9.Bolo PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM — REQUEST FROM WILLIAM
RIGBY OF CAPITAL SANITATION TO ADDRESS— ISSUES.
CONCERNING THE "MODIFICATION OF NON—E)CLUSIVE.
FRANCHISE AGREEMENT PROGRAM".
Ardra Rigby, the Director of Operations for Capital Sanitation, advised that William
November 4, 2003
17 [.��
Rigby could not be present due to a family emergency. He apprized the Board of his
concerns regarding the County's policy on roll -off and commercial containers, He alleged
that the franchise agreement has been contaminated and, in his opinion, should be voided.
He thought there were inequities as to fees and use of the Landfill. He appreciated the
County's efforts to correct this perceived unfairness, but it seemed that only certain
companies are able to be providers under the County's policy. His company was told they
could not provide containers for collection of over 15 cubic yards, yet other companies are
providing containers for such collections. He asked that the Board provide clarification on
the County's policy as it relates to collection of commercial, as well as construction and
demolition (C & D) debris, so there is no misunderstanding.
Chairman Macht asked staff to send a letter to Mr. Rigby and provide a copy to the
Commissioners.
Utilities Director Erik Olson explained that there are two groups of roll- off container
providers. Waste Management and Treasure Coast Refuse have specific contracts to collect
residential and commercial garbage and haul C & D containers over 15 cubit. yards, The
Board granted other companies the ability to haul containers with less than 15 cubic yards,
He pointed out that staff cannot control roll -off container collections in the incorporated
areas of the county, just in the unincorporated areas. Staff has occasionally found instances
where a roll -off container company comes to the Landfill with a container lerger than 15
cubic yards but is trying to close the door on those companies. He pointed out that it is
important to understand the door is wide open for all small businesses with roll -off
containers of less than 15 cubic yards to collect C & D debris.
Chairman Macht noted that the units from the municipalities cannot be l�.ontrolled at
the collection point but ought to be able to be controlled at the Landfill.
Director Olson advised, in that instance, franchise fees can be charged because they
November 4, 2003
18
do use our roads and rights-of-way, but we cannot preclude them from collecting in the
incorporated areas.
Staff was directed to write a memorandum responding to Mr. Rigby's questions with
a copy to the Commissioners.
Commissioner Neuberger wanted staff to include in their memorandum why the
decision was made to cut-off at 15 cubic yards.

DEMOLITION AND REMOVAL OF UNSAFE STF�UCTURES.
HAROLD & CARRIE McKINNEY AND (RICHARD,
SUTTON, 830 9th STREET SW; FRED & KATHERINE,
WARNER, 890 9th STREET S W (AZZIELEAN BROWNING,
890 8th AVENUE SW - 60 DAYS TO PULL PEI'MIT & 90,
DAYS TO DEMOLISH OR COUNTY DEMOLITION)
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams,
SECONDED BY Commissioner Lowther, to approve staff's
recommendation.
Azzielean Browning advised she was waiting for a decision SHIP financing so she
could remodel her house. She could not understand why it was considered "un.safe" because
no one lives there; she lives at her mother's. If she does not receive the SHIP funds and if
it has to be demolished, she will try to get it torn down because she cannot afford to pay the
County to tear it down.
County Attorney Collins explained that in order to receive consideration for a SHIP
loan she would have to be living in the house.
Community Development Director Robert Keating was unsure as to the exact status
of the SHIP loan, but one of the requirements is that a building inspector determine that
rehabilitation is feasible.
Building Division Director Wayne Russ advised that this structure has been in the
condemnation process since early 2002. According to the field assessme.1t it is not
economically feasible to rehabilitate it. The field ascertainment has been made and proper
r
notices were sent starting in 2002. The appeal process has expired without response from
November 4, 2003
22
the owner. This house has gone through the whole condemnation process with all proper
notifications and, in his professional opinion, it is not feasible to repair it.
Commissioner Adams thought perhaps Ms. Browning was not receiving the
notifications, but Director Russ specified that she was the owner when the ?rocess began
and she was sent the notices.
In response to Ms. Browning's inquiry, Director Keating advised that she could not
put a double -wide mobile home on that lot but could put a modular home there.
Chairman Macht suggested Ms. Browning tear the house down and get a mortgage
to build a new place.
In response to Chairman Macht's inquiry, Emergency Services Director John King
advised it would not be possible to burn it down as a training exercise because the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements actually would cost the property
owner more than demolition.
MOTION WAS AMENDED by Commissioner Adams,
SECONDED by Commissioner Lowther, to approve staff s
recommendation with the exception of the Browning residence
and that Ms. Browning be given 60 days to pull a permit to
demolish the structure and 90 days to have it demolished. If
that is not done, the County will demolish it and lien the
property for costs.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the
amended motion carried unanimously. (Resolution No. 2003-

UPDATE IMPACT FEE SCHEDULE
RECOMMENDATION TO
Vice Chairman Ginn asked that staff be requested to update the 2002 Impact Fee
Schedule. She referred to the current schedule in the backup and pointed out that currently
our only impact fee is for roads as compared to neighboring counties which also charge
impact fees for other services.
There was CONSENSUS to direct staff to update the impact fee schedule and bring
it back for the consideration of the Board of County Commissioners.
13.13.2. VICE CHAIRMAN GINN - LAND ACC UISITION
ADVISORY COMMITTEE (LAAC) -REFERENDUM TOR THE
ENVIRONMENTAL LANDS PROGRAM IN NOVEMBE 2004 TO
INCLUDE THE PURCHASE OR TRANSFER OF DEVELOPMENT
RIGHTS -TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL -
REGIONAL RURAL LANDS SYMPOSIUM -DECEMBER , 2003
Vice Chairman Ginn advised that at LAAC's October 28" meeting, they voted to
respectfully recommend that the Board of County Commissioners go forward with calling
a referendum for the environmental lands program on the November 2004 ballet and include
the purchase or transfer of development rights. She thought this needed to be
"workshopped" because there are so many facets to be addressed.
Commissioner Adams inquired what Vice Chairman Ginn envisioned with the
transfer of development rights.
Vice Chairman Ginn saw a need for more knowledge about th a. transfer of
development rights. She urged her colleagues to attend the Treasure Coast Regional
Planning Council's Regional Rural Lands Symposium on December 5th to get a deeper
November 4, 2003
29 b
understanding of this complicated initiative and hear what has been done in Lancaster
County, Pennsylvania, and in Collier County, Florida.
Community Development Director Robert Keating advised that Roland DeBlois is
the chief staff person for the LAAC. He and Mr. DeBlois both think it is aapropriate for
LAAC to take the lead, hold a workshop, and come back to the Commission with a
comprehensive recommendation on how to proceed.
Chairman Macht agreed that LAAC should meet to structure the steps to be taken and
then come to the Board with a proposal.
Commissioner Neuberger inquired if there is a proposed dollar figure on the purchase
or transfer of development rights.
Environmental & Code Enforcement Chief DeBlois explained that technically the
transfer of development rights is a land use issue which is a bigger Comprehensive Plan
issue. The purchase of development rights is an acquisition issue, which is essentially
buying conservation easements short of fee simple acquisition and which is s :)mething we
actually can do currently with the bond funds. Conditions have been such thai we have not
made a purchase of a conservation easement, but there has been emphasis on that approach
as perhaps being more successful in some of the bigger land acquisition areae.
Commissioner Neuberger asked if it would be the same dollars for both programs.
Mr. DeBlois explained that typically the County has had acquisition -of -property -
target -lists since the program began. The dollars necessary to purchase have Exceeded the
funds available because it is a "willing seller" program. There is currently a list of properties
that totals well over what we would expect to fund through a referendum. It is rally a fiscal
matter of what the whole Commission can support.
Chairman Macht inquired about the status of the Canty property (a.k.a. Indian River
Farms LAAC Site) in south county that really should be acquired to maintain the river edge
November 4, 2003

as a re -charge area.
Director Keating noted that the Canty property is still in the foreclosure process and
we are awaiting the decision of the Court.
Chairman Macht thought it important to acquire that property by whatever means we
can. He was pleased LAAC recommended moving forward for the benefit
environment but also aesthetic relief from the pressures of development.
Discussion ensued on the transfer of development rights. Kudos we
staff and LAAC for their past acquisition expertise and efforts.
Jim Granse, 36 Pine Arbor Lane, noted that the $26 million approve
referendum is still not fully spent. He was opposed to additional millions
referendum. He stated that it is typical of what is going on in this count
understood the sales tax for the next 5 years has already been spent. Then h
90% of the land purchased has State attachments and we cannot make a move

and he also
asserted that
til the State
okays it. The average person in the county has no idea what is being done w lth the money.
Commissioner Neuberger pointed out that last year the LAAC put toget her a brochure
telling what properties had been purchased.
Dr. Richard Baker, LAAC chairman, noted that Mr. Granse (a member of LAAC)
voted against the recommendation along with one other member. He estimated that for our
$26 million we purchased approximately $50 million dollars in property by partnering with
the State. Practically every purchase has been a 1 -to -1 match by the State. He recounted
that Mr. DeBlois made a great presentation at the last meeting about what other counties are
doing. He presented the dollar amounts other counties in Florida are requesting which are
much higher than our $26 million. He stated there is $3 billion dollars available in the
Florida Forever Program that will be spent in the next 10 years. He thought we needed to
move quickly to compete with our neighboring counties and tap into that Stage money. He

pointed out that buying land now is less expensive than it will be later on.
Assistant Administrator Baird clarified that the optional sales tax funds have not yet
been spent. The Board has only proposed how they want to use that money in the next 5
years.
Vice Chairman Ginn brought out that a proposed spending plan has been done every
5 years at a public hearing in order to keep the public informed.
Chairman Macht thought what the LAAC has done and what the bonds have made
possible is very significant. He noted that the western shore of the Indian River Lagoon from
the Vero Beach city limits to the south county line is almost completely under :.ontrol by the
County or other government agencies. No development will occur on those riparian lands
and they comprise an important recharge area. Also, the several miles of shoreline of the
Lost Tree Islands will not pollute the river by run-off.
Vice Chairman Ginn noted that Conservation Land Manager Beth Powell is putting
together a plan for how certain parcels can be used. Many people have not gone out to see
our conservation properties. She will try to get a brochure together to keep the public
informed.

FLORIDA HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (FHSAA) SWIM
MEET AT THE NORTH COUNTY AOUATIC CENTER - 10/30/03-
11/01/03
Commissioner Adams commented on the recent swim meet held at the North County
Aquatic Center. She congratulated Recreation Director Cliff Crawford and Superintendent
of Parks Jim Romanek on their organization of the event and all the others who assisted. It
was incredible at 8 a.m. to see 4,000 people at our beautiful facility. The swimming and
November 4, 2003

diving talent was outstanding. It was a resounding success and they want to came back next
year. She felt that excitement for our pool will evolve as a result of this swim meet.
Vice Chairman Ginn agreed it was very well organized and it was amazing how the
children responded to the instructions of the announcer.
Chairman Macht remarked on the number of kids there with no problems. Our staff
had never before undertaken an event of this magnitude and they were way ahead all the
way.
Assistant Administrator Baird pointed out there were a lot of voluntecrs, too.
Renee Renzi, 340-A Waverly Place, advised she was there, was very impressed and
very proud. She was surprised to learn from the newspaper that parents of the athletes
complained they had to go all the way to Ft. Pierce for motel rooms. She thought there were
plenty of rooms in Vero Beach and Sebastian, more than in Ft. Pierce. She was surprised
to learn from Commissioner Adams and others that all our motels were full.
13.Cel COMMISSIONER ADAMS — BEACH EROSION -.REPORT
Coastal Resource Manager Jonathan C. Gorham advised that we had 3 days of high
winds and rough surf over the weekend. He took a field trip on Monday and found
moderate acute beach erosion at a number of sites around the county's beaches. Beach
widths were reduced a number of feet and berm elevations were down 2-3 feet in some areas
and particularly dramatic at Golden Sands and Treasure Shores Parks. As with all events of
this nature, he expected significant natural recovery in the next few weeks with more
favorable winds and swell directions which will push a lot of that sand back on the upper
beach. Sectors 1 and 2 performed as expected with a few feet loss of berm wide hs and some
3-4 foot storm escarpments in that project area. He displayed photographs of escarpments
November 4, 2003
33
which he advised are temporary in nature. Escarpments have formed and d1wpeared in the
project area since it was constructed. He displayed a photo of Ambersand Beach which
showed a3-4 foot escarpment which he compared to photos of the same area b More the sand
replacement project which showed 6-7 foot escarpments. Ills point was that escarpment
formations are a natural response of the beach to storm events and are not an unusual or
unnatural occurrence. He found no evidence of property damage. The crossover at Golden
Sands was unusable because of a drop-off. Humiston Beach and Sexton Plaza looked pretty
good and there was no undermining of the Boardwalk. Conn Beach looked remarkably well.
Commissioner Lowther had gone to Ambersand Beach and observed there was still
a lot of beach; he thought it truly tremendous as it stood up to a lot of wind and a lot of
waves.
Vice Chairman Ginn commented on the natural occurrence of escarpments.
