F. Tierra Linda Streetlights - Budget Amendment 066

DATE: August .14, 1990
SUBJECT: IMULRA LINDA STREEMGHTS -
BUDGET ABIENDMENT 066
... - CONSENT AGENDA
FROM: Joseph A. Bair
OMB Director
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
A Tierra Linda Streetlighting fund was established a few years ago. Due to a timing
problem and some confusion, the Tierra Linda streetlighting district was not established
and still has not been. The streetlights have been installed and we are paying the bills
monthly. Unfortunately) the Tierra Linda Streetlight fund will have a deficit at the end of
the 1989/90 fiscal year and the 1990/91 fiscal year.
8
ANALYSIS
Staff is researching to see if Tierra Linda has a Homeowners Association that we may be
able to bill and reach a temporary agreement. For financial statement purposes, we cannot
have a Fund in a deficit position; therefore, staff would like a budget amendment
transferring funds from the M.S.T.U. contingencies to satisfy the short -fall.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is requesting approval of the following:
1. A budget amendment transferring $4,380.00 from M.S.T.U.
contingencies.
2. Authorize attorney staff to draft documents to establish a
streetlighting district by January 1991.
3. Allow staff to pursue reaching an agreement with Tierra Linda
Homeowner's Association, if one exists.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously approved
Budget Amendment #066 in the amount of $4,380, as
recommended by OMB Director Baird.

APPROVAL OF STORAGE FACILITIES FOR CLERK'S NORTH COUNTY OFFICE
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 8/8/90:
DATE: AUGUST 16, 1990
TO: JEFF BARTON, CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT
FROM: H.T. "SONNY" DEAN, DIRECTOR
DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICE
SUBJECT: NORTH COUNTY OFFICE SPACE
The following is in response to your memorandum dated August 8,
1990:
1. Storage Space - We do not have monies in this year's budget to
fill your request. If you will go to the Board and get them
to appropriate the funds, we will proceed with installation.
2. FAX Line - You were right. The line is yours and will be
corrected. Mrs. Robinson was going to use her phone line for
the FAX. This can be done with an automatic switch. It
appears to me that both offices could use the same machine.
We only have two such machines in the entire Administration
Building.
3. Bottled Water - I spoke to Gene Morris to ascertain what they
were doing for drinking water. He is not using bottled water
because it is too expensive. I feel, we can take the same
attitude in our areas. The other two offices have not
complained about the water. �
12
County Clerk Jeff Barton explained that when the renovation
of the office space was being done, there was no money left
according to Building & Grounds to enclose an 8 -ft. wall section
and install a door. That enclosure would have provided a secure
storage place within the building. The office is occupied now,
and they need some sort of storage space that can be locked.
Building & Grounds has not given a figure on how much it would
cost.
Sonny Dean, General Services Director, estimated that the
work wouldn't cost more than $400.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved
the building of storage space for the Clerk's North
County office and directed staff to come back with a
recommendation on the funding.

RE: Request for the adoption of County Ordinance Providing for
Collection of Unpaid Parking Tickets
Dear Ms. Eggert:
13
AUG 21 1990
AUG 211990
ROOK 81
As. you know, the City of ,Vero Beach has actively prosecuted
parking violations for some time. However, despite the City's
rigid enforcement of parking citations, certain violators have
been able to avoid payment. My staff has invested a substantial
amount of time in the so far futile attempt at collecting the
unpaid fines. Our research indicates that the court system may
order a violator to pay a penalty for unpaid tickets, but unlike
other traffic violations, the court cannot suspend the driver's
license of a person who fails to pay the court mandated fine.
The Florida Legislature has addressed this problem in
Section 316.1967(6), Florida Statutes, which provides that
counties may pass an ordinance requiring the clerk of the court
to supply the Florida State Department of Highway Safety and
Motor Vehicles with a computer tape listing persons who have
three or more outstanding parking violations. Such persons names
shall.be entered into the statewide computer system and they
shall not be permitted to renew their license plate or validation
stickers until providing proof that such fines were paid, as
provided in Section 320.03(8), Florida Statutes. The adoption of
such an ordinance would enable the City to collect a considerable
amount of lost revenue and prevent the unnecessary waste of staff
time in attempting to enforce the unpaid and overdue tickets.
Therefore, by this letter, the City of -Vero Beach Police
Department hereby requests that the Indian River County Board of
County Commissioners adopt an ordinance allowing for the
collection of unpaid parking tickets, as provided above. We will
be happy to assist you and your staff in preparation of such
ordinance and look forward to working with you on this matter.
Sincerely
(Chef,(V)B.P.J.
Chairman Eggert advised that Tax Collector Gene Morris is
out of town today. He has some problems with the proposed
ordinance and would like to discuss this with the Commission
before any decision is made.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously tabled this
item for next week when Tax Collector Gene Morris will
be able to attend the discussion and voice his
concerns.

AND STAFFED PROJECTS ENGIN
BY: DEPARTMENT O i SERVICES
BACKGROUND
The Utilities Department has completed the design and permitting and.
is in the process of bidding the aforementioned project.
Resolutions Nos. 1 and 2 have been approved by the Board of County
Commissioners. We are now bringing Resolution No. 3 to the Board
for - approval.
ANALYSIS
On July 24, 1990, the commissioners approved Resolutions Nos. 1 and
2, thus setting the time and place for public hearing to approve the
preliminary assessment. The total assessed cost is $208,373.00,
which equates to $0.179544137 per square foot.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners approve the attached Resolution No. 3,
setting the preliminary assessment in place.
Commissioner Scurlock asked staff to address the original
assessment roll, and Projects Engineer William McCain explained
that originally we had two-thirds of the existing homeowners in
Citrus Gardens, and now we have two-thirds of the property owners
as other signatures have trickled in over the time period after
the initial submission period of that petition. He noted that
there are a couple of modifications in the assessment roll that
need to be addressed. There is an 8 -ft. right-of-way on the back
16
of the lots on the west side of 42nd Court between 8th and 6th
Streets that is deeded to the County for that road, and we have
to eliminate that from the assessment roll. In addition, Lots 1,
2, and 3 of Block L have to be removed from this assessment
project because they hooked up to water about 4 years ago. At
that time we were not doing temporary water agreements that would
allow us to come back in and assess the people after the fact.
Those properties have been eliminated from this assessment, and
the Utilities Dept. will absorb that portion of the cost. Mr.
McCain emphasized that the final assessment probably will be
lower than the preliminary assessment, but in no way can it be
higher.
Attorney Vitunac advised that today is the day when the
Commission determines the amount of the assessment, after which
it cannot be increased no matter what the project costs.
Commissioner Scurlock asked if this is one of the sub-
divisions identified under the new Comp Plan with provisions for
undersized lots, and Mr. McCain confirmed that it is one of the
subdivisions projected for service within the next 3-5 years.
After the FY 90-91 budget is approved next month, they plan on
bringing that plan to the Board of approval.
Commissioner Bird asked what percentage of lots in the
subdivision are developed, and Mr. McCain advised that it is at
60-700. The largest assessment in the project is on Tract C,
between 42nd Avenue and 42nd Court, which is currently divided
into one parcel and two separate lots. That assessment will have
a heavy impact on the single property owner there.
Chairman Eggert opened the Public Hearing, and asked if
anyone wished to be heard in this matter.
Luther Higinson, 3920 7th Street in Citrus Groves was very
concerned about corrosion to plumbing fixtures due to the bad
quality of the water. He urged the Board to approve this
assessment and begin construction of this project.

other property owners of Citrus Groves who wish to stop the
installation of the county water system, along with 3 letters
written by people who have changed their minds about wanting the
system to go forward. PETITIONS AND LETTERS ARE ON FILE IN THE

Mr. Richardson explained that people began to change their
minds about having the project project because they have had no
problem with their wells. He stressed that they only got the
signatures of property owners, not renters.
Mr. McCain reiterated that originally two-thirds of the
owners of existing homes had signed the petition in favor of the
assessment for the water project, and since that time more have
been received.
Mr. Richardson next addressed the costs for the project, and
distributed copies of the following cost list they have worked

Commissioner Scurlock emphasized that the final assessment
roll usually comes in lower than the estimated cost. In any
event, it cannot exceed the estimated cost.
Mr. Richardson understood that the average homeowner would
be paying $3,000 to get water up to his house, and he felt that
this would be putting a heavy burden on people in this
subdivision.
Commissioner Scurlock advised that a 5 -year payment plan is
available at 12% interest for people who wish to go that route
rather than taking a loan from a bank.
Brenda Corum, 706 41st Avenue, asked if you can keep your
- well for irrigation purposes, and Commissioner Scurlock advised
that you can, but cautioned people to make sure when they hook up
that their potable water supply is separated from the well water.
Herman Cook, 636 41st Avenue, advised that he didn't go to
the first meeting because he felt $1700 was a fair assessment,
but he is now very concerned after receiving the letter saying
that there would be an impact fee along with the assessment.
Mr. McCain explained that at the time the petition was
circulated, they were quoted that the assessment would be from
$1,200-$3,000, and the letter also went on to say that this is
tied into the charge for taking water from the water main to the
meter box, which at the present time is $1,501.50. This charge
is a combination of the impact fee, ureteral installation fee, and
the $40 deposit for the water bills. This was set out in the
letter of July 15, 1990.
Commissioner Scurlock agreed that there is a lot of
confusion over the total cost of the assessment and having water
brought up to the house. He would like to have staff formulate a
better letter to advise people of what the bottom line is going
to be.
Mr. McCain assured Commissioner Scurlock that the letter
would be changed for future notices of assessments.
BOOK 81 PAGE 232

John Sawyer, 655 39th Avenue, asked for clarification on the
costs associated with the assessment, and Mr. McCain explained
that the only immediate charge you will be responsible for is the
assessment cost. Property owners will not have to pay the impact
fee, the water meter charge or the deposit on the water bills
until such time as they hook up. He advised that although the
County has an ordinance in place that makes it mandatory for
homes to hook up to water when it becomes available, it is not
enforced unless someone comes in and applies for a building
permit. The only type of permit that would be exempt from that
would be the reroofing of a home. If you build a driveway,
garage, utility shed, etc., you will be required to hook up to
water at that time
Mr. Higinson noted that when he and John Sawyer circulated
the original petition for the assessment, they made up a letter
and every property owner in Citrus Groves was contacted either in
person or by registered mail.
Dale Dunayczan, 646 40th Avenue, asked if he chose not to
hook up now, would the hookup cost increase in the future, and
Commissioner Scurlock explained that costs are adjusted according
to the construction cost index every year, and in all likelihood,
the impact fee will edge up. He didn't see any major increase in
the next 2 or 3 years, however. The other concern is whether
there will be capacity when you want to hook up, because there is
no guarantee that capacity will be there.
Mr. McCain advised that when the project was permitted, the
capacity was deducted out of our existing plant. People do not
have capacity until they have paid their impact fees, but as far
as our tracking records for a given plant, this water capacity
has been -taken into account.
Chairman Eggert asked if Mr. McCain was saying that we are
holding capacity for this area even though the project is not
paid for, and Mr. McCain said that he was not saying that. He is
saying that it is used in the tracking by the regulatory agencies.

but
it does not necessarily mean that will
coincide with
our
tracking or the exact capacity of the plant.
Chairman Eggert understood then that if owners want to hook
up in 5 or 6 years, they are not guaranteed capacity unless they
have paid their impact fees, and Mr. McCain confirmed that.
Mr. Dunayczan understood then that basically he would be
foolish not to hook up now for $1,500 if this goes through, and
Commissioner Scurlock confirmed that it would be best to hook up
when the project is completed and the water capacity is
available. When you pay your impact fee, you guarantee capacity.
Bernadina Guy, 4225 7th Place, owner of 3 lots in Block C,
questioned what her assessment would be if that parcel was
divided into 6 single lots.
Commissioner Wheeler explained that the assessment is based
on square footage, not the number of lots. He noted that with
the availability of water, the value of her parcel would increase
if she were to subdivide into 6 lots.
Commissioner Bird asked Attorney Vitunac if Mrs. Guy could
subdivide the balance of Block C if she came in today to do that,
but Attorney Vitunac was reluctant to say so without the Planning
Director looking at it. However, in looking at the rest of the
neighborhood, it would seem like she could. In the meantime, she
would pay only one impact fee for the one residence on the
property, and be assessed for the water project on the basis of
square footage of the property, not the number of lots. If she
had 6 lots, she would have to pay 6 impact fees.
James Boyette, 736 42nd Avenue, felt it is unfair for Mrs.
Guy to pay such a high assessment when she only has one dwelling
on that tract.
Fred Lipton of 39th Avenue was concerned about the effect of
the salt from the water softener on his high blood pressure, and
urged the Board to approve the assessment and go forward on the
project for medical reasons.
W 22
Mr. Richardson came up again and pointed out that many of
the property owners didn't receive the initial letter sent out by
the Utilities Dept. When they went door to door, many of the
people said they hadn't known of the assessment until they
received the letter of notification of this meeting.
Mr. McCain stated that several letters were returned as
undeliverable, and they sent them back out again using the
addresses listed on the Property Appraiser's assessment roll.
Dorothy Mislick, 656 42nd Court, pointed out a discrepancy
in the address on the notice of assessment sent to her.
R.C. Snyder, 635 41st Avenue, was not in favor of the water
project, and wanted to see another letter go out on how many
others are against it after finding out that they have to pay the
impact fee as well as the assessment.
Bob Renton, 745 41st Avenue, explained that he has lived
there 25 years and his well is in good condition. His main
concern is about the County implementing a surcharge on the
gallons of water used. He felt this was just another tax.
Attorney Vitunac advised that it is a franchise fee, not a
surcharge. The County does not have the ability to put on a
surcharge, and Commissioner Scurlock explained that there is a 60
franchise fee on al_I utilities in the county.
Pamela Rudd, 786 42nd Court was all for the water project,
but she didn't approve of the high prices and felt the system
could be put in at a much lower cost.
Joseph Richardson, 620 42nd Court, explained that he had
water problems with his original well which was down only 53
feet. He had to drill another well which goes down 91 feet, and
now his water is good. He felt the builders won't go deep enough
unless you insist on it.
Fred Lipton returned to say that his driller went down 100
feet and the water quality wasn't as good as it was at 50 feet.
He didn't agree that the well drillers do not try to go deep
AUG 211990 23 WK��,
enough to get good water, and Commissioner Scurlock noted that
there is a trade-off with quality and quantity of water.
There being no others who wished to be heard, the Chairman
closed the Public Hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Wheeler, the Board adopted Resolution
90-93, confirming the special assessments in connection
with a water distribution system located in Citrus
Gardens and providing for special assessment liens to
be made of record.

SUBJECT: RENCORP INC.'S REQUEST FOR CONCEPTUAL PRD APPROVAL FOR
COQUINA PRD
It is requested that the' data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of August 21, 1990.
BACKGROUND AND CONDITIONS:
Rencorp Inc, owner, is requesting conceptual PRD plan special
exception approval for a 301 unit, three phase development. The
subject property is located immediately south of the Sea Oaks
development. The property stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the
Indian River.
Special exception uses are those types of uses that would not
generally be appropriate throughout a particular zoning district.
However, when special exception uses are carefully controlled as
- - to number, area, location, and/or relationship to the vicinity,
such uses would not adversely impact the public health,
safety,comfort, good order, appearance, convenience, morals and
general welfare and as such would be compatible with permitted uses
within the particular zoning district. In granting any special
exception, the Board may prescribe appropriate special conditions
and safeguards to ensure that the use is compatible with
surrounding uses in the district.
The Planning and Zoning Commission at its July 12th meeting voted
unanimously (6-0) to recommend that the Board of County
Commissioners grant PRD special exception approval for the project.
The Planning and Zoning Commission also granted preliminary PRD
plan approval for Phase I of the project, subject to the Board
granting approval to the entire project.
The approval steps in the PRD process are as follows:
Approval Needed Reviewing Bodv

2. Preliminary PRD P&ZC
3. Land Development Permits Staff
4. Final PRD (plat) B.C.C.

Phasing Construction
The applicant is proposing to construct 301 units in three separate
phases with total project completion slated for 1996. The
applicant has submitted a phase I Preliminary PRD application in
conjunction with the conceptual plan application for the entire
project.
The applicant is proposing to construct two basic types of units.
A villa unit, which will be a zero lot line product, and a single
family unit which will be a more conventional detached product.
ANALYSIS (Conceptual and Phase I Plans):
1. Size of Development Area: Entire Project: 106.83 acres
Phase I: 30.37 acres
2. Zoning Classification: RM -6 Residential Multi Family (up to
6 units per acre); existing and proposed.
Note: A portion of the subject property is zoned A-1, it is
anticipated this property will be rezoned to RM -6 at the
August 7, 1990 Board of County Commissioners meeting.
3. Land Use Designation: L-2 Low Density Residential (up to 6
units per acre)
4. Proposed Density: Entire Project: 301 units at 2.8 units per
acre
Phase I: 64 units at 2.11 units per
acre
5. Surrounding Land Uses:
North: Sea Oaks
South: Vacant/Town of Indian River Shores
East: Atlantic Ocean
West: Indian River
6. Open Space Required: 53.42 acres or 50%
Provided: 53.42 acres or 50%
Phase I Required: 15.19 acres or 508
Provided: 15.19 acres or 50%
7. Recreation Open Space Required: 3.61 acres
Provided: 3.79 acres
Phase I Required: .77 acres
Provided: 1.66 acres
8. Proposed Utilities; The County Utilities department has
approved the conceptual water and sewer plans. The project
will be serviced by County water and sewer services.
9. Traffic Circulation: The proposed development will have a
single entry road from A.1.A. to service the western portion
of the project. The roadway will branch -off and provide
access to the entire portion of the western development. In
addition, near the northeast corner of the project there will
be an emergency access drive from S.R. A.1.A. to the project's
internal "loop" road.
The two parcels on the east side of S.R. A.1.A which are
separated by the Grand Harbor beach club site will both have
entry roads from S.R. A.1.A. All roads will have a minimum
50' wide road right-of-way. The traffic layout has been
approved by the public works department.
29 1n1r Pk PJB
AUG?1 1990
AUG 21199®
10. Landscape: A 25' buffer will be provided along all project
boundaries. A type "A" buffer is required along project
boundaries where roads are adjacent to the project boundary.
For individual lots, one tree per two thousand square feet of
green area will be required. In most cases, existing
vegetation will be preserved to meet this requirement. Any
landscaping beyond the county's requirements will.be at the
developer's discretion.
11. Drainage: The conceptual drainage plan has been approved by
the Public Works department. This plan includes wet
stormwater retention and planted littoral zones which will be
more specifically addressed during preliminary PRD plan review
and land development permit review. All relevant county
requirements will be applied during those reviews.
12. Environmental Concerns: The site consists mostly of native
vegetation with some exotics on the western portion of the
project. This project is subject to the County's native
vegetation set aside requirement. The applicant is proposing
to meet the set aside requirement by preserving vegetation in
the 25' perimeter setback, portions of the common area and in
preservation areas covering 15% of each --lot.
The removal of all exotic species on-site is required, except
in the Jungle Trail buffer. No vegetation is to be disturbed
in the Jungle Trail buffer (30' in width).
13. Road Names: The applicant is requesting the use of road names
for this project. The Planing and Zoning Commission has
historically approved the use of road names on the barrier
island. Based upon past decisions and the precedent set by
the county for beach projects, the staff has no objection to
the use of road names for this project, with the condition
that all road names are approved by the 911 technician to
avoid duplication of existing names.
14. Jungle Trail: Jungle Trail runs through the western edge of
this project, creating a small portion of property riverward
of Jungle Trail. The staff has not examined the amount of
property riverward of Jungle Trail to determine useability.
The applicant is not proposing to construct anything riverward
of Jungle Trail and is not proposing to remove any vegetation
within the Jungle Trail 30' protected buffer area.
15. Archaeologic Concerns: The western portion the project is of
archaeologic concern to the Division of Historic Resources.
The applicant has agreed to conduct an archeological
investigation of the site.
16. Dedication and Improvements: Pursuant to findings and
conclusions of the required traffic impact analysis that was
performed by the applicant's consultant and approved by the
county traffic engineer, the applicant has agreed to the
following dedication and improvements:
1. Dedicate 20' of right-of-way for State Road A.1.A., if
traffic impact fee or other compensation is available,
prior to or at the time of final plat approval for phase
I; and
2. Construct a left turn and deceleration lane at the
project entrance prior to the issuance of a certificate
of occupancy. In addition, provisions for an 8' bikeway
required along the site's S.R. A.l.A. frontage are
required prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy.

M M
17. The following waivers and PRD options are being requested by
the applicant:
a. A minimum lot size reduction from 7,000 square feet to
4,500 square feet.
b. A reduction in the minimum road frontage requirement from
70' to 45'
c. A reduction in the minimum road right-of-way width from
60' to 501.
d. A reduction in the front and rear yard setbacks from 25'
to 20' and a reduction in the sideyard setback from 15'
to zero on one side and 10' on the other side to a
habitable structure. In no instance will any development
encroach into the required 25' perimeter buffer or into
the preserve areas.
e. A cut and fill waiver.
f. An increase in the allowable percentage of individual lot
coverage from 30% to 50%.
g. The ability to provide 50% open space over the entire
. project, as opposed to individual lots alone.
County staff have reviewed these proposed waivers and have no
objection to the granting of the requested waivers.
Note: The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that
waiver 17d permit a zero sideyard setback on one side and a
15' sideyard setback on the other, after assurances from the
applicant's engineer that this condition would accommodate the
applicant's project. However, after subsequent discussion
with the project design engineer these setbacks will not
accommodate the proposed development design. Waiver 17d has
been changed to reflect the project design engineer's latest
request. The staff has no objection to granting the waiver
as requested.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends:
1. That the Board of County Commissioners grant conceptual PRD
special exception approval for Rencorp, including the cited
waivers, subject to the following conditions:
A. That all improvements and dedications referenced in the
improvements and dedications section of the staff report
be completed at the time specified in the staff report.
B. That the applicant be allowed to use street names and
that all street names used must be approved by the

Planning Director Stan Boling advised that the engineer on
the project is working with County staff on the expansion of the
Sea Oaks wastewater plant on the northern boundary. When the
wastewater plant expansion comes through for site plan.approval,
it will be required to provide buffering where it is adjacent to
residential property , and the Coquina project is also required
to provide buffering through the PRD process. For instance, they
are providing the 25 -ft. setback and buffering area adjacent to
this. Under the new Land Development Regulations and the present
policies, the property owners can work together to to use that as
one buffering area, and it is our understanding that the
- applicant is willing to do that and will be working that out with
the County Planning staff.
Commissioner Bird questioned the wisdom of not having any
vegetation disturbed in the 30 -ft. width setback along Jungle
Trail, and felt we should be encouraging developers to remove the
exotic vegetation, such as Brazilian pepper trees and Australian
pines, and replace it with native vegetation.
Community Development Director Bob Keating advised that the
Jungle Trail Management Plan provides for the removal of exotics
there when there is a plan to revegetate with native vegetation.
It isn't a total prohibition of removal of pepper trees and
Australian pines there; it is just that there is no overall
requirement to go in and remove them from that area as there is
for the rest of the project.
Commissioner Bird didn't see anything in staff's
recommendation that really encourages the developer to go into
that area and replace the exotics with other vegetation that we
would find more desirable. He would like to see us encourage
that along there.
Director Keating felt we may want to do that because it is
an overall objective of the management plan and that could be
added as a condition here.
32
Commissioner Bird didn't want to say that we should require
them to do it, but we certainly should encourage them to do it.
He felt the developer would want to in order to enhance the
attractiveness of the property, especially the way those pepper
trees and pines look now after last winter's freeze. He would
like to see us -incorporate that in there somehow.
Commissioner Scurlock also preferred to encourage it rather
than require it, and the other Commissioners indicated their
agreement.
Commissioner Bowman felt the archaeological investigation
should be conducted by someone with no less than a doctorate in
archaeology, not just some pot hunter who comes along.
Director Boling noted that by the time the project design
comes through for that western portion, we will have our new
chapter in place on archaeological resources and who is
qualified.
Darrell McQueen, engineer on the development, explained that
the plan calls for one tree per 2000 square feet. Two-thirds of
the location is still in natural oak hammock, and they will be
following the ordinance in regard to the setback requirements.
County Utilities Director Terry Pinto has inquired about some
additional land in.the northeast corner of the project of the
expansion of the Sea Oaks treatment plant, but he is away this
week and they will be in contact with him about that. He advised
that the archaeological survey of the has been completed and the
reports will be submitted to staff next week. The survey was
conducted by Dr. Storm Richards along with consultant Dr. Sears,
and he felt sure Commissioner Bowman was familiar with both men.
Mr. McQueen next addressed the waivers on the sideyard
setback.' At the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting they had
asked for a waiver for a 15 -ft. sideyard setback on one side and
zero on the other. What they meant to ask for is a waiver for a
10 -ft. sideyard setback on one side and zero on the other. That
is now included in staff's recommendation today, and they
33
op d
LU G 211990
AUG 211990
respectfully ask that the Board approve the 10 -ft. and zero side
yard setback. He wished to pointed out that the 10 -ft. setback
is for the habitable part of the structure with a garage being
able to be moved to within 3 feet of that side lot line. It is
much like the Indian River Shores courtyard home concept. In
this first preliminary PRD, the mixture of units are 8000 s.f.
lots in the courtyard home concept and 15,000-18,000 s.f. lots in
the single family concept, and these concepts have been separated
into their little communities. They anticipate going on through
with this type of concept as the market dictates, but they feel
the market will be more for courtyard homes.
Commissioner Scurlock urged them to coordinate with
Utilities on the expansion site for the wastewater plan there
because it could result in some substantial savings and
flexibility for future expansion.
Mr. McQueen advised that they picked up that site plan from
staff yesterday and have looked at it. Although they have tennis
courts planned for that area in their preliminary PRD, they are
looking at moving those courts to another location. He has
discussed this with staff and they will work with the County in
providing the additional property that the County needs up there.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously granted
conceptual approval of the Coquina PRD, subject to the
conditions as set out in the above staff
recommendation, and encouraged the developer to
revegetate with native plants.

MOSQUITO CONTROL - FELLSMERE AND VERO LAKES ESTATES
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 8/17/90:
TO: Members of the Board
of County Commissioners
DATE: August 17, 1990
SUBJECT: MOSQUITO CONTROL - MISACME AND
VERO LAKES ESTATES
EMERGENCY ITEM
FROM: Joseph A. Baird
OMB Director
DESCRIPTION OF CONDITIONS
Within the last few days Indian River County has been put on an alert for St. Louis
Encephalitis, carried by the Culex nigripalpus mosquito. The Indian River County Mosquito
Control District has offered to extend its spraying area to populated areas of Fellsmere and
Vero Lakes Estates. The county would have to bear the costs for the spraying, which is
estimated at $600.00 per treatment for up to 8 treatments (for a total of $4,800) through
the transmission season. It is not anticipated that aerial spraying will be necessary at this
time; however if it appears that it is needed costs could be three times this amount.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve funding for spraying
for the Culex nigripalpus mosquito in Fellsmere and Vero Lakes Estates.
Administrator Chandler advised that the Mosquito Control
District is looking to us to pick up the expense of providing the
additional spraying for Felismere and Vero Lake Estates inasmuch
as it is not covered by the District. They estimate that
sprayings will be done twice per month up until sometime in
November, perhaps 6 sprayings in all for a total of $4800. If
there is'an increased problem with the illness, there is a
potential for aerial spraying.
John Beidier, Director of the Indian River Mosquito Control
District, confirmed that the Fellsmere area has asked to be
35

BOGK 81 Fr` r
brought into the Mosquito Control District and that they are in
the process of drawing the boundary lines now to include them and
the rest of the county that needs to be brought in.
Commissioner Scurlock asked if that would include.the Vero
Lake Estates area, and Mr. Beidler confirmed that it would.
Administrator Chandler recommended that the costs be paid
out of the general fund contingencies rather than the MSTU.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by
Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously
approved the funding for spraying for the Culex
nigripalpus mosquito in Fellsmere and Vero Lake
Estates, as recommended by staff.
RESOLUTION REAUTHORIZING IMPOSITION OF COUNTY -WIDE E911 FEE FOR
RECURRING AND NON-RECURRING CHARGES OF E911 SYSTEM
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 8/15/90:
TO: Board of County, Commissioners
FROM: Doug Wright, D ector
Emergency Management Services
DATE: August 15, 1990
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION REAUTHORIZING IMPOSITION OF
COUNTYWIDE E911 FEE FOR RECURRING AND NON-RECURRING
CHARGES OF E911 SYSTEM
It is respectfully requested that the information contained herein
be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners
at the next scheduled meeting.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
The Florida Legislature in 1987 passed legislation entitled "The
Florida Emergency Telephone Act", which permits county governments
to impose an E911 fee on all residential and business telephone
lines to pay for recurring and non-recurring charges associated
with the operation of the E911 system with a cap of $.50. The act
authorizes Southern Bell Telephone Company to retain an
administrative fee equal to one percent (1%) of the total fee
collected for the County.
36
In FY 89-90, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners
approved imposition of the $.50 fee per line per month to fund the
recurring and non-recurring charges related to operation of the two
Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP) in the County. The split
approved by the Florida Division of Communications and the County
for the year was $.44 recurring and $.06 non-recurring.
The law provides that the Florida Department of General Services,
Division of Communications, must annually review support
documentation contained on COM FORM X with attachments submitted
by the E911 Coordinator. The necessary documentation has been
submitted to the Division of Communications for FY 90-91 and
approval was received in the form of a letter dated August 3, 1990,
for a $.48 fee on telephone access lines with a split of $.44 for
recurring cost and $.04 for non-recurring costs.
The matter is now before the Board of County Commissioners for
approval of the Resolution required to impose the E911 fee for FY
90-91.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS:
It is estimated that $330,500 will be generated by the $.48 E911
surcharge. It is anticipated that $251,000 will be utilized for
recurring costs and $29,500 for non-recurring expenses with a
contingency of $50,000.
As stated above, approval has been received from the Division of
Communications to levy the fee for the next fiscal year. If
approved by the Board of County Commissioners, the Resolution will
be forwarded to Southern Bell Telephone Company so that the fee
will be implemented effective October 1, 1990.
The surcharge is a small fee to pay for the level of service
provided to the populace wherein each citizen is assured of a
timely response protecting life and property on a twenty-four hour
basis. For the twelve month period, the cost for the average
resident with one phone line is $5.76.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Resolution imposing the recurring
and non-recurring E911 system surcharge with a $.48 fee for the
next fiscal year with a split of $.44 for recurring expenses and
$.04 for non-recurring expenses.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved
staff's recommendation and adopted Resolution 90-94,
providing for the establishment of a county -wide "E911"
telephone fee to pay for recurring and non-recurring
charges, etc.

COMMUNICATION CABLE FROM ADMIN. BLDG. TO HEALTH DEPT. BLDG.
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 8/10/90:
DATE: AUGUST 10, 1990
TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
THRU: JAMES E. CHANDLER
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: H.T. "SONNY" DEAN, DIRECTO
DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICE
SUBJECT: COMMUNICATION CABLE
ADMINISTRATION BUILDING TO HEALTH DEPARTMENT BUILDING
BACKGROUND:
With construction for the new Health Department Building, there will
be a need for telephone and data communications between that
structure and the County Administration Building. We are presently
leasing telephone company lines to accommodate the various needs.
This leasing should continue in the new building. It is estimated
that our cost for leased lines will be a minimum of $1,800.00 per
year when occupancy is established in the new building.
It is proposed that we install a fifty (50) pair communications cable
between the new building and our Administration Building that will
enable us to take advantage of our telephone switching equipment to
meet the telephone and data requirements for the Health Department
Building. The construction of such a cable would be designed so as
to include the Purchasing Warehouse and its communication needs. We
are presently leasing three (3) lines to that facility at a cost of
$922.00 per year. The proposed cable would eliminate that cost,
also.
ANALYSIS:
With construction to began on 26th Street and 19th Avenue within the
next four (4) weeks, I feel quick action should be taken to initiate
the cable project in order for proper sleeveing to be installed under
the streets.
FUNDING•
It is estimated that cost to install such a cable would be less than
$10,000.00. Monies for this project would come from the construction
budget of the Health Department Building project.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends the above described communications cable be
installed. Since the construction cost exceeds the minimum bid
amount and time is of the essence due to street construction, it is
requested that staff be granted permission to take quotes for the
project and begin installation as soon as possible.

DATE: August 10, 1990
-----------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
Land Development Permit No. 081 was issued on February 5, 1990 to
Sandforest Corporation to construct a 15.1 acre, 88 lot
subdivision. Sandforest P.R.D. is located south of 5th Street SW
between 6th Avenue SW and Old Dixie Highway. Sandforest
Corporation has submitted a written request for an extension of
the permit. Because construction has not started, the permit
expired on August 5, 1990, 180 days after the approval date.
LTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
The Utilities Services Department staff has indicated that the
project's current Utilities Construction Permits for water
distribution, and wastewater collection and transmission would not
need any modifications for an extension of the Land Development
Permit.
The Community Development Department staff has requested that the
following two conditions of the concurrently expired Land
Clearing and Tree Removal Permits be included as conditions of
the extension of the Land Development Permit:
1. Areas to be preserved or cleared shall be clearly staked and
verified by county environmental planning staff prior to
clearing commencement.
2. Debris shall be removed to an approved disposal facility or
burned with Division of Forestry approval.
The Land Clearing and Tree Removal Permits would automatically be
extended with the Land Development Permit. The three original
conditions of the February 5, 1990 Land Development Permit
approval would also apply to the extension.

STATUS OF CR -512 WIDENING IMPROVEMENTS
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 8/8/90:
------------------------------------------------------------
TO: James Chandler
County Administrator DATE: August 8, 1990
FROM: James W. Davis, P.E.
Public Works Director.
SUBJECT: CR 512 Widening Improvements
Status
------------------------------------------------------ ------
Recent inquiries have been made by North County residents on the
status of the CR 512 Widening Project through the City of
Sebastian. Staff has been requested to provide an update on the
status of the project and to document past decisions on the
proposed Twin Pairs Alignment through the eastern portion of the
project.
HISTORY OF PROJECT
1985 County purchased the 100' wide Gulf and Western
Railroad right-of-way through a four mile segment
of the City of Sebastian for approximately
$200,000.
1985 County Traffic Engineering Staff conducted an
Intersection Study of CR 512/U.S.1 intersection
that recommended a Twin Pairs alignment for
widening CR 512 along the easterly 3000' section
of the project, similar to the F.D.O.T. SR -60 Twin
Pairs Project scheduled for construction in 1990.
August - October 1985
The North Indian River County Businessmen's
Association, Inc. and Orange Heights Property
Owners Association objected to the Twin Pairs
Alignment and requested an Economic Study of the
alternatives.
October 1985
Indian River County Public Works Department
conducted an Economic Feasibility Study on -the
cost to implement, 1) the Twin Pairs Alignment, 2)
to widen the existing CR 512 roadway, and 3) to
construct a new four lane road in the railroad
right-of-way. A presentation was made to the
North County Businessman's Associations monthly
luncheon meeting by James W. Davis.
September 1986
County Staff sent letters to property owners
fronting the existing CR 512 roadway asking their
opinion on the feasibility of exchanging fronting
portions of the County owned railroad right-of-way
for additional right-of-way along the property
owners CR 512 frontage. Most property owners
objected to exchanging land with the County.
March 1987
Staff recommended to the Transportation Planning
Committee that a consultant be retained to study
the three options of widening CR 512. The Board
of County Commissioners approved this study and
appointed Mayor Harris of Sebastian on the
Consultant Selection Committee.
September 27, 1988
._ County Staff transmitted a copy of Consultant's
Study to City Manager Rob McClary.
December 5, 1988
Public Works Director attended City of Sebastian
City Council meeting to discuss and receive input
on CR 512 Corridor and Thoroughfare Plan.
December 28, 1988
Staff transmitted comments received at the
Sebastian City Council Meeting to consultant for
incorporation into the project.
February, 1989
City Manager McClary transmitted to the County,
City of Sebastian Resolution R-88-77 approving the,
CR 512 Traffic Study.
November 1, 1989
Status Report sent to City Manager Robert McClary.
February 9, 1990
Letters received from City of Sebastian Staff
regarding new railroad crossing for CR 512 Twin
Pairs Alignment.
June 5, 1990
The Board of County Commissioners instructed staff
to continue negotiations with the F.E.C. Railway
Co. so that a new railroad crossing can be obtained
at the proposed westbound alignment without giving
up three other crossings in the County.

From the above history, Staff has received and responded to
public input in the North County area. As evidenced by City of
Sebastian Resolution R-88-77, the City is supporting the Twin
Pairs Alignment.
The current status of the project is that the County's
consultant, Kimball/Lloyd, Inc. is currently splitting the
project into two phases. Phase One will include widening CR 512
west of the Pelican Island Elementary School (west of the Twin
Pairs section) and will be implemented as soon as possible.
Phase Two will include constructing the new westbound lanes
within the railroad right-of-way along the Twin Pairs Alignment.
Since the railroad crossing issue is still unresolved, a schedule
for the Phase Two work has not been established. Staff is
currently negotiating with the F.E.C. Railway Co. and Florida
D.O.T. staff
Please contact me if you wish to discuss this project.

Dear Mr. Davis:
The North County Businessmen's Association has always
endorsed the 512 road renewal program (expansion) to remain
on the original road right-of-way.
We now even more would like the twin pairs concept
changed over to a single right-of-way crossing -at the
present corner.
Please.proceed with the concept so we can start this
project in the near future.
Sincere ,
Earl D. Witherby

Public Works Director Jim Davis explained that because of
the FEC's resistance to a new crossing, some consideration has
been given to widening the existing roadway all the way to U.S.
#1. However, that would mean purchasing expensive right-of-way
and a delay of the project.
County Engineer Roger Cain advised that he has been commu-
nicating with both the DOT and the FEC about the new crossing,
and regardless of which alignment we go with, we still have to
negotiate with the railroad. The railroad is indicating that we
would have to give up 3 crossings for one, and we are continuing
to negotiate that. The County may have to go to an
administrative hearing with the FEC to settle the issue over a
new crossing, and the DOT is acting as an intermediary between
the County and FEC in the negotiations.
Commissioner Bird still had a problem giving up three
existing crossings for one new crossing, and Commissioner
Scurlock believed it is most likely that the County will have to
settle the issue at a hearing since the railroad has taken a
position that they don't want to give anything up.
Mr. Cain advised that the DOT is going to take this back to
some committee for long-range planning to see what recommendation
they would make. We do need some decision from the DOT,
preferably one in our favor, so that we can go forward.
Carl Fischer, north county resident, questioned the
feasibility of going ahead with the twin pairs project when the
County has been working with the railroad for 6 years now and
hasn't come to any agreement. He felt the main goal should be to
get 4 lanes in there to relieve the congestion.
Director Davis pointed out that it was only 5 years ago when
the County purchased the 100 -ft. wide right-of-way strip from
Gulf S Western Railroad for approximately $200,000. He felt the
twin pairs design especially with the 900 -ft. separation between
the two legs, is a superior design and that it will work real
well.
49
AUG 2 11990
AUG 211990
BOU 81 5"V,
Commissioner Wheeler felt the Sebastian City Council should
initiate some action of its own to help get the crossing.
Commissioner Bird felt that people believe that the split
pair design is causing the delay and that the project would go
ahead faster if it was a single road design.
Director Davis believed that people don't realize that we
still would have to negotiate with the railroad in any case
because of the need to widen the roadway at the crossing or
getting a new crossing.
Commissioner Bird felt the answer today is to direct staff
to pursue the plan we have and push this matter to a
determination.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously directed
staff to move ahead on the twin pairs design and
expedite this as rapidly as possible to get a decision
and force a #120 hearing if necessary.
PHASE IV INDIAN RIVER BOULEVARD - RIGHT-OF-WAY PURCHASE - THOMAS
KENNEDY
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 8/14/90:
TO: James E. Chandler,
County Administrator
THROUGH: James W. Davis, P.E.,
Public Works Director
FROM: Terry B. Thompson, P.E.,,�j
Capital Projects Manager
•SUBJECT: Indian River Boulevard IV
Right -of -Way Purchase - Thomas Kennedy
DATE: August 14, 1990 FILE: kennedy.agn
DESCRIPTION AND
On November 7, 1989, the Board of County Commissioners
authorized the purchase of the Kennedy parcel for $130,000
and $5,200 for attorney fees.
50
M M M
On August 13, 1990, the attorney representing the Thomas
Kennedy Estate, B.T. Cooksey, contacted staff with an offer
to sell the Kennedy parcel for the sum total of $165,000.
This total includes the following:
- 3.389 acres of right-of-way for Indian River
Boulevard
- 1.07 acre east uneconomic remainder, including all
severance damages
- all citrus trees within adjacent temporary
construction easements
- all severance damages to the west remaining property
- all incidentals as may apply except attorney's fees,
engineering fees, documentary stamps and title
insurance -
A condition of this sale is that it must be accomplished by
September 1, 1990.
The cost breakdown for the Kennedy parcel is as follows:
Sum total price $ 165,000
Attorney Fee 9,900
Recording Expenses 1,000
Title Insurance 900
Contingency 1,000
Total $ 177,800
A contingency has been included because closing documents
have not been finalized as of this date. Staff recommends
that the Board's authorization include this contingency to
cover any unforeseen costs to the county that may arise.
Carter Associates, Inc., have communicated with the county
on behalf of the property owners to insure that the road
design will not adversely impact the remaining land. The
property owners request that we pay engineering fees in the
amount of $1,194 to Carter Associates.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
Staff recommends that the Chairman be authorized to execute
the Contract to purchase right-of-way parcels from the
estate of Thomas Kennedy.
Staff also requests that the Board authorize payment of
engineering fees from Carter Associates.
Funding to be from account #309-214-541-066.12 Indian River
Boulevard North Right -of -Way.
Public Works Director Jim Davis advised that there has been
a change in the counteroffer made by the Kennedy family. They do
not want to include the 1.07 acre on the economic remainder in
the $177,000 price.
In addition, they want to move up the
51
�aJl)r� � ►'�C(;
r-AUG 211990
closing by one week.
ROOK FFAGFl
If we were to deduct a whole acre, it would
increase the cost by $65,000 as opposed to our appraised value.
In discussing the counteroffer with their attorney, B. T.
Cooksey, staff indicated that we felt it was quite a bi.g
difference from our appraised value to what the Kennedy's want
for their 3.4 acres and that we didn't feel comfortable in
recommending that the Board spend $65,000 more than the appraised
value. Mr. Cooksey said he would communicate our concern to the
Kennedy family. Director Davis explained that this is one of 4
parcels remaining to complete the right-of-way acquisition for
Phase IV of the Boulevard.
Commissioner Bird understood that we have the options of
accepting their proposal, going to condemnation or continuing to
negotiate.
Commissioner Bird didn't feel comfortable with paying the
increase over and above the appraised value in the first place,
and sure didn't feel comfortable now with paying it if they are
going to remove a whole acre from the parcel.
Director Davis didn't have a problem with the recommendation
as proposed today, and Administrator Chandler explained that
after looking at the counteroffer yesterday of pulling out that
acreage, staff feels that the price should be reduced, and, if it
is not reduced, then staff recommends going with condemnation.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by
Commissioner Scurlock, that the Board authorize staff
to convey our position to the Kennedy family that they
can either accept this as presented by staff and sell
us the 1.07 acres at the price we have agreed to pay;
or deduct that acreage and keep it and the County would
pay whatever the reduced price would be based on the
appraised value of that 1.07 acres; and, if they don't
choose to accept either one of those two options, we
will go to condemnation.
52
Under discussion, Attorney Collins explained that if the
Kennedy's think that one acre is worth more than the $23,000 that
it is appraised at, they still can try to sell it to Grand Harbor
for more. He felt the Board has given them all the direction
they need.
Chairman Eggert understood that the total appraised value is
$132,304 while the asking price is $165,000, but asked if that is
only glued onto one part of it.
Director Davis explained that the $165,000 does not include
the 1.07 economic remainder, and Commissioner Bird figured that
the amount we would deduct for the 1.07 acres would be $26,273
plus the time adjustment.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion
was voted on and carried unanimously.
SOUTH COUNTY REVERSE OSMOSIS PLANT EXPANSION, WORK AUTH. #10 WITH

BY: DEPARTMENT OF Y SERVICES
SUBJECT: SOUTH COUNTY REVERSE OSMOSIS PLANT EXPANSION,
WORK AUTHORIZATION NO. 10 WITH CAMP DRESSER & MCKEE
BACKGROUND
On June 5,, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners
executed a contract with Inscho-Kerlin for expansion of the South
County Reverse Osmosis Plant. The contract was in the amount of
$3,210,000.00. However, we will now have to add a Change Order of
approximately $200,000.00 for the construction of a brine treatment
system (per the DER). This change will make the total construction
cost approximately $3,410,000.0.0. We now wish to bring Work
Authorization No. 9 with Camp Dresser & McKee (CDM) to the Board of
County Commissioners for approval. The Work Authorization covers
several areas of service (see attached Work Authorization No. 9).

ANALYSIS
The list of costs and services to be provided are as follows:
1. General Services During Construction
Provide progress meetings, review shop drawings, 'review pay
estimates, prepare change orders, general project management
CDM costs $107,380
outside consultants 15.000
Total $122,380
2. Resident Inspection Services
Provide resident inspection as required, prepare daily reports,
assist engineering staff with pay requests
CDM total costs $60,030
3. Special Services During Construction
Due to a request by the Department of Environmental Regulation,
a brine treatment facility must now be designed and constructed
CDM total costs $28,980
Considering the necessitated-t:btal redesign of the plant, which was
due to litigation over the originally -specified membrane, and
extensive permitting requirements by the DER, the total engineering
cost from CDM and outside consultants is $387,224.00 (approximately
11% of the final construction cost), which is a reasonable price.
Funds for this project will come from Account No.
472-000-169-041.00.
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners approve the attached Work
Authorization with Camp Dresser & McKee.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved
Work Auth. #10 with Camp Dresser & McKee, as
recommended by staff.

BACKGROUND `
On July 10, 1990, the Utilities Department received authorization from
the Board of County Commissioners to negotiate fees for the
above-mentioned project. We have negotiated with the No. 1
short-listed firm, Masteller and Moler Associates, Inc. We now wish to
bring Work Authorization 90W-1 with Masteller and Moler Associates,
Inc., for the aforementioned work to the Board for approval.
ANALYSIS
The project initially was started by the City -County square -off for
service areas; i.e., 12th Street. Since the project was started,
petitions for four streets south of 12th Street have been received.
Because of these petitions, we have expanded the job to cover the area
between 23rd and and 27th Avenue on the east and west, and 8th and 12th
Streets on the north and south (see attached service area map). The
estimated construction cost is $1,127,800.00, and the engineering fees
are to be set at $70•,000.00 for design and $20,300.00 for inspection
services. These fees relate to 6.2.% for engineering and 1.8% for
inspection services, which are acceptable.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners approve Work Authorization 90W-1 with
Masteller and Moler Associates, Inc.

UNWANTED THINGS TOSSED IN YARDS & DRIVEWAYS

DATE: August 9, 1990 FILE:
SUBJECT:
Unwanted things tossed
in yards & driveways
FROM: Alice E. white REFERENCES:
Admin. Secretary. II
Mr. Van Nuise, 3017 Golfview Drive, Vero Beach, called this
morning complaining about unwanted advertisements and newspapers
that.are tossed into the yards or driveways of homes.
He said it is bad enough to have to continually pick these things
up when he is home; however, when he is gone away, he has no
control over it and it soon becomes apparent that the house is
vacant.
He asked that the Commissioners pass some type of ordinance
stating that this trash cannot be delivered to homes whose owners
have not signed a statement saying they wish to receive it.
Commissioner Scurlock suggested that we authorize the County _.
Attorney to draft appropriate legislation based on the Vero Beach
ordinance which has worked quite well.
Attorney Vitunac advised that will come under Title III, and
will read that anybody who doesn't want those items tossed on
their driveways or yards will have to send a letter to the
publisher stating that they do not want it. After that it
becomes litter for which the publisher is liable.
Commissioner Wheeler understood then that when people
complain, they can be informed that they can write a letter to
the publisher stating that they don't want the item, and then the
publisher can be cited for littering and pay a $100 fine or
whatever.

Attorney Vitunac confirmed that is how it would work. He
noted that he and Terry O'Brien had written the Vero Beach
ordinance when they were with the City and it has worked fine as
far as he knew.
Bill Koolage, 815 26th Avenue, emphasized that in order for
the people to pay attention to it, the ordinance will have to set
enough of a penalty and will have to be enforced.
Attorney Vitunac noted that he and Terry O'Brien had written
that ordinance when they were with the City and it has worked
fine as far as he knew.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by

the County Attorney to draft an ordinance based on the
City of Vero Beach ordinance relating to unwanted
things being tossed -in yards and driveways.
UPDATE ON TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL
Chairman Eggert reported on the 14-5 vote taken last Friday
on the amended upland vegetation preservation requirement under
the new Comp Plan. The amendment just said that any county or
municipality that had a requirement that was greater than the
original requirement could keep it and that it was all right to
have that stronger requirement. That was not the exact wording,
but that was the gist of it; so, anybody who wanted to have 25%
or 50% wouldn't be inconsistent with the rule.
Commissioner Bird asked if it will come to a vote again, and
Chairman Eggert explained that the issue will be discussed again
as the public hearings go along, but it certainly will have to go
to a final vote. A brief discussion followed regarding
Commissioner Bowman's strong feelings for requiring 25% instead
of the 15-10% requirement preferred by the rest of the
Commissioners.
