PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF APRIL 7, 2011
required public notifications the landscape waiver was being heard tonight instead of
with the previously held site plan hearing. He discussed the requirements of the
riverfront landscaping needed for this "working waterfront" project and stated that based
on the proposed busy nature of the two new buildings with pick -ups, fork lifts, crates, ice
bags, etc. they were asking for a waiver from the foundation plantings on three sides of
the structures. However, all of the required amounts of canopy trees and hedges for all
four sides would be planted on the front. Because of this concentration, they were
asking for a waiver from the understory trees, also, as this would be too much for healthy
growth, and they would also hide the new attractive buildings.
Ms. Bosworth verified that Mr. Schulke's calculations were correct, reviewed the staff
report, and read the four waiver requests: 1) no foundation planting on the north, south,
and east perimeters of the two new buildings; 2) reduce foundation planting strips from
10 feet to 5 feet; 3) reduce canopy tree heights from 12 feet to 8 feet; and 4) waiver from
all understory trees. Staff recommended approval of the waiver. She stated this was
different from the previous requested landscape waiver from Clams R Us because that
was a new project on vacant property, and Fisherman's Landing was a redevelopment
project of an existing site.
Mr. Paul asked the city attorney if questions regarding the site plan could still be asked
at this hearing. Mr. Ginsburg responded only if the question involves the landscaping or
would help make a decision regarding the landscaping waiver.
Mr. Durr verified the number of understory trees to be waived is 18. He asked if there
was any effort when designing the site to try to meet the landscape requirements. Mr.
Schulke stated the site has plenty of green space, but that stormwater would be located
in some of those areas. The parcel boundary areas were defined. Mr. Durr felt that 12
foot trees, after a few years of growth, would not block the buildings, and that 8 foot
trees would be more of a detriment.
Mr. Carter also questioned efforts with regards to meeting the code. Mr. Schulke stated
the understory trees would make it too dense, and pointed out that existing landscaping
on the north side of the property, including a very large Banyan Tree, was not shown on
the plan. The proposed landscaping plan was displayed on the overhead. Mr. Carter
also agreed that 12 foot trees would be better for the site.
Mr. Dodd asked if the trees on the west side parking area that needed replacing would
be done as part of this project. Ms. Grohall stated they will be replaced as part of the
ongoing maintenance the city is doing on the project. He stated he was for the waivers
as they made sense with the projected busy nature of the site.
Mr. Roth agreed the understory trees would be too many, and that the 8 foot trees were
too low for line -of -sight and architectural reasons.
The Commission and Mr. Schulke reviewed the truck and fire rescue u- shaped traffic
pattern of the site, along with public safety measures. Ms. Grohall added that the intent
is to direct visitors to the Hurricane Harbor site and boardwalk for additional pedestrian
safety.
Public Input was opened. There were no proponents or opponents who spoke.

Staff revised its recommendation based on the comments from the Commission,
recommending approval of items #1, #2, and #4, removing approval for item #3, waiver
request for 8 foot high trees. Mr. Schulke then withdrew the request for item #3 and said
they will plant 12 foot high trees.
MOTION by Dodd /Roth to approve the waiver for landscape requirements for
Fisherman's Landing as outlined in Section 7 items 1, 2, and 4 of the staff report.

SEBASTIAN CHARTER JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL 782 WAVE STREET

3,530 SF, REVISION TO PARKING, DRIVE AISLES, LANDSCAPING,
STORMWATER, AND REMOVAL OF MODULAR BUILDINGS PUD -C
(PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT COMMERCIAL) ZONING DISTRICT
Mr. Paul announced there was a small modification that this item was actually a "Public
Hearing Recommendation to City Council" instead of a quasi-judicial hearing. He
opened the hearing and Mr. Ginsburg read the title of the item.
Mr. John Rivera, President and Chairman of Sebastian Charter Junior High School, gave
a presentation on the history programs of the school and reason for the application.
Currently, there are 160 students, 6 thru 8th grade. He stated the school is a non -for-
profit 501(c3) corporation and the Board of Directors is a volunteer board. The school
has been an "A school for the last five years. However, the facilities have become
very limiting, are all modular buildings that are linked together, and many hours are
spent on repairs. Life expectancy on the buildings is four years, which they have been
used for ten [years].
Ms. Amy Banov, of Banov Architecture and Construction, Inc., introduced the rest of the
design team of Todd Howder of MBV Engineering, and Brian Good, traffic engineer, of
Kimley -Horn and Associates, Inc. She reviewed how charter schools were funded. The
project is estimated to cost 3 to 3.5 million dollars and will be funded with capital
savings, a one -time allocation from the IRC school district, fundraising, and private
donations. Ms. Banov presented a power -point show which detailed the existing site,
setbacks and granted setback variances, buffer and easements, details of the proposed
site plan, parking and queuing, construction phasing details, student safety, a 3 -D view
of proposed elevations, proposed floor plans, cafeteria design for school and community
use, and architectural elements.
Mr. Todd Howder reviewed the engineering design plans, explaining this project was a
part of a master PUD plan, including stormwater and water sewer. Phase I consisted
3
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF APRIL 7, 2011
of a modification to the parking area, increasing to 24 spaces, fill culvert a large swale
adjacent to the Collier waterway for safety purposes, and install a water line for a fire
sprinkler system. He also reviewed the landscaping that will be installed in Phase I.
Phase II will begin construction of the school structure and completion of the angled
parking after the existing modular structure is removed. With the completion of the total
parking spaces (27), allowable student population can be 270.
Ms. Grohall reviewed her on -site meeting with the applicants regarding the trees and
noted that they are not asking for any landscaping waivers. She explained staffs
recommended condition regarding the off -site stormwater drainage system modification,
and reviewed with the Commission a condition from R- 00 -32, the resolution that
approved the original site plan for the school, which required the school to install a
sidewalk along Wave Street to connect to the Fleming Street sidewalk system at such
time the Fleming Street sidewalk was constructed.
Mr. Paul asked for clarification regarding the piping of the swale and the location was
shown on the site plan. Mr. Durr had concerns with the short length of Wave Street and
traffic back -up during student pick -up times. Mr. Brian Good spoke regarding the traffic
study done for the project and indicated additional queuing space was being added,
going from approx 250 lineal footage existing to 500 LF on the new site plan.
Mr. Reyes questioned the dumpster area in Phase I that would become the bicycle rack
area for the competed project and noted there was not a sidewalk for student access to
that area. After discussion, Mr. Howder stated he would work with staff to find an area
for at least a 2 -foot wide bicycle pathway to the rack.
Mr. Roth asked if there was need for a wheel stop in the handi- capped parking area
because he could not determine if it was a raised sidewalk in front of the spaces. Mr.
Howder verified it was a flush sidewalk system and that Section Detail B -B showed a
visual. The trees in the perimeter, the chain link fencing, and proposed lighting were
also discussed. Ms. Banov further explained the lighting /luminary plan. Mr. Roth also
questioned if there was a time frame for when the sidewalk along Wave Street would
have to be installed and would it be at the developer's or city's expense. Staff stated the
sidewalk would be a PUD improvement required by a developer. A sidewalk on the
school's property without any connection was discussed.
Mr. Dodd had clarified by staff which site plan was being modified and history of the two
variances [for setbacks and the temporary modular building]. He also felt the developer
of the PUD should build the sidewalk from the school's property to Fleming Street. He
asked if they could recommend to City Council to rescind that condition and re -do the
wording. Staff stated the Commission could add it to their motion. Mr. Dodd stated he
would like to see the school have to put in a sidewalk on their property only at the time
when the Fleming Street/adjacent property sidewalk system is installed.
Mr. Dodd asked to define what "serving kitchen" meant. Ms. Banov stated food service
for the school was done off -site and brought in, because the mechanics of a full kitchen
was more than what the school wanted on their site. He asked if the science labs would
have hazardous waste. Ms Banov stated no, and there would be no propane usage
either for burners.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF APRIL 7, 2011
Mr. Paul asked if there was any future plans to purchase any of the vacant property
adjacent to the school. Mr. Rivera stated no. Mr. Paul stated he was pleased with the
architectural elevations and liked the angled parking design. He asked if the proposed
bell tower was symbolic and or functional. Mr. Rivera stated it would not be operational.
The service court was explained as the area for school deliveries, recycle area, etc., and
the playing fields would remain grassed. Mr. Paul asked what the timeframes were for
the phases. Ms. Banov stated the Phase I parking expansion and building should begin
this summer, with possible occupancy in early 2012.
Public Input was opened.
Mr. John Maylie, 771 Carnation Drive, had concerns regarding traffic on Wave Street
especially during student pick -up, did not feel an additional 250 lineal feet of queuing
space was enough, and requested the traffic study be re- reviewed. He also disagreed
that a sidewalk to nowhere was not needed. He felt a sidewalk at least on the school's
property still helped with safety. And also felt the lighting [fixtures] should be low as can
be.
Dr. Martha McAdams, Principal, had all the students and parents who were present
supporting the project stand to be acknowledged. She stated that by looking at the
proposed elevations of the new school and comparing with the existing, it was clear this
project would be an asset not only to the school but the community. She felt they
already had a great school, they just needed a new building.
Mrs. Dale Simchick, 766 S. Easy Street, stated she was on City Council when the
variances were approved and they had questions regarding traffic also. She felt
aesthetically the new building would improve the area immensely. It was a good project
for the community, the children, and the neighbors.
Mr. Roth asked how high the light poles were going to be. Mr. Howder stated 20 feet.
Ms. Banov reviewed the Site Lighting Fixture Schedule sheet and luminary candle
numbers. Mr. Reyes had some additional fencing, setback, cupola, and flood zone
questions. Mr. Paul asked if the lights were on timers, and it was verified they would be.
Ms. Grohall stated staff was recommending approval with the conditions outlined in the
staff report on page 8 [items 1 2] and additional recommendation to modify the
sidewalk requirement established by Resolution R- 00 -32. Mr. Ginsburg stated the
modification would read "At such time as the Fleming Street sidewalk is constructed to
the school property at Wave Street, the applicant shall install a sidewalk from its
northern property line to its southern property line" [item #3].
MOTION by Roth /Reyes to recommend to City Council approval of the major site plan
modification [for Sebastian Charter Jr. High School] with the three items contained in the
staff report.
ROLL CALL: Mr. Reyes yes Mr. Dodd yes
Mr. Roth yes Mr. Durr yes
Mr. Carter yes Mr. Paul yes
The vote was 6 -0. Motion passed.

Sec. 54- 2 -5.3. Commercial districts (subsections 54 -2 -5.3.1 through 54- 2- 5.3.3).
General intent of commercial districts.
The overall purpose and intent of the commercial districts is to provide a management
framework for implementing comprehensive plan commercial development objectives and
policies. The location and distribution of specific types of commercial activities shall be
determined based on the following considerations:
Trip generation characteristics, including impact on transportation facilities and
off- street parking systems;
Location and site requirements based on specific needs of respective commercial
activities, their market area, anticipated employment generation and floor area
requirements;
Compatibility with and impact on nearby residential and other surrounding commer-
cial activities;
Relationship to surrounding land uses and natural systems; and
Impact on existing and planned community services and utilities.
All commercial development shall comply with the comprehensive plan, performance
criteria in chapter III, as well as all other applicable land development regulations. Following
is a description of the purpose of each zoning district herein established, including reference
to the comprehensive plan future land use map designation which shall be implemented
through the land development regulations.
Sec. 54- 2- 5.3.1. Commercial -512 District (C -512).
(a) Intent. The C -512 District is established to implement comprehensive plan policies for
managing land designated for commercial development along segments of C.R. 512.
(1) Traffic impacts along C.R. 512 corridor. The purpose and intent of the C -512 District
is to provide a well planned and equitable growth management policy for directing
future development within the C -512 District boundaries. The existing pattern of
LDC5:11
54 -2 -5.3.1 SEBASTIAN LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
development without such regulation violates accepted principles and practices of
traffic engineering, county road policies and standards, and adversely impacts the
safety, welfare, and convenience of the motoring public. This statement acknowledges
the fact that C.R. 512 is identified as an arterial highway on the major thoroughfare
plans of both the City of Sebastian and Indian River County. Both acknowledge that
C.R. 512 is a major regional transportation facility linking U.S. 1 and I -95, and also
linking the cities of Sebastian and Fellsmere with Indian River County, and the City
of Vero Beach urban areas to the south.
(2) Plan for off-street parking and controlled curb cuts. The purpose and intent of the
C -512 District is also to restrict the location of curb cuts within the district, require
compliance with a master plan for parking and curb cut control, and regulate the
timing and intensity of land development in order to alleviate potential traffic
congestion along the C.R. 512 corridor. Although presently land within this district is
relatively undeveloped, if the regulations prescribed herein were not duly adopted,
future development within this district would generate unsafe and dangerous conflicts
in traffic flow along C.R. 512.

(g) Expansion of uses to adjacent lot(s). An existing permitted land use within the C -512
District may be expanded to an adjacent lot or lots of less than 80 feet width providing the
following conditions are met and the planning and zoning commission approves the site plan
for the expansion:
(1) The subject lot or lots shall be under unified control with the adjoining subject
developed properties pursuant to section 54- 2- 5.3.1(e);
(2) All such extensions must be constructed as a contiguous extension to an existing
