CONSIDERATIONS:
2. Motion to Approve: Change Order to the North Central Ditch Stormwater
Improvement Project.
Mayor Randels stated that this change order was for a project located at Central Avenue
and State Road Al A and three years ago the City went out for bid on this project for which
the City received approximately $348,000 in grant funding. Mr. Ratliff stated that the total
project was $545,000. Mayor Randels stated that the grants would cover the ditch and
installation of culverts. Mayor Randels explained that during a final survey it was noted
that while storing water, this would impact the neighboring properties. Mayor Randels
explained further that Stottler, Stagg and Associates (SSA) returned with a change order
to resolve a problem they encountered. Jeff Ratliff, Stormwater Administrator, stated that
the original design would cause some problems for the North Central Ditch project and he
deferred to John Pekar of SSA for a brief explanation of the alternate plan. Mayor Randels
clarified that Stottler, Stagg and Associates were not the grant writers. Mr. Ratliff reported
that they attempted to make the grant application work; however, it was not feasible.
Mr. Pekar explained the elements of the Central Ditch project as follows: to place culverts
in the ditch, to install a swale on top of the ditch, thereby allowing infiltration with pick up
points treating the water in a linear fashion as it flowed around past Wendy's and out to the
Indian River Lagoon. From a quality standpoint, this was the only straight run outfall of the
five in the City with minimal filtration. In review, on the east side on some properties the
elevations ran as low as two -feet and from four to six feet on the west side which resulted
in an unbalanced situation.
Mr. Pekar then explained a two -fold plan to: 1) to build up a portion of the ditch, and 2) to
slide the culverts to the high side up to where the City has a piece of property of about
one-quarter acre. He explained further how the water would drop into a detention pond to
capture water to about 7 -feet. This pond would capture about four to six tons of sediment
per year that typically go out the lagoon. This would take the low side of the drainage ditch
and bring it in on -grade with a by-pass for the major storms that would be culverted back
to Central Blvd. Mr. Pekar stated that the culverts on the high side would take the 25 -year
storm which was designed for nine -inches of rain. The low flow would enter into this
property of about 80-byl00-foot piece of property Mr. Pekar noted a 15 -inch oak on the
property which, if removed, would under the City code require mitigation. Mr. Pekar stated
that the design was actually better for pollutant removal. Mayor Randels clarified that the
area in discussion was related to west of North Atlantic Avenue and explained how
anything west of North Atlantic Avenue drains into the ditch.
Mr. Pekar stated that the ditch has up to two to three feet of organic matter; however, after
its removal, some material had to replace it. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog asked what
mechanism would be used to clean out the retention pond. Mr. Pekar replied that they
had access to the sewer line in order for City employees to provide some cleaning. He
stated that it would require maintenance every three to five years. Mr. Petsos inquired
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Regular Meeting
June 19, 2007
Page 3 of 18
about the slope. Mr. Pekar stated that due to the limited size of the land they intended to
enclose the property on three sides with chain link fencing. Mr. Petsos pointed out that the
slope would make maintenance more difficult.
Mayor Randels asked Mr. Pekar to point out the location to the audience. Mr. Pekar
pointed out that discussion included from the bottom of Central Avenue up past Rinker to
the Port area. Mr. Pekar clarified that the ditch also referred to as the river was overgrown
in areas and filled with organic matter. Mr. Nicholas asked if Mr. Pekar still intended to
install the culverting the entire length of the ditch. Mr. Pekar replied that the plan was to
extend the project up Central Avenue not quite half -way with the culverts as well as the
pond and cleared out the rest of the way and subsequently completed dependent upon
future funding. The program was a phased program. Mr. Nicholas inquired if much of the
sediment came from the northern area. Mr. Pekar responded that most of the newer
properties had stormwater systems. He affirmed for Mr. Nicholas that the normal flow in
the canal ran from the north to south.
Mr. Pekar explained that the pipes could be extended depending on the available funds;
however, they cost $100 per foot and the expense was a consideration. Mr. Nicholas
noted how most of the residential development occurred on the east side with warehouses
on the west side and he asked if they were providing drainage retention on the west side.
Mr. Pekar affirmed that drainage retention had occurred on the west side. Mr. Nicholas
questioned the diversity on the east side compared to the west side and he encouraged
the developing property owners to build up the bank. Mr. Pekar explained that on any City
review all of the building pads were elevated up seven- to eight -feet.
Mr. Nicholas inquired how this was impacted by Mr. Randy May's aggregate project. Mr.
Pekar replied that Mr. Mays' aggregate would flow to the west and would be treated on his
property. Todd Morley, Building Official, informed that a construction permit for a 16 -foot
sight and sound barrier had been authorized for Mr. Mays' project. Mr. Nicholas
expressed his concern with the lack of progress on this project. Mr. Morley stated that the
permit was issued by the date specified by the Council and the permit has a six-month
timeline. Ms. Roberts asked if the pond was anticipated to be full of water most of the
time. Mr. Pekar affirmed to Ms. Roberts that it would with an elevation of approximately
one to minus seven -feet.
Ms. Roberts asked if this were an opportunity for the City to add value with an aerated
pond. Mr. Pekar replied that the area was actually too small for a stormwater park and
was not conducive to pedestrian traffic. Ms. Roberts said that the area appeared to be
developmental property and she stated that the City might want to plan ahead for potential
residential development. Ms. Roberts mentioned that some of the City's retention ponds
may or may not have aeration and the still water brings in other things. Mr. Pekar replied
that they could run electricity from the Lift Station in order to make this happen or possibly
even solar power. Mayor Randels stated that this was not in the grant and would require
City funding.

Mr. Ratliff informed if the property were ever developed then they could look at developing
the pond area. Ms. Roberts asked if the property would attract mosquitoes in its proposed
state. Mr. Pekar replied that any enhancement to the water body would encourage the
fish. Mr. Nicholas pointed out that minerals and other small fish would take care of the
mosquitoes. Mr. Pekar replied to Mayor Pro Tem Hoog that a diversion structure would
allow for a water table to exist at all times. Mr. Pekar stated that at Central Blvd. they were
running water at elevation one.
Mr. Petsos questioned Mr. Pekar about the bank elevation. Mr. Pekar replied that around
the banks of the pond he anticipated up to elevation four. Mr. Pekar explained that they
would look back to the hydraulic gradients all the way back up to the north to keep the flow
back to two to two and one-half to be sure that the structures and outfall were sized so that
the hydraulic gradients keep the water down for the designed storms. Mayor Randels
concluded that the City's Stormwater Administrator recommended the change order. Mr.
Pekar explained to Mayor Pro Tem Hoog that two minimum permits were required: the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit and another from St. John's River
Water Management District. Mr. Pekar also stated that the engineer's would also perform
the subsequent certifications after project construction. Mr. Petsos pointed out that the
project had $18,000 remaining in its budget. Mr. Ratliff concluded that any additional
funding could be used toward any additional construction.
A motion was made by Mr. Petsos and seconded by Ms. Roberts to Approve
Change Order to the North Central Ditch Stormwater Improvement Project in the
Amount of $9,040. The vote on the motion carried 5-0 with voting as follows:
Mayor Pro Tem Hoog, For; Mr. Nicholas, For; Mr. Petsos, For; Mayor Randels, For
and Ms. Roberts, For.
3. Motion to Approve: Comprehensive Plan — Evaluation and Appraisal Report —
Letter of Understanding.
Mayor Randels explained how the Evaluation and Appraisal Report [EAR) preceded the
City's Comprehensive Plan. Todd Peetz, City Planner, clarified that the EAR was
performed every seven years. Mr. Peetz then explained the two -fold reason for the Letter
of Understanding as: 1) public meetings were held in August of 2006 and January and
March of 2007 and, 2) there was quite a bit of input from the public for inclusion into the
Plan and the Department of Community Affairs was concerned with the community's
comments. Mr. Peetz stated that items were ranked in order of concern at the City
Celebration held at Manatee Sanctuary Park in March.
He reported that density and height were numbers one and two; third, was shoreline
erosion and dune protection; fourth was transportation and road development due the
changes subsequent to development. Mr. Peetz made note that development guidelines
and appearance were lower on the list although people did want the City to appear
attractive. He also reported that affordable housing was lower on the list due to increased
housing costs. He informed that the City had done much to provide parks and the
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Regular Meeting
June 19, 2007
Page 5 of 18
community was supportive. Mr. Peetz informed that City Hall, Town Center and mixed-
use were not a high priority of the people that were questioned. Mr. Peetz listed other
items such as fuel tanks, School Concurrency and Capital Improvements that were added
to the letter, although not required, as larger issues for the Department of Community
Affairs. He informed that he could make the comments from the public meetings available
for the public's review.
Mr. Peetz replied to Mayor Randels that staff was looking to transmit to the Florida
Department of Community Affairs [DCA] at the second meeting in July. He reported that
the Planning and Zoning Board meeting would meet to review the front portion data
analysis. Council could review the document at its second meeting in July. Once the
document was transmitted in July, then DCA would review for 60 days, the document
would return some time in September with an anticipated adoption of October or early
November. After adoption DCA takes 45 to 60 -days to find the City sufficient. Mr. Peetz
informed that his firm hired someone who was formerly from the DCA to assist with this
part of the process. After that the City has 18 -months to update the Comprehensive Plan
consistent with the EAR with up to a 6 -month extension. Mr. Peetz clarified that the Future
Land Use Map was an essential component of the Comprehensive Plan.
Ms. Roberts expressed her concern that the projects that come to mind were the Visioning
Session, the Redevelopment Plan, and this work product stating that the Council has not
yet discussed the community's input from those different sessions. Ms. Roberts stated
that she would seek how many people participated in this, the number of comments
submitted, and organized to include frequency analysis. Ms. Roberts stated that she was
speaking on process and approach and something such as this reflects what the Council
was representing on behalf of the community. Ms. Roberts requested ample time for
deliberation and perhaps a Workshop would permit Council to review the community's
input.
Mr. Peetz responded to Ms. Roberts that each County and City was required to have a
School Concurrency Element especially due to a school within City limits. Mr. Peetz
informed that Brevard County and the Brevard County School Board were preparing a
draft element and the City could follow and implement as required. Mr. Peetz explained
that DCA also desired for cities and counties to adopt Capital Improvements Element
annually. He explained the problem; however, that the Capital Improvement Element
would occur during the Budget Hearings. Mr. Peetz stated that the key components of the
Redevelopment Plan were included in the EAR but not the letter.
Ms. Roberts stated that the document was reflective of a City as well as Council planning
document. Mr. Peetz responded that the Letter of Understanding was merely to document
the community participation. Mr. Nicholas explained how as Council continues through
the Comprehensive Plan process then more in-depth discussion would occur on specific
element. Ms. Roberts stated that she desired to register her concerns and she suggested
a change of process and have more planning before arriving at this stage. Mr. Peetz
stated that DCA requested the Letter of Understanding. Ms. Roberts stated that since
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Regular Meeting
June 19, 2007
Page 6 of 18
March the Council could have had discussion and there was much reflection of the
interpretation of what the community said in the Letter. She wanted to go on record with
her concerns. Mr. Petsos stated that the letter was inclusive of what the city residents
desired to see and in July there would be more time for additional discussion from the
Council. Ms. Roberts stated that she was more concerned with the exclusion of some of
the comments from the community. Mr. Peetz assured that all of the comments that were
registered at the public meetings would be included in the Letter. On a final note, Ms.
Roberts expressed the need for one other step in the process.
A motion was made by Mr. Nicholas and seconded by Mr. Petsos to Approve the
Comprehensive Plan — Evaluation and Appraisal Report — Letter of Understanding.
The vote on the motion carried 5-0 with voting as follows: Mayor Pro Tem Hoog,
For; Mr. Nicholas, For; Mr. Petsos, For; Mayor Randels, For and Ms. Roberts, For.
4. Motion to Approve: Designation of a Voting Delegate for the Florida League
of Cities Annual Conference.
Mayor Randels stated that traditionally the Council sought a delegate to vote during the
League business meetings at the Florida League of Cities Annual Conference. Mayor
Randels recognized that he, Mayor Pro Tem Hoog, Mr. Petsos, and Ms. Roberts would
attend Conference. Mayor Randels nominated Mayor Pro Tem Hoog as the Voting
Delegate. Mr. Nicholas asked if there were need for an Alternate. Mayor Randels
responded that an Alternate was required this year.
A motion was made by Mayor Randels and seconded by Mr. Petsos to Approve the
Designation of a Voting Delegate for the Florida League of Cities Annual
Conference Inserting the Name Bob Hoog. The vote on the motion carried 5-0 with
voting as follows: Mayor Pro Tem Hoog, For; Mr. Nicholas, For; Mr. Petsos, For;
Mayor Randels, For and Ms. Roberts, For.
5. Motion to Approve: Local Option Gas Tax — Amendment to the Interlocal
Agreement with Brevard County.
Mayor Randels explained how this was a mechanism for the County bond funding for local
roads. Mayor Randels reported that in 1986 the City received $182,090 and he clarified
that the funding was used for road -related items only such as street lights, road repairs
and cleaning ditches. Mayor Randels also reported that this year if the City agreed to the
extension the City would receive $262,000. He stated that the tax was renewed in 1988,
1991, and 2001. Mayor Randels informed that this extension continued until
August 31, 2037. Mayor Randels stated that this would allow the cities that opt -in to
receive a portion of the six -cent gas tax.
Mr. Boucher reported that the City was projected to receive $262,000 and the County's
percentage since inception was 47.14004266 percent. Mayor Randels explained that the
cities received 53 percent which was divided based on each city's population and he
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Regular Meeting
June 19, 2007
Page 7 of 18
informed that cities that did not use their funding forfeited it. Mayor Randels stated that
Cape Canaveral received 3.10 percent of the municipal funding. Mr. Nicholas inquired
about the 36 -year extension. Mayor Randels replied that the County was bonding for
anticipated major roads. Mayor Randels informed that Mr. Roger Dobson was influential
in getting the toll booths removed from the Bee Line now the Beach Line and as Mr.
Nicholas stated also the Pineda Causeway.
Ms. Roberts pointed out that the population was based on the City's 10,317 in population
and expressed her concern that the beachside communities might not be receiving their
fair share from the County due to under -representation. Mayor Randels affirmed that the
10,000 does include the seasonal residents. Mr. Boucher informed that the population
census came from the University of Florida and his argument with them was that the City
was not receiving full credit for services to seasonal residents; however, they would not
change. Ms. Roberts stated that the City increased up to 14,000 at the height of season
which was substantial over the 10,000, stated and she went record to state that the City
was under -represented.
Mr. Nicholas questioned if the formula for calculating the percentage was State law and he
suggested addressing this with the State legislature. Mr. Boucher informed that Cape
Canaveral would need to gain all the cities agreement in order to make a change to how
the percentage was calculated and would probably cause dissension between the
beachside and mainland communities. Mr. Petsos expressed that the current Agreement
did not expire until 2021 and perhaps discussion was possible prior to forwarding consent.
Mr. Boucher responded that the Board of County Commissioners desired to discuss this
issue at their July 10th meeting. Mr. Boucher stated that the County was reluctant to
amend its 47 percent portion. Mr. Boucher informed that the Amendment would proceed
regardless of full consent due to agreement from the larger communities. Ms. Roberts
requested a Coalition of the beachside communities on issues of common concern in
order to present these concerns effectively to the County.
A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Hoog and seconded by Mr. Nicholas to
Approve Local Option Gas Tax — Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement with
Brevard County. The vote on the motion carried 5-0 with voting as follows: Mayor
Pro Tem Hoog, For; Mr. Nicholas, For; Mr. Petsos, For; Mayor Randels, For and
Ms. Roberts, For.
ORDINANCES: Second Public Hearing:
6. Motion to Adopt: Ordinance No. 04-2007; Amending Chapter 110, Clarifying
the Intent of the R-1, R-2, and R-3 Residential Zoning Districts, Defining the
Terns "Resort Dwelling" and "Resort Condominium" at Second Reading.
Attorney Garganese distributed the most recent Draft of the Ordinance dated June 18,
2007 to the Council with the amendments highlighted. Attorney Garganese stated that
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Regular Meeting
June 19, 2007
Page 8 of 18
there were several changes to the Draft of June 14, 2007 in Pages 6, 7, and 8 and he
referred to the first change: Page 6, Section 110-332, which clarifies resort condominiums
satisfying the Certificate of Occupancy and zoning requirement for a hotel -motel under the
City code shall be regulated as a principle use under Section 110-332, Sub -paragraph (4)
hotels and motels. If it meets the hotel -motel standard of requirements, then it would not
need a residential special exception.
Attorney Garganese proceeded to Page 7. A Preliminary Non -conforming Certificate
procedure that would establish for resort dwelling and resort condominiums that received
Site Plan approval yet have not been constructed or that have already filed a Site Plan
proposing resort condominiums by June 19, 2007. This one change indicates that those
property owners would be required to file a $100 file fee in order to obtain that Preliminary
Non -Conforming Certificate. Attorney Garganese explained that there were Site Plans
that have been currently approved for resort condominiums that were currently in
existence and there was also one application of which the City was aware. Those
properties were eligible for a Preliminary Certificate of Non -Conforming Status. If they
succeed through the rest of the process, they would be able to have a resort condominium
or resort dwelling under the Ordinance. The City was however imposing a $100 filing fee
to obtain that Preliminary certificate.
Ms. Roberts questioned how the $100 filing fee applied. Attorney Garganese replied that
there were two different fees: 1) an existing unit required a $100 fee, and 2) those units
that were not constructed were required to obtain a Preliminary Non -Conforming
Certificate for $100, then proceed through the Building Department permit process and
pay an additional fee in order to get a Building Permit to build a resort condominium unit in
compliance with existing building and fire codes. This would address those the City's
several existing Site Plans So their additional fees would occur at a later time; however,
the upfront fee would recognize those Site Plans for purposes of this Ordinance and
processing their request for future resort dwellings and resort condominiums.
Ms. Roberts asked if each owner within existing condominiums would need to apply for
this certificate. Mr. Boucher replied that it depended how they were licensed. He
explained how those units under a management company would handle the fee for those
units and the others that were individuals would require notification and arrangement for
inspections and certificates under the Code. Ms. Roberts questioned if the City would
subsequently receive one from the owner. Mr. Boucher responded that they would be
constructed for that occupancy which was resort condominiums and if the developer keeps
the units under one manager then they would either be managed either singly or as a
group under this provision. Ms. Roberts inquired if the $100 fee would apply to each
individual unit. Mr. Boucher affirmed. Ms. Roberts then asked about how this would apply
to the time-shares. Attorney Garganese explained that the $100 fee would apply per unit,
not per owner and for a time-share the fee was divided among the number of owners.
The units not yet constructed were subject to the Building Permit process which included
inspections.

City Council Regular Meeting

Attorney Garganese proceeded to Page 8 and noted the change to Sub -paragraph (i)
related to the Certificate of Non -Conforming Status. The intent was to assure that a
person who had filed a Site Plan application but was not approved yet; the person would
need to demonstrate that the application was in full force and effect in order to obtain this
Non -Conforming status. The Ordinance reads, "If the Site Plan was filed but not yet
approved before June 19, 2007, the owner would have one-year from June 19, 2007 to
obtain Site Plan approval to construct the resort dwelling units or the resort condominium
units as a condition. language was also added to state that within 30 -days of the
receiving that Certificate of Occupancy for a resort dwelling or condominium unit, the
applicant was required to not only get the license from the State, but also to obtain the
Certificate of Non -Conforming status under the Ordinance.
Mayor Randels pointed out that the changes in discussion were on Pages 6, 7, and 8.
Mayor read the second sentence in Section 110-332, Item (15), for clarification, "Resort
condominiums satisfying the Certificate of Occupancy and zoning requirements for a hotel,
motel under the City Code shall be regulated as a principle use under Section 110-332(4)
Hotel, Motels. Attorney Garganese explained that if someone desired to be a residential
unit then they would need to obtain a Special Exception; however, they would need to
obtain one for the C-1 zoning district which applied to the North Atlantic corridor as
previously approved by Council and pursuant to the attached map.
Mayor Randels referred to Page 7 of the June 18th draft and clarified that a $100 per unit
fee would be charged to ensure that the unit was in compliance with building and fire
codes. However, if the unit was under construction, then the expectation was to build to
the existing code as it was being constructed. Attorney Garganese replied that the $100
file applied to preserve the right to build as a resort condominium or resort dwelling and
obtain the Preliminary Non -Conforming Use status permit; however, subsequent building
permit fees still applied. Ms. Roberts inquired about the time line and asked if Chief Dave
Sargeant stated that the number of days was dependent upon the number of permits
submitted. Ms. Roberts referred to the timeline and made note that 30 -days from the
permit application. Attorney Garganese clarified that the one-year began from the day that
an applicant filed their Notice of Intent.
Ms. Roberts reviewed for clarity on the timelines. Ms. Roberts stated that there were 30 -
days from June 19th on the filing and after those 30 days to submit the life/safety plan. Ms.
Roberts questioned how long for the Fire Department's review. Chief Sargeant responded
that a condominium building might take up to 60 -days to come up with a plan. Ms.
Roberts stated her intent was to review the timeline in light of when the 365 days began.
Ms. Roberts stated that 30 -days from June 19th everyone interested would need to submit
their filing fee of intent and 30 -days from that time they would need to give the Fire Chief a
life/ safety plan. Chief Sargeant replied that 365 days was left open to extension.
Attorney Garganese clarified that the one-year began the day that the Notice of Intent was
filed. Ms. Roberts continued review of the timeline and said after the Fire Chief reviews
the life/ safety plan, and then the applicant needed to submit a detailed plan within 90 -days
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Regular Meeting
June 19, 2007
Page 10 of 18
of review. Chief Sargeant affirmed. Chief Sargeant clarified that the initial 30 days was
the most important period. Ms. Roberts stated her concern with persons left in an unsafe
condition during the timeline process between the Notice of Intent and the Life/ Safety
Plan. Mayor Randels concluded that people had the first 30 days. Lamar Russell,
Planning and Zoning Board, referred to the Board's notes which outlined that there was an
initial 30 days, then 90 days for plans and specifications up to one-year with allowable
extensions. Attorney Garganese clarified that the timeline began 30 days from the Notice
of Intent; however, the Notice of Intent should be filed within 30 days of the effective date
of the Ordinance.
Mayor Pro Tem Hoog stated that he shared Ms. Roberts' concern with the timeline. Mayor
Pro Tem Hoog expressed the need for expeditious review. Chief Sargeant stated that
review would depend on what was submitted. However, if a volume of plans were
submitted, consequently, more time was required. Applicants would be notified that they
would be required to shut down with the exception of the three allowable times for rental in
any one year. Chief Sargeant however assured an effective, yet expeditious review. He
replied to Mayor Pro Tem Hoog that he did not foresee the need for a full time person for
these inspections. Mr. Morley added that the 90 -day period was the date of the technical
drawing submittal and the building and fire department review would commence; however
there was ample time before the 365 day mark was met. Mr. Morley responded to Mayor
Pro Tem Hoog that as long as a good faith effort was made to comply, then he and the
Fire Chief would want to encourage them by allowing for an extension.
Ms. Roberts referred to Page 8 and pointed out where an owner would be shut down in
operation until they were approved. Attorney Garganese replied perhaps that they were
long term rentals and not operating a resort dwelling or resort condominium without a
license. Ms. Roberts wanted to ensure that anyone considering this was aware that until
they were approved until the met the requirements. Attorney Garganese stated that until
they have the requisite Certificate of Occupancy that meets all the building and fire
requirements and the license by the State, they lawfully operate. The Section states that
no one could operate unlawfully while trying to obtain licensure and Certificates of
Occupancy.
Mayor Randels also referred to Page 8, subsection (4) and made note that as long as the
owner attempts to make a good faith effort to obtain the required licensure or they would
need to notify the City and seek an extension. Mayor Randels proceeded to read Item No.
(i) on Page 8 " If a site plan was filed, but not yet approved, before June 19, 2007, the
owner shall have one (1) year from June 19, 2007 to obtain site plan approval to construct
the dwelling unit(s) or condominium unit(s)." Attorney Garganese clarified that if the Site
Plan application was submitted as to June 19th, they have one-year to get the Site Plan
approved and then they must construct the units in compliance with the building and fire
code.
Mayor Randels then read Item No. (iii), on Page 8. Ms. Roberts stated that there were
many more changes since the June 14th Draft and she clarified as a point of order, that the
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Regular Meeting
June 19, 2007
Page 11 of 18
Mayor was only reviewing the changes since the June 14th Draft. Mayor Randels affirmed
that the Council would also review the changes since the June 5th meeting. Attorney
Garganese stated that he would express any changes since the First Reading. Ms.
Roberts stated her concern to hear to Council's review of any changes that occurred
during the First Public Hearing and not just the changes made between the Draft of June
14th and June 18th. Attorney Garganese explained how during First Reading there was
discussion over those Site Plans that were already approved yet not completed. The City
had such a Site Plan in which the applicant was considering a resort condominium type
project. Therefore Subsection (5) was added to address just that situation in which Site
Plans were approved but units have not been constructed and Site Plans that have been
submitted and were in the application process but were not yet approved.
Attorney Garganese explained how Subsection (5) created the procedure for where if an
applicant has a Site Plan that has been approved or a Site Plan that has been filed by
June 19, 2007 and the intentions were to have those units converted to a resort
condominium then a Notice of Intent must be filed with City. This notice was called a
Preliminary Notice of Non -Conforming Status for that project and then the owner would
have a certain period of time and shall be required to file the Notice of Intent with the City
Manager, declared and registered the Notice of Intent to duly license the proposed
condominium unit or dwelling unit as a resort dwelling or resort condominium under
Chapter 509, Florida Statutes, when the unit is constructed.
Once the Preliminary Notice of Non -Conforming Status was issued, then a Final Certificate
of Non -Conforming Status would be issued in order to have a resort dwelling or resort
condominium. However, three conditions apply: 1) only applies to Site Plans that were
filed but not yet approved, 2) at the time the dwelling or condominium receives an initial
Certificate of Occupancy from the Building Official, the unit shall meet the building and fire
code standards applicable to a resort dwelling or resort condominium, and 3) within 30
days of the Certificate of Occupancy, an applicant must obtain a license from the State of
Florida and a Final Certificate of Non -Conforming Status from the City Manager.
Attorney Garganese stated that there were two special circumstances that addressed a
vested rights issues: 1) those Site Plans that have been approved yet the units have not
been constructed, and 2) those applicants that already have a Site Plan submitted to build
resort condominiums yet have not completed the process. This gives them an opportunity
to preserve that right to have a resort condominium or resort dwelling. Attorney
Garganese clarified that the provision addressed a vested rights interest expressly in this
Ordinance involving Site Pians that have been approved or were in the application stage.
Attorney Garganese clarified that the other change established June 19, 2007 as the
Effective Date. Attorney Garganese also clarified that the last change was to Page 9 of 10
which carried forward the provision and excludes of the C-1 zoning district. Mayor
Randels read from Section 110-486, Rental Restrictions on Dwelling Units that "it shall be
unlawful for any person to rent a dwelling unit for less than seven (7) consecutive days in
any zoning district excluding the C-1 zoning district.

Mr. Boucher informed that that when the Certificate of Non -Conforming Status was filed it
would be recorded with the Brevard County Clerk of Court and attached to the property.
Ms. Roberts referred to Page 2, the last WHEREAS clause and made note of the last
sentence in which Mayor Randels stated for the record to strike the letter "s" from
dwellings. Ms. Roberts asked if the practice of exchange related to time-share was
addressed. Ms. Roberts referred to the previous meeting in which Mr. John Grandlich of
the Ron Jon Cape Caribe Resort stated that the owners have the right to use it, exchange
it, or rent it. Mayor Randels pointed out that the previous meeting minutes state that the
Association was licensed under Florida Statutes Chapter 721. Mr. Grandlich informed that
an exchange was not a rental in that there was no transfer of money.
Attorney Garganese explained that a time-share operating under its legal business
practice allowed for the exchange practice. Ms. Roberts expressed that there might be
other opportunities for the use of the exchange practice such as with a residence and
explained how this was also a form of transient use. Ms. Roberts pointed out that this
question arose from the community as it could be applied; however, there was no further
point of discussion if it were not an applicable issue. Mr. Petsos replied that he did not
think there were enough to reach a threshold to become a resort dwelling and if
residences were exchanged it was usually for more than a month at one time. Ms.
Roberts suggested a depiction of the timeline for the community. Mayor Randels referred
to the depiction as submitted from the Planning and Zoning Board in the packet.
Mayor Randels read Ordinance No. 04-2007 by title.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA, AMENDING
CHAPTER 110, ZONING, OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES; CLARIFYING THE INTENT
OF THE R-1, R-2 AND R-3 RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS; DEFINING THE TERM
'RESORT DWELLING;'DEFINING THE TERM "RESORT CONDOMINIUM;' PROVIDING
FOR THE LOCATION AND REGULATION OF RESORT DWELLINGS AND
CONDOMINIUMS UNDER CONDITIONS STATED HEREIN; AMENDING THE
SUPPLEMENTAL ZONING DISTRICT REGULATIONS TO RESTATE THAT ANY
RENTAL OF A DWELLING UNIT SHALL BE FOR A MINIMUM OF SEVEN (7) DAYS;
PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF PRIOR INCONSISTENT ORDINANCES AND
RESOLUTIONS; INCORPORATION INTO THE CODE; SEVERABILITY; AND AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Ms. Helen Filkins stated that this was a sad day for her since 33 years ago the City voted
to become low density, residential community. Ms. Filkins expressed how she watched
the Miami community change over time due to resort dwellings. She explained that the
Ordinance was a how-to document for renting out residences. Ms. Filkins explained that
the document WHEREAS clauses were contradictory in their attempt to retain a residential
City but procedural on how to rent residences. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog stated that he was
opposed to resort rentals; however, a few people invested in their home to rent those
homes until their retirements with rights to their property. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog expressed
the preference to adopt an Ordinance that was defensible. Ms. Filkins expressed that no
one had the right because they did not present this to the people first. Mayor Randels
explained that the Ordinance would prohibit resort dwellings and resort condominiums in
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Regular Meeting
June 19, 2007
Page 13 of 18
the R-1, R-2, and R-3 zoning districts. Ms. Filkins emphasized that the people voted for a
low density, small town. Mayor Randels pointed out that the residents successfully voted
for low density, height restrictions, and residential along the ocean and the river. Ms.
Filkins thanked the Council for the opportunity to express her view.
Mr. Kohn Bennett, of 1000 Shorewood Drive stated that the Council clarified its intent at
the previous meeting related to approved Site Plans. Mr. Bennett pointed out that once an
applicant obtains the Certificate of Occupancy for the new building, there were 30 days to
obtain the State license and for the City Manager to sign his license. Mr. Bennett pointed
out how he had no control over the State licensing time period. Mr. Bennett offered
language for Sub -paragraph 5 and suggested a grace period under the third sub -point (iii).
"and judiciously pursue his license within that time period." Ms. Roberts stated that the
owner was required to obtain the requisite license; however, she stated her concern with a
time frame to reasonably obtain the licensing. Mr. Bennett pointed out that he would also
need a signature on the Final Certificate from the City Manager. Discussion concluded
and agreed on a change of language to a "60 -day' provision to obtain a license from the
Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
Ms. Sandy Trudeau of Merritt Island and owner of three resort dwelling properties in
Cape Canaveral thanked the Council for the grandfathering provision; however, Ms.
Trudeau expressed that two of her properties would under closure due to the Ordinance.
Chief Sargeant clarified that the State found her in violation. However, Ms. Trudeau's
properties would remain closed until she was found conforming and met the requirements.
Ms. Trudeau informed that she was in possession of signed rental agreements. Chief
Sargeant emphasized that once the applicant officially applied, they were officially notifying
that they were non -conforming. At that point in time, per the Ordinance, those units could
not be rented for more than three times in a year for seven days. They would have to go
to long-term rental until they comply with the law. Ms. Trudeau informed that the State told
her that she needed egress from the third floor, unless she could get a letter of waiver from
the City.
Mayor Randels asked Ms. Trudeau if she could meet with the Building Official, the Fire
Chief and the State Representative to resolve her issue. Ms. Trudeau requested a special
amendment for her circumstance. Attorney Garganese clarified that Ms. Trudeau was
asking the Council to waive the building code requirement for her situation and he advised
the Council against such an action that was in direct contradiction to the building code
requirements for life/ safety. Ms. Trudeau explained how she was subject to financial
losses and potential litigation due to breaches of contract. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog stated
that her third story was not in compliance with the law. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog stated that
he was not in support of any waivers and stated that she had a right and it was up to her to
use that right. Council members expressed their disapproval with Ms. Trudeau's request.
Council members explained that the previous amendment was made for un -constructed
units. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog requested for staff to be expeditious in their review. Ms.
Roberts expressed how what was fair and equitable would apply to any and all applicants.

Attorney Garganese referred to Page 9, in Section 110-486 related to Section 110-332 (4)
and requested to exclude "hotels and motels". Ms. Roberts stated that she read the
provision as more being restrictive. Discussion followed on the intent of the City Attorney's
proposed change. Mr. Bennett pointed out that resort condominiums were a new
definition, kept in C-1, and they should be able to operate daily within the intent of C-1
zoning with a resort condominium license. Mr. Bennett expressed agreement with the
restriction for residences on a lot in the C-1 zoning district; however, he agreed with Ms.
Roberts on the overly restrictive aspect of the City Attorney's proposed change. Ms.
Roberts called for a Point of Order to hear the City Attorney's intention. Attorney
Garganese clarified that it was not his desire to add a provision to the practice of a less
than 7 -day rental in any other zoning district outside
of C-1 zoning.
Mr. Petsos stated that he preferred to see the Ordinance remain as submitted. Mr.
Nicholas referred to the zoning map and noted the amount of commercial zoning on the
west side of North Atlantic Avenue. Mr. Boucher clarified that after the Ordinance was
adopted a resort dwelling or resort condominiums could permit daily rental use as long as
they met the same requirements as a hotel or motel in the C-1 zoning district.
A motion was made by Ms. Roberts and seconded by Mr. Petsos to extend the
meeting until 10:30 P.M. The vote on the motion carried 5-0 with voting as follows:
Mayor Pro Tem Hoog, For; Mr. Nicholas, For; Mr. Petsos, For; Mayor Randels, For
and Ms. Roberts, For.
Mr. Boucher advised Council to have the Planning and Zoning Board review the smaller
units. Council decided to vote on the City Attorney's amendment. The City Attomey
recommended striking the language, "excluding the C-1 zoning district," and inserting,
"excluding hotels -motels." under Section 332, Sub -paragraph (4), Hotels -Motels. Mr.
Boucher clarified that this would maintain the status quo in the C-1 zoning. Mr. Bennett
stated that the amendment would not allow the newly defined resort condominium to
operate as a commercial activity. Mr. Boucher referred to Page 6 and read how a resort
condominium was permitted to operate. Attorney Garganese found suitable language to
make the amendment. Attomey Garganese stated that the amendment could be
connected to a permitted use. Ms. Roberts clarified that at a later time the Planning and
Zoning Board would address transient apartments, rooms, and bed and breakfasts.
An amendment was made by Mr. Nicholas and seconded by Mr. Petsos to the main
motion to change the number of days from "30 -days" to "60 -days" on Page 8, Item
5, Paragraph 5, Roman Numeral III, for which the owner would be required to obtain
licensure from the Department of Business and Professional Regulations. The vote
on the motion carried 5-0 with voting as follows: Mayor Pro Tem Hoog, For; Mr.
Nicholas, For; Mr. Petsos, For; Mayor Randels, For and Ms. Roberts, For.

An amendment to the main motion was made by Mr. Nicholas and seconded by
Mayor Pro Tem Hoog to Amend Page 9, Section 110-486 to read, "It shall be
unlawful for any person to rent a dwelling unit for less than seven (7) consecutive
days in any zoning district, excluding hotels -motels under Section 332, Sub-
paragraph (4) and Resort Condominiums in the C-1 Zoning District." The vote on
the motion carried 5-0 with voting as follows: Mayor Pro Tem Hoog, For; Mr.
Nicholas, For; Mr. Petsos, For; Mayor Randels, For and Ms. Roberts, For.
A motion was made by Mr. Nicholas and seconded by Mr. Petsos to Adopt
Ordinance No. 04-2007 as amended at Second Reading. The vote on the motion
carried 5-0 with voting as follows: Mayor Pro Tem Hoog, For; Mr. Nicholas, For; Mr.
Petsos, For; Mayor Randels, For and Ms. Roberts, For.
Ms. Roberts proposed to shift the sequence of the Discussion Items out of respect for
those audience members who were waiting to be heard. The Chair, hearing no other
approval, decided that there was no support to change the order and the meeting
continued with the next discussion item.
DISCUSSION:
7. Florida Cities of Excellence Awards — Nominations.
Mayor Pro Tem Hoog considered a nomination for Mr. Bennett Boucher as City Manager
of the Year stating that he has been a City employee for 22 years. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog
also nominated Mayor Randels as Mayor of the Year for his 10 years as Mayor of his 20
years tenure. Ms. Roberts requested to also consider several other employees in the
various nominating categories: Andrea Bowers in Finance, Todd Morley as Building
Official, Duree Alexander as Employee of the Year, Jeff Ratliff as well as Robert Lefever.
Mayor Pro Tem Hoog cautioned on too many nominations from the same City coming to
the selection committee. Mayor Randels expressed to submit the City Manager's name
only. Mr. Petsos agreed with the Mayor to nominate one person. Mr. Boucher thanked
the Council for the nomination.
A motion was made by Mr. Nicholas and seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Hoog to
Nominate City Manager, Bennett Boucher at the Florida Cities of Excellence
Awards. The vote on the motion carried 5-0 with voting as follows: Mayor Pro Tem
Hoog, For; Mr. Nicholas, For; Mr. Petsos, For; Mayor Randels, For and Ms. Roberts,

8. Administrative Appeals Related to the Zoning Code of Ordinances. Rev.
Ms. Roberts thanked the audience members who remained to discuss this issue. She
explained how the current process does not allow for City Council's input prior to or
subsequent to a Board of Adjustment Hearing. Ms. Roberts stated that the process also
did not allow for the community input during a Hearing. Ms. Roberts expressed how the
City Council serves as the Board of Adjustment in other municipalities and she proposed
that suggestion to the Council. Ms. Roberts explained how as the Appeal process stands
in her understanding an Appeal of the Building Official proceeds from the Board of
Adjustment then to the Planning and Zoning Board and back to the Board of Adjustment at
the time of Appeal. Ms. Roberts proposed for the Council to consider participating in the
Appeals process or to consider eliminating the Board of Adjustment and having City
Council assume that capacity. Ms. Roberts stated that there was no system of checks and
balances in the existing process or for community input.
Mayor Pro Tem Hoog asked the City Manager why the Council served as the Board of
Adjustment in the past and under what circumstance did that change. Mr. Boucher
responded that Municipal Home Rule might have allowed for the existing Board of
Adjustment to remain after 1972. No Council prior to this one considered assuming those
duties. Mr. Boucher replied that the Council had the authority to serve as the Board of
Adjustment. Attorney Garganese affirmed that in other cities the Council takes that
authority. Mr. Petsos expressed that he always felt that City Council should make the final
decision. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog stated that he did not desire to eliminate the Board;
however, he would agree to participate in the process. Mr. Nicholas stated that the Board
had expertise in the Zoning Code area. He expressed to retain the Board's expertise,
however, the City Council would serve in the Appeals.
Ms. Roberts responded to Mayor Pro Tem Hoog's implication of additional meetings that
she did not believe the number of additional meetings would present a burden. She re-
stated her concern that the process did not allow for community input. Ms. Roberts
explained how if it were decided that the Board of Adjustment process did not allow for
public comment except to a limited extent, then the impacted community did have a right
to be heard by the Council. Ms. Roberts stated that the current process favors the
applicant and did not favor the community at large. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog stated that the
most recent hearing was established as a court hearing which was the forum of an Appeal
and therefore, public comment was limited. Ms. Roberts replied that in this case in terms of
appealing the decision of the Building Official, in the interest of the public good and the
broader community in support of the Ordinances changes previously made, the Building
Official made his decision based on an incredible amount of community care and concern.
However, that input was minimally heard. Such concerns were raised before the most
recent meeting. Ms. Roberts expressed how the community in which she resides was
appalled that City Council did not participate in the Appeals process.
Ms. Roberts asked if the way the Board of Adjustment operates was in conformance with
the City's own code. Attorney Garganese affirmed that it did. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Regular Meeting
June 19, 2007
Page 17 of 18
responded that the Appeals process was specific to one subject only. Mr. Petsos
requested to have the staff review some options such as: 1) whether the Council desired
to serve as the Board of Adjustment, or 2) whether the Council would use them as an
Advisory Board and have the final decision rest with the Council. Attorney Garganese
stated that "pursuant to City Code Section 110-33 once the Board renders a final Appeal, it
would proceed to the Circuit Court." Attorney Garganese explained the condition of why
the result of the overturned Appeal would place an issue before the Planning and Zoning
Board.
Ms. Roberts emphasized that she desired for the impacted parties to also have the right of
Appeals and she preferred for the Council to assume the duties of the Board of
Adjustment. She did not think that the amount of business was significantly burdensome.
Attorney Garganese explained the three options as: 1) the Board of Adjustment could
maintain their authority, 2) City Council could assume that authority, or 3) or the City
Council could serve as an Appellate body to hear any Appeals from the Board of
Adjustment. In addition, the Council could also eliminate all and obtain a Special Hearings
Master. Ms. Roberts emphasized how with regard to hearing Appeals that the community,
those impacted parties, have the right to be heard. Discussion followed on how to include
City Council in the Appeals process. Attorney Garganese reported that in another City the
Board of Adjustment serves in a recommending capacity to the Council. Mr. Nicholas
suggested returning to a Workshop meeting for discussion purposes and the Regular
meeting serving for taking action purposes.
Mr. Russell stated that the purpose of the Boards were to alleviate some of the Council's
work. He explained how this might also drive away members committed to their work. Mr.
Russell stated that Advisory Board members reside into the community also. Mayor Pro
Tem Hoog stated that the Council removed some of the Planning and Zoning Board's
authority in their review process which affected the Board's performance. Mayor Pro Tem
Hoog stated how he was in favor of being an Appellate Board to the Board of Adjustment
but not to eliminate a Board. He explained to Ms. Roberts that the one meeting that she
focused on was an Appellate Hearing. As a point of order, Mayor Randels concluded to
have staff review the options related to the Board of Adjustment. On a final note, Mr.
Russell stated that the when the Council removed power from the Boards, they remove
the leverage for the Board to perform their job.
Ms. Ruth Anders expressed agreement with Ms. Roberts. Ms. Anders submitted a letter
to City Council related to the Board of Adjustments decision. Ms. Anders stated that
her committee had obtained a legal opinion from the City Attorney in order for citizens to
gain a right to be heard. Ms. Anders stated that the Board of Adjustment's final decision
should be "void ab initio." Ms. Anders concluded that the Board's action had no legal
validity at any time.
Mr. Werner Grewe submitted a letter to the City Council referencing Administrative
Appeals related to the Zoning Code of Ordinances Board of Adjustment of June 14,
2007. In summary, Mr. Grewe addressed the Council and stated that the Board of
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Regular Meeting
June 19. 2007
Page 18 of 18
Adjustment provided a disgraceful performance under the Chairmanship of Mr. Earl
McMillin. Mr. Grewe read his letter to the Council which reviewed the points of how the
meeting was unbalanced allowing for Attorney Torpy to speak at great length, how the
other Board members had nothing to say during the meeting, how Mr. Torpy's
presentation provided a distorted view of how the tank farm evolved and finally how Mayor
Joy Salamone was not in favor of additional storage tanks.
Ms. Annie Tannenbaum stated that the development was different at the time of the tank
farm development. Ms. Tannenbaum also questioned the background of the Board of
Adjustment Members.

Re:. A Self -Contained Appraisal Report on the 6,420 square foot Volunteer Fire
Station located on the northwest corner of Poinsetta Avenue and Jackson
Avenue with the address 190 Jackson Avenue in Cape Canaveral, Florida
32920 and the .286 acre parcel of vacant land located on the southwest
corner of Poinsetta Avenue and Monroe Avenue in Cape Canaveral,
Florida.
Dear Mr. Boucher:
Per your request, we personally inspected the above referenced subject property on
March 28, 2007 in order to estimate the market value in the unencumbered fee simple
ownership. The intended use of this appraisal is to provide information to assist in
determining a purchase price for the subject property. The subject is described in further
depth within the attached report.
The report conveys data, analyses and value conclusions. It is prepared in accordance with
guidelines established by the Uniform Standard of Professional Appraisal Practice
(USPAP). This is a Self -Contained appraisal report.
The subject consists of two independent parcels contiguous to one another. For the
purpose of this report we have identified the subject property as:
Parcel A: a 6,420 square foot Volunteer Fire Station located on the northwest corner of
Poinsetta Avenue and Jackson Avenue with the address 190 Jackson Avenue in Cape
Canaveral, Florida 32920 and Parcel B: a .286 acre parcel of vacant land located on the
southwest corner of Poinsetta Avenue and Monroe Avenue in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
This parcel has an existing 960± square foot wood frame building that was constructed in
1965. This building is in poor condition and is not considered to contribute value and would
need to be razed, therefore this parcel will be valued "As Vacant". The cost of removal is
estimated to be approximately $5,000, which will be deducted from the overall estimated
market value for Parcel B to obtain the "As Is" value.
Mr. Boucher
April 4, 2007
Page Two
We have estimated the "As Is" Market Value for the Volunteer Fire Station, as of the date
of inspection, March 28, 2007, as a Value in Use, due to the special purpose nature of this
property. We also provide our estimate of the .286 acre parcel, "As Vacant" as of the date
of inspection, March 28, 2008 as follows:
FEE SIMPLE MARKET VALUE - VALUE IN USE
PARCEL A - VOLUNTEER FIRE STATION
SEVEN HUNDRED TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
$710,000
$245,000
The above market value estimates are subject to the general and extraordinary limiting
conditions and assumptions listed in the attached report.
This report has been prepared for Mr. Boucher, the City Manager for the City of Cape
Canaveral and is intended only for use by the City of Cape Canaveral. Parties who receive
a copy of this report do not become a party to the appraiser -client relationship and do not
become intended users of this report unless the parties were specifically identified as such
at the time of the engagement for services.
This appraisal is prepared in accordance with the appraisers' understanding of the
guidelines established by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal
Practice(USPAP). We believe this report to be complete, but any questions you may have
are welcomed.

Port moves ahead with resort lease
2 lines
BY SCOTT BLAKE
FLORIDA TODAY
Page 1 of 2
Port commissioners on Wednesday directed their staff to deliver a proposed lease agreement within
two months to move ahead with a $200 million plan to build a Ron Jon water park and resort at Port
Canaveral.
The project, which could open in 2010, is expected to take tourism at Brevard County's seaport to a
higher level.
Ron Jon, and possibly partner The Cordish Co., a well-known Baltimore -based developer, would
lease land from the Canaveral Port Authority.
The site is at the west end of the port, off State Road 528, on the Banana River.
Port commissioners selected Ron Jon for the project about a 11/2 years ago, but the two sides have
not been able to reach an agreement.
For a while, it seemed the project might fall through, but the two sides had a "breakthrough" in
negotiations this week, port officials said.
"I think these negotiations represent a real step forward for our port," Commissioner Joe Matheny
said. "I had given up hope that we could reach an agreement with Ron Jon."
A sticking point was whether the Port Authority would receive a percentage of revenue from the park,
but now it looks like the authority would receive a flat fee from the lease.
As it stands now, the lease
would be for 50 years, with the Port Authority receiving 10 percent of the property's appraised value
each year under the lease. A new appraisal of the property will be done, said Port Authority Chief
Executive Officer Stan Payne.
Another sticking point could be control of Jetty Park on the beach at the port
Ron Jon would like to operate Jetty Park to complement its water park on the river, while keeping it a
public facility, port officials said.
Ron Jon may want to offer activities at the beach, such as surfing or windsurfing, Commissioner
Chairman Tom Goodson said.
Commissioner Ray Sharkey, however, said he has concerns that Ron Jon's involvement would limit
public access at Jetty Park.
Sharkey also expressed concerns about the Port Authority not collecting any rent on the proposed
water park site since port officials selected Ron Jon for the project in late 2005.

Ron Jon President Ed Moriarty said negotiations with port officials have made "substantial progress,"
and an agreement could be reached within 60 days.
The project's estimated cost, at this point, is in excess of $200 million, he said.
The proposal -- so far about two years in the making -- still calls for a water park with a wave pool, a
hotel possibly with 300 to 400 rooms, a Ron Jon store and possibly a bus system to Jetty Park,
among other features, Moriarty said.
However, a conference center no longer appears to be part of the proposal, port officials said.
The Cordish Co. would be the project's developer, and Cordish may run the water park by itself or
with Ron Jon, while a third party would run the hotel, Moriarty said.
He indicated that future plans for the existing Ron Jon store in Cocoa Beach have not been finalized,
but he said the store not continue to operate as a Ron Jon outlet once the park/resort at Port
Canaveral opens.
