Planning & Devel pmerie Director
FROM: Betty Davis REFERENCES: R/E Ade
Code Enforcement Officer DIS:REMS
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their
regular meeting of February 19, 1986.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
The County has been petitioned by Nelson H. Ade, owner of the
subject property, for release of the rear lot 5' easement of
Lots 4, and 7, Block 3, Sebastian Grove Estates. The easements
described as the southwesterly 5' of Lot 7, Block 3, and the
northeasterly 5' of Lot 4, Block 3, Sebastian Grove Estates
Subdivision. These lots are 70' in width by 110' deep. Mr.
Ade's intention is to consolidate the lots into one large
building site meeting the criteria of the C -H, zoning district,
for construction of a business on the site.
The current zoning classification is C -H, Heavy Commercial
District. The property is located within the Commercial
Industrial Node, just to the south of Sebastian City limits.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS:
The request has been reviewed by Southern Bell, Florida Power &
Light Company, Jones Intercable, and the Utility and
Right-of-way Departments. Based upon their review, there were
no objections to release of the easements. The zoning staff
analysis, which included a site visit, showed that drainage
would be adequately handled on-site.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends to the Board, through adoption of a
resolution, the release of the rear lot 5' easement of Lots 4
and 7, Block 3, Sebastian Grove Estates; being the
southwesterly 5' of Lot 7, Block 3 and the northeasterly 5' of
Lot 4, Block 3, Sebastian Grove Estates; as recorded in Plat
Book 5, Page 85 of the Public Records of Indian River County,
Florida.

Commissioner Bowman noted that this property sits on the
sand ridge and it is zoned CH, Heavy Commercial . She understood
that the applicant intends to sell and install solar shield
coating and insulation. She felt we should be very cautious of
what we put on that sand ridge.
Planning 8 Development Director Robert Keating assured
Commissioner Bowman that staff had looked very closely at that
use during the site plan process. He reported that they are
presently working with the St. Johns River Water Management
District to come up with criteria for quantity and quality of
water with respect to development on the sand ridge.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously adopted
Resolution 86-8, granting a release of the rear lot 5'
easement on Lots 4 and 7, Block 3, Sebastian Grove
Estates Subdivision, as requested by Nelson H. Ade.

REPLACEMENT OF COURTHOUSE ROOF

Commissioners
THRU: Michael Wright
County Administrator
SUBJECT: Courthouse Roof
THRU: H.T. "Sonny" an Replacement
Director, Genera ervices
FROM: L AWilliams
uperintendent REFERENCES:
Buildings and Grounds
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
The existing roof on the Indian River County Courthouse was installed
during the 1981 Renovation Project. The roof is covered by the
manufacturer with a five (5) year repair or replacement bond.
Koppers, Inc. is the manufacturer of the roofing material used on
both the Courthouse and the Administration Building.
Koppers is no longer manufacturing the material used, due to failures
in several installations. Koppers is also attempting to "buy out"
the remaining months of the warranty bonds, including the one
covering the Courthouse.
The Courthouse has several areas where the roofing has deteriorated
to a point where repairs are no longer practical. This fact is
known, and agreed to, by the Manufacturers' field representative and
insurance company. Three separate roofing contractors have inspected
the roof and all have agreed that replacement is both warranted and
required to solve our present roofing problems.
Several attempts to remedy the roof leaks by factory appointed
contractors have failed to solve the problem. The Building and
Grounds staff have attempted emergency repairs, which have not
helped.
Koppers or their representatives have not attempted any repairs since
the determination was made that a new roof was warranted, a period of
well over a year, They have made a feeble attempt at securing an
estimate and contractor for replacement of the roof. After some
time, they notified staff to contact a roofing contractor of our
choice and acquire an estimate. The claims supervisor for the
Traveler's Insurance Company (Koppers Insuror) verbally agreed to a
complete replacement with the Insurance Company "footing" the entire
bill.
Staff contacted Atlantic Roofing, Vero Beach, for an estimate.
Atlantic examinded the roof, agreed that a roof was warranted, but
failed to supply us with an estimate. Advanced roofing of Ft.
Lauderdale also failed to supply an estimate after a review of the
roof. After these two attempts by staff to secure an estimate, Lucas
Waterproofing submitted a bid of $33,000. Lucas was awarded the bid
for the annex and warehouse roof replacements during fiscal year 84-
85. Notification to the Insurance Company brought a reply of
authorization of $15,000 towards the cost of replacement.
The roof leaks have caused damage to several rooms in the Courthouse
including Courtrooms A and C.
20
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize staff to solicit emergency bids for immediate replace-
ment of the courthouse roof with payment to come from the Board
of County Commission Contingency Fund and instruct County Attor-
ney's staff to begin litigation.
Replacement will take between three to four weeks depending
upon weather and court schedules. Replacement during the summer
months would be extremely difficult, if not impossible.
General Services Director Sonny Dean advised of the
substantial damage to the Courthouse because of the leaking roof.
Assistant County Attorney James Wilson reported that he has
been in contact with the insurance company, who have informed us
that they intend to pay only $15,000. They also intend to
pro -rate the warranty because the roof has been installed for 5
years with no problems, according to them. The warranty
specifically states that if there are any leaks or problems with
the roof, the company will repair/replace the roof at their cost.
Furthermore, they have not indicated that our estimate is not
reasonable. Attorney Wilson felt that $33,000 is a reasonable
price and recommended that the Board authorize the Legal
Department to initiate a lawsuit against them in an attempt to
regain the full amount of the roof repairs and also authorize the
replacement of the roof as soon as possible.
Commissioner Lyons asked about the other damage, and
Administrator Wright explained that staff wants authorization to
repair everything and sue for everything. Funding will come from
the general contingencies which presently has a balance of
$194,538.
Lynn Williams, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds,
reported that he had received another estimate from a roofer just
this morning, and he recommends replacing the entire roof all the
way downtothe deck at a price of $56,000. The $33,000 figure
is to reroof over the existing two layers of roofing; however,
21
BOOK 63 F.4,c 650
FEB 19.1996
F'F -E B 19 1986
BOOK 63 PAGE 61
the insulation between the roofs has now deteriorated to a point
where it needs to be removed as it is.saturated with water. He
noted the warranty does not state specifically that we can recoup
costs for interior damages, but the roof over Courthouse C leaks
every time it rains.
Administrator Wright suggested that the Board authorize the
County Attorney to sue and authorize staff to solicit emergency
bids on replacement of the Courthouse roof and bring this back at
the next meeting.
Commissioner Wodtke asked if we had a written authorization
from Koppers to go ahead and secure the bid, and Attorney Wilson
advised that the authorization was given over the phone.
Commissioner Bird asked how disruptive this would be to the
activities in the Courthouse, and Mr. Williams felt it has the
potential to be very disruptive; however, it can be done in
sections.
Chairman Scurlock suggested we coordinate the project with
the judges' schedules and try to get the roofing done without too
much disruption.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by
Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously
authorized the County Attorney's Office to
file the appropriate lawsuit and authorized staff
to secure additional bids and bring them back to the
Board with a recommendation.

Don C. Scurlock, Jr., Chairman
Jan. 31, 1986
Assistant County Attorney James Wilson explained that the
proposed ordinance is a bit of a clean up on the Building Code,
Section I of the standard Swimming Pool Code and also adopts the
1985 edition. There are some changes in Section II under
"Condition of Permit". The old ordinance stated that
construction would have to commence within 6 months, and we have
had to define "commencement of construction". Building Director
Ester Rymer feels the best way to determine compliance with this
would be when the second inspection is completed, which is the
foundation inspection.
Commissioner Lyons noted that under "Condition of Permit" it
says that one or more extensions can be given and he preferred to
have a limit on the number of extensions. Administrator Wright
suggested taking out "or more". The Commissioners agreed that
one extension was enough.

It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their
regular meeting of February 19, 1986.
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS
The Planning Department is initiating a request to establish
boundaries for the 40 acre commercial/ industrial. node at the
southern city limits of Sebastian and U.S. Highway #1.

On September 12, 1984, the Board of County Commissioners adopted
an amendment to the text of the land use element of the
Comprehensive Plan which provided for establishing node
boundaries for each of the nodes as generally depicted on the
land use map and described in the text of the land use element of
the Comprehensive Plan.
On October 10, 1985, the staff presented proposed boundaries for
the Sebastian City Limits/U.S. Highway #1 commercial/ industrial
node to the Planning and Zoning Commission. At that time, the
Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request and
instructed the staff to revaluate the node boundaries to
determine if the boundary could be adjusted to include the
Kroegel Homestead property. Subsequently, staff reevaluated the
node boundary and determined that 3.51 acres of the Kroegel
Homestead property could be included in the node boundary if 3,5
acres of residentially developed land were deleted from staff's
original proposal; It is staff's position that the new proposed
boundary is amenable to all parties involved given the size
constraint of the node.
On January 23, 1986, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted
4 -to -0 to recommend approval of this request.
ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS
Two alternative sets of boundaries were prepared for this node.
The first alternative was considered on October 10, 1985.
Subsequently, a second alternative was prepared based on the
Planning and Zoning Commission's desire to adjust the node
boundary to include the Kroegel Homestead.
Both the proposed and alternative boundaries of the Sebastian/
U.S. Highway #1 commercial/industrial node were prepared based on
the following criteria:
1. The general description and size constraint of the node
as described in the text of the land use element;
2. The existing commercial uses in the general area of the
node; ,
3. The existing zoning pattern;
4. Property boundaries;
5. Physical considerations;
6. Environmental constraints; and
7. Access to the transportation network.
Existing Land Use Pattern
All of the existing commercial uses in the general area of the
node are included within the proposed node boundary. These
existing commercial uses include Sebastian Electric and Plumbing
Company, Mavco Inc., Clarks Welding Shop, Palmers Motel and Guest
Cottages, Morgans' Liquor Store, Moodys' Tire and Battery Ware-
house, Ocean Mist Seafood and Steaks, Dyers Auto -body Frame and
Wrecker Service, Sebastian Plumbing, Halmar Diesel Service, and
several mini -warehousing facilities. The node is*surrounded by
existing commercial development to the north, in the City of
Sebastian, the Indian River and existing residential development
to the east, and south, the Sebastian Highland residential
development and undeveloped land to the west and southwest.
27
- M M
Future Land Use
All of the nodes are generally described in the Comprehensive
Plan. The Sebastian/U.S. Highway #1 node is described as:
"There is a forty (40) acre commercial/industrial
node located on U.S. #1 at the South Sebastian city
limits."
The proposed node boundary includes commercial property on the
east side of U.S. Highway #1, south of the Sebastian City limits,
and all of the commercial property in the Sebastian Groves
Subdivision, South of County Road 512, and west of Old Dixie
Highway. The general area of the node will concentrate future
commercial uses around existing commercial uses on U.S. Highway
#1 and in the Sebastian Groves Subdivision.
It is the staff's position that the impact any new commercial
development will have on adjacent residential uses will be
lessened due to the adoption of new dimensional and bufferyard
requirements for commercial uses.
The acreage represented in the proposed node boundary does not
include the acreage of properties which are designated as MXD.
The MXD area is defined as being a corridor located on the west
side of U.S. Highway #1 to a point three hundred feet west of the
F.E.C. Railroad or Old Dixie Highway, whichever is most westerly,
and extends south from the southern city limits of Sebastian to
the northern limits of Vero Beach. The Comprehensive Plan states
that commercial and industrial land uses are anticipated to
"utilize" the majority of land area within the corridor. In this
context, utilize means that the MXD area is for'the expansion of
existing commercial, industrial or residential uses according to
the predominant land use pattern. Nodes provide for the antic-
ipated commercial and industrial growth in the County for the
twenty year life of the Plan. However, the proposed node
boundaries are superimposed on the MXD area to provide a
continuous boundary for the Sebastian/U.S. Highway #1 node,
allowing growth to occur in the MXD area in conformance with the
predominant land use pattern.
The proposed boundaries follow property boundaries in all in-
stances.
Physical Considerations
The slope of the land in the node is from slight to moderate in
character, -.elevations range from 10' to 30' mean sea -level.
The most notable physical feature is the sand ridge which runs
parallel to Old Dixie Highway. The soils in the node possess the
following properties: fair to good compaction characteristics,
low shrink -swell potential, moderate to excessively well drained.
Overall, the aforementioned physical features indicate good
development potential.
Environment
The node area is not designated as environmentally sensitive.
However, all of the land east of U.S. Highway #1 is subject to
flooding, and is located in the 100 year floodplain as depicted
on the flood insurance rate map for the area. Also a portion of
the node (Sebastian Grove Subdivision) is located on the sand
ridge aquifer recharge area. A land use survey of this area
provided the following information. A substantial amount of
development has occured on the sand ridge in this area, and only
5.5 acres which may have development potential remain. It is
staff's opinion that any proposed commercial development will
have a minimal impact on the aquifer or aquifer recharge in this
area.

Access to the Transportation Network
BOOK 63 FAGF 659
All of the parcels of land located in Sebastian Groves Subdivi-
sion have primary access to local streets (Woodmere Road, High
Street and Hewlett Drive) and secondary access to County Road 512
(designated as an Arterial street on the Thoroughfare Plan), and
Old Dixie Highway (classified as a Secondary Collector street).-.
The remaining parcels of land in the node have either direct, or
secondary access to U.S. Highway #1 (designated as an Arterial on
the County's Thoroughfare Plan).
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning
Commission's recommendation, staff recommends approval.
Richard Shearer, Chief of Long -Range Planning, explained
that the P & Z Commission had requested staff to go back and
include the Kroegel Homestead within the boundaries of the node.
Commissioner Bowman noted that this is a very strange
looking node as it extends about 8/10s of a mile from CR -512 down
to the turnoff at Indian River Drive.
Commissioner Wodtke asked what 3.5 acres were being taken
out of the node to make room for the Kroegel property, and
Planner Melsom stated that 3.5 acres of primarily residential
property were deleted from the northern end of the proposed
boundaries.
Commissioner Lyons asked what other type of commercial uses
are along the river, and Mr. Shearer advised that they are listed
on page 2 of the staff memo under Existing Land Use Pattern.
Chairman Scurlock reported how concerned the St. Johns River
Water Management District is about the impact on the river from
development, and {pointed out there is no water or wastewater
service available.
Commissioner Lyons felt it is a growing problem and did not
want to see any additional development of any kind along the
river that doesn't have sewer service.
Commissioner Bowman believed that basically this is a single
family area and there would be just a few uses that would be
grandfathered in, such as the Ferndale Lodge. The welding shop
listed is actually alongside the road, not anywhere near the
29
river. The area along the river is one of the prime real estate
areas in this county and there are just a few lots left.
Mr. Shearer confirmed that the nodal boundaries follow
property lines whenever possible. He pointed out that the P 6 Z
Commission feel that this node should be strictly a commercial
node, not a commercial/industrial node.
Chairman Scurlock was concerned whether the densities in
that area would meet the Health Department's criteria for
permitting septic systems, and Commissioner Bowman added that she
knew that some of the places along there have been dumping raw
sewage in the ditch for years.
Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked if
anyone wished to be heard in this matter.
Rodney Kroegel, 11296 South Indian River Drive, introduced
his daughter Janice Timinsky, who is representing his sister,
Freda Thompson, who has property adjacent to his on the south
side. He emphasized that he has lived on this property since
1903 and it has been used commercially since he established the
Sebastian Electric and Plumbing Company in 1918.
Mrs. Timinsky explained that after the October meeting, her
family had felt sure that all of the Kroegel Homestead would be
included in the node which would bring it to the bend of Indian
River Drive. However, the P 6 Z Commission went by the tax rolls
and only included the 3.5 acres that her father resides on. The
Kroegel Homestead property actually covers 7.5 acres and the
family is concerned about having their property divided by two
different zonings.
Chairman Scurlock understood that staff's recommendation
does not include the entire Kroegel Homestead, gnly about half of
it.
Mrs. Timinsky confirmed that there are commercial uses on
the entire 7.5 acres. She and her husband have a branch office
of the Miami Audio Visual Company, her aunt has a nursery, and
her father has the plumbing company.

Director Keating explained that if it was zoned commercial
and used commercial at the time the Comp Plan was adopted, they
can change the use, expand the use, or sell the property to
someone who could change the use as long as it was a legally
conforming use.
Chairman Scurlock felt that was another reason not to
include it in the node.
Commissioner Lyons certainly did not want to encourage
expansion of commercial in that area and wondered why the node
had to go towards the river instead of extending between the
railroad tracks and U.S. #1.
Mr. Shearer explained that there have been a number of nodes
that straddle the MXD area, such as the Oslo Road/U.S. #1 node,
where the node acreage is not sufficient to include all the MXD
area. Staff has dealt with these situations by putting the node
on either side of the MXD area.
Mrs. Timinsky stated that seven generations of Kroegels have
continued to live on that land and they don't intend to change
it. They wish to keep it the way it has been for the last 100
years.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously closed
the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Bird asked if we have the legal ability today
to expand the node beyond the 40 acres, and County Attorney
Charles Vitunac advised that the hearing was advertised in such a
manner that would not allow the boundaries to be changed without
having another public hearing.
Mr. Shearer advised that although they could not add to the
40 acres today, they might be able to delete, but Commissioner
Bird did not feel right in deleting anything because those owners
might not be here to day to object.
31
Attorney Vitunac pointed out that they have considered
making these advertisements more general so that we might have
any combination of acres in a certain area to reach the total
acreage of a node. That way everyone in the neighborhood would
be on notice that they may or may not be included in the node.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED
by Commissioner Bowman, that the Board establish the
boundaries of the node as indicated on the map
with the exception of the property on the east side
of Indian River Drive.
Under discussion, the Board discussed the property on the
east side of Indian River Drive and felt that the net effect of
the Motion would be that the Kroegels could continue to use their
property as they are now, expand it or sell it with the use.
Commissioner Bowman wished to see the entire node situation
revisited.
Chairman Scurlock felt that if the goal is not to have any
additional acreage in commercial, the Board should go ahead and
include it in the node.
Commissioner Bird believed that by not including the Kroegel
property in the node, it leaves a cloud over the commercial use
of their property and that is the reason they wish to have it
clarified as being in the node.
Commissioner Lyons wanted to try to avoid any expansions of
commercial uses on the east side of the street, and Director
Keating felt that the Motion under discussion would accomplish
that objective, but suggested that the Board direct staff to go
ahead and reduce the size of the node and initiate a rezoning of
this property to residential which would grandfather in any
existing commercial uses, but not allow their expansion in the
future.

COMMISSIONER LYONS rephrased his Motion and
63 U-17693 7
COMMISSIONER BOWMAN SECONDED the Motion to state:
That the Board authorize the size of the node to be
reduced and that the County initiate rezoning of that
piece on the east side of Indian River Drive to
residential with the understanding that the
existing uses are grandfathered in.
Commissioner Bird did not intend to vote for the Motion
because the owners of some of the existing uses did not realize
their property would be affected today and they are not here to
speak.
Commissioner Wodtke felt that since the area has been used
for commercial for years and since staff has done a lot of
homework on this matter, that the Board should include the
Kroegel Homestead property in the node.
Chairman Scurlock was concerned that a rezoning of that area
would make some additional existing commercial uses in there
non -conforming, and didn't feel that was fair.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion
failed by a 2-3 vote, Commissioners Bird, Wodtke and
Scurlock dissenting.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board by a vote of 3-2,
Commissioners Bowman and Lyons dissenting, adopted
Ordinance 86-19, providing for the establishment
of the boundaries of the Sebastian/U.S. #1 commercial/

It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their
regular meeting of February 19, 1986.
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS
The Planning Department is initiating a request to establish
boundaries for the 205 acre hospital/commercial node located
along 37th Street (Barber Avenue).
On April 10, 1985, the Board of County Commissioners adopted
boundaries for the 130 acre hospital/commercial node. At that
time, the Board indicated that they felt the node should be
enlarged to include all of the hospital's property which consists
of 75 acres. This would enlarge the hospital/ commercial node
from -130 to 205 acres.
On December 18, 1985, the Board of County Commissioners adopted
an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan which enlarged the hospi-
tal/commercial node to 205 acres.
On January 23, 1986, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted
4 -to -0 to recommend approval of this request.
On January 29, 1986, the Board of County Commissioners approved
the nonresidential zoning conversion ordinance. This ordinance
rezoned all of the Geoffrey Subdivision to RM -8, Multiple -Family
Residential District. The southernmost part of the subdivision
has been proposed for inclusion in the node previously. However,
on two previous occasions, the Board of County Commissioners has
determined that it was not appropriate to include this part of
the Geoffrey Subdivision in the node.
ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS
In this section, an analysis of the factors used to determine the
proposed enlarged node boundary is presented. The analysis
includes a description of the current and future land uses of the
node, physical and environmental considerations.
The proposed boundary for the enlarged hospital commercial node
was prepared based on the following criteria:
1. The current adopted node boundary;
2. The general description and size constraint of the node
as described in the text of the land use element;
3. The existing medical uses in the general area of the
node;

Existing Land Use Pattern
BOOK 63 P UF. 6 t 1
All of the existing medical uses in the general area of the node
are included within the proposed enlarged node boundary. These
existing uses include: Indian River Medical Center, Indian River
Village Care Center, Vero Care Center, Medical Arts Center;
Rehabilitation Hospital (under construction), Indian River
Associates Medical Office Building (site plan approved), and
Rivendell Psychiatric Hospital (site plan approved). The node is
surrounded by undeveloped land to the north, existing residential
development to the west, undeveloped land to the east, and
undeveloped land and residential development to the south.
Future Land Use Pattern
All of the nodes are generally described in the Comprehensive
Plan. The hospital commercial node is described as:
A two hundred five (205) acre hospital commercial node is
located north of the present Indian River Hospital along
37th Street (Barber Avenue). Commercial uses related to the
needs of the hospital shall be the primary use permitted as
well as residential uses.
Based on the Comprehensive Plan's definition of the node as being
located north of the hospital, staff has interpreted this to mean
that the hospital was not originally considered part of the node.
However, now that the hospital and surrounding area is zoned MED,
Medical District, it does seem more logical to include the
hospital in the hospital commercial node.
The proposed node boundaries will include the hospital's property
which consists of 75 acres and a 10 acre parcel of land directly
south of the Indian River Medical Center property and east of the
hospital's property.
The proposed enlarged node boundaries follow the existing
hospital property boundaries, and transect a parcel of land to
the east of the hospital. This is a 29.94 acre parcel of land,
and transecting it with the proposed enlarged node boundary will
allow the property owner to develop a portion of his land for
medical or commercial use.
Physical Considerations
The slope of the land in the node is from slight to moderate in
character; elevations range from 5' to 10' mean sea -level. The
soils in the proposed enlarged node possess the following prop-
erties: poor compaction and shrink -swell characteristics, and
are poorly drained. Overall, the aforementioned physical fea-
tures indicate poor development potential.
— Environment
Generally, the node area is not designated as environmentally
sensitive; however, approximately one acre is located in a high
marsh area in the eastern portion of the node, as depicted on the
National Wetlands Inventory Map. A site inspection on December
31, 1985 revealed that there was no standing water on the site.
38
Approximately 75 acres of land in the eastern portion of the node
is located within the 100 year Flood plain as depicted on the
Flood Rate -Insurance Map (FIRM) for the area.
Access to the Transportation Network
The parcels of land located in the proposed enlarged hospi-
tal/commercial node have either primary or secondary access to
37th Street (designated as a Secondary Collector on the Thorough-
fare Plan).
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning
Commission's recommendation, staff recommends approval.
Commissioner Bird felt there has been some confusion on
whether or no -t Blocks 14 and 15 of the Geoffrey Subdivision were
included in the node.
Mr. Shearer recalled that on two separate occasions the
Board took the position of not including the two blocks after the
Planning & Zoning Commission and staff had recommended their
inclusion.
Commissioner Lyons asked if proposed boundaries included the
triangular piece on Block 13, and Mr. Shearer advised that it was
not included.
Commissioner Bird hoped that staff's recommendation not to
include those blocks was not due to the Board's earlier two
decisions as he hoped that staff will continue to recommend their
convictions regardless of how the Board votes.
Director Keating stated that basically staff was reacting to
boundaries that had been previous approved and the addition of
the hospital acreage to the xiode. Staff would agree to have
those blocks included, as they don't feel there is a problem with
it.
Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked if
.anyone wished to be heard in this matter.
Michael O'Haire, attorney representing Jill Pease, owner of
property in Block 15, emphasized that he has been before this
Board previously on this issue. He did not feel that it made any
39
FEB 1.9 '� � BOOK 6 FA F 6 6
BOOK
planning sense to exclude Blocks 14 and 15 from the hospital
node. He recalled that in April of last year those blocks were
included in the node, but the Board in their infinite wisdom,
deleted those blocks without the owners being aware there was
even a possibility of that happening. Attorney O'Haire believed
that the black community feels that they would be better served
by having these two blocks in commercial/medical buildings. He
questioned whether anyone would ever build residential on those
50 -ft. lots. He emphasized that a residential use cannot be
forced and urged the Board to include Blocks 14 and 15 in the
hospital node.
William Collins, attorney representing J. D. Malone, owner
of property along the east side of U.S. #1 and the north side of
37th Street, the entrance to the hospital node, objected to the
change in zoning from C-1 to RM -8 and circulated the following
graphic of the Geoffrey Subdivision:

Attorney Collins pointed out that the triangular piece of
property in Block 13 is owned by his client, who took a poll of
.the residents in Blocks 14 and 15 to see how they felt about
their property being rezoned to residential.. He noted that the
majority of the lightly shaded lots shown on the graphic
represent residents who are in favor of commercial zoning, and
the darker shaded areas represent either out -of -county or
out-of-state owners. Only the owners of lots 211 and 212 were in
favor of residential zoning. After the January 29th meeting at
which the property was rezoned from C-1 to RM -8, Mr. Malone
circulated a petition in the neighborhood, specifically, Blocks
14 and 15, and received 46 signatures from those who are in favor
of commercial zoning. He stressed that the problem is that the
RM -8 zoning requires a 20 -ft. front setback and a 25 -ft. rear
setback, but Mr. Malone's property is only 25 ft. deep at the
widest point and contains less than 6000 square feet. If Mr.
Malone removed his present non -conforming use, a tractor service
which has been there for 18 years, he would be left with a piece
of residential property without the proper lot dimensions to
allow a single family home. Mr. Malone is investigating having
an alley to the east side of the property abandoned in order to
add 20 feet of depth to his parcel. However, that still would
only give him space for one single-family home.
Commissioner Bowman asked if the graphic represented owners
or tenants, and J_, D. Malone stated that most of the people who
live on those blocks are owners of the property, and they all
agreed to it except one lady who said she was sick and couldn't
sign, but would go along with whatever the rest of the people in
the block wanted.
Attorney Collins advised that he had the tax rolls available
if someone wanted to check to see who owned what. He stressed
that most of these lots were not developed at this point.
Cliff Reuter, 517 Camelia Lane, presented a 2 -year old
aerial plat map of the area showing the owners of the lots, and
42
s � �
suggested a comparison of those names to the names on Mr.
Malone's petition. He stated he owns property jointly with the
Pease and Idlette families and that they presently have a
contract with builder Kent Grohne for the sale of the property.
After spending a lot of time in the Planning Department and
attending the P & Z meetings, they were shocked and dismayed to
find out that their C-1 zoning had been changed to residential.
He urged the Board to follow the P 8 Z recommendation and rezone
it back to commercial.
Ellis Buckner, owner of Mr. Boo Boo's Barbeque and a tenant
of J. D. Malone, objected to that property being rezoned from
commercial to residential. He was concerned that he would not be
allowed to operate his business in a residential area and urged
the Board to rezone that property back to commercial.
Planner Shearer noted that the hospital district does allow
carry -out restaurants.
A. J. Harris, 1850 38th Place, owner of property on Barber
Lane, understood Mr. Malone's position, but was concerned about
the effect on the community. He felt that even with a buffer
zone, the boundary line would be more appropriate at Barber
Avenue instead of behind Blocks 14 and 15. He believed some
people would have to relocate and stressed how painful it is to
leave one's home.
Kent Grohne explained that he is the builder who has a
contract to buy the property owned by the Reuter, Pease and
Idlette families. He emphasized that he spent several thousand
dollars and took his commercial project right up to site plan
approval just to find out that the property was rezoned to RM -8
on January 29th. He urged the Board to rezone this property back
to commercial.
Reverend Elton Charlie Jones, 1710 38th Lane, opposed the
inclusion of any of the Geoffrey Subdivision, as he, too, had
convassed the community and felt that many people were deceived
into signing the petition because they were led to believe that
43

Scurlock asked,how
many of
their property would be more valuable
if it was rezoned to
commercial. Several people had told him this morning that they
want their names taken off that petition. His survey shows they
don't want to
move, they want it
to stay
residential.
Chairman
Scurlock asked,how
many of
the homes are occupied
by owners, and Rev. Jones felt the majority of them were owners,
but pointed out that there were many vacant lots in Blocks 14 and
15, and many of those owners live out of state. He stressed that
the residents in the subdivision want it to remain residential.
He pointed out that if Mr. Malone's property were to be included
in the node, there is a 70 ft. limit and he could actually do
less with his property. Most of the lots there are 50 ft. wide
so if they are rezoned in the medical zoning, the investors would
have to buy up several lots in order to build. The congregation
of the Church of God By Faith, Inc., located on 37th Place which
is directly across from the back of the lots in Blocks 14 and 15,
are opposed to commercial zoning. They wish it to remain
residential. Referring to Mr. Grohne's position, he found it
hard to believe that any builder would spend several thousand
dollars on a project before buying the property.
Rafus Russ, owner of 2 lots on Barber Avenue, urged the
Board to rezone the property back to commercial.
Tom Pease, 607 Tulip Lane, emphasized that staff and the P &
Z Commission had twice recommended these blocks be included in
the hospital node -and they had felt satisfied that they would be.
He believed that medical buildings would be a benefit to the
community.
Attorney Collins called out the following names of several
owners in Blocks 13, 14 and 15 who came to today's meeting to
support commercial zoning: J. D. Malone, all of Block 13; Lots
185, 199 and 201 are owned by the County; Louise Davis, Lots 186
and 187; Sandra Glover, Lots 188, 197 and 198; Annie Mae Smith,
Lot #189; George Buckner, Lots 193 and 194; Rafus Russ, Lots 206
and 207; Tom and Jill Pease, Lots 213, 214 and 215.
44
Rivers Anderson, P.O. Box 61, Vero Beach, representing
Frances Walker, owner of 3 lots in the SE corner of Block 15,
expressed great concern that the Board rezoned those blocks to
residential after staff and the P & Z Commission had twice
recommended they be included in the hospital/commercial node. He
pointed out that the church might be able to utilize the parking
lot of a commercial/medical building on Sundays or after hours.
He urged the Board to include Blocks 14 and 15 in the hospital
node.
Mr. Lacey, 1225 37th Avenue, objected to the residential
zoning, and understood that his property at 3434 U.S. #1 (inside
the Vero Beach city limits on the south side of Barber Avenue) is
still zoned C-1, but that half of his property located in the
county is now residential.
Kent Grohne questioned why 50-600 of the people were unaware
of the rezoning meetings, and Chairman Scurlock explained that
the public hearings of January 14th and January 29th were
properly advertised and he believed it is the owner's
responsibility to attend the hearings.
Mr. Grohne again stressed that he was working with staff all
along and staff told him that although the property was not in
the medical zone, it was C-1.
Sandra Glover, owner of 3 lots in Blocks 14 and 15, objected
to her property being rezoned to residential because she and her
husband purchased it 9 years ago as commercial and intend to
build suitable medical buildings. She felt this is the best use
for the property and asked the Board not to downgrade their
property.
Jill Pease, 607 Tulip Lane, recalled at the January 29th
meeting the Commission suggested that they bring support from the
people who live in the specific area of Blocks 14 and 15 in the
Geoffrey Subdivision and that is what they have done. She hoped
that it is clear that the people who have signed the petition are
property owners in that specific area. Mrs. Pease believed this
45

FFFEB 19 1986
BOOK 3 F,.,E 679
issue would come up again and again as long as the entrance to
the hospital node remained residential.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by
Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously
closed the public hearing.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, that the Board authorize staff
to do whatever is necessary to include Blocks 13, 14,
and 15 in the hospital/commercial node.
Under discussion, Commissioner Bird noted that while he had
voted against this twice before, it was because he thought he was
trying to protect the residents in that area. After today's
input, he felt there is significant support from the residents to
rezone those blocks back to commercial.
Administrator Wright asked what the timeframe would be if
this passes today, and Mr. Shearer advised that they could bring
it back within 4 weeks, after the public hearing notices are
published.
Commissioner Bowman was not convinced that the majority of
the people who live in that neighborhood want commercial zoning.
She believed that they have been misled and that people would be
displaced by the rezoning, and wondered where they would
relocate. Previously there had been a hope to obtain a grant to
redevelop this property as residential, but there wouldn't be
much of a chance of that happening now.
Chairman Scurlock intended to vote for the Motion even
though he was inclined towards keeping the neighborhood
residential as long as possible, but felt his decision should be
based on good planning.
Commissioner Wodtke wondered if there was anyone in
attendance who now feel they were deceived or misled, and asked
46
if anyone in attendance wished to remove their name from Mr.
Malone's petition in favor of commercial zoning. No one wished
to remove their name, but one gentleman, George Buckner, asked to
sign the petition.
SAID PETITION IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD
Commissioner Wodtke felt that because Barber Avenue is the
entrance to the hospital node and because of the difficulty in
building homes on those 50 -ft. lots, commercial is the best use
of the property. He intended to vote for the -Motion, but he
assured the residents that he would not vote to extend the node
any further into that subdivision. He hoped that when the
Planning staff looks at site plans for commercial/medical
buildings on those blocks, they consider the needs of the
adjacent property owners.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion
passed on a 4-1 vote, Commissioner Bowman dissenting.
DISCUSSION REGARDING STATUS_ OF_RYANWOOD_SHOPPING CENTER
Chairman Scurlock wanted it made perfectly clear that the
County is not holding up the shopping center; we have nothing at
all to do with the delay. It is a financial matter between the
developer of that project, his lending institutions and
contractors.
Administrator Wright explained that the developer had
planned to talk about a temporary median cut on SR -60 this
morning, but had notified him that they could not not be here
this morning and asked for this matter to be put on next week's
Agenda at 11:00 o'clock A.M.
Commissioner Bowman recalled that they had to make
improvements to Kings Highway, and Chairman Scurlock understood
that they have escrowed money with the County for certain
improvements, but Administrator Wright advised that the road
improvements were a condition of site plan. All road
improvements have to be in before they will be issued a
Certificate of Occupancy.
47 Boa 63 Fi r US
Boos 63 'P" ,c 6810
Utilities Director Terry Pinto explained that the only bond
escrowed was for utilities.
Administrator Wright felt that it was going to go through
because it is too good of a place to let go and too much money
has been invested. It is too far along for someone not to finish
it. A notice of foreclosure has been filed, but that will take
another 60-90 days.
FORFEITURE OF BOND - CHARLIE PRICE MINING OPERATION
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 2/5/86:
TO: DATE: FILE:
The Honorable Members February 5, 1986
of the Board of County
Commissioners
DIVISION HEAD CONCURR515JECT: REQUEST TO REQUIRE
FORFEITURE OF BOND FOR
CHARLIE PRICE MINING
OPERATION
Robert M. X a ing; AICP
Planning & Develo ment Director
FROM: Betty Davis REFERENCES: price
Code Enforcement Officer DIS:BETTY
It is requested that the following information be given
formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at
their regular meeting on February 19, 1986.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
On March 9, 1978, the County Planning and Zoning Commission
approved a sand mining application, submitted by Charlie
Price of Global Paving Inc., to mine 5.6 acres of an 18 acre
parcel of_ agriculturally zoned land, located off 22nd
Street4, S.W. and Highway I-95 in Section 36, Township 33,
Range 38, Indian River Farms Company Subdivision. At that
time, the applicant tendered to Indian River County a bond
of $10,000. The subject bond was conditioned upon
compliance with the approved site plan, with forfeiture of
the bond possible if the applicant.failed to comply with the
site plan as approved, which includes restoration of the
site.
Although the County's mining ordinance does not delineate a
time frame within which a mining operation must be com-
pleted, it does, however, as stated in Section 25(r) (11) of
the County's Code of Laws and Ordinances, require a bond to
be effective for full coverage protection at all times
during the entire period of the operation.
48
Due to the impending cancellation of the bond, staff feels
that some action must be taken to ensure that the County has
adequate funds to restore the subject property to an accept-
able condition. The subject bond is due to be cancelled on
February 23, 1986, and the mining operation has not been
completed. /
ANALYSIS:
On January 24, 1986, the applicant was notified that the
County would need continued bond coverage for his mining
operation effective through completion of the project.
Subsequent conversations have not resulted in renewal of a
bond, nor has restoration of the site occurred.
- It is staff's position that the applicant has not acted in
good faith to comply with the County's Code of Laws and
Ordinances by renewing his bond in an adequate time prior to
cancellation of his present bond. The mining ordinance
requires that performance bonds for completion of such
projects remain active as a means of ensuring restoration of
the site by the County, if necessary, using funds from the
bond. Since the bond provides the funds for site restora-
tion and the bond is due to be cancelled on February 23,
1986 without restoration having been completed, staff feels
that the County should exercise its option and require
forfeiture of the bond. These funds could then be used by
the County to bring the subject mining operation into
conformance with the approved site plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends to the Board of County Commissioners that
the $10,000.00 bond be forfeited, and the County take the
necessary actions to bring the subject mining operation into
conformance with the County's Code.
Director Keating explained that the bond is due to expire on
March 15, 1986 and no arrangements have been made to extend it.
As a matter of fact, their insurance agent has notified them that
they no longer issue those bonds.
Betty Davis of Code Enforcement reported that they have
notified h'im by certified mail and she had talked with them this
morning.

BOOK 63 rmu 6-S3
ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously accepted
staff's recommendation to call in the $10,000 bond
at the appropriate time unless other financial
arrangements are made.
Gwenn Bennett advised that if the bond cannot be renewed,
the mining operation intends to post the cash.
STATUS REPORT ON SANDRIDGE GOLF CLUB
Administrator Wright reported that they plan to meet with
the contractor next Monday to renegotiate the construction costs
on the golf course.
Commissioner Bird hoped to bring back a positive report at
the next Commission meeting, but felt that we might have to
adjust our proposed timetable a bit.
Chairman Scurlock advised that bond counsel is proceeding to
have things all in place ready to issue when we give him the
notice which probably would be within 60-90 days. He reported
that Ambec, the insurance agency which has indicated they will
insure the golf course issuer, will probably require the race
track funds to be pledged. He felt we must be very cautious with
those funds because they are the primary source of funds on the
golf course issue.
Commissioner Lyons wished to see them pledged because the
State might decide we cannot have them in the future.
OMB Director Joseph Baird explained that he, Administrator
Wright and Attorney Vitunac had talked to the bond counsel and
even if we were to finance the 30 months of capitalized interest,
we will have to bring the money in there and transfer it out. We
just have to acknowledge that we have the interest covered and
then drop it out at the bottom. It is just a pass through and we
can handle it and they are going to put that in writing to us.

Explanation:
Race Track tax revenues for the 1985/86 year in the amount of $446,500 were
budgeted to be received and expended in the 1980/81 Series Bond Fund (202). , there -
The
1980/81 series bonds were defeased with proceeds from our recent bond issue
fore, the pledge against the Race Track funds was temporarily released and
of the money was no longer needed in Fund 202. the use
The County staff took into consideration this additional revenue of $446,500
during the bond issue and did not borrow the full amount necessary to do the capital
projects. The $380,000 that was not borrowed was to come from the Race Track reve-
nues. This has left $66,500 of which staff recommends the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners use for the following purposes:
In the meeting of April 24, 1985, the Honorable Board of County Commissioners
approved and authorized $35,800 -be used for dune restoration at Wabasso Beach and
the Tracking Station. (see attached) The project was started and $12,538 was ex-
pended in the 1984/85 fiscal year. The $23,261 that is necessary to complete the
project was not budgeted in the 1985/86.year. We are requestin the Honorable
Board of County Commissioners approve $23,261 of the remaining 66,500, to be used
to complete the project as the Board has approved and that the remaining $43,239
be put in the General Fund Contingency for future use.
The above journal entries will accommodate the request set forth above if the
Board of County Commissioners approve.
Director Baird explained that $446,550 of race track revenue
monies is shown coming through:the 1980-81 bond series fund,
which we have now defeased and staff is recommending that we take
that money and transfer it over into the general contingency fund
51
FEB 10

and use $380,000 as a shortfall on capital projects on the $9.8
million issue. All of this was anticipated earlier by staff and
last April the Board authorized $23,261 to be spent on dune
restoration for the two parks. However, the money to complete
that project was not brought forward to the new fiscal year;
therefore, the recommendation is that we add this to our line
item budget with the remaining monies put into general fund
contingencies.
Administrator Wright advised that this move would give us a
balance of $237,000 in general contingencies, but the
$50,000-$60,000 for the Courthouse roof will have to be deducted
from that figure.
Commissioner Wodtke wished to have a moratorium on spending
any more money from contingencies, and Chairman Scurlock agreed
that the Board should take the position not to spend any more
money on capital purchases or hire any replacement of personnel
until we receive a complete report, including the liability
insurance figure.
Administrator Wright stated that they would hate that report
in the next two weeks, but he did not feel it was necessary to
have a moratorium right now. He pointed out .that in some depart-
ments a moratorium on hiring might liquidate the entire
department.
Commissioner Wodtke believed that contingencies are for
emergencies only and that we should not go along spending a
twelfth of the fund every month because even greater emergencies
might arise in the next month or two.
Administrator Wright pointed out that he cannot spend a cent
out of contingencies without bringing it to the Board for
approval.
Commissioner Bird felt we should continue to consider each
situation on a case by case basis.
Director Baird did not feel we are in any danger now, but
should tighten our belt.
52
M M M
Administrator Wright felt he got the Board's message not to
bring anymore requests for contingencies unless it is an

Dear Mr. Dean:
Following is a list of independent cost estimating firms which we
believe are qualified to prepare responsible estimates for the
jail addition. CMS is a relatively small Florida firm, while MDA
has a large international operation. The other two are national
f irms with Florida branches. Shall I ask them to send you
brochures?

MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bowman, that the Board approved staff's
recommendation to contract with Construction Cost
Systems and Hanscomb Associates, Inc. for a total price
of $8500 for costing out the construction of the second
phase of the new Jail.
54
Under discussion, Commissioner Lyons explained that these
two firms will cost out the construction costs of the project so
that we will know if we get a good price from the local
contractor. If we don't get a good price, we will have an idea
of what the upper level cost will be if we have to go out to bid
on the project.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion
passed by a vote of 4-1, Chairman Scurlock dissenting.
DISCUSSION RE DATA PROCESSING COMMITTEE REPORT
Administrator Wright advised that the Data Processing
Committee met yesterday and accepted the consultant's plans with
regards to consolidation of the Data Processing, and, in essence,
creating it as an enterprise account. He believed there were 14
recommendations and the Committee approved 13. The report and
the recommendations will be coming to the Board under separate
cover as they were just too laborious to add today. He
recommended setting up a joint workshop meeting with the
constitutional officers involved and the County Commission simply
to discuss setting up the Data Processing program.
Chairman Scurlock understood there is great interest in
going to a "cad" system where the Planning Department or
Utilities Department could develop all the information in such a
way that a developer could walk in and say "All right, Utilities,
what do I have to do?" And you would pull it down on the screen,
and it would say you are responsible for a 6" line - here's your
nearest connection point, etc., - and you could punch in to get
the same type information for roads, water, etc.
Administrator Wright believed that is the type of question
that could be answered at the workshop.
Commissioner Lyons as.ked if the Sheriff is going to be
involved in this, and Administrator Wright confirmed that the
Sheriff would be involved.

BOOK 63 P" E. V
Chairman Scurlock asked if anyone was going out now and
purchasing equipment, and Administrator Wright advised that
Property Appraiser Nolte needs some equipment and that is
addressed in the report, but it will be compatible. He did not
know if it would be compatible with the "cad" system, but it will
be compatible through a networking system. He just simply hasn't
asked that question. The Administrator stressed that what we
want to do is reduce our costs, and not only does the Property
Appraiser need a program, we need it in Utilities, in Planning,
and in Engineering.
Commissioner Wodtke believed that basically this agreement
seems to be totally acceptable to all the constitutional officers
at this time anyway. Compromises will probably be made, but it
is a good beginning point. He felt one of the key points is that
while we might continue to have some separate systems for a
while, the staff in the operations of our Data Processing is
going to be unified under a central head, and there will not be
separate heads for each constitutional officer's data processing
department: We are going to try to utilize what we have and
maximize on the investment that's there now by bringing all the
technicians and all the technical staff together to the authority
of the Data Processing Board. The next move is going to be a
unified move towards maybe even more of a total consolidation
down the line. The technology seems to change so fast in this
kind of business that is hard to project more than 2-3 years down
the road. Although we spent very little capital last year, there
is going to be significant monies involved. He felt that after
the Commissioners read the report and have a chance to workshop
it, we will find out where we are heading and whether the
constitutional officers are willing to make an agreement.
Chairman Scurlock raised the question of microfilming the
mounds of documents accumulating in the building, and
Administrator Wright believed microfilming is a natural extension
of the Data Processing responsibilities.

Commissioner Lyons wished to have the library system
included in the microfilming program also.
Administrator Wright felt this is the beginning of an
agreement to agree and a master step in diplomacy.
There being no further business, on Motion duly made and
seconded the Board adjourned at 12:00 noon.
