BACKGROUND/CONSIDERATION This is a request to allow consumption of beer and wine on the premises, accessory to a salon and spa, in a 10,500 SF unit of a developed 9.67±-acre parcel zoned C-P (Commercial Parkway). The proposed business is to be located within one unit of an existing 107,837± square foot multi-unit shopping center located on the southeast corner of East Eau Gallie Boulevard and North Riverside Drive (205 East Eau Gallie Boulevard). Since 2010, Imperial has offered a variety of personal services for hair, nails, massage therapy and other spa related amenities, by licensed professionals, as their primary business. Imperial would now like to offer limited complimentary alcoholic beverages (beer and wine) in conjunction with these services. The surrounding area is predominately a mixture of restaurants, retail and office uses, with one 99-unit, multi-family property. A new residential subdivision is under construction to the south of the shopping center (Oceanside Village Phase 3B). A site plan is not required, since the proposed changes do not reach the thresholds established in City Code. Staff has proposed a condition that will only allow the consumption of alcohol to occur as an accessory use to the spa/salon and only during the hours of operation for the spa/salon. The Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of this request at its October 16, 2014 meeting. FISCAL IMPACT (IF APPLICABLE) N/A REQUESTED ACTION Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 2014-68, based upon the findings and conditions contained in the Planning and Zoning Board memorandum. Page 14 Item No. 8 MEMORANDUM Community Development Department TO: Michael A. McNees, City Manager THRU: Cindy Dittmer, AICP, Community Development Director FROM: Cheryl A. Dean, AICP, Planning Manager RE: Conditional Use Request (CU-2014-08) for Consumption of Beer and Wine on Premises – Imperial Salon & Spa (205 East Eau Gallie Boulevard) DATE: October 30, 2014 Owner/Applicant/Representative Dead River Causeway, LLC, Owner; Imperial Salon and Spa, II, Inc., Applicant; Geoffrey Smith, Smith & Associates, Representative Proposed Action The applicant is requesting to allow consumption of beer and wine on premises, accessory to a salon and spa, in a 10,500 square foot unit of a developed 9.67± acre parcel zoned C-P (Commercial Parkway). Location The property is located on the southeast corner of East Eau Gallie Boulevard and North Riverside Drive – a.k.a. 205 East Eau Gallie Boulevard, in Township 27, Range 37, Section 14. History The request is located on a portion of several lots of the Town of Eau Gallie Beach Subdivision (PB 1, PG 47), recorded in 1941. The conditional use area is one unit of the Causeway Shopping Center, originally constructed in 1966. The property has a General Commercial Future Land Use designation. Adjacent Property Future Land Use and Zoning To the East: Restaurant, retail store, mini-storage building, and a church Zoning: C-P, C-C-2 (General Commercial), C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial) Land Use: General Commercial To the North: Gas station; across Eau Gallie Boulevard, bank; shopping center (Indian Harbor Beach) Zoning: C-C-P; B-1 (Indian Harbor Beach) Land Use: General Commercial; COM (Indian Harbor Beach) Page 15 Item No. 8 To the West: Across Riverside Drive, bank, business, apartments owned by the Housing Authority of Brevard County Zoning: C-C-P, C-P and R-2 (10) (One-, Two-, and Multiple-Family Residential Medium Density District with a cap of 10 units per acre) Land Use: General Commercial, Medium Density Residential To the South: Oceanside Village Phase 3B (PB60, PG30) Zoning: R-2 (3) Land Use: Low Density Residential Issues and Considerations The salon and spa want to offer alcoholic beverages (beer and wine) on premises as part of the spa’s services. This request requires approval of a conditional use. The Conditional Use standards are presented in Appendix B, Article IX, Section 5. Additional stipulations for the sale and consumption of beer and wine on premises are presented in Appendix B, Article VI, Section 2(O). Imperial Salon and Spa is a 10,500± square foot business that has been located in the Causeway Shopping Center since 2010. Imperial offers a variety of personal services for hair, nails, massage therapy, and other spa-related amenities. Imperial will operate their personal services as their primary business, in addition to offering limited complimentary alcoholic beverages (beer and wine) in conjunction with these services. Surrounding Area: The Conditional Use standards require a determination that the Conditional Use will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare, and are in harmony with the general purpose of the zoning ordinance. The character and use of adjoining buildings and those in the vicinity, the number of persons residing or working in such buildings, and traffic conditions in the vicinity are all factors that shall be taken into account. Within a 500-foot radius of the subject property there is predominately a mixture of restaurants, retail and office uses, with one 99-unit, multi-family property built in 1970 and the last phase of the Oceanside Village residential development. The closest house of worship, Coastline Community Church, exceeds the distance requirements for the consumption on premises (as described in Appendix B, Article VI, Section 2(Q)). Access: This property abuts two major roadways, including Eau Gallie Boulevard (100± feet of right-of-way) and Riverside Drive (100± feet of right-of-way). The spa shares access and parking with the other units in the shopping center. The Site: The proposed use is a high-end salon and spa, where clients are offered a variety of personal services, including but not limited to haircut, facial, massage, manicure or pedicure, all provided by licensed professionals in a relaxing environment. In addition to the more traditional salon and spa services, the applicant proposes to offer complimentary beverages included with their services. Complimentary beverages may include but are not limited to coffee, water, soda, or an alcoholic beverage (beer or wine). The consumption of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with the facility is the reason for the conditional use approval. Staff has Page 16 Item No. 8 proposed a condition that will only allow the consumption of alcohol to occur as an accessory use to the salon and spa, as well as only during the hours of the salon and spa. Since the request is accessory to the primary business, and is intended for existing clients, there should be no substantial impact on the area. Staff has proposed conditions to ensure that the request will remain accessory in nature. JPA review Comments The project is located within the Joint Planning Agreement review area and no comments have been received from Brevard County to date. Concurrency The site is developed and occupies an existing building. Accordingly, the proposed use should not significantly impact public infrastructure systems and facilities. SUMMARY The request for consumption of beer and wine on premises is accessory to the principal use of the subject property (i.e., a salon and spa). A site plan is not required, since the proposed changes do not reach the thresholds established in City Code. This is an existing developed site and therefore was not required to submit a rendering or environmental report. The proposed conditional use complies with the City’s Future Land Use Map and Comprehensive Plan policies. This business is not located within five hundred (500) feet of an adult entertainment establishment as defined in Chapter 2.6 of the Melbourne City Code, or the adult entertainment district as described in Section 2(A)(3) of this article. The Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of this request at its October 16, 2014 meeting. Recommendation Based on the findings contained in the Planning and Zoning Board memorandum, for a developed property located on the southeast corner of East Eau Gallie Boulevard and North Riverside Drive, in Township 27, Range 37, Section 14 (more specifically known as 205 East Eau Gallie Boulevard), the Planning and Zoning Board and the Community Development Department recommend: APPROVAL of CU-2014-08, conditional use to allow the consumption of beer and wine on premises, accessory to a salon and spa, in a 10,500 square foot unit of a developed 9.67± acre parcel zoned C-P, with the following conditions: a. The sale and consumption of beer and wine is to be located completely inside the unit of the building identified as 205 East Eau Gallie Boulevard. b. The consumption of beer and wine shall only be permitted as an accessory use to the salon and spa. Page 17 Item No. 8 c. Consumption of beer and wine shall be limited to the hours of operation for the salon and spa. d. The complimentary beer and wine shall be limited to the clients and guests of the salon and spa. e. Exterior signage advertising alcoholic beverages shall be prohibited. Page 18 Item No. 8 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Alan King, Chairman Planning and Zoning Board RE: Conditional Use Request (CU-2014-08) for Consumption of Beer and Wine on Premises – Imperial Salon & Spa (205 East Eau Gallie Boulevard) DATE: October 16, 2014 City of Melbourne Planning & Economic Development Department APPLICANT: Imperial Salon and Spa, II, Inc. REPRESENTATIVE: Geoffrey Smith, Smith & Associates The Planning and Zoning Board, at its regularly scheduled meeting of October 16, 2014, reviewed the above referenced request for conditional use approval. Following review and discussion, the Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of CU-2014-08 to allow the consumption of beer and wine on premises, accessory to a salon and spa, in a 10,500 square foot unit of a developed 9.67± acre parcel zoned C-P (Commercial Parkway), with the following findings and conditions: Findings for the Conditional Use/Site Plan 1. The requested Conditional Use to allow the consumption of beer and wine as an accessory use to an existing salon and spa, in the C-P zoning district, is consistent with the area's General Commercial Future Land Use designation and the goals, objectives, and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan. 2. The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of commercial establishments are located in the general vicinity of the subject property, and no improvements will be made to the existing developed building/unit and property. 3. The proposed project should not cause depreciation of property values, or reduce the safety, light and general convenience of neighboring developments. a. The appearance and function of the neighborhood will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed conditional use since the subject site has previously been used for commercial purposes.

The application does not impact the preservation of any city, state or federally designated historic, scenic, archaeological, or cultural resources. c. The subject site is located beachside along East Eau Gallie Boulevard and is near multiple commercial properties. 4. Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property. The site has direct access to East Eau Gallie Boulevard and North Riverside Drive. 5. The proposed conditional use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code, Chapter 3, as well as Appendix B, Article V, Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table); Appendix B, Article VI, Section 2(O) (sale of beer and wine for consumption on premises); and Appendix B, Article IX, Section 5 (Conditional Uses). 6. The site is designated as General Commercial on the Future Land Use Map and is zoned C-P. The C-P zone permits a variety of commercial uses. The consumption of beer and wine on premises requires conditional use approval within this district. 7. The proposal will not have any adverse impact on the public health, safety, welfare, economic order, or aesthetics of the City. Conditions a. The sale and consumption of beer and wine is to be located completely inside the unit of the building identified as 205 East Eau Gallie Boulevard. b. The consumption of beer and wine shall only be permitted as an accessory use to the salon and spa. c. Consumption of beer and wine shall be limited to the hours of operation for the salon and spa. d.

Wysor, City Clerk Ordinance No. 2014-68 Page 25 Page 2 of 2 Item No. 8 Melbourne City Council DEPARTMENT: CITY ATTORNEY November 25, 2014 City Manager’s Agenda Report Reading No. Public Hearing Disclosure Required Item No. 2 Yes No 9 SUBJECT Ordinance No. 2014-69: Amending and restating Chapter 18 of the Code, entitled Leisure Services; changing the name of the Leisure Services Department to the Parks and Recreation Department; updating existing provisions; and adding provisions regulating the use of City parks for large group feedings and outdoor public assemblies. BACKGROUND/CONSIDERATION In response to numerous complaints of citizens and merchants throughout the City, the City Council directed staff in April 2014 to research and prepare proposed regulations that would allow the City to control and regulate public feedings in parks. Accordingly, staff worked with Mr. Michael Kahn, an attorney who has extensive experience representing cities and counties throughout Florida in First Amendment issues, to develop regulations that are consistent with constitutional protections. The proposed ordinance regulates large group feedings in public parks by amending and restating Chapter 18 of the Code of Ordinances, and adding provisions that, among other things, require a permit to conduct outdoor public assemblies and large group feedings; identify the parks in which outdoor public assemblies and large group feedings are allowed; identify hours of operation for public parks; list activities that are prohibited in public parks and recreational facilities; provide for permit applications and fees; provide standards for issuance of permits; identify the duties of permit holders with respect to park property; provide standards for revocation of permits; prohibit discrimination, and require indemnification of the City and insurance. Following first reading, the ordinance was revised to clarify the Parks and Recreation Director’s obligation to act promptly upon a permit application, regardless of when the application is submitted. FISCAL IMPACT (IF APPLICABLE) None known at this time. REQUESTED ACTION Approval of Ordinance 2014-69. Page 26 Item No. 9 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Suzanne N. Crockett, Assistant City Attorney Paul R. Gougelman, City Attorney RE: Proposed Ordinance amending and restating Chapter 18 of the Code of Ordinances and adding provisions for regulating large group feedings and outdoor public assemblies in public parks DATE: November 20, 2014 Following the City Council’s adoption of Ordinances 2014-40 and 2014-41 regulating panhandling and aggressive panhandling, city staff returned to the task of providing Council with information and proposed regulation to address public feedings of persons within the City’s parks. Specifically, Council wished to address the growing concerns involving the negative, unsafe, and unsanitary conditions left behind in the City’s public parks following large group feedings of people by various organizations, and the impact of these conditions upon the neighborhoods and areas surrounding these parks. Beginning in August, City staff members (including Parks and Recreation Director Kevin Briski, Community Development Director Cindy Dittmer, Community Redevelopment Director Doug Dombroski, Police Chief Steve Mimbs, Commander Vincent Pryce, City Attorney Paul Gougelman, Assistant City Attorney Suzanne Crockett) began meeting with each other and with attorney Michael Kahn to devise appropriate regulations of large group feedings in public parks. Staff conducted an extensive review of the City’s parks and recreation facilities, their locations and how they are typically used. Based on this review, staff worked with Mr. Kahn, an attorney who has extensive experience representing cities and counties throughout Florida in First Amendment issues, to arrive at regulations that are consistent with constitutional protections and decisional precedent. City staff and Mr. Kahn were guided in their efforts by a fairly recent opinion of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit Court styled First Vagabonds Church of God v. City of Orlando, Florida, 638 F. 3d 756 (11th Cir. 2011). In that case, the appellate court upheld an Orlando ordinance which required anyone conducting a large group feeding within the downtown park district to obtain a permit first, and which limited the maximum number of permits that a person or organization could obtain per year per park. The court held that the ordinance was a valid regulation of expressive conduct (assuming, without deciding, that feeding homeless people is expressive conduct). Relying on the rationale of the U.S. Supreme Court in Clark v. Community for Creative Non-Violence, 468 U.S. 288 (1984) and United States v. O’Brien, 391 U.S. 367 (1968), the Circuit Court held that it is undisputed that it was within the Page 27 Item No. 9 City of Orlando’s power to enact ordinances regulating park usage and that the city had a substantial interest in managing park property and spreading the burden of large group feedings throughout a greater area, and that those interests were unrelated to the suppression of speech: the incidental restriction of alleged First Amendment freedoms was not greater than necessary to further the city’s interests. Based upon this precedent, Mr. Kahn worked with staff to amend and restate Chapter 18 of the Code of Ordinances currently entitled “Leisure Services.” The proposed Ordinance retains, updates and re-numbers many of the existing provisions in Chapter 18, but also contains additional provisions that will assist the City in better managing its park property, especially with respect to large group feedings and outdoor public assemblies. On first reading of the proposed ordinance, Council identified a need to clarify the ordinance with respect to the permit application filing time frame and the time for review/rejection of the application to make sure they accommodate the permit appeal time frame. Accordingly, staff has revised Section 18-29 to require the parks director to act on a completed application within 48 hours of receipt, not including weekends and holidays. This change will eliminate the perception that the director can hold onto a permit application and then deny it 72 hours before the event date, thereby precluding pre-event review of the denial due to the appeal time frames of Section 18-30. This revision clarifies the director’s obligation to act promptly, regardless of when the permit application is submitted, and regardless of the event date. Additionally, staff has revised section 18-25 by eliminating the distinction between single-event permits and recurring permits: the current distinction is redundant and possibly confusing. Accordingly, staff has removed section 18-25(1)b from the proposed ordinance. Some of the changes contained in this Ordinance include: A new Sec. 18-2 containing a statement of the purpose of Chapter 18 and containing specific findings that will support the City’s regulation of large group feedings in its parks; An update of the regulations concerning alcoholic beverages in parks, as set forth in Sec. 18-10; A new Sec. 18-18, which lists and designates the 34 specific park properties designated for public and recreational use, establishes closing hours for those parks and prohibits the presence of persons in those parks after closing hours; A new Sec. 18-19, which lists the 7 parks that may be used for large group feedings, and the hours during which large group feedings may take place, and which prohibits large group feedings in neighborhood parks or special use facilities; A new Sec. 18-22, which basically revises and updates the current Sec. 18-24, by listing the prohibited activities in parks and recreational facilities; Page 28 Item No. 9 A new Sec. 18-23, which requires a large group feeding permit (included as part of an outdoor public assembly permit) issued by the Parks and Recreation Director in order to conduct or participate in the distribution or service of food at a large group feeding at a City park or facility; A new Sec. 18-24, which requires an outdoor public assembly permit in order to engage in an outdoor public assembly in City parks, in addition to any other special activity permit required under Chapter 2, Article 9 of the City Code; A new Sec. 18-25, which sets forth the information to be provided on an application and the fees to be charged for an outdoor public assembly permit; A new Sec. 18-26, which provides a method for determining whether police protection is required for an outdoor public assembly; A new Sec. 18-28, which outlines the standards to be applied for issuing outdoor public assembly permits; A new Sec. 18-29, which requires the Director of Parks and Recreation to act within 72 hours upon a completed application for an outdoor public assembly permit, and requires the director to provide reasons for denying a permit; A new Sec. 18-30, which outlines the procedures to be followed in order to appeal the denial of a permit by the director; A new Sec. 18-31, which allows the director to issue a permit authorizing an outdoor public assembly on a date, at a time, over a route, or in a different location from the date, time, route or location requested by the applicant. A new Sec. 18-32, which requires the director to provide notice of the issuance of a public assembly permit to the city manager, city clerk, city engineer, chief of police, fire chief, community development director and any other city official deemed appropriate by the director. A new Sec. 18-33, which prescribes the information to be set forth on a permit; A new Sec. 18-34, which lists the duties of permit holder with respect to maintaining possession of the permit during the event, to cleaning of the area following the event, and to preventing the dumping of food waste; A new Sec. 18-35, concerning the conduct of persons participating in assemblies; A new Sec. 18-36, regarding the director’s authority to revoke a permit; A new Sec. 18-37, prohibiting discrimination by permit holders; A new Sec. 18-38, requiring a permit applicant to indemnify and hold the city harmless against liability for claims arising from the outdoor public assembly, requiring proof of insurance and the circumstances under which insurance will be waived by the city; and A new Sec. 18-39, providing for penalties for violation of Chapter 18. On second reading of the proposed ordinance, staff will assist Mr. Michael Kahn in the presentation of the evidence forming the factual basis and the legal basis for the adoption of the proposed Ordinance.

We have enjoyed the proximity of 2 beautiful parks, Front St. and Bean, until the homeless presence increased and the group feedings began in the last 3 years. We have a now 6-year old puppy, so we were in the parks often. I no longer venture into either Front St. or Bean parks for several reasons. - The morning after the group feedings there is typically a lot of food trash left on the ground. The photo below shows the visible garbage, which your crew cleans up as quickly as possible by mid-morning. Prior to that, it is unsightly and an indication of the loose food in the grass - refried beans, chicken bones, etc... nothing I want to see or allow my dog to eat. - The group feedings also bring an unsavory element of our Melbourne population. At Bean Park in particular, the picnic tables are often filled with people who are obviously rolling joints and smoking marijuana. I have been afraid to call the police because it would be obvious "the tall woman with the little dog" made the call, and I could be a target. - Why do I think this? Last week, thx to a watchful neighbor, a person who was part of the group feeding pulled out an 8" cleaver and threatened another person with it. Thx to our neighbor's 911 call, 8 squad cars and a police motorcycle arrived very quickly and took the cleaver-wielder away. We love living in the downtown Melbourne area but we are now afraid to be amidst the group feeding population, and believe our property values are suffering. Recently, a visitor to our condo made the following comment: This is a beautiful area to live but a scary one, with a nod across the street to Front St. park. We support the ordinance rewrite that was reviewed on Tue night's council meeting. We will be traveling and cannot attend the next meeting, but if you have questions, please contact our condo president, Bill Dennehy, who is cc'ed on this email.

It is also the purpose of this chapter to establish rules and regulations regarding outdoor public assemblies including but not limited to large group feedings in order to regulate the time, place and manner of large group feedings while mindful of protecting any First Amendment rights related to outdoor public assemblies including but not limited to large group feedings. (b) Findings. Based upon evidence presented to the city council regarding the use of public parks and other recreational facilities owned or controlled by the city and the evidence of the adverse secondary effects of large group feedings as well as the constitutional rights attendant to such large group feedings including but not limited to examination of relevant case law in the Eleventh Circuit including, but not limited to, the case of First Vagabonds Church of God v. City of Orlando, Florida, 638 F.3d 756 (11th Cir. 2011), as well as other matters, testimony and materials submitted at the public hearings relating this ordinance; and other matters and documents relating to all of the above; the city council makes the following findings: (1) The City of Melbourne has formerly enacted Chapter 18 of its Code to promulgate rules and regulations for governing its leisure services department including but Page 14 of 34 Page 47 Item No. 9 not limited to rules and regulations governing the use of city-owned or controlled public parks and public facilities; and (2) The city has decided for the betterment of the public health, safety and welfare to amend Chapter 18 to revise and amplify the rules governing the use of city-owned or controlled parks and facilities and to change the name of the department to the parks and recreation department; and (3) The city encourages use of city-owned or controlled parks by city residents in a safe, sanitary, and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere; and (4) Unregulated large group feeding in public parks owned or controlled by the city has resulted in litter on park grounds and surrounding rights-of-way such as food, food containers, and other food wrappings, creating hazards to the health, safety, and welfare of citizens, birds and animals, and is detrimental to the aesthetic atmosphere of parks; and (5) Large group feedings in public parks owned or controlled by the city require provision of adequate trash receptors and additional park personnel for inspection and cleanup of park grounds, which would be more manageable by advance notice and regulation of large group feedings through a permit system; and (6) The city is experiencing a steady and significant increase in residential and other growth and a corresponding competition for park space and usage by citizens; and (7) Excessive use of parks and park facilities in city-owned or controlled parks for large group feedings by single persons or groups denies that park or facility space for use by other citizens, which placement of reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions on use for large group feedings would resolve; and (8) Testimony before city council has demonstrated that fear, intimidation, and criminal acts have accompanied or followed some large group feedings in some parks owned or controlled by the city, which has affected the health, safety and welfare of city residents; and (9) The city is committed to and has provided for and set aside reasonable, ample, alternative land space within parks owned or controlled by the city for large group feedings by religious and other organizations; and (10) The current parks and park facilities owned or controlled by the city and future parks owned or controlled by the city are particularly affected by all the foregoing conditions and confining large group feedings to only a few parks owned or controlled by the city without adequate time, place, and manner regulations as provided for by this ordinance would continue to adversely affect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City of Melbourne; and Page 15 of 34 Page 48 Item No. 9 (11) Aesthetics of parks and other city property is a significant and important government interest; and (12) The safety of pedestrian traffic in city rights-of-way and parks is a significant and important government interest; and (13) The health, safety and welfare of Melbourne citizens is a significant and important government interest; and (14) Preservation of improvements in urbanized environment which has been the subject of significant financial and other resources of the City of Melbourne is a significant and important government interest.

This chapter is enacted under the constitutionally derived power of the City of Melbourne in the interest of the good order, safety, health, peace and general welfare of the citizens of Melbourne and its visitors.

Staff discussed the right-turn lane project with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) since the existing signalization will need to be relocated and replaced with a mast arm. FDOT is currently designing the new signalization, with the City being responsible for bidding and construction. As part of the Stormwater Quality Master Plan, the purchased property was evaluated and it was determine if additional water quality treatment could be provided for existing development within the drainage basin. The subject project will incorporate additional water quality treatment. Stormwater Utility funding will supplement the construction costs for the additional treatment. Scope of Services The scope of work includes topographic surveying services and delineation of the project drainage basin to be served by the proposed dry retention pond for additional water quality treatment. Geotechnical engineering services will be provided to investigate the subsurface conditions of the proposed dry retention area. Final engineering services, permitting services, and bidding assistance will also be provided. Compensation and Schedule The work will be completed within 180 days from the Notice to Proceed. The fee for the scope of services shall not exceed $40,220.00. Adequate funding is available in the US 1 and Sarno Road Right Turn Lane project account (64212).

The parties to this Agreement may sometimes individually be referred to herein as an “agency” or a “party”. WHEREAS, Section 23.1225, Florida Statutes (2014), authorizes jurisdictions to enter into mutual aid agreements; and WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire an expansive mutual aid relationship as authorized by this Statute. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises stated herein, the parties agree as follows: 1. Time Limit. This Agreement shall commence upon execution and shall expire at 12:00 midnight on the 25th day of January 2017. Provided, however, that any party may withdraw from this Agreement by providing thirty (30) days advance written notice to all other parties and to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, in which case the withdrawing party’s rights and obligations hereunder shall terminate. The foregoing notwithstanding, the obligations and rights of indemnity pursuant to Paragraph 3 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the withdrawal from this Agreement by any party. 2. Nature of Law Enforcement Assistance. Law enforcement assistance may be provided by law enforcement officers (“officers”) and personnel of any party to this Agreement (and they are hereby requested to provide such assistance) in the jurisdiction of any party to this Agreement under the circumstances described below in which case any such officer and personnel Page 96 Item No. 19c shall have all powers, privileges and immunities as authorized in Section 23.127, Florida Statute, as amended from to time or any corresponding provisions of law: a. Investigations Outside Jurisdiction. When an investigation involving a crime, ordinance violation or traffic infraction, which occurs within the investigating agency’s jurisdiction, may be facilitated by the conduct of law enforcement activities such as, but not by way of limitation, interviewing witnesses, interviewing suspects, executing search warrants, executing arrest warrants, collecting evidence, conducting surveillance or apprehending offenders, outside the jurisdictional area of the investigating agency, then such investigating agency may enter into the jurisdictional area of another party for these purposes. The procedure for so doing shall be that the officer from the investigating agency, who intends to enter the jurisdictional area of another agency, shall give notice to such other agency of his or her intent to execute search warrants, execute arrest warrants, conduct surveillance or interviews, or apprehend offenders of the location in the other agency’s jurisdictional area where the investigation or other law enforcement activity will take place, the nature of the investigation or other law enforcement activity and the identity of the officer who is in charge of the investigation or other law enforcement activity. If prior notice cannot be given due to the circumstances, notice shall be given as soon as reasonably possible. Likewise, upon concluding the investigatory or other law enforcement activities in the other agency’s jurisdictional area, the officer in charge shall notify the other agency that the investigation or other law enforcement activity has concluded. The failure of an officer to follow these procedures shall not, however, invalidate the officer’s Page 2 of 27 MutualAidAgreement2013-2015.doc 11/19/2014 4:33 PM Page 97 Item No. 19c exercise of law enforcement authority in such other agency’s jurisdictional area, any arrests that occurred, any searches or seizures that occurred or otherwise affect the validity of any law enforcement action taken. Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way waive or diminish the law enforcement powers and duties vested in the Sheriff and deputy sheriffs by the Florida Constitution, Florida Statutes or the common law of the State of Florida. b. Pursuits. An officer may pursue any individual or individuals into the jurisdiction of another agency to the extent allowable by law. Upon apprehension of any such individual or individuals, such officer may take appropriate enforcement action, including arresting the offender for violations of the criminal law or ordinance, issuing traffic citations, seizing property or contraband and making searches incidental to arrest, as allowable by law. To the extent allowable by law, the officer may charge the individual or individuals with violations of the law or infractions that occurred during the pursuit, even if such violations occurred outside the jurisdictional area of the officer’s agency. The authority granted hereunder is in addition to that which is contained in Section 901.25, Florida Statutes, as amended from time to time or any corresponding provisions of law. As used herein, the term “pursuit,” shall not be limited to “fresh pursuits,” but shall include all attempts to apprehend an offender/violator traveling from one agency’s jurisdictional area to another’s agency’s jurisdictional area. The procedure to be utilized shall be that, when practical, the pursuing officer shall notify the communications center of the agency in whose jurisdictional area the pursuit is taking place, as to the location of the pursuit and nature of the pursuit. Failure to follow these procedures, however, shall not invalidate the officer’s exercise of law enforcement Page 3 of 27 MutualAidAgreement2013-2015.doc 11/19/2014 4:33 PM Page 98 Item No. 19c authority, any arrests that occur, any searches or seizures that occur or otherwise affect the validity of any law enforcement action taken. c. Emergencies. Any on-duty officer of one agency who is in or near the jurisdictional area of another agency and therein observes an emergency situation, including, but not limited to, a vehicular accident, pedestrian accident, boating accident, drowning, person in need of emergency first aid, a breach of the peace, or otherwise, may intervene and assist for the purpose of preserving life, limb and property until such time an officer of the affected jurisdiction arrives. While so doing, the officer shall have the power to make any and all arrests and otherwise act with full authority as a law enforcement officer in the jurisdictional area of the other agency. The procedure to be followed is that notice shall be made to the affected agency in whose jurisdictional area the activity has occurred or is occurring as soon as reasonably possible, and, upon the arrival of an officer of the affected agency, such arriving officer shall take command of the emergency. In addition, upon arrival of the affected agency’s officer, such officer shall take custody of any arrestee, and collect evidence, fruits of any crime, instrumentalities of any crime, and safeguard any property. Failure to follow these procedures shall not invalidate or affect (i) the officer’s exercise of law enforcement authority, (ii) any arrests that occur, (iii) any searches that occur, or (iv) any law enforcement actions taken. d. Arrests Outside Jurisdiction. Any on-duty officer in whose presence is committed one or more of the following offenses: DUI; breach of the peace; aggravated abuse of an elderly person or disabled adult; aggravated child abuse; aggravated stalking; aircraft piracy; arson; assault; battery; burglary; carjacking; criminal mischief; escape; false imprisonment; resisting a law enforcement officer with violence to his or Page 4 of 27 MutualAidAgreement2013-2015.doc 11/19/2014 4:33 PM Page 99 Item No. 19c her person; retail theft; robbery; sexual battery; theft; unlawful throwing, placing or discharging a destructive device or bomb; willful and wanton reckless driving; felony violations of Chapter 893, Florida Statutes; or, any felony not hereinbefore listed; in the jurisdictional area of another agency, may affect the arrest of such offender and detain such offender until an officer of that other agency arrives, in which case the arrestee and all evidence shall be provided to the officer of such other agency in whose jurisdictional area the arrest occurred, who shall conclude the investigation, take custody of the arrestee, evidence, fruits of the crime, instrumentalities of the crime and secure all property of the arrestee. e. Off-Duty Activities. An officer of one agency may, while off duty and in the jurisdictional area of another agency, arrest offenders who commit in their presence any of the following offenses: DUI; breach of the peace; aggravated abuse of an elderly person or disabled adult; aggravated child abuse; aggravated stalking; aircraft piracy; arson; assault; battery; burglary; carjacking; criminal mischief; escape; false imprisonment; resisting a law enforcement officer with violence to his or her person; retail theft; robbery; sexual battery; theft; unlawful throwing, placing or discharging a destructive device or bomb; willful and wanton reckless driving; felony violations of Chapter 893, Florida Statutes; or, any felony not hereinbefore listed. An officer making an off-duty arrest outside of the jurisdictional area of their agency pursuant to this Agreement shall follow the procedures adopted by their agency for off-duty arrests. In addition to those procedures adopted by officer’s agency, an officer shall comply with the following additional procedures: 1) As soon as is practical after the subject has been arrested, the officer shall notify the agency in whose jurisdictional area the Page 5 of 27 MutualAidAgreement2013-2015.doc 11/19/2014 4:33 PM Page 100 Item No. 19c arrest occurred, at which time such agency shall assume responsibility for the arrestee, physical evidence relating to the arrest, fruits of the crime, instrumentalities of the crime, and shall secure the property of the arrestee pursuant to its own policies and procedures; and 2) The arresting officer and an officer from the agency in whose jurisdictional area the arrest occurred shall complete such reports, property receipts and other documents as are required by their respective agencies. 3) No deviation from any procedure outlined above shall invalidate an arrest or search and seizure, affect the law enforcement authority conferred upon any officer pursuant to this Agreement, or invalidate any other law enforcement action. f. Requested Assistance. At any time, an officer of any agency may request the assistance of an off-duty or on-duty officer of another agency. The request may be made for assistance due to emergencies, such as civil disturbances, “officer in trouble” calls, accidents, incidents wherein life, limb or property is in peril, catastrophes, or any other emergency, or for routine, non-emergency matters, such as requests that routine calls for law enforcement service be covered by the assisting agency while the requesting agency’s officers are busy handling more serious calls for service, or any other non-emergency request for assistance. The procedure for requesting and authorizing such assistance is as follows: 1) the requesting agency shall direct its request to the communications center of the assisting agency. 2) The shift commander or other responsible officer of the assisting agency, shall determine whether or not the assisting agency can Page 6 of 27 MutualAidAgreement2013-2015.doc 11/19/2014 4:33 PM Page 101 Item No. 19c provide the requested assistance and who from the assisting agency shall render such assistance. 3) The officer from the assisting agency may render such assistance as requested under the command of the requesting agency. g. Temporary Personnel Assignment. Any agency that is a party to this Agreement may request an inter-jurisdiction loan of personnel on a temporary basis for the purpose of assisting the requesting agency with specific objectives. For example, but not by way of limitation, one agency may borrow personnel from another agency to act in an undercover capacity within the requesting agency’s jurisdiction, or assist within the communications center or public safety answering point (PSAP) with telephone or radio activity. Such personnel loans may also be utilized for traffic and crowd control during special events, criminal investigations wherein specialized expertise is needed, to establish a task force to investigate organized criminal activity affecting the jurisdictional area of more than one agency, during times when 9-1-1 calls are alternately routed to the host agency, or for any other lawful purpose. During such temporary assignment, the requesting agency shall have command responsibility for the assisting officer or telecommunicator. The procedure for requesting this type of assistance shall be as follows: 1) The requesting agency shall direct its request, preferably in writing, to the Chief of Police, Sheriff, or agency head of the agency from which the requesting agency is requesting assistance. 2) The agency head of the assisting agency shall determine if the assisting agency is able to fulfill the request. Page 7 of 27 MutualAidAgreement2013-2015.doc 11/19/2014 4:33 PM Page 102 Item No. 19c 3) The agency requesting assistance shall have command responsibility for all personnel transferred pursuant to this Subparagraph 2.g. 4) The requesting agency and the assisting agency may, by contract, make provision for such issues as the amount of compensation that the requesting agency will pay the assisting agency, if any, for use of the assisting agency’s personnel. In the absence of any agreement on this issue, the assisting agency shall pay the compensation and other benefits for its own personnel while they are assigned to the requesting agency. The agreement between the requesting agency and the assisting agency may also provide for the distribution of forfeited currency or property. In the absence of an agreement to the contrary, the requesting agency shall retain all such forfeitures. The requesting agency and the assisting agency may make any other valid agreement without considerations to the provisions of this Agreement. 4) School Safety Officers. In addition to the rights and powers granted elsewhere in this Agreement, all of which are cumulative with this Subparagraph 2.h, School Board officers are hereby authorized to enforce any and all laws in an area within 1,000 feet of a school or school board property, irrespective of whether such area lies within the jurisdictional area of the School Board. Upon a School Board officer taking any enforcement action outside of the jurisdictional area of the School Board pursuant to this Subparagraph 2.h, such School Board officers shall proceed as if the enforcement action occurred within the jurisdictional area of Page 8 of 27 MutualAidAgreement2013-2015.doc 11/19/2014 4:33 PM Page 103 Item No. 19c the School Board, including following policies and procedures of the School Board of Brevard County, who shall retain command responsibility over all actions taken pursuant to this Subparagraph 2.h. A copy of the incident report shall be furnished to the agency in whose jurisdictional area the School Board officers have taken such enforcement action. 3. Indemnification. Under all of the circumstances enumerated hereinabove in Subparagraphs 2.a through 2.h, each jurisdiction to the extent provided by law shall have responsibility for any losses, damages or claims arising from the acts or omissions of its own employees, whether such acts or omissions occur within or without its jurisdiction. Furthermore, to the extent permitted by law, each jurisdiction shall indemnify and hold all other jurisdictions harmless for any losses, damages or claims (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in defense of any such claims) arising from the acts or omissions of its officers while such officers are engaged in activities outside their jurisdictions. In the event that any injury or loss is caused, in part, by the officer(s) of one jurisdiction and, in part, by the officer(s) of another jurisdiction, while any officers are acting outside of their jurisdiction, then each jurisdiction shall bear responsibility based on the percentage of its liability as determined by settlement or as finally adjudicated in a court of law. The provisions of this Paragraph 3 are not intended to, nor shall they operate to affect the rights, defenses, limitations, privileges and immunities of the parties pursuant to the provisions of Section 768.28(5), Florida Statutes, as amended from time to time, or any corresponding provisions of law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification hereinbefore set forth shall not be construed to constitute an Page 9 of 27 MutualAidAgreement2013-2015.doc 11/19/2014 4:33 PM Page 104 Item No. 19c agreement by any party to indemnify any other party for such other party’s negligent, reckless, willful or intentional acts or omissions. 4. Interpretation. This Agreement is intended to provide broad extra jurisdictional authority to the officers who are employed by the parties hereto. Any deviation from policies or procedures in attempting to exercise extraterritorial jurisdiction by any officer shall not affect the validity of any arrest or other law enforcement action taken pursuant to this Agreement.

Deputized Officers/Indemnity. To the extent that any officers of any of the jurisdictions that are party hereto have been deputized by the Sheriff, and to the extent that any of these officers act outside of their employing agency’s jurisdiction, the indemnity provisions contained in this Agreement shall apply to any acts or omissions of such officers while they act outside their jurisdiction, irrespective of the fact that such officers are sworn deputy sheriffs. 6. Command Responsibility. Except for the circumstances described in Subparagraphs 2.f, 2.g and 2.h hereinabove, command responsibility shall be determined as follows: a. When an officer is acting outside of the jurisdictional area of such officer’s agency pursuant to this Agreement, such officer’s agency shall have command responsibility over the officer’s actions, until such time as command responsibility is transferred to another agency pursuant hereto. b.

When an officer of one agency enters the jurisdictional area of another agency for the purpose of continuing a criminal investigation, or pursuing a subject, arising from an offense that occurred within the jurisdictional area of such officer’s agency, such officer’s agency shall retain command responsibility for such officer. d. The foregoing notwithstanding, should an emergency arise while an officer is acting outside of the jurisdictional area of such officer’s agency, such as injury to the officer, a hostage situation, a barricaded suspect, or any other emergency, the shift commander of the agency in whose jurisdictional area the emergency is occurring shall, upon arrival, have command responsibility for the emergency and all officers at the scene of the emergency until the emergency is resolved. The determination of when an emergency exists shall be within the discretion of the shift commander for the agency in whose jurisdictional area the emergency occurs. 7. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the benefit of the parties who are signatories hereto, and their officers, employees and agents. No other individual or entity is intended to benefit hereby. 8. Cumulative Effect. This Agreement is cumulative with laws, ordinances, resolutions or other agreements that relate to an officer’s exercise of law enforcement authority outside the jurisdictional area of the officer’s agency with respect to the parties to this Agreement.

Savings Clause. The parties agree that the provisions of this Agreement are severable and should any of its provisions, clauses or portions thereof be deemed invalid and of no force and effect, only that provision, clause or portion thereof shall fail and the remainder of this Agreement shall be in full force and effect. Furthermore, if the scope of this Agreement is too broad, then the parties intend for the Court to enforce the Agreement to the extent that it determines is reasonable. 10. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors or assigns of the parties hereto. 11. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Venue in any action to enforce or interpret this Agreement or any action related to the employment relationship created hereunder shall lie exclusively in the appropriate state court located in Brevard County, Florida. 12. Compensation for Assistance. Unless specifically agreed to in writing by the respective agencies, compensation to the assisting officer shall be paid by the agency that employs the officer. 13.

This includes several grant adjustments, recognition of additional insurance premium taxes used for public safety staff benefits, recognition of the lease proceeds and expenditures for the Police video systems, re-allocation of budget to cover leave payouts, recognition of Prior Year Surplus to cover higher than anticipated Workers’ Compensation charges and an increase in the subsidy to Golf Operations. The increase to the General Fund totals $1,391,951. During the fiscal year, two funds collected revenue below the level required to support expenditures. Golf Operations ended the year with a deficit of $376,482. Staff recommends an increase in the General Fund subsidy to cover this deficit. Workers’ Compensation ended the year with a deficit of $657,257. Staff recommends increasing department charges and utilizing Prior Year Surplus to cover this deficit. Several project budget adjustments are also included which net to a reduction of $35,254 to the Capital Improvements Fund. Additional details are found in the attached report. FISCAL IMPACT (IF APPLICABLE) The FY 13-14 budget year is concluded. The resolution recognizes operating expenditures and revenues that have already posted. The budget impact is an increase to the General Fund of $1,391,951; Workers’ Compensation Fund of $675,010; and a decrease in the Capital Improvement Fund of $35,254. REQUESTED ACTION Recommend approval of Resolution No. 3459. Page 134 Item No. 22 TO: Mayor & City Council FROM: Michael A. McNees, City Manager DATE: November 13, 2014 SUBJECT: Fourth Quarter Budget Review – September 2014 The net changes recommended to the Fund budgets in the Fourth Quarter Review are: $1,391,951 General Fund Golf Operations Fund Workers’ Compensation Fund Capital Improvement Fund $0 $675,010 ($35,254) While several of the City’s funds completed FY 2014 with adequate revenue collected to provide for the expenditures of the respective funds, there were notable exceptions prior to year-end accounting and audit entries. Golf Operations ended the year with a deficit of $376,482, requiring an additional General Fund transfer/subsidy of the same amount to stabilize the fund. The Workers’ Compensation Fund had expenses in excess of the amount budgeted for claims; requiring additional charges to several City departments and an additional transfer from Workers’ Compensation’s Prior Year Surplus. The additional Workers’ Compensation charges and the increased transfer to Golf Operations, require an additional General Fund transfer from Prior Year Surplus to offset these increased expenses in the General Fund. On a budgetary basis the Water and Sewer Fund had a surplus of approximately $3 million. 1 - General Fund: The General Fund completed the fiscal year with estimated revenues equaling 99.4% of budget. The final payments from the Local Option Gas Tax, Communications Services Tax, FPL Franchise Fees, Electric Utility Tax and ½ Cent Sales Tax are included as accrual estimates. Staff recommends increases to Fire Insurance Premium Tax and Casualty Insurance Premium Tax revenue which must be spent on Benefits Paid by Premium Tax. Staff also recommends that the revenue budgeted for several grants including the Bulletproof Vests grant, the Justice Assistance Program, Byrne Grant, VOCA and 2013 JAG Byrne grant, be adjusted to the actual amounts spent during the year. Staff further recommends an increase in the Transfer from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund (LETF) due to higher than anticipated legal costs during the year and an increase in Water and Sewer Rate of Return Charge due to higher than anticipated Water sales. Staff also recommends recognition of Lease Proceeds used for the Police Department’s in car video system. Expenditures were 98.3% of budget. Savings occurred in the Regular Salary (vacant positions) and Operating Expenditures (purchases deferred). At budget adoption, funding was set aside for leave payouts and a one-time pay bonus in the Non-departmental budget. In the fourth quarter, this funding is Page 135 Item No. 22 transferred as needed to individual divisions, listed below, for that purpose. Recommendations for budget amendments follow: City Manager – Recommend a decrease of $16,003 for the Salary and Benefits of the Internal Auditor who was transferred to Management Services in July 2014.

It is also recommended that $29,264 be reduced from Mallard’s Landing Golf Course budget and transferred to project #47011 Cart Storage Buildings at Mallard’s Landing due to higher than anticipated expenditures in the project. The net change to this budget is $0 after the Fourth Quarter Review. 6 - Risk Management Fund: Risk Management revenues were 99.9% of budget.

The bowling alley has been in operation since the late 1980’s at this location. Over time, portions of the masonry wall in the northeast corner of the property deteriorated and at some point, these sections were removed and a six-foot-tall opaque wooden fence was constructed. Current City Code standards for buffering would not require a masonry wall between a commercial use and a multi-family residential use; rather, a six-foot tall, opaque fence would be the minimum requirement. Additionally, the applicant is working with the Ocean Breeze Apartments manager, who supports the proposed opaque fence and would like to allow pedestrian access between the properties. Staff is able to support the request of a six-foot-tall wooden fence in lieu of the masonry wall, where adjacent to the common areas of Sonesta Walk and where adjacent to the apartments to the east. However, there are three residential townhome lots located adjacent to the northeast corner of the property, where staff is recommending that a masonry wall be constructed and not a wooden fence. The Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of this request at its November 6, 2014 meeting. FISCAL IMPACT (IF APPLICABLE) N/A REQUESTED ACTION Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 2014-70 based on the findings and conditions contained in the Planning and Zoning Board memorandum. Page 147 Item No. 23 MEMORANDUM Community Development Department TO: Michael A. McNees, City Manager THRU: Cindy Dittmer, AICP, Community Development Director FROM: Cheryl A. Dean, AICP, Planning Manager RE: Conditional Use Request (CU-2014-11) Substantial Change to previously approved Conditional Use – Florida Bowling Center (4851 Dairy Road) DATE: November 13, 2014 Owner/Applicant/Representative Rajendra Shah, Owner; Florida Bowling Center, LLC, Applicant; Patrick Watkinson, Manager, Representative Proposed Action The applicant is requesting a change to Condition a. of Ordinance 88-05 included in a 1987 conditional use approval, to allow the placement of a 6-foot opaque fence in lieu of a masonry wall along the north and east property lines, for a 4.36± acre property, zoned C-C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial with a conditional use to allow a bowling center and the consumption of alcoholic beverages onsite). Location The developed property is located on the east side of Dairy Road, south of Eber Boulevard and north of Palm Bay Road, in Township 28, Range 37, Section 21 – more specifically known as 4851 Dairy Road. History The property is a portion of the original Lot 24, Plat of Florida Indian River Land Company, as recorded in PB1, PG164. In 1988, City Council approved a Conditional Use for the construction of a bowling center that would also sell beer and wine for consumption on premises (CU-1987-21/Ordinance No. 88-05). The building currently located on the property was constructed in 1988 after the conditional use was approved. The adopting ordinance included specific conditions that were tied to the bowling alley, including the construction of a masonry wall along the north and east property lines. These were constructed with the development of the site. Page 148 Item No. 23 Over time, portions of the wall in the north east corner of the property deteriorated and at some point, these sections were removed and a 6-foot-tall opaque wooden fence was constructed. The applicant contends that when he purchased the property in 2008 (20± years after the center was first constructed), the wooden fence was already in place. Accordingly, he has provided the City with his original survey of the property (signed and sealed from 2007, just before the property was purchased). Adjacent Property Future Land Use and Zoning The property has a General Commercial Future Land Use designation. To the East: Landmark at Ocean Breeze Apartments Zoning: R-2 (One-, Two-, and Multi-Family Dwelling Medium Density District) Land Use: Medium Density Residential To the North: Sonesta Walk Subdivision (PB51, PG84) Zoning: R-2 (6) Land Use: Low Density Residential To the West: Across Dairy Road, Venetian Village Condominiums Zoning: C-C-1 Land Use: Mixed Use To the South: Undeveloped Commercial Land Zoning: C-2 (General Commercial) Land Use: General Commercial Issues and Considerations Recently, the applicant was working with the City to replace the existing wooden fence with new wooden panel fencing (Building Permit No. 14-0-2102), when they discovered that the original conditional use ordinance required a masonry wall. The applicant is requesting to replace the existing solid wood fence along the north and east property lines. Surrounding Area: The Conditional Use standards require a determination that the requested change to the approved Conditional Use will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare, and is in harmony with the general purpose of the zoning ordinance. The character and use of adjoining buildings and those in the vicinity, the number of persons residing or working in such buildings, and traffic conditions in the vicinity are all factors that shall be taken into account. Within a 500-foot radius of the subject property there is a mixture of townhomes, office, vacant commercial, and multiple-family residential uses. There are no single-family detached residential homes located within 500 feet of the bowling alley. The closest residential dwellings are three townhome lots located in the northeast corner of the Page 149 Item No. 23 bowling alley property (Sonesta Walk, Phase 2, Block D, Lots 42-44). The bowling alley building is more than 76 feet away from the residential property line. Directly behind the bowling alley is the Ocean Breeze Apartment Complex, originally built in 1985. Much of the deterioration of fencing is located between the two properties, partly because residents at the apartment complex have informally cut through the properties to go to the bowling alley. Current City Code standards for buffering would not require a masonry wall between a commercial use and a multi-family residential use; rather, a 6-foot tall, opaque fence would be the minimum requirement (Appendix D, Chapter 9, Article III, Section 9.44.1). The applicant has been working with the Ocean Breeze Apartments manager, who would like to allow pedestrian access between the properties (see attached letter). Generally, staff is able to support the use of a 6-foot-tall wooden fence in lieu of the masonry wall, specifically, where adjacent to the common areas of Sonesta Walk and where adjacent to the apartments to the east. However, there are three residential townhome lots located adjacent to the northeast corner of the property, where staff feels there should be a masonry wall used as the non-residential buffer. Roadway Access: The property abuts Dairy Road (100-foot wide Brevard County rightof-way) with two points of access onto the site. Other considerations A site plan is not required, since the building will not be altered by more than 50%. This is an existing site and therefore is not required to submit a rendering or environmental report. The proposed conditional use complies with the City’s Future Land Use Map and Comprehensive Plan policies. JPA review Comments The project is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement review area. Concurrency The site is currently developed; accordingly, the proposed use should not further impact public infrastructure systems and facilities. The Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of this request at its November 6, 2014 meeting. Recommendation Based on the findings contained in the Planning and Zoning Board memorandum, for a 4.36± acre developed property located on the east side of Dairy Road, south of Eber Boulevard and north of Palm Bay Road, in Township 28, Range 37, Section 21 – more Page 150 Item No. 23 specifically known as 4851 Dairy Road, the Planning and Zoning Board and the Community Development Department recommend: APPROVAL of CU-2014-11, for a Conditional Use approval to allow a 6-foot-tall opaque fence along the north and east property lines at an existing bowling alley, with the following conditions: a. The applicant will coordinate with the Ocean Breeze Apartment owner/manager to provide a pedestrian access gate between the two properties. b. The applicant will construct the wall where adjacent to the three residential town home lots. Page 151 Item No. 23 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Edward Coruzzi, Vice-Chairman Planning and Zoning Board RE: Conditional Use Request (CU-2014-11) Substantial Change to previously approved Conditional Use – Florida Bowling Center (4851 Dairy Road) DATE: November 6, 2014 City of Melbourne Planning & Economic Development Department APPLICANT: Florida Bowling Center, LLC REPRESENTATIVE: Patrick Watkinson, Manager The Planning and Zoning Board, at its regularly scheduled meeting of November 6, 2014, reviewed the above referenced request for Conditional Use approval. Following review and discussion, the Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of CU-2014-11 to allow the placement of a 6-foot opaque fence in lieu of a masonry wall along a portion of the north property line and all of the east property line a 4.36± acre property, zoned C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial) , with the following findings and conditions: Findings for the Conditional Uses (Appendix B, Article IX, Section 5) 1. The requested substantial change to a previously approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP), to utilize a 6-foot tall, solid wood fence along the north and east property lines where adjacent to residential common areas and multi-family property, is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. 2. The conditional use does not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area, public facilities, and private, commercial and/or service facilities available within the area. More specifically: a. The appearance and function of the area will not be significantly lessened due to the requested fence, since the fence will continue to provide a visual buffer and provide a gated access for the residents of the adjacent apartment complex, and since a masonry wall will still be provided adjacent to the single-family residential townhomes.

The application does not impact the preservation of any city, state or federally designated historic, scenic, archaeological, or cultural resources. c. The proposed fence removal/replacement does not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land and is compatible with other uses in the area and will provide better visibility. d. The proposal is consistent with the character and use of adjoining buildings since a 6-foot tall wooden fence would be permitted by current code standards. 3. The existing bowling alley is not expanding the building nor changing any other site improvements, so there will be no increase in intensity of use on the property. 4. The wooden fence does not have a detrimental impact on the transportation system, since the site is already developed and these types of site improvements will not further impact public infrastructure systems and facilities Conditions a. The applicant will coordinate with the Ocean Breeze Apartment owner/manager to provide a pedestrian access gate between the two properties. b. The applicant will construct a 6-foot masonry wall where adjacent to the three residential townhome lots.

A final master plat was approved by City Council in September 2014, and this request is for Tract A of the Master Plat. The property was also rezoned to R-1B and designated with a Low Density Residential Future Land Use classification (maximum six units per acre) in May 2014. The preliminary re-plat will have a density of 4.1± units per acre. A total of 16 lots is proposed at a minimum 50-foot width and 17 lots are proposed at a minimum 65-foot width. The applicant is providing 0.85± acres of usable open space, where a fitness trail is proposed, along with lake view benches. The subdivision will provide a single, gated entrance point onto Grand Meadows Boulevard on the north end of the project. The applicant has provided a 50-foot-wide ingress/egress tract in the southeast corner for a future driveway connection between the commercial properties. City staff supports this vehicular connection, given the development potential of adjacent commercial properties and given that the parallel driveway will relieve some of the traffic on Wickham Road. The Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of this request at its November 6, 2014 meeting. FISCAL IMPACT (IF APPLICABLE) N/A REQUESTED ACTION Recommend approval of SD-2013-05 based on the findings and conditions contained within the Planning and Zoning Board memorandum.

Location The property is located on the southwest corner of North Wickham Road and Grand Meadows Boulevard, in Township 27 south, Range 36 east, Section 01. History 2005: 16.84± acre property annexed into the City (AR-2004-165/Ordinance No. 200545; CPA-2004-26/Ordinance No. 2005-46; Z-2004-1010/Ordinance No. 200547), with R-2 (7) (One-, Two-, and Multiple-Family Dwelling Medium Density Residential District with a cap of 7 units per acre) on western 11.31± acres and C-1 on the eastern 5.53± acres. 2006: Council approves a site plan for a 78-unit townhome-style condominium project on the western 11.31± acres zoned R-2 (7) (Crossings at Baymeadows/SP2005-15a). 2008: Western 6-foot-tall masonry wall and shared stormwater pond constructed on the property in conjunction with the development of Starbucks and first multitenant building on adjacent 5.53± acre commercial property (SP-2005-15b). 2014: (January) City Council approves preliminary master plat for the entire 16.84± acre property (SD-2013-02PP).

This land had been partially developed and previously cleared for the 2005 project, including a stormwater pond and a 6-foot-tall masonry wall along the western property line. The overall density for the 33 lot development will be 4.1± units per acre, which is below the maximum allowed 6 units per acre. The average lot size is 6,000± square feet, minimum lot width is 50 feet, and the provided lot depth is 120 feet (code requires half of the lots to have a minimum of 50 x 100 or 5,000 square feet and the other half to have a minimum of 65 x 100 or 6,500 square feet). The applicant is providing 0.85± acres of usable open space, where a fitness trail is proposed, along with lake view benches. There are eight (8) tracts proposed: TRACT USE A B C D Private Road Right-of-Way Drainage/Stormwater/Utility/Landscape Amenities/Signage Drainage/Stormwater/Utility/Usable Open Space/ Signage Private Ingress-Egress/Stormwater/Utility/Usable Open Space Page 161 Acres 1.40± 0.12± 0.19± 0.32± Item No. 24 TRACT E F G H USE Drainage/Stormwater/Utility/Usable Open Space Drainage/Stormwater/Utility/Usable Open Space Landscape/Stormwater/Utility Landscape/Stormwater/Utility Acres 0.14± 0.40± 50 sq.ft. 97 sq.ft. Open Space Requirements for R-1B Zoning: City Code, Appendix B, Article V, Section 2(D), Table 2A, Footnote 2, identifies that ten percent (10%) usable open space is required for R-1B zoned subdivisions, which includes improved areas that are accessible to all residents. For this project, a minimum of 0.81± acres of usable open space is required. In the attached Baymeadows Lakes exhibit (EX-1), the applicant is proposing a landscaped fitness trail, and lake view benches. The fitness trail identified in adjacent master stormwater pond (Tract C of the Master Plat), will connect the fitness trails but is not included in the usable open space calculation. The details of the improvements and final design of the usable open space development tracts will be reviewed and permitted during the construction plan review process and final plat. Access to Wickham Road: The project will provide a single entrance point onto Grand Meadows Boulevard (a 100-foot wide public road right-of-way) on the north end of the project, which connects to Wickham Road (a 4-lane, divided, county-maintained, arterial roadway). Tract A is proposed for Tabitha Court, which is a private, gated, road right-ofway serving the project. Previous Driveway Connection to the south: In 2005, the Crossings at Baymeadows site plan (for the entire 16.84± acres) provided a driveway stub-out for future connection to the south. The property to the south was subsequently approved for development (Parkway Commons Retail/SP-2007-17), linking a driveway to this stub-out and providing vehicular access to a proposed traffic signal on Wickham Road, designed at the entrance to the Senior Center at Wickham Park. This driveway created a vehicular route parallel to Wickham Road, with the ability to turn left/north onto Wickham Road via a future traffic signal. Though both site plan projects are no longer active, City staff continues to support this vehicular connection, especially given the development potential of these undeveloped commercial properties and given that the parallel driveway will relieve some of the traffic on Wickham Road. The issue is that the driveway stub-out is physically located on the residential property. In an effort to foster the interconnectivity, the applicant has provided this connection via Tract D at the southeast corner of the residential property for the purpose of allowing a future driveway connection on the property. Accordingly, staff has placed a condition that the necessary tract for this future driveway connection between the commercial properties be solidified prior to the recordation of the residential subdivision. Staff will work with adjacent commercial properties for the actual construction of the driveway. Other Site Development Requirements: Sidewalks are required to be provided on both sides of a residential subdivision street (Appendix D, Chapter 8, Section 8.6(B)(7)a.). Page 162 Item No. 24 The site will meet all requirements of Appendix D, Chapter 9, Article XV, for landscape areas at the time of construction plan approval. The recently recorded stormwater management system (Tract C of the Master Plat) serves this project, as well as the adjacent 5.53± acre commercial property and will be required to meet City Code, Chapter 27. Environmental Impact Analysis An environmental impact analysis was prepared by Atlantic Environmental Solutions, of Melbourne, Florida, dated August 29, 2013.

The applicant is Nomad Cafe, Inc., and they lease the property for their restaurant business and have the owner’s authorization to make the proposed grant improvements. This applicant used the program previously in 2012, and received $3,880.60 in CRA funding for façade renovations. Although they previously used the program in 2012, the guidelines provide eligibility to apply for a successive grant, because they received less than $10,001 of grant funding. Exterior renovations include: trellis installation, carpentry/decorative trim, electrical/lighting, painting, landscape, parking asphalt seal, and parking striping. The estimated cost for the eligible exterior improvements is $24,500. The property owner is requesting $8,085 of façade program grant funding for the improvements. Thereby, the grant is leveraging two dollars of private capital investment for every CRA dollar invested into the project. On November 6, 2014, the Melbourne Downtown CRA Advisory Committee voted to recommend that City Council approve $8,085 in CRA funding to Nomad Cafe, Inc., for the proposed façade improvements at 2002 South Harbor City Boulevard. FISCAL IMPACT (IF APPLICABLE) The Downtown Melbourne Façade Program project line item “18099” has the available funding for this façade grant. REQUESTED ACTION Recommend approval of an $8,085 Downtown Melbourne façade improvement program grant for 2002 South Harbor City Boulevard, and authorization for the City Manager to execute a grant agreement with the applicant.

Harbor City Boulevard DATE: November 13, 2014 On October 2, 2014, a Downtown Melbourne CRA Façade Improvement Program Application was received for exterior renovations to a restaurant located at 2002 South Harbor City Boulevard. The applicant is Nomad Cafe, Inc., and they lease the property for their restaurant business and have the owner’s authorization to make the proposed grant improvements. This applicant has used the program previously in 2012, and received $3,880.60 in CRA funding for façade renovations. Although they previously used the program in 2012, the guidelines provide eligibility to apply for a successive grant because they received less than $10,001 of grant funding. The proposed exterior renovation is an extensive façade improvement. Exterior renovations include: trellis installation, carpentry/decorative trim, electrical/lighting, painting, landscape, parking asphalt seal, and parking striping. The estimated cost for the eligible exterior improvements is $24,500. The applicant is requesting $8,085 in façade program grant funding for the improvements. Therefore, private leverage of capital investment is approximately $2.00 for every $1.00 in grant funding toward this project. Photographs of the existing building and details of the proposed improvements are included in the package. The Architectural Review Board approved the proposed exterior improvements on September 17, 2014. On September 16, 2014, the Melbourne Main Street Design Committee also reviewed the application, and recommended the CRA Advisory Committee make a recommendation to City Council to commit funding to the project. Since this application falls within the Core Area of the Downtown Melbourne CRA, the program allows the applicant to receive a 33% grant reimbursement up to $20,000. Page 175 Item No. 25 The façade grant program is provided to assist property owners or businesses with exterior building improvements, which in turn, improves the appearance of the commercial district. City Council, as the CRA, established new Façade improvement program guidelines beginning on October 1, 2014, in order to ensure higher levels of private capital investment for grants provided in the original Downtown Core Area of the CRA. Therefore, projects within the central commercial area are now eligible to receive a 33% grant reimbursement. On November 6, 2014, the Downtown Melbourne CRA Advisory Committee voted to recommend that City Council approve $8,085 in CRA funding to Nomad Cafe, Inc., for the proposed façade improvements at 2002 South Harbor City Boulevard. The program is a reimbursement grant; therefore, the applicant will not receive any funding until they complete the exterior improvements within the application. Recommendation Recommend approval of an $8,085 Downtown Melbourne Façade Improvement Program grant for 2002 South Harbor City Boulevard, and authorization for the City Manager to execute a grant agreement with the applicant.
