The City Manager listed FY 2006 accomplishments realized with CRA funds in the
amount of $530,680, discussed possible projects for FY 2007 using combined FY 2006
and 2007 funds; and then listed proposed expenses/projects for FY 2007.
He individually described and justified the following proposed projects:
o CavcorplYacht Club Improvements
o Turf Block Surface for Cavcorp Parking
o Indian River Drive/Main Street Project
He presented a series of plans showing attempts to utilize the space around the Main
Street ramp and then displayed a new concept received today showing City ownership
of the Boudrot property which greatly enhances the area.
Discussion followed between members of Council and the City Manager about recent
discussions between City staff and Ms. Boudrot about the City purchasing the property
and then with Ms. Boudrot regarding her current building plans. She said she had first
heard of this yesterday and could go either way and discussed her thoughts of what her
home will be surrounded by, what insurance may cost in the future, and whether this
property should be a part of the City. In response to Mr. Paternoster she said she had
been approached by the Growth Management Director about a month ago, and that she
had not had anyone really discuss a price with her. The City Manager said Ms.
Boudrot's fa<<;ade grant would be returned if her building improvements were not
realized.
Lisanne Monier, Riverfront District, encouraged Council to consider the second half of
the presented projects to enhance, protect and unify the entire district. She said she did
not believe Riverview Park parking was an emergency and recommended not
piecemealing with a Bmero sign but unify with lighting and sidewalks. She cautioned if
rolled back rate is too low we could lose CRA funds.
@:
The City Manager said the City Attorney had investigated and he interprets that since
our CRA was formed before 2006-2007 the City is not affected by a new law recently
adopted relative to tax increment funds.
Ms. Monier cited her summer travels throughout Michigan and small town districts with
old street lamps, hanging potted plants, landscaped median strips, etc. and said it adds
so much to an area and brings people in.
Joe Scarrizi, said he had been making attempts to lease a property at the corner of US 1
and Main Street since December 2005 for his motorcycle leather retail business and was
trying to beautify the property but said he was being stonewalled by the City. He
described his prepared plans, noting his plans show trees located on city property and
said he was told he had to move the landscaping onto his own property and as a result
he will not have sufficient parking. He said the building is planned for demolition in 2008
for a three-story building by the property owner, and requested approval to get into the
building for one year.
Mr. Paternoster said he was concerned when he says he was being stonewalled, and
Mr. Scarrizi began his response, however, he was advised this had nothing to do with
CRA. The City Attorney said if he disagrees with staff determination he needs to file an
2

appeal. Mayor Burkeen encouraged him to file the appeal. The City Attorney told him to
have his attorney to contact him and he would advise him of the process.
Damien Gilliams recommended the City buy the Boudrot property, which his family used
to own, and that they should buy the Olmstead property; agreed with Ms. Monier about
not paving CA Vcorp, and said he would like to see operating costs and update on the
Billero project.
Mr. Neglia asked what happened to the Billero & Billero project, said he was not in favor
of paving CAVCorp, urged staff to get going on the Yacht Club improvements, and said
he had a lot of doubts on the Boudrot property and would like to see more about it.
The City Attorney said Mr. Billero was given a lease agreement approximately seven
months ago, and the whole project hinges on what Mr. Billero wants to do with his
property.
Ms. Coy said she was tired of waiting for the gateway project, and the City Attorney
explained the market issue hold up on the part of Mr. Billero.
Discussion took place on imposing a time limit for this project.
Ms. Coy said she liked the idea of purchasing the Boudrotproperty, liked the colored
conceptual drawing of the Main Street/Indian River Drive, and did not want to see
cement on the CA VCorp.
Mayor Burkeen suggested giving Mr. Billero three months, and said he did not want to
pave CA VCorp rather look at beautifying it and finding parking spaces elsewhere.
Mr. Paternoster agreed he did not want to see CAVCorp paved, though the property was
in need of repair; said the US 1 corridor needs a lot of repair completed from the
hurricanes, citing the CITGO station and business signs, and asked what plans there are
for the boat ramps and piers. The City Manager responded that if they can expand into
the Boudrot property they can enhance the entire area.
The City Manager asked for a consensus of Council to pursue the property and then
obtaining appraisals for the fair market value of the Boudrot property. Mr. Paternoster
asked for specifics in the Main Street/Indian River Drive district such as road widths,
traffic patterns, etc. Peter Jones said although what was presented was a conceptual
plan, it is based on engineering principles and said he could obtain the information Mr.
Paternoster was seeking from his staff and provide it to the City Manager.
Mr. Paternoster recommended finishing up the Yacht Club with extension of the finger
pier or a floating dock to help alleviate boating backup, a lift for the police boat, said we
have to work ardently with aU businesses in the CRA District, and said the splash pad
was worth the money that was spent on it.
On MOTION by Ms. Coy and SECOND by Mr. Paternoster, Council recommended the
Billero/Sebastian gateway project be limited to three more months and then consider G.-'"
discontinuation on a roll call of 4-0. r .

The City Manager recapped what he is hearing:
1) Council does not want to do turf block the CA VCorp lot but keep some funding for
redefining parking and do some beautification and landscaping;
2) Council is interested in moving ahead with the Main Street/Indian River Drive project
whereby we look at the Boudrot property for which we should seek a couple of
appraisals
Mr. Paternoster asked again for the general information on the Main Street/Indian River
Drive improvement and Mr. Jones said he would provide it. The City Manager said he
can provide that information before the next CRA.
Mr. Neglia asked for a price for the demolition of the Boudrot house. The City Manager
said the cost of demolition would be approximately $2,500 to $5,000 comparing it to the
demolition of the Cain House. Mr. Neglia said he would rather have him come back with
a number.
3) Council is in agreement with Riverview Park lighting and FSL program
Mr. Neglia asked the status of the bandshell and the City Manager responded it is on its
way.
The City Attorney said as reported to him by Chris McCarthy the bandshell is being
constructed and will be delivered the first week of November.
MOTION by Mr. Paternoster and SECOND by Ms. Coy to have the City Manager go
ahead with appropriate action to put a budget together and for other matters that are
necessary for the CRA'
Mr. Gilliams recommended instructing the City Attorney to go into a purchase sale
agreement with Ms. Boudrot.
Roll call on the motion carried 4-0.
6. Being no further businsess, Mayor Burkeen adjourned the CRA meeting at 5:43 p.m.

SUMMARY
At our last CRA meeting on September 7, 2006, I provided you with a report concerning plans for
future redevelopment project. The cornerstone of that presentation was the proposal to consider
the redesign of the Main Street and Indian River Drive intersection. The goals of this project are
numerous and include (1) improved usability and safety of Main Street Boat Ramp; (2)
improved ambiance of Main Street/US 1 intersection; (3) create "Since of Place" for central
downtown; (4) protect and enhance "View of the River" and, (5) improved traffic and pedestrian
circulation and safety. To achieve theses goals it was suggested that additional property be
purchased and a conceptual drawing was presented for your consideration.
In response to this presentation, Council requested additional data concerning the exact
engineering specifications for the design concept. While we are not yet to a design stage, the
concept rendering did not provide dimensions and data showing the feasibility of the design.
Enclosed for your review is a memorandum from Peter Jones of Neel-Schaffer, Inc, providing that
data. Although the data is not up to design standards, it does provide support, which indicates
that the concept can be designed properly and redeveloped in a fashion that is shown by the
rendering.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
No financial obligation is required at this time. However, should the CRA move to begin the
Indian River Drive/Main Street Project, land purchasing and other construction estimates predict a
project over the $1,000,000 range. This amount is very affordable for the CRA and is the exact
purpose of the incremental financing. At this time, Staff does recommend a further investigation
of the project by causing the execution of a land appraisal. Moving forward would include steps
such as (1) land acquisition; (2) design; and, (3) construction.

CC:
Per the CRA Board/City Council meeting last week and our discussion regarding the
engineering/planning design parameters Neel-Schaffer, Inc. used in developing the rendered
proposed plan for recommended improvements to the Main Street Boat ramp and the
intersections of Main Street and U.S. Highway One and Main Street and Indian River Drive, the
following is for your information:
1. The proposed realignment of Indian River Drive (curve to the west), allowing for the
development of boat trailer parking on the east side of Indian River Drive, took into
consideration the need to provide enough stacking length in both directions for the
segment of Main Street between U.S. Highway One and Indian River Drive.
2. This section of Main Street provides for five (5) lanes, separated by a curbed median (with
landscaping), of 12 feet each. The plan proposes two (2) eastbound lanes and three (3)
westbound (including a left-turn lane on to U.S. Highway One), of 12 feet each.
There is to be no parking or access to this segment of main Street. This section will also
be curbed (final curb type to be determined).
3. The proposed re-alignment of Indian River Drive provides for two lanes (12 feet each
way), with a 4 foot shoulder each side and a "Miami" (modified) curb each side.
4. Turning radii at intersections is designed for 35 feet.
5. In and around the Boat ramp and proposed boat-trailer parking and circulation, turning
radius for vehicles with boat and trailers is 35' (inside radius). The average boat-trailer
vehicle parking space is 10 feet wide by 45 feet in length. The circulation drives on
average are 20 feet wide (16 feet may be used as a minimum).
As we discussed, the rendered plan, although conceptual, does reflect sound engineering design
practice. Should you have questions regarding any or all of the above, pleas do not hesitate to
call.
