Currently, the Land Development code requires 3,000 square feet for the first 20 children and 150 square feet for every child over 20. With the proposed child care facility at 99 children, the City would require 14,850 square feet of outdoor recreational area. Based on the H.R.S. standard of 22 1/2 square feet per child, the proposed facility for 99 children would require 2,227 square feet. Page 2 City Staff and the majority of the Planning & Zoning Commission cannot find justification for the excessive amount of outdoor recreational area and since H.R.S. is the authority and regulates minimum standards for the safety and welfare of the children, Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended to the City Council to amend the Land Development Code to coincide with the H.R.S. standards. This of course only requires a child care facility to meet the minimum standards as outlined by H,R.S. and would not prohibit anyone from increasing the minimum amounts to meet their needs. After checking with the staff of H.R.S. concerning the requirements for outdoor recreational area, it was explained that the minimum standards of 22 1/2 square feet per child has been in place at least since 1976 and has been adequate.

Dear John: This le In response to your letter of November 18, 1991, relattve to Veto Beach requirements for recreation area~ for child oars centers. The {/ere Beach ~ode does not Include regulations for the size of recreation areas for child care centers. The City requires that any development ap- proved must also meet any applicable state or federal regulations. The Department of Health a~d Rehabilitative Services regulates the size of re~rea- lion areas for child care Centers. There are several reasons for using the HR8 standards: 1. To eliminate a dual review proceu for the same requirement, 2. To avoid setting an arbitrary standard without s ~ound hasle for .the standard. Further, If. the standard the city set were different thatq the HRB standard, then substantial justification would be necessary. We understand that we may be more restrictive than tho state standards;' however,, we must appropriately Justify the stricter regulation, 3. The HFI8 II(.'eneee and permits day care facilities and apparently has a sound basle for the apace requirements. I am not aware of any successful challenges to the HRS standard. 4. The Comprehensive Plaflrttng leglslatlon In FlorldeL included mandates for Intergovernmental coordination and consistency, A separate standard'would not meet these mandates, The Planning legislation also Included a mandate tO remove government regulations which only served to tn~rease development costs, if the CRy elected to Increase the size of recreation areas for day care centers without significant Justification, It would not be consistent with the mandate. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact this offtoe. Sincerely, Dennis Ragsdme Plalqnlng Director DR:gkb john h. dean, Architect & Assoc.

In planning s~affts opinion, county sta~ could not Justify requiring higher standards than the state standards. Xn actually applying the old county standards ~o some tenta~ive child csre proposals within the more urbanized area of the county, staff ~ound. those standards to be excessive.

I would like to request that you give every consideration to the Center's request for a change in the present space requirement. This much needed center will provide playground space that is double what the State of Florida requires. Also, please take into consideration, not all of the children will ever be out on the playground at one time. With child care being of statewide importance, and with the growing need for accessible child care for the working parents, and to ensure that these children have quality care, I would hope that we can establish a workable solution.

Council has directed staff to retain Nabors, Giblin, and Nickerson, P.A., to serve as Bond Counsel, and accordingly staff has retained them. The next step to expedite the refunding is the appointment of the underwriter to effect the refunding. Staff has requested refunding analyses from four major fn-ms and has received proposals from three. Underwriters should be selected from only those reputable firms experienced in refunding, and highly qualified to execute the underwriting. Staff has met with Mark Mustian,'attorney with Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson, P.A., to discuss selection of underwriters. Mr. Mustian has had prior experience with all three firms, reviewed all of the proposals, and finds them all to be very reputable and extremely qualified as underwriters. The following information has been extracted from the proposals: Underwriter Raymond James & Assoc., Inc. William R. Hough & Co. Barnett Bank % fee Expected fee 1.00% $ 22,800.00 1.05 % $ 21,000.00 0.87% $19,902.35 ~COMMENDED ACTION Based on the Bond Counsel's opinion of the qualifications of the underwriters, and after reviewing the proposals the firms, staff recommends approval of Barnett Bank as underwriters for the Golf Course Revenue Bond Refunding.

City of Sebastian POST OFFICE BOX 780127 D SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA 32978 TELEPHONE (407) 589-5330 [] FAX (407) 589-5570 SUBJECT: FLORIDA COMMUNITIES TRUST P2000 PRESERVATION 2000 GRANT PROPOSAL Approved For Submittal By: City Manager Agenda Number ~ For Agenda Of: Dept. Origin: Community Development 12/18/91 Exhibits: 1. Department of Community Affairs: Application Information for the Florida Communities Trust P2000 (Preservation 2000) Grant Pro~ 2. Map of Suggested Habitat Area and Documents Supporting City's Joint Opportunity to Establish Unified Conservation District with Indian River County EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: AMOUNT BUDGETED: APPROPRIATION REQUIRED: SUMMARY STATEMENT Staff has reviewed application documents for the Preservation 2000 Grant Program sponsored by the Florida Department of Community Affairs. A potential area to target for public control and acquisition under grant guidelines consists of undeveloped properties in the City to the north of Main Street. The material supplied herein generally depicts the habitat site as Scrub Tract IR-i, as cited by Mr. Raymond T. Fernald in the book published by the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission: Nongame Wildlife Program Technical R~ort Number 6: Coastal Xeric Scrub Communities of the Treasure Coast Reqion, Florida, map on page 89, June 1989. Because the Florida Communities Trust Preservation 2000 Program favors partnership arrangements for grant applications, and because the tract covers an Indian River County enclave, County staff have expressed interest in sharing responsibility for application submission. Only governmental units may submit a P2OOO Grant Application to the state, but Page 2 this habitat area is of possible interest to other private entities such as the Indian River Land Trust who may provide financial support. For the purposes of the application, due on January 3, 1992, none of the financial details need be known; the State prefers to guide its awardees through the process when ready. Scrub Tract IR-1 is located within the City's most intensive commerial/ industrial sector, and overlaps Indian River County and the St. Sebastian Planned Unit Development, whose planners are taking into account the tract's location, sensitivity and necessity to manage it via controlled burning under the direction of Florida Forestry. Total acreage of IR-1 is 193 acres, of which about 43 are included in St. Sebastian PUD (one owner), 12 in the enclave (one out-of-country owner), 70 in the Industrial zone (one owner), with the remainder lying in the Commercial General zone between US #1 and FEC RR. Sebastian already owns the Cemetary site west of US #1, which is also part of IR -1. Scrub habitat acquisition and protection is a new issue to many residents of the City, but an important one, and consistent with the comprehensive planning goals of the City, County and the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council. RECOMMENDED ACTION City Council is asked to review the documents attached, and to provide direction to staff whether or not to pursue a Florida Communities Trust Preservation 2000 Grant Application for scrub habitat located in Scrub Tract IR-1. Full details concerning property value, and negotiations on' acquisition will be made a part of the grant agreement, should a grant be awarded. In any case, the City's financial responsibility will likely be no more than one-fourth the negotiated price for the 125 acres of land excluded from the Commercial General zone (approximately $500,000 of the total $2,000,000+ estimate). The Department of Community Affairs projects a long review process, and does not expect or desire applications that have reached the negotiation stage, asking instead that the individual applicants be prepared to allow the State to determine the method of financing and the appropriateness of in-kind trade-offs and transfers of development rights. (continued from p. 1) will continue into 1992. If you have any thoughts on the issue you can reach Rick at (407) 246-2269. Tallahassee It appears as though FAPA will be going through a dues restructuring to assist with the collection of dues and eliminate future rate increases. Dues for membership in FAPA will be based on 50% of national dues. This will mean that in 1992 your invoice for APA membership dues will include a fee of 50% of national dues for state dues. Look for more news on this item in the state FAPA newsletter. FL Pierce In our own backyard I am sorry to say that Nancy Munshaw Planning Director for St. Lucie County and Secretary for our very own Treasure Coast Section of FAPA will be leaving St. Lucie County to pursue personal interests. She decided it was time to make a change after being instrumental in the adoption and initiation of the implementation of the County's Comprehensive Plan. Fortunately Nancy will be staying in the area and will be in touch with all of us. Nancy has done a superb job of editing (producing) this newsletter and has contributed immensely to the Section. We all wish you the best. Monroe County Monroe County has agreed to a negotiated settlement with 1000 Friends of Florida, DCA and several other individuals and environmental groups who challenged the County's comprehensive plan. The settlement, which must be ratified by the Governor and Cabinet, calls for the county to adopt and enforce an entirely new plan by early 1993. In the meantime, the county will continue to operate under its 1986 plan. The biggest area of concern in the plan was that the amount of development allowed was more than could ever be sustained based on the islands' water supply, environmental and hurricane constraints. The Florida Communities Trust is looking for a few good grant ]uests. The Trust will distribute nearly $30 million in grants during the next year to help communities implement their comprehensive plans. $1 million has been set aside as grants for counties with populations under 50,000 and cities with populations under 5,000. The application period for local governments to request matching grants up $2.7 million is November 4, 1991 through January 3, 1992. The Trust plans a series of regional workshops during mid-November to explain the application process. For more information on the workshops and applying for grants, contact the Florida Communities Trust, DCA, 2740 Centerview Drive, Tailahassee, 32399-2100 or call (904) 922-2207.

Conycrs, Mayor Sebastian City Commission 1225 Main Street A Sebastian, FL 32958 August 8, 1991 Dear Mayor Conycrs: I would like to emphasize-to you and Commission members the rarity and endangerment ora native Florida habitat that you have in your midst. The "scrub" community, which grows only on certain ancient beach sands, is certainly among the most endangered natural community types in our state. Both subtypes or scrub, coastaland central ridge, have been decimated in recentdeeades, princJpally by residential and commercial development as well as by cltriculture. Many plants and animals adapted to scrub can survive nowhere else; they require the relatively open, deep sandy habitat and shrubby vegetational structure characteristic of scrub. Many such species are likely candidates for future fcderal and state listlng as threatened or endangered, while others (e.g., thc Florida scrub jay) have already been so listed. The only effective way to protect these species, nnd hopefully to preclude such listings, is to preserve ample amounts of native scrub habitat. A recent study conducted by the Florida Game and Fresh Wntcr Fish Commission concluded that Indian River County contained the best and most threatened examples of Atlantic coastal scrub, and in particular identified a tract adjacent to the Sebastian Municipal Airport as the preferred tract for potential preservation. The tract is known to support a number of rare species, including the Florida scrub jay, gopher tortoise, and Florida scrub lizard. The state of Florida and private organizations such ns The Nature Conservancy are working hard to protect our vanishing scrub habitats, but thc success of this effort will depend on the efforts of local governments and regional planning councils as well. I encourage you and the Commission to take actions to protect these jewels of natural habitat that have been destroyed elsewhere largely for financial gain. I believe that their preservation xvill provide your city and county with substantial long-term benefits, financial as well as ecological, that may not be readily perceptible at first glance. If you, your colleagues, and your local citizenry will make such a commitment, I am sure that you will find many persons and organizations willing to assist you.

Conyers, Mayor Sebastian City Commission 1225 Main Street A Sebastian, FL 32958 August 22, 1991 Dear Mayor Conyers: Enclosed is some information that may help to pinpoint the scrub mentioned in my previous letter. It is referred to as scrub IR-I in the "Fernald report," excerpts of which are enclosed. I do not have personal experience with this scrub but suspect that a number of local persons do. In particular, you might contact Brian Toland at the Yero Beach office. of thc Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission (798-5095). Fernald's original maps may be on file with that office; they are not with the Commission's office in Tallahassee, as I checked with them on your behalf. I am not sufficiently familiar with the site to judge whether the suggested 193 acres encompass all of the important resources. I suspect that the protection of additional acreage, even if disturbed, would act as an important ecological buffer to this otherwise relatively small and precarious tract. For your background knowledge, a good bit of scrub IR-3, west of the South Prong of the Sebastian River, is included in the Sebastian Creek CARL project, which I proposed two years ago principally as a refuge for thc endangered manatee, although the upland portions of the project also have ecological importance. Whether that project could be amended to incorporate scrub IR-I is an avenue worth investigating, although without a direct connection the probability may be reduced. I am also enclosing a copy of an educational poster prepared by the state nongame program; it provides a nice summary about the uniqueness and rarity of Florida scrub and its associated biota. I hope that these materials are helpful and that your city and .county will do their best to protect the natural resources that make your area so unique. Please contact me again if I can be of further assistance. Sincerely, Dale R.
