Application to Amend the Comprehensive Land Use Plan
To Allow Industrial Uses on the Subject Property
February 27, 2002 City Council Meeting
The Florida Legislature amended Section 163.3177(6)(a) F.S. to require local
governments include public school siting criteria in their Comprehensive Plan by
October 1, 1999.
Chris Kirrie appears before City Council regarding the rezoning of Sembler parcels
(Lots 16, 27 and 28, Section 30, Range 38 East, Township 30 South, Fleming Grant)
from RE40 to Industrial and receives unanimous concensus to proceed with the
project.
City Plam~ing & Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of
amending the Comprehensive Land Use Plan from Low Density Residential(LD) to
Industrial (IL) for the subject property.
City Council unanimously approves Ordinance No. 0-00-05 on first reading
amending the Comprehensive Land Use Plata from Low Density Residential (LD) to
Industrial use (IN) mad authorized transmittal to Department of Conununity Affairs.
City Council, on a 3 to 2 vote, adopted Ordinance No. 0-00-05 on. second and final
reading changing the Comprehensive Land Use Plan from Low Density Residential
to Industrial for the subject property.
City sends the adopted Ordinance No. 0-00-05 to DCA and responds to the ORC
report.
Mr. Eubanks with DCA writes and ackdaowledges receipt of Ordinance No. 0-00-05.
He again reminds the City of the 10/1/99 date to include school siting in
Comprehensive Plan and tells City to readvertise and readopt Ordinance No. 0-00-05
after including school siting criteria in Comprehensive Plan.
City responds to DCA with letter from City Attorney challenging need to adopt
school siting criteria prior to passage of Ordinance No. 0-00-05.
City passes on second and final reading Ordinance O-01-21 amending the
Comprehensive Plan to include school siting criteria. At this same meeting, the
Council with four members present denied a request by the son of C.N. Kirrie to
continue the hearing on Ordinance No. 0-00-05 because his father was out of the
State and because a full council was not present. The Council proceeded with the
heatings and denied Ordinance No. 0-00-05, as well as Ordinance No. O-01-22 to
rezone the subject property to Industrial, which was being heard on first reading.

amending the Comprehensive Plan to allow a change in use to Industrial for the
subject property and also denies Ordinance No. O-01-22 rezoning the subject
property.
Council, on a 4 to 1 vote, adopts a motion to reconsider Ordinance No. 0-00-05
amending the Comprehensive Land Use Plan to allow Industrial uses on the subject
property and sets a hearing date of February 27, 2002.

hours in meetings with the County Commission, County staff, Engineers,
representatives from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other governmental
representatives regarding the use of 130th Street for access to the subject property.
He has done everything humanly possible to finalize the use of 130th Street for access

RE: LAND USE COMPATABILITY
Dear Mr. Kirrie,
This letter is in response to our phone conversation on February 1, 2002 to clarify facts related to
the impact of airport operations on property located under the flight path of Runway 4-22. The
following information is based solely upon land use compatibility as it relates to both present and
future operations of Sebastian Municipal Airport.
As we have discussed, the parcel in question lies directly beneath the approach path to Runway
22 and the departure path of Runway 4. Due to this location, noise abatement procedures -
whether mandatory or voluntary- will have little to no effect on reducing overflights to the
property.
At present, there are no plans to construct an air traffic control tower at the airport. Our most
recent twenty~year forecast (2001, via the current Airport Master Plan revision) indicates that
future growth will not warrant a control tower, therefore, it was not included in the twenty-year
projection of capital improvements. Also, please note that even if a control tower was constructed
sooner than anticipated, little could be done to mitigate overflight of that specific property. Proof
of this lies in the existing, well~publicized noise problems being experienced by Vero Beach
Municipal Airport, St. Lucie County International Airport, and Martin County Airport - all of
which have air traffic control towers.
Finally, residential zoning is the least compatible and desirable directly eft the ends of any
runway. Standard building codes do not provide adequate protection against noise impacts.
Additional noise attenuation measures must be required in order to minimize any anticipated
impacts. Any chance that an authority has to rezone incompatible land uses as they relate to
airport operations should be acted upon to preserve the quality of life for both present and future
residents.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require any additional information.

To the Mayor and Council,
I wish to comment on the proposal to allow a rezone in an established
neighborhood. I think when you look at rezoning, please consider the big picture
and the future of Sebastian and surrounding communities affected by your
decisions. Anyone relying on your decisions must be confident that you can be
trusted to do what is best for the majority of citizens. I believe that when you
contemplate making changes in the master plan, you must consider the effects of
change. Are you sending the message that the master plan and zoning can be
changed in a capricious and arbitrary manner, and anyone investing in this
community cannot trust that the investment would be safe and secure.
Do you practice lawsuit legislation, so that overtime someone threatens a lawsuit
as a result of your considered decision as to what is best for the community as a
whole, they prevail. I think the decision you make on this issue has a long range
impact on the quality of development and the future of Sebastian, as you must be
trusted or Sebastian will never attract anything but second rate development, the
best would go elsewhere, where their investments are considered with respect
and care. Lee Skinner
2/27/2002
To Sebastian Mayor and Councilmen,
It is my opinion that two closely tied communities, Sebastian and Roseland,
will not be enhanced by rezoning Mr. Sembler's propertv_t.o industrial. In
the long run, the quality of both our communities would~lversel.y affected.
There are already enough industrial sites to be developed. Both of our
communities should be spared this "eyesore".
I feel industrial developments should not be part of a residential area. It
tends to downgrade the surrounding homegand slums develop.
Roseland already carries the brunt of the already zoned industrial sites on
Gibson ( 130th) and we must carry the traffic of heavy trucks, that go with
industrial sites, l'hen there is the new airport industrial development, and
Roseland must carry the burden of that traffic. These are not attractive sites
and conditions affecting our residential neighborhood.
I hope each of you will consider carefully what another industrial site can do
to Sebastian and Roseiand, in the overall view. '[his is too beautifi~i an area
to be marred. Please vote against rezoning to industry and leave the land to
be part of what we can proud of, a beautiful Indian River County, which
includes your city.
Thank you,
Jackie James

City of Sebaalian Proposed Plan Amendment
DCA Ref. # 00-1
Dear Mr. Eubank$:
Please be advised that the Indian River County planning staff has reviewed the above referenced
item. Based upon its review, planning staff h~ the following comments:
The City's transtmt~al letter, dated March 10. 2000, identifies an incorrect zoning for the
uninc~t~d l~'OpeiYy surrotu~ng a 4,85 ~ere p~tion of the subject property, While the
City's proposed amendment depicts surrounding coun~ land as having industrial zoning, the
county land in that area is desi~ated aa L-2, Low-Dem~ity Residential 2 (up to 6 umta/acre),
and is cunently zoned for re~dentiai and agricultural uses (Rose-4, Ro~elaad Rcsidenfi',d
District (up to 4 unita/~'m) and A-l, Agncultural-I District, up to I unit/5 acres),
The only access from the subject property to the thoroug, hfare system is through a residential
subdivision (located in the unincorporated countyL This access ia not appropriate for
industrial type of traffic (Dale Street is an unpaved residential road).
Section 1 of City Ordinance No. 0.00.05 identifies this land use amen~ln~nt as small scale:
however, the subject amendnm~t does not qualify for the state*s small scale amendme:~t

FRIENI)S OF HISTORIC ROSEIAND
(Formerly the Association of Roseland Property Owners)
The 14.5 Sembler acres which Mr. Kerrie seeks to have
rezoned industrial qualifies for nomination to the list of
ecologically sensitive land in Indian River County.
Application for inclusion on said list has been made.
Properties on this list are reviewed annually by the
Land Acquisition Advisory Board for possible purchase
by the County. The property in question sits on top of a
recharge area for the shallow acquifer and is
surrounded by conservation land and residential
properties. It is home to scrub jay, gopher turtles and
indigo snakes all of which are on the list of endangered
species.
As far as residential use of this land vis-a-vis the
airport, the new Collier Club subdivision being built
which will connect Main street to Roseland Road is
closer to the airport than the Sembler acres, and to our
knowledge has been developed without discussion
about airport impact on the homeowner.
The Friends of Historic Roseland absolutely oppose any
industrial use of the Sembler property. Mr. Kerrie owns
industrial land in Fellsmere and we fervently hope he
will construct his styrofoam plant there. We hope you
will take these considerations into account as you
make your decision tonight. Thank-you.
From the February 5th transcript of the Indian River
County Board of Commissioners meeting regarding the
land use appeal of Chris Kirrie.
Quote by Mr. Chris Kerrie:
"Let me tell you where my time frame is and where it's
going.
On February 27th as was indicated at the last meeting
will be another hearing on land use and zoning in front
of the City of Sebastian.
Should I get the support and indication from this
commission, today, that we can work this thing out, we
will go to it and work it out.
Then in fact....uh..., i have been assured that it will be
voted in - land use change and .... Done finished".
ROSELAND NEIGHBORHOOD TASK FORCE
January 12, 2002
To: The Board of County Commissioners
From: The Roseland Neighborhood Task Force
We, the Roseland Neighborhood Task Force unanimously oppose Chris Kirtle in his
effort to industrialize the Sembler property in Roseland.
Permission to industrial~ this property has been denied twice by the City of Sebastian
because subject property is surrounded entirely by residential and conservation land. Mr.
Kirrie's hope of trying to open a corridor from the Sembler property to Gibson St.,
(130*), would result in fi~rt~r tmwanted industrialization of Roseland.
TheTask Force reeommeMs that the County Commissioners preserve the conservation
area by not allowing ~ corridor accessing the Sembler property to O~son St. Such a
comdor would further degrade residences along O~on as well as tl~ scrub jay habitat in
the conservation area, a hugely sensitive subject here in Florida.
We feel that industrial sites abound at the Sebast'~ Airport and along County Rd. 512.
Sebastian should consolidate its industrial base at those locations rather than spot zxming
land for industrial use in inappropriate, habitat sensitive residential areas.
We thank you for your consideration.
Very truly yours,
Cy Carlson, Chairman
