7.J. 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.

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.

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.

3.) Final Report On the Economic Analysis of the District's Waterways in Palm Beach
County (On file with the BCC Office)
Chairman Adams inquired how much staff time will be required and wished to know
the difference between this FIND study and the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary
Program study previously done.
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.

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.

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. Authorize the Chairman to execute the submitted Contract for Construction of Remaining
Required Improvements and accept the letter of credit that secures the contract.

I have just learned that this will be of great conflict, with meetings being

duties and responsibilities of my present job position.
I would have very much liked the position of meetings in the evenings as a
volunteer on the planning and zoning board, and I do understand the residency
issue in place, at this time. Should ever another opportunity arise in the
district where I reside should open, please consider me again for that board.

Dear Chairman Adams:
PHONE (561) 569-6700
The Indian River County Sheriff's Office is pleased to inform you of our recent invitation to apply for
renewal of our COPS MORE `98 grant for a period of one year. If you recall, the Board's approval of the
this grant application allowed the Sheriff s Office to civilianize four (4) previously held sworn officer
positions within the civil process and courthouse security functions of the Sheriff's Office.
The renewal will be for the same amount as the original award of $84,720. Although, increased costs
due to cost of living, merit, etc. will be financed through normal budget procedures of the Sheriffs
Office, this grant renewal will allow us to defer $84,720 for fiscal year 2000-01.
In order to apply for the renewal, the attached Renewal Request Worksheet, Retention Statement,
Assurances and Certifications must be signed by the Board of County Commissioners. I have also
attached a copy of the Board's original retention letter dated 06/09/98.
1 am requesting that the Board consider and approve the request at your next scheduled meeting on
February 15, 2000 under the Consent agenda item.

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

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

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.

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

•
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.

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. Please seethe table below which
highlights the Pelican Pointe Phase R project design parameters and the proposed change.

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.

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).

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

DATE: February 3, 2000
The Indian River County Engineering Division has selected a consultant for design and permitting
services for the above mentioned project. 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

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,

12.A. 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

B.C.I. 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. Attorney O'Brien suggested he prepare a
resolution to add two at -large members and the Commissioners directed him to do that.
