bid again.

Council Member Dodd said he preferred the white lettering with teal logo and the
fisherman's village type posts if they wanted to continue the theme as they rewrite
the Comp Plan; and they might need to change the number of grouches.
Vice Mayor Kinchen and Council Member lovino said the while lettering was fine with
the teal logo.
Council Member McPartlan did not have a preference.
Mayor Hill recapped that Council would like the teal logo with the white lettering. He
asked if the 'Six Old Grouches' line should stay noting it has been a talking point for
years. It was the consensus to leave the 'Six Old Grouches' line on the City's
entrance signs and have gray posts with the nautical rope in the CRA district with
black posts through the rest of the sign system.
11. PUBLIC INPUT
New intimation or requests to City Council not otherwise on the prepared agenda
Bob Stephen said adding plants to the bottom of the water is adding to the eutrophication
problem in the canals and asked Council to stop.
Marcus _7 , 17 year resident, agreed with the previous speaker and said something needs
to be done and asked Council what they were going to do about it.
Mayor Hill said Sebastian is the only municipality looking into improving the canals and
waterways and invited the speaker to look into the City's activities
Diana Bolton, Environmental Chair of the Sebastian Property Owners Association, said she
would e-mail Council the pediatric cancer study previously mentioned at Council meetings.
She also invited anyone who might be interested to contact her regarding algae blooms and
chemical spraying.
She said she has reviewed the draft budget but does not find a provision covering less
harmful vegetation maintenance and asked to meet with staff.
Council Member Dodd advised the vegetation maintenance document that is being prepared
by the City Manager will include chemical, biological and manual options with cost estimates
along with pros and cons. At the time Council choses an option from that document, that
will be the time to modify the budget and part of the public discourse will be to ask the
people if they want to do this option, and how do they want to fund it. He advised Ms.
Bolton that from a budget perspective, she won't see a difference at this point.
Joel Roth, 1984 East Lakeview Drive, complimented Council on the decision with the
signage. He said in regard to the 'old fishing village' theme, he asked if the City could
develop a brochure depicting the design that would be acceptable to City to give developers.
The City Manager said there were some vague drawings done but the City didn't want to
say those were the only parameters allowed to prevent a 'cookie cutter' look. He added that
there are many new buildings that can be shown to interested developers to continue the
'old fishing villege'theme.

PROVIDING FOR THE EXTENSION OF THE CORPORATE LIMITS AND BOUNDARIES
THEREOF; PROVIDING FOR INTERIM LAND USE AND ZONING CLASSIFICATION;
PROVIDING FOR SCRIVENER'S ERRORS; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT AND
SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read the title to Ordinance No. 0-19-04. The City Manager said the main
purpose of tonight's reading was to hold the first reading and set the public hearing date.
The Community Development Director said this is in accordance with F.S.171.044 as well as
the City's Comprehensive Plan; the property is adjacent to the boundaries of the City; there
will be a mix of future land use designations in order to achieve consistency with the City's
adopted Future Land Use Element of the 2009 Comprehensive Plan. The property currently
maintains active agriculture use therefore the zoning will remain as agriculture A-1 until the
conceptual plan has been completed. A statement of concurrency analysis has been
submitted by the applicant.
Dr. Richard Baker, President of the Pelican Island Audubon Society, asked if there was a
letter from the County on this subject. Mayor Hill said he did not see a letter at the time of
the meeting.
Dr. Baker said the County outlined reasons why the project shouldn't go through.
The City Manager said the letter was received at 4:30 today and he did plan to meet with
County staff prior to the August 28 public hearing.
Pamela Parris, Sebastian Property Owners Association, asked where the public will be able
to see the plans, agriculture zoning, stormwater impact, and school concerns prior to the
August 28 meeting. Mayor Hill advised the documents given tonight and in the future will be
on-line and the public is welcome to participate in the public hearing.
MOTION by Mayor Hill and SECOND by Council Member McPartlan to pass Ordinance No.
0-19-04 on first reading providing for a voluntary annexation by Graves Brothers Company
and set the public hearing for August 28, 2019.
Mayor Hill assured the public that he will look into this annexation very closely and pointed
out that all new developments require septic and water hookups.
Council Member Dodd said he has asked questions about the septic and water and found
there is adequate capacity on CR510 for an adjacent development the County is planning.
He noted the Graves Brothers proposal protects the wetlands, has town center structures,
and they intend to maintain the streets.

He said the County will approve a subdivision even if it does not come into the City; it is
concurrent to the City and it is appropriate to look at the property to control how it is
developed. He said in his 13 years sitting on the Planning and Zoning Commission he has
not seen a decision made that destroyed property or was negative to customers. He
assured the public the City is doing the right thing and was in favor of moving forward with
the project.

4" for lower speed roads
The contrast between blade and message needs to be 70%
The messages should be spelled in upper and lower case (easier
to read —ADA and MUTCD requirement)
