Sandra Molina, Keiser College student, addressed the Board regarding her concerns about
animal licensing laws and fees. She discussed the current costs and fees and proposed that the
County absorb some of the costs similar to what is done in Tennessee. She then explained the
policy there and asked that the Board consider helping to reduce costs to the citizens.
Drew Averett, Keiser College student, addressed the Board regarding his concerns about littering
at Veterans Memorial Park. He suggested that they have an officer present and also talked
about potential punishment for violators.
Danny Reiser, Keiser College student, addressed the Board regarding using earthworm castings
as an organic substitute for park maintenance. He explained that this increases roots and
longevity of plants and talked about the other benefits of using this product.

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, August 20, 2013 9:00 AM
Commissioner Dzadovsky questioned what happens when the properties
don't sell and asked if the County has to maintain them.
Staff responded that is correct.
Commissioner Dzadovsky talked about the idea of using some of the vacant
properties for community gardens and questioned if that would be something
that the Board would support.
Commissioner Mowery commented that he has no problem with the idea, he
just wants to make sure that they are maintained as some of recently
developed gardens in Fort Pierce have not been properly maintained.
Commissioner Dzadovsky said that he doesn't expect to have an answer
today. He was unaware of some of the issues so suggested they just look
into the idea.
Commissioner Johnson discussed finding out who's responsible for the
garden and addressing permanent upkeep as he feels the situation is
promising.
Commissioner Mowery reiterated his concerns and provided examples.
Commissioner Johnson stated he thinks it can work, they just needed to find
someone to be responsible.

B. ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES
ORDINANCE - Shoreline Protection Section of the Land Development Code
Staff gave a presentation, "Shoreline Protection Code Revision" (filed with
the Clerk) and advised the Board that this is the first of two public hearings.
Commissioner Dzadovsky addressed his concerns regarding nutrients going
into our waterways and the discharges from Lake Okeechobee. He
appreciates the efforts of the Environmental Resources Department and feels
this is long overdue. They have come up with a lot of great opportunities to
help development occur. He discussed prohibited structures such as septic
tanks, lift stations and flood areas and stopping the leaching fields from
ending up in our waterways.
Staff responded that there's a section the code that defines two different
zones. She discussed the specifics of the code and explained that Zone A is
the required planted vegetation buffer. Zone B is 300 feet from the mean
high water line and prohibits activities such as: a new septic system,
71Page
BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, August 20, 2013 9:00 AM
wastewater lift station, fertilizer storage areas, petroleum storage areas and
those types of things.
Commissioner Dzadovsky addressed the Shoreline buffer specifically the
swale. He wanted to clarify that this would help to remove fertilizers from
leaching into the waterways.
Staff responded that is correct. It was something they began implementing
and has now been codified. It allows the storm water to settle out and filter
out before it gets through the buffer into the river.
Commissioner Dzadovsky talked about working in conjunction with the
current ordinance and wanted to clarify that currently fertilizers are not to be
applied within 10 feet of the Shoreline.
Staff responded that is correct, fertilizer cannot be applied within 10 feet of
the mean high water line.
Commissioner Dzadovsky asked if there had been discussion requiring sewer
access in these areas rather than permit septic systems and instead tie into
the sewer system.
Staff responded that there is an existing code at the Planning Department
and the Department of Health and they actually require that if there's a
sewer within a certain distance of a property that they are required to tie into
that.
Commissioner Dzadovsky stated that he had a discussion with the Utilities
Director and that is accurate but he just wanted to have that conversation for
the benefit of the public. It's important for the public to understand that if
they are on the water that they tie into a sewer system rather than have
septic because ultimately if there is flooding those materials will wash into
the waterways.
Staff commented on the concern that the public won't be notified so they
proposed a solution. They would like to mimic Growth Management's
requirement that residents within a certain radius be notified of this
particular change so those most affected would get receive notice and have
the opportunity provide their input.
Commissioner Dzadovsky asked if that's the 500 feet that they normally use.
Staff responded that yes it would be 500 feet.
Commissioner Mowery questioned if the Board of Adjustments would hear
the variance if they don't like the results.
Staff responded that there is a set Board of Adjustments.
Commissioner Hutchinson and Commissioner Lewis responded that the Board
appoints them.
BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, August 20, 2013 9:00 AM
Commissioner Mowery questioned if they are able to hear this type of appeal
as they are taking the Board out of this process.
Staff responded that when the land development code is denied, the denial
process to goes to the Board of Adjustments. The Environmental Resources
Department has brought other issues to the Board of Adjustments that have
involved environmental issues and staff is there to guide and provide
answers to the Board of Adjustments should they need additional
information.
The County Attorney explained that currently the code reads that appeals
from determinations of staff members like the Planning and Development
Director go to the Board of Adjustments so this is consistent with that. The
Board can choose to do something different such as have the appeals come
to the Board. There are options and that is a decision for the Board to make.
Commissioner Mowery commented that since the Board is no longer going to
be hearing any of these, he wanted to make sure that the Board realized that
they are cutting themselves out of the process even though most of these
are going through staff. He questioned if there something written out
regarding the Preserve Area Management Plan that details some of the items
required in that.
Staff responded that they've developed a template that they are ready to put
on the website at any time. They were going to have an administrative
manual that would cover all of the detailed information. That is on the back
burner but they can make it available to the public, it would be a template
that guides one on how to create a Preserve Area Management Plan.
Commissioner Mowery feels it would be nice to make it easy for people to
apply to do this and not have to wonder how to do it.
Commissioner Dzadovsky expressed concern regarding how future staff
changes may affect this and expressed his concern regarding taking the
public side out of this out and taking the Board out of the decision -making
process. The only time that an appeal would occur is if they were denied at
staff level. It would go to appeals to be approved or denied and the final
decision would not come to the Board. He questioned if there was a threshold
on the percentage of those that will be brought to the Board for discussion.
Staff responded that in the current code, the planning department uses is
50% or more but explained that they can change that to be more appropriate
to this section. If any adjacent resident shows that they are concerned, they
will take the Board's direction on how they want that written in the
ordinance.
Commissioner Hutchinson commented that as much as she would like to
streamline and although she does have faith the in staff, she shares
Commissioner Dzadovsky's concerns regarding what could happen down the
91Page
BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, August 20, 2013 9:00 AM
road when staff changes. She doesn't see any way to get around the fees
and the timeframe to get back to the Board. She doesn't have a problem
with going to the Board of Adjustments but she would like to ask the Board
to entertain adding the Environmental Resources Director and the Planning
and Development Director for approval. That way there are two departments
that are overlooking and overseeing as a safeguard. She would like to see
this as a pilot program for a year or two and bring it back to determine its
success keeping the ability to bring it back to the Board and do it the old
way.
The Environmental Resources Director explained to the Board that the intent
behind this is to make it easier on the applicant, not to change the
regulations. She suggested that if there are any residents in opposition that
they do something similar to the wall waiver where they would then bring the
item before the Board and for a public hearing. It doesn't have to go to the
Board of Adjustments. That can be changed so if there is any opposition, it
could be heard by the Board. The problem is that the public hearing puts the
cost and time frame on the applicant and their purpose was to simplify this
process for the applicants.
Commissioner Mowery agreed with the idea of adding the Planning and
Development Director. He's not sure that it's a good idea to bring it back to
the Board of County Commissioners due to the reason why we started
working on this in the first place. It may be a good idea to look at the idea of
a pilot program and then revisit it to see if it's been effective.
Commissioner Dzadovsky supports the idea of a pilot program. He asked for
clarification regarding the process if someone wants to apply for a sea wall.
The Environmental Resources Director responded that they would use the
standards of review and walk the applicant through the criteria. She
explained that primarily when people come in to request a sea wall it's
generally due to erosion.
Commissioner Mowery asked about planting and variance standards and
specifically wanted to know what happens if the applicant is unable to meet
the number of plantings required as that relates to what's being approved
today.
Staff responded with an explanation of a recent example and how they
worked with an applicant where the site precluded them from meeting the
requirements and explained the alternatives and that they can be flexible.
Commissioner Dzadovsky requested that the Board be provided updates
when these plans come through so they can follow along and see how things
go from a staff perspective. He thanked the Environmental Resources
Department and Planning Department for their efforts.
The County Attorney reviewed the requested changes to the shoreline
protection section of the land development code.

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, August 20, 2013 9:00 AM
Commissioner Lewis talked about the Board of Adjustments and feels they've
done a great job and is confident in their ability. She is in support of the
recommended changes that were discussed.
Commissioner Mowery commented on Commissioner Dzadovsky's comments
regarding septic tanks as it relates to shoreline protection and looking into
areas of improvement on this item.
Commissioner Hutchinson doesn't have a problem with that but would like to
include the utilities departments in those conversations. She is hopeful that
with the state having their meetings this week on the water quality in
regards to the lake that that will be part of the umbrella of what is going to
be looked at. She talked about the potential mandates regarding septic
tanks and creating incentives due to the extreme costs associated with them.
Commissioner Mowery commented on future development versus existing
systems.
Commissioner Hutchinson stated that's why when they get into those
conversations they need to be given direction on what to include.
Commissioner Mowery talked about the amount of permits being issued for
septic tanks in Indian River County along the waterways.
Commissioner Dzadovsky stated there is an ordinance that speaks to
connecting to the sewer if it's available; it just needs to be enforced.
No action was required on this item and the second public hearing was
scheduled for September 3, 2013.
There was a consensus of the Board to do a one-year test and to add the
Planning and Development Director for approval as well as notification to
neighbors within a 500 root radius.

property. He explained that this is consistent with the County's long-range
plan and they have considered financial, environmental and social
constraints. Staff recommended that the board approve the resolution to
acquire parcel #102.
Commissioner Dzadovsky commented that he is opposed to eminent domain.
However, this case is for public safety and every effort to negotiate has been
done and therefore he is satisfied that they have taken every possible
measure to avoid eminent domain so he will be supporting this item.

Lucie agreed to eliminate parcel D as well agree to changes to the joint
planning agreement as enhanced by County staff. He explained the steps
taken since the meeting and talked about the process thus far. The city did
not consider the settlement offer and the city council ultimately adopted the
annexation ordinance by unanimous vote. They did not delete Parcel D. He
went on to explain what the next steps would be in the conflict resolution
