ON THE 22ND, I HAD AN HONOR OF ATTENDING THE PARKLAND CARES , WHICH HAS BEEN AWARDED $100,000 TO LOCAL NONPROFITS THAT PROVIDE COUNSELING AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR SOUTH FLORIDA'S COMMUNITY MEMBERS AFFECTED BY TRAUMA AND WHO ARE CONTINUING TO FIGHT TO HELP BREAK THE STIGMA SURROUNDING MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.

SPECIAL THANK YOU TO STACY, CHRISTINE FREEZE, AND ALL OF THOSE THAT PARKLAND CARES FOR THEIR CONTINUED GREAT WORK .

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24TH, AT THE NORTH REGIONAL BROWARD COLLEGE LIBRARY, THEY HELD ITS TELL YOUR STORY, A PROGRAM WITH LOCAL AUTHORS FROM AROUND OUR COMMUNITY AND THEY WERE ABLE TO LECTURE ABOUT HOW THEY WROTE THEIR BOOKS. I WANT TO THANK SEVERAL OF OUR PARKLAND RESIDENTS, INCLUDING DR. SHERRY KIMBALL, DOUG CRUZ AND HIS FAMILY, ANDDIANE, THE MEDIA SPECIALIST FOR ALLOWING ME TO SHARE PARKLAND HISTORY.

[00:05:02]

>> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. COMMISSIONER BRIER?

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR, I WANT TO ECHO OUR CONDOLENCES TO THE BISHOP FAMILY DANNY WAS A CLASSMATE OF MY DAUGHTER'S AT DOUGLAS, AND WE WERE TERRIBLY SAD TO HEAR ABOUT HIS PASSING.

OUR PRAYERS AND LOVE GO TO HIS FAMILY IN THE ENTIRE DOUGLAS COMMUNITY . LAST WEEKEND, WE HAD A GREAT TIME AT PARKLAND LITTLE LEAGUE'S OPENING DAY, AS WELL AS THE SOCCER PICNIC, TRIPPY PRESENTATION. IT'S AMAZING TO SEE HOW FAR OUR RECTAL LEAGUES HAVE BECOME, HOW MUH THEY HAVE GROWN, BUT IT REALLY ENHANCES THE LIFE OF FAMILIES RAISING THEIR CHILDREN HERE IN PARKLAND, SO I THANK ALL THE VOLUNTEERS AND COACHES FOR ALL THEIR HARD WORK, AND MAYOR INCLUDED, SERVING ON THE BOARD FOR PARKLAND SOCCER. I WANT TO GIVE A HUGE SHADOW, ECHOING COMMENTS TO DOUGIE AND SHIRLEY AND THEIR AMAZING DAUGHTERS, LIZZIE AND CAROLINE PETER SCHULMAN FAMILY HAVE BEEN VOLUNTEERS, THE SPONSORS, THE CITY FOR COORDINATING AND HOSTING A GREAT RUN FOR BEAGLE. I WALK FOR BEAGLE, BUT THEY DATED FOR RUN FOR BEAGLE. IT WAS A GREAT EVENT THAT KEEPS GETTING BETTER EVERY YEAR AND HONORS THE MEMORY OF SCOTT BEIGEL, AND I KNOW HIS FAMILY AND THE COMMUNITY APPRECIATE THAT. I WANT TO -- WE HAVE THE PLEASURE, A FEW OF US, OF ATTENDING ANOTHER GREAT PARKLAND CHAMBER EVENT THIS MORNING. THE SPEAKER WAS AMAZING. HOW MANY BUSINESSES ARE EITHER HAVING THEIR GENESIS OR PARKLAND RESIDENTS ARE COMING TO PARKLAND , SO IT'S NICE TO SEE THOSE EVENTS CONTINUE TO GROW AND BE WELL ATTENDED , AND TAKE BACK TO THE CHAMBER FOR DOING THAT. THE PARKLAND FARMERS MARKET SUNDAY WAS GREAT, WITH THE CLASSIC HORSE SHOW, A REALLY GREAT EVENT. ONE NOTE I WANT TO MAKE FOR OUR PARKS AND REC STAFF IS WHILE I WAS TALKING TO SOME OF THE FOLKS OUT THERE WITH CARS AND SOME OF THE ENTHUSIASTS, THEY MENTIONED EVERY YEAR, IT SEEMS TO CROSS WITH SOME OTHER CAR SHOWS GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME, AND THEY JUST THAT WE MIGHT GET MORE CARS AND ENTHUSIASTS IF WE TRY TO DO THAT. I WANT TO CONGRATULATE CHIEF MICHAEL MCNALLY ON HIS NEW ROLE AND PROMOTION IN THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS. HE HAS PROBABLY SERVED THE CORAL SPRINGS AND PARKLAND FIRE DEPARTMENT. HE WAS ALWAYS A BETTER LITTLE LEAGUE PLAYER THAN ME WHEN WE WERE KIDS, AND THE FACT THAT HE'S GONE ON TO GREAT THINGS AS AN ADULT DOESN'T SURPRISE ANYONE, BUT CONGRATULATIONS TO HIM AND HIS

[00:10:02]

WE HAVE THE CRAFT FAIR COMING UP AT THE FARMERS MARKET SUNDAY, BUT BEFORE THAT, I'M ESPECIALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS SATURDAY WITH PARKLAND TODAY. I JUST WANT TO THANK THE STAFF AND NANCY AND PARKS AND REC AND ALL THE VOLUNTEERS IN ADVANCED AND THE SPONSORS IN ADVANCED FOR WHAT I KNOW WILL BE A GREAT DAY, BUT VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT WITH THE PARADE AT 10:00 A.M. IF YOU WANT TO COME OUT, AND THE RESIDENTS ACTIVITIES START AT 4:00 P.M. AND CONTINUE ON INTO THE EVENING. WITH THAT, MAYOR, THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS.

>> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. VICE MAYOR?

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR PETE I WILL NOT BELABOR TOO MUCH. I THINK EVERYONE HAS TOUCHED ON WHAT I ÚWAS GOING TO SAY. WE KIND OF ALWAYS HAVE, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF POSITIVE THINGS WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT, BUT THERE IS ALWAYS SOME THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN THE COURSE OF LIFE, AND THE BISHOP FAMILY , SINCERE CONDOLENCES.

IT IS A TERRIBLE OCCURRENCE. IT'S ONE OF THOSE FREAK ACCIDENTS . I'M SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THAT. WE TALK ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON THIS SATURDAY. PARKLAND DAY I THINK IS SUCH A REFLECTION NOW OF , FORTUNATELY, IT'S BEEN SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN BROUGHT BACK IN COULD HAVE ONLY EXPERIENCED ONE YEAR, WHICH COULD'VE BEEN OUR 60TH ANNIVERSARY. LAST YEAR WAS SUCH AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY TO SEE WHAT PARKLAND IS ALL ABOUT IN TERMS OF EVERYONE COMING TOGETHER AND REALLY ENJOYING AND CELEBRATING OUR CITY, SO I HOPE EVERYONE AGAIN THIS YEAR MAKES THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME OUT SATURDAY. GREAT PARADE. SUGAR RAY MAY NOT BE HERE THIS YEAR , BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE CAN'T ALSO HAVE A GOOD TIME, SO I HOPE EVERYONE COMES OUT. RUN FOR BEAGLE. CAN'T SAY IT ENOUGH HERE DOUG EATON AND HIS TEAM AND HIS FAMILY, ON BEHALF OF LINDA AND MICHAEL AND THE WHOLE BEAGLE FOUNDATION, IS ONE OF THOSE EVENTS THAT TRULY COME FROM THE HEART , AND IT SERVES A GREAT PURPOSE OF HELPING KIDS WHO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY GUN VIOLENCE GOING TO SUMMER CAMP IT IT'S ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHERE EVERYONE GOES AROUND WITH A SMILE ON THEIR FACE, AND YOU CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT AP LITTLE LEAGUE OPENING DAY, WE APPRECIATE YOU, MAYOR, FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE FIRST PITCH, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS AGAINST MY OWN WISHES. I'M GLAD I DIDN'T EMBARRASS MYSELF. MAYBE A LITTLE. PARKLAND CARES, KUDOS TO BOTH HOWARD DVORKIN AND STACY EUGENE AND THEIR WHOLE BOARD. THEY DID AN AMAZING JOB OF PUTTING TOGETHER NOT ONLY SUPPORT AND FUNDING FOR A LOT OF DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS THAT NEED IT, BUT ALSO FOR PUTTING OUT THERE IN THE PUBLIC MENTAL HEALTH AND AWARENESS IN THE KNEE NOT ONLY FOR OUR COMMUNITY BUT BEYOND IN SOMETHING THAT IS IMPORTANT IN THE WAKE OF THE MSD TRAGEDY , SO REALLY APPRECIATE THEM FOR THE WORK THEY HAVE DONE, AND I KNOW THEY WILL GO ON TO CONTINUE TO DO MANY THINGS, BUT THEY REALLY SHOULD BE CELEBRATED FOR THAT . CHIEF MCNALLY, I'LL GIVE HIM A LOT OF KUDOS AS WELL. I KNOW HE'S GOING TO MOVE ON TO BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING NOT ONLY WHAT HE DOES BUT WHO FILLS THAT ROLE, AND OTHER THAN THAT, I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE OUT SATURDAY. HOPEFULLY, EVERYONE HERE WILL BE THERE, AND THAT'S ALL I GOT HERE

>> THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR. IT SOUNDS LIKE EVERYONE HAS PRETTY MUCH TALKED ABOUT EVERYTHING, WHICH IS TYPICAL , WHICH IS GREAT. WE DO SO MUCH . THE CITY OF PARKLAND, IS RESIDENTS, IT DOES SO MUCH FOR OTHERS. THE PAST FEW WEEKS, WE TALKED ABOUT THE BEAGLE RUN. THANKS, DOUG AND HIS CREW THERE . THEN YOU HAVE PARKLAND CARES WITH STACY AND CHRISTINE AND HOWARD. I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT PICKLEBALL, SO THANKFULLY, COMMISSIONER CUTLER LEFT THAT FOR ME TO TALK ABOUT.

I PLAYED PICKLEBALL FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH PARKLAND BUDDY SPORTS. I HAD A BLAST. I DON'T THINK I NEEDED TO PLAY SIX GAMES BECAUSE MY BACK IS STILL FEELING A LITTLE SORE BENDING OVER , YOU KNOW, FOR PICKLEBALL, BUT I REALLY HAD A GREAT TIME. KEN AND I WERE PARTNERS. WE ENDED UP IN FOURTH. I THOUGHT WE PLAYED FANTASTIC. IN FACT, WE'RE PLAYING AGAIN IN APRIL FOR KNOX SCHACHTER'S TOURNAMENT , SO WE HAVE TO DO BETTER THAN FOURTH-PLACE. I AM SURE WE WILL, SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. WE HAVE THE EGG MY LAWN EVENT THAT IS COMING UP. THAT IS ALWAYS A FUN ONE. I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO MSD GIRLS SOCCER. THEY PLACED FOURTH IN THE STATE TOURNAMENT , AND THE WRESTLING THEY HAD THIS WEEKEND, WE HAD TWO STATE QUALIFIERS WITH DAVID AND ROCCO, THEN WE HAD A STATE CHAMPION WITH GABBY, SO HOPEFULLY YOU CAN GET THEM, ESPECIALLY GABBY. SHE IS A SPECIAL KID. SHE WON STATES AND, YOU KNOW, A QUICK STORY

COME UP WITH YOUR TEAM? >>

>> SO , CHARLOTTE IS THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF BROWARD COUNTY AREA AGENCY . THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE WITH US. AS I GET OLDER, MY EYES ARE GETTING WORSE , AND I HAVE BIFOCALS AND REGULAR GLASSES, BUT I THINK I NEED TO ACTUALLY SWITCH TO READERS WHEN I AM DOING THESE THINGS BECAUSE IT GETS HARDER AND HARDER TO SEE.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO CHANGE THE DESIGNATON OF APPROXIMATELY 4.35 ACRES OF LAND GENERALLY LOCATED SOUTH OF LOXAHATCHEE ROAD AND APPROXIMATELY 0.7 MILES WEST OF PARKSIDE DRIVE, AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT A, FROM PALM BEACH COUNTY RR-10 TO CITY OF PARKLAND COMMERCIAL, PROVIDING FOR RECERTIFICATION, PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. CASE NUMBER LUPA 23-002. 9C, ORDINANCE 2024-002: REZONING 4.35 ACRES TO SELF STORAGE DISTRICT, SECOND READING. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND, FLORIDA, REZONING APPROXIMATELY 4.35 ACRES OF LAND GENERALLY LOCATED SOUTH OF LOXAHATCHEE ROAD AND

[00:25:04]

DATE. >> THAT WAS A LOT THERE.

>> ALSEY WHAT TAKES LONGER, READING THE TITLES ARE MY

PRESENTATION. >> HOPEFULLY, THE TITLES.

>> WE'LL SEE. >> KAITLYN FORBES, FOR THE RECORD, AND ANTHONY, I DID SPEAK TO THE APPLICANT, AND THEY ARE AWAITING QUASI PROCEEDINGS. TONIGHT, WE ARE HERE TO REVIEW A HANDFUL , WOULD BE A GOOD WAY TO DESCRIBE THE AMOUNT OF APPLICATIONS WE HAVE TONIGHT, OF APPLICATIONS RELATED TO THE PARKLAND SELF STORAGE SITE GET THE MAP ON THE SCREEN ORIENTS US TO WHERE THE SUBJECT SITE IS WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS A COUPLE TIMES NOW, SO JUST TO REFRESH, IT'S APPROXIMATELY FOUR ACRES SOUTH OF LOXAHATCHEE , AND WEST OF THE FALLS COMMUNITY. THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY VACANT .

AS ANTHONY NOTED AND AS WE HAVE DISCUSSED, IT'S APPROXIMATELY 148,000 SQUARE FEET OF SELF STORAGE USE IN A THREE-STORY BUILDING THAT IS DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE TWO STORIES FROM THE EXTERIOR. THE APPLICATIONS ARE SHOWN ON THE SCREEN HERE, AND YOU ALL BEAT ME TO IT, SO WE CAN TAKE ONE OF THESE OFF MY LIST, WHICH IS HELPFUL FOR ME. TONIGHT, WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THE LAND USE PLAN MAP AMENDMENT REQUEST, THE REZONING APPLICATION PLAT SPECIAL EXCEPTION VARIANCE AND SPECIAL EXCEPTION APPROVAL . WE WILL SKIP THIS SLIDE BECAUSE WE ALREADY APPROVED THIS, THEN GET TO THE MAP AMENDMENT. THIS IS SECOND READING OF THE MAP AMENDMENT, SO YOU SAW THIS A COUPLE WEEKS BACK. JUST AS A REFRESHER, THE REQUEST IS TO AMEND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP WITH THE SUBJECT SITE TO CHANGE THE DESIGNATION FROM PALM BEACH COUNTY , OUR INTENT FOR CITY OF PARKLAND COMMERCIAL PITAS WOULD ACCOMMODATE THE SELF STORAGE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL AND ALSO EFFECTIVELY PLACE THE PROPERTY ON THE CITY'S FUTURE USE LAND MAP TO THE APPLICANT DID RECEIVE AN APPROVAL FOR THEIR BROWARD COUNTY AMENDMENT THAT WOULD MIRROR THIS APPLICATION SO THE MAPS AT OUR LOCAL LEVEL AND AT THE COUNTY LEVEL ARE CONSISTENT. AT THE COUNTY LEVEL, THEY HAVE A COMMERCE DESIGNATION. REZONING, AGAIN, SECOND READING OF THIS, SO WE REVIEWED THIS A COUPLE WEEKS BACK AS WELL. BE REQUESTED TO AMEND THE DESIGNATION FROM PALM BEACH COUNTY AR TO CITY OF PARKLAND S-1 PBS ONE DISTRICT WAS PURPOSELY WRITTEN TO ACCOMMODATE SELF STORAGE AS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION USE IN 2023. THE PLAT APPLICATION IS SPECIFIC TO THE AMOUNT OF DEVELOPMENT THAT IS PROPOSED IN THE APPLICATION CURRENTLY, SO THE PLAT WOULD BE RESTRICTED TO 148,722 SQUARE FEET OF SELF STORAGE, AND IF YOU CAN READ IT WITHOUT YOUR READERS, THE NOTE IS ON THE LEFT THERE, AND YOU WILL SEE ALONG THE TOP, SOME OF THE SQUIGGLY HASH LINES .

THAT'S ENOUGH THE NON-VEHICULAR ACCESS LINE, AND YOU WILL SEE THE OPENING FOR THE DRIVEWAY THERE. PLOTTING IS LARGELY A FUNCTION OF THE COUNTY, SO THIS IS THE FIRST STEP IN THE PROCESS. IT WILL GO TO THE COUNTY NEXT FOR REVIEW , AND THAT'S ONE OF THE PENDING ACTION ITEMS BEFORE THEY CAN GO

[00:30:02]

THE SITE PLAN DRAWING IS SHOWN HERE ON THE RIGHT, AND THE APPLICANT WILL PROVIDE A SUPPLEMENTAL PRESENTATION AFTER , AND I BELIEVE THEY HAVE COLORING RENDERINGS AS WELL TO HELP YOU SEE THE PLAN MORE EASILY HERE . YOU CAN SEE THE ACCESS OFF OF LOCKS WITH THE GENERAL CIRCULATION LOOP AROUND THE PERIMETER. THE BUILDING IS LOCATED GENERALLY IN THE FRONT WITH LOADING ZONES TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUILDING THERE , AND THE PARKING, STANDARD PARKING TO THE NORTH OF THE PROPERTY. HERE, THAT IS BLOWN UP AGAIN.

THE COLOR RENDERINGS IN THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION WILL HELP YOU SEE THIS A LITTLE BIT IN MORE DETAIL PROBABLY. SO, THERE IS A VARIANCE REQUEST AS PART OF THIS APPLICATION. A VARIANCE REQUEST IS REQUESTING A REDUCTION IN THE PERIMETER BUFFER YARDS ON THE EAST, SOUTH, AND WEST. A 50 FOOT BUFFER YARD IS REQUIRED, AND THEY ARE REDUCING THE BUFFER YARDS BELOW 50 FEET IN ALL THREE OF THOSE INSTANCES. ON THE EASTERN SIDE , THE BUFFER IS REDUCED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 25 FEET . APPROXIMATELY 16 FEET IN THE SOUTH AND APPROXIMATELY 18 FEET ON THE WEST, SO THE TEAM WORKED CLOSELY WITH A LANDSCAPE REVIEW TEAM FROM THE CITY TO, WITH MITIGATING DESIGN FEATURES TO LESSEN THE IMPACT OF THIS VARIANCE REQUEST, AND THEY DID INCLUDE ADDITIONAL FEATURES THAT WOULD NOT OTHERWISE BE INCORPORATED IN THE DESIGN, AND WE'RE ALSO GOING TO SEE A REVISED BURN DESIGN ALONG THE EASTERN PROPERTY PERIMETER LINE, AND THAT IS A MODIFICATION TO THE FALLS PERIMETER BURN THAT TIES IN THIS PROPERTY IN THE FALLS WITH ONE UNIFIED BURN, RATHER THAN HAVING TO COMPLETE BURNS ON THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES, LEAVING KIND OF AN EMPTY AREA THAT IS HARD TO MAINTAIN. THE OPERATOR THE PROPERTY OWNERS WANT TO COORDINATE TO CREATE ONE UNIFIED BERM, SO THERE IS ONE PEEK AT THE PROPERTY LINE THERE, WHICH IS A PREFERRED CONDITION FROM THE CITY'S PERSPECTIVE. A COUPLE SLIDES ON THE VARIANCE HERE AND IS MITIGATING FACTORS WE TALKED ABOUT, THIS IS SOME IMAGES OF THE CURRENT CONDITIONS. THE BERM ON THE FALLS SIDE IS SHOWN HERE, SO YOU CAN SEE THE VILLAS ON THE LEFT IMAGE AND STRAIGHT ON IMAGE OF THE BUFFER. WHAT HAPPENED WAS WHEN THE FALLS DEVELOPED THEIR BERM, THEY TOOK ALL THE MATERIAL THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN PLANTED ON BOTH SIDES OF THAT BERM IT IT WAS DEVELOPED WITH THE COMPLETE BERM WITHIN THE FALLS PROPERTY LINE. THEY TOOK ALL THAT VEGETATION, PLANTED IT ON THE ONE SLOPING SIDE THAT DOES EXIST IN ANTICIPATION OF THE SELF STORAGE LIGHT. HE ESSENTIALLY DOUBLED UP ON THE LANDSCAPE MATERIAL THERE, AND SPEAKING OF THE LANDSCAPE REVIEW TEAM, IT'S PRETTY PACKED . THERE IS ROOM FOR MULCH, AND THAT'S ABOUT IT AND DISCUSS IT WITH THE LANDSCAPE TEAM, SO THERE'S NOT MUCH ROOM TO PLANT ADDITIONAL MATERIALS BEYOND WHAT IS THERE, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE SCREEN. IT IS PRETTY DENSE AS IT IS PLANTED CURRENTLY GET

>> KAITLYN, CAN I ASK WHAT THEY DID IT SAY ? DOUBLE -- CAN YOU

GO BACK? >> I'M GOING TO MOVE THAT OVER. THERE YOU GO. SORRY, COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN. THE SEAL IS MOSTLY ON THAT SIDE. I DON'T KNOW IF I MINIMIZED IT, IF IT IMPACTS IT OR NOT. OKAY. LET US KNOW, COMMISSIONER

MAYERSOHN GET >> A LITTLE BIT FURTHER ,

ACTUALLY. >> THE TEXT THERE WAS JUST SPEAKING TO THE DOUBLE PLAN MATERIAL.

>> AND MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY ARE GOING TO PLAN ON THE

OTHER SIDE OF THIS BERM? >> THAT YES, THAT IS CORRECT. I WILL GET TO THAT IN THE OTHER SIDE. YOU WILL PROBABLY SEE THAT BETTER. OKAY. THIS PROBABLY SPEAKS TO YOUR QUESTION HERE. THERE IS NO REDUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF LANDSCAPE MATERIAL ON THE SELF STORAGE SITE . THEY HAVEN'T

[00:35:05]

AGAIN, THE TREES WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE SPREAD OUT. THEY WOULD'VE HAD MORE GAPS AND THAT SCREEN, AND THE FALLS BERM IS DOUBLE PLANTED. WITH ALL THOSE IN MIND, THEY DID WORK CLOSELY WITH THE LANDSCAPE TEAM ON THIS DESIGN THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. GETTING TO THE COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD APPLICATION IS A COUPLE OF THE RENDERING IMAGES FROM THE NORTHWEST AND SOUTHEAST. THIS IS A THREE-STORY BUILDING, BUT THEY DID WORK CLOSELY WITH THE DD RP THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS TO MITIGATE THE SCALE OF THE PROJECT, SO THEY MADE IT EFFECTIVELY LOOK LIKE A TWO-STORY BUILDING FROM THE EXTERIOR. THE OPPOSITE VIEWS . YOU CAN SEE THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIALS INCLUDED IN THE FACADE AND ELEVATION DESIGN , TILE ROOF, STONE , NEUTRAL COLOR PALETTE , IN KEEPING WITH THE CITY'S COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD STANDARDS.

THE DDRP FELT THIS WAS FAR EXCEEDED A LOT OF THE OTHER SELF STORAGE FACILITIES THAT ARE MORE TYPICAL AND CERTAINLY MET THE COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD STANDARDS WITHIN THE CITY'S DEVELOPMENT CODE . YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE DESIGN ELEMENTS, INCLUDING THE PERIMETER WALL AND LIGHT POSTS.

THERE IS ONE WALL SIGN THAT IS SHOWN HERE ON THE SECOND FLOOR, AND THAT IS ON THE NORTHERN FACADE. GETTING INTO THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EACH OF THESE, WE ALREADY DISCUSSED NUMBER ONE, SO THAT IS TAKEN CARE OF. THE AMENDMENT, THIS IS A LEGISLATIVE DECISION. SHOULD YOU APPROVE IT, WE RECOMMEND TWO CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, THE FIRST BEING PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF PERMITS OF THE MAP IS RECERTIFIED HERE JUST AS A NOTE, IT DID INCLUDE THIS PROPERTY IN THE DRAFT SUBMISSION TO THE COUNCIL THAT IS IN FOR CONSIDERATION CURRENTLY THAT INCLUDES RECERTIFICATION OF A HANDFUL OF OTHER PROPERTIES TO BRING THE CITY'S MAP UP-TO-DATE , SO THAT IS ALREADY SOMEWHAT IN PROCESS AND IS BEING CURRENTLY REVIEWED , SHOULD THE AMENDMENT GO THROUGH TODAY. IT JUST IS A LITTLE BIT OF TIME ON STAFF SIDE. THE SECOND CONDITION IS APPROVAL OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TEXT AMENDMENT, AND OF COURSE, RECERTIFICATION OF OUR FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT AND SOMETHING WE TAKE CARE OF THE COUNTY LEVEL WITH THE PLANNING COUNCIL WHO NEED TO REVIEW OUR TEXT AND MAKE SURE IT COMPLIES

[00:40:03]

THE SECOND CONDITION YOUR PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD RECOMMENDED WAS LIMITING ACCESS BEFORE 6:00 A.M. AND AFTER 10:00 P.M. THE OTHER CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL RELATE TO COMPLETION OF THE PERIMETER LANDSCAPE AND BUFFERS PRIOR TO THE BUILDING'S FIRST INSPECTION. THE FOURTH IS A STANDARD LANDSCAPE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE CONDITION. THE FIFTH BEING COMPLIANCE WITH ANNEXATION AGREEMENT. THE SIXTH OF BEING CONTINUED COORDINATION WITH THE FALLS TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY APPLICATION AND DRAWINGS RELATING TO THE UNIFIED BERM. DEFAULTED PROVIDE AN APPLICATION FOR THAT UNIFIED BERM AND WE'RE RETURNING TO WORK WITH THEM TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A FULL SET OF DRAWINGS WE NEED, SO WE'RE IN THAT PROCESS COMPLETING THAT WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO AND ROUTING THAT TO THE COMMISSION FOR REVIEW. AND THE SAID EVENT , ANOTHER STANDARD COMPILATION COMPLY WITH THE. PENDING ACTIONS MOVING FORWARD, SHOULD EVERYTHING BE APPROVED AFTER TONIGHT, THERE IS TWO PIECES, AS I NOTED, RECORDATION OF THE PLAT AND RECERTIFICATION OF THE TEXT BY THE BROWARD COUNTY PLANNING CENTER. I WILL TURN IT OVER TO THE APPLICANT TO MAKE THEIR PRESENTATION AND BE

AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. >> OKAY. SO , CAN I HAVE

DENNIS? >> IT IS JUST THE AEROS

TONIGHT. LET ME ZOOM. YEAH. >> IT EVENING. SO, COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN, WHILE THEY WERE TALKING, THEY MOVED TO FROM TALLAHASSEE TO PENSACOLA, BUT WE CAN STILL SEE

YOU. >> THAT IS GOOD.

>> I COULDN'T HELP IT. A LOT OF THESE ARE REPEATS, AND I MUST TELL YOU MISS FORBES DOES SUCH A COMPLETE JOB, THAT I WILL SKIP A LOT OF THE BECAUSE I WILL JUST REPEATING WHAT SHE ALREADY SAID. THESE ARE ALL THE THINGS WE'VE ALREADY DONE AT THE TOP. WE TALKED ABOUT THAT. THESE ARE THE THINGS WE ARE DOING TONIGHT AT THE BOTTOM. THE SAME NAPPIES OFFER THE LAND USE YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING FROM PALM BEACH COUNTY'S GOING TO S-1, CITY OF PARKLAND, WITH THE NEW CODE SECTION THAT WAS ADOPTED LAST YEAR. THIS IS THE PLAT, THE SAME PLAN YOU SAW EARLIER, OTHER THAN WE PUT THE MAXIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE IN BIG BLUE LETTERS ON THE LEFT BECAUSE YOU CANNOT READ IT ON THE PLAN ITSELF BECAUSE IT IS TOO SMALL. THIS IS OUR SITE PLAN THAT IS TURNED SIDEWAYS, SO YOU SEE LOCKS ROAD IS ON THE RIGHT, AND THAT WOULD BE NORTH. HERE IS A COLORED VERSION. I THINK IT'S A LITTLE EASIER TO READ. YOU SEE OUR ACCESS. YOU SEE OUR BUILDING, OUR SETBACKS . WE MEET ALL THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS PDC OUR BUFFERS, AND ALTHOUGH WE DO HAVE VARIANCE BY THE BUFFERS, I'D LIKE YOU TO NOTICE HOW HEAVY WE PUT IN THE TREES. NOT ONLY THE ONES RIGHT UP AGAINST THE PROPERTY LINES, BUT ALSO THE ONES AGAINST THE BUILDING THAT WILL ADD ADDITIONAL SCREENING , AND I THINK MS. FORBES SHOWED EARLIER ON ONE OF THE SLIDES THE TALL TREES AND PALMS THAT WE'RE PUTTING RIGHT UP AGAINST THE BUILDING. YOU CAN SEE THEM HERE AS WELL. YOU NOTICED THE DRIVEWAY GOES ALL THE WAY AROUND THE BUILDING. THAT'S NECESSARY FOR FIRE ACCESS. THAT WAS PART OF OUR DRC REVIEW . OH, BEFORE I GO TO THESE, A COUPLE ADDITIONAL ITEMS. MS. FORBES READ INTO THE RECORD THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL WITH THE HOURS OF BUSINESS, PROHIBITING A PRINTING U-HAUL'S AND THAT SORT OF THING , THE PROHIBITION AGAINST STORING TRUCKS ON THE PROPERTY, BUT THERE'S A COUPLE ADDITIONAL ITEMS WE WERE ASKED ABOUT THAT I WANT TO PUT INTO RECORD AS WELL. WE DO NOT ALLOW ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS OR TOXIC SUBSTANCES IN THE PROPERTY. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE CITY MANAGER EARLIER IN THE WEEK, AND HE SENT OVER OUR STANDARD RULES THAT ARE GIVEN TO EVERYONE AS PART OF THEIR LEASE, SO WE CANNOT HAVE THOSE MATERIALS ON THE PROPERTY. YOU CANNOT OPEN A USINESS IN A STORAGE UNIT . THE ONLY OFFICE IN THIS PROPERTY IS THE OFFICE FOR THE OWNER OF THE STORAGE FACILITY, SO IF YOU ARE COMING TO RENT SPACE, YOU ARE COMING TO THAT OFFICE, SIGN YOUR

[00:45:01]

WE REACHED OUT TO THE FOLKS AT THE FALLS, AND WE'RE GOING TO PREPARE THE TOP OF THAT BERM AND THE REST OF THAT BERM, WHICH MEANS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO ON THEIR PROPERTY FOR A SMALL AREA . IF YOU SEE ON THIS DRAWING WHERE THE PEAK OF THAT BERM IS AND YOU SEE WHERE THE LIGHT GRAY BECOMES A LITTLE DARKER GRAY? THAT DARKER GRAY IS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE FILLING INTO CREATE THAT PEAK, AND OF COURSE, PUTTING IN OUR WALL AND LANDSCAPING ON THE SIDE . YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH TALLER THAT IS THE END THE GROUND LEVEL NEXT TO IT FOR THE HOMES. THIS WILL BE THE SAME ON THE SOUTH AND WEST IN TERMS OF -- NOT THAT WE HAVE A COMBINED BERM BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING IN THE SOUTH AND WEST YET, BUT WE'LL BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THE SAME KIND OF SEPARATION AND BUFFER AND SCREENING ON THOSE

SIDES AS WELL . >> DENNIS, CAN I STOP YOU FOR A SECOND, PLEASE? IF YOU GO BACK TO THE LAST SLIDE, AND I DON'T KNOW, KAITLYN, ALL YOUR SLIDES SEPARATE FROM THIS , OR CAN WE GO BACKWARDS? I KNOW THERE WAS AN IMAGE SIMILAR TO THIS IN YOUR PRESENTATION. IS THAT IN THIS? THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK BECAUSE THE PALM TREE THAT WAS UP AGAINST THE BUILDING IN YOUR BIT IMAGE WAS MUCH TALLER THAN THIS ONE.

[00:50:01]

>> ACTUALLY THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING PAPER GOT ALL OF OURS ARE SHOWING AT THE TIME OF PLANTING, BUT THERE ARE ONES THAT , IF YOU DO IT AT THE TIME OF MATURITY, THE TREES WOULD BE THICKER AND FILLED IN AND TAUGHT AS WELL.

>> THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING AND MATURITY WILL BE AT THE

HEIGHT OF THE ROOF ? >> THE BUILDING IS 40 FEET TALL, AND I HAVE NO DOUBT THE APOLOGY CAN GET TO BE 40 FEET TALL, BUT IT IS NOT 40 FEET TALL WHEN YOU TRANSPLANT IT.

>> I'M UNDERSTAND WHERE WE ARE STARTING, WHERE YOU GO. Ú>> OK AT THE TIME OF PLANTING, AND IF I CAN GO BACK, THAT RENDERING IS THE SAME AS THIS PICTURE ON THE RIGHT. YOU SEE WHERE YOU'VE GOT THE LITTLE RAILING? THEN YOU GO TO THAT. THAT IS THE SAME SPOT. THIS IS THE NORTHERNMOST VILLA IN THE FALLS LOOKING TO THE WEST , AND AT THE TIME OF PLANTING, THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE. OBVIOUSLY, A COUPLE YEARS INTO IT, AND THESE TREES ARE GOING TO BE THICKER AND TALLER AND SCREEN THE BUILDING COMPLETELY. SO, WANTED TO SHOW YOU THAT. THEN ONE MORE THING. SO, I HAVE BEEN ASKED, AND IT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION, WHY IS THERE A VARIANCE AT ALL WHEN THIS IS A BRAND-NEW CODE SECTION WRITTEN FOR THIS PURPOSE? THE REASON I AM SHOWING YOU THIS PICTURE IS ONE OF THE THINGS IN THE S-1 DISTRICT , IT SAYS YOU CANNOT HAVE A SELF STORAGE FACILITY IN PARKLAND IF IT IS WITHIN A MILE AND A HALF OF ANOTHER SELF STORAGE FACILITY, REGARDLESS OF WHAT CITY THAT OTHER SELF STORAGE FACILITY IS LOCATED IN. SO WHEN YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE SELF STORAGE FACILITIES IN COCONUT CREEK, BOCA RATON, AND CORAL SPRINGS, THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE LEFT WITH, AND HOURS, IF YOU APPROVE OURS, THAT IS THE BLUE. ALL THE YELLOW ARE THE MILE AND HAVE RADIUS AROUND THE EXISTING ONES, SO IF YOU CAN SEE THE PARCELS THAT ARE SHOWN IN RED, THOSE ARE YOUR COMMERCIAL LAND-USE PARCELS IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND , AND YOU SEE THE ONES ON 441? YOU COULD NOT HAVE SELF STORAGE THERE BECAUSE IT'S UNDER THE YELLOW CIRCLES FROM THE COCONUT CREEK AND BOCA LOCATIONS. YOUR COMMERCIAL LOAN UNIVERSITY, IF WE ARE APPROVED, ALSO THOSE THREE LOCATIONS . YOU SEE IT TRAILS INTO HILLSBORO, ET CETERA, THOSE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE SELF STORAGE EITHER BECAUSE THEY ARE WITHIN A MILE AND A HALF OF US, SO THE ONLY COMMERCIAL PROPERTY NOT ENCUMBERED BY ONE OF THESE MILE AND A HALF CIRCLES IS ALL THE WAY DOWN AT THE BOTTOM AT WEST VIEW AND UNIVERSITY. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THAT IS ASHTON GARDENS COMES UP EVEN THOUGH IT IS LAND-USE COMMERCIAL, IT'S ALREADY DEVELOPED FOR ANOTHER PURPOSE. THE REASON I AM SHOWING YOU THIS IS BECAUSE I WAS NOT THERE AT THE TIME. NEITHER WAS MR. SOROKA, BUT I THINK A DECISION WAS MADE, WHY DIDN'T WE JUST MAKE A CODE FOR THE BUFFER FOR A SELF STORAGE FACILITY AS OPPOSED TO HAVING VARIANCES? I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY THE REASON. I CANNOT SAY FOR SURE BECAUSE I WASN'T THERE, BUT THIS IS LIKELY TO BE THE ONLY ONE YOU WILL EVER HAVE. WE CAN SAY IT WILL BE THE ONLY ONE YOU'VE EVER HAD APPLY, THEY COULD ASK TO AMEND - THE LAND USE MAP LIKE THEY WE ARE DOING, TO REZONE THAT WE ARE DOING, TO SITE PLAN, HAVE A SPECIAL EXCEPTION, SO IT WOULD BE VERY MUCH AT THE DISCRETION OF THE CITY, WHETHER YOU WANTED TO DO IT OR NOT BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE TO AMEND THE LAND USE MAP. YOU DON'T HAVE TO REZONE. YOU HAVE TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS. I DON'T NECESSARILY LIKE THE FACT THAT WE ARE HERE FOR VARIANCE, BUT I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY WHAT IT WAS DETERMINED AT THAT TIME TO DO IT THIS WAY AS OPPOSED TO REWRITING THE CODE FOR SOMETHING THAT MAY NEVER COME UP AGAIN GET THOSE ARE ALL THE SLIDES I HAVE TO SHOW. IF THERE'S QUESTIONS, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. IF THERE'S PUBLIC COMMENT, THE OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND IS

APPROPRIATE. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, DENNIS.

SO, MY QUICK COMMENTS FROM ME FROM THE BEGINNING IS YOU HEAR SELF STORAGE. YOU GET A LITTLE NERVOUS . WHAT IS IT GOING TO LOOK LIKE? KUDOS TO YOU, GUYS. I THINK THE BUILDING LOOKS FANTASTIC, AND I APPRECIATE THE FACT YOU GUYS HAVE WORKED WITH THE FALLS . YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO REACH OUT TO YOUR NEIGHBORS AND HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS SO, CERTAINLY, HELPFUL. OBVIOUSY, GIVEN OUT VARIANCES IS NOT SOMETHING WE PARTICULARLY ENJOY DOING, BUT I THINK YOU MADE UP WITH, YOU KNOW, CONDENSING THE BUFFERS WITH BUILDING OR PROVIDING LARGER TREES . YOU KNOW, IT APPEARS , RIGHT FROM THE GET-GO, AT PLANTING, THERE SHOULD BE A LOT OF, YOU KNOW ? YOU SHOULD BE HIDING THE BUILDING PRETTY WELL, AND I THINK VISIBLY, IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO REALLY SEE. LIKE YOU SAID, IN A FEW YEARS, IT SHOULD TOTALLY DISAPPEAR.

>> I HAVE SOME COMMENTS, MAYOR . I ALLUDED TO THIS AT THE LAST

[00:55:01]

I DON'T BELIEVE THE PLANTING , AND I HAD KAITLYN REACH OUT TO OUR ARBORIST . THEY CAN'T IMPROVE BASED ON THE SIZE OF THE BUFFERS BEING SO CONDENSED AND SO TIGHTLY PACKED AND THERE, THAT THEY CAN'T IMPROVE THE SHIELDING WITH THE VEGETATION. WHO KNOWS IF IT'S EVEN GOING TO BE ABLE TO GROW IN FULLY YET BECAUSE OF HOW PACKED IT IS, BUT KAITLYN, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU AND WHAT IS GOING TO BE THE TOP OF THE ELEVATION ON ALL SIDES OF THE BERM ELEVATION, GIVEN WHAT OF THE PARCEL S SLOPES AND THE HEIGHT OF THE BERM IS NOT GOING TO BE THE SAME BECAUSE OF THE SLOPE AND WITH THESE EXCESSIVE VARIANCES, IT RAISES THE CONCERN.

>> I'M GOING TO ASK PATTY TO COME UP AND ANSWER THAT QUESTION, AND I'M GOING TO SEE IF I CAN FIND THAT IN THE PLAN

SET FOR YOU AS WELL IT >> MY HOPE WAS AMPED ASIDE AND I KNOW WE GOT A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF SO HORSE AT THE LAST MEETING, BUT MY HOPE IN DOING THAT WAS THAT THE APPLICANT WOULD APPRECIATE A CONCERNS ABOUT THE VARIANCES AND COME BACK WITH SOME PLAN TO EITHER ELIMINATE THEM OR SEVERELY MODIFY THEM TO MAKE THE BUFFER ISSUE LESS OF AN IMPACT .

UNFORTUNATELY, THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED .

>> ONE OF THE THINGS I GUESS FOR CLARIFICATION , THE BUFFER, KAITLYN ? THE BUFFER CONCEPT IS FOR , OBVIOUSLY, NOISE, VISIBILITY, THINGS OF THAT NATURE, CORRECT? RIGHT, SO YOU HAVE SAID , AS FAR AS THE VISIBILITY OF THE BUILDING ITSELF , IF YOU GO BACK TO ONE OF YOUR SLIDES . IF YOU GO BACK

TO YOUR SLIDES, IF YOU WILL? >> JUST ONE SECOND.

>> I DON'T THINK WE CAN CREDIBLY SAY THAT IT'S A

[01:00:02]

>> THAT IS AS FULL GROWTH, CORRECT?

>> THIS ONE ISSUING FULL MATURITY AND AT THE TIME OF PLANTING, THESE WERE PRODUCED BY THE APPLICANT.

>> THAT IS ON A 25 FOOT BUFFER ON THE EAST SIDE. ON THE WEST SIDE, IT IS AN 18 FOOT BUFFER. ON THE SOUTH SIDE, IT IS A 16 FOOT BUFFER. I THINK IT IS SLOPED ELEVATION, WHICH MEANS

-- >> THIS IS AT 16 FEET.

>> BUT IT'S 16 FEET . IF YOU LOOK AT WHERE HE IS STANDING, THERE IS A DECREASING SLOPE. IT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE STANDING IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING, WHAT YOU SAW ON THE

WEST OR THE WEBSITE. >> YOU'RE LOOKING AT A BUILDING, THE ARCHITECTURE, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU ARE LOOKING

AT RED GARAGE DOORS. >> I LIKE THE ARCHITECTURE. I LIKE WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO MASK THAT IT IS A TWO-STORY BUILDING

. >> PART ABOUT HAVING THAT ARCHITECTURE IS BEING ABLE TO SEE IT A LITTLE BIT. GRANTED, NOT THAT WE NECESSARILY WANT -- IF YOU LOOK OUTSIDE, YOU SEE

YOUR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE? >> I SEE MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE FOR SURE, BUT THIS IS A LITTLE BIT -- WE'RE PUTTING -- IN THREE NEIGHBORHOODS' BACKYARDS, AND I THINK THERE'S A REASON WHY WE HAVE TO BUFFERS . I DON'T THINK IT WAS EVER ANTICIPATED WHEN WE WERE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION LAST YEAR OR JUNE. IN FACT, MR. MEALY ACKNOWLEDGED IT. WE WOULD BE COMING DOWN HERE, ASKING FOR ALL THESE RECONFIGURATIONS,

PLUS MULTIPLE VARIANCES. >> AND I DON'T DISAGREE WITH YOU AT ALL ON THAT POINT. MY OBJECTIVE IS TO LIMIT THE VISIBILITY FROM THE RESIDENTS , AND IF STAFF IS TELLING US THE VISIBILITY , WHICH LOOKING AT THESE DIAGRAMS, THE VISIBILITY, IS CERTAINLY LIMITED , YOU KNOW, TO THE RESIDENTS. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE OWNER HAS, AGAIN, HE HAS REACHED OUT TO THE FALLS. LET'S ALSO KEEP IN MIND THIS BUILDING IS AND IS WAS ORIGINALLY IN UNINCORPORATED BROWARD COUNTY, SO THEY COULD'VE STAYED IN BROWARD COUNTY, AND THEY COULD HAVE PUT UP AN ORANGE GARAGE DOOR SELF STORAGE FACILITY, SO I THINK JUST, YOU KNOW, THE WILLINGNESS OF THE OWNER TO COME INTO PARKLAND, UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE WANT AS FAR AS HOW ARCHITECTURE LOOKS LIKE AND WHAT BUILDING LOOKS LIKE, AND HE HAS MET A LOT OF THAT , YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS WHAT THE BUILDING LOOKS LIKE, ADDING TALLER, MATURE TREES THAT WILL EVENTUALLY GROW, REACHING OUT TO THE NEIGHBORS . HE CERTAINLY HAS SHOWN TO ME HIS WILLINGNESS TO TRY TO WORK WITH US. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE TRY TO DO IS WE KEEP THAT IN MIND AND UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A WILLING PARTNER THAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US TRYING TO -- NOT TRYING TO DECEIVE US OR DO ANYTHING UNDERHANDED REALLY.

WE'RE JUST IN AN UNFORTUNATE SITUATION BECAUSE COMMISSIONER BREYER IS ACCURATE BY SAYING IT WOULD'VE SOLVED A LOT OF PROBLEMS, HAD WE UNDERSTOOD THE WHOLE CONCEPT AS FAR AS BUFFERS AND WHEN WE MADE THE SPECIAL DISTRICT SO THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE TO NECESSARILY COME BACK HERE AND DO THIS VARIANCE. WE ARE HERE NOW, SO WE NEED TO OBVIOUSLY FIGURE

SOMETHING OUT. >> I APPRECIATE AND AGREE WITH YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT THE APPLICANT BEING COOPERATIVE AND DOING THINGS AND GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND IN SOME ASPECTS, AND I WHOLLY APPRECIATE THAT. THAT'S WHY, CANDIDLY, I MADE THE COMMENTS GETTING AHEAD OF IT AT THE LAST MEETING, HOPING THE APPLICANT WOULD ASSESS THE CONCERNS OVER THE VARIANCES BECAUSE MY COMMENTS AT THE LAST MEETING WEREN'T I DON'T WANT A SELF STORAGE FACILITY THERE. I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS, THAT WE SPRUNG OUT WITH MULTIPLE VARIANCES, WHICH ATTACKED THE VERY CONCERN WE HAD IN THE BEGINNING, WHICH IS WHAT IS THIS GOING TO LOOK LIKE FROM THE ADJACENT PARCELS, AND HOW IS THIS GOING TO IMPACT THE VIEW FROM THE ENTIRE AREA, SO I DO AGREE, DISAGREE IT'S NOT UNFORTUNATE. I THINK IT'S SELF MANUFACTURED. THEY DREW THE LINE AS TO WHERE THE SOUTH PROPERTY LINE IS. THEY COULD DRAW THAT LINE 34 FEET FURTHER SOUTH AND CREATE A 50 FOOT BUFFER.

>> THEY WOULD HAVE TO DRASTICALLY CHANGE THE SIZE OF

THE BUILDING. >> FOR THE SOUTH PARCEL, I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO DO ANYTHING. MY UNDERSTANDING, AND THEY CAN BE CREATIVE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S AN EASEMENT, REDRAWING THE BOUNDARY LINE. IF THEY WANT TO CREATE A 50 FOOT

[01:05:09]

>> BUT THAT IS JUST THE SOUTH PARCEL.

>> THEN YOU GET TO THE WEST PARCEL AND EACH PARCEL, THEN IT IS. THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF A VARIANCES YOU ARE UNABLE TO COMPLY, NOT THAT YOU WANT TO BUILD TO THE PERIMETER, AND NOT COMPLY BECAUSE YOU HAVE CHOSEN. I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE GET INTO THE ISSUE. LIKE I SAID BACK IN JUNE, THERE WAS AN ISSUE OF GOING THROUGH THIS ENTIRE PROCESS AND HAVING MULTIPLE VARIANCES EXPANDING TO THE EDGES OF THE PROPERTY WITH

REDUCING THE BUFFERS. >> THE BUFFERS, TECHNICALLY IT IS THREE VARIANCE . IS THAT ACCURATE?

>> IT'S ONE VARIANCE APPLICATION AND REQUEST, AFFECTING THE PROPERTY LINES. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, COMMISSIONER, THE BERM ON THE EAST SIDE AND THE SOUTH SIDE IS FIVE FEET , AND THE ENGINEER CONFIRMED ON THE WEBSITE IT IS 3 1/2. ADD THE EIGHT FOOT WALL, SO YOU GET ABOUT 13 FEET.

>> THAT IS MY CONCERN. I HOPE THERE IS A RESOLUTION HERE .

MY GUT IS THAT THERE IS. MAYBE . NEEDS A LITTLE BIT LESS SQUARE FOOTAGE, MAYBE IT MEANS AN . EASEMENT OR EXTENDING THE SOUTH BOUNDARY LINE, BUT I WOULD ENCOURAGE US AS A BODY TO LOOK AT THE VARIANCE REQUEST, GIVEN ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT HAVE LED US TO TODAY WITH THE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT, THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION, THE REDISTRICT OR CREATING A NEW DISTRICT FOR THIS PURPOSE TO LOOK AT THE VARIANCES WITH A CAREFUL EYE AND SAY TO THE APPLICANT, YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB ALREADY ADDRESSING A LOT OF THE ISSUES WE RAISED COULD GO BACK AND ADDRESS THESE ISSUES AND GET AWAY FROM THE NEED FOR THESE VARIANCES OR CERTAINLY, THE EXCESS OF THEM BECAUSE THEY

ARE PRETTY AGGRESSIVE. >> I THINK THE BOTTOM LINE FOR ME, AND I THINK WITH YOU AS WELL, IS THE VISIBILITY FROM THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES, SO IF, YOU KNOW , STAFF IS TELLING US THE VISIBILITY AT MATURITY WILL BE NIL , AT INSTALLATION WOULD BE MINIMAL , IS THAT AN ACCURATE STATEMENT? EXPLAIN A LITTLE FURTHER, BUT THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING .

>> MAYOR, ONE QUICK QUESTION THAT I HAD BEFORE PATTY COMES UP. THE LAND TO THE WEST, IS THAT IN PARKLAND OR

UNINCORPORATED BROWARD? >> UNINCORPORATED BROWARD .

>> AND WHAT WOULD BE IN UNINCORPORATED BROWARD, THE

SETBACK REQUIREMENTS ? >> I'M NOT SURE OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD WITHOUT LOOKING THAT UP. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR

DESIGNATIONS ARE. >> SO THAT COULD -- IT COULD VARY DEPENDING ON WHAT HAPPENS IN THE FUTURE.

>> THAT'S CORRECT. >> THANK YOU.

>> FOR THE RECORD, PATTY HUGHES, CITY ARBORIST. ON THE WEST PROPERTY LINE, LIKE EVERYBODY KEPT REPEATING, THEY WILL RAISE BOTH SIDES, AND THAT BYRNE IS GOING TO BE FIVE FOOT WITH THE EIGHT FOOT WALL IN LIEU OF THE SIX FOOT WALL, SO WE ALREADY HAVE 13 FEET, AND THEN THE PLANT MATERIAL IS GOING TO BE PLANTED AT 16 FOOT , SO WE'RE ALREADY GOING TO BE OVER 20 FOOT AT THE TOP OF THE TREES AT THE TIME OF

PLANTING FROM GROUND LEVEL UP. >> YOU'RE GOING TO BE AT OVER 20 TREES, 16 FEET AWAY FROM THE BUFFER, FROM THE LINE, RIGHT? THERE'S ONLY GOING TO BE, ON THE WEST SIDE WAS 18 FEET , WITH AN 18 FEET BUFFER, RATHER THAN A 15 FEET BUFFER.

>> THAT'S WHAT THE VARIANCE IS FOR, THE WIDTH . AS FAR AS DENSITY OF THE TREES, SIZE OF THE TREES AT TIME OF PLANTING, AND OVERALL HEIGHT OF THE TREES, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE NOT ONLY THE SOLID CONCRETE WALL, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A SOLID MASS OF GREENERY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BERM . AT TIME OF INSTALLATION, YES, I UNDERSTAND IT DOESN'T MEET THE SETBACK WIDTH, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE EXCEEDS 25, 30% OF WHAT WE WOULD REQUIRE ANY WAY, WHAT WE WOULD REQUIRE IF THEY WEREN'T ASKED, YOU WOULD HAVE BIG GAPS. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE 40 FOOT ON CENTER. NOW, WE HAVE THEM, AND THE SPECIES OF TREE WILL GROW IN TIGHT TOGETHER. WE CHOSE IT TO BE TREES THAT WILL GROW TOGETHER, UNLIKE THERE ARE SIX LIVE OAKS AS WELL THAT WILL BE 20 FOOT AT THE TIME OF INSTALLATION, AND THE GREEN TREES AND FORM A SOLID WALL. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. THE THAT SOLID WALL WITH THE FALLS BUFFER AND THE NEW BUFFER TO GO IN . IT'S JUST GOING TO BE TWEAKED A LITTLE BIT . IN ONE YEAR TIME, THAT'S GOING TO BE A SOLID MASS .

>> NUMBER ONE, IT WOULD BE A BETTER SCREEN BECAUSE IF IT WAS

[01:10:03]

>> BUT THEY PROBABLY WENT INTO THE LANDSCAPING AT THE DENSITY IT IS CURRENTLY, SO IT'S , YOU KNOW? THEY ARE UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT THEY ARE MAKING, AT LEAST THE WAY I AM SEEING IT .

THEY ARE UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT ARE ASKING FOR THIS LOWER BUFFER, SMALLER BUFFER, AND ADDING ALL THIS ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPE, AND SO BECAUSE THEY DON'T NEED TO HAVE ALL THIS

LAND. >> A COUPLE THINGS I LEARNED TONIGHT THAT ALSO CAME UP ON PNZ, SO IF I COULD QUICKLY.

SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS CAME UP WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD. THEY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL UNANIMOUSLY. BUT THEY ASKED MS. FORBES IF THE BUFFER WAS WIDER , HOW WOULD IT BE DIFFERENT? SO, WE HAVE FEWER TREES BECAUSE WE PLANTED EXTRA TREES. WE HAVE SMALLER TREES , A SIX FOOT WALL, AND IT'S GOING TO MAKE THE BUILDING MORE VISIBLE, NOT LESS , SAID THE WIDTH OF THE BUFFER DOES NOT DICTATE THE SCREENING OF THE BUILDING . THE SCREENING OF THE BUILDING IS DICTATED BY YOU PUT BETWEEN THE BUILDING AND YOUR NEIGHBORS . REGARDLESS OF ITS

WITH -- >> DENNIS, CAN I UNDERSTAND THAT? WHY WOULD THE SIZE OF THE TREES CHANGE?

>> IT WOULD NOT DO AS GOOD A JOB OF SCREENING IT.

>> BECAUSE WE'RE ASKING FOR VARIANCE, THEY SAID, WE WANT YOU TO COMPENSATE FOR THE FACT THAT YOU ARE ASKING FOR

VARIANCE. >> THERE IS NOTHING THAT CHANGES FEASIBILITY BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENCE IN THE BUFFER.

THAT WAS A DECISION THAT WAS MADE, RIGHT?

>> RIGHT . IF WE DIDN'T HAVE VARIANCES, WE WOULD HAVE CALLED COMPLIANT TREES, NOT TALLER ONES.

>> IT'S BASICALLY SAYING WE'RE ASKING FOR A VARIANCE, AND THAT'S WHY WE ARE GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND . BUT IF YOU DON'T GRANT THE VARIANCE, WE'RE JUST GOING TO DO THE BARE MINIMUM.

>> HOW DID WE GET TO THIS POINT. I KNOW WHAT HE IS

SAYING. >> HE DIDN'T HAVE TO HAVE THAT

. >> LET ME SHOW YOU A DIFFERENT WAY WITHOUT A VARIANCE, AND YOU ASKED ME, COULD I MAKE MY TREES TALLER, AND I WOULD SAY NO. I AM SAYING, WELL HOW DID WE GET TO THE POINT OF WHAT WE HAVE? THE OTHER THING I WANT TO POINT OUT, I RECOGNIZE THIS IS A VARIANCE. I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT. MR. SOROKIN DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT. WHAT I DO WANT TO SAY IS THE SITE PLAN WE'RE SHOWING YOU IS THE SAME ONE WE'VE HAD ALL ALONG. IT IS THE SAME ONE WE SHOW THE NEIGHBORS.

THE POSITIONING OF EVERYTHING IS WHAT WE HAVE SHOWN ALL DAY LONG. IT'S NOT LIKE WE WERE SHOWING A BUILDING THAT WAS FARTHER AWAY, AND WE'RE MOVING IT CLOSER. UNFORTUNATELY, I

DIDN'T KNOW. >> WHEN WE'RE TALKING BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS GOING TO BE VARIANCE, WHAT CHANGED ALL

OF A SUDDEN ? >> I THINK WHAT MR. MILLIE IS REFERRING TO IS SIX MONTH AGO, A MONTH AGO, 10 MONTH AGO WITH THE OTHER ITEMS WERE BEING PREPARED AND ACCRUED, INCLUDING THE ZONING DISTRICT, I WAS NOT AWARE ANY VARIANCE WAS GOING TO BE REQUIRED FOR THE SITE PLAN, AND I THINK MR. MILLIE IS SAYING THE SAME THING. RECENTLY, THAT CAME ABOUT .

>> I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WOULD WE NOT BE AWARE? IF WE HAD THE SITE PLAN AND KNOW WHAT THE CODE SAYS?

>> I THINK I CAN ANSWER THAT, AND IN ORDER TO DO SO, I HAVE TO DIVERT FROM THAT, SO I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT I HAVE BEEN IN NUMEROUS CITIES WHERE KAITLYN FORBES HAS COME IN AND SOMEBODY ELSE WAS THERE, AND I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS TIMES THAT THE PERSON AT THAT CITY BEFOREHAND MISSED THINGS THAT SHE DIDN'T MISS. SHE IS VERY THERAPY ONCE KAYLA GOT INVOLVED, SHE SAID , YOU GUYS DON'T MEET THE BUFFER WIDTH IT THAT IS WHEN WE FOUND OUT. AND I WILL TELL YOU THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED IN DANIA BEACH, WHERE THEY BROUGHT KAITLYN AND HER FIRM IN, AND THEY FOUND THINGS THE PREVIOUS PRESENTED IN, AND SHE WAS RIGHT. I'M NOT COMPLAINING. SHE IS JUST DOING

THE JOB CORRECTLY. >> MY QUESTIONS REMAIN, AND I APPRECIATE ALL THE ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING AND EVERYTHING ELSE . TO THE MAYOR'S POINT, AND I DON'T DISAGREE ONE IOTA OF IT.

THE APPLICANT HAS BEEN VERY COOPERATIVE WHETHER IT IS WITH THE FALLS ARE US ON THESE ISSUES, BUT NEVER WAS IT ANTICIPATED UNTIL ALL THE DRAWINGS GOT MORE CRITICALLY INSPECTED WAS THERE WAS GOING TO BE VARIABLE VARIANCES ON THE SOUTH SIDE, EAST SIDE, AND WEST SIDE FOR THE BUMPERS, AND MY CONCERNS REMAIN THAT THIS IS A CHOICE BY THE APPLICANT. WE CAN RESOLVE ONE OF THESE BUFFERS WITH THE APPLICANT

[01:15:03]

AND MOVE FORWARD. >> I THINK WE'RE ASKING THE APPLICANT TO SHRINK THE FOOTPRINT, WHICH WOULD DRASTICALLY CHANGE THE BUSINESS MODEL .

>> A COUPLE THINGS , AND I WILL COME BACK TO THAT. I HEARD EARLIER, CAN'T WE MAKE THE BUFFER HIGHER, AND IN OUR BERM WAS WIDER, WE COULD HERE THAT'S NOT ACCURATE. IT ALREADY HAS IT ON THE OTHER SIDE. THEN YOU CANNOT MAINTAIN THE ROOTS OF THE TREES. EVEN IF OUR BUFFER WAS WIDER, WE CANNOT MAKE THE BERM TALLER BECAUSE HALF OF IT IS ON THE OTHER GUY'S PROPERTY . AS FAR AS MOVING THE PROPERTY LINE WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH, THIS PROPERTY THAT IS COMMERCIAL, DOES SELF RESIDENTIAL, I CAN'T PUT SOMETHING COMMERCIAL AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF LAND-USE

PROPERTY. >> WHAT ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN EASEMENT ? I THOUGHT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THE APPLICANT

WOULD TRY TO CONSIDER. >> ON THE SOUTHERN PARCEL, WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY SIX ACRES. WE'LL BE DEDICATING APPROXIMATELY TWO ACRES FOR HILLSBORO BOULEVARD PLUS, WE HAVE A STRIP OF PROPERTY OF THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE HILLSBORO BOULEVARD ANYWAY . THAT PROPERTY IS STILL RELATIVELY NARROW . IF YOU ASKED US COULD WE TAKE THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE SOUTHERN PIECE AND ADD ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPE BUFFER AREA TO COMPENSATE TO COMPENSATE

[01:20:49]

PROJECT STANDS ON ITS OWN. >> THE FACT THAT YOU GRANT A VARIANCE FOR ONE PERSON DOESN'T CREATE A SITUATION WHERE YOU MUST GIVE IT TO SOMEONE ELSE.

>> YOU AGREE STILL HAVE TO APPLY THE SAME STANDARD?

>> CERTAINLY, THEY MIGHT MAKE THAT POINT , BUT IT DOESN'T BIND YOU TO DO ANYTHING. SECONDLY, IF I COULD, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE OUR PROJECT ENGINEER WHO WAS AT THE EARLY MEETINGS WITH THE CITY WHEN THIS ISSUE WS DISCUSSED. I WAS NOT THERE, SO I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HIM TELL YOU WHAT THEY

TALKED ABOUT. >> AT EVENING, URBAN DESIGN, CIVIL ENGINEER FOR THE PROJECT. WHEN WE FIRST STARTED COORDINATING WITH CITY STAFF AND PRESENTED ESSENTIALLY THE SAME SITE PLAN YOU HAVE HERE BEFORE US , THE INITIAL CONCERN , PRIMARILY FROM THAT WAS CHANGING WHAT WE IDENTIFIED EARLY ON THAT THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER WAS 50 FEET. THIS PROJECT WAS PROPOSING LESS THAN THAT. THE CONCERN WAS CHANGING, REDUCING THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER FOR THE COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS WOULD BE USED FOR ALL THE COMMERCIAL CATEGORIES . THE ATTEMPT WOULD BE IT WOULD BE APPLIED THE MEASURES WE HAVE TAKEN HERE TODAY, WHICH WAS INCREASING THE WALL, INCREASING THE DENSITY, INCREASING THE HEIGHT OF THE LANDSCAPE. THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO A BETTER JOB OF HIDING THE VISIBILITY FOR THE BUILDING FOR THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL , WITH A 50 FOOT BUFFER BY THE SAME REASONS THAT DENNIS SPOKE ABOUT . AGAIN, THE ORIGINAL INTENT, THIS WAS AN ITEM WE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE THE QUOTA WAS DROPPED IN THE FIRST ONE.

THIS WAS ALWAYS DISCUSSED. THE REASONING WAS HIS BECAUSE THEY PREFERRED WE TAKE ADDITIONAL MEASURES TO INCREASE THE WALL , INCREASE THE HEIGHT, INCREASE THE DENSITY BECAUSE, GOING FROM A BUFFER OF 25 FEET TO 50 FEET , IT IS MORE IMPORTANT ABOUT WHAT YOU ACTUALLY SEE FROM THE RESIDENTIAL. THE BUILDING STILL NEEDS MEETS THE BUILDING IMPACT. IT WAS ALWAYS DISCUSSED WITH GAIL EARLIER BEFORE . SHE IS NOT HERE, BUT THIS WAS NOT NEW, AND THIS IS SOMETHING WE WORKED ACTIVELY WITH HAND AND FOOT TO GET TO THIS POINT.

>> I CAN TELL YOU FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS AT THE OUTSET WHEN IT CAME UP AT THE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT STAGE, IT WAS NEVER ARTICULATED, WHETHER THAT IS OUR FAULT, THE APPLICANT'S FAULT, I DON'T KNOW. I'M CONFUSED NOW, BUT IT WAS NEVER ARTICULATED WE WOULD JUMP THROUGH THESE HOOPS AND HAVE AN APPLICANT REQUIRING VARIANCES FROM OUR BUFFERS, BECAUSE THE BUFFERS WAS ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS MOST CONCERNED ABOUT. HOW FAR IS THIS GOING TO BE BACK IN THE OTHER PROPERTIES? WHAT IS GOING TO BE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE FALLS AND THIS BUILDING? WHAT'S GOING TO BE THE VISIBILITY BETWEEN THE FALLS AND THIS BUILDING, AND NOW WE HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE SOUTH AND WEST SIDE.

I'M REALLY TAKEN ABACK BY THAT BECAUSE IF THIS WAS ALWAYS THE ISSUE, THAT IT WAS ALWAYS CONTEMPLATED THIS WAS A COMP PLAN AMENDMENT WITH A NEW DISTRICTING, WITH A SPECIAL EXCEPTION, THEN MULTIPLE VARIANCES, AND I DON'T RECALL , AND I'VE GONE BACK AND LOOKED AT THE MEETING MINUTES AND AUDIO, BUT I DON'T RECALL THAT EVER BEING ADDRESSED PREVIOUSLY BY THE APPLICANT OR OTHERWISE, SO THAT IS NEW.

>> IF I CAN ADD THE TABLE THAT'S BEEN DISCUSSED IN THE LANDSCAPE PORTION OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, IT DOES BREAK OUT, BASICALLY YOUR USE ON THE LEFT SIDE, AND YOUR BUDDING USE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TABLE, THEN YOU PLAY

[01:25:04]

>> WITH THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION , WHAT SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS DID WE OFFER THIS PARTICULAR APPLICANT , AS FAR AS SETBACKS FOR THE BUILDINGS , THINGS OF THAT NATURE? WHY, VICE MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS ' POINT, HAD WE KNOWN ABOUT THIS EARLIER , WOULD THIS BE SOMETHING WE WOULD HAVE PUT INTO THE SPECIAL

EXCEPTION? THE LANGUAGE? >> IS IN THE WHOLE PROJECT THE

SPECIAL EXCEPTION? >> HAD WE KNOWN THAT, WE WOULD

HAVE PUT THAT IN -- >> IN THE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT.

>> I GUESS MY QUESTION IS HAD WE KNOWN ABOUT THIS BEFORE, WE WOULD HAVE LIKELY PUT THAT INTO THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION, SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT IS WHAT IS ENTAILED? WHAT IS NOT COMMON? WHAT IS NOT OUR NORMAL CODE .

>> JUST TO WALK AFTER THE APPLICATIONS, BECAUSE THERE MIGHT BE SOME CONFUSION . BECAUSE OF OUR ADOPTED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND OUR ADOPTED ZONING CODE, THIS HAD TO BE -- TO PUT COMMERCIAL USE ON THIS PROPERTY AND TO PUT IT ON OUR MAP EVEN, IT HAD TO HAVE SOME CITY DESIGNATION.

RIGHT NOW IT HAS PALM BEACH COUNTY ARE-10. IT HAD TO HAVE SOME SORT OF CITY DESIGNATION. AFTER ANNEXATION, IF YOU REMEMBER IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER , IT HAD TO HAVE A CITY DESIGNATION. THIS HAD TO HAPPEN. IT HAD TO HAVE A LAND USE PLAN TO ACCOMMODATE THEIR USE OF SELF STORAGE. IT HAD TO OF COMMERCIAL . THAT IS THE DESIGNATED SHIN THAT GOES HAND-IN-HAND WITH THE TEXT AMENDMENT THAT WOULD ALLOW A SELF STORAGE USE, SO IT HAD TO HAVE A MAP AMENDMENT, AND BECAUSE IT HAD NOT BEEN CONTEMPLATED, IT WENT ALONG WITH THAT. THAT WASN'T A CHOICE BY THE APPLICANT . THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT I WAS CITY REGULATIONS, IT HAD TO HAPPEN.

SAME WITH REZONING. WHEN YOU CONTEMPLATED IN 2023, ADDING SELF STORAGE, IT'S BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LEVEL. NOW WE GO TO THE ZONING THAT IMPLEMENTS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. A CHOICE WAS MADE TO CREATE A NEW DISTANCE, AND THAT IS THE S-1 DISTRICT. YOU COULD HAVE ADDED IT TO AN S-1 DISTRICT, BUT THERE'S A CHOICE TO MAKE IT A NEW DISTRICT, S-1, AND STAFF CONTEMPLATED, CREATING THIS NEW DISTRICT, GIVING THE ONLY PRIMITIVE USE AS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION USE. THIS IS TO PROTECT THE CITY BECAUSE THIS GIVES YOU THE MOST DISCRETION WHEN YOU ARE REVIEWING THESE APPLICATIONS . IT IS NOT A BY RIGHT USE. TYPICALLY YOU PYRITE USES THAT DON'T HAVE TO MEET THE ADDITIONAL SCRUTINY OF A SPECIAL EXCEPTION, OR A PROJECT COMES IN AT CONDITIONAL USE, AND IT IS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION. THOSE CRITERIA ARE HERE , AND THESE ARE COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING USES , THE TRAFFIC, THE UTILITIES. THERE'S THIS WHOLE OTHER LEVEL OF SCRUTINY THAT APPLIED, SO WHEN YOU ARE CONTEMPLATING ADDING THIS USE, THE COMBINATION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THAT WAS ADDRESSED BY ADDING IT AS PERMITTED USE IN THE CATEGORY . YOU CREATED THE NEW DISTRICT, AND HE ADDED IT AS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION, WHICH GAVE YOU THIS EXTRA SCRUTINY . THE CONCEPT OF THE VARIANCE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TUCKED INTO THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION CRITERIA. THESE ARE STANDARD FOR ALL APPLICATIONS . THE ONLY THING THAT COULD HAVE CHANGED THAT WOULD HAVE MAYBE MITIGATED THIS WAS AMENDING THE LANDSCAPE CODE AND ADDING A NEW LINE ITEM THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN MAYBE A LITTLE ODD BECAUSE IT WAS NOT SO GENERIC , LIKE OUR CURRENT TABLE HAS VERY GENERIC USES, COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL.

IT DOESN'T GET SPECIFIC TO ZONING LEVEL DETAILS OF THE SELF STORAGE PARCEL WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT TABLE. IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S A DISCUSSION WITH STAFF AND THE APPLICANT. IT WAS ACKNOWLEDGED PERHAPS DOWN THE LINE WHEN THIS SITE PLAN WAS TO BE CRAFTED , MAYBE THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO SITE PLAN RIGHT AT THE TIME YOU ARE CONTEMPLATING THE ORIGINAL AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING, CREATING THE NEW DISTRICT, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE WAS AN IDEA THAT 50 FEET IS PRETTY TOUGH, ESPECIALLY ON THREE SIDES . THEY SOUNDED LIKE THEY PREFER TO WORK HAND IN HAND WITH THE APPLICANT TO CREATE MAYBE SOME OF THESE OTHER MITIGATING DESIGN FACTORS AND INCORPORATE THOSE INTO THE

[01:30:01]

>> GOES BECAME GLARING SHORTLY AFTER YOU BECAME INVOLVED WITH THE PROJECT? IS THAT RIGHT , WHAT MR. MEALY SAID? THAT'S WHEN YOU GOT INVOLVED, AND IT BECAME APPARENT THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MEET THE PUFFERS ON ALL SIDES?

>> YOU HAD BEEN WORKING ON THE VARIANCE APPLICATION WITH THE APPLICANT TODAY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE LANDSCAPE TEAM TO MAKE SURE THAT IS THERE IS AS MUCH OF THAT OFFSET TO THE DESIGN PROCESS AS POSSIBLE. WE ONLY CAME INTO RIGHT THE STAFF REPORT AND BASICALLY GIVE YOU THE PRESENTATION, BUT A LOT OF THIS HAD GONE TO DRC, NUMEROUS ROUNDS OF DRC. IT HAD BEEN DISCUSSED THROUGHOUT THE DESIGN PROCESS.

>> MY COMMENTS ARE NOT INDICATIVE OF YOUR INVOLVEMENT, KAITLYN, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU CAME IN LATE. FOR ME AS A COMMISSIONER , THIS WAS RELATIVELY NEW , THAT THE VARIANCES WERE GOING TO BE REQUIRED. THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT WAS BROUGHT ON , AND THAT THE INDICTMENT OF YOU.

I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW. >> I GUESS WHAT WE NEED TO TRY TO IRON OUT IS, YOU KNOW, WHAT OUR NEXT -- WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS. FOR ME, A BUFFER IS A TERM THAT WE USE . OBVIOUSLY, WE HAVE CERTAIN STANDARDS FOR PARTICULAR REASONS, BUT THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THOSE BUFFERS IS TO MITIGATE WHETHER IT SOUNDS, WHICH I DON'T KNOW IF SELF STORAGE WILL HAVE MUCH ISSUE WITH SOUNDS, WHAT THE RESIDENTS SEE FROM VISIBILITY.

THE APPLICANT HAS GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND IN MAKING SURE THIS LOOKS LIKE A PARKLAND BUILDING, AND STAFF IS TELLING ME THAT THE ADDITIONAL BUFFERS WOULD OFFSET , OR THE ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING WOULD OFFSET ANY VISIBILITY CONCERNS ON THE BUFFERS. IF YOU WANT TO HOLD TRUE TO THE 50 FEET , WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK OR -- OBVIOUSLY, WE HAVE TO VOTE, BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO SEE THE FEASIBILITY FROM THE APPLICANT TO SEE ABOUT CHANGING THAT . BASED ON WHAT I SEE ON A SITE PLAN, I'M NOT SEEING WHERE HE'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO COME

UP WITH THOSE DIMENSIONS. >> LISTEN, I WILL SAY TWO THINGS, THEN WE CAN MOVE FORWARD. ONE IS -- HOW DO I ARTICULATE THIS PROPERLY? I FEEL THE OUTSET OF THIS PROCESS , IF THESE ISSUES EXISTED FROM DAY ONE , IF THESE ISSUES EXISTED FROM DAY ONE, I WAS NOT GIVEN ALL THE INFORMATION WHEN WE STARTED HAVING THIS DIALOGUE. AND WE CAN'T GO BACK IN TIME. BUT I CAN TELL YOU , WE'RE JUMPING THROUGH FIVE HOOPS, AND YOU STILL CAN'T MEET ALL OUR STATED CRITERIA? THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT DIALOGUE IN JUNE. LET'S PUT THAT ASIDE FOR NOW. I GUESS, MR. MEALY, YOU ARE SAYING THE APPLICANT CAN'T COME INTO APPLIANCE COMPLIANCE WITH THE OTHER THREE BUFFERS. OR MAYBE IT DOESN'T WANT TO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE STATUS OF THAT IS, BUT IF THAT IS THE CASE, WE MOVE FORWARD, TAKE OUR VOTE, GO FROM THERE. NOT KNOWING THE HISTORY THESE VARIANCES POTENTIALLY WERE COMING DOWN THE PIKE FROM DAY ONE THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ARTICULATED THAT WAY . I THREW THAT OUT IN THE MEETING, HOPING THE APPLICANT WOULD TRY TO REVISIT THESE ISSUES AND COME UP WITH CREATIVE WAYS TO SOLVE THEM. IF THAT'S UNTENABLE OR NOT FEASIBLE, WE KNOW WHERE WE ARE .

>> AND I'M NOT DISAGREEING WITH WHAT YOU WERE SAYING AT ALL, BUT THE TO THE DEFENSE OF THE APPLICANT, I DO BELIEVE IN BUILDING A TALLER WALL, BUILDING A TALLER TREE .

OBVIOUSLY, WE COULD ASK FOR MORE AND WANT MORE, BUT HE'S OBVIOUSLY TAKEN THAT INTO -- I'M JUST GIVING BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT HE HAS TAKEN THAT INTO ACCOUNT.

>> I AGREE WITH THAT. THE APPLICANT HAD DONE A LOT .

GOING BACK, I'M LOOKING AT THE MINUTES. GOING BACK TO JUNE, WE CHANGED OUR FLOOR AREA RATIO. WE CHANGED THE NUMBER OF STORIES OF BUILDINGS. WE CHANGED SO MANY THINGS, GIVING

[01:35:01]

>> TO YOUR POINT, AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO GET AT WITH KAITLYN BEFORE . HOW COME -- WHO PUT US IN THIS

POSITION? WAS IT STAFF? >> WHAT WE JUST HEARD IS THIS HAD ALREADY BEEN DISCUSSED WITH GAIL. THEY ALREADY WORKED WITH

THE VARIANCE APPLICATION. >> OBVIOUSLY, IT SOUNDS TO ME THAT THERE WAS -- GAIL COULD'VE DONE A BETTER JOB .

>> I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE CASE BECAUSE WE WANT TO DISCUSS WHETHER OR NOT TO VOTE ON A VARIANCE UNTIL THIS POINT,

UNTIL IT COMES BEFORE US. >> IF WE MADE THOSE ADJUSTMENTS AT THE TIME, COULD WE HAVE PUT THE BUFFERS ON THE FLOOR AT THAT TIME ? WE NEED THESE BUFFERS TOO.

>> I DISAGREE BECAUSE THE BERM IS ON THE APPLICANT TO DECIDE HOW THEY WANT TO SITUATE HERE WE CAN'T DICTATE IT FOR THEM.

THEY WERE AWARE THERE WAS GOING TO BE A NEED FOR A VARIANCE APPLICATION. THIS IS WHEN GAIL WAS STILL HERE . IT'S NOT A MATTER OF ALL OF A SUDDEN, NOW, IT SPRUNG ON THEM AND SAID I WISH WE HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS. THEY CONTINUE TO MAKE THE DECISION TO GO FORWARD WITH THAT SITE PLAN

>> MR. MAYOR, CAN I SAY SOMETHING? I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS.

>> I BELIEVE YOU. >> BECAUSE HAD I KNOWN , WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE IT ADDED A LINE TO THE TABLE . EVEN THOUGH THIS MIGHT BE THE ONLY TIME YOU EVER DO IT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE DOING THIS NOW , AND HAD I KNOWN, THIS IS WHAT WE

WOULD'VE DONE. >> MY POINT IS I DON'T KNOW

WHO DROPPED THE BALL . >> WITH OUR DECISIONS WOULD HAVE BEEN FULLY INFORMED AT THE TIME WE MADE THEM ANDCOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT . MAYBE NOT, MAYBE YES.

>> 100%. MAYBE AT THAT TIME, WE WILL DO 16 OR 18. WILL GAK 225 , WHATEVER IT IS. THAT IS MY POINT . I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. IT IS THE APPLICANT'S RESPONSIBILITY. IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT ALREADY, HAD WE ALL BEEN, YOU KNOW, BETTER INFORMED , WE COULD HAVE ADDED SOMETHING IN AT THAT TIME. NOW, WE'RE

PLAYING CATCH-UP . >> I BELIEVE WE CAN ACCOMMODATE THROUGH AN EASEMENT ON THE SOUTH SIDE, AS WAS DESCRIBED EARLIER . I DON'T HAVE THE SAME ABILITY ON THE EAST AND WEST. WHAT I COULD DO, IF THEY COULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE, IS PLANT EVEN TALLER MATERIAL THAN WHAT WE HAVE SHOWN, IF THAT

WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE . >> PERSONALLY, MY CONCERN ISN'T SO MUCH WITH THE BUFFER. OBVIOUSLY, WITH THE TREES. YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A LOT, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT IS A BIG CONCERN WITH THE SURROUNDING RESIDENCE. MY CONCERN IS MORE ABOUT UPHOLDING OUR CODE AND ENFORCING IT IN A WAY THAT IS FAIR . LIKE YOU SAID, I GET IT. EVERYONE HAS TO BE INDIVIDUALLY ASSESSED, DETERMINED IN THEIR OWN CASE-BY-CASE BASIS, BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN FOR SOME CASES, WE'RE ALLOWED TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY AND SAY JUST BECAUSE YOU DID NOT MEET THE CRITERIA, YOU DID DO SOMETHING ELSE THAT'S GOING TO ALLOW US TO MAKE A DECISION. THAT'S PERSONALLY MY CONCERN HERE. A LOT HAVE DONE WELL, BUT THE CITY HAS DONE A LOT TO ENABLE THE APPLICANT TO GET TO THIS POINT. I PERSONALLY DON'T LIKE THE IDEA BECAUSE I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO BE COMING UP WITH OTHER DECISIONS, AND WE'VE ALREADY APPLIED IT IN THE PAST AND DENIED VARIANCES ON A SIMILAR VEIN. I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW WE DO THAT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE WITHOUT CREATING AN

ARBITRARY OR INEQUITABLE -- >> I'M NOT DISAGREEING WITH WHAT YOU WERE SAYING AT ALL. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE I FEEL IN THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION IS BECAUSE THIS IS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION. WE HAVE CREATED THIS AREA, SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS -- WHY IT SHOULD STILL FIT IN WITH WHAT WE HAVE CREATED.

>> AGAIN, TO DENNIS' POINT , IF HE HAD KNOWN AND IF WE WERE IN THERE, AND GAIL OR WHOEVER NUMBER WE WOULD HAVE PUT THOSE -- THAT IN AND WOULD BE ASKING FOR A VARIANCE BECAUSE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AT THAT TIME. THAT'S WHERE IT SHOULD BE. THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO ASK KAITLYN.

>> WHETHER IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE OR NOT, IT COULD HAVE AFFECTED THE ENTIRE PROCESS IF WE HAD BEEN HERE TODAY. I VIEW IT TO VICE MAYOR ISROW'S POINT AS MORE EGREGIOUS BECAUSE THIS IS A NEW DISTRICT CREATED AND A SPECIAL EXCEPTION, WHICH MEANS THERE IS NO MATTER OF RIGHT, IT'S TOTALLY WITHIN OUR DISCRETION, TOTALLY JUDGED ON THE MERITS OF THE PROJECT, AND WHEN YOU HAVE ALL THOSE FACTORS COUPLED IN WITH THE VARIANCE

[01:40:02]

WE'RE HERE TODAY. >> I'M CERTAINLY NOT HAPPY

EITHER. >> I'M NOT HAPPY EITHER BECAUSE IF THE APPLICANT KNEW THAT THIS WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE, AND WE'VE GOT A LONG --

>> MAYBE IT WOULD'VE WENT SOMEWHERE ELSE.

>> AND I SURE WE WOULD HAVE VISITED THE PLAN EARLIER.

>> OR MAYBE NOT COME INTO PARKLAND. MAYBE HE WOULD'VE STAYED IN UNINCORPORATED BROWARD, AND HE WOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING NONE OF US WOULD'VE WANTED. YOU KNOW , THE APPLICANT CAME INTO PARKLAND WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE SITE PLAN HE HAD SUBMITTED , HE WAS GOING TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL PROJECT . HE WENT FROM UNINCORPORATED BROWARD , AND I'M QUITE CERTAIN ALL THE CODES ARE EXTREMELY LIBERAL -- NOT IN THAT SENSE -- BUT, YOU KNOW, HE CAME INTO PARKLAND, UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE'RE GOING TO REQUIRE AND WHAT WE NEED . WE'RE IN A TOUGH SITUATION FOR SURE , BUT I AM COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT THE APPLICANT IS SHOWING . WE JUST GOT TO -- I'M LOOKING AT IT AS A PROJECT AS A WHOLE , AND CONSIDERING THE ARCHITECTURE, CONSIDERING THE DEPTH AND BREADTH OF THE LANDSCAPING , AND WITH THE FACT THEY WOULD POTENTIALLY ADD, YOU KNOW, MAYBE TALLER, ADDITIONAL, WHAT

HAVE YOU -- GO AHEAD. >> MY NAME IS MITCH FELDMAN .

I'M THE OWNER OF THE LAND, THE DEVELOPER. I USUALLY DON'T GET UP AND SPEAK LIKE THIS, BUT I FIGURE IT'S TIME FOR ME TO INTERJECT. I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO THE LEGALITY AND TIMING. I PROBABLY UNDERSTAND MORE ABOUT THE TIMING AND WHAT HAPPENS BY SPEAKING WITH MY CIVIL ENGINEER AND WITH DENNIS , THEN PROBABLY EVERYBODY. I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO IT BECAUSE THERE IS PROBABLY CONVERSATIONS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN MADE WITH THE CIVIL ENGINEER , THAT WERE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT DENNIS HEARD . THERE'S JUST COMMUNICATION, AND I GUESS THAT CAN HAPPEN. WHAT I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU IS WE CONSIDERED THIS PROJECT OUR TROPHY SELF STORAGE PROPERTY , SO IN 25 YEARS OF DEVELOPING SELF STORAGE , THIS WILL BE MY NICEST PROJECT . THIS WILL BE MY MOST EXPENSIVE BUILD. THIS WILL BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE LANDSCAPE OH EVER PUT ON A STORAGE PROJECT I THINK IN HISTORY. YOU KNOW, WE ALREADY GOT A QUOTE . WHEN I SOUGHT THE AMOUNT OF LANDSCAPING THAT WAS REQUIRED, I MEAN THAT PICKED ME OFF THE FLOOR AND RESUSCITATED ME. THIS IS AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF LANDSCAPE THAT THEY HAVE ASKED US, THAT WE AGREED TO, TO BUILD THE CONCRETE , TWO FOOT EXTRA WALL, TO BE IN AGREEMENT WITH OUR NEIGHBORS ABOUT COMPLETING THE BERM . THEY ARE PUTTING IT ON ME TO PAY FOR IT. THERE IS A LOT GOING IN HERE , ASIDE FROM THE UNBELIEVABLE AESTHETICS TO THIS BUILDING.

THIS WILL BE A PROJECT THAT WE'LL BE PROUD OF, THAT YOU'LL BE PROUD OF, AND IN MY MIND, ALL THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE ON HERE AND THE COMMUNICATION THAT WE HAVE HAD WITH THE STAFF FROM DAY ONE AND THE MEETINGS THAT WE HAD ARE EXACTLY HOW A DEVELOPMENT IS SUPPOSED TO BE HANDLED , WHERE YOU HAVE THE DEVELOPER COME INTO THE CITY WITH AN EYE ON A PROJECT AND MEET WITH STAFF . WHETHER THE CONVERSATIONS WENT THE RIGHT WAY, WHETHER EVERYTHING FELT IN SHAPE THE WAY THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW, MAYBE, MAYBE NOT, BUT THE CONVERSATIONS IN THE WAY A DEVELOPER IS SUPPOSED TO BEHAVE IN THE WAY THAT THE CITY AND STAFF HAVE BEHAVED BACK TOWARDS THE DEVELOPER, AND THE WAY THAT THE NEIGHBORS ARE SUPPOSED TO BEHAVE . WHEN THEY CAME HERE IN THE BEGINNING AND ASKED QUESTIONS , AND WE ANSWERED THEM AND GAVE THEM OUR CARDS AND WE HAD MEETINGS , AND I HAD MEETINGS WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE OVER THERE , CONVERSATIONS WITH THEIR CIVIL ENGINEER , AND THE WAY THAT WE AND ALL OF US AND YOU AT THE DAIS HAVE COOPERATED ALTOGETHER IS ACTUALLY AN INCREDIBLE FEAT THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVER. IT IS RARE THAT HAPPENS , SO, BELIEVE ME. I'M SITTING HERE, SHAKING IN MY SHOES BECAUSE WE HAVE SPENT TWO YEARS ON THIS . WE BOUGHT A PROPERTY THAT WAS NOT ENTITLED. WE HAVE BEEN CARING FOR THE PROPERTY. WE ARE DEDICATING HILLSBORO. WE HAVE DONE EVERYTHING. I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING I THOUGHT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO. I THOUGHT THIS

[01:45:01]

>> IS THERE ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC? I SEE SOMEONE. PER GOT A COUPLE QUESTIONS. THE VARIANCE AND ISSUES, THE RED

CIRCLED AREA IN THE NOTICE? >> SIR, YOU HAVE TO STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

>> ALAN BRADY, 8319, WEST BLUE SPRINGS DRIVE, PARKLAND, FLORIDA, 33067. I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU'RE HOLDING UP THERE.

>> THE NOTICE WE HAD FOR TONIGHT'S HEARING. IT HAS AN AREA THAT IS CIRCLED, LIKE, FOUR ACRES. HOW COME THE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT THE TWO PEOPLE SHOW TONIGHT DON'T DEPICT VILLAS THAT ARE IN THAT AREA?

>> KAITLYN? >> I'M NOT QUITE SURE I UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION IN REGARDS TO THE PICTURES .

>> YOU HAVE A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE VILLAS FROM THE FALLS. IS THIS MY PRESENTATION? I THINK WE HAVE SOME PICTURES. THANK YOU.

PHOTOGRAPHS. THERE IS THE VILLAS.

>> RIGHT. >> THAT'S THE ONLY PHOTOGRAPH THAT SHOWED THE VILLAS, WHICH IS THE PROPERTY THAT IS BUTTING, I GUESS, WHAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR , VARIANCE, AND NOTHING IN THAT PHOTOGRAPH DEPICTS THE AREA WHERE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR THE VARIANCE. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY WOULD DO THAT, BUT THAT IS THE CASE . THAT'S MY PROPERTY, BY THE WAY, THAT IS IN THE PHOTOGRAPH, THAT I JUST TESTIFY TO A MOMENT AGO. SO THERE IS NO EIGHT-FOOT WHILE THEY ARE BUILDING THERE.

I MEAN, THAT'S -- THAT'S THE ONLY PICTURE YOU SHOWED IN YOUR DEMONSTRATION . AT THE FAR END, LOOKING OUT TOWARDS THE GATE ? I CAN SHOW A PICTURE OF SOMETHING THAT'S NOT THERE.

>> GO BACK TO THAT SLIDE. >> THERE IS NO WALL THERE YET.

>> IT'S NOT ON THE PROPERTY. THEY ARE LOOKING FOR VARIANCE.

>> THE TRIANGLE AT THE BOTTOM SHOWS RIGHT THERE, WHERE HIS PROPERTY IS IT IF YOU SAYING HE'S THE LAST ONE THERE AND THAT'S WHERE YOU TOOK THE PHOTOGRAPH -- BUT THERE ISN'T

A WALL THERE. >> YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A WALL THERE BECAUSE THE PROPERTY YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IS A TOP, WELL ABOVE THAT. IT IS WHERE IT'S OUTLINED IN THE MIDDLE

THINK. >> 12 VILLAS AWAY. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY WOULD USE THAT PHOTOGRAPH, BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE NO WALL THERE. FORGET HE IS SHOWING IT FOR

PERSPECTIVE PURPOSES. >> I'M TRYING TO SHOW WHAT'S ALREADY THERE NOW. THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THAT.

>> WE DEMONSTRATE THE FOLIAGE THERE THAT'S VERY IMPRESSIVE.

YOU DON'T HAVE A MATURE TREE LIKE THAT AT THE NORTH END.

THAT'S WHY YOU TOOK THE PICTURE.

>> I'VE GOT MORE PICTURES. WE'RE AND THAT'S ALL OF THESE ARE RIGHT NEXT TO THE TOWNHOME OR THE VILLA ON THE

RIGHT . >> IF YOU LOOK AT THE TRIANGLE ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN, THAT IS SHOWING YOU WHERE THE CAMERA ANGLE IS TAKEN , SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT DIRECTLY WHERE THAT WALL IS GOING TO BE.

>> I LIVE THERE. I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE PERSPECTIVE IS. I APPRECIATE THE ASSISTANCE, BUT THE POINT IS FOR THEM TO SUGGEST THAT THE PEOPLE OF FALLS, THE VILLAS, ARE ACCEPTING THIS, I THINK , LIKE I DID, THE EIGHT FOOT WALL WAS

[01:50:07]

>> WE ONLY COVERED THREE OF THOSE. BECAUSE THEY ARE ONLY GOING TO PUT A WALL AROUND THEIR PROPERTY . PER GOT ALL OF

IT IS THEIR PROPERTY. >> RIGHT NOW, THE ONLY THING THEY ARE TRYING TO GET VARIANCE ON IS THIS SPECIFIC PROPERTY.

>> THEY'RE TRYING TO INCH FORWARD AND GET A COUPLE HERE, A COUPLE THERE, AND NEXT TIME AROUND, THEY'LL DO WHATEVER THEY WANT ON THIS PROPERTY AS WELL, BUT THERE IS NO UNIFORMITY, SO THEY WILL HAVE A WALL. WHO DO THEY TALK TO IN THE FALL THAT THEY TOLD THEM THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA, THAT IT MAKES SENSE, THAT WE AGREE WITH AS WAS HEARD IN THE HEARING TONIGHT. I THOUGHT THERE WAS GOING TO BE UNIFORMITY. I THOUGHT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A WALL ALONG THE ENTIRE EASTERN SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. IT'S NOT EVEN A THIRD OF THE WAY THERE.

ONE OF THE FIVE UNIT VILLA PROPERTIES THERE.

>> WHAT THEY ARE COMING FOR NOW IS THE PARCEL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. THERE WAS NEVER ATTENTION OR ASSUMPTION THAT THEY WOULD BUILD A WALL THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE PROPERTY.

TENANTS OR THE PROPERTY OWNERS WERE IN AGREEMENT, AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE CASE, AND I WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLEAR

. >> DENNIS, I HAVE A QUESTION, THOUGH. HE SAID PART OF THE ELEVATED BERM IS GOING TO BE ON THE NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY, THE RESIDENTS' PROPERTY, REQUIRING GOING ON THE PROPERTY TO ELEVATE IT ?

>> I'M GOING TO FIND A SLIDE SO I CAN GET TO IT AND SHOW

IT. >> I UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT. MY QUESTION IS WHO IS GIVING THAT APPROVAL?

>> THIS SHOWS HOW THE BERM IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK. NOW, KEEP IN MIND, IF YOU WENT BACK TOTHE FALLS PLAN, BEFORE WE WERE EVEN HERE, IT WAS AND THAT'S WHAT THE STAFF HAD ASKED THE FALLS TO DO IS WHEN WE CAME IN ON THE WESTSIDE, TO CREATE ONE BERM LIKE THIS . OBVIOUSLY, THEY COULDN'T DO IT BECAUSE OUR SIDE WASN'T READY TO GO YET . THEY DID AS MUCH OF THEIR BERM AS THEY COULD DO, AND THEN THEY STOPPED, KNOWING WHEN WE CAME IN, WE WOULD FINISH OFF THE TOP. REMEMBER, I MENTIONED --

>> IS THE HOA GOING TO BE THE ONE GIVING THE APPROVAL?

>> WHAT HAPPENED WAS KAITLYN HAD SAID AT THE P AND Z MEETING THAT THEY COMMIT THEIR APPLICATION TO ALLOW US TO DO THIS, WHICH TEY HAVE NOW DONE, SO WE MET WITH THEM AND THEIR ENGINEERS, AND THEY SUBMITTED IT, AND IT IS THERE. JUST ONE COMMENT. THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF OUR PROPERTY IS RESIDENTIAL AT A LOWER DENSITY THAN THE VILLAS NEXT TO US AND WHEN THAT RESIDENTIAL COMES IN FOR A SITE PLAN APPROVAL, YOU'LL DETERMINE WHAT THEY NEED. I WILL TELL YOU IN YOUR CODE YOU DON'T NORMALLY REQUIRE A WALL BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL AND RESIDENTIAL . YOU REQUIRE IT BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL AND NONRESIDENTIAL , JUST LIKE YOU HAVE NO BUFFER REQUIREMENT BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL AND RESIDENTIAL , IF THEY ARE THE SAME KIND AND WHEN THAT PROPERTY COMES IN, IT WILL BE A SITE PLAN . WE HAVE TO ZONE IT, LAND USE IT. YOU'LL HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO SAY HOW YOU WANT US TO FINISH THE EASTERN BOUNDARY OF THAT RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> ANYONE ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC? IT'S OKAY. DENNIS, LET ME MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND . IT'S CLEAR YOU'RE NOT GOING TO REDUCE THE FOOTPRINT TONIGHT.

>> I DON'T THINK WE CAN GET >> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IS CLEAR. SECONDARILY, AND MY UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO PUT IN MORE VEGETATION AND TALLER TREES IN THAT AREA SO THAT IT ACTS AS ADDITIONAL BUFFERING FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT , NOTWITHSTANDING THE FACT -- AND LET ME JUST SAY I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU SAY . I DON'T THINK WE HAD A DEVELOPER COME INTO THE CITY LIKE YOU HAVE AS A PARTNER TO THE CITY AND PUTTING A PROJECT TOGETHER LIKE THIS, AND IT IS MY HOPE THAT AS WE DO OTHER DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS , THAT DEVELOPERS USE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE AS A MODEL FOR HOW DEVELOPERS SHOULD ACT WITHIN A CITY SO THAT WE'RE ALL DOING , I GUESS, BASICALLY ROLLING IN THE SAME DIRECTION, OKAY? THAT'S KIND OF HOW I FEEL YOU HAVE ACTED, AND I

[01:55:02]

CONSTRUCTION. >> WE AGREE WITH THAT . BEFORE WE GO VERTICAL ON OUR BUILDING, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY, YOU HAD TO DO THE GRADING BEFORE YOU PUT THE WALL IN AND GET EVERYTHING WHERE IT SHOULD BE AND GET YOUR ELEVATIONS SET. WE WOULD AGREE TO DO THE WALL, PERIMETER LANDSCAPING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PROCESS BEFORE WE GO VERTICAL ON THE BUILDING.

>> I HAVE TO RELY UPON MDOT I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING YOU COMMISSIONERS HAVE SAID REGARDING VARIANCES, AND I AGREE THAT IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO GET VARIANCES UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. HOWEVER, I THINK THAT IT'S INSTRUCTIVE THAT OUR OWN STAFF AND THE EXPERTS, THE ARBORISTS AND OTHER ENGINEERING EXPERTS HAVE SAID, AND OUR P AND Z HAVE SET IN A UNANIMOUS VOTE THAT THEY THINK THIS IS A GOOD PROJECT, THE WAY YOU GUYS HAVE LAID IT OUT . I AM CONCERNED ABOUT ALL THOSE THINGS, BUT I THINK THAT, GIVEN WHAT HAS GONE BY , AND GIVEN THE CONCESSIONS THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO GIVE TONIGHT, I THINK I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF MOVING IT FORWARD,

PERSONALLY. THANK YOU. >> LET'S GET CLARIFICATION ON

WHAT THOSE CONCESSIONS ARE. >> SURE. I AGREED WE WOULD PUT IN TALLER TREES, AND I THINK IT IS BOTH THE TALL TREES OR THE MID-LEVEL. IS THAT THE RIGHT NAME? WE WOULD MAKE BOTH OF THOSE TALLER . IF SOMEONE COULD TELL US HOW MUCH TALLER, THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE. I'M SURE WE COULD AGREE.

>> IS IT TALLER OR THICKER? >> INSTEAD OF TRYING TO PICK THE TREES NOW, WOULD YOU BE HAPPY WITH THE CONCESSION, COMMISSIONER CUTLER, IF THEY WORKED WITH PATTY TO HAVE A DENSER, TALLER, WHATEVER , WHATEVER THAT --

>> THERE IS TWO ISSUES. ONE ISSUE IS SOUND BUFFERING, AND

THE SECOND IS VISUAL BUFFERING. >> INSTEAD OF TRYING TO PICK THE TREES AND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, WOULD YOU BE HAPPY IF THEY CONCEDED, TONIGHT, THEY WOULD WORK WITH PATTY TO BEEF UP OR INTENSIFY THE BUFFERS ?

>> I WOULD BE FINE WITH THAT. >> I'M JUST ASKING BECAUSE WHAT I'M SAYING IS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT I DON'T NECESSARILY -- I DON'T NEED TO KNOW THE TREES. I'M AN AGREEMENT WITH COMMISSIONER CUTLER, IF WE INTENSIFY THAT TO WHATEVER DEGREE YOU DEEM APPROPRIATE , I WOULD BE -- WE'RE WORKING ON SOUND BUFFERING AND VISUAL BUFFERING FROM ALL SIDES. WE'RE TALKING NOT JUST THE IDEA THAT OFFERING IS GOING TO IMPACT THE EAST SIDE, BUT ALSO THE FACT THAT THERE ARE GOING TO BE RESIDENCES ON THE OTHER TWO ANGLES . WE NEED TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT AS WELL.

>> YES, SIR, AND WHEN KAITLYN STARTED HER PRESENTATION , SHE ALSO INCLUDED THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD'S ONE OF THEIR COMMENTS OF APPROVAL WAS AFTER EVERYTHING WAS INSTALLED AND BEFORE I SAY YES, IT'S GOOD TO GO, IF THERE ARE ANY GAPS AND WE SEE ANY OPENINGS THERE, PART OF THE P AND Z APPROVAL WAS , BEFORE THEY GET THEIR APPROVAL, THEY WILL FILL IN

THOSE GAPS. >> IT WAS ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED, WHICH I KNOW YOU SAY HERE, BUT IT ALSO SAYS IN ONE OF THE STIPULATIONS, THERE IS NO VERTICAL LIFT UNTIL THE WALL AND LANDSCAPE BUFFER IS

INSTALLED. >> CORRECT, CORRECT. THAT IS A BUFFER, AND THAT WILL BE A BENEFIT TO EVERYBODY. THANK

YOU. >> IF THE ANSWER IS MORE FILL IN THE GAPS RATHER THAN PLANTS TALLER TREES, WE'RE OKAY WITH THAT TOO ? WHICHEVER WAY YOU WANT TO DO IT, WE'LL DO IT.

>> MAYOR, I'VE GOT A COUPLE COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS.

>> WERE YOU DONE? GO AHEAD. WHICH IS MAKING SURE KEN WAS

DONE, BUT GO AHEAD. >> I'M TALKING TO YOU FROM TALLAHASSEE, NOT PENSACOLA. IN THE TIME WE'VE HAD THIS DISCUSSION, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AND GET BACK TO TALLAHASSEE.

>> A QUESTION FOR YOU , AND YOU MAY KNOW OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD, YOU MAY NOT. YOU MAY HAVE TO PULL UP A MAP OF THE

[02:00:03]

>> YOU'LL HAVE TO GIVE ME A MINUTE. I DON'T KNOW THAT OFF

THE TOP OF MY HEAD. >> IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT IS 50 FEET. AS A BUFFER. NOR DOES IT LOOK LIKE A SETBACK. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SETBACK IS HERE, BUT IT IS QUITE LESS.

WHEN I SAY A LARGER, SIMILAR SIZED BUILDING THAT BJ'S HAS

IN THE LAKES OF PARKLAND. >> GOING FROM MEMORY, I WOULD AGREE. I WILL TAKE A LOOK IF THAT IS THE ONLY RESEARCH

QUESTION YOU HAVE FROM ME. >> CAN YOU ALSO LOOK AT PARKLAND GULF AND THE PUBLIC SHOPPING CENTER , BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO ASK THAT QUESTION, BUT I DID NOT WANT TO PUT YOU ON

THE SPOT. >> THAT, WHEN I SAY, AGAIN, THERE IS NOT A HUGE BUFFER , AND OBVIOUSLY, YOU ARE BACKING UP TO AREAS THAT ARE NOT NECESSARILY PEDESTRIAN , SO I WOULD LOOK AT THIS IS KIND OF A SIMILAR SITUATED AREA OF WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY DOING, AND AGAIN , I DON'T LIKE TO GRANT SPECIAL -- GRANT VARIANCES . YOU KNOW, WE HAD ONE AT TUTTLE'S PROPERTY WERE COMMISSIONER BRIER AND MYSELF WERE THE ONLY ONES WHO DID NOT GRANT THOSE VARIANCES, BUT ANYWAY , THAT IS QUESTION NUMBER ONE. THE OTHER THING THAT YOU MENTIONED, THE SETBACK OF THE BUILDING MEETS THE CODE,

CORRECT? >> THAT'S CORRECT.

>> SO WE'RE ONLY TALKING ABOUT THE BUFFER, NOT THE FOOTPRINT OF THE BUILDING. IF YOU MADE THE FOOTPRINT SMALLER, YOU CAN INCREASE THE BUFFER BECAUSE YOU NEED THE DRIVE FILES FOR THE FIRE SURFACE , UNLESS THERE WAS SOME WAY FOR THE FIRE TRUCK TO TURN AROUND, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER STORY.

>> THE PRIMARY -- THE PRIMARY IMPACT WOULD BE TO THE CIRCULATION, NOT TO THE BUILDING FOOTPRINT.

>> CORRECT, OKAY. SO THE OTHER QUESTION THAT I HAD, AND I HAD DISCUSSED THIS IN MY ONE-ON-ONE . WHAT WAS THE RESULT REGARDING THE WALL , THE SPREAD OF ANY FIRE, OR ANYTHING THAT MAY HAPPEN , YOU KNOW, IN THE BUILDING, THE AREA, TO PROTECT THE RESIDENTS ? DOES THE 10 FOOT WALL MAKE A DIFFERENCE? DO

MORE TREES HAMPER? >> I'M COMING UP TO INTRODUCE MIKE MOSHER, THE FIRE CAPTAIN. HE DID RESEARCH, AND HE'LL GET

YOU MORE INFORMATION ON THIS. >> OKAY.

>> IT EVENING. I SPOKE TO THE FIRE MARSHAL ABOUT THIS, AND THE BUFFER WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE IS MORE OF A ZONING ISSUE, NOT A FIRE ISSUE. THE DISTANCE IS PROPOSED BETWEEN THE STRUCTURE ITSELF IS NO SIGNIFICANCE , AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS NO CONCERNS WITH THIS PARTICULAR PART WE ARE

TALKING ABOUT. >> OKAY, THAT WORKS. MY ONLY CONCERN AT THIS POINT THAT I WOULD HAVE , AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, DENNIS AND I TURNED TO YOU ON THIS. YOU HAVE AN INCREASE IN LANDSCAPE FOLIAGE , TO CREATE AN OPAQUE BUFFER .

AS WE KNOW, THIS IS SOUTH FLORIDA. WE'RE SUSCEPTIBLE TO HURRICANES. A HURRICANE COMES THROUGH AND REMOVES ALL THE -- IT COULD BE FIVE YEARS FROM NOW, A YEAR FROM NOW, BUT REMOVES ALL THE VEGETATION THAT IS THERE . WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO ACCEPT SOME CONDITION , AND I WOULD PROPOSE A CONDITION THAT IF AN EVENT, A HURRICANE HAPPENS, THAT THE FOLIAGE -- AND AGAIN, I GUESS I WOULD TURN TO PATTY , IN ESSENCE OF A TIMEFRAME EXPECTATION, BUT AGAIN, SO RESIDENTS ARE MADE WHOLE AND NOT NECESSARILY SUSCEPTIBLE TO, YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO GET SOME LANDSCAPING BACK, AND WE'RE GOING TO PUT IT IN, SO WHATEVER IS AT A CERTAIN POINT REMAINS WHOLE, AND WHATEVER THE TIMEFRAME TO PUT IT BACK. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S CONSIDERED REASONABLE.

>> I THINK PATTY WANTS TO SPEAK FIRST. THEN I WILL ANSWER YOUR

QUESTION. >> THE ONE GOOD THING I WILL SAY ABOUT PUTTING THIS PLANT % MATERIAL, THIS SPECIES WE ARE USING, AS CLOSE TOGETHER AS WE ARE IS THE ROOTS ARE GOING TO INTERTWINE WITH EACH OTHER AS THEY GROW AND MATURE , AND I WILL GET EACH INDIVIDUAL TREE TWICE AS MUCH STRENGTH TO WITHSTAND A HURRICANE WINDS. THIS TREE IS A RESILIENT TREE.

[02:05:01]

THIS PARTICULAR TREE, IF THEY GOT SNAPPED OR WHATEVER, IF THE HURRICANE SNAPPED OFF UP TOP OF IT, IT'S VERY RESILIENT AND A QUICK GROWER. THESE TREES WILL PUT ON SIX TO 10 FOOT A YEAR. IN THE EVENT THAT THE TOP OF THE TREE RAKES OFF, WITHIN SIX MONTHS, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER FIVE FOOT BACK ON IT, AND WITHIN A YEAR'S TIME, THESE TREES ARE NATIVE. THEY GROW CRAZY IN THE EVERGLADES, AND THEY ARE VERY RESILIENT IN THEIR GENETICS TO RESIST STORMS.

>> OKAY. >> NOTWITHSTANDING WHAT WE JUST HEARD, IF WE HAVE A HURRICANE AND OUR LANDSCAPE MATERIAL IS WIPED OUT, WE WILL REPLACE IT.

>> IN WHAT TIMEFRAME? >> I DON'T KNOW.

>> WHAT WOULD YOU CONSIDER REASONABLE?

>> I WOULD JUST SAY, PERSONALLY, I WOULD SAY IT'S HARD TO GIVE -- ESPECIALLY IF IT IS A HUGE HURICANE, YOU MIGHT NOT EVEN BE ABLE TO FIND LANDSCAPING FOR X AMOUNT OF

TIME. >> I'M TALKING ABOUT A YEAR, TWO YEARS. I'M NOT TALKING SIX WEEKS. I JUST WANT SOMETHING THAT'S REASONABLE WITH AND, OBVIOUSLY, THE LAND. THE OWNER IS OBVIOUSLY GOING TO, AS HE PROFFERED TODAY , IN GOOD FAITH, TRY TO MAKE THIS WORK , BUT I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S REASONABLE SO THAT, AGAIN, WE HAD IT IN WRITING AS PART OF THE CONDITION THAT REASONABLE WOULD BE A YEAR, TWO YEARS, 10

YEARS. I DON'T KNOW. >> IT'S UP TO YOU GUYS FOR

THE COMPLETE REPLACEMENT. >> I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THE LAST TIME WE HAD A BIG HURRICANE, SOME PEOPLE HAD TO

GO UP TO GEORGIA TO FIND TREES. >> I GET IT. I CAN BRING THEM

DOWN HERE. >> AS LAWYERS, WE USUALLY SAY WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT

WORKS FOR YOU OR NOT. >> I'M OKAY WITH THAT, ONLY BECAUSE IT'S TOUGH . IF IT IS CAT 4 OR 5, WHO KNOWS IF ANYBODY'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET THERE.

>> EVERYTHING THAT'S EXISTING ON THE FALSE SIDE, IT'S ALL NATIVE. WE ARE GOING 100% NATIVE, AND IT WAS DESIGNED FOR ITS RESILIENCE. THE DISABLED, THE OAKS, THE STOPPERS, THESE ARE ALL HURRICANE RESISTANT. THIS IS WHAT GROWS OUT IN OUR WILD. IT'S VERY RESILIENT , AND LIKE DENNIS DID SAY, IF WE HAD SUCH A CATASTROPHIC EVENT , PICKING UP IS USUALLY WHAT WILL HAPPEN RIGHT AWAY , AND CLEANUP WILL HAPPEN RIGHT AWAY. REPLACEMENT, DEPENDING ON THE DEGREE OF CATASTROPHE , WERE IT TO PICK UP THE NEW MATERIAL IS GOING TO

DIFFER. >> HOPEFULLY, THIS IS A MOOT

POINT . >> AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, I'M

SURE. >> IS THAT OKAY WITH YOU,

COMMISSIONER? >> I MEAN, AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO THE SEMANTICS OF IT. I'M ONLY LOOKING AT THE FOUR OR FIVE, WHATEVER THE NUMBER VILLAS ARE THAT ARE SITTING THERE . A HURRICANE HAPPENS, IT'S CATASTROPHIC, THEN THEY GO OUT IN THEIR BACKYARD, AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT A SITUATION THAT IS A YEAR . IN SOME TIMEFRAME, AND AGAIN, IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU TAKE A YEAR, BUT SOMETHING COULD BE DONE IN SIX MONTHS. YOU DO IT . BUT AT LEAST FROM A CODE ENFORCEMENT STANDPOINT, WE HAVE SOMETHING TO ENFORCE .

>> I WOULD IMAGINE CODE ENFORCEMENT, WE WOULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO THERE . THERE IS NO SET TIME, SO WE WOULD BE ABLE, I WOULD THINK, FROM A CODE ENFORCEMENT PERSPECTIVE, IF WE DEEM IT TO BE TOO LONG, I ASSUME WE WOULD BE ABLE TO GO IN THERE AND MAKE THEM DO IT, OR AT LEAST CODE ENFORCEMENT.

>> WE DO HAVE CONDITION OF APPROVAL THAT SPEAKS TO LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE THAT'S KIND OF A CATCH ALL.

>> THAT WORKS. PERFECT . OKAY. >> COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN, I DO HAVE THE RESULTS OF THE RESEARCH QUESTION HERE. LOOKING AT LOOKS LIKES THE BJ'S PARCEL BETWEEN THE BJ'S ASIDE AND THE RESIDENTIAL TO THE NORTH , THEY'VE CONSTRUCTED ABOUT A 20 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER . AT THE TOWN CENTER SHOPPING CENTER, WHICH IS ALONG PARKSIDE DRIVE, THEY'VE , GOT

[02:10:03]

>> GOT YOU. OKAY. >> ANYBODY ELSE? COMMISSIONER BRIER, ANYTHING ELSE? ANYBODY WANT TO MAKE A MOTION?

>> CAN WE GO THROUGH EACH ONE?

>> I WANT TO POINT OUT YOU HAVE A NUMBER OF ITEMS HERE.

>> LET'S GO WITH NUMBER B, OR LETTER B. B IS NOT A NUMBER.

>> I LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 2024-001, AMENDING FUTURE LAND TO COMMERCIAL WITH THE TWO CONDITIONS KAYLYNN HAD PREVIOUS MENTIONED BY STAFF AND PNC.

>> IF I MAY, MAYOR AND COMMISSIONER, ALL THE ITEMS THAT KAYLYNN MENTIONED WERE ALREADY WRITTEN INTO THE ITEMS BEFORE YOU, SO IF YOU APPROVE THE ITEMS, THOSE ARE ALL THERE.

SOME OF THE NEW CONCESSIONS WHEN WE GET TO THE SITE PLAN ITEM, WE CAN DISCUSS, WHICH IS ITEM 90.

>> I WOULD LIKE YOU TO DO THAT. >> IN EVENT OF HURRICANE OR STORM THAT CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE LANDSCAPING IN THE PERIMETERS, THAT THE APPLICANT IS GOING TO REPLACE THE TREES WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME. ADDITIONALLY, THE APPLICANT IS GOING TO WORK WITH THE CITY'S ARBORIST TO FURTHER INSERT ENHANCED THE LANDSCAPING BY INCREASING THE HEIGHT OR INCREASING THE DENSITY OF SUCH LANDSCAPING AND AS

REVIEW, CURRENT PERIOD. >> GOOD EVENING , MAYOR, VICE MAYOR. COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS KIM BATISTA. I'M THE HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR FOR CITY OF PARKLAND. BEFORE YOU TONIGHT FOR DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION IS THE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND POTENTIAL MERIT INCREASE FOR THE CITY CLERK .

PER HER CONTRACT EACH YEAR, YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW HER PERFORMANCE, AND YOU CAN ELECT TO AWARD MERIT INCREASE SHOULD YOU CHOOSE. BASED ON DISCUSSIONS WITH EACH OF HER, THE AVERAGE RECOMMENDED INCREASE IS 3% . THE CITY CLERK ALSO IS REQUESTING A $500 ANNUAL INCREASE ON HER CAR ALLOWANCE. I AM HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS .

>> MOTION TO APPROVE? >> SECOND.

>> ANY FROM -- >> I'VE GOT A QUESTION. WAS

SHE REQUESTING 500 OR 1500? >> 500.

[02:20:02]

>> WILL. >> $500 INCREASE , RIGHT?

>> YES . I THINK THAT'S WHAT -- THAT'S NOT WHAT SHE WAS

REQUESTING . >> SHE WAS REQUESTING UP TO THE 3000, AND SHE'S CURRENTLY MAKING 2500, WHICH IS THE 500.

THAT IS MY UNDERSTANDING. >> SOMEONE CLARIFY?

>> I UNDERSTOOD IT TO BE

>> OKAY. >> YOU UNDERSTOOD IT TO BE A

$4000 TOTAL? >> YEAH.

>> THAT'S NOT WHAT WAS COMMUNICATED. NOT REALLY SURE

WHAT -- >> MAYBE WE CAN JUST DEAL WITH THE ACTUAL MERIT INCREASE, THEN DEAL WITH THE CAR SEPARATELY BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE NOT EVERYONE WAS ON THE SAME PAGE.

THAT WOULD BE LIKE MY SUGGESTION.

>> THE WAY IT WAS COMMUNICATED TO ME WAS A $500 INCREASE IN

THE CAR ALLOWANCE. >> ARE YOU OKAY WITH THE 500? YOU'RE NOT OKAY WITH IT. LOOK , I DON'T WANT TO JUST MAKE A DECISION BECAUSE THERE IS SOME SORT OF, LIKE, COMMUNICATION, MISUNDERSTANDING. I WOULD HAVE A MEANINGFUL, WE WILL DELIBERATE ANYWAY I DON'T THINK WE CAN SEPARATE THE TWO BETWEEN INCREASE OF THE SALARY VERSUS THE BENEFIT . I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT IT OR NOT , BUT I THINK IT MAKES SENSE BECAUSE OTHERWISE, I MADE A DECISION BASED ON WHAT I UNDERSTOOD THE REQUEST TO BE, NOT BASED OFF WHAT, NOW, WHAT THE INTENTION WAS, I GUESS, IS THE RIGHT WAY

TO SAY IT. >> TONIGHT'S ITEM IS A DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION, SO I THINK WE COULD DO THAT .

WE CAN VOTE ON THE MERIT INCREASE, THEN WE COULD HAVE SOME DISCUSSION, IF YOU WANT, NOW OR AT A LATER DATE, MAYBE

ON THE AUTO THING. >> THE ONLY THING I WOULD THINK IT BE BETTER DISCUSSION ON MY BECAUSE TO ME, THE DISCUSSION IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE SOME PLAY INTO WHAT IS THE STANDARD EITHER IN THE COMMUNITY OF OTHER MUNICIPALITIES AND WITHIN OUR OWN ORGANIZATION. I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO MUCH OF THE INNER WORKINGS AND DETAILS OF PEOPLE'S BENEFITS

AND SALARIES ON THE RECORD. >> WE CAN DEFER ANY KIND OF ACTION ON THE AUTO THING TO ANOTHER DATE AND HAVE AN ACTION

ITEM ON THE MERIT. >> WE CAN ALWAYS MAKE WHATEVER DECISION WE MAKE LATER RETROACTIVE.

>> CORRECT, OKAY. SO WE'LL DO THE MERIT .

>> I WILL AMEND MY MOTION TO WITHDRAW MY MOTION TO MAKE A NEW MOTION TO APPROVE A MERIT INCREASE OF 3%.

>> SECOND. >> ANY WORD FROM THE PUBLIC? SEEING THERE IS NONE, WE HAVE A BUDGET APPROVED BY COMMISSIONER BRIER AND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CUTLER. ROLL CALL.

>> COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN? >> SO, JUST BEFORE I VOTE OR, I CAN VOTE, THEN I'D LIKE TO MAKE A SUBSEQUENT MOTION TO ADDRESS THE CAR ALLOWANCE AT OUR NEXT MEETING . I THINK THAT

GIVES US ENOUGH TIME. >> I WILL APPROVE THE 3% .
