The Director of Community Devplopment briefly described the ordinance as revised and said a
secon.d public hearing will be conducted on January 28, 1998.
Sal Neglia, 461 Georgia Boulevard, Sebastian, objected to the. ordinance as presented.
Chuck Neuberger, 357 Melrose Avenue,.Sebastian, objected to the ordinance as presented.
The Director of Community Development gave his summation.
Mayor Barnes closed the public heating at 7:23 p.m.
Mrs. Sullivan said she would like the machines identified as "commercial" rather than "stationary".
It was thc conscnsus of Council that language be changed to "ten acres or more", making thc
ordinance morc restrictive, bringing up the question of whether this heating would have to be
readvertised. Mrs. Sullivan suggcsted that this be a special use permit approved by Council rather
than a conditional use approved by Planning and Zoning.
Mayor Barnes said he would not have a problem with confining these machines to industrial districts
and treating them as special use permits.
Charles Cramer responded to Mayor Barnes' questions about the location of the Indian River Tree
Recycling and Mulch mulching machine, who said he had been receiving noise complaints. The City
Manager said the machine is located approximately 1/4 mile from adjacent residential.
TAPE I - SIDE II (7:45 p.m.)
Mr. Taracka agreed with confining to industrial and approving as a special use permit. He asked for
a definition of"nuisance".
Mrs. Cartwright said staff drafted what Council directed them to and disagreed with revisions
discussed tonight.

George SI;feet Traffic Study Report (City Eilgila?er Transmittal 12/31/97- Sludy)
The City Engineer gave a brief summmy of the report on her study of Wave and George Streets; and
in conclusion said, from a traffic engineering standpoint, there is no problem with traffic safety,
speed or volumes on George Street and additional action is not warranted. She said, however, there
are options available for Council if it' chooses, as stated in her report.

ojRegular City Council Meeting
anuary 14, 1998
Page Eight
Mayor Barnes called recess at 8:25 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 8:35 p.m. All members were
pr6sent..
Bob Ashcroft, 785 George Street, Sebastian, said he conducted his own traffic study and found many
prOblems.
Ed Gavin, 875 George Street, Sebastian, asked why the speed limit is 30 rather than 25; and he
proposed putting in stop signs.
Michael Galloway, Sebastian, said people feel they are being ignored and that this is a dangerous
street.
TAPE II - SIDE I (8:45 p.m.)
Mayor Barnes said there are other areas in town where speeding is a problem and George Street is
not unique. Mr. Taracka said he spent time on George and Wave and reported on his findings. He
proposed to set up one way west on Wave Street for six months (option 2) Mrs. Cartwright said she
has been using George to Carnation recently and has found that Carnation is little used, inquired
about the use of a three way stop or lowering speed limit. She agreed with option 1, taking the traffic
off George, and lowering the speed limit.
Tom Roberts, 781 George Street, Sebastian, said Wave Street was never to have been a through
street.
Mr. Paul said one-waying will set a preeedence, although he ,~as willing to try it for a short time;
however he said he believed speeding will continue on George Street.
The City Manager said he thought both recommended options could be tried beginning with one for
ninety days and then adding thc other to it for an additional ninety days.
Mrs. Sullivan said speed on George Street is the problem, and suggested rumble strips or signs.
TAPE II - SIDE II (9:32 p.m.)
Mr. Paul Suggested using each option individually, however, the City Manager said he had suggested
using one option and then adding the other option to it.
There was a consensus for h'3fing option #2 first and then in 90 days add option # 1 in accordance
with City Manager recommendation. The City Manager said if there is any drastic change with
option #2 he may come back to Council before option # 1 is implemented.
