Petition to Establish LP CDD
LP Administrative Approval
DRAFT Ordinance CDD- LP
Affidavit of Publication - Liberty Park CDD
Indian River County Florida Page 5
Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final October 18, 2022
County Attorney Dylan Reingold referred to staff's memo dated October 5,
2022, as he recapped the Liberty Park Community Development District (CDD)
Petition submitted to the County. County staff and the County Attorney's office
believed the submitted Petition satisfied the criteria contained in Florida Statute
190.005, as well as in the County's recently -adopted CDD guidelines. Attorney
Reingold read the recommendation to approve the establishment of a CDD to
fund Liberty Park's development, a multi -use project spanning 502.47 acres.
Commissioner Laura Moss raised concerns regarding the comprehensiveness of
the traffic impact study which was completed in 2008. Community Development
Director Phil Matson informed the traffic study went through a robust concurrency
process which considered all 913 planned homes. Director Matson and Attorney
Reingold reiterated this hearing was intended to approve the CDD funding
mechanism only, noting the developer had the right to move forward with Liberty
Park as previously approved regardless of CDD approval.
Further discussion was had between Commissioner Moss, Director Matson, and
County Administrator Jason Brown regarding the development process.
Commissioner Susan Adams provided clarification regarding the safeguards and
concerns which had been addressed in 2008. She concluded that this Petition
checked all the required boxes for CDD establishment and requested to focus on
the CDD funding mechanism so the project could move forward.
The Chairman opened the floor for public discussion.
Ed Dodd, Sebastian City Council (the City), referenced a letter the City sent to
the county questioning whether the CDD or the county would fund improvements
to the intersection of Schumann Drive and Barber Street. Chairman O'Bryan
recommended having the City send a letter to the MPO requesting this issue
remain on the front burner.
Andrew Kennedy, Proctor Kennedy Properties, utilized a PowerPoint
presentation to detail the approved Liberty Park development and the planned
infrastructure. It also outlined CDD reporting requirements, establishment criteria,
and the benefits and protections for the County.
Attorney Jonathan Johnson, Kutak Rock LLP, presented the benefits and limits of
a CDD -funded development versus a privately funded one.
Chairman O'Bryan questioned if the $76 million of infrastructure improvements
were to be funded entirely through the CDD. Mr. Johnson stated it would be
Indian River County Florida Page 6
Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final October 18, 2022
determined in consultation with the capital markets and advisors in the District.
The Chairman then requested prioritization of obtaining promised conservation
easements, planned intersection improvements, and to have the planned park
moved from Phase 3 to Phase 1 of development.
[Clerk's Note: At this time, the Chairman announced that the Public Hearing
would continue following the Time Certain 10:30 a.m. Attorney -Client Session.
The Board reconvened in Chambers at 11:56 a.m. Chairman O'Bryan closed the
Attorney -Client Session and reopened the regular Board meeting by continuing
the public hearing.]
Mr. Johnson responded to Chairman O'Bryan's previous comments noting that
obtaining conservation easements were already required prior to the final plat
approval for Phase one. He could not commit to amending the order of the
development process at this time.
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Flescher, Commissioner Earman,
Chairman O'Bryan, and Mr. Johnson regarding the ball fields and parks.
Chairman O'Bryan stated his position was to deny approval of the CDD unless
the developer could provide assurance that the plans would be fully realized.
Administrator Brown agreed this was an unusual process, but requested the focus
remain on whether the development met all the guidelines set forth for CDD
approval.
Commissioner Adams sought and received clarification from Ryan Sweeney,
Director of Current Development, regarding the funding process and how it
affected the phases of development. Mr. Sweeney advised there were several
steps along the way with built-in checks to ensure developer accountability. The
Commissioner cited the Greenways connection as one of the outstanding benefits
of the plan, and voiced her support for approval of the CDD; she noted that none
of the desired community amenities would come to fruition if the project could not
get started.
Joe Paladin, President, Black Swan Consulting, expressed support for CDD
approval, noting that the project "checked all the required boxes" and would spur
new development.
Richard Bialosky, Developer and Architect, supported Liberty Park as a good
example of a new kind of development and supported allowing financing through
a CDD.

Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final October 18, 2022
Bill Rigby, President, West Wabasso Progressive Civic Club, received
confirmation that Community Development Block Grants were for the
improvement of an existing community. He expressed frustration that the
developers were not doing enough to improve the Wabasso neighborhood, with
Administrator Brown offering a list of planned community enhancements in
rebuttal. Mr. Rigby and Attorney Reingold entered into discussion regarding state
statutes, County Attorney Reingold stated there were no representatives from the
Florida Land and Water Adjudicatory Commission (FLWAC) at the hearing, that
FLWAC approval was not needed for this size development, and that Florida
Statute Sections 380, 190, and 120 were not relevant to this public hearing.
Donald Proctor, Developer, spoke in support of the quality of the team behind the
development.
Mr. Kennedy returned to thank the Board and staff for their consideration.
There being no further speakers, the Chairman closed the public hearing.
The Commissioners made their final comments.
Commissioner Moss posited the effect of establishing a government entity in the
form of a CDD was of utmost importance to the public. She expressed agreement
with Chairman O'Bryan's request, and revisited her doubts regarding the impact
of traffic.
Commissioner Adams thought it inappropriate to negotiate details of the approved
development during this public hearing. She supported Liberty Park's plans,
noting that this large-scale planning was the direction the County should be
moving in according to its Visioning plan.
Commissioner Flescher reiterated that the Board's purpose today was to
consider the appropriateness of adding a financing tool for developers in the form
of a CDD. Additionally, he addressed the problem of affordable housing, and
how a CDD could help lower the barrier to homeownership and provide
family -friendly amenities.
Vice Chairman Earman advocated for quality growth beyond cookie -cutter
subdivisions. He spoke of the development team which was respected in the
community and stated his support of approving the Petition for CDD
establishment.
Indian River County Florida Page 8
Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final October 18, 2022
Chairman O'Bryan expressed concern that the CDD would not have
accountability regarding how the funds would be spent. He noted that the cost for
amenities and improvements was not included in the construction budget, and
again expressed skepticism about whether all the plans would be actualized. The
Chairman also expressed concern that homeowners would not be properly
educated regarding the ramifications of a CDD and the financial commitment
involved. He restated his opposition without more concreted assurances from the
developer regarding his requests.
A motion was made by Commissioner Adams, seconded by Commissioner
Flescher, to approve the establishment of the LP Community Development
District and adopt Ordinance 2022-012, establishing the LP Community
Development District pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes; providing a
title; providing findings; creating and naming the district; describing the
external boundaries of the district; describing the functions and powers of the
district; designating five persons to serve as the initial members of the
district's board of supervisors; providing a severability clause, and providing
an effective date. The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 3- Vice Chairman Earman, Commissioner Adams, and Commissioner Flescher

Community Development Director Phil Matson opened the presentation by giving
some background on the purpose of the Land Use Visioning Study. Using a
PowerPoint presentation, he outlined what had been done since the Metropolitan
Planning Organization (MPO) approved a scope of services for population,
development, and rural lands visioning study in 2021.
Director Matson stated it was the staff's view the visioning study had featured

following recommendations to consider for further development: 1) Must connect
within three (3) years of water/sewer becoming available; 2) in order to receive
sewer service, homeowners must also connect to water; 3) set aside funding in
each year's budget to assist with low-income and disadvantaged homeowners; 4)
Indian River County Florida Page 12
Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final October 18, 2022
cost of connections could be paid through the tax roll, with a 10-20 year payoff
depending on the amount financed; and 5) require once connected to County
water, households would not be allowed to return to well water.
He stated no funding was needed at this time; however, if the County were to
move forward with these proposals he anticipated funding for the proposed
Sewer & Water Infrastructure Funding Tactic (SWIFT) program would come
from optional sales tax.
A lengthy discussion ensued between the Board and staff as the Commissioners
voiced their concerns regarding the proposed recommendations for mandatory
connections.
Sebastian Vice Mayor Fred Jones spoke in support of mandatory connections.
He commented it was important to get as many septic tanks off the river and
throughout the city.
It was the consensus of the board for staff to return to the Board with
revisions to the proposed code changes and recommendations to encourage
water and sewer connections.
