On July 18, 2022, RFP #22-P-052/LR was advertised for Consulting Services; however, there were no proposals received by the City in response to the RFP. On September 13, 2022, the City Council denied the staff's request to utilize the services of Barnes, Ferland, and Associates, Inc., Orlando, FL to review the potential impacts of the concrete recycling operation to groundwater and the Indian River Lagoon (stormwater).

In addition, the City Council approved incorporating an additional condition set forth by the applicant as stated in their supplemental report on pages 513-514 of the agenda packet and provided below:

The applicant shall conduct pH monitoring at the retention/storm water basin, either at the outfall to surface water if discharging or the pond water itself, in the locations shown on the attached aerial exhibit (the “Testing Location”), to determine potential changes in the pH of the water. Such monitoring shall be conducted within 8 hours of a qualified rain event consisting of 0.1-inch or greater (the “Rain Event”) at least once prior to commencement of any crushing and recycling activities on site to determine the current pH level at the Testing Location, and after operations commence, the applicant shall monitor the pH of the surface water one (1) time each calendar quarter (Jan-March, April-June, July-Sep, Oct-Dec) within 8 hours of a Rain Event during the lifespan of the operations. The field pH monitoring may be conducted in accordance with Method 150.2: pH, Continuous Monitoring (Electrometric) by pH Meter (https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2015-08/documents/method_150-2_1982.pdf). 

All field pH measurements pertinent to each Rain Event will be recorded in a field logbook or log sheet by the applicant. Each logbook record or log sheet should include identification of the pH meter (i.e., Manufacturer Make & Model) used and information documenting that pH meter has been calibrated, operated and maintained according to the manufacturer’s specifications. The applicant will retain copies of all the pH monitoring results for at least 3 years to be available for review by the City upon request. 

The applicant will provide the City with written copies of all monitoring Rain Event logs associated with a pH result of 8.5 or greater within 3 business days of obtaining the results. In the case of a monitoring Rain Event indicating a pH result of 8.5 or greater, the applicant agrees to conduct follow-up pH monitoring during the next two (2) qualified Rain Events that occur during normal staffing of the site to obtain additional information on pH conditions of the onsite Testing Location. The pH results for these follow-up monitoring Rain Events are also to be provided to the City within 3 business days of obtaining the results. 

In the event that the average pH of the Testing Location exceeds a pH of 9.0 for more than one (1) calendar quarter, the applicant will investigate the potential source(s) of the elevated pH in the surface water and within 30 days report this information to the City, including recommendations for corrective actions, if required. Any required corrective actions shall be promptly taken by the applicant. 

If the pH of the Testing Location exceeds 9.0 for greater than four (4) consecutive calendar quarters (i.e., 1 year), as a requirement of the Conditional Use Permit Approval, the applicant agrees to (1) Implementation of corrective actions required to reduce the average quarterly pH of the surface water to less than 9.0 or (2) Performance of a demonstration that the groundwater quality beneath the site is not adversely impacting offsite groundwater.

Advisability - Site Development Permit and Time Extensions – City Manager Larese advised that the request was to approve advisability for staff to reassess the time extensions for site development permits and make recommendation to City Council.

At the regular City Council meeting on September 27, 2022 at 6:30 p.m., Vice-Mayor Jordan requested that staff reviewed the process for site development permits to determine if time could be extended from one year to multiple years. 

Section 34-217 of the Code stated, “The site plan shall be valid for a period of twelve (12) months from the approval date, during which time application shall be made for the applicable building permit(s). Upon application of the required building permit, the timeframes related to the building permit shall govern.”

Subdivisions were specifically required to submit a sketch plat for approval by the City Council with recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Upon approval by Council, the subdivider had one year to apply for a preliminary plat [Sec 34-161]. A preliminary plat required the submittal consistent with that of a site plan. Further, the subdivider had one year to obtain final plat approval from the date of preliminary plat approval [Sec 34-172]. The subdivider was able to, prior to expiration of the preliminary plat, make application for an extension of time to file for final plat approval. Extensions could be granted administratively up to two (2) years or by Council for an additional two (2) years. The Code further stated that no extensions (from the Administrator and City Council) would be granted beyond a total of four (4) years.

Brevard County's Land Development Regulations stated that Site Plans expired three (3) years from the approval date. Construction permits were valid for 36 months from the date of approval of final engineering plans and preliminary plat. A final plat must be recorded prior to the 36 months expiration date of the final engineering and preliminary plat approval.

Community Development Director Brad Parrish reviewed the Land Development Regulations regarding the expiration of a sketch plat, preliminary plat, and site plan.

Vice-Mayor Jordan stated that one (1) year for a site plan permit was too short and he recommended extending the length of Titusville’s site plan permits from one (1) year to three (3) years, to match Brevard County’s code with extensions allowed.

Member Robinson stated the he had a responsibility to citizens, not necessarily the developers that came to Titusville. Member Robinson stated that the timeframes of the permits are known and extensions were available as the code was currently written. 

Member Stoeckel asked Community Development Director Brad Parrish if a lot of extensions were used and if he believed increasing the permit length was needed. Community Development Director Brad Parrish stated that a developer that allowed the site plan permit to expire without applying for an extension did not happen often, but it did happen occasionally. 

Member Nelson asked if staff sent out letters or reminders prior to the site permit expiring. Community Development Director Brad Parrish stated that when a site plan was approved, the developers received a letter from the City with the approval date and the information regarding the expiration. No reminders were sent from the City. 

Vice-Mayor Jordan stated that he believed having a procedure that allowed the developers and the planning department to both be successful with a three (3) year permit, instead of a one (1) year permit. 

Community Development Director Brad Parrish stated that there was a handful of requests for extensions given to developments for site plans in the past year. He referred to Sec. 34-172 of the Code that stated, “The Administrator may grant an extension of time up to two (2) years provided the Administrator has been shown good cause for the extension.” Community Development Director Brad Parrish stated that this section did not provide the Community Development Department with guidance on rather an extension should be approved or denied and he recommended adding criteria for staff to determine if they qualify for an extension. 

Vice-Mayor Jordan discussed adding a grace period that would allow them five (5) to ten (10) days after the permit expired to apply for an extension. 

Community Development Director Brad Parrish stated he would support changing the permit length to start at two (2) years for site plans to reduce the number of extensions staff would need to process. 

Stan Johnston stated that he was concerned with a site plan on the Indian River Lagoon in Titusville that had over ten years of extensions. 

Community Development Director Brad Parrish stated that he believed Mr. Johnston was referring to the Rio Lago that previously had a conditional use permit that has since expired. There was a site plan that was reviewed and denied. 

Council discussed allowing a site development permit approval be valid for two years versus one year, allowing a grace period, request for extension being considered by the City Council following the two year time frame, etc.  Staff would prepare an ordinance based on the discussions and bring back to a future meeting for Council’s consideration.   

Motion: Vice-Mayor Jordan moved to approve advisability for staff to reassess the time extensions for site development permits and make recommendation to City Council. Member Nelson seconded the motion. The roll call vote was:  

                                    Member Robinson                  Yes

Member Nelson                      Yes

Mayor Diesel                          Yes
