Subject: Rolf Zurstrassen — Cost Share Agreement
Residential Property on Concha Drive
Please find the attached background information relative to a cost -share agreement
between a Mr. Rolf Zurstrassen and the City of Sebastian (executed in 1997) for culvert
pipe installation for an incompletely constructed home located at 415 Concha Drive (I
believe that this is the correct address). Essentially, Mr. Zurstrassen is seeking
payment for the aforementioned improvements, a $7,750 expenditure. Earlier this
morning, both Martha Campbell and I met with Mr. Zurstrassen. I explained that we
would get back to him so as to resolve this matter, once proper investigation is
complete. What are your thoughts, if any, with regard to such situation? My position is
if we bound by such a contract, then the City must obviously pay. However, if other
circumstances exist which relieved us of this arrangement, let me know so as to
.\ prose d accordingly.

SUMMARY STATEMENT
Recently, building permits were applied for on Lots 14 and 15, BIock 293, Unit 11, Sebastian
Highlands for Klaus and Rolf Zurstrassen. Both houses are the same size, approximately 2,700
square feet each. Their widths are such that they comply with the minimum required side yard
setback of 10 feet each.
Lying between the two proposed homes are two 6 foot drainage and utility easements providing
for a total of 12 feet to accommodate a large drainage outfall ditch. The original design by
General Development Corporation (GDC) represented an out fall ditch typically being 1 % feet
deep and 12 feet wide providing for a 3:1 slope. However their actual elevation data concluded
that the ditch near the outfall at the bulkhead would be approximately 6 feet deep. A six foot
deep ditch with a 3:1 slope as represented would require a minimum width of 48 feet. Instead,
the end product becomes a 12 foot wide 6 foot deep ditch with side slopes of 1:1. The reality is
that a ditch with a 1 :1 slope cannot be maintained; it will sough off over time.
Considering the setbacks of the two houses, this is going to duplicate the situation Mrs. Millie
Edwards brought to the individual Council Members attention.
The solution to the problem is to pipe the ditch prior to the construction of the two houses. Mr.
Rolf Zurstrassen contacted the City relative to the problem and has suggested some form of cost
sharing between he and his brother and the City of Sebastian.
The City Engineer undertook a cost estimate to pipe the ditch. Predicated on the need to go
through the bulkhead and install a drop bottom catch basin, it was concluded that if any cost
sharing be considered, that it only be for those portions of the project directly impacting the
piping project. Those particular items are the installation of the catch basin and the work going
through the bulkhead. Those costs are estimated at $7,750. The cost of the permit could vary
between $100 and $500.
The City would propose a cost share of a maximum amount riot exceed $8,000 including the cost
of the permit. The intent would be to enter into a funding agreement wherein, the Zurstra.sseens
would take the responsibility for the actual installation with the City contributing up to an
amount not to exceed $$,000 including permit. The City would undertake the actual expediting
of the permit with Water Management District. The estimated cost for the total project is
$19,310. In this scenario, the property owners would be assuming an estimated cost of $11,310.
Considering the potential liability and the potential increased costs that could occur if the outfffl
ditch had to be piped after the homes were completed, it is logical to pipe the ditch now. And,
since the property owner is offering to proceed under these terms, it seems that this would be a
good solution to avoiding a problem in the future.
RECOIV MNDED ACTION
If the Council is in agreement based on the facts as outlined, move to approve the proposal such
that staff would prepare a cost share agreement for the Council Consideration at the August 27,
1947 meeting. The proposed funding source for this expenditure would be from the perimeter
pipe program as reflected within the Capital Improvements Program.
