SEWAGE SPILL OF OCTOBER 18, 1999 - JEAN KLINE,
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT
Jean Kline, Health Department Administrator, gave a brief presentation of the event.
On October 18, 1999 at 3:00 p.m. the gravity flow sewage main ruptured and at 10:00 p.m.
Doug Wright, Emergency Services Department Director, called her. She was advised that
8 to 10 million gallons of sewage had spilled and the County was advised to expect debris.
Ms. Kline went to the Health Department and called the State Health Administration Offices.
Beaches were closed from mid -County down south. At 11:10 p.m. the press was called and
beaches were closed northward to Jaycee Park. Warning signs were posted and 10 sampling
sites were located and selected. Arrangements were made for water analyses. A plume of
debris was photographed which spread 10 miles north and 6 miles south of the discharge site.
There were coordinated interpretations of the results of the samplings and other information
between the Department of Agriculture, State Emergency Operations, the Department of
Health Environmental Health Sections and the local Emergency Services Department. Sites
were tested for 4 days and none exceeded the quality criteria of the Florida Administrative
Code. Ms. Kline expressed thanks to Director Wright, Coastal Engineer Jeff Tabar, the
Recreation Department, the Vero Beach Police, the County Sheriffs Department, the media,
the press, Vero Beach Utilities, and the public. She encouraged people to connect to the
County sewer systems because of a large number of septic tank failures.
Commissioners Grin andAdams thanked stafffor a wonderful job, and Commissioner
Stanbridge commented that she was inNorth Carolina but felt comfortable knowing staffhad
the situation well in hand.

Herman Williams, 3554 Ocean Drive, had noted a discolored area in the ocean which
reached almost to Jaycee Beach and came from the south. He questioned whether that could
have been part of the sewage discharge, and Ms. Kline stated that was a fresh water lens that
rides across ocean water, not a part of the discharge.
NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TARN.

BEACH AND CITY OF SEBASTIAN
City of Vero Beach Mayor Carl Pease stated and he and Police Chief Jim Gabbard
got together to form an informal committee regarding the upcoming 41 of July celebration
as the firemen have decided not to undertake this activity any longer. Letters have been sent
out soliciting funds and they have received some good responses but they do need the
County's help. They are hoping to have an all -day celebration and student and military
bands have been contacted. The Army band from Atlanta will not be able to be here for the
41 of July but has agreed to play a concert locally in February, 2000. He asked the Board
to consider a $5,000 donation.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Ginn,
SECONDED by Commissioner Stanbridge, that the
sum of $5,000 be appropriated for the Fourth of July

SUBJECT: Mobile Resonance Imaging, Inc.'s Request for Abandonment of a Portion of
1St° Avenue Between 37'" Street and 37'" Place
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County
Commissioners at its regular meeting of October 26, 1999.
Mobile Resonance Imaging, Inc. has submitted a petition to abandon the segment of 18'" Avenue that
lies between 37" Street and 37" Place. The right-of-way is developed as a drainage ditch only. The
subject right-of-way is rectangular in shape, measuring 40'x 188'.
The applicant is requesting that this segment of right-of-way be abandoned to enlarge the buildable
area of his adjacent lot located immediately west of the 18'" Avenue segment. The lot is the site of
a site plan project that has been approved subject to approval of this right-of-way abandonment
request. The abandonment is necessary to make the setbacks adequate for the proposed site plan
layout. If abandoned, 20' of the abandoned area will be added to the applicant's site and 20' will be
added to the site immediately to the east. The Board is now to consider the abandonment request.
The subject 18'" Avenue right-of-way segment was created via the W.E. Geoffrey Subdivision which
was recorded in 1920. The right-of-way width of 40' does not meet the county's current 60' standard
for local road rights-of-way. Recently, this segment of right-of-way was developed as a drainage
improvement to help area drainage. If abandoned, the drainage improvements would remain and be
covered by a drainage and utility easement. This segment of right-of-way is not needed for access
to lots to the east and west which can be accessed from 37' Street or 37' Place.
No street access improvements are planned for this right-of-way segment, and staff has determined
that none will be needed.

BOOK Ili PAGE 138
Although the county does not desire to use the right-of-way for road building purposes, the right-of-
way is used for drainage and utility purposes. Therefore, the county Engineering Division is
recommending that a drainage and utility easement be retained over the entire right-of-way. For that
reason, the Resolution of Abandonment expressly reserves the entire right-of-way as a drainage and
utility easement.
Per guidelines established by the Board of County Commissioners, this petition was reviewed by all
county divisions and utility providers having jurisdiction or potential interests within the right-of-
way. All reviewing agencies and departments have recommended approval of the requested
abandonment, with the condition that the entire right-of-way be retained as a drainage and utility
easement. The subject right-of-way is not part of the roadway system as noted on the County
Thoroughfare Plan, and is not needed for the thoroughfare system. Furthermore, the abandonment
would not affect the right of convenient access to surrounding properties. Also, the County
Attorney's Office has reviewed and approved the attached abandonment resolution for legal form
and sufficiency.
Based on the analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners abandon its rights
to the subject right-of-way and authorize the chairman to execute the attached abandonment
resolution, with the following condition:
That the entire right-of-way be retained as a drainage and utility easement.
The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard
regarding this matter. There being none, the Chairman closed the public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams,
SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board
unanimously adopted Resolution 99-119 providing
for the closing, abandonment, vacation and
discontinuance of a portion of 18' Avenue between
37' Street and 37`h Place within the W. E. Geoffrey

drainage and utility easement (Mobile Resonance

RE: COUNTY INITIATED REQUEST TO AMEND THE TEXT OF THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
PLAN AMENDMENT NUMBER: CPTA 99-01-0179
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County
Commissioners at its regular meeting of October 26, 1999.
On February 13, 1990, Indian River County adopted its comprehensive plan. As required by state
law, all development activities must be consistent with the comprehensive plan, and all county
activities must conform to plan policies. Occasionally, the plan must be updated to reflect the latest
and best available information and to address changed conditions. Additionally, the plan must
periodically be reviewed and revised in order to reflect the community's changing needs and desires.
OCTOBER 26, 1999
• -26-
At this time, the county is initiating a comprehensive plan text amendment which involves several
elements of the plan. The affected elements are:
► the Coastal Management Element;
► the Economic Development Element;
► the Future Land Use Element; and
► the Recreation and Open Space Element.
Based on a review of the comprehensive plan, staff has identified text errors in policy 5.1 of the
Coastal Management Element and in policy 7.3 of the Recreation and Open Space Element. Part
of the purpose of this amendment request is to correct those errors.
At the November 24, 1998 Economic Development Council (EDC) meeting, a decision was made
by the EDC to review the policies of the Economic Development Element to determine if those
existing policies are producing the intended results. An EDC workshop was scheduled for January
12, 1999 to perform that review.
At the January 12 workshop, the EDC discussed each of the Economic Development Element
policies, and assessed whether completion of the actions called for in each policy would produce the
results needed to meet the objectives of the Economic Development Element. Based on the
workshop, the EDC directed staff to revise three policies and delete one policy. In addition, the IDC
decided that another workshop would be held on February 16, 1999, to complete its review of the
Economic Development Element's policies.
Based on discussions at that January 12 workshop, Planning staff and the Chamber of Commerce
staff met to review each policy of the Economic Development Element. In reviewing the policies,
staff assessed the type of action that was called for in each policy and determined if that action could
be defined and if that action could be completed. Consequently, staff recommended that nineteen
policies be revised and another nineteen policies be deleted.
On February 16, 1999, the EDC reviewed and approved the proposed changes to the Economic
Development Element policies and voted 9-0 to recommend that staff proceed with a county initiated
comprehensive plan text amendment to incorporate the proposed changes.
Since the transmittal public hearing on May 18, 1999, eleven Economic Development Element
policies have been modified to indicate that any economic development group designated by the
Board of County Commissioners may undertake the activities described in those eleven policies.
Policies 1.4. 1.5, 1.8, 4.13, 4.14, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 7.6, and 7.7 were the eleven policies modified.
Based on a review of the Future Land Use Element, staff has identified four policies that should be
revised. Polices 1.34 and 1.35 are being revised to rename the "mixed use" land use designation.
Policy 1.35 is also being revised to clarify which traditional neighborhood design standards should
be applied to mixed use projects. Policy 14.3 is being revised to correct an error in the text. Finally,
policy 6.1 is being revised to indicate that public services and/or facilities may be expanded to serve
traditional neighborhood design projects that are partially outside the urban service area and mixed
use districts that are consistent with the policies of the Future Land Use Element.

On March 8, 1999, at an advertised public hearing, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7
to 0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners transmit the proposed text amendment,
with the exception of policy 5.5 of the Future Land Use Element, to the State Department of
Community Affairs (DCA) for their review.
Proposed changes to policy 5.5 of the Future Land Use Element were presented by staff to the
Planning and Zoning Commission at that March 8 public hearing. Staff proposed reducing the level
of commercial development permitted in a residential planned development (PD) from 10% of the
total project aha to 3% of the total project area. The Planning and Zoning Commission concluded
that more information was needed regarding commercial uses in a PD. Staff was directed by the
Planning and Zoning Commission to research the issue and resubmit the proposed change in a future
comprehensive plan amendment window.
On April 29. 1999, the Professional Services Advisory Committee voted 7 to 0 to recommend that
the Board of County Commissioners transmit the proposed text amendment, with minor changes,
to the State Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for their review.
On May 18, 1999, the Board of County Commissioners voted 5 to 0 to transmit the proposed text
amendment to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for its review. The Board of
County Commissioners is now to decide whether or not to adopt the proposed comprehensive plan
text amendment.
Consistent with state regulations, DCA reviewed the proposed amendment and prepared an
Objections, Recommendations and Comments (ORC) Report (dated August 5, 1999), which
planning staff received on August 9, 1999. The DCA ORC Report (attachment 4) contained four
objections to this proposed text amendment. Those objections, which all apply to Future Land Use
Element Policy 6.1 are listed below.
1.) The policy as amended would allow residential and other uses in rural areas far removed
from urban areas. This allowance of land uses through out the rural county does not
discourage urban sprawl and fails to protect adjacent agricultural area and activities. This
pattern of sprawl disproportionately increases the cost in time, money and energy of
providing and maintaining facilities and services, including roads, potable water, sanitary
sewer, stormwater management, law enforcement, education, health care, fire and emergency
response, and general government. The amendment does not maximize the use of existing
and future public facilities and appears to allow urban development to occur in rural areas
at substantial distances from existing urban areas while leaping over undeveloped lands
which are available and suitable for development. [Rule 9J-5.003(140), F.A.C.; Rule 9J-
5.005(2); and Rule 9J -5.006(5)(g), F.A.C.)
2.) The data and analysis supplied with the amendment is insufficient to demonstrate that the
amendment would not allow the premature conversion of rural land to other uses and that
these mixed use and traditional neighborhood design developments are functionally related
to land uses which predominate the adjacent area. Rule 9J-5.005(2)
OCTOBER 26, 1999
• -28-
•
3.) The proposed policy appears to create some internal inconsistencies within the
comprehensive plan. The proposed policy allows uses, such as non -agriculturally related
businesses, within the Agricultural land use designation (Policy 1.10) that are inconsistent
with the uses allowed within that designation. It is also not clear whether accessory dwelling
units allowed in traditional neighborhood developments will be included in the calculation
of density. Additionally, it is not clear how the grid and interconnection to appropriate uses
on adjacent site requirements of Policy 18.1 shall be applied to an isolated rural area. [Rule
9J -5.005(a), F.A.C., and Section 163.3177(2), F.S.]
4.) The proposed amendments are inconsistent with the following goals and policies of the State
Comprehensive Plan (Chapter 187.201, Florida Statutes):
Goal 16 (Land Use), Policies 2., and 6.
The ORC report also contained two comments listed below. In contrast to objections, comments
cannot form the basis of a non-compliance determination. These comments, however, do indicate
DCA findings that should be addressed.
1.) Although Coastal Management Element (CME) Policy 5.1 references a definition for coastal
construction that may be applicable to coastal high hazard areas, the reference to Rule 9J-
5.003(19), F.A.C., may be incorrect. It appears that the intent of CME Policy 5.1 is to
address the coastal high hazard areas of the County. Therefore, CME Policy 5.1 would be
improved if Rule 9J-5.003(17), F.A.C., which is the definition of `coastal high hazard areas,"
was referenced.
2.) The County indicates that Economic Development Element (EDE) Policy 7.2 will be moved
to EDE Objective 2. However, the County does not assign a new policy number to EDE
Policy 7.2 to reflect the proposed change.
The adoption public hearing for this text amendment was originally scheduled for September 28,
1999. At that meeting, the Board of County Commissioners voted 5 to 0 to postpone the text
amendment final adoption hearing to its October 26, 1999 meeting.
In this section, an analysis of the proposed changes by element will be provided, including a
discussion of the county's response to DCA's ORC Report and the consistency of the amendment
with the comprehensive plan.
For policies being recommended for revision, new text is identified by a double underline, while
deleted text is identified by a strikeout. Due to significant changes in many of the policies of the
Economic Development Element, the double underline and strikeout method was not used to
illustrate recommended changes; instead, revised polices are provided entirely.
Policy 5.1 has been revised to correct a citation to the Florida Administration Code (FAC). As
shown below, -the original policy referred to Department of Community Affairs Rule 9J -5(3)(c)(3).
In the revised policy, the citation has been corrected to refer to the rules 9J-5.003(17) and 9J-5.012,

(CHHA) as identified in the Treasure Coastal Regional Planning Council Hurricane Evacuation
Study (1994). Figure 9.22 of this element is hereby adopted as the coup 's CHHA designation map
In total, twenty-two policies are being recommended for revision, and another nineteen policies are
being recommended for deletion. These recommended changes to the policies of the Economic
Development Element will result in policies that are more specific, policies that can be implemented,
and an overall improved comprehensive plan element.
Many of the policies of the Economic Development Element are the responsibility of the Economic
Development Division of the Indian River County Chamber of Commerce. Those policies primarily
address marketing activities. Based on the Economic Development Division's experience over the
last two years of marketing the county's economic development potential, it was the Economic
Development Division's recommendation to revise some of the Economic Development Element's
policies so that the Economic Development Division's role would be better defined and so that the
Economic Development Division could have more latitude in their marketing activities.
Policies such as 1.4 define the role and the actions required of the Economic Development Division.
In revising these polices, the Economic Development Division's role and required actions will be
better defined.
Policy 7.2 calls for the Economic Development Division to complete an annual marketing plan. This
plan will identify the specific marketing activities that will be undertaken by the Economic
Development Division in the upcoming fiscal year. Consistent with revised policy 7.2, the
Economic Development Division will be required to present its marketing plan to the EDC and have
the EDC approve that plan prior to the Economic Development Division submitting a request for
funds to the Board of County Commissioners.
Other policies have been revised to better define the actions required of the county. For instance,
policy 2.4 has been revised to identify the type of assistance that county staff will provide to private
industrial park developers who are attempting to establish industrial parks in Indian River County.
Policy 2.6, which lists the county's targeted industries, has been revised to expand that list of
targeted industries. The list has been expanded, based on the recommendation of the EDC, to include
any clean light industries that have average annual wages which are above the county -wide average
annual wage.
Policies such as 1. 12, 3.5, and 7.4, which call for actions that are duplications of other policies, have
been recommended for deletion. Other policies recommended for deletion include policy 1.6, which
called for the county to target industries whose seasons complement the seasons of the citrus
industry and tourist industry. Staff and the EDC have been unable to identify any such industries,
and the EDC indicated that the county should be targeting industries that create full-time
employment. For those reasons, policy 1.6 is being recommended for deletion.
Since the transmittal public hearing, eleven polices have been modified to indicate that any economic
development group designated by the Board of County Commissioners, not just the Indian River
County Chamber of Commerce, may undertake the activities described in those eleven policies.
Eight of those eleven policies were presented at the transmittal public hearing for other needed
revisions. Revised policies being amended include policies 1.4, 1.5, 1.8, 4.13, 6.2,_6.3, 6.4, and 7.7.
Additional policies being amended due to the above described revision include policies 4.14, 7.6,
and 7.10.

Following are the recommended changes for the Economic Development Element's policies. Under
each policy is a proposed action to revise or delete that policy. For policies that are being
recommended for revision, a revised policy is presented.
Policy 12: The county shall utilize existing industries as a magnet to attract new industries,
including support businesses for industries located in Indian River and surrounding counties.
Proposed Action: DELETE POLICY
Policy 1.2 will be combined with policy 1.5.
A: The county shall promote the growth of industries listed in SIC code 20 through 39 and
.s targeted by the county which provide skilled and semi -skilled jobs that pay higher than
wages.
Proposed Action: REVISE POLICY
The Economic Development Division of the Indian River County Chamber of Commerce and other
economic development groups designated by the Board of County Commissioners shall promote the
growth of industries listed in SIC codes 20 through 39 and industries targeted by the county which
provide skilled and semi -skilled jobs that pay higher than average wages. The Economic
Development Division shall determine the methods to be used to promote the growth of those
industries and identify these methods in its annual marketing plan. The results will be presented to
Policy 1.5: The county shall on a bi-annual basis support the Indian River County Chamber of
Commerce in surveying targeted businesses having more than ten employees. The purpose of the
survey is to identify opportunities and problems associated with businesses, to identify businesses

Policies 1.34 and 1.35
Based on DCA's ORC report and subsequent coordination with DCA sta$ county staff made minor
revisions to polices 1.34 and 1.35 to reduce the confusion as to the intent of those polices and to add
clarity to those policies. These revisions were not presented at the transmittal public hearing.
Policies 1.34 and 1.35 are being revised to rename the "mixed use" land use designation to the "new
town" land use designation. Although this floating land use designation does require a mixture of
land uses, the "mixed use" label does not accurately describe the type of projects that are consistent
with policies 1.34 and 1.35. While the term "mixed use" may describe a shopping center with office
uses or a residential area with accessory commercial uses, policies 1.34 and 1.35 are intended to
produce self-sufficient communities within which residents may be able to work, shop, and live.
In its comments for a previous comprehensive plan amendment (DCA Reference No. 98-IER),
Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council staff commented that the term "mixed use" is
unnecessarily vague and non -descriptive for what Indian River County anticipates through policies
1.34 and 1.35. Changing "mixed use" to "new town" will eliminate the vagueness of this floating
land use designation and more accurately describe the type of development consistent with policies
1.34 and 1.35.
This change will require staff to replace the term "mixed use designation" with "new town
designation" throughout the comprehensive plan. For the adopted portion of the comprehensive
plan, only policies 1.34 and 1.35, are affected by the change from "mixed use" to "new town."
Revisions to those polices are shown below. Revisions to the data and analysis section of the
comprehensive plan to reflect this name change will be done administratively.
Proposed Action: REVISE POLICY
Policy 1.34: The m4ed-as@ new town land use designation shall be a floating zone which may be
overlaid on any property with an agricultural land use designation (AG -1, AG -2, and AG -3). Each

the requirements of Policy 1.35.

Policy 6.1
Policy 6.1 is being revised to include traditional neighborhood design (TND) projects that are
partially outside of the urban service area and mixed use (new town) districts as exceptions to the
prohibition of providing infiastructure outside of the urban service area Both TND projects and
mixed use (new town) districts are similar to agricultural planned developments because each of the
project types tend to cluster buildings, thereby creating a land use pattern which provides an efficient
use of land. As a result of the clustering of buildings, TND projects and mixed use (new town)
districts provide an adequate transitional landscape between the urban service area and the
agriculturally designated area For those reasons, TND projects and mixed use (new town) districts
have been added to policy 6.1.

This section addresses and responds to the four objections and two comments contained in DCA's
ORC Report.
Objections 1, 2, 3, and 4
All four of DCA's ORC Report objections are related, and therefore will be addressed together.
Specifically, objections 1, 2, 3, and 4 all relate to the fact that Future Land Use (FLUE) Policy 6.1
is being amended to include traditional neighborhood design (TND) and mixed use designated
developments as exceptions to the prohibition of providing infrastructure outside of the urban service
area. In its review, DCA misunderstood why the county proposed changes to FLUE Policy 6.1.
DCA understood the changes to FLUE policy 6.1 as new justifications that would allow central
services to be extended outside of the urban service area; however, other FLUE policies currently
permit mixed use (new town) districts and TND projects to be located outside of the urban service
area. FLUE policy 1.34 describes the mixed use (new town) land use designation as a floating zone
which may be established only on the agricultural land use designations (A-1, A-2, and A-3). FLUE
policy 18.3 allows for a portion of TND projects to be located outside the urban service area.
Therefore, the revisions to policy 6.1 are not creating new justifications for expansion of central
services outside of the urban service area, as understood by DCA, but rather are reinforcing existing
justifications for expansion of central services outside of the urban service area.
To address DCA's concerns, county staff coordinated with DCA staff, explained the reasons for the
proposed changes, and made several minor amendments to revised FLUE Policy 6.1. Those changes
involve referencing FLUE Policies 18.2 and 18.3, which address TND projects, and referencing
FLUE Policies 1.34 and 1.35, which address mixed use (new town) district projects. With those
minor revisions, DCA staff is satisfied that the revised FLUE policy 6.1 is only reinforcing existing
justifications for expansion of central services outside of the urban service area. In addition,
renaming the mixed use designation to new town designation will clarify the intent of FLUE policies
1.34 and 1.35.
Comment 1
When this text amendment was initiated in January 1999, county staff was using the most current
available version of Rule 9J-5, F.A.C., which was dated July 1998. Since the text amendment was
initiated, a new version of Rule 9J-5, F.A.C. has been published In the new version, Rule 9J-
5.003(19) F.A.C. was re -numbered to (17). Therefore, the proposed amendment to CME Policy 5.1
has been revised to reflect the correct citation to the definition of coastal high hazard areas.
Comment 2
Since nineteen polices are being deleted from the EDE and other polices are being reassigned within
the EDE, county staff had planned on assigning a new policy number to Policy 7.2 as well as other
polices of the EDE at the appropriate stage of the comprehensive plan amendment process, which
is at the time of final adoption. EDE Policy 7.2 has been moved to EDE Policy 2.5.
Comprehensive plan amendment requests are reviewed for consistency with all policies of the
comprehensive plan. As per section 800.07(1) of the county code, the "comprehensive plan may be
amended only in such a way as to preserve the internal consistency of the plan pursuant to_ section
163.3177(2).F.S." -

The goals, objectives and policies are the most important parts of the comprehensive plan. Policies
are statements in the plan that 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 plan amendment requests. Of
particular applicability for this amendment request. is the following policy:
Future Land Use Policy 14.3
The most important policy to consider in evaluating a plan amendment request for consistency with
the county's comprehensive plan is Future Land Use Element Policy 143. This policy requires that
one of four criteria be met in order to approve a land use amendment request. These criteria are:
• a mistake in the approved plan;
• an oversight in the approved plan;
• a substantial change in circumstances affecting the subject property; or
• a swap or a reconfiguration of land uses at separate sites.
The following table shows how this comprehensive plan amendment relates to Future Land Use
Element Policy 14.3.

Coastal Management Element
Based upon its analysis, staff feels that the proposed change to policy 5.1 of the Coastal Management
Element meets the first criterion of policy 14.3 of the Future Land Use Element. As revised, policy
5.1 contains the correct FAC citation.
Economic Development Element
Based upon its analysis, staff feels that the proposed changes to the Economic Development Element
meet two of the criteria of Future Land Use Element policy 14.3.
Many of the Economic Development Element's policies that are being deleted are policies that
duplicate actions of other policies. Other policies that are being deleted are policies which did not
have a defined action. That constitutes a mistake in the comprehensive plan. Therefore, the
proposed changes meet the first criterion of Policy 14.3.
OCTOBER 26, 1999

BOOK III ME
There has also been a change of circumstances that supports the proposed revisions to the Economic
Development Element. That change relates to the Economic Development Division's experience
in marketing the county's economic development potential. Because of that experience, the
Economic Development Division has identified more efficient and cost effective marketing
activities. The Economic Development Element policies will enable the Economic Development
Division to use more effective marketing activities.
Because an effective marketing campaign changes as marketing trends change, the Economic
Development Element will be more general in nature, requiring the Economic Development Division
to prepare an annual marketing plan. Policy 7.2 requires the Economic Development Division to
complete a marketing plan each year and have that plan approved by the EDC.
Future Land Use Element
Based upon its analysis, staff feels that the proposed changes to policies 1.34, 1.35, and 6.1 meet the
second criteri6n of policy 14.3 and that the proposed change to policy 14.3 meets the first criterion
of policy 14.3.
Labeling the floating land use designation described in policies 1.34 and 1.35 as a "mixed use"
designation was an oversight. In the planning and development field, mixed use developments can
refer to one individual property or to an entire community. Policies 1.34 and 1.35 are intended to
create a self-sufficient mixed use community or new town. Therefore, the revised label, "new town,"
will better clarify the type of development that Indian River County anticipates by implementing
policies 1.34 and 1.35.
Policy 1.35s reference to FLUE policy 18.1 is being revised to clarify an oversight in the approved
plan. Certain subsections of policy 18.1 are already addressed in policies 1.34 and 1.35. Targeting
particular subsections of policy 18.1 in the revised policy 1.35 will eliminate any conflicts between
the requirements for mixed use developments and the requirements for traditional neighborhood
design projects.
As indicated in the previous section, the concepts of traditional neighborhood design (TND) projects
and mixed use districts are similar to the concept of agricultural PDs. The revisions to policy 6.1
correct the oversight of not including the two former development concepts in policy 6.1.
By revising the third criterion of policy 14.3, a mistake in the text will be corrected. A substantial
change in circumstances warrants a change in any portion of the comprehensive plan that is affected
by that change in circumstances. As originally stated, the third criterion may be construed as to be
available only for future land use map amendment proposals, which was not the intended notion of
that third criterion.
Recreation and Open Space Element
Based upon its analysis, staff feels that the proposed revision to policy 7.3 of the Recreation and
Open Space Element meets the second criterion of policy 14.3 of the Future Land Use Element.
Deleting the word "type" and the phrase "and preclude the use of those areas" from policy 7.3
corrects an oversight in the text of that policy and better clarifies the action of that policy.
While the referenced policies are particularly applicable to this request, other comprehensive plan
policies and objectives also have relevance. For that reason, staff evaluated the amendment requests
for consistency with all plan policies and objectives. Based upon that analysis, staff determined that
the requests are consistent with the comprehensive plan. _

It is stasis position that this proposed amendment to the county's comprehensive plan will enhance
the plan. Also, it has been demonstrated that this amendment maintains the plan's internal
consistency. Finally, the analysis section addresses DCA's ORC Report objections and comments.
For those reasons, staff feels that the proposed amendment should be adopted.
RRCOMMFNDATION
Based on the analysis conducted, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners
approve this proposed amendment to the comprehensive plan by adopting the attached ordinance.
Community Development Director Bob Keating explained that this is the final public
hearing which has been continued from the September 28' meeting. The changes being
proposed are minor with the exception of the changes to the Economic Development portion.
The changes to the Coastal Management and Recreation and Open Space elements are just
corrections to text and the Future Land Use element is being changed to rename the "mixed
use" designation to the "new town" designation.
The Chairman re -opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard
in this matter.
Guy Barber, 1678 Highlands Avenue, questioned whether the backup could be made
available to the public, perhaps at the library branches, prior to the meetings.
Peter Robinson questioned the change from "mixed use" to "new town", and Director
Keating advised that in 1990 when the County was going through the Comprehensive Plan
adoption process, an intervenor challenged some provisions of the Plan and a "mixed use"
OCTOBER 26, 1999 j
-47- BOOK �L.l P,*1
BOOK ill 01-U
designation was proposed as a solution. The name of that designation will now be changed
to "new town". The "mixed use" designation has actually been gone since 1990.
The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard regarding this matter. There
being none, the Chairman closed the public hearing.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams,
SECONDED by Commissioner Grin, to adopt the
proposed ordinance and approve the
recommendations made by staff.
Chairman Macht questioned the deletion of Policy 7.11 on page 42 of the backup, and
Director Keating responded that the County should actually be the entity to encourage
private support
Penny Chandler, Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce, felt it was not
necessary to keep this in the Economic Development element since this is something the
Chamber does as a matter of course.
Chairman Macht suggested the policy be left in since it has no effect
COMMISSIONER ADAMS AMENDED her
Motion to leave in Policy 7.11, and the amended
Motion was SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn.
OCTOBER 26, 1999
•
Commissioner Stanbridge questioned the "new town" designation, and Director
Keating noted that the designation requires a development of a minimum size of 1200 acres
and there has to be a 6 -mile separation between each project so designated. The project must
be designed to fimction in a self-sufficient manner as an alternative to urban sprawl and must
be a Florida Quality Development. This designation gives the County complete control and
would also be addressed through the Florida Quality Development process which is even
more stringent and is under the control of the Department of Community Affairs.
Guy Barber believed this designation sounds like "sustainable communities" and
noted that this will put a lot of restrictions on the owners of properties in the 6 -mile
separation areas.
THE CHAHWAN CALLED THE QUESTION and
the Motion passed unanimously. (STAFF WAS
DIRECTED to make available to the public a copy
of backup materials at the North County Library, the
Main Library, and the Law Library.) (Adopted
Ordinance 99-030 amending the tent of the

SUBJECT: Proposed LDR Amendment(s): Exemptions from Certain SR 60 Corridor Plan
Requirements for the 98th Avenue Manufacturing Area and for Historic
Buildings and Resources
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County
Commissioners at its regular meeting of October 26, 1999.
The proposed county -initiated LDR amendments relate to exemptions from certain SR 60 Corridor
Plan requirements for a manufacturing area located south of SR 60 on the west side of 98'h Avenue
and for historic buildings and resources.

• 98t° Avenue Manufacturing Area Exemption
Over the last few months, county planning staff has worked with Chamber of Commerce staff,
owners of manufacturing -businesses located along 98'h Avenue, and the SR 60 On-going Review
Task Force to address concerns about certain SR 60 Corridor Plan requirements applicable to
manufacturing businesses. All parties have agreed upon a proposed amendment to the existing land
development regulations (LDRs) that would recognize unique characteristics of the 98th Avenue
manufacturing area, ensure proper buffering, and provide certain corridor plan exemptions and
flexibilities for that area
At its meeting of August 24,1999, the Board of County Commissioners authorized staff to proceed
with formal consideration of the proposed amendment. On September 16, 1999, the Professional
Services Advisory Committee (PSAC) and SR 60 On-going Review Task Force jointly reviewed and
recommended approval of the proposed exemption for the 98'h Avenue manufacturing district.
• Historic Buildings and Resources Exemption
At its meeting of September 28, 1999, the Board of County Commissioners considered and adopted
amendments to the Wabasso Corridor Plan LDRs. At that meeting, the Board added to those
amendments a provision that exempts historic buildings and resources in Wabasso from certain
Wabasso Corridor Plan requirements in cases where the Corridor Plan requirements conflict with
historic preservation. Besides adding such a provision to the Wabasso Corridor Plan LDRs, the
Board directed staff to make a similar addition to the SR 60 Corridor Plan LDRs. Staff has now
added such a provision to the proposed amendments to the SR 60 Corridor Plan LDRs.
• Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation
At its October 14,1999 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend that
the Board of County Commissioners adopt the proposed SR 60 Corridor Plan LDR amendments
regarding the 981 Avenue and historic buildings/resources exemption.
The Board of County Commissioners is now to adopt, adopt with changes, or deny the proposed
LDR amendments.
Both exemptions are contained in a single LDR amendment ordinance. The amendments are
structured to delineate or reference both new exemptions in every subsection within the SR 60
Corridor Plan regulations where other existing exemptions are delineated or referenced.
• 99t° Avenue Manufacturing Area Exemption
The existing SR 60 Corridor requirements apply throughout the SR 60 Corridor. Besides the area
along SR 60 itself, the corridor includes the industrially zoned manufacturing businesses located
south of SR 60 on the west side of 98'h Avenue (see attachment #1). Although there are some other
industrially zoned properties within the SR 60 Corridor along 90`h Avenue, the subject segment of
99'h Avenue is the only area within the corridor where there is a concentration of solely
manufacturing uses.
Purely manufacturing uses differ from other uses allowed in commercial/industrial areas because
manufacturing sites are frequented by employees and suppliers rather than customers and "the
public". Currently, most SR 60 Corridor Plan requirements apply to industrial uses, although
industrial uses are specifically exempted from architectural/building and foundation planting

requirements "...for building facades that do not abut residentially designated areas or front on public
or platted roads." For manufacturing facilities located along 98th Avenue, this means that building
facades that face 9816 Avenue must meet the SR 60 Corridor Plan architectural/building and
foundation planting requirements.
Last May, staff held a pre -application conference for a proposed new 6,000 square foot
distribution/warehouse building for Dayco and informed the applicant of the special requirements
that would apply to the east facade of the building that would "face" 98th Avenue. Although the
applicant did not object to various other SR 60 Corridor Plan requirements, concerns were expressed
about the special requirements that would apply to the building's east face.
At the request of the 98th Avenue manufacturers, planning staff met, in June, with Chamber of
Commerce staff and representatives of the four manufacturing businesses located on the west side
of 98th Avenue. These manufacturers are: Float -On, Nylacarb, M.A. Ford, and Dayco (see
attachment #2). At the meeting, staff listened to concerns, presented the purpose and intent of the
requirements, and discussed alternatives.
Subsequently, in July, staff coordinated with the manufacturers, Chamber of Commerce sta$ and
the two members of the SR 60 On-going Review Task Force serving at that time (Gene Waddell and
Robert White) and developed a proposed LDR amendment that is acceptable to all parties. As
previously stated, the amendment was presented in August to the Board, and the Board authorized
formal consideration. On September 16#h the PSAC and the SR 60 On-going Review Committee
Task Force met jointly and voted unanimously to recommend adoption of the 98th Avenue
manufacturing area exemption. The proposed amendment, if adopted, would:
1. Designate for Corridor Plan purposes a "98"' Avenue Manufacturing District", located
several hundred feet south of SR 60, on the west side of 98t1 Avenue.
2. Exempt manufacturing uses in this "district" from architectural/building and foundation
planting requirements along the 981 Avenue "face" of buildings.
3. Require compliance with SR 60 Corridor Plan color, signage, and Thoroughfare Plan road
(98th Avenue) buffer requirements.
4. Allow an alternative Thoroughfare Plan road (98th Avenue) buffer requirement, whereby the
4' berm/hedge requirement may be reduced to a 2' berm or hedge in exchange for an increase
in canopy or understory trees.
This proposal is based upon the 9816 Avenue manufacturing "district's" unique standing within the
corridor. Within the corridor, this "district" is the only concentration of industrially zoned
manufacturing uses that are not open to the public. This district includes no uses that would invite
members of the public onto the business site (eg retail, accessory retail, repair, or self -storage uses).
Thus, the "public face" of these improvements is the view of the site from 98'h Avenue rather than
OCTOBER 26, 1999

•
on-site, close to, or at buildings. Therefore, the proposed amendment would require special
buffering along the 98* Avenue frontage of the subject sites, as well as building color and signage
requirements, but would exempt special architectural/building and foundation planting requirements
for buildings that will be located "behind" the buffer.
Historic Buildings and Resources Exemption
As previously stated, the Board directed staff to include the proposed exemption for historic
buildings and structures in the current amendments to the SR 60 Corridor Plan regulations. The
wording proposed is the same wording approved as part of the recent amendments to the wabasso
Corridor Plan regulations.
The proposed exemption furthers a county comprehensive plan historic preservation objective and
is consistent with LDR Chapter 933 historic preservation regulations. The proposed amendment
would allow historic preservation aspects of a development/redevelopment project to override SR
60 foundation planting and architectural/building requirements where conflicts arise.
Under the wording proposed, the Historic Resources Advisory Committee would review proposals
where such conflicts arise and would make a recommendation to the Planning and Zoning
Commission regarding which SR 60 foundation planting or architecturallbuilding requirements to
waive and to what degree. During its review and approval of such a development/redevelopment
project, the Planning and Zoning Commission would be authorized to grant exemptions from SR 60
requirements to ensure preservation of historical buildings/resources and their historical significance.
It should be noted that the proposed historic buildingtresources exemption wording is based upon
language from the comprehensive plan, Chapter 933, and historic buildings/ resources exemption
language used in the accessibility and building codes.
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the proposed LDR amendment
ordinance.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the following:
• Award the bid to Felix Equities Inc. as the overall low bidder meeting specifications as set forth in
the Invitation to Bid. Award the pick up of Type S-3 Asphalt by county trucks to all of the bidders
because this will allow the County to utilize the plant closest to the job site. Dickerson's plant is in
the South County and Ft. Pierce, Felix Equities in Vero Beach and Ranger Construction plants are
located in Ft. Pierce and Valkaria.
• Establish an Open End Contract with Felix Equities Inc with a not to exceed amount of
$800,000.00 for the period October 1, 1998 through September 30, 1999.
• Authorize the Purchasing Manager to renew this contract for two (2) additional one year periods
subject to satisfactory performance, zero cost increase, vendor acceptance and the determination
that renewal of this annual contract is in the best interest of the County.
Chairman Macht announced that Mr. Jenkins was not present to speak.
Commissioner Stanbridge had hoped that Felix Equities would be in compliance by
this time but they do not yet have a certificate of occupancy or a certification from an
engineer. She checked with DEP and they have no backup, just the information from the on-
site engineer.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams,
SECONDED by Commissioner Stanbridge that the
Board table the matter until next week's meeting,
November 2, 1999.

BOCK III ink *
Mike Herold with Felix Equities stated that they do have a letter from DEP, and
Commissioner Stanbridge responded that we do not have an engineer's certification or a
certificate of occupancy.
Community Development Director Bob Keating explained that the site was formerly
2 asphalt sites and has been used for this purpose for many years. Felix Equities has
complied with all site plan requirements and there have been more requirements attached to
them than to any of the former owners.
Commissioner Adams suggested that Mr. Herold get together with Commissioner
Stanbridge to address her concerns and noted that the County needs to err on the side of
safety.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the
Motion passed unanimously, by a 40 vote

BID NO. 9021
BACKGROUND
On November 10, 1998, the Board of County Commissioner's awarded Bid No. 9021 to Treasure Coast
Contracting (see attached agenda item and minutes) in the amount of $1,171328.10 to provide water service
and fire protection to the above -referenced project The project is now complete and the Department of
Environmental Protection has issued clearance to begin connecting customers. The Department of Utility
Services is now prepared to make final payment to the Contractor.
During construction, the Contractor was not able to drill under Vocelle Avenue m accordance with the
construction plans, due to interference with existing utilities. The City of Sebastian age° ' to allow the
Contractor to open -cut the crossings provided the entire intersection was overlaid. The City of Sebastian
also open -cut Vocelle Avenue at several locations during a drainage project Consequently, as an alterative
to overlaying the open -cut portions of the roadway, it was agreed that the Utilities Department and the City
of Sebastian develop an inter -local agreement to cost share in the repaving of Vocelle Avenue disturbed
during construction of the two projects. The Department of Utility Services is requesting approval of the
attached inter -local agreement to share in the cost of repaving Vocelle Avenue with the City of Sebastian.

ANALYSIS
The Contractor was previously paid $825.048.90 for 70.4% of the project There were miscellaneous
adjustments made to the amount of material used in the job (i.e. number of services, amount of pipe fittings.
etc.). Also, the City of Sebastian decided not to make the Utilities Department overlay certain intersections
previously mandated through their construction review. Change Order No. 1 reduces the contract amount
by $174,997.91(see attached copies of change order).
The County cut seven (7) intersections along Vocelle Avenue during the water project, while the City cut
five (5) intersections through the course of the drainage project The County's proportionate share of the
inter -local agreement is 60%, and estimated to be $9,000.00. The adjusted price with a 10% contingency is
$9,900.00. The cost avoidance of the inter -local agreement, as compared to the Contractor's bid price for
overlaying seven (7) intersections, is $11,100.00 as calculated below (see copy of "Schedule Of Bid Items"
from contract):
000SF $.60
(7lntersections)xI S, — –$9,900.00=$11,100.00
`Intersection SF
The total effect of the change order decrease and the inter -local agreement increase ($164,997.91) results in
a 14.1% decrease to the originally approved contract and adjusts the contract amount to $1,006,330.19.
Utilities staff is now requesting final payment in the amount of $171,38129 to complete the County's
$996,430.19 obligation to the Contractor and contribute 60'/0, or an estimated $9,900.00 to the City of
Sebastian for overlaying Vocelle Avenue.
RECOAIlNENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County Commissioners
approve Change Order No. 1, approve final payment in the amount of $171,38129 to Treasure Coast
Contracung, approve an inter -local agreement with the City of Sebastian to repave Vocelle Avenue, approve
payment up to the amount of $9,900.00 to the City of Sebastian and authorize the Chairnm to execute
