DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION APPLICATION NO. 31-121495-4 APPLICANTS: Figgie Properties 1835 20th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960 WATERWAY & LOCATION: The project is located in the Indian River adjacent to River Way Drive in Section 16, Township 33 South, Range 40 East, Indian River County, Florida. The upland property associated with the project is Lot 13 of Seagrove West Subdivision in Vero Beach, Florida. WORK & PURPOSE: The applicant proposes to construct a private single L-shaped dock extending 55 feet waterward, having a width of 4 feet. The terminal platform of the proposed dock is 5 feet in width and 30 feet in length; total square footage of the dock is 350 feet. No sewage pump -out or fueling facilities are proposed; no dredging or filling is to occur. 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 The Indian River County Code of Laws and Ordinances specifies that residential dock structures are accessory- uses to the principal residential use. In order to construct the proposed dock facility, the applicant must have a principal structure on Lot #13. The proposed dock facility will be located within the Malabar - Vero Beach State Aquatic Preserve and, as such, is subject to 8 Chapter 16Q-20 Florida Administrative Code. A staff review of Chapter 16Q-20 finds that the proposed dock dimensions comply with the size standards set forth in the rule. Staff has not determined the extent to which the submerged bottomlands of the proposed project area will be impacted; the effect of Indian River development on ecologically valuable seagrass beds should be considered. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners autho- rize staff to forward the following comments regarding this project to the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation: 1) The Department of Environmental Regulation and other appropriate. agencies should consider the potential cumula- tive impacts of dockage projects upon the Florida Manatee. 2) The Department of Environmental Regulation and other appropriate agencies should evaluate the potential impact of marina projects on ecologically significant submerged bottomlands such as seagrass beds in the Indian River.

Davis, P.E.f 41- REFERENCES: Public Works Director DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Bids were received June 20, 1986, for the subject project after being publicly advertised throughout the State of Florida. Two bidders responded as follows Dickerson, Inc. Stuart, F1. $3,973,809.36 Ft. Pierce Contracting, Ft.

Both bidders supplied bid bonds, etc. ALTERMTIVE'S AND ANALYSIS Even though only two bidders responded, the bids appear to be cxnnpetitive .. and the low bid is within the budget that has been allocated for the project. RECOMVENDATIONS AND FUNDING Staff recommends: The bid for the subject project be awarded to Dickerson, Inc., Stuart, F1, in the amount of $3,973,809.36 and that funding be approved with Revenues from Fund 109(Constitutional Gas Tax, Local Option Gas Tax, etc.) Chairman Scurlock noted that these projects are to be funded through the local option gas tax monies, and Public Works Director Jim Davis did not anticipate using any of the monies collected from the impact fees at this time. Chairman Scurlock wondered if we start doing some of the major projects with gas tax monies, would there be enough projects of that nature left in that particular district that could be funded with road impact fees. In looking at the budget, he felt that the local gas tax monies are going to have to be geared to supporting the Public Works budget with respect to some of these major road improvements. Commissioner Wodtke suggested putting down both accounts ("and/or") as a source of funding at this time, seeing that we are going into budget workshops shortly. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously (4-0) awarded the bid to the low bidder, Dickerson, Inc. of Stuart, FL., in the amount of $3,973,809.36 for the road improvements as set out in the above memo, with the understanding that we do have the money available in the budget to do the project, and that the actual outlay of the funds will come back to the Board at a later date.

JUNE 24, 1986 FILE: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS THROUGH: L.S. "TOMMY" THOMAS,' ACTING COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR SUBJECT: JAMES W. DAVIS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR 1 12TH STREET PURCHASE OF RIGHT OF WAY FOR INDIAN RIVER BOULEVARD - SOUTH PROJECT #8409 FROM: DONALD G. FINNEY-�1�1- REFERENCES: RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION AGENT DESCRIPTION 1) Parcel #168 - 11.5' R/W Mr. & Mrs. Michael Cooper have agreed to settle for the fait market value of $3,968.00 as full compensation for the 1150 square feet of R/W which equates to $3.10 per sq. ft. for the land and $1.00 square foot for the 402.5 square feet of existing asphalt. 2) Parcel #147 - 8.5' R/W Mr. & Mrs. Raymond .Gallotte have agreed to settle for the fair market value for the R/W requested from the property leased to American Pioneer Savings Bank. Mr. Alex Snow appraised the 2,479 square feet of land at $ 12,395.00 which equates to $5.00 per sq. ft. 3) Parcel #165 - 8.5' R/W- The 7-11 store management in Houston have agreed to settle for the fair market value of $5.25 per square foot arrived at by Armfield, recent appraisal of similar corner property at Primitive Baptist Church across the intersection from this parcel. This equates to $10,741.50 for the 2,046 square foot parcel. 4) Parcel #141 - Frank Zorc - 8.5' R/W A certified letter was sent June 5, 1986 offering to purchase at the fair market value of $2.00 per square foot arrived at by Armf ield's appraisal of the adjoining parcel right of way. This equates to $1,917.00 for the 958.5 square foot parcel. Mr. Snow's adjoining property appraised at $5.00 per sq. ft. Mr. Zorc has agreed to sell at $5.00 per sq. ft. or $4,792.00. 5) Parcel #135 - Forum Spa & Raquet Club - 8.5' R/W Certified letters sent January 22, 1986 and June 5, 1986. No response unable to determine ownership, although the manager has said and refused to give out the Doctor's name or address in South America, of the present owner. June 1986, letter offering to purchase at the fair market value of $2.00 per square foot arrived at by a recent appraisal of a nearby right of way parcel. This equates to $4,795.00 for the 2,397 square foot R/W parcel. 6) Parcel #153 - 3.5' R/W In divorce litigation. I have offered $4.20 per square foot for the 245 square foot parcel or $1,152.00 to the Rennick's. This offer has been sent to Norman Green, representing Ronald Rennick and to Steven Fromang, representing Diane Rennick in the divorce suit. 14 RECOMMENDATIONS It is requested that The Board of County Commissioners authorize the purchase of each of these parcels at their respective fair market value. Secondly, to authorize an appraisal of each individual: parcel and condemnation if they can not be settled within 30 days. FUNDING Indian River Blvd. project #304-214-541-66.12 Public Works Director Jim Davis advised that staff has been trying to clean up the acquisition of the remaining right-of-way needed on 12th Street, and explained each parcel described in the above memo. Chairman Scurlock asked who actually owns Parcel #135, Forum Spa & Racquet Club, and County Right -of -Way Agent Don Finney reported that just yesterday he received a call from the property owner who has the franchise for all of these spas and we will be able to negotiate with him. Commissioner Wodtke understood that we are only authorizing payment of fair market value on these parcels according -to Armfield, but Director Davis said that was not true in all cases as we do not have appraisals for some of the parcels. In those cases we do have a appraisal for the land next them. The owner of Item#4 has not agreed to the $2.00, which we feel is the fair market value of other surrounding parcels on the same roadway, but staff's recommendation is that the Board authorize the purchase of each of the properties at their respective fair market value, including parcel #4 at $2.00 per square foot. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously (4-0) authorized the purchase of the parcels listed in the above memo at their respective fair market value, and if settlements cannot be reached within 30 days, authorized an appraisal of each individual parcel and condemnation. 15 JUL 2 1986 BOOK 64 F,+GE843 FF- JUL 21986 -7 BOOK 64 PnE844 Commissioner Lyons found it most irritating to have read in the local newspaper a very adverse editorial on how slowly the County has progressed in the southerly extension of Indian River Boulevard. He pointed out that we have saved the taxpayers over $1.5 million in recent negotiations for right-of-way, and believed staff would continue to do a very fine job in getting the remaining right-of-way needed. TRI -PARTY AGREEMENT - RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION FROM VISTA GARDENS CONDOMINIUM FOR SOUTHERLY EXTENSION OF INDIAN RIVER BOULEVARD The Board reviewed the following memo dated 6/23/86: TO: The Honorable Members of the DATE: June 23, 1986 FILE: Board of County Commissioners THROUGH: Tommy Thomas, Acting county Administrator SUBJECT: Tri -Party Agreement for Fencing, Drainage Easement, and Right -of -Way .Acquisition Along Vista Gardens Condominium- South Extension of Indian River FROM:James 'James W. Davis, P.E, Public Works Director DESCRIPTION AMID CONDITIONS Staff has met on several occasions with the Board of Directors of the Vista Gardens Property Owners Association and Vista Properties representatives to resolve issues relating to the South Extension of Indian River Boulevard. The attached Tri -Party Agreement has been developed and has been approved by the Vista Gardens Property Owners Association and Vista Properties. The Agreement basically contains the following 1) Provides for donation of needed right-of-way to the County by Vista Properties. 2) Provides for drainage easement for stormwater overflow through Vista Gardens Condominium 3) Provides for construction by the County of a 6' high or 8' high masonry wall along the 1,616 IF west property line of Vista Gardens Condominium. This wall construction will be located in a 15' wide easement on the Vista Gardens property and will cost approximately $71,744 ($42 to $50 per foot) . A variance will be required for this wall. 4) Provides for a new 250' long access road to be constructed by the between the existing Vista Gardens access road and Indian River Boulevard located 600' east of US 1. Cost of this road is approximately $10,000. 16 M M ALTEMATIVES AND ANALYSIS All parties support the attached agreement and recam-end its approval. The Attorney's office and attorneys for the other two parties have reviewed and approved this agreement. RECONMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Staff recommends the Agreement be approved by the Board and the Chairman be authorized to execute it on behalf of the County. Raiding to be from Fund 304, Indian River.Boulevard South construction. Chairman Scurlock believed Item #3 might require a variance and did not know how this Board could take action as the Variance Board is an autonomous group and their appeal is not to this Board but to the Circuit Court. He wondered if we should broaden our ability to do more things within our own right-of-ways instead of looking for variances all the time. County Attorney Vitunac explained that the Board of Adjustments has a right to grant a variance only if the unique shape of the property creates an undue hardship on that piece of property, which is probably not the case here. Chairman Scurlock asked who would grant the variance for the wall construction at Vista Royale, and Assistant County Attorney Jim Wilson believed that the Board of County Commissioners has the authority to grant the variance by ordinance or resolution. Planning & Development Director Robert Keating advised that there is no need for a variance. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that the Board approve the tri -party agreement with Vista Gardens Property Owners Association and Vista Properties and authorize the Chairman's signature, as recommended by staff. Under discussion, Commissioner Wodtke stated that he would vote for the Motion with the understanding that a variance is not required to construct the wall or fence at Vista Royale. 17 JUL � Boor.

AGREEMENT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD SPECIAL ASSESSMENT FOR PAVING OF STREETS IN SUBURBAN ACRES EAST SUBDIVISION The Board reviewed the following memo dated 6/4/86 TO: The Honorable Members of the DATE: June 24, 1986 FILE: Board of County Commissioners THROUGH: Tommy Thomas Acting County Administrator F RO Wames W. Davis, P.E., Public Works Director DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Petition from Property Owners SUBJECT: of Suburban Acres East Subdivision for County to Resurface 32nd Terrace by Special Assessment and to Assume County Maintenance of 32nd Terrace REFERENCES: Petition from Property Owners of 32nd Terrace Twelve of sixteen property owners (75%) representing approximately 73% of the total front footage along 32nd Terrace south of 8th Street have petitioned the County to resurface and restore to County Standards 32nd Terrace by 100% Special Assessment funding and accept this privately dedicated road for maintenance. The road was constructed in 1977 to then existing.County Standards. ALTERNATIVES AMID ANALYSIS Staff performed a visual inspection of the subject road on March 31, 1986. The road pavement and base in some areas requires reconstruction. In addition, a 36" corrugated metal pipe at the subdivision entrance may need replacement in the next 10 years due to insufficient diameter, possible corrosion, and evidence that fill above the pipe is settling which may be due to existing corrosion or to inadequate compaction over the pipe. Staff has also evaluated the function and condition of the road using the County Acceptance Evaluation Criteria adopted in 1981. Based on that evaluation, the road received a rating of 100 points. A minimum score of 100 points has been the past threshold for acceptance. Due to the current numerous petitions submitted for existing dedicated roads under the petition paving program, staff projects that this road would not be reconstructed until mid 1987. Based upon the numerical rating which just meets the 100 point threshold once the road is reconstructed, the staff is of the opinion that acceptance of this road would not impose a burden on the maintenance system once it is reconstructed, except for possible future replacement of the culvert in the Indian River Farms Water Control District Canal. The County's Master Stormwater Plan prepared by Reynolds, Smith, and Hills, Inc. specifies a 8' x 5' box culvert in the 8th Street Sublateral at this location. It is estimated that 50 L.F. of 8' x 5' box culvert with headwalls would cost $15,000. At this time, a 36 round steel culvert is in place. The Property Owners Association representative has indicated that the Property Owners would consent to funding the replacement of the culvert when replacement is necessary, but not at this time. 18 r � � I' � • I ISI 11 ' • � It 11 A !" It is recoffwnded that the Board of County CaTmissioners authorize staff to proceed with scheduling the Special Assessment project of reconstruction of 32nd Terrace. Replacement of the sublateral canal culvertwould be a future obligation of the. Property Owners Association. The funding shall be 100% Special Assessment. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, that the Board authorize staff to proceed with scheduling the 100% Special Assessment project for reconstruction of 32nd Terrace, with the understanding that the future replacement of the sublateral canal culvert will be at the expense of the Property -Owners Association, as recommended by staff. Under discussion, Commissioner Wodtke asked how we could make the Property Owners Association pay for the culvert when the time comes, and Director Davis stated that the County could assess the subdivision regardless of whether or not they all agree. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion was voted on and carried unanimously (4-0)., PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY MASTER PLAN The Board reviewed the following memo dated 6/20/86: 19 JUL 21986 BOOK 64 PAGE 847 r JUL 2 1996 Boa 64 Fm,)E S48 TO: The Honorable Members of the DATE: June 20, 1986 FILE: Board of County Commissioners THROUGH: Tommy Thomas, Acting County Administrator SUBJECT: Public Works Facility Master Plan FROM:James W.

As a result of the Selection Committee meetings and further consideration of the possible expansion of other Department needs, the selection committee is of the opinion that a broader scope of work should be considered to include all County Departments including Utilities, Parks, Building Maintenance, etc. By the development of a Countywide space needs study; proper utilization of the current County Administration Building, .future utility sites, and satellite needs will be addressed. St. Lucie County has recently completed a county -vide Master Plan, including Court facilities. It is estimated that the cost of such a Master Plan would be $100,000 for Indian River County, since certain studies have previously been completed and can be incorporated. cc: Selection Committee Members Terry Pinto, Utilities Director / Chairman Scurlock explained that while serving on this selection committee, it became very apparent after interviewing the various consultants that we need something more than just a Master Plan for Public Works and understood that staff's recommendation is that the Board address our entire space problems during the upcoming budget sessions arid consider expanding the scope of services to include,a space inventory and space needs assessment. Commissioner Wodtke agreed that we need to do something, but hoped we would not have to spend $100,000 for someone to tell us where to put everyone. Commissioner Lyons felt we need somebody such as a space specialist to make sure that we are getting the most out of our office space. 20 Commissioner Wodtke noted that the Clerk of St. Lucie County handles all space, and Commissioner Scurlock agreed that it is a significant problem. KINGSBERRY ROADRIGHT-OF-WAYACQUISITION - BUD JENKINS PROPERTY The Board reviewed the following memo dated 6/23/86: (insert) TO: The Honorable Members of the -June 23, 1986 Board of County Ccomissioners. DATE: FILE: THROUGH: Tawny Thomas, Acting County Administrator SUBJECT: Kingsberry Road (53rd Street) Right -of -Way Acquisition Bud Jenkins Property 10 FROM:James W. Davis, P.E. REFERENCES: Public Works Director DESCRZPTION AMID COMMONS The County's Thoroughfare Plan designates Kingsberry Road (53rd Street) as a Primary Collector Road functioning as the major east/west connector between the future north terminus of Indian River Boulevard'and 82nd Avenue (Ranch Road). At this time, sand mining activity is being conducted just west of the FEC Railway along the Kingsberry Road corridor. Approximately 6 months ago, the owner of the property, Bud Jenkins, was informed that the County would need a road right-of-way through the property and was requested to cease mining in this area. Mr. Jenkins did cease his mining activity in the right-of-way area and has agreed to cooperate in selling of the right-of-way, to the County at. the appraised value. -Filling of a portion of the right-of-way is required, and Mr. Jenkins would be willing to fill the area at an agreed upon cost using material on site. Mr. Jenkin's original mining approval was issued in 1977 and the limits of the mining activity are shown on the attached map. Since 1977, Mr. Jenkins has acquired additional land along the North west of his property which abuts the Lateral H Canal owned by the IM CD. In order to accamcdate the proposed right-of-way and to compensate for the fill in the right-of-way, Mr. Jenkins is requesting that his mining operation limits be revised to incorporate the following: 1) Expand his mining limits to the west to a line 100' east of the east right-of-way line of the Lateral "H" canal. This would reduce the 150' wide buffer requirement in the County's code and would required a variance fran the Board of Adjustments. 2) Allow the owner to excavate the mining operation to a deeper depth. The approved plan shown a depth of excavation to -7.5 mean sea level (existing Ground elevation is +13 feet). Mr. Jenkins would like to operate a dredge in the lake to go deeper. 21 Boa 64 P9 -UE 849 JUL 21986 .A BOOK 64 FADE 85® 7 The above action would require planning and zoning Commission and Board of Adjustment approval., In speaking with the Engineer for the IREWCD, Marvin Carter, there is no objection but formal approval should be given. RECON1VDATI0N AND FUNDING It is recommended that 1) An appraisal be obtained for the 1,8001.f. x 120' wide right-of-way through Mr. Jenkins property. 2) The staff be authorized to work with Mr. Jenkins in negotiating a price to fill the excavated right-of-way area, Mr. Jenkins would have to seek a modification of his mining permit to expand the mining limits and excavate deeper. Funding shall be from Fund 109, Gas Tax Revenue Director Davis confirmed that his recommendation is not to grant a variance. While Mr. Jenkins would like to expand his mining limits, that would have to go through the proper Planning 8 Zoning procedures. Staff is recommending that.an appraisal be obtained for the 1,800 1.f, x 120' wide right-of-way through Mr. Jenkins property and that authorization be given for staff to work with Mr. Jenkins in negotiating a price to fill the excavated right-of-way area. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons,,SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved staff's recommendation as set out in the above memo. Commissioner Bowman felt the minus 7.5 mean sea level was just outrageous, and believed that Mr. Jenkins should not be misled on this because nobody is going to give him a permit to do that. She emphasized that there is no necessity to dredge in sand mining. Robert Keating, Director of Planning S Development, explained that Mr. Jenkins' mining operation was approved years and years ago and the Planning staff has been working with the 22 St. Johns River Water Management District to come up with some general standards for mining. Mr. Jenkins wanted to go 10 feet deeper, but the Water District has indicated that would not be a good situation.

The Read and Bridge Department positions are needed to maintain control in the field. Those senior maintenance workers currently at higher pay levels will be designated as crew leaders. It is recommended that the above five positions be adjusted. The annual cost of $3,246.20 will result in a prorated FY85-86 cost of approximately $800 and can be absorbed in the existing budgets as currently funded. After considerable discussion on whether or not to adjust the salaries of the above five positions at this time, the Board decided that the matter should be addressed during the budget workshops which begin on July 15th. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0) decided to take no action at this time, but agreed to address the personnel adjustments during the budget workshops. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES - ENGINEERING FOR NORTHERLY EXTENSION OF INDIAN RIVER BOULEVARD The Board reviewed the following memo dated 6/26/86: TO: The Honorable Members of theDATE: June 26, 1986 FILE: Board of County Commissioners THROUGH: Tommy Thomas, Acting County Administrator SUBJECT: Professional Engineering Services - Indian River Boulevard North Extension FROM: James W. Davis, P.. REFERENCES: Public Works Directo DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS The Consultant Selection Committee interviewed five engineering firms on June 26, 1986, for the North extension of Indian River Blvd. to Barber Avenue. 24 RECOMMENDATION The Selection' Committee recommends that staff be authorized to begin contract negotiations with the following firms in the prescribed order as listed below: .1) Boyle Engineering - Orlando, FL 2) Greiner Engineering —Orlando, FL 3) Reynolds, Smith and Hills Engineers - Orlando, FL Once a contract is prepared, the Board of County Commissioners will be requested to approve the contract and funding. DISTRIBUTION --- — Members of the Selection Committee MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, that the Board authorize staff to begin contract negotiations with the firms in the order listed in the above memo. Under discussion, Chairman Scurlock asked if any of the local firms were considered, and Public Works Director Jim Davis explained that some of the Focal firms participated in joint ventures with larger firms on this bid due to the large scope of work. Commissioner Lyons advised that it was felt the larger firms would have more environmental expertise in the sensitive wetlands area. He noted that another important area in this project is bridge construction because we may be forced to elevate a part of the road and we want to be able to get it engineered as inexpensively as possible. Commissioner Lyons emphasized that during the interviews, these firms were told that we are looking at the practical problem of overcoming the objections of the people in order to get that road built and built right the first time, and that it is going to be a 4 -lane divided roadway. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion was voted on and carried unanimously. 25 JUL 2 1986 Boor 6 F,,u 8o Fr"JUL 2 1986 Bou 6a r 854 PUBLIC HEARING - PINCUS REQUEST TO REZONE 5.29 ACRES FROM AGRICULTURAL TO LIMITED COMMERCIAL DISTRICT The hour of 9:10 o'clock A.

Pincus, an agent for Albert J. Kaplan, the owner, is requesting_ to rezone 5.29 acres located south of State Road 60, and east of 82nd Avenue from A-1, Agricultural District, to CL, Limited Commercial District. The owner is requesting the rezoning to allow for the development of his property in conformance with the surrounding commercial uses along this, area of State Road 60. On June 12, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4 -to -0 to recommend approval of this request. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the application will be presented. The analysis will include a description of the current and future land uses of the site and surrounding areas, potential impacts on the transportation and utility systems, and any significant adverse impacts on environmental quality. Existing Land Use Pattern Currently the subject property is undeveloped and consists of five acres of a ten acre tract of land. North of the subject property is undeveloped land and a Zippy Mart zoned CL, Limited Commercial District. East, west and south of the subject property is undeveloped land zoned A-1, Agricultural District. Further east is the First Bankers branch office and data center, zoned CL Future Land Use Pattern The subject property and the land to the north, east and west are located within the proposed boundaries of the 650 acre I-95/S.R. 60 commercial/industrial node. The land located south of the subject property is designated as MD -1, Medium -Density Residential 1 (up to 8 units/acre). The proposed CL, Limited Commerical, zoning is in conformance with the commercial/ industrial node land use designation and is consistent with the surrounding CL zoning. Transportation System The subject property will have access to State Road 60 (classified as an arterial street on the Thoroughfare Plan). The maximum development of the subject property under CL zoning could attract up to 3,680 Average Annual Daily Trips (AADT) which will not decrease the existing level -of -service "A" for this section of State Road 60. Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensitive nor is it in a floodprone area. Utilities • County sewer and water will be available to the subject property.

DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Mr. Elson Smith, Jr., an agent for Reva Miller and N.B. Ryall, Jr., the owners, is requesting to rezone approximately 2.4 acres located on the south side of County Road 510 (Wabasso Road) and approximately 300 feet east of U.S. 1 from RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre), to CL, Limited. Commercial District. The applicant is proposing to develop this property for commercial uses. On May 22, 1986, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5 -to -0 to recommend approval of this request. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the appli- cation will be presented. The analysis will include a descrip- tion of the current and future land uses of the site and sur- rounding areas, potential impacts on the transportation and utility systems, and any significant adverse impacts on environ- mental quality-. Existing Land Use Pattern The subject property is undeveloped. North of the subject property, across C.R. 510, is an old grove zoned RM -6 and CL. East of the subject property is a citrus grove zoned RM -6. South of the subject property are single-family residences zoned RM -6. West of the subject property is vacant land and a bait store zoned CL. Further west, across U.S. 1, are two service stations, a truck brokerage, two packing houses, a water tower and two nonconforming single-family residences zoned CH, Heavy Commercial District. 31 J U L 2 1986 Boos 64 mu 859 FF—JUL 21986 Boa 64 fm,c 860 Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan generally designates the -subject property and the land north, south and east of it as LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6 units/acre). However, the Comprehensive Plan also designates a 150 acre commercial/industrial node at the intersection of U.S. 1 and Wabasso Road. The staff and the`' Planning and Zoning Commission have recommended approval of a Comprehensive Plan amendment that would reduce the size of this node from 150 acres to 100 acres. The nonresidential zoning conversion ordinance reduced the amount of commercially and industrially -zoned land in the general area of the node to approximately 150 acres. A subsequent down -zoning of 54 acres of industrially -zoned land to RM -6 has reduced the amount of commercially and industrially -zoned land in this area to approximately 96 acres. Based on the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment and recent rezoning, there are 4 acres of residentially -zoned land in this area which could be included in the node. Since the subject property abuts commercially -zoned land to the west and has considerable frontage on C.R. 510, it seems appropriate to allocate some of the unallocated node acreage to include the subject property in the node. Transportation System The subject property has 700 feet of frontage on County Road 510 (classified as an arterial street on the County's Thoroughfare Plan) and.has direct access to 46th Avenue (classified as a local street). The maximum development of the subject property under CL zoning could generate up to 2,037 average annual daily trips (AADT). County Road 510 currently carries 5,600 AADT at level -of -service "A" with a level -of -service "C" capacity of' 13,100 AADT. Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensitive. The subject property does have a b flood -zone designation indicating an area within the 500 year flood plain. Utilities County water and wastewater facilities are not available for the subject property. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, staff recommends approval. Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There were none.

Mille., REFERENCES: Stout Chief, Current Development IBMIRD Itis requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of July 2, 1986. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Weldon Stout, owner of Lot 7, Block "A" in River Trees subdivision, has submitted a minor site plan as part of a request for special exception approval of a guest cottage in the RS -6, Single-family Residential Zoning District. The subject property is located at 13700 Rufner Lane and is approximately 1.2 acres in size. Recently the applicant constructed a detached garage of approxi- mately 1,000 square feet with the intent of including about 300 square feet of the structure as a guest room and family recreational area. The applicant has certified that the requested guest facilities will never be rented and will be used solely for guests. Pursuant to Section 25.3 of the Zoning Code, Regulation of Special Exception Uses, the Planning and Zoning Commission is to consider the appropriateness of the requested use based on the submitted site plan and the suitability of the site for that use. The Commission then concurrently makes a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners regarding the special exception use and acts on the submitted site plan. The County may attach any conditions and safeguards necessary to assure compatibility of the use with the surrounding area. At their meeting of May 22, 1986, the Planning and Zoning Commission considered Weldon Stout's request to construct a guest cottage. The Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that special exception approval of the guest cottage be given, and granted site plan approval conditioned upon Board approval of the Special Exception Use and the following condition: The applicant shall execute, record and be responsible for any fees associated with recording a document in the public records that forever prohibits said guest facilities from ever being rented. An analysis of the approved site plan follows: 35 J UL 2 1986 BOOK 64 Fiat 8�� JUL 21996 TATT T VPTf� BOOK 64 F�} 864 1. Size of Property: 1.2 acres 2.

DIS�gUTION LIST Commissioners ` �_�� Administrator _JlI- W Perorney �_ sonnel FROM: Doug Wri�ht REFERENCES: Public Works Director, Emergency Management CumMu,nity Dev. �— Util;t;es �— r1i'lance The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is propO_gj4.,a}g a rule which may have a severe negative impact upon Indian Fti County. The proposed rule, 44 CFR 205, establishes procedures by which the states and their political subdivisions may apply for Federal disaster assistance. The specific provision to which I feel the County should object is the establishment of a state- wide minimum threshold which must be met for each disaster before any governmental unit.within the state can be eligible for Federal disaster aid. For Florida, that minimum threshold will be approximately 11 million. Under this proposal; it is not unlikely to suggest a scenario in which our County could be totally devastated by a disaster, but receive no assistance because the state threshold is not met. Thus, Indian River County would have to bear the weight of the state threshold alone. For example, the State of Florida would have to reach a statewide level of 11 million dollars in eligible public damages before the federal government would share in the recovery costs. If these regulations had been in effect during 1985 when Hurricane "Elena" and "Kate" devastated coastal areas of our State, none of the areas affected would have qualified for public assistance. It is respectfully requested that the Commission consider adopting a Resolution opposing this rule and ask our congressional representatives to delay this rule change, thereby allowing for congressional hearings and input from concerned parties. I know this input would.create a more objective and uniform system which will provide an equitable method of establishing state and local financial capability indicators for a cost sharing threshold.

We expect to start harvesting lemons on or about July, 7, 1986, and we must de -green them prior to packing. Unfortunately, the decision making process of the Department of Environmental Regulations does not correspond with the Florida lemon season. We expect that everything shown on our approved Site Plan will be completed on or before October 1, 1986. If this request is granted, we will be glad to provide you with a 100% Performance Bond to guarantee that our project is completed in accordance with all applicable requirements. I would ask that the County Attorney provide me with the necessary specifications for an acceptable Bond. We ask that July 7, 1986, be the effective date. We would appreciate your placing our request on a Commission Meeting agenda most convenient for you. Thank you very much, Sincerely, -�Z9t George F. Hamner President Chairman Scurlock pointed out that George Hamner, owner of the new packing house, moved his operations to a safer location as far as ingress and egress are concerned, and is now requesting that they be allowed to use the de -greening rooms before the total job is completed because now is the time for harvesting lemons. Mr. Hamner is offering to post a 100% performance bond to guarantee that the project is completed in accordance with all applicable requirements. 50 Commissioner Wodtke wondered if a performance bond should be required for the entire plant because Mr. Hamner will not receive a Certificate of Occupancy for the other areas of the plant until it is totally completed. He pointed out that there are different securitiesthat could be used on a short-term basis rather than a cash bond, such as a letter of credit. Chairman Scurlock felt that would be up to the County Attorney to determine, ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved Vero Producers, Inc. request to occupy on an interim basis the de -greening room at the new packing house being constructed on Oslo Road and 74th Avenue; and instructed staff to come up with -an appropriate bond to cover the uncompleted portion of the facility.

SCURLOC(, JA. 1 June 13, 1986 BOOK. 6 4 FAF 8",1 I J U L 2 1986 BOOK 64 FADE 882 Assistant County Attorney Jim Wilson explained that the proposed ordinance was prepared at the direction of the Board and noted that the City of Vero Beach yesterday passed a Resolution to retain the blowing of train whistles and horns within the city' limits.• He advised that Mike Orr of Engineering has estimated the cost of the warning signs which will be needed at crossings throughout the county. The signs will caution people that train whistles and horns will not be blown during the hours of 10:00 o'clock P.M, to 6:00 o'clock A.M. We have not heard as yet whether the City of Sebastian prefers the prohibition of train whistles during the night. Commissioner Wodtke asked if we have the ability to pass an ordinance and make it effective in just the unincorporated areas of the county, and Attorney Wilson confirmed it is within the Board's discretion to decide if the ordinance should apply to just the unincorporated areas or the entire county. He advised that the only liability would be in the placing and maintenance of warning signs, not the actual passing of the ordinance. Chairman Scurlock pointed out that the last time we considered this ordinance, the Board wrote the FEC railroad requesting them to cooperate with the community by not blowing their whistles unless necessary, but they were totally uncooperative. The Chairman opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Ray Scent, 1605 71st Court, which is approximately 6 miles from the railroad tracks, began his arguments in favor of retaining the train whistles by blowing a wooden whistle and pointing out that the railroad used horns and whistles long before there were crossing gates. Mr. Scent noted that the last time this whistle ban was considered, many people signed , petitions against the ban, and he read excerpts from several "letters to the editor" in opposition to the ban. He did not understand why people settle next to railroads if they do not 52 like the noise and emphasized that the railroads were here long before any major growth occurred in this county. Mr. Scent pointed out that the Board of County Commissioners is responsible for the health, safety and welfare of the people in this county and that many lives have been saved by the blowing of a.train whistle or horn, especially when a crossing gate is not working. He did not feel Indian River County should pass an ordinance banning the blowing of whistles or horns just because a few other municipalities have done so and he also raised the point that illiterate people cannot read the signs that say that the horns don't blow. Jack Graham of Vista Royale stressed that the people who are opposed to the horns are also concerned about the safety of their fellowman, but do not agree that the whistles serve to save lives or prevent accidents, many of which occur when vehicles have stalled on the tracks. Mr. Graham reported that 17 municipalities in Florida have passed an ordinance prohibiting the blowing of horns during the night. He felt there were other alternatives to horns, such as intense flashing lights on the engines or a lower speed limit, and in conclusion, he urged the Board to pass this ordinance banning the whistles during the night. Grace Clyman of Vista Gardens stated that she has been a permanent resident for over 3 years and the train whistles do not bother her. She stressed that there is an even greater noise problem from the sirens and horns of police cars and emergency vehicles passing by on U.S. #1. Since that noise cannot be controlled, she did not believe that train whistles or horns should be prohibited either. She urged the Commission to reconsider passing the proposed ordinance. Fred Mensing, resident of Roseland living approximately 400 feet from the railroad tracks, advised that he had the distinction of being a Federally -appointed trustee of a short line railroad for 3 years. He cautioned that a railroad engineer 53 JUL 2 1986 Boor. 64 rnUE 883 JUL 2 1966 BOOK 64 pnH 884 can become very complacent on a freight line such as the FEC and doze off very easily if he does not have to be alert to blowing a horn or whistle at crossings during the nighttime hours. He explained that while there is a white pilot light on the crossing - gate blinkers which is visible up and down the tracks to show that a crossing gate is working, it is virtually impossible for an engineer to see whether or not a gate actually is down. He reported that a crossing gate malfunctioned just last week in Roseland during the daylight hours. Mr. Mensing advised that it takes one-quarter to one-half mile for a heavily loaded train going 35 mph to come to a stop, and strongly urged the Board not to prohibit the trains from blowing their horns and whistles at night. Katherine Gravenmier, 7850 46th Court in Winter Beach emphasized that she would be not be alive today if train whistles were not allowed. About two years ago the lights and gate at a crossing were not working and she would have driven right in front of a train if it had not been for the whistle blowing. Nine years ago her husband and son were killed at a railroad crossing because whistles were not allowed to blow going through Vero Beach. There are many people who work at night and if the whistles are not allowed, more people will be killed. Chairman Scurlock believed that up to now there never has been a law prohibiting train whistles or horns. Florence Reese of Vista Royale complained that and her house guests are not able to sleep at night because of the train whistles, and that the noise makes it impossible for her to open her windows during the night for some fresh air. She felt that it is okay to say, "let the buyer beware," but they purchased their condominium in'the daytime when the train whistles do not blow as often. Sophia Pennoyer of Woodlawn Manor Mobile Home Park complained that the train whistles keep her awake at night, and noted.that even if you can't see a train coming, you can feel it 54 because the whole ground shakes. She hoped that if the Board did not stop the whistles, they at least would make the railroad tone them down. James Sullivan, 110 Springway Court, spoke in favor ofthe ban. He felt that the train whistles are a'health problem also, because he works everyday and getting a good night's sleep is hard to do. John McKirchy, Assistant City Attorney for Vero Beach, advised that the City of Vero Beach passed a resolution last night stating their intention in the event the proposed County ordinance is passed, to pass a City ordinance excepting the City and its territory from the provisions of the ordinance. The City Council considered the competing considerations of safety and noise and came down in the favor of safety. Although the City would not intrude on the County's jurisdiction in the unincorporated areas, the City's passing of this resolution should be interpreted as a vote against the whistle bap. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously closed - the Public Hearing. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, that the Board adopt Ordinance 86-45 prohibiting the sounding of railroad train horns and whistles between the hours of 10:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. in the unincorporated areas of Indian River County. Under discussion, Commissioner Wodtke recalled that he was against the train whistles the last time the ban was considered. He pointed out that the people of Vista Royale feel that the railroad should make use of the high technology available for alerting their engineers to a crossing gate malfunction instead 55 JL 2 1986 BOOK 64 PnIIE885 rr,- JUL 2 1986 BOOK 64 F', EF -6 of relying on whistles and horns. He added that it is very difficult to hear the horn in an air-conditioned car with the windows closed and perhaps the radio turned on. Commissioner Wodtke expressed his disappointment in the City passing a Resolution to retain the whistles and horns during the nighttime hours. He expressed concern over the attorney for the City of Ft. Pierce having advised the City Council that there is some liability and wanted some assurance that we are not placing the taxpayers or -this Board under any liability for passing an ordinance. County Attorney Vitunac disagreed with the Ft. Pierce attorney about the County having any liability in the passing of this ordinance. He maintained that the only liability is through the posting of warning signs and the maintenance and replacement of those signs when necessary. He pointed out that the train engineer can always blow his horn or whistle if he senses any danger ahead, but if it gets to a point where the engineer is constantly blowing his horn, we can always revisit the issue. Commissioner Wodtke suggested modifying the Motion to state that whistles may be sounded if there is any doubt whether a malfunction may have occurred, but Attorney Vitunac felt the wording is fine the way it is. Commissioner Lyons intended to vote for this Motion because he felt we have reached a point where a train whistle does not -have the same effect that it used to have because of air-conditioned cars, stereos, etc., and even if we hear the whistle as a warning, it is going to be too late because the train can't stop. He believed that we are looking at a thing of the past and need to bring ourselves up to date. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion was voted on and carried by a vote of 3-1, Commissioner Bowman dissenting, and Commissioner Bird being absent. 56 - 7/3/86(JIM; nm) ORDINANCE NO. 86- 45 AN ORDINANCE OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, PROHIBITING THE SOUNDING OF RAILROAD TRAIN HORNS AND WHISTLES GETI"/EEN 10:00 P.M.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DON C. SCURLOCK. JR June 13. 1986 The Board reviewed the following letter dated 7/1/86: July 1, 1986 (1)f -f I WN O1-11111 I11 —IE TAX COO I__LECTOO R GENE E. MORRLS, G.F.C. TAX COLLE TOR Mr. Don C. Scurlock, Jr., Chmn. Board of County Commissioners Indian River County Vero Beach, Fla. 32960 Dear Mr. Scurlock: P. O. Box 1509 VERO BEACH, FLORIDA - 32961 TELEPHONEt (305) 567-8180 With reference to the proposed ordinance that registration renewal be denied to those persons who have outstanding parking tickets, I wish to go on record as being unalterably opposed to such ordinance being enacted. 59 JUL 2 1986 BooK 64 F�.c� Fr ­ J U L 2 1986 BOOK 64 FnIH890 The motor vehicle section of the tax collector's office is presently over -burdened with adherence to rules and regulations promulgated by the Division of Motor Vehicles. Our clerical personnel serve from two hundred to five hundred people per day. To require that these personnel expend additional time searching out parking offenders is hardly worth the amount of revenue which would be derived. It is my understanding that the number of unpaid tickets is somewhat less than a hundred. If three or four thousand were outstanding, then maybe it should be considered. There is no way to justify to the other fifty thousand -plus citizens the additional time that would have to be taken on every registration to try to collect such a few tickets. Should the Board decide to go ahead and pass this ordinance notwith- standing my strong objection, I would suggest that the ordinance be enacted on a trial period of no longer than six months. Very my yo rs, �L ene E. Morris, Tax Collector Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. John McKirchy, Assistant City Attorney for Vero Beach, advised that the City Council is on record in favor of this ordinance which would enable the enforcement of payment of parking tickets, as the City's only recourse now is to seek civil suit. He believed that the provisions in the proposed ordinance are very fair. Commissioner Wodtke felt it is difficult to try and determine the impact this ordinance might have, and asked if the City had the ability to go to Small Claims Court to collect these tickets, Attorney McKirchy believed it would not be worthwhile for the City to go through that process and explained the diffi- culties incurred in going that route. Commissioner Wodtke pointed out that if this ordinance is passed in Indian River County, people could always go down to Ft. Pierce to purchase their license plates. He advised that the Tax Collector sold 700 license plates yesterday and if his staff had to look over a list to see if each person had any parking violations, it would involve considerable time and effort and 60 create considerable delay in processing the long lines of people. waiting to purchase their plates. Tax Collector Gene Morris felt that the ordinance would work if we could enter all parking violations into the State's F.C.I.C. computer system by the law enforcement agencies whenever 5 tickets were accumulated; however, the State will not allow that. Commissioner Lyons agreed that the proposed ordinance was a very good idea, but as a practical thing, it would be very difficult to make it work. He felt we ought to give this problem to our state legislators and let them enact a. State law to allow us to put this information into the State license files. Commissioner Wodtke suggested having the history of bad checks come up on the computer also. 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 Wodtke, that the Board request the County Attorney and the attorney for the City of Vero Beach to get together with the Tax Collector and come up with a suggestion for a workable system to present to the State Legislature. Under discussion, Commissioner Lyons advised that the County is planning to impose parking bans in some areas, particularly on roadways along citrus groves. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion was voted on and carried unanimously. 61 JUL 2 1986 BOOK 64 F,�cr �"�1. r JUL 2 1986 BOOK 64 � ,3-r 89P2 CHANGE IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY WELFARE DEPARTMENT GUIDELINES The Board reviewed the following memo dated 6/9/86: TO. Board of County (il DATE: June 9, 1986 FILE:Commissioners Through: L.S. Thomas, Acting County Admini tr FROM: Joyce M Johnston, D Welfare DepartmeryE1 SUBJECT: Change to Indian River County Welfare Department Guidelines �ctoREFERENCES: See Attached Dr. J.B. Tucker, Director, Indian River County Public Health Unit, after working with the Indian River Memorial Hospital to establish a unified screening proceedure for the county pretaining to Maternal Child Health programs is requesting a change of the guidelines for his department. The new guidelines will reflect a 1850 of the current Federal Poverty level. The guidelines state that "The purpose of the Maternity Program is to provide pre and post -natal care for clients who are ineligible for Federal or State programs, and meet the current level of the Federal - Poverty Guidelines as stipulated by the Health Department". I would recommend this change be made to the Welfare Guidelines. Chairman Scurlock understood that the new guidelines will cost the County $29,000 more a year, but felt that if proper prenatal care is not given, then we face the long term expense involved in taking care of those children who have various deficiencies throughout their entire lives. From that standpoint, it saves dollars. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that the Board approve the recommendation as set out in the above memo. Under discussion, Commissioner Wodtke understood that other agencies are using 185% of poverty guidelines, and he asked if the recommended guidelines would qualify those women who cannot 62 get free service and end up walking into the hospital emergency room when they are ready to deliver. Dr. Tucker confirmed that it would, but he felt it would not be, an excessive cost to the County because after we get past the 100% of poverty Level, some sliding scale fees will be imposed. He explained that the difference between the Health Dept.'s fee and'a private -practitioner's fee is that the non-payment of fees is not used as grounds to refuse service. Also any fee that is set by the Health Dept. has to be based on the actual service cost as opposed to any profit being involved, which results in the fee being considerably less. Jan Gay, Assistant Manager of the Prenatal Program, gave a brief rundown on the success of the program which involved 250 woman last year, and explained how good prenatal care for high risk women produces good healthy babies. Chairman Scurlock felt that it could not be emphasized too much that the high cost of liability insurance is impacting the entire medical field; in fact, it is difficult for even those women who can afford to pay to find a doctor because so many obstetricians have stopped delivering babies. Dr. Tucker felt that the this program is covered by risk management and falls under the sovereign immunity of the State of Florida. Commissioner Wodtke realized that while an annual income of $20,000 is not very much these days for a family of four, he knows of many families who manage to get by on that amount. Dr. Tucker stated that basically we are spending a little money now to save a substantial amount later on. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion was voted on and carried unanimously, 4-0. 63 J U L 2 1986 BOOK 64 F'a: t 89, 3 J U L 2 1966 BooK Fa F 894 DISCUSSION RE PHASE II OF THE NEW JAIL WITH GENERAL CONTRACTOR_, ARCHITECT, AND STAFF The Board reviewed the following letter dated 6/30/86: WE I 111 11s, I IKCC4E F,A Schopke Construction b Engineering, Inc. 5• General Contracting and Engineering Services A 1620 Tangerine Sr, Melbourne, FL 32901, (305) 720-0354 Lic. 12794 June 30, 1986 Indian River County 1840 25th Street Vero Beach, Fla. 32960 Attn: Mr. Sonny Dean, Director of General Services Re: Indian River County Jail Phase II Dear Mr. Dean: As a follow-up to our conversation on Friday, June 27, 1986, please accept this letter as Schopke Construc- tion's written confirmation that we fully intend to: 1) Enter into a contract with Indian -River County. 2) Complete the project in accordance with the plans and specifications and in a timely manner. In accordance with this contract between Indian River County and Schopke Construction, the County will hold Schopke Construction, not our subcontractors, liable for timely completion in accordance with plans and specifi- cations. With this requirement at point, it becomes imperative that the General Contractor be able to control his subcontractors with any and all legal means provided him. A General Contractor cannot perform with a sub- contractor that he has no control over whatsoever. This is the case with Willo Products, in the fact that we as General Contractor can foresee that our contractural control will be severely limited if we should subcontract with this subcontractor. If anyone should be reading this letter that has work- ed in a General Contractors office on a bid day then they would know the fast pace and hectic atmosphere preceeding all bids. It is a normal and common occurance that in the days following a bid that a General Contractor will need to make some revisions after has has had time to evaluate all aspects of bids received. Even the County reserves the right for a period of evaluation regarding bids received. Are you maintaining that the County needs several days to evaluate six (6) bids while only.allowing the General Contractor the final minutes left after receiv- ing better than 150 individual bids for everything from Termite Treatment to Toilet Paper Dispensers? t4 JUL This writer, having been the- one -responsible person- for erson-for Schopke Construction's bid was quite surprised on bid day (May 20, 1986) to hear rumors that regardless of who was listed on the list of subcontractors, that the County was going to use Willo Products. This rumor has since appeared to have some credibility since: 1) Scope Sheets were received by the G.C. from three different..Detention Subcontractors. However, only one (Willo) quoted. 2) Upon.asking the other two subcontractors why they did not quote, one replied that he did not want to waste his time and money since a party in the Archi- tect's office informed him that only Willo was going to be approved. 3) This writer has also heard secondhand that the desired Detention Control Subcontractor was told that any monies he lost on Phase I could be made up in Phase II. 4) Never in all my days of construction have I seen an Architect and Owner so determined to stick with a given subcontractor. This determination of the Archi- tect and Owner is carried over and reflected in Willo's uncooperative attitude and inflated price (approximately $54,000 over the other two subs). Therefore Mr. Dean, all we want is the chance to prove our ability as a General Contractor using those subcontrac- tors that have priced this project fairly and without con- sideration for any possible previous deals struck. We sincerely hope this problem can be cleared up with- out involving alot of research and investigation into what we believe is an unfair and illegal situation. We have as General Contractor offered the County a lower and fairly priced cost for construction. We admit to sticking our necks out to some degree in an effort to take advantage of a competitive market. This is not tal be confused with bid shopping, since I never approached l J any sub about lowering their price until it was suggest�d, in your presence, by Mr. DiPalma at our meeting on Wed- nesday, June 25, 1986. Sincerely,. Victor Cros y Project Manager I VC/js cc: Mr. Ben DiPalma, W.R. Frizzell Architects Mr. George Maxwell, Attorney -at -Law Mr. Earl Spencer, Hartford Insurance 65 2 1986 BOOK 64 F,�UE 895 �JUL 2 1986 BOOK 64 U'1 896 Chairman Scurlock felt that this is a very serious allegation in that the above letter alludes to bid rigging, and invited Mr. Victor Crosby, Project Manager of Schopke Construction 6 Engineering, to come up to the podium and be very specific in his answers to questions as to who rigged what. Mr. Crosby explained that this issue was brought about by a simple request by Schopke to change from one approved subcontractor to another on the detention work on Phase II of the new Jail. Schopke originally proposed to use Willo Products, but wished to change to Dean Products. Mr. Crosby stated that prior to bid Schopke had a very distinct understanding, which is not to be construed as an allegation, that the County had a very strong desire to keep Willo Products as a subcontractor for the electronic detention system on the minimum -security facility, and as recently as last Friday, June 28th, Sonny Dean, Director of General Services for the County, stated over the phone that he was very much relieved to see that Schopke had proposed to use Willo Products. Mr. Crosby informed the Board that prior to bid, Schopke received scope sheets from several detention subcontractors; however, at bid time they only received one complete price covering all the detention scope of work, and he was mystified why they did not receive bids from at least two other firms who went to the trouble of sending in a very detailed scope sheet. One of those firms was Dean Products, and that firm is synonymous with Southern Steel, which was on the approved subcontractors list. Mr. Crosby stated that Norman Dean came right out and said that.Ray Stroud, Project Engineer for Frizzell Architects, told him over the phone that it did not matter who was being proposed for the detention equipment because Willo Products was going to be the subcontractor on this project anyway. Further, in a conversation as late as last Friday, Norman Dean reported that he had talked to Mr. Warren Speakman of Electronic Systems,lnc., who stated that he had been told that any monies that he lost on 66 Phase I of the Jail could be made up in Phase II. Mr. Crosby did not know who told Mr. Speakman this and admitted his knowledge of the situation would have to stop with his conversation with Norman Dean. Mr. Crosby pointed out that when the general contractor's bid .was awarded to Schopke at the May 28th meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, Mr. Stroud specifically mentioned that Schopke was proposing to use Willo Products, but at no time did he mention who the sub -subcontractor would be. He then listed the following objections that he got from Mr. Sonny Dean and various representatives.of the architect's office for changing from Willo to Dean Products: 1) That Schopke had listed Willo Products and could not change. 2) That Dean Products was not an approved subcontractor. 3) That Dean Products was not proposing to use Electronic Systems, Inc. In response to the above objections,•.Mr. Crosby pointed out that the general contractor has the right to change a subcontractor for good cause; Dean Products is synonymous with Southern Steel Company, which is on the approved subcontractors' list; and no mention was made at that meeting several weeks ago that Wil.lo would be using ESI either. He believed that somebody had to have made an assumption that Willo was going to use ESI, because at that point even he, himself, did not know which sub -subcontractor was going to be used. Chairman Scurlock asked Mr. Crosby where he got all his information, and Mr. Crosby said Mr. Ben DiPalma of Frizzell Architects had written him a letter saying that Schopke could not change from Willo to Dean Products. In that letter, however, Mr. DiPalma stated that Schopke could change the electrical subcontractor from Brewer to FMR. It was stated that there was a reason for changing the electrical subcontractor, but not the other. Mr. Crosby further advised that Mr.Sonny Dean had stated that Dean Products was not approved, and we discredited that. He, Mr. Dean, also said that Dean Products was not using ESI, and 67 4 JUL 2 1986 BOOK 6 4 c.897 JUL 2 1966 BOOK 64 Fac 898 further stated that Mr. Warren Speakman of ESI stated to him that he would not work with Dean Products. That was also cleared up by a telegram sent to the County stating that yes he would work with Dean Products. Chairman Scurlock asked Mr. Crosby if he had all this documented, and Mr. Crosby advised that while he did not have the telegram, he could get a copy from Norman Dean or perhaps even the County's copy. Mr. Crosby emphasized that all Schopke wanted to do was to change from one approved subcontractor to another because Willo Products had demonstrated to them a hard, fast attitude that it didn't matter who Schopke wanted or what contractual conditions were needed, they were going to be the subcontractor -- take it or leave it. In addition, there was not only an uncooperative attitude but a total lack of cooperation since day one in negotiating a fair price. Willo claimed Schopke used their price, but Mr. Crosby believed that Willo merely speculated that Schopke used their price in putting together the general contractor's bid. He pointed out that a general contractor is not obligated to use any price submitted to him by a subcontractor. Schopke stuck their necks out because they felt there was a better price out there after reviewing an accumulation of separate, individual sub bids from companies such as Morrow. Further, they felt that Willo's price was way out of line and that Willo was taking advantage of a market because they felt they had a very "in" thing on Phase II of the Jail. Chairman Scurlock asked if it was common practice to stick their necks out in the bidding, and Mr. Crosby answered that it was, and that he had consulted with Mr. Schopke on this. He explained that this is a typical norm and they can stick their necks out because as general contractors they do have rights to negotiate after. This is not meant to be construed as "bid shopping". He wished to point out that at no time did they ever go back to Willo and ask them to lower their price until it was suggested to them by Ben DiPalma a week ago Tuesday in the 68 presence of Sonny Dean, Neal Schopke and Bill Baird. At that point they just closed the door on him. Mr. Crosby 'next read aloud a telegram sent to his attention at Schopke Construction: "Re: Indian River County Jail - Phase II, Area C, Vero Beach, Florida -- "Regret we cannot meet a Lower figure of $327,500 obtained by your firm after bid time. We expect a subcontract for $379,000, which amount was quoted prior to bid time and used by you in preparing your bid as evidenced by your listing of Willo Products. In the interest of the time scheduled, we urge that you act promptly." Mr. Crosby stated that there are a couple of things wrong with this telegram. At no time did he ever ask them to lower their price to $327,500. Mr. Jim Barnes of Willo asked him what kind of ballpark figure he was looking at and those are the figures that he could work with. Mr. Barnes further stated that Schopke used Willo's price, which is not true. If Mr. Barnes had been in his office while he put the bid together, he could give some credence to his statement, but this is not the case. Mr. Crosby pointed out that there are just too many circumstances and too much hard core stance. Never in all his years as a general contractor has he seen a subcontractor so determined to ride roughshod over a general contractor as there has been in this case. While he did not feel there was anything illegal or any collusion by anyone in the County.or the architect's office to stay with Willo, he felt that possibly Willo misconstrued some innocent statements. Admitting that it was secondhand information, he repeated that Norman Dean was specifically told by the architect that Willo would be used on this project. Commissioner Wodtke wanted it on record that there is no relationship between Sonny Dean of the County and Norman Dean of Dean Products. Commissioner Lyons asked Mr. Crosby if he was saying that the County conspired to find a way for Willo to make up their 69 BOOK 64 f't.uC 899 2 1 86 UL 9 BOOK 64 [A money, and Mr. Crosby answered that he could not say that the County specifically did that. Chairman Scurlock pointed out that Item #4 in the above letter suggests to him that some sort of collusion took place, and he wanted to get this cleared up, because this Commission has been absolutely open. He pointed out that the County even redid the specifications and rebid the job in order to receive more competitive bids, and that effort resulted in a savings to this County of approximately $850,000. He maintained that Item #4 suggests some concerted effort by either the County staff, the architect, or both, to rig this thing so that one supplier (Willo) would get the contract. He asked Mr. Crosby point blank if this was true. Mr. Crosby emphasized that he is not saying that the County deliberately went in collusion with anybody; he is just saying that possibly some innocent statements were made that might have been misconstrued. Chairman Scurlock repeated that this Commission is wide open and if we need to get a Grand Jury to investigate this matter, we want some names so that we can go over to the State Attorney's Office and do what has to be done. Mr. Crosby recalled that the cut-throat attitudes during the bidding process on Phase I were not in evidence during the bidding on the second phase of the Jail, which led him to believe that a lot of people thought that maybe Willo did have a locked -in situation. Commissioner Wodtke understood that even if the general contractor changed to a sub -contractor with a lower price, it would not save the County one dollar because the County would still have to pay the general contractor the amount in the contract, but Commissioner Scurlock understood that a sharing can be negotiated when allowing them to use a substitute. Mr. Crosby advised that the County was offered a credit back of $3400 if Dean Products was substituted, as they would be 70 saving approximately $8,000 and $5,000 of that is going into a performance bond by Dean, which will give the County additional assurance that this subcontractor will complete. He pointed out that Willo's proposal specifically states "ho bond." Administrator Thomas asked Mr. Crosby about his use of the word "synonymous" when referring to Dean Products and Southern Steel, and Mr. Crosby explained that the contract can be made out to either one, Dean Products or Southern Steel. He agreed that the County should have proof of that. Ray Stroud of Frizzell Architects stated that Dean Products is not on the approved list, but Southern Steel is. He wished to state that at.no time did he say to anyone, including Norman Dean, that Will,o had a lock on this job. However, when you are bidding a job where there is already a portion under construction and you are adding to it, especially in the detention area, the subcontractor on the first phase does have an advantage, and he could have said to someone, "Yes, it would be nice to have him, but we have competitive bids." Frizzell felt there were advantages to having Willo on this job because we would not have to stock two sets of parts. Chairman Scurlock asked if the architect had drawn up the specifications in such a way that it would be the same common parts, and Mr. Stroud said they had not, because in competitive bidding, you have to allow people to bid their own comparable equipment. Southern Steel and Willo do not have comparable equipment in the operation of some of their doors. If we have to go to a different subcontractor for Phase Il, it is very possible that we would have to stock items for that hardware in addition to the items that we are already stocking for Phase I; however, that would depend on what subcontractor was used. He stressed that the approved subcontractors' list is to prevent bid shopping, and the day after the general contractor's bid was awarded, Willo phoned asking who was listed for the detention work, and he told them that they were and that we would be using �si 71 BOOK 6 their bid, they listed Willo as their subcontractor for detention equipment. Chairman Scurlock asked if Dean Products had been on the approved list, whether the architect would have had any objection to using them, and Mr. Stroud answered that they would certainly prefer using Willo because we would not have to stock different parts or have two detention electronics people on site coordinating the work. Chairman Scurlock interjected that he was hearing that Willo was locked in. He noted that while the contract was signed and executed, it.has been held up because General Services Director Sonny Dean discovered that an unauthorized change had been made substituting Dean Products for Willo. Commissioner Lyons asked if the second lowest bidder on the general contract bid Willo, and Mr. Stroud advised that Scandia, the second lowest bidder, bid Fries for detention electronics and control and Taylor, Cotton and Ridley for detention equipment. Mr. Stroud stated he had never heard of the last firm. Commissioner Lyons felt that from a practical standpoint, we are better off to have the same electrical controls and the same hardware because it is going to be a complicated system to maintain otherwise. Sonny Dean, Director of General Services, took exception to the implication here today that he was involved in any conspiracy whether illegal or otherwise. He stated that he never had a conversation with any general contractor or subcontractor prior to this bid being awarded. At that point, he met with Mr. Crosby and Mr. Schopke and did make the statement that we, the County, were relieved that they had Listed Willo. Mr. Crosby confirmed that the first contact he had with Director Dean was after the bid had been awarded. Chairman Scurlock was still having trouble with just how incompatible these electronic and hardware items are, and Mr. 72 -1986 BOOK b Fa,r2 them because we did not want to change. When Schopke submitted their bid, they listed Willo as their subcontractor for detention equipment. Chairman Scurlock asked if Dean Products had been on the approved list, whether the architect would have had any objection to using them, and Mr. Stroud answered that they would certainly prefer using Willo because we would not have to stock different parts or have two detention electronics people on site coordinating the work. Chairman Scurlock interjected that he was hearing that Willo was locked in. He noted that while the contract was signed and executed, it.has been held up because General Services Director Sonny Dean discovered that an unauthorized change had been made substituting Dean Products for Willo.

He stated that he never had a conversation with any general contractor or subcontractor prior to this bid being awarded. At that point, he met with Mr. Crosby and Mr. Schopke and did make the statement that we, the County, were relieved that they had Listed Willo. Mr. Crosby confirmed that the first contact he had with Director Dean was after the bid had been awarded. Chairman Scurlock was still having trouble with just how incompatible these electronic and hardware items are, and Mr. 72 Stroud explained that while the the systems will work together and the _doors will open, some of the parts in those doors are not the same and this might mean a cost of $5,000-$7,000 to stock additional parts for the total job. He felt that the Board should keep in mind that if something goes wrong with a.door, you can't go to just one source. Commissioner Lyons understood that if the Board should decide that we find our situation with this contractor untenable and were to go to the second highest bidder, we would be Looking at a different make of door hardware and some $10,000 in additional parts plus an additional $7,500 contract price. The Chairman called for a recess to allow County Attorney Vitunac time to research the County's options in this matter. After the meeting was called back to order, Attorney Vitunac advised that the County has the following three options: 1) Contract with Schopke without Wi-llo and allow him to substitute a different contractor with different parts; or 2) Contract with Schopke only if he uses Willo, or; 3) Rebid the job with different specifications, and perhaps specifying Willo or specifying something a Kittle tighter. Chairman Scurlock asked on what basis we could reject Schopke's bid, and Attorney Vitunac advised that the Board could reject the bid if they decide after hearing this information that they do want compatibility all the way through because of the life and maintenance problems that might occur otherwise. Mr. Crosby stated that if the Board does not allow him to change subcontractors, they would be taking away a right of the general contractor as set out in the August, 1976 edition of the AIA Document A201, Paragraph 5.2.2, which states: "The Contractor shall not contract with any such proposed person or entity to whom the Owner, or the Architect, has made reasonable objection under the provisions of Paragraph 5.2.1, and further the Contractor shall not be required to contract with anyone that he has any reasonable objection." Mr. Crosby stressed that his 73 BOOK 64 PAGE. 903 J U L 2 1966 BOOK 64 F,a 904 objection to Willo has been a total lack of cooperation since day one. Ben DiPalma, Project Supervisor for Frizzell Architects explained that he denied Mr. Crosby's request to change the subcontractor from Willo to Dean Products because that name did not appear on the list of approved subcontractors. To this day he has not seen any proof that Dean Products is Southern Steel. He had been pleased also to see the job go to Willo, because the compatibility is very important. He stressed that his reason for refusal was for sticking to specifications. Commissioner Wodtke felt that we must have a general contractor and subcontractors who can go out and build this project and get along with each other. Mr. DiPalma stated that they have no objections to using Dean Products if the Board so chooses, but he did object to the alleged misinformation that he has heard this morning. Commiss`-- _ ,:,-ran felt that the architect could have avoided this whole thing if he had written into the specifications that the detention electronics must be thus and so, but in defense of the architect, Mr. Crosby pointed out that Frizzell has done everything reasonably possible to keep the bid open so that the County would receive the best price. He noted that he has seen what can happen when a subcontractor thinks he has an "in", and shuddered to think what that price would have been if only one supplier was listed. Attorney Vitunac asked Mr. Crosby point blank whether Schopke would continue the contract if Willo was kept as the detention subcontractor, and Mr. Crosby said they would not because the County would be taking away a right.granted in the contract. He stressed that if Schopke had received any cooperation from Willo, they would not be here today. Commissioner Lyons asked Jim Barnes of Willo Products if Mr. Crosby's claim that Willo was holding him up was true, and Mr. Barnes answered that he did not think so. He stated that they do 74 not have anything against Schopke and would be pleased to work with them on this job. He noted that he made a number of calls to reconcile this matter, but was unsuccessful. The Board considered breaking for lunch while Mr. Crosby and Mr. Barnes discussed their differences, but Mr. Crosby pointed out that both firms would use Electronic Systems, Inc. in their detention system, so there would be no problem with interfacing the electronic equipment. He reiterated that Southern Steel is on the approved list, but admitted that the County needs to see proof that Dean Products is synonymous with Southern Steel. A Motion by Commissioner Lyons to award the contract to Schopke as bid without the insertion of Dean Products as the detention subcontractor with the understanding that any change would be negotiated with the architect and brought back to the Board failed for lack of a second. Attorney Vitunac felt that it is up to the architect to prove why he does not want the substitution of Southern Steel. Mr. DiPalma continued to argue at great length that we must stick with the specification documents and that Schopke bid Willo as the detention subcontractor. Chairman Scurlock preferred letting the substitution take place because he did not feel that compatibility of the equipment was a problem, but felt the change would depend on ascertaining that Dean Products is a subsidiary of Southern Steel which is on the approved list, and that a performance bond will be posted. Mr. Barnes stated that Willo would be glad to offer a performance bond. Commissioner Wodtke felt that it was important to get this project moving. 75 J U L 2 1966 BOOK 64 F,.Gr 9-015 JUL 2 1996 BOLI( 906 ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Bird being absent) authorized the Chairman to sign the contract with Schopke Construction" based on their original bid amount and their utilizing Southern Steel as a subcontractor with a credit to the County of $3,400, and that Southern Steel will use Electronic Systems, Inc. Commissioner Lyons was unhappy with this matter, and wondered how many more of these situations would be forthcoming. Mr. Crosby stated that at the present time he has no problem with any other subcontractor listed, and assured the Board that he will be getting payment and a performance bond from Southern Steel. FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY'S PROPOSAL TO BUILD BUNKERS FOR POLITICIANS TO SURVIVE NUCLEAR ATTACK The Board reviewed the following memo dated 6/10/86: 76 10 COUNTY CSF CUYAHOGA June 10, 1986 Commissioners Mary 0. Boyle Virgil E. Brown Timothy F.
