A. PUBLIC HEARINGS

10.A.1.  
Public Hearing to Consider an Ordinance Establishing the LP Community  
Development District- LEGISLATIVE  
Recommended Action:  
The County Attorney’s Office recommends that after the public hearing the Board  
vote to approve the draft ordinance and Petition to Establishing the LP  
Community Development District  
Attachments: Staff Report  
Petition to Establish LP CDD  
LP Administrative Approval  
DRAFT Ordinance CDD- LP  
Affidavit of Publication - Liberty Park CDD  
County Attorney Dylan Reingold referred to staff’s memo dated October 5,  
2022, as he recapped the Liberty Park Community Development District (CDD)  
Petition submitted to the County. County staff and the County Attorney's office  
believed the submitted Petition satisfied the criteria contained in Florida Statute  
190.005, as well as in the County’s recently-adopted CDD guidelines. Attorney  
Reingold read the recommendation to approve the establishment of a CDD to  
fund Liberty Park’s development, a multi-use project spanning 502.47 acres.  
Commissioner Laura Moss raised concerns regarding the comprehensiveness of  
the traffic impact study which was completed in 2008. Community Development  
Director Phil Matson informed the traffic study went through a robust concurrency  
process which considered all 913 planned homes. Director Matson and Attorney  
Reingold reiterated this hearing was intended to approve the CDD funding  
mechanism only, noting the developer had the right to move forward with Liberty  
Park as previously approved regardless of CDD approval.  
Further discussion was had between Commissioner Moss, Director Matson, and  
County Administrator Jason Brown regarding the development process.  
Commissioner Susan Adams provided clarification regarding the safeguards and  
concerns which had been addressed in 2008. She concluded that this Petition  
checked all the required boxes for CDD establishment and requested to focus on  
the CDD funding mechanism so the project could move forward.  
The Chairman opened the floor for public discussion.  
Ed Dodd, Sebastian City Council (the City), referenced a letter the City sent to  
the county questioning whether the CDD or the county would fund improvements  
to the intersection of Schumann Drive and Barber Street. Chairman O’Bryan  
recommended having the City send a letter to the MPO requesting this issue  
remain on the front burner.  
Andrew Kennedy, Proctor Kennedy Properties, utilized a PowerPoint  
presentation to detail the approved Liberty Park development and the planned  
infrastructure. It also outlined CDD reporting requirements, establishment criteria,  
and the benefits and protections for the County.  
Attorney Jonathan Johnson, Kutak Rock LLP, presented the benefits and limits of  
a CDD-funded development versus a privately funded one.  
Chairman O’Bryan questioned if the $76 million of infrastructure improvements  
were to be funded entirely through the CDD. Mr. Johnson stated it would be  
determined in consultation with the capital markets and advisors in the District.  
The Chairman then requested prioritization of obtaining promised conservation  
easements, planned intersection improvements, and to have the planned park  
moved from Phase 3 to Phase 1 of development.  
[Clerk’s Note: At this time, the Chairman announced that the Public Hearing  
would continue following the Time Certain 10:30 a.m. Attorney-Client Session.  
The Board reconvened in Chambers at 11:56 a.m. Chairman O’Bryan closed the  
Attorney-Client Session and reopened the regular Board meeting by continuing  
the public hearing.]  
Mr. Johnson responded to Chairman O’Bryan’s previous comments noting that  
obtaining conservation easements were already required prior to the final plat  
approval for Phase one. He could not commit to amending the order of the  
development process at this time.  
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Flescher, Commissioner Earman,  
Chairman O’Bryan, and Mr. Johnson regarding the ball fields and parks.  
Chairman O’Bryan stated his position was to deny approval of the CDD unless  
the developer could provide assurance that the plans would be fully realized.  
Administrator Brown agreed this was an unusual process, but requested the focus  
remain on whether the development met all the guidelines set forth for CDD  
approval.  
Commissioner Adams sought and received clarification from Ryan Sweeney,  
Director of Current Development, regarding the funding process and how it  
affected the phases of development. Mr. Sweeney advised there were several  
steps along the way with built-in checks to ensure developer accountability. The  
Commissioner cited the Greenways connection as one of the outstanding benefits  
of the plan, and voiced her support for approval of the CDD; she noted that none  
of the desired community amenities would come to fruition if the project could not  
get started.  
Joe Paladin, President, Black Swan Consulting, expressed support for CDD  
approval, noting that the project “checked all the required boxes” and would spur  
new development.  
Richard Bialosky, Developer and Architect, supported Liberty Park as a good  
example of a new kind of development and supported allowing financing through  
a CDD.  
Bill Rigby, President, West Wabasso Progressive Civic Club, received  
confirmation that Community Development Block Grants were for the  
improvement of an existing community. He expressed frustration that the  
developers were not doing enough to improve the Wabasso neighborhood, with  
Administrator Brown offering a list of planned community enhancements in  
rebuttal. Mr. Rigby and Attorney Reingold entered into discussion regarding state  
statutes, County Attorney Reingold stated there were no representatives from the  
Florida Land and Water Adjudicatory Commission (FLWAC) at the hearing, that  
FLWAC approval was not needed for this size development, and that Florida  
Statute Sections 380, 190, and 120 were not relevant to this public hearing.  
Donald Proctor, Developer, spoke in support of the quality of the team behind the  
development.  
Mr. Kennedy returned to thank the Board and staff for their consideration.  
There being no further speakers, the Chairman closed the public hearing.  
The Commissioners made their final comments.  
Commissioner Moss posited the effect of establishing a government entity in the  
form of a CDD was of utmost importance to the public. She expressed agreement  
with Chairman O’Bryan’s request, and revisited her doubts regarding the impact  
of traffic.  
Commissioner Adams thought it inappropriate to negotiate details of the approved  
development during this public hearing. She supported Liberty Park’s plans,  
noting that this large-scale planning was the direction the County should be  
moving in according to its Visioning plan.  
Commissioner Flescher reiterated that the Board’s purpose today was to  
consider the appropriateness of adding a financing tool for developers in the form  
of a CDD. Additionally, he addressed the problem of affordable housing, and  
how a CDD could help lower the barrier to homeownership and provide  
family-friendly amenities.  
Vice Chairman Earman advocated for quality growth beyond cookie-cutter  
subdivisions. He spoke of the development team which was respected in the  
community and stated his support of approving the Petition for CDD  
establishment.  
Chairman O’Bryan expressed concern that the CDD would not have  
accountability regarding how the funds would be spent. He noted that the cost for  
amenities and improvements was not included in the construction budget, and  
again expressed skepticism about whether all the plans would be actualized. The  
Chairman also expressed concern that homeowners would not be properly  
educated regarding the ramifications of a CDD and the financial commitment  
involved. He restated his opposition without more concreted assurances from the  
developer regarding his requests.  
A motion was made by Commissioner Adams, seconded by Commissioner  
Flescher, to approve the establishment of the LP Community Development  
District and adopt Ordinance 2022-012, establishing the LP Community  
Development District pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes; providing a  
title; providing findings; creating and naming the district; describing the  
external boundaries of the district; describing the functions and powers of the  
district; designating five persons to serve as the initial members of the  
district's board of supervisors; providing a severability clause, and providing  
an effective date. The motion carried by the following vote:

the proposed houses. On August 16, 2022, the Board authorized staff to move  
forward with a revised RFP. He stated a bid was received from Habitat for  
Humanity to construct fourteen (14) single-family homes with an all-inclusive sales  
price of $206,449.00. On October 3, 2022, the selection committee reviewed  
the proposal and recommended the Board approve the project and award it to

Recommendation for Mandatory Connections  
Recommended Action:  
Staff recommends the Board of County Commissions instruct the Indian River  
County Department of Utility Services work with the County Attorney’s office,  
Budget Office and the Tax Collector’s Office to evaluate these options and bring  
forth proposed changes to County Code in accordance with the appropriate  
administrative procedures. Any proposed ordinance changes would be  
accompanied by a corresponding guidance document to assist staff and citizens  
with understanding the requirements  
Attachments: Staff Report  
Director of Utility Services, Sean Lieske brought before the Board a discussion  
item for mandatory sewer connections. He stated the Policy approved in  
November 2018, included a septic to sewer policy which had not been  
consistently enforced. Using a PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Lieske outlined the  
following recommendations to consider for further development: 1) Must connect  
within three (3) years of water/sewer becoming available; 2) in order to receive  
sewer service, homeowners must also connect to water; 3) set aside funding in  
each year’s budget to assist with low-income and disadvantaged homeowners; 4)  
cost of connections could be paid through the tax roll, with a 10-20 year payoff  
depending on the amount financed; and 5) require once connected to County  
water, households would not be allowed to return to well water.  
He stated no funding was needed at this time; however, if the County were to  
move forward with these proposals he anticipated funding for the proposed  
Sewer & Water Infrastructure Funding Tactic (SWIFT) program would come  
from optional sales tax.  
A lengthy discussion ensued between the Board and staff as the Commissioners  
voiced their concerns regarding the proposed recommendations for mandatory  
connections.  
Sebastian Vice Mayor Fred Jones spoke in support of mandatory connections.  
He commented it was important to get as many septic tanks off the river and  
throughout the city.  
It was the consensus of the board for staff to return to the Board with  
revisions to the proposed code changes and recommendations to encourage  
water and sewer connections.
