Ordinance No. 0-21-23.
The City Manager explained that this is another Future Land Use Map Amendment for
Cross Creek Lake Estates. This property is 19.5 acres which is vacant and it's
compatible with the Cross Creek Lake Estates development. In November the Local
Planning Agency held a hearing and recommended that City Council adopt this FLUM
amendment.
Colleen Sherry, Cross Creek Lake Estates, respectfully asked if Council would refrain
from changing the zoning from Rural to Residential at this time. She would like to see

the developer develop the existing property properly before he is allowed to proceed
further with the other 19 acres.
Dr. Jeff Carrier, 461 Lanfair, said even though he would rather not have this area
developed he understands that it is inevitable and is glad that it is proposed for
development under low density. He said this proposed development could be a model
for the City. It's consistent with the Sustainable Sebastian Plan which Council approved
this summer. While reviewing the documents that were submitted by the developer he
noted some potential problems. One being something the developer mention which is
the inadequate access both ingress and egress particularly for an emergency. The
streets in the development are very small most of them are single lane -one way which
means access is terribly limited. Dr. Carrier understands that plats have not been
reviewed and it is premature for concerns but thought if Council is made aware of
potential problems ahead there would be an opportunity then for staff to work with the
developer and all parties could be satisfied.
The Mayor closed the public hearing at 6:42 pm.
The Mayor expressed that the issue being brought before Council tonight is the property
in the future being low density. This is not the right time to have a discussion regarding
the developer and their homeowner association.
Council Member Dodd reiterated that this is about zoning. He does have concerns
about the comments from the public tonight but all that Council is approving in this
particular item is that this property is going to be low density residential. Council is not
approving plats or exits and entrances as part of this item.
Council Member McPartlan said he doesn't feel comfortable going forward with the
approval of this Ordinance unless the questions and concerns from the residents have
been answered.
Attorney Warren Dill said at the Planning & Zoning meeting there were similar comments
He said he is concerned with their comments and is planning to work with staff and
possibly City Council at a meeting to address the concerns. Tonight that is not what is
before City Council; this is strictly an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.

The City Manager said a letter was received from the Board Members of the Senior

the Center. Staff thinks it would be appropriate to maintain the Center in order to
allow it to continue and function. It is a great place for our seniors to gather and
socialize. The City may also consider offering some different programs as well.

Sebastian and it is an asset we need to continue operating. He would support
directing the City Manager to work with staff and the seniors in coming up with a
consideration of the City maintaining the operation.

A. Council Member Nunn
Council Member Nunn informed the City Manager that he has been having discussions
with our Police Officers and one of the big concerns is with the application process. He
said it is an 86 page paper application that has to be completed by hand. He asked the
City Manager if there is a digital process available through one of our software programs
to assist with the process. He is hoping the digital process will get more officers to want
to apply and in turn, with more applications, we could hire more officers.
The City Manager said he would look into it.
B. Council Member Dodd
The Treasure Coast Regional League of Cities is currently working on their Legislative

consensus of Council to approve Council Member Dodd to attend the meeting in
