Resolution Authorizing Application for Historic Preservation Planning Assistance Grant The Board reviewed the following memo dated 11/12/87: TO: The Honorable Members DATE: November 12, 1987 FILE: of the Board of County Commissioners DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: HISTORIC PRESERVATION PLANNING ASSISTANCE SUBJECT: GRANT APPLICATION Robert M. Keat ng, CP Director, Pla ning & Development THRU: Gary M. Schindler e*101W Chief, Long -Range Planning FROM: David C. NearingAeo REFERENCES: Staff Planner, Long -Range Planning It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of December 1, 1987. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The Florida Department of State, on behalf of the Federal Department of Interior, is soliciting applications for Federal grants-in-aid for historic preservation projects. This is the same type of program for which the County unsuccessfully submitted an application last October for state funds. As with last October's program, the Bureau of Historic Preservation is encouraging applications which propose to develop preservation elements (or preservation components of coastal management, future land use, and housing elements) of Local Government. Comprehensive Plans. The Bureau is also giving priority to projects which cover relatively large,• poorly surveyed geographic areas, such as Indian River County. The October submittal was ranked number 22 by the selection committee; however, only the first 21 were funded. The State Bureau staff has encouraged the County _to resubmit for the Federal program. As a result of the recent planning legislation enacted by the State, Indian River County must incorporate historic and archaeological concerns in its required comprehensive plan. Chapter 9J-5 of the Florida Administrative Code, entitled "Minimum Criteria for Review of Local Government Comprehensive Plans and Determination of Compliance," requires that the County address identification, designation, and protection of historically significant properties in various elements of the Comprehensive Plan. The funds available from the subject grant program would enable the County to undertake required historic preservation activities. As such, these funds would complement grant funds being provided to the County from the Department of Community Affairs for comprehensive planning activities. . 3 KOK 70 PAGE 195 DEC 1 DE C 11997 ANALYSIS & ALTERNATIVES Indian River County has never had a survey conducted, and only four sites have been recorded on the Florida Master BOOK 70 Face 196 formal historic sites in Indian River County Site File. In order to meet the requirements as outlined in Chapter 9J-5, the Minimum Criteria Rule for Local Government Comprehensive Plans, it will be necessary to conduct a cursory site survey of the County in order to estimate the number of historical and archaeological sites the County may have, and it will 'be necessary to record the most readily identifiable sites on the Florida Master Site File. Analysis of the identified sites may also be utilized by the Planning Department to develop goals, objectives, and strategies addressing historic preservation in the County's Comprehensive Plan. Since the referenced grant program is competitive, there is no assurance that the County will receive the required funds. The staff, however, has developed a project consistent with the grant program's primary objectives and consistent with the County's planning requirements. As proposed, the project will focus on developing preservation components within elements of the Comprehensive Plan. .This will involve_ an area survey of the County and development of historic preservation policies as part of several plan elements. To further complement this undertaking, staff will compile a document of the study results which will provide insight to the County's past. The subject grant requires 50% matching funds which may be provided in the form of in-kind services. To minimize direct expenditure of County funds, the staff has structured the grant application_ in such a manner as to provide all the match through in-kind services. Grant funds would then be used to retain a consultant to do the technical survey activities. In addition to using planning staff time for calculating the in-kind match,. volunteer services have also been programmed as part of the in-kind match. The Indian River County and Sebastian Historical Societies have offered their services in conducting the proposed historic sites survey and assisting in recording these resources on the Florida Master Site File. In the future, staff will request that the Board authorize an additional submission of another grant application to the State Bureau of Historic Preservation. This third application, due in January, 1988, will be a back-up application, which is permissable under the guidelines established for applications for grants-in-aid. Such an alternative provides another historic preservation funding opportunity if this second attempt is unsucessful. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the submission of the appli- cation for a $30,000 federal grant-in-aid for the proposed historic preservation project. Staff also recommends that the 50% match ($15,562) be in the form of in-kind services of the Planning and Development Division and the Indian River County Historical Society, and that the designated project supervisor be the Director of the Community -Development Department. 3a ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously adopted Resolution 87-140, authorizing the submittal of an application for federal grant-in-aid for an historic preservation planning project, designating the Director of the Community Development Department as the Project Supervisor, and confirming that the required matching funds shall be in the form of in-kind services. RESOLUTION NO. 87-140 A RESOLUTION OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA AUTHORIZING THE SUBMITTAL OF AN APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL GRANT-IN-AID FOR AN HISTORIC PRESERVATION PLANNING PROJECT, DESIGNATING THE DIRECTOR OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AS THE PROJECT SUPERVISOR, AND CONFIRMING THAT THE REQUIRED MATCHING FUNDS SHALL BE IN THE FORM OF IN-KIND SERVICES. - WHEREAS, Indian River County has never had a formal historical sites survey conducted within its legal jurisdictional borders; and WHEREAS, Indian River County has very few, if any, historical or archaeological sites recorded on the Florida Master Site File; and WHEREAS, CHAPTER 9J-5 of the Florida Administrative Code requires that historical resources be addressed in the future land use, housing and coastal management elements of local government comprehensive plans; and WHEREAS, The federal grant-in-aid application for the proposed historic preservation project requires that the Board of . County Commissioners designate a project supervisor; and WHEREAS, said application requires that the.Board of County Commissioners confirm the amount specified as matching funds; NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida that: DEC 4 L_ BOOK 70 r'A Gf 197 DEC 11997 BOOK 70 PACE 190, 1.

DEC 11987 BOOK 70 PA;F 200 Commissioner Eggert asked if this was something that could have been anticipated and bid ahead, and Sonny Dean, Owner's Authorized Representative on the project, explained that at the time the site work was being done, the Fire Department determined that the fire hydrant needed to be located•closer to the area to serve all of it. Since the County installed the utilities out there, we decided to go ahead and do it ourselves.

Baird OMB Director Explanation - = Emergency Management needs the attached equipfient to be included in the new E911 Central Communication Center to continue operations in a worst case situation. This would provide a back-up location for the EOC and Executive Group to continue local government operations as well as provide some necessary communications that is needed on routine non -emergency day to day operations. The installation and purchase at a cost of $9,615.60 is much more feasible and less expensive at this point rather than attempt to install it after the center is on line. Sheriff Dobeck has given verbal approval for the addition of the equipment. Funding It is requested that the funding come from the Sheriff Administration Building Construction Fund contingency which has a current balance'of $200,865.00 Recommendation Staff recommends the approval to purchase and installation of this communications equipment listed. Commissioner Eggert emphasized that she still asks questions every time 911 comes up because she is frustrated with all the changes, and OMB Director Joe Baird explained that this particular item is a budget amendment that the Board approved earlier this year. Commissioner Eggert questioned the "verbal approval" given by Sheriff Dobeck, and Director Baird explained that the Sheriff just was saying that he will allow the equipment to be installed in his 911 center. Commissioner Eggert said that in the future she would prefer to see everything in writing. 11987 16 BOOK 70 P,*209 DEC 11987 Boolc 70 Fa �E0 ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved the above budget amendment #2 to the Sheriff's Admin.

APPROVAL_ OF SITE FOR VERO BEACH_ LIBRARY (tabled from Meeting of 11/17/87 Stan Boling, Chief of Current Development, reviewed the following memo dated 11130187: TO: The Honorable Members of DATE: November 30, 1987 FILE: the Board of County Commissioners DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: Robert M. tea ng,� CP SUBJECTMAIN LIBRARY SITE SELECTION; Community Develop t Director DECEMBER 1, 1987 MEETING FROM: Stan Boling REFERENCES: BCC Chief, Current Development MISC Background At its regular meeting of November 17, 1987, the Board tabled consideration of a main library site, pending more information. Specifically, more information was needed about the Grace Lutheran and Catron sites as follows: 1. Shared parking and potential parking around the Grace Lutheran site (including graphic of entire area); 2. The cost of providing underground (first floor) parking; 3. Traffic analysis; 4. Polling councilmen about the rezoning that would be needed for the Catron site; and 5. The status of the Nancy Moon offer: the effect of existing leases. County and City staff have researched these areas. County staff will present at the meeting the new information and a comparison of the acquisition and development costs for the Grace Lutheran and Catron sites. Potential and Required Parkin% A 35,000 sq. ft. library requires 88 parking spaces; a 50,000 sq. ft. facility requires 125 spaces. If all of the 5.1 acre Catron site can be utilized for a library, then enough room exists for a first floor 50,000 sq. ft. structure and 125 spaces. 17 The Grace Lutheran site, however, would need to be developed with a 35,000 sq. ft. ground floor structure with any future 15,000 sq. ft. addition being added vertically (second floor). With such an arrangement, land use would be as follows: building .......... 35,000 sq. ft. (38.5%) (possible 15,000 sq. ft. addition on second story) on-site parking [40 spaces] ............ 15,000 sq. ft. (16.5%) on-site open space ............... .....41,000 sq. ft. (45%) (some open space area could be utilized for any loading area or drop-off area) off. -site parking [85 spaces] ........... 34,000 sq. ft. Off-site parking area needed ±34,000 sq. ft. Off-site space available immediately north of Grace Lutheran block: ±37,500 cost of acquisition: $60,000 First Baptist Church property available immediately north of the site .......... ......31,250 sq. ft. Additional contiguous lot (now for sale)...... 6,250 sq. ft. Total 37,500 sq. ft. Grace Lutheran Block..........................91,000 sq. ft. Off-site parking area .........................37,500 sq. ft. Total 128,500 sq. ft. or 2.95 acres Shared Parking The pastor of the First Baptist Church has indicated that the church would have no problem working with the County to provide shared parking for the library and the church. The church would be willing to enter into a long-term lease agreement with the County to use the church's available land immediately north of the Grace Lutheran site in exchange for development of parking area.on the site which can be used by the church. This would include use by the County of the existing church's paved 2 lots (west side of 16th Avenue) presently striped for 23 spaces. Thus, the County would incur no acquisition costs for this additional area. The cost of razing and removing an existing pastorium would be borne by the County. Underground Parking The cost of providing underground (first floor) parking, including installation of an elevator, would cost approximately $350,000 for a 35,000 sq. ft. building. Such parking would provide about 92 spaces. DUEC 11987 18 BOOK 70 rnF 211 k� r BOOK 70 �'a,F 21.2 Traffic Analysis Traffic analysis was performed by City staff and indicates that the following off-site improvements would probably be required: Grace Lutheran: (a) increase intersection radii Catron: (a) widen 23rd Avenue from S.R. 60 to 19th Street to 24' (remove existing curbs and some trees, widen road, replace curbing, provide turn lane at S.R. 601; (b) widen 19th Street from 23rd Avenue to 27th Avenue (from 18' to 22'); (c) provide signal at S.R. 60, subject to FDOT approval. access to 19th Street should be restricted to service vehicles only S.R. 60 access is questionable With a 35,000 sq. ft. structure on the Grace Lutheran site, about half of the required parking spaces can be provided on-site. That would leave about 450 open green space, some of which could be used for loading spaces or a drop-off area, but the remainder of the parking would have to be obtained off-site. There is potential parking nearby, but the houses are not for sale at this time and probably would require condemnation. Staff has estimated that the cost of acquiring that property and razing the existing houses would be approximately $300,000. To the south of the Grace Lutheran block, there are some lots that could be acquired as the owners are willing to sell. The approximate cost would be $250,000 for 4 lots. Staff feels that the prime choice would be to use the parking at the First Baptist Church parking, which is north of the Grace Lutheran site, across from 22nd Street. By working with First Baptist Church, there would be no acquisition costs for 5 lots which would be more than enough to meet the off-site parking that is needed for a 50,000 sq. ft. library. The County could enter into a longtime perpetual lease agreement to utilize the property for parking, as long as it could be shared with First Baptist Church; according to the City's zoning code, this can be done. 19 -1 Mr. Boling advised that if we went with a $35,000 sq. ft. facility on a raised structure with parking underneath, we could get about 92 spaces on-site. In analyzing the traffic flow situation for both sites, Mr. Boling advised that the City Engineering Department does not see any need for any extraordinary off-site transportation or traffic improvements other than increasing the paving radii at the intersections at all 4 corners of the Grace Lutheran block, and that requirement probably would be applied to the Catron site as well. With regard to the Catron site, Mr. Boling advised that there is an existing median cut that lines up with De Leon, which is to the north of site. The use of a median cut from SR -60 directly into the site is questionable as it would have to be approved by the DOT and would require extensive modifications of the median cut itself. The City Engineering staff has determined that 19th Street is substandard as it is only 18 feet wide and would need to be widened from 23rd Avenue over to 27th Avenue. In addition, 23rd Avenue would need to be widened from 19th Street to SR -60, and that would require the removal of curbing and possibly some large oak trees which grow along the curb. These costs are included in the comparison cost analysis with the Grace Lutheran site. It is also possible that signalization would be needed or warranted at 23rd Avenue and SR -60 or at an entrance right on SR -60. The main concern for the Catron site would be the left -turn maneuvers coming out of the Catron site or out of 23rd Avenue going west on SR -60. There also would be a need for a left -turn lane along 23rd Avenue to stack lefthand turns adequately. Mr. Boling felt we would be looking at acquiring a lot if 23rd Avenue is to be the main route. Referring to a map of the Catron site, Mr. Boling pointed out that almost half of the site is zoned POI, which does not allow a library site, and would require a zoning amendment. In addition, the property down to 23rd would have to be rezoned POI DEC 11987 20 BOOK 70 FA,E 213 DEC 11987 BOOK 70 racE 214 as well. He reported that the County has received a letter from the City staff, who are vigorously opposed to the Catron site; however, he did not have any information as to the feelings of the City councilmen. Attorney Vitunac advised that Councilman Hoyt Howard said he would be in favor of the Catron property and Councilman John Acor wants to wait until a public hearing, but those are the only two he has talked with. Chairman Scurlock asked what timeframe would be needed for a rezoning on the Catron property, and Mr. Boling estimated that the rezoning process would take a minimum of 3 months. Mr. Boling reviewed the following cost comparison: COMPARISON OF ACQUISITION/DEVELOPMENT ESTIMATED COSTS Grace Lutheran Block Catron $760,000 to acquire block $750,000 to acquire 5.1 acres 60,000 to acquire additional lot 70,000 to acquire access further back from S.F. 60 0 to acquire 5 church lots ±20,000 23rd Avenue widening and turn lane 70,000 to clear block ±15,000 19th Street widening 12,000 to clear church lots and ±35,000 signalization at S.R. additional lot 60 (possible) $878,000 Total $890,000 Total developed acreage: 2.95 acres developed acreage: 5.4 acres 21 Commissioner Bird understood that the site plan for either of the two sites would have to be approved by the City of Vero Beach, and wondered if they have any requirements for on-site parking. Mr. Boling understood that any parking within 500 feet of the facility is considered on-site, and up to 25% of the parking can be located off-site. With regard to the costs involved in the MacArthur/Davis site, Mr. Boling advised that we have received a letter from an individual, who wishes to remain anonymous, offering to contribute $250,000 toward the purchase of the MacArthur`/Davis site which is offered at $1.25 million. Staff did not have a traffic analysis done on that site, however, but feel that two adjacent streets would have to be paved at an estimated cost of $30,000. With the $250,000 donation, the cost of acquiring and developing the 4.6 acre site still would be over $1 -million. Mr. Boling believed we probably would need a little more fill on that site than on the other 2 sites. Commissioner Eggert pointed out that when the Public Library Advisory Board toured other libraries in the state, they got the feeling that a 35,000 sq. ft. building would be sufficient and that we really didn't need 50,000 sq. ft. in one building. In addition, wherever they went, they were advised to make sure that we have enough workers for the space. She felt that we should consider building only 35,000 sq. ft., but pointed out that whether we need it built on a park -like site or a downtown site is another matter. Commissioner Eggert noted that in the beginning, she was opposed to a 2 -story facility, but now would be willing to consider a 2 -story plan. Commissioner Wheeler understood that if we went to a 2 -story structure, the cost would be minimum for adding the third story, and Commissioner Eggert advised that she was told that it would cost 15%-20% more to have parking underneath the building. 22 BOOK 70 FA.'11215 DEC 11997 BOOK 70 PACE 216 Chairman Scurlock advised that petitions with over 200 signatures of people opposed to the selection of the Grace Lutheran site have been received and will be made part of the record, along with a letter from the Historical Society supporting the Grace Lutheran site. Chairman Scurlock read the following letter from Nancy Moon, owner of the property on which the Downtown Supermarket and Coin Laundry are located: November 4, 1987 County Commissioners Indian River County To whomever this may concern: I have been notified fully, by my agents, of your interest in the, property, now under my control, located at 16th Ave. and 21st Street. It has always been the hope of my husband Sam E. Moon and myself for th:'.s property t.o be developed in the manner that is nova. -being spec-.klated. My intention is to give full cooperation in order to achieve this goal for all the citizens of Indian River County. My price for Lots 3 - 4 and 5. Block 37 is $120,000.00. This property is unemcumbered by a mortgage and the only lease is until June, 1988. (which should not be a problem.) b The commercial portion of the property Lots 6 and 71 Block 37 is not as simple a solution due to the fact that leases exist and the tenants Walter Nies and Scott and Reynolds Smith (Judge Smiths Sons) have not yet given me a figure for a buy-out. I am willing to offer the.property to the County for $255,000.00. Whether I can negotiate with the leaseholders or not, I will sign whatever' -is necessary to show my intention of selling this property to the County at this price. Should the leaseholders demands be too high,'perhaps I should continue to hold the property under my control while depreciating the value of lease. I will do whatever you believe is best for County in order to continue plans to use this site. Again, perhaps, the land contained under this building could later be used as added parking or green area should it be necessary for me to delay sale. My wishes are to expedite this complete package b1e but it is not under my complete control. 23 I will be back in Vero Beach Nov. 14 and will be happy to speak direct&y to whomever can help accomplish the above matter. I cannot stress to you enough, the cooperativeness I feel and the pleasure that I will have in seeing my husbands dream for Vero Beach become a reality. My deep admiration goes to Doug Scurlock knd to everyone for the efforts and the foresight to plan a complex f(.: -.r government that our citizen will long be proud of, in the ;Jownto-:."n area. Sincerely, L In addition to the attached letter that I wrote the County Commission At. November 4, 1987, I add the following: I stancl today, December 1, 1987 as I did on Nov. 4, 1987, firm in my offer to sell the subject property to Indian River County for the purpose of building a Library and more importantly for making a committme nt to the downtown area. This area is ready, willing and able to accept this committment and deserves the chance to become the reality so many of our past leaders visualized - a Governmental and County Complex of Buildings worthy of future generations use. It is now our privilege and. duty to fulfill that vision. with your affirmative decision on this property, I have advised Mr. Scurlock, Mr. Vitunac and Mr. Balczun that I will begin the channels to have.all emcumbrances released from my property and will take full responsibility for doing so. Chairman Scurlock read the following fetter from Otis G. Pike, who has offered to donate $250,000 towards the purchase of the MacArthur/Davis property: W C . 2 4 BOOK 1 o PAGE 217 ® E C 1 1997 BOOK 70 Pa,E 218 ©&t g?. -qh, " //NO ,qe,2(9CWd, of 26 Qle,�a -on-W'i. 5am9a, 8-DG3 305 -2- i `Vr8 Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Mildred Mance stressed the importance of the safety factor in the selection of a library site, and worried whether any other 25 buildings in the downtown area would be open as late as the library. She also was worried about clumps of landscaping that might be planted between the library and the parking spaces. Mrs. Mance believed that of all the sites, the MacArthur/Davis site would be the safest because it is so close to the police station. Edra Young, resident of Sebastian, told of a site plan for an entire government center up in North Carolina, and urged the Commissioners to look at what she considered to be an outstanding plan. Chairman Scurlock felt there has been some misunderstanding about us going outside the city limits somewhere and developing a large government complex with a courthouse, but that actually isn't an option because such a county complex must be located within the city limits of the county seat. Charles Block, local architect, supported the downtown location. Roy Howard, representing First Baptist Church of Vero Beach, advised that they are in favor of the Grace Lutheran site and would be happy to help out in any way they can with the facilities they have. Mr. Howard advised that he also was speaking in behalf of the Historical Society, who wish to go on record of being in favor of the downtown site. Bill Koolage, 815 26th Avenue, speaking on behalf of the Vero Beach Chapter of the American Association of Retired Persons, announced that they are opposed to both the MacArthur/Davis and Grace Lutheran sites. He stated that he wouldn't repeat the objections he voiced at the last meeting during the discussion on the selection of a site for the Vero Beach library, but would like to question the costs of leasing property near the Grace Lutheran block to satisfy the parking needs. Chairman Scurlock did not feel that leasing property for parking was going to accelerate the cost to the taxpayers. DEC 11987 2 6 EOOK 70 Fa,E F19 _I DEG 11987 BOOK 70 PAGE 2�� Mr. Koolage stressed that most senior citizens in this community do not feel the cost of revitalization of the downtown area should be their responsibility, and suggested that the City of Vero Beach should play the major role in the revitalization and do something other than just landscaping here and there. The Chapter would prefer to have a library located off SR -60 rather than the downtown area, because there is trouble getting around downtown what with all the stop signs and not being able to enter 22nd Street from 14th Avenue. The Chapter feels that development in this community is to the west and to the south, and that the Catron site is more accessible for the elderly people who come in from those directions. With the Catron site, all the parking can be on-site and people won't have to cross a street to enter the library. Mr. Koolage felt that all along there has been too little information about what is needed for the libraries, and what information there is has been too late in coming, especially with regard to the bond issue on the libraries. He expressed his surprise at hearing during this meeting that we don't need a 50,000 sq, ft. facility, and felt that should have been considered long before this. Commissioner Eggert recalled that she indicated at the last meeting that perhaps a 35,000 sq. ft. facility would be sufficient, but the question seemed to be how and where we would provide another 15,000 square feet when it was needed. After walking through Wal-Mart, which is close to 50,000 sq. ft., the Advisory Board is leaning more towards a 35,000 sq. ft. facility. Mr. Koolage felt that the Catron property provides room for expansion, sufficient parking, and better accessibility for the elderly who use the library a great deal. James Granse, President of the Taxpayers Association of Indian River County, Inc., emphasized that ever since this matter was tabled two weeks ago, suggestions and demands have been coming in from all directions. The Taxpayers Association feels that a 35,000 sq. ft. library should be used as a stepping 27 M stone in the revitalization of the downtown area. He read the following letter into the record: P.O. Box 1751 VERO BEACH, FLORIDA Dt TRXPRYERS RSSOCIRTIOR X61OF � IDDIRD RIVER COUi1Ty InC. c«o1o A NON-PROFIT CORPORATION CHARTERED IN 1957 easier thea spending the public's mosey; it does not appear to belong to anybody. The temptation is overwhelming to bestow it on somebody." - Calvin Coolidge November 30, 1987 Indian River County Commissioners Administration Building 1840 25th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960 Attn: Doug Scurlock, Chairman The Board of Directors of the Indian River County Taxpayers' Association has concluded that there is no immediate need to select a library site at this time. Sufficient unanswered questions remain as to the bottom line expense involved surrounding each of the proposed sites. While financing has been arranged, it is not going to disappear if we wait. Anything less than the best possible location will have long-term implications. It is our conclusion that at least three months be set aside to further study this matter and that no action be taken at this time. Weare ready to contribute our resources to this endeavor. Chester Clem, representing the Catron interests, presented some charts and graphs of the site located on SR -60 and showed the proximity to several public schools in the area. He also showed a conceptual drawing of the library on the Catron parcel with Phase 1 being 35,000 sq. ft. and Phase 11 at 50,000 sq. ft. 987 28 BOOK �70 tA,r. 9 �1 DEC 1 7 DEC 11997 BOOK 70 F,�,E 22 Using an overlay of a 50,000 sq. ft. facility, he showed how the facility could be situated anywhere on the Catron site. He recalled that the consultant's report suggested that ideally the new main library should be located along SR -60 between the downtown area and 27th Avenue. He suggested that if the back part of the Catron site wasn't needed, it could be left off, and instead acquire an additional 138' x 230' of frontage on SR -60 at a proposed cost of $875,000 ($4.46 per sq. ft.). Attorney Clem stressed the flexibility of the Catron site and pointed out that if the library was built downtown, we would never have enough parking for a new government complex. Chairman Scurlock pointed out that we are considering a multi-level parking structure for the downtown area, but people seem to think that we are going to use only surface parking. Attorney Clem felt that trying to fit the library on the Grace Lutheran site was like having an elephant on a postage stamp. He urged the Commissioners to select the Catron site. Frank Hahn, Secretary of Vista Civic Association which represents 900 families, recalled that last winter he sent a letter on behalf of their association to the Public Library Advisory Board expressing their preference of the MacArthur/Davis site, and feel the donation towards the purchase of the MacArthur/Davis property would bring that site in line with the other 2 sites. He didn't feel the library would create a downtown area where there is no longer a downtown area. There really is not any retail area there any longer, and Mr. Hahn pointed out that the present library has not brought any stimulus to that area. He felt that the MacArthur/Davis property should be considered because of its central location, ample parking, and the additional costs that will be necessary in the development of the other two sites. Samuel Pascal, 10 -year resident of Vero Beach, wanted to remind everyone that a few years ago when we put together the 29 M M M concept of a library, there were many people here who worked very hard, and people voted 66% in favor of a bond issue for a library facility. That percentage included a large percentage of elderly voters. He felt we should go forward and plan ahead for the future because the City of Vero Beach needs a central area, and he believed the Grace Lutheran site would be a proper location. Peter Beutell preferred the Grace Lutheran site, because he felt the rezoning of the Catron property would be a very big issue. He pointed out that it would take 3 months to go through the public hearing process without knowing what response we would get, and felt it would be opening a very big can of worms for the POI District to extend all the way out to 43rd Avenue. John Frazer, CPA talked about capital costs figures and felt that some of the future costs needed to be considered today. He believed that the proper location for the library is in the downtown area with a multi-level structure, as the property is properly zoned. He advised the the Downtown Association, Council of 100, and the Chamber of Commerce are all in favor of the downtown site. Bill Stegkemper, real estate agent and resident of Vero Beach since 1949, knew what the downtown area used to be, and urged the Commissioners to go ahead with the Grace Lutheran site. George Gross, resident of Vero Beach, urged the selection of the Catron site as he believed there would be greater zoning problems with the Grace Lutheran site than with amending the POI zoning district to allow a library. There being no others who wished to be heard, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing. Chairman Scurlock stated that he has been a supporter of the Grace Lutheran site for a number of reasons; the main one being that by using the Grace Lutheran site, we could accomplish a number of goals at the same time. He did not feel the parking in that area is the problem that people have suggested here today. DEC 11987 30 Boa 70 r,A1,1223 a E c 11997 BOOK 70 r uE 2?4 However, he felt that any of the 3 sites would be a reasonable site for a library. Commissioner Bowman agreed that putting the library on the Grace Lutheran site would be like putting an elephant on a postage stamp, and did not feel the library would be a benefit to the downtown area. She wanted to see a master plan for a capital improvements program , and until somebody comes forth with that, she did not see any reason for us to put our money in that area. She supported the Catron property because she felt it has it all. Commissioner Eggert stated that she had never before been so totally torn about anything in her entire life. She felt there are great advantages to both sites, but at this point is leaning to the Grace Lutheran site. She recalled that in the beginning when they talked of having the library on the downtown site, it was with the thought that it could do something for downtown, and in return, would limit the cost of the library. The trade-off would be that if we were in the position of having to purchase land for parking, the cost of that would be covered in future bonding for the new courthouse, etc. This is one of the reasons that staff was directed to go out and look for property that could be leased for the purpose of additional parking. Commissioner Eggert believed that the library, along with the new courthouse which is expected to proceed within the next two years, will stimulate the revitalization of the downtown area, and for that reason, stated that she is leaning towards the Grace Lutheran site. Commissioner Bird agreed completely with the concept of revitalizing and restoring the downtown area, but did not feet that we should force our main library on a site that is too small. He believed the courthouse needs study currently being done may very well indicate that we need that Grace Lutheran property and other nearby properties for governmental purposes. He believed we would end up paying almost double per square foot 31 for the Grace Lutheran site once we pay to have all the buildings cleared away, etc. In addition, he pointed out that the downtown streets are congested and difficult to get around, especially for the elderly. He did not like the idea of people having to park off-site and cross a street to enter the library. Commissioner Bird believed that if we were looking at some other business venture's site plan on the Grace Lutheran block, we would frown on them going off-site for their parking, and would prefer that they put it all on site, properly buffered and landscaped. He felt we should follow the same set of rules. Further, he was very reluctant to put the supermarket and coin laundry out of business, and stressed that petitions have been signed by several hundred persons who want the businesses to remain. Another reason he is opposed to the Grace Lutheran site is because it would force the removal of the large oak trees that are in the middle of the site. Commissioner Bird favored the Catron site as he always envisioned a library to be situated in a quiet, secluded setting, with ample parking. His second choice would be the MacArthur/Davis site. Commissioner Wheeler emphasized that this was an extremely difficult decision to make because he felt all 3 sites are good locations and centrally located. However, looking to the future, he felt the Catron property would have problems with access and the increased traffic on SR -60. Further, he did not feel that government buildings need the high visibility that professional offices do, and that the Grace Lutheran block would be preferable. He noted that the change from 35,000 sq, ft. to 50,000 sq. ft. dramatically changes the comparison criteria for the 3 sites. After reviewing all the material and weighing all the fact.s; he believed that the Grace Lutheran site will bring many benefits. Chairman Scurlock pointed out that Mrs. Moon has advised that the lease for the supermarket will be up in 3 years and is DEC 11987 3 Z Door 70 ri 1 2?5 I BOOK 70 not renewable. The laundromat has a 5 -year lease, but apparently, there has been some discussion about giving up that lease. He emphasized that the total cost to the County of acquiring the Moon property on the Grace Lutheran block would be $375,000, and any other costs involved would be the responsibility of Mrs. Moon. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED .by Commissioner Eggert, that the Board select the Grace Lutheran block as the site of the Vero Beach library, contingent upon free and clear title to the Moon property at no additional cost to the County. Under discussion, Mr. Boling asked if the purchase would be contingent on working out a long-term lease with the First Baptist Church and site plan approval, and Commissioner Eggert felt the Motion would have to include all of that. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion carried by a vote of 3-2, Commissioners Bowman and Bird dissenting.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY , BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DON C. SCURLOCK, JR. CHAIRMAN NOV. 9, 1987 The Board reviewed the following memo dated 11/6/87: TO: Boar �CoVnty Commissioners FROM: Cha i'�u acs ounty Attorney DATE: November 6, 1987 RE: Amendment of Ordinance 86-81, Creating MSTU for Ixora Park and Eastview Gardens The property appraiser recently brought to the attention of the County Attorney's Office the fact that the MSTU created to provide street lighting to the Ixora Park Subdivision failed to include the entire subdivision. The subdivision was recorded in seven "plats" or "units", while the ordinance describes only six units. 37 Evidence of the intent to include all seven plats is found in the original memorandum proposing the MSTU to the Board from Jim Davis and Joe Baird. That memorandum speaks of 220 lots in Ixora Park, a sum reached only if all seven Ixora Park plats are included. Further, the original petition by the property owners includes many signatures of persons with addresses on 1st Place S.W., which consists of lots primarily within plat 7. It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the attached ordinance to amend the MSTU to include plat 7 of Ixora Park in the taxing unit. The Chairman opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, he declared the Public Hearing closed. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously adopted Ordinance 87-64, amending Ordinance 86-81, which created the Ixora Park and Eastview Gardens Street Lighting MSTU; adding plat 7 to the taxing unit. 38 BOOK 70 f'AjE2:31 D E D 119847 r DEC 117 600K 70 PAGE232 ORDINANCE NO. 87- 64 AN ORDINANCE OF .INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 86-81, WHICH CREATED THE IXORA PARK AND EASTVIEW GARDENS MUNICIPAL SERVICE TAXING UNIT; PROVIDING FOR THE CREATION OF THE TAXING UNIT; ADDING PLAT 7 TO THE TAXING UNIT; PURPOSE; DETERMINATION OF COST OF STREET LIGHTING SERVICE OR OTHER APPROVED SERVICE; LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS, ADOPTION OF BUDGET; EXEMPTION FROM TAXATION OR ASSESSMENTS; DISPOSITION OF PROCEEDS FOR THE DISTRICT FOR STREET LIGHTING OR OTHER PURPOSES; INCORPORATION IN CODE; SEVERABILITY; AND EFFECTIVE DATE.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DON C. SCURLOCK, JR., CHAIRMAN November 7, 1987 The Board reviewed the following memo dated 11118/87: 40 DEC 1119387 BOOK 70 [,Art 2' 3 BOOK, 70 N,IGE234 TO: The Honorable Members DATE: November 18, 1987 FILE: of the Board of County Commissioners SUBJECT: ordinance amending Section 4-131 (C) '~ Categories of Contractors FROM: Ester Rymer FERENCES: Building Direct r It is requested that the data herein be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their meeting of December 1, 1987. Currently, contractors are regulated by, and defined in, Chapter 489 of the Florida Statutes and thirty-two (32) categories as tested by Block and Associates. Several changes have been made as Block and Associates has continued to grow over the years. The original list of categories has been expanded and now includes technical examinations for over 100 different classification of contractors in the construction trades. I respectfully request that we amend our ordinance to allow us the flexibility of taking advantage of all the exams offered by Block and Associates. Building Director Ester Rymer explained that since Block & Associates continue to change their list of categories and available tests, staff would like to be able to require those same exams to be taken by the contractors in Indian River County, and our ordinance needs to be amended accordingly. Commissioner Wheeler asked how this would affect the contractors who already have taken the tests and have a category, and Director Rymer advised that anyone who currently has a contractor's license in Indian River County is grandfathered in. The Chairman opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, he declared the Public Meeting closed. 0 41 7^ ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously adopted Ordinance 87-65, amending the Code of Laws and Ordinances, pertaining to categories of contractors regulated by the ordinance.

Baiczun, County Administrator James W. Davis, P.E., Public Works Director FROM: Michael L. Orr V Traffic Engineer • «• •�V-57 Kai•• u r DATE: November 19, 1987 FILE: SUBJECT: 58th Avenue Traffic Operations Plan REFERENCES: A study was conducted by staff in response to (1) poor pavement conditions, (2) inadequate shoulder area, and (3) narrow bridges across the Lateral "B" Canal at 16th, 12th, 8th and 4th Streets. The subject report was presented to the Transportation Planning Camiittee on November 18, 1987, which subsequently recamended approval of the plan with a 150 -foot right-of-way for 58th Avenue. Various improvements are recommended between 1988 and 1995 to alleviate existing deficiencies and to enhance safety and capacity. These improve- ments, cost, funding source and staging are outlined in Table 3 (page 33) Of the subject report. The relocation of 58th Avenue from the Main Relief e` Canal to Oslo Road at an estimated cost of $4,125,000 is recanmerided to be added to the current five-year Transportation Improvement Program. ALTERqkTI%W AND ANALYSIS (1) Approve the 58th Avenue Traffic Operations Plan and add the 58th Avenue relocation project to the Traffic Improvement Program. (2) Select other roadway projects to add to the Transportation:Improvement Program. (3) Do not approve the 58th Avenue Traffic Operations Plan and do not add projects to the Traffic Improvement Program at this time. R aemi] ION AND FUNDING Alternative # 1 is recatmended to alleviate existing poor roadway con- ditions and to increase roadway capacity for future growth. Funding is available through Traffic Impact Fees (Districts 8 and 9) and gas tax revenue. 45 � � r Chairman Scurlock asked if we had anticipated paying for right-of-way acquisition on this particular improvement in our original capital improvement plan upon which we based our impact fee, and Public Works Director Jim Davis confirmed that we did. Chairman Scurlock felt very strongly that we need to do whatever is necessary to bring our impact fees to a current status. He urged the Board to support that position, even if that means bringing in a different consultant, because we are losing big bucks on the impact fees. Commissioner Eggert felt the Board had made it clear the last time that we want to move as quickly as possible on the road impact fees. Director Davis advised that currently staff is working on the park user fees study, and as soon as that is completed at the end of this month, they anticipate doing the impact fees in-house, which probably will take 30 days. He expected they could have the impact fees current by the end of January. He advised that we are finding that consultants do not have the grass roots knowledge to come in and do what we want them to do, as most of them are from out of town. Director Davis noted that the park user fee also impacts the capital projects program, and staff would like to workshop that - with the Board because it is going to be a comprehensive plan. Chairman Scurlock understood that all we have to do to get a new impact fee is to plug in additional data into the computer model and it will spit out the new impact fee, and Director Davis confirmed that it won't take very long. Chairman Scurlock noted that the following letter has been received from Mr. & Mrs. Fred C. Gossett: 46 BOOK 70 F'"Gf. ?:39 I DEC 11987 Bou 70 FAUF 240 6025 Atlantic Boulevard''**,,.,' Vero Beach, Florida 32966: November 30, 1987 ter.

Respectfully yours, Fred C. & Dorothy E. Gossett Commissioner Bird felt that other than the realignment of the intersection of Atlantic Boulevard to 16th Street, the rest of the.report made sense, and suggested that the intersection realignment be removed for further study. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved staff's recommendation and approved the 58th Avenue Traffic Operations Plan with the deletion of the realignment of the intersection of Atlantic Boulevard and 16th Street at this time. 47 Chairman Scurlock suggested that Atlantic Boulevard not be accessed from Kings Highway and accessed only from 66th Avenue, but Director Davis advised that staff's suggestion is to reroute Atlantic Boulevard to make it a proper 4 -way intersection, just like at 4th and 8th Streets along that corridor. RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING FEE FOR PREPARATION OF CREMATION CERTIFICATE BY THE DISTRICT MEDICAL EXAMINER The Board reviewed the following memo dated 11/20/87: TO: The Board of County Commissioners FROM: Sharon Phillips Brennan Assistant County Attorney DATE: November 20, 1987 SUBJECT: Resolution establishing fee for preparation of cremation certificate by the District Medical Examiner Formerly, a request for a resolution authorizing the District Medical Examiner to charge administrative fees for /copies of autopsy reports, death investigation reports and other reports relating to investigations conducted by that office was tabled due to the Board's concern that such a resolution might violate provisions of the Public Records Act. At a meeting of the County Attorneys from Martin, St. Lucie, Okeechobee and Indian River Counties, -it was determined that only the actual cost of reproduction of public record documents could be collected by the Medical Examiner. Because the cremation certificate is not in the nature of a public record and must be individually reviewed and prepared by the Medical Examiner, it was recommended that the counties approve and adopt a ten dollar cremation approval fee. Adoption of the resolution shall be subject to the concurrence of the other three counties in the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit. DEC 11987 4$ 800K 70 FA;E241 ®E C 1 1987Boor �70 oaf 242 ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by, Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously adopted Resolution 87-141, authorizing the Medical Examiner for the 19th District to charge a $10 fee for the preparation and issuance of cremation certificates. RESOLUTION NO. 87- 141 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MEDICAL EXAMINER FOR THE NINETEENTH DISTRICT TO CHARGE A TEN DOLLAR FEE FOR THE PREPARATION AND ISSUANCE OF CREMATION CERTIFICATES BY THE MEDICAL EXAMINER AND/OR HIS STAFF FOR INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA. WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida, has made the following determinations: 1. The District Medical Examiner is required by law to prepare and issue a Cremation Certificate for'each cremation performed in Indian River County, Florida. 2. Preparation, issuance and compliance with said requests consume considerable time and effort at a substantial expense to Indian River County with the benefit derived from such actions attributable to a small minority of Indian River County taxpayers. 3. It is in the best interest of the taxpayers of Indian River County for this Commission to establish a fair and reasonable fee schedule to cover the costs of the District Medical Examiner's office in preparing and providing the documents noted herein. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida: 1. The District Medical Examiner, in and for the Nineteenth District of the State of Florida, is hereby authorized to charge each funeral home a fee of ten dollars for the preparation and issuance of a Cremation Certificate required by Chapter 406, Florida Statutes. 49 L1 2. The checks and money orders for the above-mentioned fees should be made payable to the Office of the Medical Examiner District 19 and a special account should be established for deposit of these fees. 3. Revenues generated as a result of these specific administrative functions should be applied directly to the operation of the Office of the Medical Examiner so that corresponding reductions can be allocated to offset the burden to Indian River County taxpayers. _ 4. This resolution shall take effect on December 1, 1987. The foregoing Resolution was offered by Commissioner Eggert who moved its adoption. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Bird and, upon being put to a vote, the vote was as follows: Chairman Don C. Scurlock, Jr. Aye_ Vice Chairman Margaret C. Bowman -ye Commissioner Richard N.

The purpose of the delegation meeting prior to the convening of the regular session of the Florida Legislature is to consider thv introduction of Special Acts relating to Indian River County and to allow local residents an opportunity to voice their opinions on various issues to the delegation. Members of the Indian River County delegation are Representative R. Dale Patchett, District #78; Represen- tative Irlo 'Bud" Bronson, District #77; and Senator Tim Deratany, District #16. Anyone wishing to have a Special Act for Indian River County introduced should have the Act drafted and brought to my office at 49 Royal Palm Boulevard, before December 9, 1987. A statement, by an attorney, that the purpose of the Act -cannot be accomplished by local ordinance or rule, is required with each proposed Special Act. If you have any questions regarding the meeting or wish to be on the agenda to address the delegation, please contact my Legislative Aide Dawn Smith or my Legislative Secretary Laura Mussen. Commissioner Bowman asked if we have any special bills to take to the Legislative Delegation in January, and Attorney Vitunac advised that we are supporting a bill sponsored by the Tri -County group that would make county checks void after one year. Other than that, there are no special bills coming from his office. Commissioner Bird suggested that we ask the Delegation to support us in having the DOT do the improvements along SR -60, and 53 Chairman Scurlock felt that we should continue to push for local tax options to fund our capital projects and operating costs. Commissioner Bowman wanted the County Attorney to push for the dissolution of the Town of Orchid and everyone agreed, except for Commissioner Bird, who felt that before we do that, we should ask the Town owners to come before the Board and advise us of their plans.
