I
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA
CREATING A NEW CHAPTER 115 TO THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL CODE OF
ORDINANCES, RELATING TO VESTED DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS; PROVIDING FOR THE
REPEAL OF PRIOR INCONSISTENT ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS,
INCORPORATION INTO THE CODE, SEVERABILITY AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mr. Morgan asked if the Planning and Zoning Board had arrived at a conclusion on the
structure issue. Mr. Nicholas, Planning and Zoning Board member, replied that uniformity
on the definition of structure came into discussion. Ms. Bea McNeely, Planning and Zoning I
Board, Chairperson, informed that some of the ordinance's language was difficult to
understand. The Board recommended the ordinance unanimously although they
expressed their concerns to the City Attorney.'
Attomey Buak explained that the City Attorney's office was aware of the Board's concerns
with the ordinance's language; however Florida Statutes Chapter 380 entitled Vested
Rights for DRI "s had been tested and upheld in the courts. He explained that having a
Vested Rights ordinance on the books was a necessity due to prevalent property rights
issues and precedents that have been set. However, if definitions are causing difficulty,
r

they could be adjusted for clarity prior to a second reading. Mr. Lamar Russell, Planning
and Zoning Board, Vice - Chairperson, stated that the definition of structure is different in
this section of the ordinance from other parts of the code. He restated that the Board had
much discussion and concern over this ordinance due to lack of clarity. Mayor Randels
stated that this ordinance would provide the City with legal protection but he also found the
language incomprehensible. Mr. Russell expressed that citizens should be able to read
and understand their governing laws.
1 Mr. Gardulski asked about this ordinance in light of new regulatory laws such as those for
1 g 9 rY
stormwater, siltation and construction. He asked if the ordinance would have provisions to
address any changes by regulatory agencies. Attorney Buak explained that to the point
that the City has jurisdiction, the City can acknowledge the regulations whether they are
Federal, State or local at the time of the development approval. If there were some Federal
or State law that is superior to the local legislation, then that law would apply. Attorney
Buak explained further that permitting for infrastructure such as stormwater has a time
certain element for validation. If the permit is unexpired, then the developer would still
have entitlement to that permit even if Department of Environmental Protection laws
change in the interim. Vested Rights are equity rights due to all as long as the project
request was not abandoned. Attorney Buak stated that Vested Rights issues would be
considered in light of prevailing regulations. Attorney Buak replied to Mr. Gardulski that
maintaining infrastructure according to its design state was addressed in one of the
ordinance's "more" statements that outline expenditures for legal and professional
services. Mayor Randels pointed out how the definition of structure differed in Chapter 115
from what is applied in Chapter 110. Attorney Buak explained that Chapter 115 had a
different applicability for the term structure than that of Chapter 110.
A motion was made by Mr. Morgan and seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Petsos to
Approve Ordinance No 27 -2003 at first reading.
A motion was made by Mr. Morgan and seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Petsos to
Table Ordinance No. 27 -2003 and refer this ordinance to the City Attorney for

issue is a public safety concern. Mr. Morgan suggested an article in the upcoming City

Mayor Randels clarified that the intent is for the City to address any tree that it has planted
within a right -of -way. Mr. Gardulski replied to Mayor Randels that palm trees are installed if

space. Ms. Bea McNeely expressed favor with trimming the trees in order to maintain

unsatisfied with a Planning and Zoning Board decision.

Attomey Buak stated that the First Circuit Court could only make a decision finding that
I procedural due process was followed on quasi-judicial board proceedings. Mr. Russell
stated that the Board has not made a procedural error to date. He also stated that the
Board renders its decisions outside of political duress. Mr. Hoog expressed that he 1
preferred an avenue of appeal prior to litigation and that avenue should be the Council.
Ms. Bea McNeely suggested that an appeal proceed to the Board of Adjustment. Attorney
Buak advised against three - tiers: from Planning and Zoning Board to the Board of
Adjustment and then to the Council. He explained that substantial, competent evidence is
the ruling factor with the courts.

DISCUSSION:
19. Proposed Amendments to the TICO Airport Authority Charter.
p y 1
Mayor Randels informed that Commissioner Ron Pritchard requested feedback from the
City Council on the proposed Charter Amendment on the TICO [Titusville- Cocoa] Airport
Authority. Commissioner Pritchard proposed changes to the Boards regulating the TICO
Airport. The City Manager distributed handouts and stated that Mr. Ken Rivard,
Commissioner Pritchard's office was present to gain support on the proposal.
Mr. Boucher expressed that if the City had existing representation, why would we want to
relinquish that seat when TICO has taxing authority. Mr. Boucher related the Board's
problems as: 1) the Board's composition, 2) taxes are not raised unilaterally but under the
authority of the County Commission, and 3) the current Board is not in a favorable financial
position. Mr. Boucher informed that either the City of Cape Canaveral or the City of Cocoa
Beach would obtain a seat on the TICO Board. Mr. Boucher stated that to date he had not
been noticed regarding District Board appointments that validated a lack of
communication. Mr. Boucher stated that persons with an aviation background were better
qualified to sit on the Board. L
Mr. Morgan asked the City Manager for his recommendation. Mr. Boucher stated that
Commissioner Pritchard has a dilemma and he would like to change the existing
procedural process. Mr. Hoog questioned why the City of Titusville had greater
representation. Mr. Boucher replied that Titusville annexed two of the airports and stated
that that the Authority comprises the Merritt Island Airport, the TICO airport and Arthur -
Dunn Airport. Each facility shares in that tax base with an ad valorem of approximately
$185,000 per year. Mayor Pro Tem Petsos asked how as tax payers Cape Canaveral i
would benefit.
Due to the 10:00 P.M. hour, Mayor Randels asked if the Council desired to extend
the meeting for fifteen minutes. Council agreed by unanimous consent. i

Mr. Ken Rivard, introduced himself and rovid
p ed a brief autobiographical statement. He
stated that the TICO Airport Authority had been successfully acquiring large amounts of
grant funding. TICO Airport Authority decided to increase rents on airplane storage. Mr.
Rivard informed that a study proved that the increase was exorbitant. Mr. Rivard also
informed that refurbishing the Merritt Island hanger would save substantial funds. Mr.
Rivard related that Commissioner Pritchard is working with the pilots groups to rectify the
expenditure of taxpayer's money with no revenue. Mr. Rivard stated that the existing TICO
Airport Authority has three -year terms with no regulation. Currently, one member has the
authority to expend funds and he is not a property owner within Brevard County.
Mr. Rivard replied to Mr. Hoog that Commissioner Pritchard requests a letter from the City
stating agreement to be removed from the language; however he would still desire the
City's input on representative appointments. Commissioner Pritchard would like the
latitude to make an appointment from within taxing District 2. Mayor Randels informed that
the airport is currently in debt for $2.4 million on matching fund projects. Mayor Randels
also informed that the Merritt Island Airport has a budget of $485,000; Space Coast has a
budget of $567,000 and Arthur Dunne's budget is $213,000 for a collective budget of
$1,285,000 of which Brevard County taxpayers pay $183,000. Mayor Randels clarified that
the City is being asked to forfeit its representation. Mayor Pro Tem Petsos expressed that
he did not desire to relinquish representation. Mr. Rivard stated for clarity that the
Commissioner would have the authority to appoint a representative. Mayor Randels
reminded that that representative would come from either City of Cape Canaveral or City
of Cocoa Beach.
Mr. Boucher expressed that: 1) getting back into the communication loop is the first
priority and 2) establishing a procedure to remove representatives is also
important. The City Manager would contact the County Commissioner.
Mayor Randels asked if the Council chose to proceed with lighting for the north City
entrance sign that exceed the budgeted amount of the project by $600. Council agreed
unanimously to proceed and complete this project.
