Quasi-Judicial and Public Hearings A. Public Hearing -- Recommendation to City Council -- Special Exception Request -- Vehicular Sales in Commercial Riverfront Zoning District -- 920 US Highway #1 -- Adam Espley Ms. Kautenburg asked if any of the Commissioners have had any ex parte communication regarding this matter. Hearing none, she opened the hearing. Mr. Stokes read the item into the record and swore in all who would be testifying. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 3 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2019 Ms. Kautenburg called on the applicant to make his presentation. Mr. Adam Espley, Sebastian, FL, described his history of being in the business of online automobile sales for the last 10 years. His business is wholesale only, and he has no dealing with or sales to the public or storing of vehicles on his business site. The vehicles are all sold online and only through auto auctions. He is required to have a business site for storage of records, business license, bond, etc., and that is what he is asking for tonight. Ms. Kautenburg asked for comments/questions from the Commissioners. Mr. Roth: • Inquired if there will be any employees related to this business. Mr. Espley stated no, he is a sole proprietor. He stated he will only be in this office two to three days a week for paperwork. He said the DMV strictly controls businesses such as his. • Inquired if there will be any real estate business conducted out of this office. He mentioned an email for a real estate business. Mr. Espley said no, that email address is for the owner of the building. Ms. Kautenburg asked to hear from the staff. Ms. Bosworth stated the reason this matter is before the Commission is because auto sales and incidental accessory usage is only permitted in Commercial General and Industrial zoning districts. The location of this particular business is in the Commercial Riverfront district. The City's Code does allow special exceptions. This application does meet the criteria and findings of fact set forth in the Code. Since the State requires Mr. Espley to obtain a dealer's license, this is the reason for the need for a special exception. Staff recommends allowing the special exception with the following conditions: (1) The business shall not be allowed to display, sell on site, or temporarily park any vehicles involved with the auto sales operation on the business property, and (2) that the special exception is granted for the specified address only. Ms. Kautenburg called on any members of the public who wish to speak in favor of this request. Seeing none, Ms. Kautenburg called on any members of the public who wish to speak in opposition to this request. Seeing none, she called for questions/comments from the Commissioners. Mr. Alvarez: • Inquired how it will be monitored regarding the appearance of any vehicles being stored at the site. Mr. Espley stated he will follow the rules and laws, as he doesn't PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 4 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2019 want the City to come in and shut his business down. Ms. Kautenburg called for a motion. A motion was made by Mr. Carter and seconded by Mr. Roth to approve the special exception permit to Adam Espley to allow a wholesale auto sales business within the CR zoning district, specifically for the property located at 920 US Highway #1 with the additional conditions that the business shall not be allowed to display, sell on site or temporarily park any vehicles involved with the auto sales operation on the business property. Roll Call: Mr. Roth -- Yes Mr. Hughan -- Yes Mr. Alvarez -- Yes Mr. Carter -- Yes Mr. Mauti (a) -- Yes Ms. Kautenburg -- Yes Vote was 6-0 in favor. Motion carries. B. Public Hearing -- Recommendation to City Council -- Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map Amendment (For a Proposed 1,118 Acre Annexation) -- Graves Brothers Company, Applicant -- Properties Located Adjacent and South of CR 510 -- A Total of 1,047 Acres, More or Less, of Subject Parcels Requesting Initial Land Uses (Less Road and Canal Right-of-Ways) -- Request is for CG (Commercial General), CL (Commercial Limited), IN (Industrial), INS (Institutional), MDR (Medium Density Residential), LDR (Low Density Residential), VLDR (Very Low Density Residential), and C (Conservation) Land Uses Ms. Kautenburg prefaced the opening of this matter by announcing that, due to the large number of the public attending this meeting, each person who wants to speak during the Public Input section of this agenda item will be limited to three minutes instead of the regular five minutes. Ms. Kautenburg made a motion that a time limit of three minutes per individual speaker from the public be established, seconded by Mr. Hughan. Roll Call Mr. Roth -- Yes Mr. Alvarez -- Yes Mr. Hughan -- Yes Mr. Mauti (a) -- No Mr. Carter -- Yes Ms. Kautenburg -- Yes Vote was 5 ayes, 1 nay. Motion carries. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 5 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2019 Mr. Stokes read the item into the record, and Ms. Kautenburg called on staff to make their presentation. Ms. Lisa Frazier, Community Development Director for the City of Sebastian, introduced herself and made a PowerPoint presentation on the matter before the Commission (SEE ATTACHED). She addressed the Commission and described their position as sitting as the land planning agency, which involves looking at the long-range plan for the City in order to make a recommendation to City Council regarding this property. Her presentation described the elements of the proposed land use map, how they relate to each other, and attempted to dispel any misconceptions that there might be regarding this project. There were color-coded drawings/maps of the various uses and parcels within the project. Her presentation also described analyses that were done regarding infrastructure, etc. She further stated that the recommendations made by this Commission, if the application is approved, will become a part of the ordinance as presented to City Council. So it becomes a law, and then it would be translated into the comprehensive plan. Ms. Kautenburg called upon the applicant to make his presentation. Mr. Joseph Schulke from the offices of Schulke, Bittle & Stoddard gave a PowerPoint presentation (SEE ATTACHED) in which he described the project. He reviewed the packet of information that he has submitted with the application and stated it shows that the project is consistent with the City's comprehensive plan. His hope is to inform the public how the proposed project will be good for the City of Sebastian. He pointed out the ratio of green space to developed space, the roadways granting ingress and egress in and around the proposed development, and the areas that would be designated as commercial space. (SHORT BREAK TAKEN AT 7:49 P.M.) (BACK ON THE RECORD AT 7:57 P.M.) 8. Public Input Ms. Kautenburg called the meeting to order and called for public input in favor of the project. • Andrea Ring, Sebastian, FL. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 6 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2019 Asked that, if this project is allowed, the City consider upgrading its standards to the Chesapeake Bay Act standards of water quality and sewer-to-septic standards. She is in favor of the project and thinks it will be a positive addition to the City. Seeing no further members of the audience who wished to speak in favor of the project, Ms. Kautenburg asked for anyone wishing to speak against the project to form a line and approach the microphone one at a time in an orderly fashion. • Rene Boisvert, Brookedge Terrace, Sebastian Stated he represents approximately 400 fellow neighbors. His group wants to maintain the small-town atmosphere that is Sebastian. He asks that, when the City considers development, it keeps the projects smaller. • John Christino, Sebastian Is inquiring about the additional acreage owned by the same entity in the area of the proposed annexation. He is in favor of keeping Sebastian as a small town and is concerned with how the addition of new businesses will affect the present small businesses in Sebastian. • Frank Casiglia, Sebastian Is in favor of keeping Sebastian a small town. He questions the impact the proposed project would have on traffic in the area. • Tim Glover, Micco Is the President of the Friends of St. Sebastian River. He presented copies of a letter his group had sent to the City voicing some concerns regarding the proposed annexation and how it will affect the St. Sebastian River. • Robert Bedea, Sebastian Is concerned about the existing environmental conditions and how the proposed project will impact those conditions, especially the water quality of the Indian River Lagoon. • Ardra Rigby, Sebastian Is the President of the West Wabasso Project. He questions the benefits the proposed project would have on the West Wabasso community. Concerning to him is the fact that West Wabasso is fighting to get sewage, and he is concerned if the new project allows septic, how that will affect West Wabasso. • David Brown PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 7 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2019 Is concerned regarding the notice that was presented to the public regarding input from the public for or against the project. He thinks more people should have been notified other than those within 400 feet of the annex point. He questions the environmental impact this project will have on the area. • Patricia Mandell, Sebastian The population explosion that will accompany the proposed annexation will strain the existing infrastructure of Sebastian. She is concerned about the affect the project will have on wildlife in and around the St. Sebastian River. Suggestion was made to have an entity such as the Indian River Land Trust and/or others purchase the property and preserve it . She suggests a slower approach which would allow more studies on the impact of this project on surrounding areas before annexation is done. • Lisa Boisvert, Sebastian Questions how this project will affect hospitals, schools, ambulance response time, traffic, etc. She suggested an independent investigation/report on how all these different factors would be affected. She suggested the issue be revisited in six months. • Jennifer Mina, Sebastian Is concerned about loss of habitat. She is also concerned regarding the burden on the police department and other services in Sebastian. She feels that the residents of Sebastian don't have a say in what is happening regarding the annexation. • Mark Fleming, Sebastian Suggested that the owner of the property proposed to be annexed should be here to speak for himself. He suggested that the school district will be heavily impacted by the increase in population created by this annexation. Also, the police department will have to be increased as well as the code enforcement division. His group has hired an attorney to make a presentation to City Council. • George Glenn, Jr. Is an attorney representing the Pelican Island Audubon Society and other groups. He stated this is where the City of Sebastian Planning and Zoning Commission has the most input as to the future of this annexation property. He has not seen any documents stating there will be a text change other than a map amendment . He suggests that the City's discretion is at the land-use phase, and the City should PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 8 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2019 not give the landowner interim land uses that have been proposed by the applicant. There are inconsistencies in the existing comprehensive plan on what is to happen on annexation of agricultural property that is currently outside the current service area boundary. • Carter Taylor Represents the Clean Water Coalition of Indian River County. He agrees with what has been said so far, and Mr. Glenn's point is very well taken, that in approving these land-use entitlements and hearing them before the subject property is actually annexed into the City, he questions what authority the City has in doing that when the property is not part of the City yet. His coalition is mostly concerned with water quality issues. He called attention to the adjacent property which is also owned by the applicant and the possibility that the applicant will be asking for another annexation in the future. He gave an example in Volusia County where the same sort of annexation was attempted, and after going to court, it was rejected. He also addressed the short amount of time that was spent during the City's presentation on the flood map and what will be necessary in that regard. • Richard Baker President of the Pelican Island Audubon Society . He asked why City Council has not had a chance to look at the letter from Indian River County regarding this matter. He thinks this matter is being rushed through, and more acres should be bought and preserved as agricultural areas. He reviewed that the sewer systems in Florida are failing due to overload. He suggested that the process of annexation be slowed down to work out problems such as sewer systems, etc. He also addressed the small area of conservation land proposed in this annexed property. • Nancy Gomez, Sebastian Hopes the documents that were presented tonight will be online for review. She doesn't think most of the residents of Sebastian are complaining because they have to drive a few extra miles for other restaurant and/or shopping choices. She stated that the particular project in discussion is a concern to the residents of Sebastian. She suggested an endangered-species study done on the proposed annex ation property. She also mentioned that by changing the law with the amendment, that will affect future growth, and she thinks that is a v ery important thing to consider. • Pamela Parris, Sebastian Vice President of Sebastian Property Owners Association. She suggested the current planning and zoning laws of Sebastian should be updated. She also asked PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 9 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2019 that the Commission ask City Council to postpone the granting of this application until more study is done and more input is had. • Jason Brown County Administrator. He stated that Indian River County is not opposed to the annexation, but the County is opposed to it in its current form. The County thinks the City should slow this process down and take time to make sure the City gets this right. He stated that the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners did just yesterday send a letter, a part of which he read, to Mayor Hill asking that the City slow the process down. He provided a copy of that letter. He stated there was also a letter sent from the City Manager of Fellsmere today to the City Manager of Sebastian, a copy of which he also provided, which lists Fellsmere's concerns regarding this matter. He reiterated that this is the time when the City can get the applicant to agree to certain things, and the City will have less authority going forward. He believes there should be an annexation agreement between the City of Sebastian and the applicant setting forth certain density restrictions, etc. He emphasized that now is the time to slow down. He also addressed the wastewater limitations being different from what the applicant suggested. He also read a portion of the interlocal agreement stating that no entity other than the County can furnish wastewater services to or within the incorporated area of the City. • Patty Kuhner Feels that the growth will cause too much traffic, too many people, and Sebastian becoming an atmosphere like south Florida. She also wonders, if Sebastian turns this proposed annexation down, if the County will develop a New Town. • David Rinker Agrees that Sebastian get the annexation rather than the County. He did extensive demographic studies and settled in Sebastian. He is for the annexation as long as an influx of people doesn't come with it. • Brian O'Neill, Sebastian Is concerned about the comprehensive plan for Sebastian which calls for 10% increase in residents per year. Given that, he thinks a decision on this annexation should be delayed until the new comprehensive plan is completed and recommendations from the Natural Resources Board are in. The 3,600 homes in this annexation plus the 2,000 homes the County is developing will have a huge impact on the atmosphere in Sebastian. • Damien Gilliams, Sebastian PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 10 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2019 President of Sebastian Property Owners Association Objected to this hearing under the rules and regulations for modifications. He opined there was supposed to be a unanimous vote changing the length of time for public input, and there is one vote nay. He stated that no one approached his organization to speak on this matter, and thus there was no input given from the community. He suggested there be an engineer and a land development attorney involved in the development of the proposed project. He s uggested the matter be tabled until proper representation is obtained. • Mary Rue Described her health concerns and the fact that so much development will limit the ability to grow fresh vegetables and fruits . • Vincent Burke Director of Utility Services of Indian River County He is not opposed to this annexation, but he asked the Commission to listen to the counsel of the people who appeared tonight and to take the time for due diligence and not rush this project through. He asked the Commission, if they allow the annexation, to put an annexation agreement in place to make sure that certain requirements are included so that all the concerns are addressed. He is specifically concerned with the demineralization of the water that will be required to serve the additional population. • Albert Alvarez, Sebastian Is concerned with the expansion of CR 510 and the increased cost of that expansion if and when this annexation and development come to fruition. Seeing no more persons to present public input, Ms. Kautenburg closed this section of the meeting. She then asked for comments by staff. Ms. Frazier emphasized to the Commission that they are making a decision on the future land use designations. Staff has provided them with some recommendations that staff feels have addressed most, if not all, of the concerns that have been brought up in the numerous letters and meetings that were attended. She stated that this evening there was talk of annexation agreements. That is not for this Commission to decide; it would be up to City Council to determine if they would like to have an annexation agreement. That discussion will occur on August 28th. However, this evening's discussion is regarding the future land use designations. Ms. Kautenburg called on the applicant to make any additional comments. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 11 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2019 Mr. Schulke clarified the subject of the size of the conservation area. He stated that, while there is conservation space designated, there is also 50% open space in the project as well. Ms. Kautenburg called on Ms. Schiff for input. Ms. Schiff, the Indian River County School Board liaison, stated that, while she is not stating a position of the District or the Board, she wanted to point out a couple of issues that she hopes will be considered in the deliberation, and particularly by the developers. Ms. Schiff said she didn't hear a lot of comment other than from members of the public on the impact on schools and education. She questioned whether the developer had spoken with the School District, as a lot of these issues concern not just the City but also the County in the ways that they interact. In particular, there are two schools on that road -- an elementary school and a high school. Speaking of the traffic patterns, she asked that those patterns feeding into and out of those schools be considered. She hopes that the developer will work with the School District to consider what the impact will be on the schools. Ms. Kautenburg called for questions/comments from the Commissioners. Mr. Roth • Wanted clarification that, while the Commission is considering annexation of the property, will the zoning code be changed, or will the agricultural designation continue on the property after this annexation. Ms. Frazier answered yes, the agricultural designation would remain. • Addressed the matter of zoning classifications in this plan and asked the City Attorney if that is something the Commission should include in considering a motion. Mr. Stokes said no, that any changes to zoning will come later. The only thing being addressed tonight is future land use. Mr. Mauti • Is concerned that the Commission had a very short time to review this project. He stated some of the documents that were presented were difficult to read. • Asked why, when there is a new comprehensive plan coming out in the near future, is there a rush to do this annexation. He asked what impact the new comprehensive plan would have on the developer. Ms. Frazier replied that the developer has indicated that they do not wish to annex into the City without a future land use designation. They would like to do that simultaneously. The City looked at it as an opportunity to put controls on the property with these recommendations. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 12 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2019 She indicated it will probably take 18 months to get the new comprehensive plan completed. • Regarding the Commercial General (CG) and Commercial Limited (CL) designations, they allow for more multiple residential units such as condos and apartments. He does not see the businesses locating there so as to create a large amount in taxes for the City. • Would like to see the matter of annexation tabled so that the Commission has sufficient time to further study this project. • Inquired where the projected amount of tax money to be received by the City from this project come from. He doesn't feel there was enough data available for him to make a decision, and the matter should be reviewed. Ms. Kautenburg • Reviewed the reasons she chose to move to Sebastian. She said that a small town is not necessarily the size of the population, but it is an attitude. She stated this property will be developed, and the only way Sebastian can control and enjoy how the development affects Sebastian is by not saying no to this annexation and thus giving the control to someone else. • Regarding an annexation agreement, that does not fall within the purview of this Commission. That will be for City Council to decide. Ms. Kautenburg called for any further discussion. Hearing none, she then called for a motion. A motion to table the matter was made by Mr. Mauti, seconded by Mr. Alvarez. Roll Call Mr. Roth -- No Mr. Mauti (a) -- Yes Mr. Alvarez -- Yes Mr. Carter -- Yes Mr. Hughan -- Yes Ms. Kautenburg -- No Vote was 4 ayes and 2 nays. Mr. Stokes interjected that this Commission has an affirmative duty to either provide a recommendation or not provide a recommendation. If this matter is going to be tabled, the Commission must put on the record and direct staff as to what it is they need. Mr. Stokes also stated if this meeting is to continue, the Commission must make a motion to extend the meeting. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 13 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2019 Ms. Kautenburg called for a motion to extend the meeting for 30 minutes. A motion to extend the meeting for another 30 minutes was made by Mr. Alvarez, seconded by Mr. Roth. Roll Call Ms. Kautenburg -- Yes Mr. Carter -- Yes Mr. Mauti (a) -- Yes Mr. Roth -- Yes Mr. Hughan -- Yes Mr. Alvarez -- Yes Vote was 6-0 in favor. Motion carries. Ms. Kautenburg asked if the matter is tabled, whether it has to be tabled to a date certain. Mr. Stokes stated yes. Mr. Kautenburg asked if the Commission does not send a recommendation to City Council, will the matter will still appear on City Council's agenda and they act without a recommendation. Mr. Stokes answered that it will still appear. He further states that if this Commission doesn't want to vote on this matter, that will be deemed a recommendation against, and City Council will deal with it as if it were a recommendation against. Ms. Kautenburg called for a motion. A motion by Mr. Mauti was made that staff review the items presented by the two gentlemen from the County and the attorney, and from there this Commission will make a decision on the recommendation to City Council. Mr. Stokes reviewed that staff needs definite input as to what this Commission needs. Mr. Stokes stated before another motion is made, the prior motion to table this matter be withdrawn. Mr. Mauti motioned to withdraw his prior motion. Mr. Alvarez seconded the motion to withdraw the original motion. Roll Call Mr. Roth -- Yes Mr. Mauti (a) -- Yes Mr. Alvarez -- Yes Mr. Carter -- Yes Mr. Hughan -- Yes Ms. Kautenburg -- Yes Vote was 6-0 in favor. Motion carries. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 14 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2019 A motion to not send this matter to City Council was made by Mr. Mauti and seconded by Mr. Carter. Mr. Stokes stated that is not within the Commission's purview. The Commission cannot decide not to send it to City Council. It has to go to City Council with either a recommendation for approval or a recommendation for denial. A recommendation to deny approval was made by Mr. Mauti due to lack of information. Ms. Kautenburg called for a second. Hearing none, the motion died for lack of a second. A motion to send the matter to City Council with a recommendation to move forward, including the recommendations of staff, was made by Ms. Kautenburg and seconded by Mr. Roth. Roll Call Ms. Kautenburg -- Yes Mr. Hughan -- Yes Mr. Carter -- No Mr. Alvarez -- No Mr. Mauti -- No Mr. Roth -- Yes Vote was 3 ayes and 3 nays. Mr. Stokes informed the Commission that another motion was needed. Mr. Roth made a point that this Commission has been given the information and they should trust their elected leaders and their counsel to make a good decision, realizing that when it goes through, this Commission will then have the opportunity to look at the planned development and how that goes forward, which will control the face of that whole project. A motion was made by Mr. Roth to approve the Graves Brothers project on CR 510 with the staff recommendations on page 11 of the report, items a through j, and was seconded by Ms. Kautenburg. Roll Call Mr. Hughan -- Yes Ms. Kautenburg -- Yes Mr. Alvarez -- No Mr. Carter -- No Mr. Roth -- Yes Mr. Mauti -- No Vote was 3 ayes and 3 nays. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 15 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 2019 Mr. Stokes stated that a tie vote should be sent to City Council as a recommendation against approval. 8. Unfinished Business -- None 9. Public Input -- None 10. Commissioners Matters -- None 11. City Attorney Matters -- None 12. Staff Matters -- None 13. Adjourn -- Ms. Kautenburg called for any further business.
