expenditures . The funding now available is $32 ,256 . 00 from EMPG and $ 1 , 519 . 00 from balance ofEMPA .
Total funding available is $33 , 775 . 00 .

SUBJECT : Jack Large, Trustee ' s Request for Planned Development ( PD) Special Exception
Use Approval for River Island
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County
Commissioners at its regular meeting of January 9 , 2001 .
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS :
Mosbv & Associates , Inc . , on behalf of Jack Large , Trustee , has requested planned development
( PD ) special exception use and preliminary PD plan/plat approval for a project to be known as
"River Island" . The site is located between the Durrance Development subdivision and the Indian
River Lagoon, south of the River Boat Club subdivision and 95 ' Street . The site currently contains
several single- family and multi - family residences that total 12 rental units . This single phase project
proposes removal of all existing residential structures and creation of 1 single- family lot and 5
duplex lots for a total of 11 residences on 6 lots . The existing roadway that serves the site and
surrounding properties will remain but be improved with this project . The applicant is requesting
PD approval to obtain lot size , lot width, sidevard setback , and right-of-way width waivers to
accommodate redevelopment of the site within the existing physical constraints of the site ( access ,
east/west width , proximity to the lagoon, and proximity to an existing navigable canal ) .
• PD Project Process
The process involved in review and approval of this proposal is as follows :
Approval Needed Reviewing Bodv
1 . Conceptual Plan/ Special Exception PZC & BCC
2 . Preliminary PD PZC
3 . Land Development Permit ( LDP ) or Waiver Staff
4 . Final PD (plat) BCC
The applicant has requested approval of the first two steps . If the Board of County Commissioners
approves the request, then the applicant ' s next step will be to obtain from Public Works an LDP or
LDP waiver for required PD improvements .
• Planning and Zoning Commission Action
At its meeting of December 14 , 2000 , the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6 - 0 to
recommend that the Board approve the special exception request with conditions ( see attachment
#4) . Those recommended conditions are incorporated into staffs recommendation as it appears at
the end of this report . The Planning and Zoning Commission also approved the preliminary PD
plan/plat subject to Board approval of the special exception request .
January 9 , 2001

• Board of County Commissioners Consideration
The Board is now to consider the special exception use request and is to take action to approve ,
approve with conditions , or deny the use request . If the Board approves the special exception
request, then the Planning and Zoning Commissions preliminary PD plan/plat approval will become
effective .
ANALYSIS :
1 . Size of PD Area : 1 . 88 acres
2 . Zoning Classification : RM - 6 , Residential Multi -Family ( up to 6 units/acre )
3 , Land Use Designation : L - 2 , Low Density Residential 2 ( up to 6 units/acre )

7, Traffic Circulation : Currently , the site is accessed from 95 ' Street via an existing unpaved
roadway ( "52nd Court" ) which traverses the subject site and extends south of the subject site
to access existing residences located south of the project site . The project proposes to pave
52 "d Court from the south boundary of the subject site to 95 `d Street ( currently paved ) to
establish a platted right -of-wav for 52 "d court over the subject site , and to document access
easement rights for the portion of 52 "d Court that lies between the north boundary of the
project site and the eastern terminus of 95 `h Street . Thus , the project proposal will improve
an existing access roadway and formalize access rights over most of 52 "d Court . Traffic
Engineering has approved the proposed access improvement plan . Prior to or via the final
plat, formal access rights for adjacent property owners must be established from the eastern
terminus of 95 `h Street to the southern boundary of the subject site . Also , prior to issuance
of a certificate of completion for the project, 52nd Court must be paved from 95 ' Street to the
southern boundary of the subject site .
8, Stormwater Management : Currently, there is no stormwater system to handle and treat run -
off from the site ' s existing development . The project proposes to use a Miami curb system
to convey road run-off into the project site , and all residential structures will be elevated on
stilts . Within the area of the proposed lots , a stormwater management area will be
established whereby stormwater run -off will be held around and underneath the elevated
structures to allow percolation . To ensure containment of the run -off, site grading will create
a shallow basin around and under the units ( the stormwater management area ) . To ensure
percolation within this basin, significant amounts of the site ' s existing soils will be removed
and replaced with fine sand . This stormwater management plan is subject to SJRWMD
permitting and issuance of a county Type "B " stormwater management permit .

9 . Utilities : The project will be served by county water and sewer service . Utility Services and
Environmental Health have approved provision of those services .
10. Waivers : Because the project proposes creation of platted lots , a formal right-of- way and
setbacks from lot lines must be established . Due to constraints regarding the physical
location of 52nd Court and the fairly narrow east-west width of the site, a waiver from the
standard right-of-way width is justified. Also , because the site is zoned for multi - family
development and units may be attached (0 ' sidevard setback ) and arranged in a compact
fashion without PD approval , the proposed lot size and setback waivers are reasonable .

11 . Public Benefits : In return for the requested waivers, the applicant will be able to redevelop
a "grandfathered" site that has numerous setback and development non-conformities in a
manner consistent with the site ' s multi - family zoning. These redevelopment improvements
will upgrade the site and adjacent properties and will address site run-off which is currently
not addressed . Also , through the PD process, the PD will prohibit docks and observation
piers along the site ' s lagoon frontage, which will result in less physical and visual impact on
the lagoon than could otherwise occur under a conventional application request ( e. g . site plan
or subdivision) .
12 . Recreation Area and Pedestrian Improvements : Because fewer than 60 units are
proposed, no PD recreation area requirements apply, and no common recreation area is
proposed. A 4' wide sidewalk is proposed along the site ' s 52nd Court frontage and will
extend north to connect to the existing 95 'h Street sidewalk. This improvement satisfies the
PD pedestrian path requirement for this project .
13 . Dedication and Improvements : The proposed 52nd Court right-of- way and streetlight
improvements will be the responsibility of a private property owners association .
14 . Concurrency : The applicant has signed a concurrency acknowledgment agreement which
fulfills the concurrency requirements for site plan approval . The applicant will be required
to apply for and obtain a concurrency certificate prior to building permit issuance .

15 . Environmental Issues : Some jurisdictional wetlands exist next to the site ' s lagoon
shoreline, but no development is proposed in that area with this project . No negative impacts
are anticipated . There is a lagoon shoreline buffer requirement of 50 ' or 2010 lot depth ,
whichever is less . The 20% lot depth applied to this site would result in a lagoon setback of
approximately 25 . However, the PD plan proposes to exceed this requirement by
establishing a 30' wide shoreline protection buffer .
Also , to protect lagoon area and grassbeds from the impacts of lengthy docks , staff and the
Planning and Zoning Commission have recommended, and the applicant has agreed , to
prohibit docks and observation piers along the site ' s lagoon shoreline . Lot owners will have
an opporttmity to construct parallel docks along the navigable canal that lines the west side
of each lot. The lagoon dock and observation pier prohibition needs to be made a condition
of PD approval and noted on the final plat .
16 . Buffers and Setbacks : As previously noted , a special shoreline protection buffer is being
provided . The 25 ' PD perimeter buffer is satisfied along the perimeters , with the exception
of the northern perimeter of Lot 1 . Along the north side of Lot 1 , either a 25 ' building
setback needs to be provided or the abutting parcel to the north must be brought under the
project "umbrella" by being encumbered by the same restrictive covenants and under the
same homeowners ' association as the PD project area, as provided for in PD ordinance
section 915 . 16( 1 )( A) . Prior to or via the final plat either the 25 ' building setback or
restrictive covenants/PD homeownersassociation allowance must be provided for.
RECOMMENDATION :
Based on the above analysis , staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant PD
special exception use approval and approval of the requested waivers with the following conditions :
1 . That the 25 ' perimeter PD setback be established along the northern border of Lot 1
or that, prior to or via the final plat, the parcel immediately north of Lot 1 be
encumbered by the same restrictive covenants and under the same homeowner ' s
association as the PD project area per PD ordinance section 915 . 16( 1 )(A) .
2 . That docks and observation piers be prohibited along the site ' s lagoon frontage with
an allowance for such structures parallel to the canal frontage of each lot . Such
prohibition shall be referenced on the final plat .
3 . That prior to or via the final plat, formal access rights for adjacent property owners
shall be established from the southern boundary of the site to 95 " Street .
4 . That prior to issuance of a certificate of completion for the project, 52nd Court shall
be paved and a sidewalk installed from the southern boundary of the site to 95 "
S treet.

Director Boling responded to Commissioners ' questions concerning stormwater
management , size of buildings , setbacks , and areas of green space . He offered comparisons
of what could be built in multi - family zoning districts with an RM - 6 site plan versus what
is permitted under a PD . In addition , he specified that extra buffering would be required
with the PD . He pointed out that any redevelopment of this site would probably be of benefit
whether it were a PD or a site plan project .
Community Development Director Robert M . Keating commented that other benefits .
such as the replacement of the septic tanks by public sewer system and elimination of
setback non - conformities and mobile homes , would also result .
Commissioner Adams inquired whether the developer intends to build rental or
condominium units .
Director Boling advised that the developer would have to address that question , since
the application does not cover that . He did mention that the developer ' s current plan could
change over the life of the project .
Chairman Ginn questioned the wisdom of approving structures on stilts .
The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in
this matter .
Ira Hatch . a local attorney representing homeowners Durrance and the River Boat
Club Subdivisions , all single- family homes , presented for the record a copy of a petition
signed by 42 River Boat Club homeowners requesting the Board reject the application ,
reverse the ruling of the Planning and Zoning Commission , and maintain the RM- 6 zoning
for the subject property . ( The copy of the petition has been placed on file with the backup
for the meeting in the office of the Clerk to the Board . ) His clients favored redevelopment
of the property but had concerns that standing water under the stilt homes would attract

unwanted wildlife including snakes . The \ , believed a separate stormwater management area
would be at least controllable . Ile felt a dangerous precedent could be set if they alloxythe
same land to be used for storinwater management and building purposes which could result
in a significant increase in density throughout the county . He objected to the density of the
property pointing out specific areas on a site map where the canal was used to increase that
density . He pointed out that the County had riparian rights in the River Boat Club under an
agreement . He opined it was inappropriate to use the canal for purposes of calculating
density requirements . He cited the Brickell case and the Coastal Petroleum case in the
Florida Supreme Court which address these issues . If the canal was navigable in 1845 , then
it would be considered navigable waters and title to the underlying land would belong to the
State of Florida ( Trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund ) and not to the developers . He
felt that this was , at least , an issue . Finally . it was represented that there are 12 units now
on the property and there are currently only 9 electrical meters . Also , several of the units are
hotel units , not single - family or multi - family residences . He felt the reduction of density
argument was flawed , because he thought this proposal would increase the density , traffic ,
and the burden on the environmentally sensitive neighborhood . He hoped the developer
would come back with a site plan to put a nice development on the property with separate
on - site stormwater management . He urged the Board to not allow this over- use of the
property ; it overburdens the land and the stormwater management system is completely
unacceptable . He also pointed out that the developer was claiming ownership of submerged
lands , but the title to property adjusts with the high water line . The submerged land should
be deducted from their calculations and the buffer setbacks should be measured from the
ordinary high water line of the river .
Randy Mosby , Mosby and Associates , responded to concerns of the Commissioners
and comments of Mr . Hatch . He felt the big issue of stormwater management resulted from
January 9 , 2001

a lack of understanding how the system works . He explained that this property is in a flood
plain . This system has been used in both Brevard and St . Lucie Counties . The structures
are elevated by piles above the flood plain requirements . Fill requirements are minimized .
The key to the success of this system is recovery ; that is how quickly you can recover from
a storm event and get rid of the water . There are no ponds or ponding waters under a
structure . This has been submitted to St . Johns River Water Management District and they
have no significant problem with the concept . The SJRWMD ' s final comments are presently
in his office awaiting the outcome of this public hearing to finalize their land development
permit ( LDP ) drawings for submission to the County ' s Engineering Department . He pointed
out that it is not unusual to have master electrical meters and that the number of meters does
not necessarily correlate with the number of people presently living there . He advised that
the lots and the structures on the lots will be sold , this will not be set up like a multi - family
complex . He still has regulatory agents ' requirements to satisfy as well as working with the
County ' s Engineering Department , which is probably now more detailed than SJRWMD .
Those permit applications cannot be submitted until they know they have an approved PD .
Commissioner Adams requested the width measurements on the lots , and Mr . Mosby
oo
responded that Lot 1 is 45 . 32 ' ; Lot 2 is 50 ' : Lot 3 at the western edge is 58 . 6 ' and eastern
edge is 49 ' ; Lot 4 is 57 ' at the western edge and 49 ' at the eastern edge ; Lot 5 is 49 ' at
the
eastern and 57 ' at the western edge ; Lot 6 is 74 ' at the eastern edge and 118 ' at the western
edge . He explained that the canal width at 52 " Court varies from 39 to roughly 42 feet .
Responding to Chairman Ginn ' s question , Mr . Mosby advised that the width of
property froin the edge of the roadway to the canal is roughly about 10 feet .
Vice Chairman Stanbridge inquired which agencies still require permitting , and Mr .
Mosby responded the Department of Environmental Protection , SJRWMD , and the County .
He then advised of the SJRWMD comments to which they will respond as soon as they

submit their LDP drawings to Engineerin .Y .
Jack Large . 5628 Cypress Creek Drive . Grant . addressed Commissioner Adams '
concerns about square footage of the structures because of the narrow lots . He advised that
the two narrower lots were already platted and in existence . The other lots will have
duplexes each approximately 20 feet wide . He stated that a lot of town homes and unique
and spacious designs can result as long as it is done properly . The entire house . including
the garage , will be elevated . The whole structure will be on a bridge - type concept
foundation . Each unit will probably have about 1 , 800 square feet , of two - story air-
conditioned space . The reason for this concept , instead of going to amulti - family
condominium project , is to keep the ambience that exists nearby . A multilevel common wall
condominium project does not fit . They also want to continue with the Key West or
Bermudian look . He mentioned that the house to the south is built on stilts . The objective
has been to blend in . He thought it would be possible to toNvn - home a duplex and sell each
one separately . They have not explored that option yet , but they aim to make these structures
look like single - family homes .
Bob Fowler, 5100 95 " Street , Sebastian , advised lie is the president of the
homeowners ' association of River Boat Club . They look forward to almost anything being
built on the site . Two things bothered him : first was the developers ' lack of sensitivity to the
homeowners . Second , they are asking for a special exception to reduce the setbacks on the
sides of each lot . He told the Planning & Zoning Commission that allowing this PD will
create one more lot and allow 5 - foot side setbacks . There are 10 foot setbacks on all the
other homes in there . He asked the Board to " uphold the letter of the law . ' "
Sheila Halpin owns the lot to the north of the project and resides at 1952 Quay Dock
Road . She understood the developer could put a condominium building there . She had seen
the plans , they are Key West style . She felt the developer ' s proposal would vastly improve

the subject property and she was in favor of it .
It was determined that no one else wished to be heard and the Chairman closed the
public hearing .
Vice Chairman Stanbridge had difficulty envisioning the height of this project , and
Director Boling advised it could be built up 35 feet from the lowest structural point .
Chairman Ginn was concerned about how the garage will look , and Mr . Large
explained that strong foundations would be approximately 3 to 3 - 1 /2 feet above ground with
a concrete floor for the cars . The soil under the structures will be removed and replaced with
sand to provide for better percolation . He advised he had built stilt houses in St . Christopher
Harbor in the 1970 ' s .
Mr. Mosby added that the plan includes mounding up the driveway and the
stormwater retention will be under and around the structure .
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Tippin , SECONDED
by Commissioner Adams for discussion , to approve staff' s
recommendation .
Under discussion , Commissioner Adams believed that a lot of the concerns relate to
the actual site plan because the Board was unable to envision how it will look .
Director Boling advised that another level of scrutiny in the process will be at the land
development permit stage ; the elevation views will be required then . Engineering and
drainage will be reviewed by Public Works later in the process .
Public Works Director James W . Davis felt at this point it is a feasible concept from
his point- of- view . The key is the soil exchange for well - draining soils . Staff and SJRWMD
staff will review this aspect carefully and pay particular attention to a 3 - day storm event

recover' .
Commissioner Adams spoke about the canal on 95 "' being County owned and how the
52 "� Court right - of- way goes to the canal . She decreed the canal is a filthy , mucky mess , and
pointed out that whatever is going into the river now cannot be good . She liked the idea of
the sewers , but asked if there is anv way the County can require some kind of cleanliness in
the canal that we do not have now .
Deputy County Attorney Will Collins could not speak to the cleanliness of the canal ,
but did explain that the River Boat Club lots are entirely north of the right - of- way of 95 "
Street . The canal is actually partially within the width of the right - of- way , that is why the
County has some riparian rights there . In this case , the property lines of these lots extend
beyond the road and into the canal , which was not the case in the River Boat Club , although
on the north side of River Boat there is another canal and he thought some of those lot lines
extend into the northern canal and some people have their docks on the north side and some
have them on the 95 ' Street right- of- way .
Commissioner Macht understood riparian rights were similar to an easement , and
Attorney Collins responded that if you own property up to navigable water, then you have
the right to use it for warfing , viewing , swimming , or whatever you want to do . In the case
of 95 `h Street, the public , by the dedication of the road , actually owns the property adjacent
to the water . We have licensed the River Boat Club to build some docks there in our public
right- of- way . Riparian rights are a property right, but are appurtenant to the property ; they
cannot be sold to someone else , they stay with the property that abuts the water .
Vice Chairman Stanbridge was concerned about the muck in the canal and that
approval of this request would set a precedent . She would hate to see a proliferation of stilt
houses everywhere Mr . Mosby can find good soils .
Director Keating believed it would not set a precedent . He also explained that the
January 9 , 2001
31
B , i 16 71
County has no regulations about a house having to be built on grade and there is no
prohibition to building on pilings . There are houses on pilings in other projects and there
have been many other instances of underground drainage , such as under parking lots . This
IS unusual because drainage will be under structures .
Chairman Ginn was opposed to using area for both requirements , drainage and open
space . She did not see this project as a benefit nor how it fits in the PD regulations . For
these reasons she could not support the motion .
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion
carried 3 - 2 ( Chairman Ginn and Vice Chairman Stanbridge
opposed ) . ( Staff s recommendation with all conditions as set
out in the memorandum . )
Commissioner Adams stated that she expected the Commissionersconcerns to be
addressed in the site planning processing .

SUBJECT : Smigiel Partners XII Limited , Inc. ' s Request for Planned Development (PD )
Special Exception Use Approval for Legend Lakes
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County
Commissioners at its regular meeting of January 9 . 2001 .
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS •
Mosby & Associates , Inc . , on behalf of Smigiel Partners XII Limited, Inc . , has requested planned
development (PD) special exception and preliminary PD plarvplat approval for a three phase single-
family subdivision project to be known as "Legend Lakes " . The site is located west of 43 `" Avenue
between Oslo Road ( 9"' Street SW) and 5 " Street SW, and is a citrus grove site . The applicant is
seeking PD approval to obtain waivers from the minimum internal road right - of-way width and
sidevard setbacks . The project proposes 164 single- family detached homes on individual lots that
meet or exceed the RS -3 zoning district minimum lot width and lot size standards .
• PD Project Process
The process involved in review and approval of this proposal is as follows :
Approval Needed ReviewinuBodv
1 . Conceptual Plan/Special Exception PZC & BCC
2 . Preliminary PD IPZC
3 . Land Development Permit (LDP ) or Waiver Staff
4 . Final PD (plat) BCC
The applicant has requested approval of the first two steps . If the Board of County Commissioners
approves the request , then the applicant ' s next step will be to obtain an LDP or LDP waiver from
public works for the required PD improvements .
• Planning and Zoning Commission Action
At its meeting of December 14 , 2000 , the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to
recommend that the Board approve the special exception request with conditions ( see attachment
January 9 , 2001
33
#4) . Those recommended conditions are incorporated into staff' s recommendation as it appears at
the end of this report . The Planning and Zoning Commission also approved the preliminary PD
plan/plat subject to Board approval of the special exception request .
• Board of County Commissioners Consideration
The Board is now to consider the special exception use request, and is to take action to approve,
approve with conditions, or deny the use request. If the Board approves the special exception
request, then the Planning and Zoning Commission ' s preliminary PD plan/plat approval will become
effective .
ANALYSIS •
1 . Size of PD Area : 79 . 0 acres
Note: The 79 . 0 acre figure includes 0 . 6 acres to be donated to the county for Oslo Road
right-of-way and 2 . 1 acres to be sold to the county for additional Oslo Road right -of- way .
2 . Zoning Classification : RS - 3 , Residential Single-Family (up to 3 units/acre)
3 . Land Use Designation : L - 1 , Low Density Residential ( up to 3 units/acre)
4. Density : Allowed : up to 3 . 0 units/acre
Proposed : 2 . 15 units/ acre
Note: The 2 . 13 units/acre figure is based upon the 76 . 3 acres of project area that will not be
sold to the county as road right-of-way .
5 . Phasing : Three ( 3 ) development phases are proposed as follows :
A . Phase I: 40 . 4 acres , 58 lots at 1 . 4 units acre
Includes the southernmost portion of the
project site, Oslo Road entrance, and entire
stormwater and recreation tract areas .
B . Phase IT 17 . 5 acres , 53 lots at 3 units/acre .
Includes the middle portion of the project site .
C . Phase III: 18 . 4 acres , 53 lots at 2 . 9 units/acre .
— Includes northernmost portion of the project
site and 5 " Street SW entrance .
6. Open Space : Required : 40%
Provided : 40 . 8 %
7. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning :
North : 5 `h Street SW , Proposed Greystone SD , Groves/RS - 3 , PD
South : Oslo Road, Residential , Groves/RS - 3 , A- 1
East : Arbor Trace PD/RS -3
West : Citrus Springs PD/Project PD

8 . Traffic Circulation : As required by the LDRs , a traffic impact analysis was prepared by the
applicant and reviewed by Traffic Engineering . Traffic Engineering ' s review of that analvsis
indicates that a westbound left - tum lane is required at the project ' s 5 " Street SW entrance
in Phase III and that a westbound right - turn lane should be provided at the project ' s Oslo
Road entrance in Phase III . Each of these entrances connects to an internal loop road that
access short cul -de- sacs and individual lots . Both Traffic Engineering and Emergency
Services have approved the traffic circulation plan .
9 . Stormwater Management : A centralized stormwater management system will be developed
using a 16 . 4 acre stormwater management tract to be located in the middle of the project -
Run -off will be directed into the stormwater tract via lot grading , a Miami curb system in the
street, and periodically spaced side lot swales . A Type ` B " stormwater management permit
will be required prior to issuance of a land development permit . Public Works has no
objection to PD plan approval .
10. Utilities : The project will be served by county water and sewer service, and both Utility_
Services and Environmental Health have approved provision of those services .
11 . Waivers : The PD plan proposes no reduction in the RS - 3 minimum lot size or lot width for
any lot . The plan proposes use of a 40' wide road right -of-way with Miami curb system and
parallel 5 ' wide utility easements on either side of the 40' right-of- way in lieu of a standard
50' wide right-of-way. Also, the plan proposes 10' sideyard setbacks rather than the standard
15 ' wide RS - 3 sideyard setbacks . Overall , the proposed project is similar to the recently
approved, adjacent Arbor Trace PD . The referenced waivers are summarized and compared
in the table below :

* The only two waivers requested .
12 . Public Benefits : In return for the two proposed waivers, the County will receive certain
benefits from this project, over and above a conventional subdivision project. These are the
internal pedestrian and recreation area improvements and the east, west, and north perimeter
buffers .
13 . Recreation Area and Pedestrian Improvements : The proposed project satisfies the PD
ordinance recreation area requirements as follows :
Required Recreation Area: 1 . 97 acres
Provided Recreation Area: 2 . 8 acres (includes recreation and playground tracts and
sidewalk area)
The plan proposes three separate recreation and plavground tracts , two at a little over %2 acre
in size each and one at almost 1 acre in size. In addition, a 4 ' wide sidewalk system is
proposed on one side of the loop road and each cul -de - sac , and on both sides of each
entrance. The Oslo Road entrance sidewalks will connect the internal pedestrian system to
the 8 ' wide recreation path that is required and will be provided along the site ' s Oslo Road
frontage .
14. Dedication and Improvements :
Right-of- Wai • Currently, a portion of the site ' s Oslo Road frontage has a right-of-
way width of 50', while the remaining frontage has 30' of existing right-of-way . Due
to the presence of a sub- lateral canal on the south side of Oslo Road, all additional
right -of-way must come from the north side of the road within the subject site . To
bring the Oslo Road right-of-way up to the 60' local road standard, the owner will be
dedicating without compensation 10' of the right-of-way (where 50 ' of right-of-way
exists ) and 30' of right-of-way (where 30' of the right -of-way exists) . To bring the
right-of-way up to the 130' ultimate width for Oslo Road, another 70 ' of right-of-way
is required . This 70' strip is shown on the plans and will be acquired by the county
-of-way dedication is needed or required . Thus ,
through negotiation. No other right
the plans satisfy right-of-way dedication requirements and accommodate future right-
of-way needs .
Paving: Currently, 5 " Street SW is unpaved but is the subject of a developers
agreement for such paving . The Citrus Springs PD, .Arbor Trace PD, and Greystone
subdivision projects are all conditioned upon this paving . Prior to issuance of a
certificate of completion for Phase III of the Legend Lakes project, 5 `d Street SW
must be paved from the 5h Street SW entrance to 43 `d Avenue or 58 " Avenue .
Sidewalks: As required by the PD regulations , an internal sidewalk pedestrian system
is proposed as previously described . Also , an 8 ' wide recreation path is required and
proposed along the site ' s Oslo Road frontage . These internal and external sidewalk
systems will be connected .
Streetlights: Streetlights will be provided at project entrances , intersections , curves ,
and cul -de-sacs as depicted and will be the responsibility of a property owners
association.
Storm water and Recreation Tracts: Stormwater tracts and easements and recreation
tracts will be the responsibility of a property owners association.

15. Concurrency : The applicant has signed a concurrency acknoivledgment agreement which
fulfills the concurrency requirements for site plan approval . The applicant will be required
to apply for and obtain a concurrency certificate prior to building permit issuance .
16 . Environmental Issues : There are no jurisdictional wetlands or native upland vegetative
communities on site . Therefore . no special local environmental requirements apply .
17. Buffers and Setbacks : Around all four project site perimeters , a 25 ' wide PD setback and
buffer is proposed . In addition, landscape tracts are proposed along both sides of each
project entrance. Along the site ' s east and west perimeters , which abut PD project sites , a
Type "C" buffer is proposed . Along the north perimeter, which abuts a sub- lateral canal and
5 `h Street SR' , a Type "D " buffer was originally proposed but has now been upgraded to a
Type "C" buffer based upon a recommendation from the Planrung and Zoning Commission .
Along Oslo Road , a double frontage/Type "D " buffer is the minimum required by the PD
ordinance. However, based upon recommendations from staff and the Planning and Zoning
Commission, the project ' s Oslo Road buffer has now been upgraded to a Type ` B " buffer
with 6 ' opaque feature that will include the use of a landscaped berm . No wooden fencing
will be used as part of this buffer. Such a buffer will be consistent with the landscape berm
provided immediately to the east on the Arbor Trace project site .
Detailed, final landscape plans for these buffers , as well as the recreation and entry landscape
tracts , must be submitted to and approved by planning staff prior to issuance of a land
development permit .
18 . Caribbean Fruit Fly Host Plant: The county Comprehensive Plan requires that Caribbean
fruit fly host plants be prohibited within PDs located in general areas that have active citrus
groves . This project is located in such an area; therefore, the prohibition regulation applies .
The applicant has indicated that he has no objection to creating a restriction that would
prohibit host plants on the subject property. Such restriction must be included in the
project ' s covenants and restrictions , which will be reviewed at the time of final plat
application .
RECOMMENDATION •
Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners Brant PD
special exception use approval and approval of the requested waivers with the following conditions :
I . Caribbean fruit fly host plants are prohibited within the project area.
2 . That prior to issuance of a land development permit, the applicant shall obtain from
planning staff approval of detailed , final landscape plans for the required buffers ,
entry landscape areas , and recreation areas .
a. The Oslo Road buffer shall meet or exceed the standards for a Type "B "
buffer with 6 ' opaque feature and shall not include the use of a wooden fence,
and
b . The northern boundary buffer shall meet or exceed Type "C" buffer
standards .

3 . That prior to or via the final plat, the applicant shall :
a. Dedicate without compensation the 10' and 30' strips of right-of-way required
to bring the Oslo Road right-of-way width up to 60' , and
b . Place restrictions on the property that prohibits the planting of Caribbean fruit

Commissioner Macht noted that there was only one lake in Legend Lakes .
Responding to Vice Chairman Stanbridge and Chairman Ginn , Director Boling
confirmed that portions of this area are in the 100 year flood plain which is why such a big
lake is required for stormwater containment . There will be no aeration in this lake because
it is not a standard requirement in the County ' s regulations . The County no longer has
littoral zone requirements for storrnwater management ponds ; they were changed a few years
ago to parallel St . Johns River Water Management District ' s requirements .
Director Boling then explained the calculations for the open space advising that each
individual lot has at least 40 % open space and then there are green recreational areas . The
reason the overall open space is just above ( 40 . 8 °/x ) the requirement ( 40 % ) is the large
stormwater area tract cannot be used in the calculation for green open space .

Chairman Ginn thought this development was stretching PD Policy 5 . 4 because this
area is presently a citrus grove , and Vice Chairman Stanbridge agreed .
Community Development Director Robert M . Keating pointed out that this matter is
not a PD rezoning request nor is the site located in a PD zoning district . This request is for
a PD special exception . Also , he explained how the developer can plan the project ' s
setbacks a little differently from setbacks required in a standard RS - 3 subdivision .
Director Boling pointed out that this Legend Lakes ' site is different from the adjacent
Arbor Trace project , which had existing tree areas . Legend Lakes was a grove with a little
bit of shared vegetation along the property line with Arbor Trace . The three passive
recreation sites on the plan are approximately '/2 acre and the site in the southeast corner is
approximately 3/ of an acre .
The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in
this matter .
Randy Mosby , Mosby and Associates , specified that this property is in a flood zone ,
which had a major impact on open space requirements . Compensated storage dictated the
size of the "Legend Lake " . The Code does not permit use of all that stormwater/lake area
in calculating any open space . In response to Vice Chairman Stanbridge , he advised that
recreational spaces were maximized in order to meet the County ' s regulations since quite
a bit of land had been given to the lake . He was unsure what the developer planned to have
in those recreational spaces and thought it alight be a good time for the Commissioners to
meet the developer .
Director Boling advised that a gazebo is planned for one area and a playground on the
other two tracts . The two tracts by the entrance are ' ust a little over . 6 acres and the one by
itself is just under one acre . He added that staff had insisted the recreation spaces be a little

bit larger so they lost a few lots from their initial proposal . There is also a pedestrian system
that connects the homes and the recreation areas as well as to sidewalks outside the project .
Vice Chairman Stanbridge stressed that these recreational areas needed to be available
for the recreation of the citizens who live there .
Gary Smigiel , 1020 Lakeside Drive , Lake Worth , Florida, thought that the recreation
spaces should be taken into consideration when the builders begin to build . He was thinking
about gazebos , large shade trees , and playground equipment for the smaller children .
Vice Chairman Stanbridge still believed the recreational amenities were too minimal ,
and Mr . Smigiel thought it was inappropriate to have ball fields or basketball courts . He
lived next to a park where families can picnic , bring their children , and walk after dinner .
When the use gets too intense , it is not really fair to the neighbors .
It was determined that no one else wished to be heard and the Chairman closed the
public hearing .
Vice Chairman Stanbridge reiterated her desire for more open space , doubling the
open space would suit her .
MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Stanbridge ,
SECONDED BY Commissioner Adams , to approve the staff' s
recommendation , adding that the developer double the
recreations areas on the plan .
Under discussion , Commissioner Macht thought it would be fair to ask the developer
just to include the addition of an adjacent lot which might be a little less than doubling .
Vice Chairman Stanbridge declined amending her motion . She felt that their new plan

need not come back to the Board .
Director Keating advised that the developer would lose about 7 or 8 lots in order to
abide by the requirement of the motion .
Chairman Ginn could not support the motion because the plan does not conserve any
natural features ; she thought it should be developed without special exceptions .
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion
carried 4 - 1 ( Chairman Ginn opposed ) .

LABOR CONTRACT — UTILITIES DEPARTMENT
BACKGROUND
In 1993 . the Board awarded a bid to a vendor for an annual labor contract for three one-year periods. The
contract established a fixed fee for the installation of utility construction materials purchased by the Utility
Department. The Board ea-tended the award for an additional three years in 1996 . In 1999 . the vendor
decided to pursue work elsewhere. and notified Purchasing that they would no longer be available to work
for the Countv Utility .
The continuation of a similar type of contract is desirable. in that it has allowed the Utility Department to
meet the demands of utility installation in a timely and cost-effective manner, therefore . a similar contract
was recently put out to bid. The contract will be for a two-year period. The activity thus far is detailed as
follows :

ANALYSIS
The Staff reviewed the five bid packages, and checked the individual items. as well as the subtotals and
totals for each one submitted. The low bid was then tested by applying the unit prices from each bidder. to
a small. low-pressure force main project proposed in the City of Sebastian. This is the type of project the
labor contract will typically be used for. ( See attached table) . The costs for labor for the project are given
below for each bidder.

to Mr. French ' s office. as well as to a site development project currently under construction in FL Pierce by
Mr. French. This. along with a positive response from references provided by Mr. French. has resulted in
the following recommendation.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the bid be awarded to G. E. FRENCH , as the lowest most responsive and
responsible bidder meeting the specificauons for Bid No. 3032 : the Labor Contract Agreement. and that the
Chairman execute the same .

SUBJECT : WATER PRODUCTION PUMPING SYSTEM UPGRADE
BACKGROUND
As one of their ptiman functions. the Water Production Division of the Department of Utility Services
operates and maintains the Countv ' s following listed facilities -
South County Reverse Osmosis Plant Site
North County Reverse Osmosis Plant Site
Kings Highway Elevated Storage Tank Site
Gifford Elevated Storage Tank Site
Roseland Elevated Storage Tank Site
North Beach Re-Pump Station Site
• Grand Harbor Re-Pump Station Site
Of these seven sites listed above, the South County and North County Reverse Osmosis Water
Production Plant (WTPs) sites are staffed during daily operation . The attached figure nos . 1 and 2 depict
the vicinity_ map of the County water production & storage facilities and the existing & proposed logic
diagrams . The Gifford elevated water storage tank site and the Kings Highway elevated water tank site are
each monitored remotely by a separate Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition ( SCADA) System from
the South County Reverse Osmosis plant site . The North Beach Re-pump station site is monitored and
controlled by a separate SCADA system from the North County Reverse Osmosis plant site . The Roseland
elevated water storage tank site and the Grand Harbor Re-pump station site are currentiv, unmonitored
since an operational SCADA system is not installed at these facilities . A primary goal of the Utility is the
completion of a single countywide, comprehensive and uniform water production SCADA system . This
system would allow the operational staff to control and monitor each of the seven locations from either of
the two primary water production facilities (North or South RO WTPs ) . To achieve the goal of a single
comprehensive, countvwide water production SCADA system. the County has assembled a team with
representatives from the Computer Services Department, plant operations staff, and utility management .
The Team has been meeting since March 2000 to review to overall planting effort and implement a phasing
plan. The same team will continue to meet monthly to maintain project oversight and quality control .
ANALYSIS
At the present time the SCADA team has identified and prioritized several system upgrades , which
would further facilitate the creation of the single countywide water production and management SCADA
system. The system upgrades are outlined below along with their respective cost estimates .

SUMMARY :
The estunated cost associated with the outline system upgrades is $207 . 700 - It is the desire of the
Department of Utility Services to facilitate the creation of the smele water production and management
SCADA system by the outlined three phases . The overall system concept and the authorization to proceed
with Phase I of the above work plan are requested under this Agenda Item . Subsequent Phases will be
brought before the Board of County Commissioners for acceptance under separate agenda items as the
scope of work and fee schedule for each has been fully developed and verified by the SCADA Team .
At the present time the SCADA Team has completed its development of the Phase I Scope of Work _
Staff has obtained a price quote from ROCHA Controls Inc . in the amount of $ 18- 084 for their portion of
Phase 1 . work ( See Attachment-A) . The County ' s Computer Services Department will be involved in any
computer hardware and / or software upgrades as necessary to link the Utility plant sites to the Counrv ' s
network system . ROCHA Controls has been used previously by the County for software and programming
changes at both water plant sites . ROCHA have also provided initial support / design for the North County
Reverse Osmosis plant re-pump site in 1993/ 1994 along with design and support for the new North Beach
Re-pump Station in 1999/2000 . They have provided design and support for the South Countv Reverse
Osmosis plant upgrade in 1992 and support work at the Grand Harbor Re-pump station. The staff of the
Computer Services Department has reviewed the attached proposal for ROCHA Controls and provides
their endorsement of the scope of work and associated fees .
It is expected that the outline system upgrades will require a minimum of a year to complete .
The proposed SCADA system improvements will reduce the current leased/dedicated telephone lines by
converting to wireless (radio) telemetry communication type equipment thereby allowing the removal of
leased based telephone lines . The deletion of select leased telephone lines will result in a net saving of
approximately $4, 840 per year in operating expense .
BUDGET / FINANCIAL HISTORY :
The Department of Utilities has over the last 5 -years been planting for a countywide SCADA system
to monitor and if necessary control vital infrastructure components such as the Reverse Osmosis Plants .
Miscellaneous projects such as the North RO Plant Construction, South Regional Wastewater Treatment
Facility and the North Beach RO Plant conversion to a Repump Station initially incorporated a part of the
overall SCADA system plan . I If
The construction of the North RO Plant was one of the first integral pieces in the start of a countywide
SCADA system. However, the Board may recall that the contractor for the RO Plant construction was in
excess of 250 days behind schedule and was levied monetary damages as a result of their performance .
The same contractor had also been awarded the contract for the South Regional WWTF Expansion prior to
their downturn in performance. Again, the contractor was behind schedule and was levied monetary
damages as a result of their performance .
On December 7, 1999 the Department of Utilities recommended to the Board of County
Commissioners that SCADA system improvements be deleted from the South regional WWTF contract and
that the funds be reserved for use in implementing SCADA system improvements . The December 7, 1999
Agenda further requested that Staff be authorized to negotiate with the local vendors, suppliers, and
subcontractors affiliated with the project and who were able to perform the required work ( see attachment-
C) .
The Board of County Commissioners has finalized three major construction activities related to the
proposed water production pumping system upgrade. Contained within all three major projects, were
originally designed elements of instrumentation and control technology and can be illustrated as follows :

To : County Commissioners
From . Commissioner Caroline Ginn
Date : December 29 , 2000
Subject : * Florida Association of Counties 2001 Legislative Program
! Final Policy Statement re . Closure G . Pierce Wood
Memorial Hospital
and
* Proposed Legislation Filed by Rep . Lindsay Harrington
Some time ago , the BCC determined that we would oppose the closing of the G . Pierce
Wood Memorial Hospital (GPW ) , and I was appointed to serve on the Facility Utilization
Committee established by the Florida Association of Counties , to plan and prepare the
catchment area for the closure of GPW . There has been little activity to date .
However , final policy statements from the Florida Association of Counties 2001
Legislative program , reveals that they now support investing savings from the
closure of GPW to fund community-based care programs servicing those
counties that fall within the hospital ' s catchment area . ( See attached )
In an E- mail delivered December 19 , 2000 , Joe Anne Hart, Governmental Liaison ,
Florida Association of Counties , attached a mental health bill which has been filed by
Representative Lindsay Harrington ( R-Charlotte ) , which calls for the continued
operation of the G . Pierce Wood Memorial Hospital , among others .
The BCC will need to determine the direction you want to go in this matter: Community-
based care supported by the State , or legislation requiring GPW to remain operational .
I will place this on the BCC ' s January 9th meeting agenda for discussion and direction .
Chairman Ginn asked Jean Kline to speak on this whole issue .
Jean Kline , Indian River County Health Department Administrator, has been involved
with the closure of GPW and its effect on our community for approximately six months . The
Community Health Network has petitioned our local Legislative Delegation to look at the
CHWs concerns and recommendations . The closing of GPW will eliminate 350 beds for the
most severe long- term psychiatric patients ; about 110 will be relocated to South Florida

Psychiatric Hospital ( a privatized state hospital ) . Sometimes patients have to wait 2 to 3
months for placement in a hospital eyen with GPW open . Occasionally someone who meets
the criteria has had to wait as long as 6 months . Those local individuals needing assistance
will require full services in order to maintain a level of performance and integration into our
community . The Department of Children and Families has formed FACT (Florida Assertive
Community Treatment) teams to work with the most severe psychiatric disorders in order to
maintain those patients in an integrated community environment . Funding has been
proposed to add a short - term ( 3 - 6 month stays ) treatment center , however, supervised
apartment placement , assurance of correct levels of medication , employment opportunities ,
and assurance that patients who have been placed do not lose the benefits they need in order
to maintain stability are problems still requiring action and funding . Many issues are coming
forward due to the closure of GPW which is a fait accompli . Numerous phone callers have
supported the least restrictive environment . How we deal with these issues community - wide
will have impact on all the services . It will require our close attention and continued
;gl
monitoring .
Chairman Ginn advised that the Florida Association of Counties (FACo) now supports
money going back into the community to create a less restrictive setting . Legislation will be
introduced by Representative Harrington of Charlotte County to keep GPW open . This
causes a policy dilemma . The Board has wanted the hospital kept open , but others tell us it
will be closed regardless of our support . She felt the Board needed to ensure that money
comes to the local community to provide care for these patients .
Commissioner Adams thought the Board has seen this evolve since the original
notification of this closure , the immediate reaction was to try to keep it open due to concern
about not having a place to send our constituents who need that type of treatment . All the
counties responded and Chairman Ginn was asked to serve on a committee for that purpose .

As discussions continued , it became very apparent GPW will close . A new effort has been
launched to try to get funding to come back to the community to take care of the people who
may need to wait before being transferred to one of the other hospitals . The problem is those
other hospitals are far away . She understood that we are now trying to maintain services
somehow locally . It seems to be logical to bring the money to the local level rather than try
to fight an uphill battle to keep GPW open without Governor Jeb Bush ' s support .
Vice Chairman Stanbridge advised that FACo ' s Health and Human Resources
E
committee , on which she serves as vice- chairman , spent hours discussing strategy on case
management , funding for it , and how to help the very small counties which do not have
resources if the State does not provide them . She predicted it will be very difficult when
GPW closes and the communities are not prepared . One of the policy statements was to ask
for those funds to be sent to the local governments .
Ms . Kline thought that closing GPW will put an additional burden on an already
k fragile system . She felt that was the reason for the rise in concern . Also , the prior " de -
s
institutionalization " of many large state hospitals has failed . The FACT teams only take care
of 100 of the most severely ill patients . They are already assisting those clients who have
been previously discharged from GPW and those who have a lesser extent of illness , but still
have tremendous needs .
Ms . Kline thought each county was having to address this on their own . Alcohol ,
Drug Abuse and Mental Health is under the Department of Children and Families ; she is
involved at the local level because of the huge involvement in primary care . They see people
with daily needs through the school health programs . They have already begun integrating
some mental health services with the primary care program , which has been very well
utilized . They try to find the resources , which are very limited , for the people who come in
need of help .

After a brief discussion , there was CONSENSUS that the Board send a proclamation
to the Cin° of Fort Pierce and a suggestion that perhaps one of our local antique automobile
enthusiasts might provide a few antique cars for their parade .
( CLERK ' S NOTE : A copy of the proclamation has been filed
with the backup in the office of the Clerk to the Board . )
Mone VICE CHAIRMAN STANBRIDGE - ADDITIONAL
HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION FOR PERSONS OVER 65 WITH LESS
THAN 52041000 ANNUAL INCOME ( " SAVE OUR SENIORS " )
DISCUSSION
The Board reviewed Florida Department of Revenue Property Tax Bulletin PTA - 99 -
06 concerning Additional Homestead Exemption for Persons 65 and Older . ( Filed with the
backup for the meeting in the office of the Clerk to the Board . )
Vice Chairman Stanbridge recounted that in November she sent a memorandum to
Administrator Chandler asking that some research be done on the ramifications of additional
homestead exemption . Staff advised the Commissioners in a memorandum of December 5 `h
that it is very difficult to extract this type of information since there is no way to know how
many persons over 65 would qualify for the additional exemption . If the Board takes any
action , it is essential to know how it would impact the budget . There is a December 1 "
deadline and it will take time to do the research .
Assistant Administrator Baird advised that this was known as the " Save Our Seniors "
exemption for homesteaded households of persons over 65 years of age earning under
$ 20 , 000 as defined as line 33 on IRS Form 1040 . Staff looked at the impact over a year ago
when the law became effective . The law applies only to counties and municipalities , not to
the School Board or any other independent taxing districts . An ordinance is required to

provide an additional homestead exemption of up - to- $ 25 , 000 to resident homeowners who
have legal or equitable title of the real estate . The State attempted to make an estimate over
a year ago but staff felt it was inaccurate . There is no data base with all the information . He
specified that we do not know how many people over 65 have a homestead exemption nor
how many of them have an annual income of $ 20 , 000 or less on line 33 of their 1040 tax
form . These unknown quantities make it very difficult to estimate with any accuracy how
the budget would be affected . He knew of no other county in the state that has been able to
come up with a good estimate . He pointed out that a tax cut given those individuals would
necessitate a redistribution of tax burden to other property owners . He questioned the
findings of Don Wilson of the Office of Economic and Demographic Research ; they
estimated a reduction of revenue for Indian River County of $ 576 , 727 . Mr . Wilson advised
him there was no data base in the state with the necessary factual information . Mr . Baird
also made the point that people might have tax - exempt income and receive a lot more
income than required on line 33 of their 1040 .
Commissioner Macht spoke against the County pursuing it for reasons such as an
opportunity for fraud , the burden on the Property Appraiser and others who have to work
with it; and the unfair burden which would shift to others who do not make $ 20 , 000 a year
and may be raising a family and might not even own their homes .
Chairman Ginn was concerned because it does shift the tax burden to everyone else .
Commissioner Adams felt that if the Legislators had really wanted to help the
counties , they would have required that everyone pays on the first $ 25 , 000 value and all the
exemptions come off over that which would be more fair and equitable . She also believed
the $ 500 disability exemption was far too low ; making it higher was probably more
deserving because of the additional impacts in assisting the disabled .
Vice Chairman Stanbridge explained that her initiative was to see if some sort of data

could be determined to help make an informed decision . There are seniors who do need
relief and are not tnIing to go around the system who could be our next homeless . She
thought there may be other options such as phasing it in as Brevard County has done . She
recalled that when the Board first talked about it , they decided to bring it back for
consideration .
Property Appraiser David Nolte advised that he had been thinking about how to get
reasonable numbers since the additional exemption became law . He suggested that data
gathering might be an excellent project for a high school statistics class because the data base
does not exist . He thought some people would not apply for it because they considered it
welfare and others might fraudulently apply for it .
Commissioner Adams asked if it would be appropriate for Mr . Nolte to include a
questionnaire in the TRIM notice .
Mr . Nolte responded that including a questionnaire with the TRIM notice would be
too late since a decision has to be made prior to December Is' . He understood the LAAC
is supposed to be putting out an information packet for a community- wide mailing, which
might include a sheet for information to build a data base . His office has received many calls
from seniors asking when the additional exemption will take effect . He pointed out , as Mr .
Baird had , there would be a redistribution of the tax burden .
Chairman Ginn disliked the redistribution of the tax because she knew young families
are really struggling .
Vice Chairman Stanbridge reminded them that the decision is not being made today ,
but she felt it was owed to the people to at least have a stab at getting the information .
Mr . Baird advised that Mr . Wilson had estimated the revenue impact on Indian River
County at $ 576 , 727 , which he later admitted was a very rough estimate . The biggest
problem is getting the income tax information . The data on the age of those already having

homestead exemption would be less difficult to obtain .
In response to questions , Mr . Nolte estimated the tax on a $ 50 , 000 home , with
homestead exemption , would be about $ 500 ; about $ 100 to $ 150 of that would be shifted,
depending on whether the municipalities joined in . He has not been notified by any
municipality that has adopted an ordinance granting the additional exemption .
Administrator Chandler recalled , and Mr . Baird agreed , that the $ 576 , 727 estimate
was only for the general fund and did not include the MSTU or Emergency Services District .
Since those both utilize ad valorem taxes they would be included .
Mr . Nolte advised that Brevard County is in the midst of collecting the data ; he
thought they would have the information by August and perhaps we might be able to derive
some inference from their experience , but every county in the state is different .
Chairman Ginn wished to take no action since this item was not published on the
agenda , and Vice Chairman Stanbridge again pointed out they are just asking for information ,
not making any decision .
Mr . Nolte pointed out that the people who have called appear to be very much in need
and very concerned about this tax relief.
Chairman Ginn responded that there are other emergency funding assistance
possibilities for those who need it .
Further discussion ensued after which Chairman Ginn understood there was
CONSENSUS that staff come back with further information so the public would be aware .
Items added to the agenda after it has been published are supposed to be emergency items .
Vice Chairman Stanbridge questioned this , asking if other items added to this agenda
were emergency items .
Chairman Ginn responded that the Board has not kept this strictly , but that is the way
it is supposed to be , so that the public is informed .
