FILING FEE FOR PROPERTY APPRAISAL ADJUSTMENT BOARD The Board reviewed memo from the OMB Director, as follows: TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Jeffrey K. Barton, OMB Director DATE: July 26, 1984 FILE: SUBJECT: Property Appraisal Adjustment Board - Filing Fee REFERENCES: 1) Appointment of three (3) members to PAAB so it can have it's organizational meeting. 2) Recommendation to increase filing fee to appear before PAAB from present $10.00 to Florida Statute limit of $15.00, for the following reasons: A) Postage Costs for required letters alone cost $6.70. B) Increased staff time. C) Cost of Special Master. D) Payments to Five (5) members of PAAB. E) Supplies. The fee increase at $15.00 will still not cover the cost involved in running the complete PAAB process. 5 AUG 1 -1994 e,00K. 57 F��F 809 J AUG 1 1984 BooK 5 ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously recommended that the Property Appraisal Adjust- ment Board increase their filing fee for appear- ance before that Board to $15.00. APPOINTMENT OF MEMBERS TO PROPERTY APPRAISAL ADJUSTMENT BOARD Discussion ensued as to who would serve on the PAAB this year; the following Commissioners volunteered and were approved by the Board: Commissioner Bird Commissioner Lyons Chairman Scurlock APPOINTMENT TO OVERALL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE Chairman Scurlock recommended the appointment to the above committee of Duncan 0. Bowman, who is associated with Laurel Builders. He reported that he has contacted Piper, Rampmaster, and some other local industries, and hopes to have another recommendation from the industrial area soon. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously approved the appointment of Duncan 0. Bowman to the Overall Economic Development Committee. ACCEPT SETTLEMENT ON DEMOLITION LIEN - ROSS The Board reviewed staff memo, as follows: 0 TO: The Board of County DATE: July 24, 1984 FILE: Commissioners SUBJECT: Offer of settlement on demolition lien FROM: Jam ZP. Wilson REFERENCES: Assi ant County Attorney This office.requests input from the Board on the following: We have received an offer of settlement of $2,000.00 from an attorney representing the estate of Ethel Ruth Ross, owner of the property against which the County has a lien dated January 10, 1979, in the original amount of $1,747.36, plus 6% interest, currently totalling approximately $2,415.00. The Board has rejected a previous settlement Of $1,500.00. If the Board rejects the present offer, this office is prepared to immediately file a foreclosure action against the estate. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, to accept the settlement of $2,000 on the demolition lien against the estate of Ethel Ruth Ross, as recommended by staff. Commissioner Lyons inquired if it would be more costly to proceed with further legal action to try to obtain a higher settlement, and Attorney Brandenburg confirmed that it would. Administrator Wright wished to know if these funds would go into the land acquisition account, and it was agreed that they would. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. DISCUSSION RE ST. JOHN'S RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT MEETING Commissioner Bowman informed the Board that St. John's River Water Management District is planning to meet in Sanford on August 8th in regard to acquisition of a basin in 7 AUG 1 1984 Boa 7 F,fI-JE811 E AUG 1 1994 BOOK �£7 P'nUE 812 this area. Since this affects property owners in this County, she requested that the Chairman be authorized to send the District a letter requesting that the meeting be held in the Sebastian area in the evening so that local people can participate and have input. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bowman, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, to authorize the Chairman to send a letter to St. John's River Water Management re changing the loca- tion of their August 8th meeting, as above. Commissioner Bird felt this would be quite short notice as there probably would have been an advertised notice of the meeting. Chairman Scurlock noted that we can indicate that if in the future something directly affecting our county is to be discussed, we would like that meeting to be held in Indian River County. Commissioner Wodtke believed if the meeting of August 8th has not been advertised, we could request that it be changed to another time, if it has, then we could make the request suggested by the Chairman. Commissioner Bowman and Lyons agreed with the above suggestions. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION, including the suggestions made by Board members. It was voted on and carried unanimously. 0 i COUNTY -INITIATED REZONING - 27TH AVE. SOUTH OF KELLY RD.

AUG 1 1984 BOCK 57 FA GE 813 L AUG 1 1984 BOOK 57 FniS14 7 Chief Planner Richard Shearer made the staff presentation and recommendation, as follows: TO: The Honorable Members DATE: July 17, 1984 FILE: of the Board of County Commissioners - - COUNTY -INITIATED REQUEST DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: TO REZONE 45.5 ACRES FROM C-1, COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, ��� Jt l�rs SUBJECT: TO R-1, SINGLE-FAMILY Robert M. KeatiAg, A&CP DISTRICT Planning & Development Director FROM:chard Shearer, AICP REFERENCES: P&z Memo/ZC-067 Chief, Long -Range Planning RICH2 It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of August 1, 1984. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The County is initiating a request to rezone approximately 45.5 acres located on the east side of 27th Avenue and south of Kelly Road (13th Street, S.W.) from C-1, Commercial District, to R-1, Single -Family District (up to 6.2 units/acre). On May 23, 1984, the Board of County Commissioners rezoned 13.8 acres located north of the subject property from C-1 to R-1. At that time, the Board instructed the staff to prepare a proposal to rezone the remaining commercially zoned property located south of that rezoning request. On June 28, 1984, the Planning and Zoning commission voted 3 -to -0 to recommend approval of this request with the exception of two lots at the north end of the subject property. Because these two lots contain a contractor's business, the Commission felt that this property should remain zoned C-1 instead of becoming a nonconforming use. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS Because this request is part of the administrative rezoning process, this section will deal primarily with the existing land use pattern, the current zoning pattern, and the subject property's Land Use designation. Existing Land Use Pattern The subject property currently contains a contractor's office, a nonconforming storage yard, a nonconforming mobile home, a power substation, agricultural land, vacant land, and two single-family homes. North of the subject property is vacant land zoned R-1. East of the subject property is a single-. family subdivision, agricultural land, and vacant land zoned R-1. South of the subject property is a fish farm zoned A, Agricultural District. West of the subject property, across 27th Avenue, are several single-family homes, a mobile home park, agricultural land, and vacant land zoned C-1, and agricultural land zoned A, Agricultural District. 10 Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and the land north, south, and east of it as LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6 units/acre). The land to the west, across 27th Avenue, is designated as LD -1, Low -Density Residential 1 (up to 3 units/acre). The commercial needs of this part of the County will be served by the proposed commercial node at the intersection of 27th Avenue and Oslo Road and the recently designated neighborhood commercial node at 27th Avenue and the County line. Since the C-1 zoning of the subject property is not in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, and the property north and east of the . subject property is zoned R-1 (which is in conformance with the LD -2 designation), the most appropriate zoning for the subject property is the R-1 district. Transportation System The subject property has direct access to 27th Avenue (presently classified as a primary collector street but proposed to be an arterial street on the County's Thoroughfare Plan). Rezoning the subject property from C-1 to R-1 would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan policy of..discouraging strip commercial development along major streets. Residential development is an acceptable use in this location because the County's Subdivision Regulations prohibit single-family lots from having direct access to primary collector and arterial streets, and the regulations also require buffering of a subdivision from an arterial roadway. Environment The subject property is not environmentally sensitive nor is -it in a flood -prone area. Utilities The subject property is not served by County water nor wastewater facilities. However, County water facilities are scheduled to be extended to the Oslo Road/27th Avenue intersection in August. RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of this rezoning with the exception of two lots for the reason outlined in the Description and Conditions section of this memorandum. While the Planning Department respects the Commission's position of not creating a nonconforming use, excepting these two lots from this rezoning would result in spot zoning. Based on the above analysis, subject property be rezoned R-1, Single -Family District. WS staff recommends that all of the from C-1, Commercial District, to 11 BOCK 57 P�-JE815 AUG 1 1994 Boc,5 57 NAGE 816 Chief Planner Shearer displayed an aerial photo showing the acreage previously rezoned to R-1 in this same area, and informed the Board that the property in question is 330' deep and 1h miles long. He noted that since the Land Use Plan designation is LD -2, commercial zoning is not appropriate. Mr. Shearer emphasized that staff feels all the property should be rezoned, including the two lots the Planning & Zoning Commission wishes left out. Attorney Brandenburg pointed out that the rezoning of those two lots was denied at the Planning & Zoning Commis- sion and that denial is final unless the matter is appealed to the County; therefore, we could not overturn that denial today. The remainder can be rezoned, however. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. There were none. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously adopted Ordinance 84-45 rezoning approximately 45.5 acres east of 27th Avenue and south of Kelly Road from C-1 to R-1, with the exception of the two lots at -the north end of the subject property. 12 r ORDIIIANCE N0. 84-45 W''HEREA.S, the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida, did publish and send its Notice of Intent to rezone the hereinafter described property and pursuant thereto held a public hearing in relation thereto, at which parties in interest and citizens were heard; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAMED by the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida, that the Zoning Ordinance of Indian River County, Florida, and the accompanying Zoning Map, be amended as follows: 1.

They have submitted a scope of services (Exhibit "a") and a specific services addendum (Exhibit "b") for the 1984 biennial sanitary landfill management report for the County's approval and signature. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSES: The only alternative is to go out for bid to other engineers to provide this service. At this time, staff does not recommend this. The biennial sanitary landfill management report is a requirement of our Solid Waste Disposal System Revenue Bonds, Series 1977, Section 0 (Exhibit RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board authorize its Chairman to sign the specific services addendum and approve the scope of services as stated in Exhibit "a". Chairman Scurlock inquired about interviewing other engineering firms as he wished to be sure we continued to make this a competitive situation; otherwise, firms tend to escalate their prices. Director Pinto explained that staff feels it is best to keep the original consultant at this time since we are going through some difficulties in the final permitting stages for the closeout of this cell.

Dr. Gissendanner indicated that the eight ranked above us have either been purchased or optioned, and it appears our project now is number one on the priority list. Therefore, it now is a question of getting everything in proper form to be presented to the Governor and Cabinet for them to make the final decision and authorize the State to enter into the purchase agreement. Commissioner Bird noted that we are talking about property in the value of around 4.5 million, and we have an indication that at least a portion, if not all, of the 4.5 million possibly could be purchased from the funds that will be available in September. He stressed that it was a very encouraging meeting and he felt very worthwhile. Attorney Brandenburg confirmed that we received a very positive attitude from the Department of Natural Resources staff and their head man that our project was number one on the list and will be bought, if it all possible, from the funds left from the September issue. Commissioner Bird believed that it will be necessary to make more trips to follow through on this matter. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously authorized whatever out -of -County travel is necessary for acquisition of this property for Commissioner Bird and appropriate staff members. 19 I COUNTY -INITIATED REZONING - 27TH AVE.

Chief Planner Richard Shearer made the staff presenta- tion, as follows: 20 AUG 1 1984 Bou 5 7 Fri,,FS9fS BOOK 57 FA -CE, 8?6 1 TO: The Honorable Members DATE: July 17, 1984 FILE: of the Board of County Commissioners COUNTY -INITIATED REQUEST DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: TO REZONE 48.33 ACRES FROM C-1, COMMERCIAL SUBJECT: DISTRICT, TO R-lAA, SINGLE -FAMILY -DISTRICT Robert M. Keatin , ATdb Planning & Developmen Director FROM: Richard Shearer, AICP REFERENCES: west Side of 27th Chief, Long -Range Planning RICH2 It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of August 1, 1984. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The County is initiating a request to rezone approximately 48.33 acres located on the west side of 27th Avenue and one-quarter mile south of Oslo Road from C-1, Commercial District, to R-lAA (up to 2.6 units/acre). On May 23, 1984, the Board of County Commissioners rezoned 13.8 acres located east of the subject property from C-1 to R-1, Single -Family District. At that time, the Board instructed the staff to prepare a proposal to rezone the remaining commercially zoned property located west of that rezoning request. On June 28, 1984, the Planning and Zoning commission voted 3 -to -0 to recommend approval of this rezoning. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS Because this request is part of the administrative rezoning process, this section will deal primarily with the existing land use pattern, the current zoning pattern, and the subject property's Land Use designation. Existing Land Use Pattern The subject property contains several single-family residences, a nonconforming mobile home park, vacant land, and agricultural land. North of the subject property is undeveloped land zoned C-1 (which has been designated a neighborhood commercial node). East of the subject property, across 27th Avenue, is a mobile home park zoned R-1MP, Mobile Home Park District, undeveloped land zoned R-1; a contractor's home and office, a storage yard, a mobile home, vacant land, a power substation, and agricul- tural land zoned C-1. South of the subject property is a convenience grocery store and the Pony Keg in a C-1 zoning district. West of the subject property is vacant land, agri- cultural land, and a single-family subdivision. Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and the lard west of it as LD -1, Low -Density Residential 1 (up to 3 units/acre). The land north of the subject property was designated a neighborhood commercial node during the public 21 hearings on the Comprehensive Plan in 1982 and could be included as part of the general commercial node proposed for the 27th Avenue and Oslo Road intersection. The land east of the subject property, across 27th Avenue, is designated as LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6 units/acre). South of the subject property is a recently designated neighborhood commercial node. Based on the LD -1 land use designation of the subject property, the most appropriate zoning district is the R-lAA, Single -Family District. Transportation System The subject property has direct access to 27th Avenue (presently classified as a primary collector street but proposed to be an arterial street on the County's Thoroughfare Plan). Rezoning the subject property from C-1 to R-lAA would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan policy of discouraging strip commercial development along major streets. Residential development is an acceptable use in this location because the County's subdivision regulations prohibit single- family lots from having direct access to primary collector and arterial streets; and the regulations also require buffering of a subdivision from an arterial roadway. Environment The subject property is not environmentally sensitive nor is it in a flood -prone area. TI -1 l ; +i o The subject property is not served by County water nor wastewater facilities. However, County water facilities are scheduled to be extended to the Oslo Road/27th Avenue intersection in August. _ RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, staff recommends that the subject property be rezoned from C-1, Commercial District, to R-lAA, Single -Family District. Chief Planner Shearer informed the Board that it was originally intended to rezone from 1/8 mile south of Oslo Road down to the County line, but someone who had pulled a building permit some time ago in that area south of Oslo Road, kept it active and is ready to go into building, so that property was excluded. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. There were none. Commissioner Bird inquired if we followed all the normal procedures of advertising, etc., and Chief Planner Shearer confirmed that notice was sent to everyone on the Property Appraiser's list, and they only had one person 22 BOOK Ft,,UE897 L AUG 1 1984 � AUG 1 1984 Boox 57 Fa -H8 -?8 appear at the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting. They did get a number of calls, but none were opposed. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously closed the public hearing. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, to adopt Ordinance 84-46 rezoning 48.33 acres west of 27th Avenue and 1/4 mile south of Oslo road from C-1 to R-lAA. Commissioner Wodtke asked if 48.33 acres is correct rather than 51, and Chief Planner Shearer stated that it was; they had to exclude 3 acres, but those acres can be included in the proposed new node. Mrs. Shirley Brown entered the meeting late and wished to speak in opposition to the rezoning. Mrs. Brown informed the Board that she paid a commercial price for her property which is located nearly at the County line close to Lakewood Park and about two lots from the Zippy Mart. She purchased this property from Mr. Sharkey about five years ago and had .plans to build a nice little restaurant on it. Mrs. Brown believed that her property would lose most of its value if it were rezoned to residential. Director Keating reported that Mr. Sharkey did appear and speak about this at the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting. Commissioner Bird felt it might be premature to leave that spot of commercial in there at this time, but noted that if Mrs. Brown comes up with a bona fide use for her property as that area develops, she can always come back to the Commission and request that it be rezoned. 23 Commissioner Wodtke commented that although we are looking at the whole of Indian River County, we should take into account that there are a lot of homes very near to this area which are in St. Lucie County. He asked if there is a neighborhood node there. Chief Planner Shearer stated that there is, but noted that Lucinda Eddy came in with a rezoning request for her four acres in this area and the Planning & Zoning Commission has recommended approval, which would make the node about 7 acres. Including Mrs. Brown's property which is further away, would exceed the eight acres set for neighborhood nodes. Commissioner Wodtke asked if Mrs. Brown was antici- pating moving forward with her plans to build a restaurant in the next year or two, and she stated that she was not. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. 24 AUG 1 1984 BOOK 57 Fa,ESj9 AUG 1 1984 BOOK 7'1-1f riL.

Keating, AI Planning & Development Director C�� FROM: Arthur Challacombe REFERENCES: Rec/Landscp. Chief, Environmental Planning DIS:MISC1 It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of August 1, 1984. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: In response to concerns from the development community, Plan- ning staff has assessed the County's existing landscape ordi- nance and has prepared a draft ordinance with several major modifications. The draft ordinance is the result of research prepared by staff and public input gathered from'two advertised workshop meetings. On June 28, 1983, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the proposed ordinance. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: The analysis prepared by staff was based upon the concerns raised by the public. Most of these concerns focused upon the interior tree requirements of the present ordinance'as well as other landscape regulations. To evaluate the County's current ordinance in relation to other jurisdictions, comparisons of at least fifteen landscape ordinances from south and central Florida were examined in the following areas: 1) interior tree and landscape requirements for parking areas and non -vehicular open space; 2) perimeter tree and landscape requirements for abutting properties and rights-of-way; 3) minimum tree height requirements; 4) existing hedge credit. These selected ordinance requirements were then compiled in a matrix for comparison and analysis. The analysis, combined with input derived from the two workshops, has produced the following proposed changes from the current landscape ordinance: 1) a definition of non -vehicular open space; 2) maintenance regarding native plant landscape areas; 3) reduction of the minimum number of tree species required on the barrier island; 4) changes in the specifications for required plant material in terms of size and time allowed for required full growth; i 27 5) a provision granting the Planning and Development Director discretion in allowing interior trees within parking areas to be placed along the parking lot perimeter; 6) removal of wording which limits the ordinance to only new construction or enlargement; 7) sight distance requirements. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed landscape ordinance. Planner Challacombe noted that it is the intent of the proposed changes to make the ordinance more standard and equitable in its application. Chairman Scurlock and Board members expressed concern about having some provision in the ordinance to make certain that the required plantings continue to exist as this concerns not only aesthetics, but in some cases, erosion control. Planning Director Keating reported that the ordinance requires that the landscaping be maintained. Staff does not go out and check this on a regular basis, however, but does act on it if it is brought to their attention that the required landscaping is not in place. Assistant County Attorney Paull quoted a provision that calls for "maintenance in a good condition so as to present a healthy, neat and orderly appearance, kept free from refuse and debris." He felt possibly we could improve on that by specifying the same number of plants required by the site plan, and noted there is also a provision that addresses irrigation. Planner Challacombe informed the Board that this is one item staff was extremely concerned with. The old ordinance only required an adequate irrigation system, and staff felt there had to be a certain spacing for the irrigation system to provide adequate water; they did not want to get down to specifying type, however. W-1 AUG 1 1984 BOOK Q -i7 ��,c83 p AUG 1 1984 BOOK 57 F':GF 831 Chairman Scurlock believed if you can get past that first year after planting, the plants will have established a good root structure. He suggested a provision that would call for review of the site a year later. Discussion ensued as to requiring review possibly one year from the anniversary date or one growing season, etc., and Director. Keating noted that could be taken care of administratively or it could be required in the ordinance. Attorney Brandenburg suggested language the Board might want to insert after the first paragraph under B on Page 4 of the ordinance, as follows: - "All sites approved under this ordinance shall maintain landscaping at least to the minimum requirements of this ordinance as it existed at the time of site plan approval for the duration of use of this site. This provision shall be enforced through the Code Enforcement Board." Attorney Paull agreed with the wording, but suggested that it be as it existed at the time of issuance of the certificate of occupancy based on the site plan approval rather than at the time of site plan approval. Commissioner Bowman wished to know if there is a requirement that the plants be #1 stock, and Planner Challacombe confirmed that is set out on Page 5. Discussion followed regarding palm trees, and Planner Challacombe stated that the status of palm trees is exactly the same as in the existing ordinance - no more than 500 of your tree count, with the exception that if there are existing palms that exceed 50%, you will be given credit for them. The Chairman was concerned about the reasonableness of our ordinance, and did not want to put a burden on someone by requiring a particular type tree. Planner Challacombe stated that the only place where we get to anything resembling specific trees is on the barrier 29 M M island, and here they lessened the requirement for the number of varieties, but did stipulate the trees would-be salt tolerant and indigenous to barrier island conditions. Planner Challacombe then highlighted proposed changes, noting that the old ordinance had a blanket number of trees on site, but did not specifically locate them. The result was that some developers would put all the trees in a corner in a grouping and none in the parking lot area. Another inequity was that it required the same amount of trees for commercial or industrial sites as for multi -family residential. In the proposed ordinance 50 of the parking lot is to be landscaped and within every 300 sq. ft. of that, you will have a tree in the parking lot itself. In the non -vehicular open space, a graduated effect was used - a greater number of trees was required in residential sites than in industrial sites, which obviously would take up more impervious surface and require more retention. They also excluded retention ponds and lakes from that non -vehicular open space requirement. Because of our requirements with storm water management, staff did not feel it was fair to penalize the applicant twice. Commissioner Bowman asked if there is anything in the proposed ordinance that will prevent us from having another Luria's Plaza with a barren parking lot, and Planning Director Keating believed that one thing that will help is that the interior landscaping is to be located so that it divides and breaks up the expanse of parking. Commissioner Wodtke noted that basically this ordinance would be triggered at the request for a site plan, and he was concerned that the Planning & Zoning Commission is the Board which will hear any appeal of the landscape requirements since they are the same Board which will be approving the site plan. 30 AUG 1 1984 BooK 57 F" E835 AUG 1 1984 BOOK 57 F' jE 836 Assistant County Attorney Paull explained that the appeal that is referred to in here is a preliminary step, similar to what you would do when you appeal to the Board of Adjustments. He did not feel the fact that the Planning & Zoning Commission is hearing an appeal on the substantive requirements of the ordinance creates a conflict because the ultimate appeal regarding site plan approval is to the Board of County Commissioners. Commissioner Wodtke continued to express concern because the Planning & Zoning Commission is advised by the Planning staff, and if this goes back and forth between them and the staff, he felt they will end up making the same decision that staff recommends. Commissioner Wodtke questioned if this might not be a cumbersome process and possibly there should be somewhere else to address this. Attorney Paull noted that the idea is to save the. applicant from having to go through the further step of going to a separate board, and Attorney Brandenburg con- firmed that the intent is to streamline the procedure so that the applicant does not have to go through two procedures at one time and have to explain the problem all over again in front of a different Board. Commissioner Lyons noted that this actually is a tool for the Planning & Zoning Commission which gives them an opportunity to have a variance. Chairman Scurlock was of the opinion that we should go along with the proposed ordinance and then review it to see how it functions. Attorney Brandenburg suggested for these variances that we refer specifically to the Board of Adjustment's criteria so there would be no mistake as to what standards the Plan- ning & Zoning Commission are going to apply, and Attorney Paull agreed. 31 M Commissioner Bird inquired about the financial effect of the proposed changes on proposed development projects. Planner Challacombe believed they actually should create additional money in the developer's pocket because less trees are required. Planning Keating noted that one of the major complaints with the current ordinance is that our interior tree requirement is unrealistic. He believed most of the people in the development community feel the proposed ordinance is much more workable, and he agreed that it would be a lessening of cost to the developer. Commissioner Wodtke wished to know if transplant of a living tree would fulfill the requirements for #1 grade plants, and Planner Challacombe clarified that #1 material is that which is balled and commercial stock. Commissioner Wodtke asked if the ordinance requires that everything is bought from a nursery, and Mr. Challacombe stated that it does not; it does require juvenile plants come from nursery stock, but cabbage palms, etc., it is better to get from natural habitat. Chairman Scurlock believed that in most cases you will see landscape designers specifying that plants be #1 grade. Commissioner Bird asked why you can't put a cabbage palm from the west of town on the barrier island, and Mr. Challacombe explained that it would not be salt resistant. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. There were none. Chairman Scurlock felt the fact that no one was present to present objections demonstrated the fact that the workshops do help to resolve these problems.

Such native plant material receiving a credit must be maintained in substantially the quantity and locations approved until such time as site modi- fications are approved which meet the intent of this ordinance. SECTION 7. LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS FOR OFF-STREET PARKING & OTHER VEHICULAR USE AREAS. A. Required Landscaping adjacent to public rights - of way. G on the site of a building or open lot providing an off-street parking area, where such area will not be entirely screened visually by an intervening building or structure from any abutting right-of-way, excluding dedicated alleys, there shall be provided landscaping between such area and such right-of-way as follows: (1) A strip of land at least ten (10 ) feet in depth located between the abutting right-of-way and the off-street parking area which is exposed to an abutting right-of-way shall be landscaped, such landscaping to include one tree for each forty (40) lineal feet or fraction thereof. Such trees shall be located between the abutting right-of-way and off- street parking area, and shall be planted in a planting area of at least twenty-five (25) square feet with a minimum of the dimensions being at least five (5) feet. In addition, a hedge, wall, fence or other durable landscape barrier of at least two (2) feet in height shall be maintained along the perimeter of such landscaped strip. If such durable barrier is of nonliving material, at each ten (10) feet thereof, one shrub or vine shall be planted abutting such barrier, but need not be spaced ten (10) feet apart. Such shrubs or vines shall be planted along the street side of such barrier unless they are of sufficient height at the time of planting to be readily'vlsible over the top of such barrier. The remainder of the required landscaped areas shall be landscaped with grass, ground cover or other landscape treatment excluding paving. (2) All non -vehicular open space other than the required landscaped strip lying between the right-of-way and off-street parking area shall be landscaped as provided in section 8 of this ordinance. (3) Necessary accessways from the public right-of-way through all such landscaping areas shall be permitted to service the parking, and such accessways may be subtracted from the lineal dimension used to determine the number of trees required. 7 AUG 1 1984 800K 7 SAGE 845 BOOK 57 F,SE'846. B. Perimeter landscaping relating to abutting properties; exemption. (1) On the site of a building or structure or open lot use providing an off-street parking area where such areas will not be entirely screened visually by an intervening building or structure from abutting property, that portion of such area not so screened shall be provided with a hedge or other durable landscape barrier maintained at not greater than six (6) feet in height nor less than three (3) feet in height to form a continuous screen between the off-street parking area and such abutting property. Such landscaped barrier shall be located between the common lot line and the off-street parking area, and shall be planted in a planting strip no less than four (4) feet in width. In addition, one tree shall be provid- ed for each fifty (50) lineal feet of such landscape barrier or fractional part thereof. Such trees shall be located between the common lot line and the off-street parking area. Each such tree shall be planted in at least twenty-five (25) square feet of planting area with a minimum dimension of at least five (5) feet. Each such planting area shall be landscaped -with grass, ground cover or other landscape material, excluding paving, in addition to the required tree. (2) The provisions of subsection (1) above shall not be applicable in the following situations: (a) When a property line abuts a dedicated alley, or to those portions of the property that are opposite a building or other structure located on the abutting property; (b) Where the subject property and abutting property are zoned or used for nonresidential uses, only the tree pro- vision with its planting area as prescribed in this subsection shall be required; however, the number of trees may be reduced to one tree for every one hundred twenty-five (125) lineal feet or fraction thereof. C. Parking Area Interior Landscaping. For Off-street parking, an area or areas equal to at 0 M least five (5) percent of the total paved area shall be provid- ed with interior landscaping. Each separate landscaped area shall contain a minimum of twenty-five (25) square feet and shall have a minimum dimension of at least five (5) feet and shall include at least one (1) tree having a clear trunk of at least five (5) feet, with the remaining area adequately land- scaped with shrubs, ground cover or other authorized landscap- ing material not to exceed three (3) feet in height. The total number of trees shall not be less than one (1) for each three hundred (300) square feet or fraction thereof of required interior landscaped area. Such landscaped areas shall be located in such a manner as to divide and break up the expanse of paving. When, upon the request of the developer and in the opinion of the Planning & Development Director, the placing of all required interior trees would create an impractical landscape effect, a portion of the required interior trees may be placed along the perimeter of the parking area to satisfy this -requirement. D. Encroachment. Landscape areas shall require protection from vehicu- lar encroachment. Car stops shall be placed at least three (3) feet from the edge of such landscaped areas. Where a wheel stop or curb is utilized, the paved area between the curb/wheel stop and the end of the parking space may be omitted, provided it is landscaped in addition to the required landscaping provided. Car stops shall be located so as to prevent damage to any planting areas by automobiles. E. Site Distance for Landscaping Adjacent to Roadways and Points of Access. (1) All landscape plans submitted hereunder shall meet the minimum sight distance requirements established herein, as viewed from the perspective of the driver of a vehicle leaving the project premises onto the abutting public or private roadway. AUG 1 1984 BOOK 57 FACE847 r - AUG 1 1994 Boa 5 7 uc,E 848 (2) Crossing Maneuver. The sight distance required for the safe execution of a crossing maneuver is dependent upon the acceleration capabil- ities of the vehicle, the crossing distance, and the design speed of the street or highway to be crossed. The minimum required sight distance in both directions, measured from the centerline of the roadway being entered to the initial position of the vehicle before the crossing (as shown on Figure #1) for various classes of vehicles shall be as stated in Tables #1 and #2, which follow. Table #1 or #2 shall be applied as the case may be, depending upon whether a given vehicle class consti- tutes five percent or more of the total crossing traffic, or if that class experiences 30 or more crossings per day. A devel- oper shall provide sufficient information on the nature of vehicles using the project to substantiate which class of vehicle table is being incorporated into the landscaping plan. (3) Assumptions. The vehicle offset shall be assumed to be at least ten feet from the nearest pavement edge. The setback required for site distance shall be at least five feet greater than the vehicle offset, as reflected in Figure #1. (4) All landscaping shall be installed and main- tained in a manner which provides unobstructed visibility within the sight distance area calculated hereunder, at a level between two -and -one-half feet and ten feet above grade; provid- ed, however, trees or palms having limbs or foliage trimmed in such a manner that no limbs or foliage extend into the visibil- ity area shall be allowed, provided they are so located so as not to create a traffic hazard. Other landscaping, except required grass or ground cover, shall not be located closer than three feet from the edge of any access -way pavement. (5) Left -Turn Crossings. Sight distance for left -turn crossings shall be measured in the same manner as provided for crossing maneuvers. On median separated roadways, sight distance to the left may be based upon the sight distance required for a two-lane road. 10 1711 TABLE 1 DESIGN VEHICLES: PASSENGER CAR, SINGLE UNIT TRUCK, SINGLE UNIT BUS SIGHT DISTANCE SPEED TWO LANE FOUR LANE 30 or less 375 500 35 425 575 40 500 650 45 550 700 50 600 750 55 675 900 TABLE 2 DESIGN VEHICLE: SEMI -TRAILER COMBINATION; INTERMEDIATE, AND LARGE SIGHT DISTANCE SPEED TWO LANE FOUR LANE 30 or less 550 650 35 640 750 40 725 850 45 800 950 50 900 1050 55 975 1200 AUG 1 . 1984 11 BOOK 5 7 par 849 AUG 1 1984 BOOK 57 FA -U.0750 SECTION 8.

The Planning and Zoning Commission will not approve any landscape plan unless it conforms to the requirements of this ordinance, and is submitted for site plan approval under Section 23 of the Zoning Ordinance [Appendix A], if required. B. Landscape plans submitted pursuant to this ordinance shall be drawn to scale, including dimensions and distance, and clearly delineate the existing and proposed parking spaces, access aisles, driveways, and the location, size and description of all landscape materials including the method of watering and maintaining the landscape area. C. Certificate of occupancy. No final certificate of occupancy shall be given or issued to the owner or his agent until all conditions of this ordinance have been met and the Code Enforcement official has given an approval. However, a temporary certificate of occu- pancy may be issued in those instances where all improvements on a site except landscaping have been completed, where power is required for the irrigation system, and where the developer of the project certifies in writing that the required landscap- ing for the project will be installed as depicted on the plan and provides a timetable for installation of the landscaping.

Ro k M. Keati Ag, AYCP Planning & Development Director a� THROUGH: Mary Jane V. Goetzfried Chief, Current Development Section FROM: Karen M. Craver REFERENCES: ROW Aban Staff Planner �`, DIS:KAREN It is requested that the data herein presented.be given formal consideration by the Board of County -Commissioners at their regular meeting of August 1, 1984. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: Throughout the past year, the County Attorney's Office and the Public Works Division have been working with the property owners along a portion of 2nd Street. The owners requested that the County initiate the abandonment of that portion of 2nd Street which curves northwesterly from the intersection of 2nd Street and 16th Avenue to 17th Avenue (see attachment #2). The petitioners cited -excessive traffic and speed as the _reasons for the request. On April 6,•1983, the County Commission approved a similar request to abandon the curved portion of 3rd Street, between 18th and 19th Avenues. In accordance with the administrative guidelines approved by the Board of County Commissioners -for the processing of right-of-way abandonment applications, the request -was reviewed by all County Divisions and utility providers having jurisdic- tion within the right-of-way. All County divisions approved the abandonment and Southern Be'll' and Florida Power and Light requested that easements be retained for their existing facilities. The attached resolution provides for the retention of said easements. The Planning staff concurs with the peti- tioners' belief that the roadway 'creates a hazardous traffic situation and, in light of the aforementioned abandonment of 3rd Street, feels that the request should be approved. Due to the curved nature of the street, a small triangular- shaped parcel, located at the northeast corner of 2nd Street and 17th Avenue, was created at the time of platting. The County has received.a Quit -Claim Deed from the developer to ensure that no question arises regarding ownership once the County discontinues its current policy of maintaining the parcel as a park. The 4 property owners and the County have agreed upon the final configuration of the lots following the abandonment of the right-of-way. The, County -owned parcel, together with a portion of the abandoned .right-of-way, will constitute a totally new lot. The 4 lots now abutting the right-of-way shall increase in varying degrees. The property owners and the County have all executed Quit -Claim Deeds to each other to eliminate any questions of who owns what after the abandonment. The deeds, currently being held in escrow, will be released following approval of the abandonment. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the petition to abandon that portion of 2nd Street which curves northwesterly from the intersection of 2nd Street and 16th Avenue to 17th Avenue. 35 1 BOOK. �7 AUG 1984 -I AUG 1 1984 Boa FJOE 56 Planner Craver summarized that Public Works initiated this action when they were approached by the property owners who felt that the right-of-way led to excessive traffic and speed in this area. The abandonment would result in the creation of a new lot, which would be owned by the county, and enlargement of four lots. The easements have been retained. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. There were none. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously closed the public hearing. Attorney Brandenburg stated that he would like the Motion re the abandonment to include putting the new lot up for sale and earmarking funds from its sale for park development. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously adopted Resolution 84-53 abandoning that portion of 2nd Street which curves north- westerly from the intersection of 2nd Street and 16th Avenue to 17th Avenue and authorized staff to put the newly created County lot up for sale, the funds derived from the sale to be earmarked for park development. 36 RESOLUTION NO. 84-53 RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, PROVIDING FOR THE CLOSING, ABANDONMENT, AND VACATION OF THAT PORTION OF SECOND STREET, CURVING NORTHWESTERLY FROM THE INTERSECTION OF SECOND STREET AND 16TH AVENUE TO 17TH AVENUE, LOCATED IN INDIAN RIVER HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION, UNIT 3, AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED HEREIN -AND RESERVING UNTO THE COUNTY A UTILITY EASEMENT. WHEREAS, following inquiries from members of the public, the County Public Works Department has initiated a Petition to close, vacate, abandon, and disclaim any right, title, and interest of the County in and to a certain portion of Second Street, lying between 16th and 17th Avenues, more fully described below in Exhibit "A," and depicted on the sketch attached hereto; and WHEREAS, in accordance with Florida Statutes, Section 336.10, notice of a public hearing to consider this matter has been duly published; and WHEREAS, after consideration of the request, supporting . documents, staff investigation and report, and testimony of all those interested and present at the Hearing, the Board finds that. said right of way is not a State or Federal highway, nor located within any municipality, nor is said right of way necessary for continuity of the County's street and thoroughfare network; and WHEREAS, a portion of said right of way should be retained as a public Drainage and Utility Easement; and WHEREAS, said right of way is not necessary for access to any given private property, provided an appropriate distribution of the abandoned right of way is made and agreed to among all parties concerned, for which deeds have been executed and delivered in escrow to the County pending a final determination on the abandonment.

TO: The Honorable Members of DATE: July 25, 1984 FILE: The Board of County Commissioners THRU: Michael Wright County Administrator 407 0 FROM: Terrance G. Pinto Utility Director SUBJECT: ROYALE GARDEN VILLAGE VISTA GARDENS WASTEWATER ALLOCATIO REFERENCES: DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: Mr. John LyonK has requested County wastewater service from the Vista Gardens wastewater plant for the Royale Garden Village site plan located at the old site of the WAXE radio station. At Mr. Lyons expense, Carter and Associates performed an evaluation of the Gardens Plant and determined that there would be sufficient capacity within the plant to service the site plan at.buildout of the Vista Gardens development. The evaluation also addressed alter- natives fo-i expanding the Vista Gardens plant if future expansion of the plant become necessary to accomodate future flows. According to the evaluation, Mr. Lyons proposed development would generate approximately 15000 gallons per day of wastewater, while the Vista plant would have 18000 gallons per day of flow available at buildout of the Vista Gardens service area. ANALYSES: It is the opinion of staff, based upon the evaluation prepared by Carter and Associates, that the Vista Gardens wastewater plant can service Mr. Lyons project and have sufficient capacity to satisfactorily service the Vista Gardens development at buildout. In the event problems were encountered in providing adequate service in the future, the plant can be readily expanded. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the Division of Utility Services to provide the requested wastewater service to Mr. Lyons Royale Gardens Village site plan via the Vista Gardens wastewater treatment plant. This approval should be subject to the following conditions: 1. Mr. Lyons must construct the lift station and a 6 inch force main as necessary to obtain service from the Vista Gardens facility. He must also obtain all necessary utility easements for accomo- dating the lift station and associated force main. 41 2. fir. Lyons must pay all required connection and impact fees. 3. A bond or appropriate funding should be provided to expand the Vista Gardens wastewater plant if, as a result of the flows from the subject project, an expansion of the Vista Garden facility becomes necessary to accomodate future flows at buildout of Vista Garden. Staff feels the bond or appropriate funding is necessary since the county, through agreements, is committed to provide adequate service to the Vista Gardens development at buildout. 4. If an alternative means of effluent disposal becomes available to Mr. Lyons prior to completing construction of the site plan, I the alternative must be implemented rather than utilizing the I Vista Gardens facility. Director Pinto explained that what we have is someone who is building on Route 1. His property is adjacent to two existing sewerage treatment plants - one at Vista Gardens where we feel there is some capacity that can be utilized even though we do have a commitment when.the plant is turned over to us that it has to accommodate Vista Properties total build -out. He noted that the alternatives are what concerns staff, i.e., one alternative being to wait until the final master plan is completed and the build -out of Vista properties. If this means construction of another treatment plant, staff feels the best alternative for the County is to utilize the plants we have to the very maximum. Mr. Pinto felt strongly that any plant that is near capacity, we would not want to have people buy up and reserve capacity, but rather that the capacity should be available for whoever is ready to build, has site plans, etc. Commissioner Wodtke stated that he did feel it is logical that those who are closest to the plant should connect. Chairman Scurlock agreed and emphasized that we must have a consistent, well thought-out, firm policy, and proximity should be one of the considerations. Discussion ensued re our commitment to reserve enough capacity for the build -out of Vista Properties, both residential and commercial, and Utilities Director Pinto 42 AUG 11994 Boa `� PnE 86 -I AUG 1 1994 BOOK 57 P�,,,F.86 noted that there is a provision that this particular plant can be increased in capacity another 100,000 gallons. The question of easements then arose, and Director Pinto emphasized that it is Mr. Lyon's responsibility to obtain those easements and make them available. Discussion continued at length with the Board emphasizing the importance of consistency and of reserv- ing capacity for those who are ready to go, and Chairman Scurlock suggested the following requirements: 1) proximity and engineering reasonableness; 2) existing site plan and permits; 3) additional capacity available; 4) all improvements necessary to effect service to be borne by applicant; and 5) ability to develop the property. The Chairman believed that Mr. Lyon could not get site plan approval because he does not have sufficient area to build with a package plant, but Director Pinto noted that Mr. Lyon could reduce the size of his project accordingly. Chairman Scurlock then questioned how you would decide between two properties that met all the requirements. Utility Director Pinto felt it would be whoever made application first and had a site plan as he believed the key is that it must be closer to reality than just an applica- tion and a dream. Other -development in the area was brought up, and Mr. Pinto believed that the Schlitt property has purchased a commitment to the City of Vero Beach. Mecca Convalescent Home and Oslo Square are looking at a site plan based on construction of a treatment plant, but Mr. Pinto stated that we are going to try very hard to find a system for them to go into. Commissioner Bird commented that the engineering report indicated 18,000 gallons of capacity still available at 43 L, total build -out of Vista Properties, and Mr. Lyon is requesting 15,000, which he felt seems a little close. Mr. Pinto explained that the engineering figures are based on the maximum build -out of Vista Properties, assuming they built on every part they could build on, and the 15,000 requested by Mr. Lyon is based on maximum flow. Chairman Scurlock inquired if there is anything that indemnifies the county in the event we do exceed capacity, and Mr. Pinto informed the Board that we are asking that a bond be posted that if we did reach capacity because of prior commitment, then the applicant would have to bear the total cost of whatever modifications are needed to accommodate his flow. The Board continued to go over all facets of the situation - possible increase of plant capacity, impact on the residents from connection of the Lyon's property as opposed to the impact of his building another plant in this same area, making maximum use of existing capacity, etc. It was generally agreed that from a business point of view it makes sense to utilize all capacity and also noted that the Board has been consistent in trying to discourage further package treatment plants. Chairman Scurlock discussed a possible Motion and felt basically what we are doing is identifying that there is excess capacity and that it has been documented that we are going to render service to the subject property based on (1) uniqueness, (2) the proximity, (3) engineering feasibility, (4) the applicant being responsible for all necessary improvements and in some way indemnifying us, and (5) timeliness of the application and site plan and a building permit being pulled. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, to authorize 44 BOOK FAPUE � � r - AUG 1 1984 Bou 5 7 FACE 866 staff to move ahead and draft a memo setting out the criteria by which we have identified this particular property, owned by John Lyon, to receive service from the Vista Gardens plant; this criteria to be consistent for connection to any county wastewater facility. Attorney Brandenburg questioned how you would require the applicant to "bite the bullet" if the plant does go over capacity, and if, for instance, the property has been sold in the meantime. Director Pinto explained we would calculate the cost of an expansion, and the applicant would put up either cash or a bond to guarantee that cost until we determine the expansion is or is not necessary; whether the property is sold or not would not enter into it. Commissioner Bird wished the Attorney to confirm that we have the ability to use this excess capacity, and Attorney Brandenburg assured him that we do as long as we give Vista the capacity they need as they build. Commissioner Lyons asked Mr. Lyon if he had any comment to make. John Lyon, developer, came before the Board and confirmed that he could downsize his project and build a package plant, but he did not believe anyone would be happy with that solution. He believed what the Commission is proposing makes sense, and he further believed that eventually there will be a sewer line down U.S.1. Commissioner Lyons asked if Mr. Lyon had any objections to what has been proposed by the Utility Director, and Mr. Lyon stated that he did.net, but he would prefer to put up a bond rather than cash. r THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. 45 I Commissioner Lyons asked if there is anything that could be done now to help Mr. Lyon along with his project as we are coming back with a policy to be approved. Director Keating believed that actually the Board has approved Mr. Lyon's connection with the plant, and with that approval, he has satisfied all site plan requirements and will be on the agenda of the next P&Z meeting. PETITION PAVING - 39TH AVE. BET. 10TH & 12TH STS. AND 11TH AVE. BET. 2ND & 4TH STS. Public Works Director Davis reviewed staff memo and recommendation, as follows: TO: The Honorable Members of ®ATE: Jul 18, 1984 FILE: the Board of County Commissioners y THROUGH: Michael Wright, County Administrator SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Consider Resolution Providing for the Pavinj of 39th Avenue between 10th. & 12th Streets and 11th Avenue between 2nd and 4th Streets and to Consider Preliminary Assessment Rolls FROM: James W. Davis, P.E. REFERENCES: Public Works Directo , DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Valid petitions have been received from at least 66.70 of the property owners of the following streets 1) 39th Avenue between 10th and 12th Streets (Preliminary cost $22,864.00) 66.7% Consenting 2) 11th Avenue between 2nd and 4th Streets (Preliminary cost $24,070.00)70% Consenting Preliminary assessment rolls have been prepared for the paving and drainage improvements. The total costs of these projects is approximately $46,934.00. There is approximately $218,409.46 in the FY 83-84 budget for Petition Paving Account No. 703-214- 541-35.39. Also, advertisement of the Public Hearing and notifications to the property owners has been performed. RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING After consideration of the public input provided at the Public Hearing, it is recommended that motions be made to AUG 1 1984 L- 46 P(iiiK e v PAISF 867 I AUG 1 1994 Bou, 57 PPF 868 1) adopt resolutions, providing for the paving and drainage improvements for each petition_ paving project, subject to the terms outlined in the Resolutions. The applicable interest rate shall be 1% over the prime rate at the time the final assessment roll is approved. 2) approve preliminary assessment rolls including any changes made as a result of the Public Hearing. 3) allocate $46,934 from the Petition Paving account to fund this work. 4) the Road and Bridge Division be notified to schedule con- struction, probably in early 1985. Director Davis reported that staff held a meeting with the block residents to explain the project. He informed the Board that there was an error in the preliminary assessment roll on 39th Avenue. James and Madeline Gaskell own two lots, 12 and 13, but in the letter that was sent out, we only informed them that they had been assessed for one lot. Their assessment, therefore, would be twice what was shown on the Roll. The Dixons, who own Lot 14, were assessed for two lots, and their assessment will be half the amount of which they were informed. Director Davis apologized to.the Gaskells and Dixons, for these mistakes; he explained that these numbers will be reversed on the roll, and this does not affect the validity of the roll. The Gaskells and Dixons concurred with the statement made by Mr. Davis as to the ownership of lots. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard re 39th Avenue. Mrs. Madeline Gaskell, 1025 39th Avenue, had some questions for the engineer. She noted that from 12th Street to 39th Avenue, it is very dangerous and narrow with a deep ditch. The entrance to 38th Avenue has been widened and improved with cement bags. She wished to know if this will be done on 39th Avenue. Public Works Director Davis confirmed that the entrance to 39th Avenue will be improved and headwalls put on the end of the culvert. 47 Mrs. Gaskell also wished to know if there will be a culvert under 12th Street rather than a ditch turning the corner. Director Davis explained that drainage in that area has to run from south to north and we would like to cut around the corner and use one culvert to serve two streets - halfway between 38th and 39th Avenues. There is a back lot easement there. If we don't do it that way, we would have to keep the drainage out front. James Gaskell noted that on 38th Avenue there is a ditch on one side where the culverts go, and he wished to know if the ditch will be just on one side of 39th Avenue. Director Davis stated that the drainage for 39th Avenue will be different than for 38th as we were working with some existing conditions on 38th Avenue where some of the people had driveways in county right-of-way and we did not want to rip all that out; we felt we could live with the existing conditions. He informed Mr. Gaskell that he has the road design upstairs and would be glad to show him exactly what it will look like. Mrs. Gaskell then expressed concern about the depth of the ditches on 38th Avenue. Public Works Director Davis explained that project isn't completed, and our crews still have to do some finishing work. He pointed out, however, that to get the water to run from 10th to 12th St., we must establish a gradient so the water will flow. He believed the deepest is about 21, but this is necessary because land in Florida is so flat. He further noted that some of the residents elect to purchase additional culverts for their frontage, and we will work with them; a 20' length costs about $120.00 - $6 a foot. The Chairman determined that no one else wished to be heard. 48 AUG 1 1984 BDDK 5 7 PACT 889 -I AUG 1 1984 PooK 17 P,+rE 8` o ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously closed the hearing on 39th Avenue.

SC[JRLOCK, JR. 51 Chairman Chairman Scurlock requested that the Public works Director explain how we set priorities to do this paving, and Mr. Davis went over their schedule, noting that they are scheduled to February of 1986 based on one project a month, which is conservative. They have about 18 projects and they go down the list as they are assigned; projects are added as they come in and priorities do not change. Right now this particular project is planned for October of 1984. Chairman Scurlock asked if the residents can contract with an outside contractor if they do not wish to wait for the county to do the work, and Director Davis confirmed that option is certainly there, but the cost will escalate. The Chairman opened the public hearing on the petition paving of 11th Avenue between 2nd and 4th Streets and asked if anyone present wished to be heard. There were none. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously adopted Resolution 84-55 providing for the paving and drainage improvements for 11th Avenue between 2nd and 4th Sts; the applicable interest rate to be to over the prime rate at the time the final assessment roll is approved.
