PUBLIC HEARING - April 12, 1984
A Public Hearing was' held April 12, 1984 at 7:30 P.M. in the Council
Chambers of the City of Sebastian to consider an application, as submitted by
the property owner, requesting a zoning classification of PUD(R).f°r a pre-
viously unzoned parcel of land, lying within Sections 14 and 23, Township 31
south, Range 38 east. Present were Chairman Gene Harris, Vice-Chairman Harold
Eisenbarth, Members Bill Mahoney, Randy Mosby and Marjorie Poole. Also present
was City Planner, Lester Solin and Jim Parmeter, his assistant.
Notice of the Public Hearing was read, and the hearing was opened to the
public. Dr. Henry Fischer commented that there was a rule in the county that
density could not increase on a parcel of. land annexed into the city for two
years following annexation. Greg Golien said the parcel being considered was
agriculture, given R-1 designation since it was the lowest density the city had.
Presentation of the plans for the 66 acre tract were presented by
Darrell McQueen of Lloyd and Associates, a Vero Beach Engineering firm. Some
of the items he mentioned in his presentation: PUD would have 8 units per acre,
22' wide pavement, realign Roseland Road, have accel, decel lanes on CR#512,
dead end Laconia so it won't enter Roseland Road, there will be 5 units per
acre in the side that l~es next to the LD areas off Granduer St., there will be
50' bumper strips, buffer zones will be heavily planted, buildings will be 4 units
upstairs, 4 units downstairs, they will pay GDU for water, have a tertiary
treatment, sewer system, affluent will go into lake, reused as irrigation water,
development schedule will be 104 units within one year, 2nd'phase - 168 units,
3rd phase - 200 units. Entrance, club house, two tennis courts and roads and
parking will be completed with the 1st phase. Improvements to CR#512, Roselan~
Road, and Laconia will be done during 2nd phase, and 3rd phase will be completed '
by 1987.
Presentation by City Planner Lester Solin (See attached me~o from Solin
and Associates, dated April 12, 1984)
Randy Mosby pointed out that Mr. Solin's six summary points did not
include comment concerning the commercial area. Mr. Solin said that was an
oversight, he recommended that the board refrain from approving the commercial
area until we have as much information on it as we have for the residential area.
Randy Mosby questioned whether six acres would be sufficient for a shopping
center complex. Les Solin said twelve acres would be better.
The other area of most concern was whether or not the area had wetlands.
Les Solin suggested Dan Carey, a wetlands expert for ~e Treasure Coast Planners.
Lakes would be 10 - 12 feet deep, with sandy clay bottoms which would be more
permeable than the shallow ponds there at present; also there are 4 -5 wells
artificially adding to the water table. Greg Golien said if the wells were shut
off, the area would drain in two weeks. Dr. Fischer showed where the 54" culvert
pipe cut through to provide adequate drainage. The question is whether there is
the 50% green space required in the PUD ordinance.

~ · 'Darrell McQueen asked us to give approval of PUD(R). "If I don't
know how much commercial, I c~'t proceed, if I don't know density, I
can't proceed. I will conform to whatever you ask, and I have complied."
Les Solin felt the developer didn't show much empathy to reduce units to
allow green space, also felt instead of thel500 projected trips from unit
there would be approximately 3500 trips as per conversation with county
traffic engineer.
Board members agreed they were voting on zoning, not setting density.
Harold Eisenbarthmade a motion to recommend approval by council of the zoning
classification PUD(R) contingent upon aPProval Of the Comprehensive Plan
Amendment and compliance with the recommendations by City Planner Les Solin.
Motion died from lack of a second. There was more discussion concerning what
was needed in the motion. Harold Eisenbarth made the motion the Board recommend
approval by Council of the zoning classifica~on PUD(R) for the parcel of land
lying within sections 14 and 23, township 31 south, range 38 east, contingent
upon approval of Comprehensive Plan Amendment April 19, 1984, and on compliance
with the April 12 review, by Lester $olin of $olin and AsSociates', and Dr. Fischer's
comments concerning the location of the sewage treatment plant. (Me was opposed
to it being placed on CR#512 next to Roseland Acres, recommended it be next to
commercial pod). Motion was' seconded by Marjor~e Peele. Motion carried unani-
mously.
Chairman Harris felt the members needed clarification on two points:
1. After three meetings missed without good reason, member would automatically
be dismissed, no need for resignation letter.
2. Considering the political nature of meetings~, and the non-politically nature
of our board, members of thi~ board should at all times remain neutral and
conduct themselves.properly at public meetings.
Randy Mosby confirmed the fact; we are appointed to serve and make sure the
ordinances are complied with, and that is. all.
Meeting adjourned at 11:15 P.M.
