The City Clerk referred to Page 2, end of paragraph

her statement to read, “that the City receives notice of any cost savings on
this joint project.” Ms. Roberts stated
that she wanted to clarify that Brad Smith and Associates would notify the City
if there were any cost savings since his firm was also working on a similar
project with the City of Cocoa Beach.

CONSIDERATIONS:
3. Motion to Approve: Request for Release of Lien Per Section
2-260(e), Paul Jindra,
Mayor Randels
explained that the City code calls for anyone who desires a Release of said
Lien to apply to the Code Enforcement Board through Section 2-260(e). The Board recommended that the Council waive
the fees and charge only the costs of $2,676.40 to remedy the violation. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog stated that he attended
all the meetings on this item and he distributed some information regarding
other costs. He related that a sales
transaction fell threw because of this code violation.
Mayor Pro Tem Hoog
explained that the Shorewood Condominium Association incurred a cost of $10,336
over this code violation and some other violations. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog
requested an amendment to the motion to address the other incurred cost. He encouraged the Council to read the
distributed information. Mayor Pro Tem
Hoog stated the loss of $22,000 on the adjacent property sale. Ms. Roberts
expressed concern with the Council not having time to review the document. Mr. Petsos expressed concern with the City
collecting the additional costs and he requested an opinion from the City Attorney.
Mayor Pro Tem Hoog explained that the information he received was prompted due
to one Code Enforcement Board member’s vote of Against.
Mr. Nicholas stated
that the total amount of the lien was $116,000 at the rate of $50 per day. He
expressed that Mr. Jindra was recalcitrant in his attitude toward the Board in
coming into compliance as well as with his neighbors. Mr. Nicholas stated that he supported Mayor
Pro Tem Hoog’s position. He stated that
Mr. Petsos was right that the Board generally purposed to seek compliance but
this was an outstanding violation. Mr.
Nicholas related how the cat excrement was seeping from the unit and thereby
affecting the other residents.
Ms. Roberts added for
the audiences benefit that there were extenuating circumstances as well as Mr.
Jindra’s health. She stated that she
believed that the recommendation that the Board put before the Council was the
right one. Mr. Petsos stated that the
health issue since it was public record was that of mental health. He expressed that he anticipated reviewing
the information and he looked forward to the City Attorney’s opinion. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog related that he did not
believe Mr. Jindra had a problem and he was very belligerent to the Board. He stated that the City, nor the people who
lost their real estate sale, over the issue, was duly compensated. The agent for the property Samuel David
Anderson stated that the unit has been vacant for over 60 days. The unit was cleaned and an ozone and enzyme
process was used for the odor. The party
that lost the real estate sale has since expressed an interest in purchasing
the property.
Mr. Anderson added
that Mr. Jindra was in poor condition financially, physically and mentally. Mr.
Nicholas expressed that his health might have been exacerbated by his living
condition. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog stated
that the lien was incurred at $50 per day and began sometime in 2005. Mr. Anderson informed that the unit was for
sale and Mr. Jindra was no longer in the community. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog stated that the City and
the Condominium Association incurred much undue duress over his actions. Mr. Anderson related that Mr. Jindra’s sister
was willing to pay the $2,600 lien cost which made for a difficult sale. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog concluded that he did not
think the Association should incur the additional $10,336 costs.
Ms. Roberts expressed
her concern with the Council’s discussion without a Code Enforcement Board
member represented to hear their views or with review of what the Mayor Pro Tem
distributed. Ms. Roberts stated that she
would like to hear from Code Enforcement Board members to gain their vantage
point. Attorney Garganese advised to
postpone the meeting to a time certain.
Mayor Randels announced the next Regular scheduled meeting as
Ms. Roberts requested
the background information from Mayor Pro Tem Hoog as well as a representative
from the Code Enforcement Board. Building Official, Todd Morley, said that the
Code Enforcement Officer as well as the Public Works employee that was involved
could also attend. Attorney Garganese clarified on the significant amount of
staff time incurred in processing this violation. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog stated
that the $2,600 was not a significant amount. Mr. Petsos stated that he anticipated
hearing the City Attorney’s legal opinion prior to going into a civil
suit. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog stated that he
served on that Board for many years and expressed that he knew how the City
felt. Ms. Roberts recommended all of the
Code Enforcement Board members present in order to hear their rationale due to
a 4-1 vote on the issue as well as to have the Code Enforcement Officer’s
prospective.
A motion was made by Mr. Petsos and seconded
by Ms. Roberts to Approve the
Request for Release of Lien Per Section
2-260(e), Paul Jindra,
A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Hoog and seconded by Mr. Nicholas to
Postpone the Request for Release of Lien Per Section 2-260(3), Paul Jindra, 605
Shorewood Drive, Unit E503 until the next Scheduled Meeting of
4. Motion to Approve: Little League Field Improvements.
Mayor Randels called on Nancy Hanson, Recreation
Director to address this issue. Ms.
Hanson stated that she gathered data and met with Mr. Hank DiNato, Space Coast
Little League Vice-President, as well as Sports Field Lighting. Mayor Randels stated that Ms. Hanson
established costs for lighting and the in-and outfield. Mr. Jim Cantos, President of the Space Coast
Little League, stated that the main concern in discussion, the lighting and the
in-field and outfield, were safety concerns.
He expressed that the lighting was probably not up to Little League
standards. However, more important was
the condition of the field. Mr. Cantos explained how Mr. DiNato warned opposing
teams to watch an imperfection [a lip] that could cause a ball to bounce back
and hit players in the face and is a safety concern. Mr. Cantos emphasized that the grass needs to
be replaced and used the Little League field in
Mayor Randels related that Ms. Hanson intended to
update the new system to a 50/30 in-field, out-outfield wattage standard and
would replace 23 existing fixtures at a cost of approximately $13,845. The estimated cost for the in-field was
$13,620; however Mayor Randels expressed concern with completion of the
outfield project before the field is needed in February. Mr. Cantos replied that if the Council
approved the expenses, the Little League would comprise a schedule while
refurbishing the fields. Mr. DiNato
replied to Mayor Randels that irrigation was fine. Mr. Nicholas questioned the fields in
discussion. Ms. Hanson responded the
Little League field. Mr. Cantos replied
to Mr. Nicholas that Fall Ball experienced an increase. He related on the benefit of children playing
team sports in light of the other activities available.
Ms. Roberts asked if this would make the field
state-of-the art. Ms. Hanson would
discuss subsequent maintenance with the Public Works Director. Ms. Hanson expressed concern with the
schedule on lighting installation after the grass installation saying that sod
installation before the lighting install would require traversing the newly sod
field. Ms. Hanson related the need for a
lighting upgrade. Mr. Petsos pointed out that the in-field upgrade would come
before the out-field upgrade and the vehicles would remain on the outfield.
Mr. Cantos recommended sod approval and allow it to
establish before the lighting installation.
He mentioned that most of the lights are not in the playing area and
would not incur much damage. Mr. Petsos
noted that for $500 Chem-Serv would apply and monitor the grass. Ms. Hanson replied that the grass
installation would require an aggressive maintenance effort. Mr. Petsos asked if there were an employee
who maintained the field everyday. Ed
Gardulski, Public Works Director, replied that maintenance is performed
half-day at the field and half-day on the beach. Mr. Petsos expressed his favor with the
upgrade and continued ball field maintenance.
Mayor Randels clarified that the funds would need
appropriation. Mr. Boucher informed that
funds were available for the lighting under Option Two and the in-field and he
would seek funds for the outfield. Mayor
Pro Tem Hoog questioned which options would be installed. He expressed that Option Three over Option
Two required four 70-foot poles with fixtures.
Ms. Hanson responded that more maintenance was required to the 15 watts
on the 70-foot poles. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog
stated his preference to install the lighting and he also pointed out that the
labor costs were low.
Ms. Hanson noted that waiting would leave the project
until October of another budget year.
Ms. Hanson replied to Mr. Nicholas that the project could be performed
and maintained in an aggressive manner in order to establish the grass. Ms. Roberts expressed that the community
needs a quality field. She recommended
that the Council consider the project sooner instead of later. Ms. Roberts also
referred to Ms. Hanson’s note from Tom Lotheridge regarding the basketball
court.
Ms. Hanson informed that the Recreation Coordinator
started a three-on-three basketball league.
She noted to Mr. Lotheridge that the lighting could be installed during
another electrical project for cost effectiveness. Mayor Randels questioned the
Little League President on the rolled Bermuda grass on the outfield due to its
high maintenance. Mr. DiNato informed
that all other fields are played on rolled Bermuda grass in the outfield. Mayor Randels summarized that Option Two was
under consideration for all new standards, 50/30 lighting and 18 new fixtures
at a cost of $13,800. Secondly, Council
would consider a sod re-work in the next Budget year. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog cautioned that the field
would not be ready in two months.
Ms. Hanson informed that the City’s Maintenance
Supervisor expressed confidence in the sod installation company. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog pointed out that Chem Serv
would perform the installation but would not guarantee it. Mr. Petsos clarified that the firm would install
the grass and then oversee the maintenance.
He would support using the Chem-Serv company. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog stated that he would
support the refurbishment but not at a major cost. Mr. Petsos expressed his
support with improving the in-field and requested to have Chem-Serv to
guarantee that the field would be ready for the season. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog questioned completion of
lighting installation in light of the sod installation.
Mayor Randels pointed out Option Two required
revamping all of the existing lights and adding two additional ones. Mr. Petsos questioned the priority. Mr. Cantos stated that the in-field was the
number one priority. Mr. DiNato related how he mowed the grass in-field and
noted the field as a maintenance concern.
Mr. Cantos stated his preference of the in-field grass first and then
the outfield lights. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog
stated that the expense was approximately $60,000 and was not an appropriated
fund. Mr. Nicholas expressed his favor with the Recreation Director’s point of
allocating the funds now and not waiting until the next fiscal year and risk
coming into the next growing season. Mr.
Boucher stated that after the season, funding could be found to replace the sod
in the outfield. He stated that this
would provide the Public Works Department time to address what maintenance on
the outfield. Mayor Randels reviewed the priority order as: the in-field grass
and the outfield lights and then the in-field lights and the outfield
grass. Ms. Roberts asked the Council to
consider the basketball light for $1,781 in order not to require future
contractor equipment mobilization. Mr.
Boucher expressed his agreement with Ms. Roberts if cost could be contained
under $5,000. Ms. Hanson replied to the City Manager that she would seek a cost
quote. On a final note, Mr. Petsos asked
if the Streets Maintenance could devote a longer portion of the day to the
Little League field during the winter months.
Mr. Gardulski affirmed that it would be done.
A motion
was made by Mr. Petsos and seconded by Mr. Nicholas to Approve the Little
League Field Improvements under Option 2. The vote on the motion carried 5-0 with voting as follows: Mayor Pro Tem Hoog, For; Mr. Nicholas, For;
Mr. Petsos, For; Mayor Randels, For and Ms. Roberts, For.
ORDINANCES:
First Public Hearing:
5. Motion
to Approve: Ordinance No. 22-2006; at First
Mayor Randels read
Ordinance No. 22-2006 by title.
An Ordinance of the City of Cape Canaveral, Florida,
Amending Chapter 110, Zoning, of the Code of Ordinances; Amending the R-1,
R-2, and R-3 Zoning Districts to Make Public Recreational Areas and Facilities
Principle Uses; Repealing those Subsections in the R-1, R-2 and R-3 Zoning
Districts Which Provide that Public Recreational Areas and Facilities May be
Permitted by Special Exception; Amending the R-1, R-2, R-3, C-1, M-1 and C-2
Zoning Districts to Make Public Utility Equipment, Uses and Rights-Of-Way
Principle uses when Such Uses are Essential to the Neighborhood in which they
are Located; Repealing those Subsections in the R-1, R-2, R-3, C-1, M-1 and C-2
Zoning Districts which Provide that Public Utility Equipment, Uses and
Rights-of-Way May be Permitted by Special Exception; Providing for Repeal
of Prior Inconsistent Ordinances and Resolutions; Incorporation into the Code;
Severability; and an Effective Date.
Todd Peetz, City
Planner, noted that three items were the result of the previous Code Review
meetings. He explained that the
Wastewater Treatment Plant for an upgrade and City parks were not addressed
under Special Exceptions. There was a
burden to staff for this to remain in the code.
Mayor Randels related from the Building Official’s rationale, “that in
all zoning districts the City code currently allows essential Public utility
equipment, uses and rights-of-way only by Special Exception.”
Mr. Nicholas
stated that the residents might not desire a park in a specific area. He replied to Mayor Pro Tem Hoog that the
process could occur by Administrative decision.
He questioned the definition of a Public Utility. Mr. Petsos expressed concern with moving a
Lift Station and desired to know the mechanism to address the process. Mr.
Peetz explained that these were City owned and managed facilities. He stated that a Lift Station was relative to
a development. Mr. Nicholas pointed out
that Florida Power and Light [FPL] would then be enabled to install a
sub-station in any zoning. Mr. Peetz explained
that anyone who desired a Special Exception submitted for modification would
require a Special Exception hearing. Mr.
Nicholas stated that he had no problem with FPL applying for a Special
Exception. Mr. Peetz noted that the
hearing process also applied to Special Exceptions for City. Ms. Roberts asked how is it determined if it
would serve the neighborhood if it were removed from the Special Exception
listing. Mr. Peetz replied that in terms
of a Lift Station serving the neighborhood, it was definitely necessary for
public health and safety and there are concurrency requirement for Parks and
Recreation and applied mechanisms to establish if it needed or an improvement
was needed. Mr. Nicholas stated that
eliminating these items from the Special Exception requirement to remove the
community from involvement, unless the Council included their involvement.
Todd Morley,
Building Official, pointed out the contradiction in the language, “essential
public service utilities located to serve the district that they are in shall
be approved by Special Exception.” He proposed that expenditures approved by
the Council make them essential. Mr.
Nicholas stated that he did not desire to provide any utility carte
blanche. Mr. Morley related that the
proposed Public Works utility building required a Special Exception. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog referred to the City’s
difficulty with
Mayor Pro Tem Hoog
expressed the need for public input to establish a park. Mr. Morley questioned
continuing the need for a Special Exception to make modifications. Mr. Peetz explained how any modifications to
an original use for Special Exceptions returned to the Planning and Zoning Board
and the Board of Adjustment for review.
He stated the desire to not require a Special Exception for the
Wastewater Treatment Plant or a City park.
He confirmed that a Policy definition stating that an existing City park
or a Wastewater Treatment plant does not need a Special Exception for
maintenance or upgrades. Council
expressed concern with lack of public input.
Mr. Morley
clarified that if the requirement remained, it would mean an additional process
in order to install a new Lift Station or establish a new park. Ms. Roberts asked if other municipalities had
these sorts of Special Exception reviews.
The Building Official would seek an answer. Mr. Boucher stated that public utility
equipment included Lift Stations and pipes, not storage facilities, those
things in the right-of-way and serves the public. Mr. Boucher pointed out the controversy when the
City was approached to create a walk-to park in a residential
neighborhood. Bea McNeely, Planning and
Zoning Board Chairperson, replied to Ms. Roberts that the Board’s discussion
brought out that eliminating these special exceptions might simplify
things. Mr. Peetz concluded that the
Council provided the direction needed from which the Board could move forward.
Item
No. 5 failed for Lack of a Motion.
6. Motion to Adopt:
Ordinance No. 23-2006, at First
Mayor Randels read Ordinance No. 23-2006 by

of the Cape Canaveral Code of Ordinances, Providing that Establishments which
Require a Special Exception to Serve Alcoholic Beverages May not be Permitted
to Locate within Three Hundred (300) Feet of the Shoreline of the Banana River
or of the Atlantic Coast; Providing for the Repeal of Prior Inconsistent
Ordinances and Resolutions; Incorporation into the Code; Severability; and an
Effective Date.
Mayor Randels
explained that the expressed potential of the Johnson Controls property on the
Banana River in the C-2 zoning becoming a restaurant able to serve alcoholic
beverages. Mr. Peetz affirmed and
pointed out where the 300-feet reference point to the east of the river
pertained to property line. Mayor Pro
Tem Hoog asked if this pertained to structure or property line. Mr. Peetz replied that the ordinance states
property line. Mr. Nicholas questioned
if shoreline were an adequate measurement since a shoreline changes. Mayor Randels stated that such property is
measured in that way and not in metes and bounds.
Mr. Petsos stated
that the property line in the ocean extends to the mean light water line. Mr.
Nicholas noted some cases on the river side the shoreline is eroded to the
point where the property line extends beyond the shore. Mayor Randels noted the homes on

units, whereas other portions of the code read five acres.
