ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA/EMERGENCY ITEMS

13-B-2 Tax Abatement Brochure
13-B-3 Hospital Nova Award - Gifford Medical Center
Commissiofter Macht requested the addition of a comment on the
Old Courthouse.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously approved
the addition of the above items.
SUGGESTION AWARDS PRESENTATION
Chairman Adams announced that two Utilities Department
employees would share the $200 County Employee Recognition Award
for this quarter -- Lionel Ogilvie and Leo D'Angelo. The
selection committee felt their suggestion of a "splashboard" was a
very good cost -savings measure. While working at the Gifford
Sludge Treatment Plant, they created a "splashboard" that allows
them to remove sludge easier from the trailer of the sludge -hauling
truck. The splashboard, installed above the truck's hydraulic
push -ram, eliminates the problem of sludge caking over the top of
1

r
the push -ram. As a result, employees no longer have to climb in
the trailer and clear off the push -ram. It is estimated the
apparatus will save the County $1,800 annually.
Mr. Ogilvie and Mr. D'Angelo came forward to receive their
awards and the Board's appreciation of their suggestion.

B. Approval of FY 96/97 Radiological Emergency Preparedness Agreement
(FP&L Grant)
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 9/4/96:
TO: Board of County Commissioners
'�
THROUGH: Douglas Wright, Director
Department of Emergency Sdrvices
FROM: Nathan McCollum, Radiological Emergency Analyst�fl/�-�—
Division of Radiological Preparedness
DATE: September 4, 1996
SUBJECT: Approval of FY 96/97 Radiological Emergency Preparedness
Agreement (FP&L Grant)
It is respectfully requested that the information contained herein be
given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at
the next regular scheduled meeting.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
Each year representatives from the Florida Department of Community
Affairs, Florida Power and Light Company, and the Indian River County
Department of Emergency Services, negotiate the Radiological
Emergency Preparedness Agreement (Grant). The Agreement is
predicated on responsibilities defined by the United States Nuclear
Regulatory Commission in Rule 10 CFR, Part 50 and 70, -and NUREG 0654,
FEMA -REP -1, Revision 2.
During negotiations this year, an agreement was reached wherein
Indian River County will receive $64,490.00 in grant funds to enable
the County to carry out its responsibilities as provided in the above
referenced authorities. This represents a decrease of $210.00 from
the previous year.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
The Agreement provides for the County to participate in the following
radiological emergency planning and preparedness activities:
1. Recurring maintenance and major revisions to the local
radiological emergency plans and implementing procedures;
2. Participation in exercises and evaluation of exercises;
3. Provides funds for a full time REP Analyst position to
maintain plans, calibrate radiological monitoring
equipment, develop improved traffic control plans for
evacuation, improve procedures for reception and
decontamination center, and update shelter surveys required
for a host county.
4. Provides funds for administrative services to aid in REP
planning and administrative requirements.
5. Maintain close liaison with adjacent risk and host counties
for the purpose of interfacing emergency plans and
activities. _
10
September 10, 1996
This is the sixth year that FP&L has agreed to fund the salary,
benefits, and associated expenses for a t
requirements of the referenced authorities. Analyst to complete
he e of work nd
additional demands placed on counties by state andscofederal agencies
precluded county staff from completing the tasks on a part time basis
as was being done prior.
The REP Analyst position is 100% funded by FP&L. The salary and
benefit package mirrors the county personnel system. Funds are also
included for the vehicle allowance for the Analyst position.
Funds in the amount of $4,000 have been allocated to provide
administrative assistance -in planning functions related to
Radiological Emergency Preparedness, Response and Recovery. However,
no regular part-time employee service is required in this fiscal
year.
No new position will be created as a result of the acceptance of this
grant. It should be noted that if at any time the grant is not
funded by FP&L, the County would have no obligation to pick up the
expenses now covered by the grant.
The total salary and benefit package for the full time position and
the administrative assistance totals $50,990.00. The balance of the
$64,490.00 will be utilized in the maintenance of the multi -county
alphanumeric notification alert system and mandated power plant plan
development for the REP program in the county during the fiscal year.
RECOIrMNDATION
Staff recommends the Board approve the FY 96/97 Radiological
Emergency Preparedness Agreement as noted above and authorize the
Chairman to execute the necessary documents.
Staff also recommends approval of a budget amendment as necessary for
the funds to be received and allocated to the FP&L budget account.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved
the FY 96/97 Radiological Emergency Preparedness
Agreement, as recommended by staff.

The Board reviewed the following memo dated 9/4/96:
TO: The Board of County Commissioners
FROM: VC- William G..Gollins II - Deputy County Attorney
DATE: September 4, 1996
SUBJECT: Value Adjustment Board - Special Master
Property Appraiser David Nolte has advised the Value Adjustment Board at its
organizational meeting that there may be some complex commercial valuation
cases involving corporate -owned mobile home parks, communications companies,
etc. While it will not be known until the Value Adjustment Board filing
deadline of September 10, 1996 whether a special master is needed, the
members of the Value Adjustment Board wish to confer with their respective
bodies and obtain consent to the expenditure. The expense of hearings before
a special master and any compensation of special masters shall be borne
three-fifths by the Board of County Commissioners and two-fifths by the
School Board under state law.
Special master expenses have been estimated at -about $400.00 per day, thus
total expenses could run around $1,000.00 if an anticipated 2% days of
hearing were necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Concur in the Property Appraisers recommendation to appoint a special master
for complex cases with costs apportioned three-fifths to the County
Commission and two-fifths to.the School Board pursuant to F.S. 195.035(1).

The Honorable Fran B. Adams, Chairman

Indian River County Administration Building
1840 25th Street
Vero Beach, Florida 32960-3394
Dear Commissioner Adams:
The Indian River County Sheriffs Office, in its continued endeavor toward agency wide transition to the
Community Policing philosophy, wishes to participate in the Universal Hiring Program administered by the
Department of Justice, Office of Community Policing Services. Through this hiring program, federal grant
monies are available to help defray the salary and benefits costs of placing additional deputies on the road.
In addition to grant monies, revenues generated from housing county prisoners may be used to defray capital
and start up costs in the first year. Attached is a summary of costs over five (5) years.
As a much needed resource, the Sheriffs Office plans to hire nine (9) additional officers to be deployed
within the patrol zones. This strategy will not only augment existing personnel within the patrol fimction,
but will also allow for improved community policing coordination throughout the entire county, rather than
just specifically targeted areas. This grant initiative will provide manpower for the next phase of agency
wide COP transition, a Community Policing Specialist for each geographical area in the county.
Your support of the community and its desires for a "community" approach to policing has made it possible
for the Sheriffs Office to make great strides in its community policing accomplishments. Your continued
support is greatly appreciated and sought. I am therefore, requesting the Board's approval of this grant
application, and ask that this item be placed on the agenda for the Board of County Commissioner's next
scheduled meeting on Tuesday, September 10, 1996.
Should you have any questions, please call me at ext. 404. Thank you.
Sincerely,
GaryAWheeler,
Sheriff, Indian River County
GCW/ss

September 10, 1996
Commissioner Adams felt this is another one of government's
teaser grants. She was concerned that the County will have to pick
up the full cost after 3 years. She believed it is the Federal
government's way to get more police officers on the street and
provide a more politically palatable way for the community to fund
the expenses. She felt it is a real Catch 22 and had a hard time
supporting such a grant program.
Sheriff Gary Wheeler stressed that the need for more officers
is a result of the rapid growth we have experienced in Indian River
County.
Commissioner Adams asked how much economical development
growth went on the ad valorem tax roll, and Administrator Chandler
advised that this year our total tax roll increase is about 3.9%
and about 1.7% of that is actual construction. We are anticipating
more next fiscal year with both the DeBartolo mall and the Indian
River Plaza being completed prior to the end of December and
therefore being on the roll next year. However, we don't have any
real benefit this year.
Commissioner Macht felt that while we may not like the manner
in which this grant is offered, it is giving us an opportunity to
ease into this and defray the impact on the taxpayers.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Macht to approve the Sheriff's request
for approval of the submission of the grant
application as set out in his recommendation.
Under discussion, Commissioner Bird felt that what it really
boils down to is that the total package is $35,000 a year per
officer. If the Board feels that 9 additional officers are
justified, then we should approve the submission of the grant
application. If not, then it should not be approved.
Sheriff Wheeler emphasized that 9 additional officers will not
be sufficient at this time. We actually need to add more than 9
officers.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
The Motion passed unanimously.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. UW -96 -09 -DS
RESOLUTION III - PUBLIC HEARING
On August 20, 1996, the Indian River County Board of County
Commissioners approved Resolution I (96-98) and Resolution II (96-
99). Resolution I contained the preliminary assessment roll
describing the project and cost. Resolution II set the date of the
public hearing for the subject project. Property owners have been
notified of the public hearing by certified mail. Resolution I
(96-98) was published in the Vero Beach PRESS JOURNAL on August 26,
1996. (See attached agenda item and minutes of the above meeting.)
ANALYSIS
Design of the water distribution system is complete. An
informational meeting was held for the benefit of the property
owners on September 9, 1996. The total estimated cost to be
assessed is $38,709.00. The estimated cost per square foot is
$0.1344221. Approval of the attached Resolution III will confirm
and approve the preliminary assessment. The attached map displays
the area to benefit from the assessment project. This project is
to be paid through the assessment of property owners along the
proposed water line route. In the interim, financing will be
through the use of impact fee funds.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners approve Resolution III, which affirms
the preliminary assessment on the subject project.
Chairman Adams opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone
wished to be heard in this matter.
Larry Sowers, 950 5th Place, a resident for 6 years, stated
that he and his family support the project.
Kay Moss, 945 5th Place, advised that she is responsible for
the petition. She has lived in Hickory Sands for 9 years and the
water is bad.
Phyllis Johnston, 891 5th Place, strongly supported the
project, but was concerned that plans call for trenching in front
of the old live oak tree in front of her home. She had a tree
consultant come out and he told her that the only chance for the
tree to survive is to do a boring operation. That is her request
today, that a boring operation be done rather than trenching.

BOOK 99 psm 4
Mike Hotchkiss, Utilities environmental engineer, advised that
he had not been out there and the tree did not show up on the
survey, but obviously the tree is on the right-of-way. They will
make every effort to stay as far away from the tree as possible
during construction. He felt they would be able to avoid killing
the tree, but he could not guarantee a boring instead of a trench
because of the expense. It would not be fair to include that cost
in the assessment, but perhaps we could make a deal with the
contractor and you could pay him to bore.
Chairman Adams requested that Mr. Hotchkiss get some estimates
of the cost to bore around the tree.
Commissioner Tippin advised that the best time to trench is
around Christmas or January, depending on how cold it is. From now
on, the odds get much better.
Chairman Adams assured Mrs. Johnston that every effort would
be made to save the tree.
There being no others who wished to be heard, Chairman Adams
closed the Public Hearing.

Dear Mr. Chandler.
I am writing to request a hearing before the Board of County Commissioners
on Tuesday, September 10, 1996.
For sometime there has been a group of citizens working out a plan to build a
Gifford Youth Activity Center and plan a program that would be aimed for
the recreation, education and development of the youth and citizens of
Gifford.
We would lice to present our plan to the Board of County Commissioners and
ask them to join us in this very worthwhile undertaking.
Dan K. Richardson will contact each of the Commissioners and give them a
brief summary of this project before the meeting.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
A. &od4u�dsoan, Chairman

A. Ronald Hudson, Director of the Gifford Community Center,
presented a request for the County to join them in this partnership
with in-kind contributions and funding for staff and expenses
estimated at $110,000 a year:
8/20/96
THIS IS A BRIEF SUMMARY OF WHAT WE PLAN TO PRESENT TO THE
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ON SEPTEMBER 10 1996:
A group of citizens have been working for some time in putting
their ideas together to build a Gifford Youth Activities Center.
This is a Gifford Community project. We have a survey taken among
the citizens of the Gifford community wanting to volunteer and work
on the project. This survey explains the strong interest of the
citizens of Gifford to have a Youth Activities Center.
There is also a strong interest from other people in our community
to help and support this project:
Dr. Edwin Massey, President of the Indian River Community College -
Dr. David Sullivan - Provost of the I.R.Community College Mueller
Center Campus in Vero Beach worked on the survey and prepared it
for us.
Dr. Roger Dearing, Superintendent of our School Systems and the
Education Department has shown an interest and all of these people
have indicated that they will set up Programs for the Activities
Center. THIS IS THE KEY TO THE SUCCESS OF THE CENTER.
THIS IS NOT ONLY FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSES BUT IS FOR EDUCATIONAL
PURPOSES. WE PLAN TO HAVE A COMPUTER ROOM. PLAN TO HAVE OTHER
GROUPS IN THE COMMUNITY - LIKE ART CLUBS - THEATRE GROUPS - CENTER
FOR THE ARTS - UNITED WAY OF I.R.C. ENVIRONMENTAL LEARNING CENTER -
THE EDUCATION FOUNDATION OF I.R.C. AND SO FORTH. JUST TO MENTION
A FEW.
We have the interest of the Gifford and Vero Beach Communities and
we feel confortable we can raise funds to hire people to set up
these educational programs, however, the KEY to making this pro-
ject a success is to be able to hire a Director/Program Manager -
who has the ability to develope these programs, a Director's
Secretary and a Maintenance Person.
We are requesting that the County Commissioners set up a Special
Fund where they will support the Gifford Youth Activities Center
with $110,000.00 a year to take care of the salaries of these
individuals - insurance and electricity- WITHOUT THIS FINANCIAL
BACKING FROM THE COUNTY WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GO FORWARD WITH
THIS PROGRAM..
We have visited the Grant Street Community Center in Melbourne
where the County built a similar Youth Community Center -and takes
care of all the expenses.
We have not progressed far enough to have the exact cost of build-
ing this Youth Activities Center, however, we are estimating
between $500,000/$700,000.
The Dan and Marge Richardson family have
the building and plan to ask the citizen
them in this very worthwhile project.

Freddie Woolford, president of the Gifford Progressive Civic

Construction of this multi-purpose community center on Grant Street culminates many years of effort by the
Melbourne City Council, City officials, the Citizens Advisory Board, the South Melbourne Police Community Relations
Council, the ,Melbourne Police Athletic League and community groups.
Following receipt of recommendations from City staff, the Citizens Advisory Board and civic associations, the City
Council authorized a preliminary design study in 1985 to determine space requirements and cost estimates for the
building. The preliminary design study considered alternate sites for the building and established design criteria. The City
Council then budgeted $45,000 in 1986187 fiscal year for the preparation of construction plans and specifications. Upon
completion of these plans by the architects, Herrera, Williams & Powell, 5651.597 was budgeted for contruction. The
budget included Community Development Block Grant Program funds of S162,078 and a bond issue of S489,519. G & S
Contractors of Brevard began construction in December 1987, and the building was completed in July 1988.
The building will be operated by the City's Leisure Services Department, and used for recreation and community func-
tions. It contains a gymnasium/auditorium, meeting rooms. reception/lobby area, shower/locker rooms, public restrooms.
storage and mechanical room. The addition of a full kitchen has been authorized by City Council and will be completed
within the next few months. The building is air-conditioned, and is designed for future expansion. Sixty-four parking
spaces are available and the grounds are landscaped to make it both a functional facility and an attractive asset to the
community.

In summation, Mr. Dean explained that they are bringing $1
million to the table for a facility and in turn they would like to
work with this Commission as part of the overall solution to making
a difference in the community. They are asking to have a marriage.
Rev. Andrew Jefferson, member of the Pastoral Association
Focus Group, advised that in their evening evangelism program where
they go out on the street, young people tell them they have nothing
to do. They gather anywhere and begin to do mischief. He felt it
is the Commission's responsibility to support this effort for
establishing a Gifford Community Center.
GIFFORD COMMUNITY SURVEY
PASTORAL ASSOCIATION FOCUS GROUP
JUNE 19 1996
On Saturday morning, June 1, 1996, the Gifford Pastoral Association met and during
the meeting a Focus Group survey was conducted by Mrs. Ernestine Williams and Dr.
David Sullivan of Indian River Community College. This effort was a marketing project
satisfying Mrs. Williams' IRCC course requirement, and the findings will be presented to
support the planning of a new youth/family center in the Gifford community.
The following members of the Pastoral Association were present to participate in the
Focus Group:
1. Elder Author L. Manning Sr., Bethlehem Temple.
2. Elder Jack Buckner, Bible Way Church of God.
3. Pastor Andrew Jefferson, St. Peter's Missionary Baptist Church.
4. Reverend Quintin L. Parker, Mt. Zion A.M.E.
5. Reverend Donald Brown Sr., Church of God
6. Reverend James Pearce, Mt. Zion Baptist Church
The following questions were presented for discussion at the focus group:
1. Do you think there is a need for a youth/family activity center in our community?
2. If yes, which programs do you believe should be included at the center?
3. Would you be willing to participate at this center? In what ways do you think the
.community could participate to support this center?
4. What other concerns do you see as a priority for the community?
5. Please share any other comments or suggestions you may have.
Notes were taken and a cassette recording was made of the session. The cassette will
be presented along with the following summary of comments from the Focus Group.

Lionel Darrisaw, youth representative, spoke of the various
activities that could be planned at the community center, i.e.
movies and films, art, music and dance, computer training,
tutoring, etc.
Dr. Hudson concluded the presentation by asking the Board's
support of the Gifford Community Center.

Commissioner Eggert recalled that it was agreed the teen
center was needed years ago when the teen center was first
contemplated. She noted that drop outs occur at the 4th grade
level.
Dr. Hudson advised that the proposed budget includes only 3
paid staff members. They believe that the community has an
abundance of people who will volunteer for working in this
facility. The facility will be operated by the Gifford Progressive
Civic League with a board of directors who will set the policies
for staff members.
Commissioner Bird understood that the center would be built on
county -owned land and that basically the County would own the
building and the improvements on the underlying land and then lease
it back to the Gifford Progressive Civic League who would be in
charge of the day to day operation of it.
Dr. Hudson affirmed that to be correct.
Commissioner Bird understood then that what they are asking
the Commission to do today is to approve the concept; make the land
available; incorporate it into the overall master plan of the
Gifford Park which is approximately 40 acres; make certain in-kind
contributions as a part of the effort to get the building
constructed; and once the building is completed, make an initial
annual contribution of $110,000 towards the building's operating
expenses.
Dr. Hudson stated that is what they are asking today. They
expect the building will be completed and in full operation for the
summer of 1997. That is their hope. For their cooperation and
efforts in this endeavor, he wished to acknowledge and thank Dr. Ed
Massey, president of IRCC; Dr. Roger Dearing, superintendent of IR
School District; and Dr. Sullivan and Dr. Johnston of IRCC.
Administrator Chandler suggested that we meet with Dr. Hudson
to specifically identify the County's contribution/participation in
dollar amounts. It appears there will be operating and capital
expenses, which would involve some hard dollars whether it be fees,
landscaping or parking improvements. Administrator Chandler felt
a recommendation for sources of funding could be brought back to
the Board rather quickly.
38
September 10, 1996
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by _
Commissioner Tippin, that the Board give conceptual
approval for the Gifford Community Center and give
direction to staff to bring back the details on the
actual cost of the in-kind contributions, and
establish a separate category for annual operating
costs.
Under discussion, Bill Koolage of Vista Gardens felt this is
similar to the community's effort years ago to get the Housing
Authority started. He stressed that the children of the community
are the responsibility of all governmental bodies. He emphasized
that much has been said about helping the scrub jays, but building
this community center is where we can really make a difference for
the children.
Commissioner Macht confirmed that his Motion was for conceptual
approval and direction to staff to bring back details on all costs
associated with the County's participation.
Commissioner Bird recognized Mr. and Mrs. Dan Richardson and
family members sitting in the audience and thanked them for their
tremendous generosity in helping to build this community center.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION
and the Motion passed unanimously.

DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
On August 1, 1995, staff recommended and the Board approved a 58th Avenue
right-of-way agreement with the Indian River Farms Water Control District. The
agreement contained seven conditions pertaining to the County's request to
continue occupying the west 55' of the District's Lateral "B" canal right-of-way for
road purposes. The County is acquiring an additional 56' wide right-of-way west
of Lateral "B" canal right-of-way to widen Kings Highway. Condition number three
of the Agreement (see Attorney Michael O'Haire's July 7, 1995 -letter attached)
requires the County to hold a public meeting with property owners adjacent to the
District right-of-way where clearing is performed. This meeting is "an opportunity
for the public to be heard and answered."
On August 20, 1996. beginning at 7:00 PM, staff, the design consultants Kimley-
Horn & Assoc., and representatives from the Indian River Farms Water Control
District met with adjacent property owners to explain the proposed clearing of
primarily Brazilian peppers located in the east 35' of the District's Lateral "B"
canal right-of-way. This vegetation is located west of a City of Vero Beach
overhead electric line. The vast majority of the approximate 50 persons there were
property owners in the Kingswood Estates Subdivision.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
Many property owners adjacent to Lateral "B" canal right-of-way who attended the
meeting have expressed their concerns in a letter _dated August 20, 1996 to
Commissioner Bird. The main concerns are:
1) Safety of the neighborhoods - The existing vegetation in the canal right-of-
way provides a visual barrier between Kings Highway and the Subdivision.
The motorists traveling on Kings Highway cannot see Kingswood Estates
Subdivision. Staff concurs with the desirability of a vegetative buffer along
the -east side of Lateral "B" Canal right-of-way. The original developer
included a 10' wide buffer along the west side of Kingswood Estates, but
they did not plant the buffer strip. Eventually, the City of Vero Beach will
need to clear the Brazilian peppers to access the electric power line, located
east of the canal. The physical canal is 60' wide. Therefore, motorists along
Kings Highway will not be able to access the subdivision from the west. The
community also has a security gate at the 16th Street entrance.
2) Children's Safety - The vegetation provides a deterrent because children
cannot see or access the canal. A buffer is desirable for this purpose.
however, the City of Vero Beach Power line will have to be accessed at some
time. The clearing is inevitable, and a better location for the buffer is
farther east in the 10' wide. buffer strip originally platted. In this buffer
strip. the property owners of Kingswood estates can control the density of
vegetation and permanence.
3) Sound Barrier - The vegetation provides a sound barrier to mitigate impacts
of increased traffic. The existing Kings Highway pavement is approximately
150' from existing homes in Kingswood Estates and adjacent areas. Traffic
will increase along the roadway. A new vegetative buffer in the platted 10'
buffer strip east of the Lateral "B" Canal right-of-way will reduce noise is
desired.
September 10, 1996

M M
4) Environment - There are a number of birds, turtles, and other aiumals
living in the vegetation. The vegetation is predominately Brazilian pepper.
The canal right-of-way was completely cleared in the early 1980's due to the
City powerline construction and development of the subdivision. In
communicating with the City of Vero Beach Electrical T & D Department
(Larry Raisor), woodpeckers have damaged the timber poles, and the City
is planning to rebuild the line in 3-4 years. They are already having trouble
with the line. The City can perform localized, selective clearing to access
their pole line and not clear the entire right-of-way east of the canal.
5) Privacy - Clearing the vegetation and building the access road east of the
canal will eliminate privacy. Once cleared, the canal right-of-way and
access road will be gated at both ends to avoid use by the public.
6) - Kingswood Estates is a "Lone Residential Area" and canal maintenance
access roads do not exist next to residential areas. There are many
residential areas where a canal maintenance access road exists. For
example, Forest Lake Subdivision. Vero Beach Country Club area, Tunber
Ridge, etc. all have canal maintenance roads.
7) The canal right-of-way clearing will reduce property values - If a new buffer
is planted in the 10' buffer area between Kingswood Estates Subdivision
and the Lateral "B" Canal right-of-way, there should not be a reduction in
property values in the area.
8) Canal Maintenance can be conducted west of the Canal. The County staff.
consultants, and Drainage District have considered many alternatives to
clearing the canal right -of --way, including moving the 138 KV electrical line
west of the road, purchasing specialized equipment, and eliminating the
guardrail proposed between the road and the canal. These options are
either cost prohibitive or unsafe. On December 18, 1990, the Board
considered three alternatives and approved widening Kings Highway to four
lanes between the 138 KV FPL powerline on the west side of the road and
Lateral "B" Canal. On August 1, 1995, the Canal right-of-way clearing was
approved. Staff is of the opinion that the Drainage District and City of Vero
Beach both have the need to access the canal from the east canal right -of-
way -
At the public meeting, staff recommended that a new vegetation buffer be
constructed in the platted 10' buffer area shown on the Kingswood Estates
Subdivision plat. In the past. the County has not funded the construction of
buffer improvements on private property unless the County offered to do so as a
Part of right-of-way acquisition where additional road right-of-way was being
acquired (for example. Vista Gardens along Indian River. Indian River
Boulevard -Phase 3. Vista Plantation along 66th Ave., etc.). Private developments
such as Fairlane Harbor Mobile Home Park and Grand Harbor have funded the
cost of buffers..The County did fund the planting of Red Cedar trees within the
County owned CR512 right-of-way and the construction of the Vista Harbor wall
within the Indian River Boulevard right-of-way. In the case of Kingswood Estates
Subdivision, the project does not have road frontage on the Kings Highway
roadway easement west of the Canal.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
Staff recommends that the Kings Highway widening project proceed to
construction as designed Removal of the Lateral "B" Canal vegetation should be
mitigated by establishment of a vegetative buffer within the 10' platted buffer strip
area along the west property line of Kingswood Estates Subdivision. Funding of
the vegetation should have been by the original developer. Since this was not so,
staff suggests that a cooperative effort be initiated whereby the Property Owners
Association would purchase the plants and the County Public Works Department
would provide the labor to install them.
Public Works Director Jim Davis advised that at the public
meeting with the property owners in Kingswood Estates staff
recommended that removal of the canal vegetation be mitigated by
establishment of a vegetation buffer within the 10 -ft. wide buffer
strip area along the west property line of Kingswood Estates
Subdivision. Funding of the vegetation should have been by the
original developer. Since this was not so, staff suggests that a
cooperative effort be initiated whereby the Property Owners'
Association would purchase the plants and the County Public Works
Department would provide the labor to plant them.
Commissioner Eggert asked if the planting would be done early
in the project so the residents would have that protection during
the widening.
Director Davis explained that the buffer could be planted once
the Brazilian pepper trees are cleared and an access road is
stabilized.
Capital Projects Manager Terry Thompson showed slide films of
the 25 -ft. stabilized area.
Chairman Adams asked if there are any wax myrtles available
from any of the County's projects that we could transplant in that
area, but Commissioner Tippin cautioned about the difficulty in
transplanting wax myrtles.
Director Davis reported that they have found it more
economical to buy nursery stock than to transplant. He stressed
that he feels it is important to be consistent in these
buffering/mitigation matters on road widening projects.
Chairman Adams opened the public discussion and asked if
anyone wished to be heard in this matter.
Alice White, Executive Aide to the Board of County
Commissioners, advised that as of this date 23 letters identical to
the one shown below have_ been received from the residents of

We the residents of Kingswood Estates are gravely concerned about the plans of the Indian River Farms
Water Control District and Indian River County to clear the Lateral "B" Canal Right of way on the east
side from the Main Canal to 12th Street along 58th Avenue.
Not only for all of as, but also for those of you who own a home, it is the single most expensive and
important investment we win take on in our lifetime. All of us contribute a great percentage of our income
for many years to pay for our home, not to mention the responsibilities that come with it, i.e. taxes, up.
keep, etc.
Ones home is a place to raise our families. It is our safe haven from all of the crazy things that are going
on in the world today.
One of the major reasons we purchased a home in Kingswood Estates is that the development offered a
relatively secure and out-of-the-way place;
• only one road in and out - a bridge across the 16th Street Canal.
• protected on two sides (North & West) by canals.
• South side is hidden by a major grove.
• East side is protected by a private road, in addition to a residential area which is also served
by one road in and out.
What this means is:
• Kingswood Estates has been safe from intruders for as long as most can remember.
The trees and shrubs on the east side of the Lateral B Canal provide a number of very important features,
especially in light of the new Indian River Mall and the widening of 58th Avenue. They provide:
SECURITY -when traveling on 58th Avenue today, you don't realize there is a residential area on the
other side of the canal because of the current line of trees and vegetation. If the clearing proceeds, we will
all become a prime target for crime - our neighborhood will be put on display for all criminals as they pass
by on 58th Avenue.
43
September 10, 1996
MMx 99 4a 64
CHILDREN'S SAFETY - There are many families with young children in our neighborhood. While the
canal provides a major benefit in security, it also provides an enormous amount of risk to our children.
The tree and vegetation line on the east side of the canal provides a safety barrier for them. The current
growth it is so thick, a young child can not get through it. This barrier also serves as a deterrent because
the children can not see the canal, thus, they are not tempted to explore and place themselves in great
danger.
The current trees and vegetation also provide an excellent sound barrier between Kingswood Estates and
the 58th Avenue traffic. With the opening of the Indian River Mall and the expected major increase in
traffic, the decibel (dB) noise level would increase tremendously in our neighborhood if the trees and
vegetation are removed.
One of our residents is an environmentalist who has noted *a number of species of birds, turtles and other
animals living in and among the trees and vegetation along the east side of the canal along 58th Avenue.
To remove the trees and shrubs would destroy the natural habitat of these creatures. This will be detailed
in a separate letter, in addition the various environmental organizations will be contacted
The trees and vegetation along the east side of the canal provide a curtain of privacy. Without this, the
entire neighborhood would be on display 24 hours a day. Our children, who seem to constantly play
outside, will become prime targets to the crimes that are so prevalent in our society today. The access road
will only assist the criminal in doing these horrible crimes.
A home is where we all should feel safe and secure. It is where we spend most of our time. We should be
able to enjoy our environment. To force this change upon the residents of Kingswood Estates is in
violation of the one thing that we work so hard and strive for, the American Dream, owning a home.
A canal maintenance access road next to a residential area with young children, probably does not exist
anywhere in Vero Beach today. Why should this be the fust?
When we bought our homes in Kingswood Estates, we were made aware that a mall may come and 58th
Avenue may be widened. No one was ever made aware that the trees and vegetation that serve as a buffer
would be destroyed. As recent as one or two months ago for some new residents, they were never
informed'prior to purchasing property in Kingswood Estates. Had we been aware of this, we would have
never invested in this neighborhood.

If the proposed clearing is carried out. the value of the property will decrease. Current residents will
experience reduced selling prices on their homes. Future residents will stay away or will only buy at a
reduced price to compensate for the lack of security, privacy, increased noise, etc.
This should not be forced upon anyone, unless the county offers to buy the property or compensate the
residents for depressed market values. The bottom line is that this does not have to happen. The canal can
be maintained in its usual manner from the west side every 8 - 12 months as is done today. Cleaning the
canal up to twice a year does not justify all of this despair and disruption.
The 58th Avenue canal is currently, and has been as long as most can remember, maintained from the west
side. We also understand that the maintenance of the canal south of 12th Street along 58th Avenue will
continue to be maintained from the west side of.the canal. Why is it that from 12th Street north, it is
proposed to destroy the scenic beauty of the tree line along the canal and destroy the peace and quality of
life for the Kingswood Estate residents?
The Water Control District operates several drag -lines dnd a pneumatic ditch digger to maintain the canals
in our area. The drag line is capable of continuing to operate on the west side of the canal and is capable to
operate behind guard rails and road curbs.
We are trying to point out that it is not necessary to disrupt the lifestyle of Kingswood Estates residents and
certainly not necessary to destroy the beauty and habitat of the environment along the canal and our
neighborhood. It is not feasible and doesn't have any merit, especially since the canal maintenance is
performed only once in eight to twelve months. To close one of five lanes on 58th Avenue for up to 4
blocks for one or two days during off peak hours, clearly is more practical versus destroying the habitat
and environment along the canal and.
substantially hindering the safety of our children and
neighborhood
removing all privacy.
lowering property values.
Another alternative is to expand 58th Avenue to the west and have the mall developer supply the funds for
the moving of the utility poles as it was in the original development plan. The poles step down to smaller
poles on 12th Street just east of 58th Avenue, thus they do not have to be replaced with such large and
costly poles
Due to the importance of this issue, we the residents of Kingswood Estates request a public hearing before
the Board of County Commissioners. Until this matter is resolved, we would not expect to see any work
commencing on the clearing of any land on the east side of the Lateral B Canal from 12th Street northward.
We wish to thank you for taking the time to hear our voices on this matter. We look forward to working
with you in reaching an agreeable solution.
Yours truly,
Resid ts f Kingswood Es es

Max 99 "f 'Ini 65,
Andy Cindric, Lot 12 in Kingswood Estates, advised that his
property abuts the southern end of the canal. He questioned the
necessity of widening Kings Highway to 5 lanes, maintaining that
the numbers are just not showing that we must have a 4 -lane road
from SR -60 to 12th Street. With the aid of the overhead projector,
Mr. Cindric presented numerous materials in his argument against
the widening project, some of which are:
1) Gee & Jensen Report
2) Executive Summary dated June, 1995
3) IRC Comprehensive Plan - Traffic Circulation
4) Urban Area Plan (to the year 2020)
5) Long-range Transportation Planning Reports 1,2, & 3
6) IRC Links Detail Report
7) Memo from Public Works Director Jim Davis to BCC dated
8/27/96.
In conclusion, Mr. Cindric reiterated that they are asking the
Board to take a closer look at all the available alternatives.
Director Davis pointed out that the Links report that Mr.
Cindric referred to already shows Kings Highway as a 4 -lane road.
Commissioner Bird asked how much we have spent up until now on
this project, and Director Davis advised that we paid $50,000 for
the Gee & Jensen study and the 1987 study was done by staff in-
house. The consulting fees paid to date are $800,000, but that
includes the replacement of 7 bridges across the Lateral B Canal
and the north expansion of Kings Highway. It is the largest
project we have undertaken and so far it is $1.5 million. In
addition, acquisition of right-of-way down that corridor amounts to
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Commissioner Bird agreed with the need for a 4 -lane road and
emphasized that we have made a major commitment to this project
that would be difficult to back off from. He sympathized with the
residents regarding the removal of the vegetation. The fact is
that if we were not doing that road, we would not have to remove
that vegetation. If the residents would find it a compromise, he
would feel justified in agreeing to putting some type of wall or
fence (or something) along the 9 or 10 lots on the west property
line of Kingswood Estates and move on with the project.
46
September 10, 1996
Commissioner Eggert sympathized with the residents about the
removal of the vegetation, and stated that she would be supportive
of the County paying for some type of buffer. She would like to
see a wall and vegetation.
Ron Lambert, 1451 W. 56th Square, one of the 9 lot owners
abutting the canal, stated that his main objection is the clearing
of the vegetation. He has two small children and is afraid they
might fall into the canal. He believed he speaks for all the
parents in the subdivision in saying that they would prefer have a
concrete wall over just vegetation.
Tom Schlitt, owner of property in Kingswood Estates, spoke
about his understanding of the traffic capacities on Kings Highway.
He believed this improvement is being made to carry the traffic
that will be generated by the new mall. He believed we would be
building a mega road that does not need to exist along the
residential areas along Kings Highway. Mr. Schlitt supported a S-
lane approach and a practical way of building lanes without
stacking traffic back to 16th Street to access SR -60.
Yvonne Cindric, resident of Kingswood Estates, spoke as a
concerned taxpayer and parent, even though her children were grown.
She urged the Board to consider the safety of the children and
authorize a reevaluation of this project.
Skip Barkett, a resident west of Kings Highway, understood the
concerns of the Kingswood Estates residents for their children, but
if they are asking that the concrete power poles be relocated
further west, then that would impact the residents on the west side
of Kings Highway. His property is in citrus and he would not like
to see the poles moved as part of the solution.
Mike Burns, 1570 56th Court, treasurer of the Property Owners'
Association, stated that their main concern in having the
vegetation cleared along the canal is the safety of their children.
He pointed out that the clearing must be maintained continually.
Mr. Burns noted that neighbors Dave Koulish and Dr. O'Brien had to
leave before they had a chance to voice their concerns about the
safety and other issues.
Mr. Burns reiterated the Property Owners' Association request
for the Board to send the project back to be reevaluated to see if
a 4 -lane road is needed right now and whether a 3 -lane road is
sufficient until such time that we need to move the road further
west.
47
September 10, 1996
I
Commissioner Bird did not see a 3 -lane road as a compromise at
this point nor at some point in the future.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, to approve going ahead with the
project as scheduled and designed, but agree to
construction of a wall on the 10 -ft. wide portion
for a buffer and once that is completed, it will
become the property of the association and the
residents can plant vegetation in front of it.
Under discussion, Commissioner Eggert asked if it would be
possible to put up temporary fencing while the clearing is being
done, and Director Davis said that we could put up red construction
fencing.
Chairman Adams felt this would be setting a precedent and
might cripple future road expansion projects if we had to build
walls as buffers to neighborhoods. She noted that if she had a
concern about the safety of her children, she would have her yard
fenced. She didn't know that it was the County's responsibility to
fence that area in terms of a concrete wall. She wouldn't mind
something affordable whether it is buffering or a chain-link fence,
but building a concrete wall would set a precedent. Chairman Adams
believed that if the project is dangerous to the point we are going
to set this type of precedent, then we need to take a look at the
project. However, if this is a normal road widening project, then
we have a kink here and we should address the kink. She wasn't
sure that the wall does that:
Commissioner Eggert felt we could look at what is unique about
the project and what we are doing with that wall ... so that it is
not necessarily setting a precedent.
Commissioner Macht asked about the developer's responsibility,
and Community Development Director Bob Keating advised that the
original developer was not required to put up a barrier. This is
not a double frontage lot situation because there is a canal
between the road and the subdivided property. If the lots came
right up'to the road right-of-way, our current requirements would
mandate a double frontage buffer which would mean some kind of a
wall or fence.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion
carried by a 4 -1 -vote, Chairman Adams dissenting.

CAIRNS TRACT LAAC SITE ACQUISITION - PARTIAL ASSIGNMENT
OF OPTION TO THE STATE (Tabled from 8/27/96 BCC Meeting,)
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 9/4/96:
TO: James E. Chandler
County Administrator
D A TMENT HEAD CONCURRENCE:
obert M. KedtinJ4 AICD
Community Develop ent rector
FROM: Roland M. DeBlois, AICP
Chief, Environmental Planning
DATE: September 4, 1996
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO APPROVE PARTIAL ASSIGNMENT OF OPTION TO THE
STATE: CAIRNS TRACT LAAC SITE ACQUISITION (TABLED FROM
08/27/96 COMMISSION MEETING)
It is requested that the information herein presented be given
formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its
regular meeting of September 10, 1996.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
On August 27, 1996, staff requested that the Board of County
Commissioners approve a "Partial Assignment of Option Agreement"
relating to the Cairns Tract environmental lands acquisition (see
attached agenda item). Since this purchase involves a 50% cost -
share from the State Conservation and Recreation Lands (CARL)
program, under which the State receives full title, the issue is
whether the County has sufficient assurance that the Cairns
property will remain in its intended conservation use in
perpetuity. At the August 27, 1996 meeting, the Board voted to
table its decision on whether to approve the Partial Assignment of
Option until the County Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (LAAC)
reviewed the matter and made a recommendation to the Board.
Subsequently, staff presented the proposed Agreement to LAAC at the
Committee's meeting on August 28, 1996. After some discussion, LAAC
voted 12 to 1 to recommend that the Board not accept the Partial
Assignment language as written (see attached LAAC motion summary).
ANALYSIS
Although LAAC voted to recommend that the Commission not approve
the Partial Assignment language - because the language does not
guarantee conservation use in perpetuity - LAAC was in general
consensus that the Cairns Tract is environmentally significant and
should be conserved.
In its motion on the Partial Assignment language, LAAC was not
specific on which alternatives the County should pursue. However,
when posed with the alternative of the County paying 100% of
acquisition costs (+$10.6 million), at least some LAAC members
voiced strong opposition (although no vote was taken on this
alternative).
49
Se tember 10 1996
P WOK `99WI
If the Board votes to reject the Partial Assignment language and
directs staff to pursue alternatives with the state beyond what has
already been negotiated, then the County will at minimum need to
secure from the seller a 60 day extension to the County's purchase
Option. The seller, Robert Cairns, has told staff that if the
Option is to be further extended, the County AA)( need to provide
compensation beyond the $100 option fee that has already been paid.
Mr. Cairns has indicated that he will be at the September 10, 1996
Commission meeting to answer any questions.
Staff maintains its recommendation (presented to the Board on
August 27, 1996) that, although the Partial Assignment of Option
Agreement does not provide an absolute guarantee that the Cairns
Tract will forever remain in its intended conservation use, the
Agreement is sufficient because the county's 50 year lease
arrangement - coupled with P2000 surplus restrictions and local
land use controls - provides practical assurance that the Cairns
Tract will stay in its intended conservation use.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize
the Board Chairman to execute the Partial Assignment of Option
Agreement, as written, subject to the County obtaining a lease
acceptable to County staff, and authorize staff to continue with
closing of the Cairns Tract in coordination with the State. (Note:
staff is requesting that the Board approve two separate Partial
Assignment of Option Agreements for the Cairns Tract: one for the
portion of -the project owned by Robert Cairns as trustee, and one
for the portion owned by Robert Cairns as an individual.)
Commissioner Macht reported that the LAAC members were asked
point blank whether their objections to the purchase pertained to
the characteristics of the property or the cost. Their answer was
clearly the cost. They supported the desirability of acquiring the
property.
Commissioner Macht stated that he has had a very difficult
time with this purchase. He sees the desirability of purchasing
the property, but he also fears that the opportunity to purchase it
may be lost. Considering the uniqueness of the property, it would
be irreplaceable. Thus, he has come to the conclusion that he
would support staff's recommendation with the proviso that the
50
September 10, 1996
� O
r _ �
Commission direct staff to pursue a level of ownership that would _
guarantee ownership in perpetuity. Commissioner Macht felt, after
talking to some of our legislators, there may be a possibility of
legislative relief on this. On that basis and in view of the type
and nature of this property, he would move to approve staff's
recommendation. -
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, to approve staff's
recommendation and pursue ownership of the property
through legislature.
Under discussion, Commissioner Eggert stated she would like to
go for the right of first purchase if the State ever decided to go
through the surplus property process. She doubted that they ever
would, but she felt we should do whatever we can just to back it
up.
Attorney Vitunac advised that his office is comfortable that
the 50 -year lease protects the interests for which the bond was
passed. As Commissioner Macht said, the committee, Chairman Adams
and State Representative Charles Sembler have been exploring 3 or
4 other avenues that would give us the desired perpetuity, but we
don't want to derail this purchase while we work on that.
Commissioner Tippin supported the Motion because he did not
believe the State would turn that property into a monkey show after
50 years.
Chairman Adams felt this is one of the most significant
properties the County will acquire overall and one that will be an
incredible asset to this county. She was delighted that this was
rehashed and brought back because we need to seize the moment,
close this, and move ahead. She cautioned that the acquisition of
the Fischer tract is right behind this and it is exactly the same
type of purchase. We have the opportunity to go back and work with
State staff to do an amendment to this that would at least give us
the first right of refusal if the State ever decides to surplus
that property. Chairman Adams stressed that it gives us a double
hold on our control of that property for half of our investment.
She believed it is a win, win situation. State staff has indicated
a willingness to work with us on both an amendment and the Fischer
tract. She felt those are very positive signs that they want to be
as committed as we are. One of the reasons she has been
apprehensive on this is that she didn't want the pressure on this
to jeopardize the Coraci piece that is in the surplus process.
Commissioner Bird cautioned that the right of first refusal to
51
September 10, 1996 BSEXY71
Does 99 fAq 7
purchase the property from the State would not assure us of today's
price.
Jim Granse, member of the LAAC committee, pointed out that
this property is located one quarter of a mile south between the
Disney Resort and the Grand Harbor Beach Club and for some reason
the beach mouse and the turtle always turn up on the property the
County wants to buy. These critters weren't at the Disney Resort
nor the Grand Harbor Beach Club, and they are not at the Windsor
Club. But, by gosh, those little critters are on this property.
Mr. Granse then compared the price per acre of nearby
developments to the $100,000 per acre for this property, noting
that just two years ago 28 acres of this 104 acres sold for
$43,000. He felt that should have established the value of the
land, but it didn't. This is an increase of $57, 000 an acre in
less than 2 years. "WOW, isn't that something?", Mr. Granse
remarked.
Mr. Granse emphasized that the County would be paying $5
million price for the land and losing a potential tax base of $100
million. After all that, the State would maintain the title on
this property, and Mr. Granse stated that was difficult for him to
understand. He questioned whether this deal is illegal, because
the bond issue sure wasn't sold to the taxpayers that way. It was
never told to the taxpayers of Indian River County that we would be
buying any environmentally sensitive lands without holding the
title to the property.
William Roolage of Vista Gardens strongly supported Jim
Granse's stand and urged the Board to give people more concern and
forget the scrub jay, turtles, and beach mice.
Commissioner Bird stated that he planned to vote against the
Motion because he felt that the intention of the voters in the bond
referendum was that we would be taking title to any property that
was purchased. He didn't know how it got off the track, but he
would feel more comfortable if the County held the deed to the
—property. Commissioner Bird believed the County Commission needs
the flexibility to dispose of a particular piece of property if the
situation so deems, but this type of lease arrangement would not
allow that.
Commissioner Eggert commented that when we went out for the
referendum, we explained the different ways we were going to take.
We talked about the CARL program and the Land Trust process. _If
52
September 10, 1996
people didn't understand, it is because they didn't listen to the
explanations. This is not something that suddenly popped up this
year. That was part of the talks given at various places in the
county.
Commissioner Bird recalled that he made several of those
speeches and believed that if we had told people that we were going
to spend $5 million to lease 100 acres of land, he was not sure
whether that referendum would have passed.
Commissioner Eggert felt the goal was conservation and that
was important, too.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION and the Motion
passed by a 4-1 vote, Commissioner Bird dissenting.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. UW -96 -18 -DS
BACKGROUND
On August 13, 1996, the Indian River Board of County Commissioners
approved the above project and approved temporary water service to
Alan R. Schommer, in advance of the construction of the entire
project. (See attached agenda item.) In lieu of providing the 2 -
inch water line for temporary water service, which would ultimately
become useless, we agreed (as part of the temporary service
agreement) to expedite the construction of an 8 -inch jack and bore
across US 1 and to provide Mr. Schommer with a credit on a future
assessment. (See the attached agenda and agreement.)
This 8 -inch line would be required as part of the overall project
at a point in the system for purposes of line looping. As a result
of discussions with Mr. Schommer and the expeditious need for
service, a 2 -inch temporary line will be provided and, therefore,
Article 2 of the agreement is null and void with respect to a
credit for fees paid toward the future assessment. We are
proposing to have the project survey completed by our continuing
services survey firm (Masteller, Moler, and Reed, Inc.) for
projects in excess of $10,000.00. (Please see the attached
proposal.)
56
September 10, 1996
ANALYSIS
The negotiated survey fee is $11,700.00. (See attached contract
for details.) Once the survey is complete, we will proceed with
the design and permitting for the assessment project as outlined in
our previous BCC approvals.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners approve the project as outlined above
and authorize the approval of the attached contract with Masteller,
Moler, and Reed, Inc., as presented.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously (4-0,
Commissioner Tippin temporarily absent) approved the
project as outlined in staff's recommendation and
approved the contract with Masteller, Moler, and
Reed, Inc., as presented.
