9. PUBLIC ITEMS
A. PUBLIC HEARINGS
9.A.1.SALLY ALKAYALY'S REQUEST FOR SPECIAL
EXCEPTION USE APPROVAL FOR A CHILD CARE
FACILITY (QUASI-JUDICIAL)
PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE
OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD
Planning Director Stan Boling through a PowerPoint presentation showed the
details relating to the site plan and landscape plan, specifying that the site is in a zone (RS -3) that
requires special exception use approval for child care facilities. He advised that staff approved the
site plan subject to the Board's approval of this request, and the Planning and Zoning Commission
also recommended Board approval.
Commissioner Davis inquired about buffer requirements.
Commissioner O'Bryan expressed concern with traffic impact, and wanted to know
July 17, 2007 12
if there would be left turn lanes. Chairman Wheeler was also concerned with the traffic backing up
on 58th Avenue and 66th Avenue.
The Chairman opened the public hearing.
Christopher J. Pontello, P.E., of W. F. McCain & Associates, Inc., spoke on behalf
of the applicant, pointing out they will have a "no left turn" sign, and discussed the traffic trips
report. They are in agreement with staffs recommendation, and offer to answer any questions.

July 17, 2007 13
9.B. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEMS
9.B.1. Request To Speak From CITY OF VERO BEACH VICE MAYOR
SABINABELL REGARDING TREASURE COAST REGIONAL
PLANNING COUNCIL
Sabin Abell discussed the appointments currently held on the Treasure Coast
Regional Planning Council, and asked the Board to help him to create the best representation of the
Municipalities. He said Vero Beach and Sebastian held the permanent seats, and Indian River
Shores wants Sebastian to give them their permanent seat. The Municipalities have not been able
to come to an agreement. Based on population, he asked the Board to make a decision that
Fellsmere be the first or second representative, since they have become the largest Municipality in
the County.
Discussion ensued regarding the permanent seat. Vice Chair Bowden did not want
to change the permanent seats; however, Commissioner Davis suggested in all fairness, they
should do away with permanency, rotate the municipalities, and create a geographical balance
throughout the County on an annual basis.
Mr. Abell pointed out another issue regarding the number of registered voters, and
Commissioner Davis thought that denying the minority the right to be heard in the smaller
municipalities, he felt they would be doing a disservice.
Susan Adams, City of Fellsmere, discussed the current rotation schedule approved
by the County that allots the seat to Fellsmere for 2007-2008. Under Mr. Abel's plan, Fellsmere
would not have the opportunity to sit at the table; however, they would like to have the seat
appointed to them. Ms Adams said they have always been questioned on their vision for the
future, and it would be in their City's best interest to have the opportunity to attend these meetings,
participate fully in these meetings, and gain the education and information that would be necessary
July 17, 2007 14
for them to continue in the future. She asked that the seat be given to them. She told the Board
they cannot change the rules midstream under the current policy, and that dictates they do have a
seat.
Community Development Director Bob Keating, in response to Chairman
Wheeler's question, explained that the Sebastian seat was established by a rule, and the Council
would need to go through a rule making process to change that.
Mayor Savage, City of Fellsmere, pointed out that Fellsmere was supposed to serve
as seat for 2007-2008; and due to the elections, that has been a problem. She held up a letter
signed by former Chairman Art Neuberger that indicated Fellsmere was appointed the seat for
2007/2008. Mayor Savage agreeing with Commissioner Davis's ideas, said Fellsmere wanted to
be recognized and be involved in the whole process.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Davis,
SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher for discussion, to
direct staff to send a letter to the Treasure Coast Regional
Planning Council to rescind the Sebastian permanent seat.
Chairman Wheeler said that everybody is welcome to attend the TCRPC meetings,
and be heard.
Mr. Abel thought annual rotation was a good idea, and preferred to start the rotation
in 2008.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the Motion
carried unanimously. The Board authorized staff to send a
letter to the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council to
rescind the Sebastian permanent seat.
July 17, 2007 15
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Davis,
SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher, to let Sebastian
and Vero Beach finish out their terms for this year, and in
November to appoint the City of Fellsmere and the City of
Vero Beach for a seat in 2008, with the intent of having a
large and small municipality, and north and south County
alternates.
Mayor Savage pointed out that she had a letter from former Chairman Art
Neuberger, which was the basis for this issue.
Pastor Ray Scent thought the cities with the largest vote should be appointed to the
Council.
Administrator Baird thought they should write the State, since cities like to annex,
asking that they go by population for the Regional Planning Council, and cities be included, not
just counties, and they can pay their share.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and the
Motion carried unanimously. The Board approved for the
City of Sebastian and the City of Vero Beach to finish out
their term for 2007, and then the City of Vero Beach and the
City of Fellsmere be appointed.
9.B.2. REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM WILLIAM WELLS REGARDING THE NEED
FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS ON CERTAIN DECISIONS
William Wells reminded the Board that in the fall the County staked out 44th
Avenue for drainage and tree removal, and after public complaints, the project was stopped. He
July 17, 2007 16
wanted the project continued.
Chairman Wheeler referred this item to staff to resolve.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Flescher, Seconded by
Commissioner Davis, the Board unanimously directed staff
to assess Mr. Wells' list of concerns.
(Clerk's note: The Chairman called for a recess at 10:33 a.m. and reconvened the
meeting at 10:47 a.m. with Commissioner Davis absent.)
9.B.3. REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM JOSEPH PALADIN, CHAIRMAN,
GROWTH AWARENESS COMMITTEE AND PRESIDENT, BLACK
SWAN CONSULTING REGARDING UPDATE THE INFORMATION ON
THE PALADIN/2050 PLAN
Joseph Paladin, Chairman of the Growth Awareness Committee (a private sector
group), and Black Swan Consulting, referenced his prior presentation for future growth in Indian
River County called the "Paladin Plan". He wanted to give more information, regarding areas for
development, both commercial and industrial, preservation of pristine land, and population
increase. On May 1, 2007, the Board voted to have staff review the plan and he wanted to add to
the information that staff could look at. He displayed a map that indicated areas of potential
conservation land priorities, and existing conservation land outside the Urban Service Line.
He explained that his plan is called the "Paladin 2050 Plan" and after staff reviews it,
it will come back as the "2050 Plan". He explained the downside of density is that we have no
master stormwater plan and limited storage area. With this plan, he said we would be able to
acquire and put into conservation nearly $4 Million dollars. The only way he said we could do
that was for the County to maintain control of that land and set it up at a very early stage. He told
July 17, 2007 17
the Board the largest concern is water, and they have to address an alternative water supply in the
future.
He provided reasons to work with annexations, and he felt there was no need for
annexation frenzy. He discussed the needs of the County stressing the importance of looking at
economics, water, density, and employment. Mr. Paladin spoke of the importance of creating a job
base, to provide a future for our children. He wanted to raise that base of what jobs are worth here,
so he can make housing more affordable.
(Clerk's Note: Commissioner Davis entered the meeting at 11:07 a.m.)
Commissioner Flescher asked Mr. Keating if this information would be of benefit to
the Board in helping them make a decision in the future.
Bob Keating confirmed the Board did ask them to look at the "2050 Plan". He
advised that they currently have three processes in progress, one is the interlocal agreements,
complimented by the "stand down resolution agreements", and the "New Town Policy", which are
reasons why staff has not focused on this Plan. They cannot do anything with this plan for about a
year. Secondly, from staffs perspective, they have several concerns. There is a significant over
allocation of commercial and industrial; Fellsmere proposes to allocate commercial and industrial,
and Sebastian has plans in part of its annexation preserve area to allocate commercial and
industrial area. It has been difficult for County staff to keep commercial and industrial with
development.
Another concern he spoke of was the pattern. He commented that the Board does
not recommend extending the Urban Service Areas, and he mentioned the "New Town" concept
that gives a better development plan.
Mr. Keating responded to Commissioner Davis's question regarding development
transfer rights which lead to further discussion.
July 17, 2007 18
Chairman Wheeler did not want to dedicate time from this meeting to discuss the
"2050 Plan."
Commissioner O'Bryan supported the concept of private storage and there were
concepts that he would like to work on rather than lock themselves into a particular plan.
Chairman Wheeler suggested that the Commissioners could have a workshop and
bring back the results of that workshop for further decision.
Vice Chair Bowden felt they needed to have ongoing planning and agreed with
having a workshop.
There was CONSENSUS to add this material to the original
documentation for staff's review, and at some point in time,
the Board would look at the 2050 Plan.

10. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S MATTERS - NONE
11. DEPARTMENTAL MATTERS
A. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
1. CONSIDERATION OF US 1 CAPACITY, LEVEL OF SERVICE, AND
CONCURRENCY ISSUES
Community Development Director Bob Keating gave a PowerPoint presentation
(copy on file), reviewing the results of the February 9, 2007 workshop regarding US -1.
The workshop was intended to focus on reducing the demand on US -1, work with
July 17, 2007 20
developers to provide connectivity, and a developer's agreement for six lanes. While
working on the Developer's Agreement; however, a problem arose whereby improving a
portion of US -1 to accommodate more developments it would cause other portions to
break. He told the Board they undertook an Arterial analysis, and saw there was a need for
the Board to accept new service level volumes. He provided brief information on
ARTPLAN software and Synchro software programs that provide links or segments to
specific volumes at level of service.
Director Keating explained that Staffs recommendation was not to adopt the amendment
when it returns from the Department of Community Affairs, because it relates to the
Proportionate Share Mitigation. He provided an example. Staff recommended that the Board
accept Synchro analysis results, direct staff to apply Synchro capacities to the concurrency
system, and agree not to adopt the pending Comprehensive Plan amendment when it comes
back from DCA, and to direct staff to initiate the process of preparing a State Environmental
Impact Report for 6-laning US -1.
Assistant Public Works Director Chris Mora explained the difference between the
two plans.
Bryan Good, Consultant, Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc. explained the process
used in analyzing the time allotted at each signal.
Chairman Wheeler wanted to ensure what they were doing was positive.
Discussion ensued among the Commissioners regarding traffic timing, and
synchronizing volume.
Administrator Baird advised the Board that their decision today would not speed up
the road improvements. He felt that as they go through the phases of proceeding with the plan
analysis, buy right-of-way, and look for stormwater runoff, and while they are doing that he felt
July 17, 2007 21
they should lobby the State to pay for some of the cost.
Commissioner Flescher supported using the Synchro Plan and he did not understand
why they were not using it already.
A lengthy discussion ensued among the Commissioners, and they posed questions to
staff seeking further information regarding the Synchro Plan methodology for traffic light timing,
and having dedicated green lights.
(Clerk's Note: The Chairman called for a recess at 12: 17 p.m., and he reconvened
the meeting at 12:34 p.m., with all members present.)
Chairman Wheeler opened the floor to the public.
Jerry Swanson, Commercial Developer with P&S Properties, told the Board that
after the US 1 workshop, they were able to put together a group of 22 developers who were
interested in putting up the funds to put in a link on US 1. Consequently, the more they were
willing to do, the more the links broke, and it became a tough thing for a developing community to
handle. He advised that this same group of developers would go to Tallahassee to lobby the
Legislature. He said it was not the Commissioner's responsibility, and asked the Board to give
every consideration to what staff was asking them to do.
Discussion continued among the Commissioners regarding how the Synchro analysis
handles failing links, vesting for commercial developers, and how it works on non-commercial
streets.
Al Scott, County resident, spoke 100% in favor of synchronization, and agreed with Mr.
Baird that they need to lobby the State to pay their fair share. He also wanted to thank Mr. Paladin
and his whole family for their time and financial resources that they put forth at no cost to this
July 17, 2007 22
County for bringing forward a plan that he thought everyone could live with.
Joseph Paladin supported going forward with synchronization and felt they should
have done this a long time ago. He felt the Board should find ways to let the commercial
developers vest and go forward. He did not think the County had perfected the way we capture
trips. He said the percentages were wrong, and the methods they were using was wrong. He
wanted to see a study done by the people who designed the software for the County, and the people
who put it in place, to make sure we are using every affordable way possible to get all of our
concurrency, and so the developers who live here could go forward and develop more commercial
and industrial property.
In response to several questions posed by Chairman Wheeler, Director Keating said
this item could be solved at staff level; and it was not necessary to be presented to the Planning and
Zoning Committee. He related that the Comprehensive Plan Amendment submitted to the
Department of Community Affairs (DCA) would prohibit the County from using volumes derived
from an Arterial Analysis, and require staff to use the generalized table volume. He also notified
the Board that they would still be using the ARTPLAN. Because US 1 is unique, they may not use
Synchro later.
Both Chairman Wheeler and Commissioner O'Bryan were concerned with the
Synchro analysis being allowed as an option, and not a Countywide standard.
Attorney Collins did not think it was necessary to draw the line.
Administrator Baird explained they did not know how they would obtain enough
funds to make all the improvements on US -1. Based on the fact that US -1 is a State road, he said
they should lobby the legislature to pay their fair share.
Bruce Barkett, Developer's Attorney, suggested the Board ask DCA to withdraw
July 17, 2007 23
their submittal, and make a decision today.
Commissioner Flescher inquired if staff was concerned that the two methodologies
may invade or contradict each other, but Director Mora did not feel that would happen. He thought
Synchro was a more refined look, time consuming, and it may have application to other roads in
the future, but they did not see wholesale use of it in every matter; they think the proportionate
share ordinance would handle that.
Chairman Wheeler would like the Commission to reserve the right to evaluate
unique situations.
MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chair Bowden,
SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher, to:
• accept Synchro analysis results and direct staff to
apply Synchro derived capacities to the County's
concurrency system;
• agree not to adopt the pending Comprehensive Plan
Amendment and withdraw it to use only the
Generalized Level of Service Handbook Capacities;
and
• direct staff to initiate the process of preparing a
State Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) for the
6-laning of US 1.
Commissioner O'Bryan preferred to wait until the Comprehensive Plan Amendment
came back from the Department of Community Affairs (DCA), and then hold a public hearing for
public input. He was 100% for bulleted items 1 and 3 above. Chairman Wheeler agreed. He felt
there was no need to rush to a decision, and he would support the Motion if they eliminate bulleted
July 17, 2007 24
item 2.
Jerry Swanson felt they need the flexibility, and he encouraged the Board to
support Vice Chair Bowden's Motion.
Further discussion ensued by the Commissioners regarding the elimination of
bulleted item 2 from the Motion, and whether staff would be able to move forward.
Attorney Collins determined that at this point they have not adopted the
Amendment, so they could still move forward and use Synchro analysis.
MOTION WAS AMENDED by Vice Chair Bowden,
SECONDED by Commissioner O'Bryan, to eliminate the
words "agree not to adopt the pending Comprehensive Plan
amendment," and to use only the Generalized Level of
Service Handbook Capacities (Bullet 2).
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and the
Motion, as amended carried unanimously.

INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS
Assistant County Attorney William DeBraal presented this item explaining this was
the first step in the eminent domain process. If approved today, the Board needed to review
alternative alignment plans, long range planning, safety considerations, environmental impacts,
and costs. He discussed the long range planning, safety considerations, and the cost.
County Project Engineer Janet Dunlop displayed an aerial view map (copy on file)
and reviewed the alternative alignment, and environmental impacts.
Attorney DeBraal summarized that all the parcels necessary to construct this project
have been acquired, except for the Cumberland Farms parcel that remains to be acquired either
July 17, 2007 27
through continued negotiation or through eminent domain.
