due to the density requirement of 15 -units to the acre.
Attorney Garganese clarified that the City is allowed two cycles per year for
Comprehensive Plan amendments, not two plan amendments per year. Chief Cave
Sargeant replied that the proposed annexation would make minimal difference for
fire and emergency services; however this annexation would impact law
enforcement. Mr. Leo Nicholas inquired about the cost of this annexation to the

concern with annexing in property that utilizes the Cocoa Beach serer services.
Mr. Morgan stated that more information was needed.
Mayor Randels recounted some of the concerns: cost requirements, impact of
services and that this annexation would require a Comprehensive Plan
amendment. Mr. Hinkley replied that he could work with staff on the concerns that
the Council presented. Mr. Hans Saurenmann stated that he did not foresee a
reason for the City to annex in the small 1.3 acres and he said that the city should
approach the neighbors on the east and west sides to discover if they were

Issuing Land Clearing Permits in the City.
Mayor Randers read the Ordinance by title.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA
IMPOSING A 60 DAY MORATORIUM ON ISSUING LAND CLEARING PERMITS IN THE
CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA; INSTRUCTING THE PLANNING & ZONING
BOARD TO REVIEW THE LAND CLEARING PROVISIONS IN THE CITY CODE FOR
REVISION AND RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL; PROVIDING FOR THE
REPEAL OF PRIOR INCONSISTENT ORDINANCES AND RESOLLMONS; AND PROVIDING
FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mayor Randers explained that the City Council, the Planning and Zoning Board and
the Beautification Board met in a Code Review Workshop Meeting on January 13,
2005 and discussed this item. Mayor Randers explained further that under the
existing ordinance, a developer is allowed to Clear land within I feet of the
proposed structure_ He stated that the developer was within the rights of the
ordinance to clear land that included hardwood trees. He informed that the Planning
and Zoning Board would review the vegetation ordinance and submit
recommendations to the Council. Mayor Randers stated that the Criteria for Tree
Removal and Tree Replacement were the items of Concern. He summarized that
replacement trees did not fairly compare in the existing ordinance; also, there was
no flexibility for adjustments to the site plan footprint in order to preserve trees.
Attorney Garganese stated for the record that the statute was not clear on whether
it is two-thirds of the governing body or two - thirds of the Council present that is
required to vote on an Emergency ordinance. Attorney Garganese replied to Mr.
Morgan that if any developer has a permit to a site plan that has been approved;
then, this moratorium would not affect their construction. Mr. Morgan asked if
previous approval would vest a site plan. Attorney Garganese affirmed.
Attorney Garganese stated that two issues apply: 1 ) if the permit is in hand and
Construction has begun, then Construction would proceed, and 2} if some form of
application was submitted prior to the January 13'' meeting, then that application
would prod. Mr. Morgan inquired if flexibility would be given in adjusting the site
plan in order to preserve trees. Mr. Morley stated that the first time the building
department hears of an application is at the preliminary site plan review. Mr. Morley
painted out that there were some developers that might want to address their
issues at this meeting. Mayor Randers expressed that the Council's intent is to save
hardwood trees through preservation during development. Discussion followed on
how to address tree removal and tree mitigation. Mr. Dorgan asked the City
Attorney if a Planned Urban Development Could be applied. Attorney Garganese
said that a Case --by -Case basis would better address the applicant's needs. He also
stated that the Council could provide the Planning and Zoning Board with
authorization to make decisions that would provide flexibility. Mr. Morgan pointed
out that mitigation Could be addressed during the application process.

Mayor Randels read the intent of the Land Clearing Code Section from Section
102.39. He stated that the City has a provision that describes six exclusions. Mr.
Roger Combs addressed the Council and stated that he is working on the property
on the west side of A 1 A noted as the Porter property. He expressed that there
would be a significant impact with a proposed ordinance change. Mayor Randels
inquired about overlaying the tree survey onto his site plan in order to identify
prospective trees for preservation. Mr. Combs stated that his company made every
effort to abide by the City ordinance as well as community concerns and he stiff has
to work vAth the constraints of R -3 zoning. Attorney Garganese replied that Mr.
Combs did not have a permit in hand nor did he have a pending formal pre -
application meeting. Council made it clear that their intent is to establish more
definitive guidelines on tree removal and tree mitigation. Mr. Combs inquired if he
would be working under the existing code. Mr. Combs addressed a reasonable
tirneframe in order to submit his application_ Mr. Hans saurenrnann asked if this
land clearing applied to private property owners as well. He said that the Council
should grandfather in property owners in order to protect their rights to land
development. Mayor Randels replied that Code section 102.40 states that
residential property is exempted. Mr. Morgan recognized that Mr. Saurenrnann
might have concerns over notification regarding the ordinance.
Mr. Roger Dobson, representing the Marriott Residence inn, stated that there were
no hardwoods present on his prospective property. He stated that if the Emergency
Ordinance were passed as written, then he would have imposed Bo -Days in order
to take action. Mayor Randels replied that due to the Residence inn's level in the
application process, the moratorium would not apply to his project. Attorney
Garganese stated that the moratorium applied to land clung and the moratorium
was not intended to affect those that have begun any part of the site plan process.
He related some verbiage that would provide more definitive language for the
moratorium. Mr. Morley stated that he would provide a date for the last site plan
application in the process. Attorney Garganese replied to Mayor Randels that the
emergency nature of the ordinance required no second reading.
The Chair called for a motion at 10:07 P.M. to Extend the Meeting. A motion
was made by Mr. Petsos and seconded by Mr. Morgan to Extend the Meeting
Time to 10 :30 P.M. The motion carried unanimously 4-0.
Attorney Garganese stated that the City could consider on a case -by -case basis,
limited waivers to project development during the moratorium and code review
process. Attomey Garganese explained that if a waiver were granted, the developer
might be encouraged to protect trees in an effort to gain adjustments on the
property foot print. Mr. Lamar Russell Planning and Zoning Board, stated that
during the moratorium the Board would address mitigation. However, he asked that
City staff provide verification that the site plan is vested. Mr. Russell pointed out that
negotiations on changes that are not yet codified prove difficult for Board decisions.
Council decided that the Board would need to make certain judgment calls. Mr.

Martin Greene suggested that an overlay of the topography plan be provided at the
Community Appearance Board level. Attorney Garganese said that the Community
Appearance Board addresses plans primarily from an aesthetic perspective.
Discussion continued on the Board review process and Council members stated
their favor with Planning and Zoning Board review only. A resident inquired if a
traffic study were done and also asked if the Cites sewer capacity could handle the
new development? Mayor Randels responded that Luke Transportation
Engineering conducted the traffic study and the City's sewer plant was built for
maximum capacity.

diminishing peacock population. Mr. Boucher responded that on January 4 he was
directed to formulate a plan to thin out the peacock population. He stated that he contacted
Ms. Helen Filkins to notify interested residents and he also sought information on how to
