Request for Authorization to Apply for Surface Water Improvement & Management (SWIlVII and National Estuary Program (NEPI Funds for Restoration Projects at Round Island Park and the Environmental Learning Center The Board reviewed memo from Environmental Planning Chief Roland DeBlois dated July 19, 1994: TO: James E. Chandler County Administrator DE TMENT HEAD CONCURRENCE: i Robert M. Keating AICP Community Development Director FROM: Roland M. DeBlois,' AICP Chief, Environmental Planning DATE: July 19, 1994 RE: Request for Authorization to Apply for Surface Water Improvement & Management (SWIM) and National Estuary Program (NEP) Funds for Restoration Projects at Round Island Park and the Environmental Learning Center It is requested that the data herein -presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of July 26, 1994. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS The County Marine Advisory/Narrows Watershed Action Committee (MANWAC), at its regular meeting of July 18, 1994, voted to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners authorize staff to apply for funds for environmental projects at Round Island Park (riverside) and the Environmental Learning Center. These grant application proposals are described herein for the Board's approval consideration. County match for the projects would be in the form of in-kind services; no out-of-pocket county expenditure is proposed. Background Marty Smithson, SWIM coordinator for the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD), has indicated that funds. are available from the Surface Water Improvement and Management Program (SWIM) and the EPA National Estuary Program (NEP) for Indian River Lagoon projects. Specifically, for fiscal y _program projects, and $5,0( SWIM funding may be used f o and/or construction. N educational or planning programs will be availabl July 26, 1994 eear 1994-95, $3,300'is available for SWIM 0 for National Estuary Program projects. r storm water retrofitting, restoration, EP funding, however, may be used for related .projects. Funds under these as of October 1,-1994. 5 wqq P,n, 0151 Boos ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS Round Island Park 92 of t 016 Concerning a Round Island Park SWIM revegetation project, staff met with Public Works Department staff and representatives from Native Habitat, Inc., who recently completed an off-site shoreline mitigation project at the park. Currently, there are retention ponds at Round Island Park (riverside) that are impacted by cattails. However, there are some native species among the cattails that would potentially re- establish themselves if the cattails were manually removed. Also, the lagoon shoreline has areas that would benefit from replacement of nuisance exotic vegetation and/or bare soil with native shoreline species, which would complement a previous successful SWIM shoreline restoration project at the park. Another aspect of the proposed project is planting native hammock understory species in areas where native canopy trees are being planted as part of park landscaping. Native Habitat, Inc. has indicated that -they can work within the parameters of the $3,300 SWIM grant for shoreline and hammock understory restoration, including native plant installation. According to Marty Smithson, the County is obligated to provide a match to SWIM funds; this County match may be in the form of in- kind services. In coordination with the Public Works Department, staff proposes a County match of in-kind services entailing the removal of cattails from the park retention ponds, to allow for native plant re-establishment. Environmental Learning Center Staff has contacted the Environmental Learning Center (ELC) to discuss potential NEP projects at the Center. George Bunnell, ELC staff, and Mosquito Control District staff recommend a habitat restoration/education project entailing the re -connection and cleaning of ditches in the property's mangrove wetland. Re -connection of the ditches on the 51 acre site to the Indian River Lagoon would allow the recruitment of native high marsh plant species on the ELC property, and also improve canoe trails for educational purposes. The level of work will be dictated by grant funding constraints ($5,000). Mosquito Control District staff has indicated that they will provide an in-kind service match to the grant by performing physical labor relating to the project. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize staff to apply for SWIM and NEP funding for the Round Island Park and Environmental Learning Center projects described herein. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously authorized staff to apply for SWIM and NEP funding for the Round Island Park and Environmental Learning Center projects described in staff's memorandum. July 26, 1994 F. Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board Revised By -Laws The Board reviewed memo from Long -Range Planning Chief Sasan Rohani dated July 12, 1994: TO: James E. Chandler County Administrator DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE Robert M. Reatir4, AICD/ Community Development Director FROM: Sasan Rohani, AICP S/z• Chief, Long -Range Planning DATE: July 12, 1994 RE: TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED LOCAL COORDINATING BOARD REVISED BY-LAWS It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of July 26, 1994. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS On February 21, 1991, the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB) adopted a set of by-laws, consistent with the "LCB's Operating Guidelines" established by the State Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged on January 10th, 1990. On August 20, 1992, the TDLCB revised the by-laws to include new members to the membership list as required by the State Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD) and to add a section regarding formation of a Technical Advisory Committee. The membership of the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board must be consistent with the criteria established pursuant to Rule 41-2.012(3), FAC, as revised. Since the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board's By-laws were revised last in August, 1992, the state has _revised the membership requirements and.added three new members to the TDLCB. These new members must represent the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, the private transportation industry, and the mass/public transit industry, if applicable. On April 5, 1994, the Board of County Commissioners sitting as the Designated Official Planning Agency approved a membership certification list that includes all of the above referenced changes (copy of the membership certification is attached). The TDLCB by-laws must be revised to reflect the changes to the membership requirements. . At its meeting of July 21, 1994, the TDLCB approved the revised by- laws and directed the staff to forward the by-laws to the Board of County Commissioners (the Designated Official Planning Agency (DOPA) for transportation disadvantaged matters) for review and concurrence prior to submittal to the State Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged. July 26, 1994 8100K `FAA 01 ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS Since the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board membership must be consistent with the criteria established pursuant to Rule 41-2.012(3), FAC, as revised the board's only option is to revise the TDLCB by-laws to correspond to the state requirements. The membership of the TDLCB already reflects these revisions. The TDLCB, as indicated in the attached membership certification, has appropriate representatives from corresponding agencies. Since there is no mass/public transit industry in the county, the TDLCB does not have a representative from the mass/public transit. At this point, a search is in progress to find a representative from the private transportation industry. By finding a representative for the private transportation industry, the TDLCB will have a full membership consistent with state requirements. RECOMMENDATION The TDLCB and staff recommend that the BCC/DOPA approve the revised by-laws and direct staff to forward the by-laws to the State Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved the revised by-laws of the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board and directed staff to forward the by-laws to the State Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged. G. Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) Annual Evaluation Report The Board reviewed memo from Long -Range Planning Chief Sasan Rohani dated July 1, 1994: TO: James E. Chandler County Administrator DI SION HEAD CONCURRENCE Robert M. Kea in , AI Community Development irector FROM: Sasan Rohani, AICP T -/L Chief, Long -Range Planning DATE: July 1, 1994' RE: COMMUNITY TRANSPORTATION COORDINATOR (CTC) ANNUAL EVALUATION REPORT It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of July 26, 1994. 8 July 26, 1994 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS One requirement of the county's coordinated transportation disadvantaged development plan is that "the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB) shall evaluate the performance of the Community Transportation Coordinator and provide a recommendation to the DOPA for continuation or replacement of the Community Transportation Coordinator". To facilitate this evaluation process, the TDLCB developed a set of criteria for the coordinator evaluation. On September 11, 1992, the Board of County Commissioners, acting as the county's Designated Official Planning Agency (DOPA), approved the CPC's evaluation procedures and standards. To conduct the CTC evaluation, the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB) established a subcommittee, whose purpose was to meet with the coordinator and evaluate the coordinator's performance. Using the criteria established by the TDLCB, the subcommittee assessed the performance of the Community Transportation Coordinator and prepared a report addressing the coordinator's performance in relation to each of the evaluation criteria. A copy of that report is attached. Based upon its assessment, the evaluation sub -committee recommended that the Indian River County Council on Aging be retained as the county's CTC. At its regular meeting on July 21, 1994, the TDLCB approved the CTC annual evaluation report submitted by the evaluation subcommittee. The TDLCB also directed staff to forward the evaluation report to the Board of County Commissioners/DOPA for review and approval. Alternatives and Analysis The Indian River County Council on Aging has been the County's Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) since October 1990. In the past three years, the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB) recommended that the BCC/DOPA retain the Council on Aging as the county's CTC. Subsequently, the BCC/DOPA approved the TDLCB's recommendation and retained the Indian River County Council on Aging as the coordinator. This year, evaluation of the CTC has been performed by an evaluation subcommittee of the Local Coordinating Board. This evaluation was conducted according to the CTC evaluation procedures and criteria approved by the TDLCB and the BCC/DOPA. Based upon the evaluation committee's report, the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board voted to retain the Council on Aging as the county's CTC. The Board of County Commissioners acting as the Transportation Disadvantaged Designated Official Planning Agency (DOPA) has several alternatives. The first alternative is to approve the CTC annual evaluation report and retain the Council on Aging as the County's CTC. A second alternative would be to reject the CTC annual evaluation report and direct the TDLCB to re-evaluate the coordinator. A third alternative would be to make changes to the evaluation report and vote either to, retain or terminate the Council on Aging as the county's CTC. RECOMMENDATION The TDLCB and staff recommend that BCC/DOPA approve the attached CTC annual evaluation report, retain the Indian River County Council on Aging as the county's CTC, and direct staff to fozwaid the evaluation report to the State Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged. July 26, 1994 ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved the Community Transportation Coordinator's (CTC) annual evaluation report, retained the Indian River County Council on Aging as the County's CTC, and directed staff to forward the evaluation report to the State Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged, as recommended by staff.

DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS It is required, as part of the Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) Planning Grant contract between the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) as the Designated Official Planning Agency (DOPA) and the State of Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD), that periodic progress reports and reimbursement invoices be submitted. To comply with the.CTD's requirements, staff has prepared a progress report and invoice for the period from April 1, 1994 to June 30, 1994. For the 1994 planning grant period, the invoice and progress report represent the second submittal. This progress report and applicable finished products, such as the Local Coordinating Board (LCB) meeting minutes, by-laws, etc., are required to accompany all reimbursement invoices. Attached for your review is a copy of draft invoice #2 and the progress report. This report, along with the appropriate supporting documents, will be submitted to the CTD upon the Board of County Commissioners/DOPA approval. 10 July 26, 1994 On July 211 1994, the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB) reviewed and approved the attached progress report and invoice. At that time, the TDLCB recommended that the Board of County Commissioners, in its capacity as the Transportation Disadvantaged Program Designated Official Planning Agency (DOPA), approve the attached progress report and invoice and forward these to the CTD. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS Attached is a copy of the progress report and invoice for the April 1, 1994 to June 30, 1994 period. Finished products such as the TDLCB meeting minutes, by-laws, and reports are required to accompany all reimbursement invoices. These materials will be submitted to the state along with the reimbursement invoice and the progress report. The BCC/DOPA's alternatives are either to approve the transmittal of the Progress Report and reimbursement invoice as submitted, to approve transmittal of the Progress Report and invoice with revisions, or to deny the transmittal of the Progress Report and reimbursement invoice to the state. RECOMMENDATION The TDLCB and the staff recommend that the Board of County Commissioners/DOPA approve the Progress Report and reimbursement invoice #2, and direct staff to transmit the report and the invoice to the State of Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD). ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved the Progress Report from 4/1/94 to 6/30/94 and reimbursement Invoice #2, and directed staff to transmit the report and the invoice to the State of Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged, as set out in staff's memorandum. I. Transportation Disadvantaged Program, Fiscal Year 1994/95 Planning Grant Application and Authorizing Resolution The Board reviewed memo from Long -Range Planning Chief Sasan Rohani dated July 5, 1994: 11 July 26, 1994 bm w,,,1021 0 Bm 92 f�,4022 TO: James Chandler County Administrator DIV ION HEAD CONCURRENCE: �_, 02�, 0 - � Z�_ Z " ert M.

Chief, Long -Range Planning DATE: July 5, 1994 RE: TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED PROGRAM FY 1994/95 PLANNING GRANT APPLICATION It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of July 26, 1994. DESCRIPTIONS & CONDITIONS In June of 1990, the Board of County Commissioners was approved by the state to become the local Designated Official Planning Agency (DOPA) for the provision of transportation disadvantaged planning activities in the area. For fiscal year 1994/1995, the state has allocated $17,691._0.0 to Indian River County for transportation disadvantaged planning related services. The grant funds are available for the specific purpose of accomplishing the duties and responsibilities of the Designated Official Planning Agency (DOPA) as identified in the Transportation Disadvantaged law, Chapter 427, F.S. and Rule 41-2 FAC. The DOPA is required to apply for the Planning Grant (copy attached). As provided for by the state, a Designated Official Planning Agency may transfer any or all of its unobligated planning grant funds to the county's non -sponsored trip/equipment grant allocation. Non - sponsored trip/equipment grant funds are monies available to the county's Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) to cover capital and operating costs associated with the provision of transportation disadvantaged service. Essentially, this transfer provision allows unneeded planning funds to be transferred to the Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) to be used for providing trips. Based upon a review of the amount of work involved in fulfilling the county's planning related duties and responsibilities associated with the Transportation Disadvantaged program, staff has determined that $4,000.00 of the funds allocated for the planning grant can be transferred to the CTC for provision of non -sponsored transportation disadvantaged trips. If approved, the $4,000 will supplement non -sponsored trip/equipment funds and will be utilized by the Community Transportation Coordinator (I.R.C. Council on Aging) to provide transportation services to transportation disadvantaged clients. Since the total number of passenger trips and the total vehicle trip miles provided through the CTC are two of the factors included in the state formula for distribution of trip/equipment funds to the CTCs, any increase in the number of trips provided through the Community Transportation Coordinator will also increase the Community Transportation Coordinator's chance of getting more trip/equipment funding for the next FY. 12 July 26, 1994 On July 21, 1994, the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board discussed and recommended approval of the FY 1994/95 Planning Grant application. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS The purpose of the planning grant application is to obtain funds to cover the planning related costs involved with fulfilling the county's duties and responsibilities associated with the state mandated transportation disadvantaged program. The grant monies are needed to provide monetary support to the county for the continued provision of planning related services in conjunction with the local transportation disadvantaged program. Failure to apply for the grant will result in a lack of funding from the state for planning related services which are mandated by the transportation disadvantaged program. The Board has three major alternatives. One is to apply for the grant funds as recommended by staff and the TDLCB. The second alternative is to apply for the entire amount allocated for the planning grant and not transfer any funds to the trip/equipment fund. The third alternative is to not apply for the grant funds, an action which would make the county ineligible for reimbursement of monies expended for planning related services. RECOMMENDATION The TDLCB and the staff recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve the transmittal of the FY 94-95 Planning Grant application to the state CTD as proposed by staff. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously adopted Resolution 94-94, authorizing the filing of a Transportation Disadvantaged Trust Fund Grant Application with the Florida Transportation Disadvantaged Commission. 13 July 26, 1994 Boa 92 Pn 02 ox 8 EXHIBI-T C AUTHORIZING RESOLUTION Resolutiol No. 94-q_C A RESOLUTION of the Indian.

On May 17, 1994 I appeared before the commission regarding the above. Just prior to your meeting it was discovered that the land we are seeking was conveyed to the City of Vero Beach with the Jail property a few years ago. It was then suggested I make request to the City for this land. During the past few months we have worked with the City. Substantial study was made by City administration, and a new land survey was done to clearly depict the area we desire. (Exhibit "A" attached.) The result of above was the City Council voted this evening to a. Lease the land to the Manor subject to the removal of the County reverter clause, /or/ b. convey the land back to the County whereas the county would add this parcel to the Manor's existing lease with I.R. County, which covers the existing project. The reverter clause was touched on at your May 17th. 1994 meeting and it was suggested I try to obtain the City's intent to lease us the land before you release the reverter clause. The City's indicated this evening was that b. above would be the Preferred and easier process. (Add to our present 99 yr. lease.) 22 July 26, 1994 I am sure you will have contact with the City on this matter. I request the item be placed on the July 26th.

The official action taken by the City Council was that if the Board were amenable, the property would be returned to the County and we would amend the lease to include that parcel. He further explained that the Council included a stipulation in their motion that there be security fencing provided around the lake. Commissioner Bird asked about the access between the present and future buildings. Mr. Zorc responded that there is a dry swale area between the two parcels, and access between buildings would be addressed in the site plan and when the project is reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Commission. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, to accept the conveyance of the subject parcel from the City of Vero Beach and to amend the 99 -year lease to St. Francis Manor Apartments to include the parcel shown in the above diagram. Commissioner Bird led discussion regarding a reverter clause, whereby the parcel would revert to the County in the event it is not used by St. Francis Manor for additional apartments. Mr. Zorc stated that a 5 -year reverter clause was acceptable. COMMISSIONER MACHT AMENDED THE MOTION to include a reverter clause. Commissioner Adams asked for clarification regarding the reverter clause. Commissioner Bird clarified that if the parcel were not used to construct additional buildings for assisted living facilities within five years, the property would revert to the County. Mr. Zorc confirmed that the five-year time span would be satisfactory and would apply to the 79 years remaining on the lease. Chairman Tippin directed staff to prepare an amendment to the lease and present it to the Board for approval. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously.

Keati g, P THRU: Sasan Rohani, AICP Chief, Long -Range Planning FROM: John Wachtel 0 Senior Planner, Long -Range Planning DATE: July 15, 1994 RE: Ralmar Associates, Inc., Request to Rezone Approximately 38 acres from A-l.to RS -3 (RZON 94-02-0141) It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of July 26, 1994. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS This is a request to rezone approximately 38 acres located on the south side of 4th Street, approximately one quarter of a mile east of 58th Avenue. The request involves rezoning the property, owned by Ralmar Associates, Inc., from A-1, Agricultural District (up to 1 unit/5 acres) to RS -31 Single -Family Residential District (up to 3 units/acre). The applicant intends to develop the site as a subdivision of single-family residences. Under separate ownership is a fifty foot wide strip of A-1 zoned land which is located between the subject property's eastern border and the current RS -3/A-1 zoning district boundary. The owners of this fifty foot wide strip have been contacted several times by the applicant who has attempted to persuade them to join in the subject rezoning request. The owners of the fifty foot wide strip, however, prefer that the land remain agriculturally zoned. Therefore, granting this request, as submitted, would result in the creation of a fifty foot wide strip of A-1 zoned land along the subject property's entire eastern boundary. This strip would be bordered on three sides by RS -3 zoned land. On June 23, 1994, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve this request to rezone the subject property to RS -3. Existing Land Use Pattern The subject property, the fifty foot wide strip to the east, and properties to the west and south are zoned A-1. Properties to the north of the subject property and to the east of the fifty foot wide strip are zoned RS -3. Land uses in the area are largely agricultural. East of the subject property, the fifty foot wide strip consists of two rows of 26 July 26, 1994 citrus trees. residences, one Citrus groves, subject property Adjacent to that land are two single-family on two and a half acres, and one on five acres. in various stages of productivity, border the on all other sides. Future Land Use Pattern The subject property and all surrounding properties are designated L-1, Low -Density Residential -1, on the county future land use map. The L-1 designation permits residential uses with densities up to three units/acre. Environment The subject property is currently a citrus grove. Environmental planning staff review of the site indicates that the southeast corner of the site may be in transition to a native upland plant community. Additionally, there may be jurisdictional wetlands on site. The subject property is within an "AE" 100 year floodplain, with a minimum base flood elevation requirement of 22 feet NGVD. Utilities and Services The site is within the Urban Service Area of the county. Water lines extend to within approximately one quarter of a mile of the site from the South County Water Plant. At the present time, wastewater lines do not extend to the site. Transportation System The property abuts 4th Street which is classified as an urban minor arterial road on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map. Currently a two-lane paved road with approximately 30 feet of public road right-of-way, this segment of 4th Street'is programmed for expansion to 80 feet of public road right-of-way by 2010. ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the application will be presented. The analysis will include a description of: • concurrency of public facilities; • compatibility with the surrounding area; • consistency with the comprehensive plan; and • potential impact on environmental quality. Concurrency of Public Facilities This site is located within the county Urban Service Area, an area deemed suited for urban scale development. The Comprehensive Plan establishes standards for: Transportation, Potable Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, Drainage and Recreation (Future Land Use Policy 3.1). The adequate provision of these services is necessary to ensure the continued quality of life enjoyed by the community. The Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations also require that new development be reviewed to ensure that the minimum acceptable standards for these services and facilities are maintained. ._Policy 3.2 of the Future Land Use Element states that no development shall be approved unless it is consistent with the concurrency management system component of the Capital Improvements Element. For rezoning requests, conditional concurrency review is required. 27 July 26, 1994 BOOK 9 F"G1 Oo3 d BOOK � FAGJ TJS Conditional concurrency review examines the available capacity of each facility with respect to a proposed project. Since rezoning requests are not projects, county regulations call for the concurrency review to be based upon the most intense use of the subject property based upon the requested zoning district. As discussed in the description and conditions section, the applicant unsuccessfully attempted to convince the owners of the fifty foot wide strip to the east to include that property in this request. Because of uncertainty regarding the inclusion of that Property, staff conducted the concurrency analysis as if the fifty foot wide strip were part of the subject property. Therefore, the impacts of the requested zoning district are actually somewhat overstated in this concurrency analysis. The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows: 1. Size of Area to be Rezoned: ±40 acres 2. Existing Zoning Classification: 3. Proposed Zoning Classification: 4. Most Intense Use of Subject Property under Existing Zoning Classification: 5. Most Intense Use of Subject Property under Proposed Zoning Classification: - Transportation A-1, Agricultural District (up to 1 unit/5 acres) RS -3, Single -Family Residential District (up to 3 units/acre) 8 units 120 units A review of the traffic impacts that would result from the development of the property indicates that the existing level of service "D" or better on 4th Street would not be lowered. The site information used for determining traffic is as follows: Existing Zoning District 1. Use Identified in 5th Edition ITE Manual: Single -Family Residential 2. For Single -Family Units, in ITE Manual: a. Average Weekday Trip Ends: 9.55/unit b. P.M. Peak Hour Trip Ends: 1.01/unit C. Inbound (P.M. Peak Hour): 65% i. Westbound (P.M. Peak Hour): 75% ii.

Formula for Determining Number of Average Weekday Trips Generated: Number of Units X Average Weekday Rate (120 X 9.55 = 1146) 6. Traffic Capacity on this segment of 4th Street, at a Level of Service "D": 630 peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips 7. Existing Traffic volume on this segment of 4th Street: 97 peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips The number of Average Weekday Trip Ends associated with the most intense use of the subject property under the existing zoning district is 76. This was determined by multiplying the 8 units (most intense use) by ITE's single-family residential factor of 9.55 Average Daily Trip Ends/unit. - The number of Average Weekday Trip Ends associated with the most intense use of the subject property under the proposed zoning district is 1,146. This was determined by multiplying the 120 units (most intense use), by ITE's single-family residential factor of 9.55 Average Daily Trip Ends/unit. Since the county's transportation level of service is based on peak hour/peak season/peak direction characteristics, the transportation concurrency analysis addresses project traffic occurring in the peak hour and affecting the peak direction of impacted roadways. According to ITE, the proposed use generates more volume in the ._p.m. peak hour than in the a.m. peak hour. Therefore, the p.m. peak hour was used in the transportation concurrency analysis. The peak direction- during the p.m.- peak hour on 4th Street is westbound. 29 July 26, 1994 BOOK 92 _ FAA039. . BOCK 92 PACJ 040 Given those conditions, the number of peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips that would be generated by the most intense use of the subject property under the existing zoning district was calculated to be 4. This was determined by multiplying the total number of units allowed under the existing zoning district (8) by ITE's factor of 1.01 p.m. peak hour trips/unit, to determine the total number of trips generated. Of these trips, 65% (5) will be inbound and 35% (3) will be outbound. Of the inbound trips, 75% or 4 will be westbound. To determine -the number of peak hour/.peak season/peak direction trips that would be generated by the most intense use of the subject property under the requested zoning district, the total number of units allowed under the proposed district (120) was multiplied by ITE's factor of 1.01 p.m. peak hour trips/unit to determine the total number of trips generated (121). Of these trips, 65% (79) will be inbound and 35% (42) will be outbound. Of the inbound trips, 75% or 59 will be westbound. Therefore, the most intense use of the subject property under the proposed zoning district would generate 55 (59 - 4 = 55) more peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips than the 4 that would be generated by the most intense use of the subject property under the existing zoning district. Using a modified gravity model and a hand assignment, the peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips generated by the proposed use were then assigned to impacted roads on the network. Impacted roads are defined in section 910.09(4)(b)3 of the county's LDRs as roadway segments which receive five percent (5%) or more of the project traffic or fifty (50) or more of the project trips, whichever is less. Capacities for all roadway segments in Indian River County are calculated and updated annually, utilizing the latest and best available peak season traffic characteristics and applying Appendix G methodology as set forth in the Florida Department of Transportation Level of Service Manual. Available capacity is the total capacity less existing and committed traffic volumes; this is updated daily based upon vesting associated with project approvals. The traffic capacity for the segment of 4th Street adjacent to this site is 630 trips (peak hour/peak season/peak direction) at Level of Service (LOS) "D", while the existing traffic volume on this segment of 4th Street is 97 trips (peak hour/peak season/peak direction). The additional 55 peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips created by the most intense use of the subject property under the proposed zoning district would increase the total peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips for this segment of 4th Street to approximately 152. Based on the above analysis, staff determined that 4th Street and all other impacted roads can accommodate the additional trips without decreasing their existing levels of service. The table below identifies each of the impacted roadway segments associated with this proposed zoning classification. As indicated in this table, there is sufficient capacity in all of the segments to accommodate the projected traffic associated with the request. 30 July 26, 1994 a TRAFFIC CONCURRENCY DETERMINATION Impacted Road Segments (peak hour/peak season/peak direction) Segment Roadway Segment Road From To Capacity LOS "D" 111ON IR Blvd. 4th Street @ U.S. 1 12th Street 1,770 11108 IR Blvd. 4th Street @ U.S. 1 12th Street 1,770 1925E S.R. 60 66th Avenue 58th Avenue 1,770 1925W S.R. 60 66th Avenue 58th Avenue 1,770 1935E S.R. 60 43rd Avenue 27th Avenue 2,650 1935W S.R. 60 43rd Avenue 27th Avenue 2,650 2030E 16th Street 43rd Avenue 27th Avenue 690 203OW 16th Street 43rd Avenue 27th Avenue 690 2230E 12th Street 43rd Avenue 27th Avenue 690 2230W 12th Street 43rd Avenue 27th Avenue 690 2550E Oslo Road 43rd Avenue 27th Avenue 690 255OW Oslo Road 43rd Avenue 27th Avenue 690 291ON 43rd Avenue Oslo Road 4th Street 690 2910S 43rd Avenue Oslo Road 4th Street 690 2915N 43rd Avenue 4th Street 8th Street 630 29155 43rd Avenue 4th Street 8th Street 630 2920N 43rd Avenue 8th Street 12th Street 630 2920S 43rd Avenue 8th Street 12th Street 630 2925N 43rd Avenue 12th Street 16th Street 830 29255 43rd Avenue 12th Street 16th Street 830 2930N 43rd Avenue 16th Street S.R. 60 830 29305 43rd Avenue 16th Street S.R. 60 830 3005N 58th Avenue Oslo Road 4th Street 630 3005S 58th Avenue Oslo Road 4th Street 630 301ON 58th Avenue 4th Street 8th Street 630 3010S 58th Avenue 4th Street 8th Street 630 3015N 58th Avenue 8th Street 12th Street 630 30155 58th Avenue 8th Street 12th Street 630 302ON 58th Avenue 12th Street 16th Street 630 30205 58th Avenue 12th Street 16th Street 630 3025N 58th Avenue 16th Street S.R. 60 830 30258 58th Avenue 16th Street S.R. 60 830 303ON 58th Avenne S.R. 60 41st Street 830 30305 58th Avenue S.R. 60 41st Street 830 4840E 8th Street 43rd Avenue 27th Avenue 630 484OW 8th Street 43rd Avenue 27th Avenue 630 4930E 4th Street 58th Avenue 43rd Avenue 630 4930W 4th Street 58th Avenue 43rd Avenue 630 4940E 4th Street 43rd Avenue 27th Avenue 630 4940W 4th Street 43rd Avenue 27th Avenue 630 4950E 4th Street 27th Avenue 20th Avenue 630 495OW 4th Street 27th Avenue 20th Avenue 630 4960E 4th Street 20th Avenue Old Dixie Hwy. 630 4960W 4th Street 20th Avenue Old Dixie Hwy. 630 4970E 4th Street old Dixie Hwy.

With the most intense use allowed under the proposed rezoning, the subject property will have a water consumption rate of 120 Equivalent Residential Units (ERU), or 30,000 gallons/day. This is based upon a level of service standard of 250 gallons /ERU/day. Since the South County Water Plant currently has a remaining capacity of approximately 2,300,000 gallons/day, the plant can accommodate the additional demand generated by the proposed zoning. - Wastewater The site is within the urban service area;. however, wastewater lines do not extend to the site at this time. _ Prior to consideration of this request by the Board of County Commissioners, the applicant must enter into a developer's agreement with the county which states that the developer agrees to connect to the county wastewater system at the time of development. When the subject property connects to county lines, it will be serviced by the West County Wastewater Plant. Based upon the most intense use allowed under the proposed zoning district, development of the property will have a wastewater generation rate of approximately 120 Equivalent Residential Units (ERU), or 30,000 gallons/day. This is based upon the level of service standard of 250 gallons/ERU/day. The West County Wastewater Plant currently has a remaining capacity of more than 430,000 gallons/day and can accommodate the additional wastewater generated by the proposed rezoning. kV July 26, 1994 - Solid Waste Solid waste service includes pick-up by private operators and disposal at the county landfill. Solid waste generation by a 120 unit residential development on the subject site will be approximately 192 Waste Generation Units (WGU) or 364 cubic yards of solid waste/year. A WGU is a Waste Generation Unit measurement equivalent to 1.896 cubic yards of waste/year. According to the county's solid waste regulations, each residential unit generates 1.6 WGUs. With the county's adopted level of service standard of 2.37 cubic yards/person/year and the county's average of 2 persons/unit, each WGU is equivalent to 0.8 people (1.6/2 = 0.8) and 1.896 cubic yards of solid waste/year (0.8 X 2.37 = 1.896). To calculate the total cubic yards of solid waste for the most intense use allowed on the subject property under the proposed zoning district, staff utilized the following formula: Total number of WGUs X 0.8 X 2.37 (192 X 0.8 X 2.37 = 364 cubic yards/year). A review of the solid waste capacity for the active segment of the county landfill indicates the availability of more than 900,000 cubic yards. The active segment of the landfill has a 3 year capacity, and the landfill has expansion capacity beyond 2010. Based on staff analysis, it was determined that the county landfill can accommodate the additional solid waste generated by the site under the proposed zoning district. - Drainage All developments are reviewed for compliance with county stormwater regulations which require on-site retention, preservation of floodplain storage and minimum finished floor elevations. In addition, development proposals must meet the discharge requirements of the county Stormwater Management Ordinance. The subject property is located within the M-1 Drainage Basin. Since the site is located within the Indian River Farms Water Control District (IRFWCD), development on the property will be prohibited from discharging any runoff in excess of two inches in a twenty- four hour period, which is the approved IRFWCD discharge rate. In this case, the minimum floor elevation level of service standard applies, since the property lies within a floodplain. Consistent with Drainage Policy 1.2, "all new buildings shall have the lowest habitable floor elevation no lower than the elevation of the 100 - year flood elevation as shown on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Flood Insurance Rate Map, or as defined in a more detailed study report." Since the subject property lies within Flood Zone AE -22, which is a special flood hazard area located within the 100 - year floodplain, any development on this property must have a minimum finished floor elevation of no less than 22 feet above mean sea level. Besides the minimum elevation requirement, on-site retention and discharge standards also apply to this request. With the most intense use of this site, the maximum area of impervious surface under the proposed zoning classification will be approximately 1,045,440 square feet, or 24 acres. The maximum runoff volume, based on that amount of impervious surface and the 25 year/24 hour design storm, and given the IRFWCD two inch discharge requirement, _will be approximately 1,199,000 cubic feet. In order to maintain the county's adopted level of service, the applicant will be required to retain approximately 908,000 cubic feet of runoff on- site. With the soil characteristics of the subject property, it is 33 BOOK"� ®6 July 26, 1994 _I BOOK 92 md 044 estimated that the pre -development runoff rate is 143 cubic feet/second. Based upon staff's analysis, the drainage level of service standards will be met by limiting off-site discharge to the IRFWCD's maximum discharge rate of two inches in twenty-four hours, requiring retention of the 908,000 cubic feet of runoff for the most intense use of the property, and requiring that all finished floor elevations exceed 22 feet above mean sea level. As with all development, a more detailed review will be conducted during the development approval process. - Recreation - A review of county recreation facilities and the projected demand that would result from the most intense development that could occur on the property under the proposed zoning classification indicates that the adopted levels of service would be maintained. The table below illustrates the additional park demand associated with the proposed development of the property and the existing surplus acreage by park type. The concurrency requirements for potable water, drainage, roads, solid waste, and parks have been met for the proposed rezoning. With the execution of the referenced developer's agreement for wastewater, the concurrency test will be satisfied for the subject request. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan Rezoning requests are reviewed for consistency with all policies of the comprehensive plan. Rezoning requests must also be consistent with the overall designation of land uses as depicted on the Future Land Use Map, which includes agricultural, residential, recreational, conservation, and commercial and industrial land uses and their densities. Commercial and industrial land uses are located in nodes throughout the unincorporated areas of Indian River County. The goals, objectives and policies are the most important parts of the comprehensive plan. Policies are statements in the plan which identify the actions which the county will take in order to direct the community's development. As courses of action committed to by the county, policies provide the basis for all county land development related decisions. While all comprehensive plan policies are important, some have more applicability than others in reviewing rezoning requests. Of particular applicability for this request is Future Land Use Policy 1.11. - Future Land Use Policy 1.11 Future Land Use Policy 1.11 states that the L-1, Low -Density Residential -1, land use designation is intended for residential uses with densities up to three units/acre. In addition, that 34 July 26, 1994 M M M LOS Project (Acres per Demand Surplus Park Type 1000 population) Acres Acreage Urban District 5.0 1.38 195.246 Community (south) 1.25 0.35 10.048 Beach 1.5 0.41 68.974 River 1.5 0.41 29.970 The concurrency requirements for potable water, drainage, roads, solid waste, and parks have been met for the proposed rezoning.

Consistency with Comprehensive Plan Rezoning requests are reviewed for consistency with all policies of the comprehensive plan. Rezoning requests must also be consistent with the overall designation of land uses as depicted on the Future Land Use Map, which includes agricultural, residential, recreational, conservation, and commercial and industrial land uses and their densities. Commercial and industrial land uses are located in nodes throughout the unincorporated areas of Indian River County. The goals, objectives and policies are the most important parts of the comprehensive plan. Policies are statements in the plan which identify the actions which the county will take in order to direct the community's development. As courses of action committed to by the county, policies provide the basis for all county land development related decisions. While all comprehensive plan policies are important, some have more applicability than others in reviewing rezoning requests. Of particular applicability for this request is Future Land Use Policy 1.11. - Future Land Use Policy 1.11 Future Land Use Policy 1.11 states that the L-1, Low -Density Residential -1, land use designation is intended for residential uses with densities up to three units/acre. In addition, that 34 July 26, 1994 M M M policy states that these residential uses must be located within an existing or future urban service area. Since the subject property is located within an area designated as L-1 on the county's future land use plan map and is located within the county's urban service area, and the proposed zoning district would permit residential uses no denser than three units/acre, the proposed request is consistent with Policy 1.11. While policy 1.11 is particularly applicable to this request, other comprehensive plan policies also have relevance. For that reason, staff evaluated -the subject request for consistency with all plan policies. Based upon• that analysis, staff determined that the request is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Compatibility with the Surrounding Area Staff's position is that granting the request to rezone the subject property to RS -3 will result in development which will be compatible with surrounding areas. Since land to the north and east (with the exception of the previously referenced fifty foot wide strip) is currently zoned RS -3, the request is for an expansion of the existing zoning pattern. Based on population projections and current development patterns, residential development in this area of the county is expected to increase, and eventually become the dominant land use. This development pattern would be consistent with the comprehensive plan since the area is located within the Urban Service Area and is designated for residential development with densities of up to three units/acre. Any potential incompatibilities associated with residential development on the subject property would be with' the adjacent agricultural areas. These incompatibilities, however, will be somewhat mitigated since the site is large enough to buffer itself from adjacent agricultural uses as required in Future Land Use Element Policy 6.3 of the comprehensive plan and section 911.O4(3)(c)5b of the County LDRs. For these reasons, staff feels that the requested RS -3 zoning would be compatible with the surrounding area. Potential Impact on Environmental Quality Environmental impacts of residential development on the subject property would be essentially the same under either the existing or the proposed zoning district. In fact, changing the zoning of the subject property from A-1 to RS -3 may enhance environmental quality by encouraging residential development of the site which is currently a grove. The environmental quality of the site may be enhanced by residential development, because site development would result in construction of a stormwater management system, and protection of jurisdictional wetlands which may be on site. Due to the county's stormwater retention requirements for residential development, residential development on the subject property would reduce the amount of stormwater runoff from the site. The requirements for residential development contrast with the present agricultural design that allows runoff to occur without any stormwater retention. Prior to residential development of the site, the applicant would be required to complete an environmental survey to determine the extent of any jurisdictional wetlands and. native upland plant 35 � p�,� �' 800 9 1pm'l045 July 26, 1994 BOOK 92 PAL1046 communities on site. That survey would have to be approved by the county's environmental planning staff. Any jurisdictional wetlands determined to be located on the parcel are protected by federal, state, and county regulations. The county's 10/15% set aside requirement would apply to any native upland plant communities on site. For these reasons, no significant adverse environmental impacts associated with this request are anticipated. Conclusion The requested zoning -is compatible with the surrounding area, consistent with the comprehensive plan, meets all concurrency criteria, and will have no negative impacts on environmental quality. The subject property is located in an area deemed suited for low density residential uses and meets all applicable rezoning criteria. The presence of the fifty foot wide A-1 zoned strip will make zoning administration more difficult, but is not sufficient justification to deny the request. For these reasons, staff supports the request. Recommendation Based on the analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve this request to rezone the subject property from A-1 to RS -3. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, he closed the public hearing.

July 2,1994 1112123 The Board reviewed memo from Assistant County Attorney Terry O'Brien dated July 20, 1994: 39 July 26, 1994 wK P91049 50, WOK Po TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Terrence P. O'Brien - Assistant County Attorneo?D DATE: July 20, 1994 RE: PUBLIC HEARING - July 28, 1994 SUBJECT: PROPOSED ORDINANCE ENTITLED: AN ORDINANCE OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 201 COUNTY WATER AND SEWER SERVICES OF THE INDIAN RIVER COUNTY CODE TO PROVIDE PRETREATMENT REGULATIONS. This item came before the Board on June 28, 1994 and was approved for public hearing. The attached ordinance amends Chapter 201 of the Indian River County Code as described above. REQUEST: Staff recommends approval of the attached proposed ordinance. Utility Services Director Terry Pinto explained that the proposed ordinance sets forth uniform requirements for the direct or indirect discharge into county wastewater facilities. It also brings us into compliance with federal and state regulations regarding industrial users. It is important that no pollutants are discharged into our treatment plants because we reuse all of. our effluent and we intend to compost our sludge. Some industrial users - for instance, a plating company - may discharge copper or some foreign metals, and our treatment plants are not designed to handle that. Therefore, it would require that the industrial user pretreat the discharge to meet the standards of domestic waste before coming into our facilities. Commissioner Macht led discussion regarding the procedure to be followed and the expense to industrial users of our wastewater treatment plant who wish to move into our commercial/ industrial nodes to comply with this ordinance. Director Pinto explained that an industrial user of our wastewater treatment plant must certify that they will not discharge any chemicals, and that their discharge is considered the same as domestic waste. If their discharge includes chemicals, they must provide the means to treat that unacceptable discharge before it enters our system. There is an initial application fee of $150 and an annual monitoring fee, which depends on the type of facility. 40 July 26, 1994 A The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, he closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously adopted Ordinance 94-231 amending Chapter 201 County Water and Sewer Services of the Indian River County Code to provide pretreatment regulations. ORDINANCE 94- 2.3. AN ORDINANCE OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 201 COUNTY WATER AND SEWER SERVICES OF THE INDIAN RIVER COUNTY CODE TO PROVIDE PRETREATMENT REGULATIONS.

O'Brien - Assistant County Attorney -� DATE: July 20, 1994 RE: PUBLIC HEARING - July 28, 1994 SUBJECT: PROPOSED ORDINANCE ENTITLED: AN ORDINANCE OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, ADDING A NEW SECTION CONCERNING A WRECKER OPERATOR SYSTEM FOR REMOVAL AND STORAGE OF WRECKED, DISABLED, IA01OUNDED OR ABANDONED VEHICLES IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY. This item came before the Board on June 28, 1994 and was approved for public hearing. The attached ordinance adds a new section to the Indian River County Code as described above. REQUEST: Staff recommends approval of the attached proposed ordinance. 44 July 26, 1994 Attorney O'Brien advised that this ordinance was requested by Sheriff Wheeler. Sheriff Gary Wheeler explained that the objective of the ordinance is to provide a standard in the wrecker service industry in Indian River County. It sets a limit on charges to consumers and keeps the rates fair and competitive because law enforcement uses a rotation list of wreckers. It also provides law enforcement the opportunity to check into complaints. The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) has a state statute and Vero Beach Police Department has an ordinance covering this subject. The rates will follow those established by FHP and will be reviewed annually in October. The maximum number of wrecker service providers will be set and reviewed annually also. Currently we have a list of 18 wrecker service providers and by attrition the number will decrease to 14. The reason for limiting the number of wrecker service providers is that their facility, trucks and equipment must be inspected regularly, which takes law enforcement manpower hours. The rates for wrecker service on the rotation list are higher because they must drop whatever they are doing and respond. If an individual calls a wrecker when there is no emergency, the response time may be 15 minutes or several hours. However, an individual involved in an accident and requiring a wrecker still has the choice of following the rotation schedule or calling a wrecker service of his or her choice. Commissioner Adams led discussion regarding the necessity for inspection of the equipment, and Sheriff Wheeler responded that the facility, trucks and equipment must meet certain standards. The FHP, the Vero Beach Police and the Sheriff's Department call the wreckers on a rotation basis and must have the assurance that they will have appropriate equipment. Commissioner Macht preferred to allow economics and the market set the limits. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, he closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously adopted Ordinance 94-24, adding a new section concerning a wrecker operator system for removal and storage of wrecked, disabled, impounded or abandoned vehicles in Indian River County. 45 �- July 26, 1994 ORDINANCE 94- 24 BOOK AN ORDINANCE OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, ADDING A, NEW SECTION CONCERNING A WRECKER OPERATOR SYSTEM FOR REMOVAL AND STORAGE OF WRECKED, DISABLED, IMPOUNDED OR ABANDONED VEHICLES IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY. 92 PALL 056 WHEREAS, Section 125.0103, F.S., authorizes the County to set rates for the removal and storage of wrecked or disabled vehicles; and and WHEREAS, the County has heretofore not exercised this authority; W-HEREAS, the Sheriff of Indian River County has requested the Commission to establish a procedure to ensure the public of fair and competitive rates for the removal of vehicles, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, that: SECTION 1. AMENDMENT. A new Section 307.12 is added to the Indian River County Code to read as follows: Section 307.12. Selection of wrecker company for service requested through the sheriff. The sheriff may establish a wrecker operator rotation system for the removal and storage of wrecked, disabled, impounded or abandoned vehicles in Indian River County. Said system shall have as a minimum the following: a) In order to be included on the sheriff's office rotation list, the wrecker operator shall submit to the rate schedule setting forth the maximum fees and charges for services offered under this section. The sheriff or his designee shall have the authority to approve the maximum rates chargeable by the operators and operators shall agree, in writing, to abide by the terms and conditions contained within this section and the fee schedule approved by the sheriff prior to being included on the rotation list. The sheriff or his designee is hereby authorized, to execute such agreements with the wrecker operators, on behalf of Indian River County. b) During the month of October each year, beginning in 1994 and thereafter, wrecker services may request the sheriff to revise the fee schedule and may present information substantiating a revised fee. c) All current wrecker services will be grandfathered on the rotation list and due to attrition the rotation list shall be reduced and limited to 14 wrecker services thereafter. d) All wrecker vehicles used in response to calls from the rotation list shall be inspected yearly. Inspections by the Florida Highway Patrol or Vero Beach Police Department shall be accepted by the sheriff as fulfilling the inspection requirement. 46 e) Citizen complaints shall be investigated by the sheriff and if found to be valid may result in suspension or removal from the rotation list by the sheriff. f) The sheriff is authorized to adopt administrative procedures, including application forms, necessary for the implementation of the system. SECTION 2. SEVERABILITY.

OVERALL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN (OEDP) ANNUAL REPORT 1993-94 Community Development Director Bob Keating commented from the following: TO: James E. Chandler County Administrator DIV ION HEAD CONCURRENCE Robert M. Keats , i�A Community Developme �1Director THRU: Sasan Rohani, AICP � 2' Chief, Long -Range Planning FROM: Jay R. Marlles, AICP Economic Developmenta er DATE: July 13, 1994 RE: OVERALL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN (OEDP) ANNUAL REPORT 1993-1994 It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of July 26, 1994. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS In June of 1985, the Indian River County Overall Economic Development Plan (OEDP) was originally adopted by the Board of County Commissioners. Subsequently, the Economic Development Administration (EDA) designated Indian River County as a Title IV Redevelopment Area. To maintain its redevelopment area designation, Indian River County has had to prepare an OEDP progress report and submit this report to EDA on an annual basis. The county has done this each year since the 1985 approval of its OEDP. To meet the 1992 progress report requirement, the county opted to readdress the entire OEDP instead of just submitting a progress report. The county's decision to revise the OEDP was prompted by the availability of more accurate data from the 1990 census, as 48 July 26, 1994 well as the perception that the county's economic development strategies needed to be revised. The county's Economic Development Council and the OEDP Committee reviewed and approved the revised Overall Economic Development Plan on October 27, 1992. The Board of County Commissioners then approved the OEDP at their meeting of November 10, 1992, and a copy of the revised OEDP was forwarded to the EDA. Consistent with Economic Development Administration (EDA) regulations, staff has prepared the 1993/1994 OEDP Annual Report. This report covers the period from October 31, 1993 to June 30, 1994. This is essentially a status and evaluation report of the OEDP. A copy is attached to this agenda item. This Annual Report is required in order for Indian River County to maintain its "redevelopment area" status and its eligibility to apply for federal technical assistance and other funds. The Annual OEDP Report includes the following items: 1. A review of the past year's accomplishments; 2. A report on any significant changes in the economy and its development potentials; and 3. An update of the county's development policies and courses of action planned for the coming two years, including any projects that may require EDA financial assistance. The OEDP Annual Report was reviewed by the Economic Development Council on June 28, 1994, and the council voted unanimously to forward it to the Board of County Commissioners for their approval. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS Upon approval of the OEDP, the most important task was implementation of the OEDP policies and achievement of its objectives. As part 'o ' f the progress report procedure approved by the EDC on January 26, 1993, staff must maintain the OEDP implementation matrix. For each policy of the plan, this matrix identifies the type of action needed, responsibility, timeframe, final product, and completion status. This matrix is updated regularly. The Community Development staff coordinates on a regular basis with the Indian River County Council of 100 staff. As a result, county staff has compiled information on council and county implementation actions and has entered this information into the implementation matrix. The attached matrix, which indicates progress in implementing the OEDP policies, was a useful tool in preparing the OEDP Annual Report. Also, the OEDP Annual Report indicates all economic development initiatives that the county has taken within the last year and the status of these initiatives. As part of its long-range economic development planning, the county has received an EDA grant to update the county's Commercial/Industrial Data Source, prepare an economic base study, and prepare an economic development strategy plan for the county. The Economic Base Study -is currently underway. The results of the economic base study will be utilized to further refine the county's plans and policies in regard to economic development. 49 EON 92 ����o� July 26, 1994 BOOK 92 PAc1060 RECOMMENDATION The EDC and the staff recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve the 1993/1994 Annual OEDP Report and direct staff to forward the report to the Economic Development Administration (EDA). Commissioner Macht led discussion regarding the Implementation Matrix which lists the policies and type of action. He noted that Policy 1.3 and 2.1 both indicated Business Recruitment as the type of action. Director Keating explained that Policy 1.3 relates to cooperating with the Chamber of Commerce and the Council of 100 by providing staff support in their recruitment of businesses considering relocation, and Policy 2.1 relates to efforts to provide year-round employment opportunities and disseminating that information to those agencies. Director Keating conceded that we probably should have used words to indicate the difference but they are two separate policies addressing two different issues. Commissioner Macht led discussion regarding dissemination of information regarding summer employment opportunities, and asked if there is a report of the success of that program. Director Keating responded that staff is working on that report with the objective of identifying possible businesses and industries whose seasons actually compliment those of the tourist and agriculture industries. There are difficulties in actually finding these right now, and a short report will be presented to the Economic Development Council at one of the future meetings. Commissioner Eggert added that the report will be completed by the end of the year. Commissioner Eggert and Director Keating further explained that staff is doing a number of things: updating the commercial industrial data source, preparing an economic base study for the county, working on a revised, more in-depth economic development strategy plan, and developing a fiscal impact model to predict the benefits of bringing employment and industry into the county. Director Keating reported that the high unemployment rate and the cyclical employment rate are also addressed, as well as means of retaining businesses while attracting new ones. Commissioner Bird commended staff, Board members and all the agencies who are cooperating in this project. July 26, 1994 50 M s � o ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved the 1993/94 Annual Overall Economic Development Plan Report and directed staff to forward the report to the Economic Development Administration. BOND COUNSEL SELECTION The Board reviewed memo from OMB Director Joe Baird dated July 20, 1994: TO: Members of the Board of County Commissioners DATE: July 20, 1994 SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR BOND COUNSEL FROM: Joseph A. Bair OMB Director DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Indian River County Budget Office sent out Request for Proposals for Bond Counsel and twelve (12) firms responded. A selection committee composed of Art Diamond - Financial Advisor, Ed Fry - Finance Director, Bob Keating - Community Development Director, Charles Vitunac - County Attorney and Joseph - Baird - OMB Director reviewed the proposals from the firms and short listed four to do presentations to the committee. The four firms were: 1. Rhoads & Simon 2. Squire, Sanders & Dempsey 3. Greenberg, Traurig, Hoffman, Lipof, , Rosen & Quentel 4. Bryant, Miller and Olive On June 28, 1994 the firms made presentations to the committee (Charles Vitunac was unable to attend and his designee was Will Collins.) Following the presentations the committee rankings were as follows: I. Bryant, Miller and Olive and Squire, Sanders & Dempsey (tie) 2. Rhoads & Simon 3. Greenberg, Traurig, Hoffman, Lipoff, Rosen & Quentel Since the ranldngs resulted in two firms being tied for first place, staff is requesting permission to further analyze the two firms and make a recommendation on the one firm we feel would best fit the County's needs. 51 gooK 92 PAA061 July 26, 1994 8D DN RECOMMENDATION PA106 Authorize staff and the Financial Advisor to further analyze the two Bond Counsel firms and make a recommendation on the one we feel would best' fit the County's needs. Discussion ensued regarding the County's past experience with bond counsel. Attorney Vitunac and Director Baird commented that prior bond counsel, Rhoads & Simon, performed very well in the County's interests for ten years. The selection committee was formed after the Board requested that staff send out request for proposals for Bond Counsel. The Board members agreed that the selection committee performed their task properly. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously authorized staff to further analyze the two bond counsel firms and make a recommendation to the Board. ROUND ISLAND PARK LANDSCAPING CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 The Board reviewed memo from Capital Projects Manager Terry Thompson dated July 11, 1994: TO: James E. Chandler, County Administrator THROUGH: James W. Davis, P.E., Public Works Director �j� FROM: Terry B. Thompson, P.E�- Capital Projects Manager SUBJECT: Round Island Park Landscaping Change Order No. 1 DATE: July 11, 1994 FILE: LAND-CO1.agn DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS The bid for landscaping at Round Island Park was awarded to Natureland on June 14, 1994 in the amount of $15,037.78. Funding for this project is from a 1993 Small Business Administration Tree Planting Grant in the amount of -$21,450. The Department of Agriculture has approved of the County planting additional trees to take full advantage of the tree grant amount. The Department of Agriculture is preparing an Amendment to the grant increasing the number of trees from 96 to 172. 52 July 26, 1994 The attached Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $8,267.23, increases Natureland's contract amount to $23,305.01. The tree grant will fund $21,444 of the contract amount for the planting of 172 trees. The County is responsible for funding $1,861.01 for the planting of saw palmettos and ground cover as part of the local match. The remainder of the County's 50/50 local match has already been expended on the installation of irrigation during Round Island Park Phase I Improvements. RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Staff recommends that the Board approve Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $8,267.23 for a new contract amount of $23,305.01. Funding is from Account No. 001-2'10-572-066.51. ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved Change Order No. 1 to the contract with Natureland in the amount of $8,267.23 for a new contract amount of $23,305.01, as recommended by staff. CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF CLERK TO THE BOARD STATE ROAD AIA WIDENING AND DRAINAGE UyWROVEMENTS The Board reviewed memo from Capital Projects Manager Terry Thompson dated July 18, 1994: TO: James E. Chandler, -County Administrator THROUGH: James W. Davis, P.E., Public Works Director FROM: Terry B. Thompson.,P.E.�� Capital Projects Manager SUBJECT: SR A1A Widening and Drainage Improvements DATE: July 18, 1994 FILE: SouthAlA.agn/tbt DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Kimley-Horn Associates, Inc. is currently designing improvements on SR AIA from 635' south of Windward Way to Mooringline Drive. The County has requested a proposal from Kimley-Horn to three lane A1A from a point approximately midway between Mooringline Drive and Windward Way north to Harbor Drive. The attached agreement with Kimley-Horn Associates, Inc. provides for survey, design, permitting and preparation of construction drawings for the proposed widening and drainage improvements at a cost of $31,672. 53 �'® Oil F�°�'� July 26, 1994 Staff feels that Kimley-Horn Associates can best perform the proposed work because the survey data and drawings they are preparing for the other project overlaps with the limits of the County's proposed project. Also, timing is critical because the FDOT is scheduled to resurface A1A from Castaway Cove to St. Lucie County in the fall. Under normal procedures the project would be subject to CCNA procedures; however, if the County is to take advantage of these unforeseen combination of circumstances outlined above it must act immediately. The staff, therefore, recommends that the Board determine that an emergency exists as contemplated under Section 287.055(3)F.S.. Further it should be noted that Kimley-Horn has been found, in the past., under CCNA procedures to be a qualified professional firm. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The alternatives are as follows: Alternative No. 1 Approve the attached Agreement between Kimley-Horn Associates, Inc. and Indian River County in the amount of $31,672. Alternative No. 2 Issue a request for proposal and select a firm to perform the services in accordance with CCNA. This alternative will delay project implementation and will, in all likely hood, result in a higher cost. RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING It is recommended that Alternative No. 1 be accepted, whereby the attached Agreement is approved. Funding is from Account 101-152- 541-067.37. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved the agreement with Kimley-Horn Associates, Inc., in the amount of $31,672, as set out in staffs Alternative No. 1. AGREEMENT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF CLERK TO THE BOARD EXTENSION OF 5TH STREET S.W. EAST OF 20TH AVENUE The Board reviewed memo from Public Works Director Jim Davis dated July 20, 1994: 54 July 26, 1994 TO: James E. Chandler, County Administrator FROM: James W. Davis, P.E., Public Works Director SUBJECT: Extension of 5th Street SW East of 20th Avenue REF. LETTER: Andrew J. Tennis and Davis dated DATE: July 20, 1994 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Mustapick, Timber Ridge Fitness Ranch, to Jim June 27, 1994 FILE: 5STSW.AON Andy Mustapick, developer of Timber Ridge, owns land east of the proposed South County Middle School north of the existing 30' wide 5th Street SW right-of-way. To access his land for development, Mr. Mustapick requests that the County permit him to purchase 50' of additional road right-of-way along 5th Street SW from Edmund Ansin on the County's behalf. He would donate 30' of the 50' additional right-of-way to the County to meet the County's local road standard (60' wide right-of-way), and he requests that the County reimburse him for the additional 20' of right-of-way to meet the County Thoroughfare Plan's Secondary Collector Road right-of- way width of 801. Once the right-of-way is acquired, Timber Ridge will pave 5th Street SW to the project entrance and apply for Traffic Impact Fee Credits as compensation for constructing the road. The right-of-way cost is approximately. 0.4 acres $20,000/acre = $8000. Road paving cost is approximately $45,000. ALTERAINTIVES A.*JD ANALYSIS The alternatives are as follows: Alternative No. 1 Approve the request. Accept the additional 50' of right- of-way from Timber Ridge and issue Traffic Impact Fee credits for both the value of the 20' additional right- of-way for collector road needs (approx. $8000) and the cost for paving approximately 900' of 5th Street SW (approximately $45,000). Compensation shall be by Traffic Impact Fee credits. Alternative No. 2 Secure right-of-way and pave the road by Special Assessment Paving whereby the County. would purchase additional right-of-way (50' x 900' = 1.03 acre) at a cost of $20,661 and pave the road at a cost of $45,000. Total project cost would be $65,661. Since 5th Street SW is a collector road, the County Special Assessment Fund would pay 50% of the cost or approximately $32,831 and benefitted owners, particularly Mr. Ansin, Indian River County, and Timber Ridge would be assessed the remaining 50%. Alternative No. 3 Deny the Request. 55 July 26, 1994 Boos �0 OX RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING 2 axi OGG Alternative No. 1 is recommended. Funding shall be from Traffic Impact Fee Credits issued to Timber Ridge. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved Alternative No. 1 as set out in staff's memorandum. REQUEST FOR COUNTY ROAD GRADING - 26TH COURT S.W. BETWEEN MTH STREET S.W. AND 14TH STREET S.W., AND 103RD COURT BETWEEN 93RD STREET AND CR -512 The Board reviewed memo from Public Works Director Jim Davis dated July 20, 1994: TO: James E. Chandler, County Administrator FROM: James W.

LETTER: 1) Jurgen Muller to James Davis dated June 7, 1994 2) Dennis Freese to Jim Davis dated June 30, 1994 DATE: July 20, 1994 FILE: 266103.A@I DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Requests have been received for the County Public Works Department to begin grading 26th Court SW between 13th Street SW and 14th Street SW and 103rd Court between 93rd Street and CR512. Both roads are located in County dedicated right-of-ways but have not been historically graded. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS Staff has evaluated the requests under the evaluation criteria for non -maintained roads. A score of 80 points was assigned to 26th Court and 85 points assigned to 103rd Court. A minimum score of 75 points has been previously used for staff to recommend maintenance grading. RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Since evaluation of both roads resulted in a score of greater than 75 points, staff recommends that they be added to the County road grading routes. 56 July 26, 1994 ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously added the roads listed in the memorandum to the County road grading routes, as recommended by staff.

The actual monitoring will proceed in two phases using local surveyors and data collectors. Commissioner Macht noted that this monitoring is required by the State, and he asked whether there will be any funds from the State. Administrator Chandler responded that we hope to get reimbursement from the State and Federal governments for the second and third phases. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved the agreement with the Director of the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station in the amount of $23,000, as set out in staff's Alternative No. 1. AGREEMENT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF CLERK TO THE BOARD RELEASE AND SUBSTITU'T'ION OF CONSERVATION EASEMENT - LINDSEY LANES SUBDIVISION The Board reviewed memo from Deputy County Attorney William G. Collins II dated July 19, 1994: TO: The Board of County Commissioners FROM: �� William G. Collins II - Deputy County Attorney DATE: July 19, 1994 SUBJECT: Release and Substitution of Conservation Easement - Lindsey Lanes Subdivision Lindsey Lanes Subdivision, Phase I was one of the first processed under the land development regulations revised in September of 1990 to provide for preservation of native upland habitat. The requirement was satisfied through the provision of perimeter buffers at the rear and sides of many of the lots within the subdivision. The developer has discovered that the easements, as platted, at times preclude the development of accessory uses such as swimming pools on certain of the lots. The developer, Stolle Development Corporation, has proposed a substitution of conservation easement from a particular lot (Lot 16, Block A), where the purchaser desires a pool, to a second lot (Lot 1, Block B) which the developer has discovered is less desirable for development due to its location at the project entrance. 58 July 26, 1994 Stolle Development Corporation is also proposing to place 32 acres of property which they own south of 13th Street, S.W. and west of 27th Avenue under a conservation easement. This 32 acres would serve as a land bank should similar situations arise in the future with respect to platted lots within Lindsey Lanes Subdivision. The Environmental Planning Division has examined the proposed "land bank" area and determined that it does consist of native upland vegetation which would be suitable for conservation. The preservation of a larger intact contiguous portion of native habitat furthers the purpose and intent of Chapter 929, Upland Habitat Protection, by promoting the preservation of sufficient upland ecological communities to maintain viable populations of all native plant species. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Authorize the Chairman to execute the Release and Substitution of Conservation Easement from Lot 16, Block A to Lot 1, Block B of Lindsey Lanes Subdivision, Phase I. 2. Approve the concept of creating a 31 -acre native upland "land bank" , to be utilized in future situations where circumstances within the Lindsey Lanes Subdivision require the release of any further platted conservation easements. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously authorized the Chairman to execute the Release and Substitution of Conservation Easement in Lindsey Lanes Subdivision as set out in staff's memorandum.

REOUEST FROM CITY OF VERO BEACH FOR FUNDS TO MAINTAIN CENTER FOR THE ARTS The Board reviewed letter from City of Vero Beach City Manager T. R. Nason dated July 19, 1994: 62 July 26, 1994 mr. John Tippen, Chairman Board of County Commissioners Indian River County 1840 - 25th Street Vero Beach, FL 32960-3394 Dear Mr. Tippen: City of Vero Beach 1053 - 201h P1-4CIY - P.O. BOX 1.389 4TRO BF.; 9C Y, FLORII b4 32961-1389 Telephone.• (407) 5675151 Fax• (407) 778:3856 July 19, 1994 During the recent budget workshops, the City Council decided to add a man to the Parks Department to ensure the maintenance of the Riverside Theater, the Children's Theater, and the Center for -the Arts. The total cost of this maintenance includes: 1. Basic landscape maintenance 2. Fertilizers three times a year 3. Mowing and trimming 4. Payment for the reuse water irrigation The total charge for this entire project is $31,050. It is the Council's opinion, and I agree, that the Center for the Arts and the two theaters indeed provide opportunities to both County residents as well as those who live in the incorporated areas. Consequently, we are respectfully requesting you consider funding $15,000 of the total maintenance budget associated with these facilities. Many countywide documents such as those that come from the Chamber of Commerce and other sources for industry reflect the fact that we do have this cultural area, and it is at a scale that is normally associated with a city and county of much larger population. I recognize you have just about completed your preliminary budget; however, I would appreciate your consideration in participating in the funding for these cultural activities for all residents of Indian River County. _ _ _ Very truly yours, Your kind attention to this matter is appreciated. G,�, T. R. Nason City Manager/Utilities Director Commissioner Adams suggested placing this request on the list of budget items to be considered. Administrator Chandler advised that we do not have any funds provided in the budget for this request, and if we were to consider this $15,000, we would need a source of funding for it. Commissioner Bird felt our response should be that we must decline the invitation to participate due to budgetary constraints this year. Commissioner Macht agreed with the City's position that the County has a responsibility for this project and that it should be funded through the Tourist Tax money. Discussion ensued, and it was the consensus of the Board that the County's budget cannot fund this expense and we should put it on the list for next year. 63 ` �" BOOK 1 July 26, 1994 Boot 0,2 eAJ074 APPOINTMENT OF STEVE PATE TO THE PLANNING & ZONING CONIlVIISSION ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously appointed Steve Pate to the Planning & Zoning Commission from District 4. COURTHOUSE ADVISORY COMIVIITTEE RECOMMENDATION FOR OPENING DATE The Board reviewed memo from Commissioner Macht: ADDITION TO THE AGENDA. UNDER KEN MACHT'S MATTERS On July 21, 1994 the Courthouse Advisory Committee passed a motion to request that the opening date for new courthouse be moved to Monday, November 28, 1994. The old courthouse will shut down from Monday November 21 through Wednesday November 23 for the move (November 24 and 25 are holidays for Thanksgiving). The committee felt this would give everyone enough leeway to ensure that the courthouse is complete. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved the opening date of November 28, 1994 for the new courthouse, as recommended by the Courthouse Advisory Committee. UNSIGNED LETTER REGARDING COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT Commissioner Adams wished to discuss a letter which had been given to her by a Deputy Sheriff. The letter contained comments regarding the salaries of County employees and discussed the Board's intentions regarding raises for employees. Commissioner Adams stressed that the letter contained inaccuracies and was July 26, 1994 64 � J distributed to deputies and she wished the inaccuracies to be corrected. She emphasized that the Board directed staff to attempt to include a COLA raise in the budget. She also pointed out that the Board's salaries are set by the State, along with the salaries of the constitutional officers. Commissioner Adams asked for a response from Sheriff Wheeler. Sheriff Gary Wheeler responded that he had no knowledge of the letter prior to the meeting and did not know who wrote it. He felt that it was an expression of the frustration of employees who had no other means of expressing their feelings. Commissioner Adams asked, and Sheriff Wheeler responded that he did not authorize the letter, did not condone the letter, and had no knowledge of the letter beforehand, but he understood the author's motivation. Discussion ensued regarding anonymous letters, and Commissioner Macht stated that he does not give credence to anything contained in anonymous letters. Sheriff Wheeler agreed, but believed that this particular letter was written because of frustration. APPOINTMENT OF ADDITIONAL MEMBERS TO PARKS AND RECREATION CO E Commissioner Bird reported that following the Board's direction to add two members to the Parks and Recreation Committee, resumes were received. He preferred to distribute the resumes to all the Board members for consideration at the next regular meeting of the Board. The Board members agreed.
