WORKSHOP ITEMS Alcoholic Beverages - Prohibited Hours of Sale (City Manager Recommendation dated 8/29/90, Section 2-4 City Code, Letter from City Attorney dated 8/29/90) Following a lengthy discussion, input from each Councilman and requests for further input from the Chief of Police, Indian River County and the public, the City Manager recommended that the City Attorney be authorized to draft an ordinance so that a public hearing can be held to obtain input. City Council Workshop September 5, 1990 Page Three MOTION by McCollum I move that the City Attorney be instructed to draw up an ordinance, we can have public hearings on it, but I would also like under 4-2 "Prohibited Hours of Sale" the first on Sundays between the hours of 1 a.m. on Sunday and 11 a.m. on Sunday rather than 1 p.m. on Sunday and leave language on New Year's Eve as is and let people request an extension of time. MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. It was decided to place this item on the October 3, 1990 agenda for further input. The City Attorney, at the request of Councilman McCollum and consensus of Council, said he would look into section 4-3 regarding nudity and bring a verbal report back to Council. He also suggested that Council may want to change language regarding "New Year's Eve" to "New Year's Day" in section 4-2. 90.199 Unit 1, Sebastian Highlands Drainage Problems (City Manager Recommendation dated 8/30/90) Mayor Conyers discussed a method of drainage presented to him by FPL and requested staff to look into it.

The City Manager suggested that information may be available from the USDA and St. John's River Water Management District. The City Manager presented a section of drainage plans for unit one on the overhead projector, explained the problems that exist in this area and requested authorization to grade swales in street right-of-way to proper elevations, install side yard reliever ditches where required and work with property owners to install side yard culvert pipes. The Director of Community Development said if side yard culvert pipes are not made mandatory, he would have to recommend a larger setback requirement. 3 City Council Workshop September 5, 1990 Page Four 90.200 The City Manager suggested that the city develop a policy on major ditches in side yards, look at expense, and bring to a workshop for discussion. He further recommended that the city not get involved in fixing driveways unless there is some justifiable reason that the city was negligent in some way. MOTION by Powell/Oberbeck I move we direct staff to prepare a more detailed report on the expense of installing side yard culverts in major drainage ditches.

The Director of Community Development explained the request for final plat approval and noted that all Technical Review Committee requirements will be met prior to approval.

The City Attorney said final plat revision recommendations he had made had been met with the exception of receipt of a copy of the homeowner association document which will be furnished to him; City Council Workshop September 5, 1990 Page Five 90.201 90.202 said light posts can be made a condition of the final plat and noted a glitch in section 20A-16.4 (c)(4) which requires the final plat to be prepared by a registered engineer instead of a registered surveyor as has been done in the past in the city.
