INTRODUCTION OF NEW BUSINESS FROM THE PUBLIC Item that has occurred or was discovered within the previous six months which is not othen~ise on the agenda - sign-up required - limit of ten minutes for each speaker Sal Neglia, thanked everyone for a successful clambake. Mickey Groeppler, submitted a petition bearing 123 signatures regarding denying the change to present setbacks from 10 feet to five feet, and asked that Council consider maintaining the small town atmosphere of Sebastian. Dennis O'Hara, commended everyone on the clambake festival. 03.186 11. OLD BUSINESS A. Presentation by Growth Management,Director, Tracy Hass - Community Planning Issues and Impact Regarding Side-Setback Requirements in Planned Unit Residential Developments (no backup) The Growth Management Director briefly addressed City Council on current concerns expressed relative to side yard setbacks in PUDs, noting there are no plans to decrease setbacks in the RS-10 district, and sought direction from Council. Regular City Council Meeting September 10, 2003 Page Six Each City Councilmember expressed opinions pro and con on the issue citing the 50% density requirement for PUDs and the ability to use setbacks and lot size as bargaining tools. Mr. McCollum recommended that Planning and Zoning be requested to submit a recommendation to Council on three issues, i.e. density, side setbacks and minimum lot size. He further cited public safety issues. Mayor Barnes asked the Growth Management Director if it would be easier for staff if fixed guidelines were established, but expressed his concern for precluding the ability to negotiate and his wish to retain that flexibility. TAPE I - SIDE II (8:04 p.m.) The Growth Management Director further noted that there is more green space in a PUD and utilities are typically underground, that if a developer decided not to proceed with annexation, County Planning Department would allow more buildings per acre. The following members of the public addressed Council: · Rich Taracka, Sebastian, cited his police experience and cases of spreading fires. · Sal Neglia, Sebastian, expressed concern for school overcrowding. · Adrina Davis, Sebastian, recommended that Council establish codes that will keep developers in line. · Mickey Groeppler discussed environmental issues in clearing all these lots. · Dorothy Young, asked why the setbacks are not on the books. · Lonnie Powell, Sebastian, said in the past trees were removed after the certificate of occupancy was obtained. · Bruce Moia, Mosby and Associates, said the PUD was developed as an answer to problems that cities encountered in areas like the Sebastian Highlands such as drainage and road maintenance, and is a valuable tool. The City Attorney described the PUD theory as the ability to shrink lot size, require more open space to preserve forests and trees, and comes down to how the negotiation is executed and negotiated. Mr. McCollum made a motion that Council send a request to Planning and Zoning for their opinion on what the minimum side setbacks should be both within PUDs in the city and those proposed for annexation and have them report back to City Council. Mayor Barnes asked why not include in the motion that no lot be smaller than 50 feet, and he said he would include it. Mayor Barnes then asked the City Attorney if Council could give a memo to Growth Management expressing their desire for no less than 10 foot set-back, no lots under 50 feet and a minimum 3 units per acre cap to give to developers, this way future councils would not be stymied by an ordinance. The City Attorney said a professionally trained staff has a feel for what Council wants and conveys it to developers, and the Growth Management Director said there are currently cases in which proposals have been sent back to engineers with a request to revise based on Council's wishes. Regular City Council Meeting September 10, 2003 Page Seven Mr. McCollum restated his motion to send the question of side setbacks to P & Z including the fifty foot lots, however, it died for lack of a second. The Mayor reiterated to the Growth Management Director that for PUDs Council wants 10 foot setbacks, and no more than 50 foot lots. 12. NEW BUSINESS 03.179 6~70 A. Approve Holland Builders of South Florida, Inc. Ranking for Design and Construction of Airport/Public Works/Engineering Administration Facility & Police Evidence Compound (Airport Transmittal 9/3/03) The Airport Director addressed City Council on the Airport Administration Building design and construction and requested concurrence with staff ranking recommendation. MOTION by McCollum/Coniglio "Move to approve ranking of firms and authorize staff to negotiate a contract with Holland Builders of South Florida, Inc. for the design and construction of the Airport/Public Works/Engineering Administration Facility, the Police Evidence Compound, and the related infrastructure improvements, whereas such contract will be brought back before Council for final approval and authorization to award."

CITY ATTORNEY MATTERS The City Attorney thanked Council for its indulgence while he worked on the clambake, thanked Jerry Converse and his crew, and Council for their assistance. 14. CITY MANAGER MATTERS 03.191 A. Acknowledgements and Compliments from Residents (no backup) The City Manager said he receives thank you letters from residents relative to employees' performance and said he would like to take time at meetings to acknowledge the appreciation expressed. He read letters in support of Ken Jones, Phil Patnode, and the Junior Golf program. Other Matters Reported that the Flagler Development Corporation had accepted a higher offer for the property the City was looking at for the train depot, therefore the location search would need to continue. Regular City Council Meeting September 10, 2003 Page Eight He also reported that the negative press regarding the termination of Orange Peel Enterprises contract lease was inaccurate because the City did not receive the necessary site plan to mitigate the wetlands to proceed with the contract.

Inquired if a builder is required to cut the grass and take out the trash while under construction. He referenced a home under construction since January in which the City Manager stated the builder has 12 month permit for construction, which can be extended. Mr. Barczyk also stated over a year ago channels were dug in a certain area which need to be re-done and he has given the City Manager's name to those requesting assistance. The City Manager stated unit by unit will be done and the residents are welcome to call to see when they are scheduled. D. Mr. McCollum Congratulated everyone involved in the Clambake Festival.

ROSELAND CORRIDOR PLAN ' - It,is requested that the following information be given formal conSideration bythe Board of County Commissioners at iTM regular meeting of September 9, 2003. . DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS At its March 13, 2001 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners approved the creation of the Roseland Neighborhood Plan Task Force. The purpose ofthe Plan Task Force was to work with staff to formulate a neighborhood plan for the Roseland area. Since May 2001, staff has met with the. Roseland Neighborhood Plan Task Force 13 times to prepare the Roseland Neighborhood Plan. To complement the'neighborh°od plan, a corridor plan applicable only to non-residential areas in Roseland was also drafted. On February 25, 2003, the Task Force and staff held a community meeting in Roseland'to present the, neighborhood and corridor plans to the Roseland area public. At that meeting'.there was significant public comment regarding the plans. Consequently, the Task Force met on April 9, 2003 to address the comments expressed at the community meeting. After revising the plans to address' some of the concerns expressed at the community meeting, the Task Force voted 8-0 to approve both plans and , . 1 24 requested that staff present the. plans to the Board of County Commissioners for its consideration. At the May 20, 2003 meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, Roseland neighborhOod residents and City of Sebastian representatives raised concerns about plan policies call'.rog for more code enforcement and for coordination with the City of Sebastian, respectively. Consequently, the Board directed staff to meet again with the Task Force to address those concerns and to coordinate with the City of Sebastian to obtain the City's comments. Since the May 20, 2003 Board meeting, ~.e following has occurred: · Staff sent a copy of the plans to the City of Sebastian along with a request for the City's written comments and concerns, and invited the City staff to come to the Task Force meeting. · The Task Force met again on July 14, 2003, 'and made additional .changes to the Neighborhood Plan. · At the July 14, 2003 meeting, the Task Force voted 6-0 to approve the changes to the Neighborhood Plan and requested that staff present the neighborhood and corridor plans to the Board of County Commissioners for its consideration. COpies of both the proposed neighborhood plan and corridor plan are on file in the BOard of County Commissioners 6ffice. Changes made by the Task Force at its July 14, 2003 meeting to the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the neighborhood plan are in strikethrough (deletions) and underline (additions) format. That section of the Neighborhood Plan is attached to the staff report. ANALYSIS The purpose of the Roseland Neighborhood Plan is to address issues that are important to the residents of Roseland. While the plan focuses on one neighborhood within the county, the strategies and actions of this plan are consistent with .the objectives and policies, of the county's · . Comprehensive Plan. · . · Ir[.cluded in the Roseland Neighborhood Plan are an eXisting conditions section, an analySis section, a plan section, and an implementation section. The.existing conditions section of the plan presents the most up to date data on-land uses, zoning, infrastructure, .and commerce for the Roseland neighborhood. Based onthose existing conditions, the analysis section identifies issues, problems, ' oppommities and constraints that exist in Roseland. The plan section identifies the plan goal, as well as strategies, objectives, and actions to address Roseland's issues and problems. Finally, an implementation section presents' the framework for how physical improvements can be made and how the character of Roseland as a community can be maintained. The plan's strategies .are divided into the following major-issue categories: .. · Land Use and Zoning · Surrounding Land Uses · Environment · . 'Housing · Infrastructure · Quality of Life 2 25 ' As structured, the plan contains 11 objectives .that relate to the'above mentioned strategies. Under each objective, there is a set of specific actions that, when implemented, should result in achievement of the objective. Overall, the major initiatives in the plan invOlve: · initiating a comPrehensive plan text amendment to cap the boundaries of the Koseland commercial/industrial nodes at their existing boundaries; · adopting and implementing a corndor plan to apply development regulations to new commercial, industrial, and institutional development in the Roseland area; · working with the neighboring jurisdictions to eliminate incompatibilities along the city's border with Roseland; and · upgrading and maintaining infrastructure, and others. Even though the plan has not been approved as of yet, staff has already initiated some of the referenced plan implementation actions. Because the Roseland Neighborhood Plan is a coordinated effort among a number of groups, there are'several governmental agencies and community organizations with responsibilities for taking, the actions identified in the plan. To ensure that identified actions are financially feasible and to designate a realistic timeframe for implementation, planning staff has coordinated with other county departments. Overall plan implementation responsibilities will rest with the county planning division. Besides its responsibilities as identified in the plan, the county planning division has the additional responsibility of ensuring that other entities discharge their responsibilities. This will entail notifying other applicable departments of capital expenditures to be included in their budgets, notifying other departments and groups of actions that must be taken, and assisting other deparanents and agencies in their plan implementation responsibilities, " . The Roseland Neighborhood Plan Task Force, in coordination with staff, also prepared the Roseland Cbrrid°r Plan.' Unlike the RoSeland Neighborhood plan, which applies to the entire Roseland area, the proposed regulations in the Roseland Corridor Plan'apply only'to new 'cOmmercial, industrial', - and institutional development. · aJ tm A IVeS, . · The Board of County Commissioners has three alternatives with respect to the Roseland Neighborhood Plan. These are: · To approve the Roseland Neighborhood Plan. · · To approve the Roseland Neighborhood Plan with changes. · Not to approve the Roseland Neighborhood.Plan. Staff supports either the first or second alternative. 26 With reSpect to the proposed corridor plan, the Board of County Commissioners also has three- alternatives. These are: · To approve the Corridor Planl · To approve the Corridor Plan with changes. · Not to approve the Corridor Plan. Staff Supports either the first or second alternative. RECOMMENDATION The Roseland Neighborhood Plan Task Force and Staff recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approTM the Koseland Neighborhood Plan and Corridor-Plan,'.direct staff to draft Land Development Regulations to implement the Corridor Plan, and formally sunset the Roseland Neighborhood Plan Task Force.

Because there is a sufficient amount of commercial/industrial land in Roseland, there is a need to ensure that the amount of commercial/industrial land in Roseland does not increase. That will be done through a county initiated comprehensive plan' amendment limiting commercial/industrial land to those areas currently designated C/I. In order t°. enhance the appearance of commercial and .industrial development .in R°seland, the County will adopt a corridor plan that will provide design criteria for new commercial and industrial development 'along Streets'containing any commercial or industrial uses: Such streets include GibSon Street and US 1 in the Roseland area.

SURROUNDING LAND USES · While Roseland is. mostly surrounded by waterways or conservation land, there-are publicly and Privately. owned properties, abutting Roseland to the south where potentially incompatible land uses could develop..Of particular, concern are industrial'uses which could locate on airport land or adjacent privately owned industrial sites. Development of these industrial sites will affect'the Roseland area. The major effects of this industrial d~velopment will be 'appearancel. lighting, noise, and traffic. MOst-of these Potential incompatibility problems can be addressed through site design, use restrictions, buffering, and landscaping. To address. . these issues,, the County will coordinate with. the r,;..'.~..j ...~ ~..~..~......~-~--~*:--- nei~hborin~ jUrisdictions and work with *~'".... t~..,.~..j those jurisdictions, to reSolve Roseland~-u .............. and other compatibility issues along the interface between /~,a,..o,~.. :...~..g~. ]urisdictions.

Action 4~6 4.5: The County will, through incentives, encourage the use of native plants in landscaping for new development in the Koseland Corridor Plan. HOUSING A windshield survey and 'subsequent investigations by County Code Enforcement staff found that there are relatively few code violations in the Roseland area. To address those code violations, that do exist, .County Code Enforcement staff, the Friends of Historic Roseland, and Roseland residents will need to work together. Based on the windshield survey, there are only five substandard housing units in the Roseland area. To address substandard housing, the county will notify the owners of these units that resources are available through the County to rehabilitate these units. In this effort, the County's role will be to provide funds for housing rehabilitation. Community grouPs, particularly the Friends of HistOric Roseland, have a vital role. The community groups must ork with the Coun to rest!ye these ¥;.c!,~t;.ons, inform Roseland residents of the county's housing rehabilitation (SHIP) program, and encourage residents to participate in this program.

Action 6.2: The'Friends of Historic Roseland will assist the County in distributing ~ information about the .County's affordable housing rehabilitation program to-Koseland residents at public meetings, churches, and civic events. INFRASTRUCTURE Adequate infrastructure is important in every community. In the Roseland area, most streets are unpaved, and most residents do not have County centralized potable water nor sewer services. Currently, Roseland's unpaved roads do not need to be paved because of the low traffic vOlume and siow .growth m the area. According to the Roseland Qaality of Life survey, most residents are not interested in paying for road paving or water/sewer connections. Nevertheless, the .County public works department has programmed some infrastructural improvements in the Roseland area.

Implementation invOlves execution of the plan's identified actions. It involves taking actions and achieving results. For the Koseland Neighborhood Plan, implementation involves various activities. While some of these actions will be ongoing, others are activities that will be undertaken by certain points in time. For each action in this plan, Table 12 identifies the type of action required, the responsible entiW for taking the action, the timing, and whether, or not the action neccaa".tates a capital expenditure. Overall plan implementation responsibility will rest with the planning department. Besides its responsibilities as identified in Table 12, the planning department has the additional responsibility of ensUring that other entities discharge their responsibilities. This will entail notifying other applicable departments of capital expenditures to be included in their budgets, notifying other departments and groups of actions that must be taken and assisting other departments and agencies in their plan implementation responsibilities.

Generally, a plan's effectiveness can 'be judged by the degree to which the Plan's objectives have been met. Table 13 identifies each of the objectives of the Roseland Neighborhood Plan. The table also identifies.the measures to be used to evaluate progress in achieving these objectives. Most of these measures are quantitative. Besides the mea~-~-'es, Table 13 also identifies tim. aframes associated with meeting the objectives.

He reviewed the Plans wi~ the aid of a PowerPoint presentation (COPY ON FILE WI~ ~E BACK~ FO~ TODAY'S MEET~G). In addition to asking the Board to.approve the Plans, there is also the roarer o5 acquiring the Denton prope~ relative to drainage improvemenn' in that area. Public Works Director Jim Davis is working with ~. Denton relative to this purchase. Staff Would also suppog rezon~g ~e bal~ce o5 Mr. Denton's prope~ to PRO. ~ere is a commerciaYmedical node adjacem to ~. Denton's prop¢~. Commissioner Ginn zo~ented ~at she was opposed to the densi~ which could be as high as 6 uni~ ~r acre. Chairman Macht stated this is not a public hearing bUt anyone from the public may address the subjectl.' ConstanceSpates, of Roseland and Fellsmere, objected to the members of the Task .Force reporting code violations and stated 'that the plan calls for portable trailer type signs to be prohibited in spite of the fact that the Friends of Historic Roseland use such a sign'for · ,announcements of their meetingS. She Was opposed to adoption of the Plans. Bob Denton, 11245 Roseland Road, thanked the Task Force and County staff for putting' together suCh'a good package. He felt that a cap in the north County medical and commercial. node was not a good idea: He believed that flexible plans and procedures are good for.everyone but especially for future generations. He questioned what Would happen if other communities wanted to establish the same boundaries as Roseland and felt it could result in a "big mess". He saw no need for boundaries and felt each complaint should be looked at 'individually. He also expressed concern about the City of Sebastian possibly annexing properties from Roseland . which would mean municipal as well as CoUnty taxes and could trigger private property rights issues. He asked the Board to approve the Plans with the proviso that no caps be included. MAY 20,2003 13 45 Robert Kirriel 12706 79th Avenue, was opposed to the adoption of the Plans. He believed that at the February 25th meeting, it was apparent that the majority of the people do not want these changes. He felt that the Task rorce members think they are code enforce:r,~:?,t officers and believe that they are representing the majority of the residents of Rose!and, which is not true. He believed the County is doing just fine "as is" and asked that the Plans be rejected. Fred Mensing, 7580 129th Street, Sebastian, felt the Plans should be shredded and believed' that the residential part of R°seland has been-destroyed because of inaction on-the part of the County. Roseland is a place and state of mind and he did not want things changed from the way they have been since he was a small child. JameS Applegate, 14445 80th Avenue, felt the Plans do not address the most important factors which include landscaping on existing commercial plots. Director Keating stated that staff has no authority to ask the commercial properties to add landscaping if they are .already "grandfathered" in. Rayburn Anderson, 12925 Old Dixie Highway, stated that he owns the bowling center and does not want ill feelings with the residents in the area but the homes surrounding the .bowling center were built long after the center was already there. ~ · . Rich Stringer, City of sebastian Attorney, expressed his frustrations that the City of i~Sebastian was not included in the meetings dealing with these Plans. He noted that compatibility is in the eye of the beholder and asked the Board for a presentation to the City Council before : adopting these Plans to allow for discussion. : Joe Barezyk, Sebastian City Councilman, felt there are some good points in the PI'ans but also expressed his frustration over not being included in the discussions, The City of Sebastian has no intention to annex Roseland but would appreciate being included in the decisions tO be made. MAY 20, 2003 14 Tom Spaulding, 7890 129th Place, commended the Task Force for their good intentions but felt that the majority of Roseland residents do not want the Plans adopted for a number of reasons and stated that most of the responses to staWs survey were negative. Chairman Macht questioned the survey mentioned, and Director Keating gave a brief explanation of the content of the survey and did not feel that a majority of the residents responded negatively. .Long Range and Economic planner Randy Deshazo stated that most of the responses to the survey favored neWregUl'ations for new-residential and commercial 'develoPment but did not favor paying for potable water, roads and sewer lines. Robert Dillard, 7875 130th Street, felt the Plans would take more and more freedom away from the residents and would resUlt in gated communities with more and more regulations and fees such as those now charged for use of the Sebastian 'Inlet park. Chairman Macht referenced a document from the County deeding the Sebastian Inlet to the State that said that no Indian River County resident would be charged a fee for use of the property and asked!County Attorney Will Collins if he recalled the document. County AttOrney Collins recalled that in the late 1980s the State said improvements needed t° be made and.that restriction Was lifted with the proviso that any fees received be used 'for the Inlet 'Park.- ' There are some benefits to residents of the County and the Inlet sends a report every year regarding those funds. " Donald Morgan, 7850 129th Street, believed that staff's survey with residents' ·responses should be presented to the Commissioners so they could see the negative responses. The ' residents of Roseland do not want "big government"; they are an independent community and do not want changes. MAY 20, 2003 15 - 47 Jackie James of Roseland read a letter from Holly Dill, President of Friends of Historic Roseland (COPY ON FILE WITH THE BACKUP FOR'TODAY'S MEETiNG) and noted that the Task Force had tried not to step on the rights of residents. Barbara Banfield, 7405 129th. Street, thanked Mr. Stringer and Mr. BarczYk for their willingness to cooperate and felt it was a shame that it took this action to produce that cooperation. She thanked the Board for the opportunity to serve On the Task Force and commended staff for their excellent work and the many hours devoted to this project. Robert Ryan, 7625 133ra Square, felt that every time the City of Sebastian annexes property, the community of Roseland loses. He was not, however, in favor of the Plans and felt that everyone on the river has requested a special variance and those should be stopped. He also believed that many of the commercial developers do not maintain the landscaping they were required to install. He asked the Board not to adopt the Plans and not to support any more variances. Irene Bush}' 13370 Old Dixie. Highway, cautioned the Board that if they.do not watch the developers closely the area will'be as overdeveloped as South Florida and the quality of life in the area would be l°st. C. N. Kirrie, 12855 79th Avenue, believed that these Plans would add another restrictive layer of government' for which there is no need..He referenced the "firehouse" meeting several ~imes and noted' that most of the people Who were at that meeting are not here today because they - . are working. He felt tl~at most of the people who live in Roseland try to cooperate with their neighbors and asked the Board to reject these' Plans which go so far as to regulate the shades of paint to be used. Commissioner Neuberger asked where the Plan discusses shades of paint, and Director Keating replied that the regulations are'in the Corridor Plan and apply only to commercial, industrial and institutional projects. Commissioner Adams emphasized that staff had done what the Board asked them to do. R0seland historically has been settled by very independent people and she did not believe the Plans should be adopted with this much opposition. . MAY 20, 2003 48 Commissioner Ginn suggested separating the Plans and was in favor of the Corridor Plan. Commissioner NeUberger believed these are fine Plans but was concerned that the City of Sebastian had not been included in the discussions and wanted to see the responses ~,~ :taft's survey. Director Keating noted that 1,139 surveys were mailed, with a follow-up mailing to each addressee who did not respond to the survey. 144 responses were received and copies will be ' furnished to the Commissioners. The purpose of the survey was to determine what issues were foremost in the minds of the residents and whether or not they wanted additional infrastructure. Commissioner Adams volunteered to meet with staff and key members of the Task Force and come back to the Board with the results of those meetings. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board, by a 4-I Vote (Commissioner Neuberger opposed) agreed 'to defer this matter until more investigation has been completed and additional public input has been received. ..
