SUMMARY STATEMENT
At its regular meeting of August 11, 1993, City Council directed staff to
solicit bids for storm covers for the windows and doors of City Ball.
For your reference, the storm cover specifications have been attached.
The base bid required a minimum thickness of .040" aluminum, and the
alternate bid required a thicker .050" aluminum. The bid tabulation sheet
shows all bids received, broken down by floor for each thickness.
Staff has reviewed the engineering specifications and samples supplied by
Florida Shutters, Inc. (the low bidder). Only the .050 thickness will
meet the specified 140 m.p.h, windload for all sizes of windows when using
vertical span panels. As a cost saving factor, staff also considered
using horizontal span panels on the smaller windows. However, horizontal
panels are more difficult to install, which staff felt was an significant
feature and therefore would not warrant the cost savings.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Move to award the storm cover contract to Florida Shutters,. inc. for the
alternate bid (.050" aluminum) in the amount of $10,058.00.

SUMMARY STATEMENT
At its regular workshop meeting of July 7, 1993 the City Council reviewed the
third draft of the tree protection ordinance and sent it to the City Attorney
for preparation of an ordinance.
Ordinance 0-94-05 amends the landscape ordinance in order not to be in
conflict with the tree protection ordinance (0-94-06).
The following items are the basic changes to the tree protection ordinance:
The elimination of specimen trees (20 inch in diameter or greater) to
obtain approval from city Council prior to removal.
Minimum of I 1/2 inches in diameter, measure between 4 and 6 feet above
the grade, for any trees to meet the minimum requirement for residential
construction.
A homeowner's packet relating to the protection of trees during land
preparation for construction.
Page 2
Since there is a new member of City Council and the time delay to have this
ordinance for first reading, staff felt that it was necessary to place this
back on the workshop meeting for any corrections.
RECOMMENDED A, CTION
Move to set the first reading for Ordinance 0'94-05 and Ordinance 0-94-06
May 25, 1994 and public hearing for June 8, 1994.

TREE PROTECTION HOMEOWNERS PACKET
CITY OF SEBASTIAN
The purpose and intent of the Sebastian Tree Protection Code
is to encourage the preservation of native trees and
vegetation on lots which will, in turn, preserve the wildlife
which is native to our City. This will reduce the final cost
of landscaping and will enhance the beauty of the home.
However, the City does recognize that certain conditions will
warrant the removal of trees. In that respect, you, as a
homeowner, are being provided with information to assist you
in making wise decisions regarding the preservation of your
trees.
Properly planned home landscaping does more than just please
the eye. There are many large and small enhancements you can
make to lend a personal touch to your home's exterior, while
adding to the beauty and energy efficiency of your residence.
Through wise planning, you can help save money on your energy
bills while adding to the beauty and value of your home.

SUbSqARY STATEMENT
Bonnie Norris with Southern Bell Engineering Department contacted
me, with a request to install a 9' x 8' by 5 1/2' tall Southern
Bell cabinet near the east airport entrance road off of Main
Street. Their request was to install the cabinet on the ten foot
utility easement of lot 2, block 12 of unit one of Sebastian
Highlands. However, because of the deed drainage ditch
immediately adjacent, I would request that the cabinet be located
15 feet further south and east to allow access for maintenance
equipment. Because this location would be outside of the
existing easements and on City DroDerty, council would be
required to approve this installation.
Following research with the City Clerk's office, I was able to
determine that lot 2, block 12 of unit one was received from the
GDC settlement on March 27, 1992. The conveyance was for the lot
without special stipulations. Southern Bell indicated that they
would plant shrubbery around the cabinet to held screen it. I
would suggest that native sDecies be considered for the Dlanting
that are low maintenance with a high survival rate during periods
of drought. I feel the City should cooperate to the greatest
extent possible with utility companies because they serve in the
public's best interest. If City Council approves this location,
then Southern Bell should be required to draft and prepare an
access easement for the pad which should be approved by the City
Attorney.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Move to approve Southern Bell's request to install a Cabinet on
Lot 2 Block 12 at Unit 1 Sebastian Highlands with Staffs
recommendations and to coordinate with the city engineer.
