SUBJECT
Ordinance No. 2014-68: Conditional Use Request (CU-2014-08) for the consumption of beer
and wine on the premises (Imperial Salon and Spa).
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.

Conditional Use Request (CU-2014-08) for Consumption of Beer and

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
None known at this time.

Approval of Ordinance 2014-69.

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;

assembly permits;

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.

Adverse Effects of Group Feeding in Melbourne Parks for Group Feeding in Melbourne
Mr. Briski - my husband and I have been residents of Melbourne Harbor and the Harbor Walk One
condominium since 1999. 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.

WHEREAS, 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
not limited to rules and regulations governing the use of City-owned or controlled public parks
and public facilities; and
WHEREAS, the City of Melbourne 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
WHEREAS, the City of Melbourne encourages use of City-owned or controlled parks by
City residents in a safe, sanitary, and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere; and
WHEREAS, 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
WHEREAS, large group feedings in public parks owned or controlled by the City require
Page 2 of 34
Page 35
Item No. 9
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
WHEREAS, the City of Melbourne is experiencing a steady and significant increase in
residential and other growth and a corresponding competition for park space and usage by
citizens; and
WHEREAS, 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 for large
group feedings would resolve; and
WHEREAS, 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
WHEREAS, 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
WHEREAS, 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
WHEREAS, aesthetics of parks and other City property is a significant and important
Page 3 of 34
Page 36
Item No. 9
government interest; and
WHEREAS, the safety of pedestrian traffic in City rights-of-way and parks is a significant
and important government interest; and
WHEREAS, the health, safety and welfare of Melbourne citizens is a significant and
important government interest; and
WHEREAS, 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.

Purpose; findings; intent; authority; recitals; First Amendment protection
(a)
Purpose. It is the purpose of this chapter to promulgate rules and regulations
regarding the use of city owned or controlled parks or recreational facilities in the interest of
public health, safety and welfare. 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
(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
(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.
(c)
Intent. It is the intent of this chapter to protect and preserve the good order,
health, peace, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City of Melbourne.
(d)
Authority. 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.

Recitals. It is the city council’s further intention to accomplish those intents and
purposes expressed by the city council in the recitals of the ordinance creating this section,
which are incorporated by reference into this section.

consideration of the date, time, place, and nature of the assembly, the anticipated
number of participants, and the necessity for an amount of city services which will
be required in connection therewith, the director after consultation with other
directors and the chief of police determines that such waiver will not present a
hazard to the public safety because of the reduced amount of time available within
which to fully process the application. The application shall be signed by the
applicant under oath. If an application seeks permits for more than one event,
each separate event requested will be subject to all fees and requirements
pursuant to this Chapter.
(2)

fees approved by city council.
c.
For an outdoor public assembly, the permittee shall post a security deposit
of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) made payable to the City of Melbourne
to cover the cost of repairing any damage to the hardscape, hardscape
furnishings, and landscape caused by the public assembly. The deposit
shall be filed with the director prior to the issuance of a permit. The staff will
inspect the public assembly area prior to the event and any pre-existing
damage will be noted in a damage report. The staff will inspect the public
assembly area after the event and determine if any damage was incurred
Page 27 of 34
Page 60
Item No. 9
during the event, including set-up and take down. The cost of repairing or
replacing any damaged items or areas shall be deducted from the security
deposit, and the balance remaining, if any, shall be returned to the
permittee within thirty (30) days of the date of the event. If the cost of repair
or replacement exceeds the amount of the security deposit, the director

to the United States Constitution, (2) will occur in a public forum, (3) the
fees would be so financially burdensome that it would preclude the
applicant from exercising First Amendment rights, and (4) adequate
alternate channels of expression are not available. Within five (5) calendar
days of a written request from the applicant to waive the fees, the director
shall render a written decision on whether the fees shall be waived and
shall set forth the reasons for the decision. An applicant wishing to appeal
the decision of the director may file a request for immediate judicial review
with a court having jurisdiction thereof, or in the alternative, may file an
appeal to city council within five (5) days after receipt of the notice of denial
by filing a written notice with the director, with a copy delivered to the city
clerk, and such appeal shall be considered at the next regularly scheduled
city council meeting. An applicant wishing to appeal the decision of city
council may file a request for immediate judicial review with a court having
jurisdiction thereof.
Sec. 18-26. Police protection.
The chief of police shall determine whether and to what extent additional police protection
reasonably will be necessary for the outdoor public assembly for purposes of traffic control and
public safety. The chief of police shall base this decision on the size, location, duration, time and
date of the event, the expected sale or service of alcoholic beverages, the number of streets
and intersections to be blocked and the need to detour or preempt ordinary citizen travel and
use of the streets and sidewalks. The content of the speech or event will not be a factor in
determining the amount of police protection necessary. If additional police protection for the
assembly is deemed necessary by the chief of police, he shall so inform the applicant for the
permit. The applicant then shall have the duty to secure the police protection deemed necessary
by the chief of police at the sole expense of the applicant who shall prepay the expenses of
such protection.

with the subsequent proposed application, the resulting deployment of police
services would have an immediate and adverse effect upon the welfare and safety
of persons and property.

for that event are so great that the deployment of police services for the proposed

Retrofit - Project No. 64212
CITY OF MELBOURNE
Engineering Department
This is a task order with Bussen-Mayer Engineering Group, Inc. (BMEG) for professional
engineering services for the final design of an eastbound right-turn lane addition on Sarno
Road at the U.S. Highway 1 intersection and a stormwater retrofit to provide dry retention
water quality treatment for the new turn lane and existing development which currently
lacks treatment. In previous Task Order No. BMEG 028, intersection survey and
preliminary project design was performed.
Background
The City created this project to provide a dedicated right-turn lane for eastbound Sarno
Road traffic turning south. The project is funded through transportation impact fees. The
City recently purchased properties at the southeast corner of the intersection to construct
the right-turn lane and stormwater dry retention pond.
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).

Cocoa Beach, Indialantic, Indian Harbour Beach, Melbourne, Melbourne Beach, Melbourne
Village, Palm Bay, Rockledge, Satellite Beach, Titusville, and West Melbourne. 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

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
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.

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

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 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
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 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.

direction of their officers, not intended to limit the exercise of jurisdiction
pursuant to this Agreement.

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.

Except for the circumstances described in
Subparagraphs 2.f, 2.g and 2.h hereinabove, command responsibility shall be
determined as follows:

agency, then, upon arrival of an officer from the agency in whose
jurisdictional area the crime occurred, that arriving officer shall assume,
thereafter, command responsibility for the arrestee, property, and criminal
investigation.

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

manholes to eliminate inflow and infiltration into the sewer system thus reducing the cost to treat
sewer water at the treatment plants. Rehabilitation includes patching all holes and leaks into the

SUBJECT
Resolution No. 3459: Fourth quarter budget review recommendations.
Each quarter Budget staff recaps the City’s budget versus actual progress for the year in a
report to Council. This report covers the period from October 2013 through September 2014.
The report also makes recommendations for Council approval of the final budget adjustments
for the previous fiscal year.
Budget adjustments to the General Fund are recommended to recognize adjustments to
revenue and their associated appropriations. 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.
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.

Item No. 22
TO:
Mayor & City Council

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.
The amount available was reduced due to leave payouts made to retiring staff.
Management Services Administration – Recommend an increase of $33,382 to
the Salary and Benefit accounts for the Internal Auditor who was transferred to
Management Services in July 2014.
Personnel – Recommend an increase of $37,000 to Regular Salaries to fund

fund leave buybacks and Council approved pay adjustments.
It is also

approved for payment of claims incurred by Police Operations staff. Staff also
recommends increases to Overtime ($30,000), and LETF Legal Expenses
($31,594) to support incurred expenditures. Staff further recommends grant
related adjustments which defer $63,189 in grant expenses to FY 15. Staff also
recommends that Lease Proceeds be allocated to Machinery and Equipment
($497,468) and Intangible – Computer Software ($62,700) for the purchase of the
Police Department’s in-car video system.
Police Support – Recommend a decrease to LETF Drug Prevention and LETF
GIA – Govt. to reduce these accounts to the actual amounts spent during the year,
and transfer remaining funding to LETF Legal Expense in Police Operations. It is
also recommended that $4,000 is transferred from Repair and Maintenance –
Building to Project #18115 PD Modular Storage System to cover higher than
anticipated expenditures in that project.
Fire Administration - Recommend an increase of $49,048 to Regular Salaries to
fund leave payouts for retiring employees.
Traffic Engineering – Recommend an increase of $18,000 to Regular Salaries to
fund leave buybacks and the Council approved one time bonus.
Non-departmental – Recommend a decrease of $321,006 to Regular Salaries for
transfers to Divisions for Council approved pay adjustments and leave payouts.
Staff recommends an increase of $182,648 to Benefits Paid by Premium Tax due
to increased revenue from Fire and Casualty Insurance Premium Taxes. It is also
recommended that the Transfer to Golf Operations be increased by $376,482 to
cover overages caused by revenue shortfalls throughout the year and that the
Page 136
2
Item No. 22
transfer to Project #18115 PD Modular Storage System be increased by $4,000.
The General Fund budget increases by $1,391,951 following the Fourth Quarter
Adjustments.

The Housing and Urban Improvement grants are received primarily on a
reimbursement basis.
At the end of the year there may be outstanding

of budget. Expenditures were 49.6% of budget.
The Special Revenue Funds budgets are unchanged following the Fourth Quarter
Review.
3 - Water and Sewer Fund:
Collected revenues were 116.3% of budget. Expenditures were 88.4% of the

capital projects in lieu of bond funding.
4 - Stormwater Utility Fund:
Stormwater revenues were 98.5% of budget. Expenditures were 95.1% of budget.
The Stormwater Fund budget is unchanged following the Fourth Quarter Review.
5 - Golf Course Fund:
Collected revenues were 79.5% of budget and were insufficient to provide for the
expenditures of this Fund. Expenditures were 93.3% of budget. Expenditures
exceeded revenue by $376,482.
It is recommended that a transfer/subsidy from the General Fund in the amount of
$376,482 be provided and that other revenue budgets which fell short of
expectations be reduced by the same amount. 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. Expenditures were 78.4% of
budget due primarily to lower insurance claims. No changes to this budget are
recommended.
7 - Workers Compensation Fund:
Workers Compensation revenues were 125.3% of budget due to the charges to user
departments associated with increased claims. It is recommended that User
Charges be increased, and that the $200,000 remainder needed be funded from
Page 137

SUBJECT
Ordinance No. 2014-70: Substantial change to previously approved conditional use (CU-201411) Florida Bowling Center - 4851 Dairy Road
This is a request to change Condition a. of Ordinance 88-05 of a 1987 conditional use approval,
to allow the placement of a six-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).
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.
November 6, 2014 meeting.

REQUESTED ACTION
Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 2014-70 based on the findings and conditions
contained in the Planning and Zoning Board memorandum.

RE:
Conditional Use Request (CU-2014-11) Substantial Change to
previously approved Conditional Use – Florida Bowling Center (4851
Dairy Road)
DATE:
November 13, 2014
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).
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)
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.

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

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.
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.

b.
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.

SUBJECT
Preliminary Plat Approval Request (SD-2013-05) Crossings at Baymeadows Lakes, Phase 2
This is a request for preliminary re-plat approval for a 33-lot, single-family subdivision, on 8.13±
acres, located on the south side of Grand Meadows Boulevard and west of Wickham Road. 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.

Analysis of the Preliminary Plat
This property is the western portion of a previously approved mixed use site plan
project. 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:

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 following environmental information for
the site was provided:
General Site Information: The entire 11.31± acre property is composed entirely
of uplands, as well as surfaces waters. The project is located within the Atlantic
Coastal Edge Geological Community.
Soils: The property consists of Myakka Sand soils, which are nearly level,
poorly drained sandy soils that are typically found in areas between sand ridges
and sloughs/ponds.
Vegetative Cover: The subject property is considered to be primarily Open
Land (FLUCFCS Habitat Classification #190), with 2.8± acres of Reservoirs less
than 10 acres (FLUCFCS Habitat Classification #534). The site was cleared as
part of a previously approved development, filled, and is mowed on a regular
basis.
Wetlands, Flood Plain and Aquifer Recharge Information: There are no
wetlands on the property, which is located entirely within Flood Zone X. Created
in conjunction with a prior development project, there are two man-made ponds
totaling 2.8± acres of surface waters on the property. The property does not fall
within a potential aquifer recharge area, according to the report.
Wildlife Information: Due to the existing developed conditions of the property,
the report indicates that it is unlikely that any of the listed species are utilizing the
site.
As with all projects, applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan
approval, if necessary.
WATER AND SEWER CONCURRENCY
The City’s Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable
water and City sewer are available to serve the subject site. The combined water and
sewer impact fee per unit is $3,750.00 ($1,540/water and $2,210/sewer).
Capacity Reservation for Project: The following is a breakdown of the impact fees
for water and sewer service.

*The 1% capacity reservation for water and sewer is $1,237.50.
Mobility
The subject property is located within Mobility District E (North Wickham Road).
Mobility District E is a transportation concurrency exception area.
The applicant is proposing to add 33 single-family residential homes to the property.
Total new trip generation for this project is estimated to be approximately 316 trips per
day via access from Wickham Road (based upon ITE Land Use Code 210 – SingleFamily Detached Housing). For mobility purposes, the applicant will be required to
provide five (5) mobility improvements. The mobility improvements will need to be
completed in conjunction with the installation of the subdivision infrastructure and the
issuance of a certificate of completion for the project.
The applicant can also choose to make a payment in lieu of constructing the mobility
improvements. Based upon the proposed use of 33 single-family homes, the payment
in lieu of amount will be $3,047 per unit for a total of $100,551. A one percent deposit
of $1,005.51 is required within ninety (90) after preliminary plat approval. Final payment
of the remaining balance will be due at the time building permits are issued by the City.
The applicant can also choose to do a combination of providing mobility improvements
and making a payment in lieu of constructing the mobility improvements.
School Concurrency
The applicant has submitted a school concurrency application to the School Board.
This application will permit the School District staff to perform a school impact analysis
regarding the proposed change.

Downtown Melbourne CRA façade improvement program grant application (2002 South Harbor
City Boulevard)
This is a request for a façade improvement grant for exterior renovations to a building 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 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.
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.

Downtown Melbourne CRA Façade Improvement Program
Application 2002 S. 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.
