residential lots.

8. Project Description
a. Narrative of proposed action: Mr. Henry A. Fischer is requesting a large
scale land use map amendment for an 115+/- acre tract of land situated along
1
I
Powerline Road south of Barber Street and north of CR 510 adjacent to Sebastian
Highlands Unit 11. The current land use designation for this parcel of land is R
(Residential 1 unit/acre (County)), while the current zoning is A-1 (Agricultural 1
unit/acre). Mr. Fischer is requesting annexation of said parcel with a land use of
LDR (Low Density 5 units/acre) and corresponding zoning of RS -10 (10,000 SF
minimum lot size). The property is home to a former sand mining operation, which
created a large lake on the subject site, and is slated for subdividing to permit
residential units along the perimeter of the lake boundaries. Cross Creek is
proposed to contain 150 single family residential lots with minimum lot size of 95' x
135', thus a proposed density of 1.30 units/acre, well below the 5 units/acre
permitted within the LD category. The proposed project also includes improving
Powerline Road from Barber Street south approximately 1125 feet to the
southernmost subdivision access point. In addition S e

10. Conformance with Code of Ordinances: Consistent
11. Cl.angE.e,' CL)oditions: Site Ncs utilized fir a sand mining operation, .with proposed.
change to single-family residential.
12. Land Use Compatibility: The adjacent properties to the north, east and west are
designated low density residential, while the property immediately south is designated for
low density residential within the County.
There will be a negligible impact caused by the proposed land use change due to the
similarity of the existing uses in the area. Additionally, the infrastructure improvements
slated 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 the existing lake will
double a stormwater detention basin.
14. Natural Environment: The proposed Subdivision will contain the requisite open space
as required by land development regulations.
15. Economic Effect: provided — The property is currently not within the corporate limits of
the City of Sebastian. Annexation will provide an additional 115 +/- acres of land area with
an additional 150 residential units, which in turn 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.
3
17. Public Interest: The City of Sebastian Comprehensive Plan outlines the necessity to
incorporate and/or annex enclave parcels within incorporated cities. Although the property
in question is not an enclave (although adjacent on three sides to City boundaries), it is
adjacent to the urban service area, and would most likely be better served by municipal
services. The current use of the property is for sand mining purposes. The City no longer
permits sand mining operations, and the proposed change to a single-family residential is
consistent with the future goals and objectives of the City of Sebastian. Therefore, staff
finds 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 properties lying 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: Mr. Henry A. Fischer is requesting a large scale land use map amendment
for an 115+/- acre tract of land situated along Powerline Road south of Barber Street and
north of CR 510 adjacent to Sebastian Highlands Unit 11. The current land use
designation for this parcel of land is R (Residential 1 unit/acre (County)), while the current
zoning is A-1 (Agricultural 1 unit/acre). Mr. Fischer is requesting annexation of said parcel
with a land use of LDR (Low Density 5 units/acre) and corresponding zoning of RS -10
(10,000 SF minimum lot size). The property is home to a former sand mining operation,
which created a large lake on the subject site, and is slated for subdividing to permit
residential units along the perimeter of the lake boundaries. Cross Creek is proposed to
contain 150 single family residential lots with minimum lot size of 95' x 135', thus a
proposed density of 1.30 units/acre, well below the 5 units/acre permitted within the LD
category. The proposed project also includes improving Powerline Road from Barber
Street south approximately 1125 feet to the southernmost subdivision access point. In
addition, Shakespeare Street on the west side of the project will be expanded to a two-
lane roadway within a 50' right-of-way, whereas Shakespeare is currently a substandard
single lane roadway.
20. Conclusion: The requested land use change from R (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:

There was discussion about land use and zoning categores. 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-

Mr. Warren Dill, 1565 U.S. -r1r11, Sebastian, Florida represented the applicants, Mr. Hank
Fischer and Mr. Daniel Spencer. Also present is Mr. Bruce Meia 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. Powerline 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 Poweriine
Road and tiir. Hass said it is being negotiated. Mr. Allocco asked if the large cement

poles would be a problem on Poweriine Road and Mr. Dill said the driving surface is to
. the east of th4e poles and they would not present a problem fcr road construction. The
commissioners agreed this was a well -presented project.
The following people spoke:
Clive Beckwith, 465 Lighthouse Avenue, Sebastian, Flcrida very pleased with the
proposal as long as they do not use Shakespeare as the main entrance to the site.
Mickey Groepler, Sebastian, Florida asked where the lake came from and Mr. Dill said
the lake was created as a result of the sand mine operation.
Dot Weathers, 1781 Barber Street, Sebastian, Florida concerned about traffic on
Powerline Road,
Anna Roessler, 1745 Skyline Lane, Sebastian, Florida wanted to know if the buffer zone
will be maintained.
Zipolitto, Filbert Street, Sebastian, Florida said he received a letter requesting 35' of his
property for the road work and wondered why it wasn't taken from the west side of the
road instead. Mr. Stringer explained that Poweriine Road is a good way to get from the
Highlands to 51J, which has been a safety issue at the Met Dpc;itan Planning.
Organization.
Kathy Woolsey, 8625 7Vh Avenue, concerned about traffic and development.
Richard Scurlock, 1190 Barber Street, Sebastian, Florida in favor of no development and
no growth.
Mr. Dan Spencer, 90" Avenue, was a citrus grower for 20 years and if the economy
could support his business to continue it would.
Mr. Mahoney asked for a clarification of the staff notation, "rezoning shall be conditioned
upon receipt of annexation approval by the city council." Mr. Stringer interjected that it
doesn't take effect ect unless the city annexes it.
