03.063 C. Presentation by Coy A. Clark Company Regarding Annexation &
9-10 Development of Area North of Sebastian Elementary
Coy Clark, with the assistance of Joseph Schulke, made a presentation to
City Council regarding annexation of the property, and responded to
questions from Council regarding impact to the area, need for public input,
density and lot sizes, need for more information, need for impact studies.
The City Manager responded that both the City Council and Planning and
Zoning Commission will have an opportunity to review impacts. Mayor
Barnes asked if there was an intention to make this a PUD and said, in his
opinion, 50 foot wide lots were unacceptable.
The City Attorney advised council that the parcel is an enclave which will
not really impact city services and current county zoning will allow 6
houses per acre which will allow small lots.
D. New City Website
The Finance Director, with the assistance of Barbara Brooke, MIS
Assistant, premiered the new City website.

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 attached):
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 Journal Letter to the
Editor written by a Sebastian teen concerned 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 concern 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 government
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 Barnes 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 concerns 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 governmental
agencies which receive and review all land use proposals.

The City Attorney 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 Barnes closed the hearing.

(The 12/97/03 agenda packet including the transmittal, application, staff report, and
supporting documents are permanent records of the City on file in the Office of the City
Clerk)(A sign up sheet is also included with these minutes)
The City Attorney read Ordinance No. 0-03-21 by title, explained quasi-judicial procedures,
and Mayor Barnes opened the hearing at 7:53 p.m.
No member of City Council had ex -parte communication to disclose.
Joseph Schulke, representing the applicant, and the Growth Management Director, were
sworn in by the City Clerk.
Mr. Schulke submitted Exhibits A -H into the record (see attached to these minutes), and
presented the application for a zoning classification of PUD -R and conceptual development
plan for the 56 acre site. He described the 195 lots, 3.47 units per acre, 20 foot rear, 20 foot
front, and 7'/z side setbacks, minimum total 40 foot setback on the perimeter, 60% open
space, access to CR 512 by extension to Wimbrow and Main Street from Powerline Road.
He addressed environmental and traffic impacts concerns expressed by residents.
Mayor Barnes noted, at this time and for the record, that each City Council member had met
on an individual basis with Mr. Schulke in the past on this proposed development. Other
City Council members concurred.
City Council discussion followed on completing the improvement to Powerline Road to the
south to CR 512 at this time. There was a general feeling of Council that an escrow
account could be established for future improvement and Mr. Shulke agreed.
Mayor Barnes called for those in favor to speak:
Lisanne Monier, Planning and Zoning Commission, was sworn in and noted some of the
conditions imposed by Planning and Zoning have been met in this submittal.
Sal Neglia, Sebastian, asked if a traffic light would be installed at Wimbrow, whether the
public would be allowed in the development, if there were sidewalks to the school, and
recommended improving Powerline now. He was told a light was not warranted, this would
be a gated community, and there were sidewalks.
Joyce Anderson, 225 Columbus Street, asked about planned buffer to Columbus and Mr.
Hill told her there is approximately 75 feet for buffer and he would be in strong favor of
buffering for Columbus residents.

Mayor Barnes asked for those opposed to speak.
Eugene Wolf, 757 Wimbrow Drive, recommended three units per acre.
Maryanne Krueger, 121 Miller Avenue, Sebastian, asked if the City and other agencies go to
the properties to scrutinize them, and was told the City does and other agencies typically do.
Andrea Coy, 333 Pineapple, Orange Heights, Sebastian, was sworn in and presented a
petition with 266 citizen signatures opposing the development and read a prepared
statement. (The petition and prepared statement are attached to these minutes)
Debra Poli said Powerline will endanger children.
Collette Lowe said it will look like row houses.
Mr. Schulke was given an opportunity to respond to citizen concerns at this time.
TAPE 11— SIDE 1(9:18 p.m.)
City Council discussion followed on procedure whereby a second hearing on this ordinance
will be conducted upon receipt of comments from the Department of Community Affairs
(DCA) in approximately three months if Council acts upon it favorably tonight, the developer
putting money in escrow for Powerline Road, that most of Planning and Zoning concerns
have been met, and a request by Mr. McCollum on the status of Roy Road by the next
hearing.
Being no further input, Mayor Barnes closed the hearing.

Coy A. Clark Company for a Proposed 56 Acre PJanned Unit Development Situated
Along Powerline Road North of Sebastian Elementary to be Known as Ashbury
Subdivision (GMD Transmittal 3/17104, 0-04-03, letter, Map, Survey, FS)
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA, PROVIDING FOR THE VOLUNTARY
ANNEXATION OF 56 ACRES, MORE OR LESS, BEING A PART OF SECTION 6, TOWNSHIP 31
SOUTH, RANGE 39 EAST LOCATED SLIGHTLY NORTH OF SEBASTIAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL;
PROVIDING FOR INTERIM LAND USE AND ZONING CLASSIFICATION; PROVIDING FOR
CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read the title, noted that this is the first reading of an annexation, a legislative
decision, noted the company is in the process of a land use change and rezoning which will be
presented at a later time and will be quasi-judicial. He said he has advised in the past that if
Council knows it is going to deny an application that it can do so at the first reading.
The City Attorney further explained that effective date of the ordinance does not reference the
covenant against rezoning that is under consideration because infill properties usually have
greater existing County densities and are a different situation. Previous councils were
concerned with lower densities for annexations at the City's peripheral boundaries because
developers can play the city against the county as to units per acre.
The City Manager noted there is no presentation scheduled on this tonight based on that
information.
The public was advised not to discuss the conceptual plan.
Andrea Coy said she provided a petition with 260 signatures last October and now has a
petition with 500 signatures opposing the annexation and read its title "The following Sebastian
residents are opposed to No. 1) the annexation of the current county land tract north of the
Sebastian Elementary School for any purpose other than conservation of wetlands, and natural
forest and wildlife preservation. No. 2) was related to the conceptual plan so Ms. Coy refrained
from expanding the title. Ms. Coy asked if this can be tabled until Planning and Zoning can
address amendments to density requirements. She asked that the area be considered a
conservation district and said she would be happy to pursue funding to make it such. She said
she had promised the property owner she would find the funds he was seeking for his property.
Joe Shulke said he was excited about the project noting he had received a 5-0 vote in
December on the land use.
Tape 11, Side 1, 9:17 pm
Mayor McCollum reiterated that this was only a first reading. No one else had any other
comments. Mayor McCollum said he did not want the City caught in a million dollar lawsuit and
asked that this be postponed until the Council is presented with the covenant signed by the
developers limiting units per acre.

The Growth Management Director said April 6 1 is the target date for items to come back from
the Department of Community Affairs.
The Growth Management Director said Sebastian Highlands is running about 3.5 to 3.6 per
acre. The City Attorney said 3.5 units per acre is about all you can reasonably get in RS10
because of new stormwater requirements and roads.
Joe Shulke addressed Council stating that he would agree to 3.5 units per acre on this property.
Andrea Coy stated that Mayor Barnes said three units per acre and that is what the public had
been promised.
The Growth Management Director said this particular project is currently six units per acre, and
the three units per acre is in the urban service area around the CR 510 corridor.
The City Attorney said the covenant is not complicated.
Coy Clark encouraged Council to move forward on the first reading of the annexation which will
give sufficient time to put the covenant in place.

judicial hearing at 8:48 p.m.
Disclosure of Ex -Parte Communication
City Council members disclosed ex -parte communications, and the City Clerk read a list of
names of people who had sent e-mails, telephoned, or written objecting to the issue (Exhibit 1).
Swearing In
The City Clerk swore in all who intended to offer expert testimony.
Applicant Presentation:
Joe Schulke, representing applicant Coy Clark, submitted information packets (Exhibit 2) and
presented the request for rezoning and conceptual plan approval.
Side r, Tape It
He responded to previous City Council recommendations for Powerline Road citing a Kimley-
Hom traffic study which shows the subdivision contributing 35 peak hour trips or 6.6% level
service D of the road; at present a traffic light at the intersection of CR512 and Wimbrow Drive
is unwarranted citing input from County Traffic Engineer Christopher Mora that an additional
light will pull down the level of service for CR512; and repetitive housing regulated in deed
restrictions with varying elevations and colors on adjacent properties and planning for two to
four builders for the project. His assistant provided Article VII of the Use Restrictions and
Architectural Control (Exhibit 3).
Staff Presentation of _Findings and Analysis:
The Growth Management Director gave a brief summation of staff findings and said he would
respond to public concerns following their input. He cited existing county density of six units per
acre, and stated that the amenities of the development will be an asset to the community.
The City Attorney stated for the record that staff recommendation as set out in pages 93 through
142 of this City Council agenda packet is staff Exhibit 4.
Council Questions
The applicant responded to questions from City Council regarding buffer, fill, preservation of
trees, forty foot setbacks from the primary residence to the property line, calculations to
determine wetlands acreage, conflicts with EPA and Army Corps of Engineers based on EPA
statement in the DCA report noting there are 16 acres of wetlands on the site, and setting up an
escrow account for paving of 590 feet of Powedine Road.
E

Mayor McCollum noted a conflict in the side setback cited as 7 and 7.5 feet in the conceptual
plan. It was corrected as 7.5 feet, and Mr. McCollum inquired why the correct information was
not provided in the record to City Council. He continued relative to the need for paving
Powedine Road because of the benefit the developer receives for 3 houses per acre.
The Growth Management Director said his staff recommendation to DCA noted there were 16
acres of uplands and wetlands and was apparently misinterpreted by DCA.
Public in Favor
Linda Madigan said this type of layout was more attractive than Sebastian Highlands and
preserves trees.
Public Opposed
The following members of the public opposed the rezoning:
Andrea Coy, 333 Pineapple Street, Sebastian, (sworn) objecting to the project, and exhibited a
Powerpoint presentation (Exhibit 5).
Robin Honis, Indian River Neighborhood Association (IRNA).
Mary Ann Kreuger, Miller Drive, Sebastian asked about Ms. Monier voting since she was a
member of Planning and Zoning
George Gonzalez, IRNA.
Sal Neglia, Sebastian, inquired about the possibility of a land acquisition purchase.
Side li, rape rr
Richard Baker, Pelican Audubon Society, Sebastian, distributed a paper entitled "The
Contribution of Agriculture to Collier County, Florida" (Exhibit B)
Maureen Cummings, Sebastian, representative of School District Planning Committee and
requested ability to take this to the committee to use the land for the school as an
environmental project.
On a MOTION by Mr. Heptinstall, and SECOND by Mr. Barczyk, City Council UNANIMOUSLY
extended the meeting to 11 P.M.
Public Input continued with those opposing:
Brad Cronin, Sebastian commented on the green space in Sebastian Highlands.
Shelley Saline, Easy Street, said there were over 50 people outside who were opposed to the
project.

Greg Conover, Floraland Avenue, Sebastian.
Being no more public input, Mayor McCollum closed the public input portion of the hearing at
10:24 p.m.
Applicant Response
Joe Schulke responded to public comments noting public property rights are also addressed in
the Constitution, a minimum of 20% of the trees will be saved on this property, interior lots have
green areas, noted that both the developments Mrs. Coy showed were being developed on
former citrus groves, and that he had other wooded projects such as Ansley Park in Vero
Beach.
Staff Summ
The Growth Management Director said there are state provisions that encourage cities to annex
enclave parcels, and that staff had taken a hard look at this parcel with an eye to what type of
development it should be. He said this parcel is surrounded by several different types of zoning
and would be a transitional zoning, would be 3.47 units per acre which is far less that what the
County could allow, that the City would have a benefit from development of Powerline Road,
and noted that DCA comments included a question as to why the City was not considering
multi -family housing.
Council Deliberation
Discussion followed regarding the purchase of the land with public funds and the list of
properties to benefit from the upcoming bond referendum.
The Growth Management Director stated 30% open space is required per RS10 lot, that this
type of project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan,
confirmed the property owner does have legal rights, may not be interested in public acquisition
and that process is a very lengthy.
The City Attorney noted that continuation of the meeting with a date certain does not require the
re -advertisement of unfinished agenda items.
Mayor McCollum called a Special Meeting for continuation of all items on this agenda for April
21, 2004 at 7:00 p.m. instead of the previously scheduled historic district workshop, which will
be rescheduled.
The City Attorney said Ms. Monier's membership on Planning and Zoning would not affect her
vote tonight. The Growth Management Director stated that tree surveys are completed before
the next step and penalties for total tree clearing could be enforced by a per -tree or per -lot
basis.
Mr. Schulke responded to concerns about Powerline Road.

The City Attorney read Ordinance No. 0-04-03 by title.
Mr. Hepbnstall requested that the conceptual plan for the Ashbury Subdivision
come back to City Council at the next regular meeting. The City Attorney said
May 12th would be the earliest due to advertising constraints.
ON MOTION by Heptinstall and second by Mr. Coniglio to reconsider conceptual
plan on Ashbury Subdivision, passed 4-1 (McCollum — nay)
Mr. Barczyk said he would be absent on May 12, 2404. Mayor McCollum
announced the hearing will be held on May 12, 2004.
The City Attorney said this will be a rehearing, Council would hold the record of
the first hearing and hear new evidence, and if the vote was 2-2 the vote would
have the same effect as the original vote.
He continued that the annexation was strictly legislative, that this is first reading,
and he recommends if it the consensus of Council not to approve it, it could deny
it at the first reading.
Mayor McCollum asked it the covenant would still reflect 3.47 units per acre, and
the developers stated they would not come back with more than 3.47, and noted
the contract states the owner must sign the covenant and it is yet to be signed.
Mr. Heptinstall said after many hours of research he found several things about
the project that concerned him and should be seen; and he is satisfied with what
Council is doing.
Ms. Monier said the way to control development is to annex it.
Mayor McCollum said comments by a Planning and Zoning member at its last
meeting that City Council should ignore to its constituents was inappropriate and
not in compliance with the City Council's oath to represent people.
