Land Development Code Revisions - Continuation of draft review - Amended Articles. Mr. Massarelli referred to handouts of Articles I, II, III, IV, V, and VI. He noted that these are based on revisions that we have worked through, although Article V, Zoning Regulations, will be revised again to put in the Commercial Riverfront and Waterfront Commercial/Residential, and taking out the CRR - Commercial Resort Residential. He then referred to Article XVIII, Site Plan Review Procedures, and Article XIX, Subdivisions. Mr. Massarelli began with Article IX, Concurrency Management, which is mandated by State law and should have been done years ago. There was discussion on a flow chart and how the water and sewer in Sebastian will mesh with the County. Chmn. Munsart asked about the impact fees from Sebastian and if there is gallonage reserved for our city. Mr. Massarelli responded that he will look into it and get as much information as he can, but at this time, there is no capacity allocated to the City of Sebastian. There was discussion on road capacities and the need for a process to account for this capacity. Mr. Schulke offered information on dealing with the County on this issue. r /OM*N LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF MEETING OF MARCH 5, 1998 Mr. Massarelli noted a planned seminar in Melbourne on "Access Management", and noted that this information could be applied to the plan for six (6) lanes on US # 1. He then spoke of a proposed standing "order" with the findings of fact spelled out to assist in making motions, etc. These "orders" may be amended, but they will be more clearly understood. There was discussion on the Concurrency Management Status Report. Ms. Kilkelly suggested setting a time for this report to be produced, instead of leaving it vague. This was discussed and it was agreed to schedule this report for twice a year. In reference to recreation, staff also noted that impact fees can only be used for the impact of new development; it cannot be used to correct deficiencies. Mr. Massarelli reported on some property near the intersection of CR 512 and Louisiana Ave and discussion took place. There was also discussion on distribution of impact fees. Mr. Massarelli noted information on the State DOT, and a change in their policy to add a Preliminary Planning phase to estimate community support of future projects. He urged this Local f Planning Agency to be strong on Access Management because if we don't control development along US # 1, DOT may take over. He also urged this Board, and the City of Sebastian, to get very serious about the Laconia St. and Roseland Rd by-pass and lay it out, to relieve traffic on US # 1. He indicated that a preliminary plan presented to DOT will be received better than just negative opinions. He also noted that being active in the MPO is very important. There was more discussion on this issue. There was discussion on Article III, Development Agreement and definitions. Staff spoke on 3.9.4, applicability and exemptions, and noted that most of our permits would be exempt, but that staff needs to account for the exemptions. Discussion took place on exempting redevelopment that decreases density, and the explanation of the term "vested". Mr. Schulke noted that Concurrent Management must be done for eve in the County, even single family homes. It was agreed that on a re -plat, a reduction of the number of lots would not be part of Concurrency Management. Mr. Schulke suggested that if everyone, even residential homeowners, were to fill out the form and pay a fee, it would help with staffing and other costs. This subject was discussed and it was suggested that if new -home owners are charged a fee, it helps pay for administrative costs instead of them being paid by present taxpayers. Staff noted the cost that will be involved with the Concurrency Management. 2 k. 1 ~ ` LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF MEETING OF MARCH 5, 1998 Mr. Mather noted that this plan would be the same as the County. There was discussion on the deletion of the exceptions in 3.9.4. Mr. Schulke provided more detailed information on the procedure with Indian River County on Concurrency Management, noting that if exempt, it will be determined on the application. Staff suggested that Concurrency Credits be included in this plan, along with an expiration date. There was discussion on this issue and the involvement of Concurrency for a business that closes for some reason, remains vacant for an extended period of time, and reopens. Staff noted that a definition of re -development is needed at this point. The issues of re -development were discussed, including Concurrency review at the time of any change of use. Staff suggested continuing this discussion after the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting tonight. Chmn. Munsart declared a break at 6:34 pm., and reopened the LPA meeting at 8:23 pm. Chmn. Munsart announced that all members previously present have returned, except Mr. Mather. There was further discussion on re -development and Concurrency review at the time of change -of - use. There was discussion on level of service and capacity on streets, and sanitary sewer, potable water, solid waste and drainage. Staff referred to a flow chart that was provided to all Board members. Capacity reservation was discussed along with the comparison of how Indian River County handles the utilities versus the City of Sebastian. Staff suggested having a "reservation of capacity" and "conditional reservation of capacity". Discussion continued on the revisions, and some corrections, changes, and additions were made. Traffic counts by the City was discussed. Mr. Schulke suggested adding "mini -storage" on page VII -28 under Zoning District Regulations. He also suggested incorporating a density bonus toward affordable housing. Staff noted that when the LDC is completed, it will be cross-checked with the Comprehensive Plan to verify that every policy is referenced in the LDC. Ms. Kilkelly suggested making a table to track what goals, objectives and policies are covered by the LDC. Staff noted that City Council did away with P & Z's recommendation to increase medium -density ✓~' LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF MEETING OF MARCH 5, 1998 from 8 units an acre to 9 units an acre to accommodate duplexes, and put in a provision that 10,000 square lots are allowable for duplexes, which would be a text amendment without increasing density. There was discussion on commercial outside lighting, glare, and County requirements. Driveway access, internal circulation, off-street parking and other traffic impacts was discussed, and Mr. Pliska suggested that driveway entrances be required to be a better angle for easier access and exit. Staff commented that the City Engineer would be contacted for information on this subject. Location of wells and septic tanks were discussed. Setting extra meetings to deal with the LDC revisions was discussed. Staff noted that Board members will be contacted with proposed dates. Chmn.

He suggested that only clean concrete be allowed. Mr. Massarelli noted that the issue of reinforcement of the shoreline is something that every community struggles with.

He also noted that there is a problem with the signs at this site and explained. Mr. Pliska felt that allowing this to continue would set a precedent.

He noted that this term is in our code at present, but it was determined by the Commission members that it was too broad. Other uses were discussed.
