5. Motion to Approve: An Appeal of the Community Appearance Board's
Decision -- Enterprise sign.
Ms. Roberts stated that she was bringing this item before the Council as a Concerned
citizen and had to recuse herself from the vote. Ms. Roberts explained that Enterprise
Rental Cars presented this Application to the Community Appearance Board on July 16th;
however, subsequent to the meeting, other options were made available of which was the
Board was not aware. Ms. Roberts suggested that Council recommend for Enterprise Car
Rentals return to the Community Appearance Board with these options.
Mr. Carlos Montanez of Enterprise Rental Cars informed that there were several q uestions
that Came out of the meeting. Mr. Montanez explained that Enterprise presented three
options to the Board: 1) a wall sign parallel to the street, 2) a wall sign perpendicular to the
street, and 3) a pole sign. Mr. Montanez stated that the Board's decision was to use the
sign parallel to the street shown on Photo No. (2) and the pole sign shown on Photo
No. (3 ). He said that the option to use a vertical sign would require further review and
Enterprise would want two wail signs.
Todd Morley, Building Official, explained that per parcel of land, a property might ht have: two
ground signs and one wall sign, or two wall signs and no ground signs. Ms. Roberts
mentioned that the Community Appearance Board agreed to a sign of 3 --feet by 15 feet.
Ms. Roberts referred the optional examples that Enterprise could use and she
recommended that the Community Appearance Board review those options.
Mr. Montanez explained that if the firm Came before the Board again, their si na a would
g g
be delayed for two additional weeks. Mayor Randels clarified that the original request met
q
the requirement that the Board approved. Mr. Montanez stated that Enterprise was in
Agreement with the Board's approval; the wall sign parallel to the street and the n. ole sign.
g
Ms. Roberts explained how a corporation that presents to the Community Appearance
earance
Board did not present all of their options before the Board makes a decision. Ms. Roberts
asked a member of the Community Appearance Board to Comment. Mr. Petsos asked Mr.
Montanez if Enterprise had ordered their sign. Mr. Montanez replied that he stopped the
order upon receipt of the Notice of Appeal.
Mr. Randy Wasserman, Chairperson of the Community Appearance Board, explained this
as a test of the Appeals system since to date no Appeal had been made, even on a denial.
He thanked Ms. Roberts for Contributing value to the process. Mr. Wasserman cautioned
on retroactive Concerns applied to the evidence presented to the Board under sworn
testimony and approved by the Board. He highlighted the meeting and stated that the
Board allowed for two signs and one smaller than the originally submitted 80-square-foot
pole sign.

Mr. Wasserman stated that his hesitancy to reactively set higher standards which could
lead to an Appeal and adverse judgment. Mr. Wasserman pointed out that the City code
related to Appeals referred to the denial and not an approval of a Board decision. He also
stated that in order to support an Appeal; one would need to prove that the testimony
provided was false. Mr. Wasserman stated that for future applications, the Board would
attempt to bring to the forum the most complete options possible related to corporate
signage.
Mr. Nicholas asked if there was a process for the applicant to request reconsideration.
Attorney Garganese affirmed. Mr. Nicholas stated that an Appeal was generally based on
an Applicant's dissatisfaction. Ms. Roberts stated her concern, as a resident, was that the
Community Appearance Board did not have a complete presentation in that it did not
include all of the corporate examples possible. Mayor Randels stated that there were no
grounds that the Applicant could not have the signs since he met the requirement.
Mr. Walter Bowman, community Appearance Board member, stated that the Board
considered the signage based on the evidence presented. The Board used its authority to
adjust the size of the signage presented. Mr. Bowman concluded that only two signs were
allowed under the city code and if the Board had had what was presented this evening,
then they might have chosen the two walls signs using one of these examples.
Mayor Pro Tern Hoog stated that the Applicant worked with the Board, and if the Board
agreed on something and the Applicant accepted it, then there was no point of discussion.
Ms. Roberts stated that the community was not well served since the Board did not have
full disclosure of all of the options from the Applicant; therefore, she presented an Appeal
to council.
Mr. Wasserman stated that the burden of proof was difficult in ascertaining if the Applicant
was knowledgeable of all possible options or if it were mere ignorance on his part. Ms.
Roberts stated that the information was available on the Enterprise web site and staff
could provide the additional research in support. Mr. Wasserman pointed out how
extended research was outside of the scope of the Board making a decision on what was
presented. He stated that the applicant had the burden to present a complete package.
Mr. Wasserman concluded that the Board could only ascertain that what was being
presented was harmonious; however, the Board could not force an Applicant to comply.
Mr. Petsos commended the Board on their decision that provided for a reduced sized, sign
that was set back further on State Road Al A. Mr. Roger Combs commented that when a
corporation applied to a Board, he did not believe the City had a right to pursue options
aside from those presented as long as an Applicant met the city's code requirement. Mr.
Dobson stated his objection to research in advance of the meeting.
Mr. Wasserman reminded that Florida Municipal Home mule did successfully guide
appearance standards. Ms. Roberts stated that the Board appeared to have struggled
with the Application review and the corporation in good faith could have presented the
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Regular Meeting

other options. In closing, Mr. Wasserman stated that the decision was a cooperative effort
between the Board and Mr. Montanez.
A motion was made by Mayor Randels and seconded by Mr. Petsos to Deny an
Appeal of the Aggrieved Party related to the Enterprise Rental Sign. The vote on
the motion carried 4 -0 to Deny the Appeal with voting as follows: Mayor Pro Tern
Hoog, For; Mr. Nicholas, For; Mr. Petsos, For; Mayor Randels, For, and Ms.
Roberts, Recused.
SITE PLAN:
fi. Motion to Approve: Consideration of Mermaid Key site Plan —
140 condominium Units and 25,800 Square Feet of commercial.
Mayor Randels reviewed that the Planning and Zoning Board recommended the Site Plan
on June 28th with (7) conditions. The City Council first heard the Site Plan on July 17,
2007 and added (2) conditions: 1) the Unity of Title be prepared and executed on the
south commercial parcel and, 2) the Applicant would bear all costs associated with the
vacation of the existing sewer easement and the dedication of the proposed relocated
sewer main easement, as well as design and installation change orders for the force main
replacement.
Mr. Boucher informed that the City had discussions with St. John's River Water
Management District related to wetland on the property and the need for a Mitigation Plan.
Jeff Ratliff, Stormwater Administrator, was available for any questions from the Council.
Mr. Boucher stated that although the project was a proposed phased development, the
Project would need to remain in progress in order to keep the Site Plan active.
Attorney Tim Pickles 3490 North US 1 , Cocoa addressed the Council on behalf of Mr.
Martin Greene, Mermaid Key LLC. He stated that this application was presented in
February, approved by the Planning and Zoning Board in June and still with the City
Council in August. Attorney Pickles read from the City code related to Site Plans
concluding that the City Council shall make a final decision if the Applicant has met the
requirements. He concluded that Mr. Greene would apply for extensions as necessary.
Mr. Martin Greene, Mermaid Key LLC, affirmed his intent of a phased project with a
completion date of 2012 constructed in two to three buildings at a time. He explained that
there was six months of site work anticipated first. He stated that the first occupancy level
would begin in 2009. Mr. Petsos questioned if the City could seek a Development
Agreement since this was a phased development. Attorney Garganese affirmed.
Ms. Roberts addressed information related to the condominium documents and a permit
request from the St. John's River Water Management District [SJRWMD]. Ms. Roberts
also stated her concern that when the site Plan was proposed it was not presented as a
resort condominium. Attorney Pickles replied that the Site Plan was for a residential
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Regular Meeting

condominium. However, the City's ordinance provided the mechanism for Mr. Greene to
apply as a resort condominium. Any consideration outside of the City's code was an
incorrect application of the City ordinance.
Ms. Roberts represented her concerns that the Applicant did not provide the Planning and
Zoning Board with all of the information to make recommendations to the City Council.
Ms. Roberts stated her belief that the Council had a broader role to represent the interests
of the community as it relates to the interpretation of the Ordinance and the carrying out of
the community's interest. Attorney Pickles clamed that the Council would make a decision
within the parameters of the Ordinance.
Ms. Roberts stated that she tabled the Approval at the City Council Meeting on July 17
based on: 1) there was a question related to condominium documents, 2) the application
presented to the Planning and Zoning Board did not present the project as a resort
condominium project, and 3) there was permit work with the SJRWMD that was not
apparent to the Planning and Zoning Board. She concluded that there was not full
disclosure and that the City needs more time to deliberate on the actual intent of this
development.
Attorney Pickles stated that the condominium records, in Draft form, were in place for the
permit related to SJRWMD that sought to ascertain that an Association would be present
to enforce the terms of its permit. Mr. Petsos informed that the documents were very
thorough and concise and Page 14 referred to 30-day rentals. Attorney Pickles informed
that the documents were submitted to the SJRWMD not the Department of Business and
Professional Regulations [DBPR].
Attorney Pickles stated that the documents could not be submitted to the D B P R until the
Site Plan was approved. At the time they were submitted to the SJRWIVID for the purpose
of establishing stormwater intentions, the City had not finalized its ordinance on resort
dwellings. Mr. Nicholas asked if there were issues related to mitigation since St. John's
was mentioned several times. Mr. Ratliff would address this question.
Ms. Roberts stated her concern that the Planning and Zoning Board did not have the full
disclosure as presented to the Council related to resort dwellings. Attorney Pickles
requested to establish for the record if the council was using becoming a resort
condominium as a basis for their decision and he did not believe that that was appropriate.
Ms. Roberts responded that the full disclosure was not made to the Planning and Zoning
Board. Attorney Pickles stated that the site Plan was an overlay of development on a
given parcel of land based on certain criteria not its potential use.
Mr. Boucher pointed out that the supplementary District regulations in section 110-491,
required two spaces per living unit. Mr. Morley replied that the project was reviewed as
two per unit. Todd Peetz, City Planner, informed that at this time there was nothing in the
code related to parking for resort dwellings. Mayor Pro Tern Hoog stated that the parking

requirements should come into consideration if he should apply for a Resort Condominium
application.
Mayor Randels informed that Mr. Greene received information from Mr. John Juliana from
the SJRWND related to mitigation: 1) a drainage ditch, and 2} a pond. Mr. Greene
informed that SJRWMD's provided stringent regulations. He referred to the City's
drainage ditch project and he asked if he could use the funding toward the drainage ditch
between his properties versus sending it to the Miami Corporation. Mr. Greene informed
that SJRWMD provided a strict checklist related to this mitigation project.
Mr. Ratliff: informed that SJRWIVID expressed their favor with the project and in their work
with Mr. Greene's staff. Mr. Greene informed that he responded "no" to the Florida Fish
and Wildlife Commission related to adding any docks, boat launches, or changing the area
related to the manatees. His civil engineer would reply on any permissible pipes running
into the canal.
Mr. Greene stated that the Planning and Zoning Board was thorough and he stated there
was nothing undisclosed. Mr. Greene also reminded that the mitigation funding was
available to the City. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog thanked Mr. Greene for seeking the mitigation-
funding venue and said that the City would continue this practice with developers in the
future.
Mr. Nicholas questioned if the recreation area issues was resolved. Mr. Moe Ledeaux,
President of the Treasure Island Club thanked the Council for hearing from their
Association. He stated that Treasure Island Club prepared through their Attorneys a list of
issues related to walls, fences, boundaries, docks, water rights, and easements. Mr.
Ledeaux presented a copy to Council members.
Mr. Ledeaux stated that Mr. Greene informed him that he would review the document with
his Attorney as well. Mr. Ledeaux also stated that Treasure Island Club would continue
dialogue with Mr. Greene. Attorney Pickles stated that he could not answer if all of the
criteria on the document were agreed to at this time without subsequent discussion.
Mr. Nicholas asked if there were any plans on the developer's part to make improvements
to the Recreation area. Mr. Greene stated that he did not desire to disturb their peaceful
rights to the use that property until the last possible moment and for the shortest duration
of time. Mr. Greene summarized that he would request minimal disturbance from his site
engineer. Mr. Greene replied to Mayor Randels that there were no plans for crossovers.
Mayor Randels stated that all conditions must be met within 90-days from City Council's
Site Plan approval. Mr. Boucher stated that the City should also receive a record copy of
the Wetlands Mitigation Plans from SJRWMD as an additional Condition of site Plan
approval. Attorney Garganese explained how a Development Agreement would allow to
phasing their development project without expiration of their Site Flan. Attorney Pickles
expressed that the applicant would be willing to pursue a Development Agreement;

however, the developer had met the Site Plan criteria. Mr. Boucher summarized for the
record that the Council reviewed this Site Plan as a residential condominium. An
amended Site Plan would return to the Council.
Ms. Roberts stated that the community was not informed of the Applicants intent to apply
as a resort condominium that was different from a residential condominium. Attorney
Pickles stated that the Ordinance did not delineate a difference for purposes of a Site Plan
application. Attorney Garganese explained that a Site Plan review related to the technical
requirements of the City code. He concluded that the Mermaid Key project met the
technical requirements.
Mr. Lamar Russell, Planning and Zoning Beard Mice Chairperson, stated that the Site Plan
was reviewed in a technical manner based on a checklist within the City code. Mr. Russell
explained that an application as a resort condominium would have also become part of the
technical review. Mr. Russell summarized that the site Plan was for a residential use in a
residential zone. He stated that if the Council did not approve the site Plan and proposed
to send it back to the Planning and Zoning Board, he requested to know what was yet
required when the Applicant met the criteria.
Ms. Roberts stated that the Planning and Zoning Board had, in her opinion, a role beyond
a technical review. Mr. Russell stated that the SJRWMD permit cane out during
discussion and it was added to the list of conditions. Mr. Russell stated that all City
meetings were open to the public and residents were welcomed to attend and voice their
concerns. Ms. Roberts stated that the community had the right to weigh in on whether or
not the Mermaid Key project was planned as a resort condominium.
Ms. Sharon Molinari of the Treasure Island Club condominiums questioned what the City
planned to do about the proposed traffic due to the Mermaid Key project. Mayor Randels
replied that the Planning and Zoning Board addressed all concurrency issues related to
the project to include traffic. Mr. Nicholas reminded that the City had petitioned the State
many times for a traffic light at the Columbia Drive intersection; however, they were
refused. Mr. Boucher informed that the Florida Department of Transportation preferred to
observe the active levels of traffic prior to installing a streetlight. Ms. Molinari reminded of
the two deaths that occurred due to the lack of a traffic light.
Mr. Paul Stewart informed that he was waiting for Mr. Greene's development in order to
purchase there. He reminded that Mr. Greene previously brought a mixed -use
development project to the Council that the Council denied. Mr. Stewart requested that
the Council proceed to take action in light of his interest in a property purchase.
Mr. Boucher referred to the June 28 memo from the Planning and Zoning Board listing
the (7) conditions:
1 The sewer line from the south commercial building needs an easement; and the
sewer line needs to be relocated to save a 20" tree.

2) The lift station pump sequence shall be changed so an alarm is activated if the
liquid level rises above the lead pump "on" level and before the liquid level
reaches the lag pump "on" level.
3) The north and south fountain details shall be redesigned, because the present
18" dimensions are incorrect..
4) Provisions shall be made for recycling containers at each dumpster site.
S) A lighting plan for the streets and sidewalks shall be submitted and approved by

5) The City shall approve a shared parking easement on the north parcel.

Mayor Randels also read the three additional conditions:
8) The Unity of Title be prepared and executed on the south commercial parcel.
9) All costs associated with the vacation of the existing sewer easement and the dedication
of the proposed relocated sewer main easement, as well as design and installation
change orders for the force main replacement project, be home by the applicant.
10) An approved mitigation plan from the St. John's River Water Management District for the
pond area classified as wetlands shall become part of the approved Site Plan.
Mr. Greene informed that Ed Gardulski, former Public Works Director had discussed with
him the best place to install the sewer main; therefore, he was aware of the intended
placement and its cost. Mr. Boucher clarified that the cost for any change orders related to
this project would be borne by the Applicant. I'll1r. Greene made note that he would confer
with Jeff Ratliff, Stormwater Administrator, relating to the funding from the St. John's River
Water Management District, in order to obtain his permit from the St. John's River Water
Management District.
