Flooding Predicljon~$ for the Highlands Subdivision (City Manager/P~blic Works Transmittal
8/28/9_7, Hill Letter 8/28/97.,_FEMA Letter, City Manoger Memo, Map)
Jolm Hill, Craven Thompson & Associates, said that evaluation of the City's flood zones was a part
of his contract with the City and made a brief presentation on his report and exhibited a map
indicating the areas he believed would be subject to flooding in a 100 year storm although, he said,
not all lots would be involved based on their elevations. His report discussed drainage solutions for
the City such as actively engaging citizens in establishing priorities, allocating sufficient resources to
restore drainage systems, adopting and supporting proper lot development regulations, continuing
the City's alliance with St. Johns and the Department of Revenue, and introducing drainage
programs.
The City Manager presented a concept map showing six separate districts that could be designated as
drainage districts with six members appointed from each district to a City Stormwater advisory
cormnittee to provide reconunendations to City Council.
Mr. Hill said FEMA has a program to pay for remapping, meanwhile, he said residents may want to
consider flood insurance if their homes are Iow-lying. He said he believed that remapping would
result in a much broader flood zone area.
The City Manager said these items could be scheduled for upcoming meetings for action to allow
some time for review by Council and additional information from staff.
it was the consensus of Council to support the establishment of the advisory committee.

The following ra¢mbers of the public provided questions as follows:
John Ellis, 402 Rolling Hill Drive, Sebastian, requested names of investors and cost for cable.
Ray Coniglio, 941 Carnation Drive, Sebastian, asked what other services could be provided.
Sal Neglia, 461 Georgia Boulevard, Sebastian, inquired about duplication of channels.
Tut Connelly, 149 Kildare Drive, Sebastian, asked about intemet provider and channel menus.
Harry Thomas, 654 Balboa Street, Sebastian, asked about program offerings and internet lines.

Martha Wininger, 106 Thunderbird Drive, Sebastian, asked about company experience and
duplication of channels.
Fred Mensing, 129th Street, Roseland, asked whether the system will handle digital analog television
and whether the service will reach beyond Sebastian.
Mr. Shields responded to each of their questions stating that may of the issues will be determined
during citizen meetings and negotiations; that he would provide cable to all homes in Sebastian and
perhaps beyond the City; that he has sufficient financing to undertake the operation; that the
company has no other current cable franchises, and stressed the importance of customer satisfaction.
The City Manager said the company has requested a letter of interest from the City to begin franchise
negotiations. He stated that one of the principles of the 1996 Telecommunications Act is to foster
competition and that this may be an opportunity to bring some competition to the City.
He said he will begin negotiations.

Frank Oberbeck, Board of Adjustment, discussed a variance approved for an eight foot fence which ended up
being an eight foot concrete block wall along the rear yard and said the code needs to be looked into so that
concrete walls are not allowed in tile Future.
The Director of Community Development said the Land Development Code allows a concrete or masonry
wall in residential. The City Manager said until such tilne as the code can be amended, the City could take a
position to not approve or deny such requests.
Harry Thomas, 654 Balboa Street, Sebastian, distributed newspaper articles from the Press Journal, regarding
tourism and urged that only residents be allowed on city boards.
Sal Neglia, 461 Georgia Boulevard, Sebastian, took exception to remarks made by Mrs. Cartwright relative
to the Sebastian Property Owners Association; and showed photos of businesses along the riverfront possibly
improper and unlicensed. The Director of Comnlunity Development said he was working with people trying
to apply for a water taxi license and had told them to come back with a parking plan.
Don Smith, 208 Poinciana Street, Sebastian, expressed his strong feeling that the local government had
regressed in the last two weeks relative to remarks made by a Councilmember about the Riverfront. He asked
that apologies or corrections be made for statements made in an editorial by Mrs. Sullivan which he believed
were incorrect.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, AMENDIN0 SECTIONS 20A-
8.3 OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE :RELATING TO SHARED PARKING BY DELETING THAT PROVISION:
PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERAB[LITY; PROVIDING
FOR AN EFFFCTIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read Ordinance No. 0-97-58 by title only and reported that she originally thought
that staff had reconm~ended the inconsistency with the Comprehensive Plan but found it was the
Land Planning Agency that had recommended it but did not explain its reasons. She said she was at
a loss relative to inconsistency and had found no area of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan that dealt
with shared parking. She said shared parking is a good tool, is not environmentally based, and that
the regulations could be tightened up to address Council concerns.
Mrs. Sullivan urged adoption of the ordinance to prohibit overdevelopment and suggested
mnendment to paragraph six to add after "such site .... owned by the building owner or use operator".
The City Attorney said there are other mechanisms that can be used such as land lease tri-party
agreements. Mayor Barnes objected to shared parking because of overdevelopment.
Mr. Paul suggested that perhaps if the Riverfront area is removed from the regulation or additional
regulations are added, shared parking could be left in the code and disagreed with Mrs. Sullivan's
amendment.
Tom Collins, Captain Hirams, said shared parking is a good concept but could use amendment. He
suggested that Council ask its staff and other professionals for a recommendation.
Harry Thomas, 654 Balboa Street, Sebastian, addressed shared parking.
The City Attorney said if paragraph six is changed, another first reading would have to be held.
Mr. Paul reconunended obtaining a staff reconunendation. The City Attomey suggested that
consultant Les Solin look at this provision and come up with a recommendation for suggested
amendments to make the provision shared provision more workable.
