(Case Number RZ23-002).]
AND WE HAVE ONE AGENDA ITEM SO LIKE LAST MEETING I'M NOT GOING TO ASK IF WE ARE GOING TO BE REARRANGING OUR AGENDA BUT OPEN OUR PUBLIC HEARING AND READ ITEM A INTO THE RECORD AND BEGIN OUR MEETING. ORDINANCE 2023-00 SENG.7, REZONING GATOR ACRES FROM SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO OPEN SPACE/ RECREATION CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND, FLORIDA, REZONING APPROXIMATELY 3.96 ACRES GENERALLY LOCATED ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF LOXAHATCHEE ROAD APPROXIMATELY 1.9 MILES WEST OF NOB HILL ROAD, AS BEING MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT "A", FROM RS-3 (SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL - 3 DU/ACRE) TO OS (RECREATION / OPEN SPACE) PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, CONFLICTS AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (CASE NUMBER KNOWN AS RZ 23-002.
GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.IF YOU EVERYONE.IF YOU REMEMBER APPROXA YEAR AGO WE CAME IN AND PURSUANT TO BAY ANNEXATION FOR THIS PROPERTY WE WERE REQUIRED TO REZONE THIS PROPERTY AND NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE AUTHORITY AND EAST TO THE RS 3 ZONING DISTRICT. WE WENT AHEAD AND DID THAT BECAUSE IT WAS REQUIRED BY THE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT.
AND IF YOU RECALL PART OF THE APPROVAL OF THE PARKLAND ROYALE
[00:05:05]
2 COMMUNITY, 205 HOMES THEY WERE REQUIRED TO DEDICATE A PARK LAND SITE. THAT IS 4.77 ACRES AND 3.96 ACRES NET INTERNAL TO THE PROPERTY.SO THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE IT FROM THE, REMEMBER LAST TIME WE WENT FROM COUNTY RESIDENTIAL TO PARKLAND RESIDENTIAL.
NOW WE GOT TO GO FROM PARKLAND RESIDENTIAL TO PARKLAND OPEN SPACE. JUST A REMINDER OF THIS SITE.
IT'S THE VERY NORTHWEST LIMITS OF THIS CITY.
AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, APPROVED FOR ANNEXATION IN SEPTEMBER OF 22, DEDICATED TO THE CITY AS PART OF THE PARKLAND ROYALE DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL. AND THE PLAN IS TO DEVELOP THIS AS A PASSIVE PARK, THE ACCESS WILL COME FROM THE EAST SIDE OF THE SITE, ON KIND OF A LOCAL ROAD THAT ENTERS THE COMMUNITY.
THEN THERE WILL BE A GATE JUST PAST THE PARK SITE WHERE IT WILL EXIT-ONLY OR T FOR THE COMMUNIT. THETRON TAJ THE FRONTAGE IS TOOT THAT POINT. THE PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE PARK HAVEN'T BEEN DECIDED AT THIS TIME.
SO KIND OF, THIS IS JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU IN REFERENCE HOW THE PARK SITE SITS IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT.
AGAIN, YOU KNOW, THE ACCESS WILL BE TO THE EAST, JUST ABOUT WHERE THAT EAST-WEST LOCAL ROAD INTERNAL TO THE COMMUNITY CONNECTS. THE IMPACTS FOR THIS PROPERTY: UNDER THE CURRENT RESIDENTIAL ZONING, 14 DWELLING UNITS ARE PERMITTED. ALL OF THAT IMPACT WAS EVALUATED WITH THE OVERALL COMMUNITY TO THE SOUTH AND EAST.
SO THE PARK HAS BASICALLY NO IMPACTS OTHER THAN PROVIDING ANOTHER OPEN SPACE AMENITY FOR THE RESIDENTS.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I'D BE HAPPY TO RESPOND.
>> NO. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR GAIL OR ANY OF THE STAFF OR ANY DISCUSSION?
JOEL GO AHEAD. >> SITE PLAN WILL COME IN FRONT
OF THIS BOARD, CORRECT? >> THE SITE PLAN HAS ALREADY
BEEN REMOVED. >> FOR THE PARK.
WHETHER THE PARK BEGINS DESIGN. >> YES ABSOLUTELY.
THERE WILL BE A SITE PLAN AND CAB FOR ANY STRUCTURES THAT MAY
BE ON THE SITE. >> HAS THERE BEEN ANY ADDITIONAL COORDINATION WITH THE DEVELOPER OUT THERE? WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THE MONEY THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO GIVE US FOR THAT. HAS THAT ALL BEEN DONE? AND HOW DOES THE SITE LOOK? IT ALL IN GOOD CONDITION? HAS THERE BEEN ANY ADDITIONAL MASTER PLANNING DONE ON THE
SITE? >> ACTUALLY BEFORE YOU BEGIN JUST IF I CAN INTERRUPT. I WANTED FOR THE RECORD, ALEX JOINED THE MEETING AS WELL AS ASHLEY, AT THE BEGINNING OF THE APPLICANT'S THE CITY'S PRESENTATION.
>> THANK YOU. ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER FOR THE RECORD. WE ARE COORDINATING WITH THE NEW DEVELOPER FOR THE PROPERTY. JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS, LENAR IS CURRENTLY, HAS CURRENTLY ACQUIRED THE PROPERTY, TO THE EAST. WE HAVE A RUNNING TRAIL GOING REGARDING MONEY THAT HAVE BEEN PAID AND NOT PAID TO THE CITY REGARDING THESE PARCELS. SO THAT'S STILL BEING WORKED THROUGH. AS IT RELATES TO THE ACTUAL GRADING OF THE SITE, THAT ACTUALLY WAS DONE BY MR. TUTTLE.
WE ARE GOING TO GET SOME ADDITIONAL FILL AND GRADING DONE AS PART OF THE LOXAHATCHEE ROAD AS PART OF THE PROJECT.
THE CONTRACTOR HAS STORED HIS EQUIPMENT AND MATERIAL ON OUR PARK SITE AND AS A CONDITION WE HAVE ASKED SOME ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS ON THE SITE FOR THE CITY.
>> JUST TO ASK A QUESTION, PERHAPS TO CLARIFY SOMETHING THAT YOU MENTIONED, LENAR IS UNDER CONTRACT BUT HAS NOT CLOSED YET ON THE PROPERTY, IS THAT CORRECT?
>> YOU MAY BE CORRECT. I'M NOT TOO PRIVY TO THE FULL DEALINGS BUT AS FAR AS WE KNOW THEY'VE REACHED OUT TO THE CITY TO START ENGAGING US ABOUT THE PROCESSES FOR PLANNING AND OTHER ITEMS THAT THEY NEED TO DO. SO BASED ON OUR PHONE CALL WE'RE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY ARE CLOSE TO ACTUALLY ACQUIRING
THE PROPERTY. >> AND ALEX AT THE CLOSING THAT MONEY THAT YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT THEN WILL DEFINITELY GO TO THE CITY AS YOU KNOW, PART OF THE CLOSING PROCESS.
[00:10:02]
>> REGARDLESS WHO COMES IN TO DEVELOP THIS PARCEL TO GET THEIR APPROVAL FOR THEM TO MOVE FORWARD THEY WILL HAVE TO PAY
ALL MONEYS DUE TO THE CITY. >> (INAUDIBLE) IS OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE GENTLEMAN WHO USUALLY SITS IN THIS POSITION, MR. KLITSBERG HE HAS EXPRESSED MAJOR CONCERNS FOR LENAR AND HOW THEY TREAT THE CITY AND NOW COSKATA.
IS THERE LIMIT TO BUILDING PERMITS THAT CAN BE DONE WITH THESE KNOWN COMPLAINTS FROM THE CITY, CITY RESIDENTS, EXCUSE ME?
>> I'M GOING TO DEFER TO THE CITY ATTORNEY ON THIS BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW DEVELOPERS HAVE RIGHTS, SO I'M GOING TO DEFER.
THIS BOARD WORKED HARD IN THE APPROVALS TO GET CERTAIN CONDITIONS IN THE APPROVALS MOVING FORWARD.
IRRESPECTIVE OF THE DEVELOPER, I'LL DEFER TO THE CITY ATTORNEY
ON THIS ONE. >> KAPLAN CAN YOU KINDLY REPEAT
YOUR QUESTION? >> IT'S BEEN VOICED MULTIPLE TIMES BY MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD SPECIFICALLY THE GENTLEMAN THAT SITS HERE NATHANIEL, THAT LENAR HAS BEEN NONRESPONSIVE IN SO FAR AS THE HOA, THE ISSUES THAT THEY WERE FACING BECAUSE THE HOA WAS NOT FINALIZED BECAUSE THEY WERE STILL BUILDING HOMES.
IN TOWN PARK AND CASCADA AND MAR A LAGO AT VARIOUS POINTS.
THERE'S BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS, FROM RESIDENTS OF THOSE DEVELOPMENTS, AND, YOU KNOW, ISSUES WITH THE CONSTRUCTION, ISSUES WITH DRAINAGE, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.
CERTAIN DRAINAGE CAME FROM THIS BOARD I THINK WE HAD TO GRANT VARIANCES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. KNOWING WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THIS, AND, YOU KNOW, DOES THIS BOARD HAVE ANY LEVERAGE ON LENAR AND CAN WE, IF NOT CAN WE COME UP WITH SOME?
>> I'LL PLAN FOR THE MATTER BEFORE THE BOARD TONIGHT IT'S JUST A REZONING. I UNDERSTAND, I JUST WANT TO PRF AS THAT THE ONLY THING BEFORE THE BOARD IS ISSUES TO THE DEVELOPER IF IT'S NOT CONNECTED TO THIS ITEM I WOULD REALLY NOT LIKE TO OPINE. I WILL GET WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY TO RAISE THE ISSUE AND SEE AT A NEXT MEETING SOME OTHER EXPLANATION COORDINATING WITH THE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER YOUR CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS CAN BE BROUGHT UP.
I'M GOING TO TEMPER THE OPINION ON THAT BECAUSE IT IS NOT A MATTER BEFORE THE BOARD AT THIS TIME.
I UNDERSTAND IT MAY BE AN ISSUE FOR OTHER DEVELOPMENTS AND THERE MAY BE OTHER DEVELOPMENT ISSUES BUT IT'S NOT PENDING ON THIS ITEM. AND WHEN YOU HAVE A DEVELOPER ON THOSE ITEMS, AND THE DEVELOPMENTS APPROVED CONNECTED WITH IT AS THE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER SAID, WHEN APPROVAL ARE DONE, THERE ARE CONDITIONS THAT GO WITH THOSE.
IT IS MORE THE CITY THAT WOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE ENFORCEMENT OF WHATEVER IS GOING FORWARD.
BUT I WILL ADVISE THE CITY ATTORNEY THAT YOU HAD RAISED SOME CONCERNS. AND THAT CAN BE BROUGHT BACK TO
JOEL YOU MADE MENTION ABOUT THIS BOARD GRANTING SOME VARIANCES.
JUST TO CORRECT YOUR COMMENT. WE DENIED THOSE VARIANCES.
THIS BOARD UNANIMOUSLY THEY WERE DENIED.
YOU SAID WE APPROVED VARIANCES THAT CAME BEFORE THIS BOARD.
I KNOW YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT THE CASE, YOU MISSPOKE, BUT THEY WERE DENIED AND OUR COMMISSION CONSIDERED OTHER THINGS TO DO.
>> THANK YOU. >> ONE MORE THING.
>> GO AHEAD ALEX. >> FOR THE CITY, PARKLAND OBVIOUSLY PARK IS IN OUR NAME. BUT JUST A LESSON LEARNED FROM COVERED BRIDGE NOT EVERYONE HAS THE SAME PASSION FOR PARKS.
AND IN ALL SERIOUS, THERE IS NO PUBLIC OUTREACH BECAUSE THIS IS A NEW COMMUNITY BEING BUILT HERE.
SO I WOULD JUST CAUTION US AS WE DEVELOP SOMETHING HERE, THERE IS A LOT OF CONCERN FOR LOXAHATCHEE ROAD, PUTTING A PARK NEXT TO A FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, AS WE'RE DOING PUBLIC OUTREACH IT IS GOING TO BE UNIQUE. THERE ARE GOING TO BE HOMES BUILT IN THERE BUT PUBLIC OUTREACH, I WANT YOU TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION, WHATEVER GOES THERE, IT'S GOING TO SERVE ALL OF US, COORDINATING WITH LOXAHATCHEE AS WELL.
>> FAIR POINT. SO BASED ON THOSE LESSONS
[00:15:03]
LEARNED AS YOU CAN TELL WITH ALL OUR FUTURE PROJECTS WE HAVE CHANGED OUR APPROACH WITH PUBLIC OUTREACH.YOU'LL SEE IT COME DIRECTLY WITH WEDGE PARK.
WE HAVEN'T EVEN GONE TO REACHING STRATEGIC PLANNING.
>> IT'S LABELED A PASSIVE PARK. WE'LL WORK ON THE DEFINITION OF PASSIVE AT ANOTHER TIME. IN ANOTHER MEETING.
OR MANY MEETINGS. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS?
>> PASSIVE COUNTRY ELEGANT? >> I HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION.
JUST CLARIFICATION FOR MYSELF AND MAYBE OTHERS.
ON THE PAGE 5 OF 17, THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION, THE RECERTIFICATION, I'M SURE IT'S PART OF THE PROCEDURE, CONDITION OF APPROVAL, RECERTIFICATION OF THE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT DESIGNATED THE PROPERTY RESIDENTIAL THREE DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE BY THE CITY OF PLAD. IT IS PART OF THE REQUIRED
PROCESS? >> RIGHT, AFTER A LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT IS APPROVED AT THE LOCAL LEF WE APPROVE THE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT ON FIRST READING.
THEN THEY HAVE TO SEEK COUNTY APPROVAL.
AND ONCE THE COUNTY APPROVES IT, IT CIRCLES BACK TO THE PLANNING CMMISSION FOR AGREEMENT. THEN WE HAVE TO DISAGREE ON MODIFYING THE MAP THAT IS PART OF THE LAND USE DOCUMENT.
SO THAT RECERTIFICATION IS THAT MAP UPDATE PROCESS.
THAT'S THE FINAL ACCEPT IN FINALIZING ALL OF THE REZONINGS.
OR I'M SORRY, LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENTS.
>> I ALWAYS SAY WE LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY.
THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS COMMENTS MOTIONS?
>> I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 2023-007
REZONING GOORT ACRES FROM SINGLE >> MADE THE MOTION SECONDED BY ASHLEY. CALL FOR THE VOTE MEES PLP.
>> ALEX LEAKS, YES, JOEL KAPLAN YES, ASHLEY GOBEO, YES, VICE CHAIR AVELLO YES, AND CHAIRMAN MURRAY ZWEIG.
>> CONGRATULATIONS, PARKLAND. DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY?
[9. Comments from the Planning & Zoning Manager]
>> I WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING ON BEHALF OF JEANNIE.
>> GAIL ANY COMMENTS PLEASE >> WE'RE STILL KIND OF, IT'S POSSIBLE WE MAY NOT HAVE A NOVEMBER MEETING.
I WILL KEEP YOU GUYS POSTED. THE APPLICATIONS FOR THE SELF STORAGE FACILITY SOME OF THOSE ARE IN.
IT'S POSSIBLE THEY MAY MOVE THEM ALL TOGETHER AS A GROUP SO YOU'LL SEE SEVERAL APPLICATIONS ON ONE NIGHT.
IT IS POSSIBLE THEY COULD MOVE THE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT FIRST AND EVERYTHING ELSE BEHIND IT.
DEPENDING ON THAT DECISION WE MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE A NOVEMBER MEETING BUT I'LL KEEP YOU GUYS POSTED IN PLENTY OF TIME.
>> REAL QUICK. I'VE BEEN WITH THE CITY FOR BETTER PART OF TEN PLUS YEARS. MY FIRST IN HERE MR. CHAIR YOU'VE BEEN A PART OF THE BOARD THE WHOLE WAY.
THE PERSON I CAME IN AND WORKED WITH FIRST WAS JEAN, SHE WAS MY ASSISTANT, ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATIVE, SHE WAS PART TIME WHEN I GOT HERE, I MADE HER FULT TIME WHEN I GOT HERE.
CONVENIENTLY SHE TRANSITIONED INTO PLANNING AND ZONING AND SERVED THIS BOARD FOR A GOOD PERIOD OF TIME AND SERVED THE BOARD WELL. SHE IS TRANSITIONING THROUGH THE NEXT PHASE IN HER LIFE WITH HER GRAND KIDS.
I WANT TO TAKE THE TIME TO SAY SHE IS LOVED AND SHE WILL BE MISSED, I SEE GIFTS COMING IN, I PRESUME IT IS FOR HER.
JEAN YOU ARE LOVED AND WE THANK YOU FOR THIS.
THANK YOU GUYS. >> THANK YOU AGAIN.
IS THERE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? >> MOTION TO ADJOURN.
MEETING ADJOURNED. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.
