Ms. Kautenburg called on the applicant to make her presentation.
Ms. Emily O'Mahoney introduced herself and presented slides on the screen that showed
the proposed development which is proposed to have 352 detached single family units at a
density of 2.4 units per acre (SEE ATTACHED). The project is called River Oaks
Preserve. She explained the slides which also showed the lots, the amenities, streets,
green space, wetlands, etc. She called everyone's attention to the cluster housing and
explained what that is. The homes are planned to be rentals, but they could be purchased
in the future. They are looking to develop an environmentally sensitive project with the
goal to be sustainable over time.
Ms. Bosworth reviewed that the original River Oaks development was approved in 2004
when the property was annexed in. The Code requires that to get that PUDR zoning
designation you also have to present a conceptual plan, which they did. The original
plan was in 2004. The economy fell apart, and the project died out. This is a different
plan from that original 2004 plan. As such, the City's Development Code states that we
have to process it the same way as the original. So, in essence, this is a revision from
that original 2004 plan. Included in the staff report are some of the items that also had to
be considered for the rezoning. They are currently not rezoning the property. There is
not any new zoning designation on the property. Some of the items in the staff report are
showing that this plan still meets the rezoning intentions too in order to get that PUDR
consideration. She explained what PUD does. This conceptual plan is brought before
this Commission and City Council so that everybody is on board with this design
and what they are proposing before they go into the next step of subdivision construction
with the preliminary plat. That is what is before the Commission tonight. You will
look at it, make a recommendation to City Council, and they will also review it and
decide if they want to continue and move forward with the conceptual plan and the
subdivision. As this process goes forward, the Commissioners may have some
additional conditions that you would like added that you will recommend to the City
Council, and they may also have some conditions that they will add if they choose to
approve this subdivision.
After that, comes the preliminary plat. That is where much more of a design is portrayed,
and the design will have more of a complete drainage plan, more detailed surveys on the
trees and what can be preserved. Traffic —we are going to have a much more detailed
analysis to know exactly how much traffic is going to be added to the road. After that, the
preliminary plat comes before you, you will make a recommendation to the City, and City
Council will make the final decision on the preliminary plat. The next step is the
construction drawings. That gets reviewed by staff and approved by the City Engineer,
and the final step would be the final platting.

To put this in perspective, she compared it to another PUD. The last one that was done
is Spirit of Sebastian. This project in 2018 got their PUDR designation and a conceptual
plan was approved. Two months ago they did their final plan to begin, so that they can
show the first houses to be built. So it was not something that within a year we are going
to be houses being built on this property. There is still a lot of planning and detailing. It
takes about four and a half years.
Ms. Bosworth also reviewed the applicant's Justification Statement, which goes into a lot
of detail about the project. There is also a traffic statement, along with the conceptual
drainage plan, and the tree survey.
At this point, Ms. Bosworth entered the staff report into the record. This report contains
some staff recommendations as follows:
a. In areas where a residential property line abuts a wetland buffer area or
conservation tract/easement, a 3- to 4-foot high fence will be required, i.e. a
conservation or split -rail type fence, to establish the specific boundary and
prevent encroachment of accessory residential activities.
b. Wetland buffer areas, notably in the NW corner, that encroach into proposed
residential lots will be required to mitigate, one square foot for one square foot,
to an applicable, alternative area within the PUD and must be shown on the
Preliminary Plan.
c. Alternative ground covers (vs. gravel) for the trails adjacent to the wetland
buffer areas shall be constructed.
d. Construction of the north 720 linear feet of the one-way Shakespeare Street
extension shall occur in Phase 1, and with the final design approved by the City
Engineer.
e. If the final drainage plan, after working with SRID, modifies the conceptual
design considerably, the Conceptual PUD Development Plan will need to be
reconsidered by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council.
Staff required on the east side some dedication for the Shakespeare extension. Also, the
piece of property, when they annex it in and also when they build, will be required to
donate some dedicated property to the City for the Shakespeare extension.

Ms. Bosworth put a drawing on the screen that shows the traffic flow. She also went on
to describe the size of the houses, size of the lots, the easements, etc.
Whereupon, staff recommends that this Commission forward a favorable
recommendation to City Council with the above conditions.
Ms. Kautenburg called for public input and explained how this works.
Scott Carmine -- He lives on the one-way section of Shakespeare Street that cannot
be divided into two lanes. His concern is, if you put Shakespeare Street through up to
510 the people in his neighborhood are concerned about the traffic flow. He would prefer
not to have Shakespeare Street opened up all the way through. Leave that berm there.
They can develop Shakespeare Street on the other side of Lighthouse. He stated that
there is traffic going the opposite way on the one-way section of Shakespeare. He stated
there will be more congestion on the area roads, and the roads cannot handle the added
traffic.
Tony Salazar -- He also lives on Shakespeare Street. He has lived two years in this
neighborhood. He described Shakespeare Street as a narrow street. When the service
vehicles (grass cutters, septic pumping trucks, delivery trucks, etc.) park there is hardly
any room to get around them. You either have to wait for them to move or drive slowly
down the one-way road. There are no sidewalks, and sometimes the water after a heavy
rain comes right up on the streets.
Heather Fisher -- She echoes the safety concerns of the first two speakers. She also
lives on Shakespeare where it goes from two ways to one way. Shakespeare is like the
courtyards that will be in the cluster housing area. The neighbors get together and talk
to each other. We all know each other on that road.
Missy Servis -- She lives on Joy Haven Street, having lived there for about seven
years. She opposes the project for several reasons, some of which the other speakers
have already addressed. She opined that some of the things that were described as
benefits may be an injury to this community because of the density of the proposed
project. She asked if it is now not low density. Ms. Bosworth said it will remain low
density. The maximum is three units per acre. They are only coming in at 2.4, so they
are not coming in at the maximum that they could have. She also shares concerns
regarding Shakespeare. Another issue she has regard the emergency access road.
She asked if that is an emergency access road, does that mean that only emergency
vehicles can use
PLANNING AND ZONNG COMMISSION

PAGE 5
it, or can all residents and their friends, etc. use it. Ms. Bosworth said no. If there is a
need for firetrucks or emergency vehicles to get in there, that is the purpose of that road.
However, she added if the residents needed to use it to get out because of a fire, they
could get out. It is not for everyday use. It is only if the other two entrances were
blocked.
John Glaser -- He lives at 1771 Shakespeare, and he echoes what the other people
have said. There were 20-miles-per-hour signs, and hurricanes took down the signs.
Now people are doing 30-40 miles an hour down that road. He personally has stopped
approximately 50 cars coming down that road the wrong way. He suggested tire
shredders being put on that road. He added that, if anyone said they have done a study
on that street, that is not true.
Francine Frank -- She lives on Joy Haven. She is concerned about the wildlife. She
lives at the edge of the proposed property. She has had several species of wildlife on
her property. Where are the animals going to go? It is something to think about.
Jim Kwiackowski -- He has the same concerns as those voiced. He lives on Lanfair.
He suggested that once people learn where the new streets are, they will be cutting down
those streets to get to 510, and it is going to be a disaster. His other concern is
construction traffic. Regarding the suggested trails, he did not see anything regarding
parking for people who use those trails.
Rita Richardson -- She has lived in Sebastian for 22 years. Her questions have to do
with the cluster homes. She sees 26 clusters with an average of 7 to 9 units per cluster.
Estimating one car per unit, that is over 200 cars just in that part of this development.
Are the rentals going to be seasonal rentals, short-term rentals, etc.? Ms. Bosworth
stated that after Public Input the applicant can come up and speak about that. She also
asked where the public would park who want to use the trails. Ms. Bosworth stated that
could be something that could be considered, but right now it's walking or bicycle
access. She asked if that goes for the dog park as well. Ms. Bosworth said that would
be for residents only.
Norm Tessier -- He has lived on Seashore for 20+ years. He picked that area because
of what it was then. If this project happens, it is not going to be what it was anymore. He
knows that is part of life. The housing is going to happen. Why does it have to come into
this quiet little section? People are going to cut all up and down these streets, where
kids are out there playing. He does not know why they cannot make another entrance
off of 510.

Gudny Holm-Johannessen -- Her question is regarding construction traffic. She
believes construction traffic will be coming off of 510 during the first phase. What about
after that? She asked if construction traffic also will be coming down Shakespeare. Ms.
Bosworth said construction traffic would not be coming from that area. They are required
to give us plans on where construction traffic would come from. It would depend on
which is the first entrance that gets built. Definitely we would not allow it to come
through the Sebastian Highlands area. They have enough access off of 510 to get their
construction traffic in.
Kim Nielsen -- She stated she lives up against Lanfair, and she has lots of concerns,
and she opposes this project. She has been here for 23 years and thinks Sebastian is a
great place. All she sees happening is that we are just going to end up like West Palm
Beach. She also does not think Sebastian can handle the infrastructure. The roads and
businesses are not ready for all these additional residents. Regarding the trails, she
asked if these would back up to the north end. If so, that can be a safety concern. She
asked what kind of barriers are going to be installed. She also agrees with the concern
about wildlife. She feels that, as soon as that construction phase 2 starts, it is going to
push the wildlife into her yard. She thinks it's wrong how all the trees are going to be
plowed down and the wildlife is going to be displaced. She also asked how the additional
traffic is going to be handled.
Ms. Bosworth emphasized that this is the conceptual PUD. There are a lot more details
that have to be designed and studied -- drainage and the buffer areas. With the
preliminary plan, there will be more of the final landscape plans and buffer plans. There
will be a traffic analysis. If the intent is to look into the Shakespeare extension, City
Council will decide. It may warrant a study of the road. She will tomorrow speak to the
City's Traffic Engineering Department to let them know that there are some one-way signs
and some traffic speed signs that need to be put back up on that road.
Ms. Kautenburg called for any final comments from the applicant.
Ms. O'Mahoney spoke regarding the questions about the cluster housing rentals. She
said the intent at this time would be to do annual leases. The market studies have
shown that this type of unit living is in demand. She added that all the entrances are
coming off of 510, which means the construction would also come in from there.
Ms. Kautenburg called for deliberation among the Commission members.

Mr. Carter -- He asked if the applicant has given any thought to price points for the
leasing of the cluster homes and also for the individual home sites. Also, he asked if
there has been any thought to providing affordable housing in this project. Ms.
O'Mahoney stated not at this time. It will be market driven at the time. She stated the
applicant is not considering affordable housing. He then asked, if the applicant has not
taken those things into account, how do you know the project is worthwhile doing. She
stated they have done market studies on the area. She stated it is premature to be
talking about that. Construction will not begin for three years or more assuming this is
passed.
Ms. Geesey -- She stated the commissioners have a lot of homework to do. She asked
if this community will be governed by an HOA. Ms. O'Mahoney said yes. She said that
she is also an animal lover. She understands there will be a study done on the gopher
tortoises, and it has to be done when the land is being cleared. She asked when the
streets are put in, the emergency vehicles have to okay what the turn radius is, etc. Ms.
Bosworth said yes.
Ms. Kinchen -- She stated that this project is not designed for you to drive to the project
and park your car and walk the trails. It is designed for the neighborhood residents to
walk onto the trails. Ms. Bosworth emphasized that there are public trails that are not
just for the residents. Ms. Kinchen said it is not designed to put a parking area in for the
public to walk the trails. Ms. Bosworth said that could be a consideration. Ms. Kinchen
stated it is not on this plan. Ms. Bosworth said it could be on Shakespeare Street. There
could be a parking area near the entrance that would allow bike racks, etc. Ms. Kinchen
does agree with the concerns of a one-way street, because those streets are terrible. It
can still be discussed with staff different ingresses and egresses for this project with regard
to the one-way section, taking into consideration all of the public comments. We have to
make a recommendation to City Council. City Council ultimately makes the final
decision, so the public needs to go to that hearing and speak up at that one as well.
Development is going to happen despite how people feel about it. It is going to take
three or four years before you will even see the first house go up out there. By that time,
510 is going to be widened, and it is not going to affect additional traffic at that point
because it will be widened into four lanes. She thinks it is a great development. We do
not have a lot of developments with cluster housing. It is something new in Sebastian.
She is in favor of it, but she wants to make sure that staff does take a look at the safety
issues on the one- way street.
Ms. Lorusso -- She agrees with a lot of what Ms. Kinchen has said. She emphasized
that the key word now is "conceptual." She asked Ms. Bosworth how much import the
Commission will have at the next stage. Ms. Bosworth said that the Land Development
PLANNING AND ZONNG COMMISSION
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 3, 2023
PAGE 8
Code requires that the preliminary plat pretty much meets what you are seeing here in
terms of design, density, etc. Things like that cannot change from the conceptual -- if
there is an addition of some trail parking, if the drainage design is tweaked a bit etc. That
is why staff added as a condition of approval that if it changes substantially, staff will bring
it back before the commissioners. She explained that, regarding what City Council says
regarding Shakespeare Street, staff may have to look at the proposed conceptual plan.
Ms. Lorusso wants to make sure that there is room to address the issues that the public
is concerned about. Ms. Bosworth stated that is correct.
Ms. Matthews -- She asked the applicant what the thought process was that went in
regarding extending Shakespeare from Periwinkle down into the subdivision. Ms.
O'Mahoney said that is probably a better question for staff. Ms. Bosworth said there are
policies regarding interconnectivity. A future hearing will address Cross Creek Lake
Extension. They are adding some lots in there. Staff feels that the interconnectivity and
having those other streets down there is going to diminish some of the traffic on Power
Line or on Barber Street and Schumann. Because of the one-way Shakespeare area
that is going to remain one-way, staff understands that that is the concern that that
may become a thoroughfare. The traffic that would use that two-way is going to be that
area of Sebastian Highlands. Ms. Matthews said she likes the concept of this
development. Her concern is the gate entry on Shakespeare -- if that is something
that would be necessary because of the volume, or could it be strictly on 510, and
that could be an emergency -type entry. Ms. Bosworth said if the concern is the
extension of Shakespeare, she still thinks it is good planning to not have all the
entrances on the same street. So, she thinks it will require the entrance off of
Shakespeare. Ms. Matthews understands that people will get a little concerned, but
she is not in agreement with taking that small Shakespeare/Lighthouse, that whole
area, and making it a part of this. When you bring Shakespeare through, you are now
connecting these two. She sees a lot of problems when the traffic comes in off of
Periwinkle, because people are going to find the shortest route, the fastest way. Her
concern is that connection. She thinks that we can have this community with access
from 510. Ms. O'Mahoney clarified that any gating as part of the project is only going into
the traditional single-family homes. The two entrances that we have are open, non -
gated. Ms. O'Mahoney said that the applicant will do the will of the City. Ms. Matthews
asked where the emergency exit would be. Ms. O'Mahoney said that
is way up in the northwest corner. It is off of Lanfair. That would probably be gated with
a lock box so that only emergency vehicles would have access. Ms. Matthews said she
knows that growth is inevitable, but we need to pay attention to everyone involved in this.

Mr. Haddix -- He asked if the developer will be responsible for the three- to four -foot
fence. Ms. Bosworth said yes. He will agree with Ms. Matthews about it being
questionable regarding extending Shakespeare, only with the thought that, is the City
ready and prepared for the infrastructure that would be necessary to make the rest of the
roads accommodate the potential traffic. He understands that is not part of this, but he
thinks it has got to be considered. Ms. Bosworth stated these are improvements that the
developer would do. He is concerned with Shakespeare potentially becoming a
thoroughfare traveling south, and is the City prepared to widen Shakespeare from the 8
feet to make it 20 feet. He asked if there are going to be sidewalks. He opined that there
will have to be additional infrastructure done at some point if all of that was to transpose.
Ms. Bosworth said that the intent was that northern 720 feet that goes along their property,
that there would be a design that would be reviewed by the City Engineer. It may have a
sidewalk. When we get the other 25 feet from the property next to it, then there would be
that final design. That developer will have to do that. She added that, in the long term
when the last piece of the puzzle is that one vacant property which was annexed in last
year, that is going to be a complete street. Mr. Haddix said what he was referencing is
that additional infrastructure. He understands that the lot to the east would have to be
that developer's responsibility for that 25 feet. But versus a thoroughfare, can this
Commission make a recommendation versus a thoroughfare, maybe that it becomes a
parking area and that the developer looks at their block 17 in that last lot and says that is
a parking lot versus a home site. Ms. Bosworth stated she is kind of nervous with the
word thoroughfare because it is not going to be a thoroughfare; it is going to be a local
street, it's 50 feet. Mr. Haddix said it will become a thoroughfare to move south. People
will use it as that. Ms. Bosworth said the intent is not to be a thoroughfare, so there
could be some street design that is going to prevent that. That is what the study will be
for when we get to that. Mr. Haddix asked that all of the oaks and the sabals that
are on this property, we should make that as a condition that they are saved. Ms.
Bosworth said there is a plan that definitely shows the trees that are going to be saved in
that northern area. With the preliminary plat there will have to be a very detailed tree
survey. Not all trees can be relocated, but they will save as many trees as they can.
Ms. Battles -- Asked the applicant how is the cluster housing going to be serviced when
it comes to trash. Ms. O'Mahoney said that would involve the conversation with Waste
Management. It is very doable to go through the cul-de-sac and pick up garbage, but it
has not been decided yet. It is also doable for emergency vehicles. Ms. Battles asked if
the applicant is planning to have the minimum lot size be 54 x 60. Ms. O'Mahoney said
on the cluster houses she thinks that is the smallest one. Ms. Battles asked if all the
roads are going to be private. Ms. O'Mahoney said she thinks that was a condition. Ms.

Bosworth said, if there are roads that are not gated through the clusters, they will be
maintained by the HOA. Ms. Battles asked if all the roads on the property would be
private, maintained by the HOA. Ms. Bosworth said yes. Ms. Battles asked who will be
maintaining the public trails. Ms. O'Mahoney answered that is part of the public benefits.
Ms. Battles asked if that is noted somewhere. Ms. Bosworth said that would be clarified
in the HOA documents plus the final plat. The trails and the wetland buffers would be a
tract dedicated to the HOA for maintenance but allowed for public use. Ms. Battles
asked if public parking for the amenities is something that the applicant has considered.
Ms. O'Mahoney said the applicant has not particularly thought about it. We thought
about it as more of a whole connectivity system. Ms. Battles stated she likes the idea of
public parking, so she would probably want to consider that as one of the conditions.
She stated that it appears that all of the traffic generated, and in the report it shows
52% from westbound on 510 and 48% coming from the east direction. She asked if this
was done before the request from the City to provide that link, is that why there was
no traffic generated from that direction. Ms. O'Mahoney said they never counted on
that traffic. Ms. Battles asked what percent of the traffic generated from your property
would be coming from the north. Also, she asked how many background trips would
there be from the Highlands that would be making that pass through. Mr. Jim Vitter, the
applicant's civil engineer, answered those questions. Ms. Battles suggested that this
plan was probably done before the request was made to link it, and that is why there was
no traffic generated from the north. She would think there would be some trips. Ms.
Bosworth said that part of the traffic analysis says it is required for them to address the
traffic that is going to come from their project. Because there is no street extension
yet, it is going to be hard to include that in part of that traffic study to see what is going
to come from the Highlands. Ms. Battles suggested that there be an accurate traffic study
that reflects how many trips would actually be coming from the north, as there would be
some.
Ms. O'Mahoney said she does have an answer to Mr. Carter's original question. Mr. Ben
Brown said that it is important to note that the homes are designed to be very efficiently
sized, so they are much smaller than the new development homes ranging from 1,200
square feet to 2,000 square feet including the garage. So as a price point on a monthly
basis it is going to be lower than the typical large home. But on a price per square foot it
will be higher. It's very hard to project in 4 years what the prices would be, but in
Sebastian today homes are renting anywhere between $1,500.00 to $3,500.00 a month.
He does not know where this project would fall in that range.
Ms. Kautenburg -- She stated she has had experience with cluster housing before in
other communities, and they are an excellent product for people in a lot of different stages
of their lives. She displayed a photograph taken years ago touting Sebastian as a
friendly

town of 1,600 friendly people and 6 old grouches. The reason she thought this was
appropriate is because nobody likes change, and she is pretty sure that those 1,600
people did not want her here and probably did not want any of us here. She noted that
change is always uncomfortable for some of us, but it is inevitable. She would very much
like to see included in our recommendation a condition that would provide guest parking.
There needs to be some kind of guest parking. Ms. O'Mahoney said there will be parking
near the amenity center. All the roads are set up for the valley curb condition on the road
edge. There is plenty of room to pull off in the grass in the cluster home area. She
added there is the equivalent of about one parking space per unit additional parking in the
court. Ms. Kautenburg stated that overall this planned -unit development meets all of the
criteria that is required and fits within what our Comp Plan says we want for our city — a
diversity of housing with connectivity to other neighborhoods. She asked Ms.
Bosworth if Shakespeare was planned to be a two-way street. Is that what it shows on
the plan? Ms. Bosworth said that when Cross Creek Lake Estates developer came in,
they were going to give the 25 feet that was required to make a two-way street. There
were residents who came to the City Council meeting, and it was decided at that point to
keep Shakespeare one-way. Ms. Kautenburg said it seems that a number of people are
very concerned with garbage trucks, moving trucks, Amazon trucks, etc. parking their
vehicles every which way and people going the wrong way on a one-way street. She
opined that a larger street would be a safer street. Ms. Bosworth said that it wouldn't
be part of this project, but there is a 25-foot right-of-way.
There being no further discussion or questions, Ms. Kautenburg called for a motion. A
motion recommending approval to City Council at the meeting scheduled for September
1391, with the staff recommendations along with three additional: (1) Adding public
parking for the public amenities; (2) Adding that the owner is required to maintain the
public amenities in perpetuity; (3) Adding some sort of traffic calming devices
along Shakespeare in the section where construction would take place in the section
between the gate and Lanfair to limit the amount of traffic that would be using it as a cut -
through was made by Ms. Battles. As a consideration, Mr. Haddix suggested adding
wording regarding preservation of the trees, the current oaks and the sabals. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Carter.
