Mayor Barnes opened the public heating at 7:01 p.m. and Attorney Williams read Ordinance No. O-98-01 by title only. The City Manager read a chronological history of the City's comprehensive land use plan. The Director of Community Development said previous revisions made to the amendments are listed on facing pages; and he advised that two separate parcels in the City will have to be addressed for the future land use map. He advised that three revisions to the language be made as stated on the agenda transmittal (see attached). Bob Ashcrofi, 785 George Street, Sebastian, spoke relative to future traffic plans. Carolyn Corem, 881 Dolores Street, Sebastian, said Roger Wilbum of Department of Community Affairs (DCA) had advised her on 2/5/98 that there were inconsistencies in the City's Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR). The City Manager explained the purpose of the EAR and Tom Tempia said the City's EAR was reviewed by DCA strictly for sufficiency, not contents, and had been found sufficient by DCA. Following some input from Mrs. Corem, it was apparent she had received an old copy of the EAR and the City Manager, on behalf of staff, apologized to her. Mrs. Corum expressed concern for increasing the density in medium density residential to 9 units per acre in policy 1-3.2.3 (page 8). ii (7:47 p.m.) 2 pSPaecial City Council Meeting arch 4, 1998 ge Three It was the consensus of Council to leave policy 1-3.2.3 (page 8) at 8 units per acre, but to add language on pages 2 and 3 to specifically allow no more than a duplex on specific lots. Mrs. Corum objected to the Gibson extension to the north due to incompatibility with the conservation area it would pass through. The City Manager explained that Council had specifically requested consideration for Gibson Street and an avigation easement when Indian River County purchased the property. He said Indian River County cannot guarantee alignment with the existing Gibson but the City did not want the door dosed on the possibility of a north/south corridor there. A lengthy discussion took place on whether a reference to the maps that were deleted with the objective that referred to policy 6-1.2 should be put back in. Mr. Tempia explained that the change in the policy makes a reference moot. TAPE II - SIDE I (8:35 p.m.) There was a 4-1 (Sullivan) consensus poll to leave the amendment as presented in the fourth draft with the deletion of the objective. Mayor Barnes called recess from 8:39 p.m. to 8:52 p.m. All members were present. A lengthy discussion took place on policy 6-1.2.1. relative to whether the City should regulate littoral zones by keeping language in the comprehensive plan, or by regulating it through the Land Development Code, and conforming to St. Johns River Water Management District and Department of Environmental Protection. There was a 3-2 consensus (Sullivan and Barnes) to leave the amendment as presented in the fourth draft with the deletion of the paragraph b. Discussion took place on sandmining regulation. The Director of Community Development said the Land Planning Agency was working on new excavation regulations for the Land Development Code. TAPE II - SIDE II (9:35 p.m.) There was 5-0 consensus to leave the amendment regarding sandmining as presented in the fourth draft. The Director of Community Development said he will be bringing concurrency management, Land Development regulation, and zoning ordinances before Council soon. At the suggestion of Mr. Tempia, there was a consensus to put references to Table I-1 & Map 1-9 back in objective 6-1.9 from the sentence beginning "Map I-9 ...... "to the end of the paragraph. He also mentioned changing the reference to I-3 to I-1. Mrs. Sullivan requested that references to public/private partnerships and creation of public parking be stricken in policy 1-1.2.4. Mayor Barnes said he did not see a need for a committee to do any more review on the Riverfront that Council could not do. The Director of Community Development suggested "as determined by the City Council" after the word "study". The City Manager suggested changing "on-going" to ~Special City Council Meeting arch 4, 1998 I~P~ge Four "periodic". Mrs. Cartwright suggested adding "the study shall investigate actions deemed necessary by the City Council." There was a consensus to add a reference to City Council determining the need for further study, but the exact language is unclear. It was clear that references to public/private partnerships or public parking lots were not deleted. There was a 4-1 (Sullivan) consensus to leave "farmers markets" and "and other enclosed commercial amusements" in policy 1-2.2.5. TAPE III - SIDE I (10:20 p.m.) At 10:30 p.m., Mayor Barnes asked for a motion to extend the meeting. MOTION by Sullivan/Taracka I would so move. ROLL CALL: Mrs. Cartwdght - aye Mr. Paul - nay Mrs. Sullivan - aye Mr. Barnes - aye Mr. Taracka - aye MOTION CARRIED 4-1 (Paul - nay) Policy 5-1.1.2. and Policy 5-1.10.1. - "and west" was added after "east" and before "of". The Director of Community Development requested direction on two lots in the north section of the City. There was consensus to make the property High Density Residential with 12 units per acre. The Director of Community'CWC'reeeived a consensus to make another property in the central area of the City near CR512 General Commercial. There was a consensus on Policy 2-1.3.2. to add a new bullet "1999 - Initiate Discussion with Indian River County for Interlocal Agreement for Vocelle/Fleming Extension" and to delete the 2000 bullet. The Director of Community Development asked for a motion to approve Ordinance No. O-98-01; and authorize the City Manager to send the proposed comprehensive plan amendments as amended to the Department of Community Affairs and other state agencies for review. Mayor Barnes closed the public hearing. 4 pecial City Council Meeting March 4, 1998 Page Five MOTION by Cartwright/Taracka So moved.

The amendments have been revised based on the direction of the Council. Three revisions were not included in the 4th draft. They are: 1. Page 1 of 39. Leave "core" in; include the CR-512 area and delete "tourism". 2. Page 9 of 39. Change January, 1998 to January 1999 in policy 1-3.3. 3..Page 1 O, of 3 9. Change "protected" to "conserved and protected". Florida Statute spells out how amendments to the comprehensive plan are to be accomplished. The LPA prepares the amendments and makes a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council holds a "transmittal public hearing" and approves the transmittal of the proposed amendments to the Department of Community Affairs. The Department reviews the amendments and issues an Objections, Recommendations, and Comments Report (the ORC Report). The City Council considers the ORC report and may revise the proposed amendments. The City Council then holds an adoption public hearing. The City Council may make revisions based on the public input. The City Council then adopts the plan amendments. The City is at the transmittal phase. The transmittal of the plan does not set policy, it only allows the required review by the state.
