DATE: November 15, 1991
-SUBJECT: DIOCESE OF PALM BEACH'S REQUEST FOR SPECIAL EXCEPTION
APPROVAL FOR A RESIDENTIAL CENTER TO BE KNOWN AS THE
SAMARITAN CENTER
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of November 26, 1991.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
John Dean Architect and Associates Inc. has submitted an
application for major site plan and special exception approval on
behalf of the Diocese of Palm Beach to construct a residential
center at 3650 41st Street. The residential center will house
homeless people for a period of less than 90 days while the people
try to get "back on their feet". The proposed residential center
will accommodate 24 people, including the resident manager. The
subject site is located within the RM -10 zoning district, a
district which requires special exception use approval for a
residential center.
The Board of County Commissioners is to approve, approve with
conditions, or deny the special exception use request. Pursuant to
Section 971.05 of the Land Development Regulations, the Board of
County Commissioners is to consider the appropriateness of the
requested use based on the submitted site plan and the suitability
of the site for that use. The county may attach any conditions and
safeguards necessary to mitigate impacts and to ensure
compatibility of the use with the surrounding area.
At its October 24, 1991 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended unanimously (5-0) that the Board of County
Commissioners grant special exception approval for the Samaritan
Center with the conditionsoutlined in the recommendation section
of this report. The major site plan associated with this project
was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission, subject to the
special exception use approval by the Board of County
Commissioners. Thus, if the Board of County Commissioners approves
the special exception use)then the site plan approval will be in
effect.
ANALYSIS:
1. Total parcel size: 8.35 acres or 363,778 sq. ft.
Size of Development Area: 1.56 acres or 68,200 sq. ft.

2. Zoning Classification: RM -10 Residential Multi -family (up to
10 units per acre)
3. Land Use Designation: M-2 Medium Density 2 (up to 10 units
per acre)
4. Building Area: 5,181 sq. ft
Total Floor Area: 6,484 sq. ft. (includes 2nd floor area)
5. Total Impervious Area: 21,460 sq. ft.
6. Open Space Required: 30%
Provided: 68%
7. Traffic Circulation The project will access 41st Street by
means of a paved 22' wide two-way driveway.
8. Off -Street Parking Required: 11 spaces
Provided: 16 spaces
9. Stormwater Management: The Stormwater Management Plan has
been approved by the Public Works Department.
10. Landscape Plan: ,The landscape plan is in conformance with
chapter 926 of the LDRs.
11:--Utilitiesi 'The project will utilize county water and sewer
services. These utility provisions have been approved by the
county's Department of Utility Services.
12. Dedication and Improvements: The comprehensive sidewalk and
bikeway plan requires that a 5' public sidewalk be provided
along the project's 41st Street frontage. Due to the short
length of 41st Street frontage on the subject property, the
applicant has indicated the improvement will be escrowed for,
prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. This
escrowing provision satisfies Land Development Regulation
requirements and is acceptable to staff.
The County's Thoroughfare Plan classifies 41st Street as a
Minor Arterial, a roadway type which requires 100' of right-
of-way. Since there is a canal on the south side of 41st
Street, any additional right-of-way needed for 41st Street
must come from the north side. Presently there is only 30' of
right-of-way existing for 41st Street. That means that there
is a 70' right-of-way deficiency for the road, and the
applicant will be required to dedicate an additional 30' of
property without compensation to bring 41st Street up to the
60' minimum local road standard.
Besides the 30' referenced above, an additional 40' of
property will need to be dedicated by the applicant to bring
41st Street up to the 100' minor arterial standard. The
dedication of the 40' will be subject to compensation, at the
time of dedication. According to the Public Works Department,
the entire amount of right-of-way needs to be dedicated in
conjunction with this application, including the compensable
40' strip.
13. Concurrency: The concurrency certificate for this project has
been issued. Thus, all concurrency requirements have been
satisfied.
14. Specific Land Use Criteria:
a. The use shall satisfy all applicable regulations of the
State of Florida and Indian River County as currently
exist.
2
22
b. The approving body shall determine that the proposed use
is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood in terms
of intensity of land use. As a measure of land use
intensity, the expected number of persons per acre of the
proposed use is equivalent to the number of persons per
acre allowed within the respective zoning district. The
number of persons per acre within the zoning district can
be derived by multiplying the density (d.u./acre) by
household size estimates for that structure type. For
the purposes of this section, the following household
size estimates shall apply: single family homes, 2.5
person per dwelling unit; multiple family, 2.0 persons
per dwelling unit. The persons per acre intensity of the
group home shall not exceed one and one-half times the
intensity of adjacent residential zoning district(s).
c. To avoid unsafe or unhealthy conditions that may be
produced by the overcrowding of persons living in these
facilities, a minimum floor area per person shall be
required. Floor area requirements shall be measured from
interior walls of all rooms including closet space.
1. Total interior living space. A minimum of two
hundred (200) square feet of interior living space
shall be provided per facility resident. Interior
living space shall include sleeping space and all
other interior space accessible on a regular basis
to all facility residents.
2... Minimum sleeping areas.. A minimum of eighty (80)
square feet shall be provided in each sleeping
space for single occupancy. A minimum of sixty
(60) square feet of sleeping space shall be
provided for each bed in a sleeping space for
multiple occupancy.
3. Bathroom facilities. A full bathroom with toilet,
sink and tub or shower shall be provided for each
five (5) residents.
d. To avoid an undue concentration of group care facilities
in one area, all such facilities shall be located at
least one thousand two hundred (1,200) feet apart,
measured from property line to property line.
e. If located in a single-family area, the home shall have
the appearance of a single-family home. Structural
alterations or designs shall be of such a nature as to
preserve the residential character of the building.
f. The facility shall satisfy all applicable off-street
parking requirements of Chapter 954. The facility shall
meet or exceed all open space requirements for the
respective zoning district.
g.
The maximum capacity of such facilities shall not exceed
the applicable number permitted by the Department of
Health and Rehabilitative Services.
h. Group home permits are transferable. If the type of
resident/client changes or the resident capacity
increases to such and extent that it would raise the
facility to a higher level group home as distinguished by
the definition, the facility must be reevaluated for an
administrative permit or special exception approval.
All of the applicable above specific land use criteria have
been satisfied by this application.

RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the analysis performed, staff recommends that the Board of
County Commissioners grant special exception use approval with the
following conditions:
1. that prior to site plan release, the applicant dedicate 70' of
additional right-of-way for 41st Street;
2. that prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, the
applicant shall escrow funds for the required sidewalk
segment;
Chairman Bird opened the Public Hearing, and asked if anyone
wished to be heard in this matter.
John Dean, architect and agent representing Catholic
Charities, noted that Joyce Wild of Catholic Charities is here
today to answer any specific questions about the use of Samaritan
House. This is a community project, and, to date, 20 churches
have contributed to the cost of the construction of this
building. In addition, there has been tremendous support by
local businesses and individuals. He felt the project speaks for
itself and that the community is responding in a powerful way.
To date, over $383,000 of the $595,000 estimated completion cost
has been contributed to this project. There is a possibility
that another foundation will join in the support of the project,
but public support is still needed. Hopefully, construction will
start at the end of January, 1992. He wished to convey Catholic
Charities' thanks to this community for the strong support it has
given.
There being no others who wished to be heard, the Chairman
closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Eggert felt this facility will be a tremendous
asset to the community, especially with the philosophy of having
people there temporarily, counseling them, getting them back on
their feet and back to work.

ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously granted
special exception use approval for the Samaritan House

SUBJECT: SunCoast Primary School's Request for Conceptual Site
Plan and Special Exception Use Approval for a Pre -School
and Primary School
SP -MA -91-10-61
#91080129
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of November 26, 1991. [Note: this request was tabled from
the November 19th Board meeting and continued to the November 26th
meeting.]
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
John Dean Architect and Associates, Inc. has submitted a conceptual
site plan and special exception application on behalf of SunCoast
Primary School to construct a pre-school (ages 3 & 4) and primary
school (grades K - 7th) at 2301 43rd Avenue. The subject property
is zoned RS -6 which requires special exception use approval for a
school. The subject site is located on the westside of 43rd Avenue
about 500' south of 26th Street, and is approximately 2500' feet
off of runway 4/22 lying just to the southeast of the extended
centerline of the runway.
The proposed development is to take place in two phases: the first
phase will accommodate 100 students, and the second phase will
provide for another 100 students fora total of 200 students. If
the concept plan and proposed use are approved by the county, then
the applicant will submit a final site plan(s) for review and
approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
The Board of County Commissioners is to approve, approve with
conditions, or deny the special exception use request. Pursuant to
Section 971.05 of the land development regulations (LDRs), the
Board of County Commissioners is to consider the appropriateness of
the requested use based on the submitted site plan and the
suitability of the site for that use. .The County may attach any
conditions and safeguards necessary to mitigate impacts and to
ensure compatibility of the use with the surrounding area.
At its October 10, 1991 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended 4 to 1 that the Board of County Commissioners deny
special exception use approval for the preschool and primary
school. The Planning and Zoning Commission based its
1
26
recommendation to deny on airport -related safety concerns expressed
at the meeting by the City Airport Director. Please see the
attached draft Planning and Zoning Commission minutes (attachment
#4
)•
It should be noted that since the Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting the applicant has revised the proposed site plan. As
revised, the site plan depicts all buildings and activity areas
relocated to portions of the property which will be impacted less
by airport activities. This staff report addresses the safety
issue in more detail under "Airport Concerns" in the analysis
section.
ANALYSIS:
1. Size of Development Area: 4.34 acres
2. Zoning Classifications: RS -6, Residential Single Family
District (up to 6 units/acre)
3. Land Use Designation: L-2, Low Density 2 (up to 6 units
per acre)
4. • Building Area: -
Phase I :
Phase II:
5,520 sq. ft.
10,420 sq. ft.
Total: 15,940 sq. ft.
5. Total Impervious Area:
--Phase I: - --.15,940-sq. ft.
Phase II: 30,085 sq. ft.
Total: 46,025 sq. ft.
6. Open Space Required: 40%
Provided: 76% (after phase II)
7. Traffic Circulation: The applicant is proposing to use a 20'
wide, two lane, one-way looped driveway to access the site.
This design has been approved by the County Traffic Engineer.
The County Traffic Engineer has -reviewed the conceptual plan
and has indicated that Phase II may require construction of a
north bound left -turn lane on 43rd Avenue to accommodate site
related traffic. An approvable, detailed traffic study will
need to, be submitted in conjunction with the phase II final
site plan application to determine if a left -turn lane is
required. If the approved study indicates that a left -turn
lane is required, then a left -turn lane will need to be
provided prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy
(C.O.) for the phase II facilities.
8. Off -Street Parking Required: 24 spaces (phase I)
Provided: 24 spaces (phase I)
Additional parking spaces will be provided in phase II, and
the conceptual plan accommodates the anticipated required
additional spaces. The required number could vary based on
the final number of staff at the facility. At the time of
phase II approval, the applicant will have the opportunity to
submit a parking study in accordance with section 954.08(3) of
the LDRs to try to justify a reduction in parking space
requirements. Any reduction will have to be approved by the
Planning and Zoning Commission via approval of a subsequent
final site- plan.

9. Stormwater Management: A conceptual stormwater •management
plan has been reviewed and approved by the Public Works
Department.
10. Landscape Plan: The applicant has noted on the conceptual
plan that a landscape plan meeting the criteria of chapter 926
will be submitted with the final site plans(s).
The conceptual plan indicates that a 30' buffer strip of
existing native vegetation (predominantly palmetto) will
remain undisturbed along the west and north property lines.
These natural buffers will exceed the minimum criteria for a
type "C" buffer which is required to be placed between the
proposed use and the adjacent single family residences. In
addition, all structures are set back at least 100' from the
west property line, with the parking lot set back 80' from the
west property line. Furthermore, the fenced playground area
is to be located approximately 170' from the west property
line. The phase II additional outdoor play area must be set
back 50' from the west property line, and 30' from the south
property line. These buffers and setbacks are required to
buffer surrounding residences from proposed buildings, parking
areas, and outdoor recreation areas.
11. Utilities: The project will connect to City water and sewer
services. The applicant has indicated services are available
to the • site; the concurrency review has verified that capacity
is available.. _
12. Dedication and Improvements: The comprehensive bikeway and
sidewalk plan requires that a 5' wide public sidewalk be
constructed along the project's 43rd Avenue frontage. The
applicant has indicated that the sidewalk will be provided
with phase I.
The Thoroughfare Plan classifies 43rd Avenue as a minor
arterial which requires 100' of right-of-way. Presently 70'
of right-of-way exists for 43rd Avenue. The applicant will
need to dedicate 15' of property for 43rd Avenue right-of-way
subject to compensation. The property will need to be
dedicated prior to release of the approved final site plan.
13. Concurrency: A conditional concurrency application has been
approved for the proposed development.
14. Airport Concerns: At the October 10, 1991 Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting, the planning staff recommended approval of
this request, even though planning staff was aware that the
airport director had concerns about the proposed use in
relation to noise generated from the nearby airport. In
telephone conversations and in meetings, the airport staff had
indicated that the proposed use would need to comply with the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 150, Appendix A
standards. These standards deal primarily with how airport
noise will affect surrounding uses. In planning staff's
opinion, CFR part 150 did not prohibit the proposed use at
this location, but did indicate that extra noise attenuation
building construction measures would need to be taken by the
applicant to accommodate the users of the proposed school.
During the site plan review process, the applicant indicated
that she was willing to take such building construction
measures and was also willing to execute an "avigation
easement." Such an easement protects the airport from
possible lawsuits by having the prospective owner of the
subject property acknowledge that she is aware of the airport -
generated noise. Also, the easement essentially waives the
property owner's rights to bring legal action against the
"airport in relation to noise and any perceived nuisances
generated by airport operations.

t
At the October 10, 1991 Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting, the city airport director (Bill Sherry) not only
raised the noise compatibility issue, but he also raised a
safety issue in his verbal presentation and in a letter
distributed at the meeting. These written comments were based
upon correspondence which the airport director had received
from the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) and the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT). In these comments,
airport staff strongly objected to the location of the
proposed use based primarily on the grounds of safety, and
secondarily on the effect of aircraft noise on the school.
After the October 10, 1991 Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting, the planning staff met again with airport staff to
better understand the basis of the airport staff's position.
The airport staff, through studies and expert opinion, were
able to show that a definable safety concern should be
addressed in relation to the proposed use. This safety
concern is based upon the following three findings.
1. There is a clear and definable overflight zone, at the
end of active runways, within which the potential for
accidents -is significantly greater than in other areas
around the airport. The location .of these overflight
zones has been identified by the FAA, FDOT, and city
airport consultants es extending in width 300' on either
side of the centerline of active runways and extending
5,000' from the end of these runways.
2. The conceptual plan design reviewed at the Technical
Review Committee and. Planning and . Zoning Commission
meetings showed buildings and play areas to be located
within the overflight zone as defined in #1, above.
3. Experts contacted by City airport staff, including the
FAA, FDOT and airport consultants, all agreed that uses
which concentrate or congregate people, such as the
proposed school use, should not be permitted within the
overflight zone due to a greater potential for a major
catastrophe in the event of an accident.
These findings are described in detail in attachments #7 and
#8. Planning staff's conclusion is that the conceptual plan
design reviewed by the Technical Review Committee and the
Planning and Zoning Commission would congregate people in the
overflight zone. Therefore, in planning staff's opinion, the
"old" concept plan design reviewed by the Technical Review
Committee and the Planning and Zoning Commission should not be
approved for the proposed school use.
Subsequent to the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting and the
denial recommendation, the applicant applied the criteria in
item #1 above to determine the location of the overflight zone
with respect to the subject property. As shown in attachment
#2, the overflight zone encompasses most of the north half of
the site. Since various accessory uses associated with the
proposed use (particularly parking, stormwater management and
buffering) do not involve congregations of people, the
applicant proceeded to redesign the project to use the
overflight zone area for non -congregation uses and to limit
assembly areas (buildings and playgrounds) to the portion of
the site outside of the overflight zone.
On November 12, 1991, the applicant submitted to staff a
redesigned conceptual plan which shows all buildings out of
the overflight zone, while maintaining the same types of
perimeter buffers shown on the "old" plan. The revised plan
proposes some parking, buffering and stormwater management

tdb
areas within the overflight zone, uses which the staff feels
are appropriate for this area. In staff's opinion, however, no
school accessory uses which would allow for the congregation
of people (such as playgrounds) should be permitted within the
overflight zone. The use of the school's property within the
overflight zone should be restricted to uses such as parking,
buffering, open space and stormwater retention areas. At a
November 12th meeting between planning staff, airport staff,
and the applicant, all parties agreed that the revised
conceptual plan would be acceptable if it were redesigned
further to prohibit all uses which congregate people within
the overflight zone part of the site. However, airport staff
noted that agreement on the site design would be subject to
concurrence by FAA and FDOT.
In a November 15, 1991 conversation with the airport staff,
the planning staff was advised that the FDOT and/or FAA may
still respond negatively to the redesigned conceptual plan.
If either of these agencies responds negatively, the airport
staff would probably "mirror" those responses due to grant and
funding responsibilities. However, no response from either
agency has been received at the time of this report. Absent
an official position in writing from the airport staff, the
FAA, :and the FDOT regarding the revised conceptual plan,
planning staff is applying the proposed overflight guidelines
to form a recommendation on the safety issue. As of the
writing of this -report, -the staff_has completed a preliminary
review _of the revised _conceptual plan. Based upon this
review, staff determined that all structures and assembly uses
are now to be kept out of the overflight zone and all site
plan and specific land use criteria will be met. In staff's
opinion, the revisedconceptual plan is.approvable subject to
conditions, including a detailed review of the revised
conceptual plan by the TRC.
15. Airport Zoning: During the past six months, county planning
staff have been working with the airport authority staff, City
of Vero Beach planning staff, City of Sebastian planning
staff, and the FDOT to develop an airport zoning ordinance as
required by State statute. As drafted, the proposed ordinance
focussed on noise and height issues. Until the Suncoast
application submittal, no reference to, or regulations for,
overflight zones were included in the draft ordinance despite
close coordination with and review of the ordinance by FDOT.
Because of concerns raised relating to the Suncoast
application, staff intends to incorporate overflight zone
requirements into the proposed ordinance. It is anticipated
that the proposed airport zoning ordinance will be presented
to the Board of County Commissioners in several months as an
LDR amendment.
16. The following specific land use criteria are applicable to
primary schools:
a. Sites for secondary schools shall be located near
thoroughfares so as to discourage traffic along local
residential streets in residential subdivisions.
Elementary schools should be discouraged from locating
adjacent to major arterial roadways. [Note: 43rd Avenue
is not a major arterial roadway.]
b. For the type of facility proposed, the minimum spatial
requirements for the site shall be similar to standards
utilized by the Indian River County School Board and the
State of Florida. [Note: the proposed student to site
size ratio falls within the school board guideline for
elementary school site size.]

c. No main or accessory building shall be located within one
hundred (100) feet of any property line not adjacent to
a street or roadway. No main or accessory building shall
be located within fifty (50) feet of any property line
abutting a local road right-of-way that serves a single
family area. [Note: these setbacks are satisfied or
exceeded by the design.]
d. The applicant shall submit a description of anticipated
service area and projected enrollment by stages if
appropriate, and relate the same to a development plan
explaining:
1. Area to be developed by construction phase.
2. Adequacy of site to accommodate anticipated
facilities, enrollment, recreation area, off-street
parking, and pedestrian and vehicular circulation
on site including loading, unloading and queuing of
school bus traffic.
3. . Safety features of the development plan.
fNote:-•this information: has -been provided.]
e., No rooms -within the school shall be regularly
s.•-• -_used for• the housing.sof •students •when. located
in a ,Single -Family ...Residential District.
[Note: no student housing is proposed.]
f. The facilities shall have a Type "C" buffer in the A-1,
A-2,•: A-3, •RFD., RS -1, .RS -2, :-RS-3 -and RS -6 Districts.
[Note: the Type "C"• buffers, or better, have been
. provided. ] - .
g. The facilities shall have a Type "D" buffer in all other
residential districts not listed in #6 above. [Note: not
applicable.]
All of the above criteria have been met by the conceptual
plan, with the additional recommendation that all playground
area be set back at least 50' from the west property line.
17. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:
North: Single Family Homes/RS-6
South: Single Family Homes/RS-6
East: Dodgertown G.C./City of Vero Beach
West: Single Family Homes/RS-6
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Based on the analysis performed, the staff recommends
that the Board of County Commissioners grant the special
exception use approval with the following conditions.
A. That the applicant submit revised plans and obtain
approval of the Technical Review Committee of a
concept plan that:
NOV 261991
1. provides all of the buffering previously
described in this report;

Planning Director Stan Boling pointed out the proposed site
on an aerial view of the area with the overflight zone marked in
red. He reviewed the three main areas of concern discussed at .
the meeting of the Planning & Zoning Commission who voted 4-1
that the Board of County Commissioners deny special exception use
approval for the preschool and primary school. After revision of
the site plan to place the buildings just outside the overflight
zone, staff is recommending that the Board grant special
exception use approval with certain conditions as outlined in
staff's recommendation.
Director Boling advised that the three main areas of concern
with the project were traffic, compatibility with the neighbor-
hood, and an airport located in the vicinity.
Commissioner Scurlock questioned the dedication and
compensation for only 15 feet of right-of-way for this project,
after taking 70 feet without compensation in the previous agenda
item.
Director Keating explained that on the previous item, we
were looking at the possibility of there being a Murphy Act deed
on the property along 41st Street, which would give the County an
easement or, essentially, right-of-way of that area.
Commissioner Scurlock wanted to be sure in his own mind that
we are being consistent in either paying for all right-of-way or
not paying for all right-of-way.
Director Boling stated that we are doing that. With the
possibility that there is a Murphy Act deed covering the site
along 41st Street (essentially, there is a road easement there
already), we asked the applicant to go ahead and make that
right-of-way dedication as opposed to an easement. In that
particular case, they agreed to do that.
With regard to traffic concerns, Commissioner Scurlock noted
that the intersection of SR -60 and 43rd Avenue and the nearby
bridge would have been greatly impacted by the traffic that would
have been generated by the proposed DeBartolo mall. In addition
to that, there is the congestion along 43rd Avenue when the L.A.
Dodgers are here in the spring. 43rd Avenue also seems to be the
major access point to our correctional facilities. He was
concerned about all of that traffic at peak hours.
County Engineer Mike Dudeck explained that staff projected
trip generations from a survey done by the applicant and
architect on the present facility, and those projections came out
less than typical Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)
projections. However, to be on the safe side, staff used ITE
34
projections for Phase I and Phase II. It was difficult to
determine whether a lefthand turn lane would be required under
our new I_DRs, but the numbers do not come anywhere near that at
the present time. A lot depends on where the children are coming
from, and based on the traffic analysis on the present facility,
we went with the assumption that 70% of the trips would come from
the south and 30% from the north. If that continues, there
should be no real problem. We are looking at peak trips of 40
with both Phases 1 and II, which would occur at 7:00-8:00 a.m.
and 2:00-3:00 p.m.
Commissioner Scurlock was concerned about the children's
safety during the drop-off and pickup times and matching that up
to events at Dodgertown and Holman Stadium. He was concerned
about mixing those two activities when there are other sites
available. It is a special exception, so we are supposed to
consider traffic and traditional traffic counts.
Mr. Dudeck advised that improvements due to begin soon at
the intersection of 43rd and 26th Street (Walker Ave.), include a
full traffic signal, which will help considerably to control
traffic during peak hours. One condition in looking at Phase II
development is whether or not that lefthand turn lane should go
in there to expedite traffic in the area and to avoid congestion.
Traffic has almost doubled out there since 1987, going from 4900
trips to 6500 trips, and that is a concern we had with the mall
going in west of 58th because traffic would have been using
Walker Avenue to access the mall from the backway.
Commissioner Scurlock emphasized that at some point
DeBartolo's property west of 58th Avenue will be used in some
sort of commercial activity which certainly will impact the
intersection at 43rd and 26th Street.
Commissioner Wheeler didn't know how fair it is to consider
the impact of traffic on 43rd Avenue from the property out west
when there isn't even anything on the drawing board yet. He
didn't feel that future impact should be considered over and
above what is being proposed for this property.
Commissioner Scurlock also had a problem with special
exceptions for schools, churches, etc., and wondered why we don't
zone upfront for these facilities because sometimes these
facilities are not compatible with the surrounding uses. His
point is that a special exception is just that - special, not
normal. His suggestion would be to designate neighborhood nodes
that would allow these type of activities.
Chairman Bird opened the Public Hearing, and asked if anyone
wished to be heard in this matter.

Bill Sherry, Director of the Vero Beach Municipal Airport,
read into the record the following comments regarding their
objection to a school being allowed within 2000 feet from a
runway
Members of the County Commission you have a very difficult
decision before you today. I do not envy your having to make
that decision. I wish I could help make this decision easier
for you, but I can not.
You will hear today the opinions of quite a few people, so I
will try to keep my comments brief and to the point.
Essentially, you must decide what is safe and what is not.
The decision is whether or not to allow a school to be con-
structed approximately 2000' off the extended centerline of a
major runway at Vero Beach Municipal Airport; a runway which ac-
commodates both large and small aircraft, many of which are stu-
dent pilots training. These aircraft will pass overhead at
approximately 150' under normal conditions. It is estimated
that this will occur approximately 400 times per day while the
runway is in use. Furthermore, since runway use is largely de-
termined by weather conditions, Runway 4, the runway in ques-
tion, is primarily used during the winter season
(November -March) when large corporate and private jets are down
for the winter. These jets will also pass overhead at 150 feet.
After hearing from all sides, the I.R.C. Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended against the construction of this school.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the Florida Department
of Transportation after studying the proposal recommends
against the project. And I also recommend you deny this re-
quest. Why?
First, let me say that there is nothing personal in our recom-
mendations. As a matter of fact, after dealing with the indi-
viduals involved, I am convinced they are very fine, caring
people. They are just having a difficult time understanding the
aviation issues involved. These issues center around two con-
cerns - noise and safety, and more specifically, the accident
potential in the vicinity of the approach end of a runway. Prob-
ably everyone here knows that aviation -i.s one of the safest
forms of transportation available today. But accidents happen,
and one of the greatest risk areas for an aircraft accident is
in or around the ali=3aroach end of a runway. For this reason,
FAA, FDOT, I.R.C. P & Z, and airport staff recommend the place-
ment of 200 school children someplace other than in an approach
zone of a runway.
As you heard from Stan Boling, FAA and FDOT have not, as of
yet, established objective criteria in the form of regulations
or recommendations pertaining to this type of situation - as it
relates to safety. Therefore, this makes your decision that much
more difficult. Is the risk sufficiently lowered if the school
structure is located 320'off the extended centerline rather than
280'? This would be a very small margin for an aircraft in dif-
ficulty.
36
.n the backup presented to you by staff, you have the ..letters
and recommendations of aviation experts. Furthermore, I have
with me today Mr. Laddie Irion with Greiner, Inc.,. one of the
worlds largest aviation consulting firms and also the consultant
for Vero Beach Municipal Airport. Mr. Irion has been an expert
witness in courts of law with reference to aircraft noise and
safety. If you wish, he can go over FAR Part 150 and accident
statistics which might help you understand the concerns ex-
pressed by aviation experts regarding the construction of a
school at the location_ proposed.
Mr. Sherry advised that because of the noise and safety
factors, he would favor the school being built on a site further
north on 43rd Avenue1:.

airport flight data, Commissioner Wheeler read into the record

Being a pilot himself, Commissioner Wheeler disputed the
safety hazard because he feels the danger here probably is
considerably less than a trip to school by the students. He•
doesn't buy the FAA's concerns that the school is incompatible
with aircraft operations, and doesn't feel the FAA would
recommend anything to be built there that would be compatible
with aviation other than a hangar.
Ben Gross, Vero Beach assistant city attorney, stressed that
the airport's main concern about the school being located on the
proposed site is its incompatibility with airport activities.
Single family residential development also would be incompatible;
however, the FAA would not be involved in the consideration of a
single-family residence.
Laddie Trion of Greiner, Inc., consultant for Vero Beach
Municipal Airport, reported that in 1988 they did an
environmental impact study on the effect of Runway 4, and, for
noise and safety reasons, would recommend that another site be
found for this school.
Commissioner Scurlock understood that their recommendation
would be for that property to be used at the lowest possible
density, and Mr. Trion confirmed they would prefer to see it used
for something other than residential, light office perhaps.
John Dean, architect and agent representing the SunCoast
Primary School, introduced Candy Manwaring and Glenn Baldwin,
trustees of the school as it presently exists. He pointed out
that special exception approval is needed in these situations for
the simple reason that no one wants a church or a school next to
them. This is not a final site plan. They are asking the Board
for conceptual approval, after which they will iron out any bugs
in the plan. He emphasized that the school's plans were
proceeding through the system without a hitch until the airport
concerns suddenly came to light. He felt itzis kind of arbitrary
to drop all of this on them since other buildings are in
overflight zones too, including the County Jail. Before fears of
airplane crashes cropped up, the school was proposing to build
their new facility in the overflight zone, but to be reasonable,
the plans were revised so that the buildings are just outside the
zone. The parking lot and stormwater retention areas are within
the zone. Mr. Dean noted that several SunCoast students are here
today to observe government at work as it relates to site plan
approval.
Commissioner Wheeler emphasized that Runway 11-L was
expanded in 1987 after the County Jail was built.
Mrs. Manwaring, administrator of the school, advised that
the SunCoast School is a small, non-sectarian, non-profit and tax
38
exempt private school founded in 1984. The number of students
has grown from 13 to 60 and has been housed at Asbury Methodist
Church since its inception. The children begin school at age 3
and go through grade 7 and their first two graduates have gone on
to junior high school this year.
Mr. Dean explained Phase 1 and Phase 11 and noted that the
maximum number of children under Phase 11 would be 200 students.
'The open space required is 40 percent, and they have allocated 67
percent.. They would like to be good neighbors and have gone to
great lengths to isolate the buildings from the neighborhood.
Glen Baldwin, trustee, wished to comment on the children's
good behavior at the school and that there has never been a
problem during the drop-off and pickup hours.
Mr. Dean read into the. record the following two letters
received from people who live adjacent to the existing facility
on 43rd Avenue, south of SR -60:
"To whom it may concern:
•
This is to let you know that SunCoast Primary School
has been what I would call a very good neighbor. The
children have been kept under control at any time that they
have been within the sight of my home and they are also
quiet. I enjoy seeing the children as they do their
exercises outside..
Sincerely, Branch Bridwell
1746 43rd Ave., Vero Beach."
"To whom it may concern:
I have lived next door to the SunCoast Primary School
at 1746 42nd Ave. for a year. We were never bothered by the
school in any way. Even in the evening when they have their
after-school programs, the noise level from the school was
not noticeable. Please allow the school to go ahead with
their expansion and the school is an asset to the area.
Thank you.
Connie J. Quinn."

Marie Martin, realtor, related the difficulty over the past
two years in finding a suitable site for the school due to
traffic levels and ingress and egress concerns on various major -
roads. They are happy to finally have located this site which
answers all criteria.
Commissioner Scurlock asked about the limitation of 200
students, and Attorney Vitunac stated that the site plan is
designed to accommodate 200 students, but in order to expand,
they would need the Board's approval of a modification to site
plan.
Commissioner Eggert asked if the buildings could be moved
further south, and Mr. Dean admitted that they could be moved a
bit more, but they feel satisfied with the location where it is.
Mr. Dean proceeded to rebut the argument that the site would
not be a safe place to build a school, and concluded by
emphasizing that the final site plan does come up at a public,
hearing at the Planning & Zoning Commission level.
Lisa Miller, David Scoville, and Erin Manwaring, students of
SunCoast School, urged the Board to allow the site to be used for
the site of their new school.
Peter Corpellia, pilot and resident of the area, felt the
overflight zone is a very arbitrary measurement. He urged the
Board to give special exception approval for this site.
Bob Lange, president of the ARCA Homeowners Association,
read the following memo into the record:
TO Vero Beach County Commission
FROM Bob Lange
President of ARGA Homeowners Assoc.
DATE November 26, 1991
ARGA Homeowner's Position on Proposed Sun Coast School Site
Our Homeowners Association, which includes Healthland, Albrecht, Executive
Manor, Golf -Acres, Redstone Manor, and Stuart subdivisions, supported by the
Safari Pines and Walker's Glen developments, opposes the proposed Sun Coast
school site. We consider the proposed school location to be in a dangerous area which
would place the students' safety in grave jeopardy.
Vero Beach Municipal Airport Flight Path
Because the proposed school location is on the flight path of Airport Runway 4 the
• Airport Director, FAA and FDOT recommended disapproval of the
proposed site based on their concern for the safety of the 200 students and their
teachers. ,Exhibits 1.2 and 3 state their positions.
• Planning and Zoning Board rejected the proposed site of the plan on
October 10th.
40
Currently, a proposed airport zoning ordinance is being staffed. This ordinance
proposes the establishment of an area 300 feet from either side of the runway center-
line, extending out from the threshold to 5000 feet — as a safety zone. Exhibit 4.
As a consequence of this proposed action, the school site plan has been revised to
confine the complex to the southern section of the site. This rearrangement places
the school buildings just outside the arbitrary redefined safety boundaries. We
consider this action purely an exercise in manipulation. The fact remains that
nothing has changed in terms of actually improving safety conditions.
The unanimous conclusions and recommendations by the Airport Director, FDOT
and FAA that the site is incompatible with aircraft operations, both from the stand-
point of safety and noise, remain valid. Precise safety zones cannot be defined. I
believe the Airport Director can validate this statement.
From first-hand daily experience, the homeowners can attest to the fact that
aircraft approaches and takeoffs on Runway 4 vary widely and overfly both the
northern and southern sections of the site. Furthermore, FDOT has stated most of
runway 11R/29L VFR traffic will also overfly the site.
To demonstrate the significant danger involved, I call your attention to $xhibit 5
and Q. Exhibit 5 shows actual plotted accident site distribution within a specified
safety area of a hypothetical runway. You will note, that if you reverse the direction
of landing to reflect Runway 4 orientation, ( , Exhibit 6) the
heaviest accident concentration would be within the area of the proposed school site.
It is interesting to note that the accident study data shows that 85% of accidents
occur on the active runway or its overrunlunderrun area and clear zones.
I would also like to point out that the airport director has offered to lease the
school an alternate site which is free of overflight and noise conditions.
Heavy Traffic On 43 Avenue
The proposed school site is also a dangerous area due to heavy volume of vehicular
traffic along the 43rd Avenue. The existing traffic on this two lane roadway creates
a very serious safety hazard for the students as well as their parents.
• 43rd Avenue – major artery for
• North/south automotive traffic
• Trucks from groves, UPS, Federal Express, etc.
• Emergency vehicles from the sheriff's station and fire and rescue station.
• Daily drop-off and pick-up of 200 students will significantly increase traffic
congestion on an already heavily travelled two lane artery.
• Lack of turning lanes on 43rd Avenue at school location means that traffic
will be stalled in both directions during heavy early morning and evening travel
times while parents turn into and out of the school site. We can expect a
significant increase in the accident rate.
• Proximity of the school to Holman Stadium with heavy traffic and parking
congestion along 43rd Avenue during spring training and other sporting or
amusement events constitutes yet another hazard to safety for students.
• History of high motor vehicle accident rate shown in Exhibit 7 from the
Sheriffs department records indicates that a significant number of accidents
have occurred on 43rd Avenue in the vicinity of the proposed school site.
A Petition
In closing, I would like to present a petition signed by 138 homeowners who are
deeply concerned for safety of these young students. It would be difficult to live with
our consciences if a disasterous accident occurred and we had not spoken out.
SAID PETITIONS WERE NEVER RECEIVED BY THE OFFICE OF THE

Bud Baxter, 2296 44th Avenue, owner of property that would
butt up to the proposed school facility, didn't feel it is fair
to plant in the minds of these children that the residents of
this area are cantankerous, cranky old people who don't want a
school to be built in their neighborhood. That is untrue,
because this neighborhood is composed of people of all ages. He
urged the children not to pre -judge them as a bunch of ogres. He
emphasized the unfairness of the verbal abuse that was given to
the people in opposition to the site after the P&Z meeting. Mr.
Baxter also wished to ask how the new "gag rule" would affect the
public's accessibility to the Commissioners when they are not in
session.
Commissioner Wheeler emphasized the open door policy this
present Board has had and their willingness to hear people.
Allen Stadnick, 2249 44th Avenue, didn't feel that the
traffic impact on their neighborhood has been fully addressed.
Getting out onto 43rd Avenue in the early morning hours is
extremely difficult as it is now, and if Piper comes back into
operation and employs a large work force, that will make it even
worse. If the school is located here, their neighborhood will be
impacted substantially by the increased traffic. He couldn't see
how the Board can justify approving the special exception because
of the traffic impact, and urged the Board to deny this request.
Betty Leckner, resident of 21st Lane, didn't feel that her
home is safe being under the overflight zone. She complained of
the present noise from the airport and the steady drone of cars
on 43rd Avenue which she felt is just a speedway.
There being no others who wished to be heard, the Chairman
closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Scurlock felt the weight in this decision has
to be with the current property owners because the buyers have
other options. For the reasons of increasedtraffic levels and
safety concerns, he would propose denial of the request for
special exception approval.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED
by Commissioner Bowman, that the Board deny the request
by SunCoast Primary School for special exception
approval.
Under discussion, Commissioner Eggert stated she would not
vote for the Motion because this does meet all the criteria for
42
special exception approval and because none of these buildings
are under the overflight zone.
Commissioner Bowman felt that the Commission has been remiss
in not delineating all of these areas surrounding the airport.
She didn't feel there is a compatibility problem, but did feel
there is a big problem with safety. She doesn't want to see it.
Commissioner Wheeler felt the concerns of the FAA are
subjective to what we have in our ordinances. He felt the danger
here is considerably less than the trip to the school by car. He
has consistently supported the rights of residential centers, and
feels that schools and churches are compatible with residential
neighborhoods.
Chairman Bird feIt the site plan meets the two main criteria
of compatibility and safety, and planned to vote against the
Motion.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion
was voted on and failed by a vote of 2-3, Commissioners
Bird, Wheeler and Eggert dissenting.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Wheeler, that the Board grant special
exception use approval with the conditions set out
under staff's recommendation.
Under discussion, Commissioner Wheeler commented how
difficult it is to make decisions in these situations, and
Commissioner Scurlock interjected that is why he feels we should
have a zoning classification where they would be allowed. It
seemed to him that a better approach would be to look at that and
designate them as we do our commercial nodes and medical nodes.
Chairman Bird noted that the churches and schools need to be
where the people are, and he really didn't think it was that big
of a problem because after one of these difficult decisions has
been made and the project has been built, it has worked out and
they have been compatible with the neighborhood.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion
carried by a vote of 3-2, Commissioners Bowman and
Scurlock dissenting.

RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING THE VERO BEACH FIREFIGHTERS ASSOC., LOCAL
2201, INTERNATIONAL ASSOC. OF FIREFIGHTERS AS THE COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING REPRESENTATIVE FOR CERTAIN EMPLOYEES OF THE IRC
EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 11/19/91:
TO: Board of County Commissioners
THROUGH: James Chandler
County Administrator11
FROM: Doug Wright rector
Emergency Services
DATE: November 19, 1991
SUBJECT: Recognition -Acknowledgment Petition for
Vero Beach Firefighters Association, Local 2201,
IAFF, as the Exclusive Bargaining Unit for
Emergency Medical Services Paramedics
It is respectfully requested that the information contained herein be
given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at
the next regular scheduled meeting.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
On November 4, 1991, the Director of Emergency Services received a
Recognition -Acknowledgement Petition from Matt Mierzwa of the law
offices of Kaplan & Bloom, P.A., through Wilbour Tripp, President of
Local 2201. Along with the Petition, thirty-six Application for
Membership cards were received. Of the thirty-six (36) cards
received, four (4) were not filled in by employees, however, there
was a sufficient number in terms of majority status to proceed with
the process of consideration of the Recognition -Acknowledgment
Petition.
On November 6, 1991, staff met and determined that one position was
not appropriate to the proposed bargaining unit as relates to the
Equipment Mechanic II. Staff contacted the law firm and the
President of Local 2201 regarding excluding this Equipment Mechanic
II position and agreement was reached in this regard. On November 7,
1991, staff received a revised Recognition -Acknowledgement Petition
from the law firm which reflects the Equipment Mechanic II position
from the "included" to the "excluded" class.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
On November 13, 1991, the Personnel Director verified the employee
signatures on the Application for Membership cards by comparing
signatures on file with the signatures on the referenced cards. As
stated above, out of thirty-six (36) initial cards received, one was
changed to the excluded status (Equipment Mechanic II); four (4) were
not filled in by employees; and thirty-one (31) were found to be
valid and appropriate to the proposed bargaining unit for a majority
status to be reached. Itis staff's opinion and conclusion that PERC
would approve the petition, even if the county took exception and
formally opposed it.
If the Board approves the staff recommendation and authorizes the
Chairman to sign the petition, the documents will be returned to the
Petitioner Representative (Kaplan & Bloom, P.A.) for submission to
PERC. If approved by PERC, the county would, if requested, negotiate
a separate contract for EMS members. It would be the goal of
44
Management to negotiate the separate contract only for the period of
time remaining on the existing three year contract with the
firefighters. The issue of an effective date for the separate
contract is an issue to be bargained at the table.
Although staff is informally utilizing the position titles referenced
in the Emergency Services Rules and Regulations which were approved
by the Board of County Commissioners on October 8, 1991, the
positions will not be formalized, funded, or effective until October
1, 1992. Therefore, the position titles/classification as authorized
in the position control listing are reflected in the petition rather
than the informal titles being utilized by staff at this time for
operational purposes only.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the
Recognition -Acknowledgment Petition and the accompanying resolution
authorizing the Chairman to execute the referenced documents.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously approved the
Recognition -Acknowledgment Petition, as recommended by
staff, and adopted Resolution 91-176, recognizing the
Vero Beach. Firefighters Association, Local 2201,
International Association of Firefighters as the
Collective Bargaining Representative for certain
employees of the County in the Division of Emergency
Medical Services.
RECOGNITION -ACKNOWLEDGMENT PETITION WILL BE PLACED ON FILE IN THE
OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD WHEN PROPERLY EXECUTED AND
RECEIVED
RESOLUTION NO. 91- 176.

1991 STREETLIGHT REQUESTS
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 11/18/91:
TO: James E. Chandler,
County Administrator
FROM: James W. Davis, P.E.,-
Public Works Director
SUBJECT: 1991 Street Light Requests
REF. MEMO: Michael Dudeck to James Davis dated 11-14-91
DATE: November 18, 1991 FILE: stretlt.agn
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
Staff has received four (4) requests for County funded
street lights at four major intersections located at
1) 1st Street SW and 27th Avenue; 2) CR510 and 85th Place;
3) CR510 and 87th Street; and 4) CR512 and 101st Avenue.
At the current time, the County funds 40± streetlights at
roadway intersections along collector roads, not including
those along major arterial corridors such as SR60, US1 or
A1A .
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
Staff has performed streetlight warrant analysis for all
four of the intersections. Based on a minimum warrant score
of 56.25, two intersections scored above the minimum warrant
as follows:
CR510/85th Place
CR512/101st Avenue
110.0 Pts
73.4 Pts
The remaining two scored very close to the minimum warrant
as follows:
CR510/87th Street
1st St SW/27th Avenue
55.2 Pts.
54.5 Pts
It is staff's opinion that the last two intersections will
meet minimum warrants due to increased traffic projections
this year.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
It is recommended that all four intersections be included
for street lighting in the FY92/93 budget beginning Oct. 1,
1992. Funding in the amount of $480 will be included in the
Traffic Engineering Budget for FY92/93.

MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED
by Commissioner Scurlock, that the Board approve
the street lighting for the four intersections, as
set out in staff's recommendation.
Under discussion, Commissioner Wheeler reported that he has
received complaints recently about the poor lighting along Indian
River Boulevard in the unincorporated area of the county and
would like to see us address that problem.
Commissioner Bowman suggested some pavement guards for that
area also.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion
was voted on and carried unanimously.
INDIAN RIVER BOULEVARD, PHASE III -- CHANGE ORDER NO. 5
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 11/20/91:
TO: James E. Chandler,
County Administrator
THROUGH: James W. Davis, P.E.,
Public Works Director
FROM: Terry B. Thompson, P.E.,--<1
Capital Projects Manager
SUBJECT: Indian River Boulevard, Phase III
Change Order No. 5
DATE: November 20, 1991 FILE: co5.agn
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
The Contractor for Indian River Boulevard, Sheltra & Son
Construction Co., has encountered cap rock while digging a
ditch that will run along the west side of the Boulevard
right-of-way between SR 60 and the Main Canal Bridge.
Sheltra & Son has also encountered unsuitable organic
materials within the Boulevard right-of-way between the
North Bridge and the Main Canal Bridge.
Soil borings were taken during the design of this project by
two different geotechnical firms. There was no indication
of rock in any of the soil borings and a unit price for rock
removal was not included in the bid proposal. The quantity
of unsuitable organic soils indicated by the soil borings
and included in the bid proposal is considerably less than
what is being found during construction. The contract
specifications call for the organic soils to be stock -piled
for use at a later time as top soil in dressing the embank-
ment slopes. The original 13,188 cubic yards of sub -soil
excavation provided the Contractor with slightly more
material than what was needed for top soil. The additional
unsuitable material that is excavated must be loaded and
hauled to a disposal area within the project site.
48
The most recent soil borings were performed in November
1980. Since these borings were taken over ten years ago,
there may be no legal recourse against the geotechnical firm
for providing the County with misleading data. Staff intends
to pursue this matter further.
The remainder of the items on this Change Order deal with
drainage improvements on the south end of the project.
These improvements are needed to insure proper drainage of
the residential area to the west of the Boulevard.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
The alternatives are as follows:
Alternative No. 1
Authorize Change Order No. 5 in the amount of
$136,807. This would result in a revised contract
amount of $2,876,888.55.
Alternative No. 2
Deny authorization of the Change Order and re -negotiate.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
Staff recommends that Change Order No. 5 be approved.
Funding is from Account 309 -214 -541 -066.51 -Indian River
Boulevard, Phase III, Construction in Progress.
Commissioner Scurlock asked why this work would not be part
of the contract, and Public Works Director Jim Davis explained
that some of these areas have a much deeper section of this muck
and the engineer did not anticipate this.
Administrator Chandler further explained that this is based
on soil borings done in 1980 and 1981 by Universal of Orlando.
This is outside the scope of work.
Chairman Bird asked if we could recover some damages if the
soil borings were erroneous, and Administrator Chandler reported
that we have not made a final determination on the negligibility
of Universal.
Commissioner Scurlock noted that this bidder was low by
$600,000, but Chairman Bird felt that we seem to be always taking
it on the chin. He understood, however, that the main issue here
is to remove the muck.
Commissioner Bowman suspected that perhaps the engineer
missed the rock because they didn't take enough soil borings.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved
Change Order No. 5, as set out in the above staff
recommendation.

GIFFORD TOWER REFURBISHMENT - CHANGE ORDER NO. 1

SUBJECT:
GIFFORD TOWER REFURBISHMENT
CHANGE ORDER NO. 1
IRC PROJECT NO. UW -91 -09 -UW
BACKGROUND
The Board of County Commissioners, on October 19, 1991, approved the
awarding of the bid for Gifford Tower Refurbishment to Hi -Line
Contractors. The amount of bid was $47,500.00. The amount budgeted
for this project was $72,000.00. The refurbishment covered the
cleaning, blasting and painting of the water tower; no repairs were
included. This water tower was last inspected on July 20, 1989, and
the only repairs recommended at that time were sandblasting and
painting. Due to unexpected accelerated corrosion and weathering,
additional repairs are now required.
ANALYSIS
Hi -Line Contractors moved onto the site a ► November 7, 1991, and
started work. An inspection was made of the- water tower on November
12, 1991, by the contractor and one of Howie Green's inspectors. Howie
Green is under contract with the County to inspect the Gifford Tower
Refurbishment for the County.
As a result of this inspection, it was determined that additional
extensive repairs are required. These repairs include replacing the
top set of six needle rods, replacing the top vent and screen, and
repairs to the ladder and catwalk around_the tank, as set forth in the
attached bid. The ladder and most of the catwalk are unsafe to use at
this time. The cost of these repairs is $21,900.00. (See attached
change order.)
The contractor has sandblasted and installed the first coat of paint to
the inside of the tank. The second and third coats of paint must be
applied within 14 days of the application of the first coat.
If the repairs to the catwalk and vent can be completed before the 14
day window is closed, the damage to the interior first coat can be
repaired on a time and material basis plus 10%, not to exceed
$2,500.00. This would make the total increase of the change order
$24,400.00.
52
If the repairs are not completed before the 14 -day window closes,
additional costs will be incurred. If the second and third coats are
not applied within the 14 days, the complete first coat will have to be
reblasted before recoating. If the second and third coats are applied`
before the repairs are done, additional sandblasting and all three
coats of paint will need to be applied in the area of the repairs.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners approve the attached change order.
Commissioner Bowman wondered why the inspection of the
catwalk wasn't made before the contractor started the paint job,
and Noel McMahon of Utilities assured her that the repairs can be
completed within the 14 -day window.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved
Change Order No. 1 with Hi -Line Contractors for the
Gifford Water Tower Refurbishment, as recommended by
staff.
