District Use Violation
Recommended Action: Request to Speak - No Action Required

Board of County Commissioners
Meeting Minutes - Final March 5, 2019
Attachments: Request to Speak Form
Spencer Simmons, 118 43rd Avenue, and Tim Campbell, 7330 37th Street,
appeared before the Board to protest a Code Enforcement ruling which allowed
a commercial business to operate in their Agriculture -zoned neighborhood.
Using a PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Simmons displayed images of the
buildings, commercial vehicles, and traffic at the subject property. He went on
to explain that the business, Caribbean Lawn and Landscaping, had been cited
for violating County code by erecting a building without a permit and violating
the zoning use of the property. The Code Enforcement Board ruling, however,
allowed the business to continue operation contingent upon the completion of a
planned commercial nursery.
Mr. Campbell spoke of his concern regarding the increased traffic, loss of
property value, and the precedence this would set to allow for similar
businesses to open in the area.
Chairman Solari requested clarification on the County code from Stan Boling,
Director of Community Development. Director Boling explained that
agricultural operations, such as commercial nurseries, receive protection under
the Right -to -Farm Act; this includes a preemption from pulling a building
permit, and the ability to run an accessory business on the land. A business
could be ruled as accessory, or subordinate, based on the percentage of the lot it
uses.
The Chairman expressed concern that this company was gaming the system by
using the wholesale nursery business as a gateway for the landscaping
operations. The other Commissioners expressed similar views, and cited
examples of companies that were in keeping with the intention of the code.
Roland DuBlois, Chief of Code Enforcement, recounted the facts and analysis
that led to the Code Enforcement Board's ruling.
The consensus of the Board was that while they could not interfere in this
ongoing case, they would like to consider modifications to the code that would
prevent misrepresentations or abuses of the zoning rules. The County
Administrator and staff were instructed to research modifications to the code
that would balance the needs of agriculture and commercial business.

Fellsmere Draft Interlocal Agreement
County Administrator Jason Brown referred to staffs memo which recounted the
history of the conflict between the City of Sebastian (the City) and Indian River
County (the County) regarding the City's establishment of an independent Fire
Marshal's Office, and the County's opposition to it. Because attempts to reach an
agreement between the parties had failed, the Board approved initiating the Florida
Governmental Conflict Resolution Act (Act) at their February 5, 2019 meeting.
Following passage of the Act, a conflict assessment meeting was held on February
26, 2019; Administrator Brown summarized the County's position as it was
presented at that meeting. In an effort to resolve the issue and avoid litigation,
Administrator Brown proposed creating an Interlocal Agreement similar to one
previously proposed to the City of Fellsmere, and discussed how it could be
modified to address the County's safety and liability concerns. He conceded that
though the preferred option was to keep the Emergency Services District intact, he
and staff were supportive of this solution; he went on to outline the proposed
agreement for the Board's consideration.
Discussion ensued among the Board with each Commissioner stating their views on
the issue and the proposed solution. Commissioner Zorc asked and received
answers from County Attorney Dylan Reingold and Emergency Services Director
Tad Stone regarding the division of responsibilities. Chairman Solari and
Commissioner O'Bryan each elaborated on his reasoning for opposing the Interlocal
Agreement. Vice Chairman Adams and Commissioner Flescher discussed their
rationale for supporting the Interlocal Agreement as a means to end the impasse
between the County and the City.

to approve staffs recommendation. The motion carried by the following vote:

commissioned a study to analyze the feasibility of installing a pressurized
re -use water line along the AIA corridor. Because the results of this study
were not expected until April 2019, Commissioner O'Bryan suggested pulling
the March 12, 2019 agenda item regarding John's Island Water Management's
(JIWM) plan to install a re -use pipeline in an alternate location, beneath the
Indian River Lagoon.
Chairman Solari agreed it would be in the County's best interest to consider the
results of the AIA study before moving forward with the JIWM project.
County Administrator Jason Brown advised that the study would most likely be
available for the April 23, 2019 Board meeting, though this was subject to
change. The consensus of the Board was to table the March 12, 2019 agenda
item until the County's contracted study could be reviewed.
Ruth Stanbridge, Indian River County Historical Society, appeared before the
Board to request a public hearing before allowing construction of the JIWM
pipeline. Chairman Solari advised that the issue would return on the agenda of
a regular Board meeting.
Commissioner O'Bryan raised the question of whether the County had the legal
right to grant an easement allowing JIWM access to the Indian River Lagoon.
The Chairman agreed to discuss the matter further with County Attorney Dylan
Reingold.
