of the Board of County
Commissioners
DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: PLAT EXTENSION REQUEST
• FOR WOOD HOLLOW SUBDJVI-.
SUBJECT: SION
Robert M. Keating, &TCP
Planning & Development Director
—Al THROUGH: Mary Jane V. Goetzfried
/ Chief, Current Development Section
FROM: Clare Z. Poupard ap REFERENCES: _Wood Hollow
Staff Planner u DIS:CLARE
It is requested that the information presented herein be given
formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at
their regular meeting on August 8, 1984.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
Wood Hollow Subdivision is located on the south side of 5th
Street S.W., west of 27th Avenue. The development is ±20.7
acres in size, and is divided into 32 lots. Each of the lots
is ±. 5 acres in size. The site is zoned R-1, Single Family
Residential (6.2 dwelling units/acre) and it has a LD -1, Low
Density Residential (3 dwelling units/acre) land use desig-
nation. The project's building density is 1.5 dwelling
units/acre.
The subdivision received preliminary plat approval on May 4,
1984. Phase I of Wood Hollow received final plat approval on
February 8, 1983. This phase consists of the western sixteen
lots in the subdivision. However, Phase II of Wood Hollow
subdivision has not yet received final plat approval. The
preliminary plat approval granted to the subdivision is
scheduled to expire on November 4, 1984. The applicants are
requesting an 18 month extension of preliminary plat approval
for the second phase of the development.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS:
The County's Subdivision Ordinance 75-3- (the ordinance which
this subdivision was approved under) states:
"The approval of the Board shall have full force and
effect for a period of 18 months from the date of ap-
proval. An extension may be granted by the Board."
Historically, the Board has granted one, 18 month, extension of
plat approval to applicants who request it.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant
an 18 month extension of preliminary plat approval to Wood
Hollow Subdivision, Phase II.

B. Approval of Final Assessment Roll, 10th Court from 2nd
St. to South Relief Canal, and 11th Court from 4th St. to

the Board of County Commissioners
THROUGH: Michael Wright, County Administrator
SUBJECT: Final Assessment Roll
10th Court - 2nd Street to South
Relief Canal
11th Court - 4th Street to South
Relief Canal
FROM: James W. Davis, P.E. REFERENCES:
Public Works Director
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITION
The paving of 10th Court and 11th Court is complete. The final
cost and preliminary estimate for the work was (NIC recording
fees) :
Final Cost/FF Prelim.Cost/FF Final Cost Prelim. Estimate
10th Court $3.8785 $7.46 $9,633.61 $18,888.00
11th Court $6.2256 $7.09 $38,563.58 $44,276.00
All construction costs are under the original estimates. The
Final Assessment Rolls have been prepared and are ready to be
delivered to the Clerk to the Board. Assessments are to be paid
within 90 days or in two equal installments, the first to be
made twelve months from the due date and the second to be made
twenty-four months from the due date at the rate of interest
established by the Board of County Commissioners. The due date
is 90.days after the final determination bf the special assessment.
The interest rate shall be 1% over the Prime Rate or 13%.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
Since.the final assessment to the benefited owners will be less
than computed on the preliminary assessment rolls, the only
alternative presented is to approve the final assessment rolls.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
It is recommended that the Final Assessment Rolls for the paving
of 10th Court and 11th Court be approved by the Board of County
Commissioners and that they be transmitted to the Office of the
Clerk to the Board for collection.

Administrator Wright explained that he had requested
this item be removed from the Consent Agenda because of the
change in the interest rate. He advised that the interest
rate would be 14% instead of the 13% stated in the above
memo.
Chairman Scurlock suggested that the interest rate be
one point over whatever the prime rate is on the particular
day a final assessment roll is approved.
.ON MOTION of Commissioner Bird,
SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board
unanimously approved the Final Assessment
Roll for the paving of 10th Court from 2nd St. to
South Relief Canal, and 11th Court from 4th St. to
South Relief Canal, at 14% interest rate per
annum, as recommended by the Public Works
Director.

The Housing Authority would like the Board of County Commissioners to reappropriate
these funds to pay salaries for people already on the payroll on a temporary nature.
This would give them an extended period of employment to participate in the origoing

Dear Mr. Scurlock:
The Housing Authority Board is appreciative of the faith and
assistance the County Commission has shown in our efforts to
provide needed housing. We are happy that we can report progress.
The Department of Community Affairs has funded the purchase
of a site for the Victory Park Housing Project. We now have title
to the land, and the Farmers Home Administration has approved the
site. We are in the process of selecting an architectural firm to
continue with the planning and funding of this project.
In the course of closing the mortgage loan for the Victory
Park Project, we will recapture some of the expenses incurred.
The specific breakdown is attached as Schedule B. The total
reimbursement will be $11,761.56.
The Housing Authority Board has approved returning to the
County this $11,761.56. We have already sent the first check of
$4,018.51 to the accounting department. We enclose our check of
$7,000 herewith. The balance of the monies will be returned to
the County when they come down from the State.
The Housing Authority Board requests that you reallocate
these monies to our board and specifically to the salary account
of the Housing Authority for several reasons.
The rehabilitation program has been -implemented by adding a
rehabilitation consultant to our staff (we now have 15 active
rehabilitation cases in the Wabasso area); however, because the
Farmers Home Administration is short-staffed at this time and
7
there is a delay in processing our applications, we are using
this consultant to help out on the Treasure Coast Village project
while our regular staff works on Victory Park.
In order to keep Treasure Coast Village and the rehabilita-
tion projects moving forward, we need this man; and in a short
time when we really get involved with Victory Park, we will need
even more help.
With the reallocation of the above listed funds and with
your continued faith and assistance in our efforts, we will be
able to increase our services and activities for our County.
Sincerely,
D hne K,VtOckland
Chairman
OMB Director Barton summarized the information
contained in the above memo and letter, and stated that
approval of this budget amendment would not affect next
year's budget. He informed the Board that the Housing
Authority has the need to clean up some of the accounts on
their books and they are asking the Board to reallocate this
money so that they can continue to employ Guy Decker and
some of the people who have been on their books as temporary
employees. The bottom line in this situation is that the
Housing Authority cannot finish the fiscal year with the
present number of employees. He advised that Mr. Decker
was first hired as a consultant on the rehabilitation
program, but he is currently helping out on the Treasure
Coast Village and Victory Park projects while waiting for
the paperwork to come through on the rehabilitation project.
Commissioner Bird understood then that the Housing
Authority needs this money to finish Mr. Decker's employment
for this fiscal year and that this position is budgeted for
next year.
Chairman Scurlock wanted his position made very clear
that he did not want the proposed 6% salary increase for the
0

next fiscal year to be
applied to someone who has
been
reclassified, and that policy was to apply to all
departments. He pointed out that Ed Regan was reclassified
under the Cody Report.
Daphne K. Strickland, Chairman of the Indian River
County Housing Authority, felt there has been a lack of
communication between this Board and the Housing Board, and
she hoped that this will change in the next few months as
they plan to notify the Commission of their current projects
and their future plans.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons,
SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board
by a vote of 4-1, Chairman Scurlock dissenting,
approved the above budget amendment as recommended
by OMB Director Barton.
Chairman Scurlock did not feel that we had succeeded in
moving any people out of slum housing because he believed
that most of the low cost housing was occupied by middle
income families. He stressed that the money should go where
it is most needed.
Mrs. Strickland felt that the Housing Authority had
gained much experience through these two projects. The
Commissioners, however, felt that it was very expensive
experience.
Chairman Scurlock advised Mrs. Strickland that he would
support low-cost housing for low-income families, but he
would never support housing for middle-income families.
Commissioner Wodtke felt that we should consider the
possibility of low-cost housing being built by the private
sector to provide homes for low-income families and perhaps
even middle-income families who have a difficult time
(qualifying for mortgages.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT — TRAFFIC IMPACT
FEE ORDINANCE
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 7/31/84:
TO: The Honorable Members of DATE: July 31, 1984 FILE:
the Board of County Commissioners
THROUGH: Michael Wright,
County Administrator
SUBJECT: Agreement for Professional Services -
Traffic Impact Fee Ordinance
FROM: James W. Davis, P. REFERENCES: Letter from Jerry T. Wentzel, P.E.,
Public Works Director Barton - Aschman Associates, Inc.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
During the April 4, 1984, regular meeting of the Board of County Commissioners,
staff was requested to negotiate an Agreement for Professional Services with
Barton-Aschman Associates (the firm selected as the first priority by the
selection committee) for the development of a Traffic Impact Fee Ordinance.
The County staff has had several meetings with the consultant to develope
the scope of work and tentative compensation.
In addition, the County Administrator has met with representatives from all
of the municipalities in the County to explain the proposed Traffic Impact
Fee concept and seek local municipal support and concurrance.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
The attached agreement contains a detailed scope of work which has been
prepared and scrutinized by many County Division heads and representatives
from various municipalities. The study phase will evaluate and model the
County's Thoroughfare Plan and road system to define existing deficiencies
and future adequacy. An analysis of the Hutchinson Island is included as
required by the Hutchinson Island Resource Plan recently adopted. These
studies, combined with Financial and Legal input, will serve as the
technical basis for development of an equitable impact fee structure.
To provide the Consultant with local guidance, staff recommends that the
following committees be designated to assist in the project:
a) Policy Committee - Transportation Planning Committee Voting Complement
This committee will act on Transportation policy
decisions such as level of service, right-of-way
planning, etc.
b) Technical Committee - Technical Complement of Transportation Planning
Committee
This committee will act on technical questions
which arise such as traffic generation rates,
intersection standards, etc.

c) Local Relations Committee composed of the following recommended repre-
sentatives:
1) Representative from Treasure Coast Builders Association (local
building industry).
2) Local developer
3) Chamber of Commerce Representative
4) Local Board of Realtor Representative
5) Vero Beach Civic Association Representative
This committee will be developed to serve as a Community minded user group
which will be active beginning in the early stages of the Impact Fee devel-
opment to address concerns and become familiar with the policies established.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
Staff recommends that:
1) the Professional Engineering Services Agreement between Barton - Aschman
Associates, Inc. and Indian River County be approved.
2) the Chairman be authorized to execute the subject agreement.
3) the establishment of the above committee be approved.
Public Works Director Jim Davis presented staff's
recommendation for approval of the agreement with Barton-
Aschman Associates, Inc. for the development of a Traffic
Impact Fee Ordinance. He recommended that three committees
be established to work with the Consultant and assist in the
development of the project.
Commissioner Wodtke suggested that instead of
specifying a representative from the Vero Beach Civic
Association to serve on the Local Relations Committee, we
should just appoint someone from the general public.
Chairman Scurlock asked how the $119,000 was to be
funded, and Administrator Wright advised that it is a
budgeted item and is federal revenue sharing. He explained
that $100,000 was budgeted last year and carried forward
this year where it was adjusted to $119,000.
The Commissioners expressed amazement over the high
fees designated under Section VI, ADDITIONAL WORK, and
Commissioner Wodtke vowed he would never approve any
additional work under those terms.
Administrator Wright explained that these rates are
salary times 2.5-2.8, which is the rate paid on every
11
engineering contract the County has entered into. He
suggested that the daily costs could be changed to reflect
the fee formula.
Chairman Scurlock wanted assurance then that the basic
scope of services is drawn so that no additional work is
anticipated and Administrator Wright confirmed that was so.
Commissioner Wodtke questioned Item A in Section XI re
court appearances and conferences, and asked if the $1600
will be returned if we do not -have two days in court.
Attorney Brandenburg explained that was an item that
was added at our request. Our concern was that in the event
the County was challenged on the impact fee, we didn't feel
it was fair to have to pay the consultant to come back and
justify the work for which he was already paid. To take
care of that proviso, certain allowances for court time were
included in the contract. Referring to the fees charged for
an attorney per day for additional work, Attorney
Brandenburg pointed out that $80-$100 an hour is the same
rate charged by most attorneys in this area. He felt
$119,000 for the scope of services was a very good price
when you consider the amount of money that will be received
once the impact fee is implemented and pointed out that this
team of engineers was composed of some of the highest
regarded experts in Florida.
Chairman Scurlock asked if the monies generated from
the impact fees could be used to pay the $119,000
professional services fee, and Attorney Brandenburg advised
that they could not.
Attorney Brandenburg advised that no additional work
could be done without the Board's approval of a supplemental
work agreement and noted there is nothing to prevent the
County from renegotiating the fees at such time that
additional work may be needed. He felt, however, that the
scope of work contains everything the County needs in order
12
AU G 8 198 Booz �,
r .
A U G 8 1984 BooK 57 FArE 890
to implement an impact fee and prepare an ordinance. He
further noted that the Hutchinson Island study, which has to
be done in any event, probably would have cost $60,000 if it
was done separately.
Director Davis walked the Commissioners through the
three phases of work to be done by the consultants. During
the preliminary phase, they will look at the road system and
take an inventory, including right-of-way widths and actual
road widths. In the study phase, all rights-of-way will be
drawn on maps along with estimated rights-of-way and the
mapping out of the road system. This will give a model of
the existing road network to define the deficiencies of the
current road system. He noted that the existing
deficiencies cannot be corrected with traffic impact fees.
The deficiencies should be brought up to a suitable level of
service under the capital improvement funding which is
separate and apart from revenues received through an impact
fee ordinance.
Administrator Wright noted that Barton-Aschman was not
asked to attend today's meeting.
Commissioner Wodtke was concerned whether the engineers
would attend the public hearings for the ordinance and
wondered if the number of trips included the public
hearings. Administrator Wright advised that was one of the
things discussed during their recent trip to Tampa and they
increased the number of trips to 18, which does not include
working trips where they would come over to inventory the
system and do the required studies.
Director Davis did not anticipate the need for a new
sophisticated computer to develop a formula for establishing
the impact fees. He felt this could be accomplished on
either the present small computer or by hand.
Attorney Brandenburg advised that the Engineer will
provide the County with a computer analysis of our roadway
13
system, which can be used on either the Public Works small
computer or the County's main computer. When a large
project comes in, we will be able to plug it into that
program and see how it affects the County's Thoroughfare
Plan.
Commissioner Wodtke questioned the granting of
reasonable extensions of contract time under Section IV,
TIME FOR COMPLETION on Page 11.
Administrator Wright felt that we could not hold the
Engineer liable for any delay caused by the County. He
pointed out that staff is doing a lot of demographic work
not only for this study but the water and sewer studies as
well, and they all should coordinate.
Attorney Brandenburg stated that in the event a delay
was caused by the County in providing necessary data, an
extension of time would be granted. There would not be any
additional compensation in such a case. If the Engineer
felt an extension was needed, he should put the cause of
delay in a written request for an extension.
Director Davis suggested that a change be made on Page
11 under Sedtion IV - TIME FOR COMPLETION: The last
sentence of that section should read: "Reasonable Extension
of the Contract time shall be granted in the event there is
a delay on the part of the County in fulfilling its part of
the work for acts beyond their control."
Director Davis pointed out a typo on Page 11 under
Section V - BASIC COMPENSATION. The amount of $115,000
mentioned in the last sentence should be $119,000.
Commissioner Wodtke noted that, basically, the contract
time is seven months (200 days).
Director Davis thought that staff would do the most
work during the first phase, the inventory phase. He
explained that duration of the agreement is two years,
14
AUG 8 1 4 Boa 57 F,t, 891
Booz 57 en)P 892
unless mutually terminated, and if approved, the project
would begin immediately.
Commissioner Wodtke wondered if Director Davis wanted
the responsibility as outlined under Section IX, RIGHT OF
DECISIONS, on Page 13.
Director Davis thought that the intent is that he will
act as the County's liaison. If a policy decision is
needed, however, he felt that should be up to the
committees, and he suggested that a monthly status report be
submitted to the Commission. Commissioner Wodtke noted that
they have an appeal provision and Chairman Scurlock
suggested that this Commission sit as a policy committee.
The Commissioners agreed that Section IX, RIGHT OF
DECISIONS, should remain as is because the Board will be
making the final decision in any event.
Administrator Wright noted that this ordinance must be
coordinated with the other municipalities. While the City
of Vero Beach will not be building much more, the City of
Sebastian will. If the cities do not want to be a part of
this, then the traffic impact fee ordinance will not apply
to homes built in those cities.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons,
SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, that the
Board approve the Agreement for Professional
Services with Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. with

Chairman's signature.
Chairman Scurlock cautioned that we are reaching our
road capacities on the barrier island, and he felt that if
we do not have a vehicle in place soon, development will
come to a standstill.

Attorney Brandenburg advised that the DCA has approved
the scope of work for the Hutchinson Island part of the
study. He felt it possible that we may find that our
funding levels are sufficient to meet all the needs of the
County's road system without imposing traffic impact fees.
The Commissioners, however, felt that was very optimistic
thinking.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
The Motion was voted -on and carried
unanimously.

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 8, 1984.
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS
The County is initiating a request to rezone 125.3 acres
located on the south side of Oslo Road and west of King's
Highway from C-1, Commercial District, to A, Agricultural
District.
This rezoning request is part of the County's administrative
rezoning process to establish zoning districts compatible with
the Comprehensive Plan.
On June 28, 1984, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted
2 -to -1 to recommend approval of this request.
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 consists of citrus groves and undeveloped
land. The land north of the subject property contains citrus
groves and other agricultural uses and is zoned A, Agricultural
District. East of the subject property, across Kings Highway,
is undeveloped land zoned Agricultural. South of the subject
property are citrus groves and undeveloped land zoned
Agricultural. West of the subject property is vacant land
zoned C-1, Commercial District. Further west, across 74th
Avenue, is the Ocean Spray fruit processing facility and
Hercules, Inc. in an M-1, Restricted Industrial District.
Future Land Use Pattern
The subject property and the land immediately north and south
of it have two land use designations. The eastern part of the
subject property, located west of Kings Highway and east of
66th Avenue, is designated as RR -1, Rural Residential 1 (up to
17
.4 units/acre). The western part of the subject property,
located west of 66th Avenue, is designated as AG, Agricultural
(up to .2 units/acre). The land east of the subject property
is designated as LD -1, Low -Density Residential 1 (up to 3
units/acre). The land west of the subject property is
generally designated as Agricultural. However, there is a 230
acre commercial/industrial node located southwest of the
intersection of 74th Avenue and Oslo Road. Based on the land
use designations of the subject property and the zoning of the
surrounding property, the most appropriate zoning for the
subject property is the A, Agricultural District.
Transportation System
The subject property has direct access to Oslo Road (classified
as an arterial street on the County's Thoroughfare Plan).
Rezoning the subject property from C-1 to Agricultural would be
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan policy of discouraging
strip commercial development along major streets.
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.
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 A,
Agricultural.
Richard Shearer, Chief of Long Range Planning,
presented staff's recommendation to rezone 125.3 acres
located on the south side of Oslo Road and west of King's
Highway from Commercial District to Agricultural District.
Chairman Scurlock noted that the Planning & Zoning
Board voted 2 to 1 for recommendation of the rezoning and
that a full Board was not present.
Mr. Shearer pointed out two presently established
nodes along the Oslo Road corridor: an 80 -acre node at the
intersection of U.S. #1 and Oslo Road and a 230 -acre node
southwest of the intersection of 74th Avenue and Oslo Road.
He noted that the Board also will be considering a request
next week to establish a 50 -acre node at 27th Avenue and
Oslo Road. In addition, there is a MXD area which is split
W

into two districts that cover the major portion of the
property between U.S. #1 and 43rd Avenue.
Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked'
if anyone wished to be heard in this matter.
Norman Hensick, Jr., agent representing Mrs. Paul R.
Robertson, stated her opposition to the rezoning of the
subject property and presented the following letter.

We objectod to the proposed change from C-11 Commercial
District to A, Agricultural District before the Planning
and Zoning Commission on June 28, 1984: 'We feel that
our closeness to' the Ocean Spray Plant, the Correctional
Institute, the Land Fill and the proposed Packing House,
make this change in zoning ill advised.
I. am speaking not only in my behalf but on the behalf
of our children; Mr. & Mrs. Thomas Clark P,- Mr.' & Mrs.
John Amos, and.Mr..& Mrs. C. Reed Knight, Jr.
We hope you will support us in our efforts to preserve
our existing zoning.
Sincere ,
Mrs. Paul R. Robertson
Mr. Hensick stated that the property has always been
zoned Commercial and Mrs. Robertson feels it should remain
Commercial in keeping with their closeness to the Ocean
Spray Plant, the Correctional Institution, the County
Landfill and Hercules Chemical. Mrs. Robertson believes
that with the development of the County out in that area
19
there is going to be a need for commercial and industrial
zoning and it serves no purpose to change the zoning to
Agricultural. Mr. Hensick pointed out that there was a
large attendance at the Planning & Zoning meeting at which a
recommendation was voted on without a full Board being
present, and he thought that if a full Board had been
present, it might have resulted in a different outcome.
Commissioner Bird asked Mr. Hensick to point out Mrs.
Robertson's land on the land use map.
Mr. Hensick presented the following letter of
opposition from Thomas and Penny Clark and asked that it be
made part of the record. He asked the Commission to give
this matter careful thought and hoped they would see fit not
to rezone the subject property at this time.

SUBJECT: Rezoning Public Hearing of property as referenced by Ms. Wright
letter of July 2, 1984 (Oslo Road between Kings Highway and 74th
Avenue).
As property owners in the above area we wish to notify you of our
opposition to the proposed rezoning to A from C-1. It has been apparent
for a number of years that Oslo Road is emerging as a major west -east
artery in Indian River County and that adjacent properties would be
affected. Planners recognized this fact when the area was zoned C-1. The
recent commercial development of Ocean Spray and residential develop-
ment substantiate this. It would appear that rezoning this area back to
agricultural is contrary to the reality of the situation. Thus we stand
opposed to the rezoning.
Please accept this as entitling Mrs. Paul R. Robertson. or her
representative to speak on our behalf in opposition to the rezoning.
Sincerely,
Thomas E. Clark

Planning & Development Director Robert Keating stated
that the land use map designates the subject property as
Agricultural and for it to retain its Commercial zoning
there would have to be some kind of a node established in
that area. There was considerable discussion at the
Planning & Zoning meeting about a node being established
somewhere in that general area sometime in the future when
conditions warrant it. It is staff's position, however,
that strip zoning along that corridor should not be
encouraged.
Chairman Scurlock felt that the property is too far
removed to be included in a node.
Commissioner Bird related the anguish and efforts gone
through for seven years in establishing the Comprehensive
Land Use Plan and he felt that this proposed rezoning is
just the process to bring the subject property into
compliance with the Comp Plan which was adopted in January,
1982. It was thought at that time that it was premature to
have Commercial in this area. He agreed that if the
interchange is built at I-95 and Oslo Road, it will
certainly result in a demand for Commercial and Residential.
It is just a question of whether the demand is there now.
Commissioner Lyons stressed that we don't want to end
up with strip zoning along that corridor, and Commissioner
Wodtke asked Mr. Shearer if they had considered making the
area into a MXD District.
Mr. Shearer stated that since this area is
undeveloped, staff did not feel it was appropriate to give
it a MXD status.
Chairman Scurlock agreed that we have used our MXD
primarily for areas which were already substantially
developed to provide the flexibility to do something in
those areas.
21
Mr. Hensick felt that Mrs. Robertson would prefer MXD
rather than Agricultural zoning because of the difficulty
and expense involved in coming back back and getting the
land rezoned.
Karen Amos stated that she and her husband own the
property on the corner of Oslo Road and Monroe Road,
approximately one mile from the Ocean Spray Plant and
one-half mile from the Hyatt Fruit Company. She reported
that another packing house is,to be built across from the
Ocean Spray Plant. She stated that she and her husband are
opposed to the rezoning for the same reasons given by Mr.
Hensick.
Mrs. Amos noted that the proposed rewriting of the
Agricultural zoning omits packing houses, as well as other
service businesses; in fact, even nurseries which sell to
the public have been omitted. She thought that they would
be very severely limited to what they could do with their
property in the future if it is rezoned to Agricultural.
Director Keating explained that Mrs. Amos was referring
to the draft of the Agricultural and Residential zoning in
the new Zoning Code and he had instructed the consultant to
change that restriction in the Agricultural District. From
his perspective, it is very difficult to determine the
difference between agriculturally and industrially oriented
businesses. Both are still included in the Agricultural
District as special exception uses. In the new Zoning Code,
each special exception use must meet specific criteria
before it can be approved. In developing that specific
criteria, packing houses were excluded originally, but he
directed the consultants to put those back in because he
thought they were appropriate.
Mrs. Amos felt that with three packing houses within a
three-mile radius, service type businesses will be needed
and that would help meet the criteria.

Thomas Metts, agent representing property owners
Stephen Boyd and Curtis Knight, stated that they wish to go
on record as being opposed to the proposed rezoning to
Agricultural. Mr. Metts stated that their arguments are
also the same as those given by Mr. Hensick.
Commissioner Bird noted that there is a 230 -acre
commercial/industrial node by Ocean Spray, and if anyone
wants to build a convenience store, a gas station, or other
service type business, it can be included in that node.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird,
SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board
unanimously closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Wodtke asked if we could consider rezoning
just part of the land; Attorney Brandenburg advised that
could be done.
Commissioner Bird did not know how we could accommodate
these people without creating three strip zonings because
the properties are so spread out.
Chairman Scurlock was in favor of the Planning & Zoning
Commission's recommendation to rezone to Agricultural.
Commissioner Wodtke made a Motion to adopt an ordinance
to rezone the area from Kings Highway (58th Avenue) to 66th
Avenue. The Motion died for lack of a Second.
Commissioner Bird indicated that he would vote for the
rezoning as long as there are assurances that the boundaries
of the node at the corner of 74th Avenue are flexible and
that requests for expansion to the east would be considered
as well as expansion to the west. With those assurances, he
felt that we would have allowed for considerable additional
service area to accommodate the expanded commercial that is
contemplated, but he stressed that we have to be consistent.
23
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons,
SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that the Board
adopt Ordinance 84-48, providing for the rezoning
of 125.3 acres located on the south side of Oslo
Road and west of Kings Highway from C-1,
Commercial District, to A, Agricultural District.
Under discussion, Mr. Shearer advised that out of the
230 -acre commercial/industrial node, only 40 acres are now
in use by Ocean Spray and Hercules Chemicals. It has not
been determined as yet what percentage of the acreage is
commercial and what is industrial.
Commissioner Bird felt that agriculturally oriented
uses should be allowed in Agricultural Districts, certainly
packing houses. Director Keating agreed.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion
carried by a vote of 4-1, Commissioner Wodtke
dissenting.

Chief, Long -Range Planning CHIEF
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their
regular meeting of August 8, 1984.
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS
Mr. Michael Orr, County Traffic Engineer, has recommended
several changes to the County's Thoroughfare Plan which is part
of the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. If
adopted, these changes would alter the future right-of-way
requirements for the affected roads.
On March 22, 1984, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted
4 -to -0 to recommend approval of these proposed amendments.
On April 10, 1984, the Transportation Advisory Committee voted
unanimously to recommend approval of these proposed amendments.
On May 7, 1984, the Florida Department of Community Affairs
approved these proposed amendments.
On May 21, 1984, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council
approved these proposed amendments.
ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS
The Planning Department has reviewed these proposed changes to
the Thoroughfare Plan and has determined that they will not
significantly affect the Land Use Plan, and will provide a
better functional classification system based on the present
character and projected traffic volumes for these roads.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt
the attached changes to the Thoroughfare Plan as an amendment
to the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan.
Planner Richard Shearer presented staff's .
recommendation that several changes be made in the County's
Thoroughfare Plan which is part of the Transportation
Element of the Comprehensive Plan.

Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked
if anyone wished to be heard in this matter.
Frank Zorc, local realtor, questioned the priorities of
the proposed changes as listed in the newspaper.
Mr. Shearer advised that this is not a priority list by
any means. It is just a number of changes staff felt should
be made to the plan.
Public Works Director Jim Davis confirmed that the
Transportation Planning Committee sets the priorities.
Mr. Zorc noticed that the newspaper mentioned the
previous controversy re the northerly extension of Indian
River Boulevard and he felt the reason for that controversy
a few years back was that the primary reason for the
extension was to serve development in the area and not to
provide a U.S. #1 by-pass. He felt that the Commissioners
all realize that when developers need access to their
property, the road is paid for by those developers and the
right-of-way is donated. Mr. Zorc strongly believed that
policy should remain intact.

RE: Indian River Boulevard Extension Northward
Dear County Commissioners,
This Association would like to go on record as recognizing
the need for extending Indian River Boulevard northward to
facilitate future north -south traffic flow in parallel with
and connecting into U.S. 1 and for dual access to Indian
River Memorial Hospital.
However we would further state that we are unalterably
opposed to any compromises in design which might jeopardize
any and all land to the west by possible flooding.
28
BOOK 57 Fm,E905
BOOK 57 Fa,F996
We would call attention to the original designs of this
important artery, which elevated the roadway on pilings
where required to facilitate adequate and proper drainage of
areas to its west. Obviously this adds to the cost, but
even so, construction of this road must be done in the
proper manner and we will resist any design compromises.
Yours very truly,

Dear Mr. Scurlock:
The extension of Indian River Boulevard north from SR 60 to
53rd Street at U.S. 1 would no doubt be of great benefit to
Indian River County. As the President of the Country Club
Pointe Property Owners' Association? I do have some points
of concern that I would like to go on record.
1 - The water drainage situation in our area is critical to
all of us as we don't want our homes to be flooded. It is
essential that water from Golfview Drive be allowed to flow
eastward, as it always has, and that there is no elevation
in thelandfill east of Golfview Drive, as this would stop
our drainage and cause flooding in our area.
2 - To allow the drainage to continue as is and not interrupt
its flow to the Indian River, I suggest that any extension of
Indian River Boulevard be placed on pilings.
3 - Should the pilings not be feasible, then I suggest a
series of bridges over all the creeks and waterways through
the area; particularly, opposite the eastern end of Golfview
Drive.
Thank you for considering the safety and welfare of our homes
and neighborhood in this matter.
Yours truly,
Sheldon R. Smith
President

ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons,
SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board
unanimously closed the Public Hearing.
Chairman Scurlock noted that we have had good dialogue
with the property owners involved in the southerly extension
of Indian River Boulevard and it is the intent of most of
those owners to dedicate the rights-of-way. As to the
northerly extension, there has been discussion about paying
a portion, or possibly a significant portion, of the costs
for that segment. Chairman Scurlock just wanted it made
clear that he was never opposed to the northerly extension,
but he was opposed to its being the #1 priority in Indian
River County. He stated that he intends to support the
extension to the north and to the south and felt that is
consistent with the planning done by the Transportation
Planning Committee.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke,
SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board
unanimously adopted Ordinance 84-49, providing
for certain changes to the Thoroughfare Plan as
an amendment to the Transportation Element of the
Comprehensive Plan.

of August 8, 1984.

presented be given formal
Commissioners at their
s
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS
The County staff has initiated a request to amend the
Recreation and Open Space Element of the Comprehensive Plan.
Major provisions of this amendment are to restructure the park
classification system in the plan, adjust the Recreation and
Open Space Priorities section, and add a phased development
program under the Implementation Strategies Section.
On March 22, 1984, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted
4 -to -0 to recommend approval of these proposed amendments.,
On April 12, 1984, the Recreation Advisory Committee voted
unanimously to recommend approval of these proposed amendments.
On May 7, 1984, the Florida Department of Community Affairs
approved these proposed amendments.
On May 21, 1984, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council
approved these proposed amendments.
ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS
The staff is requesting to restructure the park classification
system to better reflect the types of parks the County has
instead of trying to fit the County's parks into the existing
classification system which is designed for municipal parks.
Also, Marine Island Parks are not included in the existing
classification system.
Under the Recreation and Open Space Priorities section, park
development has been added as the top priority,replacing
establishing specific standards which apply to recreation and
open space needs in the County which becomes the second
priority. Acquisition of additional land for recreational use
is changed to a lower priority because of the large amount of
new park lands acquired in the last two years.
Under the Implementation Strategies section, a phased develop-
ment program provision is added. This provision would expedite
the opening of recently acquired recreation and open space
lands prior to the complete development of the site.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Board of
County Commissioners adopt these amendments to the Recreation
and Open Space Element of the Comprehensive Plan.

Planner Shearer advised that the major changes involve
the restructuring of the priority system. Since the County
has acquired substantial park land in the last few years,
the top priority will be on the development of existing park
land. The other major change involves the reclassification
of the parks system, which was originally set up for
municipal parks. There will be regional parks such as
Kiwanis-Hobart; community parks, which will be smaller in
nature; and beachfront and riverfront parks. They are also
adding a provision for marine island parks.
Commissioner Bird noted that staff, in conjunction with
the University of Florida, has prepared master park plans
for Kiwanis-Hobart, Round Island, Dale Wimbrow, and Donald
MacDonald Parks. Although the Commission has not formally
adopted those master plans, the County is using them as a
guide as we continue to make improvements in those parks.

RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION:
This element serves as a guide to plan for current and
future demands for recreation and open space. Basic principles
of the recreation and open space element include:
1. The collection of sufficient information to
allow for assessment of alternatives and
making informed decisions;
2. Planning by a multi -disciplinary team of managers,
planners and technical experts;
3. Public participation should be encouraged in the
planning process;
4. Flexibility in order to adapt to changing demands.
RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE OBJECTIVES:
1. To provide a wide range of recreational opportunities
which meet the current and future demands of all
segments of the community;
2. To use natural resources to full advantage in meeting
recreation and open space needs;
3. To preserve the unique and irreplaceable natural
resources; V_
4. To coordinate with State, Regional and Municipal
levels.. of government in providing recreational
opportunities;
5. To integrate recreational space and facilities
into all urban residential areas.
RECREATION POLICIES:
The park system shall be expanded to insure that all
residents have adequate recreational opportunities. This
system shall be composed of .thxa.P_ four types of parks:
CODING: Words in type are deletions;
words underlined are additions.

1. A Regional Park - This park type is designed to
serve the entire County. Facilities that would
be impractical to provide on a smaller scale
should be offered. One park of this scale will
be sufficient to adequately serve the County for
the immediate future.

3. Beach, Lake, & Riverfront Parks/Accesses - These parks are
designed to provide various user groups with access to -
water-based activities. Design orientation shall be toward
enjoyment and preservation of natural resources.
4. Marine Island Parks - This park type is created through
the MP Marine Park District of the Indian River County
Zoning Ordinance. As explained in the description of the
district, the purpose of establishing marine island parks are:
a) To conserve and preserve the physical features and
natural habitat in a pristine like condition of lands
and water resources that are either owned or controlled
by Indian River County.
b) To provide and maintain open space and recreational
areas.
c) To provide, maintain and protect environmental areas
for the preservation of the natural plant and wildlife
habitat found in areas owned or controlled by Indian
River County.
OPEN SPACE POLICIES: "A.
The value lies in its functions: as a definer of space; as
a buffer of uses; or as a visual amenity. Open space can meet
part of an area's needs by providing a place for people to
enjoy the outdoors in a natural setting. The following
policies will guide County efforts to retain open space in its
future development pattern.
1. Public Parks and Other Public Lands - Public parks
and other public facilities will be situated in a
development pattern which permits landscaped spaces

to have optimum impact on organization of the
community. Use considerations will include:
a) Protecting important views to open land and water;
b) Providing buffers between potentially conflicting
areas of use;
c) Preserving unique natural vegetation or wildlife
habitats.
2. Open Space in Land Development - The County will
encourage development approaches which retain sub=
stantial areas of open space. Landscape and setback
requirements for all types of development will be
designed to integrate green space into the development
pattern.
3. Scenic Corridors - The County will initiate a long-
range program for the preservation of scenic routes on
roads that offer significant and unique views and
settings for public enjoyment. This will protect the
quality of views on the route from development of
adjacent property, and insure that use intensity and
congestion do not detract from the public's
opportunity to enjoy a leisurely scenic drive.
INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS: ,.
Presently, recreational opportunities are provided by the
County, Municipalities, schools and various private sources.
(See Tables 1-4.)
National and State recreation standards guide in
determining the demand for park space. The standards indicate
approximately 5 acres per 1,000 population should be allocated
to a; +Y;n-f- community parks. An additional 5 acres per 1,000
population should be allocated to regional and special use
parks. The 1980 Census figures for the unincorporated areas of
the County indicate a population of 38,582. Based on the space

standards, an estimated 193 acres should be devoted to district
community parks. The County should provide community parks for
the unincorporated areas (38,582 people) and the municipalities
should provide community parks for the population in the
incorporated areas of the County. Table 1 indicates that much
of the County park land is dedicated to Bpeeia-l-fHse beach, lake
and riverfront parks. Approximately `55 acres is utilized for
Community parks. An additional 4.7 acres of mini -park land
which is vacant and not suitable for development, is scattered
throughout the County.
1980 Census figures indicate a County -population of
59,896. According to space standards, approximately 300 acres
are required for regional and spe-cia-Mdse beach, lake and
riverfront parks. Approximately 560 acres are utilized for a
Regional park and an additional 237.5 acres to Spee-ia-l-Use
beach, lake and riverfront parks.
The United States Government manages the Pelican Island
Wildlife Refuge. This includes 4,760 acres of land and water
area along the Indian River.. Its function is to protect the
sensitive wildlife habitat. The management area provides and
protects an important open space feature and offers a setting
for passive recreational enjDyment.
The State of Florida owns and operates the 301 acre
Sebastian Inlet.State Park and manages Donald McDonald Park, a
37 acre recreation area owned by the County. These are passive
outdoor recreation areas with facilities for picnicking,
boating, camping and similar resource-based activities. The
Sebastian Inlet Park includes approximately 7500 linear feet of
beach frontage. State efforts are directed toward developing
regional parks where residents and visitors can enjoy the
State's unique natural resources.

RECREATION & OPEN SPACE PRIORITIES
1. Park Development - The County shall establish phased
programs of development for each facility designated for
park and recreation purposes and shall implement such
programs as grants or other funding sources become

-3, 2. Establish specific standards which apply to recreation
and open space needs in Indian River County. Considera-
tion should be given to age groups, climate, geography,
number and type of private recreational facilities.
-2,-3. Acquisition of additional land for recreational use.
This priority extends County wide. Studies will indicate
parcels to be acquired. In the North County and the South
County areas, there is not a Community Park. The lease,
at the Gifford Community Park will expire in 2002.
_�oo„ .cam-alb-�geo-i7--Tse--lir-]�s-.
4. Development of a Regional park.
LAND ACQUISITION AND PARK DEVELOPMENT:
DI-s4ri-G, Community park lands need to be expanded. As
indicated by priority Z-, 3, the acquisition of Community Park
land in thre-+km-bir-and- the South County-aTea-s- should be accom-
plished as soon as practical. The extension of the lease or
acquisition of the central County (Gifford) Community Park
should also be considered. The Kiwanis Hobart Park has adequate
land for a Regional Park. A plan for development of this
regional park should be prepared.
The County currently has approximately 237 acres of
beach, lake, and riverfront parks which are oriented toward
natural surroundings. This acreage is divided
into 10 parks of various sizes and stages of development.

Complete park development of the following 4 -an --use beach,
lake and riverfront parks should be accomplished: Tracking
Station, Round Island; Ambersand River and Beach; and Dale
Wimbrow. The feasibility of developing the County's beach
acquisition parks should be explored as well as Joe Earman -
Marine Park.
FUTURE LAND ACQUISITION AND PARK DEVELOPMENT:
As growth occurs, demand for park land and facilities will
increase.
A master plan for parks and recreation in the County
should be prepared.
IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES:
1. General recreation planning tasks:
A. Conduct an area -by -area analysis of population
characteristics to determine the demand for
parks and facilities which should be offered.
B. Survey users of existing parks to determine if
the provided services are adequate and what
improvements are needed.
C. Select, analyze and prioritize new sites for
County parks.
2. Land Acquisition:
A. School sites can be used as a part of the
-Fre4-g-k�heed--oma community park system.
B. Explore the feasibility of establishing a
County park dedication ordinance.
C. Taxing districts for development and operation of
parks and open space should be created. This
would be a step towards recreational facilities
paying for themselves.

C. Scenic Highway Ordinance - develop procedures for
designating routes, requiring special setbacks,
and restricting access to routes from adjacent
property.
4. Phased Development Program:
A County phased development program shall be initiated when the
public benefits derived from the opening of park lands preclude
the development of the entire tract at one time in
Indian River County. With the establishment of any such
program, it shall be the responsibility of the County Parks
Department to request funds at the next available County budget
hearing in order that the project or a portion of the project
be completed with sufficient funding. This procedure shall be

Attorney Brandenburg explained that the proposed
ordinance will amend Ordinance 83-46, which served as the
County's authority for the SR -60 assessment revenue bonds.
There are a couple of ambiguities when you take State
Statute Chapter 170 and apply it to the County. This
ordinance will remove those ambiguities after the fact so
that we will have no problems using the same process in the
future.

George Bail, President of Frizzell Architects,
presented the design development drawings and outline
specifications for the new jail, and reported that the
project is going well. The present cost estimate is
$3,590,000, which is within the range they quoted in
schematics.
Tom Pinkerton, Jail Consultant, explained that approval
of the design phase is needed today and that approval may be
contingent upon approval by the Commission of the following
items:
1). Phase completion of design development
2) Staffing numbers
3) Prisoner medical care - no in-patient beds
Commissioner Lyons stated that he would not be in a
position to voice his approval or disapproval today without
first meeting with the Jail Committee.
Mr. Pinkerton pointed out that actually there are no
changes today from what has gone before.
The Committee has approved 156.beds, not counting 6
isolation cells and 8 booking cells. Frizzell Architects
are recommending a minimum staff level of 37 which the State
will accept, and which is approximately 4-1 -- a very
impressive staffing level. Mr. Pinkerton believed that the
County's legal exposure would be reduced with a staff of 41
or 42. It was noted that present jail staffing is 28 for 58
inmates.
Mr. Pinkerton distributed copies of the following
letter dated 3/20/84 and a chart of the staffing levels:
42
AUG 6 1984 Boa 57 FACE 9%9
Footnotes concluded
BOOK 57 FLUE 902
Y The Nurse will be available, at a minimum, Monday through Friday on the.day
shift, to oversee the prisoner medical and health care program. While a
relief factor has been applied to permit weekend coverage, Indian River
County officials may opt to provide health care supervision on an as -needed
basis.
fl This plan recommends that the Main Control Room normally be staffed by a
female who would also be responsible for supervision of the adjacent female
prisoner housing unit.
V Two staff are recommended in the Booking and Intake area to oversee
operations in that area and supervise all prisoners in temporary holding.
One of these staff will also be called upon for back-up and escort functions
on an as -needed basis.
Mr. Pinkerton stated that the Board must approve
staffing at this stage and make a formal commitment to that
number or the State will not go any further with approval.
Administrator Wright recommended that the Board approve
the minimum number of 37 and then decide whether or not
additional staffing is needed at a later date.
Mr. Pinkerton pointed out that there is no provision
for in-patient and major emergency care in the new jail.
There is a full-time nurse in the staffing pattern who will
make the judgments. The County's present policy is that if
there is any question as to whether a patient is in medical
danger, he is sent to the hospital, and they did not provide
in-patient beds because that would create a very expensive
post because medical staff would then be required.
Mr. Pinkerton advised that the County must write.a
letter to the State laying out how we intend to handle minor
medical emergencies without having an officer escort an
inmate to the hospital. The letter should also state that
45
� � s
V Relief factor calculated at 1.7.
bI The Assistant Jail Administrator would function as the jail's day shift
supervisor Monday through Friday. A replacement supervisor will be warranted
on weekends and in the absence of the Assistant which accounts for the
utilization of a relief factor.
At present, the Jail Administrator is able to use the services of the
Sheriff's Office clerks for recordkeeping functions. Should this practice be
discontinued, the clerk recommended in the above table will be necessary.
dl This staff member would function as the facility's multi-purpose officer in
that he or she would oversee all inmate programs' and services, laundry
operations, commissary, etc. While the Assistant Jail Administrator could
function in this capacity it is believed that the security requriements of
that position would limit the time and effort available for adequate program
supervision.
Footnotes continued on page two.
The previous staffing levels indicate that a minimum of six security
personnel will be available for each shift, seven (7) days a week with a normal
complement of 12 staff available on all weekdays. While the staffing levels
recommend 41.2 personnel, it would be quite possible to reduce this number to 37.5
with the following personnel reductions, none of which would substantially impact -
the safety and security of the facility:
• Eliminate Clerk's position
• Eliminate Program Officer's position - combine
duties under Jail Administrator
• Reduce nursing coverage by 0.7
• Eliminate 1 day shift rover

to the County at the beginning of his job
and
updated CPMs during the progress on the job. Mr. Bail
stated that is part of their normal specifications.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird,
SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, that the
Board approve the design development stage
for the new jail and authorize the start of
the next phase, construction documents, with
the understanding that there is no change from
the schematic design approved by the Jail
Committee.
Attorney Brandenburg asked if the County was current in
its payment for services, and Mr. Bail advised that they
have not been paid yet for the design development stage
which is now completed.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
The Motion was voted on and carried
unanimously.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons,
SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board
unanimously approved a minimum staffing level
of 37 for the new jail.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons,
SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board
unanimously authorized Administrator Wright
to write a letter to the State outlining our
policy for medical care and the reason for not
having in-patient care in the jail facility.
47
the County Jail will provide routine sick call and
examination upon intake so that the jail population is not
contaminated by new inmates. The mini -jail in the booking
area will hold those people until it is determined that they
will be committed to the jail.
Summarizing, Mr. Pinkerton stated that the County Jail
has the basic medical provisions and he thought that the
County would have a physician who would be willing to come
in for minor, routine out-patient care. Frizzell Architects
is recommending that the County not provide in-patient care,
but it must be covered in some way such as an agreement with
hospital or some general policy statement.
County Administrator Wright reported that in discussing
this with the architects, the feeling was that a medical
facility should not be provided in the jail.
Ray Stroud, Principal Architect, presented the outline
specifications and isometric drawings of the facility.
Administrator. Wright advised that the County is trying
to do as much of the engineering inhouse as possible.
Hogar Schmitt presented the mechanical and engineering
drawings for the sprinkler, heating, ventilating and
electrical systems.
Commissioner Wodtke questioned the TV sets in the Day
Rooms, and Administrator Wright stated the TV sets would be
paid for out of the inmate commissary funds; no County tax
money would be used.
Mr. Pinkerton explained that you have to offer the
prisoners something or there is no other way to control them
except by brute force. This way, they can be penalized by
taking away their TV privileges. The TV helps keep the
prisoners quiet and out of trouble.
Attorney Brandenburg asked if the architects would
include a requirement in the specifications that the General
Contractor will submit a CPM (Critical Path Method, computer

Commissioner Bird left the meeting at this point, 11:50
o'clock A.M., to keep a speaking engagement.
COUNTY WATER EXTENSION POLICY - OSLO PARK
Mike Ekonomou explained that in order for him and his
father to obtain site plan approval, they were ordered by
Mike Galanis of the Environmental Health Department to hook
up to the County water system. The Ekonomous, together with
Jack Frantz and James Monger,•installed a 6 -inch waterline
to their property in Oslo Park Subdivision. The line, which
connected to the County's water system, cost approximately
$4,000. He reported that Utilities Director Terry Pinto
refused to let them use a 2 -inch pipe and required them to
put in the 6 -inch pipe. Director Pinto had informed them
that under the Ordinance they would not be reimbursed for
any expense when other people on their street hook up to
this line, and they thought that was very unfair.
Director Pinto explained that the policy has been to
require a minimum of 6" pipe to be put into a right-of-way
that is going to have public use at a future time because
that area will require an increased fire flow. Director
Pinto pointed out that if the County had required a line
larger than the minimum of 6" to serve future development,
then we would have agreed to pay the difference in the cost
of material that the larger line would require. In this
case, however, we are talking about installing a minimum
sized line. The County provided as much as we could without
wavering very much from our policy. There is an existing
20" waterline on Oslo Road and the tap on both ends was
provided by the County. The connection was a cost that the
Ekonomous did not have to incur.
Director Pinto felt it was an important policy to
retain because reimbursing costs for hooking up every little
street would be very difficult to do from an administrative
48

viewpoint.
If you divide up the cost for each individual
lot as they come along, you have established a connection
fee beyond an impact fee for each one of those people.
Director Pinto emphasized that the County did not force
Mr. Ekonomou to put in the 6" line. When they first
requested the waterline, it was explained to them that they
could come to this Board and ask that the County install a
line up their street, and that the assessment process would
have taken a couple of months. They did not wish to follow
that process, and went ahead and put the line in themselves,
using a private contractor.
Chris Ekonomou, objected to Director Pinto's statement
that they were not forced to put in the line. He explained
that a 2" line was installed on the next street and when
they requested a line, they were told it had to be the 6"
minimum. They could have put in a septic tank in the back
if they had obtained a variance from Tallahassee- They
tried to cooperate with the County by putting in the 6" line
because they also thought it would be needed in the future,
but they still feel that people who hook up in the future
should pay their share.
Chairman Scurlock asked why the 2" lines were
authorized on the next street when our policy is 6" lines
and Director Pinto explained that the County did not have a
policy at that time. There are 2" lines running all over
the place which the County is now replacing. He also noted
that the administration of the Utilities Dept. has changed
during that time and we feel that a minimum 6" line is
necessary to protect the system and to protect everyone in
the system, including the applicant.
Chairman Scurlock asked just how difficult it would be
to administrate a refundable advance on these small line
extensions.
49
7---7
L
Administrator Wright stated that you would have to set
up a set of books on every waterline installed in the
County. Every time someone tapped into any line, the County
would have to research it and see if a refundable advance
existed on that portion of the line.
Commissioner Wodtke asked if the County went in and put
in a 6" line, how would it be paid for, and Director Pinto
stated that it could be handled on an assessment basis. He
repeated that the Ekonomous had that option but chose to put
the line in themselves, and now, the assessment cannot be
after the fact. The bottom line is that anyone wishing to
install a waterline prior to the County putting in the line
must install a minimum 6" line and pay the entire cost.
Director Pinto felt very strongly that the County should not
change this policy.
After Commissioner Wodtke asked if the Environmental
Health Dept. will not allow further building in Oslo Park
unless they hook up to County water, Director Pinto
interrupted Chris Ekonomou reply, and stated that was not
the case at all. Mr..Galanis is saying that if you want to
build larger than the lot can take and you do not have
enough room between your septic system and your well, then
you cannot put in a well.
Chris Ekonomou hoped this was being recorded on tape as
he intends to bring it up. He stated that Mike Galanis had
informed them that the law states that you have to be 100
feet from any septic tank. According to the State, however,
they could have obtained a variance and gone with 75 feet
for these small lots.
Director Pinto and Administrator Wright pointed out
that is exactly what they are saying, that the Ekonomous had
an alternative to installing the 6" line.
50

-E 9e37
AUG 9 1994 BOOK 57 Fr�cF 38
Commissioner Wodtke thought that it doesn't seem fair
when one individual has to pay for the line and the others
do not, but he did not know that we have any alternatives.
Director Pinto stressed that if the County forced them
to put in the 6" line, then we could consider the difference
in cost, but these people were not forced; they had other
options.
Administrator Wright explained that what they are
asking the Board to do today is to reaffirm the policy that
a 6" line is the minimum waterline.
Commissioner Lyons did not have any problem with a 6"
line, but he thought that we were going to set up some sort
of policy that would encourage the use of County water in
Oslo Park Subdivision and he agreed with Commissioner Wodtke
that it was unfair for the first one in to have to pay the
entire cost.
Commissioner Wodtke suggested that we include this
matter to be discussed at the line extension workshop
scheduled for later this month.
Attorney Brandenburg felt this situation is no
different than someone who needs to build a road to get to
his property and the road goes by people who don't want a
road or don't want to pay for a road since all their land is
in groves.
Chris Ekonomou advised that the value of lots on their
street have gone from $4,000 to $15,000 due to the waterline
being installed.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons,
SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board
unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Bird having
left the meeting) agreed to remain with the
County's 6" pipe policy; with the understanding
that until we have a different set of rules
any individual who wishes to install a waterline
51
extension prior to the County installing a
line must pay the entire cost; and referred the
Ekonomou's request for reimbursement to the
waterline extension workshop scheduled for later
this month.
PROPOSED SITE FOR COUNTY PISTOL RANGE
Bill F. Stegkemper, local realtor, explained that he
had asked that this matter be•placed on today's agenda in
order to request that the proposed County pistol range not
be restricted to use by the Sheriff's Department and that it
be placed under a park authority so that it could be
properly supervised and available for public use. He read

HELLO, FOR THE RECORD MY NAME IS BILL F. STEGKEMPER. I LIVE IN.

OF THE SHERIFF'S RANGE COUPLED WITH A SOUTH COUNTY*PARK ON 91.69 ACRES
LOCATED IN THE SOUTH COUNTY, EAST OF U.S. # 1, FRONTING ON THE RIVER
BETWEEN OSLO ROAD AND RIVER SHORES.

THAT LATER DEVELOPMENT WEST OF THIS SITE AND EAST OF U.S. # 1 COULD
• COMPROMISE A RANGE. ART FURTHER FELT THAT A SOUTH COUNTY PARK WAS
CERTAINLY NEEDED, AND THAT CONCEPTUALLY THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS, BUT
FINANCIALLY BECAUSE.OF WET LANDS WHICH REQUIRE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF
PERMITTING, THAT IT WOULD BE COSTLY. ART CERTAINLY FELT WITH THE RIVER
FRONTAGE AND THE OSLO RD. ACCESS THIS SITE WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT LOCATION
FOR A SOUTH COUNTY PARK - INDEED.
AS EVERYONE IS AWARE, THE MAJOR SEGMENT OF OUR POPULATION IS IN
THE SOUTH COUNTY, THUS THIS IS WHERE THE MAJORITY OF OUR TAXES COME FROM,
DESPITE THIS FACT, THE MAJORITY OF RECREATIONAL PARKS ARE ALL LOCATED IN
THE NORTH COUNTY, EXCEPTING ROUND ISLAND WHICH IS ON THE BEACH. AT THIS
POINT I AM UNCERTAIN WHY THIS EXISTS, BUT AS OF TODAY, OUR SOUTH COUNTY DOES
NOT HAW ONE SINGLE MEMBER APPOINTED TO THE PARKS ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
THE UNDEVELOPED PARCEL I REFER TO CONSISTS OF 91.69 ACRES OWNED BY
JULIAN LOWENSTEIN AND THE MAJORITY OF THIS LAND IS HANDICAPPED WITH .
ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE ZONING. THE PROPERTY TAXES LAST YEAR WERE'IN-
CREASED BY A WHOPPING 865%. THIS DEVASTATING TAX INCREASE WAS,.CHALLENGED
AND SUBSEQUENTLY UPHELD AS A JUST ASSESSMENT IN COURT.
THIS LEAVES THE OWNER IN THE UNFORTUNATE POSITION OF PAYING THOUSANDS
OF TAX DOLLARS ON LAND HE DWNS, AND WHICH HE ONLY HAS THE PRIVILEGE OF
CONTROLLING MOSQUITOES, PROTECTING OYSTERS AND PRESERVING MANGROVES - NO
OTHER BENEFITS OF PROPERTY OWNERSHIP ARE ENJOYED, WHAT -SO -EVER.
NOT WITHSTANDING THESE UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES, I DO BELIEVE THIS
LARGE, WELL LOCATED RIVERFRONT SITE COULD BEST BE PURCHASED AND UTILIZED
FOR A MUCH NEEDED SOUTH COUNTY RECREATIONAL PARK, EVEN THOUGH ZONING PRE-
CLUDES ANY TYPE OF P.ROFITABLE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
NOW TO ADDRESS THE INITIAL MATTER WHICH PROMPTED ME TO COME BEFORE
YOU. THE SHERIFF'S RANGE. PERSONALLY, I AM NOT A GOLFER, BUT I MUST
MENTION THE NEWLY PROPOSED GOLF COURSE AT HOBART PARK (AGAIN, BY -THE -WAY,
IN THE NORTH COUNTY) AND I DO BELIEVE THIS FACILITY WILL BENEFIT OUR COUNTY.
IN 1982 ACCORDING TO FIGURES PUBLISHED BY THE BUREAU OF ALCOHOL,
TOBACCO AND FIREARMS, NEARLY 3,000,000 HANDGUNS ALONE WERE MANUFACTURED
OR IMPORTED INTO THIS COUNTRY. MATHEMATICALLY THIS AMOUNTS.TO 900 NEW HAND
GUNS FOR OUR COUNTRY IN 1982, NOT TO MENTION RIFLES OR SHOTGUNS.
TO LEND EMPHASIS TO MY WORDS, I COULD EASILY HAVE HAD A MAILING GO
OUT TO THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS WHO ARE GUN OWNERS AND FILLED THIS CHAMBER
AND THE.HALLWAY. BUT MOST SINCERELY, I AM SAYING THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE
THE NEEDS AND INTERESTS OF OUR COUNTY'S LAW ABIDING GUN OWNERS ARE BEING
MET, OR FOR THAT MATTER, CONSIDERED.

TO ESTABLISH MY QUALIFICATIONS, I AM A FORMER FULL TIME LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, THUS I AM PERSONALLY AWARE OF THE CONSTANT NEED FOR
REGULARLY SCHEDULED TRAINING AND RE-TRAINING OF POLICE OFFICERS. I AM A
LICENSED FLORIDA TEACHER AND I HAVE INSTRUCTED AT THE COLLEGE CREDIT LEVEL.
I HAVE TAUGHT CLASSES IN BASIC, INTERMEDIARY AND ADVANCED FIREARMS. THE
SECRETARY OF STATE HAS CERTIFIED ME TO QUALIFY SECURITY GUARDS FOR THEIR
GUN LICENSE, AND THIS COUNTY COMMISSION AUTHORIZED ME TO QUALIFY CITIZENS
FOR THEIR PISTOL PERMITS, ALSO I HAVE BEEN AN ACTIVE COMPETITOR IN THE
VARIOUS SHOOTING DISCIPLINES FOR OVER THIRTY (30) YEARS.
FOR THE PAST TWELVE (12) YEARS, ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS, I HAVE FREELY
INSTRUCTED APPROXIMATELY 3,000 CIVILIANS, BOTH WOMEN AND MEN; IN THE PROPER
AND SAFE USE, MAINTENANCE, AND HANDLING OF FIREARMS THROUGH CLASSES SPONSERED
BY THE VERO BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT AT THE P.B.A. RANGE.
RESPECTFULLY. COMMISSIONERS, WITH THIS BACKGROUND I DO BELIEVE I AM
QUALIFIED TO OFFER CONSTRUCTIVE INSIGHT INTO THE NEED, USE,'AND OPERATION
OF A SAFE SHOOTING FACILITY FOR USE BY BOTH LAW ENFORCEMENT AND CIVILIANS
ALIKE IN OUR COUNTY.
AS OUR SHERIFF RECENTLY INDICATED THE NEED FOR AN "AVAILABLE RANGE"
FOR HIS DEPUTIES, SO HAVE MANY OF THE CIVILIANS I INSTRUCTED EXPRESSED AN
IDENTICAL NEED FOR SOMEWHERE THEY COULD SAFELY SHOOT WITHOUT ENDANGERING
LIFE OR PROPERTY, OR FEAR ARREST FOR UNLAWFUL DISCHARGE OF A FIREARM.
THE STATE RANGE AT THE PRISON IS NOT AVAILABLE TO POLICE ON A
REGULAR BASIS NOR CIVILIANS AT ALL. THE P.B.A. RANGE IS ONLY OPEN TO
CIVILIANS ENROLLED IN OUR CLASSES OR CIVILIANS WHO HAVE PURCHASED A
RANGE MEMBERSHIP. MANY YEARS AGO THE POLICE RANGE WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC,
BUT DAMAGE DID RESULT AND POTENTIAL DANGER EXISTED WITHOUT RANGE SUPERVISION,
THUS WHEN THE NEW P.B.A. RANGE OPENED.ON SOUTH GIFFORD ROAD, IT -WAS NOT OPEN
TO THE PUBLIC.
COMMISSIONERS, I AM PROPOSING THAT YOU DO NOT RESTRICT YOUR SHOOTING
RANGE DECISION TO THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT ALONE, BUT BRING THIS RANGE UNDER
A PARK AUTHORITY SO THAT IT COULD BE PROPERLY SUPERVISED AND AVAILABLE FOR
PUBLIC USE ALSO.
TO THE NORTH IN ADJOINING BREVARD COUNTY, DIRECTLY ACROSS THE RIVER
FROM THE SPACEPORT IS KARR'S PARK,.FEATURING NUMEROUS RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES
INCLUDING; TENNIS, CAMPING, VOLLEYBALL, BOATING, AS WELL AS A*CIVILIAN

Chairman Scurlock advised Mr. Stegkemper that the
Commissioners are on record as being concerned that the
range at the airport is not open to the public. There is an
interest in what Mr. Stegkemper is proposing as there is a
definite safety problem with people going out to the various
ditch banks and firing high-powered rifles and pistols
without proper supervision. Commissioner Scurlock felt that
if we create a gun range we would want to do it so that it
is safe and it is done in a professional manner. He
suggested that Mr. Stegkemper's presentation be given before
the Parks and Recreation Committee and their recommendation
be brought back to the Board.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons,
SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that the Board
refer this matter to the Parks & Recreation
Committee.
Commissioner Wodtke, referring to the property proposed
by Mr. Stegkemper, recalled that we went through this years
ago on the Property Appraisal Adjustment Board, and he did
not know how much of the 91 acres should be utilized as a
park. He felt the proposed property does have some
potential as it ties into our Oslo Boat ramp where we are in
dire need of parking area. It might be that the County has
some other land that could be used for an exchange.
William Stevenson, who started the Sea Cadet program in
Vero Beach, advised that the program now offers the cadets
the opportunity to shoot for records, and he takes them down
to a range down in St. Lucie County once a month. It would
be of great assistance to him to have a place to go in our
County to teach the cadets how to handle a gun properly.

Re: Contract - Repeater on Kiwanis Hobert Park Tower
Dear Gary,
On July 16, 1981 the County and Isaac Roach entered into a
written contract regarding a repeater on the Kiwanis Hobart Park Tower.
A copy is enclosed.
Recently the owner of the repeater has been incorporated as
The Treasure Coasters Repeater Association, Inc., a Florida not-for-
profit corporation.
I have prepared a new contract to reflect the fact of the
incorporation. The only change of substance in the agreement is
that now the corporation rather than Mr. Roach agrees to hold the
county harmless above the insurance protection. As the corporation
has very adequate insurance this provision is a minor matter.
I also enclose parts of the insurance policy.
If the contract meets.with your approval, please take the
actions necessary to have the new contract executed by the County.
If you have any questions, please phone Ike Roach at 231-2717,

ASSIGNMENT OF OPTIONS FOR SAVE OUR COASTS PROPERTY
Attorney Brandenburg recalled that he had obtained
three options under the "Save Our Coast" program on the
Perlini, West Erdo and Morris tracts, and recommended that
these options be formally assigned to the State so that we
can place them before the Governor and the Cabinet for the
State to exercise those options.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons,
SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the
Board unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Bird
having left the meeting), approved assignment
to the State of the options for the Perlini, West
Erdo, and Morris tracts.
Attorney Brandenburg advised that he has prepared a
Notice of Exercising of Option for the above tracts.
Included in that is an acknowledgment by the County and the
property owner that it is a valid exercise of the option
agreement and a modification of the original option terms.
The County Attorney recommended that the Board approve the
Notice of Exercising of Option for the three tracts.
Attorney Brandenburg explained that the State's process
is such that they have to go through a very arduous
appraisal process and an appraisal review process. He
reported that one appraisal is in on these properties and
another one will be submitted either today or tomorrow. It
is possible that they will not be reviewed and finalized by
the time the Cabinet considers these options. When they
review these appraisals, they set a maximum price. In the
event that the option price that we have negotiated exceeds
that maximum price, the State will not be able to pay it,
but they will already have exercised the option and would
60

AUG 8 1984 BOOK 5 7 Fr1;E 948
feel responsible. In order to get them off the hook so that
they can commit to these tracts, we are getting the property
owners to agree that if the maximum price is less than the
option price, there are three alternative ways we can
proceed:
1) The County can elect to pick up the difference
between those two prices, or
2) Renegotiate a lower price with the property
owner, or
3) Drop the options, period.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons,
SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board
unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Bird having
left the meeting), approved the County Attorney's
recommendations.
NOTICES OF EXERCISING OPTIONS ARE ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF
THE CLERK
REQUEST TO BRING SUIT AGAINST OWNERS OF VILLAGE GREEN
Attorney Brandenburg explained that the owners of
Village Green have been putting insufficient funds into
utility escrow accounts and they have fallen severely behind
in making those payments. He advised that Utilities
Director Pinto has been working with them over the last six
months to get those accounts updated, but they are gaining
at a very slow rate and are still $91,000 in arrears.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons,
SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board
unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Bird having left
the meeting), authorized the County Attorney to
take the appropriate steps in connection with
Village Green.

APPROVAL OF SEWER TARIFF FOR HUTCHINSON UTILITIES
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 7/30/84:
TO: The Honorable Members of thDATE: July 30, 1984 FILE:
Board of County Commissioners
THROUGH: Michael Wright
County Administrator
SUBJECT: HUTCHINSON UTILITIES
1) Order/Resolution No. 84-30
FROM: Terrance G. into REFERENCES: 2) Sewer Tariff
Utility Services Director
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
Hutchinson Utilities has filed a sewer tariff with this department
in compliance with the Order (Resolution No. 84-30) issued by the
Board May 2, 1984(Exhibit "1").
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSES:
The authorized rate of return is 12.44% which includes an unweighed
return on equity capital of 15.7%. This authorized rate of return
is applied to the net base of $217,368. Therefore this tariff will
generate $222,652 in gross wastewater revenues from customers enrolled
as of December 31, 1983(Exhibit 11211).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the approval of this sewer tariff for Hutchinson
Utilities.
Utilities Director Terry Pinto presented staff's
recommendation for approval of the sewer tariff for
Hutchinson Utilities. He advised that a copy was given to
Sam White of the Moorings Property Owners Association and to
Bill Stewart, Attorney for St. Edwards School, and neither
are in attendance today.
Director Pinto noted there were two changes that had to
be made in the Sewer Tariff document on Page 10, under 7.0,
DESCRIPTION OF CHARGES. Under A. Base Facility Charge, the
first sentence should read: "This is a fixed monthly charge
62
AUG 8 1984 Boa 57 Fa,E 949
BOOK 57 PAs�� 950
which represents costs related to having facilities
available for use and reserved by Customers." Another
change is under C. Waste Water Treatment Charge. The last
sentence should read: "It applies to each equivalent
residential unit for each month in which the Customer is
connected to the collection and treatment system."
ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons,
SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board
unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Bird having
left the meeting), approved the sewer tariff
for Hutchinson Utilities, as recommended by
Director Pinto.

MENTAL HEALTH PLANNING COUNCIL
Commissioner Wodtke explained that the Mental Health
Planning Council is one of two that came out of, and took
the place of, the District IX Mental Health Board. This
Council will have a total of 19 representatives, five each
from Indian River and Martin Counties, three from Okeechobee
and six from St. Lucie. The second council will have
representatives only from Palm Beach County. Of Indian
River County's five representatives, there will be one
County Commissioner and one person from the School Board.
The appointments are to made by August 25, 1984.
Commissioner Wodtke offered to be the representative
from the County Commission. He advised that he has
contacted Dr. Harry Hurst from the School Board, who is
considering the appointment. Three other representatives
are needed from the community who are interested in
alcoholism, drug abuse and mental health services. However,
no representatives or their spouses can work for any board

local sponsors. A contribution of $200 to $1,000 would
indicate your dedication to sound decision-making and

sewage in Indian River.
Commissioner Lyons wished to see the County become a

ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons,
SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board

DISCUSSION RE MEDICAL EXAMINER FOR THE 29th DISTRICT, DR.
LEONARD WALKER
Considerable discussion took place regarding the
County's relationship with Dr. Leonard Walker, Medical
Examiner. Commissioner Lyons was appointed to investigate
the associated problems and to meet with the representatives
of the other counties to see if a mutually agreeable
contract can be worked out with Dr. Walker.
Commissioner Lyons indicated that he would need to
gather a little more information before the meeting, and
asked for instructions from this Commission.
The Commissioners agreed that any contract should
state that the position be filled by a full time forensic
pathologist who would use the facility provided at Indian
River Community College.
Commissioner Lyons noted that although it had been our
understanding when we first agreed not to oppose the
appointment of Dr. Walker, that he would be qualified as a
forensic pathologist within a reasonable period of time, we
have received some statements which indicate that he will
not be able to do this.
