answering Mr. Durr's question about landscaping, Ms. King said there is a note on the
site plan stating that damaged or dead landscaping on the entire site will be replaced
prior to final certificate of completion. Mr. Simmons asked if the crematory were rebuilt
within the same footprint then a public hearing would not be necessary and Ms. King
agreed. Mr. Young said they are expanding their operation to two crematories because
their business has grown.
Chmn. Paul asked for people in favor to speak. No one approached. He then asked for
anyone in opposition to speak.
Charles DeLauder, Exalted Ruler of the Sebastian Elks Lodge, 731 S. Fleming St. Mr.
DeLauder presented an information and recommendation letter (Exhibit 1, handed to the
Commissioners). He commented that over the years the funeral home and Elks have
been good neighbors. He has concerns about the increase in size of the crematory. He
feels the facility is too close to their building. He showed photos to the Commissioners
from the podium depicting the fire and at Mr. Ginsburg's instruction Mr. DeLauder gave
the photos to the recording secretary (Exhibit 2, five photos).
Andrew Simso, Treasurer of the Sebastian Elks Lodge, 731 S. Fleming St. commented
on the odor he smells from the crematory.
Eric Fischer, 69 Fischer Hammock Rd., asked that extra safety precautions be taken
when the crematory is rebuilt and possibly make the pipe extending above the roof more
aesthetically in line with other structures in the area. He read a letter from Maureen
Matheson to Mayor Gilimor and city council regarding the crematory's operation (Exhibit
3).
Greg Golien, 711 Wimbrow Dr., thought the application should be a new site plan and
not a minor modification and would like the building to be moved to the back of the
property.
Warren Dill, Esquire, 1565 US Highway #1, representing Sebastian General Partnership
and property owners association of Chesser Gap. He presented "Contestant Exhibit A
the Fire Marshal's report on the fire at the crematorium (Exhibit 4). He also submitted for
the record "Contestant Exhibit B a verbatim copy of the Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting of March 6, 2003 (Exhibit 5). He reviewed the past applications of
Seawinds for the funeral home and the crematory. Mr. Dill asked for an increase in the
buffer and decrease in the hours of operation. He submitted "Contestant Exhibit C the
Chesser Gap Phase II Final Plat (Exhibit 6, handed to the Commissioners) and
commented about the stormwater drainage. "Contestant Exhibit D" is a list of five
conditions Mr. Dill would like to see placed on the approval of this application (Exhibit 7,
handed to the Commissioners).
Mr. Young addressed some of the comments made. He explained the difference
between a funeral home which conducts visitations and services and a direct disposer,
which cannot provide visitations and services but only cremates remains. Seawinds is a
funeral home with a crematory on the facility. Shortened hours would not be acceptable
as he has had families want to witness the cremation.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF JANUARY 7, 2010
Mr. Pete Sweeney, office address of 3333 20 St., Vero Beach, attorney for Seawinds
Funeral Home. He stated the issue of stormwater drainage is not an issue pertinent to
tonight's discussion.
Chmn. Paul asked about the smoke and odor complaints from neighbors. Mr. Young
explained that DEP will come to the facility and witness a cremation for a duration of two
hours. DEP also inspects the machinery every two years. There was discussion about
relocating the crematory to the back of the funeral home building, more to the south end
of the property. Ms. King said that was the original location request but a previous
Planning Zoning Commission requested it be placed at the northeast corner. She also
said she spoke with the Indian River County Fire Department. They had no comments
on this application and the Fire Marshal said they have no issue with the location of the
building and everything went as it was supposed to in the event of a fire.
Mr. Dodd asked about the final plat for this part of the PUD. Ms. King replied the PUD is
a zoning classification, it is part of the Chesser's Gap PUD but it is not enjoined with the
association that has been established to take care of the stormwater system. Mr.
Neuberger asked about the fire marshal's report. Ms. King read a portion of the
conclusions of the fire report which stated this fire was an accidental event, and handed
copies to all the commissioners (see Exhibit 4). Mr. Young displayed on the overhead
projector the machinery and specifications sheet (Exhibit 8).
Mr. Dill rebutted some comments made. He is not asking for the building to be relocated;
the drainage issue needs to be resolved; he feels the project just meets the minimum
requirements; he read the fire marshal report, specifically the events leading up to the
fire, to substantiate the need for a fire suppression system and fire rated drywall.
There was a consensus of the commission to move the building south, away from the
Elks Lodge. The commissioners also discussed viable buffers to be used. Mr. Young
was agreeable to installing fire -rated drywall and improved landscaping but not moving
the building or installing a wall between his building and the Elks Lodge. Also discussed
was an aesthetic designed facade for the smokestack /chimney. Mr. Neuberger
expressed his concerns about the location of the crematorium.
Andrew Simso, 1569 Ocean Cove St., Treasurer of the Elks Lodge, expressed his
concern with the building meeting minimum code and the odor. He feels there is a
problem and this is a good time to correct it.
Greg Golien, 711 Wimbrow Dr., restated that he saw smoke emitted from the chimney.
Chmn. Paul closed the public comment portion of the public hearing and asked for staff
summation. Ms. Grohall said staff recommends approval with suggested conditions.
MOTION by Simmons /Durr to approve the site plan minor modification by Seawinds
Funeral Home, 735 Fleming Street, for a 500 SF addition to an existing crematorium with
the following conditions:
1. Provide St. Johns River Water Management District Permit, or letter of
exemption.

Chmn. Paul opened the public hearing and asked for ex parte communication, which
there was none. Mr. Ginsburg swore in everyone that would give testimony.
Mr. Steve Philipson, 415 Live Oak Dr., Vero Beach, presented a short video, a letter
(Exhibit 9), and drawing to the commission (Exhibit 10). The drawing is the same
rendering as the site plan commissioners had in their packets for review. He said the

sign.
Chmn. Paul asked for anyone in favor of the project to speak.
Joe Griffin, Sebastian Airport Manager, supports this change in use and asks the
commission also supports the change.
Chmn. Paul asked for anyone opposed to speak.
Holly Dill, 11675 Roseland Rd., thanked Ms. Grohall for sending out courtesy notices of
this application. She does not have any major objections with the understanding that
there will not be an increase in the number of signs and no additional lighting. She
asked that the fence be vinyl coated.

Subject: RE: Crematorium
Dear Mayor Gillmor,
I was very surprised to find out that the Seawinds Funeral Home has a proposal
before Planning and Zoning tonight to increase the size of the crematorium by
500 square feet. Since this crematorium has been in operation, there have been
several problems that the owner and the government entities that I have
contacted have not addressed. The most serious problem has been pollution.
On many occasions, there has been heavy black smoke coming from the
crematorium. When I contacted Seawinds, I was told that it was the result of
"fat content I was shocked that they would answer me like that, so I called the
City of Sebastian. They told me to call the County Health Department. The
County Health Department told me that with proper maintenance, there should
never be black smoke and they would notify the State. I never received any
resolution. The black smoke continued and on one occasion that I know of, a
police officer drove over to make sure it was not a fire.
There is absolutely no screening between the crematorium and Fleming Street.
Remains are wheeled on gurneys from the funeral home to the crematorium
within full view of Fleming Street. Sometimes, a gurney is left outside the

crematorium unattended. This really is not very respectful, and there should be
some kind of screening so that the cremation process is carried out privately.
When Seawinds asked for a permit to build the crematorium, they told the City it
would not be heavily used. This crematorium is almost always operating. It is
very heavily used.
The fire endangered everyone including the firemen. How did it happen? Was
this crematorium properly maintained? How many deceased were being
processed? With the fire, there are more questions than answers.
I urge City Council to deny this application and to regulate this business when it
reopens. They have not been good neighbors, and they have absolutely no right
to pollute our environment.
Sincerely,
Maureen Mathewson

CASE NUMBER: 09 -18569
DATE: 11/04/09
At approximately 1336 hours a structure fire was reported at 735 Fleming Street,
in the city of Sebastian. Firefighters arrived and reported a working fire at Seawinds
Funeral Home. They advised that the roof was on fire and they were making a quick
attack. I went en route and communicated by radio with B/C Dan Dietz while traveling.
Chief Dietz reported that the fire involved a small out building, not the funeral home. I
arrived on the scene at 1422 hours, and parked along side Chief Dietz. The involved
structure was ordinary construction with a gable roof and concrete shingles. It was
located on the northeast corner of the property, and faced to the south. The funeral home
building was not involved. Fire personnel had established a fire line, and it appeared the
fire was under control.
Fire Lt. Duran and Sebastian Police Officer Hepfer approach my vehicle. Officer
Hepfer reported that when he arrived smoke and fire were visible at the roof line and
flames were rolling out of an overhead door of the crematory. The funeral personnel were
on the scene and reported the fire. No one was injured.
it ,1

Lt. Duran was acting as safety officer and had spoken to the funeral home
personnel. Duran advised me that there were four deceased in the building at the time of
the fire. The cremator was in operation with client, two deceased were in a cooler, an a
third was on a shelf, outside the cooler. Mr. Sam Coburn was performing the cremations.
Mr. Coburn told Lt. Duran that he had performed the first cremation in the
morning, and started a second cremation (female) at about 1220 hours. He reported that
the temperature in the chamber was at 890f when he placed the subject, approximately
three hundred and fifty pounds into the retort. He pushed a button that would increase the
chamber temperature to 1690 degrees, and then returned to his office in the funeral home.
He (Coburn) was in the funeral home for about a half hour when a passer by entered to
report smoke coming from the chimney. Mr. Coburn walked out the back and was
approaching the building (crematory) when flames rolled out the overhead door. Mr.
Coburn ran back inside the funeral home and called 911.
Officer Hepfer advised that the funeral home personnel and other individuals
were gathered behind the funeral home, in front of the crematory. Responding to my
questions, he reported that he believed there were to news reporters among the group, and
the interior of the building was in plain view. Looking down the side of the funeral home
I observed PIO Brian Nolan moving about and talking to two individuals in street cloths.
The individuals were holding camera equipment. Based on this observation, I called Lt.
Duran back to my location, and questioned him about the activity and persons behind the
funeral home. He reported there were in fact two news reporters present, and that the
remains of deceased individuals might be visible.
2
I advised Lt. Duran that I was concerned about privacy and asked him to tell
Chief Nolan that I wanted him to escort these individuals to the front of the property
immediately. I met with Chief Dietz and reported the circumstances and my concerns.
Chief Dietz was unaware of Chief Nolan's location or that reporters were on the property.
Chief Dietz radioed Chief Nolan immediately. After meeting with Chief Dietz to
summarize the fire ground activity, I located Lt. Mark Wheeler, the first fire officer on
the scene.
Lt. Wheel reported that upon arrival he observed a large column of smoke arise
above the roof of the VFW Lodge. Pulling forward he observed that the fire was
contained to the smaller building of the funeral home. The roof assembly was burning
and the roof had begun to collapse igniting the interior of the building. He made a quick
attack through the garage door opening. Bringing the fire under control they observed
bodies in the building and quickly established the fire line. They were advised of the
circumstance and halted further overhaul until I arrived. Small fires continued in the
dropdown debris.
I located Lt. Duran and requested that he interview the funeral home personnel to
determine the identity of the individuals, their pre -fire locations, review the time line of
activities in the crematory, any remarkable or unusual circumstances or conditions that
might be associated with the fire event.
Florida Power and light was on the scene disconnecting the service drop to the
building, so I walked the exterior of the building to examine and photograph the fire
effects and patterns. All of the observed conditions were consistent with the ignition
occurring in the roof assemble, as reported by Mr. Coburn and Lt. Wheeler. Evaluation
3
of the thermal reduction to the various combustible aspects (trusses plywood) the
resulting assembly failure patterns, and the debris conditions, indicated the fire started
above the location of the cremator.
Lt. Duran joined me at the front of the building and provided me with his notes of
meeting with Mr. Coburn and Mr. Young. He also had copies of Department of Health
documents identifying the individuals. Mr. Coburn had noted their locations at the top of
each sheet. Chief Dietz advised me that he had spoken with B/C Norman Wells by
telephone. He contacted Chief Wells as he was an experienced crematory operator. Chief
Wells briefed Chief Dietz on common operations and conditions which occur during
cremation processes.
I photographed the interior of the building documenting the general fire damage,
drop down patterns and location of the deceased. Entering the building I photographed
and evaluated the ignition and burning of combustible materials in the work space below
the attic area. I identified a wood shelf assembly along the west wall, cardboard flats
(boxes), plywood, the cooler (metal &insulation), and a wood shelf assembly on the east
wall. Patterns of thermal impact (charring melting) to these assemblies and materials
were consistent with the fire development in the roof assembly, and ventilation or fluid
dynamics. I searched for any daily activity logs or charts but none were found. Thermal
impact to the metal exterior of the cremator was unremarkable; however the control
cabinet or operating panel was destroyed. Thermal effects to the various components of
the overall appliance varied with their exposure to the dropdown fuels and target fuels.
I met with Mr. Coburn review his earlier description of activities in the crematory
and his discovery of the fire. He reported that all of the daily activity logs and charts were
4
in side the building. Mr. Coburn confirmed that he was performing the cremations. Mr.
Coburn explained that he had performed an earlier cremation without incident. He
advised that the equipment was in good working order, and had been properly
maintained. At approximately 1215 or 1220 he placed a female in the cremator. He
recalled that she weighed approximately 350 pounds. The chamber was approximately
870f, as he told Lt. Doran. He closed the door and pushed the button (preset) to bring the
chamber temperature up to 1690f, then, he when back into the funeral home.
As he had reported earlier, he was in the office about one half hour when someone
came in reported that visible smoke was coming out the chimney stack and he
immediately when to check the cremator. Exiting the rear of the funeral home he was
approaching the building, when he saw fire (flames) in the roof and fire coming out of the
open door. Seeing the fire he immediately alerted the others and called 911.
Mr. Young joined us asking when he could remove the remains. He had made
arrangements to transfer the individuals to Yates Funeral home. I advised the pair that I
need to examine the cremator, and take some elevated photographs. After which I would
have our personnel remove the subjects from the fire debris and transfer them to his
personnel.
Ladder One, was set up and I took additional photographs. While they
repositioned the truck, to block the area from view, walked through the scene to review
my observations. With the ladder repositioned I met with fire personnel and they
removed the individuals from the debris and carried them outside, where they were
received by the funeral personnel.
5
I advised the funeral home operators to leave the scene undisturbed and notify
their insurance company (State Farm) of the fire. I cleared the fire scene at 1640 hours.

CONCLUSIONS
Based on my observations and investigation of the fire scene, reliable statements
and reports of professionals, the known circumstances and conditions surrounding the
6
event, and the statements of witnesses at the scene, I have developed the following
opinions: These opinions are offered with a reasonable degree of scientific certainty,
based on my education, training, reliable published research, and professional experience
in these matters.
1. This fire was an accidental event.
2. The area of origin was in the roof assembly
3. The first fuel ignited was ordinary combustibles of the roof assembly.
4. Ignition of the first fuels was the result of excessive heat transfer (radiant
and /or conducted) from the emissions vent (stack) pipe assembly.
5. Failure to monitor and regulate cremation chamber resulted in excessive heat
conditions.

my understanding of what the commission wanted we tried to provide additional
buffering and landscaping in addition to the relocation of the crematorium and I think
that's reflected ah well it is reflected on the new site plan that you have and I'm here to
answer any technical questions you have I have talked a little bit with Dr. Fischer on the
project and I think the buffers are one of the big issues that we have and we're here to
address any of those.
SMITH: Okay thank you anyone else for the applicant. Okay does anyone else
want to comment on this. Mr. Fischer.
FISCHER: Henry Fischer 520 Blue Island Street Sebastian we had some comments
last time my major concern and I've discussed it with Tracy Hass that ah this is a
negative impact on adjacent property owner and I'm adjacent property owner and we've
talked about this last time and you couldn't find a worse neighbor than to have
somebody with a human incinerator I can't think of anything we talked about that and ah
I've also talked with this gentleman about purchasing a buffer of 87 feet from my
property I have I'm working with an individual that's been in Sebastian and does a lot of
multiple family in Sebastian and he's interested were meeting with him on Monday and
we have programmed 100 units of multiple family either condos or rentals more likely
rentals close to this piece of property and it could be adjacent to this piece of property so
I'm as an owner of the land adjacent to it Sebastian General Partnership BFT find I have
a neighbor that has a detrimental effect on my property of monumental proportions and I
suggested to this gentleman that he might want to put this on the front of his property
Elks don't have a problem with this up against the Elks that's his alternative or purchase
at a reasonable fee a buffer on my piece of property and I think that's if he hasn't done
that and he hasn't contacted me in regards to this he was supposed to have called me
this afternoon he never called me back so I think you need to delay this for 30 days until
he can acquire a buffer and if not move the incinerator human incinerator up to the front
west northwest corner of the property as far from my property as you can I think it's a
reasonable request because it's going to destroy the value of adjacent property. Thank
you.
SMITH: Thank you sir. Okay, staff.
HASS: Okay well I've heard from the applicant and the adjacent property owner
concerning this request and as was discussed at the previous meeting there were some
concerns relative to the impact of this use to the adjacent property. As you can see in
accordance with the provisions as outlined by the planning commission at that previous
hearing the applicant has moved the location of the crematory to the northeast corner of
the property and also included the buffer as described and explained to them by the
board at that last meeting. As you can see on the plan the reflections have been made
that however does not necessarily or has not satisfied the adjacent property owner and
that they feel that they're still impacted negatively by the proposal. Now as far as our
zoning code requirements are in place the applicant has satisfied those requirements the
one outstanding issue is whether or not this creates an adverse impact to the adjacent
property. Through the conditional use criteria there are a couple of conditions that were
outlined in the code that were satisfied during the initial construction of the funeral home
and no other conditions are outlined for the actual use of the crematorium with the
relocation and additional landscaping again the applicant has addressed the concerns
as raised by the board and essentially this evening what we would like to do is enter into
a discussion with the planning commission as to your feelings on this particular use and
answer any questions you may have.
SMITH: Okay all right do we have anyone else who wants to speak pro or con on
this item. Okay members Mr. Faille.
ALLOCCO: May I
SMITH: Sure
ALLOCCO: Open I find issue with the ah land use I don't feel that it falls into the
definition for a funeral home as outlined on land development code specifically page
LDC2238 if I may I'll read the definition of funeral home, funeral homes the premises
structure or site used as a commercial establishment for the preparation of deceased
humans for burial and or for the conduction of funeral services prior to burial or other
disposition of deceased human remains. There's no mention whatsoever about
cremation.
HASS: This is an accessory to the approved or permitted use
ALLOCCO: It would still have to fall into the
HASS: accessory
ALLOCCO: into the definition would it not
HASS: Not necessarily no
ALLOCCO: We would consider an incinerator and incinerators I believe are prohibited
in this state in the City of Sebastian yes
YOUNG: Didn't you say other disposition
ALLOCCO: Yes but that's the paragraph that deals with the services not with the
preparation I'm simply reading it the way its read and there happens to be a typo in it
besides. But let me go on to another issue since you brought it up you stood here two
weeks four weeks ago and took an oath stating that you had this permit in hand and Mr.
Hass did the same thing not once not twice multiple times its in the record to me that's a
misrepresentation or it might even be considered perjury I don't know we would have to
ask the city attorney about that issue and where it falls into this hearing might I ask Mr.
Stringer to comment.
STRINGER: Ah in the event of well within a quasi judicial hearing I don't speak near as
loud as Tracy did when he was talking into this thing in a quasi judicial hearing you
largely serve the function of a judge in the way the evidence comes in front of you if the
board feels that someone has not been forthcoming in their testimony it gives you a
basis to have doubt about all their testimony ah so I mean at that point if there is a
misrepresentation it would entitle you to accept or reject anything else offered by that
person um testimony in a quasi judicial is under oath ah if someone comes up and under
oath you know states blanket falsehoods um yeah that would be subject to perjury laws
ah you know so that wouldn't be anything that would come through here as far as your
options in that like I said if you feel that something's been misrepresented to you it
entitles you to disregard the veracity of anything else it would give you grounds to
question anything else that was told to you.
ALLOCCO: Okay thank you in continuing I did contact the state department of
environmental protection I spoke with a Mr. Jeff Ruskin there who's the person who is
assigned the task of following up on the application that was submitted by Mr. Young for
this facility. During the entire proceedings a month ago no mention was ever made of the
word emissions other than the word emission. No definition of what that meant to us or
to the neighboring properties so I went ahead and asked Mr. Ruskin based on the permit
that was applied for how much how much can be released to the atmosphere in
particulate matter and it comes down to one pound two ounces every hour that it
operates that's how much is going to be released into the atmosphere directly adjacent
to the Elks directly adjacent to any residential property close by the charter school
across from the Kash N Karry.
BLESSING: Say that again
ALLOCCO: one point two pounds of particulate matter
BLESSING: That's if its malfunctioning?
ALLOCCO: No that's under normal operation they're allowed to spill this into the
atmosphere after all if we take a 200 pound person and we incinerate them for 2 hours
where does the body weight go we're left with a small urn full of ash or bone chips it
goes up into the air.
BLESSING: I spent two hours at Lowther Funeral Home at their crematory and they
were cremating someone and nothing was coming out and they had mirrors to reflect
anything that was coming out.
ALLOCCO: Well I beg to differ you're welcome to I'll give you Mr. Ruskin's phone
number here and ask him about it yes it does go up into the air now as a commercial
property adjacent to this for instance the Elks hall or the Kash N Karry they have air
conditioning systems located on the roof by Florida statute falling under the mechanical
code they're allowed or required to draw ten percent of outside air to dilute the build -up
of gases within the building and where do you think that's going to be drawn from the
surround area or the plume that's put up from the incinerator so no mention was made of
this its pure fact it can be check this is exactly 1.2 pounds its quite a bit based on a
yearly if we expanded his permit allows 10,241 pounds to be released into the
atmosphere up to any amount to and that would include I mean that would partake in
about a thousand cadavers. Based on this I don't see how I could vote for this type of
operation anywhere and based on the misrepresentations if I'm allowed to I would ah
like to make a motion right now although I would pass to other questions that the board
members might have and I would like to make the first motion upon return to me. Thank
you.
SMITH: Mr. Faille.
FAILLE: I'd like to ask is there an air washer involved in the equipment with this
place?
YOUNG: Before I go on Andrew as far as are you a mechanical engineer?
ALLOCCO: Yes I am I'm a professional engineer licensed by the State of Florida plus
I'm a mechanical contractor State of Florida license for 16 17 years now.
YOUNG: I was just curious if you were a mechanical engineer. As far as the
process for the cremation which I spoke about a couple of weeks ago the cremation
process takes about an hour and a half to two hours. The degree of the crematory is
between 1900 and 2200 degrees Fahrenheit it is a direct flame that hits that cremates
the person during the process the smoke goes up through a filtration system, which is
approved, by the state of Florida and it purifies and goes out the top of the crematory
through the furnace.
FAILLE: My question was is the filtration process dry or wet?
YOUNG: It's dry.
ALLOCCO: It's ah, question please sir it's not a zero emission operation it's not a zero
emission operation correct?
YOUNG: I'm not a mechanical engineer and I as far as that would
ALLOCCO: Well that was another problem I believe one of the members I think Mr.
Blessing asked to be supplied with technical data on the equipment specifically
operation manuals and the like all we did receive was a hand sketch of a
YOUNG: There's been a full copy of the retort given to Tracy.
HASS: In our files if anyone would like to peruse the documents
YOUNG; It's in their files. Well I guess my only concern would be we can a
crematory in Vero Beach we can have three crematories in Brevard county but here in
Sebastian we cannot have one.
ALLOCCO: You have a home in Melbourne which is a city of an excess of 60,000
persons have you applied up there for a crematorium.
YOUNG: I just recently acquired the funeral home.
ALLOCCO: By the way the one in Vero is located directly across from the railroad
tracks because I visited the exterior of it today it is not in a highly residential area its next
door to the Lesco fertilizer plant.
YOUNG: It's also beside the Indian River County Health Unit.
ALLOCCO: Well no the health department I believe is by the theater which is
YOUNG: The health department is right down the street and they keep a close eye
on the crematory.
STRINGER: If I can Mr. Chairman just stating for the record um as we typically do
where we have two quasi judicial hearings concerning the same matter we jointly hear
the testimony and have the hearing but entertain separate motions um for that reason
this is also the hearing for the conditional use.
SMITH: Right
STRINGER: Um while emissions may not generally be within the realm of a site plan
review they would be within the conditional use if you look at the requirements of the
code but just for the record this actually is a dual hearing but typically we vote on
separate motions.
SMITH: That's what I intended to do with it to vote on two separate items here but
we did swear everyone in for both. Mr. Mahoney.
MAHONEY: Oh are you going around this way oh okay fine. I gotta thank Mr. Allocco
for his ah intrinsic statements he's made here but ah got to remember we're next to 512
which is a major artery and there's a lot of atomized rubber from tires going by there
every hour and I wonder if anyone's done any studies on that to see how much
particulate matter wafting into the air from all those tires there's got to be a considerable
amount of that and my biggest problem is I'm confused about the permit or the issuance
of the permit or the lack of issuance thereof. There was an article in the paper or a public
notice an intent to issue a permit for an air construction permit and an air construction
permit is the one you must secure before you can make it an air general permit or a
regular operating permit so this was issued February 11 after we had our meeting and
after people had stated that the permits had been acquired so that's where I'm confused.
Do they have an air construction permit now?
HASS: On January 21 the state issued the notice of completion of their review
now when I, I'm sorry if I misled anyone at the previous hearing when I said that we had
that in the file what we had in the file was the actual notice from the state they completed
their review and were preparing the notice of intent then the next step is the notice of
intent following notice of intent to issue after the advertising requirements have been
satisfied that's when the permit is issued much like when we go through a land use
change within a community the state department of community affairs for any type of
modification or comp plan they will advertise that prior to acknowledging that the city can
move forward with that and so that's what's happened in this particular instance they ran
the ad in the local newspaper and also sent the applicant the detailed letter package
outlining that they were going to issue the permit
MAHONEY: Notice of intent
HASS: Notice of intent
MAHONEY: but there's a period when someone may appeal
HASS: That's correct
MAHONEY: Yes sir
YOUNG: They issued the draft permit about a month and a half ago which they
issue ahead of time and then once the ah as far as the actual permit we should receive
that probably in the next few days we're expecting it any day but they issue a draft
permit and give you the number just to go ahead and take care of the city part of it
ALLOCCO: Draft permit
MAHONEY: A draft permit?
ALLOCCO: Draft permit
MAHONEY: Could you explain what that is?
YOUNG: You should have a copy of ah
ALLOCCO: Well do we have it in the file would we send Mr. Hass to his office to
retract it and ah show it to us a draft permit you might mean a draft application
YOUNG: It was faxed to me I gave it to you
HASS: Yeah I think its in here I saw it
ALLOCCO: I have the copy of what you have in your hand there and that just shows
that you have a completed application and paid your fee.
HASS: This was issued
YOUNG: We've had that for two months
HASS: January 21s 2003 this is what I was referring to that was in the file
ALLOCCO: So in other words what this tells me is that he submitted a complete
application but it says here they're not going to act on it until probably April 21 which is
contrary to a few days from now again I I really don't want to stress again
misrepresentation but it seems that's all we're getting here.
HASS: This is typical of any as I explained in my memo to the commission this is
typical of any intergovernmental agency that we deal with when they're reviewing St.
John's permit for instance we
ALLOCCO: We're not talking about the St. John's permit
HASS: Well we're talking about similar issues let me explain please in a St.
John's permit the same thing occurs we very rarely have a St. John's permit in hand
prior to the issuance of the site plan approval or the subdivision approval just as with the
health department these are other governmental agencies that have jurisdictional review
capabilities through their own separate permits our site plan approval is not contingent
upon the applicant obtaining these other state agency permits yes our code stipulates
that they have to obtain those but that does not mean that we have to they have to
obtain them prior to the site plan being approved.
ALLOCCO: Well if you remember a month ago I asked you specifically questions
such as that in other words if we turned down a month ago there's a good chance the
state wouldn't issue that permit but if we pass it there's another good chance that they
might now your
HASS: The state is not going to evaluate based on whether or not the city
approves it or not the state is going to issue it under their own criteria they have a
separate set of guidelines they follow it has nothing to do with the local jurisdiction.
ALLOCCO: Okay
YOUNG: Can I add something, They're going to come down and check the
machine also once it's installed.
ALLOCCO: I have no problem with that because the machine most likely if its being
sold in the state must comply I don't have a question with that and in going back to the
memo that you've submitted just now to me you eliminated a few other words that I had
asked you about a month ago now if we must I brought the transcript of the tape we can
play the tape right now if you'd like and hear the whole story.
HASS: I'm not sure that would accomplish anything what we're trying to do here
is establish the fact of the matter is they've obtained the necessary they've submitted the
necessary applications to the state the state has issued the interim permit the state has
issued the notice of intent to issue permit
ALLOCCO: I disagree
HASS: Which is not a part of the actual the site plan application that's being
reviewed here by you you are reviewing the use yes they still have to obtain the state
permits if they do not obtain the state permits they will not get building permits
ALLOCCO: I object to the use interim permit I spoke with Mr. Ruskin have you spoken
with him
HASS: No I have not spoken with him
ALLOCCO: There is no such thing as an interim permit there's a permit or no permit
HASS: Well they have an interim number so what do you want to call it and I
don't see where this line of questioning is going what we're here to review is exactly
we're to review the actual use is this use consistent with our land use guidelines and our
zoning guidelines is this an appropriate use for this piece of property the state will handle
the guidelines they will review this from their own regulatory
ALLOCCO: Okay
HASS: issue and determine whether or not it's consistent with their guidelines. If
they don't abstain if Mr. Young does not obtain all of the sign offs from the state level
he's not going to get local permits to build the facility.
SMITH: Mr. Mahoney do you have anything else?
MAHONEY: Yeah I'd like to read from your first synopsis they signed off on January
the 29 where your talking about number 23 other matters and you say Seawinds Real
Estate company has received the requisite department of environmental protection air
resources management permits for a humane I remember I asked about humane you
said that's the way the permit was printed
HASS: That's right right on here
MAHONEY: crematory facility so that's saying that he has received all the permits
HASS: Well and that's in accordance with what I had received from Mr. Young
that was actually a copy of what the state had issued to him
MAHONEY: Yes well
ALLOCCO: Do we have a copy of the actual handwritten or typed application that was
made?
HASS: We've got the complete application we've got all of the technical
specifications we've got everything that you could ever ask for its right here.
SMITH: Mr. Fischer.
FISCHER: Ah, Henry Fischer, if the applicant had stated on
LORUSSO: Dr. Fischer, would you please, thank you so much.
FISCHER: The adjacent property owner was never notified by the state or by this
individual had the ah I clearly remember him stating he had this permit in hand. If he
hadn't had the permit in hand and he wouldn't have said that we could there's a public
input ah into the DEP permitting process and we would have had able to comment on
this by him disguising that he had the permit when he didn't have the permit left once
again the adjacent property owner ah without adequate notification. Thank you.
SMITH: Bill.
MAHONEY: Oh well enough of that as for the change itself you're going to be
removing the dumpster correct. Where the dumpster is now
HASS: That is correct and the actually from our understanding currently do not
really utilize the dumpster itself they have pick up at the door as opposed to using the
dumpster and its not a specific requirement that site can maintain a separate dumpster
as long as they have
MAHONEY: I was wondering where is the dumpster there's not going to be one
HASS: No there's not going to be one.
MAHONEY: Okay its just going to be removed okay correct so putting the facility there
you know that would be a change since the dumpster is already there yeah
HASS: Right.
MAHONEY; So
HASS: Right, its going in the location where the dumpster was
MAHONEY: It would be unobtrusive as far as the worthiness of the change um I was
just wondering where Dr. Fischer in relation to Seawinds you plan on putting in your
apartments.
FISCHER: The apartments can go adjacent to this property.
MAHONEY: Yes okay well they're putting in live oak correct they're going to put some
live oak in there which they start off live oak starts branching very close to the ground so
it's a very good tree for covering that they've got so that's a good move right there and
actually you're not going to have only 47 parking spaces now you'll have 49 because
you're only removing one parking space.
HASS: Right with the modification now right
MAHONEY: Yeah okay just want to get that corrected well that's all I have for now,
thank you.
SMITH: Mr. Blessing
BLESSING: Yes I'm going to have some questions for Mr. Young and Mr. Mosby I'm
not entirely satisfied with the screening that I had suggested previously that there be 25
foot screening of a class A catch me if I'm wrong here Tracy, but a class A opaque
screen and my purpose was to sort of disguise funeral cars backing up to this facility in
other words minimizing the activity that would be going in there I now believe that the
screen should be 40 foot in length from both sides not 25 and then I'd like to see for the
next 15 feet a Type B screen on both sides. I think that would have a little bit better
effect on screening this facility and making it less um offensive to people who might be
looking there. Question, garage door, which way is it going to open besides up I mean is
it going to open on the west side of the building or the south side of the building.
YOUNG: It will be on the
LORUSSO: I'm sorry Mr. Young please come up to the podium. Thank you.
STRINGER: Then everybody can hear once the question has been answered
YOUNG: It would be on the west side of the building.
BLESSING: Is there any reason why it can't be on the south side again
YOUNG: There's no problem
BLESSING: Again ah your limousines or the funeral parlor's would be more screened
by the funeral home and the screening landscape screening we're asking for if they were
backing up from that direction
YOUNG: Yeah, that's no problem, as far as putting the garage door on the other on
the south side of the building but I guess you know as far as we have funerals there
probably every other day or two or three times a week and we go out the side of the
chapel and place them into the funeral coach and we
BLESSING: I understand that all I'm trying to do is minimize the offensiveness the
psychological offensiveness that this may have to people that are looking in at the
property
YOUNG: Yeah, that would be no problem to make that change to the facility.
BLESSING: How many bodies will the refrigeration store 3, 6
YOUNG: Probably the unit that we will put inside the facility will hold 5 to 7 remains.
BLESSING: Okay, ah the crematory requires a lot of air I mean from what I observed
when I went down to Lowther Funeral Home was that it consumed a great deal of air and
they had a screened garage door that was opened plus they had other vents around the
building. The last meeting we talked about venting to the north and I presume that you
are still going to do it but it looks there was no indication of venting on the wall there
power vent I think it is right.
YOUNG: Correct.
BLESSING: Okay so if we can make sure that that still is going to be on the north side
YOUNG: That's no problem as far as
BLESSING: And it might be wise to have a screen facility over the door the garage
door so it could be left opened now I've I sat there and watched that chimney there was
a person being cremated for at least 2 hours and there was not any white smoke there
didn't seem to be any particular pollution coming out of it it was clean and frankly ah Mr.
Lowther told me he said we have to be very careful of that because if the state the state
just rolls in here and sits back in the parking lot and watches this thing for half a day at a
time he said and if it starts to smoke he said we are in serious trouble he said it's
something that we really watch carefully and he emphasized the fact that you need
operations that have been well trained on this and ah so that they're doing things right
they can't start the furnace too soon without it heating up that sort of thing. Who made
your furnace and where are they located?
YOUNG: It's a Crawford machine it's out of Orlando, Florida
BLESSING: Oh okay, okay that's probably the same one that I saw. Um will they
service it for you and does it require regular service?
YOUNG: Yes sir it does require regular service and they will take they will have a
maintenance contract with the Seawinds Real Estate Company.
BLESSING: Okay if ah how often have you been told that the state will show up
unannounced
YOUNG: Well they show up right now probably 5 or 6 times a year to check over
the funeral home the preparation room the department of professional regulations they
check over our paper work they come in and check the facilities ah since the problems
up in Georgia and some of the other states they quite frequently come to the facilities.
As a matter of fact we were just inspected not even a month ago.
BLESSING: Is there someone from management always going to be available when a
cremation is going on.
YOUNG: As far as one of the funeral directors will be at the site
BLESSING: Skilled in handling this kind of a facility
YOUNG: Ah yes sir as far as the training procedures I had sent that to Tracy the
engineer I hired from Orlando comes over and does the training for the people that are
going to operate the machine and they are certified he is certified by the state of Florida
to do the training and Tracy does have a copy of that in his file.
BLESSING: I know this is an emotional issue with people but its our job to be
constructive and not obstructive and we don't want anybody getting hurt the adjacent
land owners included but Sebastian is growing at around 9% a year and I frankly believe
we've got to consider this favorably. It's zoned properly and if we can keep the
offensiveness of this the psychological offensiveness of this facility at a minimum I would
vote for it. That's all I have.
YOUNG: Thank you Mr. Blessing.
MAHONEY: Might I ask you a question at what stage of the process are you in
acquiring the permit?
YOUNG: As far as the state permit for the crematory
MAHONEY: Yes the state permit.
YOUNG: The state has issued a draft permit number to the funeral home and that's
where we're at this point.
MAHONEY: Yes we were provided with some information from Mr. Allocco is that prior
to obtaining an air general permit a regular operating permit all new facilities are required
to obtain and demonstrate compliance with an air construction permit have you acquired
an air construction permit.
YOUNG: Yes sir we have that's the draft that's the copy that Tracy has in his file
from the state with the number.
MAHONEY: Did you have it a month ago when you made the statement that you did
have it (unintelligible) that you did have the permit a month ago.
YOUNG: I received it in January from the state of Florida and there's a note from
the gentleman, which Tracy has in his file that your permit number has been issued and
you can continue with the project.
MAHONEY: Was that the intent to issue a permit or you had obtained the permit
YOUNG: Yes they had they had given us the okay on the machine they look into
the machine as far as the actual machine the specs on the machine and they issue the
permit if it meets their criteria which it did and they issued the draft permit number to us.
I mean as far as the actual crematory goes through the state and as far as you
gentlemen as far as I would feel we meet the requirement of the City of Sebastian on the
land use the crematory goes through the state of Florida to get the approval it really has
very little to do with the City of Sebastian.
STRINGER: That's my job to advise them they have to do so.
YOUNG: But my statement as far as the permit is offered is brought to us by the
state of Florida on the machine as far as the machine has past their tests we've given
them all the specs on the machine they've issued the permit number for us it's called a
draft permit.
MAHONEY: Yeah I have a permit number here but I thought it would be different yes
Randy.
MOSBY: Again Randy Mosby, ah I'm kind of in a particular situation here because
I'm the engineer of record for Chessar's Gap and I've been Dr. Fischer's engineer for
many, many, many years and ah I know that there's been some discussions about
buffering between Mr. young and Dr. Fischer and again that's not an engineering issue
that's a land deal issue and I don't even want to address that and I really do appreciate it
I've never met Andrew before and I appreciate you all having an engineer on staff
because I think it's very valuable to your commission but one thing as a suggestion that I
can make and I cannot offer probably any more to this meeting tonight than maybe make
one more change or suggested change to the drawings the site as its designed has two
additional parking spaces and what we can do to provide more buffer as Mr. Blessing
was referring to we could move that crematorium approximately 20 feet further to the
west and eliminate two parking spaces and would still meet the parking requirements of
the city that would give us 20 feet more buffer to the property to the east and we could
and again I haven't talked this over with my client we could in addition to the buffering for
that short segment of the building there could be a missionary wall opaque buffer put in
along that east property line so we could add 20 more feet of landscape area and add a
wall for that short distance and it would provide a substantial more buffer with regards to
what Dr. Fischer is recommending I can't comment on that at all it's not my money I
don't write the paychecks but as an engineer the site plan can be modified to make
those changes and from what I'm picking up from the discussions here its ah the main
issue is buffering and the landscaping and I believe that's one if Mr. Blessing's the
comments about the emissions you know more about mechanical engine I'm a structural
civil engineer well when the permit allows it they set those as maximum limits when you
look at that bag there that's scary to me ah if that's the maximum allowed by permit
hopefully its not producing that so you hope that your permits are operating at much
lower than what's allowed by the permit application. I, I, my office is right next to the one
that you went to Lowther's funeral home I've never even seen any emissions, smelled
anything, our office is right next door to it if I didn't know it was there I wouldn't know it
was there. You know but as an engineer we could we could move the building 20 feet to
the west and we can get more green space and more buffer and if my client agrees to it
he could even put a short segment of masonry wall there that would provide a more
opaque feature. Again but that I can't speak of what Dr. Fischer would agree to and I
can't speak for what Mr. Young is going to agree to but engineering wise the site plan
can be modified and still meet all the codes. Tracy and I just looked at it and ah that's all
I have to ah add I mean if there's any other technical questions which it doesn't sound
like there is cause I'm not a mechanical engineer
ALLOCCO: We have one here
MOSBY:
ALLOCCO:
parking?
MOSBY:
ALLOCCO:
MOSBY:
MAHONEY:
ALLOCCO:
Okay
The addition of the 480 square foot building doesn't that require additional
Hopefully it's reflected in the revised parking calculations Tracy um
You're very marginal as it is and
As you see on this my engineer on the site plan
...five spaces for employees
Now do you add an employee to operate the crematorium?
MOSBY: Ah I don't know how again I don't know how that operates I would think
that you are probably not having your not doing a cremation while you're having a
funeral service I don't know hopefully I won't know that business for a long time and then
when I get to that point hopefully I won't know how it's done anyway. Ah but I don't know
with the power I believe our parking calculations are done per code and I've got a very
good engineer that does those for me and ah I'd look at them at one time but I don't
remember but I'm sure that we did them per the code.
HASS: Based on the use proposed there's an additional 5 parking spaces over
what is required by code for this use.
SMITH: Okay. Randy I like your comment on having an engineer but many of us
up here have much more experience in different fields and I think you've come up in the
brunt of it a few times here with some of your things
MOSBY: Oh yeah
SMITH: I took you on quite a few times
MOSBY: Don't get me wrong I wasn't saying that anyone here is more
knowledgeable than anyone else I think you have a very good board here I've just never
really been let's say in one of my areas of expertise or one of my site plans where it was
real technically orientated where I could answer the questions which a crematorium is
not I haven't had that opportunity to go head to head with Andrew but I think it's great to
have an engineer.
SMITH: We're very fortunate to have Andrew with us. Ms. Monier.
MONIER: I'm almost glad I missed the last meeting. (END OF SIDE ONE) and the
terminology that's being used I'd like to see leave this meeting um this is a natural
process its not necessarily a comfortable one for a lot of people but it sounds to me that
Mr. Young is dong everything he can to work with the community as far as buffer and to
ease that psychological issue um as far as I can tell the paperwork whether the timing
was off one way or the other it seems straight to me by now all the permits the state's
doing what they need to do um I don't think I see any problems with this, this is just part
of life and unless there's a staff issue with permitting, which seems to be our biggest
issue, it sounds like it's been taken care of.
SMITH: Dr. Fischer you want to speak again?
FISCHER: Yeah, please, this is only nice if it's in somebody else's back yard if this
was near your house you'd be screaming ah there's a number of choices that can be
made tonight ah the number one choice would be this gentleman would move to a place
near the railroad track in a general commercial away from a residential area um that
would be a great thing I would recommend if you are going to approve it delay it 30 days
for further discussion and ah there are a lot things that you can do as a planning and
zoning board you're just not up here for a formality there are restrictions can be put on
this operation of this very very very very negative impact on my property and I would
strongly recommend this gentleman move it up to the northwest number one he doesn't
have to put it on my boundary it's a nice recommendation on 20 feet he should purchase
more buffer so he doesn't negatively the value of my property will be decreased at least
50 to 80 percent when he puts this on my boundary line okay this is not a mundane
operation he should be restricted to the hours of operations not on Saturday or Sunday
he's told us that he's only going to do one or two things he said there's not very much
business on this so he doesn't need Saturday and Sunday and that's your prerogative
that's your duty in matter of fact that's why you're here hours of operation it's not unusual
you put hours of operations on my operations all the time so I'm not I'm used to that so
you do that that's part of you job.
MAHONEY:
FISCHER:
MAHONEY:
FISCHER: You've done it on car washes so here's a guy with an incinerator next to
residential areas so you do have the right to certify that the Elks while they're having a
picnic on Sunday don't have to have him cranking this thing up. Um the ah you can
demand or you can require an operator that's certified on site at all time we know they
do fail that's why the state comes looks at these things and you already know from t his
engineer that gave a that the state when they would come to you they would need a
certified smoke detector the DEP doesn't have that he says I inspect it 5 times that
doesn't mean anything the DEP would have to send a smoke specialist with the
instruments to negate or cause him any trouble so he got this ah what is it 11 what was
the poundage it can do.
ALLOCCO:
FISCHER:
ALLOCCO:
We've done that with the car wash.
Pardon
We've done it on a car wash.
It can do 1.2 pounds per hour
1.2 pounds per hour
10,241
FISCHER: 10,000 see that's a lot that's more than a gigantic incinerator which
Randy knows so you got this ah hours of operation, certified personnel on site, more
buffer, go to the northwest side, if he's in a hurry he'll yield to you he'll go to the
northwest side I don't want him on my boundary I don't want him to cost me I paid a lot
of money for this site I put in water and sewer and drainage and ah thoroughfares and
um plumbing water pipes drainage pipes and I've got a tot of money in this thing okay
and it's not fair for this fellow to come here and dump on this community on this thing
you need to limit his hours to 8 hours a day no Saturdays and Sunday a certified person
on site and you all need to get a smoke detector so in case this doesn't because there's
no one gonna monitor this the DEP doesn't send a smoke detector down in 25 years so
this thing can run any way he wants to run it so at least give the Elks a chance in their
picnic area on Saturday and Sunday that they don't have this guy cranking these bodies
out of here which I don't have any problem with these I just have a problem with it in my
back yard. Thank you.
MONIER: Sir do you
SMITH: Dr. Fischer can I ask you one question. You mentioned about a buffer
that you were trying to get Mr. Young to purchase part of your land to use as a buffer
you said something about 97 feet is that the length across the back of the property.
FISCHER: It's 250 by 87 would be a half acre and that's what we discussed with this
gentleman and he's got another home he's built he tells me and he's just purchased one
in Melbourne and he's building one in Vero and where do you think all those bodies are
going to go. Now there's hundreds and hundreds and thousands of bodies sitting in
Melbourne with no place to go and he's picked Sebastian so you got to know that he's
going to crank them out you need ah you don't need them there cranking that thing 24
hours a day if he can't do it in 8 hours and he can't do it during the week days and he
can't do it within (unintelligible) then don't give him the permit.
MONIER: Um, how long has Strunk Funeral home when was it built?
MR. YOUNG: 1982
MONIER: 1982 Dr. Fischer when did you buy your property?
SMITH: That was his all along
MONIER: Or Seawinds I'm sorry
FISCHER: Sold him his property I've sold him his property okay
MR. YOUNG: 5 years ago
FISCHER: 5 years ago I bought the property in 86 something like that
MONIER: Okay so you bought the property the funeral home was there no
HASS: No it was constructed after the purchase
MONIER: After Dr. Fischer owned all the property and then sold to for a funeral
home
HASS: That's correct
MONIER: Okay
MR. YOUNG: I'd like to add something, as far as restricting the crematory for not being
able to run the crematory on the weekend the problem with that in the state of Florida
there's a 48 hour waiting period before you can be cremated and also there's paperwork
that we need to get completed in the mean time let's say for instance somebody passed
away.on Wednesday and they came into the funeral home and made the arrangements
there's a 48 hour waiting period before we can cremate the person well we may not get
the paperwork with the authorization back from the medical examiner so we would have
to wait until Monday of the following week to cremate that person it it as far as it's 48
hours from the time of death and also sometimes the doctor won't sign the death
certificate for a day or a day and a half so we would have to make that family wait until
the following Monday before the cremation would take place so you're talking
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday six days before the person
would be cremated.
SMITH: I understand that you have a refrigerator that will hold 7 bodies is that
correct.
YOUNG: That's correct but I'm talking about the part that your mother is there at
the funeral home for 6 days before she can be cremated because the City of Sebastian
doesn't want anybody working on the weekend in the crematory.
SMITH: Well, okay thank you.
BLESSING: One question Mr. Young ah the crematory is equipped with a silencer
YOUNG: Yes sir you can pretty much stand right outside the crematory and not
hear it run. I mean you were down at Lowther Funeral Home and you were probably
sitting in the front reception in the reception where the reception is and probably couldn't
even hear the retort running could you.
BLESSING: No it was it was relatively quiet you can hear it but for a machine that size
and doing what it was doing it was relatively quiet.
YOUNG: It's very quiet.
BLESSING: And I want to thank you Mr. Fischer for suggesting that I learn something
about crematories.
ALLOCCO: Okay, is it a requirement that you have a sign there explaining
crematorium or stating crematorium is that in the Florida Statute in your industry.
YOUNG: That a crematory is located on the property?
ALLOCCO: Doesn't it have to say crematorium.
YOUNG: Well we will put up a new sign once this is approved and put Seawinds
Funeral Home and Crematory but to my knowledge
ALLOCCO: You were asked that question a month ago and ah somebody asked
about identifying it and you said it would be not obvious.
YOUNG: As far as most of the funeral homes have for instance Strunk Funeral
Home and Cremation Service its part of your advertising that you offer that service
doesn't mean that you have a crematory but if you look in the phone book they're all
listed under crematories and cremation services.
SMITH: And they farm out the body then.
ALLOCCO: Prior
YOUNG: Excuse me
SMITH: They farm out the bodies
YOUNG: That's correct
ALLOCCO: Prior to cremation do you remove the fillings from the cadavers' teeth?
YOUNG: I won't even go there you know better than that
ALLOCCO: No I I'm bring this point up because it's a general knowledge throughout
the industry that burning of the fillings causes a hazardous material within the air this is
another thing from Mr. Ruskin you probably familiar with that am I not you never heard
that before? I asked a question have you heard about that
YOUNG: And I won't even answer that question
ALLOCCO: Okay
MONIER: Thank you very much.
SMITH: I think that we covered this yes
FISCHER: I can answer that for you. Mercury's a stable compound in your teeth as
long as it is in the form of an amalgam. When you burn it mercury vapors release that's
just plain chemistry.
ALLOCCO: That's a hazardous material exactly as an expert
SMITH: But the chemicals are so minute that it wouldn't enter into the equation
MAHONEY: So once it enters the air it becomes methyl mercury that's going to
become
SMITH: Oh my God we learned that in chemistry years ago okay I think we beat
this to death I'd like to ask any one else had any more questions on this we'll take the
first the
STRINGER: I would like to
SMITH: Minor modification first
STRINGER: Actually um probably it would be best to do the conditional use because if
you don't allow the use you don't have to worry about whether or not you are going to
approve that specific site plan general you go from the more general to the more specific
the only reason they're in this order on the agenda is one was old business.
SMITH: Okay so I'll ask for the conditional use
STRINGER: Ah yeah just to read you over what you are to consider and also as far as
one direction as to what you're not to consider and that is the interpretation under this
code um interpretation of whether or not having a crematorium on the site would be an
accessory use while the planning director had the option to go to the Planning
Commission for advisory opinion the following interpretation of that is up to the Growth
Director any appeals from that if someone disagrees that this is an accessory use to the
funeral home appeals of that could be made to the City Council sitting as the Board of
Adjustment that's where really the decision of whether or not it is an accessory use is not
within your jurisdiction within your jurisdiction you have six criteria to look at which is on
6 -1 of your LDC if you want to read it but one is that the design located and proposed to
be operated so thus the operation type thing comes into play so that the public health
safety and welfare will be protected. Number 2 that it does not present an unduly
adverse impact upon other properties in the impacted area in which it is located you're
also supposed to find it based on the skill intensity and operation of the use it shall not
generate unreasonable noise traffic congestion or the potential nuisances or hazards to
contiguous residential properties. Ah your fourth finding is that it conforms to all
applicable provisions of the district in which the use is to be located um that would be
more along the lines of site specific things ah as I said the interpretation that it is an
accessory use has been made um you have to find it satisfies specific criteria which are
not really in here there's specific criteria for funeral homes which have already been met
so there number 5 is not applicable. The following is it consistent with the Code of
Ordinances and the Comprehensive Plan so those are the things that you're actually
supposed to be able to say we find all those are present or if you vote no you have to
say what you find is not.
SMITH: Then I can ask for a motion on the conditional use permit first, Mr.
Stringer?
STRINGER: Yes.
SMITH: Okay, I'd like a motion on the conditional use permit first anyone make a
motion.
ALLOCCO: Mr. Chairman I'd like to make a motion we disapprove the application of
the conditional use based on items one and two as read by Attorney Stringer mainly
doing with the health and safety and adverse activity upon the neighborhood.
SMITH: Okay you make a motion not to accept it anyone want to second that.
FAILLE: I didn't hear the motion could you repeat it please.
ALLOCCO: Yes I make a motion we disapprove issue of the special based on items 1
and 2 dealing with public safety and adverse conditions.
FAILLE: Okay thank you
SMITH: Do we have a second?
FAILLE: I'II second.
SMITH: Okay call for the vote Susan
LORUSSO: Okay, Mr. Faille (yes), Chmn Smith (no), Mr. Blessing (no), Mr. Allocco
(yes), Mr. Mahoney (no), Ms. Monier (no) okay the vote is one, two, three, four no two
yes motion to deny fails.
SMITH: Okay can I have a motion on the conditional use permit?
MONIER: I'II make a motion we approve the conditional use for Seawinds
BLESSING: Second
LORUSSO: Mr. Blessing second
SMITH: Mr. Blessing second call for the vote.
LORUSSO: Mr. Faille (yes), Mr. Mahoney (yes), Mr. Blessing (yes), Ms. Monier (yes),
Mr. Allocco (no), Chmn Smith (yes). Motion passes 5 to 1.
SMITH: Okay the second one will be on the site plan is that correct, minor
modification can I have a motion for that please.
BLESSING: Mr. Chairman I move to approve the application from Seawinds Real
Estate Company to add a 480 square foot crematory to their property at 735 Fleming
Street, Sebastian subject to the following conditions that a landscape screen namely a
Type A opaque screen as described in the Land Development Code under Section 54.3-
14.16 be extended to 40 feet on the east side of the crematory building and to 40 feet on
the north side of the crematory building. That a Type B screen will be added so as to
extend the landscape screen an additional 15 feet on both the east and north sides of
the property thus the overall screens on the east and north sides will be 55 feet. That the
garage door shall face south and be screened. That the powered exhaust fan shall vent
to the north and I've got thoughts on this and that ah the operating hours be restricted to
five and a half days per week. Do we have to name the hours there?
MAHONEY: Did we get into that?
STRINGER: All right ah actually if you want anything like that what you have to do is
move to reconsider on the conditional use because it was passed without conditions.
SMITH: Oh okay okay
STRINGER: You can add conditions on the conditional use as you can on the site plan
but I think if you want to have hours of operation or something like that all you gotta do is
move to reconsider the approval on the conditional use and add that.
BLESSING: Well I'll leave that that's my motion.
SMITH: You got that?
LORUSSO: Got it.
SMITH: Anyone second you want to read the motion so we all understand it.
MONIER: The hours are not included.
LORUSSO: The hours are not included. What is included is the Type A opaque buffer
40 feet on the east and 40 on the north with a Type B additional going for an additional
15 feet east and north the garage doors are to facing south and be screened and the
exhaust fan to vent north. Those are the conditions.
MAHONEY: I'll second for discussion. You're talking about screening the door?
BLESSING: Yes.
MAHONEY: How do you accomplish that?
BLESSING: Sliding screen. They need air from what I can gather that crematory
really consumes air and they have to have vents on all sides of the property but the
powered vent should be going facing north because it really sucks in air.
MAHONEY: You're referring to the revised site plan.
BLESSING: Yes.
MAHONEY: Okay, in the northeastern corner
BLESSING: Yes.
MAHONEY: Well I seconded it for discussion. The problem I have is with this
accessory use is the permitted use I shouldn't be talking about this now but it seems like
its just its sort of like humpty dumpty a word is whatever I say it is no more no less
because this is like a wide open provision accessory use permitting it could be a lot of
things that aren't in the code this seems too open for me. I know I shouldn't be bringing it
up now but that's a problem I have in accessory uses.
STRINGER: It's those guys that were on the planning commission when they
approved the LDC changes it is defined (unintelligible) um it says uses clearly incidental
to the principle purpose ah that is subordinate in the area extent and purpose to the
principle use and you talk about pretty wide open and that contributes to the comfort
convenience or necessity of the principle use and located on the same lot so you know
when you consider that as being the definition of accessory use Tracy's probably not too
out in left field with his interpretation um I think it could be argued that it does help the
convenience of the funeral home to have a crematorium on the site.
MAHONEY: But it's not consequential to it
STRINGER: Yeah, it's wild
MAHONEY: Yeah, that's the problem I have with it
STRINGER: Actually there is a second to the motion
SMITH: Right there is a second
STRINGER: Ah under strict procedure we've always had this backwards in Sebastian
don't ask me why but usually after the second then you have discussion among
yourselves and the only most of the boards around here think once there is a second
they can't discuss it anymore in truth after the second you can discuss it with what it
prohibits while there's a standing motion with no more input other than if there is a
specific question from you guys to either us or somebody else.
MAHONEY: Right that's why I seconded it for discussion.
STRINGER: I knew you knew that.
SMITH: Well anyone want to discuss it.
MAHONEY: Well if we could incorporate the proper safeguards I think Dr. Fischer is
worried more about sight lines when he puts his apartments in than anything else people
might be viewing this or just aware of its presence on the property but since the code
says its an accessory use to Seawinds Funeral Home which is already there which is not
supposedly dissatisfying I can't see how putting in a crematorium of this small size would
cause so much discomfort unless there's some religious you know. Yes Dr. Fischer
FISCHER: We're under public discussion yet we didn't close the public hearing did
we?
MAHONEY: I don't think we did no
FISCHER: Okay under discussion ah the engineer offered you a 20 foot more foot
setback and a wall would be a positive and another positive when you go back to the
comprehensive part with the two ah restrict the hours on the weekends to after 8 o'clock
if he needs weekend hours so the Elks are having a picnic in the afternoon he should be
restricted on the hours of operation till later in the day Sunday say like after 7 or 8
o'clock. Thank you.
SMITH: Okay, I don't think that's applicable is it Mr. Stringer.
STRINGER: (Unintelligible) I didn't hear it
BLESSING: We can re -open the conditional use.
SMITH: I know but I don't want to go through that again.
YOUNG: I guess my concern would be how about if I'm having a funeral on a
Saturday and the Elks are over having a barbeque. I mean what's the difference.
SMITH: Okay
MAHONEY: The transporter vehicles are still there and you know they've been going
on.
SMITH: I think I better close this public hearing.
STRINGER: Then we need to restate the motion.
SMITH: Okay. I'm going to close the public hearing now so everyone who spoke
is finished. Okay restate the motion.
BLESSING: You want Sue to do it?
LORUSSO: Both of them or just the site plan.
STRINGER: Oh he can just say I remake my motion at this time.
BLESSING: I remake my motion.
LORUSSO: What I'm saying both motions the conditional use and the site plan or just
the site plan, just the site plan okay
STRINGER: If they're clear on what the motion is you don't actually have to read it just
the maker needs to say that he remakes his motion because we really weren't supposed
to be taking a motion in public hearing.
SMITH: Bill you want to add anything.
MAHONEY: Well I like what Randy said but he's not here anymore. Could we incorp
would you be amenable to incorporating what Randy suggested to removing two more
parking spaces and putting in more buffer I forgot how he phrased it.
BLESSING: Um actually if we could move it forward 20 feet is that what it was and ah
still put the buffering landscaping in and he even offered a wall I believe that's an either
or choice.
MAHONEY: It depends on what Mr. Young is agreeable to.
MR. YOUNG: Was he speaking for Mr. Fischer or for myself.
BLESSING: No he was just speaking general.
MR. YOUNG: As far as I'm concerned the site plan that we've turned in as long as we're
not interested in making any changes unless it to the buffer as far as the landscaping he
was talking for Dr. Fischer not for me.
SMITH: We have a motion and we have a second
LORUSSO: Yes and the public hearing is closed now no no it's closed now we can't
any more public input
FISCHER: Mr. Young just made some input and I would like to say it's detrimental to
my property and by setting it back 20 feet further to the west and putting a wall up and
buffering as your doing is a further positive part of a negative impact.
SMITH: Where are Sue.
BLESSING: I repeat my motion.
LORUSSO: Thank you Mr. Blessing.
MONIER: That motion is to contain the buffering right the landscaping.
LORUSSO: That motion contains the Type A landscaping 40 feet going east and
north then Type B going east and north for 15 feet
BLESSING: Additional feet
LORUSSO: Additional feet yes. It contains the garage door to face south and have
screening. The exhaust fan to vent to the north.
SMITH: Okay all right
FAILLE: There's no restrictive hours of operation.
LORUSSO: no
BLESSING: No that's ah Rich said we had to we'd have to reopen the conditional use
hearing again if we wanted to do that.
MONIER: Okay I will second that.
LORUSSO: Well that motion had been seconded by Mr. Mahoney did you want to re-
second.
MAHONEY: We renewed it I'm waiting for another second
MONIER: I'II second as a final.
LORUSSO: Okay thank you.
SMITH: Okay want to call for the vote then.
LORUSSO: Okay, Mr. Faille (yes), Ms. Monier (yes), Chmn Smith (yes), Mr. Mahoney
(yes), Mr. Blessing (yes), Mr. Allocco (no). Motion passes 5 1.
SMITH: Okay do you want to reopen for the we're done with that okay all right
chairman matters, Tracy I have only one thing I brought to Sue's attention that the notice
in the paper on Sunday had the meeting time as 6:00 p.m. and it may through people off
on these government meetings at 6:00 p.m. instead of 7:00 p.m.'would you just make
sure they do the right thing in the newspaper.
LORUSSO: May I answer that?
MAHONEY: They printed a retraction.
SMITH: Did they.
LORUSSO: Yes, Mr. Smith I did contact Jeannette at the city clerk's office she called
the newspaper and as Mr. Mahoney said yes they did print a retraction and did correct
that.
SMITH: Good I just wanted to bring it to your attention. Okay thank you very
much. Members matters anyone have anything.
BLESSING: Have we heard anything about Sebastian Retail? That place is as clean
as a whistle nobody's doing beans up there.
SMITH: That's for sure.
HASS: The building department contacted them and issued the permit the
applicant picked up the permit last week and the materials will be in and construction will
start Monday.
SMITH: Great we'll be watching.
HASS: So will we.
SMITH: Okay, director's matters.
HASS: I have nothing.
SMITH: Okay
MAHONEY: Oh wait we didn't go
SMITH: Mr. Stringer you have anything?
STRINGER: We have one thing that that I guess we're going to need to bring to you
but it will be quite simplistic which is the ah house numbers on buildings um code
enforcement wanted that changed because right now they have 30 days once our officer
gives them notice that they don't have the proper building numbers on their house and
they don't know if that originated back when people had to go out and cut down the trees
and build the house numbers themselves but with the implementation of Wal -Mart and
such they figure that 7 days is plenty of time to go down there and buy house numbers
and stick them on your wall. Ah looking at that though I don't know why the heck that's
in the land development code you know since land development involves the
development use of and if your argument is that the house is on land then what isn't
land development ah that's really a public safety issue so what I would bring to you is
just to delete that section out of the land development code and what we'll do is at the
time we take an ordinance to city council we'll delete it there and move it over as
amended into the regular code of ordinances.
SMITH: Okay, all right.
STRINGER: If you get something just deleting it out in your packet don't think that it's
going away we're just really moving it.
SMITH: Okay.
STRINGER: Though we have done that once accidentally we're going to fix that.
SMITH: Okay. Like to adjourn.
MAHONEY: Whoa
SMITH: Any comments
MAHONEY: I have several comments on the (unintelligible) down there at Jackson
Street where they put all that asphalt in people are a little upset about that you know
STRINGER: What project was it where everybody came in screaming about the ah
that there was no landscaping and they weren't even done with the asphalt yet and its
really not a good idea for the plants to have them there when you lay down hot asphalt
ah
HASS: We're still working on some striping issues and the traffic control as far as
installation of stop signs and ah some traffic control through that corridor to the street
way itself that's obviously not quite completed yet and it will be vastly improved I know
right now it's just a big asphalt forest you know eventually or an asphalt sea whatever
you want to call it eventually there'll be stripping and landscaping and the traffic controls
it will turn out quite nice.
MAHONEY: Yeah well they've paved ah they put asphalt on the sidewalk towards the
end of the city proper and I thought that was they were going to extend the sidewalk but
it looks like they are just making parking. I remember I asked that one time and you said
yeah they're going to extend the sidewalk once they get done and I think the chairman
said it was on the site plan not our chairman the former chairman but this asphalt they
just went and paved it like they were going to stripe that and make that parking instead
of a sidewalk.
HASS: Which area are you referring to?
MAHONEY: On the east side
SMITH: On the river side
MAHONEY: The sidewalk stops when it gets to Captain Butcher's about four years
ago they said they didn't want to put anything there because they wanted to get trailer
trucks to park there guys would pull up with hand trucks and wouldn't be hit by traffic so
and then you said well they're going to extend the sidewalk.
HASS: Right and as far as the stripping and the delineation of the sidewalk now
its asphalt because the sidewalk is going to be extended to about the median of the
street where the big oak tree or the big palm trees are they have their sign that's just a
little bit further north on the north side of the street the sidewalk is going to meet at that
area
MAHONEY: It's going to be on the east side.
HASS: On the east side so it will extend from the existing terminus north to about
where the building is and then it will cross the street there'll be ah
MAHONEY: Oh it's not going to go beyond the building it's just going to go to the
building I mean
HASS: It's not going to go all the way north to the end of the property
SMITH: Oh across the street
HASS: Across the street and then it'll
SMITH: Then go north
MAHONEY: Oh its just going to go far enough so people can cross the street without
going diagonal.
HASS: That's correct the street will be delineated we'll have a crosswalk just like
the other ones that are stamped concrete and look like the pavers we'll be doing that
MAHONEY: Have there been any applications for stop signs on Indian River Drive for
Captain Hiram's there or Hurricane Harbor.
HASS: No
MAHONEY: Well you don't expect them
HASS: Well the sign shop is working with the engineering department in installing
the signs and crosswalk markings.
SMITH: Anyone else got anything. Yes Mr. Faille
FAILLE: I don't know whether it's my fault or the public address system's fault or
what but I don't need a microphone as you can tell but I am finding it exceedingly difficult
to hear everybody. Some people I can hear and some people I can't and it's not your
fault I'm the guy that's got the affliction is this thing working like its supposed to?
LORUSSO: I go around and
STRINGER: Well we did have I'll ask if its still around we did used to have headsets
for Mayor Wenenger because she really couldn't hear anything up there um so she had
a headset so she could hear.
MAHONEY: Yes I remember

SMITH: You got anything, Andy you got anything.
ALLOCCO: He might try changing his seat though it might be different than in the

FAILLE: The what?
SMITH: A different seat maybe the mike will work better there
FAILLE: the majority of the talking is down here on this end the farther I am from

U. S. Cremation Equipment's Model US 300 PS Processing Station creates a safe work
environment through a filtration system that recovers dust when transferring cremated
remains from the cremator into the Processor and the processed cremated remains into a
temporary container or permanent memorial urn.
A stainless steel sorter tray allows for easy separation of ferrous metals from the
cremated remains before depositing in the stainless steel processor drum. The drum is
equipped with stainless steel blades driven by a 1 '/2 Hp motor. The drum lid provides a
dust free seal and the entire reduction process takes less than 30 seconds. An exhaust
system captures any air borne dust in easily replaced standard sized filters.

INDIAN RIVER STATE COLLEGE
January 4, 2010
To whom it may concern;
This letter is in support of the retail plant nursery "About Florida Native Plants" owned by Steven
Philipson and located at 25 West Airport Drive in Sebastian, Florida.
I am very pleased that the treasure coast area will be gaining another native plant nursery. There are so
few and the need is great. I have been a horticulture instructor at Indian River State College for the past
19 years. One of the courses I teach deals with the identification and use of Florida native plants. I know
firsthand how difficult it is purchase Florida native plants. I believe that native Florida plants play a vital
role in Florida landscapes. Florida native plants are usually better adapted to Florida condition and can
therefore reduce the need for pesticides or irrigation water.
I am also pleased to learn that Donna Adamski will be managing the "About Florida Native Plants"
nursery. Donna is a graduate of my program and a very capable individual.
Sincerely,
Ann McMullian, Ph.D.
