PETITIONS AND REQUEST FROM THE PUBLIC PRESENT (OPEN FORUM) Norman Crampton stated that he lived on Bella Arbor Circle in the La Cita Subdivision and commented on a letter he received from the City reminding his community of their obligations under a covenant to maintain the vegetation and the integrity of a ditch behind their property s. He expressed concern regarding the maintenance of a drainage ditch, water flow, piping, flooding, and aging outflow issues connected with the La Cita Subdivision.

He requested that a member of Council facilitate a meeting with the Public Works Department and members of his community to discuss the letter and issues. Page 3 of 16

4 Public Works Director Kevin Cook stated that the ditch in question was unique in that it was a private ditch that was maintained by the residents of that community. He advised that there were complaints that there were downed trees etc. in the ditch and the residents were notified that they needed to maintain the vegetation, erosion control, etc. in the ditch. If the residents did not maintain the ditch, the City had the obligation to maintain the ditch and lien the property(s). Mayor Johnson requested that City Manager Larese arrange a meeting with the property owners and Public Works Director Cook.

The planned community would be developed in two phases on approximately 340+ acres located between the Indian River Lagoon and the U.S. Highway 1 and Columbia Boulevard (SR 405) roadways. The property was designated with the City s Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use of Regional Mixed Use and Conservation and was zoned Regional Mixed Use (RMU). The property was currently governed by the Sandy Point Development Agreement and Master Plan. The Sandy Point Agreement expiration date was April 24, However, in response to several of the Governor s state of emergency declarations in 2016, the applicant made requests for extensions of the Sandy Point agreement pursuant to Subsection (1)(a) of Florida Statutes, resulting in a new expiration date of March 28, The Staff and Developer continue to work through issues with the master plan and development agreement.

Evans and that their firm had been working on the project intermediately for the past fifteen years and they believed the timing of the project was finally right. She advised that the project would be the most significant residential development in the City in decades and would have both positive economic and aesthetic impacts on the City. She asked for Council s support in approving the Development Agreement and Master Plan.

This was the second and final public hearing. The Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) recommended approval, 4-0 with the recommendations that enactment of the 50% rule for the restoration of nonconforming bulkheads be delayed from the effective date of the ordinance. P&Z recommended the Council consider a minimum 60 to a maximum 180 days. The P&Z believed the delayed effective date of the 50% rule would allow those property owners affected by Hurricane Irma some time to restore their bulkheads. City Manager Larese highlighted the request included in the agenda package. Community Development Director Busacca advised that the Titusville Economic Commission (TEC) recommended approval of the Shoreline Protection Ordinance with the following changes: No new bulkheads or reinforced rock revetments should be allowed. If 50% of a bulkhead or reinforced rock revetment was destroyed it should not be repaired or replaced. The only allowable shoreline stabilization technique should be a living shoreline. Page 9 of 16

10 Any temporary swale system used to help establish a living shoreline must be removed after five years. No new structures should be allowed in the shoreline setback area. Septic systems (Onsite Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems - OSTDS) should be prohibited with the only acceptable options being hookup to the City's sewer or lift station. Community Development Director Busacca provided a powerpoint presentation that included: Shoreline Protection Ordinance, Setbacks Along the Shoreline, Permitted/Prohibited within Shoreline Setback area, Alterations, Shoreline Stabilization, Public Sanitary Utility & Onsite Sewage Treatment & Disposal Systems, Non-confirming Impervious Areas, and Exemptions. Council was provided copies of maps Class II Waters in Brevard County (1-2) and Titusville Shoreline, and a copy of Section 11 of the Land Development Regulations that was duplicative and existed in another section of the code, that staff requested be removed. Mayor Johnson opened the public hearing. Daniel Treder stated that the Shoreline Protection Ordinance was hard to understand and requested a workshop to discuss and assist in understanding the ordinance. Jim Ball stated that he felt many residential homeowners were not aware that the Shoreline Protection Ordinance was on the agenda. He recommended not to take any action on the ordinance until the residents had the opportunity to be aware of and to understand the ordinance. He stated that he wanted to understand how the ordinance would affect him in the future. Woody Rice stated that he lost his seawall during the hurricane and was permitted to replace it at that time, but expressed concern that in the future, if another hurricane took out his seawall, he would not be able to replace it if the ordinance was approved. He recommended that anytime the Governor of the State of Florida declared a natural disaster for Brevard County along the shoreline that there would be 180 days that you would be exempt and could put back what you had before the disaster. He advised that he would be in support a workshop. Susan Palma stated that the ordinance was very hard to understand and that 180 days to get a permit after the disaster was not long enough. She advised that it seemed the extension was only for bulkheads and asked about putting a revetment back. She requested that no action be taken regarding the ordinance until it was fully understood. Community Development Director Busacca advised that there was no restriction with putting a revetment back, just the bulkhead. John Ross stated that he went before the Planning and Zoning Commission to seek an exemption for pre-existing shoreline barriers, not just bulkheads, to allow them to be repaired under the old ordinance which had less stringent standards. He wanted everyone to be able to rebuild what they had previously with as little financial impact as possible. He stated that he supported a workshop. Page 10 of 16

11 Mayor Johnson closed the public hearing. Council was in agreement that more time was needed to discuss and understand the ordinance. Member Nelson moved hold a Shoreline Protection Ordinance workshop with a date and time to be determined. Member Stoeckel seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. Ordinance No Shoreline Protection Ordinance would have another first reading and public hearing and would be re-advertised following the workshop.

Community Development Director Busacca provided background history for the item. Member Nelson moved to approve advisability to amend the Land Development Regulations to include banquet centers as a Conditional Use Permit in the General Use zoning district, as requested by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Member Stoeckel seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. Advisability Regarding Community Beautification Program - City Manager Larese advised that during consideration of the FY 2018 budget, City Council earmarked $3000 for a Community Beautification Program. In order to implement the program consistent with Council's vision, staff was seeking direction regarding several aspects of the program design, as described on the attachment included in the agenda package. Page 11 of 16

12 Member Nelson moved to authorize the funds ($3,000) previously set aside for the Community Beautification Program to be allocated to the Housing Improvement Programs with the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), State Housing Initiative Program (SHIP) and Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) to improve the housing, beautify the community and improve the lives of our residents, as requested. Vice-Mayor Barringer seconded the motion for discussion. Vice-Mayor Barringer asked if the funds could specifically be restricted to façade improvements inclusive of paint. Neighborhood Services Director Terrie Franklin advised that CDBG dollars were rarely used for rehab programs and that HOME and SHIP funds were used more. CDBG dollars were set aside for public services and infrastructure. Community Development Director Busacca recommended modifying the motion by omitting CDBG and adding to be used within the South Street target area. Member Nelson modified her motion to authorize the funds ($3,000) previously set aside for the Community Beautification Program to be allocated to the Housing Improvement Programs with the SHIP and HOME Programs to improve the housing in the South Street Target Area and beautify the community and improve the lives of our residents. Vice-Mayor Barringer s second held. The motion carried unanimously. Advisability Regarding Youth Engagement Program City Manager Larese advised that during development of the FY 2018 budget, City Council earmarked $30,000 for youth engagement activities, to be determined at a future date. Staff was seeking direction regarding the specifics of the youth engagement program(s) as described in the agenda package. Member Nelson recommended to set parameters for the Youth Engagement Grants that included grant applications should go through the Neighborhood Services Department, grants should be given to organizations that complete background checks, programs should provide mentoring, tutoring, after school program, and a safe place for the youth to go. Member Diesel advised that he would inform Reverend Black at the Gibson Center about the grant opportunities and stated that he liked having the grant applications go through the programs of the Neighborhood Services Department. Vice-Mayor Barringer recommended parameters and direction he hoped would be included as followed: The purpose or vision would be to enable young people between the ages of 8 to 17 to reach their potential with outcome of caring, productive, and responsible citizens (the program Page 12 of 16

13 would have to be a component of citizenship), services to receive funds would have the ability to discuss the prevention of drug use, the program would include a component of mentorship, concurrent with a physical space and within that space provide some sort of games or activities, a component of homework help, and access to technology. Mayor Johnson recommended not to be too specific and over regulate. Jennifer Castro stated that the original youth engagement budget was for $40,000, but was decreased to $30,000 and asked why it was decreased. Member Nelson advised that City Services had to be funded first and then funding for things such as City events and youth programs were developed. Ms. Castro continued with questions for the Council and the Council responded. Member Nelson recommended that the location for youth programs be a safe place for the youth to go, to go as often as possible, and that mentoring and tutoring were available. Member Nelson moved to extend the meeting to 11:00 p.m. Member Stoeckel seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. Member Nelson moved to authorize the funds ($30,000) previously set aside for youth engagement activities to be allocated to the CDBG Grants utilizing the additional criteria as outlined by City Council. Community Development Director Busacca asked for clarification regarding access to technology being available as part of the criteria. Neighborhood Services Director Franklin recommended scoring the Request for Proposals (RFP) based upon the criteria established by Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the CDBG program. If there was criteria Council wanted to see the Youth Engagement Program meet, that criteria could be developed in addition to the criteria established by HUD for the CDBG program and could be included in the scoring process. Member Nelson requested staff develop the additional criteria as discussed by City Council that would be utilized with the criteria established by HUD for the CDBG Program and provide it at a future meeting. Vice-Mayor Barringer seconded the motion for discussion. Page 13 of 16

14 Vice-Mayor Barringer asked whether the application would be too complex for smaller organizations. Neighborhood Services Director Franklin stated that she did think the application was to complex and advised that staff would share the application with Council. Vice-Mayor Barringer s second held. Member Diesel stated that he wanted the program more inclusive and less exclusive. The motion carried unanimously. Advisability to Permit Streaming of Council Meetings on Facebook Live City Manager Larese advised that currently the City broadcasted on several platforms, ATT, Spectrum, Ustream, and YouTube. The City also utilized several social media platforms to provide information related to City activities and services. Facebook was one of the City s current social media platforms and had recently allowed users to broadcast live video and included Council meetings. Facebook required a live stream key code that only allowed four (4) hours of broadcast. After four (4) hours, it would expire and require staff to obtain a new live stream key code. In order to do that there would need to be a 5 to 10 minute recess. The four (4) hour period would include a starting time at 5:30 P.M. The City s broadcast on YouTube allowed us to not allow comments and the video was archived for future reference. Facebook allowed comments which could be made live by viewers during or after a meeting. Some cities that currently broadcast on Facebook would place a disclaimer which says the broadcast was not monitored by City personnel. If you have questions or comments, please direct them to (TBD, website, phone, etc.). Staff requested that Council provide direction regarding broadcast of City Council meetings on Facebook. There was Council discussion on pros and cons regarding streaming of City Council meetings on Facebook Live. Member Stoeckel moved to provide staff advisability to permit streaming of City Council meeting on Facebook Live, as requested. The motion died due to lack of a second. Page 14 of 16
