G. Modification to Premium Conversion Plan - Payment of Health
Insurance Payments
The Board reviewed a Memorandum of September 5, 1996:
TO: The Board of County Commissioners
FROM: William G. Collins II - Deputy County Attorney
DATE: September 5, 1996
SUBJECT: Modification to Premium Conversion Plan
The Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County adopted a Premium
Conversion Plan effective January 1, 1995 which qualifies the County under
IRS rules for the use of pre-tax dollars for the payment of health insurance
premiums.
Our new stop loan underwriter, John Alden insurance Company, requires that
new individuals added to the plan as new dependents through other.,'than a
change of familial status must undergo an individual medical evaliafion to
determine adjustments if any to underwriting premiums for those new
dependents being added to the plan. It has been recommended by Mackie
Branham, our insurance consultant, that this rule of the stop loss
underwriter be specifically incorporated into our Premium Conversion Plan.
The rule is consistent with current policy of requiring new insureds to
present evidence of insurability before being added to the County self-funded
health insurance plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the attached Modification to the Premium Conversion Plan adding as
Article 7.09, an "Insurance Control" Clause, under Article VII,
Administration of Plan.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved
the Modification to Premium Conversion Plan for
Indian River County, as recommended by staff.
H. Gifford School Park - Release of Drainage Easements
The Board reviewed a Memorandum of September 10, 1996:
TO: The BoardofCty Commissioners
FROM: William G las II - Deputy County Attorney
DATE: September 10, 1996
SUBJECT- Gifford School Park - Release of Drainage Easements
In 1994 Gifford Groves, Ltd. granted Indian River County three easements for
drainage across Blocks 2, 3 and 4 of Gifford School Park Subdivision.
Apparently the intent of the three drainage easements was to establish a
drainage plan for Blocks 2, 3 and 4 of the subdivision, creating a 20-foot-
wide
0-footwide drainage easement running north and south along the center of Blocks 2
and 4 (10 feet on each side of the rear lot lines) and the west 20 feet of
Block 3.
However, in an attempt to secure permanent financing for 23 homes in the
subdivision, the developer has discovered that the legal description
contained in each drainage easement does not accomplish what was originally
intended, but rather the easements run through three lots in which homes have
been subsequently built over the easements.
The developer's attorney has requested that a determination be made as to
whether the three drainage easements granted to Indian River County can be
terminated and whether substitute easements will need to be created, so that
the developer can continue to pursue permanent financing.

BOOK
Recognizing that time is of the essence for the developer, and in an effort
to expeditiously resolve this matter, staff recommends that the Board
authorize the Chairman to execute any releases of easements or corrective
easements concerning easements recorded at O.R. Book 1022, Page 788; O.R.
Book 1022, Page 789; and O.R. Book 1022, Page 790, COMITIONAL upon the
Public Works Department completing the necessary review of the drainage plan
and easements already in place from which a determination can be made as to
whether additional easements will be required or whether drainage easements
in place will fulfill the drainage plan for Blocks 2, 3 and 4 AND to
authorize staff to acquire any necessary substitute drainage easements
SIIIOI.TAMOUS with any releases of easements.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously authorized
the Chairman to execute any releases of easements or
corrective easements and authorized staff to acquire
any necessary substitute drainage easements,
pursuant to recommendations by staff.

SUBJECT: Dixie Oak Manor Inc. Is Request for Special Exception Use
Approval to Expand an Existing Adult Congregate Living
Facility
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of September 17, 1996.
DESCRIPTION. CONDITIONS. AND BACKGROUND:
Mosby and Associates, Inc., on behalf of Dixie Oak Manor, Inc., has
submitted an application for special exception use approval and
major site plan approval to expand an existing adult congregate
living facility (ACLF) from 19 to 29 beds. Located at 6410 Old
Dixie Highway, approximately 1/10th of a mile south of 65th Street
on the east side of Old Dixie Highway, the subject site is located
within a CL zoning district. Special exception use approval must
be granted by the county for the existing ACLF to be expanded to
the extent proposed.
On June 7, 1994, the Board of County Commissioners granted special
exception use approval to construct the 19 bed facility. The
facility was subsequently constructed and issued a certificate of
occupancy on August 7, 1995. The owner has purchased an additional
parcel to the south of the existing facility and is now proposing
an expansion. The parcel to the south contains an existing
Southern Bell switching station, which will remain after the
expansion is completed.
Pursuant to Section 971.05 of the LDRs, the Board of County
Commissioners is to consider the appropriateness of the requested
use based on the submitted site plan and suitability of the site
for that .use. The Board'may approve, approve with conditions or
deny the special exception use. The County may attach any
conditions and safeguards necessary to mitigate impacts and to
ensure compatibility of the use with the surrounding area.
At its August 22, 1996 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission
voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend that the Board of County
Commissioners approve the special exception use request, and also
voted unanimously to approve the major site plan application
subject to Board approval of the special exception use request.
Therefore, if the Board approves the special exception use request,
the major site plan approval will become effective.
ANALYSIS•
1. Zoning Classification: CL (Limited Commercial)
2. Land Use Designation: C/I, Commercial/Industrial
3. size of site:
Existing parcel: 36,543 sq. ft.
Proposed additional parcel_:_ 17,637 sa. ft.
Total site: 54,180 sq. ft. or 1.24 acres
Since the area of development contains two parcels, the
developer will be required to execute and record a unity of
title to combine the two parcels, prior to site plan release.
SEPTEMBER 17, 1996 16
4. Density: Maximum: 29 beds on 1.24 acres
Proposed: 29 beds on 1.24 acres
The number of beds allowed is calculated as required in LDR
section 971.28(3). The CL district is equivalent to the RM -8
zoning district for residential density purposes. The density
calculations are as follows:
1.24 acres X 8 units/acre = 9.92 units/acre
9.92 units/acre X 2 people/unit = 19.84 people/acre
19.84 people/acre X 1.5 multiplier = 29.76 people or beds
allowed
The adjacent contiguous property is all zoned CL, which does
not affect the density calculation. The property to the west
was not used in determining the density since it is
industrially zoned and physically separated from the subject
property by Old Dixie Highway and the FEC railroad. The
project will receive a density credit for right-of-way donated
to the county for Old Dixie Highway.
5. Building Area: -Existing: 6,424 sq. ft.
Proposed. 4.042 sa. ft.
Total: 10,466 sq. ft.
6. Impervious Surface Area: Existing: 11,238 sq. ft.
Proposed: _8_,242 sa. ft.
Total: 19,480 sq. ft.
7. Open Space: Required: 25*
Provided: 62%
8. Parking: Required: 14 spaces
Provided: 17 spaces
9. Traffic Circulation: The site will use two existing driveways
to access two separate parking lots. The northern driveway
and parking are existing, and no changes are proposed to that
area. The southern driveway currently serves the Southern
Bell switching station. This driveway will be expanded, and
parking will be provided along the south side of the proposed
building addition. The traffic circulation pattern and the
two driveway locations have been approved by the Traffic
Engineering Division and the Public Works Director.
10. Landscape Plan: The landscape plan is in conformance with
Chapter 926 and includes the preservation of a significant
number of trees on the site.
11. Utilities: The existing building is serviced by a well and an
on-site septic system. The site will be serviced by county
water and an on-site septic system. The developer will be
extending county water to the site to serve the expansion.
The utility provisions have been approved by the county
Department of Utility Services and the Environmental Health
Department.
12. Environmental Issues: No. upland or -wetland requirements
apply. Environmental planning staff have no objection to site
plan approval.
13. Public Dedications: In order to provide the 80, ultimate
right-of-way for Old Dixie Highway, 14' of additional right-
of-way is required from the subject site. The applicant is
dedicating the right-of-way in exchange for density credit, as
allowed under LDR section 952.08(1)(b). The site plan design
accommodates the right-of-way dedication. Prior to site plan
release,. the right-of-way for Old Dixie Highway must be
dedicated.
14. ERS License: The HRS will inspect and issue a license for the
facility after a C.O. has been issued. Prior to opening the
facility for operation, the applicant will need to provide
staff with a copy of the HRS license.
15. Specific Land Use Criteria: The applicant must satisfy all
applicable criteria for an adult home care facility. The
group home specific land use criteria are as follows:
(d) Criteria for group homes: Levels I, II, and III,
residential centers, and adult congregate living
facilities. Group homes shall be distinguished by their
resident capacity as follows:
1. Level I group home or ACLF, up to eight (8)
residents including caretaker(s) per shift);
SEPTEMBER 17, 1996 1.7 BOOK 99 PAGE 141
.
99 PAGE 142
BOOK
2.
Level II group home or ACLF, up ,to twelve (12)
residents including caretaker(s) per shift;
3.
Level III group home or ACLF, up to twenty (20)
residents including caretaker(s) per shift; and
4.
Residential centers or ACLF (not Level I, II, or
III), twenty-one (21) or more residents including
caretaker(s) per shift.
(e) Those group homes or ACLFs whose residents are service-
dependent persons requiring special protection or
custodial care in order to meet their emotional and/or
physical needs must meet all licensing requirements from
the
Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services of
the
State of Florida.
1.
The use shall satisfy all applicable regulations of
the State of Florida and Indian River County as
currently exist;
2.
The approving body shall determine that the
proposed use is compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood in terms of intensity of land use. As
a measure of land use intensity, the expected
number of persons per acre of the proposed use is
equivalent to the number of persons per acre
allowed within the respective zoning district. The
number of persons per acre within the zoning
district can be derived by multiplying the density
(d.u./acre) by household size estimates for that
structure type. For the purposes of this section,
the following household size estimates shall apply:
single family homes, 2.5 person per dwelling unit;
multiple family, 2.0 persons per dwelling unit. The
persons per acre intensity of the group home shall
not exceed one and one-half (1X) times the
intensity of adjacent residential zoning
district(s).
3.
To avoid unsafe or unhealthy conditions that may be
produced by the overcrowding of persons living in
these facilities, a minimum floor area per person
shall be required. Floor area requirements shall be
measured from interior walls of all rooms including
closet space.
a. Total interior living space. A minimum of two
hundred (200) square feet of interior living
space shall be provided per facility resident.
Interior living space shall include sleeping
space and all other interior space accessible
on a regular basis to all facility residents.
b. Minimum sleeping areas. A minimum of eighty
(80) square feet shall be provided in each
sleeping space for single occupancy. A minimum
of sixty (60) square feet of sleeping space
shall be provided for each bed in a sleeping
space for multiple occupancy.
C. Bathroom facilities. A full bathroom with
toilet, sink and tub or shower shall be
provided for each five (5) residents.
4.
To avoid an undue concentration of group care
facilities in one area, all such facilities shall
be located at least one thousand two hundred
(1,200) feet apart, measured from property line to
property line.
5.
If located in a single -family area, the home shall
have the appearance of a single -family home.
Structural alterations or designs shall be of such
a nature as to preserve the residential character
of the building.
6.
If located in the AIR-1 zoning district, the site
shall have an L-1 land use designation.
7.
The facility shall satisfy all applicable off-
street parking requirements of Chapter 954. The
facility shall meet or exceed all open space
requirements for the respective zoning district.
S.
The maximum capacity of such facilities shall not
exceed the applicable number permitted by -the
department of health and rehabilitative services.
SEPTEMBER 17,
1996 18
� a �
9. Group home permits are transferable. If the type of
resident/client changes or the resident capacity
increases to such an extent that it would raise the
facility to a higher level group home as
distinguished by the definition, the facility must
be reevaluated for an administrative permit or
special exception approval.
Staff has verified that the site plan application satisfies
all of the applicable specific land use criteria.
16. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:
North: Vacant/CL
South: Groves/CL
East: Groves/CL
West: Old Dixie Highway, FEC Railroad, Vacant/IL
RECOHMENDATION:
Based on the analysis performed, staff recommends that the Board of
County Commissioners grant special exception use approval for an
expansion of the existing ACLF from 19 beds to 29 beds with the
following conditions:
1. That prior to commencement of operation of the facility, the
applicant shall provide planning staff a copy of the
facility's HRS license, indicating the licensed capacity of
the facility. That capacity shall not exceed the 29 bed
capacity approved by the county.
5
2. That prior to site plan release, the applicant shall -execute
and record a unity of title to combine the existing and
additional parcels.
3. That prior to site plan release, the applicant shall dedicate
14' of right-of-way for Old Dixie Highway. Said right-of-way
dedication is compensated for by the density credit reflected
in the approval of this project for 29 beds.
Community Development Director Stan Boling reviewed the
project for the Board.
The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone
wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, she closed
the public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved
the special exception use for the expansion of the
existing ACLF from 19 beds to 29 beds, with the 3
conditions cited by staff.

SUBJECT: Mira Flores, Inc. Is Request for Special Exception Use
Approval to Construct a Self -Service Mini -Storage
Facility
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of September 17, 1996.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
John H. Dean, Architect, has submitted an application for major
site plan and special exception use approval on behalf of Mira
Flores, Inc. to construct an 11,450 square foot self-service mini -
storage facility. The subject site is located at 1125 12th Street
and is zoned CL (Limited Commercial). Special exception use
approval is required for -self -storage uses in the CL district.
Existing development on the overall site includes one office
building along 12th Street, two storage buildings, and a fenced
storage yard. The use of the two existing storage buildings and
SEPTEMBER 17, 1996
M M
storage yard by a general building contractor for storage or
materials and vehicles would normally not be allowed within a CL
zoning district. In this case, however, the use of the site by a
general contractor was legally established prior to the current
zoning designation of the site. Therefore, the use is a
"grandfathered -in" use of the site.
The proposed area of development encompasses the two storage
buildings and the storage yard in the southern two thirds of the
site. Construction of the proposed mini -storage facility will
lessen the degree of the non -conformity by eliminating all outdoor
storage on site. The proposed development will result in self-
service storage and some continued contractors trades storage, all
within enclosed buildings.
At its regular meeting of August 22, 19961the Planning and Zoning
Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the Board of County
Commissioners approve the special exception use request (see
attachment W. The Commission also voted unanimously to grant
major site plan approval subject to Beard approval of the special
exception use request. Therefore, if the Board approves the
special exception use request, then the major site plan approval
will become effective.
The Board is now to consider the special exception use request and
approve, approve with conditions, or deny the request. Pursuant to
section 971.05 of the LDRs, the Board is to consider the
appropriateness of the requested use for the subject site and
surrounding area. Conditions and safeguards necessary to mitigate
impacts and to ensure compatibility of the use with the surrounding
area may be attached to any approval granted by the Board.
ANALYSIS:
1. Zoning Classification: CL, Limited Commercial
2. Land Use Designation: C/I, Commercial/Industrial
3. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:
North: 12th Street, vacant and commercial/CL
South: Vacant/RM-6
East: Commercial/CL
West: Vacant/RM-6
4. Overall Parcel Size: 1.39 acres or 60,525 sq. ft.
5. Area of Development: 0.913 acres or 39,750 sq. ft.
6. Building Area with Area of Development:
Existing: 5,301 sq. ft.
Proposed: 9.375 so. ft
Total: 14,676 sq. ft_
Note: To provide for the proposed self-service storage
facility, a 3,750 square foot building and a 5,625 square foot
building are proposed, and 2,075 square feet of existing
building will be remodeled. This will total 11,450 square
feet of self-service storage area. The remaining 3,226 square
feet of building area will continue to be used for contractors
trades storage, a use accessory to the adjacent contractors
trades office along 12th Street.
7. Impervious Surface Area:
Within the Area of Development: Existing: 33,788 sq. ft.
*Pro osed: -4.653 scr. ft
Result: 29,135 sq. ft.
*Note: Certain areas currently covered with an impervious
marl surface will be converted to landscaped areas.
8. Open Space:
Within the Area of Development: Required: 25.0%
Provided: 26.7*
9. Traffic Circulation: Access to the overall site and area of
development will remain unchanged. The proposed internal
traffic circulation plan for the mini -storage facility (area
of development) provides a loop access aisle that surrounds
one mini -storage building and provides access frontage to the
other storage buildings. The proposed facility will not
adversely impact area roadways, and no off-site improvements
are required. The county traffic engineer has approved the
SEPTEMBER 17, 1996 21 BOOK 99 F'AyE 145
BOOK
continued use of the existing 12th Street access and the
internal traffic circulation plan for the facility.
Therefore, the county traffic engineer has no objection to
site plan approval of the proposed mini -storage facility.
10. Off -Street Parking (total site): Required: 36
Provided: 38
11. Stormwater Management: The Stormwater Management Plan has
been approved by the Public Works Department.
12. Landscape Plan: Development of CL zoned property abutting a
multi -family use or multi -family zoning district, asis the
case with the proposed development, requires a Type "C" buffer
with a 6' high opaque feature. Since the subject site abuts
a RM -6 zoning district to the west and south, the site plan
provides the required Type "C" buffer with a 6' high opaque
feature along the west and south sides of the subject site.
The special land use criteria for a self -storage facility,
such as this one, abutting multi -family zoning districts,do
not require that supplemental buffering or screening be
provided. Thus, the proposed landscaping plan satisfies the
buffer requirements applicable to the proposed project.
13. Utilities: The site is currently served by county potable
water service and an on-site septic system. The proposed
self-service storage facility will not be provided with
restrooms or hose bibbs. Therefore, no change to existing
utility services is needed. Neither the Utility Services nor
Environmental Health departments have any objections to
approval of this application.
14. Concurrency: The applicant has chosen not to apply for an
initial concurrency certificate at this time and has executed
and notarized a concurrency notice form. The notice states
that no building permit will be issued for all or any portion
of the project unless and until a concurrency certificate is
issued for the project. Therefore, all site plan related
concurrency requirements are satisfied.
15. Dedications and Improvements: The proposed storage areas will
not necessitate any additional improvements or dedications.
16. Special Exception Criteria: For self-service mini -storage
facilities located in the CL (Limited Commercial) zoning
district:
1. Storage unit interior areas shall not exceed ten (10)
feet in height.
2. Storage units shall not exceed one hundred fifty (150)
square feet in size.
3. Outdoor storage is prohibited.
4. All outdoor lights shall be shielded to direct light and
glare only onto the self -storage facility premises.
Light and glare shall be defected, shaded and focused
away from all adjoining property and road rights-of-way.
5. Self-service storage facility sites shall not exceed
three (3) acres in gross area.
6. Notwithstanding the applicable buffering requirements
contained in section 911.10, a type B landscape buffer
with six-foot opaque feature shall be provided between
all structures and adjacent properties zoned for single-
family residential use.
7. Buildings containing storage units shall not exceed ten
thousand (10,000) square feet in floor area each and
shall not exceed one hundred thousand (100,000) square
feet of floor area for all buildings.
8. Access shall only be to arterial or collector roadways
and in no case through areas zoned for residential use.
9. No utilities (other than air conditioning) may be
supplied to storage units.
10. Hours of operation shall be limited to between 6:00 a.m.
and 8:00 p.m. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of
occupancy, the- applicant shall provide appropriate
signage on the site stating the hours of operation of the
facility.
11. Buildings may not exceed fifteen (15) feet in height.
SEPTEMBER 17, 1996 22
99 PAUE146
The application satisfies each of these criteria.
RECOMMMMATION t
Based on the analysis performed, staff recommends that the Board of
County Commissioners grant the requested special exception use
approval for a self-service storage facility.
Community Development Director Stan Boling advised the Board
that all criteria stated in the recommendation have been met.
The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone
wished to be heard in this matter.
John Dean, 2223 10th Avenue, architect, said that he would be
happy to answer any questions from the Board or the public.
The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard in this
matter. There being none, she closed the public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously granted

SUBJECT: PROPOSED PURCHASE OF ATLANTIC GULF COMMUNITIES (AGC)
INDUSTRIAL TRACT SCRUB LAAC PROJECT
It is requested that the information herein presented be given
formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its
regular meeting of September 17, 1996.
SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners purchase
(with bond funds) the Atlantic Gulf Communities (AGC) Industrial
Tract Scrub property. 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: Atlantic Gulf Communities
Cost -Share: Florida Communities Trust (40%)
(includes share of acquisition costs)
Total Price: $400,000 (average +$5,263 acre)
Other Costs: +$30,000 (appraisals, environ. audit, title
Insurance, management plan)
Countq Bonds
Sxpenditurez +$263,000 (not including initial management costs)
Acreage: +76 acres
Principal Condition:
• Closing subject to county Commission and FCT Governing Body approval
of purchase contract and project plan, including management plan.
LAAO Recommendation:
• The County Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (LAAO),
at its meeting on August 28, 1996, voted unanimously to
recommend that the Board approve the purchase contract
and draft management plan, with the condition that the
management plan be subject to modification depending on
whether the County proceeds with acquisition of the
adjacent St. Sebastian P.U.D. LAAO site.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
The subject AGC Industrial Tract Scrub property was approved in
1995 as a Florida Communities Trust (FCT) 60/40 cost -share project.
The property is currently ranked 5th out of 15 projects on the LAAC
site acquisition list. The City of Sebastian has expressed support
of the overall project because the project will contribute toward
alleviating conflicts within the City concerning endangered species
protection vs. private development rights.
In its application for state cost -share funding, the County chose
to be the lead agency for pre-acquisition tasks and negotiations.
During the past year, the county's acquisition consultant, in
coordination with county staff, has conducted pre-acquisition tasks
and negotiations. Since the seller, Atlantic Gulf Communities,
recently accepted and executed a purchase contract Option Agreement
for the project, appraisal results and other confidential
information have recently been released.
SEPTEMBER 17, 1996 24
*Advertised Public Meeting
This public hearing has been advertised +30 days in advance to
fulfill a State statute requirement that the County hold a public
meeting after having provided at least 30 days advertised public
notice to formally consider approving and exercising its purchase
option for the AGC Industrial Tract Scrub property.
The State requirement that the Board hold a public meeting to
consider exercising its option after having provided 30 days
advertised notice of the meeting applies because the County chose
to keep its appraisals of the subject property confidential until
the seller executed a binding option contract. Once that option
contract had been signed, the appraisals were released and have
been available to the public during the 30 day period prior to the
advertised public meeting. Besides meeting State statute
requirements, the hearing on the AGC Industrial Tract will serve to
meet a Land Acquisition Guide requirement that the County hold a
public hearing prior to purchasing any property with land
acquisition bond funds.
•Site Characteristics
The subject AGC Industrial Tract is located at the south terminus
of Gibson Street (130th Street) accessed through Roseland; the
property is within the City limits of Sebastian. The AGC
Industrial Tract's natural areas include xeric oak scrub (+12
acres); sand pine scrub (+13.5 acres); scrubby flatwoods (±23
acres); and freshwater marsh (+25.5 acres).
An undeveloped right-of-way for a future extension of Gibson Street
splits the property into two portions (see page 8 of the management
plan). The City of Sebastian has requested that the option remain
open for Gibson Street to be extended, but it is uncertain whether
the road will ever be constructed due to environmental constraints.
If in the future the City abandons its plans to extend Gibson
Street, the County will have the opportunity to request an
abandonment of the right-of-way.
•Ownership Characteristics
Currently, the subject property is owned by Atlantic Gulf
Communities. The current tax assessed value of the property is
$416,660.
*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 1995, Indian River County submitted an FCT application, which
was subsequently approved for 40% cost -share funding, including 40%
of pre-acquisition expenditures (e.g., environmental audit,
appraisals).
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 overall project property.
Specifically, conditions of the Conceptual Approval Agreement
include County provision of nature trails, a picnic area,
information kiosk, gazebo, and limited parking. Management of scrub
habitat is also a described management plan condition for the
project.
A number of initial site improvements, including fencing and
resource management, can be paid for with bond referendum funds as
part of the property acquisition. Improvements such as limited
parking 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 and
litter patrol.
SEPTEMBER 17, 1996 25 ' BOOK 99 PA!w 149
Boox 99 f r1U 15c
The County will enter into an interlocal agreement with the City of
Sebastian regarding City assistance in policing the property. In
all other respects, however, the County will be responsible for
property management.
County staff has opted to have a management plan for the project
(see attached) drafted by the county's acquisition/management
consultants, an option which is specified in the County's contract
with FloridAffinity, Inc. Page 24 of the draft plan summarizes
estimated management and development costs of the project.
The management plan for the AGC Industrial Tract Scrub was drafted
with knowledge that the County is negotiating purchase of the
adjacent +312 acre St. Sebastian PUD property. (County staff has
come to terms with the sellers of the St. Sebastian PUD property,
and a public hearing on that property has been scheduled for
October 8, 1996.) Combined, the two projects total close to 400
acres of conservation land. For this reason, the management plan
and development costs were estimated with anticipation of the
overall 400 acre management area.
Also, because staff anticipate the eventual combining of the AGC
Industrial Tract with the St. Sebastian PUD property to create one
large management area, the draft management plan proposes to rename
the project as the "North Sebastian Conservation Area" for
practical and aesthetic reasons.
•Appraisals
In accordance with County Land Acquisition Guide and FCT
procedures, two independent appraisals were obtained to determine
an approved appraised value of the property.
The appraisal firms selected were Armfield-Wagner and the Lentz -
Goodman Group. The appraisals was subsequently certified by a
review appraiser (Boyle Appraisal Service), as required by the PCT.
The appraised values for the property are summarized as follows.
AGC INDUSTRIAL TRACT SCRUB
APPRAISER VALUE f DIVERGENCE APPROVED APPR. VALDE
Armfield & Wagner $450,000 N/A :450,000
Lentz -Goodman $413,000 8%
The negotiated purchase price of $400,000 is 898 of the approved
appraised value.
•Contract
In coming to terms with FCT and county staff on the negotiated
purchase price (subject to County Commission and FCT approval), the
seller has executed a standard 'FCT purchase contract Option
Agreement with minor modifications. A copy of that contract is
attached to this staff report.
ANALYSIS
*Multiple Benefits
Environmental Education
As with most of the County's proposed acquisitions, the AGC
Industrial Tract Scrub purchase will enhance education in the
County With this property, the educational function will consist
of nature trails and educational displays for the site. Also, the
Environmental Learning Center has expressed an interest in using
the property as a "satellite" location for xeric scrub educational
excursions.
Comprehensive Plan Acquisition Commitment
Conservation Policy 6.2 of the County Comprehensive Plan commits
the County to acquire a minimum of 50 acres of xeric scrub for
conservation purposes. Although the County has fulfilled this
minimum acreage requirement, "the AGC Industrial Tract project
contributes to this policy by conserving +25 acres of xeric oak and
pine scrub. The property is also considered a "core" site for
Florida scrub jay protection, in the context of a county -wide scrub
Jay Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). The project also furthers
objectives in the City and County comprehensive plans relating to
open space, aquifer primary recharge area protection, and rare
species conservation.
SEPTEMBER 17, 1996 26
M M M
Chief of Environmental Planning, Roland DeBlois, advised that
LAAC has recommended that the Board proceed with this acquisition.
Acquisition and property management costs will inure 60% to the
County and 40% to the State, with initial management costs
estimated at $150,000. Two appraisals were obtained and the
negotiated purchase price is approximately 89% of the appraised
value.
Commissioner Bird felt that the price was very reasonable.
The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone
wished to be heard in this matter.
Sebastian City Planner Bob Massarelli advised that the City of
Sebastian supports this recommendation.
Mike Jennings, representing the U. S. Fish & Wildlife Game
Commission, expressed the Commission's support of the project.
The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard in this
matter. There being none, she closed the public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED bye
Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously approved
the AGC Industrial Tract purchase contract Option
Agreement and the attached management plan, approved
exercise of the Option, and authorized staff to
proceed with closing on the subject property,
pursuant to staff's recommendations.

LAAC Recommendation:
• The County Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (LAAC),
at its meeting on August 28, 1996, voted 14 to 1 to
recommend that the Board not approve the purchase
contracts, maintaining its position that the overall
project should not be acquired because of anticipated
management difficulties, since the property is located
within an active, developing subdivision.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
The subject Sebastian Highlands Scrub property was approved in
early 1995 as a Florida Communities Trust (FCT) 508 cost -share
project. In 1995, the Sebastian Highlands Scrub project was ranked
14th out of 19 projects on the LAAC site acquisition list. The
project is currently ranked 13th out of 15 sites. The City of
Sebastian has expressed support of the overall project because the.
project will alleviate conflicts within the City concerning
endangered species protection vs. private development rights.
The initial overall Sebastian Highlands Scrub project consisted of
+180 lots. At a public hearing on July 16, 1996, -the Board of
County Commissioners approved the purchase of "Phase I" of the
project by agreeing to buy 50 of 56 lots owned by Atlantic Gulf
Communities (AGC). At that meeting, with acknowledgement from the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the Board eliminated from the
overall project the northern group of 26 lots,. which were
determined by the FWS to be no longer crucial to the success of the
project.
In its application for state cost -share funding, the County chose
to be the lead agency for pre-acquisition tasks and negotiations.
During the past year, the county's acquisition consultant, in
coordination with county staff, has conducted pre-acquisition tasks
and negotiations. Since the owners of the herein described lots
within the project have accepted and executed purchase contracts,
appraisal results for those lots have recently been released.
*Advertised Public Meeting
This public hearing has been advertised +30 days in advance to
fulfill a State statute requirement that the County hold a public
meeting after having provided at least 30 days advertised public
notice to formally consider approving and exercising its purchase
contracts for the Sebastian Highlands Scrub Phase II lots.
The State requirement that the Board hold a public meeting to
consider exercising its option after having provided 30 days
advertised notice of the meeting applies because the County chose
to keep its appraisal of the subject lots confidential until the
sellers executed a binding contract. Once that contract had been
signed, the appraisal was released and has been available to the
public during the 30 day period prior to the advertised public
meeting. Besides meeting State statute requirements, the hearing
on the subject lots will serve to meet a Land Acquisition Guide
requirement that the County hold a public hearing prior to
purchasing any property with land acquisition bond funds.

*Site Characteristics
The subject 47 undeveloped lots consist of xeric oak scrub in Unit
17 of the Sebastian Highlands. All of these lots are located in the
project core area in the vicinity of the Pelican Island Elementary
School.
These 47 lots, combined with 4 lots already owned by the City of
Sebastian and 16 AGC lots being purchased near the school
(totalling 67 lots out of 116 identified for acquisition in the
school area), are an essential element of this core area.
•Ownership Characteristics
Currently, the subject 47 lots are owned by 41 individuals (see
attached). The tax assessed value of each of these lots range from
$6,600 to $11,830 depending on the size and accessibility of the
lot.
•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 1994, 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., environmental
audit, appraisals).
Utilities Water Line Assessment
The Board of County Commissioners, at a public hearing on August
27, 1996, approved Phase I of the Utilities water line assessment
project for the Sebastian Highlands. Of the 47 lots proposed herein
for acquisition, 33 are subject to the Phase I Utilities
assessment. The combined total of the assessment for the 33
affected lots is $52,658.96. On a per lot basis, the Utilities
assessment averages +17% of the appraised value.
Although the signed purchase contracts indicate that each seller is
responsible for providing clear title to their property, most of
the contracts were signed by the sellers prior to notice of the
Utilities assessments, and those owners who have contacted staff
have expressed dismay at the prospect of having to pay the
assessments prior to closing.
Management Costs
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 overall project property.
Specifically, conditions of the Conceptual Approval Agreement
include County provision of nature trails, a picnic area,
information kiosk, gazebo, and limited parking. Management of scrub
habitat is also a described management plan condition for the
project.
A number of initial site improvements, including fencing and
resource management, can be paid for with bond referendum funds as
part of the property acquisition. Improvements such as limited
parking 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 and
litter patrol.
The County has executed an interlocal agreement
Sebastian regarding City assistance in policing
all other respects, however, the County will be
property management.
IIt 179 1996
with the City of
the property. In
responsible for
County staff have opted to have a management plan for the project
(see attached) drafted by the county's acquisition/management
consultants, an option which is specified in the County's contract
with FloridAffinity, Inc. Page 25 of the draft plan summarizes
estimated management and development costs of the overall Sebastian
Highlands Scrub project.
Please note that the draft plan for the total acquisition project
was previously reviewed by the .Board when the Board reviewed the
AGC lots purchase. This plan is in the process of being modified to
account for the elimination of the northern group of lots, and may
be subject to further change depending on the County's success in
negotiating purchases of additional lots within the project.
*Appraisal
In accordance with County Land Acquisition Guide and FCT
procedures, an independent appraisal was obtained to determine an
approved appraised value of the lots. Because the value of the
individual lots did not exceed $500,000, only one appraisal was
required to satisfy state and county procedural requirements.
The appraisal firm selected was Armfield & Wagner. The appraisal
was subsequently certified by a review appraiser (Boyle Appraisal
Service), as required by the FCT.
The appraised value for the combined 47 lots is summarized as
follows.
SEBASTIAN HIGHLANDS SCRUB - 47 LOTS
APPRAISER VALUE % DIVERGENCE APPROVED APPR. VALDE
Armfield & Wagner $396,900 N/A $396,900
The negotiated purchase price of $396,900 is 100% of the approved
appraised value. Given the nature of the project and the fact that
these appraised values reflect environmental permitting
constraints, whereby in some cases the appraised value is less than
tax assessed value, staff felt it was appropriate to make offers at
the full appraised value. (The appraised values of the individual
lots are summarized in an attachment to this memorandum.)
•Contract
In coming to terms with FCT and county staff on the negotiated
purchase price (subject to County Commission and FCT approval),
each seller has executed a standard FCT purchase contract with
minor modifications. For ease of reference, rather than attaching
each individual contract, attached is a copy of the contract that
has been executed by each of the 41 sellers.
•Proiect 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 that 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
As confirmed by the Sebastian City Planner, the Sebastian Highlands
Scrub lots purchase as proposed is consistent with the City's
Comprehensive Plan. Documents of the project plan listed above -
aside from Board approval of the purchase agreement and management
plan - can be handled administratively, and have been provided to
FCT by county staff contingent upon Board approval. of the
acquisition.

ANALYSIS
BOOK 99 Fxi 156
•Water Line Assessments
Coordination & Compatibility of Projects
Both the Utilities water line extension project and the Sebastian
Highlands Scrub acquisition project are important from an
environmental standpoint, and are not incompatible. The water line
project extends needed service to lots within the Sebastian
Highlands as an improvement to residential potable water quality,
and will ultimately promote the County's objectives of conserving
ground water quality and quantity in the area. The scrub
acquisition project will protect environmentally important habitat
and primary aquifer recharge areas, as well as provide passive
recreation, open space, and environmental education.
County Planning Division and Utilities Department staff have
coordinated on the two projects to determine how each project
affects the other. Staff came to two main conclusions. The first
was that, after review of the water line project design, there is
no opportunity to modify any water line segment within the scrub
acquisition project, due to the need to service residences in the
area. The second conclusion was that the water line assessments
would affect lots within the scrub acquisition project, regardless
of the timing of the assessment or scrub acquisition.
Alternatives
There are a number of alternatives relating to the recent Utilities
water line assessment, as it affects lots within the Sebastian
Highlands Scrub acquisition project. one alternative is for the
County not to proceed with the project acquisition. This
alternative, however, would leave the lot owners to fend for
themselves regarding payment of assessment fees on top of trying to
obtain federal permits to build in compliance with .the federal
Endangered Species Act. Moreover, it would derail efforts to
conserve environmentally important scrub habitat, and development
of a Habitat Conservation Plan that the County is working in
cooperation with the City of Sebastian.
Another alternative is for the County to advise the sellers that
they are obligated to pay the assessment as a condition of closing.
However, since the assessment equals approximately 178 of the
appraised value, the sellers will likely balk and not sell to the
County.
A third alternative is for the County to pay the assessments with
bond funds as a cost of acquisition. Because the water line
assessments were recently approved - as the Board is considering
purchase of the Sebastian Highlands Scrub lots - the County has an
opportunity to pay the assessments with bond funds as part of
acquisition costs. If the Utilities assessment project occurred
after the County had already purchased the lots, the County would
still need to pay the assessments, 'but could not use bond funds
because it would not be an acquisition cost. In such a scenario,
the County would have to find another funding source, such as the
general fund.
It is staff's position that the most appropriate alternative is for
the County to pay the water line assessments - for these and other
lots acquired by the County within the scrub acquisition project -
with bond funds, as an acquisition cost.
If the County decides to pay the Utilities assessments, it is
appropriate and equitable that the County extend assessment payment
to other affected lots within the overall acquisition project,
including 13 of the 50 AGC lots the County has approved to purchase
as Phase I of the project. The Utilities assessment for the 13
affected AGC lots totals $20,229.99.
•Multiple Benefits
Environmental Education
As with most of the County's proposed acquisitions, the Sebastian
Highlands Scrub purchase will enhance education in the County.
With this property, the educational function will consist of nature
trails and educational displays for the site. Also, the
Environmental Learning Center has expressed an interest in using
the property as a "satellite" location for xeric scrub educational
excursions. County staff will coordinate with the School Board,
particularly with School Board' staff at the Pelican Island
Elementary School, concerning school use and access to the
property.
SEPTEMBER 17, 1996 32
• Comprehensive Plan Acquisition Commitment
Conservation Policy 6.2 of the County Comprehensive Plan commits
the County to acquire a minimum of 50 acres of xeric scrub for
conservation purposes. Although this minimum acreage has already
been acquired, the Sebastian Highlands Scrub project contributes to
this policy by conserving xeric oak scrub. The project also
furthers objectives in the City and County comprehensive plans
relating to open space, aquifer primary recharge area protection,
and rare species conservation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the
purchase contracts for the 47 individual lots as Phase II of the
Sebastian Highlands Scrub acquisition project. Staff also
recommends that the Board approve County payment, as a cost of land
acquisition, of applicable Utilities water line assessments
(including affected AGC lots) with bond funds. In addition, staff
recommends that the Board approve exercise of the purchase
contracts, and authorize staff to proceed with closing on the lots,
including submittal of a Project Plan amendment to the FCT to
fulfill requirements of the FCT cost -share Conceptual Approval
Agreement.
Chief of Environmental Planning Roland DeBlois advised that 2
more contracts have been received, which brings the total number of
lots to 49. He presented a map outlining the project and explained
that the project originally included 180 lots, with the north group
having been eliminated. The total project now includes 150 lots,
and 34 of the proposed 49 in this proposal are affected by the new
utility easements. These 49 lots are being called Phase II.
LAAC's recommendation was a 14-1 vote not to purchase these lots.
Most contracts for these lots were signed prior to the utility
assessments. The County will be responsible for management of the
property. Staff feels this scrub acquisition is environmentally
important and will provide open spaces. The County can consider
paying for the.assessments as a part of the acquisition costs with
bond funds. If paid later, the assessments would be paid through
general funds. The County could take the position that the
property owners must pay the assessments; however, staff felt this
was not equitable. Staff recommends (1) approval of the purchase
contracts for the 49 lots, (2) that the County pay the utility
assessments for the 49 lots plus the AGC lots, and (3) exercise of
the option contracts.
Commissioner Bird felt that the biggest problem is the
management aspect after the lots are acquired and wondered how that
could work when the lots are scattered.
Mr. DeBlois stated that the management plan includes a public
access portion in the bigger cluster of 34 lots. The lots being
considered today have no planned improvements and the main purpose
for the acquisition is habitat management. There is a planned
consolidation of the project as a part of Phase III. U.S. Fish &
Wildlife wants local governments to take title to the properties;
SEPTEMBER 17, 1996 33 BOOK
rp-

99 m
however, the agreement makes it more difficult to do anything else
with the property. Fish & Wildlife's role is only to require
annual stewardship reports.
The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone
wished to be heard in this matter.
Thomas Frame, City Manager of the City of Sebastian, 1225 Main
Street, believed this is an important issue for the City. The City
has passed a resolution in unanimous support of the project which
he presented to the Board.
Bob Massarelli, Sebastian City Planner, felt these lots are
important in the big picture of the whole scrub habitat issue and
urged the Board to move forward with the purchase.
Mike Jennings of the Fish & Wildlife Commission felt that
management will be challenging but these lots are a very important
component for the scrub jays. He encouraged acquisition of these
lots.
Chairman Adams wanted to know what action Fish & Wildlife
would take if an individual lot owner wanted to apply for a
building permit.
Mr. Jennings responded: "Regarding the lots being considered
for acquisition today, the Commission would say we cannot release
any lot until the County has developed the entire project".
Commissioner Macht inquired whether it is the intention of the
Commission to deny the permit, and Mr. Jennings replied that these
decisions are made individually, on a lot -by -lot basis.
Commissioner Macht questioned whether these are buildable
lots, and Mr. Jennings said they certainly are and the Commission
has dealt with individual lot owners regarding permits. However,
a large umbrella program is much easier to resolve and deal with.
Commissioner Bird wanted to know why, if the habitat is for
federally endangered species, the Commission does not have funds to
buy these lots and why the County has to come up with the money.
Mr. Jennings explained that the Commission funds a lot of
purchases but in this particular case there are monies going to
other entities.
Chairman Adams expressed her concerns that in the past Fish &
Wildlife has denied permits or required lot owners to purchase
additional mitigation property prior to permits being issued.
Mr. Jennings said that there is a judgment call on each
application and Fish & Wildlife needs to make sure they do not
compromise the continued existence of the scrub jays.
SEPTEMBER 17, 1996 34
Commissioner Bird inquired whether the presence of the scrub
jay is what gets Fish & Wildlife involved and wanted to know how
many scrub jays there are.
Mr. Jennings said there were about 10,000 back in 1993, and
less now.
Jim Granse, of 36 Pine Harbor Lane, a concerned citizen,
wanted to be sure the Board was aware this is taxpayers' money and
asked where does it stop. He reported that the Press Journal had
3 editorials against the purchase and recently had a "thumbs down"
article. Mr. Granse reminded the Board that the taxpayers had been
asked to approve a $26,000,000 bond referendum for the purchase of
"undeveloped natural lands". He is a LAAC committee member and it
was his understanding that the County was to buy pristine property.
Chairman Adams clarified that none of these lots have homes
built on them.
Bill Roolage, another concerned citizen, expressed his
appreciation for the citizens who donated money for the children in
Gifford and said that all he hears from the County Commission is
scrub jays and beach mice and buying property. He felt that kids
are more important and wanted to see the Board take them into
consideration and perhaps fund some after-school programs rather
than scrub jays.
Andy Cindric, 1441 56th Square West, wanted to know what type
of vegetation makes it environmentally sensitive and how you
document that the scrub jay is resident on a lot. He agreed with
Commissioner Bird's comments regarding buying piecemeal lots and
asked why, if the property is environmentally sensitive, it was
allowed to develop.
Director Bob Keating advised that the property was developed
back in the 19501s. A significant portion of the property would be
set aside were it being platted under today's regulations.
Mr. Deblois stated that properties are classified as
environmentally sensitive as rare species will not locate in any
other place. Usually the core tracts are comprised of only a few
hundred acres.
William Jessberger of 9725 North Marina Drive said that he
owns 2 scrub jay lots and does not understand why the water line is
being installed. He was told by Fish & Wildlife that he could
build on these lots if he bought another lot from them which he
feels is complete extortion.

MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Chairman Adams for discussion, that the Board
approve the purchase contracts for the 47 individual
lots as Phase II of the Sebastian Highlands Scrub
acquisition project; approve County payment, as a
cost of land acquisition, of applicable Utilities
water line assessments (including affected AGC lots)
with bond funds; approve exercise of the purchase
contracts; and authorize staff to proceed with
closing on the lots, including submittal of a
Project Plan amendment to the FCT to fulfill
requirements of the FCT cost -share Conceptual
Approval Agreement.
Commissioner Tippin emphasized that he had opposed the bond
issue to start with but believes in majority rule. He felt we have
got to draw a line in the sand. He commented that he is a native
of Florida and loves the "critters", but we never hear about the
successes and there is a limit to what we can do. He believed that
taking lots from people is unAmerican and said that he was going to
have to change his mind on this one; he could not support this
motion.
Commissioner Bird felt that this County is going out of its
way to buy large habitats and Fish & Wildlife should have enough
flexibility to recognize that lots created years ago should be
grandfathered in. He felt the County is more than mitigating with
the additional property being purchased elsewhere and is doing a
good job on behalf of Fish & Wildlife. He also felt he could not
support the motion.
Commissioner Macht commented that arguments he has heard in
LAAC meetings have been very helpful. The majority of the members
are people who are environmentalists who have a lot of knowledge
available. Some of the arguments were that individual lots should
never be purchased because of management problems. The difficulty
in management implies increased costs and the proposed water line
is another cost. He also believed it is time to draw a line in the
sand and use the bond money for something more meaningful and
contiguous so management will be easier. He did not believe the
scrub jay is in any danger whether we buy this project or not and
does not intend to support this motion. He felt this is not the
right thing to do and not the right place to do it.
SEPTEMBER 17, 1996 36
The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard in this
matter. There being none, she closed the public hearing.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED the question and the
Motion failed by a 2-3 vote (Commissioners
Macht, Tippin and Bird opposed).

Attached is a Facilities Relocation Agreement between Indian River County and
Florida Power & Light Company (FP&L) for the relocation of transmission and
distribution facilities on the west side of Kings Highway north and south of SR60.
The estimated cost for this relocation work is $153.251. The agreement notes that
final billing will reflect actual field costs not to exceed 110% of the estimated cost
($168.576.10). After the relocation work is completed. FP&L will send a final

FP&L has requested that the County execute and return three copies of the
Agreement. After the Agreements have been executed by FP& L. one original will

RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
Staff recommends that the Board approve the attached agreement at a not -to -
exceed cost of $168.576.10. Funding is from Account #101-158-541-067.31
Commissioner Bird questioned whether any agency has any
authority to check FPL's charges as some the charges seem
outrageous, and Public Works Director Jim Davis stated that staff
does the best it can to look into all charges and if they see
something that looks unreasonable, they bring it to their
attention. In 1982 a pole at 8th Street was moved at a cost of
approximately $8,000. This many years later, a charge of $40,000
to $50,000 a pole does not seem to be out of line.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously approved
the Facilities Relocation Agreement with Florida

BACKGROUND
The Dixie Oak Manor assisted care living facility is expanding its
complex and wishes to connect to the County water system. Per the
County's Comprehensive Plan, the expanded facility also meets the
requirements for mandatory connection, (i.e., size and distance)
from existing water mains. The Utilities Master Plan calls for the
extension of a 12" master -planned water main to be constructed from
U.S. Highway One on 65th Avenue west, then proceeding south on Old
Dixie, past the Dixie Oak Manor site.
In keeping with the established County policy, we are proposing a
Developer's Agreement with Dixie Oak Manor for the construction of
this main to the southern limits of their property.
ANALYSIS
The Developer's Agreement proposes the construction of 1,360 linear
feet of 12" PVC water main as outlined above. (For details, please
see the attached Developer's Agreement.) The cost sharing proposal
is as follows:
Total estimated project cost $101,310.50
Developer's portion S 2.340.00
County contribution $ 98,970.50
Funding for this project will be from the impact fee fund account.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners approve the Developer's Agreement as
presented.

Utilities Wastewater System. As part of the original project, both
the domestic and skid cleaning wastewater flows were to be
connected to the County's wastewater system. With the completion
of the South County Wastewater Repump Facility at the South County
R.O. Plant, we now need to proceed with these connections.
ANALYSIS
The cost associated with these connections are as follows:
Catectory I
1. Construction (complete) $48,996.00
2. Contingency of 20% $ 9,799.30
3. Engineering, permitting, $ 3,500.00

AWARD OF BID FOR METER READING SERVICES
The Department, in its continuing effort to control operating and
maintenance expenses, reviewed the current meter reading contract
with Bermex, Inc. due to increased meter readings as a result of
growth of the utility system and acquisition of the City of
Sebastian utility system, October 1, 1995.
The existing vendor experienced staffing problems during May, 1996,
which resulted in the County providing staff to assist in reading
the meters scheduled for that day. The providing of County staff
to read the regularly scheduled meters resulted in a penalty of
$4,063.50 ($3.50 per meter) to the vendor for the total meters that
were read by County staff.
In its review, the Department contacted other South Florida
utilities who utilize contract meter reading as to the firms being
utilized and their current pricing. Based upon this information,
the Department advertised and received bids on August 21, 1996, for
providing water meter reading services for the 1996/97 fiscal year
from the following three firms:
Power Plant Maintenance, Inc.,(PPM), Pt. St. Lucie, F1.
Avatar Utility Services, (AUS),Sarasota, Fl.
Bermex, Inc. (BI), Southfield, MI. (Currently contracted to
provide these services.)
A summary analysis of current annual costs projected through
September 30, 1996 (schedule attached), compared to County costs at
the time of contracting for these services October 1, 1995, are as
follows:
Total cost with County employees 9/30/95 $178,484.97
Projected Cost through 9/30/96 with
current vendor Bermex, Inc. $105.890.50

JTC invites Indian River County commissioners and staff to work in
partnership with the Department of Labor and Employment Security. the Vero
Beach,'Indian River County Chamber of Commerce and all other community
agencies to accomplish this mission. By working in partnership to develop a
workforce for new and expanding businesses in Indian River County. we can
reduce unemployment and improve the county's economic base.
Under the states Workforce Act passed into law July 1. 1996. a Jobs
and Education Partnership Board (JEP) was established for Region 20 which
includes Indian River. Martin. Okeechobee and St. Lucie Counties that will
administrate and coordinate all job training and employment programs that are
publicly funded. September 1. 199E the JTC was awarded a contract to
perform job training and employment services for the JE P. Recognizing that
.a each county in Region 20 has unique workforce development requirements.
a JTC is requesting to form a partnership with each individual county to meet
those needs.
In Indian River County. Rio Mar Yachts. X -L Vision. Indian River
Memorial Hospital and DavCo have been targeted as new and expanding
businesses in the most immediate need of workforce development. JTC
respectfully requests that the Indian River County Commission and staff join
our partnership to meet those needs.
Commissioner Eggert advised that Job Training Center, Inc. has
asked the County to agree to form a partnership with the Department
of Labor and Employment Security, the Vero Beach/Indian River
County Chamber of Commerce and other community agencies so that
they can go as a group to different people who want training.
In response to a question from Commissioner Bird, Commissioner
Eggert confirmed that there is no financial obligation, just an
expression of support.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by

OLD COURTHOUSE COMMENTS
(POSTPONED FROM SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 MEETING)
Commissioner Macht recommended that the Board direct staff to
entertain proposals to market the properties (the old courthouse
building, the old annex building and the old state attorney's
offices) for the best benefit to the County and its taxpayers.
County Administrator Chandler confirmed that staff's
recommendation is to market the old courthouse and annex building
as one site.
SEPTEMBER 17, 1996 46
Commissioner Bird felt that the state attorney's building and
the annex building have some life left in them but he did not see
the old courthouse building in this same light. He felt the County
Administrator should get some up-to-date estimates on demolition
also.
County Administrator Chandler confirmed that staff is looking
at a number of different alternatives for these buildings.
Commissioner Bird questioned whether fairly current appraisals
are available on these buildings, and County Administrator Chandler
advised that the old courthouse appraisal was 2 years ago, the
annex building appraisal was 3 to 4 years old, and the state
attorney's building appraisal was also 3 to 4 years old.
Commissioner Bird suggested contacting the original appraiser
to see what it would cost to update these appraisals.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED "by
Commissioner Eggert, that the Board direct staff to
check the cost of up -dating the appraisals; check
the market possibilities for the old courthouse
building, state attorney's building, old health
department building and annex building; and check
demolition costs for the old courthouse building and
concrete walkway to the annex building.
Anthony Masi of 1600 Ocean Drive presented a letter dated
September 15, 1996: 1 700 OCEAN DR. #206
Vero Beach, F1. 32963
September 15, 1996
TO: The Honorable Board of County Commissioners
From: Anthony Masi, Chairman, Committee to Save the
Old Court House,
Subject: Adaptive Use of the Old IRC Courthouse(Old Crth)
Open and honest diversity of opinion is of great
benefit to a community. The action of the Board, in June
1996, to have the AdHoc Adaptive Use Committee(AdHoc Com).
reconvene did not materialize. Meetings have not been held
or scheduled by its chairman. To protect the interests of
the taxpayer the AdHoc Com. should meet to provide a guide-
line for the Board. No final decison on any adaptive use
should be made without the recommendation of the AdHoc Com.
The restoration of the Old Crth. and pragmatic use of
other related court buildings is vital, i.e.:
1. The Old Crth was the cultural, political, social, and
economic center of IRC and Vero Beach. It was the heart beat
of the local community and IRC. It has been confirmed as
structurally sound by local officials and architects.
2. It will improve the economic health of IRC, and Vero
and help revitalize the downtown business area,
3. Its preservation and restoration is supported by many
diverse groups. It has received a mandate of support,
approximately 1500 signatures were collected of IRC
residents to include downtown business owners, local
politicians,as well as strongly supported resolutions and
letters from the towns and from business organization of
IRC. The PRESS JOURNAL, has written effectively and spoken
loudly over many years for its preservation and restoration
4. Restored it can save millions of taxpayers' dollars
to meet the county's expanded need for office space.
SEPTEMBER 17, 1996

BOOK 9 FADE 6

S. When restored, and qualified for historical
recognition and the National Register of Historical Places
it becomes eligible for additional monetary state grants.
Citrus County, supported by visionary county leadership,
over a ten year period applied and received four grants in
the hundreds of thousands of dollars to restore its old
courthouse. DeSoto County received over $600,000.00, Other
courthouse, older than the old IRC courthouse with the
timely and strong support of visionary county officials
have received hundreds of thousands of dollars for
restoration. IRC Boards seem to lack both vision.foresight
and appreciation for the history of IRC and Vero Beach.
6. Destroying its integrity as an historical entity could
eliminate Vero from consideration for the "Main Street
Historical Approach which provides additional grants to help
the economic revitalization of Historic Commercial Areas
such as downtown Vero, It will also reduce its chances of
receiving future restoration grants from the state.
7. It will preserves a historical legacy of the past for
present and future generations,
8. Restored it can act as a Youth Center(strongly
advocated by hundreds of mothers), also for the approved
Teen Court Center for trouble youth supported by Judge
Vocelle or a combination work center for the disabled.
9. Become a Satellite campus for IRC Junior College,
10.'Used to house an expanded historical and citrus
Museum, both have exceeded their current space and areas.
11. House an Art Museum and Cultural Center as well as a
visable and readily available Tourist Center.
12. House a sports museum for players and announcers,
Central Florida famed for its Spring baseball training
camps and the Sportcasters' Hall of Fame and Museum,
internationally known, would help draw many thousands of
daily tourists and visitors to Vero.
13. To relocate "stand-alone" offices, i.e., Supervisor of
Elections, Tax Collector, Property Appraiser, Emergency
Services to the vacant Old Crth or related court buildings.
14. Unneeded space, can be used to produce income by
renting or selling non -historical buildings to both private
and non-profit organizations.
1S. When the property was sold to the County by the City
of Vero Beach, the deed required that the property be used
for a courthouse, otherwise the property would be returned
to the City. In my opinion, county officials do not have
the right to destroy the Old Crth. It should be the
decision of IRC residents and taxpayers.
16. The deteriorated condition, due to the negligence of
county officials, and the high repair cost of the Old Crth.
became the main issue.'The non -historical buildings, the
Annex and Attorney's building, requiring minor repairs,
could have been used in the last two years by the County, to
relieve overcrowed condition at the Administration building.
17. The major failure to gain the 1996 State Grant for the
restoration of the Old Crth lies with the Cty Board. no one
else. It does not prevent submitting future restoration
grants, or did not prevent the practical and effective use,
or sale of the other vacated court buildings. The income
could have been used to repair the Old Crth. at no cost to
the taxpayers. How long will taxpayers be fooled? Is a new
multimillion dollar administration building on the horizon?
Negligence has costed the taxpayers, hundreds of thousands
of dollars in lost value, revenue and use. Past Boards had
been just as adamant about restoring the Heritage Center, a
viable Vero legacy enjoyed by visitors and residents alike.
99 PnE17
Mr. Masi presented his view that the old courthouse building
should be put on the National Register of Historical Places and
then additional grants for restoration could be acquired. He felt
the Press Journal has been doing a wonderful job with its coverage
on this issue.
SEPTEMBER 17, 1996 48
Mr. Masi strongly opposed marketing the building and felt it
could be used to set up a project in which disabled people can do
some work that will turn a profit. He wanted to give the ad hoc
committee an opportunity to revisit the subject and asked that the
Board table any action until that committee can meet and submit
further recommendations.
Commissioner Macht commented that nothing in the motion
prohibits private development of the courthouse.
Janie Gould, President of The Historical Society, stressed
that The Historical Society is not interested in saving every old
building but believes restoration of the old courthouse would
contribute to revitalization of the downtown area. She asked the
Board to please reconvene the ad hoc committee and to postpone
getting demolition estimates. Ms. Gould offered the assistance of
The Historical Society in anyway possible.
Robert Orth, now residing in Alaska, noted a project which had
begun about 2 months ago in Pueblo, Colorado, somewhat like the
Goodwill operation, where federal, state and local grants became
available. He felt that such a project could pay for itself 'within,
2 years. His idea was to teach fly tieing to handicapped
individuals and have them work in the old courthouse building.
There has been a 500% increase in the fly fishing industry in the
last few years, and he believed funding would be easier to obtain
if there were a specific project being proposed.
Commissioner Eggert commented that putting the physically
handicapped in these buildings would be very dangerous. In the old
courthouse there is only 1 door to the second floor and it would be
impossible for them to get down from the second floor in an
emergency. There is also a real problem with mildew and she would
not want to ask anyone at all to go into these buildings for any
length of time. She realized there is a real frustration on the
part of anyone wishing to see something done with these buildings
but it has been estimated to cost from $3,000,000 to $4,000,000
just to restore the old courthouse alone.
Chairman Adams commended Mr. Orth's proposal of an excellent
project and encouraged him to pursue the idea which could obviously
be done in any surplus building.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the
Motion passed unanimously.
