Hill Letter 8/2!lLo'~...Fl~M&Letter~ Cil:y Manager Memq. Map) John Hill, Craven Thompson & Associates, said that evaluation of thc City's flood zones was a part of his contract with the City and made a brief presentation on his report and exhibited a map indicating the areas he believed would be subject to flooding in a 100 year storm although, he said, not all lots would be involved based on their elevations. His report discussed drainage solutions for thc City such as actively engaging citizens in establishing priorities, allocating sufficient resources to restore drainage systems, adopting and supporting proper lot development regulations, continuing the City's alliance with St. Johns and thc Depamnent of Revenue, and introducing drainage programs. The City Manager presented a concept map showing six separate districts that could be designated as drainage districts with six members appointed from each district to a City Stormwater advisory committee to provide recommendations to City Council. Mr. Hill said FEMA has a program to pay for remapping, meanwhile, he said residents may want to consider flood insurance if their homes are low-lying. He said he believed that remapping would result in a much broader flood zone area. The City Manager said these items could be scheduled for upcoming meetings for action to allow some time for review by Council and additional information from staff. It was the consensus of Council to support the establishment of the advisory committee.

The Director of Community Development said the Land Development Code allows a concrete or masonry wall in residential. The City Manager said until such time as the code can be amended, the City could take a position to not approve or deny such requests. Harry Thomas, 654 Balboa Street, Sebastian, distributed newspaper articles from the Press Journal, regarding tourism and urged that only residents be allowed on city boards.

The City Attorney read Ordinance No. O-97-58 by title only and reported that she originally thought that staffhad recommended the inconsistency with the Comprehensive Plan but found it was the Land Planning Agency that had recommended it but did not explain its reasons. She said she was at a loss relative to inconsistency and had found no area of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan that dealt with shared parking. She said shared parking is a good tool, is not environmentally based, and that the regulations could be tightened up to address Council concerns. Mrs. Sullivan urged adoption of the ordinance to prohibit overdevelopment and suggested amendment to paragraph six to add after "such site" "owned by the building owner or use operator". The City Attorney said there are other mechanisms that can be used such as land lease th-party agreements. Mayor Barnes objected to shared parking because of overdevelopment. Mr. Paul suggested that perhaps if the Riverfront area is removed from the regulation or additional regulations are added, shared parking could be left in the code and disagreed with Mrs. Sullivan's amendment. Tom Collins, Captain Hirams, said shared parking is a good concept but could use amendment. He suggested that Council ask its staff and other professionals for a recommendation. Harry Thomas, 654 Balboa Street, Sebastian, addressed shared parking. The City Attorney said if paragraph six is changed, another first reading would have to be held. Mr. Paul recommended obtaining a staff recommendation. The City Attorney suggested that consultant Les Solin look at this provision and come up with a recommendation for suggested amendments to make the provision shared provision more workable.

Among thc most absurd are that the plan invites riverboat casinos to thc area (it doesn't) or that it will have the city buy land for exclusive business use (it won't). What could be next from the naysayers? Based on the logic they've used so far, we may end up hearing about these "insightful criticisms": · Lift to Disney. Orlando: The committee wants easy transportation around the riverfront, but the Community Coach bus service it mentioned is merely a code word for an above-ground, open-car monorail system that would link Sebastian to Or- lando at taxpayer expense. 0 Viva Las Vegas: "Old Florida Fishing Village Theme" suggests a caveat that would literally move the MGM Hotel -- amusement park and all -- from the fabled city of sin, Las Vegas, to Sebastian and be put on the west side of the river where the boating ramps are now located. ~ Start your engines: Historic preservation rec- ommendation actually means the historic preserva- tion of NASCAR racing, which will lead to a race track being built in the middle of the river on stilts to entice racing fans to the area. ~ Alien spaceship landing pad: Parking sugges- tions that the dastardly, nonresident committee members wrote will create such a facility to take advantage of the intergalatic tourist market -- at taxpayer expense! OK, OK. These go way over the edge, but none are based on any fewer facts than some remarks about the recommendations made during recent meet- ings. Here are our thoughts about committee crit- lclsms: If a claim about the plan sounds too ridicu- lous to be true, don't trust it; read the committee's report. The reference desk at the North County Li- brary is holding a copy for public review. Have a look, then decide whose claims are absurd. M NO. ROLL CAL~ 1 Mr. Taracka ~. B~es / I~M NO. ~s. S~v~ ~.

On July 17, the following report was reviewed with staff. We now want to update you, and receive your input and direction. Summary: The studies completed by CTA confirm earlier estimates that many areas of the Highlands I actually lie below the 100 year flood plain. These areas are shown in blue on the enclosed map (present FEMA flood zones are hatched in black.). I While these studies are not precise enough (because of lacking survey data) to submit to FEMA, they do indicate that there is a significant flood potential that must be addressed, by remedial I works and by informing the public so that they may make an informed decision regarding insurance needs. I The scope of remedial works (maintenance and improvements) is so large that it will take some years to complete; meanwhile, homeowners may wish to mitigate flood risk with insurance. I The flood be eliminated execution of the potential by can comprehensive maintenance and retrofit program, and capital improvements recommended by CTA in the Conceptual i Stormwater Master Plan. This includes: (1) restoration of ditches, canals and swales to design conditions, (2) enlargement of culverts, (3) replacement of dams, and (4) creation of a significant storage area (such as the stormwater park). I {Salient Limits of the Study: Without topo survey, the studies had to be based on the "GDC" drainage system, assuming 'as-designed, as-new' conditions. Due to the I deteriorated state of the systems, in some areas, flooding could be deeper. Because many homes are on a high fill, they could be out-of-risk.} I i X:\CIericaI\I995\950091\OT~FEMAFLOOD9-3-97.do¢ 08/27/97 2:54 PM CRAVEN THOMPSON & ASSOCIATES, INC.

Any course of action bears due consideration of the legal and financial consequences to the City and Citizens. The final, selected course of action will likely be a hybrid of the alternative possible actions: In any case, it seems appropriate to formally advise residents and property owners of the indicated flood potential. Alternative "A": Insure the Risk/Don't Fix the Problem This alternative places all responsibility directly on the residents and property owners to mitigate their flood risk with insurance. For those not currently in the "A" zone, the costs average $200 year; $400 for "A" zone homes, if FEMA decides to remap, or financially assist the City with remapping, more area is likely to be added to the "A" zones, so more homeowners will be paying the higher premium. Thus, if say, some 4,000 homes insure, the annual costs would be between $800,000 and $1,600,000, at today's rates. If the drainage is never fixed, then these costs for the property owner will go on indefinitely, and may rise according to FEMA's policy. Also, the safety, convenience, and environmental aspects of poor drainage will continue to degrade quality of life here. Alternative "B": Fix the Problems/Insure the Risk in the meantime Begin implementation of a comprehensive drainage maintenance and improvement plan, which, over a course of years (e.g., 7-10) would complete remedial maintenance and improvements, and thereby substantially eliminate the flood hazard zones. Based on CTA's Conceptual Plan level estimates, this work could be accomplished over a ten year period, with a maximum annual assessment of about $200 per year, per Highlands lot. After the works are complete, the maintenance costs would be stabilized at about $100 per lot per year. (1996 $'s). Some grants-in-aid are figured into the projections, but it is a 'pay as you go' program, without bonding or interests costs. This course of action will fix the problems permanently, and insure that the safety, convenience, and environmental aspects of the Sebastian lifestyle are preserved and enhanced. In the interim, many property owners may elect to insure the risk, as well. X \C er ca \ 995\95009 \07~FEMAFLOOD9-3-97,doc 08/27/97 2'54 PM CRAVEN THOMPSON & ASSOCIATES, iNC.

This mapping would also serve as a basis for interim flood insurance ratings, and provide a City-wide elevation standard benchmark for all construction · further consideration of implementation of a fair and equitable, manageable funding mechanism for the coming years, in order to fix the problems and set a stable maintenance program in place.

This work has been completed in connection with Task No.4 "Review FEMA Mapping for Highlands "A" Flood Zones, under Supplemental Agreement No.7 "SWMS-(Stormwater Management System-) Design Development Plans and Report. This work task calls for CTA to: (excerpted from S.A.7): "For certain areas of Sebastian Highlands now included in the FEMA "A " Flood Zone, Consultant shall determine, based on the Basin Hydrographs, if there is sufficient engineering data to pursue removal of those areas from the %1 "zone classification. This investigation will also include research as to the original determination basis, for use in the evaluation of current conditions. If Consultant advises City that there is sufficient data to pursue removal of certain "A " zones, City may separately direct Consultant to pursue removal of floodplain designations with FEMA. " CTA has completed this task and hereby submits this Summary Report; the final document will ultimately be incorporated into the SWMS Design Development documents. This Summary Report should be considered a draft report, which is subject to revision based on your input and directions with respect to these issues. Sincerely, iom~Associates, Inc. John V.

These studies have been completed, and this report is a summary of the findings and recommendations with respect to these flood plain issues. While there are recommendations from CTA included herein, determinations as to policy and interaction with FEMA are strictly within the domain of the City of Sebastian Staff and Council. Findings: The "A" zones within the Highlands were evaluated based on soils mapping and aerial imagery for the predevelopment conditions, at some mapping date prior to the May, 1989 maps revision for Indian River County. These "A" zones correspond to soil types and aerial mapping signatures for chronically wet areas. Most likely, there was no hydraulic modeling made for the areas, so that no elevations for flooding (BFE's) were established. The (1989) mapped flood zones along the South Prong Creek were based on limited study with minimal channel transects and a large-scale upstream hydrologic analysis that provided limited precision with respect to flood levels along the channel. Observed flooding .from the October, 1993 storm and recorded flood data from the October, 1994 storms (both ~ 7 year storms), confirm that the FEMA projections for mapping along the South Prong Creek are lower than those that should be expected in the South Prong during the 100 year event. South Prong flood elevations, based on observed data, may be as much as 3 feet higher than the FEMA 1989 study reflect.

City of Sebastian Stormwater Management System - Design Development FEMA Flood Zone Mapping for Sebastian Highlands Summary Report to the City: July 15, 1997 Page 2 Findings: (continued) In certain of these "A" zones, evaluation of drainage improvements installed with development, and ground-truthed evaluation of the topography and soils types, if submitted to FEMA, might result in a reduction of those "A" zone areas. According to the State of Florida Department of Community Affairs-Bureau of Recovery and Mitigation, the recommended procedure would be through FEMA's "Limited Map Maintenance Program". This program is 'designed to provide prompt solution to small problem areas.., not as substitute for a complete restudy". CTA's (unrectified) analysis of the potential 100 year flood elevations reflects a much larger areas that would be subject to indndation in the 100 year reoccurrence-24 hour duration rainfall event. Although this model is based on 'as-built' topography and certain assumed conditions, the range of precision is sufficient, in CTA's judgment, to indicate that there are large areas of the Highlands that might justifiably be added to the flood hazard zone. Conclusions: a) b) c) There are certain small areas in the Highlands, currently mapped as indeterminate "A" zones that the City might reasonably expect FEMA to remove from the flood hazard area, under a request for "Limited Map Maintenance Program" revisions based on the facts that: the mapping was based on old, predevelopment aerial imagery and soils mapping the 'removable' areas mapped are now developed with a drainage system the 'removable' areas are higher than the predominant elevations in the Highlands CTA's hydrologic analysis and observed data are sufficiently precise to indicate that there may be considerably more areas to add to the flood hazard areas in the Highlands. Part of the data that may be required by FEMA, even for the "Limited Map Maintenance Program" are: hydraulic computations and accurate topographic data based on survey. Because of the lack of accurate field topography and existing conditions data, CTA cannot at this time certify the extent of the flood hazard area. The "Conceptual Stormwater Management Master Plan" (CTA; 1996) concepts, when fully executed, would be able to eliminate the flood hazard areas within the Highlands, with one additional requirement. Because of the flood potential along the South Prong, it may be necessary to berm or dike the areas west of Laconia lying below elevations 17+ NGVD. Once improvements are completed, the City may then appropriately request FIS map revisions.

City of Sebastian $tormwatcr Management System - Design Development FEMA Flood Zone Mapping for Sebastianttighlands Summary Report to the City: July 15, 1997 Page 3 Recommendations for Consideration by Staff and Council: Before any request is made for a flood hazard area reduction, careful analysis should be made by the City with respect to the City's liability v. insurance cost reduction and, respectively, the Citizens' risk exposure v. insurance cost reduction. An immediate evaluation should be made of the City's policy with respect to construction in the current flood hazard zones, and with respect to the City policy for Base Flood Elevation in the indeterminate "A" zones. Inasmuch as there is Citizen and Council interest in the implications of the flood hazard area mapping, the City's selected co, se of action with respect to area additions and deletions should be well communicated to the public through an outreach program. Basis of Study - Assumptions and Limitations: Ground elevations and hydrographic model are based on original engineering plans as obtained from various sources including archives of General Development Company, the City of Sebastian and others. No field survey to verify topography, location, size or maintenance conditions of any facilities was conducted as part of this study. All drainage features including canals, ditches, culverts and the like were input into the model based on engineering plans which source is cited above. No field survey to verify topography, location, size, or maintenance conditions of any facilities was conducted. Hydrologic model data were input based on typical sub-basins which were deemed representative of average actual field conditions. Basin runoff contribution computation based on built-out basins as they currently exist with an assumed 40% build-out level. Storm model for these purposes was a 24 hour duration - 100 year reoccurrence rainfall event with a total rainfall of 12 inches in 24 hours, with an SCS Type III rainfall intensity distribution as approved by Saint John's River Water Management District.

City of Sebastian Stormwater Management Sys~m - Design Development FEMA Flood Zone Mapping for Sebastianttighlands Summary Report to thc City: July 15, 1997 Page 4 Basis of Study - Assumptions and Limitations: (continued) Outfall conditions at the South Prong Creek were modeled based on the FEMA flood profiles from the 1987 Study for South Prong Creek, with adjustment based an arithmetic progression calibrated from observed data of the storm on November 1994 and confirmed by photographic evidence provided by citizens with respect to flooding conditions after the fall 1993 storm (both events ~ 7 year storm). While this assumption may be conservatively elevated, there is insufficient data to justify a lower assumption, and CTA deems the observed data more significant than the limited 1989 study of the South Prong Creek basin. No modeling of flood condi~tions or impacts from coastal storm surge conditions was performed as it is outside the scope of this work. Certain adjustments were made to input data to accommodate requirements particular to the computer model prototype selected for this study. Included in these adjustments was the assumption that the Elkcam Dam would not be breached, nor would Concha Drive provide a stormflow outlet because of potential residential construction. The computer model base for this study is the "Advanced interconnected Pond Routing Program" which is approved for these studies by St. John's River Water Management District and accepted by FEMA. ely, homp~n & Associates, Inc. 11, P.E.

Federal Emergency Management Agency Washington, D.C, 20472 The Honorable Walter W. Barnes Mayor City of Sebastian 1225 Main Street Sebastian, FL 32958 Dear Mayor Barnes: I I I i I I I I I I I When your community entered the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), local officials agreed to comply with Section 59.22 of the NFIP regulations and submit information to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), describing the progress made on the knplementation of floodplain management measures. As a supplement to this requirement and in accordance with Section 575 of the 1994 National Flood Insurance Reform Act (NFIRA), FEMA is gathering information to assess the floodplain mapping needs in your community. Section 575 of NFIRA mandates that: Once during each 5 years, the Director shall assess the need to revise and update all floodplain areas and flood risk zones identified, delineated, or established under this section [1360 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968], based on an analysis of all natural hazards affecting flood risks. The purpose of Section 575 is to ensure that all NFIP maps are reviewed for potential updates or revisions at least once every 5 years. This is an oppommity for you to submit any additional data regarding the map needs for your community. If you believe your community's NFIP map should be updated to include changes such as new or revised hydrologic and hydraulic data, topographic information, base flood elevations, floodplain or floodway boundary delineations, Elevation Reference Marks, street locations or names, and corporate limits, please bring them to our attention within 45 days of the date of this letter. Please inform us if you have flooding losses due to specific events, if there are areas of flooding which need to be extended on the maps, and if there are any unnumbered A Zones which need to be studied in detail. If you feel your maps are accurate and require no updates or revisions, you do not need to respond to this letter. To ensure the efficiency and accuracy of this review, information concerning the potential mapping updates or revisions should be as specific as possible. Upon receiving any information you might provide, we may contact you for clarification. Once all map update needs for your community are identified, they will be input into a database that FEMA has developed. We will use the data to assess and rank the map updates and revisions of your community relative to other communities in the country. FEMA's initiation of revisions to your community's maps will be based on this ranking and the availability of funding. I If you have any mapping information, please send that information to our Technical Evaluation Contractor, who will be assisting the FEMA Regional Office with this assessment. Please include with that information, the name and telephone number of a contact person for your community. In addition, please inform us if you have any digital data (Geographic Information System) available for updating or revising your maps, and include the name and telephone number of a contact person responsible for that information.

Frame, City Manager Subject: Stormwater/Drainage Advisory Committee As a result of the existing conditions of the existing drainage infrastructure needs and other improvements that may be needed as a result of current and future studies, a significant financial impact is anticipated. Regardless of the final outcome, very difficult decisions are going to have to be made. These decisions shall involve major expenditures, various proposed improvements, and funding alternatives. These decisions will require the support of the residents of Sebastian in order be successful. In order to obtain this "buy-in" from the public, they must have an increased role in the decision making process. To accomplish this task, I am recommending that the Council consider the establishment of citizen advisory committee to consult with city staff and develop recommendations on various issues associated with stormwater and drainage matters. The concept Would be to divide the City into approximately six (6) conceptual areas or districts as depicted on the attached map. The Council would appoint five (5) representatives to each area or district. The appointees would be required to be a resident within the determined boundaries of each area or district. This would result in thirty (30) total appointments. With an alternate to each area, a total of thirty-five (35) citizens would have a major role in developing recommendations to the Council relative to drainage matters. The appointed area committees would work with the staff in developing and proposing work plans for their individual areas. The final recommendations would be brought to the Council via a committee composed of the chairpersons of each of the individual area committees. The obvious problems associated with this proposal is that is would be somewhat cumbersome initially, however, as the committees and staff be accustomed to the process, it should become a very workable process. Considering the scope and costs of such needs, there needs to be a process that the public supports and trusts. This proposal as a minimum provides a significant citizen involvement process. :.:'~_- .--::---' :': ': .-:--,-: ' [ .~w~.C.

City Council Workshop August 20, 1997 Page Two 97.124 97.202/ 96.009 ~ORKSHOP ITEMS PresentatiOn by Rick Stouts, Department of Community Affairs- Community Development Block Grant (Director of Comm~tnity I~v¢lc!pnjqr~t Transmittal 8/14/97) Rick Stouts, Planning Director, Community Development Block Grant Program, Department of Community Affairs, gave a presentation on the City's grant, the method for grant application scoring, and the dilemma the City faces if it chooses to use the funds in other categories which do not have equal scoring. He advised that the City must maintain its score since it was the lowest of all agencies funded and offered his assistance. Mr. Stouts said this grant project must be completed before another block grant is applied for, at which time the City Manager informed Council that the City's best shot at a neighborhood block grant will be 1999; said funds are available now and when design is approved by DCA and bidding is completed, the funds, which are currently in the federal treasury, can begin to be used. He urged the City to move forward on the grant and said most downtown revitalization grant projects are completed in 18 to 24 months. The City Manager said the proposed sidewalk on Indian River Drive is expected to begin in Spring 1998. The Director of Community Development said the block grant project should begin in late winter/early spring. Mr. Stouts said he had met with the City's grant administrator, Robert Johnson and a DCA staff attorney and verified that the $45,000 expended by the City for the Yacht Club improvement can be paid back to the City, if requested by the City, in a contract amendment, to treat those funds as an eligible pre-agreement cost. Review Ri_vcrfr. gnt A~visory Committee Recommen&lii_on on Riverffont Advisory Plan (Director of Community De. vdqpment Transmittal 8/14/97, Action Plain.) Don Smith, Vice Chairman, Riverfront Committee, expressed his appreciation to members of his committee for their work and City Council for their vision. He gave a brief overview of the effort made by the committee in the last 15 months to work with the public and to maintain public wishes as it prepared the recommended plan of action. He briefly reviewed the Statement of Principles included in the plan and requested the plan be acted upon and not shelved. The Director of Community Development briefly reviewed the recommended plan of action, including theme, principles, goals and recommended ordinances amending the Land Development Code relative to architectural standards, signs, landscaping, and parking; Zoning; and Comprehensive Land Use Plan. TAPE I - SIDE II (7:48 p.m) 2 I I' I I I I I I I i I I I I I i I I City Council Workshop August 20, 1997 Page Three He recommended a Riverfront Performance Overlay District containing mixed use zoning, exhibited maps of the proposed districts within the larger district and recommended that citizen input and a permanent Riverfront Committee be maintained to continue with feedback. He said he will make additional copies to place in the library and make copies available to the public for purchase. In response to Mrs. Cartwright, the Director of Community Development said the plan will probably be corrected however Council chooses and then be accepted at a regular meeting and the proposed ordinances will go to Planning and Zoning for hearing prior to coming back to City Council. She said although she didn't like every part of every ordinance, it was a good report and accurate in representing the public consensus. Mr. Taracka said he would like to see the ordinances move forward_ Mrs. Sullivan expressed concern for the concept of mixed use zoning which would allow commercial buildings next to residences; proposed zero setback lines; building height; coordination with the Florida Inland Navigation District and including the Indian River in the district which she said could open up the area to gambling ships later on; and the proposed parking trust fund. Mr. Smith responded it was not the intent of the committee to allow gambling ships and if Council wished to add that prohibition to the plan it should do so; that the intent of the mixed use zoning is to capture what is currently occurring in the district; that the par-king trust is not intended to let developers off' the hook; TAPE [[ - SIDE I (8:35 p.m.) building heights were held at 35 feet; and zero setback lines promote pedestrian traffic in certain areas of the district where shops are located. Mayor Barnes called recess at 8:40 p.m. and reconvened the workshop at 8:52 p.m. All members present at roll call were present when the meeting reconvened. It was the consensus of City Council to schedule another wor 'kshop for September 8th to ~nher review the plan and move forward_ Mayor Barnes said he would like to wrap up the plan and move forward quickly but needed a little more time for review and to visualize the plan. Sal Neglia, 461 Georgia Boulevard, Sebastian, asked that the next workshop be held on September 15th because of a Property Owners meeting on September 8th. City Council Workshop August 20, 1997 Page Three Carolyn Corum, 881 Dolores Street, Sebastian, member of Riverfront Advisory Committee, said the committee had not had time to review landscaping, roofs, and windows prior to them being placed in the plan and was concerned that those sections did not include the words "encourage", "discourage", "allow", and "prohibif'. She said the Florida Yards and Neighborhood Group had made a presentation to the Riverfront Committee, had recommended obtaining a list of plants and trees recommended for use in this area, which could then be referred to in the ordinance and adopted by resolution. She requested that a new paragraph be included in the first proposed ordinance "The Florida Yards and Neighborhood concept of landscaping is encouraged". Mayor Barnes suggested that she come with appropriate wording and bring it back to the next workshop or to staff'for inclusion in the packet. She said she will obtain the recommended list for Cotmeil consideration. Mrs. Corum went on to suggest that regulation of"for sale" signs be addressed. It was decided to consider September 15th for the workshop rather than September 8th. Mrs. Cartwright said she would check her schedule and contact the City Manager the next day. Steve Wild, 607 Davis Street, Sebastian, member of Riverfront Advisory Committee, said the committee had never considered allowing gambling ships and distributed photos of a business in Stowe, Vermont using a monument sign and conforming building design. Joe ?, said Sebastian is a ghost town and needs no more commercial and that Council should be more concerned with other areas of the City. Fred Meusing, 129th Street, Roseland, said the plan reflects the uses and look of an old fishing village. Don Smith thanked City Manager, Tom Frame; Director of Community Development, Bob Massarelli; City Planner, Tracy Hass; and Secretaries Ann Brack and Dawn Corapi for their efforts. Mayor Barnes thanked the Committee and all involved with the report and said he hoped more members of the public attend the next workshop. 5. Being no further business, Mayor Barnes adjourned the Workshop at 9:25 p.m. Approved at the ,1997, Regular City Council Meeting. Kathryn M. O'Halloran, CMC/AAE City Clerk Walter W.

The' parade route has not yet been decided and could be shorter then the route used last year, however it would be on Indian River Drive into Riverview Park. The costume judging would be held on our big trams-stage in the park so we would also need the use of electricity. Last year, we worked very closely with both the Sebastian Police Department in planning the parade route amd the Sebastian Chamber of Commerce in securing business partners for the event, and plan to do the same for this year's parade. We were so pleased with the support from the Sebastian Community last Halloween amd expect this year to be even bigger and better.

They will then m~rch, with a police car leading, SOuth on Indian River Drive to the park at Fellsmere Rd. & Indian River Dr. At the park there will be a judging of the costUmes, awards, etc., then they will leave the area with their parents so the kids can go trick or treating.

Sernc of the strip mnli~ on U.S. I where there is shared paring, for example the Exercise plac~ that was tn close at 6:00 P.M. aud didn't do it, macl~ it impossible to park them. He felt the Ora~nc~ was a bad one and should be repealed. Mr. Massarelli explained thc issue of shared pax~ng to Mr. Thom~_% and noted thnt scveraI bus/ncsses shar/~ a common park~ ar~a is not shared park~.

Settles, City Attorney City of Sebastian Obcrbeck & Associates 1013 U.S. Highway 1 Sebastian, FL 32958 Dear Mr. Oberbeck: As a follow-up to our conversation and tour regarding the modification to the medians located within U.S. 1, I discussed the matter with Ms. Martha Campbell, City Engineer, who immediately contacted Roger Cain, County En~neer. Mr. Cain had indicated that he had been contacted by a county commissioner which was most likely in response to your call to a county commissioner. Apparently, following a me~ting between county representatives and various property owners and interests groups in Sebastian regarding improvements to the C.tL 512 corridor, neither the county nor the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) ever reported to the City the final proposals for median modifications. It appears that the state using its permitting authority required indian River County to make the current proposed modifications. As I indicated to you during our meeting, it has been common place for the FDOT to limit access through the use of " medians. For your convenience, I have attached a copy various pieces of correspondence between the FDOT and the county with dates in August, September and?ctober 1994. In late I996, in reviewing various access issues associated with the CAVCORP site, it was discovered by present staffthat there were si~ificant modifications affecting access and turning movements on U.S. 1. In response, staff obtained a copy of the design plans depicting the alterations. Based on the findings within those designs, I directed staff to prepare an item for discussion before the City Council (see January 2, 1997 memo to City Council from Robert Massarelli). The matter was discussed by the Council at the January 8, 1997 meeting, and I have enclosed a copy of those minutes. As to the concern that the City staffwas responsible for this problem, please be advised that current staff became involved w/th the Metropolitan Plann/ng Organization (MPO) and various county public works coordination marten upon the departure of the former public works director. Currently Ms. Martha Campbell is coordinating very closely with Mr. Roger Cain, County, Eng~eer. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I i Mr. Cain has explained the issue to Ms. Campbell and apparently feels that due to the FDOT not providing additional information to the affected parties within Sebastian, there is a potential oppommity to provide for a mm around at the median cult presently located at Washington Street. There would not however, be a let% urn onto U.S. 1 from Washington Street. The City of Sebastian will continue to monitor and discuss these matters with representatives of Indian River County. If you feel that you would like to discuss these matters directly with Ms. Campbell, please feel free to call and discuss the issue directly with her. Sincerely, Thomas W.
