The Human Resources Director presented a power point presentation on lightning strike
risk and available training that can be offered to coaches, city employees, etc., signs that
can be installed at city athletic facilities, and finally recommended City Council
participation in lightning safety awareness week during the last full week in June.
Mr. McCollum said NOAA radios are only activated for severe weather, and that 95% of
weather moving through this area with lightning does not activate the radios. He
recommended that conditions be imposed for all athletic league leases to require they
leave the field under certain conditions.
The Human Resources Director suggested that a training video be produced and played
for all athletic groups.
Mr. Coniglio and Mr. Hill also suggested that there be a warning siren installed at the
Municipal Golf Course.
The City Attorney said education and signs are good tools, but installing sirens might
create more liability for the City if a siren is not activated. He said the City should not be
training the coaches but require them to get training.
Mr. McCollum said the weather service puts on a program called Sky Watch and offers
a certificate for participation in the program.

9. PUBLIC HEARING
04.017 A. Second Reading, Public Hearing and Final Adoption of Ordinance No. 0 -04 -01
105 -114 Sebastian River Landings Phase II Annexation (Growth Management Transmittal,
0- 04 -01, Request Letter, Map, Survey, Chapter 171.044 FS)
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA, PROVIDING FOR THE VOLUNTARY
ANNEXATION OF 62.827 ACRES, MORE OR LESS, BEING A PART OF SECTION 26, TOWNSHIP 31
SOUTH, RANGE 38 EAST LOCATED SLIGHTLY SOUTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF CR510 AND
CR512; PROVIDING FOR INTERIM LAND USE AND ZONING CLASSIFICATION; PROVIDING FOR
CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (e Reading 1/14/04, Display Ad 1/16/04 PJ and
1/23/04, public hearing and adoption 1/28/04)
Mayor Barnes opened the public hearing at 8:30 p.m., and the City Attorney read
Ordinance No. 0 -04 -01 by title. The Growth Management Director presented the
annexation request and cited DCA comments relative to the subsequent land use
amendment. He said the development is coming in at 2.99 units per acre.
Mike Evans, Sebastian River Landings LLC, in response to Mr. Hill, stated they want to
be a part of the City.
Also in response to Mr. Hill, the Growth Management Director stated the County's future
land use for this area is currently 3 units per acre, and if approved by Sebastian it will be
5 units per acre. He confirmed the proposed density is 2.99 units per acre, which, if
approved by the City, will not increase the number of houses over what could have been
developed. The Growth Management Director further stated the County's set back from
the waterway varies from 25 -100 feet from the "mean high water mark." He also
confirmed the distance from the northeast corner of the property is about 100 feet which
results in a wider buffer.
Mr. McCollum asked if any streets would be entering into any existing streets and the
Growth Management Director replied they would not.
Ron Trahan, 988 Franciscan Avenue, said he was an environmentalist who lives on
Stonecrop, and he would like to be pro- active to protect the Sebastian River and its
environs. He asked that if the property was annexed, was there any way it could not

TAPE 11- SIDE 1(9:18 p.m.)
be rezoned. He also asked for a better clarification of the required buffer, protection of
trees, and stormwater runoff.
Due to the fact that discussion was taking place relative to the conceptual plan, which is
a quasi judicial matter, the City Clerk inquired whether individuals needed to be sworn.
The City Attomey concurred and all who intended to offer testimony were sworn in.
Mr. Trahan displayed a list of names of area residents concerned with the annexation.
Mary Ann Krueger said she had a list of flora and fauna in the area of the
St. Sebastian buffer, and recommended not annexing and developing this property.
Timothy Jelus, developer of property to the north, said pollutants from the old orange
grove currently drain directly into the South Prong of the Sebastian River and this project
would actually provide for retention ponds for run -off as opposed to going into the River
as well as the re- planting of native plant species. Mr. Jelus also pointed out that Phase I
of the projected removed a great deal of evasive species to the area.
The City Attorney said the St. Johns River Water Management has lauded the City for
this development because it has eliminated pollutant runoff from the old grove.
Damian Gilliams, 1623 US Highway 1, cited financial information prepared by Tischler
and Associates, noting that there is a positive financial impact from this annexation.
Ruth Stanbridge, Indian River Historical Society, expressed concern for preservation of
the south prong St. Sebastian buffer, Fellsmere Cemetery and railroad right -of -way. She
recommended a special ad hoc committee be established to protect these areas.
Tim Glover, Friends of the St. Sebastian River, read a letter into the record regarding the
St. Sebastian River requesting the same provisions as Indian River County Section
929.07 be adopted by the City. (see letter attached)
Richard Baker, Pelican Island Audubon Society, reiterated the request for an ad hoc
committee to protect the buffer.
Ron Trahan, 988 Franciscan Avenue, questioned the environmental asset of preventing
the grove run -off into the river. Timothy Jelus responded it would be an asset because
there is currently no protection from or treatment for the runoff.
The Growth Management Director responded to Mr. McCollum regarding City tree
protection provisions, and explained that the proposed shoreline buffer exceeds County
requirements. Mr. McCollum took exception to Mrs. Krueger's comment about Council
"waivers and favors
Mayor Barnes said it is nearly impossible to stop growth and that the City is doing its
best to manage growth.

Dear Mr. Moore:

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
1840 25th Street, Vero Beach, Florida 32960 -3365
Based upon the BCC's direction, staff proposes to develop impact fees for the following facilities:
Recently, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) directed staff to survey surrounding counties to
determine the number and type of impact fees that those counties impose. Table 1, attached, provides
that information.
As indicated in Table 1, all of the surrounding counties impose more impact fees than does Indian River
County. While Indian River County charges only road impact fees, most of the surrounding counties
impose between six and seven types of impact fees. Like all of the surrounding counties, Indian River
imposes water and sewer connection charges. Those, however, are not considered impact fees.
After reviewing this information, the BCC directed staff to initiate the process of establishing impact fees
for all of the facilities that surrounding counties charge impact fees for. To that end, staff has obtained
impact fee study scopes of services from other jurisdictions and has started drafting a request for
proposals (RFP) to obtain consultant services.
Of those, four (corrections, public schools, libraries, and solid waste) are facilities that serve the county
as a whole, including municipalities. Because of the countywide benefits provided by those facilities,
any impact fees enacted to offset the development related costs of those facilities would need to be
imposed countywide. A fifth facility (Fire /emergency services) serves the entire county except for the
Town of Indian River Shores. Consequently, any Fire/EMS impact fee would need to be imposed by all
jurisdictions except for Indian River Shores.
The purpose of this letter is to request that you notify me as to whether the City of Sebastian agrees to
participate with the county in the imposition of the above referenced impact fees. If all jurisdictions
agree to participate, the county will obtain consultant services, manage the consultant project, coordinate
with the municipalities in establishing the fees, and administer the impact fee program once it is
established.
Program administration for the new fees would be similar to the current traffic impact fee program,
whereby each jurisdiction collects impact fees with building permit issuance and transmits those fees to
the county. As with the traffic impact fee program, an interlocal agreement would need to be executed by
all parties in order to impose the referenced fees.
If any questions arise regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Friendcg of &St. eSebutinn Piver
Walter Bames, Mayor
City of Sebastian
1225 Main Street
Sebastian, Florida 32958
Dear Mayor Bames:
As you are well aware, there are great changes taking place along the South Prong of the St.
Sebastian River. The Friends are concemed about the impact on the river habitat. Unfortunately any
negative impacts will be hard to correct or mitigate after -the -fact. It has come to our attention that
the City of Sebastian has no ordinances that provide for protection of the shoreline along the river.
As the properties get annexed into the city, we would like to ask that the council seriously consider
the impacts of those changes and ways to protect the river. Indian River County does have an
ordinance providing for a shoreline buffer, which would affect those properties, until they are
annexed into the city. Therefore we are requesting that the council, at minimum, consider
implementing the same provisions as the county's ordinance, to provide the same buffer protection as
exists prior to annexation.
The Indian River County ordinance is entitled Section 929.07 St. Sebastian River and Indian
River Lagoon Aquatic Preserve Shoreline Protection Buffer Zone. You will find the text of that
section of the county ordinance attached hereto.
The St. Sebastian River is habitat for some rare and endemic species. Protection of the river
habitat is essential to their survival. Maintaining the `old Florida" nature of the river is also
important to those of us who recreate on the river. Any of our members and guests who have joined
us on our occasional canoe trips on the river, are always amazed at how unspoiled, peaceful and
amazingly beautiful it is so close to the city!

Section 929.07. St. Sebastian River and Indian River Lagoon Aquatic
Preserve Shoreline Protection Buffer Zone.
(1) For parcels created after June 18, 1991 along the St. Sebastian River, a one hundred -foot
shoreline protection buffer is hereby established measured from the mean high water mark of the
river or fifty (50) feet from the landward boundary of jurisdictional wetlands along the river or any
tributary, whichever is greater (cross reference section 911.12(4)(e)). For parcels of record which
existed prior to June 18, 1991, a fifty-foot shoreline protection buffer for unplatted parcels, and a
twenty- five -foot buffer for existing platted lots is hereby established on land parcels bordering the
St. Sebastian River or the Indian River Lagoon Aquatic Preserve, measured from the mean high
water line. In no case, however, with reference to parcels or lots of record, which existed prior to
June 18, 1991, shall the buffer(s) exceed twenty (20) percent of the parcel or lot depth
perpendicular to the applicable waterway.
(2) Within the shoreline protection buffer, no development shall be permitted with the exception
of docks, boat ramps, pervious walkways and elevated walkways which provide the property
owner with reasonable access to the waterway.
(a) No more than twenty (20) percent or twenty -five (25) feet, whichever is greater, of
any shoreline may be altered for reasonable access. Native vegetation in the remainder of the
shoreline protection buffer shall remain unaltered, except as may be allowed through county
trimming regulations.
(3) Shoreline alteration shall be prohibited, unless it is in the public interest or prevents or
repairs erosion damage, or provides reasonable access to the water, does not adversely impact
water quality, natural habitat or adjacent shoreline uses, and is permitted by all applicable
jurisdictional regulatory agencies. Any native vegetation removed in such instances except as
may be allowed in subsection 929.07(2)(a), shall be relocated or replaced on -site with
comparable vegetation and amount.
(Ord. No. 90 -16, 1, 9- 11 -90; Ord. No. 91 -48, 89, 12 -4 -91)
