TO: The Honorable Members of the DATE: May 20, 1986 FILE:
Board of County Commissioners
THROUGH:
Michael Wright,
County Administrator
FROM: James W. Davis, P.E.,

DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
SUBJECT: Developers Agreement Regarding
Offsite Roadway Improvements -
Ryanwood Shopping Center
REFERENCES:
Joseph Valenza, Murray
Enterprises, Inc., to
May 16,~1986
The developers of Ryanwood Shopping Center, located at Kings Highway and
SR60, are requesting that the County approve a revised Developers Agreement
to allow the Center to open on July 31, 1986 prior to completion of the
widening of Kings Highway. The Developer is agreeing to fund $74,933 of
the road improvements, control traffic prior to Kings' Highway being
opened, and engineer the project. A DOT permit has been obtained.
M
M M M
MEMO= AND ANALYSIS
The revised agreement is similar to the agreement that the Board approved
in the Fall of 1985, with the exception that the dates have been changed
and a reciprocal indemnification clause (paragraph 10) has been added. The
County Attorney does not recommend this clause be included.
The Public Works staff recognizes that a SJRPZID Permit and DER Water Quality
permit is required. Applications for these permits will be processed at
the end of May, 1986.
RECOM� ATIONS AND FUNDING
It is recommended that the Developer's Agreement be revised by deleting
paragraph 10 and be approved.
Chairman Scurlock noted that the track record of the
developer, which in this particular case may be a new developer,
is not particularly good. The County has received some
criticism, as if somehow we have impeded the opening of the
shopping center, and that has not been the case. He wished to
have some assurance that the new entity we are going to be
dealing with is going to be able to perform and that we don't end
up with a lot of occupied units creating a significant traffic
problem with no solution. The Chairman understood that the
monies for the road improvements will be escrowed, but felt that
some kind of performance bond should be required for the actual
traffic control that is going to be necessary in the interim.
Commissioner Bowman noted that although the agreement states
that the developer will arrange to have patrol officers at the
intersection, it does not specify the hours of the day they will
be controlling traffic.
Chairman Scurlock did not want the -County to assume a lot of
liability because this intersection is not the safest of
situations even now. He felt that if we start impacting it with
an additional volume of traffic without the proper safeguards, we
will be facing even greater problems.
Public Works Director Jim Davis noted that, because of what
has transpired, staff was reluctant to indicate to the developer
that the agreement could be extended without again being reviewed
by the Board of County Commissioners.

WATERWAY & LOCATION:
The project is located in the Sebastian Inlet from the inlet
mouth to the Intracoastal Waterway in Sections 20 and 29,
Township 30 South, Range 39 East, Indian River County, Florida.
WORK & PURPOSE: The applicant proposes to maintenance dredge
52,527 cubic yards of material from 2,187 linear feet of an
existing channel to provide project dimensions of 170-290 feet
wide by 9.1 feet deep. Dredged material will be placed on a
diked upland area adjacent to the Sebastian Inlet. The present
location of the channel will remain intact. The type of dredge
to be used in this project will be a suction type which will be
supported by a floating structure. Dredged material will be
pumped to the diked area located approximately 3,500 feet away
from the channel. The purpose of the project is safe naviga-
tional access for recreational boats entering and leaving the
Sebastian Inlet.

ALTERNATIVE & ANALYSIS:
The Planning and Development Division reviews and submits
comments on dredge and fill applications to the permitting
agencies based upon the following:
The Conservation & Coastal Zoning Management Element of
the Indian River Comprehensive Plan
Coastal Zone Management, Interim Goals, Objectives &
Policies for the Treasure Coast Region
The Hutchinson Island Planning & Management Plan
- The Indian River County Code of Laws and Ordinances
The Sebastian Inlet Tax District is proposing to maintenance
dredge an existing channel in an area where dredging has
previously occurred. Although the project site is located in a
designated critical habitat for the manatee, the Army Corps of
Engineers has made a preliminary determination that the pro-
posed work will have no effect on the manatee or its identified
critical habitat. The Corps has indicated that it is currently
coordinating with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for their
concurrence.
Staff is aware that numerous marine seagrass beds are located
within the vicinity of the proposed dredging project, and has
concerns as to the effect of turbidity created by the proposed
dredging on seagrass beds in the area.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners
authorize staff to forward the following comment regarding this
project to the Army Corps of Engineers:
Indian River County recommends that the Army Corps of Engineers
require the applicant to address the issue of potential turbi-
dity damage to marine seagrass beds located in the vicinity of
the proposed project.
Commissioner Wodtke reported that there has been
considerable discussion by the Beach Preservation & Restoration
Committee regarding maintenance dredging at the Sebastian Inlet,
and they would like to suggest that the Board ask the DER to
modify their recommendations on this particular item and require
the District to pump the sand directly on the beachfront property
during the dredging process. There was some concern that the
pumped out sand would contain a certain amount of silt or
particles, up to 50, but he understood that it did not have
anywhere near that amount. In addition, Commissioner Wodtke
urged the Commission to recommend that the Inlet District
consider all alternative measures including sand transfer
systems.

Chairman Scurlock did not want
to miss the opportunity of
commenting on the dredging.
Commissioner Lyons pointed out that one of the reasons why
people are worried about putting the sand directly back on the
beach was because the worm reef was fairly close to shore. He
wondered, the further south you go, if the worm reefs moved away
from the beach, but Art Challacombe, Chief of Environmental
Planning, was not sure. He advised that the Beach Preservation &
Restoration Committee authorized staff to prepare a grant
proposal to the DER to study the extent of the worm reef systems
along our shore line, but pointed out that the DER granted only
13 of 64 proposals and those 13 were on studies of the river. He
believed it is well documented that the DER is favoring estuarine
research over beach research.
Commissioner Bowman felt that we did not need another study
on the reefs because those reefs have been studied for years.
Although there is no question that they are going to have to
dredge this inlet, it will create some turbidity. She noted that
sand transfer stations seem to be very successful and she would
recommend that we urge them to install a sand transfer station
before they do the dredging.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by
Commissioner Lyons, that the Board encourage the
Sebastian Inlet Tax District to find a means to reuse
the sand from the dredging of the inlet on the beaches
in the most direct and expeditious way possible without
any harmful effect on the worm reefs near shore.
Under discussion, Commissioner Wodtke advised that the
dredged sand is very compatible with the beach. At present they
are pumping it out and letting it dry first, but it does not
18
compact as well as when it is placed directly on the beaches.
There is a new system available to separate the particles during
the pumping process.
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 authorized
staff to forward the comment to the DER that we believe
a preferable way to handle this situation would be to
install a sand transfer station, and if this cannot be
done now, -we would like to see the Inlet District come
back in before it is time to dredge again.

WORK & PURPOSE:
The applicant proposes to construct a 2,424 square foot dock.
The dock will be utilized as a multiple boat docking facility
and will accommodate twenty (20) boat slips.
ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS:
The Planning and Development Division reviews and submits
comments on dredge and fill applications to the permitting
agencies based upon the following:
- The Conservation & Coastal Zoning Management Element of
the Indian River Comprehensive Plan
- Coastal Zone Management, Interim Goals, Objectives &
Policies for the Treasure Coast Region
- The Hutchinson Island Planning & Management Plan
- The Indian River County Code of Laws and Ordinances
- Chapter 16Q-20 F.A.C.
The application states that the proposed dock will be utilized
as a residential multiple slip docking facility.
The Indian River County Code of Laws and Ordinances specifies
that residential dock structures are accessory uses to the
principal residential use. The applicant proposes to construct
a multiple -family townhouse development on the upland property.
In order to construct the proposed dock facility, the applicant
must obtain an approved site plan in conjunction with the
principal use.
Staff has not yet had the opportunity to conduct a field survey
of the water area, however, a detailed environmental analysis
will be conducted upon formal submittal of a site plan to the
County.
The proposed dock facility will be located within the Malabar -
Vero Beach State Aquatic Preserve and, as such, is subject to
Chapter 16Q-20 Florida Administrative Code. The Florida
Department of Natural Resources will issue a lease to the
submerged lands once the requirements to Chapter 16Q-20 have
been met by the applicant.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners
authorize staff to transmit a letter to the D.E.R. recommending
that:
1) The D.E.R. and other environmental agencies coordinate
with the County on environmental field investigations;
2) The Department of Environmental Regulation and other
appropriate agencies should consider the potential
cumulative impacts of marina projects upon the Florida
manatee.
Staff further recommends that the applicant submit the
application along with a complete site plan application to the
Planning & Development Division for review and approval by the
Planning & Zoning Commission.

ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously authorized
staff to transmit a letter to the DER with the
recommendations as set out in the above memo.
AUTHORIZATION FOR UTILITY DEPT. TO PROCEED_ WITH GRANT APPLICATION
TO ADD FLUORIDE TO COUNTY WATER
Utilities Director Terry Pinto reported that at a recent
workshop, very little public input was received and the only
negative comments were from people in Sebastian and Roseland who
are not on the County water system. He recommended that the
Board authorize staff to proceed in this matter.
Commissioner Wodtke commented that quite a few doctors have
spoke to him about this issue and they are very much in favor of
fluoridating the County water because of the benefits to
children's teeth.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously authorized
the Utility Dept to proceed with the grant application
to add fluoridation to the County water system.
Commissioner Lyons noted that he attended the meeting and
felt that the State presented some rather convincing evidence,
and Commissioner Bowman felt that some of the objections from the
older people years ago were based on the kind of fluoride
compound they were using at that time.

Chief, Long -Range Planning P&Z Membership
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their
regular meeting of May 21, 1986.
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS
On April 16, 1986, the Board of County Commissioners noted that
on a number of occasions the Planning and Zoning Commission has
had less than full attendance at its meetings. The Board
expressed concern about this situation because in some situations
it required only two votes to approve or deny a development
request. The Board directed the planning staff to determine the
feasibility of increasing the number of members on the Planning
and Zoning Commission.
On May 8, 1986, the Planning and Zoning Commission considered
this item and stated that they had no objection to the commission
being enlarged. However, they felt that it might be appropriate
to have two at -large members who would serve as alternates in
case a regular member was absent.
ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS
In analyzing the possibility of expanding the membership of the
Planning and Zoning Commission, staff reviewed the Commission's
attendance since January of 1984 and polled other local
governments to determine how many members they had on their
Planning and Zoning Commissions. The attendance data is
summarized as follows:
No. of Meetings No. of Meetings No. of Meetings
5 members present 4 members present 3 members present
1984 8 14 4
1985-86 14 14 3
TOTAL 22 28 7
This data indicates that of the 57 Planning and Zoning Commission
meetings held between January 1, 1984, and April 24, 1986, only
22 meetings (or 39 percent) were attended by all members.
Moreover, 28 meetings (or 49 percent) were attended by 4 members
and 7 meetings (or 12 percent) had only 3 members present.
The staff checked with a number of other local governments in the
area to determine the number of individuals they had on their
Planning and Zoning Commissions. Most of the jurisdictions had
more than five members, and some had alternate members. The
survey results are summarized below:

In order to expand the membership of the Planning and Zoning
Commission, Section 26 of the Zoning Ordinance would have to be
amended. In addition, a determination would have to be made as
to how many members the Commission should include and how
additional members would be appointed. The staff feels that the
Commission should maintain an odd number of members to avoid tie
votes when all of the members are present. However, staff also
feels that making the Commission too large would lessen the
importance of attending meetings. If the Planning and Zoning
Commission, were expanded to seven members, the Commission would
still have an odd number of members and would not be too large.
The two additional Planning and Zoning Commission members could
be at -large members appointed by a majority of the Board of
County Commissioners.

Commissioner Lyons explained that they held this item over
because Chairman Scurlock was not in attendance at the last
meeting when this matter was first discussed.
Chairman Scurlock agreed that there has been some great
concern over only three commissioners making a decision on
zoning, and having a 2-1 vote. He felt that although attendance
at these meetings has not been grade A, but pointed out that the
members are volunteers and, in some cases, have placed themselves
at great inconvenience when you consider the financial disclosure
requirements. The Chairman believed that a 7 -member board would
be a better functioning board, and that the addition of 2 members
at large would provide a little freshness.
Commissioner Lyons also wished to see the Commission
expanded.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bowman, that the Board expand the
membership of the Planning & Zoning Commission to
seven members, by adding two members at large;
a quorum to be five voting members.
Commissioner Bowman asked how the terms would be staggered,
and Commissioner Lyons felt that could be worked out when the
Legal Department comes back with a resolution for the expansion.
Commissioner Wodtke discussed the attendance figures
presented in the backup material and pointed out how difficult it
is to find people who can follow the legalities of zoning. He
wondered if it would be wise to expand the numbers.
Commissioner Bird felt that sometimes we try to fix things
that are not broken, and emphasized that he has not received any
comment from people who feel they have been treated unfairly due
to any attendance problem at the P & Z meetings. He advised that
he would vote to leave the membership at five members.
24
� � r
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion
carried by a 3-2 vote, Commissioners Wodtke and Bird
dissenting.
Chairman Scurlock instructed staff to advertise for a public
hearing and prepare an ordinance which would expand the
Commission to 7 members by adding two members at large who would
be elected by the Board of County Commissioners.
Attorney Vitunac asked what would happen at a meeting where
only five members were present and one filed a conflict of
interest and could not vote, and the Commissioners indicated
their intention that a quorum would consist of 5 voting members.
REQUEST FOR COUNTY TO PAVE 210 LINEAR FEET OF 11TH PLACE
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 5/14/86:
TO: The Honorable Members of the DATE: May 14, 1986 FILE:
Board of County Commissioners
TIiROUQi :
Michael Wright,
County Administrator
FROM: James W. Davis, P.E,,
Public Works Director
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
SUBJECT: Request by Developer of
Tommy's Marine for County to
Pave 210 L.F. of Ilth Place
REFERENCES:
As a condition of Site Plan Approval now in effect, the developer of
Tammy's Marine (commercial development along east side of US I north of
11th Place) is required to pave 210± lineal feet of lith Place, a County
maintained road.
Bids received for the work were over $10,000, and the developer has
experienced minimal response from contractors interested in this small job.
As a result, the developer is requesting that the County's Road and Bridge
Department pave this County road and the developer would fund 100% of the
cost for the paving (estimated at $6000).
ALTS OT= AND ANALYSIS
The project could probably be completed in 3 to 5 days. Engineering and
permitting is complete. At the present time, County graders grade this
road and operators must encroach US 1 traffic lanes resulting in .a safety
problem.

Staff is of the opinion that both 11th Place and 11th Street (see attached
map) should be paved to Madrid Avenue so that County graders do not have to
travel US 1. The developer owns Tommy's Transmission, which has frontage
on 11th Street at US 1, and is agreeable to paving his frontage on 11th
Street when he can generate the funds, but not at this time. Both roads
would qualify for the Petition Paving Program since they are County
maintained.
If the County does perform the paving, a precedent should not be set to
allow County paving to support new development unless the County has a
mutual interest and the work can be comfortably scheduled. In this case,
the work is minimal and staff has no objection.
RECONIMEI.VDATION AND FUNDING .
Staff has no objection to this request provided that the $6000 cost be
delivered prior to work commencing.
Commissioner Bird asked if we were getting any participation
from the owner on the other side of the road, and Public Works
Director Jim Davis noted that he is getting a free ride and felt
he should pay his fair share.
Chairman Scurlock suggested doing an involuntary assessment.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, that the Board approve the paving
of the road and authorized an involuntary assessment
roll.
Commissioner Wodtke wondered with the instigation of an
involuntary assessment, if they would be willing to go ahead and
do the other side because then we would have solved the County's
maintenance problems for this entire area.
Director Davis felt that would be a good assumption, but he
could not speak for them.
Chairman Scurlock believed that we have the ability under
our current ordinance to go ahead and have an involuntary
assessment once we have identified a specific problem.
26
COMMISSIONERS LYONS AND BOWMAN EXPANDED THEIR MOTION TO
include 11th Street, 11th Place and Madrid Avenue.
Commissioner Wodtke asked if this would hold up a
Certificate of Occupancy, etc., and Director Davis advised that
they already have their DOT permit.
The Commissioners agreed that because it is a County
initiated assessment that staff should allow the C.O. and
expedite the paving.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion
was voted on and carried unanimously.

General Services Director Sonny Dean introduced Project
Architect Ray Stroud from Frizzell Architects who recommended
that the Board accept the low bid from Schopke Construction &
Engineering on Alternative #2.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, that the Board accept the
architect's recommendation and award the bid to the low
bidder, Schopke Construction 8 Engineering, on
Alternate #2 for Phase II of the new Jail.
Under discussion, Commissioner Bird noted that while this
firm has a multitude of experience, it seems to be only through
small projects.
Mr. Stroud emphasized that the company has a great deal of
experience in masonry construction and in concrete. In addition,
the subcontractor on detention work is presently working on the
first phase of the Jail.
Commissioner Bird asked if there was some way to encourage a
general contractor from Brevard County to make use of
subcontractors in Indian River County so that we can keep our tax
dollars in this county.
Mr. Stroud explained that the bidders were asked to submit a
list of major subcontractors and several of those submitted are
from Indian River County. They expect him to keep those same
subcontractors because he must have a very good excuse to use
someone else.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion
was voted on and carried unanimously.

DISCUSSION RE APPOINTMENTS TO JAIL FAST—TRACK COMMITTEE
Commissioner Lyons explained that according to the agreement
we signed with the Florida Dept. of Corrections, we must
establish a Fast Track Committee which would be composed of the -
following members: Chief Judge of the 19th Judicial Circuit, or
his designee; a representative of the Indian River County State
Attorney's Office; a representative of the Indian River County
Public Defender's Office; the Indian River Jail Administrator, or
his designee; and two private citizens appointed at large by the
Board of County Commissioners. The Committee shall be used on an
as -needed basis in the interim period until the new Indian River
County detention facility is fully operational to determine and
recommend which inmates, if any, must be released or transferred
to another program under the terms of the agreement in order to
maintain the population within the authorized capacity of 73.
Unfortunately, after trying for some time, we have not had any
luck in trying to get this committee started. Commissioner Lyons
reported that he wrote Judge Geiger on May 22nd and advised him
that there is a critical situation here and that we really need
this Fast Track Committee.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED
by Commissioner Bowman, that the Board adopt
Resolution 86-34 to the Chief Judge of the 19th
Judicial Circuit concerning creating a "Fast -Track
Committee" to relieve prison overcrowding.
Under discussion, Commissioner Lyons advised that he also
recommended that our Probation Officer be made a part of the
committee because of the knowledge that he has about the people
who are involved, and part of this Committee's role is to get
information to the criminal justice system about whether or not a
certain individual will show up for trial.

Commissioner Wodtke suggested that the Resolution include
the names of the private citizens who will be appointed.
COMMISSIONERS LYONS AND BOWMAN AGREED TO ADD TO THEIR MOTION
that Terry Goff and Gary Wheeler be appointed as the two private
citizens to serve on this committee.
Commissioner Lyons felt Mr. Goff and Mr. Wheeler would be
good additions to the Committee as one serves on the Jail
Committee and has a considerable background in criminal justice
and the other is quite familiar with the community and exercises
good common sense.
Commissioner Bird felt that both individuals were very well
qualified but wondered if it would be wise or proper to place
them on this committee as both are in the midst of intense
political campaigns.
Commissioner Lyons advised that he informed both these
individuals that this committee would not meet more than once a
week and probably not for more than an hour because the judges
are very, very busy people. He felt that if it turns out to be
too much for these individuals, then we can make another
appointment.
Commissioner Bird felt that perhaps the Board should appoint
retired judges or lawyers as the private citizens to serve on the
committee, but it was pointed out that there are very few
individuals in that category in this area.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion
was voted on and carried unanimously.
Chairman Scurlock emphasized the efforts this county has
made to expedite the building of a new jail and objected to the
editorial that appeared recently in the Press Journal which
implied that we have not diligently pursued this.
30
M M
Commissioner Bird agreed that the tone of the article made
it appear that we did not do our planning homework, but perhaps
the reporter who wrote the article did not live in the county
when we were going through the tremendous jail building effort. -
Commissioner Lyons stressed that today's drug scene has
greatly accelerated the historical trends in criminal cases and
has placed a heavy load on the courts and the penal system.
Attorney Vitunac reported that the attorney who represents
the D.O.C. wants to schedule a meeting with Chief Judge Geiger,
Commissioner Lyons and the local people about what we are
planning to do. He advised that this Resolution will be
delivered to the Chief Judge and to ask again for some
cooperation on this Fast Track Committee. Failing the
cooperation of the Chief Judge, the D.O.C. will come here and
take other action. The County Attorney advised that the press
should be notified of the date of this meeting because it has to
be advertised if more than one Commissioner attends and all the
Commissioners have been invited.

DATA PROCESSING COMMITTEE REPORT
Commissioner Lyons noted that the Data Processing Committee
has found that recent power interruptions have put the computers
off line for an hour or more, causing a significant amount of
down time. The Committee believed these failures were due to
the local power supplies for the computers, and approved the
purchase of local power supplies in order to avoid these
situations. For a large computer, we are looking at costs
somewhere in the neighborhood of $50,000. However, the Committee
found that there is a history of power failures to this building
by the supplier, the City of Vero Beach. Unfortunately, we do
not have a record of these outages, but apparently something
occurs between their power line and .our outlets. Consequently,
the Maintenance Dept. has included $30,000 in their budget for
33
SAY 2 8' 1986 BOOK 64 FpilE577
BOOK 64 PIKSE 578
next year for replacement of the transformers, which is
considerably less than going to the system of power supplies.
Commissioner Lyons was not satisfied with the analysis of
the problem and felt we should delve a little deeper into the
problem even if it means getting some electrical expertise to be
sure that the problem is really here in the building and that the
City of Vero Beach has an obligation to deliver power to this
building. He recommended pursuing these questions with the
understanding that the matter would come back on the Agenda as
soon as possible. He again stressed the high cost of computer
down time, not only in this building, but in the Courthouse
offices.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by
Commissioner Wodtke, that the Board authorize staff to
get some electrical consultant assistance in this
matter at a cost not to exceed $1000, funding to come
out of contingencies, and bring it back to the Board.
Commissioner Wodtke pointed out that there are times during
electrical storms when limbs fall across the power lines, and he
felt direct power supplies is the best way to go.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion
was voted on and carried unanimously.
APPROVAL OF APPLICATION FOR ECONOMIC_ DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION
APPLICATION
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 5/20/86;

TO: County Commissioners DATE: May 20, 1986 FILE:
SUBJECT: Economic Development
Administration application
FROM: William C. Wodtke, Jr. REFERENCES:
County Commissioner
Chairman, Economic Development Committee
The Economic Development Administration regional and state office
representatives will be here to finalize the application on May 27, 1986.
The application must be submitted by May 30, 1986. A completed copy of
the application will be submitted to you as soon as it is finished.
Commissioner Wodtke reported that the final application has
been changed from $45,000 to $34,000 and explained the
differences. Apparently, the EDA did not want to participate in
any brochure type of development and specifically wanted to work
in the technical area. They have indicated that we would be able
to receive $25,000 -- $9,000 would be non -Federal and is mostly
our in-house contribution, as far as the planning staff is
concerned, and there might be approximately $1,000 in there for
