AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA,
AMENDING CODE SECTION; 2 -234 PAYMENT OF IMPACT FEES BY AMENDING THE TIME
REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO PAYMENT FROM, AT THE TIME OF ISSUANCE OF THE
BUILDING PERMIT TO BEFORE THE ISSUANCE OF THE CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY;
PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR REPEAL; OF CONFLICTING

1 A motion was made by Mr. Morgan and seconded by Mr. Weber to adopt Ordinance No.
07 -2002 for second reading. Mayor Pro Tem Petsos referred to the second sentence in
1 , c
section one. Attorney McQuagge reviewed the sentence in question and recommended to
delete the second sentence in its entirety. Mayor Randels clarified that the desire of the
Council is to delete the second sentence of Section One, Section 2 -234, Paragraph (b)
that read, "No building-permit certificate of occupancy shall be issued for any structure
subject to the impact fees imposed by this division, unless and until all applicable impact
fees have been received for such structure." Mayor Randels questioned if a Certificate of
Occupancy (CO) could be issued on one building before the other two are completed.
Attorney McQuagge related that Mr. Reid had previously stated that the address is the
validation for issuing the CO. Mayor Randels then asked if every apartment building or
condominium unit had its own address. Attorney McQuagge replied that these would be
sub - addresses to the main street address. Chief Sargeant responded to Mayor Randels
that the Flores uses sub - addresses. Mr. Weber inquired about the cost of the CO in
relationship to the cost of the entire project. Mayor Pro Tem Petsos replied that the cost is
paid on the portion on which the CO is being issued. Mr. Nicholas advised toward clear
language and not leave the Building Official subject to any argument by a developer.
Mayor Randels read the intended language. Mr. Nicholas asked if the language is "at the
time of or "prior to" the issuance of a CO. Council agreed by a majority that "at the time of'
is the desired language.
An amendment to the main motion was made by Mr. Weber and seconded by Mr.
Treverton, to delete Section 2, 2 -234, Paragraph (b), "No building- permit certificate of
occupancy shall be issued for any structure subject to the impact fees imposed by this
division, unless and until all applicable impact fees have been received for such structure."

Chief Sargeant inquired about the terms of payment to acquire a CO. Attorney
McQuagge replied that the ordinance does not specify. Mayor Randels read from
1 previous year's minutes that provided background on the history of impact fee payments
and he related that the County does receive impact fees computed prior to the issuance
of a CO for construction pursuant to a building permit. Mr. Treverton suggested that the
I language, "all impact fees shall be paid with certified funds." Attorney McQuagge replied
that the City could request the type of payment, but he was unable to answer at this
time He would provide a definitive answer at the next scheduled Council meeting.

4. Motion to Adopt Ordinance No 08 -2002; Amending Code Section 78 -122,
Payment of Sewer Impact Fees, for second reading.
Mayor Randels read Ordinance No 08 -2002 by title.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA,
j AMENDING CODE SECTION; 78 -122 PAYMENT OF SEWER RATE ASSESSMENT BY
i C AMENDING THE TIME REQUIREMENT FOR PAYMENT OF THE SEWER ASSESSMENT FROM
PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE SEWER PERMIT TO PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE
CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR REPEAL
OF CONFLICTING ORDINANCES; AND PROVIDNG FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
1 A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Petsos and seconded by Mr. Morgan to adopt
Ordinance No 08 -2002 at first reading. Mr. Randels referred to language in the second
I sentence that seemed unclear and which read, "Except as provided in Section 78 -34, a
building permit certificate of occupancy shall not be issued unless a sewer permit has
been first obtained. He reasoned that a person could not acquire a sewer permit until
impact fees are paid. Mr. Boucher replied that there is an actual sewer permit and impact
fees are paid when a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) is issued. A sewer permit is needed to
attach to the sewer main. Mr. Boucher stated that the sewer permit is a $25.00 tap fee.
Mayor Pro Tem Petsos inquired about the language in that "prior to" is used in the
ordinance title and body and he suggested a change to "at the time of issuance of a CO
as in the previous ordinance. Mayor Randels clarified that "at the time of' is the intended
language before the words "the issuance of the certificate of occupancy."
An amendment to the main motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Petsos and seconded by
Mr. Morgan to change the first line of the indented paragraph in Section 78-122 to read,
"The assessments as set forth in this division shall be payable at the time of issuance of a
certificate of occupancy, except as provided in Sections 78 -123. The vote on the main

motion carried 5 -0 with voting as follows: Mr. Morgan, For; Mayor Pro Tem Petsos, For,
Mayor Randels, For; Mr. Treverton, For; and Mr. Weber, For
Mr. Weber asked if the sewer main needed to be connected to the applicant's property.
Mr. Morgan replied that if the sewer main lies further than 150 feet the City would allow for
an emergency septic tank until a closer main is established due to the cost factor. Mayor
Randels said that Purcell's Carpeting and Long Point Road are examples. Mr. Morgan
related that the City placed a line in the Long Point Road area once the saturation point
was met. Mr. Weber inquired about the subsequent language in that a CO is not issued
until the fee is paid therefore verbiage assessing a late fee is not required. Mayor Randels
I replied that this language addresses those using septic tanks that are not new construction
such as on Oak Lane. Mr. Boucher recommended the language "for such new
1 construction" after certificate of occupancy in the first line of the indented section under,
Section 1, Section 78 -122. Mayor Randels stated that this additional change would clarify
the main motion to read, "The assessments as set forth in this division shall be payable at
the time of issuance of a certificate of occupancy for such new construction, except as
provided in sections 78 -123."
Mr. Nicholas asked at what point in time does the builder obtain a reserve on sewer
capacity. Mr. Morgan replied that capacity is committed at the issuance of the building
1 c
permit. Mr. Nicholas questioned what happens if a permit is issued and construction is not
completed. Mr. Morgan replied that once the building permit is issued then that capacity is
committed, however when the building permit is taken away then the capacity is returned
4
to the system. Mr. Boucher explained that concurrency is determined prior to issuing a
building permit. Mr. Boucher stated that there are deadlines in the concurrency chapter if
action is not taken on a permit. Mayor Randels restated the previous discussion for the
City Attorney who had left the dais. Mr. Treverton stated that capacity is a tangible element
' that the developer receives and with a change to the ordinance they are allowed to
reserve capacity at the cost of a building permit.
Mr. Morgan replied that as the City reaches capacity, the ordinance might need amending.
Mayor Randels related that 75 percent of capacity is the allowable amount. Mr. Boucher
explained that the City would need to show the Department of Environmental Protection its
land use and build out with a comparison of build out versus sewer plant capacity. Mr.
Morgan questioned a potential conflict of interest in that he might have a benefit from this
ordinance and he requested to abstain from voting. Attorney McQuagge responded that
the question is if a benefit would occur for Mr. Morgan in the reservation of capacity and
does it convey into a financial benefit. Mr. Morgan stated that it would if the City were
closer to capacity. Attorney McQuagge then replied that if that were the case then the
potential for a financial gain to Mr. Morgan could place him in the situation of having a
voting conflict. Attorney McQuagge informed that the City is far from capacity at this point
however and that would not convey a financial benefit to Mr. Morgan or create a voting
conflict situation. Mr. Morgan stated that if the City Attorney saw differently as the process
, c evolves prior to the final reading that the City Attorney would make reply to his request.

DISCUSSION:
i
1 5. Brevard County Landscaping and Land Clearing Codes, Non - Native
1 Noxious Invasive Plants.
1
Mr. Boucher related the County's request for the Council to review the proposed
1 ordinance on Landscaping and Land Clearing Codes for Non - Native Noxious Invasive
Plants. Mr. Morgan asked if private property is included in this ordinance. Mr. Boucher
replied that the ordinance applies to new construction only Mayor Pro Tem Petsos
suggested that the County consider incorporating the City's plant list. Mr. Boucher read
subparagraph (X) from the County's ordinance that outlined the removal process and
designated locations. Mr. Morgan stated that any new homeowner might have a conflict
with such trees growing on adjacent existing property. Mayor Randels related that he
had promoted such an ordinance from Longboat Key in the year 2000. He stated that to
i C
eradicate the existing invasive plants is the next step in the process. Mayor Randels
concluded that the Council's desire is for the City Manager to relate to the County its
support of the ordinance and for the County to also consider the City's plant list.
6. Brevard Branch Bust Projects, Sponsored by Project Impact.
Mayor Randels related that this is an effort to educate the public on preparing their
:, property for the upcoming hurricane season. Mr. Boucher reported that this is Project
1
Impact's first countywide effort and it includes corporate sponsor participation in a
hurricane awareness program for homeowners and business people to remove
potentially hazardous debris. He said that information would be made available for local
j residents through various promotional media. Mayor Pro Tem Petsos inquired about
staffs involvement in the copy and distribution process. Mr. Boucher said that
information would be made available at the Library, Recreation Center and City Hall and
that no mass mailing is required. Council agreed by majority to support the information
distribution effort. Mr. Morgan stated that the major danger is trees with heavier limbs,
not the palm trees. Mr. Treverton suggested that the Part-Time Code Enforcement
Officer make notes on what trees need attention. Mr. Weber commented on trimming
the trees in the Xeriscape Park. Staff will work toward a community project along with
i the Beautification Board and Keep Brevard Beautiful.
