Present were Patrick B. Lyons, Chairman; William C. Wodtke, Jr., Vice Chairman;'Dick Bird; Alfred Grover Fletcher; and Don C. Scurlock, Jr. Also present were Neil A. Nelson, County Administrator;` R. Stephen Houlihan, Assistant Attorney to the Board of County Commissioners; and Janice Caldwell,Deputy Clerk. The Chairman called the meeting to order. The Chairman stated that the purpose of the meeting was to discuss the changes that had been brought about at the various CLUP meetings, and to get the plan in its final form in order to prepare for the ordinance.` Attorney Houlihan advised the Board of the advertising requirements for a public hearing before this plan can be adopted by ordinance, and the Board would have to give their authorization for the advertisement of the public hearing. After some discussion, the Board felt they would prefer to have a special meeting, instead of a regular meeting, in order to adopt the CLUP ordinance. Planning Director P.ever then discussed the I-95/Route 512 Node and the Sebastian Airport,Industrial Node. He added that there were 150 acres designated for commercial zoning, with no industrial development provided for at I-95. Mr. Rever then discussed the industrial nodes scattered throughout the County, and advised that their staff's recommendation was to eliminate the Sebastian Airport Industrial Node of 150 acres and retain the 150 acre designation but make it both commercial and industrial; or to reduce the size of the Airport Node to 50 acres. BOOK NOV 2 1981 � PAGE �© r Nov 1981 Boa 47 w4,[ 888 Ray Scent, interested citizen, came before the Board and thought it would be best for the County to have a commercial -industrial designation at I-95 and at Route 512 in order to give potential developers a choice of two places to develop. An unidentified person interjected that the people in the Fellsmere area wanted this area designated for commercial only. Motion was made by Commissioner Fletcher, seconded by Commissioner Scurlock, that the Board maintain the position they took at the public meeting regarding the 1-.95/Route 512 Node and not change that position. Commissioner Bird thought there was a six mile buffer strip between Fellsmere and the I-95 interchange which would leave a very broad buffer between any kind of development at I-95. He felt that clean_, light industry would mean jobs to the people in the North County, and to show this area strictly as commercial did not make sense, as this would need a large residential area to support it. Commissioner Bird thought that having the flexibility of being able to put some light industry in the area would make sense and it would be good for the community. Iie commented that he planned to vote against the Motion. Commissioner Wodtke stated he could think of no better areas than the ones under discussion for development of some type of industrial use. lie urged the Board to leave the 150 acre designation and make it an industrial -commercial node. Commissioner Fletcher stressed having public participation in these matters and felt the Board should honor what they have already heard from the people in the area under discussion. Commissioner Scurlock expressed concern about establishing large areas that do not have planned reservations for utility services. Planning Director Rever agreed that there was no projection for utility services. The Chairman called for the question. It was voted on and carried with a vote of 3 to 2, with Commissioners Wodtke and Bird voting in opposition. On Motion by Commissioner Scurlock, seconded by Commis- sioner Fletcher, the Board unanimously agreed to remove the Sebastian Airport Industrial Node. Mr. Rever then reviewed all the Comprehensive Plan Elements and confirmed them with the Board, as follows: 1. Addition of tourist commercial node of 25 acres in Roseland. 2. Reduction of a portion of the area east of Fellsmere between Ditch 16 and State Road 512 from LD -2 to Ag. 3. Change area west of Roseland Road to the River from LD -1 to RR -2. 4. Elimination of an industrial node of 50 acres at Durrance Rd.. 5. Removal of industrial node at North Winter Beach Rd. 6. Additional industrial node of 100 acres fronting the FEC Railroad to the east in the area south of the North Relief Canal. 7. Strip of 3001. west of Old Dixie or the railroad, whichever is further west, be included in the Mixed Use designation, lying west of U. S. #1. 8. An MD -1 area would be north of the Hospital, but with a specific separate designation for -sensitive areas. 9. Sensitive areas to be established. It will be designated as RR -2 but will have an overlay noting that it is a sensitive area. Discussion followed regarding the County Island, or enclave. Planning Director Rever next discussed the Marsh Island designation for land be changed from LD -1. to LD -2. He recommended that it go to R -2A, or 4 units per acre; it would need an LD -2 category to accommodate the zoning that is pursued. Lengthy discussion followed, and it was decided to hear the zoning change that was scheduled for December 16th before changing this classification, or possibly adjusting the density category in the CLUP .

Mr. Rever commented that their project would have to be granted site plan approval. Chairman Lyons noted that.if someone was going through the Planning & Zoning Board with a bonafide attempt, he did not want them to have to start over again with their project. Attorney Houlihan explained that until a rezoning was initiated, no development would take place - the Board would control the type, intensity, and use of Marsh Island through the zoning process. Mr. Scent suggested the Board grant the -=LD -2 designation for that particular area. Commissioner Scurlock next discussed extending the moratorium on development of the North Beach area until the CLUP was adopted. Discussion followed. Attorney Houlihan advised the Board that there are vehicles available for extending the moratorium. He added that site plans on the North Beach could be restricted without going through an emergency ordinance; that is, the Board could stop any site plan approval that exceeds 6 units per acre. Planning Director Rever continued on with his confirmation of the CLUP elements: r � � 10. Area south of Rosewood Rd. to the South Relief Canal and from Kings Highway to 43rd Avenue be changed from LD -2 to LD -1. 11. Section 12-33-38 changed from Ag. to RR -1. After some lengthy discussion, the Board decided it would not address the property west of I-95 owned by Evelyn Neville, as requested. 12. Hibiscus AirportProperty changed from MD -2 to LD -2. 13. Industrial node of 150 acres on Oslo Rd. changed to Industrial -Commercial Node. Mr. Rever explained that this concluded the changes made on the Mainland. The two changes on the Barrier Island are: 1. All land west of AlA that is presently zoned Agricultural, and designated as Agricultural on the plan, was changed to LD -1 to allow more flexibility. This does not include those areas of AlA north of SR 510 that are currently zoned R-1 - those areas presently contain Oceanaire Heights and Summerplace. He discussed the Nelson Hyatt property west of A -1-A with the Board and since it was high and dry, it did not fit into the sensitive area category. Mr. Rever felt it should be designated as LD -1 and not RR -2. 2. Commercial node of 10 acres in The Moorings. Discussion then turned to the Jungle Trail Policy Refine- ment and the Private Curtailment of Public Use Mitigation. Senior Planner -Challacombe reviewed the Coastal. Zone Conservation Elements with the Board. He stated that there was an issue pending as to ownership of Jungle Trail - the County has maintenance rights but property owners felt this was a private road. Attorney Houlihan felt satisfied that this road was vested to the County, but the County would have to decide what limitations it would give to development. 0 V �9� 1 5 Boos 4 7 PAPE 891 roadway. 80ox 4 7 urE 892 Discussion followed about the road being a scenic Commissioner Scurlock agreed that Jungle Trail was a scenic route and felt the County should work with developers to preserve this road and enhance it. this would be in the site plan. He felt the proper place to do Discussion ensued about having a marina or a draw bridge included in the site plans. It was determined that the Board should have the ultimate decision for preservation of Jungle Trail, and guidelines should be developed. Motion was made by Commissioner Fletcher, seconded by Commissioner Scurlock, that any development impacting the scenic nature of Jungle Trail should come before the Board prior to site plan approval. Mr. Rever commented the Motion means the Board would review all proposals for development that would impact Jungle Trail. The maintenance map was discussed. It was pointed out that since Jungle Trail was a public County road, they could not deny access. Commissioner Fletcher withdrew his Motion and Commissioner Scurlock withdrew his second. The Board ensued in a lengthy discussion about who would maintain control of a draw bridge, the County or the developer, if one was to be built at Jungle Trail. No decision was reached but it was felt guidelines should be developed for this historical area. Mr. Rever noted that four public hearings and five work- shops were held to straighten out all the questions posed on the land use elements. They will be..workin.g to incorporate all the changes into a final draft document with the basic maps. Discussion ensued about the time element. On Motion by Commissioner Scurlock, seconded by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously agreed that the draft documents with the basic maps will be available by December 18, 1981, and that the public hearing for the adoption of the CLUP will be held on January 6, 1982. There being no further business, on Motion made, seconded and carried, the Board adjourned at 9:40 o'clock P.M. ATTEST: JAzL— CleJ N O V 2 1981 �ooK 4 7 PAGE 893
