were to be made in two categories: 1) non -capital felonies and 2) misdemeanors
and juveniles.
The closing date for submittals was December 2, 1996. Two proposals were
received for each category. The proposals were made by James T. Long, P.A.
and Gerald T. Roden.
Pursuant to the RFP these proposals were reviewed by a committee comprised
of acting Chief Judge Kanarek, John Unruh representing the Public Defender,
James Chandler and myself. Mr. Long's proposal was for $600 for felony cases
and $300 for misdemeanor and juvenile cases. This is the same as the current
contract and the same cost since January 1993. Mr. Roden's proposal was for
$580 for felony cases and $280 for misdemeanor and juvenile. On average, Mr.
Roden's proposal would be about $6,000 less a year than the Long proposal.
Mr. Long's proposal also included as participating attorneys Kay Hammond,
Bruce Smith, Richard Saliba and Wayne McDonough. Mr. Roden's proposal
included Stephen Fromang as the participating attorney.
The Committee reviewed the criminal experience of each group and concluded
that Mr. Long's group had extensive criminal experience and had generally
done a good job during the previous contract period. Mr. Roden's experience is
very limited in criminal law and he has no recent experience (last two years) in
criminal law. Judge Kanarek and Mr. Unruh felt that experience was a very
important factor not only from a legal standpoint but from a financial one as
well. It was pointed out that when an issue of in -effective counsel is raised it
can become a very expensive proceeding to the County.
It was the consensus of the Committee that the experience of Mr. Long's group
far outweighed the difference in case cost. Accordingly, the Committee
recommends that Mr. Long's proposal for both categories be accepted by the
Board of County Commissioners and Mr. Long be awarded the contract for the
year 1997 and authorize the Chairman to execute the attached agreement.
A copy of each proposal is attached for your information.

SUBJECT: National Housing Corporation Request for Conceptual Plan
and Special Exception Planned Development Approval to
Construct a Elderly Affordable Multi -Family Development
to be Known as River Park Place
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of January 28, 1997.
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS:
Carter & Associates, Inc. has submitted an application for
conceptual plan and special exception planned development approval
on behalf of National Housing Corporation Inc. to construct a two
phase, 304 unit elderly, affordable, multi -family apartment complex
to be known as River Park Place. The project is proposed to be
developed on a 42.5 acre parcel located on the east side of Indian
River Boulevard just north of the existing Vista Gardens project.
The subject property is split zoned, with the western portion zoned
RM -10 and the eastern portion zoned RS -1 (see attachment #2).
The conceptual plan that was presented to the Planning and Zoning
Commission depicted the construction of 338 units in two phases.
Since the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the developer has
reduced the total number of proposed units from 338 to 304 and
redesigned the plan, keeping 144 units in phase I but removing two
buildings from phase II and reducing the number of units in that
phase from 194 to 160. The developer has applied for an affordable
housing density bonus, which is available through the PD (planned
development) approval process. This project's qualifications for
receiving the affordable housing density bonus are discussed in the
analysis portion of this report.
•PD Project Process
As a PD project, the process involved in review and approval of
this proposal is as follows:
JANUARY 28, 1997
21
BOOK,
Approval Needed Reviewing Body
1. Conceptual Plan/Special Exception PZC & BCC
2. Preliminary PD Plan PZC
3. Land Development Permits or Waiver Staff
4. Final PD Plat BCC
The applicant is now requesting approval of the first step. If
approved by the Board of County Commissioners, the applicant will
then need to apply for and obtain preliminary PD plan approval from
the Planning and Zoning Commission in order to proceed with the
project.
•Board of County Commissioners Consideration
Pursuant to Section 971.05 of the LDRs, the Board of County
Commissioners is to consider the appropriateness of the requested
conceptual PD plan based on the submitted PD 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.
*Planning and Zoning Commission Action
At its January 9, 1997 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission
voted (6-1) to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners
grant conceptual plan and special exception planned development
approval with conditions. The Planning and Zoning Commission
included in its recommendation 4 new conditions and modifications
to two of the 7 conditions originally recommended to the Commission
by staff. These conditions and the applicant's responses are
discussed in -detail in item #19 of the analysis section.
ANALYSIS:
1. Size of Development: 42.55 Acres
Net Size After Indian River
Boulevard Right -of -Way Dedication: 42.17 acres
2. Zoning Classifications:
27.05 acres: RM -10, Residential Multi -Family (up to 10
units/acre)
15.5 acres: RS -11 Residential Single Family (up to 1
unit/acre)
3. Land Use Designations:
27.05 acres: M-2, Medium Density Residential 2 (up to 10
units/acre)
15.5 acres: C-2, Conservation 2 (up to 1 unit/40 acres or 1
unit/acre transferrable density)
4. Phasing: The proposed development is to be constructed in two
phases, with 144 units in the first phase and 160 units in the
second phase. Each phase will contain a lake, pool, and
clubhouse facility. The first phase is located on the western
portion of the site adjacent to Indian River Boulevard. Phase
II is located immediately east -of Phase I.

Number of Units:
Proposed: 304 units
*Allowed: 340 units

housing
Off -Street Parking: Phase I: Required: 288 spaces
Provided: 288 spaces
Phase II: Required: 320 spaces
Provided: 320 spaces
Total: Required: 608 spaces
Provided: 608 spaces
Note: To reduce the required parking, the applicant wants to
reserve the right to propose a "no similar use" parking study
with the yet -to -be -submitted preliminary PD plan. At such
time as the preliminary PD plan is presented, the Planning and
Zoning Commission can consider such a request.
Density:
Allowed (with density bonus & transfer): 12.56 units/acre
Proposed (with density bonus & transfer): 11.03 units/acre
Note: The density is based on 27.05 acres of developable RM -
10 zoned property. For the overall property, the density is
7.14 units/acre based upon 304 units on 42.55 acres.
By using the affordable housing density bonus available
through the PD process, the applicant is proposing a 10%
density bonus increase above the project's normally allowed
maximum density. The applicant will also be dedicating
additional right-of-way for Indian River Boulevard and will be
compensated through a density credit. The yet -to -be -dedicated
right-of-way is included in the site's gross upland area
acreage (27 acres), as indicated below. Both the affordable
housing density bonus and the density credit as compensation
for the proposed right-of-way dedication are provided for in
the LDRs and have been applied to other previously approved
residential projects.
The total maximum number of units allowed on the project site
is as follows:
Overall Project: 42.55 acres
Environmentally Sensitive: 15.5 acres
Upland Area: 27.05 acres (effective base residential area)
26.67 X 10.0 units/acre = 266.70 units
.38 X 10 = 3.8 units right-of-way dedication density credit
270.5 X .2 = 54.1 units affordable housing density credit
15.5 X 1 unit/acre = 15.5 units density transfer from
environmental area
266.70 + 3.8 + 54.1 + 15.5 = 340.1 units or 340 units allowed
(note: 304 units are proposed).
Pursuant to section 911.14(4) (zoning chapter) of the county's
land development regulations (see attachment #4), the
applicant has requested an affordable housing density bonus of
10%, or 27 units. The applicant is providing affordable
housing through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program
administered by the Florida Housing Finance Agency (FHFA).
Under that program, the applicant is required to keep all of
23
JANUARY 28, 1997
Boor. , U FA _.
-1
the units affordable for a 15 year period. For rental
projects such as this one, "affordable" is defined in the
county's LDRs as a unit having a monthly rental rate equal to
.083 times 20% of the non -adjusted annual median family income
for Indian River County as established by the FHFA.
Satisfaction of the tax credit program requirements will
satisfy county affordable housing density bonus requirements.
Based on the proposed PD and proposed program participation,
staff has determined that the applicant meets county
requirements for a 20% affordable housing density bonus,
although a 10% density bonus is being requested. To ensure
that these requirements will be met, the applicant will need
to provide the county with a letter from the state or federal
agency responsible for funding and monitoring the project
under the tax credit program. In addition, the LDRs require
the applicant to record a restrictive covenant that specifies
the terms of the affordable housing approval, and places any
prospective buyer of the project on notice as to the terms of
approval.
8. New Impervious Surface Area: Phase I: 4.76 acres
Phase II: 5.34 acres
Total: 10.10 acres
9. Open Space: Required: RM -10: 30.0%
Provided: Phase I: 50.6%
Phase II: 58.4%
Both Phases at Buildout: 55.1%
Note: Since the area of development is entirely within the
RM -10 zoning district, the RM -10 open space criteria of 30%
was applied to the site. The RS -1 portion of the site will be
left undeveloped, providing 100% of the area as green open
space.
10. Recreation Area:
Required: Phase I: 1.73 acres
Provided: Phase I: 1.73 acres
Required: Phase II: 1.92 acres
Provided: Phase II: 2.40 acres
Both Phases at Buildout Required: 3.65 acres
Both Phases at Buildout Provided: 4.13 acres
11. Traffic: The project will be accessed from Indian River
Boulevard with a driveway that will align with 8th Street and
straddle the boundary between the project site and the site
immediately north. This driveway alignment is dependent upon
the applicant securing an easement from the property owner to
the north prior to PD plan release. If the easement is not
secured, the applicant will need to redesign the project
access with a right-in/right-out driveway located in the
middle of the property, at least 175' from the intersection of
8th Street and Indian River Boulevard.
Within the project site, an internal loop road is proposed to
service Phase I. The road will loop through the site and
provide access to various parking areas that will serve the
apartment buildings. From Phase I, the loop road will stub -
out to a loop road for Phase II, which will provide access to
the buildings within Phase II. -

The applicant has submitted a traffic impact analysis (TIA)
with the development application. The TIA has been reviewed
and approved by the Traffic Engineering Division. The
approved TIA indicates that a south bound left turn lane on
Indian River Boulevard needs to be constructed, if the
driveway aligns with 8th Street. While this is the only
required improvement based on the TIA, the Planning and Zoning
Commission has recommended that a north bound right turn lane
be constructed on Indian River Boulevard at the project
entrance for safety related reasons. Staff has included the
right turn lane in its recommendation. If the driveway is
relocated to the center of the property, traffic engineering
has indicated a right turn lane will be required. All off-
site traffic improvements will need to be completed prior to
the issuance of a C.O. for phase I.
Since the project's only major roadway point of connection
would be Indian River Boulevard, an emergency access point
from the project to Indian River Boulevard would have little
practical benefit. Therefore, planning, public works, and
emergency services staff have not required an emergency access
point for this project.
12. Stormwater Management: The public works department has
reviewed and approved the conceptual stormwater management
plan. Prior to issuance of a land development permit or land
development permit waiver, the applicant must obtain a Type
"B" stormwater management permit. Prior to obtaining a land
development permit or land development permit waiver, the
applicant must also obtain a cut and fill waiver for filling
within the floodplain. That filling is proposed as part of
project construction. It should be noted that the Type "B"
permit will require that all structures within the floodplain
be set at least I' above the FEMA minimum building finish
floor elevation for the site.
13. Concurrency: Long -Range Planning staff has indicated that a
conditional concurrency certificate will be issued for the
project prior to the Planning and Zoning Commission's
consideration of this item. Thus, all concurrency
requirements related to conceptual PD plan approval have been
satisfied.
14. Environmental Issues:
•Uplands: Since the site is over 5 acres, the native upland
set-aside provisions could potentially apply to this project.
However, the environmental planning staff has inspected the
site and verified that the site is covered with Brazilian
Peppers and that no native upland plant community exists.
Therefore, no set-aside requirement applies to this project.
•Wetlands: The project site contains extensive wetlands area,
some of which will be impacted and filled as a result of the
proposed design. The applicant is proposing to fill .33 acres
of wetlands in Phase I and 9.32 acres in Phase II for a total
area of 9.65 acres of wetlands. All wetlands that are
proposed to be filled are zoned RM -10 and are wetlands that
have been disturbed by past agricultural practices resulting
in a lower quality of wetlands. Although the LDRs allow the
proposed wetland filling, the developer will need to obtain
the proper jurisdictional agency permits and a county wetland
resource permit prior to issuance of land clearing and tree
removal permits for the project.
25
JANUARY 28, 1997
R®OK ��� F��UF'�''-/�J
The 9.65 acres of wetlands that are proposed to be filled are
not the wetlands that the county is considering purchasing for
conservation. The wetlands which the applicant is proposing
to fill are located west of the existing mosquito impoundment
dike and are non -estuarine wetlands that have been disturbed
by past agricultural development and have become a mono-
culture of Brazilian Pepper vegetation. While the applicant
has not yet applied for jurisdictional agency permits to fill
these wetlands, it is typical for wetland mitigation plans for
projects like River Park Place to place a conservation
easement over the estuarine wetland east of the dike at no
cost to the county. Thus, the county could preserve these
wetlands without acquisition cost.
15. Dedications & Improvements: Indian River Boulevard is
classified as an arterial road for which the Public Works
Director indicates 200' of right-of-way is required.
Presently, there is 150' of right-of-way that exists for
Indian River Boulevard along the site's frontage. For that
reason, an additional 25' of right-of-way will need to come
from this site to make-up its share of the 50' total
shortfall. The applicant has agreed to dedicate 25' of Indian
River Boulevard right-of-way along the site's western
boundary. The conceptual plan depicts the 25' right-of-way
dedication along with minimum PD setbacks provided from the
ultimate right-of-way line. Compensation for this dedication
is density credit for the right-of-way area. This is the same
arrangement made for the Kyle's Run development, located
northwest of the subject site. This density credit is
included in the previously described density figures and is
allowed pursuant to LDR section 952.08(1)(e).
Note: As required under section 952.08(1)(e), all site
coverage requirements and open space requirements, as
previously described in this report, are based on the net
parcel—size (gross parcel area minus the right-of-way
dedication area). Setbacks are also applied to the net parcel
area boundary. The number of allowable units, however, is
based on the gross parcel size,- since the applicant is
dedicating the right-of-way for density credit.
16. Emergency Management Issues: Based on the project being
located within a floodplain, being within a Category 1
hurricane storm surge and evacuation area, having increased
density, and designed for elderly clients (62 years and
older), the Division of Emergency Management has expressed
concerns relating to transporting and sheltering project
residents with special needs during major storms. The
developer has met with the Division of Emergency Management
staff to address these concerns.
The concerns of the Division of Emergency Management relate to
evacuation of the entire complex in the event of a Category 1
hurricane or greater, the identification, transportation, and
shelter requirements of special needs persons, and emergency
access to special needs citizens. To address the concerns
related to wholesale evacuation, the applicant will prepare an
emergency management plan for the project and obtain approval
of this plan from the Division of Emergency Management. Such
a plan will need to be approved by emergency management prior
to site plan release. To address the identification,
transportation and shelter concerns, the developer will be
required to register all special needs persons within the
project with the Department -of Emergency Services. The
registration list will need to be updated on a monthly basis.
26
JANUARY 289 1997 BOOK .�U F�c� d
To address the emergency access concerns, the developer will
incorporate key boxes in the architectural design. The boxes
will be opened via a combination that will be available
through the 911 data base system. This will speed up
emergency response and help to reduce property damage.
17. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:
North: Vacant/RS-1
South: Vista Gardens/RM-10
East: Mosquito Impoundment, Indian River/RS-1, N/A
West: Indian River Boulevard, Citrus Woods, Kyle's
Run/RM-10
18. Landscaping and Buffering: The landscape plan meets the
requirements of Chapter 926, including a 25' setback from all
project property lines. While no buffers are required based
on PD ordinance buffer section 915.16, the Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended to the applicant that a Type "B" buffer
with 3' berm be provided along the site's Indian River
Boulevard boundary and a Type "B" buffer with 3' berm be
provided along the site's Vista Gardens Boundary to increase
compatibility with the adjacent uses. The applicant agreed to
provide these buffers. The buffers should be completed prior
to issuance of a C.O. for the project's first unit.
19. Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation: As referenced
at the beginning of this report, the Planning and Zoning
Commission voted 6-1 to recommend approval of the project with
six additional conditions. These conditions are as follows:
a. The Planning and Zoning Commission modified staff's
originally recommended condition 1(c) to increase the
buffering required. Staff originally recommended that a
Type "C" buffer with a 6' opaque feature be constructed
along the south property line and a Type "C" buffer with
a 3' opaque feature be constructed along the west ( Indian
River Boulevard) frontage. The Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended that the buffers be increased to
a Type "B" buffer with a 3' berm along both property
lines. The applicant has agreed to provide these
increased buffers, and these buffers are included in the
recommendation at the end of this report.
b. The Planning and Zoning Commission added to staff's
originally recommended condition 1(d) regarding traffic
improvements. The Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended that a north bound right turn lane be
provided at the project's Indian River Boulevard
entrance. The applicant has agreed to provide this
improvement, and this improvement is included in the
recommendation at the end of this report.
C. The Planning and Zoning Commission expanded upon the
covenant requirements in condition l(g)(2) of staff's
report. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
that the developer commit to a 50 year term to provide
affordable elderly housing with both phases. The
developer has agreed to file a 50 year restrictive
covenant for phase I, but not phase II. It is staff's
opinion that the applicant would need to file a covenant
prior to site plan release for phase II, in order to
comply with the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommendation. The covenant requirement for phase II
could be changed if a different type project was approved
27
JANUARY 28, 1997
BOOK P1�G•
by the Board of County Commissioners in the future.
Therefore, the recommendation at the end of this report
includes a condition that prior to site plan release for
each phase, the applicant must submit a 50 year elderly
housing covenant for that phase.
d. The Planning and Zoning Commission was concerned about
access to phase II of the project through the phase I
Proposed parking lot. To address this concern, the
developer has agreed to provide internal access, separate
from the proposed phase I parking lot, to phase II.
This condition is reflected in the recommendation at the
end of this report.
e. Based upon concerns regarding density bonus increases,
the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the
total number of units be reduced from 338 to 304 units.
The applicant has agreed to the reduction, which reflects
a 27 unit (10%) rather than a 54 unit (20%) bonus. The
304 unit limitation is reflected in the recommendation at
the end of this report.
f. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the
internal traffic circulation design be adequate to
provide access for all types of emergency vehicles.
Staff indicated that the conceptual plan had been
reviewed by emergency services and traffic engineering
and that a more detailed review will occur as a matter of
normal procedures, during preliminary PD plan review.
Also, the applicant indicated that he intends to ensure
adequate design. Since adequate geometric design for
emergency vehicle traffic is required in the LDRs and
will be addressed during preliminary PD plan review (by
staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission), no
specific condition is required in relation to conceptual
plan approval in staff's opinion.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County
Commissioners grant special exception use and PD conceptual plan
approval for the 304 unit River Park Place affordable elderly
housing project, with the following conditions:
1. Prior to or via the final PD plat, 25' of property along the
site's western border shall be dedicated for Indian River
Boulevard right-of-way. Said dedication is compensated by a
density credit reflected in the approved PD plan.
2. Prior to the issuance of land clearing and tree removal
permits, the applicant shall obtain all required
Jurisdictional agency and local permits for the proposed
wetland filling.
3. Prior to the issuance of a C.O. for any unit, the buffers
referenced in section 18 of this report shall be constructed.
4. Prior to preliminary PD plan release, the applicant shall
obtain an access easement (acceptable to the county attorney's
office) for the proposed common driveway access to Indian
River Boulevard, or shall redesign the project to have a
right-in/right-out access in the middle of the project's
Indian River Boulevard frontage in a manner acceptable to the
County Traffic Engineer. -

5. Prior to PD plan release, the developer shall obtain approval
of an emergency management plan for the facility.
6. Upon occupancy of project units, the developer shall provide
to county emergency services on-going monthly registration of
special needs residents.
7. In return for the housing density bonus granted, the project
shall be allowed a maximum of 304 residential units at project
build -out. In addition, the following affordable housing
conditions shall apply:
a. Prior to the issuance of a land development permit or
land development permit waiver for the project, the
applicant shall submit to the county a letter from a
state or federal agency verifying that the project is
committed to a state or federal housing program which
satisfies the county's affordable housing requirements
for rental units as found in LDR section 911.14(4), and
that a state or federal agency will monitor project
compliance with affordable housing requirements.
b. That prior to issuance of a C.O. for any affordable
housing rental units, the developer shall comply with the
covenant requirements of LDR section 911.14(4)(a)2.f.
The covenant shall require a 50 year commitment to
provide elderly affordable housing for both phases.
8. Prior to issuance of a C.O. for phase I, the developer shall
construct a south bound left turn lane on Indian River
Boulevard at the project entrance, if the entrance aligns with
8th Street. Also, prior to issuance of a C.O. for phase I,
the developer shall construct a north bound right turn lane at
the project's Indian River Boulevard entrance.
9. Prior to preliminary PD approval
shall be designed for phase II
through phase I parking areas.

Attorney Vitunac advised that the law states that for the
Board to base a negative vote, the Board must find by competent,
substantial evidence in the record that the applicant failed to
prove one of the elements necessary for the special exception.
In response to Chairman Eggert's question about an
acceleration lane onto Indian River Boulevard, Public Works
Director Jim Davis explained that the DOT and the County are shying
away from acceleration lanes going onto fast moving highways
because it is safer to access a road when you have to stop and wait
for a break.
Commissioner Adams recalled that at last year's Value
Adjustment Board hearings Indian River Apartments and Sandy Pines
challenged their assessments because the developments were federal
housing projects that limited rents to the same rent for 15 years.
They based their appeals on the fact that they could not raise
their rents. The Value Adjustment Board upheld the assessments,
however, and she understood there is a suit pending. Commissioner
Adams was concerned that if this development is approved, the
developer might come back and say that they don't want to pay any
taxes.
Deputy County Attorney Will Collins explained that the
developers of those affordable housing projects were saying that
their income stream had been frozen or fixed and that the valuation
of the property should be based on the valuation of that income
stream. The Property Appraiser contended that they should be
assessed based on all the value of the property which includes the
fair market value and the value of the tax credits to the
investors. He imposed a fair market value based on comparable
units in other areas, not limiting it to the income approach.
Attorney Collins understood that two suits have been filed by two
of these affordable housing developers and the matter is not yet
resolved.
Director Keating advised that a number of affordable housing
developments are in the application process this year and are
competing at the same state level. Some won't get funded because
it is a competitive process. He believed there are 7 developments
in the unincorporated area of the county who have applied along
with one in the City of Vero Beach and one in the City of
Sebastian.
Commissioner Adams understood that if the applicant cannot get
the federal grant, they cannot get the tax credit.

Director Keating gave a brief explanation of the voucher
process for elderly occupants in the existing Section VIII housing
program.
Attorney Vitunac advised that the applicant has the initial
burden of proof to go forward, and having met that burden, the
Board must give the special exception requested unless the Board
makes findings that the special exception would not be compatible
or consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Other reasons
would be that there would be adverse impacts or that the public
interest would be served.
Attorney Vitunac referred to the Snyder case which did away
with the Board's ability to act as a legislative body in matters
such as these and requires the Board to act in a quasi judicial
manner. If compatibility is the issue, then some evidence has to
be presented that can be taken to court.
Chairman Eggert opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone
wished to be heard in this matter.
Bruce Barkett, attorney representing National Housing
Corporation, introduced the members of the development team before
beginning his arguments for special exception approval. Attorney
Barkett advised that a conservation easement will be granted over
the wetlands so they won't need all the density transfer. Those
wetlands cannot be developed unless the County releases the
conservation easement.
Attorney Barkett advised that all of the units will be
affordable housing for the elderly, which requires that one member
of the family be 62 years of age or older. The access easement at
the north end of the project was obtained just yesterday and their
driveway will align with 8th Street. Attorney Barkett stressed
that all of the conditions and recommendations made by staff and
the Planning & Zoning Commission have been agreed to by the
applicant.
Ray Batt, 36 Vista Gardens Trail, chairman of the Vista
Gardens planning & zoning committee, stated that he lives within 20
feet of the project. He expressed their concern about the
increased traffic the proposed development would bring to Indian
River Boulevard. In his arguments against the Board giving special
exception approval to River Park Place, Mr. Batt made the following
points:
33
JANUARY 289 1997
F,
♦ Referenced a quote by Commissioner Adams in a newspaper
article published last year about the difficulty Vista
residents are having getting out into traffic and that we
need to light a fire before someone is killed.
♦ Referenced a computer print-out of last year's traffic
counts.
♦ Stated that in the past 2 years, 30 accidents have occurred
in that vicinity which includes U.S. #1.
♦ Showed a slidefilm on accident history.
♦ Referenced staff's recommendation of 9.55 units per acre
made at last year's meeting.
♦ Stated that River Park Place is not compatible with Vista
Gardens.
♦ Emphasized that if you overcrowd the land, you will
overcrowd the road.
Mr. Batt concluded by requesting that the proposed development
be limited to 272 units, which can be accomplished very easily by
eliminating two buildings. He showed a picture of Ryles Run which
is built out at 12 units per acre (upa) and commented that this is
what happens when you award density credits and transfer rights.
He urged the Board to not let that be our legacy to our children
and our grandchildren.
Ted Averson, resident of Building #30 in Vista Gardens, stated
that his building is 25 feet from the boundary line of the proposed
housing development. He spoke of the incompatibility of River Park
Place to Vista Gardens and wished to see a 6 -ft. buffer between the
two developments that would be a natural berm with plantings above
the berm. Mr. Averson also wished to see a task force named to
study plantings on residential property developments along frontage
on Indian River Boulevard from 4th Street to 53rd Avenue. He
referred to Kyles Run as a blue monstrosity.
Bill Bischke, resident of Building 38 in Vista Gardens, was
very much in favor of low income housing. However, he was
concerned about this project being defined as affordable housing
for the elderly because he understood that only one person in the
household has to be 62 years or older. He pointed out that after
a lease is signed, a daughter or son or anyone could move in and
bring their children which would result in overcrowding. He wanted
to see a continuous 6 -ft. buffer along Indian River Boulevard, and
suggested that the developer remove Building 9 from the first phase
34

because it sits right on the southern boundary. He pointed out
that the traffic counts in the TIA studies did not include the full
build -out occupancy levels of Ryles Run and Citrus Woods.
Lucy Salvatore, 20 Vista Gardens Trail, asked that the Board
1) Deny bonus density credits and transfer rights.
2) Impose a landscaping plan for the frontage on Indian River
Boulevard which would require a 6 -ft. buffer.
3) Appoint a task force to make recommendations for future
growth along the Boulevard.
4) Impose a building moratorium while studies are being done.
Chuck Riatto, 14 Vista Gardens Trail, presented a petition
signed by 853 concerned residents in and around Indian River
Boulevard who oppose the special exception. He emphasized that
they would have had a lot more petitions but they only had one
week's time to collect signatures. Mr. Riatto clarified that they
do not object to senior housing as they are seniors themselves and
Vista Gardens is a "55 plus" community.

Sam Alia, 47 Woodland Drive in Vista Royale, was opposed to
the proposed development because of increased traffic and decreased
safety. He urged the Board to do something about it now and limit
densities in the south county area. Indian River Boulevard is
building up fast and if this project is allowed to be built there,
those people will be in the same danger as the residents of Vista
Royale and Vista Gardens when they try to get out on to traffic on
U.S. #1. He urged the Board to deny special exception approval for
River Park Place.
Jim Granse, 36 Pine Arbor Lane, stated that he and his wife
bought their unit in Vista Gardens in 1977. It seemed to him that
this would be like developing an ant colony where you kick the ant
hill and everybody comes out. He opposed the high densities of the
proposed development.
Robin Lloyd, representing the owners of Citrus Woods, formally
questioned the following people about specific items regarding the
proposed development:
Director Beating - upland acreage, wetlands
Senior Planner John McCoy - building height, the Kimley-Horn
traffic study that was done for Carter & Associates,
present signalization of 8th Street, number of northbound
and southbound traffic trips at peak hour, peak season
Deputy County Attorney Will Collins - pending litigation
on assessments based on fair market value
Ray Batt - $65,000 average market value for 2 -bedroom 2 -bath
unit in Vista Gardens, Plan A
Attorney Lloyd explained that he asked these questions for a
reason. Citrus Gardens does not have an objection to 270 units,
but they do have a concern about 304 units being built there. If
this density is approved, there will be 684 units within a mile and
a half. They oppose the special exception and recommend that the
development be required to meet all wetland requirements and that
all the people residing there be elderly. Attorney Lloyd urged the
Board to consider the impact of this development on the county tax
roll and the economical impact on his client in Citrus Woods who
did not receive an affordable housing density bonus. He hoped the
Board would rule properly.

Attorney Collins asked that the River Park Place Traffic
Impact Analysis by Kimley-Horn be made a part of the record.
(COPY IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD)
Bill Koolage, 6 -year resident of Vista Gardens, emphasized
that the speed limit on Indian River Boulevard is 45 mph but people
drive faster than that. The exit and entrance to Vista Gardens is
a serious matter. He could not understand the Planning
Department's recommendation on this development.
Jane Abbot, biologist and resident of Building 28 in Vista
Gardens, stated that Florida ranks 50th in water control in all of
the United States and she could not understand how the Board can
even consider filling any wetlands.
Bruce Barkett, attorney representing the applicant, felt the
need for affordable housing has been demonstrated. He introduced
into the record letters written by Commissioners Eggert, Adams, and
Tippin to Mrs. Susan J. Leigh, Florida Housing Finance Agency,
asking that IRC not be removed from the County Targeting List for
affordable housing.
Attorney Barkett also introduced into the record a letter

In addition, Attorney Barkett introduced into the record
letters written to the Florida Housing Finance Agency by State
Senator Patsy Kurth and State Representative Charles Sembler.
(COPIES OF LETTERS ARE ON FILE IN OFFICE OF CLERK TO THE BOARD)
Attorney Barkett advised that the State has responded to the
letters by putting the county back on the program.
With regard to the concerns expressed about increased traffic
impact, Attorney Barkett pointed out that they have to be addressed
by traffic experts and the people here today have not done that.
He asked Mr. Batt if he was a traffic expert, and Mr. Batt said he
was not.

In closing, Attorney Barkett explained that the only reason
this is a Planned Development is because it is the only vehicle to
obtain an affordable housing density bonus. He wished to point out
that the land for the entrance to Vista Gardens from Indian River
Boulevard was donated by Ed Schlitt, owner of the subject property.
Elliot stone, National Housing Corporation, Inc., applicant,
explained that the elderly requirement is that at least 50% of the
residents in each unit must be 62 years of age or older.
In response to Chairman Eggert's inquiry, Mr. Stone did not
believe it was possible to add a 55 and over restriction under the
affordable housing guide lines. Mr. Stone advised that the units
in both Phase I and Phase II are all 1 and 2 bedrooms. The rent is
based on median income and will be $250 to $404 a month for a one
bedroom unit. The rent is paid totally by the resident, and if the
resident cannot pay the rent, the resident can be evicted under a
standard apartment lease. The government's contribution is tax
credits to the developer and the developer commits to provide rents
at a below market rate. Mr. Stone further explained that the
State, through the IRS, gives tax credits to the development and
they are sold to a limited partnership to provide equity into the
property. That enables the developer to have a lower mortgage than
he would otherwise and allow him to provide the housing at lower
rent. Mr. Schlitt is selling National Housing Corporation the
property and the title actually will be in the name of River Park
Associates Limited Partnership. Mr. Stone stated that National
Corporation has developments in several states on the east coast
and have not gone to court over the manner in which properties have
been assessed. He stated that they will be paying taxes on the
value of the property as the Property Appraiser assesses it.
Commissioner Ginn asked if these tax credits are salable, and
Mr. Stone explained that the credits are tied to the property.
Once they are sold, the limited partnership has full rights to
oversee and make sure the property is well maintained.
Commissioner Macht believed that some of the compatibility
concerns could be alleviated by putting the recreation building
where Building 9 is slated to go, and Mr. Stone stated that if it
were possible, they would try to do that. He didn't want to commit
to that, but they.would definitely take a look at it. He stressed
again that they reduced the number of units by 32, and if they had
gone through the regular site plan process, there would have been
no buffering requirements and only a 10 -ft setback. Mr. Stone
39
JANUARY 28, 1997
BOOKl u d ��AU-z g

emphasized that they are making every effort to make this an
attractive addition to the community.
Commissioner Macht asked about the possibility of the
buildings having a mansard type roof instead of a peaked roof, and
Mr. Elliot responded that he would have a problem accepting that
design with regard to his budget.
Ed Schlitt, owner/developer, gave a brief history of this
property and some of the surrounding property, confirming that he
did donate the property for access on to Indian River Boulevard
from Vista Gardens.
An unidentified gentleman spoke from his seat in the audience
asking about the density bonus and transfer, and Director Keating
explained that the developer has applied for an affordable housing
density bonus, which is available through the PD (planned
development) approval process. By using the affordable housing
density bonus, the applicant is proposing a 10% density bonus
increase above the projects' normally allowed maximum density.
Sam Alia asked where the sewer connection is going to be, and
Director Keating believed the developer will go to the South County
plant. Chairman Eggert interjected that the sewer hookup is a site
plan matter and cannot be discussed now.
Mr. Alia just wanted to note that Vista is having a problem
with their sewer plant.
There being no others who wished to be heard, Chairman Eggert
closed the Public Hearing.
County Attorney Vitunac advised that the Board is acting as
quasi judges in this matter. The applicant has to meet all the
requirements under our PD rules, and staff believes they have. The
Board has heard some evidence against the special exception, but a
denial of the special exception must be supported by some evidence
presented for the record.
Commissioner Tippin didn't like the project, but he wasn't too
thrilled with Vista Gardens either. As a practical person, however,
he respected other people and where they wish to live. He would
like to see a corridor study done on the Boulevard as well as
improved landscaping and wanted the Board to revisit the
40
JANUARY 28, 1997 BOOK GO a F�Apf.
ingress/egress out of Vista Royale on to U.S. #1 because that is a
problem that needs attention.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Tippin, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, that the Board approve the
special exception with the conditions added by the
Planning & Zoning Commission and listed in staff's
recommendation.
Under discussion, Commissioner Adams wanted the Motion to
include that the conservation easement be granted ahead of time.
She also expressed concern about approving these affordable housing
developments if we are going to see the property assessments
challenged. She wished to see affordable housing for our young
people, too. Commissioner Adams suggested that after this Motion
is out of the way, the Board set some policy decision on what is
coming down the road with regard to affordable housing
developments.
COMMISSIONER TIPPIN SAID HE WOULD BE GLAD TO ADD THE
REQUIREMENT OF A CONSERVATION EASEMENT TO HIS MOTION AND ALSO
A 6 -FT. OPAQUE BUFFER ON THE SOUTH BOUNDARY OF THE PROJECT.
Commissioner Ginn stated she could not support the Motion for
several reasons: traffic, safety, compatibility, etc.
Chairman Eggert supported the Motion but would like to see a
greater buffer along the western side (Indian River Boulevard).
Commissioner Macht supported the Motion because if it fails to
pass, the developer has a right to come back in with a regular site
plan which might include improvements with greater impact.
COMMISSIONER TIPPIN RESTATED HIS MOTION FOR APPROVAL WITH THE
ADDED CONDITIONS: 1) Require a Conservation Easement; 2)
Remove the choice of wooden fencing; 3) Require a 6 -ft.
opaque buffer along the western boundary of the project as
well as on the southern boundary.

SEAWALLS AT SUNDMIPLACE
The Board reviewed the following letter dated 1/23/97:
Attention: The Secretary
Board of County Commissioners
1840 25th Street
Vero Beach, FL 32960
Dear Alice,
January 23, 1997
With reference to our conversation today, we hereby request being added to the
next Board meeting to address the following:
On behalf of the following Summerplace property owners:
Brenda and Dirk Parvus
9440 Doubloon Drive
Anne E. Strand
9450 Doubloon Drive
Peter J. Trimarche
9460 Doubloon Drive
Patricia King
9470 Doubloon Drive
Richard T. Simpson, Jr.
9480 Doubloon Drive
R. Seth McCoy
9490 Doubloon Drive
We hereby request a modification to the sea wall permit that was issued by the
board in July, 1996, to the 13 property owners north of the pervious sea wall permit
issued to 8 property owners at Summerplace. One of the stipulations that the commission
imposed on this permit was that the wall must be continuous. Unfortunately some
Property owners declined the sea wall and most of their houses are now up for sale.
The above 6 property owners are directly to the north of the current sea wall and
the modification requested, is to permit the continuation of the sea wall to include the
above 6 properties. The resultant sea wall will be a continuous wall covering 14 instead of
the current 8 houses in Summeiplace.
In compliance with the board's request, we have applied to the Department of
Environmental Protection (D.E.P.) for a CCCL permit and the application is still in
process. The need for urgent modification to the existing sea wall permit is because time
is of the essence as:
1. According to Cangionelli Construction; the current sea wall will be
completed in approximately 1 week.
2. If there is no permit to continue with the sea wall, the wall will need
to be cut back 35 feet at an additional cost of at least $10,000 and significant
destruction of the trees and gardens of the Partys and Worloch residences.
3. The construction equipment will be moved and an additional cost of
$25,000 will be incurred by the property owners when the equipment is brought
back and set up after a permit is obtained. Therefore, a total of $35,000 in
additional costs will be born by the Summerplace property owners if the wall is not
continued now.
4. In less than 6 weeks the turtle season will be upon us and this gives the
construction company barely enough time to complete the project.
5. The above property owners will endure another storm season and erosion
without the protection of a sea wall in fact the erosion may be increased due to the
presence of the existing wall. If the sea wall is extended at a later date,.Mr.
Cangionelli cannot guarantee compatible steel material which he has available now
(using the deposits we have already paid to him) and the aesthetic continuity of
the wall cannot be guaranteed.
For the above reasons we pray common sense will prevail in modifying the permit
and avoid a severe injustice being done to us.
Yours truly,
Brenda and Dirk Parvus

Public Works Director Jim Davis showed aerial shots of the
location of the 6 homes in the request, noting that the need to
speed this up is that the contractor is there now finishing up the
seawall that was permitted last spring.
Coastal Engineer Jeff Tabar had several concerns about
bringing this request forward. One is the use of Wabasso Park to
stage the construction and holding the contractor responsible for
restoring the park after construction of the wall is completed.
That contract is under consideration now. Mr. Tabar explained that
the access still would be through Wabasso Beach Park.
Mr. Tabar's other concern was the increased height of the
seawall that was permitted last spring. The photographs show that
the wall is almost 13-14 feet high, but the original plans had
shown 7 ft. above grade. He questioned the justification for the
increase, noting that County staff was not informed of this
increased height.
Commissioner Adams advised that the permit was with the County
and no one else had the authority to give an increase in height.
She had requested that information last fall, and the State said
they were not aware of it. Commissioner Adams felt we should have
issued a stop work order when that occurred. She was quite
concerned that they went ahead and did that after she went out on
a limb to try to help.
Director Davis explained that the DEP visited the site, but
the County wasn't privy to all the meetings taking place and was
not aware of the changes taking place. This is still considered a
temporary permit until the DEP issues a permanent permit. It would
be very expensive to move the seawall or decrease the height of it.
Unless they can justify the height increase, a letter will go forth
asking them to change the wall and he was sure that would not be
received amicably.
Commissioner Adams just felt that it doesn't give the County
much credibility if the contractor takes it upon himself to make
those changes. She remained concerned that she has not seen any
type of a site plan showing where these seawalls would be situated
on the property. She was very concerned that the contractor seems
to be taking advantage of this by increasing the height of the
seawall.
Commissioner Adams pointed out that the people who are coming
in now need a wall and she felt we must be consistent in giving the
emergency permits. However, the Simpson residence is the only
residence that met the criteria established for obtaining a seawall
43
JANUARY 28, 1997
BOOK�,

I
emergency permit and it is staff's recommendation that the seawall
not be extended except for the Simpson residence.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, that the Board grant an
emergency permit for the 6 residences upon receiving
site plans showing the location and height of the
wall.
Under discussion, Commissioner Adams wished to amend the
Motion to include the approval subject to the conditions set out in
our criteria for the issuance of an emergency seawall permit.
Director Davis affirmed that the property owners would have to
meet all the conditions.
Dirk Parvis, owner of the first house south of the seawall
permitted for 8 property owners at Summerplace, believed the DEP
visited the site and indicated that the seawall would have to be
increased in height.
Commissioner Adams wished the DEP had communicated with the
County at that time.
Vince Bruno, representing Dr. Simpson, pointed out that the
Simpson residence is in the most precarious position today. This
is an emergency. He agreed that the height of the seawall is most
important, but there are 6 people who are willing to pay to have
this wall extended while the equipment is in place. He urged the
Board to issue a permit to have the wall extended southward to
protect the 6 residences there.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
The Motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Adams felt we need to address the height increase
on the permitted seawall and get some resolution to that. She
would like to see this come back in 2 weeks with something from DEP
indicating their approval of the height increase.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously requested
staff to bring this matter back to the Board in 2
weeks with justification for the increased height on
the wall that has already been built.
44
JANUARY 28, 1997 �a mE 11-9
Commissioner Tippin agreed that this is a matter of good
faith. He was concerned that the contractor sat in this very room
and did not apprise us of this change. He was very anxious about
the restoration of Wabasso Park and cautioned that it will take an
awful lot of restoration to satisfy him. He asked that staff relay
that message to the contractor.
WABASSO COMMUN11Y DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)

ROUMELIS & ASSOC.
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 1/17/97:
TO: James E. Chandler,
County Administrator
FROM: James W. Davis, P.E.,
Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Amendment #1 to Work Order #1 -
Agreement with Clark, Roumelis, and Associates (CRA)
For Administering Wabasso Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) Program
REF. LETTER: W. H. 'Bud' Clark to Edwin Fry dated Jan. 10, 1997
DATE: January 17, 1997
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
Now that the preliminary environmental assessment is complete for the Wabasso CDBG
project, the County's grant administration consultant, Clark, Roumelis, and Associates,
Inc., has indicated that the project can be accelerated and completion is scheduled for
Dec., 1997. The Consultant is requesting that the payment of their remaining
administration fee, $52,100, be paid over a twelve month period instead of a seventeen
month period as specified in the Original Agreement between the County and CRA. The
resulting monthly payment to CRA would be $4,341.67 for twelve months, instead of
$3,064.70 for seventeen months.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
By accelerating the project, the County can apply sooner for additional CDBG projects.
All costs will be reimbursed by the CDBG program.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
Staff recommends approval of Amendment #1 to Work Order # 1 between Indian River
County and CRA.

BY: DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES
SUBJECT: DIRECT BANK PAYMENTS FOR UTILITY CUSTOMERS
In response to requests from customers regarding direct bank
payments, it is this department's intent to make this service
available to Indian River County utility customers. It is our
belief that many of our customers will take advantage of this
service as soon as it is available. We believe that this service
is convenient for our seasonal residents, making it easier to pay
their utility bills without the inconvenience of delayed mail or
changing mailing addresses.
ANALYSIS
Attached is a survey letter that will be mailed to each of our
customers to request their input and suggestions regarding the
UtilityPay service. There are many advantages to using the
"UtilityPay" service, including a reduction in the number of
payments that will be delivered to our dropboxes, less accounts
incurring a late fee due to mail delays, a reduction in
administrative costs to process address changes and delinquent
accounts, etc. The UtilityPay service will be a benefit to all
of our customers
We are before the Board of County. Commissioners to request
authorization to proceed with the mailing of the survey letter
and to develop a program necessary to provide this service. The
program and development time will be purchased from Innovative
Network at a cost of $9,100.00 (140 Hrs of labor at $65.00 per
hour). Please see the attached invoice for further details.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of
Utility
Services requests that
the
Board of County Commissioners
review
the attached letter
for
comments and suggestions and
approve for the department
to
proceed with the development
of the
program to provide this
service.

Commissioner Adams felt that the survey mentioned should wait
until we get on with our program. She understood there would be
greater security by having a bank handle this service rather than
a company we obtained through our bidding process.
Utilities Director Terry Pinto advised that our computers
would have to be adjusted to accommodate the bookkeeping for what
is needed. The amount that is given here is an estimate for the
programming of our system to communicate with their system.
Commissioner Adams asked if Innovative Network was obtained
through our bidding process, and Director Pinto stated that this is
the same firm that is doing the program for our existing system.
This amount is a one time thing. It is a benefit to us, but
whether it will pay for itself is another matter.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously authorized
the development of a program to provide this service
without doing a survey and approved the firm of
Innovative Network at a cost of $9,100 (140 hours of
labor at $65 per hour).

BY: DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES
SUBJECT: DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT FOR SCHOMMER PROPERTY
SEWER PROJECT IN SEBASTIAN
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. CCS/615
BACKGROUND
Alan Schommer and Katherine P. Siebert have requested that Indian
River County Utilities provide sewer service to their property
located along Indian River Drive, north of Martin Avenue, in
Sebastian. Initially, Washington Plaza (located on the Schommer
parcel) will connect to water and sewer. Mr. Schommer has agreed
to have the necessary facilities constructed and dedicated to the
County through a Developer's Agreement (see attached Developer's
Agreement).
ANALYSIS
This agreement will provide a lift station adequately sized to
serve the area adjacent to the collection system designated as
"Phase 1" and "Phase 2" shown on Exhibit A of the attached
Developer's Agreement. The "Phase 1" gravity sewer main,
consisting of 795 feet of 8" PVC pipe, will also be constructed
along Indian River Drive, north and south of the lift station.
Implementation of this Developer's Agreement will provide gravity
sewer service to 11 parcels of land, initially, with an additional
30 parcels to be served upon extension of the "Phase 2" gravity
lines (see attached Cost Sharing Analysis). Construction of this
project enables future restaurants and businesses to be in
conformance with Environmental Health's requirement that all
commercial developments along the Indian River connect to County
sewer.
Money for over -sizing of the lift station and construction of the
"Phase 1" collection system will be recovered in the future as
adjacent properties connect. For details of the cost sharing, see
Exhibit A, Exhibit B and the Cost Sharing Analysis table. The
total estimated project cost is $135,600.00. The County's portion
will not exceed $122,817.48 (see attached Developer's Agreement).
Funding for this project will be paid, temporarily from the impact

fee fund. Mr. Schommer has paid $65,936.00 in impact fees to allow
Washington Plaza to connect to water and sewer. Eventually, at
least $41,210.00 in additional impact fees will be paid by "Phase
i" customers and $123,630.00 will be paid by "Phase 2" customers
(based on one ERU per parcel).
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners approve the attached Developer's
Agreement as presented, approve the future recovery of costs
contributed to the sewer system and authorize the Chairman to
execute the same.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously approved
the Developer's Agreement with Alan Schommer and

BACKGROUND and ANALYSIS
Attached is an agreement between Indian River County Utilities
and Gifford Elderly Housing, Ltd., for water and sewer service to
the referenced project developed under the name of Sunset
Apartments.
The owner agrees to pay water and sewer impact fees in the amount
of $49,452.00, based on an estimated usage of 2,520 gallons per
day, a clubhouse and two washing machines (Water ERUs at a rate
of $1,570 x 12 = $18,840.00; Sewer ERUs at a rate of $2,551 x 12
= $30,612.00).

The Department of Utility Services will monitor the usage of
water and sewer for a period of 24 months. At the end of the two
year period, an adjustment will be made on the account based on
the actual usage by the development during the first 24 months.
A Unit Designation will be established for this type of facility
for impact fee billing purposes. Please refer to the copy of the
attached agreement for further details.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that
the Board of County Commissioners approve the agreement between
Indian River County Utilities and Gifford Elderly Housing, Ltd.,
as presented.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Ginn, to approve the Developer's
Agreement with Gifford Elderly Housing, Ltd., as
recommended by staff.
Under discussion, Commissioner Ginn asked if we are using a
different methodology to figure out the rates on this project, and
Utilities Director Terry Pinto explained that our present ordinance
does not have a category for elderly housing, but it does give us
the ability to create one. This would be different than the rate
for condos and apartments because these units do not have washing
machines, etc., and they do not think it is fair to charge them for
a full unit. We think it is fair to track them for a while to
establish a category.
Commissioner Ginn was concerned that others would come seeking
special treatment, and Director Pinto explained that they would
have to meet the same criteria in order to receive a special
category.
Commissioner Ginn was also concerned about trailer parks that
restrict residents from having washers and dryers, but Director
Pinto explained that many of the manufactured homes in the
community are larger than some homes in the county, such as those
in Rockridge.
Director Pinto advised that this is just a study to determine
what the normal use is for this type of facility.
Attorney Vitunac believed that we have the authority to do so
because we have done so on a number of categories in the Solid
Waste Disposal District.

PREPARED GENE A. RAUTH
AND STAFFED MANAGER WATER / WASTEWATER OPERATIONS
BY: DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES
SUBJECT: INDIAN RIVER COUNTY RFP #6073 - MAINTENANCE
OF WATER STORAGE TANKS - GIFFORD, KINGS
HIGHWAY, AND ROSELAND
On June 21, 1996 the Department of Utility Services submitted a request for proposals (RFP
#6073) for maintenance services for the County's elevated water storage tanks (see attached RFP
#6073), a total of 2 proposals were received on August 13, 1996. The staff then proceeded with
the standard CCNA (Consultants Competitive Negotiations Act) selection process.
On December 3, 1996, the Board of County Commissioners authorized the staff of the
Department of Utility Services to proceed with negotiations for a contract for maintenance of the
County's three elevated water storage tanks with the firm of Utility Service Company, Inc.
ANALYSIS
Attached are three proposed contracts for maintenance of the County's elevated water storage
tanks as negotiated by staff with the firm of Utility Service Company, Inc. and a fourth contract
for immediate repairs to the Gifford tank. The repairs on the Gifford tank are needed at this time
in order to place the tank in it's best operating condition. Once we have achieved this, a
maintenance contract can be entered into with Utility Services Company Inc. Also included for
review are Tank Maintenance Analysis Worksheets on each of the County's three elevated water
storage tanks summarizing historical maintenance costs. With the present method of performing.
tank maintenance, the yearly average for each tank is as follows:
GIFFORD
$19,930.00 / YR
KINGS HIGHWAY
$13,009.00 / YR
ROSELAND
$583.00/ YR
TOTAL
$33,522.00 / YR
54
JANUARY 28, 1997 BOOK 10U, %E 41
Due to the young age of the Roseland elevated tank, the staff has analyzed and adjusted the
maintenance cost of both the historical and proposed, to be the same as the Kings Highway
elevated tank. This assumption is based on the similarity of the two elevated tanks (same
manufacture, size, physical, operating, and environmental characteristics). With the adjusted cost
considered for the Roseland tank and the present method of performing tank maintenance, the
adjusted historical yearly average for each tank is as follows:
GIFFORD
KINGS HIGHWAY
ROSELAND
TOTAL
$19,930.00 / YR
$13,009.00 / YR
$13009.00 / YR
$45,948.00 / YR
Under the present method of in-house tank maintenance an escalating cost trend is occuring.
This is best seen in the Gifford elevated water storage tank by looking at both the time period
between major repairs and the yearly average costs.
TIME PERIOD BETWEEN YEARS TOTAL COST DURING YEARLY
MAJOR REPAIRS TIME PERIOD AVG COST
1987-1992
1993-1997
6YRS $92,252.00
5 YRS $105,156.00
$15,373.00
$21,031.00
As can be seen by the Gifford elevated tank's data, the time period between major repairs is
decreasing while the cost of maintaining the Gifford elevated tank is increasing. To address this
trend the staff has put these costs into perspective. The staff has analyzed the ongoing and
projected maintenance costs by evaluating the elevated storage tanks over a six year maintenance
cycle. With this methodology the proposed average yearly cost for maintaining each of the three
tanks would be as follows:
GIFFORD
$12,578.00 / YR
KINGS HIGHWAY
$23,855.00 / YR
ROSELAND
$23.855.00/ YR
TOTAL
$60,288.00 / YR
As shown on each of the three Tank Maintenance Analysis Worksheets, a cost savings to Indian
River County could be realized if the proposed six year maintenance cycle were to be contracted
out, as is the staff's intention. The average yearly cost for each of the County's three elevated
tanks would be as follows:
GIFFORD
KINGS HIGHWAY
ROSELAND
TOTAL
$11,236.00 / YR
$15,275.00/ YR
$15275.00/ YR
$41,786.00/ YR
This would result in an average yearly cost savings of $18,502.00.
(60,288.00 minus 41,786.00 = 18,502.00)
There are many benefits to using this type of system for tank maintenance. The staff of the
Department of Utility Services seeks approval of the three maintenance contracts for the County's
three elevated water storage tanks, and approval of the fourth contract for immediate tank repairs
to the Gifford tank at a cost of $85,873.00, as was included in the original RFP as a direct price
quote.
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County
Commissioners approve and execute the attached contracts with Utility Service Company, Inc.
as presented.

ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by

ETHICS ORDINANCE
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 1/9/97:
January 9, 1997
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Terrence P. O'Brien - Assistant County Attorney IFO
RE: ETHICS ORDINANCE
At its regular meeting of December 18, 1996 the Board of County Commissioners discussed the
County's ethics ordinance and the matter was referred to Commissioner Macht for his
consideration after consultation with our office.
One of the areas of concern that was discussed with the Commissioner was how to treat
invitations to open house type receptions given by persons or firms who do business with the
County. Receptions of this nature typically occur during the holiday season or on the
anniversary of a firm or grand opening. Under the current ethics code, attendance is not
prohibited but the cost of the food or drink consumed is regulated to $6.00 for luncheons and
$12.00 for dinners. This causes several concerns 1) how do you ascertain the cost of food and
drink, 2) which figure do you apply to an early evening reception is it lunch or dinner and 3) in a
City of this size many relationships are built on years of friendship and the invitation may be
based on that friendship rather than the person's official position.
A solution to this problem could be to allow attendance at group functions of this nature without
regard to the frost of food and drink consumed by the attendee. The only requirement would be
that the attendee file a statement with the Clerk within 5 days after attending a reception as
follows:
On December 15, 1996 1 attended a reception given by XYZ firm commemorating
their 10th Anniversary.
Signature
Date
This disclosure statement would make public the person's attendance and should remove any
question of appearance that may be generated by attendance.
The County Code of Ethics embodied in Section 104.06 Indian River County Code has for its
purpose estatilishing a level of conduct over and above that required by the Florida Legislature
in Chapter 112, Florida Statutes. It, like most laws, cannot explicitly cover every situation that
may arise which could give rise to an ethics question. Therefore, an appeal procedure could be
established whereby the opinion of the County Attorney may be reviewed to determine if a
County employee's or County Commissioner's participation in a particular activity is allowed by
of the code.
56
JANUARY 28, 1997
BOOP(
r
This review process would function along the following lines.
1. Any County employee, Commissioner or member of a County Board or Commission may
request an interpretive ruling on a particular set of fads from the County Attomey's Office as to
whether participation in a described activity would violate the code of ethics. Said request would
be in writing.
2. If the opinion is that there is no violation that ends the matter.
3. If the opinion is that there is a violation that opinion may be appealed as follows:
a. In the case of a county employee under the jurisdiction of the County Administrator, said
employee may appeal to the County Administrator. The County Administrator could overrule,
sustain or refer the matter to the Chairman. This same procedure could apply to employees of
the executive aide to the Commission and the County Attorney who would hear the appeal of
employees under their jurisdiction.
b. In the case of a member of a County Board or Commission, said member could appeal to
the Chairman.
C. In the case of a Commissioner, the appeal would be to the Board County of
Commissioners.
d. When an appeal is to the Chairman, the Chairman may overrule, sustain or refer the
opinion to the Commission for its decision.
Commissioner Macht advised that under the State Gift Law,
county employees would be allowed to accept $25 gifts (under
varying circumstances.) The County's present ordinance is more
severe and he hoped we would keep it.
Commissioner Ginn also wanted to keep our present ordinance.
