NO. 2003-099
Community Development Director Robert Keating reviewed the backup and
reminded the Board that action was deferred the last time this matter came bei ore them. He
then reviewed the major changes made to the document. Both staff and t e Task Force
recommend approval of the proposed plans.
Chairman Macht advised of cards received from Roseland homeown: rs as well as
a letter from Friends of St. Sebastian River. (Additional backup)
Holly Dill, 11675 Roseland Road, president of the Historic Roseland Committee,

I:�� �.� ;�,
advised that three sweeping changes to the Plan were made at a recent meeting of the Task
Force as a result of comments made at the May 20th meeting: 1) elimination of the more
stringent height limitations; 2) modification of the code enforcement provisions; and 3)
elimination of many direct references to the City of Sebastian. She felt that mu h of the fuel
for the opposition has been eliminated. She believed there to be a great deal • f support for
the Plan. She asked for the Board's approval and turned in three more cards she had Just
received. (Added to the backup in the Office of the Clerk to the Board.)
Cy Carlson, chairman of the Roseland Task Force, read a letter fro RE/MAX
realtor, Ronnie Preuss, in support of both Plans. Ms. Carlson urged the Boa d to vote in
favor of the Plans and commented on the County's "wonderful" staff.
Barbara Banfield, 7405 129' Street, thanked those who spoke out aga nst the Plan
because it resulted in a much better Plan.
Joan Reed, 12875 Bay Street, reminded everyone that the operativ words are
"neighborhood plan". She believed it is good for the neighborhood she has li ed in since
she was 11 years old.
Constance Spates, who owns two properties in Roseland speculated that the next
corridor plan will be for Oslo Road. She opposed prohibition of businesses on Roseland
Road. She noted the discussions about traffic on 129th Street have not mentioned traffic to
Spaulding's and Mr. Kirrie's new plastic mold business will probably not gen rate much
more traffic. She thought the Plan is unnecessary.
Arnold Morgan, 7850 120 Street, recounted the meeting at the Roseland Firehouse.
He asked if any Commissioners have listened to the tape of that meeting; if th y had they
would know the people of Roseland do not want this Plan.
Fred Mensing, 7580 120 Street, reiterated the question of w ether the
Commissioners had listened to the tape of that meeting. He opposed the Corridor Plan

what happens when unforeseen growth is not gently planned.
Tom Spalding, 7890 129th Place, had no problem with the Neighborhood Plan, but
felt the Corridor Plan is too restrictive. It will keep business away, thus minimizing a tax
base increase
Christopher Kirrie, 12855 79th Avenue, opposed this Plan. He believed most
residents do not want the Plan. Roseland should be left alone.
Don Perry, 7930 129th Street, believed Roseland needs something to protect the
individual homeowners. He did not want their residential area turned into an industrial area.

MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams,
SECONDED by Commissioner Neuberger to approve both the
Neighborhood and Corridor Plans as presented today (and
sunset the Task Force [see clarification below]).
Under discussion, Vice Chairman Ginn advised there was a letter from Timothy
Glover which had just come in that morning concerning Action 3.4 on page 35 of the
backup. She suggested they could tweak that page a little bit by adding after ... "procedure
for notification" ... "as soon as this information becomes available" rather than ... "prior to
final action".... She felt that would solve Mr Glover's problem.
Director Keating advised that change would be okay.
Vice Chairman Ginn advised they received 113 cards and phone call requesting
approval; only 2 sent cards in opposition. The comments heard today were tak n seriously
as well. (CLERK'S NOTE Postcards and a list of the senders has been pla ed with the
backup in the Office of the Clerk to the Board.)
Commissioner Neuberger understood the Plan was patterned after Wabas o's. He did
not go to the meeting at the Firehouse, but he understood what had happened thete. Several
people have been working on this for 2 years and the meetings he attended were all positive,
he heard very little negative input until today. He believed the majority was in favor and he
thought the Plan was beneficial to maintain what is now in Roseland.
Chairman Macht inquired if the motion incorporated sunsetting the Task Force, and
Commissioner Adams responded in the affirmative. Chairman Macht understood this

motion would be a direction for staff to prepare the LDRs which would b considered by
the Board at a public hearing.
Director Keating specified this would go before the Professional Se ices Advisory
Committee, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of County i ommissioners
and residents will have plenty of opportunity to comment.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the motio
carried unanimously. (Approved the Roseland Neighborhoo
Plan and Corridor Plan, directed staff to draft Lan
Development Regulations to implement the Corridor Plan, an
adopted Resolution No. 2003-099 sunsetting the Roselan
Neighborhood Plan Task Force.)

11.A. STAFF FOLLOW-UP REPORT ON EXTENDING 130th
STREET FOR ACCESS TO THE KIRRIE INDUSTRIAL
TRACT AND A STATUS REPORT ON THE
NEGOTIATIONS WITH MR. FRED MENSING
Environmental & Code Enforcement Chief Roland DeBlois presented a progress
report using an aerial of the area. Staff had reported last month on permit ing and cost
issues. They completed their investigation and their summary of results i filed in the
backup. He reviewed the three alternatives under consideration for access to Mr. Kirrie's
property. He stated that staff has met with USF&W and received ver al feedback

a
concerning their procedures. Regardless of which alternative is chosen it would take a
number of months •for the process. From an environmental standpoint, Alternative 1 would
have the least impact. That alternative will take an agreement with Mr. Fred Mensing on
which County Attorney Collins is negotiating and making progress. Mr. DeB*ois expected
the topographical surveys would be available in next the few weeks. That su ey is the first
step necessary in designing a road.
Chairman Macht and Vice Chairman Ginn preferred Alternative 1.
County Attorney Collins advised that his negotiations with Mr Mensini, are coming
together. He outlined the items involved in the proposed settlement with Mr. ensing. He
expected to be able to present a draft to the Board at their next meeting.
Discussion ensued and there was an understanding that County Attorney Collins
would bring a draft agreement to their next meeting.
Commissioner Adams thought staff should continue tracking the other two
alternatives.
Commissioner Lowther agreed with Commissioner Adams to continue efforts on
Alternatives 2 and 3.
Vice Chairman Ginn expressed concern for costs on Alternatives 2 and 3.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Lowther, the Board unanimously agreed to
continue tracking all 3 Alternatives and not give up any position
or strategy.
Fred Mensing suggested the Commissioners need to remember they a e facing a
Thursday deadline because of a court case (Clerk's Note: A case his wife planne to file in
Federal Court). He specified that County Attorney Collins was the best neg tiator the

County has had in years; if he had a hand in this 2 years ago, the matter would have been
solved then. He estimated they were 99% close to agreement. He thought economically
Alternative 1 is best for the County. He advised his preferences on the building of the road
to give Mr. Kerrie access to his property and mentioned other contingencies the Board
should keep in mind.
Chairman Macht called a brief recess at 10:19 a.m. The
meeting was reconvened at 10:28 a.m.

13.A. CHAIRMAN MACHT - COMMENTS ON PRESS JOURNAL
ARTICLE WITH RESPECT TO CONCERNS ABOUT
DEVELOPMENT OUTSIDE OF THE URBAN SERVICE
AREA
Chairman Macht noted a thoughtful opinion expressed by the editor in this morning's
Press Journal regarding St. Lucie County's problems due to breaching their urban service
area (USA). He thought we should be planning now for how development is going to occur.
He recommended staff attend the upcoming discussions to take place on September 23rd
Vice Chairman Ginn supported Chairman Macht's comments. She planned to attend
the meeting and urged her colleagues to attend. She noted that concern has been raised at
the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council on this issue. She suggested possibly getting

additional assistance regarding the Burt Harris Act and the Rural Lands Stewardship Act.
Chairman Macht commented that the Burt Harris Act has tied their hands, but perhaps
they could find a way to amend the Comprehensive Plan and turned to County Attorney
Collins for his input.
County Attorney Collins cautioned that even a Comprehensive Plan amendment may
run afoul of Burt Harris. It may be easier to work under the existing Plan. He explained a
Supreme Court of Florida ruling which said the maximum number shown on the map is not
an immediate entitlement.
Commissioner Lowther commented on a discussion at the TCRPC, el cted officials
in St. Lucie County are having a hard time dealing with the big boom in Port t. Lucie. He
pointed out that our south county is growing rapidly and appears to be heading in the same
direction. He agreed the Board needs some way of dealing with it.
Chairman Macht agreed it is time to get educated on what control the Board does
have and hoped for consensus to get involved and get staff involved.
Commissioner Adams emphasized the need to talk with the lawmakers and staff in
St. Lucie County. She also stressed the need to acquire knowledge about
County services that will come with the new development. She noted there
software that can predict future build out and other information when various
input. She believed our staff is up on all the regulations because they attend r.
keep current on the information. She pointed out that most of the developmen
the Board are not for the maximum allowable. Commissioner Adams comme

MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Ginn, SECONDED
BY Commissioner Lowther, to send staff to be part of the
upcoming discussions.
Chairman Macht believed the Commissioners need to be involved in it, too.
Commissioner Adams suggested we also need to be alert as to development and other
happenings in Brevard County.
Vice Chairman Ginn suggested getting Central Florida's Regional Planning Council's
minutes and adding them to the Board's reading file
Chairman Macht was concerned that perhaps the Commissioners are pushing staff
beyond their capacity. If so, the Commissioners need to hear from them.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion
carried unanimously. (Approved staff attendance at upcoming
meeting.)
