Land Use Amendment: Ordinance No. 0-03-20
December 19, 2003
• Page 2
Summary: The Coy A. Clark Company is requesting a large-scale land use map amendment for a
56+/- acre tract of land situated along Powerline Road north of Sebastian Elementary School and
south of Main Street adjacent to Sebastian Highlands Unit 1. The current land use designation for
this parcel of land is L-2 (Residential 6units/acre (Indian River County)), while the current zoning
is A-1 (Agricultural 1 unit/acre). The Coy A. Clark Company is requesting annexation of said
parcel with a land use of LDR (Low Density 5 units/acre) and corresponding zoning of PUD -R
(Planned Unit Development — Residential). The property is currently undeveloped, undisturbed
land proposed for development of 195 single-family residential homes, for a density of 3.47
units/acre, well below the 5 units/acre permitted under the LD designation or the 6 units/acre
currently permitted within the existing L-2 (County) designation. The proposed project also
includes improving Powerline Road from the subdivisions western access point north
approximately 570'+/- to the north property boundary. Pelican Isles lies immediately north, and
said project will include improvements to Powerline from Main Street south to the Ashbury
Subdivision. In addition, the primary subdivision access point will be via the proposed extension of
South Wimbrow from Sebastian Boulevard on a northwesterly direction to the southeast corner of
Ashbury.
Section 9J -11.006(1)(a) 4. The city anticipates adopting this Ordinance in March of 2004.
• Section 9J -11.006(1)(a) 5. The proposed amendment is not applicable to an area of critical State
concern.
Section 9J -11.006(1)(a) 6. N/A

•
1. City's adopted Future Land Use Map and a drawing indicating the surrounding
street and thoroughfare network.
Section 9J -11.006(1)(a) 10(b) 2. The aforementioned map also indicates the present land use
designation of the subject property and the abutting properties
Future Land Use designation.
Section 9J -11.006(1)(a) 10(b) 3. The subject property is approximately 56 acres, more or less.
Section 9J -11.006(1)(a) 10(b) 4. The following provides for the availability of demand on the
following public facilities:
1. Sanitary Sewer. Currently, sanitary sewer service
is available immediately to the south of the subject
property along Sebastian Boulevard. Additionally,
the City and Indian River County Utility Services
will require that the developer extend the existing
sewer line to service the proposed development.
2. Solid Waste. Disposal of all solid waste may occur
either through County -City interlocal recycling
program, as adopted by the City through passage of
Resolution No. R-92-05, on January 8, 1992, or at
County landfill sites, usage established on May 10,
1989, through the solid waste agreement,
Resolution No. R-89-25. This is consistent with the
City's adopted plan.
3. Potable Water. Currently, potable water service is
available immediately to the south of the subject
property along Sebastian Boulevard. Additionally,
the City and Indian River County Utility Services
will require that the developer extend the existing
water line to service the proposed development.

4. Traffic Circulation. The subject property is
located in north central Sebastian and is currently an
unincorporated parcel with immediate access to one
arterial roadway (County Road 512). The primary
subdivision access point will be via the proposed
extension of South Wimbrow from Sebastian
Boulevard on a northwesterly direction to the
southeast comer of Ashbury. The proposed project
also includes improving Powerline Road from the
subdivisions western access point north
approximately 570'+/- to the north property
boundary. Pelican Isles lies immediately north, and
said project will include improvements to Powerline
from Main Street south to the Ashbury Subdivision.
Staff has determined that the proposed land use
change from L-2 (6 units/acre) to LDR (5
units/acre), and being 56 acres, will not adversely
impact the current level of service along either
• roadway network. However, the City of Sebastian
has sufficient land development regulations,
including concurrency management requirements,
and subdivision review procedures in place to
ensure the proposed development will not
negatively impact the roadway network and will
provide sufficient roadway improvements so as to
assure acceptable levels of service are maintained
on the City/County thoroughfare network.
5. Recreation. The proposed will not adversely
impact the existing recreational facilities owned by
the City of Sebastian. Residents of Ashbury
Subdivision will be required to contribute to the
City's recreation impact fee program, just as all City
residents are, in order to facilitate park development
consistent with local and state guidelines for
providing parks/recreation areas for the populace.
Section 9J -11.006(1)(a) 10(c). Three (3) copies of staff, Local Planning Agency, and local
governing body recommendations are being provided for your review.

h. Intergovernmental Coordination: Consistent
10. Conformance with Code of Ordinances: Consistent
11. Changed Conditions: Undeveloped, undisturbed land, with proposed change to single-
family residential.
12. Land Use Compatibility: The adjacent property to the north and east is designated
for medium density residential, while the property to the west is designated low density
residential. Sebastian Elementary lies immediately south of the proposed project.
• The proposed land use modification will reduce the number of units permitted and
therefore create a positive impact on the immediate area. Additionally, the infrastructure
improvements included as an element of the proposed project will enhance the viability
and sustainability of the area.
13. Adequate Public Facilities: Provided — public utilities (water, wastewater) will be
incorporated within the development of the proposed PUD, and multiple stormwater lakes
will be included within the subdivision.
14. Natural Environment: The proposed PUD will contain the requisite open space as
required by land development regulations. In addition, Ashbury includes a total of 16.37
acres of wetlands/upland preserves.
15. Economic Effect: provided — The property is currently not within the corporate limits of
the City of Sebastian. Annexation will provide an additional 56 +/- acres of land area with
an additional 195 residential units, which in tum creates an expanded tax base for the City
of Sebastian.
16. Orderly Development: The proposed land use change is consistent with the
comprehensive plan and the proposed land use change provides for orderly
development given the location of the site adjacent to residential/commercial property
and availability of sufficient public facilities and access.
017. Public Interest: The City of Sebastian Comprehensive Plan outlines the necessity to
incorporate and/or annex enclave parcels within incorporated cities. As the property is an
3
• enclave, and it is adjacent to the urban service area, it would be prudent of the City to
annex the property consistent with the goals and objectives outlined within the
comprehensive plan. The proposed use is consistent with land use objectives and will not
adversely impact the surrounding neighborhood based on design criteria outlined within
the subdivisions conceptual development plan. Therefore, staff opines that the proposed
annexation/land use change is not in conflict with public interest.
•
•
18. Other Matters: The requested land use change and accompanying rezoning will
provide consistency with the future land use map of the comprehensive plan.
Annexation of the parcels will. demonstrate compliance with goals and objectives as
outlined in the comprehensive plan for annexation of enclaves adjacent to the urban
service area.
The proposed land use change will create a slightly greater impact on water,
wastewater, drainage and solid waste facilities.
19. Analysis: The Coy A. Clark Company is requesting a large-scale land use map
amendment for a 56+/- acre tract of land situated along Powerline Road north of
Sebastian Elementary School and south of Main Street adjacent to Sebastian Highlands
Unit 1. The current land use designation for this parcel of land is L-2 (Residential
6units/acre (County)), while the current zoning is A-1 (Agricultural 1 unit/acre). The Coy A.
Clark Company is requesting annexation of said parcel with a land use of LDR (Low
Density 5 units/acre) and corresponding zoning of PUD -R (Planned Unit Development —
Residential). The property is currently undeveloped, undisturbed land proposed for
development of 195 single-family residential homes, for a density of 3.47 units/acre, well
below the 5 units/acre permitted under the LDR designation or the 6 units/acre currently
permitted within the existing L-2 (County) designation. The proposed project also includes
improving Powerline Road from the subdivisions western access point north approximately
570'+/- to the north property boundary. Pelican Isles lies immediately north, and said
project will include improvements to Powerline from Main Street south to the Ashbury
Subdivision. In addition, the primary subdivision access point will be via the proposed
extension of South Wimbrow from Sebastian Boulevard on a northwesterly direction to the
southeast corner of Ashbury.
20. Conclusion: The requested land use change from L-2 (County) to LDR is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Code and Code of Ordinances.
21. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the requested land use change
with the following condition:
1. The land use change shall be conditioned

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF S-EPTEMBER 18, 2003
Chmn Smith opened -the public hearing and swore in the applicant and staff. Mr. Joseph
MSchulke, Schulke, Bittle & Stoddard LLC, 1140 7"' Court, Vero Beach, Florida presented
the application. This will be a new branch of SunTrust Bank on a parCei that -is part of
the Publix Indian River Subdivision Plat and water, sewer, traffic and drainage was
accommodated for in that plat. Mr. Hass added the site plan is for a 3,500 square -foot
banking facility with drive-thru. All the site infrastructure improvements were included in
the site development of the Publix. Access will be by existing curb cuts. Sufficient
stacking has been provided for the drive-thru facility. The rive conditions that apply for
conditional use are (1) Separate entrances and exits shall be provided and clearly
identified, (2) No more than 2 curb cuts shall be permitted on any single street frontage,
(3) Site plan shall provide for efficient circulation of vehicles on-site, (4) In the CG and
CR district, no drive-thru facility shall be located within 100 feet of a residential district,
(5) All side and rear yards abutting or adjacent to residential districts or uses shall be
screened. Staff recommends approval of both the site plan and conditional use.
•
Mr. Mahoney was concerned about queuing of traffic. Mr. Allocco asked if the water
retention was already sized and Mr. Schuike said it was. Mr. Blessing wanted to know if
SunTrust could request additional curb cuts in the future and Mr. Stringer said two are.
allowed for the whole Publix development and they are already in place.
No one from the public spoke. Chmn Smith closed the hearing.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF -REGULAR MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 18, 2003
The developers have certain rights but we are taking into consideration lot sizes, side
Gosetbacks and density. One reason the developers are looking to annex into the city is
for commercial growth, which is needed in our city.
Chmn Smith added that the City of Sebastian has home rule, which means the city
makes its own decisions. The school system is a county system and their jurisdiction.
The Growth Management Department is the arbitrator between the developer and the
city.
Chmn Smith opened the public hearing. Mr. Joseph Schulke, who was previously sworn
in, presented the application as an annexation of a 56 acre piece of property with a land
use of L-2, six units per acre supporting single and multi -family zoning. The proposal is
for a planned development. Mr. Schulke passed out similar exhibits to the
commissioners that he gave to members of the public and introduced his clients, Mr.
Coy Clark and Mr. Jeff Blackstone. The proposal is for 214 homes with increased lot
width and setbacks. Thirty-two percent of the site will be far recreation, preservation and
open spaces. It will have curb roads and sidewalks within the gated community. The
surrounding area to the north is FPL substation and soon to be built Pelican Isle
Apartments at 5.6 units per acre, to the east is Orange Heights a mobile home
community at 4.2 units per acre, to the south is existing general commercial property
and the Sebastian Elementary School, and to the west is Powerline Road. This project
will have 3.47 units per acre. It has private streets, drainage and recreation areas with
private maintenance of these. No added tragic through the Highlands, connect directly to
the main highway. They hired both traffic consultant and environmental impact
consultant. There were no endangered species found on the property and appropriate
permits will be obtained for gopher tortoise relocation.
Mr. Hass added that the three big issues are density, lot sizes and setbacks. All these
issues were addressed through the redesign of the project. Currently the site within the
county is 6 units per acre, the proposal is for low density within Sebastian, which allows
5 units per acre, but the development proposal is presented at 3.47 units per acre.
Mr. Mahoney asked about the size of the rights-of-way and Mr. Hass said there are 40'
rights-of-way with sidewalks on both sides of the street as well as 10' easements along
the rights-of-way. Mr. Mahoney suggested that PUD's use a calculation of 75% of the
zone district requirement. There was discussion regarding open space, recreation areas
and wetlands. Mr. Keough was concerned about the 7' setbacks. Mr. Allocco
commended the layout and presentation but felt there were too many homes for the site.
Ms. Monier suggested the whole point is to negotiate. The general feeling is that the
density is too high and the applicant should consider decreasing the number of homes
by 20 and use 10' setbacks. Mr. Blessing had concerns with the 40' wide road and would
also like to see the density reduced. Mr. Seeley said he visited Collier Club and
Sebastian Lakes to view this type of community. Mr. Smith confirmed with Mr. Hass that
the developer has gone through negotiations with city staff and city council has final
decision. Mr. Stringer added the three units per acre issue is the council saying they are
not going to approve a higher density than the applicant would have had in the county.
The following people spoke:

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 18, 2003
Mr. William Schulke, Sebastian, Florida said he felt that there is only abut 6' of usable
w area within the 10' setback. He also commented that with the sidewalks there would be
more street parking than with swales.
Andrea Coy, 333 Pineapple Street, Sebastian, Florida would like to see a copy of the
environmental impact study, 20' buffer area not enough, and density is too high.
Clive Beckwith, 465 Lighthouse Avenue, Sebastian, Florida liaison officer between the
Sebastian Property Owners Association and city hall and the SPOA is against any
change or decrease in the size of buildable lots from 10,000 square feet.
Bill O'Neil, 321 Tangelo Street, Orange Heights, Sebastian, Florida wanted to know how
close the ends of the streets are and Mr. Hass said 20' setback and 20' buffer.
Andrew Falice, 1045 Foster Road, Sebastian, Florida concerned about the traffic from
Pelican Isle and this project.
Rob Clearbrook, 1041 Foster Road, Sebastian, Florida is against PUD development and
concerned about the wildlife.
George Gribbroek, 1049 Foster Road, Sebastian, Florida familiar with the site for more
than 30 years and concerned about the wildlife and trees.
Mary Ingui, 626 Layport Drive, Sebastian, Florida questioned if the residents of this
development could use city parks but city residents could not use their facilities, would
there be maintenance fees, and concerned abut the visual impact.
Mr. Schulke added they have hired GK Environmental to do an environmental
assessment of the property. He added they are preserving nine acres of upland and
wetland area.
Chmn Smith closed the hearing at 8.58 p.m. and asked Mr. Hass for a summary. He
stated the main objective in reviewing these projects is to determine consistency with the
Comprehensive Development Plan and Land Development Code as well as satisfy the
objectives of the city council. Mr. Stringer advised the commission to vote on each item
independently.

Mr. Stringer then advised the commission to make a motion for another land use
category because if it is.annexed it must have a city land use category. He detailed the
various land use categories.
MOTION by Monier/Blessing
"I would like to reiterate my motion [to recommend to city council] the create a land use
for the Ashbury Subdivision to LDR"
There was discussion about land use and zoning categories. Mr. Stringer advised the
commission if the land were brought in without a land use category established it would
come in at the closest corresponding city land use category. In this case it would be
multi -family because the current county land use allows 6 units per acre and our multi-
family category would be the closest.

Mr. Warren Dill, 1565 U.S. #1, Sebastian, Florida represented the applicants, Mr. Hank
Fischer and Mr. Daniel Spencer. Also present is Mr. Bruce Moia of Mosby & Associates,
Vero Beach, Florida. Mr. Dill described the property location, 115 acres, 150 single
family lots, 85' X 135', 13,000 sq. ft. The lots on the cul-de-sac are almost half acre. The
density is 1.3 units per acre, proposing private streets with 50' right -of way curb and
gutter, and sidewalks on both sides. Poweriine Road will be paved to access this
property. County water and sewer is available, storm water will be kept on site and no
obligation on the city for maintenance of drainage. Land use is compatible with
surrounding area. Mr. Hass added that the property is currently being used as an active
sand mine, which will cease operation this year. In the event that the Poweriine Road
access is not able to occur the alternative access point will be Shakespeare.
Mr. Mahoney was concerned about who would be responsible for paving Powerline
Road and Mr. Hass said it is being negotiated. Mr. Allocco asked if the large cement

5. OVERVIEW BY CITY MANAGER
The City Manager gave a brief overview on the benefits of annexation, the Tischler
annexation report; and advised that, whether or not these properties are annexed, they will
most likely be developed and annexation would give the City the opportunity to control the
development.
6. OVERVIEW BY CITY ATTORNEY
The City Attorney gave a brief advisory on procedures to be followed relative to these land
use amendments and one quasi-judicial rezoning and conceptual plan. He cautioned that,
with the exception of item B, Council should determine only whether the proposed land use
categories are appropriate for the City and not discuss planned development. He said item
B is a zoning matter with quasi-judicial rules and that a decision must be based on facts
presented, not conjecture. He said all land use applications will be forwarded to the State
for review and come back with comments for a scheduled second hearing. He stated that
annexation hearings will also take place after the land use comments come back from the
State, but it would be proper, if Council did not believe it would move forward with
annexation, to make that determination at this time. He also said the reason there are two
hearings on the Ashbury rezoning and conceptual is because Planning and Zoning
• approved it with conditions, that require two hearings of Council to override if it wishes; and
that there is no requirement for a super majority vote.

Joseph Schulke, Schulke, Biddle & Stoddard, LLC, representing the applicant, presented
the application for proposed land use of low density residential; and responded to questions
from Council.
The Growth Management Director presented staff recommendation for approval as
amended since being heard by Planning and Zoning; and responded to questions from
Council.
The following individuals addressed City Council (see CLUP sign-up sheet attacher):
Ruth Sullivan, 1215 Indian River Drive, Sebastian, urged Council to keep Sebastian small
town.
Andrea Coy, 333 Pineapple, Orange Heights, Sebastian, objected to the proposal based on
environmental and conservation issues and requested a comprehensive wildlife study be
conducted.
Sal Neglia, Sebastian, urged Council to keep to 3 units per acre.
Carole Little, 325 Tangelo, Orange Heights, Sebastian, read a Press Joumal Letter to the
Editor written by a Sebastian teen concemed with growth.
• Robert Fowland, Orange Heights, Sebastian and New Hampshire, expressed concern for
growth.
Eugene Wolf, 757 Wimbrow Drive, said these developments are revenue positive only for
developers.
Maryanne Krueger, Sebastian, expressed concem for environmental and groundwater
issues.
Collette Low, agreed with concern that Sebastian is not a small town anymore.
Edeltraud Ostendorf, 333 Pineapple, Orange Heights, Sebastian, suggested govemment
buy the property for a park.
Damian Gilliams, 1623 US Hwy 1, Sebastian, suggested taking 2.4 million supplemental
bond for the new City Hall building and use it to handle the new development coming in and
plan to expand City Hall now instead of 15 years from now. Mayor Barnes asked him to stay
to the subject, however, Mr. Gilliams continued. Mayor Bames asked that Mr. Gilliams leave
the podium and, when he refused, the Mayor asked that he be escorted from the podium.
TAPE I — SIDE 11 (7.00 p.m.)
The Growth Management Director responded to environmental concems noting that these
issues are generally addressed during preliminary development, that all new development
will be connected to Indian River County water and sewer, drainage will be self-contained,
and that turtles are not allowed to be destroyed. He said there are seven govemmental
agencies which receive and review all land use proposals.

The City Attomey explained that school impact issues are being addressed through state
required interlocal agreements between school boards and local governments. He
described the urban service area surrounding the City as set up by Indian River County
which is bordered by CR510 to the west and south, which is why staff states that these
properties will be developed whether or not they are annexed into the City.
City Council discussion continued relative to impacts to the City whether or not this property
is annexed due to the fact that it is an enclave. Council further recommended to citizens to
lobby state legislators to change state laws relative to development, that surrounding land
use is less than 5 units per acre, the fact that growth is inevitable, and the City has an
opportunity to control it and keep densities lower than they might be otherwise.
Debra Poli, 273 Columbus Street, asked how close this project will be to her home and the
City Attorney advised that must be discussed during the next item.
Being no further input, Mayor Bames closed the hearing.
