Rea in , AIC 57 Community Devel went irector THROUGH: Stan Bolin AICP Planning Director FROM: John W. McCoy, AICP '-1r6VN Senior Planner, Current Development DATE: October 10,-1994 SUBJECT: Final Plat for The Laurels Subdivision Phase I (SD -92-10-05) It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of October 181 1994. OCTOBER 18, 1994 2 L- I DEVELOPMENT & LOCATION: The Laurels Subdivision Phase I is a 28 lot subdivision of a 10.80 acre parcel of land located on the north side of 8th Street at 39th Avenue. Three additional phases comprised of 85 lots on. 27.18 -acres will be constructed and final platted in the future to make 113 lots for the overall subdivision. The subject property is zoned RS -61 single family residential (up to 6 units per acre) and has an L-2, Low Density 2 (up to 6 units per acre) land use designation. The proposed density for this phase is 2.59 dwelling units per acre, while the density for the overall subdivision is 2.98 dwelling units per acre. At its regular meeting of August 27, 1992s the Planning and Zoning Commission granted preliminary plat approval for the entire subdivision, including Phases I through IV. On April 121 1994, the Board of County Commissioners granted the developer's request for a preliminary plat extension. The owner, Laurel Homes, Inc., is now requesting final plat approval for Phase I and has submitted the following: 1. A Phase I final plat in conformance with the approved preliminary plat. 2. A cost estimate for construction of remaining required improvements. 3. A contract for construction for the remaining required improvements. 4. A letter of credit to guarantee the construction. ANALYSIS: A majority of the subdivision improvements have been completed, with the exception of a sidewalk, roadway signage and markings, sodding and some off-site utility work necessary to provide the subdivision with sanitary sewer service. A contract for construction for the remaining required improvements along with a letter of credit to secure the contract has been submitted by the applicant. The .County Engineering Division and Utility Services have approved the amount of the letter of credit as being adequate to cover the cost of the remaining required road, drainage, sidewalk, and utility improvements. The County Attorney's Office has approved the contract for construction and the format of the letter of credit. All applicable requirements regarding final plat approval have been satisfied. Pursuant to the county's LDRs, once all construction is completed, the applicant will be required to submit a warranty maintenance agreement and post security to guarantee for 1 year the performance of publicly dedicated subdivision road and drainage improvements. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that- the Board of County Commissioners grant final plat approval for The Laurels Subdivision Phase I, authorize the Chairman to sign the contract for construction, and accept the letter of credit.

Arbitrage Rebate The Board reviewed Memorandum of October 12, 1994: TO: Board of County Commissioners DATE: October 12, 1994 SUBJECT: Arbitrage Rebate FROM: Edwin M. Fry, Jr, Finance Director I t Background Information The arbitrage rebate for the General Obligations Bonds, Series 1989 in the amount of $166,442 is due to the United States Treasury Department. This amount is based upon calculations performed by Coopers & Lybrand, LLP in accordance with the County's contract with Coopers for arbitrage rebate calculation services. Arbitrage is defined as the interest earnings in excess of the interest earnings that would be received if the bond proceeds were invested at the same interest rate as that paid on the bonds that were issued. The Treasury Department has issued extensive regulations regarding the calculation of the arbitrage rebate and when the rebate is due. According to the regulations, the County must remit the arbitrage rebate every five (5) years from the date of issuance of each bond issue or within 180 days of the final debt service payment on each bond issue. The final debt service payment on the General Obligation Bonds, Series 1989 was July 1, 1994. Coopers & Lybrand, LLP has prepared the Arbitrage Rebate reporting form. This form requires the signature of an officer. Since the Chairman of the.Board of County Commissioners signed the reporting documents required by the Treasury Department when the Bonds were issued, it will be necessary for the Chairman to sign the Rebate reporting form. Requested Action Request the Board of County Commissioners to authorize the Chairman of the Board to sign the Arbitrage Rebate form. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved execution of the Arbitrage Rebate Reporting Form as prepared by Coopers & Lyband, LLP, pursuant to recommendations by staff.

Deletion of Bleachers from Fixed Assets The Board reviewed Memorandum of October 12, 1994: TO: Board of County Commissioners THROUGH: Joseph A Baird, Budget Directo 10 FROM: Edwin M Fry, Jr, Finance Director DATE: October 12, 1994 SUBJECT: Deletion of Bleachers From Fixed Assets Background The County owns bleachers which are used by the Recreation Department and the Parks Department at various locations throughout the County. It is very difficult to track these bleachers by asset number since the property tags are continually removed and there is no serial number or other identifying number on the bleachers. Since the bleachers serve a unique purpose and are not easily converted to other use, we believe that removing them from the fixed assets inventory would not expose the County to a significant risk of loss. Jim Davis, Public Works Director- and Pat Callahan, Recreation Director have agreed With our suggestion to delete the bleachers from the Fixed Assets Inventory. The value of the fixed assets that we are proposing to delete from the Fixed Assets Inventory is $23,417.28 Recommendation Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the deletion of bleachers from the Fixed Assets Inventory. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved the treatment of the bleachers owned by the County as a non -capital expenditure and their deletion from the Fixed Assets Inventory as recommended by staff.

It was a hard decision for me to make, but it came as a result of my position change (different coporate philosophy) and my return to Florida Atlantic University to continue my education. Hopefully that old adage is'true; you're never too old to learn. I have asked Reck Niebuhr to represent the Juvenile Justice Council at the Childrens' Advisory Council and he has agreed. I hope that works well for you. I will sincerely miss the wonderful people who care so much for our children I Sincerely, • Jeanine Chapp R.N.

WHEELER • INDIAN RIVER COUNTY MEMBER FLORIDA SHERIFFS ASSOCIATION MEMBER OF NATIONAL SHERIFFS ASSOCIATION 4055 41st AVENUE VERO BEACH, FLORIDA 32960-1808 PHONE 407-569-6700 October 14, 1994 OC?'1994 ADMINISnNTpa to �FICE The Honorable John Tippin, Chair Board of County Commissioners Indian River County 1840 25th Street Vero Beach, FL 32960 Dear Commissioner Tippin: Re: STOP Stick This letter is a request to expend $45,692 from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund to purchase the initial supply of "STOP Sticks" for this agency. Each officer will be equipped with an alternative method to stop a fleeing vehicle in a pursuit situation. I feel this product offers a safer means to end a potentially -dangerous circumstance. I, along with several members of my staff, attended a demonstration of this product on Wednesday of this week at the Sebastian Municipal Airport. We were all impressed with what we saw. I will be pleased.toattend your next meeting to answer any questions you may have. I am enclosing a copy of the brochure which explains the features of the product. Sincerely, Gary C. Wheeler, Sheriff OCTOBER 18, 1994 11 W 521 Commissioner Bird expressed his concerns that in order for the "stop sticks" to work effectively, someone has to be ahead of the car and the car has to stay in that lane. He wondered how we can be sure other people will not get there first. He understood the -= theory but wondered if all circumstances must be present in order for this to work. Sheriff Wheeler responded that, in most cases, they have plenty of preparation time. Sheriff Wheeler reported that he had looked at other equipment which was not as well designed. This design is very light and easy to handle. You can throw it in front of the car or- you can hook them together and pull a line of them across the road in front of the vehicle. When the car hits it, the tire goes flat in 3 or 4 blocks. Sebastian, Indian River Shores, Brevard, St. Lucie, and Martin Counties, as well as the state of Arizona, are already using them and he believes that in 5 years every police car in the country will be equipped with them. He emphasized the safety in that the tire is punctured but control is not lost, the car is simply slowed down. He attended a demonstration at the Sebastian Airport and they always got at least one tire on a car. This is a new program and the company will replace for free any "stop sticks" used in the first 5 years. He anticipated a decrease in the purchase price through negotiation. - ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved the purchase of the "STOP Sticks" in the amount of $45,692 from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund, as recommended by staff.

DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS This is a request by staff and Ty Tarby, Trustee for the subject property, that the Board of County Commissioners adopt a proposed Stipulated Settlement Agreement (Compliance Agreement) to resolve the Department of Community Affairs' (DCA) objections and non- compliance finding for the Indian River Mall land use amendment. Attachment 2 is a copy of the Stipulated Settlement Agreement. The primary provision of the Stipulated Settlement Agreement is the creation of a new Regional Commercial land use designation. Backaround • Indian River Mall Land Use Amendment Request In January 1994, Ty Tarby, Trustee, submitted a request to amend the. Comprehensive Plan future land use map. The subject property consisted of, approximately 130.3 acres located on the north side of S.R. 60 between 58th Avenue and 66th Avenue. As submitted, the request involved changing the land use designation from M-1, Medium -Density Residential -1 (up to 8 units/acre); to C/I, Commercial/Industrial Node. The purpose of Mr. Tarby's request was to secure the necessary land use designation to develop the property as a regional shopping center. The Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation is proposing to construct a--945,364 square foot -regional mall (the Indian River Mall), with a 4041979 square foot community shopping center and 166,831 square feet of peripheral retail commercial space, on the property. The entire project has been reviewed as a Development of Regional Impact (DRI). OCTOBER 18, 1994 W BOOK UJ PAC 525" _I � �a PC CK W PALA 526 • Adoption of Land Use Amendment On February 10, 1994, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-1 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners transmit the Indian River Mall land use amendment to DCA for their review. In March, 1994, the Board of County Commissioners voted 5-0 to transmit the Indian River Mall land use amendment request to DCA for their review. Consistent with state regulations, DCA reviewed the Indian River Mall Amendment and prepared -an Objections, Recommendations and Comments (ORC) Report, which planning staff received on May 23, 1994. The ORC Report contained two objections to the Indian River Mall Amendment. Those objections dealt with the overallocation of commercial land in the county, and with the protection *of endangered vegetation on the site. Attachment 3 is a copy of the ORC Report. On July 19, 1994, the Board of County Commissioners voted 5-0 to adopt the Indian River Mall Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Although the amendment's support document was revised to address DCA's objections, DCA, on September 7, 1994, issued a Statement of Intent to find the Indian River Mall Amendment "not in compliance". Attachment 4 is a copy of the Statement of Intent. • DCA's Objections In its Statement of Intent, DCA raised one objection. That objection, dealing with the overallocation of commercial land in the county, was similar to an objection raised in the ORC Report. The Statement of Intent's recommended action, however, was entirely different than the recommended action in the ORC Report. In both the ORC Report and the Statement of Intent, DCA expressed concern that there were insufficient safeguards to ensure that the subject property, if redesignated to C/I, could be developed only as a regional mall site. DCA argued that the C/I designation allows a wide variety of general commercial and industrial development, for which there is already an overallocation of land. The county's position was that, since the proposed land use amendment is associated with a DRI, the county has special control which is not available in a normal rezoning or plan amendment. That control involves conditioning the DRI Development Order. In this case, the Development Order could ensure that the subject property would not be available for general commercial use (for which there is sufficient land currently available) by providing enough time for the county to redesignate and rezone the property if a regional mall was not constructed. The previously approved Harbortown Mall DRI Development Order contains such conditions, and the DRI Development Order associated with the Indian River Mall land use plan amendment request also contains such conditions. Additionally, Future Land Use Element Policy 1.24 provides that land which has been redesignated from residential to commercial/ industrial will revert to residential if development has not progressed within certain timeframes. Despite the county having addressed DCA's ORC report objection regarding commercial land overallocation through a development order condition, DCA found the -Indian River Mall amendment not in compliance. DCA's noncompliance statement of intent, however, differed from its ORC report in one significant way. In the ORC report, DCA indicated that the county could adequately address DCA's objection by adopting.a site specific policy ensuring that no OCTOBER 18, 1994 16 M general- commercial uses would be -constructed on the subject property -if the mall facility were not built.. With its noncompliance intent statement, however, DCA changed its recommended action to resolve the objection. Instead of a_site specific policy as recommended in the ORC report, the noncompliance intent statement indicated that the county had to create a new regional commercial land use designation and redesignate the subject property to that land use category. The significance of DCA's noncompliance finding is that the proposed Indian River Mall project cannot be built until that noncompliance determination is resolved. To resolve it, there are two options. Essentially, these are to negotiate a settlement with DCA staff or to appeal the issue through the administrative procedures process with an ultimate decision by the governor and cabinet, sitting as the Land and Water Adjudicatory Commission. While the facts in this case support the appeal option, the applicant's time constraints favor a negotiated settlement. Stipulated Settlement Agreement Shortly after receipt of DCA's Statement of Intent, county staff, DCA, and the applicant participated in negotiations to bring the Indian River Mall amendment into compliance. Subsequently, a Stipulated Settlement Agreement acceptable to all parties was drafted. That Stipulated Settlement Agreement was executed by DCA on September 13, 1994. With the adoption of the Stipulated Settlement Agreement, the Board of County Commissioners would agree to take the following remedial actions within 60 days: 1. adopt a remedial comprehensive plan amendment to create a new Regional Commercial land use designation; and 2. redesignate the 130.3 acre Indian River Mall site to the Regional Commercial land use designation. The above actions can and will be combined into one remedial comprehensive plan amendment which is scheduled for a public hearing before the Board of County Commissioners on October 25, 1994. If the Board does not approve the Stipulated Settlement Agreement, the remedial comprehensive plan amendment will be removed from the October 25, 1994, Board agenda and will not be considered by the Board. With the adoption of the Stipulated Settlement Agreement and the remedial amendments, DCA will take two actions to remove the noncompliance status of the Indian River Mall Amendment and thereby eliminate the threat of state financial sanctions. Those actions are: 1. issue a cumulative notice of intent addressing both the initial_ Indian River Mall Amendment and the remedial amendments; and 2. request dismissal of the administrative hearing case for the Indian River Mall Amendment. OCTOBER 18, 1994 17 BOOK FALL 800K MU 28 ANALYSIS As drafted, the proposed stipulated settlement agreement will resolve DCA's objections and allow the Indian River Mall project to proceed. Therefore, adoption of 'the agreement and subsequent adoption of the remedial amendments required by the agreement will meet both the county's and the applicant's objectives. For those reasons, the agreement should --be adopted. In that the agreement requires the county to expand the number of categories on its land use map, the agreement and amendment will add to the comprehensive plan's complexity. While adding one land use category will not have a significant effect, the concern is that DCA's philosophy is to address issues by adding single -purpose land use categories to comprehensive plan future land use maps. This can add to a proliferation of land use categories and change the function of a future land use map from being a more generalized, broad based tool to being the equivalent of a detailed zoning map. In this case, the new land use category will provide DCA with.the assurance that the site will be used only for regional commercial uses unless the site's land use designation is changed again in the future. To effect such a change, however, DCA will be involved through its review of the land use amendment needed to make such a change. While DCA feels that a land use map amendment is the minimum action necessary to ensure that use of the site will not increase the overallocation of general commercial land in the county, the staff feels that the development order condition imposed through the DRI process and thereby associated with the Indian River Mall land use amendment would be sufficient to provide DCA with its required assurances. Regardless, staff's position is that the stipulated settlement agreement, as proposed and executed by DCA, represents the most expedient resolution of the noncompliance issue. Therefore, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the proposed agreement. RECONMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the Stipulated Settlement Agreement regarding the Indian River Mall Amendment and authorize the Chairman to execute the Agreement. Community Development Director Bob Keating reported that the stipulated agreement, if executed, will bind both Darties. The County will agree to adopt the amendments and DCA agrees to issue a notice of intent and drop the alternative hearing. DCA has executed the agreement and it has already been advertised for next Tuesday. It is important to note that there are three options; (1) withdraw the plan amendment and forget the project, (2) appeal _ DCA's findings, or (3) execute the stipulated settlement agreement. Staff and the applicant feel the third alternative is best and that the agreement is something we can live with. OCTOBER 18, 1994 18 M M M The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked- if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Mike Kiefer, 1943 62nd Drive (Charlotte Avenue) stated that he is pleased that staff is recommending settlement and urged the Board to adopt the agreement. He then inquired whether the parcel designation will be a "regional commercial" designation. Director Keating explained that by adopting the agreement the County commits to adopting the designation of a regional mall. If a mall is not built, nothing can be built on it without a Comp Plan amendment. Mr. Kiefer, with the understanding of the explanation that a Comp Plan amendment would be needed to change the land use, urged the Board to approve the amendment with the condition that staff be directed to pave the driveway entrances off SR -60 in the area across SR -60. Chairman Tippin asked if anyone else wished to speak and, there being none, he closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved the execution of the Stipulated Settlement Agreement, pursuant to staff's recommendations. AGREEMENT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD LAND ACQUISITION GUIDE/REVISIONS/APPRAISALS NEGOTIATIONS AND CONFIDENTIALITY The Board reviewed a Memorandum of October 11, 1994: OCTOBER 18, 1994 19 BOOK 93 FAL 529 BOOK b 3 FAG t 5,3L� TO: James E. Chandler .County Administrator HEAD CONCURRENCE: Robert M-. -Keating, Community Developm FROM: Roland M. DeBlois,'IiICP Chief, Environmental Planning DATE: October 11, 1994 RE: Request for Board Approval of Revisions -to the Land Acquisition Guide Regarding Appraisals, Negotiation, and Confidentiality Requirements It is requested that the' data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of October 18, 1994. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS The_ Indian River County Land Acquisition Guide was originally approved by the Board of County Commissioners on May 7, 1991. The Guide was approved as the primary document containing policies, standards, and procedures relating to the County's environmental land acquisition/management program. On July 20, 1993, the Guide underwent revisions approved by the Board. The Guide provides for annual review by the Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (LAAC) for recommendations to the Board regarding Guide revisions, as warranted. Recently, LAAC members expressed concern regarding appraisal procedures and, more specifically, LAAC's role in making purchase price recommendations without the opportunity to review appraisals. To address this concern and to align land value determination procedures with state cost -share agency procedures, staff prepared proposed revisions to the Guide. A copy of those proposed revisions is attached. LAAC, at its meeting of September 21, 1994, reviewed these proposed changes and voted unanimously to recommend that the Board approve the Guide revisions (with a minor amendment which has since been included in the proposed revisions; see attached unapproved minutes). Summary of Proposed Revisions The proposed revisions are to acquisition procedures set forth (see attached). OCTOBER 18, 1994 20 Phases 6 and 7 of. the land _ in -the Guide, starting on page 34 _I "Approved Appraised Value" Determination Under Phase 6, the proposed revisions specify how appraisals will be sought and used under different circumstances. These procedures are consistent with state cost -share agency procedures. The main purpose of this section is establishing criteria to determine an "approved appraised value", which is the maximum amount of money which may be paid for a land purchase. The "approved appraised value" is not intended to be a negotiation value or target price, but merely an upper limit. The changes proposed In this section address instances where two obtained appraisals differ significantly (more than 20%), by establishing a standard procedure for determining one approved appraised value in such circumstances. Negotiations The proposed additional section on negotiations (page 37 of the draft revisions) provides more detail than is currently in the Guide on this topic. An important aspect of this section is on revised page 38 (line 8). This section points out that, in accordance with Florida Statutes Chapter 125, any purchase price that exceeds the average of two appraisals (when two appraisals are required) needs an extraordinary vote (4) of the Board for approval. Confidentiality This section addresses the issue relating to LAAC review and recommendations on negotiated purchase price for proposed land acquisitions. Under the proposed revised procedures, staff will approach the Committee for purchase recommendations only after a contract has been negotiated and executed by the seller, but before Board approval consideration. Under this procedure, appraisals may be made public at the time of LAAC review. —This will not jeopardize public interest, because the seller will have already committed to a negotiated sale price. However, the decision to release appraisals for public information at the time of LAAC review will be subject to county cost -share partner concurrence, to ensure that cost -share partner procedures are not violated. Once appraisals are made public, they will -not be used again as appraisals approved for acquisition by the County. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board approve the proposed Land Acquisition Guide revisions. OCTOBER 189 1994 21 BOOK U3 FACE .J _, BOOK 93 PgL , Roland DeBlois, Chief of Environment Planning, stated that the Guide was adopted in 1991, revised in July, 1993, and provides for ` an annual review. The revisions require one appraisal when the purchase price is under $400,000 and two appraisals when the purchase price is over $500,000, together with allowing the committee full access to all information. If the appraisals are -= made public, the Board would have to consider the purchase within 30 days. The revisions have been reviewed by the Land Acquisition Advisory Committee, who voted to approve with one change -- the addition of the wording "unless precluded by the cost -share partner". ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved the proposed Land Acquisition Guide revisions, as recommended by staff. LAND ACQUISITION GUIDE REVISIONS WILL BE ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERIC TO THE BOARD WHEN EXECUTED AND RECEIVED OSLO ROAD, ADDITIONAL RIGHT-OF-WAY: PARCEL #127 The Board reviewed a Memorandum of October 10, 1994: TO: James E. Chandler County_ Administrator THROUGH: James W. Davis, P.E. Public Works Directo PV AND Terry B. Thompson, P.E. Capital Projects Manager FROM: Donald G. Finney, SRA County Right -of -Way Agent SUBJECT: Oslo Road, Additional Right -of -Way; Parcel #127, Father and Son Appliance Company COUNTY PROJECT #: 8919 DATE: October 10, 1994 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Additional right-of-way on the south side of Oslo Road is needed to continue the widening of Oslo Road further to the west from the top of'the ridge to the canal. OCTOBER 18, 1994 22 M - The property owner has executed_a contract for $14,810.00 for the 28.78' x 1321, CG zoned parcel, and relocation of the septic tank system and connection to the county water system. The purchase price is at $2.30 per square foot which is the same price per square foot the county paid for all other CG zoned parcels on Oslo Road. The contract is itemized as follows: 3,800 sq.ft. Land $ 8,740.00 Septic System relocation 1,850.00 County Water Connection 4.220.00 TOTAL: $14,810.00 W.E. Roddenberry, attorney fee 8 hours $ 1,200.00 The existing septic system is in the proposed right-of-way to be purchased and requires relocation. The only relocation area brings the proximity to the well to less than the required 100' clearance distance. Consequently, moving the well is not permitted under Environmental Health Regulations where there is utility water available, therefore, connection to the county water system is required. The County's estimate from Inquires from septic tank companies and the County Utilities Department is attached. No appraisals were obtained because of the current sales and recent purchase of adjoining parcels at $2.30, and the additional cost and time element. There are no engineers or appraisers fees to be paid by Indian River County. Staff requests the Board of County Commissioners approve the $14,810.00 purchase and payment of $1,200 attorney's fee and authorize the Chairman to execute the contract. FUNDING Funding to be from Account No. 101-156-541-067.43, Traffic Impact Fee, District 6 Commissioner Adams questioned approving the Addendum with the inclusion of the County having to put in a retaining wall in the future since the property owner is being compensated now. Public Works Director Jim Davis explained that the seller is considering a change of use for that building which has lain dormant for the last year or two. The building sits on top of the ridge on Old Dixie Highway, and the owner is considering selling that property which would make that greenway important. OCTOBER 18, 1994 23 BOOK FA4 BOOK PAGL 534 Commissioner Adams was concerned about continued liability with the retaining wall, but Director Davis didn't anticipate it would be a big project to take it out. The seller was very adamant about having these conditions placed on this transaction. Attorney Vitunac advised that there would be continued County liability if the retaining wall-- is on County property. _- Commissioner Bird suggested that Director Davis restructure Paragraphs B.2 and B.4 to say that the wall will be built on the owner's property, not on County property. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously tabled this item for two weeks until the regular meeting of November 1, 1994 to allow staff to negotiate further. MURPHY DEED ROAD RESERVATIONS The Board reviewed a Memorandum of October 6, 1994: TO: James Chandler County Administrator THROUGH: James W. Davis, P.E. Public Works Director FROM: Roger D. Cain, P.E. ! County Engineer SUBJECT: Murphy Deed Road Reservations Agreement with Atlantic Coastal Title Corporation (Atlantic) DATE: October 6, 1994 The Board of County Commissioners at their meeting of September 27,1994, directed County Staff to negotiate an agreement for services with Atlantic Coastal Title Corporation (Atlantic) the purpose of which was to identify and locate Murphy Deed road reservations in Indian River County. Staff has done that and believes that it has negotiated a very beneficial agreement that will provide much needed information in an organized form for a reasonable price. The original proposals to staff by two firms including Atlantic was more than triple the $20,000.00 figure finally negotiated. Staff was able to reduce the amount by modifying the form of the requested information to reduce the time - involved by using existing maps and by obtaining microfiche records of all county Murphy Deed from the state. OCTOBER 18, 1994 24 Approve the proposal and direct the chairman to execute the agreement on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners. - Alternative 2: Reject the proposal and direct staff to renegotiate the agreement. R EC 34MFI MAT ION AND FUNDING Staff recommends Alternative 1, finding to be from Account Number 111-244-541-033.19 which is to be carried over from 93/94 Fiscal Year. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved the Agreement for Professional Services with Atlantic Coastal Title Corporation in the amount of $20,000, as recommended by staff.

OCTOBER 18, 1994 26 HOBART PARK SOCCER COMPLEX _. The Board reviewed a Memorandum of October 7, 1994: TO: James -E. Chandler, County Administrator FROM: James W. Davis, P.E., Public Works Director 910�k SUBJECT: Request by Indian River Soccer Association for License Agreement to Develop a 15.6 Acre Soccer Complex on Designated Fairground Lease Parcels - Hobart Park REF. MEMO: Proposal by Indian River Soccer Association - Alan Campbell, Director DATE: October 7, 1994 FILE: sOCCER.AGN DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS During the September 22, 1994.meeting of the Parks and Recreation Committee, the Indian River Soccer Association submitted a request to use a 15.6 acre section of Hobart Park located west of the Fairgrounds area for a soccer field complex. The current Fairgrounds Master Plan includes four tracts in the western portion of the 160 acre site that are designated as follows: Minicar Lease Parcel 2.3 acres Leased Parcel 3.95 acres Leased Parcel 6.5 acres Staging area (west 2.&5 acres of 6.1 acres area) 2 85 acres 15.60 acres The above tracts -are currently unused except for occasional debris storage by the Road and Bridge Division. The Indian River Soccer Association has submitted the attached proposal request. Included with this proposal is a request to use the Fairground area and area north of the ballfields as interim facilities until permanent facilities are constructed. Staff and the Parks and Recreation Committee have considered the request and have no objections to a License Agreement being executed for use of the 15.6 acre area. It was the staff and committee's opinion that the proposal would be mutually beneficial for the following reasons: 1) The 800(+) youths and parents (1600+) visiting the*site will increase county awareness of the Fairground area. This 160 acre complex is currently under utilized most of the year. Increased usage may enable staff to promote the complex for other uses such as RV shows, boat shows, automobile shows, etc. A sign placed on the property indicating a phone number to call for reservations will also be beneficial. OCTOBER 18, 1994 27 � �a BOOK�3 f't1�;E BOOK 93 PAGE 536' 2) The Soccer Association will fund improvements and maintenance of the improved area. 3) Increase utilization will result in increased security for the area. 4) County operated concessions may be feasible. • iw� �� �� : • 'IN iP :jai,5-151 NTF7 It is recommended by the Parks and Recreation Committee and Public Works Department staff that a License Agreement be prepared between County and the Soccer Association for use of the .15.6 acre area. Since the other_ License Agreements in effect for the adjoining_ areas include a $200/annual License fee, staff would recommend that a similar fee be established. Commissioner Bird wanted to recognize the dedicated men and women involved in the soccer complex, which will be a great asset to the recreation program. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously approved the preparation of a License Agreement and directed County Attorney Vitunac to prepare same, as recommended by staff. LICENSE AGREEMENT WILL BE ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD WHEN EXECUTED AND RECEIVED CR -512 CORRIDOR Z ROVEMENTS/C.O. #1 - MARTIN PAVING The Board reviewed a Memorandum of October 10, 1994: OCTOBER 18, 1994 28 TO: James Chandler County Administrator THROUGH: James W.

Cain, P.E * 6 County Engineer SUBJECT: CR512 Corridor Improvements - IRC Project No. 8612 Change Order No. 1, Martin Paving Company DATE: October 10, 1994 This Change Order summarizes additional work items and changes made to the contract to date. The forcemain trench stabilization will be reimbursed by the utility department under terms of the Right of Way permit. The conflict structure is also reimbursable from the City of Sebastian in our opinion, and we have sent a request for payment to the city. The sodding increase was to stabilize off-site now onto the right of way. The sheet piling removal monitoring was a HRS requirement when it was discovered the concrete contained a small amount of asbestos. The M.E.S. (mitered end section) change was to correct the plan quantities. The net result is an increase in the contract of $7,696.12. The existing contract amount of $2,744,920.12 is increased to $2,752,616.24. Altemative No. 1 - Approve Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $ 7,696.12 and direct the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners to execute the change order on behalf of the Board. Alternative No. 2 - Reject the Change Order. Staff recommends Alternative No. 1 with finding from Account No. 101-153-541-067.38 for CR512 Corridor Improvements. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $7,696.12 to Martin Paving Company, as recommended by staff. CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD OCTOBER 18, 1994 29 BOOK 93 PAGE 539 BOOK PGTy REQUEST FOR "NO PARKING SIGNS" ON 16TH AVENUE The Board reviewed a letter of October 17, 1994: To' 17 g uG.JL *U_ LOW( All _,W d.. l _ �L �c_grt� cu�su.�d d�cJl�a V:vt� MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Macht, to approve the request from Edmund Cannon for "NO Parking Signs" on the County right-of-way on 16th Avenue between 2nd and 4th Streets. Edmund Cannon, 295 16th Avenue, expressed his belief that the first duty of local government -is the safety of its --citizens and asked that the Commission allow the posting of two "no parking" signs on. his street. Mr. Cannon thanked Public Works Director James W. Davis for his efforts. OCTOBER 18, 1994 30 M M Mr. Cannon explained that his -.objections do not refer to deliveries but to "extended time" parking. Commissioner Bird wondered how the Board can single out this 2 block area. He stressed that- lawn care maintenance workers usually have to park on the road temporarily. He believed that this would create a precedent and be more of a problem. Mr. Cannon commented that his plumber and lawn care people do not park on the street. Approximately 20 children live on their street and elderly people walk on the road. He.felt that parking on the street creates a hazard. They had a situation where an ambulance could not get to a home, and mailboxes are inaccessible. Commissioner Eggert felt that she could not recommend the signs. Director Davis advised that Florida Statutes prohibit parking in the through lane, and inquired whether it would set a precedent if Mr. Cannon wishes to fund the cost of the signage. He also noted that his department has many requests for signs and they try not to encourage proliferation. Commissioner Macht felt that charging the citizens for signs that remind people of existing laws would be wrong and that it should be at the County's expense. Mr. Cannon appreciated Commissioner Macht's remarks, but reiterated that he volunteered to pay for the signs. County Attorney Vitunac expressed his opinion that the signs would mislead people into believing they could park on the pavement. Charles Leger, 345 22nd Avenue, advised the Board that he works for the County Clerk's office but is on vacation at this time. He believed that the roads in Indian River Heights are not wide enough, especially with cars parking on the shoulder. However, he - has an 11 year.. old. son and all the kids are aware of the cars and the cars are aware of them. After a rain, drivers don't want to drive up on lawns. If the Board approves this, he believed it will set a dangerous precedent. He felt there are already too many signs telling us not to do this and not to do that. A number of months ago when there was a death in his family, many friends and relatives came to his house and the neighbors were very understanding about vehicles parked on the roadway and on the shoulder. He did not see why we need something like this. OCTOBER 18, 1994 31 BOOK PACE 54 - POOK icJ PAGE 542 Commissioner Eggert expressed her opinion that there is too much government and stated that she could not vote for the signs.

Public Works Director FROM: Terry B. Thompson, P.E. Capital Projects Manager SUBJECT: Force Main and Roadway Improvements - Oslo Road and Old Dixie Highway Change Order No. 1 DATE: October 12, 1994 FILE: OS-ODC01AGN DESCRIPTION AND -CONDITIONS The County recently obtained the right-of-way necessary to extend the Oslo Road widening project from 500 feet west of Old Dixie to Timber Ridge. The extension is approximately 1200 feet long and includes the construction of a 237 foot long five lane section, a 320 fbot long transition from five lanes to three lanes, and a 643 foot long three lane section that extends west to connect with the three lane section at Timber Ridge. Dickerson Florida, Inc is currently constructing the widening improvements on Oslo Road and Old Dixie Highway. Dickerson's bid amount for this project was $ 121,685.64 lower than the next bidder. Staff feels that issuing a change order to the current contract is the fastest and most cost effective means of extending the Oslo Road widening. The attached Change Order No. 1 is based on contract unit prices where applicable. The ' total price increase for additions to the contract is $189,911.58. Change Order No. 1 also includes ($53;272.14) in deductions to the contract. These decreases resulted from value engineering proposals submitted .by_ the Contractor. The net change in the contract amount is $136,639.44. This added to the current contract amount of $1,049,006 results in a new contract amount of $1,185,645.44. OCTOBER 18, 1994 32 ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The alternatives_are as follows: - Alternative No. 1 Approve Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $136,639.44. Alternative No. 2 Bid the construction of the extension at a latter date. This alternative would require an additional expenditure to prepare bidding documents. RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Staff recommends that the Board approve Alternative No. 1. Funding for the road construction in the amount of $811,941.72 is from Account 101-156-541-067.25.
