9:19 a.m. 1. Roseland United Methodist Church's Request for Special
Exception Use Approval to Construct a Stabilized Parking Lot to
Serve the Church
(memorandum dated July 3, 2014)
69-84
(Quasi -Judicial)
PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR
HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO
THE BOARD
The Commissioners, as requested by the Chairman, disclosed
that there had been no ex parte communications or
independent investigations. Commissioners O'Bryan, Solari,
and Zorc disclosed that there have been no site visits; Vice
Chairman Davis and Commissioner Flescher stated that they
have formerly driven by the site. The Commissioners affirmed
that they have an open mind and are able to base their
decisions on the evidence presented and the applicable law.
In accordance with Chairman O'Bryan's declaration that this
meeting was quasi-judicial, the Deputy Clerk administered the
Oath to all persons who wished to speak at the hearing.
Community Development Director Stan Boling presented a
description and analysis of Roseland United Methodist
Church's request to convert a lot at the corner of 82nd Court
and 129th Court to a grass parking lot with nine spaces, to
serve the church. He relayed that the Planning & Zoning
Commission (P&Z) has recommended Board approval of the
request with conditions, including the possible addition of
signs along Roseland Road to prohibit roadside parking.
Director Boling noted that staff has structured a monitoring
condition to evaluate the parking/traffic circulation, and if
signs become necessary, the church will cover the County's
costs for making and installing the signs. He thereafter
relayed staff's recommendation for the Board to grant special
exception use approval for the church parking lot with the
conditions outlined in staff's report, related to buffer
construction; parking and traffic circulation; and the
Board of County Commission Minutes
July 15, 2014 Page 5
prohibition of outdoor lighting.
Commissioner Solari did not see the necessity to require the
church to fund additional signage.
Director Boling explained for Commissioner Flescher why a
formal traffic study did not need to be conducted.
The Chairman opened the Public Hearing.
Todd Smith, Project Engineer, 121 Hinchman Avenue,
Sebastian, stated the food pantry's operating hours, and
stressed that the additional parking lot will allow patrons and
staff to park in the lot, rather than in the alley.
Discussion ensued during which staff and Mr. Smith dispelled
the Board's concerns about a possible intensification of traffic.
Charles Duncan, Roseland Church member, validated that the
purpose of the parking project is to make the traffic flow safer
for those who come to the food pantry.
Pat Edmund, 12920 82' Court, Roseland, outlined her
concerns about the proposed parking lot.
Jinny Earnshaw, Director of Food Pantry, disclosed that the
food bank serves about 400 families per month.
Jackie James, Roseland, elaborated on her reasons for
opposing the proposed parking lot.
Sy Carlson, Bay Street, Roseland, suggested that the Planning
and Zoning Commission conduct further analysis on what
effect the proposed parking lot will have upon traffic, before
the Board makes a decision.
Staff responded to several concerns voiced by the speakers
opposing the project, and clarified the advantages of having
the new parking lot.
Rhonda Swiger, 667 Wallis Avenue, Sebastian, voiced support
for the proposed parking lot.
Mr. Smith asked the Board to approve the special exception
use without the additional parking/traffic monitoring
condition.
Board of County Commission Minutes
July 15, 2014 Page 6
There were no additional speakers, and the Chairman closed
the Public Hearing.
Chairman Flescher sought and received confirmation from the
County Attorney that prior communications related to the
church, but unrelated to the parking lot, would not prevent his
participation in today's quasi-judicial hearing.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari, SECONDED
for discussion by Vice Chairman Davis, to approve staff's
recommendation, with staff's conditions EXCLUDING Special
Condition No. 4 — Traffic Monitoring to determine if
additional signage will be required for parking along Roseland
Road.
Discussion ensued on the importance of the food bank and the
church's willingness to be a good neighbor.
Chairman O'Bryan stated that although he supports the food
bank, he is concerned about possible unintended consequences
of approving this item without the traffic monitoring. He
declared support for the Motion if amended to include a
traffic monitoring period.
Commissioner Solari stood by his original Motion.
Discussion continued by the Board and staff about the traffic
monitoring condition, the proposed parking lot, the intensity
of use at the church, and the pros and cons of adding signage
on Roseland Road.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and by a 4-1 vote
(Chairman O'Bryan opposed), the Motion carried.
The Board FOUND, that in conjunction with the
recommended conditions:
1. It is empowered under the provisions of Chapter 971 to
review the special exception applied for;
2. The granting of the special exception will not adversely
affect the public interest;
3. The application satisfies the general and specific criteria
required for special exception approval; and
4. The conditions stated below are adequate to ensure

Attorney Reingold recalled the Board's deliberations on July 1, 2014

After providing a description and analysis of the following three options,
he presented staff's recommendation for the Board to have an attorney
in the County Attorney's office serve as the point person with one or
more lobbying firms during legislative session and other critical periods.
Option 1
Create and Fund an "Intergovernmental Relations
and Grants Coordinator" Position
Option 2
Delegate an attorney in the County Attorney's office
as the Coordinator during the legislative session and

Option 3
Have an attorney in the County Attorney's office
serve as the point person with one or more lobbying
firms during legislative session and other critical
periods
Vice Chairman Davis supported the placement of a point person in the
County Attorney's office, and suggested that travel money be added to
this year's budget for travel to Tallahassee as required.
Commissioner Zorc stated he would also support the point person, and
remarked on the importance of the County having a physical presence in
Tallahassee, particularly when key issues arise.
Chairman O'Bryan advocated for the creation of the
"Intergovernmental Relations and Grants Coordinator" position as the
most effective way to promote the County's interests. He declared that it
is essential to have a continual presence in Tallahassee who can form

adequately maintaining the level of legal assistance to the Board and the
various County Departments; and (2) allocate funding in the amount of
$6,000 for travel expenses associated with lobbying efforts.
Chairman O'Bryan provided examples of how the County would have
benefited by having more direct representation in Tallahassee last

good to hire a second lobbying firm in addition to having the local point
person.
