TAPE I - SIDE II (7:46 p.m.)

City Council Workshop
August 6, 1997
Page Three
The City Manager said there is an assumption that homeowners who disturb their swales should be
held accountable. A lengthy discussion followed on who parks in swales, what percentage of people
park in swales, whether or not most parking causes damage, the possibility of charging people who
damage swales, and designating problem areas as no parking zones. Following the discussion it was
decided to remove all of Section 98-31 from consideration of the ordinance until the attorney has a
chance to review it relative to the possibility of fining for swale damage.
Discussion of the rest of the ordinance continued. Mrs. Sullivan said she would rather limit
prohibition of parking in right-of-way to problem areas, disagreed with the police log, and suggested
posting signs at Riverview Park rather than using meters and posting that only boat trailers can use
double lanes for parking at the Yacht Club. The City Manager said these restrictions will be able to
be placed by the proposed Ordinance 0-97-55 which will allow designating no parking by
resolution.
Discussion followed on need for loading and unloading restrictions.
Mayor Barnes suggested putting a limit on the number of cars parked on a residential lot and referred
to 98-36(c). Following some discussion the City Manager said 98-36 and 98-31 are intricately
linked and suggested both of those sections be pulled and reworked after review by the City
Attorney. City Council concurred.
Mayor Barnes called recess at 8:30 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 8:45 p.m. All members were
present.
Mayor Barnes said he would like to see moving vans required to have cones around them while
loading/unloading.
The following members of the public addressed Council:
Sai Neglia, 461 Georgia Boulevard, Sebastian, discussed damage caused by trucks in the alley
behind his home parallel to CR512.
TAPE II - SIDE I (8:49 p.m.)
Tut Connelly, 149 Kildare Drive, Sebastian, said he was confused by Council's action on this
ordinance and urged them to move forward.
Harry Thomas, 654 Balboa Street, Sebastian, questioned several provisions of both p[oposed
ordinances and urged City Attorney review for constitutionality
Howard Geiger, 1026 Schumann Drive, Sebastian, asked what the rules would be where no swales
exist.

Louise Cuttenberg, 973 Oswego Avenue, Sebastian, objected to the parking prohibition and stated
her reasons.
Fred Meusing, 7580 129th Street, Sebastian, discussed disabled parking and the need for
enforcement.
Tommy Thompson, 125 Main Street, Sebastian, objected to notification of police for a gathering.
Ordinance O-97-ZZ
The Chief of Police suggested the following:
· 20A-5.16.C. 1. - add "rented or leased" after "owned" and perhaps add as a definition for
vehicle owner somewhere in the code
· 20A-5.16.C.3. - add "in any six month period" after "weeks." and language stating if there
is a sidewalk it cannot be blocked should be added.
· 20A-5.16.C.7. - change to "current and proper" registration
· 20A-5.16.C.4. - change instances of"is" to "should be" or "shall be"
There was a consensus to change 20A-5.16.1.C.(6) to 24 hours from 48 hours.
It was noted the effective date of this ordinance needs to be changed.
20A-5.16.C.3 - The Director of Community Development suggested deleting the second sentence.
20A-5.16.C.5. - Mrs. Cartwright said "is not" should be "shall not be"
Mrs. Cartwright expressed concern for limiting to two RVs. (20A-5.16.C.9) and instead
recommended better screening/fencing.
TAPE II - SIDE II (9:35 p.m.)
Mr. Paul, referencing 20A-5.16.C.9., objected to the limitation of the number of Rvs as long as they
are screened and said the meaning is not clear and referencing C. 13. said many Rvs are parked on
unimproved lots. The Director of Community Development suggested no more than two at a time.
Mrs. Sullivan said Council had compromised on allowing three Rvs at a previous workshop.
Mrs. Cartwright again said she had a problem with limiting the number of Rvs allowed.
Mayor Barnes asked that "no parking in fight-of-way" be added to 20A-5.16.D. and, referring to
20A-5.16.1.C.(4), asked whether length would be better in determining the size allowed. The City
Manager and Chief agreed that perhaps length would be better.

97.195 C.
Fred Mensing, 129th Street, Roseland, Said registration lists weight of truck and not carrying
capacity and said a 3/4 or 1 ton pickups could be up to 23 feet in length. The Director of
Community Development said staffwill come up with new language relative to length rather than
carrying weight of vehicles.
Mayor Barnes asked if 20A-5.16. I.D.(1) had to provide for a summons, to which the Director of
Community Development responded that he will get with the Chief and City Attorney because this is
a Code Enforcement matter.
Discussion came back to limiting.the number of Rvs allowed. Following further discussion, Mayor
Barnes said he would like to postpone this ordinance for now so he, and other members if they wish
to on their own, can drive around town and look at the need for screening and/or limitation and bring
it back to the next available workshop.
Howard Geiger, Schumann Drive, Sebastian, said the City should not step on the toes of people in
the RV storage/camping business; and reported a tractor trailer that parks on a lot offof Schumann
Drive.
Louise Cuttenberg, Oswego Avenue, Sebastian, asked for consideration of personal freedom relative
to guest RV parking;
At 10:30 p.m. there was consensus to extend the workshop to 11:00 p.m.
Combined Parking (Communi[y Development Director Transmittal 7/30/97)
Following a brief discussion on the use of and possible abuses of this provision a consensus poll was
taken on whether to delete this section or leave it in.
Mr. Barnes - delete
Mr. Taracka - delete
Mrs. Cartwfight - leave in
Mr. Paul - leave in
Mrs. Sullivan - delete
The Director of Community Development will bring back an ordinance.

SUMMARY
At the June 24, 1997 City Council Workshop, the City Council requested a workshop to discuss
the combined parking regulations.
This provision was in the original Land Development Code ordinance adopted August 28, 1985.
That provision stated:
7. Combined parking spaces. The required parking spaces for any number of
separate uses may be combined in one lot but the required spaces assigned
to one use may not be assigned to another use at the same time, except that
one-half of the parking spaces required for churches, theaters or assembly
halls whose peak attendance will be at night or on Sundays. Any joint use
of parking spaces 'on a pro-rated basis with a church, theater or assembly
hall must have a document of joint use signed by all parties concerned and
approved as binding by the city attorney.
That section was amended in 1988 by Ordinance O-88-17. The amended Sec. 20A-8.3.7. states:
A single parking area may be used to service more than one establishment
if the normal hours of operaion of the establishments do not overlap. If a
single parking area is so used, additional parking may be required as a
condition of continued occupancy at any time the hours of operation of the
establishments are altered to run during any concurrent period. Any joint
use of parking spaces on a prorated basis must have a document of joint
use signed by all parties concerned and approved as binding by the city
attorney.
This section has not been modified since then.
I have discussed this provision with Mr. Les Solin who authored the Land Development Code.~
He indicated that this provision was included to allow a parking lot to be shared by two entitie~
whose operating hours were different. This reduces the amount of impervious area, reduces the
amount of run-off and pollution from the city and increase the amount of open space.
I have had the staff research the number of time that this provision has been utilized. To the best
of my knowledge, this provision has been used twice. Once at Hurricane Harbor, where a party
boat used the parking during the day and the restaurant use was restricted. The second time was
at Captain Hiram's. This was in conjunction with the proposed hotel. It has never been
implemented there.
The regulations of this provision can been improved. One suggestion is to clearly state that the
shared parking must be pan of approved site plans for both establishments approved by the
Planning and Zoning Commission. Any modification to the use or size of the use at either
establishment would require a review of the shared parking by the Planning and Zoning
Commission. Termination of the shared parking should also require approval by the Planning and
Zoning Commission to assure that adequate parking exists after the termination.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Provide the staff with direction regarding any further revisions to the combined parking provision
of the land Development Code.

SUMMARY
At the June 24, 1997 City Council Workshop, the City Council requested a workshop to discuss
the regulation of mulching machines. The staff has contacted several manufacturers of mulching
machines to receive additional information so that we may accurately describe the machine and
establish safety distances. We do not want to inadvertently include small chipping machines used
by Florida Power and Light sub-contractors or home owners. We have not received all the
information at this time and will be prepared to make a presentation at the workshop.
At this time we are proposing that such mulching machines be regulated as a special use with
specific distance requirements as to setbacks from residential and public use areas such as schools
and parks. Such a use would be limited to industrial areas. Other requirements such as regulating
truck traffic and sound would be included.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Provide the staff with direction regarding the regulation of mulching machines.

SUMMARY
Special Use Permits are provided for in Section 20A-2.6. and are approved by the City Council.
A special use permit is allowed "in any district for a use which is not provided for in the zoning
regulations. All such uses shall not be otherwise illegal, shall not be specifically prohibited
pursuant to the comprehensive plan or other applicable law or regulations, and shall satisfy the
following required findings of fact by the City Council."
The required findings of fact axe:
"B. Required findings of fact. The City Council shall not grant any special use
permit under this section unless it shall make findings based upon the evidence
presented that:
The granting of the special use permit will not be detrimental to the
public safety, health or welfare or be injurious to other properties or
improvements within the immediate vicinity in wNch the property is
located; and
The use requested is consistent with the purpose and intent of the
respective district, and can be demonstrated to be similar in nature
and compatible with the uses allowed in such district."
Prior to the City Council review, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall hold a public hearing
to review and consider the application and make a recommendation to the City Council. In
granting special use permits under this section, the City Council may require such conditions as
will, in its' judgment, substantially secure the objectives and intent of the zoning regulations and
other components of the City's land development controls.
A Special Exception is provided for in Section 20A-11.2.C.2.b. and is approved by the Board of
Adjustment. A Special Exception means a use that would not be appropriate generally or without
restriction throughout the particular zoning district or classification, but which, if controlled as a ~
number, area, location or relation to the neighborhood, would not adversely affect the public.(Z-Pt/'At'
health, safety, comfort, good order, appearance, convenience, morals and the general welfare.
Such uses may be permitted in such zoning district or classification as Special Exceptions only if
specific provisions and standards for such Special Exceptions are in the zoning ordinance and are
met by the applicant.
Prior to granting any Special Exceptions, the Board of Adjustment shall adhere to the following
criteria:
PubBc interest upheld In granting any special exception, the Board of
Adjustment shall find that such grant will not adversely affect the public interest.
Conditions and safeguards may be imposed In granting any Special Exception,
the board may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards in conformity with
Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, the comprehensive plan, and any ordinance enacted
under it. Violation of such conditions and safeguards, when made a part of the
terms under which the special exception is granted, shall be deemed a violation of
the ordinance.
Time limitations may be imposed The Board of Adjustment may prescribe a
reasonable time limit within which the action for which the special exception is
required shall be begun or completed or both.
Coordinate determinations with Planning and Zoning commission. The board
shall confer with the Planning and Zoning commission in all cases involving
requests for special exceptions prior to rendering a decision.
I have asked the City Attorney to review this matter and she has indicated to me that a Special
Use Permit and a Special Exception are the same things. In some cases the terms were used
interchangeably~ It is therefore recommended that either the Special Use Permit or the Special
Exception provision of the Code be eliminated.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Provide the staff with direction regarding the deletion of the Special Use Permit provision or the
Special Exception provision of the Land Development Code.
