McCoy, AICP -d" Senior Planner, Current Development DATE: March 26, 1997 SUBJECT: Request for Final Plat Approval for the Lateral A Agricultural Planned Development It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of April 1, 1997. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: On April 25, 1996, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the proposed preliminary plat for the Lateral A PD. The subject site is located at the northwest corner of 66th Avenue and 45th Street, which is outside of the Urban Service Area and has an agricultural zoning and land use designation. The approved preliminary plat provides for 4 agricultural tracts which also allow residential use. The submitted final plat is consistent with the approved conceptual and preliminary PRD plan. ANALYSIS: The owner's agent, Carter Associates, Inc., is requesting final plat approval and has submitted the following: 1. A final plat in conformance with the approved preliminary PD plat; 2. A completed Contract for Construction of Remaining Required Improvements; 3. A completed cash escrow agreement to secure the contract for construction. 4. A contract price for constructing the required improvements; and None of the required subdivision improvements have been constructed. The applicant is proposing to "bond -out" for the required subdivision improvements as provided for in the county's land development regulations. Public Works has reviewed and approved the submitted contract cost and corresponding security amount. The Department of Utility Services has not reviewed the cost estimate, since no utility work is proposed, and none is required. _ The County Attorney's Office has reviewed and approved the submitted Contract for Construction and the cash escrow agreement which represents 115% of the estimated cost to construct the required improvements. It should be noted that all improvements within the Lateral A --PD will be private. APRIL 19 1997 12 RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners: 1. Grant final plat approval for the Lateral A PD; and 2. Authorize the Chairman to execute the submitted Contract for Construction of Remaining Required Improvements, execute the cash escrow agreement and accept the check for that agreement. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously approved the final plat for Lateral A Subdivision PD; authorized the Chairman to execute the Contract for Construction of Required Improvements and Cash Deposit and Escrow Agreement with S. G. Lysne, W. E. Orth Jr., James N. Orth, and Ralph J. Lindsey; and accepted the check for the agreement; as recommended by staff. AGREEMENTS ARE ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD C.

Habitat for Humanity - Deed of 44th Place Road Right -of -Way The Board reviewed a Memorandum of March 21, 1997: TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Terrence P. OBrien, Assistant County Attorne37�0 DATE: March 21, 1997 RE: DEED OF ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY FROM HABITAT FOR HUMANITY Several weeks ago the county acted as a conduit between the U.S. Marshal and the Habitat for Humanity for the transfer of deeds for land seized by the U.S. Marshal. One parcel of property that was included in the transfer was 44th Place right-of-way. The Habitat has no need for this right-of-way and they have executed a quit- claim deed back to the County for the right-of-way (copy attached) - It is recommended that the County accept the deed. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously accepted the Quit -Claim Deed from Indian River County Habitat for Humanity, Inc. for the 44th Place Right -of -Way, as recommended by staff. DEED WILL BE RECORDED IN THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY H. Grimm Property - County Easement The Board reviewed a Memorandum of March 21, 1997: TO: Board of County Commissioners oA'.)A FROM: Terrence P. O'Brien, Assistant County Attorney I' DATE: March 21, 1997 RE: COUNTY EASEMENT GRIMM PROPERTY The County entered into a land swap with Mr. and Mrs. Grimm. Mr. Grimm is concerned about the retention of the easement by the County which contains no restrictions on the utility easement. The original deed from Indian River County to Grimm back in the 1980's limited the County easement to subsurface use. When the 1996 swap occurred the easement retained by the County was silent as to a subsurface limitation. The current easement reservation would be amended by a corrective deed to allow only subsurface utilities. Recommendation: The Chairman be authorized to execute the attached correction deed which would limit the County's easement to subsurface utilities. APRIL. 19 1997 24 ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously approved the Correction Deed allowing only subsurface utilities to Floyd E. Grimm and Helen M. Grimm, pursuant to recommendations by staff. DEED WILL BE RECORDED IN THE OFFICIAL RECORDS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY I. Collection of Unpaid Special Assessments - Establishment of Procedures The Board reviewed -a Memorandum of -March 20, 1997: TO: Board of County Commissioners �b FROM: Terrence P. O'Brien, Assistant County Attorne;""F DATE: March 20, 1997 SUBJECT: ESTABLISHMENT OF PROCEDURES FOR THE - COLLECTION OF UNPAID SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS This memorandum was developed in response to comments made at a Commission meeting concerning the subject matter. It is the result of the coordinated effort of the Tax Collector and his staff and the office of the County Attorney. The County from time to time approves projects, such as paving and drainage and water and sewer, which result in the levy of a special assessment on the benefited property to pay for the improvement. Paying these special assessments in one lump sum creates a financial burden on some property owners; therefore, the Commission usually provides two years for malting payments, and in some instances, as much as five years has been allowed. The special assessment roll, after adoption, is forwarded to the Indian River County Tax Collector for collection. The payment period begins after the project is completed and the "as built7 resolution is adopted. The Tax Collector sets up a program for collection of said assessment. The Tax collector will . allow monthly payments during the period for payment provided the person sets up a monthly schedule and adheres to it. When the period for payment ends irregular payments will not be accepted because of the accounting problems. Any unpaid balance plus interest must be paid in full; however this does not always happen and the County is left with some unpaid balances. There are no formal established procedures for the collection of any of these unpaid balances. The purpose of this memorandum is to explore the various avenues available to the Commission to effect collection. 80,OK 1 PAGE 31 APRIL 19 1997 25 Rook _ .. aq, 32 CONSIDERATIONS: Under Section 206.07, Indian River County Code, special assessments are `valid and binding first liens upon the property against which the special assessments were made, until paid in full," which means they take precedence over mortgages and other liens and are co -equal with taxes. Because the homestead protection against a forced sale does- not extend to assessments, foreclosure against homestead property is not prohibited by Article X, Section 4, Florida Constitution. Some owners of the assessed property are on fixed incomes and just cannot pay the assessment. Foreclosure of the lien and sale of the property in this situation could be a harsh extraction. POSSIBLE COURSES OF ACTION: As stated above, the special assessment becomes a lien on the property benefited. The liens are higher in dignity than mortgages and can be the basis for a forced sale of property even homestead- Therefore, the collection options for the County are many. For example: 1. Foreclose on all property where a special assessment is unpaid. 2. Limit foreclosures to non -homestead property. 3. Provide a special assessment deferral based on the same terms and conditions that homestead tax deferral is now permitted i.e., income - age (§197.252, F.S.) except that the person would not have to re -file each year. A copy of application for deferral is attached. 4. Do nothing and wait until the. property is sold or refinanced. 5. Limit the "do nothing" to homestead property only where the owner is not entitled to a deferral. PROPOSED PROCEDURE: At the end of the payment period, usually two years, all persons with an unpaid balance would be notified by the Tax Collector with a date for payment (60 days). This would be the last bill issued by the Tax Collector. 2. If a person fails to pay after the last notice, the Tax Collector would notify the County Attorney. 3. The County Attorney would notify, by regular mail the person who has an outstanding balance that payment is required by a date certain (30 days) unless that person can establish through the office of the Tax Collector that he is entitled to a homestead tax deferral. The consequence of failure to pay would be explained. The payment would be made to the Tax Collector and he would accept only full payment, including interest. If there is a known mortgagee, the mortgagee will be copied. 4. After passage of the date certain, any person with an unpaid balance would be subject to the following courses of action that would be appropriate based on the particular facts of the case. a) _ No action by the County if the person establishes, through the office of the Tax Collector, that he is qualified for a homestead tax deferral as defined in Chapter 197, F.S. b) Foreclosure on all other property that is not qualified for homestead tax deferral as defined in Chapter 197 F.S. In all of the above situations, interest, at the rate set in the special assessment resolution would be running until final settlement of the unpaid balance.

K. Professional Archaeological Services on As -Needed Basis _- Authorization to Issue RFQ The Board reviewed a Memorandum of March 10, 1997: TO: James E. Chandler County Administrator HEAD CONCURRENCE: / A � rt M. eati g, I P. Community Developm6nn�/ntDi�r ctor FROM: Roland M. DeBlois,�KICP Chief, Environmental Planning DATE: March 10, 1997 RE: Approval to Initiate a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to Select a Qualified Archaeologist to Conduct Site - Specific Surveys and Consultations It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its meeting of April 1, 1997. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS In 1992, a county -wide survey of archaeological sites was completed by Dr. David Dickel of The Archaeological and Historical Conservancy, Inc. That survey was funded by Indian River County with a matching grant from the State Division of Historic Resources. Although the Dickel survey was fairly comprehensive, it did not, nor was it intended to, thoroughly map and analyze every archaeological site in the County. As private lands develop and public lands are acquired in areas known to have a high probability of archaeological middens, there is a need for site-specific investigations by a qualified archaeologist. As such, this memorandum is presented for the Board of County Commisioners to consider whether a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) should be issued by the County to select a professional archaeologist who can be contracted on an as -need basis to evaluate suspected or known archaeological sites. HRAC Recommendation The County Historic Resources Advisory Committee (HRAC), at its meeting on March 13, 1997, considered staff's recommendation that the County issue an RFQ to select a professionl archaeologist who can be contracted on an as -need basis. At that meeting, the HRAC voted unanimously to recommend that the Board authorize the RFQ. ANALYSIS - Three properties acquired (or proposed for acquisition) under the County's environmental lands program - Prange Island, the "Cairns Tract," and "Round Island South" - are known to contain archaeological middens. However, the exact location and contents of those middens have not been documented. As a condition of the County's purchase of these properties and other properties with state cost -share funds, the County is obligated to have middens on acquired lands mapped and assessed by a qualified archaeologist. APRIL 1, 1997 28 Regarding known or suspected archaeological sites on private lands, County Code Section 933.09 explains that the County may require an archaeological survey in conjunction with development in an area known or suspected to contain archaeological resources. In such cases, it is the developer's responsibility to either hire an archaeologist or research existing information to adequately address County and State concerns regarding resource protection. A professional archaeologist retained by the County could be of public benefit by conducting sufficiency reviews of private development archaeological reports. Funding The cost of an archaeological survey varies with the size of the property being evaluated and with the scope of mapping and analysis. Given these factors, the cost for such surveys can range anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000. If the County retains an archaeologist to conduct site-specific surveys of middens on lands acquired under the County environmental lands acquisition program, bond monies from that program can be used to pay for the surveys. However, for surveys (or review of surveys) associated with private land development, funding would need to come from another source, such as County Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) funds. Another option is for the County to require the private developer to pay the cost of the survey, with the archaeologist retained by the County available for the work. It is staff's position that the County should issue a Request for Qualifications to select a qualified archaeologist to conduct archaeological surveys on publicly acquired conservation lands, with funding to come from environmental land bond monies. The RFQ should be structured to allow the County to use the selected archaeologist to evaluate resources in conjunction with private development projects, but only on an as -need basis and contingent upon available funding. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize staff to issue a Request for Qualifications for the County to select a qualified archaeologist to survey acquired conservation lands and to provide consulting services relating to private land development on an as -need basis, contingent upon available funding. Commissioner Tippin questioned whether the costs could be paid from bond funds; who would make the decision should the issue involve the County purchasing lands; and whether the issue would be --- brought back before the Board - Community Development Director Bob Keating responded that bond monies could be used where the surveys are being done on lands acquired under the environmental lands acquisition program. For other projects, funding would need to be allocated from other sources, possibly from MSTU funds. Commissioner Adams commented that the issue arose during the Sea Oaks project. She believed a consulting archaeologist will allow the County to pinpoint sites and to determine whether or not they are of significance and require preservation. BON 1-1.0i VlAsE41-11 Vibil APREL 19 1997 29 BODS, 1.0i PAGE 36 ON MOTION by Commissioner Tippin, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously authorized staff to issue a Request for Qualifications for the County to select a qualified archaeologist to survey acquired conservation lands and to provide consulting services relating to private land development on an as -need basis, contingent upon available funding, as recommended by staff. CONGRESSMAN DAVE WELDON - REPORT ON FEDERAL LEGISLATIO Congressman Dave Weldon gave a brief report on the status of the beach clean-up and advised that he had to step in to prevent the contractor from- leaving before the work was finished. However, an additional $341,000 originally allocated to other projects has been diverted to this project in an effort to make sure it is completed. Congressman Weldon then reported briefly on the status of the proposed space station and problems arising from the Russian involvement in that project. Discussion then followed on several environmental issues, particularly the Indian River Lagoon clean-up. Commissioner Macht commented on the Wabasso scrub jay issue and noted that often federal and state agencies require the County to institute rigorous monitoring of these issues at great cost to the County. He would like to have some feedback from the reports submitted to these agencies as to what they do with the information submitted. Congressman Weldon felt the federal government should be paying for the consultants and reports involved and supported attempts to modify the Endangered Species Act which he believed is not handled well, particularly as it relates to individual property owners. Commissioner Tippin stressed that over 30% of Indian River County lands are now environmentally classified, while St. Lucie and Martin Counties have less than 3%. Commissioner Macht felt the major problem is a matter of legislative oversight in that the laws are interpreted in a way that is not reflective of what Congress originally had in mind. Commissioner Adams felt that Congressman Weldon has been very supportive of the County, especially with regard to the Archie Carr funding. However, she did note that most of the environmental lands manage very well without any management from humans. APRIL 19 1997 30 Congressman Weldon stated that his goal is to see a balanced budget before he leaves Congress in 2003. Commissioner Ginn thanked Congressman Weldon for attempting to bring common sense to the Endangered Species Act and offered her personal thanks for the support in cleaning up South Beach. Chairman Eggert inquired about the funding of transportation fees, and Congressman Weldon offered his support for the reauthorization of ISTEA (Intermodel Surface Transportation Efficiency Act) .

OBrien, Assistant" County Attorney DATE: March 21, 1997 SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING - APRIL 1, 1997 AMENDMENT TO ANIMAL CONTROL ORDINANCE - CH. 302 The proposed ordinance amends Chapter 302 - Animal Control and Kennel Regulations to reflect applicable state laws. Staff recommends that the Board approve the attached ordinance. Emergency Services Director Doug Wright reviewed the changes to the ordinance and felt these changes will facilitate enforcement. Commissioner Macht questioned recovering the costs of administration, and Director Wright advised there is a $50 registration fee in addition to the regular charge for the license. Commissioner Macht felt this really amounts to a license to keep a dangerous animal and recalled a personal experience where a child was disfigured for life as well as a recent incident where the majority of the "letters to the editor" were in support of the dog. Commissioner Ginn asked for the definition of "dangerous" dog, and Deputy County Attorney Will Collins read portions of Florida Statutes, Chapter 767. Director Wright stated that the cost of one significant recent incident was approximately $20,000. Commissioner Ginn recalled an incident where her daughter was bitten by a dog and required extensive hospitalization. After further discussion, staff was directed to come back with recommended increases in fees regarding the administration charges in dealing with vicious dogs. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. David Radabaugh of the Humane Society noted that hundreds of animal bite cases are brought to the Society each year and they are required to keep them for 10 days. This is a losing situation for the Humane Society. He noted that properly trained dogs seldom bite but that there is an element of society who seem to want to let dogs run wild and bite. APRIL 19 1997 32 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 Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously adopted Ordinance 97-013 amending Chapter 302 - Animal Control and Kennel Regulations to reflect applicable state laws, with the addition to Paragraph J, SubParagraph C of the words "stolen, given away or runaway".

APRIL 19 1997 35 NOTICE OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE The Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida, will consider the adoption of a county ordinance rezoning land from: RM -6, Multiple - Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre) to Con- t, Public Lands Conservation District (zero density). The subject property is owned by Indian River County. The subjectproperty is located at the northwest corner of C.R. 510 and 58th Avenue, and contains approximately 111 acres. The subject property lies in the southeast '/a section of Section 29, Township 31S, Range 39E, lying and being in Indian River County, Florida. A public hearing at which parties in interest and citizens shall have an opportunity to be heard, will be held by the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida, in the County Commission Chambers of the County Administration Building, located at 1840 25th Street, Vero Beach, Florida on Tuesday, April 1, 1997, at 9:05 a.m. The proposed ordinance to rezone the subject property is entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND THE ACCOMPANYING ZONING MAP FROM RM -6, TO CON -1, FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF C.R. 510 AND 58TH AVENUE, AND DESCRIBED HEREIN, AND PROVIDING FOR EFFECTIVE DATE. The proposed ordinance may be inspected by the public during regular business hours at the office of the Clerk to the Board of County Commissioners, 1840 25th Street, Vero Beach, Florida. For more information, contact John Wachtel at 567-8000, extension 247. Anyone who may wish to appeal any decision which may be made at this meeting will need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made, which includes testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is based.

Chandler County Administrator Community Developmefit r4*ector THROUG33: Sasan Rchani, AICP �, Chief, Long -Range Planning FROM: John Wachte� Senior Planner, Long -Range Planning DATE: March 19, 1997 RE: COUNTY =TIATED REQUEST TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY 111 ACRES FROM RM -6 TO CON -1 It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of April 1, 1997. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS This is a county initiated request to rezone approximately 111 acres from RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre), to Con -1, Public Lands Conservation District (zero density). The subject property, located at the northwest corner of 58th Avenue and CR 510, is generally known as the Wabasso Scrub Conservation Area. On October 2, 1995, Indian River County purchased the subject property. Funding for that purchase was provided through the county's environmental lands acquisition program and a 50% cost -share grant from the State of Florida (through the Florida Communities Trust). In conjunction with purchasing the property, the Board of County Commissioners adopted a management plan for this environmentally important site. That plan calls for the land to be used for resource management and passive/non-consumptive recreation. Furthermore, that plan states that the county will initiate a land use amendment and rezoning request to designate the property as conservation land. The land use amendment portion of that commitment was completed when the Board adopted the C-1, Publicly Owned Conservation -1 (zero density) land use designation for the subject property on March 18, 1997. The purpose of this request, in addition to meeting the management plan's rezoning commitment, is to secure the necessary zoning to ensure that the subject property's environmental significance will be preserved, and that the future use of the site will be consistent with the site's management plan. Rezoninv Procedures When initiated, this application involved both a land use amendment and a rezoning request. As with most such applications, both requests were processed concurrently. State law, however, provides some special requirements for county initiated rezoning requests, such as the subject request, that involve more than 10 acres. Among those special requirements are the following: • The Board must hold 2 advertised public hearings. • The second hearing must be held at least 10 days after the first hearing and must be advertised at least 5 days prior to the bearing. The first rezoning public hearing was held at -the March 18, 1997 Board of County Commissioners meeting. At that meeting, the Board voted 5-0 to hold the second rezoning public hearing at the April 1, 1997 Board of County Commissioners meeting. Because that meeting meets the requirements for the second hearing, the rezoning ordinance can be adopted following that public hearing. On September 26, 1996, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 tb recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve this request. APRIL 19 1997 36 Existing Land Use Pattern Consisting primarily of undeveloped sand pine scrub and pine flatwoods, the site is currently zoned RM -6. The area located directly north of the subject property, within the Sebastian City Limits, is zoned Mobile Home Planned Unit Development (up to 5 units/acre). Currently, the portion of that property that abuts the subject property is undeveloped xeric oak scrub. Wabasso Park, a county -operated park facility that is zoned A-1, Agricultural District (up to 1 unit/5 acres), is located at the northwest corner of the subject property. West of the site, land is zoned RM -6. Land along the northern half of the site's western boundary consists of rangeland and single-family houses on large lots, while the Lows Park Subdivision of single-family houses abuts the southern half of the site's western boundary. South of the site, across CR 510, land is zoned RM -3, Multiple - Family Residential District (up to 3 units/acre) and RS -3, Single - Family Residential District (up to 3 units/acre). Consisting primarily of single-family homes, that area also contains several churches. Land east of the site contains a mix of land uses including The John's Island Club -West Golf Course (zoned RM -6), an abandoned citrus grove (zoned RM -8), a church (zoned RM -6), and a legally established non -conforming mobile home park (zoned RM -6 and CL). Future Land Use Pattern On March 18, 1997 the BCC adopted an ordinance redesignating the subject property from L-2 to C-1. However, consistent with state law, the effective date of that ordinance is when the land use designation amendment is found "in compliance" by the State Department of Community Affairs (DCA). According to state law, DCA must determine that the amendment is either "in compliance" or "not in compliance" within.45 days from receipt of the amendment. DCA has not --yet formally made that determination. Therefore, at this time, the subject property as well as land to the west of the subject property, and the northern half of land to the east of the subject property are designated L-2, Low -Density Residential -2, on the future land use map. The L-2 designation allows residential uses with densities of up to 6 units/acre. With the exception of two small C/I, Commercial/ Industrial Node, designated areas near CR 510, the land to the east of the subject property is designated M-1, Medium -Density Residential -1, on the future land use map. The M-1 designation allows residential uses with densities of up to 8 units/acre. The C/I designation allows commercial and industrial uses. To the south of the subject property, across CR 510, land is designated L-1, Low -Density Residential -1, on the future land use map. The L-1 designation allows residential uses with densities of up to 3 units/acre. Environment Consisting of approximately 54 acres of sand pine scrub, 42 acres of pine flatwoods, and 15 acres of fresh water wetlands, the subject property is an environmentally important site. Approximately 2�4 acres, located primarily along the site's east and west boundaries, are environmentally_ disturbed. Portions of the site are within an "A" 100 -year flood plain for which no minimum base flood elevation requirement has been determined. Approximately 34 acres of the property's scrub have been identified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) as occupied territory of the federally threatened Florida scrub jay. FWS considers this property to be one of the "core" scrub jay territories in the county critical to the long term survival of the county's scrub jay population. Moreover, the site contains mature sand pine scrub that, if properly managed, could expand the area of scrub jay habitat on the property. Other rare listed species documented or expected to occur on site include the gopher tortoise, eastern indigo snake, and gopher frog. Overall, the scrub native plant community is recognized as endangered regionally and statewide. Utilities and Services Potable water service is available to the site from the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant. When it is complete, the North County Reverse Osmosis Plant will (if necessary) provide potable water to the site. Although wastewater lines from the North County Wastewater Treatment Plant are planned to extend to the site by 2010, wastewater service is not currently available to the site. BOOK `1.�. FAGS 43 "RM 1� 1�7 37 BOGY ME 44, Transportation System The property abuts CR 510. Classified as an urban principal arterial roadway on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map, this segment of CR 510 is a 2 -lane road with approximately 80 feet of existing public road right-of-way. This segment of CR 510 is programmed for expansion to 4 lanes and 160 feet of public road right-of-way by 2010. ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the application will be presented. The analysis will address: • concurrency of public facilities; 0 compatibility with the surrounding area; 0 consistency with the comprehensive plan; and • potential impact on environmental quality. Concurrency of Public Facilities This site is located within the County Urban Service Area, an area deemed suited for urban scale development. The comprehensive plan establishes standards for: Transportation, Potable Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, Drainage, and Recreation (Future Land Use Policy 3.1). The adequate provision of these services is necessary to ensure the continued quality of life enjoyed by the community. To ensure that the minimum acceptable standards for these services and facilities are maintained, the comprehensive plan also requires that new development be reviewed. For rezoning requests; this review is undertaken as part of the conditional concurrency determination application process. As per section 910.07 of the County's LDRs, conditional concurrency review examines the available capacity of each facility with respect to a proposed project. Since rezoning requests are not projects, county regulations call for the concurrency review to be based upon the most intense use of the subject property based upon the requested zoning district. For conservation zoning district requests, the most intense use (according to the County's LDR's) is the maximum number of units that could be built on the site, given the size of the property and the maximum density allowed under the proposed zoning district. The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows: I. Size of Area to be Rezoned: 2. Existing Zoning District: Maximum Number of Units with Existing Zoning District: 4. Proposed Zoning District: tlll acres RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre) 666 Con -1, Public Lands Conservation District (zero density) 5. Maximum Number of Units with Proposed Zoning District: 0 As per section 910.07(2) of the Concurrency Management Chapter of the County's LDRs, projects which do not increase density or intensity of use -are exempt from concurrency requirements. This rezoning request is exempt from concurrency review, because the requested zoning district would not increase the total number of potential units that the site could accommodate. It is important to note that there will be no effect on service levels for any public facility as a result of the proposed rezoning. Compatibility with the Surrounding Area Under the requested Con -1 zoning district, there will be no development on the subject property except for minor facilities associated with passive recreation activities. For that reason, the subject request will enhance compatibility between development on the site and surrounding land uses. APRIL 19 1997 38 In contrast to the 666 units allowed under the existing zoning district, development under the requested zoning district would be limited to conservation uses and recreational uses. In terms of traffic, noise, and aesthetics, the impacts associated with uses allowed under the proposed Con -1 zoning district will be significantly less than those that would occur with development under the existing zoning district. In fact, the recreational uses allowed under the requested zoning district will serve as an amenity for nearby residential uses. For these reasons, staff has determined that the requested zoning district is compatible with the surrounding area. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan Rezoning requests are reviewed for consistency with all policies of the comprehensive plan. Rezonings must also be consistent with the overall designation of land uses as depicted on the Future Land Use Map, which include agriculture, residential, recreation, conservation, and commercial and industrial land uses and their densities. Commercial and industrial land uses are located in nodes throughout the unincorporated areas of Indian River County. The goals, objectives and policies are the most important parts of the comprehensive plan. Policies are statements in the plan which identify actions which the county will take in order to direct the community's development. As courses of action committed to by the county, policies provide the basis for all county land development related decisions --including rezoning decisions. While all comprehensive plan objectives and policies are important, some have more applicability than others in reviewing rezoning requests. Of particular applicability for this request is Future Land Use Element Policy 1.5. - Future Land Use Element Policy 1.5 Future Land Use Element Policy 1.5 limits the C-1 land use designation to publicly owned land with conservation and/or recreational uses. Since the Con -1 zoning district is also limited to publicly owned land with conservation and/or recreational uses, the Con -1 zoning district is consistent with, and allowed on, C-1 designated land. To ensure that the subject property is not rezoned to Con -1 while it retains its present L-2 land use designation, the ordinance rezoning the subject property has the same effective date as the ordinance redesignating the site to C-1. For that reason, the Con- t zoning district cannot be applied to the subject property until the site is formally redesignated to C-1. For these reasons, the request is consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1.5. As part of the staff analysis, all policies in the comprehensive plan were considered. Based upon this analysis, staff determined that the proposed rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Potential Impact on Environmental Quality The site's existing zoning district offers limited environmental protections. Residential development on the subject property would be required to preserve only 15 percent of the site, or 16.65 acres. In contrast, under the proposed zoning district, the entire site would be preserved, and development would be limited to conservation and compatible passive recreational uses. Although the site is publicly owned and could be developed as a public park under the existing zoning district, the proposed zoning provides the site with additional protection from development. By prohibiting most types of development on the site, the proposed request will ensure that the environmental quality of the site will be preserved. For these reasons, the proposed rezoning is anticipated to Positively impact the environmental quality of the subject property. CONCLUSION Based on the analysis, staff has determined that the proposed rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan, compatible with all surrounding land uses, will cause no adverse impacts on the provision of public services, and will positively impact the environment. For these reasons, staff supports the request.

Chandler County Administrator DIV ON HEAD CONCURRENCE: T� Robert M. Rea i , AI Community De el menirector FROM: Stan Boling AICP Planning Director DATE: March 26, 1997 SUBJECT: Approval of Hearing Dates for Two Board Hearings to Consider LDR Amendments Related to Communication Towers/Antennas It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of April 1, 1997. Until the 1995 state legislative session, all land development regulation (LDR) amendments required two evening hearings of the Board of County Commissioners. .Current_ law now allows some flexibility in LDR amendment meeting times, although two hearings are still required for the communication towers/antennas amendments being proposed. Normally, a special Board meeting is scheduled for the Board's initial consideration of an LDR amendment proposal. However, because the Board has extensively workshopped the tower/antenna LDR amendment issue, staff believes that the Board's first hearing can be handled at a regular meeting that has a "light" agenda. Other amendments not related to towers/antennas will need to be reviewed by the Board later this spring. Recently, the Professional Services Advisory Committee reviewed and made recommendations on the proposed tower/antenna amendments, and the Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled to consider proposed amendments at its March 27, 1997 meeting. To finalize amendments prior to expiration of the current tower application moratorium, the Board must now set dates and times for the required public hearings. If the first public hearing is held prior to May 5th and the Board agrees on an acceptable ordinance, then the Board could invoke the pending ordinance doctrine at the end of the first hearing and could hold the second (final) hearing after May 5th. By invoking the pending ordinance doctrine, the Board could ensure that any time gap between May 5th and the final hearing is covered by a new, acceptable pending ordinance. Planning staff has coordinated closely with the county attorney's office concerning the newer state requirements for LDR amendment hearings. The new legislation divides LDR amendments into two types: 1. Amendments which change the actual list of permitted, conditional, or prohibited uses within a zoning category (district); and 2. All other types of amendments. APRIL 19 1997 42 0a i Some of the proposed tower/antenna amendments would change the zoning district use tables that specify the districts in which certain towers are allowed. Therefore, the proposed tower/antenna amendments require two hearings. Florida statutes provides that one of those two hearings be held after 5:00 p.m., unless a four fifths majority of the Board votes for pre -5:00 p.m. meetings. Thus, with 4 or 5 positive votes, the Board could vote to hold both LDR hearings bprs 5:00 p.m., such as at a special morning meeting or regular Tuesday morning Board meeting. One set of hearing dates which would comply with state hearing and advertising requirements, and which the Board office has indicated may accommodate most commissioners' schedules, is as follows: 1. Regular meeting Tuesday, April 15, 1997 9:05 a.m. 2. Special meeting April 25 -May 5, 1997* any time *Note: The final hearing could be scheduled after May 5th if the pending ordinance doctrine is invoked by the Board at the end of the April 15th hearing. The Board may establish any other dates that meet state requirements. However, the Board must approve dates for 2 public hearings that are at least 10 days apart and that accommodate advertising deadlines. Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners: 1. Approve holding the public hearings before 5:00 p.m. (requires at least 4 positive votes), and 2. Establish meeting dates for two public hearings to consider and adopt the proposed LDR amendments related to towers/antennas. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously approved holding the public hearings before 5:00 p.m. and established Tuesday, April 15, 1997 at the Board's regular 9:00 a.m. meeting, and Tuesday, May 6, 1997, at -the -Board's -regular -9:00 a.m. meeting as the two public hearing- dates to consider and adopt the proposed LDR amendments related to towers/antennas, as recommended by staff.

The Board reviewed a Memorandum of March 25, 1997: TO: James Chandler County Administrator THROUGH: James W. Davis, P.E. Public Works Director Robert Keating, A.I.C.P _ Director, Community De el p At FROM: Roger D. Cain, P.E. County Engineer SUBJECT: CR512 Scrub Mitigation, abasso Scrub Property Management Plan Professional Services Agreement DATE: March 25, 1997 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS In 1995, the Board of County Commissioners authorized the selection of Smith Environmental Services, Inc., to draft a scrub jay habitat mitigation plan to address permitting requirements associated with the CR512 widening project. Subsequently, in September, 1996, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) issued a biological opinion and authorized the County to proceed with the C.R. 512 project, contingent upon the County implementing its scrub jay habitat mitigation plan on the Wabasso Scrub Conservation Area property. The habitat mitigation plan submitted by the County and accepted by the FWS requires "habitat suitability monitoring" within the areas to be restored and managed on the Wabasso Scrub property. This required monitoring includes color -banding the resident scrub jay sub -population to document reproductive success. Smith Environmental Services has submitted a scope of services and cost estimate for implementation of the required monitoring program (attached), for approval consideration by the Board of County Commissioners. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS County environmental planning staff has indicated that the required monitoring, particularly the color -banding of a federally protected species, is beyond the expertise of staff. Therefore, contracting with a specialist for the monitoring is warranted. However, because the Wabasso Scrub property is the first of a number of scrub properties that the -County will be managing, staff thinks this is a good opportunity for staff to observe and learn monitoring techniques that staff can implement in the future on other scrub management properties. Concerning the attached scope of services from Smith Environmental Services, Inc., since the firm drafted the approved scrub jay habitat mitigation plan and is already familiar with the Wabasso Scrub property from the standpoint of management and monitoring. needs, staff thinks it is appropriate for the County to select the firm without need for a formal competitive bidding process. As proposed, the total cost of monitoring is estimated to be $7,333, plus not exceeding $500 in reimbursable expenses (see Attachment A of the Scope of Services). APRIL 19 1997 44 � � r Alternative 1• Approve the agreement with Smith Environmental Services and direct the Chairman to execute the agreement on behalf of the Board. Alternative 2• Direct Staff to negotiate an agreement with another firm. RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING Staff recommends Alternative 1, funding to be from account number 101-153-541-067.71 Commissioner Adams questioned whether monitoring cameras are being installed, and Environmental Chief Roland DeBlois advised these are permanent survey markers for follow-up photography. Commissioner Adams expressed her concern that no liability insurance is being required, and County Engineer Roger Cain advised he had discussed this with Risk Management and they advised a "hold harmless" clause would be sufficient. Commissioner Adams wanted to know whether any of the wood from the trees being removed could be sold, and Mr. DeBlois stated he is working with a representative of Georgia Pacific and will keep the Board informed.

US -95 -21 -CS & UW -95 -20 -DS BACKGROUND On September 12, 1995, the Board of County Commissioners approved the construction of the above -referenced project. (See attached BOOK FAGS APRIL 1, 1997 45 : 101 BOOK'AGE 52 agenda item and minutes.) We have received the final quantity adjustment, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) permit clearance and customers are connected. We are before the Board of County Commissioners for final payment and change order approval. ANALYSIS During. the construction, through no fault of the contractor, additional dewatering had to be accomplished, (i.e., soil conditions caused the failure of the road and a larger ditch was required increasing the contract price). Also, during the DEP permit process the originally proposed two inch water line had to be enlarged to a four inch line and the sewer was required to be enlarged from the originally proposed six inch to an eight inch line, increasing the contract price. As a result of these changes, we have incurred additional costs. For details of the contract changes, please reference the attached change order with Driveways, Inc. The total approved project cost was $22,772.27, which included a contingency. The original contract amount with Driveways, Inc., was $16,712.12. The increase from Driveways, Inc., is $5,358.40 and the materials increase from U.S. Filter, also known as Davis Meters is $571.03, equating to a final materials cost of $2,835.80. This results in a total proposed project amount of $24,906.32 which is $2,134.05, over the originally approved budgeted amount. Funding for this will be from Account Nos.4Ts--•-1g-a%w and, 472-1;a! -10- vI,7. oo RECOMMENDATION The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the project changes as described above and authorize the Chairman to execute the attached change order and pay request as presented.

DOCUMENTS ARE ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD OSLO PLAZA ASSOCIATION - IMPACT FEE CREDIT The Board reviewed a Memorandum of March 26, 1997: TO: The Board of County Commissioners FROM: t; William G. Collins II - Deputy County Attorney DATE: March 26, 1997 SUBJECT: Oslo Plaza Associates Impact Fee Credit On March 17, 1997 our office received a notice from litigation counsel on behalf of Oslo Plaza Associates, Inc. notifying us that they intended to file an action seeking declaratory and injunctive relief, costs and attorneys fees if their client is not allowed a traffic impact fee -credit of $119;336 pursuant to an arrangement between the Board of County Commissioners and a previous owner of the property they now own. SUMMARY • By letter dated December 7, 1990, the attorney for Oslo Plaza Associates, a Florida general partnership (a previous owner) delivered to the Public Works Director copies of an executed warranty deed, a partial release of mortgage, and a title search. • On December 11, 1990, the Board of County Commissioners approved purchasing Oslo Road and 27"' Avenue right-of-way (northwest comer) by granting a traffic impact fee credit in the amount of $119,536 and a cash payment of $77,450. • Pursuant to Board direction the staff delivered payment in the amount of $77,450 and the deed was recorded January 3, 1991. Also, National Westminster Bank, USA, executed a partial release of mortgage as to its interest in the right-of-way transferred. The seller's attorney delivered title insurance on the same day in the amount of $196,000. BOOK '� ul FACE 53 APRIL 19 1997 47 • The development approved in 1990 never went forward, and the site plan approval ultimately expired: • In the spring of 1995, under contract with the County, Atlantic Coastal Title Corporation produced a compendium of state designated roads and applicable Murphy Act road reservations. That document showed that Tract 16 at the northwest comer of 2r Avenue and Oslo Road was subject to Murphy Deed reservations. • On December 12, 1995 Public Works Director Davis wrote Community Development Director Keating to "not issue nor approve a traffic impact fee credit for this site°. • On March 7, 1996 Karen Sass of West & Associates wrote Public Works Director Jim Davis requesting that he confirm in writing that no traffic impact fee credits would be issued since the Murphy Deed reservation applied to the property. • By letter dated March 11, 1996, Mr. Davis confirmed that the County and the State already had road reservations of record, and for that reason on December 12, 1995 he requested the Community Development Department to remove the traffic impact fee credit for the property. • On April 9, 1996 1 was informed by an attorney for Natwest Bank, N.A. that they had acquired title to the property in November of 1995 through mortgage foreclosure. • The property was transferred from Natwest Bank to Oslo Plaza Associates, Inc. in May, 1996. Both parties had knowledge of the County's position on the traffic impact fee credit. • On October 24, 1996 attorney Bruce Barkett on behalf of Oslo Plaza Associates, Inc. demanded that impact fee credits be restored to the property or that the County file an action in court for declaratory relief °rather than unilaterally breach the contracr. • Subsequently I, along with Public Works Director Davis, met with Mr. Barkett to discuss the matter. At that time Mr. Barkett produced a partial release of the reservation. The County Surveyor subsequently calculated that the amount of right-of-way that the County actually needed to purchase (less the part already subject to road reservations) would have cost $60,070.50 based on the $2.25 per square foot purchase price ultimately approved by the Board of County Commissioners. Thus, it appears that the County overpaid for the right-of-way not already reserved for road purposes by $17,380, in addition to authorizing a $119,536 traffic impact fee credit.. CONCLUSION: The basis for a lawsuit is outlined in Mr. Melville's letter of March 14, 1997. The title insurance company would need to be noted of any loss due to the encumbrance on the insured property. The County staffs position is that it is inequitable for the County to pay for something that it already had. That is, to pay for road right-of-way when the property conveyed was already subject to a reservation and easement for road right-of-way purposes. The staff requests that the Board of County Commissioners direct whether the traffic impact fee credit should be allowed to the property as previously approved by the County Commission on December 11, 1990, or whether the staff should defend any forthcoming lawsuits based on principles of equity, unjust enrichment, failure of consideration, nonexistence of a contract and mutual mistake of material fact. RECOMMENDATION 1. Ratify staff decision to rescind traffic impact fee credits. 2. Notify title insurer of pending claim and litigation. 3. Authorize defense of any forthcoming suit seeking declaratory and injunctive relief including filing counterclaims and impleader. APRIL 1, 1997 48 Deputy County Attorney Will Collins briefly reviewed the facts for the Board, explained the Murphy Act Deeds, and stated that it is staff's recommendation that the Board ratify the decision to rescind the traffic impact fee credits, notify our title insurer that there is a pending claim and litigation, and authorize defense of the forthcoming suit. The court could declare the respective rights of the parties. If we simply agree to give the impact fee credit at this point, Attorney Collins did not believe the County would have a valid claim against the title insurance. Bruce Barkett, Attorney representing West & Associates, stated this was essentially a simple agreement - a land -for -money swap. A portion of the purchase price was to be paid in cash and the balance was to be paid in impact fee credits. The question today is whether or not the Board should honor the agreement made with Oslo Plaza Associates. The discovery that the State had reserved an easement for right-of-way over a portion of the property was always a matter of public record. Public Works Director Jim Davis has rescinded the traffic impact fee credits which is an absolute, unqualified breach of contract. The County got more than its fair value for the property which is now valued at approximately $295,000. Attorney Barkett continued that since 1988 Oslo Plaza has paid over $300,000 in taxes on this parcel and after development the property should generate $100,000 a year in taxes which is about equal to the traffic impact fee credit. These funds will go directly for the improvement of the Oslo Road and 27th Avenue intersection, which is currently functioning at a below -acceptable level of service. The developer is being held up until the intersection is improved. The developer will improve the intersection regardless of the decision reached today. The impact fee credits will be used for these improvements and he asked that the Board honor the contract, by at least giving the impact fee credits for Phase I of the development plus the gas station, which would be approximately $92,000. Harold Melville, litigation counsel for Oslo Plaza Associates, stated that essentially a contract was entered into 1990 between the County and the then owner of the property, Oslo Plaza Associates. Oslo Plaza Associates fully performed its portion of the contract by conveying title to the County. 5 to 7 years later the County felt it had made a bad bargain and decided not to honor the agreement. If the County has a remedy in this matter, it can seek rescission of the contract in the court system on the theory PAGE 53)5 - APRIL, 1, 1997 49 BOOK . 0i PAGE 5 that there was a mutual mistake- of fact. Attorney Melville did not believe a court would accept that theory in view of the fact that everything being discussed- is recorded in the public records and he believed a court action would be a waste of time and money. Attorney Melville further believed that even should the County be successful in a rescission suit, there would be no real benefit to the County as the County would still need the land for the road but would then be forced to pay today's prices. Commissioner Ginn questioned whether the traffic impact fee credits run with the land, and Attorney Melville responded in the affirmative. Public Works Director Davis stressed that the right-of-way to the County does not exist as the State has jurisdiction over 27th Avenue. In 1990 it was not disclosed to the County that the State had a road right-of-way reservation. The County cannot occupy the land along 27th Avenue without going through extensive DOT permitting. The statement was made that it was a part of the public record and that any reasonable party could search the public records; however, at that time the developer did not know that the Murphy Act right-of-way was there or, if he did, he did not disclose that information. The County required title insurance at that time and the title company representing the County missed it also. It would not be common sense for the County to purchase something it already had an interest in or the State had an interest in. Oslo Plaza Associates did not deliver clear title to the County. If the shopping center does not pay its impact fees, other property owners who are building homes and developing land will have to subsidize this road widening that will have to be done. In 1990 staff believed development of this parcel was eminent and the County, in good faith, paid $77,000 and issued the credit believing the development would happen right away. It is very difficult for staff to meet transportation needs when we think development may happen quickly. Deputy County Attorney Collins believed the County does have a contract which was never reduced to writing. The arrangement was worked out through correspondence and modified through the Board's actions at a regular meeting. Legal staff's position is that there never was a contract and there was a mutual mistake of material fact in that the seller gave the County a warranty deed and title insurance saying that the property was free and clear. APRIL 19 1997 50 Commissioner Macht inquired whether the title company would be let off the hook if a compromise were reached, and Attorney Collins believed that giving the impact fee credit would create a loss to the County through the County's own actions. Commissioner Adams believed the title company would not be off the hook, as they had the ability to reveal the Murphy Act reservations and failed to do so. Commissioner Adams commended Director Davis for research done regarding the Murphy Act reservations and believed that there may be other properties subject to the same reservations which will be discovered at a later time. She believed that the County has an obligation in this matter and that each of the parties entered into the agreement in good faith and when impact fee credits are given, there is no guarantee that the development will be completed immediately or in 5 years. Chairman Eggert questioned whether there is a 7 year limit on using impact fee credits, and Director Davis responded that if the property owner asks that they be refunded, then they would be refunded if not encumbered. Commissioner Adams questioned whether the County knew in 1990 that 27th Avenue was a state road, and Director Davis responded that staff was not aware that the state had an interest in Murphy Act reservation there and staff believed that the County was purchasing land over which it had complete control. Director Davis continued that staff had exhausted all resources in order to have the Department of Transportation correct the problems at that intersection. However, the DOT project at that intersection was simply a resurfacing one, not a widening project. Attorney Barkett advised that the developer is willing to redo the intersection improvements and pay for that portion of the improvement which is mandated by his development. Director Davis stressed that the County must have impact fees in order to redo this intersection and basically, this developer will not pay its fair share of those impact fees. Attorney Barkett then advised that the developer was willing to accept a 25% discount just to move the project forward. After further discussion, Commissioner Macht MOVED to accept staff's recommendation, and Commissioner Adams felt she could not support that action. Deputy County Attorney Collins advised that the time and cost of litigation would be heavy and a compromise may be worth considering. The County could still file a claim on the title insurance if the credit were reduced from $119,000 to $92,000. He APRIL 19 1997 51 BOOK PAGE 57 BOOK 101 PAGE 58 believed the equity of the situation lies with County; however, there are also risks to the County in litigation. Director Davis felt that the County and State had enough interest in the right-of-way to accomplish the purposes except for the west 330 feet and the $77,000 which was paid in cash more than adequately compensated for that west 330 feet. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously accepted the developer's counter -proposal of a $92,000 impact fee credit to settle the matter, and authorized staff to notify the title insurer of a pending claim. LAND ACQUISITION CONDHEEEE REPORT - CARSON PLATT PROPERTY - ST JOHNS RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT The Board reviewed a Memorandum of March 26, 1997: To: Board of County Commissioners From: Carolyn K. Eggert Chairman Date: March 26, 1997 Subject: Land Acquisition Advisory Committee Report The Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (7 members) came to a concensus to ask the County Commission to approve paying 25% share of Carson Platt property if St. Johns/C.A.R.L. can negotiate a deal. Chairman Eggert noted that, regarding the pending auction of the Carson Platt property, the Board has never agreed to a participant 25% payment. Environmental Chief Roland DeBlois advised the Board that in October a review of projects will begin. These projects are contemplated to be purchased by 3 agencies in the following percentages; CARL 25%, SJRWMD 50%, and the County 25%. The Carson Platt property is being auctioned in 2 weeks and has a couple of benefits to the County such as fulfilling Comp Plan objectives. Commissioner Macht inquired whether the County will receive an interest in the title, and Mr. Deblois stated that SJRWMD is willing to work with the County on this. APRIL 11 1997 52 � - r Commissioner Ginn wanted to know whether there would be any management costs and whether those costs would be shared, and Mr. Deblois believed that would be a County decision. Mr. Deblois advised the cost to the County would be $2-3 million for approximately 6,000 acres, of which approximately 3,300 acres at $1800 per acre will be included in the initial purchase. Chairman Eggert stressed that the concern of LAAC was that this property has not been ranked and the Board has not committed to the 25% share of the purchase. ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously approved paying a 251% share of the purchase price of the Carson Platt property should St. Johns River Water Management District and C.A.R.L. negotiate a deal, providing the County receives a 25% interest in title.
