COURT
December 17, 2013 9
Building Official Scott McAdam recapped his memorandum dated November 21, 2013,
providing description, conditions, and analysis on six condemned structures that were found to
be unsafe and detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the public. He recommended that
the Board declare the structures unsafe, order them removed, and approve the proposed
Resolution for the recovery of condemnation and demolition fees. He revealed that a demolition
permit had been pulled on December 11, 2013, for the property located at 8386 63rd Court, and
asked the Board to allow the property to remain on the demolition agenda in case the owner does
not follow through with the demolition.
A brief discussion ensued regarding title work, tax certificates, and the total dollar
amounts of delinquent taxes on the properties.
Deputy County Attorney William DeBraal informed the Board that his office conducts an
ownership and encumbrance report at the beginning of the demolition and condemnation
process, and are duty bound to notify lien holders and those with interest in the property.
Chairman O'Bryan conveyed that Attorney Reingold had been exploring the possibility
of crafting a report for an ordinance that would create a non -ad valorem tax assessment instead
of a lien for these types of activities.
Mr. McAdam responded to Chairman O'Bryan, stating that certified notices of the
potential demolition hearing had been sent to all property owners, that responses pertaining to
the properties had been received, and that notices were posted on the properties.
Althea McKenzie, 2405 16th Avenue, stated that two in every five properties designated
for demolition are located in Gifford, and she voiced her concerns. She did not believe there
were local programs that reach out to people in need. She did not feel that all individuals wanted
their structures torn down because of the impact and permit fees involved in rebuilding. She
listed several options, asked the Board to review the programs that are currently in place to assist
December 17, 2013 10
those who have ties to the properties, investigate what is still needed to make Gifford a healthy
and viable neighborhood, and to ensure long term consistency with specific programs.
Administrator Joseph Baird and Ms. McKenzie discussed the County's Rental Assistance
program.
Attorney Reingold informed the Board that three properties were current on their taxes,
two had tax certificates on them, and one was currently unknown.
Administrator Baird reiterated that since the sites had structures on them, and should the
owner of the structure build a new structure, there would be no impact fees unless they increase
the size.
Vice Chairman Davis and Ms. McKenzie discussed the auctioning process and the
property surplus program.
Julianne Price, Florida Department of Health, thanked staff for taking action on the
condemnations. She informed the Board that the Health Department had conducted a survey on
the Gifford community in 2009, and the number one issue was abandoned housing.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari,
SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher, to: (1) declare
the structures located at 4470 31St Avenue, 4251 31St
Avenue, 4301 28th Avenue, 4333 31St Avenue, 8310 63rd
Court, and 8386 63rd Court, unsafe and a nuisance;
(2) order the buildings demolished with related debris
removed from the property by a private vendor that is
approved through standard bid procedures; (3) give staff
additional time to research whether the property owner of
8386 63rd Court follows through with the demolition
December 17, 2013 11
permit; and (4) approve Resolution 2013-135 providing
for the demolition of unsafe structures and the recovery of
costs.

demolition, realizing there may be future costs.

14.D.1. SEVENSO
Commissioner Solari said that after having read the Seven50 Plan, and the Board's
wisdom of withdrawing from the process, it was apparent that the name should be changed from
Seven50 to a name that accurately reflects the number of counties still participating in the
process. He provided a few highlights from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council's
meeting of December 13, 2013, and suggested that staff formally draft a resolution to the
Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council and the bureaucrats of Seven50 asking them to
change the name.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari,
SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher, directing the
County Attorney to draft a Resolution to the Treasure
Coast Regional Planning Council and the bureaucrats of
Seven50, requesting to change the name Seven50 to a
name that accurately reflects the number of counties still
participating in the process.
A brief discussion ensued as the Board discussed the counties that have withdrawn from
the Seven50 Plan, and the YouTube link for Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino's State
of the County Address.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and by a 4-1
vote (Chairman O'Bryan opposed) the Motion carried.
Attorney Reingold said he would bring the draft Resolution to the Board at the January 7,
2014 Board of County Commission meeting.

14.E. COMMISSIONER TIMZORC
14.E.1. ALL ABOARD FLORIDA AND FLORIDA EAST COAST (FEC) RAILROAD
CROSSINGS
Commissioner Zorc discussed the All Aboard Florida and Florida East Coast (FEC)
railroad crossings in the County as they relate to future roadway plans. He suggested being
proactive now by spending money for engineering that may lead to adding a turn lane at railroad
crossings, widening certain roads, or adding sidewalks, which could all reduce County spending
in the future.
Public Works Director Chris Mora said his staff reviewed a list of 32 FEC crossings, of
which 21 belong to the County. He wanted staff to be able to work with FEC when their
engineers review the plans so some improvements can be made in advance, such as adding fiber
optic cable under the railroad crossings, new water or sewer crossings, sidewalks, or turn lane
improvements, which would likely reduce the County's future spending. He believed that now
was the time to do it, suggested looking at a long term plan of 5 to 15 years, and requested that
the Board support staff in being more proactive.
There was consensus for staff to be more proactive in
moving forward
Bob Johnson, Coral Wind Subdivision, asked the Board to consider using high tech
procedures for addressing emergency situations.
Commissioner Zorc thought staff could share the train schedule and crossings with
Emergency Services for future planning.
Mr. Mensing requested the Board to consider obtaining a train station/stop in Vero
Beach during their negotiations with FEC
