The Honorable Board of County Commissioners entered into
a contract with Cubit Engineering and Abrams Aerial in 1985/86
fiscal year to perform engineering and surveying on the
Barrier Island. The services were not completed by the end of
the fiscal year as predicted. On October 1, 1986, there was
$29,800 remaining to be paid on the Cubit Engineering contract
and $30,579 of the Abrams Aerial Survey Corporation contract.
The above budget amendment facilitates the $60,379 obligation.

Public Works Director Aerial Survey, to
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
Abrams Aerial Survey Corporation is requesting $5,246 for additional
- compensation due to alleged control prcbians associated with the Barrier
Island topographic mapping. The sappirv_ is a component of the Beach
Management Study that Cubit Engineering is performing.
The aerial mapping contract was negotiated on Feb, 26, 1986. Cubit
Engineering recommended that Abrams Aerial Surveys perform the work. At
that time, the scope of work =-olved ._caping only the Atlantic Ocean
coastline. The contractural cost to person,the in control surveys
V.

was $8,500. The County Administrator and the Beach Preservation a�d
Restoration Committee inqpired as to whether the County survey crews could
perform the survey work and the --,.by save the County $8,500. It was
determined that this work could be perfoxpied by County crews.
Later, the Board and staff decided to exr..and the scope of work to include
the entire barrier island north of CR 510, as well as Round Island Park.
This basically doubled the scope of work and necessary survey work to
approximately $17,000 of in -field survey. The mapping contract with Abrams
was approximately $50,285.
Usually, aerial control points are First -orated in the field and targeted
prior to flying the photography. However, Abrams decided to fly the aerial
Photography first, then select control points to be located in the field
from photo identifiable points.
Mien the photos were given to our survey crews, sane points, such as real
estate signs, trees, etc., were relocated or removed after the photography
was flown. The survey crews could not fid these points. There were also
sane points which the survey crews rade minor computational errors.
The County's Contract with Abrams does not contain language which covers
this situation, does not contain a tire of completion, nor liquidated
damages.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
Staff and Abrams have discussed this request for additional c mT)ensation.
Basically, both parties are sansuhat guilty for lack of early ccnmmni-
cation. The Public Works Departre^t did not participate in negotiating the
contract nor did we get to review it prior to execution.
RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING
It is reccnriended that the Board authorize additional cagmnsation in the
amount of $2,623 (50% of that requested) to cover the alleged control
problems. Funding to be transferred from Federal Revenue Sharing
Contingency (102-199-581-099.91) to 102-11-0-515-033.19. `
Commissioner Wheeler was curious about transferring of funds
from last year's budget to this year to pay Cubit Engineering and
Abrams Aerial as he had felt all this was to be completed in
September. He wondered why the project has been running so far
behind.
Public Works Director Davis noted that he did know that much
about the funding of the project, but as far as the scheduling
was concerned, there were some items that delayed the photo-
grammetry to be done by Abrams Aerial, which, in turn, delayed
Cubit Engineering.
Commissioner Wheeler did not have a problem about
transferring the funds, but wished to make sure the funds aren't
dispensed until both of these items have been addressed.

Chairman Scurlock agreed. He believed we have a situation
with three entities - Cubit Engineering, Abrams Aerial, and our
crew - each accusing the other of the delay, and before we make
any payment, we want to be sure, we have a time certain set up
for the completion of this study which is necessary for us to be
in a position to fund a coastal management program.
Commissioner Wheeler was agreeable to the budget amendment
transferring the funds, but stated that he would like to delay
any decision on Abrams Aerial's request for additional
compensation to a future agenda as he would like to review this
with the Beach Preservation Committee. It appears Abrams Aerial
used some non -permanent points of reference, and he felt we must
learn more about this.
Public Works Director Davis informed the Board that January
1st is the scheduled completion of the Cubit survey work, and he
has not heard anything different. Staff disagreed with Abrams
Aerial's request for compensation and informed them they would
not support it on the staff.level, after which Abrams agreed to
complete the photogrammetry and then negotiate. The aerial
survey is now complete.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously approved the
budget amendment set out in the OMB Director's memo of
November 24, 1986, and agreed to table consideration of
Abrams Aerial Survey Corp. for additional compensation
until the next meeting of the Board.

I. Air Curtain Incinerator & Supporting Equipment - Landfill
The Board reviewed memo of Utility Director Pinto:
TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DATE: NOVEMBER 20, 1986
THRU: LES BALCZUN, ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: PINTO, DIRECTOR OF UTILITY SERVICES
SUBJECT: AIR CURTAIN INCINERATOR AND SUPPORTING EQUIPMENT - LANDFILL
BACKGROUND
In the normal landfill operations, all segregated land clearing
debris and yard trash has been burned in an air curtain incinerator
located at the landfill site. The unit is regulated by the Florida
Department of Environmental Regulation (DER) under Florida
Administrative Code Chapter 17-2. DER representatives recently
inspected the unit and, as indicated in the attached letter, have
cited it for excessive emissions and structural inadequacies. The
incinerator has been in operation for over five years and has reached
the point of deterioration _where it will not operate in compliance
with State regulations and is far beyond reasonable repair due to
structural failure.
In addition, the incinerator is presently loaded by use of a crane.
Material to be burned has to be moved from the dumping area to a
small staging site where the crane can pick the material up and place
it into: the incinerator. This method of operation is not only
cumbersome but inefficient in that it requires multiple handling of
the material and the use of two separate machines and operators.
Further, the crane utilized at the burner is the dragline that is
normally utilized in the borrow pit for excavation of cover material.
It is presently being operated at the burner because the crane
normally used is broken down and beyond repair.
In short, the incineration of land clearing debris and burnable
materials at the landfill is practically at a standstill and the
material is rapidly accumulating on the site. This comes at a time
when the closing of the first phase of the landfill is rapidly
approaching and we need all available space until a DER permit has
been obtained and construction has been completed on Phase II.
Use of an air curtain incinerator in the normal operations of the
landfill has been invaluable in saving space and extending the life
of the landfill. In addition, the incinerator units are acceptable
under State air regulations for the reduction of land clearing
debris, yard trash, and clean wood.
-The landfill life extension capability of the incinerator has been
extremely valuable in the final closing stages of the current
landfill phase and has probably given the phase an additional one and
half years of operational life. In fact, if the burnable materials
presently stockpiled for burning had been placed on the working face
of the landfill, the first phase would probably be filled to capacity
and require closing.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff has investigated the costs for replacement of the air curtain
incinerator and supporting equipment and has determined the following
a imate costs: -
1
1. Air Curtain Incinerator $180,000.00
2. Large Front Loader with grapple 90,000.00
3. Small Front Loader for cleaning
the air curtain incinerator 26,000.00
Staff recommends and requests that the Board authorize staff to
advertise forbids for a new air curtain incinerator and the required
su=port equipment. The incinerator and equipment will be replaced
ut1lizing the Landfill Renewal and Replacement Account. _
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously authorized
staff to advertise for bids for a new air curtain incin-
erator and support equipment as requested by staff.

Commissioners '
REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION
SUBJECT: TO ADVERTISE PROPOSED 911
ORDINANCE
�, Robert M. Keating, AICPk&ik- 911 Ordinance
FROM: • Director REFERENCES: IBMIRD
Planning & Development Division
It is requested that the information herein presented be given
formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at
their regular meeting of December 2, 1986.
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS:
The integrity of Indian River County's 911 system is dependent
upon a consistent system of house numbering implemented county-
wide. This system must adhere to a grid which establishes
numbered roadways relating to a central zero point. House
numbers are then assigned based upon this grid pattern.
Indian River County already has an established grid system with
streets running in an east/west direction and avenues oriented
north/south. Street numbers increase both north and south of
lst Street, while avenues increase east and west of the Intra
Coastal Waterway. This system is used by the County staff in
assigning numbers for new structures.
Although this system is used by all local governments in the
County to assign house numbers, there is no ordinance establish-
ing this system and requiring its use. In addition, there is
no local requirement for building occupants to accept this
system and use correct numbers. There is also no mandate for
incorrect numbers and street designations to be changed.

jurisdiction, there are several areas where the house numbering
does not conform to the established system. Because of resis-
tance by local residents, it is difficult for the staff to
change incorrect existing house numbers. Without an ordinance
_ requiring adherence to the established system, correcting.
problems becomes almost impossible.
ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS:
In staff meetings between the County and the City of Vero
Beach, a consensus has been reached regarding this matter.
After assessing conditions, both staffs feel that a formal
ordinance officially establishing the grid system and requiring
conformity to it is necessary. Consequently, the staff of each
jurisdiction developed a draft ordinance to accomplish the
stated purpose.
Several alternatives exist regarding the 911 situation. First,
the Commission has the choice of taking no action and retaining
the existing system with its flaws, including some inaccurate
house numbering or incorrectly designated roadways. Alter-
nately, ---the Commission could direct staff to initiate the
process of adopting a grid/house numbering/911 ordinance.
Another alternative is to implement an ordinance either county-
wide or limited to the unincorporated area. Since the staff of
the City of Vero Beach already has a. draft ordinance as does
the County staff, either alternative would be supported by the
city staff. Because of the countywide nature of the 911
system, the staff feels that the ordinance should be countywide
in scope.
It is the staff's position that an ordinance formalizing the
grid system and requiring conformance with it is necessary.
This is a position shared not only by the City of Vero Beach
but also by the emergency agencies which use the 911 system on
a daily basis. To get the most effective ordinance, it would.
be necessary to combine the existing draft ordinances of both
the City and the County into one ordinance to have countywide
jurisdiction.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners
authorize the staff to initiate the process of adopting a house
numbering/911 ordinance to be effective countywide.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously authorized
staff to initiate the process of adopting a countywide
house numbering/911 ordinance.

Intersection 4th Street & 27th
Avenue
FROM:
Donald G. Finney, sRA—�-REFERENCES:
Right -of -Way Acquisition Agent
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
To widen 4th Street at the 27th Avenue intersection to three lanes, the
County must acquire a small corner parcel of a parent tract owned by Mr. &
Mrs. Charles Orr. Many years ago the Orr's donated property for 4th Street
paving and, at their expense, relocated their garage door to access off
27th Avenue. The State later obtained right-of-way along 27th Avenue and
denied access to 27th Avenue.
The County is now requesting their access to their hcme be relocated from
4th Street to 27th Court and that additional right-of-way on the southeast
corner and along 4th Street be donated.
This request requires that a garage door be located to the rear of the
Orr's garage with access to 27th Court.
The Orr's are not willing to give one foot of additional right-of-way
required along 4th Street which would bring the right-of-way line within
four feet of the side of the garage and cover their well. The proposed
sidewalk could be decreased from 5' to 4' in width as is. the case at the
property immediately west of the Orr's property. This would eliminate the
need for the additional right-of-way along 4th Street.
The Orr's are willing to donate the corner right-of-way if the County will
relocate the garage door, block up and paint the front of the garage,
install two windows, remove the asphalt driveway in front, plant grass and
pave a concrete driveway in rear. The steps and door are in the way for
the rear access and would have to be relocated on the rear of the resi-
dence.
Cost of the construction is approximately $7,000. Donated right-of-way
value is approximately $ 2,000 and additional servance damages value.

Staff requests authorization for the County to hire a contractor to do the
above remodeling as full compensation for the donation of the corner
right-of-way.

Chairman Scurlock felt it would be better to settle on a
dollar,amount and then let the property owner contract for the
services. If we contract and the home owner is unhappy with the
work performed, then we are in the middle of the situation.
Public Works Director Davis advised that they have gotten
figures of $5,590, but that figure does not include the asphalt
driveway work.
Chairman Scurlock continued to emphasize that his thought
would be to assist the property owner in bidding out the work and
then have them contract for the work.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously authorized
staff to advertise for bids for the above described
remodeling; the property owner to contract with the
successful bidder; and the funding for the work to
be from Account #109, Gas Tax Revenue.

Chief, Long -Range Planning
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at t:neir
regular meeting of December 2, 1986.

DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS
The County is initiating a request to rezone approximately 122
acres located north of 16th Street (Rosewood Road), south of the
main relief canal, east of 58th Avenue, and west of 43rd Avenue
from RS -6, Single -Family Residential District (up to 6
units/acre), and A-1, Agricultural District (up to 1 unit/5
acres), to RS -3, Single -Family Residential District (up to 3
units/acre).
On September 2, 1986, the Board of County Commissioners upeld
the Planning and Zoning Commission's denial of a request to
rezone approximately 28 acres of land located adjacent to the
subject property from A-1, to RS -6. The Board did, however,
rezone that property to RS -3 because they felt the RS -3 zoning
was more appropriate for the area based on the RS -3 zoning on the
south side of 16th Street and the low-density nature of the area.
On October 23, 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 contains single-family residences, citrus
groves and undeveloped land zoned RS -6, and a single-family
residence zoned A-1. North of the subject property is a
single-family subdivision on the south side of the Mair. Relief
Canal zoned RS -6. Further north, across the Main Relief Canal,
is a power substation, a restaurant, and a single-family house
zoned CG, General Commercial District, and a ccmmercial
subdivision under development and* three single-family residences
zoned CL, Limited Commercial District. East of the sub;ect
property is a single-family subdivision and vacant land zoned
RS -6. South of the subject property, across 16th Street, is
Kingswood Estates, a single-family subdivision under development,
and single-family residences on large parcels of land zoned RS -3.
West of the subject property is an old citrus grove being
developed for single-family residences which is zoned RS -3.
Future Land Use Pattern
The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and the
land east, west and immediately north of it as LD -2, Low -Density-
Residential 2 (up to 6 units/acre). The land further to the
north, across the Main Relief Canal, is part of the 160 acre
Kings Highway and State Road 60 commercial node. The land south
of the subject property, across 16th Street, is designated as
LD -1, Low -Density Residential 1 (up to 3 units/acre).
The proposed rezoning is consistent with the RS -3 zoning located
west and south of the subject property and is consistent with the
low-density development pattern in this area.

BOOK 66 Fr :y4
Transportation System
The subject property has access to 16th Street (classified as a
secondary collector street on the County's Thoroughfare Plan),
and to 43rd Street (classified as a primary collector street).
This proposed down -zoning would reduce the potential traffic
generated by the subject property from approximately 3,843
average annual daily trips (AADT) under RS -6 zoning to
approximately 1,921 AADT under RS -3 zoning.
Environment
The subject property is not designated as environmentally
sensitive nor is it in a flood -prone area.
Utilities
County water is generally available for this area. County
wastewater service is not currently available.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning,
Commission's recommendation, staff recommends approval.

M M r
Question arose as to the size of the lots, and Chief Planner
Shearer reported that there are 49 parcels of land in the subject
property, 28 of which are less than an acre in size and 21 being -
greater than an acre. Of those lots smaller than an acre, the
largest is 8/10 of an acre; the median size is .57 acre, and the
smallest is .21 acre. Fourteen of the lots which are smaller
than one acre are in Silver Oaks Estates Subdivision and the
other fourteen are metes and bounds. Most of the lots are
developed, and access is gained through the subdivision, not off
Rosewood Road.
Commissioner Bird believed the overall picture is that the
122 acres presently is RS -6 and we are proposing downzoning to
RS -3. He asked in staff's experience with recent developments
zoned RS -3, how many units per acre they have actually been
getting.
Planner Shearer stated that most have been coming in with
1/2 acre lots because they don't have water. If they did have
water, they could come in with a 12,000 sq. ft. lot.
The Chairman felt most have been getting 2.6 and 2.8 unless
they go to a PRD, which would push it closer to 3 upa, and
Planning Director Keating confirmed that there is a PRD applica-
tion now which is looking at just about 3 upa.
The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard.
Attorney Michael O'Haire came before the Board on behalf of
Dr. Charles Rattray and other owners of land along Rosewood
Boulevard, which he felt is truly an estate area and has been
developed that way for decades. The only subdivided area, aside
from Tropicolony which really is not representative of Rosewood
Road, is Silver Oaks, which is a subdivision of large lots.
Attorney O'Haire agreed that RS -3 is a step in the right direc-
tion and believed the property owners were unaware it ever was
RS -6. What they would like at the very worst, however, is RS -1
with a minimum lot size of 16,500 sq. ft., which would not make a
great number of lots non -conforming. Attorney O'Haire urged
D2 19� 21 BOOK 6 PnE 545
C
C.
y�
DEC
2 1986
BOOK 66
u,EL546
that the Board by all means downzone to RS -3
as advertised,
but
then, in order to stem the tide of new site plans, immediately
direct staff to take another look at this area giving considera-
tion to RS -1 as the people who live there are entitled to
protection.
In discussion, it was noted that RS -1 is one unit per acre
and requires a minimum of 40,000 sq. ft. lot size. There is no
category between RS -1 AND RS -3. Attorney O'Haire stated that he
had meant to ask for R-1AA.
Planner Shearer advised that R-1AA was repealed in April of
1985 when we did the residential zoning conversion, but Municipal
Code inadvertently missed this and did not take it out of the
Code supplement.
Chairman Scurlock believed that Attorney O'Haire is asking
that we explore a new ordinance to create a new district.
Director Keating presented the alternative of rezoning to
RS -1 and having non -conforming lots of record which still could
be developed as they would not be illegal.
Chairman Scurlock felt to avoid confusion, an ordinance
should reflect what you actually can do; i.e., if it is 2.5, say
so, and if you can't achieve 6, say 4.6, etc., but Commissioner
Bird believed the problem is that with a PUD you can achieve 6.
Olske Forbes, newest resident of Rosewood Road, asked if
staff isn't supposed to put up some type of signage to alert
adjacent owners of a rezoning, and Planner Shearer explained that
the ordinance requires that we place signs, but does not require
that we maintain them.
Mrs. Forbes did not believe signs were ever placed, and
Planner Shearer stated that he would check on this. Mrs. Forbes
also did not think the general public understands the ramifica-
tions of RS -3 having special exception uses, which means you
could have PRDs, etc.
Commissioner.Eggert pointed out that RS -6 has PRDs also, and
Director Keating noted that a PRD requires two public hearings -
22
one before the Planning 6 Zoning Commission and one before this
Board.
Chairman Scurlock asked if Mrs. Forbes wished the Board to
pursue downzoning to RS -3, and then pursue further reducing the
zoning, and she confirmed that she did because there are two huge
parcels left on the street that could be developed into PRDs, and
there already is one potential PRD.
Dr. Robert Vinson stressed that he has said from the
beginning that we should have one acre lots.on Rosewood Road. He
did not want to see PRDs take over and have them put up security
walls and destroy the natural beauty of this area. He did not
see any difference in RS -6 and RS -3 because with either they will
have increased traffic and increased gated communities, which is
not the nature of Rosewood, and he felt RS -6 actually is better
yecause it at least requires street lights and bike paths.
Margery Young, 1485 50th Court,'noted that the residents are
very proud of their street, but it seems their efforts to keep it
beautiful are being exploited by developers. Mrs. Young believed
there are many homes and condos for sale all over the city and
urged that the Board keep their area on Rosewood Road the way it
is and has been over the years.
George Beuttell, 5480 Rosewood Road, noted that he has lived
at that address for ten years and grew up on Rosewood Road. He
spoke on behalf of his mother who owns the largest piece of
property being affected by the new zoning and informed the Board
that while they are for the downzoning, they do not feel it is
appropriate to downzone theirs to RS -1 if the properties on the
other side of the road remain RS -3. Mr. Beuttell stated that
they have no intentions of developing but they would like to
reserve the right to be able to develop as those property owners _ y
surrounding them have been able to. Conversely, if the Board
were to rezone the Ralmar property and the south side of Rosewood
to R-1, they would be glad to go along with anything of that
Di9�6 23 BOOK 6 PA,E 54n7

nature. They
just do not want to be treated unfairly,
and
he
would oppose just them being rezoned to R-1.
Chairman Scurlock believed that Ralmar is already vested and
have
all
their
site plan
work,
and Director Keating confirmed
that
they
have
submitted
their
PRD.
Chairman Scurlock requested that staff explain the PRD
procedure and the Commission's latitude in terms of certain
conditions that may be placed on a PRD.
Director Keating confirmed that a PRD does allow more
flexibility in development and certain modifications may be
allowed, particularly with regard to minimum lot sizes and
setback areas, but emphasized that a PRD is not an entitlement or
right. The developer must come in and bargain with staff as to
how it can be developed, and this bargaining continues through
the hearing process.
THe Chairman commented that we do not have an ordinance that
calls for architectural review, and Director Keating agreed but
noted that the Board can impose certain conditions under a PRD
and the developer must display exhibits showing how the project
will look.
Chairman Scurlock believed with a PRD the public would have
a better idea of what is to be developed, and also any future
owner of the property would have to adhere to whatever is set out
under the PRD.
Commissioner Bird felt if we do not have a zoning category
requiring something in the area of a minimum 1/2 acre lot, that
we may want to look into creating one. He believed some really
fine developments have been done on the basis of 1/2 acre lots.
Attorney O'Haire brought up the possibility that the pending
PRD may not be granted during the public hearing process, and he
continued to urge that staff be directed to begin immediately the
process for implementing a larger minimum lot size.
Mr. Beuttell. inquired if you can downzone arbitrarily when
somebody is already zoned, and Chairman Scurlock believed
24
Attorney O°Haire is suggesting that Ralmar will- just go away, and
that is not the case; they already have filed suit against an
earlier decision downzoning them from RS -6. He also had the
impression there is a feeling in the audience that if we went to
R-1AA, Ralmar would be included, but that is not the way it
works.
Mr. Beuttell wished to go on record as -being very
disenchanted with Ralmar and the way they have handled this
affair, especially their putting up a chain link fence. Mr.
Beuttell did not feel rezoning to RS -1 and leaving Ralmar intact
would be fair.
It was determined no one else wished to be heard.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously closed the
public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Eggert, the Board unanimously adopted
Ordinance 86-77 rezoning the property as advertised
to RS -3.

Chairman Scurlock asked if the Commission is indicating they
want further downzoning and creation of a new zoning category in
the range of 1/2 acre.
Discussion ensued re various minimum lot sizes, and Commis-
sioner Bird stated that he is looking for a category that would
ensure the largest building lots short of one unit per acre.
Director Keating stated that staff will draft an ordinance
that will be in the 1/2 acre range.
Commissioner Bird noted that we will have to approve that
ordinance and then advertise for rezoning to that category, and
Commissioner Eggert suggested we ask'staff to revisit the
Rosewood area as she believed some want to stay at RS -3 and some
prefer downzoning to 1/2 acre lots. Commissioner Bird felt we
might want to visit the south side of Rosewood Road also.
Chairman Scurlock believed that staff has been given
direction and suggested they pursue this in a rapid manner.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously directed
staff to create an ordinance as discussed.

DESCRIPT=CN & CONDITIONS
Mark J. Wicker, Jr., the owner, is requesting to rezone
approximately .51 acres consisting of two lots located
approximately 200 feet east of U.S. 1 on the north side of 84th
Place =rom RS -6, Single -Family Residential District (up to 6
units/acre), to 1;0-6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to
6 units/s=ere)
The applicant is proposing to develop this site for a triplex.
On Octc!C-er 23, 1986, the Planning -and Zoning Commission voted
5 -to -0 to recommend approval of this request.
s
ALTrBVAi-ETES & ANALYSIS
In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the appli-
cation will be presented. The analysis will include a descrip-
tion of she current and future land uses of the site and sur-
rounding_ areas, potential impacts on the transportation and
utility s; -stems, -and any significant adverse impacts on environ-
mental c-=ality.
Exist -_-c Land Use Pattern
The sub_ect property is vacant except for a small storage
buiid_nc. North of the subject property are single-family
dwel�ir_cs and vacant lots zoned RS -6 and RM -6. South and west of
the subject property are single-family dwellings and vacant lots
zoned -6. Further west, are a veterinarian's office, a bait
and tackle store, and other commercial uses zoned CL, Limited
Co=ercial District. East of the subject property is a citrus
grove ;mac =ed RM -6.
Future -and Use Pattern
The Co�_�=ehensive Plan generally designates the subject property
end all of the land around it as LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2
yup to 6 units/acre). In addition, the Comprehensive Plan
designates a 120 acre Commercial/Industrial node at the
intersezzion of U.S. 1 and Wabasso Road. The exact boundaries of
this :cd -e have not been established. However, it is anticipated
that to commercially -zoned properties located -less than 100 feet
west of the subject property will be included in the node. The
subject _roperty is.included in a narrow strip of land zoned RS -6
which is situated among commercially -zoned property to the west
and scut_ and land zoned for multiple -family use to the north and
east. rased on this zoning configuration, it seems reasonable to
rezone t is single-family property including the subject property
to :u_t=ple-family to eliminate this spot of RS -6 zoning. While
the predominant land use around the subject property is
single-family in nature, there has been little interest in
development of the vacant lots in this area. Multiple -Family
zoning would allow single-family dwellings and would encourage
redevelopment in this area.
Transportation System
The subject property has direct access to 84th Place (classified
as a local street on the Thoroughfare Plan). The maximum -
development of this property based on RM -6 zoning could generate
up to 21 average annual daily trips.
Environment
The subject property is not designated
sensitive nor is it in a flood -prone area.

DISTRICT
It is requested that the data herein ~resented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners- at their
regular meeting of December 2, 1986.
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS
Laurel Builders, Inc., an agent for the owners, is requesting to
rezone approximately 17.8 acres located on the north side of 8th
Street, one-half mile west of 43rd Avenue, and approximately
one-half mile east of Kings Highway from A-1, Agricultural
District (up to 1 unit/5 acres), to RS -3, Single -Family
Residential District (up to 3 units/acre).
The applicant intends to develop this property for a
single-family subdivision.
On October 23, 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 wi7l 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 a non-productive citrus grove. North of
the subject property is a citrus grove zoned A-1. Northeast of
• the subject property is Kanawha Acres, a single-family
subdivision zoned RS -3. East of the subject property is a citrus
grove zoned RS -3 on which an elementary school is proposed; also
east of the subject property is Glendale Lakes, a single-family
subdivision zoned RS -3. South of the subject property are three
single-family dwellings zoned A-1. Further south, across 8th
Street, is undeveloped land and two single-family dwellings zoned
A-1. West of the subject property is a citrus grove and
undeveloped land zoned A-1.
Future Land Use Pattern
The Comprehensive Plan designates the sui-Deet property and all of
the land around it as LD -1, Low -Dense_- Residential 1 (up to 3
units/acre). The proposed RS -3 zoning is in conformance with the
LD -1 land use designation and is cons -'stent with the RS -3 zoning
to the east of the subject property.
32
Transportation Svstem
The subject property has direct access to oth Street (classified
as a secondary collector street on the Thoroughfare Plan). The
maximum development of the subject property under RS -3 zoning
could generate up to 371 average annual dai�v trips (AADT).
Environment
The subject property is not designated as environmentally,
sensitive nor isitin a flood -prone area.
Utilities
A County watermain runs along 8th Street. County wastewater
service is not currently available.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning
Commission's recommendation, staff recommends approval.
The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard.
There were none.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Eggert, the Board unanimously closed the
public hearing.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by
Commissioner Wheeler, to adopt Ordinance 86-79
rezoning the subject property to RS -3 as requested
by Laurel Builders.
Commissioner Wheeler believed this property is near the
school and he felt the whole area out there should be looked at.
Planner Shearer agreed, but noted that staff has been
hesitant to recommend rezoning for agricultural zoned lands
because many have agricultural exemptions and do not have
immediate plans for development.
Commissioner Wheeler asked if it is ag land that is produc-
tive or whether it is just sitting there waiting for the price to
go up so they can sell it and rezone it.
Planner Shearer felt that is hard to determine, and Commis-
sioner Eggert explained that the Comprehensive Plan says there
should be protection of agricultural zoning, and, therefore,
unless it is requested, staff has tended not to move on it as the
rezoning would affect the agricultural exemption.

Commissioner Wheeler asked if under the Comprehensive Plan
you can't ask for such a rezoning unless you are the owner of the
property, and Commissioner Eggert stated it is not that you
` can't, but it just has been policy not to do so. She continued
that she basically was not for the county rezoning things except
under special circumstances where we have an obvious need or some
hardship.
Peter Robinson, president of Laurel Builders, felt if that
area is studied, it will be found that there are some areas that
are obviously not agricultural, and he believed the owners want
them rezoned, but it is hard to get them to move ahead with it.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
It was voted on and carried unanimously.

DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS
L -J
Dan and Joan Preuss, trustees, are requesting to rezone
approximately .46 acres consisting of one lot of Roseland Gardens
Subdivision -from RS -6, Single -Family Residential District (up to
6 units/acre), to RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up
to 6 units/acre).
The applicants intend to develop this lot for a duplex.
On October 23, 1986, the Planning and Zoning Commission. voted
5 -to -O 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 consists of a vacant lot. North and east of
the subject property are duplexes, single-family dwellings, and
vacant lots zoned RM -6. South and west of the subject property
are single-family dwellings and vacant lots zoned RS -6.
Future Land Use Pattern
The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and all of
the land around it as LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6
units/acre).
Roseland Gardens Subdivision is evolving from a predominantly
single-family subdivision to a subdivision containing half
single-family dwellings and half duplexes. During the last three
years, at least six site plans have been submitted to` construct
additional duplexes in. this subdivision. Based on this trend,
staff feels that additional lots should be made available for
duplexes in this subdivision.
Transportation Svstem
The subject property has direct access to Mulberry Street
(classified as a local street on the Thoroughfare Plan). The
.,. maximum development of the subject property under RM -6 zoning
could generate up to 14 average annual daily trips.
Environment
The subject property is not designated as environmentally
sensitive nor is it in a flood -prone area.
Utilities
Neither County water nor wastewater facilities are available for
this subdivision.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning
Commission's recommendation, staff recommends approval.

FRANCHISE MANAGE !!''
SUBJECT: EXPANSION OF FRANCHISE TERRITORY AND CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP FOR
RIVERWALK UTILITIES, INCORPORATED
On February 6, 1985, Riverwalk Utilities, Incorporated, was granted a
water and wastewater system franchise, Resolution 85-17. Since that
time, Riverwalk Associates has operated' Riverwalk Utilities in an
efficient and economical manner.
At this time, Riverwalk Associates has requested that the Board of
County Commissioners consider the following items:
A. Watkins Associated Developers, Inc., has developed the 12.5
acre franchise to its fullest potential. Riverwalk Associates,
Inc., has requested an expansion of approximately 5.32 acres,
south of the existing territory. This expansion will be divided
into five tracts. Tract A, (see attached map) will be dedicated
to the wastewater effluent disposal and the remaining four tracts
will be utilized for restaurants and other commercial use.
Consequently, the expansion of territory demands expansion of the
water and wastewater facilities.
B. Riverwalk Associates, Inc., is currently negotiating to sell
the Riverwalk Utility franchise to the applicant, Sebastian
Associates. The applicant is negotiating the purchase of the
Riverwalk Shopping Center and 100% of the Riverwalk Utilities,
Inc., stock. The applicant certifies that it is acting in good
faith and has means and intent to build, install, and operate the
existing Riverwalk Utilities system and the expanded system
necessitated by the expansion of the franchise territory. The
name of the utility will remain the same.
RECOMMENDATION
Utility Staff's Recommendation For Item A•
Utility staff has reviewed Riverwalk Utilities, Inc., franchise and
requests that the expansion of franchise territory be contingent upon
the posting of a bond by Riverwalk Associates, Inc., to cover all
estimated construction costs necessitated by the expansion of the
franchise territory. It is expressly understood by the applicant that
all construction associated with the plant expansion be completed
within twelve months after the bond is posted. When construction is
completed and prior to the bond being released, the County Utility
Department will issue a permit for operation to Riverwalk Utilities,
Inc. Staff also asks that no Building Permits be issued until all
escrow impact fees for Phase II are paid. All other escrow impact
fees have been satisfied.
Utility Staff's Recommendation For Item B•
Utility staff has reviewed the request of Sebastian Associates for the
change of ownership in the Riverwalk Utilities franchise. Copies of
the applicant's, Mr. James H. Nobil, personal financial statements are
attached hereto. Utility staff has reviewed the financial statements

and has one condition for the approval of this transfer, i.e.,
Riverwalk Associates, Inc., and the County Utility Staff requests that
the transfer of ownership be contingent upon the closing of the sale
of the Riverwalk Shopping Center.
Utility staff stress the fact that County water and wastewater service
will be available to the Riverwalk franchise in the near future.
----Section XVI, Escrow Charges, Item 4., Page 11, of Franchise Resolution
85-17, attached hereto, states, "Should the County at any time provide
a water distribution system and/or wastewater collection system and
furnish water and/or wastewater services to individual customers
within the franchise territory, the sums of money remaining in said
account, (escrow impact fee and renewal and replacement account),
shall become the absolute property of the County and the Utility shall
be absolved from the obligation of payment of further connection
charges to the County and this franchise shall terminate." At such
time, the Utility will receive a 30 day written notice to disband, at
their expense, the water and/or wastewater facilities and connect to
the County system.
Utility staff realizes the length and conditions of each request and
asks the Board of County Commissioners to approve the expansion of the
franchise territory and the change in ownership with these conditions
as outlined above.
Chairman Scurlock inquired why the change of ownership is
being addressed contingent on the sale, and Utilities Director
Pinto explained that the people won't buy the franchise unless
they know it can be transferred.
The Chairman emphasized the fact that when the county
provides service to the area, the franchise will go out of
business.
The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard
either regarding the change of ownership or expansion of the
franchise area. There were none.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously closed the
public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously adopted

SAID RESOLUTIONS WILL BE MADE A PART OF THEcR�CORD WHEN FULLY
COMPLETED AND RECEIVED.
REPORT ON SANDRIDGE GOLF CLUB �.
Intergovernmental Relations Director Thomas advised that he
has certain items where he needs direction from the Board. He
noted that the Board did authorize staff to proceed on the cart
paths and on the bridges. The cart paths went out to bid, and we
will be opening the bids in about a week. He informed the Board
that he authorized staff to put back the metal bridge we have on
hand, which they are renovating, and that will be on a sublateral
canal in front of the clubhouse. Authorization is needed for
staff to proceed to negotiate on the balance of the construction,
which Director Thomas assumed would include the cart storage
building and paving .
Chairman Scurlock asked if the County Attorney has :gotten an
opinion about those bids, and Attorney Vitunac said that he had
not; he has contacted Architect Charles Block but has not yet
actually looked at the documents.
Chairman Scurlock believed Director Thomas is asking for
something we can't do until we get that opinion, and Mr. Thomas
agreed. He further informed the Board that he has talked to
Carter & Associates; the engineering will be ready this week on
the bridges, and he would like authorization to work with Public
Works Director Jim Davis, who is a certified bridge engineer, to
proceed and/or go to bid on the bridges.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commis-
sioner Eggert, the Board unanimously authorized staff to
proceed as discussed by Director Thomas contingent on
Architect Charles Block signing off on the bidding.

Chairman Scurlock noted
that we need to get staff
to look at
funding alternatives for the clubhouse, and he has requested that
the tourist tax be considered as a potential source of revenue,
- but that was not well received by the Tourist Tax Committee.
Commissioner Wheeler felt the problem was that this probably
was not legal.
Director Thomas wished clarification. His understanding was
that last week the Board said staff should proceed with the
bridges, the cart paths, the cart building, and paving the
parking lot, but he needed to know the status on the clubhouse.
Commissioner Bird believed the Chairman is saying that
staff is going to come back with financing alternatives for the
additional $140,000 and hoped this could be done by the next
meeting.
Director Thomas stated that he had no recommendations, and
he felt this should go to the Finance Committee.
Commissioner Eggert stated that she had felt there was a
Motion that this information should be returned to us at the next
meeting, and Director Thomas said he had no alternatives to
present at this time.
Discussion ensued re possible alternatives, including
borrowing from a local bank, and Chairman Scurlock advised that
projections based on the proposed rate structure and on 60,000
rounds a year show there will not be not enough revenue to
support the.golf course on its own merit let alone the clubhouse.
Based on that rate structure and deducting the required operating
expenses, he believed,we will have a $9,000 deficit at the fifth
year; so, there is no ability to fund another $4,000 or $5,000 a
month debt service. The Chairman seriously doubted we can count
on 400 additional rounds of golf a month over the projected
60,000 rounds, and he, therefore, believed the only alternative
is to raise the fees.
Commissioner Wheeler asked how the proposed fees compare to
44
other courses in the community, and Commissioner Bird explained
that the fees the Chairman is referring to were suggested by the
National Golf Foundation two years ago. He also felt the figures
he is quoting were based on figures OMB Director Baird did based
on a straight-line fee projection over five years. The Commis-
sion will establish the fees based on recommendations by staff,
and Commissioner Bird did believe they initially will be somewhat
higher than those projected two years ago.
Commissioner Wheeler asked how many rounds are played on
other golf courses in the county,- and Chairman Scurlock advised
that Sebastian anticipated 51,000 rounds this year. Based on
60,000 rounds at the proposed rate, we still would lose money,
but if the fees were raised $3.00 we could gain $180,000.
Director Thomas commented that when he says he has no
alternatives, if he is instructed by the Board to borrow money,
he can do that very quickly, but he has had no such instruction.
Chairman Scurlock stressed that he has always felt the
course should be self-supporting. It will not be in the first 30
months, and with the proposed rate structure, he did not. believe
it will be in the first five years. He did anticipate some
subsidization which can be paid back at some time.
Director Thomas understood one alternative was to -put up a
temporary clubhouse, and he advised that he has been working on
that. There is an additional premanufactured facility that is
available, but he definitely needs some instruction.
Commissioner Eggert had the impression we were going to hear
about what the cost of moving a temporary facility might be and
also what possible money sources there might be.
Administrator Balczun suggested that we schedule staff re-
commendations re rate structure as well as a temporary or _ -
permanent clubhouse facility for two weeks from today.
Commissioner Bird agreed and noted that, in addition, he
would like to recommendations about how we get the money and how
we pay it back.

DISCUSS VIOLATION OF RURAL SANITATION FRANCHISE
Franchise Manager Lisa Abernethy reviewed the following
memo:
TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMIS 9I NERS DATE: November 24, 1986
-cam
THRU: TERRANCE G. PINTO, CTOR OF UTILITY SERVICES
FROM: LISA M. ABERNETHY, FRANCHISE MANAGER c�
DIVISION OF UTILITY SERVICES (J�
SUBJECT: RURAL SANITATION SERVICE
BACKGROUND AND CONDITIONS
On May 21, 1986, the Board of County Commissioners passed Resolution
No. 86-31 which prohibits sanitation haulers from picking up trash
before 6:00 A.M. or after 9:30 P.M.
Since that time, Rural Sanitation Services has not abided by this
franchise requirement. Early hour collection has continued and
complaints are being filed. Utility staff has written numerous
letters and has contacted Rural Sanitation about this violation.
Utility staff has even contacted the Indian River County's Sheriff's
Department and instructed them to issue warning tickets if the trucks
are present in residential areas before 6:00 A.M.
Utility staff has reprimanded Rural Sanitation Services time and time
again and has warned the company that they were jeopardizing their
franchise by not complying with the franchise regulations.
RECOMMENDATION
Utility Staff requests the Board of County Commissioners to set a
date for a public hearing to determine the course of action to be
taken against Rural Sanitation Services.
Mrs. Abernethy informed the Board that the Sheriff feels it
is unfair to regulate only residential and not commercial pickup,
and she agreed we need to have the commercial pickup adjusted to
6:00 A.M. also because many residential areas, such as those near
Ryanwood Shopping Center, back up to commercial areas. She
further advised that within the last two weeks, Utilities has had
46
L�J
a number of complaints re 4:55 and 5:15 A.M. pickups, and, in
fact, the truck came through her neighborhood at 5:25 A.M.
Chairman Scurlock advised that he also has received four or
five calls a week on this matter, and he felt we must take some
type action - either change the ordinance or enforce it.
Attorney Robert Jackson came before the Board representing
Rural Sanitation. He did feel the corrnnerci,.al/residential should
be reviewed because the ordinance will never work in places such
as Ryanwood where single family is backed up to commercial. He
informed the Board that. Rural Sanitation is being requested by
some residents to pick up earlier in the residential areas
because they want the trash out of there before they get up in
the morning. Attorney Jackson believed it is premature to set a
hearing under the franchise. There are two provisions in the
franchise; due notice is required; and if there is a problem,
they are supposed to rectify it. They, therefore, would like to
have the Board set some kind of a deadline for a solution of the
problem.
Attorney Jackson felt one solution would be to have trucks
that only pick up for commercial and those that only pick up
residential, and the residential trucks cannot leave before 6:00
A.M. He stressed that he did not see any sense in having a
hearing because they are willing to correct the problem.
The Chairman pointed out there is a possibility we could
change the ordinance to include no pickup for commercial before
6:00 A.M.
Commissioner Bird asked if it is necessary for the company
to pick up commercial before 6:00 A.M., and Robert Pryor, owner
of Rural Sanitation, stated that they would run into a big
. traffic problem along U.S.I. if they started it after 6:00 A.M.
Chairman Scurlock did not believe there have been any
complaints about the other sanitation company, and Mr. Pryor
stated that some of the complaints cited are about Harris

Sanitation because his company does not even go
into
those
particular areas.
Attorney Jackson continued to discuss the problem with
" commercial picking up early and then moving right into the
residential areas, but Mrs. Abernethy noted that the point of
coming before the Board is not the commercial issue. The point
is that the Utilities Department has had solid residential areas
complain, and the Utility Department even had the County Attorney
send Rural Sanitation a letter telling them they were
jeopardizing their franchise.
Attorney Jackson stated that he had never seen that letter,
and Attorney Vitunac felt if the company didn't forward the
letter to Attorney Jackson, that is their problem.
Commissioner Eggert inquired if Attorney Vitunac's letter
was sent,by certified mail, and Mrs. Abernethy stated that she
sent a certified letter, but did not know if the Attorney's
letter was certified.
Utilities Director Pinto informed the Board that his
department has talked to Rural Sanitation several times, and he
did not care if we have a public hearing or not, but something
must be done. The commercial pickup is an issue also. Director
Pinto felt 6:00 A.M. should be the earliest time for pickup
anywhere in the county, and if it takes more trucks or more
personnel, that is what they will have to do.
The Board indicated they would have a public hearing to
change the hours as indicated by Utilities staff, and in between
that time, indicated that if Rural Sanitation does not cease to
pick up in violation of the hours set by the ordinance, they will
give serious consideration to invalidating their franchise.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously authorized
staff to draw up an ordinance as discussed.

DISCUSS POSSIBLE TRANSFER FROM TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING
COUNC I L
Chairman Scurlock informed the Board that Commissioner
Bowman brought to his attention a memo from the Regional Planning
Council advising that we have 60 days to react to a proposal to
make their boundaries co -terminus with the Water Management
Districts, which would move us from Treasure Coast Regional
Planning Council into the regional planning council with Marion
and Orange Counties. The Chairman did not see that we have any
similarities with those non -coastal counties and believed we
should remain where we are.
Commissioner Bowman noted that actually we used to be a
member of the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council with
Brevard County, which was a very unsatisfactory arrangement and
we were happy when we changed into the Treasure Coast Regional
Planning Council. This new proposal is a brainchild of the State
Boundaries Committee - they want to follow the boundaries of the
Water Management Districts and want to do this for everything -
the DER, the DOT, etc.
Commissioner Bird believed that a majority of the time we
are included with Martin and St. Lucie counties, i.e-:-, with the
DOT, the judicial system, HRS, the Tri -County Council, etc., and
there is no question in his mind that is where we need to be. He
felt that just sharing the Indian River is enough reason in
itself to stay with the counties that share that resource.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bowman to authorize staff to draw up an
appropriate response indicating our feelings on the
proposal to transfer us out of the Treasure Coast
- Regional Planning Council.

Commissioner Bowman pointed out that although response is
requested within 60 days, the next meeting of the Boundaries.
Committee is next Monday.
Attorney Vitunac felt the Board would be wise to send a
representative to Tallahassee as this is an important issue.
Commissioner Bowman agreed as Tallahassee is where the
decision will be made.
Commissioner Bird suggested that we have staff prepare our
response and deliver that response in person at the December 15th
meeting in Tallahassee, and Commissioner Wheeler suggested that
we incorporate in the response everything in which we are
involved with the counties to the south.
COMMISSIONERS EGGERT AND BOWMAN agreed to reword
their Motion directing staff to prepare our response
as discussed and authorize appropriate staff to
deliver it to the December 15th meeting in Tallahassee.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted
on and carried unanimously.
DISCUSSION RE OPEN CONTAINER LAW
Commissioner Wheeler informed the Board of the following
Motion passed by the Public Safety Committee at their August 1st
meeting:
"ON`MOTION *by Judge Smith, SECONDED by Mr. Scheeren, the.
Committee unanimously agreed to recommend to the Board of County
Commissioners that they adopt an Ordinance establishing a "Brown
Bag Law", to be applicable County -wide, to prevent people from
consuming alcoholic beverages on semi-public parking lots, public
streets or public right-of-ways, and transporting unsealed
alcoholic beverages in automobiles; further, that it be similar
to the Ordinance recently adopted by the City of Vero Beach.
50
Commissioner Wheeler noted that there is no county ordinance
preventing transporting of unsealed alcoholic beverages in
automobiles and no state or county law prohibiting consumption in
semi-public parking lots. The City of Vero Beach and City of
Sebastian have adopted similar ordinances of this type, and Com-
missioner Wheeler felt if the County adopted one, it would give
the law enforcement agencies some teeth to prevent this from
occurring in places such as Mr. Miller's, for instance. He
stated that he would like to pursue this and have staff draw up
an ordinance for the Board to consider.
Commissioner Bowman asked if he meant just public parking
lots as she believed store lots are privately owned.
Attorney Vitunac clarified that it would be privately owned
parking lots the public has access to.
Chairman Scurlock asked if the ordinance would apply to
recreational vehicles, and Commissioner Wheeler believed it would
apply to any vehicle.
The Chairman felt this is just another way to discourage
people from drinking while they are driving, and he asked if
there are any statistics to show that there have been fewer
accidents where such a law has been passed.
Commissioner Wheeler did not have any such statistics, but
felt anything that discourages people from drinking while driving
is beneficial.
Chairman Scurlock asked if this actually can be enforced,
and Commissioner Wheeler felt it can from the standpoint that it
gives the officer probable cause to stop the vehicle.
Commissioner Bird asked how far we would propose to go re
the type of vehicle - any wheeled vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle,
etc., and Commissioner Bowman noted that she would like to see
boats included.
Attorney Vitunac stated that he would bring back a draft of
an ordinance for the Board to review before advertising a public
hearing.
