11.014 A. Economic Development Presentation Beth Mitchell, Executive Director,
5 Sebastian River Area Chamber of Commerce and Joe Griffin, City of Sebastian
Economic Development Director (City Manaqer Transmittal)
6:54 pm
7:10 pm
Brief Announcements
Ms. Coy thanked everyone involved in the Fine Art and Music Festival which was a
spectacular event with superior arts and crafts. Mayor Hill congratulated them on their
10 year.
Beth Mitchell, Executive Director, presented a PowerPoint presentation going over the
Chamber's activities for the last year. (see attached) She described a new committee
formed, which includes Vice Mayor Wright, called the North County Business
Development Committee to help support existing businesses, attract new businesses
and streamline the regulatory process.
Mr. Wolff asked, with the Chamber's increased foot traffic, what measures they have
translated to members' businesses. Ms. Mitchell said they identify what visitors are
looking for and direct them where they need to be.
Mr. Wolff cited since 2005, there has been an addition of 25,000 square feet of light
industrial capacity and he asked if that has translated into jobs. Ms. Mitchell said in
2005 it was 286,000 square feet and in 2010 it was 11,311 square feet and she was
trying to demonstrate industrial development has greatly decreased.
Mr. Wolff asked about the Workforce Solutions Bus. Ms. Mitchell described the manned,
computer lined bus that is available for people who have applied to Workforce Solutions
to use on a regular basis and is parked in Riverview Park every Friday.
Mr. Wolff asked how we are attracting people who travel through our area on the lagoon.
Ms. Mitchell said they have been promoting actively on water based websites for
boaters, and marine related websites.
Mayor Hill thanked Ms. Mitchell, said it looks like we are starting to trend in the right
direction and he looked forward to the potential of advertising on www.aero news.net.
Joe Griffin, Airport Director, and Economic Development Director, gave a PowerPoint
presentation on the City's economic development efforts. (see attached)
Mr. Wright said when we look at shovel ready areas on the east side of the Airport, with
buildings going in, he asked how much more room there is. The Airport Director said on
the east side, aviation specific with runway access has approximately another 25,000
square feet, and southeast of that another 35,000 square feet without runway access.
Mayor Hill asked if the LDC review will coincide with the North County Business
Development Committee review. The Airport Director said P Z has scheduled a
review of the LDC. Mayor Hill suggested the Chamber's committee should know about
the LDC revisions. Ms. Mitchell said that is a good suggestion, their goal is business
development and they planned to identify 10 problem areas for businesses. Mayor Hill
said he assumed the overlay and CR512 would be of interest to the business community
and suggested they work together.

Regular City Council Meeting

Mr. Wright said there maybe a little difference in the focus, the Committee will focus on
things that have caused them problems in terms of permitting, building situations; which
may overlap in code review but the purpose is to find 10 onerous things they have to
overcome everyday.
Ms. Mitchell said she will reach out to the City Manager and get recommendations to P
Z or Council, saying not only will it work to bring in business but also include expansion
which is as important to the business community.
Mr. Wolff said it would be nice to know about it and they have to take into account the
Construction Board review as well.
The City Manager said overall coordination isn't an issue because LDC changes must
go before P Z; the Chamber can bring issues at any time and the sooner the better;
the LDC is a giant and they wouldn't see changes overnight. The City Manager said he
thought it might be best for the City to stay out of the Chamber's process.
Mr. Wolff gave a snapshot of the industry noting the government has put two state jets
up for sale; and at the Cape government has put up "for rent" signs, curtailed operations
and are looking for companies to come use the facilities; Piper pulled out of a marketing
deal with the light sport aircraft Czech manufacturer; but it does appear Melbourne
Airport is doing something right since they just inked an agreement with a Brazilian
company that will bring jobs to the area. He asked the Director how he sees the industry
snapshot.
The Airport Director said the Brazilian company, Embraer, is going to assemble biz jets
which will take the pressure off some of the folks that will lose their jobs at the Cape.
Mr. Wolff said it would be great to talk to Embraer management and have them fly in and
out of Sebastian. The Airport Director said the runway length has to be 5,500 feet and
ours is 4,000 so we are restricted there.
The Airport Director said he realized Sebastian's Airport didn't have its own marketing
brand where they fit in the marketplace, so they came up with "Florida's Boutique
Airport" small, specialized, and unique.
11.015 B. Goals and Accomplishments City Manager (City Manager Transmittal)
7
7.30 -8:13 pm The City Manager gave a PowerPoint presentation on accomplishments and goals and
sought Council's input for future goals. (see attached)
Ms. Coy said we need to sit down with the School Board to see if they can share some
facilities in the interim until we build a new community center. Mayor Hill said the School
Board's Chairman has indicated they want to meet informally and he asked the City
Clerk to set up a meeting in Council Chambers. Mr. Wolff suggested they should come
prepared to answer questions and guide them in regard to liability issues.
Mr. Wright said there are sea wall issues with Schumann Lake and Collier Creek that will
be coming up eventually; he would like a technology committee set up to provide
reviews on our computers, telephone systems to make sure we don't get out of date and
get hit with huge expenditures to update technology. Ms. Coy asked him to be more
specific.

Regular City Council Meeting
January 26, 2011

Mr. Wright said we have older phone and computer systems, noting if we have a
breakdown we could be talking about a substantial amount of money.
Mr. Wolff said maybe there should be some insurance we could take out because your
computer is always in danger, anyone can come along and say we don't have the latest,
it would be an open checkbook and he asked what he envisioned. Mr. Wright said he is
not an expert but if wait too long it is major funding for an overhaul. Ms. Coy asked if
that wasn't what MIS should be doing, noting we have experts on staff.
Mayor Hill suggested the City Manager provide a quarterly report of where we stand to
make sure we are on top of these things.
Mr. Wright asked that they go back to the Chamber presentation, noting there was a
request for funding; we have the Airport facility where there is the most potential for job
growth, and we should be promoting it. He said the Chamber has obtained $5,000 and
they need $10,000 to advertise Sebastian on the aeronautical websites. Mayor Hill said
it would be more appropriate to bring this back as an agenda item as they are in the
presentation section of the agenda and this is not an actionable item.
Mr. Wright said spending that amount would be in the City Manager's authority. Mayor
Hill said the City Manager could make that decision but would like direction from Council
before he does. Mr. Wolff asked if there was any backup to look at. Mayor Hill
suggested bringing it back as an actionable item with public input. There was no
objection from the other Members.
Mr. Wolff said it was a very thorough presentation, the City Manager has done a fine job,
it's not easy with a lot of tugging in all direction, but the toughest issue is personnel
because it is such a large part of the budget, they don't spend much time discussing it,
and it is going to be tough going forward at the same level they enjoy, but it will beg for
more serious discussion.
The City Manager said he did have trepidation about early budget preparation and Mr.
Wolff plucked the chord, we do as well as we can, but at the end of the day, it comes
down to balancing the budget and what we do with personnel. He said it is one of the
down sides to working for the public, we chose to work here, but that is not the case for
others, they sit there and wonder from now to October what is going to happen with their
job; he has plans and knows where he can nip and tuck and it will affect people.
Mr. Wolff said another area is the Golf Course, that it would be nice if we can bring out
an event to shine the spotlight on the facility and showcase it the best that we can.
Ms. Coy said the quarter round project has significantly changed since the last time it
was published, north Easy Street, and along CR512 was redug and it was promised for
quarter round but now it's not coming. The City Manager said it got shifted, he has a
map in his office that estimates it would take 30 years to get throughout the community,
he has tried to shift monies, work back at the outfalls, work where there are maximum
problems, Easy Street, hear other complaints that have been louder, and that's where
the money was shifted.

Regular City Council Meeting

Mr. Wolff said he spent time with the City Manager looking at the map and the City
Manager should describe what he saw during Tropical Storm Fay and his plans to
address the critical areas. The City Manager said Fay happened before South Easy
quarter round, then they identified crossings in the Clearbrook area that have opened up
along with additional problematic areas.
The City Manager said they have so many drainage problems that it is tough to manage.
Ms. Coy said she "got it" but when it's on the plan and then you shift the plan, it is very
difficult for Council when they have placated people by saying an area is next. Ms. Coy
said she will come in and talk to the City Manager. Mayor Hill said he has done the
same thing in telling people their street is on the list.
The City Manager offered to bring the map to the public at the next meeting, and show
how staff is trying to prioritize it.
Mr. Wolff said this discussion affects residents' quality of life, he asked what if we added
a dollar to the storm water fee, saying it's a money issue. He said when the City
Manager comes back with the map he may come back prepared to say what does 50
cents do or a dollar.
Ms. Coy said there are people that have postponed driveways waiting for the quarter
round so there are money issues for them.
Mayor Hill said he is pleased with the City Manager's performance, and that he and
employees have accomplished a lot. He said the cost of maintenance is critical going
forward with the CIP projects with less employees; he has started to receive a complaint
here and there. He asked if the Airport Park is being utilized.
The Airport Director responded it is being utilized a lot.
Mayor Hill cited four City websites: retirement, economic develop, CRA, and City
website noting he visited them and noticed the Main Street project is still on the CRA
website. The City Manager said he is working on updating the CRA website.
Mayor Hill said there are four websites being managed by different people, and it should
be just as easy to have one person maintain them on a regular basis; and asked the City
Manager to focus on that.
The City Manager asked Council if they wanted to see the goals come back in the form
of a resolution. Mayor Hill said he believed goals are constantly changing, requested his
presentation be e- mailed to him, noting in a couple of weeks something could come up
that changes Council's goals and objectives. He said he preferred going forward
knowing this is where we are today. Ms. Coy asked him to include the School Board
meeting. Mr. Wright said they reserve the right to reprioritize but they are moving in the
right direction as a City.
7. CONSENT AGENDA
All items on the consent agenda are considered routine and will be enacted by one motion. There will be no
separate discussion of consent agenda items unless a member City Council so requests; in which event, the
item will be removed and acted upon separately. If a member of the public wishes to provide input on a
consent agenda item, he /she should request a Council Member to remove the item for discussion prior to
start of the meeting or by raising his/her hand to be recognized.

11. PUBLIC INPUT
Will Davis said he and his wife are opening a new business, including e- commerce,
called Sebastian Ammo that will benefit the community by bringing in money, add staff,
and provide competitive pricing. He said they have had issues with the Building and Fire
Departments relating to code, and suggested streamlining the process and start a
mentoring program to help people through the process.
Mayor Hill welcomed him to the community. Mr. Wright asked for the business' location.
Mr. Davis said it is on the eastbound side of CR512.
Ms. Coy said the City does have Economic Development Director, Joe Griffin to help
businesses but there may be a need to do a better job of finding the person.
The City Manager said they have known about Mr. Davis' case since it started, and have
been helping him from the get -go, and we have done our best to weave him through the
system.
Mr. Wolff asked him if he explored the City's websites. Mr. Davis said he visits the
website frequently for information, the layout is decent but the performance of the site is
horrific. In response to Mr. Wolff, he said he did not seek the economic website.
Damien Gilliams welcomed Mr. Davis and asked why we don't have everything on one
website; said if the City could get their act together there is SBA money to help
businesses; thanked the City Manager for his presentation noting he could get more
funding if he got creative by contacting the Dept. of Corrections to clean the swales,
keep the taxes down; start a citizens academy to do the webpage; to attract businesses
look at the schools partnership with the schools with math and science like Brevard
County does or else we won't be able to compete with the global market; good idea to
put goals in writing to hold the City Manager accountable; there are empty industry
properties that the City should not be competing with -keep the Airport aviation related;
the phone system is outdated —all conversations should be recorded for quality
assurance; going to bring Hurricane Harbor and the waterfront to forefront noting there
was furniture in that building and he asked the Mayor if he could tell him where the
furniture went from Hurricane Harbor. Mayor Hill said he had 15 seconds. Mr. Gilliams
said it was despicable with what Council did with the waterfront and Kayaks Etc. except
for Mr. Wolff.
Ms. Coy called for a point of order saying she objected to Mr. Gilliams' using a business
name that was not present. Ms. Coy said at the request of the owner of Kayaks Etc., Mr.
Gilliams did not have their permission to use Kayaks Etc. name. Vice Mayor Wright
called a point of order but Mr. Gilliams time limit had expired.
Cory Taylor, 7065 Carnival Terrace, said he has met with Mr. Davis and he is impressed
with his business plan and store and what ever Council can do to get him up and running
will be great for the community.
Ben Hocker, Sebastian, said he read in the paper today we are removing part of the
buffer on Roseland Road, and asked if the 30 -40 ft high pines were indigenous. Mayor
Hill responded the Australian Pines were invasive.

Mr. Hocker thanked staff for their help and suggested merging the websites into one site.
12. NEW BUSINESS
11.021 A. Review Parking Study (City Manager Transmittal, Study Report)
93 -170
Brandon Schaad, Outlier Planning, introduced Dennis Miller, Traffic Engineer with IBI
Group and gave a PowerPoint presentation outlining the study and recommendations.
(see attached)
9:45 pm Ms. Coy said she needed a little more time to digest the study and would like color
copies of the report. She said she couldn't understand why Capt. Hiram's private
parking was thrown into the equation but after the presentation understood the overflow
would count in our parking data. Mr. Schaad said he tried to differentiate between public
and private parking but some private spots because of their location and size, he would
have been remiss to leave those spots out of the report.
Mayor Hill said the report was very telling, there have been some issues since Mulligan's
opened up and delineating the boat trailer parking will be very helpful. He asked why the
parking spots south of the Splash Pad were not used in the report. Mr. Schaad said he
understood that was reserved for boat trailer overflow from Cavcorp.
Mr. Wright pointed out during the data collection that there were "no parking" signs along
US1 that held people back from parking there; he noted improving US1 is underway; and
he was still concerned about parking along the riverfront where angled parking is
recommended. He asked if we have received funds from Mulligan's to date for the
parking improvement program.
The City Manager said he could not speak to receiving funds but they are trying to
allocate recreation and CRA funds for FY2012 to design and start construction.
Mr. Wright said there will still need to be additional passenger car parking. He
suggested putting to bed the idea of closing Sebastian Blvd between US 1 and the river
when they design the Cavcorp lot. He said he was pleased with the survey. He asked
for a separate link for the color copies. The City Manager said staff did provide links and
delineated notes where to find the color copies.
Ms. Coy said this will come up again and again and she would like her own copy to keep
for future reference.
MOTION by Ms. Coy and SECOND by Mr. Hill to extend the meeting to 10:30 passed
with a voice vote of 4 -0. (Gillmor absent)
Mr. Schaad noted the "no parking" signs on US1 were removed right before he did the
data collection.
Mr. Wolff said there should not be any surprise there is a problem near Mulligan's, the
money in the pot is a pittance and there's no money to do anything for many years; as
far as delineating crosswalks and stamping US1, he has never heard anyone say they
desperately wanted to go to "X" but couldn't go because the spaces were full, if people
want to park, they will park along US1; backing out into streets will be an important

on Cavcorp will provide more efficiency for boat trailers and cars as well. He said there
are no surprises, hopefully we can see some of these done in the next year.
The City Manager said the Mayor bought up a good point that Cavcorp overflow was
missed, and he thought there has always been a fear of what we want to do with that
property, we covet the green space. He said it's functioned as open space and we need
to look at it to see if we want to take a sliver and create regular parking, it could be done
in a way that is attractive, and he tendered it back to Council to think about.
Public Input
Damien Gilliams remarked there wasn't much time to review the report and ask Mr.
Schaad questions; he thanked Mr. Wolff for reminding them that there is no money in the
parking fund because it will be amortized; of the eleven recommendations, some are
already being done, the study could have been done in house, he has brought back -out
parking recommendations, he was not sure why the private parking spots were counted
and not the area behind the Splash Pad; he said the City is using the shopping center for
free now but may not in the future, eventually we will build a community center but
because Ms. Coy didn't want to pay him a commission fee, there is 40,000 square feet
ready to build a community center and when the building is leased out, the parking will
be a problem. Mr. Gilliams cited that the study will have to be re- evaluated in five years
for another $30,000 and they will find that they have to put meters out and tax us to
death; and said put employees to work who aren't doing anything.
Mayor Hill clarified for the public there are no recommendations to charge for parking.
Ben Hocker said during the Fine Art and Music Festival there was a pedicab on the
walkway; he asked about licensing pedicabs and the prior Mayor said it was all taken
care of. He also asked about becoming a valet company parking utilizing the public
spaces for the private businesses, which is one of the study's recommendations.
Mayor Hill asked about the pedicab business. The City Manager said they need to be
registered; the only issue is whether the pedicab can be in the festival area when the
park is closed down.
Ms. Coy said the other issue is do they go on the bike path, sidewalk or road. The City
Manager said a bicycle is not permitted on a sidewalk, a golf cart is a motorized vehicle
permitted on the street as long as it has accessories such as turn signals.
The City Manager said from a regulatory standpoint we have to permit them, the special
events could be interpreted differently because they become part of the park for that
day, if Council wants to support them there wouldn't be anything to do but if Council
wants to limit them we would need to get with the City Attorney to do it properly. Mayor
Hill said the path along US1 is a sidewalk and the law provides that bicycles must stay
on the road.
Mr. Wolff said there should be an insurance expectation if you climb aboard and have an
accident.
Mr. Wolff asked if you could use the city's property to run a valet parking business. The
City Manager said he would need to talk to Mr. Hart about that.

The City Clerk cited the incorrect speed limit for US1 in the riverfront district which is 40
mph on circle page 103, and that changes the meaning of the paragraph.
13. CITY ATTORNEY MATTERS none.
14. CITY MANAGER MATTERS
The City Manager provided an update on the FY10 street paving program, stating staff
had a meeting today with the companies that did the asphalt work, took core samples,
and the City's position is that both contractors have not performed to the standards that
were called out in the specs and we are in the position to defend that. He also said it is
fair to say that APAC believes they have no liability and Asphalt Recycling is having
difficulty admitting liability disclosure; we will do some more sampling, we have asked
APAC to provide an estimate for a cure, and to have a plan in place to move towards a
cure and fix the potholes. He offered to provide a more detailed report if needed.
15. CITY CLERK MATTERS none.
16. CITY COUNCIL MATTERS
A. Council Member Wolff none.
B. Mayor Hill none.
C. Vice Mayor Wright— none.
D. Council Member Coy
11.022 i. Update Reinvest For Success
Ms. Coy said until a week ago she had zero involvement in this issue but it came
to a hot spot last week and she thought Council needed to know about it. She
said Jan Pagano, Associate Dean, Corporate Community Training and
Entrepreneur Development Institutes, Indian River State College, came to
Council previously and asked for $20,000 to hire a business consultant, and we
declined so she recently procured a grant and requested office space in
Sebastian. She explained "Reinvest for Success" was the brainchild of newly
elected School Board Member, Jeff Pegler who has since pulled out of the
program because another non profit got involved and there will not be a grand
opening at the old school house on Friday. The City Manager confirmed that
fact. Ms. Coy said Ms. Pagano would still like to move forward with her grant
and if there is space in the old school house, it should come to Council for
discussion first.
Mayor Hill said he would expect that prior to anything going into the old school
house Council would hold discussion on what goes into that building.
Ms. Coy apologized to the Becks and Kayaks Etc. who came to her to say no
one has the authority to use their name or represent their company in any shape
or form in the public light.

Mr. Wolff said as elected officials they cannot tell someone you can't mention a
company name. Ms. Coy said as it was represented in the light of, "What the
City did to that company" and Kayaks Etc. does not believe the City did anything
to them. The Becks were worried that something was going to come before
Council in a negative light.

SUMMARY
The Sebastian River Area Chamber of Commerce (CoC) has negotiated a favorable
rate for a six -month advertising program with Aero News.net (ANN). ANN is an extremely
popular site for the aviation market. In addition to aviation news, ANN covers a broad range
of classified advertising, including resort attractions and relocation possibilities. The
strategy of the proposed program is to reach the greatest number of aviation readers that
could possibly visit our City. The CoC has financial commitments from Visit Florida and
the Indian River County Tourism Council totaling $5,000. The program in question will cost
$10,000. The CoC has requested the remaining $5,000 from City participation. The
Airport's remaining advertising budget is $2,371. In order to meet the CoC's request, an
additional $2,629 would have to be allocated from the City.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Fund $5,000 for advertising in Aero News.net in cooperation with Sebastian River
Area Chamber of Commerce.

Re: Aviation Marketing, Special Project
Dear Joe:
Enclosed please find materials and back up with regards to the Aviation Marketing Proposal
that has been pending for awhile. It is my understanding that the City Council would like
more information on this proposal and that it will be considered at the next meeting. As you
are aware, I will be unable to attend due to a commitment to attend a National Beaches and
Shores Conference in Jacksonville that same week. I am providing back up information to
you, with the hope that Council will approve the $5,000 matching funds request for this
program.
To review, through the efforts of the Chamber, we were able to obtain special funding from
both the Indian River County Tourism Council and Visit Florida totaling 5,000 to
implement a banner ad campaign on a popular aviation site, www.aero news.net, with the
intention of targeting the aviation market. We hope to target pilots that plan to visit our area
to purchase planes, service their planes, or attend lectures and seminars in our area. We want
them to know about all of the wonderful things that our area has to offer so they can utilize
their time here or plan a time to come back with friends and family.
The proposal from ANN (www.aero- news -net) is enclosed, and totals 12,300 without a
discount. However we were able to negotiate a discount, with the anticipation that the City's
matching dollars would provide a $10,000 budget for a six month program of advertising. I
have also enclosed demographics and general information about the website.
Hopefully this information will be helpful, and the Council will favorable consider this
request.
Very truly you

In our 2010 -2011 TDC Grant Application Proposed Budget, we have requested
$2,500 for a Special Project, "Aviation Marketing." Targeting the aviation market
is a new direction for us. We hope to target pilots that plan to visit our area to
purchase planes, service their planes, or attend lectures and seminars in our
area. We want them to know about all of the wonderful things that our area has
to offer so they can utilize their time here or plan a time to come back with friends
and family. Our goal is to use the funds to implement a banner ad campaign on
popular aviation sites such as www.aero news.net or
www.generalaviationnews.com.
We have applied for an Advertising Matching Grant through VISIT FLORIDA for
$2,500. In late May /early June, VISIT FLORIDA will notify applicants to let them
know whether or not they have been awarded the advertising matching grant. If
we are awarded the grant, we will have $5,000 to commit to Aviation Marketing. If
not, we will try to coordinate a co -op with Sebastian Municipal Airport or a local
aviation business to help make this project possible.

It's classic college marketing... define your target market, and present yourself to it.
Identifying your customers by their verifiable traits and qualifications is helpful. We like to be
http: /tinyurl.com /4pvhpful. Keeping in mind that all specialty- interest advertising is (due to the economic
about 16 hours ago constraints of the required polling) technically unscientific, we do know, as well, that people
@AeroNews Boeing use such unscientific data.
Still Convinced 787
Will Show A Profit Let's see if we can help identify who reads Aero -News, in categories useful to our specialty
http /tinyurl.com /48nrlOvertisers. If you're selling airplanes, do you really care, for instance, what sex your
about 16 hours ago customer is? While we all know that, statistically, very few women are pilots, we also know
they buy airplanes.
Would you like to know how many of our readers say they will be buying an aircraft within
the next 12 months?
Could you use that? We've got that (6
The readers of Aero -News are aircraft owners. Fully 54% say they own at least part of one or
more aircraft!
29 some of whom count themselves among those aircraft owners, say they are building an
aircraft. (These may be non owners, who are helping a friend build an aircraft, too!)
Aero -News readers are qualified consumers in other ways, as well: they want their news now;
not in a few days, or even a few months.
Fully 70% of our readers say they read us, "every day."
(Beyond that, we have another 8% who say they read Aero -News more than once a day!)
Aero -News readers, by definition, are computer users. From that we can make an educated
guess, and assign them (mostly) to the higher family income groups. (Among computer
users, Aero -News readers are also, obviously, internet users. Knowing this further defines
their income and education demographics.)
Aero -News readers are doers, too. Nearly one out of eight (12 say they will be building an
aircraft within a year.
Aero -News readers could be a bunch of little kids, of course. Everybody knows kids get on the
internet all the time; and everybody knows kids don't buy airplanes. That's why we ask our
readers how old they are. They're adults (virtually none are under 18); but very few are
retired (just 8 They're grown -up income earners, in other words.
So, Aero -News has an adult, educated, high- income, well- informed group of aviation junkies
for an audience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hey, Who are you guys?
ANN is, first and foremost, the work of some dedicated folks who have put their hearts (and
souls) into promoting and protecting the aviation community. Born out of the blood, sweat,
hrantml'tears of many hard years of aviation journalism, ANN was designed to take the vital and
much needed next step in the evolution of information sharing about and within the
aerospace world.
ANN is the brainchild of US Aviator magazine Publisher and Aviation Safety Advocate Jim
rlkampbell, whose brave efforts to bring constructive and honest information to the aviation
industry are well- known —for all kinds of reasons. The aviation industry often seems to bury
its head in the sand when it comes to the threats and dangers that threaten to destroy the
people, programs and products that populate it. For some 12 years, Campbell and his valiant
little magazine told the world of aviation what no one else dared to... namely that there were
products and manufacturers out there who did not tell the truth or were actually dangerous,
and that many of the entities that we had learned to trust as Aviators, especially the FAA,
simply could not be trusted. That proud little magazine fought many battles, and in fact,
never actually lost a single fight (but, boy... did it get its nose bloodied a few times...). But, it
paid a helluva cost.
Yes, it was a great fight... but a flawed one. The new reality of near instant information and
the critical nature of the data that Campbell and his partners could provide, demanded
something better and more immediate in order that their work have the greatest impact.
Campbell's burgeoning realization indicated that it was getting rather fruitless to kill new
trees with old news, and it was time for those speedy little electrons to do their stuff.
Hence, ANN.
Together; with some of the best folks he's ever worked with (especially Senior Editor Pete
Combs and Weekend Editor Juan Jimenez), ANN is blazing a NEW trail and doing what this
aero- business has never seen before.
ANN means Real -Time Aviation News, valuable columns, features and event coverage,
weather, classifieds, aero- marketing resources, discussion boards... and much, much more.
There are no shrinking violets here... we've all had our noses bloodied, we've had our faces
rubbed in the mud for trying to do the right thing (and not always succeeding), we've gotten
pummeled for sticking up for people who may not have been able to stick up for themselves
and we've had to face down folks who have broken every rule in the book, moral, ethical, and
legal, to keep us from trying to protect our brethren. We've learned a lot the hard way... and
not a single one of us have ever backed down, no matter how tough the risks we faced. We
are not bashful, we are not shy, and we promise you that the courage and bravery we see all
around us in those who fight for their love of aviation and the safety of their fellow Aviators,
will not be lost upon us, but will guide us in everything we do.
So... who are we?
We are the Aero -News Network: An Online Daily Aviation Aerospace News Resource. We have
a strong commitment to safety, consumer activism, Aero- education, and Aero- entertainment
(let's face it, the main reason most of us come to aviation is because it is a lot of fun and we
dare not forget that no matter how serious the subject matter may be). ANN will be, at first,
what we make it, but ultimately it will be what YOU make it. We implore you all to demand
the very best of us, to offer your suggestions, questions, criticism, and News -Spy Tips... and
1/28/201
to participate fully in every aspect of ANN's growth and posture. We ask you to be highly
critical of us, and to take your time to point out what we're doing wrong or not doing at all,
and what you think we need to be addressing. So... that in the long run, when people ask who
those ANN guys are; that, in addition to folks like Jim Campbell, Paul Plack and many other
talented fly- writers and photographers, that YOUR names, wishes and concerns will be a big
part of it as well.
How do I find an older news story?
Simple. Use the SEARCH button. You can search by date, subject, words, keywords, topics,
you name it.
I just saw something about aviation on the news... how do I make sure you have the story?
Send email RIGHT NOW to news spy @aero news.net or click the SEND A NEWS TIP button
on the left side of the ANN MasterPage Frame and tell us as much as you can so that we can
track the story down in case we're not already on it.
What else do you have at ANN besides News?
A lot. We have Pilot reports, classified ads, feature stories, surveys, discussion forums,
weather, databases, flight test reports, Aero- Consumer Advisories, and LOTS more.
How do I advertise?
Send an e-mail to publisher @aero news.net or click HERE for more information... we'll do
the rest. We make marketing on ANN easy... and affordable!
Who pays for Aero News?
Mostly our sponsors (some really cool folks honest!), though you can help support ANN by
using our deluxe paid classified services (the basic services are still FREE, though), buying
merchandise through our store, and making sure that aviation business throughout the world
know that YOU trust the Aero -News Network and ANN's marketing partners.
How do I comment on a particular story?
Just click on the comment button at the end of many stories and or click on the Letters to
the Editor button (on the left side of the screen under the "News" heading) have at it. We
want to hear what YOU think... so does the rest of ANN!
How do I get my E Vent listed in your Event Calendar?
Click on the E -Vent button on the left side of the ANN MasterPage frame and follow the
directions!
How can I write for ANN?
Be advised we ascribe to some very high standards for our publications and expect you to do
the same. At the same time, we welcome EVERYONE to take a shot at working with us; and
we are willing to put in serious effort into developing new talent for the benefit of future ANN
readers. If you have a story idea you wish to submit, contact publisher @aero news.net
How do I register to use ALL of ANN's services?
Oh good, an EASY question. Just click "My Account" on the left side of the ANN MasterPage
Frame and we'll set you right up.
Why should I register, anyway?
Because we asked you nicely... isn't that enough? Let me explain: we need lots of information
to keep finessing ANN into a service that caters more and more to your needs. YOUR
registration and information (which we keep private) help us do that. The more you tell us,
the more you work with us, the more we can do for YOU. REALLY.
So, go register... OK?
Where can I buy ANN merchandize?
So glad you asked... Just click on the Aero -Shop Online button on the left side of the ANN
MasterPage frame and we'll set you right up.
Can I reprint ANN articles in on my web site or elsewhere?
First off... THANK YOU for asking before doing it! By and large, we're really cool about such
things so long as you DO NOT modify or edit the article and so long as you send an e-mail to
editor @aero news.net, outlining where you want to reprint the article and such... we'll get
Lttp: /www.aero- news.net/FAQs.cfm 1/28/2011
Aero -News Network: The Aviation and Aerospace World's Daily /Real -Time News and Information Service Page 3 of
tp: /www.aero- news.net/FAQs.cfm
back to you right away with permission so long as the use meets our "acceptable use" policy.
PLEASE wait for permission before publishing, OK?
How do I submit a Press release on my new Whizbang Snotblaster 4000?
EASY! Send it to editor @aero news.net and BE SURE to send as much info as you can
along with good photos and contact information so that we can get back to you for follow, if
necessary. It is MUCH better to send us too much data than to send us too little. We pride
ourselves on our comprehensive grasp and coverage of important news items... and if we
can't get out good solid data, we're NOT likely to publish it.
IS ANN available in other languages besides English?
We publish ANN in English... but there are MANY excellent web translation utilities out in the
cyber world, though we hear that we read particularly well in the original Klingon version...
Why don't you do stories on... (favorite subject here)
We cover the ENTIRE world of aviation and aerospace... BUT if you think there's something
were missing, RUN (do not walk) to your PC and send a note to publisher @aero news.net or
news spy @aero news.net.
Where can we meet you guys?
That depends, if you're female, cute and available, we'll be there in a few minutes...
However; you can usually catch one or more of the ANN Staff at the most prominent aviation
events in the US. Check the pages of ANN for the "ANN WILL BE THERE" note in the
description, in the E -Vent calendar.
What's this April 1st Edition I keep hearing about?
Its simply our attempt to balance out the seriousness of the news business with ONE DAY out
of each year when we lampoon everything and everybody, mercilessly, in the aviation
business. Its irreverent, hysterical, bizarre, and we take no prisoners... but ANN's Annual
April 1st Edition is one of the most widely -read pages in the aero cyber- world.
What does to cost to subscribe?
Nothing. It's FREE and that's way we're trying to keep it. Heckuva deal, no?
Will you Zink to my site?
We currently don't host a links page... its been done a million times before and quite nicely in
a few cases. So... until we get a number of other, more important, things accomplished, we'll
leave the linking game to others for the moment.
How do I get the ANN News Ticker?
We have designed a small "portable" News Ticker that will offer current ANN headlines about
what is happening in the aviation world. It can be copied to virtually any Web site (including
YOURS!) on the Internet by simply requesting the code and permissions from us. In addition
to staying abreast of the latest headlines, you can click on any one of these News Tickers, no
matter who's site it is on, and then go directly to ANN to read the news, in- depth, anytime

Dear Ms. Williams:
I profoundly apologize I will not be able to make the meeting tonight.
My circumstances have changed. Today I have restarted work after been on admin leave for about
3 months and now my employer has changed my work hours and they are not flexible about it. I am
going to find it quite difficults to get to the meetings in a timely and efficient manner. I am deeply
sorry, I do want to continue but I cannot.
Sony also about the quite late notice.

RESPONSE:
APPLICATION TO SERVE ON CITY BOARD /COMMITTEE ATTACHMENT
QUESTION: HOW WOULD YOUR EXPERIENCE BENEFIT THE BOARD YOU'RE APPLYING
FOR?
I have over 10 years of experience in Landscape Architecture, which covers a broad area
of site development. My professional experience has given me a complete understanding of the
issues that can and may concern Planning and Zoning, Parks and Recreation, Natural Resources
and Construction committees. Prior to moving to the City of Sebastian, I worked solely in the area
of designing parks and recreation areas such as nature trails, open space utilization, and sport
complexes; ranging from sports fields to skate parks. Since I moved to the City of Sebastian, I
have gained significant knowledge of native Florida plant material, landscape and irrigation
design, as well as attaining certification as a Florida Certified Horticulture Professional thru the
FNGLA, in addition to understanding the issues of intelligent sustainable development, the
positive impact of our parks and recreation areas, and the importance of our natural resources
and responsible water usage. Therefore, I believe that my experience and knowledge would
greatly benefit the Planning and Zoning Committee directly, as well as the Parks and Recreation,
Natural Resources, and Construction committees. In closing, as a resident of the City of
Sebastian, I am personally invested in the future of our city and would be honored to serve the
community and it's interests as a Planning and Zoning, Parks and Recreation, Natural Resources
or Construction committee member.

SUMMARY
At the 15 DEC 10 Regular Meeting, Council authorized staff to move to the procurement
process in order to construct Powerline Road. In so doing, Council also required a
design modification along the west side of the proposed roadway to include landscape
and a berm as a residential buffer. Masteller and Moler Engineering have completed
redesign. Prior to proceeding to bid, the redesign requires Council review because of
design limitations. In short, a landscape buffer can be installed, but the ROW width and
existing ditch will not permit the construction of any significant berm due to maintenance
requirements.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff seeks to inform Council of the design limitation and seeks continuation of the
project.

SUMMARY
In response to a request from Council during the 2011 Goal Setting discussion at the 26
JAN 11 Regular Meeting, this item is placed on the 9 FEB 11 agenda to provide an
update on the %4 -Round Drainage Improvements that the City has been conducting.
Attached hereto is a chart which depicts areas that have received improvement,
currently undergoing improvement and estimated schedule for improvements.
In some part, the schedule for improvements is unacceptable. However, the City's
ability to complete drainage improvements it is governed by a number of factors such as
finances, workforce, geography /topography and stormwater regulations.
During the past several years, the City has invested a minimum of $500,000 per year to
complete improvements. In some years up to $1,000,000 was invested to address
critical areas or, more recently, to assist in street improvement projects (namely Barber
Street). Staff has prioritized improvements based on a ranking system created by the
former Engineering Department. Improvement priority is essentially rated by factors
such as (1) drainage problem severity; (2) complaints filed; and, (3) system effectiveness
(i.e., addressing drainage improvements from the outfall upstream). Based on the
current cost, staff identified that it will take approximately twenty -five years to install
round throughout the community, if drainage improvements are completed in "$500,000
project blocks
Staff is happy to report that this approach to drainage has made a difference in the last
several years. To date over 25 miles of -round have been installed. However, there
exists over 300 miles of storm water swales in the Highlands. While it is anticipated that
a solution for this situation cannot be identified in one discussion, staff offers some
discussion points to help educate the community and start a dialogue that supports a
long term publicly adopted approach to drainage improvement:
The City has financed -round improvements with DST, Stormwater, and Local
Option Gas Tax Funds.
The City has found that contracting' -round improvements is most economical.
D The current cost for improvements is approximately $17.72 per linear foot or
$1,420 per household. This amount includes costs of $10.50 per L.F. for
round, $650 in concrete for the average driveway replacement and $150 for a 30
foot section of driveway culvert.
D Driveway replacement is the most critical element in addressing swale drainage
problems because if the flow line is corrected only to leave blockages at
deteriorating or misaligned driveway culverts, stormwater will not flow to
designated outfalls.
D Driveway replacement is the most expensive element and unknown quantity in
drainage improvements. In each "project block" a driveway survey is completed
to determine blockages in the flow line. If driveways are in generally passing
condition, the cost for drainage improvement can drop below $17.72 per foot.
Conversely, if driveway conditions are poor and require additional culvert
"change outs the cost can increase significantly above $17.72 per foot.
D A petition system may help expedite drainage improvements. Indian River
County has such a program for other public improvements. This process would
provide homeowner contributions towards starting unscheduled improvements;
however, based on the City- homeowner ratio, City funds for such a program may
reduce amounts needed for scheduled work.
D The City may want to consider a driveway replacement assessment for those
homeowners that have faulty culverts. This process may reduce costs, which will
increase drainage improvement schedule. However, this process may not
guarantee that assessments are paid, still leaving the City to absorb the initial
financial outlay.
D It may be appropriate to place a formal -round improvement plan in the
Stormwater Master Plan update.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff anticipates dialogue and additional consideration from Council on this item.

SUMMARY
Last year a Community Assistance Contact (CAC) was conducted by the State of
Florida Division of Emergency Management to review Sebastian's participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). As a result of that review, certain
deficiencies were identified in Sebastian's floodplain management regulations, as
noted in the CAC report (attached).
To assist city staff, the Floodplain Management Specialist for the NFIP provided a
model Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance. In accordance with that document, staff
has reorganized Chapter 46 and supplemented it with new definitions regarding
manufactured homes, historic structures, lowest floor, recreational vehicles and
substantial damage, and regulations regarding placement of manufactured homes and
recreational vehicles.
The proposed new Chapter 46 has been reviewed by the Division of Emergency
Management NFIP Manager, Joy Duperault, who has confirmed that this ordinance
will meet our needs for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. In
addition, the Sebastian Construction Board reviewed the proposed ordinance at their
December 14, 2010 meeting and gave their recommendation of approval.

ARTICLE I. STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION, FINDINGS OF FACT,
PURPOSE, AND OBJECTIVES
Sec. 46 -1 Statutory Authorization
The Legislature of the State of Florida has authorized and delegated in Chapter 166, Florida Statutes, the
responsibility of local government units to adopt regulations designed to promote the public health, safety, and
general welfare of its citizenry. Therefore, the City Council of the City of Sebastian does hereby adopt the
following floodplain management regulations.
Sec. 46 -2 Findings of Fact
(1)
The flood hazard areas of the City of Sebastian are subject to periodic inundation, which results in loss of
life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services,
extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of
which adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare.
(2) These flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in floodplains causing increases in
flood heights and velocities, and by the occupancy in flood hazard areas by uses vulnerable to floods or
hazardous to other lands which are inadequately elevated, flood proofed, or otherwise unprotected from
flood damages.
Sec. 46 -3 Statement of Purpose
Chapter 46
FLOODS
It is the purpose of this article to save lives, promote the public health, safety and general welfare, and minimize
public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed to:
(1)
(2) Require that uses vulnerable to floods including facilities which serve such uses be protected against flood
damage throughout their intended life span;
(3)
(5)
(1)
Restrict or prohibit uses which are dangerous to life, health, safety and property due to water or erosion
hazards, which result in damaging increases in erosion or in flood heights and velocities;
Control the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels, and natural protective barriers which are
involved in the accommodation of flood waters;
(4) Control filling, grading, dredging and other development which may increase erosion or flood damage; and
Prevent or regulate the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert floodwaters or which
may increase flood hazards to other lands.
Sec. 46 -4 Objectives
The objectives of this article are to:
Protect human life, health and to eliminate or minimize property damage;
4
(2) Minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects;
(3) Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally undertaken at the
expense of the general public;
(4) Minimize prolonged business interruptions;
(5) Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains, electric, telephone and
sewer lines, roadways, and bridges and culverts located in floodplains;
(6) Maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of flood prone areas in such a
manner as to minimize flood blight areas; and
(7) Ensure that potential homebuyers are notified that property is in a flood hazard area.
Sec. 46 -5 Definitions

Code). Existing construction, means for the purposes of determining rates, structures for which the "start of
construction" commenced before May 4, 1989 (effective date of Sebastian's first FIRM). This term may also be
referred to as "existing structures
Existing manufactured home park or subdivision means a manufactured home park or subdivision for which the
construction of facilities for servicing the lots on which the manufactured homes are to be affixed (including at a
minimum the installation of utilities, the construction of streets, and either final site grading or the pouring of
concrete pads) is completed before April 4, 1980.
Expansion to an existing manufactured home park or subdivision means the preparation of additional sites by
the construction of facilities for servicing the Lots on which the manufactured homes are to be affixed (including the
installation of utilities, the construction of streets, and either final site grading or the pouring of concrete pads).
Flood or flooding means:

(1) The overflow of inland or tidal waters.
(2) The unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source.
(3)
Mudslides (Le., mudflows) which are proximately caused by flooding as defined in paragraph (a) (2) of
this definition and are akin to a river of liquid and flowing mud on the surface of normally dry land areas,
as when earth is carried by a current of water and deposited along the path of the current.
(b) The collapse or subsidence of land along a shore of a lake or other body of water as the result of erosion or
undermining caused by waves or currents of water exceeding anticipated cyclical levels or suddenly caused by
an unusually high water level in a natural body of water, accompanied by a severe storm or by an unanticipated
force of nature, such as a flash flood or an abnormal tidal surge or by some similarly unusual and
unforeseeable event which results in flooding as defined in paragraph (a) (1) of this definition.

surface elevations, or an examination, evaluation, and determination of mudslide (i.e., mudflow) and other flood
related erosion hazards. The study may also contain flood profiles, as well as the FIRM, FHBM (where applicable),
and other related data and information.
Floodplain means any land area susceptible to being inundated by water from any source (see definition of
"flooding
Floodplain management means the operation of an overall program of corrective and preventive measures for

order to discharge the base flood without cumulatively increasing the water surface elevation more than a designated
height.
Floodway fringe means that area of the one percent (base or 100 -year) floodplain on either side of the regulatory
floodway.
Freeboard means the additional height, usually expressed as a factor of safety in feet, above a flood level for

contribute to flood heights greater than the heights calculated for a selected frequency flood and floodway
conditions.
Free of Obstruction means any type of lower area enclosure or other construction element will not obstruct the
flow of velocity water and wave action beneath the lowest horizontal structural member of the lowest floor of an
elevated building during a base flood event. This requirement applies to the structures in velocity zones (V- Zones).
Functionally dependent use means a use that cannot be used for its intended purpose unless it is located or carried
out in close proximity to water, such as a docking or port facility necessary for the loading and unloading of cargo or
passengers, shipbuilding, ship repair, or seafood processing facilities. The term does not include long -term storage,
manufacture, sales, or service facilities.
7
Hardship as related to variances from this article means the exceptional difficulty associated with the land that
would result from a failure to grant the requested variance. The community requires that the variance is exceptional,
unusual, and peculiar to the property involved. Mere economic or financial hardship alone is not exceptional.
Inconvenience, aesthetic considerations, physical handicaps, personal preferences, or the disapproval of one's
neighbors likewise cannot, as a rule, qualify as an exceptional hardship. All of these problems can be resolved
through other means without granting a variance, even if the alternative is more expensive, or requires the property
owner to build elsewhere or put the parcel to a different use than originally intended.

varying elevations within the floodplain.
New Construction means, for floodplain management purposes, any structure for which the "start of construction"
commenced on or after April 4, 1980 (effective date of Sebastian's original Flood Damage Prevention Code). The
term also includes any subsequent improvements to such structures. For flood insurance rates, structures for which
the start of construction commenced on or after May 4, 1989 (effective date of Sebastian's first FIRM), and includes
any subsequent improvements to such structures.
New manufactured home park or subdivision means a manufactured home park or subdivision for which the
construction of facilities for servicing the lots on which the manufactured homes are to be affixed (including at a

Principally above ground means that at least 51 percent of the actual cash value of the structure is above ground.
Program deficiency means a defect in the community's floodplain management regulations or administrative
procedures that impairs effective implementation of those floodplain management regulations or of the standards
required by the National Flood Insurance Program.
Public safety and nuisance means anything which is injurious to safety or health of the entire community or a
neighborhood, or any considerable number of persons, or unlawfully obstructs the free passage or use, in the
customary manner, of any navigable lake, or river, bay, stream, canal, or basin.

c) Designed to be self propelled or permanently towable by a light duty truck; and
d) Designed primarily not for use as a permanent dwelling but as temporary living quarters for recreational,
camping, travel, or seasonal use.
9
Regulatory floodway means the channel of a river or other watercourse and the adjacent land areas that must be
reserved in order to discharge the base flood without cumulatively increasing the water surface elevation more than
a designated height.
Remedy a deficiency or violation means to bring the regulation, procedure, structure or other development into
compliance with State of Florida, Federal, or local floodplain management regulations; or if this is not possible, to
reduce the impacts of its noncompliance. Ways the impacts may be reduced include protecting the structure or other
affected development from flood damages, implementing the enforcement provisions of this article or otherwise

issued, provided the actual start of construction, repair, reconstruction, or improvement was within 180 days of the
permit date. The actual start means the first placement of permanent construction of a building (including a
manufactured home) on a site, such as the pouring of slabs or footings, installation of piles, construction of columns,
or any work beyond the stage of excavation or placement of a manufactured home on a foundation. Permanent
construction does not include land preparation, such as clearing, grading and filling; nor does it include the
installation of streets and/or walkways; nor does it include excavation for a basement, footings, piers or foundations
or the erection of temporary forms; nor does it include the installation on the property of accessory buildings, such
as garages or sheds not occupied as dwelling units or not part of the main building. For substantial improvement,
the actual start of construction means the first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor, or other structural part of a
building, whether or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the building.
Storm cellar means a place below grade used to accommodate occupants of the structure and emergency supplies as
a means of temporary shelter against severe tornadoes or similar windstorm activity.
Structure means, for floodplain management purposes, a walled and roofed building, including gas or liquid storage
tank that is principally above ground, as well as a manufactured home.
Substantial damage means damage of any origin sustained by a structure whereby the cost of restoring the structure
to its before damaged condition would equal or exceed 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the
damage occurred.
Substantial improvement means any reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, or other improvement of a structure,
the cumulative cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the "start of
construction" of the improvement. This term includes structures that have incurred "substantial damage" regardless
of the actual repair work performed. This term does not, however, include any repair or improvement of a structure
to correct existing violations of State of Florida or local health, sanitary, or safety code specifications, which have
been identified by the local code enforcement official prior to the application for permit for improvement, and which
are the minimum necessary to assure safe living conditions. This term does not include any alteration of a historic
structure, provided that the alteration will not preclude the structure's continued designation as a historic structure.
Substantially improved existing manufactured home parks or subdivisions is where the repair, reconstruction,
rehabilitation or improvement of the streets, utilities and pads equals or exceeds 50 percent of the value of the
streets, utilities and pads before the repair, reconstruction or improvement commenced.
Variance is a grant of relief from the requirements of this article.
10
Violation means the failure of a structure or other development to be fully compliant with the requirements of this
article. A structure or other development without the elevation certificate, other certifications, or other evidence of
compliance required in this article is presumed to be in violation until such time as that documentation is provided.
Watercourse means a lake, river, creek, stream, wash, channel or other topographic feature on or over which waters
flow at least periodically. Watercourse includes specifically designated areas in which substantial flood damage
may occur.

Administrator a certification of the NGVD or NAVD elevation of the lowest floor or flood proofed
elevation, or bottom of the lowest horizontal structural member of the lowest floor as built, in relation to
mean sea level. Said certification shall be prepared by or under the direct supervision of a registered land
surveyor or professional engineer and certified by same. When flood proofing is utilized for a particular
building said certification shall be prepared by or under the direct supervision of a professional engineer or
architect and certified by same. Any work undertaken prior to submission of the certification shall be at the
permit holder's risk. The Floodplain Administrator shall review the lowest floor and flood proofing
elevation survey data submitted. The permit holder immediately and prior to further progressive work
being permitted to proceed shall correct violations detected by such review. Failure to submit the survey or
failure to make said corrections required hereby shall be cause to issue a stop -work order for the project.
Require copies of additional Federal, State of Florida, or Local permits, especially as they relate to Chapters
161.053; 320.8249; 320.8359; 373.036; 380.05; 381.0065; and 553, Part IV, Florida Statutes, be submitted
along with the development permit application and maintain such permits on file with the development
permit;
(4) Notify adjacent communities, the Florida Department of Community Affairs Division of Emergency
Management NFIP Coordinating Office, St. Johns River Water Management District, the Federal
Emergency Management Agency, and other Federal and/or State of Florida agencies with statutory or
regulatory authority prior to any alteration or relocation of a watercourse;
(5) Assure that the flood carrying capacity within the altered or relocated portion of any watercourse is
maintained;

Article V, Sec. 46 -17, shall apply:
(1) Residential Construction. All new construction and substantial improvement of any residential building
(including manufactured home) shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to no lower than
the base flood elevation. Should solid foundation perimeter walls be used to elevate a structure, there must
be a minimum of two openings on different sides of each enclosed area sufficient to facilitate automatic
equalization of flood hydrostatic forces in accordance with standards of Article V, Sec. 46- 18(3).
(2) Non Residential Construction. All new construction and substantial improvement of any commercial,
industrial, or non residential building (including manufactured home) shall have the lowest floor, including
15
CJ
(3)
basement, elevated to no lower than the base flood elevation. All buildings located in A -Zones may be
flood proofed, in lieu of being elevated, provided that all areas of the building components, together with
attendant utilities and sanitary facilities, below the base flood elevation are water tight with walls
substantially impermeable to the passage of water, and use structural components having the capability of
resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and the effects of buoyancy. A registered professional
engineer or architect shall certify that the standards of this subsection are satisfied using the FEMA
Floodproofing Certificate. Such certification along with the corresponding engineering data, and the
operational and maintenance plans shall be provided to the Floodplain Administrator.
Enclosures below the Lowest Floor. New construction and substantial improvements that include fully
enclosed areas formed by foundation and other exterior walls below the lowest floor shall be designed to
preclude finished living space and designed to allow for the entry and exit of floodwaters to automatically
equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls.
(a) Designs for complying with this requirement must either be certified by a professional engineer or
architect or meet or exceed the following minimum criteria:
(i) Provide a minimum of two openings on different sides of each enclosed area having a total
net area of not less than one square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to
flooding;
(ii) The bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one foot above adjacent interior grade
(which must be equal to or higher in elevation than the adjacent exterior grade); and
(iii) Openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, valves, or other coverings or devices
provided they provide the required net area of the openings and permit the automatic flow of
floodwaters in both directions.
(b) Fully enclosed areas below the lowest floor shall solely be used for parking of vehicles, storage, and
building access. Access to the enclosed area shall be minimum necessary to allow for parking of
vehicles (garage door), limited storage of maintenance equipment used in connection with the premises
(standard exterior door), or entry to the living area (stairway or elevator); and
(c) The interior portion of such enclosed area shall not be finished or partitioned into separate rooms.
(d) Electrical, plumbing, and other utility connections are prohibited below the base flood elevation.
(4) Standards for Manufactured Homes and Recreational Vehicles
(a) All manufactured homes that are placed, or substantially improved within Zones A1-30, AH, and
AE, on sites (i) outside of an existing manufactured home park or subdivision, (ii) in a new
manufactured home park or subdivision, (iii) in an expansion to an existing manufactured home
park or subdivision, or (iv) in an existing manufactured home park or subdivision on which a
manufactured home has incurred "substantial damage" as the result of a flood, the lowest floor be
elevated on a permanent foundation to no lower than the base flood elevation and be securely
anchored to an adequately anchored foundation system to resist flotation, collapse, and lateral
movement.
(b) All manufactured homes to be placed or substantially improved in an existing manufactured home
park or subdivision that are not subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 (a) of this Section, must be
elevated so that either:
(i) The lowest floor of the manufactured home is elevated to no lower than the base flood
elevation, or
16
(7)
(ii) The manufactured home chassis is supported by reinforced piers or other foundation
elements of at least an equivalent strength that are no less than 36 inches in height above
the grade and securely anchored to an adequately anchored foundation system to resist
flotation, collapse, and lateral movement.

for which base flood elevation data has been provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
without the delineation of the regulatory floodway (Zones AE and A 1 -30), the following provisions, in
addition to those set forth in Article V, Sec. 46 -18(1) through (5), shall apply:
(a) Until a regulatory floodway is designated, no new construction, substantial improvements, or other
development including fill shall be permitted within the areas of special flood hazard, unless it is
demonstrated that the cumulative effect of the proposed development, when combined with all
other existing and anticipated development will not increase the water surface elevation of the
base flood more than one foot at any point within the community.
(b) Development activities which increase the water surface elevation of the base flood by more than
one foot may be allowed, provided that the developer or applicant first applies with the
community's endorsement for a conditional FIRM revision, and receives the approval of the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Standards for waterways with established Base Flood Elevations and Floodways.
Located within areas of special flood hazard established in Article III, Sec. 46 -7, are areas designated as
floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the high velocity of flood waters
which carry debris, potential projectiles and have significant erosion potential, the following provisions, in
addition to those set forth in Article V, Sec. 46 -18(1) through (5), shall apply:
(a) Prohibit encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements and other
developments within the regulatory floodway unless certification (with supporting technical data)
by a registered professional engineer is provided through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses
performed in accordance with standard engineering practice demonstrating that encroachments
would not result in any increase in flood levels during occurrence of the base flood discharge.
17
93,
(b) Placement of manufactured homes is prohibited within the regulatory floodway, except in an
existing manufactured home park or subdivision. A replacement manufactured home may be
placed on a lot in an existing manufactured home park or subdivision provided the anchoring
standards of Article V, Sec. 46- 17(2), the elevation standards of Article V, Sec. 46 -18(1) and (2),
and the encroachment standard of Article V, Sec. 46 -18 (7) (a), are met.
(c) Development activities including new construction and substantial improvements within the
regulatory floodway that increase the base flood elevation may be allowed, provided that the
developer or applicant first applies with the community's endorsement for a conditional FIRM
revision, and receives the approval of FEMA.
(d) When fill is proposed, in accordance with the permit issued by the Florida Department of Health,
within the regulatory floodway, the development permit shall be issued only upon demonstration
by appropriate engineering analyses that the proposed fill will not increase the water surface
elevation of the base flood in accordance with Article V, Sec. 46 -18(7) (a).
(8) For all structures located seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL), the lowest floor of all
new construction and substantial improvements shall be elevated to no lower than the 100 -year flood
elevation established by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection or by FEMA in accordance
with Article III, Sec. 46 -7, whichever is higher. All non elevation design requirements of Article V, Sec.
46 -18 shall apply.
Sec. 46 -19 Specific standards for A -Zones without base flood elevations and regulatory floodways.
Located within the areas of special flood hazard established in Article III, Sec. 46 -7, where there exist A Zones for
which no base flood elevation data and regulatory floodway have been provided or designated by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency, the following provisions shall apply:
(1)
(3)

The Floodplain Administrator shall obtain, review, and reasonably utilize any base flood elevation and
floodway data available from a Federal, State of Florida, or any other source, in order to administer the
provisions of this article. When such data is utilized, provisions of Article V, Sec. 46 -18 shall apply. The
Floodplain Administrator shall:
(a) Obtain the elevation (in relation to the mean sea level) of the lowest floor (including the basement)
of all new and substantially improved structures,
(b) Obtain, if the structure has been floodproofed in accordance with the requirements of Article V,
Sec. 46- 18(2), the elevation in relation to the mean sea level to which the structure has been
floodproofed, and
(4) Notify, in riverine situations, adjacent communities, the Florida Department of Community Affairs NFIP
Coordinating Office, and the St. Johns River Water Management District prior to any alteration or
relocation of a watercourse, and submit copies of such notifications to FEMA.
Assure that the flood carrying capacity within the altered or relocated portion of any watercourse is
maintained.
(6) Manufactured homes shall be installed using methods and practices that minimize flood damage. They
must be elevated and anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, and lateral movement. Methods of anchoring
may include, but are not limited to, use of over the -top or frame ties to ground anchors. This requirement
is in addition to applicable State of Florida and local anchoring requirements for resisting wind forces.
When the data is not available from any source, in accordance with standard set forth in Article V, Sec. 46-
19(2) of this section, the lowest floor of the structure shall be elevated in accordance with Article I, Sec.
26 -1. Standards set forth in Article V, Sec. 46 -18 shall apply.
(7)
Sec. 46 -20 Standards for AO -Zones

or other structural damage to the elevated portion of the building or supporting foundation system. For the
purpose of this section, a breakaway wall shall have a design safe loading resistance of not less than 10 and
no more than 20 pounds per square foot. Use of breakaway walls which exceed a design safe loading
resistance of 20 pounds per square foot (either by design or when so required by State of Florida or local
codes) may be permitted only if a registered professional engineer or architect certifies that the designs
proposed meet the following conditions:
Wind loading values will be those required by applicable State of Florida or local, if more
stringent than those of the State of Florida, building standards.
a) Breakaway wall collapse shall result from water load less than that which would occur during the
base flood; and
b) The elevated portion of the building and supporting foundation system shall not be subject to
collapse, displacement, or other structural damage due to the effects of wind and water loads
acting simultaneously on all building components (structural and nonstructural). The water
loading shall be those values associated with the base flood. The wind loading values shall be
those required by applicable Florida or local, if more stringent than those of the State of Florida,
building standards.
(c) Such enclosed space shall be useable solely for parking of vehicles, building access, or storage.

BACKGROUND
a.) Last CAC By Whom/ Results
The City of Sebastian has never had a CAC.
The last CA V was conducted by the State on March 27, 2000. Minor problems were
found with the floodplain management regulations and administrative and
enforcement procedures. Additionally potential violations of the floodplain
management regulations were found. "Problems with three ECs. Need to amend
ordinance to include lowest floor definition and correct FIRM FIS date." Note: Final
follow -up not noted in FEMA's database.
b.) History of Flood Problems/ Population/ Development/ Administration
No flooding has occurred in the community within the past 12 months. According to
the 2009 Biennial Report, Sebastian has a population of 22,924, with 2,292 people/ 650
structures within the SFHA. Much of the Community's development came to a halt
with the downturn of the economy. However several subdivisions have begun building
again, while 4 still remain dormant. Wayne Eseltine, the Building Department Director
is the designated floodplain manager. He has been working in his current position for 6
years, and with the NFIP for 20 years. He works closely with Rebecca Grohall, Director
of Growth Management, who has been working for the Community, and with the NFIP
for 5 years, and Jan King, Manager of Growth Management, who has been working for
the Community, and with the NFIP for 21 years.

The Community Assistance Contact telephone call was attended by: Wayne Eseltine

King (Manager, Growth Management), and Al Minner (City Manager) all of the City of
Sebastian, and Mollie Heibert of FDEM.
1. Are there any problems with the community's floodplain management regulations?
Minor. Please see Community Action Required at the end of this report.
Several Definitions are missing from the ordinance (It was also noted in the last
CAV conducted by the State that Sebastian s ordinance had several missing
definitions which have still not been added to their ordinance):
o Existing Manufactured Home Park or Subdivision
o Expansion to an Existing Manufactured Home Park or Subdivision
o Historic Structure
o Lowest Floor
o Manufactured Home Park or Subdivision
o New Manufactured Home Park or Subdivision
o Recreational Vehicle
o Substantial Damage
Regulations pertaining to manufactured homes placed within A1-30, AH, and
AE Zones [The NFIP Federal Regulations for this can be found in 44 CFR
60.3(c)(6) and (c)(12)]
All regulations pertaining to recreational vehicles within A1-30, AH, AE, V1 -30,
VE, and V Zones [The NFIP Federal Regulations for this can be found in 44 CFR
60.3(c)(14) and (e)(9)]

2. Are there problems with administrative and enforcement procedures?
No.
3. Are there engineering or other problems with the maps or Flood Insurance Study?
Minor. On the current FIRMs, streets are not indentified, and if they are they are
wrongly identified. However, Indian River County, which includes Sebastian, just
received their preliminary DFIRMs shortly after this CAC was conducted, therefore
hopefully these issues were resolved or can now be addressed.
4. Are there other problems with the local floodplain management program?
No.
5. Are there problems with the Biennial Report data?
No. They filed out the most recent (2009) Biennial Report.
6. Are there any programmatic issues or problems identified?
No.
7. Are there any potential violations of the community's floodplain management
regulations?
No.
MITIGATION GRANT ACTIVITY INTEREST
There is currently no mitigation grant activity occurring in Sebastian; however they are
interested in receiving contact information regarding these. Please see Action Required by
the State at the end of this report.
OTHER FINDINGS
Someone seeking a development permit for residential construction submits an
application with a survey to the Building Department where the flood zone is
checked and the plans are reviewed. Growth Management then also conducts a
review and approves the plans.
o For commercial development the process remains the same, only the
Growth Management Department makes a recommendation (instead of a
final approval) for approval or denial to the Planning and Zoning
Commission, who then has final approval of the development.
o Those seeking a permit for subdivision development submit an
application to the Growth Management Department who reviews the
application and makes a recommendation for approval or denial to the
City Council, who then has final approval of the development.
21 permits have been issued in the SFHA within the past three years. 3 of those
have been issued within the past year.

No permits have been issued for substantial improvement
Several structures have been determined to be substantially damaged. This
occurred mostly after 2 hurricanes hit Sebastian. The structures were deemed
unsafe and were demolished.
No Variances have been issued
There are manufactured home parks or subdivisions in the SFHA. However,
only a small portion of these parks or subdivisions lie within the SFHA.
Sebastian does regulate the installation and replacement of manufactured homes.
Sebastian is very familiar with LOMAs. They receive approximately 50 LOMAs
per year; they are mostly LOMR -Fs. The City reviews the letters and signs off on
them for the residents.
A survey and EC are required both before the slab is poured and at finished
construction.
Sebastian has one repetitive loss property that has not flooded recently.
They participate in the LMS and attend the LMS meetings in the County.
The community recently completed the Twin Ditches project. They dredged and
replaced a seawall and stormwater main. They are also mowing in order to
lower the flood risk in those areas.
COMMUNITY ACTION
The following actions are required to be completed by the Community by September 15,
2010:

homes, recreational vehicles, and missing definitions; if any or all of these
regulations are contained in another part of the LDR, please provide the
applicable sections that contain the missing regulations.
The following actions are suggested:
Check the Florida Floodplain Management Association's webpage for training
opportunities (www.ffma.net).
FOLLOW UP BY STATE
