Todd Morley, Building Official, explained that when Ordinance No. 04-2003 was
written, the intent was to require Community Appearance Board approval for any
change to the exterior of a building or roof color in the commercial zoning district.
When the change of color issue was discussed and codified in 2003, the
codification had the unintended effect of appearing to remove all residential
development from the scope of the Community Appearance Board. Mr. Morley
advised that the solution was to insert the words "in all zoning districts" in the first
sentence of Section 22-40(a). Mr. Morley read the code section for the record.
Discussion followed.
Chairperson McNeely asked if the Community Appearance Board had been
informed of the proposed code clarification. Mr. Morley responded that the
Community Appearance Board was not made aware of the proposed code
amendment, because the purpose was to preserve the original intent; however,
he could inform the Board before the change is presented to the City Council.
Assistant City Attorney, Kate Latorre, advised that she would present the
proposed code clarification to the Community Appearance Board at their meeting
Monday evening.
Motion by Harry Pearson, seconded by Lamar Russell, to recommend approval
of the proposed ordinance amending Section 22-40, clarifying which properties
were subject to Community Appearance Board review. Vote on the motion
carried unanimously.
3. Review and Recommendation to Citv Council Re: Proposed Code
Amendment, Section 110-28, Courtesy Notices.
Todd Morley, Building Official, advised that city staff performed a survey on how
other municipalities send zoning related notices to affected property owners. He
summarized the results of the survey as follows: 12 municipalities responded;
2 of 12 send postcards; 7 or 12 send regular mail; 2 of 12 send by certified mail;
and 1 of 12 send the notices by regular or certified mail depending on the issue.
Mr. Morley advised that City staff also reviewed the history of undelivered
certified courtesy notices from the last four special exception requests. He
summarized that approximately 22% of the notices did not make it into the hands
of the property owner. The Board members reviewed the survey. Brief
discussion followed. Mr. Morley explained that if the City mailed bright orange
postcards, it is likely that more property owners would receive them, which would
result in increased owner/citizen participation. Mr. Morley read the existing
definition of a courtesy notice from the City code. He explained the benefits of
sending the courtesy notices via regular mail as follows: the notices would be
less of an expense to the applicant; less staff time monitoring return receipts; and
there may be a greater likelihood that the courtesy notice would end up in the
owner's hands with little effort on their part.

He read the proposed change to the ordinance allowing courtesy notices to be
processed by regular mail or post cards. Brief discussion followed. Kate Latorre,
Assistant City Attorney, encouraged the Board to consider the Building Official's
recommendation, because the notice was simply a courtesy notification to
affected property owners, not a requirement. The Board members reviewed Mr.
Morley's proposed code amendment. Brief discussion followed.
Motion by Lamar Russell, seconded by John Johanson, to recommend approval
of the proposed code amendment, with the City Manager deciding if the notices
would be sent certified or regular mail depending on the issue. Following
discussion, Mr. Russell withdrew his motion. Discussion followed.
Motion by Lamar Russell, seconded by Harry Pearson, to recommend approval
of the proposed code amendment as drafted by the Building Official. Vote on the
motion carried unanimously.
OLD BUSINESS
1. Discussion Re: Mixed Use Districts.
T odd Peetz, City Planner, explained that the Florida Redevelopment l\ssociation
may be attending the Board's meeting on April 9th or May 14th to educate the
Board on community redevelopment. Lamar Russell noted that the Board would
also be educated on lessons learned. Following discussion, Mr. Peetz advised
that the first meeting with an associate from the Florida Redevelopment
Association would educate the Board on mixed-uses and lessons learned; and
then the associate would come back at another meeting to discuss how the City
could benefit from the Community Redevelopment Agency.
Todd Peetz advised that he performed research as requested by Mr. Dunn at the
last meeting on failed mixed use districts. He explained that he performed a
Google computer research and he found only one article about a mixed use
development that was not developed because of the economy. Mr. Peetz
pointed out and highlighted some of the articles contained in the Board packet.
During discussion, the Board looked forward to a speaker coming in and
educating them on mixed uses. Mr. Russell commented that the City could add
pictures in the City code of expectations of mixed uses the City favored and show
illustrations of do this, not this. Mr. Russell suggested that the Board members
review the existing residential planned unit development code to familiarize
themselves on types of mixed uses.

OPEN DISCUSSION
Donald Dunn thanked City staff for providing the most recent traffic study. Todd
Peetz, City Planner, advised that a representative from Luke Transportation
could come and speak to the Board to explain the traffic study and make
suggestions on what the City could do when the traffic counts meet their
maximum. Ron Friedman noted that most of the City's traffic comes from
Orlando and Cocoa Beach and travels through the City bringing the count up.
He explained that traffic counts were subjective, not objective. He pointed out a
mistake on the report, in Appendix C, that Bayside town homes should not be
listed in the vested category, because the project was built-out in 2006/2007.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 8:32 p.m.

2. Recommendation to City Council - Ordinance Re: Clarifyinq the Criteria
Required for Preliminary and Final Subdivision Plat Review and Approval.
Todd Peetz, City Planner, explained that the city had recently begun processing
final plats for recording, and upon submitting final plats to the County Clerk for
recording, the County Clerk required additional information than what is required
by city code. He advised that the proposed ordinance clarified the criteria
required for preliminary and final subdivision plat reviews and approvals, in
compliance with the Brevard County Clerk and Chapter 177, Florida Statutes.
The Board members reviewed and held discussion regarding the proposed
ordinance.
Motion by Lamar Russell, seconded by Donald Dunn, to recommend approval of
the proposed ordinance, with minor changes, as discussed, to include that the
final plat be recorded within fourteen (14) days of City Council approval. Vote on
the motion carried unanimously.
OPEN DISCUSSION
Todd Morley, Building Official, reviewed the current requirements for preliminary'
and final plats and replats, indicating that the current ordinance has multiple
duplicate entries and requires depictions of elements that are more appropriate
for site plan review. Lamar Russell asked that Mr. Morley present his findings to
the Assistant City Attorney for consideration of an ordinance revision which
would remove any unnecessary and duplicate requirements.

. Readers' "We'll have to prime the pump with pUblic dollars," said City Council member and Finance
Representative Committee Chairman Jim Hix. "It concerns me a great deal."
. Weird News Predictions assume that tax increment financing, or TIF, and other tax breaks for
developers will help pay for public infrastructure. Included in that infrastructure are
amenities such as a transit line down Metcalf, parking structures built behind buildings,
and eco-friendly wind turbines. Such infrastructure is needed to support the increased
population density that the Vision requires to be economically viable.
The analysis suggested that the city create TIF districts. The districts aliow tax gains
generated by an area's redevelopment to be used to finance public property projects_ The
new public infrastructure helps private investors by making the district a more appealing
place to do business and in turn helps the city by making it a higher tax-generating area.
"A TIF district can take the increment out of an area to bury power lines," said Stallings,
citing one example of proposed public infrastructure improvements that could be financed
through the incentive. "Now that makes the location more valuable to the redeveloper."
In that way, Vision Metcalf relies on not only public but also private partnerships. The
ultimate return on public funding depends on getting businesses to redevelop older I
established properties.
"Just because a land-use consultant says it would be nice to have a four-story building at
this location, doesn't mean private dollars will agree," Hix said. "Nothing is going to I
happen unless private dollars agree that U~le vision wiil return an appropriate investment
on their dollars. The more private money comes in, the more public money."
With pUblic and private funding in place, redevelopment could generate $4.9 million to
$22.5 million in total sales taxes and $11.2 and $49.6 million in total property taxes each
year, according to the ERA report.
Predictions of how much growth results from the Vision Metcalf initiative are not intended
to be firm.
The "target density," or hoped-for growth, presented by Nelessen is 9,500 residential
units, 6.15 million square feet of retail, 8.19 million square feet of office space, 50,900
parking spaces and 145,000 civic square feet The projections of reality range from 35
percent of the target density up to 100 percent.

been waiting for years for this to occur," Schmidt said. "My building will be
redeveloped jf this goes through. j have very personal hopes that this gets
accomplished in a hurr/."
The city's financial advisor Ehlers and Associates said that spending of up to
$4 million in facade and infrastructure improvements and grants to developers
Gould eventual!y net the city $16 million in increased tax value, after all is said
and done.
The $4 million would be garnered from agreements with the area's other taxing
entities - Columbia County, MATe, and the Portage School District - to hand
over any increased tax revenue gained as a result of development projects
completed in the TIF district during the time period it would be enacted.
TI F time periods generally last 20 to 30 years.
If at the end of that time, if the dollars spenl on the dlstricl have not been
recouped, the city incurs the debt.
The city's financial consultant Ehlers and Associates, however, said that they
expect the downtown TIF to meet its objectives and pay for the city spending.
City Public Works Director and Utilities Manager and member of the
commission Bob RedeJings said he thought that a TIF would do jusi as the
citizens said, spur development.
"I am certainly in support of it. Some of these projects are on the fence and
ready to go and I think this will be the catalyst that gets them off Ihe ground and
gets positive things to happen in the downtown," Redelings said.
Before the plan can take affect il will need 10 be approved by the Common
Council and later by a Joint Review Board.

Town Hall economy.
When the project surfaced in November, the company said it planned to
develop the 60 acres in phases over five to six years. At that time, the
contract for the project had been expected to be signed by January.
Edgeton said he has no concerns about the agreement falling through. He
said that Struever Bros. has the finances to take on the job, which is
estimated to run into the "hundreds of millions of dollars."
There are about 1.28 million square feet of space that can be renovated -
one-third for residential units, one-third for retail and one-third for
biomedical labs. The first phase would include 16 acres and the renovation
of some of the old buildings north of Vine Street, officials said.
The research park has been at the forefront of Winston-Salem's push to
transform its economy from one based on tobacco and textiles to one
based on genes and science.
About 885 people work at the research park among 41 tenants, a work
force that Edgeton said was slightly ahead of projections made in 2003.
Among the companies are 33 that are not affiliated with Wake Forest
University Health Sciences, which owns the research park. There are eight
Wake Forest programs at the park, including the Wake Forest Institute for
Regenerative Medicine.
Sesides the plans for the north district, Edgeton said that steady progress
is being made on a project involving the centrai district of the park.
Railroad tracks are being removed to make way for new research
buildings, and plans for a new connector rail line are being developed.
Other hurdles to clear are burying transmission-tower lines at the site and
putting in a storm water-retention system that would flow into Salem
Creek. Edgeton said that it could take two years to complete the rail-line
project and as long as five years to phase in the storm-water system.
Separately, Edgeton said that the park is close to choosing from among six
candidates for the third tenant in the Wet Lab Launch Pad, which made its
