A voice vote was taken and the minutes were approved unanimously. OLD BUSINESS: NONE NEW BUSINESS: QUASI-JUDICIAL PUBLIC HEARING -CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS -NEW MODEL HOME PERMITS: 1. 1349 BARBER STREET -ADAMS HOMES OF NW FL, INC. Mr. Paul opened the hearings. Ms. Bosworth gave her report and noted the major concern was cars backing out on Barber Street. Adams Homes submitted two site plan scenarios and looked to the commission for approval on one of the plans. Mr. Steve Nickle of Adams Homes explained he would prefer the stacked parking in the long driveway rather than the spaces that would require vehicles to back out onto Barber Street. There was discussion about the parking layout. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF JULY 19, 2007 MOTION by Keough/Buchanan to approve the conditional use permit for a model home for Adams Homes at 1349 Barber Street with the stacked parking plan and a proviso that they apply for a renewal of their current model home as stipulated by the growth management department. ROLL CALL: Mr. Keough yes Mr. Buchanan yes Mr. Cardinale yes Mr. Paul yes Mr. Mahoney yes The vote was 5-0. Motion passed unanimously. 2. 915 ROSELAND ROAD - MARONDA HOMES Ms. Bosworth reviewed the application and pointed out they own the adjacent lot and that would be utilized for their parking. Jay Anuszewski of Maronda Homes gave more detail on the parking access from Tarpon. The commission was pleased with the site plan. MOTION by Keough/Paul to approve the conditional use permit for Maronda Homes at 915 Roseland Road. ROLL CALL: Mr. Mahoney yes Mr. Keough yes Mr. Buchanan yes Mr. Cardinale yes Mr. Paul yes The vote was 5-0. Motion passed unanimously. REQUEST TO MODIFY MODEL HOME PERMIT APPROVAL - 451 BRIARCLIFF CIRCLE - ASHBURY SUBDIVISION -ADAMS HOMES - TEMPORARY FRONT YARD PARKING TO PERMANENT PARKING Ms. Bosworth reviewed the model homes previously approved and the stipulation that they use the clubhouse parking. Ms. Grohall clarified that when this permit was approved, it was conditional that upon the club house obtaining a c/o, the model home would utilize the clubhouse parking lot. However, the applicant would like to keep the parking at the model home site and not move it. MOTION by Keough to approve a conditional use permit for a model home at 451 Briarcliff Circle with the conditions set forth in the letter from the homeowners association to use the clubhouse parking for the model home. After some discussion and no second the motion died. MOTION by Paul to keep the existing parking plan with the club house stipulation. Motion died for lack of a second. MOTION by Buchanan/Cardinale to approve the request as presented with the proviso that the homeowners association does not have a problem with the parking plan. ROLL CALL: Keough yes Mr. Paul yes Mr. Cardinale yes Mr. Mahoney yes Mr. Buchanan yes The vote was 5-0.

She noted that this site is grandfathered and the addition of the compact spaces would in fact decrease the non-conformity. Mr. Norbert Kreyer addressed the commission and explained the reason for the increase of only three spaces. Ms. Grohall stated that the code requires the Planning and Zoning Commission to approve parking plans with compact spaces. Ms. Bosworth continued her review regarding the landscape plan and what would be needed to bring the site into code compliance, which the presented plan did not meet. Mr. Paul explained to Mr. Kreyer that under the circumstances the commission could only review the parking plan presented tonight and once he submits a landscape plan that meets code or applies for a waiver or variance, then that issue will be addressed. MOTION by Keough/Cardinale to approve the compact parking spaces and re-striping of parking lot, at 1627 US Highway #1, Sebastian Center, and tabling the updated landscape plan. ROLL CALL: Mr. Paul yes Mr. Buchanan yes Mr. Keough yes Mr. Mahoney yes Mr. Cardinale yes The vote was 5-0. Motion passed unanimously. DISCUSSION -CHANGES TO LDC SECTION 54-2-6.4(29) -CONDITIONAL USE CRITERIA FOR MODEL HOMES Ms. Bosworth said in order for the city attorney to write suggested changes to the code he would like some guidance from the commission as to where they would like to go with the model home regulations. She reviewed key points of her memo particularly new model home permits to come before the commission but did they still want or need to review the renewals. The general consensus of the commission is for new model home applications to go before them and renewals also go before the board for approval only if there were code violations in the past year or if staff felt there was an issue that the Board should review. Having a one set date for renewals was also discussed. They also addressed the issue of "human signs", which are the signs held by someone on a street corner or in front of a business or property. Regarding parking requirements, the commission and growth management department agreed to keep it at 5 spaces with one of them handicap. Also, the commission agreed to keep the section on back-out parking as it is. Ms. Bosworth reviewed the other items in the model home section and the commission agreed to leave them as written. CHAIRMAN MATTERS: NONE MEMBERS MATTERS: 3 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF JULY 19, 2007 Mr. Keough mentioned a retention pond on Day Drive and a situation where a resident confronted someone cutting down Brazilian pepper trees. Ms. Grohall said she would look into it. If the pepper trees are on city land or in an easement, she could get it cleared however, if they are on private property, the city would have to get in touch with the property owner. She will contact public works department and get information. Mr. Mahoney asked about the status of Firehouse Garage. Ms. Grohall said City Council wanted the city attorney to look into remedies for his situation. IVIr. Cardinale asked if Mr. Kreyer would be able to meet the landscape code when he returns with his application. Ms. Grohall said he does have potential to comply with the regulations. Mr. Paul asked if the shrubbery overhanging on the sidewalks along CR 512 was the responsibility of the city or property owner. Ms. Grohall said they would look into that. Also, Mr. Paul asked about the status of the 512 Car Wash. Ms. Grohall said after he obtained the commission's approval to reduce the wall, he then wanted to make the wall even shorter. She said he would have to come before P&Z again as he cannot present one plan to this commission and a different one to city council. Ms. Quimby commented on the courtesy and professionalism this board gives to its members, staff and applicants. DIRECTOR MATTERS: Ms. Grohall updated the commission on the decision by city council to enter into litigation with the City of Fellsmere and the paperwork was filed today. She said the County Commission has called a special meeting for tomorrow afternoon to address this issue and if they would also consider entering into litigation. Ms. Bosworth gave an overview of the upcoming meetings. Mr. Paul repeated the notice that there is an open alternate position on this board. ATTORNEY MATTERS: NONE Mr. Paul adjourned the meeting at 8:47 p.m. (7/23/07 sbl) 4 1225 MAIN STREET ^ SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA 32958 TELEPHONE (772) 589-5518 ^ FAX (772) 388-8248 DATE: July 27, 2007 TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: c~`1~'Jan King RE: Request for Site Plan Extension Gables at Sebastian On September 15, 2005, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved a site plan for Gables at Sebastian, a 95-unit townhouse development located on Main Street between Powerline Road and Bob Circle. The project consists of 17 residential buildings and a clubhouse, together with associated parking, water and sewer service, drainage, and landscaping. Access to each unit will be accomplished via an internal road network with one point of access on Main Street and one point of access on Powerline Road. Conditions of approval included the following: 1. Execution of a Developers Agreement ,for a monetary contribution toward the construction of Powerline Road (roadway, stormwater system, traffic signage, markings, etc.). 2. Tree survey as noted in the staff report, to be provided. Revise landscape plan for perimeter landscape strip along west and south property lines to provide a Type "A" opaque screen. 4. Approval of site plan by Indian River County Fire Department and Environmental Health Department. 5. Relocation of required open space trees to the southern property line and behind pool house to provide 1 tree for every 17.5 feet. A neighboring property owner filed an appeal of the Planning and Zoning Commission approval, which was heard City Council on October 26, 2005. City Council upheld the approval, but did express concerns about two dead-end streets, even though the design met both City and Fire Department code. Subsequently, a minor modification of the original design was submitted in December of 2005 to provide T-turns at the dead-end streets, and was administratively approved. The original site plan was approved for aone-year period to expire on September 15, 2006. Pursuant to the Land Development Code Section 54-4-18.7, the Growth Management Director approved aone-year extension of the site plan with a new expiration date of September 15, 2007. Another modification was requested to reduce the square footage of the second floor with a small reduction to the square footage of the buildings. This created a slight reduction of the building area and impervious areas of the project. This was administratively approved on April 10, 2007. Attached is a letter from Bruce Barkett, attorney for Best Housing I, LLC, requesting another site plan extension. The Land Development Code only allows administrative approved for a single one-year period. Therefore, this request must be heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission. For your review, staff has provided a copy of the approved site plan and the original staff report. The site plan reflects compliance with current RM-8 zoning townhouse requirements, including minimum lot size, setback standards, open space requirements, parking, water and sewer service, drainage, and landscaping. The conditions of approval, as noted above, have already been satisfied, including execution of the developers agreement and payment of $15,000 to the City for future improvements to Powerline Road. The owners have also agreed to convert their gopher tortoise "take" permit to a "relocation" permit, in accordance with the new city policy. On July 25, 2007, City Council adopted Resolution R-07-29 approving an 18-month extension to the preliminary plat. Because of the need to have both site plan approval and preliminary plat approval for a townhouse project, staff recommends approval of an 18-month extension to the site plan, to run concurrently with the preliminary plat approval.

This letter is to request an eighteen-month extension of time to record the final plat for the subdivision, and further to request simultaneously an eighteen-month extension of time for site plan approval, so that the deadline for final plat recording and for site plan commencement coincide with each other. As you know, market conditions are simply not favorable for construction at this time. My client, Best Housing I, LLC, could simply bond off the final plat, record it, clear the land, and then proceed with construction at a very slow pace; however, that could result in a large, unsightly cleared parcel of property, with minimal activity, over a long period of time, and for no good reason. We have seen other examples of this in the County, and it does not look good. Best Housing feels it would be better for itself, and it would be better to help maintain its good relationship with the City of Sebastian, to simply extend the time within which it is required to record the final plat and to commence with site development. That way, when land clearing and land development begin, it can proceed at a good faith pace, which will not leave a scarred landscape within the City of Sebastian for a lengthy period of time. ®ll~ll.n~y JU1II°®WTYdy ~~~~~~~~9 IU1a~llr~~~~ ~Y `Llla~II°~aT¢`d~~Ila~ CHARTERED - ATTORNEYS AT LAW 756 BEACHLAND BOULEVARD VERO BEACH, FLORIDA 32963 PLEASE REPLY TO: POST OFFICE BOX 64-3686 VERO BEACH FC.ORIDA 3296q-3686 772-231-4343 TELEFAX: 772-Z34- 5213 MTERNET'.

Notwithstanding that compliance with the City's new policy will cost Best Housing tens of thousands of dollars, it is attempting to be a good neighbor and remain in good standing with Sebastian.

PUBLISHED: JULY 20, 2007 To: Planning & Zoning Commission From: Rich Stringer, City Attorney Date: July 29, 2007 Re: LDC Amendment Proposal for Ordinance 0-07-04 The City has long endeavored to protect the river vista for the enjoyment of the public. One step taken in the past was to limit building height east of Indian River Drive to 25 feet rather than the general limit of 35 feet. With the downward slope in grade to the z•iver from US Highway 1, in particular, it would seem tl^ at this limit would maintain the river as a visual backdrop. However, our regulations .zllow building height to be measured from the base flood elevation. The result has been buildings east of Indian River Drive that approach the height as those on the west side. Council has asked that this issue be examined with the goal of developing a regulation that reasonably balances the desire for open vistas and environmental responsibility with propezty rights and flood safety issues for properties east of Indian River Drive. The proposal eliminates tl~e special provision for measuring building height from base flood elevations and, in its place, utilizes the natural elevations. This is in line with recent actions by the City of Vero Beach. 1=[owever, if a site has lawfully been filled prior to August 1, 2007, which will hamper the ability to effectively establish natural elevations, we would measure from the finished construction grade. Currently, portions of a building below the flood elevation line are allowed to be used for "non- living" quarters such as utility rooms, and then an additional twenty-five foot residence can be built over this. Tlus results in a "utilized" building in excess of tl2e 25 foot height limit. Under the proposed regulation, thi ~ usable area below the flood elevation will count towards the overall building height of 25 feet. Looking at the FEMA map;, most areas have 5 - 6 foot flood elevations, there are a few 8 to 9 foot areas around the public facilities at the Yacht Club. In the worse case scenario (which, remember, results from natuual factors that make the land obviously less suitable for building to begin with), the builder will be left with 16 feet for living area and a roof, which is more than sufficient for a single story structure. Of course, variances are available where a true hardship exists. Ce: City Manager Growth Managemen LDR 54-2-5.10 Size and dimension criteria (2) Height regulations and exceptions thereto. The term '`building height" as used in the land development regulations shall mean the vertical distance from either the ' • natural elevation or the average construction grade, which ever is ~ lower , of all exterior corners of a structure to the highest point of the building, not including those structuures specifically permitted to extent beyond the height of thy: building.
