Assistant County Attorney William DeBraal displayed a map of the East Gifford
Watershed area. The amendment to the ordinance is to take out a piece of property that no longer
is a part of the watershed area.
The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard
regarding this matter. There being none, the Chairman closed the public hearing.

INDUSTRIAL PARK (80’ HEIGHT EXCEPTION TO SUNSET IF
NOT UTILIZED BY FEBRUARY 10, 2006) AMENDING SECTION
911.15(1) OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
(Legislative)
PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE
OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD
Planning Director Stan Boling said the proposed amendment would allow an increase in
building height to 80 feet for projects located only in industrially-zoned areas west of I-95 and in
parks of 100 acres or greater. On December 16, 2003 the Board directed staff to initiate a formal
LDR amendment for a limited height exception with a 2,000’ setback from I-95 and an increased
setback from SR 60. The Professional Services Advisory Committee met on January 15, 2004 and
recommended by a 5-0 vote approval of the ordinance with an alternative exception of reducing
the setback from I-95 to 1,000’ where the site is north or south of the elevated I-95 interchange
area. Staff and the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend keeping the 2,000’ setback which
is in the ordinance.
Mr. Boling continued his presentation using a sketch showing the proposed berm and tree
heights relative to the line of sight (copy on file). He handed out a list of past height exceptions to
the general rule existing in the county (copy on file) to show the characteristics of those
exceptions.
The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard with
regard to this matter.
th
Ella Johnson
, 2200 19 Avenue, Tropical Gardens, used a sketch showing the proposed
berm and tree heights relative to the line of sight to display the view from her home looking west at
February 10, 2004
9
the proposed 80’ building. She was concerned with the traffic and noise that will generate from
that building. She felt the Board would be setting a precedent by approving this ordinance. She
believes the white collar positions will be filled by people from outside the county which will
reduce the blue collar employment wages to $25,000 per year; not the $42,000 that is expected.
Jay Hart
, 2800 Indian River Boulevard, is President of the Indian River County
Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. He felt we need this ordinance passed to land a
Fortune 100 Company.
Renee Renzi,
340 A Waverly Place, is totally opposed to breaking the height ordinance.
At the Economic Development meeting, Penny Chandler, President of the Vero Beach Area
Chamber of Commerce referred to a specific company that they hoped would come into the
county. Renee said if the Board approved the height exception she hoped it is later scaled back
should this company decide not to build here.
Lisa Holland Smith,
Business Service Manager for the Workforce Development Board
of the Treasure Coast, is in support of high-end, high-tech jobs and she is very impressed with
what the Chamber has done and supports their efforts in this regard.
Penny Chandler,
President of the Vero Beach Area Chamber of Commerce, said she
believes it is the right decision to approve this proposal for the area west of I-95.
Brian Heady
, Vero Beach, spoke in opposition to this ordinance and felt that the Board
would be setting a negative precedent.
th
Dr. Richard Baker
, PhD., 10305 130 Avenue, President of the Pelican Island
Audubon Society, Inc., said one of his concerns is the Professional Services Advisory Committee
does not have a representative from the environmental community to voice an opinion at the
February 10, 2004
10
meetings. He understands that the tree ordinance is not working as expected because the trees are
being leveled. These are important issues that need to be corrected before they make an exception
to the height limitation.
George Christopher
, 945 Painted Bunting Lane, is President of his neighborhood
association. He said this ordinance appears to be a blank check to developers. He urged the Board
to vote “no” on this ordinance.
th
Alan Wittick
, 9685 26 Street, said the Board should consider modifying the proposal,
doubling the height of the berm, and doubling the setback. He felt working together they can find
a better plan.
Helene Caseltine,
Economic Development Director, Indian River County Chamber of
Commerce, said they require a business to hire county residents, but they can encourage them.
This Fortune 100 company is expanding, not relocating and they would prefer hiring locally. Her
department will do everything that they can to encourage good paying year-round jobs with
benefits.
James Kretsch,
3039 Golf View Drive, Chairman of the Economic Development
Committee, said at the last meeting the EDC members voted unanimously to accept the LDR
changes and encouraged the Board to do so.
th
Dee Brown
, 22100 98 Avenue, has been opposed to this a long time. She wanted to
know what the hours of operation of this business would be and inquired if they can include a
sunset restriction on the ordinance.
Community Development Director Robert Keatingsaid that this proposal is to amend the
LDRs. It is not discussing any particular business or specific site. They do not know the
company’s name or the hours of operation. They do know it is a distribution center. The plan for
February 10, 2004
11
the industrial park will be on the agenda at the next meeting. They will be discussing then the
drainage and other specifics to the park itself.
Dee Brown
was upset to hear that she was not only going to have lights shining all night,
but continuous truck traffic as well. She asked for an explanation of the modifications that will be
made to the access to the industrial park.
th
Director Keating said that 98 Avenue will be realigned so it aligns south of SR-60. It
will make it easier for the residents to go east. There will be three accesses total, and only one they
will be sharing with the park.
John Williams
, 1535 Smugglers Cove, said it was obvious that the Board is trying to
come as close to contract zoning as is legal. He asked that the proposal be modified to specific
areas.
Mary Silva
, 915 Tulip Lane, pointed out some corrections and misconceptions that have
been made regarding labor. She wanted to help educate the Board in order to make an intelligent
decision. A lot of employers come to her seeking skilled and experienced local residents to fill
their positions.
Anthony Donadio,
1655 E. Rose Court, supported this request and felt that we need
flexibility not to lose businesses interested in coming into the county.
Gary Wheeler,
3302 63rd Terrace, said he has lived here 32 years, and he does not
support this request. He said we should not change our standards to justify economic
development. He believes we can draw businesses without extending our height limitations.
Bruce Barkett
, 756 Beachland Boulevard, said industrial development is important to
the community. This ordinance would apply to industrial parks west of I-95 or planned
developments of more than 100 acres in size. Right now there is only one site that large.
February 10, 2004
12
Anything else would have to be approved by the Board. He said the county has been inactive for
years and it is important to make provisions to allow industry like this to come into the county.
Bill Mills
from the Real Estate Management Group is handling the industrial park on the
south side of SR-60. He felt it is unfair to single out just one developer, change the code, and not
give the same concessions to other developers. If they approve anything it should be done equally.
Charles Sullivan Jr.,
one of the principals in MOTO, Inc., stated they are in the process
of obtaining final plat approval for their industrial park on the south side of SR-60 directly across
from this 100 acre park. It would be reasonable and fair to receive the same opportunity that the
100 acre park would have to attract businesses. If they could comply with the same setbacks and
the same desire to preserve the visual integrity, then there is no reason why their park could not
accommodate the height limitations.
Chairman Ginn told Mr. Sullivan that he is reinforcing some issues that have been
brought up today.
Jackie James,
In response to a question by Director Keating explained that this is county
property and it would not apply to residents living in the cities.
th
Tim Zork,
4415 5 Place SW, asked the audience to flash back 8 years when they had an
unknown applicant requesting to modify a particular LDR because of a potential client. Later it
became known that it was Disney bringing a vacation property to the beach. Subsequent to that
there was an outlandish cry from the public. He felt although they are unknown to the public they
could bring a good and positive outcome to the community.
nd
Alice Rowe,
925 32 Avenue, Vero Beach, said the residents she has talked to are very
upset with the development that they are seeing. They cannot attend the meetings to express their
opinion because they are working.
February 10, 2004
13
th
Robert Johnson,
535 39 Court SW, asked if this ordinance was going to be applicable
to the industrial park on the west side of Oslo Road and Director Boling responded “no”. It could
be a future issue, but it is not currently.
th
Bea Gardener,
4480 25 Lane, felt they should go back to the drawing board and go
with tax abatements to encourage businesses to come here instead of higher buildings.
Chairman Ginn and Commissioner Adams both recalled that the tax abatement issue had
failed in the past and they did not think it would be worth bringing up again.
Frank Coffey
, 1200 Admirals Walk, said the question is what kind of development do
we want. The people of this county are the ones that have to live with these decisions and they
have to decide what they want this county to look like. He believes we must encourage good
businesses with good wages to help this county.
George Watson,
150 McKee Lane, spoke in favor of the ordinance explaining that we
are only trying to make ourselves competitive with other counties in the State of Florida.
The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard regarding this matter. There being
none, the Chairman closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Adams said she did not think it was a problem having the building close to
I-95 because the drivers are passing by at 80 mph and not looking at it for any length of time. We
th
have already been in the business of removing oak trees and obviously the canal bank along 98
Avenue would have been a good place to put the trees to help obscure the line of sight to the top of
the building. We are at the crossroads and somehow we have to marry the idea that we want
economic development with the realization of what it is. We have said consistently over the past
February 10, 2004
14
12 years we want clean industry, high paying jobs, etc. We have not found a lot of businesses that
are looking to come here. She asked if we have the ability to remove the height exception without
a problem should the business never build.
Attorney Collins said that a clause could be added saying that the west county industrial
park height exception will sunset and stand repealed if not utilized by a certain date, unless
readopted by an ordinance. or leave it as it is. He advised it is better to have a sunset clause to stay
away from the Bert Harris Private Property Act issues.
Commissioner Macht added that this is a planned development park that the Board has
total control over. It can be repealed at anytime.
Director Boling clarified that this ordinance amends the building height exception up to
80 feet. When they get to the planned development they can be more specific.
Commissioner Macht understood there are legitimate concerns that the height exception
accommodates a particular industry. He said it was carefully crafted for a developer who needed
it. To eliminate concerns, he suggested having a referendum that states any extension beyond the
35’ for human occupancy would have to be approved by the voters, not the Commissioners. He
related that he perceives the quality of life in our county as being number one in disparity of
income in the State of Florida which stems mostly from our economy. We need good jobs and a
temporary sight of a building or a tiny intrusion over the sight line is not a reason to decline this
proposal.
Commissioner Adams said it appears that the building is about 402’ from the nearest
home. She felt doing some landscaping would greatly help the sight line by obscuring the
building, and that it is incumbent upon the Commissioners to try to give the public their yards and
th
their views. She would like to see landscaping along 98 Avenue and in the criteria for the
planned development.
There was an answer and question period concerning planned development issues that
will be covered at the next meeting.
February 10, 2004
15
Chairman Ginn was concerned about setting a precedent. She felt we need to get the
industrial park up and running and then the businesses will come. She complimented staff for the
exceptional presentation.
Commissioner Lowther said he ran his campaign trying to bring clean industry to Indian
River County and he believed we need to move forward.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lowther,
SECONDED by Commissioner Neuberger, to adopt
Ordinance 2004-005 with a provision to sunset the 80’
height exception if not utilized prior to February 10, 2006.
Discussion continued.
Chairman Ginn understood they were opening up to tractor trailers 24 hours a day at that
intersection. She appreciated Commissioner Macht’s arguments, but felt that human misery is
found across the social spectrum and she believes some people bring it on themselves. She firmly
believes if they put roads and sewer and water in the park, businesses will come to Indian River
County. She said that we do have economic development in the county, but it is hidden.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion
carried by a 4-1 vote (Chairman Ginn opposed). (The
Board adopted Ordinance 2004-005 regarding a West
County Industrial Park Height Exception amending Section
911.15(1) of the Land Development Regulations, allowing
portions of industrial and warehouse distribution buildings
to a height of up to 80 feet on sites located within large
industrial parks located west of I-95; and providing for
repeal of conflicting provisions, codification, severability
February 10, 2004

and effective date. \[The west county industrial park height
exception will sunset if not utilized by 2-10-06.\])
