Rencorp's Request'for PRD Approval Extension for the Coquina PRD The Board reviewed the following memo dated 10/8/91: J TO: {,THROUGH: r: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: James E. Chandler County Administrator DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: i Obert - a ng, pi CP Community Development Director 416 Stan Boling, AICP Planning Director John W. McCoy, AICP --t w�'1 Senior Planner, Current Development October 8, 1991 Rencorp's Request for PRD Approval Extension for the 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 October 15, 1991. t, DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: On July 12, 1990 the Planning and Zoning Commission granted preliminary PRD plan approval to construct 64 units as phase I of the Coquina development. The subject property is located r immediately south of Sea Oaks and stretches from the Atlantic Ocean r=to the Indian River. Approval was given subject to approval of the Rspecial exception and conceptual plan by the Board of County Commissioners. The Board of County Commissioners subsequently granted special exception and conceptual PRD plan approval on August 21, 1990. Therefore, the effective date of preliminary PRD plan approval is August 21, 1991; the approval will be deemed to have expired on August 21, 1991, unless the Board grants an ;extension. By granting the preliminary PRD plan extension, the ;conceptual plan approval would also be extended. The developer has requested that the preliminary PRD approval be extended. Due to financial constraints, the developer has been unable to commence construction. This project was reviewed under the old land development regulations (LDRs) and the present comprehensive plan requirements. Preliminary PRD plan extensions are treated as site plans for the purpose of reviewing and granting the extension. The applicant is requesting the full one year extension. Pursuant to Section 23.2(g)(2) of the old LDRs, a request for preliminary PRD plan extension was submitted prior to the expiration date of the approved preliminary PRD plan. As provided for in the old LDRs, the Board of County Commissioners may act upon this request. ANALYSIS: Although this application was reviewed under the old LDRs, the requirements of the adopted comprehensive plan were applied. The only substantive County regulation changes which would affect this project are the concurrency requirements. As of September 1, 1991 this application lost any concurrency vesting that the project had 18 obtained through the preliminary PRD approval process. If this preliminary PRD approval extension is granted, the applicant will need to obtain individual single family concurrency certificates for each of the 64 proposed units as required in the applicable regulations of Chapter 910 (Concurrency Management System) of the new LDRs. Given this requirement, the application will substantively conform to the new LDRs. Pursuant to the applicable site plan ordinance regulations, the Board of County Commissioners may grant, grant with additional conditions or deny such preliminary PRD plan extensions. In the staff's opinion the Coquina phase I preliminary PRD plan would substantially conform to current requirements, subject to the condition contained in this report's recommendation and the original condition specified by the Planning and Zoning Commission. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above analysis, staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners grant the applicant's request for a 1 year preliminary PRD plan extension subject to the original approval conditions and the applicable Chapter 910 concurrency regulations. The new expiration date of the phase I preliminary PRD plan is August 21, 1992. y i'f`s ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Eggert being absent) granted a one-year preliminary PRD plan extension for the Coquina PRD, as set out in the above staff recommendation, with new expiration date of August 21, 1992. T. Renewal of Abandoned Flow Well Plugging Agreement with St. Johns River Water Management District The Board reviewed the following memo dated 10/3/91: TO: James E. Chandler County Administrator DEPARTMENT HEAD CONCURRENCE: ‘Robert M. Reatin(, A ;.'Community Developmenirector Roland DeBloisiA ICP -.Chief, Environmental Planning October 3, 1991 FROM: DATE: RE: Renewal of Abandoned Flow Well Plugging Agreement with SJRWMD It is requested that the data presented herein be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of October 15, 1991. OCT 15 1991 19 000r 84 FAuE J34 OCT 15 199i BOOK 8 4 PAGE 5 5 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS On October .3, 1989, the county entered into a 50/50 cost share program with the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) to plug abandoned artesian wells on county utilities property. The agreement was subsequently amended on March 26, 1990 to extend to a county -wide program, with a county commitment to allocate a total of $30,000 ($15,000 for utilities property, $15,000 for county -wide .'private property) on a fiscal year basis. Under the program, SJRWMD matches the county's funds with $30,000 of their own, ,;resulting is a total of $60,000 per fiscal year allocated for well plugging. .The agreement was renewed -by the Board of County Commissioners to extend through fiscal year 1990-1991. This matter is now being ! brought to the Board for consideration to renew the contract through fiscal year 1991-1992. . ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS The Board of County Commissioners has approved the allocation of $15,000 in the Utilities Department budget and $15,000 in the Community Development Department budget for fiscal year 1991-1992, for the county/SJRWMD well plugging cost share program. Abandoned flow wells result in the unnecessary consumption of groundwater. Moreover, artesian flow wells tend to have high chloride levels, and in turn lower water quality in the surficial aquifer, which is commonly used for private potable wells. This past fiscal year, + 3.5 million gallons per day (mgd) were saved by the plugging of eleven (11) wells in the county -wide programand two in the utility program. RECOMMENDATION - Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners renew the abandoned flow well plugging cost share agreement with the SJRWMD for FY 1991-1992 and authorize the chairman to execute the attached agreement. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Eggert being absent) approved the renewal of the abandoned flow well plugging cost share agreement with SJRWMD for FY 91/92 and authorized the Chairman's signature.

Keating Community Develo THROUGH: Stan Boling, AICP Planning Director FROM: Christopher D. Rison Staff Planner, Current irector DATE: October 7, 1991 Development SUBJECT: REDUCTION OF EASEMENT: Frank S. Liggieri Retained Easement from Sunshine Quality Homes - Unit 2 Plat Vacation It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of October 15, 1991. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: On March '6, 1990 the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution No. 90-31 which effectively vacated the Plat of Sunshine Quality Homes - Unit 2. The adopted resolution retained a drainage and utility easement over the platted, and now vacated, road rights-of-way until such time as the property was to be replatted or site planned. Upon such approval, alternative drainage and utility easement(s) over the property would then be approved by resolution by the Board of County Commissioners. (Please see 'Attachment 1.) On September 12, 1991, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved a 4 - unit apartment building and parking as a major site plan on the subject property. The approved site -plan is the first phase of a larger project the owner intends to develop on the site at a later time. Now that the site has received site plan approval, the applicant and the county are now able to determine a workable, alternate easement arrangement to accommodate both existing lines and needed future service. Peterson and Votapka, Inc. on behalf of Frank Liggieri, is now requesting the original retained easement be reduced to twenty-five (25) feet wide, as depicted on Attachment 2. OCT 15 1991 21 BOQK 84 FAuE 5:3C OCT 15 1991 BOO 84 PALE 1 ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: The request has been reviewed by the County•Utilities Department and the Public Works Department. Based upon their reviews,.there would be no adverse impact to..drainage systems or to utilities being supplied to the subject property since the reduced easement has been designed to include and accommodate the existing utility lines which cross the subject property. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners, through ti ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Eggert being absent) approved staff's recommendation and adopted Resolution 91-156, releasing easements for drainage and utility retained by Resolution No. 90-31, which vacated the plat of Sunshine Quality Homes - Unit 2.

Request to schedule a public hearing date for the Grand Harbor Marina Expansion Substantial Deviation The Board reviewed the following memo dated 10/7/91: TO: James E. Chandler County Administrator FROM: DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: Obert M. Keat Community Develo • Stan Boling,�AICP Planning Director Director DATE: October 7, 1991 SUBJECT: REQUEST TO SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING DATE FOR THE GRAND HARBOR MARINA EXPANSION SUBSTANTIAL DEVIATION It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of October 15, 1991.. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: In September 1989, Grand Harbor applied to the Treasure Court Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) for approval to amend the Grand Harbor development order (D.O.). The requested amendment is to add 324 boatslips to the Grand Harbor marina which is currently approved for 144 slips. If the request is approved, the result would be a total of 468 slips in the marina. The addition of slips is considered significant ..and, therefore, constitutes a "substantial deviation" from the approved development plans and D.O. ,. • A substantial deviation request is reviewed and processed in much the same way as the original D.R.I. project (see attachment #1). The delay in the review and consideration of this substantial deviation application has been at the request of the developer. During 1990 and the early part of 1991, the developer requested the ability to delay and extend the substantial deviation application; the requests to extend the application were granted by the TCRPC with no objections from county staff. The developer requested the application extensions due to the ownership charges and uncertainly of direction of the Grand Harbor project. The substantial deviation request has now undergone a review for informational and analysis content (known as the "sufficiency review") by the TCRPC staff with input from county staff and state and federal agencies. To date, the TCRPC staff has been responsible for coordinating the review process. The TCRPC staff has now officially certified that the request application is sufficient for consideration and action (see attachment #2). Pursuant to Florida Statutes 380.06(11), the Board of County Commissioners is now required to schedule a public hearing date at which the Board, after receiving a report and recommendation from the TCRPC, will consider approving the request and amending the development order (D.O.). In addition to normal scheduling requirements, it should be noted that the applicant is requesting a May,1992 hearing date to allow more time to try to address a major environmental concern expressed by the TCRPC staff. (see attachment #3). OCT 15 1991 25 MOKt 84 PALE 540 Pr - OCT 5 BOOK 84 PArE ANALYSIS: The Board has several factors to consider in setting a hearing date. These factors are as follows: 1. the date must accommodate the legal requirement to advertise the hearing date at least 60 days in advance of the hearing; 2. the date must allow time for the TCRPC to consider the request and forward its recommendation and report to the county; and 3..- the date should accommodate the applicant's request to "hold - off" the public hearing for several months (see attachment #3). Although the applicant's request to hold -off the*county's public hearing until May 1992 is unusual, staff has no objections to such scheduling. County staff's analysis shows that scheduling the public hearing for the May 5, 1992 Board of County Commissioners regular meeting will allow sufficient time for advertising and meeting State requirements, will allow sufficient time for county staff review of the TCRPC report and recommendation, and will accommodate the applicant's request for an extensive period of time to work with the TCRPC staff. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners direct staff to set a public hearing date of May 5, 1992 for consideration of the Grand Harbor marina expansion substantial deviation request. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Eggert being absent) directed staff to set a public hearing date of May 5, 1992 for consideration of the Grand Harbor marina expansion substantial deviation request. 26 1 W. Request for Road Closure - Wabasso Road and Live Oak Drive - "Wabasso Bridge 5 K Run" The Board reviewed the following memo dated 10/8/91: • TO: THROUGH: FROM: James E. Chandler, County Administrator James W. Davis, P.E. Public Works Director Michael S. Dudeck, Jr., .County Traffic Engineer SUBJECT: Request for Road Closure Wabasso Road and Live Oak Drive, 7:30 AM - 9:00 AM; October 26, 1991 DATE: October 8, 1991 FILE: elcrace.agn 'DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS 'The Environmental Learning Center is proposing to conduct ;pits First Annual ,"Wabasso Bridge 5 K Run" at 8:00 AM .on ;Saturday, October 26, 1991. The 3.1 mile run will start and end at the Environmental Learning Center on Live Oak Drive "and will utilize CR510, the high bridge, and an additional- -'segment of CR510 west of SR A1A. It is anticipated that between 100 and 200 runners of all ages will participate in this race which is projected to consume approximately 45 (minutes Since the race'. participants,can virtually include persons from "8 thru 80". and the race course will involve the participants running both eastbound and westbound on CR510, :the County 'Traffic._ 'Engineer, •.representatives of. the Sheriff's .Department `::-along ,.with Randy Dowling have determined that, :... for safety reasons, this section. of roadway should be. closed to all vehicular traffic from 8:00 'AM to 9:00 AM for the race.' y7 ... e `si}},.1✓�r,Ki..v t'.i.L 4.� �.

(♦N.r's ;Sheriff Deputies .will be on duty.at'both the°easterly and westerly portions of the roadway closure as will the County .Traffic Engineering staff, maintaining temporary barricades for the event. - In vent. In addition, Vero Beach High School ROTC cadets in uniform, will be utilized to restrict any and_all traffic attempting to enter CR510 via the few side streets involved. The Environmental Learning Center will have emergency and support vehicles along the route to assist any person or persons who cannot complete the run within one hour and a refreshment stand will be available to assist as well. At 7:30 AM a "1 mile fun run/walk" will take place solely on Live Oak Drive. This short event will be over well before the 8:00 AM start time for the main run. The formal request for the road closures along with other correspondence and the Environmental Learning Center's co-insurance affidavits are attached to this request. OCT 15 99 27 BOOK 84 P4E J42 •. OCT i991 EOOK 84 FAL b43 ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS Upon receiving the initial request for road closure, Traffic Engineering and Sheriff Department staff considered maintaining one lane of traffic during the event. This alternative was discarded because of the great range - of ages of the participants and the fact that all participants will be required to run both eastbound and westbound on the section of roadway involved. 'RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Given the benefits which will accrue to the general public from this Environmental Learning Center event, the very 'limited time period involved, and the minimal inconvenience to the general motoring public,' staff recommends that the segment of. CR510. from Live Oak Drive, easterly to ;approximately 100`..yards west of SRA1A be closed from the ''8:00 AM to 9:00 AM. along with a closure of Live Oak Drive ,from the Environmental Learning Center northerly to CR510, 'from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. Chairman Bird explained that he requested this item to be removed from the Consent Agenda because he is concerned about closing the roadway across the river when the alternative bridges are so far away. He hoped there would be some way to keep one lane open for traffic. Public Works Director Jim Davis felt the impact is lessened because the run is scheduled for early Saturday morning and probably will not last even an hour; probably more like 30 to 45 minutes. There is a steep crown to the bridge with a short horizontal sight distance, and we did not want motorists not being able to see the runners who will be participating in the event. The runners will start at the site of the Environmental Learning Center and go across the bridge and return, which would make it very difficult to keep one lane open for vehicle traffic. Mr. Davis felt the slight inconvenience to motorists is outweighed by the safety factor for the runners. Considering all the factors involved, Commissioner Wheeler felt the temporary closing of the roadway was the proper thing to do. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Eggert being absent) authorized the temporary closing of a segment of CR -510 and Live Oak Drive as specified in the above staff recommendation. 28 X.

' The proposed ordinance has been revised to conform to those comments. 31 OCT 15 199 BOOK Jt OCT 15 X991 ROOK Public Works Director James Davis reported that County Engineers Roger Cain and Bill Meager have been working on this very comprehensive ordinance which basically establishes a permitting procedure for any work in County rights-of-way or easements or County -owned land, but particularly the emphasis is on County rights-of-way and easements. The ordinance has been before the Professional Services Advisory Committee and their constructive comments have been incorporated, and staff felt it is ready to come before the Board for approval. This ordinance actually formalizes the procedure and requirements that have been required in the past and now will be made a part of our County Code. Commissioner Wheeler asked how enforcement of the ordinance would be handled because he felt some of the violations could take place in just an hour or two. Director Davis explained that most of the enforcement work and monitor work will be done by two inspectors in the field, supervised by Bill Meager and aided by staff in the engineering department. Commissioner Wheeler asked whether the fines and penalties would be handled by issuing a summons to appear. Commissioner Scurlock asked whether we could cite the property owner rather than the vehicle owner. Director Davis responded that it would depend on the activity. Commissioner Scurlock was concerned that if we have strict interpretation and enforcement, neighbor could use it against neighbor. Commissioner Wheeler was concerned with legitimate violations, where parking in the right-of-way destroys the grass and obstructs the view for traffic. He felt we have had difficulty in issuing summonses for those violations, and he asked the County attorney about the status of the statute. County Attorney Vitunac responded that the state law is available now, wherein if a violation happens so fast we cannot get them administratively, we can go to the state attorney. Commissioner Wheeler asked whether our code enforcement officers currently have the ability to issue summonses. Assistant County Attorney O'Brien responded that Environmental Planning Chief Roland DeBlois is working to give code enforcement officers that authority/ and once this ordinance is in place the sheriff will be able to issue citations for violations. In the past the sheriff has not issued citations because in their view we had no ordinance authorizing them to do so. Director Davis directed the Board to page 7 of the ordinance which addresses that issue. 32 Commissioner Wheeler stressed the need to coordinate the ordinance with the state statute in order to authorize our code enforcement officers to issue summonses for violations of the code. County Administrator Chandler commented that within any process of law enforcement or code enforcement, the discretion and judgment of the enforcement officer can cure a problem with a simple warning. County Attorney Vitunac clarified it would be more a police function than a code function because the right-of-way itself is not private property. The illegal use of public property would be a violation of a county ordinance; enforcement would be primarily the sheriff's function. Public Works Director Davis reported working with various enforcement individuals on a day-to-day basis and staff has found that certain activities, for example, right-of-way use permit, construction or other activity in the right-of-way, placement of structures or objects, would require enforcement and monitoring by engineering inspectors because they know where the right-of-way limits are located and can determine whether a particular activity is detrimental to the right-of-way. In cases where it is a matter of regulatory signage, such as "no parking" areas, those would be enforced by law enforcement officers and tickets issued where applicable. Chairman Bird directed the discussion to page 9 of the ordinance, paragraph 3(e), regarding marginal access roads and other local roads, and felt the phrase "may require driveway relocation" could cause some problem. Director Davis explained that this requirement would come into play only when we are having safety problems, where a congested area is a hazard to the general public. It is not to require people to relocate driveways simply because we do not have a major marginal access road network; but in the future, as the County traffic grows on the road systems, it may be something that we may want to exercise. Chairman Bird wished to clarify that, even though there is an existing business which has a secondary road, they would not be forced to close their original access, unless there develops a real safety problem, and Director Davis said that is the intent. Commissioner Bowman pointed out on page 9, paragraph (b), 12th line down, it says, "The Public Works Director may ask the mitered ends or endwalls on local roads or residential use roads." She suggested the word "question" or "request" in place of "ask," and Director Davis agreed it should read "may require." Commissioner Bowman asked for clarification on the term 33 OCT 15 1991 _. BOOK 4 PA6E cj OCT i5 1991 BOOK FALE 51Q) "stationing" as found on page 10, paragraph B(1). Director Davis explained that "stationing" is an engineering term for a 100 -foot interval and is used as a reference for indicating a particular location. It is a term that engineers and surveyors use frequently. Community Development Director Keating emphasized we are approaching the citation ordinance very carefully because, if a respondent contests a citation, it would be in a court situation and we want tight rules andinternal procedures. Once we go through the long and cumbersome process of getting an order against someone, if there is a subsequent violation, then that person can automatically be fined. It is called a continuing order and it is provided for in state law. So we do have a lot of advantages and we are still working on the citation ordinance. Commissioner Wheeler felt the citation ordinance will streamline the system with the minor, irritating violations, particularly with illegal parking and so forth. Community Development Director Keating thought illegal parking would be one of the citation -related violations whereas others, like junk, trash, debris, would be less inclined to be handled through a citation ordinance. Commissioner Wheeler wanted to see the process move along and have the ordinance become effective rapidly. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Fred Mensing from Roseland came before the Board and questioned the $10,000 bond requirement for truck traffic when the State already issues permits. He felt it could cause great inconvenience for truckers. Public Works Director Davis explained that the state permits cover the state roadways, not the county rights-of-way, and the bond is necessary to cover potential damage caused by oversize, overdimension vehicles. Mr. Mensing stated that a driver coming down from somewhere like Georgia has a permit to get to I-95 and CR512; the County is going to have to put into place some mechanism to, in a timely fashion, get a permit for that driver. Chairman Bird assured Mr. Mensing that we will work out the mechanics to expedite the process. Mr. Mensing's next question concerned prohibited activities and directed the Board's attention to paragraph 1(e) on page 6, which reads, "provide for the direct connection of any fluid discharge from a swimming pool," and 1(j) on page 7 which reads, "install any water well or septic system within the County right - 34 of -way without license and pursuant to Resolution 90-75." Mr. Mensing asked how we would handle the ones that are now in place. Mr. Davis explained the reason for including that as a prohibited activity is primarily due to maintenance of County drainage systems as well as the ability of those systems to retain and detain storm water, which is their primary design function. The problem we have many times is swimming pools and water softeners discharging into the drainage systems. This activity keeps the drainage systems wet so that maintenance crews cannot come in with equipment and mow them. We get repeated requests for mowing back lot ditches, front yard swales and all that kind of thing, and it is very difficult for maintenance crews to maintain those ditches when there is a foot of water in them throughout the year. Commissioner Scurlock asked about the fluid discharge systems that are already in place. Director Davis said if they are in the right-of-way and they are not supposed to be there and they are causing a problem, then they may have to be removed. On County right-of-way which is dedicated to the public for the benefit of the public, private systems, unless they are under a franchise or some approved mechanism, simply should not encumber that right-of-way or easement. The enforcement procedure comes into play when we have a problem. Mr. Mensing addressed paragraph 2(d) on page 7, allowing parking on a County right-of-way for 48 continuous hours and asked why it was not limited to 24 hours. Director Davis responded that we do not want to encourage people to park abandoned vehicles in the right-of-way. The 48 hours took into consideration parking a vehicle on the shoulder of the road over a weekend. After calling and asking other cities and counties in the state, 48 hours seemed to be the time frame they used. So it was simply a judgment call. Mr. Mensing said his other questions had been addressed and thanked the Board. Edmund Cannon, 295 16th Avenue, described his neighborhood as an extension of Indianapolis Speedway. His concern was with the residential neighborhoods where maintenance crews and lawn care crews park their vehicles and trailers in the roadway, blocking traffic and creating hazardous conditions, particularly at corners. He also mentioned this type of activity blocks access to mailboxes which interferes with the delivery of mail. Mr. Cannon asked that this ordinance be passed primarily from the standpoint of safety. 35 OCT i5 1991 (poor E550 CT 15 199' BOOK ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Eggert being absent) adopted Ordinance 91-44 regulating the work, construction and permitted use in all county rights-of-way, easements or other public lands in the unincorporated areas.

DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS .,. On July 13, 1990, the Ad Hoc Committee which was appointed by the •Board of County Commissioners to study and recommend a process and method for consolidation of emergency services in Indian River County, approved a Six Year Emergency Services Equalization Plan and recommended it to the Board of County Commissioners. The •Board of County Commissioners approved the fourteen (14) recommendations of the Ad Hoc Committee on July 24, 1990. Initially, staff completed a proposed comprehensive master plan to consolidate„ and unify emergency services in the County. However, the master plan required modification after the. Town of Indian River Shores decided not to participate in the consolidation process. This resulted in revising the financial data portion of the plan which was presented to the public and overwhelmingly approved in a referendum which was held on March 12, 1991. One of the fourteen recommendations which was approved by the Ad Hoc Committee and the Board related to standardized rules and regulations whereby all fire and EMS staff would operate under a single set of directives. .Staff has, been working with the Fire and EMS Divisions as well as union representatives in finalizing the rules and regulations noui before the Board for consideration. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The main thrust of the recommendation by the Ad Hoc Committee for standardized rules and regulations is related to the fact that personnel working in the same stations, on the same vehicles, within the same Department, should work under similar rules and regulations. That was the predicate under which the concept of standardization for emergency services was proposed and approved prior by the Board of County Commissioners. 39 15 199 Dor ;� a, OCT r 5 199 BOOK 84 FACE For the most part, the revised rules and regulations required only organization name changes for the fire division and the addition of articles relating to the inclusion of the EMS division into the directives. There were also some changes required to comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and minor revisions to comply with other state and federal laws. Salary and fringe benefits provided by contract to bargaining unit members are not conveyed to non -contract employees by virtue of approval of these rules and regulations by the Board. Those areas of the rules and regulations have been identified and clarified as to what is available to contract and non -contract employees, respectively. The EMS staff have gained in terms of benefit which was not previously afforded to them or any other county employee. The new benefit is in Article 9.08 relating to special consideration for prudent use of medical leave. The benefit is a $50.00 savings bond and one additional day off (birthday) in the next calendar year for those full-time permanent employees using three (3) days or less medical leave during the year. Staff asserts the additional benefit provided to the EMS personnel is favorable to management in that any reduction in the amount of medical leave used reduces the amount of overtime which has to be paid. A $50.00 savings bond is far less than paying one shift of overtime and staff recommends approval of this additional benefit. Staff has sufficient funds in the budget for the current fiscal year to provide this benefit which is estimated to cost less than $5,000. This amount is reduced further when compared to the potential for expense related to overtime pay rates. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the Department of Emergency Services Rules and Regulations which includes the job descriptions for the fire and EMS divisions with an effective date of November 1, 1991. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Eggert being absent) approved the Department of Emergency Services Rules and Regulations which will be effective November 1, 1991. Chairman Bird asked about the status of the volunteer corp in the North County. Emergency Services Director Doug Wright reported that we continue to fund those four volunteer departments in the North County. He said his department has shared and involved them in these rules and regulations. He reported that there has been a reduction in the number of responses to callouts. Without mentioning the specific department, he stated that last month they had an estimated 14 callouts and zero responses, which concerns him. He said they try to meet with the individual departments but continue to have problems because only four or five people show up for the meetings and it is difficult to generate interest on that 40 basis. He said his staff have not intentionally taken any action to discourage anyone from volunteering and because of the liability and other things, along with the standards in terms of health and emergency vehicle driver certification, we still continue to send them to school free of charge. Chairman Bird thought there was a feeling that the additional requirements created additional problems for recruiting. He realized that it goes with the changing times, and some of the requirements are from state and federal regulations, but he wanted to be sure we are doing all we can to expedite or simplify the certification process. Commissioner Wheeler noted that we cannot allow volunteers to work in emergency situations without proper training because it is not fair to the people we are servicing and it is a tremendous liability. Commissioner Scurlock mentioned, and everyone agreed, that some volunteers can handle the activities that do not require the training needed for front-line activities. Chairman Bird asked if there is a difference between a volunteer in the South County fire district and the North County fire district. It seems that young people volunteer in large numbers in South County because they see it as a major step toward becoming full-time firefighters, and that process does not seem to be working in the North County fire district. Director Wright responded that the conditions and rules described by Mr. Scurlock exist in the North County; volunteers are involved in support roles. However, they cannot get into a vehicle and drive it to an emergency scene without proper training and certification. In addition, there must be personal background checks to avoid liability. There is no difference in the rules and regulations for admission to the south county or north county fire departments. Director Wright described the work his staff is doing to accommodate potential volunteers by scheduling classes in the daytime, at night, on weekends, and still there are those who have not attended the classes. Chairman Bird hoped we find a way to perpetuate the volunteer corp in some fashion and see it continue to exist and grow and to supplement the professional fire fighting force that we have. Commissioner Wheeler felt that has occurred and mentioned that he has worked with Director Wright and his staff and found they are doing an outstanding professional job. Director Wright thanked the Board and assured them he and his staff will continue to support the volunteers and keep them active. 41 OCT 15 1991 li„ OCT 15 199' acoic KINGSLAKE SUBDIVISION - SINGLE LIGHT The Board reviewed memo from OMB Director Joe Baird dated October 9, 1991: TO: Members of the Board of County Commissioners DATE: October 9, 1991 SUBJECT: KINGSLAKE SUBDIVISION - SINGLE LIGHT • FROM: Joseph A. Baird OMB Director DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Kingslake Homeowner's Association is requesting the installation of one (1) streetlight at the entrance of the Kingslake Subdivsion (6100 N. 58th Avenue). A charge of $12.00 per light per month is recommended. RECOMMENDATION 'Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the request for a • streetlight, contingent upon completion of the following procedure: . • Staff would bill Kingslake Homeowner's Association $144.00 in ..advance for the cost of one streetlights for a full year. 2. Staff would draft a standard single streetlight agreement between Kingslake Homeowner's Association and Indian River County. . Staff would add one light to the Master Streetlight Agreement between Indian River County and Florida Power and Light. 4. By approval of this agenda item, the Board would authorize the Chairman to sign the agreement between Indian River County and Kingslake Homeowner's Association. County Attorney Vitunac commented that in the above -listed procedure number 4, the Chairman will not be signing the agreement. It will be signed by the County Administrator. Commissioner Scurlock asked what is being done to consolidate the various street lighting districts. Administrator Chandler reported there have been several staff meetings,and he has scheduled a meeting with Florida Power & Light for next Friday. His intent is to report back to the Board within three or four weeks with an overall recommendation because if there is a change recommended)we need to do so by January first. 42 ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Eggert being absent) approved and authorized the County Administrator to execute the agreement for a single streetlight between Kingslake Homeowners' Association and Indian River County.

James Chandler, County Administrator From: Jack Price, Pernnel . Date: October 4, 1991 Sub: Health Benefit Program Contracts 'On'December 4, 1990 the Board of County Commissioners approved a ''Request for Proposals (91 -RFP -41), the purpose of which was to obtain the services of a consultant to evaluate the County's health ;benefit program and recommend appropriate changes. The dual intent' was to maintain competitive coverage for employees and to explore ..ways to limit program costs, which had been escalating rapidly. On January 22, 1991 the Board of County Commissioners approved the.' selection of Stanford & Co. as the consultant. Stanford and Co.'s ,analysis led to a recommendation to the Health Benefit Program Committee that major revisions be accomplished in order to meet the; original goals. Most significant among .the 'revisions was the greatly expanded utilization of PPO providers for medical services.;. The Plan redesign is complete and negotiations with the carrier and PPO providers are finalized.,. Attached for Board of County Commissioner's approval are: • 1.

RIGHT-OF-WAY ORDINANCE Attached is a proposed schedule of fees and fines to be used in conjunction with the Right -of -Way Ordinance which is scheduled for hearing on October 15, 1991. Public Works Director James Davis stated staff proposes two minor changes to the resolutions. On Resolution 91-157, he suggested inserting an effective date of December 2, 1991 in order to have time to educate the people regarding the fee schedule and give them time to build that into their budget and procedural process. On Resolution 91-158, the single asterisk should be moved from "$50.00" to the title "Fine" at the top of that column. This would make "plus cost of damage" applicable to the full table of activities. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Eggert being absent, adopted Resolution 91-157 establishing a Fee Schedule for Construction Within County Right -of -Way, with the above-mentioned modifications recommended by staff. 44 RESOLUTION NO. 91- _152 A RESOLUTION OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA ESTABLISHING A FEE SCHEDULE FOR CONSTRUCTION WITHIN COUNTY RIGHT- OF-WAY.

Bird, Chairman REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS FOR EASTBOUND RIGHT -TURN LANE ALONG CR512 AT CHESSER'S GAP AND RIGHT-OF-WAY PURCHASE The Board reviewed memo from Public Works Director Jim Davis dated October 9, 1991: TO: James E. Chandler, County Administrator FROM: James W. Davis, P.E., Public Works Director SUBJECT: Request for Reimbursement of Costs for Eastbound Right Turn Lane along CR512'at Chesser's Gap and Right -of -Way Purchase . DATE: October 9, 1991 FILE: chesgap.agn DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS On August 17, 1991, the Board directed staff to recommend an equitable compensation to be paid to the developer of the Chesser's Gap project for construction of an eastbound right -turn lane along CR512 to serve the Chesser's Gap Development and the proposed east extension of Fleming Street. In addition, 27' of additional right-of-way along the south side of CR512 is under consideration for purchase by the County to accommodate the above described right turn lane west of Fleming Street extension and a drainage swale• to the east. ' ' .• �,,- t., .. ..e. «•.m-,, ;47... • Dr. Henry Fischer,•developer of Chesser's Gap, -is requesting reimbursement of the following costs: . CR512 Right -turn lane $11,193 • Drainage Culvert • . $12,170 ; =•� : , $23,363 _CR512 Right -of -Way 18,863.28 s.f. @ $3.18/s.f. •.$60,000 ,.:r Total Compensation Requested $83,363 Dr. Fischer has also constructed approximately 2,000 1.f. of two lane roadway along the Fleming Street Extension and has submitted an itemized cost summary of $246,620. This roadway will have a capacity of 7,700 vehicles per day as stated in the Developer's Traffic Study. The Chesser's Gap development alone will generate 9,287 or 16,174 trips per day, depending upon which of the two proposed development scenarios presented to County staff is implemented. 53 OCT 15 1991 !{l:01 FAIH OCT t5199 r-� BOOK 84 F'A E 5r ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS Once the Chesser's Gap project is completed, the subject right -turn lane and Fleming Street Extension roadway may be over design capacity due to site related Chesser's Gap impacts and will probably operate at LOS -"D" during average conditions. The County Traffic Impact Fee Ordinance (Chapter 953) allows for Traffic Impact Fee Credits for "the contribution, payment, construction or land dedication" if the project: 1) Meets an expans-.on need of the County's major road network system which is identified in the County 20 -year Transportation Capital Improvement Program; or 2) Provides a capital road improvement to the County's. major road network system which provides capacity expansion necessitated by the proposed land development activity. In staff's opinion, the Fleming Street Extension will perform a dual function by serving as the main collector driveway for the various lots within the Chesser's Gap Development,' as well as serving as the western portion of the Fleming Street collector road thoroughfare. The design and construction of the road, however, is typical of a two lane collector driveway for the development and does not provide for a left -turn lane to serve the proposed driveway access points 'along the 2000' Chesser's Gap frontage. Through traffic will be restrained by vehicles queing to left turn. A recent appraisal was performed by Calloway and Price, Inc., Professional Appraisers, and the value of the 27' wide by approximately 500' long portion of right-of-way along CR512, which is desirable to accommodate drainage for the eastbound right turn lane,, is $ 23,600. The Developer is requesting payment from the County for this 27' right-of-way, in addition to reimbursement in the amount of $23,363 for construction of the right turn lane along CR512. Staff has defined the following alternatives: • Alternative No. 1 ;r. .. The right -turn lane as•'constructed will serve a dual ,function of serving site related turns to the Chesser's Gap project as well. as the. future Fleming Street extension. • Payment of 100% of the cost of the . additional CR512 'right-of-way,' (as determined by the recent appraisal) along .the project frontage is recommended. The -Right turn lane along CR512 wiII,4, in • the -short term; -'only serve the traffic attracted to the Chesser's Gap project .:".;When right-of-way is acquired and Fleming Street extended further east, through traffic will benefit.";!The reimbursement under .this alternative is: •.. • , n 100% cost of additional right-of-way along Chesser's Gap frontage = $ 23,600 100% Cost of right turn lane ($23,363) Total Compensation = $46,963.00 54 Alternative No. 2 Compensate the developer for 100% of the cost of the additional 27' of right-of-way, but deny compensation for the turn lane until Fleming Street Extension is complete to US 1, at which time the County would consider reimbursement. Turn lane $ 0 Right-of-way $ 23,600 $ 23,600 RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Staff recommends Alternative No. 1 which would reimburse the developer of the .Chesser's Gap project,$46,963. Funding to be from District 3 Traffic Impact Fees. (101-153- 541-067.13) ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Eggert being absent) authorized cash reimbursement to Dr. Henry Fischer as developer of Chesser's Gap in the amount of $46,963 to cover 100% of the cost of the additional right-of-way along Chesser's Gap frontage ($23,600) and 100% of the cost of right -turn lane ($23,363), as recommended by staff. (WARRANTY DK0) RECEIVED AND NOW ON FILE IN OFFICE OF CLERK TO BOARD) PURCHASE OF PROPERTY CONTIGUOUS TO THE SOUTH COUNTY REVERSE OSMOSIS FACILITY AND PROPOSED SOUTH COUNTY WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT Utility Services Director Pinto made the following presentation: 55 OCT 15 1991 kOOK a. PA6L b ry OCT 15 'x'993 C GE b i'.. DATE: TO: FROM: SEPTEMBER 17, 1991 JAMES E. CHANDLER COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TERRANCE G. PINTO DIRECTOR OF UTILITY SERVICES PREPARED WILLIAM F AIN AND STAFFED CAPITAL P "TS ENGINEER BY: DEPARTMENT RVICES SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF PROPERTY CONTIGUOUS TO THE SOUTH COUNTY R.O. FACILITY AND THE PROPOSED SOUTH COUNTY WWTP BACKGROUND With the expansion of the South County well field at the South County R.O. Facility and proposed construction of a South County Wastewater Treatment Plant at that site, there is a need for additional land at this site. (See attached letters of recommendation from CDM and PBS&J.) The property we are proposing to purchase is on the east boundary of the existing water treatment plant on Oslo Road. The property is a ten -acre tract that runs between Oslo Road and the right-of-way of a proposed section of 7th Street SW, contiguous to the existing site. The ten -acre tract is split into two types of zoning --the front one half is zoned heavy commercial, and the back one half is zoned residential (see attached location map). ,ANALYSIS We have considered many viable reasons for expanding the South County projects site. They are as follows: 1. The additional ten acres will allow a greater buffer from residential development proposed on 7th Street, SW (the north end of the proposed site purchase) from both the existing water plant and the proposed wastewater plant. This additional buffering will help with future odor control and in meeting ever-increasing planning and zoning setbacks, etc. 2. The purchase of the additional ten acres will also eliminate the possible necessity of mitigating any possible effect of the ultimately proposed future pumping rate at the South County well field. This problem has also been brought up (i.e., possible need for mitigation) by the St. John's River Water Management District during our current Consumptive Use Permit, (CUP) modification application. 3. With regard to the proposed South County WWTP, as well as the previously mentioned buffering effect, the land purchase will allow for future construction of effluent storage tanks at this site. In summary, we feel the purchase of the aforementioned ten -acre tract of land will be of great long-term advantage to the County. The appraisal of the property that was reviewed (dated January 4, 1990) by Armfield & Wagner indicates that an average price of ± $33,000.00 per acre, or a total of $330,000.00, would be equitable (see the attached summary and conclusion sheet from that report). The Utilities Department would like to proceed with the negotiation and purchase of the aforementioned property. RECOMMENDATION The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the .Board of County Commissioners authorize the Utilities Department to negotiate with the' current property owner for purchase of the .above -listed property. 56 NIP I.

This would provide ample space for future needs and protect the operation of the existing facility. Discussion ensued regarding the present uses of the property to the east of the subject property and Director Pinto said the frontage portion was commercial and about half -way in it changes to residential. Commissioner Scurlock asked about the ownership of the subject property. Director Pinto stated the owner is Hoskins and Trench, Inc., but it has been brought to his attention that the mortgage holder is foreclosing on the property and he was concerned about who might 57 Ott 161991 OCT 15 1991 purchase this property and what might be built there. County Administrator Chandler interjected that Commissioner Eggert has disclosed her financial interest in the subject property and has filed a Memorandum of Voting Conflict,( which is on file in the office of Clerk to the Board.) He added that Commissioner Eggert has not been involved in staff's recommendation to the Board and if she were present she would have abstained from discussion of this agenda item. Commissioner Scurlock directed the discussion to the parcel indicated as TR9 on the above diagram and suggested staff should investigate the potential purchase of that parcel and, while we're at it, the 3.1 acre parcel should be included in the research because it looks as though it would be better for storage of reuse water. Director Pinto felt it would be sufficient to purchase 150 feet of the property indicated as TR9, but agreed that the 3.1 acre parcel could be used for additional stormwater capacity storage. Commissioner Scurlock asked, and Director Pinto confirmed, if we did not acquire any of this property it would not impact our existing operation and that the main reason for investigating the purchase of these properties would be for buffering and additional storage. Director Pinto added another reason is to avoid facing major problems if those properties were to be developed in the future. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, authorizing County Administrator Chandler to proceed with negotiations on the 10 -acre tract owned by Hoskins & Trench, Inc., and to research the 3.1 -acre parcel and the parcel designated as TR9 for possible purchase in the future. Discussion ensued regarding procedure for obtaining appraisals and Chairman Bird clarified the motion is to authorize staff to proceed with negotiations on the ten -acre parcel and obtain appraisals on all three parcels. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Eggert being absent). 58 WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT - ROCKRIDGE The Board reviewed memo from Utility Services Director Terry Pinto dated. September 19, 1991: DATE: TO: FROM: SEPTEMBER 19, 1991 JAMES E. CHANDLER COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TERRANCE G. PINTO DIRECTOR OF UTIL PREPARED NOEL J. McMAHON AND STAFFED ENVIRONMENTAL SPECtALI BY: DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY ICE ERVICES SUBJECT: WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT - ROCKRIDGE INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. UW -91 -22 -DS IRC BID NO. 91-113 WORK AUTHORIZATION NO. 3 BACKGROUND On December 1, 1978, the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners signed the agreement to purchase Mid -Florida Utilities, including the water mains and distribution piping in the Rockridge Subdivision. The water distribution system, installed prior to 1958, consisted of galvanized steel pipe, ranging in size from 3/4 inches to 2 inches. Over the years, the distribution system has been subject to corrosion and build-up of material on the inside of the pipes. This has resulted in leaks, broken pipes, and reduced pressure in the houses in the Rockridge Subdivision. On August 5, 1991, the Board of County Commissioners approved the award of the Labor Contract bid to Driveways, Inc., (Bid No. 91-113). (See attached Minutes, pages 16 through 19). The Department of Utility Services proposes to use this Labor Contract to replace the distribution system. ANALYSIS The cost to replace these old galvanized lines with new 2 -inch PVC piping using the Labor Contract is $108,890.77. (See attached Work Authorization No. 3 with Driveways, Inc.) . The pipe, valves, and fittings will be supplied by the County at an estimated cost of $28,864.51. Engineering, inspection, and permitting will be performed by Indian River County staff at an estimated cost of $13,775.00. The replacement of these lines will reduce the maintenance costs and service interruptions and increase the pressure in the houses in the Rockridge Subdivision. This replacement was budgeted through renewal and replacement funds. RECOMMENDATION The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve Work Authorization No. 3 with Driveways, Inc., for the amount of $108,890.77 to replace the water distribution system. r`u151991 s -r 59 a= Pur 4 PAIGE 574 I OCT 15 1991 POOK 84 F'A% ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Eggert being absent) approved Work Authorization No. 3 with Driveways, Inc. in the amount of $108,890.77 to replace the water distribution system in Rockridge, as recommended by staff.

CHANDLER COUNTY ADMINISTRATO PETITION FOR WATER SERVICE IN THE MEADOWS S/D 41ST COURT - NORTH OFF 1ST STREET, SW INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. UW -91 -31 -DS BACKGROUND A petition has been received for a water main extension for 41st Court to supply potable water to its residents. We are now coming to the Board of County Commissioners to seek approval, to begin design of the above project. (See attached petition and plat map.) ANALYSIS The subdivision contains 16 lots owned by 16 owners. One of the lots abutting on 1st Street, SW is already on County water. The remaining 15 shall benefitfrom this project. The 10 property owners signing the petition represent 66.67% of the properties to b served. The petition was picked up September 10, 1991 and returned September 23, 1991. . Several owners were not readily available to sign due to being out of town or simply hesitant. All of the lots in this project are one-half acre. According to Indian River County's Comprehensive Plan and the County Public Health Unit, Division of Environmental Health, new lots utilizing well and septic systems must be a minimum of one-half acre -in size. Lots not meeting these minimum standards are called "undersized lots." The attached map displays the area to benefit from the assessment project. 60 This project is to be paid through the assessment of property owners along the proposed water line route. In the interim, financing will be through the use of impactfee funds. Design services will be provided by the Department of Utility Services. RECOMMENDATION The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends approval of the above -listed project, in order that they may proceed with the design engineering work in preparation for the special assessment project.

CHANDLER COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TERRANCE G; PIN DIRECTOR OF UT SERVICES ROBERT O. WISEMEN, P.E. pd ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES REUSE SERVICE AREA ORDINANCE (RULE 17-610, F.A.C. ADOPTION) INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. US -91 -29 -ED BACKGROUND On August 29, 1991, Indian River County received a permit for the Sea Oaks Wastewater Treatment Plant reuse service area. This permit allows the County to construct a reuse water distribution system, including distribution lines for the Town of Orchid and Windsor Development. One specific condition (No. 18) of the permit (see attached) requires the Department of Utility Services to establish a Reuse Ordinance within 90 days of the permit issuance. The Reuse Ordinance will establish the procedures for user controls and construction practices as required in Rule 17-610, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). ANALYSIS . :; On January 15, 1991, McQueen and Associates, Inc., was authorized to assist the County in obtaining the Reuse Service Area Permit, as a. part of the requirement for expansion of the Sea Oaks Wastewater Treatment Plant (see attached agenda item and letter). The Department of Environmental Regulation expressed its concern about the possibility of cross connection of the reuse system to the public potable water in Rule 17-610, F.A.C. It assigns the responsibility of cross connection control solely to the Public Utility entity. Attached with this agenda is the proposed agreement with McQueen and Associates, Inc., to prepare the Reuse Water Ordinance. The reuse water ordinance shall be accepted County -wide for this purpose. The proposed upset limit for the engineering services is $4,000.00. RECOMMENDATION The Department recommends that the Board approve this proposal and authorize the agreement with McQueen and Associates, engineering service will be provided from account. of County Commissioners Chairman to execute the Inc. Funding for this the wastewater impact fee Director Pinto cautioned the Board that a reuse plant has a cradle -to -grave responsibility for production and distribution of reuse water, to see that it is used safely and in ways that meet all requirements of the law. 62 ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Eggert being absent) approved the proposal and authorized the Chairman to execute the agreement with McQueen and Associates, Inc., as recommended by staff. SAID AGREEMENT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF CLERK TO THE BOARD LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION Assistant County Attorney Collins stated that he would like to present two additional items at the meeting of the Legislative Delegation on the 13th. The first item concerns the responsiveness of the Department of Community Affairs and the cooperation we have received from them. He felt he had enough experience to make comments. He also mentioned that a few weeks ago the Board adopted a Resolution dealing with the election financing trust fund, the 1/2 or 1-1/2 percent assessment on political contributions and filing fees. Commissioner Wheeler felt, even though the Resolution has been mailed out, he wanted the subject brought up to see what the legislative delegates are going to do with it. He would like to see legislation introduced to change that law. FIREARMS RANGE COMMITTEE Chairman Bird submitted the following report of the Firearms Range Committee: The committee agreed that we need to reassess the issue and come up with what money is available for a range. They recommended that the County Commission be approached to see how much money they would be willing to expend for purchase of property for a range. They also discussed the possibility of a combined use of some property under review by the Land Acquisition Advisory Committee. If the County Commission is willing to spend some money to purchase property for a range, then send a message to the land owners in :.Indian River County that we are interested in purchasing 100 acres fora range. That will give us an idea of what kind of cost we are talking about, and -whether we can go ahead or not. They also discussed the advisability of combining this issue with the land acquisition issue on the November, 1992 referendum; would it help or harm the land acquisition issue if acquisition of property for the range was added to the referendum? 63 OCT 15 1991 RUri, '* FA;,EE 5-1.18 OCT i51 91 BOOK :; F't1;E Chairman Bird summarized the efforts of the committee over the past six years to get land donated for this purpose and the frustration of having no funds with which to purchase any land. Chairman Bird added that he had received comments at various times over the years that the County spends money for parks and other things and why don't we express a willingness to spend money for a shooting range. The committee asked him, as chairman, to bring it to the Commission to get some further direction from the Commission as to where the committee should go with this as far as the ability to purchase property. No funds have been budgeted in this year. There was a carryover of, perhaps, $50,000 for developing plans and specifications for a shooting range, which plans ceased when the site on Route 60 did not appear to be feasible for a range. Commissioner Scurlock commented that Chairman Bird had taken some heat because the Commission did not provide any funds for a shooting range but rather expected the committee to find some free land. He felt the reason is priorities; there are so many things in the County that need to be done and paid for, such as roads and drainage. He also suggested that a possible way to do it is to approach a large land holder and, in conjunction with, possibly, utilities, the land acquisition committee, other resources, and the potential users of the shooting range, and make an effort to raise funds. He mentioned the possibility of leasing a piece of property from an owner who may have no plans fordevelopment for twenty years. Chairman Bird said he, as chairman of the Firearms Range Committee, would continue working with all the agencies and individuals that they were working with and continue'on the basis of the suggestions as well as look for more support. PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE Chairman Bird presented the following report of the Parks and Recreation Committee: Rguest 'from Environmental Learning Center to Use Hobart Park for a Fund-raiser The committee recommended approval of the concept as long as details can be worked out with County staff as to cleaning the park after the event, etc. =;;It.was requested that this be brought back to the committee at afuture meeting with a detailed plan of exactly what is being proposed for the fund-raiser. 64 NEI 2) Review of Plan for Donald MacDonald Park and Dale Wimbrow Park ;The committee discussed the request of the Forestry Service to allow their forest rangers to remain in Donald MacDonald :Park, .along with their equipment, after the lease ',is 'terminated., They also discussed what improvements should be done in the park. ;.a 'The committee unanimously recommended that the rangers and the Highway Patrolman be allowed to stay in the park, along with their equipment, feeling that this would be a deterrent to vandalism, and it would also provide additional fire protection for the North County. ,They also recommended that the County place 'a responsible: person there full-time to.; 'oversee the. park, collect rental fees, make repairs, etc. ' Jim Davis was asked to investigate what kind of concession could be placed in the parkto help pay for the park host and necessary repairs. Jim Davis and Rex Hailey were asked to make a trip to the park to see what needs to be done, such as replacement of picnic tables, parking facilities, etc., that could be paid for through Florida Boating Improvement Funds. It was also recommended that the rangers and Highway Patrolman be allowed to live there on an annual basis with the same arrangement they now have with the state. Committee asked Forest Supervisor Joe Spataro to ascertain if the Forestry Service would be willing to continue responsibility of the park until September, 1992 to correspond with the County's fiscal year. 3) Councilman Pease reported that the Vero Beach City Council decided to eliminate all of the old Barber Bridge when the new bridge is built. There is a proposal to construct parks at each end of the old bridge placement, or the fire station could be expanded on the east side. There is also a proposal to build fishing docks. In discussion regarding the old Barber Bridge, Chairman Bird suggested a facility for fishing, such as a catwalk, should be incorporated in the plan. Public Works Director Davis had inferred from his meetings with the planning group that it might be feasible on the east side but the west side involves the mosquito impoundment area which is environmentally sensitive and there would be no ability for people to pull off the road and park their cars. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Eggert being absent) directed staff to contact the City of Vero Beach indicating our interest in including a fishing facility in the plans for the new bridge. 65 OCT 15 1991 BOOK 84 fbSij OCT 15 ta BOOK PNVLt+A,.
