SUBJECT: MISCELLANEOUS BUDGET AMENDMENT - 022 /
CONSENT AGENDA
FROM: Joseph A. Bair
OMB Director 'k
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
The attached budget amendment is to appropriate funding for the following:
1. Building and Grounds Department had to replace an unsafe vehicle in
the current fiscal year which had not been budgeted for. This entry is
to appropriate the funding.
2. Indian River County Utilities has completed the assessment project for
wastewater service to Blue Cypress Lake, a county owned park. The
assessment for Blue Cypress is $121,367.
ON
3. The Department of Emergency Services received an Emergency
Management Assistance Agreement (EMA) for fiscal year 1992/93 in
the amount of $31,966. This is an increase of $5,099 over the previous
year. The Board approved the purchase of a computer and software
with the additional funds on March 2, 1993. This entry appropriates
funding for the capital equipment.
4. The Friends of Sebastian Library made a donation of $1,025. This
entry will appropriate the funding.
5. Housing Authority presently has a negative cash balance. This seems
to be the result of the Authority not receiving a $15,000
recreation/culture grant they had budgeted. Presently, the budget office
is estimating the Housing Authority will need $20,000 to complete the
year. The attached budget amendment transfers from General Fund
Contingency for the shortfall.

IiI.�I ST. JOHNS RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT
FACT SHEET
Programs benefit citizens, water bodies, wildlife
The proposed $107.5 million budget tentatively accepted by
the District's governing board in July represents a 7.2 percent
increase above the current year's $100.4 million spending plan.
Increases in unfunded legislative mandates, land acquisition,
project operation and maintenance costs coupled with cutbacks
in state funding necessitate an increase in the District's primary
funding source — an ad valorem (property) tax.
The District's governing board has held the line on taxes since
the late 1980s, with small millage increases in 1989 and 1990
(see graphic below).
While that strategy was fiscally conservative, it forced the
District to cut back on several important programs in an effort to
save money. The District is now trying to make up for lost ground
dealing with decades of environmental abuse while balancing the
needs of a growing population with a dwindling natural resource.
"Ask someone to take on more and more work without increas-
ing their budget to pay for that work, before long he'll either go
bankrupt or stop doing his job," said Joe Hill, District governing
board chairman.
'That's the case we're in, but we can't declare bankruptcy
and we can't refuse accepting increased, unfunded legislative
mandates or abandon the work we've begun. So to accomplish
our goals, there's only one avenue left to us.'
At its July meeting, the board set the tentative millage rate at
.555 mill. The current rate, which has remained constant since
1990, is .358 mill. This new rate will generate an increase of
$20 million in revenue and means a property owner would be
assessed 55.5 cents for every $'1,000 of property value.
Put another way, a homeowner with property valued at

$100,000 who is able to claim a homestead exemption would
pay $41.63 in annual water management taxes.
This year's increase in water management taxes for this
homeowner would be $14.78.
While legislative funding has declined in the past four years,
mandates coming from the state have increased. Unfunded
mandates the District must pay for include:
• Streamlined permitting
• Establishing minimum flows and levels for water bodies in
the 19 counties in the District
• Development of a Comprehensive Water Management Plan
• Identifying future Water Supply Needs and Sources
• Developing Wellhead Protection Programs to safeguard
public water supplies
• Identifying and plugging thousands of abandoned
free-flowing artesian wells
Our five-year land acquisition plan has identified a need for
$100 million per year to purchase critically endangered lands.
Our budget targets approximately $30 million this year to begin
meeting this goal. The recession has reduced revenues for the
state's "Save Our Rivers" fund, a major funding source of the
District's land -buying program. To make up this shortfall,
$7 million of ad valorem monies are earmarked for land
acquisition in the 1993-94 budget. Even so, this is still 11%
below last year's funding level for purchasing lands.
Additionally, state funding for the Surface Water Improve-
ment and Management (SWIM) program has been slashed
from its original levels each year since 1990. SWIM is a state-
wide program established in 1987 to restore and protect
Florida's lakes, rivers and bays. The District currently has four
SWIM restorations — Lake Apopka, Indian River Lagoon,
upper Ocklawaha River and lower St. Johns River.
The District is near completion of the nation's largest
flood control and wetland restoration project, the rehabilitation
of the St. Johns River's headwaters. This project addresses the
long-term water quality and quantity concerns for the entire
river. It also improves water quality in the Indian River Lagoon
because it directs water westward to the St. Johns, as nature
intended.
Some construction and scientific projects for these restora-
tions have been deferred in recent years to keep our millage
rate low. We now are at a crossroads after years of research,
planning and progress. Do we stop funding now when the diag-
noses and cures have been found and waste the public's mon-
ey that's already been spent? Or do we have the courage to
find the money to implement the treatment? Waiting a few
years will only increase the cost and further degrade the health
of these imperiled water bodies.

I A ST. JOHNS RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT
FACT SHEET
Restoration helps heal river's headwater marshes
A century ago, the vast marshes of central and
south Florida were drained in the name of progress.
Cities, towns, farms and citrus groves sprang up
where wetlands had formed the headwaters of two
major river systems in Florida—the St. Johns River
flowing north, and the Kissimmee -Okeechobee chain
flowing south to the Everglades.
Restoration efforts to repair the unintended effects
to the environment have begun. Planning is underway
to restore the Kissimmee River -Lake Okeechobee -
Everglades system.
Meanwhile, a $165 million restoration of the
St. Johns River's headwaters and marshes is more .
than half complete. The St. Johns River Water Man-
agement District, in partnership with the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, is using one of the methods pro-
posed by South Florida water managers to rescue the
Everglades—the creation of marshy reservoirs to hold
water and filter out pollutants.
The Upper St. Johns River Basin Project is an
ambitious flood control and river restoration effort that
will more than double the functional wetlands in the
river's headwaters region. When finished in 1995, the
project will have restored more than 125,000 acres of
marshlands to hold water for fish and wildlife and to
feed the river in dry seasons.
A 100–mile system of levees, spillways, weirs and
culverts will divert polluted agricultural discharge into
I arge reservoirs for reuse and will hold flood
waters in the marshes for gradual release to
the river.
The project will serve as a national model of
floodplain management, according to Maurice
Sterling, assistant director of engineering for
the water management district, who heads the
Upper St. Johns Project.
Located in east -central Florida, the project
stretches north from the Florida Turnpike for
85 miles through Indian River and Brevard
counties. A central feature of the project is
Blue Cypress Lake and its surrounding marsh-
es, now one of the top sport fisheries in the
state.
Much of the project area consists of old
floodplain, almost two-thirds of which was
diked off and drained in the early 1900s for
agricultural development of the rich peat soils.
After a series of floods in the 1940s, Congress created
a flood control project for the 2,000–square mile basin.
Dikes and canals were built to funnel water toward the
Indian River Lagoon. Environmental concerns stopped
the project in the early 1970s.
The St. Johns River Water Management District took
over the project area in 1977 and hammered out a plan
to revitalize the river's flow by restoring drained marsh-
lands, plugging canals and building reservoirs. As part of
the plan, several water control structures will allow water
to "sheet flow" unimpeded through the river's marshes.
Farm drainage will go into reservoirs instead of the
river or the marsh, and farmers will reuse the drainage
water for needed irrigation.
There are major benefits to returning the headwater
marshes — the river's liquid heart and kidneys — to the
upper St. Johns basin. The project will:
• Reduce damage from floods
• Improve water quality
• Curtail freshwater flows to the Indian River Lagoon
• Restore fish and wildlife habitat
• Increase public recreational opportunities
Water managers acknowledge that at best, their
efforts are corrective surgery to restore the river to
functional — not prime — conditions. But the project will
help balance the special needs of the river, the people
and creatures who depend on it for many years to come.

Mr. Dean reported that the St. Johns River Water Management
District (the District) is one of 5 in the state that were created
under the 1972 Florida Water Resources Act, and that regional water
management is based on hydrologic basins rather than on political
boundaries. The District is governed by 9 unpaid members who are
appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the State Senate to
serve 4 -year terms. The governing board has determined that
purchasing ecologically important lands is preferable to imposing
strict regulations on private property owners. In addition, the
lands acquired are available to the public for recreational use.
Mr. Dean indicated that data compiled by the District is
available to local governments, and educational programs are
available to interested teachers.
Mr. Dean concluded his presentation by inviting anyone who has
any questions or would like to be taken on an airboat tour of the
marshes to call him at the District office.
Chairman Bird agreed that recreational benefits derived from
these lands are a good tradeoff for the loss of the land for other
uses. He felt that some of the areas should be accessible by land
in order for more people to be able to enjoy them. For example,
the area west of Vero Beach on SR -60 would be ideal for hunting and
fishing activities, but a levee is not scheduled for construction
until 1995 or 1996. He asked if there was anything the Board could
do to help expedite construction of that levee, or find another way
to access that property.
Mr. Dean suggested that the Commissioners join him when
General Art Williams, chief of the Army Corps of Engineers, visits
the project site in late September, and they could discuss this
issue at that time.
Chairman Bird suggested that the Board send a letter to
General Williams prior to his visit.
Commissioner Adams agreed that marsh restoration has been a
financial boon to the County. She brought up the fact that
although most of the airboat operators are careful, there are
hotrodders and she suggested limiting the number of airboat
launching sites to maintain more control.
Mr. Dean responded that airboat access is a low priority issue
at this time, but it will be revisited in the future.
Jim Granse, 36 Pine Arbor Lane, felt that increasing ad
valorem taxes 55% was excessive in these tough times and questioned
the need for hiring 62 new personnel.

Mr. Dean explained that for the last three years the millage
rate remained constant. This year the governing board determined
that the proposed increase is necessary, and that .55 mills is not
too great a burden on taxpayers. He stressed that it will cost
taxpayers a lot more money 10 or 20 years from now if we do not
take care of our water resources today. Another problem is the
state was paying 80% of all costs but in 1990 stopped all funding
to the District.
Commissioner Tippin pointed out that it is getting to be a
serious problem with the state continually passing costs on to
local government.
Bill Koolage, 815 26th Avenue, felt that the public needs more
information about how costs are allocated, how we arrived at this
millage rate, how much the water 'supply depends on the headwaters,
and how much water we use in this county. He wondered whether
areas with larger populations should contribute more to the
District.
Public Works Director Jim Davis thanked Mr Dean for his
efforts to help county and city engineers with some problems they
are having with water quality permitting guidelines.
Chairman Bird thanked Mr. Dean for his presentation.

SUBJECT: Mark Mosshart's Request for Major Site Plan and Special
Exception Approval for a Used Car Dealership to be Known
as Alison Auto Brokers
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of August 24, 1993.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
EGI Group has submitted an application for major site plan and
special exception approval on behalf of Mark Mosshart to construct
a used car dealership to be known as Alison Auto Brokers. The
property address is 1190 7th Court. This site is located at the
southeast corner of the intersection of 12th Street and 7th Court;
the site, until recently, contained a single-family home. The
house, however, was removed in anticipation of the proposed
project. The subject property is zoned CG, a district which
requires special -exception use approval for a used car dealership.
Pursuant to Section 971.05 of the LDRs, the Board of County
Commissioners is to consider the appropriateness of the requested
use based on the submitted site plan and suitability of the site
for that use. The Board may approve, approve with conditions or
deny the special exception 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 August 12, 1993 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission
voted unanimously to grant major site plan approval contingent upon
Board of County Commissioners approval of the special exception
use, and voted to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners
approve the special exception use. Included in the Planning and
Zoning Commission's action was a recommendation that the Public
Works Director reconsider his decision requiring the removal of the
project's 12th Street driveway. Please see item #7 in the staff
report for more information regarding this condition.

7. Traffic Circulation: The applicant is proposing two driveways
for the project, one 24' two-way driveway off of 7th Court and
a 24' two-way driveway off of 12th Street. Pursuant to
Section 952.12(1)(a) (see attachment 4), the public works
director is requiring that the driveway along 12th Street be
removed. Section 952.12(1)(a) states that projects which have
frontage on two roadways shall access the roadway of lower
functional classification (in this case 7th Court). That LDR
section also gives the Public Works Director the discretion to
allow the applicant to access the roadway of higher functional
classification, if such access would result in a better
traffic circulation system. The Public Works Director has
determined that the safest plan is to access only 7th Court.
The applicant is not in agreement with this requirement.
S.

10.
It is the opinion of the public works director that the
project does not need access to 12th Street, given the
project's size, use, and the proposed driveway's distance from
7th Court. The public works director's main concern is to
preserve the level of service for 12th Street by minimizing
curb cuts.
As proposed, the driveway to 12th Street would create another
intersection that could degrade the level of service on 12th
Street by adding another friction point. Vehicles making left
turns from the project's proposed 12th Street driveway onto
12th Street will have a conflict with vehicles turning right
on 12th Street from 7th Court. Also, by limiting the number
of intersections, the right turn maneuvers from 12th Street
will be concentrated, limiting the frequency that vehicles on
12th Street must brake to turn right and will eliminate any
conflict between a vehicle turning left from the project's
12th Street driveway and a vehicle turning right onto 12th
Street from 7th Court. The intersection essentially adds
another decision point for drivers and another opportunity for
vehicular conflict. Therefore, in the opinion of the public
works director, the driveway should not be approved.
At its August 12, 1993 meeting, the Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended that the Public Works Director
reconsider his decision to have the applicant eliminate the
project's 12th Street driveway. The Public Works Director has
reviewed the issues involved with the project's proposed
driveway to 12th Street and has reaffirmed his decision that
the 12th Street driveway should be eliminated.
Off -Street Parking: Required: 5 spaces
Provided: 5 spaces
Stormwater Management: The stormwater management plan has
been approved by the Public Works Department, and a type "A"
permit will be issued.
Landscape Plan: The landscape plan is in conformance with
Chapter 926.

The project will connect to both County water and
These connections have been approved by the

Since the project consists of two lots, a unity of title is
required to join the two lots as one area of development, thus
erasing the interior property lines for setback purposes. The
applicant has agreed to execute a unity of title prior to site
plan release.
12. Dedication & Improvements: The CG zoning district regulations
require that sidewalks be constructed as -a required
improvement for all developments within the CG zoning
district. The applicant will maintain the existing sidewalk
along the project's 12th Street frontage and construct a.5'
wide public sidewalk along the project's 7th Court frontage.
13. Concurrency: The applicant has submitted an -acknowledgement
form stating that the applicant will obtain an initial
concurrency certificate prior to the issuance of a building
permit.
14. Specific Land Use Criteria: The following specific land use
criteria apply:
a. No such establishment shall be permitted on a lot of
record having less than ten thousand (10,000) square feet
in a CG district or fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet
in a CH district;
b. All outdoor vehicular display areas and off-street
parking areas shall have paved surfaces which meet the
standards of Chapter 954. For the purpose of this
chapter, vehicular display areas shall be paved areas
where vehicles for sale are on display. Off-street
parking areas shall be paved areas maintained for
customer and employee parking;
c. No vehicular- sales office (building) shall be located
closer than twenty-five (25) feet to any property line
except any property line that is abutting a railroad
right-of-way in which case the structure shall not be
located closer than ten (10) feet. Also, no vehicular
display areas shall be located closer than ten (10) ten
feet to any property line;
d. The site shall .provide for separation of vehicular
display areas and off-street parking areas;
e. All designated outdoor vehicular display areas shall
provide for a minimum of three hundred (300) square feet
per vehicle. Drives and maneuvering areas shall be
designed to permit convenient on-site maneuvering of the
vehicles.
The proposed project satisfies all of the above specific land
use criteria.

RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the analysis performed, staff recommends that the Board of
County Commissioners approve the special exception use with the
following conditions:
1. That the applicant revise the proposed site plan to eliminate
the driveway onto 12th Street.
2. That prior to the issuance of a C.O. for the project, the
applicant shall have constructed a sidewalk along the site's
7th Court frontage.
3. That prior to site plan release, the applicant shall execute
and record a unity of title for the project.
Public Works Director Jim Davis advised that the purpose of
Section 952.12 of our Code is to protect the integrity of arterial
roads. He indicated that 12th Street is one of the few 5 -lane
roads in the County and should be protected from vehicles slowing
down to make turning movements. He explained that the waiver
clause in the Code was written to accommodate large commercial
facilities where multiple driveways would be justified, but the
subject parcel is small and does not warrant having more than one
driveway. He recommended that the driveway be constructed off 7th
Court, which is a local access road.
Commissioner Eggert led discussion concerning the possibility
of allowing only eastbound ingress and egress.
The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone
wished to be heard in this matter.
John Hill, project engineer representing Mark Mosshart,
distributed photographs of the subject site. He pointed out that
there was a driveway onto 12th Street when Mr. Mosshart purchased
the property. He felt that the driveway would have a very minimal
impact on traffic flow, but not having it would severely hurt Mr.
Mosshart's business.
Mark Mosshart, 303 Old Dixie Highway, reported that his
business is currently on the corner of 3rd Place and Old Dixie
Highway. His current location does not have direct access onto Old
Dixie Highway which in his opinion has hurt his business. He was
convinced that many people who buy automobiles drive by a
dealership, see a car, and buy on impulse. If they are unable to
enter the property easily, they will not stop. He stressed that he
went to a great deal of expense when he bought the subject property
ONFA
LAUD 2 4 1993 600K
Fr_ 2 4 19.13,
BOOK 90 PAU -3119
because he felt that the location was better than his current
location. He assumed that the County would allow him to keep the
driveway onto 12th Street. He pointed out that the subject
property is 300 feet from U.S. 1, and 12th Street is not a heavily
traveled roadway. He felt that if he is not granted some form of
access onto 12th Street, it will hurt his business and lower the
value of the property.
Chairman Bird asked whether it would help to have a driveway
onto 12th Street with right turns only into and out of the
property, and Mr. Mosshart agreed that this might be a workable
solution.
Director Davis indicated that the subject parcel does not meet
a Code requirement that driveways must be a minimum of 230 feet
from the intersection of an arterial roadway and a local roadway.
Chairman Bird commented that although the parcel is not large
enough to meet that requirement, we should approve applicant's
request for a driveway onto 12th Street.
It was determined that no one else wished to be heard and the
Chairman closed the public hearing.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Tippin to approve the special exception
use, as recommended by staff, but modify condition
No. 1 to allow an entrance on 12th Street with right
turns only into and out of the property.
Under discussion, Commissioner Adams suggested that perhaps a
concrete barrier should be constructed to enforce the right -turn
only requirement.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
It was voted on and carried unanimously.
RESOLUTION EXPRESSING INTENT TO REIMBURSE CERTAIN EXPENDITURES FROM
THE $26.000,000 BOND ISSUE FOR THE PURCHASE OF ENVIRONMENTALLY
SIGNIFICANT LANDS
The Board reviewed the following memo dated August 17, 1993:

TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Terrence P. O'Brien - Assistant County Attorney'�Ppo
DATE: August 17, 1993
RE: RESOLUTION EXPRESSING INTENT TO REWURSE CERTAIN
EXPENDITURES FROM THE $269 000, 000 BOND ISSUE FOR THE
PURCHASE OF ENVIRONMENTALLY SIGNIFICANT LANDS
The electorate of Indian River County voted in favor of the issuance of
general obligations bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to
exceed $26,000,000.00 for the purpose of financing the cost of acquiring
environmentally significant land to protect water quality, open spaces,
and wildlife habitat in the County. It is anticipated that the initial sale
of bonds will take place in July or August of 1994.
Expenditures from the money raised by the sale of bonds may include
without limitation expenditures for the direct costs of acquisition of
environmentally significant lands, for fees 'expenses and costs of
environmental experts, consultants and advisors, for real estate
appraisers and for other items directly related . to lands acquired or
considered for acquisition.
If allowable expenditures are made before bond funds are available,
those expenditures are reimbursable if an appropriate resolution has
been adopted by the BCC prior to incurring such expense within the
one year window provided for in federal law.
A resolution is attached for consideration and adoption. Because
passage of the resolution opens the one year window, it is important
that the resolution not be adopted until just prior to obligating to
substantial expenditures. The first of such expenditures is now before
us in the form of obtaining appraisals for use in the submission of
applications for state matching funds.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously adopted
Resolution 93-149, a resolution of the Board of
County Commissioners of Indian River County,
Florida, establishing its intent to reimburse
certain expenditures for the acquisition of
environmentally significant land with the proceeds
of borrowing to be made in the future.

RE: Selection of Appraiser to Conduct "Ballpark"
Appraisal of Lost Tree and Prang Islands for
FCT Grant Application Submittal
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of August 24, 1993. _
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
At. its regular meeting on July 6, 1993, the Board of County
Commissioners voted unanimously to authorize staff to submit two
separate Florida Communities Trust (FCT) grant applications, for,,
cost -share funds to acquire the Lost Tree Islands and the Prang
Islands, with the County proposing to pay 60% of acquisition costs.
At the July 6; 1993 meeting, the Board also authorized a "ballpark"
appraisal of these properties, to be conducted by an MAI certified
appraiser for purposes of the FCT application submittal. The
submittal of these applications with certified appraiser ballpark
estimates has been endorsed by the County Land Acquisition Advisory
Committee (LAAO).
Staff have since received three bids from local certified
appraisers for an appraisal estimate of the islands. This matter
is presented to the Board for approval of appraiser selection and
for authorization to expend funds for this purpose.
ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS
Time Constraints and Assumptions
As presented at the July 6,'1993 Board meeting, The FCT program
requires an applicant to submit an accurate estimate of property
fair market value. State requirements, however, discourage formal
appraisals of property for this purpose.
The FCT application submittal deadline is September 8, 1993. FCT
staff have indicated that the County could submit revised property
cost estimates within a few weeks following formal application
submittal. For this reason, the selected appraiser must be capable
of providing a "ballpark" estimate within an approximate 3 to 4
week time period.
The Lost Tree and Prang Islands are particularly challenging to
appraise, due to a number of variables. These variables include
the State's present moratorium on bridge and utilities access to
undeveloped river islands over state sovereignty waters; local
government restrictions on the use of public rights-of-way for
bridgeheads, and pending court cases on these subjects.. Also, Lost
Tree Village Corporation has indicated that it owns submerged
bottomlands extending to the barrier island relating to three of
Lost Tree's islands, which cannot be fully researched and verified
22
_ M M
by the County prior to the application submittal deadline. Thus,
a number of assumptions regarding these variables are required for
purposes of a ballpark appraisal estimate. Also, staff have
confirmed that Idlewyld Corporation has vested local approval
regarding a preliminary plat of 20 residential lots on Prang
Island.
For purposes of the ballpark appraisal, staff assumes that the
State bridging and utilities access restrictions will stay in
effect, and that Lost Tree Village Corporation owns submerged
bottomlands extending to the barrier island, relating to three
islands proposed for acquisition.
Bids
Staff has met with four local appraisers, and has described the
nature of the ballpark appraisal request, including time
constraints and assumptions. The four appraisers/appraisal firms
from which bids were solicited were: George P. Metz Appraisal
Services; Armfield-Wagner Appraisal & Research, Inc.; Callaway and
Price, Inc.; and Napier Appraisal Services.
Of these four firms, three provided fee quotes. Napier Appraisal
Services chose not to submit a bid due to time constraints and
present workload. Callaway and Price provided an over -the -phone
quote of $7,500. The lowest bid of $3,900 was. provided by
Armfield-Wagner Appraisal & Research, Inc.
Funding Source
Funding for the ballpark appraisals may be reimbursed from land
acquisition bond referendum monies, provided the first series of
bonds are issued within one year of funding expenditure commitment
for this purpose. In the interim, county general funds could be
used.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize
the selection of Armfield-Wagner Appraisal & Research, Inc. to
conduct a ballpark "Range of Value Letter Appraisal" for the Lost
Tree and Prang Islands, within approximately three weeks, for the
cost of $3,900. Staff recommends that the Board authorize the use
of county general funds for this purpose, with said funds to be
reimbursed through the first series issuance of land acquisition
referendum bonds.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, to authorize the selection of
Armfield-Wagner Appraisal & Research, Inc., to
conduct a ballpark "Range of Value Letter Appraisal"
for the Lost Tree and Prang Islands within
approximately 3 weeks, for the cost of $3,900, as
recommended by staff.
Under discussion, Environmental Planning Chief Roland DeBlois
explained that a list of appraisers is being developed for the

PROPOSED JUNGLE CLUB ROAD RACE
The Board reviewed the following memo dated August 18, 1993:
TO: James Chandler
County Administrator
Tffi=GH: James W. Davis, P.E.
Public Works Director
FROM: Robert Zaitooni, P.E.
County Traffic Engine
SUBJECT: Proposed Jungle Club Road Race
October 9, 1993
DATE: August 18, 1993
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIDMS
The Vero Beach Jungle Club has requested permission from the Board of
County Commissioners to hold a Sk road race on state and county roadways
on Saturday, October 9, 1993, at 8:30 AN, for the benefit of the "March
of Dimes" fund.
The entire race, from start to finish, is projected to take 40 to 45
minutes with all participants being in a "moving envelope" of official
Sheriff's Department vehicles. The race will start, and end, at the
Jungle Club on 6th Avenue and utilize short segments of 6th Avenue, 17th
Street, Indian River Boulevard and 8th Street.
Since this race will take place along short segments of state and county
roads and partially falls within Vero Beach city limits, insurance
coverage holding the.Florid.a Department of Transportation, Indian River
County, and the City of Vero Beach harmless must be in hand prior to
receiving final permits for this event.
Given the proposed time, short duration of the event, and uniformed
officer, for the control of the envelope, the race can be accomplished in
a safe and efficient manner.
24
The request for approval from the Indian River County Board of County
Commissioners to hold the Jungle Club Road Race is the proposal before the
Board at this time. The following conditions shall apply:
a) The Vero Beach Jungle Club provide Indian River County with hold
harmless insurance documents carrying Indian River County,
Florida Department of Transportation and the City of Vero Beach
prior to issuance of the required permit.
b) The race course shall be in accordance with the route as
specified by the Jungle Club, starting at the Jungle Club north
on 6th Avenue to 17th Street (SR 656), east along the south side
of eastbound 17th Street to Indian River Boulevard, south to 8th
Street along the west side of Indian River Boulevard, on 8th
Street to 6th Avenue, north to the finish line at the Jungle
Club.
c) Law enforcement vehicles and uniformed personnel shall be
present for the purpose of establishing the race envelope and
traffic control.
d) All required roadway and race permits will be secured.
e) Jungle Club volunteers implement proper traffic control using
cones provided by Indian River County and uncovering the signs
installed by Indian River County Traffic Engineering. The cones
may be borrowed on Friday October 8, 1993, by the Jungle Club
and returned to Indian River County on Monday October 11, 1993.
Immediately after the race, the road signs shall be covered by
Jungle Club volunteers.
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve their
request.
Indian River County Traffic Engineering personnel will install the
necessary signs on Friday, October 8, 1993 and will remove the said signs
on Monday, October 11, 1993.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, to approve the request of The
Vero Beach Jungle Club to hold a 5K road race on
state and county roadways on Saturday, October 9,
1993, at 8:30 a.m. for the benefit of the "March of
Dimes" fund, as recommended by staff.
Under discussion, Commissioner Eggert asked whether we know
approximately how much these events cost the County.
Public Works Director Jim Davis explained that we have used as
many as 2 to 4 county employees for traffic control, and the cost
depends on the number of hours they work. The cost of a single
event is fairly low, but there are so many of these events that the
costs start to add up.

Donation of a Modular ilding to be Located
at South County Park
August 18, 1993 FILE: modul.agn
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
A modular building currently in use by the Developer of the
Castaway Cove Subdivision and located at the Subdivision is being
offered to the County by donation. This building can be used at
the South County Park for storage and possible future office space.
The Engineering Division staff received a verbal price estimate to
move the building from Brownie and Sons Moving Engineers, Inc. in
the amount of $2,750. Preparation of footings, tie downs, access
ramp and permitting will cost approximately $1500. To provide full
utilities, approximately $7000 for hook-up fees and $2000 for
impact fees would be required
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
At this time, staff proposes the following alternatives
Alternative No. 1
Accept donation of the building and appropriate $4250 for
relocation costs. The building will be used for storage
during the 93/94 Fiscal Year and utility hook-up will be
requested in the FY94/95 budget.
Alternative No. 2
Accept donation of the building and appropriate $11,250 for
relocation (which includes $7000 for utility connection
charges) and $2000 for water impact fees, for a total of
$13,250. The building can be used for a Recreation staff and
Parks office.
Alternative No. 3
Reject the donation offer.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
Staff recommends Alternative No. 1 whereby the donation of the
building is accepted and $4250 is appropriated from General Fund
Contingencies to relocate the building.
26
Chairman Bird indicated he had been watching this building,
which is located near Castaway Cove, for several years. It was
used as a sales office and is now used as a construction office.
He recently noticed that it was up on blocks and it appeared that
it might be movable. He asked the developers if they might be
willing to donate it to the County, and was pleased when they
agreed to do so. The building is approximately 14 x 27 feet, is in
excellent condition and has a restroom in it. Chairman Bird
suggested that we send a letter thanking the developers if we
decide to accept the building.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Tippin, SECONDED by
Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously accepted
the donation of the building and appropriated $4,250
from General Fund Contingencies for the cost of
relocating the building to South County Park, as
recommended by staff.
REQUEST OF CITY OF SEBASTIAN FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT

CITY OF SEBASTIAN'S REQUEST FOR WASTEWATER
TREATMENT PLANT CAPACITY FOR SEBASTIAN LAKES
DEVELOPMENT
on May 1, 1993, the City of Sebastian became the provider of
utility service within the City of Sebastian (City) as agreed by
Interlocal Agreement (Agreement) between the City and Indian
River County (County). The City said with the Agreement that it
would be providing -its own capacity --both water and wastewater --
and the County removed the City of Sebastian from its master
plan. Before taking this action, the County asked the City three
times if they were sure of their decision.
Mrl
L_ AUG 24199
BOOK 90 PACE -318
AUG 24 199' BOOK 90 FAGE319
ANALYSIS
Under the Agreement, the County provides wastewater treatment for
the City to be billed under the County bulk rate agreed to in the
Agreement. The County, at the request of the City, provides no
water service.
The City has requested, by the attached letter, "County
Commission approval for 70 ERUs of wastewater capacity in the
North Indian River County Wastewater Treatment Plant to be
purchased for the Sebastian Lakes development. This request is
understood to be only for the assurance that Sebastian Lakes will
receive County permission to allow connection to the County's
wastewater system in the future. It is further understood that
there will be no guarantee that the 70 ERUs will be reserved at
the plant for Sebastian'Lakes until such time as the impact fees
are paid in full to Indian River County."
County policy is to reserve and commit capacity only upon receipt
of payment of impact fees. The Department would agree to the
request for. 70 ERUs of capacity for Sebastian Lakes upon payment
of the required impact fees. Because the County revised its
master plan, removing the City from its water and wastewater
service area at the City's request, the Department would request
that before additional capacity is committed, the City analyze
its total requirements for capacity that it cannot serve and
submit a request for those requirements. The request would
require a revision of the Utility Master Plan and the City would
be required to pay for the revision.
RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Utility Services recommends commitment of the
70 ERUs of requested capacity upon payment of impact fees and, if
the City has decided that they cannot provide capacity as first
indicated and requests the County to provide the capacity, the
County must revise its Utility Master Plan to include the City
capacity at the City's expense.
Utility Services Director Terry Pinto advised that the City of
Sebastian previously asked to be eliminated from the Utilities
Master Plan. He probably would have recommended against providing
service to Sebastian Lakes, but this particular project was in
existence when the original Utilities Master Plan was developed,
and we can accommodate them without any major changes to the
system. Therefore, Director Pinto recommended approving the
allotment of 70 ERUs of capacity. He added that up to 400 units,
including the commercial area, could be connected eventually. The
County will bill the City of Sebastian, which will then bill the
individual customers.

n
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously agreed to
commit 70 ERUs of requested capacity upon payment of
impact fees, and if the City of Sebastian requests
additional capacity in the future, to revise the
County's Utilities Master Plan at the City of
Sebastian's expense, as recommended by staff.

exists with the New Horizons
On August lo, 1993, while finalizing all remaining utility information
at the New Horizons site, we found the sewer collection system had been
backed up for at least three days and the lift station was within
several inches of overflowing. Also, it should be noted that power
will be disconnected by Florida Power and Light in the near future due
to nonpayment. This system continues to be plagued with failures, and
we now feel that the existing lift station and wastewater treatment
plant must be taken off line immediately.
We are requesting authorization to acquire at least three quotes from
utility contractors that are currently under contract with the County,
and award a change order to the contractor with lowest quote allowing
us to proceed with the construction of the lift station and force main
in the most expeditious manner. The contract will be done as a change
order, not to exceed the project's estimated cost of $110,000.00.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners grant us authorization to acquire quotes
for and proceed with the construction of this project with no further
Board action required.

MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Tippin, to acquire quotes and proceed
with construction of a subregional lift station to
serve New Horizons Mobile Home Park with no further
Board action required, as recommended by staff.
Under discussion, Commissioner Macht asked if there was any
guarantee that we will get paid for this project.
Director Pinto responded that there is no guarantee we will
ever get paid. However, a few weeks ago their system failed and
raw sewage was overflowing onto the streets and the County had to
rectify the problem. We will continue to place liens on the
property.
Attorney Vitunac advised that our agreement with the FDIC
provides for us to get all our money back. If that does not
happen, we have the ability to foreclose on our liens.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
It was voted on and carried unanimously.
Commissioner Adams asked what when the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) expects to have the foreclosure and
sale completed.
Director Pinto responded that the foreclosure action has been
complicated by the bankruptcy action filed by the owner.
Attorney Vitunac advised that the terms of the agreement
requires the FDIC to proceed with due haste to conclude this
matter. Attorney Vitunac recommended that we give them until
October.
