What is the project
• Indian River Drive/Main Street Improvement Project
• Cornerstone of the Downtown District and CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency)
• Project Goals:
o Improve usability and safety of the Main Street boat ramp
o Improve ambiance of Main Street/Indian River Drive
o Create a"sense of place" for central downtown
o Protect and enhance the "view of the river"
o Improve traffic and pedestrian circulation and safety
Why we are here
• This is the first of several workshops with the City of Sebastian CRA
• To provide information to the public
• To receive input from the public
Why is the project necessary?,
• Improve access and safety of the boat ramp
A special report of the Parks/Recreation Committee concluded that the operation of the
boat ramp was an unsafe condition.
• Eliminate dangerous back-up parking on Main Street
The City Engineer had advised City Council that the parking situation was unsafe and a
motorist hazard.
• The CRA Report (2003) identified this area was in need of revitalization and improved safety
elements
• Improve the downtown riverfront theme
We want to provide a "sense of place"while incorporating the City's Riverfront/Old
Fishing Village theme.
• Better stormwater/pollution prevention controls to protect the Indian River
• Restoration of wetland vegetation along the shore of the Lagoon
What has been accomplished
• Meetings
o Sebastian City Manager and Staff—several meetings, most recently on 5/28/07
o Sebastian City Council Members—individual meeting with each Council member,
5/14/07 to 5/24/07
o Sebastian Property Owners' Association—with President on 6/2/07; with membership

o St. Johns River Water Management District—with Mark Crosby and Karen Garrett-
Kraus on 6/12/07; on-site meeting is scheduled for July 9, 2007
➢ Primary Issues:
• Eliminate Indian River Drive on-street parking
• Add parking(off-street) at northwest parcel
• Parking/improvements at Jordan Park/Chamber of Commerce—no consensus
• Boat trailer parking, circulation and staging area—ensure it is adequate
• Ensure view/aesthetics are priority
• Define Heritage Park area—use/improvements
• Traffic impacts to US 1/Main St—evaluate and ensure no impacts
• Survey has been started—most field work is done
• Geotechnical testing/soil borings—will commence next week
• Traffic study—will commence next week
• Prepared modified construction cost estimate for staff use in preparation of an application for a
State Grant (FIND—Florida Inland Navigation District)
• Prepared revised Conceptual Plan which considered issues identified in our
meetings/discussions
Review of the project proposal
• Safer/functional boat ramp
• Pedestrian safety
• Preservation of environmentally significant resources
o Shoreline and Live Oaks
• Un-obstructed view
• Usable green areas
• Chamber of Commerce requirements/Jordan Park improvements
• An improved ambiance and"sense of place" for Central Downtown
o Heritage Memorial area
o Jordan Park area
o Boat ramp/restroom/adjacent park area
o Main Street entrance/Oak tree focal point
o Lighting
o Pavers/other hardscape features
Goals for this meeting

NOTES:
SCHULKE, BITTLE& STODDARD,L.L.C.
CIVIL&STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING•LAND PLANNING•ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITTING
Outline—Meetings to Date June 27, 2007
Staff: (5/28/07)
- Eliminate Indian River Drive on-street"back-out" parking.
- Add additional off-street parking to NW parcel
- Move sidewalk closer to river and make non-linear
- Sensitive to Council direction on Jordan Park (Chamber property—see how Council directs us.
Council Members (5/14/07-5/24/07)
- Adequate traffic circulation/safety—increase intersection radii, clearly and visibly delineate re-aligned Indian
River Drive
- Provide buffer between project and adjacent properties.
- Jordan Park/Chamber—parking and other improvements: No consensus on needs. Members have diverse
opinions from providing no parking at all to providing per original plan.
- Hardy Oak tree— perhaps gather and plant acorns from tree to continue its legacy in case it is lost from
construction or disease.
- Economics— Design/build economically.
- Heritage area—Good idea. Need to define.
- View and aesthetics are important components.
- Boat trailer parking and maneuverability: Provide adequate parking and sufficient area to maneuver and
"staging area".
FDOT(5/17/07)
- In favor of plan in concept, and acknowledged public benefit(safety upgrades created with realignment, moving
boat parking and eliminating Main Street parking).
- Want"Synchro Analysis"—a traffic study— Main St./US1 and Main St./Indian River Drive—to make sure
realignment will not cause traffic to back up into US1.
IRC (5/22/07)
- In favor of plan in concept.
- Also wants to see synchro analysis—but thinks it will be fine.
- Has US1/Main St. intersection design (as it exists) in house, on paper. Has offered to provide redesign of
intersection signal plans at no cost to City. Anticipates having to modify eastbound Main Street approach to
US1 —signal and pavement markings.
SPOA(6/4/07)
- Although the meeting with SPOA was generally to introduce the project to the membership and encourage
public input and attendance at the CRA workshops, several concerns were voiced:
- Why is this project and its likely cost being pursued in lieu of other possible alternatives?
- Can the project design or construction be done for less money?
- Parking and improvements at Jordan Park/Chamber—several opinions, some in favor, some not.
- Boat trailer maneuverability/circulation — is there adequate room?
- Can the railroad station building be incorporated into this project?
- The view of the river is important.
- Provide phone/communications capability with emergency services at boat ramp in
restroom/breezeway area.
SJRWMD (6/12/07)
- Qualify for General Permit if we do not propose impacts to lagoon or wetlands.
- Address existing facilities/uses (boat ramp, rotary dock, existing Boudrot dock).
- Boat ramp/rotary dock: Provide documentation that City has obtained submerged land lease or
other state approval for existing uses—if none, then must apply for approval.
- Boudrot dock—transfer permit/lease to City (if one exists). Define use— recommend pier—docks
would be lengthy and arduous process.
- Address 10 year floodplain impacts— if any.
- Meet on-site to evaluate wetland limits shoreline conditions and preliminary evaluation of project impacts, if any.
A meeting is scheduled for July 9.
- Ensure we are proposing the same or less boat trailer parking. Otherwise, must re-permit boat ramp use as an
impact to state resources—addressing manatee protection, seagrass impacts, endangered species impacts,
address aquatic preserve rules (theory is—more parking equates to new/additional impacts).
