Y LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1997 Mr. Pat Brennan, Public Works Director, Ms. Janet Isman, Interim Finance Director, and Ms. Martha Campbell, City Engineer were present and answered many questions and gave many explanations of items in this budget. It was established that there are about 150 miles of roads in the City. Mr. Massarelli noted that the figures represented in the latter years of this budget are subject to change and are projected figures only at this point and adjustments will be made along the way. Ms. Kilkelly noted that in the City's Land Development Code, under the functions and powers of Planning and Zoning, page 760, it indicates that one of the functions is to prepare the capital improvement list. She commented that perhaps, someday, this Board might be capable of preparing the list. There was further discussion on the involvement of Planning and Zoning in the development of the capital improvement list. Mr. Massarelli gave information on action by the City Council to establish six (6) Drainage Advisory Committees, where people will be appointed to committees to look at setting priorities for drainage improvements. Above that, there will be a super committee to help prioritize drainage improvements. That information will be brought to Planning and Zoning to help prepare these plans. He noted that revenue is a problem. He touched on a bond program for street paving, and resources for stormwater. He also indicated that City Council wants to have someone designated as a Grants coordinator. MOTION by Mather/Munsart I make a motion that we recommend to the City Council the Capital Improvement Plan as presented tonight by staff. A voice vote was taken. 7 - 0 motion carried. At this point, Mr. Massarelli recommended that this Commission move to item #4 on the agenda since Mr. Solin and Mr. Tempia were present to discuss the Land Development Code revisions. A consensus of the members agreed with this change. MOTION by Kilkelly/Mather I move that we defer the Comprehensive Plan Review process -Future Land Use Map Revisions until after the Planning and Zoning meeting.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW PROCESS - LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE REVISIONS Mr. Massarelli notedt�at af- fie next meeting; diie C-omnus§idn needs to -be at the point of malung a recommendation to City Council. He noted that in October, he has budgeted two workshops with the City Council to go through the Comprehensive Plan Amendments. Around December 15th, there will be a transmittal public hearing and these amendments will be transmitted to DCA. He then noted that next Thursday night (Sept. 11th) he will be holding a Public Workshop to inform the public on the Comprehensive Planning process and legal status. Mr. Tom Tempia, Planning Operations Manager with Sohn and Associates, the Planning Consultant for the City of Sebastian, referred to the handout on proposed Comp Plan 'amendments that he had provided to all Commission members noting changes, He also noted the chart (Appendix A) that showed the evaluation and appraisal report housing element. This chart was discussed and Mr. Tempia noted that these projections were obtained from projections from the 1990 census data and projections from the University of Florida which consider building permits and electrical connections. Mr. Massarelli commented that in looking at the figures in the above mentioned chart (Appendix A), it may be one of the reasons why Grace's Landing is so popular, and noted that he has been approached by other developers to do similar priced housing. Mr. Tempia went on to comment on page 27 of 38 in his handout, and noted that the only areas of Sebastian in the Coastal High -Hazard Areas are the mobile home parks. He noted that these parks may continue, but may not increase density. Mr. Munsart brought up the issue of requiring development to address off-site impacts. Mr. Tempia directed everyone to page 2 of 38 in the second draft of the Comp Plan Amendments, which covers the off-site improvement issue. There was some discussion about the jurisdiction of the City into the Indian River. Staff indicated that this jurisdiction goes out to the channel markers. Mr. Les Solin of Sohn and Associates spoke on the Summary Outline that he passed out tonight. Staff noted that at the recent City Council meeting, the City Attorney suggested that Mr. Solin look at the shared parking issue and make suggestions on how to "fix" it. Staff recommended that this issue could be corrected in this revision of the Comp Plan. Another issue that needs attention is the practice of basing parking requirements on seating for restaurants. Staff suggests that it should be based on square feet, and maximum standards should be set instead of minimum standards. A break was taken at 6:25, and the meeting resumed at 8:35 P.M. with all previous members present. The Commission members were gathered around a large table that held a large future land use map that was color -coded. Industrial use properties were identified first and the property at the airport 3 LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1997 was discussed.

General consensus of the Agency members was to keep the area around the airport industrial. General consensus of the Agency members was to keep the industrial area that is presently on Louisiana Avenue. Several other industrial sites were identified and will remain. General consensus of the Agency members was to designate the low density of Collier Creek as industrial. Institutional properties were discussed and the following were considered to be institutional: churches, schools, County owned property, Barber Street sports complex, and all City owned property. (The south half of the Barber Street sports complex is currently CL, but it is recommended that it be classified as institutional) Residential uses were discussed as was the Riverfront district. The classification of RMU was agreed upon for the Riverfront district. Mobile Home designation was discussed and consensus was to allow a piece of property in the western section of Park Place to be low-density. The mobile home area south of CR 512 was determined to be designated industrial. It was determined that the triangular section that includes the Italian -American Club will be Commercial 512. The two COR designations on the area west of the RR should be changed to Commercial General. Buffer zones were discussed. Staff suggested that infrastructure impact needs to be evaluated for traffic impact. There was discussion on small convenient stores in residential areas. An area on Schumann Drive that was designated Commercial Limited or COR would be designated Medium Density. Staff indicated that new drawings should be ready for the next meeting.

SITE PLAN REVIEW - MINOR MODIFICATION - GOODYEAR PLAZA - 920 U.S. HWY. #1- STEVE PHILIPSON - REVISED PARKING Mr. Steve Philipson, 415 Live Oak Drive, Vero Beach, was present and in giving his presentation, noted that if his request is approved, it will give him seven (7) more parking spaces that is required. He indicated that this would allow the value of his property to increase, and also allow greater flexibility in the selection than he now has. He indicated that as the owner of a small strip center, he is renting to small "Mom & Pop" businesses who compete with larger local businesses. He noted that keeping rental fees lower makes this a difficult ownership. By increasing the number of parking spaces, it will help to increase business. He also wanted to convey that he is very comfortable with the issue of increasing the quality of the landscaping. He objected to the request for elimination of parking spaces #17, 18, and 19 (staff report notes these spaces as # 18, 19, and 20). He continued with his presentation.

"There's no reason that we couldn't make a recommendation to City Council with our opinions, or our findings of fact or anything else of what we think it is. I mean, we could say yes, what you're suggesting is consistent with the Code, but yes, what's already there is consistent in the Code, and we have found, or it is our opinion that it is a bad idea to change it, and this is why. Why couldn't we do that?" (There was more discussion, but the above is the only part that was questioned.) Respectfully submitted.
