A. Approval of Minutes — July 11, 2012 Regular Meeting 12.095 B. Approve Road Closures for American Cancer Society Great Strides Walk — Indian River Drive from Coolidge South to South City Limit, Sebastian Boulevard from East of Hess to Indian River Drive and Harrison Street from Just Past Parking Entrance East to Indian River Drive on Saturday, 10/20/12 from 8:30 am to Noon and Consider Request to Waive $350 Fee for Use of City Mobile Stage (Parks Transmittal, Permit Application, City Mobile Stage Application, Aerial Map) 12.051 C. Request from Sebastian River Area Chamber of Commerce for Candidate Forum in Accordance with City Broadcast Policy on 10/23/12 from 7 pm to 9 pm (City Clerk Transmittal) Mayor Hill removed item B. MOTION by Ms. Coy and SECOND by Mr. Wright to approve items A and C passed with a voice vote of 5-0. Item B. Mayor Hill said some of the businesses along Indian River Drive have expressed concerns with the closure of Indian River Drive during the morning hours and asked how the City can work with the businesses. � Regular City Council Meeting July 25, 2012 Page Three 6:57 pm The City Manager said staff does the best they can for the major events but the complaints derive from some of the non-major events so they try not to schedule many road closures, he offered to reduce the closure to allow access to the tackle shop, and erect signage. Mr. Wright said they should consider how many events with road closures they are going to allow in the course of a year, he suggested setting up closures closer to Main Street so it would not have an effect on the businesses. Mayor Hill said these events bring people to the area where the businesses are showcased and they need to find a way to allow access while the closures are taking place. Mr. Wright said he would like to limit the number of times they prevent access to the businesses and find different ways to route access noting the loss of income for one Saturday makes up a quarter loss for one month. Ms. Coy said she thought the standard stage policy for non-profits was a 50% discount and asked what other organizations receive the stage free. The Parks Superintendent said the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life and the Sebastian River High School Graduation received the stage at no cost. Ms. Coy cautioned they were setting a precedent and suggested using the standard 50% fee reduction. Mr. Wright asked what were the guidelines they passed a couple of years ago for the stage and the City Manager said it was left to staff discretion who have brought non- profit organizations, schools and other governmental organizations to Council for approval, but given churches a 50% discount, and have everyone else pays full price; however, based on Council's direction he would adjust the request accordingly. Mr. Gillmor said the standard rate is $500, the event will take up the whole park, they need to set a precedence and stay there, the stage is an $80,000 piece of equipment, manpower is required to set up and take down, and it's reasonable to stay at $250.00 for non-profits. MOTION by Mr. Gillmor and SECOND by Ms. Coy to approve the closure of Indian River Drive from Coolidge south to City limits, Sebastian Boulevard east from the Hess Station to Indian River Drive and Harrison Street just past parking entrance to Indian River Drive. He said staff will try to shorten the leg on Sebastian Boulevard to allow access to the businesses through Cavcorp to Coolidge and strike out the waiver of the $350.00 fee for the mobile stag. The motion passed with a voice vote of 5-0. 8. COMMITTEE REPORTS & APPOINTMENTS City committee reports and Council Member regional committee reports. No public input or action except for City committee member nominations and appointments under this heading. Senior Steerinq Committee Ms. Coy reported that the current Home Depot grant cycle has passed and the new cycle will not be awarded until September which will not accommodate her plan to open the Senior Center in the former Public Works building by September 1 St Regular City Council Meeting July 25, 2012 Page Four She asked permission from Council to set up an account to receive monetary donations from the public who can make checks payable to the City of Sebastian with a notation in the memo line that the money is for the Senior Center. She said Home Depot was willing to provide the work detail. In response to Mayor Hill, she said the minimum they hope to raise is $3,000 but a new air conditioner will be needed soon, making her personal goal $10,000 but they would gladly accept whatever the community will come up with. It was the consensus of Council to allow the account to be set up. In response to Mr. Wright, she said her specific goals, as money comes in, would be to install a new vinyl floor, paint the walls, a new toilet, replace the ceiling fans, and then card tables, shelving areas; and down the road a new refrigerator. Ms. Coy made the official call to the public and asked that checks be made payable to the City of Sebastian and in the memo write For Senior Center Project and they could be dropped off at the City Hall cashier or mailed to 1225 Main Street, Sebastian, FL 32958. She said she would be happy to answer any specific questions or pick up any donations by calling her at 388-0961 and their grand opening is planned for right after Labor Day. 9. PUBLIC HEARING - None 10. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 12.055 A. Cavcorp Improvement Proiect Update (Community Development Transmittal, La out The City Manager said he hoped to receive approval or modifications based on discussion and then go to the public hearing phase to receive input. Frank Hickson, Infrastructure Engineers, displayed Layout 11-6 which incorporated the comments from the last meeting and noted that directional flow is set to sustain two-way traffic throughout the lot, the ponds are outside the parking area, and Mr. Wright's exit lanes are on the south side, but not the east side, providing the ability to create car parking by the oak trees. He said directional parking along Coolidge would lose spots and cause operational issue for entering and exiting. David Bennett, Senior Drainage Engineer, said SJRWMD has allowed the 300 ft ditch along Indian River Drive to be a storm sewer carrying untreated water with a shallow swale on top of it. Mr. Bennett also said SJRWMD is also allowing a tradeoff from Coolidge StreeYs runoff for Sebastian Boulevard's runoff into the Indian River Drive swale. He explained that they have to provide an additional treatment volume making the requirements difficult to attain and so far, what has been presented is cutting it close. In response to Mr. Wright, Mr. Hickson said there is a sidewalk on the north side of Coolidge going east towards Squiddly's books and then turns south across Coolidge into Cavcorp, then east through the lot. 0 Regular City Council Meeting July 25, 2012 Page Five 7:26 pm Mr. Wright asked if angling the spaces on the south side of Coolidge would give more room. Mr. Hickson explained the perpendicular spots provided more spots. The City Manager said they wanted to gain spots but also have the parking lot easily accessible, from either direction. Ms. Coy said she didn't think they have enough car parking and suggested changing the six boat slots on the Sebastian Boulevard side to double car slots divided by a hedge row. She said this past Saturday at 10:30 a.m., there were 35 boat trailers using half of the lot but every car spot was used along the river, people were walking up and down enjoying the Park and waterFront. Mr. Hill reminded Council that the lot was purchased as a boat trailer parking lot to accommodate the Yacht Club ramp and asked how many car spots were added. Mr. Hickson said the lot has 45 in the lot and 28 on Coolidge Street, totaling 73 spots. He said he liked where they are going with this and he understood the dynamics of the drainage and lack of asphalt and wanted to go forward with the knowledge that the City purchased the property for boat parking. Mr. Gillmor said he concurs, Infrastructure Engineers has done a yeoman's job of getting car parking along with the boat parking, and they couldn't ask for too much more. Mayor Hill pointed out that staff has the discretion to turn the entire lot into car parking for major events. Mr. McPartlan said he liked the plan, they could go forward to get public input, and bring it back for finalization, agreeing that Infrastructure Engineers did a great job. Mr. Wright said at the end of day, it doesn't have everything he would like but it is very close, they managed the water situation, and almost all of the trailer spots can accommodate two car parking except for the north side. Public Input Damien Gilliams said it was a great plan, but too bad the engineers couldn't look at the overFlow parking at the same time to save money. The City Manager said he would get back with Infrastructure Engineers, set up the public hearing for late August, come back to Council for final approval, then design and bid. 11. PUBLIC INPUT Kathleen Egan said she lives at Orange Avenue & Columbus Street & Powerline Road where a man blasts his Harley Davidson motorcycle every morning between 6:25 and 6:37 a.m. She said the Police Department has responded but they cannot do anything and since Code Enforcement Division doesn't open until 7:30 a.m. she asked that the Division open early to catch the people who blast the motorcycle, have barking dogs and mowing machines. The City Manager asked her to speak to Chief Morris about having a citation issued by a Police Officer. Ben Hocker, Sebastian, said he didn't feel Council has adequately followed the Working Watertront project based on the article in the paper today. He suggested they look at the plan to see where it went astray and do something about it. Regular City Council Meeting July 25, 2012 Page Six Damien Gilliams said his heart goes out to Mrs. Egan, as the noise ordinance doesn't involve a decibel reader so it is tough to enforce. He congratulated Ms. Coy for her work on the Senior Center, he would like to see each member contribute $100 and if they do, he will donate $100 as well. 7:35 pm Mr. Gilliams said they give money away to non-budgeted memorials, non-profits located outside the City limits, millions to fishermen on Indian River Drive but can't find $10,000 to help the senior citizens. 12. NEW BUSINESS 12.096 A First Readinq of Ordinance No. 0-12-08 — Code of Ordinances Chapter 26 — Buildings and Building Requlations — Schedule Public Hearing for 8/22/12 (Buildinq Official Transmittal. 0-12-08, Chapter 26 w/Markup showinq amendments, Exhibit A Countv Wind Speed Map, BOAF Model Administrative Code for 2010 Buildinq Code) 7:48 pm AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA, AMENDING, REVISING AND UPDATING CHAPTER 26 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES RELATING TO BUILDING AND BUILDING REGULATIONS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; CONFLICTS AND EFFECTIVE DATE. The City Attorney read the title of Ordinance No. 0-12-08. The City Manager said the City must adopt the State's new wind code and at the same time the Building Director wanted to take the opportunity to streamline the City's building codes to make them user friendly. The Building Director gave a PowerPoint presentation. (See attached) Mr. Wright asked if some one is licensed in Indian River County, do they need to be licensed again in Sebastian. The Building Director said every jurisdiction keeps tracks of licensing to make sure contractors are licensed, have liability insurance and workers' comp; and the City accepts letters of reciprocity from other local jurisdictions. Mr. Wright asked how the ordinance affects existing structures within the City and were there any changes not mandatory. The Building Director said the new wind speeds went into effect March 2012 and this ordinance designates the City's wind speed at 160, and it does not affect any existing buildings. Ms. Coy asked if there is more than 50% damage, does a structure need to be reconstructed to the new wind speed. The Building Director said there is more than one 50% rule, but generally speaking substantial structural damage would have to be brought up to code. The City Attorney said this was an unusual agenda item and pages 21-60 were the clean copy of the proposed ordinance, and pages 61-138 have the same language with notes, cross-outs, and additions by the Building Director. MOTION by Ms. Coy and SECOND by Mr. Gillmor to approve 0-12-08 on first reading. 0 Regular City Council Meeting July 25, 2012 Page Seven Public Input Damien Gilliams corrected the Building Director and said the requirement to rebuild is not based on 50%, but who you know in the Building Department. Mayor Hill interrupted him, gaveled, and said we would not allow baseless accusations at this lectern. Mr. Gilliams interrupted saying his accusation was based on permits issued for Hurricane Harbor. Mayor Hill warned him that he would be removed if he interrupted again. Mr. Gilliams continued and Mayor Hill said he was done. Mayor Hill recessed the meeting at 7:54 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 8:02 p.m., all members were present. Result of the roll call vote: AYES: All NAYS: None Passed 5-0. The City Attorney announced the public hearing would be August 22"d, 2012. 12.097 B Resolution No. R-12-19 — Establish Account with Invest Financial Services �Finance Director Transmittal, R-12-19) A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN AN ACCOUNT WITH INVEST FINANCIAL SERVICES; MAKE PROVISIONS FOR OFFICERS AUTHORIZED TO ACT ON THE CITY'S BEHALF AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH CITY INVESTMENT POLICIES; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. The City Attorney read the title of Resolution R-12-19. The Finance Director said in making Seacoast National Bank our depository, this makes it possible to open a safe- keeping account with the contractor that monitors and keeps us in compliance with our investments. MOTION by Mr. Wright and SECOND by Mr. Gillmor to approve Resolution No. R-12-19 Result of the roll call vote: AYES: All NAYS: None Passed 5-0. 12.069 C Review FLC Charter and Bv-Laws Amendments and Reach Consensus for Votinq Deleaate McPartlan for FLC Conference Business Session on 8/25/12 (City Clerk Transmittal, Letter, Proposed Amendments) Mayor Hill said Amendment 9 requiring the nominating committee be appointed six months before the meeting provides for more politicking. Mr. Gillmor explained as a FLC Executive Board Member, there was a push to provide more time for candidates to make the rounds at the various leagues to seek endorsement. Mayor Hill said it made sense that candidates would want to target their audience and offered his support. Ms. Coy said she had issues with Amendments 5, 6, and 7, as all three extend the president of the board a lot of decision making and power that currently is held by the executive board. 7 Regular City Council Meeting July 25, 2012 Page Eight She said the executive board should be the major governing body, noting the president is the figure head with the board making decisions; and, what really upset her is reason for the change is to conform the current practice which is violating their own by-laws. Mr. Gillmor said Amendment 7 is allowing the director to execute contracts the board has already approved, noting the board only meets three times a year. Mayor Hill noted the lack of ineeting times requires these things take place and the fact that they are not following the rules is not a good reason to change them but because they are cumbersome is a good reason to change them. Mr. Wright said it is not necessary to have a meeting to get the consensus of a 8:13 pm committee, but he shares Ms. Coy's concern about turning it into a dictatorial body operating out of the concept of the political process with checks and balances, allowing the director to act without formal board approval, which concerns him as to how the League is run, and is reason enough to object. Mr. McPartlan said he did not have any problems with the amendments but he understands their concerns as the voting delegate, he offered to raise their concerns or consider additional discussion at the conference and vote accordingly. Council gave Mr. McPartlan the authority to act as necessary. 13. CITY ATTORNEY MATTERS — None. 14. CITY MANAGER MATTERS — None. 15. CITY CLERK MATTERS 12. A. Brief Report on November 6, 2012 City Council Election (Report, Citv Charter Candidate Qualification, Election Schedule) The City Clerk reported that candidate qualifying for the November 6, 2012 City general election for two Council seats with two year terms begins on August 23 and ends on September 7, 2012, and candidate packets are available in the City Clerks office Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or on-line at www.citvofsebastian.orq; and there are two pre-qualified candidates so far. She also said early voting will take place in the Sebastian City Council Chambers and at other locations in the County from Saturday, August 4 through Saturday, August 11, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and for the General Election from Saturday, October 27 through November 3, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. She said voter registration and precinct information can be obtained at the Supervisor of Elections office at voteindianriver.com or by calling 266-3440. : Regular City Council Meeting July 25, 2012 Page Nine 16. CITY COUNCIL MATTERS A. Vice Mavor Wriqht Mr. Wright said he read the Working WaterFront article in the paper today and said he would have preferred to know if something like that was coming out as the article had more details than what has been confirmed to Council. E. Mavor Hill Mayor Hill re-announced the August 8th Regular City Council meeting has been cancelled, and invited the public to join Council for the August 22nd meeting. B. Council Member Cov Ms. Coy asked the public to donate to the Senior Center project by making their check payable to the City of Sebastian with Senior Center Project noted in the memo line and they could call her with any questions at 388-0961. C. Council Member Gillmor Mr. Gillmor asked the Community Development Director to give a report on the turbines at the Airport. The Community Development Director said the recent newspaper article had the unintended consequence of lighting a fire where it shouldn't have been lit; but the turbines are working as advertised and initially when started in May 2011 there were problems so they didn't go into operation until March 2012 but they are currently working. He offered to report back as requested. D. Council Member McPartlan Mr. McPartlan asked if the Community Development Director was able to get the turbines' warranty extended. 17. Being no further business, Mayor Hill adjourned the regular meeting at 8:23 pm �d at the August 22"d, 2012 Regu/ar City Council meeting. Mayor A7`TE : ,� (._. , � . � ' � � �-�- � �� Sally A.

Part V Fiood Plain Provisions • Flood plain provisions now inserted into the Florida Building Code. FEMA recognizes the flood provisions in the International Code, which used as the base code for FBC, as consistent with NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) for buildings and structures. This is Important for communities who participate in NF{P for reduced flood insurance premiums. • A design professional will need to determine effect of flood loads on buildings and structures in high hazard flood areas. These are flood zanes A, V and X-shaded on the flood maps. • Minimum Plan Review Criteria : Identify flood hazard area, DFE (design flood elevation) based on flood zone requirements, finish floor, enclosures and any flood resistant materials. The building Code refers to ASCE-24 for flood resistant construction design requirements. • Elevation certificate from a licensed surveyor is required after slab is poured and before vertical construction. Final (as-built) elevation certificate required prior to Certificate of Occupancy. • Equipment in flood hazard areas shall be elevated above the BFE or meet specific performance expectations ie: mechanical, electrical, and propane tanks w/ tie downs. • Existing Buildings: Substantial damage or improvements require campliance with new construction. The 50% rule- cost of repairs or improvements exceeds the market value of the building wlo the land by more than 50%..
