THE CHAIRMAN STATED THAT NEW GUIDE LINES HAVE BEEN ADOPTED BY THE STATE OF FLORIDA REGARDING PROCEDURES TO APPOINT AND REAPPOINT THE CIVIL DEFENSE DIRECTOR. THESE NEW GUIDELINES WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE JUNE 1, 1975. WE HAVE BEEN ASKED TO APPROVE THESE NEW PROCEDURES AND ABIDE BY THEM AND ALSO, TIME IS APPROACHING WHEN WE WILL HAVE TO SEEK RECONFIRMATION OF OUR CIVIL DEFENSE DIRECTOR, EDWARD JACKSON. THE CHAIRMAN STATED THAT ACCORDING TO THESE GUIDELINES, THERE ARE TWO BASIC DIFFERENCES IN THE NEWLY ADOPTED PROCEDURES: 1. APPLICATIONS HAVE TO BE SENT TO THE STATE FOR APPROVAL; 2. THE REAPPOINTMENT OF AN EXISTING CIVIL DEFENSE DIRECTOR REMAINS WITH THE BOARD. THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME QUESTION WITH THE STATE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE A FULL TIME DIRECTOR OR A PART TIME DIRECTOR. ED JACKSON, CIVIL DEFENSE DIRECTOR WAS ASKED, HOW MUCH TIME DOES HE FEEL IS NECESSARY ,TO CARRY OUT THE PROGRAMS THE BOARD HAS ASKED TO BE CARRIED OUT. MR. JACKSON STATED THAT BASED ON WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED IN THE PAST, HE WOULD STATE AN AVERAGE OF THREE HOURS A DAY. HE CONTINUED THAT TODAY THE EMPHASIS IS ON PREPAREDNESS IN THE EVENT OF A NATURAL DISASTER, HE HAS TRIED TO UP -DATE THE COUNTY'S PLANS IN CON- NECTION WITH THE GROWTH IN THE BEACH AREA. THESE PLANS HAVE TO BE AP- PROVED ON A STATE LEVEL BEFORE THEY COME DOWN TO THIS BOARD FOR APPROVAL. THE STATE WOULD PREFER TO HAVE A FULL TIME DIRECTOR. MR. JACKSON STATED THAT HE DID NOT APPLY FOR THIS JOB ON A FULL TIME BASIS AND IF THE BOARD DECIDES TO GO ALONG WITH STATE GUIDE LINES FOR A FULL TIME DIRECTOR, HE WOULD NOT BE INTERESTED. 2 AM 4 1J75 PAGE t, 2 COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED IF MR. JACKSON FEELS WE NEED A FULL TIME DIRECTOR. MR. JACKSON STATED, THAT BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH CO- OPERATION BETWEEN AGENCIES IN THIS COUNTY, HE DOES NOT FEEL THE COUNTY NEEDS A FULL TIME DIRECTOR. COMMISSIONER MASSEY STATED THAT WITH THE 911 EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBER SYSTEM COMING INTO EXISTANCE, MAYBE THE COUNTY WILL NOT NEED A CIVIL DEFENSE DIRECTOR. MR, JACKSON STATED THAT THE CIVIL DEFENSE �JIRECTOR DOES GIVE THE COUNTY ACCESS TO FEDERAL FUNDS. WE HAVE RECEIVED IN THE PAST 50% FUNDING TOWARDS THE PURCHASE OF TWO PIECES OF EQUIPMENT, USED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, CALLED THE "JAWS OF LIFE", AND FOR THAT REASON IT WOULD BENEFIT THE COUNTY TO KEEP THIS POSITION, CHAIRMAN LOY SUGGESTED THAT WE STAY WITH OUR PRESENT POLICY AND CHANGE THE TERMINOLOGY ON THE STATE FORMS :.. INDICATING THE EXACT AMOUNT OF TIME ON THE JOB WHICH MR. JACKSON HAS INDICATED IS ABOUT 25%. MR. JACKSON IS FULL TIME TO US AND HE IS ON CALL 24 HOURS A DAY AND DOES WHAT THE BOARDS ASKS OF HIM. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER MASSEY, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE CHAIRMAN TO ASK THE DIVISION DIRECTOR OF THE CIVIL DEFENSE OFFICE TO ATTEND OUR NEXT MEETING PERTAIN- ING TO THIS DISCUSSION. DANA HOWARD, ENGINEER APPEARED REQUESTING TENTATIVE APPROVAL OF RIVER TREES SUBDIVISION OWNED BY C. YODER. THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR STATED THAT ON MAY 8, 1975 THE SUBDIVISION REVIEW COMMITTEE MET AND SUGGESTED THAT CERTAIN INFORMATION BE SHOWN ON THE PLAN BEFORE THE PLAN IS SUBMITTED TO THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. IF THIS WAS DONE THE SUBDIVISON REVIEW COMMITTEE WOULD RECOMMEND TENTATIVE APPROVAL OF THIS RIVER TREES SUBDIVISION. THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR STATED THAT THE INFORMATION REQUESTED HAS BEEN DONE AND IT SHOWS ON THE PLAN. MR. HOWARD STATED THAT UPON INVESTIGATION, MR. YODER HAS FOUND THAT THE RIVER ROAD (OLD U.S. 1) FROM ROSELAND ROAD TO BAY STREET HAS ONLY A 30 FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY WHICH IS NOT COMPATIBLE TO THE 60 FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY ON THE REMAINDER OF THIS RIVER ROAD. 3 .. r 2 /975 900 1( 01 ���� IN ORDER TO CONFORM WITH THE PRESENT SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS A 60 FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY IS REQUIRED AND IS SHOWN ON THIS PLAN. MR. YODER IS REQUESTING THE BOARD TO MAINTAIN -THE 30 FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME BEAUTIFUL TREES THAT HE IS AFRAID WILL BE DESTROYED. INR. HOWARD CONTINUED THAT RIVER ROAD IS A COUNTY ROAD. THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR STATED THAT THE ROAD IS SUFFICIENT AT 30 FEET TO SERVE THE PUBLIC, BUT IT CANNOT CONFORM TO THE SUBDIVISON REGULATIONS.' COMMISSIONER SIEBERT INFORMED MR. YODER THAT A 60 FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY DOES NOT MEAN THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TREES. THIS BOARD OR ANY BOARD WOULD BE HARD -PUT TO DESTROY THOSE TREES WITHOUT GOOD CAUSE. DONALD MACDONALD APPEARED AND ENLIGHTENED THE BOARD HOW THIS RIVER ROAD HAS A 30 FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY IN ONE PART AND A 60 FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY IN ANOTHER. COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER STATED THAT HE FEELS IT WOULD BE A SEVERE MISTAKE TO CHANGE OUR SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS TO APPROVE A 30 FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY, AS REQUESTED BY 1IR. YRDER. COMMISSIONER MASSEY STATED HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS RIVER ROAD ESTABLISHED AS A LANDMARK AND HAVE IT PRESERVED AS A HISTORICAL ROAD. ATTORNEY BURCH STATED THAT THERE ARE WAYS TO ESTABLISH HISTORICAL HIGHWAYS, BUT HE WOULD HAVE TO INVESTIGATE THIS FURTHER. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONE' SIEBERT, TO GRANT TENTATIVE APPROVAL TO THE RIVER TREES SUBDIVISION PLAN, AS SHOWN BY DANA HOWARD AND OWNED BY C. YODER.

COMMISSIONER WODTKE STATED THAT HE FEELS THE PROGRAM IS A NEEDED ONE, BUT UNTIL HE SEES THE WHOLE PICTURE, HE CANNOT TELL IF THE COUNTY CAN AFFORD IT. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED IT IS NOT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY INVOLVED BUT IT IS TAKING A SOCIAL FUNCTION NOW FUNDED, IN PART, BY THE STATE WHICH WILL BECOME A COUNTY FUNCTION WHEN THE STATE DOES NOT FUND IT ANY LONGER.

ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER MASSEY, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE SIGNATURE OF THE CHAIRMAN ON THE MAINTENANCE MAP ON QUAY DOCK ROAD, TO BE RECORDED. THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR INFORMED THE BOARD OF A LETTER FROM WILLIAM H. MCCLURE, SUPERINTENDENT, INDIAN RIVER COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD, AND ALSO FROM A PRIVATE CITIZEN/REQUESTING APPROVAL FROM THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TO IMPROVE THE SURFACE OF BLUE CYPRESS ROAD OFF STATE ROAD 60. THIS ROAD IS THE ROUTE USED BY THE SCHOOL BUS AND THE CONDITION OF 'THE ROAD IS VERY BAD. JOE MIDDLETON, CARETAKER OF BLUE CYPRESS PARK DOES GRADE THIS ROAD ON A REGULAR BASIS. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT WE HAVE HAD THIS REQUEST BEFORE AND AT THAT TIME WE STATED THAT WITH THE ECONOMICS INVOLVED, IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO PAVE THAT ROAD AT THAT TIME. THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR STATED THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT $50,000.00 TO CONSTRUCT THIS ROAD WITH A SOIL CEMENT BASE. COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER STATED THAT THERE ARE MANY ROADS THAT THE SCHOOL BUSES RUN ON THAT ARE NOT PAVED. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER MASSEY, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO ANSWER THE TWO LETTERS SAYING THAT IT IS A POTENTIAL PROJECT FOR THE COUNTY, BUT AT THE PRESENT TIME IT IS COST PROHIBITIVE. WHEN MONEY BECOMES AVAILABLE IT WILL BE CONSIDERED IN OUR LONG RANGE PLANNING. THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR STATED THAT WE HAVE A REQUEST FROM HARRIS SANITATION REGARDING AN APPLICATION FOR A FRANCHISE AND THEY ARE REQUESTING APPROVAL TO ADVERTISE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING. THE APPLICATION IS IN ORDER AND READY FOR PUBLIC HEARING. THE CHAIRMAN ASKED ATTORNEY BURCH FOR A REPORT ON THE STATUS OF ANDY'S SANITATION. ATTORNEY BURCH STATED THAT AT THE £IAY 21ST, 1975 BOARD MEETING HE WAS AUTHORIZED TO ISSUE A "CEASE AND DESIST" ORDER TO THE MORRILL BROTHERS, WHICH HE HAS DONE. HE ALSO HAS WRITTEN A LETTER TO THE PRESENT FRANCHISE HOLDER OF ANDY'S SANITATION, CHADWICK AND DORTON WHO ARE THE LAST APPROVED HOLDERS OF THIS FRANCHISE. SINCE THEY SOLD 10 JUN 4 1375 401-14 23 PAGE 10 x IT TO THE MORRILL BROTHERS WITHOUT APPROVAL OF THE BOARD, THEY ARE IN VIOLATION, AND THEY WILL HAVE A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME TO CORRECT THIS. THE BOARD,AT THE APRIL 9TH, 1975 MEETING,DENIED THE RECUEST FROM MORRILL BROTHERS TO HAVE THIS FRANCHISE TRANSFERRED TO THEM. ATTORNEY BURCH INFORMED CHADWICK AND DORTON THAT A PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE HELD TO CONSIDERED WHETHER OR NOT ANDY'S SANITATION'S FRANCHISE SHOULD BE TERMINATED. CHAIRMAN LOY QUESTIONED A PORTION OF THE EXISTING FRANCHISE THAT LIMITS THE NUMBER OF FRANCHISES AVAILABLE IN THIS COUNTY. THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR STATED THAT PHRASE HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE FRANCHISE. IT IS A NONEXCLUSIVE FRANCHISE FOR THE COUNTY. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE TO AUTHORIZE THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR, THE CHAIRMAN AND THE COUNTY ATTORNEY TO SET A TIME FOR A PUBLIC HEARING FOR HARRIS SANITATION REGARDING THEIR APPLICATION FOR A FRANCHISE, SUBJECT TO THE ATTORNEY CLEARING UP ALL QUESTIONS REGARDING THE EXISTING FRANCHISE. THE BOARD AGREED THAT THE INTENTION OF THE MOTION IS THAT IF THERE ARE PROBLEMS IN THE EXISTING FRANCHISE, IT WILL GIVE THE ATTORNEY LATITUDE IN DECIDING WHEN TO SET THE PUBLIC HEARING. THERE IS A PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULED REGARDING WHETHER OR NOT TO TERMINATE ANDY'S SANITATION FRANCHISE. ONCE THE ATTORNEY IS SATISFIED WITH THE TERMINOLOGY IN THE FRANCHISE ITSELF HE CAN ADVERTISE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE APPLICATION FOR A FRANCHISE BY HARRIS SANITATION. THE MOTION WAS WITHDRAWN BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT AND THE SECONDED WAS WITHDRAWN BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE. COMMISSIONER WODTKE INFORMED THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR OF INFORMATION HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BEFORE HARRIS SANITATION APPEARS AT THEIR PUBLIC HEARING FOR A GARBAGE FRANCHISE. 1. FINANCIAL FIGURES FROM THE PARENT COMPANY 2. INFORMATION REGARDING ANY LITIGATION THEY OR THE PARENT COMPANY MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH DURING THE PAST FIVE YEARS. 3. INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE PARENT COMPANY AND THEIR HOLDINGS 4. A LIST OF THEIR AREAS OF OPERATION IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA 5. INFORMATION REGARDING TRANSFER FEES PAID TO THE PARENT COMPANY COMMISSIONER WODTKE SUGGESTED THAT THE FOLLOWING BE INCLUDED 11 `ooK 23 PAGE 11 IN THE FRANCHISE: 1. ALL RATE INCREASES HAVE THE APPROVAL OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND 2. LOCATION OF GARBAGE PICK-UP DEFINED. THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR WILL NOTIFY HARRIS SANITATION OF THE ITEMS THE BOARD WILL REQUIRE AT THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE SCHEDULED AFTER THE ATTORNEY HAS INVESTIGATED THE WORDING OF THE FRANCHISE. THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR DISCUSSED WITH THE BOARD THE POS- SIBILITY OF REIMBURSING THE ROAD AND BRIDGE DEPARTMENT FOR THEIR WORK IN CONSTRUCTING GARBAGE COLLECTOR STATIONS. THE ROAD AND BRIDGE DE- PARTMENT HAS EXPENDED A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM THEIR BUDGET TO DO THIS JOB. THE STATE REQUIRED THESE COLLECTOR STATIONS BE BUILT AND MONEY FROM THE ROAD AND BRIDGE DEPARTMENT THAT WAS BUDGETED FOR RESURFACING OF CERTAIN ROADS THAT ARE DETERIORATING, WAS USED. CHAIRMAN LOY STATED THAT THIS IS A PERFECT PROJECT FOR FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING FUNDS. IN THE PAST, WE HAVE USED FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING FUNDS FOR CAPITAL EXPEDITURES. BY LAW WE HAD TO PUT IN THESE COLLECTOR STATIONS AND THIS IS THE COMPLETION OF A FOUR TO FIVE YEAR PROJECT. WE HAVE TO EXPEND OUR FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING FUNDS BY JUNE 30, 1975. THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR STATED THAT HE HAS EXPENDED $63,000.00 FOR MATERIALS. THE COST IS ACTUALLY HIGHER BECAUSE OF THE ADDITIONAL WORK THAT HAD TO BE DONE SUCH AS ENGINEERING, AND RENTING OF CERTAIN EQUIPMENT. THE ACTUAL COST IS $120,000.000 NOT INCLUDING THE LABOR. r CHAIRMAN LOY STATED THAT IF THE ROAD AND BRIDGE DEPARTMENT IS NOT REIMBURSED, THERE CAN BE NO ROAD PAVING DONE DURING THIS BUDGET • YEAR. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONE' SIEBERT, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED TRANSFERRING $80,000.00 FROM FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING FUNDS TO THE ROAD AND BRIDGE DEPARTMENT FOR COLLECTOR STATIONS BUILT WITH MONEY FROM THEIR BUDGET. AN ITEMIZED LIST OF EXPENDITURES TO JUSTIFY THIS AMOUNT WILL BE INCLUDED WITH THE BUDGET AMENDMENT. WHEN THE LIST OF EXPENDITURES AND THE BUDGET AMENDMENT ARE COMPLETED THEY WILL BE MADE A PART OF THE MINUTES. } 12 JUN 45 `' - PAGE 1 THE BOARD RECESSED AT 12:00 O'CLOCK NOON AND RECONVENED AT 1:30 O'CLOCK P.M. ANN REUTER, LOCAL REAL ESTATE AGENT AND JOE GELLER, REAL ESTATE AGENT REPRESENTING ARISTAR, THE COMPANY THAT OWNS THE OLD GRANT BUILDING WHICH IS FOR SALE AND WHICH THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ARE INVESTIGATING WITH THE THOUGHT OF BUYING, WERE PRESENT TO DISCUSS THIS BUILDING. CHAIRMAN LOY ASKED ;WHAT THE ASSESSMENT ON THE GRANT BUILDING IS AND SHE WAS INFORMED THE TAXES FOR 1973 WERE $2,781.00. ATTORNEY BURCH ENTERED THE MEETING AT 1:50 O'CLOCK P.M. MR. GELLER STATED THAT HIS COMPANY WOULD PREFER THAT THE COUNTY TENDER AN OFFER ON THE BUILDING AS IS AND WITH THE COUNTY RE- PAIRING THE BUILDING AS THEY SEE FIT. MRS. REUTER STATED THAT A PRELIMINARY STUDY COULD BE DONE AND THE COST COULD BE WRITTEN INTO A PURCHASE AGREEMENT. COMMISSIONER WODTKE STATED THAT HE DID NOT FEEL WE COULD SIGN AN AGREEMENT UNTIL AN APPRAISAL AND PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING STUDY WAS MADE. COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER SUGGESTED THAT THE COUNTY ADMINIS- TRATOR RETAIN A GENERAL CONTRACTOR TO INSPECT THE BUILDING WITH THE INTENTION OF HAVING IT CONFORM WITH OUR BUILDING DIRECTOR'S REQUIREMENTS AND TO PREPARE AN ESTIMATE OF COST. WE WOULD THEN HAVE A ROUGH IDEA OF WHAT IT WOULD COST TO MAKE THE BUILDING USABLE AND THAT AMOUNT COULD BE DEDUCTED FROM THE SELLING PRICE OF THE BUILDING. CHAIRMAN LOY ASKED IF THE BOARD IS INTERESTED IN PURSUING THIS FURTHER. • COMMISSIONER MASSEY STATED THAT HE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN PURSUING THIS FURTHER. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE DOES NOT FEEL THIS IS AN UNREASONABLE OFFER OR ONE THAT COULD NOT BE NEGOTIATED IF THAT IS TRULY WHAT THE BOARD WANTS TO DO. HE FEELS WE ARE POSTPONING THE INEVITABLE AND IT WILL MAKE THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION OF A COURTHOUSE COMPLEX THAT MUCH FURTHER AWAY, BUT IF THE REST OF THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO DO THI' HE WOULD BE IN AGREEMENT. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER MASSEY, TO CONTACT A LOCAL GENERAL CONTRACTOR TO SECURE COST ESTIMATES ON THE OLD GRANT BUILDING IN ORDER TO BRING IT UP TQ 13 JUN 4 i975. 9nr!ls 4,0 WAGE 13 STANDARDS FOR OCCUPANCY, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LETTER FROM OUR BUILDING DIRECTOR, AS STATED IN THE MINUTES OF MAY 21, 1975, MR, GELLER STATED THAT HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE BUILDING. TO REPAIR THE BUILDING MAY BE SO COSTLY THAT HIS COMPANY MAY DECIDE IT WOULD BE BETTER TO SELL THE LAND. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT AFTER YOU OBTAIN A COST ESTIMATE TO BRING THE BUILDING UP TO CODE, AND BEFORE YOU PURCHASE THE BUILDING, YOU WILL HAVE TO KNOW WHAT RENOVATION COSTS WILL BE AND HE FEELS OBTAINING RENOVATION COSTO SHOULD BE MADE A PART OF THE MOTION. THE BOARD DID NOT AGREE. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE MOTION: COMMISSIONER SIEBERT VOTED IN OPPOSITION, COMMISSIONERS WODTKE, MASSEY, SCHMUCKER AND CHAIRMAN LOY VOTED IN FAVOR AND THE MOTION WAS PASSED. COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER ASKED IF A REPRESENTATIVE FROM ARISTA, COULD BE PRESENT WHEN THE CONTRACTOR INSPECTS THE BUILDING AND MR, GELLER STATED THAT THAT COULD BE ARRANGED.

WERE PRESENT FOR THIS DISCUSSION. ATTORNEY BURCH STATED THAT THE IMPLEMENTING ORDINANCE TO BE DISCUSSED TODAY IS TO DECIDE IF THE BOARD WANTS THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN TO BE USED AS A GUIDE OR THE CONSTITUTION; WHETHER IT SHOULD BE A ZONING MAP OR A LAND USE MAP. HE HAD PREPARED THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE AND ALSO AN ALTERNATE SECTION WHICH WOULD MAKE THE ORDINANCE A LITTLE MORE CONCRETE IN CONTROLLING FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. THE CHAIRMAN ASKED IF ANYONE PRESENT WISHED TO BE HEARD. CHARLES DAVIS, REAL ESTATE AGENT REPRESENTING THE BOARD OF REALTORS, STATED THAT THEY SUPPORT THE LAND USE PLAN, AND THEY SUPPORT THE IMPLEMENTATION VIA THE GUIDE LINE ROUTE. JEROME KRAMER, COUNCIL FOR THE VERO BEACH CIVIC ASSOCIATION, PRESENTED THAT GROUP'S ALTERNATE PLAN WHICH WOULD HAVE REQUIRED ALL PROPERTY IN THE COUNTY TO BE REZONED TO CONFORM WITH THE LAND USE MAP. MR. KRAMER CONTINUED THAT, IN HIS OPINION, THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN WOULD NOT BE EFFECTIVE UNLESS PRESENT ZONING WAS CHANGED TO CONFORM WITH IT. THE COUNTY OFFICIALS WOULD CONTINUE TO BE UNDER PRESSURE FROM DEVELOPERS TO IGNORE OR ALTER THE PLAN IF IT IS USED ONLY AS A GUIDE. MR, BRENNAN STATED THAT IT IS HIS AND THE ZONING COMMISSION' INTENTION TO GIVE PRIORITY TO CERTAIN AREAS THAT WILL NEED TO BE ADJUSTED TO THE LAND USE PLAN. HE RECOMMENDED THAT THE BOARD ADOPT THE ORDINANCE AS IT IS PRESENTED, AND IT IS HIS INTENTION TO GO BACK TO THE ZONING COMMISSION AND ADDRESS THEMSELVES TO THESE AREAS IN GREATER DEPTH SO THAT THEY WILL EITHER CONFORM TO THE PLAN OR THE PLAN WILL BE MODIFIED. MR, KRAMER STATED THAT IF THEY INTEND TO DO THIS, WHY NOT INCLUDE IT IN THE IMPLEMENTING DOCUMENT. HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT IN 'THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE IF THIS IS THEIR INTENTION. MR. SEXTON STATED THAT THIS LAND USE PLAN IS SUPPOSED TO BE A GUIDE. THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WAS VERY CONCERNED WITH MR, KRAMER'S PROPOSAL; THE DIRECTOR OF THE BOARD OF REALTOR'S WAS CONCERNED. WHAT MR. KRAMER WOULD LIKE IS TO MAKE A ZONING MAP OUT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN. THIS WOULD BE DANGEROUS AND IMPRACTICAL AND HE DOES NOT FEEL THAT SHOULD BE THE SPIRIT OF THE WHOLE THING. HE URGED THE BOARD TO ADOPT THIS PROPOSED ORDINANCE AS PRESENTED TODAY. 16 :J 10 PAGE S PAUL "BUTCH" REDSTONE, PRESIDENT OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE APPEARED REPRESENTING THE CHAMBER, HE STATED THAT THEY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THIS LAND USE PLATY FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS AND THEY RECOMMEND THAT THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TAKE THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, THE PLANNING BOARD, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND THE ZONING COMMISSION TO USE THIS LAND USE PLAN AS A GUIDE AND A GUIDE ONLY, DON WILCOX APPEARED AND STATED THAT HE APPEARED BEFORE THE ZONING BOARD AND RECOMMENDED TO THEM THAT THEY ADOPT THE ORDINANCE PREPARED BY ATTORNEY BURCH AND THERE IS ONE BASIC REASON MR, ADLEY OF ADLEY AND ASSOCIATES WAS ASKED IF THIS LAND 'ISE PLAN WOULD BE A ZONING MAP AND HE ANSWERED "NQs" FIE URGED THE BOARD TO ADOPT THE ORDINANCE APPROVED BY THE ZONING COMMISSION TO BE USED AS GUIDE AND TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION AT THAT SAME TIME FOR THE 70NING COMMISSION TO GO BACK AND REVIEW THE AREAS THAT ARE INCONSISTENT, MR, BRENNAN STATED THAT A GREAT DEAL HAS BEEN SAID AND HE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN, HE CONTINUED THAT THE DIFFERENCE IN PHILOSOPHY SURROUNDING THE IMPLEMENTATION ORDINANCE WAS LARGELY A RESULT OF A DIFFERENCE IN TIMING, HE REMINDED THE COMMISSIONERS THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS FOR GROWTH IN THE COUNTY FROM 1975 TO 1990, HE SAID IT WOULD BE A MISTAKE TO REZONE LAND TO ITS FUTURE DESIGNATED USE, COMMISSIONER WODTKE STATED THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT AN OVERALL COUNTY. COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN NOT JUST A PARTICULAR AREA ON THE BEACH, IN ORDER TO IMPLEMENT THE WORK THESE FOUR YEARS HAVE TAKEN, I BELIEVE WE DO HAVE TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF ASSURANCE THAT THE PLAN WE HAVE ADOPTED WILL BE UTILIZED AND FOLLOWED ALTHOUGH HE IS NOT IN FAVOR OF MAKING IT MANDATORY WITHOUT MUCH MORE INPUT BY LAND OWNERS IN THE COUNTY,HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE BOARD ADOPT IT AS SOMETHING STRONGER THAN A GUIDE LINE, BUT NOT MANDATORY, COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE SEES THREE DEFINITE PROBLEMS, IT IS THE POSITION OF THE VERO BEACH ASSOCIATION AND OTHERS THAT IF ADOPTED STRICTLY AS A GUIDE THAT THE MASTER PLAN WILL BECOME WORTHLESS AND THE ZONING WILL DICTATE THE CHANGES IN THE MASTER PLAN, 17 'loop 23 PACE 17 HE CONTINUED THAT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN, PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY ARE AFRAID OF A MASSIVE REZONING OF PROPERTY IN THE COUNTY CAUSING CONSIDERABLE CHAOS, AND THAT FUTURE REZONING IN THE COUNTY WILL BECOME SO VERY DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE MASTER PLAN WILL HAVE TO BE CHANGED FIRST. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT INFORMED THE BOARD OF A STATEMENT MADE BY HARRY ADLEY AT THE MAY 29, 1975 PUBLIC HEARING TO THE EFFECT THAT IN COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE ADOPTED THE MASTER PLAN STRICTLY AS A GUIDE,, IT WAS HIS RECOMMENDATION THAT ZONING REQUESTS THAT ARE IN NON-CONFORMANCE'lI WITH THE MASTER PLAN BE HELD AND CONSIDERED ANNUALLY. MR. ADLEY CONTINUED THAT IF YOU DO NOT DEDICATE YOURSELF TO THE MASTER PLAN, THEN THE MASTER PLAN ITSELF WILL BE WORTHLESS. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT CONTINUED THAT CITIZENS OF THE COMMUNITY HAVE ASKED THAT THIS PLAN BE ADOPTED AS A GUIDE. HE STATED THAT IN CONVERSATION WITH FOUR CITIZENS FROM THE COMMUNITY HE ASKED THEM IF THEY WOULD BE CONCERNED WITH REZONING REQUESTS THAT WOULD DICTATE CHANGE IN THE MASTER PLAN RATHER THAN THE OTHER WAY AROUND. THESE CITIZENS ALL STATED BASICALLY THE SAME THING. "IT WOULD BE THE CONCERN OF THE BOARD AND NOT THEIR CONCERN." HE FURTHER ASKED THEM IF THIS ORDINANCE WAS ADOPTED STRICTLY AS A GUIDE, WOULD IT PRESENT A HARDSHIP IF REZONI" REQUESTS THAT CONTRADICT THE MASTER PLAN WERE HELD AT ONE TIME. fl A" ANNUAL BASIS. THEY ANSWERED "IT WOULD BE A PRACTICAL WAY." THEIR CONCERN WAS TO MAKE IT FLEXIBLE SO THAT CHANGE COULD BE MADE, IF NECESSARY. MR. BRENNAN STATED THAT REZONING ANNUALLY WOULD BE A PRACTICAL AND LOGICAL WAY TO HANDLE THIS. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THE ZONING COMMISSION TO CONSIDER REZONING OF PROPERTY THAT CONFLICTS WITH THE MASTER PLAN, ON AN ANNUAL BASIS ONLY. ALL REZONING REQUESTS WOULD BE PLACED ON THE MASTER PLAN SO THAT WE CAN SEE HOW IT WILL EFFECT THE MASTER PLAN. SOME REZONING MIGHT HAVE TO BE REJECTED BE- CAUSE IT DOES NOT CONFORM WITH THE MASTER PLAN OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS. CONSIDERED BY ITSELF IT MIGHT NOT EFFECT IT, BUT TOGETHER IT MIGHT COMPLETELY CHANGE THE CONCEPT OF THE PLAN. CHAIRMAN LOY ASKED MR. BRENNAN WHICH OF THE REPORTS CONTAIN THE METHODOLOGY USED FOR DEFINING DENSITIES. MR. BRENNAN STATED IT IS INCLUDED IN THE SUMMARY REPORT OF THE COM;UEHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN PREPARED IN 1973. 18 JUN 4 WS 900K 23 FACE 18 - JUN 4 1975 THE CHAIRMAN ASKED IF THE TERM DENSITY, THAT IS REFERRED TO THROUGHOUT THE PLAN COULD BE DEFINED AS IT IS IN OUR ZONING ORDINANCE AND INCLUDED IN THIS PROPOSED IMPLEMENTING ORDINANCE. THE SUMMARY REPORT REFERS TO HIGH DENSITY AS 18 UNITS PER ACRE. HIGH DENSITY IN OUR ZONING ORDINANCE IS 15 UNITS PER ACRE CHAIRMAN LOY STATED THAT ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS THE GENERAL PUBLIC HAS ACCEPTED THE BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION IS BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THE OVERALL PLAN WOULD BE USED AS A GUIDE. SHE WAS NOT IN FAVOR OF ANY TIME LIMITS UNTIL WE HAVE GIVEN THIS ORDINANCE A CHANCE TO WORK. SHE STATED THAT IF WE GIVE THE ZONING COMMISSION GOOD DIRECTIONS ON HOW WE WANT ITEMS HANDLED AND SET UP GUIDE LINES, THESE DOCUMENTS WOULD BE IN THE SPIRIT OF WHAT THE GENERAL PUBLIC FEELS THE BOARD WOULD ADOPT. CHAIRMAN LOY STATED THAT THE ONLY CHANGE SHE WOULD SUGGEST IS IN THE AREA OF DENSITIES, AS REFERRED TO ABOVE. THE METHODOLOGY SECTION OF THE SUMMARY PLAN IS NOT WHAT SHE IS LOOKING FOR. SHE WOULD LIKE TO SEE DENSITIES DONE BY DEFINITION, AND WOULD APPROVE THE ORDINANCE. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED THE INDIVIDUALS PRESENT FOR THIS DISCUSSION WHAT THEIR FEELINGS ARE ON HOLDING REZONING REQUESTS IN AREAS THAT WOULD BE IN CONFLICT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN ONLY ONCE A YEAR. MR, WILCOX STATED THAT HE FEELS IT IS AN EXCELLENT POINT, BUT COULD CREATE PROBLEMS. HE SUGGESTED AND RECOMMENDED ADOPTING THE ORDINANCE AS PREPARED BY ATTORNEY BURCH AND SEE HOW IT WORKS AND AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME AND THE ORDINANCE IS MODIFIED, HE WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST REZONING REQUESTS BE HELD EVERY SIX MONTHS INSTEAD OF ONE YEAR. MR, BRENNAN STATED THAT HE WOULD PREFER A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR FOR REVIEW SINCE HIS DEPARTMENT WILL DO THE WORK. IT DOES NOT MEAN DEVELOPERS SHOULD WAIT FOR ONE YEAR AND THEN COME IN AT ONE TIME. WE'HOPE THAT THEY WILL COME IN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, WE WILL KEEP THE ZONING COMMISSION ABREAST OF WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED AND THE FINAL DECISION WILL BE MADE AT THE ANNUAL REVIEW. CHARLES DAVIS STATED THAT IN HIS TYPE OF BUSINESS HOLDING REZONING REQUESTS FOR ONE YEAR WOULD BE A HINDERANCE TO HIS BUSINESS. MR, REDSTONE STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT OBJECT TO THE REVIEW OF REZONING REQUESTS ANNUALLY OR EVERY SIX MONTHS. 19 900k -23 i PAGE MR, KRAMER REQUESTED THAT THE MEMORANDUM FROM THE VERO BEACH CIVIC ASSOCIATION AND EXHIBITS A, B, C AND D BE MADE A PART OF THESE MINUTES. THE BOARD AGREED AND THE MATERIALS MR, KRAMER REQUESTED ARE HEREBY BEING MADE A PART OFTTHESE MINUTES, • MEMORANDUM May 20, 1975 To: The Board of County Commissioners Indian River County, Florida • Re: Proposed "Master Plan" INTRODUCTION As you know, the Vero Beach Civic Association and related property owner groups and citizens have been vitally interested in establishing reasonable controls on growth in this County and, more particularly in promoting adoption of an enforceable comprehensive plan for controlling future growth. To that end, we have carefully re-examined the history of such planning ac- tivity in this community and our position in relation to the present status of such activities in the County. As a result, we are concerned that certain aspects of that history may give rise to various bases for subsequent attack against any comprehensive plan that may be adopted by the County and thereby defeat its objectives and our purpose in promoting such control on growth in the County. Accordingly, in the broadest sense of civic input and our sincere intent to assist you in your forthcoming consideration of this matter, we submit the following summary of our review and analysis of same. HISTORY Indian River County was created in 1925 under Chapter 10148 of the Laws of Florida. In 1941, by special act embodied in Chapter 31310, Florida Statutes, the Board of County Commission- ers was granted the power to create a Zoning Commission and to regulate zoning and construction in the County "in accordance with a comprehensive plan." Pursuant to that authority, various zoning ordinances and districts have been created within the County. However, this SpeAal Act did not give Indian River County the authority to enter into agreements with other govern- mental agencies relating to the preparation and enforcement of comprehensive planning. Subsequently, in 1969, the Legislature enacted Chapt.• 160 relating to "Regional Pla_2Ong Councils" and Chapter 163 rela-y 20 JIJN 4 3''nt 2J ting to "Intergovernmental Programs." Part I of Chapter 163 was specifically entitled "Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act of 1969" and, in Section 163.02 thereof, provided for the crea- tion of "Councils of Local Public Officials" for the purposes set forth therein. Part II of Chapter 163 (copy enclosed as Exhibit A) related to and was specifically entitled "County and Municipal Planning for Future Development" and, as we under- stand it, set forth definite procedures that must be adhered to in the individual or joint development of a comprehensive (Master) Plan for future growth unless the city and/or county had pre-existing authority to engage in such planning. In the latter case, such city and/or county could continue to operate under such pre-existing authority until such time as they elec- ted to operate under Part II of Chapter 163. Still later, in 1971, the Legislature enacted Chapter 125 which made broad home rule powers available to the counties of this state under the amended Constitution of 1968, including the power to prepare and enforce comprehensive plans for county development and to enter into agreements with other governmen- tal agencies relating thereto. This chapter neither repealed nor excepted the earlier Chapters 160 and 163. However, Indian River County did not elect to take advantage of Chapter 125 until February 7, 1973 when it repealed (on an emergency basis) its pre-existing authority Chapter 21310. In the meantime, the records of Indian River County show that on August 7, 1968, the County Commissioners created a "Citizens` Planning Authority." The name was changed to "Indian River Long Range Planning Council" on November 6, 1968, and on February 6, 1969, that Council recommended hiring a full time planner. On May 7, 1969, the County Commissioners agreed with the Vero Beach City Council to employ jointly a planner with each entity bearing one-half the cost. On June 25, 1969, the County and City created jointly a "Buffer Commission" consist- ing of elected and appointed city and county officials. On recommendation of that Commission, now called the Vero Beach - Indian River County Planning Commission, the City and County jointly employed and agreed to split the cost of a full time planner on December 23, 1969. Earlier in 1971, the joint Plan- ning Commission was authorized by Resolution to contract with the state and federal governments for grants under the provi- sions of Section 701 of the Federal Housing Act of 1954 to develop a comprehensive plan for the City and County. This Act is administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and, in Florida, with respect to comprehensive 21 -2- JUN w 100k• ''AGE :: Planning activities, through the State's Department of Community Affairs. It appears that the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) was empowered to process local community applications for 701 funds by Part I of Chapter 163. It is not explicitly clear whether this power was limited solely to activities authorized by Chapter 163, but since the power was granted by this Chapter, and absent other authority or a definitive ruling to the con- trary, it would seem that the power may be so limited. In other words, while Chapter 21310 empowered the County to engage in zoning pursuant to a comprehensive plan, and Chapter 125 later empowered the County to engage in such planning and toenter into agreements with other governmental agencies relating there- to, neither of these chapters specifically empowered the County to apply for and receive 701 funds for such planning activities. Under Chapter 163, Part II, Sections 163.175, 163.180, 163.190, 163.195, 163.200 and 163'.205 the City and County would be empowered to "jointly exercise the powers granted under this part" as follows: (1) By formal adoption, following a public hearing, of a joint agreement to so do. (2) Following such agreement, they. would be empow- ered to establish a joint planning commission pursuant to such an agreement, but elected officeholders could serve on the commission only in an ex officio capacity (As we have seen, a joint planning commission was created, but its principal members are elected or appointed officeholders - from the County; Chairman of Board of County Commissioners, County Adminis- trator, Chairman of County Zoning Commission - from the City; the Mayor, the City Manager and the Chairman of the Parks, Planning and Zoning Commission). Under this Chapter, the Commission was to gather information, hold public hearings and develop a comprehensive plan. (As will be seen later, our joint planning commission did not engage in these activities, but delegated them to the planning department and a planning consultant.) The final comprehensive plan, following public hearing and adoption by the planning commis- sion was to be certified the commission to (3) JUN 4 1975 22-3- gnat 2a Gs 1. ;� JUN 4 1975 • the governing bodies (i.e., the City Council and the Board of County Commissioners) as the recommendations of that commission. (4) Thereafter, the governing bodies would be em- powered to adopt the comprehensive plan by majority vote. (This has been done by the City but not the County.) Following such adoption of the comprehensive plan, under this Chapter, nothing could be "constructed, altered or authorized" which was not in conformity with the plan unless speci- fically authorized by the joint planning com- mission with the concurrence of the governing bodies (The City's Ordinance accomplishes this in part [except for "problem areas"). The pro- posal before the County does not. (6) The comprehensive plan would be subject to review and up -dating at least once each year. (This is embodied in both the City and the proposed County Ordinances.) The governing bodies would be empowered to enact zoning ordinances regulating construction and land uses in conformity with the comprehen- sive plan. (The City's Ordinance contemplates this, but the proposal before the County is contra.) (5) (7) In this City and County, a joint planning commission was created between the City and County which consisted primarily of elected or appointed officeholders. That Commission did not itself gather information, hold public hearings or devel- op a comprehensive plan. Instead, beginning in August 1971, and each year thereafter, the joint planning commission, on behalf of and with the approval of the City and County gover- ning bodies, entered into contracts with the Department of Community Affairs "under Chapter �" for 701 funds to finance these activities. They also entered into concurrent contracts with Adley & Associates to engage in these activities in their behalf with the assistance of the joint City - County planning department. Thus, the joint planning commission was a conduit for disbursing contracted 701 funds to Adley & Associates and, in part, to the joint planning departr nt. Of course, addi- tional local tax funds were expended on thr-e activities by the planning department. -4- 4 1.c:r. P JUN 4in As information was gathered and the plan developed by Adley and the planning department, it was independently con- sidered at numerous workshops of City and County zoning com- missions respectively. While these workshops were open to the public, they were not usually characterized as public hearings or meetings. Indeed, at many such workshops, public input was excluded. The only public meetings that were sched- uled for and noticed to the general public were on October 3, 1973 (for the unincorporated portion of the County plan), and on January 31, 1974 (for the City portion of the plan). The City portion of the plan was finally referred by the planning department to the City's Parks, Planning and Zoning Commission who, in turn, recommended it to the City Council for adoption with an implementing Ordinance No. 1250 which was passed by the City Council on February 4, 1975. That Ordinance (copy enclosed as Exhibit B) is generally consist- ent with the requirements of Chapter 163. The unincorporated County portion of the plan was simi- larly referred by the planning department to the County Zoning Commission who, in turn, have recommended it to the County Commission with an implementing Ordinance (copy enclosed as Exhibit C) which does not conform to the requirements of Chapter 163. This matter is scheduled for public hearing before the County Commission for May 29, 1975. The proposed County Ordinance does not conform in that it does not restrain zoning and land use which is inconsist- ent with the plan and does not require zoning and land use to conform to the plan (subject to the safeguards of public hearings and annual review of the plan). As a consequence, we had proposed a substitute Ordinance (copy enclosed as Exhibit D) which was more consistent with the City's Ordi- nance and with the requirements of Chapter 163. However, the County Zoning Commission rejected our proposal in favor of the ordinance they are now recommending to the County Commis- sion. The difference between the two proposals is the dif- ference between having a plan which has no controlling force and effect and one which can control growth in accordance with the plan. In our view, if you don't have the latter, the expenditure of time, effort and money in developing the plan has been for naught. -5- 3F)Pt. 3 In consideration of the foregoing, it is our view that it can be seriously contended that the City and County, by approv- ing the contracts entered into by their joint planning commis- sion "under Chapter 163," elected to engage in the planning activities authorized by that Chapter and were, therefore, obliged to comply with the requirements of that Chapter. In any case, they were obliged (unless formally released) to com- ply with the requirements of those contracts. THE CONTRACTS Under those contracts, the City and the County obligated themselves to render certain services relating to the develop- ment of a comprehensive plan (see Appendix) to the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and the Federal Department of Hous- ing and Urban Development (HUD) in return for 701 funds. Those services are explicitly spelled out in each contract and in- cluded certain obligations common to all of the contracts. Thus, in each contract they agreed that: "Beginning no later than 90 days after the effective date of this (each) contract, and at least once every 90 days thereafter un- til the project is satisfactorily concluded, the community (joint planning commission) will arrange to hold public meetings for the purpose of explaining the progress on the project and /or public discussion of study concepts or alternative proposals" (subject to requirements of notice, etc.). Cis noted above, there were only two pub- lic meetings on Oct. 3, 1973 and Jan. 31, 1974 that could be so characterized Indeed, as early as April 19, 1973, Mr. R. Charles Shephard of DCA complained to Mr. Brennan by letter that the above -noted requirement was not being met. As a consequence, later on December 27, 1973, in a separate contract specifically addressed to this problem, the City and County agreed to create a citizens organization for citizens' participation in the planning process by June 30, 1974. This contract also spelled out the details of how such an organization was to be created and function "as a minimal requirement *** applicable to all communities receiv- ing funding." This minimal requirement was also an obligation under the most recent and current contract entered into on or about October 3, 1974 (for a term ending on June 30, 1975). -6- JUN 4 1975 95 1 No such program for citizen's participation has ever been creat- ed in connection with the joint planning program in this City and County. While this Association urged the creation of such a program for citizen's participation early in 1973 consistent with your. contract obligations under Chapter 163, we wonder what useful purpose such a program could serve at this late date. On the other hand, the contractual obligations are clear and, if not met, can give rise to challenge by property owners, developers and the like who may be dissatisfied with the land use assigned to their property under any:plan that may be adopted. Recogni- tion must also be given to the "termination" clauses in each contract which empowers the DCA to terminate and recover damages for breach of the contracts (subject to accountability for disbursed 701 funds to HUD). Further, in this connection, one must inquire into the ultimate objective of each of the contracts in question. Clear- ly, the objective of Chapter 163 is to attain adoption of a comprehensive plan that controls land use through the vehicle of the plan and zoning which is consistent with the plan.(This does not mean that the zoning map will be identical to the plan; only that it will be consistent with the plan. In other words "medium density" on the plan may have three or more zoning cate- gories.) The objective of the contracts must be the same, otherwise, the expenditure of 701 and local funds would have been for naught. The foregoing is borne out by reference to other obligated services under certain of the contracts. Thus, in the "second phase" of this planning program contemplated by the contract entered into on or about October 3, 1972, the contract requires, at page 5, par. 6, the following service to be rendered: "Zoning Review - Basic proposals of valid zoning regulations are, that they be rea- sonable, that they be comprehensive and that they reflect a sound land use pattern for land development. This will be a re- view of the two new zoning regulations recently adopted by the City and the County (1970 and 1971) to determine what changes should be made to carry out the land use patterns and what changes are necessary to promote implementing (the) objectives a.3 proposals of the Comprehensive Development -7- 401 3 'VE JUN 41275 �T q Plan. Findings will be published as r2 - posed amendments to the existing Ordinance and (Zoning) map." Adley & Associates were apparently paid for such a review under their companion contract of October 10, 1972, but, as noted earlier, neither the planning department nor the County Zoning Commission have been willing to incorporate such changes in the implementing Ordinance they are recommending to you (Exhibit C). Our proposed Ordinance, (Exhibit D) on the other hand, would clearly discharge this obligation. In this connec- tion, reference should be made to the current contract entered into on October 3, 1974 relating to "Impact Zoning, Phase II - Incorporation into Zoning Ordinance" which requires modifica- tion of present zoning regulations to include impact zoning procedures. While there are areas of your planning activity that may bear closer scrutiny in the discharge of your elected responsi- bilities to the citizens of this County, we have brought to your attention those which appear to be most significant and which are most likely to subject your planning activity to challenge. They are basically: (1) A lack of required citizens participation. (2) A disregard for the enforceability of the plan; i.e., to use the plan as a mere guide to future rezoning rather than to conform zoning and future land use to the plan (sub- ject of course to due process and annual review of the plan). (3) A potential for disregarding implementation of impact zoning procedures in your zoning regulations. CURING THE PROBLEMS (1) We don't know whether the first problem; namely,lack of adequate citizen's participation, can be cured at this late date. Certainly, it cannot be cured without the consent of the DCA and, even possibly HUD. To say that this Association may have attended and/or been represented at most workshops and hearings concerning the plan does not answer for the lack of notice to and absence of other citizens and interested elements in the community. However, This Association is not in favor. of repeating the last four years to insure adequate citizen's par- -8- 3 27 ticipation. It is our suggestion that some attempt be made to cure this problem with the DCA; even if it means some adjust- ment in 701 funding. To attempt, to conceal this possible breach from the DCA and HUD, as implied by some, would be the height of folly. This County Commission has an obligation on behalf of the citizens of this County to obtain assurances from DCA of substantial compliance or otherwise make such adjustments as may be -necessary to obtain such assurances. Hopefully, this will also be sufficient to forestall challenges against either or both the County and DCA in the future. (2) Fortunately, the second problem can still be cured by rejecting the totally inadequate implementing ordinance pro- posed by your County Zoning Commission and other elements of the community, and by adopting an ordinance patterned after our proposal (Exhibit D) following public hearings beginning on May 29, 1975. (3) The potential of the third problem can be eliminated by insuring that impact zoning procedures are included in your zoning regulations and/or ordinances in compliance with your obligations under your current contract with DCA. CONCLUSION We have tried to avoid unduly amplifying the problem areas which we perceive in the current state of your planning activi- ty. However, we would be remiss in our obligations to our mem- bers and as a civic organization in this community if we did not bring our concerns to your - the elected officeholders - attention on the eve of your proposed adoption of a comprehen- sive land use plan for controlling future growth in the County. We have tried to bring these questions to your attention in the past, but unfortunately an apparent lack of information and, in some cases, possibly misguided information from other ele- ments in the community fostered by a defensive reaction to our objectives has led you to overlook these questions to date. We hope you can allay our concerns with the direction you take in adopting the proposed plan or even, possibly, with documen- ted information that we are not now privy to which would mini- mize or offset these concerns. In any case, we repeat that our oc'^ctive is to ensure the establishment of acceptable controls on future growth, prefer- ably in the form of a -..able and enforceable comprehensive land use plan, which will not be subject to challenge and continued —9— JUN 4 em 610 nnnk r r� expenditure of public funds for defensive purposes or correc- tive measures after adoption. It is to that end, and that end alone, that we have submitted the within Memorandum to you and ask for your informed consideration and resolution of the pro- blems perceived herein. We particularly wish to emphasize that, except for certain areas which have been under considerable development pressure, we have not presumed to substitute our lay judgment for that of the professional planners in the make-up of the proposed plan. As to the excepted areas, we feel that we were entitled to submit our views and desires consistent with the obligatory requirements of HUD, the DCA and Chapter 163 for c: .izen parti- cipation. As to other areas, remote from most of our members, we feel it was incumbent on citizens and property owners in those areas to have followed our example and insisted on their right to participate in the planner's characterization of land uses in such areas. As reflected by our proposed implementing Ordinance (Exhib- it D), we urge you to adopt the plan as proposed in principle with an Ordinance patterned after our proposal so that those areas that may not have received the in depth attention they deserved can be examined in a prescribed. time frame and the plan approved or modified as to those areas consistent with the desires of the affected property owners and the profes- sional input from our planners. -Thank you for your interest and your continued cooperation; and we look forward to participating in your public hearing on May 29th next.

The Land Use Plan is not a constitution but a guide only to the most compatible, least disruptive, uses of land on a broad, general area basis without in some cases considering the present use of lands included therein. A broad brush approach was used with the intent that boundary line's not be interpreted as being permanently' fixed or located. The Plan is not ultimately definitive. It is simply a gauge for determining the optimum desirable development under presently known resources. (9) It is further the intent of this act to encourage co- operation and coordination on planning and zoning between municipalities and county government. Section 3. Adoption: The Comprehensive Plan for Indian River County, Florida as originally prepared by Adley Associates, Inc. and there- after amended is hereby adopted as the Comprehensive Plan for Indian River County, Florida.

Other elements may be reviewed as needed but not less than once every five years.

Box 2187 Vero Beach, Fla. 32960 Re: East 10 acres of West 20 acres Tract 9, Sec. 28-32-39 Dear Mr. Sexton: You will recall that at the May 29th Public Hearing relative to the County Wide Land Use Plan, I voiced objections to the above mentioned property, presently zoned Industrial, being designated R 1 (locating map attached). Because this property adjoins County property, which remains unchanged in the in- dustrial category, and for further reasons which were voiced by me at the Hearing, I feel it only fair that my property recej.ve preatment equal to the County property. While I t+as impressed by the fact that several parties in authority indicated that the Land Use Plan is intended to be "not ultimately definitive" I was also impressed by the fact that both the 'tHobart" and"Marshall Barnes" interests were apparently concerned enough about industrialtracts in which they -were involved that amendments to the plan were proposed, prior to'action thereon by the County Commissioners, which amendments were accepted and approved at the formal plan approval by the County Commissioners. Again I would like to say I feel it only fair that my property receive equal treat- ment. CSA/da 00: Alma Lee Loy Val. Brennan Enclosure Sincerely Yours, Com. s� Carl S.
