Wieger.s 7LA) REFERENCES: sandpointe s/d Staff PlannerBWIEG G It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal_ consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of May 17, 1988. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS: Sandpointe Subdivision is a proposed 100 lot subdivision of a ±52 acre parcel of land located immediately south of Seagrove Subdivi- sion and lying on both sides of S.R. A -1-A. At the present time the owners are undergoing preparation to commence development of the portion of this property which lies between S.R. A -1-A and the Atlantic Ocean. Because the property has over 600 feet of ocean shoreline, a public access easement running from SR A -1-A to the ocean is required pursuant to Section 10(r) of the subdivision ordinance. In lieu of actually providing such an easement, the Board. of County Commissioners may accept a monetary dedication to the park development fund in an amount equal to the fair market value of such an easement. At its regular meeting of October 8, 1987, the Planning and Zoning Commission granted preliminary plat approval for Sandpointe Subdivision, subject to the condition that either the actual easement be provided or a monetary dedication be offered that is acceptable to the Board of County Commissioners. The owners, Wildfield Properties, Inc., through their agent, Carter Associates, Inc., are now requesting Board approval to accept a $6,700 dedication to the park development fund to satisfy the water access requirement of Section 10(r) of the subdivision ordinance. ANALYSIS: In lieu of dedicating an improved access easement from SR A -1-A to the ocean, the owners have agreed to dedicate $6,700 at the time of the final plat approval. The $6,700 amount is based on an Armfield-Wagner appraisal of the fair market value of the required 15' wide improved access easement. The Property Appraiser's office has verified that the appraisal is a reasonable estimate of the raw land value of the required easement. The Public Works Department has verified that the cost estimate for an improved pedestrian walkway is reasonable. Dedication of the appraisal value is adequate for satisfying the public access requirement of Section 10(r) of the subdivision ordinance, if accepted by the Board of County Commissioners. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the offer to dedicate $6,700 to the park development fund at the time of final plat approval for this phase of Sandpointe Subdivision, in lieu of requiring a public, ocean access easement. 4 2.

DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: The County has been petitioned by Prakash S. and Joann M. Dalal, owners of the subject property, for the release of the southerly four (4) feet of the northerly twelve (12) foot utility and drainage easement of Lot 17, Block M, Indian River Heights Subdivision Unit No. 8, Section 13, Township 33 South, Range 39, East, Indian River County, Florida; according to the Plat thereof as recorded in Plat Book 7, Page 31, of the Official Records of Indian River County, Florida. It is the Petitioners' intention to construct a single-family residence on the property; the release of the portion of the easement is to prevent the extension of roof eaves into the easement. The current zoning classification of the property is RS -6, Single -Family Residential District. The Land Use Designation is LD -2, Low Density Residential, allowing up to six (6) Units per acre. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: The request has .been reviewed by Southern Bell Telephone, Florida Power and Light, Florida Cablevision Corporation, and the Indian River County Utility and Right -of -Way Departments. Based upon their reviews, there are no objections to the release of the southerly four (4) feet of the easement. Staff analysis indicates that the drainage would still be adequately handled on-site. 5 MAY 171988 BOOK 72 ;',10E 337 MAY 1 7 1988 BOOK 72 PAGE A:38 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends to the Board,through the adoption of a resolution, the release of the southerly four (4) feet of the northerly twelve (12) foot utility and drainage easement of Lot 17, Block M, Indian River Heights Subdivision Unit No. 8, Section 13, Township 33 South, Range 39 East, Plat Book 7, Page 31, of the Public Records of Indian River County, Florida.

The subject right-of-way is bordered on two sides by lots in the Townsite Plat of Roseland Subdivision and would provide a con- nection between 130th Street and 133rd Street, if developed. The purpose of this abandonment is to provide for more developable area for the lots bordering the right-of-way. Per guidelines established by the Board of County Commissioners, the petition was reviewed by all County divisions and utility providers having jurisdiction within the right-of-way. All agencies have completed their review of the proposed abandonment. The traffic engineer and utilities department have both objected to the abandonment of this right-of-way. The traffic engineer stated that this portion ofright-of-way should not be abandoned unless Roseland Street (133rd Street) is concurrently abandoned, which is not the case. The Utilities Department has plans to locate improvements in the subject right-of-way and the 133rd Street right-of-way. Although this portion of Berry Avenue (82nd Court) is presently unused and is not a part of the roadway system as noted on the County's Thoroughfare Plan, the right-of-way does provide for a future access connection and convenient utilities extensions. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the County not abandon its rights to this portion of Berry Avenue (82nd Court), and that the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners not be authorized to execute the attached resolution (Attachment #3). Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wishedtobe heard in this matter. There being none, he closed the Public Hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously denied the Clemons' petitionfor right-of-way abandonment of a portion of 82nd Court (Berry Avenue), as recommended by staff. 12 PENCH'S REQUEST FOR RIGHT-OF-WAY ABANDONMENT OF A PORTION OF 89TH COURT The hour of 9:05 o'clock A.M. having passed, the Deputy Clerk read the following Notice with Proof of Publication attached, to wit: VERO BEACH PRESS -JOURNAL.

Per guidelines established by the Board of County Commissioners,the petition was reviewed by all County divisions and utility providers having jurisdiction within the right-of-way. All reviewing agencies have recommended approval of the abandonment, with the provision that a 15' .utilities and drainage easement be retained. The easement will begin at the easterly edge of the existing ROW and will provide access to existing Southern Bell cables. This portion. of 89th Court is not part of the roadway system as noted on the County Thoroughfare Plan, and is not needed for the thoroughfare system. The stated reason for this abandonment is to gain additional developable property for the abutting lots. While 89th Court provides for connection to undeveloped property, the property is currently zoned commercial. The .Comprehensive Plan discourages the co -mingling residential and commercial traffic. Thus, granting the request would ensure that such comingling of traffic could not take place via 89th Court. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommendsthat the County abandon its rights to this portion of 89th Court, and that the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners be authorized to execute the attached Resolution (Attachment #3), with the condition: 1. that a 15' utility easement be retained as described in Exhibit A of the attached Resolution. Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, he closed the Public Hearing.

Delete reference to road damage within 1/4 mile of site and road damage bond; 3. Revise the calculation of the restoration bond to include the area of excavation only, not the entire project site; 4. Revise the compliance bond to apply to violations chargeable to the mining permit holder only. 5. Require that all hauling trucks prominently display the trucking company name on each vehicle. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the revised Mining Ordinance in its present form. AY 171988 17 so 72 E349 MAY. 17 19.88 8oOK: 72 F,'CE 35O Director Keating advised that Change #1 is referred to on page 6 of the ordinance; Changes 2-4 are shown on page 8; and Change #5 is included on page 10. Most of the changes werevery minor, as far as the wording that was added or deleted, and the wording complies with the intent of the Commission at the April 27th meeting. Director Keating read the following memo into the record: TO: The Honorable Members DATE: May 13, 1988 FILE: of the Board of County Commissioners ADDITIONAL MATERIAL REGARD- ING THE PROPOSED MINING SUBJECT: ORDINANCE Robert M. Keating, AICPR�'\ FROM: Director REFERENCES: Community Development Department Please find attached to this memo information provided to staff on this date by Ruth Stanbridge. Mrs. Stanbridge requested that the subject information be provided to the commission prior to its final action on the proposed mining ordinance. The attached information is an excerpt from material which Duncan Powell (biologist, Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission) had intended to present to the Board at its April 26, 1988 special meeting on the mining ordinance. As you may remember, Mr. Powell was the last speaker at that meeting and only had the opportunity to summarize his recommendations. If any questions arise on this matter, Mr. Powell will most likely be attending the May 17 meeting and can address questions at that time. 18 Taking the fisheries, wading bird, water fowl and water quality elements and realizing that fill needs for Indian River County must be met the following is recommended to be included into the mining ordinance: Include: 1. 30 percent of the created water body should be less than six feet deep. 2. 40 percent of the created water body should be less than eighteen feet deep. 3. Establishment of a vegetated littoral zone in all waters less than or equal to six feet deep. 4. Side slopes from 0 to -6 feet should not be steeper than 6H:1V. 5. All water depths to be determined from a normal water level. Director Keating noted that Mr. Powell's recommendations are in conflict with the proposed ordinance on a few points, and are not incorporated into this ordinance. Mr. Powell's major recommendations are to increase the littoral zone to 30% of the water body, and have at least 40% of the created water body less than 18 feet deep. Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Mike Bulsa of Dennis Smith, Inc., asked if the restoration and compliance bonds are items that are charged to other developers in a similar type of project, and Director Keating stated that they are not. Mr. Bulsa felt that the restoration and compliance requirement is discriminatory to mining operators. Commissioner Wheeler asked what projects would be similar to sand mining, and Director Keating pointed out that normally we don't request performance bonds for someone developing a SAYi`i188 19 BOOK. 72 FY,E J51 NAY 17 `g988 BOOK 72 PAGE 352 condominium or something like that. However, with a subdivision you have the ability to bond out required improvements and get your site plan early. Commissioner Eggert emphasized other developers are in the business of restoration to begin with, although the environ- mentalists might not agree, but there is destruction involved in mining before the actual restoration begins. Chairman Scurlock preferred to consider some performance bonds for other developers, rather than remove the requirement from mining operations, and Commissioner Eggert felt that would be worth looking into. Jim Gallagher of Sebastian objected to Section D in the ordinance having to do with the restriction of hours of a mining operation. He did not feel that mining operations should be restricted on Saturdays. Director Keating explained that the ordinance does not set any restrictions for hours of operation for mines that are in agricultural districts. It is in residential areas where the hours of operation are specified; however, they can be modified during the approval process by the Board of County Commissioners. Chairman Scurlock understood then that they would have the option to request operations on Saturdays and that the Commission has the flexibility to allow it, but the Commission also has the ability to stop it if there is a problem. There being no others who wished to be heard, Chairman Scurlock closed the Public Hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously adopted Ordinance 88-21, repealing Section 25(r), Mining and Excavation of the Code of Laws and Ordinances; and creating a new Section 25 (r), providing for the changes discussed above. 20 INDIAN RIVER COUNTY ORDINANCE NO. 88 -21 AN ORDINANCE OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, REPEAL- ING SECTION 25(r), MINING AND EXCAVATION, APPENDIX A, ZONING, INDIAN RIVER COUNTY CODE OF LAWS AND ORDI- NANCES; CREATING A NEW SECTION 25(r), EXCAVATION AND MINING; PROVIDING FOR PURPOSE; PROVIDING FOR DEFINI- TIONS; SPECIFYING PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES; PROVIDING FOR PERMIT EXEMPTIONS; PROVIDING WATER MANAGEMENT REGULATIONS FOR EXCAVATED LAKES; PROVIDING MINING PERMIT REGULATIONS; ESTABLISHING CRITERIA FOR HAULING FILL ON PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ROADS; PROVIDING FOR FEES; PROVIDING FOR DURATION AND COMPLETION OF PERMITS; PROVIDING FOR INSPECTION AND REVOCATION OF PERMITS; PROVIDING FOR APPEAL; PROVIDING FOR PENALTIES AND ENFORCEMENT; AMENDING SECTION 25.1(t) OF THE ZONING CODE; AND PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION, SEVERABILITY, AND EFFECTIVE DATE.

The littoral zone slope shall not be steeper than an average slope of one (1) foot vertical to six (6) feet horizontal, and the littoral zone need not be established in a continuous band around the waterbody. Although no minimum slope below the littoral zone is required, the slope below the littoral zone shall be constructed so that natural soil movement will not reduce the littoral zone area. (e) There will be no significant- adverse off-site impact on groundwater quality or groundwater levels. In the event of dewatering associated with excavations (including mining), the applicant shall present evidence that no salt -water intrusion and/or reduction in quality or quantity of well water available to properties within 1/4 mile of the permitted activity will occur. (f) The water management system, i.e., swales and inter- connected wetlands and lakes, must be specifically designed to inhibit siltation and the eutrophication processes.

(2) No mining shall occur within one hundred and fifty (150) feet of a projected right-of-way line of any existing or proposed public road, nor within 150 feet of the outer perimeter of the project site. Where a mining operation consists only of the removal of a mound and does not consist of lowering the elevation of ground below the neighboring property, an exception to the 150 feet setback may be permitted at the time of site plan approval. (3) Any mining activity that results in the creation or expansion of a waterbody shall be subject to the provisions of Section 25(r)(5), water management standards, of this ordinance. Projects creating waterbodies must also provide a safety/security plan for the mining operation phase, including, but not limited to, fences, access, control, and other security methods. (4) If the project site is of a size that falls below Saint Johns River Water Management District permitting thresholds and is located (in whole or part) on the Atlantic Coastal Sand Ridge, no excavation governed by a mining permit shall result in an average elevation of less than twenty-fj_ve (25) feet mean sea level (MSL) for that portion of the project site located on the Sand Ridge. Mining project sites that are large enough to fall within Saint Johns Water Management District (SJRWMD) permitting requirements shall conform to SJRWMD permitting requirements concerning depth of mining and all other applicable SJRWMD permitting requirements. ORDINANCE NO. 88 - (5) If the project site is adjacent to a residential zoned area, the perimeter of the site abutting such an area shall include a 50 foot wide bufferyard and Type "A" screening along said site boundary. (6) No crusher, mixing plant, bin, tank, or structure directly involved in the production process shall be located less than six hundred (600) feet from any adjacent residentially zoned property, and two hundred fifty (250) feet from all other adjacent non -residentially zoned property. (7) Hard rock mining activities shall ensure that measures are taken to control dust. (8) The Indian River County Planning and Zoning Commis- sion shall, upon approval of the mining site plan, order issuance of an operating permit to the owner of the land under his signature, and such permit shall be issued within ten (10) days after the determination of compliance by the commission. (9) Provisions for continuing operation. Nothing herein shall be construed as a requirement that an operator of an existing sand mine shall cease operations until a mining site plan has been approved, provided a mining site plan has been previously approved and maintained. (10) The Planning and Zoning Commission (administrative permit) and the Board of County Commissioners (special exception) shall approve a reasonable timetable for the completion of all mining activ- ities, including restoration. (d) Operating conditions of mining. (1) Applicants operating in the A-1, Agricultural District, where the project does not abut a sin- gle-family residential district, shall not be limited to specific hours of operation unless a determination is made by the Planning and Zoning Commission concerning the need of limiting hours of operation due to the anticipated impact of the mining operation on surrounding properties. Applicants operating in residential zoning dis- tricts shall be permitted to operate between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 5:00. p.m. on weekdays; operation on Saturday and Sunday and/or operation other than 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. may be permitted by the Board of County Commissioners if the impact of the mining operation on surrounding properties will not constitute a nuisance to the neighborhood. (2) The land surface shall be restored to a condition which is in complete compliance with the site plan for reclamation and rehabilitation of the area. Mining shall not be carried on within one hundred and fifty (150) feet of the projected right-of-way line of any existing or proposed public road nor within one hundred and fifty (150) feet of the outer perimeter of the land area.

(4) Annual progress report. The operator holding a valid mining permit shall file, on or before October 1 of each year, a written report with the Community Development Department identifying the lands mined and reclaimed for the preceding calen- dar year and identifying lands expected to be mined and lands planned for reclamation during the current year. The report shall also verify compli- ance with all conditions of other permitting authorities and shall note the expiration dates for all permits. Failure to file the required annual progress report shall be grounds for suspension of the operating permit; however, an extension of time for filing may be granted by the Planning and Zoning Commission upon request and for reasonable cause. (e) Requirement of Bonds. (1) Intent. Compliance and restoration bonds shall be posted to ensure that the site is developed, operated, and restored in conformance with the approved mining site plan. The compliance bond can be assessed as a penalty only to violations of site plan approval that are chargeable to the mining permit holder, and those under his supervision, direction, or control. The restoration bond is to provide fundsto restore the site. (2) Amount. The compliance bond shall be posted in the amount of one -thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per acre of project site with a minimum of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00). The restoration bond shall be posted in the amount of one -thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per acre of excavation with a minimum of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00). (3) Phasing. When one phase of 20 acres or less is completed and in conformance with the submitted site plan for reclamation and rehabilitation, and in conformance with this ordinance, the compliance and restoration bonds may be transferred to the next phase under the approved site plan. More than one phase at a time may be mined concurrently, however, each phase shall be fully bonded, as required by this ordinance. (4) Renewal. Within 30 days preceding bond expiration, a bond renewal or new bond, in a form and amount approved by the Community Development Director and County Attorney, must be on file in the Community Development Department. This process shall be continued through the completion of each mining operation. (5) Forfeiture. Upor, a finding of non-compliance with this ordinance or the approved mining site plan or reclamation site plan; or failure to renew bonds ORDINANCE NO. 88 - within 30 days of expiration, the Community Devel- opment Director shall notify the permit holder in writing of the non-compliance and the pending forfeiture of the compliance and/or restoration bond. This notice shall also include notice of the appeal process. (a) The compliance bond shall be forfeited for violating the conditions of site plan approval including, but not limited to unapproved off-site discharge of water, failure to confine hauling to approved hauling routes, operating in violation of the safety/security plan, excavating within required setbacks, mining of additional phases prior to restora- tion of the previous phase, and activity not consistent with permits issued by other jurisdictional agencies. Upon appeal by the applicant, the Board of County Commissioners may, upon findings of fact, determine that the violation did not occur or was insignificant and may return all or part of the compliance bond. (b) The restoration bond shall be forfeited for violating the conditions of restoration plan approval including, but not limited to mine abandonment prior to restoration, restoration not completed within the approved time frame, restoration not consistent with Water Manage- ment Standards as contained in Section 25(r)(5) of this code, and restoration activi- ty not consistent with permits issued by other jurisdictional agencies. The County shall use the funds to restore the site in conformance with the approved site plan. Any funds remaining after the com- pletion of the work shall be returned to the bond holder.

TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP FROM HOLIDAY VILLAGE WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEM FRANCHISE TO ELLENBURG CAPITAL 32- VERO BEACH The Board reviewed the following memo dated 4/18/88: TO: THRU: TERRANCE G. PINTO DIRECTOR OF UTIL Y T RVICES FROM: CHARLES P. BALCZUN COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR LISA M. ABERNETHY FRANCHISE MANAGER DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES DATE: APRIL 18, 1988 SUBJECT: TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP FROM HOLIDAY VILLAGE WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEM FRANCHISE TO ELLENBURG CAPITAL 32-VERO BEACH BACKGROUND On the 26th day of June, 1985, the Board of County Commissioners granted a water and wastewater franchise to Holiday Village then owned by Adam McGavin. Since that time, Holiday Village has operated satisfactorily and has made corrections when instructed by the Utilities Department. In August, 1987, Mr. McGavin sold Holiday Village Mobile Home Park to Ellenburg Capital Corporation of Aptos, California. Since this time, the Utilities Department has been coordinating with Ellenburg Capital in an effort to finalize the transfer of ownership of the franchise utility. RECOMMENDATION Staff has reviewed the attached items and finds that all requirements are in order. Therefore, staff requests and recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the transfer of ownership by signing the enclosed resolution. Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, he closed the Public Hearing. ► SAY .17 1988 22 BOOK 72 FACE 365 NAY 1? 988 Boy r cE • 6 ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously adopted Resolution 88-35, providing for the transfer of ownership of Holiday Village Water and Wastewater System Franchise to Ell -Cap 32 - Vero Beach.

KIRRIE OF A DENIAL OF A MAJOR SITE PLAN APPLICATION FOR A WAREHOUSE AND SHOP ADDITION Staff Planner It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of May 17, 1988. APPLICATION STATUS: The above referenced major site plan application was denied by the Planning and Zoning Commission at its regular meeting of March 24, 1988, by a vote of 4 - 1 (See attached minutes) Subsequently, the applicant has filed a written appeal of this denial to the Board of County Commissioners. The Board of County Commissioners has the option to uphold the denial by the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion, grant the appeal and grant major site plan approval, or grant the appeal and grant major site plan approval with conditions attached. APPLICATION BACKGROUND: Mosby and Associates, Inc. submitted a major site plan on behalf of C.N. Kirrie. The applicant sought site plan approval to 23 construct a 5600 sq. ft. warehouse and shop addition (to an existing 1500 sq. ft. building) with associated improvements at 12855 79th Avenue in Roseland. The proposal was considered to be an expansion of an existing home occupation use within the ROSE -4 zoning district. Although the special ROSE -4 home occupation regulations were recently repealed, the subject application was accepted for review prior to the ordinance change. Therefore, this application was reviewed under the "old" ROSE -4 home occupa- tion criteria. This plan was originally heard by the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion at its regular meeting of February 11, 1988. At this meet- ing, with the applicant in attendance, action was taken to table the item until a later date in order to allow the applicant and staff to work out several outstanding technical issues. The following is a sequence of events since that meeting. CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS: - February 17, 1988. The applicant personally picked up a copy of staff's action letter which advised him of the Commis- sion's action (see attached letter dated 2/15/88). This letter set out the timeframes which staff established based upon Commission action, so 'that the application could be considered in a timely manner. - February 19, 1988. Staff received a letter from the appli- cant's attorney advising staff that the applicant objected to the timeframes set forth, and requested additional time for revisions (see attached letter dated 2/17/88). - February 23, 1988. Staff contacted applicant's attorney and advised him that the timeframe issue would be brought before the Planning and Zoning Commission in order to verify its true intent of tabling the item. - February 25, 1988. The Planning and Zoning Commission took action to have this matter heard at its regular meeting of March 24, 1988 (see attached minutes from 2/25/88). February 26, 1988. Staff sent action letter to applicant notifying him of the action taken by the Planning and Zoning commission at the February 25, 1988 meeting (see attached letter dated 2/26/88). - March 3, 1988. Staff received a letter from the applicant's attorney concerning several informational aspects of the plan (see attached letter dated 3/3/88). No revised plans submit- ted as of this date. - March 8, 1988. Staff received a letter from the applicant's attorney advising staff that the deadlines imposed upon the applicant were unreasonable (see attached letter dated 3/7/88) . March 10, 1988. Staff responded that this should not have been a problem (see attached letter dated 3/10/88). - March 16, 1988. The only additional information submitted by the applicant or the applicant's attorney was the letter dated 3/3/88 that served to clarify the applicant's in- tentions. Actual plan revisions have never been submitted, and at its regular meeting of March 16, 1988,.the County's Technical Review Committee re -discussed the original plan and the attorney's letter dated March 3, 1988. 24 AY 17 1988 Boor 72 r.P.,[ 367 Mg 17 1983 BOOK 72 F'.1GF 368 - March 24, 1988. The Planning and Zoning Commission took action to deny this application by a vote of 4 to 1 (see attached minutes from the 3/24/88 meeting). - March 25, 1988. The applicant was notified of the action taken by the Planning and Zoning Commission at its meeting of March 24, 1988 and was advised that affected parties have 10 days from the date of the action to appeal the decision to the Board of County Commissioners. - April 8, 1988. Staff received a letter of appeal from the applicant's attorney (see attached letter dated 4/6/88). Following is an analysis of the information reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission. ANALYSIS: 1. Size of Lot: 1.79 acres (includes existing mobile home and warehouse building). 2. Area of Development: 1.28 acres 3. Zoning Classification: ROSE -4 (Roseland Residential Dis- trict) Pursuant to the applicable "old" Section 15(b)(4) of the County zoning ordinance, "the following home occupation uses shall be permitted", within the ROSE -4 district, "after receiving site plan approval and meeting the conditions specified below": a. Metal working and casting; b. Contractor's office and storage of contractor's mate- rials, tools and equipment; c. Lawn mower and small engine sales, service and repair; o han d. Service businesses (provided same not in shall excess nofmfourt (4) one sign advertising th square feet in size. e. Criteria for home occupation uses. A11 homecoccupations. shall be established based on the following 1. The activity is conducted only by members of the family living within the residence; 2. Products are not offered for sale to the general public and from the premises except as herein otherwise provided; 3. Any evidence of the occupation is screened from the street by Type "A" screening; 4. Traffic is not generated in excess of that custo- mary for residential uses; 5. The property has been qualified for (and continues to be qualified) for homestead exemption for ad valorem tax purposes; and 6. All home occupation activities must meet yard setback requirements. In order to receive site plan approval, all of the preceding requirements must be satisfied. The applicant has submitted information concerning these requirements; however, it is 25 staff's opinion that these have not been adequately ad- dressed. Although the applicant agreed verbally during the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting of March 24, 1988 to comply with some of the noted deficiencies, no revised plans have been submitted to reflect these changes. With regards to requirements a,b,c, and d, the applicant has noted on the plans the activities which will take place within the proposed warehouse and shop facilities. More specifically, the uses proposed in the application include "storage, manufacturing, electrical, plumbing, harv, general contracting services, repairs and sales". In staff's opinion the manufacturing, repairs and sales activities are not expressly permitted under 15(b)4 of the zoning code as permitted home occupational uses within the ROSE -4 district. Staff requested that the applicant demonstrate conformance with the requirements of (e)1 (shown above), by providing a statement identifying, by name, all family members living within the residence, and all employees who are currently employed with the business. The applicant has failed to provide this information; therefore, the application has not met this requirement. In addition, staff believes that an additional 5,600 sq. ft. of warehouse and shop area would increase production/storage capacity and enable the applicant to expand the number of employees who work there; therefore, an expansion of this magnitude is not in compliance with the requirements of (e)1. Requirement (e)2 prohibits the sale of products to the general public and from the premises except as otherwise ,provided. Staff requested that the applicant submit a notarized statement that products are not offered for retail sale to the general public and to this date staff has not received any such statement. The applicant's response indicates that retail sales do occur from time to time. Pursuant to State HRS regulations, concerning minimum allowable lot sizes, when an individual lot is to be served by well and septic tanks, any newly created lot must have at least ±} acre of -ea. With this in mind the applicant could expect and would only oe allowed to develop the 1.79 acres into possibly 4 individual parcels. Requirement (e)4 sets forth the criterion that traffic shall not be generated in excess of that customary for residential uses. The County's Traffic Engineer has estimated .that normal residen- tial uses on this site would generate ±29 ADT. Size of Lot - 1.79 acres Allowable density.1 unit/1 acre Possible density - 4 units 7.24 te per unit x 4 units = ±29 ADT ADT = Average Daily Trips te = trip ends A light industrial warehouse use, with ±7,100 sq. ft., would generate ± 50 ADT Existing building = 1,515 sq. ft. Proposed building = 5,600 sq. ft. Total building = 7,115 sq. ft. 7.0 te per 1,000 sq. ft. - ± 50 ADT MAY �.'r 4b6 26 BOOK 72 F'AGE 369 11AY17X98 80DIC 72 irAcr.370'. Even if internal capture rates, for the existing mobile home, were applied, the proposal would still far exceed the re- quirements of (e) 4. It could be expected that, if this facility were built as planned, additional light/heavy truck traffic would be generated beyond what is presently occurring and beyond what would be normally associated with a home occupation in a residential setting. 4. Land Use Designation: MD -1 (Medium Density) 5. Building Area: Existing - 2,642 sq. ft. or 5% of the site New - 5,600 sq. ft. or 10% of the site Total - 8,242 sq. ft. or 15% of the site 6. Proposed Impervious Area: Phase.I - 8,504 sq. ft. or 15% of the site At Build -out - 16,828 sq. ft. or 30% of the site 7. Traffic Circulation: The site will access 128th Court via a two-way drive. Currently, 128th Court is an unpaved public right-of-way. Pursuant to Section 23.3(d)(3)(e)(3)a of the County's site plan ordinance, applicants with projects determined to be small traffic attractors/generators "shall submit funds in the amount of the project's share of petition paving costs prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for all or any portion of the project". To satisfy this requirement, the applicant would have to submit his fair share portion prior to the issuance of a C.O. In the attorney's response letter dated 3/3/88, the appli- cants requested that this "paving/escrow requirement" be waived per Section 23.3 of the zoning code. It is staff's determination that the criteria which must be met in order to grant an exemption have not been met. 8. Required Improvements: Pursuant to ROSE -4 zoning district requirements, the applicant must make provisions to either construct sidewalks along the site's 79th Avenue and 128th Court frontage or escrow money for the same. As of March 16, 1988, staff has not received any response indicating the applicant's intentions concerning this re- quirement. Staff had notified the applicant after the February 11, 1988 meeting that either he escrow monies or construct the required sidewalks. 9. Off -Street Parking Existing & Phase I Required: 8 spaces Phase II & III Required: 7 spaces Total Required: 15 spaces Total Provided: 12 spaces Section 24 of the site plan ordinance specifies the number of paved parking spaces required for various uses. A proposed use such as this one is required to provide 1 paved parking space per 500 sq. ft. of building area. The applicant has stated that approval for all phases of this project is being sought at this time; therefore, with 7,100 sq. ft. of build- ing area the plan must provide a minimum of 15 parking spaces. 27 All of the existing building and Phase I required parking spaces must be paved; the plan currently only shows 5 spaces as being paved. Overall the plan is short 3 parking spaces and it is staff's opinion that these parking spaces should be provided specifically for the warehouse use in accordance with Section 24 of the zoning code. 10. Stormwater Management: The Stormwater Management plan has been approved by the Public Works Department, and a Type "A" stormwater permit can be issued. 11. Landscape Plan: The landscape plan is in conformance with Ordinance #84-47. The plan depicts Type "A" screening in accordance with the requirements of the ROSE -4 district regulations. 12. Utilities: The site currently utilizes on-site water and septic systems. In the letter dated 3/3/88 by the applicant's attorney, there is a statement that a new septic system is no longer proposed, and that restroom facilities will continue to be provided through the use of the existing mobile home. In this case then a note would have to be placed on the plan indicating that facilities .in the mobile home are open to public use. 13. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: Vacant/ROSE-4, Roseland Residential District South: Vacant/ROSE-4, Roseland Residential District East: Residences/ROSE-4, Roseland Residential District West: Vacant/ROSE-4, Roseland Residential District SUMMARY OF PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ACTION: Staff presented the following six (6) reasons, along with staff's mmendation for denial of this application, to the Planning and _fig Commission at its regular meeting of March 24, 1988. At meeting the Commission voted 4-1 to deny this application for the reasons outlined below and for reasons stated by individual Commission members in the official minutes of that meeting. The six (6) reasons presented by staff were: 1. The applicant is proposing uses that are not permitted within the ROSE -4 zoning district [section 15(b)(4)a-d]; 2. The applicant has failed to provide a statement that iden- tifies, by name, all family members living within the resi- dence, and all employees who are currently employed with the use. As proposed, the expansion would provide capacity to accommodate additional employees. Thus, the applicant's proposal does not meet the no non -family (resident) employee requirement [Section 15(b)(4)e.1]; 3. The applicant has failed to "size" the proposed use in such a manner that satisfies the trip generation criterion [Section 15(b)(4)e.4], both in terms of total trips and type of traffic. 4. The applicant has failed to provide for adequate parking [Section 24]; Y r( i988 28 BOOK 7.2 FACE .) 71 MAY 17 1988 BOOK 72 F tGE 372 5. The applicant has failed to provide sidewalks or agree to escrow for same as per Section 15(k)2 of the zoning code; and 6. The applicant has not agreed to meet the requirements of Section 23.3(d) (3) (e) (3) of the zoning code concerning paved road requirements. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the analysis performed, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners deny this appeal and uphold the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Chairman Scurlock asked if the Board is considering today only the facts as presented to the Planning & Zoning Commission, and Mr. Boling said that was so, with one addition. Yesterday the applicant came in with revised site plans and a letter that is basically in response to our Agenda item. Attorney Vitunac advised that our Code rules are not clear on this; however, by custom and history, we limit it to the same facts as presented to the Planning & Zoning Commission. If, however, there is going to be an entirely new hearing today with new facts that the Planning & Zoning Commission has not seen, then the P & Z was not given an opportunity to do what it is supposed to do. The pulse of this case, as it narrows, is that this is really a new trial on this issue, and if there is something dramatic that was not considered by the P & Z, who should have had a chance to give an opinion, then the Board could not consider it here. Otherwise, the applicant and his attorney can reintroduce the same evidence, make their arguments again, and get another shot at having their site plan approved. Planner Boling advised that the applicant submitted a revised site plan yesterday that addresses all 6 areas of concern, and Chairman Scurlock felt then that if it is a new site plan, it should go back to the P & Z for a new hearing. Commissioner Eggert understood that the suggestion is being made for possible consideration of something different than what the P & Z Commission saw, and Director Keating stated that it was not different. 29 Attorney Michael O'Haire, representing the applicant, wished to clear up this procedural item for the record. He stated that there is nothing new or different in the site plan before the Board this morning than what was presented to the P & Z Commission. However, staff takes the position that no matter what kind of record the applicant built, everything has to be shown on the drawing. As Mr. Kirrie's attorney, he wrote letters stating that the applicant will do this, that, or the other thing, but staff does not consider the record sufficient. Attorney O'Haire emphasized that particular requirement is not set out in the code of ordinances. Therefore, to satisfy and respond to the Agenda item prepared by staff, they put all this garbage on the plan. There is nothing that has not been told to the P & Z or addressed in a letter from himself to staff. Attorney Vitunac asked Mr. Boling if that was the case, and Mr. Boling stated that, in his opinion, there is no problem in considering this an appeal of the same site plan that went before the P & Z Commission on March 24, 1988. Continuing with staff's recommendation, Mr. Boling advised that a video tape of the site area is available if at any time during the discussion, the Board wished to view it. Mr. Kirrie's residence on site is an 1152 S.F.(square foot) mobile home. Behind it is a 2642 S.F. manufacturing/warehouse building. The proposed site plan would have a 5600 S.F. addition done in phases to bring the manufacturing/warehouse building to a total of approximately 8200 S.F. in relation to the 1152 S.F. mobile home residence. Mr. Boling emphasized that the application does not meet the ordinance, and the ordinance we are talking about is the "old ordinance" 87-22, even after consideration of the site plan revisions addressed in Attorney O'Haire's letter of yesterday. He next reviewed the Summary of P & Z Commission Action shown on pages 5 and 6 of staff's memo of recommendation and addressed the 6 items of concern: 1) The applicant's response to our concerns MAY 17198 30 BOOK 72 r'., r 373 MAY 17 1988 BOOK 72 I G[374 about the specific uses was to delete any reference to uses whatsoever on the site plan. Therefore, the provided site plan does not specify any uses for the site at this time. 2) This item deals with trip generation. The criteria that applies in the ordinance says that traffic shall not be generated in excess of that customary for residential uses. Basically, you. look at the site and how it can be developed residentially, and you consider the number of trips and the type of trips and compare those to what would be the number of trips and type of traffic for the proposed use. Staff disagrees with the trip generation calculations by the applicant, and that is that the entire site can be developed with 4 single family lots, either with mobile homes or single family houses, yielding approximately 29 average daily trips. With the manufacturing/warehouse building, there would be 50 trips per day plus trips for the existing mobile home at build -out of 57 trips per day. Therefore, the volume of trips would exceed what would normally be there if it were residentially developed, as well as the type of trips, which would be mainly the trucks that service that use. Commissioner Eggert noted that the 1/2 acre lot restriction is because of the Health Department, and Mr. Boling explained that there is also the assumption that at no time in the foreseeable future would there be water and sewer service available at that site. 3) The applicant failed to size the proposed use in the manner that satisfies the employee situation. One of the criteria in the ordinances is that "activities conducted be by members of the family living within the residence." The Kirries have told us that there are 4 people living in the residence, who presently are employed in the existing 2600 S.F. facility. The applicant 31 did not give us any information as to whether there were any employees outside of the family that work there at present. However, if you use the ITE Trip Generation Manual, which gives 1.84 employees per 1000 square feet of manufacturing facilities, that is right in line with what they have now -- 4 employees for 2600 S.F. If you expanded that to a total of 8200 S.F., you would have approximately 15 employees. Obviously, in order to have that many employees, they would have to use employees outside the residence and not family members, which would violate the criteria in the ordinance. If you were to use the warehousing standards in the ITE Trip Generation Manual, you still would need approximately 11 employees for an 8200 S.F. facility. Using those figures, they would be in violation of that criteria by having to use employees that do not live in the residence. 4), 5), and 6) Mr. Boling pointed out that the last 3 items of concern regarding adequate parking, sidewalks, and paving have been addressed in writing and agreed to. Basically, you are looking at a facility which is of such a scale that the trip generation and requirements cannot be met. The family residence employee requirement cannot be met, and the uses are still not specified on the site plan. For those reasons, staff is recommending denial of the appeal. Commissioner Wheeler understood that the original ROSE -4 ordinance (87-22) stated that only family members could work there and that non -family employees would have to be let go. Mr. Boling felt it was staff's interpretation at the time the original ordinance was adopted that if there were non -family employees, those positions would be grandfathered in, but Chairman Scurlock understood that if you expanded the use, you could not expand and hire additional non -family employees, and MAY 1? 1988 32 BOOK 72 PAH 3 5 L_ 1 NAY 17 1988 BOOK CAGE. 3�76 1 f�U that once any non -family employees were terminated, laid off, or retired, they could not be replaced. Mr. Boling felt it was the Board's intention to grandfather in the positions, not the persons, and the Board indicated their agreement. Attorney O'Haire stressed that Mr. Kirrie has been operating a manufacturing business adjacent to his home in that area for almost 20 years. He manufacturers fishing weights and sinkers out of lead, and was instrumental in drafting the ROSE -4 ordinance because he didn't want any question to exist about the legality of what he has been doing for 20 years at his home. He works where he lives and his family works where he lives. He wanted to be able to expand his business for his children and for his own future. Mr. Kirrie participated in the ROSE -4 ordinance (87-22) to accommodate the uses he had in place. When that ordinance expanded the home occupation uses, it was specifically addressed to Mr. Kirrie's operation, metal casting. He applied for site plan approval and when he appeared before this Board and asked that ROSE -4 expand its occupation permit uses, he pleaded with the Board to make him legal. That is all he wanted to do. He applied for site plan approval under the ordinance that had been adopted to make him legal. He did everything he was required to do; however, since the time he made his application, the original ROSE -4 ordinance (87-22) has been rescinded. Attorney O'Haire noted that several of Mr. Kirrie's immediate neighbors are in attendance today and have no objection to his expansion. There is nothing shown on the site plan that was not presented to the P & Z Commission. Staff said that metal casting is not a permitted use, so we put on the site plan the uses permitted by Ordinance 87-22. Addressing the remaining items from the P & Z hearing, Attorney O'Haire stated that Mr. Kirrie does not propose to do anything that was not put into the old ROSE -4 ordinance, which is 33 unique in that it requires employees to be family members. Therefore, when you say that the project is not sized to comply with the ordinance, you just are twisting the whole ordinance around. He cannot employ anybody who is not a family member. The Manual may say that a warehouse of the size he proposes requires 11 employees, but that is not what the ordinance permits. You cannot deny this site plan on the basis of that fact that Mr. Kirrie is expanding his operation and must have more employees. That is not so. It doesn't necessarily follow, and he is not permitted to do it by the ordinance. Attorney O'Haire next addressed the matter of traffic generation. Traditionally, traffic generation has been figured in terms of permitted density under the Zoning Code. The ROSE -4 District permits 4 units per acre, not 2 units per acre, as the Health Department requires for septic reasons. He pointed out that it is conceivable that Mr. Kirrie could put a package plant in up there. Attorney O'Haire concluded his arguments by urging the Board to do for Mr. Kirrie what they do for everybody else. advised that James Terpening, a state licensed traffic engineer from the firm of Culpepper & Terpening, will explain how a traffic engineer figures traffic generation as the ordinance requires, by comparing residential to the proposed use. Mr. Terpening advised that having reviewed staff's calculations and methodologies using ITE, but when comparing trips generations that would be generated •by residential use to that of the ROSE -4 district, there are 2 things that they feel are important for the Board to consider: 1) The definition and the terminology of the residential traffic generations rates, and that being based on the allowable density of the project area. He felt that trip rates of 7.24 trips in per residentialunit is a realistic number. Using that figure, and not knowing when a residential development would occur, providing that other infrastructures are provided, would yield MAY 17 1S66 34 noK 7-2 11 Pr - MAY 17 198 BOOK 72 FACE 378 approximately 66 trips based on the 7.26 acres of the project size. 2) The other issue is the capture rate that exists in the ROSE -4 District in that it is a unique district with regard to family member employees and you reduce the number of trips out of the site for the commercial uses. ITE states that 3.89 trips in per employee are generated. If you take those trips times the 4 employees that currently are employed in this business, it would yield 16 trips. They concur with staff's calculations that 50 trips would be generated by the proposed additions and the existing structures, but if you net out the 16 trips that would be captured internally, that would yield approximately 34 trips associated with this project. Therefore, you would have approximately 16 trips that would be generated by the residential use that are in the 34 trips for commercial activities. Commissioner Eggert pointed out that although we are not allowing them to have outside employees, we are saying that they are going to make these trips to get there. She realized, though, that there are other factors. Chairman Scurlock assumed that with the expanded manufacturing use, there would be an increase of trips involving the raw materials being brought to the site and the products being taken off site for sale, and Mr. Terpening explained that is why the trip rates went up to 50, but 16 trips are captured on site. Chairman Scurlock asked if there is any requirement that the family members have to live on site, and Mr. Terpening believed there is. Director Keating felt that would mean that they would have to live there forever, and staff's interpretation has been that the children could move off site at some point in the future without them being in violation of the ordinance. 35 Planner Boling explained that although the capture rate is deducted, you have to remember that there is an existing residential unit on site, and youstill have to factor in the 7 trips per day for the residential unit. Staff disagrees with the residential development potential of the entire site. The 1.97 acre site is the area of development that this application corresponds to and where 4 single Tots could be developed. He pointed out that the original site plan had reference to sales, and the criteria of the ordinance prohibits sales activities to the general public on site. Staff wanted that point 'covered as well. Chairman Scurlock asked what the applicant would have to do to properly size the proposed uses with regard to trip generation, and Mr. Boling explained that Mr. Kirrie would have to get the size of the operation down to where the total trips of the site for the proposed use would be Tess than the total trips for the site if it were developed into single family lots. Commissioner Eggert asked what would happen if Mr. Kirrie wouldn't be allowed to do Phase 3, and Mr. Boling stated that he would have to do whatever he could do to reach the 29 trips that oe can have. Chairman Scurlock felt that he was hearing that there could be an expansion, but it would have to be with a lesser number of trips, specifically 29. Commissioner E99ert asked if 2900 S.F. of building covers that, and Mr. Boling explained that there are 7 trips for the existing residential unit, so you have 22 average daily trips to work with for the total amount of manufacturing facility they could have there. Chairman Scurlock understood than that Mr. Kirrie could expand. by 200 feet, but he is requesting to expand to 5000 feet. Attorney O'Haire emphasized that there is no disagreement about the proposed expansion, and the trips it would generate, 36 MAY 111988 BOOK t 2 'g F 379 MAY 1'11988 mcr 7 except for the fact that staff has not taken into account the fact that the 4 employees have to be family members and do not drive to and from work. They go out the door, cross the yard and go to work. Chairman Scurlock pointed out that they don't have to, they could move off site eventually and drive to and from work. Attorney O'Haire stated that the ordinance requires them to live on the site, but Chairman Scurlock interjected that was not what he understood Director Keating to have said. He felt it is a policy thing and that staff is assuming that the children will grow up and move off. However, the ordinance says that they must live on site. Attorney O'Haire would assume then that you have to take out 16 trips and staff has not done that. Director Keating stressed that this points out one of the difficult aspects of enforcing this type of ordinance, which we have had problems with from the beginning. Chairman Scurlock pointed out that whenever we try to be flexible, we run into problems, and Director Keating reiterated that staff's interpretation has been that when a use is approved or is grandfathered in, if that use has an "x" number of family member employees which meet the criteria of living on site, subsequent moving of those family members off site would not put them in violation of the ordinance. That just seems rational. Attorney Vitunac asked Director Keating where in the ordinance he found that they are allowed to have any non -family employees, whether they are grandfathered or not, and Commissioners Bowman and Eggert pointed out that was discussed at the time we passed Ordinance 87-22. Attorney Vitunac stated that the ordinance says that to be a valid home occupational use, you must have only family members as employees. Commissioner Eggert recalled that the Board sat here in that meeting and said, "Grandfather them in and make them legal." 37 Director Keating advised that Planning looked at the criteria as being applicable to any expansion of the existing activity, which means that any new uses and any additional square footage would have to comply with this. Chairman Scurlock understood that Planning would allow an expansion, but not one of this magnitude, and Director Keating said that was correct from a total quantity trip standpoint, but it comes back to the interpretation of the ordinance. When it says that traffic is not generated in excess of that customary for residential uses, you have to determine whether semi -truck traffic is customary for residential uses. So you are looking at both quantity and quality. Commissioner Eggert found herself terribly torn between what actually is written on paper and the ethics of it. Attorney O'Haire argued that Mr. Kirrie has not tried to fool anybody, he has been right up front and told everybody what he does and what he proposes to do. He is not trying to get something for nothing. Attorney O'Haire felt the point has to be made that it is not staff's position to be adversarials or advocates in this case. You just cannot take away from the fact that employees are family members and live where they work. If staff had taken that into account, they would have come up with 34 trips by reason of expansion. You have got to get back to the numbers, and the numbers say that the ROSE -4 District permits 4 units per acre. You don't pick a Health Department number to use in calculating trips; you take the number the Zoning Ordinance permits, and you get 7 trips per day, not 1 unit per half acre. Commissioner Eggert pointed out that this is not something new, they have been doing that, but Attorney O'Haire felt that depends on the project. Different methods are used for different purposes. There is not that much consistency. Chairman Scurlock felt the solution is to cut down the size of the expansion, and Attorney O'Haire advised that Mr. Kirrie AY 1'"« 3 38 BOOK 72 Au -381 MAY 17 1988 BOOK. , G 3Sp wants to be legal and would abandon Phase III and content himself with Phases 1 and 11, if he were just allowed to go on. Commissioner Eggert asked how much he would have without Phase 111, and Attorney O'Haire advised that Phase 1 is 3200 sq. ft., which was the old Phase I and 11. Chairman Scurlock felt that is what it should be, and Commissioner Eggert agreed with that. Attorney O'Haire concluded by stating that they have addressed the 3 points that have remained unresolved. Chairman Scurlock asked if anyone wished to present any further information. Mrs. Lena Marshall, resident of Roseland, stated that they all agree that Mr. Kirrie's site plan and appeal is preposterous, especially since Ordinance 87-22 has been repealed and he has been grandfathered in. She felt we need to really look at the situation up there now as a residential area and start trying to do some code enforcement. As far as traffic is concerned, she felt Attorney O'Haire has painted a rosy picture, but emphasized that promises don't mean a thing once the paper work is done, unless it is enforced. With all the trucks and heavy equipment, she believed that at least 60 vehicles pass her house every day, and they fear that the expansion would increase those numbers. Mrs. Marshall felt the real issue before the Board today is the appeal, not a modified expansion. The Roseland Property Owners Association sees a promising future for the ROSE -4 District and would like to go forward on other projects, such as setting up a crime watch and getting a park in the middle of ROSE -4 District, confident in the knowledge that they will not have the manufacturing project of the magnitude being proposed right in the middle of an upcoming residential neighborhood. Commissioner Eggert asked for clarification on which ordinance Mr. Kirrie presented his application for expansion, and Attorney Vitunac advised that Mr. Kirrie applied under Ordinance 87-22, which was repealed before he had received any 39 developmental permit or approval from the County. In his opinion, Mr. Kirrie was not grandfathered in and should have had to come in under the new ordinance, but staff has been very lenient with him all along and are giving him the benefits of that old ordinance for the site plan application which he had made while it was still valid. Attorney O'Haire disagrees about whether or not Mr. Kirrie is legally grandfathered, but that point is not necessary to make, because staff has let him apply under the old ordinance. Pat Dolcey of Roseland was a little confused about all this, because she recalled that when the Board decided to rescind the old ordinance during a public hearing last fall in Sebastian, she had been under the impression that some of the businesses that had held licenses previously would be grandfathered in and allowed to continue. However, she also remembered that staff had said that if any buildings suffered damages of 50% or more from fire or storms, they would not be allowed to rebuild. She did understand how the Board can consider the expansion of this business. Commissioner Eggert explained that Mr. Kirrie's application falls under the old ordinance that was in effect temporarily, but Mrs. Dolcey emphasized that she was under the impression that ROSE -4 was supposed to be a residential community, not an industrial community. Chairman Scurlock explained that ROSE -4 is a predominantly residential area, but there was a significant outpouring from a number of the residents that had concern about Mr. Kirrie and businesses that had been in operation there for over 20 years. In all fairness that did occur, and there was always an effort to allow those people who were engaged in a home occupational use to continue. From what he has heard from the Commission this morning, he believed the Board is interested in allowing Mr. Kirrie to exist and is considering a smaller expansion than the one requested. MAY 1'? 1999 40 ;r,r 383 MY 17198 BOOK F'�c X84 Mrs. Dolcey felt that would set a precedent, but Commissioner Eggert pointed out that Mr. Kirrie is the only one that could be considered for an expansion, because no one else had filed under the old ordinance. Mrs. Dolcey emphasized that ROSE -4 is a part of Roseland, and pointed out that everyone has been working very hard to keep it as residential. Commissioner Bird emphasized that the Board does see the ROSE -4 area as predominantly residential and want to see it continue residential, but there are couple of situations that we have to deal with that have been there for many, many years, and Mr. Kirrie's case is one of them. We are trying to deal with his case and allow him to continue his business and support his family out of that operation. Commissioner Bird was confident that the area is definitely going to be residential in character as it continues to develop. There being no others who wished to be heard, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner Bird had visited the site and felt one of the areas of concern is the unsightly situation due to a lot of outside storage. He believed that if a reasonable expansion is allowed, the Code Enforcement people will see that Mr. Kirrie gets a lot of that inside and under cover. He noted that Mr. Kirrie had told him that is basically the reason for the expansion. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, that the Board approve Mr. Kirrie's site plan, but limit the expansion to a maximum of 3200 square feet (designated as Phase 1 and II on the site plan seen by P & Z), and once the expansion is completed, encourage Mr. Kirrie to do everything he can to enhance the appearance of the site for the benefit of his residential neighbors. 41 Under discussion, Commissioner Eggert asked if the Motion could include that no outside storage be allowed, but Mr. Kirrie had a problem with that because large equipment, such as trucks, would take up all of the warehouse if it was moved inside. Commissioner Bird believed we must have some sort of a zoning ordinance that applies to outside storage and what is permissible and what is not, and Director Keating confirmed that we do. Commissioner Bird stated that he would insist that it be enforced. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion was voted on and carried unanimously. Director Keating asked for clarification on family members living within the residence, and asked if it is a requirement that family members retain their residence on site. 2ommissioner Wheeler did not feel it would make a difference now, and Commissioners Eggert and Scurlock stated that the ordinance says that they have to live on site. Commissioner Wheeler pointed out that after Mr. Kirrie completes his expansion, Ordinance 87-22 is gone forever, and he will be grandfathered into the current ordinance, but Director Keating interjected that he will be grandfathered into the new ordinance with the conditions of the old ordinance (87-22). Attorney Vitunac confirmed that Mr. Kirrie will have to live under the conditions of the old ordinance forever. With several people speaking at once, Commissioner Eggert stated that she felt it was with whatever he had at the time we passed the old ordinance (87-22), because she knew she sat here and asked for those things to be grandfathered the way they were. Chairman Scurlock stated that family members have to live on site. 42 SAY BOO i-nE3 Director Keating understood then that family members have to live on site, and the members of the Board indicated their concurrence. TEMPORARY EMPLOYEE - PURCHASING DIVISION The Board reviewed the following memo dated 5/9/88: TO CHARLES P. BALCZUN COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR SUBJECT : TEMPORARY EMPLOYEE/PURCHASING DIVISION DATE : MAY 9, 1988 We have been notified by the Purchasing Division that purchasing specialist Duane Swan will be on vacation for the period June 13, 1988 to June 24, 1988, inclusive. The Purchasing Manager has requested that a temporary employee be secured for the period of Mr. Swan's absence. Due to the nature of the function, Mr. Ambler has requested that the period of temporary employment commence one week prior to Mr. Swan's departure for vacation. It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners b petitioned to allow the hiring of a temporary employee for the Purchasing Division. The maximum period authorized for the temporary would be for three weeks. The period of temporary assignment would not last beyond June 24, 1988. Funds to pay the temporary person are available in the MEMONSOOft personal services budget category through salary savings. m A. Ellankenship, J.AEP Director of Personnel Chairman Scurlock had a problem with hiring a temporary employee for 3 weeks to fill in for an employee who is going to be out for only 2 weeks. He felt the temporary employee situation is getting out of hand. Purchasing Manager Gus Ambler explained that he would like to secure a stock clerk who can pull inventory, stock the warehouse, and make deliveries. As far as the actual paperwork is concerned, he would be doing that himself and probably would 43 MAY 1 7 1988 BOOK.79 rASE MAY 17 1983 BOOK 72 PACE 387 be putting in a lot of extra hours, but he did not have any problems with that. Chairman asked why we could not get someone from Building & Grounds to deliver supplies for those 2 weeks, and Mr. Ambler emphasized that when he loses one-third of his labor force, he has a real problem in trying to keep up with the workload. He assumed that it was the same for any other department head if they lost a proportional size of their work force. Administrator Balczun suggested that the Board authorize staff's recommendation in the event we cannot find somebody else on staff. Commissioner Eggert suggested that we just tread water for 2 weeks, and Commissioner Wheeler felt it would not hurt anything if we did. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that the Board authorize staff to fill the position within the existing staff, and if that cannot be done, authorize the Administrator, at his discretion, to go to outside temporary help for 2 weeks. Brief discussion ensued. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion failed by a vote of 2-3, Commissioners Scurlock, Eggert and Wheeler dissenting. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board by a vote of 3-2, Commissioners Bird and Bowman dissenting, directed staff to either find someone in the building to help out in Purchasing or tread water for 2 weeks. 44 STATE LIBRARY GRANTS for FY 88/89 The Board reviewed the following memo dated 5/10/88: TO: Mr. Charles Balzun County Administrator DATE: May 10, 1988 FILE: SUBJECT: State Grants for FY 88/89 Contracts FROM: Mary D. Kise REFERENCES: IRC Library Dir ctor DESCRIPTION OF CONDITIONS State grant money will be received for FY 88/89 for these projects: Youth --20,000.00; Elderly --14,500.00; Literacy --6,000. Two copies of the contracts for each of these grants are enclosed. They require Chairman Scurlock's signature on each. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that these contracts be placed on the agenda and signed by Chairman Scurlock. When signed, please return to me. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved the contracts for each of the grants as set out in the above memo, and authorized the Chairman's signature, as recommended by staff.

BALCZUN DATE: MAY 10, 1988 COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR THRU: TERRANCE G. PINTO ., DIRECTOR OF UTIL 'Y 2'VICES FROM: JOHN FREDERICK LANG ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIAISIST DEPARTMENT OF UTILIT SERVICES SUBJECT: RIVER'S EDGE SUBDIVISION WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM LIFT STATION BACKGROUND River's Edge Subdivision was de -annexed from the City of Sebastian in order that the Indian River County Utilities Department could take over the utilities system there. The existing system has not been maintained and spare parts are not only expensive but difficult to obtain. The pumping system is an above ground duplex which is both noisy and unattractive. The control panel does not meet Indian River County Utilities' Specifications and is heavily weathered. Piping for the lift system has been extensively patched due to deteriorating PVC pipes. ANALYSIS The lift station has been a maintenance problem since acceptance of the system. The subdivision being at the far end of the County magnifies system failure problems. The entire lift station does not meet our own specifications and all appurtenances are non-standard to our system. The control panel does not have a double entry door and is continually a safety consideration from an electrical standpoint. The entire system is worn out and, with authorization from the Board, the Department will replace everything, not including the concrete manhole. The cost to upgrade the lift station with new pumps, guide rails, access covers, float system, lifting bails, cables, and control panel is estimated at $14,566.00. The labor and materials would be furnished by our ABS pump supplier, D. Q. Whitehair and Associates. RECOMMENDATION The Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the expenditure of funds not to exceed $16,000 to upgrade the River's Edge Subdivision lift station before a major system failure forces us to do so. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously authorized the expenditure of funds not to exceed $16,000 to upgrade the River's Edge Subdivision Lift station, as recommended by staff. RIVER'S EDGE SUBDIVISION -WATER SYSTEM The Board reviewed thefollowingmemo dated 5/3/88: 46 TO: CHARLES P. BALCZUN DATE: MAY 3, 1988 COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR THRU: TERRANCE G. PINTO DIRECTOR OF UTILITY I VICES FROM: JOHN F. LAN ENVIRONMENTA fPECCIALIST DEPARTMENT OFITY SERVICES SUBJECT: RIVER'S EDGE SUBDIVISION - WATER SYSTEM BACKGROUND River's Edge Subdivision was de -annexed from the City' of Sebastian in order that Indian River County Utilities could take over the Subdivision's utility. The existing system will not meet Department of Environmental Regulation or Environmental Protection Agency drinking water standards. The Department of Utility Services contracted laboratory consultants and engineering consultants, Envirometrics and Camp, Dresser & McKee, Inc. respectively, working in tandem, -who have determined that •a new well and treatment methodology is necessary. The new well is to be an artesian well and the treatment plant is to be a reverse osmosis facility. In order to fast-trac- - '- project, the Department has developed construction specification the well and has awarded the construction contract for the well. The Department proposes to demolish the old Vista Gardens water Treatment Plant and to erect same at River's Edge. In lieu of monetary compensation, the contractor, Allen Environmental, will receive the .5 MGD John's Island Wastewater Treatment Plant intact, 18 concrete wastewater treatment plant structures from the Gifford plant site with associated used blowers and equipment currently being stored at the Ixora work area, and the unused remnants of the Vista Gardens Water Treatment Plant's electrical controls. ANALYSIS The Department of Utility Services, upon authorization, will trade many unwanted surplus items for work that is necessary at River's Edge. The River's Edge Utilities improvements are.unbudgeted items and the trade will consist of erection of a 100,000 gallon ground storage tank and a 10,000 gallon hydropnuematic tank, including placement of both items into service at no cost to the Department. The Department will not incur any costs to demolish the Vista Gardens Water Treatment Plant, clear the Gifford site for the new sludge and septage facility, or to help clean up the Ixora storage facilities which are limited, from surplus equipment that is not standard to our facilities. RECOMMENDATION The Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board authorize the in-kind trade of services. These are to include demolition of the Vista Gardens Water Treatment Plant and the erection of same at River's Edge, in exchange for surplus items to include the John's Island .5 MGD Wastewater Treatment Plant and concrete wastewater treatment plant cells, two blowers, miscellaneous piping associated with the cells, and electrical panels associated with the Vista Gardens Water Treatment Plant. 47 MAY 17 I 88 BOOK � � �.1 E • :�� Boa 72 li-ArA% ,MAY 17 1938 ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously authorized the in-kind trade of services as set out in the above staff recommendation.

The developer has. agreed to oversize the off-site force main and lift station on this property in return for a reimbursement of costs incurred. A lift station and off-site force main are necessary for Tamara Gardens to be developed as per the planned residential development plan. ANALYSIS The Utilities Department can bring about an orderly extension to the County's sewer service system via the acceptance of new developments' utility improvements. Sizing to meet subregional needs is especially cost effective for the Department because engineering, permitting, and inspection costs are shared by the Developer. RECOMMENDATION The Department of Utility Services recommends execution of the . attached Developer's Agreement for sewer construction. 48 ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously approved the Developer's Agreement for sewer construction at Tamara Gardens, and authorized the Chairman's signature, as recommended by staff. 49 MAY 111988 UGE.

LETTER: Steven Archbold to James Davis dated Mar. 21, 1988 DATE: May 9, 1988, DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS A1coHope is requesting one or two truck loads of limerock to improve their driveway. The approximate cost of the rock is $80 to $160. The driveway connects to 37th Street, three blocks west of Kings Highway. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The alternatives are as follows: Alternative No. 1 - Deny the request due to the substantia; needs that the county road system has existing. Alternative No. 2 - Approve the request and absorb the cost in the Road and Bridge Division budget. Alternative No. 3 - Contribute labor and equipment to improve the driveways, but charge direct cost for all materials used. RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Alternative No. 3 is recommended if the Board wishes to grant this request. The Road and Bridge Division has been recently understaffed and has many projects programmed for the next five months. Administrator Balczun realized that they only need a couple of loads of fill, but, professionally, he felt he has to recommend that the Board deny the request because he did not feel the County should be in the business of providing materials or services to outside groups. However, he would fully understand when the Board unanimously approved this request. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously approved the request for 2 loads of rock fill. 51 ■k ®Y 1 "t' W� 11 p /��1( Fes!{y [ � r®�I ! 1 � UoUi�. ® �i (r� jF MAY 1d191' EMERGENCY TRAFFIC SIGNAL SERVICE 72 e I -95 a The Board reviewed the following memo dated 4/27/88: --------------------------------------------------------- TO: Charles P. Balczun County Administrator THROUGH: James W. Davis, P.E. 21ph b 'c Works.Airecto FROM: N. Brescia, P.E. County Engineer SUBJECT: Emergency traffic signal service DATE: April 27, 1988 DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONS At the present time all traffic signal maintenance and emergency services are being handled by two traffic signal technicians in the Traffic Engineering Division. These men work a normal 40 hour week but are on call for emergency response. In the event of the unavailability of these employees or as a result of an overwhelming set of circumstances whereby multiple emergencies can not be responded to properly, the County could be placed in a liability situation and the public could be inconvenienced. RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING In order to remedy this condition and provide a fail safe situation for emergencies of this nature, it is recommended that the county enter into an agreement with Signal Construction Co., Inc. of Jupiter, FL to provide this service. It should be noted that there will be no cost to the County for the agreement itself. Any costs which will incur will be only as a result of a decision by the Public Works Director or his designated representative to call for service. These costs will be in accordance with the attached schedule. Signal Construction Co., Inc. provides this "on call" service to other counties and has been used exclusively for traffic signal installations throughout Indian River County. They are properly insured for this type of service. Since no other firm within this region provides this service it is recommended that the Board consider this proposal. Funding will come from Traffic Engineering Account #111-245-541-034.67. Public Works Director Jim Davis advised that a County employee has been doing an excellent job on this type of work, but there will come a time when he is out sick or on vacation, and we.don't have the depth in our staff to compensate for him. In addition, we do not have the equipment to put in a concrete pole in the event one is knocked down. 52 Commissioner Eggert asked if the prices are -in line, and Director Davis stated that the prices are competitive. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously authorized an agreement with Signal Construction Company, Inca of Jupiter, Florida, to provide emergency traffic signal service, as set out in the above staff recommendation.

PURCHASE OF CARPETING FOR UTILITIES DEPARTMENT TO: CHARLES P. BALCZUN COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR THRU: JOSEPH A. BAIR DIRECTOR OF OM FROM: TERRANCE G. PINT DIRECTOR OF UTILW�CES SUBJECT: CARPETING FOR RENOVATING UTILITIES DEPARTMENT AREA BACKGROUND When the renovation work went out for bid, Creative Floors of Vero Beach bid an installed price on Arena II carpet in the amount of $6,800.00. This bid exceeds the original estimate of $4,776.00. Since the bid came in, several other considerations must be addressed: 1) Comparison of carpet quality and durability due to the high volume of traffic experienced by our Department. 2) Volume of floor preparation required to firmly secure the new carpet. A discussion with Lynn Williams and Jim Wright produced the following recommendations: 1) Upgrade the original quality of carpet. 2) Establish a new cost for the floor preparation due to the discovery of various floor textures previously hidden under old carpet. Analysis Evans Carpet has negotiated with Jim Wright for the floor preparation of utility area with a net change of $2,024.00. Funding will come from account 471-000-162-003.00. This will increase the original contract price of $64,620.00 to $66,644.00. This will be considered change order number 1. Recommendation At this time the Utility Department asks that the Board of County Commissioners approve this change to the original contract, so our renovation work can continue without delay. 54 Administrator Balczun had a sample of a replacement carpeting, which seems to have better quality than the grade of carpeting approved earlier. He recommended that the Board approve the purchase of the higher grade of carpeting. Commissioner Bowman asked if is a commercial grade, and Administrator Balczun believed it was. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that the Board authorize the purchase of the next higher grade of carpeting. Under discussion, Commissioner Eggert pointed out that this approval is not a blank check, and wanted staff to double check to see if this, indeed, is a commercial grade carpeting.

Balczun County Administrator FROM: Joseph A. Baird OMB Director DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS The copier at the Vero Beach Library is broken and has create-, operational problems there. It is estimated that it will or, $2,499.00 if the old copier is traded in. ALTERNATIVE AND ANALYSIS Mary Riser, Vero Beach Library Director, has $500.00 remaining in her capital account which she could utilize towards the purchase of a new copier. In addition, she would like to transfer $1,999.00 from "Other Salaries and Wages" to be able to accommodate the purchase of a new copier. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners: 1. Declare the old copier surplus 2. Authorize the budget amendment transferring money from "Capital" and "Other Salaries and Wages." 3. Approve the purchase of a copier for the Vero Beach Library. 5i NJ AY 17 1988 BOOK 72 FA,E 40® W1 AY 17 1983 BOOK T9.0 Fns;E 401 Administrator Balczun advised that we have a real problem at the main library as the copier is out to the extent that it is recommended that we don't bother with the repairs, which can be terribly expensive on that machine. The safest course of action. would be to trade the old machine in for $2499 and replace it with a new unit. Chairman Scurlock did not have a problem with that, but wished that Mary Kiser would get her act together. She wrote a memo earlier complaining about salaries and the lack of help from the Budget Office, but now it seems she has plenty of money in salaries to fund the copier. Commissioner Eggert explained that was a misunderstanding. Ms. Kiser was not criticizing the Budget Office, she was criticizing a woman in the Personnel Office. Commissioner Bowman did not know what kind of a copier they need, but felt that $2499 was a very high price. Commissioner Eggert understood that Ms. Kiser doesn't like the kind of copiers we buy here and feels this copier works better for the library, and Administrator Balczun confirmed that is so. Commissioner Bird believed there were a lot of copiers out there for less than $2500, and Commissioner Bowman emphasized that that when you consider how much it costs, you should consider the actual use and how much each copy costs. The brochures do not really tell you that. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, that the Board accept staff's recommendation and allocate up to $2499 for the purchase of a new copier for the main library, but encourage Ms. Kiser to get together with the County's Purchasing Manager and see what copier would best suit her needs at a competitive price. 58 Under discussion, Chairman Scurlock asked what kind of copier Ms. Kiser wants to purchase, and Commissioner Eggert knew that it wasn't the Savin. Administrator 133aIczun advised that it is the same brand as the one they have now; but he couldn't remember the name. Commissioner Eggert believed it should be as heavy duty a machine as possible. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion was voted on and carried unanimously. Commissioner Eggert felt that we should point out to Ms. Kiser that she has been pushing real hard for employees, and maybe she should search her budget for that money some plat: other than this. Perhaps we could get a part-time person for that. TO: Members of the Board of County Commissioners FROM: Joseph A.

CR -510 at Kings Highway Intersection Install a flashing beacon to -warn motorists of the northbound stop sign. 2. Speed Limit along SR -60 from 50th Avenue to I-95 Request Florida Highway Patrol and Sheriff's Department to enforce the speed limit along SR -60 and request D.O.T. to perform a speed limit study to reduce speed limit from 55 MPH to 45 MPH. Commissioner Bowman pointed out that last year a truck had gone through the intersection of CR -510 and Kings Highway and knocked down a building. With regard to the speed limit along SR -60 from 50th Avenue to I-95, she felt the main problem is that there aren't any signs posted.that require slow traffic to stay in the right lane. PROPOSED COMMITTEE TO WORK ON MASTER PLAN FOR JUNGLE TRAIL Commissi.oner Bowman wished to form a committee to come up with a master plan for the use of Jungle Trail, and would like the Board's permission to confer with the Historical Society, the Native .Plant Society, and the Planning Department and see what we can come up with before we.get into another bind on this road. Chairman Scurlock was under the impression that we did that during the meeting on the Windsor Polo Club, but Commissioner 60 Bowman explained that we don't really have a firm plan for it, and there.is a need to study it more now that the issue has cooled down a bit. Commissioner Bird understood that Commissioner Bowman would bring the composition of the committee back to the Board and that it would be a well balanced committee. Commissioner Eggert suggested that they have representation from the citrus owners in that area. The Board indicated their agreement with Commissioner Bowman's request. REQUEST TO SET COUNTY POLICY TO USE _MELALEUCA_MULCH WHENEVER POSSIBLE Commissioner Bowman wished to have the Board direct staff to use Melaleuca mulch whenever possible, instead of using Cypress mulch. She wished to see the Board set a policy of buying Melaleuca mulch, which is made from Melaleuca trees. Commissioner Bird did not want to make it a hard and fast policy, but felt that the Board should suggest to the Purchasing Dept. and Road & Bridge to try and purchase Melaleuca mulch whenever possible and whenever it is cost effective. The Board -indicated their agreement. SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL DISTRICT The Chairman announced that immediately upon adjournment, the Board of County Commissioners would reconvene acting as the District Board of Commissioners of the Solid Waste Disposal District. Those minutes are being prepared separately. 61 Ro� 404404 'NAY I?
