regular meeting of January 20, 1987.
DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION APPLICATION
FILE NO. 31-128794-4
- Applicant: James N. Grimm
C/O 1835 20th Street
Vero Beach, Florida 32960
Waterway & Location: The project is located along the eastern
bank of the Indian River, Section 16, Township 33 South, Range
40 East, Indian River County, Florida. The upland property
associated with the project is Lot 19, Seagrove West
Subdivision, located in the unincorporated portion of the
County.
Work & Purpose: The applicant proposes to construct a T-shaped
private residential dock with a 4' X 60' access pier and a 4' X
40' terminal platform (total square footage: 4001). The
project extends waterward approximately 55' to where water
depth equals approximately minus five (-5) feet. No sewage
pump -out of fueling facilities are proposed. No dredging or
filling will be performed.
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 Man
Policies for the
ement, Interim Goals
reasure Coast Region
Objectives &
The Hutchinson Island Planning & Management Plan
The Indian River County Code of Laws and Ordinances
Chapter 18-20, Florida Administrative Code
County records indicate that a principal structure does not
presently exist on the subject property. Section 25.1(c)(7),
Appendix A, Zoning, of the Code ..of Laws and Ordinances of
Indian River County requires an administrative permit for docks
constructed prior to_the_co= truction of a principal single-
family dwelling unit. Also, if mangroves are to be altered in
association with the project, a County mangrove alteration
permit is required prior to construction.
8
Section 18-20.004(5) of the Florida Administrative Cade sets -
forth specific standards and criteria for private residential'
single docks constructed within the Indian River Aquatic
Preserve, among which is the following criterion:
The dock -will extend out from the shoreline no further
than to a maximum depth of minus four (-4) feet mean low
water (Sec. 18-20.004(5)(b)(3), F.A%C.).
In that project as proposed is to be located within the Aquatic
Preserve, the referenced criterion must be satisfied if the
dock is to be permitted by the Department of Natural Resources.
The extent to which the submerged bottomlands of the proposed
project area will be impacted has not been determined; the
effect of Indian River development on ecologically valuable
seagrass beds should be considered.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners
authorize staff to forward the following comments regarding
this project to the Florida Department of Environmental Regu-
lation:
1)' The Department of Environmental ,Regulation and other
appropriate agencies should coordinate with the D.N.R.,
in that the project as proposed is located in the Indian
River Aquatic Preserve and therefore subject to
requirements of Chapter. 18-20, Florida Administrative
Code.
2) Construction of the proposed dockage project will not be
permitted by Indian River County until County regulations
regarding dock construction and mangrove alteration --have
been satisfied.
3) The Department of Environmental Regulation and other
a.ppropriatd'agenaies should evaluate the potential impact
of marina projects on ecologically significant submerged
bottomlands such as seagrass beds in the Indian River.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously authorized
staff to forward the above comments to the DER.

dations and give any guarantee of implementing the program.
Commissioner Eggert concurred.
Director Thomas advised that it is just necessary that the

Commissioner Eggert noted thatlshe wanted this item taken

OMB Director Baird advised that he has an updated version of
the total cost which he will put on next week's agenda. This is
all miscellaneous equipment, and the Board authorized staff to ___
start bidding on these items.
Commissioner Eggert asked if we have the whole picture yet
of everything that is needed.
Chairman Scurlock confirmed that we do, but we are short
about $40,000;. therefore, before we start awarding additional
bids, he felt we should determine if we are going to come up with
an additional $40,000, and if not, determine what we are going to
cut out.
Commissioner Eggert asked if the items we are considering
are budgeted items and if we have the. money for them.
OMB Director Baird confirmed that these are essential
budgeted items; we aren't anywhere near the total cost of
equipment yet; and we do have the money for them.
Commissioner Bird felt that some of these items will be
offset by the donations coming in.
Discussion ensued re the amount of donations received so
far, and Director Baird advised that about $3,500 of donations
have been received in addition to the original $10,000 donation.
Chairman Scurlock pointed out that the brochures asking for
donations cost $3,200.
Commissioner Eggert asked it we have a list of equipment
needed even if it hasn't been put out for bid yet,,and this was
confirmed.
Questions continued as to items adding up to $40,000, where
we come up with the shortfall, etc., and Director Baird advised
that the shortfall is based on our anticipated cost to complete
the project, and he will go over this at the next meeting. The
equipment being considered today is already included in antici-
pated costs.
Director Thomas clarified that the matters that will be
discussed are such things as completing the bridges, completing

L. Final Payment to CCL Consultants
The Board reviewed memo from OMB Director Baird and attached
letter from Architect Charles Block:
TO: ffonorable Board of County DATE: January 14, 1987
Commissioners
THROUGH: Tommy ThoinV<� SUBJECT: Final Payment to
Intergovernmental CCL Consultants
Coordinator
FROM: Joseph A. Baird
OMB Director `.
CCL Consultants have completed engineering services on
the golf course maintenance building and clubhouse at a total
cost of $7,251. Final payment of $5,449.60 is due. Tommy
Thomas and Sonny Dean have reviewed the engineering services
and it meets their.approval.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners
authorize the payment of $5,449.60. -
C. -e. block architect, inc.'
Mr. Sonny Dean
Indian River County
Administration Building
1840 25th Street
Vero Beach, Florida 32960
Dear Sonny.
December 9, 1986
Please find bills from CCL Consultants, Inc for civil engineering for maintenance clubhouse and
parking lot. This civil engineering is reimbursable and an extra to my contract. You have a
copy of CCL's contract.with me for this service. This work was authorized first by Michael
Wright and then yourself. None of the CCL bills which have been forwarded to you have been paid
even after approval by himself.
Attached is the old bill and a current bill which are both now due. You can make payments
directly to CCL or to my office. The latest bill has been approved but has been reduced to what is
services received to date. The total outstanding to date on the original contract is $7,251.90 as
revised Please make payment as soon as possible.
I have also enclosed a bill from CCL for extra work on the maintenance and clubhouse site work
after approval. This cost is being disputed at this time. Even though I did not charge for
additional services for county initiated charges, CCL did have additional services in the fact that
the maintenance building was moved 100 feet to the east from approved location by staff, also
after budgets were determined the parking lot was redesigned to eliminate about 50 spaces. Both
changes required additional services byyour professionals. At this time, the extra bill is not
finalized
Thank you.

Director Thomas
informed the Board that CCL Consultants
were
involved both with Golf Architect Ron Garl and Architect Charles
Block. He believed this is the final bill on the maintenance
building, but he has been holding another bill that is related to
Ron Garl's part of it because he thought it was too much. They
have finally sent a revised bill, which he will put on next
week's agenda.
OMB Director Baird clarified that CCL is broken down into
two areas - they did the engineering on the maintenance building
and then they also did work on the golf course itself.
Chairman Scurlock asked if they have a contract directly
with the county or with the architect.
Director Baird stated that for this particular item they do
not have a contract directly with the county and that is why he
brought this to the Board.
Questions ensued regarding who has the contract, who pays
for the work, and also who authorized the work.
General Services Director Dean explained the circumstances
which led up to the previous Administrator authorizing the use of
CCL.
Chairman Scurlock noted that apparently we didn't request
proposals - we just went and used CCL without any authorization
other than the Administrator, and we didn't have an arrangement
similar to what we have in Utilities and Engineering where we
have a continuing contractor selected through a competitive
process and then we can go back to those master agreements and
use them for additional services.
This was confirmed by General Services Director Dean.
Chairman Scurlock next noted that it appears there was a
movement of the building and now there is a request for
-_`--- compensation, and he wished to know if any of the staff gave the
authorization for that move.
Architect Charles Block informed the Board that first of
all, the contract for the maintenance building is in his contract
18
and the county is in contract in that it specifically says the
civil engineering is reimbursable to the architect. The idea and
the negotiation was that County Engineering was going to do this
work, but months went by and with their backlog, there were no
people to do the work; so, he went to Administrator Wright and
said he was stopped dead, and since CCL was already on the golf
course and knew the layout of the drainage, etc., the Adminis-
trator told him to use CCL. Architect Block emphasized that the
county is in contract with CCL through him.
Chairman Scurlock commented that he is just looking at how
CCL became involved without a request for proposals, and he felt
that just putting this under a sub -contract and having it reim-
bursable to the architect is a way of circumventing advertising
and going through the selection process.
Architect Block did not know if that process is right or
wrong, but confirmed that is how it got done.
Chairman Scurlock asked if Architect Block had authorization
in writing to move the building, and Mr. Block noted that the
bill for that move has not been presented to the Board. The bill
being considered at this time is for the original location of the
building. He further noted that the clearing was part of the
original contract, and Guettler cleared a different area; so,
rather than having to eliminate trees from another area, the site
was moved about 1001.
The Chairman continued to try to determine who specifically
authorized moving the building, and Mr. Block stressed that he
did not authorize it; there was a lot of input as to putting the
maintenance building in a different location, and it was a joint
effort by staff.
The Chairman believed the point is that there are too many
leaders involved. There is a formal process that is to be
followed through the chief executive of the County, and any
changes should be authorized in writing. This has not happened on
19

BOOK
a consistent basis, and he knew that some of our staff have had a
difficult time because of it.
Commissioner Bird informed the Board that on that particular
morning, just about everyone on staff they could muster was out
there and looked at where the building was staked out. It turned
out that where the maintenance building was staked out was
considerably east of where the entrance road Road & Bridge was
getting ready to build was going to terminate, and everyone on
site agreed it did not make sense to continue the road a consid-
erable additional distance and pay that additional cost and that
it did make sense to move the building accordingly. Commissioner
Bird stressed that no slab had been poured, and there were only
stakes in the ground.
Commissioner Eggert asked if the location was considerably ,
different because someone made an error or because it was not
site planned adequately.
Mr. Block felt a lot of this occurs when the county takes on
a lot of requirements they are going to satisfy themselves, and
part of it was this road and part the drainage relating to it.
It also related to the area that was cleared. He reiterated that
essentially this was a decision made on the site.
Chairman Scurlock stressed that the decision being made on
the site is not the point. He noted that Mr. Block is a
professional and there are professional ways of doing things and
change orders are usually done in a formal way.
Commissioner Wheeler expressed his interest in seeing the
incoming bills re the cost of this move and determining who was
at error originally.
Mr. Block stated there was no error; staff wanted the
building in a Location other than where it was drawn. Commis-
sioner Eggert believed improper clearing also was a factor.
Question arose as to 50 parking spaces being eliminated, and
Mr. Block explained those parking spaces related to the clubhouse
not the maintenance building. They were eliminated because the
20
county didn't have the money to build all the spaces originally
site planned, and consequently, the engineering had to be done
over.
Commissioner Eggert asked if staff has any reason the final
payment to CCL Consultants should be denied.
OMB Director Baird advised that staff has reviewed this
bill. The work would have to have been done by someone, and
staff is satisfied with the work even though it didn't follow the
usual process. This was confirmed by Director Thomas.
Administrator Balczun believed we are discussing something
that is symptomatic of capital projects. He informed the Board
that in mid October, to avoid having these circumstances arise
again, it was decided to assign responsibility for capital
project construction management to a key staff member who will
function as the owner's authorized representative and authorize
any changes in writing. We will no I'onger make verbal agreements
or representations directly or indirectly as to what we may or
may not want done, and OMB Director Baird has been assigned
direct responsibility for capital project construction
management.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Bird, the Board unanimously authorized
the payment of $5,449.60 to CCL Consultants as
recommended by staff.
M. 911 Center - Permission to Negotiate with General Contractor

SUBJECT: I.R.C. 911 Center
Permission to negotiate with
General Contractor
REFERENCES:
Mr. Charles Block, Architect on the subject project, has submitted an
estimate of construction cost that will cover the interior on the 911
Center. This estimate also defines each line item of cost. Past
experience with this project indicates Mr. Block's estimates have
been within plus or minus 20.
In order not to delay the project, staff recommends authority be
granted to the architect to negotiate with the general contractor for
this work. The finished Change Order will be brought back to the
Board for final approval.
Commissioner Eggert noted that her question once again is
have we seen it all?
Chairman Scurlock stated that he had the same question and
also felt we must identify very quickly who the owner is, and it
is not the Sheriff. It is the one who pays the bill and that is
the County Commission. Also he did not want the architect
negotiating for the county; he wanted the county negotiating for
the county.
Administrator Balczun agreed that on any capital project, we
should negotiate for the county, and we may or may not want to
hire experts to advise us technically during this process.
Mr. Block noted the intention obviously was for the county
to negotiate, but particularly in such a specialized field, he
believed there should be a professional involved in the
negotiation.
�hairman Scurlock just felt the architect should be sure
whom he is working for and that is the county. What he sees
happening is the Sheriff getting involved with his own ideas, and
22
while the Sheriff does need to work closely with the architect on
the project, he wants it understood that the county is the owner.
Architect Block stated that there is a memo on everything he
does with the Sheriff.
Commissioner Eggert inquired if they were after the fact,
and Mr. Block assured her they were not.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bowman, to deny staff's request to grant
the architect authority to negotiate with the general
contractor and to keep the negotiations within the
county.
Administrator Balczun felt we need to introduce some clarity
specifically to the 911 project and advised that within about a
two week period, staff will put together a complete report for
the Board.
Architect Block expressed some confusion. He noted that the
reason for the request was that you can't really know the costs
of the whole project without allowing the architect to put them
together, and he did not believe staff can make an intelligent
decision on this without some professional assistance.
Commissioner Eggert pointed out that this request is in
regard to allowing him to negotiate with the general contractor,
and Mr. Block stated that is not what was requested; he just
wanted to put some some costs together for the county to be able
to make some decisions.
Commissioner Bird felt possibly the memo was misleading, and
Commissioner Bowman believed they should have requested permis-
. sion to consult rather than negotiate.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
It was voted on and carried unanimously.

OMB Director Baird wished
to emphasize that on any
project
before work is to be performed, there should be a change order or
contract awarded by the Board. He also wanted the Board to know
that the figure of $1,250,000, which they have been given for the
911 Center, is correct.
N. I_R_Boulevard South Extension__ Change Order #2
The Board reviewed memo of the Public Works Director and
memo of the Utility Department:
TO: The Honorable Members of the DATE: January 12, 1987 FILE:
Board of County Commissioners
THROUGH:
Charles Balczun,
County Administrator SUBJECT:
Indian River Boulevard South. .
Extension - Change Order # 2
FROM:James W. Davis, P.E. REFERENCES:
Public Works Director
r
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
In order to provide irrigation of the grass median along Indian River
Boulevard South, approximately 1,000 LF of 4" PVC pipe should be installed.
The Contractor proposes to perform this work for $9 per LF.
To improve drainage in the Rockridge Subdivision, excavation of the 16th
Street outfall is requested. The City of vero Beach and Indian River
County Public Works Deparbnents have cooperated in obtaining permits and
clearing for this excavation.
ALTERNATIVE AND ANALYSIS
The Contractor originally proposed to accomplish the above work for an
additional cost of $15,625. This additional work would result in a revised
contract amount of $3,995,265.36. Although the contract date of completion
is not to change due to this work, the Contractor is requesting a 10 -day
time extension due to suspending operations during the Christmas season.
Staff is of the opinion that $9/LF is somewhat high for the 4" PVC pipe.
The Contractor has agreed to reduce the cost to $8/LF, or allow the County
to handle this work in-house. The Contractor, however, will not assume
responsibility for the road work immediately over the pipe.
RECOMMATION AND FUNDING
It is recommended that the attached Change Order # 2 increasing the
contract ;price by $14,625 be approved and that the Chairman be authorized
to execute the Change Order. Further, staff has no objection to the 10 -day
increase in the Time of Completion which will extend the completion date to
Nov. 3, 1987.

Director Davis explained that when the Boulevard was
designed originally, the Utility Department was in the process of
having their master plan for water and sewer facilities prepared.
Now that it is complete, there is some better direction as to
what sleeves we want under the Boulevard to facilitate the water
and sewer lines. In order not to hold up the project, staff
would like authorization to work with the contractor to accom-
plish these changes for the water and sewer sleeves and then
bring back Change Order #3 to cover that. In the meantime,
Change Order #2 needs approval. That $14,000 is related to
roadwork and funded by Road 6 Bridge. The other $18,000 is
actually utility work and funded by water and sewer impact fees.
Chairman Scurlock felt the lineal foot price for the PVC
pipe was high, and Director Davis agreed that even though this
had been reduced somewhat, it still is a bit high, but he did
feel the contractor gave us a good price on the excavation and
outfall channel.
Commissioner Wheeler wished to know if there is any problem
with using gas tax money for irrigation, and Director Davis did
not feel so because part of a roadway project concerns drainage,
grass, etc.; water quality is a requirement of the DER, and we
have to filter the storm water run-off.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously
approved Change Order #2, Indian River Boule-
vard South Extension in the amount of $14,625;
authorized the signature of the Chairman; and
also authorized staff to negotiate with the
contractor re the water and sewer sleeves as
discussed.

The Board reviewed memo of the OMB Director, as follows:
TO: Honorable Board of County DATE: January 20, 1987
Commissioners
THROUGH: Ann Robinson A-?�
Supervisor of Elections
FROM: Josep A. Baird
OMB Director
SUBJECT: Budget Amendment
for Special
Election
At the meeting of January 13, 1987, the Supervisor of
Elections informed the Board of County Commissioners that it
would cost $15,000 to hold a special election on March 10,
1987. In order to be prepared for the election, Mrs Robinson
needs to expend approximately $3,000 for printing cost.
Recommendation
_ __ _ _-I am requesting the Board of County Commissioners
immediately appropriate $3,000 for the Supervisor of
Elections and if the Board decides to hold the special
election, that they authorize and appropriate the remaining
$12,000 at a later date. Funds will be transferred from
general fund contingency.
Commissioner Wheeler wished to know if legally we are pro-
ceeding with this properly and whether there is any problem with
approving the money before we approve the election.
County Attorney Vitunac did not see any legal problem.
Everyone knows there is going to be an election, and we can't
adopt the ordinance any sooner than the 27th because of the
Tourist Tax Law which has nothing to do with the election law.
On motion by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously
approved the proposed budget amendment contingent
upon the election being approved on January 27th.

It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal. .
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their
regular meeting of January 20, 1987. _
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS
Grand Harbor, Inc., the owner, is requesting to rezone 7.6 acres
located on State Road A -1-A approximately 1.5 miles south of
County Road 510 from RS -6, Single -Family Residential District (up
to 6 units/acre), to RM -4, Multiple -Family Residential District
(up to 4 units/acre).
The applicant is proposing to develop this site for a beach club.
On January 8, 1987, 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 and the land south and west of it is
undeveloped. North of the subject property is the Indian Trails
Recreation Area and Sales Office in the Town of Indian River
Shores which is zoned R -2A, Multiple -Family (up to 8 units/acre)
East of the subject property is the Atlantic Ocean.
Future Land Use Pattern
The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and the
land south of it as LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6
units/acre). The existing RS -6 zoning and proposed RM -4 zoning
are both in conformance with the LD -2 land use designation. The
land north and west of the subject property is located in the
Town of Indian River Shores. Indian River Shores has this
property designated as Medium -Density (up to 8 units/acre) on
their Comprehensive Plan and have zoned this area R -2A, a
mult_Dle-family zoning district allowing up to 8 units per acre. -- -
The:roposed RM -4 zoning is consistent with the surrounding
multiple -family zoning in Indian River Shores except that the
RM -4 district only allows half of the density allowed in the
town's R -2A district.
Transportation System
The subject property has access to State Road A -1-A (classified
as an arterial street on the County's Thoroughfare Plan). The
30
maximum development of the subject property could result in the
following average annual daily trips (AADT) based on the
following zoning and development combinations:
RS -6 RM -4
Single -Family Development 315 210
Multiple -Family Development - 120
Beach Club - 300
Environment
The subject property is not environmentally sensitive nor is it
in a flood -prone area.
Utilities
Water and wastewater service will be available through the --City
of Vero Beach which is extending utilities along A -1-A to service
the proposed Marbrissa development located north of the subject
property.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning
Commission's recommendation, staff recommends approval
The Chairman asked if anyone wished to be heard. There were
none.

It is requested that the data presented herein be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their
regular meeting of January 20, 1987. -
DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION
Mr. Richard Schaub, President of Grand Harbor, Inc., has submitted
a request for special exception approval for the Schaub Communi-
ties beach club, a use which requires special exception approval
in the RM -4, Multifamily Residential District (up to 4 units/acre).
Although the project site is currently zoned RS -6, Single Family
Residential District (up to 6 units/acre), the applicant has
initiated a request to rezone the site from RS -6 to RM -4, as the
RS -6 zoning district does not permit beach clubs. The staff has
recommended approval of the rezoning request. The site is located
1i miles south of the intersection of C.R. 510 and A -1-A on the
east side of A -1-A within a County enclave surrounded on three
sides by the -Town of Indian River Shores.
The proposed project contains a 2,564 sq. ft. restaurant, pool,
cabanas, and a dune crossover for beach access. The site will
also utilize a 5 foot high fence along the site's frontage on
A -1-A.
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 Board of County Commis-
sioners then takes final action on the request based on the
recommendation of the Planning and Zoning commission and staff's
recommendation. The County may attach any conditions and safe-
guards necessary to assure compatibility of the use- with the
surrounding area.
On January 8, 1987 the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
3-2 that the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed
use while concurrently approving the site plan with conditions.
At this same meeting the Planning and Zoning Commission also voted
5-0 to approve the rezoning. The. -conditions -of site plan approval
are as follows:
1. That the Board of County Commissioners grant special
exception approval for the proposed use;
2. That the site include retention of native vegetation in 30'
bufferyards contained within both sideyards;
3. That water and sewer service shall be provided by the City of
Vero Beach; and
34
4.
That prior to release of the site plan:
a. the applicant shall dedicate the west ten feet—of the
site as R.O.W. for Highway A -1-A;
b. the subject property be rezoned from RS -6 to RM -4.

3. Proposed Zoning District: RM -4, Multiple Family Residential
District (up to 4 units/acre).
4. Land Use Designation: LD -2, Low Density Residential

6. Off -Street Parking Required: 89 spaces
Provided: 90 spaces
7. Traffic Circulation: The site will be accessed by a divided
driveway utilizing two 12 foot wide one-way drives from
A -1-A. The County Traffic Engineer has approved the proposed
traffic circulation system.
8. Dedications and Improvements: The applicant has agreed to
dedicate the west 10 feet of the site as A -1-A right=of-way
to bring the eastern half of the R.O.W. up to current
standards.
9. Stormwater Management: The proposed stormwater management
plan has been reviewed by the Public Works Department, and a
Type "A" stormwater permit has been issued.
10. Landscape Plan: The proposed landscape plan shows that all
natural vegetation is to be retained wherever no construction
is to occur. The site will utilize the natural vegetation to
create a 3.0 foot wide opaque barrier along the side property
lines as a buffer to sound and light. The retention of
natural vegetation is encouraged whenever possible to reduce
water consumption needs, preserve habitat, and stabilize the
dune.

CONCERN OF TOWN OF INDIAN RIVER SHORES:
County staff routinely contacts adjacent municipalities when a
site plan abuts their respective boundary. Since this project
abuts the Town of Indian River Shores, the staff solicited
comments from Indian River Shores, and the Town manager responded
with the identification of several concerns. The foremost concern
35
�A�
20 1987 BOOK 67 r , e�
�� A", '
�� Boos 61 pk:Jr IM
relates to the potential for increased traffic. The town's
position is that the development of this site as a clubhouse will
create a significant traffic hazard through a dramatic increase in
traffic along the Wabasso Bridge and A -1-A. In addition, the Town
states that the proposed clubhouse conflicts with their growth
management objectives since the Town would not permit a beach club
to be located as a principal use on any property in Indian River
- Shores. A letter from Indian River Shores stating the above'
concerns is attached.
ANALYSIS:
In relation to the impacts of increased traffic on A -1-A and the
Wabasso Bridge, the County Traffic Engineer has estimated that
this project will attract approximately 300 average annual daily
trips. Because the level of service for this portion of A -1-A is
at a level of service "A" which allows for unhindered travel at a
constant speed with very little or no stopping or deceleration,
the expected traffic should not have a substantial impact on the _
thoroughfare system. These same factors are also true for the
Wabasso Bridge.
The staff is concerned with the impact of this project on sur-
rounding properties and is recommending that the setback be
increased from the required 25 feet to 30 feet in order to form a
bufferyard and that the dense native vegetation be retained within
the bufferyard to form a continuous opaque barrier to buffer
adjacent properties from the visual and audible impacts of the
club. In the aforementioned buffer yards, no parking, structures
or other site related improvements would be permitted. This will
ensure an aesthetic appearance as well as a reduction of.potential
impacts from sound and light.
The following are a list of criteria which must be.met prior to
approval of a special exception use request for a beach club:
a. No off-street parking- or loading areas or buildings and
structures shall be located closer than twenty-five (25) feet
to any property line abutting a residential district.
b. All outdoor lighting shall be adequately shielded in order to
prevent reflection onto adjacent properties.
C. Type "C" screening shall be provided on all. perimeter
boundaries [Sec. 25.1(0)(6)].
A special exception use is one which is not normally considered
compatible with certain .zoning districts unless carefully
monitored by number, size, frequency and location. The County may
attach additional conditions which it deems necessary to assure
protection of surrounding properties from any adverse impacts.
Section 25.1 of the zoning Code, Regulations for Specific Land
Uses, details specific criteria to be considered when reviewing a
beach club for approval as a special exception use. All criteria,
including a 30 foot setback and Type "A" screening not normally
called for, have been met. Although the special exception process
allows the Board of County Commissioners to impose any additional
conditions to ensure compatibility of the proposed use with
surrounding property, the staff does not recommend the imposition
of any special conditions in this case, beyond those which have
been accepted by the applicant.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the analysis performed, staff recommends that the Board
of County Commissioners grant special exception approval for the
beach club with the following conditions:
1 --That the site include retention of native vegetation in 30'
bufferyards contained within both sideyards;
2. The subject property be rezoned from RS -6 to -RM -4.
36
Chairman Scurlock inquired on what basis impact fees are
levied for transportation against a project such as this, and
Planning Director Keating stated there is a per square footage________
charge.
Commissioner Eggert asked why staff feels that a decelera-
tion lane is not needed, and Director Keating advised that the
Traffic Engineer stated that the number of trips during peak
hours did not trigger the need for deceleration lanes.
Discussion then ensued as to the difference in county
traffic laws and those of the Town of Indian River Shores in
regard to restricted parking on A -1-A, a two hour parking limit,
jurisdiction and enforcement problems, etc. It was noted that
the county enclave is on both sides of A -1-A, and the right-of-
way actually is state right-of-way.
Commissioner Wheeler raised a question as to how many more
trips would be generated when the property on the other side of
A -1-A was developed as it seems the estimate of 300 average
annual daily trips applies just to the beach club. He also
wished to know how the number of trips generated by a beach club
is determined.
Planner Nearing advised that the number is based on the
different facilities available, i.e., pool, restaurant, etc. He
further advised that in the DOT's opinion it would not be wise to
add any additional markings to this area as they felt it would
cause confusion because of the Indian River Trails project.
Commissioner Wheeler felt that what we are doing by this
special exception is using the definition of private club to make
something a commercial piece of property. Even though it is a
private club by membership, he felt in many instances they still
have an open membership which other people can buy, and he has a
real problem with this.
Chairman Scurlock also expressed concern about special
exception being taken advantage of as a vehicle to obtain a type
of use we normally don't allow.
He did not doubt, however, that
37 BOOK �F u -c 37
JAN 2 C 151"97
BOOK
this will be an upscale facility which will not attract riffraff,
but felt what we also must take into consideration is that this
is on the barrier island and parking is a real problem. He had a
concern that there is not enough parking and asked if we can do
something about this.
Director Keating agreed with the concerns pointed out but
explained that there are two ways a private club can come in -
one, in a development like Sea Oaks as an accessory use to the
development, and this doesn't need special exception approval.
Beach clubs, country clubs, tennis clubs, etc., were put in the
Zoning Ordinance as special exceptions to reflect certain
characteristics. In the sense of a beach club, it is to reflect
the fact that we have a major resource - the ocean - and one of
the county policies is to encourage access to that resource.
Special exception uses do not generally fit in with surrounding
properties but if they are regulated carefully they can. They do
not necessarily have restaurants or other such ancillary uses,
however, and Director Keating believed the Board could limit the
specific uses within the beach club development and also could
require more parking. He encouraged.the Board to put in any
conditions they feel necessary.
The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard.
Attorney George Moss came before the Board representing Mr.
Schaub and Grand Harbor. He informed the Board that they have by
letter addressed each of the concerns of the Town of Indian River
Shores and have agreed to be annexed into the Town and become a
part of their tax base and, therefore, subject to their police
protection. It was his understanding that if these conditions
were met, the Town would back the project. As to the Commis-
sion's concern about commercial facilities, he assured them that
going to be an upscale facility that does meet the thrust
of the Hutchinson Island project in providing access to the ocean
for those who don't Live there. Mr. Moss emphasized that it is a
private club, not a commercial institution, and will be only for
38
people who own property or are guests of the hotel.
In addition,
the very size of the property is a limiting factor in regard to
traffic problems since there will be only 90 parking spaces.
Commissioner Eggert stated that she has a terrible problem
with parking at John's Island Beach Club and knew how many cars
park along A -1-A. She, therefore, was very concerned about
parking, especially during the season.
Discussion continued at length about parking and the feeling
that 90 parking spaces are inadequate, and Attorney Moss noted
there are 30-35 swimming pools included in the Grand Harbor
project and the overall project must be taken into consideration.
Commissioner Eggert pointed out that Bay Tree and The Shores
are in this also, and Chairman Scurlock believed people come to
Florida to go to the beach. He felt more parking would solve a
lot of problems and would like to find some way to expand the 90
parking spaces by some means, for instance, elevated parking.
Commissioner Bird asked about the possibility of more park-
ing across A -1-A, and Mr. Schaub emphasized that this is not a
big club; it will be limited by the access, and it is a
reservation type facility.
Commissioner Eggert continued to express her concern about
parking, citing the problems at John's Island Beach Club, and
some discussion ensued re other public beach accesses in this
area.
Darrell McQueen, engineer for several projects on the north
end of the barrier island, advised that the Marbrissa project has
asked the county to let them use half of their traffic impact
fees to three lane A -1-A from Bay Tree down to the south limits
of Indian River Trails, and the City voted in support of asking
the County to do so. He further advised that Marbrissa is con-
structing a bike path on the west side of A -1-A down to Winter
Beach Road. Mr. McQueen felt that the roadwork Marbrissa is
proposing, coupled with that proposed by other developments in
the area, well addresses some of the Board's concerns.

Commissioner Bowman brought up Provision b. "All outdoor
lighting shall be adequately shielded in order to prevent
reflection onto adjacent properties." She advised that she would
like to add to this "or onto the turtle nesting areas." After
they were annexed, they would have to comply anyway.
Attorney Moss had no objection to that provision or to
complying with the Town's ordinance.
Joe Dorsky, City Manager of Indian River Shores, advised
that if this property were now part of Indian River Shores, the
Town probably would not allow the club to be built for the use of
another city; however, the Town recognizes that the property is
not in Indian River Shores and wishes to express its concerns for
the Board to consider. He believed the Town's concerns are the
same as those expressed by the Board, i.e., the parking problem,
the possible overflow onto A -1-A, the jurisdictional problem with
enforcement if the property were to remain in the county. Mr.
Dorsky confirmed that Grand Harbor has agreed to be annexed and
this would remove the jurisdictional problem. He disagreed with
the County's planners who indicated an average traffic flow of
300 trips daily and advised their traffic engineer felt the peak
could be 3 to 5 times that. Mr. Dorsky reported that they do
have provisions in place to three lane A -1-A and provide decel-
eration lanes from the north boundary of the Town (Bay Tree) down
to Indian Trails, and he felt it would help solve turning and
intersection problems if the three-laning were extended
Chairman Scurlock commented that apparently their agreement
to annex isn't something under consideration by this Board, and
Attorney Vitunac confirmed the Board must deal with this under
the assumption that the property will remain in the county
forever.
Attorney Moss advised that they will be glad to set aside
three acres across the street for parking if the Board and the
Town so desire.
40
Mr. Dorsky stressed that the Town does not want more parking
across the way as they felt it would create a terrible problem.
Attorney Moss noted that possibly just the employees could
park over there, and in regard to the turn lane, he believed
there is sufficient pavement for it and that it is just a
question of striping.
Mrs. Adelaide Cartwright of John's Island was concerned
about traffic and parking as she believed there are to be 3,000
units across the river at Grand Harbor. She also was concerned
about absentee ownership; the John's Island Beach Club was turned
over to equity owners, and she has always felt that absentee
owners do not do good things for property. Mrs. Cartwright
further pointed out that although Grand Harbor is just now
applying for the variance for the beach club, their advertising
says there will be a private beach club and that they already
have achieved 20 million in sales. Mrs..Cartwright hoped the
Commissioners will consider how well A -1-A looks in this area now
and how well it is working and will try to preserve its
character.
Fred Mensing, interested citizen, emphasized that since the
property is an enclave, the Commissioners should consider the
action that Indian River Shores would take if it were in their
jurisdiction and make the property fit into their jigsaw puzzle.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously closed the
public hearing.
Commissioner Eggert stated that she had some distinct prob-
lems with the parking and the three laning, and she would like to
table further discussion of this matter at least a week for them
to come back with some plans for increased parking, three laning,
possibly bike paths, and turtle lighting.

Commissioner Bird expressed confusion re the parking situa-
tion. The Town obviously does not want cars parking on A -1-A,
but if we increase the parking, we increase the intensity of use
as more parking spaces attract more people, and he felt that also
was a definite concern of the Town.
Commissioner Eggert stated she would like to see the parking
increased to around 125 or 130 parking spaces, and all on the
same side of A -1-A, except possibly for employee parking.
Chairman Scurlock concurred that 90 spaces is inadequate.
Commissioner Wheeler continued to express objection to a
commercial use being brought in under special exception, and
pointed out that the Town does not allow that type of set up in
their limits.
The Chairman inquired if Commissioner Eggert wished to make
a Motion to table.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert to table
decision on the special exception requested by Schaub
Communities for one week and have them come back with
plans for increased parking, three laning, bicycle
paths and turtle lighting.
Commissioner Wheeler suggested adding that there not be a
commercial use, just beach access and parking, but Commissioner
Eggert did not believe it would be a club without at least a
snack bar of some kind and felt it would be a bit punitive to
deny them that ability.
Commissioner Wheeler asked if it will be a snack bar or a
restaurant, and Chairman Scurlock did not see any objection to
It is an ancillary service to the people using the
facility, and he would rather see people served than littering
the beach.
42
Commissioner Eggert noted she would be infinitely more
opposed to this request if she could get one member of the Town
Council to tell her they voted against it, but they did not.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION, It was
voted on and carried 4 to 1 with Commissioner
Bird voting in opposition.
Attorney Vitunac advised there should be a time certain set
for this item on next week's agenda, and 9:05 A.M. was agreed
upon.
DISCUSSION FOR ORDINANCE CHANGE RE LAND CLEARING, LITTERING, ETC.
Fred Mensing came before the Board to discuss the following
letter written him by Art Challacombe, Chief of Environmental
Planning,in answer to his request for ordinance changes due to
the change in the law about burn permits and also his offer to
develop a 20 acre site with an air curtain incinerator franchise:

Thank you for your letter dated December 23, 1986, regarding
proposed changes to the landclearing, littering and public
dumps ordinance. Presently, no disposal of garbage, trash
rubbish or solid waste, including landclearing debris, is
permitted except through franchise collectors or at facilities
provided by the County (Sec. 13-10). In the case of disposal

of landclearing debris following any clearing operation of a
site, County staff has taken the position that the debris is to
be hauled to the County landfill or burned on-site after
receiving a permit from the Division of Forestry. Addi-
tionally, staff has allowed for a sixty day grace period so
that the vegetative material can dry and burn more readily
where burning is the selected disposal method. . -
Planning Staff is opposed to allowing the removal of
landclearing debris through on site burying or composting due
to the prolonged `breakdown period of non -herbaceous material
which serve as breeding places for vermin or create unstable
building sites. In your letter you suggest certain changes to
the ordinance that you feel will eliminate staff's concerns,
however, I do not believe that the suggested changes are
enforceable given the present County staff and feel that on
site burying will have long term negative effects on future
building sites in developing areas.
I am presuming that your request is based upon the changes and
greater restrictions to the Division of Forestry's open burning
rule. I agree with you that the new rule will create diffi-
culties in disposing of landclearing debris in the North County
and that the air curtain incinerator concept is a disposal
` approach which could be useful in that area.
If you wish to pursue these matters further, I suggest that you
present your thoughts to the Board of County Commissioners at
their next available meeting so that County staff may be
authorized to do additional study and prepare a formal recom-
mendation to your request.
- If --you have any questions or if I*may be of further assistance,
please contact me at 567-8000.
Sincerely,
r
Art Challacombe
,Chief Environmental Planning
Mr. Mensing stated that it costs a contractor $100 a load to
come to the south county to dispose of land clearing trash, such
as pepper trees, etc., and he, therefore, would like the County
to loosen their standards for burial of such materials on site.
He explained that he is talking about larger sites, i.e five
acres or more.
Chairman Scurlock expressed his opposition to Mr. Mensing's
first proposal re burying on site as he did not believe there is
a mechanism for keeping this under control and felt it could
create more of a problem later for building sites. As to the
concept of the development of an air curtain incinerator site for
the North County, he suggested that Mr. Mensing present his pro-
posal to the Utilities Department for analysis and recommendation
to the Board.
44
Commissioner Bowman concurred with the Chairman's position
on both proposals as did Commissioner Eggert.
Chairman Scurlock instructed Mr. Mensing to prepare his
proposal and present it to the Utilities Department.
Utilities Director Pinto agreed the request should be
brought to his department and considered under our county solid
waste master plan.

The Board of County Commissioners previously
purchase of the (8.5x282') 2,397 square foot right of
the Armfield appraised value of $2.792 square foot
(Includes grass and asphalt cost of improvements)
approved the -
way parcel at
or $6,692.00.
The property owners indicated a value of $5.00 square foot or
$11,985.00 which he agreed to settle for, but the Board rejected this
amount. -
The property owner has now counter -offered $3.89 per square foot
or a settlement of $9,324.00 as FULL Compensation and with a waiver of
all attorney's fees in lieu of condemnation.
RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING
Staff requests authorization to purchase the above parcel #135 at

MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bowman, to authorize staff to purchase
parcel #135 (Forum) at the counter-offer of $9,324
in lieu of condemnation.
Chairman Scurlock noted that this is kind of after -the -fact.
inasmuch as the Commission authorized going to condemnation and
this is a counter offer.
Commissioner Wheeler asked whether we paid to have this
property appraised in the past, and Mr. Finney confirmed that we
paid Armfield & Associates for an appraisal.
Commissioner Wheeler stated that if they negotiate before we
spend money to appraise, he is for it, but he felt we may be
better off just to condemn and go to court as it may be cheaper
in the long run rather than continuing to negotiate.
Chairman Scurlock noted that until they get an appraisal,
they generally don't want to negotiate, and if we go to condemna-
tion, we are not only responsible for the award, but also for all
the litigation of the other side, which can be dragged out
considerably.
Attorney Vitunac advised that he is meeting February 5th
with a group interested in finding out how we can change this law
as it has been recognized there is a need.
Commissioner Wheeler stated that based on this advice, he
would concur with the purchase.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
It was voted on and carried unanimously.
REVISED DESIGN WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM - 12TH ST. &_7TH

Utilities Director Pinto reviewed staff memo, as follows:

TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DATE: JANUARY 12, 1987
THRU: CHARLES P. BALCZUN
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR
VIA: TERRANCE G. PINTO r'r
DIRECTOR OF UTILI S RV`10ES
FROM: JEFFREY A. BOONE
ENGINEERING OPERATIONS MANAGER
SUBJECT: GRAVITY WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM FROM 12TH STREET TO
11TH STREET ON 7TH COURT AND FROM 7TH COURT TO 6TH AVENUE
ON 11TH STREET. PROJECT #US86-17-CS
On May 14, 1986, the Board of County Commissioners approved the design
of a regional lift station amounting to $5,400.00 and corresponding
construction costs equaling $60,600.00 for a total project cost of
$66,000.00. At the same time, a Developers Agreement in the amount of
$13,500.00 with Vatland Oldsmobile was approved, which included the
payment to the County of $5,000.00 in impact fees and $8,500.00 as
contribution in aid of construction.
Since that time, Masteller and Moler Associates, Inc., our consultants
on the project, recommended that a gravity collection system could be
constructed for approximately the same cost of a lift station and
force main.
The Division of Utility Services then proceeded on that basis and on
November 24, 1986 bids for the subject gravity collection system were
received.
Following is an outline of the bids:
1. Collee Mechanical, Inc. $60,573.00
2. JoBear Inc. $77,100.25
ANALYSIS•13. Coastline Utilities, Inc. $77,720.72
The original budget estimate for construction costs, as prepared by
Masteller and Moler Associates, Inc., was $60,000.00 for the regional
lift station and force main. The budget estimate for construction
costs for the revised design of the gravity wastewater collection
system was $67,000.00.
The revised design, calling for the construction of a gravity
wastewater collection system, will enable surrounding properties to
-connect to the County's wastewater system and thereby afford Vatland-
Oldsmobile a reduction of $1,288.00 in the contribution in aid of
construction, as outlined in the original Developers Agreement dated
May 14, 1986. Similar contributions in aid of construction will be
required of the surrounding commercial properties when they connect to
the system.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Division of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County
-- Commissioners approve the revised design consisting of the gravity
wastewater collection system and, by executing the accompanying
contract documents, approve award of the bid to Collee Mechanical,
Inc. in the amount of $60,573.00 for the subject construction.
Furthermore, the Division of Utility Services recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners approve the reduction of $1,288.00 in
contribution in aid of construction from $8,500.00 to $7,212.00 as
outlined in the Developers Agreement with Vatland Oldsmobile dated May
14, 1986.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, unanimously approved the revised
design as described above; approved award of the bid
to Collee Mechanical, Inc., in the amount of $60,573;

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS - INSURANCE 8 RISK MANAGEMENT CONSULTING
SERVICES
The Board reviewed recommendation of the Administrator:
TO: The Honorable Members of DATE: January 15, 1987 FILE:
the Board of County Commissioners
SUBJECT: INSURANCE AND RISK
MANAGEMENT CONSULTING
SERVICES _
FROM: Charles P. Balczun - REFERENCES:
County Administrator _
Attached for your review is a draft copy of a REQUEST FOR
PROPOSALS (RFP) - INSURANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSULTING SERVICES.
After reviewing Indian River County's program of insurance
as well as costs incidental thereto, I find that it .-would be in
the County's best interest to seek professional insurance assis-
tance via RFP.
It is our intent to insure that the County maintain an appro-
priate program of insurance at lowest cost.
We "are currently unable to target a cost level for this ser-
vice with great precision. However, our 'best guess' is a range
of $12,000 to $18,000.'
We are hopeful that as a result of this study, we will be
able to reduce both our insurance costs and exposures as well.
This matter is scheduled for consideration at your meeting
on January 20, 1987.
I recommend that you authorize:
.: Publication of a Notice for Proposals and subsequent
contract award authority.
.: Transfer of requisite funds
Please call me if you have any questions.
48
The Chairman stated that he fully supports the Administrator
in this request.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Wheeler, to authorize publication of a
Notice for Proposals and subsequent contract award
authority and transfer of the requisite funds as
recommended by Administrator Balczun.
Commissioner Bird inquire where the money will come from,
and Administrator Balczun advised that at this point it is felt
it is appropriate to use projected unencumbered balances in our
o.
insurance account to underwrile the cost of the project. If the
proposals should come in higher than what is left in the account,
it will be necessary to come back to the Board and ask for a
transfer out of contingency, but Et is projected that the
ultimate savings would be fairly substantial.
Chairman Scurlock understood through the Personnel Depart-
ment, which previously handled this, that there is an indication
that some monies have been overpaid into the retirement account
of the South County Fire District, and he would like a report
back on that.
Administrator Balczun stated that it appears there was some
confusion about what program these people were supposed to be in,
and OMB Director Baird will research this.
The Chairman asked if progress has been made in finding a
new Personnel Director, and Administrator Balczun advised that we
are publishing for applicants for this position in several
professional journals and expect some resumes by the first of
February. They are looking for a qualified, degreed professional
human resource manager.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
It was voted on and carried unanimously.

APPROVE CONTRACT
RE SANDRIDGE GOLF COURSE CONCRETE CART
PATHS
Director Thomas believed this contract was previously
approved, but did not believe the Chairman was authorized to sign
the contract once it was executed by the contractor.
Commissioner Eggert was under the impression that the
recommendation had included authorization for the Chairman to
sign, and the recommendation was moved.
Liz Forlani, Administrative Assistant to the Board, advised
that the recommendation did not include the signature of the
Chairman, and Commissioner Eggert stated that her motion for a
recommendation approving a contract would automatically include
authorizing the Chairman's signature unless there was some
special condition.
Attorney Vitunac advised that this particular contract
hadn't been written at that time.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bowman, to authorize the Chairman to
execute the agreement with Damon Construction Corp.
for concrete cart paths for the Sandridge Golf Course.
i
Commissioner Bird pointed out that the contract states the
project was an $120,000 project; however, in the bid it was
stated that the owner may add or delete cart paths and it shall
not affect the price per foot. This provision does not seem to
be in the contract, and since we may want to delete some cart
paths, he felt this should be made clear.
Attorney Vitunac assured him that the bid specifications
will be made part of the contract.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
It was voted on and carried unanimously.

Chairman
Chairman Scurlock noted the Resolution is not self-
executing; there are appointments that need to be made.
Commissioner Eggert did not see why we have to have specific
names except for the County Commissioner, and Commissioner
Wheeler is already named. She felt when we have specific groups,
such as the Bar Association, for instance, we could just ask for
their authorized representative as they may not always want to
send the same person.
Attorney Vitunac agreed that could be done, but noted that
we need to pick out someone for #5 and #6.
The Chairman stated that he wished to have Commissioner
Wheeler as chairman of that committee make those appointments,
and Commissioner Eggert continued to stress that she would like
the appointments to be flexible.
52
Discussion ensued in regard to Commissioner Wheeler being
in charge of making appointments #5 and #6 and notifying the
other groups to send their representatives. V_
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously agreed that
Commissioner Wheeler as chairman would be responsible
for determing appointments #5 and #6 and notifying
the groups listed to send their representatives to the
meetings.

Commissioner Wheeler asked when these contracts come up with
the state, and Attorney Wilson advised they will be up in July -
one contract is for the same person contracted with before, and
one is with a new person because someone left and was replaced.
Chairman Scurlock inquired why you would give someone who
just came on board a raise, and Attorney Wilson explained that
the state gave raises across the board in January.

DISCUSSION RE 17TH STREET PROPERTY ANNEXATION
Mrs. Ruth Chapman, 1450 5th Avenue, Rockridge Subdivision,
came before the Board to express concern about the possible
annexation of property on 17th Street into the City of Vero
Beach, an ordinance in regard to which is on the City Council's
agenda tonight. She noted that the land in question is on 17th
Street and abuts Indian River Boulevard. It has a number of
owners, and these owners have been approached by developers re
putting in an esplanade and shopping center. The residents of
Rockridge are concerned about the problems that would cause and
are concerned that their residential area is being swallowed up
by the City. Mrs. Chapman was also concerned that if the
developers do acquire the homes on 5th Ave. between 17th and
18th, they may have their egress onto 5th Avenue and disturb the
residential area. She emphasized that the traffic over the 17th
St. Bridge is horrendous already, and'when Indian River Boulevard
is extended south from the bridge, it will be really terrible,
especially as there is a 45 mph speed limit. 4
Mrs. Chapman requested that County Commission ask the City
not to annex that piece of property as the residents would prefer
the area to stay low key. They would not oppose having a project
such as the library there but do not want noise from a market-
place, especially as they do not see a need for more stores.
She noted wherever the City has acquired land in their area, it
has given them drainage and ecology problems, but many residents
have become apathetic and feel "you can't fight City Hall."
Chairman Scurlock commented that his concern is that it
seems the City is making plans and considering site plans and
rezonings when the property is not even in their jurisdiction.
He felt there is a definite need for coordination re land use of
the boundaries between the City and County and that there should
be cooperation between these entities before annexation takes
place. He noted that he is not necessarily in opposition to
55
JAN 20 1987 BOOK �� �� r `J5
r--JAN 20 1987
jt f-J
their plans, but just feels whatever is put there, great
attention must be given to the surrounding property.
Commissioner Eggert suggested that we have a joint meeting
with the City re a list of items.
Commissioner Bowman asked if the City has a Technical Review
Committee similar to the County's, and if so, asked why there
couldn't be a joint one to consider matters that are of common
interest.
Attorney Vitunac advised that the City does have a similar
committee, and the staff of the two entities do exchange infor-
mation. He noted that the County has the option of considering
the plan itself and sending over its comments.
Chairman Scurlock asked about the County's ability to oppose
an annexation, and Attorney Vitunac stated that the only grounds
would be if the property were not contiguous or the property
owners not amenable to the annexation.
Nancy Offutt came before the Board speaking as an individ-
ual. She informed the Board that her husband is trustee and
owner of a good bit of the property in question, and they have
tried to talk to the Rockridge residents re their intent to
provide a quality project. Mrs. Offutt advised that the City is
doing an annexation study to consider whether it can serve this
property with utilities, is.conducting traffic counts, etc. The
annexation and zoning will be separate issues, but they will be
almost concurrent. Mrs. Offutt explained that the sequence of
events is being followed as it is because of the need to plan
ahead. If the County has concerns, or the residents, she felt
they should attend the public hearings, present their concerns,
and argue either for or against the annexation. Mrs. Offutt
further advised that the Chairman.of the Library Board has
received a letter from the developers stating that they would be
happy to have the library as a compatible facility.
Fred Mensing, interested citizen, felt the Board needs to
present to the Legislative Delegation the need to require that
56
zoning on county boundaries be in the constructive steps of
zoning rather than allowing annexations for the purpose of
getting a zoning that is not compatible, which practice has,9one
on for years.
Chairman Scurlock noted that the Florida League of Cities
has a very good lobby and he believed they have continued to
erode the rights of the counties.
Discussion continued regarding the problems connected with
annexations and the zoning not being in compliance with our Com-
prehensive Land Use Plan, and Commissioner Bowman noted that this
has happened time and again in the North County.
Commissioner Bird did not believe we have enough facts and
information about what is proposed and what our Comprehensive
Plan shows re utility service, etc., to send a message to the
City Council tonight opposing the annexation. He noted that he
personally has a strong feeling for the rights of property
owners.
Chairman Scurlock concurred that we do not have sufficient
information to oppose the project, but stated he would like to
send a message that we want to coordinate to protect the adjacent
area. He felt we owe it to our county areas to have some input.
Mrs. Chapman continued to discuss the area's problems with
sewer and drainage, etc. She felt much of this relates back to
annexation and stated that everything the City has done has hurt
Rockridge.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously authorized
the Chairman to send a message to the City of Vero
Beach expressing our concerns as discussed and re-
questing a City -County meeting be set up to
discuss matters of joint concern.

TRANSPORTATION PLANNING COMMITTEE
JANUARY 14, 1987
SUMMARY OF ACTIONS
1. FDOT FUNCTIONAL RECLASSIFICATION
Suncom Telephone: 424-1011
Committee discussed a proposal with FDOT representatives to
transfer two roadways.due to an evaluation of their
functional classification.
State Road 607 (27th Avenue) is proposed to be transferred
from the State roadway system to the County system.
The portion of 20th Place between US#1 and 6th Avenue, and
the portion of 6th Avenue between 20th Place and 21st Street
are proposed to be transferred from the municipal system
(Vero Beach) to the State road system as part of State
Road 60.
A public hearing date is recommended for March 4,`1987 at
7:00 P.M. in the Commission Chambers, with an alternate date
of March 11.
2. STREET LIGHT REQUESTS (4th QUARTER 1986)
Committee denied three requests for street lights to be
installed with County funds.
58
Commissioner Bowman informed the Board that four other
matters were discussed at the committee meeting, as follows:
1.) Expediting repair of the Merrill Barber Bridge.
Z.) Programming the Twin Pairs project.
3.) Trying to get the North Indian River Boulevard extension
designated as a U.S.I by-pass.
4.) Filing a jurisdiction report in order to get Oslo Road access
to I-95.
Commissioner Bowman believed the next step on the roadway
reclassifications is a public hearing, and the Board needs to
approve the date of the hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bowman, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved
a public hearing date of March 4, 1987 at 7:00 P.M.
in the Commission Chambers, with an alternate date
of March 11th, as recommended by the FDOT.
Commissioner Bird inquired about the statement that the
Committee denied three requests for street lights, and
Commissioner Bowman explained that these street lights were in
the middle of blocks and did not meet the requirements.
Commissioner Bird believed when the Committee denies such
requests the applicants should be advised that there is an appeal
process to the Board.
Public Works Director Davis confirmed that the applicants
are given that information.
There being no further business, on Motion duly made,
seconded and carried, the Board adjourned at 11:30 o'clock A.M.
