US Highway 1 /Gateways Schulke has provided a preliminary cost estimate of improvements
along US 1 that would visually enhance the parking that is available. Approximately 100
parking spaces exist on US 1 between CR 512 eastbound and where North Central intersects
north of Captain Hiram's. Enhancements include stamped feature similar to the crosswalks on
Indian River Drive, and a reduction of the "no parking" signs which were intended to keep
driveways from being blocked. The landscaping "bumpouts" are slated for freshening up the
1
landscaping material. Then the next step will be to ask FDOT to lower the speed limit in this
corridor.

RE: WORKING WATERFR MODIFICATION
DATE: Wednesday, December 22, 2010
Over the course of the last several weeks significant investigation and consideration has been
dedicated toward renovation ramifications at 1540 Indian River Drive (Hurricane Harbor). The
office of the City Manager and Fisherman's Landing Sebastian (FLS) have come to the
conclusion that the most efficient, economical way to rehabilitate the facility is for the
rehabilitation process to be managed by FLS.
To date, the City has gotten the renovation process started by conducting pest remediation,
superficial landscape cleaning and removing interior items /appliances. These activities have
readied the facility for more substantial renovation. It is these renovations that the City
recommends be completed by FLS. Such renovations include (1) air conditioner; (2) roof; (3)
interior /exterior painting; (4) electrical and restroom modifications (ADA accessibility
interior /exterior entry). The reason for shifting the renovation to FLS is three -fold. First, it allows
the City's allocated funds to go further by reducing the need to contract services; thus reducing
personnel costs. Second, FLS has a specific interior /exterior, Florida vernacular plan for
rehabilitation and they are the best organization to execute the remodeling vision. Third, FLS will
be able to expedite and open the facility quicker.
At this time, FLS has begun lease negotiation to open a fish market and kitchen operations in the
facility. Upon completion of renovation activities, the Hurricane Harbor building will host three
operations (1) Fish Market; (2) No- Waiting Service Eatery; and, (3) demonstration /assembly
area.
FLS would like to be sustainably complete with these renovations and open by April 2011.
To bring this operation plan into action, permits must be issued by the Sebastian Building and
Growth Management Departments. The City will be responsible for the cost of professional
services associated with permitting. Specifically, a building permit is required for remodeling
permits and a floor plan review is required by Growth Management. Because these activities are
only minor use modifications, staff has the authority to review /approve the plan submittals. In
addition to these permits, Indian River County Fire and Health Department inspections will also
be required.
Finally, to move the aforementioned action plan forward, a lease modification and additional
funding allocation is required. Currently, there exists a lease between the City and FLS. In
paragraph eight of the lease, the renovation plans are described for the actual working waterfront
and Hurricane Harbor facility. However, the current lease stipulates that the City will conduct the
remodeling efforts. In order to execute the plan as outlined in this report, paragraph eight of the
lease must be modified to allow FLS to make said repairs. Additionally, to cover the cost for
renovations and to cap expenditures for the City, the lease modification states that the City will
pay up to $250,000 for renovation expenses. This action requests that the CRA Board /City
Council increase the FY 2011 Working Waterfront Budget by $50,000.
With regard toward the actual working waterfront, staff anticipates the delivery of a site plan and
review shortly. FLS is required by the current lease to finance and make these improvements.
The Committee reviews this draft site plan at the last meeting.
In closing, the meeting scheduled for Wednesday, December 29, 2010 will address these issues.
Staff will also be seeking that the Committee recommend approval of this action plan to City
Council /CRA Board at their special meeting scheduled for Wednesday, January 5, 2011
