Cape Canaveral Vision Statement
We envision: A bikeable and walkable Cape Canaveral that retains and enhances its residential
feel, characterized by low-rise buildings. This residential and business friendly atmosphere is a
liveable, attractive, safe, inclusive and sustainable coastal community that embraces the seaside
and riverside as the main amenities, and supports local culture, commerce and education.
We envision: A1A as a “complete street” with a native-landscaped and tree-lined median with
traffic calming elements and dark-sky street lighting. “Complete street” amenities include bicycle
facilities, covered transit stops, and safe pedestrian crossings that invite pedestrians and bicyclists
to access the beach, river, local neighborhoods and adjacent communities. Our improved
“complete streets” will allow us to travel calmly to intimate waterfront destinations and a walk-
able uptown core. Multi-use paths lined with shade trees should be wide enough for bikes and
pedestrians and lighted so anyone can walk or bicycle safely anywhere in town, day or night.
We envision: Welcoming community entrance features that create a sense of arrival and unique
community identity. The “uptown” and other areas will contain an architecturally rich and unique
mix of uses, with wide tree shaded sidewalks and umbrella covered café tables at restaurants and
bistros where friends gather, interact, and enjoy drinks and dinner.
We envision: A community that; removes or transforms blighted and unfinished buildings into
attractive structures, offers city-wide green spaces, provides a pet-friendly park with ample shade,
and actively recruits and supports businesses that enhance economic viability and serve our
residents and visitors.
We envision: Open shorelines and rivers accessible to the public including amenities that take
advantage of the water, such as limited and quaint water-view establishments and intimate public
gathering and entertainment places that may include pavilions, gazebos, or a performance stage.

ZIKA UPDATE
Gov. Rick Scott says the state will experience a Zika disaster if federal authorities don't
immediately provide money to help battle the virus. The Governor sent a letter to President
Barack Obama on Wednesday. He said officials are trying to ensure that mosquitoes in
Florida don't start transmitting the virus. To do that, he said the state needs money to buy
insecticides and spraying equipment. Florida has one of the highest numbers of residents
who caught the virus while traveling outside the country. (Associated Press)
Medical Update:
A team of scientists that includes Arizona researchers has developed an inexpensive test
that can detect the disease even in regions with limited medical resources. The test involves
a series of biological reactions that take place not in cells, but on a strip of paper imprinted
with yellow dots that turn purple when RNA, a complex molecule similar to DNA, is
detected in a drop of Zika-infected blood.
Three infants born in the U.S. are hospitalized with Zika linked microcephaly. The Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention says there are more than 300 pregnant women in the
U.S. with "laboratory evidence of possible Zika virus infection."
City Safety Committee members will participate in a Center for Disease Control webinar
sponsored by the National Recreation and Parks Association, June 7, 2016 at 1:30 PM,
intended to provide necessary tools and knowledge on how best prevent the spread of the
virus as well as advance public awareness.

recommendation will be made to City Council at the June 21st meeting. Project will collect
stormwater from a 30-acre area in the Presidential streets for infiltration into the surficial
aquifer beneath the two ballfields. A significant amount of stormwater will thus be
removed from the City’s stormwater system and the Banana River Lagoon. As part of the
grant requirements, an informational kiosk was installed at the Youth Center to inform
residents of the upcoming construction activities. This Project was originally to be funded
through the City’s SRF loan. However, two grants were received from (1) FDEP and (2)
State Legislature funds.
Infrastructure Maintenance (IM)
North Atlantic Avenue Streetscape Project. Contractor initiated sidewalk construction
on North Atlantic Avenue north of West Central Boulevard. Pedway construction on the
western side of the street continues south of West Central Boulevard. Due to utilities being
present at shallow depths along the western side of the street, the pedway will be
constructed with six-inch thick concrete in lieu of asphalt. Maintenance of traffic (MOT)
includes closure of one lane on North Atlantic Avenue during working hours; flagmen are
utilized to direct traffic. All roads will be open after working hours. Estimated time of
construction is eight months (end of September 2016). NOTE: All businesses in the
North Atlantic Avenue corridor will remain open during construction activities. In
addition, Florida City Gas Company is performing construction tasks in the vicinity
of the intersection with SR A1A which will require temporary lane closures.

to discuss the City’s EPA 319 Grant application (Banana River Park and Manatee
Sanctuary Park Shoreline Protection Project). The purpose of the teleconference was to
further inform FDEP of the benefits of the Project. The City is requesting $98,400 from
FDEP to armor the Banana River shoreline along Manatee Sanctuary Park and Banana
River Park. If the Project is accepted by FDEP, the City’s matching commitment will be
$65,600.
Manatee Sanctuary Park Safety Timers. IM Staff completed the installation of control
panels and battery back-ups (i.e., timers) for the restrooms at Manatee Sanctuary Park. The
daily task of locking and unlocking restrooms performed by City Staff and volunteers –
including weekends – has been eliminated and public safety has been improved. Doors
automatically de-activate (unlock) at 7:00 am and activate (lock) at 7:00 pm. Upon
activation, the LED (light-emitting diode) control button labeled “Push to Exit” is
illuminated and Park visitors can easily and safely exit the restrooms.

633.202 Florida Fire Prevention Code.—
(1) The State Fire Marshal shall adopt, by rule pursuant to ss. 120.536(1) and 120.54, the
Florida Fire Prevention Code which shall contain or incorporate by reference all firesafety
laws and rules that pertain to and govern the design, construction, erection, alteration,
modification, repair, and demolition of public and private buildings, structures, and facilities
and the enforcement of such firesafety laws and rules. The State Fire Marshal shall adopt a
new edition of the Florida Fire Prevention Code every third year. THIS SHOULD EXPLAIN
WHY THE CODE CONTINUES TO CHANGE.
633.208 Minimum firesafety standards.—
(1) The Florida Fire Prevention Code adopted by the State Fire Marshal, which shall
operate in conjunction with the Florida Building Code, shall be deemed adopted by each
municipality, county, and special district with firesafety responsibilities. The minimum
firesafety codes do not apply to buildings and structures subject to the uniform firesafety
standards under s. 633.206 and buildings and structures subject to the minimum firesafety
standards adopted pursuant to s. 394.879.
(2) Pursuant to subsection (1), each municipality, county, and special district with
firesafety responsibilities shall enforce the Florida Fire Prevention Code as the minimum
firesafety code required by this section.
(3) Such code shall be a minimum code, and a municipality, county, or special district with
firesafety responsibilities may adopt more stringent firesafety standards, subject to the
requirements of this subsection. THE CITY HAS NOT ADOPTED MORE STRINGENT
STANDARDS.
Part of this adopted standard is the National Fire Protection Associations (NFPA) 1 2012
Edition.
NFPA-1 2012 Edition
10.11.6 Cooking Equipment.
10.11.6.1 For other than one- and two-family dwellings, no hibachi, grill, or other similar
devices used for cooking, heating, or any other purpose shall be used or kindled on any
balcony, under any overhanging portion, or within 10 ft (3 m) of any structure.
10.11.6.2 For other than one-and two-family dwellings, no hibachi, grill, or other similar
devices used for cooking shall be stored on a balcony.
10.11.6.3* Listed equipment permanently installed in accordance with its listing, applicable
codes, and manufacturer's instructions shall be permitted
This is a change from the previous adopted Edition which specifically allowed Electric grills.
Electric grills are those that have heating elements exposed like the coil type stoves.
There is considerable talk about changing this back but no action has been taken.
It is not our intent to limit the use of items such as Crock Pots or George Foremen type units
from being used on balconies. Although, some Departments have interpreted the Code in this
way.
National Fire Protection Association Fire Analysis & Research Home Fires Involving Grills Fact Sheet.
In 2007‐2011, U.S. fire departments responded to an average of 8,800 home fires involving grills,
hibachis, or barbecues per year, including an average of 3,800 structure fires and 5,000 outside fires.
These 8,800 fires caused annual average of 10 civilian deaths, 140 reported civilian injuries, and $96
million in direct property damage.
∙ Almost all the losses resulted from structure fires.
∙ July was the peak month for grill fires but these incidents occur throughout the year.
Our Department has experienced numerous issues with Grills on Balconies from gas leaks
to fires. We have not experienced any electric grill fires at this time.
We do not patrol looking for grills but inform the associations or owners of the rule; however we do
respond to complaints.
