ADVISES THE PUBLIC THAT: If a person decides to appeal any decision made by the Town 
Commission with respect to any matter considered at its meeting, he will need a record of 
the proceedings and that for such purpose, affected persons may need to insure that a verbatim

or admission into evidence of otherwise inadmissible or irrelevant evidence, nor does it authorize 
challenges or appeals not otherwise allowed by law.

PRESENTATION BY CHARLES NELSON, DIRECTOR, BREVARD COUNTY PARKS AND 
RECREATION  - DISCUSSION OF REFERENDUM ISSUES

Charles Nelson addressed the Town Commission regarding the referendum and stated that this referendum 
will benefit the Town by improving Flutie Park by installing improved lighting at the baseball and soccer fields.

Mr. Nelson advised that all of the projects will have citizen groups participating on committees and making 
the final designs and expenditures.  Mr. Nelson stated that Ponce Landing, further south of Melbourne Beach 
will have a major project, as well as the Groves Inlet property in Floridana Beach.  

Mr. Nelson reported that the Advisory Board decided to go forward with a grant program to the cities, with no 
matching funds.  The requirements will be that the funds will have to go to build recreational improvements or
improve existing recreational facilities and the facilities will be open to the public.  Mr. Nelson advised that the 
grant will be $75,000.

Mr. Nelson stated that by State Statue he needs a letter, approved by a majority vote of the Town Commission, 
to proceed with the bonding process, as required by State law.

Mayor Wille clarified that the County is requesting that the Town be part of the South Brevard Special Recreation 
District which allows the ad valorem assessment on property. 

Vice Mayor Remark asked if the "citizen's committee" is the same as the Town=s Parks Board?  Mr. Nelson 
stated that the Town does not have to create a committee, but the Flutie Field and Floridana Beach projects 
will both need a committee.

Mayor Wille opened the meeting for questions of Mr. Nelson.

Martin McDowell, 1404 Orange Street asked Mr. Nelson when the meetings between the community groups 
will take place?  Mr. Nelson replied that the committees will be formulated in January.  Mayor Wille requested 
that one or more of the Parks Board members be included on these committees.   Mayor Wille requested that 
the Town Clerk contact the Parks Board and see if any of the members would like to serve on the design process 
committee.  Commissioner Betten requested that the Town have more than one representative on these 
committees.

Mayor Wille requested Parks Board member Tom Macauley address a memorandum from the Board regarding 
these recreational facilities (copy attached).  Mayor Wille asked Mr. Macauley if the committees the County 
is proposing will fulfill the Parks Board=s request of the memorandum?  Mr. Macauley stated probably not 
because there are competing interests for the use of the fields for baseball, softball, soccer and tennis and 
these individual groups have their own ideas about what is needed.  Mr. Macauley stated that the Board 
would like to host a meeting of the athletic organizations and others to try to work out some common 
ground before we embark on the improvements.  Mr. Nelson advised that the County would be happy to 
have staff attend these meetings.  Mayor Wille asked Mr. Nelson if the County has any plans or ideas to 
resolve some of the recreation issues.   Mr. Nelson stated no, but, advised that the County will probably 
not be adding additional fields at these facilities.  

Sheryl Alberga, 406 Avenue A asked Mr. Nelson to reconsider the decision to demolish the Williams house 
because it is an old historical house, built in 1809 and was Melbourne Beach's first Town Hall.  Ms. Alberga 
stated that 800 people have signed a petition requesting that this building not be demolished and that it be 
fixed up to be used as a meeting hall.  Ms. Alberga noted that this building is located on the scenic highway 
and advised that the scenic highway program was developed to preserve, maintain, protect and enhance 
Florida's cultural, historical, archeological, recreational, natural and scenic resources.  Ms. Alberga asked 
that the County use some of the bond money for this area to restore the Williams house and advised that 
it is estimated to cost approximately $100,000 to do the restoration.  Ms. Alberga requested that the 
Williams house be kept in its current location.  Ms. Alberga requested that if the County cannot put 
money into the building, the Town could rent the property from the County and get the grant money to 
fix the building.  Ms. Alberga also suggested that the Town request money from the State to purchase 
property on Ocean Avenue and move the building here.  Ms. Alberga stated that no body wants the 
house to be demolished and requested that either the County or the Town do something to save it.  
Ms. Alberga presented the subject petitions to the Town Clerk.

Mr. Nelson stated that the County has been in the process for two (2) years to find someone to take the 
home and restore it.  Mr. Nelson advised that the difficulty the County has is that the County Commission 
has not taken a position that they want to do the restoration because the cost will be significant. Mr. Nelson 
stated that the new 18,000 square foot community center planned for the south county area reduces the 
need for this meeting room and advised that the County Commission hoped that a non-profit organization 
would undertake the restoration of this building.

VICE MAYOR REMARK MOVED, SECOND COMMISSIONER STACEY THAT THE TOWN COMMISSION 
APPROVE, CONSISTENT WITH SECTION 125.01(5)(a), FLORIDA STATUTES, THE CREATION OF THE 
SOUTH BREVARD SPECIAL RECREATION DISTRICT, WHICH SHALL INCLUDE THE INCORPORATED 
AREA OF THE TOWN OF MELBOURNE BEACH.  
VOTE: ALL AYES.  MOTION CARRIED.


PRESENTATION BY SCOTT HORLANDER, CARTER BURGESS - MODIFICATIONS TO 
STATE ROAD A1A

Mr. Horlander of Carter and Burgess came forward and advised that Carter and Burgess is required to obtain 
a permit from the Department of Environmental Protection to do some widening at the corner at the 3-way 
stop at Ocean Avenue and Atlantic Street.  Mr. Horlander stated that the stop signs will be removed to allow 
free flow traffic and the speed will be 15 miles per hour, with new signage and an arrow sign indicating a shape 
curve.  Mr. Horlander stated that the additional pavement to the curved area will require the permit from the 
State.  Mr. Horlander stated that as part of the permit package, he will need a letter from the Town stating 
that the Town is in support of the proposed work and the work does not violate any setback criteria.  Mr. 
Horlander advised that the cross walks will be removed at this intersection and placed near Orange Street 
with a sign indicating a crossing to the beach access at the Orange Street location.  Mr. Horlander stated 
that Mayor Wille had suggested, and he agreed to, adding some sidewalk on the north side of Ocean Avenue 
to complete the sidewalk near the grocery store area to the beach, which should encourage people to cross 
at the Orange Street location.  Mr. Horlander advised that the stop sign at the turn-around area will remain.

Commissioner Betten asked for measurements of added pavement for the curved area.  Mr. Horlander stated 
that will be a small amount of pavement, about 500 square feet.  

Mayor Wille asked Mr. Horlander to let the Town know when the project will begin and how long the 
project will take.  

VICE MAYOR REMARK MOVED, SECOND COMMISSIONER STACEY THAT THE TOWN FORWARD 
A LETTER TO MR. HORLANDER AS REQUIRED FOR THE PERMIT ISSUED BY THE DEPARTMENT 
OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION FOR THE PROJECT.  
VOTE: ALL AYES.  MOTION CARRIED.

Sandy Wilson, 410 Sunset Boulevard stated that he would like the Town Commission to consider his 
improvement idea to the 3-way stop intersection.  Mr. Wilson explained that with the flow of traffic as it 
will be in the future, the exit of Ocean Avenue Park will be on the turn of the road and people from the park 
will be trying to get out of the exit and others will be trying to turn left into the park.  Mr. Wilson advised that 
FDOT has agreed to look at his plan to close the entrance and exit at the park and reopen Atlantic Street 
into the park.  Mr. Wilson stated that his idea will make the intersection much safer and make the park 
locally accessible.  Mayor Wille asked Mr. Horlander if he has seen Mr. Wilson's plan?  Mr. Horlander 
advised that he has discussed the plan with Mr. Wilson.  Mayor Wille asked Mr. Horlander if he is 
comfortable with Carter and Burgess'  plan for the intersection and with the locations of the entrance 
and exit to the park from a safety standpoint?  Mr. Horlander stated that he is completely comfortable 
with the design that he has submitted.  The Town Commission thanked Mr. Wilson for his comments.

Mayor Wille asked Rochelle Lawandales to review the street print information for the crosswalks as 
supplied by Mr. Horlander and make a recommendation to the Town Commission.

PRESENTATION BY FRANK HARRIS LIBRARY CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISOR - UPDATE 
ON MELBOURNE BEACH PUBLIC LIBRARY

Mayor Wille reported that Mr. Harris was unable to attend the meeting, but left a set of plans of the library 
and they will be at Town Hall for anyone to review.  Mayor Wille reported that Mr. Harris advised that the 
construction for the library will not begin until the fall of 2001.


PRESENTATION BY AMY ADAMS, CAPE CANAVERAL SCIENTIFIC AND ROCHELLE 
LAWANDALES, LAWANDALES PLANNING AFFILIATES - UPDATE ON GRANTS

Amy Adams, Cape Canaveral Scientific reported originally the Town had approved her to submit six (6) grants 
and she ended up submitting five (5) and three (3) of these grants are going for two (2) cycles of the 
emergency management funding for two (2) years and the other two (2) grants are going for funding 
from St. Johns.  Ms. Adams advised she has spoked to Bill Kerr of St. Johns River Water Management 
District and asked the Commission to lobby for support of these grants.  Ms. Adams advised that the 
Town Commission was going to add a grant for the Pine Street/Driftwood Avenue drainage project, but, 
after a review and site visit with the Public Works Director, it was determined that this site is a maintenance 
problem and can be fixed withabout $15,000.  Ms. Adams suggested that the Town submit an application 
associated with the Indian River Lagoon license plate funds for $5,000 to $25,000 between February and March 
of 2001.  Ms. Adams advised that the 319 grant funds for the Anchor Key/Pelican Key will be coming in July 
and the Town will need to be ready to receive these funds.  Ms. Adams advised that Creech Engineering has 
a signed contract, but, will not start the work until the work is reimbursed.  Mayor Wille asked Ms. Adams 
if she was tasked to do the FIND grant for the pier?  Ms. Adams advised that she is not sure, but, has done 
many FIND grants and is familiar with them.  Ms. Adams stated that the FIND grant deadline is April 1st.  
Mayor Wille requested Ms. Adams to put together a proposal for the Town.  Ms. Adams advised that the 
stormwater master plan needs to go out for an RFP soon.  Mayor Wille confirmed with the Town Commission 
and Town Manager that, from the previous RFP process,  the Town has approved Cape Canaveral Scientific as 
the stormwater/environmental grants writer.  Ms. Adams advised that she will do the stormwater master plan grant.

Rochelle Lawandales, Lawandales Planning Affiliates reported that there are two (2) grant applications pending 
with the Department of Environmental Protection, one (1) for Loggerhead Preserve Park and one (1) for Ryckman 
Park Phase II, both have been through the review and ranking process, with final ranking pending in January to 
be forwarded to the legislature.  Ms. Lawandales advised that she is lobbying and encourage the Town 
Commission to do the same.  Ms. Lawandales advised that the grant for the Community Center renovations 
went to the State last week and it will be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Advisory Board on March 
19-21, 2001.  Ms. Lawandales reported that the grant request is for $80,000 and is a 50/50 match grant.   
Vice Mayor Remark asked if the Town can use the County referendum money for the match requirement 
for the FRDAP grants?  Ms. Lawandales stated that this is allowed.

SPECIAL MEETING AS WRITTEN.

II.     NON-SCHEDULED CITIZEN COMMENTS (3-MINUTE LIMIT, PLEASE) 

Victor Burke, 2104 Rosewood Drive commented that the wall constructed at 1803 Orange Street is way out 
of line with the setback of the existing home and is taller than it should be.  Mr. Burke stated that this type 
of construction should blend in with the neighborhood and not be as grotesque as this.  Mr. Burke commented 
that the Town should have an architect and landscaping advisory board.  

Seth Stark, Vice President, Melbourne Beach Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. thanked the Town Commission 
for their participation in the Children's Christmas Parade as well as the Police Department for their support, 
and thanked the participants of the parade.  Mr. Stark advised that 300 children participated in the parade this 
year and next year will mark the parade's 35th anniversary.

Ann Downing, 801 Pine Street commented that she came to discuss the William=s building and is interested 
in the historical aspect of this area.  Ms. Downing advised that she works at the Chamber of Commerce and 
worked on a brochure called the AHistorical Tour of Melbourne@ and advised that next year, there may be a 
brochure of this type for the Melbourne Beach area, but, the Chamber is waiting on funding.  Ms. Downing 
stated that she is joining the movement to save the Williams Building.  Ms. Downing advised that she would 
be interested in serving on an historical committee for the Town.    

Amy Adams, 202 Surf Road commented that if the Town and County are open to the idea of going for a grant 
for historical funds, Cape Canaveral Scientific could possibly work with the County to go after a grant to 
restore the Williams Building.

Town Attorney Gougelman read Ordinance 2000-05 by title.  Mayor Wille asked the applicant to address 
the request.

Frank Kofflin, 202 Surf Road stated that he is one of the partners in this operation and advised that he has 
a 90 foot lot on First Avenue and it is bordered by 4RM zoned property to the East which is about 10 units, 
built with a zero lot line type construction and across the street to the North is 4RM zoned property and it 
extends to the West, the distance of the subject property, plus and additional 90 feet to the West.  Mr. 
Kofflin advised that he would like this entire parcel to be of the same zoning.  Mr. Kofflin referred to Town 
Code Section 7A-16(8), "where a district boundary divides a lot which was in single ownership on 
September 26, 1972, the Board of Adjustment may permit, as a special exception, the extension of 
the regulations for either portion of the lot not to exceed 30 feet beyond the district line into the remaining 
portion of the lot".  Mr. Kofflin advised that this is what he is requesting.  Mr. Kofflin stated that he believes 
this request would not set a precedent and allow others to go further into the residential zoning.  

Mr. Kofflin advised that if the Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezoning request are granted, he intends 
to build two (2) nice town homes of a medium size to blend into the area.  Mr. Kofflin advised that the 4RM 
zoning also allows single-family zoning.

Mayor Wille asked for questions from the Town Commission.  

Vice Mayor Remark asked if Lot 10 is a 50 foot wide lot and 20 feet will be left?  Mr. Kofflin stated that it is a
 60 foot wide lot and there is a house constructed on 2 of Lot 10 and Lot 9 and the house is positioned as such 
that they intended on leaving the 90 feet of property.  Vice Mayor Remark asked if this is already a split lot?  
Mr. Kofflin advised that the lot has been like this for a long time.  Mr. Kofflin stated that he believes that when 
the zoning was set, it appears that they went between lot lines and not ownership lines.  

Town Attorney Gougelman requested to give some background on this request as it is a unique application.  
Town Attorney Gougelman stated that there are actually four (4) different applications for this property, two (2) 
to the Town Commission, which were reviewed by the Local Planning Agency and two (2) will go to the Board 
of Adjustment.  The project was originally proposed to be a 3-unit facility, but the lot is in two (2) different 
planning and zoning districts and if it is combined into 1 district, the lot does not have enough frontage and 
a variance will be needed.  Town Attorney Gougelman stated that the density allows him to build 1.85 units, 
and he will need a variance for the density.

Attorney Gougelman advised that the applications before the Town Commission tonight are to put all of this 
property into the 4RM zoning district and amend the Comprehensive Plan.  Town Attorney Gougelman stated 
that the property has 90 feet of frontage with 60 feet being in the multi-family zoning and 30 fee single- family 
zoning.  Town Attorney Gougelman advised that the applications have been before the Planning and Zoning 
Board/Local Planning Agency and they have recommended against the Comprehensive Plan change and the 
zoning change and a number of people appeared in opposition of the requests.  

Mayor Wille asked that in light of a denial, what does that allow the applicant as far as utilization of his property?  
Town Attorney Gougelman advised that he will be able to build a house on the property and it will be a rather 
odd situation because the majority of the property will be in a multi-family planning district and a multi-family 
zoning district and he may be required to request a frontage variance to build a single-family residence.

Mayor Wille asked for comments from the public regarding the request.  Commissioner Smith requested that 
David Campbell of the Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency come forward to give his comments.

David Campbell, Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency member advised that what was clear at 
the meeting was that the residents want to keep this area low density and that the Town not set a precedent 
on zoning.  Mr. Campbell stated that the Town Attorney advised that this would not set a precedent on zoning 
unless there was another parcel of land exactly like it, and, the person across the street spoke up and he has 
the same situation, with a mixture of single-family and multi-family zoning, but, he plans to build a single-family 
home on his lots.  Mr. Campbell added that this property owner stated that if the Town makes a change he will 
request a change for his property.  Mr. Campbell advised that there are several lots similar to this at the street 
ends in this area.  

There being no further comment, Mayor Wille closed the public hearing for public comments.

Town Attorney Gougelman read Ordinance 2000-06 by title.  Frank Kofflin, 202 Surf Road advised that he has 
a piece of property with two (2) different zoning districts, and, apparently all the neighbors want a single-family 
residence built on it. Mr. Kofflin asked if he is to build to a the 3-RS zoning or the 4RM zoning or a combination 
of both?  Mr. Kofflin advised that he wants to get the zoning consistent on the entire 90 feet of lot frontage and 
asked that if he builds a single-family residence, can 60 feet of it 36 feet high and the rest of it 28 feet high?  

Mayor Wille asked Town Attorney Gougelman if Mr. Kofflin would be able to build a single-family residence on 
this property in light of a denial on Ordinance 2000-06?  Town Attorney Gougelman advised that he would have 
the opportunity to build a single-family home.  After a discussion, Town Attorney Gougelman advised that what 
can be built on this lot should be a determination of the Building Official.

Mayor Wille opened the public hearing for comments from the public regarding Ordinance 2000-06.

David Campbell, Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency member advised that the problem with the 
mixed zoning is a height differential, a lot width differential, a structure size differential, and significant others 
because the 4RM zoning requires that single family residences be built to the 1-RS zoning requirements.

panels are and come up with a landscape plan.
