ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA/EMERGENCY ITEMS Chairman Scurlock asked that one item be added under the Administrator's items as 9A (8) = A request for a survey updating cross sections on the existing.Landfill cell. Commissioner Eggert believed that Item 13A (1) Request for a representative to serve on District 9 Health Advisory Council had been taken at an earlier meeting and that Steve Holmes had been appointed. Administrative Aide Forlani confirmed that this had been done and Item 13A should be deleted. Commissioner Bird requested that an item be added under his matters authorizing the County Attorney to work with the Gifford Progressive League in drawing up by-laws for the new community center.

Housing Authority It is recommended that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the County Commission. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: Me Department of Housing and Urban Development OW) has announced a competition and availability of finds for a HUD -administered -.Rental Rehabilitation Program for Small Cities, Pursuant to Section 17 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 USC 14370) which was enacted by'Section 301 of the Housing and Urban -Rural Recovery Act of 1938 (Public Law 98-81), approved November 30, 1983. A total of $1,553,000 in Rental Rehabilitation Program grant funds and Section 8 Housing vouchers are available for the P,ental Rehabilitation Program for Small Cities in the State of Florida. -In HUD's Circular Letter No. 88-53 dated JUL 2 61988 3 BOOK 73Fa(%249 July 1, 1988, Indian River County was .included in the list of eligible cities -and counties. 9lie deadline for submission is 4:00 'P.M. August 15, 1988, and must be received on that date `in the DHW Jacksonville office to be considered in this year's competition. The program is designed to assure an adequate supply of standard housing affordable to lower-income tenants as it increases the supply of private market rental housing available .. to lower-income tenants by providing government funds to rehabilitate existing units and Provide rental assistance to lower-income persons to help them afford the rent of these units. One Section 8 Certificate and/or Voucher can be provided for each $7,500 of grant funds to help eligible lower-income tenants. to pay the rent for rehabilitated units. In :order to leverage the maxim in amount of private capital, rehabilitation subsidies are generally limited to 50 per cent of the cost of rehabilitation, not to exceed $7,500 per unit adjusted for high cost areas. 'Grant funds may only be used to correct substandard conditions, make essential improvements,.and repair major systems in danger of failure. Units will be rented at market rents, and no special project rent controls or restrictions will be used. * Wthin the lower-income and neighborhood targeting requirements, the Rental Rehabilitation Program leaves broad opportunities .for local program design and flexibility. ALTERNATIVES AM ANALYSIS This is the fourth year Indian River County has been placed an the eligibility list to enter the competition for funding, and this type of program parallels our existing °rehabilitation housing efforts. RECOMK9MMONS : We respectfully request the County Commission to authorize its Chairman to execute `ithe.'application for submission to the Department of Housing and Urban Development for this .grant. "= This program will rehabilitate approximately twenty.(20) 'substandard rental units in .the distressed:neighborhoods within this jurisdiction and will make available additional... .standard units to be utilized by the Indian River County Section 8 Rental Assistance Program. *Our total request for Federal assistance is One Hmdred.Thousand Dollars ($100,000). This program requires no additional County funds. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- missioner Bird, the Board'unanimously authorized the Chairman to execute the application to DHUD for a grant under the Rental Rehabilitation Program and authorized staff to submit same.

Either he didn't send it all in or he misunder- stood. Commissioner Bird asked if all this was bid together or if the buildings were bid separately, and Utilities Director Pinto advised that there is one building which is the garage with the offices in it and the pathogenic building with the incinerator, and they were bid together. Commissioner Bird noted that we apparently sent out 52 invitations to bid but only received one bid, and he wondered if we need to review our procedures or bidding requirements on these smaller buildings as possibly our requirements for bonds, insurance, etc., are so cumbersome that people don't bid. Director Pinto agreed that is a problem. The insurance requirements, for instance, are one reason the contractors would ' JUS 2 6 1988BOOK 73 r-,�r,F 09&53 0 M M rather not bid government work because we are requiring so much; however, in this case, he believed they misunderstood some of the specifications also. Chairman Scurlock believed we authorized County Attorney Vitunac to review our procedures in terms of building and construction in our bidding process. Although generally the bid process works very well, he personally felt very strongly, in terms of constructing new facilities, that the concept of identi- fying and pre -qualifying a number of firms we feel comfortable with and have seen the type of work they have done would serve us well; we could do something similar to what we do in Utilities where we short listed a number and then worked from there to select an entity to do business with. The low bid process for building and construction has resulted in cost overruns as welt as litigation, and the Chairman felt that, at least on a trial basis, we should test doing our bidding differently with a cautious eye to the public dollar and see if it doesn't result in some savings. Commissioner Eggert wished to make sure we have looked at our insurance requirements. She"knew we ran into this problem in looking for an architect .for North County. Chairman Scurlock noted that all across the country because of insurance costs, only very large companies have the ability to get the insurance and comply with the large bonding requirements. For example, Dickerson was low bid for the St. Lucie landfill, but actually Dickerson subcontracted the entire project out. The firm they subcontracted to is the one that was the successful bidder in Indian River County, but that company could not bid the St. Lucie landfill on its own because of the very large cost involved with bonding the two projects. The Chairman continued to discuss the problems with bonding capability and the advan- tages of pre -qualifying companies. The Board generally agreed our bidding procedure should be looked into. 8 Bou 73 PAGE 254 ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- missioner Bird, the Board unanimously authorized staff to rebid Bid #455 with specification changes as determined to be necessary. In light of what the Board has just said, Attorney Vitunac advised that he would recommend we adopt the Vero Beach purchasing ordinance. He informed the Board that he already has sent that to our Purchasing Department for review, and when they are happy with it, he felt we should move to adopt it. That ordinance makes low bid about one of ten factors to consider. Purchasing Manager Ambler confirmed this is under review, and Chairman Scurlock requested that it be brought to the Board in a timely fashion.

DATE:July 18, 1988 FILE: County Administrator DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: APPEAL OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION'S DENIAL OF THE Robert M Kea in , A SUBJECTNIT TO ODIFY AOCONDITIONORINGS QOFSSITE Community Devel pme Director PLAN APPROVAL FROM: Stan Boling d' REFERENCES: moorings Chief, Current Development _ BWIEG It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of July 26, 1988. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: Lloyd & Associates, Inc. has submitted an administrative approval on behalf of the Moorings Center, Inc., to modify a condition of site plan approval. At its regular meeting of March 24, 1988, the Planning and Zoning Commission granted major site plan approval to construct a 53,200 sq. ft. shopping center at 2100 Windward Way, The Moorings. At the time this plan was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion, the plan showed a 10' right-of-way dedication along this site's S.R. A -1-A frontage. In addition, a condition was attached to site plan approval that the developers dedicate this 10' strip to the County prior to release of the approved plans. The plan also showed an 8' bikepath within the 10' right-of-way strip as required by Section 19(L) and 23.3(e)(6) of the County Code. The applicant has requested that the condition relating to the dedication of the 10' strip be deleted from the original Planning and Zoning Commission approval and that the plan be further modified to delete the required 8' bikepath. At its regular meeting of July 14, 1988, the Planning and Zoning Commission considered the modification, and unanimously (4-0) voted to: 1. Grant the developer the option to escrow funds for the required S.R. A -1-A bikepath prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy (C.O.); 2. Deny the request to delete from the site plan the 10' dedi- cation or reservtion strip along the site's S.R. A -1-A frontage, since the request does not conform to existing regulations; 3. Recommend that the Board of County Commissioners direct staff to: a, suspend application of the existing road reservation requirement to the Moorings Center project, b. revise existing requirements, and C* approve the modification. 12 BOOK 73 Pd GF 25® JUIL 2 6 1988 M M M 4. Recommend that the Board of County Commissioners consider reviewing regulations and/or program options that can ensure that the Thoroughfare Plan will be effectively implemented. The applicant has appealed the Planning and Zoning Commission's decision to deny the site plan modification to the Board of County Commissioners. Aside from the appeal, both the Planning and Zoning Commission and staff desire Board action on the matter. In order to satisfy the developer's request to modify the site plan and expedite issuance of a building permit, the Board would have to: a. determine that certain right-of-way reservation/dedi- cation requirements need to be changed due to legal or equity considerations; b. suspend application of certain dedication/reservation requirements in certain situations; C, approve the requested site plan modification (possibly with conditions); and d. direct staff and the Attorney's office to modify exist- ing dedication/reservation requirements. ANALYSIS AND ALTERNATIVES: There are two basic issues involved in the modification request:_ the bikepath requirement and the right-of-way dedication/ reserva- tion requirement. .. S.R. A -1-A Right -of -Way Deficiency At present, S.R. A -1-A is designated as a principal arterial roadway in the County's Transportation Thoroughfare Plan. The Thoroughfare Plan is the County's transportation plan for "build -out" conditions, while a portion of that plan, the 20 year capital improvements program, constitutes the 20 year road improvement plan. Pursuant to the Thoroughfare Plan and Section 23.3(d)4.b of the County Code, a minimum of 120' of right-of-way is required for principal arterial roadways. The 10' right-of-way dedication shown on the approved plans serves to make up the developer's share of the road right-of-way deficiency for this portion of S.R. A -1-A. Because improvements to this section of S.R. A -1-A are not on the 20 year C.I.P. (Capital Improvements Program), the 10' dedication does not qualify for traffic impact fee credit. Thus, an alter- native to dedicating this 10' strip would be to execute an agreement with the County to reserve this strip for future purchase. In doing so, the County could release the approved site plan after the reservation agreement is executed. and after all other conditions are met. This reservation alternative was :recently added to County Ordinances via Ordinance #88-4. The 'applicant, however_, does not wish to dedicate or reserve the 10' -171:7.'. strip, although the zoning code requires either dedication or j-.'''• reservation. The applicant has challenged the legality of the requirement, claiming that a forced reservation is tantamount to a .taking, which would require compensation. Although the current modification request does .not propose 'any improvements within the 10' ri ht-of-waY deficiency strip, nothingwould preclude the developer from locating improvements on' the strip if the requirement is not applied and the right-of-way is not dedicated or reserved. Constructing improvements within this strip could obstruct or limit future roadway or other related improvements or require more costly future acquisition by the County. Furthermore, locating required improvements in this strip now could later render the shopping center as a substandard development at such time that additional right-of-way is acquired. JUL 2 6 1988 13 Boos Piv 259 Finally, the applicant wishes to resolve the right-of-way defi- ciency issue -as soon as possible, since by ordinance [Ord. 88-4], no site plan can be released and no building permit can be issued prior to satisfaction of the right-of-way dedication /re sezvation requirement. The developer has stated that required permits from other jurisdictional agencies should be obtained shortly, and that the right-of-way issue could slow -down building permit issuance. S.R. A -1-A Bikepath The approved plan also showed a required 8' bikepath along the site's S.R. A -1-A frontage. Pursuant to County requirements, this bikepath is either to -be constructed, or (in -.certain cases) funds escrowed for its future construction, prior to a ---certificate of occupancy being issued for this project. In conjunction with the request to delete the condition for the dedication of the 10' right-of-way strip, the developer desires to delete this bikepath from the approved plan. Section 23.3(e)(6) specifically states that "bikeways shall be installed on all arterial and primary collector routes;..;, and as specified in the zoning district regulations applicable to the parcel". Section 19(L) states that "site plans for development within the CL zoning district shall provide the.following improve- ments,..., bikeways (as specified in the county bikeway plan, as currently exists or may be hereafter adopted)". The existing bikeway plan, formulated in the 1970's, calls for a bikeway along S.R. A -1-A from the south county line to the 17th- Street boule= yard. The developers would either have to obtain a permit from the DOT and construct the bikepath within the A -1-A right-of-way or construct the bikepath on their development site and grant the county a pedestrian easement over the bikepath. - The alternative of escrowing monies toward the future construction of the bikepath is acceptable to staff. The developer will have to escrow funds prior to issuance of a C.O. ALTERNATIVES: The alternative to provide for the required bikepath by escrowing for future construction is acceptable to staff. However, it appears that the dispute over the right-of-way dedica- tion/reservation requirement can only be resolved through one of the following means: 1. court action regarding the developer's challenge of the requirement's legality; or 2. changing the requirements by requiring dedications only where T.I.F. credit or density transfers can be given. yi It is the opinion of the County Attorney's office that the County ;would probably lose a court challenge in this case, since the -:disputed,10' strip is along a roadway segment that is not covered m�� a `-a;' in the a County's 20 -year Capital Improvements Program (C. I. P. ) MY In the opinion of the Planning Department, the dedica- '¢ tion/reservation requirement could be. changed to cover only situations where dedications could be compensated by either T.I.F. credits or density transfers. In effect, only roadway segments -included in the 20 year Capital Improvements Program (C.I.P.) , -or segments adjacent to residential project sites where density transfers are used, would be covered. The result: only the C.I.P. would be fully implemented; the Thoroughfare Plan would only be partially implemented. The only way *to expedite the developer's wishes would be if staff were directed by the Board of County Commissioners to: ,JUL 2 6 1988 4 BOOK 7 P,au 160 1. release the Moorings Center site plan prior to securing dedication/reservation of the 10' of S.R. A -1-A right-of-way, and 2. revise the ordinances to require dedications or reservations only where T.I.F. credits are available or where density transfers are used. It is the position of the Planning Department that the Thoroughfare Plan must be implemented. The Thoroughfare Plan is an integral part of the Comprehensive Plan: rights-of-way facilitate the roadway, drainage, and utilities improvements necessary to support existing and planned land uses. If it is the opinion of the County -Attorney's office that the 20 year, C.I.P. horizon is the probable legal limit of the County's regulatory authority regarding rights-of-way, then the- County must review regulation or program options that can ensure that the Thorough- fare Plan rights-of-way and corridors are protected or acquired. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners: 1. Direct staff to suspend application... of the existing road reservation requirement on. sites where no T.I.F. credit or density transfer credit can.be given; 2. Direct staff and the County Attorney's office to draft ordinance amendments to bring right-of-way reservation/dedi- cation requirements within the limits now determined to be legal; 3. Approve the requested site plan modification subject to the condition that in lieu of construction the developer escrow funds with the County in an amount adequate to cover future construction of an 8' bikepath along the site's entire S.R. A -1-A frontage; and 4. Schedule a workshop to consider alternate means of acquiring or protecting all right-of-way corridors depicted on the Thoroughfare Plan. Planner Boling noted that staff and the Board have worked a long time on the R/W issue, and the law seems to be evolving on this issue. The crux of the problem relates to equity. In this particular instance the problem is that the traffic impact fees are tied to the 20 year Capital Improvement Pian and not the build -out Thoroughfare Plan. The proposed Moorings Shopping Center is located on South A -1-A, which is not on the 20 year improvements program. When the Moorings came in with their site plan, they showed a 10' dedication along with the required bike path within that 10' strip, but when they realized no traffic impact fee credit was available, they challenged the reservation requirement of the ordinance and said it was a "taking" denying them the reasonable use of the 10' strip. AU216 1988 15 BOOK .6 rn 261 Commissioner Wheeler asked if we will end up with the R/W eventually or not, and Planner Boling explained that the original proposed site plan set back everything 20' from the existing R/W line. What they are proposing now is just to remove any indica- tion that there is a 10' strip to be dedicated to the county. As it stands now with the modification, they would not be encroach- ing into any future R/W at this time. Commissioner Wheeler noted that if we suspend the applica- tion, they could come back in and change the site plan and move the building over; then we will be back here again. Planner Boling advised that they are not changing the design of the site plan - all that they are asking for right now is the deleting of the reference to that strip, within which strip they showed a bike path. If we do suspend application of the R/W requirements, then they could come back in later on and redesign the parking lot and move it closer to A -1-A. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird for purposes of discussion, to approve the staff recommendation. Chairman Scurlock felt that the Attorney's office has done a real fine job, as well as the Planning Department. He believed Attorney Bill Collins came up with about 7 cases that are directly on point on this issue, and it was determined that it is an evolving situation and there is no direct answer at this point. The Chairman noted that it is easy from the Planning staff's point of view to say we have to have the roads and we have to have the money - so, let's be aggressive and accomplish that, but the other side of the picture is that developers are trying to get their projects built in a feasible way and all these factors must be balanced. The bottom line is that at some point that infrastructure is going to have to be built and it will come to the point that if you don't have a vehicle to JUL 199 1 s mow 73 r E 262 generate enough revenue to support expansion of your roadway network, you will see yourself exceeding those roadway capacity limits and as a result you will have a moratorium. This has happened in Palm Beach and Orange Counties. Palm Beach is facing impact fees between water, sewer and roads, that total $8-9,000 and even that is not generating enough revenue to expand their network. This is a very serious problem. Commissioner Eggert confirmed that we are seeing that pressure at the Regional Planning Council. Commissioner Wheeler stated that philosophically he thought if we are going to take the property, we should buy it. There must be something worked out where we can get our R/W. We can't let building go up and fill up,the R/W we will need in the future. This has happened all over Europe. Discussion continued in regard to how high impact fees could have to go, and Commissioner Wheeler commented that in Orlando impact fees for a fast food restaurant were something like $8-10,000 per 1,000 sq. ft. Chairman Scurlock stressed that it will take a lot of workshops to develop an equitable approach to this problem. Commissioner Eggert believed a group such as The Moorings understands that while the 10' R/W may not be sitting there on their site plan, it is certainly something that well may be purchased in the not too far distant future, and she could not imagine them moving a parking lot onto the R/W. Dorothy Hudson,.attorney for The Moorings, noted that they do not want to create a substandard project - the problem is that this road is not on the 20 year plan. She felt we are talking something in the near future when it isn't in the near future. Discussion ensued as to why A -1-A is not on the county's 20 year plan., and it was pointed out that it is a state road. Commissioner Bird reviewed the Motion which is to approve staff's 4 recommendations and asked if the funds to be escrowed 'JUL 217 198 BOOK 73 1 uE 126 M to cover future construction of an 8' bikepath would go in an interest bearing escrow account. Attorney Vitunac confirmed that they would. Commissioner Bowman asked if it would be possible to include a provision that there be no structures erected within that area, and Attorney Vitunac advised that it would not be possible. Chairman Scurlock noted that there is an equity situation involved here. Now we are talking about extracting these dollars from this particular developer while in the past no one paid impact fees with the result that you have little strips of bike paths that don't connect anywhere. We need to have a major bikepath plan adopted at some point, but again you have some people paying because of timing and other people not, and actually there is not enough money to do any of it. The Chairman noted that we include drainage in road projects so he could not see why we cannot include the cost of sufficient bike paths on a major road network in our impact fees because he believed it is directly related to moving people. Public Works Director Davis advised that we haven't done a major project without accommodating the bikepath. The Florida DOT green book requires you to consider the pedestrian. Chairman Scurlock asked if bike paths on SR 60 are included in our 20 year program and in the cost of the impact fee, and Director Davis noted that SR60 improvements are not in the 20 year plan nor is most of A -1-A. Chairman Scurlock felt that logically a bikepath should come into town on SR60 and then connect with the 17th Street bridge .over to A -1-A, and we then would have a bikepath that could go literally from boundary to boundary of the county. This would provide the ability to come into the core system and bike a tremendous distance in a safe environment. Planning Director Keating advised that is consistent with what the proposed sidewalk/bikeway path system does; it tries to recognize planned improvements by the county so it incorporates 18 JUL 2 6 1988 Rona 7� the future Phases III and IV of the Boulevard where there will be a paved shoulder built for the bike path and also 53rd Street, which will be a westward link. A pretty deep analysis has been done on this, and he felt the Board will be impressed with it when they see it. Director Keating noted that the unfortunate thing about impact fees and bike paths is that they can't be used to build stand-alone bike paths if there is no capacity increasing improvement being done to the roadway. Therefore, the whole concept is to try to fit the path where the roadway improvements will be done. Commissioner Bird commented that as a member of the com- mittee working on the bikepath system, he is very impressed with what staff has done up to this time. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION on the -Motion to approve the staff recommendation as set out in memo dated July 18, 1988. It was voted on and carried unanimously.

Nearing 117 REFERENCES: Staff Planner CC - It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of July 26, 1988. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The county has initated a request to rezone five parcels consisting of approximately 4 acres. The request is to rezone these parcels from RM -6, Multi -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre to CG, General Commercial. The subject parcels are situated on the east side of U.S. 1, east of the Vero Beach City Limits and south of the 450 acre Hospital/Commercial Node situated at the intersection of 37th Street and U.S. 1. J U L . � 1988 z o Boy. �1� F•,cE �6 r � r This request was initiated as a result of a rezoning request involving three parcels south of parcel S. That request was approved April 29, 1988. In addition to approving that rezoning request, the Board of County. Commissioners directed staff to initiate the request currently under review. The Board felt that the remaining parcels in this area should be rezoned to commercial to avoid a mixed commercial/residential development pattern from occurring, and to make the zoning for that land under county jurisdiction compatible with the commercial zoning of the 200 ft. strip.of land west between the subject parcels and U.S. 1, which lies within the City of Vero Beach. On June 9, 1988, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of this request. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the appli- cation will be presented. The analysis will include a descrip- tion.o.f the current and future land uses of the site and sur- rounding areas, potential impacts on the transportation and -utility systems, and any significant adverse impacts on environ - `.r mental quality.

District (allowing up to 6 units/acre). All surrounding land within .the county's jurisdiction currently zoned CG or RM -6 has a land use designation of MXD. To the north of 21 JUL 2 6 1998 � - Rcoa 73 �a,,-H?67 I J parcels 1 and 2 is the 450 acre Hospital/Commercial Node: All land lying within the 200 ft. wide strip of land under city jurisdiction west to U.S. 1 is Commercial. This request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Transportation System The subject property currently has no direct access. However, access can be gained to U.S. 1 across the property situated within the City, most of which is under common ownership. U.S. 1 is classified as an arterial road on the county's Thoroughfare Plan. Currently, this section of U.S. 1 is operating at a Level -of -Service (LOS) "C" or better. However, when the Department of Community Affairs reviewed the recent Comprehensive Plan amendment for this area (changing the land use -to MXD, approved by the Board of County Commissioners on March 15, 1988) they did express concern over the status of U.S. 1. The DOT, through the DCA, recommended that traffic impact studies be required of any development which occurs in this area. Currently, County Code requires that any use which generates over -`1000 average annual daily trips, or is located in a critical transportation corridor, can be required to perform an impact study. The County Traffic Engineer feels that, -based on the DOT comment, this section of U.S. 1 does qualify as a critical -corridor. Environment' The Comprehensive Plan does not designate this area as environmentally sensitive, nor is it situated in a flood prone area. Utilities - This area is currently being serviced by City of Vero Beach public water and wastewater facilities. RECOMMENDATION Based on the analysis performed, staff recommends approval. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. There were none, and he thereupon closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- missioner Bird, the Board unanimously adopted Ordinance 88-28 rezoning 5 parcels (4 acres) east of U.S.1 and south of the Hospital/Commercial Node from RM -6 to CG.

Br-a-DoriC Sworn to and subscribed before me this day A.D. 19 f chairman. of s Buies ge � (Clerk of the Circuit Court, Indian River Co nty, o da) (SEAL) Asst. County Attorney William Collins, reviewed the following, stressing the problems encountered by the Clerk of Courts in trying to preserve the old records in a readable state and also be sure that the new ones remain readable in the future: 10: The Board of County Comni.ssioners FROM: voc—Wi I I iam G. Collins 11 - Assistant County Attorney DATE: May 4, 1988 SUBJECT: Amendment to Platting Ordinance Please find attached a proposed ordinance making minor revisions to our requirements for final. platting. The second and the third revision are minor and Incorporate requirements of Florida Statutes relating to platting. The second simply provides for inclusion of the name of the -subdivision within the Certificate of Dedication executed by the owners. The third. revision. incorporates a new requirement of Florida law that requires that dedications 25 IJUL 2 6Boa 73 FAGi 271 1988 for utility easements shall also be easements for the use of cable television services. The first revision and perhaps the most important, has to do with the lettering size' on pia,ts. As you may be aware if you have ever tried to read a plat which has been photographed on microfilm and then reproduced from the microfilm at half of Its original -size, It is very difficult to read the printing on many if not most plats. This raaily defeats one of the functions of recording a plat, I.e., to put the publ-Ic on notice as to the ,intentions for the future sale and development of a particular parcel of land..: To avoid this.prdblem the clerks office and the county surveyor have suggested a minimum character height of 5/32 of an inch which is the standard size used for Department of Defense mlcr.ofiimed materials. I incorporate for your review examples of -this size print as well as supporting memorandums from Mr. Cramer and Mr. Woodard which explain the.need for this change better than I can. Chairman Scurlock inquired if we have had objections to these proposals, and Attorney Collins confirmed that we have. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. Peter Musick, registered land surveyor, informed the Board that he is here to object to the proposed changes. His reason' was that the Clerk's Office has a microfilm that was designed to micro film Official Record Book documents; it was never designed to microfilm recorded plats, and so in the reducing process, they are encountering problems. Mr. Musick pointed out that right now anyone interested in a recorded plat can go to the Courthouse and get a full size copy of it through the blue print process, but he understood there are other ways of doing this. He further pointed out that increasing the size of the lettering could take a one-page plat and literally make it a 3 or 4 page document. Attorney Collins confirmed Mr. Musick's statement and gave the Board a copy of a 4 page plat of a portion of Grand Harbor with the proposed lettering, 3 pages of which contained the dedicatory language. Mr. Musick requested that the Board take a hard look at this proposal and come up -with an alternative. He also asked that the Board request the Clerk to stop microfilming record piats,with a' microfilm process that was never designed for plats but for legal size documents (81 x 14). JUL 2 26 BooK 7 PA,CF % 19� Chairman Scurlock felt the question is not the microfilm process but rather the reproduction machine, and he believed if you bought a different machine, you could blow the plat up to any size. Mr. Musick agreed that the present process can reduce it down to a postage stamp size, but it can't expand it back out. Commissioner Eggert questioned how big we want the plat books that are going to be used every day to serve people up in the Planning Department, for example. She felt we could get almost back to having to use the full size. She personally, after 6-7 years staring at plats when she was on the Planning >; Zoning Commission and taking anything she could find the enlarge the print, experienced a great deal of frustration and believed the people who work with them each day must feel equal frustration. Chairman Scurlock asked how our Planning staff feels about this, and Director Keating advised that they do have a magnifying glass they use a lot when reading the plat books; however, they understand the Clerk's problem because there are many plats where they cannot read the dedicatory Language even with a magnifying glass, and this language is very important when they are trying to find out what was dedicated and who owns roads. Commissioner Wheeler felt there is not much sense in stor- ing records that are not completely usable. The Chairman concurred that there is a problem, but he was not sure this is the correct way to solve it. If the problem can be solved by us budgeting for some additional equipment to get everything in a readable state, that would seem the solution rather than solving one problem and creating another. Mr. Musick continued to express his objections to having plats that would consist of three or four pages which he felt could result in chaos down the road as there is always the possibility that you could lose a page. 27 ,JUL 2 6 1988 BOOK 73 P GC 2.073 Discussion ensued in regard to tabling this item and asking staff to work with Rick Woodard, Manager of Microfilm for the Clerk, and come up with a solution to satisfy both sides. It was noted that Mr. Woodard is on vacation and will not be back for another week. Attorney Collins advised that he will ask Mr. Woodard to be present when this items comes back to the Board. Discussion continued and Mr. Musick advised that his computer man says you can digitize these plats and store them on floppy discs. Chairman Scurlock believed in our Building Department we have a reserve account of about .$600,000. He assumed what these plats are used for ultimately is to build something, and he wondered if those funds could be used to buy a piece of equipment that would help the Clerk and ultimately help us not make a lot of mistakes. Commissioner Eggert continued to stress the need for all the wording on the plats to be readable without them being so huge it makes them equally ungainly. Mr. Musick believed the surveyors and engineers can perform a little disciplinary action within the ranks and make sure they use the finest pens and make the letters as large as they can. He hoped the.Board would table this item at this time. The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard. Robert "Flip" Lloyd, Engineer and Surveyor, expressed his opposition for the same reasons enumerated by Mr. Musick. He believed other equipment may be the answer. He also pointed out that there is a plat book where the large plats are available for the public to see and what is proposed won't do anything for the old recorded plats in any event. He further noted that the state requires that platting be legible. Attorney Dorothy Hudson advised that she did not see any problem with multi -page plats, and stated that she was in favor of anything that improves their legibility. JUL 2 6 1988 28 BooK .73 pnE 274 ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously tabled further consideration of the proposed platting ordinance amendments for two weeks.

CHEATH It is requested that the data herein be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of July 19, 1988. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: The County has been petitioned by Rustic Dimensions, Incorporated, a Florida Corporation, owner of the subject property, for the release of a two (2) foot portion of the easterly ten (10) foot utility and drainage easement of Lot 20, Block "K", Stevens Park Subdivision, Unit No. One, Section 16, Township 33 South, Range 39 East, Indian River County, Florida; according to the Plat thereof as recorded in Plat Book 4, Page 53, of the Official Records of Indian River County, Florida. It is the petitioner's intent to construct a single-family residence on the property; the release of a -portion of the easement is requested to allow for the extension of roof eaves over 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 Company, Florida Power and Light Company, Florida Cablevision Corporation, and the Indian River County Utility Department and Engineering Division. The Indian River County Engineering Division will agree to a conditional release if the petitioner installs a culvert in that portion of the drainage ditch which shall be determined by the 29 ,JUL 2 6 1999 Boos 73 F{ ,)i #75 County Engineer for size, length, type, and placement. This condition will enable the County to maintain the drainage system, and prevent erosion of soils around the foundation of the residence. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends to the Board, through the adoption of a resolution; the release of the westerly two (2) feet of the easterly ten (10) foot utility and drainage easement of Lot 20, Block "K", Stevens Park Subdivision, Unit No. One, Section 16, Township 33, Range 39 East, Plat Book 4, Page 53, of the Public Records of Indian River County, Florida.

Keating, AICPR REFERENCES:- _ Director Community Development Department It is recommended that the data herein presented be given formal - consideration by the' Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of July 19, 1988. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS: In the beginning of 1987, -the planning staff, at the direction of the Board of County Commissioners,: initiated an analysis of the planning division's fee structure. This analysis involved estimating total county costs for the division's various review and permitting functions. It also. involved a survey of other local governments to determine the fee structure of those governments. Because of staff turnover and competing priorities, the fee analysis was delayed. ,However, at. the beginning of 1988, the analysis was reactivated, and it was completed recently. The completed analysis, proposed fee schedule, and implementing resolution are attached to this agenda item. The analysis report is self-explanatory, identifying methodology, man-hour estimates, and revised fees. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS: The proposed fee schedule reflects the county's costs to process permits and reviews. The cost estimates include not only the planning division's staff time, but also the staff time of other county departments. As such, the proposed fees assess applicants a fee comparable to the county's processing costs. In considering the proposed fee schedule, the Board of County ,Commissioners has several alternatives. The Board can approve the proposed fees, approve a modification of the proposed fees, r deny the recommended fee schedule revisions. Because' the w�;rxstaff has estimated processing costs'and compared these costs to °the fees charged.*by other local governments, the staff feels that h the fees are reasonable. RECOMMENDATION: M11% staff recommends that the Board approve the schedule by adopting.the attached resolution. proposed fee J U L 2 6 1988 32 eool, 7 3ri fE�% Director Keating advised that staff started on this well over a year ago, and they assessed the entire fee structure of the Community Development Department. He reviewed in detail how they analyzed costs and surveyed local governments in the area to see if the proposed costs are comparable. Table 2 sets out the Fee Schedule Comparison, and Director Keating explained they used an average and a range because different governments charge in a different manner so that it is hard to compare. Chairman Scurlock wished to know if we have a.revenue estimate of what this new fee recommendation would generate for next year and whether that would be plugged into the budget prior to our final budget hearings. Director Keating advised that staff has not done a projec- tion of how much it will bring in because it varies according to how many plats and site plans come in and how big they are. He could say that the first 6 months of the current fiscal year, the total Planning Division's fee revenue was $56,000. Commissioner Eggert expressed concern about the fee for minor site plans as people need to improve their property, and felt it has become very costly; although, she realized staff still has to go through the whole process with them. Director Keating believed on minor site plans, administra- tive approvals are still within a reasonable cost range; those are $100, and they include improvements up to 1500 sq. ft. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- missioner Wheeler, to adopt Resolution 88-46 approving the proposed Fee Schedule for the Planning Division. Director Keating wished the Board to be aware that he did include a $25 fee for a written confirmation of zoning. People can call up and get verbal confirmation, but if they ask for written confirmation, it will be $25.00. Actually, we don't get that many requests.

CONSTRUCTION OF DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS IN ROCKRIDGE Public Works Director Davis reviewed the following: 39 BOOK 73 F,,a,I E 8 TO: Charles P. Balczun, County Administrator FROM: James W. Davis, P.E. Public Works Director SUBJECT: Construction of Drainage Improvements in Rockridge REF. LETTER: Brian Graham, Camp Dresser & McKee, Inc. to Jim Davis dated July 7, 1988 DATE: July 19, 1988 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS When the Rockridge sewer project. was bid, Public Works requested an alternate bid item be included for construction of drainage swales in rear lot easements where the sewer lines were to be constructed. The bid for this work was $84,000. At the present time, funding for this work has not been considered. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The following alternatives are presented: Alternative No. 1 Accept the alternative bid item for rear lot swales at a cost of $84,000 and Appropriate the funding in FY88/89 Road and Bridge Division's budget. Alternative No. 2 Request the Road and Bridge Division to construct the swales after the sewer lines are constructed. Since rock is located in this area, it is possible that the Road and Bridge Division could disturb the sewer system and nullify the contractor's warranty. Alternative No. 3 Reject the alternate bid and not construct the swale system. RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING It is recommended that Alternative 1 be approved. 40 BOOK 73 m,)'[286J U L � 19 r CDMCAMP DRESSER & McKEE INC. environmental engineers, scientists, 660 Beachland Boulevard Suite 202 planners, 6 management consultants Vero Beach, Florida 32963 407 231-4301 Fax: 407 231-4332 July 7, 1988 11 Mr. Jim Davis Public Works Director Indian River County 1840 25th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960 RE: Rockridge Sanitary Sewer System Dear Mr. Davis: As we had discussed earlier this year, -the -construction of_swales in the - backyard easements was included 'in the Rockridge Area Sanitary Sewer System bid package as an Alternate Bid Item. The Indian River County Board of County Commissioners approved the award of the construction contract of the sanitary sewers to Roese Contracting Co. on May 31, 1988. Roese had an Alternate Bid of $84,000 for the construction of the swales (see attached). If you would like to discuss this or any other project, please feel free to contact our office. Very truly yours, CAMP DRESSER & McKEE INC. Brian J.raham Director Davis explained that this item was bid as a alternate item because it is really not a part of the sewer work, and he believed there are grant monies involved with the sewer work. He advised that it was bid that way just to see what it would cost while we are in there digging the sewer lines in the back lot easements to improve the drainage. Chairman Scurlock wished to suggest something. He advised that he has talked with the gentleman, and you must consider the fact that this is not his area of particular expertise in that sense; so, rather than awarding the $84,000, which he believed was more of a ballpark figure, he would like to see the Board authorize staff to negotiate a price as he believed we can get it for about $62,000. 41 BOOK 7F��.GE 28 'JUL 2 � 1988 Director Davis concurred, but advised the Board that they did not have this funding programmed in their budget, and he would like to increase the budget for next year to do this as he really does not have a $60,000 cushion after they took the $200,000 out at budget session. Chairman Scurlock felt the final budget hearings would be the place to bring this up. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, to authorize the Utilities and Public Works staff to negotiate the bid for con- struction of drainage swa'les to get a better price as recommended by the Chairman and to approve same subject to the funding being approved at final budget. Commissioner Eggert wished to know if this work is something that has to be done, and Director Davis stated that it does not have to, but staff recommends this be done in conjunction with the sewer work because we don't want to grass it and restore it twice. We also don't want an independent contractor to work here and disturb the force mains and feel it would be better to have one contractor do it all. THE CHAIRMAN called for the question. It was voted on and carried unanimously.

Both projects are budgeted for FY 87/88 and .must be complete by September 30, 1988. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The alternatives are as follows: Alternative 1 Rebid the projects. This will take a minimum of 45 days and may not yield any new bids. Alternative 2 Authorize Staff to negotiate a price with know contractors. Recent past projects would guide staff in obtaining a fair price. We propose to eliminate the performance bond since the cost of the work is not over $100,000. RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING Staff recommends Alternative No. 2. Once a contract is negotiated, staff will bring it to the Board for approval.

RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the work be awarded to Masteller, Moler and Reed, Inc., who submitted a low quote of $2,800.00. Monies for this work will come from the Other Professional Services in the landfill budget. Chairman Scurlock wished to know what the other quotes were since that information was not included in the backup, and he felt it should be,a part of the record. "Sonny" Dean, Solid Waste Manager, informed the Board that the bid received from Lloyd 8 Associates was $3,700 and the bid from Marshall, McCully & Associates was $3,200. Commissioner Bowman noted that the proposal from Masteller, Moler 8 Reed says "For any and all subcontract services invoiced through our office, there will be a 10% surcharge of the face amount of said invoice......."

Vitunac, County Attorney DATE: July 14, 1988 RE: PROPOSED LEASE AGREEMENT - CITY OF SEBASTIAN AND INDIAN RIVER COUNTY FOR AMBULANCE SQUAD Board Meeting - July 26, 1988 - Attached 1s correspondence and the first page of a proposed lease from the City of Sebastian to Indian River County of the former Sebastian Ambulance' Squad facilities. -The County_ would be required to sublease the property to the Fdllsmere- Volunteer Ambulance Squad. The cover letter from the City of Sebastian Assistant Finance Director indicates that Sebastian believes -that Indian River County has the statutory responsibility to provide ambulance service. This is not correct --Florida law gives the County the power to provide ambulance service but does not require it to. I request direction from the Board whether to enter Into this lease and sublease arrangement. Attorney Vitunac advised that staff sees no reason for the County to get involved with the Sebastian owned site and lease it to the Fellsmere Volunteer Ambulance Squad. Sebastian can act as a landlord as well or better than the county could. Commissioner Eggert stated that she had very strong feelings about not getting involved, and Administrator Balczun advised that staff also felt very strongly that we should not be involved. N ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously directed the County Attorney not to enter into the proposed lease and sublease arrangement. 51 BOOK � FH,E ?97 DOT/GRAND HARBOR PLAT 1 County Attorney Vitunac reviewed the following: TO: The Board of County Commissioners FROM: w (..William G. Collins 11�- Assistant County Attorney DATE: July 13, 1988 SUBJECT: DOT/Grand Harbor Plat 1 In the Certificate of Dedication 'of Grand Harbor - Plat 1, the developer specifically excepted from dedication, through language of reservation, certain lands for future conveyance to DOT. The language reads as follows: "The proposed DOT'drainage right-of-way, adjacent to the east right-of-way for U. S. Highway No. 1,*as shown is reserved for future conveyance to the State of Florida Department of Transportation, subject to appropriate easement for access roadway and utilities." The developer subsequently attempted to make conveyance to DOT of the designated property which was reserved from dedication. DOT would not accept a deed, stating as an objection the language in the Certificate 'of Dedication which they took to make the conveyance subject to certain easements. DOT's position is that they released a drainage canal to the developer free and clear 'and that they should get a conveyance free and clear (of easements) in return. They also contend that in the event they ever needed to move a drainageway under the property conveyed, they would be put In the position of condemning the easement, which Is an Interest in property, rather than simply revoking a permit and reissuing it at another location. It is my feeling that the quoted language does not limit the developer in his future disposal of the property reserved. The public only has rights In that property which is dedicated. This property was.reserved to the developer and kept separate from the effect of dedication. I read the quoted language as simply evidencing a statement of Intention on the part of the developer. v eloer having retained title to the property can convey Iteither free and clear or subject to easements, whichever suits the needs and purposes of the two parties to the conveyance. Since the reservation precluded any rights accruing to the public through dedication, should the.developer and DOT now determine that the conveyance shall not be subject to any I easements, but instead shall be subject to the Issuance of appropriate permits for access roadway and utilities and drainage, the County, i:e., the public, has no Interest in the nature of that transaction. However, DOT in order to remove any fear as to the quality of their title, has requested that the language In the Certificate of Dedication be amended to reflect the fact that the conveyance wi I i be subject to the issuance of permits (rather than subject to easements) for access roadway, utilities and drainage. It 0 JUL 26 1988 52 Boor FL,98 is proposed that this matter be clarified by the filing of an affidavit setting out the appropriate corrective language agreed to by the developer and DOT. When such an affidavit is filed, the Clerk of the Court must record the affidavit and place in the margin of the recorded plat a notation that the affidavit has been filed, the date of filing, and the book and page where It is recorded. This is the procedure set out by Florida Statute 177.141 for confirming and correcting any appreciable error or omission in the data as shown on any plat duly recorded. This section generally speaks to error in survey data, but by analogy I believe it could be utilized to clarify the intent and to reassure the Department of Transportation as to the nature of title which they are obtaining, i.e., free and clear of any easements. No easement was created by the statement of future intention in the language quoted above. Any easement would have to be created in the instrument of conveyance itself. This affidavit is simply filed for purpose of clarification as to the intent and effect of the language in the Certificate of Dedication which reserved .title t -o - this property in the - developer for future conveyance to DOT. Attorney Vitunac informed the Board that while this seems complicated, it actually is a minor item that probably should have been on the Consent Agenda. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commis- sioner Bird, the Board unanimously authorized the Chairman to sign the affidavit as described above.

Com. Eggert later in the meeting asked to revisit the Old Jail item as she just did not recognize the amount of acreage that is excepted as that of the Ambulance Squad. Commissioner Bowman believed we also own R/W for St. Francis Manor. In discussion it was clarified that the Motion is contingent on staff rechecking what we are conveying and making sure that we are not conveying anything that we should not be in terms of the Ambulance Squad.

Baird OMB Director - DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Shorelands Development Company is requesting the installation of two (2) streetlights. The City of Vero Beach Engineering Department has determined that two (2) 27,500 lumen H.P.S. lights_ should be installed. A charge of $16.50 per light is recommended. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the request for a streetlight, contingent upon completion of the following procedure: 1. Staff would bill Shorelands Development Inc. $396.00 _ in advance for the cost of two streetlights for a full year. 2. Staff would draft a standard single streetlight agreement between Shorelands Development Inc. and Indian River County. 3. Staff would add Shorelands Developments two (2) 27,500 lumen H.P.S. lights to the Master Streetlight Agreement between Indian River County and the City of Vero Beach. 4. By approval of this agenda item, the Board would authorize the Chairman to sign the amendment to the Master Streetlight Agreement and the agreement between Indian River County and Shorelands Development, Inc. Commissioner Bowman noted that "a charge of $16.50 per light is recommended." She asked if that meant $16.50 per light per year. Chairman Scurlock stated that is the electric bill for the light, and he doubted that it would be yearly. It was clarified that it would be a monthly charge, and the cost for the two lights would add up to $396 per year. 60 BOOK 73 F1�E •�U� JL �� 19� ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commis- sioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved Shorelands Development Company's request for two streetlights contingent on the conditions recommended by staff, and authorized the Chairman to sign the necessary documents. (Amendment to Master Street light Agreement and Agreement between County& Shorelands will be made a part of the record when fully executed and received.) ADDED ITEM - DISCUSSION REACQUISITION OF NORTH BEACH WATER CO. Chairman Scurlock requested that an item be added to the agenda for discussion of the acquisition of North Beach Water Company as he wished to clarify that a bit and give an update. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commis- sioner Bird, the Board unanimously added the above item to the agenda as requested by the Chairman. Chairman Scurlock noted that basically the utility staff and Mr. Baird came before the Board requesting signature on an acquisition document, which document basically approved acquiring North Beach utilities for approximately 3.1 million. The funding mechanism within that agreement was very much contingent upon financing. The proposal at the time was for a $13.00 a month surcharge which would, in fact, fund the acquisition. The Chairman explained why they tried to work around the $13 figure is that basically was the difference between their existing charges and bringing them onto the existing county rate, and it would give the residents the opportunity to come on the county system with very little, if any, change in their rate structure. The Chairman continued that at the time we ran those numbers, it was apparent that the $13.00 possibly would work. 61 BOOK 7 rmu-F 3® 7 JUL 2 � 1988 This is a function of interest rate and the finance period. For example, if you fund $13 over 20 or 15 or 10 years, it will fund different amounts - just like your home mortgage. If you take a 15 year mortgage versus a 30 year mortgage, it ups your payments but cuts your time and your total interest. However, it appears on the advice of Art Diamond that possibly in terms of the market, $13 for 20 years would not be the most acceptable. Again there is another question as to what the interest rate will do. The structure of the agreement is contingent upon our getting acceptable financing. In the language within the documents we are preparing now for the bond issue necessary to fund this, the staff has recommended that language be included that the charge be $13 a month as a surcharge; however, the option is to raise that charge contingent upon the necessity to fund an additional amount. Chairman Scurlock noted there are other options we are looking at - we can go to the pool, which we have not ruled out, or go to a variable interest rate. What that would result in would be a low interest rate at the front end and possibly higher at the end. Chairman Scurlock advised that there is another thing they are looking at. After the Gifford project gets closed out and the Farmers Home loan is actually issued (it is just a commitment at this time), we are talking about a major refunding of all of our issues, consolidating our debt, and getting rid of some of the bond covenants, which are somewhat restrictive at this point. We can't do that at this time since the loan has not actually been granted, but once it is issued, they feel a discount similar .to the one offered earlier will be offered, and at that time, he felt there will be a serious look at recommending a refinancing and rolling this issue up into that overall general issue. The other option available, as shown through our cash flow analysis, which will be coming to the Board fairly soon from Coopers Lybrand, is that we are going to be looking at a potential for a JUL 1988 62 BooK 7e F.9rE3®� rate increase or some method of increasing revenues - possibly further expanding of the system in a more rapid fashion. Reduc- tion of costs really isn't an option at this point, but when we do raise that rate structure, those funds necessary to support the North County very easily could be included in the overall rate structure. The Chairman felt there is some misunderstanding as to where we are and what was recommended, and the key is that particular acquisition is contingent upon acceptable financing. He assured that Board that they will be made fully aware of exactly what the terms of the financing will be, and whether the terms will be acceptable or not will be a decision of this Board. Utilities Director Pinto informed the Board that he has talked to Mr. Hess from the water company, who is also a banker, and told trim we were taking a look at those numbers. Mr. Hess fully understands that and says whatever the numbers have to be, that is what it will come out, and since the principal owner of, the water company is the principal owner of the development company, they would be the ones paying the major part of that surcharge. SOUTH COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT The Chairman announced that immediately upon adjournment, the Board would reconvene acting as the District Board of Fire Commissioners of the South County Fire District. Those Minutes are being prepared separately. DOCUMENTS TO BE MADE.A PART OF THE RECORD Interlocal Agreement between Bruce H.
