The City Attorney read the title to Ordinance No. 0-21-03 and Mayor Dodd opened the
public hearing at 6:23 p.m. The Community Development Manager said this was in
regard to a law signed off by the Governor last July stating communities could not
prohibit mobile food trucks in municipalities as well as not require registration, permit
fees or regulation fees so the language presented is what would be codified into City
code.
She explained that if there is a food truck connected with a city sponsored event on
public property, they would follow the parks and recreation (Leisure Services'
Resolution) guidelines for the event. If there is a private event such as the Catholic
Church's flea market, the food truck guidelines would fall under that special event permit;
this ordinance would cover all other food trucks such as the trucks at the breweries on
the weekend to provide health and safety guidelines and follow appropriate zoning uses.
Derek Gerry, Mash Monkeys Brewing Company expressed his support and appreciation
for this ordinance.
Carl Stephenson, food truck operator, also supported the ordinance.

B. QUASI-JUDICIAL PUBLIC HEARINGS
i. VARIANCE EXTENSION REQUEST - SEMBLER MARINA PARTNERS, LTD.,
IN REGARDS TO AN ADDITIONAL PROPOSED OVERWATER RESTAURANT
TO BE LOCATED AT 1660 INDIAN RIVER DRIVE (SQUID LIPS & MARINA),
HAS REQUESTED AN EXTENSION FOR A VARIANCE THAT WAS GRANTED
ON MAY 8T", 2019 TO ALLOW MEASUREMENT OF THE PROPOSED
RESTAURANT BUILDING HEIGHT TO BEGIN FROM THE FINISH FLOOR
ELEVATION INSTEAD OF THE FEMA BASE FLOOD ELEVATION, AND
WHICH VARIANCE WAS GRANTED CONDITIONALLY THAT
CONSTRUCTION OF THE RESTAURANT BUILDING MUST BEGIN WITHIN 24
MONTHS FROM DATE OF APPROVAL. CONSTRUCTION HAS NOT BEGUN
AND THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A TIME EXTENSION. (Transmittal,
2019 Order, Email Request, Timeline, 2019 Minutes) (PJ Ad 4/27/2021)
Chairman Dodd opened the hearing at 6:34 pm and the City Attorney read the title of the
extension request.
Chairman Dodd and Mr. Nunn said they drove by the site but didn't get out of the car.
The City Clerk swore in all who would be providing testimony.
Ryan McLean, MBV Engineering, Inc., project manager said construction has not begun
because of the lengthy permitting process; he has been working diligently and asked the
board to grant the extension on the project which has been previously approved.
The Community Development Manager briefly went over the 2019 order where the first
three conditions have been met; the use has not changed; it is just condition number
four that hasn't been met because as they have been going through the development
order, issues have come up that require another revision and review. The applicant did
ask for another extension and staff feels 180 days would allow staff to continue the
review to get the site plan before the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Chairman Dodd asked if the variance would carry into the construction phase. The
Community Development Manager replied the intent was to hopefully get the site plan
approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission, then the applicant would get the
building permit in and begin construction within 180 days.
Mr. Jones asked the applicant what assurance the City had that the project will go
forward. Mr. McLean said he and the owner have invested a considerable amount of
time and money in the project and plan to continue full speed ahead.
There was no one to speak for or against the extension request. Chairman Dodd closed
the public hearing at 6:45 p.m.
MOTION by Mr. Nunn and SECOND by Mr. Jones to grant the extension request for
another 180 days from the date of granting the extension today, May 12, 2021.

ii. VARIANCE APPLICATION - SEMBLER MARINA PARTNERS, LTD, IN
REGARDS TO AN ADDITIONAL PROPOSED OVERWATER RESTAURANT TO
BE LOCATED AT 1660 INDIAN RIVER DRIVE (SQUID LIPS & MARINA), AND
WHICH STRUCTURE IS LOCATED WITHIN A FLOOD HAZARD AREA AND
REQUIRES A BUILDING PERMIT, IS REQUESTING RELIEF FROM FLORIDA
BUILDING CODE SECTION 1612.4; WHEREBY THE MINIMUM ELEVATION
REQUIREMENT FOR A BUILDING LOCATED IN A COASTAL HIGH HAZARD
FLOOD ZONE IS BASE FLOOD ELEVATION PLUS 1 FOOT TO THE LOWEST
HORIZONTAL MEMBER OF AN EXISTING STRUCTURE THAT IS BEING;
SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVED. THE BOTTOM OF THE LOWEST
HORIZONTAL MEMBER OF THE EXISTING STRUCTURE IS +7.6 FEET AND
THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT IS +8.0 FEET. (Transmittal, Staff Report,
Exhibits A-E, Application) (PJ Ad 4/27/2021)
The City Attorney read the request and Chairman Dodd opened the hearing at 6:48 p.m.
There was no ex-parte communication or site visits to disclose by the board members.
The City Clerk swore in all who would provide testimony.
Ryan McLean, MBV Engineering, Inc., civil engineer for the project, said at the time of
construction, FEMA, flood zone, and building code requirements were at a different
state; now when developing in a velocity zone, the structure carries the traditional
elevation plus an additional one foot over the free board over the lowest structural
member. In this case the lowest structure is at elevation 7.6 and he has provided
documentation stating there is no structural concern and he supports staff's
recommendation.

system which provides insurance reductions to numerous residents in the City.
The Building Official explained the City participates in the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) and the Community Rating System (CRS) so that residents may be
eligible for discounts of up to 20% on their flood insurance premiums. Although the code
provides for variances, it is highly discouraged because this might affect the City's
standing with the Community Rating System.
He said the proposed restaurant is a substantial improvement meaning its value is more
than 50% of the existing structure without the land so the structure must meet the base
flood elevation plus one foot of free board which is .4 ft. too low to comply with current
code. It would be infeasible to elevate or relocate the structure which is what NFIP
would recommend and is deemed uninsurable by the CRS. The Building Official
explained the City would not have to include anything uninsurable upon CRS
recertification and the owner will have a hard time obtaining flood insurance and if he
did, it will be extraordinarily high.
The City Manager said staff didn't have a good feel of how this might affect the CRS rate
but they might be able to recover a lost point or two with additional work. The Building
Official said Rebecca Quinn, consultant for the state, did advise that there is an avenue
the City could pursue.
There was no one to speak in favor or against the variance request.
The Building Official said since the structure cannot be relocated or elevated and it is
only encroaching 4 and % inches into the extra foot of free board that wasn't required in
the 90's when it was built, he felt it was structurally sound; and as long as it didn't hurt
the City's NFIP and CRS ratings he felt the City was in good shape.
The City Attorney asked that staffs three conditions noted on page 203 be part of they
motion and the staff report and application would be made part of the record. The City
Manager asked the time period start 180 days from today.
MOTION by Mr. McPartlan and SECOND by Mr. Nunn to approve the variance and
request in conjunction with the previously approved extension with staff's three
recommendations:
a. Should the building become substantially damaged or substantially
improved, as defined by the Florida Building Code, this variance will no
longer be in effect.
b. Proof that the variance is recorded by applicant in the office of the
clerk of the court in such a manner that it appears in the chain of title of
the affected parcel of land.
c. Variance shall remain in effect provided construction has commenced
within 180 calendar days from the date the variance is granted.

Chair Mitchell finished up the presentation by explaining the proposed changes to Sec.
4.12 and Sec. 4.14 and asked Council to forward the proposed questions to the
electorate. She thanked the Charter Officers and staff of the Clerk's office for their work
on the review.
The City Attorney cited Code Sec. 5.03, "... The city council may by ordinance submit
any or all of the recommended amendments to the electors for vote at the next general
election held within the city or at a special election called for said purpose."
Mayor Dodd asked if the word criminal could be added to the ballot question on page
243 to trigger a suspension hearing based on a criminal misdemeanor charge. The City
Attorney advised that at this point, Council could accept any or all of the committee's
recommendations but not make any changes.
Council Member Nunn noted for clarity, the key word may in the phrase may be
suspended might give Council the right to suspend them if it is not a criminal
misdemeanor.
Mayor Dodd asked to move the proposed amendments forward individually so they
might discuss them at that time.

18. CITY COUNCIL MATTERS
A. Council Member Jones asked if the City Manager could look into the veterans'
parking spot program. The City Manager advised that it did fall within his purchasing
purview and he planned to move forward with a couple of spots by the handicapped
spots at City Hall.
B. Council Member McPartlan stated the Veterans Council of Indian River does want to
come to do a presentation at a future meeting because they have many programs
available to help veterans with their home repairs; in addition there might be veterans
living on the riverfront that might be eligible for the Septic to Sewer Program.
Council Member McPartlan asked if there was any resolution for the group that came to
Council regarding the lighting on Faith Terrace. He said he visited the street and the
lights were quite bright. The City Manager stated the police department did go out there
late in the evening and the lights were off; two other residents have the exact same
lights and those residents weren't concerned with them. He said he received information
regarding quality of life that wouldn't affect this issue. He stated a "spill over light"
ordinance could be considered but they would have to be careful of how that would
affect street lights.

Council Member McPartlan asked to bring back the working waterfront lease with Crab E
Bills whereby the City received over $2.5M for the project and if the tenant were to leave,
the City would have to make major improvements to the building to keep it in compliance
with the covenant the City has with the state. He said if improvements are made, the
City could receive more rent. He asked that the lease be brought back to Council for
review.
Mayor Dodd agreed they are now in the maintenance phase of the working waterfront
which would have to be a substantial annual budget item because the building has a lot
of problems. He said it would be a good opportunity to look at the lease and the
parameters under which they have to maintain the property.
The City Manager said the Community Development Director has budgeted for a study
of what it will take to bring the building up to standards. Council Member Jones stated
that he has walked the property and it will take some money to fix that place up.
Council Member McPartlan stated the tenant has replaced two of the air conditioner
units at $6,000 apiece and the third is gone which will be $15,000-17,000 and the ceiling
is falling into the walk-in freezer.
There was consensus to accelerate the study to see what is needed. The City Manager
said the total cost would be good to see if it was feasible to restore the building and how
that would affect the working waterfront grant agreement.
D. Mayor Dodd said what the Governor signed to end the State of Emergency didn't
change much except the authority of local governments to do anything so if there are
COVID outbreaks they will be local; and municipal governments are prohibited from
responding to local outbreaks. He asked that if a business asks people to wear a mask
to be courteous and wear the mask or don't go in the business.
Mayor Dodd said everything he is hearing is that people are no longer getting vaccinated
and they need to get 70% of the population vaccinated to achieve herd immunity. He
asked everyone to please get vaccinated.
E. Vice Mayor Hill - absent
C. Council Member Nunn asked for more than two veterans parking signs, suggesting
some at the waterfront and the ball fields.
Council Member Nunn thanked the Charter Review Committee for their amazing job.
He also thanked the citizens for coming tonight and asking questions.
He said a mandate never stopped someone from wearing a mask and asked everyone
to be respectful of each other's choices.
19. Being no further business, Mayor Dodd adjourned the Regular City Council meeting at
8:12 p.m.

Please summarize special skills, qualifications, or education you have acquired for this appointment:
(Your resume, professional certifications or designations may be attached.)
I possess a Master's Decree and a Ph.D. from the Universitv of Miami with decrees in Marine Biolocv and a minor
in Chemistrv. I have studied elements of conservation and management for more than 50 vears with research based in
the Florida Kevs. I have published more than 25 papers in th_e_scientific literature, have completed six books. and have
presented more than 50 oaoers to national and international scientific meetings. I have recently moved my research
from the Kevs to the Indian River Lagoon and have an abiding interest in the health and wise management of our local
resources and natural environments. A current resume is appended.
Why do you want to serve on this board?
Maintaining healthy environmental systems through wise use of natural resources and management strategies that
recognize best practices is the only prudent stratecv to insure the continued healthy existence of the uniaue ecosystem
that is the Indian River Lagoon system. Recent changes in the Citv's management of biological pests have created and
even compounded environmental insults. These actions combined with questionable management of south Florida
water management systems have imperiled the health of the local_aauatic resources. My continuina research depends
upon a healthv environment and I believe my experience and expertise could contribute to developing strategies to
successfully address these concerns.
Do you presently serve on another City Board or Committee? NO
If yes, please list:
Have you previously served on any other City Board or Committee? NO .
If yes, please list: While I have not served on Sebastian boards or committees. I have served previously as a City Council

all rights for claims for damages and injuries I may suffer while performing or after performing volunteer services for the

From John Danise
Reference: Expiration of Term on Parks & Rec Advisory Committee:
Hi Jeanette,
Thanks for reminder of term ending May 31; yes I would like to
continue to serve.
The only thing different on the information you have in my, "Who is
John Danise" is that as of this past October, 301h I no longer do the
podcast and I no longer a regular writer for Florida Tennis Magazine.
Since Covid canceled the District 15 NJTL 10 and under program, I am
no longer the Tennis Director. While Bobbie and I are always willing to
volunteer our services, we would not be willing to run the organization
as in past years, if the Not For -Profit formed again.
Please let me know if Isl�o uid dq anything Ise. Thanks again for your
reminder.
Respect f Ily John L Danise Jr.
