10.B. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEMS
10.B.1. REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM LINDA HILLMAN REGARDING GOLINE
TRANSIT HUB LOCATION
Linda Hillman, 2315 18th Avenue, Original Town Neighborhood, addressed the Board
with her request to move the GoLine Transit Hub (currently located at 26th Street and 17th
Avenue) away from the Original Town and McAnsh Park neighborhoods. She stated that foot
traffic has increased, disruptive behavior has occurred and the Garden Club members have
expressed safety concerns. Ms. Hillman further objected to the proposed relocation of the Hub
to the northwest corner of the County Administration Building, and disagreed with the County's
rationale for deciding not to lease the City -owned land on 17th Street and locate the hub there.
February 5, 2013 13
,1143 PG 450
Commissioner O'Bryan acknowledged Ms. Hillman's concerns, but surmised that some
of the problems might be caused by persons other than the bus riders.
Vice Chairman Davis agreed with Ms. Hillman that a more suitable location than the
County Administration Building should be found for the hub.
Commissioner Zorc remarked that the GoLine Bus is one of the most efficient operating
systems in the State, and the Hub must be located within certain geographic boundaries for the
drivers to keep to the allotted route times.
(Clerk's Note: Chairman Flescher interjected to announce that the Board would be
adjourning the County Commission meeting at 10:30 a.m. for the Attorney -Client session. The
meeting was reconvened at 11:46 a.m., and Ms. Hillman continued addressing the Board).
Ms. Hillman asked what was wrong with the parcel that the City offered to lease to the
County.
Commissioner Zorc noted that the proposed site would cause delays in some of the
routes, and it is inconvenient to many common destinations, such as the Health Department and
County Administration Building.
Discussion ensued among the Commissioners and Ms. Hillman about the necessity to
have the buses adhere to their schedules, and whether those timeframes are creating safety
concerns.
Chairman Flescher agreed with Commissioner O'Bryan that persons other than the bus
passengers may be causing the problems the Onginal Town and McAnsh Park residents have
noted. He acknowledged that the Administration Building would not be the optimum spot for
the hub, and agreed that other options, although limited, will need to be explored.
43 PG 1451
February 5, 2013 14
Jessica Haley -Durkee declared that conditions in Original Town/McAnsh Park have
deteriorated since the Bus Hub was stationed in the neighborhood, and attributed several
negative incidents to the bus riders. She urged the Board to move the transit hub elsewhere.
Marjorie P. Jackson (Mrs. Robert) agreed with previous speakers that the County
Administration complex is not an appropriate location for the bus hub. She felt that the City
parcel would afford passengers close proximity to businesses and potential jobs, and asked the
Board to plan for a long-term solution.
Billie Wagner, 2225 20th Avenue, related that even though the speed limit near her
residence was changed from 30 to 25 miles per hour, the buses still rush by so fast her windows
rattle. She feels the drivers are speeding because of the allotted times for the routes, and
proposed that the time constraint be removed.
Vice Chairman Davis relayed that interested persons can give further input at this
evening's Transit Development Plan public work$hop at 5:30 p.m. in Building B of the County
Administration Complex.

10.B.2. REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM RON HEEN REGARDING CHANGE TO
VEHICLE HEIGHT RESTRICTION ORDINANCE IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS
Ron Heen, 1046 22nd Avenue addressed the Board with regards to amending County
Code to increase commercial vehicle height allowances in residential areas from nine (9) feet to
ten (10) feet. He provided background on his situation explaining that he received a code
violation notice for parking his business vehicle (a box truck) at home, because the truck is nine
feet, six and one-half inches (9'61/2") tall.
February 5, 2013 15
143 PG 452
Attorney Polackwich, assisted by Community Development Director Bob Keating,
provided background on the Code Enforcement Board's action relative to this case.
Planning Director Stan Boling, through a PowerPoint Presentation (copy on file), showed
slides of Mr Heen's truck and reviewed the Land Development Regulations (LDRs), Chapter
911, which pertains to vehicle height restrictions for trucks and vans. He explained that in 2008,
the 9' height restriction with respect to vans/box trucks was seen as a reasonable limit in
residential zoning districts.
Commissioner O'Bryan requested that staff see whether the newer vans and trucks are
being built over 9' high, so a determination can be made as to whether to amend the LDRs
accordingly.
Director Boling confirmed that: (1) staff would resurvey the vehicle heights and report
back to the Board; and (2) the Code Enforcement Order would be in abeyance until further
analysis is done.
Commissioner Solari advocated keeping this matter highly visible to the public, and
Chairman Flescher affirmed that there would be public hearings should staff propose an LDR
amendment.
The Board CONSENSUS was to direct staff to re-evaluate
the vehicle height restrictions in residential neighborhoods
keeping in mind the standard heights of new vans and box
trucks, and report back to the Board.

(Clerk's Note: This item was heard following Item 10.B.4. and is placed here for
continuity).
Charles Wilson, PO Box 651114, gave a PowerPoint Presentation (on file) and played
an audio interview between Morning Magazine's talk radio host Bob Soos and County
Administrator Joseph Baird; the City Manager of Vero Beach (the City); James O'Connor; and
the City Manager of Fellsmere, Jason Nunemaker. The interview pertained to the City's edict
for the County to relocate the GoLine transit hub and their offer to lease property on 17th Street
for said hub. Mr Wilson disputed the County's decision to forego the City's proffered site
because the City declined the County's request for them to provide the landscape maintenance at
the site. He also spoke in opposition to the proposed relocation of the transit hub to the County
Administration Building parking lot.

10.B.5. REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM WILLIAM (TUCK) FERRELL REGARDING
LETTER OF SUPPORT TO LEGISLATURE FOR SUPPLEMENTAL BEACH SAND
RESTORATION ASSISTANCE
William (Tuck) Ferrell, 12546 North Highway A1A, Beach and Shore Preservation
Advisory Committee Member, and North Beach Civic Association President, spoke about the
importance of the County's beaches and the need to secure additional revenues m order to repair
the areas that were damaged by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. He provided to the Board sample
letters that Brevard County is sending to the State Legislature seeking an appropriation of funds,
and asked if the Board would join the effort to write the legislators in search of funding for
supplemental beach sand restoration. He observed that pooling the Counties' efforts would
probably be the most effective way to approach the State.
Vice Chairman Davis offered to make a Motion for the Chairman to draft correspondence
similar to Brevard County's letter.
Chairman Flescher advised that the Board would not vote on a public speaking request,
but if the Board agrees, the letter will be crafted.
Individual Commissioners expressed support for the letter.
County Administrator Joseph Baird relayed that he has already begun speaking about this
matter with Senator Joe Negron, Representative Debbie Mayfield, and Debbie Flack, President
of the Florida Shore and Beach Preservation Association (FSBPA). He noted that County
Coastal Engineer James Gray also sits on the Board of Directors of FSBPA. Mr. Baird added
that Representative Mayfield is striving to get the County funding, and that beach repair is one of
the County's top legislative priorities for the 2013 Florida Legislative Session.
February 5, 2013 18
OK 143 PC 455
The Board CONSENSUS was to authorize the Chairman
to draft and execute a letter on behalf of the Indian River
County Board of County Commissioners, requesting that
the Florida Legislature grant a special and separate Fiscal
Year 2013-2014 appropriation for beach repair post
Hurricane Sandy, and to place the matter under the
Consent Agenda of the February 12, 2013 Board of
County Commission meeting.

STRUCTURES
Building Division Director Jose Guanch displayed slides and provided background on
eight condemned structures (see pages 109 through 135 of the Agenda Package) that are
proposed for demolition as follows: 4560 32nd Avenue; 2755 47th Place; 3061 44th Road; 4495
31s Avenue, 4480 31st Avenue; 3081 44thRoad, 1365 US Highway P • and 4765 34th Avenue. He
reported that the structures have been deemed detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the
general public, and that following the tear down, a recorded lien will be placed upon the
SK 1143 PG 456
February 5, 2013 19
respective properties to recover demolition costs. Director Guanch thereafter presented staff's
recommendation to demolish all of the structures.
Charles Johnson appeared on behalf of his mother Queen J Ewars, owner of the
structure located at 4765 34th Avenue. He noted that although he had formerly requested and
received from the Board two stays of demolition, he was appealing for additional time to make
the repairs to the property. He added that his contractor anticipated applying for the permit next
week.
(Clerk's Note: Mr. Johnson was accompanied by William Rigby)
Director Guanch, responding to the Board's request for further details, reported that the
Building Department initially posted the property as an unsafe structure on Jan 20, 2012, and the
matter first came before the Board on May 15, 2012.
Deputy County Attorney Bill DeBraal confirmed that the Board granted Mr. Johnson two
prior extensions on May 15, 2012 and September 11, 2012, to allow him time to refurbish the
house.
A bnef discussion ensued, during which the Board determined that Mr. Johnson can be
accorded an additional 30 days to pull his permit.
MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Davis,
SECONDED by Chairman Flescher, to: (1) approve
Resolution 2013-006, amended to remove from the
condemnation list, the property owned by Queen J. Ewars,
located at 4765 34`h Avenue, providing for the demolition
of unsafe structures and the recovery of costs; and (2)
delay the demolition of the property owned by Queen J.
Ewars, located at 4765 34th Avenue (Smith Plaza
February 5, 2013 20
Subdivision), providing for 30 days from February 5, 2013
for the owner's son, Charles Johnson, to pull a building
permit.
Vice Chairman Davis stressed that the Board wants to see some progress on the structure.
Director Guanch confirmed for Commissioner Zorc that the building would have to be
brought into compliance with the current Building Code.
Attorney Polackwich asked the Board if they were ordering the property to be
demolished if the building permit is not pulled within 30 days.
Vice Chairman Davis concurred and asked Mr. Johnson whether he would consent to the
above.
Mr. Johnson agreed and asked whether he could perform the demolition himself, should
his plans fall through.
Director Guanch responded that Mr. Johnson can do the demolition of the structure
himself provided there is no contract or fee involved.
Commissioner Zorc asked whether the Board's only request of Mr Johnson was to apply
for the permit within 30 days, even if it might not be issued within that time parameter.
Commissioner O'Bryan observed that just having Mr. Johnson apply for the building
permit within 30 days doesn't impose any closed end time. He was concerned that Mr. Johnson
could apply for the permit within the 30 days, but due to the amount of design/engineering it
would take to bnng the structure up to code, the rehab process could go on for an undetermined
length of time.
February 5, 2013 21
DK 143PG458
After consulting with staff, the Board decided that 30 days should be enough time for Mr.
Johnson to pull his permit and perform due diligence, with input from an engineer, on the
proposed reconstruction of his mother's property.
Chairman Flescher emphasized that the Board wants Mr. Johnson to pull the permit and
obtain an engineer's input on the viability of the proposed rehabilitation of the subject structure.
MOTION WAS AMENDED by Vice Chairman Davis,
SECONDED by Chairman Flescher, to include the
requirement for Mr Johnson to obtain input from an
engineer regarding his plans to refurbish the subject
property.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and the
AMENDED Motion carried. The Board unanimously
approved: (1) Resolution 2013-006, amended to remove
from the condemnation list, the property owned by Queen
J. Ewars, located at 4765 34th Avenue, providing for the
demolition of unsafe structures and the recovery of costs;
and (2) delaying the demolition of the property owned by
Queen J Ewars, located at 4765 34th Avenue (Smith Plaza

permit and obtain input from an engineer regarding his
plans to refurbish the subject property, with the
understanding that the structure will be demolished if
aforesaid actions do not occur.

Commissioner Zorc noted that the Grand Opening of Congressman Bill Posey's Vero
Beach Office in the County Administration Building (Building A) is on February 19, 2013. He
stated that he had sought and received confirmation from Senator Joe Negron, Senator Thad
Altman, and Secretary of State Kurt Browning that they, too, would find it beneficial to have
office space here, and asked whether there is any location within the Administration Building to
accommodate the state officials.
Individual Board Members expressed their support for Commissioner Zorc's proposal. It
was determined that two possible locations for offices are the law library in the Board of County
Commission office, and the space in the County Administrator's office formerly occupied by
Assistant County Admimstrator Michael Zito. The Board also proposed that the officials stagger
their occupancy times, so they can share one office space.
Vice Chairman Davis suggested that the Commissioner Assistants check with the
officials to ascertain what their needs are.
Administrator Baird affirmed that the County would find space for the officials.
Chairman Flescher advocated mamtaimng the library space for the use of the
Commissioners and staff if possible, and wanted to explore additional options for locating the
proposed office.
