Authorization to SubmitNationalRegisterAnnlication forMulti- Property District to Florida Historic Preservation Office - Jungle Trail The Board reviewed a Memorandum of February 9, 2000: TO: James Chandler County Administrator FROM: Robert M. Keating, AICP,W/,--, Community Development Director DATE: February 9, 2000 SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO SUBMIT NATIONAL REGISTER APPLICATION FOR MULTI -PROPERTY DISTRICT It is requested that the information presented herein be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of February 15, 2000. Several years ago, Indian River County obtained an ISTEA enhancement grant for improvements to Jungle Trail. The Jungle Trail enhancement project grant totaled approximately S3.1 million. That project proposed various activities, including hard surfacing Jungle Trail, shoreline stabilization, and others. During project design, it was determined that the project. as proposed, could not be constructed. Subsequently, FDOT allowed the County to restructure the Jungle Trail project, reducing the scope of the project as well as the project budget. As revised, the Jungle Trail project budget was reduced from the original $3.1 million to less than $1 million. The excess funds were allocated to several other enhancement projects within the County. Among the activities that remained in the revised Jungle Trail enhancement project was one involving archeological research along the Trail and adjoining property. The objective of that archeological work was to evaluate publicly -owned sites along the Trail for the purpose of obtaining National Register designation for a multiple property district. FDOT's archeological consultant has now completed its work and has prepared a National Register application submittal package. A copy of that material is on file in the Board of County Commissioners office. At this time, the Board of County Commissioners needs to authorize staff to formally submit the National Register application to the state Historic Preservation Office for consideration. Besides authorizing submittal, the Board of County Commissioners must authorize the Chairman to sign a statement that the County, as the owner of the property being submitted for the district designation, supports the National Register application proposal. February 15, 2000 22 Through its evaluation of properties along Jungle Trail, FDOT's consultant determined that the area encompassed by the proposed multiple property district has significant archeological resources and qualifies for National Register designation. At the present time, only one property is being proposed for designation as part of the district, but once the district is established, future properties (including several that FDOT's consultant evaluated as part of this project) will be incorporated within the district. National Register designation of the proposed district will provide acknowledgment of the archeological resources in the area, enhance eco -tourism opportunities, and benefit the County in other ways. Initially, only publicly -owned properties will be included in the district. Subsequently, archeological sites on privately -owned property may also be included. For the past few years, Commissioner Stanbridge has worked on this project, first as the County Historian and recently as a County Commissioner. She has assisted FDOT's consultant on this work, reviewed the proposed application, and supports submittal of the application. Staff has also worked with FDOT throughout the project, reviewed the submittal, and supports the application. Staffrecornmends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize staff to submit the Jungle Trail National Register application to the state Historic Preservation Office for consideration. Staff further recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the Chairman to sign the property owners support statement to be included in the application package. ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED BY Commissioner Stanbridge, the Board unanimously authorized staff to submit the Jungle Trail National Register application to the State of Florida Historic Preservation Office for consideration and authorized the Chairman to sign the property owners' support statement to be included in the application package, as recommended in the Memorandum.

Chandler; County Administrator DIYAWN HEAD CONCURRENCE: AlK Robert Id. Keating, AICP; omm . Development Director THROUGH: Roland DeBlois, AJCP; Chief, Environmental Planning FROM: Peter J. Radke; Economic Development Planner' DATE: February 08, 2000 SUBJECT: FLORIDA INLAND NAVIGATION DISTRICT ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY WATERWAYS; REQUEST FOR FUNDING CONTRIBUTION It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of February 15, 2000. The Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) is in the process of conducting an economic analysis of the Interacoastal Waterway (ICW) on a county -by -county basis. FIND has completed an economic analysis of the ICW in Palm Beach County and is initiating a similar analysis in Indian River County. The estimated cost of the analysis for the Indian River County portion of the ICW is $78,013.50. FIND is requesting that Indian River County contribute $15,000 toward the $78,013.50 cost of the economic analysis. BackgMund FIND was created in 1927 as the local sponsor for the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway project. FIND, in cooperation with the Jacksonville District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is responsible for maintenance of the ICW from Nassau County in the north to Miami -Dade County in the south, a distance of 374 miles. One of the major maintenance tasks performed by FIND is periodic dredging of the waterways to cancel out the shoaling from currents, upland soil erosion, and the movement of offshore sands through the ocean inlets. Maintenance dredging of the ICW is projected to cost approximately $7.8 million annually during the next 50 years. To fund this work, the Federal Government will continue to contribute $3.2 million annually and the remainder of the funds will come from property owners in the coastal counties under FIND's jurisdiction. February 15, 2000 24 • To justify this annual expense of $7.8 million as a wise economic investment to the general public and Federal, State, and local officials, FIND has initiated a number of economic studies of the District's waterways. Thus far, FIND has completed an economic analysis of the District's waterways in Palm Beach County and is initiating similar analyses in Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River Counties. At this time FIND is requesting the county's participation in this economic analysis both financially and cooperatively. FIND would like the county's cooperation in developing the economics of the waterways within Indian River County and FIND would like a one time financial contribution of 515,000. Attachment two is a fee proposal from the consultant, Gulf Engineers and Consultants, which has been selected to perform the economic analysis. Gulf Engineers and Consultants recently completed the exact same study for Palm Beach County, which is on file with the Board of County Commissioner's Office. Fcono is Angjysis O 'ective The objective of this analysis is to identify and quantify the regional economic development impacts, including business activity, personal income, employment, tax revenue, and property values generated within Indian River County as a result of maintaining navigation on the Waterways within the District. The reductions or increases to the current economic impact of the Waterways under two Waterway maintenance scenarios will also be quantified. Scone of Analygis The following activities will be performed by Gulf Engineers and Consultants: ► Estimate the regional economic development benefits accruing within Indian River County as a result of maintaining navigation on the Waterways; ► Review existing studies of the Waterways; ► Estimate the initial (direct) impact to marine related businesses within the FIND; ► Acquire and modify an inputioutput (UO) model capable of simulating the economic activity of each county within the FIND; ► Estimate the indirect and induced business activity, employment, personal income, tax revenue and property values attributable to the Waterways; and ► Estimate the impacts to the local economy of two Waterways maintenance scenarios. Benefits to Indian River Cou= ► Updated and usable economic data in the form of a computer database and a Geographic Information System (GIS) map layer that can be incorporated into various county studies and reports; and ► Provided with a technical report, an executive report, and a brochure that will present the Fesults in a "bullet" format for easy consumption. Costs to Indian River County ► A one time financial contribution of $15,000.00, from the county's M.S.T.U. contingency account, toward the total project cost of $78,013.50_; and ► County staff time via coordination with the project consultant. February 15, 2000 41 SOU�� fruLy • BOOK Based on the analysis conducted, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners agree to participate in FIND's Economic Analysis of the Waterways of Indian River County by: • Contributing $15,000 toward the cost of the analysis; and • Directing county staff to assist the project consultant as needed.

Community Development Director Robert M. Keating advised that he could not state exactly how much staff time would be required, but he expected it would not be significant. Concerning the studies' comparison, he stated that this new study appears to be more focused on the benefits of the channel and the waterway than to the overall economic benefits of the lagoon. Chairman Adams felt this is a lot of duplication and an expensive study for our county although FIND has been very generous with our county and their programs have increased our ad valorem tax base without question. ON MOTION by Chairman Adams, SECONDED BY Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously agreed to participate in FIND's Economic Analysis of the Waterways of Indian River County by 1) contributing $15,000 toward the cost of the analysis, and 2) directing County staff to assist the project consultant as needed, as recommended in the Memorandum.

Chandler County Administrator DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: Robert M. Keating, AIC Community Development Dir or .4. ,8 THROUGH: Stan Boling, AICP Planning Director FROM: John W. McCoy, AICP Senior Planner, Current Development DATE: February 9, 2000 SUBJECT: Pointe West of Vero Beach LTD's Request for Final Plat Approval for Pointe West North Village It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of February 15, 2000. Pointe West North Village is a part of the first phase of the overall Pointe West development. The conceptual planned development (PD) plan for the overall Pointe West project was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on March 9, 1999. On October 14, 1999, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the preliminary PD plan/plat for Phase IA of the Pointe West development. That phase allows for 165 single-family lots and 47 tracts with various uses. The proposed North Village final plat is a sub -phase of Phase IA, will establish 25 single_family lots and 27 tracts on 94.8 acres, and includes project streets and blocks that are located between SR 60 and 16' Street. Proposed tracts will be used for stormwater, recreation areas, and fiiture development. The final plat covers the area of the overall Pointe West development located north of 16m Street. The submitted final plat is consistent with the approved overall conceptual PD plan for Pointe West and the approved Phase IA preliminary PD plan/plat. February 15, 2000 27 BOOK L':0 fAUH �'� Boob i12 The owner's agent, Masteller, Moler & Associates, Inc., is requesting final plat approval and has submitted the following: A final plat in conformance with the approved preliminary PD plan/plat; and 2. An engineer's Certified Cost Estimate for the remaining required improvements; and 3. A completed Contract for Construction of Remaining Required Improvements; and 4. A letter of credit to secure the contract. None of the required subdivision improvements have been completed, although construction has commenced. The applicant is proposing to "bond -out" for the required subdivision improvements as provided for in the county's land development regulations. The Public Works and Utility Services Departments have reviewed and approved the submitted Engineer's Certified Cost Estimate and corresponding letter of credit amount. The County Attorney's Office has reviewed and approved the submitted Contract for Construction. The letter of credit, which represents 115% of the estimated cost to construct the required improvements, will be submitted prior to recording the plat. It should be noted that all improvements within the Pointe West development will be private, with the exception of certain utilities facilities that will be dedicated and guaranteed to Indian River County as required by the Utility Services Department. Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners: 1. Grant final plat approval for Point West North Village, and 2.

February 15, 2000 33 BOOK �" r -A � .� Fr; L .2- This is a request to rezone approximately 4.2 acres from the CG, General Commercial, District to the OCR, Office/Commercial/Residential, District. Located on the east side of 6'" Avenue, approximately 850 feet south of 8' Street, the subject property is depicted in Figure 1. The site is the commercially designated portion of a tract of land containing both residentially and commercially designated land, and running from 6'h Avenue to Indian River Boulevard. The purpose of this request is to secure the necessary zoning to develop multiple -family residential uses on the subject property. While residences are permitted uses within the OCR zoning district, they are allowed only as accessory uses within the CG zoning district. On September 23, 1999, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4 to 0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed rezoning. Figure 1: Location and Zoning of Subject Property February 15, 2000 34 Existing Land Use Pattern Zoned CG, General Commercial District, the subject property contains a manmade pond and three buildings. The northernmost of those buildings is a single-family residence owned and occupied by one of the applicants. The remaining two buildings on the subject property (a single-family residence and an office building) are vacant and are owned by the other applicant. Land to the south, adjacent to the subject property, is zoned CG and contains the Tropic Square Shopping Center. To the west of the subject property, across 6`" Avenue, land is zoned CG and contains a fruit stand and restaurants oriented towards US 1. A plant nursery, also zoned CG, abuts the subject property's north boundary. Land abutting the subject property on the east is owned by one of the applicants and is zoned RM - 10, Multiple -Family Residential (up to 10 units/acre). That land contains one single-family house. Future Land Use Pattern The subject property and properties to the north, south, and west are designated C/I, Commercial/Industrial, on the future land use map. The C/I designation permits various commercial and industrial zoning districts. Land to the east of the subject property is designated M-2, Medium - Density Residential -2, on the future land use map. The M-2 designation permits residential uses with a density of up to 10 units/acre. Environment Although most of the site is developed, it contains several large protected trees. Additionally, inspection of aerial photographs indicates that a small portion of a larger wetland on adjacent property may be located in the northeast corner of the site. Flood Insurance Rating Maps indicate that the site is not within a flood hazard area. Utilities and Services The site is within the Urban Service Area of the county. Water lines from the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant extend to the site. Wastewater lines from the South Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant also extend to the site. Transportation System The subject property abuts 6's Avenue and is part of a larger tract that abuts Indian River Boulevard. The segment of 6' Avenue abutting the subject property is a two lane road with approximately 50 feet of public road right-of-way. That segment is classified as an urban collector roadway on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map. The portion of Indian River Boulevard that borders the larger tract that includes the subject property is classified as an urban principal arterial roadway on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map. That section ofIndian River Boulevard is a four lane road with approximately 150 feet of public road right-of-way. Neither of those roads are currently programmed for expansion. February 15, 2000 35 na 600K F;A J1 -J Zoning District Differences As noted in the county's land development regulations, the CG zoning district is intended to accommodate general retail sales and selected service activities. The OCR zoning district, however, is oriented to less intense uses. According to county regulations, the OCR zoning district is designed for office, commercial, and residential development that is compatible with nearby neighborhoods. Permitted uses within the OCR zoning district include professional offices and residences. Residential uses within the OCR zoning district must meet the requirements of the RM -6 zoning district. Most retail, service, and other intense commercial uses are prohibited within the OCR zoning district. The difference between the CG and OCR zoning districts is best illustrated by the respective purpose statements of the two districts. These purpose statements, found in the land development regulations, are as follows: CG, General Commercial District, is intended to provide areas for the development of general retail sales and selected service activities. The CG district is not intended to provide for heavy commercial activities, such as commercial service uses, heavy repair services nor industrial uses. OCR, Office, Commercial, Residential District, is intended to provide areas for the development of restricted office, commercial, and residential activities in a manner which will be compatible with surrounding neighborhoods. The OCR district is further intended to provide land use controls for ensuring the separation of potentially incompatible activities, such as intense commercial uses, from established residential areas. 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. Concurrency of Public Facilities This site is located within the county Urban Service Area, an area deemed suited for urban scale development. The comprehensive plan establishes standards for: Transportation, Potable Water. Wastewater, Solid Waste, Drainage and Recreation (Future Land Use Policy 3.1). The adequate provision of these services is necessary to ensure the continued quality of life enjoyed by the community. The comprehensive plan also requires 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. 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 February 15, 2000 W. requested zoning district. For commercial rezoning requests, the most intense use (according to the county's land development regulations) is retail commercial with 10,000 square feet of gross floor area per acre of land proposed for rezoning. The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows: 1. Size of Area to be Rezoned: *4.2 acres 2. Land Use Designation: CA, Commercial/Industrial 3. Existing Zoning Classification: CG, General Commercial 4. Proposed Zoning Classification: OCR, Office, Commercial, Residential 5. Most Intense Use under Existing Zoning Classification: *42,000 sq. ft. of Retail Commercial (Shopping Center in the 6`" Edition ITE Manual). 6. Most Intense Use under Proposed Zoning Classification: *42,000 sq. ft. of Retail Commercial (Shopping Center in the 6'h Edition ITE Manual). As per section 910.07(2) of the Concurrency Management Chapter of the County's Land Development Regulations, projects which do not increase density or intensity of use are exempt from concurrency requirements. This rezoning request is exempt from concurrency review because the requested zoning would not increase the use intensity of the site. By changing the zoning of the subject property from CG to OCR, residential uses not currently allowed would be permitted on the site. However, because the most intense use of the property would be the same with either zoning district, changing the property's zoning from CG to OCR would not create additional impacts on any concurrency facilities. When new development is proposed for the subject property, a more detailed concurrency analysis will be conducted during the development approval process. Compatibility with the Surrounding Area Compatibility is not a major concern regarding this request. Located between existing CG and RM - 10 zoning districts, the subject property is well -situated to act as a transition area between commercial and residential development. In fact, the site is within approximately one mile of three other similarly situated OCR districts. The principal impacts of development of the subject property will be on the residential area to the east. Compared to the site's existing CG zoning, the proposed OCR zoning district is less intense. In terms of noise, hours of operation, and traffic generated, the impacts of OCR type development are less than the impacts of CG type development. Consequently, development under the OCR district would generally have fewer impacts than development under CG zoning. For that reason, the proposed OCR zoning of the site would be compatible with the surrounding residential uses. Since the current CG zoning of the subject property allows residential development only as an accessory use, the applicant cannot develop the property for residential use without zoning changes. February 15, 2000 37 r ;I 6 0 0 K rye F'>�GE �',� E0OX FADE � There are two principal alternatives available to the applicant which would allow residential development of the property. These are: 1. Amend the comprehensive plan to redesignate the site to a residential land use designation while simultaneously rezoning the site to a residential zoning. This alternative would cost $950.00 and take approximately 9 months. ?. Rezone the site to OCR. This alternative would cost $650.00 and take approximately 3 months. The applicant has chosen this alternative. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan Rezoning requests are reviewed for consistency with all policies of the comprehensive plan. Rezonings must also be consistent with the overall designation of land uses as depicted on the Future Land Use Map, which include agriculture, residential, recreation, conservation, and commercial and industrial land uses and their densities.. Commercial and industrial land uses are located in nodes throughout the unincorporated areas of Indian River County. The goals, objectives and policies are the most important parts of the comprehensive plan. Policies are statements in the plan which identify 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 is the following policy. Future Land Use Element Policy 1.15 states that the commercial land use designation is intended for uses such as retail and wholesale trade, offices, business and personal services, residential treatment centers, limited residential uses, and other similar type uses. In addition, that policy states that all commercial uses must be located within an existing or future urban service area. Since the subject property is located within a commercial/industrial node within the county's urban service area, the request is consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1.15. While the referenced policy is particularly applicable to this request, other comprehensive plan policies and objectives also have relevance. For that reason, staff evaluated the subject request for consistency with all plan policies and objectives. Based upon that analysis, staff determined that the request is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Potential Impact on Environmental Quality Environmental protection regulations are the same under both the existing CG and the requested OCR zoning districts. Prior to site development, the applicant will be required to submit an environmental survey. If that survey indicates that a wetland exists on the site, then federal, state, and county wetland protection regulations apply. Because the site is under five acres in size and does not contain any native upland plant communities, the county's 10/15% preservation requirement does not apply. Permits must be issued by county environmental planning staff, however, prior to the removal of any protected trees. February 15, 2000 38 • For these reasons, rezoning the subject property from CG to OCR is not anticipated to generate any adverse environmental impacts. The requested zoning is compatible with the surrounding area, consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the comprehensive plan, and meets all applicable concurrency criteria. The subject property is located in an area deemed suitable for a mix of office, restricted commercial, and residential uses. The request meets all applicable criteria. 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 from CG to OCR. 1.

Keating, AIC Community Development Direc -A7* THROUGH: Stan Boling, AICP Planning Director FROM: John W. McCoy, AICP�, Senior Planner, CurrenfDevelopment DATE: January 25, 2000 SUBJECT: Vernon Foster's Request to Modify the Conceptual Planned Development Plan For Pelican Pointe Phase H It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of February 15, 2000. Shalloway, Foy, Rayman & Newell, Inc. has submitted an application on behalf of Vernon Foster to modify the approved conceptual planned development plan for Pelican Pointe Phase II. The subject PD project area is located within the existing, overall Pelican Pointe development, just south of the existing Pelican Pointe marina and west of the Indian River Lagoon. The overall Pelican Pointe development is zoned multi -family residential and is located between US #I and the Indian River Lagoon, immediately east of the City of Sebastian. At its regular meeting of December 8, 1998, the Board of County Commissioners granted conceptual planned development plan approval for the Pelican Pointe Phase II project. The December 8, 1998 staff report for that project is attached (attachment #3). The approved plan allows for 15 single- family lots, 13 of which have a 0' sideyard setback on one side and a 14' sideyard setback on the opposite side. Distinct from the existing Pelican Pointe condominium units, the proposed Phase II units are to be sold off with each unit on its own individual lot. The applicant is now requesting that the approved sideyard setback for the 13 lots referenced above be reduced from 14' to 10. Pursuant to PD ordinance section 915.26, any reduction to the setbacks previously established through the PD process requires approval of a modified conceptual plan through the public hearing process. Planning and Zoning Commission Action on the Modification: At its regular meeting of January 13, 2000, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously (6-0) to recommend approval to modify the sideyard setbacks of the Pelican Pointe Phase II conceptual PD plan (see attachment #6). February 15, 2000 42 PD Plan Modification To change the project's approved setbacks, the applicant must modify the currently approved conceptual PD plan. Once the modified conceptual PD plan is approved by the Board, no other project plan revisions will be needed. The project's existing preliminary PD plan and land development permit will remain in force. No project design changes are needed to make use of the requested setback change. As approved, the Pelican Pointe Phase II conceptual plan allows for a zero setback on one side of lots 2 -14. On the other side of those lots, the minimum setback is 14 feet. Units are to be arranged on lots so that each unit is detached and separated by a distance equal to the non zero setback. The applicant is requesting that the sideyard setback on the non zero setback side of lots 2 - 14 be reduced from 14' to 10'. This is the only modification proposed by the applicant with this application. Under conventional RM -6 zoning district standards, unplatted apartment or condominium units may be attached with no separation between them. Such is the case with the multi -family condominium units in the original Pelican Pointe development. The Pelican Pointe Phase 11 project's current approved 0714' sideyard setbacks result in a 14' separation between units. The proposed 0710' setbacks would result in a 10' separation.

Application 2. Location Map 3. Board of County Commissioners December 8, 1998 Staff Report 4. Site Plan 5. Landscape Plan 6. Approved Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Phil Freeland, 34 Cache Cay, with the Houston Cuozzo Group of Stuart (agent), spoke on behalf of the owner. He advised that this was a minor modification to the planned development for the site. It has been a long process, since the 1980's, to develop this site. Originally 72 units were proposed and approved on the 3.2 acre site. It has now been reduced to 15 units. In 1998 they developed a zero -lot -line -concept with 14 feet on one side and zero on the other. As they were getting ready to build, they learned from prospective owners that wider units were desired. This widening (from 30' to 34') does not impact any of the development on the site or any of the design of the site. It simply provides a few extra feet in each of the units, making them a little more spacious. He requested that the Board approve the request and stood ready to answer any questions they might have. Vice Chairman Ginn asked if one of the units could be removed and if the developer could meet the specifications of the PD. Mr. Freeland stated there would be a way to do that, but, obviously it would have an economic impact on the site. As was pointed out at the P & Z Commission meeting a 10' February 15, 2000 0 0 sideyard setback is the standard for that zone. Extra space was put in to accommodate the development, but it is a standard for the county. They are requesting a modification to the sideyard setback. Ward Freese, a resident of Pelican Pointe, stated he was not opposed to the modification but wanted to clarify some rumors he had heard. One concern he wanted addressed in public was the roadway in the rear and whether it would be closed as it enters the marina area. It has been and is presently being used as a walking path and the walkway to the marina area has just recently been completed as part of the walking circuit. This work was done at the expense of the owners. He wanted assurance that the walkway would remain accessible to residents. Director Boling stated that issue had been addressed with the original PD approval and there was a condition that prior to or via the final plat a pedestrian easement be established in favor of the Pelican Pointe Condominium Umbrella Association. That condition remains in effect as part of staff's recommendation to the Board. Mr. Freese asked for documentation of that, and Director Boling advised him it would be in the minutes and in staffs action letter to the applicant. Director Boling added that the actual easement would be put into effect either prior to or via the final plat, which is in the review process at this time. It was determined that no one else wished to be heard and the Chairman closed the public hearing. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED BY Commissioner Tippin, to approve staff's recommendation. February 15, 2000 45 A �1 le EOuK o °� Ft�jt �, -j3 BOOK Under discussion, Vice Chairman Ginn advised that she could not support the motion because she thought units were being put a lot closer together than should be allowed, and she was beginning to have real concerns about PD's. Commissioner Macht pointed out the alternative is to have the developer put in 3 stories of condominiums at a much greater density which would not be a very pretty sight. Chairman Adams thought that was what swayed her. She had been reading the letter from Mr. Henry L. Pellerin*. If 36 units were built straight up, there would be no view of the river. This plan, if approved, would have less impact on the river. Also, she noted that there are people who enjoy living with zero -lot line zoning. Vice Chairman Ginn was not convinced and felt the developer could remove one unit and noted her objection to developers who go to the maximum. Commissioner Stanbridge noted that all of the original conditions are still required, including the walkway easement. The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion carried 4-1 (Vice Chairman Ginn opposed). (CLERK'S NOTE: *Mr. Henry Pellerin's letter of February 12, 2000 has been placed with the backup of the meeting.) 9.A.3. PUBLIC HEARING - ORDINANCE NO. 2000-004 - LDR AMENDMENTS - 1) DEFINING YARDS THAT ABUT LIMITED USE RIGHTS-OF-WAY AS SIDEYARDS AND 2) USE OF DOCKS/PIERS ON VACANT SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS (CHAPTERS 901, 911, AND 971) PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD The Board reviewed a Memorandum of February 4, 2000: February 15, 2000 46 L_J TO: James E. Chandler County Administrator D ON HEAD CONCURRENCE: Obert eating, C Community Developme Director FROM: Stan Boling, AICP Planning Director DATE: February 4, 2000 SUBJECT: Final Hearing on Proposed LDR Amendments: Defining Yards That Abut Limited Use Rights -of -Way as Side Yards, and Use of Docks/Piers on Vacant Single -Family Lots It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of February 15, 2000. At its regular meeting of February 1, 2000, the Board of County Commissioners held the first of two public hearing on the referenced LDR (land development regulations) amendments. At that hearing, the Board considered recommendations and public input and directed staff to make certain changes to the proposed amendments. Staff has now made those changes, which are reflected in the attached ordinance. At the February lg hearing, the Board was satisfied with the first amendment regarding limited use right-of-way and side yard designations, as proposed. Therefore, no changes have been made to that amendment. At the same hearing, the Board directed staff to make changes to the second amendment regarding use of docks on vacant single-family lots. Those changes involved the elimination of a bonding requirement and the addition of a requirement for home construction and C.O. (Certificate of Occupancy) within 3 years of the date of dock permit issuance. Therefore, if the revised amendment is adopted, owners of vacant single-family waterfront lots will be able to build and use docks for their own watercraft subject to site plan approval and a condition that a principal dwelling must be constructed and C.O.'d on the lot within 3 years of issuance of a dock permit. Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the revised_ LDR amendment ordinance. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Excerpt of Drift Minutes from the February 1, 2000 Board of County Commissioners Meeting 2. Revised LDR Amendment Ordinance February 15, 2000 47 • The Chairman announced that letters had been received from Mr. Thomas Collins and Ms. Sallydale Wimbrow and will be placed on record. Planning Director Stan Boling reviewed the Memorandum and .pointed out that the first proposed change, having to do with sideyards, remains the same from the first public hearing. He noted that the second proposed change, concerning use of docks/piers on vacant single-family lots, has been modified in accordance with the directions of the Commissioners at the hearing held February 1, 2000. He explained the changes and recommended the adoption of the ordinance. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Jens Tripson,1740 2 V Street, wondered if someone came in asking for a swimming pool on a vacant lot if the Board would allow it. He also asked if the proliferation of docks and fishing piers on the Lagoon would necessitate the County buying another boat and hiring another code enforcement officer, as has been rumored, to patrol both sides of the Lagoon to make sure there are no violations. In response, Chairman Adams had not heard such a rumor; adding another code enforcement officer to patrol is not anticipated. She thought the Board felt there are other violations that would require code enforcement more than docks and piers. It was determined that no one else wished to be heard and the Chairman closed the public hearing. Commissioner Stanbridge was concerned about the 3 -year condition to build the dwelling and how that would work should a property be sold in the interim. Director Boling advised that the 3 -year time frame would not be affected by a sale of February 15, 2000 48 property, that the clock starts when the dock permit is issued and the clock would not re -start regardless of change of ownership. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED BY Commissioner Tippin, to adopt the ordinance as presented and recommended by staff. Commissioner Stanbridge announced that she could support the first amendment concerning sideyards, but not the amendment concerning docks. She reiterated her objections to relaxing the regulations on docks as stated at the February 1, 2000 public hearing. Chairman Adams asked the mover and seconder to withdraw their motion so each amendment could be voted on separately. MOTION WITHDRAWN. ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED BY Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously adopted the portion of the ordinance concerning sideyards as written and recommended by staff. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED BY Commissioner Tippin, to adopt the portion of the ordinance concerning use of docks/piers on vacant single-family lots as amended at the previous hearing and recommended by staff. Vice Chairman Ginn wanted assurance this pertains only to single-family lots and not February 15, 2000 49 BOOK 112 PAGE to lots owned by a developer and, after much discussion and several suggestions, staff was directed to insert language to ensure there would be one owner/one dock. (The intent of this motion was to preclude a developer from having several lots and building a dock or docks prior to developing the landside property.) There was additional discussion about putting back the requirement for a $1,500 bond which was deleted at the first public hearing, but the general consensus was to not include it for the same reasons stated previously. AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION regarding use of docks/piers on vacant single-family lots was made by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED BY Commissioner Tippin, to include in the language of the ordinance that there be one owner/one dock. THE CHAIRMAN RESTATED THE AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION AND CALLED THE QUESTION on the amendment which was approved unanimously. The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION ON THE MOTION (on docks & piers) AS AMENDED (one owner/one dock) and the motion carried 4-1 (Commissioner Stanbridge opposed). (ORDINANCE NO. 2000-004 ADOPTED AS AMENDED.) (CLERK'S NOTE: Copies of letters from Mr. Thomas R Collins and Ms. Sallydale Wimbrow have been placed in the backup file of this meeting.)

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FLORIDA COMMUNITIES TRUST COST -SHARE AGREEMENT EXTENSIONS - HARMONY OAKS - OYSTER BAR SALT MARSH LAAC SITES: TERMINATION OF BLUE GOOSE LAAC SITE ACQUISITION PROJECT The Board reviewed a Memorandum of February 8, 2000: TO: James E. Chandler County Administrator DEP TMENT HEAD CONCURRENCE: Robert M. Keating, AICP Community Development Di ctor FROM: Roland M. DeBlois �AICP Chief, Environmental Planning February 15, 2000 56 0 _I DATE: February 8. 2000 RE: Board Approval of Florida Communities Trust Cost -Share Agreement Extensions for the Harmony Oaks and Oyster Bar Salt Marsh LAAC Sites; Consideration to Terminate the Blue Goose LAAC Site Acquisition Project It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of Couniy Commissioners at its regular meeting of February 15. 2000. Attached, for the Board's approval consideration, are "Addendum 2 to Conceptual Approval Agreement" documents relating to the Harmony Oaks and Oyster Bar Salt Marsh Florida Communities Trust (FCT) environmental land acquisition cost -share projects. On December 8, 1998, the Board of County Commissioners approved the Conceptual Approval Agreements for the referenced projects. for 50% cost -share funding from the FCT. The referenced Addenda extend the FCT grant award expiration dates to July 27, 2000, to allow for ongoing negotiations. Also attached is an agreement addendum to extend the FCT cost -share grant for the Blue Goose acquisition project, which is up for renewal. The original Blue Goose project consisted of three separate ownerships (four parcels) totaling approximately ±25 acres. However, the character of that project has changed from when the grant application was original submitted. as explained hereafter. Conservation Easement on "Preuss Parcel' On May 26, 1999, staff presented an option contract to the Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (LAAC) for purchase of the ±1.93 acre "Preuss" parcel of the Blue Goose project. At that time, in lieu of the County's purchase of the parcel, Tom Collins offered to buy the property and preserve ±80% of it under a conservation easement, provided the County would allow him to build a single family home on the remainder of the parcel. On December 19, 1999, the Board of County Commissioners approved the conservation easement. and Mr. Collins is proceeding with his plans to build a residence on the eastern ± 20% of the parcel. Bermuda Club Parcel Regarding a second parcel in the project. at the southwest corner of Jungle Trail and Earring Point Road, that parcel is part of the "Bermuda Club" development now under construction. As reported to the Board when the Preuss parcel option was discussed, the developer of the Bermuda Club project was not willing to sell the corner parcel, and as development is progressing, the corner parcel will be used for private passive recreation and conservation/mitigation associated with the Bermuda Club project. The remaining two parcels of the Blue Goose project, owned by Alphid Ilett, consist almost entirely of estuarine mangrove wetlands and open water cove, and are not under threat of development. LAAC Recommendation LAAC, at its meeting of January 26. 2000, voted 12 to 0 to recommend that the Board terminate the Blue Goose acquisition project and notify the FCT of the action. February 15, 2000 57 I The —90 acre Harmony Oaks property, located adjacent to the Indian River Lagoon south of Vero Shores Subdivision at the south county line, was acquired by the County in May 1998. The FCT grant award is for 50% cost -share reimbursement. The FCT has recently approved a "project plan" for the property, and a wetland survey that is near completion is the final item needed for reimbursement to proceed. Completion of the reimbursement is expected to occur in the next month. The --163 acre Oyster Bar Salt Marsh project is located along the Indian River Lagoon on the barrier island, north of Round Island Park (riverside). Appraisals have been completed, and negotiations are underway with twelve owners in the project. The extension is necessary to allow for negotiations to progress. Blue(' oc If the County is to continue the Blue Goose acquisition project, it must make a determination on whether the remaining Ilett parcels meet the County's environmental lands program objectives as a "standalone" Purchase. It is unlikely that the land will be privately developed due to its environmentally sensitive characteristics, the Ilett parcels' value is in its potential use as mitigation for off-site development projects, VS. actual on-site development. If the County chooses to terminate the Blue Goose project, the FCT will release its matching funds reserved for the project to fund other projects on FCT's "contingency list." Coincidently, the highest ranked project on FCT's contingency list for this year's funding cycle is Indian River County's own "Wabasso Scrub Addition" project. Therefore, by terminating the Blue Goose project, the County will be releasing FCT funds to the benefit of another County LAAC project. Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the Board Chairman to execute the attached agreement addenda for the Harmony Oaks and Oyster Bar Salt Marsh LAAC projects. Regarding the Blue Goose LAAC site, staff recommends that the Board formally terminate the Blue Goose acquisition project, and that the Board direct staff to notify the FCT of the action. 1 • Maps of the Blue Goose. Harmony Oaks, and Oyster Bar Salt Marsh acquisition projects. 2• "Addendum 2 to Conceptual Approval Agreement" documents relating to the Harmony Oaks. Oyster Bar Salt Marsh, and Blue Goose projects. February 15, 2000 58 Chief Environmental Planner Roland M. DeBlois reviewed the memorandum using pages 138, 139, and 140 displayed on the ELMO, as well as an aerial photograph of the Blue Goose subject area, to assist in his presentation and respond to questions from the Commissioners. There was a great deal of discussion concerning acquisition of property for the so- called Blue Goose site and the continued desire on the part of the Commissioners to purchase property in that area. Mr. DeBlois indicated that the Ilett parcel of the Blue Goose Site is not for sale at a price the County is willing to pay. Commissioner Stanbridge pointed out that there is an unimpounded marsh that is likely owned by the State but is credited on our grant application, and felt that the County should continue to try to purchase the Ilett parcel as a "stand-alone" purchase. The Commissioners indicated an interest in purchasing property within that area and discussed proposed future ideas such as building an observation pier. Vice Chairman Ginn wanted information on the access to the Ilett parcel and Mr. DeBlois believed that the access road was tied to the land ownership. Commissioner Macht thought the feeling of the LAAC members in their recommendation to terminate the Blue Goose site acquisition project was that the County could get essentially what it wants without having to spend the money to purchase property. Vice Chairman Ginn thought there were some critical archaeologicalmiddens on the one parcel north of the road; Commissioner Stanbridge said they were south of the road on the piece of land that the Bermuda Club owns and proceeded to give some history of that _ property. Commissioner Stanbridge thought the unimpoundedmarshes mightbe consideredpart of the environmentally sensitive lands property that Indian River County should be purchasing if we can. She believed the cost would be minimal since it was mostly wetlands. February 15, 2000 59 EOG ' 2 1,G`r. �'_ BOOK Ill 2 FA'tJ�_8 Mr. DeBlois reminded the Board that a critical part is convincing the landowners to agree that the purchase price offers are reasonable. He agreed it was not a major amount of money, but was uncertain whether it could be successfully negotiated. Another point is that the Ilett parcel could be considered important to another landowner in the area, so there might be competition to purchase it. Vice Chairman Grin asked if we did purchase that property whether the County would have to put in an additional road just north of that private road or would we have access through that road. Mr. DeBlois responded that another main concern is the public access aspect. If we did acquire the property, we would have frontage on Jungle Trail and on Earring Point Road. He thought technically we would have the opportunity for a private access easement, but he was not sure if there was a public access easement on Earring Point Road. His point was that if we expect to get funding through the FCT, there must be public access. Commissioner Stanbridge commented that the County lost the public access with the Collins site and the Bermuda Club took their access back and was not a willing seller. The little comer piece at the northwest corner of Jungle Trail and Earring Point would provide some access into that unimpounded marsh area. Access would be limited, but we have tried to have limited access at several sites. That way the resource is not negatively impacted because the access is spread out. Mr. DeBlois offered a third alternative not already discussed, which is terminating the State project, but continuing as a county "stand-alone" project. The reason he was mentioning it was if it is continued as a State project, we are subject to the State's criteria and requirements on public access. ffwe do it as a county project, then we would have the flexibility of whatever we wish to do with the property, not subject to the State's criteria. Because it is a small property/cost, it is certainly an option. February 15, 2000 W _I • 0 MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED BY Commissioner Tippin, to approve staff's recommendation. Commissioner Stanbridge stated she could not support the motion and Vice Chairman Ginn wanted discussion. Under discussion, Vice Chairman Giem asked if we continue to seek to purchase the Ilett property, and we had some parking off Jungle Trail, would there actually be enough solid land or could you build a boardwalk out to the property. There was some discussion on this possibility, and more speculation. Because it seemed possible, Vice Chairman Ginn stated she would support the motion. site. Commissioner Stanbridge thought that would make a wonderful, yet small, viewing Mr. DeBlois indicated the spot on the aerial and thought there could conceivably be a small parking area and some boardwalk waterfront public amenity out to the marsh, but not to the river. Mr. DeBlois asked that the motion be clarified, asking the Board if they wished to terminate the State grant project, and if they also wanted to pursue any fiuther a purchase by the County on its own. Chairman Adams clarified that the motion on the floor was staff's recommendation which included the termination of the Blue Goose acquisition project. Commissioner Macht suggested the Board remember that it can always be put back through the process if anything changes. The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion carried unanimously. February 15, 2000 61 Commissioner Stanbridge thought the Board should consider the rest of the site (Ilett parcel) as a "stand-alone" for the County to pursue purchasing. Commissioner Macht supported the idea. Vice Chairman Ginn wanted to view this site, and Commissioner Stanbridge volunteered to take the Board and the Press on a tour. Chairman Adams believed the suggestion first should go to the LAAC, and Commissioner Macht suggested that the Board could still schedule a tour of the site and asked Acting County Attorney O'Brien if that would violate the Sunshine Law. Acting County Attorney O'Brien stated they could move forward to schedule a tour.

L'!� Project Engineer SUBJECT: Award of Bid #2026 - Wabasso Causeway Park Improvements IRC Project #9623B DATE: February 9, 2000 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Bids were received on January 26, 2000, for construction of park improvements, including shoreline stabilization, bathroom building, shower tower, sidewalks, turiblock pavers at the boat ramp, and reshaping of the parking areas. Alternate bid items were specified for low level lighting on the fishing catwalks, trash receptacles and park benches. The consultant's estimate of probable construction cost was $527,066.66.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Staff recommends that the Base Bid, plus Alternate No. 1, totaling $720,553.46, be awarded to William Glover, Inc. as the lowest, most responsive and responsible bidder meeting specifications as set forth in the Invitation to Bid. Although the lowest bid is substantially higher than the consultant's estimate, we believe that it is the lowest price that we are likely to receive in the current bidding market. In addition to a very busy construction industry, Hurricanes Floyd and Irene have generated even more projects for the local community of marine contractors. This has caused prices to rise faster than we could have anticipated when the estimate was prepared over a year ago. Staff fiirther recommends that Change Order No. 1 be accepted, for a net credit of $28,284.27. These credits have been offered by William Glover, Inc., for cost saving changes to the design of the building's foundation and framing design. William Glover, Inc., will provide signed & sealed design drawings for submission to the Building Department for permitting of the new design. The revised contract amount would be $692,269.19. This project is supported by several grants from State and local agencies which would require amendments, and perhaps reduced funding support, if we remove any of the major elements of the project scope. The MOT Highway Beautification Grant has provided $150,000, the FIND Waterways Assistance Program has provided $120,000, and the SJRWMD Indian River Lagoon Program has provided $100,000. Funding for the County's share is recommended as follows: 315-210-572-068.09 (1 Cent Sales Tax) $170,000.00 117-210-572-068.09 (Tree Fine Funds) $ 20,000.00 133-210-572-068.09 (Florida Boating Improvement Prog) $ 80,000.00 109-214-541-066.31 (Road Funds) $ 52,269.19 In addition, staff requests authorization for the Chairman to sign the contract and change order documents after they have been executed by the Contractor with all the required insurance and recorded bonds and upon review and approval as to form by the County Attorney. A sample Agreement, and Change Order No.I are attached for review. ATTACHMENT Sample Agreement Sample Change Order No. 1 Vice Chairman Ginn inquired why stemwall construction was being used for the project and not pilings, and Public Works Director James W. Davis explained that it was to keep the cost down; he assured her that it would provide a solid foundation and is appropriate for this area. Director Davis responded to Chairman Adams' request for a clarification on the costs and funding. February 15, 2000 64 40 0 In response to Chairman Adams' inquiries about wheelchair access, Project Engineer Sean McGuire detailed for her the handicapped accessibility provisions planned for the project. In response to Chairman Adams' inquiry about saving sales tax on purchase of materials for this project, Mr. McGuire responded that it had not been done on this contract, but he could look into it. Vice Chairman Ginn wanted to know the type of grass that would be planted because she thought the type that FDOT uses is ugly. Discussion ensued about grass types and "eye of the beholder" when it comes to beauty. ON MOTION by Commissioner Tippin, SECONDED BY Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously awarded Bid #2026 to William Glover, Inc. for the base bid plus Alternate No. 1 for a total amount of $720,553.46 and accepted Change Order No. 1 for a net credit of $28,284.27, giving a revised contract amount of $692,269.19, as fully set out and recommended in the Memorandum.

Attached are two original copies of Memorandum of Understanding No. 1448-40181-00-K-007 and two original copies of Cooperative Agreement No. 1488-40181-00-J-033 between the United States Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service and Indian River County. Through the development of this Memorandum of Understanding,the parties agree to work together in the development of certain public use facilities located on lands owned by the Pelican Island Refuge. Both the County and Fish and Wildlife Service have a mutual interest in the development and maintenance of these facilities. In this Memorandum of Understanding,the County agrees to work collectively and individually toward the completion and support of the project to the maximum extent practicable under the limits of its mission, legal authority, and fiscal limitations. The Cooperative Agreement is being implemented to facilitate closer coordination between the County and the Fish and Wildlife Service for planning efforts at Pelican Island. Both agencies are working on plans for public recreation facilities on lands owned by the Pelican Island Refuge. This agreement would fund the County to perform the planning and engineering work for the Fish and Wildlife Service's public use facilities. This would serve to achieve more consistent design theme for the jointly funded project. The County and their consultant will develop engineering designs and drawings, and the Refuge has agreed to reimburse the County for design and engineering work up to $50,000.00 for these engineering services. At this time, staff is asking the Board of County Commissioners to approve the Memorandum of Understanding No. 1"8-40181-00-K-007 and Cooperative Agreement No. 1488--40181-00-J-033. Approve Memorandum of Understanding No. 1448-40181-00-K-007 and Cooperative Agreement No. 1488--40181-00-J-033 and authorize the Chairman to execute the two original copies of both the Memorandum and the Agreement.

UTILITIES - PURCHASE ADDITIONAL POWER RAM HYDRAULIC PIPE PULLER The Board reviewed a Memorandum of February 1, 2000: DATE: FEBRUARY 1, 2000 TO: JAMES E. CHANDLER COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: DONALD R. HUBBS, P.E. �( DIRECTOR OF UTI ES PREPARED GENE A. RA= ' t4— AND STAFFED OPERATIONS MANAGER BY: SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF ADDITIONAL POWER RAM HYDRAULIC PIPE PULLER BACKGROUND At the present time, the Department of Utility Services are connecting new services at a rate of about 100 per month. The Water Distribution Division is charged with the responsibility of constructing and maintaining all water service connections. To minimize utility construction, roadway maintenance, and restoration cost. the Utility utilizes a Hydraulic Pipe Puller. This device installs waterlines underneath roadways, driveways, etc., without disturbing the roadbed. ANALYSIS 'he Water Distribution Division currently utilizes a Power Ram Hydraulic Pipe Puller System, Model 1010, which was manufactured in 1985. As outlined in the attached documents, the Water Distribution Division is requesting purchase of a second Power Ram Hydraulic Pipe Puller Model 2020, and Model 2613 Hydraulic Power Pack. Funds for the purchase of the additional Hydraulic Pipe Puller System were approved in the Deparmient's 1999/2000 Budgets in the amount of ($15,402.00 + $4,560.00) = $19.962.00. The purchase of the new Power Ram Hydraulic Pipe Puller System will allow for continuity and interchangeability between the two machines. The staff of the Department of Utility Services is requesting purchase of Power Ram Hydraulic Pipe Puller System Model 2020. and Model 2613 Hydraulic Power Pack in the amount of $22,022.00. The difference in the total purchase price of $2,060.00 ($22,022.00 - $19.962.00 = $2,060.00) is due to a price increase and will be [Wade -up from less than projected expenditures in the Utility Lift Station Rehabilitanon Renewal, and Replacement budgeted line item The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Indian River County Board of County Commission authorize the purchase of the Power Ram Hydraulic Pipe Puller System Model 2020, and Model 2613 Hydraulic Power Pack in the amount of $22.022.00, as per the attached quotation Funding will come from Account No. 471-269-536-066.49.

COUNTY ATTORNEY - CONSIDERATION OF TABLES OF ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONS FOR THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY ATTORNEY The Board reviewed a Memorandum of February 8, 2000: TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM Terrence P. O'Brien, Acting County Attorney DATE: February 8, 2000 RE: Consideration of Tables of Organization and Functions for the Office of the County Attorney 1. CURRENT ORGANIZATION The Office of the County Attorney consists of the following positions: County Attorney - hired by the BCC Deputy County Attorney - hired by the County Attorney Assistant County Attorney - hired by the County Attorney 2 Legal Assistants - hired by the County Attorney 1 Legal Secretary - hired by the County Attorney The office provides legal services to the Board and staff. 2. ORGANIZATION DOWNSIZING THE OFFICE: First, I do not think it is feasible to reduce the current number of legal assistants/secretaries. They have a number of independent functions, e.g., SHIP loans, court costs, right of way acquisitions, and utilities assessments and liens, which they February 15, 2000 carry out in addition to providing support for the attorneys. Therefore, even if the number of attorneys were reduced there still would be ample work for all three legal assistants/secretaries. The remaining question is whether it is feasible to downsize the attorney side of the office. I think the answer is yes with certain qualifications. Historically, every advisory committee meeting is attended by an attorney. These meetings are very time consuming and are a very poor utilization of attorney's time. It is recommended that an attorney be on-call to answer any questions that may arise during the meeting but not be present on a regular basis. There are some exceptions such as Planning & Zoning Board and the Code Enforcement Board. P & Z is in the evening so it doesn't cut into daytime attorney activity. CEB could be handled by a private attorney who would be needed about 5 hours a month, probably at a rate of $40 to $50 per hour. Another time consuming, disruptive activity is responding to the public in general who often just walk into the office looking for information. An appointment only procedure could be implemented. If these activities were lessed out of the attorneys' workload, then it may be feasible to reduce the number of attorneys to two. If this turns out where it doesn't conduce to good attorney service to the Board, committees, and staff, then the Board could look to bring in a part-time attorney, which may be necessary during vacations or illness. 3. ORGANIZATION PLACING OFFICE OF COUNTY ATTORNEY UNDER THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR: This type of organization is used very rarely. It creates a question of primary loyalty, i.e., is it to the County Administrator or to the BCC? Further, it removes the BCC from control and selection of attorneys. This type of organization also creates or gives rise to ethical problems for the attorneys. I would strongly recommend against establishing this type of organization. 4. ORGANIZATION - ATTORNEY SERVICES DELIVERED BY PRIVATE ATTORNEYS: This is generally an expensive method of providing attorney service. It can be used only when minimal attorney services are necessary. Further, staff becomes reluctant to seek advice because it causes the meter to run. A growing county the size of Indian River should not revert to this type of organization. 5. EMPLOYMENT PROCEDURES AND PRACTICES: Attorneys must perforce interface and work in close cooperation not only with the Commissioners but with numerous staff members. Logic and orderly administration dictates that there be input into the attorney selection process by staff. Accordingly, I propose that a selection committee, similar to that used now for the selection of architects and other professionals, be formed consisting of the County Administrator, Executive Secretary to the BCC, and an attorney from the Office of the County Attorney. The committee would evaluate all qualified applicants and forward their recommendatians to the Board of County Commissioners for consideration and final selection by the Board of County Commissioners. This would apply to the County Attorney and any Assistant County Attorneys. February 15, 2000 70 I feel that because of the nature of attorney-client relationship that exists that all future County Attorneys, as well as Assistant County Attorneys, be hired by the County by contract. Therefore, if the attorney-client relationship reaches a point where continuation of the relationship is not in the public interest the relationship may be terminated without resorting to termination for cause procedures and possible court appeals. The basics of the contract could provide for a continuing contract with an initial 9 months guarantee of employment and thereafter the continuing contract could be terminated with 30 days written notice by the BCC. The employee would be paid for any unused annual or sick leave and one month's severance pay for each year of service, up to a maximum of 9 to 12 months. A slightly different approach could be taken for the County Attorney's position. To attract high caliber applicants, the job could be placed in the "Senior Management Service Class" (Section 121.055, Florida Statutes). This class is a "position filled by an employee who is not subject to continuing contract and serves at the pleasure of the local agency employer without civil service protection...." This classification is very desirable from a retirement standpoint to the employee, and it still retains the ability to easily terminate the employee if that becomes necessary. Recommendation: Approve the procedures in paragraphs 2 and 5 and direct staff to begin the hiring process of an attorney who would be designated the County Attorney and to prepare an ordinance with an appropriate amendment to "Section 101.06. The County Attorney" of the Indian River County Code. To: FLORIDA BAR NEWS County Attorney.

EOE/AA February 15, 2000 71 F, !', N ,,11 �d,1 E00� � f� tr1 C w a""�y9 Acting County Attorney Terrence P. O'Brien reviewed his memorandum and advised that he had met with Chairman Adams last week and discussed the office of the County Attorney. He has looked into ways of perhaps making the office work more efficiently and with an eye toward downsizing. The memorandum reflects his findings and recommendations. In addition, he proposed that the responses to the employment advertisement be reviewed by a committee consisting of Administrator Chandler, Terrence P. O'Brien, Acting County Attorney, and Executive Aide Kimberly Massung which would give staff the ability to determine how the prospective candidates would fit into the - organization. This review committee could be enlarged or they could decide to not have it, but he felt it could facilitate the process if there is a large number of applicants. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht to approve the recommendation. Commissioner Macht wanted the position to fall under the "Senior Management Service Class" (Section 121.055 Florida Statutes) along with the County Administrator and Executive Aide to the Board positions. Acting County Attorney O'Brien counseled that they would have to file for that, and Administrator Chandler stated he was already in the "Senior Management Service Class." Chairman Adams believed the matter should be considered at a later time and she would want to see the financial implications of the designation before making a decision. Commissioner Macht agreed and WITHDREW his motion. There was discussion concerning the duties of the review committee and ideas ranged from short -listing to not short -listing the applications, but prioritizing them and whether the Commissioners should interview the top 3 or the top 5 or top 10. February 15, 2000 72 Vice Chairman Grin thought Chairman Adams should be a part of the review committee, if she had the time, and Chairman Adams indicated that either way would be fine with her. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED BY Commissioner Stanbridge, to approve staff's recommendation (paragraphs 2 and 5) and authorized the advertisement in the Florida Bar News as soon as possible. Vice Chairman Grin wondered if the salary range quoted in the ad is what they could expect to pay, and Acting County Attorney O'Brien stated it was a fair range in accordance with the requirements of the position. Discussion ensued about the salary and whether or not it should be put in the advertisement. Chairman Adams thanked Acting County Attorney O'Brien for a great job. She pointed out that it would be possible to hire outside attorneys who specialize when necessary. She also believed that freeing up our attorneys from having to attend committee meetings (since it is rare that they are needed and they would be only a telephone call away) would allow the office to work more efficiently. She also pointed out that the public will no longer be able to just walk in and see one of the attorneys but will be required to make an appointment. That will help them with fewer interruptions. Chairman Adams advised that another way to make the office of the County Attorney operate more efficiently included the idea of moving the entire office to one side of the hallway instead of having the split space as it now exists. Commissioner Tippin commended Attorney O'Brien on the memorandum which was very well done and very understandable. February 15, 2000 73 SOCK Acting County Attorney O'Brien quipped that "seldom does one have the opportunity to abolish your own job."* The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion carried unanimously. (CLERK'S NOTE: *For the record, Attorney O'Brien had previously announced his retirement for March 31, 2000.) 13.A.1. CHAIRMAN ADAMS - DESIGNATING SMOKING AREA The Board reviewed a Memorandum of February 9, 2000: TO: Members of the Board of County Commissioners DATE: February 9, 2000 SUB IECT: DESIGNATED SMOKING AREA FROM: Fran B. Adams_ Y `y1 Chairman In 1993, the Board of County Commissioners prohibited smoking in the Administration Building and other County Buildings. That has been a major improvement in the appearance and housekeeping problems in the buildings. However, we currently have created a new problem with the smoking employees congregating at the two front entries for their smoking breaks. Now the public must run the smoke gauntlet to enter our building. The solution is not to send those employees further away but to create an area for their use that is accessible but out of the front entry. A double solution would be to provide a patio off the east side of the cafe area with access through the cafe. Not only will the smokers be out of the way but the employees will have an outside area to sit and eat lunch. I would hereby request that staff come back with an estimate to provide the patio and access. February 15, 2000 74 a • • • Vice Chairman Ginn thought Chairman Adams' idea was splendid. Chairman Adams referred to Commission minutes of 1997 where this subject had been previously discussed. She felt it was the County's responsibility to provide a smoking area. She stated that General Services Director Thomas W. Frame has begun looking at an access on the east side of the County Cafe and should have some suggestions with costs in the near future. She felt this would be an appropriate solution which would be good for both the employees and the public. She asked if this met with the Commissioners approval. There was CONSENSUS to move forward with investigation of this solution. 13.A.2. CITY OF FELLSMERE -RESTORATION OF OLD SCHOOL FOR USE AS RECREATION CENTER Chairman Adams explained that she had met with John Little, Administrative Assistant for the City of Fellsmere, on the restoration of the "old school" and turning it into a recreation center, and the City had proceeded with efforts toward that goal. The community has done well in their fund-raising, however, the City is swamped now with grant projects and other things, and they are short staffed. The possibility of the County continuing this effort has been discussed. She believed they had a $200,000 grant and that there was money in this year's legislative budget for the school. She presented a letter which had been distributed to the Commissioners earlier and stated that if they approved this request, the letter would be taken to Thursday night's Fellsmere City Council meeting. Further she stated that she had discussed this with Administrator Chandler and there was an ability, through General Services Director Thomas W. Frame, for the County to oversee the restoration efforts through the grants and other funds. She believed there was great support from the City and the Recreation staff to move this project forward and asked for support from the Board. February 15, 2000 75 BOOK I ? A'�E Commissioner Tippin pointed out that the letter stated that the County would assume all existing contracts, and she explained that thus far the City has a $200,000 grant, they have chosen the architect to do the work, but they have not yet signed the contract with the architect. They wanted the County to approved the contract [they have already done the CCNA (Consultants Competitive Negotiations Act)] but no funding from the County will be involved in this project at this time and she does not foresee any. Chairman Adams also stated that the Fellsmere Frog Leg Festival has committed 75% of their profits to the "old school". MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by Commissioner Stanbridge, to authorize Chairman Adams to sign the proposed letter on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners. Vice Chairman Ginn wanted to know if the County would be getting into any financial commitments, and Chairman Adams responded that the County would be providing recreation staff and maintenance for the facility and those costs would be presented later. Vice Chairman Ginn thought that at that point in time we might expect the City to contribute as well, and Chairman Adams agreed. Commissioner Stanbridge pointed out the potential of further grant opportunities hies was phenomenal because of the recreational use. Commissioner Macht had a feeling that the legislative grant had a better chance of success this year than it did last year. Vice Chairman Ginn agreed but cautioned that there will be a time when money is not as "free-flowing" and then things will tighten up and the County will be looked to for funding.

COMMISSIONERMACHT -PUBLIC LIBRARYADVISORY BOARD The Board reviewed a Memorandum of February 8, 2000: TO: Commissioner Macht, Chairman Public Library Advisory Board FROM: Terrence P. O'Brien, Assistant County Attorney- G"' DATE: February 8, 2000 SUBJECT. Public library Advisory Board The subject Board was established by Resolution 86-104 which provided that the Board would consist of seven members, with five district members and two at large members. It appears that over the years this format may not have been followed. As I understand it, then Commissioner Eggert, Chairman of the Public library Advisory Board, on her own motion filled vacancies without regard to the original provisions. This resulted in the appointments made inconsistent with the original provisions of the resolution. The current Board is composed as follows: Name Commissioners District Commissioner Macht Commissioner Macht Jean Versteeg Commissioner Tippin Kathleen Bishop Commissioner Adams Donna Green Commissioner Tippin Margaret ieIAPMN;4K!� Commissioner Adams Phillip Mank, Jr. Commissioner Tippin Arnold Grobman Commissioner Ginn The breakdown is three members in Commissioner Tippin's district, two members in Commissioner Adams' district, one member in Commissioner Ginn's district and one member in Commissioner Macht's district. It would appear that the easiest method of putting the Board back to its intended composition would be to set aside all appointments. Have each Commissioner appoint one person to the Board and then have the full Commission vote on the two at large members. It is suggested that each district representative's term be concurrent with the term of the appointing Commissioner and the at large members be appointed for four years. February 15, 2000 77 Commissioner Macht commented that Acting County Attorney Terrence P. O'Brien's memorandum gave the information concerning the membership of the Public Library AdvisoryBoard. There is no problem with the individuals who are serving on that board and no change is advocated. He would, however, like to revert back to the original status where there were 2 at -large members, with each Commissioner having one appointment. He pointed out that Frank Coffey and George Gross have gotten together, with concurrence of the staff, and produced a rather remarkable document containing recommendations for the expansion of the Library. It is a comprehensive document that took a lot of work and, of - course, that is an expression of interest. He has begun to circulate the report and hoped the Commissioners will read it. He wanted to appoint either Mr. Gross or Mr. Coffey as his designee to the advisory board, but not both which would create a Sunshine Law problem (so they can continue to work together). He also felt that Commissioner Stanbridge should have an appointment. If the Commissioners agreed, he would appreciate having the others remain on the advisory board. Vice Chairman Ginn wanted to see Mr. Coffey as a member; he has shown a lot of interest and done a lot of work and is not on any other committee. Commissioner Macht had inquired whether Mr. Coffey would be interested and he had said "yes." Discussion ensued as to how the adjustments should be made to the advisory board to make it follow the creating resolution. There was CONSENSUS to allow the current members to remain and to add Mr. Coffey.
