FROM: Donald G. Finney, SRA
County Right of Way Agent CONSENT AGENDA
SUBJECT: Additional Right -of -Way; 27th Avenue, The Luthern Church of The Redeemer, Inc.
DATE: November 1, 1992
The church has a site plan ,
p pending for remodeling and new building construction. Twenty five feet
of additional right-of-way is needed on the east side of 27th Avenue (north of 8th Street) for future
widening improvements.
The additional right-of-way parcel is 25'x 600' (15,000 square feet). The county offered to purchase
the right-of-way parcel for $7,500 which is $.50 per square foot which was unaccetable to the
Church Board.
The church has agreed to sell the parcel for $10,500, which is $.70 per square foot and the church
President signed the Contract For Sale and Purchase for $10,500.
This figure appears reasonable based on recent other purchases of residentially zoned properties.
Staff requests the Board accept the $10,500 contract and direct the Chairman to execute the contract
on the Board's behalf.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously approved
the Contract for Sale and Purchase with The Lutheran

ft. at the northwest corner of 85th Street and 92nd Avenue. In the attached letter dated April 14,

the Stormwater Management and Flood Protection Ordinance be granted by the Board of County
Commissioners. The request has been kept on file by staff until a building permit application was
submitted. The lot area is 1.06 acres.
The waiver request has been reviewed by staff and appears to meet the criteria of Section
930.07(2)(d)4. of the Stormwater Management and Flood Protection Ordinance for lots over 1.0
acres located in the Vero Lake Estates Municipal Services Taxing Unit.
The amount of 100 year floodplain displacement created by the proposed grading plan is estimated
as 420 cubic yards by the applicant's engineer. The attached letter signed and sealed on April 14,
1992 certifies that all applicable requirements of the Stormwater Management and Flood Protection
Ordinance will be met.
Alternative No. 1 - Grant the cut and fill balance waiver based on the criteria of Section
930.07(2)(d)4.
Alternative No. 2 - Deny the cut and fill waiver. Require an on site retention area be provided to
compensate for the proposed floodplain displacement.

RE: APPROVAL OF THE REVISED OVERALL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN
(OEDP)
It is requested that -the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular
meeting of November 10, 1992.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
In 1984, Indian River County was contacted by the federal
government and informed that, because of its consistently higher
than average unemployment rate, the county was eligible for
assistance under the Economic Development Act. In order to qualify
for this assistance, Indian River County created an Overall
Economic Development Plan Committee, prepared an economic
development plan, and established a set of strategies for
implementing this plan. The Overall Economic Development Plan
(OEDP) was originally adopted by the Board of County Commissioners
in June of 1985.
On July 31, 1985, the Economic Development Administration (EDA)
designated Indian River County as a Title IV Redevelopment Area, a
designation which qualifies the county to apply for federal funds
for economic development projects. Subsequently, representatives
from the OEDP Committee along with selected members of the county's
Economic Development Committee were chosen to form the Economic
Development Council (EDC).
To maintain its redevelopment area designation, Indian River County
has had to prepare an OEDP progress report and submit this report
to the EDA on an annual basis. The county has done that each year
13

r NOV 10 1992
Bou 87 V4 99�
since the 1985 approval of its OEDP. To meet the current year
progress report requirement, the EDC has opted to readdress the
entire OEDP, instead of just submitting a progress report. The
EDC's decision to revise the OEDP was prompted by the availability
of more accurate data from the 1990 census, as well as a perception
that the county's economic development strategies needed to be
revised.
On August 18, 1992, the Board of County Commissioners reviewed the
then draft goals, objectives, and policies section of the Overall
Economic Development Plan for conceptual approval. At that time,
the Board conceptually approved the goals, objectives, and policies
with one minor change to policy 3.4 to indicate that both county
staff and the Professional Services Advisory Committee must review
and evaluate the county's Land Development Regulations for
elimination of --any unnecessary regulation.
Since board approval of the goals, objectives, and policies, there
has been only one change. This relates to policy 3.1. Based upon
further input by the utilities department as well as subsequent
Board direction, the timeframes for extension of water and sewer
_lines to commercial/industrial nodes reflected in policy 3.1 have
been reduced. -As revised, policy 3{.1 indicates that water and
sewer will be provided to that porti n --of the State Road 60/I-95
Commercial/ Industrial (C/I) node west of I-95 by 1993, to' -%the I-95/
County Road 512 Commercial/Industrial node by 1993-94, and to the
Osla Road/74th Avenue Commercial/ Industrial node by 1994-95. These
timeframes can be reduced further if demand warrants it.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
For the past several months, the EDC has met, reviewed the existing
overall economic development plan and developed set of goals,
objectives, and policies. These goals, objectives and policies
address the county's major economic development issues and
establish a long term economic development strategy for the county.
With policies ranging from marketing the county's economic
development potential to analyzing the feasibility of providing
economic incentives to attract industry, this plan provides an
economic development strategy for the county.
Throughout this process, the Economic Development Council has
reviewed and revised -the goals, objectives and policies as well as
other portions of the plan several times.
On October 27, 1992, the Economic Development Council approved the
attached Overall Economic Development Plan with some minor
revisions and directed staff to forward the revised plan to the
Board of County Commissioners for the Board's approval prior to
sending the revised plan to the Economic Development Administration
(EDA).
The Board of County Commissioners has three alternatives. These
alternatives are: to approve the revised OEDP as submitted and
direct staff to forward the plan to the Economic Development
Administration; to approve the OEDP with changes; or to reject the
revised OEDP.
RECOMMENDATION
The EDC and the staff recommend that the Board of County
Commissioners approve the attached Overall Economic Development
Plan (OEDP) and direct the staff to forward the plan to the
Economic Development Administration (EDA).

M
� � r
Director Keating conveyed that the report incorporates a lot
of the data and analysis that are the basis for the OEDP's
objectives and policies. Staff is moving forward with
implementation of the OEDP and is working with the Chamber of
Commerce Council of 100 in developing a detailed plan for the next
year.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED
by Commissioner Bird, to approve the revised Overall
Economic Development Plan (OEDP), and directed staff
to forward the plan to the Economic Development
Administration (EDA).
Under discussion, Frank Zorc, 2055 DeLeon Avenue, suggested
that copies of the impressive OEDP be made available to the public.
He reminded the Board of his request two weeks ago for a public
hearing to discuss a referendum regarding beach renourishment, at
which time the Board decided that the newly -seated Board should
schedule that hearing. Mr. Zorc felt that the approval of the OEDP
also should be postponed until the new Board meets.
Commissioner Scurlock explained that the OEDP is an ongoing
project and is an entirely different situation. The incoming Board
is well aware of the OEDP. He pointed out that the new
commissioners were in attendance at this meeting and could speak to
the issue if they desired.
Chairman Eggert confirmed that the OEDP is .not a new issue.
The Board discussed this document and met with Chamber of Commerce
officials before today.
Commissioner Bowman stated that the OEDP was approved in
August, and this revision is to incorporate a minor change in
regard to extending utilities to the industrial node, which was a
suggestion made at the Visions Workshop.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
It was voted on and carried unanimously.

WORK AUTHORIZATION .N0. 6
BACKGROUND
On August 6, 1991, the Board of -'County Commissioners approved the
award of the labor contract bid to -Driveways, Inc. (Bid No. 91-113).
(See attached minutes.) The Department of Utility Services proposes
to use this labor contract to replace the distribution system as
stated.
On July 7, 1992, the Indian River County Board of County
Commissioners approved three surveying proposals from Masteller,
Molar and Reed to obtain data for the following projects:
Project No. 1'- Pineview Park Subdivision and Rivenbark-'Subdivision
Project No. 2 - Cooks Subdivision, -Glen Acres, and Ixora Park
Subdivision
Project No.•3 - Vero Mall vicinity, Ridgewood Subdivision, South
Side Park Subdivision vicinity, and Casa Rio
Subdivision vicinity
Surveying has been completed, and Project No. 2 is designed for
construction. Project No. 2 is comprised of the replacement of
existing 2 -inch galvanized water main with approximately 1,318
_ linear feet of 6 -inch PVC water main and 4,660 linear feet of 2 -inch
PVC water main.
ANALYSIS
The cost of the labor to construct the 6 -inch and 2 -inch PVC water
mains under the labor contract is $47,161.84 (see attached Work
Authorization No. 6 with Driveways, Inc.). The pipe, valves, and
fittings will be supplied by the County at a cost of $15,258.62.
In-house engineering, inspection, and administration costs are
estimated to be $5,800.00.
The construction of these replacement water lines is a part of a
continuing effort by the Department to replace galvanized water
lines in Indian River County. Funding for this project will be from
renewal and replacement funds.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners approve Work Authorization No. 6 to
construct Project No. 2 with Driveways, Inc., for the amount of
$47,161.8.4 to replace an estimated total of 5,978 linear feet of
water main and authorize expenditure of $21,058.62 for materials and
in-house support, for a total project cost of $68,220.46.

LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION ITEMS
Chairman Eggert announced that she asked staff to submit items
to take to the Legislative Delegation in early December.
Attorney Vitunac advised that there were no special requests
from the County staff, but the Utilities Department has several
recommendations.
Utility Services Director Terry Pinto requested that local
utilities be allowed to certify and permit their own lines instead
of involving the Department of Environmental Regulation (DER) in
the process, and that DER be involved in the effluent disposal
methods only, or perhaps the plant itself. The current procedure
for getting state approval for lines and road rights-of-way creates
a great deal of delay. Director Pinto also suggested that
connections to a plant should be based on available capacity rather
22
M
than committed capacity. The State currently requires that when a
plant is committed 100 percent, another must be built before
further development is allowed, even when the plant has unused
capacity.
Attorney Vitunac reported that he had discussed this issue
with representatives of the Treasure Coast Council of Local
Governments (TCCLG) legislative committee and they unanimously
agreed that this is a problem in other counties also. These
suggestions will be presented at all the four -county meetings of
the Legislative Delegation.
Attorney Vitunac stated that the State needs to clarify who is
responsible for payment of utility connections in mobile home
parks. The County has adopted a policy of neutrality, and
responsibility for payment has been a matter of contract between
landlords and tenants. The current statutes on the subject have
resulted in litigation in some instances.
Commissioner Scurlock understood that treatment plant capacity
guidelines and regulations are administrative in nature rather than
legislative, and that DER districts adopt their own rules.
Attorney Vitunac responded that when a legislative
determination is made, all the rules of the various districts will
be required to comply with the new law.
Commissioner Scurlock suggested that once the actual flow of
a plant reaches 70 percent of capacity, that should trigger the
need for expansion of the plant.
Attorney Vitunac explained that staff's discussion at the
committee meeting was that as long as the County's utility system
had a permitted expansion, DER would allow connections higher than
70 percent.
Commissioner Scurlock advised caution in allowing connections
beyond 70 percent of capacity because of the possibility of
construction problems.
Director Pinto commented that it does not make sense to build
another plant when the existing plant is at 70'percent capacity but
is not expected to reach 100 percent capacity for 10 years. The
procedure should be to get that next phase designed, permitted, and
ready to go when needed. Director Pinto pointed out that the
County currently has approximately 6,000 permitted units that are
not built, and he felt it would be foolish to build capacity beyond
that 6,000 units, which represents about 15 years worth of
development.
OMB Director Joe Baird related that he had an issue that he
would like presented to the Legislative Delegation concerning
W
BOOK 87 Feur l '0 3
1� J
BOOK. 87 F' �•, U0 q
Article V funding. The State has been passing on an ever-
increasing share of Court system costs to the County, and he felt
we need legislation to prevent the State from doing this, because
these costs are increasing more rapidly than anything else in the
County's budget. Director Baird cited several examples of costs
previously paid by the State that the County now must pay.
Chairman Eggert pointed out that the hospital indigent study
group was talking about how to provide the community with more
cost-effective medical service, and the County ended up paying more
to the hospital. It is a problem all the way around.
Commissioner Scurlock felt that having the state adequately
fund what it mandates is a very important issue, and he believed
that the 3 percent cap on increases in property assessments will
compound the problem.
Commissioner Bowman predicted that the three percent cap will
be repealed once it is understood by the electorate.
Additional discussion ensued regarding the widening of State
Road 60, which will be a top priority item to be brought to the
Legislative Delegation.
Chairman Eggert indicated that any other requests should be
forwarded to her or to Attorney Vitunac.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board authorized out -of -
county travel for staff to attend the Florida
Association of Counties meeting.
Chairman Eggert commended Roland DeBlois for his hard work
above and beyond the call of duty in connection with the Land
Acquisition Referendum.
Commissioner Bird asked if John Orcutt will be honored for his
efforts, and Chairman Eggert replied that something is being
planned. She also thanked staff for their efforts in connection
with the business incentive program.
SAMARITAN CENTER HEALTH AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES GRANT
Chairman Eggert announced that the Samaritan Residential
Center for Homeless Families applied for a grant to assist the
homeless through the Department of Health and Rehabilitative
Services and requested the Board's approval of their application.
24
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously approved
and authorized the Chairman to execute the
Certification of Local Approval for Non -Profit
Organizations, as requested by Health and
Rehabilitative Services.
PILOT CLUB PETITION REGARDING WIDENING OF S.R. 60
Chairman Eggert related that the Pilot Club had asked all the
Board members to sign a petition requesting the widening of State
Route 60 as soon as possible.
Beth Magelin, representing the Pilot Club, stated that her
organization believes it is in a position to influence enough
people to spearhead this movement. The Pilot Club is going present
the petition to the Florida Department of Transportation meeting in
two weeks.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bowman, SECONDED by
Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously adopted
Resolution 92-203, Urging the Florida Department of
Transportation to Give High Priority to the Widening
