iii. Or~linance No. 0-97-20 - LDC & Board of A~ustment Procedures - Title Changes
Mrs. Sullivan said original minutes should be filed in the City Clerks office. The Director of
Community Development concurred.
Mayor Barnes inquired why the City Clerk would not select the board secretary. The Director
of Community Development said there is a new position in the Community Development
Department which organizationally covers all board minutes.
iv. Or~ir~ance No. 0-97-25 - Public Hearing Procedures
The Director of Community Development said he had combined public hearing
procedures of different types into one section.
Mrs. Sullivan asked the definition of"directory" in regard to mailing. The Director of
Community Development said the requirement is stated as "directory and not mandatory"
and that the names of property owners are obtained from the applicant from the Indian
River County property appraiser records.
Mayor Barnes asked about the posting of properties. The Director of Community
Development said posting would be done in addition to other required notices.
Mayor Barnes said he would like to see noticing done for all properties adjacent to all
subject property rather than for each individual phase of a project. The City Manager
suggested he meet with the Director of Community Development on this matter before the
ordinance comes back. City Council concurred.
City Council concurred that the language be changed to reflect that a sign on the property
"shall" be posted.
The City Clerk recommended that "However, nothing contained herein shall be
inconsistent with Florida Statutes" be lef~ in the language. The Director of Community
Development concurred.

Ordinance No, 0-97-31 - Subdivision Improvement/Design Standards - Title
Changes - Muck or CI~ Fill P~rrait
Mayor Barnes inquired about the need for the City staff involvement with Indian River
County water approval. The Director of Community Development recommended
changing the language to "approval by Indian River County Utilities". City Council
concurred.
Mrs. Cartwright said bulkheads, docks and piers should be approved by the Director of
Community Development "under consultation with the City Engineer" and after approval
of the governing agency. The Director of Community Development he agreed except that
the state agencies require local permits first, but the permit can be conditional upon
receipt of state permits. There were no objections.
Mrs. Cartwright reiterated approval in consultation with the City Engineer for waivers.
The Director of Community Development agreed.
Mrs. Cartwright suggested City Council should waive underground utility requirements.
The City Manager recommended that waivers be approved by City Council rather than
staff City Council concurred.

Mrs. Cartwright questioned to what "a specified amount of time" referred relative to the
timing of plat submission. The Director of Community Development suggested 90 days.
City Council concurred.
Mrs. Sullivan inquired about the general statement requirement for preliminary plats. The
Director of Community Development said the general statement is made at the time of
pre-application conference and then the specific details come later.
The City Manager agreed that requiring a developer to submit a final design prior to a pre-
application conference with no guarantee of approval is not a fair way of dealing with
developers.
The Director of Community Development suggested addition of language in that section
that "Council will approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove". There were no
objections.
Mayor Barnes asked if there was any penalty for partial construction which is then
abandoned. The City Manager said there is no assurance if a developer has not filed a plat
and surety bond.
The City Manager recommended against the applicant recording a final plat with the Clerk
of the Circuit Court. The Director of Community Development suggested the cost of
recording be borne by the applicant. City Council concurred with both suggestions.
97.049
viii. Ordinance No~ 0-97-40 - Procedures Re: Construction of Required Improvements
Mrs. Cartwright recommended taking out "preliminary plat" for "required improvements".
The Director of Community Development concurred and said this reference to 18 months
should be reduced to 12 months as before. There were no objections.

Review When COR (Commercial Office Residential) Zoning District isto be C9.nsid~r~cl
Residential Use (CoramuniLv Development Transmittal 3/17/97, Conditional Use Criteria,
Map Showing COR Zoning)
The Director of Community Development sought guidance as to when COR should be
considered residential and commercial when conditional uses are being considered. He
said staffhas identified certain conditional uses which should not be considered
compatible uses when considering COR as residential.
Mrs. Sullivan expressed concern that bars and lounges are allowed as conditional uses
within 100 feet of schools, places of worship or residential.
The Director of Community Development agreed that other areas relative to conditional
uses need to be addressed. City Council concurred on the four areas identified by staff
whereby COR should be considered residential.

D. Review City Council Meeting Procedures Resolution No. R-97-02 (R.-97-0.?.,)
Mayor Barnes suggested regular meetings which are held on the second and fourth
Wednesdays always begin at 7:00 p.m.
Mayor Barnes suggested that "Introduction of New Business" be moved forward on the
agenda. The City Clerk said the City Manager sets the agenda. The City Manager
suggested that public comment be moved forward to just after Public Hearing.
Mr. Taracka asked why 10 copies of written backup must be provided. The City Clerk
explained that when an individual requests an item he/she would provide sufficient backup
for all parties who receive packets.
Mayor Cartwright suggested that sign-up sheets for public input on agenda items be done
away with. The City Clerk said people should be required to state and spell their name.
