SO BEFORE I GET STARTED, I WANT TO SAY ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GIVE IS DISCLOSURES. I HAVE NO DISCLOSURES EXCEPT AM NOT A MORNING PERSON. AND SOMEONE IN MY HOUSEHOLD CONSIDERS ME NONESSENTIAL. SO LET'S MOVE ON FROM THERE.
THE COGNITIVE ROADMAP WAS OF IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT PARKLAND AND THE COLE SPRINGS BY DEPARTMENT. NOW BEING LITERALLY WORLD LEADERS IN SOME EMS SCIENTIFIC STUDIES.
WE ARE CLEARLY AT THE FOREFRONT AND, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY THE TEN LEADING AREAS IN THE WORLD THAT IS PRODUCING A LOT OF THE RESEARCH. -- FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND -- AND S. THEY WILL BE JOINING US PRETTY SOON. YOUR PRIMARY MEDICAL DIRECTOR.

[00:22:23]
COMING ACROSS -- I CAN GO ON AND ON.[00:22:29]
IN THE FUTURE, I'M SEEING WITH THE STUFF WE ARE GALORE -- DOING. ONE OF THE COOL THINGS WE ARE TELLING YOU ABOUT, IS NOT JUST THINGS LIKE THE WHOLE BLOOD BECAUSE WE FIGURE OUT A WAY OF GETTING ACROSS THE TYPING CRISES. IF YOU HAVE CERTAIN TOOLS AND USING CERTAIN THINGS THAT ARE A SECTION A COUPLE.WE CAN GET IT INTO THE HEART. AND IF YOU TOLD THE PERSON UP A LITTLE BIT AND WE HAVE INCREDIBLE RESULTS.
AND WE ARE HAVING PEOPLE WAKING UP WHILE THEY ARE IN CARDIAC ARREST. YOU WILL BE SEEING US BRING THAT TO YOU. WE PUBLISHED THE FIRST RESULTS ON THAT PAPER. AND WE ARE GOING TO THINK WHERE WE USED TO HAVE TRUCK.
WE WILL HAVE NEW DEVICES WHERE ANYONE, OPERATE.

>> JUST SENT MONEY. >> ASIDE FROM THAT.
>> JUST -- ACTUALLY, WHAT IS KIND OF COOL IS THAT IS OUR JOB MAYBE TO COMMUNICATE TO YOU. YOU PROBABLY DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS STUFF. RIGHT? HERE IS WHAT IS GOING ON. WHAT YOU ALSO -- I THINK WHAT YOU SHOULD TAKE AWAY FROM THIS IS THAT YOU KNOW HOW PEOPLE -- EVEN DISTRUSTFUL OF VACCINAIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
WE INDEPENDENTLY RESEARCHED THE RESULTS OF ANYBODY PRODUCTIONS.
FOR EXAMPLE, WITH NATIVE DISEASE AFTER VACCINATIONS.
A LOT OF STUFF WE ARE HEARING TODAY AND STUFF WE WERE DOING IT

OKAY. THEN WE WILL GO-TO COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSION. WE WILL START WITH COMMISSIONER
ALL RIGHT, SO I'M GOING TO START OFF WITH THIS.
TWO DAYS AGO, IN AN UNPROVOKED COMPLETELY OUT OF THE BLUE ACT OF VIOLENCE MY WIFE WAS ATTACKED BY A NINTH-GRADE GIRL IN HER CLASSROOM. SHE WAS GRABBED AND A CHOCOLATE AND PUNCHED REPEATEDLY AND BIT BY HER ASSAILANT.
[00:30:01]
SHE MANAGED WITH THE HELP OF SOME OF HER STUDENTS TO EXTRICATE THE PANIC BUTTON PROVIDED FOR EMERGENCIES.WITHIN SECONDS, TEACHERS FROM ADJOINING CLASSROOMS AND SECURITY WERE PRESENT TO CONTROL THE GIRL WHO IN HER WILD RAGE WAS ALSO STRIKING OUT AT OTHER STUDENTS.
SHE WAS ARRESTED AND ESCORTED OFF OF THE PREMISES.
BIRD OF THE INCIDENT, QUICKLY AND SPREAD BY SOCIAL MEDIA AND BY TV AND RADIO AND PRINT MEDIA. SHARON COME HOME AND BY THE END OF MY A NIGHT AND ALL DAY TUESDAY, SHE AND I RECEIVED HUNDREDS OF CALLS, E-MAILS, TEXTS, FACEBOOK MESSAGES, FLOWERS, FROM MY FAMILY, FROM OUR FRIENDS AND THIS AMAZING COMMUNITY. SHARON IS OKAY.
SHE WAS BRUISED AND BATTERED A BIT AND NEEDLESS TO SAY, SHOOK UP TO HER CORE ON THIS. AND CERTAINLY IN THE HEELS OF WHAT SHE HAS ALREADY BEEN THROUGH AS A RESULT OF WHAT HAPPENED BACK ON THEIR REPORT IN THE.
BUT SHE IS OKAY. SHE IS TOUGH AND SHE IS A DETERMINED WOMAN AND A WONDERFUL TEACHER.
SHE STAYED HOME YESTERDAY BUT TODAY DESPITE MANY OF HER FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES TELLING HER OTHERWISE, SHE WENT BACK TO SCHOOL. I ASKED HER WHY SHE DID NOT WANT TO TAKE MORE TIME OFF. AND WHAT SHE TOLD ME WAS THAT THE OTHER KIDS IN THAT CLASSROOM WERE ALSO TRAUMATIZED AND SHE SAID, I WANT TO BE AT THE SCHOOL TODAY WITH DA THE RETURN TO THE CLASSROOM. I WANT TO SHOW THE MEN TO TELL THEM THAT WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER AND TO THANK THEM FOR CARING PEOPLE. I CAN TELL YOU THAT STRENGTH AND PURGE MISSES ME AND THAT LOVE AND SUPPORT THAT SHE HAS FROM HER STUDENTS AND FOR HER STUDENTS IS IN THIS.
WHEN SHE GOT HOME TODAY FROM WORK, SHE TOLD ME THAT IN THAT PARTICULAR CLASS, WHEN SHE FIRST CAME INTO THE DOOR TO THE COBRA ONLY PROBABLY HALF OF THE STUDENTS IN THAT CLASS THAT WERE COMING IN TO THE FRONT DOOR AND SHE WAS CONCERNED THAT HALF OF HER CLASS DECIDED TO STAY HOME. BUT AS IT TURNED OUT, THERE WERE AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE CLASSROOM AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HER STUDENTS LIST TICKLE IN CLASS TODAY AND THEY BROUGHT HER FLOWERS AND THEY BROUGHT HER CHOCOLATES AND THEY MADE A HUGE SIGN WELCOMING HER BACK INTO THE CLASS.
AND SO IT GOES TO SHOW YOU THAT WE HAVE AN AMAZING COMMUNITY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, KIDS TO ADULTS ALIKE TO WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK THE MANY PEOPLE WHO REACHED OUT TO US OVER THE LAST COUPLEOF DAYS INCLUDING MANY OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM TONIGHT. YOU TO SHOWED US -- YOU SHOWED US HOW WONDERFUL AND LOVING YOU ARE AND WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THAT. TODAY AT 4:00 P.M. WE UNVEILED THE SIGN OUT IN FRONT OF THE CITY COMPLEX.
IT TURNS OUT IN 1982, THE CITY COMMISSION NAMED THE CITY HALL COMPLEX THAN LOCATED ON PORT SAID DRIVE THE BRUISED BE BLUNT, MUNICIPAL COMPLEX IN HIS HONOR. IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS WHEN IT WAS MOVED TO UNIVERSITY DRIVE WHERE WE ARE TODAY, THE CITY FOR SOME REASON FORGOT TO MOVE MR. GLEN PROPHESIED OVER THUS HIS NAME OF HONOR HAD BEEN FORGOTTEN. THAT WAS REMEDIED TODAY IN FRONT OF HIS CHILDREN WHO WERE HONORED AND WE WERE HONORED TO HAVE THEM PRESENT. I WANT TO THANK THEM FOR BEING HERE, ALONG WITH OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS AND TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT IT WAS BRUISED AND LOWEST BLOOD'S FORESIGHT AND CONTRIBUTIONS THAT STARTED A GREAT CITY AND BEING THE WONDERFUL PLACE TO THIS DAY AND WITH THAT, ONE LAST THING I WANT TO MENTION IS I GOT MY HAIRCUT. WE ARE LOOKING AT SOLDIER RUSH ON THAT WE CAN. AND I'M GOING TO BE THERE.
I DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU ARE STARTING, MR. MAYOR.
BUT I MIGHT BE ON YOUR HEELS. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COMMISSIONER CUTLER.
COMMISSIONER ISROW. >> THANK YOU GET THEIR UPPER PLEASE SEND ALL OF OUR LOVE AND CARE TO SHARE IN.
SHE IS THE DEFINITION OF WHAT PEOPLE PUT IN THEIR MINES MAN THE THING OF THE GREATEST TEACHERS THEY CAN IMAGINE.
SOMEONE PUTTING THEIR KIDS BEFORE EVEN HERSELF, THE ONE I THINK MOST PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE TIME OFF AND SLOWLY WORKED THEIR WAY INTO IT. IT IS INCREDIBLE.
SO KUDOS TO YOU COULD SHARE IN. WE ARE ALL THINKING ABOUT IT.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE TALKED ABOUT YOU KNOW, OUR FRIENDS AT THE CORAL SPRINGS-PART DEPARTMENT AT BSO WHO MADE THE PRESENTATION COMMISSION MEETING WITH OUR GOOD FRIEND AND THE REASON I SEE THAT IS BECAUSE WE TALK ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY AND WE TALK ABOUT SAFETY AND WE TALKED ABOUT SCHOOL, ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT MAKE PARKLAND THE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND PARKING TO BE AND WHAT MAKES IT SO GREAT. ASIDE FROM THAT, BEING, YOU KNOW, AWARD-WINNING, FIRE AND RESCUE WHICH IN AND OF ITSELF IS AN ACHIEVEMENT, ASIDE FROM WOULD STATE LAW ENFORCEMENT, I-
[00:35:01]
ORGANIZATIONS IN THE SAY THAT ARE -- AT OUR BECK AND CALL, IT GOES TO SHOW THAT THAT IS NOT ALL IT TAKES TO BE SAFE AND SECURE INTO HAVE GOOD COMMUNITY AND SCHOOL, YOU KNOW? IT TAKES PARENTS. IT TAKES ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT WE SOMETIMES TAKE FOR GRANTED AND I THINK THAT THAT YOU LOOK AT THE PEOPLE WE HIRE IN THESE ORGANIZATIONS ARE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING FOR US AND YES, WE SPENT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OUR CITY BUDGET ON LAW ENFORCEMENT FIRE AND SAFETY AS WE SHOULD AND I SEE WHY IT IS IMPORTANT FOR A COMMUNITY.ALSO, IT IS INCUMBENT UPON PARENTS AND INCUMBENT UPON THE FAMILIES WHO LIVE HERE TO ALSO TAKE SOME OF THESE INITIATIVES IN THEIR OWN HANDS AND I HOPE THAT, YOU KNOW, WHOEVER THE PARENTS ARE OF THE STUDENTS WHO ARE HAVING THESE ISSUES AT SCHOOL OR KNOW THAT THEY TAKE THE TEMPERATURE UNDERSTAND MAYBE WHAT IS GOING ON AND START ASKING YOUR KIDS QUESTIONS AND MAKING SURE TO CHECK IN ON THEM BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH LAW ENFORCEMENT TEACHERS AND FIRE RESCUE CAN DO.
IT IS THE REST OF US WHO REALLY HAVE THAT RESPONSIBILITY.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS CLEAR.
THE HALLOWEEN CELEBRATION FOR THE CITY, AMAZING JOB.
I THINK EACH EVENT IS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER.
I'M JUST THRILLED TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT WITH MY FAMILY.
MY KIDS HAD A GREAT TIME. THE SOLDIER RUSH, I'M ALSO LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. MAYOR, PLEASE DON'T LET US DOWN.
>> MAYOR RICH WALKER: ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER ISROW.
COMMISSIONER BRIER? >> THANK YOU, MAYOR.
I WANT TO ECO COMMISSIONER ISROW'S COMMENTS.
OBVIOUSLY THOSE WHO HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET SHARON CUTLER, NOT ONLY AN AMAZING EDUCATOR BUT A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING WHO IS DONE -- DOING HER. AND MORE IN MAKING OUR WORLD A BETTER PLACE SO WE GIVE HER LOVE AND SUPPORT AND HOPE THAT SHE AND HER CLASS AND THE YOUNG LADY INVOLVED ARE TAKING ALL THE STEPS NECESSARY TO MOVE FORWARD AND I HOPE THAT THAT YOUNG LADY INVOLVED GETS THE HELP THAT SHE NEEDS AS WELL.
THIS LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL TIME TO BE IN PARKLAND. WE HAD OUR PUMPKIN PATCH WHICH BRINGS ME BACK TO THE OLD DAYS OF PARKLAND, WHICH WAS WONDERFUL AND A GREAT FAMILY EVENT. WE HAD OUR HALLOWEEN FESTIVAL, WHICH WAS GREAT TO SEE ALL OF THE KIDS OUT THERE AND ALL OF THE COMMUNITY EVENTS THAT ONE ON.
IT IS GREAT TO SEE THEIR FAMILIES GET TOGETHER AND ALL OF THE KIDS. IT IS JUST A WONDERFUL TIME TO BE HERE. PROBABLY HAVE SOME GREAT EVENTS COMING UP. WE HAVE OUR FARMERS MARKET COMING BACK THIS WEEKEND, WHICH EVERYONE SHOULD BE EXCITED ABOUT. SOLDIER RUSH, AL BESTIE TONIGHT.
THEY ARE HAVING A FRIENDS OF THE FUNDRAISER.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CAN JOIN OR GET INVOLVED.
IT IS A GREAT ORGANIZATION AND THEN WE WILL ALSO HAVE I THINK THIS FRIDAY NIGHT IS THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE'S SUPER BOWL AND THEIR END OF THE YEAR OR END OF THE SEASON CELEBRATION.
SO IT IS JUST SOME BIT -- SO NICE TO BE IN IS HE IN IS HE DID THAT HAS SUCH AN ACTIVE PRESENCE WITH ALL OF THE FAMILIES INVOLVED AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE IN OUR CITY.
AND IT IS GREAT TO SEE EVERYONE OF.
SO I CONTINUE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR GETTING INVOLVED.
I THINK OUR CITY STAFF AND THE PARTS AND RECORD DEPARTMENT FOR PUTTING ON THESE EVENTS. KUDOS TO THEM.
THANK YOU. >> MAYOR RICH WALKER: THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER BRIER. VICE MAYOR MAYERSOHN.
>> BOB MAYERSOHN: THANK YOU, MAYOR.
FIRST BALL, I WANT TO I WANT TO ECO THE SAME SENTIMENTS AS MY COLLEAGUES TO YOU, KEN AND SHARON.
WE SEND OUR LOVE AND OUR SUPPORT THAT YOU AND SHARON.
SHARON IS AN AMAZING TEACHER AND WHAT SHE WENT THROUGH ON THE PRE-14TH AND EVEN AS YOU SAID, A COUPLE DAYS AGO BECAUSE SHE IS JUST A RESILIENT AND REMARKABLE PERSON AND YOU ARE LUCKY TO HAVE -- SHE IS LUCKY TO HAVE YOU, BUT YOU ARE LUCKY TO HAVE HER.
A COUPLE THINGS I WANT TO MENTION, I WILL PROBABLY ECHO THE SAME COMMENTS AS SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES.
BUT JUST TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW, ON OCTOBER 1ST, NEMA'S FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM OFFERED EQUITABLE AND RISK INFORMED RATES. THERE ARE NEW PREMIUMS AS A RESULT OF THE PROGRAM, NEW PRESENT METHODOLOGY, DELIVERY RATE, ACTUALLY SOUND, EQUITABLE, EASIER TO UNDERSTAND AND BETTER REFLECT THE INDIVIDUAL'S PROPERTY FLOOD RISK OF NEW POLICIES THAT WILL BE SOLD UNDER THE NEW METHODOLOGY AND SOME EXISTING POLICYHOLDERS WHO MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR IMMEDIATE PREMIUM DECREASES WHEN THEIR POLICIES RENEW.
I WANTED TO LET THE COMMUNITY KNOW THAT.
PUMPKIN PATCH, GREAT EVENT. GREAT TO HAVE IT BACK.
AND I THINK THERE WAS ONE RESIDENT THAT THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE AND THEY CAME BACK AND WE THINK HURT FOR BEING ON THE
[00:40:01]
HONOR SYSTEM. I HAVE BEEN TO WATCH THE A.D.A.WORKING GROUP. SOME OF THEIR COMMENTS.
I THINK THEY WERE VERY INTERESTING GROUP.
VERY THOUGHT-PROVOKING AND LOOKING FORWARD TO.
RESULTS AND THEIR WORK. WE HAD FOR THE RECORD AND OUR STORYBOOK LAST WEEK. LEADING TO THOSE KIDS AND I THINK WE ALL READ. IT WAS TRULY AMAZING KITTEN GARDENERS. THEY ARE FILLED WITH LOVE AND AFFECTION, HUGGING. GREAT TIMES.
THE CITY'S STORY WALK WAS ALSO A GREAT SUCCESS AND I THINK, IS IT JACKIE HERE? DID YOU GET? FOR ELAINE TODAY? DO KNOW? OKAY. DROPPING OFF, BECAUSE I KNOW WE DID NOT GET AT THEM. HE SAID HE WAS DROPPING OFF ABOUT 50 BUCKS. IF NOT TODAY, MAYBE TOMORROW.
BUT HE WILL DROP THOSE BOOKS OFF AND WE CAN USE THEM THROUGHOUT THE YEAR SO WE HAVE THEM. THE CITY CRETA EVENT WAS ANOTHER GREAT EVENT. AWARDED THE MAYOR TO DANCE ON STAGE WITH SOME OF THE GUYS. I DO WANT TO GIVE A SHOW GO TO RIVER GLADES THEIR FIRST ANNUAL BLUE BASH.
-- BOO BASH. IT WAS INCREDIBLE, EVERYONE GETTING BACK TO I GUESS THE SOCIALIZATION OF THE FAMILIES.
BUT JUST THE INCREDIBLE STRATEGIC PLANNING THAT THEY HAD CREATING IT, WORKING WITH VENDORS, WORKING WITH, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THE TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS.
THE PTA DID A FANTASTIC JOB AND I WANT TO CONGRATULATE THEM.
WE HAD LAST WEEK OUR JOINT DELEGATION WORKSHOP WITH THE BROWARD LEAGUE OF CITIES. A COUPLE THINGS THAT CAME UP, OBVIOUSLY, SOME, A VERY SIMILAR PLATFORM.
ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT CAME UP IS THE POWER OF ATTORNEY SCHOOL BOARD LOOKING TO GET AN AMENDMENT OR SUMMARY A BILL THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DISCRETIONARY MILLAGE RATE, OBVIOUSLY COULD USE IT UP FOR .5 MILL TO HAVE A MILK TO COVER THE COST OF SRO. I DON'T KNOW.
APPLICANT THAT WAS LAST YEAR, THEY TRIED TO DO THAT.
IT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL BE SUCCESSFUL THIS YEAR. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A POINT TO LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT. WE ALSO HAD OUR FIRST IN PERSON VERBIT LEAGUE GENERAL MEETING. MAYOR WALKER WAS THERE AND MYSELF. AND VICE MAYOR GAVE A VERY INSPIRING SPEECH ABOUT THE FUTURE OF BROWN COUNTY.% SO IT IS GOING TO BE HOPEFULLY KNOCK ON WOOD, HE WILL BECOME MAYOR OF BROWARD COUNTY AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.
FROM A LEGISLATIVE STANDPOINT, I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT TODAY, WHICH TAPIT ME IS KIND KIND OF HISTORIC TO SUM NATURE.
SB 224 WHICH IS REGULATING THE SMOKING IN PUBLIC PLACES, IT PASSED THE FIRST COMMITTEE STOP TODAY.
THE REASON I SAY IT IS HISTORIC IS THAT NORMALLY IN THE SENATOR'S ALL ACKNOWLEDGMENT NORMALLY, THEY HAVE CREATED BILLS TO WE EMPTIED LOCAL -- THIS BILL PREEMPTS STATE RULE.
THE INTENT IS THAT LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES AND COUNTIES CAN THEN MAKE DECISIONS ON PUBLIC. AND -- PUBLIC.
AND PUBLIC BEACHES. IT FITS WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THEIR COMMUNITY. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE.
THEY SAID, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME.
SENT THE FLOWERS ON -- OUT. WE ARE SUPPORTING IT.
SO WAS VERY EXCITING, AT LEAST FOR ME.
MAYBE THEY ARE FINALLY LISTENING.
OPTIMISTIC, YES. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. AND THEN WENT LAST THING I WANT TO LEAVE BECAUSE WITH IS THAT THE PEPPER IS THE FAMILY COURT AWARENESS MONTH. THERE WAS AN INCIDENT IN 2021, A FOUR-YEAR-OLD WAS SHOT AND KILLED BY HIS BIOLOGICAL FATHER DURING AN APPROVED COURT VISIT DESPITE HIS FATHER'S ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR. THIS JUST BREAKS OUT FAMILY, IN THE, COURT AWARENESS MONTH AND RAISING AWARENESS, THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING ON FAMILY VIOLENCE, CHILDHOOD TRAUMA, ALL PROFESSIONALS WORKING WITHIN THE FAMILY. AND THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS.
>> MAYOR RICH WALKER: GREAT. THANK YOU VICE MAYOR.
AS USUAL, YOU GUYS TOUCHED ON MOST OF EVERYTHING BUT I THINK COMMISSIONER BRIER SAID IT BEST. WE HAVE HAD -- [CHUCKLES] OBVIOUSLY I CANNOT FORGET ABOUT -- I MEAN, TO HEAR THAT SHE BACK TO SCHOOL RIGHT AWAY AND THE REASON SHE DID IT SHOWS HER STRENGTH AND SUCH AN EXAMPLE TO
[00:45:01]
THE STUDENTS. SO, YOU KNOW, KUDOS TO HER AND I KNOW SHE IS A STRONG PERSON. SO SHE IS OBVIOUSLY GOING TO GET THROUGH IT. I KNOW IT IS DIFFICULT.BUT KUDOS TO BOTH OF YOU. BUT AS I WAS SAYING, COMMISSIONER BRIER BROUGHT UP ABOUT HOW LUCKY WE ARE TO LIVE IN THE CITY CALLED THE EVENTS THAT WE HAVE, AIR VENTS ARE AMAZING. THE PUMPKIN PATCH, THE ATTENDANCE, THOSE TWO EVENTS WITH ALL OF THE FAMILIES WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I HAD SENIOR NIGHT FOR MY FOR EQUAL REGIMEN ON FRIDAY. BUT I GOT DONE A LITTLE EARLY SO I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO THE HEA OVER TO THE TRICK-OR-TREAT AND IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE HOW MANY KIDS WERE THERE, DANCING, THE FAMILIES. IT WAS A SIGHT TO SEE.
WITH THE HOLIDAY SEASON COMING UP, IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE WE LOOK OUT FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND, YOU KNOW, CHECK IN ON ONE ANOTHER, MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS DOING GOOD.
AND, YOU KNOW, JUST LOOK OUT FO. SO THAT IS ALL THE COMMENTS THAT I HAVE. AND REGARDING SOLDIER RUSH ON SATURDAY, I, TOO, AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.
A LITTLE PRESSURE ON MY SOLDIER -- SHOULDERS BUT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE OPPORTUNITY. I WILL BE RUNNING AT 7:35 WITH THE MAYOR IN THE VICE MAYOR. LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT SO HOPEFULLY THEY SLEEP IN AND MY RACE GOES WELL.

WE PUT AN AREA FOR CONTRACTORS OR RESIDENTS ALIKE TO DROP OFF PERMITS. YOU GUYS WOULD PICK THEM UP, REVIEW THE PERMITS AND PEOPLE WOULD BE CALLED.
THEY WOULD PAY FOR THEM AND THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO COME PICK UP THOSE PERMITS WITHOUT HAVING TO ENTER INTO THE BUILDING.
IS THAT -- >> THAT IS CORRECT.
>> THIS WILL BE A PERMANENT STRUCTURE FOR THAT.
>> AND IT IS 20 FOREVER ACCESS NOW.
>> WHICH I THINK IS GREAT, AS A CONTRACTOR WHICH FILES FOR PERMITS, ALL THE TIME, THIS MAKES IT MUCH EASIER.
OR KNOW WE OR BREW CREW TOWARDS LUKE RHODES -- I KNOW WE ARE
WORKING TOWARDS ELECTRONIC. >> YOU CAN'T THAT IS CORRECT.
WE ARE DOING A PROCESS WHERE WE ARE CHANGING OUT OUR PERMIT IN SOFTWARE. PRETTY SHORTLY, WE WILL BE ABLE
TO DO ONLINE FULL SUBMISSIONS. >> OF RIGHT.
BUT KUDOS TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT AND EVERYONE WHO PUT THIS TOGETHER. YOU KNOW, TO ALLOW CONTRACTORS TO -- OR RESIDENTS, YOU KNOW, TO BE ABLE TO DROP OFF PERMITS WITHOUT INTERFERING WITH COVID AND NOW MAKING THIS A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO ALLOW CONTRACTORS OR RESIDENTS TO COME AT THEIR CONVENIENCE TO DROP OFF PERMITS. NOT EVERYBODY CAN ALWAYS MAKE IT IN BETWEEN PARTICULAR AVS. TO BE ABLE TO COME AND DROP IT OFF, PICKED UP, WHATEVER IT IS, IT MAKES IT MUCH EASIER FOR RESIDENTS AND CONTRACTORS AND THEN TO GO TO THE ELECTRONICS SUBMISSION IS A HUGE HOME RUN AND I KNOW A LOT OF CITIES HAVE STARTED ROLLING THAT OUT CERTAINLY WITH COVID AND THAT REALLY MAKES THAT MUCH MORE EFFICIENT, NOT JUST MORE BUSINESS OWNERS AND RESIDENTS BUT MAKES IT A LITTLE MORE EFFICIENT FOR US INSIDE THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT.
KUDOS TO YOU GUYS AND APPRECIATE ALL OF THAT WRECK GETTING THAT DONE. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. VICE MAYOR?
>> NOT NECESSARILY. ACTUALLY, A QUESTION.
ARE THERE ANY RECURRING MAINTENANCE COSTS ON THIS?
>> TO MY KNOWLEDGE, NO. >> ONCE IT IS DONE, IT IS LIKE
>> MAYOR RICH WALKER: THE OTHER THING IS, AS T THAT IS THAT THIS IS AN INNOVATION OF WHAT HAS COME OUT OF COVID.
THE IDEA OF 24 HOURS, THE EXPANSION OF THE COAT MAY BE OTHER AREAS, WITH THE FEDEX IS DROPPING SOMETHING OFF AND THEY CAN USE THAT KIOSK AS WELL AND THE OTHER POINT WHICH I THINK IS AN IMPORTANT POINT, BU WE DON'T HAVE PEOPLE COMING RANDOMLY IN
AND OUT OF THE BUILDING. >> THAT IS CORRECT.
>> I'M SUPPORTIVE OF IT ABSOLUTELY.
>> YES, VICE MAYOR, SOME ADDITIONAL ITEMS, WE ARE DESIGNING THAT KIOSK INITIALLY, WE WILL HAVE TWO LOCKERS WHICH WILL BE A TOTAL OF 41 BOXES AND THE WAY THE SYSTEM IS SET UP
[00:55:01]
THAT THERE WILL BE THREE WAYS THAT YOU CAN ACCESS THE LOCKER.THE SIMPLEST IS IF YOU DOWNLOAD THE APP ON YOUR PHONE AS YOU STEP OUT OF YOUR CAR AND WALKED OUT OF THE LOCKER.
YOUR ADORABLE ' OPEN. ONCE YOU CLOSE THE LOCKER, OR WHOEVER ASSIGNS THAT LOCKER TO YOU GETS AN E-MAIL THAT YOUR ITEM HAS BEEN DROPPED OFF OR PICKED UP.
THE ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGE TO THIS IS IT IS AROUND THE CLOCK.
IT COULD BE USED BY OTHER DEPARTMENTS IN THE CITY HALL, U.P.S. CAN USE IT, FEDEX CAN USE IT AND THEN IF IT BECOMES TO POINT THAT WE ARE USING ALL OF OUR LOCKERS, WE ARE DESIGNING THE KIOSK TO ADD A THIRD SET OF LOCKERS AND THEY CAN BE CONFIGURED IN ANY NUMBER OF WAYS FROM LIKE 70 LITTLE BOXES OR ESSENTIAL PAPERWORK. LARGE LOCKERS WHERE YOU CAN PUT DECENT SIZE PACKAGES IN. AND THE ONLY CONTINUING COST MIGHT BE OCCASIONAL SOFTWARE UPDATE, WHICH YOU KNOW, JUST HARDWIRED TO OUR DEPARTMENT. IT CONNECTS TO OUR EXISTING DATA
SYSTEM AND WE ARE DONE. >> MAYOR RICH WALKER: AWESOME.
>> COMMISSIONER ISROW. >> JORDAN ISROW: IN TERMS OF THE ELECTRONICS, WHAT IS THE HORIZON OF THAT PROJECT COMPARED TO THIS
PROJECT? >> WE EXPECT IT TO GO LIVE IN A PUBLIC AS OF THE OCTOBER 1ST, IF ANY CONTRACTOR WANTS TO SUBMITTED ITS MIDDLE, WE ARE REQUIRED TO ACCEPT IT.
WE DON'T HAVE A SET SYSTEM IN PLACE.
WE MAY HAVE TO THE COMFORT INTO A PDF THAT WE CAN SHARE AMONG STAFF MEMBERS OR THE MAY HAVE TO ACTUALLY PUT IT OUT SO THAT IT CAN BE PASSED AROUND AS HARD PAPER AND THEN DO THE PROCESS.
ANYTHING THAT IS SUBMITTED BY A CONTRACTOR OR AN OWNER BUILDER, IF THEY WANT TO SUBMIT IT ELECTRONICALLY, I'M REQUIRED BY
STATUTE TO ACCEPT IT. >> HAS THERE BEEN KIND OF POPULAR USAGE OF IT, ARE PEOPLE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE
SUBMISSION? >> MAN AND LITTLE THINGS.
A SINGLE DISCIPLINED PERMITS, WE HAVE BEEN ACCEPTING SIMPLE PERMITS SUCH AS AC CHAINS OUT -- CHANGE OUTS, WATER HEATER SHE NOTES -- CHANGE OUTS. AND YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR BOX IN.
THOSE ARE EMERGENCY AFTER THE FACT PERMITS.
YOU H HAVE A 72 OF BUSINESS HOUS THREE WORKING DAYS TO PUT IN AN AFTER-THE-FACT PERMIT. IT IS ONLY A FINAL INSPECTION ANYWAY. WE HAVE BEEN DOING THAT FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS BUT WE HAVE JUST BEEN TRYING TO BRING ON THIS ELECTRONIC PERMITTING SINCE WE BOUGHT THIS SYSTEM WE HAVE NOW NINE YEARS AGO. WE HAVE BEEN PROMISED THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE'S ELECTRONIC AND STILL HAS NOT HAPPENED.
>> THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE SOFTWARE PROVIDER --
>> THE SOFTWARE PROVIDER, AND IT HAS CHANGED OWNERS.
THE ADVANTAGE IS IT IS ACTUALLY UNDER THE GOVERNMENT ENTITY.
THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE BUT BECAUSE IT IS A PUBLIC ENTITY.
AND THE OTHER -- BECAUSE IT IS A GOVERNMENT ENTITY, WE CAN JUST DO IT LOCAL AND IT IS A CONTINUING SERVICE CONTRACT WHICH RIT DIRECTLY -- DIRECTOR SIMPLY LOVES -- OUR I.T.
DIRECTOR SIMPLY LOVES. >> LICENSE FEE, I'D TAKE ED?
>> YES. >> WHAT IS THE COST OF THE
ANNUAL LICENSE? >> IT WILL BE ABOUT 30,000 A YEAR, WHICH IS ABOUT 20% LESS THAN WHAT WE ARE PAYING NOW.
>> THE REASON I ASK FOR THAT, I'M ALL FOR INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY. I JUST THINK, I'M ASKING MYSELF, IF SOMEONE HAS THE CAPABILITY OF USING THEIR CELL PHONE, WHAT IS
AND MORE AND MORE OF THESE PERMITS ARE -- WE HAVE STANDARDIZED FORMS FOR A LOT OF THIS STUFF.
YOU CAN JUST DOWNLOAD THE FORMS FROM OUR WEBSITES, FILL IT OUT, SUBMIT IT ELECTRONICALLY. NOW, FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, IF YOU DO PERMIT SOMETHING LIKE, SAY, YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR FRONT DOOR, WE ARE STILL GOING TO NEED PAPER OUT THERE BOTH FOR THE INSTALLER TO REFERENCE TO AND FOR US AS -- IF I SENT AN INSPECTOR OUT THERE THAT HE IS GOING TO WANT SOMETHING TO LOOK AT. IT WILL BE AVAILABLE ON HIS IPAD. BUT, YOU KNOW, LEAST FOR.
BE THE NEXT DECADE, THE GROUP WILL STILL BE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE MORE COMFORTABLE WITH PAPER.
>> OKAY. THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE, IS THERE ANY WAY TO RECRUIT SOME OF THIS COST? THIS COULD BE USED TO SIMILAR TO AMAZON.
IF YOU MADE THIS AVAILABLE FOR THE CITIZENS OF PARKLAND WHO MAY BE DON'T WANT THE PACKAGE DELIVERED TO THE BOOK HOW.
>> IT JUST SEEMS LIKE SO MUCH SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR WHAT I KIND OF CALLED MAILBOX, YOU KNOW?
[01:00:02]
AND WE WANT TO MAKE IT NICE AND PRETTY AND ALL OF THESE THINGS.BUT IF WE ARE ALREADY TRANSITIONING INTO THE ELECTRONIC FORMAT, I WANT TO SEE IF THERE'S A LESSER OPTION TO MAYBE, YOU KNOW, INVEST IN NOW THAT WE ARE NOT HAVING TO SPEND THE FULL AMOUNT UNTIL WE SEE WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS GOING TO ACTUALLY BE NEEDED IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS.
>> WELL, I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE.
AND AS I HAVE SAID, WHAT IS PROBABLY GOING TO HAPPEN IS ONCE THIS COMES ON AND WE REALIZED THAT IT ISN'T SUCH A CONVENIENCE FOR THE RESIDENTS, THAT THEY CAN PICK UP OR DROP OFF SENSITIVE DOCUMENTS AROUND-THE-CLOCK, OTHER WEEKENDS, I CAN PICTURE TWO YEARS FROM NOW WE DO SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THE LIBRARY. AND DROP-OFF -- DROP OFF.
RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE A DROP BOX. WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT IF YOU WERE ABLE TO DROP OFF YOUR BOOK AND LOOK AT A TIME STAMPED DELIVERY THAT, YOU KNOW, MR. ISROW DROPPED OFF THE BOOK THAT HE BORROWED FROM THE LIBRARY ON THIS DATING.
>> I THINK THAT WOULD BE VERTICAL BUT THE ONLY REASON I ASKED HIS QUESTION IS BECAUSE THE AUTOMATION EXPECTED TO ME IS KIND OF A CHAIR ON TOP BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MEETS THE BELLS AND WHISTLES. BUT I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT.
>> THE LOCKERS THEMSELVES -- EVEN IF WE DO THE THREE LOCKERS, IT IS ONLY ABOUT 20 GRAMS. THE REST OF IT IS DESIGNED OF THE KIOSK AND THE BUILDING OF THE KIOSK.
>> UNDERSTOOD. >> IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH GETTING THE SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES, THE LOCKERS ARE OUTDOOR LOCKERS.
WE COULD BUILD THE LETTERS NOW AND IF THE KIOSK IS SIX MONTHS DELAYED, THEY CAN STAND OUT DURING THAT WITH A MIX OF THE SIX MONTHS AND THEN THEY JUST EVENT THE CANOPY OVER IT.
>> ALL RIGHT. >> COMMISSIONER BRIER.
>> I HAVE A COUPLE COMMENTS. I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A LOT OF HARD WORK AND TRYING TO STREAMLINE AND MAKE THE PROCESS AS SMOOTH AND CONTINUOUS AS POSSIBLE WITH COVID AND I CAN TELL YOU, PROBABLY GET MORE COMPLAINTS THAN YOU COULD US.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT SPEAKING WITH A NUMBER OF CONTRACTORS AND HOMEOWNERS IN THE HOUSE MONTH OR TWO, THEY ARE HIGHLY COMPLEMENTARY OF PARKLAND'S BUILDING DEPARTMENT, ESPECIALLY IN COMPARISON TO THE OTHER MUNICIPALITIES IN BROWARD COUNTY. AND SO I THINK YOU GUYS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB. I THINK THIS IS YET ANOTHER INNOVATION THAT IS GOING TO BE EASIER.
I IMAGINE THAT WHILE WE MAY BE READY TO GO WITH THE SOFTWARE WORKING AND ONLINE SUBMISSION SYSTEMS WITH CONTRACTORS, THE HOMEOWNERS ARE NOT NECESSARILY READY AS OF YEAH OR MANY OF THEM
AREN'T THAT SOPHISTICATED. >> IT IS THE UNDER 40S VERSUS THAT OVTHE OVERFLOW DESPITE. HAS MY PEOPLE THAT THEY ARE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE ELECTRONIC LAND REVIEW.
BUT THE PEOPLE HAVE HARD OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, I'M TRYING TO GET YOUNGER PEOPLE IN THAT HAVE GROWN UP WITH COMPUTERS.
THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM BREAKING OFF AN IPAD, DOING ELECTRONIC PLAN REVIEW. TAKING PICTURES.
I HAVE A COUPLE OF DRONES FOR DOING INSPECTIONS AND IT IS MY YOUNG GUYS WHO USED TO DRONES BECAUSE MY OLD DRUMS ARE AFRAID
OF THEM. >> SIMEON BRIER: I THINK YOU HAVE RUN THE PROVISION FOR BEING VERY USER-FRIENDLY, VERY TESTED WITH IN TERMS OF STRICT STANDARDS BUT VERY USER-FRIENDLY IN TERMS OF COMMUNICATION. I THINK THAT IS A BENEFIT TO THE RESIDENCE. MISSION.
FILL US IN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SECURITY OF THESE BOXES AND
24/7 OUT IN THE OUTSIDE AREAS. >> YES.
>> ARE THEY GOING TO BE PUTTING SENSITIVE DOCUMENTS OR OTHER THINGS IN TOOK A? WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT FOR SECURITY PURPOSES? DO WE HAVE TO HAVE INVOLVEMENT WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, SECURITY CAMERAS?
WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THAT? >> WE WILL BE USING THE EXISTING BUILDING CAMERAS PROBABLY AUGMENTED WITH THE CAMERA AND THE KIOSK. THE SMART LOCKER, THE MASTER LOCKER HAS A VIDEO SCREEN AND A CAMERA.
IT TAKES A VIDEO AND OVERCOMES UP TO OVER A LOCKER AND THE LOCKERS ARE HEAVY-DUTY CONSTRUCTION.
THEY ARE PRIMARILY -- AND THEY ARE ONLY OPEN -- OPENABLE BY A COMBINATION. YOU CAN EITHER DO YOUR -- DOWNLOAD THE APP ON YOUR SMARTPHONE OR YOU CAN GO UP TO THE KIOSK AND KEY IN YOUR LOGIN OR YOU CAN SEND AN E-MAIL TO THE KIOSK AND IT WILL OPEN YOUR LOCKER FOR YOU.
SO IT BEATS ALL ACCESSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS.
I CONSIDER MONTH O'CLOCK AND WE CAN EVEN THINGS LIKE IF WE HAVE A PURCHASING, AN ARTIST PEOPLE LOOK AT THE BID IS DUE TO SAY,
[01:05:04]
AT 2:00 P.M. ON THURSDAY, THEY CAN DROP IT OFF INTO A LOCKED ROOM. IT IS TIME STAMPED AND MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBMITTAL. YOU KNOW, IF WE HAVE A PACKET BEING DELIVERED TO THE CITY CLERK AND THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE IS NOT OPEN AT THAT TIME, MAYBE TO COME BY AT 6:30 IN THE MORNING. WE HAVE IT TIME STAMPED.YOU HAVE AN OPTION OF LOGGING IN AND HAVING AN EMPTY LOCKER ASSIGNED TO YOU AND THEN YOU CAN THEN NOTIFY THE RECIPIENT OF THAT DOCUMENT. SO IT HAS A LOT OF BENEFITS.
>> AND WITH THE VIDEO THAT IS BEING CAPTURED, WHERE IS THAT GOING? IS THAT GOING INTERNALLY FOR THE -- DO WE KNOW WHERE THAT IS GOING?
>> I BELIEVE IT IS LIKE EACH TIME SOMEBODY ACCESSES THE LOCKER, THERE IS A 32ND LOOP THAT GETS SENT TO RECIPIENT OF THAT LOCKER. SO IF YOU DESIGN A LOCKER FOR SOMEONE TO DROP OFF SOMETHING, YOU WILL GET AN E-MAIL AND THERE WILL BE A LINK THAT YOU CAN ACCESS THE SHORT VIDEO SHOWING WHO ACTUALLY DROPPED OFF THE PACKAGE.
>> I HAVE ONE LESS QUESTION. DURING THE TRIAL EXPERIENCED DURING COVID, HOW MANY INSTANCES HAVE WE HAD OF DOCUMENTS GOING MISSING OR SOMEONE IS TAKING SOMETHING?
>> THERE HAS BEEN VERY FEW. MOSTLY WHAT HAPPENS IS WHAT WE HAVE NOW IS SORT OF HARDBOARD MAILBOX RECEPTACLE THAT WE ROLL OUT ON A CART IN THE MORNING AND THEN ROLL IT BACK OPEN AT NIGHT.
WE HAVE A DROP OFF LOCKER THAT IS OUTSIDE.
THAT IS THE FOR AROUND-THE-CLOCK AND WE RECOMMEND THAT PEOPLE PUT WHATEVER THEY PUT IN THERE IN A ZIPLOC BAGGIE BECAUSE IT IS NOT EXACTLY WATERPROOF. BUT IF THE MOST COMMON THINK WE HAVE IS WE MIGHT HAVE FIVE OUT THERE.
THE ROOFING CONTRACTOR WILL COME UP AND PULL OUT THE PERMITS AND TAKE HIS AND PUT THE PERMITS BACK IN THE WRONG BOX.
SO THEN THE CONTRACT WILL COME IN AND WILL CALL US AND SAY, I PAID FOR MY PERMIT BUT IT IS NOT OUT HERE.
WE FIND DEPARTMENT AND HAND IT TO THEM.
WITH THIS, IT ELIMINATES THAT THIS HAPPENS PROBABLY TWICE A DAY BECAUSE WE PICKED UP AND DROP-OFF PROBABLY 20 PERMITS A DAY. SO, 5% OF THE TIME THIS HAPPENS WE GET A MIXUP AND YEAH. SO THIS WILL ELIMINATE MOST OF
IS THERE ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS
AGENDA ITEM? >> MOTION TO APPROVE.
>> SECOND. >> MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER BRIER AT A SECOND BY VICE MAYOR MAYERSOHN.
>> I LOVE YOU GUYS, BUT I THINK THERE ARE LESSER EXPENSIVE ALTERNATIVES, SO I'M GOING TO GO NO.
LOW CUT. >> MAYOR RICH WALKER: IT PASSES

THIS WILL BE A FEMALE REQUIREMENT -- FEMA REQUIREMENT.
AS VICE MAYOR MAYERSOHN SAID, FEMA IS RECALCULATING FLOOD INSURANCE RATES AND EACH CATEGORY THAT I'M ABLE TO MOVE THE CITY UP IS AN AUTOMATIC 5% REDUCTION IN RESIDENCE FLOOD INSURANCE RATES.

WHATEVER YOU DECIDE THIS EVENING, EITHER PASS EVERYTHING OR UNFORTUNATELY EVERYTHING ELSE.
THANK YOU. SO WHO IS GOING TO PRESENT
[01:20:02]
>> MAYOR RICH WALKER: OKAY. >> GOOD EVENING MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION. I'M CAITLIN WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION. THE CITY COMMISSION WILL BE CONSIDERING A NUMBER OF REQUESTS FROM THE APPLICANT.
THESE WILL INCLUDE CERTAIN REGIONS OF THE REZONING REQUEST AND THE RELEASE OF THE AGE RESTRICTION AS WELL AS THE FIRST AND ONLY READINGS OF THAT SET MY VARIANCES AND PLAT APPLICATIONS AS SHOWN TO YOU ON THIS SLIDE HERE.
IN ADDITION TO THE PARCELS THAT ARE LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY, THAT PARCEL AND IS NOT IN THE CITY AT THIS TIME.
THEY ARE UNDERLING THE ANNEXATION PROCESS.
UNTIL THEN, IT IS STILL LOCATED ON THE UNINCORPORATED ELBERT COUNTY AND THEY HAVE LIMITED JURISDICTION ON THE PARCEL.
BASED ON THE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT AND ARE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT, BROWN COUNTY RETAINS APPROVAL AUTHORITY FOR THE SITE AS LONG AS IT REMAINS IN THE COUNTY AND DOES NOT -- INTO THE CITY. THE BURDEN OF PROOF IS ON THE APPLICANT TO DEMONSTRATE THAT ITS REQUEST SHOULD BE APPROVED.
AS WITH THE PAST MEETINGS, THE APPLICANT WILL BE SPEAKING IN A FEW MINUTES. I WANTED TO WALK THROUGH SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE OUR LAST HEARING.
THIS PLANT WAS NOT REALLY ON THE AGENDA, BUT IT WAS DISCUSSED.
SO SOME CHANGES WERE MADE. THESE INCLUDE THE REMOVAL OF FIVE LOTS ON THE PARCEL ITSELF, REDUCING THE TOTAL LOT COME FROM 210-INCH TO 205 THE ATTACHED UNITS.
EFFECTIVELY REDUCING THE DENSITY FROM 2.7 THREE-PEAT WILLING UNITS PER ACRE TO.-- THE APPLICANT IS DEDICATING 4 ACRES TO THE 60 FOR PARK PURPOSES. THEY HAVE ADDED PAPERS TO THE INTERSECTION AREAS AND FURTHER, THEY HAVE PRODUCED THE PROPOSED BLOOD COVERAGE FROM 60% TO 52%, STILL EXITING THE 35% MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE AND ASSISTING EACH OF THE VARIANCE.
THEY ELIMINATED TWO VARIANCE REQUESTS, BUT PERTAINING TO THE POOL AREA RELATING TO THE EDGE OF BOTH SUBJECT AND THE POOL DECK SETBACK. HERE.
THERE WE GO. HERE'S THE REVISED SITE PLAN AS THE EFFORT -- APPLICANT HAS IT HERE.
HERE IT IS FOR REFERENCE. WE WILL COME BACK TO IT IS AS WELL. AT THIS WAS INCLUDED IN ELITE AGENDA BACKUP AMENDMENT. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE SCOPE WE CAN GO BACK TO IT. THE APPLICANT IS ASKING FOR REZONING TO REFLECT THAT LAND USE OF OURS THREE FOR A MAXIMUM OF THREE UNITS PER ACRE. AS WITCHES NOTED, 2.67 UNITS PER ACRE AT THIS TIME. STAFF HAS MADE A TECHNICAL RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVES THE REZONING REQUEST BECAUSE IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USE DEFINITION, I HAVE HEARD THIS COMMISSION LOOKING REVIEW THE CRITERIA AND AS A MATTER OF A POLICY DECISION, ARRIVE AT A DIFFERENT FUNDING.
THE APPLICATION ITSELF IS DISPARATE, -- DIFFERENT, SEPARATE AND APART FROM THE VARIANCE REQUESTS.
THE APPLICANT IS NOT REQUESTING SIX VARIANCE AS OPPOSED TO THE EIGHT THAT WAS DISCUSSED AT THE PREVIOUS HEARING FOR.
THOSE WEREN'T NECESSARILY A MATTER OF CONSIDERATION.
AS A TECHNICAL POINT. IT IS A DEVIATION FROM REGULATIONS AND THE CODE FOR IT CONTAINS CRITERIA TO EVALUATE THESE REQUESTS LIKE THE REZONING FOR TYREEK AT THESE ARE POLITY -- POLICY DETERMINATIONS. STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE CRITERIA AND IS OF THE OPINION THAT THE VARIANCES CANNOT MEET THOSE STANDARD CRITERIA THAT ARE WITHIN OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. THE COMMISSION CAN MAKE IT A DIFFERENT FINDING AND THE APPLICANT WILL MAKE ITS PRESENTATION AND EXPLAINS HOW IT THINKS THESE CRITERIA HAS BEEN MET. SO IF ALL VARIANCES ARE APPROVED. THEN PLANS MEET THE TECHNICAL DEFINITION OF THE CODE. IF ALL OF THE VARIANCES ARE IMPROVED BECAUSE THE SITE PL PLN MEETS THE CODE.
SUBJECT TO A WHOLE HOST OF CONDITIONS.
SO AGAIN, JUST TO QUICKLY SUMMARIZE, THE SECOND READING, THE REZONING, THE READING OF THE REMOVAL OF THE AGE RESTRICTIONS, THE FIRST AND ONLY MEETING FOR THE SEGMENT PLAN AND THE PLAT APPROVAL. THAT WILL CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION. WE WILL TURN IT OVER TO THE APPLICANT TO MAKE ITS PRESENTATION AT THIS TIME.
>> MAYOR RICH WALKER: THANK YOU. MR. MOSKOWITZ.
>> THANK YOU, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION AND STAFF.
MICHAEL MATT WITKOS MICHAEL MOSKOWITZ.
AND WE -- OUR CONSULTANT, CLIENT, SO WE HAVE EVERYONE HERE
[01:25:05]
DECK AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE COMMISSION -- THAT THE COMMISSION MAY HAVE ALSO TWO POINTS OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE, LET ME THINK THIS COMMISSION AND STAFF FOR THE ACCOMMODATIONS MADE WITH REFERENCE TO THE THE SEATING AT THE TABLE.IT IS MUCH APPRECIATED AT THE SECOND POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE, IF I MAKE AT LET ME JUST SEND MY FAMILY'S BEST WISHES TO SHARON CUTLER, TO CUTLER FAMILY WHO I KNOW VERY WELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE TIME TO SPEAK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I WOULD SPEAK FOR A LONG TIME ABOUT THE RACE.
I HAVE FOR TEACHERS AND THE EDUCATION RECEIVED IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND HOW THIS IS MORTIFYING TO MYSELF AND SO I WISH HER WELL. AND NOW WITH THAT SAID, LET ME PROCEED AND THE PRESENTATION, MY PRESENTATION CERTAINLY WILL BE A LOT SHORTER THAN IT WAS LAST TIME.
WE ARE NOT LINKED TO GO TO THE HISTORY.
WE HAVE DONE THAT ENOUGH, IF YOU DON'T KNOW IT BY NOW, IT IS TO TREATMENT. THE FIRST SLIDE, IF WE MAY.
>> I'M SORRY. >> AND AGAIN, THIS IS JUST A GENERAL LOCATION SLIDE. YOU HAVE SEEN THIS NUMEROUS TIMES. THE MOST NORTHWEST SECTION OF BROWARD COUNTY AND THE 4.7-ACRE NORTHWESTERN SECTION OF ALL AND APPROXIMATELY 25 ACRES. 46 ACRES.
CAN PRESENT OF OVER 70 -- 75 ACRES IN TOTAL OF THE THREE PARCELS AND BORDERS ON THE CANAL TO THE NORTH OF THE EVERGLADES TO THE WEST. THE CATS INDUSTRIAL RECYCLING SITE TO THE EAST AND PARKLAND BAY TO THE SOUTH BUT.
IT HAS THE TWO TOWERS ONE TOWER ON THE GATOR ACRES SITE AND THE CANAL AS WE HAVE SEEN PICTURES LAST TIME AND THAT LIKE.
AND AS WE HAVE DISCUSSED, OBVIOUSLY THE THE LOCATION OF THE 300 PLUS FOOT TOWER ON THE GATOR ACRES SITE IS CERTAIN -- HAS CERTAINLY MADE DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGING WITH RESPECT TO SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES THAT ARE GOING TO BORDER THIS TABER.
NEXT SITE. THIS IS THE FORMALLY PROPOSED SITE PLAN. 210 UNIT.
2.86 BAKER PARK. THIS IS BUT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WHEN WE MET PREVIOUSLY. NO, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE CHANGES WE HAVE MADE SINCE WE SPOKE LAST TIME.
THIS IS THE NEW PROPOSED SITE. WE ALSO HAVE IT ON THE BOARD.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN ALL SEE THE BOARD BUT I WILL TRY IT WITH A LASER POINTER TO POINT OUT. WHAT WE HAVE HERE? WE HAVE INCREASED. SITE.
MY LASER POINTER IS. WE HAVE REMOVED FIVE LOTS.
DIRECTLY AT THE CENTER THE END OF THE PROPOSED PARK SITE.
SO WE HAVE INCREASED THAT EXACT DIMENSIONS.
3.96 ACRES. WE TALKED 4 ACRES, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT IS CLEAR. THE EXACT SIZE IS 2.9 -- 6-ACRE PARK NOW. THE CITY CAN UTILIZE FOR THE PURPOSES OF SCHOOLCHILDREN, TRIPS INTO THE EVERGLADES AND THE LIKE BUT IT COULD BE USED FOR MANY PURPOSES.
EVERY INTERSECTION AND I WILL SHOW YOU, THE INTERSECTION HERE, YOU WILL SEE SOME COLORATION. THAT INTERSECTION, WILL, ALL OF THE INTERSECTIONS AT THE ENDS OF THE STREET, YOU WILL SEE COLORATION ON THE SITE PLAN. THOSE ARE GOING TO BE ELEVATED PAPERS THE PURPOSE OF BOTH DECORATIVE AS WELL AS TRAFFIC SOME CONCERN FIRST BY -- ABOUT CONTROL SPEEDING ON SOME OF THESE ROADS. SO BY UTILIZING THESE PAPERS, WE ACCOMPLISHED TWO PURPOSES. ONE IS A DECORATIVE EFFECT CLEARLY AS WELL AS A TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICE AND THAT HAS BEEN INSTALLED. IN ADDITION TO WHICH HAS BEEN MENTIONED BY CAITLIN KNUTE WE HAVE REDUCED THEIR FRAMES REQUEST, PREVIOUS VARIANCE REQUEST, GONE FOR THE PROCESS NOW, DRC, PNC, FIRST READING OF THIS COMMISSION.
[01:30:02]
WE REQUESTED EIGHT VARIANCES. WE HAVE ELIMINATED THE SWIMMING POOL SITE AND WE SET BUT THE VARIANCE REQUEST.WE HAVE ELIMINATED THE SETBACK VARIANCE REQUEST FOR.
AND WE HAVE REDUCED THE LOT COVERAGE PREVIOUSLY WE HAVE REQUESTED LOT COVERAGE, A 60%. WE HAVE PRODUCED THE LOT COVERAGE TO 52%. LET ME FURTHER CLARIFIED THAT IF I M MADE. THE 52% IS APPLICABLE TO THE LARGER LOTS THAT ARE ON THE DEVELOPMENT.
IF YOU NOTICE, IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR OVERHEAD OR ACTUALLY, IT IS ON YOUR SCREEN, THERE'S EIGHT LIGHT YELLOW AND WHITE LOTS, THE LIGHT YELLOW OR THE LARGER LOTS, THE LIGHT ARE THE SMALL LOTS.
THE LARGER LOTS WILL HAVE 50 -- UP TO 52% LOT COVERAGE.
THE SMALLER LOTS WILL HAVE UP TO 45% LOT COVERAGE.
THAT IS ADDITIONAL CHANGE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO MAKE FURTHER REDUCING REQUESTS. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
WE HAVE DONE THIS ALREADY. >> OKAY.
OKAY. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE COMPARISON WITH THE OTHER DEVELOPMENTS. WE HAVE DONE THIS PREVIOUSLY WITH A PREVIOUS REQUEST BUT NOW, OBVIOUSLY, IT WAS OUR AMENDED REQUEST. WE WANT TO SHUT IT AGAIN, THAT COMPARING IT TO THE FOUR SEASONS, THE TWO DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE ADJACENT TO HER PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, WE EQUAL OR EXCEED WHERE THEY ARE IN TERMS OF WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING.
SO WE ARE NOT WORSE THAN THEM. WE ARE BETTER THAN THEM ON MANY OF THESE CATEGORIES. MINIMUM LOT SIZE, MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE, SCREEN AND DECK POOL, ET CETERA.
ALL OF THE SETBACKS. WE ARE BETTER SEND THEM.
ON MANY OF THESE CATEGORIES. SO WE WILL SHOW THAT NOW WITH THE CHANGES WE HAVE MADE. WE HAVE EVEN FURTHER, -- CHANGED IT SO THAT IT IS EVEN BETTER THAN IT WAS BEFORE.
LET'S GO TO NEXT SLIDE, JEFF. AND THIS IS THE COMPARISON TO HERON BAY AND WHAT REQUEST. VIRTUE OF THE CHANGES MADE.
AGAIN NOW ARE THE SAME. WITH RACE.
ALMOST ALL OF THEM. THE SIDE, STREET, IN WHICH WE ARE BETTER THAN -- NOT AS GOOD AS WHAT A CRISP? AND WITH -- WITH RESPECT TO MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE, 52%.
CERTAINLY VERY CLOSE. AS YOU CAN SEE, WE ARE VERY COMFORTABLE -- COMPARABLE TO THE DEVELOPMENTS IN TERMS OF WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING. NEXT SLIDE, JUST, PLEASE.
AND AGAIN, THIS IS THE REVISED COST ESTIMATE IN TERMS OF NOW WHAT THE DEVELOPER IS PUTTING ON THE TABLE IN TERMS OF MONEY, CONTRIBUTION TO BOTH UNDERSTAND POINT OF THE DEDICATION OF THE PARK, IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF ACRES, THE WORK THAT IS COMMITTED TO GIVING PARK SITE, THE CLEARING, THE ENGINEERING SERVICES COOKIE ACCESS, ET CETERA.
IT IS NOT JUST THE DEDICATION OF THE PARK WHICH I THINK IS WHAT YOU ARE AT MOST, COMES THOSE ACCUSTOMED TO RECEIVING FROM A DEVELOPER. THIS THE.
IS COMMITTED TO THE DRINK RIPPED OUT THE SIDE THAT MAKE IT READY FOR DEVELOPMENT SO THAT YOU CAN BUILD A PARK ON THIS SITE AND UTILIZE IT. IN ADDITION, WE AGREED IN THE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT THAT THE COMMISSIONS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED APPROXIMATELY TWO-MONTH AGO TO PAY $100,000 TOWARDS BISHOP PIT ROAD IMPROVEMENTS. THE TOTAL COST TO THE APPLICANT NOW WITH RESPECT TO OUR PROPOSAL IS ALMOST $4 MILLION.
$3.876 MILLION BUT. REALLY IS QUITE SUBSTANTIAL GIVEN THE NATURE OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.
THE NEXT SLIDE IS VERY FAST BUT WE AGREED IF YOU APPROVE THIS THIS EVENING TO ABANDON THE OTHER PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS THE MULTIFAMILY PROJECT ON GATOR ACRES, WITH WORKFORCE HOUSING AND WE HAVE ALSO AGREED TO DISMISS THE LAWSUIT AGAINST BROWARD COUNTY FOR DAMAGES DUE TO.
CONSTRUCTION AND LOSING THE PROPERTY VALUE.
[01:35:01]
NEXT SLIDE, JUST. -- JEFF.I WILL TURN IT OVER TO JEFF. I WILL GIVE A SHORT SUMMARY AND WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU, AS ALWAYS. >> GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR, MY NAME IS JEFF EVANS. I AM A LAND USE PLANNER.
WE ARE PURSUING APPLICATIONS THIS EVENING.
ANNEXATION, RESULTING THE SIDE PERIOD.
SIX VARIANCES RATHER THAN THE IT.
A PLAT AND RELEASE OF PAGE RESTRICTIONS WHICH WE WILL GET THROUGH EACH ONE OF THEM INDIVIDUALLY.
WE DID NOT TALK ABOUT THE APPEARANCES INSIDE PLANTS IN THE LAST HEARING. I HAVE TO TAKE SOME TIME TO GO THROUGH THOSE. PART ON THE ANNEXATION, WE TALKED ABOUT SEVERAL WEEKS AGO IT IS APPROVED AND HEADING TO THE LEGISLATION, LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION AND FINAL APPROVAL IS EXPECTED THAT A LITTLE LESS THAN A YEAR FROM NOW.
AND THE REZONING AND THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL.
WE ARE PROPOSING FOR REZONING OF OUR STREET WHICH EQUALS THREE UNITS PER ACRE, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USE DESIGNATION ASSIGNED TO THE PARCEL AND THE AND SID PARCEL, IT IS IN THE LAND USE PROCESS. THERE IS A PUBLIC HEARING TOMORROW WITH THE BROWN COUNTY COMMISSION TO DISCUSS WHETHER OR NOT IT WILL BE TRANSMITTED TO THE ESTATE FOR REVIEW.
ACCOMPANIED IT IS OUR SITE PLAN APPROVAL.
THIS STRAIGHT YEAR THAT YOU SEE THAT IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THREE UNITS PER ACRE AS THE REZONING AND LAND USE AMENDMENT.
WE HAVE OUR DESIGNER WITH US THIS EVENING.
SUMMER HERE. AND SHE WILL GO INTO SOME DETAIL ABOUT THE SITE PLAN MORE SO THAN I WILL.
JUST TO BROACH ON HOW WE ENDED UP IN DISPOSITION WHERE WE ARE APPLYING FOR THE DEVELOPMENT. THE PURITY CODE WAS AMENDED BY YOU. IF YOU ARE AWARE OF THAT, IN MAY OF 2019. IT WAS BETWEEN PHASE I AND PHASE TWO OF WHAT WE WERE WORKING ON AND WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT PHASE TWO TO WEAVER, ERIN TENT WAS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT THAT WE FOUND AROUND US.
PARKLAND BAY AND FOUR SEASON SPECIFICALLY.
PERHAPS WE ARE NOT PAYING CLOSE ENOUGH ATTENTION TO IT WITH THE COUNCIL IS DOING IN TERMS OF CODE AMENDMENTS.
BUT WE DID NOT ATTEND OR CONSUMED ON THE PURITY AMENDMENTS THAT WE DID. WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO LAUNCH AND BUILD A SITE PLAN PURSUANT TO THE CODES WHICH WE DID AND AS WE DUG INTO FURTHER AND FURTHER AND GETTING INTO SOME OF THE CHALLENGES FACED AS THE SIDE PLANNER FOR THIS, BUT WE FOUND THAT WE JUST WERE ABLE TO DEVELOP A SAID PLANT THAT WOULD BOTH MEET THE STANDARDS OF THE PURITY AND THEN MEET THE THINGS THAT WE NEEDED TO HAVE THAT WITH THE COMMUNITY SO WE STARTED EXPLORING SOME DIFFERENT OPTIONS.
ONE OF THEM WAS TO GO WITH YOUR STANDARD PURITY CODE WHICH TYPICALLY HAS MUCH LARGER SETBACKS MUCH LARGER STANDARDS IN GENERAL BECAUSE IT IS NOT A CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT TYPE CODE.
IT ANTICIPATES HAVING LARGE LOTS LARGE SETBACKS BUT THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT IS YOU DON'T HAVE A COMMUNITY FACILITY BUILDING, A CLUBHOUSE, IF YOU WILL, THE OPEN SPACE BREW PUB PARTS CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT. BUT WE ATTEMPTED TO DO WAS COME UP WITH BASICALLY A HYBRID PLANT WHICH MIMICKED THE PRD PLAN AS CLOSE AS WE COULD DO YET INCORPORATED THE ELEMENTS OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE ADJACENT THOSE IN EAST AND THAT WAS WHAT OUR THOUGHT PROCESS WAS. AND WE IDENTIFIED THE AREAS THAT WE NEED TO HAVE AMENDMENTS TO THE CODE OR VARIANCES, EXCUSE ME. TO MAKE THIS ALL WORK AND WE HAVE HEATED UP WITH SIX VARIANCES AND RESULT OF THOSE VARIANCES, WHAT THEY DO FOR US IS THE SAME THING THAT THE PURITY CODE DOES, WHICH ALLOWS US TO DEVELOP A CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT AND HAVE LOTS THAT ARE APPROPRIATE TO THE TYPE OF CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT. WE HAVE DONE THE SAME THINGS THE PRD CODE -- AND THE STANDARDS ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOUR PRD CODE IS. BUT WE FELT LIKE WE HAVE HONORED
[01:40:01]
THOSE AND MOVED FORWARD WITH WHAT WE THINK IS A STRONG SITE PLAN. LET ME GET INTO THE OTHER ELEMENTS OF IT. WE ARE PROPOSING SIX VARIANCES.AND I WILL GO TO EACH OF THOSE VARIANCES.
AND THEN FOLLOWING THAT, YOUR CODE INCLUDES FIVE CRITERIA FROM WHICH YOU GUYS MUST REVIEW THESE CRITERIA AND EVALUATE THEM.
WE WILL GO THROUGH EACH OF THOSE, TOO.
I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT NONE OF THE VARIANCES HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING OUTSIDE LOTS.
THESE VARIANCES REFERRED TO SETBACKS AND INTENSITY UNDER LOT ALL OF THAT BUT NOPE VARIANCES REQUESTED FOR LANDSCAPE BUFFERS OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD IMPACT THE ELEMENTS OF THE SITE PLAN.
WE ARE ASKING FOR -- EXCUSE ME, THREE VARIANCES, IN THIS CASE.
IT REQUIRES 35% LOT COVERAGE. WE ARE ASKING FOR 52%.
THAT IS DOWN FROM 60%. WE ARE ALSO REQUESTING VARIANCES FOR MINIMUM LOT WIDTH AND MINIMUM LOT AREA AND IT WAS LOT VARIANCES THAT WE WERE REQUESTING.
FOR FOOT SETBACK VARIANCES, WE ARE REQUESTING 15-FOOT TO HALS 20.5 WITH JUST ABOUT ALL OF THE PRD COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED IN OUR AREA AND AROUND IT AS WELL.
AND THEN THE SIDE YARD SETBACK WHICH IS ACTUALLY A LITTLE BIT LARGER THAN MOST COMMUNITIES HAVE A LOT OF THAT IS DRIVEN BY THE DRAINAGE AND WITH -- THE MECHANIC EQUIPMENT ISSUES.
AND OUR ENGINEERS HERE THIS EVENING AND WE CAN'T GET INTO SOME OF THE DRAINAGE ISSUES THAT WERE ADDRESSED WITH THESE SUPLEX AND THEN FINALLY, WE HAVE ONE FINAL SETBACK ACCORDING TO ACCESSORY STRUCTURES. THE SHEDS OUTDOOR KITCHENS, THINGS OF THAT SORT BUT DISTRACTS HER CLOSELY WITH ALL OF THE AT THE PURITY COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED IN THIS AREA. AS I SAID, THERE ARE FIVE DIFFERENT CRITERIA THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE CODE BY WHICH YOU EVALUATE VARIANCE REQUEST. JUST SO IT IS NOT TOO CONFUSING, I HAVE ONE TO FIVE VARIANCE CRITERIA.
THAT IS THE FIRST CRITERIA. I WILL GO THROUGH EACH OF THOSE.
THE FIRST THING IT ASKS, ARE THERE ANY SPECIAL OR UNIQUE SURFACE TENSION IS AFFECTING THESE PROPERTIES? WHAT IS UNUSUAL ABOUT THIS PROPERTY THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR A VARIANCE AND WE HOLD THE 300-FOOT COMMUNITY TOWERS IS A PRETTY UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCE FOR ANY DECENT PROPERTY. ONE IS.
TWO IS, OBVIOUSLY, A LOT MORE. AGAIN, WE TALKED ABOUT THE CODE AMENDMENT. THE PRD THAT WAS AMENDED.
AND THAT WAS AN UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCE FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE CERTAINLY. THE PROPERTY HAS SOME UNUSUAL SHAPE WHICH REQUIRES -- AGAIN, WENDI CAN TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE CHALLENGES. WE HAVE MULTIPLE JURISDICTIONS, ADJACENT TO HUGE WILDLIFE. THIS IS A FAIRLY UNIQUE PROPERTY. IT IS HARD TO LOOK AT IT ANY OTHER WAY. OKAY.
THE NEXT. CRITERIA IS -- DID WE CREATE THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, THESE HARDSHIPS OR DID THEY COME TO US? AND CLEARLY, DOCUMENTATION TABS WERE NOT PART OF OUR SITE PLAN. WE WOULD PREFER THEM NOT BEING THERE, BUT THEY ARE. AND SECONDLY, AGAIN, THE CODE BEING AMENDMENT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT BE CORRECTED.
IT CAME TO US. THE CRITERIA NUMBER THREE.
INTERPRETATION, THE CODE WOULD APPLY THE APPLICANT SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ENJOY. AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, DOES IT GIVE YOU ADVANTAGES OF YOUR NEIGHBORS AND ARE POINT ON THIS IS THAT, NO, WE ARE ASKING FOR EXACTLY WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS HAVE.
WE ARE ASKING FOR LESS THAN WHAT I NEIGHBORS HAVE MOST OF OUR INSTITUTIONS -- INSTANCES. VARIANCE CRITERIA.
IS NOT SELF-CREATED. I'M SORRY.
BUT AGAIN, IT IS NOT SELF-CREATED VARIANCE.
IT CAME TO US. AND FINALLY FOR YOU WILL SEE I HAVE UNDERLINED CERTAIN ELEMENTS IN HERE.
THE REASONABLE USE OF THE PROPERTY, THE APPLICANT IS ONLY REQUESTING SIMILAR RIGHTS AS OUR NEIGHBORS.
[01:45:01]
WERE NOT LOOKING TO DO ANYTHING MORE THAN WHAT THEY ARE DOING.DE IN HARMONY WITH THE GENERAL PURPOSES, THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF TESTING FOR THE VARIANCES, SO THAT WE CAN BE IN HARMONY WITH OUR NAME% THE OTHER COMMUNITIES.
CURRENT WE WILL NOT BE -- OR OTHERWISE ATTACHMENT TO THE PUBLIC WELFARE. AGAIN, WE HAVE STRUCTURED THE COMMUNITY. IT CLOSELY TRACKS WITH OUR NEIGHBORS. AND THAT WOULD NOT BE INJURIOUS BUT IT WOULD BE SUPPORTED AND COMPLEMENTARY IN OUR ESTIMATION.
WE FEEL THAT WE MEET THE CRITERIA AS FAR AS THAT GOES.
WITH THAT, I WILL MOVE ON. WE HAVE ALREADY GONE OVER THIS.
BUT SINCE I HAVE ALREADY GONE THROUGH THIS INCH DISCUSSIONS, I WANTED TO TOUCH ON IT ONE MORE TIME TO DRIVE HOME THE POINT THAT WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING MORE.
IN FACT, WE WORK CLOSELY WITH YOUR CITY ENGIN ENGINEER TO ADDS THE DRAINAGE PROBLEMS AND THAT IS WHAT DROVE 6.5 SETBACK THAT WE HAVE. AGAIN, THESE ARE -- WE FEEL REFINEMENTS TO THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE CITY IN THE PAST AND WE FUELED THIS IS GOING TO BE HIGH-QUALITY COMMUNITY WITH REALLY SOLID DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.
WE HAVE SUBMITTED A PLAT AND WE HAVE A REVISED PLAT THAT SHOWS THE 3.96-ACRE PARK BUT LET ME BE CLEAR ON THAT, INCLUDING THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES TO GIVE THE CITY COMMISSION THE LEVEL OF COMFORT THAT IF THIS PROJECT SHOULD BE APPROVED AND THE PLAT IS PUT IN PLACE, A PLAT THAT WILL BE PLACED ON THAT AND THE PROPERTY WILL BE A 205 UNIT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT THAT WILL NOT CHANGE THE CITY WILL HAVE CONTROL OVER GATOR ACRES AND 205 UNITS WITH A PLAT. IN ADDITION, THERE ARE TWO EXISTING DEED ATTRACTIONS THAT THE CITY AND THE COUNTY ARE PUSHED REGARDING AGE. AGE RESTRICTIONS, 55 AND ABOVE COMMUNITY. WE ARE -- IN ORDER TO HAVE THOSE RESTRICTIONS LIFTED, BOTH THE CITY AND THE APPLICANT HAVE TO MAKE AN APPLICATION TO THE COUNTY DELEGATION AND THEY WILL PROCESS THAT APPLICATION AND THAT IS ONE OF THE OTHER REQUESTS THAT IS WITH US TONIGHT, IS TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR OR HOWEVER THE CITY -- IT TO JOIN IN ON IT WITH THE APPLICATION TO LIFT THE DEED RESTRICTIONS.
WHEN -- THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AS FAR AS THE PROCEDURAL ISSUES BUT ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO BRING UP IS THAT THERE ARE TWO CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL THAT WE HAVE MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY AND WE DO HAVE OBJECTIONS THEIR CONDITIONS NUMBER E AND NUMBER G. I CAN READ THEM FOR YOU DIR DIRECTLY. NUMBER D IS A REQUIREMENT THAT WOULD HAVE A 24-HOUR MANNED GUARD HOUSE.
I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT PREVIOUSLY, 210 UNITS BUT NOW WE ARE EVEN SMALLER THAN THAT. 205 UNITS.
SHORT HOUSE THAT SORT OUT. TO THE H.O.A. TO EACH INDIVIDUAL MEMBER OF THE S -- H.O.A. WE HAD SOME DISCUSSION WHERE SEVERAL MEMBERS ECHOED THAT AND SAID FOR OUR COMMUNITY OF THIS SIZE, 200, IT IS A HUGE BURDEN TO TRIED TO PAY FOR THE GUARD.
MOST OF THOSE A OUR COMMUNITIES THAT IN THE FOUR TO 500 UNIT RANGE. IT IS I BELIEVE 500 -- 530 UNITS. AND THE 400 RANGE.
WE ARE 200 UNITS. IF CONDITIONS SEE FIT TO APPROVE THIS, YOU WILL BE PUTTING A HUGE FINANCIAL BURDEN ON EACH OF THE INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS. US, IT REALLY OF COURSE, DOES NOT ALL THAT MATTER MUCH IN THE LANGUAGE OF THINGS.
TO THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT WE THINK AND WE THINK THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED MORE CLOSELY. THE FINAL ONE, DEALS WITH -- LET ME JUST READ IT. IT IS DETERMINED BY THE CITY'S UNITS TO BE FEASIBLE, THEY SHALL REVISE THE ENTRANCE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE SEPARATE RESIDENT LEADS TO THE POINT OF VEHICULAR ACCESS GATES RATHER THAN THE CALL BOX AS CURRENTLY PROPOSED.
[01:50:01]
WE HAVE WHAT WE FEEL IS THE SELLER DESIGNED FOR THE ENTRY FUTURE. AGAIN, SHE IS THE ONE WHO DECIDE IT. SHE WILL WALK YOU THROUGH THE ELEMENTS OF IT AND I WOULD AGAIN ASK YOU TO NOT INCLUDE THAT.YOU CAN MAKE THAT DETERMINATION AFTER YOU HEAR THAT PRESENTATION REGARDING THE ENTRY FUTURE. AT WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO TURN THE PRESENTATION OVER.
>> GOOD EVENING, WENDI WITH URBAN DESIGN IN WEST PALM BEACH.
> GOOD EVENING. >> I'M GOING TO BRIEFLY GO OVER THE ELEMENTS OF THE SITE PLAN. AS YOU AWARE, THE SITE -- WE HAVE A MAN ACCESS THE GATED ENTRANCE ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE ROAD AND A SECONDARY ACCESS FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES AND RESIDENTS. AND THAT IS TOWARD THE WESTERN SIDE NEAR HIS APARTMENT. AS IMAGINE NUMEROUS TIMES, THE SITE PLAN IS PROPOSING TO THE FIVE DWELLING UNITS.
THESE ARE MADE UP OF A MIX OF UNIT SIZES.
13853-FOOT LIGHT UNITS AND 6763-FOOT WIDE UNITS.
SHOWN IN THE TWO DIFFERENT COLORS OF THE PLAN.
BUT BY WE MEET ALL OF THE CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR LANDSCAPE BUFFERS CONSISTENT WITH THE OTHER PROPERTIES.
WE ARE PROPOSING 45-FOOT WIDE BUFFER WITH FIRM AND A FOOT WIDE PAST AN OFFENSE. 25-FOOT WIDE BUFFER ON THE WESTERN SOUTH -- WEST AND SOUTH AND A BUFFET WITH A SOLID DEFENSE ADJACENT TO THE INDUSTRIAL SITE TO THE EAST OF US. THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MAIN ENTRANCE. THIS IS A DETAIL SHOWING EXACTLY HOW IT IS GOING TO WORK. THERE WILL BE 212-FOOT LANES.
ONE IS FOR THE VISITORS AND ONE IS FOR THE RESIDENCE.
EACH OF THEM MEETS THE SECOND REQUIREMENTS, APPROXIMATELY 11 CARS. SO AT A MAXIMUM, THE CREW COULD BE 22 CARS STACKED AT THE FIRST STOP POINT.
THE RESIDENCE MYTHICAL ON THE OUTLOOK AND THEN BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD AND ENTER INTO THE SWING GATE CORRECTLY WOULD MOST LIKELY HAVE A READER ON THEIR CARD THAT WOULD ALLOW THEM DIRECT ACCESS.
THE VISITORS WOULD BE ON THE INSIDE LANE AND THEY WOULD REACH THE CALL BOX MAN WE COULD PROPOSE AN ARM GET THERE THAT WOULD THEN STOP THEM BEFORE THEY MOVE ON TO THE SWING GATE.
I HAVE SOME IMAGES OF WHAT THIS COULD POTENTIALLY LOOK LIKE.
AS MENTIONED EARLIER, WE ARE PROPOSING 12 INTERSECTION TRAFFIC CALMING'S AND WE ARE RAISING UP THE PAVERS IN PROVIDING EFFECTIVE PAVERS AND HUGO IS 82 OF WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE. IN ADDITION TO SLOGAN BECAUSE WE WOULD ALSO HAVE THE STOP SIGNS AND CROSSWALKS, WHICH WOULD HELP AID WITH THE PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION.
AS FAR AS OPEN SPACE FOR THE SITE, WE ARE PROVIDING OVER 36% OVER -- OPEN SPACE. THIS IS MADE UP OF THE 4-ACRE DEPARTMENT. DEPARTMENT -- I'M SORRY, THE LINKS WITH THE OPEN SPACES ON THE END.
AND THE REC PARK THAT RECREATION PARCEL AND THAT LINEAR PARK.
HERE'S A BLOWUP OF THE PARK DEDICATION SHOWING THE 4-ACRE DEPARTMENT. IT IS ADJACENT TO THE SECONDARY ECZEMA POINT ON THE ROAD AND THERE IS A GATE PAST THE PARK ACCESS APPOINTMENT. THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE GATE. WE ARE PROPOSING A CLUBHOUSE, APRIL, AND -- IN ADDITION TO A PARKING LOT AND A LAWN FOR CHILDREN TO PLAY IN. HERE'S SOME IMAGES ON HOW THAT COULD LOOK QUICK THIS WILL BE COMING BACK TO YOU.
A PICTURE OF THE CLUBHOUSE. IN THE EAST, THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE SITE IS WHERE THAT LINEAR PARK IS LOCATED.
THERE'S AN 8-FOOT WIDE PATHWAY AND WE FEEL THAT THIS WILL ADD A NICE PASSIVE RECREATION ELEMENT TO THE PLAN.
[01:55:04]
SORRY. ALL OF THE LEX HAVE ONE END THAT WAS OPEN AND THAT IS CEMENT PLANT LOTS IN THESE AREAS.WE HAVE PARKING AND PEDESTRIAN ACCESS TO THE LAKE.
IN TERMS OF PARKING, WE MEET THAT PARKING REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECTION OF THE CODE. THEY EACH HAVE FOUR PARKING SPACES. TWO IN THE DRIVEWAY.
WE HAVE 54 PARKING SPACES. AND A TOTAL OF 26 GUEST PARKING.
THERE'S AN IMAGE OF A TYPICAL GUEST PARKING SPACE.
THEY ARE SCATTERED ACROSS THE SITE SO THAT PEOPLE CAN CONVENIENTLY DEPARTMENT. IN ADDITION TO I THOUGHT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF WE POINTED AT SOME OF THE CONSISTENCIES THAT WE MET WITH THE NEW CODE. AS MENTIONED EARLIER, WE STARTED OUT AS THE PURITY SO WE DID TRY OUR BEST TO MEET A LOT OF THE CRITERIA. THE NEW PURITY SECTION INCLUDES A MINIMUM BUILDING AREA WHICH IS A RANGE AND WE HAVE TWO DIFFERENT LOT SIZES. WE PROVIDE A PRIMARY AND SECONDARY TREATMENT? WE HAVE INTERNAL PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION. WE MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF RECREATIONAL AMENITY AND A POOL. WE MEET THE MINIMUM CLUBHOUSE SIZE PER UNIT. WE PROVIDE THE GUEST PARKING AND THE OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS AND AIR PLANS FOR PREPARED LICENSED PROFESSIONALS. WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT
OVER TO THE PROJECT ENGINEER. >> GOOD EVENING, AMERICA.
VICE MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION.
CROSS ENGINEERS. GOING OVER SOME OF THE ITEMS YOU HAVE HEARD PREVIOUSLY. WE HAVE OBTAINED THAT DRAINAGE PERMIT. WE HAVE GOT OVER AS PREVIOUSLY THAT WE DESIGN THIS TO BE HIGHER AND PROVIDE SUFFICIENT DRAINAGE IN LIEU OF THE SITUATION GOING ON IN PARKLAND THAT CONCERNS.
WE ARE DISCHARGING DIRECTLY TO THE HILLSBORO CANAL.
WE ARE NOT TIED INTO THE DRAINAGE BASIN.
WE HAVE ESTABLISHED FINISH FLOORS THAT ARE HIGH AND WILL ACCOMMODATE THE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FEMA FLOOD MAPS.
SO I THINK WE HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS YOU KNOW, MULTIPLE TIMES.
BUT I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A WHOLE LOT TO WIN OVER IN ADDITION TO IT. WE HAVE GONE OVER THAT HAVE IMPLEMENTED THE NEW REQUIREMENTS THAT.
WOULD USE DOORSTEP PARKLAND IS REQUIRING.
WE ARE TRYING ALL OF THE TRENDS FOR EACH ZONE HOME INTO THE DRAIN SYSTEM THAT TIES INTO THE REARVIEW YARD TRADES THAT WILL BE TIGHTENED THE STREET PROFITS DRAINAGE SYSTEM.
WE ARE REQUIRING THE BECHTEL OF THE SIDE GUARDS TO BE 2 FEET OF CLEAN INCIDENT TO PROMOTE CIRCULATION.
WE HAVE ALSO DESIGNED FOR A FRONT YARD AND FILTRATION SYSTEM THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S REQUIREMENTS THAT WOULD COLLECT ANY RUNOFF THAT WOULD BASICALLY BE FROM RAINFALL IN THE FRONT YARDS AND DRY FACE. THIS ALSO WILL GO UNDERNEATH THE DRIVEWAY TO HELP COLLECT ANY WATER FROM THE DRIVEWAYS AS YOU HAVE SEEN ISSUES, OTHER RESIDENTS, RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. I WANTED TO WIN OVER SOME OF THE FRONT ENTRANCE AS WENDI WENT OVER THE ENTRANCE.
I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT AND DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE IMPROVEMENTS WE ARE MAKING A LONG WALK TO HATCHERY ROAD.
THIS PART OF THE PLAN AND IT IS INSIDE THE OFFSITE IMPROVEMENTS.
IT WILL BE WIDENING THE ROAD TO ALLOW FOR THE TURN LANE THAT WILL BE MODIFIED. THIS IS BASED ON THIS PLANET RIGHT HERE YOU ARE SEEING THAT IS ACTUALLY BASED ON THE NEW LOXAHATCHEE ROAD PLANS. SO WE WILL BE MODIFYING THOSE PLANS. YOU CAN SEE THE HATCHED AREA ON THE LEFT TURNING IN. WE WILL BE CREATING THAT TURN LANE PIPE AND LIVING A PORTION OF THAT MEETING AND THEN WIDENING IT ON THE SOUTH SIDE. SO ONE OF THE ITEMS I WANTED TO GO OVER THAT WAS NOT REALLY BROUGHT UP IS THAT IN THE REDESIGN BECAUSE THE CONCEPT THAT WE FELT THAT THESE ROADS, THAT THE CULPRIT LONG STRAIGHT ROADS.
[02:00:03]
WE HAVE ADDED STOP SIGNS FOR THREE-WEEK INTERSECTIONS FOR THOSE ROADS. IF YOU COPE -- IF I GO BACK TO THE SITE PLAN, YOU CAN SEE -- LET'S SEE.THE INTERSECTION, WE HAVE ADDED A THREE WAY INTERSECTION HERE.
LET'S SEE. I DON'T THINK THAT WHAT WORKS.
SO WE HAVE ADDED THREE OF THOSE INTERSECTIONS AND MADE THEM THREE WAY INTERSECTIONS, THREE WAY START TO TRY TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR REQUEST THAT THESE ROADS MAYBE LONGER.
I WOULD SAY IN COMPARISON TO THE OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT THESE ROADS THAT ARE STREET THAT ARE LONG STRAIGHT ROADS, ARE DWARFED IN COMPARISON TO PARKLAND BAY'S WHAT WAS OR MAR-A-LAGO'S WHERE THEY ARE A THIRD OF THAT LENGTH OF WHAT HAS BEEN APPROVED PREVIOUSLY. SO WHILE YOU ARE LOOKING AT THIS SITE AND ITS OF, IF YOU WERE TO ZOOM OUT AND LOOK AT THAT REST OF THE COMMUNITIES, YOU WILL SEE THESE ROADS AREN'T THAT LONG.
YOU CAN COUNT THAT LOTS. THERE WILL BE A STOP SIGN ESSENTIALLY ON THE LONGEST ROAD ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE SITE.
EVERY FIVE TO SIX, MAYBE TEN LOTS, YOU WILL HAVE A STOP SIGN.
SO ALONG WITH THE ELEVATED PLATEAUED WE PAPERED INTERSECTIONS THAT IS BEING IMPLEMENTED IN A LOT OF CITIES.
I DON'T THINK YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE AN ISSUE HERE, ESPECIALLY BEING IN PARKLAND WORK WITH THE RESIDENTS ARE VERY VOCAL AND WILL SPEAK UP TO PUT NEIGHBORS IF THERE ARE FOLKS SPEEDING IN THERE. SO TO ADDRESS THAT WE HAVE ADDED STOP SIGNS THAT ARE IN THE REVISED ENGINEERING PLANTS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED AND MAKING THREE WE STOPPED.
AND WITH THAT, YOU KNOW, I THINK, WITH THE DRAINAGE, WE HAVE COVERED IT AND AS FAR AS ENGINEER, I THINK WE GOT A SOUND DESIGN. AND WE ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.
>> WE GOT E-MAIL SAYING THAT FOR LEGAL PURPOSES, WE NEED TO WIN DO SOME OF THE CHANGED SITE PLANS.
DO YOU HAVE THAT, THAT PDF FILE THAT I SEND?
>> YES. DUE TO THE TIMING OF THAT RESUBMISSION, THE APPLICANT'S REVISED SITE PLAN SET IN ITS ENTIRE ENTIRETY WAS NOT RECEIVED FROM THE CITY.
OBVIOUSLY WE RECEIVED THE SITE PLAN SHEET ITSELF BUT OF COURSE, WITH AN INSIDE PLAN SET, DISCUSSED MANY SUPPLEMENTAL SHEETS. THERE'S PROBABLY OVER TWO DOZEN SHEETS APPENDED TO THE MAIN SITE PLAN SHEET.
THAT NEED TO BE MADE PART OF THE RECORD SO THAT IS WHAT THE APPLICANT IS GOING TO ATTEMPT TO DO QUICKLY HERE.
AS WELL AS ALSO THE CITY HAS NOT RECEIVED THE UPDATED PLANT ITSELF IN TERMS OF THE DRAWING SET.
SO WE HAVE THE REVISED SITE PLAN SHEET.
>> I'M NOT SURE WHICH ONE. >> JUST SO I'M CLEARCUT YOU ARE SAYING THAT THE CITY HAS NOT RECEIVED IT, MEANING YOU AS THE STAFF HAS NOT HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY?
>> THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT HAS NOT RECEIVED THE SITE PLAN SET IN ITS ENTIRETY OR THE PLAT APPLICATION WITH SUFFICIENT TIME TO REVIEW THEM. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THEM IN EITHER DEPARTMENT TO REVIEW THEM ALL.
I'M NOT SURE HOW YOU WANT TO INCLUDE THESE IN THE RECORD, IF YOU ELECT THEM TO OPEN THE SHEETS AND CAN KIND OF DISPLAY THEM. MAYBE IF YOU HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE
IDEA. >> I THINK THAT IS FINE.
YOU CAN GO THROUGH THEM QUICKLY AND IF THE COMMISSION HAS ANY QUESTIONS, YOU CAN ADDRESS THEIR QUESTIONS REGARDING THEM.
I THINK CAITLIN HIT IT ON THE HEAD.
JUST SO WE ARE CLEAR, THE SITE PLAN WAS SUBMITTED.
THESE ARE THE BACKUPS THAT SHOW THE FOCUS ON INDIVIDUAL PORTIONS
WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. >> AND AS I SAID, I WILL GO THROUGH THESE QUICKLY AS I CAN. THERE ARE FOUR DIFFERENT ELEMENTS. AND THAT PLAT.
AND I WILL GET TO THEM AS QUICKLY AS I CAN.
IT WAS AMENDED TO SHOW THE LARGER WORK.
THESE ARE ALL -- I APOLOGIZE. AGAIN, SHOWING THE LARGE PARK HERE ON GATOR ACRES. SAME THING.
[02:05:06]
THERE WE GO. THIS IS A REVISION SHOWING THE ENTRANCE AND SUCH AS THAT.
SOME OF THE INTERSECTION CHANGES THAT WE DID SHOW IN THIS ONE.
AGAIN, INTERSECTION CHANGES. THIS SHOWS THE OVERALL THAT THE LARGE. -- LARGE PARK.
SAME THING. AND THIS IS THE FINAL SITE PLAN SHEET THAT SHOWS THE ENLARGED PARK AND ANY OTHER DESIGN FEATURES THAT WE HAVE REVISED. LANDSCAPE PLANS.
AGAIN, THE COVER PAGE THAT SHOWS THE LARGE PARK AND SUCH.
JUST THE PLAN SHEET. AGAIN, INTERSECTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED WITH LANDSCAPING AND TRAFFIC CALMING.
SAME THING. AGAIN, SHOWING THE NEW TRAFFIC CALMING AND OTHER DESIGN FEATURES WE HAVE REVISED.
IT IS RIGHT NEAR THE RECREATION AREA.
YOU OVERSEE THAT LAKES. YOU SEE SOME OF THE CHANGES TO INCLUDE THE TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES.
WE ARE NEAR THE END, I PROMISE. SOME ARE CHANGES TO THE TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES. STOP SIGNS.
INTERSECTIONS. AND THE LAST SHEET THAT WAS AMENDED, LANDSCAPE PLAN. REVISED PLAT.
OKAY, THIS RIGHT HERE WILL SHOW YOU THE -- BASICALLY THE NORTH END ADJACENT TO THE ROAD, CITY PARK.
AND THIS SHOWS THE CERTAIN PORTION OF THE PLANET RIGHT HERE AND THIS IS BLOWING UP. YOU WILL SEE THE EXACT ACREAGE SHOWN RIGHT THERE. ALL RIGHT.
NOW WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME OF THEIR PLANS.
THIS IS THE OVERALL PLAN SHEET.
AGAIN, THE OVERALL PLAN SHEET. SORRY.
IT IS UPSIDE DOWN. SOME OF THE NEW DESIGN FEATURES.
PAVING AND DRAINAGE PLANS. THE OVERALL SITE.
[02:10:13]
I APOLOGIZE. DRAINAGE PLAN.SOME OF THE DRAINAGE FEATURES. PAVEMENT MARKING PLAN, SHOWS THE FRONT ENTRANCE. PART OF THE WATER SUPERSET.
>> WHILE YOU ARE DOING THIS, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR ANTHONY.
WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS PROCESS OF HAVING A CHANCE TO REVIEW THIS? IS THIS SOMETHING AFTER-THE-FACT, ASSUMING IT IS APPROVED, THE STAFF HAS A CHANCE TO REVIEW SUBJECT TO THE POKE APPROVAL? OR IS THIS JUST NOW, WE ARE ACCEPTING IT AS FACT THAT THIS
COMPLIES WITH WHAT WE NEED? >> ULTIMATELY, WHATEVER THEY ARE PROPOSING NEEDS TO COMPLY WITH THE CODE.
WE ARE NOT WAVING ANYTHING, ANY CODE REQUIREMENTS.
IF YOU GO AND APPROVED VARIANCES THAT THEY ARE REQUESTING.
I DON'T KNOW. >> THOSE VARIANCES ARE THE EXPRESSED VARIANCES PUTS ANYTHING BEYOND THAT, WE ASSUME
THAT THESE ALL COMPLY? >> THAT IS CORRECT.
YOU KNOW, FOR THE FIRST MEE REA, YOU HAVE THIS FULL OR I SHOULD SAY, GENERALLY YOU WOULD HAVE HAD THIS FULL PLAN SET WITH THE PRIOR PLAN AND WHAT YOU HAD IN THE BACK UP TONIGHT IS JUST THE SITE PLAN WITHOUT THE DETAILED, LIKE NURSING KNOW OF EACH
>> IT IS IMPORTANT TO GET IT ON THE RECORD.
>> AND IF I MAY, JUST TO AT TO A BIT, ONE OF THE REASONS WE AMENDED IT AS WE DID, THE LEAST DISRUPTIVE WAY OF ADDING TO THE PARK WOULD BE TO JUST ELIMINATE LOTS AS WE DID.
THAT WEEK AT THE CHANGES TO THE ENGINEERING PLANS WERE MINIMAL CHANGES TO ALL OF THE CLANCY BURKE MINIMAL BY DOING THAT AND THAT IS WHY BE MADE THE CHANGES THAT WE DID.
IT WOULD HAVE TRIGGERED A SERIES OF EVENTS THAT WOULD HAVE ENDED UP WITH US BEING BACK AND ADDING PUBLICLY SIX MONTHS TO THE PROCESS AND WE JUST WOULD LIKE TO AVOID THAT IF WE COULD AND THAT IS WHY WE CHOSE THE DECISION THAT WE DID.
YOU WOULD DE -- BE DISAPPOINTED TO FIND OUT THAT WE HAVE NO MORE PLAN SHEETS TO SHARE WITH YOU.
LET ME GO BACK TO OUR A REPRESENTATION AND MR. MOSKOWITZ IS GOING TO CONCLUDE, I BELIEVE.
THERE WE GO. >> GOOD EVENING, AGAIN.
JUST AS A QUICK SUMMARY WITH OUR FRIENDS TO WHERE WE ARE, FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO ADDRESS ONE ITEM THAT HAS BEEN MENTIONED, WHICH I WOULD LIKE TO IMAGINE AGAIN.
DEMAND GUARD GATE. 205 HOMES, PARKLAND GULF, EBERLE, IS BETWEEN. -- IS AN EXCESS OF 450 HOME.
>> CYPRESS HEAD IS APPROXIMATELY 450 HOMES.
PARKLAND DAY, 500. MY POINT, A FEW LOOK AT THE COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE 24-HOUR 70 A WEEK MANNED ARE HOUSES, MORE THAN TWICE THE SIZE OF THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.
AND THE ENORMITY OF THE COST TO HOMEOWNERS WOULD BE STAGGERING.
AND IT WOULD RENDER THIS PROJECT VERY, VERY DIFFICULT TO PEOPLE TO LIVE THERE ENTERED ABSOLVING THE COST -- ABSORB THE COST BUT WE DON'T THINK IT IS A PRACTICAL SOLUTION FOR 205 UNIT DEVELOPMENT. I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT.
SO WE HAVE DISCUSSED A LOT OF THE ITEM OTHER ITEMS OF THE DENSITY BY REMOVING THE FIVE LOTS, THE LAST TIME, HAS BEEN REDUCED DOWN TO 2.67 UNITS PER ACRE.
I MENTIONED THAT BECAUSE AS YOU RECALL FROM THE HISTORY, WHEN WE
[02:15:02]
WENT BACK A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AND WE COMMENCED THE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CITY CURRENTLY SAID THAT WE NEEDED THREE UNITS PER ACRE. WE ARE OBVIOUSLY COMING IN AT THREE UNITS PER ACRE AND OBVIOUSLY AND A RELEASE OF THE AGE RESTRICTION WHICH WE HAVE DISCUSSED.SO WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS TO THE CITY AND BEFORE I GO TO LIST, I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR. AS I SAID LAST TIME, WE ARE HERE TODAY. WE ARE ABOUT TO EMBARK ON ONE OF TWO COURSES OF ACTION, EITHER THIS ONE OR THE ALTERNATIVE.
WE WOULD PREFER THAT WE BELIEVE IT IS IN EVERYONE'S BEST INTEREST AT THIS JUNCTURE, WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL APPROVED WHAT IS BEFORE YOU DISC EVENING. WE BELIEVE THAT IS THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION. WE WOULD NOT PUT IN ALL OF THIS EFFORT IF THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. WE HAVE TRIED TO MAKE AS MANY CONCESSIONS AS WE CAN THE PROCESS.
IT MAY NOT MEET THE DEFINITION OF PERFECTION.
BUT IT IS CERTAINLY A GOOD PLAN, WILL DESIGN PLAN AND WE BELIEVE IT IS RIGHT FOR THIS LOCATION AND FOR THE CITY.
AND IT PROVIDES -- I KNOW IT IS 2.96.
IT PROVIDES A 4-ACRE PARK TO THE CITY AT A FANTASTIC LOCATION THAT I GO BACK TO MY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE I ALWAYS LIKE TO USE IT. I MEAN, THINK OF THIS, THIS IS NOT A PARK FOR THE PURPOSES OF ATHLETICS, WHICH IS -- GREAT.
THAT THE CITY HAS. THIS IS AN EDUCATIONAL PARK.
THIS IS FOR THE PURPOSES OF BRINGING CHILDREN SCHOOLCHILDREN OUT TO LEARN ABOUT THE EVERGLADES, TO HAVE INTERACTIVE DISPLAYS AND TO HAVE TRIPS INTO THE EVERGLADES.
IT IS A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO GET A LOCATION LIKE THIS, THE PURPOSES OF A CITY PARK.
WE BELIEVE IT WOULD BE A TRAGEDY FOR THE CITY AND THE RESIDENCE TO PASS ON THIS OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A PARK IN DISLOCATION AND THE BENEFITS THAT IT BRINGS TO CITY.
A VIGIL, IT BRINGS GATOR ACRES UNDER THE CITY REGULATION.
AND IT COMBINES THESE THREE PARCELS INTO A UNIFIED, COHESIVE PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT. NEXT SLIDE.
AND AGAIN, THIS IS A SLIDE WE SOUGHT LESS TIME.
THE COMPARISON OF THE TWO CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CAN OCCUR.
ONE INCLUDING GATOR ACRES AND THE CITY OF THE OTHER ONE THAT IS NOT INCLUDING GATOR ACRES AND THE CITY.
IT IS DEVELOPED UNDER THE COUNTY AUSPICES AND I'M NOT GOING TO GO TO ALL OF THE INDIVIDUAL ITEMS. WE JUST BELIEVE THAT IT IS A FAR BETTER PLAN FOR THE CITY AND FOR THE DEVELOPER, FOR EVERYONE CONCERN FOR THIS PROPERTY, PROJECT TO BE DEVELOPED IN THE CITY THE PLANT THAT IS PROPOSED BEFORE YOU DISC EVENING.
AS MENTIONED BY MR. EVANS, TOMORROW, WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE COUNTY COMMISSION WITH RESPECT TO THE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT. IF YOU APPROVE THIS THIS EVENING, THAT OBVIOUSLY PROCEEDS FORWARD TOMORROW.
SB COMMITTED TO THE CITY THAT WE WOULD DO ON THE TIMELY BASIS.
IF YOU SHOULD DECLINE TO APPROVE THE PROJECT THIS EVENING, THAT WOULD GET WITHDRAWN FROM THE COUNTY COMMISSIONER TOMORROW.
NEXT ITEM. AND AGAIN, THIS IS THE SITE PLAN THAT POTENTIALLY WOULD EXIST IF GATOR ACRES IS NOT DEVELOPED WITH THE CITY BUT IS DEVELOPED WITH THE COUNTY AND I THINK THAT THE SITE PLAN, WHERE TALK ABOUT AND SID AS WELL AS GATOR ACRES IS AN INFERIOR ONE TO WHAT IS BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING.
PURPOSIVELY -- WE BELIEVE THAT IS A TREMENDOUS ADVANTAGE TO DEVELOPING GATOR ACRES IN THE CITY AND TO HAVE ONE COHESIVE DEVELOPMENT OF ALL THREE PARCELS.
NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. THIS IS A JUST A PICTURE OF WHAT THE MULTIFAMILY PROJECT WOULD BE THAT WE HAVE PROPOSED WHAT I
DON'T WANT TO GO TO AGAIN. >> THAT IS IT.
>> OKAY. SO WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR APPROVAL DISC EVENING. AS I MENTIONED IN RESPONSE TO A QUESTION FROM MR. SROKA, SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY CONFUSION, IT IS AN ALL OR NOTHING SCENARIO AND THAT INCLUDES THE REZONING AND WE ARE DEALING WITH IF YOU WISH TO APPROVE IT, OBVIOUSLY, EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE APPROVED EVEN THOUGH I KNOW YOU HAVE TO VOTE ON EACH ITEM SEPARATELY AND IF YOU DON'T WISH TO APPROVE IT
[02:20:04]
WE RESPECT THAT ALSO BUT NOTHING SHOULD BE APPROVED.WE THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS YOU.
WE WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
>> MAYOR RICH WALKER: THANK YOU, MR. MOSKOWITZ.
SO OBVIOUSLY, YOU MADE IT CLEAR IN THE LAST OR THE TWO SLIDES AGO THE CHOICE THAT WE HAVE. OBVIOUSLY, THE DEVELOPER HAS THE RIGHT TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY THAT HE OWNS.
IT IS UP TO US TONIGHT TO DECIDE WHICH DIRECTION WE FEEL IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CITY. OPTION ONE IS WHAT IS PRESENTED HERE TONIGHT, WHICH IS 205 NON-AGE RESTRICTED FAMILY HOMES WITH A 3.96-ACRE PARK OR OPTION TWO WOULD BE 210 AGE RESTRICTED HOMES AND A POTENTIAL 50 TO 100 UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX.
WHICH WOULD NOT BE IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND.
IT WOULD CONTINUE TO BE IN UNINCORPORATED BROWARD COUNTY.
THOSE APARTMENTS WOULD OBVIOUSLY SERVICES WOULD CALL TO US TO SERVICE TO SOME EXTENT. AND WE WOULD NOT BE RECEIVING ANY OF THAT REVENUE FROM A TAX BASIS.
SO IN ESSENCE, THAT IS WHAT WE ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT TOO LATE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT DIRECTION WE WANT TO GO.
IS THERE ANYBODY WHO WOULD LIKE TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS?
>> ARE JUST HAVE -- I HAVE A BIT OF A PROCEDURAL CONTRARY.
-- QUANDARY. WE HAVE TO VOTE FOR A PLANT AND A SITE PLAN. KAITLYN HAS TOLD US THAT THE CITY HAS NOT DECEIVED AN UPDATED OR REVISED PLAT.
AND THE DRC AND THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, THEY HAVE NOT EVEN HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE 35 SOME ODD PLANS AND DOCUMENTS THAT THEY JUST WENT THROUGH AND GIVE COMMENT TO PUT PUPPET SO PUTTING ASIDE THE MERITS OF THE REVISIONS TO THE SITE PLANS, PUTTING ASIDE THE MERITS OF THE VARIANCES, FROM A PROCEDURAL STANDPOINT, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW WE VOTE ON A SITE PLAN AND A PLANT THAT OUR STAFF EITHER HAS NOT EVEN RECEIVED AS OF YEAH HAS NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO THE EXTENT THEY DID RECEIVE SOME OF THE MATERIALS JUST RECENTLY TO EVEN REVIEW THEM AND PROVIDE COME INTO THIS COMMISSION.
>> JUST AS A CHRISTIAN, THE REVISED PLAT WAS RECEIVED BY STAFF BUT I ACCEPT THE FACT THAT THEY MAY NOT HAVE REVIEWED IT YET. IT WAS ONE OF SEVERAL OF THE SHEETS THAT WOULD PUT UP ON THE SCREEN.
>> I THINK IT KAITLYN CAN ANSWER WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE RECEIVED IN A FASHION THAT HE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE ARE PLANNING PERSONAL REVIEW. FOX BET I RECEIVED THE SITE PLAN, THE OVERALL SITE PLAN. AND IF IT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE CITY, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED A
DISTRIBUTION FORM. >> THE REVISED PLAT, YOU MEAN?
>> CORRECT. OR THAT SUPPLEMENTAL SHEETS.
>> SO WE RECEIVED THE OVERALL PLAT JUST SUPPLEMENTAL SHEETS,
JUST SO I UNDERSTAND. >> I HAVE SEEN JUST THE OVERALL SITE PLAN SET OR THE OVERALL SITE PLAN SHEET.
>> THE ONE-PAGE SITE PLAN. >> CORRECT.
>> THIS GOES BACK. HOW CAN WE VOTE ON A REVISED PLAT AND A REVISED SITE PLAN PACKAGE WHEN THE ONLY THING ARE PLANNING DEPARTMENT HAS RECEIVED AND REVIEWED IS A ONE PAGE
REVISED SITE PLAN? >> I WILL REFER US TO ANTHONY.
BUT I WILL, I GUESS CAN SAY THE ORIGINAL SITE PLAN AND THE ORIGINAL PLAT, YOU REVIEWED. WHAT WAS CHANGED FROM THAT ORIGINAL ONE WAS THE REMOVAL OF FIVE UNITS AND THE ADDITION OF THE TRAFFIC FEATURES. IS THAT CORRECT?
>> CORRECT. THAT SUMMARIZES THE PLAN CHANGES THEMSELVES AND THE COBRA THE AMENDMENTS TO THE VARIANCE
REQUEST. >> WHICH WAS THE LOWER LOT
COVERAGE. >> AND THE REMOVAL OF THE POOL
RELATED SETBACKS. >> MAYOR RICH WALKER: WHICH HAVE
[02:25:01]
BEEN FROM -- WHICH HAVE BEEN FROM LOWER -- LATKOVIC.>> PRESUMABLY. >> MAYOR RICH WALKER: RIGHT.
>> I HAVE IN QUESTION ABOUT THAT, TOO.
THERE WAS A COMMENT MADE EARLIER THAT THE MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE FOR THAT 65-FOOT LOT WAS REDUCED FROM 60% TO 52% IN THE MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE FOR THE 50 FOOD -- 50T PUT LOTS WAS REDUCED TO 45%.
AND THE APPLICANT'S MISSION, THE REVISED SIPLIN APPLICATION SUBMISSION, PAGE 11, OR TO 49 SHOWS THEM BEING MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE OF THE CENTER TO% FOR BOTH.
>> MAYOR RICH WALKER: I THINK THAT IS A VERY GOOD QUESTION.
I WOULD ASSUME IN THE APPLICATION THAT YOU HAVE PICKED
THE MAX. >> I THINK THE APPLICANT WAS PROVIDING A POINT OF CLARIFICATION DURING THEIR PRESENTATION AND PERHAPS THAT WAS AN ADJUSTMENT THAT WAS MADE AFTER RESUBMITTIG THE VARIANCE APPLICATION WHICH I'M SURE THEY CAN PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL INSIGHT THERE.
>> MAYOR RICH WALKER: SO JEFFCO ACCORDING TO YOUR PLAN, 138 UNITS WHICH ARE THE SMALLER LOTS, WHICH WOULD BE A MAX OF 45% LOT COVERAGE. AND THEN THERE ARE 67 LARGER LOTS WHICH WOULD HAVE A MIX COVERAGE OF 52%.
IS THAT ACCURATE? >> THAT IS ACCURATE AND IF I MAY, TO PROVIDE SOME BACKGROUND, PRIOR TO THE MEETING, WE WERE AT THE 52%. WE HAD NOT MADE A DISTINCTION.
WE HAVE BEEN TALKING EARLIER AND MISS TUMA WAS LOOKING AT THE STUDIES THAT WERE DONE FOR SOME OF THE HOMES THAT ARE GOING TO BE ON THIS PROPERTY AND WE REALIZED THAT 52% WAS DRIVEN BY THE LARGER LOTS AND THE SMALLER LOTS COULD ABSORB THE MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE. AND AS A RESULT OF THAT, MR. MOSKOWITZ OFFERED THAT UP, I THINK THIS EVENING, AS FURTHER CONCESSION THAT WE COULD MAKE AND ADJUST.
MOMENT TABLES TO REFLECT DIVERSE -- DIVISION BETWEEN THE TWO DIFFERENT SIZED LAW. PRODUCED LOTS.
>> MAYOR RICH WALKER: WHEN YOU DID THE CONCLUSIONS OF THE SETBACKS, IT -- WORK BASED ON THE LARGER ON SKYPE SAID WHAT
YOU SAID -- >> GETTING INTO THAT MAXIMUM LOT SIZE, IT IS KIND OF APPLES AND ORANGES.
YES, IT HAS MORE TO DO WITH WHAT IS A REASONABLE SIZE WITH BLOOD
OR HOUSE. >> MAYOR RICH WALKER: RIGHT.
IT WAS 63 WITH AN 53 WITH. >> CORRECT.
>> DOES THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE FOR THE SMALLER LOTS AFFECT THE OF THE SETBACKS AND THEIR --
>> NO. AS I SAY, WE WILL BE HAPPY TO OFFER HOPE THE -- HELP ME OUT. 45% DOCUMENT LOT COVERAGE ON THE SMALLER LOT SIZES. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE BRINGING.
>> AND THAT IS 138 LOTS. >> CORRECT.
>> SO AS FAR AS VOTING, ANTHONY, IF WE WERE TO APPROVE WHO IS THERE ANYTHING THAT PROHIBITS US ON THE LEGAL SIDE FROM APPROVING THIS SITE PLAN WITHOUT STAFF HAVEN'T REVIEWED THE SUPPLEMENTAL PLANS ACCORDING TO KAITLYN YOU ONLY SAW THE SITE
PLAN, NOT THE PLAT PLAN. >> CORRECT.
WE HAVE SEEN THE SINGULAR SITE PLAN SHEET THAT WE WILL REFER TO AS THE OVERALL SITE PLAN. WE HAVE NOT SEEN THE REVISED PLAT OR ANY OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL SHEETS INCLUSIVE OF ENGINEERING
OR LANDSCAPE PLANS. >> MAYOR RICH WALKER: SO THEN
THERE'S TWO QUESTIONS. >> OKAY.
>> MAYOR RICH WALKER: IS THERE ANYTHING LEGALLY THAT PROHIBITS US FROM VOTING ON THAT PLAN AND I GUESS THE NEXT QUESTION WOULD BE TO THE COMMISSION UP HERE, HOW COMFORTABLE ARE YOU THAT VOTING FOR THE APPROVAL OF A PLAT PLAN WHEN THE STAFF HAS NOT
SEEN THE SUPPLEMENTAL PAGES? >> RIGHT.
I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT AND DECIDE PLAN RESOLUTION ITSELF BEFORE YOU TONIGHT, WE HAD A CONDITION PRIOR TO THIS MEETING.
WE WERE NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE GOING TO GET.
SO THERE IS A CONDITION THAT THEY HAVE TO HAVE IT UPDATED THROUGH WHAT THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL.
YOU COULD AT A SIMILAR CONDITION WITH RESPECT TO THE PLANT SO THAT THAT IS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH ANYTHING THAT YOU ULTIMATELY APPROVED TONIGHT.
WITH RESPECT TO THE DRC REVIEW. I WOULD MUCH MORE CONCERNED IF
[02:30:06]
SOME OF THESE THINGS WERE GOING THE OTHER WAY, IF THEY WERE INCREASING LOT COVERAGE, IF THEY WERE INCREASING THOSE ELEMENTS.BUT YOU MAY WANT TO, I DON'T KNOW I'M THE BEST PERSON TO TELL EXACTLY WHAT THE DRC WOULD BE LOOKING AT FOR THESE CHANGES.
YOU MAY WANT TO TALK TO STAFF ABOUT THAT.
BUT FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, YOU KNOW, WE COULD ADD THAT CONDITION TO THE PLAT, ITEMS SIMILAR LIKE WE HAD TO THE SITE PLAN TO MAKE SURE THAT ULTIMATELY, WHAT IS SUBMITTED WHEN IT IS SUBMITTED REFLECTS WHAT YOU APPROVE, SHOULD YOU
APPROVE THE PLAN. >> THANK YOU.
THE APPLICANT IS ACCEPTABLE WITH THE CONDITION OF APPROVAL THAT SAID THAT ALL THE -- ANCILLARY DOCUMENTS THE CURRENT CODES AND CURRENT REQUIREMENTS AS PER THE CODES OF PARKLAND.
JUST SO YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU DO A PROJECT LIKE THIS YOU KNOW, AS WE DID THE FOUR SEASONS. THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF ERRORS IN THE DRAWINGS, YOU KNOW? WHEN YOU GO TO BUILD IT WORKS GET TO REMEMBER, WE HAVE TO PULL THE ACTUAL WATER AND SEWER PERMITS.
WE HAVE TO PULL THE ACTUAL LAND DEVELOPMENT PERMIT.
YOU REVIEW ALL THESE DOCUMENTS AND YOU TWEAK THEM A LOT DURING THAT TIME BECAUSE YOU GO INTO GREAT DETAIL.
WE LIKE TO THINK WE GET THEM ALL RIGHT UP FRONT, BUT WE DON'T.
WE ARE OPEN TO THE APPROVAL THAT SAYS THAT IT MEETS THE STATED GOALS OF 205 LOTS AND FIVE LOTS ARE REMOVED AND THE OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
>> OKAY. >> SO -- I'M ASSUMING YOU ARE GOING TO DO PUBLIC COMMENT SOON.
I THINK SOMETIMES IT IS GOOD FOR US TO REFLECT ON WHERE WE ARE AT AND WHERE WE ARE GOING AND MAKE SURE THAT THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDS, YOU KNOW, THIS MEETING IS FOUR YEARS IN THE MAKING. SOMETIMES THINGS GET LOST LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW? FOUR YEARS IN THAT MAKING AND WE ALL HAVE DEAL FATIGUED AND WE ARE ALL TIRED.
AND YOU KNOW, I DON'T LIKE THIS DEAL.
I DON'T LIKE IT AT ALL. I THINK I'M -- I'M GIVING A WAY WAY TOO MUCH. AND THAT IS AN INTERNAL ARGUMENT. IT IS WHAT IT IS.
BUT I HAVE AGREED TO THE DEAL. AND I THINK IT IS A GREAT DEAL FOR PARKLAND. I MEAN, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE IF YOU WANT A PARK TO GET IT. THIS IS YOUR ONE AND ONLY CHANCE TO VOTE ON GATOR ACRES BECAUSE IF IT IS NOT APPROVED TONIGHT, WE WILL NEVER SEE IT AGAIN. THIS IS THE APPEARED NEXT MISS YOUR -- THIS IS YOUR CHANCE. NOW SOME OF YOU DON'T LIKE IT.
WE HAVE MADE IT VERY CLEAR YOU DON'T LIKE IT.
I DON'T LIKE IT EITHER. BUT THAT IS THE SIGN OF A GOOD DEAL. A GOOD DEAL IS MEANT NOBODY LIKES IT BUT IT IS THE BEST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT IS THE BEST FOR THE COMMUNITY.
IT IS THE REDUCED NUMBER OF UNITS BUT I THINK THIS DEPARTMENT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT OTHER CITIES WILL COME AND USE. IB, IF YOU DON'T APPROVE THIS, IF YOUR KIDS WANT TO GO TO EVERGLADES, THEY WILL BE PUTTING DOWN ON 95 GOING OUT THERE. THERE IS NO OTHER PLACE TO GET THERE. TO DO THESE THINGS.
I JUST THINK THIS IS THE BEST FOR ALL OF US AND I ASKED YOU TO REALLY THINK ABOUT THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO EITHER GET THIS PARK AND TO PRODUCE DENSITY. WE ALL KNOW, I MAY NOT GET 125 APARTMENTS. I MEAN OUR KID 80.
BUT I WILL GET A LOT MORE THAN THREE.
SO THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO REDUCE THE DENSITY.
IT IS MY CHANCE TO GIVE A PARK, YOU KNOW, ENTERED HAVE THIS P PARK, YOU KNOW, AND THEY CAN DO ALL THE THINGS THAT USED TO DO THAT WE CAN'T DO ANYMORE. SO AGAIN, I ASK ALL OF YOU TO SOME -- SOMETHING-4 YEARS AGO. I WAS TELLING THESE -- EVERYTHING BECAME BLACK AND WHITE.
WHEN TRUMP GOT INTO OFFICE, EVERYTHING WAS BLACK AND WHITE.
EVERYONE TAKES THESE POLARIZING POSITIONS BUT EVERYONE HAS TO HAVE IT THEIR WAY. THERE'S NO COMPROMISE BUT EVERYTHING IS THIS WAY ON OUR WAY.
THIS IS WHAT THIS IS. SOME OF YOU LIKE IT.
SOME OF YOU DON'T LIKE IT BUT I DON'T LIKE IT.
BUT I SIGNED UP FOR IT AND IT IS THE BEST FOR PARKLAND.
THERE IS NO ARGUMENT THAT THIS IS THE LEAST ENTITY AND THE WAY TO GET A PARK AND SOME MONEY, I GOT TO CLEAR THAT PARK.
I GOT TO PAY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR WETLAND MITIGATION.
[02:35:03]
THIS IS A GREAT DEAL. SO I BEG YOU TO SIT BACK AND SAY AFTER FOUR YEARS, IT IS NOT THE GREATEST BUT WE CAN ALL LIVE WITH IT. AND IT WORKS FOR THE CITY.THANK YOU. >> THAT BEING SAID, I'M GOING TO OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC IF ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC HAS -- COME ON.
YEAH CLICKED SIR? NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
>> PETER. WHEN 1294 NORTHWEST 72ND PLACE. I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD SPEAK TO YOU, IS OR SHOULD I SPEAK TO THIS GENTLEMAN BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU WERE THE COMMISSIONER. YOU ARE THE MIRROR OF THE CITY.
YOU REPRESENT AS. HE IS GOING TO TELL US WHAT IS THE BEST DEAL FOR US, FOR OUR RESIDENTS? I'VE BEEN CAUGHT SOMETHING HERE IS UPSIDE DOWN.
I HAVE ATTENDED THE ZONING AND PLANNING COMMITTEE AND THE SAME PRESENTATION BY THE DEVELOPER WAS DONE OVER THERE IN THE FORM OF ENTRAPMENT. NOW, THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY DID NOT FALL FOR IT AND THEY DID NOT APPROVE THAT.
THEY DID NOT SUPPORT IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT GIVES THEM THE RIGHT TO COME IN AND TELL US WHAT IS THE BEST DEAL FOR US.
WHAT YOU SHOULD APPROVED OR WHAT BROWARD COUNTY SHOULD APPROVE I THINK YOU ARE THE COMMISSIONER. YOU ARE THE MAYOR.
WHO ARE THE VICE MAYOR. MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS.
IF NO ONE LIKES THE DEAL, WHY WOULD WE SIGN THE DEAL? LET ME GO BACK TO WHAT I WANTED TO COVER.
THAT IS A LITTLE BIT MORE STRUCTURED THAN MOTIONS.
BUT THE MOTIONS ARE COMING FROM NOT BEING TIRED.
PARTIALLY BECAUSE THE KIDS GO TO SCHOOL HERE.
HE IS NOT BUILDING CONDOMINIUMS OR HOUSES.
BUT I DON'T GET TIRED. I'M NOT GOING TO GET TIRED BUT NEITHER SHOULD YOU BECAUSE YOUR KIDS GO TO SCHOOL HERE AND YOU LIVE HERE. OKAY.
SO LET ME JUST GET BACK ON TRACK.
I APOLOGIZE FOR MY EMOTIONS. BUT ANYWAY.
I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE HARDSHIP CONVERSATION AS DEFINED BY THE DEVELOPER. BUT TO ME, WHEN I LOOK AT THE JUSTIFICATION, THIS IS A SELF-CREATED HARDSHIP.
THE GATOR ACRES PARCEL WAS PURCHASED IN 2015 ACCORDING TO BROWARD COUNTY ASSESSORS OFFICE PART OF THE OWNER HAD FIVE YEARS TO ENACT THIS PARCEL TO THE CITY OF PARKLAND.
HOWEVER, YOU CHOSE NOT TO DO SO, TRIPPED INTO THE UNIQUE SERPENT TENSES OF PARCELS LOCATED IN DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS.
AND THAT IS IMPORTANT TO ADMITTING THAT THE PROPERTY TAKEN BY EMINENT DOMAIN IS LOCATED IN BROWARD COUNTY UNINCORPORATED BROWARD COUNTY BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER NEXT TO CITY OF PARKLAND. DMS AT OUR IS OUT OF PARKLAND JURISDICTION. WHY SHOULD WE CONSIDER THE HARDSHIP IF IT DOES NOT BELONG TO ROBERT AND IT DOES NOT COME TO PARKLAND. THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING, THE DEVELOPER HIMSELF STATED THAT THIS IS THE BEST PROPERTY IN PARKLAND. WITH SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES THAT HE CAN DO THAT HAS A WATER VIEW, HAS A VIEW OF THE EVERGLADES.
SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHERE THE MIX UP OF THE HARDSHIP COMES IN.
THOSE ARE HIS OWN WORDS. PLEASE DO NOT CONSIDER THEIR PROPER BUT ONE MORE FINAL THING. IN REGARDS TO THE 55 PLUS.
DR. STATED IN THAT MEETING THAT THE COMMISSIONER AT THE COMMISSION ADVISED HIM NOT TO LIFT THAT 558 RESTRICTION BECAUSE IT IS A BURDEN TO THE CITY.
YOU REPRESENT THOSE INDIVIDUALS FOR A REASON.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU WOULD ADVISE THE DEVELOPER THAT THIS IS A BURDEN TO THE COMMUNITY. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
WHO -- WHAT OLDER GROUPS ARE ECONOMIC BURDEN TO THE COMMUNITY? AND IF THAT IS WHAT WE ADVISE THE DEVELOPER WE SHOULD RETHINK THEIR POSITIONS BECAUSE TO ME, THIS IS NO STARTING CONVE CONVERSATION.
BUT THE REASON WHY I BRING THIS UP IS BECAUSE I'M A FATHER.
ABOUT THAT UP TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
THEY MESSED UP WITH THE NUMBERS AND I'VE HEARD YOUR COMMENTS IN REGARDS TO THE NUMBERS NOT BEING PRESENTED APPROPRIATELY, NOT BEING GOT THE APPLICATIONS, THE PLANS NOT BEING SUBMITTED ON TIME AND CLEARLY. SO IN REGARDS TO THE CALCULUS IS
[02:40:05]
TO MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL, OVERCROWDING, THE 1200 BUILDING AND YOU ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THE 1200 BUILDING., THAT IS INACCESSIBLE AND UNUSABLE, AS YOU KNOW, IT IS STILL INCLUDED IN THE CAPACITY CALCULATIONS.
THEREFORE, IT ALLOWS THE DEVELOPER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT TO BUILD ADDITIONAL HOUSES THAT ARE UNDER 55.
HOWEVER, THE BUILDING IS NOT USED AND WILL NOT BE USED BY THE HIGH SCHOOL. SO IF YOU REMOVE THE 1200 BUILDINGS, THE ACTUAL NUMBER IS 116% CAPACITY.
THAT IS HOW MUCH THE SCHOOL IS OVERCROWDED.
I'M NOT SURE IF ANYBODY VISITED THAT SCHOOL LATELY, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO THAT. IT DOES PLAY AN EFFECT ON THE STUDENTS, DEPARTMENTAL SAFETY, AND YOU DO HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO ADDRESS THAT. I'M NOT SURE IF YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THE PRINCIPAL BUT I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO THAT. THOSE 205 OR TEN HOUSES WOULD ADD ADDITIONAL STUDENTS THAT WILL HAVE TO BE PUT SOMEWHERE BUT YOU CAN'T SEND THEM AWAY TO EVERGLADES.
THEY HAVE TO BE PUT INTO THOSE HIGH SCHOOLS, AT THOSE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS.
WE ARE NOT ADDRESSING THE OVERCROWDING BUT YET WE ARE ADDING TO THE OVERCROWDING. I'M ASKING YOU TO PLEASE APPROVE THAT. CONSIDER THAT AND I'M NOT SURE IF THE GENTLEMAN IS THE BEST PERSON TO GIVE YOU AN ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. IS THERE ANY OTHER -- ANYONE ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK? I MEAN, JUST, I'M GOING TO SAY -- GO AHEAD.
>> THIS ONE IS FOR CAITLIN. WHAT DEPARTMENTS JUST FROM MY -- FOR MY EDIFICATION WORK BUILT OR APPROVED AFTER THE CHANGES IN
2019? >> THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY APPLICATIONS FOR THE PURITY DEVELOPMENT SUBSEQUENT TO THE
CHANGES. >> WE HAVE NOTHING TO COMPARE IT
TO VERSUS THE OLD STANDARD? >> IN TERMS OF THE DEVELOPMENT,
CORRECT. >> MEANING, I GUESS, COMMENSURATE WITH ALL OF THE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE NO IN OUR COMMUNITY, RIGHT? AND THE REASON I ASKED IF THAT IS BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IT, WHAT IT IS WE WERE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH, WITH THE CHANGES IN 2019, RECOGNIZING, I GET IT, THERE WAS ONLY A FINITE AMOUNT OF LAND LEFT TO BE DEVELOPED. BUT WHAT CAUSED THOSE CHANGES IF THEY HAVE NOT BEEN UTILIZED YEAH?
WHAT WAS THE RATIONALE? >> CAN I ANSWERED THAT AND ASK THE QUESTION AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE I HAVE KIND OF THE SAME CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS WITH THAT. SO IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING ONE OF THE ISSUES WAS DRAINAGE. THE HOMES WERE TOO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER. THERE WAS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE DRIVEWAY WHICH IS A CONCERN THAT I HAVE.
RIGHT NOW, THE PRD, HOW LONG DOES THE DRIVEWAY HAVE TO BE ESSENTIALLY? LIKE, AT THE NEW PRD?
IS THERE A FRONT SETBACK? >> THERE'S NO ESTABLISHED SETBACKS IN PRD. THERE ARE REQUIRED SETBACKS.
BUT IN TERMS OF THE FRONT YARD SETBACKS, I BELIEVE WE DID ESTABLISH MINIMUM BRIGHTLY WIDTHS TO ACCOMMODATE SOME OF THE LARGER VEHICLES. I BELIEVE IT IS LIMITED TO WITH.
I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE. >> MAYOR RICH WALKER: I THOUGHT ONE WAS LINKED. BECAUSE IT IS 25 FEET.
25 FEET, YOU CAN ONLY PARK TWO CARS.
UNLESS YOU BUY IN THE, TWO BEETLES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
MY DRIVER IS ACTUALLY 33 FEET LONG.
WHICH IS LONG. AND I HAVE A VERY DIFFICULT TIME FITTING THREE CARS IN MY DRIVEWAY.
SO IN THE -- IN THESE COMMUNITIES, WHAT A CREST, PARKLAND BAKER PARKLAND BAY IS A LITTLE BIT BUDGET AND WATERCRESS. THERE'S NOWHERE TO PARK YOUR CARS. YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE -- ONCE YOU GET A DRIVER IN YOUR HOME, YOU ARE NOW TRYING TO FIND THREE PARKING SPACES. IT IS NICE TO SAY WE WILL PARK ONE IN THE GARAGE OR TWO IN THE GARAGE.
BUT I KNOW I'M NOT THE NORMAL FAMILY WITH FIVE CHILDREN.
BUT THERE'S NOTHING GOING IN MY GARAGE, CERTAINLY NOT A CAR.
SO THAT IS A CONCERN OF MINE BECAUSE IF THESE ARE NON-AID
[02:45:02]
RESTRICTED HOMES TO WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO PARK YOUR 17-YEAR-OLD CHILD'S CAR? YOU ARE NOT.AND THAT IS WHAT I STRUGGLE WITH.
I HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS IN MSD RIGHT NOW.
I'M WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUES THAT MISTY HAS.
I HAVE A CHILD IN WESTGLADES WILL AWARE OF THE ISSUES THAT WESTGLADES HAS. I'M MINDFUL OF THE SCHOOL OVERCROWDING. BUT FOR ME PERSONALLY, I'M STILL TRYING TO STRUGGLE WITH PROJECT A OR PROJECT B.
I DON'T LIKE EITHER PROJECT. BUT IT IS WHAT IS THE BEST PROJECT FOR THE CITY OF PARKLAND.
MAYBE RIGHT. MAYBE WE ARE ON THE SAME PAGE.
MAYBE WE ARE NOT. WHAT IS THE CHARACTER? WHAT IS THE CHARACTER OF PARKLAND? THERE'S NOTHING AGAINST 55 PLUS ORDER AGE PEOPLE.
NOTHING AT ALL. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I HAVE REALLY ENJOY THE OTHER NIGHT AT THE TRICK-OR-TREAT, THE TRUCK OR TREAT, THE COBRA THOUSANDS OF KIDS -- THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF KIDS THERE. THAT IS WHAT I ENJOY ABOUT PARKLAND. MY KIDS HAVE WHEN THAT THEY CAN MADE. SCHOOLS THAT THEY CAN GO TO TYPICALLY STRUGGLE WITH SOME OF THE SCHOOLS THAT ARE OVERCROWDED. BUT YOU HEAR THAT EVERYWHERE.
DOES THAT MEAN WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO ADD NOT NECESSARILY.
BUT THOSE ARE QUESTIONS YOU HAVE TO ASK.
WHAT YOU KNOW, IS 55 PLUS A BURDEN? ABSOLUTELY NOT BIG BUT IT IS A DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHIC.
YOU HAVE FAMILIES. YOU HAVE 55 PLUS.
YOU HAVE WHATEVER. THERE'S DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHICS THAT YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER AND THAT IS WHAT I'M STRUGGLING W WITH, IS WHAT IS THE BEST FOR THE CITY OF PARKLAND.
AND THAT IS WHAT I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU GUYS.
>> I AGREE. I THINK THAT IS ALL OF OUR DECISIONS TO HAVE TO MAKE. TO GO TO THE SCHOOL ISSUE, THAT HAS BEEN TALKED A LOT LATELY AND HAVING AN E-MAIL FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD THAT SAYING THIS BUT THE REPORTS OF THE BUILDINGS STILL BEING INCLUDED IN THE CAPACITY CALCULATION.
THAT IS NOT AN ACTUAL STATEMENT. I'M HAPPY TO SURE THAT INFORMATION WITH YOU BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A MISNOMER THAT IS NOT ACTUALLY ACCURATE. SURE.
I WILL SEND YOU -- I'M HAPPY TO LOOK AT IT.
BUT EVEN SO, THE REASON I BRING IT UP IS BECAUSE SCHOOL IS IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US. IT IS A BIG PART OF PARKLAND'S DRAW. FOR AS MUCH AS WE HAVE THESE DECISIONS THAT ARE ABLE TO MAKE THE IMPACT, MOST OF THE DECISIONS WHY WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THE SCHOOL BOARD. AND.
AND WE HAVE OUR ABILITY TO ADVOCATE AND APPEAR BEFORE THEM BUT ULTIMATELY, THEY ARE GOING TO BE THE ONES WHO HAVE TO SOLVE THAT ISSUE AND WE CAN HELP TO THE BOARDROOM CONVERSATION OF WHAT SCHOOLS OR STUDENTS ARE ELIGIBLE TO GO WHERE BUT ULTIMATELY, YOU KNOW, I HATE TO SAY BUT I DON'T THINK THAT ADDING 200 HOMES AS OPPOSED TO THE 80 OR 100 HOMES ON THE OTHER SIDE OR THE OTHER PUZZLE IS GOING TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS OF THE EDUCATION OF OUR STUDENTS.
AND I SAY THAT WITH ALL DUE RESPECT BUT I THINK IF YOU ADD ANOTHER 100 KIDS, YOU ARE ASSUMING THEY ARE GOING O BE THE EXACT SAME AGE. THEY WILL BE SPREAD OUT AMONGST THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTARY, HIGH SCHOOL MIDDLE SCHOOL, ET CETERA.
BUT IT IS NOT AN INSIGNIFICANT. MECH EDUCATION IS WHAT IS PARAMOUNT FOR PEOPLE'S CONSIDERATION WHEN THEY MOVE TO THE PARKLAND. I ECHO WHAT THE MAYOR IS TALKING ABOUT. WE ARE AT A CROSSROADS.
THE DEVELOPERS MADE IT CLEAR THAT THIS IS THE FINAL AND BEST OFFER AND WE HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE OF DO WE WANT TO GO WITH SOMETHING THAT WE NEED -- MAY NOT BE THRILLED WITH OR PUTTING OUR FOOT DOWN AND TRYING TO MAKE A POINT AND IN MY VIEW, IT IS, YOU KNOW, CUTTING OFF YOUR NOSE DESPITE YOUR FACE.
THIS PARK THAT I THINK COULD BE UNIQUE TO THE CITY OF PARKLAND.
THIS IS WHAT WE DO. THIS IS WHAT WE ARE ABOUT AND WE HAVE HAD MANY CONVERSATIONS AND STRATEGIC PLANNING ABOUT LAND.
THIS CONVERSATION IS STILL GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
A CAR PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY UPSET THAT THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY THAT SOMEONE ALONG THE LINES DID NOT BUY THE GOLF COURSE WHEN THE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY. I HAVE HEARD THAT FROM NUMEROUS PEOPLE IN ALL DIFFERENT FACETS. WE ARE ONE OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES RIGHT NOW AND I WOULD HATE FOR US TO PASS IT UP ON SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, SOME AND EXPLAIN TO ME PERFECTLY. IF YOU WORK THAT THE BLINDFOLD YOU ARE MYSELF AND PARACHUTE ME INTO THIS DEVELOPMENT AND TAKE THE BLINDFOLD OFF, IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO DIFFERENTIATE
[02:50:03]
BETWEEN THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AND WATERCRESS, PARKLAND VACANT FOUR SEASONS. SO I UNDERSTAND NOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT THE CHANGES INTO THE PRD.BUT ULTIMATELY, THOSE GOALS I THINK ARE KIND OF TECHNICAL IN NATURE AND WHAT WE ARE FACED WITH RIGHT NOW IS A BIG PICTURE DECISION. I UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WHETHER NOT THEY FIT WITH WHAT THAT SPACE THE CRITERIA. I'M A LAWYER.
I COULD SIT HERE AND TELL YOU WHAT IT DOES NOT FIT THE CRITERIA. TO MAKE THAT IS NOT SEEING THE -- THAT IS A DECISION THAT IS BEING PHASED OFF TECHNICALITIES AS OPPOSED TO HAVING VISION WHICH IS ALL OF OUR DECISIONS AND ALL OF OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE WHAT WE BELIEVE IS THE BEST IN THE LONG-TERM INTEREST THOSE ARE THE COMMUNITY.
WITH THAT SAID, I OBVIOUSLY HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ONE OF WHICH I THINK IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE NOT BROUGHT UP YET.
I'M CURIOUS ABOUT IT. WE TALKED ABOUT WAS THAT LAWSUIT AGAINST BROWARD COUNTY CURRENTLY AND I'M TRYING TO THINK OF MYSELF, HE SAID THAT WOULD BE DISMISSED AS PART OF THE BENEFIT TO THE CITY BUT MY QUESTIONING, WHAT IS IT THAT ACTUALLY YOU GUYS ARE SEEKING THAT LAWSUIT AND IF WE WERE TO TAKE OVER THE PROPERTY, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT COULD BE ASSIGNED TO THE CITY AS SOME OPPORTUNITY TO WHERE A VALUE THAT YOU OTHERWISE ARE
WILLING TO WAIVE? >> WE WERE SEEKING DAMAGES TO THE GATOR ACRES AS WELL AS SOVEREIGN NSID.
IT CANNOT BE ASSIGNED. WE HAVE A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WITH BROWARD COUNTY THAT INVOLVES THE DISMISSAL OF THE LAWSUIT. THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT THE
CITY CAN BENEFIT FROM. >> OKAY.
I GUESS I HAVE TO CROSS THAT BRIDGE AND SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE ON THE TABLE. IS THERE ANY REASON THE ELEVATED PAPERS WERE NOT CONSIDERED A SPEED BUMP OR A SPEED PUMP?
>> A LOT OF CITIES, IT IS MORE PLEASING.
SOMETHING -- YOU CALL IT A SPEED TABLE WHEN YOU DRIVE ACROSS A SPEED BUMP, RATTLES YOU REALLY HARD.
THE SPEED TABLE FORCES SEVEN TO SLOW DOWN AND IT IS MORE GRADUAL AS FAR AS THE ABILITY FOR IT. AND IT IS MORE AESTHETICALLY PLEASING AND IT IS REPLACING THE OLD SPEEDBUMP OR TWO SPEED BUMPS IN A ROW. WE ARE DOING IT FOR OTHER CITIES AS PART OF THEIR IMPROVEMENTS TO THE STREETS.
>> IS IT A FUNCTION OF COSTS OR AESTHETICS?
>> IT IS MORE OF AESTHETICS. IT IS CHEAPER TO HAVE -- AND IN REALITY, I MEAN, THE ADDITION OF THE STOP SIGNS THAT HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE PLANS AND WE HAVE GOT PROBABLY FOUR OR FIVE MORE THREE-WAY STOP CONDITIONS. YOU ARE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE MORE RESIDENTS IN HERE AFTER THE FACT SAYING, WHY DID YOU REQUIRE THEM TO PUT THE STOP SIGNS AND HERE? SO -- BUT WITH BOTH OF THEM, IT IS GUARANTEED AND ALSO, IT IS LIKE, SO THEY ARE ELEVATED. THEY COULD BE MADE OUT OF EFTS FAULT. BUT THE FACT THAT WE ARE HAVING PAPERS WITH THE CONCRETE HEADERS IN THE QUICKER IT IS MORE AESTHETICALLY PLEASING. IT IS A LOT OF WHAT YOU SEE IN
THE OTHER COMMUNITIES NOW. >> AND A TRAFFIC ENGINEER AND CONSULTANT FOR THE CITY. TO ADD TO THAT, SPEED HOMES, IT IS NOT AN OPTION OF THE CITY OR THE CODE.
AND ACTUALLY, YOU HAVE IT ON YOUR SECTION.
140-10. YOU CANNOT USE THAT SPEED HOMES.
AND I. AND I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY, TOO, THAT WE -- WITH THE TABLES RIGHT NOW, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M SEEING THAT PRINT OUT I KNOW WHICH ONES ARE SPEED TABLES. IF THEY ALL ARE SPEED TABLES.
AND THEN STOP SIGNS WHICH YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO FOLLOW, THEY CANNOT BE USED AS TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICE.
SO WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST IS THAT THE COMMITMENT TODAY IS THAT THEY WILL BE PROVIDING THE PAVERS AND SOME OF THEM ARE GOING TO BE SPEED TABLES AND THE STOP SIGNS AND THE SIGNING RELATED ANY OF THE SIGNS IS -- SO THEY ARE GOING TO BENEFIT EACH OTHER BUT THEN WE NEED TO FOLLOW THE CRITERIA, THE STANDARDS IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH WHERE THE STOP SIGNS CAN BE PLACED. AS FAR AS THE SPEED TABLES NOT ALL OF THEM DON'T NEED TO BE SPEED TABLES.
BECAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE THAT YOU GET THE ACTIVITY THAT YOU GO UP AND DOWN TOO MANY TIMES AND ACTUALLY, EVERY TIME YOU HAVE A TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICE, YOU TEND TO HAVE THE OPPOSITE DESIRE SPEED PEOPLE TRYING TO MAKE UP FOR AT THAT SPEED THAT THEY LOST
[02:55:03]
AND THE TRAFFIC CALMING ALSO HAS AN IMPACT ON EMERGENCY VEHICLES.WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST IS THAT ALL INTERSECTIONS COULD BE USED AND LITIGATED WITH MARKERS AND BREAKS.
BUT NOT ALL OF THEM NEED TO BE SPEED TABLES AND THAT THE STOP SIGNS AND OTHER SIGNING IS GOING TO BE PER --
>> AND JUST TO ADDRESS THAT, I MEAN, THE STAFF DID REVIEW THESE PLANS IN DETAIL ORIGINALLY. THE ADDITION OF THE SPEED TABLE, THE ADDITION OF THE ADDITIONAL SPOT -- STOP SIGNS ARE BASED ON YOUR COMMENTS AND THE COMM COMMISSION'S REQUESTFORPROPOSAL HERE IS YOUR STEP, HERE ARE YOUR PAID CONSULTANTS TELLING YOU
THIS IS PROBABLY AN OVERKILL. >> I WANT TO CLARIFY, OUR STAFF REVIEWED THE INITIAL PLAN AMENDMENT TO THE P&Z.
THE STAFF RECOMMENDED NOT APPROVING THE VARIANCES.
WE GAVE FEEDBACK AND THIS IS THE RESULT OF THAT.
I WANT TO CLARIFY THAT. >> YOUR ENGINEERING STAFF DID
NOT READ THESE PLANS. >> AND RICH NEARING STAFF HAS
NOT EVEN HAD THE BACKUP. >> WE AGREE WITH YOU.
AND AGAIN, THE CONDITION OF APPROVAL COULD BE PUT ON THERE, THAT THE SPEED TABLES WILL MEET THE CODE THAT HE JUST SPILLED
>> I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS ON THE TRAFFIC BECAUSE I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS THINKING ABOUT HIS WATERCRESS AND OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL ALMOST TO A FAULT WITH THESE SPEED CAMERAS. YOU MAY EVEN FIND SOME SORT OF COMPROMISE THERE. BUT WHATEVER.
I WILL MOVE ON AND THAT POINT. OF THE QUESTION ABOUT THE WAIVER AND THE 24-HOUR GUARD HOUSE. WHAT IS THE ACTUAL SECURITY MEASURE? I SAW AN ALUMINUM DECORATIVE GATE. HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO MAKE SURE THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY ARE PROTECTED FROM THE PEOPLE IN THE PARK AND THE PEOPLE IN THE PARK ARE PROTECTED FROM PEOPLE IN THE
COMMUNITY? >> THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION.
>> I DON'T REMEMBER. BUT I THINK WE HAVE A FENCE ALONG THAT PROPERTY LINE. AND THERE'S A GUARD GATE -- THERE'S AN EMERGENCY ACCESS -- WHAT DO THEY CALL THAT PUTS THE KNOX BOX. IT ALLOWS -- OR THE FIRE AND RESCUE TO GET IN AND OUT AND FOR THE PEOPLE TO COME DOWN THAT ROAD BUT THEY CAN'T GET INTO OUR COMMUNITY.
SO WE COULD PULL UP THE SITE PLAN.
HE WANTED TO SHOW THEM WHERE THAT IS AT? YEAH, THAT FENCING, AND CHILDREN WORK AT THE GATE IS AT.
>> EVEN IF YOU WANT TO PUT IT UP, I'M SURE.
>> AND I THINK THE INTERNAL DEBATE WAS THE REASON WE LEFT THAT FENCING THERE IT WAS SO THAT OUT RESIDENTS, CHOOSE THE
BUT IT BEGS THE QUESTION. WHAT IS THE APPOINTMENT OF HAVING A MANNED SECURITY GUARDS IF PEOPLE CAN STILL PUBLICLY ACCESS DEPARTMENT BUT DON'T WALK INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD?
>> AND LET'S BE HONEST. THE CRIME RATE IN PARKLAND IS SOME OF THE LOWEST IN ALL OF THE AREAS.
>> IT IS THE LOWEST BECAUSE OF THE PROTECTIVE MEASURES WE HAVE
IMPLEMENTED. >> THE GUARD GATE TO BE IS NOT A DEAL KILLER. I WILL DO THAT.
JUST FEEL THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET TO REVISIT IT AS SOON AS THE H.O.A. GET TAKEN OVER AND THEY WILL COME IN.
>> I UNDERSTAND. >> THAT IS NOT A DEAL KILLER.
>> SAFETY IS SOMETHING WE ALL HAVE TO CONSIDER.
WHEN IT IS AT THE END OF LOXAHATCHEE AND THE FACT THAT THEY ARE ALL ON THE SAME ROAD, I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT LET'S SAY THERE IS AN EMERGENCY. LET'S SAY THERE'S A NEED TO EVACUATE OR THERE'S EVEN A CAR ACCIDENT RIGHT EAST OF WHERE THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS STOPS. I MEAN, HOW ARE WE CONTEMPLATING HOW THIS IS GOING TO EFFECT ULTIMATELY.
WHERE DO THE PRESIDENTS GO IF THERE IS AN ISSUE ON LOXAH LOXAHATCHEE? WHAT DO THEY DO?
>> LET ME JUST -- HOW IS THAT DIFFERENT FROM ANY DEVELOPMENT?
>> OTHER DEPARTMENTS -- WELL, I THINK SOME OF THEM HAVE INGRESS
OR EGRESS ON OTHER STREETS. >> NO.
FOR FOUR SEASONS -- >> DOES NOT HAVE ANY?
>> IF I COULD JUST ASK YOU TO SPEAK INTO A MIC SO THAT WE GET
IT ON THAT RECORD. >> ONE THAT MANY NEGOTIATIONS
[03:00:01]
THAT WAS DONE YEARS AGO. PARKLAND BAIT HAS TO PUT IN AN EMERGENCY ACCESS TO BISHOP PIT ROAD.THE PORT SIDE PLANT WAS CHANGED TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO.
WHERE IF YOU LOOK VERY CLOSELY, YOU WILL SEE FROM THIS ROUNDABOUT THERE'S AN EMERGENCY ACCESS TO BISHOP PIT ROAD SO THAT THE FIRETRUCKS CAN CUT THROUGH PARKLAND BAY AND GET TO FOUR SEASONS IN OUR PROJECT WITHOUT GOING ALL THE WAY AROUND. AND THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS THAT I WAS REQUESTED TO DONATE $100,000 TO HELP FIX BISHOP PIT ROAD SO IT WOULD BE A LITTLE NICER FOR THOSE EMERGENCY
THAT IS HELPFUL. I GUESS THE LISTING I HAD IS FOR I GUESS THE PARK. IT IS CURRENTLY CONTEMPLATED I SAW IN THE DESIGN FOR THE MULTIFAMILY UNITS AS THEY KIND OF PARKING LOT. I MEAN, HOW IS IT -- I GUESS THIS MIGHT BE FOR THE CITY TO DECIDE.
MAYBE CADEN COULD HELP ME. IS THIS SOMETHING WE COULD VISIBLY FIT A LARGE NUMBER OF CARS AND TRAFFIC? I KNOW IT IS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT SITE.
-- SIDES. IS THIS SOMETHING WE COULD ENVISION HAVING THE INFRASTRUCTURE BUILT TO WITHSTAND CAPACITY OF PEOPLE WANTING TO ATTEND THIS KIND OF
PARK? >> I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE CITY ENVISIONS IN TERMS OF THE PARK BUILD UP BEING MORE PASSIVE OR ACTIVE. IN TERMS OF ITS PROGRAMMING.
4 ACRES IS SUFFICIENT TO ACCOMMODATE SOME SORT OF PARKING. BUT IN TERMS OF THE BUILDUP AND THE ULTIMATE USE OF THAT PARK, WHETHER IT DARES STRUCTURES ON OR, AGAIN, WHETHER IT IS MORE ACTIVE OR PASSIVE IN NATURE, I'M
I MEAN, WE ARE TO BUT HAVING KIDS IN SCHOOL BUSES AND TWO TRIPS. AND I GUESS THAT IS UP TO US.
THAT IS PROBABLY MORE ABOUT QUESTIONED THAN ANYTHING.
THAT IS ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE FOR NOW.
>> ANYONE ELSE? COMMISSIONER BRIER? COMMISSIONER CUTLER? COMMISSIONER BRIER?
>> SIMEON BRIER: I HAVE A COUPLE COMMENTS.
BASED ON THE CALCULATIONS THAT THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED, THIS IS A SIZABLE PROJECT. 57 AND HAVE MILLION-DOLLAR PROJECT IF WE LOOK AT THAT LOT MOUNTS AND I AM CONCERNED AT THIS ADDRESS IS -- I CAN ASSURE THE RESIDENTS AND THE GENTLEMAN WHO SPOKE EARLIER THAT THIS BODY HAS ITS OWN VIEW OF WHAT IS GOOD FOR PARKING AND WHERE -- WE ARE RESIDENTS, TOO, WE HAVE CHILDREN, FAMILIES WHO. WE RAISED OUR FAMILIES AND ARE R CONTINUING TO DO SO. WE HAVE OUR VIEWS OF WHAT IS GOOD FOR PARKLAND. I AM CONCERNED THAT AFFECT AND I APPRECIATE THAT THE APPLICANT HAS COME FORWARD AND HAS MADE REVISIONS TO THE PARASITE PLAN TO ADDRESSED SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN READ BEFORE THIS COMMISSION.
BUT I AM CONCERNED OF THE I FEEL LIKE WE ARE ABOUT -- UP AGAINST AS MANY TETRA DEADLINE ON A LARGE VERY SUBSTANTIAL PROJECT AND WE DON'T HAVE THE BENEFIT OF JUST AS WE HAD OUR ENGINEERING CONSULTANT REVIEWING THE DOCS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED, PROVIDING FEEDBACK SO THAT WE CAN TO CONTINUE.
WE DON'T HAVE THE BENEFIT AS WE TALKED ABOUT OF THIS GOING BACK BEFORE THE DRC OR THE PLANNING AND ZONING.
AND WE ARE SHOEHORNING THIS VOTE IN FOR DOCUMENTS WE HAVE NOT EVEN RECEIVED AS OF YET IN SOME CASES.
TO ACCOMMODATE THE MANUFACTURED DEADLINE.
I DON'T BUY INTO THE FACT THAT THOSE DEADLINES, BE PUSHED OFF OR THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A DECISION MADE AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. I THINK THERE'S ENOUGH VALUE IN PROJECT A AND IN THE PROGRESS WE HAVE MADE FOR GOT NOT TO BE THE CASE. BUT I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THOSE ISSUES BUT I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT PUTTING ASIDE THE EXHIBIT -- THE EXCEPTION FOR NUMBER D ON WE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE REQUEST FOR THE EXCEPTION OR NUMBER -- OR LETTER G WHICH IS THE TWO LANES GOING INTO THE DEVELOPMENT.
WE WERE TOLD AS WE REVISITED THE SITE PLAN PREVIOUSLY THAT THERE ARE TWO LANES COMING IN. THEY ARE EACH 250 FEET.
THEY CAN FIT 11 CARS BUT WHAT IN SECTION G CAN THE APPLICANT NOT COMPLY WITH? I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THE APPLICANT HAS ASKED US TO WAIVE THAT OR MAKE AN EXCEPTION
AND WAIVE THAT REQUIREMENT. >> AND AGAIN, THAT IS NOT A DEAL KILLER IF YOU DECIDE YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.
WE WILL WORK WITH THE ENGINEER TO TRY TO WORK ON THAT? I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT FULLY EITHER BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE TWO LANES AND REPEAT WE JUST GOT TO PICK SOME SKIPPING IN THE CAR OR SOMETHING. THAT IS NOT A DEAL KILLER TO SPREAD. WITH RESPECT TO THE TIMELINES, THERE IS A TIMELINE. WE HAVE A LAND USE.
[03:05:02]
BROWARD COUNTY PAPER. AND IF THIS IS APPROVES, WE ARE WITHDRAWING IT. NUMBER TWO THERE IS ADEQUATE ANNEXATION THAT WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH OR WITHDRAW.AND THOSE ARE THE TIMELINES. >> LET'S ADDRESS THOSE TIMELINES. AND THE LAST MEETING THAT WE WERE TOLD THERE WOULD BE SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT PUSHING OFF THE COUNTY AGENDA ITEM. BECAUSE TO ALLOW FOR THIS AND WE EXTENDED THE DEADLINE ON THE ANNEXATION TO DECEMBER 10TH, I
BELIEVE. >> MAYOR RICH WALKER: RIGHT.
THE ANNEXATION IS NOVEMBER -- THE ANNEXATION GOES BEFORE THAT LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION IS THAT NOVEMBER 9TH OR NOVE
NOVEMBER 16TH? >> NOVEMBER 9TH.
>> NOVEMBER 9TH. THAT CANNOT BE PUSHED OFF.
IF WE MISSED THAT DEADLINE, THEN WE LOSE A YEAR.
>> WE TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT PREVIOUSLY, THE MAJORITY, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE PARK IS GOING TO BE DEDICATED TO PARKLAND. COULD THERE BE SOME INTERIM AGREEMENT ON HOW WE DO WITH THAT SINCE YOU ARE NOT GOING TO OWN DEPARTMENT AT THE END OF THE DAY ANYWAY.
AND COULD THERE BE SOME RESOLUTION?
>> BUT AGAIN, THAT MODIFICATIONS THAT WERE CHANGED WERE DONE AT THE REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION TO REMOVE FIVE LOTS AND ADD SOME PAPERS AND DO A COUPLE THINGS AND ON THE SCHEME OF THINGS, THEY ARE INCREDIBLY MINOR MODIFICATIONS AND WHILE THEY HAVE NOT HAD A DETAILED REVIEW ALL THEIR REDUCTIONS, THEY ARE ALL REDUCTIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS. AND A SIMPLE CONDITION OF APPROVAL IS THAT THEY MEET CURRENT AND PROPOSED ON ALL OF.
AND IT PROTECTS THE COMMISSION FROM ANY --
>> MY POINT IS THAT WE ARE NOT THERE YET.
IN MY VIEW. WE HAVE MADE CERTAIN -- YOU HAVE MADE CERTAIN CONCESSIONS. WE POINTED OUT A NUMBER OF ISSUES, THE LAST MEETING AND AT THE KINSEY MEETING THAT HAVE NOT
BEEN ADDRESSED. >> AND I'M NOT.
AND I RESPECT THAT YOU ARE NOT THERE YET.
AND I RACE. I HAVE GIVEN ALL I CAN GIVE AND RACE. -- -- WITH RESPECT TO THIS GENTLEMAN, YOU ARE RIGHT. YOU HAVE THE OPINION AS TO WHAT YOU WANT AND IT IS JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION.
THIS IS THE BEST DEAL FOR PARKING.
BUT IT IS YOUR DECISION. THIS IS YOUR DECISION, YOUR CHANCE TO CONTROL GATOR ACRES, YOUR CHANCE TO GET DEPARTMENT UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. LATER, ALL DEALS COME TO THE HEAD. THIS IS THE HEAD.
WE HAVE DONE THE BEST WE CAN DUPLICATE IF IT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH THAT YOU CAN SAY NO. BUT THAT IS WHERE WE ARE AT.
I'M SORRY. IT IS THE BEST I CAN DO.
I MEAN, I HAVE MY OWN FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS, BANKING CONST CONSTRAINTS, THE ANNEXATION ISSUE, THERE'S JUST SO MANY DIFFERENT ISSUES. SO THAT IS KIND OF WHERE I MET.
AND I DON'T LIKE SEEING THAT IT IS NOW OR NEVER.
I WILL LET -- >> BUT IT IS WHERE WE ARE AT.
I CAN'T DO ANYMORE. I'M SORRY.
I'M DONATING OR MILLION DOLLARS TO YOU GUYS.
I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THAT. SOMETIMES NUMBERS GET LOST ON A PAGE. BUT BUT SOMETIMES YOU HEAR IN THE BAR AND THAT DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING.
>> I APPRECIATE THAT. YOUR OWN NUMBERS, 57, IN THE
HABIT -- BASED ON THOSE NUMBERS. >> MY PROJECT WILL BE TO HUNDRED HOMES, PROBABLY BUILD OUT 157 MILLION, $158 MILLION.
IT IS A PROJECT AND IT WILL ADD TAX BASE AND REVENUE AND HAVE CHILDREN AND FAMILY. AND IT WILL GIVE YOU CONTROL OF ALL OF THE LAND IMPORTANT. BROWARD COUNTY, YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS. IF YOU KNOW -- DON'T KNOW IT FROM ME, YOU KNOW IT ALREADY. BROWARD COUNTY ONCE MORT WORKFORCE HOUSING. THEY WANT THAT WORKFORCE HOUSING AND THEY WANT IT IN PARKLAND. AND THEY WILL GIVE ME THE -- I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS 80 OR 90 WORK 100 UNITS.
YOU WILL GET THE 80 WORK -- AND YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET THE PARK. AND I DID FOUR SEASONS.
I'M NOT SAYING ACTIVE -- OTHER THAN WHAT IT IS.
IT IS A DIFFERENT STYLE OF COMMUNITY.
SO AGAIN, I APOLOGIZE THAT I CAN DO MORE.
I HAVE DONE ALL I CAN DO AND I THINK IT IS A FAIR DEAL FOR EVERYBODY. AND IF YOU DISAGREE, I RESPECT
YOU FOR IT. >> IF I COULD JUST ASK FOR MY OWN PET YOU KNOW, HE SAID WE ARE NOT QUITE THERE YET.
IS THERE A PLACE, IS THERE SOMETHING TO SPEAK ON THAT
[03:10:02]
BRINGS YOU TO A CLOSER PLEASE? >> I HAVE CONCERNS.
ABOUT THE DENSITY. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A DENSITY THAT IS LESS THAN 55 AND OVER COMMUNITY.
FAR GREATER THAN ANY OTHER COMMUNITY IN PARKLAND.
AND SO WE NEED TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.
ALL OF THESE ANALYSES HAVE ANALYZED THIS COMMITTEE IN COMPARISON TO THE NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES.
IF YOU DO THAT WITH ENTITY, WITH WATERCRESS AND PARKLAND BAY AND MAR-A-LAGO, YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT HAS A MUCH HIGHER LEVEL OF DENSITY. WHILE I APPRECIATE THE FIVE UNITS THAT HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT AND THAT GETS US A LITTLE CLOSER, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE ARE THERE YET AND I THINK THE DENSITY ISSUES SOLVE SOME OF THE OTHER ISSUES.
THEY ARE INTERTWINED. THE DENSITY ISSUES SOLVE SOME OF THE CLOUD COVERAGE ISSUES. SOME OF THE SUBJECT ISSUES AND SO IF WE CAN CONTINUE TO HAVE A DIALOGUE TO ADDRESS THAT, I THINK SOME OF THESE OTHER VARIANCES MUCH LIKE THEY DID WITH THE POOLS, THEY GO BY THE WAYSIDE.
>> IS THERE A DENSITY NUMBER THAT YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO
OFFER? >> I THINK IT IS PART AND PARCEL OF THE WHOLE PLAN. WHEN I LOOK AT THIS PLAN, I HAD THE SAME VISCERAL REACTION AS THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD DID AND THAT REVISIONS HELP A LITTLE BIT, BUT THEY DON'T SOLVE IT, WHICH IS IT IS TOO TIGHT. IT WILL COST.
CONGESTION WITH THE SIZE OF THE DRIVEWAY.
>> IT WILL CAUSE -- IT WILL HAVE A FIELD THAT IS DIFFERENT THE NATURE. -- IN NATURE THEN MANY OF THE OTHER COMMUNITIES. WE HAVE A MANUFACTURED NUMBER IN MY HEAD? NO, I HAVE A RANGE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TALK THROUGH WITH THE DEVELOPER ON POSSIBLY RESOLVING
THAT ISSUE. >> BOB MAYERSOHN: I WANT TO MAKE ONE COMMENT BUT I THINK WE ALREADY HAVE AN ANSWER, YOU KNOW, WE CAN TALK THEORETICALLY IN THE ABSTRACT ABOUT WHAT IS WE ALL WANT BUT UNLESS I MISHEARD YOU, IT SEEMS LIKE -- TREATMENT THAT IS WHAT I MEAN. MY --
JUST -- >> YOU -- I'M JUST GETTING.
>> MAYOR RICH WALKER: JUST TO CLARIFY WHAT I WAS ASKING.
COMMISSIONER BRIER, IF WE ARE AT THAT POINT, WHICH MR. TUTTLE IS SAYING WE ARE, IF YOU KNOW, COMMISSIONER BRIER IS TO PROVIDE GOT TO .55 AND IT IS FIVE MORE, IF THAT IS SOMETHING TO NEGOTIATE, NOW IS THE TIME OR IT IS NOT.
YOU KNOW? WE ARE EITHER GOING TO VOTE YES OR VOTE NO. OR WE ARE GOING TO SEE, LO, I COULD VOTE YES YOU DID THIS, THIS, AND THIS.
AND MR. TUTTLE IS SITTING HERE TODAY AND HE COULD SAY, NO.
OR HE COULD SAY, OKAY, WELL, I COULD DO THAT.
SO THAT IS THE ONLY THING I WAS TRYING TO GET WITH, YOU KNOW, TO SAY THAT IS IT. MAYBE THAT IS IT.
BUT IF YOU SAY, IF YOU TOOK THIS UNIT OUT AND THIS UNIT OUT, I WOULD BE HAPPY. MAYBE THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THE DEVELOPER IS WILLING TO DO. BUT I DON'T KNOW.
>> BOB MAYERSOHN: GOOD EVENING. THE REST.
THE ONE THING THAT YOU GUYS PUT UP IN A SUMMARY WAS THAT MAKING THIS UNIFIED, COHESIVE PLAN, WHICH I THINK THAT WAS THE GOAL FOUR YEARS AGO. REMEMBER WHEN MR. TOTAL CAME HERE AND WE TALKED ABOUT THE ANNEXATION OF GATOR ACRES, THE ISSUE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT AND I REMEMBER TWO THINGS WAS NUMBER ONE, ABOUT HAVING DEDICATED LANDFILL FOR THE EMERGENCY TABER AND MR. TUTTLE SAID, NO, NOT DOING IT.
THE OTHER ISSUE IT WAS ABOUT HAVING DEEP AIR BOAT RIDE GUY WHO WAS THERE AT THE TIME, WOULD HE BE DISPLACED? THE ANSWER WAS NOW. I'M GOING TO KEEP HIM AND LET HIM DO HIS BUSINESS. THAT AIRBOAT RIDE GUY IS NOT THERE. THAT IS THE FIRST THING.
WHEN YOU SAY, WHERE WE STARTED, WE ASKED.
DID NOT WANT TO NEGOTIATE AT ALL AND WE ARE ENDING UP WITH KNOW AIRBOAT RIDE GUY AND 300-FOOT TOWER.
MOVING ON FROM THAT, I WENT BACK AND LISTENED AND WATCHED THE MAL MEETING. SOME INTERESTING COMMENTS WERE MADE BY OUR STAFF AS WELL AS PLANNING COUNCIL MEMBERS AS WELL AS THE APPLICANT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I FOUND INTERESTING WAS MR. EVANS MADE A COMMENT TODAY.
WE ARE ASKING FOR WHAT YOUR NEIGHBORS HAVE.
WELL, WHEN WE WERE AT THE PLANNING COUNCIL AND I GUESS MICHELLE WAS MAKING COMMENTS AND I THINK COMMISSIONER CUTLER MAYOR WALKER AND MYSELF ALL MADE COMMENTS IS THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT THIS FROM A STANDPOINT OF COMPATIBILITY.
[03:15:03]
WHAT WAS PROPOSED ON THE SITE WAS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREAS. KIND OF THE SAME THING OF WE ARE ASKING FOR WHAT YOUR NEIGHBORS HAVE.YOU GUYS WANTED TO BUILD SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT COMPATIBLE TO PARKLAND. PUBLIX I KIND OF FIND IT DISINGENUOUS THAT YOU SAY YOU WANT WITH OUR NEIGHBORS HAVE WHEN YOU CAME IN INITIALLY AND WAS ANNEXED IN AND SAID, WE DON'T HAVE A PUBLIC DURING THE AGE RESTRICTED AND COMING BACK AND SAYING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE THE AGE RESTRICTION.
I'M NOT REALLY SURE HOW HONEST AND I GUESS I USE THAT WORD INSINCERE. YOU ARE NOT TRYING TO WORK TOGETHER. THE OPEN SPACE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT. YOU SAID WE HAVE THE COVERAGE OF OPEN SPACE. DOES NOT INCLUDE THE DEDICATED PARK? I THINK THAT IS MY QUESTION.
OKAY. DEDICATED PARK THAT YOU'RE INCORPORATING INTO YOUR AREA. IN OTHER WORDS, YOUR DEVELOPMENT. CONSIDERING AS A PARTNER BUT YET
IT IS OUR PARK. >> THE CODE ALLOWS US TO --
>> I'M JUST SAYING, AGAIN, TO ME, THAT IS DISINGENUOUS OF OPEN SPACE. IT MAY MEET THE REQUIREMENT, BUT TO ME, IT BECOMES DISINGENUOUS. THE VALUE OF THE LAND THAT YOU ARE GIVEN, THE 300 OR 3 MILLON PRICE TAG FOR THE HOMES.
IS THAT WHAT YOUR PROFIT IS, OR IS THAT WHAT -- WHAT IS THAT
VALUE BASED UPON? >> $200,000 A LOT.
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY GOING PRICE. I BELIEVE IT PAID SIMILAR VALUE FOR A PARK THAT YOU RECENTLY PURCHASED.
>> THAT IS WHAT THE COST IS. >> WE PAID 200,000 -- 300,000 AN
ACRE. >> THAT IS WHAT THE COST IS.
>> AND ALSO,. >> FOR CLARITY PURPOSES TAKE THAT THERE'S THE WETLANDS THAT WE'D HAVE TO BUY 300,000 AN ACRE FOR THAT WETLAND MITIGATION CREDITS AND WE HAVE TO CLEAR THE LAND. SO IF YOU ADD ALL THOSE COSTS AND LOOK AT THAT CHART, 104 MILLION DOES IS A VERY CLEAR NUMBER. ABOUT ANOTHER WAY TO LOOK AT IT IS IS THAT YOU DO REJECT THIS AND WOULD GO TO THE COUNTY AND THE APPROVED 60 TOWNHOMES OR 80 APARTMENTS OR WHATEVER THEY ARE GOING TO APPROVE, THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY IS EASILY WORTH FOUR $5 MILLION. SO DO YOU AGREE THAT IT IS WORTH
45 MILLION? >> I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS WORTH. I MEAN, MY POINT IS THAT YOU PAID $650,000 INITIALLY. WHAT YOU COULD SELL IT TOMORROW FOR KIT YOU COULD SELL IT F FOR 4000000 OR 650,000.
IT IS YOUR PROPERTY. I DUNNO WHAT IT IS APPRAISED F FOR. I DON'T KNOW.
NORMALLY WENT TREATMENT AND BOUGHT THE BEASLEY PROPERTY, WE HAD IT APPRAISED. WE HAD AN EVALUATION OF LET IT APPROXIMATELY COST AND WE SAID, IT IS A FAIR DEAL.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT APPRAISAL IS.
I'M NOT SOLD PERSONALLY GETTING BACK TO THE DEPARTMENT BUT I'M NOT PERSONALLY SOLD ON DEPARTMENT.
AND AGAIN, I MAY BE THE ONLY WENT UP HERE ON THE DAIS.
BUT TO ME, WE ARE SUBSIDIZING THE DEVELOPMENT.
WE ARE NOT NECESSARILY SUBSIDIZING THE.
TALKING ABOUT THE ABILITY TO SEND KIDS THERE, WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT LOXAHATCHEE ROAD BEING A DANGEROUS ROAD.
NOW WE ARE PUSHING KIDS DOWN THERE.
INITIALLY WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THIS AT THE ISSUE WAS, I WAS EVEN THINKING OF MAYBE FAU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THE PARK AND USING IT AS A SPACE FOR THE EVERGLADES.
RELAXING ALL OF THE TRAFFIC THAT IS GOING TO WIN DOWN THERE IS GOING TO BE ENORMOUS. SO WE ARE KIND OF SAYING WE WANT A PARK, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT OUR FUTURE COST IS.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE COST TO BUILD IT IS.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MAINTENANCE IS BUT WE DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, ANY OF THESE IMPACT FEES ARE RECURRING COSTS AND YET WE ARE WILLING TO BUY A PIECE OF LAND THAT WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE VALUE IS. AGAIN, BUT IT UP AT THE ANNEXATION. I WOULD BE HAPPY WITH THE INITIAL CONTRIBUTION OF 900,000 OR A MILLION.
>> 900,000 WITH THE PROPOSED -- RAPOSO.
>> I WOULD BE HAPPY WITH THAT. WOULD BE ABLE -- CREATE LESS DENSE -- LESS DENSITY. FOR ME, I'M NOT, AGAIN, THE IDEA OF DOING A MULTIFAMILY COMPLEX WORKFORCE HOUSING COMPONENT, I'M FINE WITH THAT. I MEAN, BROWARD COUNTY HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT WORKFORCE HOUSING FOR IS GOOD.
IT DOES NOT SCARE ME TO HAVE WORKFORCE HOUSING.
THESE ARE YOUR TEACHERS, YOUR FIREFIGHTERS, YOUR PROFES
[03:20:04]
PROFESSIONALS, YOUR, NURSES, THESE ARE PROFESSIONALS THAT CURRENTLY LIVE IN THIS COMM COMMUNITY.AND HAVEN'T THAT WORKFORCE HOUSING, I THINK ENCOURAGES THAT AND ALLOWS TO SUPPORT THOSE INDIVIDUALS.
TO MAKE IT THAT IS NOT AN ISSUE. TO ME, THE THING IS THIS BECOMES FROM MY STANDPOINT A COMMISSION DECISION THAT THE COMPELLING REASON THAT I THINK WE NEED TO VOTE THIS DOWN AND GO BACK TO THE VARIANCES. EVERYBODY IS WATCHING.
RESIDENCE, THE COUNTY, DEVELOPERS.
THIS DECISION TUGS ON OUR CREDIBILITY AS A GOVERNING BODY.
I'M NOT HERE TODAY TO JUDGE HOWELL ANYBODY VOTES.
YOU GUYS ARE ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES AND FRIENDS AND I'M NOT TRYING TO PERSUADE YOU ANY WHICH WAY.
BUT ARE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD HAS ADVISED US TO DENIED THAT VARIANCES. I'M NOT GOING TO GO GET INTO THE SPECIFICS OF ALL OF THOSE. OUR OWN STAFF, THE CAITLIN -- YOU ARE STILL RECOMMENDATION IS TO DENY THE VARIANCE.
>> RECOMMENDATION REMAINS THE SAME FOR DENIAL.
>> DENIED THAT VARIANCES. SO THAT MIKA -- TO ME, APPROVING THOSE VARIANCES STEMS FROM HAVE A CODE AND WE ARE CHOOSING TO IGNORE IT. TO ME, THAT IS THE CREDIBILITY OF WHO WE ARE AS A COMMISSION, MAKING THAT STATEMENT TO SAY, LOOK, I APPRECIATE WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.
PUBLIX THEY HAVE SEVERAL OPTIONS AS I SAID.
I'M NOT SOLD ON THE PARK. THEY CAN TAKE THAT AND UTILIZED LARGER LOT SIZES. AS I SAID, I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT IS ON THE LOT SIZE MORE SO THEN THE SETBACKS.
I THINK WHEN WE CHANGE THE CODE, THAT WAS ONE OF MY CONCERNS.
GOING BACK TO LOOKING AT KNOW OFFENSE TO JORDAN, WATERCRESS, YOU SEE ONE HOME YOU KNOW, TWO-STORY HOMES NEXT TO THE OTHER. TO ME, AESTHETICALLY, IT IS NOT PLEASING. AND THAT IS WHY I THINK THIS CODE IMPROVES WHAT PARKLAND IS LIKE.
WE ARE NOT ONLY UNFORTUNATELY NOT THE CURRENT DEVELOPMENT WE HAVE BUT FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. I THINK IT IMPROVES IT.
LIVING ON THE EAST SIDE OF PARKLAND, I MEAN, I LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, COUNTRY ESTATES, I MEAN, THERE ARE HOMES ON A LOTS.
THEY ARE NOT SCREECHED IN TOGETHER.
I LIVE IN A COMMUNITY WHERE IT IS ZERO LOT LINE, YOU KNOW? I'M NOT -- I MEAN, I MOVED THERE.
BUT 27 YEARS LATER OR 25 YEARS LATER GOT YOU LOOK AT YOU THINGS CHANGE. SO TO ME, THIS BASICALLY DEALS ON OUR CREDIBILITY. AND I'M NOT SOLD OR COMPELLED TO VOTE FOR SOMETHING JUST BECAUSE I'M WEIGHING ONE VERSUS THE OTHER. AND TO ME, THIS IS OUR CHANCE AS A GOVERNING BOARD TO MAKE A STATEMENT IN THE STATEMENT TO ME IS NOT WHAT WORKS FOR PARKLAND OR DOES NOT WORK BECAUSE THEY BOTH COULD WORK. BUT TO ME, IT IS THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THEM FUTURE DEVELOPERS COMING IN AND TRYING TO NEGOTIATE WHAT THEY WANT AND WE WILL GO, OKAY, GO AHEAD, WHATEVER YOU WANT. THAT IS WHERE I'M AT.
>> OKAY. WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS THAT AND THIS IS THE DILEMMA I HAVE. SEVERAL COMMISSIONERS WANT A PARK AND YOU DON'T WANT DEPARTMENT.
THAT IS ONE THAT -- >> SHOW ME THE MONEY.
>> SO MAYBE THAT IS IN NEGOTIATION I CAN MAKE BIG.
WE HOLD BACK -- GO BACK TO THE SITE PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED, THAT WE HAD SUBMITTED, WHICH WAS THOUGHT TO HUNDRED TEN LOTS, AND I WRITE YOU A CHECK FOR A MILLION DOLLARS.
SO THAT YOU HAVE THAT MONEY TO DEVELOP DEPARTMENT.
THREE WANTED BUT OTHER COMMISSIONERS WANT A BIGGER PARK. SO I'M KIND OF, YOU KNOW? MAYBE YOU GUYS CAN BUILD A CONSENSUS OF THAT BALANCE.
>> I THINK THIS IS A HEALTHY DIALOGUE.
I WANT TO PUT UP WORK WITH THE VICE MAYOR LEFT OFF.
THE POINT ABOUT THE TRAFFIC COUNT WRITE? YOU ARE SAYING WE ARE BUILDING A PARK.
LET'S BE HONEST. WITHIN NEIGHBORHOOD AND AN APARTMENT BUILDING, IT WILL STILL BE AT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC. I'M IN, DEPENDING ON HOW THIS.
IS UTILIZED BUT NOT NECESSARILY THE FIRST KIND OF COMPARISON.
WHETHER IT IS DEVELOPMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL OR WHETHER IT IS A PARK THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE TRAFFIC EITHER WAY.
I DON'T THINK THAT IS GOING TO CHANGE THE FOCUS.
PUBLIX HE SAID EVERYBODY IS WATCHING HER PAPA AND I AGREE WITH THAT. I THINK WHAT IS IMPORTANT ABOUT THAT COMMENT IS THE FACT THAT THERE'S ONLY WHEN REALLY OTHER PARCEL OF LAND ABUTTING OUR CITY THAT IS NOT WITHIN OUR CITY AND IT IS UNINCORPORATED BOUNDED, WHICH WE KNOW IS OUR GOOD FRIEND OVER AT HENDRYX FARM. NOW, WHEN YOU SAY EVERYBODY IS WATCHING AND THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE COMMISSION.
[03:25:03]
>> CREDIBILITY, I SEE IT DIFFERENTLY.
I SEE IT AS THAT IN WHEN WHO IS GOING TO BE POTENTIALLY DEVELOPING THAT HENDRYX PROPERTY WHEN THAT TIME COMES IS GOING TO LOOK AND SEE, HOW WILLING IS THE CITY TO WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER VERSUS THE DECISION TO SAY, WELL, I THINK YOUR POINT WAS, THIS IS NOT WHAT IS BEST FOR THE COMMUNITY IT IS NOT FOLLOWING THE CREDIBILITY OF THE VARIANCES.
A DEVELOPER IS GOING TO IN UP JUST SEEING, WHY WOULD I ANNEX THIS LAND IF BROWARD COUNTY IS GOING TO GIVE ME SOMETHING I WANT? WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF COMNG TO PARKLAND? AND I SAY THAT SOMEWHAT RHETORICALLY. THAT IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO CONSIDER AND NOT JUST BECAUSE WE APPROVED THE VERY INSTANT THAT MEANS WE AUTOMATICALLY SET A PRECEDENT THAT WE HAVE TO APPROVED VARIANCES ALL THEIR EFFORTS.
THIS PROJECT ON THIS CASE BY CASE BASIS BECAUSE THIS IS A UNIQUE SITUATION. WE ARE AT A DOOR NUMBER ONE ORDER NUMBER TWO AND IF WE STAND ON PRINCIPLE AND WE SAY, WE DON'T THINK THAT VARIANCES FIT THE CRITERIA, WE CAN DO THAT.
BUT I DON'T SEE THAT. THAT IS MAKING A DECISION ON WHAT IS BEST FOR THE PEOPLE. WE ARE MAKING A DECISION BASED OFF PRINCIPLE AND THAT RECENT POST THE PLANNING AND ZONING AND OUR STAFF HAVE NOT APPROVED THESE VARIANCES IS BECAUSE THAT IS -- THEIR JOB IS TO REVIEWED THE TECHNICALITY ASPECTS OF IT AND IF IT DOES NOT FIT, DOES NOT FIT.
THAT DOES NOT THE FRAMEWORK WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LOOKING AT THROUGH. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LOOKING TO A DIFFERENT POLICY DECISION WHICH IS BASED OFF OF THE BOOK THAT -- BUT STILL MAKING A MUCH BIGGER DECISION AND RECKON I THINK THAT ARE THESE VARIANCES GOING TO MAKE OR BREAK PARKLAND? ARE THEY GOING TO CHANGE? HE SAID IT YOURSELF.
YOU SAID WATERCRESS IS NOT AS AESTHETICALLY PLEASING.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIVE THERE. YOU ARE STILL LIVING IN A COMMUNITY WHERE YOU SAID IT IS ZERO LOT LINE.
YOU HAVE TO THANK, ARE WE MAKING A DECISION BASED OFF OF WHAT I THINK IS GOOD FOR ME MYSELF? OR ARE WE MAKING DECISION BASED ON WHAT IS GOOD FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE CITY? AND, YOU KNOW, I GET IT BUT THIS IS A TOUGH CONVERSATION AND I GET IT THAT THIS IS ONE OF THOSE DECISIONS THAT WILL BE LOOKED BACK ON PROBABLY 20 YEARS FROM NOW, 50 YEARS FROM NOW.
IT WILL BE SAID, ONE THIS WAY, BUT IT COULD HAVE GONE THAT WAY AND NO ONE KNOWS FOR SURE WHICH ONE IS THE BEST WAY TO GO.
BUT I CAN TELL YOU IS GETTING A MILLION DOLLARS AND STILL HAVING THE DEVELOPMENT TO ME, YOU KNOW, THE LAND AT A CERTAIN POINT NEXT, DOES NOT EVEN ABOUT A MONEY CONCEPT ANYMORE.
AT SOME POINT, IT JUST BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO GET MORE LAND.
YOU KNOW? ONCE IT IS GONE, IT IS GONE.
WE WON'T BE GOING TO BUY IT BACK.
I DON'T THINK HE WILL BE SELLING THE PROPERTY 20, 50 YEARS FROM NOW. AND PRESLEY FOR ME, I THINK WE ARE COMING TO AN END HERE OF THE CONVERSATION.
I THINK I KNOW, WHERE MOST EVERYONE FALLS.
BUT THIS IS A DECISION THAT GOT YOU KNOW, AND PEOPLE WANT TO MOVE INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS SMALLER OR NARROW DRIVEWAYS AND IT IS NOT HAVE AS MUCH GREEN SPACE, THAT IS THEIR PREROGATIVE. IF PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO MOVE THERE, THAT IS UNFORTUNATELY TO HIS DETRIMENT.
IT IS NOT TO OUR DETRIMENT. IT IS NOT GOING TO HURT US AT ALL. BUT THE PARK AND HAVING THIS OTHER FACILITY AND IT IS NOT ABOUT I'M SCARED OF WORKFORCE HOUSING. THAT IS NOT THE POINT BUT HAVING A FOUR STORY BUILDING AT THE END OF LOXAHATCHEE IS JUST SO NOT IN TUNE WITH THE REST OF THE COMPATIBILITY OF THE CITY AT THE YOU KNOW, WHATEVER YOUR THOUGHTS ARE ON WORKFORCE HOUSING, IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE. SO FOR ME, I'M IN, I HAVE KIND OF REACHED THE END OF MY DECISION TO MATRIX.
I HAVE DONE ENOUGH THINKING. I DO THINK THAT WE COULD PROBABLY DO AWAY, IF YOU ARE SAYING IT IS NOT A DEALBREAKER ON THE TWO LANES, I WOULD ASK FOR THAT AS PART OF THE PROPOSAL. WITH THAT, I'M READY TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE WITH THOSE CHANGES.
>> BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR MOTION, CAN I JUST SEE IF THERE'S ANY OTHER, I DUNNO IF I HAVE CLOSED PUBLIC COMMENTS.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE I GET THAT DONE.
AND WE CAN GO BACK TO TALKING. OKAY.
THERE'S NO MORE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK? I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR NOW FOR GOOD AND WE WILL FINISH OUR COMMENTS AND WE WILL LET VICE MAYOR RESPOND TO YOU COMMISSIONER ISROW. AND THEN BEFORE WE MAKE THE
MOTION. >> JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS.
ON THE FOUR STORY BUILDING, WE DON'T KNOW IF IT IS GOING TO BE A FOUR STORY BUILDING. NOTHING IN THE COUNTY.
THE COUNTY HAS NOT APPROVED ANYTHING.
THEY HAVE NOT APPROVED WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE GOING -- YOU KNOW, HOW MANY UNITS THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE MR. TUTTLE ON GATOR ACRES. THEY HAVE NOT APPROVED A SITE PLAN. THEY MAY SAY, LOOK, WE WILL GIVE YOU 70 UNITS WORK 100 UNITS. BUT WHEN YOU PUT UP YOUR FOUR STORY BUILDING, WE ARE NOT APPROVING THAT.
WE DON'T LIKE THE SITE PLAN. SO WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. THEY ONLY HAD WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING. THAT IS NUMBER ONE.
AS FAR AS TRAFFIC, I CAN AGREE THERE'S STILL GOING TO BE TRAFFIC BUT MY POINT IS THAT WE ARE NOW BRINGING SCHOOL AGE
[03:30:06]
CHILDREN ON BUSES THAT THIS COMMISSION, THE COMMISSIONS US HAVE CONSTANT HE SAID GOING DOWN LOXAHATCHEE ROAD ON A SCHOOL BUS IS NOT THE MOST OPPORTUNE THING THAT WE WANT TO DO.AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO BUILD A DEPARTMENT WHICH WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE COSTSS GOING TO LOOK LIKE BUT WE ARE GOING TO NOW SAY, KIDS, IT IS OKAY GIVEN THAT WE SAID BEFORE, WE DON'T WANT YOU GOING DOWN IT, IT IS OKAY TO BRING THE SCHOOL BUSES DOWN. WHICH, TO MAKE A IS -- I DON'T WANT TO SAY DISINGENUOUS. BUT AGAIN, IT IS CONTRADICTORY TO WHAT WE'VE ESTABLISHED BEFORE ABOUT NOT WANTING TO BRING THEM
DOWN. >> MAYOR RICH WALKER: IF I COULD MAKE A QUICK COMMENT ABOUT LOXAHATCHEE LOXAHATCHEE IS GETTING WE WORKED ON -- IN 2022. SO I WOULD LIKE TO HOPE WHEN THAT WORK IS COMPLETE WE ARE NOT HAVING THE SAME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT LOXAHATCHEE THAT WE HAVE BEEN HAVING FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS. OTHERWISE THE WORK WE'RE DOING IS FOR NOTHING. I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING AND I AGREE. LOXAHATCHEE IS NOT A GOOD ROAD.
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE IMPROVEMENTS WE ARE GOING TO MAKE ON LOXAHATCHEE WILL CERTAINLY HELP THAT DRAMATICALLY, WHETHER OR NOT MAKES IT THE SAFEST ROAD IN PARKLAND IS YET TO BE SEEN. BUT LOXAHATCHEE IS GOING TO START CONSTRUCTION IN 2022. SO AS A COMMUNITY, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE ONE OF THE BIG ISSUES STARTED TO GET RECTIFY IN A YEAR
AND A HALF. >> AS I SAID, I CAN AGREE WITH THAT AND UNDERSTAND. WE ARE HOPING FOR IMPROVEMENT BUT IT DOES NOT INCREASE THE TRAFFIC FLOW AS FAR AS WHAT -- BIDEN UP THE LENS. IT MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT SAFER SO ANYONE WHO FALLS ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL IS NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO? THE OTHER SIDE.
>> AND THERE ARE STILL PARTS OF LOXAHATCHEE THAT DON'T HAVE THAT MEETING AND IT IS JUST ADDING, IN THE, SOME BY LANES AND MAYBE SOME LANDSCAPING. PORTIONS OF THAT ARE NOT
NECESSARILY GOING TO -- >> MAYOR RICH WALKER: I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT --
>> RIGHT. >> MAYOR RICH WALKER: IT IS GETTING WORKED IN 2022. IT WILL BE AN IMPROVED ROAD.
WE CAN HAVE THAT ARGUMENT SOME OTHER TIME.
COMMISSIONER BRIER? >> BOB MAYERSOHN: NOBODY HATES LOXAHATCHEE WASN'T ME. I HOPE THAT RENOVATION PROJECT WILL ADDRESS SOME OF THE SAFETY CONCERNS.
I HAVE A BIGGER ISSUE AND DISCUSS BACK TO THE DIALOGUE THAT WAS GOING ON BETWEEN VICE MAYOR AND COMMISSIONER ISROW.
MY ISSUE IS THERE ARE SOME TWEAKS I WOULD LIKE TO CONNECT TO THE PROJECT, NO DOUBT. AND SOME OF THE CONCESSIONS THAT MR. CHARLES SAID HE WOULD AGREE TO TERMS OF KEEPING THAT MANNED GUARD GATE, ADDRESSING THOSE ISSUES.
WE ARE RUSHING A -- ON THAT LAND VALUE ALONE, ACCORDING TO THE MEMBERS, 57 AND A HALF MILLION-DOLLAR LAND VALUE.
HE SAID IT IS $150 MILLION PROJECT.
WE ARE RUSHING 150 MILLION-DOLLAR PROJECT OVER THE THREAT OF GOING TO THE COUNTY TO GET IT REZONED.
ON A 4.9-ACRE PARCEL OF LAND. IMAGINE WHAT SOMEONE AND I THINK THIS GOES TO THE VICE MAYOR'S POINT.
SOMEONE WATCHING THESE MEETINGS FIVE YEARS FROM NOW, IF THEY ARE IN CHARGE OF THE TOTAL LAND WILL DO WITH THE THREAT OF GOING TO THE COUNTY ON A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT IS THOUSANDS OF ACRES. ON THE HENDRIX PROPERTY AND THE PIECE OF PROPERTY. MY BIGGEST CONCERN WITH ALL OF
THIS IS NOT NEGOTIATING. >> IT IS NOT, WE ARE CIRCUMVENTING OUR POLICIES. WE ARE EXCEPT TEMPTATION CIRCUMVENTING THE PROCESS AND WE ARE EXPEDITING IT WITHOUT HAVING EVEN THE VERY BARE-BONES OF DOCUMENTS IN FRONT OF US TO MAKE A DECISION. AND WE ARE GOING THAT UNDER THE INSPECTOR OF A THREAT TO GO TO THE COUNTY UNDER 4 ACRES OF LAND. AND THAT IS THE BIGGEST ISSUE I HAVE. I DON'T BUY THE THREAT.
I DO BELIEVE THE WEEKEND WORK OUT AN ARRANGEMENT.
I WOULD HOPE WITH MR. TUTTLE ED ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT. I AM IN FAVOR OF THIS PROJECT VERSUS THE POTENTIAL ALTERNATIVE BUT I DON'T FEEL WE ARE THERE.
WE ARE SORT OF HORSE TRADING AND SINK IT IS NOT 52% ON SMALLER LOTS. WE WILL GIVE YOU -- 25%.
AND WE WANT TO GET RID OF NUMBER G AND D.
WELL, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GO TO PROPER PROCESS? AND THAT IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM I HAVE.
AND I THINK THAT WAS THE COMMENTS I THINK PNC AND OUR STAFF ENVISIONED THIS COMING BACK IN A PROPER FASHION AND IF WE DID NOT HAVE THESE OPERATORY SORT OF SELF-CREATED DEADLINES WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO THAT AND I JUST FEEL THAT WE ARE RUSHING THROUGH THIS TO SATISFY THAT WE ARE AVOIDING THE THREAT.
[03:35:08]
>> I ACTUALLY AGREE WITH EVERYTHING IMMERSING, BUT I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE CLARIFIED WHICH IS THAT THE FACT THAT THIS IS BEEN GOING ON FOR 4 YEARS.
IT WAS THE CITY OF PARKLAND WHO CALLED THE DEVELOPER BACK TO THE TABLE AFTER THEY DECIDED THEY WERE GOING TO GO TO BROWARD.
I BELIEVE THAT IS WHAT WAS SAID AT THE LAST MEETING?
>> THAT IS 100% CORRECT, AS THE RECIPIENT OF THAT PHONE CALLS.
BUT THIS IS NOT AN ARTIFICIAL DEADLINE.
THIS WAS A DEADLINE THAT WAS CREATED BY THE VIRTUE OF THE FACT THAT THEY GAVE US IS -- AND UNLESS I'M MISTAKEN AND HE CAN SPEAK FOR HIMSELF THAT HE IS SAYING THIS IS IT.
HE HAS REACHED THAT ENDPOINT AND WE ARE STILL NEGOTIATING HERE BUT TO ME, IF THERE'S A REQUEST AND I GUESS THIS GOES TO THE MAYOR'S DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH THAT YOU THINK THIS IS WHAT IT WANTED TO GET IT DONE TONIGHT LET'S PUT IT ON THE TABLE BECAUSE OTHERWISE, IF WE SAY, I'M NOT READY AND IT IS AN ARTIFICIAL DEADLINE, I'M GOING TO TAKE MY BALL AND I'M GOING TO PLAY ELSEWHERE. WHAT HEAVILY -- HAVE WE ACCOMPLISHED? AND TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
DON'T LOSE AN OPPORTUNITY. >> WELL, I HAVE BEEN A PART OF THIS PROCESS. YOU HAVE BEEN A PART OF THIS PROCESS FOR A FEW MONTHS, NOT FOUR YEARS.
I HAVE HAD A SITE PLAN IN FRONT OF ME FOR THE TWO TREATMENTS.
NOT FOUR YEARS. I HAVE HAD A REVISED SITE PLAN IN FRONT OF ME FOR PROBABLY 24 HOURS BUT I STILL DON'T HAVE A REVISED PLAT OR THE BACKUP DOCUMENTS PART THE NOTION THAT THIS HAS BEEN A FOUR-YEAR PROCESS MAY BE THE CASE.
BUT AT LEAST TWO OF THE COMMISSIONERS ON THIS PANEL, IT HAS BEEN A COUPLE OF MONTHS. OR LESS.
AND SO THAT IS MY CONCERN WITH RUSHING.
IN TERMS OF HASHING IT OUT, I'M WILLING TO STAY HERE ALL NIGHT AND HASH IT OUT. BUT I'M TOLD I HAVE GIVEN YOU ALL I CAN GIVE. HE HAS NOT SAID, COME BACK -- COME BACK TO MEET WITH A REVISED DENSITY.
ASKING FOR CUL-DE-SACS INSTEAD OF THE BRICK PAVERS THAT ARE ENGINEER IT SAYS MAY NOT BE A GOOD IDEA.
HE HAS NOT SAID, LET'S CONTINUE TO HASH OUT THE REMAINING ISSUES THAT OUR STAFF HAVE RAISED ISSUES WITH.
HE SAID, THAT IS IT. THIS IS ALL I'M GOING TO GIVE.
>> YOU CAN STILL ASK. >> LET'S GET CLOSE TO THE TWO UNITS OF THE ACRES. LET'S ADDRESS SOME OF THE SUBJECT ISSUES. LET'S FIX THE ENERGY AND WE MAY
HAVE SOMETHING TO WORK WITH. >> I WOULD GO BACK AND ASK THIS REQUEST. I'M ASKING.
LET'S FORGET THE PARK. AND I HAVE HEARD WHAT EVERYONE WANTS UP HERE. LET'S FORGET THE PARK.
IF YOU WERE TO GIVE US A SITE PLAN WITHOUT THE VARIANCES, HOW MANY HOMES WOULD YOU GET? LET'S BE VERY CLEAR.
IF YOU DENY THIS, WHICH I HOPE YOU DON'T, YOU WILL SEE A SITE PLAN OF 60 DAYS, 225 AGE RESTRICTED HOMES.
THAT WILL BE TOWNHOUSES AND 50S AND 40-FOOT LOTS.
>> BUT AGE RESTRICTED? >> AGE RESTRICTED.
BUT YOU PRESENTED THAT PLAN. >> YOU CAN VOTE TO REMOVE THE AGE RESTRICTION ON THAT SITE PLAN IF YOU CHOOSE TO WITH NO VARIANCES. BUT THERE WILL NOT BE GATOR ACRES PARKING. THIS IS YOUR ONE TIME AND I HATE TO DO ULTIMATUM'S. THEY ALWAYS SUCK.
BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS, IT HAS BEEN FOUR YEARS.
I DID A SITE PLAN. WE WERE DOING THE AGE RESTRICTED. WE WERE DOING THE COUNTY AND I STOPPED LOST HUNDREDS OF THOUSAS OF DOLLARS TO TRY AND MAKE A DEAL WITH YOU. AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE -- I HAVE DONE -- IF YOU GOOGLED ME, I HAVE PROBABLY DONE MORE TO LAND DEVELOPMENT DEALS IN SOUTH FLORIDA TEN ANY OTHER LAND DEVELOPER AND EVERY DAMN DEAL ENDS UP LIKE THIS.
YOU AGREE TO LET THEM AND YOU VOTE AND THAT IS HOW THEY ALL GO. AND LIKE I SAID, THEY ARE NOT A DEAL KILLER ON THOSE TWO OPTIONS.
I'M WILLING TO WAIVE THOSE. BUT THIS IS WHERE WE ARE AT.
THIS IS WHERE WE ARE AT. I CAN'T GET TO WHAT YOU WANT.
THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. IT IS NOT GOING TO GET CUL-DE-SACS AND IT IS NOT GOING TO GET TWO UNITS TO A.
IT IS A GREAT SITE PLAN. IT LOOKS IDENTICAL TO ALL OF THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. IT GETS YOU A PARK IF YOU WANT DEPARTMENT. IT GETS YOUTH APARTMENT BUT I GREET WITH THE MAYOR. THEY ARE UPGRADING THE ROAD AND PUTTING BEGINS MOST OF IT. THIS IS A GREAT DEAL FOR THE
[03:40:01]
CITY. AND THIS IS THEIR CHANCE TO GET DEPARTMENT AND REMEMBER, YOU ARE NOT APPROVING ANYTHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WAS APPROVED AT PARKLAND BAY AT FOUR SEASONS, AT ALL OF THE OTHER COMMUNITIES. IF THE CODE HAD NOT CHANGED, THERE WOULD BE NO VARIANCES. AND LET ME THROW OUT ANOTHER THING THAT, AGAIN, I ASK YOU TO CONSIDER BECAUSE I KNOW YOUR MINES ARE VERY SOLID BUT CONSIDER THIS.WHEN THEY ASK US TO ALL OF THE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS OF THE PRD CODE AND WE PUT EVERY SINGLE ONE IN PLUS SOME.
AND THE MAIN REASONS FOR THE PRD CODES WAS THAT DRAINAGE AND THE ISSUES AND OUR SETBACKS ARE BIGGER THAN PARKLAND BAY.
THEY ARE BICKERTON FOUR SEASONS. THEY ARE BIGGER THAN ALL OF THE IN OUR COMMUNITIES. SO WHILE I UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE THAT WE ARE SITTING HERE BECAUSE THE PRD CODE CHANGED AND ARE GOING TO FIND ANY DEVELOPER WHO IS GOING TO HAVE EVERY TOUGH TIME BUILDING TO A 35-FOOT% LOST -- LOT COVERAGE.
THAT IS GOING TO -- THAT IS GOING TO STOP ANYONE FROM TAKING THE HENDRIX PROPERTY AND ANNEXING IT.
YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WITH THAT LOT COVERAGE, YOU CAN'T BUILD A HOME THAT ECONOMICALLY IT MAKES SENSE IN TODAY'S LAND AND PARTLY. THAT IS THE COLD HARD FACTS.
BUT THEN WE GET BACK. SUMMERS AGAIN.
YOU GET A PARK. YOU GET ALL OF THE DRAINAGE.
YOU GET BIGGER SETBACKS. THEY ARE NOT AS BIG AS THE NEW PRD CODE, BUT THEY ARE BIGGER THAN THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. YOU ARE GETTING MONEY.
YOU ARE GETTING ALL OF THE THINGS THAT -- AND I THINK IT IS A GOOD DEAL AND I ASK YOU TO APPROVE IT BECAUSE IT IS THE BEST THING FOR THE CITY. THIS COMMISSIONER SAID, 20 YEARS FROM NOW, WHEN THERE'S NO PLAN TO BUY, SOMEWHAT WILL SEE, I
WISH WE HAD THAT LAND. >> MIRACLE CAN BE HERE -- POINT. TO COMMISSIONER BRIER.
I RESPECT THE FACT THAT YOU WERE TO COAX FOUR YEARS, TWO YEARS AGO BUT NOT MEET MENTIONED HISTORY SINCE I WAS INVOLVED FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS. I STOOD BEFORE THIS COMMISSION ASKING -- THAT WAS WHAT WAS BEING DISCUSSED. WHICH THE COMMISSION WAS NOT INTERESTED IN. WHEN I RECEIVED THOSE PHONE CALLS TO COME BACK TO THE TABLE, I SAID, WE WILL NOT COME BACK TO THE TABLE UNLESS WE ARE GOING TO GET -- AND THAT WAS ACCEPTABLE TO THE PEOPLE I SPOKE TO IN THIS CITY, THAT WE WOULD, THREE. SO TO SAY NOW YOU WANT TO CLOSE THE TWO UNITS TO THE ENCRYPTION GOES AGAINST -- WE WOULD NOT BE HERE TODAY IF SOMEONE HAD SAID WE WANT TWO UNITS TO A.
WE WOULD NOT BE HERE TODAY. WE WOULD NOT HAVE COMMENCED THESE NEGOTIATIONS AND SPENT THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF.
THREE UNITS TO THE AIRCRAFT WAS WHAT WE SAID WAS ABSOLUTELY A REQUIREMENT. I APPRECIATE THE FACT YOU ARE HERE. YOU WERE NOT A PART OF THAT.
I UNDERSTAND THAT COMPLETELY. BUT NEVERTHELESS, THE CITY WAS A PART OF THAT. AND THE CITY COMMISSIONER IS A PART OF THE CITY. ALL I'M SAYING IS IF THAT WAS SET A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, WE WOULD NOT BE HERE TODAY.
>> I CAN TELL YOU AND I APPRECIATE THAT AND YOU HAVE A LONGER HISTORY WITH THIS THAN I DO FOR SURE BUT I CAN TELL YOU FROM MY FIRST MEETING AND I MET WITH MR. TUTTLE TWICE KEPT MY VERY FIRST CONCERN EXPRESSED TO HIM WAS THE DENSITY.
I NEVER SAID I WAS OKAY WITH THREE UNITS TO THE EQUIPMENT MY OTHER CONCERN WITH HIM WAS YOU WERE ASKING TO GIVE AN AGE RESTRICTION AND ADDING 11 VARIANCES AT THE TIME, I THINK IT WAS AND WE TALKED THROUGH SOME OF THEM AND SOME OF THEM I DID NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH AND SOME OF THEM I DID.
BUT THERE HAVE BEEN COMMENTS MADE IN BOTH THE P&Z AND THESE FORMS THAT THE COMMISSION CAME AND TOLD ME THIS AND WHILE, TO YOUR POINT, MAY HAVE BEEN SOMEWHAT IN THE CITY.
I DIFFERENT SET THAT 55 AND OVER IT WAS A BURDEN.
I NEVER SAID I WOULD AGREE WITH THREE UNITS PER ACRE.
MY POINT THAT IN THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE PROCESS, THEY HAVE BEEN VERY TRANSPARENT.
>> MAYOR RICH WALKER: COMMISSIONER CUTLER WE HAVE NOT HEARD FROM YOU TONIGHT. ARE YOU DONE TO COMMISSIONER?
>> KEN CUTLER: I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TAKE IN ALL OF THE WISDOM. ON BOTH SIDES, ON ALL SIDES.
THIS IS A HARD DECISION. THIS IS A TOUGH ONE.
IT IS TOUGH FOR YOU AND IT IS TOUGHER FOR US AND IT HAS BEEN A LONG, HARD FOUR YEARS, TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT.
AND I THINK I MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE ONE GUILTY OF SAYING THAT I WANTED TO HAVE A PARK OUT THERE BECAUSE I THINK IT IS THE RIGHT
[03:45:02]
PLACE TO HAVE A PARK AND MANY YEARS BEFORE YOU EVEN GOT INVOLVED, THAT AREA WAS A REAL RECREATIONAL PLACE FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE OVER MANY YEARS ENJOYED GOING UP THERE AND I STILL THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA FOR US TO HAVE A PARK OUT IN THAT AREA. I ALSO THINK THAT IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US AS A CITY TO BE ABLE TO MAKE DECISIONS AND HAVE THE ABILITY AT THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS AND IF YOU LET LAND GO TO THE COUNTY CLERK THOSE DECISIONS ARE GOING TO GO AWAY. WE CAN GO AND WE CAN ARGUE WITH THEM ALL YOU WANT, BUT I HAVE CALLED OUT TO SOME OF THE COMMISSIONERS IN BROWARD AND ASKED THEM ABOUT THIS ISSUE.AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT YOU DON'T THINK THAT BROWARD COUNTY COMMISSION IS GOING TO BE FAVORABLE TO THE CITY OF PARKLAND IN MAKING THEIR DECISIONS ON LAND USE BECAUSE THEY HAVE THEIR OWN WORLD OF IDEAS ABOUT HOW THEY WANT LAND TO BE USED. AND IT IS NOT LIKE IT WAS IN THE OLD DAYS WHERE WE HAD THE OLD BROWARD COUNTY COMMISSIONER SAYING IF YOU HAVE A PIECE OF LAND THAT IS UNINCORPORATED IN ANY AREA THAT IS SURROUNDED BY CITY PLAN, WE WANT THE CITY TO IMMEDIATELY ANNEX THAT LAND BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO DO ANYTHING WITH IT, OKAY? THOSE DAYS ARE GONE.
FOR NOW IN A SITUATION WHERE WE HAVE GOT IT DEVELOPER BEFORE US WHO HAS COME TO US AND, YOU KNOW, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THIS IS YOUR BEST AND GREATEST DEAL.
TAKING YOUR FOOTBALL AND WALKING AWAY.
>> I HATE ULTIMATUMS. >> RIGHT.
>> MY LAWYER CHARGES ME BY THE HOUR.
AND HE IS ABOUT TO TAKE HIS FOOTBALL.
>> YEAH. >> THAT IS THE NASTY LAWYER THAT
CHARGES BY THE HOUR. >> ACTUALLY JUST GOT MORE
EXPENSIVE. >> THIS IS THE DEAL.
>> SO HAVING SAID THAT, AND LISTEN, I HAVE HEARD ALL OF YOUR CONCERNS. NORMALLY ON THE FIRST GUY TO JUMP IN AND START TALKING BUT I WANTED TO HEAR WHAT EVERYONE HAD TO SAY. I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THE PROBLEMS THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE FACED WITH ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
NO MATTER WHAT DECISION WE MAKE TONIGHT, THERE IS GOING TO BE UNHAPPY PEOPLE. THERE ARE GOING TO BE UNHAPPY PEOPLE BECAUSE WE DECIDE TO TAKE AWAY THE 55 PLUS.
WE WILL BE BRINGING MORE FAMILY AGE KIDS INTO THE COMMUNITY.
WHICH MEANS THAT THE SCHOOL OVERCROWDING ISSUE IS NOT GOING TO GO AWAY UNLESS WE CAN PERSUADE THE SCHOOLS TO CHANGE THE BOUNDARIES AND PUSH SOME OF THE KIDS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN CORAL SPRINGS THAT ARE GOING TO OUR SCHOOLS BACK TO THE THREE HIGH SCHOOLS THAT THEY HAVE IN THEIR CITY AND PUT SOME OF THOSE LIMITATIONS IN PLACE. AND TRUST ME WHEN I TELL YOU, MY WIFE HAS BEEN IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM FOR 17 YEARS.
SHE WAS ON STAFF AND BOB KNOWS VERY WELL WE WERE AT MEETINGS UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT ON BOUNDARY ISSUES TREND TO FIGURE ALL THAT STUFF OUT SO THAT WE COULD GET THE KIDS THAT LIVE IN APARTMENT GOING TO SCHOOLS THAT ARE IMPORTANT AND OF COURSE, THAT IS THE MAIN CONCERN AND A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ALL OF US BECAUSE NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE, I MOVED HERE IN 1997 AND THE REASON I MOVED HERE IT WAS BEFORE THE SCHOOL AND THAT IS THE SAME REASON THAT EVERYONE ELSE MOVES HERE.
RECUT OF THE GREATEST SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTY AND THE BEST TEACHERS IN THE COUNTY AND, YOU KNOW, THIS CITY HAS PRIDED ITSELF ON THOSE SCHOOLS. WE HAVE PRIDED OURSELVES ON SERVING OUR COMMUNITY AS BEST WE CAN BASED ON THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF KIDS IN THESE SCHOOLS AND IN OUR HOMES AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHEN I WEIGHED THESE THINGS, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE BUT WHEN I WE MET THESE THINGS, EMMA QUINN STEPPED LET THE COUNTY COME IN AND TAKE CONTROL OF THAT PIECE OF LAND AND DO WHATEVER IT IS THAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO? WERE IN MY GOING TO GET THAT FOUR ENCRYPTION PARK OUT OF THERE THAT THEY BE IT WILL SIT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.
MAYBE WE WILL GET TO BUILD A MUSEUM OUT THERE AND ALSO A PLACE LOOK AND WE CAN HAVE KIDS COME AND BE EDUCATED ABOUT THE EVERGLADES AND TO ALL OF THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE USED TO HAVE WITH THEIR BOAT RIDES AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF, MAYBE.
BUT I THINK THAT THAT DECISION IS THE BEST DECISION FOR THE PEOPLE OF OUR CITY, GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WE ARE FACED WITH RIGHT NOW. AND AGAIN, AS BOB SAID, HOWEVER YOU VOTE, WHATEVER YOU THINK IS BEST IN YOUR MIND AND IN YOUR HEART FOR WHAT IS BEST FOR OUR CITY, THE BEST DECISION, I'M NOT GOING TO DISRESPECT YOU FOR THAT.
THERE ARE LOTS OF DIFFERENT WAYS WE CAN GO INTO THIS.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, MY OPINION IS THAT WE SHOULD
[03:50:01]
CONTROL THE PROPERTY. WE SHOULD BE THE WORDS IN THE DRIVER'S EAT. AT NOT LET THE COUNTY COME IN AND DO WHATEVER IT IS THAT THEY WANT TO DO AND HAVE GOT YOU KNOW, THEM MAKE DECISIONS FOR US.SO THAT IS KIND OF MY THOUGHT. >> MAYOR RICH WALKER: IF I CAN SAY ONE MORE THING. TALKING ABOUT THE SCHOOL.
THIS PROPERTY IS NOT GOING TO TIP THE SCALES IN OUR SCHOOLS.
THAT IS ALREADY HAPPENING. WE NEED TO ADDRESS THE SCHOOL ISSUE REGARDLESS OF WHAT THIS PROPERTY IS.
STOPPING THIS COMMUNITY IN EITHER DIRECTION WILL NOT SOLVE THE SCHOOL PROBLEMS. WE HAVE TO TALK TO THE SCHOOL BOARD THAT WE HAVE TO ADDRESS THE SCHOOL ISSUES TODAY.
BECAUSE OUR POPULATION IS YOUNG. YOUNGER FAMILIES ARE MOVING IN.
SO THE SCHOOL ISSUE IS NOT GOING AWAY, REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENS WITH THIS PROPERTY. SO IT IS IMPERATIVE FOR US AS A COMMUNITY THAT START GETTING TOGETHER AND UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS WILL NOT BE EASY, BUT IT IS ONE THAT WE NEED TO START ADDRESSING. REGARDLESS OF WHAT DECISION IS MADE HERE TONIGHT. BECAUSE MY YOUNGEST IS SEVEN YEARS OLD. SO I KNOW HOW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS. I KNOW HELP MIDDLE SCHOOL IS.
I KNOW HOW SOMERSET IS. I KNOW HOW STOLTMAN IS.
AND I'M GOING TO KNOW HOW THOSE SCHOOLS ARE FOR YEARS TO COME.
SO IT IS IMPORTANT FOR ME AND OUR COMMUNITY AND THAT IS SOMETHING WE FOCUS ON AND WE WORK TOWARDS SOLVING AND NOT FIGHT ABOUT A COMMUNITY THAT WILL NOT TIP THE SCALES IN OUR SCHOOLS BECAUSE THIS COMMUNITY WILL GET BILLED FOR 3 OR FOUR YEARS. THAT GIVES US AN AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THE SCHOOL ISSUES SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. INSTEAD OF KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD GOT SINK OUT NOW, LET'S MAKE ANOTHER 55 PLUS SO THAT WE DON'T AFFECT THE SCHOOLS BUT WILL, GUESS WHAT? THEY ARE STILL GETTING AFFECTED BUT EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND, I SEE A NEW FAMILY MOVING IN WITH KIDS, WHICH I LOVE TO SEE AND I WANT MORE OF THAT. THAT MEANS WE NEED TO ADDRESS THE SCHOOL ISSUES. BASED ON THE NUMBERS THAT I SEE, THAT I WAS GIVEN FROM BROWARD COUNTY SCHOOLS, ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ARE IN DECENT SHAPE. SOMERSET WILL HELP OFFSET THAT.
WESTGLADES IS AN ISSUE. THEIR OWN NUMBERS.
IN 2023, 2024. WE WILL BE OVERCAPACITY AT WEST GLADES. I WILL HAVE A STUDENT IN WEST GLADES. SO THAT AFFECTS ME SPECIFICALLY.
AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH IS OVER CAPACITY NOW.
IT WILL BE OVERCAPACITY NEXT YEAR.
BY THEIR PROJECTIONS, IT MAY IN 23, 24, BE UNDER CAPACITY BY THREE STUDENTS. SO AS COMMISSIONER CATHER TO SET ABOUT OF THE CORAL SPRINGS THAT IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO ADDRESS.
AND THAT IS NOT -- THAT IS IRRELEVANT WHAT HAPPENS WITH THIS COMMUNITY. SO I WANT MATT -- WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMUNITY UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WE NEED TO ADDRESS REGARDLESS OF WHAT DECISION IS MADE HERE TONIGHT. WE DID THAT WHEN WE CREATED FOUR SEASONS AND THE FALSE. WE HAD OPPORTUNITIES TO ADDRESS THE SCHOOLS AND WE DID NOT BUT NOW WE ARE.
BUT NOW NOW WE ARE. BECAUSE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT.
THE COMMUNITY IS TALKING ABOUT IT.
THEY ARE READY TO DO SOMETHING TO.
SO NOW IS THE TIME TO. TO BREAK ON THE SCHOOL ISSUE.
AND AGAIN, THE COMMUNITY WILL NOT TIP THE SCALES.
THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE MOVING IN, MORE FAMILIES MOVING INTO PARKLAND EVERY DAY THAN THIS COMMUNITY WILL GENERATE.
SO IT IS THE PEOPLE MOVING IN THAT WILL AFFECT THE SCHOOLS TODAY. AND TOMORROW.
AND WE CAN'T STOP PEOPLE FROM MOVING OUT.
AND NEW PEOPLE MOVING IN. WE CAN'T STOP THAT.
IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. SO TOMORROW, THERE WILL BE NEW FAMILIES MOVING INTO PARKING. THAT IS CORRECT.
DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE?
[03:55:05]
>> I HAVE ONE MORE COMMENT TO WANT TO SAY THIS.
AND I SEE TONY OUT THERE AND I WILL SAY THAT WITH ALL DUE RACE.
TO THE COMMENTS BY PNC INTO OUR STAFF, I HEAR YOU.
I ALWAYS LISTEN TO IT WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY AND I FIND IT TO BE VITAL AND IMPORTANT TO OUR DECISION-MAKING PROCESS.
AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, AND I'D REALLY LIKE A LOT OF WHAT YOU ARE BUILDING HERE. AND I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WANT THOSE VARIANCES AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, I'M NOT GOING TO BE BLUNT YOUR PROPERTY. I WILL TELL YOU THAT.
BUT HAVING SAID THAT IN UNDERSTANDING WHERE WE ARE AT, I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT WE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE LOOK VERY HARD AT THIS THING AND GIVE US OUT -- THEIR INSIGHTS AND THOUGHTS. I WANTED TO KNOW THAT -- THEM TO KNOW THAT IT IS I KNOW DISRESPECTED AT THEIR IDEAS AND THEIR THOUGHTS. SO HAVING SAID THAT, GUESS WE ARE AT THE POINT WHERE WE NEED TO MAKE THE DECISION.
>> MAYOR RICH WALKER: WE NEED A MOTION FROM SOMEONE.
>> AND WE DO HAVE TO VOTE ON THE ITEMS INDIVIDUALLY.
THE FIRST ITEM ON THE AGENDA FOR IF IT WOULD BE 2021-012.
IT IS THAT RESULTING ITEM. THAT IS ON SECOND READING.
IF THERE IS A MOTION TO APPROVE, I'M RECOMMENDING THAT IT BE THAT MOTION WITH JUST THE MINOR AMENDMENT TO REFLECT THE UPSIDE -- UPDATED SITE PLAN BY UPDATING THE REFERENCES IN THE REZONING TO THE MAXIMUM 210 THAT WILL BE REVISED TO REFLECT THE UPDATED SITE PLAN INTO AND ALSO INTRODUCES 2.732 AN INCH PER ACRE. IT WILL BE 2.6.
>> I WOULD MAKE THAT MOTION WITH THE MODIFICATIONS UNDER IT
REZONING ISSUE. >> I HAVE A QUESTION.
TO THE OTHER COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE BY THE APPLICANT OR HIS COUNSEL OFFERING WHAT OTHER CHANGES THEY ARE GETTING -- WITHIN THAT? DOES THAT NEED TO BE ARTICULATED? BUT I WILL TRY MY BEST WHEN WE GET TO EACH ONE OF THESE ITEMS AS WE FOOT.
BUT THOSE TWO EDITIONS, I THINK THEY WERE INITIALLY OBJECTING TO
OR WITHIN THE SITE PLAN. >> THAT IS NOT PART --
>> THOSE TWO ISSUES ARE NOT PART OF THE REZONING.
AND THAT WOULD ALSO BE -- >> IF I CAN ASK BEFORE -- WELL,
I, WAIT UNTIL THE SITE PLAN. >> I SECOND COMMISSIONER'S
SHOW IT PASSES, 401. >> THE NEXT ITEM IS ITEM F.
THIS IS THE EMITTING ORDINANCE 2015-015.
THIS IS FOR THE RELEASE OF THE 35 AND OVER RESTRICTIONS ON THE SUPPER TRACK. AND AS THEY ARE CURRENTLY WRITTEN, THEY ARE A CONDITION ON APPROVAL OF THE SITE PLAN.
>> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS CLEAR IN REGARDS TO ANY MOTIONS RELATIVE TO THESE OTHER ITEMS, THE PLAT PLAN APPROVAL, SUBJECT TO ANY CHANGES AND ALL OF THOSE OTHER THINGS WHERE WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THESE LITTLE MINOR TWEAKS AND AMENDMENTS THAT THAT KIND OF LANGUAGE IS INCLUDED IN ANY MOTIONS THAT WE ARE MAKING RELATIVE TO THESE
NEXT ITEMS. >> THAT WOULD BE FOR ITEMS H AND
I WILL SECOND THAT MOTION. >> WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER ISROW AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CUTLER.
>> MAYOR RICH WALKER: PLEASE SHOW IT PASSES 3-2.
>> ITEM TEN GPAC THIS IS ORDINANCE 2018-006 FOR REMOVAL OF THE 55 AND OVER RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRACK.
>> MAYOR RICH WALKER: -- >> MOTION TO APPROVE.
>> SECOND. >> MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER ISROW AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CUTLER.
SHOW IT PASSES. >> WE ARE AT ITEM H.
THIS IS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN AND VARIANCE APPROVAL FOR
[04:00:02]
PARKLAND ROYALE. PHASE TWO.AND THOSE CONDITIONS THAT WERE OBJECTED TO INITIALLY BY THE APPLICANT THAT NOW INDICATED HE HAS AGREED TO, THOSE ARE IN THE ITEM BEFORE YOU. SO YOU DON'T NEED TO NECESSARILY MEANT ANYTHING WITH RESPECT TO THOSE TWO BUT HOWEVER, THERE WERE SOME ADDITIONAL STIPULATIONS AND FEEL FREE TO JUMP INTO MR. MOSCOWITZ OR MR. TUTTLE.
ON THE SMALLER LATKE -- LOTS, AS I UNDERSTOOD IT, IT WAS ON THE 15TH -- WIDE LOTS THAT LOT COVERAGE WOULD BE A MAXIMUM OF
>> THAT IS NOT CURRENTLY IN YOUR BACKUP? SO YOU CAN CONSIDER ADDING THAT AS WELL AS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL? AND YOU ALREADY HAVE ON THE SIDE PLAN ITEMS THAT THEY HAVE TO SUBMIT A FULL AND COMPLETE SITE
PLAN SET. >> WE SAID IT IS GOING TO BE CONDITION NOT APPROVAL MEANING THE BACKUPS COMPORTS WITH THE
>> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE ONE FINAL REQUEST IF I MAY.
THE APPLICANT. SINCE VICE MAYOR MAYERSOHN WOULD PREFER TO HAVE A MONETARY CONTRIBUTION FROM THE DEVELOPER AS OPPOSED TO THE PARK I WOULD REQUEST THAT THE DEVELOPER
[CHUCKLES] >> OSHAE MONETARY VALUE BETWEEN
$50,900,000. >> I AM WILLING WITH A NOD OF MR. MARSON THAT HE WILL APPROVE MY PROJECT TO MAKE A $500,000 CONTRIBUTION TO BE USED FOR WHATEVER YOU GUYS WANT TO USE IT FOR. OKAY.
BUT I WILL STILL MAKE IT. >> I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, IS IT STILL ON THE TABLE? [LAUGHTER]
>> WE ARE NOT GOING TO KILL THIS DEAL.
>> I'M GOING TO MOTION TO APPROVE WITH THE CHANGE OF
CONDITIONS. >> FOR THE RECORD, THE LAST THE -- NASTY LAWYER COULD NOT HAVE OBTAINED THIS.
>> THIS LAWYER WANTS TO CLARIFIED THAT THE $500,000 IS
IN ADDITION TO -- >> THEY WANT --
>> IN ADDITION TO AND HUNDRED THOUSAND --
>> AND ALL OF THE WORK. >> PAYABLE.
PAYABLE. AFTER ISSUANCE OF SITE
DEVELOPMENT PERMITS. >> SITE PLAN APPROVAL.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO GET CLARIFICATION.
WHAT PERMITS? >> PEOPLE AFTER ISSUANCE OF SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMITS. HE UNDERSTANDS.
>> YOU KNOW WHICH PERMIT HE IS TALKING ABOUT? OKAY. AFTER THE -- EQUITY ENGINEERING
-- >> I WANT HIM MOTIVATED TO ISSUE MY PERMIT. I WANT HIM $500,000 MOTIVATED.
>> YOU CAN PUT IT IN THE NEW DROPBOX.
[LAUGHTER] >> THAT I'M PAYING FOR WITH MY
FIVE TO THOUSAND. >> WE WILL NAME IT AFTER YOU, NO
WORRIES. >> I HEARD MR. MARTES LEWIS --
>> AT THIS IS MORE ADMINISTRATIVE.
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE PLANS SUBMITTED, THE OFFICIAL PLANS.
HOW DO WE APPROVE THOSE PLANTS FROM AN ADMINISTRATIVE PERSPECTIVE? I WANT TO GET IT ON THAT RECORD?
>> RIGHT. SO THE PLANTS NEED TO BE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT IS APPROVED TODAY AND ALL OF THE CONDITIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MENTIONED, ADDITIONALLY, THERE WILL REDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WHICH IS CURRENTLY A CONDITION THAT INCORPORATES A LOT OF THE PLANS WITH RESPECT TO THE OFF-SITE AND ON-SITE IMPROVEMENTS. SO I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A FINDING PROBABLY BY STAFF THAT IT IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT HAS BEEN HERE TODAY. I MEAN, IF WE GET THE PLANS AND THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT DEVIATION, WHICH I DOUBT THEY WOULD DO BASED ON THIS CONVERSATION, YOU KNOW, WE WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT. BUT PROVIDED THAT EVERYTHING IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED NO THE SPARK --
>> THEY WILL BE. CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE HAVE DONE TODAY AND THE CONDITION OF APPROVAL THAT THEY ARE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE HAVE APPROVED AND DISCUSS TODAY.
WE AGREE TO IT. WE CAN LOOK BACK AT THE RECORD AND SEE THAT -- YES, THEY WILL BE CONSISTENT.
WE WORKED TOGETHER BEFORE. ALMOST AS MUCH FUN TO WORK WITH
EXPECT ALMOST AS MUCH FUN. >> MARY ASK A QUESTION? WHAT YOU ENVISION A REVISED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BEING CREATED OR SIMPLY BASED ON THE RESOLUTIONS THAT HAVE PASSED
[04:05:01]
TONIGHT? >> NOT ONLY WHAT I ENVISION BUT IT IS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL CURRENTLY WITH RESPECT TO THE ON-SITE/OFFSITE IMPROVEMENTS. BUT IF YOU'RE WILLING TO STUPID TO ALSO INCLUDING A LOT OF THESE OTHER TERMS WHICH MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE OFF-SITE AND ON-SITE IMPROVEMENTS -- WE CAN -- STRUCTURE. ANYTHING THAT IS AGREED TO, WE ARE HAPPY TO INCORPORATE IT INTO WRITTEN DOCUMENT.
>> OKAY. SO HERE'S WHAT I HAVE THUS FAR.
IN TERMS OF ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS.
ONE IS THE -- ON THE SMALLER 53-FOOT LOTS, MAXIMUM OF 45% LOT COVERAGE, NUMBER ONE. NUMBER TWO, AN ADDITIONAL $500 CONTRIBUTION TO THE CITY TO BE USED --
>> 500,000. >> $500,000, EXCUSE ME.
NOT THAT EASY. $500,000 CONTRIBUTION TO BE USED BY THE CITY AND SOLE DISCRETION PAYABLE UPON ISSUANCE OF THE -- FINAL ENGINEERING PERMIT OR THE ENGINEERING PERMIT.
>> THE DEVELOPMENTAL PERMIT. >> SO WHAT IS THE PERMIT CALLED
AGAIN. >> PAYABLE UPON ISSUANCE OF THE SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT. THAT IS NUMBER TWO.
AND NUMBER THREE, AMENDING THE CURRENT CONDITION THAT PROVIDES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT INCORPORATES ALL OF THE OFF-SITE AND ON-SITE IMPROVEMENTS TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE CONDITIONS THAT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED TODAY THAT ARE PART OF THEIR APPROVAL. IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER CONDITIONS THAT ARE SET FORTH IN THE AGENDA ITEMS. WE HAVE ONE DOCUMENT BASICALLY THAT COVERS EVERYTHING VERSUS HAVING TO LOOK AT FIVE SEPARATE AGENDA ITEMS. THOSE ARE THE THREE AS I UNDERSTOOD THEM.
AND WE ARE USUALLY WORKING TOGETHER ON THE SAME PAGE.
BUT WE JUST HAVE SOME GRIPES OVER HERE.
BECAUSE WHEN THAT PLAN COMES IN, IT IS GOING TO MATCH EVERYTHING, I PRESUME. BUT YOU HOOKED -- YOU COULD HAVE COMMENTS FROM OUR STAFF. SO I WAS TALKING TO CAITLIN AND WE ARE THINKING YOU KNOW, YOU WILL HAVE TO DO SOME SORT OF PROCESS ON THE PLANS THEMSELVES WITH ALL OF YOUR COMMENTS BEING ADDRESSED BY YOUR TECHNICAL STAFF, PROVIDED BACK TO THE COMMISSION ENSURING THAT EVERYTHING HAS BEEN ADDRESSED
FOR FINAL APPROVAL. >> THAT IS A GOOD SUGGESTION.
YOU COULD USE THE PROCEDURE IF YOU ARE AMENABLE TO WHICH GOES -- THE COMMISSION GETS TO SEE EVERYTHING BECAUSE YOU FEEL THAT IT IS NOT CONSISTENT OR ANYTHING.
>> VICE MAYOR? >> I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE
APPLICANT IS -- >> THAT IS ACCEPTABLE.
>> OKAY. >> SO THE MAN SECURITY.
IS THAT PART OF THIS -- >> YES.
>> THEY WILL. A MAN SECURITY --
>> YEAH, WE HAVE WITHDRAWN OUR OBJECTION.
>> OKAY. >> AND ALSO, THE TWO MAIN.
>> CORRECT. >> WEEK -- THE COURT WORKED TWO ITEMS. WE HAVE WITHDRAWN OUR OBJECTION.
>> YES. AND WE ARE EXCITED TO HAVE MR. MAYERSOHN'S SUPPORT. [LAUGHTER]
[LAUGHTER] >> I'M GOING TO MOTION TO APPROVE ON THOSE STATED CONDITIONS AND CHANGES THAT
ANTHONY JUST REFERENCED. >> AND I'M GOING TO SECOND IT.
>> MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER ISROW AND A SECOND
BY COMMISSIONER CUTLER. >> ROLL CALL.
COMPELLING AS THOSE CHANGES ARE, I'M STILL GOING TO HAVE TO BUILD
>> MAYOR RICH WALKER: IT PASSES, 3-2 PERSPECTIVE FINAL ITEM, ITEM TEN THE PLAT. SO IT WAS DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY.
ADDITIONAL CONDITION OF APPROVAL THAT THE FINAL PLAT SUBMITTAL WILL IMPROVE ALL OF THE STUDENT NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.
IT WILL BE ALL OF THE CONDITIONS AND APPROVALS THAT ARE GRANTED TODAY IN THE CITY CODE WITH RESPECT TO THE DEPARTMENT WHILE
OUT -- ROYALTIES. >> MOTION TO APPROVE WITH THAT
>> MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER ISROW, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CUTLER. ROLL CALL.
SHOW IT PASSES 3-2. >> WE TAKE A TWO-MINUTE BREAK?
