THANK YOU. IT'S BEEN ABOUT THREE WEEKS SINCE THE LAST COMMISSION MEETING AND FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO CONGRATULATE THE WINNERS OF THE LEAGUE OF CITIES SCHOLARSHIP GOVERNMENT STUDIES, I GO TO THE MEETING WHERE THEY HAVE THE SCHOLARSHIPS OUT, I WAS ABLE TO LISTEN TO THESE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS SPEAK AND WHEN I TOOK OUT OF THAT WAS THE NEXT GENERATION IS GOING TO JUST FIND, THEY WERE SO IMPRESSIVE THESE KIDS AND I LOOK BACK AT MYSELF AND THEIR SITUATION AND TIME AND THEY'RE LIGHT YEARS OF ANYTHING I EVER IMAGINED.

IT'S INCREDIBLE TO SEE THE YOUTH KILLING IT SO CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE WINNERS, I ENJOYED STOPPING BY THE BAGELS FOR COFFEE WITH A COP, IT WAS GREAT THAT ARE SWORN TO PROTECT HER AT THIS -- PROTECT AT THIS MOMENT. IT'S ONE OF THE BENEFICIAL THINGS THAT OUR FAMILY CAN DO IS BE OUT THERE AND MEETING WITH PEOPLE AND GETTINGTO KNOW THEM AND GETTING TO KNOW YOU.

I APPRECIATE THAT SO THANK YOU. I WANT TO CONGRATULATE NEXT YEAR SPACEX AND THE DEVELOPER OF THE COMPANIES THAT HAVE TO GO TO THE RIBBON CUTTINGS, THAT'S A TREMENDOUS LOOKING BUILDING, I HAVE NOTICED SINCE THAT BUILDING HAS GONE UP, AS I DRIVE AROUND SOUTH FLORIDA I. NOTICE STORES FACILITIES AND WHAT THEY APPEAR LIKE AND THIS HAS TO BE THE MOST BEAUTIFULLY PUT TOGETHER BUILDING OF THAT KIND I'VE EVER SEEN.

IT'S INCREDIBLE HOW IT FITS IN WITH THE ESTHETIC WE ARE HOPING HERE IN PARKLAND AND I COMMEND THEM FOR A JOB WELL DONE ON THAT AND HOPEFULLY MANY YEARS OF SUCCESSFUL SERVICE TO THE COMMITTEE. I WANT TO WISH A VERY HAPPY JEWISH AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH TO ALL OF US IN THE CITY AND NATIONWIDE, I MIGHT BE A BIT BIASED BUT AS ANTISEMITISM CONTINUES TO RISE THEN WE SEE MORE AND MORE ATTACKS AGAINST PEOPLE AND PLACES BECAUSE OF THEIR JEWISH HERITAGE, IT BECOMES EVEN MORE IMPORTANT TO CELEBRATE JEWISH AMERICANS AND WHAT THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TO OUR SOCIETY SO HAPPY JEWISH AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH HERE THAT'S ALL I GOT.

WILL NOW BE REDUNDANT WITH THAT BUT HAPPY JEWISH AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH, HUGELY IMPORTANT DRIVING OVER HERE I WAS LISTENING TO SOME OTHER PEOPLE ON NPR REGARDING THE CELEBRATION OF THIS MONTH AND THE MOST IMPORTANT POINTS MADE AND THEY WERE INTERVIEWING MANY JEWISH AMERICANS WHO HAVE MADE INCREDIBLE ACHIEVEMENTS, IMPACTS, NOT JUST IN OUR COUNTRY BUT ACROSS THE WORLD.

EAT SOME PIZZA ON SATURDAY NIGHT.

I WAS NOT ABLE TO ATTEND BUT I HEARD IT WAS AMAZING, HEARD THE

[00:05:03]

I WANT TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO BE STEWARDS OF NOT JUST OUR CITY, OUR STATE, OUR COUNTRY AND OUR WORLD BECAUSE JUST LIKE OUR OWN HEALTH, IF THE HEALTH OF OUR PLANET IS NOT GOOD WE REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING. SO I THINK THAT IS WHAT I'VE GOT AND IT'S GREAT TO SEE EVERYBODY. WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE,

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU COMMISSIONER I LOVE

THE PROPS. >> COMMISSIONER ISROW.

>> CARROT TOP. HELLO, EVERYONE WELCOME TO THE CITY MEETING I WILL NOT BELABOR IT, I KNOW EVERYONE HAS TALKED ABOUT THE EVENTS, OBVIOUSLY BETWEEN COFFEE WITH A COP AND EVEN WE HAD AN UNVEILING OR RIBBON CEREMONY RIB -- RIBBON -- CUTTING CEREMONY FOR THE NEW PARK.

IF ANYONE HAS NOT YET CHECKED IT OUT HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

NICE AND SHADED A SUMMER AFTERNOON.

BUT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE STATE OF THE CITY WHICH IS COMING UP NEXT WEEK. I WANT TO INVITE EVERYBODY, PLEASE NOT ONLY JUST TO BE A PART OF THE EVENT BUT TO ACTUALLY LISTEN AND UNDERSTAND WHAT IS COMING AHEAD IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND. TRUTHFULLY IT IS A LOT AND IT'S A LOT OF GOOD STUFF BUT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE CITY BE ENGAGED WITH IT BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE DECISIONS THAT ULTIMATELY HAVE TO BE MADE, NOT NECESSARILY THAT SHORT TERM BUT THE MID TO LONG TERM AND I THINK HAVING SOMEWHAT MORE OF A FINGER ON THE PULSE OF WHERE WE ARE NOW IN YOUR CITY AND WHERE WE ARE LOOKING TO GO AND WHAT KIND OF CHALLENGES MAY LIE AHEAD IS A REALLY IMPORTANT THING BECAUSE WE ARE ALL RESIDENTS HERE AND IT TAKES A VILLAGE, WE WILL END UP HAVING TO MAKE SOME DECISIONS AS A COMMUNITY OF WHERE WE GO. I THINK IT WILL BE A VERY EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO SEE HOW MUCH WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED AND HOW FAR WE HAVE COME. AND ALSO TO GET A CHANCE TO CONGREGATE. EVERYONE COMES, YOU HAVE GREAT FOOD, WE'RE HAVING ANOTHER MUSIC AGAIN, SOME MORE HOPEFULLY.

SAXOPHONE, THERE YOU GO. ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING NICE.

>> AND METIS OR EVEN -- MAY OR MAY NOT PLAY AN INSTRUMENT, BUT I THINK IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT EVENT SO THE TIME AND PLACE IS 15TH, 18TH? THAT'S WHAT I MEANT, THE 13TH.

13TH BUT I REALLY THINK THAT IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN TO ONE BEFORE, NOW IS A REALLY GOOD TIME BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN SOMEWHAT CALLED -- CULMINATED IN THE LAST YEAR OR TWO AND IT'S A GREAT TIME TO HEAR AN UPDATE ON WHERE THINGS CURRENTLY STAND. THAT'S WHAT I GOT, THANK YOU FOR COMING AND CONGRATS TO ALL THE AWARD WINNERS, IT'S COOL SEEING EVERYONE WITH THEIR TROPHIES OUT AND LOOKING FORWARD TO

CELEBRATING. >> THAT'S ALL I GOT.

VICE MAYOR BRIER. >> THANK YOU.

THANK YOU EVERYONE IT'S GREAT TO SEE SO MANY AMAZING PEOPLE HERE, I ALWAYS LOVE IT WHEN WE'RE ABLE TO HIGHLIGHT OUR STUDENTS AND STUDENT ATHLETES SO WELCOME. AS COMMISSIONER ISROW SAID WE CAME FROM A RIBBON CUTTING, ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING THINGS IS BEING BACK HERE WHICH IS ONE OF OUR FIRST PARKS AND SEEING THE GROWTH AND RENOVATION OF THAT OLD FACILITY AND HOW AMAZING IT WORKS AND THAT PLAYGROUND WAS ANOTHER ITERATION, I WANT TO THANK THE PARKS AND REC ADVISORY MEMBERS, THE STAFF.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE DONE THE PLAYGROUND AS WELL AS PINE TRAILS IS TO MAKE IT AUTISM INCLUDED -- INCLUSIVE, AUTISM FRIENDLY WHICH WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON BEING AUTISM FRIENDLY SO D, WE JUST HAD OUR AUTISM AWARENESS EVENT WHICH I WANT TO ENCOURAGE THE RESIDENTS TO COME OUT AND SUPPORT ALYSE, THOSE WHO MAY HAVE CHILDREN OR FAMILY MEMBERS, WITH NEURODIVERSITY COME OUT AND MAKE IT AN EVENT FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY. WE WILL CONTINUE TO EMPHASIZE AND ADVERTISE THAT IN THE COMING -- AS IT COMES AROUND NEXT YEAR.

I WANT TO ECHO SOME OF THE COMMENTS.

I OFTENTIMES GET ASKED BY THE RESIDENTS WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE CITY, THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE AND HIGHLIGHT NOT ONLY WHAT WE HAVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHING BUT WHAT REMAINS UNDERWAY AND WHAT WE LOOK FORWARD TO IN THE FUTURE

[00:10:02]

WITH THAT THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. >> YOU GUYS SAID PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING SO THAT IS GREAT. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE STATE OF THE CITY. I ALSO WANT TO WISH MSD FLAG FOOTBALL, IS THAT TO NIGHT OR TO MORROW? TO MORROW. THEY'VE HAD A GREAT PLAYOFF RUN SO HOPEFULLY THEY CAN CONTINUE WITH THAT, JUST A LITTLE BIT WITH THE STATE OF THE CITY. I TOO AM EXCITED FOR THAT.

WE ARE UNDERTAKING A LOT OF PROJECTS SO I KNOW IT GETS DIFFICULT FOR RESIDENTS, CONSTRUCTION IS NEVER FUN BUT THE CITY OF PARKLAND SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE HAS GROWN TREMENDOUSLY. I THINK WHEN I FIRST MOVED HERE IT WAS PROBABLY ABOUT 20,000 RESIDENTS, NOW WE'RE AT 35,000 RESIDENTS. IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY HAS A GOOD EXPERIENCE LIVING IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND THIS PROJECT WE HAVE TO UNDERTAKE WHETHER IT IS HILLSBOROUGH, THE RANCHES, PINE TREE. I KNOW WE ARE DOING A LOT AND A LOT OF THINGS ARE HAPPENING AT THAT SAME TIME.

A LOT OF THE THINGS WE CAN CONTROL, A LOT OF THINGS WE CANNOT CONTROL. WE TRY TO DO THE BEST WE CAN TO WORK WITH THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES AND COMPANIES LIKE THAT TO MAKE SURE PARKLAND CONTINES TO BE ONE OF THE PREEMINENT CITIES IN FLORIDA. CONSTRUCTION CAN BE UNCOMFORTABLE BUT PLEASE EVERYBODY TRY TO BE PATIENT, THE PROJECTS ARE MOVING ALONG NICELY AND ALL OF THEM ARE AHEAD OF SCHEDULE WHICH IS GREAT TO HEAR FOR US.

BUT THERE'S STILL A LITTLE BIT OF TIME LEFT ON THE ROAD AND HILLSBOROUGH SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE I KNOW THOSE DIRECTLY IMPACT THE RESIDENTS AND WHEN I SAY RESIDENTS THAT MEANS US.

BECAUSE WE ALSO TRAVERSE THOSE ROADS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DOES SO WE UNDERSTAND THE TRAFFIC ISSUES, WE UNDERSTAND ALL THE DIFFERENT COMPLEXITIES WITH THE PROJECT BUT WE DO HERE AT THE COMMISSION LEVEL AND ALSO THE STAFF LEVEL, WE TRY TO WORK WITH ALL THE ENTITIES TO MAKE SURE WE CAN MAKE THOSE PROJECTS AS SMOOTH AS POSSIBLE. THERE WILL BE SOME INCONVENIENCE FOR A FEW MORE MONTHS BUT WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT BEING FINISHED AND ULTIMATELY HILLSBOROUGH.

[6. Proclamations and Recognitions]

TODAY. >> LET'S SEE WHO WE PICK UP FIRST. THE WEST GLADES MIDDLE SCHOOL SPEECH AND DEBATE TEAM, DO YOU GUYS WANT TO GET UP HERE?

>> OKAY. >> BLENDING STAGE PRESENCE WITH HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE, PERSONALITY AND ENUNCIATION, I ENUNCIATED THAT THAT OKAY? OUR SKILLS THE STUDENTS HAVE ALLOWED TO ATTEND IN A CLASSROOM SETTING, RECEIVING A GRADE ON A PRESENTATION IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL BUT IF YOU WERE ON THE SPEECH AND DEBATE TEAM, NOT ONLY ARE YOU MEMORIZING, EMBODYING AND RECITING COMPLEX PASSAGES, YOU ARE DOING SO BEFORE AN AUDIENCE, WHERE JUDGES ARE SCORING YOUR PRESENTATION AND JUDGING EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR DELIVERY.

OUR WEST GLADES MIDDLE SCHOOL SPEECH AND DEBATE TEAM IS FAMILIAR WITH THIS KIND OF PRESSURE.

IN FACT THEY THRIVE IN THIS ENVIRONMENT.

THIS AWARD WINNING TEAM OF 46 STUDENTS IN GRADES SIX THROUGH EIGHT RECENTLY COMPETED AGAINST TOP COMPETITORS IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND THE FLORIDA FORENSICS LEAD STATE SPEECH AND DEBATE TOURNAMENT. AFTER COMPETING IN DOZENS OF CATEGORIES THEY EARNED FIVE STATE CHAMPION TITLES AND SEVERAL FINALIST PLACEMENTS ACROSS A RANGE OF EVENTS.

ACCORDING TO SPEECH AND DEBATE ADVISOR, THE SUCCESS OF THIS TALENTED TEAM IS A PRODUCT OF EXTENSIVE PREPARATION, CRITICAL THINKING, CONFIDENCE AND CAMARADERIE.

THE STUDENTS ENCOURAGE AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER AND THIS IS

[00:15:01]

THE STUDENTS COMPETED IN A NUMBER OF CATEGORIES INCLUDING CONGRESS, LINCOLN-DOUGLAS DEBATE, DRAMATIC INTERPRETATION, DECLAMATION, POETRY, HUMOUROUS INTERPRETATION, IMPROMPTU PROSE AND MORE. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THEIR SUCCESS IN 2026. THE STUDENTS WILL ALSO COMPETE AT THE NATIONAL SPEECH AND DEBATE TOURNAMENT IN RICHMOND VIRGINIA IN JUNE. ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND CITY COMMISSION CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WEST GLADES MIDDLE SCHOOL SPEECH AND DEBATE TEAM WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HEAR FIRSTHAND WHY THIS IS A POWERHOUSE TEAM.

WE WILL NOW HEAR, ARE YOU HERE? I DID NOT ENUNCIATE THAT RIGHT, CONGRESSIONAL DEBATE FLORIDA FORENSICS MIDDLE SCHOOL STATE CHAMPION WHO WILL DELIVER HER ORIGINAL SPEECH.

>> I DON'T NEED THE MICROPHONE. >> EVEN BETTER.

>> THERE IS SOMETHING STRANGE ABOUT FEAR, THE MORE YOU RUN FROM IT THE HEAVIER IT FEELS. BUT THE MOMENT YOU FACE IT, AND REFUSE TO LET IT CONTROL YOU, IT STARTS.

THAT WAS ME, WHEN I JOINED SPEECH AND DEBATE I DID NOT BEGIN AS A MOST CONFIDENT PERSON.

I WAS NERVOUS. UNSURE OF MYSELF AND INTIMIDATED BY THE IDEA OF STANDING IN FRONT OF SO MANY PEOPLE AND BEING JUDGED BY EVERYONE -- EVERY WORD THAT CAME OUT OF MY MOUTH BUT SPEECH AND DEBATE CHANGED THAT. IT BECAME A PLACE WHERE I LEARNED THAT FACING YOUR FEARS, YOU DEFEATED BY STEPPING FORWARD ANYWAYS. AND THAT IS REALLY WHAT SPEECH AND DEBATE IS ALL ABOUT. WHEN I COMPETED I WOULD WALK IN FEELING, I WALKED IN FEELING LIKE EVERY OTHER COMPETITOR, NERVOUS, PREPARED AND TRYING TO FIND A REASON AS TO WHY I BELONG IN THIS GROUP. SOME OF THE BEST IN THE STATE.

EVERY NOW, SPEAK FASTER. [INAUDIBLE]

>> I DID NOT FEEL LIKE ONE PERFECT MOMENT, I FELT LIKE THE RESULT OF EVERYTHING I'VE DONE, EVERY SETBACK AND EVERY TIME I CHOSE TO NEVER GIVE UP. [INAUDIBLE]

>> SPEECH AND DEBATE CHANGED MY LIFE CHARACTER TAUGHT ME HOW TO LISTEN BEFORE I RESPOND TO, HOW TO TURN NERVES INTO CERTAINTY.

IT TAUGHT ME THAT SPEAKING ISN'T ABOUT FINDING THE RIGHT WORDS TO SAY, IT'S ABOUT HAVING THE COURAGE TO SAY THEM.

MOST IMPORTANTLY IT SHAPED THE WAY I THINK, IT TAUGHT ME TO BUILD IDEAS INSTEAD OF JUST WINNING ARGUMENTS AND TO SEE EVERY CHALLENGE AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW.

I STOPPED SEEING IT AS AN ACTIVITY AND STARTED SEEING IT AS A PART OF WHO I AM AND I SURE DO.

I WOULD NOT BE STANDING HERE TODAY WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF SO MANY PEOPLE. FIRST MY PARENTS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING TO EVERY TOURNAMENT AND LISTENING TO MY SPEECH PREP. THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BELIEVING IN ME, SUPPORTING ME. AND HOLDING ME TO A HIGHER STANDARD THAN I THOUGHT WAS EVER ACHIEVABLE, SHE'S THE REASON I BECAME A BETTER VERSION OF MYSELF AND I'M SURE SO MANY OF THESE OTHER STUDENTS WOULD SAY THE SAME THING.

THANK YOU TO THE... FOR PUSHING AND INSPIRING ME TO IMPROVE EVERY SINGLE DAY, THIS TEAM IS REALLY SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

THE TEAMWORK ALL IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE EVERYONE IS PUSHING OTHERS TO BE -- TO BE BETTER.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS SUPPORTING AND RECOGNIZING OUR STUDENTS AND MAKING MOMENTS LIKE THESE POSSIBLE. SO, AS I MOVE ON AND I'M SURE I CAN SPEAK FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE, I AM SEEKING MORE THAN JUST A TITLE, THE DISCIPLINE, AND THE BELIEF THAT MY VOICE CHARACTERS LIKE EVERY VOICE IN THIS ROOM, CAN MAKE AN IMPACT, THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE]

>> THAT WAS AWESOME, THANK YOU. >> CAN WE GET YOU ALL HERE FOR A PHOTO. [LAUGHTER]

[00:23:15]

[APPLAUSE] ARE ANY OF THEIR COACHES HERE?

>> AND A SHOW OF TRUE SPORTSMANSHIP, DEDICATION AND LEADERSHIP THE PARKLAND FLAG TRAVEL TEAM HAS EARNED REGIONAL ACCLAIM. THIS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE TRAVEL TEAM IS PART OF THE NFL FLAG MIAMI DOLPHINS PROGRAM THEY RECENTLY WON THE REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP CONFER AND THEY ARE HEADED TO NATIONALS FOR THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR.

EARNING THIS LEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENT IN THE FIELD IS A PHENOMENAL ACCOMPLISHMENT, IT DEMONSTRATES THE INTENTIONALITY AND FOCUS OF THESE ATHLETES. THE GIRLS WHO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES TO NOT ONLY HONE THEIR SKILLS DURING THE OFF SEASON BUT ALSO TO TRAIN AND COMPETE TOGETHER YEAR ROUND.

COACHES CRAIG, SAY THAT THERE IS SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT THIS TEAM, HOPEFULLY I DID NOT REALLY HURT THOSE NAMES.

THEY HAVE HELPED CREATE THE STANDARD FOR YOUNGER ATHLETES WHO LOOK UP TO THEM AS THEY ASPIRE TO COMPETE AS WELL.

THE NFL FLAG IS THE OFFICIAL FLAG FOOTBALL LEAGUE OF THE NFL AND THE LARGEST YOUTH FOOTBALL ORGANIZATION IN THE U.S.

THE PROGRAM SERVES MORE THAN 830,000 YOUTH ATHLETES IN 2000 LEAGUES IN ALL 50 STATES. THAT SAYS A LOT ABOUT THIS TEAM

PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

>> MAYOR WALKER: OKAY. >> GOOD EVENING MR. MAYOR, CAITLIN FOORD WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, I'LL PROVIDE A BRIEF INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE ITEM AND THEN TURN TO THE APPLICANT TO MAKE THE PRESENTATION. AS THE CITY ATTORNEY MENTIONED ITEM BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS A MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT SPECIFICALLY, I'M SURE YOU'RE AWARE THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER ALLOCATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROJECT, THOSE WILL FOLLOW AT THE MAY 20TH MEETING, THE ITEM BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS SPECIFICALLY THE MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT.

AS PART OF THE MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT THE APPLICANT IS ASKING FOR TWO THINGS ESSENTIALLY, AN INCREASE FROM THE CURRENTLY ALLOWED 110,000 SQUARE FEET ON THAT SUBJECT PARCEL WHICH IS IDENTIFIED AS PARCEL C, OF THE DUBAI MAR A LAGO MASTER PLAN, THE INCREASE WOULD ALLOW THEM TO GO FROM 110,000 SQUARE FEET OF DEVELOPMENT ON THAT PROPERTY TO APPROXIMATELY 10.3 ACRES TO 135 SQUARE FEET.

THERE IS A CHANGE TO THE DRAWING ITSELF, THERE IS A NOTE ON THE DRAWING THAT LIMITS TO 110,000, AS WELL AS IN THE TABULAR DATA SO THAT'S PART A OF THE REQUEST, PART B IS TO AMEND THOSE TWO CONDITIONS THAT WERE PART OF THAT MASTER PLAN ORDINANCE.

THE MASTER PLAN ORDINANCE WAS ORIGINALLY ADOPTED IN 2011 LATER AMENDED BY ORDINANCE IN 2014, AND THERE WAS TWO CONDITIONS THAT REFLECT THAT 110,000 SQUARE FOOT LIMITATION SO THE COMBINED REQUEST IS AN AMENDMENT TO THE DRAWING WITH 110 TO 135,000 ON THE DRAWING AND THEN TO AMEND ANY CONDITIONS THAT WERE ESTABLISHED THAT REFLECT THE 110,000 SQUARE FEET LIMITATION.

>> MAYOR WALKER: JUST TO BE CLEAR, IT IS ALREADY APPROVED AT

110,000. >> THAT'S RIGHT, 110,000, WITH THEIR APPLICATION THEY'RE EXCEEDING THE 110,000 SQUARE FEET AND YOU WILL SEE THAT AS PART OF THE SITE PLAN APPLICATION THAT'S COMING LATER IN THE MONTH.

BUT SINCE THEY ARE STRIPPING THE 110,000 SQUARE FEET THEY HAVE TO AMEND SEVERAL OTHER DOCUMENTS THAT REFLECT THAT.

TONIGHT BEFORE YOU IS THE MASTER PLAN, THERE IS OTHER AGREEMENTS LIKE DECLARATION OF RESPECT -- COVENANT THAT HAVE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS AND THRESHOLDS AS THE DEVELOPMENT ALLOWANCE ON THAT PARTIAL. IS IS THE FIRST PIECE AND -- ONLY COMING SEPARATELY BECAUSE THIS ONE WE HAVE TO DO BY ORDINANCE. THIS COMES FIRST, THE OTHER IS ADOPTED BY RESOLUTION SO THEY WILL FOLLOW.

>> MAYOR WALKER: TODAY'S REQUEST OF THE APPLICANT IS

[00:35:01]

>> THAT'S CORRECT. >> IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL WAS UNDER 100,000 SQUARE FEET.

>> IT RESTRICTS IT TO 100,000 BUT THE MASTER PLAN IS 110,000.

THERE WAS A LOT OF DIFFERENT WORKING NUMBERS THAT YOU HAVE TO KEEP STRAIGHT. THE MASTER PLAN IS 110,000, THERE FOR THAT RESTRICTED IT TO 100,000 SQUARE FEET OF CHARTER

SCHOOL. >> WE ARE INCREASING IT BY.

>> DEPENDING ON WHICH DOCUMENT. >> 25%.

>> WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT OVER TO THE APPLICANT TO MAKE THEIR PRESENTATION. WE ALSO DO HAVE THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER FOR THE CITY AND THE AUDIENCE IF THERE'S ANY SPECIFIC

QUESTIONS. >> ONE OF THESE DAYS.

>> I THINK THEY CHANGED IT. >> I THINK I HAVE THIS FIGURED OUT, GOOD EVENING ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT AS KAITLIN MENTIONED WE ARE HERE FOR A SOMEWHAT LIMITED REASON BUT RARELY BECAUSE OF A TECHNICALITY OF THE WAY THE PROCESS WORKS.

IT'S AN ORDINANCE IT REQUIRES TWO READINGS SO THIS HAS TO COME FIRST AND EVERYTHING WILL BE PRESENTED IN TWO WEEKS.

THAT SAID, I THINK OUR TEAM ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS IS -- THERE ARE FIVE APPLICATIONS AND TWO AGREEMENTS TO GO ALONG WITH ALL OF THIS AND SO IF IT'S OKAY WITH THE MAYOR AND THE COMMISSION I AM GOING TO GO AHEAD AND BASICALLY MAKE THE FULL PRESENTATION I MADE AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD.

I WILL SHARE WITH YOU THE CONTENT OF ALL OF THE APPLICATIONS THAT YOU WILL SEE IN TWO WEEKS, I WILL GIVE YOU THE FULL BIG PICTURE SO YOU UNDERSTAND IN CONTEXT WHAT YOU ARE BEING ASKED TO IMPROVE TONIGHT WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY A COUPLE YOU JUST MENTIONED, 25,000 SQUARE FOOT INCREASE FOR THE MASTER PLAN BUT ULTIMATELY I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALL UNDERSTAND AND WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK THROUGH EVERYTHING THAT'S COME UP, THE MORE THAN ONE YEAR WE HAVE SPENT IN REVIEW WITH STAFF, OBVIOUSLY ACKNOWLEDGING AND UNDERSTANDING ALL OF THE VARIOUS ISSUES THAT GO ALONG WITH THIS PROJECT STARTED, HOW WE ENDED UP WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

SO THAT IS MY INTENTION TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL GET A FULL PICTURE OF THIS ENTIRE APPLICATION, WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO DO HERE.

TO START WITH THAT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THIS COMMISSION, OBVIOUSLY I THINK EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS SOMERSET ACADEMY, BACK IN 2018, 2019 AS THIS WAS ULTIMATELY APPROVED AND THEN GOT AN APPROVAL AND HANDED INTO A SCHOOL YEAR WHERE COVID 19 HIT AND YOU WILL HEAR FROM THE PRINCIPAL IN A FEW MOMENTS ABOUT ALL OF THAT. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE COMMISSION TO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BACKGROUND OF ALL OF THIS AND SOMERSET ACADEMY PARKLAND IS A PIECE OF IT BUT THIS ALL STARTS WITH A LARGER SCHOOL -- THEY OWN SCHOOLS ALL OVER THE WORLD, THE MAJORITY OF THEIR HOLDINGS ARE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA, AS YOU CAN SEE BEFORE US, ALMOST ALL OF THEIR SCHOOLS ARE AT AN A OR B GRADE LEVEL AND THAT TRANSLATES INTO THE SOMERSET ECONOMY PROGRAM AND AS THE PRINCIPAL TALKED ABOUT JUST A FEW MINUTES, THE SOMERSET PARKLAND ACADEMY IN PARTICULAR. SOMERSET ACADEMY I AM SURE BEFORE THEY CAME TO THE CITY OF PARKLAND MANY OF YOU HEARD OF..., THEY ARE LOCATED PRIMARILY HELD ALTHOUGH IN MANY STATES IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND IN PARTICULAR IN SOUTH FLORIDA. THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS AND AGAIN STATE RECOGNIZED FOR ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND EXCELLENCE AND AGAIN THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEIR SCHOOLS BEING GRADED AT A OR B. I THINK NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME FOR THE PRINCIPAL TO EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT SOMERSET ACADEMY PARKLAND, TALKING ABOUT THE HISTORY, ULTIMATELY THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU TODAY FOR THE CAMPUS.

>> THANK YOU SCOTT. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR, PRINCIPAL OF SOMERSET ACADEMY. I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOU THIS EVENING.

AS YOU KNOW THIS IS OUR SIXTH YEAR IN OPERATION.

AS SCOTT MENTIONED WE OPENED PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE

[00:40:03]

WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WORK WITH THE CITY AND THE COMMUNITY TO BUILD A SCHOOL THAT MEETS THE NEEDS OF THOSE THAT COME TO OUR SCHOOL. WITH THAT SAID, I AM GRATEFUL FOR ACADEMICA AS THE EDUCATION SERVICE PROVIDER THAT PROVIDES ALL THE RESOURCES THAT OUR SCHOOL NEEDS TO HELP US GROW AND SUCCEED AS WELL AS OUR TEAM OF TEACHERS, PARENTS AND STUDENTS BUT I ALSO WANT TO ADD A COUPLE OF THINGS.

YOU WILL SEE SOME OF THE ACCOLADES THAT OUR SCHOOL HAS RECEIVED IN SUCH A SHORT. OF TIME, AGAIN 2020, 2021 THE OLD SCHOOL GRADE. AFTER THAT WE HAVE BEEN ROCKING IT AND WE HAVE BEEN IN THE SCHOOL.

WE ARE CONSIDERED A SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE AS PER FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. WE ARE IN BOTH THE TOP 10%, AND THE ELEMENTARY AND THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND SOMERSET PARKLAND ACADEMY CURRENTLY HOLDS THE NUMBER 1 PUBLIC K-8 SCHOOL IN ALL OF THE COUNTY. I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING TO BE VERY PROUD OF, I HOPE I CAN ONE DAY SAY THAT THIS IS NOT JUST IT BEING THE NUMBER 1 BUT THE 912 AS WELL WITH YOUR BLESSING AS WELL. AND SO I THINK AS TO SEE WHAT

ELSE WE HAVE COOKING FOR YOU. >> THANK YOU.

SO NOW TO REALLY GET INTO THE MEAT OF THE APPLICATION, I THINK EVERYONE IS AWARE OF WHERE SOMERSET ACADEMY IS LOCATED BUT TO SET EVERYONE'S BEARINGS, IT'S AN AERIAL THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF HILLSBOROUGH BOULEVARD AND UNIVERSITY DRIVE THAT IS A CURRENT AERIAL OF THE IMPROVED THAT HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED ON THE SITE AS WE'RE TALKING IN REGARD TO THE MASTER PLAN.

WE'RE IN THE ZONING DISTRICT AND COMMERCIAL FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY AND AGAIN, FIVE DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS THAT ARE COMING BEFORE YOU ALONG WITH TWO DIFFERENT AGREEMENTS ULTIMATELY ALL OF THAT WILL BE PRESENTED IN PART AT THE BACKUP IN TWO WEEKS.

THEY ARE ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT AND POSTPONED FOR THE TWO WEEKS SO THAT WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THE FIRST READING OF THE MASTER PLAN ORDINANCE. I THINK IN ORDER FOR YOU ALL TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE ARE ULTIMATELY REQUESTING IT'S IMPORTANT AND VICE MAYOR BRIER ASKED ABOUT THIS CHARACTER REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THE ORIGINAL APPROVALS WERE FOR.

BACK IN 2018 AND 2019 THERE WAS SPECIAL EXCEPTION, THERE WAS A SITE PLAN APPROVED. WHAT YOU SEE ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE, I WILL WALK YOU THROUGH THIS ON THE GRAPHIC IN A MOMENT.

IT IS WHAT IS ULTIMATELY APPROVED.

WAS ULTIMATELY APPROVED WAS NOT ENTIRELY CONSTRUCTED AND SO THERE WAS JUST UNDER 100,000 SQUARE FEET AND I BELIEVE FOUR DIFFERENT BUILDINGS THAT WERE IMPROVED TO BUILDINGS WERE CONSTRUCTED, TWO WERE NOT SO THIS 56,000 SQUARE FEET AND CHANGE CURRENTLY ON CAMPUS. ONE OF THE BUILDINGS THAT WAS NOT CONSTRUCTED WAS A GYMNASIUM, I WAS -- IT WAS PROPOSED AT 14,000 SQUARE FEET, YOU WILL SEE THIS EVENING THE GYMNASIUM BUILDING IS ALMOST PROPOSED TO DOUBLE IN SIZE WHICH IS A BIG CHUNK OF THE SQUARE FOOTAGE CAME FROM.

WE WILL GET TO THAT IN A MOMENT. K THROUGH EIGHT CURRENTLY WE ARE REQUESTING TO GO THROUGH K THROUGH 12, THE STUDENT CAP UNDER THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL WAS 1280 STUDENTS, THEY ARE CURRENTLY OVER 1000 STUDENTS ON CAMPUS TODAY.

SO THIS SLIDE WILL SHOW YOU GRAPHICALLY WHAT I WAS JUST REFERENCING. THE TWO BUILDINGS HIGHLIGHTED IN ORANGE OR YELLOW, DEPENDING ON HOW YOU SEE COLORS, THEY ARE WHAT YOU WILL SEE ON OUR CURRENT PLAN AS THE BUILDING ON THE FAR RIGHT SIDE OR THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY WHAT'S KNOWN AS BUILDING C. THE BUILDING WAS NOT CONSTRUCTED AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE GYMNASIUM BUILDING ON THE TOP LEFT-HAND SIDE ALSO WAS NOT CONSTRUCTED.

EVERYTHING ELSE ON SITE WAS CONSTRUCTED INCLUDING THE PARKING SPACES. THE STACKING AND QUEUING AND AGAIN THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE TERRIBLY IMPACTED AS PART OF THE APPLICATIONS THAT WE ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH.

YOU WILL HEAR OVER THE COURSE OF THE PRESENTATION, DISCUSSIONS ABOUT PHASING AND STAGING AND ALL OF THAT AS WE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WORKING CLOSELY WITH STAFF AS WELL AND AS A NUMBER OF CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL THAT REFLECT THAT IN THE SITE PLAN, RESOLUTION WHEN THAT ENDS UP BEFORE YOU AND THE AMENDED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. THERE MIGHT BE A NUMBER OF ITEMS THIS EVENING THAT AREN'T WORTHWHILE TO DISCUSS, IS WHY WE'RE GIVING YOU THE BIG PICTURE SO WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO REGROUP

[00:45:01]

AS A RESULT THERE'S A LAUNDRY LIST OF APPROVAL, AND A VERY SUBSTANTIAL AND MEATY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IT'S ONE OF THE DOCUMENTS I MENTIONED WE WERE PROPOSING TO AMEND.

AND FRANKLY TO REINSTATE A NUMBER OF THESE PRIOR CONDITIONS BECAUSE THESE CONDITIONS, TRAFFIC MONITORING, SIGNALS, IMPROVEMENTS WHICH I'LL SHOW YOU ON THE GRAPHIC IN A MOMENT, ALL OF THESE CONDITIONS HAVE ESSENTIALLY BEEN COMPLETED IN ONE RESPECT OR ANOTHER. WE ARE STILL REQUIRED TO HAVE BSO, TRAFFIC CONTROL OFFICERS, THE CROSSING GUARDS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE HERE BUT A LOT OF THE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS HAVE PASSED BECAUSE OF THE TIMEFRAMES OUTLINED IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. WE ARE REINSTATING THAT AS PART OF A PROPOSED INCREASE IN STUDENT CAP AS WELL AS GRADES TO PUT ALL OF THESE CONDITIONS WITH I THINK -- WHICH I THINK EVERYONE WOULD AGREE WORKED REALLY, REALLY WELL ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT WERE IN PLACE BACK WHEN THIS WAS APPROVED AND IN -- IT ENSURES WE WERE BUILDING THEM FOR ON SITE TRAFFIC, AND, FOR PARKING AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. THIS SLIDE DEPICTS AS A REMINDER FOR EVERYONE WHO WAS NOT AWARE, THERE WERE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF IMPROVEMENTS THAT WERE NECESSARY, C HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE AND ORANGE ON THE SCREEN, THEY WERE CONSTRUCTED.

ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE IS ANOTHER TURN LANE THAT A LEFT HAND TURN LANE THAT IS CONSTRUCTED. I WAS TALKING WITH A TRAFFIC ENGINEER PRIOR TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING BECAUSE I WAS NOT DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THE APPROVALS AT THE TIME BUT THERE WAS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL TO GO OUT AND TALK TO SCHOOL ZONE THAT IS NO EASYA- TASK, I REPRESENT OTHER SCHOOLS AROUND THE COUNTY, WE HAVE BEEN TOLD NO.

IN THIS CASE WE KNOW THERE IS A SCHOOL ZONE OUT THERE AND SO I THINK THAT'S OBVIOUSLY ANOTHER VERY SIGNIFICANT CONDITION THAT WE WERE ABLE TO PUSH AND COMPLY WITH ORIGINALLY.

IT WILL PROVE BENEFICIAL ASSUMING THE COMMISSION APPROVES PREJUDICE APPLICATION THAT IS BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING AND IN TWO WEEKS. I MENTIONED THE OTHERS, THESE EFFECTIVELY REMAIN IN EFFECT CROSSING GUARDS, TRAFFIC CONTROL OFFICERS. THE STUDENT CAP WE ARE HOPING TO INCREASE THAT AS WELL AND STAGGERED START TIMES.

YOU WILL SEE AND HEAR DURING OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEERS PRESENTATION THAT THE START TIMES WILL BE CHANGED SLIGHTLY, WE WILL BE ADDING A FOURTH AND ALL OF THAT PLAYS INTO THE TRAFFIC AND QUEUING ANALYSIS THAT WAS DONE AS PART OF THIS APPLICATION.

JUST TO POINT YOU TO THAT BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN, YOU CAN SEE LOCATIONS FOR BSO AND CROSSING GUARDS AS PART OF THIS AND YOU WILL START TO SEE THAT ON THE GRAPHICS COMING UP.

WE ARE PROPOSING A ROUNDABOUT AND SO SOME OF THOSE LOCATIONS MAY SHIFT SOMEWHAT. ONCE THAT IMPROVEMENT MOVES FORWARD BUT THE OBLIGATIONS REMAIN IN THE DEVELOPMENT AREA.

I THINK CAITLIN MENTIONED THESE BUT THESE ARE THE FIVE REQUESTS I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY THAT WILL ULTIMATELY BE BEFORE YOU IN TWO WEEKS, THE SECOND READING OF THE MASTER PLAN, THE AN AMENDMENT I WILL WALK YOU THROUGH EACH OF THESE.

THERE'S A SPECIAL EXCEPTION REQUEST THAT'S EXPANDING SPECIAL EXCEPTION FOR THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION THAT WAS APPROVED ORIGINALLY. A SITE PLAN AMENDMENT AND THEN COMMUNITY APPEARANCE FOR THE OTHER TWO THAT I MENTIONED.

AND THEN THERE'S AN AMENDMENT TO A DECLARATION FOR COVENANT THAT INVOLVES THE CITY AND THE COUNTY AND THAT IS REALLY JUST BASED ON THE SQUARE FOOTAGE ISSUE. SO I THINK CAITLIN MENTIONED AT LEAST IN HER EXPLANATION WHAT IS BEING CHANGED AND YOU CAN SEE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN, THE TWO THAT ARE BEING CHANGED IN THE EVENING BEFORE YOU. WERE ASKING TO AMEND THE MASTER PLAN TO GO FROM 110,000 SQUARE FEET TO 135,000 SQUARE FEET PER YEAR 25,000 SQUARE FOOT INCREASE FROM WHAT IS CURRENTLY ALLOWED UNDER THE MASTER PLAN. THAT IS THE EXTENT OF WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IN THAT PARTICULAR APPLICATION, OBVIOUSLY ALL OF THE OTHER REQUESTS COME INTO PLAY, WE WILL SEE IN A FEW MOMENTS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THAT SITE PLAN, WE ARE PROPOSING BUILDINGS THAT ARE JUST OVER 100 AND -- SORRY.

125,000 SQUARE -- SQUARE FEET. WHAT HAPPENS A LOT OF TIME IN THE COUNTY, WE'RE ASKING FOR THE SAME THING WITH THE AMENDMENT AND THE MASTER PLAN, THE COUNTY CALCULATES SQUARE FOOTAG

[00:50:06]

WE ARE NOT SURE. YOU ALSO ONLY PAY FOR WHAT YOU BUILD. THERE IS NO REAL HARM IF CONCURRENCY WOULD ALLOW YOU TO HAVE THE EXTRA -- SQUARE FOOTAGE TO REQUEST THE SQUARE FOOTAGE SO THAT IF, FOR SOME REASON, WE DECIDE TO COME BACK IN THE FUTURE AND PROPOSE 5000 SQUARE FOOT EXPANSION, NO ONE IS PROPOSING THAT BY ANY MEANS BUT THEN WE GET THE COUNTY OUT OF THE WAY.

WE NEVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE COUNTY AGAIN AND EVERYTHING IS THROUGH THE CITY AND WE WOULD ALL AGREE IN MOST INSTANCES THAT THAT'S A GOOD THING. AS IT RELATE TO THE AMENDMENT, THE REST OF THESE YOU WILL SEE FORMALLY IN TWO WEEKS FOR CONSIDERATION BUT THIS IS THE SAME PRESENTATION UNLESS YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE IT THEN -- THAT I PLAN ON MAKING IN TWO WEEKS. THE AMENDMENT I BELIEVE, YOU SAID IT'S 100, I THOUGHT -- I. THOUGHT IT SAID 110.

THE RESTRICTION IS CURRENTLY AT 100,000 SQUARE FEET.

WE ARE SIMPLY MAKING THE REQUEST, THE CITY NEEDS TO SIGN OFF ON WHAT IS CALLED A LETTER OF NO OBJECTION.

WE HAVE AN APPLICATION THAT'S ALREADY PENDING AT THE COUNTY UNTIL THE CITY TAKES ACTION, THE COUNTY WILL TAKE ACTION AND THAT WILL INCREASE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE.

WE ARE NOT ANTICIPATING CONSIDERING ALL OF THE COORDINATION WE'VE BEEN DOING WITH THE COUNTY WITH REGARD TO TRAFFIC AND ON SITE IMPROVEMENTS SUCH AS THE ROUNDABOUT THAT THERE WILL BE ANY ISSUE WITH THE COUNTY'S APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL SQUARE FOOTAGE. I AM NOT GOING TO GO INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL ON THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION, AS I MENTIONED ALL THE CRITERIA WERE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MET BACK IN 2018 AND 2019, IT IS ESSENTIALLY A REQUEST BECAUSE WE ARE EXPANDING THE SCOPE AND SIZE OF K THROUGH EIGHT TO K TO 12 AS WELL AS THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION AND YOUR CODE REQUIRES US TO SEEK SPECIAL EXCEPTION APPROVAL.

SO AS I SAID, THE MEAT AT THIS PRESENTATION WILL FOCUS ON THAT SITE PLAN AMENDMENT, I WILL WALK YOU THROUGH FIRST IN TEXT AND THEN GRAPHICALLY WITH THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS ARE ON CAMPUS. FOLLOWED BY THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER, FOLLOWED BY THE ARCHITECT WHO WILL TALK TO RESPECTIVELY ABOUT THE ALL THE TRAFFIC CONSIDERATION.

AND THEN FOLLOWED BY THE ARCHITECT WHO WILL TALK A LOT ABOUT THE PHASING AND STAGING OF CONSTRUCTION.

YOU WILL SEE IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS THAT WE PLAN ON INTRODUCING NINTH GRADE THEN TENTH GRADE THEN 11TH GADE AND 12TH GRADE AND BUILDING BUILDINGS SEQUENTIALLY OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT THREE TO FOUR YEARS IN ORDER TO THEN ACCOMMODATE THOSE ADDITIONAL STUDENTS ON CAMPUS.

AS I MENTIONED WE ARE PROPOSING TO EXTEND THE SIZE AND INCREASE THE SIZE TO 135,072 SQUARE FEET TOTAL, CAP THE STUDENTS AT 2100, BUILDING C AND AGAIN YOU WILL SEE ALL THIS GRAPHICALLY IN JUST A MOMENT. THAT IS THE BUILDING THAT IS ON THE FAR EAST SIDE OF WHAT WAS ESSENTIALLY PREVIOUSLY APPROVED BUT NOT CONSTRUCTED. WE WILL INCLUDE A CAFETERIA WHERE WE PUT 14 CLASSES BUILDING D WHICH IS A NEW BUILDING THAT IS PROPOSED ESSENTIALLY ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE SCHOOL CAMPUS AREA, IT WILL INCLUDE A NEW INTERIOR COURTYARD AND PLAYFIELD, THERE IS CURRENTLY ONE THERE.

IT WILL BE SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVED FOR WHAT IS THERE TODAY. AND IT IS A TWO-STORY BUILDING THAT WILL HAVE AN OCCUPIABLE ROOFTOP RECREATION AREA.

WE HAVE SOME GRAPHICS WE CAN SHARE WITH YOU OF OTHER REAL LIFE EXAMPLES SO YOU CAN HAVE A BETTER FEEL FOR WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE. IN 15 CLASSROOMS. AS I MENTIONED EARLIER THE GYM BUILDING THAT IS BUILDING E IS PROPOSED TO ALMOST DOUBLE IN SIZE FROM WHAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY ESSENTIALLY WITHIN THE SAME BUILDING FOOTPRINT IN THE SAME LOCATION AS PROPOSED ORIGINALLY. IT WILL BE MORE OF A MULTI-PURPOSE BUILDING AT THIS POINT IT WILL OBVIOUSLY INCLUDE THE LOCKER ROOMS AND ATHLETIC FACILITIES BUT IT WILL INCLUDE SOME SIX CLASSROOMS. WE ARE ADDING 79 PARKING CLASSES, 35 OF THEM ARE ACTUALLY TUCKED UNDER ON THE NORTH SIDE OF BUILDING D. AND 34 OTHER SPACES, I KNOW THIS WILL BE A DISCUSSION POINT ONCE WE GET INTO IT THIS EVENING ARE CURRENTLY RESERVED WHICH EXCEEDS THE STATE REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE RESERVED FOR 11TH AND 12TH GRADE STUDENTS.

I THINK THAT COVERS THE SITE PLAN AMENDMENTS.

I WILL WALK YOU THROUGH GRAPHICALLY SO EVERYONE CAN GET A BETTER FEEL FOR THE NATURE OF THE IMPROVEMENT AND WHAT WE ARE

[00:55:01]

THE NEW INTERIOR COURTYARD AND WE ARE WORKING WITH STAFF, IT IS WORKING WITH STAFF, WE ARE CALLING IT PHASE ONE, IT WILL EFFECTIVELY BE OPEN AND OPERATING PRIOR TO THAT BUILDING OBTAINING OCCUPANCY. AND WE WILL GO THROUGH THAT CONDITIONS SHORTLY AS WELL. THE GYMNASIUM AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, SAME LOCATION AS THE PRIOR GYM, OBVIOUSLY SAME HEIGHT, THERE IS A MEZZANINE THAT LOOKS INTERIOR TO THE BUILDING THAT PICKS UP THE INTERIOR SQUARE FOOTAGE, AND SOME OTHER CLASSROOM SPACE WE TALKED ABOUT.

SOME OTHER ONSITE AMENITIES, SOME COVERED BY CRACK AREAS, THERE JERSEY BARRIERS YOU WILL HEAR A TRAFFIC ENGINEER TALK ABOUT THIS IN A FEW MOMENTS WHICH WILL CREATE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR MORE EFFICIENT LOADING AND UNLOADING DURING THE COURSE OF THE DAY. THEN A COUPLE OF ADDITIONAL PARKING AREAS THAT WENT ON THE NORTH SIDE IS WHERE THEY DESIGNATED 34 PARKING SPACES WILL BE LOCATED.

ALSO TO DISCUSS THEIR PARKING, IT'S OUR UNDERSTANDING FROM DISCUSSIONS WITH STAFF AND MANY OF YOU THAT THE CITY IS IN THE PROCESS OF AMENDING THE PARKING CODE THAT MIGHT ALLOW US THE PENDING THE APPROVAL OF THAT ORDINANCE TO RESTRIPE AND PICK UP WHERE WE ESTIMATED TO BE SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF TEN TO 15 ADDITIONAL SPACES. IF THAT ORDINANCE PASSES AND WE HAVE AGREED TO THAT AS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL AS WELL.

I BELIEVE THE PRINCIPAL TALKED ABOUT THIS BRIEFLY BUT I THINK IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE MANNER IN WHICH THE DESIGN WAS TAKEN IN, WERE TALKING ABOUT GOING FROM K TO EIGHT, WERE ADDING A HIGH SCHOOL ELEMENT HERE AND SO ALTHOUGH, THE PRINCIPAL SPEAKS VERY WELL TO THIS, WHEN YOU'RE STARTING IN KINDERGARTEN, YOU'RE STARTING THROUGH 12TH GRADE AND YOU START A NETWORK. OBVIOUSLY THERE'S SOME TIME FOR THAT TO HAPPEN BUT YOU CAN GO FROM NINTH GRADE TO 12TH GRADE NOT JUST INTRODUCING A BUNCH OF NEW HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND SO YOU ARE CREATING A FAMILY ATMOSPHERE WITHIN THE SCHOOL AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 600 HIGH SCHOOL KIDS NOT THOUSANDS.

LIKE YOU SEE IN MOST LARGER HIGH SCHOOL AND IT CREATES A MORE INTIMATE SETTING. AT THE SAME TIME WE ACKNOWLEDGE IT'S IMPORTANT FOR SAFETY, LIABILITY, FOR SECURITY THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE SEPARATION. WE HAVE KIDS OF OTHER AGES AND WE UNDERSTAND THERE'S A CONCERN THAT'S BEEN RAISED, IT WAS A LENGTHY DISCUSSION AND SO WE DESIGNED THE BUILDINGS IN RECREATIONAL AREAS SO THEY CAN BE SEPARATED BETWEEN UPPER SCHOOL AND LOWER SCHOOL AND MAKE SURE THAT THE TIMES STAGGER WHEN THEY'RE BEING UTILIZED. THIS IS MY LAST SLIDE FOR A MOMENT, THIS IS WHERE WE START TO GET INTO DISCUSSION, WE GO FROM K TO 12 TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS TO 2100 TODAY WE'RE AT 26, 27 -- SORRY WE'RE AT TEN -- 1027 STUDENTS AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE ARE WITH THE EIGHTH GRADE.

NEXT YEAR, 26, 27 SCHOOL YEAR WE WILL STAY WITH THE EIGHTH GRADE.

THE IDEA IS IN THE 27, 27 SCHOOL YEAR TO START INTRODUCING NINTH GRADE TENTH GRADE 11TH GRADE AND 12TH GRADE.

CONSTRUCT THE IMPROVEMENTS, IDEALLY BEGINNING IN THE COURSE OF THE SUMMER TIME AND THEN YOU WILL HEAR FROM OUR ARCHITECTS SHORTLY ABOUT THE PHASING AND STAGING TO ENSURE IT HAS AS LITTLE IMPACT ON THE PROPERTY AS POSSIBLE.

I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO MENTION ABOUT THIS SLIDE, THERE'S BEEN SOME DISCUSSION AROUND IT.

IF YOU COULD PAY A LITTLE BIT OF ATTENTION HERE TO ALL OF THE GRADES BUT SIX, SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADES, AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS AND WE HAVE ENOUGH ROOM AND CAPACITY TO PICK UP AND GO TO THE FULL STUDENT CAP. WE ARE SHORT OF SOME STUDENT

[01:00:03]

YES, WE ARE PROPOSING TO ADD PLUS OR MINUS 600 STUDENTS TO THE HIGH SCHOOL, BUT THE ADDITIONAL SHORTFALL IF YOU WERE CALL IT, WE DON'T VIEW IT AS A SHORTFALL AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS IN A LOT MORE DETAIL BUT THERE IS 250 STUDENT GAP THERE THAT IS GOING TO FILL IN THE GAPS BECAUSE WE'RE NOT AT CAPACITY RIGHT NOW. WE CURRENTLY COULD HAVE 1280 STUDENTS. WE DO NOT BECAUSE WE NEED TO BUILD SOME ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS IN CAMPUS TO MAKE SURE WE'RE OPERATING AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE.

WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO ASK BRIAN KELLY, OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER TO COME UP AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE TRAFFIC ITEMS.

>> THANK YOU SCOTT, BRIAN KELLY TRAFFIC ENGINEER WITH SIMMONS.

>> I WILL GO OVER THE FUN STUFF OR MAYBE NOT SO FUN STUFF ANY TIME THERE'S A DEVELOPMENT TRAFFIC IS ALWAYS A CONCERN, ALWAYS AN ISSUE AND CERTAINLY WHEN A SCHOOL IS INVOLVED THAT IS ONLY MAGNIFIED. IT WILL MAGNIFIED BACK IN 2018 AND CERTAINLY TODAY IT'S OBVIOUSLY QUESTIONS -- THERE IS QUESTIONS THERE WE WANT TO ADDRESS WHAT WE ARE DOING TO MITIGATE THAT TRAFFIC. I WILL WALK YOU THROUGH THE TRAFFIC STUDY WE DID AND THE TRAFFIC OPERATIONAL PLAN.

THE FIRST THING I WANT TO MENTION IS WHEN WE DO A TRAFFIC STUDY IT IS NOT JUST OURSELVES OR THE APPLICANT TRAFFIC ENGINEER PUTTING IN TOGETHER SOME TRAFFIC STUDY.

THERE'S A METHODOLOGY THAT IS DONE IN COORDINATION WITH THE CITY, THE CITY STAFF AND THE THIRD PARTY TRAFFIC CONSULTANTS WHO WILL HAVE THE CITY AS A TRAFFIC ENGINEER THAT REVIEWS IT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON A NUMBER OF MONTHS. THE TRAFFIC STUDY IS FULLY -- REVIEWED AND VETTED. TO GET TO WHERE WE ARE NOW.

THEY HAVE REVIEWED IT AND THEY HAVE RECOMMENDED FULL APPROVAL.

THE ON SITE VEHICLE STACK AND YOU WILL HEAR ME TALK ABOUT THIS A LOT, CURRENTLY WE CAN FIT 188 VEHICLES IN THE INGRESS STACKING. WE ARE INCREASING THAT TO 234.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE ASSOCIATE TRAFFIC ISSUES WITH SCHOOLS. CERTAINLY YOU'VE DRIVEN BY ENOUGH SCHOOLS, I HAVE AS WELL. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS NOT NECESSARILY THE TRAFFIC THAT CAUSES THE ISSUE, THE SCHOOL IS NOT BUILT TO ACCOMMODATE ENOUGH VEHICLES ON SITE.

SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MARK I. HAVE THREE KIDS, I HAVE THREE KIDS, THE SCHOOLS THEY GO TO THIS 30 OR 40 VEHICLES THEY CAN FIT ON SITE. EVERYONE COMES AT ONE TIME.

MY YOUNGEST KID CHARACTERS 800 STUDENTS AS HIS SCHOOL, MY OLDEST KID, MY OLDEST SON, HIS SCHOOL 2500.

THEY CAN ONLY HAVE 30 OR 40 VEHICLES ON -- ON SITE AND THEY ARE COMING AT ONE PARTICULAR TIME.

THE 15 MINUTE RUSH CAUSES THE STACKING ISSUE THAT BACKS OUT ONTO THE ROADWAY. THAT IS WHERE YOU HAVE TRAFFIC ISSUES SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT WHEN WE DESIGNED THIS SCHOOL THAT WE MADE SURE THAT YOU HAD ALL THE STACKING ON SITE.

WE HAD 188 VEHICLES RIGHT NOW CHARACTERS GOING TO 234, THAT'S AN IMPORTANT ITEM I WANTED TO MENTION.

ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS AND SCOTT MENTIONED THIS AS WELL, THE JERSEY BARRIER. I WAS A TRAFFIC ENGINEER AND APPLICANT ON THIS BACK IN 2018 SO I HAVE AN INCREDIBLE HISTORY OF THIS SCHOOL AND EVERYTHING THAT WENT INVOLVED IN IT.

IF THERE'S ONE THING WE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE BACK IT'S THAT JERSEY BARRIER. THERE WAS A REASON IT WAS PUT IN, THERE'S A MEDIAN IN THAT DROP OFF LANE, IT PROVIDES SEPARATION BETWEEN WHAT WE CALL A BYPASS LANE AND A DROP OFF LANE. WHAT HAPPENS IS SOMETIMES THERE WILL BE A PARENT OR STUDENT THAT IS A LITTLE BIT DELAYED COMING OUT OF THE SCHOOL AND THE NEXT SIX CARS ARE READY TO GO.

WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT JERSEY BARRIER IS PREVENTING PEOPLE FROM BYPASSING THEM AND WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS IT CAUSES A BIT OF DELAY. FORTUNATELY WE HAVE SO MUCH ON SITE STACKING AT THE SCHOOL, IT REALLY HAS NOT BEEN AN ISSUE BUT THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE IT.

WHAT WE ARE DOING IS WE ARE GETTING RID OF THAT JERSEY BARRIER AND WE WILL HAVE TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC.

THIS IS GOING TO PROVIDE OPERATIONAL FLEXIBILITY HERE WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO ONE OF TWO THINGS.

WE WILL BE ABLE TO USE THAT WHOLE AREA AS A BYPASS LANE WHICH WILL INCREASE EFFICIENCY BECAUSE THAT ISSUE THAT I JUST MENTIOND WILL NOT HAPPEN ANYMORE OR WE MAY USE IT AS A TOOL AND DROP OFF OR PICKING. WE WANT TO DO IT FOR DROP OFF, FOR PICK UP A LOT OF SCHOOLS USE TWO LANES FOR PICK UP AND THAT WAY YOU ARE DOUBLING THE AMOUNT OF VEHICLES THAT CAN HAVE KIDS PROCESSED AT ONE TIME. INTO THE CARS.

WE ARE GOING FROM 16 VEHICLES TO 32 VEHICLES, WE THINK THIS WILL HELP QUITE A BIT FROM AN EFFICIENCY STANDPOINT.

DURING THOSE TIMES. THE SCHOOLS WE HAVE BEEN MONITORING TRAFFIC, WE'VE MADE ADJUSTMENTS IN THE PAST THAT CAN GO OVER THOSE, SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN MINOR BUT THEY MAKE A DIFFERENCE. WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT IT

[01:05:01]

SCOTT MENTIONED THIS, ADDITIONAL STAGGERING TIME, THE SCHOOL WILL HAVE FOUR PICKUP AND DROP OFF TIMES TO MINIMIZE IMPACT CURRENTLY THERE IS THREE. I WANT TO GO OVER THIS AGAIN QUICKLY. THIS IS IMPORTANT.

AS I TALKED ABOUT, MOST SCHOOLS HAVE ONE DROP OFF AND PICK UP TIME. THAT IS A HUGE 15 MINUTE 30 MINUTE RUSH OF TRAFFIC AND IT DOES CAUSE TRAFFIC ISSUES.

THE WAY WE ARE MITIGATING TRAFFIC IS THREE IMPORTANT THINGS. ONE OF THEM IS THE STACKING.

WE ARE DISPERSING THAT PEAK OVER TIME SO THE QUEUING DOES NOT BECOME AN ISSUE SO ALL THE TRAFFIC DOES NOT COME IN THAT 1.

THAT IS ONE ITEM. THE OTHER ITEMS I MENTIONED BUT THE SECOND ONE IS THE INCREASE IN THE STACKING CAPACITY ON SITE TO 234 AND THEN ALSO REMOVING THAT JERSEY BARRIER AND IMPROVING THE PROCESSING RATE OF GETTING VEHICLES IN AND OUT.

THOSE ARE THREE IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS WE ARE DOING TO HELP MITIGATE OUR TRAFFIC. ANOTHER HUGE ONE IS AROUND ABOUT THE INTERSECTION OF HILLSBOROUGH AT UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

THIS WILL MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE OVER WHAT IS THERE NOW.

RIGHT NOW IF YOU ARE AWARE IT SAYS FOUR WAY STOP RIGHT THERE, IT'S TECHNICALLY A THREE WAY CHANGE BUT IT'S AN ALWAYS STOP AT HILLSBOROUGH AND UNIVERSITY. ALWAYS STOPS ARE NOT EFFICIENT CONTROL STOP DEVICES. WE HAVE ALWAYS ENVISIONED THAT THAT WOULD BE A TRAFFIC SIGNAL THERE, FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE, WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS THE TRAFFIC VOLUMES ON HILLSBOROUGH UNIVERSITY HAVE JUST NOT YET BEEN HIGH ENOUGH TO MEET THAT.

THE COUNTY HAS VERY SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS, YOU HAVE TO MEET TRAFFIC CONDITIONS FOR EIGHT HOURS TO GET THAT WARRANT AND IT IS JUST NEVER MET THOSE CONDITIONS.

WE HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO PUT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL THERE.

WE HAVE REACHED BACK OUT TO THE COUNTY, WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE MEETINGS AND THEY HAVE GIVEN US APPROVAL TO DO A ROUNDABOUT AT THAT INTERSECTION. WE THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE A TREMENDOUS IMPROVEMENT FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS, DON'T GET ME WRONG, A TRAFFIC SIGNAL WOULD HAVE BEEN FINED, A ROUNDABOUT IS BETTER. JUST TO GIVE SOME ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE, WE ANALYZED THE INTERSECTION AND THE MORNING AND IN THE AFTERNOON AS WELL, THE ROUNDABOUT, THE AVERAGE DELAY THAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE GOING THROUGH IS GOING TO BE ABOUT HALF ABOUT WHAT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL IS AND THAT'S WHEN SCHOOL IS IN OPERATION. ONE OF THE OTHER BIG BENEFITS OF THIS IS WHEN THE SCHOOL IS NOT IN OPERATION, OR TRAFFIC OPERATING HOURS, A THURSDAY AT NOON THERE IS NO SCHOOL TRAFFIC OR ON A SATURDAY, IF YOU'RE JUST DRIVING ON THAT ROAD AND THERE'S A TRAFFIC SIGNAL YOU WILL HIT AROUND EIGHT -- A. RED LIGHT AND YOU'RE WAITING A FEW SECONDS. WITH A ROUNDABOUT YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO BE WAITING A FEW SECONDS TO GET THROUGH THERE.

THE CITY HAS A TON OF ROUNDABOUTS, I WOULD THINK PEOPLE ARE FAIRLY WELL-EQUIPPED TO DRIVE THEM AND UNDERSTAND THEM. PEOPLE MAY DISAGREE WITH THAT BUT THERE'S ALSO HUGE SAFETY BENEFITS TO IT THAT I CAN GO OVER. BUT BOTTOM LINE THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN CRASHES, WE HAVE A ROUNDABOUT WITH A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND THERE IS A HIGHER REDUCTION OF SIGNIFICANT CRASHES WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FATALITIES OR

MAJOR INJURIES. >> FOR THE RECORD I APPRECIATE YOUR EXPLANATION ON TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND ROUNDABOUTS THIS ROUNDABOUT WAS NOT MY IDEA, I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT IS PERFECTLY CLEAR THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I PROPOSED.

NOT THAT I AM AGAINST IT BUT I WANT TO PUT THAT OUT THERE.

>> NOTED. THAT IS THE ROUNDABOUT.

-- TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO BE THERE.

I'LL SHOW YOU THE OPERATIONAL PLAN, THE SCHOOL ZONE WAS MENTIONED BEFORE. THAT IS THERE NOW.

THAT WILL REMAIN. WE DO MEET ALL APPLICABLE LEVEL OF SERVICE AND TRAFFIC REQUIREMENTS.

HERE IS A TRAFFIC OPERATIONAL PLAN, WE WILL GO THROUGH THIS FAIRLY BRIEFLY. I APOLOGIZE, HARD FOR ME TO SEE SO I WILL GUESS WHAT THE COLORS SHOWED AND WHAT YOU SEE IN BLUE IS THE PEDESTRIAN PATH SO YOU CAN SEE THE ROUNDABOUT THERE JUST TO NOTE, THE ROUNDABOUT DESIGN IS NOT FINALIZED, WE ARE WORKING ON THAT WITH THE CITY AND THE COUNTY, AND THE BLESSING. THE BLUE PATH IS THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING, DEPENDING ON WHAT THE ULTIMATE DESIGN, THE CROSSING WILL BE AT THE ROUNDABOUT IF THEY'RE COMING FROM THE SOUTH OR POSSIBLY OVER TO THE WEST OF THE DRIVEWAY ACROSS UNIVERSITY, THEY

[01:10:01]

YOU DON'T HAVE TO CROSS ALL THOSE, YOU CAN GET AROUND TO THE

NORTH THERE. >> JUST ONE MORE THING, ALL THE ROUNDABOUTS. I ASSUME WE ARE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE ULTIMATE POTENTIAL OF HILLSBOROUGH GOING

ALL THE WAY THROUGH? >> YES, WHEN THAT OCCURS, IF AND WHEN THAT OCCURS BECAUSE I REMEMBER THAT BEING THE DISCUSSION TOPIC A LONG TIME AGO AS WELL, THEY WOULD CONNECT TO

THE ROUNDABOUT. >> IF YOU LOOK AT THE GREEN LINES THEY ARE, THAT IS THE DOUBLE STACKING.

THAT IS THERE NOW EXCEPT THIS IS BEING EXTENDED.

IT'S 188 NOW AND AS I MENTIONED% IT'S GONE TO 234.

WHEN YOU COME INTO THE SITE, FOR THOSE THAT MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH THE OPERATIONS, YOU CIRCULATE ALL THE WAY AROUND THE SITE, ALL THE WAY UP NORTH, THEN YOU COME BACK TO THE FRONT OF THE SCHOOL WHERE YOU HAVE THE DROP OFF.

YOU CAN SEE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE THERE, SOME BOXES.

THAT IS WHERE THE DROP OFF AND PICK UP AREA IS AND THEN YOU CIRCULATE AROUND TO THE EXIT. THERE ARE BSO OFFICERS THERE, WE HAVE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL THAT WILL NOT BE ON THIS MEETING BUT ON THE MAY 20TH MEETING WHERE IT SPECIFIES WHERE WE HAVE TO HAVE THOSE CROSSING GUARDS IN THE TRAFFIC CONTROL OFFICERS AS WELL TO ASSIST WITH TRAFFIC. SO I WANT TO GO OVER THIS, THIS IS AN IMPORTANT AS WELL, I KEEP TALKING ABOUT THIS, I WILL SCROLL BACK ONE MORE EXAMPLE HERE.

IF YOU SEE THE TOP THERE, IN THE ORANGE YOU WILL SEE FOUR LINES GOING WESTBOUND DIRECTION, THAT IS WHERE THE PARKING LOT IS.

WHAT I WANT TO MAKE MENTION IS THIS IS ACTUALLY IT IS NOT GOING TO BE NEEDED BUT THIS IS AN OVERFLOW LANE.

SAY FOR EXAMPLE THAT THERE WAS SOME ISSUE FOR STACKING WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH, WE COULD ACTUALLY STACK MORE VEHICLES DOUBLE STACK THEM IN THOSE LANES TO CREATE ADDITIONAL CAPACITY.

THAT'S ACTUALLY THE CURRENT SITUATION, WE HAVE THAT IN THE CURRENT OPERATIONAL PLAN FOR THE SCHOOL.

WE HAVE NEVER HAD TO USE IT BUT JUST AS A BUILT IN SUSPENDERS FAIL-SAFE, METIS MENTIONED WE COULD EITHER GET MORE VEHICLES ON SITE IF WE EVEN NEEDED TO. WHAT WE HAVE IS 234, THAT'S JUST ON SITE. THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE TURN LANES. THAT IS STACKING INTERNALLY BEFORE A DROP OFF LINE. THE ADDITIONAL DRIVE HOURS I TALKED ABOUT IN ORANGE WE CAN ACTUALLY GET AN EXTRA 61 VEHICLES, WE WILL NOT NEED IT BUT WE COULD.

THEN THE EGRESS LINE AS YOU EXIT THE SCHOOL, THERE'S AN EXTRA 62 THERE AND THEN WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE TURN LANES, ON HILLSBOROUGH, THE LEFT TURN LANE INTO THE SCHOOL AND THE RIGHT TURN LANE INTO THE SCHOOL THAT'S AN EXTRA 38 VEHICLES.

JUST TO GIVE ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE, THE AMOUNT OF VEHICLES THEORETICALLY WE COULD STACK THAT KEEPS TRAFFIC OFF THE ROAD, IT'S ABOUT 395 VEHICLES WHICH IS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT, ONE THING I DO WANT TO MAKE MENTION AS A LITTLE BIT OF A PROUD MOMENT WHEN I WAS SPEAKING TO THE COUNTY ABOUT THIS, WE HAD MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS BUT LAST WEEK WE WERE HAVING A FURTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT THE ROUNDABOUT AND THEY MENTIONED THEY CAME OUT AND LOOKED AT THE SITE AND SAID THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTY THAT DOESN'T HAVE STACKING ISSUES AND REALLY APPRECIATED THE DESIGN OF IT AND HOW IT KEPT VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD AND OBVIOUSLY WE WENT THROUGH GREAT LENGTHS BACK IN 2018 TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENED. ONE MORE THING BEFORE I GET TO THIS SLIDE, WE MENTIONED THE STAGGERED TIMES, IT CAN BE A TENTATIVE TIME SCHEDULE OF WHAT THAT WILL BE, THE STAGGERED TIMES. MAY FLUCTUATE A BIT AND MAY CHANGE SLIGHTLY BUT WE COORDINATE THAT WITH THE CITY.

THE INTENT IS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, THE NINTH THROUGH 12TH GRADE, THEY WOULD BE FROM 7:30 TO 2:15, THE K THROUGH SECOND GRADE WOULD BE 8:00 TO 2:45, AND THE THIRD TO FIFTH WOULD BE 8:15 TO 3:15 AND SIX TO EIGHT WOULD BE 8:45 TO 3:45.

THE AFTERNOON DISMISSAL WE WOULD TRY TO KEEP ABOUT HALF AN HOUR APART BETWEEN THOSE AND WE FIND THAT GENERALLY WORKS WELL.

ONCE AGAIN THAT MAY FLUCTUATE A BIT YEAR TO YEAR AND THAT WOULD BE COORDINATED WITH THE CITY. A COUPLE OF BRIEF THINGS ON THAT TRAFFIC STUDY THAT I FOUND INTERESTING WHEN I WAS REVIEWING THIS THAT MIGHT BE WORTHWHILE, I DID THE ORIGINAL TRAFFIC STUDY BACK IN 2018 AND 2019, AT THE TIME WE WERE PROJECTING TRAFFIC A LOT OF THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AT THAT TIME WAS NOT ACTUALLY BUILT. SO WE WERE PROJECTING THAT TRAFFIC OUT ONTO THE ROADWAY AND WHAT WE ASSUMED WAS THE ULTIMATE BUILD OUT THAT YEAR WE DID THE STUDY IT WAS 2019 AND THAT LAYERED IN OUR PROJECT TRAFFIC FOR THE SCHOOL, ALL OF THAT RESIDENTIAL TRAFFIC. COINCIDENTALLY THE TRAFFIC THAT WE ACTUALLY EXPERIENCE OUT HERE NOW AND 20 AND THE COUNTS WE COLLECTED WERE PEAK SEASON WERE ACTUALLY LESS THAN THE TRAFFIC WE PROJECTED BACK AT THE TIME PROJECTING TO 2019.

[01:15:04]

IF I'M ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND I DECIDE I NEED TO GO INTO PUBLIX AND GRAB SOME FOOD, THE PUBLIX IS ON MY WAY HOME, I'M TURNING INTO IT AND THEN LEAVING AND GOING HOME.

I'M NOT ACTUALLY ADDING TRIPS TO THE ROAD I'M TURNING IN AND TURNING OUT. THE SAME THING HAPPENS FOR SCHOOLS. WHEN I DROPPED MY KIDS OFF AT SCHOOL I'M ON MY WAY TO WORK IN THE MORNING AND I AM JUST DROPPING MY KID OFF AND THAT IS ACTUALLY RUNNING ON MY ROUTE AND THEN I'M GOING. I'M NOT CREATING NECESSARILY A NEW TRIP. THE SAME THING HAPPENS AT THE SCHOOL. IT'S NOT 100% OBVIOUSLY BUT WHEN WE DO THE TRAFFIC STUDY WE ASSUMED 0% OF THE TRAFFIC IS ACTUALLY WHAT WE CALL PASSEDBY TRAFFIC.

SO THERE WAS SOME PERCENTAGE THAT DO THAT AND SO BECAUSE OF THAT IT TENDS TO BE A LITTLE BIT CONSERVATIVE AMONG OTHER THINGS.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AFTER THIS, I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS PRESENTATION FOR A WHILE AND I APPRECIATE YOU LISTENING TO ME. I WILL TURN THIS OVER.

>> MAYOR WALKER: ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

ON THE TRAFFIC. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT, IT WAS HELPFUL, IT IS A LOT BUT IT'S HELPFUL.

THE QUESTION I HAVE FIRST IS ABOUT THE STAGGERING.

I PERSONALLY LOVE OUR ROUNDABOUTS BUT I THINK THAT AREA COULD BECOME PROBLEMATIC WITH A ROUNDABOUT BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT IS A TRAFFIC GUARD AND THAT MEANS THERE IS A STOPPED PROGRESS OF A, LITTLE DUCKLINGS, WHERE THE ROUNDABOUT YOU HAVE A CONTINUOUS FLOW OF TRAFFI AND SO WHAT I WORRY ABOUT IS USUALLY WHEN YOU HAVE EVERYONE OUT OF SCHOOL AT ONE TIME THE TRAFFIC GUARD IS MANAGING BUT IF YOU'RE STAGGERING YOU ARE CREATING A PERSISTENT FLOW OF STUDENTS OVER A LONGER.

OF TIME WHICH TO ME I THINK WOULD IMPEDE TRAFFIC.

>> THE WAY I WOULD ANSWER THAT THERE ARE TRADE OFFS, ONE OF THE ADVANTAGES IF YOU HAVE EVERYBODY COMING IN AT ONE PARTICULAR TIME, THEN AT LEAST YOU GET IT OVER WITH IN 15 TO 30 MINUTES.

HOWEVER, WE HAVE FOUND THAT IT JUST MANAGES THE TRAFFIC FLOW BETTER BY DISPERSING THAT OVER A.

SO YOU DON'T HAVE THAT SAME QUEUING ISSUE AND FRANKLY FOR THE PARENTS IT HELPS OUT AS WELL BECAUSE THEY ARE NOW NOT SITTING IN LINE FOR 45 MINUTES BECAUSE THERE'S THIS NONSTOP LINE THAT

IS THERE. >> I, I THINK IT'S THE BEST OF THE EVILS, MY -- I. WANT TO SUPPORT THIS AS MUCH AS I CAN, PARKLAND WHERE ABOUT EDUCATION, THIS IS WHAT WE STAND FOR AND OF COURSE THE SUCCESS OF SOMERSET IS INDICATIVE OF WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. EVERYONE OBVIOUSLY HAD THEIR CONCERNS FIRST OF ALL BUT I JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE WE ARE CLEAR ON WHAT IS MADE AND SUCCESSFUL NOW IS NOT GOING TO BE CHANGED WHEN YOU TAKE IT TO THAT NEXT LEVEL.

YOU TALKED ABOUT THE INGRESS VEHICLE ON SITE STACKING, WE GO FROM 188 TO 234. IN THAT SHORT TERM THAT SOUNDS LIKE FEASIBLE, BUT IF YOU ARE NOW THINKING AT 168 KIDS PER GRADE, NINE THROUGH 12, I'M GOING TO DO MY MATH HERE BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SCHOOL, YOU'RE LOOKING TO ADD ANOTHER WHAT DID I HAVE HERE, ANOTHER 672 KIDS TOTAL.

>> NOT TOTAL CACTUS HIGH SCHOOL. >> JUST HIGH SCHOOL, HOW MANY OF THEM WILL DRIVE, YOU'VE SAID YOU'VE ADDING 34 SPACES FOR STUDENTS, WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER KIDS WHO WILL BE PARKING OR

DRIVING TO SCHOOL? >> WE CAN LIMIT, AND PRINCIPAL CAN TALK ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT MORE AS FAR AS THERE IS CRITERIA FOR WHAT ACADEMIC WHEN I GIVE DRIVER PASSES OUT, THEY HAVE TO MEET CERTAIN LEVELS OF ACADEMICS.

>> WE WILL LET HER ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.

FOR HIM CALCULUS TRIED TO LIMIT TRAFFIC QUESTIONS THEN WE WILL

PASS IT ON. >> THAT BECOMES A TRAFFIC

QUESTION, I KNOW. >> THE POINT REMAINED HOW DOES IT WORK STILL WITH THAT AND THEY'RE STILL GOING TO BE LIMITED. THOSE THREE THINGS ARE IMPORTANT. THE COMBINATION OF THOSE THREE THINGS WHERE WE'RE ADDING THE EXTRA SPACES, GOING FROM ONE TO EIGHT TO 234, ADDING THAT EXTRA STAGGER SO IT WAS NOT CONDENSING IT TOO TIGHT, AND NUMBER 3, IMPROVING THAT JERSEY BARRIER ISSUE WE HAVE RIGHT NOW WITH A DROP OFF AND PICK UP.

WE HAVE DATA ON THESE KINDS OF THINGS, WHEN YOU HAVE 168 STUDENTS PARTICULARLY IN THE AFTERNOON IT DOES NOT MEAN 168 PARENTS AND VEHICLES ARE COMING AT ONE TIME.

THERE IS CARPOOLING, THERE IS WALKERS WE HAVE A DECENT AMOUNT OF PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS WHICH IS GREAT.

AND YOU HAVE AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS AS WELL. BUT PROBABLY MAYBE TO GIVE IT, IT THE COMBINATION OF ALL OF THAT BUT THE OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS ARE, THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL THAT WE HAVE HERE WE HAVE THESE CHECKS AND BALANCES, WE HAVE TO BE MONITORING, GO OUT THERE AND DO THE TRAFFIC STUDY AND TO GET INTO A LITTLE BIT

[01:20:01]

WE CANNOT IN OUR CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL WE HAVE A CAP OF 1700 UNTIL WE DEMONSTRATE THROUGH TRAFFIC STUDIES THROUGH ACTUALLY GOING OUT THERE IN THE FIELD, MEASURING THE DATA THAT IT STILL

WORKS. >> FOR THOSE CONDITIONS WERE DESIGNED AROUND THAT NUMBER OF STUDENTS, RIGHT?

>> THOSE ARE OUR FUTURE CONDITIONS.

>> THOSE ARE PRIOR CONDITIONS RIGHT?

>> IF I MAY, TRAFFIC FOR THE CITY, THOSE CONDITIONS WILL BE ALSO CARRIED OVER TO THE NEW APPROVAL.

>> WHAT I'M SAYING THOSE CONDITIONS ASIDE FROM THE CONTINUOUS MONITORING, THAT'S HELPFUL BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS IN AN ABSOLUTE STANDARD, YOU'RE SAYING, HEY, WE HAVE NOW REDUCED -- WE WERE AT 17% BELOW WHAT THE MAXIMUM EXPECTED TRAFFIC WAS IN THE AFTERNOON. IS THAT BASED ON THE PREDICTION OF, HEY, HERE IS WHAT WE HAD AS 100,000, 110,000 SQUARE FEET WITH THE STUDENTS OR ARE YOU SAYING EVEN ON A GOING FORWARD BASIS, EVEN IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO BRING IT TO 2100 STUDENTS THOSE

CONDITIONS STILL SUFFICE? >> THEY STILL SUFFICE.

WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE WITH THE CONDITION IS THE TRAFFIC OPERATIONS. THE MONITORING PROGRAM HAS A VERY GOOD COMPONENT THAT IS NOT ON THE OTHER SCHOOLS WHICH IS THE STAGGERING THAT YOU WERE REFERRING TO.

THIS ABOUT 600 NEW STUDENTS THAT ARE GOING TO COME INTO THE SCHOOL, THEY ARE NOT COMING ON TOP OF THE STUDENTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY GOING TO THERE BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THEY HAVE -- THEY ARE USING THREE PERIODS AND WE ARE CREATING A FOURTH.

>> I DON'T WANT TO CONFUSE THINGS, THEY ARE STILL ADDING A

NUMBER OF STUDENT. >> WE'RE ADDING THE STUDENTS.

>> THE STAGGERING IS A DIFFERENT ISSUE.

>> IT IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE UNLIKE THE OTHER SCHOOLS WHERE YOU HAVE 1500 STUDENTS AND NOW YOU ADD IT TO 2000, YOU ARE ADDING 500 TRIPS OF NEW TRAFFIC AT THE SAME TIME,.

>> I GET IT BUT IN A SHORT TERM I CAN SIT HERE AND SAY, A ONE YEAR THIS LOOKS GREAT BUT THAT WOULD NOT BE DOING MY JOB MY JOB IS TO LOOK AT ONCE WE ARE AT FULL CAPACITY.

>> WE ARE LOOKING AT THE FULL CAPACITY.

BUT WHAT WE ARE FAILING TO EXPLAIN RIGHT NOW IS THE STAGGERING THE 500 STUDENTS ARE COMING ON THEIR OWN TIME NOT ON

TOP OF THE OTHER 1500. >> I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT YOU GUYS SAY YOU WILL BE OFFERING SUPPORT AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THIS SEPARATELY I GET IT BUT TO ME EVEN IF YOU STAGGER THIS EXTRACURRICULARS, THE SPORTS. I SAW ON THE PRESENTATION YOU GUYS ARE PLANNING ON ADDING TRACK AND FIELD, SOCCER, CROSS COUNTRY, GOLF, FLAG FOOTBALL, VOLLEYBALL AND BASKETBALL I THINK THAT'S FANTASTIC, NUMBER 1 WAIT WHERE IS IT GOING AND NUMBER 2 IS IF YOU GET ON THAT CIRCUIT, HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TEAMS COMING I WOULD PRESUME TO YOUR FACILITY TO PLAY THERE WHICH MEANS NOW YOU HAVE EXTERNAL TRAFFIC AND PEOPLE COMING TO THE CITY. I WANT ALL OF THAT I'M TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE'RE PLAYING OUT WHERE THIS GOES.

>> THOSE HAPPENS AT A DIFFERENT TIME THEN NOT GOING TO COME FOR THE SCHOOL THE EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES FOR A SPORT EVENT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME THAT THEY'RE DROPPING OFF THEIR STUDENTS. SO IT WILL BE A DIFFERENT TRAFFIC AT A DIFFERENT TIME. AND THE CAPACITY IS GOING TO BE THERE TO ADDRESS THAT TRAFFIC FOR THAT EVENT SEPARATELY FROM THE DROP OFF. SO THE SAME THING HAPPENS FOR THE DROP OFF, WE ARE ADDING 500 STUDENTS BUT WE ARE NOT ADDING THAT ON TOP OF THE DROP OFF THAT HAPPENS RIGHT NOW.

>> MAYBE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION MORE DIRECTLY THAN WHAT YOU'RE ASKING, IN THAT TRAFFIC STUDY THE OPERATIONAL WE DO DATA COLLECTION OUT THERE, WE EXTRAPOLATE THAT DATA OUT FOR 2100 STUDENTS. WE ARE LOOKING AT THE BIG PICTURE, THE FULL 2100 STUDENTS BASED ON CURRENT DATA THAT IS OUT THERE NOW AND PROJECTING EXTRAPOLATING THAT OUT BASED ON

THE NUMBERS THAT WE HAVE. >> I ASSUME BASED ON THOSE NUMBERS THAT'S WHY YOU ADDED THE FOURTH.

>> CORRECT. >> LISTEN, I CHAIR COMMISSIONER I'M A BIG FAN, I LOVE WHAT THEY'RE DOING BUT I DO HAVE PROBLEMS AND CONCERNS ABOUT THE TRAFFIC.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE WAY IT EXISTS NOW IS SERVICING ABOUT 1000 STUDENTS AND THAT PROPOSAL IS TAKING THAT AND MORE THAN DOUBLING IT TO 2100 STUDENTS. AND I GET IT THAT 600 OF THOSE STUDENTS ARE GOING TO COME IN A FOURTH.

FOR STAGGERING BUT THERE'S ALSO GOING TO BE ANOTHER 500 STUDENTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE IN THE PRIOR STAGGERED.

>> WITHIN THE PRIOR THREE. >> WE'RE TALKING ABOUT

[01:25:04]

FEET. >> IT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED.

>> IT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED FOR 100 SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 35% HIGHER, IT WAS APPROVED FOR 180 STUDENTS AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ALMOST DOUBLING THAT NOW AND SO I DON'T THINK IT WAS EVER ENVISIONED THAT THIS WOULD BE A HIGH SCHOOL AND THAT WAS PART OF IT. THE TRAFFIC CONCERNS I SHARE WITH COMMISSIONER ISROW. I HAVE SOME OTHER CONCERNS TO TALK ABOUT LATER BUT THOSE I CERTAINLY SHARE.

>> I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT CURRENT CONDITIONS.

YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO STACK 188 CARS CURRENTLY.

THE SCHOOL IS RUNNING AT 80% OF ITS APPROVED CAPACITY.

ARE YOU CURRENTLY STACKING 188 CARS TO CAPACITY OR ARE YOU USING TURN LANES? IS IT LEAKING ON TO HILLSBOROUGH

UNIVERSITY AS IT SITS? >> NO, WE ARE NOT -- FULLY UTILIZING THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT NECESSARILY NEEDED TO.

THE WAY WE -- THE WAY THE OPERATIONS WORK IS WE WILL USE ONE LANE AND THE OTHER LANE WILL ACTUALLY BE UTILIZED FOR EARLY ARRIVING PARENT FOR THE NEXT ARRIVAL TIME.

SIMPLY BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MUCH CAPACITY WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT. WE'RE NOT EVEN FULLY UTILIZING 188 BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT NEEDED TO.

>> ON AN AVERAGE DAY WHAT WOULD YOU SAY YOU WERE AN -- USING?

>> 130 MAYBE. >> I CAN LOOK UP THAT DATA BUT IT WOULD BE SOMEWHERE AROUND 120 TO 130.

>> 230 STACKING TO ME IS A HUGE NUMBER BECAUSE IF YOU JUST TAKE 2100 STUDENTS, 238, YOU ARE GETTING THROUGH THAT QUICK AND I THINK THE FACT THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO GO THROUGH A TWO-LANE BYPASS I WAS NOT AWARE THAT YOU ONLY HAD THE ONE LANE.

THAT REALLY SLOWS THINGS DOWN TREMENDOUSLY SO NOW GOING INTO THE TWO-LANE HAVING 32, YOU ARE DROPPING OFF SIGNIFICANTLY FASTER THAN YOU CAN AT THIS POINT.

>> CORRECT, THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF IT.

TRYING TO IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY BECAUSE IT SLOWS THINGS DOWN.

DON'T GET ME WRONG I FULLY RECOGNIZE THAT CONCERNED WITH TRAFFIC WERE INCREASING STUDENTS, IT FUNCTIONS FINE TODAY, HOW WILL A FUNCTION AS AS LATER, I FULLY RECOGNIZE THAT AND THAT'S WHY WE SPEND A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TIME GOING THROUGH THESE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL THAT HAVE MITIGATION MECHANISMS IN THERE AS WELL AS GOING THROUGH THIS OPERATIONAL PLAN TO HAVE THOSE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT.

THE ADDITIONAL STAGGERING, THE REMOVAL OF THE JERSEY BARRIER, MAKING SURE THAT THOSE OFFICERS OUT THERE CORRECT THE ROUNDABOUTS. ALL OF THAT AND THAT CHECKS AND

BALANCES. >> WHEN THIS ORIGINALLY CAME UP BACK IN 2018, IT WAS ALL ANYBODY WAS TALKING ABOUT WAS TRAFFIC.

THAT HAS NOT MATERIALIZED. I HAVE NOT NOTICED ANY SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC DELAYS OR CONGESTION OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT AT SOMERSET. I'M NOT GOING TO SAY THAT THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN WHEN YOU DOUBLE IT BUT FOR ME,.ORG 238 CARS, IF YOU DO THE MATH, 2100, THAT IS TEN TIMES.

BUT YOU'RE ALSO DOUBLING THE ABILITY TO DROP OFF.

WHICH, JUST DOING THAT ALONE, WILL SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE ANY POTENTIAL STACKING. YOU WILL STILL HAVE STACKING BUT EVEN IF YOU DID NOT ADD THE ADDITIONAL STACKING, JUST THE BYPASS LANE ALONE IS GOING TO SAVE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME.

I SAY THAT, WHEN I DRIVE MY KIDS OFF AT PARK TRAILS MSD OR WEST GLADES, YOU WILL GET STACKING FALL DOWN HOLMBERG, OBVIOUSLY YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE THAT SAME SITUATION BECAUSE MOST OF THE SCHOOLS WITHIN OUR CITY LIMITS IF THEY HAVE 50 I WOULD BE SHOCKED IF THE SCHOOLS EVEN HAD THAT MUCH.

>> I AGREE WITH YOU, THE STACKING HELPS BECAUSE EVEN WITH A STAGGERING BECAUSE REMOVING CARS IN AND OUT RATHER THAN CARS SITTING THERE. THE ONE DYNAMIC THAT IS DIFFERENT WITH SOME OF THE OTHER SCHOOLS IS THERE IS NO BUSSES.

ALL THE KIDS GET DROPPED OFF HERE, ALL THE KIDS EITHER WILL DRIVE CAN'T GET DROPPED OFF, WALK OR RIDE THEIR BIKE.

THERE WAS NO BUSSES. I THINK THAT IS ONE OF THE OTHER CONCERNS, IT IS WORKING NOW AND I AGREE WITH YOU, IS NOT A TREMENDOUS TRAFFIC IMPEDIMENT NOW WILL DOUBLING IT.

>> THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY DOUBLING OR VERY CLOSE TO DOUBLING THEIR STACKING BUT I THINK WHAT IS THE BYPASS LANE, YOU ARE NOTHAT

[01:30:05]

>> IT WILL BE TWICE AS FAST, DROP OFFS AND PICKUPS WILL BE

TWICE AS FAST AS THEY ARE NOW. >> CORRECT.

>> CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOR AND GO BACK TO THE SLIDE THAT HAD A TRAFFIC FLOW. THERE YOU GO.

I'M CURIOUS, YOU HAD ON YOUR CALCULATION YOU SAID IT WAS ABOUT AN ADDED 20 STACKING CAPACITY VEHICLES FOR THE HILLSBOROUGH LEFT TURN LANE. WHERE EXACTLY IS THAT GOING TO

STACK? >> THAT EXISTING NOW WHEN WE ORIGINALLY DID THE SCHOOL WE EXTENDED THAT TURN LANE APPEARED ON THE SCREEN ON HILLSBOROUGH RIGHT NOW IT IS NOT REALLY SHOWN OTHER THAN THE AERIAL, THAT IS JUST THE OFF SIDE LEFT TURN LANE

INTO THE SCHOOL. >> COMING FROM THE EAST OR WEST?

>> COMING FROM THE WEST, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO

THE SCHOOL IN FACT I MAY HAVE. >> THEY ADDED THAT TURN LANE.

>> WHAT YOU WERE TRYING TO SHOW WAS EXISTING.

>> THAT IS NOW MORE UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE TOTAL

STACKING IS. >> THYROID IS.

>> THE BOULEVARD RIGHT TURN LANE AND WHERE ARE THOSE?

ARE THOSE BOTH THE SAME? >> THAT IF YOU'RE COMING FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU'RE COMING FROM THE EAST AND YOU ARE THEN GOING AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO THE SCHOOL.

>> 11 WATERCRAFT AND SO THERE IS TIMES WHERE --/END.

GOD BLESS YOU TO TRY TO GET PARENTS TO COME AT SPECIFIC STAGGERED TIMES THEY WILL ALL SHOW UP BECAUSE THEY HAVE SOMEONE PASSED THEM AND WENT TO PUBLIX AND WHY AM I GOING TO DRIVE HOME WHEN I CAN SIT IN MY CAR AND SCROLL ON FACEBOOK FOR THREE HOURS. I WORRY THAT WITH GREAT INTENTIONS YOU WILL STILL HAVE SOME CHALLENGES.

WHAT I WORRY ABOUT IS WITH ADDING THAT MANY KIDS, AND WE HAVE TO STILL PLAY OUT THAT POSSIBILITY, YOU GUYS ARE ALREADY ANTICIPATING SO WE HAVE TO ANTICIPATE YOU ANTICIPATING IT. MY CONCERN IS THAT WILL BECOME WHATEVER -- IF N ONE, EVEN IF IT DOESN'T GO INTO THE CITY AT SOME POINT IT WILL BE DEVELOPED. THERE IS ALSO TALK ABOUT DEVELOPMENT AT THE GOLF CLUB, ALL I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IS WHAT WILL THIS LOOK LIKE 20 YEARS FROM NOW, THIS CORNER WHERE I WORRY IT COULD BECOME A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MOVING HILLSBOROUGH AND CUTTING A THROUGH, THAT IS GOING TO CREATE THIS THING INTO A MAJOR ARTERY OF THE CITY.

I'M JUST NEEDING HELP FROM YOU GUYS TO PAINT THIS PICTURE AND I GET IT IT IS NOT YOUR JOB TO PLAN OUR CITY BUT IT'S OUR JOB TO PLAN THE CITY AND I NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS CHANGE

DOESN'T CREATE WAVES. >> TO YOUR POINT, YOU MAKE A GREAT POINT BUT ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK THAT COULD HAPPEN DOWN THE LINE IS IF IT DOES BECOME THAT MUCH TRAFFIC AND ALL THOSE THINGS WHICH IT VERY WELL COULD, WE PROBABLY WOULD BE ABLE TO WARRANT A TRAFFIC LIGHT SO THAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY CHANGE

FROM AROUND THAT. >> TRAFFIC IS NOT MY ULTIMATE CONCERN, IT IS JUST THE QUALITY OF LIFE.

SELL HAD SAID THERE WITH A LITTLE METER AND SAY LOOK HOW FAST THESE CARS ARE FLOWING, NO STOPPING, THIS NO STOP TRAFFIC.

BUT IT STILL CHANGES THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR RESIDENTS.

IF YOU'RE SITTING IN A SLOWER PACE BEHIND, NOW YOU HAVE AN EXTRA 700 KIDS I GET IT, THEY MAY NOT BE DRIVING, SOME MIGHT BE RIDING THEIR BIKES TO EVEN OUTSIDE A PARKLAND.

YOU'RE ADDING A WHOLE NOTHER LAYER TO OUR CURRENT INFRASTRUCTURE WITH -- WHICH AGAIN I'M HAPPY TO DO AS LONG AS WE KNOW WE ARE NOT CREATING UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES AND RUINING SOMETHING THAT'S ALREADY GREAT.

YOU DON'T WANT TO NOW ACTUALLY TRIED TO IMPROVE IT BY INCREASING IT AND NOW YOU'VE ACTUALLY WATERED DOWN AND DENIGRATED THE WHOLE THING. I WANT TO SUPPORT IT BUT AS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, IT IS HARD FOR ME TO ENVISION YOU GUYS HAVING THE SAME SUCCESS AT A LARGER SCALE WITH ONLY THE SAME FINITE FOOTPRINT. THAT'S WHAT I WORRY ABOUT.

>> I SHARE THE WORRIES, WE HAVE OTHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN THE CITY THAT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH 1000 STUDENTS AND A LOT OF THOSE ARE ON BUSSES AND WE ARE NOT.

>> THERE'S NOT A LOT ON BUSSES. >> OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS DON'T

HAVE A LOT OF BUSSES. >> SOME OF THEM ARE.

>> SOME BUT NOT A LOT. ONE OF THE STIPULATIONS WE MADE WITH SOMERSET ORIGINALLY WAS THEY COULD NOT HAVE BUSSES.

>> THAT WILL CREATE ANOTHER HEADACHE.

>> AGAIN, I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SOMERSET HAS SHOWN WITH THEIR ORIGINAL PLAN WITH THE AMOUNT OF STACKING IS THAT

IT DOESN'T IMPEDE. >> I HAVE GONE BACK.

>> IF YOU GO TO MSD, YOU GO TO WEST GLADES, EVEN COUNTRY HILLS,

[01:35:01]

>> F GO BACK AND I HAVE READ OR LISTENED TO MUCH OF WHAT YOU GUYS WENT THROUGH SIX YEARS AGO, EIGHT YEARS AGO WHEN YOU WENT THROUGH THIS AND ADMIRE YOU FOR DOING IT AND I KNOW THERE WAS A 4:00 A.M. MEETING AND EVERYTHING ELSE BUT THAT WAS WITH THE IDEA THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE K THROUGH EIGHT AND CAPPED AT 1280 AND I AGREE, IT IS GREAT NOW. IT IS NOT NEARLY THE TRAFFIC NIGHTMARE JUST TALKING ABOUT TRAFFIC THAT PEOPLE WERE ENVISIONING THEN. MY CONCERN IS ARE WE GOING TO MESS UP SOMETHING THAT IS WORKING NOW AND COULD BE ONE OF THE BOTTLENECKS THROUGH OUR CITY ULTIMATELY OR ONE OF THE MAIN

THOROUGHFARES THROUGH OUR CITY. >> TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE FUTURE WHEN THE SCHOOL IS FULLY OPERATIONAL.

THE 2000, STUDENTS. AND WE ARE NOT DOUBLING THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS AS FAR AS HOW THEY ARRIVE.

FOR THE COMPARISON, RIGHT NOW THE HIGHEST PEAK IS AROUND 500 STUDENTS COMING AT ONE TIME. IN THE FUTURE THEY'RE GOING TO GO TO ABOUT 630 STUDENTS COMING AT ONE TIME.

SO ONLY 130 INCREASE OF VEHICLES COMING AT ONE TIME NOT DOUBLING.

>> IT GETS TO A LITTLE BIT OF THAT BECAUSE IT RELATES TO TRAFFIC. I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND IF WE'RE ADDING JUST FOUR GRADES THAT ARE EACH ABOUT 150 STUDENTS WHY THE APPLICANT REQUEST IS, I KNOW WE WILL GET TO IT LATER BUT

TO INCREASE IT BY 900 STUDENTS. >> ADDING TO THE OTHER GRADES AS WELL BEYOND WHAT IS ALREADY CAPPED AT.

>> MAYOR, IF I CAN, IT'S EXACTLY THE QUESTION THAT VICE MAYOR BRIER JUST ASKED. CAN WE FINISH THE PRESENTATION WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE TO GO THROUGH AND THEN WE'RE HAPPY TO SIT HERE FOR HOURS AND TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING.

>> ONE THING YOU NEED TO MENTION WHICH YOU ALLUDED TO BRIEFLY IS YOU SAID WITH THE TRAFFIC YOU CAN'T EXPAND UNTIL YOU MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA, WHAT ARE THOSE NUMBERS? YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT 1700,.

>> WHAT IT IS, IT IS A COMPLIANCE THAT WE HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE THAT WE ARE NOT HAVING HUMAN ISSUES THAT ARE EXTENDING OUT TO HILLSBOROUGH AND UNIVERSITY BLOCKING THE THROUGH LANES, AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME.

THAT'S THE MAIN ONE TO ENSURE AN ON SITE QUEUING IS NOT BACKING UP SO WE HAVE TO GO OUT THERE AND DO FIELD COUNTS AND VERIFY THAT AND WE HAVE TO DO ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS AT THE DRIVEWAYS, INTERSECTIONS AND EVEN THE ENTRANCES TO CITY PARK AND MIRALAGO TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE FUNCTIONING SUFFICIENTLY.

THERE IS A LIST OF ITEMS, IT'S TO MAKE SURE THAT THE QUEUING IS NOT GOING OUT, AND THEN NOTING THAT THEY WILL HAVE A FEW EXTRA HUNDRED STUDENTS AFTER THIS, EXTRAPOLATING THAT DATA TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ON SITE QUEUING CAN HANDLE IT.

>> WHAT OTHER CAPACITY CAPS THAT THOSE ARE HITTING AT?

>> 1700 STUDENTS, WE CANNOT GET PAST 1700 STUDENTS.

>> THE SINGLE STOPLIGHT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS, THERE'S ONLY ONE. 1700, IS NOT LIKE THERE'S ONE AT

1700, ONE AT 1900. >> YES OR NO, WE CANNOT GET IT PAST 1700 BUT THERE IS MONITORING AGREEMENT WHERE WE HAVE TO DO ESSENTIALLY THE SAME THING EVERY YEAR AND IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WE ARE REQUIRED TO MITIGATE IT OTHERWISE IT BECOMES A CODE VIOLATION. IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY THAT HARD NUMBER CAP BUT IT IS A CODE COMPLIANT THAT WE WOULD BE VIOLATING THAT WE HAVE TO FIX OPERATIONALLY SO WE WANT TO KEEP INCREASING IF WE HAVE A CODE COMPLIANCE THAT WE CANNOT FIX IF

THAT MAKES SENSE. >> WOULD WE NOT JUST BE TALKING ABOUT OR COMPARING APPLES TO ORANGES RIGHT NOW.

IF WE ARE TALKING ABOUT BEING ABLE TO HIT THE 1700 THRESHOLD OR WHATEVER THAT'S BECAUSE YOU ARE SATISFYING WITH THE COMMISSION THAT WERE DESIGNED BASED ON THE 110,000 SQUARE FOOT

RIGHT? >> NO, BECAUSE I WAS ONLY 1280.

>> WE ARE GOING THROUGH AND AMENDING THE DEVELOPMENT AND UPDATING CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO ENSURE THAT ALL OF THESE CONDITIONS ARE BEING BROUGHT FORWARD BASED ON THE APPROVALS

THAT THEY ARE REQUESTING. >> THE CAP IS 180 STUDENTS AT

100,000 SQUARE FEET. >> WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS YOU GUYS HAVE SAID, WE'VE ESTABLISHED ALL THIS STUFF IS WORKING, MY CONCERN IS THAT WE ARE NOT COMPARING APPLES TO ORANGES, CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW SOMERSET HAVE SPORTS AFTER SCHOOL? AT WHAT GRADE IS IT THREE? THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL, THANK YOU.

>> DO I HAVE TO STATE MY NAME AGAIN?

>> YOU HAVE A NUMBER OF AFTER SCHOOL SPORTS, IT IS -- IT

[01:40:03]

>> LET'S SAY HIGH SCHOOL IS ADDED, YOU HAVE WHATEVER THIS

LIST IS SPORTS, I'M GUESSING. >> IT NOT EVEN THOSE LISTED.

>> I SEE ONE OR TWO FIELDS, I'M TRYING TO BE REALISTIC HERE DOES THAT MEAN THEY CANNOT BE PLAYING AT THE SAME TIME SO YOU MIGHT HAVE SOME AT EARLIER SOME ARE LATER, WHATEVER THERE WILL BE SOME STAGGERING OF USE OF THE FIELDS BUT BEYOND THAT THAT MEANS YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE PEOPLE COMING TO THE SCHOOL FROM OUTSIDE FOR PARTICIPATING WHICH WE WANT BUT HOW MANY SPORTS AND

PEOPLE CAN COME AT ONE TIME? >> YES, AND NO TO THAT QUESTION.

IT DEPENDS ON THE SPORT AND IT DEPENDS ON WHAT FIELD IS REQUIRED AS PER THAT PARTICULAR SPORTS.

A LOT OF TIMES OUR GAMES ARE PLAYED OFF SITE.

VERY LITTLE ARE ACTUALLY PLAYED ON SITE

>> THAT'S WHY I'M TRYING TO SAY. I'M NOT LOOKING AT WHAT'S HAPPENING TODAY. I THINK IT'S GREAT, IT SOUNDS LIKE IF IT'S NOT BROKE DON'T FIX IT I GET IT YOU WANT TO EXPAND

BUT WHAT I'M SAYING -- >> THE EXACT SAME THING WOULD HAPPEN. THERE WILL BE A LIMITED NUMBER OF SPORTS WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY ON OUR FACILITY BASED ON WHAT OUR CAMPUS WOULD LOOK LIKE AND THEN THERE'S GOING TO BE CERTAIN SPORTS WE WOULD HAVE TO PLAY OFF SITE.

>> LET'S SAY, BECAUSE I'M SURE THIS WILL HAPPEN AT LEAST ONCE, YOU HAVE A BIG GAME THURSDAY NIGHT, HUGE GAME BUT ALSO WHAT DO YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE TO PLAY, DRAMA HAS A BIG PLAY THE SAME

NIGHT. >> THAT'S FOR OPERATIONAL YOU

DON'T SCHEDULE THAT. >> I'M TELLING YOU IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, YOU GUYS ARE AN AMAZING OPERATION IT WILL HAPPEN, IF THERE'S MANY KIDS WITH SO MANY EVENTS, IT WILL EVENTUALLY THE

STARS WILL ALIGN AND PEOPLE. >> EITHER ONE OR TWO BUT.

>> WITH AN EXTRA 1000 OR SO KIDS, THERE'S THESE EXTRACURRICULARS IT'S GOING TO CHANGE THE DYNAMIC SO I WANT THAT DYNAMIC TO STILL BE AS GREAT AS POSSIBLE BUT THAT DYNAMIC AS MUCH AS YOU STILL MANAGE IT WITHIN THE FOUR WALLS OF YOUR PROPERTY STILL INFLUENCES AND AFFECTS

EVERYTHING AROUND IT. >> PRACTICES, THAT IS ANOTHER THING. DOESN'T INVOLVE EXTERNAL TRAFFIC TO THE COMMISSIONER ISROW POINT BUT THERE HAS TO BE TIME FOR PRACTICES IN FIELDS FOR THAT RIGHT? SO THAT COULD BE IN THE EARLY MORNING, THAT COULD BE IN THE AFTERNOON. IT COULD BE IN THE EVENING AND THEN I THINK THERE IS A BAND PLANNED.

BAND IS A BIG THING, THEY PRACTICE IN THE MORNING OFTEN.

IS THAT A PLANNED? HOW DOES THAT PLAY INTO TRAFFIC AND I AM THE SAME AS COMMISSIONER ISROW AND VICE MAYOR BRIER, BIG SUPPORTER OF SCHOOL.

YOU GUYS HAVE DONE PHENOMENAL. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE.

COVID-19, THAT IS AMAZING WHAT YOU GUYS DID.

BUT TO COMMISSIONER ISROW POINT, LOOK INTO THE FUTURE, HOW DO WE ACCOUNT FOR ALL OF THIS? LOOKING AT IT AS A PARTNERSHIP TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND AND PLAN FOR IT.

>> TO SOME OTHER POINTS THAT WERE MADE EARLIER, AND I'M NOW HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ABOUT THOSE, I THINK WE ARE VERY FOCUSED ON THE 2100 AND THE 2100 CARS BUT BEING A K TO 12 CAMPUS, CHANGES THAT COMPLETELY BECAUSE NOW YOU HAVE PARENTS THAT ARE NOT NECESSARILY THEY'RE NOT ADDING THEM, THEY HAVE ALREADY THREE, FOUR CHILDREN AT THE SCHOOL, IT IS THE SAME PARENTS COMING IN THAT IS REALLY NOT CHANGING.

IT'S REALLY NOT ADDING 600 MORE STUDENTS BECAUSE A LOT OF THEM HAVE SIBLINGS IN MULTIPLE GRADE LEVELS, CURRENTLY I HAVE SOME SITTING IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WILL HAVE CHILDREN IN ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE AND IN HIGH SCHOOL. SO INSTEAD OF GOING TO AN ADDITIONAL DROP OFF, IT'S A ONE STOP DROP OFF.

I THINK WE ARE GETTING A LITTLE BIT AWAY FROM THAT THOUGHT OF IT IS NOT NECESSARILY ADDING IT'S ALREADY EMBEDDED WITHIN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM WITHIN THE SCHOOL. THE STACKING OUTSIDE, WE MONITOR THAT ON A REGULAR. SO WHEN WE NOTICE THAT CARS ARE STACKING THAT'S WHAT HELPS US DETERMINE WHEN WE'RE OPENING THE GATE TO ALLOW THE CARS TO COME IN BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT THEM TO STACK AND CAUSE ANY KIND OF TRAFFIC FOR ANYBODY IN THE CITY.

THE BYPASS LANES, ABSOLUTELY WILL ASSIST, WE HAVE BEFORE, SIBLING CARE SO THAT ALSO ALLEVIATES EVERYBODY COMING IN EVEN WITHIN THE STAGGERED TIMES OR BEFORE PARENT AND SIBLING CARE OPENS AT EARLY 7:00 A.M. THOSE ARE PARENTS WHO WILL BE COMING IN WAY BEFORE EVEN THE REGULAR START TIME.

SO ALL OF THAT ALLEVIATES, THAT FOUR STAGGERING TIMES IT HELPS BECAUSE YOU ARE CREATING A CONSTANT FLOW OF TRAFFIC, YOU ARE NEVER REALLY STOPPING. YOU ARE JUST -- THE DOUBLE BYPASS LANE, YOU ARE COMING IN AND WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED YOU ARE MOVING ALONG ESPECIALLY NOW THAT THAT JERSEY BARRIER WOULD BE REMOVED. I CAN UNDERSTAND BECAUSE IT'S THE UNKNOWN, IT'S THE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN, I THINK WE HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB OF TAKING A LOOK AT THE TRAFFIC AND BRIAN AND I SPEAK REGULARLY AS NEEDED. WE INTERNALLY MAKE OUR OWN

[01:45:05]

WE MAKE OUR ADJUSTMENT INTERNALLY AND AS WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO BUT IS NOT SO MUCH ADDING 600, NOT EVEN THOUSAND STUDENTS BECAUSE A LOT OF THEM, THE CAR WISE AND TRAFFIC WISE THEY ARE ALREADY PART OF THE SCHOOL AS IT IS.

THEY HAVE MULTIPLE STUDENTS IN MULTIPLE GRADE LEVELS.

>> I ASKED YOU ON THAT, THAT WILL BE AN ASSUMPTION BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WILL BE, WHAT DO YOU GUYS CURRENTLY USE AS YOUR FIGURE OF THE PERCENTAGE BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO WERE ALREADY EXISTING AND NEW FAMILIES WHO EXPECT TO INTERACT.

>> I. -- I. DON'T HAVE A PERCENTAGE PER SE BECAUSE WE DO HAVE SIBLING PARITY FOR EXAMPLE. IF YOUR CHILD ATTENDS THE CAMPUS THE SIBLING AUTOMATICALLY HAS A PREFERENCE TO BE ABLE TO ATTEND THE SCHOOL. SO THAT IN ITSELF, I DON'T KNOW

IF I'M ANSWERING. >> WHAT IS THE BREAKDOWN CURRENTLY BETWEEN PARKLAND RESIDENTS AND NONPARKLAND?

>> ABOUT 50%. PART OF THAT 50% IS THOSE STUDENTS IN THE UPPER ELEMENTARY AND DEFINITELY IN THAT MIDDLE SCHOOL, AGAIN -- I. GAINED SOME AND NOW I'M GAINING A LOT MORE OTHER MIDDLE SCHOOLERS BECAUSE THEY'RE HOPING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE A LOT OF PARENTS ARE LOOKING FOR THE K TO 12 OPTION AND THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAS DRIVEN OUR CAMPUS AND OUR TEAM TO ASK FOR THE EXPANSION BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT MANY OTHER FAMILIES HAVE REQUESTED THAT TO BE THE OPTION AND THERE ARE SCHOOLS THAT DO THAT.

PRIVATE SCHOOLS SOMETIMES PROVIDE THAT OPTION WHERE IT'S OKAY TO 12 OPTION AND I AM LOSING SOME FAMILIES TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS, NOT EVEN NECESSARILY LOCAL SCHOOLS BECAUSE THEY WANT AN OPTION WHERE THE CHILD IS THERE FOR SIX THROUGH 12 OR AT THIS POINT HIGH SCHOOL OPTION BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ONE.

>> DRANK MORNING DROP OFFS OR AFTERNOON I KNOW YOU HAVE BSO OUT THERE HELPING WITH TRAFFIC, ARE THEY JUST IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL OR ARE THEY -- ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNINGS, WILL BE NEEDED IF THIS PROPOSAL IS APPROVED MORE THAN EVER, ARE THEY ALSO DOWN BY TEN PARK DIRECTING TRAFFIC OUT OF THAT COMMUNITY?

>> THERE ARE A TOTAL OF FOUR OFFICERS REQUESTED PARK IS ONE, IN FRONT OF OUR SCHOOL THERE ARE TWO, AND THEN OFF ON UNIVERSITY

DRIVE THERE'S ANOTHER. >> THEY ARE THERE BOTH MORNINGS

AND AFTERNOONS? >> YES.

>> BEFORE WE LET MOVE ON THE REST OF THE PRESENTATION WE WILL TAKE A QUICK FIVE MINUTE

>> IS EVERYBODY READY? WE ARE BACK ON? OKAY, SINCE I AM READY WE WILL GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED.

ARE WE DONE WITH THE TRAFFIC GUY WIN FOR NOW.

>> I'M SURE YOU'LL HAVE MORE QUESTIONS.

>> GO AHEAD. >> LIKE I SAID DURING MY PART OF THE PRESENTATION WE WILL TALK YOU THROUGH THREE OR FOUR SLIDES ON STAGING SO THAT YOU CAN GET A FEEL BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IS A CONCERN WITH REGARD TO HOW ALL OF THAT STAGING WILL WORK WHILE WE ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND THEN I WILL FINISH UP WITH TWO OR THREE SLIDES SO ONLY A FEW MORE MINUTES FOR US.

>> GOOD EVENING ARCHITECTURE. I WILL QUICKLY WALK YOU GUYS THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION STAGING AND PHASING PLANS FOR THE CA CAMPUS. QUICKLY.

CURRENTLY ON THE SCREEN YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING AT THE CONSTRUCTION FOR PHASE ONE SO AS YOU KNOW IT WAS MENTIONED EARLIER IN THE PRESENTATION, WE ARE PROPOSING THREE NEW BUILDINGS WE WILL BE SEPARATING THOSE INTO THREE SEPARATE CONSTRUCTION PHASES TO ALLEVIATE ANY ISSUES WITH THE SCHOOL.

SO CURRENTLY YOU ARE SEEING PHASE ONE WHICH IS THE CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDING C WHICH WILL BE THE ADDITIONAL 15 -- 14 CLASSROOMS AND LUNCHROOM. WE ARE PLANNING TO BUILD THIS BUILDING FIRST SO THAT THE SCHOOL CAN SLOWLY START MIGRATING THE MIDDLE SCHOOL KIDS INTO THIS BUILDING THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS AND WE WILL PROVIDE THAT ADDITIONAL LUNCHROOM TO SEPARATE THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL LUNCHES FROM THE ELEMENTARY LUNCHES WHICH WILL CONTINUE IN THE EXISTING BUILDING. CURRENTLY, THE SCHOOL OPERATES THEIR DROP OFF AND PICK UP FROM THE ENTRANCE ON HILLSBOROUGH ON

[01:50:05]

WE WILL BE USING THIS AT OUR CONSTRUCTION EXIT AND ENTRANCE.

IT WILL ALLOW FOR DELIVERIES AND FURTHER DIFFERENT CONTRACTORS TO ENTER AND EXIT THE CONSTRUCTION SITE WITHOUT HAVING TO ENTER THE SCHOOL OR ENTER THROUGH THOSE SECURITY GATES ON THE SOUTH SIDE. SO THE CONSTRUCTION SITE WILL BE ABLE TO OPERATE INDEPENDENTLY OF THE SCHOOL.

-- YOU CAN ALSO SEE IN THE DASHED BLUE LINES, THE CURRENT STACKING AS IT CURRENTLY EXISTS AT THE SCHOOL SO CONSTRUCTION WILL NOT AFFECT THE CURRENT STACKING CAPACITY OF THE SCHOOL.

IT WILL CONTINUE TO FUNCTION AS IT IS TODAY.

SO THAT CURRENTLY HAS A CAPACITY OF 166 VEHICLES AND THAT WILL STAY AS IS. YOU CAN SEE IN THE RED, WE ARE SHOWING YOU WHERE THE CONSTRUCTION FENCING WILL BE AND THE MAJORITY OF OUR CONSTRUCTION STAGING WILL BE OVER WHAT IS CURRENTLY THAT ROUND PARKING AREA THAT YOU SEE IN DOING SO WE WILL BE ELIMINATING SOME EXISTING PARKING.

WE ARE PROVIDING YOU WILL SEE ON THIS SLIDE AND THE NEXT SLIDE FOR THE NEXT PHASES IT INCLUDES THE NUMBERS OF OUR PROJECTED STUDENT COUNTS DURING THOSE SEPARATE CONSTRUCTION PHASES TO ENSURE THAT THROUGHOUT CONSTRUCTION WE ARE ALWAYS PROVIDING AT LEAST THE MINIMUM OR EXCEEDING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE STATE STANDARDS. AND AS ALL OF THIS IS GOING ON, IT WILL BE DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR SO SCHOOL WILL BE IN SESSION. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS AWARE, ACADÉMICA HAS SCHOOLS ALL OVER THE STATE, AND THEIR CONSTRUCTION TEAM AS WELL AS US HERE, WE DO THIS ALL THE TIME. WE HAVE SEVERAL CAMPUSES THAT ARE BUILT IN THIS MANNER WITH SEVERAL BUILDINGS BEING CONSTRUCTED IN SEPARATE PHASES. SO WE MAKE SURE TO WORK WITH THE SCHOOLS, WITH THE PRINCIPALS, WE HAVE WEEKLY CONSTRUCTION MEETINGS, WE INCLUDE THE SCHOOLS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH THEM AND IF THEY HAVE ANY CONCERNS WITH CONSTRUCTION WHEN WE ARE DEALING WITH THOSE ISSUES AS THEY APPEAR WE ALSO TALK TO THE SCHOOL ABOUT THEIR SCHEDULING, WHETHER THEY HAVE STANDARDIZED TESTING COMING UP OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT FOR ANY AREAS OR ANY DAYS THAT THEY NEED MORE QUIET TIME OR IF THEY'RE HAVING AN EVENT WE ARE CONSTANTLY IN CONTACT WITH THE SCHOOLS TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR CONSTRUCTION TEAM DOESN'T INTERFERE WITH STUDENT SUCCESS AT THAT CAMPUS SO THIS IS CONSTRUCTION OF PHASE ONE, AT THE END OF THIS PHASE ONE AS WELL WE WILL BE CONSTRUCTING THE IMPROVEMENT TO THE INTERIOR COURTYARD SO THAT THE SCHOOL WILL BE ABLE TO USE THE INTERIOR COURTYARD FOR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS.

DURING PHASE ONE WE WILL ALSO BE USING THE AREA THAT YOU SEE HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN WHICH IS THE FUTURE FOOTPRINT OF THE GYMNASIUM SO THEY CAN HOLD P.E. AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES THERE AS WELL. NOW YOU WILL SEE PHASE TWO,.

>> CAN WE STOP FOR A MOMENT AT PHASE ONE.

FURTHER CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE OFF OF UNIVERSITY, IS THAT GOING TO BE GATED OFF FROM THE REST OF THE SCHOOL FOR SECURITY

PURPOSES? >> WE CURRENTLY ARE SHOWING A GATE AT THE BACK ENTRANCE THE CONSTRUCTION SITE, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE TRUCKS COMING IN AND OUT?

>> THERE IS CURRENTLY A GATE THERE.

>> THERE'S A GATE GOING TO UNIVERSITY BUT THERE IS NOT A SEPARATION BETWEEN WHERE THE KIDS WILL BE AND THE

CONSTRUCTION. >> THERE IS ONLY ONE ENTRANCE, CORRECT. THERE WILL BE NO INTERMIXING OF

VEHICLES, THE CONSTRUCTION. >> BUT THERE WAS NO BARRIER

BETWEEN. >> NO ONE IS GOING IN THERE BUT

CONSTRUCTION. >> I UNDERSTAND,.

>> IF YOUR CONCERN IS FROM A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE A PHYSICAL BARRIER WE COULD PROVIDE A FENCE THERE, YES.

>> IS THERE GOING TO BE SOMEONE MONITORING -- CONSTRUCTION

TRUCKS? >> WE WILL PROVIDE A FENCE AND THERE'S SOMEONE ON SITE WHO WORKS WITH THE CONTRACTOR THAT WILL BE CHECKING VEHICLES IN AND OUT TO MAKE SURE NO ONE IS

ENTERING. >> I KNOW YOU STARTED TALKING ABOUT PHASE ONE, DO YOU HAVE ANY ESTIMATE OF WHAT THE DURATION IS BETWEEN START TO FINISH OF THE VARIOUS PHASES?

[01:55:02]

>> YOU CAN SEE AT THE TOP CORNER OF THE SLIDE FOR PHASE ONE WE'RE ANTICIPATING STARTING CONSTRUCTION IN FEBRUARY OF NEXT YEAR, FEBRUARY 2027 AND WE ANTICIPATE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THAT FIRST BUILDING TO TAKE ABOUT 12 MONTHS AND BE COMPLETED

AROUND FEBRUARY OF 2028. >> I THOUGHT I HEARD EARLIER IT'S ABOUT THREE TO FOUR YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION TOTAL, IS THAT

RIGHT? >> THIS IS JUST FOR PHASE ONE.

JUST THE FIRST BUILDING. THE WAY THE PHASING WILL WORK IS AS SOON AS ONE PHASE ENDS THE NEXT PHASE STARTS.

SO PHASE ONE, THE IDEA IS THAT IT WILL END IN FEBRUARY OF 2028

AND AT THAT POINT WE START >> IS THERE ANY WAY TO SPEED THE

PROCESS UP? >> TWELVE MONTHS IS A PRETTY --

>> NOT THE 12 MONTHS BUT THE PHASES.

YOU'RE TALKING BUT THIS BEING A CONSTRUCTION SITE FOR FOUR

YEARS. >> WE ANTICIPATED THREE YEARS CAFE THREE YEAR PROCESS. WE ARE DOING IT SEQUENTIALLY.

BASICALLY ONE PHASE ENDS AND THE NEXT ONE STARTS TO SPEEDED UP AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. DUE TO THE TIGHT NATURE OF THE SITE, WE CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T INTERFERE WITH STACKING. SO BREAKING IT DOWN INTO THESE FACES MOST AFFECTED BY IT. SO YOU ARE SEEING NOW, PHASE TWO, WHICH WOULD BE BUILDING D. WHICH HOUSES 16 ADDITIONAL ATTACHMENTS ON THE SECOND FLOOR. AND ON THE GROUND FLOOR WE PROVIDE A COVERED PARKING AREA TO ADD ADDITIONAL PARKING.

THIS BUILDING WILL ALSO INCLUDE A ROOFTOP RECREATIONAL AREA THAT WILL BE USED ON HIGH. YOU CAN SEE THAT HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW, WE ARE ESSENTIALLY USING THE SAME STAGING AREA.

IN THIS PHASE WE WILL HAVE AN INCREASE IN STUDENTS BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE THE BUILDING THAT WE JUST BUILT THE PRIOR YEAR.

SO IN ORDER TO DO THAT, WE WILL BE USING THE AREA THAT WILL BE THE FUTURE JIM TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL TEMPORARY 18 SPACES.

WHAT WE WILL DO IS STABILIZE THE GRASS FOR PARKLAND CODE.

THAT WAY WE WILL BE PROVIDING THE SUFFICIENT PARKING REQUIRED BY STATE STANDARDS FOR THAT YEAR.

SO THAT PHASE WOULD LAST A CENTURY FROM FEBRUARY 2028 TO FEBRUARY OF 2029. AT THAT POINT --

>> SORRY, CAN YOU GO BACK? SO PHASE TWO, -- GO TO PHASE ONE REAL QUICK. SO PHASE ONE, YOU ARE MOVING THE STUDENTS TO THAT FIELD IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER, RIGHT? SUNOCO TO PHASE TWO. WHERE DO THEY GO NOW?

>> THEY WILL BE IN THE INTERIOR COURTYARD.

YOU WILL SEE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE -- LET ME SHOW PHASE ONE.

RIGHT THERE WE ARE CREATING THAT ADDITIONAL SOCCER FIELD, THE SOCCER AREA YOU CAN SEE THERE DURING CONSTRUCTION OF PHASE

ONE. >> THAT WILL WITHSTAND ALL

ACTIVITIES? >> THAT ALLEVIATES SOME OF IT.

ANOTHER THING THAT CAN HELP WITH PE, IF YOU'RE ASKING FOR OTHER ACTIVITIES, NOW THAT WE HAVE THE -- WE HAVE REMOVED THE MIDDLE SCHOOL COMPONENT FROM THE LUNCHROOMS IN THE EXISTING BUILDING, THE CAFETERIA NOW WILL UTILIZE FOR THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SO THAT CAFETERIA THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND NONLUNCH HOURS CAN ALSO HANDLE SOME OF THESE RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES.

>> SUPPORTS IN THE CAFETERIA? >> YOU SAID YOU WERE DOING FOR HYPHENATE SPORTS? FOURTH THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE, YOU HAVE SPORTS LEAGUES OR SPORTS TEAMS? I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND, IF DURING CONSTRUCTION, OBVIOUSLY% WE DON'T WANT THEM WALKING IN AREA THEY WILL PLAY AN EXTRA CONSTRUCTION SITES WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW YOU INTEND TO BIFURCATE A CONSTRUCTION SITE NEXT TO KIDS.

>> ALREADY WITH OUR CURRENT SET UP, ARE STUDENTS TYPICALLY DON'T PRACTICE ON-SITE. THEY PRACTICE OFF-SITE.

ARE FLAG FOOTBALL TEAM PRACTICES THERE.

THE MAJORITY OF THE TEAMS DO NOT.

THE ONES THAT WERE BASKETBALL BECAUSE WE CAN ONLY HAVE THE BASKETBALL COURT IS NOT BEING TOUCHED.

AND THE GREEN AREA, I CAN GO BACK.

THAT IS BECAUSE THAT IS THE ALLOTTED SPACE THAT IS CURRENTLY THERE IN FRONT OF THE LAKE FIELD.

THE ENTIRE AREA DOES NOT NEED TO BE UTILIZED.

ON THE CONTRARY, IT WOULD HAVE TO CONTAIN STUDENTS IN A SMALL AREA, I WILL NOT HAVE THEM RUN AROUND A VERY LARGE AREA, RIGHT? IN ORDER TO CREATE STRUCTURE, SUPERVISION, IT LOOKS REALLY BIG AND THEN WHEN YOU GO TO THE SECOND --

>> I'M MORE WORRIED ABOUT THE SECOND, I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT

THE FIRST PHASE. >> I KNOW YOU ARE NOT WORRIED ABOUT NUMBER 1, I KNOW YOU'RE READ ABOUT NUMBER 2.

[02:00:01]

FIELDS TO BE ABLE TO -- >> FOR YOUR CONVERTING INTO

TEMPORARY PARKING, IN MY WRONG? >> IT IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE

BASKETBALL COURT. >> BUT THAT IS SMALLER THAN A

BASEBALL COURT, TABASCO COURT. >> NOT ALL STUDENTS GO ON AT THE SAME TIME, THEY ARE ON A SCHEDULE.

>> I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S THE PLAN.

YOU SAY THEY MAY DO THIS, THEY PRACTICE THEIR BUT I'M NOT HEARING CERTAINTY. I'M NOT SAYING YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE EXACT BUSINESS PLAN IN PLACE, THE ISSUES WERE TALKING ABOUT OF HAVING A PARKING LOT WERE KIDS USED TO PLAY, I JUST WORRY THAT WE MAY HAVE PRACTICE, WE MAY NOT.

BUT I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE OF A CERTIFICATION.

WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT THE VISION IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HOW THIS ACTUALLY PLAYS OUT, RIGHT? BECAUSE WE CAN SEE ALL OF THESE THINGS NOW BUT IF WHAT YOUR DECISIONS ARE LATER CHANGE LIKE WE WILL HAVE THIS PORT AND THIS ONE WILL BE ON SITE -- I GET IT.

>> IN ORDER FOR US TO GET TO THIS POINT, WE HAVE TO HAVE A

VISION IN PLACE. >> I'M ASKING YOU TO PAINT THAT

PICTURE FOR ME. >> THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO.

>> WHEN THEY SEE THIS IT'S LIKE THIS IS STAGE II AND I ASKED THE QUESTION OF WHERE THE KIDS GOING TO GO? WHEN WE'RE SAYING WE COULD DO THIS, DO THAT, I'M KIND OF JUST LOOKING FOR A LITTLE MORE LIKE THIS IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO.

>> I CAN CHANGE MY VERBIAGE, I HAVE ALREADY ANALYSED ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT PHASES OF CONSTRUCTION AND HAVE PLANS IN PLACE, WHICH IS WHAT I'M SHARING.

AGAIN, THOSE AREAS THAT YOU SEE THERE, THAT IS WHY JUST SHARED WITH YOU THAT FROM PHASE ONE TO PHASE TWO, IT IS DIFFERENT.

AND THE LOCATIONS ARE DIFFERENT, OBVIOUSLY.

BUT IT IS BECAUSE WE HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN ABOUT, WELL, KNOW WE GO FROM THIS LOCATION AND WE ARE MOVING STUDENTS TO THIS LOCATION. SO ALL OF THIS IS ALREADY BEEN THOUGHT OF, PLANNED FOR. WHEN HE USED THE EXAMPLE OF THE CAFETERIA,, THERE IS INDOOR PICKLEBALL COURTS.

THAT IS VERY EASILY DONE WITHIN A CAFETERIA SPACE.

SO THERE ARE MULTIPLE OPTIONS TO BE DONE WITHIN THAT SPACE.

>> I THINK YOU MIGHT -- I KNOW YOU SAY YOU HAVE SPORTS, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE GRANDIOSE SPORTS PROGRAMS.

>> WITH A MIDDLE SCHOOL OF 275 STUDENTS BECAUSE OF OUR LIMITED CAPACITY, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO BE ABLE TO OFFER GRANDIOSE

SPORTS, RIGHT? >> BUT YOU WILL BE OFFERING

SPORTS FOR HIGH SCHOOLERS? >> ABSOLUTELY.

>> IF WE CANNOT OFFER GRAND JUST FOR MIDDLE SCHOOLERS --

>> IT ALLOWS US TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL OPTIONS.

WITH THE GYMNASIUM WE CAN DO WRESTLING, WE CAN DO TRACK.

THE GYMNASIUM IS DESIGNED TO HAVE A TRACK INSIDE.

WHICH WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE. TALK ABOUT BASKETBALL, WE HAVE A FULL BEST OF ALL SIZED. YOU HAVE VOLLEYBALL.

SO WILL DEFTLY CATER -- >> THE GYM IS THE LAST ITEM TO BE COMPLETED. THAT IS MY CONCERN.

>> BUT THEY'RE ALSO FACING IN HIGH SCHOOL.

>> BUT THEY ARE INCREASING MIDDLE SCHOOLERS.

SO WE GO UP LIKE 500. >> EVEN IF YOU LOOK AT THE SPORTS PROGRAMS AT A GLANCE, THEY DON'T HAVE A BASEBALL

FIELD. >> NOT ALL THE STUDENTS ARE PARTICIPATING. THIS WAS APPROVED EIGHT YEARS AGO WHEN THE GYM WAS ENVISIONED THEN.

AND IT HASN'T BEEN BUILT. SO THE GYM WILL BE THE LAST THING, POTENTIALLY, AFTER THEY ARE AT 2100.

>> THEY'RE NOT GOING TO REALLY OFFER THOSE SPORTS UNTIL THEY HAVE THE FACILITIES. THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING NOW.

NOW THEY CAN ONLY OFFER WHAT THEY CAN OFFER.

AND AS THEY GROW AND THEY CHANGE, THEY WILL OFFER MORE.

>> MR. MAYOR , CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER FOR A MEMBER OF THE COMMISSION. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND. IT GOT TOUCHED ON A LITTLE BIT IS ABOUT 200 PLUS SITES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, ABOUT 55,000 MYSTIC STUDENTS AND 55,000 INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ABOUT 80,000 STUDENTS JUST THIS MORNING IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

THIS IS WHAT WE DO. WE DO IT ACROSS THE ENTIRE STATE AND I TELL YOU HE WOULD VERY WELL.

SO HOW WE ARE PLANNING THIS CAMPUS, HOW WE ARE PLANNING THIS GROVE HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

WE DON'T WANT TO BUILD IT ALL AT ONE TIME, YOU DON'T WANT US TO BUILD ALL AT ONE TIME. BECAUSE PART OF THE REQUEST AND PART OF WHAT WE ARE HEARING, PART OF WHY WERE YOU HERE TODAY TO ASK FOR THIS IS BECAUSE WE WANT -- AND I WAS HERE EIGHT YEARS AGO. AND WE WANT MORE STUDENTS TO

[02:05:04]

THEY WILL HAVE AN INFLUX AROUND THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE AS A PUBLIC SCHOOL WE HAVE A PREFERENCE PERIOD AS YOU HEARD FOUR SIBLINGS BUT WE ALSO HAVE A PREFERENCE SERIES FOR THE CITY OF PARKLAND BEFORE IT OPENS UP TO ANYBODY ELSE.

SO BY STAGING IT THIS WAY, THIS IS HOW WE HAVE KNOWN IT, AGAIN, FOR 30 YEARS, FOR TWO REASONS. NUMBER 1, TO ENSURE A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS FROM PARKLAND TO ATTEND THE SCHOOL.

BUT ALSO, TO MAINTAIN THAT HIGH LEVEL.

BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS OF EDUCATION OUTCOMES, ONE OF THE THINGS YOU HEARD FROM PRINCIPAL GAIL, CASTRO, IS THAT WE TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN THOSE EDUCATION OUTCOMES.

AND WE WANT THAT TO BE THE EXCEPTIONAL SCHOOL.

BUT FOR THAT TO HAPPEN THERE SOMETHING TO DO PRETTY WELL, WHICH IS GROW. SAID THEIR DATA WILL SHOW THAT WHEN STUDENTS ATTEND THE SCHOOL AND KINDERGARTEN AND FIRST GRADE, DO A LOT BETTER WHEN THEY GET TO THE TESTING, TO THE SCORING AND TO THE PROGRESS MONITORING THAT HAPPENS NOW IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. SO THIS IS TRIED END.

AND I APPRECIATE THE QUESTIONS AND I UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHY YOU ARE ASKING THEM. BUT QUITE HONESTLY, THIS IS WHAT THEY DO VERY WELL. THIS WHAT OUR PRINCIPALS DO EXTREMELY WELL. TO MAKE SURE THOSE QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED. SCHOOL CHOICE.

IF WE DON'T GET THAT STACKING RIGHT, THAT PARKING RIGHT, IF WE DON'T GET THE OPERATIONAL TRAFFIC IN AND OUT RIGHT, PARENTS CHOOSE TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

IF WE DON'T HAVE THE PROGRAMMING RIGHT FOR THE STUDENTS, I'M A FATHER OF FIVE. MY 16-YEAR-OLD WILL COME AND SAY I DON'T WANT TO BE AT THE SCHOOL ANYMORE.

I WANT TO GO TO ANOTHER SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT OFFERING THIS TRACK WHERE THEY ARE NOT OFFERING THIS ART PROGRAM OR THEY ARE NOT OFFERING THIS SPORTS PROGRAM.

SO WE HAVE TO GET IT RIGHT. BY LISTENING TO OUR PARENTS.

AND THE BIGGEST PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN ON THE SCHOOL HAS BEEN WEARING MY CHILD GOES AFTER EIGHTH-GRADE.

THAT IS WHY WE ARE HERE. THIS IS A BOUTIQUE HIGH SCHOOL OF 600 STUDENTS. I KNOW THE NUMBERS IN THIS COMMUNITY, THEY ARE MUCH LARGER THAN 600 BECAUSE THEY NEEDED TO BE. THIS IS REALLY CUSTOM, AND I HAD THIS CONVERSATION YESTERDAY WITH SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS OF THE HOA. FOR IT TO BE A BOUTIQUE CUSTOM HIGH SCHOOL THAT HOPEFULLY SERVES THOSE SITES.

IF YOU SAW THE RAMPING UP DONE BY MS. CASTRO, SHE ONLY WANTED TO TAKE IN EIGHTH-GRADERS OR NINTH GRADERS THERE IN HER EIGHTH-GRADE CLASS. AND SHE IS NOT COMING TO YOU AND SAYING WE WILL FILL NINE, TENT, 11TH ONE YEAR.

SHE SAYS I WANT THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN HERE FROM THE BEGINNING TO GO TO THE NEXT ONE. AND I WANT THAT GRADE TO THEN GROW AND GROW INTO IT. THAT IS A STRAIN ON HER BUDGET.

BUT SHE IS WILLING TO MAKE THAT SACRIFICE SO THAT WE GET BETTER OUTCOMES. SO I RESPECTFULLY -- I WILL BE HERE ALL NIGHT TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

AND I WAS HERE EIGHT YEARS AGO. AND I WAS HERE AND STOOD UP HERE AND PROMISED THAT PLAN WAS GOING TO BE BUILT.

THE ENROLLMENT DID NOT JUSTIFY BECAUSE OF THE OPERATIONAL'S, TO GO AHEAD AND BUILD THE GYM. AND I HAD THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE LEADERS THEN THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A CAVE 12 FROM THE BEGINNING. AND IT HAD A LOT OF PRESSURE.

AND AT THAT TIME, TO GET THE SCHOOL APPROVED, WE WENT AHEAD AND TOOK THE K HYPHENATE APPROVAL.

THERE IS NEVER A SECRET THAT WHEN WE PROVED OURSELVES, THAT IS WHAT WE ARE HERE TODAY TO SAY, EVERYTHING THAT WE PROMISE -- YOU HEARD IT AND SOME OF YOU HAVE TESTIFIED TO THAT.

TRAFFICS BEING TAKEN CARE OF. AND WILL BE TAKING CARE OF WITH THE ADDITIONAL NUMBERS BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DO THAT.

BRIAN DIDN'T MENTION THIS, BUT BRIAN, HOW MAY TIMES HAVE WE BEEN IN VIOLATION I DID ON THE LAST EIGHT YEARS?

>> VERY MINOR. I DIDN'T SAY NONE, MINOR.

SO WE STOOD UP HERE, WE SAID WE WILL DELIVER, WE DELIVERED A GOOD SCHOOL, WE WILL DELIVER A SAFE SCHOOL, AND RIGHTFULLY SO.

THE COMMISSION ASKS FOR BUILDING TO BE BUILT, LEG NO OTHER SCHOOL HAS EVER BEEN BUILT. BUT WE DID IT AND WE DELIVERED IT. SO I STAND HERE BEFORE YOU TODAY

[02:10:02]

SO I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT, MAYOR.

AND TO THE COMMISSION, IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, WE ARE

HERE. >> THANK YOU.

>> SO FOR PHASE TWO, JUST TO CLARIFY ON THAT, WHAT YOU ARE SEEING ON SCREEN IS ONLY GOING TO BE THE CAMPUS SITUATION PER THAT ONE YEAR. IS THE CONSTRUCTION WILL GET TO ALL OF THE BUILDINGS, INCLUDING THE GYMNASIUM.

SO WE'RE GOING TO TO NEED ALL OF THE SPORTS FOR THIS ONE YEAR.

THIS IS JUST THAT TRANSITION YEAR TO THE NEXT STAGE.

SO ANTICIPATE THE COMPLETION OF THIS PHASE IN FEBRUARY OF 29, WHICH WOULD THEN ROLL IN PHASE THREE, WHICH IS THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE GYMNASIUM. AT THAT POINT, TOWARDS THE END OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE GYMNASIUM, WE WILL ALSO THEN IMPLEMENT THE SITE WORK THAT WILL AFFECT WHAT YOU SEE AS OUR STAGING AREA WHERE WE WILL ESSENTIALLY ELONGATE THAT PARKING LOT THAT HAS 70 SPACES EXISTING.

MOVE ALONG AT THAT PARKING LOT TOOLED ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES AS WELL AS EXTEND THE STACKING TO WHAT IT WILL ULTIMATELY BE IN

THE BUILD OUT. >> I DIDN'T GET THAT.

HOW ARE YOU ELONGATING IT? >> YOU SEE THAT AREA THAT'S IS THE PHASE THREE CONSTRUCTION STAGING?

>> YOU WILL MOVE THE 70 INTO THE PHASE THREE?

>> CORRECT. THAT WILL EXTEND INTO THAT.

RIGHT NOW THAT IS AN ADDITIONAL PARKING AREA THAT TEACHERS USE.

AND IT IS THAT LUKE THAT YOU SEE GOING AROUND WHICH IS CURRENTLY WHERE THEY ARE DROPPIG OFF THE BEFORE CARE.

SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS ELIMINATE THE EXTRA LOOP TO ELONGATE THE OTHER PARKING AND THE OTHER LOOP WHICH CREATES ADDITIONAL PARKING THAT WE NEED. IT IS WELL AS EXTENDING THAT STACKING, WHICH BRIAN ALLUDED TO EARLIER.

WE WILL BE ABLE TO INCREASE THE CAPACITY.

>> I GUESS I WAS ASKING SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

DONE, THAT IS AFTER PHASE THREE. SO DURING PHASE THREE, NOW YOU WILL HAVE MORE STUDENTS AND YOU WERE LOSING THAT ENTIRE

PARKING LOT. >> DURING PHASE THREE, IS YOU WILL SEE, WHEN WE START CONSTRUCTION OF PHASE THREE, WE WILL HAVE COMPLETED PHASE TWO, WHICH IS THE BUILDING D THAT IS GOING TO PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL 38 COVERED PARKING SPACES.

THAT IS WHERE WE ARE GOING TO HANDLE THAT ADDITIONAL PARKING% REQUIREMENT THAT THE STATE MANDATES US BASED OFF OF OUR PROTECTED STUDENT COUNCIL AT THE TIME.

THAT IS WHAT WILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE DURING THAT PHASE OF CONSTRUCTION. SO AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS PHASE, WE ARE ADDING A COUPLE MORE MONTHS, WE WILL GO FROM FEBRUARY OF 29 TO AUGUST OF 2030. SO THAT WILL PROVIDE THE TIME TO COMPLETE THE GYMNASIUM AND REDO THAT SITE IN THE PARKING AREA DURING THE SUMMER. SO THAT ONCE THE GYMNASIUM OPENS , THE CAMPUS WILL BE A FULL CAPACITY AND WE WILL HAVE ALL O% THE BUILDINGS WILL BE COMPLETED. AS YOU HAVE SEEN ON THE SITE PLAN. > THANK YOU.

>> OKAY, MY FAVORITE PART OF THE PRESENTATION, THE C.A.B.

APPLICATION WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY THE PRETTY PICTURES.

WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING AT HIS TWO RENDERINGS OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING. I WILL SHARE WITH YOU A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT RENDERINGS THAT HAVE BEEN PREPARED.

BUT FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT ARCHITECTURE HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO THE NEW BUILDINGS THAT HAVE BEEN PROPOSED ON OUR CAMPUS.

YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE FEATURES, IN PARTICULAR ON THE TOP AND THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE IS THE GYMNASIUM WITH SOME PROMINENT ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE IS BUILDING D. THE TWO-STORY BUILDING WITH THE ROOFTOP WRECK AREA. UTILIZING SOME ADDITIONAL SCREENING ON THE ROOF, OBVIOUSLY FOR SHADE BUT ALSO FOR ADDITIONAL ARCHITECTURAL ENHANCEMENT.

THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE SCREEN, YOU WERE LOOKING FROM THE CELL TO THE WEST AND TO THE NORTHEAST.

AND AGAIN, I THINK YOU CAN SEE HOW EVERYTHING WENT AROUND.

[02:15:02]

A COUPLE MORE PHOTOS FROM JUST DIFFERENT ANGLES AND DIFFERENT AREAS ON CAMPUS. AND ALL OF THE DIFFERENT BUILDING TYPES THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED.

SO LASTLY, I THINK THIS IS OUR SECOND TO LAST LINE.

TO SOME OF THE CONDITIONS. THERE ARE PROBABLY THREE, FOUR, FIVE TIMES AS MANY OF THESE IN THE SITE PLAN RESOLUTION AND THE AMENDED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A HANDFUL BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN DISCUSSION WITH THE STAFF BETWEEN MYSELF AND SOME, NOT ALL OF YOU ON A VARIETY OF THESE CONDITIONS.

OBVIOUSLY THE ROUNDABOUT CONDITION HAS BEEN A BIG CONCERN. WE SPENT A FAIR MODE OF TALKING WITH STAFF AS TO THE RIGHT APPROACH.

I THINK THE IDEA IS THAT WE ARE GOING TO SUBMIT PERMIT APPLICATIONS ON WHAT WE'RE CALLING PHASE ZERO OR BUILDING B. WE WILL SUBMIT PERMIT APPLICATIONS FOR THE ROUNDABOUT TO THE COUNTY BEFORE WE GET A CERTIFICATE OF ALL OCCUPANCY TO ENCLOSE THAT LITTLE INDOOR OUTDOOR AREA. THAT IS ON TO SUBPOENA TO HAPPEN THIS SUMMER. THE APPLICATION WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE COUNTY AT SOME POINT THIS SUMMER.

AND THE IMPROVEMENTS WILL GO THROUGH THE ROUNDABOUT, IT WILL BE OPEN AND OPERATIONAL FOR USE IN ORDER FOR US TO OCCUPY THE NEW BUILDING THAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO DEVELOP AND SHIFT ADDITIONAL STUDENTS INTO. AND THIS WILL ALL BE VERY FINE TUNED WITH LANGUAGE PRIOR TO THE MEETING IN TWO WEEKS.

>> I'M SURE WE SPOKE WITH STAFF TO MAKE THE ROUNDABOUT.

LIKE OLIVER OTHER ONES? >> ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES, LANDSCAPING IS ALL PART OF IT. THIS IS ALL PART OF GETTING THE PERMIT PACKAGE TOGETHER, BRIAN HAS BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE COUNTY STAFF AND THAT WILL BE PART O IT.

>> AND THE SCHOOL WOULD BE RESPONSE WILL FOR MAINTAINING

IT? >> CORRECT, I THINK IT IS COVERED IN THE AMENDED DEVELOPMENT.

GRADE LEVELS, WE TALKED ABOUT THEM ENOUGH BUT I THINK IT IS AN IMPORTANT CONDITION TO SHOW IT IS BEING STAGGERED OVER THE COURSE OF FOUR YEARS. THE ANNUAL MONITORING AS WE TALKED ABOUT. I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS EXPRESSED JULIO SAID IT BEST AND IF HE DIDN'T, I WAS GOING TO. THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR DECADES. THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND THEY ARE REALLY GOOD AT WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

AND THEN STAFF KIND OF GETS INVOLVED.

YOU HAVE THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER, THE CITY TRAFFIC ENGINEER, YOU HAVE CITY STAFF MAKING SURE WE ARE PUTTING THE BELT AND SUSPENDERS IN PLACE. IF YOU READ TO THE DEVELOPER TO AGREEMENT FOR THE NEXT MEETING THERE'S PLENTY OF TIME TO DISCUSS. THERE ARE ACTIONS AND REMEDIES IN ALL KINDS -- I THINK EVEN HEARD US TALKING ABOUT IT.

IF WE DO ONE OF THESE REPORTS AND THERE'S SOME SORT OF MINOR ISSUE OR PROBLEM, WE ARE OBLIGATED, CONTRACTUALLY WITH THE CITY, TO IMMEDIATELY FIX AND MITIGATE THOSE ISSUES.

SO BELT AND SUSPENDERS, EVERY STEP OF THE WAY AS WE WORK AWAY THROUGH THIS AND SEEK TO INCREASE STUDENT COUNT, IT IS ALL IN THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL AND THE AGREEMENTS

WHICH I'M SURE -- >> SCOTT, TO QUESTIONS.

THEY'RE PLANNING TO START NINTH GRADE BEFORE ANY OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS ARE DONE? THAT IS BEFORE ANY OF IT IS DONE. SO THEY ARE GOING TO ADD A GRADE BEFORE AND IF THE OTHER BUILDINGS --

>> 27-28 SCHOOL YEAR. >> BUT THAT IS BEFORE ANY OF THE

OTHER BUILDINGS ARE BUILT. >> WE ANTICIPATE HAVING BUILDING C, BILLING FIRST BILLING ON THE EAST AGAIN.

THAT IS BUILDING B. BUILDING C IS 14 CLASSROOMS, IT IS ANTICIPATED TO BE COMPLETED BY FIGURE 82027.

>> SO THAT IS PHASE ONE. I'M CONFUSED.

I THOUGHT IT SAID IT WILL START FEBRUARY 27 AND FEBRUARY 28 FOR

PHASE ONE. >> ONE SECOND.

>> NINETY-SIX STUDENTS IN -- I'M JUST -- I WAS JUST CALLING OUT.

TO THE CONSTRUCTION. >> KEEP GOING.

>> COMMISSIONER, YOU ARE CORRECT.

SO PRESENTLY AS WE SIT HERE TODAY, WE HAVE APPROVAL FOR 1280

[02:20:02]

MS. CASTRO IS GOING TO GROW BY ABOUT 100 STUDENTS FROM THE 1054 AND 26-27 TO 1154 AND 27-28. THAT IS BEFORE BUILDINGS C IS COMPLETED AND THEN IT GOES UP FROM THERE.

>> THAT IS BUILDING B. >> YOU ARE CORRECT.

NINTH GRADE WILL START AND 27-28 AND WILL FIT WITHIN THE EXISTING BUILDING AND STILL FALLS BELOW 1280 THAT WAS APPROVED EIGHT

YEARS AGO. >> THAT, ME TO MY SECOND QUESTION. WHY AREN'T THERE -- WHY AREN'T THERE CAPS MORE COMPLIANCE CAPS THAN THE 1700? ALL I HEARD WAS THE 1700 IS SORT OF THE THRESHOLD COMPLIANCE CAP.

>> HE SAID THERE IS YEARLY. >> THEY ARE DOING YEARLY MONITORING, BUT NONE OF IT IS CONDITIONED ON THE CAPS.

THE ONLY CAP IS THE 1700 THRESHOLD IN THERE.

>> CAN YOU -- BECAUSE MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT EVERY YEAR

THEY HAVE TO MEET -- >> JUST TO CLARIFY, THERE IS ALMOST -- THERE IS AN ANNUAL CAP IF YOU LOOK AT THAT BOTTOM ROW.

EACH YEAR THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO EXCEED THAT TOTAL.

SO STARTING ANY 26-27 YEAR, IT'S 1050 THEN 1154.

SO THERE IS A YEAR-OVER-YEAR CAP AND THEN THERE'S THIS HALFWAY CAP THAT WE WERE ALIGNING WITH THE TRAFFIC.

>> THEY YEAR-OVER-YEAR CAP IS THERE GROWTH CALF.

NONE OF THE YEAR-OVER-YEAR CAPS ARE TIED TO ANY CONSTRUCTION METRICS, TRAFFIC METRIC OR ANYTHING ELSE.

SO ALL I HEARD IS THAT THERE IS A CAP TIED TO ANYTHING WAS A 1700 CAP TIED TO TRAFFIC MITIGATION AND MONITORING IF

THERE IS NOT AN ISSUE. >> THERE IS ONE HARD CAP

CURRENTLY CONTEMPLATED. >> SO WHY ARE WE CREATING ADDITIONAL CAPS? WE DID IT INITIALLY.

WE DID IT WHEN THE PROPERTY WAS FIRST BUILT.

BACK IN 18 WHEN IT WAS APPROVED. WHEN THERE WERE STAGED CAPS FOR COMPLIANCE PURPOSES AND FOR TRAFFIC PURPOSES.

BUT HERE IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS ONE CAP TO INCREASE IT BY ABOUT 700 AND THEN ANOTHER CAP TO GO UP ANOTHER 400.

>> MAY I? COMMISSIONER, TO BE ABLE TO PLAN THESE BUILDINGS, UNDERSTAND EXACT THERE WERE YOUR QUESTION IS, TO BE ABLE TO PLAN THESE BUILDINGS, I CANNOT START CONSTRUCTION OF THOSE BUILDINGS UNLESS I HAVE THE APPROVAL TO BE ABLE TO GO INTO THOSE BUILDINGS. I CANNOT FINISH A PROJECT -- SO THEN WE MIGHT BE, AGAIN TO THE COMMISSIONER POINTS, WE MAY BE SITTING HERE WITH A SIX-YEAR CONSTRUCTION TIMETABLE.

BECAUSE WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL WE ARE ABLE TO MEET THAT APPROVAL, TO THEN PLAN TO START DEVELOPING.

>> SO WIRED THE CAPS TIED TO THE CONSTRUCTION?

IT'S CHICKEN AND EGG. >> I MAY SAY YES TO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING BUT I MAY NOT UNDERSTAND EXACTLY HOW YOU ARE SAYING AT.

>> YOU CANCER BUILDING ONE BUILDING UNTIL YOU KNOW --

>> BUT YOU HAVE TO -- YOU'RE THE ONE BRINGING UP THE CAPS SO YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT.

>> I'M NOT AN EXPERT, I GET WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.

HERE IS MY THOUGHT. WE ARE ALLOWING A GROWTH -- IF THIS IS APPROVED AND I STILL DON'T KNOW WITH ALL THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE UNANSWERED, WE ARE PERMITTING A GROWTH THAT IS ALMOST DOUBLE WHAT WAS APPROVED WAY BACK WHEN AND 34% OVER SQUARE FOOTAGE. BUT I CAN UNDERSTAND YOU NEED TO BUILD A BUILDING IN ORDER TO PUT REARS IN SEATS AND KNOW THAT CAP IS GOING TO BE AVAILABLE TO GROW, RIGHT? SO IF YOU BUILD A BUILDING THAT FITS 200 KIDS, YOU GOT TO GET I GET THAT. BUT THE NOTION THAT THERE WAS NO CORRELATION BETWEEN THE CAPS AND THE INCREASE IN STUDENTS IN CONSTRUCTION AND TRAFFIC MONITORING TO ME IS JUST INCONGRUOUS. BECAUSE THERE WAS THE BEGINNING

WHEN IT WAS FIRST APPROVED. >> AND I'M WILLING TO WORK WITH STAFF ON LANGUAGE AND WE WORK OUT A LOT OF LANGUAGE ON THIS.

I AM NOT DISCARDING. I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK HOW WE COULD TIE THAT. BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, TO THE MAYOR'S POINT, YOU KIND OF HAVE THAT.

BECAUSE IT FOR ANY REASON WE DON'T MEET AND WE ARE IN A CODE VIOLATION AND WE DON'T MEET AND WE ARE IN A CODE VIOLATION, THEY WILL NEVER GIVE US A BUILDING PERMIT AND YOU CAN GET A BUILDING PERMIT THERE'S A CODE VIOLATION.

BUT I'M WILLING TO WORK WITH STAFF AND THIS WHY WE WANTED TO

PUT ALL THIS OUT HERE. >> AND TO THE VISE MAYOR'S POINT, THESE NUMBERS ARE KIND OF ALREADY THOSE CAPS.

BECAUSE, LET'S SAY IN 27 -- IT WOULD BE 27-28B28-29.

[02:25:11]

>> THAT IS NOT HOW IT WAS DONE IN THE BEGINNING.

WHEN YOU DID EIGHT YEARS AGO IT WAS VERY METHODICAL IN THIS STAGE OF THE COMPLIANCE CAPS MONITORING TRAFFIC AND EVERYTHING ELSE AND THEY INCREASED BASED ON CERTAIN

CRITERIA. >> LET ANTHONY -- ANTHONY WANTED

TO SPEAK. >> WE TRY TO DO IS CARRY FORWARD THE SAME STRUCTURE THAT WE HAD FROM THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT WHEN IT CAME TO A MONTHLY MONITORING AND THE CAPS AND ALSO THIS THRESHOLD THAT IS NOW BEING DISCUSSED AT 1700.

SO IN THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, THERE WAS A MAXIMUM ENROLLMENT OF 1280. BUT THEN SIMILAR TO HOW WE'RE NE DIFFERENT. BUT THEY WERE CAPPED AT 1000.

THEY CAN ONLY GET OVER THOUSAND AT THESE REPORTS.

THERE WAS ONE MID-LEVEL THRESHOLD BETWEEN THE TWO.

WE CARRY THOSE FORWARD. IS A 1700 NUMBER MAGIC?

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT. >> I WOULD ASSUME THE 1700 IS

JUST BASED OFF THE 1674. >> IS THE 1675 AND ALSO THE DISCUSSION THAT YOUR CURRENT ENROLLMENT CAP IS AT 1280, CLOSE ENOUGH TO 1300. THE MACS CAP IS 2100, WHERE IS THE MIDWAY POINT? IF IF YOU THE METHOD IS RIGHT

AROUND 1700. >> AND 1454 IS ESSENTIALLY A CAP. IS ALREADY A CAP BECAUSE AT YEAR END, IF THEY ARE NOT MEETING THE OBLIGATIONS ON THE TRAFFIC SIDE, THEY ARE IN CODE VIOLATION'S. SO IT IS CAPPED.

BECAUSE IF YOU ARE IN CODE VIOLATION, YOU CANNOT GET PERMITS. YOU CANNOT PROGRESS, YOU CANNOT MOVE FORWARD UNTIL YOU FIX THAT. WE KNOW WHAT I MEAN? BECAUSE IT IS ESSENTIALLY CAPPED.

>> WHAT YEAR WAS PROJECTED TO THE END OF PHASE THREE? THE COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION, END OF PHASE THREE WAS PROJECTED

TO BE WHERE? >> 8:30.

>> THAT IS RIGHT WERE 1700 IS, IS RUN CONSTRUCTION AS WELL.

SO I GUESS THAT IS A FINAL CHECK BEFORE THEY FILL IT IN.

>> CAN I ASK A -- ARE YOU GUYS -- HELP ME UNDERSTAND.

I FEEL LIKE I'M MISSING SOMETHING HERE.

IF THERE'S SUCH A HIGH DEMAND, WHY DO SOME OF THESE NUMBERS GO DOWN YEAR-OVER-YEAR? SO LET'S LOOK AT GRADE THREE, 26 AND 27 YOU HAVE 144 STUDENTS ASK AN EUROS TO 130.

ARE THOSE ADDITIONAL STUDENTS ON TOP OF?

IS AT THE NEW APPS THE NUMBER? >> THEY MOVE ONTO THE NEXT GRADE NUMBER. YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE 130 SAME 26-27, BOZEMAN HUNDRED 30 STUDENTS -- 26727 OR 27-2028?

>> C GRADE TWO. YOU CURRENTLY HAVE 144 STUDENTS.

THE NEXT YEAR GRADE TWO, BUT THEN GRADE TWO IN THE FOLLOWING

YEAR YOU ONLY HAVE 130 STUDENTS. >> CORRECT, WAS YOUR FIRST GRADERS FROM THIS YEAR MOVING INTO SECOND GRADE TO NEXT YEAR.

>> THEY'RE NOT ACCOUNTING FOR TAKING IN ANY EXTRA

SECOND-GRADER THIRD GRADERS? >> WE ARE MOVING THEM ONTO THE

NEXT GRADE LEVEL. >> ARE YOU HAVING MORE KIDS COMING INTO FEED INTO THE YOUNGER CLASSES?

SO YOU SHOULD BE HAVING MORE. >> IT IS AN ESTIMATE NUMBER BASED ON -- TO MAKE SURE WE'RE STAYING WITHIN THE CAPS THAT WE HAVE ALLOCATED AT THE BOTTOM. WE CURRENTLY HAVE 100 KINDERGARTNERS AND I'M LOOKING AT THE CURRENT COLUMN AND NOW WE FACE THEM INTO FIRST GRADE, 130 MOVE INTO SECOND, 144.

>> I DON'T WANT TO GO DOWN, I WANT TO GO ACROSS.

THAT IS YEAR-OVER-YEAR. >> IT IS A NEW SET OF STUDENTS.

>> I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT A SET OF STUDENTS. CLASS SIZE CACTUS CLASS SIZE. NOT WHETHER THEY ARE NEW OR FROM LAST YEAR, CLASS SIZE. SECOND-GRADE THIS YEAR YOU HAVE 144 STUDENTS, CORRECT? THAN THE FOLLOWING SCHOOL YEAR YOU'RE PLANNING ON ONLY HAVING 130 TOTAL STUDENTS IN

SECOND GRADE, CORRECT? >> BECAUSE I CURRENTLY ONLY HAVE

131ST GRADERS. >> IF YOU LOOK AT THAT SAME COLUMN, COMMISSIONER, FOR SO WE HAVE STUDENTS COMING IN AND OUT BUT SHE NEEDS TO BALANCE IT WHICH IS WHAT SHE'S TRYING TO TELL YOU. IF YOU NOTICE, USING THE 130-130, IT'S 123 BUT THEN INCREASES --

>> WERE YOU LOOKING? I WAS THE NET SECOND GRADE.

>> SO ON SECOND GRADE, THE 144 -- THE 144 GOES TO 144 ALL THE WAY ACROSS. BUT TO BE ABLE TO BALANCE -- 144, 144, 144. LOOKED DIAGONALLY.

>> I UNDERSTAND THAT. I HEAR WHATEVER ONE IS SAYING.

I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IS YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE, AT SOME

[02:30:05]

RIGHT? >> WE NO LONGER HAVE CLASSROOM SPACE. BECAUSE WE ARE MOVING ALONG --

>> YOU'RE CUTTING OFF THE TAIL END AND TO THE FRONT END.

>> I'M MOVING THE STUDENTS THAT I CURRENTLY HAVE TO THE NEXT GRADE LEVEL. WHEN THAT HAPPENS IN A RUN OUT OF CLASSROOM SPACE, I CANNOT OPEN 130 SLOTS IN KINDERGARTEN BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER CLASSROOM.

>> I GET IT. I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IS WHAT IS THE END GAME? I GUESS YOU CAN GET ALL THE WAY UP TO THE STUDENTS AT THESE NUMBERS.

BUT WHAT HAPPENS WE DON'T APPROVE THIS? WHAT HAPPENS WE DON'T APPROVE? ARE YOU STILL BUILDING THE NEW CAFETERIA AND THE NEW BUILDING? OR YOU ONLY BUILDING THAT STUFF

IF THIS IS APPROVED? >> WE HAVE TO HAVE A BALANCED BUDGET. SO MUST BE CAN JUSTIFY WITH THE ENROLLMENT TO THE BUILDINGS THAN THE BUILDINGS CANNOT BE BUILT.

>> OF COURSE, I UNDERSTAND THAT. HERE'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT. I BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SAID BECAUSE I WAS HERE A LONG TIME AGO AT THE MEETING AND THERE IS A LOT OF CONCERNS. AND OBVIOUSLY YOU GUYS DID WHAT YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO DO. I THINK THIS IS DIFFERENT.

BECAUSE YOU HAVE PROVEN IT BASED ON WHAT YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO DO. WHICH IS NOW I'M HEARING CONFLICTING THANKS AND I WILL TELL YOU WHY.

I BELIEVE YOU AND YOUR BRAND AND YOUR INTEGRITY THAT YOU WANT TO BUILD THE BEST POSSIBLE PRODUCT. BUT AT THE SAME TIME YOU'RE TELLING ME, WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE CONCESSIONS.

HIGH SCHOOL -- THESE KIDS MAY NOT HAVE THE SPORT OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OFFER THAT. I'M WORRIED ABOUT HIS ARE YOU WATERING DOWN YOUR PRODUCT TO EXPAND THE SIZE AND NUMBER OF

STUDENTS AS OPPOSED TO -- >> FIFTY HIGH SCHOOLS, WE HAVE 50 HIGH SCHOOLS. AND THEY VARY IN SIZE.

AND WE HAVE HIGH SCHOOLS THAT ARE AT 4300, THE WHOLE THAT ARE K-12 CAMPUSES 4300 STUDENTS AND WE HAVE OTHERS THAT ARE 1800 STUDENTS. IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE NEEDS AND WANTS OF THE COMMUNITY. WE ARE NOT -- WE HAVE TO LISTEN TO OUR PARENTS AND WHAT ARE THE NEEDS AND WANTS THAT THEY HAVE.

NOT ALL OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS HAVE VARSITY FOOTBALL OR JV FOOTBALL.

OR TACKLE FOOTBALL. >> I UNDERSTAND THAT, NOT

EVERYONE PLAYS THAT. >> WE PUT IT OUT THERE.

WE PUT IT OUT THERE. >> AND I ONLY SAY THIS BECAUSE WE HAVE A LONG NIGHT. WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE A HIGH SCHOOL AND SAYING LOOK, WE CAN ONLY OFFER X AND Y.

I'M A PARENT BUT I'M ALSO SAYING I WANT THE BEST PRODUCT FOR OUR CITY. LET'S BE HONEST.

COLLEGE NOW IS NOT JUST YOUR GRADES, RIGHT? IT IS EXTRACURRICULARS, IT IS WHO YOU ARE AS A PERSON AND WHAT YOU DO. AND HIGH SCHOOLS WHAT FORMULATES THAT FOR KIDS. SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS HELP OUR STUDENTS, I WANT THEM TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO GROW.

BUT I DON'T WANT IS TO PUT A HIGH SCHOOL INNER-CITY JUST BECAUSE WE THINK IT IS HELPING BUT WE ARE GIVING SOMETHING THAT

IS UNDERMINING OVERALL. >> I CAN GUARANTEE YOU IT WILL NOT UNDERMINE THE OVERALL GOAL BECAUSE THE FIRST PRIORITY IS THE STUDENTS. IS A FATHER OF FIVE AND TWO OF MY SONS, ONCE GRADUATED TWO YEARS AGO AND ONE IS GRADUATING THIS YEAR, ONE IS IN THE ARTS PROGRAM.

THE SCHOOL THAT IS IN THE ARTS PROGRAM DOESN'T HAVE A PERFORMING VENUE, THEATER, THANK YOU.

THEY DO IT IN THE CAFETERIA AND THERE IS A STAGE.

AND FOR FOUR YEARS HE CAME OVER EVERY DAY AND SAID WHY DO WE HAVE A THEATER? THAT SAME GROUP JUST WENT UP THE STATES THIS PAST YEAR AND AND ONE THE MAJORITY OF THE AWARDS.

AND THOSE THAT PERFORMED ON THE MAIN STAGE AND TAMPER FOR THE ENTIRE STATE OF FLORIDA. BECAUSE IT IS NOT ABOUT THE PHYSICAL PLANT, IT IS ABOUT WHAT WE ARE BUILDING AND THOSE STUDENTS, IT IS THOSE TEACHERS. AND WE SAW HERE TODAY, I WITNESSED IT HERE TODAY. I WANT TO HIRE THAT YOUNG LADY THAT IS IN THE SPEECH AND DEBATE CLASS.

SHE IS A LOT MORE ENTERTAINING SETTING UP YOUR THAN I AM.

AND SHE TURNED TO THAT TEACHER AND SAID THANKS TO YOU.

THAT MIXER DIFFERENCE. SO I GUARANTEE WE WILL NOT -- WE NEVER HAVE, WE ARE NEVER GOING TO SHORTCHANGE OUR STUDENTS.

>> I BELIEVE YOU. I BELIEVE YOU.

WHAT MY CONCERN IS NOT ABOUT SHORTCHANGING, IT IS ONLY ABLE TO DO SO MUCH WITH WHAT YOU HAVE.

YOU HAVE DESIGNED AND CULTIVATED IS BASED OFF OF A BLUEPRINT AND A SITE PLAN THAT YOU HAD A FULLY BAKED CAKE.

KNOW WHAT I WORRY ABOUT IS WE ARE ADDING A NEW TIER TO A CAKE THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN BUILT AND SAYING WE CAN FIGURE IT OUT, WE WILL CUT A BIT OFF HERE BUT IT IS GOING TO WORK.

I'M JUST WORRIED -- >> WE HAVEN'T CUT A CORNER, WE WOULD NOT BE STANDING UP HERE AND TELLING TO ASK YOU TO APPROVE THIS IF I THOUGHT IT WAS CUTTING A CORNER.

[02:35:02]

WE BUILT SIX OR SEVEN SITES% ACROSS THE UNITED STATES ON A

YEARLY BASIS. >> BEER UP HERE TODAY ASKING FOR THIS BECAUSE YOUR PARENTS ARE ASKING YOU TO ASK US.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE PARENTS ARE ASKING FOR.

AND YOU DECIDE TO GO TO SOMERSET OR MSD OR WHATEVER.

EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT PRIORITIES AND THEY'RE LOOKING FOR DIFFERENT THINGS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO SOMERSET. SO IF SOMEBODY DECIDES, WELL, I WANT TO PLAY TACKLE FOOTBALL THEN YOU WILL NOT GO TO SOMERSET. AND WILL PROBABLY NOT GO TO MSD

EITHER. >> THAT IS A GOOD POINT.

>> WOW! I'VE GOT TWO SONS WHO PLAY FOOTBALL AND THEY WILL BE THE FIRST ONES TO SAY --

>> JUST GOING TO LET IT SLIDE? >> GO AHEAD.

>> THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY.

THIS IS ALLOWING THE CHILDREN WITHIN YOUR COMMUNITY ANOTHER OPTION. THE 2000-3000 --

>> HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU WILL GET THE ENROLLMENT? YOU HAVEN'T HAD THE ENROLLMENT, HENCE THE GYMNASIUM.

YOU HAVE DONE WELL, I'M NOT SAYING, BUT YOU HAVEN'T HAD THE

ENROLLMENT THAT YOU HAVE WANTED. >> WE HAVE.

WE HAVE HAD THE ENROLLMENT THAT WE WANTED.

>> WHY WASN'T THE GYMNASIUM -- I THOUGHT --

>> WHAT I SAID WAS WE BUILT THE FIRST PHASE, AS YOU HEARD.

WE WERE ABLE TO BUILD ON 1100 STUDENTS STATION BUILDING, GROWING UP TO 1154 WHEN WE CLOSE OFF THE THREE CLASSROOMS. TYPICALLY, K-8 AT 1100 STUDENTS WOULD NOT JUSTIFY BUILDING A GYM FOR ONE. 'S THE PLAN WAS TO ALWAYS COME BACK AND REQUEST. WE ASKED FOR IT THEN.

WE ASKED FOR EIGHT YEARS AGO. AND THE LEADERS AT THAT POINT

SAID NO. >> I'VE GOT TO STOP YOU THERE.

BECAUSE I WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, AT BEEN HERE FOR A LONG TIME BUT IT WASN'T AS KNEE-DEEP AS THE MAYOR WAS BECAUSE I WASN'T ON THE DAYS. BUT IT WAS AFTER -- AB IN YOUR FIRST ITERATION, BUT ONCE I WENT TO IN SEPTEMBER 2018, IT WAS A LETTER K-8 PROJECT BUT THE GYM WAS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE.

>> THE GYM WAS ONE OF THE PHASES THAT WAS GOING TO BE BUILT.

THE GYM WAS ONE OF THE PHASES. AND I DON'T DENY THAT.

AND AS YOU HEARD FROM SCOTT, WE ARE MAKING THE GYM EVEN BIGGER NOW BECAUSE NOW IT HAS A TRACK, NOW SOMEBODY MENTIONED, THE BAND ROOM, THAT IS THE SPECIALTY AREA.

>> BUT IT IS ALSO THE LAST OF THE PHASES.

WHICH IS THE CONCERN. >> IF THAT IS THE CONCERN, WE CAN CROSS THAT BRIDGE. IF THAT IS YOUR CONCERN, IN THINK WE CAN CROSS THAT BRIDGE. IF THAT IS YOUR CONCERN, WE CAN CROSS THAT BRIDGE. YOU JUST HAVE TO HELP ME WITH THE ENROLLMENT SO THAT I CAN GO AHEAD AND SAY ONCE WE BUILD IT AND IT IS HERE, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND FILL IT AS LONG AS WE MEET OUR CONDITIONS OF THE TRAFFIC AND THE TRAFFIC MONITORING AND SO FORTH. IF YOU GUYS HELP ME BALANCE THAT OUT, I'M MORE THAN HAPPY. THIS IS BEEN WORKED OUT AND AGAIN, FUNCTIONALITY OF THE SCHOOL SO WHY YOU FINISH OR

WHETHER BUILDING PHASE ONE. >> EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE MIDDLE SCHOOL DAY PHASE MIDDLE SCHOOL IN.

>> WHAT YOU BEEN TRYING TO BUILD THERE IS TREMENDOUS IN MY MIND, YOU HAVE A GYM AND THE PRINCIPAL THERE, A JAM IN THE STAFF AND THE TEACHERS AND THE PARENTS WHO ARE INVOLVED.

AND AS I'VE SAID, I GOT TONS OF FRIENDS WHO HAVE KIDS THERE AND ADORE IT. OUR CONCERN IS, I THINK IS THE COMMISSIONER STATED AND I SHARE IT, OUR CONCERN IS, DOUBLING UP WITH ALL THE ACCOUTREMENT ISSUES BOTH FROM THE CITY'S PERSPECTIVE -- AND I LOOKED AT THE NUMBERS. 390 KIDS OUT OF THE 1019, ABOUT 38% ARE FROM WHICH I TOTALLY APPRECIATE.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DOUBLING AT. AND THEN ALL OF THE OTHER ACCOUTREMENT ISSUES, THE TIMING OF THE BUILDINGS, THE TIMING OF THE GYM, TRAFFIC ISSUES. I'VE GOT CONCERNS WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO YET WITH THIS THIRD-FLOOR PLAY AREA FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT. IT SCARES THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME. WHERE THE CAPS AND ALL THAT.

[02:40:04]

>> THIS IS WHY WE WANTED TO PUT EVERYTHING OUT TODAY.

BECAUSE WE'VE GOT A TWO WEEK PERIOD BETWEEN NOW AND THE 20TH WHEN WE COME BACK. IT WAS IMPORTANT TO HEAR WHAT WERE YOUR CONCERNS THAT WE CAN IDENTIFY THEM.

WE HEARD SOME OF THEM BACK THROUGH STAFF BUT THIS MAKES IT MUCH MORE CLEAR AND MUCH MORE TRANSPARENT COMMUNICATION TO BE ABLE TO SAY THESE ARE THE THINGS WE NEED TO DO.

I CAN ADDRESS ANY OF THOSE IF THE TIMING OF IT -- ONCE I HAVE THE SECOND BUILDING, BUILDING B UP AND I WILL SAY THIS, I WILL TELL YOU BECAUSE I CAN MAKE THIS DECISION, ONCE WE HAVE BUILDING B DONE, IF STAFF WORKS WITH US AND YOU WANT THE GYM DONE AT THE SAME TIME, I CAN DO IT. BUT IT WILL CREATE STRAINS ON PARKING ON-SITE. IN THOSE AREAS, WE CAN DO IT.

>> I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT TRYING TO PUT PRESSURE ON YOU TO BUILD THE GYMNASIUM. BUT IF THIS IS WHAT YOU DO FOR A LIVING, FOR US TO SAY YOU NEED TO BUILD A GYM SOONER.

BUT WHY DOES THE GYM NEED TO GO SOONER?

I'M JUST ASKING. >> I WAS ALSO TRYING TO ADDRESS THE POINTS WHICH WERE ABOUT THE OVERALL GROWTH.

WEATHER REDUCES THE GOOD THINGS THAT ARE THERE NOW.

>> CAN I ASK ANOTHER QUESTION? SORRY, THIS ONE MIGHT BE DUMB ALSO. WHY ADD TO ALL OF THE OTHER GRADES? IF THE GOAL IS TO AT A HIGH SCHOOL AND WE'RE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT SOME CONSTRAINT ON CAPACITY, WHY HAVE THE CAKE AND EAT IT TOO? WHEN IT TO SAY WE BUILT A REALLY GOOD LETTER K-8 AND HOW WE WANT

TO BUILDING 9-12. >> YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO FILL AND HAVE THE ENROLLMENT TO BE ABLE TO FILL.

>> BUT KNOW WHAT I'M HEARING THEN IS WERE NOT COMPETENT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ATTRACT STUDENTS NEW TO A HIGH SCHOOL.

YOU WILL ONLY FILL FROM THE FEEDER FUND.

AND THAT'S WHAT I HEAR. >> FIRST OF ALL, MOST STUDENTS DO NOT BELIEVE -- IF THEY ARE IN NINTH GRADE, GOING TO SCHOOL WITH 11 TO 12 GREATEST BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT MOVE FROM NINTH OR 12TH GRADE. SEE HER POINT OF ENTRY OF SIXTH GRADE AND NINTH GRADE AND THAT IS WHERE YOU WILL PICK THEM

UP. >> I THINK YOU MENTIONED IN ONE OF THE SLIDES, I WOULD ASSUME YOU HAVE A HIGH INFLUX OF SIXTH-GRADERS. BECAUSE YOU HAVE A HIGHER INFLUX OF SIXTH-GRADERS AND A LOT OF TIMES THOSE PEOPLE ARE LOOKING

FOR SIX THROUGH 12. >> THEY HAVE 103 RIGHT NOW.

>> I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE POINT I DIDN'T HAVE TO FINISH

EARLIER, -- >> A LOT OF PEOPLE MAY NOT --

>> THAT IS THE CURRENT SITUATION AND A FORTUNATELY I HAVE LOST SOME BECAUSE OF THAT. BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THAT HIGH SCHOOL OPTION. THEY ARE MOVING TO OTHER SCHOOLS THAT HAVE A 6-12 MODEL BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT.

IF THEY WANT ONE PLACE FOR THEIR CHILD AND I THINK THEY WERE HOPING THAT WE WOULD ALREADY BE IN THAT STAGE.

WHEN IT COMES TO THE HIGH SCHOOL COMPONENT BECAUSE I KEEP HEARING THAT WE ARE SHORTCHANGING AND WE ARE NOT GIVING THEM MAYBE WHAT THEY DESERVE. BUT MAY BE WHAT SOME CHILDREN DON'T DESERVE IS TO BE IN A SCHOOL OF 2000 OR 3000 HIGH SCHOOLERS. MAYBE THEY THRIVE BETTER IN A SMALLER SETTING WHERE WE CAN PERSONALIZE THEIR SCHEDULES AND NOT NECESSARILY THROW IT INTO A COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT IS GOING TO GENERATE IT FOR THEM. THAT IS WHAT OUR SCHOOL WOULD BE DOING. WE ARE PROVIDING ANOTHER OPTION FOR THE CHILD THAT MAY NOT NECESSARILY WANT TO BE IN A SETTING IS LARGE. THEY WANT TO BE IN A SMALLER SETTING WHERE -- THIS NOT TO SAY ANYTHING, BECAUSE I THINK ALL PARKLAND SCHOOLS ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

THEY ARE ALL AMAZING. BUT WHY NOT ADD ANOTHER DYNAMIC AND ANOTHER OPTION TO THE CHILD THAT MAYBE IS GOING TO AMNESTY BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY OPTION THAT THEY HAVE? BUT MAYBE THEY WOULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE IN A SCHOOL THAT MAYBE DOESN'T HAVE, LIKE I SAID, 2000.

>> AIRES THE SAME ISSUE THAT THE OTHER COMMISSIONER RAISED IS THAT WHEN I EXPECT THE APPLICATION TO COME IN HEARING THAT YOU WANTED TO ADD 600 STUDENTS,, I WAS QUESTIONED BY THE NUMBER WAS IN 1800. AND SAID IT WAS 2100.

BECAUSE THAT SEEMS TO ME THAT WE ARE NOT JUST ADDING A HIGH SCHOOL WITH 150 PER, BUT ANOTHER 30% WITH K-8.

>> IN ORDER TO OFFER SPECIFIC PROGRAMMING, EVEN RIGHT NOW AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, 275 STUDENTS IN A MIDDLE SCHOOL IS A CHALLENGE TO BE ABLE TO OFFER A NUMBER OF ELECTIVE OPTIONS.

SO BY HAVING THE HIGH SCHOOLERS AT 672, THAT ALLOWS ME WITH OUR

[02:45:01]

BECAUSE YOU ARE LIMITED WITH THE NUMBER WHEN YOUR NUMBER IS SO LOW. FISCALLY IT IS MORE BENEFICIAL BECAUSE OF THAT. SO IT WOULD BE MORE OF THAT SIX THROUGH 12 MODEL. THE MIDDLE SCHOOLERS -- CURRENTLY I HAVE MIDDLE SCHOOLERS THAT ARE ALREADY TAKING DUAL ENROLLMENT CLASSES, COLLEGE COURSES.

THAT ALLOWS ME TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL MORE HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OPPORTUNITIES, OR OPPORTUNITIES FOR DUAL ENROLLMENT AND HOPEFULLY GRADUATE STUDENTS WITH THEIR AA. IF THERE'S ONLY 672 OF THEM AND I HAVE 178 SENIORS, TRUST ME, THAT IS GOING TO BE GOAL.

>> AND I THINK THE CORAL SPRINGS CHARTER ORDER -- CHARTER, THEY HAVE WRESTLING, I KNOW FOR SURE. THEY HAVE SIXTH-GRADERS WHO WRESTLE VARSITY. BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE QUITE THE NUMBERS. BUT NOW THEY OPEN IT UP TO

SIXTH-GRADERS. >> LET'S PLAY THAT OUT.

LET'S SAY YOU HAVE FLAG FOOTBALL IN FOURTH GRADE THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE AND THEN YOU HAVE FOOTBALL NINTH THROUGH 12TH AND THEY PRACTICE OFF-SITE. WHERE DO THEY TYPICALLY PRACTICE? AND PARKLAND FIELD AT THE PARKER SOMEWHERE OUT OF PARKLAND? SO IT IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM AND THEN IT BECOMES THE CITY PROBLEM.

THERE IS POOR OVER. WE'RE LOOKING AT A COP.

THE CUP CAN ONLY FIT SO MUCH WATER.

WE ARE TRYING TO POUR MORE WATER RENT AND KEEP SAYING WE WANT MORE PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO DRINK FROM IT.

WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY, DON'T YOU WANT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY HERE TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY MORE OF THE BEVERAGES TO TRY TO MAXIMIZE THE META-PEOPLE? WHAT I KEEP THINKING IN MY HEAD, EVERY TIME I KEEP HEARING -- I EVEN HEARD YOU SAY IT, ALL I KEEP THINKING TO MYSELF IS SOMETIMES JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN, DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD. AND THAT IS WHAT I KEEP FEELING.

IT FEELS LIKE WE ARE TRYING TO EFFECTUATE MORE STUDENTS TO BRING IN MORE REVENUE. I GET A, THAT IS A BUSINESS.

BUT I WORRY THAT YOU WERE DOING IT AT THE DETRIMENT.

>> I THINK IT IS -- THEY ARE TRYING TO KEEP THEIR FAMILIES

TOGETHER LONGER. >> I UNDERSTAND THAT.

AND IN A PERFECT WORLD I WOULD SAY YES.

>> INSTEAD OF HAVING PEOPLE GO OKAY, I CAN GO HERE UNTIL SIXTH-GRADE OR EIGHTH-GRADE, NOW THEY ARE ABLE TO KEEP THE SAME

PEOPLE. >> I UNDERSTAND, I WANT THAT FOR EVERYONE. BUT YOU HAVE TO OFFSET AND BALANCE THAT WANT WITH THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY.

AND I WANT TO VESELY GIVE THEM THAT BUT I'M THINKING ABOUT WHAT ARE ALL OF THE EXTERNAL FACTORS THAT PLAY INTO THAT? WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN A VACUUM AND I'M WORRIED THAT I HAVE NO DOUBT YOU DO AN AMAZING JOB. I DON'T QUESTION FOR A SECOND.

IT IS THE QUESTION OF EVEN WITH DOING AN AMAZING JOB, HOW DOES THAT IMPACT THE COMMUNITY? I JUST DON'T THINK WE ARE GETTING TO THAT POINT. WE'RE DONE ABOUT MANAGING TRAFFIC AND ALL OF THAT, THAT IS PROBABLY THE LEAST OF MY

CONCERNS. >> I FEEL LIKE IT IS IMPACTING ALREADY BECAUSE A LOT OF THESE PARENTS AND FAMILIES ARE GOING TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS, THEY ARE NOT EVEN STAYING WITHIN THE LOCAL

SCHOOL SYSTEM. >> YOU ARE ONLY ABLE TO PROVIDE 168 SEATS PER CLASS. KASTELIC WE'RE PROVIDING FOR EVERYONE AND PARKLAND TO ONCE A NEW OPTION, COME ON IN.

YOU WILL ONLY PROVIDE A VERY LIMITED NUMBER.

>> CORRECT, THAT LIMITED NUMBER MAY BE THOSE 168 STUDENTS AGO FEEL COMFORTABLE IN THAT 2000 SCHOOL SETTING.

MITRAL AND GO TO A SCHOOL THAT DOESN'T HAVE A FLAG FOOTBALL TEAM IN ONE OF MY VOICE IS DYING TO PLAY FLAG FOOTBALL.

>> I'M NOT DEBATING WHETHER THAT IS GOOD FOR KIDS.

WHETHER THAT'S GOOD OR NOT, GREAT.

I'M TALKING TO WHETHER THAT SCHOOL IS GOOD FOR THE CITY.

>> RIGHT NOW IT HASN'T LET YOU DOWN.

IT IS THE NUMBER 1 -- >> IT HASN'T LET ME DOWN.

WITH A GROWING EXPANDING IT IN A WAY THAT WASN'T PLANNED.

>> I HAVE A BIG SIGN IN MY OFFICE THAT SAYS THE SAME AND I TRULY BELIEVE THAT IF WE ARE GOING TO AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE OURSELVES OFF AND NOT GIVE IT THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT IT DESERVES, WE ARE CLOSING THE MIND-SET.

I THINK THE MIND-SET IS ABOUT -- JUST LOOK YOU ARE LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE, AND I APPRECIATE IT BECAUSE YOU ARE THINKING FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, I AM ALSO SEEING IT FOR THE CURRENT PARENTS AND STUDENTS THAT WE HAVE.

AND I HAVE A MIND-SET OF MIND-SET IS EVERYTHING AND WE HAVE GOTTEN TO THIS POINT IN THE DEMAND IS THAT THEY WANT TO CONTINUE BECAUSE THEY FEEL THAT IT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL AND THAT IT HAS ONLY BENEFITED THEIR FAMILY, WHY STOP THERE?

>> BECAUSE AGAIN, YOU WERE LOOKING AT IT MYOPICALLY OF WHETHER IT BENEFITS THE SCHOOL AND THE FAMILIES.

I GET IT, THERE IS HOWEVER MANY -- OF COURSE.

THAT IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT.

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT. EVERY DECISION WE MAKE, WE WILL NOT PLEASE EVERYONE, WE TRY TO DO THE BEST.

BUT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IS RECOGNIZED WE ALL WANT TO HELP THOSE FAMILIES. I LIVE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER, I MAY ONE DAY BE ONE OF THOSE FAMILIES.

[02:50:01]

>> I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT -- I HEAR YOU ARE SAYING AND I'M NOT DISAGREEING AT ALL, BUT I THINK PART OF THE REASON THEY ARE HERE IS BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT THEIR STUDENTS ARE TELLING THEIR PARENTS -- THEY'RE TELLING THEM THEY WANT.

WHICH PROBABLY HURTS THEIR ENROLLMENT TO SOME EXTENT.

BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE MAKING OTHER CHOICES BECAUSE THIS DOESN'T FULFILL THEIR NEEDS, WHICH IS KEEPING THEIR KIDS TOGETHER, WHETHER THEY COME IN KINDERGARTEN OR FOURTH-GRADER

SIX GREAT OR WHAT EVER. >> AND I WANT TO GIVE THEM THOSE OPTIONS, DOES WANT TO DO IT IN A WAY THAT MAKES SENSE FOR EVERYONE. BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT IT JUST FOR THIS SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE AND WHETHER OR NOT THE SCHOOL CAN MAKE IT WORK. WHAT I'M SAYING IS CAN THE SCHOOL MAKE IT WORK WITHIN THE BIGGER CONFINES OF OUR CITY

PLANNING? >> CAN I ASK YOU A QUICK QUESTION? I UNDERSTAND EVERY SITE IS UNIQUE, ABSOLUTELY GET IT. BUT YOU HAD BUILT A LOT OF SCHOOLS, YOUR COMPANY HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING THIS AND MANY DIFFERENT PLACES. THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A SCHOOL THAT WAS ON A VERY SMALL FOOTPRINT AND IN A SPECIFIC COMMUNITY THAT YOU WANTED TO EXPAND TO INCLUDE HIGH SCHOOL. THAT HAS TO HAVE HAPPENED.

A NUMBER OF TIMES. TELL ME HOW THAT HAS GONE.

I'M CURIOUS, WHAT IS YOUR ONE OR TWO OR THREE MOST SIMILAR

EXPANSION PROJECTS? >> I CAN NAME MORE THAN ONE OR TWO OR THREE. AS YOU HEARD FROM OUR CONSTRUCTION ARCHITECT, THIS PLAN A BUILDING IN PHASES IS VERY COMMON. SO WE CREATE THE PHASES, WE OBVIOUSLY LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY AND THEN WE ADOPT BOTH FACING AND COMMUNITY. SO RIGHT NOW IN FLORIDA, WHICH IS AN ORLANDO, THE ROAD WE ARE BUILDING THEY ARE, FIVE PHASES WAS THE ORIGINAL PLAN FOR THE K-12 PHASES, ABOUT 3000

STUDENTS. >> IS THAT GROUND UP OR DID YOU

HAVE AN EXISTING SCHOOL? >> GROUND UP.

>> I AM MORE INTERESTED IN A SCHOOL THAT EXISTED AS A K-8 OR

LET'S SAY K THROUGH FIVE. >> THERE'S MANY THAT ARE APPROVED AS A K-12 BUT WE ONLY START THEM AS A K-8 BECAUSE WE WILL GROW OUR OWN, ESPECIALLY SPEAK GET TO THE HIGH SCHOOL.

SO WE DON'T START THE HIGH SCHOOL UNTIL THE FOURTH OR FIFTH YEAR OF THE SCHOOL BEING IN OPERATION.

AND WE DON'T START UNTIL THAT PHASE IS THE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING. WE ARE DOING THAT RIGHT NOW ON WESLEY CHAPEL. IS A K-8 AND THEN WE BOUGHT A PIECE OF LAND THAT WAS CONTINUOUS.

AND THERE IS THE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING PERIODS AND OTHER HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING IS GOING TO BE BUILT THERE

>> MOST PEOPLE WILL NOT SEND THEIR KIDS TO HIGH SCHOOL THAT HASN'T PROVEN ITSELF AT THE EARLY STAGES.

ARE YOU GOING TO DESCEND YOURSELF TO BRAND-NEW HIGH SCHOOL? IF YOU WENT SOMEWHERE K-8 AND THEN A BRAND-NEW HIGH SCHOOL OPENS UP, YOU WOULD BE LEERY OF THAT SCHOOL. BECAUSE YOU WOULD WANT TO KNOW.

BECAUSE HIGH SCHOOL IS OBVIOUS THE --

>> I DID BUT IT WAS A PUBLIC SCHOOL.

[LAUGHTER] WAS ONLY NINE, TENTH AND

11TH GRADE. >> THIS EXIST, THIS ISN'T A REINVENTION. AND I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND.

BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE DYNAMICS OF THAT HAPPENED IN THOSE COMMUNITIES. I WANT TO KNOW HOW IT AFFECTED

THOSE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. >> CAN I PROPOSE SOMETHING? SCOTT OR ANYONE, CAN WE GET THOSE EXAMPLES? I THINK THAT IS A GREAT POINT. LET US SEE THE SUCCESS IN A SMALL FOOTPRINT THAT IS SIMILAR, NOT NECESSARILY APPLES TO APPLES, BUT THAT WE CAN LOOK AT AT THIS MEETING AND WE CAN REALLY UNDERSTAND IT. I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.

>> I JUST WANT TO EXPAND UPON THAT, COMMISSIONER.

[02:55:03]

IS THERE IS SIMILAR FOOTPRINT IN TERMS OF SQUARE FOOTAGE, IN TERMS OF LOT SIZE WHERE THEY HAVE DONE SIMILAR PHASES?

>> IN TERMS OF COMMUNITY CHALLENGE.

THIS IS A CHALLENGE, WANT TO KNOW HOW IT WAS ADDRESSED APPREE ASKED FOR THAT, WE HAVE KNOWN SOME EXAMPLES OF THAT SO I HAVE MANY EXAMPLES OF THAT. WHAT I CAN STAND BE OF NEVER CLD DOWN A SITE THAT WE HAD BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP.

WE NEVER FROM A SITE, WE HAVE NEVER ABANDONED FLAG OND BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP. WE WILL NOT DO THAT.

A LOT OF DUE DILIGENCE GOES INTO COMING HERE BEFORE YOU TODAY.

THESE ARE -- WHAT IS THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE AND THE THREE NEW BUILDINGS? THE THREE.

THOSE THREE. WHAT IS THE SQUARE FOOTAGE?

>> IT IS PROBABLY LIKE 80,000 BECAUSE WERE FIFTYSOMETHING NOW,

SOMEWHERE AROUND THERE? >> WE'RE BUILDING TO AROUND 125.

>> SO 70,000? >> BUT 50 OF THAT IS THE GYM.

>> TWENTY-SIX IS THE GYM. >> SO YOU WERE LOOKING AT SOMEWHERE WITH FFE AND EVERYTHING.

WHILE YOU ARE DOING THAT IT MAY BE HELPFUL TO ADDRESS SOME OF YOUR CONCERNS. WHERE ARE THE EP ENROLMENT NUMBERS FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL GONE FIVE YEARS AFTER?

>> I THINK IT'S MORE THAN THAT. AGAIN, I DON'T QUESTION YOUR GUYS' ABILITY TO OPERATE THE BUILDER SCHOOL.

WHAT'S GOING TO PROVE THE ISSUE IS WHAT ARE THOSE NUMBERS AND THE CHANGE OF -- THE CHANGE OF A DYNAMIC OF AN AREA.

IT JUST IS. IT'S THE WAY THINGS CURRENTLY ARE STRUCTURED. WE LOOK WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU CLOSED OFF AN AREA OF LOCK OR HOMER, WHATEVER.

OUR CITY HAS SUCH A UNIQUE ARTERY SET OF ARTERIES THAT WE ARE VERY HEAVILY INFLUENCED WHEN ONE AREA CHANGES AND WHAT I AM WORRIED ABOUT IS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A CHANGE THAT I AM NOT SAYING YOU WON'T MANAGE WELL YOU WON'T PUT OUT AN AMAZING PRODUCT. A CHANGE WHAT IS STILL AN UNKNOWN HENDRIKS FARM SITTING OUT HERE THAT COULD BECOME A VERY ACTIVE AREA. WE DON'T KNOW.

>> I WAS HEARING ABOUT HENDRIKS FARM WHEN I WAS HERE 10 YEARS

AGO. >> I HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT IT

FOR 30, 40. >> SOME DAY, SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN. THERE WILL BE ANOTHER NEED FOR ADDITIONAL HIGH SCHOOL IN PARKLAND.

WE ARE ALMOST THERE NOW. OBVIOUSLY M & D HAD CAPACITY ISSUES. PEOPLE ARE MAKING OTHER SCHOOL CHOICES WHETHER IT'S PRIVATE SCHOOL, CHARTER SCHOOL.

I HAVE TO WORRY THAT LET'S SAY HENDRIKS DOES BECOME PART OR WHATEVER THERE IS NOW AN INFLUX OF HOW MANY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHETHER THEY ARE PARKLAND RESIDENTS OR BROWARD COUNTY OR BOCA RATON. THE NEED FOR HIGH SCHOOL WILL EXCEED BEYOND 750 STUDENTS. AND THE QUESTION WILL BE WELL, WE HAVE MSD AND WE HAVE SUMMER SET SO WE ARE KIND OF IN PURGATORY. WE HAVE ENOUGH OF A NEED TO HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL BUT WE SILL HAVE NOT ENOUGH ROOM BECAUSE MSD IS BIG BUT SOMERSET CAN ONLY FIT SO MANY.

I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF WE SAY YES TO THIS AND NOW TEN YEARS FROM NOW PARKLAND ROYAL ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT FINISHING UP AT THE END OF [INDISCERNIBLE]. YOU WILL HAVE MORE HOUSING THAN WHATEVER WE KNOW TO DO WITH ON HENDRIKS.

SO FROM A PLANNING PERSPECTIVE I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE HIGH SCHOOL OTHER THAN THE SCHOOLBOARD PROPERTY ON HILLSBOROUGH, WHATEVER. SO IF WE ARE TRYING TO PROVIDE FOR A LARGER CITY RIGHT YOU TALK ABOUT THE GROWTH 25,000, 30,000.

I DON'T THINK WE HAVE MUCH MORE ROOM TO GROW BUT LET'S PRESUME IT WILL BE ABOUT 45 TO 50,000 AT SOME POINT OF BUILD-OUT.

YOU GUYS ARE ONLY CAP AT X NUMBER OF STUDENTS, IT WILL NOT GO ABOVE THAT. AT SOME POINT LET'S SAY ALL THESE OTHER RESIDENTS COME IN WHAT DOES PARKLAND DO TO PROVIDE

FOR ALL THESE STUDENTS? >> WHEN THE HENDERSON PROPERTY COMES UP THEY WILL HAVE TO CITE AK 12 YOU WILL HAVE TO CITE THAT. THAT WILL BE THE PLANNING THAT WILL HAVE TO HAPPEN THERE WHETHER AT THAT TIME IT HAPPENS THROUGH TRADITIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM OR HAPPENS THROUGH A CHARTER SCHOOL OR HAPPENS THROUGH PRIVATE SCHOOL BUT THAT'LL HAVE TO BE CITED TO BE ABLE TO MEET THE DEMAND BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE THAT.

SO -- >> MAKE SURE THE CITY KEEPS IT FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES.

[03:00:03]

>> THERE WON'T EVEN BE A PLOT FOR IT.

IT WILL HAVE TO BE OUTSIDE THE CITY OF PARKLAND TO ACCOMMODATE

WHATEVER THIS ROAD -- >> NO, OF COURSE NOT.

>> EDUCATIONAL WITH THE DEVELOPER.

>> YOU ARE SAYING WE WOULD BE ABLE TO MANDATE.

YOU ARE TALKING IN AN ASSUMPTION AS IF THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME

VACANT LOT AT SOME POINT -- >> NO, WHEN HENDRIKS KNOWS WE

WILL BE ABLE TO SAY. >> IT MAY NOT BE A PARKLAND CITY

ORGANIZED SCHOOL. >> THERE WILL STILL HAVE TO BE A

REQUIREMENT. >> OF COURSE.

>> OF COURSE. MY POINT IS WE TALK ABOUT PARKLAND KIDS GOING TO PARKLAND SCHOOLS, RIGHT.

AT SOME POINT IF WE -- >> BROWARD COUNTY PUBLIC

SCHOOLS. >> IF WE HAD LET'S SAY HENDRIKS WHATEVER HAPPENS IF WE ALREADY HAVE HERE WE KNOW THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES THEIR DECISION WHETHER TO OPEN UP A NEW SCHOOL THEY DO THE CAPACITY STUDY.

SO WHAT I AM STAYING IS ARE WE SETTING OURSELVES UP IN A WEIRD PURGATORY WHERE WE WILL HAVE ENOUGH TO INCREASE FOR THE FAMILIES OF SOMERSET'S GO THAT'S GREAT BUT AT SOME POINT IF THE CITY EXPANDS THAT HIGH SCHOOL IS NOT GOING TO BENEFIT ANYONE OTHER THAN THAT SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOW ELEVATING UP

INTO IT. >> COMMISSIONER.

DECISION. >> SORRY.

COMMISSIONER, I THINK YOU ARE MITIGATING EXACTLY THE PROBLEM THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO SOLVE. YOU ARE MITIGATING BY SAYING OKAY PART OF IT IS NOW GOING TO BE TAKEN INTO MY CONTROL TO MAKE THAT DECISION AND APPROVE THIS AND MITIGATE PART OF IT.

YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SOLVE ALL OF IT WITH THIS APPROVAL AND I UNDERSTAND AND I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU ARE THINKING BUT AT LEAST YOU WILL BE MITIGATING IT.

WHAT I CAN TELL YOU BASED ON WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE IS TO NOT CAUSE ANY ISSUE ON THAT CORNER. TO BE ABLE TO CUE COMPLETELY INSIDE THE PROPERTY TO HAVE THE ABILITY -- YOU HAVE THE HAMMER BECAUSE WE HAD THE BRIAN KELLY CHILDREN'S COLLEGE FUND BECAUSE I PAY THEM EVERY MONTH OR EVERY YEAR TO DO THIS CONSTANTLY, RIGHT. AND SO THOSE ARE THE GUARANTEES.

THOSE ARE THE GUARANTEES THAT YOU ARE DOING.

SO YOU ARE MITIGATING A POTENTIAL ISSUE.

ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT GOES THERE WILL HAVE THE REQUIREMENT TO HAVE TO CREATE SCHOOLS. IT'S A REQUIREMENT.

SO THEY WILL HAVE TO DO THAT. I CAN'T FORESEE THE FUTURE OF WHEN THAT WILL BE AND HOW THAT WILL BE AND WHY THAT'S GOING TO BE. I KNOW THAT LAST TIME WE WERE HERE WE FOUGHT TO GET THAT INTERSECTION DONE.

WE WANTED THAT INTERSECTION DONE AND WE WERE REJECTED.

WE SENT OVER SOMEBODY REMAIN ME 430? HOW MUCH WAS IT? $436,000 BEEN SITTING IN THE COUNTY IN AN ACCOUNT FOR EIGHT YEARS.

>> THIS IS FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT?

>> YES. WE SENT A CHEQUE.

IT'S BEEN SITTING THERE FOR EIGHT YEARS.

WE HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED TO DO.

AGAIN I APPRECIATE AND I DON'T WANT TO ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM

NOT TAKE IN -- >> YOU ARE DOING YOUR JOB.

>> -- WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. I CAN TELL YOU THAT NOTHING IS GOING TO -- THIS SCHOOL WILL BE SUCCESSFUL.

IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

WE TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS.

I AM A SOMERSET PARENT. MY WIFE AND I CHOSE TO MOVE -- I AM BLESSED. COULD I SEND MY KIDS ANYWHERE WE WANTED TO. COULD I SHOW YOU DATA WHERE PARENTS CHOOSING TWO THINGS. NUMBER ONE THEY ARE CHOOSING K-12 OPTIONS OVER ANY OTHER OPTIONS AND NUBER TWO PARENTS TODAY ARE CHOOSING MORE SCHOOLS THAT ARE CLOSER TO WHERE THEY WORK THAN NECESSARILY WHERE THEY LIVE.

THERE IS STILL A LOT MORE THAT ARE GOING TO CLOSE TO WHERE THEY

LIVE. >> THAT'S NOT HELPING YOU BECAUSE WE HAVE NO WORKPLACES. [LAUGHTER]

>> I AM JUST GIVE YOU THE DATA. IT DOESN'T WORK IN EVERY NEIGHBOURHOOD. NOT ONE SIZE FITS ALL.

>> I WAS JOKING TONGUE IN CHEEK. >> I AM GIVING YOU THE DATA.

HOT MAP EVERY ONE OF OUR STUDENTS AND WHERE THEY ARE COMING FROM PALM BEACH. THEY ARE DROPPING OFF THEIR KIDS IN A SCHOOL IN THE DORAL AREA AND DRIVING ANOTHER HOUR AND-A-HALF BACK HOME. THAT'S THE REALITY.

THAT PARENTS WANT THATK 12 OPTION SO THAT THEY KNOW THAT NUMBER ONE THEY WANT THE DAY THEY DROP OFF THEIR STUDENT AND THEY ARE IN PRE-K OR K AND THAT SAME PRINCIPAL IS THERE 13 YEARS LATER AND SHAKING THEIR HANDS. THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR. I APPRECIATE AND UNDERSTAND AND AGAIN I THINK THIS DECISION WILL BE MITIGATING.

MAY I REMIND THAT YOU TODAY WE ARE HERE FOR ONE ITEM.

AND SO AND TO MAKE THAT DECISION AND I HAVE HEARD AND WE HAVE TAKEN ALL THE NOTES IF THERE IS ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR ANY OTHER THINGS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE FOR US TO ADDRESS BETWEEN NOW AND THE 20TH OUR STAFF WILL BE DEDICATED MAKING SURE WE DO

[03:05:04]

WE DO THAT. >> I HAVE ONE BASIC SIMPLE NUTS AND BOLTS ZONING QUESTIN FOR ONCE.

IS THE GYMNASIUM WILL BE TWICE THE SIZE AS WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR THE ABUTTING HOMES IN MAR-A-LAGO?

>> SQUARE FOOTAGE. SAME HEIGHT, CORRECT?

>> SAME FOOTPRINT ENTIRELY AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED AS FAR

AS THE SIZE OF THE FOUR WALLS? >> OKAY.

THEN STAFF HAS ASKED US TO INCREASE THE LANDSCAPING AND STAFF HAS ASKED FOR THE RIGHT TO INCREASE THE BUFFER ALSO.

THE BUFFER OR JUST THE LANDSCAPING?

>> THE LANDSCAPING. THE HEIGHT HASN'T CHANGED.

>> DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY SORT OF MOTION?

>> HERE IS MY THOUGHT. I WANT TO GIVE THEM ADEQUATE TIME TO -- THERE ARE MORE ISSUES HERE AND I KNOW WE HAVEN'T GOT TON THE PUBLIC COMMENT AND EVERYTHING YET WHICH WILL COME BUT I DON'T WANT THEM TO BE HAMSTRUNG BY NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE TIME TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE ISSUES.

I HAVE MORE ISSUES. I RAISED THE ISSUE WITH MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE THIRD, FOUR PLAY AREA AND SOME OF THE SAFETY CONCERNS. ETHRES STANDARDS.

STANDARDS, IS THAT INCLUDING BRINGING THE EXISTING BUILDINGS UP TO SRF AND EVERYTHING ELSE? MY THOUGHT WAS TO MOTION TO

TABLE THIS TO THE NEXT MEETING. >> BEFORE WE DO A MOTION LET'S

GO AHEAD AND GET PUBLIC COMMENT. >> SURE.

>> DOWN THE LIST? >> YES.

>> FORGIVE ME IF I STAY THIS WRONG.

YERKA SHYBON. >> GOOD EVENING.

COURTNEY HAD TO STEP AWAY. I AM HOPING SHE CAN COME BACK.

I AM HERE WITH EMILY NELSON THE PROPERTY MANAGER FOR TOWN PARK WHICH IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE SCHOOL.

I AM CURRENTLY THE PRESIDENT OF MAR-A-LAGO MASTER ASSOCIATION AND MAR-A-LAGO ESTATES. I HAVE SEEN OUR HOUSE IN MANY OF THESE RENDERINGS. OUR HOUSE IS THE THIRD HOUSE RIGHT BEHIND THE SCHOOL. I WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK ACADEMIA AND MRS. COSLOW FOR MEETING WITH US YESTERDAY ANSWERING OUR QUESTIONS AND LISTENING TO OUR CONCERNS.

I AM HERE TONIGHT ON BEHALF OF MANY OF THE RESIDENTS BETWEEN TOWN PARK AND MAR-A-LAGO ESTATES.

WE WANT TO EXPRESS OUR CONCERN REGARDING THE PROPOSED SCHOOL EXPANSION CURRENTLY THE SCHOOL ALREADY LACKS SUFFICIENT PARKING AND ADDING MORE STAFF AND MORE HIGH SCHOOL DRIVERS WILL ONLY MAKE THAT IT ISSUE WORSE. STUDENT PARKING MAY BE CONSIDERED A PRIVILEGE BUT REALISTICALLY TRY TO STOP A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT FROM COMING TO SCHOOL IN THEIR OWN CAR.

THEY ARE GOING TO FIND A PLACE TO PARK WHETHER IT'S PARKLAND COMMONS OR EE EVEN THE NEW PARK UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

>>> IT'S BEEN A HOT TOPIC TONIGHT, TRAFFIC.

I UNDERSTAND THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE HAS BEEN APPROVED.

I LITERALLY LABELLED PARKLAND A CITY OF ROUND-ABOUT.

AND IF FUNDING HAS ALREADY BEEN ALLOCATED FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHY NOT INSTALL IT NOW. WHY GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF BUILDING WITH ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND EVERYTHING A ROUND-ABOUT AND WITH THE GROWTH OF THE CITY IN FUTURE YEARS HELP TO KNOCK IT DOWN AND PUT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ANYWAYS.

I AM SORRY. WE SHOULD BE THINKING AHEAD AND BEING PROACTIVE NOW INSTEAD OF REACTIVE LATER.

ADDITIONALLY TOM PARK AT MAR-A-LAGO LOCATED DIRECTLY NEXT TO THE SCHOOL HAS EXPERIENCED REPEATED DAMAGE TO LANDSCAPING CAUSED BY VEHICLES AND GOLF CARTS PARKING IN THOSE AREAS.

WITH THIS EXPANSION WE FULLY EXPECT THOSE IMPACTS TO INCREASE. DRIVING UP OUR LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR COSTS FOR OUR COMMUNITIES WHICH ULTIMATELY INCREASE OUR HOA DUES FOR ALL THE RESIDENTS.

WE WOULD LIKE ASSURANCE THAT IS NO PARKING SIGNS WILL BE INSTALLED IN THOSE AREAS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY CONSISTENTLY ENFORCED BY THE SCHOOL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR MEANING CITATIONS ISSUED WHEN NECESSARY NOT JUST WARNINGS. WE ALSO NEED ASSURANCES THAT PRECAUTIONS WILL BE TAKEN TO PREVENT STUDENTS FROM JUMPING FENCES AND TRESPASSING INTO OUR COMMUNITIES WHICH UNFORTUNATELY HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST AND MORE RECENTLY AT PGCC.

OUR HOA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING ALL OF THE MEDIANS BE FROM UNIVERSITY TO HILLSBOROUGH AND FROM NOB HILL UP TO LACKSA HACHEY. WE UNDERSTAND THIS ORIGINATED

[03:10:02]

WOULD BE A TOTAL OF THREE MEDIANS.

ON BEHALF OF OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR RESIDENTS I RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT TRAFFIC, PARKING, SAFETY AND INFRASTRUCTURE RESPONSIBILITIES BE CLEARLY ADDRESSED BEFORE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS EXPANSION. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. ALISON?

>> COURTNEY. >> COURTNEY? WHO IS NEXT? WE WERE TRYING TO GO DOWN THE LIST BUT SINCE YOU ARE STANDING THERE GO AHEAD.

>> WHAT'S YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS PLEASE?

>> COURTNEY. 8955 WEST MAR-A-LAGO WAY.

MY NAME IS COURTNEY KATIE AND I AM THE GENERAL MANAGER OVER AT MAR-A-LAGO PARKLAND MASTER. I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE CITY STAFF AND REPRESENTATIVES FOR BEING HERE TODAY AND GO THROUGH THE PROCESS WITH US AS WELL AS PRESIDENT YERKA AND SPEAKING ON BEHALF THE COMMUNITY TONIGHT.

I WANT TO ADD A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SIDE DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE SITE. IT'S ESPECIALLY TOWN PARK AND THE MAR-A-LAGO ESTATES PERIMETER AREAS THAT PHYSICALLY BACK UP TO THE SCHOOL AND THE SURROUNDING TRAFFIC AREAS.

WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED IS NOT JUST THE EXPANSION BUT IT'S AN INCREASE TO THE OVERALL INTENSITY OF THE CAMP US OVER TIME GROWING FROM 1,000 TO 21 STUDENTS FOR K THROUGH 12.

THE PRESENTATIONS TONIGHT HEAVILY FOCUSED ON TRAFFIC STUDIES, STACKING, ROAD CAPACITIES AND OUR DAY-TO-DAY EXPERIENCE BUT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS SHOW UP ON THE ENGINEERING MODELS SO THINGS LIKE THE OVERFLOW PARKING, CONGESTION NEAR ENTRANCES, LANDSCAPING DAMAGE, CUT-THROUGH TRAFFIC, TRESPASSING CONCERNS, NOISE, OVERALL IMPACT ALL HAVE A LARGE IMPACT ON THE RESIDENTIAL HOMES THAT ARE ABUTTED TO THIS.

SO TOWN PARK HAS ALREADY EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH VEHICLES PARKING NEAR THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND ALONG THE COMMUNITY PERIMETERS DURING SCHOOL ACTIVITIES.

SO WITH THE ADDITION OF 9 THROUGH 12 STUDENT DRIVERS EXPANDED CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AND LONGER OPERATING HOURS RESIDENTS ARE UNDERSTANDABLY CONCERNED THAT THOSE IMPACTS ARE ONLY GOING TO INCREASE OVER TIME.

SO IN PREPARING FOR TONIGHT'S MEETING WE HAD ALSO BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE EMILY THE PREVIOUS MANAGER FOR THE MASTER SO WE WORK TOGETHER AND SHE HAD BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE BROWARD SHERIFF'S OFFICE REGARDING THE EXISTING SCHOOL-RELATED IMPACT THAT WE ARE ALREADY OCCURRIG DAY-TO-DAY OVER THE LAST 12 MONTHS. THAT INCLUDED THE VEHICLES IN THE TURN LANES, A COMMUNITY ENTRANCES, UNAUTHORIZED PARKING ON THE PROPERTY AND LANDSCAPING, GOLF CART OVERFLOW TRAFFIC BACKUP, SECURITY CONCERNS AT DISMISSALS AND REPORTS OF STUDENTS ENTERING RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

AND THE BROWARD SHERIFF'S OFFICE ACKNOWLEDGED THIS.

AND UNDERSTOOD IN WRITING THAT THERE WERE ISSUES ALREADY -- THAT WERE INTERIOR EXISTENCE AND OCCURRING AND THAT ENFORCEMENT DISCUSSIONS ASK AND CO-ORDINATION WOULD BE OCCURRING BUT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO BE RIGHT NOW.

THERE ARE CURRENT ISSUES. WE ARE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE FINANCIAL MAINTENANCE BURDEN BEING PLACED ON THE HOA.

THE COMMUNITIES ARE DEALING WITH DAMAGE TO THE LANDSCAPING AND BERM. IT'S NOT THAT WE WANT TO COMMUNITY TO COME FOR TRAFFIC OR IMPACT AND WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE HOA SHOULD BEAR THE MAINTENANCE COSTS.

ANOTHER CONCERN IS THE GYM RECREATIONAL AREA THAT CAME UP TONIGHT. THIS WAS A ADD-ON.

ONE CONCERN IS THE LINE OF SIGHT.

BECAUSE ONE OF THE RECREATIONAL AREAS DOES APPEAR AND THEN THE COURTS OR THE GYMNASIUM APPEAR TO ABUTT RIGHT TO THE TOWN PARK LITERALLY THEY ARE RIGHT NEXT TO ONE OF THE TOWN HOMES.

SO MY -- THE CONCERN IS GOING TO BE THE LINE OF SIGHT.

AND ARE THERE GOING TO BE VIEW ACCESS DIRECTLY INTO THE HOMES.

SO WE ARE CERTAINLY NOT AGAINST AND WE UNDERSTAND THIS IS A GREAT ADDED VALUE TO THE COMMUNITY.

WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO THE EDUCATION AND GROWTH.

WE ARE REALLY JUST ASKING THAT THE DIRECT IMPACTS OF THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES ARE REALISTICALLY ACKNOWLEDGED AND THAT THERE ARE CLEAR PROTECTIONS AND ENFORCEMENT MEASURES IN PLACE OF THE CAMPUS CONTINUES TO EXPAND.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU.

ALISON? >> VANESSA WALLACE.

YOU ARE DONE. [LAUGHTER]

[03:15:03]

NEXT. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR WALKER AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. MY NAME IS VANESSA WALLACE AND I AM A PROUD PARENT AT SOMERSET PARKLAND ACADEMY.

I AM HERE TO SPEAK STRONGLY IN FAVOUR OF OUR SCHOOL'S EXPANSION TO A FULL K THROUGH 12 CAMPUS. RIGHT NOW OUR SCHOOL GIVES MY CHILDREN SOMETHING YOU RARELY FIND IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL A SMALL PRIVATE SCHOOL FEEL ON A CHARTER SCHOOL BUDGET.

THEY WEAR UNIFORMS FIT IN SMALL CLASSES WHERE THE TEACHERS KNOW THEIR NAME AND EVERY SINGLE ADMINISTRATOR FROM THE PRINCIPAL TO MILLY AND MARIE AT THE FRONT DESK MUCH THEY KNOW OUR WHOLE FAMILY BY NAME. THE PERSONAL TOUCH HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN MAKING MY CHILDREN FEEL SAFE AND WELCOME.

ADDING A HIGH SCHOOL WILL LET THEM -- LET THAT THEME CARRYING SAME CARING ENVIRONMENT FOLLOWING THEM THROUGH GRASS.

THEY WON'T HAVE TO WALK INTO A HUGE CROWDED BUILDING WHERE THEY ARE JUST ANOTHER FACE. THEY WILL KEEP THEIR FRIENDS THAT THEY HAVE GROWN UP. THE TEACHERS WHO HAVE ALREADY UNDERSTOOD THEIR NEEDS AND THEIR HIGH EXPECTATION THAT IS THEY HAVE IT ALREADY HELPED THEM SUCCEED.

ADDITIONALLY THE SCHOOL'S LOCATION RIGHT NEAR OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD MEANS LESS TIME IN THE CAR AND MORE TIME ENJOYING OUR BIKE RIDES AND WALKS HOME. I HAVE WATCHED MY CHILDREN FLOURISH IN THE SMALL SUPPORTIVE SETTING AND I WANT EVERY FAMILY WHO CHOOSES SOMERSET TO HAVE THAT SAME EXPERIENCE ALL THE WAY THROUGH 12 GRADE. IT'S GOOD FOR THE FAMILY AND OUR WHOLE COMMUNITY. PLEASE SUPPORT THIS EXPANSION.

>> DE STEFANO. >> HI.

MY NAME IS ARSTELLI DI STEFANO. >> I AM A FELLOW PARKLAND RESIDENT AND A PARENT OF A FIRST GRADER AT SOMERSET.

OUR SIZE IS WHAT MAKES US A UNIQUE CHOICE SCHOOL.

OUR SIZE ALLOWS OUR KIDS TO BE KNOWN BY MOST IF NOT ALL STAFF MEMBERS. THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE ARE PROUD TO STAY THAT WE ARE PART OF SOMERSET PARKLAND ACADEMY. IT A PLACE FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND A FAMILY BUT IMAGINE YOUR CHILD WALKING THE SAME CAMPUS FROM KINDERGARTEN THROUGH MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADUATION, HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION SURROUNDED BY THE SAME CARING TEACHERS AND THE SAME STRONG BALANCE THAT SOMERSET BRINGS BUT ONCE EIGHTH GRADE ENDS THAT JOURNEY IS INTERRUPTED.

K THROUGH 12 PATHWAY WOULD MEAN LESS STRESS DURING THE ALREADY TOUGH MIDDLE TO HIGH SCHOOL TRANSITION IT.

MEANS OLDER STUDENTS MENTORING YOUNGER ONES AND SIBLINGS STAYING ON ONE COMPASS MAKING MORNINGS SIMPLER FOR EVERYONE.

THAT FEATURE IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS EXPANSION WILL DELIVER.

AND THIS IS WHY I AM HERE TO URGE TO YOU SUPPORT THE PLAN TO BUILD A HIGH SCHOOL ON ITS CURRENT CAMPUS MAKING THE CITY'S SECOND HIGH SCHOOL. TO OPEN IN 2027 STARTING WITH NINTH GRADE AND ADDING ONE GRADE AT A TIME.

BUILDING ON AN EXISTING PROVEN CAMPUS WITH STRONG AC DEMAND SIX SMARTER AND MORE EFFICIENT THAN STARTING FROM A VACANT LOT.

BUT THIS IS JUST ABOUT ADDING CLASSROOMS IT'S ABOUT GIVING OUR CHILDREN THE GIFT OF CONTINUITY. OUR KIDS DESERVE TO GROW, LEARN AND LIVE RIGHT HERE AT HOME. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> WE HAVE ANGELA MCRAE AND EVA ANDREWS AND THEN COREY PANNERO.

>> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ANGELA MCRAE AND WE ARE PROUD TO BE PART OF SOMERSET PARKLAND ACADEMY FAMILY.

LIKE MANY FAMILIES HERE WE CHOSE THIS SCHOOL AND WE DID IT BECAUSE IT OFFERS MORE THAN JUST ACADEMICS.

IT PROVIDES A SAFE, NURTURING ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR CHILDREN ARE KNOWN BY NAME, SUPPORTED AND INSPIRED TO GROW.

WE HAVE WATCHED OUR CHILDREN THRIVE NOT ONLY AS STUDENTS BUT AS INDIVIDUALS WITH CONFIDENCE, CHARACTER AND AMBITION.

AFTER MIDDLE SCHOOL OUR CHILDREN ARE NOW FORCED TO LEAVE A PLACE WHERE THEY FEEL AT HOME A SAFE PLACE WHERE THEY ALSO FEEL INSPIRED AND MOTIVATED. THEY HAVE TO TRANSITION INTO AN ENTIRELY NEW SYSTEM AN ENVIRONMENT DURING ONE OF THE MOST CRITICAL STAGES OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT.

EXPANDING OUR SCHOOL TO INCLUDE A HIGH SCHOOL WOULD PROVIDE A SEAMLESS PATH FORWARD. IT IS AN INVESTMENT IN OUR FUTURE. BECAUSE THE STUDENTS SITTING IN THOSE CLASSROOMS TODAY WILL BECOME THE LEADERS PROFESSIONALS AND CITIZENS OF TOMORROW. WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR SUPPORT FOR THESE PROPOSALS. OUR CHILDREN DESERVE A CHANCE TO CONTINUE THE JOURNEY IN THE PLACE THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN GIVEN THEM SO MUCH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THANK YOU. >> HI.

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS EVA ANDREWS.

I AM THE VIPP SCHOOL LIAISON FOR SOMERSET PARKLAND ACADEMY.

[03:20:02]

SOMERSET PROVIDES THE SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT WHERE STUDENTS ARE TRULY SEEN, CHALLENGED AND ENCOURAGED TO SUCCEED.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT REASONS FOR THAT IS THE SMALLER MORE PERSONALIZED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT NOT EVERY CHILD THRIVES IN A LARGE SCHOOL SETTING AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE CONTINUE IT TO OFFER FAMILIES OPTION THAT IS MEET DIFFERENT LEARNING NEEDS. ACADEMICALLY SOMERSET OFFERS ADVANCED OPPORTUNITIES LIKE THE CAMBRIDGE PROGRAM AND DUAL ENROLMENT ALLOWING STUDENTS TO EARN COLLEGE CREDITS EARLY.

IN ADDITION, THE SCHOOL OFFERS A WIDE RANGE OF ATHLETICS AND EXTRACURRICULARS ALONG WITH A STRONG DRAMA PROGRAM.

HELPING STUDENTS GROW INTO WELL ROUNDED INDIVIDUALS.

WHAT TRULY MAKES SOMERSET SPECIAL IS ITS SENSE OF COMMUNITY. IT FEELS LIKE A FAMILY.

STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND PARENTS ALL KNOW EACH OTHER AND SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER. EXPANDING TO INCLUDE A HIGH SCHOOL WOULD ALLOW STUDENTS TO CONTINUE IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE, CONFIDENT AND SUPPORTED MAKING AN IMPORTANT TRANSITION MUCH SMOOTHER.

CHARTER SCHOOLS ALSO PROVIDE VALUABLE EDUCATIONAL CHOICES FOR FAMILIES ESPECIALLY AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL WHERE STUDENTS PATH BEGIN TO TAKE SHAPE. SOMERSET IS DEEPLY CONNECTED TO THE PARKLAND COMMUNITY WORKING WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES AND CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR FAMILIES TO FEEL INVOLVED AND WELCOMED. I RESPECTFULLY ASK TO YOU SUPPORT THE EXPANSION OF SOMERSET PARKLAND ACADEMY TO INCLUDE A HIGH SCHOOL SO OUR STUDENTS CAN CONTINUE TO THRIVE IN THE ENVIRONMENT THAT HAS ALREADY HELPED THEM SUCCEED.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.

>> THANK YOU. >> HI.

MY NAME IS COREY PENNERRA. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.

I DIDN'T PREPARE ANYTHING. BUT I AM A NEW PARENT TO SOMERSET. I HAVE MY CHILD GOING FROM RIVER GLADE TO SOMERSET BECAUSE IT'S A SMALLER MIDDLE SCHOOL.

I DIDN'T THINK THAT HE WOULD THRIVE AT WEST GLADES SO I LOVE THAT I HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO BRING HIM TO SOMERSET AND THEN EVEN ENHANCE THE FACT THAT THEY WERE GOING TO BUILD ON TO A HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE AGAIN I DON'T WANT MY CHILD TO GO TO A VERY LARGE HIGH SCHOOL THAT HE JUST BEGINS YOU KNOW LIKE A NUMBER AND I FEEL LIKE IT'S A BETTER OPPORTUNITY FOR HIM BUT ALSO WE ALL KNOW THAT DOUGLAS IS AT CAPACITY, OVERCAPACITY.

WE ALL KNOW THAT THERE WAS TWO YEARS AGO MAYBE A YEAR AGO LIKE A WHOLE REDISTURING -- YOU RE-BOUNDARY THAT IS COMMUNITY WAS AT EACH OTHER'S THROATS REALLY.

LIKE CORAL SPRINGS AND PARKLAND, YOU KNOW, ABOUT MSD AND LIKE THEY ARE SO OVERCROWDED SO TO OFFER AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PARKLAND PARENTS TO BE ABLE TO -- AND EVEN MAYBE CORAL SPRINGS PARENTS TO BRING THEIR CHILD TO ANOTHER HIGH SCHOOL IN THE AREA IT TO ME IS A NO-BRAINER.

IT'S A NO-BRAINER. YOU KNOW, THE KIDS AT DOUGLAS NOW LIKE THEY SIT OUTSIDE, RIGHT.

AND THEY HAVE NOWHERE TO SIT AT LUNCH.

AND IT'S JUST WAY OVERCROWDED THERE.

I REALLY HOPE THAT EVERYBODY TAKES THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AND GIVES US AS PARKLAND RESIDENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING OUR CHILD TO ALSO A SCHOOL THAT HAS SCHOOL UNIFORMS BECAUSE THAT'S ANOTHER THING THAT BROWARD COUNTY SCHOOLS HAVE GONE BACK AND FORTH ABOUT AND SOME PARENTS ARE ADVOCATES FOR IT AND I WAS ONE FOR ADVOCATE FOR THE UNIFORMS. I THINK UNIFORMS ARE VERY GOOD FOR KIDS BECAUSE IT PUTS OUT LIKE THIS WHOLE OTHER THING PEER PRESSURE ABOUT EVERYTHING.

THEY CAN FOCUS ON THE SCHOOL. SO THAT'S ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO HAVE MY CHILD IN A SCHOOL THAT OFFERS -- THAT HAS SCHOOL UNIFORMS. SO THAT'S ANOTHER PLUS.

PLEASE I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD CONSIDER THIS SO WE CAN HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> HI.

I AM NARRIA FLEISCHNER SO I CANNOT REALLY TALK WITHOUT CRYING SO SHE WILL BE READING FOR ME.

>> HELLO. I WAS NOT PLANNING TO SPEAK TODAY BUT AFTER LISTENING TO SOME OF THE COMMENTS I FELT THE

[03:25:01]

AFTER YEARS OF FRUSTRATION, WE FINALLY DISCOVERED THAT HE HAS A LEARNING DISABILITY. AND UNFORTUNATELY HIS PREVIOUS SCHOOL WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A SUPPORT HE NEEDED.

WHEN YOU WATCHED YOUR CHILD STRUGGLE THROUGHOUT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND GET CLOSER TO TRANSITIONING INTO MIDDLE SCHOOL WITHOUT SUCCESS AS A PARENT YOU BEGIN TO FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE FAILED THEM. IN OCTOBER 2024 I APPLIED TO SOMERSET FOR BOTH OF MY CHILDREN.

HOPING THIS WOULD FINALLY BE THE PLACE WHERE MY SON COULD BE SAFE, BE HIMSELF AND TRULY LEARN.

HIS DISABILITY DOES NOT MAKE HIM ANY LESS INTELLIGENT.

HE SIMPLY WAS NOT GIVEN THE RIGHT TOOLS AND SUPPORT TO SUCCEED. WHEN SOMERSET CALLED AND OFFERED BOTH OF MY CHILDRE CANNOT DESCRIBE

ACADEMICLY. >> SINCE THIN SOMERSET HAS PROVIDED WHAT MY SON NEEDED A SMALLER SETTING HANDS ON LEARNING AND STRONG SENSE OF FAMILY AND COMMUNITY.

I WORRY THAT WITHOUT THIS TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT HE MAY STRUGGLE NOT ONLY KAIQUELY BUT SOCIALLY. THE POSSIBILITY OF SOMERSET HIGH SCHOOL HAS RELIEVED MY WORRIES AS A MOTHER OF A CHILD WITH DISABILITY. I HOPE WE CAN CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENTS FOR CHILDREN'S WHO SIMPLY CANNOT THRIVE IN LARGE SCHOOLS AND EVERY CHILD DESERVES A PLACE WHERE THEY FEEL SUPPORT UNDERSTOOD AND ABLE TO BE

SUCCEED. >> THANK YOU.

>> THAT'S IT. ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO SPEAK WHO DIDN'T SIGN UP? OKAY.

SO BEFORE WE MAKE A MOTION ANTHONY, I JUST WANT TO TRY TO GET SOME CLARITY FROM YOU ON OUR NEXT STEP.

IF WE VOTE ON THIS TONIGHT, AND IT PASSES, WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE

US WITH THE NEXT ITEMS? >> SURE.

SO, ITEM FOR YOU IS THE MAR-A-LAGO MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT. IT'S THE FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE, IF YOU VOTED ON AND THE COMMISSION DECIDED TO MOVE IT FORWARD YOU'RE NOT APPROVING THE MASTER PLAN TONIGHT.

IT WOULD NEED A SECOND VOTE MAY 0, SO BECAUSE THAT NEEDS TO BE

DONE THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HEARING. >> IF IT FAILS?

>> EITHER WAY IT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION NOT NECESSARILY IT'S A VOTE OF APPROVAL THAT YOU MOVE IT ALONG SO THEY CAN GET THE QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING THEY WOULD BE ENTITLED TO.

DOESN'T NECESSARILY, CAN YOU DISCUSS TIMING BUT ULTIMATELY IT'S FIRST READING OF THE ORDNANCE AND THEY HAVE A RIGHT

TO A QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING. >> IF WE PASS IT TONIGHT ON THE 20TH THIS WOULD COME BACK, IT WOULD OBVIOUSLY BE FIRST, ONCE AGAIN AND IF IT PASSES THE SECOND TIME THEN WE COULD HEAR

THE OTHER ITEMS. >> YEAH IF YOU MOVE IT FORWARD TONIGHT YOU'RE MOVING FORWARD TO SECOND READING YOU'RE NOT ADOPTING THE AMENDMENT THAT'S BEING PROPOSED TONIGHT.

>> SO IF WE TABLE IT, THAT PUSHES EVERYTHING OFF.

>> IF YOU WERE TO DEFER IT, I KNOW I GET TECHNICAL, IF YOU WERE TO DEFER IT TO A DATE CERTAIN.

LET'S SAY. >> THE 20TH.

>> YOU DEFERRED IT TO THE 20TH I THINK YOU WOULD NEED TO PUSH ALL THE OTHER ITEMS. ALL OTHER ITEMS WOULD NEED TO BE

PUSH BACK. >> OKAY.

SO, YOU KNOW. >> I'LL CHANGE MY TO A MOTION TO

DEFER TO THE 20TH. >> SO THAT WOULD BE PUSHING

EVERYTHING ELSE OFF. >> YEAH, I WANT TO GIVE THE APPLICANT THE ABILITY TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES THAT WE'VE RAISED TONIGHT, AND TRY TO WORK THROUGH THOSE ISSUES.

I DON'T KNOW THAT TWO WEEKS IN TOTAL WILL DO IT BUT IT GIVES US TWO WEEKS TO TRY TO ATTACK THOSE AS BEST AS POSSIBLE.

>> SO, I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND, FOR MYSELF, SOME OF THE ISSUES, BECAUSE I'M NOT PERFECTLY CLEAR. BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THERE'S

[03:30:03]

TAKING IT. >> I THINK THAT WAS KIND OF WHERE MY QUESTIONING WAS BUT ALL MY CONCERNS ARE WHAT VICE MAYOR BRIER'S ARE, THEY'RE BEING QUESTIONED THROUGH THE LENS OF THE OPERATIONS. MY WORRY IS THE IMPACT OF THIS NEW GROWTH PROJECT OPERATIONS TO THE CITY.

LIKE I HAVE NO CONCERNS ABOUT THE SCHOOL.

I REALLY DON'T I THINK THOSE CONCERNED WERE FLESHED OUT EIGHT YEARS AGO. I FEEL LIKE WE ARE HAVING THE SAME DEBATE. THAT'S WHY I KEEP SAYING APPLES TO ORANGES F. WE WERE TO BE HERE TALKING ABOUT WHETHER ACADEMIA HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO PULL THAT OFF THAT WAS THE DEBATE.

WE ARE WELL PAST THE DATE PROVING THEMSELVES.

WHAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IS NOT WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAD THE TRACK RECORD TO DO WHAT THEY SAID THEY WANT TO DO, BUT WHEN THEY PULL OFF WHAT THEY SAY THEY'RE GOING TO DO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THE NEXT OF THE CITY FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS?

NOT FOR THE NEXT TWO. >> SO HOW DO WE GET CLARITY FOR

YOU TO MOVE PAST THAT? >> THE CLARITY IS PAINTING THE PICTURE. INSTEAD OF, WE MAY THIS DO THIS FOR A SCHOOL YOU'RE ADDING ANOTHER THOUSAND KIDS, RIGHT? AND WE ARE SITTING HERE TALKING ABOUT WE ARE GOING TO STAGGER WE ARE GOING TO DO ALL THIS STUFF. LETS BE REALISTIC.

IT'S AN EXTRA THOUSAND KID WHETHER YOU STAGGER IT OR NOT I DON'T CARE THE STAGGERING IF ANYTHING EXPANDS OR PROPOSE FACTS THE AMOUNT OF TIME THE PICKUP AND DROP OFF WHICH IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST FLOBS THE CITY TO NARROW THE TIME OF TIME FOR PITCH ET CETERA SO MY CONCERNS I GET IT.

IT'S NOT LIKE FOR GET ONE THROUGH FIVE AND WE NEED TO INCREASE. THIS WHAT I'M TELLING YOU IS I LIVE IN THIS QUADRANT. THIS QUADRANT IS DIFFERENT THAN THE REST OF THE CITY. WHY IS THAT? THERE'S REALLY ONLY A SQUARE OF HOW CAN YOU GET AROUND.

THAT'S IT. IT'S A SQUARE.

IT'S HILLSBORO, IT'S BEEN OUFRT TO LOCKS AND THEY DON'T EVEN CONNECT SO BASICALLY THIS QUADRANT IS HERE SO ANYONE ON HILLSBORO ON AND LOCKS A HITACHI YOUR WORLD IS GOING TO CHANGE.

MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I LIVE IN THIS AREA AND PEOPLE DON'T SEE THE DAY TO DATE I'M TRYING TO ENVISION WHAT ALREADY EXISTS NOW WHICH IS A VERY WELL OPERATED SMOOTH OILED MACHINE AND TAKING THAT AND THROWING A WRENCH INTO IT AND SAYING LET'S DOUBLE IT

THAT'S MY WORRY. >> SO ARE THEY ABLE TO SATISFY THOSE WORRIES? I'M TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE ARE

GIVING ENOUGH DIRECTION. >> I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE ABLE

TO SATISFY IT, BECAUSE TO ME -- >> THAT'S FINE IF THEY CAN'T.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I'M WONDERING IF THERE'S SOMETHING WE CAN TELL THE MIKT YOU KNOW IF YOU FIX THIS PROBLEM, YOU KNOW, I'LL BE A YES, OR MAYBE YOU'LL NEVER BE YES THE IT'S FINE TOO. I JUST DON'T WANT TO DEFER IT AND MAYBE YOU GUYS HAVE ENOUGH DIRECTION, BUT I CONTINUE WANT TO DEFER IT OR TABLE IT, WITHOUT MAKING SURE THE APPLICANT UNDERSTANDS WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR TO GET TO WHERE WANT TO GO.

>> YEAH, I'M NOT SURE I'M DEFERRING THIS VS. IF THERE'S POSSIBILITY OF MOVING IT FORWARD TO SECOND READING AND GETTING INTO IT THE REAL NUTS AND BOLTS OF WHAT WE WANT TO DO WITH THIS.

AT THAT, ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDING WHAT DEFERRING IT WILL ADD TO

THIS. >> I AGREE WITH THAT.

I THINK WE GET THE SAME CONVERSATION NEXT TIME IT'S JUST A MATTER WHETHER WHETHER OR NOT WE LOSE TIME.

>> MY RATIONALE SINCE I'M THE ONE THAT MADE THE MOTION, I HAVE CONCERNS AS ARTICULATED BY COMMISSIONER ISROW AND ALL FOUR OF US MAY HAVE HAD SOME, BUT THE OTHER FOUR ALSO, AND IF THIS IS GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE OF SUCCESS, I WOULD LIKE ALL OF THOSE ISSUES ADDRESSED. IF AND I DON'T KNOW THAT TWO WEEKS IS EVEN ENOUGH, BUT IF IT'S GOING TO NOT HAVE A CHANCE

[03:35:05]

TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. I THE APPLICANT THINKS THAT THEY CAN DO THAT IN TWO WEEKS AND RISKS FAILURE IF THEY CAN'T THAT'S ONE THING BUT I WANT MY MOTION WAS DONE FOR A REASON, TO GIVE THE APPLICANT WHO HAS DEMONSTRATED, I'VE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS WHAT HAPPENED EIGHT YEARS AGO AND GIVE THE APPLICANT THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THE ADDITIONAL TIME TO TRY TO HUDDLE UP ADDRESS WITH THEIR PROFESSIONALS AND THEIR STAFF AND THEN COME BACK WHETHER IT'S IN ONE ON ONES OR COMBINATION AND DO THAT WITH US IN TWO WEEKS, BEFORE WE HAVE TO START MAKING HARD VOTES, YEA OR NAY INCLUDING ON OTHER AGENDA ITEMS WHICH MAY FALL BY THE WAYSIDE BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN

ADEQUATELY ADDRESS. >> I HAD DO AGREE WITH VICE MAYOR. I THINK TO BE FAIR AND TO ALLOW FOR THE GREATEST CHANCE OF SUCCESS, THAT'S THE ONLY WAY.

>> BUT I'M SORRY IT I'M HAVING -- I'M PERSONALLY, SO I JUST WANT TO, IF THE APPLICANT IS CLEAR, WITH WHAT WE HAVE PSAID, BUT HAVEN'T SEEN I GOT ISSUES WITH A, B, C, D.

>> WELL, WE ARE NOT ALSO THE EXPERTS.

>> WE ARE NOT THE EXPERTS. >> WE ASK MANY QUESTIONS.

>> RICH WE JUST MADE THE A, B, C, D, OVER THE LAST THREE HOURS.

MY PERSONAL VIEWPOINT IS I CAN'T BE A YES TONIGHT AND SO IF ALL THOSE ISSUES NEED TO BE ADDRESSED ADEQUATELY AND NEED TO BE AT LEAST SEE IF THEY CAN BE ADDRESSED.

>> WELL. >> I NEED A CLEAR DIRECTION.

>> MR. MAYOR COMMERCE I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS BASED THE COMMENTS MADE BY YOUR ATTORNEY, I WOULD REQUEST THAT YOU PASS THE ITEM TODAY, ALLOW US TO ADDRESS THE COMMENTS IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. IF WE ARE NOT READY IN TWO WEEKS FROM NOW AND WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ADDRESS THESE COMMENTS HOPEFULLY SATISFY THESE QUESTIONS WE WILL STAND UP HERE AND ASK FOR DEFERMENT ON THE 20TH SO I WOULD ASK YOU REEFFECT ANY TO APPROVE IT TODAY. AS YOUR ATTORNEY STATED YOU'RE NOT APPROVING IT, YOU'RE PASSING IT ON TO SECOND READING, GIVE US OPPORTUNITY TO DO IT. I DON'T WANT, I DON'T WANT TO ASK FOR A VOTE, AND ON THE APPROVAL, AND THERE BE ANY DIVISION BETWEEN THE COMMISSION. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.

I REALLY WOULD ASK THAT ALLOW US THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.

I THINK WE ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS.

I'VE ALREADY BEEN TALKING TO OUR ARCHITECT TO BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU EVERYTHING FOR THE ROOFTOP PLAY AREA SO THAT WE CAN HOPEFULLY SATISFY BECAUSE WE DO THIS AND SHOW YOU EXAMPLES WHERE WE HAVE DONE THIS ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES.

SO NOT A SAFETY CONCERN. WE DO IT BY COAST.

NOT AN ISSUE. OKAY? SO THE ONLY THING I WOULD ASK AND THIS IS WHAT I HAVE HEARD, RIGHT? MAYBE THIS IS WHAT THE MAYOR WAS TRYING TO STATE I DID HEAR A LOT OF PHILOSOPHICAL -- AND I CAN'T CAN CHANGE FILL SOFT CAMP ARGUMENTS.

RIGHT? I CAN ONLY TELL YOU THAT BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCE BASED ON WHAT DO ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS BASED ON THE FACT THAT LIFE AND SAFETY IS THE GHUNL PRIORITY WHEN ANYONE COMES TO OUR SCHOOL STUDENTS STAFF AND VISITORS THAT HOPEFULLY, AND ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN VERY RESPECTFUL AND SAID THAT, HOPEFULLY WE HAVE EARNED THAT TRUST IN THE LAST EIGHT YEARS AND HOPEFULLY, YOU TRUST AND SAY, MOVED FORWARD.

I CAN'T CHANGE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TEN YEARS FROM NOW OR 15 YEARS OR 20 YEARS FROM NOW, I DON'T KNOW.

I WILL TELL YOU I JUST STOOD UP IN FRONT OF A GROUP OF EDUCATIONAL LEADERS AND SAID I'M NOT SURE 25 YEARS OR 15 YEARS FROM NOW BRIG AND MORE TAR SCHOOLS ARE GOING TO BE DELIVERING EDUCATION. I USED TO SAY 50, 10 YEARS AGO AND I SAID 25, IT MIGHT NOT BE 25, IT MIGHT BE 15 BECAUSE OF THOUSAND EDUCATIONAL STEPS ARE MOVING AND CHANGING.

AND SO, TRUST ME THAT THIS IS WHAT WE DO.

I THINK THAT YOU HAVE A DYNAMIC PASSIONATE LEADER AND WE TAKE A

[03:40:01]

ITEMS AS THE ATTORNEY STATED. >> MY CONCERN IS WE'RE NOT ABLE TO TALK AS A BODY OUTSIDE OF THIS DAIS.

THIS IS OUR FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THIS DIALOGUE AND DISCUSSION. THERE ARE IN MY MIND ENOUGH CRITICAL ISSUES WHICH HAVE BEEN RAISED SOME OF WHICH I DIDN'T HAVE ON MY SCORECARD THIS EVENING BY OTHERS WHERE I THINK THE TWO WEEK DEFERRAL, IT'S JUST THAT THE IT'S A TWO WEEK DEFERRAL TO ALLOW US A SECOND OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK AND HAVE THE DISCUSSION. I DON'T FEEL THE COMFORT LEVEL IN MY HEART TO GO TO A VOTE ON THIS IN TWO WEEKS, GIVEN WHAT WE HAVE ADDRESSED TONIGHT. SO FOR THAT REASON I WOULD, YOU KNOW, STAY WITH THE MOTION, WHICH I THINK MY PERSONAL PURVIEW IS IN YOUR BEST INTEREST.

>> I AGREE IN PART AND DISAGREE IN PART I AGREE IN PART THAT I THINK HE IS DOING WHAT'S TO YOUR INTEREST IN TERMS OF GIVING YOU MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR TIMING BUT I ALSO HEAR FROM YOU, THE CONFIDENCE. THAT'S WHAT I LIKE.

THAT'S IS WHAT I THINK GOT YOU GUYS TO THIS POINT TO BEGIN WITH. I'M WILLING TO GIVE YOU THAT CHANCE IF YOU'RE WILLING TO SAY YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT BUT I NEED TO ALSO MAKE A COMMENT BEFORE A MAKE A MOTION WHICH IS WHILE I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ARTICULATE LINE BY LINE WORD BY WORD WHAT MY THOUGHTS ARE I CONTINUE WANT TO PUT IT IN THE REALM OF

PHILOSOPHICAL. >> NOTE ♪ WHAT I WANTED TO SAY IS THE CONCERNS ARE NOT AS CONCRETE AS EVERYBODY WOULD LIKE BECAUSE THE PLANS ARE STILL PHILOSOPHICAL.

THAT'S I THINK THE PROBLEM SO TALKING ABOUT EXTRACURRICULAR WHAT IS THIS GOING TO LOOK LIKE HOW ARE PARENTS GOING TO ENGAME WITH THE SCHOOL, ARE THEY COMING AT NIGHT, IS THERE GOING TO BE A GAME ON SUNDAY WHICH THE CHURCH DOWN THE STREET WHICH IS HAVING SIGNIFICANT GROWTH PROBLEMS, THAT SAYS UNCERTAINTY AND THE UNCERTAINTY IS BECAUSE WE ARE NOT GETTING THE CERTAINTY.

>> SIDE BAR ALREADY AND YOU'RE GOING TO GET A WHOLE DIFFERENT

PRESENTATION. >> THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO CLARIFY BUT WITH THAT I WANT TO MAKE THE MOTION.

>> I'VE MADE THE MOTION SO I NEED A SECOND.

>> YOU STOPPED IT. >> NO, MY MOTION IS TO TO HAVE

DEFER THIS ITEM. >> GOT SNOIT.

>> TO MAY 20TH BECAUSE I AGREE WITH YOU IN TERMS OF CLARITY AND CERTAINTY AND WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THERE YET AND THERE ARE ENOUGH ITEMS THROWN OUT I THINK THE TWO WEEK PUNT IS ONLY TO THEIR BENEFIT TO TRY TO ADDRESS THAT SO I'LL REINSTATE MY MOTION TO DEFER THIS ITEM, TO THE MAY 20TH MEETING WHICH WILL IN TURN PUSH THOSE OTHER ITEMS BACK TO THE FOLLOWING MEETING.

>> RIGHT, IT WOULD PUSH IN OFF. >> TWO WEEKS.

>> RIGHT WILL WELL , ESSENTIALLY A MONTH.

>> NO, WOULD BE WEEKS. TWO WEEKS.

>> SECOND READING WOULD BE. >> DELAYING HAVING BY TWO WEEKS.

>> THAT'S WHAT IT'S DOING. THAT'S WHAT MY MOTION IS.

>> OKAY. >> DO I HAVE A SECOND?

>> SO, HEARD AND I'M SORRY. I DON'T REMEMBER YOUR NAME.

>> JULIO. >> JULIO, THANK YOU.

SO, YOU SEEM AS COMMISSIONER ISROW SAID VERY CONFIDENT THAT IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE YOU'RE READY TO ADDRESS, AND I AGREE COMPLETELY, I DON'T THINK THOSE CONCERNS ARE PHILOSOPHICAL.

I THINK HIRE REAL. HENDRICKS EXISTS.

WE HAVE WEDGE PRESERVE PARK. IT'S COMING MUCH SOONER THAN, SO THERE'S BAND, MAYBE THERE IS DEBATE AND THAT'S ALL FAST PARTICULAR AND AGAIN NOT TAKING ANYTHING AWAY FROM THIS SCHOOL.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU FULLY KNOW HOW AMAZING THEY ARE BECAUSE THEY'VE LIVED IT AND I LIVE IN PARKLAND GULF DOWN THE STREET.

THAT SAID WE HAVE CONSTITUENTS WE ISLA NEED TO THINK ABOUT ACROSS THE CITY, SO IF YOU SAY HAD A YOU WILL DEFER IF YOU'RE NOT READY, I THINK I'M COMFORTABLE WITH THAT BUT I DO

[03:45:01]

SO I'M JUST GOING TO LEAVE IT AT THAT.

>> IS THAT A SECOND OR NOT? [LAUGHTER]

>> OKAY. SO DO WE HAVE ANOTHER MOTION?

>> DID THAT MOTION DIE? >> I'M BACK.

>> YES. IT DIDN'T GET A SECOND.

>> I MAKE A MOTION TO PASS THIS, OBVIOUSLY IT'S A FIRST READING SUBJECT TO THE NEXT READING. GIVE HIM WHAT HE'S ASKING FOR, WHICH IS ANOTHER SHOT TO SHARPEN HIS IRON AND THE SWORD AND I THINK AGAIN, VICE MAYOR SBRIR GIVING HIM AN OPTION AND THEY'RE TAKING THEIR CHOICE SO WHO ARE WE TO TELL THEM WHAT THEY WANT? SO I MAKE THAT MOTION AND I APPRECIATE YOUR WILL NECESSARY AND I LOVE THAT IT INSTILLS CONFIDENCE IN US YOU'RE CONFIDENT. IF YOU HAVE SAID YOU NEED A FEW MONTHS, I WOULD BE OH, SO I RESPECT THAT.

>> DO I HAVE A SECOND ON THAT? >> I'LL SECOND THAT.

>> OKAY. SO, I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE

AGENDA ITEM. >> APPROVED ON FIRST READING

MOVE TO SECOND REELING. >> RIGHT.

AGAIN, THIS IS FIRST READING SO WE STILL HAVE ANOTHER BITE AT THE APPLE IN TWO WEEKS SO I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER ISROW AND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN.

ROLL CALL.

>> PLEASE SHOW IT PASSES 4-1. >> OKAY.

JUST FOR THE RECORD, ITEMS 9, E, F, G AND H HAVE BEEN DEFERRED AT THE REQUEST OF THE APPLICANT TO THE MAY 20TH CITY COMMISSION MEETINGS SO THAT'S THE PLAT THE SITE PLAN [INDISTINCT].

>> THANK YOU GUYS. >> OKAY.

COMMENTS BY THE BROWARD SHERIFF'S OFFICE?

[11. Comments by the Coral Springs-Parkland Fire Department ]

>> NO COMMENTS. >> OKAY.

COMMENTS BY THE CORAL SPRINGS PARKLAND FIRE DEPARTMENT?

>> I KNOW EVERYONE IS TIRED SO I'M GOING TO KEEP IT SHORT BUT THIS COMMENT IS IMPORTANT. I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY WHO TOOK THE TIME TO COME OUT FOR VICE MAYOR MATIR'S CELEBRATION OF LIFE, THE SUPPORT FROM BSO FROM ALL THE LEADERSHIP IN THE CITY, AND YOU KNOW, IT JUST AGAIN DEMONSTRATES THE RELATIONSHIP IN OUR TOWN SO I APPRECIATE THAT AND I PERSONALLY WANTED TO THANK ALL OF YOU AND IT DOESN'T GO UNNOTICED AND I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR OUR RELATIONSHIPS.

NO FURTHER COMMENTS. >> THANK.

>> YOU GUYS DID AMAZING WITH THAT.

[12. Comments by the City Manager ]

>> I'M GLAD IT WAS A DIGNIFIED EVENT.

>> YES. >> THANK.

>> COMMENT BY THE CITY MANAGER. >> I KNOW WE ARE ALL VERY TIRED.

>> EXPECT FOR YOURSELF. >> THIS WEEK IS PUBLIC SERVICE RECOGNITION WEEK. SO, OBVIOUSLY WE DO A LOT OF RECOGNITION FOR OUR EMPLOYEES, AND OUR THEME THIS WEEK WAS,

YOU'RE OUT OF THIS WORLD? >> YES.

THAT'S OUR PARADE THEME. SO WE TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK ALL OUR EMPLOYEES BUT VERY SELDOM TO YOU ALL GET THANKS AND YOU ARE PUBLIC SERVICE. YOU DO ALL OF.
