McCoy, AICP�,ApA Senior Planner, Current Development DATE: January 26, 1999 SUBJECT: Point King Inc.'s Request for Final Plat Approval for Sea Mist Court It is requested that the data herein presented be given formai consideration by the Board.of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of February 2, 1999. Sea Mist Court is a 23 lot subdivision of a 5.3 acre parcel of land located on the west side of SR A -1-A between Mooringline Drive and Windward Way. The subject property is zoned OCR, Office, Commercial Residential (up to 6 units per acre) and has a land use designation of C/I Commercial Industrial (up to 6 units per acre for residential uses). The density of the subdivision is 4.37 units per acre. On January 22, 1998, the Planning and Zoning Commission granted preliminary plat and site plan approval for Sea Mist Court. Approval was given to plat over a site plan approved project for 23 single family detached residential units. Development of units will proceed under the parameters of the approved site plan. The developer, Point King, Inc., subsequently obtained a land development permit and has completed construction of the required subdivision improvements. The developer is now requesting final plat approval and has submitted the following: A final plat in conformance with the approved preliminary plat. All required subdivision improvements have been completed by the developer and the county has inspected and approved the required improvements. All proposed subdivision improvements are privately dedicated with the exception of the utility system, which is dedicated to the City of Vero Beach. The applicant has provided a letter from the City of Vero Beach acknowledging that the developer has met all of the city's criteria for final plat approval. Therefore, no warranty and maintenance agreement is required. All requirements of final plat approval are satisfied. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant final plat approval for Sea Mist Court. FEBRUARY 2, 1999 -11- Boa 108 PnE235 BOOK 108 �-AGE 238 1 ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously granted final plat approval for Sea Mist Court, as recommended by staff. 7. F. PELICAN ISLAND NATIONAL. WILDLIFE REFUGE - ACCEPTANCE OF EASEMENTS FROM U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE -JUNGLE TRAIL The Board reviewed a Memorandum of January 27, 1999: TO: James E. Chandler County Administrator FROM: Robert M. Keating, AICPA - Community Development Director DATE: January 27, 1999 SUBJECT: Acceptance of Easements from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service It is requested that the information presented herein be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of February 2, 1999. In 1994, Indian River County's Jungle Trail enhancement project application was approved by FDOT. Funded at approximately $3.2 million, the project involved various improvements to Jungle Trail. During the program development and preliminary design phase of the Jungle Trail project, it was determined that the project could not be undertaken as initially proposed. Consequently, the Jungle Trail project was significantly downsized and unneeded Jungle Trail funds were allocated to other enhancement projects in the County. As revised, the Jungle Trail enhancement project now involves construction of parking lots, restrooms, and related improvements on three sites along Jungle Trail. Two of these sites are located in the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge and owned by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Because U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service owns two of the sites on which enhancement funded improvements will be constructed, FDOT requires that Indian River County, the enhancement project applicant, obtain easements from USFWS. The easements will document that the County, as the enhancement applicant, will have control of the enhancement funded improvements for the life of the improvements. As ofthis time, an easement document has been prepared and executed by USFWS. It is now necessary for the Board of County Commissioners to formally accept the easements. For the past year, County and MPO staff coordinated with FDOT staff and USFWS staff to obtain easements on the subject sites. In so doing, county and MPO staff, in coordination with FDOT and USFWS, developed conceptual designs for the improvements, identified construction project limits on each site, surveyed the sites, prepared legal descriptions and survey sketches for each site, and developed a draft easement document. FEBRUARY 2, 1999 is 0 • Several months ago, the draft easement document was sent to USFWS for execution. Because any property transfers must be authorized by the USFWS Division of Realty office in Atlanta, the draft document was reviewed by that office. Recently, the Division of Realty transmitted an executed easement document which is substantially different from the original County's draft of the easement document. A copy is attached. As structured, the easement agreement contains 18 conditions. Although extensive in number and detail, the conditions are not inconsistent with the proposed enhancement project. In fact, many of the conditions will apply to the USFWS, itself, since Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge staff (USFWS staff) will be responsible for maintenance of the improvements after construction. For the Jungle Trail enhancement project to proceed, the Board of County Commissioners must formally accept the easement from USFWS. The easement document has been reviewed by County planning, MPO and legal staff. While recognizing that the easement conditions appear to be standard conditions more appropriate to an easement granted to a private party, staff found that the terms are acceptable and recommends that the Board accept the easements. RECOMMENDATION• Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners accept the USFWS easements for the two enhancement project sites within the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously accepted the USFWS easements for the two enhancement project sites within the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge, as recommended by staff.

WHEELER • INDIAN RIVER COUNTY MEMBER FLORIDA SHERIFFS ASSOCIATION MEMBER OF NATIONAL SHERIFFS ASSOCIATION VERO BEACH. FLORIDA 32860-1808 J AN i 5 1999 C p v1taIISozoN The Honorable Kenneth R. Macht, Chairman Indian River County Board of County Commissioners 1840 25th Street Vero Beach, FL 32960-3394 RE: PROPOSED ALARM ORDINANCE: REDUC'T'ION OF FALSE ALARMS Dear Mr. Macht: PHONE (561) 569-6700 Accompanying the growth our county has faced over the last few years, a multitude of challenges presents itself in providing responsive law enforcement and quality service, both of which our citizens have come to expect, and rightfully so. As Sheriff of Indian River County, the safety of our citizens and the quality of life within our community is of vital importance to me. I know the Board shares this concern so I would like to share the following information with you. One of the biggest challenges that law enforcement must face is the security of its residences and businesses. Most people fear crime and the potential for crime and many of them have installed alarm systems in hopes that it will prevent them and their families from becoming victims. With the advancement of technology, reduced pricing and increased competition, more and more alarms are installed everyday. Naturally, with more systems there will be an increase in false alarms. At the national level, approximately 97% of all alarms tum out to be false. Each false alarm consumes valuable time from the officer on the street, increases risks of accidents, reduces police service to areas with a greater need for law enforcement presence and through sheer volume instills complacency in the responding officers. This is not a local problem, rather an industry wide concern. In 1990, the Sheriffs Office responded to over 5,200 alarms or approximately 12% of the total calls for service. In 1996, the number of alarm calls increased 57% to over 8,240 calls or 18% of the total calls for service. This increase in alarm calls has impacted the man-hours consumed at a proportional rate. At an average of 25 minutes consumed per call, vital resources are taken from other calls, increasing response times and availability of officers to respond to emergencies. Since the nature of alarm calls requires immediate response, officers respond to all alarm calls in an increased state of readiness; the nature of some alarm calls requires the dispatch of 2 or more officers. This rapidly depletes the availability of existing resources for other emergencies or for proactive patrols and quality of life policing issues. The proportion of alarm calls to the entire call load is so great that an average of 15 minutes out of every hour 24 hours a day is consumed responding to some type of alarm. In addition to being a safety issue and resource allocation problem, false alarms are expensive to the community. When one considers that the vast majority (97%) are false, it is wise to look for responsible solutions to the rising problem. FEBRUARY 2, 1999 -21- 0 to 108 pw 245 Boa 108 PAGE246 7 The alarm industry, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and the National Sheriffs Association (NSA) have joined efforts and are working together to reduce the problem of false alarms. In October 1994, at the IACP Conference in Albuquerque, NM., the Model Cities Program was developed. The program's objective is to combat the growing concern about false alarms. Three cities were selected: Bellevue, WA; Elgin, EL; and Philadelphia, PA. Through a proactive approach with the alarm companies and the communities in partnership, there was a substantial reduction of false alarms in all three communities. The IACP, NSA and the alarm industry want to share these strategies and successes with other jurisdictions in the country. As a result, the Model States Program developed out of the Model Cities Program. Again, the objective of the Model States Program is to develop a consensus and a working relationship between the alarm industry in the Model States and the law enforcement community. The Program finds the causes of false dispatches and identifies reduction programs, applying corrective actions and measuring the progress of the false dispatch reduction program. This includes ordinances, state licensing laws, community education and a response methodology that includes software aimed at identifying alarm owners and malfunction histories or chronic abusers. The states selected by IACP and NSA for the Model States Program are Florida, Missouri, Illinois and Washington. As you can see, there has been a tremendous effort by both law enforcement and the security industry to work together to address the problem of false alarms. Mr. Stan Martin, Vice President of Industry Relations for ADI, has been appointed the National False Alarm Coordinator for the Alarm Industry Research & Education Foundation, which is funding the program and provides for the support, software, and guidance for participating agencies. Locally, as we attempt to address the false alarm problem, we are fortunate to have the assistance and expertise of Mr. Ron Walters, Florida's Model State Program Coordinator. With Mr. Walters' assistance and unique perspective of both the alarm industry and law enforcement, we have been able to draft an ordinance that we believe will meet everyone's needs. Part of this effort included a meeting with the alarm companies hosted at the Sheriffs Office on December 16, 1998. As a result of that meeting, valuable input from the companies present led to changes in the draft. In proposing this solution, we hope to ensure that the alarm industry can continue to provide a deterrent to criminals. Responsible alarm companies provide a valuable service to their customers providing a sense of security that we hope will continue. We are convinced that through alarm dealer/user education and appropriate accountability, the citizens of Indian River County will actually increase their own level of law enforcement service through optimal use of police resources. In closing, I would like to thank the Board of County Commissioners in advance for your vision in considering the proposed ordinance that will go before you. Should you have any questions, Please feel,free to contact me at 569-6700, ext. 404. Sincerely, Ar e. �L)44 - Gary C. Wheeler, Sheriff FEBRUARY 2, 1999 • 6berif f GARY C.

REDUCTION OF FALSE ALARMS Dear Mr. Macht: On Friday, January 15, 1999, representatives from my office were invited to attended a meeting held by the Legislative Committee of the Chamber of Commerce. At this meeting, the proposed alarm reduction ordinance was discussed. The committee gave us the opportunity to share our concerns from a law enforcement perspective, identify the desired goals of the false alarm reduction ordinance; and, in return, we received some excellent feedback from members of the committee. We certainly appreciate the opportunity we were given to address the committee and would like to respond to some of their recommendations. We believe that some of the alternatives offered at the meeting can be successfully implemented. As such, we would like to address the following changes to the draft. Noted changes are underlined in the attached draft and are summanzed below: Page 3: SECTION 3. PERMIT REQUIRED; APPLICATION; FEE; TRANSFERABILITY; FALSE STATEMENTS, (B) The annual registration with updated information will still be required for Purposes of maintaining accurate information, but the recurring annual permit fee of $30.00 will be eliminated. Initial permit fee will remain $30.00. Page 9: Section 12. FINES Eliminate the non -response clause; and, instead, impose heavier fines at the level of the 5th false alarm; invoke the revocation of the alarm permit and any applicable, fines for operation of an alarm system without a permit, as Provided for in the current draft, These proposed modifications will still allow us to meet our goal of reducingfalse al Will do so in a manner that will provide a win:win solution for all parties cocerned. alarms, It would like to thank the Board of County Commissioners in advance for your consideration Again, I the Proposed ordinance that will go before you.

Wheeler, Sheriff FEBRUARY 2, 1999 -23- BOOK i U pmu 247 6a11KJ08 %E 248 -1 Sheriff Gary Wheeler noted that he has been receiving input from Crime Watch, Neighborhood Watch, the alarm industry, as well as private citizens and businesses for over a year in an attempt to tailor the ordinance to fit our County. 97% to 99% of all alarms are false, usually caused by user error. 10% of these calls are caused by equipment failure, 5% by weather, and 5% miscellaneous. In 1990, the Sheriff's department answered 5,232 alarm calls; in 1996 8,240; and in 1998 10,000. That is a 91% increase. Deputies are spending 15 minutes of every hour responding to these calls. There has been tremendous growth in the alarm industry, mostly due to improved systems and reduction in pricing. Sheriff Wheeler continued that his department has been working with the Model States Program which includes the states of Florida, Missouri, Illinois, Washington and California. This program was designed to see what the causes of false alarms are and to make suggestions for reduction in responding to false alarms. Results from the Model States Program show a 40% to 60% reduction in false alarms in the first year. Sheriff Wheeler added that administration of the ordinance would require a clerical worker to handle the records. He then introduced Ronald Walters, Florida Committee for Model States Program, Coordinator for the Florida Executive Board, and Bob Sammons, of the Alarm Association. Ronald Walters, 9500 Northwest 19°i Street, Pembroke Pines, FL, Coordinator for the Florida Executive Board of the Model States Program, noted that the program is taken to law enforcement agencies initially at no cost to the agencies. We know that 99% of alarms are false and we know that 48% of these false alarms are caused by less than 10% of users. He believed that penalties for false alarms need to be severe but will only affect a small percentage of the population. Chairman Macht asked how many alarm companies operate in the County, and Mr. Walters responded that no records are kept. These companies can come into town and do one job and then leave. There are also companies who work here but do not have customers in the County. Bob Sammons, 529 Dahlia Lane, Vero Beach, stated that the alarm industry never expected to grow this big or have this many problems. The Executive Board of the Model States Program is doing a fabulous job and he was very impressed with the proposed ordinance. He believed that a permit renewal fee should be included in the ordinance, as well as a registration fee, and felt that the small percentage of the population causing most FEBRUARY 2, 1999 of the false alarms should pay for administration of the program, rather than the general taxpayers. He was in favor of the program and noted that Palm Beach County has 70,000 alarms and is averaging a 15% increase per year. Penny Chandler, of the Chamber of Commerce, 1216 21' Street, stated that'they have worked with the Sheriff on this ordinance and urged the Board to adopt the program. A lot of unnecessary time is being spent by deputies responding to these false alarms. Commissioner Adams questioned the One Plus Duress Alarm in Section 2(P): (P) One Plus Duress Alarm means the manual activation of a silent alar signal by entering at a keypad a code that adds one to the last digit of the normal arm/disarm code (normal code =1234 one plus duress code =1235). Mr. Walters explained that this is a way to turn off the alarm system at the premises but still send a silent signal which the Sheriff's department would respond to. This feature is generally found in the older alarm equipment. General discussion ensued regarding fees and fines and user awareness classes: SECTION 11. FALSE ALARM USER AWARENESS CLASS. The administrator shall oversee the creation and implementation of a false alarm user awareness class. The program shall inform alar users of the problems created by false alarm dispatchers and teach alarm users how to operate their alar systems without generating false alar dispatches. The Alar Review Board may waive fines and recommend the awareness class. The class will be held at different times to allow attendance and to minimize scheduling conflicts. There shall be a $35.00 administrative fee to attend the class; the fee will cover costs associated with conducting the course, including all informational materials and handouts. SECTION 12. FINES. (A) An alar user or the master permit holder for an apartment complex shall be subject to fines, warnings an suspension or revocation of permit depending on the number of false alarm dispatches emitted from an alarm system within a 12 -month period based upon the following schedule: Number of False Alarm Dispatches 4 5 and above FEBRUARY 2, 1999 On site written notice/ warning letter #1 On site written notice/ warning letter #2 On site written notice/ warning letter #3 (May be waived if school attended) On site written notice/ warning letter #4 (Mandatory attendance of school) On site written notice of revoked permit (Subsequent false dispatches will be i-med as operating a non-permited system; additional violation fees may apply accordingly) Fines No Fee No Fee $100.00 $175.00 $250.00 ea -25- -OINK ACL BOOK 108 WE- 250 Commissioner Adams then noted that Section 2(D) regarding the Alarm Review Board calls for 2 at large members to be appointed by the other 3 members: (D) Alarm Review Board shall consist of five members as follows: the Alarm Administrator, a representative appointed by the Sheriff, a local alarm business representative appointed by the local alarm association, and two (2).members of the public at large, alloin nted by the other three (3) members Commissioner Adams preferred that the Sheriff appoint those at -large positions and believed that there should be strict guidelines for the Review Board to consider when waiving fines as set forth in Section 13: SECTION 13. APPEAL FROM FINES/ GRIEVANCE PROCESS (A) An alarm user may appeal assessment of a fine to the Alarm Review Board by filing a written request for a hearing setting forth the reasons for the appeal within ten (10) working days after receipt of the fine. The filing of a request for an appeal hearing with the Alarm Review Board stays the assessment of the fine until the Alarm Review Board makes a final decision. (B) The Alarm Review Board shall conduct a formal hearing and consider the evidence by any interested person(s). The board shall make its decision on the basis of the preponderance of evidence presented at the hearing including, but not limited to, evidence that a false alarm dispatch was caused by a defective part that has been repaired or replaced or that an alarm dispatch request was caused by criminal offense. The Board shall reserve the right to call upon the respective alarm company to provide a representative in order to verify attempts to correct/not correct a failed system. The board must render a decision within thirty (30) days after the request for an appeal hearing is filed. The board shall affirm, reverse or modify the assessment of the fine, and/or inlcude attendance at the false alarm awareness school. The decision of the Board is final as to administrative remedies. Commissioner Adams also noted that the Review Board will become quasi-judicial and they will need to understand the procedures involved. Commissioner Adams then asked for an example of the consequences of a violation, and County Attorney Vitunac responded that violation of a County ordinance is punishable by a fine of up to $500 per incident and up to 6 months in jail. Commissioner Ginn questioned the language in Section 5(C) requiring notarization, and County Attorney Vitunac advised there is no legal reason for that requirement so it can be deleted. ON MOTION by Commissioner Tippin, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved the revisions to the proposed Ordinance and authorized the advertisement for public hearing, as recommended by staff.

Keatin , MCP THROUGH: Sasan Rohani, AICP �'%%• .7 Chief, Long -Range Planning FROM: John WachtelU "" Senior Planner, Long -Range Planning DATE: January 25, 1999 RE: Schwerin Realty Company and Others Request to Rezone Approximately 29.5 Acres from RM -6 and RS -6 to RM -8 (RZON 98-10-0061) It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of February 2, 1999. This request is to rezone approximately 29.5 acres to RM -8, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 8 unitslacre). The western 28.8 acres of the site are currently zoned RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre), while the eastern 0.7 acres of the site are currently zoned RS -6, Single -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre). Somewhat irregularly shaped, the subject property is depicted on attachment 2 and is generally located near the northwest corner of the intersection of 41' Street (South Gifford Road) and Indian River Boulevard. The purpose of this request is to secure the zoning necessary to develop the site with a residential use at a density that is consistent with its comprehensive plan land use designation. On November 12, 1998, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5 to 0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve this request to rezone the subject property to RM -8. FEBRUARY 2, 1999 • -27- BooK u PAGE L Fr- I Boa 108 PnE 25 The subject property and all surrounding property consist of citrus groves and are zoned either RM -6 or RS -6. The boundary between the RM -6 and RS -6 zoning districts is perpendicular to 4151 Street and is located approximately 780 feet west of the 415` Street/Indian River Boulevard intersection. The subject property and all surrounding properties north of41' Street are designated M-1, Medium - Density Residential -1, on the county future land use map. The M-1 designation permits residential uses with densities up to 8 units/acre. As part of the county's evaluation and appraisal process, properties south of the subject property, across 41' Street, were recently redesignated from M-1 to C/I, Commercial/Industrial, on the county future land use map. The C/I designation permits various commercial and industrial zoning districts. In the future, the county plans to rezone that property to the MED, Medical, zoning district. The subject property is not designated as environmentally important or environmentally sensitive by the comprehensive plan. No wetlands or native upland plant communities exist on site. According to Flood Insurance Rating Maps, the subject property does not contain any flood hazard areas. The site is within the Urban Service Area of the county. Wastewater service is available to the site from the Central Region Wastewater Treatment Plant, while potable water service is available to the site from the North County Reverse Osmosis Plant. The site can be accessed by both Indian River Boulevard and 41' Street. Classified as an urban principal arterial on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map, the segment of Indian River Boulevard that abuts the subject property is a four lane road with approximately 200 feet of public road right-of-way. No improvements to this portion of Indian River Boulevard are currently programmed. The site is also bounded by 41' Street, an urban collector road on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map. A paved two lane road, 41' Street has approximately 100 feet of public road right-of-way. No improvements to this portion of 41' Street are currently programmed. In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the rezoning request will be presented. Specifically, this section will include: • an analysis of the request's impact on public facilities; • an analysis of the request's consistency with the county's comprehensive plan; • an analysis of the request's compatibility with the surrounding area; and • an analysis of the request's potential impact on environmental quality. 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.. The adequate provision of these services is necessary to ensure the continued quality of life enjoyed by the community. The Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations (LDRs) also require that new development be reviewed to ensure that the minimum acceptable standards for these services and facilities are maintained. Policy 3.2 of the Future Land Use Element states that no development shall be approved unless it is consistent with the concurrency management system component of the Capital Improvements Element. For rezoning requests, conditional concurrency review is required. FEBRUARY 2, 1999 -28- • 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. For residential rezoning requests, the most intense use (according to the County's LDRs) is the maximum number of units that could be built on the site, given the size of the property and the maximum density under the proposed zoning. The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows: 1. Size of Area to be Rezoned: 2. Existing Zoning Districts: 3. Proposed Zoning District: 4. Most Intense Use of Subject Property Under Existing Zoning Districts: 5. Most Intense Use of Subject Property Under Proposed Zoning District: - Transportation 129.5 acres RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre) and RS -6, Single -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre) RM -8, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 8 units/acre) 177 Single -Family Units 236 Single -Family Units As part of the concurrency review process, the applicant has submitted a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). The county's Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed and approved that TIA. A TIA reports the number of peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips that would be generated by the most intense use of the subject property under the proposed zoning district, and assigns those trips to impacted roads. Impacted roads are defined in section 910.09(4)(b)3 of the county's LDRs as roadway segments which receive five percent (5%) or more of the project traffic or fifty (50) or more project trips, whichever is less. According to the approved TIA, the existing level of service on impacted roads would not be lowered by the traffic generated by development of 236 single-family units on the subject property. - Water With the proposed zoning, the subject property could accommodate 236 residential units, resulting in water consumption at a rate of 236 Equivalent Residential Units (ERU), or 59,000 gallons/day. This is based upon a level of service of 250 gallons/ERU/day. Development on the subject property would be served by the North County Reverse Osmosis Plant which currently has a remaining capacity of approximately 2,400,000 gallons/day and can accommodate the additional demand generated by the proposed rezoning. - Wastewater Based upon the most intense use allowed under the proposed zoning, development of the property will have a wastewater generation rate of approximately 236 Equivalent Residential Units (ERU), or 59,000 gallons/day. This is based upon the level of service standard of 250 gallons/ERU/day. County wastewater service is available to the site from the Central Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, which currently has a remaining capacity of more than 1,300,000 gallons/day and can accommodate the additional wastewater generated by the subject request. - Solid Waste Solid waste service includes pick-up by private operators and disposal at the county landfill. The county's adopted level of service standard for landfill capacity is 1.97 cubic yards/person/ year. With the county's average of approximately 2.3 persons/unit, a 236 unit residential development would be anticipated to house approximately 543 people (2.3 X 236). For the -subject request to meet the county's adopted level of service standard of 1.97 cubic yards/person/year, the landfill must have enough capacity to accommodate approximately 1,070 (543 X 1.97) cubic yards/year. A review of the solid waste capacity for the active segment of the county landfill indicates the availability of more than 830,000 cubic yards. The active segment of the landfill has a 2 year capacity, and the landfill has expansion capacity beyond 2010. Based on the analysis, staff deteranned that the county landfill can accommodate the additional solid waste generated by the site under the proposed zoning district. FEBRUARY 2, 1999 -29- • BOOK 108 PAGE 253 A Fr BOOK 108 FACE 254 " - Drainage All developments are reviewed for compliance with county stor mwater regulations which require on-site retention, preservation of floodplain storage and minimum finished floor elevations. In addition, development proposals must meet the discharge requirements of the county Stormwater Management Ordinance. Any development on the subject property will be prohibited from discharging any runoff in excess of the pre -development rate. In this case, the minimum floor elevation level of service standard does not apply, since the property does not he within a floodplain. On-site retention and discharge standards, however, do apply to this request. With the most intense use of this site, the maximum area of impervious surface under the proposed zoning classification will be approximately 20.65 acres. The estimated runoff volume, based on that amount of impervious surface and the 25 year/24 hour design storm, will be approximately 882,350 cubic feet. In order to maintain the county's adopted level of service, the applicant will be required to retain approximately 241,930 cubic feet of runoff on-site. With the soil characteristics of the subject property, it is estimated that the pre -development runoff rate is 149.61 cubic feet/second. Based upon staffs analysis, the drainage level of service standards will be met by limiting off-site discharge to its pre -development rate of 149.61 cubic feet/second, and requiring retention of 241,930 cubic feet of runoff for the most intense use of the property. As with all development, a more detailed review will be conducted during the development approval Process. - Recreation A review of county recreation facilities and the projected demand that would result from the most intense development that could occur on the property under the proposed zoning district indicates that the adopted levels of service would be maintained. The following table illustrates the additional park demand associated with the proposed development of the property and the existing surplus park acreage. PARK INFORMATION LOS (Acres per 1,000 Population) Project Demand (Acres) Surplus Park Acreage 4.0 2.1712 232 Based upon the analysis conducted, staff has determined that all concurrency -mandated facilities, including drainage, roads, solid waste, recreation, water, and wastewater, have adequate capacity to accommodate the most intense use of the subject property under the proposed zoning district. Therefore, the concurrency test has been satisfied for the subject request. 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 the 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 decisions. While all comprehensive plan policies are important, some have more applicability than others in reviewing rezoning requests. Of particular applicability for this request are the following objectives and policies. - Future Land Use Element Objective I Future Land Use Element Objective 1 states that the county will have a compact land use pattern which reduces urban sprawl. Since the proposed rezoning is to increase the allowed density of land within the urban service area, the request works to create a more compact land use pattern within the urban service area By increasing the allowed density of land currently within the urban service area, as opposed to expanding the urban service area, the proposed rezoning reduces the chances urban sprawl will occur. For these reasons, the request is consistent with Future Land Use Element Objective 1. FEBRUARY 2, 1999 -30- 0 0 • - Future Land Use Element Policies 1.13 and 1.14 Future Land Use Element Policy 1.14 states that the M-1, Medium -Density Residential -1, land use designation is intended for residential uses with densities up to 8 unitstacre. In addition, Future Land Use Element Policy 1.13 states that these residential uses must be located within the urban service area. Since the subject property is located within an area designated as M-1 on the county's future land use plan map and is located within the county's urban service area, and the proposed zoning district would allow residential uses no greater than the 8 units/acre permitted by the M-1 designation, the proposed request is consistent with Policies 1.13 and, 1.14. - Future Land Use Element Policy 2.2 Future Land Use Element Policy 2.2 states that the county shall encourage and direct growth into the urban service area through zoning and LDRs. Since the proposed rezoning would allow and encourage more development on the subject property and the subject property is within the urban service area, the request implements Future Land Use Element Policy 2.2. - Future Land Use Element Objective 4 Future Land Use Element Objective 4 states that the county will reduce the number and length of trips on county roads. The site is located adjacent to or near several of the county's largest employment centers, including the US 1/37' Street Hospital Node and the Vero Beach Municipal Airport. Many people who work in those employment centers live in moderately -priced, low to medium density housing. The RM -8 zoning district is intended for such uses. Therefore, the proposed rezoning will increase the opportunity for people who work in those areas to live near their jobs, thus reducing the length of their trips to and from work. For this reason, the request implements Future Land Use Element Objective 4. - Transportation Element Objective 11 and Policy 11.1 Transportation Element Objective 11 and Policy 11.1 state that the county will increase densities in the urbanized area and along major transportation corridors in order to facilitate future mass transit provision. Since the proposed rezoning will increase the allowed density along and near several major transportation corridors, this request implements Transportation Element Objective 11 and Policy 11.1. As part of its consistency analysis, staff compared the proposed request to all the objectives and policies in the plan and found no conflicts. Therefore, the request is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Because the subject property is nearly surrounded by either major roads or other multiple -family zoning districts, compatibility is not a major concern with respect to this request. Although several citrus groves currently abut the subject property, the county anticipates that those groves will eventually be converted to residential uses. Staffs position is that multiple -family residential development is appropriate for the site and that such development would be compatible with surrounding land uses. Located adjacent to the US 1/37`x' Street Hospital node and near the Vero Beach Municipal Airport, the subject property is particularly well suited to meet the demand for multiple -family housing generated by those employment centers. In effect, the proposed rezoning would increase the opportunity for people to live near their place of employment. With most of the site already zoned for multiple -family uses, this request is primarily for a density increase (consistent with the comprehensive plan). Since the density increase meets the concurrency test and is consistent with the site's future land use designation, the request is not anticipated to negatively impact surrounding areas. For these reasons, stafffeels the requested zoning district would be compatible with adjacent residential development. _ FEBRUARY 2, 1999 • -31- BOOK 108 FAGE255 BOOK 108 m, 5 Being a citrus grove, the site has been altered. Since the subject property contains no environmentally important land, such as wetlands or sensitive uplands, development of the site is anticipated to have little or no impact on environmental quality. For this reason, no adverse environmental impacts associated with this request are anticipated. Based on the analysis, staff has determined that the requested zoning district is compatible with surrounding areas, is consistent with the comprehensive plan, meets all concurrency criteria, will have no negative impacts on environmental quality, and meets all applicable rezoning criteria Most importantly, the subject property is located in an area deemed suited for medium -density multiple - family residential uses. For these reasons, staff supports the request. Based on the analysis, staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve this request to rezone the subject property to RM -8. William Caldwell, 756 Beachland Boulevard, Vero Beach, Attorney for the Applicant, asked for a postponement to March 9, 1999.

REQUEST FOR FUNDING FROM: Joseph A. Bair OMB Director DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS The Treasure Coast Food Bank is requesting an emergency agency grant in the amount of $9,500.00 to renovate the Treasure Coast Food Bank warehouse. In August 1998 the Treasure Coast Food Bank purchased and moved into the facility at 1102 S. U.S. Highway # 1 in Ft. Pierce which unfortunately needs renovation. Their projections for these renovations are as follows: Air Conditioning $18,900.00 Cameting $5,900.00 Electrical Repairs $3,500.00 Plumbing $1,500.00 Locks and Security $1,050.00 Painting Interior $2,000.00 Painting Exterior $9,500.00 New Roof $35.000.00 Fencing $1,500.00 Lot Paving 5 000.00 Si a e $1,500.00 Contractor $8,900.00 Moving Expenses $1,500.00 TOTAL .750.00 They applied to counties for funding using a formula that was based on the emergency food distributions that were made in each area. They were as follows: Counix AmountReauested Action Martin $24,900.00 Turned Down St. Lucie $39,250.00 $5,000 roved Okeechobee 24 00.00 Turned Down Tndian River ig-sno-on Pending ANALYSIS The Budget Director does not recommend funding the $9,500 to the Treasure Coast Food Bank for the following reasons: 1. Other counties have not approved paying their fair share of the Treasure Coast Food Bank's request. FEBRUARY 2, 1999 -33- non 108 FnE 257 Fr- -I BOOK 108 pw 258 ANALYSIS - continued 2. Indian River County has a policy that in April of each fiscal year all agencies submit requests for the following year's budget. Every year agency's requests exceed the money that is available. Many agencies are denied or their budget requests are reduced. This request is for renovating a building purchased in August of 1998. The food bank should have known in April of 1998 that they were intending to purchase and move into the facility and could have submitted an agency packet in April 1998 with all other agencies requesting funding RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners deny the request and encourage the Treasure Coast Food Bank to apply for funding with other agencies in April 1999 for the 1999/2000 fiscal year. Brenda Noel, Executive Director of Treasure Coast Food Bank, Inc., asked for a withdrawal of their petition at this time and noted that they will re -apply at the proper time for budget requests.

CITY OF VERO BEACH FIREFIGHTERS RELIEF AND PENSION FUND - PROPOSED BENEFIT CHANGES AND REALIGNMENT OF INVESTMENT GUIDELINES AUTHORIZED IN CHANGES TO CHAPTER 175, FLORIDA STATUTES, PERTAINING TO MUNICIPAL FIRE PENSION PLANS The Board reviewed Memoranda of December 21, 1998 and January 3, 1999: TO: The Honorable Chairman and Members of the Indian River County Commission FROM: Thomas R. Nason, Chairman Board of Trustees of the City of Vero Beach Firefighters Relief and Pension Fund DATE: December 21, 1998 SUBJECT: Proposed benefit changes and realignment of the investment, guidelines authorized in the most recent changes in Florida Statutes, Chapter 175 as it pertains to Municipal Fire Pension Plans During the August 19, 1998 meeting of the pension board, the board unanimously approved the actuary exploring the fiscal impact of changing the plan benefits as follows: 1. Changing the monthly supplemental benefits from the existing rate of $10.00 per month per year of service to $25.00 per month per year of service. This benefit is to apply to the already retired members as well as members who will retire in the future. FEBRUARY 2, 1999 • 0 2. For those members who have not yet retired, the definition of compensation upon which their pension annuity is based be changed to a percent of total cash compensation including wages, salaries, bonuses, overtime pay and other compensation as reported to the United States Internal Revenue Service on each firefighter's annual W-2 form. Excluded from this calculation are the hump sum payments received at retirement for accumulated vacation and sick leave payments. The currently defined compensation is calculated on the annual base pay of each firefighter. The average compensation used to determine each employee's benefits is based on the highest 3(three) years compensation received as a firefighter at the time of his/her retirement. Lump sum payments for sick and annual leave are exempted from this determination. In support this change in benefits and we are pleased to submit the following. 1. An Actuarial Impact Statement, provided by the plan actuary demonstrating that the State revenue alone received by the plan from insurance premium taxes exceeds the cost of the requested benefits by $17,042.00 according to the actuarial valuation conducted in accordance with the data contained in the most recent actuarial plan valuation dated October 1, 1997. (Note each year this payment increases as the number of insurance policies increases as well as the valuation of the properties covered by fire insurance policies increases.) 2. As of October 1, 1997, the plan owned stocks, bonds, cash and other investments with a market value of $6,267,334.00. As of October 1, 1998 this market value increased to $6,682,790.00. As ofNovember 30, 1998 these investments had grown to $7,185,980.00. This extraordinary growth is in addition to the financial assumptions used by the actuary in October 1997 valuation study. The market value of the assets has grown by $918,646.00 in the period of 13 months. 3. In addition to the growth, the plan received a check from the Division of Retirement for $64,371.23. These monies were from the surplus in funds taken by the State of Florida, from the local plans, for the administrative cost of running the Division of Retirement over the previous years. Consequently, the coverage in owned assets and unforeseen cash payments multiply the coverage that is available to pay for the requested changes. Thus, it is extremely unlikely that any employer contribution would ever be required as a result of the requested changes. In accordance with the revised Chapter 175, Florida Statutes, that became effective October 1, 1998, the board voted unanimously to change the existing investment guidelines to conform to the new state rules. This includes memorializing its existing equities investment limit, at cost, to 50% of the value of the portfolio and further allowing the Investment Manager to invest up to 10% of the plan assets in foreign securities. (See Attached letter of June 18, 1998 from Patricia F. Shoemaker, State of Florida, Division of Retirement). A copy of the suggested new Statement of Investment Policy has been enclosed for your review and comment. The changes in the Investment Policy Statement are not radical, but simply update the prior Statement along with the addition of the ability to invest in selected high quality foreign equities when it is advantageous to do so. The members of the Firemen's Pension Plan sincerely request your review and concurrence with the above stated changes as outlined in the proposed ordinance of the City of Vero Beach. The plan benefit changes are well covered by the plan assets as well as with the increasing contributions from the State of Florida based upon the fire insurance premium tax. The changes requested in the investment policy of the plan represent a conservative realignment to the current practices used in pension management as well as conforming to the rules enacted this year by the Florida legislature. ` Your consideration of these matters is appreciated.

Chandler, County Administrator FROM: Doug Wright, Director of Emergency Services DATE: January 3, 1999 SUBJECT: Proposed Benefit Changes to the Firefighters Relief and Pension Fund and Realignment of the Investment Guidelines Authorized in Changes to Chapter 175, Florida Statutes, Pertaining to Municipal Fire Pension Plans On December 29, 1998, staff received the attached correspondence from Thomas R. Nason, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the City of Vero Beach Firefighters Relief and Pension Fund. The correspondence alluded to proposed changes to the Firefighters Relief and Pension Fund as well as realignment of the investment guidelines authorized in recent changes to Chapter 175, Florida Statutes, and was submitted for consideration and approval by the Board of County Commissioners. The Pension Fund Board of Trustees proposes the following changes: 1. Changing the monthly supplemental benefits from the existing rate of $10.00 per month per year of service to $25.00 per month per year of service. This benefit is to apply to the already retired members as well as members who will retire in the future. 2. For those members who have not yet retired, the definition of compensation upon which their pension annuity is based be changed to a percent of total cash compensation including wages, salaries, bonuses, overtime pay and other compensation as reported to the United States Internal Revenue Service on each firefighter's annual W-2 Form. Excluded from this calculation are the lump sum payments received at retirement for accumulated vacation and sick leave payments. The currently defined compensation is calculated on the annual base pay of each firefighter. The average compensation used to determine each employee's benefits is based on the highest three years' compensation received as a firefighter at the time of his/her retirement. Lump sum payments for sick and annual leave are exempted from this determination. In accordance with Chapter 175, Florida Statutes (revised) that became effective on October 1, 1998, the Pension Trustees are changing the existing investment guideline to conform to the new statutory requirements. This includes memorializing existing equities investment limit, at cost, to 50% of the value of the portfolio and further allowing the Investment Manager to invest up to 10% of the plan assets in foreign securities. A copy of the suggested new Statement of Investment Policy is attached and it simply updates the prior Statement along with the addition of the ability to invest in selected high quality foreign equities when it is advantageous to do so. In support of the proposed change in benefits, Chairman Nason submitted the following information or documentation: A. An Actuarial Impact Statement provided by the plan actuary demonstrating that the State revenue received by the plan front insurance premium taxes exceeds the cost of the requested benefits by $17,042.00 (Actuarial Plan Valuation dated October 1, 1997). It is noted in the documentation proved by Chairman Nason that this payment increases as the number of insurance policies increases was well as the valuation of the properties covered by fire insurance policies increases. B. As of October 1, 1997, the plan owned stocks, bonds, cash and other investments with a market value of $6,267,334.00. As of October 1, 1998, this market value increased to $6,682,790.00. As of November 30, 1998, the investments had grown to $7,185,980.00. This extraordinary growth is in addition to the financial assumptions used by the actuary. in the October, 1997 valuation study. The market value of the assets has grown by $918,646.00 in the period of 13 months. C. In addition to the growth, the plan received a check from the Division of Retirement for $64,371.23. These monies were from the surplus in funds taken by the State of Florida, from local plans, for the administrative cost of running the Division of Retirement over the previous years. FEBRUARY 2, 1999 -36- • 0 If the Board of County Commissioners approves the proposed changes as outlined in the proposed ordinance of the City of Vero Beach, the matter will be considered further by the Vero Beach City Council. As noted in the documentation, the plan benefit changes appear to be well covered by the plan assets as well as with the increasing contributions from the State of Florida based upon the fire insurance premium tax. Plan Actuary J. Stephen Palmquist and other representatives of the Pension Fund will be in attendance at the meeting to answer any questions the Board may have. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the documentation and information submitted, staffrecommends the Board favorably consider the proposed changes. Plan Actuary J. Stephen Palmquist, of Gabriel, Roeder, Smith & Company, noted that one of the changes relates to how pension funds can be invested; there are 2 changes in benefits; and 1 change in how pensions are calculated. At the present time, pensions are calculated using the base pay over the last 3 years. The proposed change would use the gross pay so that overtime could be included. The Plan at the present time has a supplemental benefit of $10 per year -of -service to assist in paying for health insurance in retirement. The proposal is to raise that benefit to $25 per year -of -service. The change in the way funds can be invested follows a change in the State statutes allowing up to 10% of the fund to be invested in foreign stocks. There is no additional funding required from the County to pay for these additional benefits. ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved the proposed changes, as recommended by staff.

Public Works Director SUBJECT: State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Roadway Jurisdiction Transfer Agreement, Amendment #1 - CR510(Wabasso Road) - US 1/SR5 to SRA1A REF. LETTER: Letter to James Davis from Gustavo Schmidt, FDOT dated January 14, 1999 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS On July 24, 1997 the Board entered into an agreement with the FDOT agreeing to pay half the cost of repairs to the Wabasso Road bridge crossing the Intracoastal Waterway or $150,000, whichever was less. At that time, the cost of the work was estimated by DOT to be $300,000. The estimate has come in more than originally anticipated. Therefore, the FDOT is amending the Agreement to state that the County will contribute an additional $85,000, or half the cost of the repairs, whichever is less. The maximum County share, therefore, is $235,000. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The cost of the work has increased due to the need to replace seawalls along the river bank. The additional work will benefit the County after DOT transfers it back to'the County.

UW -98 -02 -DS AND US -98 -03 -CS CHANGE ORDER NO.2 AND FINAL PAYMENT BACKGROUND On May 12, 1998, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved a labor contract with Driveways, Inc. in the amount of $48,040.54 and approved purchase of material in the amount of $17,623.62 for a total construction cost of $65,664.16 to relocate miscellaneous water and force mains in conflict with a proposed Florida Department of Transportation (DOT) drainage project in the Rockridge subdivision (see attached minutes of meeting). On October 20, 1998, the BCC approved Change Order No. 1, which adjusted the total labor contract amount to $74,057.04 and the total material cost to $19,502.41 (see attached minutes of meeting), for a revised total construction cost of $93,559.45. Construction of the project is now complete. During construction, the following additional changes were encountered: • Wastewater operations requested the contractor to install two additional isolation valves on the sewer collector main to minimise the number of customers affected by future outages. An Insta- Valve was installed at one location under pressure, due to the number of customers impacted by removing the main from service. A regular isolation valve was install at the other location, since the affected section of force main had to be relocated and hence, removed from service. • The contractor discovered that the small diameter force main that had to be relocated was a different type of PVC material than originally anticipated. Fittings for the antiquated pipe are no longer available. Consequently, the relocated pipe had to be constructed using ductile iron pipe, since associated fittings are adaptable to the existing PVC pipe. • Two of the water main conflicts identified in Change Order No. 1 were not needed, and eliminated from the contract. • A section of pipe that had to be replaced was discovered to be asbestos cement (AC) material. AC pipe has been identified as hazardous material by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and is required to be; handled by certified contractors. Since Driveways, Inc. is not qualified to handle AC pipe, the _health department had to oversee packaging of the material. This caused a delay in construction until accommodations could be made to have the hazardous material properly sealed and hauled to the landfill. We are now requesting approval of Change Order No. 2, and final payment to the contractor. FEBRUARY 2, 1999 E -41- BOOK PAGE 265 BOOK D8 SAGE 266 ANALYSIS The attached Change Order No. 2 results in an addition to the labor contract in the amount of $8,784.47, resulting in a revised labor contract amount of $82,841.51. The additional cost of material to accommodate Change Order 2 is $16,90329, which adjusts the total cost of material used on the project to $36,405.70, for a total construction cost of $119,24721. The contractor was previously paid $39,993.39 for 48% completion, and is requesting final payment of $42,848.12 for the remainder of the project. RECOMMENDATION The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve Change Order No. 2 with Driveways, Inc. in the amount of $8,784.47, approve final payment to Driveways, Inc. in the amount of $42,848.12, and authorize the Chairman to execute same, as presented- ON resented ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved Change Order No. 2 with Driveways, Inc. in the amount of $8,784.47; approved final payment to Driveways, Inc. in the amount of $42,848.12; and authorized the Chairman to execute the documents, as recommended by staff.
