500K 95 PACE 566
Concerned with the preparation of
a world class workforce, the Private
Industry Council has encouraged educa-
tional, vocational training, social services
and economic development reform by
bringing our communih, leaders togeth-
er in open forums to discuss needs,
locate resources and develop step-by-
step plans to deliver top quality services
to the citizens of our community.
Strong community partnerships are
the cornerstone for all Private
Industry Council programs and are
responsible for the success in consist-
ently exceeding performance stan-
dards during the 11 years that the
Private Industry Council has served
the Treasure Coast community.
1991 Inanal Reperl le 1hp Commmit!
BOOK 95 PACE 567
The performance standards, set by federal regulation, ensure that the Private
Industry Council matches the training and services required for each individual
to become a successful contributor to the local economy. Performance stan-
dards measure the quality of training and services provided to participants in
the Private Industry Council programs. Annually, all Private Industry Councils
are evaluated to determine if these standards are being met. The Treasure
Coast Private Industry Council exceeded all standards and greatly excelled in
six of the seven standards evaluated. For the past ten years, the PIC has
exceeded 96%n of all performance standards. The Private Industry Council will
receive $141,897 for meeting standards in Program Year '93/94. These funds
will be used to increase or improve local employment and training programs.
Commissioner Bird wished to give special recognition to Nan
Griggs, the entire staff, and all the members of the Council from
private industry who take a very in-depth interest in its goals.

DATE: June 19, 1995
SUBJECT: The Indian River Club's Request for Final Plat Approval
for Plat #1 (Phase I)
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of June 27, 1995.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
On December 17, 1991, the Board of County Commissioners granted
conceptual special exception approval for the Indian River Club
(formerly Indian River Country Club) development to construct a
residential golf course community on 295.64 acres within the Vero
Beach Highlands. Subsequently, the Planning and Zoning Commission
granted preliminary PD plan approval for Phase I. The Plat #1
(Phase I) final plat contains 37.43 acres.
3 BOOK 95 PAGE 568
JUNE 279 1995
BOOK 95 FACE 569
Phase I includes 57 single family lots at a density of 1.51 units
per acre, the golf course clubhouse tract, the maintenance building
tract, and conservation areas. The owner, Indian River Club, Ltd.
through its agent Masteller, Moler & Reed, Inc., is now requesting
final plat approval for Plat #1 (Phase I) and has submitted the
following:
1. A final plat in conformance with the approved preliminary
plat.
2. A certificate of completion for all required improvements
within the Plat #1 (Phase I) area.
3. A contract for construction for the remaining required
improvements with a letter of credit to guarantee
construction.
4. A warranty and maintenance agreement with a letter of credit
to secure the agreement.
ANALYSIS:
The majority of required improvements have been completed by the
developer and inspected by the public works and utilities
departments. The public works department has issued a certificate
of completion, indicating that all of the improvements that have
been completed are acceptable. There are several improvements
which are not complete, including a second layer of asphalt on the
internal project streets, pavement markings, and streetlights. The
public works department has approved a cost estimate for these
improvements and the attorney's office has approved the contract
for construction. With the exception of certain utility facilities
that will be dedicated to Indian River County, all improvements
within the Indian River Club will be private. Certain improvements
constructed in the public right-of-way such as turn lanes and
sidewalks are subject to a warranty and maintenance agreement. The
public works department has approved the cost estimate for 'these
items and the county attorney's office has approved the warranty
and maintenance agreement. Utilities improvements will be
warranted separately, via a Utilities Department bill of sale.
Therefore, all final plat requirements for Plat #1 (Phase I) have
been satisfied.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant final
plat approval for Plat #1 (Phase I) of the Indian River Club, and
authorize the chairman to sign the contract for construction and
warranty and maintenance agreement.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously granted
final plat approval to Indian River Club, Plat 11
(Phase I), and approved Contract for Construction of
Required Improvements, as recommended by staff.

DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has tentatively
reserved $28,850 of Federal Highway Safety (402) Funds for Indian
River County's use. These funds can be used by the County to

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT:
Knight, McGuire & Associates, Inc. has submitted an application for
concurrent preliminary PD plan/plat approval and conceptual special
PD approval to modify the Windsor conceptual PD. The preliminary
PD plan/plat is for a 3 lot subdivision for single family courtyard
homes, where "lots" are platted, lands lying underneath residential
buildings. The conceptual PD modification is to allow design
waivers, not covered by the original and approved conceptual PD
plan. These additional waivers are necessary to allow the proposed
courtyard home concept that is proposed on the submitted
preliminary PD plan.
The applicant is seeking to obtain conceptual PD plan approval
which would allow construction of platted courtyard homes within
the southerly and northerly Village areas on the west side of SR A-
1 -A and within the Windsor beach cottage/multi-family area east of
SR A -1-A. Please see attachment #4 which depicts where these
"courtyard" units would be allowed. If the request is granted, the
overall density and number of units for Windsor will not increase.
At its May 25, 1995 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission
voted unanimously to grant preliminary PD approval subject to Board
of County Commissioners approval of the special exception
conceptual PD plan modification and voted unanimously to recommend
that the Board of County Commissioners grant special exception PD
plan modification. The Board is now to approve, approve with
conditions, or deny the special exception use request. If the
request is approved, the preliminary PD plan approval will become
effective.
ANALYSIS:
1. Zoning Classifications: RS -3, Residential Single Family
District (up to 3 units per acre), and RM -3, Residential
Multi -Family District (up to 3 units per acre).
2. Land Use Designation: L-1, Low Density Residential (up to 3
units per acre)
3. Project Size: Conceptual Plan: 415.51 acres
Preliminary PD Plan: 0.15 acres
4. Density: 0.97 units/acre overall conceptual plan
The project's highest density area is located within the
project's "village" area. The total number of overall Windsor
project units (400 units) and density at the Windsor
development will not change if this application is approved.
Approval will allow small lots to be platted around unit types
already allowed to be constructed within Windsor.
5. Utilities: The existing development is served by public water
and wastewater, and will continue to be served by these
facilities. Utility Services has no objection to approval of
the proposed modifications and preliminary PD plan.
15
JUNE 279 1995
6. Traffic Circulation: The overall traffic ciFculation plan
will remain the same. The traffic engineering department has
reviewed and approved details for access to the courtyard
homes contained within the proposed preliminary PD plan.
7. Parking: All residential units at Windsor will be able to
accommodate two vehicles, in garages and within other private
parking areas. Therefore, county parking requirements are
satisfied.
8. Stormwater Management: The overall conceptual stormwater
management plan will remain the same, and the proposed PD
modification will not alter or affect the master stormwater
system. Public Works has no objections to approval of the
proposed modifications and preliminary PD plan.
9. Environmental Issues: There are no environmental issues
related to this proposal. All environmental issues have been
addressed with previous conceptual plan approval conditions,
and those conditions will remain in effect.
10. Required Improvements: Given the project's location, the
following improvements are required:
• A 5' wide sidewalk on the east side of SR A -1-A. The
developer has been bonding -out this improvement in
segments along with the preliminary PD approvals for
development phases on the east side of SR A -1-A.
• An 8' wide bike path on the west side of SR A -1-A.
Pursuant to LDR provisions, the applicant will be
transferring the responsibility to the county for this
improvement with a developer's agreement.
Thus, the developer is complying with all county sidewalk and
bikeway requirements.
11. New and Modified Design Waivers: The following are the new
and modified design waivers proposed with the conceptual plan
modification:
a. To reduce the currently allowable minimum lot size within
Windsor's village and beach cottage/multi-family areas
from 3,200 square feet to 1,000 square feet.
Note: the small lot sizes represent lots covering
building area only.
b. To allow 0% open space on the individual small lots,
while meeting or exceeding the overall 40% green area
required on a project -wide basis.
C. To allow detached accessory structures (garages) to be
constructed on a non-contiguous portion of a lot. The
accessory structure and non-contiguous portions of the
lot would be unified in title via the final plat or other
legally binding instrument.
Staff has no objection to the proposed design waivers, since
these waivers represent changes in private lot area only, and
will not change project density or allowable unit types.
16
JUNE 279 1995 Boa 95 PAGE 582
r
600K 95 PAGE 583
12. Compatibility: The developer is proposing that the requested
design waivers be applied to the village lots on the west side
of SR A -1-A and the undeveloped portion of the project east of
SR A -1-A (the beach cottage/multi-family area). It is staff's
opinion that the request is compatible based upon multi -family
uses and unit types presently allowed in these areas and that
effective, overall project buffering has already been provided
and will not be altered with this request.
The conceptual plan will control the density throughout the
project and on individual blocks. The applicant will not be
allowed to exceed the current project density via this
request. The application of the courtyard home product will
be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on a phase
by phase basis within the project through the preliminary PD
plan/plat process..
13. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:
North: Ocean Way Subdivision, Grove/RS-3, RM -3, A-1
South: Town of Orchid, Residences/Residential, RS -3
East: Atlantic Ocean/N/A
West: Indian River/N/A
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Board of
County Commissioners grant special exception PD approval for the
overall .Windsor PD modifications, subject to the following
condition.-
1.
ondition:
1. That the courtyard homes shall be limited to the Village areas
and the undeveloped portion of the project east of SR A -1-A
(beach cottages/multi-family area).
Chairman Macht 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 approved
Windsor Properties' request for Conceptual Plan
Modification subject to the conditions outlined in
staff's recommendation.

DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
Mosby & Associates, Inc., on behalf of The Jungle Club, has
submitted an application for minor site plan approval and special
exception use approval to construct a 8,750 square foot building
addition on the site of the existing facility, located at 1060 6th
Avenue. The addition consists of a sloped -roof metal building,
having an average height of 321, which will house a basketball gym
and aerobics exercise areas. The subject site is located in the
RM -10 zoning district.
The Jungle Club is a private multi-purpose recreational facility
open only to members and their guests for a membership fee. The
facility offers its membership use of a clubhouse, pool, fitness
center, tennis, and other recreational and club activities. As
such, the use is considered to be a country club. Since country
clubs are special exception uses in the RM -10 zoning district,
special exception use approval must be granted by the county for
the proposed expansion.
The Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled to consider the
subject special exception use request at its regular meeting date
of June 22, 1995. To accommodate the applicant's needs to have the
request considered in a timely manner, staff has scheduled this
application to be heard soon after the Planning and Zoning
Commission hearing on this request. Staff will report on the
Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation at the June 27th
Board meeting.
The Board of County Commissioners is now to approve, approve with
conditions, or deny the.special exception use request. Pursuant to
section 971.05 of the land development regulations (LDRs), the
Board of County Commissioners is to consider the appropriateness of
the request for the subject property and the surrounding areas.
The Board may deny or grant approval and attach any conditions and
safeguards deemed appropriate to mitigate impacts and to ensure
compatibility of the use with the surrounding area.
Staff have reviewed the submitted proposal and have granted minor
site plan approval subject to the granting of special exception use
approval. Therefore, the minor site plan approval will become
effective when the Board of County Commissioners grants special
exception approval.
ANALYSIS:
1. Zoning Classification: RM -10, Residential Multi -Family (up to
10 units per acre)
2. Land Use Designation: M-2, Medium Density (up to 10 units per
acre)
3. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:
North:_ Residential/RM-10
South: Residential/RM-10
East: Vacant,. Indian River Boulevard/RM-10
West: Residential/RM-10
19
JUNE 279 1995
4. Total Site Area: 9.8 acres
5. Area of Development: 0.48 acres or 21,100 sq. ft.
6. Building Area: 81750 sq. ft. single story building
approximately 32' high
The proposed building elevations submitted with the site
demonstrate that the sloped roof building will not exceed the
35' maximum permitted building height defined in the land
development regulations.
7. Impervious Surface: Existing: 5,466 sq. ft.
Proposed: 10,050 sq. ft.
Net Increase: 4,584 sq. ft.
8. Open Space: Required: 30.0%
Proposed: 52.4%
9. Off -Street Parking: Required: 89 spaces
Provided: 91 spaces
The parking demand for a country club is provided at a ratio
of one space per 300 square feet of building area, plus the'
required number of parking spaces for each associated
structure or use on the site, such as swimming pools and
tennis courts. The submitted site plan demonstrates that the
existing number of parking spaces on the overall site
satisfies the total required number of parking spaces for the
existing facility and the proposed addition. Therefore, no
additional parking is required or proposed.
10. Traffic Circulation: The county traffic engineer has accepted
and approved the submitted traffic statement analysis of the
impact that the proposed addition is anticipated to have on
adjacent roadways.. Based on that analysis, no off-site
traffic improvements are required for approval of the proposed
site plan. Since no off-site improvements or additional
parking areas - are required, no changes to the existing
internal traffic circulation plan are required or proposed.
The county traffic engineer has no objections to approval of
the submitted site plan and the special exception usae recruiest.
11. Stormwater Management: The stormwater management plan has
been approved by the public works department, and a Type "B"
stormwater permit will be issued.
12. Utilities: The site is currently serviced by county water and
wastewater systems. The utilities department and the county
Environmental Health Unit (HRS) have no objections to approval
of the submitted site plan and the special exception use
request.
13. Environmental Issues: Several protected trees, approximately
15 oaks, will be impacted by the building addition. County
land development regulations permit the removal of protected
trees within the footprint of proposed buildings. Therefore,
the LDRs allow removal of the trees. Environmental planning
staff will monitor clearing activities on the site to try to
ensure that as many protected trees as possible can be
preserved or relocated.

14. Landscape Plan and Buffering: The landscape plan is in
accordance with Chapter 926 for the general landscaping
requirements for site plan development. Furthermore, the
prescribed Type "C" landscape buffering requirement set forth
in the specific land use criteria (see item #16) for country
clubs has been satisfied by the landscape plan. This buffer
will be installed along a 270' segment of the northern
property line, to buffer the residential units located north
of the addition. There are no other areas where the addition
will be visually exposed to other adjacent residential areas.
Therefore, no other buffering is required.
Note The addition, which is oriented at an angle to the
northern property line, is to be located 42' - 52' from the
northern property line.
15. Dedications and Improvements: No additional right-of-way is
required along the site's 6th Avenue frontage. No other
dedications or improvements (sidewalks, bikeways or
streetlighting) associated with the submitted site plan are
required of along the site's 6th Avenue. Therefore, all
required dedications and improvements are satisfied by the
submitted site plan.
16. Specific Land Use Criteria: The application will satisfy all
applicable criteria for a country club. The country club
specific land use criteria are as follows:
a. Such facilities may include restaurants with alcoholic
beverage licenses provided that no such establishment is
located within on thousand (1,000) feet of the front door
of any church and all property lines of any school. In
addition, such establishments shall not be open to the
general public;
b. No principal or accessory building shall be located
closer than forty-five (45) feet to any street line or
closer than one hundred (100) fee to any lot line which
abuts a single-family zoning district. However,
buildings associated with specific uses, such as golf
courses and tennis facilities, may be located as allowed
by other specific land use criteria that are applicable
to that use;
C. No off-street parking or loading area shall be located
closer than, twenty- five (25) feet to any residentially
designated property;
d. Where such uses involve golf courses, tennis courts,
marinas or any other recreational uses for which
standards are set forth in section 971.40, the proposed
use shall also be subject to such standards and
procedures, unless a waiver is granted by the decision
making body because the standards are not applicable to
the type or intensity of use proposed.
e. All multipurpose recreational clubs authorized herein
shall be located either adjacent to a major thoroughfare
or located within a project which is adjacent to a major
thoroughfare;
f. All outdoor lighting shall be adequately shielded in
order to prevent reflection onto adjacent properties;
21
JUNE 279 1995
9•
A landscaped buff eryard with Type "C" screening, shall be
required adjacent to all residentially designated land.
Staff has verified that the site plan application satisfies
all criteria applicable to the proposed site plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the analysis performed, staff recommends that the Board of
County Commissioners grant special exception use approval for the
requested expansion.
Chairman Macht announced that a letter had been received from
James Steffey, owner of property at 1166 6th Avenue, objecting to
the additional building at Jungle Club.
Chairman Macht 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 Bird, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved
The Jungle Club's request for Special Exception Use
approval to expand an existing country club
facility, as recommended by staff.

RE: Paul Freeman, Trustee, Request to Rezone Approximately
68.8 acres from A-1 to RS -3 (RZON 94-11-0133)
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular
meeting of June 27, 1995.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
This is a request to rezone approximately 68.8 acres located at the
southeast corner of 1st Street, S.W. and 58th Avenue. The request
involves rezoning the property, owned by Paul Freeman, Trustee,
from A-1, Agricultural District (up to 1 unit/5 acres), to RS -3,
Single -Family Residential District (up to 3 units/acre). The
purpose of the request is to secure the necessary zoning to develop
the site as a subdivision of single-family residences.
On May 25, 1995, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to
recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve this
request to rezone.the subject property to RS -3.
Existinq Land Use Pattern
Bordered on all sides by citrus groves, the subject property and
properties to the north, south, and west are zoned A-1, while land -
to the east is zoned RS -3. The eastern portion of the subject
property consists of a citrus grove, while the western portion
consists of rangeland.
Future Land Use Pattern
The subject property and properties to the north, south, and east
are designated L-1, Low -Density Residential -1, on the county future
land use map. The L-1 designation is intended for residential uses
with densities up to 3 units/acre. West of the site, across 58th
Avenue, land is designated AG -1, Agricultural -1, on the county
future land use map. The AG -1 designation is intended for
agricultural uses and residential uses with densities up to 1
unit/5 acres.

Environment
While the site contains no native upland plant communities, it may
contain disturbed jurisdictional wetlands. The eastern half of the
subject property is currently a citrus grove, while the western
half consists of rangeland. 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 the site from the South County Reverse Osmosis
Plant. Currently, wastewater lines do not extend to the site.
Transportation System
The property is bordered by 58th Avenue which is classified as an
urban principal arterial road on the future roadway thoroughfare
plan map. Currently a two-lane paved road with approximately 60
feet of public road right-of-way, this segment of 58th Avenue is
programmed for expansion to 80 feet of public road right-of-way by
2010. A project to pave the shoulders and widen the lanes of this
segment of 58th Avenue is currently underway.
Additionally, the site abuts 1st Street, S.W. Classified as a
collector road on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map, this
segment of 1st Street, S.W., is a two-lane unpaved road with
approximately 60 feet of public road right-of-way.
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.
KNE 27, 1995 24 80®K 95 PAGE 590
BooK 95 FACE 591
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.
The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as
follows:
1. Size of Area to be Rezoned:
2. Existing Zoning Classification:
3. Proposed Zoning Classification:
4. Most Intense Use of Subject
Property under Existing

RS -3, Single -Family
Residential District (up
to 3 units/acre)
13 units
206 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 43rd Avenue would not be lowered. The
site information used for determining the amount of traffic is as
follows:

(206 X 10.1 = 2,081)
6. Traffic Capacity on this segment of 43rd Avenue, at a Level of
Service "D": 690 peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips
7. Existing Traffic volume on this segment of 43rd Avenue: 424
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 131. This was determined by multiplying the 13 units
(most intense use) by ITE's single-family residential factor of
10.1 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 21081. This was determined by multiplying the 206
units (most intense use), by ITE's single-family residential factor
of 10.1 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 43rd Avenue is
southbound.
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 5. This was determined by multiplying the total
number of units allowed under the existing zoning district (13) 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% (9) will be
JUNE 27, 1995 26 BOOK 95 PACE592
500K 95 PAGE 593
inbound and 358 (4) will be outbound. Of the inbound trips, 588 or
5 will be southbound.
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 (206) was
multiplied by ITE's factor of 1.01 p.m. peak hour trips/unit to
determine the total number of trips generated (208). Of these
trips, 658 (135 ) will be inbound and 358 ( 73 ) will be outbound. Of
the inbound trips, 588 or 78 will be southbound.- Therefore, the
most intense use of the subject property under the proposed zoning
district would generate 73 (78 - 5 = 73) more peak hour/peak
season/peak direction trips than the 5 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 (58) 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 43rd Avenue adjacent to
this site is 690 trips (peak hour/peak season/peak direction) at
Level of Service (LOS) "D", while the existing traffic volume on
this segment of 43rd Avenue is 424 trips (peak hour/peak season/
peak direction). The additional 78 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 43rd Avenue to approximately 502.
Based on the above analysis, staff determined that 43rd Avenue 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.

Water
The subject property is serviced by the South County Water Plant.
With the most intense use allowed under the proposed rezoning, the
subject property will have a water consumption rate of 206
Equivalent Residential Units (ERU), or 51,500 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 2,250,000 gallons/day, the plant can
accommodate the additional demand generated by the most intense use
allowed under the proposed zoning.
- Wastewater
The site is within the urban service area; however, wastewater
lines do not extend to the site at this time. County LDRs require
the developer 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 South County Wastewater Treatment 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 206 Equivalent Residential Units
(ERU), or 51,500 gallons/day. This is based upon the level of
service standard of 250 gallons/ERU/day. The South County
Wastewater Treatment Plant currently has a remaining capacity of
more than 1,110,000 gallons/day and can accommodate the additional
wastewater generated by the proposed rezoning.
- Solid Waste
Solid waste service includes pick-up by private operators and
disposal at the county landfill. The county's adopted level of
service standard for landfill capacity is 2.37 cubic yards/person/
year. With the county's average of approximately 2.3 persons/unit,
a 206 unit residential development would be anticipated to house
approximately 474 people (2.3 X 206). For the subject request to
meet the county's adopted level of service standard of 2.37 cubic
yards/person/year, the landfill, must have enough capacity to
accommodate approximately 1,124 (474 X 2.37) 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 the analysis, staff determined that the county landfill
JUNE 279 1995 30
BOOK 95 PAGE 596
Book 95 FAGS 59`
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." Additionally, section 930.07(2) of the county's
LDRs requires that all residential development shall have the
lowest floor (including basement) elevated to six inches or more
above the base flood level. Since the subject property lies within
Flood Zone AE -221 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 22.5
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
11798,156 square feet, or 41.3 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 1,977,972 cubic feet. In order to maintain
the county's adopted level of service, the applicant will be
required to retain approximately 11478,484 cubic feet of runoff on-
site. With the soil characteristics of the subject property,.it is
estimated that the pre -development runoff rate is 110.5 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 11478,484 cubic feet of runoff for the -
most intense use of the property, and requiring that all finished
floor elevations exceed 22.5 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.
31
JUNE 27, 1995
Based upon the analysis conducted, staff has determined that all
concurrency -mandated facilities, including drainage, roads, solid
waste, recreation, water, and wastewater have adequate capacity to
accommodate the most intense use of the subject property under the
proposed zoning. Therefore, the concurrency test has been
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 are Future Land Use Element Policies 1.11 and 1.12.
- Future Land Use Element Policies 1.11 and 1.12
Future Land Use Element Policy 1.12 states that the L-1, Low -
Density Residential -1, land use designation is intended for
residential uses with densities up to 3 units/acre. In addition,
Future Land Use Element Policy 1.11 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 3 units/acre, the
proposed request is consistent with Policies 1.11 and 1.12.
While policies 1.11 and 1.12 are 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.

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

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 are Future Land Use Element Policies 1.11 and 1.12.
- Future Land Use Element Policies 1.11 and 1.12
Future Land Use Element Policy 1.12 states that the L-1, Low -
Density Residential -1, land use designation is intended for
residential uses with densities up to 3 units/acre. In addition,
Future Land Use Element Policy 1.11 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 3 units/acre, the
proposed request is consistent with Policies 1.11 and 1.12.
While policies 1.11 and 1.12 are 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 east 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
3 units/acre.
Any potential incompatibilities associated with residential
development on the subject property would be with the adjacent
areas that are currently used for agricultural purposes. These
incompatibilities, however, will be somewhat mitigated since the
subject site is large enough to buffer itself from adjacent
agricultural uses as required in section 911.04(3)(c)5b of the
county LDRs. That section states that where residential projects
in areas zoned for more than one unit/acre are adjacent to active
agricultural operations, the residential project must provide one
of the following:
• A 50 foot building (residence) setback; or
• A 25 foot buffer yard with a type "B" buffer and a six-foot
opaque feature.
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 on site. That survey would
have to be approved by the county's environmental planning staff.
Any jurisdictional wetlands determined to
are protected by federal, state, and county
native upland plant communities exist on

be located on the parcel
regulations. Since no

apply to the subject
M M M
property. 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. For these reasons, staff supports the request.
Recommendation
Based on the analysis, staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve this
request to rezone the subject property from A-1 to RS -3.
Commissioner Bird asked if they will get access to both the
paved road and the unpaved road, and Community Development Director
Robert Keating explained that in this case they will not be
accessing Kings Highway because Kings Highway is a principal
arterial. They are proposing to pave 1st Street SW, and there will
be major improvements at that intersection.

Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously adopted
Ordinance 95-13, rezoning approx. 68.8 acres from

regular meeting of June 27, 1995.
Un
JUNE 27, 1995
SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners
purchase the Wabasso Scrub property with land acquisition
bond funds. The proposed purchase contract (already
executed by the seller) is summarized as follows:
Purchaser: Indian River County Board of County
Commissioners / Florida Communities Trust
(Indian River County will hold title)
Seller: Helen E. Bahl and Jane E. Collin
Cost Share: Florida Communities Trust (50%)
Total Price: $1,150,000 (±$10,360 per acre value)
Other Costs: +$28,000 (appraisals, survey upgrade, environ.
audit, title insurance, management plan)
Acreage: +111 Acres
Principal Conditions:
Closing subject to County Commission and FCT Governing
Body approval of purchase contract and project plan,
including management plan.
• Removal of trash and debris by land owner in cooperation
with Indian River County required prior to closing.
The Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (LAAC) considered this
proposed acquisition at a special meeting on June 22, 1995. Since
this staff report was prepared prior to the LAAC meeting, the
Committee's action could not be reported in this staff report.
Staff, however, will report LAAC's recommendation to the Board at
the June 27, 1995 Board meeting.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
The subject Wabasso Scrub property has been on the LAAC site list
since 1993, identified for acquisition under the County's $26
million environmental lands acquisition bond program. The property
wac listed as a replacement of a previous LAAC site known as
"Winter Beach Scrub", due to the land owners' willingness to sell
only one of the two project sites. The Wabasso Scrub site has
superior scrub jay habitat and was therefore selected for the LAAC
site list in lieu of the Winter Beach Scrub.
Located on the northwest corner of 58th Avenue (Kings Highway) and
C.R. 510, the subject property is approximately 111 acres in size,
consisting of approximately 54 acres of sand pine scrub, 42 acres
of pine flatwoods, and 15 acres of fresh water wetlands.
Approximately 34 acres of the property's scrub have been identified
by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) as occupied territory
of the federally threatened Florida scrub jay. FWS considers this
property to be one of the "core" scrub jay territories in the
county critical to the long term survival of the county's scrub jay
population. Moreover, the site -contains mature sand pine scrub
that, if properly managed, could expand the area of scrub jay
habitat on the property. Other rare listed species documented or
expected to occur on site include the gopher tortoise, eastern
indigo snake, and gopher frog. Overall, the scrub native plant
community is recognized as endangered regionally and statewide.

NOW.. 95 esu 60
During the past year, the county's acquisition consultant (in
coordination with county staff) has been actively negotiating the
purchase of the Wabasso Scrub. Since the seller(s) recently
accepted and executed a purchase contract Option Agreement -for the
property, appraisal results, purchase offers and other confidential
information can now be released.
•Ownership Characteristics
Currently, the subject property is owned by Helen E. Bahl and Jane
E. Collin, each of whom was separately represented in the course of
negotiations. Public records indicate that the .subject property
was purchased by the owners' principals for $1,134,800 in April,
1986..
The sellers' have expressed a charitable willingness to convey the
property to the County at the negotiated purchase price in the
interest of assisting the County in its conservation efforts, and
for the protection of scrub habitat resources for future
generations.
To facilitate public purchase of the property, the sellers agreed
to pay for a boundary survey of the property, which has since been
upgraded to meet Division of State Lands (DSL) technical
requirements.
•Acquisition Cost -Share & Property Management
Two issues which are important to LAAC staff with respect to all
proposed purchases are obtaining cost share assistance in property
acquisition and addressing management costs.
Cost -Share
In 1993, Indian River County submitted an application to the FCT,
which was subsequently approved for 50% cost -share funding,
including 50% of pre-acquisition expenditures (e.g., survey,
environmental audit, appraisals). The estimated purchase cost in
the application was $914,000, based roughly on assessed value,
without benefit of subsequent appraisals. For this reason, the FCT
has allocated $457,000 for purchase cost.
County staff, however, has requested and FCT staff has agreed to
recommend that the FCT Governing Body adjust its match upward
$118,000 to reflect 50% of the negotiated $1,150,000 purchase
price. Therefore, the county's share of the site's purchase cost
is expected to be $575,000 plus approximately $14,000 in pre-
acquisition task costs.
Management Costs
Besides cost share, management cost is always an issue with
environmental lands acquisition. The FCT program, which is highly
competitive state-wide, awards points for projects based on the
provision of resource-based public access and use facilities. In
order to qualify for FCT cost -share funding, the County obligated
itself in its FCT application to provide limited access and
resource-based facilities on the subject property.
39
JUNE 279 1995
M M
Specifically, conditions of the Conceptual Approval Agreement
include County provision of a limited parking area, nature trial,
picnic area, wetland boardwalk, and informational display. The
County is also obligated in the FCT Agreement to remove invasive
exotic vegetation, as applicable, and implement a resource
management plan in coordination with forestry and wildlife
agencies.
A number of initial site improvements, including fencing, exotic
plant removal, and resource management (e.g., prescribed burn) can
be paid for with bond referendum funds as part of the property
acquisition. Improvements such as limited parking access will need
to be funded by a source other than referendum monies. Potential
funding sources include park development grants, county mitigation
funds, and tree removal violation funds. Relating to long term
management, the property will be incorporated into the county -wide
park system and managed by the County Parks Division in
coordination with county environmental planning staff. Volunteer
groups will be asked to assist the County with certain aspects of
property management such as nature trail up -keep,' Brazilian pepper
control, and litter patrol.
County staff have opted to have a management plan for the project
drafted by the county's acquisition/management consultants, an
option which is specified in the County's contract with
FloridAffinity, Inc. Attached is a draft management plan for the
Wabasso Scrub property, completed by the consultants.
•Appraisals
In accordance with County Land Acquisition Guide and FCT
procedures, two independent appraisals were obtained to determine
an approved appraised value. The two appraisal firms selected were
Armfield-Wagner Appraisal & Research, Inc., and Real Property
Analysts, Inc. The appraisals were subsequently certified by a
review appraiser (Boyle Appraisal Service), as required by the FCT.
[These appraisals are available for inspection on file at the
county planning division's office.]
The appraised values are summarized as follows.
WABASSO APPRAISALS
APPRAISER VALDE % DIVERGENCE APPROVED APPR. VALDE
Armfield-Wagner $1,200,000 - -
RPA, Inc. $1,280,000 6.6 $ -
$1,280,000
The negotiated purchase price of $1,150,000 is 90% of the approved
appraised value.
*Contract
In coming to terms with county staff on the negotiated purchase
price (subject to County Commission and FCT approval), the
seller(s) have executed a standard FCT purchase contract Option
Agreement with minor modifications. A copy of that contract is
attached to this staff report.

ANALYSIS )
eNultiple Benefits
• Environmental Learning Center
As with most of the County's proposed acquisitions, the Wabasso
Scrub property purchase will enhance education in the County. With
Wabasso Scrub, the educational function will be provided by the
Environmental Learning Center (ELC).
Located only ±2 miles from the Environmental Learning Center, the
Wabasso Scrub property complements the natural resources existing
around the ELC site. While the ELC currently has access to
estuarine wetlands and the Indian River Lagoon, the Wabasso Scrub
site contains endangered upland scrub as well as fresh water
wetlands. With the County's proposed improvements, the Wabasso
Scrub site will be accessible for the ELC.
As proposed, the ELC will regularly use the Wabasso Scrub property
for guided field trips as part of its on-going programs to educate
county children and adults on the benefits of protecting endangered
natural resources. In this way, acquisition of the property will
provide educational benefits to Indian River County residents.
• Riwanis-Hobart LWCF Conversion
In 1976, the Winter Beach Cemetery Association, a non-profit
corporation, asked the Board of County Commissioners for
approximately 19 acres of Riwanis-Hobart Park for cemetery
expansion. The Board, on August 27, 1980, formally dedicated the
acreage to the cemetery association. However, that dedication was
voided since a portion of Riwanis-Hobart Park was originally
acquired with federal Land and Water Conservation Funds (LWCF), and
the park was placed under a deed restriction under the authority of
the Florida Department of Natural Resources (now DEP) and the
National Parks Service (NPS).
In order to release the 19 acres -to the Winter Beach Cemetery, a
land conversion is required, whereby the County could deed a portion
of the Riwanis-Hobart Park to the cemetery association if a non -
recreational property is converted to recreational property of
equal value. Over the years since 1980, the County has
unsuccessfully offered conversion sites for the State's approval;
none of these sites were accepted as having comparable
characteristics. However, in coordination with State staff, it now
appears that the Wabasso Scrub site has characteristics that will
be accepted by the State and NPS as sufficient for a conversion. As
such, the Wabasso Scrub purchase will help resolve the Winter Beach
Cemetery expansion issue which has been outstanding for many years.
• County Road Projects Scrub Mitigation
Like other County acquisitions, the Wabasso Scrub property purchase
provides multiple benefits. In this case, as with all
acquisitions, staff is exploring the potential of obtaining
mitigation credit from the land to be purchased, restored, and
managed by the County.
With Wabasso Scrub, staff has been negotiating with the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (FWS) to credit the land purchase, restoration
and management as mitigation for impacts which will occur with
construction of the west bound leg of the C.R. 512 roadway project
in Sebastian. As designed, that project will impact +2 acres of
xeric scrub habitat. Because the impacted area supports a
41
JUNE 279 1995
M M r
population of scrub jays, FWS has prohibited roadway construction
until adequate mitigation is provided for the area to be impacted.
Staff feels that preserving and managing the Wabasso Scrub site
should constitute sufficient mitigation for the C.R. 512 project.
As of this time,, staff has been unsuccessful in obtaining FWS's
approval for using the Wabasso Scrub site as mitigation for C.R.
512 impacts. Staff, however, will continue to pursue that
possibility. Once the purchase is approved and the acquisition is
assured, staff feels that FWS may agree to staff's mitigation
proposal. In that case, the Wabasso Scrub property purchase will
provide another benefit to the County and its residents.
Comprehensive Plan Scrub Acquisition Commitment
Conservation Policy 6.2 of the County Comprehensive Plan commits
the County to acquire a minimum of 50 acres of xeric scrub
vegetative community for conservation purposes. The Wabasso Scrub
purchase will satisfy this minimum acreage by resulting in a county
acquisition of +54 acres of scrub plant community, +34 acres of
which is occupied scrub jay territory.
*Project Plan
To satisfy the FCT Conceptual Approval Agreement for cost -share
funding, the County is required to submit a "project plan". In
addition to an executed purchase agreement and approved management
plan, a "project plan" includes:
- Statement of total cost
- Statement of award amount requested from FCT
- Statement the project plan is consistent with
local comprehensive plan
- Evidence that conditions imposed as part of the
Conceptual Approval Agreement are satisfied
- Affidavit that there is no existing or pending violation
of any local, state, regional or federal laws or
regulations on the project site
The Wabasso scrub project as proposed is consistent with the
County's Comprehensive Plan. Also, the seller is required to
resolve any potential code violations (e.g., trash and debris)
prior to closing. Documents of the project plan listed above -
aside from Board approval of the purchase agreement and management
plan) - can be handled administratively and will be provided to FCT
by county staff upon Board approval of the acquisition.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the
proposed Wabasso Scrub property purchase contract Option Agreement
and the attached management plan. Staff also recommends that the
Board authorize staff to submit a Project Plan to the FCT to
fulfill requirements of the FCT cost -share Conceptual Approval
Agreement.

Community Development Director Robert Keating advised that
State Statutes place certain requirements on County acquisition of
Florida land. The County has followed all of the procedures set
out in the acquisition guide and has properly advertised this
public hearing on a FCT purchase contract Option Agreement. This
will be the first of two times that the Board will consider this
property. This hearing, essentially, is to agree with and execute
the option contract and bind the purchaser with respect to selling
this property so that the County can go forward with the FCT
process. He introduced Charles Hardee, negotiator for the trust
funds.
Roland DeBlois, Chief of Environmental Planning, reported that
at the special LAAC meeting of June 22, 1995, the Committee voted
12-1 to recommend the purchase of this property. County staff
opted to have a management plan for the project drafted by the
County's acquisition/management consultants, an option which is
specified in the County's contract with FloridaAffinity, Inc.
Mr. DeBlois advised that costs for the management plan have
been revised since the draft was reviewed:

B. Funding Sources
Four sources of funding have been identified for management and development of the
Conservation Area. Funding from the Indian River County Environmental Lands Acquisition
bond program may be used to provide for property security and priority resource management
improvements and activities. County mitigation accounts for upland and wetland enhancement
projects may also be applied to this project. Funding from the County Land Clearing and Tree
Removal Violations accounts are a third source of funds for resource management activities.
Operations, staffing and development funds will come from the County Parks Division budget.
A potential fifth source of funds may be developed through donations of cash, materials or
labor from individuals or businesses in the local area. County staff and the Conservation Area's
network of volunteers and. support groups should consider donation fund raising activities as
part of their initial efforts.

Mr. DeBlois pointed out several benefits of this purchase that
wouldn't be apparent up front, such as getting credit for the
Kiwanis-Hobart LWCF conversion and satisfying Comp Plan commitments
to buy certain acres of certain types of habitats, etc.
Commissioner Adams felt that if we are purchasing this
property with taxpayers money, we need to provide public access,
and she hoped that would be put on the front burner as soon as
possible. Further, she didn't want to see any part of Kiwanis-
Hobart Park traded off for anything.
Commissioner Bird suggested that at some appropriate time
Commissioner Adams receive a briefing on the history of the whole
concept of the Kiwanis-Hobart Park/Winter Beach Cemetery
conversion.
Commissioner Tippin supported the purchase of this property,
but was very concerned about the long-term expense for management
and maintenance because when we finish purchasing the LAAC lands,
we are going to have a lot of property open to the public. He was
concerned about people being shocked when they see this property
set afire to enhance the scrub habitat, and Director Keating
explained that a notification procedure was included in the
management plan.
Chairman Macht opened the Public Hearing and asked*if anyone
wished to be heard in this matter.
Toni Robinson, Treasure Cove Lane, felt that the purchase of
this property would be entirely in keeping with what the people
voted on in the referendum. She stressed that volunteer labor is
a very viable solution for lowering maintenance/management costs.
Jim Grainse, Pine Arbor Lane, opposed the purchase of this
property and questioned whether sufficient advertising -had been
placed for this public hearing. As a member of LAAC for a little
longer than two years, he recalled that at the first meeting he
attended, Robert Burnett indicated there was another piece of
property that the Committee might be interested in. That property
was owned by the Ecclestone daughters from John's Island. It was
known as Property #1 and was south of the property we are talking
about today, but he heard nothing else of that property following
that meeting. Mr. Granse felt that certain figures must have
changed since talking with Mr. DeBlois last Thursday evening. In
reading the proposed management plan, he was surprised to find that
the Proposed Improvements will include a 4" hogwire field fence,
etc.

SECTION III STRUCTURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
A. FAsting Improvements
A locked chain link gate at the northwest corner of the property on 58th. Avenue is the single
existing site improvement at this time. Chain link fencing installed by the John's Island Club
West golf course runs along the property line shared with that property. The remainder of the
Property is not fenced. This has allowed unauthorized dumping to occur over time, leaving
several locations of debris along unimproved "woods roads" and along the east and west
boundaries with adjacent residences.
B. Proposed Improvements
Resource management activities at Wabasso Scrub Conservation will require site improvements
to secure the site from unauthorized dumping activities, introduction or reintroduction of
nuisance exotic plants and feral animals, and fire protection. These improvements will include
fencing the property boundary with 4' hogwire field fence, and the clearing and maintenance
of a firebreak 12' to 15' in width at the perimeter inside the fence. These improvements will
receive priority in County funding for operation of the Conservation Area. They should be
accomplished within three to six months after purchase of the property.
Where possible, the firebreak will incorporate existing woods roads. (See Figure _.) The
preliminary estimate of clearing required to develop this feature is 1.78 acres. The firebreak will
double as a vehicular access lane for patrols of the Conservation Area, and for access around
the site during prescribed bum events.
The location of fencing and firebreak clearing will be adjusted on site to avoid impacts on listed
plant or animal species, with the review and assistance of GFC staff. The location of the
firebreak will be adjusted as necessary so that no unreasonable physical or visual impacts occur
to neighboring properties as a result of that clearing.
Physical improvements to allow safe public access and use of the Conservation Area will be
necessary in the future. In view of the primary and secondary purposes of the project, discussed
above, only those facilities needed to support interpretive and educational activities on the site
are recommended. The facilities of the Conservation Area will be constructed in compliance
with all state and federal construction standards, including the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The proposed improvements include a short access drive from Wabasso Road with a parking
area designed for 10 automobiles (including 1 handicapped space) and two school buses. A
small, pre fabricated metal shelter, a wooden observation overlook (approximately 200 square
feet in area) on a representative wetland area, and interpretive signage comprise the structural
improvements recommended for the Conservation Area.
Two loop trails are proposed The accessible interpretive trail is a compacted limerock walk
5' in width and approximately 2,800 feet long. The trail will allow visitors of all physical
abilities to move through each of the natural communities and ecotones of the site. Interpretive
signs at the proposed shelter and along the trail will explain the natural resources and processes
of the site, the species composition, dynamics and fire -dependent ecology of the scrub, scrubby
flatwoods and pine flatwoods and wet prairie communities, and the restoration and
enhancement activities occurring in the Conservation Area as a whole. The unimproved loop
trail is a footpath approximately one mile in length to allow a broader view of the Conservation
area, and to provide non vehicular access to the interior of the property for patrol, nature study
and research.
Figure _ depicts a preliminary location for these improvements, subject to additional site
analysis. With the exception of the parking area, no trees will be removed to construct the
facilities. The parking area will require clearing approximately 10,000 to square feet of pine
flatwoods. It is recommended that pavement for the parking area be limited to the drive, and
a pervious system be used to stabilize the parking bays in order to reduce the area required to
be cleared for construction and stormwater management. A bicycle rack will be provided to
encourage alternative transportation. Bicycle use within the Conservation Area will be
prohibited as a measure to protect the site's natural resources and the experiences of other
visitors.

The location of all proposed improvements will be chosen to minimize impact to the natural
resources of the site, and to completely avoid impact to any listed plant or animal species. Staff
of the GFC will be involved in planning, site analysis and design for all site improvements for
public access at the Conservation Area.
For the immediate future, the Wabasso Scrub Conservation Area should not be open on a day-
to-day basis for unattended visitation. At least until an ecological burn program has been
implemented, and other measures to reduce fuel loads to protect the site from wildfire have
taken effect, protection of the site's resources should take precedence over the need for casual
public access to the property. After public access facilities are developed, County staff will
arrange for a reservation system, or for weekend staffing one or two times a month, for visitor
access and interpretive tours or other activities consistent with the purpose of the project.
Volunteers and/or staff from the Environmental Learning Center will provide important
assistance to the County Parks Division in providing open days and activities at the
Conservation Area.
An identification sign will be placed at the access drive connecting to Wabasso Road. The sign
will identify the Conservation Area as being open to the public on a reservation basis or on
scheduled days, and provide telephone contacts to arrange site visits. The sign will also identify
the site as being operated as a natural resource conservation area, and provide credit for
funding to Indian River County and the Florida Communities Trust.
Mr. Granse did not know where the words came from that are in
the proposed management plan, particularly, "The trails will allow
visitors of all disabilities."
Mr. Granse wondered why the County will be able to build -all
these improvements on this property when the people in Sebastian
Highlands could not build on their lots because of the scrub jays.
He emphasized that all this came about since the meeting last
Thursday afternoon,- stressing that the $26—million received from
bond revenues could grow to $50—million when you add in all the
improvements and maintenance called for in the management of the
LAAC properties.
William Roolage, Vista Trail, urged the Board to give some
consideration to the retirees in this community whose income has
shrunk by being very careful about the expenditure of capital.
Public Works Director Jim Davis pointed out that there are
several benefits in acquiring this property. The CR -512 project is
being held in abeyance until we can resolve the scrub jay issue,
and this could help that.
There being no others who wished to be heard, the -Chairman
closed the Public Hearing.

ORDINANCE 95-14
AN ORDINANCE OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY,
FLORIDA, LIMITING THE WAIVER OF SOVEREIGN
IMMUNITY WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACTS TO THE
EXPRESS WRITTEN TERMS OF THE CONTRACTS.
WHEREAS, in Florida sovereign immunity is the rule rather than

WHEREAS, it is in the public interest to delineate the extent to
which the County waives sovereign immunity with respect to contracts,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, that:
SECTION 1. NEW SECTION.
A new Section 105.09 is added to read as follows:
Section 105.09. Waiver of sovereign immunity in contracts.
Notwithstanding any specific contractual language to the contrary,
in any contract executed by the Chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners on behalf of the County, the County shall be bound only
by the express written terms of the contract as originally written or as
expressly modified by a written document executed by the Chairman.
No action or demand for arbitration shall be commenced against the
County based on an implied covenant within the express written terms
of the contract or upon a provision implied by law. Failure of a party
to comply with the express written terms of the contract shall act as a
bar to any action or arbitration by said party against the County.
This represents the limits of waiver of sovereign immunity by the
County with regard to County contracts.

RE: Consideration of Economic Development Marketing Plan
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular
meeting of June 27, 1995.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
Among the policies of the county's adopted Overall Economic
Development Plan (OEDP) is one which commits the county to prepare
an economic development marketing plan. Over the past year, county
staff have coordinated with the Chamber of Commerce and Council of
100 to prepare the required marketing plan. Consequently, the
marketing plan is a product of coordination among county planning
staff, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Council of 100.
The Economic Development Marketing Plan consists of several
components, including a target industry section; a discussion of
marketing strategies; the marketing program; a monitoring and
evaluation section; and a general cost benefit analysis of the
pian.
55
JUNE 279 1995
On January 24, 1995, the Economic Development Council reviewed the
first draft of several sections of the marketing plan and provided
comments to staff. The draft Economic Development Marketing plan
was then revised per EDC 's comments, and new sections were added to
the plan. On April 25, 1995, the Economic Development Council
reviewed and approved the proposed Economic Development Marketing
plan with some changes. The revised Economic Development Marketing
plan, reflecting all revisions recommended by the EDC, is attached
for the Board's consideration.
ANALYSIS
An important part of any marketing plan is identifying marketing
strategies and projecting marketing costs. Because the
characteristics of Indian River County's chosen target industries
differ significantly with respect to size, location, and other
characteristics, the choice of targets had a major effect on
marketing strategies and, therefore, cost. The marketing plan's
chosen targets were the basis for establishing marketing strategies
and projecting costs.
In developing the county's target industry list, a detailed target
industry analysis report prepared by planning staff was utilized.
Based upon the results of the county's recently completed economic
base study as well as research on SIC code industry groups, the
staff's target industry study reflected a detailed analysis of all
applicable SIC code categories. Based upon that analysis, the
following target industries were selected: printing and publishing,
fabricated metal products, machinery, instrument related products,
and computer software. Under each of these general target
industries, there are a number of specific subcategories.
The marketing plan is a tactical plan and will be.coordinated with
the County's Economic Development Strategic Plan and the Chamber's
five year Economic Development Plan. It will also be the basis for
annual budget considerations.
ALTERNATIVES
With respect to the proposed Indian River County Economic
Development Marketing Plan, the Board of County Commissioners has
three alternatives. These are:
• To approve this plan as proposed
• To approve this plan with changes
• To reject the proposed plan
Either of the first two alternatives will ensure that the county
and the Chamber of Commerce will have a more focused marketing
plan. Staff supports the first alternative.
RECOMMENDATION
The Economic Development Council and the staff recommend that the
Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed Indian River
County Economic Development Marketing Plan.
56
JUNE 279 1995 'J'A
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously approved
the IRC Economic Development Marketing Plan, as
recommended by staff.

SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO SUBMIT TRANSPORTATION
ENHANCEMENT PROJECT APPLICATIONS
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular
meeting of June 27, 1995.
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS
The federal Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of
1991 (ISTEA) mandates that 10% of all Surface Transportation
Program (STP) funds allocated under the provisions of the act be
available for transportation enhancements. Funding for enhancement
projects is distributed through the FDOT District Offices.
Applicants for enhancement projects may be local governments, state
agencies, state or national interest groups, or local interest
groups. In areas with MPOs, the MPO must receive and formally
submit the applications to FDOT. Each enhancement project
application must have a project sponsor. The project sponsor must
be a local, state, or federal agency which will provide the
required funding match and undertake necessary actions to implement
the proposed project. The project applicant and project sponsor
may be the same.
While the MPO must submit the enhancement applications to FDOT, the
County and municipalities, as project sponsors, play the largest
role in the enhancement application process. It is the local
governments that decide the enhancement projects for which to
submit applications.
57
JUNE 27, 1995
In the two years that applications for enhancement funding have
been accepted by FDOT, three projects within the MPO area have been
funded through placement in FDOT's Five -Year Work Program. These
projects each involve bicycle/pedestrian improvements, and are the
Jungle Trail project, Sebastian Riverfront project, and North
County Recreation Route project.
ANALYSIS
Last year, the County was the applicant for six enhancement
projects, totalling nearly $4 million in federal and state funding.
Of these projects, only one received funding. That was the North
County Recreation Route project; its cost is estimated at
$1,038,080. The other projects were not funded, and must be
resubmitted in order to receive funding in a future program cycle.
At its June 14, 1995 meeting, the MPO discussed the county's
bicycle and pedestrian system, and noted that there is a need for
sidewalk construction near schools. Several of last year's
enhancement project applications would provide sidewalks near
schools. In the attached table, staff have listed each of last
year's applications, provided information on the project cost, and
noted if the project provides for sidewalks on the School
District's priority list.
Available Funding
This year, FDOT has informed all MPOs of the estimated. amount of
enhancement funding available in the upcoming Work Program cycle.
The amount allotted to the Indian River County MPO area will be
approximately $250,000, to be programmed in state Fiscal Year
2000/2001.
This is the first year that the MPO has known the estimated funding
for enhancement projects prior to the submittal deadline. By
providing this information to the MPOs, FDOT has assisted the MPOs
and potential applicants in determining the potential of funding
for enhancement applications.
Given that the funding available for this year's enhancement
project applications is (significantly less than in previous years,
the County would be best served by applying for only one project
within the Fiscal Year 2000/2001 time frame. Staff could submit
all unfunded applications from last year, but since only $250,000
in funding is available, only one project could be funded.
Analysis of 1994 Enhancement Applications
As shown on the attached table, the Causeway Connector was the
highest ranked, non -funded project submitted by the County in 1994.
Given its relatively low projected cost, this project could be
funded by the allocation of enhancement funds for the next funding
cycle. The City of Vero Beach also supports this project, and
feels that it is a needed addition to the county sidewalk and
bikepath network. The sidewalks and bikepaths included in this
project -do not, however, provide facilities that. areranked as
priorities by the School District.
The South County Recreation Network would provide sidewalks and
bikepaths to two of the most needed school areas. Some of the
segments listed on this application are already being completed by
5.8
JUNE 279 1995 BOOK 95 PAGE nn
BooK 9 5 Fr1��c��� �
-Fie County using local funds, so the scope and cost of the
enhancement project would be less than originally proposed. The
cost for this project would still be too high to be fully funded in
the next available funding cycle; however, by revising the project
to remove several sidewalk segments, the project cost could be
reduced to correspond to available funding amounts.
A third project, the County Cyclists Loop, would provide paved
highway shoulders for cyclists, but this project does not meet the
needs of school age children who walk or ride a bicycle to school.
Another project, the Vero Beach/Glendale Elementary Project, would
provide additional sidewalks in a needed area, but the priority of
the sidewalks is not as high as those of the South County
Recreation Network.
Ranked sixth among last year's County submittals, the Gifford
Commercial/Medical Connector would provide needed sidewalks and
bikepaths in the Gifford area, and would provide additional
connections to area schools. The facilities listed in the
application would not, however, provide sidewalks to the areas
considered most in need by the School District.
Another potential enhancement project included in last year's
discussions is the provision of a sidewalk along Roseland Road from
US 1 to CR 512. This project would not provide facilities on the
School District's priority list.
Proposed 1995 Enhancement Application
Considering the above discussion, staff recommends that the County
make application for a portion of the South County Recreation
Network. The Public Works and Community Development Departments
have coordinated to determine which sidewalks and bikepaths could
be included in this enhancement application to use the available
enhancement funding and get the project programmed as early as
possible. Making this single application ensures that the County
uses available enhancement, funds to the fullest possible extent
while avoiding the expenditure of staff time that would be
necessary to re -submit all unfunded 1994 applications.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize
staff to submit the above referenced transportation enhancement
project application, agree to be the project sponsor for the
application, and authorize the chairman to execute a project
sponsor certification statement for the application.

AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE EQUIPMENT FOR THE
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FROM EXISTING NON
MATCHING GRANT FUNDS
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 6/15/95:
TO: Honorable Board of County C mmissioners June 15, 1995
THROUGH: Doug Wright, Director I,
Department of Emergency"Services
FROM: John King, Emergency Management Coordinator-
-SK
of Emergency Management
It is respectfully requested that the information contained herein
be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners
at the next scheduled meeting.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
In 1993, the Florida Legislature enacted a funding mechanism for
the purpose of improving and expanding local emergency management
agencies and other programs through an Emergency Management,
Preparedness and Assistance Trust Fund.
On November 11, 1994, the Board of County Commissioners approved
the recurring Emergency Management Preparedness and Assistance
Grant allocation in the amount of $71,924. The $71,924 grant was
reduced by $4,500 -to $67,424 as the result of a deduction by the
state for prorated costs to each county for a statewide satellite
communications network for all county emergency operations centers.
The Board at that .time used a portion of the grant funds for
continued funding of an emergency management planner position and
other expenses.
As authorized by the Board, the balance of the grant funds were
placed into a contingency account for capital improvements in the
Emergency Management Office later in the grant year. It should be
noted that any part of the grant funds not expended in this fiscal
year must be returned to the state.
61
JUNE 27, 1995
� � r
Staff is also in receipt of Modification #1 to the Emergency
Management, Preparedness and Assistance Trust Fund, which is a
reallocation of grant funds from other counties that did not expend
their eligible funds last fiscal year. With Board approval, the
agreement modification will increase Indian River County's EMPA
grant by $1,740 for a total of $73,664 or $69,164 after the $4,500
deduction for the satellite communications network by the State.
The documents for Modification #1 are attached and Board approval
is recommended.
Staff is now requesting the Board to authorize the expenditure of
the balance of the grant funds (approximately $29,430 plus $1,740
for Modification #1 or unallocated funds of $31,170) placed in the
contingency account, funds unspent as a result of staff maternity
leave (no -pay status), a reallocation of funds previously budgeted
for a printer and filing cabinets, as well as the additional funds
available from Modification #1 to the EMPA agreement. The
following office modifications and equipment will be used to
improve and expand the Emergency Management program in accordance
with Rule 9G-19.
1. Limited remodeling, including repainting, of the existing
office area estimated at $2,000.
2. Purchase modular work areas for an estimated total of
$22,370 at state contract price in order to better
utilize the office space available to staff.
3. Upgrade the computer hardware/file server system to a
newer more compatible client -server architecture for an
estimated cost of $2,000.
4. Purchase -three computer software upgrades for hazardous
materials records, graphic presentations, and damage
assessment information to interface with the State for an
estimated total of $800.
5. Purchase four damage assessment kits which will include
a durable briefcase and assorted equipment (camera, GPS,
etc), as well as an assortment of field supplies to
expedite reporting and record keeping required by the
Florida Division of Emergency Management for incident
reporting. The estimated cost for each kit is $1,000 or
a total of $4,000.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS:
Since staff has estimated the prices for some of the above items,
it is requested that the Board authorize staff to adjust the number
of items purchased in order to expend the balance of the grant
funds, in lieu of returning monies to the state for reallocation to
other counties for improving or expanding their emergency
management program.
Staff recommends the Board approve the expenditure of the non-
matching existing grant funds and Modification.#1 alluded to above
and -authorize staff to adjust the number of items purchased in the
categories stated in order to preclude returning grant monies to
the state for reallocation to other counties.
Staff also recommends that the Board approve
grant agreement and authorize the Chairman to
documents to obtain the additional funds in
along with the necessary budget amendment.

AGREEMENT WITH S IRWMD FOR FLORIDA YARDS &
NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAM
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 6/19/95:
DATE: 19 June 1995
TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
THROUGH: H.T. "SONNY" DEAN, DIRECTOR - DEPT. OF GENERAL SERVIC
FROM: DANIEL F. CULBERT, MANAGER - COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE
SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN SawmD & INDIAN RIVER
COUNTY for FLORIDA YARDS & NEIGHBORHOOD (FYN) PROGRAM
BACKGROUND:
A grant funded public educational effort entitled the Florida Yards & Neighborhood Program
for the Indian River Lagoon has been proposed by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the Saint John's Water
Management District, the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Program, and the University
of Florida Cooperative Extension Service. This program is designed to teach the public about
and encourage the adoption of Environmental Landscape Management (ELM) practices that will
reduce the amount of non -point source pollution entering the Indian River Lagoon.
Environmental Landscape Management (ELM) practices have been developed and tested through
the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. The Cooperative
Extension Service of UF/IFAS is uniquely qualified to demonstrate these practices and encourage
their adoption through the Florida Yards & Neighborhood Program. Adoption of these practices
will, in the short run, reduce non -point source pollution, and in the long run, change the
perception of what constitutes an appropriate landscape in the area.
ANALYSIS:
This two year grant funded program will begin simultaneously in the six counties that
encompass the Indian River Lagoon. Indian River County, because of its central location, is
being asked to receive the largest proportion of these grant funds and house a multi -county
Visiting Extension Agent. In addition, a part-time program assistant with exclusive
responsibilities for Indian River County will be provided. Both of these staff persons will work
as Indian River County employees under the County's Extension Service, a part of Indian River
County's General Services Department.
JUNE 279 1995

771
The Visiting Extension Agent, the Yards & Neighborhood Agent, will be responsible for
maintaining a Lagoon wide citizen's advisory committee, will adapt or develop educational
materials for the program, provide support to the five other county's extension agents and YNP
program assistants, will promote and evaluate the program, and provide those reports as
specified in this proposal (See Exhibit A, p 7-9) and in the Position Description. By virtue of
location in our county, it is expected that additional attention will be provided to the local needs
for this program.
The YNP Program Assistant will be a part-time employee who will be responsible for meeting
with the public, enrolling Indian River County participants, twining volunteer Advisors/Docents
who will evaluate and certify sites as Florida Yards, and conduct evaluations of practice
adoption. (See Position Description)
The CmW Extension Director will provide supervision, training and assistance for the multi -
county YNP Agent and Indian River County YNP Program Assistant. The County Director will
serve as Project Manager, and will work cooperatively with other groups and agencies in order
to assure that the project is conducted according to this Agreement.
FUNDING:
Funding of this program will be through Contract # 95W174 entitled - Agreement between Saint
John's Water Management District and Indian River County for the Florida Yards &
Neighborhoods Program for the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Program- (attached).
A two year grant in the total amount not to exceed $102.616.64 will be paid to Indian River
County to provide for personnel services and operating supplies for the program.
In-kind contributions expected of Indian River County will include a portion of the professional
time of the Indian River County Extension Director, office support from existing secretaries,
supplies that have already been requested through the FY96 county budget request, and those
which would normally be expected for FY 97. No additional county government funds will
be required. The Multi -county FYN agent and FYN Program Assistant will be provided office
space in the County's Administrative Annex.
LlAk$U,� IDOL
County Staff recommends approval of the Agreement and requests authorization for the Board
Chairman to execute all applicable documents.
Commissioner Adams emphasized the importance of controlling
yard run-off in our efforts to control pollution of the Indian
River Lagoon. She felt this is a great opportunity for us.
Derek Busby, program director of the Indian River Lagoon
National Estuary Program, felt the educational effort is a great
blend of local, state and federal governments to address the
problems at their source. They anticipate spending millions of
dollars over the next 25 years to reduce pollution problems.

SPACE NEEDS - COUNTY ADSTRATION BUILDING
POSSIBLE TRADE WITH SCHOOL DISTRICT
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 6/21/95:
DATE: - JUNE 21, 1995
TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
THRU: JAMES E. CHANDLER
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: H.T. "SONNY" DEAN, DIRECTO
DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES
SUBJECT: COUNTY STAFF SPACE NEEDS
VACANT STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE BUILDING
BACKGROUND:
On Tuesday, June 21, 1995, staff met with the Vero Beach City
Council to discuss their position on the County perusing the
addition of a fourth floor to the County Administration Building.
It was the City's position not to provide support through the court
system but would agree to a referendum in March 1996, as allowed by
ordinance.
As you recall, renovations of the Administrations Building's HVAC
system was tied to the fourth floor addition. It is staff's
feeling that our space needs and the HVAC renovations cannot wait
until March, 1996 and stand a chance of not being able to proceed
with a plan after the referendum was not in our favor.
The Board had approved staff's recommendation for expansion which
included sale of the old Health Clinic, Courthouse Annex and former
State Attorney's office building. Revenues from sale of these
buildings were to be used to off -set cost associated with our over
all plan for expanding facilities to accommodate the space needs.
This, along with budgeted dollars, would almost cover the
anticipated costs for this project.
The School District originally approached the County to sell them
the former State Attorney's office building and we gave them a
price which equaled the appraised value. Now the District has
requested that we lease them this building for $1.00/year. Staff
advised Mr. Greg Smith of the District, that disposition of the
building would not be addressed until our expansion plans were
resolved with a definite plan of action. They wanted to put the
building to use in the 1995-96 school year.
Along with the above, we are using the old State Attorneys building
for storage of records for our various departments and other
constitutional officers. Conditioned and adequately protected
storage space is really getting to be a problem that will need to
be addressed if this building is disposed of.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends the following:
1. A professional architect/engineering firm be hired under
guidelines of the Consultant's Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA).
Once engaged part of their scope of work would be.
65
JUNE 279 1995
W
M _ r
a. Look at the feasibility of constructing a wing at ground
level off the present building to accommodate present space
needs. Recommended size would be about same as originally
proposed fourth floor.
(1) If feasible and approved by Board A/E will proceed
with services for construction phase.
b. Evaluate the various alternatives for either a long term
or short term basis and present those finding along with a
recommendation to the Board.
C. Determine the most practical and economical way to
renovate the Administration Building's HVAC systems as
recommended by the Gee and Jenson report. Prepare plans and
specifications to accomplish the recommended work.
•2. Offer old State Attorney's office building to School District
at the appraised price of $375,000 to help off -set cost associated
with recommendation number one. Also continue discussions with
School District on concept of their using the old Courthouse an
Annex in their space needs plan._
Chairman Macht advised that after meeting -with staff, he came
up with a 3 -prong alternative: Offer the State Attorney's building
to the School District at the appraised price; offer the old annex
at some mutually agreeable price; and give the School District the
old Courthouse in return for some definitive action on their part
wherein they would vacate the quarters they now occupy. It seemed
to him that would be a practical solution to the need for more
space in the County Administration Building. It would be a win,
win situation and the County would get value received for the
former State Attorney's office building, which is a modern, usable
building.
Commissioner Eggert agreed it would be a win, win situation
for everyone concerned. It would free up some space in the
Administration Building and help us keep everything on one campus
rather than start to separate the Constitutionals, etc.
Commissioner Eggert wondered whether the Courthouse renovation
grant could be transferred to the School Board, and Chairman Macht
stated that he believed the renovation grant is transferrable.
Commissioner Bird felt we need to make a commitment to the
School Board by declaring the State Attorney's office expendable
and offering it to the School Board at appraised value.
Greg Smith, facilities director for the School Board, stated
that they certainly would be interested in some kind of agreement
with the County for utilization of the three properties listed by
Director Dean. The School District has an immediate need to
utilize the State Attorney's office building for adult educational
66
JUNE 279 1995 BOOK 95 Pw
Saw 9 . on
• classes. There is quite a bit of work to be done on the courthouse
and annex before they could be used, but that would give them 2
years to apply for grants, etc. He felt we could all come out
winners, especially the taxpayers.
Commissioner Eggert thought that leasing creates some problems
over the long term. She felt that if the School Board wants the
building, it should be their building.
Administrator Chandler noted that the proposed expansion and
picking up 2,000 square feet from the School Board building would
satisfy the needs for future space. He felt the State Attorney's
office building should be sold outright to the School Board because
it is the most marketable building that the County has in terms of
condition, location, etc.
Chairman Macht felt we have a consensus going here to
authorize staff to negotiate the sale of the State Attorney's
Office.
Commissioner Bird really felt that the State Attorney's office
building is an asset that should be sold outright to the School
Board -and then work out a reasonable lease agreement on the other
two buildings.
Chairman Macht agreed on an outright sale of the State
Attorney's office. It is more than a bookkeeping matter -- it is
a matter of asset management.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously authorized
staff to negotiate with the School Board on the sale
of State Attorney's building and lease of old
courthouse and annex; and issue an RFP for
architect/ engineer re expansion of Administration
Building space and determine most practical,
economical renovation of A/C system.
Mr. Smith stated that the School Board is interested in the
transfer of the three properties and getting into the State
Attorney's Office as quickly as possible in order to begin adult
education classes.
Anthony Masi, resident of Vero Beach, suggested that all
County space needs be met before considering any non -County uses of
the building.

SCHEDULING OF BUDGET WORKSHOP
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 6/26/95:
TO: Members of the Board

DATE: June 26, 1995
SUBJECT: BUDGET WORKSHOP DATE
FROM: Joseph A. Baird
OMB Director
The Board 'of County Commissioners has tentatively scheduled the budget workshop to begin on
Tuesday, July 11, 1995 after the Board meeting. Traditionally we have started the workshop on
Wednesday because of the Tuesday Board of County Commissioners meeting. In view of Tuesday,
July 11, 1995 having a Board of County Commissioners meeting as well as having the Land
Acquisition $15,000,000 bond bid opening, staff suggests the budget workshop begin at 9:00 a.m.
on Wednesday, July 12, 1995.
After a brief discussion on changing dates for the July Budget

DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
In February, 1994, Indian River County and the Indian River County School District, both being
represented on the Site Plan Analysis Cooperation Committee for new school construction,
agreed to joint funding of road widening, drainage, and bikepath improvements along 20th
68

r
Avenue SW and 5th Street SW near the new Oslo Middle School. Construction by the School
District Contractor is substantially complete and the School District has requested that the
County pay $134,112.97 as its share. The Public Works Department budgeted $95,000 in the
FY94/95 budget within Fund 109 -214 -(Secondary Road Fund) for 5th Street SW for this work.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
The County received no detailed bid cost for the work prior to construction. After receipt of the
bill for $134,112.97, staff evaluated the request and estimate the value of the work at $99,931.12.
In addition, some of the billed work related to utility line construction (water and sewer) and
should not be paid by the Public Works Department road paving budget. The Public Works
Department's estimate for the road and drainage improvements is $91,682.18.
After discussions with the School District staff, the Public Works Department recognizes that the
School district did competitively bid the work. The School District's Architect did not require
an itemized bid schedule, and it was difficult to break out the County's cost. Based on these
circumstances, the following alternatives are presented:
Alternative No. 1
Authorize payment in the amount of $122,412.20 which includes the School
District's billing for all road and drainage work. All work associated with water
and sewer items costing $5,594.83, as well as a 4.77% administrative expense of
$6,105.94, has been deleted.
Alternative No. 2
Authorize the entire requested payment of $134,112.97. This would include utility
work and an administrative expense.
Alternative No. 3
Authorize payment of the staffs preconstruction estimate of $91,682.18 for road
and drainage work only.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
Staff recommends Alternative No. 1 which includes payment authorization for $122,412.20.
Funding to be from Fund 109 Secondary Road Fund. The attached budget amendment
authorizes funding.

SCHEDULE PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER LOCAL OPTION
GAS TAX DISTRIBUTION METHOD
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 6/21/95:
TO: James E. Chandler,
County Administrator
FROM: James W. Davis, P.E.,
Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Local Option Gas Tax (LOGT) - Request for Public Hearing
DATE: June 21, 1995
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
In January, 1995, the County Public Works Department requested each of the five
municipalities to submit figures for their town's transportation expenditures for
the past five (5) years, number of lane miles of roadways under each
municipality's jurisdiction, and number of bridges in their jurisdiction. These
figures have been received and inserted into the Local Option Gas Tax formula
agreed upon in 1985.
The enclosed table summarizes the data received and includes a new distribution
percentage. Staff intended to report the revised percentages to the State for
updating distribution. In late 1994, the State Legislature changed the LOGT
distribution procedure by requiring the County to hold a Public Hearing on the
distribution method every two years if the past interlocal agreements with the
municipalities do not provide for local governmental periodic review -of the
distribution method. The 1991 executed agreements between the county and
municipalities do not provide for this review. On August 31, 1996, the first 10
year period of LOGT implementation will terminate and the Board will have to
consider reauthorizing the program.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
Instead of changing percentages at this time, staff recommends scheduling a
Public Hearing on Sept. 12, 1995 to consider the LOGT Distribution Method and
receive public comment on extending the program beyond August 31, 1996.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously scheduled
a public hearing on September 12, 1995, as
recommended by staff.

On December 12, 19.94, the Board of County Commissioners awarded the
subject project in the amount of $683,372.00 to Tri -Sure Corporation
of Auburndale, Florida. (See attached.)
ANALYSIS
The project has been completed. All Indian River County
requirements have been met, and we have received DEP clearance.
Change Order No. 1 (attached) decreased the contract cost by
$2,015:30. The total cost of the project is therefore $681,356.70:
This decrease is due to field adjustments. The contractor has been
paid $556,419.60 to date.
The Department of Utility Services recommends approval of Change

subject project in the amount of $561,682.50 to Treasure Coast
Contracting of Vero Beach. (See attached.)
ANALYSIS

Change Order No. 1 (attached) decreased the contract cost by

SUBJECT: Local Fishing Community Revitalization Team

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Pat Silk and Sam Patterson, who have been working with Martin and
St. Lucie Counties, just brought to my attention that Indian River
County should also have a Local Fishing Community Revitalization
Team to identify activities and resources to help those affected by
the net fishing ban, and to determine the economic impact by
completing the Revitalization Guide.
To accomplish this, I wish to -set up a Revitalization Team
consisting of 2 commercial fishermen
1 banker
1 representative of an economic development entity
1 Sebastian business person (non -fishing) but
affected by the ban
3 at -large members.
This committee would work with Roland DeBlois, Sasan Rohani, Sam
Patterson of the Private Industry Council, and me.
We wish to tell the state that
1. We would like technical assistance,
2. We will send before June 30 the names, titles and
phone numbers of those who will formalize the
guide,
3. We will send what information we have by June 30,
4. We need a'30 day extension to complete the
Revitalization Guide.
Please approve our going forward with this.
Commissioner Eggert explained that this committee probably
will function for just one month, just long enough to get this
information to them. She suggested that Mike Gifford serve as the
banking representative. She understood from Sam Patterson that the
fishermen are resisting the 12 -page application forms.
Commissioner Bird suggested Charlie Thomas be named to the
team.
Commissioner Adams suggested that we include the aqua -culture
park in this application, and Commissioner Eggert advised that is
included.
