All having indicated that they have reviewed the Minutes of August 3, 2023, Ms.
Kautenburg called for a motion. A motion approving the Minutes of August 3, 2023 as
presented was made by Mr. Carter, seconded by Ms. Kinchen, and approved
unanimously via voice vote.
VI. Local Planninq Agencv (LPA) Public Hearinu:
Ms. Kautenburg read the item into the record as follows:
A. Public Hearing -- LPA -- Recommendation to City Council --
Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment -- Infrastructure and
Governance & Implementation Elements -- City of Sebastian Water
Supply Plan
Ms. Kautenburg called for staff's presentation.
Ms. Frazier stated that this is a request for a text amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
It is entitled the City of Sebastian Water Supply Plan. This is a statutory provision in
Chapter 163.2117 of the Florida Statutes relative to the Comprehensive Plan requiring
each local government to adopt a Water Supply Plan and incorporate its applicable
policies into their Comprehensive Plan. She stated that, when referring to the cover letter
by Kimley Horn, you will get the clearest explanation of what your role is this evening.
She further explained that every local government has to prepare a 10-year water supply
work plan in accordance with this statute. The City did not do that when we were going
through Comprehensive Plan changes -- the Comprehensive Plan 2024-2040 update -
- because St. John's was in the middle of doing their whole big assessment and work
plan and asked us to wait.
St. John's completed their Central Plan/East Coast Water Supply Plan about 18 months
ago. Now it is the City's turn to get this Plan done, which we have, and to incorporate the
recommended objectives and policies from St. John's. St John's has reviewed this plan,
they have approved it, and they have recommended the objectives and policies that you
read on this cover sheet. Tonight, it will be incumbent upon this Commission to
recommend or not recommend to the City Council to accept the Water Supply Plan and
recommend or not recommend incorporating the Comprehensive Plan language into the
City's Comprehensive Plan. At that point, for those of you who were not here when we
did a lot of the Comprehensive Plan amendments, the City Council will then have a
hearing and transmit those changes up to DEO. DEO will then review those changes,
and they have 30 days to accomplish that. They will then send it back to the City.

Hopefully, everything will look good to them, and then the City Council will once again
take it up at a public hearing and approve or deny the incorporation of this language into
the City's Comprehensive Plan. Then, we will make that change and put it into all of the
Comprehensive Plans that were done prior.
Ms. Kautenburg called for public input. There being none, Ms. Kautenburg called for final
comments from the staff. Ms. Frazier said there were none, and Ms. Kautenburg called
for questions/comments from the Commissioners.
Mr. Carter -- Referring to page 13 of the report, he had a question about the expected
average annual growth rate of 8% between the years 2023 and 2040. He asked what
that figure was based upon and if that is going to be a realistic figure. Ms. Frazier
explained how population projections are done. They are not 100% accurate. By looking
at the growth of the area and the projected population growth, that is how that is projected.
Mr. Carter stated that over the last several years we have had brought before this
Commission, whether it be as a recommendation or whatever to City Council, various
developments which will exceed that number once they are built out. That is why he
questioned the validity of this 8%. He suggested it should be higher. Ms. Frazier further
stated they do take into consideration our build -out based on our land use. So that is a
given. She will make a note to look into that further. She called everyone's attention to
page 8 where they talk about the potable level of service. The City has always been
projected as utilizing way more of the GPD than it does. She added that the City's level
of service has been pretty high compared to historically what we use. So, if the City
continued to incorporate its conservation efforts, she suggested that it is imperative that
people understand that stormwater retention, stormwater percolation is very important to
our potable water and our aquafers getting refilled. When we direct it down a pipe out
into the Indian River Lagoon, we are not refilling our aquafers. It is very important that
we recognize that. She believes that the City is doing all that it can to incorporate the
conservation efforts into our potable water source retainment.
Ms. Geesey -- She estimated that from 2020 to 2040 it is a 40% increase in population.
Ms. Frazier said each year from 2020 to 2040 they are showing a growth rate of 11 % up
to 2025. It will keep ticking forward. We are the fastest growing area in Indian River
County.
Ms. Kinchen -- She stated her concerns are the same as Mr. Carter's. She does not
think that 8% is going to be enough. She suggested that will really have to be looked at
later on, maybe 5 years down the road, and make sure that that is going to comply,

because Sebastian is the fastest growing city in Indian River County, and it is not going
to stop any time soon.
Ms. Lorusso -- She addressed the septic -to -sewer situation. She knows the CRA district
already has that program in effect. On page 11 it mentions the North Sebastian septic -
to -sewer Phase II project. She asked what that is going to entail, what do they consider
North Sebastian. Ms. Frazier said this information is a little dated because we had to
sunset the Sebastian CRA Septic -to -Sewer Conversion Program last year. This was a
program that had been in place since 2016. We were successful in getting a cost -share
grant from Indian River Lagoon to help us. That was in 2018. That program was run for
many years. It was one grant, and we kept getting extensions until they said we could no
longer extend the program because people were not taking advantage of this grant, even
though notices were sent out every year. It has not started back up again. As to the
Phase II project, she explained that that is the County's project. It is a gravity feedline
which helps people connect a lot cheaper. That is all that she is aware of regarding that.
Ms. Lorusso asked regarding the FEMA grant for the Collier and one other canal, whether
the grant has been applied. Ms. Frazier stated that would be under the purview of Karen
Miller, the City Engineer.
Mr. Haddix -- Regarding page 4, the first paragraph, last sentence which states, "The
CSEC has reviewed multiple projects that could increase the water quantity in Brevard,
Indian River, and Okeechobee counties by 29.2 million gallons per day." He asked if this
is a demand of quantity, or is it an availability. Ms. Frazier explained that the CSEC is the
St. John's report. It is the Central Spring East Coast Regional Water Supply Plan, Ms.
Frazier interpreted it as meaning the available quantity.
Mr. Haddix referred to page 9, the last paragraph where it talks about the County requiring
the use of irrigation qualify effluent meeting FDEP standards for irrigation in parks and
facilities, etc. He asked, if the County is making this a requirement, is the County going
to have this pressurized. Ms. Frazier stated this is for reuse. If reuse is available, they
are going to force you to use it. They have had this on the books for a while. Mr. Haddix
stated that, if they are going to require it, he opined that there should be some clarification
that means somebody has got to put pumps in -- the City is going to be required to do
that for these irrigation purposes, or the County is going to have to pressurize this effluent
water that is only available by gravity. He believes it is unclear. Ms. Frazier said she will
make a note of that and will have the City Engineer follow up on that.

Mr. Haddix said this question is just for educational purposes for himself. On page 10
where it refers to Policy 4.8, "The County shall require all new subdivisions and projects
of 25 or more lots or units..." His question is what the significance of 25 is. He asked if
that is a minimum requirement for a subdivision. Ms. Bosworth stated that 25 lots must
be a threshold where they presume what the maximum impervious could be so that there
would be a stormwater pond that would be required. Mr. Haddix said he was concerned
as to what the origin of 25 represents.
Ms. Kautenburg -- She felt that this report was extremely thorough. She is also
concerned with projected numbers. She has seen many projections over time. While we
assume that they are based on an educated guess, sometimes we don't know what we
don't know until it happens. She is also of the opinion today that that figure might be a
little low, but she might change her mind in the future. Ms. Bosworth explained further
that the statement that Mr. Carter made is not saying that from the period of 2023 to 2040
there is only going to be an 8% increase. It is annual, so that each year it will be an 8%
increase. Mr. Carter said he understood that.
Ms. Kautenburg stated, if there are no further questions or discussion, the Chair will
entertain a motion. A motion that the Commission make a recommendation to the City
Council to approve the Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment -- Infrastructure and
Governance and Implementation Elements -- City of Sebastian Water Supply Plan was
made by Mr. Carter, and seconded by Ms. Kinchen. Ms. Kautenburg called for a roll call

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 6
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 17, 2023
Ms. Kautenburg called on the applicant to give his presentation.
John Cronenberg, 493 Englar Drive, Sebastian -- He described the accessory
structure for which he had designed and engineered to match the house, concrete block
and stucco, the same roof style. It is going to be under 1,000 square feet. He is only
going to be using it for himself, for storage, for working on his projects. He states there
are two other structures on the property that will be removed once the structure is built.
Everything that is in the sheds that are presently on the property has to go somewhere.
When the garage is finished, that is where those items will all go, and then the sheds will
be removed from the property. He has a landscape plan that meets the Code. There are
plenty of trees on the property. He displayed a few photographs on the monitor and
pointed out various trees, etc.
Ms. Kautenburg called for questions from the Commissioners.
Ms. Kinchen -- She inquired if any of the tall trees shown on the photographs are coming
out. Mr. Cronenburg stated no. The garage will be set back, so all of them will still be
there.
Mr. Carter -- He asked if the applicant will be working on any vehicles, etc. Mr.
Cronenburg stated only on his own motorcycles, cars, doing woodwork. It will just be a
hobby shop. He is retired and needs something to do.
Ms. Kautenburg called for comments from the staff. Ms. Bosworth stated staff has worked
with Mr. Cronenburg. He has presented a landscape plan that shows that he has added
the plants around the building. Also, as can be seen, it is higher than the house, but we
have always discussed that the intent was that the structure did not appear to be higher
than the house. Based on the grade elevations, there is a 4-foot difference. It still appears
less than the house. The staff had also noted that the left -right elevation which was facing
the road was kind of plain. But after staff looked at the aerial, there are not any houses
facing that street. All of the other houses are facing the other street. So, staff is
recommending approval of this application. He meets all of the required codes.
Ms. Kautenburg -- She stated she knows Mr. Cronenburg is an honorable person, but
in the last year there have been a number of projects that the Commissioners have
allowed to pass, and she has found that the owners of the properties, while they are barely
meeting the intent, they are not holding up their end of the bargain. She has had to call

Code Enforcement several times to get somebody to finish the job they started. The two
sheds that will disappear, she understands. However, she would like to put a time limit
on it such as 10-14 days after the completion. Ms. Bosworth stated that, because there
is a contract, if it is not CO'd through the Building Department system —if that CO is never
issued —within 6 months that permit expires, and there are additional fees that the
contractor would have to pay. There was general discussion regarding the two sheds
among the applicant, the commissioners, staff, and the City Attorney. The City Attorney
stated that with respect to a motion, she would feel most comfortable if you would stick
with the standard guidelines that are in place already that Ms. Bosworth mentioned. From
an enforcement standpoint with Code Enforcement, it would be most practical to stick
with those and follow the Building Department guidelines. She would not feel comfortable
imposing any of these different timelines as opposed to what are in place already, and
she gave examples of why she has that opinion.
There being no further discussion, Ms. Kautenburg called for a motion. A motion
approving the accessory structure review for 493 Englar Drive, a 1,000 square foot
detached garage, was made by Mr. Carter and seconded by Mr. Haddix.

8. Project Description
a. Narrative of proposed action: Cross Creek Addition, Inc. is requesting approval for
a 24.4 acre parcel to be divided into 35 residential lots. The location of the proposed
development is south and adjacent to the previously approved residential subdivision known
as Cross Creek Lakes Estates (parent parcel). The property is currently designated as
VLDR (Very Low Density, maximum 3 units/acre), with a corresponding zoning designation
of RS-10 (Residential Single Family). The proposed Cross Creek Lakes Estates Addition
(CCLE Addition)) is proposed to contain 35 single-family residential lots with a minimum lot
size of 14,200 SF; thus a proposed density of 1.43 units/acre, which is below the 3
units/acre permitted within the VLDR category. The proposed project also, in addition to
standard utility and stormwater infrastructure, includes 1.82 acres of passive recreational
area, and a secondary access along the western end of Yearling Trail to the Shakespeare
Street & Lanfair Avenue intersection.

13. Other Matters:
Cross Creek Lake Estates, the parent parcel, consists of 134 lots on 160 acres and was
annexed into the City in 2004. The CCLE Addition property was annexed in 2005. As part
of the annexation benefit, the developer fully constructed Powerline Road from Barber
Street south to CR 510. The Preliminary Plat for the parent parcel was approved in 2004,
with construction and final platting of the first phases done in 2013. Subsequent platting
for the following phases ensued, with the last phase platted in 2018. In 2020, a
Preliminary Plat for the CCLE Addition parcel, consisting of 24 lots on 24.42 acres, was
reviewed by the PZ Commission, and approved by City Council via Resolution R-20-28.
Construction was never started, and as per LDC time limits allow (18 months), the plat
approval has expired. At those public hearings, a petition from the CCLE residents was
presented to the PZ Commission and Council (EXHIBIT A, attached) with three main
concerns. With the current application, the residents' concerns have been taken into
consideration, and have been addressed with the current plat design and recommended
conditions of approval.
5
The CCLE Addition parcel is a landlocked parcel, and when it was annexed in 2005,
access to the property was presented to be via the CCLE parent parcel. When the
preliminary plat for the parent parcel was submitted in 2004, development on the CCLE
Addition parcel was not a part of the proposed plat, nor represented as a future phase. As
such, and though the CCLE Addition will be incorporated into the existing CCLE HOA, the
plat for the Addition is considered a new subdivision, and must comply with all applicable
subdivision requirements.
In accordance with Article 19, Subdivision Land Development Regulations, two points of
ingress and egress are required for all subdivisions. Also, Policy 2-1.6.8 from the Land
Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan states "The City shall require that future
subdivision with 25 units or more, at a minimum, have at least two (2) points of access
open to motor vehicle traffic." Initially, the plat for the parent parcel included a design for
the required secondary access, and proposed to make improvements to the one-way area
of Shakespeare Street by conveying additional Right -of -Way to the City. After review and
consideration by the City Council at that time, adjustments were granted to remove the
secondary access, add an emergency access point on Powerline Road, and eliminate the
improvements to Shakespeare. This decision may have been predicated on, that in 2004,
an extension of Shakespeare was not yet feasible. The River Oaks Preserve project had
not yet been annexed or submitted, nor was there knowledge that there would be a future
annexation of the parcel west and adjacent to the CCLE Addition, both projects conveying
ROW, which currently makes an extension of Shakespeare Street viable.
Therefore, per Article 19 and Policy 2-1.6.8, and in consideration that extending
Shakespeare Street is now feasible, the current application was required to include a
second access point for the new, proposed 35 lots. A proposed design for the second
access is included with the submitted plat. Staff recommends this access point should be
fully designed, include any improvements necessary to the Shakespeare and Lanfair
Avenue intersection so that it meets FDOT and city design standards, and be completed
prior to issuance of the final certificate of completion. The second access point may be
gated, and in consideration of the existing surrounding streets and neighborhood, can be
used as an emergency access only until such time as when Shakespeare Street is
extended and open to CR 510. When this occurs, the second access point must be
opened to the residents of CCLE for full access.
• The applicant has submitted environmental reports and surveys, indicating there does not
appear to be any gopher tortoise or scrub jay habitats affected within the proposed
development area. Updated reports and surveys will be required before any landclearing or
construction activities will be permitted, including for the secondary access point area.
The proposed stormwater system is independent from the parent parcel's system. Its
proposed outfall is into the Sebastian River Improvement District's (SRID) canal that runs
along the CCLE Addition's southern border. Staff has received written correspondence from
SRID stating that they concur with the initial design, but will be requiring additional
information when the subdivision construction plans are submitted.
Section 54-4-19.11(h) requires that subdivisions must dedicate lands for parks and
recreational use, specifically four acres for every 1000 persons. Two acres can be for
neighborhood parks, and two acres must be for community parks, i.e. recreational areas
C.1
that can also be accessed and used by Sebastian residents. If such acreage is not
available, or the proposed subdivision consists of 100 dwelling units or less, the developer
may, in lieu of dedicating land, pay a fee equal to the fair market value of the land which
would have been dedicated. Based on the proposed 35 lots, CCLE Addition is required to
provide .35 acres of land dedicated to recreational space. They are providing 1.82 acres,
see Tract E for lake access, and Tract F for walking trails and lake viewing. However, since
these areas are located within a private subdivision, and the applicant has stated he does
not wish to open these areas to the community, he has agreed to pay a fee -in -lieu of
dedication, which per Section 54-4-19.11(h)(4), cannot be less than for one acre. Section
54-3-9.4(b) requires the fee -in -lieu to be paid before final platting.
The applicant is seeking an adjustment from Section 54-4-19.12(c) regarding the
requirements for Street Lights. The developer, and HOA through its Covenants and Deed
Restrictions, has placed provisions requiring property owners to install and maintain a
lamp post that is activated by a photo cell on each developed property. The lamp -post
must be kept operational and placed on private property as dictated by the existing
covenants and restrictions. It shall be the individual homeowner's responsibility to
maintain each lamp post.
The applicant is also seeking an adjustment from Section 54-4-19.11(i)(4).h which limits
the length of a cul-de-sac to 600'. The intent of the Land Development Regulations limiting
cul-de-sac length was to ensure fire department access to all properties and connectivity
to Fire Hydrants. As the proposed subdivision has four (4) fire hydrants and a stabilized
access easement which connects the two northern and southern cul-de-sacs that could be
used by emergency vehicles, the Fire Marshall has determined that the entire subdivision
has adequate fire protection, and thus can support the cul-de-sac length to exceed the
600' limitation. The proposed roadway and cul-de-sac for Magnolia Court is approximately
1500' in length.
14. Analysis: Staff has reviewed the proposed plat in accordance with Article 19 of the Land
Development Code regarding the following:
• Ingress/egress to and from the development area;
• Adequate internal streets;
• Access to water and sewer;
• Adequate access to the utility system/capacity of those utilities to support development;
• Adequate drainage;
• Fire and Police access;
• Recreation and access to amenities;
• Street lights;
• Sidewalks;
• Flora & Fauna protection;
and has found the application to be of sound design and, with consideration of discussed matters
and the recommended Conditions of Approval, in compliance with city subdivision requirements.
7
15. Conclusion: The proposed Cross Creek Lake Estates Addition Subdivision is consistent with all
applicable state and local laws with respect to subdivision development, including provisions
contained within the city's Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code.
16. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the proposed Preliminary Plat for Cross
Creek Lakes Addition Subdivision with the following conditions:
1. The requested adjustments to LDC Section 54-4-19.12(c) Street lighting, and Section 54-4-
19.11(i)(4)h Cul-de-Sac length, are granted;
2. Construction of a fully designed, second access point is required in the southwestern portion
of the top loop of Yearling Trail at the Shakespeare Street and Lanfair Avenue intersection
prior to issuance of the final certificate of completion. Final design shall be included with the
submittal of the CCLE Addition's subdivision construction plans, and shall include any
improvements necessary to the aforementioned intersection so that it meets FDOT and city
design standards. The maintenance of the second access shall be the responsibility of the
CCLE HOA, which can be gated. The second access point may be used as an emergency
access only until such time as when Shakespeare Street is extended and open to CR 510.
When this occurs, the second access point must be opened to the residents of CCLE for full
access.
3. The final stormwater design shall be re -submitted with the subdivision construction plans after
review and approval by SJRWMD and SRID, and shall address any remaining comments
from the city's consulting engineer.
4. A recreational fee -in -lieu payment for one (1) acre of land must be received, and/or an
agreement regarding the fee -in -lieu payment must be executed with the City before final
platting of the subdivision can occur.
5. A Gopher Tortoise survey in accordance with Fish and Wildlife Service guidelines shall be
updated & submitted prior to issuance of any Land Clearing Permit and site development
activities, including for the area of the second access point.
6. Subdivision construction traffic for the CCLE Addition parcel shall enter from the primary
entrance on Powerline Road and not from Shakespeare Street or Lanfair Avenue

EXHIBIT A
2020 Petition
Good evening
My name is Kathi Armstrong and I wish to make a brief statement on behalf of our community.
Following this there are few other community members who wish to speak, as well. "" (hand board
members copy of statement, if needed)
We, the undersigned individual property owners and members of the Cross Creek Lake Estates
Homeowners Association (CCLE HOA), ask that the Zoning Board withhold approval of this Preliminary
Plat Approval Request. We have two major areas of concerns regarding the current proposed
preliminary plat:
1. Lots 23 & 24, as shown on the proposed plat, are designated as building parcels. Since the
approval and subsequent opening of the development, known as Cross Creek Lake Estates, in
2013, marketing of the development has included the inclusion of an on -site Boat/RV Storage
Area (Attachment 1: ADVERTISING SAMPLES). As recently as a few months ago Mr. Fischer has
had individuals working on site development of this Storage Area (Attachment 2: IDENTIFIED
STORAGE AREA). This RV/Boat Storage Lot has also been referenced in past Annual HOA
Meeting Minutes (Attachment 3: MINUTES 2027 and 2018 ANNUAL MEETING MINUTES).
Several lot owners have been told directly by Mr. Fischer and his representatives that the area
designated Lots 23 & 24 Is for Boat/RV Storage. Because of this we believe that the approval
should be withheld until this issue is resolved to the satisfaction of the property owners and
members of the CCLE HOA.
2. Regarding the Recommendations for the Emergency Access Entrance, homeowners living
directly across from the designated location were not notified of this Zoning meeting. Since this
new Emergency Access Entrance is not located within the CCLE Addition, but within the original
CCLE development, we believe that the specific details need to be finalized and approved by
those homeowners most significantly affected before any approval to the addition Is given.
The staff report further indicates that "as Shakespeare Street does not meet the current
standards, the emergency access shall remain as such, with the provision that it must be
improved to become a secondary entranc%xit when Shakespeare Street is modified to meet
current standards." We assume the City will be making the mentioned improvements to
Shakespeare Street at which time the emergency ingress/egress will become a main
entry/exit What is the timing of these improvements to Shakespeare and who will bear the
cost of then improving the 'emergency' entrance/exit to make it another main entrance/exit?
We are also concerned about the design of a new gate. We believe that for safety and security
reasons any gate installed needs to match the height and Integrity of the existing fencing and
front gate. The current secondary emergency access for our neighborhood Is a sloped grassy
section of land between Yearling Trail and & 70e` Avenue that is not paved. The gate is
overgrown with vines and inoperable in its current state (Attachment 4 CURRENT EMERGENCY
ACCESS). It should also be noted that in the request for PLAT 1 in 2013, TRACT K is designated as
a permanent emergency access, although nothing has ever happened in the identification and
use of that area, as such. This access is also overgrown and inaccessible (Attachment 5 PLAT 1
SUBMISSION AND ACCESS). In the current request it is recommended that the board might
consider mandating the design of a second emergency access as part of the approval process.
We, the homeowners, ask that it not only be mandated, but that it be noted that all
requirements foregressing onto the roadways be in compliance with town and county
requirements before approval of the addition Is given.
Lastly, the report states that "The applicant has submitted an environmental report, there does
not appear to be any gopher tortoise or scrub jay habitats affected within the proposed
development area'. This may not be wholly accurate. There are four nests on the Shakespeare
side of Yearling Trail, starting across from block one lot six and across from 505 and 507
Yearling. (Attachment 6 GOPHER TORTOISE HABITAT). We ask for further investigation into the
Gopher Tortoise habitat to ensure its integrity, in accordance with the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Service guidelines.
Because of these concerns, we respectfully request that you withhold approval of this Preliminary Plat.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This assessment is in support of the development approval for the subject ±43.98-acre
site in Indian River County.
2.0 SITE LOCATION
The project is located within Section 30, Township 31 South, Range 39 East within
Indian River County, Florida (Figure 1).
The subject property includes a vacant, previously developed agricultural property.
Bordering land uses include residential to the north, with open lands to the south, east
and west.
3.0 METHODOLOGY
The assessment methodology consisted of the review of topographic information, soils
maps, and recent aerial photographs.
A field reconnaissance of the subject parcel was then conducted which included
pedestrian transects through the parcel to map and identify specific habitat and land
uses and vegetative cover types. A perimeter transects were conducted to confirm
features that extend off site. Field notes were taken and an aerial photograph was
marked with land use and cover types and any environmental findings.
4.0 TOPOGRAPHY/HYDROLOGY
According to the U.S.G.S. topographic (Sebastian Quadrangle), the site is relatively flat
at an average elevation of 20 feet NGVD, sloping towards the southwest. (Figure 1).
The site is depicted as undeveloped lands. There are no structures, wetlands shown on
the topographic map. A small water body is shown in the north central portion, along
with an east -west ditch from the east ending halfway through the site to the west.
5.0 SOILS
According to the Web Soil Survey of Indian River County, FL (NRCS — Web Soil
Survey), the following soil is found on site (Figure 2).
Eau Gallie fine sand (3)
Mvakka-Mvakka. wet, fine sands. 0 to 2% slopes (5)
Oldsmar fine sand (6)
Riviera fine sand. 0 to 2% slopes (10)
Wabasso-Wabasso. wet, fine sand, 0 to 2% slooes (13)
Arents, 0 to 5% slopes (23)
The soils appear to be disturbed by past agricultural activities. The historic aerials show
fish ponds.present in the northwest section of the site. None of these soils are classified
as hydric.
6.0 SITE CONDITIONS
An assessment of the extent, distribution, and composition of vegetative communities
for the site was originally conducted by Chris Sopotnick of Ecological Consulting of
Florida (ECF), on May 11, 2021, with later investigations made on June 15, 2022, for
the eastern addition. The entire site was re -assessed during the 2022 investigation.
Pedestrian transects were conducted throughout the site with vegetative communities
mapped on a recent aerial photograph.
A description of each community type is provided in the Habitat/Land Use section of this
report.
7.0 HABITAT/LAND USE
Onsite habitats and adjacent land uses have been characterized using the Florida Land
Use Cover and Forms Classifications System (FWC, 2009) (FLUCFCS), and are
described below and depicted on the Land Use and Cover Map (Figure 3).
o 1780 — Bare Soil: this area has been cleared of vegetation with spoil raised around
three sides. The are is open soil, with a portion paved and likely serving as storage
parking.
o 17315 — Other Open Lands - Rural: this cover type shows evidence of past
disturbance. A review of the historic aerials identify that the site was used for
agriculture (fish ponds) dating back to 1985. The ponds persisted and the site
appears overgrown with vegetation until the 2019 aerial. Vegetation piles are
currently on site and include Brazilian Pepper (Shinus terebinthifolius), a few laurel
oaks (Quercus laurifolia) and cabbage palms (Sabal palmetto) are present with the
site primarily being covered with guinea grass (Megathyrsus maximus), ragweed
(Ambrosia artemisiifolia), bidens (Bidens pilosa), dog fennel (Eupatorium
capillifolium) and grapevine (Vitus Spp). Three abandoned structures are noted and
all ponds have been filled.
0 2100 — Freshwater Non -Forested Wetland: this area is vegetated with cattails
(Typha spp), primrose willow (Luwigia peruviana), paragrass (Brachiaria mutica) and
water hyssop (Bacopa monnien), sedge (Rhynchospora spp), and a few
pickerelweed (Pontedaria cordata).
o 3210 — Artificial/Farm Pond: the feature is a small borrow pond that is densely
vegetated with cattails and Carolina willow (Salix carolinana).
o 4220 — Ditch/Artificial Intermittent Stream: this feature is an upland cut drainage
ditch that traverses the site north south in the central part of the property, connecting
to an east -west ditch, with both outfalling to the main drainage ditch offsite to the
south.
o 7100 — Australian Pine: this habitat is disturbed and includes a monoculture of
Australian pine (Casuarina equisetifolia). A pine needle duff layer covers the ground
with fallen trees throughout. No other vegetation is present in this cover type.
o 7300 — Brazilian Pepper: this cover type is disturbed and dominated by Brazilian
pepper. Other vegetation noted includes cabbage plams and laurel oaks.

8.0 CRITICAL HABITAT/ LISTED SPECIES OBSERVATION
The site was reviewed for the presence of habitat conducive to federal and state listed
flora and fauna. An initial review documented vegetative communities and noted areas
listed as potential habitat.
Although disturbed, the site has habitat conducive to gopher tortoises. One burrow
potentially occupied tortoise burrow was observed in the southeast corner near the farm
pond. Prior to development (no more than 90 days from earthwork) a 100 percent
survey of the site should be surveyed.
The Other Open Land — Rural is considered low quality habitat for Florida scrub jay.
This species is listed as threatened by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
Although not considered prime habitat, scrub jays can be found not far to the east of this
parcel and therefore a full scrub jay survey of this habitat is recommended. The survey
should be conducted in the months of March, September, or October to confirm no birds
utilize this site for foraging.
A database search of FWC records for documented bald eagle nests was conducted
and none were noted for the property or within 0.5 mile of the site.
Non -listed wildlife or signs of species observed include cottontail rabbit, cardinal, cattle
egret, common wren, black racer snake, and raccoon (tracks/scat). All species of
wildlife observed are typical representatives of the habitats on site. None are unusual
for the Indian River County Area.

The Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) provides a matrix by County of rare and
endangered species in Florida. Based on the known distribution and preferred habitats
of certain species, the following listed wildlife has the potential to occur on site:

9.0 WETLANDS AND SURFACE WATERS
The soils map, topographic map and National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps were
reviewed to identify potential wetland areas. Subsequent field reconnaissance was
performed to confirm limits of wetlands within the project site.
The site soils have been altered throughout the years by agricultural management and
more recently vegetation clearing.
The topographic map nor the NWI map showed any wetlands or surface waters on site.
Site reconnaissance identified an other surface water on site (Farm Pond (FLCCS
3210). No wetlands were identified. The surface water is an excavated area that has
standing water and hydric vegetation present. In addition to the farm pond, the two
ditches (FLCCS 4220) on site would be considered surface waters.
The surface waters are regulated by the St. Johns River Water Management District
(SJRWMD) and would require permitting if impacted. SJRWMD will require an inventory
of the other surface waters as well as showing them on the permit drawings, however
mitigation will not be required for impacts to this feature.
Federal 404 jurisdiction (wetlands) is regulated by either the US Army Corps of
Engineers (USACOE) or the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP).
Based on the wetlands being inland from tidal waters, FDEP would be the agency to
address federal 404 jurisdiction if warranted. The ditches are considered upland cut and
should be exempt from federal 404 jurisdiction. Prior to development coordination with
FDEP should occur. Based on the upland cut nature of the surface waters they should
meet the criteria of No Permit Required (NPR). This will need to be confirmed by FDEP
during the permitting process.
G]
10.0 CONCLUSION
The subject property includes vacant, disturbed lands.
Habitat for listed species was identified. Gopher tortoises and scrub jays have the
potential to be found in the Other Open Land — Rural land use. Although considered a
low probability this habitat is close to an active population of scrub jays (less than 1.5
miles east) and a tortoise burrow was observed. A 100-percent tortoise burrow survey is
recommended prior to construction. Although the on site habitat is marginal for scrub
jays a full survey is recommended in the months of September, October or March.
Surface waters are found on site and are considered jurisdictional by the SJRWMD. The
wetlands will need to be permitted as part of the ERP process, but will not require
mitigation.
A 404 No Permit Required request is recommended to be submitted to FDEP to confirm
no jurisdiction over the ditches (upland cut). Based on the current navigable waters
executive order it is not anticipated that the ditches will fall under federal jurisdiction.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This assessment is in support of the City of Sebastian development approval process.
The development will include residential housing and stormwater improvements.
This survey is being provided to confirm whether scrub jays utilize the subject property
2.0 SITE LOCATION
The project is located within Section 30, Township 31 South, Range 39 East within
Indian River County, Florida (Figure 1).
The subject property includes a vacant, previously developed agricultural property.
Bordering land uses include residential to the north, with open lands to the south, east
and west.
3.0 METHODOLOGY
The assessment methodology consisted of the review of topographic information, soils
maps, and recent aerial photographs.
Habitat on site is considered low probability for scrub jays as it is fully grassed and
mowed on a regular basis. The surrounding properties are either residential
communities or agricultural uses and do not include typical scrub jay habitat such as
scrub or palmetto prairie. However, as this property is within Indian River County and
east of 1-95 a scrub jay survey is being conducted to confirm no usage by scrub jays.
Two stations were established for playback and monitoring stations. The habitat is open
and sound carries well so the station were established at less than 660 feet apart per
USFWS guidelines.
4.0 FLORIDA SCRUB JAY SURVEY
The site was originally reviewed by ECF June 15, 2022 with this scrub jay survey
conducted from October 17-21, 2022.
After defining habitats on site, transects were established with playback stations
identified. Playback stations were placed no more than 660-feet (200-meters) apart,
with denser habitat requiring 330-feet (100-meters). Playback Stations were established
and are identified on Figure 1. Field surveys were then conducted over five consecutive
days. Pedestrian surveys were conducted from sunrise to no later than mid morning.
Florida Scrub Jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) vocalizations of territorial scoldings,
including the female "hiccup" call were played at playback stations in all four cardinal
directions at each station. Field notes were taken to document any occurrences.
Various songbirds including mocking birds and blue jays, were noted during the survey
No scrub jays were sighted, nor were any calls answered during the survey.
5.0 RESULTS
A recent scrub jay survey was conducted for the 2022 season and no scrub jays were
observed nor were any calls noted during the survey.
Based on the results of this survey, it is our opinion that no scrub jays are on site and no
territories extend to the property. The subject property is not located near any known
scrub jay parcels and lacks traditional scrub jay habitat. The site is bordered by
residential land uses and agriculture.
Conditions for the 2022 scrub jay survey were good for sightings, and none were
observed. It is ECF's opinion that no scrub jays utilize the site.
