“Yeah. Um, no, I would agree. I, and I don't know if this is even a possibility, but could live work be a use instead of a zoning district?”

“Okay. So in that area you're saying we can't, we don't have restaurants. So changing it all to a community commercial and then having live work as a use.”

“Thank you. No, I thought that was an excellent idea. I don't think we're limited, and Brad, you can correct me if I'm wrong, to either option one or option two. You said that we could do both. My question is with the bioswells, how are you going to calculate it? Does it have to meet the St. John's River water management criteria, or is it just based off of square footage?”

“Okay. If a developer chooses a low impact development, is there a credit that they are given, like a reduction in the impact fee?”

“And are we limiting the type of LID they can do by just saying bioswales and rain gardens? Or are there other options? Eric Green.”

“Thank you. Let's say this rezoning does go through. Are you opposed to taking the 50-unit condition off? Because you would still, for the R1B, you would still be able to build 35 units on your property.”

“Thank you. So the concept plan shows it's a worker, farmer, RV.”

“Yeah, just to speak to Member Stoeckle's point, and your point as well, I don't think it's fair for us to make decisions based off of hypotheticals. And like you said, and you said as well, if it goes to a developer, I mean, max units are 35 units. We have no control over that.”

“Thank you. Well, I love the idea of... doing a conservation easement and using that here in the city. So I have kind of two questions. One for staff, have we ever done anything like this? And then two for the applicant, how does that work? Do you purchase a property and then you put that into conservation easement? And if so, with the parcels that you're looking at, is there a way that the city would have a say in it? Because as you know, we have issues with flooding. We would want to make sure that we could get kind of the best parcel that could help us mitigate some of that. So, Brad, have…”

“Thank you. I agree with the 23 acres with the uplands to preserve those. I do have a question, and I'm sorry, this might be a very basic question, but if say you purchase a piece of property, did you say that the airport would own that property? Or who would own the property that you purchase?”
City Council · Sep 22, 2026

“And let's, let's say that the down the road, the, that property gets developed, then would they use those wetlands that are in conservation as part of or would they have to go ahead and buy additional wetland like mitigation? Do you understand kind of where I'm going there?”

“I have a question. Is it beneficial to change the uplands into stormwater ponds?”
City Council · Sep 22, 2026
- Play at 2:50:22
“I wouldn't think so because you talked about the uplands and then the quality of those uplands. So it almost seems counterproductive to turn them into stormwater ponds.”

“Yeah, that was going to be my thing is just to come back and help us find out what's the best conservation easement that would benefit the city the most, as Member Nelson was saying.”

“Yeah, I like what you're saying, Sarah, because I think it would be easier if we have, let's say, six that we break it up and say, these are my two that I'm going to research, that I'm going to get the stories for, because a lot of these will help with flooding. And, I mean, those are real situations that we have. Instead of when we go to Tallahassee, we know a little bit about all six of them, but to break it up, I think, would be really helpful and tag-team it.”

“Thank you. Um If I remember correctly, this wasn't approved by the Brevard County commissioners. So could you kind of give us a reason why? And then I don't know if you have a rebuttal to the reasons they gave you as to why they denied it.”

“Who are the good players? I mean, you're saying these are the good players, but who are the bad players?”

“Member Moscoso. Is the financing based on credit?”
City Council · Sep 22, 2026
- Play at 3:34:09
“For me, I mean, it sounds attractive for people who can't get traditional financing. But kind of just looking at the numbers, I was reading that you can get 20% of the property's value. So let's say you have a $400,000 house, you could possibly get up to $80,000 in And then just looking at the interest rate, your presentation said 8 to 9%, but then your website says 6 to 12.99%. And so that's a huge difference if you're talking about perhaps an $80,000 loan. And so for me, that's concerning. I kind of agree with what Member Nelson was saying. People might not understand exactly what they're…”

“What if you get it when you're 55 and you're, you know, you quit working at 60. And so at 55, you could actually pay it back. But at 60, you're really struggling. And then now you're stuck and this is tied to your property. You can't sell it. In most cases, it looks like I think you have to talk to your mortgage lender. But in most cases, you have to get approval before you can. You have to pay it off. Correct.”

“Yes, I was going to say the exact same thing with metrics because I end up getting caught in the middle because I try to tell people this is the method you do to report it. And they report it and then they don't hear anything from anyone. And so they know if they come to me, we can get a response. And I don't feel like that's healthy either. And so I would like to see what we have right now and then the metrics on that. So what is actually being reported in? How often is it being responded to and taken care of? And I think we live in a world where everyone wants an instant response. And so…”

“Sorry, and this is for the specifically for the boil water notice when I lived in Seminole County, they would have, like, marquees in the area. So if there was a boil water notice, you would have, like, a big sign, like a flashing sign. I think the police police department has those. I don't know what it's called, but it's like if there's traffic, you'll say like this lane is blocked. And so they would actually put it out in the area where there is a boil water notice. And that was just another way to communicate. I do think like just sending out text for things like this is helpful as well.…”

“Yeah, I think you've done everything that you said you were going to do, which is not always the case. Sometimes we get promised things and that doesn't happen. But thank you so much. I mean, you've exceeded all of my expectations as a city attorney. You've done an amazing job. You've given wonderful advice. The only thing I would ask is. I think there could be sometimes legal issues going on in the city that we might not be aware of. And oftentimes I've noticed some residents will try to get you to say things or and so just to be aware of what those issues are so that we're also careful with…”

“That's good to me. I'll just go ahead and read mine. Under the financial management, kind of like everyone was saying, and I'll just preface this as I was the one vote not for you, but I'm so thankful for you. So I'm glad that I've had this opportunity to work with you. But the fact that we've reached the lowest millage rate in 18 years, I think that is huge and that's a significant accomplishment. I think At the same time, the internal audit brought forward some practices to light that needed to be improved and that have financial implications for the city. But I do believe that you're…”
