ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD
Planning Director Stan Boling reviewed this request for abandonment of two segments of
th
46 Avenue and CR 510 in Wabasso for road widening purposes. He explained this abandonment
involved a swap with the developer, who owns property along CR 510, which could be abandoned
and become part of the development. He explained that the Bristol Bay project has been approved
as a mixed-use project, mostly residential, but there is a final site plan for a residential project and
site plan conceptually that is laid out for the Commercial portion. He pointed out that Bristol Bay
is putting in a road that will parallel Sunrise Avenue and a new roadway to CR 510. The ultimate
th
improvement of the area involves new access to County Road 510 at 85 Street.
Community Development Director Bob Keating reported that Mr. Miller, who owns
multi-family property in this area, had expressed concerns and staff would be addressing them.
Director Keating recommended approval with conditions that they retain a drainage utility
easement in the right-of-way areas, which leads to a traffic improvement.
The Chairman opened the public hearing.
Dennis Cork,
Esq., representing Bill Miller, said his client’s concern was that his access to
Attorney Cork
CR 510 would be diminished. related part of Mr. Miller’s concern was that he
lives on a corner lot, and he is afraid the abandonment would take away his visibility someday
Mr. Cork
when it becomes commercial property. Because had not seen the final plan, he stated
that he was not sure how his client’s access would be affected, and that it was premature to go
ahead and vacate that road.
October 24, 2006
36
Commissioner Wheeler agreed that it was premature at this point. He commented that he
would like to see interconnectivity between Mr. Miller’s site and the commercial property.
Discussion ensued by Commissioner Wheeler and staff regarding why the abandonment
was not moved down to the next block.
David Knight,
Knight, McGuire and Associates, Project Engineer for Bristol Bay, said
with the legal description they developed for the easement for public access, they anticipate a full
connection to CR 510 with a turning radius onto the new road that Bristol Bay is constructing onto
th
85Street.
Jerry Swanson,
P&S Properties, handed out a letter he received from Mr. Miller (copy on
file) asking him to give him an easement because of his concern of being eliminated from direct
Mr. Swanson
access to CR 510 from his property. agreed to give Mr. Miller an easement, but it
could not be done until they get their final site plan. Mr. Swanson found Mr. Miller very difficult
to deal with, although he tried to do everything he could to accommodate him. Mr. Swanson said
he would be very much opposed to postponing this item.
There were no additional speakers and the Chairman closed the public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Lowther, SECONDED by

Community Development Director Bob Keating announced that if anyone wished to speak
on these public hearing items, he asked that they give their name to Gale Carmoney, Senior
Planner, which is a requirement of the Department of Community Affairs (DCA). He gave a brief
overview of the Comprehensive Plan amendment process. Director Keating reviewed staff’s
memorandum and used a PowerPoint presentation detailing the purpose for this amendment which
is to provide the land use designation and zoning necessary to develop the property with residential
units at a density that is consistent with the land use plan densities of adjacent properties. Staff and
P&Z recommended approval by the Board.
The Chairman opened the public hearing.
Renee Renzi
, 301 Waverly Place, said the Board did not mention the overload in the
school population in that area. She felt the Board should hold off until they get the school situation
straightened out.
Director Bob Keating stated that the school concurrency laws were put on the books in
2005, but they do not become effective until 2008. At this time he advised they cannot deny
development based on the lack of school facilities.
October 24, 2006
39
David Cox
wanted the Board to be aware that all tributaries that reach the South prong of
the St. Sebastian River have been important in supporting a range of threatened and endangered
fish species that have bred that far up, even into agricultural ditches. They have worked with one
of the developer nearby in an effort to try to preserve those tributaries, which all have great
environmental significance, and it seems they are losing one after the other.
Dr. Richard Baker
, President of the Audubon Society, agreed with Mr. Cox, and he stated
this is not the direction to take. He remarked that the more density that is put in, the more difficult
it becomes. He commented that he would like to see us protect the Sebastian Tributary and going
this route is not the way to do it.
Bruce Barkett
, Esq., representing the applicant, said they do not have any problem with
the site plan concerns that were raised. He told the Board his client was going to go forward with
the PD against his recommendation.
th
Mark Brackett, 1915 34 Avenue,
represented the CR 510 group, that is the Blue Water
Bay development at the southern portion of this property told the Board the Group is not opposed
to rezoning the property to RS-3. “They would like to see the Board move forward with the
rezoning, and see the roads get built,” he related.
There were no additional speakers and the Chairman closed the public hearing.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED
by Commissioner Bowden, to deny this request.
October 24, 2006
40
Discussion continued and Commissioner Davis stated he was concerned that the
surrounding property owners may try to put forth some connectivity on the road, and find that
there is no right-of-way in place. He would like to put in infrastructure “as growth” occurs or
“even ahead of growth, if at all possible.”
Bruce Barkett
advised that the time to do that is at the site plan approval.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and the Motion
carried; by a 4-1 vote (Commissioner Neuberger opposed) the
Board denied Double R&D Inc.’s request to amend the
Comprehensive Plan to redesignate the subject property from R,
Rural Residential to L-1, Low-Density Residential-1, and to
rezone the site from A-1, Agricultural, to RS-3, Single Family
Residential.
The Chairman called for a brief recess at 10:21 a.m. and he reconvened the meeting at
10:35 a.m. with all members present.
, Bruce Moyer,
After the recess MGB Engineering, respectfully requested that the last item
be reconsidered. After talking to his client, he reported that they definitely wanted to dedicate the
right-of-way and they hoped they could discuss the appropriateness of this matter.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Davis,
SECONDED by Commissioner Bowden, for discussion, to
reconsider this request.
Attorney Collins advised the Board since this item had to be submitted to the DCA during
the submittal window, he thought this was the best time to reconsider this action.
October 24, 2006
41
Commissioner Davis would not support the Comprehensive Plan change unless he was
confident from staff that acquisition of this property would enable provisions for connectivity at
the north end of the County.
Bruce Barkett
Discussion ensued and advised they would deliver the deed to escrow as
soon as they get a legal description, and they would work out the terms with the County Attorney.
The Chairman reopened the public hearing. There were no additional speakers and the
Chairman closed the public hearing.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and the Motion
carried, 3-2 (Commissioner Wheeler and Bowden opposed). The
Resolution 2006-166
Board approved amending the future land
use map by changing the land use designation for approximately
th
40.23 acres located west of 86 Avenue and south and east of the
City of Sebastian City limits from R, Rural Residential (up to 1
unit/acre), to L-1, Low Density Residential-1 (up to 3 units/acre);
and providing codification, severability, and effective date.
The Board additionally approved to have the deed delivered into
escrow, and to have the County Attorney work out any additional
terms with Double R&D, Inc.

Community Development Director Bob Keating used a PowerPoint Presentation (copy on
file) to present the County’s request on behalf of St. John’s River Water Management District
(SJRWMD) to redesignate ±3,088 acres from C-1 Conservation-1, to its previous designation of
AG-2, and to rezone from Con-1 on the land use map, to its previous zoning district of A-2. The
P&Z Commission recommended, by a 4-1 vote, that the Board approve submittal to the
Department of Community Affairs. He addressed a concern that this property serves as an
impediment to the City of Fellsmere to annex to the south and expand further. He also mentioned
that the C-1 land use designation applies only to publicly owned conservation, and that staff
consider this as a swap of land between St. Johns River Water Management District and private
property owners.
Director Robert Christenson,
SJRWMD, displayed maps and gave a brief overview of
what SJRWMD’s basic goals are: He explained the conditions that apply to the land
purchase/exchange agreements they entered into with private property owners and the conditions
of the agreements.
The Board posed questions to Mr. Christenson regarding this project.
Joseph Paladin,
Chairman of the Growth Awareness Committee, had questions regarding
annexation by the County and the City of Fellsmere.
October 24, 2006
43
Attorney Collins
clarified that Cities annex property, not the County, and it has to be
contiguous to a municipality.
Discussion ensued regarding annexation.
Dr. Richard Baker
displayed a map that SJRWMD presented at the Land Advisory
Acquisition Committee (LAAC) showing the area under SJRWMD, and the property owned by
the City of Fellsmere. He felt this was more important than moving the urban service area line
because this project may determine whether the urban service area could be moved later. He
believed there needs to be more dialogue between SJRWMD and the County. He saw Brevard
County benefiting from this project, and he believed this water definitely needed to be saved for
the County.
Discussion ensued.
David Cox
said he would like to encourage SJRWMD and the Indian River Lagoon North
County Feasibility Study to consider restoring the west prong of the Sebastian River to what it was
before.
th
Al Baldwin
, 4740 47 Court, Vero Beach, questioned why a matter of this importance
never had a workshop.
Discussion continued.
Peter O’Bryan,
County Commissioner Candidate for District 4, was concerned the County
was giving up a limited type of environmental land to acquire more fresh water. He felt they are
losing diversity and important habitat in that ten-mile area. He shared Commissioner Bowden’s
concern regarding where the water was going to be distributed. He was very concerned why
October 24, 2006
44
SJRWMD already had a backup clause, and he wanted to see a written guarantee as to how much
to that water stays in Indian River County.
Mr. Christenson
responded to questions regarding conservation value of what exists and
what will be created. He was willing to work with the County in workshops to identify the needs
and concerns and be their partner.
Discussion continued and the Commissioners asked for additional information.
Adriene Cuffe,
695 43rd Avenue, wanted to know what rights would be available to the
private owner if the project was not completed.
John Baker
advocated in favor of this proposal.
Ital Veron
, 280 S. Peppertree Drive, spoke in opposition to this request. He suggested,
based on the knowledge of the questions brought forward, that the Board not have a knee-jerk
reaction.
Bea Gardner
was not in favor of the Board approving this item.
nd
Amy Thelma,
1910 82 Avenue, told the Board it is their responsibility to communicate
with SJRWMD, and to find out what is going on, and determine if a workshop is necessary.
Discussion ensued regarding the rights of the property owners after the rezoning.
Karen Swanson
, 1048 E. Boulevard, said she could support staff and SJRWMD.
October 24, 2006
45
th
Jens Tripson,
2525 14 Street, thought the County should start planning to drink potable
water in the North County Marsh area. “The idea sounds good if we use some of that water for
citizens,” he said.
Robert Johnson
, Coral Wind Subdivision, spoke in favor of the workshop.
Judy Orcutt
felt the property should be acquired under the Land Acquisition Funding so it
could stay zoned as Conservation.
George Christophe,
member of P&Z,inquired if the County has a written commitment
from SJRWMD to turn that land into a Conservation area. Upon hearing the response from staff,
he urged the County to table this item and hold a workshop.
Donna Keys
, Chairman of P&Z, stated that she was compelled to vote in favor of this item
at the P&Z meeting.
There were no additional speakers and the Chairman closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Davis did not want to table this item. He was concerned if the Board does
not get the answers needed this item could be defeated. He also was concerned with the issues
regarding getting wells permitted, and believed this is an alternative supply that Indian River has to
have. He mentioned he would like to be added to the list of future areas of concern for water
supply in the next 20 years.
Administrator Baird recommended moving this forward, and scheduling a special agenda
workshop with several hours to work out the issues. He suggested that SJRWMD attend to meet
with staff and other interest groups.
Chairman Neuberger did not see it as a necessity at this time.
October 24, 2006
46
Vice Chairman Wheeler disagreed.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED
by Commissioner Lowther, to move ahead and hold a Special
Agenda Workshop to workout the issues with SJRWMD, staff and
other interest groups.
Commissioner Bowden recommended that a date be scheduled.
Administrator Baird replied he would come back at the next meeting with a date.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion carried
unanimously. The Board approved Resolution 2006-167
approving the transmittal of a proposed County Comprehensive
Plan Future Land Use Map Amendment to the State of Florida
Department of Community Affairs, and approved directing the
County Administrator to bring back to the Board a date for their
approval to hold a Special Agenda Workshop to work out the
issues addressed at this public hearing with SJRWMD, Staff, and
other interest groups.
The Chairman called for a recess at 12:45 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 12:58 p.m.

THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD
Community Development Director Bob Keating disclosed that this Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Amendment, at the request of Quail Ridge of Vero Beach, changes the text to
Policy 5.8. He used a PowerPoint presentation (copy on file) to review the proposed amendment
to Future Land Use Element (FLUE) 5.8, and read the amended policy 5.8 as revised by the
Planning and Zoning Committee. Another alternative he presented to the Board was the
applicant’s proposed amended policy 5.8 (copy on file) that was handed out at this hearing.
October 24, 2006
48
Director Keating informed the Board that staff did not support this request because it does not meet
any of the Comprehensive Plan’s criteria to warrant a text amendment, the request would
undermine the purposes of the FLUE policies that would be amended, and it is in conflict with the
Committee for a Sustainable Treasure Coast report. He concluded with staff’s recommendation to
retain the current FLUE Land Use Element Policy 5.8, add the Best Management Practices, add
perpetuity language and recommended approval of the Resolution to transmit the amended FLUE
Policy 5.8 to DCA for review.
There were questions posed by the Board to Director Keating regarding this item.
The Chairman opened the public hearing.
Joseph Paladin
, President of Atlantic Coast Construction, advised he is a principal in the
Quail Ridge of Vero Beach PD, and he addressed the proposed changes to the Comprehensive
Plan. He spoke of conflicting theories on “open space” and told the Board his goal is “not to ever”
change the urban service line. He commented on the recommendations made by the Planning &
Zoning Commission, which is just the opposite of Policy 5.8 as it is now, stating that he was under
the impression that P&Z was very receptive to this project.
Dave Knight
Engineer, Knight, McGuire and Associates and Engineer of the Quail Ridge
PD, explained that their intent was to permanently preserve low density in an agriculture PD. He
outlined their version of Policy 5.8 that he proposed after reviewing the packet for this meeting. In
conclusion, he said they are looking for flexibility.
th
Al Baldwin
, 4040 47 Court, felt the Board would be setting precedence by approving this
item. He felt it will affect the whole County, and he wondered if it needed more time and a public
workshop.
October 24, 2006
49
Discussion ensued and the Commissioners commented on the issues Mr. Baldwin
addressed.
Ital Veron
, 280 S. Peppertree Drive, a member of the Indian River Neighborhood
Association, believed one of the County’s greatest concerns would be the water supply.
rd
Greg Schlitz
, 6425 53 Street, failed to see the negatives of this proposal and he urged the
Board to consider revising the requirements.
Rob Lindsey
, representing the Lindsey and Kromhout families, read a letter written by
Lex Krumhout (copy on file) that disputed the language and provisions recommended by staff. In
his opinion staff’s provisions countermanded the Planning and Zoning Commission’s actions with
regard to agricultural planned development. He asked the Board to review and reject those
provisions.
Country Simmons,
Simmons Construction, advocated in support of this item.
Adriene Cuffe, 695 43rd Avenue
, advocated in support of this item.
nd
Amy Thelma,
Engineer1910 82 Avenue, felt this development was definitely necessary
and a great first step to getting some new ideas in the community.
Ken Grudens,
931 Starflower Avenue, Sebastian, Executive Director of the Indian River
Land Trust,statedthe Land Trust’s desires to see opportunities allowing projects to be separated,
so the community could tell what the overall picture would be like. He spoke of an opportunity
for the Land Trust to be involved in holdings and perpetuity, and he would like to talk about at a
later time.
October 24, 2006
50
David Cox
discussed clustering and BMPs. He supported the amendment.
Donna Keys
, Chairman of the P&Z Committee, reviewed the recommendations, line per
line by the applicant, P&Z, and staff, stating that they could compromise the issues such as having
no minimum lot size, and guarantee a certain amount of open space.
Steve Smith, ,
Developer of Quail Ridge agreed with Ms. Keys. Under the existing rules,
he found it literally impossible to design something attractive for the next 40-50 years for Indian
River County that led to this request.
John Baker,
Agent for Mr. Kromhout, felt they needed to have as much flexibility as
possible. He would like to see 3 1/2 acres taken out of the policy. He agreed with Mr. Paladin
regarding not moving the Urban Service Area line. He hoped the Board comes as close to the
conditions that the P&Z recommended as they can.
Jens Tripson
encouraged the Board to fine-tune some of the details and move forward
with this item.
The Chairman called for a recess at 3:18 p.m. and he reconvened the meeting at 3:28 p.m.
with all members present.
There were no additional speakers and the Chairman closed the public hearing.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lowther, SECONDED
by Commissioner Davis, to approve the applicants proposed
revised Policy 5.8, eliminating 3.5 acres, and to approve the
transmittal of the Resolution to DCA for review.
October 24, 2006
51
Discussion ensued by the Board regarding additional changes to be included in the revised
Policy.
MOTION WAS AMENDED by Commissioner Lowther,
SECONDED by Commissioner Davis, to approve the applicant’s
revised Policy 5.8 with the following: (1) omitting 3.5 acres in
paragraph 2, line 2; (2) changing the word “held” to “created” in
paragraph 3, line 4; and (3) adding “with infill prohibited” to
paragraph 3, line 4.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the Amended
Resolution
Motion carried unanimously. The Board approved
2006-169
approvingthe transmittal of a proposed Indian River
County Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the text of the Future
Land Use Element to the State of Florida Department of
Community Affairs.
The Board also approved to include the following changes to
Policy 5.8: the omission of 3.5 acres in paragraph 2, line 2;
amending paragraph 3, line 4 to read as follows: easement(s), to be
created in Deed Restrictions with (residential) infill prohibited.
Commissioner Bowden stated for the record that the Board needed to work out the
following concerns in the LDRs: golf courses, water, and drought.

suggested establishing a form for those speakers to fill out defining their discussion.

Richard E. Torpy,
202 N. Harbor City, Melbourne, pointed out that the Lakes at Sand
Ridge Subdivision received its Certificate of Completion prior to the adoption of Ordinance
2006-007 that set new maintenance requirements (Bonding). He came to ask the Board that Phase
I be excused from those requirements, and to work out the details of Phase II later.
Attorney Collins responded that it is unfair to apply a three-year bonding requirement to a
project that was already in the process, and should the Board approve this request only two other
projects would be affected by their decision.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Davis, SECONDED by
Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved to
release the Bond in the amount of $135, 387.50 for Phase 1 of the
October 24, 2006

Lakes at Sand Ridge based on the old Ordinance, upon final

Scott Dillon
asked for an extension beyond December 17, 2006 to the condemnation of
st
2933 1 Court SE. He said he needs an additional 60-days to complete the renovation.
Attorney Collins disclosed that under the “house moving” permit they have a year to get
everything finalized. In August, the Building Department determined that the house was
uninhabitable and it appeared unsafe. Rather than wait a year, the Building Department decided to
be proactive, and started the Notice period a couple months prior to the year expiring.
Chairman Neuberger asked Director of Building James “Buddy” Akins to do another
inspection on December 17, 2006.
nd
Catherine Thomas,
2109 SE 2 Avenue designated spokesman for the homeowners,
suggested that the house be torn down now. She read a letter from the homeowners stating that
they waited a year to ask the Board to not let them continue this rebuilding.
Bob Hamner
, Scott Dillon’s partner, described the events that took place causing their
delay in completing the renovations.
Chairman Neuberger stressed that they need to get it done.
October 24, 2006

Buddy Akins
described the interior and exterior condition of the house (pictures on file).
He would not say it could not be fixed, but he believed completion was a long way off.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lowther, for the
condemnation to stay in place. Motion DIED for lack of a
SECOND.
Chairman Neuberger commented that he would like to give Mr. Dillon another 30 days.
nd
Danny Moore,
2103 2 Avenue SE, spoke in opposition to any extension.
st
Elizabeth Rimes
, 2174 1 Avenue SE, advocated against an extension.
Discussion ensued regarding the unsafe condition of the house, and whether it could
feasibly be completed by December 17, 2006.
Buddy Akins
reported it is not built according to the plans of the architect, and he affirmed
it will not be safe.
Chairman Neuberger asked if anybody wanted to Motion for an extension.
Discussion continued and Mr. Dillon argued the safety of this house.
Chairman Neuberger did not hear a Motion for extension and he ended the discussion.

contractor as discussed at the previous meeting.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Davis, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bowden, the Board unanimously awarded Bid
#2007007 Mowing at the Two Water Treatment Plants to Mike’s
Lawn and Landscape in the amount of $13,200.00, as the lowest

specifications as set forth in the Invitation to Bid; authorized the
Purchasing Division to issue blanket purchase orders or individual
job purchase orders, as needed, for the period of October 1, 2006
through September 30, 2007 with the recommended bidder;
authorized the Purchasing Manager to renew this bid for two (2)
additional one (1) year periods subject to satisfactory

Chairman Neuberger announced he was approached by Ernestine Williams who asked for
an extension, because she wanted to do her own demolition at her own expense.
There was a CONSENSUS to grant Ernestine Williams 60-days to remove her structure at
her own expense, but to remain on the list as the County goes through the bid process.

LIMITED PARTNERSHIP V. INDIAN RIVER COUNTY
Attorney Collins reviewed his memorandum of October 4, 2006 recommending settlement
of the lawsuit by payment of $143,100 ($10 per square foot) to the property owners in exchange
th
for a deed for title to the property taken during the road improvements to 8 Place.
Administrator Baird recommended they “tear” the road out.
Attorney Collins argued that other people may benefit from the use of the road if they were
th
driving East to 6 Avenue instead of to US 1. He thought we could still have exposure for
damages even if we tore the road out, because for whatever time the road has been there we have
been occupying this property. He advised that the County would have to pay the property owner
for that use, and would have to pay their attorney fees.
Chairman Neuberger wondered how we ever built on somebody’s property.
October 24, 2006
64
Attorney Collins explained that the Public Works Department was engaged in negotiations
to acquire the property, but it never resulted in a deed, and they received grant money from
SJRWMD and probably did not want to lose the grant money.
Public Works Director Jim Davis described his discussions with Charles Sullivan in 2004,
whereby he explained to Mr. Sullivan that SJRWMD has given grants to the County and that the
County needed additional right of way (about 70 feet). Mr. Sullivan at the time indicated he did
not see a problem. Mr. Sullivan asked for connection to the road, and also if he could get drainage
to his site, so that he could use it.
Discussion ensued.
Attorney Collins talked to staff weeks before this became an agenda item. He did not want
the road taken out.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Lowther, SECONDED by
Commissioner Neuberger, by a 3-2 vote, Commissioners Bowden
and Wheeler opposed, the Board approved County Attorney’s
recommendation, settlement of the lawsuit by payment of
$143,100.00 to the property owners in exchange for a deed for title
