the City Attorney read the title of Ordinance No. 0-18-06.
The Community Development Director said this was a voluntary annexation located south of
the City that is currently vacant agricultural land and the applicant would like to continue with
that zoning designation until they can come forward with some type of development plan.
She said the property will become an important corner intersection as CR510 is improved;
the applicant has provided a good concurrency evaluation and fiscal analysis for commercial
use. She asked Council to be aware that the City's comprehensive plan recognizes
annexation of existing agriculture land until such a time that urban growth is contiguous and
agriculture activities are no longer sustainable. She recommended approval.

Mayor Hill opened discussion at 6:29 p.m. The City Manager said this was a land use
change requested by the Graves Brothers for commercial general and staff recommended
sending the request to the Dept. of Economic Opportunities for comment. The City Attorney
read the title of Ordinance No. 0-18-07.
The Community Development Director said the property is at an important future intersection
hence the request for a higher intensity use, which staff supports.
Edward Hannot, representing Valerie Hannot, 762 Concha Drive, said they opposed the
rezoning of the north leg of the parcel that crosses the waterway that backs onto their
property. The development will change the topography of the current wetland and increase
the volume of water directed to his backyard. It should be left undeveloped to absorb rain
flow. He also stated the wetland provides habitat for various wildlife and would like it to
remain undisturbed.

Ben Hocker began to recruit for Sebastian Property Owners Association and Mayor Hill
asked him to come back under Item #13 -Public Input.
Susana Quintana, 766 Concha Drive, said she had the same concerns as Mr. Hannot. The
wetland is full of wildlife including a flamingo family. She said she is 110% against the
development of the area.
Andrea Ring, 407 Quarry Lane, said she would be in favor of the land use request,
especially the commercial plan but asked to keep the wetlands preserved.
Joe Schulke, Schulke Bittle & Stoddard LLC, representing the Graves Brothers, said the site
was an abandoned grove that drains right into the creek. The project is in the Sebastian
River Improvement District with very strict criteria for discharge rates. The property has
about 215-260 feet of right-of-way between the property and highland lots with another 200
feet that won't be developed. He didn't think the houses would see the commercial
development through the buffer.
The Community Development Director recommended approval on first reading and to
authorize staff to transmit the request to the Department of Economic Opportunities for
comments.
MOTION by Council Member McPartlan and SECOND by Council Member Dodd to approve
Item #11 B.
Council Member Dodd said this will be a prime commercial corridor to bring into Sebastian
and the process will undoubtedly protect the wetlands.

Council Member McPartlan —Aye

Mayor Hill said he would like to see something in between the 1,000 and 500 foot buffer
zones. Council Member Dodd said Council originally approved an ordinance that was more
open than this; he said he preferred the 500 foot radius, noting it will only be available in the
specific zoning districts.

500 feet in the separation requirement language.
