QLD BI~SINESS: DISCUSSION - COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT Mr. Cooper imroduced Mr. Robert Johnson, a represemative from Clark, Roumelis, & Associates, Inc., the Consulting Firm representing the City of Sebastian for our Community Block Grant, and with CRA/Community Redevelopment Area. Mr. Johnson explained that the purpose of this exercise is to get the Community Block Grant funds to make improvements in the parking lot and along the riverwalk area. Usually it takes about a year to develop this plan and we are doing it in about 30 days. It can be changed or revised over a 30 year period. The plan will establish a Community Development Agency and they.will be responsible for the oversight of the plan itself. What they are saying is that there is a need for economic development, and the 90's version of blight is either a decline in development, or a need for increased development. In developing this plan, one of the things that is currently in here is a taxing and financing fund, which will generate revenue over a 30-year period or until You disband that part of the plan or the plan itself. Those funds will continue to be set aside for activities identified in this PLANNING AND ZON'D '~ COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING O} XCsdl. CH 16, 1995 PAGE FOUR plan. So you will have to manipulate this plan over the 30-year period to reflect the changes in the community. As you correct some of the deficiencies noted in here, you will want to insert other ones. The Blight Resolution is a formality required by State Statute that you must designate a finding of blight before you can adopt a Community Redevelopment Plan. Mr. Johnson pointed out several areas on his map such as pier improvements, bike path, Orange Heights area, and homes along the Riverview Park area, almost up to Main Street. This area did prove to become income eligible, which is a real plus for Grant application. Also shown are various improvements such as pier improvements, which came up with a shortage of funds at bidding time. This Grant can make up the difference in those funds and accomplish the improvements. We are proposing to install 100 lights to light the bikepath and sidewalk along indian River Drive, and make necessary improvements to the parking lot at Indian River Drive and Fellsmere Road. There was much discussion about parking lots, CAV Corp. property, and suggestions from Mr. Johnson for sound planning. As long as it is being used for the community, changes can generally be made, but if it was to be sold for commercial use, the Department would have trouble with that. In response to Mr. Schulke's question, Mr. Johnson stated that it can be an income generating lot. He also explained TIF funds. Large communities use this TIF fund for bond issues but it takes 2 to 3 yrs. before exploring the bond issue. A break was taken at 8:07 p.m. The meeting resumed at 8:21 p.m. and all members were present. Mr. Schulke pointed out that Harrison Street was not included on the survey. There was discussion on blight survey which is an attachment to the Resolution. Pages 11 through 32 were covered. The terms "slum" and "blight" were discussed and Mr. Johnson suggested removing the term "slum" from entire document, and address Harrison Street. Mr. Cooper suggested recommendation to City Council for approval for this Community Block Grant as it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, but with the changes discussed tonight. MOTION by Goldstein/Falke I make a motion to recommend the Community Redevelopment Plan to City Council for approval as it is consistent with Comprehensive Plan for the City; and include the changes discussed here tonight. Roll call was taken. 7-0 motion carried. C~ I~A~~: None PLANNING ~ZQN~.._ COMMISSION REGULAR ~ETING OF MARCH 16, 1996 There was discussion of required landscaping for Commercial 512 District, alleyways, buffers in rear yards, and the term "abutting" residential.
