DEVELOPMENT SPECIAL EXCEPTION USE APPROVAL –
SUNLAND DEVELOPMENT, INC. – KNIGHT, MCGUIRE &
ASSOCIATES, INC. (Legislative)
PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE
OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD
Community Development Director Robert Keating used a PowerPoint presentation
(copy on file) to display the Planned Development process for the South County Initiative. Echo
Lake is one of seven development projects and is requesting a Special Exception Use approval to
obtain waivers in lot size, lot width, and setbacks in return for dedication of an improved 10.2 acre
JUNE 22, 2004

park site, greater perimeter setbacks and buffers, on–site recreation amenities, tree preservation
st
and on-site relocation, right-of-way dedication for 21 Street SW, right-of-way dedication and
construction of a local north-south roadway, and stormwater treatment for the park site. Director
Keating reviewed these items in detail. He recommended the Board grant Special Exception Use
and Planned Development approval with all conditions itemized in the backup.
There was a brief question and answer period by the Commissioners to Director
Keating regarding clarification of some of the recommendations and dedications.
The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard
regarding this matter.
th
Richard Sneed,
Attorney 1905 South 25 Street, Ft. Pierce, is a landowner in the
vicinity of this project and he requested that anybody who is testifying be sworn in. He was trying
to make a record for court purposes and posed several questions to Director Keating regarding
traffic concurrency and water, sewer and stormwater runoff.
Director Keating replied to Attorney Sneed’s questions that he could answer and
that which he could not he referred to utilities.
Chairman Ginn questioned if Attorney Sneed’s interrogation of staff was proper
form since he was not addressing the Board.
Attorney Collins explained that Mr. Sneed was trying to make a record to take
before a court and he is entitled to cross-examine any witnesses that appear before the Board.
The Clerk administered the oath to all those who intended to speak on this item.
nd
Shawn Smith
, 2169 42 Court S.W, representing several neighbors spoke in favor
of the Echo Lake project, but he was concerned for the safety of the children, the wildlife that live
in the palm hammock that is being removed, townhomes bringing crime, and adding another park.
JUNE 22, 2004
9
Brian Heady
, Vero Beach, felt residents should be able to buy a home expecting
the government not to come in and change the zoning in that community. He said it is important
before they make changes to existing zones that they look at capacity. He was concerned with the
impact to the lagoon from the stormwater runoff and the cost being carried by the existing
taxpayers. He asked to see figures relating to water and sewer capacity and Chairman Ginn told
him that she had that information in her office and that she would provide that to him after the
meeting.
Administrator Baird did have some figures regarding capacity but he did not have
the information concerning usage.
Attorney Collins explained the process for determining the need for expansion of
water supply facilities.
Commissioner Adams added that the process is mandated by the Comp Plan and
the Comp Plan is mandated by the State.
th
Dian George,
1515 27 Avenue, questioned the purpose of having a Growth Task
Force when staff waives already existing requirements. She used as an example for the Board the
th
situation at the end of 39 Avenue but she did not go into detail. She sniped, “with all the waivers,
who gets the Porsché?”
th
Robert Johnson,
535 39 Court SW, spoke of the one-year requirement for PD
plans to be resubmitted if construction has not begun and he stated he learned that requirement
rd
only pertains to rezoning. He wanted to hear what road improvements are planned west of 43
thth
Avenue for 13 Street to 17 Street which allows traffic to bypass the Indian River Mall. He
rd
thought everyone knew that west of 43 Avenue was the FEMA flood plain and he wondered why
no one showed concern for improving this area. He felt through the PD process the developers
rd
received waivers and he did not see the taxpayers who reside on 43 Avenue receiving any
assistance.
JUNE 22, 2004
10
John Williams
, 1535 Smugglers Cove, said it was refreshing to hear Director
Keating refer to the South County Initiative. He believes that the impact of traffic from all seven
projects should be reviewed and approved as a whole rather than individually. He wanted to know
if under home rule or charter government it is possible that a referendum by the people could say
that concurrency has to be in place before approvals are given.
Attorney Collins responded to his question saying that the State has rules in place
but the County’s rules are more stringent than the State and charter government rules could be
more stringent than the County’s.
Mr. Williams
thought the taxpayers are reaching a point where they do not trust
the Commission in this County and that is another reason for charter government; so the citizens
could control their own destiny.
st
Annette Karnatz
, 4125 21 Street SW, had several technical questions regarding
location of sidewalks, provisions for driveways, culverts, provisions for the sand hill cranes, and
whether County water will be available.
Director Keating explained procedures for those items impacted by the
improvements.
Scott McGuire
, Knight, McGuire and Associates, 80 Royal Palm Pointe stated
st
there will be a water main constructed on 21 Street with appropriate fire hydrants and residents
could apply to the County to be connected to the water main. He explained that the dedications
and improvements for this project are more significant and costly than normally required, and
therefore they are asking for relief in the zoning criteria. He cleared up a couple of questions
regarding the right-of-way and the thoroughfare roads. He said he did not see traffic being a
problem and asked that Recommendation 4.D be shifted to Phase II of the project.
JUNE 22, 2004
11
rd
Adriene Cuffe,
645 43 Avenue, wanted to answer Mr. Williams’ question and
read parts of Florida Statute 163 and Rule 9J.5 regarding local Comp Plans.
Ron Hyman,
President of Sunland Development, Inc., 6823 Vista Parkway North,
West Palm Beach, cleared up a technical issue addressing the whole concept of concurrency. He
gave an explanation of the approval and permitting process and lectured on growth and population.
He stated he was seeking some variances and not diversifying from 3 units per acre and he hoped
the Board would give him some consideration.
Richard Sneed
Attorney posed several questions to Mr. Hyman regarding Sunland
Development’s contractual agreement with the developer Lennar Homes.
Mr. Hyman
responded they do have a contractual agreement with the developer
and said his company does intend to sell the project to the developer.
Attorney Sneed
asked whether the developer would be denied their property rights
to build if they do not get their waivers.
Mr. Hyman
said the question was too speculative to answer.
There was a discussion regarding letting Attorney Sneed proceed with his own
agenda and Attorney Collins advised the Board to allow Attorney Sneed to continue with his line
of questioning to avoid any legal ramifications.
Attorney Sneed
continued to pose questions to Mr. Hyman and Mr. Hyman
responded accordingly.
The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard with regard to this matter.
There being none, the Chairman closed the public hearing.
JUNE 22, 2004
12
Discussion continued regarding the proposed roadways to be paved.
Chairman Ginn said she could not support this issue unless she had some assurance
that the roads are being paved.
In response to Attorney Collins’ inquiry, Director Keating stated that staff has no
problem with moving Recommendation 4.D. to Phase II of the project.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Neuberger,
SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, by a 4-1 vote,
Chairman Ginn opposed, the Board unanimously
adopted staff’s recommendation as set forth in the
memorandum of June 15, 2004 and as amended
(moving Recommendation 4.D. to Phase II of the
project).
(CLERK’S NOTE: The Chairman called for a short recess at 10:48 a.m. and reconvened the
meeting at 10:59 a.m. with all members present.)

Community Development Director Bob Keating showed a graphic of the location
thth

JUNE 22, 2004
13
to secure the zoning necessary to develop the land. The Planning & Zoning Commission and staff
are recommending Board approval.
The Chairman opened the public hearing asking if anyone wished to be heard
regarding this matter.
th
Robert Johnson
inquired about the expansion plans for 66 Avenue and Director
Keating explained it is designated to be a four-lane arterial highway.
Brian Heady
, Vero Beach, posed the same questions that he had in the previous
matter regarding the availability of water, sewer and the provisions for stormwater runoff. He
wanted specific answers before the vote.
Chairman Ginn read a short paragraph regarding the North County Reverse
Osmosis Plant (copy in the backup) saying that there is sufficient capacity to accommodate
additional demands generated by the proposed rezoning. She told Mr. Heady that they do look into
all of these items and she asked him to be seated.
The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard regarding this matter. There
being none, the Chairman closed the public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED
by Commissioner Neuberger, the Board unanimously
adopted Ordinance 2004-018 amending the zoning
ordinance and the accompanying zoning map for
th
approximately 75.10 acres located east of 66 Avenue

9.A.3. PUBLIC HEARING – ORDINANCE 2004-019 –
IMPLEMENTING ARTICLE V COURT COST SHIFTS
BETWEEN THE STATE AND COUNTY (Legislative)
PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE
CLERK TO THE BOARD
Assistant County Attorney Marian E. Fell stated this Ordinance repeals parts of the
existing Chapter 305 of the County Code, updates the remaining parts of Chapter 305, imposes as
allowed by Article V Legislation a new $65 court cost, imposes a new $15 surcharge, reimposes
certain other costs to fund criminal justice education degree programs and training courses and
allocates the previously imposed costs for crime prevention programs, effective July 1, 2004
which is the effective date of Article V Legislation.
The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard
regarding this matter.
Robert Johnson’s
In response toinquiry regarding the impact on the County by
Article V, Administrator Baird replied that higher fees will have to be paid rather than increasing
ad valorem taxes.
Commissioner Macht pointed out the State has been required by Constitutional
Law to support the court systems for many years but this law has never been enforced.
Renee Renzi
, 301 Waverly Place, inquired if this will address the problem the
judges were concerned with regarding revenue shortages in the court systems.
Attorney Collins replied that the bill last year eliminated fees funding local court
programs, however, this year the Legislature recognized the shortfall and provided for certain
filing fees to be used to fund court programs that the judges were complaining had been cut.
JUNE 22, 2004
15
The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard regarding this matter. There
being none, the Chairman closed the public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED
by Commissioner Neuberger, the Board unanimously
adopted Ordinance 2004-019 concerning court costs;
providing findings; providing a title and citation;
repealing Parts I (General), II (Family Mediation and
Conciliation Services), IV (D.U.I. Impoundment and
Immobilization Trust Fund), and V (Teen Court Trust

River County; providing for limited continued funding
of existing programs under Chapter 305; amending
and restating the provisions of Parts III (Drug Abuse

305 providing for the imposition and the allocation of
additional court costs in criminal cases pursuant to

9.A.4. PUBLIC HEARING – PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO
CHAPTER 208 (REGARDING FIRE PROTECTION/FIRE
PREVENTION) AND ADOPTING FEES (Legislative)
Emergency Services Director John King said the proposed amendment to the
County Code places emphasis on meeting the State mandate of uniform fire protection and fire
prevention codes and is an effort to offset the cost of inspecting new construction of commercial,
institutional and multi-family facilities.
Dale Justice
Fire Prevention Bureau Chief used a PowerPoint presentation (copy
on file) to highlight the purpose of the Florida Fire Prevention Code and what it encompasses.
Chairman Ginn asked to continue this item to have time to review the Fire
Prevention Code.
Commissioner Adams inquired whether Director King wanted to implement the
st
Ordinance by July 1.
JUNE 22, 2004
17
Director King replied affirmatively. He explained the ordinance is aimed at placing
certain restrictions on the sale of fireworks, and the resolution adopts the fees for plan review and
code enforcement.
Chief Justice
In response to Chairman Ginn’s inquiry on fireworks gave a detailed
explanation of the two categories; fireworks are those that explode into the air and sparklers are
anything purchased off the shelf. The State mandates there will be no retail sales of fireworks for
safety reasons and it has given Commissioners statewide the ability to regulate the sale of
fireworks.
There was a question and answer period regarding open burning and air curtain
incinerators and Assistant County Attorney William DeBraal explained that the main changes
referencing open burning are updates to the Florida Administrative citations that have been
moved. The other change is that it is a violation to conduct open burning contrary to the limits of
the permit issued.
Discussion ensued regarding the fees and Administrator Baird pointed out that
there is no way that the fees would cover 100% of the cost. They are hiring two additional
employees and are looking to recoup some of the expense.
Commissioner Lowther suggested that they look at raising the fees if they are not
high enough to cover costs.
Commissioner Adams thought the fees were realistic because fees will never be
enough to cover salaries.
Chairman Ginn had other concerns regarding firewall requirements in multi-family
units. She wondered if there might be overlapping of responsibility between the building
department and the fire department.
JUNE 22, 2004
18
Administrator Baird assured her there is none.
The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard
regarding this matter.
Frank Coffey,
1200 Admirals Walk, Chairman of the Emergency Services
Advisory Committee said the Committee had a great deal of discussion regarding the need for
additional staff and the Committee supported the proposal.
C. N. Curry
, Roseland, supported the issue but was concerned with several areas
of the Ordinance particularly Chapter 208.10 (1), abatement of hazardous materials. He wanted
the Board to do a comparison with Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP)
requirements because currently they are monitoring it. He felt provisions regulating quantity
emission was necessary for some small businesses rather than overall regulation covering all
situations. Chapter 208.10 (3) he felt was redundant and provided no specifics or limitations. He
felt the sale of fireworks should be outside in a tent rather than enclosed in a building should any
fireworks break loose. He questioned whether the fee of $50 was for each test or per property and
Chief JusticeMr. Curry
replied it is a fee per trip. stated he has been an advocate of user fees in
many issues. In this case where fire prevention is a public issue, he felt it should be treated as an
overall public expense.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED
by Chairman Ginn, the Board unanimously continued
the public hearing to July 6, 2004.
(CLERK’S NOTE: Item 13.C. was heard prior to Item 9.B.1., but is placed chronologically in the
minutes for continuity purposes. At the conclusion of Item 13.C. Commissioner Adams left the
meeting to attend the FACo Conference in Hollywood, Florida.)

9.B.1. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM – BRIAN HEADY’S REQUEST
TO DISCUSS HOW CURRENT AND PAST ACTIONS OF
NEARBY COUNTIES ARE SIMILAR TO ACTIONS OF THE
ELECTED BODY ALL OF WHICH RELATE TO THE
QUALITY OF LIFE, THE TAX BURDEN, AND
EXPENDITURES OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY RESIDENTS
Brian Heady
, Vero Beach, referenced Article I, Section 5 of the Florida
Constitution that addresses the right of citizens to instruct their representatives and the Sunshine
Law that provides that meetings be noticed, open to the public and the public be allowed to attend
and speak. Rather than spending a ton of money to make a five-lane highway in a residential area
that the residents do not want, he asked the Board to have another meeting that will be properly
noticed, that the public will have the opportunity to attend, and he asked them to listen to the
rd
public, do their public duty and represent the majority of the public with regards to the 43 Avenue
widening.
NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN.

9.B.3. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM – ADRIENE CUFFE’S REQUEST
RD
TO DISCUSS 43 AVENUE WIDENING PROJECT
rdrd
Adriene Cuffe, 695 43 Avenue, supported 3-laning 43 Avenue and said the
rd
direction given by the Board on May 17 appeared clear to her to redesign 43 Avenue to three
lanes. She did not understand why staff needed clarification. She asked the Board to reconsider
their motions from May 17 and June 1 again. She was sending a copy of her speech to the Vero
Beach City Council, the Press Journal, Charles Gauthier, Florida Department of Community
Affairs, and Richard Grosso, Director, Environmental and Land Use Law Clinic and Association,
Nova Southeastern University (Copy was not furnished to the Clerk).
NO ACTION TAKEN OR REQUIRED.
9.B.4 PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM - DR. ROBERT NICHOLAS’
REQUEST TO DISCUSS NON-PERFORMANCE OF
DEVELOPER – CHASE MEADOWS, L.L.C.
Commissioner Adams stated for the record that Steve and Barbara Case Staples,
th
6555 35 Place, left the meeting before this item was heard but they wanted it to be known that
they supported the Oak Chase Homeowners Association’s request to require the developer to
follow through with its commitments.
CONSENSUS was to grant Dr. Nicholas additional
time to be heard beyond the 3-minute limit.
Dr. Robert Nicholas,
President of the Homeowners Association at Oak Chase PD,
provided a booklet to the Board that included his PowerPoint presentation (copy on file). He
presented 23 items of concern that covered stormwater management, quality issues, and
unfinished commitments by the developer. He brought a piece of asphalt to demonstrate the
reason behind some of the road problems, showing that it is too thin to meet County standards.
JUNE 22, 2004
21
Dr. Nicholas
hadpresented these issues to the Board before but only some of the problems have
been corrected. Carter Associates, Inc.’s engineer, John Blum, has signed off on the project and
the homeowners are seeking help from the Board.
Commissioner Macht suggested implementing a provision whereby the Board may
force the developer to follow through with their commitments. After holding joint meetings with
the developer, Mr. Chase, and the engineers at Carter Associates, Inc., the developer agreed to
clear up these problems but failed to follow through with his promises.
Chairman Ginn wanted to know how the Board could influence the developer and
she sought advice from Attorney Collins, who explained the Board has no leverage once the
certification is signed off. He said there is a one-year warranty period for public dedicated
improvements but not for private systems. Amending the LDRs to require a warranty for private
systems is something the Board could look into. In this case he thought it might be a civil matter
between the homeowners association and the developer.
Dr. Nicholas
said the Board needs to have control of the developer and suggested
prior to site plan approval that there be mandatory requirements to ensure that the developer
completes his commitments.
Brian Heady,
Vero Beach, thought the County should file a claim with the
developer’s insurance.
Dean Luethje,
When asked to comment a principal with Carter Associates, Inc.,
said he was not prepared to make a formal presentation. He thought there were several
circumstances that needed to be brought out but he needed time to look into the allegations. He did
comment that several of the items have been repaired, several are maintenance problems, and
several were not part of their contract. He agreed that there should be mandatory requirements for
the developers. This was the first time he saw asphalt that thin and he had no explanation. He
JUNE 22, 2004
22
supported John Blum describing him as a very good, conscientious engineer. He acknowledged
that the homeowners are upset and realized that the reputation of Carter Associates, Inc. is at stake.
Discussion ensued and it was mentioned that Chase Meadows, L.L.C. is developing
other PDs in the County, however, the Board has no recourse in this situation. It was determined
that Dr. Nicholas had contacted St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) and they
are taking measures towards against the developer.
Commissioner Macht thought they should be looking at the LDRs and the site plan
review, not just for growth, but also for quality control.
Administrator Baird thought they should provide a warranty bond for private
streets in the future as Attorney Collins suggested.
Dave Thompson
, who currently is in the process of building a house at Oak Chase,
questioned what mechanisms are in place for staff to enforce the terms of an agreement.
Attorney Collins responded that if a subdivision is not completed, then the bonds
are not released until they have done what they said they would do. In this case, because it is a
private subdivision, an outside engineer signed off that the roads were done correctly. The
problems appeared afterwards.
Adriene Cuffe
suggested that Dr. Nicholas check the Florida Statutes, Chapter
718, that controls condominiums as well as homeowners associations. She thought there might be
a protection clause in the bylaws preventing Chase Meadows, L.L.C. from doing more
development if it has not lived up to its stipulations.
JUNE 22, 2004
23
Chairman Ginn gave the following directions:
1.Attorney Collins to look into Chapter 718 to see if the Board would have any
influence of any kind in this situation.
2.Staff to contact St. Johns River Water Management District and follow up on
their progress with the developer.
There was CONSENSUS to bring this item back on
July 20, 2004.

12. COUNTY ATTORNEY – RESOLUTION 2004-062 – CALLING
FOR BOND REFERENDUM ELECTION ON NOVEMBER 2,
2004 – LAND ACQUISITION ADVISORY COMMITTEE
(LAAC)
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht,
SECONDED by Commissioner Neuberger, to accept
staff’s recommendation.
Chairman Ginn announced that she has the questions, etc. from the Trust for Public
Lands.
Jim Granse,
36 Pine Arbor Lane, inquired what funds were involved and
Chairman Ginn replied that there will be $12,000.
Mr. Granse
objected to $12,000 to sell the land bond issue and Chairman Ginn
advised the funds were to educate the public, not to sell the referendum.
Frank Coffey,
1200 Admirals Way, inquired further relative to the disbursement
of the $12,000. He wanted to know who would be developing the facts and questioned how it
would be coordinated with the activities. He referred to page 220, Section 12, Item 2. in the
backup where it states: “the Board commits to revise the Environmental Lands Program Guide to
provide criteria and guidelines for the acquisition of historic sites and/or agricultural land prior to
the 2004 Referendum”. He wanted to know if that task would be assigned to LAAC.
Environmental & Code Enforcement Chief Roland DeBlois explained the purpose
of the $12,000 is for the development of a brochure through the Land Acquisition Advisory
JUNE 22, 2004
29
Committee (LAAC) which will be brought before this Board before it is sent out. Guide revisions
are a LAAC matter that are going through the Committee for recommendations to the Board. Back
in 1992 two brochures came through the County. One was drafted by a subcommittee and then
went to LAAC to make it informational.
Frank Coffey
continued, stating the brochure was mailed out covering what was
developed at that time.
Chairman Ginn thought the Board needed to send their recommendations to LAAC
and not leave all the work up to them.
The CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and
the motion carried 4-0, Commissioner Adams absent.
(The Board unanimously adopted Resolution
2004-062 calling a Bond Referendum election for the
issuance of general obligation bonds; providing the
form of the ballot title and the bond referendum
question; providing for places of voting, printing of
ballots and bond referendum election procedure;
providing for effect of referendum results; providing
for a general description of the projects to be funded by
the bonds issued pursuant to the bond referendum
question; providing authorization for necessary action;
providing for severability; and providing for an
effective date.)

13.A.1. CHAIRMAN CAROLINE D. GINN – COMMITTED
ROADWAYS – TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT OF THE
COMP PLAN
Chairman Ginn spoke of what she sees as a serious matter appears improvements
budgeted in the Transportation Element of the Comp Plan for construction within 5 years are
considered committed improvements: “For travel demand forecasting and transportation planning
rd
purposes, committed improvements are considered in place and existing.” Heading the list is 43
Avenue.
Director Keating replied that it is not considered “in place and existing” for
concurrency purposes. He read Policy 1.4, page 115 of the Transportation Element, explaining
they do not consider a project in place for capacity purposes unless it is going to be under
construction no more than 2 years. After the CO of the project it is a development order of
condition.
Commissioner Macht thought it seemed odd that they approved Echo Lake yet the
permits are issued on a concurrency basis instead of a one-by-one basis.
Attorney Collins explained this was the way the requirements were structured
several years ago. Due to a lot of debate whether that was appropriate or not, a decision was made
not to frontload all impact fees at one time.
JUNE 22, 2004
31
Administrator Baird remembered in 1991 there was a bad economy and many
developers were going under when the Board changed the way concurrency occurs.
Chairman Ginn said she needed to look further at Policy 1.4.
NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN
13.C. COMMISSIONER FRAN B. ADAMS – AUTHORIZATION FOR
AN APPRAISAL ON LAND ADJACENT TO THE
COURTHOUSE PARKING GARAGE
(Clerk’s Note: See BCC meeting of June 8, 2004, Item 11.C.2, the Board agreed not to purchase
this property.)
Commissioner Adams voted affirmatively on this item at the previous meeting and
wanted to take another look from an appraisal point of view.
There was a discussion regarding whether the purchase of this property was
considered for purchase in the past.
Commissioner Macht said it was rejected several years ago when it was offered for
$400,000 for the house and the lot by staff and the Public Safety Committee for two reasons: 1)
insufficient funds, and 2) it would serve no purpose.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED
by Commissioner Lowther, by a 4-0 vote,
Commissioner Adams absent, the Board unanimously
directed General Services Director Tom Frame to
order an appraisal on the property adjacent to the
Courthouse Parking Garage for reconsideration.
