[5. Comments from the Public on Non-Agenda Items]

ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON A NONAGENDA ITEM? NOW WOULD BE THE TIME. MR. DAVID GOTT.

NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. >> DAVID GOTT, 9460 EDEN MANOR, PARKLAND, FLORIDA, PARKLAND GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB.

MAYOR AND COMMISSION, I COME HERE TODAY TO EXCEPTED YOUR CITY STAFF. WE -- TO COMMEND YOUR CITY STAFF. WE -- AS YOU KNOW IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS CON BE STRUPGS OF THE ROUNDABOUT ON OLD CLUB ROAD AND UNIVERSITY. AND I TRULY FELT IN THE ENTER PROCESS THAT THE STAFF WAS REALLY COMETED TO, A, DELIVERING A PRODUCT THAT EVERYBODY COULD BE HAPPY WITH.

AND B, ALSO MENMIZING THE IMPACT THAT CONSTRUCTION WAS INEVITABLY GOING TO HAVE ON OUR COMMUNITY. AND, YOU KNOW, THEY TRULY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT OUR FEELINGS. THEY BROUGHT US IN EARLY IN THE DESIGN PROCESS. IT WASN'T JUST THE PROJECT IS DONE. HERE IT IS.

THROUGH THAT, WE WERE ABLE TO WORK ON DESIGN.

WE WERE ABLE TO COME UP WITH WHAT I THINK IS A PRETTY NOVEL MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT THAT YOU ALL WERE AWARE OF.

AND THEN THEY DID SOMETHING THAT I DON'T THINK I HAVE EVER DONE WHERE THEY ACTUALLY GAVE EVERY -- EVERY RESIDENT IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND THE ABILITY TO WEIGH IN ON THE DESIGN.

AND I THINK THAT IS FABULOUS. AND I WANT TO SAY IT.

FINALLY DURING CONSTRUCTION, ALLOWED A MEMBER OF OUR SECURITY COMMITTEE. WE HAD A MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE AND HE SAT ON THE PROJECT MEETINGS ON A DAILY BASIS AND GAVE INPUT ON THINGS LIKE IMPACT AND THEY WERE ABLE TO HEAD OFF PROBLEMS. APPEARED TO THAT END, A SMALL LEST OF PEOPLE I A WANT TO COMMEND IF THAT IS OKAY.

FIRST I WANT TO START WITH YOUR CITY MANAGER BECAUSE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE IT IS NOT EMPOWERED FROM THE STOP. MISS CITY MANAGER, WE APPRECIATE THAT. JOHN, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER WHO MANAGED THE PROJECT AND SIMPLY A CELL PHONE CALL AWAY AT ALL TIMES RON WALLACE, CHIEF ENGINEER.

MARY, OUR MANAGER SAID HE WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING TO WORK WITH.

PATTY -- GOSH, VASHETO. DID I GET THAT RIGHT -- PATSY VASHETO, A CITY ENGINEER. CHRISTOPHER MORAN.

PATTY HOOT, THE ARBORIST. AND FINALLY OMAR MEDINA FROM FLORIDA ENGINEERING. AND MARY -- MARY'S COMMENTS WERE THERE. SAYS BEST CONTRACTOR I EVER WORKED WITH ON A CITY PROJECT AT ANY PROPERTY I EVER MANAGED.

HE WAS SUPER RESPONSIVE AND ALWAYS WILLING TO RESOLVE ANY -- ANY ISSUES IMMEDIATELY. SO IN CONCLUSION, THIS WAS AN EXAMPLE OF GOOD GOVERNMENT. AN EXAMPLE OF THE HOA WORK WITH THE CITY TO PUT TOGETHER SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY CAN ENJOY. I THINK THE OUTCOME WAS BEAUTIFUL. AND I THANK YOU ALL.

>>MAYOR WALKER: THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING TO SPEND YOUR TEAM TO COME AND SAY THAT. USUALLY WE HEAR COMPLAINTS, SO HAVING SOMEONE COME AND APPLAUD THE HARD WORK OF OUR STAFF IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED BECAUSE WE OBVIOUSLY GET TO SEE THEM ON A DAILY BASIS AND WE KNOW HOW HARD THEY WORK AND FOR YOU TO COULD AM AND DO THAT, IT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

>> THE WAY THEY HANDLED IT, I WAS PROUD TO LIVE IN THIS CITY

AND THE PRIVILEGE TO DO IT. >>MAYOR WALKER: ANYONE FROM THE

[00:05:02]

>>COMMISSIONER ISROW: I WILL KEEP IT SHORT.

I HAVE NO COMMENTS. >>MAYOR WALKER: TO COMMISSIONER

SONIC. >>COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN: I HAVE A FEW MORE COMMENTS THAN COMMISSIONER ISROW.

I WANT TO WISH EVERYBODY A SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL YEAR.

THE MAYOR AND I ATTENDED THE FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES CONFERENCE. IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE.

A LOT OF GOOD WORKSHOPS. I THINK IT WAS VERY PRODUCTIVE IN HELPING US BRING BACK INFORMATION TO THE CITY THAT HELPS US PROVIDE BETTER GOVERNANCE.

OUR SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING WORK GROUP MET TODAY.

I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO ALL THE DETAILS AND WE ARE STILL WORKING THROUGH THE -- THE DRAFT OF THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT, TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED. SEPTEMBER 7 IS WHEN IT WILL GO TO THE FULL GROUP TO TAKE A VIEW AT IT.

I KNOW NANCY AND ANTHONY HAD SOME TIME TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

SOME OF THE ISSUES THEY HAD CONCERNS ABOUT WERE ADDRESSED.

TO WHAT SATISFACTION I DON'T KNOW YET AND WE ARE STILL WORKING THROUGH THAT AND I WANT TO UPDATE YOU ON THAT.

LET'S SEE, CONGRATULATIONS TO VICE-MAYOR CUTLER ON HIS BOOK.

THOSE OF HOW DON'T KNOW VICE MAYOR CUTLER WROTE A BOOK CALLED "THE HISTORY OF PARKLAND, FLORIDA: WELCOME TO PARKLAND." AND HE WILL BE SELLING THOSE BOOKS AT THE END OF THE MEETING.

[LAUGHTER] SO YOU CAN GET AN AUTOGRAPHED COPY. BUT IT IS AN INTERESTING READ.

AND JUST TO LET'S YOU KNOW, KEN IS A TRUE HISTORIAN AND ONE OF THE THINGS I AM TRULY IMPRESSED AT, NOT JUST THE INFORMATION YOU HAVE AT THE CITY BUT THE AWARD YOU GOT REGARDING THE FINDINGS ON THE SUPREME COURT, REALLY LOOKING AT ALL THE DETAIL IS TRULY AMAZING. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DID IT.

ESPECIALLY DATING BACK A COUPLE OF HUNDRED YEARS.

>>VICE MAYOR CUTLER: THANK YOU MUCH.

MARY. >>COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN: JUST INCREDIBLE. THE PARKLAND DASH REGISTRATION OPENS UP ON THE 19TH AT 12 O'CLOCK.

I CHALLENGE ANYBODY TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO SIGN UP AND I THINK I USUALLY AM. AND THIS YEAR'S BENEFICIARY IS EAGLES HAVEN. A GREAT CAUSE.

IF YOU DECIDE TO RUN OR WALK, I ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO PARTICIPATE. AND I ALSO WANT TO CONGRATULATE COMMISSIONER BRIER. HE GOT APPOINTED TO THE SCHOOL

BOARD OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE. >>COMMISSIONER BRIER: SOME VERY

HANDSOME GENTLEMAN. >>COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN: JUST TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW AND THE REASON WHY THIS IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT THAT THE SCHOOL OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES.

AS WE MOVE FORWARD IN LOOKING AT -- YOU KNOW, RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES AND OTHER THINGS THAT PUT AN IMPACT ON SCHOOL, COMMISSIONER BRIER BEING PART OF THAT COMMITTEE, NORTHWEST THAT HE HAS A COMPLETE SAY, BUT AT LEAST HAS SOME INFLUENCE IN WHAT MAY OR MAY NOT COME OUT OF THAT. SO THAT IS A GOOD THING FOR OUR CITY AND A GOOD THING FOR COMMISSIONER BRIER.

AND THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. >>MAYOR WALKER: THANK YOU,

COMMISSIONER BRIER. >>COMMISSIONER BRIER: THANK YOU, MAYOR. YOU KNOW I DON'T GENERALLY GIVE LONG COMMENTS AND I TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE CITY OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THE VICE-MAYOR TO SPEAKS POIGNANT LY AND WORTH MENTIONS AFTER OUR LAST MEETING THAT I HAD A CHANCE TO SEE COMMENTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA REGARDING OUR MARY, SOME POSITIVE, SOME NEGLECT TESTIFY.

IT IS WORTH NOTE THAT I MADE A COMMENT IN THE LAST MEETING IF YOU TREAT THE GOOD PEOPLE IN THIS CITY, ESPECIALLY ON A SMALL LEVEL TO STEP UP TO SERVE OUR RESIDENTS, EVENTUALLY WHAT YOU END UP BAD PEOPLE STEPPING UP BECAUSE NO GOOD PEOPLE WANT TO DEAL WITH THAT. THE DAIS TO THE FOUR GENTLEMEN ON MY LEFT. I RESPECT ONE ANOTHER.

AND THE REASON WHY I AM PROUD EVEN WHEN WE DON'T AGREE ALL YOUR HEARTS ARE IN PLACE SOME OF USES ARE ALREADY RAISING OUR FAMILY HERE AND WE ARE COMMITTEDED TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT

[00:10:01]

MY MOM WILL COME IN AND GIVE A GOOD SEMINAR OF BEING A GOOD BOY AND TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED AND SPECIAL SESSIONS SHE GAVE TO ME WHEN I WAS A KID AND I THINKS TORN.

OFTENTIMES WE ARE FRUSTRATED WHEN WE GO TO THE BALLOT BOX ON A NATIONAL LEVEL WE DON'T FIND GOOD CANDIDATES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE TICKET AND A REASON FOR THAT I THINK.

WE ARE GETTING TO ARE MORE AND MORE OF A SOCIETY WHERE GOOD PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO STEP UP BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE NONSENSE AND UNFAIR CHARACTER ATTACKS IF THEY DISAGREE WITH AN ISSUE THEY ARE AN EVIL OR BAD PERSON.

WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL OF THAT, ESPECIALLY IN A SMALL CITY LIKE PARKLAND. THE PERSON THAT YOU WILL POST TO ON SOCIAL MEDIA IS THE PERSON WHO WILL HELP JUMP YOUR CAR OR COACH YOUR KID IN SOCCER WHEN NONE OF THE OTHER PARENTS WILL.

IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE CAN'T DISAGREE ON ISSUES OR CALL OURSELVES ON THE CARPET WHEN THINGS ARE NOT GOING RIGHT.

THAT IS FEAR. IF YOU WANT TO TAKE US TO TASK BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE WE AREN'T DOING THE JOB WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO, FEAR ENOUGH. JUST WANTED TO REMIND US THAT TREAT OURSELVES THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED.

GIVE EVERYONE THE SAME COURTESY YOU WANT TO GIVE.

THIS IS NOT TO BE PREACHY. WITH THAT, I WILL LEAVE MY

COMMENTS, THANK YOU, MAYOR. >>MAYOR WALKER: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COMMISSIONER BRIER, FOR THOSE COMMENTS.

VICE MAYOR CUTLER. >>VICE MAYOR CUTLER: SIMEON, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

THEY ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. I HOPE EVERYONE APPRECIATES THEM AS WELL. AND I KNOW THEY ARE SPOKEN FROM THE HEART. SO DEFINITELY APPRECIATED.

BOB, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR KIND WORDS.

I DO APPRECIATE IT. THE BOOK WAS A LABOR OF LOVE AND I GOT TO WORK WITH A WONDERFUL GENTLEMAN WHO LEVIS IN ASTON GARDENS, A FORMER PROFESSOR AND WRITTEN HISTORY BOOKS IN THE PAST. AND IT WAS TRULY A LABOR OF LOVE. I WANT TO THANK DAVE FOR HIS COMMENTS TONIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING AS THE MARY SAID. IT IS RARE WE HAVE SOMEBODY FROM THE PUBLIC COME US TO WITH ANYTHING BUT COMPLAINTS, BUT WHEN SOMEONE COMES WITH COMPLIMENTS, IT IS TRULY APPRECIATED AND I AGREE WITH THE MARY THAT OUR STAFF WORKS VERY, VERY HARD AT DOING WHAT IS RIGHT FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND AT ALL TIMES. THEY HOLD HIGH ESTEEM FOR THE MEMBERS AND RESIDENTS. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

AS BOB SAID SAID, SCHOOL STARTED.

I WANT TO WELCOME EVERYBODY BACK TO SCHOOL.

ALL OF US HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE AT A DIFFERENT SCHOOL FOR THE FIRST DAY AND GREAT TO SEE. THE KIDS WERE REALLY EXCITED.

THE STAFF WERE REALLY EXCITED. THE TEACHERS WERE VERY HAPPY TO GET BACK. I KNOW MY WIFE IS VERY GLAD SHE IS NOT LOOKING AT ANOTHER ZOOM SCREEN AND HAS KIDS COMING BACK FOR REAL THIS TIME. AND I WANT TO COMMEND NOT ONLY THE STAFF, THE TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS, POLICE OFFICERS THAT WERE OUT THERE AND ALSO THE VOLUNTEERS THAT CAME TO THE SCHOOLS TO HELP WITH THE FIRST DAY.

YOU GUYS ARE REALLY, YOU KNOW, DOING IT RIGHT FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND FOR OUR CHILDREN AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. >>MAYOR WALKER: THANK YOU, VICE-MAYOR. COMMISSIONER BRIER, I THINK IT IS GREATS THAT YOU WOULD TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY YOU WOULD WANT TO BE TREATED AND A ROOM FULL OF CHILDREN TODAY, IT IS GREAT THAT THEY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THOSE REMARKS BECAUSE THEY ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. I WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON YOUR BOOK. CONGRATULATION COMMISSIONER SONIC. HE WAS THE 13TH DIRECTOR FOR THE FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES. THE COVERED BRIDGE IS OPEN.

AND TOOK A WHILE TO GET US TO THE FINISH LIEN AND THE DETAIL THAT STAFF HOLDS OUR CONTRACTOR TOO.

SO YES, IT WAS DELAYED BUT DELAYED BECAUSE STAFF MADE SURE THAT THE CONTRACTORS DO WHAT WE PAY THEM TO DO.

I WANT TO GIVE A QUICK MEMORIAL COMMITTEE UPDATE.

WE ARE IN THE PEOPLE STAGES OF FINALIZING THE LAND LEASE WITH NSID. WE ARE IN THE FINAL STAGES OF CALL TO ARTISTS. BROWARD COUNTY SAID THEY WERE

[00:15:02]

[6. Presentation]

AND WITH THAT WE WILL MOVE ONTO A PRESENTATION FROM BROWARD SCHOOL BOARD, SECURE THE NEXT GENERATION REFERENCE RUN.

RENEWAL EDUCATIONAL CAM PANE WITH JOHN SULLIVAN, CHIEF COMMUNICATIONS AND LEDGISLATIVE AFFAIRS OFFICER.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR, VICE-MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS TO BRIEF NOT ONLY YOU BUT THE RESIDENTS. ON BEHALF OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE SCHOOL BOARD WHO REPRESENTS THIS AREA, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT OF OUR SCHOOLS.

AS THE MAYOR SAID -- OR THE VICE-MAYOR, YOU WERE OUT IN OUR SCHOOLS YESTERDAY. WE HAD A GREAT FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. IF YOU WERE READING IN THE NATIONAL NEWS, A LOT OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE HAVING SEVERE CHALLENGES MANNING EITHER THE BUSES, THE BUS DRIVERS OR TEACHERS. WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THE MISSION OF HAVING AN ALREADY SUCCESSFUL FIRST DAY. THAT IS NO SMALL PART DUE TO THE INVESTMENT THAT THE VOTERRS MADE IN 2018 THAT REALLY WOULD ALLOW US TO PROVIDE MEANINGFUL SUPPLEMENTS TO WORK FORCE, FRONT-LINE WORKER, TEACHERS, CAFETERIA WORKERS, CUSTODIAL WORKERS, BUS DRIVERS, BUS ASSISTANCE, THE FRONT LINE OF OUR SYSTEM. I'M HERE TO PRESENT THE RENEWAL OF THE REFERENDUM. THE 2018 REFERENDUM IS SET TO EXPIRE AND BY LAW WILL ONLY GO FOUR YEARS.

THE RESIDENTS WILL SEE A BALLOT QUESTION ON THE LAST PAGE OF THE BALLOT AND THE LAST QUESTION. A SIMPLE YES OR NO AND WILL ASK THEM TO CONTINUE FUNDING GOING THEY DECIDE TO DO SO THE THREE BUCKETS. SAFETY IS THE FIRST BUCKET.

WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DEPLOY 540 SAFETY PERSONNEL THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. I WANT TO THANK THE CITY AND THE CITY HAS A HUGE FINANCIAL COMMITMENT THAT THE SROS OF THE SCHOOLS OF PARKLAND. A FINANCIAL BURDEN TO THE STE AND I WANT TO THANK THE CITY TO ENSURE WE HAVE THE SAFEST SCHOOLS IN PARKLAND. FUND 100 MENTAL HEALTH PERSONNEL THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY AND BIGGEST CHUNK, $82 MILLION SUPPLEMENT FOR OUR WORKFORCE. THE AVERAGE TEACHER RECEIVES $4600 IN THE CURRENT REFERENDUM. ALL THOSE INITIATIVES THE FUNDING WILL GO AWAY WITHOUT THE RENEWAL.

IF THE RENEWAL IS SUCCESSFUL 75% OF THAT HAS TO GO TOWARD THOSE SUPPLEMENTS. 17% WILL GO TO SAFETY WHICH WILL REPRESENT AN INCREASE IN THAT BUCKET AND THE SUPERINTENDENT WILL BRING AN ITEM TO THE BOARD TO INCREASE OUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE SRO PROGRAM TO LESSEN THE BURDEN TO THE CITY AND A BURDEN NOT ONLY TO PARKLAND BUT OTHER CITIES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.

ULTIMATELY A SCHOOL BOARD DECISION AND THE SUPERINTENDENT IS COMMITTED TO BRING THAT ITEM. UP TO 18 -- SORRY, UP TO 8% TO OUR MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS. SO, AGAIN, IT'S ON THE AUGUST 23 BALLOT. SO IF YOU VOTED, YOU PROBABLY HAVE SEEN IT ALREADY. IF YOU WILL VOTE, IT IS ON THE PEOPLE PAGE. WITHOUT THE RENEWAL, THE FUNDS ALSO SUNSET NEXT SUMMER AND THE DISTRICT WILL BE FORCED TO RE-EVALUATE THE BUDGET BECAUSE WON'T HAVE THE FUNDING FOR THOSE ITEMS AND DETERMINE TO BEST MOVE FORWARD.

I KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF NOISE ON THE 2014 BOND PROGRAM.

WHAT I WANT TO SAY ABOUT THAT, THIS PROGRAM IS FOR BUILDING FACILITIES. THIS REFERENDUM IS ABOUT PEOPLE AND FUND SUPPLEMENTS AND BUILDINGS.

WE EXPECT USE THE FUNDING FOR BUILDINGS AND CAN'T USE THE BUILDINGS FOR PEOPLE. I WANTED TO MAKE THAT DISTINCTION. AND I DIDN'T MENTION THE AUDIT.

A THIRD-PARTY INDEPENDENT AUDIT OF THE CURRENT REFERENDUM COMPLETED. WE SPENT THE MONEY TO WHAT THE VOTERS APPROVED IN 2018, NO EXCEPTIONS.

BRIEFLY FINAL POINT. IT IS AN INCREASE FOR A HALF MEL, FULL MILL. FOR EVERY 100,000 ASSESSED OF THE PROPERTY VALUE, IT IS CURRENTLY $50 ANNUALLY ACHE IS SEED. WILL GO UP TO $100 ANNUALLY FOR EVERY $100,000. THE BOARD DECIDED TO DO THAT FOR TWO REASONS. WILL HAVE TO SHARE IT WITH CHARTER SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS. IF WE WILL DO WITH A TRUE RENEWAL OF THE HALF MILL WILL LOSE 20% AND TURN IT OVER TO THE

[00:20:04]

ANOTHER REASON IS OUR MUCH IF NEIGHBORS TO THE SOUTH AND NORTH OF US MIAMI AND PALM BEACH HAVE HIGHER MILLAGE REFERENDUM AND ALLOW THEM FOR HIGHER COMPENSATION FOR THEIR WORK FORCE. COMPETING FOR THE TOP TALENT THESE DAYS AND MAKES IT HARD TO COMPETE WITH THEM IN A TRUE SENSE BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OFFER HIGHER SUPPLEMENTS. THAT WAS THE TWO MAIN REASONS FOR THE INCREASE FROM THE HALF MILL TO THE FULL MILL.

WITH THAT, MAYOR, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

>> IF I CAN SUMMARIZE FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE HERE.

THIS REFERENDUM -- WE CURRENTLY HAVE A HALF MILL.

YOU CAN STOP ME WHENEVER I AM OFF TRACK.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE A HALL MILL THAT GOES DIRECTLY TO TEACHERS, SECURITY, AND MENTAL HEALTH. THIS REFERENDUM IS UP.

THERE IS NOW A VOTE. REGARDLESS OF HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT BROWARD COUNTY AND THE BOND PROGRAM, THIS IS A SEPARATE PROGRAM ALL TOGETHER. THE REASON A ONE MILL INCREASE

MIAMI-DADE USES ONE MILL. >> PALM BEACH CURRENTLY AT A MILL. MIAMI THREE QUARTERS AND GETTING FOR A FULL MILL. ABOUT RETAINING SEARCHERS.

OUR TEACHERS. THIS MONEY GETS A SEPARATE AUDIT AND DOES GO DIRECTLY TO PEOPLE. IF YOU GO TO THE BALLOT BOX, NOBODY WANTS TO PAY MORE IN TAXES BUT SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO SPENDS MONEY TO MAKE SURE OF THAT YOU ARE FUNDING THE SCHOOLS PROPERLY AND THAT GOES TO TEACHERS.

TEACHERS, SAFETY, MENTAL HEALTH. I CAN'T THINK OF THREE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS FOR OUR SCHOOLS AND FOR OUR CHILDREN.

SO HOWEVER YOU FEEL, YOU KNOW, IT IS OBVIOUSLY UP TO YOU.

MAKE SURE YOU TAKE THOSE THINGS INTO CONSIDERATION THAT THIS REFERENDUM IS STRICTLY FOR THOSE ITEMS. THERE IS A SEPARATE AUDIT. SOME I KNOW SOMETIMES IT IS HARD FOR PEOPLE TO SEE AND A TOTAL SEPARATE BUCKET.

LET'S NOT MUDDY THIS WITH THE 800-POUND GORILLA THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY IN THE ROOM OR STILL IN THE ROOM.

THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS ON THAT REN REN DUMB.

YOU DID A FANTASTIC JOB SPEAKING ON IT.

I JUST WANTED TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE LAYMAN'S TERMS.

>> THE LAST REFERENDUM PRESENTATION WAS THE BEST

QUESTION I EVER RECEIVED. >>MAYOR WALKER: COMMISSIONER

BRIER. >>COMMISSIONER BRIER: JOHN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH -- THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT AND EXPLAINING ALL THAT IS GOING ON AND ALL THAT THE BOARD IS DOING.

ONE THING I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT -- A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SCHOOL BOUNDARY ISSUES. A LOT OF RESIDENTS ARE CONCERNED IN PARKLAND OF THE OVERCROWDING OF SOME OF OUR SCHOOLS.

MSD BEING THE MOST PREVALENT ONE.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO US AND TO THE COMMUNITY, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THERE IS A BOUNDARY PROCESS THAT WILL GO ON LATER THIS FALL AND CONTINUE ON AND ALSO MY UNDERSTAND THAT COMMUNITY PROPOSAL NEEDS TO BE SUBMITTED. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE PROCESS,

THE WINDOW OF TIME, ETC. >> SURE, I MADE A COMMITMENT TO THE MAYOR TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE SHARING THAT PROCESS HOW THAT PROCESS WILL LOOK LIKE. TYPICALLY COMMUNITIES ARE ABLE TO OFFER PROPOSALS TO THAT PROCESS.

WE ARE LOOKING TO START THAT PROCESS LATE SEPTEMBER, EARLY OCTOBER. AND AN OVERALL BOUNDARY AND HOW TO RIGHT-SIZE THE DISTRICT IF WE HAVE TO DO IT.

WE ARE NOT FORTUNATE ON ALL ASPECTS.

ALL AREAS OF OUR COUNTY AND UNDERENROLLMENT GOING ON IN SOME AREAS AND WE MAY HAVE TO REPURPOSE THOSE SCHOOLS THAT WILL AFFECT BOUNDARIES AS WELL AND HAVE THOSE TWO.

CONVERSATIONS. AND AS SOON AS WE KNOW WHAT THAT PROCESS LOOKS LIKE, WE WILL SHARE THAT WITH THE CITY.

>>COMMISSIONER BRIER: THAT WILL GIVE US AN UPDATE ON THE

TIMELINE OF COMMUNITY PROPOSALS? >> YES, OF COURSE.

>> THANK YOU. >> JOHN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT A 17% REQUIREMENT FOR SAFETY. IS THAT A CAP OR A MINIMUM?

>> UP TO 17%. IT'S A CAP.

ALTHOUGH IT IS SLIGHTLY LESS THAN WHAT WE ARE CURRENTLY COMMITTED TO. IT IS STILL OVERALL ABOUT $8 MILLION OVER WHAT WE ARE CURRENTLY GENERATING AND A FULL

[00:25:01]

>>MAYOR WALKER: COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN.

>> HELLO, MR. SULLIVAN. >> GOOD TO SEE YOU.

>>COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN: YOU MENTION THAT 20% OF THESE DOLLARS GO TO THE CHARTER SCHOOL.

>> YES. >>COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN: INSTEAD OF BEING AT -- PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED HALF A MILL GOING TO A MILL LAST YEAR OR FOUR YEARS AGO, THE DISTRICT GOT THE FULL HALF A MILL OPPOSED TO NOW IF IT IS APPROVED, WOULD ONLY

GET 80% OF THAT. >> CORRECT.

IN THE LAST REN REN DUMB ALTHOUGH NOT REQUIRED TO DO -- REFERENDUM. OVER 900 STUDS TO HELP THEM WITH THEIR SECURITY STAFF PERSONNEL. AND A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF THE REFERENDUM. ABOUT $1 MILLION A YEAR.

IT WASN'T A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT. RIGHT NOW IT WOULD BE ABOUT.

$53 MILLION ANNUALLY WILL GO TOWARD CHARTER SCHOOLS AND THE IT HE IS STRICT RECEIVE $214 MILLION.

>> THEN REGARDING THE SAFETY AND SECURITY.

IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING CURRENTLY AS WE SPEAK TODAY, THAT WE ARE WAITING UNTIL AUGUST 23 OR AUGUST 24 TO DETERMINE WHAT THE REIMBURSEMENT RATE WILL BE FOR SROS, THAT'S CORRECT?

>> THAT'S CORRECT. THE SUPERINTENDENT SAID HOPEFULLY IF THE REFERENDUM IS SUCCESSFUL, SHE WOULD BE COMING UP WITH THE RECOMMENDATION TO INCREASE THE CONTRIBUTION TO HER

BOARD TO TAKE SANCTION. >>COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN: THAT IS MORE -- IT OFFSETS OUR COST AS A CITY.

>> THAT IS A GOOD POIRPT. IF THERE IS SOME ADDITIONAL REIMBURSEMENT TO SROS. THAT FULL MILL THAT WE ARE PAYING MAY NOT BE A FULL MILL, DEPENDING ON WHAT THE SUPERINTENDENT DECIDES TO PROVIDE US EXTRA.

SO THAT IS CERTAINLY A GOOD.. >> THE OTHER THING I WANT TO ADD ON THE BOUNDARY PROCESS. MAY NOT ONLY BE COMMUNITY PROPOSALS BUT INTERNAL STAFF PROPOSALS AS WELL.

>> STAFF PROPOSALS BUT NOT PROPOSALS FROM BOARD MEMBERS.

>> IF STAFF SEES IT -- THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM OR OVERENROLLMENT IN A SCHOOL OR AREA, THEY WILL COME UP WITH A BOUNDARY PROPOSAL THEMSELVES AND SUBMIT THAT TO THE BOUNDARY COMMITTEE. .

[7. Proclamations and Recognitions]

>> THANK YOU FOR THE EXPECTED PARTNERSHIP TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE

THE BEST SHOES. >>MAYOR WALKER: NOW FOR OUR PROCLAMATIONS. YES.

>>MAYOR WALKER: COMMISSIONER BRIER.

>>COMMISSIONER BRIER: OUR FIRST PROCLAMATION IS FOR FRED YARMUTH. FREDDIE THE REF RECENTLY -- HE WAS HONORED -- COME ON UP. SEE, HE BELIEVES IT THIS IS FRED YARMUTH. YOU DON'T KNOW HIM BY THAT NAME, BUT THAT IS HIS NAME. ALL DRESSED UP.

RECENTLY FRED YARMUTH WAS HONORED BEING INDUCTED IN THE BROWARD SENIOR HALL OF FAME. AND WE DID NOT WANT THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PASS WITHOUT CALLING ATTENTION TO HIS IMPACT ON PARKLAND. HE HAS BEEN A RESIDENT OF OUR CITY FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS AND RAISED HIS FAMILY -- HERE SITTING IN THE BACK. BUT ITS EFFORTS AS FREDDIE THE REF HAS IMPACTED SO MANY FAMILIES.

FOR 28 YEARS, HE HAS INITIATED THOUSANDS OF GAME IN VARIOUS SPORTS, ALL FOR THE BENEFIT OF PARKLAND YOUTH SPORTS.

FULL HIS FEELINGS, DEMEANOR AND SMILE AND PASSION HAVE ALL ENDEARED HIM TO OUR COMMUNITY, OUR YOUTH COACHES, OUR PARENTS AND OUR YOUNG ATHLETIC I CAN COMPETITORS.

SOME THAT ARE HERE TONIGHT. ADDITION TO BEING A GREAT REFEREE -- WE HAVE TAKEN LIBERTIES WITH THAT TERM.

HE HAS ALSO MANAGED TO BE A TEACHER AND ROLE MODEL TO MULTIPLE GENERATIONS OF PARKLAND CHILDREN INCLUDING THREE GENERATIONS OF BRIERS COACHING ONLY THE FIELD AND REF LEAGUE.

RESULTED IN HIM TAKING TIME TO TEACH CHILDREN, VOLUNTEERS AND OTHER RECIPES NOT ONLY THE RULINGS OF THE GAME BUT THE VALUE OF SPORTSMANSHIP. AND ALL OF THIS HAS PLAYED A KEY

[00:30:03]

HE EMBODIES THE EXPERT OF BUILDING IT THE RIGHT WAY.

NO WONDER THAT THE BROWARD AREA AGENCY RECENTLY HONORED HIM OF INDUCTION INTO THE HUTCHINSON BROWARD SENIOR HALL OF FAME.

BUT THOSE OF US TUCKED AWAY IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF BROWARD COUNTY. AND THOSE BENEFITED MOST FROM HIS CHARACTER AND GIVING WILL KNOW HIM AS FREDDIE THE REF AND GRATEFUL FOR HIS YOU CONTRIBUTION TO PARKLAND.

CONGRATULATIONS, FREDDIE.

. >> MISS VIOLET, COMING TO HELP YOU. HE HAD HE HAD.

COME ON UP HERE. -- VIOLET EDWARDS.

COME ON. IF YOU WANT TO TAKE IT, TAKE IT.

COME ON UP HERE FOR ME. TURN AROUND TO EVERYBODY CAN SEE BUT. BY NOW PEOPLE AROUND THE COUNTRY LEARNED THE STORY OF VIOLET EDWARDS.

SINCE SHE IS A PARKLAND RESIDENT, SHE HAS SPECIAL MEANING TO US. VIOLET STARTED COLLEGE IN THE 1980S AND NEVER FINISHED BECAUSE HAD TO END THIS TO HER FAMILY.

PART OF THE HELP IS FOR PAYING FOR HER DAUGHTER TO GO TO MEDICAL SCHOOL. THE GOOD NEWS IS, VIOLET WAS ABLE TO WORK FOR SEVERAL DECADES IN HER DAUGHTER'S PRACTICE.

VIOLET CONTEMPLATED TO GO BACK TO COLLEGE WHERE SHE BEGAN STUDIES IN THE '80S AND SO LONG SINCE SHE ATTENDED HER COLLEGE HAD CLOSED. HER CREDITS WERE STILL ON THE BOOKS AND GOT TRANSFERRED. LAST YEAR BEGAN TAKING ONLINE COURSES TO REALIZE THE DREAM SHE PUT ASIDE FOR HER FAMILY AND THIS YEAR EARNED HER DEGREE WITH A 4.0 GRADE AVERAGE.

VERY FEW PEOPLE COMPLETE A COLLEGE DEGREE AGE OF 96 -- EVEN FEWER DO IT. EVEN FEWER DO IT AT THAT AGE WHILE FIGHTING BREAST CANCER. PARKLAND IS A COMMUNITY THAT ISN'T SHORT ON GOOD PEOPLE DOING THINGS THAT MAKE US ALL PROUD, BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN SOMEONE EEMERGES IN AN EXCEPTIONAL WAY, SOMEONE THAT DOESN'T JUST MAKE US PROUD BUT MAKES US THINK ABOUT OUR OWN GOALS AND WHAT WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH.

CONGRATULATIONS TO VIOLET ON THIS GREAT ACHIEVEMENT.

AND THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR INSPIRATION [APPLAUSE] .

[APPLAUSE] >>MAYOR WALKER: WE ARE GOING TO CALL UP -- WHO IS HERE FROM THE COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD IN I SEE BILL KENNEDY, DR. KIMMEL, JEFF WOLF.

IS THAT IS IT? WE WILL CALL THEM UP REAL QUICK.

BILL? >> GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

BASICALLY WHAT THE -- OH GARRETT, KENDRA.

WE HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF US HERE.

THAT'S GREAT. SO BASICALLY, WHAT THE YOUTH AMBASSADOR PROGRAM IS ALL ABOUT IS ITS STUDENTS THAT BECOME LIAISON BETWEEN THE STUDENT -- BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT AND THE STUDENT BODY. WHAT THE CITY OF PARKLAND DECIDE THIS YEAR IS TO CHOOSE FIVE EXTREMELY TALENTED INDIVIDUALS

[00:35:04]

BASICALLY, IT WAS -- IT WAS A PRETTY LONG PROCESS.

THEY HAD TO DO ESSAYS. THEY HAD TO DO LIVE INTERVIEWS WITH THE COMMISSION -- I MEAN, WITH THE BOARD MEMBERS.

THEY HAD TO -- THEIR GRADES WERE AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THIS.

THEY HAD LETTER OF RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE PART OF THIS. AND WE HAD A LOT -- A LOT OF APPLICANTS. A LOT OF TALENTED, TALENTED KIDS THAT WERE PUT IN APPLICATIONS FOR THIS.

I WISH WE COULD HAVE TAKEN ALL OF THEM BECAUSE ONE THING ABOUT THE CITY OF PARKLAND IS THE KIDS WE HAVE IN OUR COMMUNITY ARE AMAZING WHEN IT COMES TO THE EDUCATION THAT THESE KIDS HAVE.

AND JUST THE TALENT, THE COMMUNITY HOURS THESE KIDS PUT IN. THEY PUT IN MORE COMMUNITY HOURS THAN I THINK I DO AT MY JOB. I MEAN, IT IS CRAZY.

IT IS BASICALLY 11TH GRADE STUDENTS THAT WILL PARTNER WITH THE MAY I DON'T REMEMBER, THE CITY COMMISSION, THE CITY MAN -- THE MAYOR, THE CITY COMMISSION AND THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE AND OPEN AND FOSTER COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE CITY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE YOUTH OF OUR COMMUNITY.

THEY WILL FOCUS ON TOP EX SUCH AS DRUG AND ALCOHOL EDUCATION, UNDERAGED DRINKING AND DRIVING, ANTI-BULLYING CAMPAIGNS, MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS, VOTER AWARENESS.

THESE ARE A FEW OF THE THIS I THINK SO THESE KIDS WILL BE DOING. THEY ARE GOING TO START OUR FIRST TASK TONIGHT. A 500-WORD ESSAY THEY WILL HAVE TO COMPLETE BY TOMORROW -- I AM ONLY KIDDING.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT. YOU CAN GET A BREAK TONIGHT.

THAT WAS -- THAT WAS SIMEON'S IDEA, BUT, NO.

WE HAVE FIVE STUDENTS THAT WERE SHOWSEN.

THEY ARE GOING TO -- WHEN THEY ARE FINISHED ANY ASSIGNMENT, THEY WILL GET A $2500 SCHOLARSHIP, EACH OF THEM.

THEY WILL GET TEN SERVICE HOURS PER MONTH FOR THE DURATION OF THE PROGRAM. THEY ARE GOING TO RECEIVE LETTERS OF COMMENDATION FROM THE MAYOR.

AND A LOT OF OTHER NICE THINGS THAT THEY WILL BE A PART OF.

YEAH, YEAH. SO IT IS PRETTY AMAZING WHAT THESE KIDS ARE GOING TO GET. LET ME 'NOUNCE THE FIVE RECIPIENTS OF OUR AMBASSADOR PROGRAM.

THE FIRST ONE FOR THE CITY OF PARKLAND.

I HOPE IT GOES ON FOR YEARS AND YEARS.

I KNOW A LOT OF THESE KIDS PERSONALLY AND LIKE I SAID, THESE KIDS WERE AMAZING. I HAD TO RECUSE MYSELF TO THE PROCESS PAUSE MY DAUGHTER HAPPENED TO BE ONE OF THE APPLICANTS. AND SO I HAD TO STEP AWAY FROM THE PROCESS, BUT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN HERE WERE THE ONES THAT STEPPEDED IN AND PART OF THE INTERVIEW PROCESS.

THEY WERE PART OF THE OF APPLICATION PROCESS AND IT IS PRETTY AMAZING WHAT THESE KIDS HAVE ACCOMPLISHED.

LET ME NAME THE FIVE. AS I NAME YOU, YOU CAN COME UP HERE. ANGELINA KENNEDY.

HE IS ONE OF OUR TALLEST MEMBERS.

PINE TRAILS PARK IS THE SITE OF THEIR HOME GAMES.

IN 2016, THE RANGERS JOINED THE GOLD COAST POP WARNER CONFERENCE WHICH ENCOMPASSES BROWARD COUNTY AND SOUTH PALM BEACH COUNTY.

THE TACKLE FOOTBALL PROGRAM AND CHEERLEADING PROGRAM IS DEDICATED OF PROVIDING A POSITIVE AND ENRICHING ENVIRONMENT FOR THE CHILDREN, PARTICIPANTS AND THEIR PARENTS.

SEPARATE THIS GROUP FROM MANY OTHERS IS THE MUST PLAY RULE.

THIS RULE OUTLINES THAT IN ORDER TO EFFECTIVELY TEACH DISCIPLINE, DEDICATION AND TEAMWORK TO ALL PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS, EACH PLAYER MUST PLAY IN EVERY TEAM. THIS CONCEPT IS FOUNDED ON.THE PREMISE OF DEVELOPING THE SKILLS NECESSARILY TO 2340 NOT ONLY SUCCEED IN TEAM ATHLETICS BUT ALSO IN LIFE.

[10. Regular Agenda]

UNANIMOUSLY. >> OKAY.

NOW ON THE AGENDA. I WAS WAITING FOR ANTHONY.

ITEM 10A IS ORDINANCE 2022-003: CREATING DRIEFLSZ EXPANSION REGULATIONS SECOND READING. ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE CITY OF PARKLAND LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE BY AMENDING ARTICLE 90, OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING SECTION 09-520 LOCATION, CHARACTER AND SIZE TO PROVIDE REGULATIONS RELATING TO DRIVEWAY WIDTHS FOR SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLING UNITS, PROVIDING FOR IMPLEMENTATION, CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY AND AN EFFECTIVE

DATE. >> GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS, GAIL EASTERLY, THE SENIOR PLANNER IN THE PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT. THIS ORDINANCE YOU HAD SEEN IN JULY ON FIRST READING. ALL OF THE CHANGES THAT WE HAD GONE THROUGH PRETTY MUCH BEEN ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMMISSION.

THERE WAS ONE AREA OF CONCERN. AND I WILL BRING UP SLIDE NUMBER 4. BASICALLY THE ONLY CHANGE THAT WILL BE DONE TO THE ORDINANCE TO ADDRESS YOUR COMMENTS.

SO BASICALLY, WE HAVE CREATED THREE THRESHOLDS BASED ON LOT FRONTAGE. IF YOU WERE UNDER 50 FEET WHICH WILL BE A SMALL LOT OR POSSIBLY A CUL-DE-SAC LOT, THE MAXIMUM COVERAGE OF THE FRONT YARD WILL BE 60% OF THE FRONTAGE OR 20 FEET, WHICHEVER IS LESS. FOR LOTS 50 TO 100 FEET IN FRONTAGE, IT WOULD BE -- I AM SORRY, 60% WAS ON THE 50-FOOT LOTS. 50% ON THE 50 TO 100-FOOT LOTS WITH A MAXIMUM OF 40. AND 40% WITH A MAXIMUM OF 60 FEET FOR LOTS HAVING GREATER THAN 100 FEET OF FRONTAGE WHICH WILL BE BASICALLY YOUR ACRE LOTS AND RANCH LOTS.

THE THRESHOLD FOR THE 50 TO 100, IT'S KIND OF AT THE 10-FOOT THRESHOLD WE GO FROM A R-3 DENSITY TO HALF ACRE OR LARGER LOT. THAT IS KIND OF WHY WE USE THE 100 FOOT AS KINDS OF THE DIVIDER FOR THAT ONE THRESHOLD.

I LOOKED AT O'ER CITIES. AND THESE -- THESE REGULATIONS CLOSELY MIRROR SOME STANDARDS THAT HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED IN MIRAMAR WHICH SEEMED TO BE WORKING AS WELL.

I AM NOT SURE THAT A LOT OF OTHER COMMUNITIES ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE BECAUSE THEY ARE A MORE ESTABLISHED OLDER COMMUNITY WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE NORTHWEST PART OF THE CITY. SO NOT A LOT OF CITIES THAT HAD A LOT OF REGULATIONS BUT MIRAMAR SEEMED TO BE ONE OF THE BETTER ONES. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I

WILL BE HAPPY TO. >>MAYOR WALKER: ANYBODY HAVE ANY

QUESTIONS? >> I HAVE ONE.

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE MINIMUM OF BEING 12 FEET.

I AM TRYING TO THINK, IS THAT OF THE ACTUAL WIDTH OF THE PART OF THE DRIVEWAY? OR DOES IT HAVE TO BE IN TOTALITY FOR SOME. I WAS THINKING IF SOMEONE HAD A SEPARATE GOLF CART GARAGE. REQUIRED TO BE 12 FEET IF THAT

IS SEPARATELY TO THE STREET? >> NO, BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T BE A

VEHICULAR SPACE. >> OKAY.

>> WE WOULD ALLOW THAT TO BE SIX TO SEVEN FEET IN WIDTH.

>> OKAY. >>MAYOR WALKER: ANYBODY ELSE.

>> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND.

I MEAN, I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT I HAVE A BRIEF COMMENT IF THAT -- I KNOW YOU JUMPED AHEAD TO THE MOTION.

I WILL GO BACK TO WHAT I SAID BEFORE AND I APPRECIATE THE LABOR BEING PUT INTO TO FIGURE OUT THESE DIMENSIONS AND EVERYTHING, BUT I REALLY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF DISCOMFORT OF TURNING PEOPLE'S YARDS INTO AT THAT PARKING LOT.

THAT IS REALLY WHAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT.

I UNDERSTAND -- WE GOT SOME SMALLER HOUSING AREAS WHERE -- WHERE PEOPLE ARE A LITTLE MORE CONDENSED AND THEY HAVE SOME DIFFICULTY BECAUSE THE ROADWAY AREAS ARE NOT ALLOWING FOR PARKING ON THE ROADWAY AND STUFF LIKE THAT, I WANTED TO BE MINDFUL THAT -- DOESN'T WANT TO TURN OUR COMMUNITIES INTO

PARKING LOTS. >> CAN YOU REITERATE WHAT THIS CODE IS PRIOR TO BEING IMPLEMENTED?

>> YES, CURRENTLY THERE ARE BASICALLY THREE REQUIREMENTS TO PAVE YOUR FRONT I CAN'TRD. TWO FIVE-FOOT SIDE YARD SETBACK REQUIREMENTS. THERE IS A REQUIREMENT ON MOST OF THE PLANNED COMMUNITIES FOR TREES IN THE FRONT YARD ALTHOUGH WE OFTEN SEE THEM SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENTED OR RELOCATED TO A HE COME DATE THESE LARGER DRIVEWAYS.

AND A REQUIRED OPEN SPACE ON THE OVERALL LOT.

[00:55:02]

PREVENT -- >> KERR REVENLTLY RIGHT NOW YOU COULD -- CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW YOU COULD BLACKTOP, CONCRETE, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO, YOUR ENTIRE DRIVEWAY WITH FIVE-FOOT

SETBACKS. >> FIVE-FOOT SETBACKS.

>> AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THE TREES IN PLACE AND ALL THAT KIND OF

STUFF. >> CURRENT CODE.

THIS CODE IS FAR MORE RESTRICTIVE THAN WHAT IS CURR CURRENTLY.

I HAVE A DIFFERENT TABT. I APPRECIATE WHAT STAFF DID.

WE ALREADY MADE THIS MUCH MORE RESTRICTIVE.

THERE ARE NO CONCRETE PARKING LOTS AT THE MOMENT AND WE MADE IT MOST STRICT. MORE OPTIONS OR OPPORTUNITIES FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. WHAT I AM NOT A FAN OF IS THAT WE ARE NOW MAKING IT EVEN MORE RESTRICTIVE.

>> RIGHT, LET ME -- >> FOR ME -- I APPRECIATE IT.

I BELIEVE IF WE ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING RESTRICTIVE, WE SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE MADE IT FEAR FOR EVERYONE.

AND NOW IF YOU HAVE A BIGGER LOT, YOU ARE MORE RESTRICTED.

I MADE THOSE COMMENTS AT THE LAST MEETING.

I HAD THOSE SAME COMMENTS. I DON'T WANT TO -- YOU KNOW, SO AT THIS JUNCTURE, YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS.

>> RIGHT, THIS WILL HELP SUPPORT THE STAFFING AND KEEPING GREEN SPACE IN THE FRONT YARD. AS YOU CAN SEE ON MOST OF THE THRESHOLDS, YOU CAN'T COVER MORE THAN 50% OR OFTEN WITH THE -- WHICHEVER IS LESS. IT IS ACTUALLY LESS THAN 50% OR 40% OR 60%. CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW, FOR EXAMPLE, ON A 50-FOOT LOT, YOU CAN PAY 40 FEET AND YOU ONLY HAVE THE TWO FIVE-FOOT SETBACKS. UNDER THIS RULE ON A 50-FOOT LOT, YOU COULD PAVE NO MORE THAN 40 FEET.

50% OF 50 WHICH WILL BE 25. IF YOUR LOT WAS UP TO 100, IT WOULD BE 40. ON A 50-FOOT LOT 25 FIGHTS VERSUS THE 40 THAT ARE KERR RENTSLY ALLOWED UNDER THE

EXISTING REGULATIONS. >> OKAY.

THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING THAT. >> THANK YOU.

>>MAYOR WALKER: ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS

EVENING ITEM? >> I HAVE A QUESTION, MAYOR.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID RIGHT NOW THERE WAS NO CODE IN PLACE THAT RESTREKTS IT. SO THIS IS BEING MORE RESTRICTIVE -- RESTRICT IT. SO THIS IS BEING MORE RESTREKTS I HAVE IT THAN IT IS NOW. WHAT WAS YOUR CONCERN?

>>MAYOR: MY CONCERN IS THAT WE ARE TREATING HOMEOWNERS DIFFERENTLY. WE TRIED TO FIX A PROBLEM FOR COMMUNITIES THAT WE APPROVED THAT NEEDED MORE THAN 50%.

WE ARE MAKING MORE RESTRICTIVE. AS I SAID IN THE LAST MEETING TREATING EVERYBODY THE SAME 100-FOOT LOT OR 200-FOOT LOT.

WHATEVER. RIGHT NOW NO RESTRICTIONS.

NOBODY IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND BLACKTOPPING THEIR ENTIRE FRONT YARD. THAT IS NOT HAPPENING NOW.

WE ARE MAKING IT MORE RESTRICTIVE.

WE ARE MAKING IT 50%. I AM OKAY WITH THAT.

BUT WE ARE DOING THIS TO SOLVE A PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE IN WEDGE, QUITE FRANKLY, WHICH IS GOOD. I WANT TO SEE THAT PROBLEM SOLVED, BUT WE ARE IMPLEMENTING 50% TO EVERYONE IN THE CITY, BUT NOW, WE ARE MAKING IT MORE RESTRICTIVE.

NOW WE ARE GOING 60%, 50%, 40%. WE ARE TAKING A RESTRICTIVE ORDINANCE AND MAKING IT MORE RESTRICTIVE.

THAT IS THE ONLY ISSUE I HAVE. I DON'T SEE WHY WE WOULD TREAT ANYBODY DIFFERENTLY. COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN.

>>COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN: IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO COVER 50% OF THEIR LOT, WHAT WOULD BE THE PROCESS? THEY WOULD ASK FOR A VARIANCE, CORRECT IN WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT WE WOULD APPROVE IT OR NOT, BUT THEY WILL ASK FOR A VARIANCE. UP UNDERSTAND A VEHICLE AND AN EXPENSE TO IT BUT THEY COULD IF THEY WANTED TO CREATE SOMETHING WHERE THEY HAVE A CIRCULAR DRIVEWAY AND COVERED MORE THAN IT IS AND INCLUDED LANDSCAPING WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE.

>> YES. THEY COULD APPLY FOR A VARIANCE

FROM THESE STANDARDS. >> THERE IS AN OPTION IF -- IF THEY -- AGAIN, AN EXPENSIVE OPTION, BUT THERE IS AN OPTION AND THEN AGAIN, DEFENDING ON WHO IS ON THE COMMISSION, MAKES THAT

DETERMINATION. >> IS THERE A WAY TO MAKE IT

LESS COUPLER IS SOME? >> TO ME THE ORIGINAL -- THE

ORIGINAL -- CUMBERSOME. >> TO ME THE ORIGINAL -- WHATEVER THE ONE WAS, IT TREATS EVERYBODY EQUAL.

[01:00:02]

>> THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAVING A 50 -- THIS IS WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE THANKS MEETING.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAVING A 50-FOOT LOT AND HAVING 50% OF IT

-- >>MAYOR WALKER: BUT NOBODY IS

DOING IT RIGHT NOW. >> A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN APPEAR 50-FOOT LOT AND 50% OF IT FOR A DRIVEWAY, A 20-FOOT DRIVEWAY OR 200-FOOT LOT OR HAVE 50% OF IT FOR A DROVEWAY.

I AM NOT OPPOSED TO SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO BEAUTIFY THEIR PROPERTY AND GO THROUGH THAT. IF THERE IS A WAY TO MAKE IT SIMPLE TO YOUR POINT. IF SOMEBODY HAS A RANCH OR PINE TREE WHERE THEY WANT TO BEAUTIFY THEIR PROPERTY NOT MAKING IT A CONCRETE JUNGLE WHICH IS A CONCERN.

A WAY TO MAKE THE VARIANCE OR WAIVER PROCESS EASIER?

>> TO ME, AGAIN, IT BOOK SIMPLY -- IT WOULD BE SIMPLY TREATING

EVERYONE THE SEAM. >> NO, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T PUT -- YOU CAN'T PUT A 50-FOOT -- IF YOU HAVE 100-FOOT PROPERTY AND 50%. YOU CAN'T PUT A 50-FOOT DRIVEWAY ON MY PROPERTY SO WE ARE NOT TREATING THEM THE SAME.

>> MY POINT WAS YOU MAKE THE CODE THE SAME FOR EVERYONE.

IT'S 50% OR WHATEVER -- WHATEVER IT WAS.

THAT'S IT. WE ARE MAKE THIS MORE CONFUSING NOW. BECAUSE NOW THERE ARE DIFFERENT RULES FOR PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT SIZED YARDS.

WE ARE MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR STAFF TO LOOK THROUGH IT.

THEY DO THEIR MEASUREMENTS AND DO THEIR CALCULATIONS.

AND PEOPLE WHO MAY OR MAY NOT WANT TO DO SOMETHING.

AGAIN, THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT THEY HAD IN THE WE HAD.

THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR PEOPLE IN THE WEDGE.

SPECIFICALLY. THE ONLY REASON THIS CAME UP IS

PEOPLE IN THE WEDGE. >> I DON'T THINK IT IS JUST THE

WEDGE BUT A NUMBER OF OUR HOAS. >> IT'S THE WEDGE.

>> TIGHT DRIVEWAYS MORE THAN TWO CARS.

>> MOSTLY THE WEDGE. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE NOW DOING THE CONSTRUCTION. THEY JUST MOVED IN AND GETTING THEIR KIDS ON DRIVING AGE. THIS RULE WAS SPECIFICALLY FOR THEM. WHICH, AGAIN, IS FINE -- THREE

BOATS UP HERE. >> IF THIS WAS INTENDED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, HOW ABOUT FIVE-FEET SETBACKS.

COULDN'T SOMEBODY IN THE WEDGE CAN BUILD WHATEVER DRIVEWAY THEY

WANTED. >> WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE IT MORE RESTRICTIVE BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT THEM -- TELLING PEOPLE IN THE WEDGE TO NOT WANT THEM TO HAVE -- OKAY.

WE ARE TELLING PEOPLE IN THE WEDGE, WE DON'T WANT THEM TO DRIVEWAY, BLACK -- WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT, THEIR ENTIRE

YARD, EVEN THOUGH. >> I THOUGHT YOU WERE SAYING IT THE OTHER WAY MEANING THAT THE PEOPLE -- BECAUSE OF THE SMALL

DRIVEWAYS. >> THEY ARE MAKING IT BIGGER.

BUT BEFORE THEY COULD GO FIVE FEET TO TV FEET.

NOW THEY CAN. NOW THEY CAN ONLY DO 50%, WHATEVER THE CALCULATION IS. NOW THEY CAN'T BUILD AS MUCH.

>> PERSONALLY, I AM FINE WITH EITHER WAY, WHETHER WE HAVE THE DIFFERENT TIERS OR WHETHER WE JUST DO 50% FOR EITHER.

BECAUSE, AGAIN, I THINK FROM HISTORICAL BASED ON WHAT WE HAVE SEEN, PEOPLE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THIS AND THEY

HAVEN'T. >> THE PROBLEM IS FOR THE SMALLER LOTS, 50% DOES NOT GET YOU ANY RESOLUTION.

BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE A 50-FOOT LOT -- IF YOU HAVE A 50-FOOT

LOT. >> 25 FEET MINUS THE 10 FEET.

>> CORRECT. YOU HAVE 40 FEET YOU WANT TO WORK ON. IF YOU WANT TO EXPAND YOUR DRIVEWAY. SOME OF THEM 20 FEET AND A LITTLE BIT WIDER TO -- OR CLOSE TO THAT.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT SOLVED THE PROBLEM.

>> THAT IS A GOOD POINT FROM EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE, WHAT DO WE HAVE THAT SHOW WHAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PERMITTING.

WHAT DO THEY HAVE PERMITS FOR. AND TO GET A SENSE OF WHAT

PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO. >> RIGHT.

MOST AT THE CLEE WHAT WE ARE SEEING IS LARGE -- TYPICALLY WHAT WE ARE SEEING LARGE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ON 50 TO 60-FOOT LOTS WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES PREDOMINANTLY.

TWO-CAR GARAGES WITH A TWO-CAR DRIVEWAY.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE SITTING GENERALLY AT 15. THE GAFFER RAJ PORTION WILL BE SITTING BACK AT 20 AND PAVE FROM FIVE FEET TO THE OTHER FIVE-FOOT

-- >>ER IN THEY ARE NOT PAVING.

PER THOUGHTING PAVERS. >> PAVERS FOR PARKING.

AND WHAT THAT DOES BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE DEPTH TO GET

THE CARS OFF OF THE SIDEWALKS? >> DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE HOA.

>> REMOVING THE LAND SKAEPING TO THE FACE OF THE HOUSE AND

[01:05:02]

THOSE TREES ARE BEING REMOVED TO HAVE ACCOMMODATE THE DRIVEWAY

WIDENINGINGS. >> WHO IS ALLOWING THEM TO

REMOVE THE STREET TREES. >> THEY HAVE TO PULL A PERMIT AND ONE OF THE REASONS WE STOPPED SOME OF THE EXPANSIONS BECAUSE WE HAVE LARGE HEALTHY TREES THAT IT DOESN'T MAKE GOOD SENSE TO REMOVE IT. JUST FOR FIVE FEET REMOVED.

DOES THIS CODE SAY YOU CAN'T REMOVE TREES?

>> NO, THE TREE REMOVAL PROCESS IS IN THE LANDSCAPE SECTION OF THE CODE AND THE PROCESS IS IN INTACT. AS MUCH ESSENTIALLY THE SIZE OF THE DRIVEWAY. NOT SAVING TREES.

NOT SAVING LANDSCAPING, BUT RESTRICTING THE SIZE OF THEIR DRIVEWAYS. TO YOUR POINT, VICE MAYOR CUTLER, THIS DOESN'T ADDRESS ANYTHING THAT YOU ARE CONCERNED WITH. YOU ARE CONCERNED WITH SOMEBODY

PAVING THEIR ENTIRE FRONT YARD. >> RIGHT.

I AM WORRIED ABOUT THAT SCENARIO SHE JUST PAYMENTSED.

>>MAYOR WALKER: AND SOMEBODY TAKING OUT TREES.

THEY CAN TAKE WHATEVER LANDSCAPING THEY WANT AND CREATE A DRIVEWAY. THAT IS NOT SOLVED IN THIS

PARTICULAR CODE. >> SUBJECT TO THE SAME REGULATIONS CURRENTLY IN PLACE --

>> BUT MAYOR, WOULDN'T YOUR CONCERN --

>> WAIT, BEFORE WE GET INTO THAT, I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE CLEAR. CURRENT REGULATIONS HAVE THEM REQUIRE THE TREE THERE. AND THEY ARE USING THE PERMITS TO REMOVE THE TREES WHAT I AM UNDER STANDING YOU TO SAY.

>> REMOVE AND RELOCATE THEM TO ACCOMMODATE THE EXPANDED

DRIVEWAYS. >> THEREIN LIES MY ISSUE.

WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO HERE AS A COMMISSION GLOBALLY IS TO MAKE SURE WE NOT JUST ACCOMMODATE THESE INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNERSES AND INDIVIDUAL HOAS AND GLOBALLY WHAT PROPERTY VALUE IT IS WE TURN THE PLACE INTO A CONCRETE JUNGLE.

THAT IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO AVOID.

>> TO ME, THE SIZE OF THE DRIVEWAY IS IRRELEVANT BASED ON WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. HOW MUCH LANDSCAPE SOMETHING AROUND THAT DRIVEWAY. SO, TO ME, THIS DOESN'T SOLVE THAT PROBLEM. BECAUSE IF THEY CAN STILL GET A PERMIT TO REMOVE A TREE, THAT DOESN'T FIX -- WHEN --

>> WHY DON'T WE ADDRESS IT HERE. >> WHEN VICE MAYOR CUTLER TALKS OF A CONCRETE JUNGLE, HE IS TALKING ABOUT A LACK OF GREEN.

AM I RIGHT IN SAYING THAT? NOT NECESSARILY THE SIZE OF THE DRIVEWAY, BUT MORE SO WHAT SURROUND IT.

SO THIS CODE DOES NOT -- AND THAT -- I AGREE WITH WHOLEHEARTEDLY. I HAVE ZERO PROBLEM WITH THE SIZE OF THE DRIVEWAY, BUT I DO WANT TO SEE LANDSCAPING, GREENERY, WHAT HAVE YOU. AND AGAIN, MY NEXT POINT, I WANT TO TREAT EVERYBODY THE SAME. I DON'T KNOW HOW BIG YOUR LOT IT, IT IS WHAT IT IS. BUT I DO AGREE THERE NEEDS TO BE LANDSCAPING BECAUSE THAT'S. LOOK, WE ARE PARKLAND, ABOUT PARKS, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER, BUT HAVING THAT GREENERY IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT. NO THE SIZE OF THE DRIVEWAYS.

>> I AM GOING TO SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS.

I THINK THERE IS A WAY TO SAVE YOUR CONCERN WHICH IS JUST ADDRESS THE THIRD POINT. 50 FEET.

WHATEVER IS LESS. SHOULD CHARGE THE INDESPARATE OR DESPERATE TREATMENT. IN OUR INFINITE, WE HAVE APPROVED LOTS THAT HAVE VERY NARROW DRIVEWAYS.

ESPECIALLY ON CORNERS. VERY NARROW DRIVEWAYS.

THEY HAVE -- THEY DON'T HAVE 50 FEET.

SOME OF THEM DON'T HAVE 40 FEET. PUTTING A 20-FOOT DRIVEWAY THERE IS A CHALLENGE, ESPECIALLY WITH LANDSCAPING AND FIVE-FOOT BUFFER WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO ADDRESS. IDON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A LARGER LOT AND A NICE WELL LANDSCAPED DRIVEWAY AND BEAUTIFYING THAT. IF YOU ARE CONCERNED -- YOU CAN'T SAY 50% ACROSS THE BOARD BECAUSE IF I HAVE A 38-FOOT LOT AND A PIE-SHAPED LOT, I CAN'T EVEN HAVE A 20-FOOT DRIVEWAY AND 50% OF THAT IS NOT 20 FEET. SO I THINK THAT IS THE PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE TREEING TO ADDRESS.

YOU CAN'T SAY 50% OFF ACROSS THE BOARD BECAUSE NOT TREATING EVERYONE FAIR. A MINIMUM OF A 20-FOOT DRIVEWAY

ALLOWED. >> AGAIN THAT -- AND IF I AM

[01:10:03]

OBVIOUSLY TO SOME -- BUT AT LEAST YOU WILL HAVE GREENERY, YOU WILL HAVE LANDSCAPING AND TREES.

IF YOU ARE TELLING ME, AGAIN, I DON'T EVEN LIKE TALKING OF THE SIZE OF THE DRIVEWAY, BUT WHATEVER SIZE DRIVEWAY YOU MAKE, WHETHER IT IS SMALLER, YET YOU STILL TAKE OUT TREES, THAT DEFEATS THE WHOLE PURPOSE. I THINK THAT IS WHAT -- I WOULD RATHER JUST SEE THE CODE MAKE THE DRIVEWAY WHATEVER, BUT YOU NEED X AMOUNT OF GREENERY AROUND IT.

>> YOU ARE NOT ADDRESSING THE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SCENARIO.

SOMEONE PAVES 80% OF THE FRONT YARD.

>> NOT KEN -- >> PART OF WHAT I AM SAYING.

>> I HAVE GOT -- >> DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.

>> IF YOU HAVE GREENERY. >> APPROXIMATELY HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE -- WHETHER THEY HAVE COME FOR A PERMIT OR EXTENDED THEIR DRIVEWAY IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND TO DATE.

APPROXIMATELY APPROXIMATELY OR AT LEAST THE LAST 12 MONTHS.

>> I DON'T KNOW IF HE CAN GO HIS FOR CLEE.

>> 200, 2,000. >> ALEXANDER BARR, CITY ENGINEER. I HAVE ONLY SEEN TWO.

ONE IN HERON BAY AND ANOTHER IN LENNAR DEVELOPMENT THAT CAME IN

WITH A DRIVEWAY WIDENING. >> HOW MANY ARE -- CAN CALL IT IN PRESIDENT QUEUE. JUST TWO?

. >> I ONLY HAVE SEEN TWO

RECENTLY. >> TWO RECENTLY.

ONE COMMENT WILL BE -- JUST BECAUSE YOU APPLY FOR A TREE REMOVAL PERMIT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT IT WILL BE IMPROVED. THERE IS AN ASSESSMENT DONE.

THE ASSESSMENT OF THE QUALITY OF THE TREE, WHETHER MITIGATION OR TREE REPLACEMENT OF A DIFFERENT SPECIES IS BETTER.

JUST BECAUSE YOU APPLY DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE APPROVED.

WE HAVE DENIED TREE REMOVAL PERMITS JUST BECAUSE THERE IS NO GOOD REASON OTHER THAN AN EXTRA THREE OR FOUR FEET OF PAVERS WHICH SUSPECTS PROVIDING ANOTHER SPACE FOR A VEHICLE.

SO, YOU KNOW, YOU ARE MOVING A TREE FOR NOT REALLY A HUGE

BENEFIT FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER. >> I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, IS THERE A WAY TO ADDRESS THIS WHICH -- WHICH COVERS VICE MAYOR CUTLER'S CONCERNS AND COVERS THE MAYOR'S CONCERNS WHERE I MEAN -- I GUESS TO SOME POINT -- WITH AN AS-NEEDED BASIS WHERE PEOPLE COME IN AND PRESENT A LANDSCAPE PLAN.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SPECIFICALLY ARCHITECTURALLY.

AND SAY, HEY, I WANT -- I WANT TO WIDEN MY DRIVEWAY FIVE FEET AND PUT SHRUBS IN HERE AND SOMEBODY SAYS IT'S APPROVED.

>> RIGHT, THE THEORY WAS BY REDUCING THE SIZE OF THE DRIVEWAY IN THE FRONT YARD, IT RELIEVES THE PRESSURE OF THE TREE REMOVAL THAT HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF THE -- OF THE DRIVEWAY EXPANSION. SO IF WE ARE CAPPING THAT DRIVEWAY AT -- SAY ON A 50-FOOT LOT AT THE 25-FOOT WIDTH, THAT STREET TREE THAT IS PROBABLY EIGHT OR NINE FEET OFF THE PROPERTY LINE. AT THE 25-FOOT WIDTH, THAT STREET TREE WILL PROBABLY REMAIN.

CURRENT REGULATIONS, 40 FEET OF THE 50-FOOT LOT COULD BE PAVED.

THAT TREE WILL HAVE A REQUEST FOR TREE REMOVAL AND WILL BE -- OTHER THAN STOPPING OR DENYING THE TREE REMOVAL PERMIT, IF THE LANDSCAPING RIGHT UP AGAINST THE HOUSE WILL REMAIN, NO OTHER REASON TO DENY THAT PERMIT UNDER THE CURRENT CODE.

>> WHAT IF YOU HAD A PERCENTAGE OF THE LOT FRONTAGE SUBJECT TO APPROPRIATE LANDSCAPING. WOULDN'T THAT SOLVE BOTH THE MAYOR'S CONCERN -- OR IF YOU CAN DEFINE WHAT THAT MEANS.

>> WE HAVE TO DEFINE WHAT APPROPRIATE LANDSCAPING IS.

>> TWO SIDES. THE MAYOR DOESN'T WANT TO STRICT PEOPLE FROM BUILDING THE BEAUTIFUL DRIVEWAYS.

WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE BEAUTIFUL DRIVEWAYS BUT THE NIGHTMARE SCENARIOS. A WAY TO ADDRESS THIS BY SAYING WE ARE GOING TO ALLOW IT. IF YOU ARE UNDER 50 -- UNDER 50 FEET, I GET IT ALLOWING THEM WITH A HIGHER PERCENTAGE.

A CERTAIN WIDTH OF A DRIVEWAY TO PARK CARS SIDE BY SIDE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW WE ALLOWED SOME OF THE HOUSES TO BE BUILT LIKE THIS, BUT WE DID. FOR THE LARGER LOTS, THE SIZE IS -- THE MAXIMUM SIZE THAT WE ARE CONCERNED WITH, NOT THE MEN MUM SIZE FOR TWO CARS. IS THERE A WAY TO ADDRESS BOTH ISSUE BUSINESS SAYING IF YOU HAVE A SMALL LOT, 60%.

A BIGGER LOT, 50%, WHATEVER IT IS BUT ALL ARE SUBJECT TO THE

[01:15:04]

>> NOT MANY THAT CAN DO A CIRCULAR DRIVEWAY IN THE WEDGE.

THAT IS MORE A JOKE. >> I AM TALKING ABOUT THE LARGER

LOTS. >> THE LARGER LOTS TO ME SEEM LIKE A TOTAL NONISSUE BECAUSE THEY COULD HAVE DONE ALREADY WHAT THEY WANTED AND THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING.

>> JUST BECAUSE WE DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE, DOESN'T MEAN

WE CAN'T FIX IT NOW. >> WHAT WAS THE PRECIPITOUS TO BRING THIS GOOD TWO OTHER THINGS.

DRAINAGE. YOU ARE CREATING MORE IMPERVIOUS AREA WHERE THE WATER FLOWS TO THE STREET AND DOESN'T HAVE TIME TO SEEP INTO THE GROUND AND UTILITY.

CLEAN-OUT VALVES OR RECOVERY. AND IN OUR CODE, YOU CAN'T PUT UTILITIES BOXES WITHIN DRIVEWAYS AND CLEAN OUTS.

>> L-SHAPED THAT YOU CAN'T NAVIGATE INTO A GARAGE BECAUSE YOU CAN GO IN AND MAKE A POSSIBLE SHARP RIGHT TTURN.

>> WHAT WAS -- WHY DID WE BRING IN CODE UP?

WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL INTENTION? >> IT IS PREDOMINANTLY TO ADDRESS PERMIT REQUESTS IN THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE CITY IN WHERE WE WERE SEEING A LOT OF 50 AND 60-FOOT-WIDE LOTS WANTING TO PAVE 36 FEET ROUGHLY OR MORE TO ACCOMMODATE FOUR CARS PARKING ON THE SIDE OF THE LOT. BECAUSE A LOT OF THE HOMES ARE FOUR BEDROOMS AND TWO WORKING ADULTS GENERALLY WITH MAYBE SOME TEENAGERS. THE GARAGES.

SOME ARE BEING USED. SOME ARE NOT.

SOME ARE BEING USED FOR STORAGE. ONCE YOU GET MORE THAN TWO CARS IN THE DRIVEWAY, NOT INCLUDING THE GAR RANCH, YOU ARE RUNNING OUT OF PARKING. AND THE HOAS ARE STRICT OF ENFORCING PARKING ON THE STREET. SO RESIDENTS HAVE SEEN OTHER RESIDENTS PAVING A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THEIR YARD AND SAYING I WANT WHAT THEY HAVE. AND WE ARE GOING, YEAH, WE ARE LOSING STREET TREES. WE ARE LOSING LANDSCAPING.

EVERY TIME WE GO MORE THAN A CERTAIN WIDTH.

BECAUSE ON THAT SIDE YARD, YOU KNOW, SAY ON THAT 50-FOOT LOT, AN 18-FOOT-WIDE DRIVEWAY WHICH IS FIVE FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE. THERE WE HAVE 23 FEET.

WHAT IS LEFT THEN IS 27 FEET. AND, YOU KNOW, IF YOU ADD ANOTHER PARKING SPACE WHICH IS NINE FEET NOW, YOU KNOW, 27 HAS GONE TO -- TO 18 OR 19. AND IF YOU HAD ONE MORE SPACE, SOME ARE DOWN TO HEALTH OR NINE AND WE HAVE BASICALLY PAVED THE ENTIRE FRONT YARD. ONE THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU. THIS IS THE REGULATION THAT YOU CONSIDERED ON JULY 134. IT SAID -- JULY 13.

INSTEAD OF CULL IS HE DAK OR PIE-SHAPED HAVING LESS THAN 50 FEET OF FRONTAGE, THE MAXIMUM WIDTH OF ANY DRIVEWAY WILL NOT HAVE 50% OF THE LOT FRONTAGE. IF WE WANT TO GO BACK TO THAT, WE CAN PUT A CAP. 50% OF THE FRONTAGE WITH NO MORE THAN BLANK -- AND SET A NUMBER AND ONE STANDARD FOR EVERYONE.

WHAT I CAN TELL FROM YOU DIFFERENT OTHER CITIES.

SOUTHWEST RANCHES HAVE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO MIRAMAR.

SIMILAR TO WHAT THE REVISION IS. BOCA HAS TWO DRIVEWAYS 24 FEET WITH A 20-FOOT SEPARATION. COCONUT CREEK, MAXIMUM OF FOUR PAVED PARKING SPACES LOCATED IN THE FRONT YARD WITH A THREE-FOOT SIDE SETBACK. AND DAVIE WAS ACTUALLY VERY RESTRICTIVE. HAD 20% MAXIMUM OF THE LOT FRONTAGE WITH A FIVE-FOOT SIDE SETBACK REQUIREMENT.

>> THE SOUTHWEST RANCHES HAVE THE SAME REQUIREMENT HERE THAT -- IF YOU ARE OVER 100 FEET OF FRONTAGE, 40% WITH A 60 FOOT

CAP? >> FOR SOUTHWEST RANCHES AND FOR MIRAMAR, IF YOU HAVE UNDER 50 FOOT OF FRONTAGE, YOU GET A MANAGES MUM DRIVEWAY OF 20 FEET. 50 TO 64 FEET OF FRONTAGE, YOU GET A MAXIMUM DRIVEWAY OF 30 FEET.

BUT THAT CAN BE SPLIT ON MORE THAN ONE FRONTAGE.

[01:20:03]

IF YOU ARE OVER 65 FEET OF FRONTAGE, THE MAXIMUM DROVEWAY WIDTH IS 30 FEET FOR ONE STREET AND 40 FEET FOR TWO STREETS

OVERALL. >> OURS IS LESS RESTRICTIVE IT SOUNDS LIKE THAN SOUTHWEST RANCHES.

SLIGHTLY LESS RESTRICTIVE. >> WE HAVE LOTS THE SIZE --

>> THAT IS NOT WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE WEDGE. >> WE CAN MAKE THE ORDINANCE SUBJECT TO LOTS JUST UNDER A CERTAIN SIZE ARE SUBJECT TO THIS

THRESHOLD. >> WE ARE TRYING TO -- WELL, TO SAY WE ARE TRYING TO. THEY ARE ALREADY ALLOWED TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT MINUS THE FIVE FOOT WHATEVER.

>> YES. >> WE ARE TRYING TO LIMIT WHAT THEY CAN DO SO THAT WE CAN ADDRESS DRAINAGE.

WE CAN ADDRESS WHATEVER. W ARE NOT TALKING -- WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT TREES HERE, BUT WE HAVE TO LET THEM DO SOMETHING.

BECAUSE PEOPLE CANNOT PARK, YOU KNOW -- JORDAN, YOU GOT A FEW

YEARS TO WORRY ABOUT IT. >> NO, I ALREADY HAVE A BUNCH OF DENTS ON THE SIDE OF MY CAR, DON'T WORRY.

>> REDUCING THE PAVED AREA IN THE FRONT YARD WE ARE IN EXCHANGE PRESERVING GREEN SPACE IN THE FRONT YARD AND WHERE WE SHOULD SEE LESS TREE REMOVAL BECAUSE THE TREE REMOVAL PRESSURE IS COME FROM THE DRIVEWAY WIDENINGS.

>> HERE IS MY CONCERN AND I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.

IT HAS BEEN POINTED -- POINTED OUT TO US BY OUR STAFF THAT WE HAVE A CHINK IN THE CODE, IF YOU WILL.

THAT WE DON'T HAVE A CAP ON THE SIZE OF THE DRIVEWAY.

WE WOULD BE REMISS IF NOT NIXING THE PROBLEM WITH I IS WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO. -- FIXES THE PROBLEM WHICH IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO. I STILL THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A CAP. I THINK WE SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM NOT AS APPLICABLE TO IT THE WEDGE AND SAY EVERYBODY CAN BUILD AS WIDE A DRIVEWAY IF THEY WANT.

>> I AGREE, 100%. >> AND A MINIMUM, A LOT UNDER A CERTAIN WIDTH HAS LITTLE MORE OF A STRICTER STANDARD THAN TRYING TO ADDRESS EVERY SINGLE LOT SIZE.

>> THAT IS THE ONES WE ARE TRYING TO GIVE THEM AS MUCH ROOM AS WE CAN. BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT

NEED IT. >> NO, I THOUGHT -- THIS IS WHY I ASKED EARLIER. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS, THEY WERE TAKE TOO MUCH ROOM. WE ARE TRYING TO RESTRICT.

>> NO, NO, NO, CORRECT. WE WANT TO GIVE THEM A ROOM.

>> WANT TO GIVE THEM A ROOM AND THE PARAMETERS HOW MUCH TO TAKE.

ADDRESS AN ISSUE FOR SMALLER LOT SIZES AND DO IT ACROSS ALL LOT SIZES. READING THE LANGUAGE OF IT STILL DOESN'T KIND OF ACCOMPLISH THAT. IF YOU LOOK AT IT, 60% OF THE LOT FRONTAGE OR 20 FEET. IF YOU WERE TO TAKE 630% OF AT 49-FOOT FRONTAGE. 29.4 FEET.

FIND OF MUCH ILLUSORY. THE 60% OR 40 FEET.

BECAUSE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE AT 20 FEET.

>> CORRECT, YES. >> AT 50 FEET OF FRONTAGE.

49 FEES OF FRONTAGE, YOU CAN HAVE 60%, OKAY.

YOU ARE ALMOST AT 30 FEET. >> OR 20 FEET WHATEVER IS LESS.

>> THAT IS THE LANGUAGE I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH.

>>THE 60% IS KIND OF ILLUSORY. YOU WOULD NOT HAVE SOMEONE HIT

60% ON A 49-FOOT LOT. >> NOT ON 49-FOOT LOT, BUT A SMALLER FRONTAGE LOT, THAT MAY BENEFIT SOMEBODY.

IF YOU ARE BASICALLY MORE THAN -- WHAT IS IT? 20 TIMES 60. 20 FEET TIMES 60%.

>> WHY DON'T WE SAY 60% OF THE LOT FRONTAGE OR A MAXIMUM OF X.

>> I AGREE. >> WOULDN'T THAT BE BETTER LANGUAGE TO SAY IF WE ARE TRYING TO SOLVE A PROBLEM.

IF SOMEBODY HAS A LOT THAT IS A PIE-SHAPED LOT.

>> YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE THE PIE-SHAPED LOTS -- YOU KNOW, THE FRONTAGE COULD BE VERY SMALL.

WHAT WE INTENDED TO DO WITH THE PIE-SHAPED LOTS IS TO HAVE A MEN MUM. A MAXIMUM OF 20.

WHICH IS A TWO CAR DRIVEWAY ON A PIE-HAPPIED LOT WITH LESS THAN 50 FEET OF FRONTAGE. A BIG WIDE PIE ON AN ACRE LOT,

MORE THAN 50 FEET OF FRONTAGE. >> EVERYBODY IN THE WEDGE IF WE WERE TO PASS A CODE WILL BE ALLOWED TO ADD A MINIMUM OF TWO

[01:25:06]

ADDITIONAL CARS. >> IF WE PASS THIS ORDINANCE, NO. NO.

BECAUSE, FOR EXAMPLE, ON A 50 FOOT LOT, YOU CAN ONLY HAVE A

25-FOOT-WIDE DRIVEWAY. >> DO WE KNOW WHAT THE DRIVEWAYS

ARE NOW. >> CURRENTLY 16 TO 18 FEET.

SO AT 16, IF YOU ADD NINE FEET THREE CARS ACROSS WHICH WILL BE YOUR MAX. NOW IF YOU ARE --

>> I HAVE GOT TO ASK A QUESTION, HOW IS LETTER C, NO MORE THAN 50% FOR PARKING. AND 60% OF THE FRONTAGE.

>> THE FRONTAGE IS THE WIDTH OF THE LOT AGAINST THE FRONT PROPERTY LINE. THE FRONT YARD IS THE SPACE BETWEEN THE FACE OF THE HOUSE AND THE FRONT PROPERTY LINE.

SO ONE IS CONTROLLING HOW MUCH PAVEMENT CROSSES OVER THE SWALE

INTO THE STREET. >> GOT IT AS MUCH THE OTHER -- PEOPLE WERE COMING TO THE SIDEWALK AND THEN PAVING A SQUARE AND WANTING TO COME IN AND PARK PARALLEL TO THE FACE OF THE HOUSE WHICH IS, AGAIN, PAVING THE FRONT VIEW OF THE

YARD SO YOU HAVE TO KIND OF -- >> YOU REALLY HAVE NO CHOICE.

BUT TO BLOCK THE FRONT VIEW OF YOUR HOME IN THOSE HOMES IN THE WEDGE. MOST OF THEM.

>> YES. MOST OF THE TIME WHEN WE SEE THEM WIDENING THE DRIVEWAY, IT IS BLOCKING THE FRONT DOOR.

>> I HAVE A CONCERN WE ARE GOING TO MAKE A CODE.

IT WILL MILLION TO NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR THE PARKLAND WEDGE, IT IS MAKE IT WORSE AND NOT MAKE IT BETTER.

AND SOME WON'T BE ABLE TO HAVE ANY DRIVEWAY AT ALL.

>> ON A 50-FOOT LOT, THE CURRENT CODE WILL ALLOW YOU TO PAVE 40.

UNDER THE PRO PROPOSED CODE ON A 50-FOOT LOT, YOU CAN PAVE 25 OF

THE 50. >> BUT IT SAYS PROPOSED CODE ON 50-FOOT LOT, YOU CAN PAVE 25 OF THE 50.

>> BUT I PROPOSED CODE ON A 50-FOOT LOT, YOU CAN PAVE 25 OF

THE 50. >> BUT I PROPOSED CODE ON A 50-FOOT LOT, YOU CAN PAVE 25 OF THE 50.

>> BUT IT SAYS -- SAYS 60% AGREE WITH THE MAY HAVE I DON'T REMEMBER. I WANT TO DO BOTH.

I WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM -- MORE THAN THE WEDGE, ALL THE PLACE THAT ARE NOT IN THE WEDGE, BUT WHEREVER WE LET DENSITY

CREEP UP. >> RIGHT, OUR THREE BASIC LOTS

OR SMALLER. >> CORRECT.

>> SO -- SO. I MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

I WOULD LIKE TO WITHDRAW THAT MOTION.

>> IT'S TOO LATE. [LAUGHTER] ANTHONY, CAN HE DO THAT? I KNOW.

>> BUT, AGAIN, WE SEEM TO BE -- >> YOU DON'T WANT TO APPROVE IT

NOW. >> NO, BECAUSE I AM HEARING WHAT YOU GUYS ARE SAYING AND I THINK WE NEED TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND COME UP WITH SOMETHING.

YOU HEARD OUR COMMENTS. YOU HEARD OUR CONCERNS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ANSWER IS. WE ARE NOT GOING TO I THINK

SOLVE IT. >> I FEEL LIKE WE ARE MAKING ANOTHER PROBLEM OR NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM.

WHATEVER WAY YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT.

WE HAVE -- IN MY OPINION, WE HAVE TO ALLOW -- NOT JUST THE WEDGE, BUT THOSE IN THE SMALLER LOT COMMUNITIES -- WE HAVE TO ALLOW THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXTEND THEIR DRIVEWAY, BECAUSE

YOU -- THERE IS NOWHERE TO WORK. >> RIGHT.

THE QUESTION IS, BY HOW MUCH? >> ENOUGH -- MY OPINION IS TWO CARS. SOMEONE ELSE'S OPINION MAY BE ONE CAR. BUT --

>> FOR EXAMPLE, ON A 50-FOOT-WIDE LOT WITH A TWO-CAR DRIVEWAY OF 18 FEET, TWO ADDITIONAL SPACES WOULD BE ANOTHER 18 TO 20 FEET. AND WE WOULD BE PAVING 38-FEET OF. 50-FOOT FRONTAGE TO ACCOMMODATE

FOUR VEHICLES. >> TWO CARS SIDE BY SIDE ISN'T

THAT 18 FEET TO 20 FEET. >> TWO CARS SIDE BY SIDE WILL BE

18 FEET. >> A LOT OF PLACES EXPECT GO

FRONT AND BACK. >> NUMBER ONE, THIS IS THE PROBLEM WHEN YOU GIVE HIGHER DENSITY.

>> LARGER HOMES ON SMALLER LOTS. THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

>> IF WE DON'T NEXT THIS PROBLEM RIGHT, WE WILL HAVE MORE CARS ON THE STREET WHICH LOOKS TERRIBLE AND NOT --

>> SAFE. >> NOT SAFE.

BLOCKS VIEWS, KIDS CAN DART OUT FROM BEHIND THE CAR.

A SAFETY AND AESTHETIC ISSUE. >> CAN WE DO THIS TO GET LITTLE MORE DIRECTION. I HAVE SAID I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE WEDGE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADD TWO MORE CARS.

YOU ARE SAYING IN A 50-FOOT LOT, 38 FEET -- IS THAT WHAT YOU JUST

[01:30:01]

SAID OR 28 FEET 28 TO 36 FEET. >> I KNOW THE HOUSE THEY BOUGHT.

I GOT THAT THEORY. I HAVE THAT.

BUT A LOT OF TIME WHEN YOU LOOK AT STUFF, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT I AM GOING TO NEED ANOTHER CAR FOR SURE.

OR I AM GOING TO NEED TWO CARS. MY DRIVE WAY -- I HAVE A CORNER LOT AND I WAS ABLE TO DO A CIRCULAR --

>> I REMOVED THE TREES -- NO, I WOULD NOT REMOVE ANY TREES.

I WOULD NEVER. >> THE SCENARIO OF THE 50-FOOT

LOT. >> MY LOT IS BIGGER.

>> TWO PARKING SPACES BUILT WELL HOME.

WE ADD TWO MORE SPACES SIDE BY SIDE AND FOUR ACROSS THE FRONT.

THE PAVEMENT WIDTH TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE VEHICLES TOWED INTO THE FACE OF THE HOUSE WILL GO 36 TO 38 FEET.

ALSO REMEMBER NOW, THE BACK EDGE OF THE SIDEWALK IS THE PROPERTY LINE. NOW YOU HAVE TO ACCOMMODATE THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE SIDEWALK AND ON THE LOT.

SO NOW WHEN THAT HOUSE IS SETBACK 20 FEET, THAT PAVED SPACE HAS TO BE 18 FEET DEEP TO ACCOMMODATE THAT VEHICLE ON THE LOTS SO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLES IS NOT HANGING OVER THE SIDEWALK AND EXPANDING 30 FEET IN THE WIDTH.

BUT NOW WE HAVE GOT TO GO 18 FEET IN THE DEPTH WHEN THE HUSBAND IS ONLY SET BACK 20 FEET FROM THE STREET.

>> I'M NOT SAYING I AM RIGHT. I AM SAYING WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO S SEE.

>> EITHER ARE WE. >> YOU EITHER HAVE TWO FEET OF THE YARD AT THE FRONT PART OF THE HOUSE AND DRIVEWAY AT THE

REST OF THAT FRONT OF THE HOUSE. >> WHY DON'T WE TAKE THIS BACK

AND STRATEGIZE AND COME BACK -- >> THAT IS WHAT I SAID.

>>MAYOR WALKER: BOB SAID THAT. MAKING THE MOTION TO.

>>COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN: TABLE. >>MAYOR WALKER: TABLE OR

DEFERRING THIS. >> THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION, MAYOR. I RECOMMEND THAT YOU DEFER IT TO

A TIME CERTAIN. >>COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN: I WOULD DETER IT TO SEPTEMBER -- WHATEVER OUR NEXT MEETING IS --

>> 12TH. >> SECOND.

>>MAYOR WALKER: DOES THAT GIVE YOU ENOUGH TIME?

>> YES, YES. I -- I GUESS -- WE'D LOT OF

DISCUSSION -- >>MAYOR WALKER: AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE -- I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING IN THERE PROTECTING OR MANDATING SOME SORT OF LANDSCAPE WHATEVER.

>> OKAY. >>COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN: FOR ME THE CONCERN IS IS THIS. I WANT PEOPLE TO PARK CARS.

IF THEY CHOOSES WITH A TWO-CAR GARAGE AND NOT PUT THEM IN THE GARAGE BUT PARK THEM IN THE DRIVEWAY.

WE DON'T WANT THE ENTIRE WIDTH OF YARD A DRIVEWAY.

THAT IS A CHOICE. >> I WOULDN'T DISAGREE AND LANDSCAPE SOMETHING AND MANDATE SOMETHING AND MAYBE IT WILL LOOK

NICE -- >> DISAGREE.

MAY WANT TO COMPROMISE OF SOLVING THE PROBLEM.

>> I THINK IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO DEFINE A LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENT FOR EVERY LOT SIZE THAT MAY --

>> WHEN THEY COME AROUND SUBMIT THE PER MET.

THE PER MET PROCESS. COMMIT IT TO THE CITY AND IT YOU

IT GET REVIEWED BY YOUR TEAM? >> YES, REVIEWED BY ZONING, ENGINEERING AND LANDSCAPING. YOU DEFER FOR BENEFIT PROPER LANDSCAPING AND TREE REMROFL ISS ISSUES HAS A PROCESS FOR TREE REMOVAL.

YOU CAN HAVE A NEW TREE OF BETTER QUALITY AND THE TREE FUND AND IF IT IS A HEALTHY TREE, THE TREE PERMIT CAN BE DENIED BECAUSE NO SUBSTANTIAL REASON FOR THE TREE TO BE REMOVED OF ONE THING IF YOU LOOK AT -- I KEEP GOING BACK TO THE 50-FOOT-LOT SCENARIO BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE WE SEE THE LARGEST PROBLEM. THE TWO-CAR GARAGE AT 18 FEET.

IF YOU ALLOW ONE ADDITIONAL SPACE OF NINE FEET IN WIDTH.

NOW WE ARE TALKING 27 FEET WHICH IS RIGHT AT THAT 50% THRESHOLD.

THAT IS WHAT WE ARE SEEING PROBABLY MORE OFTEN THAN NOT.

IF PEOPLE HAVE THE NEED TO ACCOMMODATE MORE THAN THOSE THREE VEHICLES, THEY HAVE THE TWO-CAR GARAGE.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS, IT WILL FORCE THEM TO MAYBE PUT ONE

VEHICLE IN A GARAGE. >> YOU ARE SAYING EVERYBODY THAT THAT'S A 50-FOOT LOT OR UNDER A 50-FOOT LOT.

>> THREE VEHICLES. >> ALLOW THEM A DRIVEWAY THAT WILL ACCOMMODATE THREE VEHICLES WISE.

[01:35:01]

>> THE OTHER CONCERN THAT THE ENGINEER RAISED.

>> THAT WOULD BE -- >> THE OTHER CONCERN I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IS ON OUR MIND IS THE PERMEABILITY ISSUE.

WE ALREADY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH DRAINAGE WITH THE WEDGE AS IT

IS. >> I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM ANYONE

IN A WHILE. >> JUST SAYING.

WITH THAT ALSO IN MIND, IF WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT ALLOWING THEM TO EXPAND THEIR DRIVEWAY, WE SHOULD ALSO BE THINKING OF HOW THEY ARE DOING IT IN TERMS OF WHETHER THEY ARE USING THOSE PAVERS THAT ALLOW FOR PERMEABILITY OR THAT ASPECT OF IT. AS OPPOSED TO ASPHALTING OR CEMENTING A DRIVEWAY IN PLACE WHICH IS GOING TO CREATE OTHER ISSUE WITH DRAINAGE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IS ALSO ALSO WHEN WE GO BACK TO TRY TO RECONFIGURE THIS.

>> RIGHT. WITH REGARDS TO THAT IN THE WEDGE COMMUNITIES, IN THE SMALLER LOTS, THE PLANNED COMMUNITIES, MOST OF THE DRIVEWAYS ARE PAVERS.

WHEN THEY ARE EXPANDING EXPAND WITH PAVERS.

ON THE LARGER LOT ON THE ACRES. YOU WILL SEE MORE ASPHALT OR CONCRETE BECAUSE THE DRIVEWAYS ARE 100 FEET BACK.

AND VERY COSTLY TO DO IN PAVERS. WE DO SEE IT QUITE OFTEN.

WE DON'T SEE CONCRETE OR ASPHALT DRIVEWAYS IN THE SMALLER LOTS.

>> AND PAVERS ARE PERSONALNABLE, RIGHT?

>> YES -- -- PERMEABLE. >> WELL, NOT REALLY.

>> THEY KIND OF CLOG OVERTIME. >> YOU MAY THINK IT IS WHAT ALEX

IS SAYING. >> AGAIN, THERE IN LIES THE ISSUE. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU GUYS GO BACK AND WORK ON THIS STUFF. KEEP IN MEENLD THE ENGINEERING PRINCE ELSE AND DRAINING ACCESS TO THIS.

WE WANT TO KEEP THAT IN THE FOREFRONT.

>> SOUNDS LIKE HE DOES. HE SAYS NOT AS PERMEABLE.

>> MULTIPLE ISSUES AT THE WEDGE AND WILL ONLY GET WORSE BECAUSE AN INCREASE OF WATER LEVELS WITH GLOBAL WARMING.

>> IS THERE A WAY TO ADDRESS THAT IF THEY ARE COMING FOR A PERMIT FOR DRIVEWAY. TO ADDRESS ISSUES.

>> WE WILL RUN THE CALCULATIONS ON PERVIOUS AND IMPERVIOUS AND POTENTIALLY YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE SOME STRENGTH IF YOU WANT

TO DO THAT. >> PERFECT.

SOLVES THAT PROBLEM. GOOD JOB.

ARE YOU GOOD? PROBABLY NOT.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE CONFUSED -- >> I MAY HAVE TO GO BACK AND

LISTEN TO THE TAPE. >> HAVE A GLASS OF WINE WHEN YOU ARE DOING WILL MAKE IT MUCH BETTER.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN TO DEFER IT TO SEPTEMBER 17 -- WHATEVER THE NEXT -- 12TH.

AND A SECOND BY COMMI COMMISSIONER ISROW.

>>COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN: YES. >>COMMISSIONER ISROW: YES -- AND I WOULD JUST ADD I KNOW WE PROBABLY HAVE BEEN STARING AT THIS TOO LONG. YOU HAVE THE FIRST SENTENCE

TWICE. >> I SAW THAT, THANK YOU.

>>COMMISSIONER BRIER: YES. >>VICE MAYOR CUTLER: YES.

>>MAYOR WALKER: YES. >> THANK YOU, NO PROBLEM.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE RANKING

[01:40:03]

AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >> MOTION.

>> SECOND. >>MAYOR WALKER: ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? HERE FROM THE COMMISSION.

>> THIS IS JUST TO APPROVE THE RANKINGS, CORRECT? ANTHONY? TO APPROVE THE SUBSTANCE OF THE

-- JUST TO APPROVE THE RANKINGS. >> YES.

>> WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE COMMISSION AWARE OF.

AND I WOULD DIRECT OUR CITY MANAGER TO SEND A LETTER TO THE CITY MANAGER AND THE CITY OF CORAL STRENGTHS.

THE WEST SIDE OF -- WHERE WEST GLAEDZ IS NOT -- IS IN -- THAT PART OF -- CALL IT MUNICIPALITY IS IN CORAL STRENGTHS.

WE ARE SERVICE IT WITH CROSSING GUARDS.

NOT STATUTORILY ARE REREQUIRED TO DO IT.

>> DIFFERENT THAN THE SROS. >> WHATEVER SCHOOL IS IN OUR MUNICIPALITY. THIS IS OUTSIDE OUR MUNICIPALITY. OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT JACKIE WENT BACK TO CORAL SPRINGS. NO STOP SIGN.

NO LIGHT. WHETHER IT NEEDS TO BE MANNED AT 360 CARS PER HOUR WHICH I IMAGINE THAT ROADWAY GETS THAT.

I BELIEVE IT IS THEIR JURISDICTION.

YOU CAN SEND A LETTER TO THEM, TO THE SCHOOL BOARD, AND ASKING THEM TO PROVIDE CROSSING GUARDS OR REIMBURSE US FOR THE COST.

BUT I CAN'T. YOU KNOW, LOOK, WE ONE CERTAIN THINGS. I KNOW HILLSBOROUGH AND PARKSIDE BASED ON THE STATUTE, NO REQUIREMENT FOR US TO PROVIDE A CROSSING GUARD, BUT WE DO FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR RESIDENTS.

I CAN'T AGREE TO -- AND THIS WILL GO BACK --

>> THIS IS STILL FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR RESIDENTS.

>> NO. BECAUSE ALL CORAL SPRING

RESIDENTS GO IN THERE. >> NO PARKLAND? NO PARKLAND RESIDENTS GOING OVER THERE?

>> NOT ON THAT WEST SIDE. WHERE WOULD THEY COME FROM?

>> THEY DON'T GET DROPPED OFF AT WALMART AND WALK TO SCHOOL.

>> IF THEY ARE ON THAT SIDE -- IF THEY ARE ON THE WALMART SIDE,

NO NEED FOR A CROSSING GUARD. >> I AM OKAY GOING WITH THEM TO SEE IF THEY WANT TO CONTRIBUTE. I DON'T WANT LACK OF SERVICE.

I DON'T WANT -- AT THE RISK OF -- AT THERE BEING A LAPSE OF

SERVICE. >> THAT IS MY POINT.

THIS IS THEIR MUNICIPALITY. IT IS NOT OURS.

IF WE ARE GOING -- WE DON'T GO INTO CORAL STRENGTHS AND FUND THEIR POLICE SERVICE, PARKS AN OTHER STUFF.

SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE AN OBLIGATION.

WE CAN INVOLVE THE SCHOOL BOARD, WHETHER OR NOT IT IS A -- A -- A HAZARDOUS CROSSWALK. IF IT COMES BACK AND THE SCHOOL BOARD SAYS IT IS NOT A HAZARDOUS CROSSWALK OR THE STATE DOES, A DIFFERENT STORY TO PROTECT RESIDENTS.

OR PROTECT -- NOT EVEN RESIDENTS BUT PROTECTING CHILDREN.

IF THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO STEP UP FOR -- WHAT IS THE AMOUNT, $13,000 TO PROTECT CHILDREN, I AM SORRY.

>> WHAT WAS THEIR RATIONALE. DO WE KNOW WHAT THEIR RATIONALE,

IF ANY, OF SAYING NO? >> CAN YOU REPEAT THE QUESTION?

>> JACKIE, WHAT WAS THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS OF NOT CORRECTING.

>> THAT THE SCHOOL IS NOT IN THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS.

>> THE CROSSWALK IS, BUT THE SCHOOL ISN'T.

>> THAT'S CORRECT. YOU HAVE STUDENTS FROM THE CORAL SPRINGS OF HERON BAY CROSSING OVER TO GO TO WEST GLADES.

>> JUST SO I AM CLEAR, THE BOUNDARIES FOR THOSE SCHOOLS PUSH INTO CORAL STRENGTHS BUT YOU ARE TELLING ME EVEN THOUGH THOSE CORAL SPRING RESIDENTS ARE BOUNDED TO COME TO THIS SCHOOL, THAT CITY IS NOT WILLING TO PAY FOR THOSE KIDS COMING HERE?

>> THAT'S CORRECT. >> SO WHEN WE DO THE BOUNDARY ISSUES AND CUT THE BOUNDARY OFF SO THEIR KIDS ARE NOW GOING TO THEIR SCHOOLS, THEY WILL NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT.

IS THAT WHAT I AM UNDERSTANDING? >> HEAR, HEAR.

>> JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. >> I CAN TELL YOU THAT THEY WILL HAVE AN ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME.

>> I HEARD IT. >> TO ANSWER THE QUESTION I WAS ASKED BEFORE. I WANT TO POINT OUT YOU ARE AUGHT REESING ALSO WITH THIS RESOLUTION AS WRITTEN THE PURCHASING DIRECT TO NEGOTIATE A CONTRACT IN THE TOP.

[01:45:07]

NO JUST APPROVING THE RANKINGS. >> THIS APPROVES THE RANKINGS OF CROSSING GUARD SERVICES. I AM OKAY WITH THAT.

I JUST -- I JUST DON'T FEEL THAT WE SHOULD BE PAYING BECAUSE, AGAIN, IF YOU LOOK AT STATE STATUTE.

IF THERE WAS AN ATTORNEY GENERAL OPINION THAT SAID AFFIRMATIVE DUTY AMONG THE GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY WITHIN WHOSE JURISDICTION THE HAZARD IS LOCATED. SO IF THAT IS A HAZARD.

>> I AGREE WITH YOU 100%. BUT TO SIMEON'S POINT, YOU KNOW, IF CORAL SPRINGS SAYS, WHATEVER, I DON'T CARE, I AM NOT PAYING -- ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT WE REMOVE THE CROSSING GUARD FROM

THAT -- >> WHAT AUTO IMSUGGESTING IS THAT IF IT IS A HAS RUSS CROSSWALK WHICH IS BASED ON THE STATUTE 360 CARS. THERE IS NO SIGNAGE OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT IT IS PART OF THE STATE'S HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS.

THE MUNICIPALITY WHOSE JURISDICTION IT IS IN IS REQUIRED TO MITIGATE THAT. EITHER THEY PROVIDE A STOP SIGN, A LIGHT, WHATEVER IT IS TO MITIGATE THAT HAZARDOUS

CROSSWALK. >> BUT STILL GETS TO THE.ARE YOU WILLING TO REMOVE THE CROSSING GUARDS?

>> I HAVE -- >> -- IN LIEU OF A STOP SIGN.

>> I HAVE CONFIDENCE -- MAYBE MISPLACED CONFIDENCE, BUT THE PEOPLE I KNOW IN CORAL SPRINGS, IF WE ELEVATE THIS AND HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH THEIR CITY MANAGER OR WHOEVER ELSE IS IN CONTROL OF THESE DECISIONS WE CAN PREVAIL UPON THEM AND THEY WILL DO THE RIGHT THING. WHY DON'T WE -- I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MEANS WE SHOULD TABLE THIS --

>> WE WOULDN'T TABLE THIS BECAUSE -- THEY -- WE WON'T BE

ABLE TO STOP THIS YEAR ANYWAY. >> IF THAT WE SHOULD HAVE OUR CITY MANAGER REACH OUT TO THE CITY MANAGER OF CORAL STRENGTHS AND HAVE A HIGHER LEVEL CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS.

I HAVE CONFIDENCE HE WAS A SAFETY FIRST GUY AND A GOOD PERSON. I HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT THERE COULD BE SOME SORT OF RESOLUTION TO THIS WITHOUT DETRACTING FROM

PROVIDING THE SERVICES. >> AND THANK YOU FOR WATCHING,

FRANK. >> I MEAN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT $13,000. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR BUDGET

IS -- >> LOOK, LET NANCY HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THEM JUST LIKE YOU ASKED, AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

>> INCLUDE THE SCHOOL BOARD, BECAUSE, AGAIN, MY CONCERN IS THEY MAY LOOK AT IT -- LIKE I SAID YEARS IN THE PAST AND SAY NOT A HAZARDOUS WALKING CONDITION.

>> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND.

>> MOTION TO APPROVE WITH THAT DIRECTIVE.

>> WITH THAT DIRECTIVE. >> ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC?

SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. >> WITH THAT DIRECTIVE.

WE ARE LOOKING TO ADD A NEW THREE BAY SWING SET THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY SURVEYS AND WHAT OUR RESIDENTS HAVE REACHED OUT TO.

THE CONCESSION STAND LIES BACK HERE AND THE BACK PLAYGROUND THAT IS MORE CURRENT. THERE IS A PLACE AND SWING IN THE BACK THAT IS BEYOND WARRANTY RIGHT NOW AND HAS A LOT OF MAINTENANCE CONCERNS AND A LOT OF REPLACEMENTS AND LOOKING TO

REPLACE THAT ONE PIECE AS WELL. >> IS THE BASE THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE THING TO BE REPLACED TO BE ALL ONE MATERIAL?

>> RIGHT. SO EVERYWHERE YOU SEE THE BLUE AND GREEN IN THIS IMAGE WILL BE YOUR POURED-IN-PLACE SURFACING

GROUP AND SOMETHING IN BETWEEN. >> I HAVE A QUESTION AND COMMENT. FOR THE COMMENT, CAN WE MAYBE CONTINUE TURNING THE SWINGS FACING THE OTHER WAY.

I IMAGINE IF THE PARENT IS PUSHING ON THE SWING AND HAVING
