SUBJECT: Final Plat Approval for Copelands Landing West PRD
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of June 21, 1994.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
Copelands Landing West is a planned residential development (PRD)
on a 10 acre parcel of property located on the north side of 73rd
Street just east of U.S. 1. With approval of the submitted final
plat, the developer will plat the boundary of the subject parcel,
create private road rights-of-way necessary to access all
buildings, will create 4 individual lots, and will create a future
development tract. In the future, the applicant will replat this
future development tract into individual lots as shown in the
approved preliminary PRD plan.
On November 10, 19881 the Planning and Zoning Commission granted
preliminary PRD plan approval to plat Copelands Landing West.
Subsequently, a land development permit was issued. Since then,
the applicant has maintained permits for project construction and
has constructed a majority of the required improvements. The
applicant now proposes to "bond -out" for the remaining required
subdivision improvements, which include drainage modifications,
Pavement repairs, and streetlights. The developer, Copelands
Landing Inc., through its agent Carter Associates, Inc., is now
requesting final plat approval and has submitted the following:
2
1. A plat in conformance with the approved preliminary PRD plat;
2. A certified engineer's cost estimate for the cost of the
remaining required improvements;
3. A contract for construction of the remaining required
improvements;
4. A cash deposit and escrow agreement, acceptable to the County
Attorney's Office, to guarantee completion of the remaining
required improvements.
ANALYSIS:
The applicant has constructed a majority of the required
subdivision improvements (including all required utility
improvements) which the Public Works and Department of Utility
Services departments have inspected and approved. The applicant
will be bonding -out for the construction of the remaining required
improvements. The public works department has reviewed and
approved the engineer's certified cost estimate and corresponding
cash deposit and escrow agreement. The county attorney's office
has also reviewed and approved the submitted contract for
construction and cash deposit and escrow agreement. It should be
noted that all improvements within Copelands West will be private,
with the exception of certain utilities facilities that will be
dedicated to Indian River County and will be warranted by the
Utility Services Department's "Bill of Sale" procedures.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board'of County Commissioners:
1. Grant final plat approval for Copelands Landing West PRD.
2. Authorize the Chairman to execute the submitted Contract for
Construction of Remaining Improvements and to execute.the Cash
Deposit and Escrow Agreement that secures the contract.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously granted

as recommended by staff.

RE: REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO APPLY FOR AN ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION PLANNING ASSISTANCE GRANT
It is requested that the
consideration by the Board
meeting of June 21, 1994.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
data herein presented be given formal
of County Commissioners at their regular
In July, 1993, Indian River County was awarded an EDA Section
302(x) planning grant in the amount of $75,000. That grant was
used to update the Commercial/ Industrial Data Source, prepare a
Promotional brochure and to pay for an economic development planner
who was hired to prepare an economic base study and an economic
development strategy plan.
In response to -a recent meeting with EDA staff, EDA has formally
invited the county to apply for a second year Section 302(a) grant.
One submission requirement is that the Board of County
Commissioners must approve a resolution authorizing submittal of
the application.
Staff has prepared the referenced -Application and has put a copy of
the application on file in the Board of County Commissioners
Office. As proposed, the application requests a ;75,000 grant from
the EDA and reflects a $25,000 local match. The match will be a
combination of in-kind services and funds already programmed for
economic development activities. No additional local funding will
be required.
Essentially, the proposed grant application involves a continuation
of those activities programmed for the initial grant period.
Because both county staff and EDA staff recognized that the
activities proposed in the initial grant reflected an ambitious
undertaking, it was acknowledged, when the initial grant
application was submitted, that completing those activities would
probably require a second year grant. Consequently, the proposed
grant reflects the following activities:

Preparation

ANALYSIS
BOOK 92 PAGE 6~J9
of an economic development strategy plan
of a fiscal impact model
of an informational brochure
As drafted, the application reflects a one year program funded with
$75,000 in EDA funds and $25,000 in local matching funds. The
referenced activities will be done in-house with existing staff.
By undertaking the activities identified in the grant application,
the county will develop a better economic development program. The
proposed strategy plan, for example, will complement the recently
revised Overall Economic Development Plan. With better data and
more detailed analysis, the strategy plan will provide a more
useful document to guide the county's economic development
activities.
Some of the proposed activities will result in tools which can be
used to prepare the strategy plan and to address economic
development issues subsequent to plan preparation. One of these is
the fiscal impact model. Another activity, distribution of an
informational brochure, is a function already programmed for the
Council of 100 to undertake. This activity will be done jointly by
county staff and the Council of 100.
It is staff's position that the proposed grant activities will
result in useful products. Since no additional county funds will
be necessary to undertake these activities, staff feels that the
county should accept EDA's invitation to apply for 302(a) grant
funds.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the
attached resolution authorizing staff to submit an EDA Section
302(a) grant application.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by

DATE: June 15, 1994
RE: Request for Authorization to Reconfigure- Habitat
Conservation Area at the South County Park
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of June 21, 1994.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
Staff is requesting that the Board of County Commissioners
authorize the reconfiguration of an existing +8 acre conservation
area at South County Park, in order to protect +9 acres of scrub
Jay habitat on the north portion of the subject property.
Staff is also requesting that the Board consider a U.S Fish and
Wildlife Service (FWS) recommendation that the County establish a
scrub conservation area on the north +5.5 acres of the adjacent
South County Reverse Osmosis (R.O.) Water Plant property.
The purpose of these proposed conservation areas is to mitigate
approximately 5 acres of scrub jay habitat identified by the FWS as
having been disturbed as a result of South County Park construction
in 1992.
Background
Subsequent to County land clearing and development of the South
County Park in 1991-92, county environmental planning staff learned
from the FWS that a portion of the- area cleared was scrub jay
habitat. Specifically, the playground area and the north half of
the baseball diamonds area were scrub jay habitat.
Michael Bentzien of the FWS, in a letter dated June 30, 1992 (see
attached), advised staff that an estimated 5 acres of scrub jay
territory had been cleared. In his letter, Mr. Bentzien indicated
that this clearing of scrub jay habitat, in violation of the
federal Endangered Species Act, could be mitigated by proper
management of all remaining scrub on-site.
Over the past two years, staff has coordinated with FWS and Florida
Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission (GFC) staff to develop a
mitigation management plan for the park property, in the context of
overall. area scrub habitat. This proposed plan is summarized as
follows:
26
* Identify by boundary survey remaining scrub
areas to be conserved by a conservation
easement or similar mechanism. The area
proposed for conservation on the park property
consists of +9 acres north and east of the
cleared baseball diamonds area (see attached
map).
* In coordination with County Utilities,
identify by boundary survey and conserve
approximately 5.5 acres of remaining scrub
habitat on the north end of the R.O. plant
property, east of and adjacent to the park.
* In coordination with the FWS, the Division of
Forestry (DOF), County Utilities, and the
School Board, manage preserved park scrub as 1
of 3 "blocks" of scrub to be subject to
prescribed burning (or mechanical management)
on a 4 year rotational basis (1 of the 3
blocks burned every 4 years; individual blocks
burned once every 12 years). The 3 blocks
are: (1) +6.4 acres of preservation area on
the east portion of the middle school site
(north of the park); (2) ±9 acres of scrub on
the park property; and (3) ±5.5 acres of scrub
on the north end of the R.O. plant property.
ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS
South County Park
When the South County Park was constructed, 8.02 acres of pine
flatwoods in the southwest portion of the park property were set
aside for conservation purposes, in order to satisfy county native
upland set-aside requirements. This +8 acres is approximately 10%
of the total. +76 acre park property (71.6 total net acres,
excluding Oslo Road right-of-way and a future library site).
Approximately 32 acres of the park property have been cleared for
existing and proposed recreational use, including: baseball
diamonds; basketball, tennis, and volleyball courts; football and
soccer fields; parking; and a playground.
Staff's proposal is to relocate the existing conservation area, +8
acres on the southwest portion of the site, to the +9 acres of
scrub (+12% of the total site) on the north portion of the
property. Since the proposed conservation area can be credited as
a replacement of the existing conservation area, that would allow
the +8 acres of existing conservation area to be developed for park
purposes. As a result of this change, there will be a net loss of
approximately one acre of potential park recreational development
area.
From the environmental standpoint, this reconfiguration of the
conservation area has the benefit of serving to protect part of an
existing remaining territory of federally threatened Florida scrub
jays. Also, this reconfiguration would consolidate the park
conservation area with a +6.5 acre preservation area on the School
Board middle school site (to the north), which is preferable to
fragmented areas.
The Public Works Department finds the proposed conservation area on
the Park property acceptable, given thescrub habitat mitigation
circumstance, provided there is some p=ovision to account for
maintenance of an existing FPL power easement on the park property.

R.O. Water Plant
Besides the reconfiguration of the South County park conservation
area, FWS staff recommend that the County establish a +5.5 acre
conservation area on the South County R.0 Plant site. The R.O.
Plant property is approximately 37.5 acres in total size (excluding
a +2.5 acre fire station on the south portion of the property) , and
currently supports a 2.5 million gallon per day (mgd) water
treatment plant. Approximately 15 acres of the R.O. Plant property
have been cleared and developed under existing plant Phase I
construction.
According to Utilities Department staff, two additional water tanks
are planned north of two existing tanks on the County R.0 Plant
site. As proposed, the +5.5 acre conservation_ area on this
property accounts for these additional tanks, and would be located
just north of the future tanks site.. To allow for future
water/waste water transmission mains and a future well location in
the proposed conservation area, staff can structure a conservation
easement to provide for such improvements.
This conservation area (+15% of the total site) would satisfy the
county's native upland set-aside requirement that would eventually
be required as part of future site construction. Moreover, in that
the FWS has identified this area as part of existing scrub jay
territory, preservation or mitigation of the area would be required
in conjunction with future site construction for compliance with
the federal Endangered Species Act. The conservation area would
serve an additional function of protecting wells with undeveloped
green -space.
Notwithstanding the above referenced points, the Utilities
Department has been reluctant to endorse the addition of
conservation restrictions on the property, citing a preference to
maintain development flexibility for potential future needs.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize
reconfiguration of the conservation area at the South County Park
to protect +9 acres of undeveloped scrub habitat on the north
portion of the site, providing maintenance allowance of an existing
FPL power easement.
Staff also recommends that the Board consider U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service's recommendation that a 5.5 acre conservation area
be established at the north end of the R.O. Plant property,
providing for future placement of a well and water transmission
mains, as needed.
Additionally, staff recommends that the Board authorize staff to
coordinate with the FWS and other appropriate agencies to manage
the conservation areas, including prescribed -burning and/or
mechanical management.
28
r � s
Following a graphic description of the proposed
reconfiguration, Commissioner Eggert asked if future mitigation on
the library site would be needed to -take care of the conservation
requirements.
Roland DeBlois, Chief of Environmental Planning, felt this
amount of land (9 acres) would be sufficient to meet the
requirements of the entire site.
Commissioner Bird was concerned about the wetland area within
the 9 acres, but Mr. DeBlois explained that the transferred area is
actually 10 acres and the wetland is within the 10 acres. There
are still 9 acres of transferred land. Commissioner Bird also
expressed concern about losing more land in the South County Park
since the Utilities Department doesn't want to lose land that they
might need for any future expansion.
Commissioner Macht felt we need to look at meeting the
mitigation requirements on some of the LAAC lands we will acquire
in the future. He pointed out that there are 4 different
organizations that have needs for this property, and he was
concerned that if we jump into this right now without thorough
study, we may find ourselves painted into a corner. We owe
ourselves and the taxpayers the opportunity to look a little closer
at this. He wished to defer this item until the Utilities
Department, the Library, the Parks & Recreation Committee, and the
School Board can come up with a consolidated plan for mitigating
this on a LAAC property with similar characteristics.
Mr. DeBlois felt that off site mitigation is a possibility,
but it would have to be done in the near vicinity.
Commissioner Adams emphasized that we have a very good
technical staff who have submitted their recommendation. We are
actually getting some wetland usage, and she would hate to see us
not do this because of a driving range. The buffer on the back
side of this is good. We can still have walking paths and we still
have access to the school property. This is an area that is
inhabited by the scrub jay. She felt that it is time we start
being an example in these types of situations because we do require
private developers to mitigate. We are actually gaining the use of
the upland property along Oslo Road, and she felt it very workable
and a very good compromise. She would like to see us stop studying
it and move on it.
Commissioner Bird recalled that the driving range was planned
by the consultant as a revenue source. It was never meant to be
free.
Commissioner Eggert questioned the. narrow road leading into
the Utilities' property, and discussion turned to the existing

wells on the property and the amount of clearing that would have to
be done for utility expansion.
Commissioner Bird liked the idea of the possibility of using
future LAAO property for mitigation.
COMMISSIONER ADAM'S MOTION TO ACCEPT STAFF'S
RECOMMENDATION FAILED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Macht, that the Board table this item
for two weeks to find out how deep this commitment
will be towards a permanent agreement with the other
agencies such as U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Under discussion, Community Development Director Robert Keating
understood then that staff in the next week is to coordinate with
the School Board and see if -it would be amenable to use the
recreation facilities at the park and, therefore, conserve what
they have planned for recreational facilities on their property.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
The motion carried by a 4-1 vote,
with Commissioner Adams dissenting.
SCHEDULING OF THE PUBLIXIM00RINGS APPEAL HEARINGS
The Board reviewed the following memo dated June 20, 1994:
TO: The Honorable Members of The
Board of County Commissioners
/n
FROM: Robert M. Keating, AICP lAAkb
Community Development Director
DATE: June 20, 1994
SUBJECT: SCHEDULE FOR MOORINGS APPEAL HEARINGS
At its meeting of June 7, 1994, the Board approved staff's request
to set. July 12, 1994, as the date at which both Moorings appeal
hearings would be held. One appeal relates to staff's
interpretation of the grocery store/supermarket definition issue,
while the other appeal concerns the site plan. To accommodate the
large number of people expected to attend that meeting, staff has
reserved the Vero Beach High School auditorium for the meeting.
30
r M �
Last week, Jack MacLean, president of the Moorings Property Owners
Association, requested that staff ask the Board to separate the two
hearings and -hold them on different dates. Mr. MacLean 's position
is that both hearings, together, may take as long as six hours, and
he feels that such a long time would adversely affect both parties.
His suggestion is to have the hearings at separate meetings, where
each appeal could take up to three hours. He feels -that, with
separate hearings, each appeal would get more detailed
consideration.
At Mr. MacLean's request, staff contacted Halvorsen Development,
Inc., the site plan applicant and other party involved in the
appeals. It is Halvorsen's position that the appeals should not
be separated, but instead be heard at the July 12, 1994 meeting.
Based upon Planning and Zoning Commission meetings on these issues,
staff expects 150 to 300 people to attend the Board meeting or
meetings on the appeals. If the appeals are heard at the same
meeting, staff expects the two hearings to last between four and
six hours.
Deputy County Attorney William G. Collins II advised that
because the developer filed an application for appeal, the hearing
must be heard in a timely manner. If not, the developer could be
denied due process and there could be liability. The appeals
should be held at the same time for legal and practical reasons.
By law, the County must hold a public hearing within 30 days of the
submission of a zoning appeal.
It was the consensus of the Board to make no changes in the
scheduling of the appeals; both appeals will be heard on July 12,
1994 at 9:00 a.m. in the Vero Beach High School auditorium.
SCHEDULING OF PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ORDINANACE FOR ASSESSMENT
OF.$12.50 SURCHARGE ON MOVING TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS TO ASSIST IN
FUNDING AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL RADIO COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM (800 MHz)
The Board reviewed the following memo of Emergency Services
Director Doug Wright dated June 10, 1994:

TO: Honorable Board of County Commissioners

Emergency Services
DATE: June 10, 1994
SUBJECT: Assessment and Implementation of $12.50 Surcharge on
Moving Traffic Violations To Assist in Funding an
Intergovernmental Radio Communications System (800 MHz)
It is respectfully requested that the information contained herein be
given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at
the next regular scheduled meeting.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITION&
On April 28, 1994, the Board of County Commissioners held a workshop
meeting to consider allocation of the revenue from the Optional One
Cent Sales Tax for the next five years. One of the capital projects
given tentative approval was an 800 MHz Trunked Radio Communications
System which would be utilized as an intergovernmental radio system.
On May 17, 1994, the Board approved the communications system as one
of several projects after receiving public input during a public
hearing regarding the sales tax revenue allocation.
The communications system proposal included the assessment and
implementation of a $12.50 surcharge on moving traffic violations as
provided for in Chapter 316.655 (6), Florida Statutes, as a partial
revenue source to fund the intergovernmental radio system. Staff has
corresponded with the Florida Department of- Management Services,
Division of Communications, and received approval to implement the
$12.50 surcharge in a letter dated May 12, 1994, from Glenn Mayne,
Director of the Division of Communications.
Although not a complete list, some examples of moving violations for
which the surcharge would be assessed include unlawful- speed,
reckless driving, careless driving, driving under the influence,
fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer, and driving while
license suspended. The surcharge would be assessed upon any moving
violation charge regardless of the jurisdiction or agency within the
county in which the violation occurred.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
As staff has prior indicated to the Board, based on the surcharge
collection experience by St. Lucie County, it is estimated that
approximately $120,000 would be generated annually in Indian River
County from the surcharge on moving violations.
The surcharge can be assessed and implemented at any time after
approvalbythe Florida Division of Communications.. Staff submits
that if the Board implements the surcharge with an effective date of
August 1, 1994, additional revenue should be generated to possibly
offset some of the funding required from the one cent sales tax
revenue between the surcharge effective date referenced and October
1, 1995, the date when the communications project funding is
scheduled to begin.
32
M M i
There will be some costs incurred for the communications project
prior to October 1, 1995, such as frequency coordination fees,
consultant fees related to system design, a propagation study, and
system specification development. These processes will take
approximately one year to complete from the point initiated and
surcharge funds could be used to cover these expenses prior to the
time the project is scheduled for funding from the sales tax revenue.
Staff would prefer to have these tasks completed and a vendor
selected by the Board prior to October 1, 1995, so the communications
backbone can be completed timely given the poor performance of
existing county and some municipal VHF and UHF systems and the fact
that improvement is not going to occur over the next sixteen months,
when construction of the system is scheduled to begin.
Staff feels that the following alternatives are available to the
Board:
Alternative No. 1: Do not implement the $12.50 surcharge as a
funding source for the intergovernmental
radio system. This would increase the
funding required from other sources for the
radio system.
Alternative No. 2: Do not implement the $12.50 surcharge at
this time. This could result in a revenue
loss of approximately $80,000-90,000
between August 1, 1994, and October 1,
1995.
Alternative No. 3: Implement only a portion of the $12.50
surcharge, which would reduce the revenue
anticipated accordingly.
Alternative No. 4: Implement the $12.50 surcharge effective
August 1, 1994, subject to a public hearing
and Board approval. The revenue would be
utilized to pay expenses associated with
obtaining frequencies, consultant expenses
and licensing requirements prior to October
11 1995, as well as offset funding from the
one cent sales tax revenue as appropriate,
given the understanding the surcharge
revenue is also planned to be utilized for
recurring maintenance expense when the
system comes on line in FY 96/97.
RBCOMMMMATION:
Staff recommends the Board approve Alternative No. 4 and schedule a
hearing for the proposed ordinance. A suggested date for the public
hearing is July 19, 1994.

Commissioner Macht opposed taking this proposed ordinance to
public hearing because he felt an additional fine was unfair.
Commissioner Bird stated he could support taking this to a
public hearing, but wanted to see a list of the existing fines at
that time.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, by a vote of 4-1 (Commissioner
Macht dissenting), the Board approved alternative
no. 4. as recommended by staff, and scheduled a
public hearing for July 19, 1994.

SUBJECT:- Oslo Road and Old Dixie Highway Roadway Improvements
Calmes and Peirce Flow Well and Irrigation
DATE: June 14, 1994 FILE: OsloWell.agn
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
Oslo Road was scheduled to be widened to five lanes from US1 to Old
Dixie and to three lanes west of Old Dixie. A three lane section
expandable to five lanes was proposed west of Old Dixie because of
opposition to the five lane section from adjacent property owners.
On March 8, 1994 the Board approved extending the five lane section
west of Old Dixie because the properties that opposed the five lane
section had been sold.
When the County purchased right-of-way from Calmes & Peirce Inc. on
December 7; 1993, the road was scheduled to be widened to three
lanes. Calmes & Peirce had a flow well in the right-of-way that
the County had agreed to let them maintain. When the road cross
section was widened to five lanes, it put the well, pump,
electrical equipment and sprinkler controls in the pavement.

BOOK 92 PAGE -691
The flow well supplies water to Calmes & PeirceIsirrigation system
and swimming pool. The County and Calmes & Pierce have
investigated the following options:
1. 'Construct a manhole over the well and relocate the pump
station and controller.
2. Drill a shallow well and replace the existing irrigation
system including sprinkler lines, sprinkler heads, pump
station and controllers. The existing system requires a
high volume of water.
3. Drill a new artesian flow well and relocate the existing
Pump station and controller.
The County and Calmes & Pierce spoke to several well drillers and
irrigation contractors about the various options. They all
recommended Option 3. Option 1 was unacceptable because -the weight
of traffic could cause the well to collapse. Option 2 was
unacceptable because water from a shallow well in this area
contains a considerable amount of rust that would discolor the pool
and require additional treatment.
Prices for Option No. 3 were obtained from the following companies:
ARTESIAN FLOW WELL
Adger Smith Wells, Inc. $6,385.50
Reliable Services $6,500.00
McLaughlin Well Drilling $6,700.00 plus tax
IRRIGATION MODIFICATIONS
The Latter Rain, Inc. $2,625.00
Schroeder's Irrigation $2,779.00
Jordan Sprinkler Systems Inc. $2,987.00
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
Staff recommends that the Board approve paying Calmes & Peirce Inc.
$9,010.50 (total of low bids) for the cost of Option 3, with the
stipulation that no additional claims or charges be brought to the
County for well drilling or modifications to the irrigation system.
The County will be responsible for capping the existing well.
Funding is from Account 101-156-541-067.43.

In October of 1993, a change order to this contract was approved by the
Board of County Commissioners for an increase in' the amount of
$13,779.43 for a revised contract amount of $500,779.43. (See attached
-agenda item and change order.) We are now requesting the Board of
County Commissioners' approval of the- contractorls final pay -request
and change order.
ANALYSIS
The final change order is for a reduction of $28,799.37, this equates
to a final contract amount of $471,980.06, or a reduction of 5.7%. The
reduction is primarily due to quantity changes within the contract. Due
to construction conditions, i.e., reduction in sod restoration,
reduction in fittings and pipe length (due to the straight lay of
pipe), and a reduction in air release valves (due to the flat pipe
laying conditions). (See attached final change order and pay request).
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends approval of
the final change order and pay request in the amount of $81,805.53 as
presented.
