DESIGNATING OCTOBER 30, 1993
AS
CHILDREN'S ART FESTIVAL DAY
IN
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA
COOK 90 FAGr R34
WHEREAS, the Children's Art Festival, sponsored by the
Center for the Arts, will celebrate its thirteenth anniversary;
and
WHEREAS, the theme for this year's festival will be "Wear
Your Art." This event provides the opportunity for hands-on art
experiences for young people of all ages, preschoolers through
teens. The entire family can enjoy the student art displays,
entertainment, music and food available throughout the day; and
WHEREAS, the reason the Children's Art Festival came into
existence was because there was a concern by those involved in
establishing a Center for the Arts that the youth of the area
were underexposed and given limited opportunities to participate
in visual arts activities. Since the inception of the Children's
Art Festival twelve years ago, art instruction in the school
systems, both public and private, has increased significantly
making art and humanities awareness an enriching part of the
lives of the young people in our community:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA that October 30,
1993 be designated as
CHILDREN'S ART FESTIVAL DAY
in Indian River County, and the Board expresses its appreciation
to the many hard working volunteers for instituting and
continuing this fine program for the youth in our community.
Adopted this 26 day of October, 1993.

RE: Resolution Reaffirming the County's Willingness and
Ability to Cost -Share Acquire the Wabasso Scrub Site
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of October 26, 1993. _
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
In January, 1993, county staff, as authorized by the Board of
County Commissioners and endorsed by the County Land Acquisition
Advisory Committee (LAAC), submitted an application to the Florida
Communities Trust (FCT) program for 50% funding of a property
referred to as the "Wabasso Scrub" site. The Wabasso Scrub site is
approximately +110 acres in size, located northwest of the C. R.
510/ Kings Highway intersection.
In May, 1993, FCT approved the project application for state cost -
share funding. Subsequently, in accordance with state procedures,
the FCT Governing Body and the County Commission executed a
"Conceptual Approval Agreement" relating to the project. This
Agreement (FCT Contract #94 -CT -37 -92 -2A -A1-018) was approved by the
Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of July 6,
1993.
Section II, Paragraph 3 of the Agreement, under the heading of
"requirements that must be met prior to initiation of project site
negotiation" states that:
"No later than October -31, 1993, the FCT Recipient must
provide FCT a Resolution(s) stating that:
a. the FCT Recipient is ready, willing and able to provide
the local match;
b. the FCT Recipient reaffirms the representations made in
FCT Application #92-018- P2A; and
C. the FCT Recipient shall, on the anniversary date of the
approval of the project plan by the FCT Governing Body,
prepare and submit to FCT an annual report as required by
Rule 9K-4.013, F.A.C." -
This matter is presented to the Board to consider adopting the
attached resolution to fulfill the referenced Agreement
requirement.
4
ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS
The proposed resolution reaffirms aspects of the Wabasso Scrub
cost -share acquisition project that the County agreed to in
executing the Conceptual Approval Agreement. No change has
occurred regarding the status.of the project that would warrant a
reconsideration of the conditions of the Agreement. Failure on the
part of the County to adopt a resolution in accordance with the
Agreement would jeopardize state approval of the estimated $480,500
in matching funds.
Although the County is reaffirming its willingness and ability to
participate in the FCT cost -share acquisition of the Wabasso Scrub
site, the County still has the option not to acquire the subject
property if acquisition -negotiations are unsuccessful.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the
attached resolution, to fulfill requirements of the Wabasso Scrub
Conceptual Approval Agreement with the Florida Communities Trust.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously (4-0,
Chairman Bird being absent) adopted Resolution
93-182 reaffirming the County's willingness and
ability to participate in a cost -share acquisition
with the Florida Communities Trust (FCT) of a
property known as the Wabasso Scrub Site, as
recommended by staff.

D. Renewal of Abandoned Flow Well Plugging Agreement with St

County Administrator

DATE: October 18, 1993
RE: Renewal of Abandoned Flow Well
Plugging Agreement with SJRWMD
It is requested that the data presented herein be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of October 26, 1993.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
Since 1989, the County has participated in a 50/50 cost share
program with the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD)
J' to plug abandoned artesian wells. As a result of this program, 71
wells have been plugged or repaired in Indian River County, saving
approximately 16.7 million gallons per day (mgd) of ground water.
Under the program, the County has allocated a total of $30,000
($15,000 for utilities property, $15,000 for ,county -wide private
property) on a fiscal year basis. In turn, SJRWMD has matched the
county's funds with $30,000 of their own, resulting in a total of
$60,000 per fiscal year allocated for well plugging.
The original agreement for the well plugging program was executed
on October 3, 1989 to plug abandoned wells on County Utilities
property. In March, 1990, the agreement was amended to apply
county -wide. The original agreement has been amended three times
.as part of an annual renewal process. A fourth amendment to the
agreement is now being brought to the Board for consideration to
renew the contract through fiscal year 1993-94.
ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS
The Board of County Commissioners has approved the allocation of
$15,000 in the Utilities Department budget and $15,000 in the
Community Development Department budget for fiscal year 1993-1994,
for the County/SJRWMD well plugging cost share program.
Abandoned flow wells result in the unnecessary consumption of
ground water. Moreover, artesian flow wells tend to have high
chloride levels, and in turn lower water quality in the surficial
8
aquifer, which is commonly used for private potable wells. Renewal
of the attached agreement will result in the continuation of an
important and successful water quality and quantity protection
program. -
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners renew the
abandoned flow well plugging cost share agreement with the SJRWMD
for FY 1993-94 and authorize the chairman to execute the attached
agreement.
Commissioner Adams led discussion regarding the number of
wells that were plugged last year. She asked who actually does the
work, how many are left to be plugged, and how much it costs per
well to do this work.
Environmental Planning Chief Roland DeBlois explained that St.
Johns River Water Management District takes responsibility to do
the work. The Soil Conservation Service is also involved in that
during the course of their work they discover abandoned artesian
wells associated with agriculture. This program is very acceptable
to private land owners because essentially we are paying for
plugging these wells. In the past few years we have plugged the
maximum number of wells possible with the available funding, so it
has been a very successful program. We expect that the program
will continue as long as we keep finding wells. There is no
comprehensive inventory of abandoned wells right now because it is
difficult to identify them in advance. The cost of capping wells
varies from hundreds to thousands of dollars, depending on the
difficulty of the operation, and St. Johns decides which wells
deserve the attention.
Commissioner Adams suggested that we apply for grant funding
from the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Protection Program to
identify the existing wells. We need that information because
flowing wells are a detriment to the water basin and to our
aquifer.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously (4-0,
Chairman Bird being absent) approved renewal of the
abandoned flow well plugging cost share agreement
with the St. Johns River Water Management District
for Fiscal Year 1993/94, as recommended by staff.

SUBJECT: Request for Floodplain Cut and Fill Balance Waiver for Moss Residence, 2300 67th -
Street
DATE: October 18, 1993 CONSENT AGENDA
Carter Associates, Inc., on behalf of Mr. & Mrs. George Moss is requesting a waiver of the cut and
fill balance requirement of Section 930.07(2)(d) of the Stormwater Management and Flood
Protection Ordinance. The property is located on the west bank of the Indian River Lagoon on the
north side of Quay Dock Road in Government Lot 2, Section 11, Township 32 South, Range 39
East. The special flood hazard areas inundated by the 100 year flood on this site are in Zone AE
with base flood elevation of 8 and 9 feet N.G.V.D. The ten year stillwater elevation for the Indian
River, at this site, established by the May 4, 1989 F.E.M.A. Flood Insurance Study is 4.6 feet
N.G.V.D. The proposed displacement of the floodplain below 4.6 feet N.G.V.D. for which the
waiver is requested is estimated to be 12,560 cubic yards.
The project meets the cut and fill balance waiver criteria provided in Section 930.07(2)(d) I - of being
situated in an estuarine environment within the 100 year floodplain along the Indian River. The
attached letter from the applicant's engineer, signed and sealed on August 23, 1993, certifies that all
applicable Stormwater Management and Flood Protection Ordinance criteria will be met. A Type
C Flood Management System Permit is required prior to issuance of a building permit.
Approve the cut and fill balance waiver request.
Alternative No. 2
Deny the waiver request and require re -design to accomplish an on-site balance of cut and fill.
Staff recommends approval of Alternative No. 1.

ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously (4-0,
Chairman Bird being absent) approved the cut and

SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL DIS IC
SUBJECT: WETLANDS MITIGATION
Within the boundaries of the landfill site there are two wetland
areas (totalling approximately 11 acres) that are located within
future landfill areas for Segment III and Segment IV. These
wetlands are wet -weather ponds that provide very little wildlife
habitat and function primarily as stormwater storage/management
areas. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) exercised jurisdiction on
these wetlands and will require the SWDD to replace the wetlands
in-kind before we will be allowed to develop the areas within
which they are located. Unfortunately these 11 acres of wetlands
are located in such a manner as to restrict future use of
approximately 80 acres of land that will extend the life of the
existing landfill by at least 10 years. It is imperative
therefore that the SWDD pursue the elimination of these wetlands
and per the requirements of the DEP and the Corps of Engineers
replace/mitigate them through construction of similar or improved
wetlands at another location.
The mitigation process is specifically outlined and very costly
and requires that the replacement wetlands be similar in
character, vegetation and function. Further, the replacement
wetlands must be monitored over a long period of time and
assurances made that they function and vegetate as directed by
the DEP and COE.
The Utilities Department has a contract with Masteller & Moler,
Inc. to develop and implement a wetlands wastewater treatment
area for the West Subregional Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Extensive acreage of wetlands. will be created under their
supervision and most of these wetlands are of the same character
and function as the wetlands located at the landfill.

CONCLUSION
BooK 90 PA-UF844
Inasmuch as Masteller & Moler, Inc. are the engineers designing
and coordinating the construction of the wetlands for the West
Subregional Wastewater Treatment, and inasmuch as the Utilities
Department has a contract in-place with Masteller & Moler, Inc.
for these and similar services. it is prudent to have Masteller &
Moler, Inc. apply for permits from the DEP and Corps of Engineers
to eliminate the wetlands at the landfill; and mitigate their
elimination with constructed wetlands in the wetland wastewater
management area at the West Subregional Wastewater Plant.
Attached is Work Authorization #4 under an existing contract
between Utilities and Masteller & Moler, Inc. for initial
services as follows:
Task 1 - Site Assessment of Wetlands Located at the Landfill
Task 2 - Coordinate with DEP and Corps of Engineers Staff
and Negotiate a Mitigation Using Constructed Wet-
lands at the West Subregional Wastewater Facility
Task 3 - Develop an Alternative Mitigation if the Use of
Wetlands at the West Subregional Facility are
Determined Unacceptable by the DEP and Corps of
Engineers
Task 4 - Submit Permit Application to the DEP and COE for
Elimination of the Landfill Wetlands with Replace-
ment Wetlands at a Location Acceptable to the DEP
Note in the attached Work Authorization that Task #3 will be
approached under a separate work authorization if the DEP and
Corps of Engineers do not accept the West Subregional Facility
Wetlands for Mitigation and an alternative mitigative process is
needed. Additionally, no fees are outlined under this task as
the fee requirements for the task cannot be determined until some
direction is received from the DEP and COE.
If the mitigation process utilizing the wastewater treatment
wetlands is accepted by the .DEP and COE there will be no
additional cost as Task 3 will not be necessary and the expense
for the design and construction of the mitigative wetlands will
already be covered in existing contracts for the design and
construction of the wastewater treatment wetlands at the West
Subregional Facility. The cost under Work Authorization 4
outlined herein is $6,220.00. Staff believe that these costs are
reasonable.
SWDD staff requests the Board's approval of the project and
authorization for the Chairperson to sign the Work Authorization.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously (4-0,
Chairman Bird being absent) approved Work
Authorization #4 under an existing contract between
Utilities and Masteller & Moler, Inc., for services
as set.out in staff's memorandum.

SUBJECT: Clarification that Conveyance of Property was for Oslo Road
Right -of -Way
I have received a request from Charles E. Garris, Esq. who is writing title
insurance for the Safari Golf Course on Oslo Road. Mr. Garris asks the
Board to adopt a resolution confirming that the deed recorded in O.R. Book
857 at Page 1202 of the Public Records of Indian River County, Florida was
accepted by the County pursuant to Planning and Zoning Commission minutes
and recommendations set forth on November 9, 1989, and that the dedication
was for right-of-way. The purchaser's attorney is concerned that the
conveyance of a 30 -foot strip of land without express acknowledgment that it
is for right-of-way could landlock his property. They have requested that
for purposes of title insurance the Board adopt the attached resolution
confirming that this right-of-way which the County obtained in exchange for
impact fee credits was for right-of-way purposes for Oslo Road.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the attached resolution and authorize the Chairman's signature.
2. Authorize the Clerk to provide a certified copy of the resolution with
attachments to Mr. Garris for recording.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously (4-0,

183 confirming that the deed recorded in O.R. Book

Dear Mr Chandler:
I respectfully submit the attached reports of the Division of
Forestry's Fire Control and Cooperative Forestry Assistance
activities for the FY 92/93.
I am requesting that the above reports be presented to the
Commissioners by Forester Tim Elder and myself. At that time we
would like to introduce our new District Manager, Jim Rath.
The reports and introduction should not take more than fifteen
minutes. If your agenda will allow, we would like to present the
reports in October. Please advise on the date that we can appear in
front of the Commissioners.
If you have any questions about the report or would like further
information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely
Bob Crawford

Joseph Spataro, Forest Area Supervisor, indicated that Tim
Elder, County Forester for Indian River County and the City of Vero
Beach, and Jim Rath, new District Manager of the Division of
Forestry were in attendance. Mr. Spataro stated that usually the
report is placed on the Consent Agenda, but this -year he wished to
appear before the Commission and present the report and present the
highlights of the projects to be completed during next fiscal year.
The Division of Forestry plans to increase prescribed burns,
working with landowners, to eliminate areas that could be potential
wildlife hazard. The number of hours expended in Donald MacDonald
Park was not reported because the park supervisor is no longer
there, so those numbers are not available. Mr. Spataro assured the
Commission that the Division of Forestry will continue their
commitment to the County and give assistance at Donald MacDonald
Park. Basically it was a good year as far as numbers of fires and
reduction of acreage. The forecast is for a dry winter but that
may be wrong and they hope for a reduction in the number of
wildfires this coming season.
Commissioner Adams asked, and Mr. Spataro responded that we
have two fire towers. The one in the Yeehaw Junction area is
active. The one located at 43rd Avenue and 4th Street is in a
reserve status because it is no longer an isolated area, and with
the increased. use of cellular telephones, the fire department is
there before a fire is spotted.
Commissioner Macht thought that the Division of Forestry
should be invited to the meetings of the Land Acquisition Advisory
Committee, and Community Development Director Bob Keating reported
that staff has been in touch with Mr. Spataro and will work with
the Division of Forestry during the management phases of scrub
sites.
Tim Elder, our County Urban Forester, came before the Board
and reported that from July 1992 through January 30, 1993, his
department conducted many programs. They are active in the forest
stewardship program with landowners in west county and give
assistance with land management practices. Through the newborn
seedling project approximately 200 trees were given to the parents
of newborn babies. He reported a total of 1,500 assists to City
and County residents with a total of 1,746 hours.
Jim Rath, the new District Manager of the Division of
Forestry, stated that he moved to the district about six months ago
from Lake City and it is a big change for him. The District
includes Indian River, St. Lucie, Martin, Okeechobee, Glades and
Highland Counties. He has attended meetings in Indian River County
and is aware of some concerns which will receive attention. He
25

invited the Commissioners to call him at any time for help or with
questions.
The Board members thanked the Division of Forestry
representatives for their report, congratulated them on a job well
done, and welcomed Jim Rath to our area.
REPORT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
PUBLIC DISCUSSION - REQUEST BY TREASURE COAST BUILDERS ASSOCIATION
TO SPEAR REGARDING WORKERS' COMPENSATION REFORM
Harold McDuffie, current president of the Treasure Coast
Builders Association, representing 1,000 industry members in Indian
River, St. Lucie and Martin Counties, came before the Board and
presented a resolution in support of the Association's efforts to
lobby the Florida legislature for reduction in Workers'
Compensation rates. He was sure that the Commission members
realize that the excessive Workers' Compensation rate has become an
obstruction to the revitalization of the construction* industry. He
stated that 1,100 individual members of his association will travel
to Tallahassee and on November 3 will construct a house on the
plaza in front of the Capitol to demonstrate that today's rate of
Workers' Compensation insurance is equal to 35 percent of the cost
of labor and 10 percent of the total cost of constructing a house.
Mr. McDuffie urged the Board to support the Association's effort$.
Vice Chairman Tippin agreed that the rates are beyond anything
that anyone would consider reasonable, and he supported the group's
action.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously (4-0,
Chairman Bird being absent) adopted Resolution
93-184, supporting reform of the Workers'
Compensation laws of the State of Florida.

coverage has consistently escalated over the past several years;
and
WHEREAS, the cost of maintaining workers' compensation is
becoming prohibitively expensive and reaching levels that are

the employer providing that protection.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County
Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida, that:
Section 1 That the County Commission of Indian River County
hereby supports and encourages the Legislature of the State of
Florida to examine and amend the workers' compensation laws of

coverage is becoming prohibitively expensive to the small
businessman, and to reform these laws with a goal of striking a
balance between the protection of the employee in the work force
and the cost to the employer providing that protection.
Section 2 That the County Clerk shall forward a copy of
this resolution to the Governor' -of the State of Florida, the
President of the Senate of the State of Florida, the Speaker of
the House of Representatives of the State of Florida, and the

SUBJECT: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -Day Saints' Request
Special Exception Use Approval for the Expansion of an
Existing Place of Worship
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of October 26, 1993.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
Carter Associates, Inc., on behalf of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter -Day Saints, has submitted an application for major site plan
and special exception use approval to expand an existing place of
worship. The proposed expansion involves the construction of a
21859 square foot fellowship hall, additional parking, and
interconnecting walkways. The subject site is located at 3980 12th
Street, on the north side of 12th Street approximately 1/4 mile
east of 43rd Avenue. Since the site is located in the RS -6 zoning
district and since the proposal would expand the place of worship
use by more than 10%, special exception use approval must be
granted for the project.
At its regular meeting of September 23, 1993., the Planning and
Zoning Commission recommended that the Board of County
Commissioners grant the requested special exception use approval
with the condition stated at the end of this report. Also, the
Planning and Zoning Commission granted major site plan approval
subject to the Board of County Commissioners granting special
exception use approval. The Board of County Commissioners is now
to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the special exception
use request. Pursuant to section 971.05 of the LDRs, the Board of
County Commissioners is to consider the appropriateness of the
requested use for the subject site and the surrounding area. The
county may attach any conditions and safeguards necessary to
mitigate impacts and to ensure compatibility of the use with the
surrounding areas.

6. Building Area: Existing: 7,662 sq. ft.
Proposed: 2,859 sq. ft.
Total: 10,521 sq. ft.
7. Total New Impervious Surface: A net increase of 3,952 square
feet of new impervious surface is proposed with this site plan
request.
8. Open Space: Required: 40.0%
Proposed: 58.4%
9. Traffic Circulation: The facility will continue to use the
existing paved driveway which connects to 12th Street. The
county traffic engineer has reviewed and approved the
vehicular circulation plan which includes continued use of the
existing driveway and a proposed parking lot addition.
10. Stormwater Management: The Public Works Department has
approved the proposed drainage plan for the additional area of
development on the site, and will issue a Type "A" stormwater
management permit.
11. Landscape Plan: The landscaping plan is in accordance with
Chapter 926 requirements, as well as the buffer requirements
applied to places of worship. Since the property is adjacent
to single-family residences, the required type "C" buffer
depicted along the boundaries must be field inspected and
approved by staff prior to the issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy for the addition.
12. Off -Street Parking: Required: 70 spaces

development regulations, 12th Street has a designated ultimate
right-of-way width of 100 feet. For the ultimate right-of-way
width to bei -met on 12th Street, 30 feet of additional right-
of-way will be needed from the subject site. The Public Works
Department, however, does not desire to purchase the
additional right-of-way at this time. The site plan
application proposes no additional improvements within the
ultimate 12th street right-of-way or the corresponding,
ultimate front yard setback from 12th Street. All
requirements related to right-of-way dedications have been
satisfied.
30
In accordance with the county's sidewalk and bikeway plan and
the LDRs, the site plan depicts a 5' wide sidewalk for
construction along the site's 12th Street frontage.

applicable criteria for a place of worship. The place of
worship specific land use criteria are as follows:
a. No building or structure shall be located closer than
thirty (30) feet to any property line abutting a
residential use or residentially designated property;
b. Access shall be from a major thoroughfare unless
otherwise approved by the public works department;
c. Any accessory residential use, day care facility or
school upon the premises shall provide such additional
lot are as required for such use by this section and
shall further be subject to all conditions set forth by
the reviewing procedures and standards for that
particular use. Accessory residential uses may include
covenants, monasteries, rectories or parsonages as
required by these regulations;
d. Type "C" screening shall be provided along all property
boundaries where the facility is located adjacent to a
single-family residentially designated property. Type
"D" screening shall be provided along all property
boundaries when the facility is located adjacent to a

_ County Commissioners grant special exception use approval for the
proposed place of worship expansion with the following condition:
1. Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, the
applicant shall obtain planning staff approval for the
required type "C" buffer.

SUBJECT: Community Baptist Church Request for Special Exception
Use Approval for the Expansion of an.Existing Place of
Worship [AA-93-11-123/LIVE IRC #93080002-001]
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of October 26, 1993.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
Pastor Ron Barber, representing the Community Baptist Church, has
submitted an application for special exception use approval and
site plan administrative approval to expand the existing place of
worship at 12534 Roseland Road. The proposed expansion consists of
changing the use of an existing single-family dwelling to a
fellowship hall. The existing residence is adjacent to the
existing church facility. Since the site is located within the
RS -3 zoning district, and since the proposal would expand the
existing place of worship use by more than 10%, special exception
use approval must be granted for the project.
At its regular meeting of September 23, 1993 the Planning and
Zoning Commission recommended that the fioard of County
Commissioners grant the requested special exception use with the
conditions stated at the end of this report. The Board of County
Commissioners is now to grant approval, approval with conditions,
or deny the special exception use request. Pursuant to section
971.05 of the LDRs, the Board of County Commissioners is to
consider the appropriateness of the requested use for the subject
site and the surrounding area. The county may attach any
conditions and safeguards necessary to mitigate impacts and to
ensure compatibility of the use with the surrounding areas.
Staff has reviewed the submitted proposal and has granted
administrative site plan approval subject to the granting of
special exception use approval. Therefore, the administrative
approval will become effective if and when the Board of County
Commissioners grants special exception use approval.

5. Open Space: Required: 40%
Proposed: 97%
NOTE: No new impervious surface will be added to the site
as a result of the special exception use request.
6. Building Area: The existing 1,270 square foot residential

access the fellowship hall. The traffic circulation plan,
which includes use of the existing driveway and parking
facilities, has been approved by the County Traffic Engineer.
8. Off -Street Parking: Required: 40 parking spaces
Provided: 56 parking spaces

the distribution of shrubs, understory vegetation and trees
within the type "C" buffer must be inspected and approved by
planning staff prior to occupancy of the fellowship hall.
11. Utilities: County potable water and wastewater service is not
available to the site at this time. The County Utility
Services and Environmental Health Departments have no
objection to the requested special exception use approval.
12. Specific Land Use Criteria: The application must satisfy the
following specific land use criteria for the proposed place of
worship expansion:
a. No building or structure shall be located closer than
thirty (30) feet to any property line abutting a
residential use or residentially designated property;
b. Access shall be from a major thoroughfare unless
otherwise approved by the public works department;
C. Any accessory residential use, day care facility or
school upon the premises shall provide such additional
lot area as required for such use by this section and
shall further be subject to all conditions set forth by
the reviewing procedures and standards for that
particular use. Accessory residential uses may include
covenants, monasteries, rectories or parsonages as
required by these regulations;
d. Type "C" screening shall be provided along all property
boundaries where the facility is located adjacent to a
single-family residentially designated property. Type
"D" screening shall be provided along all property
boundaries when the facility is located adjacent to a
multiple -family residentially designated property.
All of the above specific land use criteria applicable to the
site have been satisfied by this site plan application.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the analysis performed, staff recommends that the Board of
County Commissioners grant special exception use approval for the
requested expansion to an existing place of worship with the
following conditions:
1. Prior to site plan release, a unity of title must be
executed to unify the three parcels that constitute the
subject site.
2. Prior to occupancy of the fellowship hall, the applicant
shall obtain planning staff approval of the required type
"C" buffer.
Commissioner Eggert asked, and Director Boling confirmed that
three parcels are to be unified, but the parcel with the church
building will remain separate. The Technical Review Committee
presented both options and the church prefers not unifying all
parcels as one. This is allowed under the ordinance because the
only type of improvement will be a mulch path to cross the property

line to connect the two parcels. Cars will be parked in the church
parking lot and people will walk to the other building on the mulch
path. This allows for the possibility of sale of the parcel in the
future and it could revert to a single family house.
Commissioner Adams led discussion regarding the driveway.
Director Boling indicated on the enlarged map a house which is
situated closer to Roseland Road, and another lot with no
improvements which could use that easement. The church plans to
use the church parking lot and not use the easement at all, but
they do not want to give it up in case the property with the
residence is sold in the future.
Commissioner Adams thought they should have the option, and if
there is a problem with the driveway, we could address it through
code enforcement.
Commissioner Eggert pointed out that use of the easement could
be addressed in the site plan.
Community Development Director Bob Keating advised that the
site plan was approved, and access to the parcel that is being
added to the church will be through the church property.
Director Boling confirmed that there will be no improvements
to the driveway. The only improvement will be the mulch path to
connect the church parking lot to the house.
Vice Chairman Tippin opened the public hearing and read aloud
the following letter:

Ron Barber, Pastor of Community Baptist Church, agreed that
there has been some discussion regarding the driveway. He reported
that there were meetings with the owner of the property to the
north and he was assured that the church will not use that driveway
at all. Cars will not have room to park there because of the
required type C buffer. All cars will park in the church parking
lot which is paved. The church wants to be a good neighbor.
The Vice Chairman determined that no one else wished to be
heard and thereupon closed the public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously (4-0,
Chairman Bird being absent) granted special
exception use to Community Baptist Church for the
expansion of an existing place of worship with the
conditions set out in staff's memorandum.

Staff recommends approval of Change Order Number 7 as submitted and
requests authorization for the Chairman to execute the applicable
documents.
General Services Director Sonny Dean pointed out that the
Board received extensive backup material regarding this item. He
further explained that he invited the project team members to
address the Board regarding the details of the change order.
Gary Glenewinkle, vice president and project executive from
Centex Rooney, explained that a large portion of the change order
deals with air quality issues. The Courthouse Advisory Committee,
with Commissioner Macht serving on that committee, has done
extensive research, involving all the users of the courthouse and
the engineering team. In February 1993 the committee hired Gee &
Jenson to review the entire set of plans and specifications for air
quality issues. In August, Gee & Jenson submitted a report and the
Courthouse Advisory Committee decided to make all the changes that
were recommended in that report. Mr. Glenewinkle emphasized that
in the last two -y4--ars the issue of air quality in new construction
has been studied very closely. If this project were done two years
ago, none of this effort- would have been exerted, so it was not
error or an oversight. Mr. Glenewinkle addressed the individual
items of the change order and explained the reasons for each item.
42
Commissioner Adams asked about the miscellaneous changes in
Item #9, and Project Engineer Jim Keeven explained that the major
costs involved the ductwork, conduit, controls and added filters
for the air handlers.
Mr. Glenewinkle advised that two issues were not included in
the change order and must be addressed. One item is moving all
insulation to the outside of the air handling system so the
insulation is not in the air flow. The other item is relocating an
exterior louver. The bus which transports prisoners is not
supposed to stop there ordinarily, but if it does, the louver can
be closed to prevent diesel fumes from entering the system.
Commissioner Eggert asked for an explanation of Item #3, the
change in the dimensions of the entry portico.
Steve Krone of the architectural firm of Pierce, Goodwin,
Alexander & Linville (PGA&L) explained that some foundations and
stem walls had not been shown on the bid documents and there were
dimensional discrepancies which had to be corrected at a cost of
$2,924.
Commissioner Eggert asked whether Item #8 involved existing
sewer and water lines. Mr. Glenewinkle explained that it involved
not existing lines but new water and sewer lines which had to be
adjusted because they entered the building at the same level as the
footing for the foundation.
Commissioner Macht asked whether the change in the roof slope
had anything to do with aesthetics, and Mr. Glenewinkle responded
in the negative. The change was to add drains and move some
drains.
- Mr. Glenewinkle pointed out that the American Institute of
Architects sets percentages on governmental projects as to change
orders. This project is well under those percentages, and he looks
forward to continuing in that position.
County Administrator Jim Chandler agreed, and advised that we
are one half of one percent over on the whole project. He
presented the following status report showing costs and changes in
contract price:

Davis recapped Mr. Donaldson's background, which included
experience with the Army Corp of Engineers in various coastal
projects around :-the county, experimental design of breakwater
projects, work on wave tanks, and monitoring of completed coastal
projects. Since becoming -a staff member, Mr. Donaldson worked with
Department of Environmental Protection and the Army Corp of
Engineers regarding the obstacles in the South Beach area.
The Board members welcomed Don Donaldson to the County.
►rl
Don Donaldson advised the Board that he has been in
communication with the Army Corps of Engineers and our South Beach
obstacle problem is on their list of projects. There are
procedures to be followed, but the fact that it is a hazard will be
impetus for initiating that project a little more quickly. There
is a possibility of unexploded ordnances in that area and we will
continue to follow up to expedite the project.
Discussion ensued regarding the obstacles and the possibility
of danger to swimmers.
Bill Roolage, 11 Vista Garden Trail, asked why these obstacles
could not be made into an extension of the PEP reef.
Commissioner Adams explained that the PEP reef is a different
design. The obstacles could possibly be used to create a fishing
reef and that possibility has been discussed with staff.

SUBJECT: RIVER ROADS/DURRANCE/MASSEY (NORTH OF C.R. 510)
LOW PRESSURE FORCE MAIN SEWER COLLECTION SYSTEM
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. US -92 -38 -CS
On May 11, 1993, the Indian River County Board of County
Commissioners approved a work authorization with Marshall, McCully
and Associates for engineering, design, and inspection in the amount
of $20,067.90. Under a continuing services contract, Marshall,
McCully and Associates were to design a low pressure sewer system
for a service area of 70± lots. There is a potential threat posed
to the Indian River lagoon from septic tanks in this area (see
attached letter from HRS, minutes, and agenda item).
ANALYSIS
We are proposing only to have the engineer design and inspect the
low pressure force main, as well as all required power conduit.
This design will duplicate the Rockridge sewer system almost
exactly. The lift stations will be designed; however, we do not
intend to construct them with this project unless people voluntarily
wish to connect at the contract amount. This will allow homeowners
to connect to the system in the future as they wish. At the time of
home connections, we will either install the stations ourselves or
allow the homeowner to have his home connected as a separate utility
project. All homeowners will be provided lift station and wiring
detail. Total estimated construction, engineering, and
administrative costs are estimated to be $234,666.27. This cost per
square foot is $0.15017978086. This project is to be funded through
the assessment of property owners along the proposed sewer route.
In the interim, financing will be through the use of impact fee
funds.
Due to the extremely high costs of this project to the property
owners with the necessary surveying, engineering, design work, and
associated costs, staff is seeking conceptual approval to send
notification of estimated costs to the property owners and
scheduling an informational meeting prior to proceeding with this
project and expending any additional funds for outside design and
surveying services. After obtaining input from property owners,
staff would come back to the Board of County Commissioners with a
recommendation regarding project direction and possibly Resolutions
I and II for commencement of the project.
RECOiMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners conceptually approve proceeding with
this proposed project. At a later date, staff would come back to
the Board with a preliminary assessment roll and Resolutions I and
II to establish a public hearing date.

Director Pinto further explained that there are no established
easements and rights-of-way and we must do a considerable amount of
surveying. The road meanders, and we are dealing with private
property containing a lot of marsh. There is a need for sewers in
that area because it borders the river and there is a very high
water table. The septic tanks that exist were built on mounds
above ground. That method raises the septage but it seeps out
below, runs down to the water table and moves laterally. It is an
area of priority as far as the Department of Health is concerned
and, of course, we have the responsibility. Because it is
expensive we want to move cautiously to make sure that we get as
much input as possible from the people who live there.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously (4-0,
Chairman Bird being absent) conceptually approved
proceeding with the Low Pressure Force Main Sewer
Collection System at River Roads/Durrance/Massey, as
recommended by staff.
SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL DISTRICT
Vice Chairman Tippin announced that immediately upon
adjournment the Board would reconvene sitting as the Board of
Commissioners of the Solid Waste Disposal District. Those Minutes
are being prepared separately.
There being no further business, on Motion duly made, seconded
and carried, the Board adjourned at 10:10 a.m.
