with the City engineer's Recommendations. Carried.,
Special Meeting - June 9, 1976
The latest copy of the Agreement between GDC and the City of Sebastian concerning
acceptance of roads and drainage facilities was discussed. Mr. Vocelle explained
the final version of the agreement was in essence, what the council and GDC had
agreed to at the last meeting except the addition of paragraph 3 which states
"The City Engineer will inspect all roads on a unit basis by phases, completing
such inspections within 90 days". Councilman gray voiced an objection to the City
Engineer having to inspect the roads prior to GDC doing any work on them. Mayor
Cragg explained the City Attorney and City Engineer had agreed to this addition
and felt it was a satisfactory agreement to the City. Mayor Cragg said it will
cost the City more money, but it is either that or Thousands of Dollars of the
taxpayer's money will have to be spent to do the things that GDC is going to do
for the City. If GDC goes to court, the City would be in real trouble because the
roads have been ready for acceptance ever since they we. -V put in and the city has
delayed in Wepting them. In response to Councilman Joachim's question "Why
would the City be in trouble?" Mayor Cragg expained the City would have to spend
the money to buy equipment to do the work GDC is going to do for the City.
Vice Mayor Kinard made a motion to accept the revised agreement , as well as the
resolution pertaining to it. Seconded by Councilman Joachim and carried. The
record shows that Councilman Gray voted against the motion.

of the drainage work in Phase 1, Unit 2 (2) dredging of Collier Creek, (3) relocation
of pavement at the intersection of Sloan & Futch Way and (4) Resolution of the

Mr. Vocelle, City Attorney, was asked to give a brief resume of discussion held

Attorney, concerning Road acceptance by the City. Mr. Wayne Allen, General Counsel
for GDC, has been asked to submit GDC;s proposal in writing, (king it availabe
to the council for review prior to the next workshop meeting. Mr. Vocelle explained
that GDC proposes the road acceptance program in four stages. All stages will have
to be approved by the City Engineer and a total of four years on each stage would
elapse before the City assums the maintenance. (1) the first stage would include
units 16rxsx±2xaxdxa-q 2,3,4,5,6 &8 (2) the second stage would be accomplished
during the second year and would include units 9,10,11,& 13 (3) the third stage
will include units 14 &15. (4) The fourth stage would include units 16 & 17
and in this instance Ordinance No. 179 would apply wherein 10%of the lots
would have to have houses on them before the maintenance would be accepted by the
City. Mayor Cragg indicated $20,000 has been set aside in a special fund for the
maintenance of these streets and that the City plans to add to that amount
periodically to prepare for the City's assumption of Maintenance of these streets.
However, there are three stipulations which must be met by GDC: (1) Completion of
drainage in part of Unit 2, (2) Cleaning out of Collier Creek, and (3) correcting
Sloane Street which was put in incorrectly by GDC when it was developed.

Regular meeting - January 13, 1975
Mrs. Ann Dewhurst discussed GDC;s intent to retire bonds amounting to $1,000,000
and asked if they were performance bonds. The city attorney, Mr. Vocelle, stated
they were and explained to Mrs. Dewhurst that this matter was discussed in detail
at the last workshop meeting the city was in the process of getting a composite
of every Corporate Bond or Surety Bond issued and the subdivisions they cover.
A further meeting will be held with the City Engineer at the next workshop meeting.
Mrs. Dewhurst again brought up the subject of accepting certain streets in Sebastian
Highlands and stated Representative Chester Clem has offered to work with the City
Attorney in an effort to resolve this problem. Mr. Clem would like to look over the
records covering conversations with GDC on this matter to determine if legislation
is required. Mr. Vocelle assured Mrs. Dewhurst that the City is studying this
matter and that no streets will be accepted by the council without further study.

Mayor Cragg also advised that the City Engineer will search the Pittsburgh Testing
Receipts on these roads to determine if they were completed before or after
September 1970/
Regular Meeting - 12/9/74
Mayor Cragg referred to GDC's offer to the City to take over the maintenance of
five miles of streets in phases 4 & 5 of Unit #2 in exchange for which GDC would
assume responsibility for replacing approximately 12 drain pipes in existing drive-
ways in Phase I of Unit 2. MayorCragg explained that Unit 2, Phase I, whi4 is an
area of about 4 blocks wide and 6 or 7 blocks deep which never had any ditches
in the rear as most other areas do for drainage, the result being that now with a
dozen houses in there, and never having done anything about drainage except swale
drainage, it does not drain properly. GDC has completed Unit 1 and the City has
accepted those. Now GDC is going to start on Unit 2. However, they want the city
to accept another five miles of streets. At the time this was brought up at the
last council meeting it was thought an agreement could be drawn up to accept GDC's
offer. However, upon advice of the City Attorney, an amendment to the City Ordinance
would be necessary before the city could legally accept these streets.
Mr. Vocelle, City Attorney, explained that the present ordinance on the books would
require a certain percentage of improvements to be done in any one subdivision prior
to accepting the streets. Therefore, it would require an amendment to accept any
streets that do not comply with the terms of the ordinance and that an amendement
would require a public hearing. Mr. Vocelle commented it would probably establish
a dangerous precedence to amend the present ordinance on the acceptance of the
streets in question.
Mayor Cragg responded that it would have to be done by an Ordinance and if it is
the feeling of the City Attorney that if we open it up one time we are subject to
being requested to do other openings, which would violate the City Ordinanace. He
felt, therefore, it would not be in good order to accept this arrangement with GDC.
Mr. Bevin asked the council to withhold any decision until GDC's legal staff had
an opportunity to explore the matter further.
Motion by councilman Flood that another amendment to Ordinance 179 not be permitted.
Seconded by Councilman Kinard. Carried.
Regular Meeting- May 13, 1974
With reference to the street and road drainage ditches in Unit 1 of Sebastian
Highlands, the first three phases have been completed and the rest should be ready

Special Meeting - 10/30/73
Mayor Zimmer brought to the council's attention the fact that the letter from General
Development Corp dated 9/21/ reffered only to the drainage repair program in Unit
#1 and that beforethe plan was accepted, he had requested in wkiting the same type
agreement on Unit #2. GDC's letter of October 25 states that unit 2 is under stud
as soon as this is completed, they will submit the plans for approval, the same as
they had done for unit 1.
