GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY IF WE CAN PLEASE STAND FOR THE PLEDGE. 

[Items I - III]

IS THERE ANY ADDITIONS DELETIONS OR MODIFICATIONS? NO SIR. THANK YOU. SO ROCHELLE IS NOT HERE TONIGHT. SHE DID ASK THAT I MAKE A COMMENT ON HER BEHALF. SHE'S GRADUATING FROM LEADERSHIP PALM BEACH COUNTY TONIGHT. IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT EVENT FOR HER IT'S A ONE YEAR PROCESS WE NOW HAVE TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT ARE GRADUATES OF LEADERSHIP PALM BEACH COUNTY AND I'M REALLY PROUD OF HER AND FOR MARIA TO HAVE GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS THAT HELPS US AS A CITY HAVE YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING NOT JUST WITHIN THE BORDERS BUT ALSO THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY SO ROCHELLE IS NOT HERE TONIGHT BUT CONGRATULATE HER NEXT TIME YOU SEE HER.

[Item IV]

WANTED TO INFORM THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL ABOUT A VERY PRESTIGIOUS AWARD THAT OFFICER O'BRIEN RECENTLY RECEIVED. OFFICER FRANCINE O'BRIEN WAS NAMED THE 2018 OFFICER OF THE YEAR BY THE PALM BEACH COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF CHIEFS OF POLICE WHICH IS SHE WAS SELECTED FROM ALL THE DEPARTMENTS THROUGHOUT PALM BEACH COUNTY.

AND WE'RE EXTREMELY PROUD OF HER. TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE WORK ABOUT FRANCINE AND SOME OF THE WORK THAT SHE DOES FOR US. OFFICER FRANCINE O'BRIEN'S BEEN WITH THE PALM BEACH GARDENS POLICE DEPARTMENT SINCE 2014. SHE CONSISTENTLY DISPLAYS OUTSTANDING SERVICE AND GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND. ONE SUCH EXAMPLE IN 2018 IS HOW SHE ENCOUNTERED AN ELDERLY WOMAN WHO EXPERIENCED A TRAGIC LOSS OF A FAMILY MEMBER. THE WOMAN WAS EXTREMELY DISTRAUGHT AND OFFICER O'BRIEN MADE IT A POINT TO COME BACK AND CHECK ON THIS WOMAN ON A WEEKLY BASIS. I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO READ THAT EMAIL THAT I RECEIVED FROM HER BECAUSE IT WAS IT WAS AMAZING THE DIFFERENCE SHE MADE IN THIS WOMAN'S LIFE. ALSO BRIAN WAS APPOINTED AS A FIELD TRAINING OFFICER AND SHE HELPED MENTOR SEVERAL NEW OFFICERS IN 2018. WHILE TRAINING A NEW OFFICER SHE WAS DISPATCHED TO A CALL INVOLVING MULTIPLE VESSEL BURGLARIES. SHE DEVELOPED LEADS AND TOOK OVER THE COURSE OVER THE COURSE OF THREE DAYS. SHE CONDUCTED INTERVIEWS PROCESS EVIDENCE AND DID AN EXTENSIVE INVESTIGATION WHICH LED TO THE ARREST OF TWO SUSPECTS WHO WERE CHARGED WITH 10 DIFFERENT BOAT BURGLARIES. ON ANOTHER OCCASION OFFICER O'BRIEN LOCATED TWO SUSPECTS THAT FLED FROM THE MALL AFTER TAKING VIDEOS AND PICTURES OF YOUNG TEENS IN DRESSING ROOMS. AFTER A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION BY OFFICER O'BRIEN, A SUSPECT WAS CHARGED WITH SEVERAL COUNTS OF VIDEO VOYEURISM. SHE ALSO ASSISTED IN THE APPREHENSION OF A RESIDENTIAL BURGLARY SUSPECT AND AFTER CONDUCTING INTERVIEWS OBTAINED A CONFESSION THAT LED TO THE SUBJECT SUBSEQUENTLY BEING SENTENCED TO THREE YEARS IN PRISON FOR THAT CRIME.

SHE COMPLETED SEVERAL COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING PROJECTS IN 2018 INCLUDING ASSISTING A COMMUNITY WITH PROPER SIGNAGE AND ASSISTING A PREGNANT WOMAN IN OBTAINING A CAR SEAT. SO KIND OF DISPLAYS  HER VERSATILITY IN THE JOB THAT SHE DOES.

OFFICER O'BRIEN ALSO SERVES IN THE UNITED STATES NAVY AND SHE WAS DEPLOYED OVERSEAS FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS IN 2018. SHE WAS THE SENIOR ENLISTED LEADER FOR SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND IN AFRICA AND SERVED AS A SUPERVISOR OF ALL LOGISTICS AND TRAINING FOR ALL ENLISTED MEMBERS OF HER UNIT. SHE'S ONE OF THE LEAD INTEL ANALYSTS AND IN THE COMBINED MARITIME COMMAND AND HAS TRAINED NUMEROUS FOREIGN MILITARY POLICE OFFICERS ON VARIOUS LAW ENFORCEMENT TOPICS. WE'RE EXTREMELY PROUD OF OFFICER O'BRIEN'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND WE CONGRATULATE ON HER RECOGNITION FROM THE PALM BEACH COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF CHIEFS OF POLICE AND ALSO FROM OUR DEPARTMENT AS OFFICER OF THE YEAR FOR 2018. [APPLAUSE]

THE UNION VOTED FOR COMPLETE RATIFICATION ON MAY 24TH. THE PRIMARY ISSUES THAT WERE ADDRESSED WERE PRIMARILY CONCERNING SALARIES AND PENSION. THE NEW THREE YEAR CONTRACT IS EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1ST 2019 AND THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH OF 2022. IT PROVIDES FOR SALARY ADJUSTMENTS USING THE SAME PROCESS THAT WE HAVE USED IN PRIOR YEARS AND WITH OTHER EMPLOYEE GROUPS BY ADJUSTING SALARY RANGE MINIMUMS AND MAXIMUMS TO KEEP THE CITY'S POSITIONS AND SALARIES IN LINE WITH THE TOP THREE COMPARABLE POLICE AGENCIES IN PALM BEACH COUNTY. BASED UPON CURRENT MARKET DATA THE TOTAL COST OF THE SALARY INCREASES WHICH INCLUDES A SIX PERCENT WAGE INCREASE. EACH OF THE THREE YEARS OF THE CONTRACT IS ABOUT 2.84 MILLION. AND WITH OTHER SALARIES AND WITH OTHER ASSIGNMENT PAYS AND BENEFITS INCLUDING FICA AND PENSION IT'S CLOSE TO 2.93 MILLION DOLLARS OVER THE THREE YEARS. WITH RESPECT TO PENSION THE BENEFIT MULTIPLIER IS INCREASED FROM TWO POINT SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT TO 3 PERCENT EFFECTIVE 10/1 MOVING FORWARD AND THE NORMAL RETIREMENT AGE IS CHANGED FROM 55 TO 52 OR TWENTY YEARS REGARDLESS OF AGE AND SO UNDER CONSENT RESOLUTION 41 WILL BE THERE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

SO CHRIS IS HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT OUR CITY COUNCIL SO WORTH IN A WORD THERE WE WILL BE RECEIVING FROM THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WORKS ASSOCIATION SO I'D LIKE TO WELCOME CHRIS TO THE PODIUM. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS CHRIS EVERS ON THE PAST PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WORKS ASSOCIATION FLORIDA CHAPTER. ON OCTOBER 10TH HURRICANE MICHAEL A CATEGORY 5 STORM MADE LANDFALL JUST EAST OF PANAMA CITY WITH DEVASTATING EFFECT. AS YOU ALL KNOW. BEAT UP THE EMERALD COAST VERY BADLY. LIVING UP TO THE MOTTO THOUGH FIRST TO RESPOND LAST TO LEAVE. PUBLIC WORKS PROFESSIONALS SPRANG INTO ACTION. TWO PHONE CALLS STARTED AN EFFORT THAT MADE AN IMMEDIATE IMPACT AND GENERATED POSITIVE AND LASTING RELIEF FOR THE VICTIMS OF HURRICANE MICHAEL. A FEW DAYS AFTER LANDFALL I REACHED OUT TO BAY COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR KEITH BRYANT AND THAT SAME DAY AND KIND OF WEIRD TWIST OF FATE I GET A PHONE CALL FROM DAVID REYES AND FROM THERE IT REALLY BEGAN A TREMENDOUS EFFORT THAT INVOLVED A LOT OF YOU IN THIS ROOM. A LOT OF EMPLOYEES OF PALM BEACH GARDENS CHRIST FELLOWSHIP, APWA AND MANY OTHERS AND THAT WAS HOW OPERATION SISTER CITY WAS WAS BORN. AND MANY OF YOU KNOW THE REST. SO IT IS WITH MUCH PRIDE PERSONALLY AND FROM THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WORKS ASSOCIATION FLORIDA CHAPTER THAT I PRESENT THESE TWO AWARDS AND I'M GOING TO READ THEM TO YOU. AND  I'M JUST SO EXCITED TO DO THIS. FIRST AS ONE WASN'T ENOUGH. SO THE FIRST ONE WAS THE FLORIDA CHAPTER AWARD OF EXCELLENCE AND THIS AWARD IS GIVEN TO EITHER CITIES AGENCIES COUNTIES YOU KNOW COMPANIES WHO MADE A REALLY JUST AN OVER-THE-TOP EFFORT FOR PUBLIC WORKS AND SUPPORTING PUBLIC WORKS PROFESSIONALS. THE SECOND AWARD IS CALLED THE 2019 TECHNICAL AND MANAGEMENT INNOVATION AWARD AND OPERATION SISTER CITY WAS CONSIDERED AN INNOVATION IN THE WAY IT WAS STRUCTURED.

AND I'M REALLY EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT ONE OF THE LASTING LEGACIES IS GOING TO BE OPERATION SISTER CITY. SO PALM BEACH GARDENS AND THE WORK OF OF YOU KNOW A LOT OF YOU FOLKS HERE STARTED SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ADOPTING WITH EVERY COMMUNITY IN FLORIDA. SO CITIES COUNTIES AROUND THE STATE AND WE JUST STARTED ANOTHER HURRICANE SEASON UNFORTUNATELY BUT WE'RE GOING TO BE ADOPTING THIS TYPE OF A MODEL TO HELP THE FOLKS WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH WITH HURRICANE IMPACT. SO

[00:15:02]

[APPLAUSE] AND ONE MORE THING JUST TO RECOGNIZE ONE MORE THING THE STATE THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT HAS NOW INVITED THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WORKS ASSOCIATION TO HOLD A SEAT AT THE STATE EOC. AND SO IT'S VERY EXCITING FOR PUBLIC WORKS TO BE AT THAT TABLE TO RECOGNIZE HIS ROLE IN MAKING MUCH OF THIS HAPPEN AND JUST HIS FEROCIOUS PASSION TO HELP HIS FELLOW PUBLIC WORKS FOLKS I WANTED TO PRESENT ONE MORE THING. THIS HAS A MUCH MORE PUBLIC WORKS LOOK TO IT. AND THIS IS A STREET SIGN AND THIS IS THE 20 19 COMMUNITY SERVICES ADMINISTRATOR OF THE YEAR AWARD FOR CITY AND THAT'S GIVEN TO DAVID REYES CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS.

DAVID. [APPLAUSE] WELL THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. YOU KNOW THIS CITY DID SOME REMARKABLE THINGS LAST YEAR AND THE FACT THAT THEY WENT UP TO THE PANHANDLE MORE THAN ONCE. YOU KNOW WHEN MY WIFE AND I WENT TO THE GREEN MARKET AND WE WALKED OVER AND PUT OUR GOODS IN THE BIN AND IT WAS SO FULL OF STUFF AND IT'S YOU KNOW WE ARE SITTING UP HERE AND WE REALLY DIDN'T DO MUCH EXCEPT THANK DAVID AND HIS TEAM BUT THE ENTIRE STAFF OF THIS CITY REALLY JUST STEPPED UP AND FOR ALL OF THE QUIET PEOPLE IN THE BACK THAT REALLY DON'T GET THE ATTENTION AND THE ACCOLADES DAVID'S KIND OF QUIET AND YOU KNOW A LITTLE SHY BACK THERE. BUT BOY THE CITY STAFF REALLY STEPPED UP AND DID WONDERFUL THINGS FOR ANOTHER COMMUNITY AND THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT WE DO SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH DAVID AND THANK YOU TO THE ENTIRE STAFF FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID TO MAKE YOU AND US LOOK REALLY GOOD. BUT HE DID SOME WONDERFUL THINGS FOR SOME PEOPLE THAT REALLY NEEDED HELP AND THAT WAS  REALLY THE BOTTOM LINE. SO THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NEXT PRESENTATION ITEM D. MATT FORREST, BALLARD PARTNERS FOR THE LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY. GOOD EVENING FOR THE RECORD MATT FORREST WITH BALLARD PARTNERS. IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE WITH YOU GUYS THIS EVENING IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE BACK IN PALM BEACH COUNTY. PLEASURE TO BE BACK FROM THE FRONT. SO I'VE RETURNED FROM TALLAHASSEE. THE SESSION IS OVER. AND TONIGHT I JUST WANTED TO REALLY QUICKLY I KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT OF STUFF ON YOUR AGENDA AND I COULD BE UP FOR HOURS GIVING YOU THE PLAY BY PLAY FOR THE SESSION. NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR ANY OF THAT. SO I'LL GIVE YOU SOME HIGHLIGHTS. MOST NOTABLY THOUGH YOU DIDN'T SEE THE MEMO THAT HAS MORE DETAILS ON IT AND JUST LIKE THE MEMO IS PROBABLY NOT THE BEST FORMAT THIS FIVE OR 10 MINUTES AT THE PODIUM IS REALLY NOT THE FORMAT FOR A DEEP DIVE IN ANY OF THESE BILLS OR LEGISLATION WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS. SO FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO THE STAFF REACH OUT TO ME. I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO MEET WITH YOU I DO LIVE LOCALLY AND MORE THAN HAPPY TO TAKE SOME TIME. WE CAN DIVE INTO ANY OF THE LEGISLATION. WANTED TO GIVE A QUICK SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF WHAT HAPPENED IN 2019 BUT ALSO REALLY GETS YOU THINKING ALL READY FOR 2020. BECAUSE AS MUCH WE ALWAYS THINK OF WHAT HAPPENED THIS YEAR AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO NEXT YEAR IN TALLAHASSEE THAT'S REALLY NOT THE BEST WAY TO THINK OF IT IN TIMEFRAME. A QUICK LOOK AT THE CALENDAR TODAY AND IT KIND OF MADE ME A LITTLE TEARY EYED AT MY DESK. WE ARE 34 DAYS PAST THE END OF THE 2019 SESSION AND THE WAY THE CALENDAR FALLS IN THE WAY THE COMMITTEE WEEKS HAVE ALREADY BEEN ANNOUNCED WE ARE A HUNDRED AND ONE DAYS BEFORE THE START OF THE NEXT COMMITTEE MEETING THAT BEGINS THE NEXT 2020 SESSION. SO IT'S REALLY NOT A FULL YEAR OFF. IT'S ALSO NOT A FULL YEAR TO GET THINGS DONE. SO IS ALSO GET THE WHEELS TURNING AS WE GO INTO THE 2020 SESSION. WE DID WRAP UP WITH VERY FEW BILLS PASSING THAT YOU WOULD ACTUALLY BE SURPRISED BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF ALERTS AND E-MAILS AND AND NOTICES THAT YOU RECEIVED. THERE WAS

[00:20:03]

STATUS QUO NOTHING CHANGED. THERE WAS LEGISLATION IN THE HOUSE THAT WAS MOVING.

SENATE BILL NEVER TOOK IT UP. THAT LEGISLATION IS DEAD AGAIN FOR THIS YEAR.

THERE WAS ALSO TWO VERY VERY LARGE PREEMPTION BILLS AND I'M SURE YOU HEARD A LOT ABOUT HB THREE AND HB 1299. THESE WERE VERY BROAD PREEMPTION BILLS THAT TOOK AWAY A LOT OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT ABILITIES AND POWERS DID NOT MOVE OUT THROUGH THE SENATE. VERY FEW HAVE MADE IT OUT OF THE HOUSE SO THOSE BILLS ALL DIED. NOTICEABLY THOUGH THERE WILL BE SOME BILLS THAT DID PASS THAT WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. THERE WAS CRA LEGISLATION THAT PASSED. NOWHERE NEAR AS DRAMATIC AS IT WAS WHEN IT GOT FILED REGULATIONS ON SCOOTERS PASSED. THESE ELECTRIC SCOOTERS YOU SEE ON THE SIDEWALKS AND ON THE STREETS. GOOD NEWS DID NOT PREEMPT THE CITIES. CITIES DO HAVE FULL DISCRETION WHETHER THEY WANT TO ALLOW THESE THINGS OR NOT. TREE TRIMMING LEGISLATION ALSO DID PASS AS LONG AS YOU GET AN ARBORIST THAT SAYS THE TREE IS IN DANGER OF FALLING ON YOUR HOUSE. AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LARGE BILLS THAT WE'RE STILL WAITING TO SEE WHETHER THE GOVERNOR WILL SIGN.

NOTABLY THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT BILL 7103  AND 5G LEGISLATION SB 1000. TWO SIGNIFICANT BILLS THAT I WANT TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION OBVIOUSLY YOU PROBABLY HAVE HEARD ABOUT THESE ALREADY THEY'VE BEEN SIGNED OR NOT SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR. FIREFIGHTER CANCER COVERAGE HAS BEEN AROUND FOR SEVERAL YEARS THAT DID PASS AND HAS ALREADY BEEN SIGNED. I'M SURE YOUR H.R. STAFF AND THE REST OF YOUR CITY ADMINISTRATION STAFF ARE ALREADY DEALING WITH WHAT THAT WILL MEAN TO YOUR YOUR FUTURE BENEFITS. THE BIG ISSUE OF THE DAY IN TALLAHASSEE BELIEVE OR NOT PLASTIC STRAW PREEMPTIONS. SEVERAL PIECES OF LEGISLATION EITHER BANNING OF LOCAL PREEMPTING STRAWS OR ALLOWING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO PREEMPT THEM. WAS A HEAVILY DEBATED ISSUE IN THE END IT PASSED THE LEGISLATURE BUT IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE VERY FIRST IF NOT THE FIRST BILL THE GOVERNOR VETOED. AND I THINK IT'S OF NOTE FOR THE CITIES TO REALIZE EXACTLY WHY HE VETOED IT. AND IT'S REALLY CLEAR AS DAY IN HIS VETO LETTER HE SAID A NUMBER OF FLORIDA MUNICIPALITIES HAVE ALREADY PREEMPTED STRAWS. AND I THINK THERE'S A COUPLE OF KEY LINES THAT I WANTED TO READ TO YOU THAT HOPEFULLY HOPEFULLY GIVES YOU GUYS SOME SOME HOPE WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT ALL THE LEGISLATION SOMETIMES AND THE BATTLE OF PREEMPTION AND THE VALUE FOR HOME RULE AT THE STATE LEVEL. THE GOVERNOR SAID THESE MEASURES HAVE NOT SO FAR AS I CAN TELL FRUSTRATED ANY STATE POLICY OR HARMED THE STATE'S INTERESTS. HE WENT ON TO SAY UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES THE STATE SHOULD SIMPLY ALLOW LOCAL COMMUNITIES TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE THROUGH THE POLITICAL PROCESS. CITIZENS WHO OPPOSE PLASTIC STRAW ORDINANCES CAN SEEK RECOURSE BY ELECTING PEOPLE WHO SHARE THEIR VIEWS WHICH IS REALLY THE CORE OF WHAT WE USUALLY ARGUE FOR WHEN IT COMES TO HOME RULE THAT IF THERE'S AN ISSUE IT'S BEST DECIDED BY THE CITY COUNCILS THAT ARE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE PEOPLE AND GUESS WHAT IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND A WEEK LATER IT'S MUCH EASIER FOR YOU FIVE TO CHANGE YOUR MIND A WEEK LATER AND PUT THE STRAWS BACK IN PLACE. SO HOPEFULLY THAT'S A SIGN OF THINGS TO COME WITH THE GOVERNOR AND WHERE HE'LL WEIGH IN ON ANY KIND OF LOCAL PREEMPTIONS THAT   GET TO HIS DESK. THAT WRAPS UP THE 2019 SESSION. LIKE I SAID THE NEXT SESSION IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER WILL BEGIN IN SEPTEMBER WITH THE FIRST COMMITTEE WEEK. THEN THERE'S BACK TO BACK MANY WEEKS IN OCTOBER BACK TO BACK IN NOVEMBER. LITTLE WANT TO KNOW DECEMBER THE OFFICIAL SESSION

[00:25:02]

VEGETABLE GARDENS DID PASS. I KNOW WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THAT. I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT IT IN TALLAHASSEE. SO THERE IS LEGISLATION THAT NOW AND AGAIN THIS WOULD BE ONE OF THOSE LOOK AT THE LETTER OF THE LAW TO SEE WHAT IT NOW SAYS. IT DOESN'T SAY THAT ALL OF  YOUR CITY ORDINANCES AND ANY OF YOUR LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS ARE NOW VOID. IT SIMPLY SAYS YOU ALSO CAN GROW LETTUCE IN YOUR FRONT YARD IF YOU SO DESIRE.

QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. RON DO YOU WANT A PLASTIC STRAW. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO MATT. WE'RE NOT THE EASIEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TO WORK WITH BECAUSE WE'RE ALWAYS ON HIS CASE ABOUT PUSHING HIM FOR THIS AND PUSHING FOR THAT. BUT AT THE SAME TIME HE BRINGS US AN AWFUL LOT OF INFORMATION AND KEEPS US HEADS UP ON THINGS THAT WE DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT. AND AND MATT AND HIS CONTACTS AND INFLUENCES IN TALLAHASSEE IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE ADVANTAGE FOR THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS BECAUSE WE'RE ALWAYS IN HIS FACE AND I APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE WITH US BUT WE'RE VERY SERIOUS AND ABOUT WHAT WE DO AND AND WE'RE KIND OF PASSIONATE ABOUT PREEMPTION AND THIS HAS BEEN A DIFFICULT YEAR ON THE PREEMPTION SIDE OF THINGS AND SO YOU'VE BEEN PATIENT WITH US AND EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND BENEFICIAL AND WE HOPE THE GOVERNOR SIGNS THAT THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR APPROPRIATION. AND YOU DID THAT FOR US. I APPRECIATE THAT. MY PLEASURE. THANKS MATT. I'VE KNOWN YOU FOR A LONG LONG TIME WHEN YOU HAD MORE HAIR TOO. BUT, YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL AND VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR FOR YOUR WORK WITH THE CITY AND OF THE OTHER MUNICIPALITIES TOO. THANKS. THANKS. ALL RIGHT. ITEM E UPDATE ON SMALL CELL AND MICRO ANTENNAS EWITHIN THE CITIES RIGHT AWAY. TODD ENGLE.

GOOD EVENING COUNCIL TODD ENGLE CITY ENGINEER FOR THE RECORD I'M HERE TO UPDATE YOU ON AN OLD PIECE OF LEGISLATION FROM 2017 HOUSE BILL 687 THAT WAS PASSED WHICH ALLOWED A SMALL CELL AND MICRO CELLS WITHIN STATE COUNTY AND OTHER RIGHTS A WAY INCLUDING LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES. THIS IS FOR THE RACE FOR 5G AND WHAT IT DOES IS IT HAS A LOT OF SMALLER TOWERS INSTEAD OF A LARGER TOWERS THROUGHOUT THROUGHOUT THE AREA. SO WE ADOPTED ORDINANCE 20-2017 TO LIMIT WHAT WE COULD FROM THE HOUSE BILL AND WHAT WE DID IS WE DEFINED THE SMALL CELLULAR AND MICRO CELL DEVICES. WE LIMITED THE HEIGHT SO THE HEIGHT IS LIMITED TO 50 FEET. HOWEVER IF THERE IS AN EXISTING UTILITY POLE WITHIN 500 FEET THAT HEIGHT IS LIMITED TO THE HEIGHT OF THE UTILITY POLE. WE ALSO TRY TO PROMOTE CO-LOCATION BUT WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE ACTUAL ANTENNAS AND THE WIND LOADING BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO MEET HURRICANE STANDARDS. SO WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO THE CO-LOCATION SO THEY HAVE BEEN INDEPENDENTLY MOUNTED. TO DATE WE HAVE NOT HAD ONE INSTALLED IN THE CITY. HOWEVER WE RECEIVED 12 APPLICATIONS AND ACTUALLY RECEIVED ANOTHER ONE TODAY.

WE HAVE 13 APPLICATIONS ON THE BOOKS. THIS MAP REPRESENTS WHERE THEY FALL WITHIN THE CITY THE YELLOW IS AT&T. THE BLUE IS VERIZON AND THE RED IS HOTWIRE. WE HAVE RELEASED TWO PERMITS TO DATE. AT&T HAS NOT HAD ANY RELEASED THEY HAVE A LOT TO GO BUT THEY OWE US SOME MONEY ON A TOWER LEASE. SO WE ARE HOLDING THAT UNTIL WE RECEIVE THOSE FUNDS. IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP IT APPEARS THAT EVERYTHING'S AROUND THE CORE PART OF OUR CITY WHERE OUR TOWERS ARE NEEDED THESE SMALL CELL TOWERS AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS THEY WILL BE IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL AREAS. SO WE DO REQUIRE A DEPICTION OF WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE IN THE PERMITS SUBMITTAL. SO WHAT YOU HAVE

[00:30:04]

THIS IS ANOTHER ONE LOCATED ON BUTTERCUP DRIVE IN THE CORE PART OF OUR COMMUNITY.

WE DO TRY TO LIMIT THIS AND PUT THEM IN BETWEEN HOMES OR WITHIN EASEMENTS OR OTHER RIGHTS OF WAY THAT WE CAN FIND AND WE'RE ALLOWED TO DO THAT TO THE EXTENT WE CAN.

BUT WE REALLY CANNOT LIMIT WHERE THEY PUT THESE TOWERS JUST WE TRY TO LIMIT THE DAMAGE FROM WHERE THEY'RE GOING SOME OF THE THINGS WE DO FIND ALONG THE WAY. THE TOWERS ARE JUST NOT THE TOWERS THAT DO REQUIRE INFRASTRUCTURE SO THEY HAVE TO PUT INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE GROUND AND RUN TO THE LARGER TOWERS OR TO UTILITY BOXES.

MARKERS ARE REQUIRED SO THEY DID INSTALL SOME ABOVE GROUND MARKERS I'M SURE YOU GUYS GOT SOME COMPLAINTS ON THIS PARTICULAR ONE. WE HAD THIS ONE REMOVED AND NOW IT IS ATTACHED TO THE BOX. SO WE REQUIRE THAT ALL MARKERS BE AT GRADE INSTEAD OF ABOVE GRADE MARKERS AND THEN WE ALSO CHANGE OUR RIGHT A WAY PERMIT TO LIMIT CERTAIN THINGS THEY CAN DO ANYTHING THAT WE FIND THAT'S THAT'S OUT OF THE ORDINARY CREATES A PROBLEM THAT WE CAN LIMIT IT WE INSTALL IT IN THE GENERAL CONDITIONS OF A PERMIT AND WE ALSO HAVE THE ABILITY THAT IF WE DO AN IMPROVEMENT WITHIN THAT AREA. THEY HAVE TO RELOCATE THAT TOWER AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE.

SO THERE IS A CAVEAT THAT IF WE WERE DOING SOMETHING IN A PARTICULAR AREA THEY HAVE TO RELOCATE AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE WITH THAT IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

I DON'T ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE. AND I GUESS AS WE GO FORWARD IF THERE IS ANY OTHER UPDATES TO BE HAD ON WHERE THESE APPLICATIONS ARE COMING WE'LL KNOW ABOUT THEM OR YOU'LL KNOW ABOUT THEM BEFORE WE DO. BUT THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. SO COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC. I DID HAVE THREE CARDS BUT EACH OF THEM WERE IN RELATION TO ORDINANCES. ORDINANCE SIX AND ORDINANCE TEN SO WE'LL READ THOSE OR WE'LL OFFER TIME FOR THE MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC TO READ THEM AT THAT TIME. IN THE MEANTIME. NEXT UP IS CONSENT AGENDA. CAN I HAVE A MOTION.

[00:35:02]

SO DOES ANYONE WANT A PRESENTATION. MR. MAYOR. IF I MAY. THE SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE 5 HAS NO CHANGES SINCE FIRST READING WHICH WAS THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS TEXT AMENDMENT. STAFF WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A VERY BRIEF PRESENTATION ALTHOUGH THERE HAVE NOT BEEN CHANGES AS WELL ON ORDINANCE 6 DUE TO SOME RECENT CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED. OK WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO THAT NOW. WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IT AS PART OF ORDINANCE 6. SO REGARDING ORDINANCE 5 IF WE HAVE NO OTHER PRESENTATION AND NO PUBLIC COMMENT CARDS WE'RE GONNA CLOSE THE HEARING. CAN WE GET A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE. SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION AMONGST THE COUNCIL ON ORDINANCE 5? YEAH I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT I GUESS I START BY SAYING THAT I'M A COSTCO MEMBER AND I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE EXPANSION THE BUILDING.

I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO THE EXPANSION OF THE CURRENT FACILITY AND QUITE FRANKLY I LOOK FORWARD TO SHOPPING THERE. SINCE THE VOTE WAS TAKEN. I HAVE RECEIVED A LOT OF  INPUT AND I GUESS THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TWO READINGS IT GIVES US A CHANCE TO THINK ABOUT AND RECEIVE ADDITIONAL INPUT ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING. AND I'VE GOT SOME SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE PROPOSED GAS STATION WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 24 FUELING STATIONS WHICH SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF FUELING STATIONS EVEN. MATTHEW THIS IS ORDINANCE 5. WE'RE JUST THIS IS JUST THE TEXT WE'RE NOT ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT THE ZONING OF THE COSTCO PROPERTY YET. WELL THEN I GUESS AS THEY SAY NEVER MIND. OK.

SO LET'S SO LET'S IF WE MAY LET'S FINISH ORDINANCE FIVE AND THEN WHEN WE MOVE ON TO ORDINANCE SIX WE CAN ADDRESS YOUR QUESTION. SORRY WENT RUNNING OUT TO THE BATHROOM OK. SO IS THERE ANY OTHER FURTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT ORDINANCE 5 HEARING NONE LET'S GO FOR A VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. ANY OPPOSED. NONE. SEEING NO OPPOSITION 4-0 MOTION PASSES. NOW LET'S MOVE ONTO ORDINANCE 6. CAN I HAVE THE, READ THE 

[Item IX B]

[00:40:03]

THERE WILL BE A NET REDUCTION IN THE OVERALL TRAFFIC TRIPS DAILY TRIPS ALMOST 500. THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE MORNING TRIPS OF ABOUT 34 AND A DECREASE IN THE PM TRIPS. THIS REDUCTION IN THE TOTAL NUMBER OF TRIPS SEEMS A LITTLE COUNTERINTUITIVE BUT AS IT'S BASED ON THE NUMBERS OF THE OVERALL REDUCTION IN THESE RETAIL SQUARE FOOTAGE ON THE SITE CURRENTLY THERE IS A FORTY THREE THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT RETAIL SPACE THAT SOMEONE COULD COME IN AND FULLY OCCUPY AND THOSE TRIPS WOULD BE GENERATED ON THAT SITE AS IT IS TODAY. THAT BUILDING IS GOING TO BE REMOVED AND THE COSCO SITE WILL BE EXPANDING ABOUT 20,000 SQUARE FEET. SO THAT LEAVES A REDUCTION OVERALL REDUCTION OF ABOUT TWENTY THREE THOUSAND SQUARE FEET.

SO THOSE TRIPS ARE BEING BASICALLY CREDITED AND PULLED OUT OF THE OVERALL NUMBER OF TRIPS THAT ARE GOING TO BE GENERATED BY THE SITE. THE SITE DID RECEIVE PALM BEACH COUNTY TPS OR TRAFFIC PERFORMANCE STANDARDS APPROVAL WITH THAT APPROVAL THEY WERE REQUIRED TO MAKE CERTAIN TRAFFIC ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS AND INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS. THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE INTERSECTION PRIMARILY DEALING WITH THE CHANGING OF THE SIGNAL TIMING AND THE THE LANE CONFIGURATION WILL ACTUALLY ALLOW THE INTERSECTION TO MOVE FROM A LEVEL OF SERVICE F TO A LEVEL OF

[00:45:02]

[00:50:01]

IF THERE IS DISCUSSION TONIGHT WHERE SOMEONE IS OBJECTING I WOULD RESPECTFULLY RESERVE THE RIGHT TO RESPOND AND WE WOULD URGE YOUR APPROVAL OF THIS PETITION WHICH WE BELIEVE IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR RESIDENTS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MARTIN.

THANK YOU. SO I DO HAVE TWO CARDS OF MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. THE FIRST IS JIM DONNINI. NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND IF YOU'VE BEEN SWORN IN. MY NAME IS JIM  DONNINI AND I RESIDE AT 11520 STONEHAVEN WAY IN PALM BEACH GARDENS. YOU'VE BEEN SWORN IN. I'M SORRY? YOU'VE BEEN SWORN IN. YES I HAVE. YES THANK YOU. FIRST OFF  MAYOR AND STAFF APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY. THIS IS AN 11TH HOUR SORT OF DIG HERE THAT I'M NOT REALLY PROUD OF OR A LITTLE EMBARRASSED BECAUSE I WASN'T AWARE. I WAS AWARE OF THIS PROJECT WHEN IT FIRST STARTED. AND TO QUICKLY SUMMARIZE BECAUSE I RESPECT [INAUDIBLE] AND I SEE YOU HAVE A BIG AGENDA HERE TONIGHT.

WHEN I FIRST ACTUALLY WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT IT IT WAS. I WAS ACTUALLY ON NORTHLAKE BOULEVARD DRIVING WHEN I FIRST HEARD THERE WAS GOING TO BE THE THOUGHTS OF PUTTING A 24 FUELING SPOTS IN A LOCATION LIKE WHERE THEY WERE WHERE THE PROJECT IS. I FELT NO ONE A LITTLE BIT BEING 40 YEARS EXPERIENCED IN THE SERVICE STATION BUSINESS AND HAVING SEVERAL SITES IN THIS IN THIS COMMUNITY I THOUGHT KNOWING THAT I'D BEEN DECLINED FOR ADDING TRYING TO ADD FOUR FUELING SPOTS BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC ISSUES. I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS A NO BRAINER AND IT THINK MUCH OF IT. BUT HERE WE ARE TODAY WITH IT BEING APPROVED. I'M NOT ACTUALLY, I'M A COSTCO MEMBER. SO I'M GLAD TO SEE FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE FACILITY. I KNOW THERE'S TRAFFIC IT'S NOT TRAFFIC ISSUES SO MUCH BUT WELL THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN TRAFFIC ISSUES ON NORTHLAKE BUT INTERNALLY IN THE SITE OBVIOUSLY THERE'S PARKING ISSUES AND CHALLENGES BUT THAT GOES WITH DOING A LOT OF BUSINESS SO YOU KNOW THAT'S THAT'S PROGRESS AND I'M NOT GOING TO DENY THAT AND I'M NOT HERE FOR A HARDSHIP BECAUSE WE HAVE SEVERAL STATIONS IN THE AREA. OBVIOUSLY I WOULD NOT LIKE TO SEE IT HAPPEN YOU KNOW BECAUSE IT PROBABLY ECONOMICALLY IS GOING TO HURT US. BUT I'M MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE TYPE OF FACILITY AND WHY IT IS SO LARGE. AGAIN WITH MY EXPERIENCE HAVING 24 FUELING SITES OR 12 MPDS THAT SEEMS LIKE A LITTLE BIT OVERKILL FOR A CLUB SITE. IT'S NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS I UNDERSTAND BUT IT IS CREATING MORE TRIPS NOW JUST SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF THE INFORMATION TONIGHT I CAN SEE WHERE SOME OF THE TRAFFIC CREDIT COMES BACK BY REMOVING A BUILDING WHICH I WASN'T AWARE OF. AND BUT AT THE SAME TIME I THINK WE'RE BEING MISLED BY THAT THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT USE THIS ARE THE CLUB MEMBERS THAT ARE ON SITE. THAT'S NOT TRUE AT ALL. BEING A CLUB MEMBER WE GO TO THE CLUB FOR OUR NECESSITIES OR WHAT WHATEVER WE WANT TO BUY AND MOSTLY IT'S BULK BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY SOLICIT THERE. BUT WE GO FOR GAS MAYBE THREE OR FOUR TIMES MAYBE TWICE. WELL LET'S SAY SIX EIGHT TIMES A MONTH WITHOUT EVEN GOING

[00:55:03]

SIR, YOU'VE HAD YOUR THREE MINUTES I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AGAIN. I THINK YOUR POINT IS WELL MADE. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. KEVIN DALTON.  THANKS JIM I'M ALREADY DOWN TO TWO MINUTES. KEVIN DALTON. 226 [INAUDIBLE] JUPITER FLORIDA I WAS SWORN IN BY THE WAY. MR. MAYOR THANK YOU. SURE. I'M VERY EMBARRASSED THAT I'M HERE THE NIGHT A FINAL APPROVAL. HOWEVER THIS IS MY RIGHT AS A PER CITY ORDINANCE. AND I DO AGREE WITH MR. MATHESON THAT THE WHOLE SITE IS INEVITABLE IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND I'M NOT HERE FOR ANYTHING THAT HE TALKED ABOUT SO I DON'T SEE ANY REASON FOR HIM TO COME BACK UP. BUT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS  CREATE A BETTER TRAFFIC PATTERN FROM NORTHLAKE  AND MILITARY ALL THE WAY TO COSTCO.

THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN THE PROBLEM DOESN'T  HAPPEN TO BE JUST THE COSTCO ENTRANCE AND TURN LANE AND. I'M JUST CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT WE'RE APPROVING I OWN THREE GAS STATIONS ON NORTHLAKE BOULEVARD FOR FULL DISCLOSURE AND. I'VE GOT A TOTAL OF 12 PUMPS, 24 FUEL POSITIONS AND WE'RE GIVING COSTCO AT THE ONE LOCATION 24 FUELING POSITIONS AND BASICALLY WE'RE PUTTING A TRUCK STOP ON NORTHLAKE AND WE DON'T NEED THAT. THIS IS JUST COUNTERPRODUCTIVE. ALSO A VARIANCE FOR THE COSTCO PRICE SIGN LARGER THAN ANY GAS WITHIN CITY LIMITS IS ALSO COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY AND SHOULD BE RECONSIDERED. A 1 PERCENT DECREASE IN TRAFFIC IS ABOUT 500 CARS A DAY AS MR. FITTS SAID THIS IS WHAT I HEAR. BUT I JUST SIMPLY BELIEVE IT'S A FALSE NUMBER AND ULTIMATELY IT'S A FALSE NUMBER WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT THE CITY AFTER COMPLETION ESPECIALLY WHEN WIDENING BEGINS IN THREE YEARS OR SO FOR THAT SECTION ALL THE WAY TO NORTHLAKE AND MILITARY FOR THE FDOT PROJECT FOR THE NINETY FIVE ON AND OFF RAMPS. I'M NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE OUTGOING TRAFFIC OR INCOMING TRAFFIC INTO THE PROPERTY. IT'S SIMPLY ABOUT THE TRAFFIC ON NORTHLAKE AS A WHOLE. SO AGAIN THAT'S TO PUT MR. MATHESON'S REASONING AT REST. ALSO HOW IN THE WORLD DOES A CITY LIKE PALM BEACH GARDENS NOT ALLOW A FUTURE [INAUDIBLE] OR TARGET BUT ALLOWS A HUGE EXPANSION OF COSTCO AND ALLOW ADDITIONALLY FOR A TRUCKSTOP SIZED GAS STATION ON AN ALREADY OVERPOPULATED ROAD. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT AND I'M ASKING FOR THE CITY FOR YOUR FOR YOUR HELP THIS EVENING AND TO CONSIDER POSTPONING YOUR FINAL VOTE FOR THE COSTCO PROJECT OR JUST THE GAS STATION PORTION.

LET CITY STAFF GO BACK AND GET WITH MR. MATHESON AND SEE IF WE CAN GET THOSE PUMPS REDUCED FROM 24 FUELING POSITIONS DOWN TO 12 OR 16 FUELING POSITIONS. AGAIN I'VE GOT SEVEN SECONDS. I'VE GOT 12 TOTAL FUELING 12 PUMPS TOTAL AT MY THREE GAS STATIONS SPREAD OUT ON NORTHLAKE AND THEY'RE ASKING FOR 12, 24 FUELING POSITIONS IN ONE LOCATION ON NORTHLAKE BOULEVARD AND THAT'S UNCALLED FOR. THANK YOU KEVIN. YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE. ANYONE.  WE'LL HAVE OUR DISCUSSION IN A MOMENT WHEN WE'RE ALL DONE. I DO HAVE ONE OTHER CARD I WILL ALLOW HENRY STARK. PLEASE MAKE IT QUICK. SINCE YOU DID PUT IT IN A LITTLE BIT LATE BUT WE WILL ACKNOWLEDGE ONE LAST CARD. I APOLOGIZE. GOOD EVENING. NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. HENRY STARK 5810 [INAUDIBLE] PALM BEACH GARDENS. AND YOU HAVE NOT BEEN SWORN IN. NO, I HAVE NOT.

HAPPY TO BE SWORN IN. PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND REPEAT AFTER ME. DO YOU SOLEMNLY SWEAR TO TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH. I'M SORRY, DO YOY SOLEMNLY SWEAR TO TELL THE

[01:00:04]

THERE'S NO ONE THERE. SO LET'S BRING IT BACK FOR DISCUSSION. WHO WANTS. MATTHEW YOU WERE STARTING YOUR CONVERSATION OF THE  DISCUSSION WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD. YEAH I STARTED MY CONVERSATION BY SAYING I WANT TO BEGIN BY SAYING THAT I'M A COSTCO MEMBER I THINK THAT I HAVE TO AMEND THAT NOW I DON'T WANT TO BEGIN BY SAYING THAT I USED TO BE A COSTCO MEMBER, I STILL AM. I'VE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS WITH FIRST WITH THEIR EXCELLENT ATTORNEY STEVE MATHESON. YOU COULD NOT HAVE HAD A BETTER ATTORNEY. YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT HE WE SPOKE IN DEPTH. I ALSO SPOKE TO KEVIN AND JIM AND THEY LAID OUT THEIR THOUGHTS TO ME AND I'D LIKE TO KIND OF DISCUSS THESE A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE THEY RESONATED WITH ME. THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT CONCERN ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE PROPOSED GAS STATION 24 FUELING STATIONS IS A LOT OF FUELING STATIONS EVEN [INAUDIBLE] AND RACE TRAC DON'T HAVE THAT MANY FUELING STATIONS. AND THIS PROPOSAL ALLOWS THE INSTALLATION OF A GAS STATION THAT'S THE SIZE LITERALLY THE SIZE OF A TRUCK STOP RIGHT ON NORTHLAKE BOULEVARD AND I DON'T THINK WE REALLY WANT TO TURN NORTHLAKE BOULEVARD INTO OKEECHOBEE BOULEVARD OR THE CONNECTOR ROAD IN FORT PIERCE.

TRAFFIC IS A HUGE CONCERN FOR ME ESPECIALLY TRAFFIC ON NORTHLAKE BOULEVARD AND I BELIEVE THAT A HUGE STATION LIKE THIS ONE WILL GENERATE A LARGE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC ON A STREET THAT'S ALREADY OVERCROWDED. NOW I'VE REVIEWED THE TRAFFIC STUDIES AND THEY ARE AS WE SAID THEY ARE COUNTER INTUITIVE AND I HAVE QUITE A FEW CONCERNS. HAVING REVIEWED THEM ABOUT THEIR VALIDITY THAT WITH 24 FUELING STATIONS TRAFFIC IS ACTUALLY GOING TO GO DOWN ON A ROAD THAT'S ALREADY OVERTAXED. MORE IMPORTANTLY IN THESE DISCUSSIONS THE EXPERTS WHO REALLY DIDN'T HAVE AS MUCH TIME AS I HAVE TO DISCUSS THIS EXPERTS IN THE INDUSTRY HAVE INDICATED TO ME THAT BASED UPON THEIR ANALYSIS THEY FEEL THAT THE TRAFFIC STUDY IS FLAWED AND THAT  THEIR EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN THE INDUSTRY INDICATES THAT A STATION OF THIS MAGNITUDE

[01:05:06]

[01:10:05]

YES SIR. WE FEEL IT'S NECESSARY AND WE HAVE A LEASE THAT'S PENDING WHICH FRANKLY THE LANDLORD HAS BEEN QUITE PATIENT THROUGH THIS LONG PROCESS. RIGHT. WELL I'VE BEEN. I'VE SAID IT A FEW TIMES. I'VE BEEN A COP HERE MY WHOLE LIFE AND I KNOW WHEN I WAS A COP HERE ALL I DID WAS TRAFFIC. THERE WAS PROBABLY 40000 TRIPS A DAY ON NORTHLAKE BOULEVARD AND 40 TO 50. NATALIE YOU'RE PROBABLY NO BETTER THAN I DO. THERE'S SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND TRIPS A DAY ON NORTHLAKE BOULEVARD. DOES ANYBODY KNOW THAT. I DON'T SEE HOW THAT CAN. I DON'T SEE HOW WITH THAT MANY PEOPLE ON NORTHLAKE BOULEVARD WHEN ESPECIALLY DALTON STATIONS MR. DALTON STATIONS ARE WESTBOUND AT 95. YOU ARE STRATEGICALLY LOCATED TO ABSORB THE TRAFFIC THAT'S GETTING OFF OF 95. PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GET FUEL DON'T WANT TO GO TO MACARTHUR TO GET IT. IF YOU'RE NOT GOING THAT WAY. I'M A COSTCO MEMBER AND I'M NOT GOING TO GET FUEL THERE IF I NEED FUEL. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT. THANK YOU. MARIA. I THINK THE PROCESS HAS BEEN DONE THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO THE NOTIFICATION HAS BEEN DONE THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO. STAFF HAS DONE THEIR JOB THE PETITIONER HAS DONE THEIR JOB. I BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS PLENTY OF TIME FOR PEOPLE TO COME FORWARD BEFORE THIS COSTCO HAS GIVEN US FAIR WARNING FOR QUITE A LONG TIME. SO I AM IN FAVOR OF TAKING A VOTE THIS EVENING. THANK YOU. MY ONLY COMMENTS AND I WISH WE HAD SPOKEN EARLIER BUT THE REALITY IS IN MY OPINION WHEN THIS FIRST CAME TO EACH OF US INDIVIDUALLY WITH THE CITY MANAGER IN OUR PRIVATE MEETINGS YOU KNOW I VOICED A LOT OF CONCERNS AND TO NATALIE AS WELL AND THROUGH THE HARD WORK OF STAFF WHICH THEY ALWAYS DO ALONG WITH THE APPLICANT THEY MADE A LOT OF ADJUSTMENTS TO THE PLAN TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS. THE ONE CONCERN THAT I STILL HAD WAS ASKING ABOUT TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO PUT SIGNAGE WITHIN THE PARKING LOT TO DIRECT EASTBOUND TRAFFIC TO THE FURTHEST EAST BOUND EXITS. AND I TALKED WITH [INAUDIBLE] ABOUT THAT AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO COME UP A LITTLE BIT LATER. YOU KNOW COMPETITION IS WHAT THE AMERICA IS ALL ABOUT. I MEAN I HAVE A SMALL TWO SMALL BUSINESSES NOW AND I COMPETE WITH COSTCO FOR SOME OF THE SERVICES THAT I PROVIDE. I JUST THINK I DO IT BETTER THAN  YOU DO SORRY. THAT'S THAT'S ME PERSONALLY SO YOU KNOW. THERE YOU GO. THANK YOU.  RIGHT. SO YOU KNOW AMERICA IS BUILT ON COMPETITION. YOU GET BETTER AT WHAT YOU DO. THE FACT THAT THE GAS STATION WILL BE THERE I DON'T THINK YOUR BUSINESS I THINK YOUR BUSINESS ACTUALLY BENEFITS BECAUSE YOU OFFER SERVICES THAT THEY WON'T TO PEOPLE THAT DON'T GO TO COSTCO FOR GAS. SO I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN THE FEAR. OH BOY. BUT YOU KNOW IT'S NOT OUR JOB TO DECIDE WHO ARE WINNERS AND LOSERS AND GOVERNMENT WHEN IT COMES TO PRIVATE BUSINESS. BUT YOU RUN A WONDERFUL BUSINESS BOTH OF YOU DO AND YOU'RE ALWAYS BUSY SO I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT IN TERMS OF TRAFFIC YOU KNOW I THINK WE'VE ADDRESSED THE ISSUES A LOT. SO I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS ARE HERE. YOU KNOW YOU'VE GOT MY NUMBER TO I FELT LEFT OUT I WAS ONLY ONE THAT YOU DIDN'T CALL BUT THAT'S OK. AT LEAST I DIDN'T HAVE A EX  PARTE TODAY. BUT WITH THAT I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS UNLESS ANYONE ELSE HAS ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. SO HEARING NO OTHER DISCUSSION. LET'S HAVE A VOTE. WELL YOU JUST TO CLEAN THE RECORD YOU HAD YOU HAD A SUBSTITUTE MOTION THAT WAS MADE BUT IT DID NOT RECEIVE A SECOND. SO YOU'RE BACK TO YOUR PRIMARY MOTION AND IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO HAVE A VOTE. THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING. SO A MOTION WE ALREADY HAD A MOTION AND SECOND TO APPROVE. MAY I HAVE A VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. ANY OPPOSED. NAY. 3 TO 1.

MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU. AND RESOLUTION 20 IT'S ALREADY BEEN READ THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION ON RESOLUTION 20? NO, SO CAN I GET A. SO WE'RE GOING OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. THERE'S NO OTHER PRESENTATIONS THERE'S NO CARDS ON RESOLUTION 20 DIRECTLY. SO I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE HEARING CAN I GET A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE  RESOLUTION 20. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 20, 2019. I

[01:15:01]

AYE. ANY OPPOSED. NAY. THANK YOU MOTION CARRIES THREE TO ONE. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR COMING TONIGHT. WE THANK YOU. THANK YOU. LET'S MOVE ON TO ORDINANCE

[Item IX C]

CAN I GET A MOTION AND A SECOND. I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE RESOLUTION 21, 2019 SECOND. ANY JUST FURTHER DISCUSSION NO BRINGING BACK FOR A VOTE ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. MOTION CARRIES 4-0.

THANK YOU. ORDINANCE 8, 2019 ON FIRST READING. CAN I HAVE THE CLERK READ

[Item IX D]

[01:20:06]

SO I WANTED TO REMAIN NEUTRAL AND NOT TALK TO ANYBODY REGARDING THIS PROJECT EVER.

THANK YOU. I DID HAVE A NUMBER OF EX PARTES. I MET WITH MARTY PERRY.  SPOKE WITH THEM ON THE PHONE IN FAVOR OF JOHN BILLS JOHN [INAUDIBLE] AS WELL IN FAVOR OF STEVE MATHESON, [INAUDIBLE] AND A NUMBER OF BELLENISLES RESIDENTS IN OPPOSITION TOO. SO I KIND OF SAW BOTH SIDES OF IT AS WELL. SO NOW THIS ITEM HAS BEEN PULLED FROM CONSIDERATION MAX WOULD YOU PLEASE JUST REVIEW THE PROCESS. THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED A POSTPONEMENT SO IT IS UP TO THE COUNCIL TO VOTE ON THAT POSTPONEMENT AND I BELIEVE STAFF THEY HAVE ALREADY  MADE A RECOMMENDATION AND THEY HAVE A RECOMMENDATION FOR THE TIME THEY'VE REQUESTED A POSTPONEMENT UNTIL JULY 11TH.

BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THAT IS FEASIBLE. MS. CROWLEY CAN EXPAND ON THAT. SO WE WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND IF WE HAVE ANY CARDS ON THIS WE HAVE WE'D HAVE TO TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT TONIGHT EVEN IF IT IS POSTPONED. I WILL TELL THE PEOPLE THAT ANYBODY HAS PUT IN A CARD FOR IT IF YOU SPEAK OF IT IF IT IS POSTPONED IF YOU CHOOSE TO SPEAK THIS EVENING YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SPEAK AT FIRST READING WHEN IT COMES BACK. YOU'LL JUST ONLY GET TO GET SPEAK TWICE FIRST READING AND SECOND READING. SO IF YOU WOULD BE SPEAKING TONIGHT FOR OR AGAINST THE PROJECT YOU WOULD BE DOING SO WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF A PRESENTATION BY THE PETITIONER OR STAFF. THANK YOU. STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST FOR POSTPONEMENT AND COUNCIL ACTION WILL BE NECESSARY AFTER THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN AFFORDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED A SPECIFIC POSTPONEMENT FOR 30 DAYS AND IN THEIR LETTER THE APPLICANT WAS VERY  SPECIFIC THAT THEY ARE LOOKING TO FILL THIS SPACE WITH A POTENTIAL CORPORATE USER AND MODIFY THE PROGRAM THEN POTENTIALLY TO ELIMINATE MEDICAL OFFICE USE AND REPLACE IT WITH A USE THAT IS UNSPECIFIED AT THIS POINT IN TIME. IT IS UNSPECIFIED WHAT THAT CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS MAY BE. NOR IS IT SPECIFIED WHETHER OR WHETHER OR NOT THAT CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS HAS YET COME INTO FRUITION. BUT WHAT STAFF DOES KNOW IS THAT IF THIS PETITION IS MODIFIED STAFF NEEDS THE ABILITY AND THE TIME TO BE ABLE TO REVIEW THE PETITION. THE TRAFFIC IMPACTS THE PARKING STATEMENTS THE SPECIFIC TURN LANE IMPROVEMENTS AND THE SUBSEQUENT VEGETATION THAT IS NECESSARY TO BE REMOVED ARE ALL BASED ON A SPECIFIC PROGRAM SO STAFF DOES NOT SUPPORT A 30 DAY POSTPONEMENT BECAUSE STAFF WOULD LIKE THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO REVIEW ANY  INFORMATION IF IT IS CHANGED STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE  PETITION BE POSTPONED INDEFINITELY AND IF THE PETITIONER DOES COME FORWARD AND SAY WE'RE NOT CHANGING ANYTHING THEN THE PETITION CAN MOVE FORWARD. BUT IF THE APPLICANT WISHES TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A MODIFIED PROGRAM STAFF NEEDS THE TIME TO BE ABLE TO EVALUATE THE NOT ONLY THE ANALYSIS BUT THEN OPEN TO THEN ALSO BE ABLE TO POTENTIALLY EVALUATE WHETHER OR NOT THE PETITION HAS TO BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD. AS A MATTER OF PROCEDURE SO STAFF RECOMMENDS A POSTPONEMENT INDEFINITELY. THANK YOU. CAN HAVE THE PETITIONER PLEASE. NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND IF YOU'VE BEEN SWORN IN. FOR THE RECORD MARTY PERRY  4500 PGA BOULEVARD PALM BEACH GARDENS HAVE BEEN SWORN IN. NOTWITHSTANDING NATALIE'S COMMENTS AND I UNDERSTAND WHERE SHE'S COMING FROM. THE REALITY IS IS THAT THE PROPOSED USE IF THIS TENANT IS SECURED IS BASICALLY GENERAL OFFICE USE WHICH IS A SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF DAILY TRIPS AS WELL AS PEAK HOUR TRIPS RELATIVE TO THE PROJECT. THE SITE PLAN WOULD NOT WOULD. WE DON'T PROPOSE ANY CHANGES TO THE SITE PLAN. THE TENANT HAS INDICATED THE PROSPECTIVE TENANT HAS INDICATED AN INTEREST IN THE BUILDING ITSELF AND IN THE SITE PLAN AS IT'S CURRENTLY LAID OUT. SO I DON'T REALLY SEE THE KIND OF CHANGES THAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT THE NECESSITY TO REVIEW BUT NOTWITHSTANDING THAT I MEAN I CAN  UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE THAT THEY WANT SOME TIME. YOU KNOW WE ASKED FOR 30 DAYS I THINK 60 DAYS PROBABLY WOULD BE BETTER FOR THEIR PURPOSES. THE REALITY IS AS WE HAD HOPED THAT WE'D BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROSPECTIVE NATIONAL TENANT BEFORE WE CAME

[01:25:03]

THOSE NEGOTIATIONS ARE ONGOING. WELL SINCE I EARLIER MENTIONED THAT I REALLY HAVEN'T SPOKE TO ANYBODY ABOUT THIS PROJECT USUALLY SINCE I'M A COUNCIL MEMBER OF THREE YEARS WITH AVENIR WITH MULTIPLE PROJECTS WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THE APPLICANT AND GO OVER POTENTIAL IDEAS AND THEY BOUNCE THINGS OFF COUNCIL WHICH USUALLY WILL HELP STREAMLINE THINGS THROUGH STAFF BUILD RELATIONSHIPS AND GET BUILDINGS BUILT. WE'VE EVEN TURNED DOWN THE TWIN TOWERS AND THEY'VE ADJUSTED TO THEIR PYRAMID SCHEMES TO GO WITH WHAT STAFF WANTED AND COUNCIL. SO I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE BRICK ON A DESIGN SO I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF YOU GUYS GOING BACKWARDS TO GO FORWARDS TO GET IT RIGHT BECAUSE AS NAIVE AS I AM ABOUT YOUR PARTICULAR PROJECT I DON'T KNOW HOW I CAN APPROVE ANYTHING WITHOUT BEING INVOLVED IN IT LIKE COSTCO. SO UNLESS YOU CAN ENLIGHTEN ME ON HOW YOU CAN DO SOMETHING IN 30 DAYS WHEN I'VE NEVER SPOKE TO ANYBODY ABOUT THIS. MR. WOODS LET ME SUGGEST ONE THING. FIRST OF ALL WE HAVE A PLAN THAT'S BEEN SUBMITTED WITH OUR GRAPHICS OF THE BUILDING. NONE OF OF THAT IS PROPOSED TO CHANGE.  WE'RE NOT PROPOSING ANY CHANGES TO THE SITE PLAN. WE'RE NOT CHANGING ANY PROPOSING ANY CHANGES TO THE ELEVATIONS OF THE BUILDING. EVERYTHING REMAINS IDENTICALLY THE SAME. BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING IS PROPOSING TO ELIMINATE ALL MEDICAL OFFICE USES CHANGE IT SO THAT THE USES WILL BE STRICTLY PROFESSIONAL OFFICE. OKAY. IT'LL BE A CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS FOR AN ENTITY THAT WILL BASICALLY USE IT AS GENERAL CORPORATE

[01:30:01]

[Items IX E, F, & G]

THERE IS. GOOD EVENING. NAME AND ADDRESS PLEASE. FOR THE RECORD MY NAME IS ANN BOOTH, I'M WITH  URBAN DESIGN [INAUDIBLE] STUDIOS AND I'M HERE TONIGHT TO REPRESENT THE APPLICANT. MY ADDRESS IS 610[INAUDIBLE] STREET IN WEST PALM BEACH AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN. WE ARE HERE TONIGHT TO WITH A MULTITUDE OF REQUESTS. THE APPLICANT IS INTERESTED IN PROVIDING A RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY WITHIN THE CITY CENTRE EXISTING PUD AND IN ORDER TO DO THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ELEMENTS THAT HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED THAT INCLUDES A LARGE SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAP AMENDMENT REZONING THE PROPERTY FROM COMMERCIAL TO MIXED USE AND A LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATION AMENDMENT AND A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TEXT AMENDMENT AS PART OF THE WHOLE PROCESS. WE WILL BE ALSO ASKING FOR TWO WAIVERS AS PART OF OUR SITE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR THE PUD. THE SITE IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF PGA BOULEVARD AND US 1, EXCUSE ME. IT IS SURROUNDED BY A VARIETY OF RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES. THERE IS EXISTING DEVELOPMENT ON THE MAJORITY OF THE PROPERTY THE DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE PROPOSING FOR THE RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT OF THIS PROJECT IS PARCEL F WHICH IS A VACANT TRACT ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE CITY CENTER PUD THE FUTURE LAND USE

[01:35:01]

THEY'LL BE ABLE TO SHOP WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE AND THEY'LL BE ABLE TO FIND ENTERTAINMENT WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE WE'VE SHOWN THAT THE PROJECT THAT WE'RE PROPOSING MEETS ALL LEVELS OF SERVICE FOR STANDARDS FOR TRAFFIC WATER SEWER DRAINAGE SOLID WASTE FIRE POLICE SCHOOLS AND RECREATION. AND THIS PROPOSED USE THAT IS IN THE SOUTHWEST CORNER PROVIDES AN EXCELLENT TRANSITION BETWEEN THE MORE  INTENSE COMMERCIAL USE OF THE CITY CENTER PUD AND THE RESIDENTIAL USES THAT ARE TO THE WEST. IT ALSO MEETS THE GOALS OF THE HOUSING ELEMENT BY PROVIDING WORKFORCE HOUSING COMPONENT. AS A LAND USE COMPARISON OF WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO WHAT IS CURRENTLY EXISTING THE EXISTING LAND USE AND COMMERCIAL ZONING ALLOWS FOR A POTENTIAL OF EIGHT HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND SQUARE FEET THAT INCLUDES RETAIL OFFICE RESTAURANT THERE'S AN EXISTING APPROVAL FOR ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SIX THOUSAND SQUARE FEET. THE PROPOSED LAND USE REDUCES THAT MAXIMUM POTENTIAL INTENSITY TO FOUR HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THREE THOUSAND SQUARE FEET PLUS THE ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SIX DWELLING UNITS. THE EXISTING APPROVAL PLUS WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING WILL DOCUMENT AND VEST THE PROPERTY FOR A FURTHER REDUCTION DOWN TO NINETY NINE THOUSAND SIXTY THREE SQUARE FEET PLUS THE ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SIX UNITS. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TEXT AMENDMENT WILL ALLOW A MIXED USE PUD WITH WORKFORCE HOUSING TO REQUEST A DENSITY BONUS DENSITY BONUSES ARE PROVIDED FOR IN THE CODE AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR ALL OTHER RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS IT IS JUST NOT A ALLOWED FOR IN A MIXED USE COMMUNITY OR MIXED USE ZONING THE APPLICANT IS VOLUNTARILY PROVIDING WORKFORCE HOUSING AND IN ORDER TO DO THAT WE NEED TO MAKE THESE REVISIONS TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE LAND USE AT LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. THE PUD PROVIDES FOR CONTROLS AND LIMITATIONS THAT ALLOW YOU TO IDENTIFY WHETHER A PARTICULAR PROJECT WORKS WITHIN THE GUIDELINES OF WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING FOR THIS TEXT AMENDMENT. SO ALTHOUGH THIS IS A TEXT AMENDMENT THAT ALLOWS CITY WIDE APPLICANTS TO COME IN AND AND IS INCENTIVIZES THEM TO PROVIDE WORKFORCE HOUSING YOU STILL HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY AND THE OBLIGATION TO REVIEW EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY AS IT COMES IN. THE CHANGE TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS MINOR. IT IT ADDS A COMPONENT INTO THE EXISTING LANGUAGE THAT ALLOWS FOR A MAXIMUM DENSITY OF UP TO 10 DWELLING UNITS TO THE ACRE AND OUR RH WOULD ALLOW FOR UP TO 15 UNITS TO THE ACRE. SO THIS IS STILL BELOW WHAT OTHER PUDS AND OTHER RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS COULD HAVE WITH A DENSITY BONUS THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATION TEXT AMENDMENT ALLOWS FOR THE LANGUAGE TO BE ADDED FOR A DENSITY BONUS WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH OTHER LANGUAGE IN THE CODE. IT JUST ALLOWS THE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT AS A PUD TO ASK FOR THAT DENSITY BONUS IF THERE IS A WORKFORCE HOUSING COMPONENT AS PART OF THAT MIXED USE COMMUNITY. AGAIN IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WHICH ENCOURAGES WORKFORCE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND IT PROVIDES THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES THAT OTHER PUDS ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE THE REZONING IS A REQUIREMENT IN ORDER TO GO FROM COMMERCIAL TO MIXED USE. IT WILL ALLOW FOR THIS INFILL OF A RESIDENTIAL USE WHICH IS REALLY IDEALLY SITUATED WITHIN AS I MENTIONED BEFORE THE WALKING DISTANCE OF SHOPPING ENTERTAINMENT EMPLOYMENT ALL OF THE THINGS THAT YOU WOULD STRIVE FOR FOR A MIXED USE COMMUNITY. IT IS CONSISTENT WITH

[01:40:02]

[01:45:05]

THERE'S A THERE'S AN ELEVEN FOOT DIFFERENCE IN THE GRADE SO WE HAVE A RETAINING WALL THERE. AND WE'RE RESPECTING THE EXISTING UTILITIES IN THAT RETAINING WALL AND PROVIDING FOR LANDSCAPING ON BOTH THE UPPER LEVEL AND THE LOWER LEVEL. THEN WE ARE ALSO PROVIDING A PEDESTRIAN SIDEWALK CONNECTION WHICH WILL COMPLETE THE PEDESTRIAN SYSTEM THROUGHOUT THE PUD AND MAKE THE CONNECTION OUT TO  ELLISON WILSON ROAD AND MAKE IT MUCH MORE CONVENIENT TO GET INTO AND OUT OF THE PUD THE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY FOR THE PUD AS IT CURRENTLY EXISTS IS IDENTIFIED IN PINK. THE APPLICANT IS GOING TO BE PROVIDING OR THE APPLICANTS THE PROPERTY OWNER WILL BE PROVIDING CROSSWALKS AT ALL OF THE MAJOR INTERSECTION ACCESS POINTS.

THEY WILL PROVIDING ADDITIONAL PEDESTRIAN PATHWAYS THROUGH OUT THE PARCEL F THAT WILL CONNECT THE BUILDING TO THE EXISTING PATHWAYS THROUGH THE PUD THOSE EXISTING PATHWAYS THROUGH THE PUD AND THE SIDEWALK GO THROUGH A BEAUTIFUL PARK AREA THAT'S IN THE CENTER OF THE PROJECT. IT ALSO PROVIDES ACCESS TO THE RESTAURANTS AND THE SHOPPING THAT IS WITHIN THE PARCEL AS WELL AS THE ACCESS TO THE PUBLIC SIDEWALKS THAT ARE AROUND THE PROPERTY ALONG ALL OF THE OUTSIDE PERIMETER ROADWAYS THE POOL AREA HAS A NUMBER OF AMENITIES INCLUDING A NUMBER OF SEATING OPTIONS. AS MENTIONED EARLIER THERE WILL BE AN OUTDOOR DINING AREA THAT WILL BE COVERED WITH A SHADE SAIL. THERE WILL BE CABANAS AND LOUNGES. THERE IS A POOL.

THERE'S A TURF AREA WHERE THEY CAN HAVE YOGA CLASSES OR PLAY CORN HOLE OR OTHER ACTIVITIES AS APARTMENT DWELLERS MIGHT DO. THERE'S ALSO THE FITNESS STUDIO WHICH IS OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY. THERE'S A MEDIA ROOM AND THERE'S A VERY LARGE BICYCLE STORAGE AREA FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE BICYCLES THAT WANT TO GET AROUND. THE PROPOSED ARCHITECTURE IS A CONTEMPORARY VERSION OF THE EXISTING PUD ARCHITECTURE. BUT IT'S BEEN LIGHTENED AND BRIGHTENED AND IT IS A VERY NICE COMPLEMENT TO WHAT IS EXISTING THERE BUT IT TAKES FROM THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT SOME OF THE ELEMENTS AND TRIES TO INCORPORATE THEM IN SO THAT THERE'S NOT A TOTAL DISCONNECT. AS I MENTIONED THE GRADE DIFFERENTIAL ALLOWS FOR THE BUILDING TO ONLY BE FOUR LEVELS FOUR FLOORS HIGH AT THE ELLISON WILSON GRADE. THE PARKING IS BELOW GRADE AND YOU DON'T SEE THAT FROM ELLISON WILSON ROAD. THE VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL ARTICULATION HAS BEEN MODIFIED AS A RESULT OF COORDINATING AND WORKING WITH STAFF. THE BUILDING PROVIDES BALCONIES DECORATIVE [INAUDIBLE] DECORATIVE BANDING CONCRETE TILE ROOF TOWER ELEMENTS AND NEUTRAL COLORS THAT AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SLIDE. SOUTHWEST VIEW SHOWS HOW THE GRADE DIFFERENTIAL ON THE ELLISON WILSON SIDE WILL BE SCREENED BY A RETAINING WALL AND LANDSCAPING AND THEN WE HAVE THE ELEVATION WITH THE CLUBHOUSE. THE CLUBHOUSE WILL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE STYLE COLORS AND AND ARCHITECTURAL TREATMENT OF THE MAIN BUILDINGS. BUT IT WILL ALSO INCLUDE AN ARTIFICIAL IVY WALL WHICH WILL COMPLEMENT THE EXISTING NATURAL LANDSCAPING ALL BUILDINGS WILL HAVE DECORATIVE SCONCES AND WILL BE TIED TOGETHER ARCHITECTURALLY HERE ARE SOME ELEVATIONS THAT ARE NOT QUITE AS DESCRIPTIVE AS THE 3D. THE LANDSCAPE PLAN INCLUDES A NUMBER OF TREES AND SHRUBS THAT ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE PALETTE THAT IS WITHIN THE EXISTING PUD. THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE PLANT MATERIAL AS IT GOES INTO THE GROUND WHICH HAS ALLOWED THEM TO INCREASE THEIR POINTS THAT THEY'RE PROVIDING IN EXCESS OF WHAT THE CODE REQUIRES. THEY ARE ALSO

[01:50:06]

THIS IS AN INFILL DEVELOPMENT OF A VERY LONG VACANT PARCEL WHICH WILL BRING THE SANDHILL CREATE A BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY OUT OF SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN EMPTY FOR A VERY LONG TIME. IT DOES FURTHER THE GOALS OF THE CITY BY PROVIDING MORE FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS. IT PROVIDES HOUSING THAT'S WITHIN WALKING AND SHOPPING DISTANCE OF DINING AND ENTERTAINMENT. IT COMPLETES SIDEWALK CONNECTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MISSING. IT PROVIDES THE ADDITIONAL SAFETY OF THE CROSSWALKS AT THE ENTRY POINTS. IT HAS DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF OPEN SPACE THAT'S REQUIRED BY CODE. IT HAS INCREASED LANDSCAPING OVER WHAT IS REQUIRED BY CODE. IT'S LESS INTENSIVE THAN THE POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL USES THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED BY CODE AND IT'S LESS INTENSIVE THAN THE USES THAT ARE CURRENTLY APPROVED FOR THE SITE. WE HAVE MET OUR POSTING AND SIGNAGE AND NOTICE REQUIREMENTS. WE HAVE SENT ME THINGS TWICE AND THE PROJECT HAS BEEN POSTED WITH SIGNS IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. WE HAVE JACK [INAUDIBLE] FROM [INAUDIBLE] ACQUISITIONS WHICH IS THE APPLICANT. HE IS HERE IN THE ORDINANCE TODAY. SO IS STEVE MATHESON. ALBERT. [INAUDIBLE]. SORRY. HE IS OUR ARCHITECT. AND CHRIS HAGAN WITH KIMLEY HORN  IS OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER. AND THEY'RE ALL HERE TODAY IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THEM. I KNOW THAT JACK WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS YOU IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS SPECIFIC THAT HE CAN ANSWER. SO THANK YOU. WE'RE GONNA THINK THAT WAS A PRESENTATION. I'M SURE THAT SPANNED BOTH ORDINANCE 9 AND ORDINANCE 10. YES. I'M SORRY IT. IT DOES IT IN AN EFFORT TO CONSOLIDATE AND PRESENT THIS AND KNOWING HOW LONG YOUR AGENDA WAS I SHOULD HAVE ASKED YOU FIRST IF THAT'S OK. WE ASSUMED. BUT LET'S GO BACK TO JUST DISCUSS ORDINANCE 9. IS THERE A STAFF PRESENTATION ON ORDINANCE 9 DIRECTLY? STAFF TO HAS COMBINED OUR PRESENTATION HOWEVER WE ARE HAPPY TO PRESENT THE KEY INFORMATION ITEMS THAT RELATE TO ORDINANCE 9 BUT WE HAVE A COMBINED PRESENTATION SIMILAR TO THE APPLICANT. OKAY SO WE DON'T HAVE REALLY A STAFF PRESENTATION ON ORDINANCE 9. I DON'T  HAVE ANY CARDS ON ORDINANCE 9 EITHER SO WE CAN CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND LET'S GET A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE. I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE ORDINANCE 9 ON FIRST READING. OKAY LET'S BRING IT BACK FOR SOME DISCUSSION. MATTHEW DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. YEAH NO IT'S PRETTY CLEAR. CARL. WELL THE ONLY QUESTION I CAME THROUGH AN E-MAIL FROM ONE OF OUR RESIDENTS WAS CONCERN ABOUT MOVING THIS TYPE OF DISCUSSION BEFORE WE ACTUALLY HAD A WORKFORCE HOUSING CONSULTANT. BUT THE LANGUAGE THAT IS BEING CLEANED UP IN OUR CHARTER I GUESS IS REALLY DESIGNED TO MAKE SURE THAT FUTURE USES AND WORKFORCE HOUSING USES ARE GOING TO BE WELL

[01:55:02]

THANK YOU I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ARE THERE ANY EX PARTES. MATTHEW.

JACK I BELIEVE YOU DID A PRESENTATION AT THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE FOR THE CHAMBER IS THAT CORRECT? YES. OKAY. THERE YOU GO. I ACTUALLY SPOKE WITH STEVE MATHESON A COUPLE OF TIMES ON THIS PROJECT IN FAVOR OF IT. AND I SPOKE WITH JACK  AT HIS OFFICE AND ALSO WITH STEVE AND AND ANN IN FAVOR. THANK YOU. OK. WE ALREADY HAD THE PRESENTATION IS THERE ANY ADDITIONAL PRESENTATION OR STAFF PRESENTATION ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR ORDINANCE 10? WE DO STAFF DOES HAVE A VERY BRIEF PRESENTATION WHICH INCLUDES AND ADDRESSES ORDINANCE 10 ORDINANCE ELEVEN AND OF COURSE THE SITE PLAN WHICH MS. BOOTH PRESENTED. SO IF YOU WILL ALLOW STAFF TO BRIEFLY PRESENT THAT WE WILL BE VERY CONCISE. GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS MY NAME IS JOANNE [INAUDIBLE] PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN AND HAVE A VERY BRIEF PRESENTATION FOR YOU TONIGHT. WITH YOUR PERMISSION I'LL PRESENT A COMBINED PRESENTATION OF ORDINANCE 10 ORDINANCE 9 AND ORDINANCE 11 WITH AN OVERVIEW OF RESOLUTION 31 ALTHOUGH THAT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA FOR TONIGHT. THE SUBJECT SITE THE APPLICANT HAS GONE OVER IT'S LOCATED AT PGA BOULEVARD AND US HIGHWAY 1 PARCEL F HAS REMAINED VACANT SINCE THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL TWENTY TWO YEARS AGO IN 1999 [INAUDIBLE]. I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL WAS FOR AN ELEVEN STORY ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY SEVEN FOOT OFFICE BUILDING WITH A RETAIL BANK AND RESTAURANT AND IN 2000 THAT  APPROVED SITE PLAN WAS MODIFIED ON PARCEL F FOR REDUCTION OF THE BUILDING HEIGHT FROM ELEVEN STORIES TO SIX STOREYS AND ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE FEET AS WELL AS LANDSCAPING AND PARKING CHANGES AND IN 2004 THAT PARCEL DID RECEIVE A VESTED BUILD OUT DETERMINATION VESTING THE APPROVAL FOR THE OFFICE SO THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS TO MODIFY THAT APPROVAL. SORRY. TO CONVERT THE APPROVED OFFICE TO ONE HUNDRED THIRTY SIX UNIT MULTIFAMILY MULTI-FAMILY APARTMENT BUILDING ON PARCEL F WITH 14 WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS AND THERE ARE COMP PLAN TEXTS AMENDMENT LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT,  LDR TEXT AMENDMENT AND REZONING AND PUD ON THE PETITIONS BEFORE YOU. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TEXT AMENDMENT IS TO TAKE AN EXISTING PROVISION THAT EXISTS IN THE CITY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR A DENSITY BONUS FOR RESIDENTIAL HIGH PUD AND PROVIDE THE SAME OPPORTUNITY FOR RESIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF MIXED USE PUDS. THE MIXED USE [INAUDIBLE] COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT DOES ENCOURAGE AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES BUT DOES NOT ACTUALLY PROVIDE AN INCENTIVE FOR THESE AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES. SO THE

[02:00:03]

THIS IS THE EXISTING PROVISION IN RESIDENTIAL HIGH AND THE SAME LANGUAGE WILL BE INSERTED IN MIXED USE PUDS. AND THEN THE LAST PORTION OF THE PROJECT IS THE REZONING TO FROM COMMERCIAL GENERAL COMMERCIAL TO MIXED USE ON THE PARCEL AS WELL AS PUD AMENDMENT TO CONVERT THE APPROVAL FOR THE OFFICE TO A RESIDENTIAL APARTMENT BUILDING FOR THE REZONING. THE MIXED USE PROJECT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE ADJACENT ZONING DISTRICTS. THERE IS MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL APPROVED AND EXISTING IN THE SURROUNDING AREA AS WELL AS COMMERCIAL USES AND AS WITH ANY PROJECT STAFF TOOK A CLOSE LOOK AT THE SURROUNDING AREA TO SEE IF THE PROPOSED REZONING MADE SENSE FOR THE AREA. AND AS YOU CAN SEE THE FUTURE RESIDENTS OF THIS PARCEL WILL HAVE CLOSE AND CONVENIENT PEDESTRIAN ACCESS TO A VARIETY OF SERVICES TO GROCERY STORES  AND A PHARMACY STORE. A RANGE OF DINING OPTIONS OFFICE AND PERSONAL SERVICES AS WELL AS A STRONG PEDESTRIAN NETWORK AND TRANSIT OPTIONS. THE SITE PLAN. MS. BOOTH HAS GONE OVER IN DETAIL BUT INCLUDES ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SIX DWELLING UNITS FOUR STORIES OF APARTMENTS OVER STRUCTURED PARKING FOR A TOTAL OF SIXTY ONE FEET AND NINE INCHES. NICE CLUBHOUSE AREA WITH CENTRAL COURTYARD. ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY NINE PARKING SPACES INCLUDING THE FIRST LEVEL OF THE PARKING OF THE STRUCTURE WITH FOUR STORIES ABOVE AND 14 WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS. JUST TO GIVE A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE WORKFORCE HOUSING THESE. THIS SLIDE DEMONSTRATES THE INCOME LIMITS FOR HOUSEHOLDS THAT ARE AFFORDABLE AND WORKFORCE. THE AFFORDABLE ADDRESSES HOUSEHOLDS THAT ARE LESS THAN 80 PERCENT AMI AND WORKFORCE ADDRESS ADDRESSES HOUSEHOLDS BETWEEN 80 PERCENT AND ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY PERCENT AMI. THE APPLICANT IS DEDICATING 8 ONE BEDROOM UNITS IN 6 TWO BEDROOM UNITS. THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE DEED RESTRICTED FOR 20 YEARS AND WILL BE MONITORED ANNUALLY BY A THIRD PARTY AND JUST AN ADDITIONAL LAYER. THIS APPLICANT IS FURTHER RESTRICTING THE WORKFORCE ELEMENT TO BE A MAXIMUM OF ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONE  PERCENT AMI. GO BACK ONE SLIDE. THANK YOU. I KNOW I WANT BUT I WANT TO REFER TO IT SO THAT'S OK.  WITH ANY CONVERSION STAFF DID TAKE A LOOK AT TRAFFIC CONCURRENCY. THE SITE DID RECEIVE A BUILD OUT DETERMINATION AND RECEIVED A CREDIT FOR THE [INAUDIBLE] TRIPS FOR THE OFFICE. WHEN YOU CONVERT THAT OFFICE APPROVAL TO THE RESIDENTIAL THERE IS A NET PEAK HOUR TRIP REDUCTION STAFF ALSO TOOK A LOOK AT ACCESS AND CIRCULATION. THE PROJECT DOES MEET TRAFFIC STANDARDS AND CONCURRENCY REQUIREMENTS AND WAS APPROVED BY THE CITY TRAFFIC CONSULTANT AND STAFF IS AWARE OF THE GENERAL TRAFFIC CONCERNS IN THE AREA AND TOOK A LOOK AT SOME RECENT RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS THAT WERE APPROVED IN  THE AREA. ONE BEING THE [INAUDIBLE] NORTHEAST PROJECT THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE COUNTY IN AUGUST OF 2018 WHICH INCLUDES TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY UNITS. THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS AS FAR AS DAILY TRIPS AS WELL AS AM PEAK AND PM PEAK HOUR TRIPS. AND ANOTHER PROJECT THAT'S LOCATED IN THE CITY OF NORTH PALM BEACH CALLED THE WATER CLUB CONSISTS OF ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY TWO UNITS AS WELL AS TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND SQUARE FEET ACCESSORY OFFICE SPACE. ALSO SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER THAN THE PROPOSED USE WHICH IS PROPOSING TO REDUCE THE APPROVED OFFICE TRIPS AS FAR AS AM PEAK HOUR AND PM PEAK HOUR TRIPS. THE SITE HAS A STRONG EXISTING PEDESTRIAN NETWORK AND THE APPLICANT WORKED WITH STAFF TO IMPROVE UPON THAT CREATING KEY CROSSWALK CONNECTIONS THAT AREN'T EXISTING ON THE SITE. TODAY THE CLUBHOUSE HAS

[02:15:01]

CONTINUING ON THAT VEIN IF WE IF SOMEONE WERE TO BUY A ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR APARTMENT AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY MONEY TO PUT DOWN BECAUSE YOU KNOW SOMETIMES IT WAS WORKFORCE HOUSING THERE IS INCENTIVES TO DO DOWN PAYMENTS. BUT IF THEY HAD NO MONEY TO PUT DOWN SO THEY HAD TO PAY PRIVATE MORTGAGE INSURANCE ON ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR UNIT INCLUDING PRIVATE MORTGAGE INSURANCE. THE COST IS EIGHT HUNDRED AND ELEVEN DOLLARS A MONTH WHICH IS LESS THAN RENTING. NOW IF THERE WERE TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR HOUSE OBVIOUSLY IT'S DOUBLE THAT'S AT SIXTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS. SO THE WORKFORCE HOUSING IS ADDRESSING THAT ISSUE. YOU COULD GO BUY A UNIT FOR LESS. SO I'M JUST YOU KNOW I'M I'M JUST. THERE ARE TWO BY THE WAY IN PALM BEACH GARDENS THERE ARE FORTY SIX UNITS THESE ARE CONDOS BECAUSE I WANTED TO COMPARE APPLES TO APPLES. FORTY SIX UNITS THAT ARE TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS OR LESS IN THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS AND SO I AM IN FAVOR OF THE DENSITY BONUSES FOR THE WORKFORCE HOUSING AND I TOOK PICTURES OF THE NUMBERS  BECAUSE IF YOU WANTED TO RENT A UNIT IN SAN MATEO RIGHT NOW A 1 WOULD COST YOU PROBABLY ELEVEN TO $1250 IF YOU WANT TO BUY TO RENT A TO TWO. YOU'RE TALKING LIKE FOURTEEN HUNDRED TO SIXTEEN HUNDRED. SO WE HAVE IN THE CITY ON DESIGNATED WORKFORCE HOUSING WE'RE JUST GIVING IT A NAME NOW AS FOR TRAFFIC BECAUSE TRAFFIC IS ALWAYS AN ISSUE. THIS PROPERTY IS ENTITLED FOR A LOT MORE TRAFFIC THAN WHAT IS BEING BROUGHT TO US TODAY. AND IF THIS IS IF THIS IS APPROVED DAY IN PERPETUITY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A WHOLE LOT LESS TRAFFIC THAN WHAT THEY ARE APPROVED FOR.

BUT I ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT SOMETHING THAT THE CITY HAS JUST DONE AND IT'S CALLED A MOBILITY FEE NOT AN IMPACT FEE AND THE MOBILITY FEE IS IN PLACE TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE NOT ONLY TO DRIVE BUT TO WALK AND TO BIKE. AND THIS PARTICULAR  DEVELOPMENT IS IN A COMMUNITY. AND IF YOU WANT TO PULL THAT SLIDE BACK UP THAT SHOWED ALL OF THE DIFFERENT SERVICES AND RESTAURANTS AND WHATNOT IN THE AREA PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO BE GETTING IN THEIR CARS TO GO TO THE TWISTED TRUNK OR TO GO TO DORIS'S MARKET OR TO GO TO PUBLIX. AND IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT'S IN THE VICINITY AND WHO IS PAYING TAX DOLLARS GOLDEN BEAR PLAZA IS PAYING A MILLION DOLLARS CLOSE TO A MILLION DOLLARS IN TAX DOLLARS. AND WHY DO I BRING THAT UP. BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT CAN BE EMPLOYED BY THESE BUSINESSES AND WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR RESIDENTS TO WORK AT THOSE BUSINESSES. I MEAN THE LIST OF THE LIST OF WHO PAYS TAXES IN THAT AREA. PGA MARINA YOU'VE GOT ONE HUNDRED THIRTY SEVEN THOUSAND PROSPERITY SHOPPING PLAZA. THREE HUNDRED SIXTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS. WE NEED NOT ONLY DO WE NEED PEOPLE TO WORK IN THOSE WE NEED PEOPLE TO SERVICE THEM. WE NEED PEOPLE TO FREQUENT THEM. SO THE FACT THAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN A DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SIX UNITS THAT ARE WELL WITHIN WHAT IS ALREADY IN PALM BEACH GARDENS THIS IS QUITE FRANKLY A NO BRAINER. SO THAT WAS A LONG WINDED WAY OF SAYING I AM IN FAVOR OF THIS PROJECT.

THANK YOU. MATTHEW. ANY COMMENTS.

I AGREE WITH YOU. I TRY NOT TO GO OVER THAT BRIDGE BECAUSE IT IS VERY BUSY AND IT'S A LOW BRIDGE AND THERE'S NOT MUCH WE CAN CHANGE. AND YOU KNOW THOSE ARE BOTH COUNTY ROADS AND THE COUNTY WOULD BE THE ONES TO ADDRESS WHATEVER ISSUES TO TRY TO MITIGATE SOME OF THOSE THINGS. BUT I THINK THE KEY TO ALL OF THESE TYPES OF PROJECTS THAT

[Item IX I]

YES I HAD AN EX PARTE WITH KEVIN AND STEVE MATHESON AND ACTUALLY KEVIN THANK YOU FOR COMING TO OUR MOBILITY PRESENTATION THE OTHER EVENING. APPRECIATE THAT. CARL.

SAME. AND I'VE HAD MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE APPLICANTS AND STEVE MATHESON AS WELL ALL IN FAVOR OF THE PROJECT. CAN WE GET A PRESENTATION PLEASE. YES SIR AND IF IT WOULD PLEASE THE COUNCIL WE HAVE A COMBINED PRESENTATION FOR BOTH THE PCD AMENDMENT AS WELL AS THE SITE PLAN. HAVE YOU BEEN SWORN IN. FOR THE RECORD DONALDSON HEARING WITH COTLEUR & HEARING AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN. WELL GOOD EVENING MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. IT IS AN EXCITING DAY FOR US TO BE HERE WITH THE FIRST STEP OF THE RENOVATION AND REDEVELOPMENT AT DOWNTOWN AT THE GARDENS.

SO THIS IS THE CORNERSTONE OR THE CATALYST WHICH WILL WILL MOVE US FORWARD. MY PRESENTATION IS ABBREVIATED BUT I DID WANT TO TAKE A TAKE JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO RECOGNIZE A FEW PEOPLE OF COURSE YOU KNOW KEVIN WHO HAS REALLY BECOME INTEGRAL TO EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE DOING AT DOWNTOWN AT THE GARDENS BUT WE HAD SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR LEADERSHIP FROM SHOPCORE THAT ARE HERE. AND SO BRIAN DONNELLY WHO MANY OF YOU HAVE MET WHO IS A VP WITH SHOPCORE. DAVID DIETERLIE WHO IS A EXECUTIVE VP WITH SHOPCORE IS HERE AND WE HAVE ONE NEW MEMBER WHO YOU WILL BE SEEING HE'LL BE A COUNTERPART WITH WITH KEVIN AND HIS NAME IS STEVE [INAUDIBLE]. AND HE HAS BEEN BROUGHT ON FULL TIME TO MANAGE CONSTRUCTION NOT ONLY OF THE LIFETIME PROJECT BUT AS WE CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD. JUST JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT TO YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE THIS PROJECT HAS THE FULL ATTENTION OF THE SHOPCORE LEADERSHIP FROM FROM CHICAGO. ALSO WITH US THIS EVENING IS OR WE HAVE TWO REPRESENTATIVES HERE FROM FROM LIFETIME MR. SCOTT FERGUSON WHO RUNS THEIR CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT AND BRIANNA [INAUDIBLE] WHO RUNS THEIR ARCHITECTURAL MANAGEMENT PROJECT MANAGEMENT PROJECT MANAGER FOR FOR THIS PROJECT. SO VERY VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE MR. CHRIS HAGAN IS HERE AS WELL WITH THE OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEERING FIRM

[02:30:02]

[02:35:03]

OUR CROSSWALKS ARE ILLUMINATED. SO AS YOU WOULD DRIVE BY THE ILLUMINATED HAVE LOW WHAT I CALL ALMOST HOCKEY PUCKS THAT ILLUMINATE THE CROSSWALKS. THAT'S JUST FOR ADDED SAFETY HELP TO DEFINE THOSE AREAS BECAUSE WE DO WANT TO CREATE AN AREA WHERE WE'RE SLOWING TRAFFIC DOWN. WE'RE CREATING A PEDESTRIAN ENVIRONMENT. CARS ARE INVITED BUT WE WANT PEOPLE TO BE INVITED AS WELL. SO ON THE ON THE ROOF DECK AND I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THIS THIS PIECE OF COURSE WITHIN THE MAIN LIFETIME BUILDING THERE THEY ARE THEY ALSO INDOOR SWIMMING POOLS AND AND WHIRLPOOLS AND SPAS BUT ACTUALLY ON THE ON THE ROOF DECK THERE IS MORE OF A LEISURE POOL IT'S REALLY MORE OF A RESORT TYPE OF AN ENVIRONMENT. THERE ARE OUTDOOR CABANAS. IT'S JUST A WONDERFUL ENVIRONMENT FOR PEOPLE AS WELL AS AN OUTDOOR BISTRO WHERE SOMEONE COULD COME UP AND HAVE A BISTRO EXPERIENCE. SO REALLY INTENDED TO APPEAL TOWARD THE ENTIRE FAMILY FROM THE FROM THE KIDS WITH WITH CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS AND CHILDREN'S ACADEMY KIDS ACADEMY NOT ONLY DEALING WITH FITNESS BUT ALSO TUTORIAL PROGRAMS ALL THE WAY UP TO EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS TO DO SO MANY DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE LIFETIME BUILDING. TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT LANDSCAPE OF COURSE THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION IN THE STAFF REPORT BUT ON OUR ON OUR PROPOSED PLAN WE HAVE ACTUALLY ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FOUR EITHER EXISTING OR NEW TREES AND PALMS AROUND THE BUILDING. I SHOW YOU THIS PICTURE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BENEFIT ALONG GARDENS PARKWAY AS WELL AS ON OUR SITE TO HAVE SOME VERY NICE MATURE OAK TREES. THE MAJORITY OF THESE WILL REMAIN AND OR THEY WILL BE RELOCATED AND UTILIZED. THE TREE THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU WHICH IS ONE OF THE TREES THAT'S GOING TO REMAIN ACTUALLY HAS A FORTY FIVE FOOT CANOPY AND IS ABOUT FORTY FIVE FEET IN HEIGHT. JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA REALLY PRESENT A NICE SCALE. AND THEN WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE ADMIRALTY BUILDING RIGHT HERE ON THE CORNER OF PGA BOULEVARD AND AND MILITARY THOSE LARGE CANOPY TREES REALLY CHANGE THE WHOLE SETTING AND SCALE OF THE BUILDINGS SO THAT'S WE ARE PRESERVING THOSE WITHIN THE SITE. OTHER PLANT MATERIALS INCLUDE [INAUDIBLE] DATE PALMS JAPANESE BLUEBERRIES AND A LIKE ALL IN A VERY MULTI LEVEL MULTI TIERED DESIGN. SO JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE AMOUNT OF GREEN THAT WE HAVE AROUND THE BUILDING REALLY A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF GREEN SPACE THAT GOES AROUND THE BUILDING. THE BUILDINGS ARE INTENDED TO SPECIFICALLY ENGAGE GARDENS PARKWAY SO THAT REALLY THEY HIDE KIND OF WHAT WE WOULD SAY THE VISIBLE PARKING FIELDS WHICH IS KIND OF AN URBAN DESIGN TECHNIQUE THAT WE'D LIKE LIKE TO USE SO VERY NICELY DONE. THE ARCHITECTURE AND I'LL I'LL GO INTO THIS IN A LITTLE BIT OF DETAIL. REALLY NICELY DONE. WE HAVE THE LIFETIME BUILDING AS WELL AS THE GARAGE AND THE BUILDING ITSELF IS CLADDED IN WHAT WE CALL A CORDOVA CREAM LIMESTONE. AND THEN AT THE BASE WE HAVE A GRAY LIMESTONE. WE HAVE A LOT OF ARCHITECTURAL METAL CANOPIES THAT ARE UTILIZED. AND THEN THE MULLIONS AND ALL OF THE ON ALL OF ALL THE GLAZING IS A NATURAL WHAT WE'D CALL A CLEAR ANODIZED GLAZING SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A CONTEMPORARY CLEAN LOOK. AND THE SAME MATERIALS ARE INCORPORATED ONTO THE PARKING GARAGE SO THE PARKING GARAGE HAS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ARCHITECTURAL TREATMENT. ALSO INCORPORATE WHAT WE REFER TO AS LONGBOARD SIDING. BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE'RE PROVIDING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF LANDSCAPING AND THE LANDSCAPING HAS BEEN VERY INTENTIONAL. YOU CAN SEE HOW IT LOOKS WITH YOU KNOW WITH THE BUILDINGS REALLY INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED TO ENHANCE THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE BUILDING. SO YOU SEE A PALM YOU'LL PUT IT IN A SPECIFIC LOCATION IT'S THERE FOR A REASON TO CREATE THE SCALE AND TO REINFORCE THE GREAT ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN THAT WE HAVE.

SO AGAIN ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY TWO DIFFERENT TREES AROUND THIS ONE ONE LITTLE THREE POINT TWO ACRE AREA THAT'S AFFECTED BY THE SITE. SO VERY NICELY DONE VERY NICELY ARTICULATED. THIS IS THE EAST ELEVATION OF THE BUILDING AND THEN THE WEST ELEVATION FACES THE GARAGE. YOU LIKELY WOULD NOT SEE THAT. SO THIS IS AS YOU COMING IN THE ENTRANCE WAY ON WHAT WE CALL LAKE VICTORIA. AND ACTUALLY YOU DON'T

[02:40:04]

[02:45:03]

SECOND. ALL RIGHT LET'S BRING IT BACK FOR DISCUSSION. MARIA WHY DON'T WE START WITH YOU THIS TIME. WELL I HAVE TO SAY THAT IN DOING SOME RESEARCH ON LIFETIME AND WHAT THEY HAVE BUILT AROUND THE COUNTRY. CORAL GABLES IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF OH MY GOD.

THAT'S FABULOUS. SO I MEAN BETWEEN HAVING STUDIO CLASSES, A KIDS ACADEMY, A FITNESS FLOOR, SWIM, CAFE, SPA, LIFETIME, WORKSPACE, THAT'S AN INTERESTING CONCEPT AND LIFETIME LIVING YOU ALL SEEM TO HAVE CHECKED A LOT OF BOXES THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO AN URBAN CORE OF A CITY. AND I THINK IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE THAT PROPERTY IS A PARKING LOT RIGHT NOW. YOU DON'T REALIZE THAT THAT'S WHERE THE BUILDING IS GONNA GO. IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S GREEN SPACE IT'S ALREADY GOT CONCRETE THERE. SO BECAUSE I SAID WHERE'S THIS GOING AND PULLED IT UP AS AN AERIAL SO YOU HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE BUT I AM I I DON'T SEE ANY DOWNSIDE TO THIS. SO I AM IN FAVOR.

CARL. SURE THANK YOU. SOME OF MY QUESTIONS ARE GONNA BE BASED ON MORE THE GLOBAL VISION OF BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY ASKS QUESTIONS ON ON HOW THIS WAS PRESENTED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND WENT NOWHERE. SO THE COMMUNITY STILL GOTTEN INVOLVED IN ASKING ME QUESTIONS WHEN THIS WHEN THAT AND. SO SOME OF MY QUESTIONS MIGHT BE MORE BASED OUTSIDE OF THIS ONE THING THAT WE'RE VOTING ON. FIRST OFF UNLIKE THE BILLS PROJECT I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU GUYS FOR BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH COUNCIL AND STAFF AND DOING RANDOM PRESENTATIONS AND COMMUNICATING WITH EVERYBODY SO WE COULD BUILD SOMETHING THAT'S BEAUTIFUL FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THAT BENEFITS SHOPCORE. I MET WITH [INAUDIBLE] AND DAVID SPOKE WITH THEM AND AND QUITE FRANKLY I'VE BUILT RELATIONSHIPS WITH YOU PEOPLE. SO FOR LACK OF BETTER TERM YOU PEOPLE. SO KNOWING DOWNTOWN AT THE GARDENS AS WELL AS I DO I ALSO KNOW THAT THE NORTH END OF THAT ALONG GARDENS PARKWAY IS KIND OF LIKE A DEAD SPOT FOR PARKING. THERE'S NOT A LOT OF PARKING THAT HAPPENS THERE UNLESS YOU'RE GOING TO PARK WHERE LIFETIME IS GONNA GO AND YOU GONNA BOLT UP TO A MOVIE. NO ONE PARKS THERE AND WALKS ELSEWHERE. SO OVERALL DON HOW MANY PARKING SPOTS ARE WE TAKING UP ON THE NORTH END.

WE'RE ADDING FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX SPACES AND I BELIEVE THAT WE'RE TAKING AWAY ABOUT 100. SO IS THERE LIKE 200 AND SOMETHING THERE NOW AND WE'RE ADDING. I'LL TELL YOU. SO WE'RE GAINING 200. YEAH YEAH WE WE'RE TAKING YEAH WE'RE GAINING ABOUT 200 SPACES. OK AND THERE WAS A QUESTION THAT SOMEONE MORE THAN ONE PERSON ASKED ME IN THE COMMUNITY LIKE WHY ARE WE BUILDING ANOTHER PARKING LOT AS OPPOSED TO USING THE EXISTING ONE. AND I KNOW WE HAVEN'T GONE OUTSIDE OF THIS PARTICULAR THING AND EVERYTHING'S GOT MOVING PARTS BUT ARE WE IN DESIGN. ARE WE IS THE THOUGHT TO TEAR DOWN THE OTHER PARKING GARAGE OR LEAVE IT. THE NORTHWEST GARAGE WILL REMAIN AND. NORTHEAST GARAGE.  YEAH WELL NORTHEAST GARAGE WILL REMAIN.

AND SO AS WE AS WE ADD THE PARKING AND WE LOOK TOWARD FUTURE DEVELOPMENT WE LOOK TOWARD THE CHANGES IN THE IN THE IN WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN WITH MOBILITY AND TRANSIT. WE KEEP ALL THAT IN MIND AND ALL THAT IS BEING ADDRESSED AND ALSO TO PROVIDE FOR THE THE FUTURE BUILD OUT OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'LL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO IN THE REDEVELOPMENT. I BROUGHT IT UP BECAUSE IT WAS A GOOD QUESTION THAT THE COMMUNITY A COUPLE OF PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ME THE COMMUNITY SO I JUST WANTED IT OUT THERE AND I WASN'T 100 PERCENT SURE THAT POSSIBLY SOMETHING ELSE WAS GOING TO GO THERE. SO YOU KNOW I APPRECIATE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH STAFF AND YOU KNOW I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS AGGRESSIVELY MOVING FORWARD AS WE SPOKE IN THE PAST TO HAVE A BRACKETED TIMELINE WHERE WE ARE GETTING NEW ISSUES BROUGHT TO STAFF. SO THIS IS MOVING AND DONE IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS. WE WILL BE MAKING A REQUEST TOMORROW MORNING FOR OUR PRE PERMIT MEETING AND WE'LL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT AS SOON AS THAT IS OFFERED FOLLOWED BY OUR PRE CONSTRUCTION MEETING. SO WE WISH TO MOVE FORWARD AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN. OBVIOUSLY EVERYTHING TAKES TIME TO PERMIT [INAUDIBLE] AND WELL INTO THAT WAY. AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT KEVIN SIGNED THE PRE

[02:50:02]

CAN YOU PLEASE SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE. SURE. I HAVE ALSO SPOKEN TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN HAVE LIFETIME AND THEY HAVE GREAT THINGS TO SAY ABOUT IT. I DON'T THINK THAT THIS ADVERSELY AFFECTS ANY OF THE NEIGHBORS. AND AS WE GO FORWARD IN THE DEVELOPMENT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO BE VERY COGNIZANT OF HOW THIS AFFECTS OUR RESIDENTS OUR CURRENT RESIDENTS WHO LIVE AT LANDMARK. THANKS. YOU KNOW MY MY FIRST THOUGHT LIKE ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE WHY WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE. BUT AS CARL SAID AND YOU KNOW BASICALLY YOU KIND OF READ MY MIND ALL THE WAY THROUGH. MY BIGGEST QUESTION TO YOU KEVIN WAS ALWAYS WHAT'S THE BIGGER PICTURE BECAUSE IF IT'S JUST GOING TO BE A LIFETIME IN A GARAGE THEN SO WHAT. DOWNTOWN AT THE GARDENS IS REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE THE CENTER OF OUR TOWN. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THE PLACE WHERE WE TAKE OUR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS AND GO AND BE A PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER THAN JUST A PLACE TO GRAB A MEAL OR GO TO THE GYM AND GO HOME BECAUSE IF THAT'S ALL IT'S GOING TO BE THEN IT'S REALLY NOTHING ALL THAT EXCITING TO ME I MEAN LIFETIME IS A VERY NEAT CONCEPT AND IT'S A GREAT BUSINESS MODEL AND ONE OF MY STAFF MEMBERS HIS GIRLFRIEND WORKS AT THE ONE IN BOCA AND THEY ALWAYS TALK ABOUT HOW GREAT IT IS TO GO THERE. BUT FOR ME IT'S REALLY MAKING SURE THAT DOWNTOWN AT THE GARDENS BECOMES DOWNTOWN AT THE GARDENS A PLACE WHERE WE ALL CAN GO AND WE'VE BEEN TAKEN DOWN THIS ROAD A FEW TIMES IN OUR TIME ON COUNCIL AND BEFORE THAT TO WHERE SOMEONE COMES IN WITH THESE GRANDIOSE PLANS AND THEY SPLASH IT IN THE NEWSPAPER AND TALK ABOUT HOW WONDERFUL IT'S GOING TO BE THEN THEY LEAVE. AND IT KIND OF LEAVES US WITH THIS JEWEL OF A SPOT LIKE THE CENTER OF OUR TOWN THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE AMENITIES AND THE EXCITEMENT THAT REALLY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE. SO I KNOW THAT PRE APPLICATIONS ARE COMING IN TOMORROW. THAT'S WONDERFUL NEWS BECAUSE FOR ME WITHOUT THAT PART OF IT IT'S NOT THAT EXCITING TO ME BUT I KNOW THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A PART OF A BIGGER PICTURE THAT MAKES ALL OF IT THAT MUCH BETTER. AND I THANK YOU FOR ALL THE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD BECAUSE THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO ME AS AS AS AS A RESIDENT OF THIS CITY AND NOT ONLY THAT AS WE WERE TALKING AS WELL ABOUT MOBILITY. AND THANKS AGAIN FOR COMING THE OTHER NIGHT. BUT THIS IS A PART OF THAT AND YOU'VE GUYS ALREADY GOT PLANS FOR THE NEXT PHASE TO INCLUDE SHUTTLE SPACE INCORPORATING WHATEVER DESIGN WE'RE GONNA HAVE INTO DOWNTOWN WHICH OBVIOUSLY BENEFITS BENEFITS YOU BENEFITS YOUR YOUR TENANTS BENEFITS THE PRODUCT PROJECT AS A WHOLE BECAUSE YOU WANT TO DRAW PEOPLE INTO IT. SO BEING A PARTNER IN ALL OF THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT AND I KNOW YOU LIVE IN CHICAGO AND YOU GOT A LITTLE BOY AND YOU WANT TO GO HOME TO HIM TOO BUT THIS IS OUR TOWN AND WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR YOU TO BE HERE AS MUCH AS YOU ARE. YOU SURROUNDED  YOURSELF WITH REALLY GOOD PEOPLE THAT REALLY UNDERSTAND OUR CITY AND THAT'S THE COMMITMENT THAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE SEE GOING FORWARD. I JUST WANT TO ECHO THAT BACK AND IT'S WONDERFUL. YOU'VE HEARD THAT SEVERAL SENIOR PEOPLE FROM SHOPCORE ARE HERE TONIGHT. I THINK ON BOTH SIDES THIS IS NOT ONLY THE LIFETIME PIECE IS A CORNERSTONE BUT WE BOTH HOLD IN HIGH REGARD THE POTENTIAL FOR DOWNTOWN AT THE GARDENS AND WE ON BOTH SIDES WE WANT TO SEE THAT THAT REALIZED. SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORK WITH YOU FURTHER. THANK YOU. KEVIN I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION SIR. JUST BECAUSE I ASKED THE BILL'S PEOPLE THE SAME QUESTION AND I KNOW YOU PROBABLY CAN'T PUT UP LIFETIME UNLESS YOU HAVE IT BUT JUST FOR A MATTER OF A SUNSHINE QUESTION YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION WITH LIFETIME IN WRITING IN AND

[02:55:04]

WILL RETAIN OWNERSHIP OF THE ACTUAL BUILDING ITSELF. THE LANDLORD SHOPCORE. CAN YOU SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE PLEASE. SHOPCORE THE LANDLORD WILL. AND ONE MORE QUESTION.

AS WELL AS THE PARKING DECK. OK. THANK YOU. ONE MORE QUESTION. DID WE RECEIVE COMMENTS FROM LANDMARK ABOUT THIS PROJECT. NO COMMENTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED FROM BY STAFF. I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY EITHER SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE. THANK YOU.

WHO ARE THE LIFETIME PRINCIPALS BY THE WAY. IF YOU CAN JUST RAISE YOUR HAND SO I KNOW WHO YOU ARE. THANK YOU. AND THE SHOPCORE. BOTH ACTUALLY ARE SCOTT FERGUSON DEVELOPMENT MANAGER AND BREANNA [INAUDIBLE] A PROJECT MANAGER.

BRIANA THEY'LL BE THE ROLE WILL TRANSITION TO BRIANA. SHE'S ALREADY HAD A PRELIMINARY MEETING WITH CITY ENGINEERS. AND SHOPCORE WHERE ARE THE SHOPCORE PRINCIPALS. BACK OF THE ROOM. VERY NICE. WELL I APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR COMMITMENT AND WE'RE GOING TO HOLD YOU TO YOUR COMMITMENT AS WELL. IT'S GONNA BE WONDERFUL AND YOU GUYS ARE GONNA DO REALLY REALLY WELL WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE SO WITH NO OTHER DISCUSSION CAN I GET A VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. ANY OPPOSED.

[Item IX K]

TONIGHT I PRESENT TO YOU ALONG WITH OUR APPLICANT BROCK PGA HOTEL LLLP OUR ART IN PUBLIC PLACES. WE DO HAVE OUR ARTISTS HERE TONIGHT. MARK FULLER ALONG WITH DEREK BROCK WHO'S WITH THE APPLICANT. LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS AND PLANNERS ARE COTLEUR & HEARING ALONG WITH [INAUDIBLE] DESIGN. TONIGHT OUR REQUEST IS TO FULFILL THE AIPP REQUIREMENT FOR THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS AND WE'RE REQUESTING APPROVAL OF TWO SCULPTURES. VERY QUICKLY EVERYBODY IS PRETTY FAMILIAR WITH MARK FULLER. HE'S NOT ONLY DONE WORK HERE IN OUR CITY AND THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF FLORIDA BUT HE'S DONE MULTIPLE PIECES THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AS WELL.

THE LOCATION OF THE SITE IS ALONG PGA BOULEVARD AND RCA BOULEVARD. THE SITE ITSELF IS ACTUALLY LOCATED WITHIN THE PGA STATION PUD WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 30 ACRES

[03:00:04]

THE SCALE OF IT IS EIGHT FEET TALL FOURTEEN FEET WIDE AND TWO FEET IN DEPTH. AND AGAIN IT HAS A SIMILAR ALUMINUM PLATE HIGH GLOSS YELLOW WITH THE MIRROR POLISH STAINLESS STEEL. SIMILARLY TO THE FIRST SCULPTURE THIS ONE HAD A LITTLE BIT MORE DIFFICULT REQUIREMENTS FOR THE LANDSCAPING BECAUSE IT'S UNDER A [INAUDIBLE] IT'S COMPLETELY COVERED. SO WHAT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE TO PROPOSE PLANTS THAT WOULD HAVE THE HIGHEST CHANCE OF SURVIVAL AND TO REALLY LOOK GREAT COMING INTO THIS ENTRANCE. SO WE'RE PROPOSING THE [INAUDIBLE] ALONG WITH [INAUDIBLE] GREEN ISLAND IN THIS AREA. AND AGAIN SAME REQUIREMENTS. IT WILL MEET THE LIGHTING REQUIREMENT FROM DUSK UNTIL DAWN WITH FOUR SPOTLIGHTS. THESE PARTICULAR ART SCULPTURES WILL EACH HAVE

[03:05:05]

GREAT JOB IN YOUR PRESENTATION NICOLE. THANK YOU. I THINK IT'S A LOVELY ADDITION AND I LIKE I LIKE THE WORK ITSELF. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I HAD TWO TWO COMMENTS AT STAFF ONE WAS MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT EASILY ACCESSIBLE FOR KIDS TO BE CLIMBING BECAUSE IT IS LOW AND YOU GOT THOSE NEAT LITTLE SPOTS WHERE SOME PEOPLE MIGHT WANT TO FIND A WAY BUT IT'S IT'S LANDSCAPED AROUND. CORRECT.

RIGHT AND THAT WAS SOMETHING IMPORTANT THAT WE DID WORK WITH WITH STAFF TO CHOOSE PARTICULAR PLANTS THAT MAY LOOK A LITTLE BIT SPIKY TO TO ACTUALLY DETER VISUALLY FROM ANYBODY TRYING TO CLIMB ON IT. OK. AND I NOTICED IT WAS A 5 2 ON THE AIPP. I LOVE MARK'S WORK. I GUESS HE DOES A LOT OF WORK IN THE CITY WAS THAT WAS THAT THE COMMENT. YES THE TWO THE TWO BOARD MEMBERS THAT OPPOSED THE PROJECT WERE OPPOSING THE PROJECT PRIMARILY BECAUSE MARK FULLER WAS THE ARTIST.

[Item IX L]

LOOK WHAT YOU'RE SKIPPING ALL THIS EXCITEMENT. SO VERY QUICKLY THE CLUBHOUSE THAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU TONIGHT. THIS IS THE REQUEST FOR THE AVENUE RECREATION AREA. THE CLUBHOUSE IS ABOUT 12000 SQUARE FEET. THERE'S APPROXIMATELY 17000 SQUARE FEET THAT'S UNDER AIR THERE'S SIGNIFICANT COMPACT CANOPY AREA AND THROUGHOUT THE CLUBHOUSE WE HAVE OUR WHOLE DESIGN TEAM INCLUDING OUR ARCHITECT HERE THIS EVENING. BUT JUST VERY QUICKLY THE CLUBHOUSE IDENTIFIED ON THE SCREEN IN

[03:10:01]

HERE'S A VIEW OF THE TENNIS COURTS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. AND HERE THE PICKLE BALL COURTS HERE SOME OF THE TOP LOT AND PLAY EQUIPMENT THE WALKING AREAS WHERE YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW THE LAKES AND HERE'S A TRELLIS FEATURE. AND THEN HERE IS THE CLUBHOUSE. LET ME WALK IN JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ABOUT THE BUILDING AND I'LL BE DONE. SO HERE'S THE SITE LOOKING IN PLAIN VIEW. YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THERE'S A POOL IN THE BACK AND THERE'S ALSO A LAP POOL AND THERE'S ALL TYPES OF OTHER FEATURES IN THE CLUBHOUSE ITSELF. ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE IS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE IS THE IS THE LARGE AREA THAT'S OPEN AND AVAILABLE TO USE. AND ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE IS THE GYMNASIUM FACILITY. AND THEN YOU HAVE THIS KIND OF CENTER AREA HERE FOR FOR THE AREA WITHIN THE KITCHEN SO HERE'S A VIEW THE DROP OFF AND THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE PROJECT. AS YOU LOOK INTO THE PROJECT AND THIS IS A PHOTO REALISTIC RENDERING YOU WILL SEE THIS WHEN YOU DRIVE OUT THE EDGE VENEER AND A FEW YEARS YOU'LL SEE THIS DESIGN YOU'LL NOTICE THE PALM TREES COMING IN ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE THE LEFT HAND SIDE. THERE IS NOT A PORTICO SHARE THAT IS NOT PART OF THIS FORM OF ARCHITECTURE. THERE IS A DROP OFF POINT. THERE'S A GYM AN AEROBICS ROOM THAT IS LOCATED ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE AGAIN IT'S A LARGE EVENTS SPACE. WE HAVE LOCKER ROOMS AND THEN THERE'S A CAFETERIA. SO AS YOU WALK IN THERE'LL BE A CAFE IN THE BACK. SO THIS IS THE VIEW OF AVID CLUBHOUSE LOOKING FROM THE REAR AND THIS REALLY EXPLAINS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU COME TO AVENUE AND YOU COME TALK TO THE CLUBHOUSE AGAIN ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. THE LARGER EVENT AREA AND WITHIN THE CLUBHOUSE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE IS WHERE THE GYMNASIUM AND IN THE PHYSICAL FACILITIES ARE. BUT ON THE OUTSIDE AND THE SCREEN YOU COULD SEE THE LAP POOL HERE THE OVERHANG PORTICO CASHIER. THIS IS A FIRE PIT RIGHT HERE.

THIS IS AN OUTDOOR SPLASH. THIS IS AN OUTDOOR SPLASH PAD. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT POOL. AND THEN THERE ARE THESE CABANA FEATURES THROUGHOUT THE AREA. SO YOU HAVE

[03:15:04]

BUT THE IMPORTANT FEATURE OF THIS THAT I WANT TO NOTE THAT'S DIFFERENT FROM THIS CLUBHOUSE IS THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OUTDOOR COVERED SPACE IN THIS AREA WHERE MY MOUSE IS IS OUTDOOR COVERED SPACE. SO PEOPLE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EAT AND RELAX A PLACE TO GO TO HAVE A DRINK ON A FRIDAY NIGHT WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO. BUT WHAT'S THAT GOING TO LOOK LIKE AND SO ON THE NEXT SLIDE AS YOU'RE SITTING WITHIN THAT AREA. THIS IS YOUR VIEW OF HAVING YOUR CLUBHOUSE IT'S A NICE RELAXING ENVIRONMENT FOR EVERYONE TO ENJOY. AND AGAIN IT HAS ALL TYPES OF FACILITIES FROM EVERYONE FROM FIVE YEARS OLD TO WHATEVER AGE YOU WANT TO BE TO GO PLAY IN THE AVENUE OR CLUBHOUSE THERE. IN SUMMARY THERE ARE NO WAIVERS. WE HAVE STAFF RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL. WE HAVE 81 PERCENT OPEN SPACE AND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT ABOVE THE REQUIRED LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE. AGAIN I HAVE A FULL PRESENTATION BUT I THOUGHT I DO THE READER'S DIGEST FOR YOU TO SEE ME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THERE A STAFF PRESENTATION NO STAFF PRESENTATION STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 38 2019. I HAVE NO CARDS ON THIS WHO WILL CLOSE THE HEARING.

MOTION IS SECOND TO MOVE THAT WE ADOPT RESOLUTION 38 2019. OUR SECOND CAME BACK FOR DISCUSSION MATT WHEN I START THE DISCUSSION. SURE I WANT TO BE VERY BRIEF.

I THINK THAT THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH EVERYTHING ELSE THAT'S GOING ON AND EVERY YEAR IT'S IT'S IT'S AN INCREDIBLE PROJECT AND THIS IS VERY WELL THOUGHT THROUGH AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A WONDERFUL CONTRIBUTION TO OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU.

COUNCIL MEMBER WAYNE MARIA THANK YOU FOR THE BRIEF PRESENTATION. BUT YOU KNOW WE DID HAVE STAFF PRESENTATION TOO SO WE GOT THE IDEA. IT'S A.. IT'S FUNNY WHEN WE SEE THE PRESENTATIONS AND WE SEE THEM IN 2D VERSUS 3D IT'S AN AMAZING DIFFERENCE. SO REALLY LIKE THE 3D PICTURE IS MUCH BETTER. WELL THOUGHT OUT PICK BALL IS YES ONE OF THE FASTEST IT IS I THINK THE FASTEST GROWING SPORT IN THE UNITED STATES. SO HAPPY THAT YOU'RE INCLUDING THAT IN THOSE PLANS. I DO NOT PLAN ON PLAYING PICK UP BALL I DO BELIEVE THAT OUR BIRD PREMIER ALSO HEARD HIMSELF PLAYING PICK UP BALL YOU KNOW. I KNOW IT'S FOR THE OLDER GENERATION BUT I THINK I'LL STICK TO THE GOLF COURSE PROJECT. WELL THOUGHT OUT GOOD COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE PETITIONER AND STAFF. WE ALWAYS ARE THANKFUL FOR THAT AND I WILL VOTE TO APPROVE HER. THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO BE SAID IT'S YOU KNOW IT'S THERE CHARGING STATIONS FOR THE GOLF CARTS AT THE CLUBHOUSE ACTUALLY AND IN THE DESIGN RIGHT NOW WE DO NOT HAVE CHARGING STATIONS PROPOSED. WE'VE ACTUALLY SEPARATED THE GOLF PART GOLF CART PARKING LOT FURTHER AWAY FROM THE CLUBHOUSE AND THAT WAS DONE ON PURPOSE SO WE DIDN'T HAVE THE TWO TRAFFIC COMING TOGETHER AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE DID THAT BUT WE DO NOT HAVE GOLF CART CHARGING STATIONS AND THERE'S A MULTIPLE MULTIPLE ROUTE. THERE'S A DIFFERENT TYPES OF GOLF CART CHARGERS ALSO. OK WELL THAT'S I THINK THAT'S THE BEST PART ABOUT THE WHOLE COMMUNITY IS THE INTERCONNECTIVITY AND PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO GET IN THEIR CARS. I'D RATHER SEE MORE GOLF CART PARKING SPOTS THAN REGULAR. BUT I UNDERSTAND LOGISTICS. I REALLY HAVE NO OTHER COMMENTS. IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT.

THIS IS PART OF THE SHOW. HE'S RIGHT. IS THAT RIGHT FOR. THIS IS ACTUALLY OWNED AND CONSTRUCTED BY THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT SO IT BE OWNED AND OPERATED BY THE CBD NOT AN AGE AWAY. SO WHEN A RESIDENT ANY RESIDENT CAN GO AT ANY TIME THIS HAS ANY RESIDENT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY THE FIRST NINE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE PART OF THIS PROJECT ARE ALLOWED TO GO WITHIN THIS WITHIN THE FACILITY. OKAY. AND I WANT TO JUST ADDRESS ONE THING BECAUSE I DIDN'T IDENTIFY THAT EARLIER THE ACTIVE ADULT COMPONENT WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN THIS. THEY WILL HAVE THEIR OWN CLUBHOUSE SIGNIFICANT SIZED CLUBHOUSE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. HEARING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR. I ONLY OPPOSE. NO. MOTION CARRIES 4 0.

WELL WHAT WE ENVISION IS A MENU OF INCENTIVES THAT PROVIDE A VARIETY OF SOURCES OF INCENTIVIZING WORKFORCE HOUSING. SO THAT COULD BE IN THE FORM OF IMPACT FEE CREDITS OR WAIVERS BUILDING PERMIT FEE CREDITS OR EXPEDITED PERMITTING LAND ACQUISITION PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS. THERE ARE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES THAT STAFF IS AWARE OF CURRENTLY AND HAVE BRAINSTORMED. AND WE ALSO WOULD LIKE THE ADVICE AND OPINION OF A CONSULT A PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANT THAT HAS DEEPER EXPERIENCE IN THESE AREAS AND CAN PROVIDE A CUSTOM TAILORED LIST OF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STAFF TO TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION. AS FAR AS A COMPREHENSIVE WORKFORCE HOUSING PROGRAM AND PLAN I WANT THAT I'LL TURN IT BACK TO CAMERON TOOK OVER THE SCOPE AND THE REST OF THE SO THERE ARE CERTAIN DELIVERABLES THAT THE CONSULTANT WILL HAVE TO ACHIEVE. FIRST AMONG THEM IS TO REVIEW THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INCLUDING NOT INCLUDING THE HOUSING ELEMENT REVIEW THE PROVISIONS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA'S LAWS RELATED TO WORKFORCE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESEARCH AND ANALYZE THE HOUSING MARKET TRENDS IN FLORIDA SPECIFICALLY SOUTH FLORIDA AND PALM BEACH COUNTY. EXAMINER AND REVIEW AFFORDABLE WORKFORCE HOUSING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES OF OTHER ENTITIES OTHER CITIES AND WHAT THEY'VE IMPLEMENTED STRETCH A DEMAND FOR AFFORDABLE AND ATTAINABLE WORKFORCE HOUSING IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND PALM BEACH COUNTY. REVIEW AVAILABLE DATA AND STUDIES IN SOUTH FLORIDA INCLUDING THOSE PERTAINING TO PALM BEACH COUNTY AND ITS CURRENT REGULATIONS. THEY'LL ANALYZE SPECIFICALLY AFFORDABILITY OF HOUSING IN PALM BEACH GARDENS. THERE WERE FEW AVAILABLE PARCELS OF LAND AND CONDUCTED SUITABILITY ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE IDEAL LOCATIONS IN THE CITY FOR WORKFORCE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THEIR WORK WITH CITY STAFF SPECIFICALLY THE PRESIDENT'S OWN DEPARTMENT TO ORGANIZE AND FACILITATE WORKSHOPS SO THAT THEY CAN GET INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY AND RESIDENTS ON THIS PROGRAM. THEY WILL MEET REGULARLY WITH CITY STAKEHOLDERS AND DEVELOP AN ACTIONABLE IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE THAT WILL ASSIST THE CITY WITH ESTABLISHING A WORKFORCE HOUSING PROGRAM AND OF COURSE DURING THE PROCESS THEY MEET REGULARLY WITH CITY STAFF REGARDING UPDATES AND PROGRESS TOWARDS THE PROJECT. AND SO TO GET ALL OF THIS DONE WE HAVE TO ADVERTISE A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. WE DID IN FEBRUARY WHERE WE GOT THREE PROPOSALS FROM THE SELECTION COMMITTEE MET TWICE AND

SO NOW WE'RE GONNA GET INTO ITEMS ITEMS FOR COUNCIL DISCUSSION THE BIGGEST ISSUE

[Item XI A]

[03:30:03]

SECOND IS THE MANAGER ABLE TO RETAIN THESE PEOPLE. AND THIRD WHAT'S THE MANAGER'S VISION AND IS HE OR SHE SUCCESSFUL IN IMPLEMENTING THAT VISION. AND I THINK JUDGED BY THESE METRICS I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE A TRULY EXCEPTIONAL CITY MANAGER.

LOOK AT THE DEDICATED AND TALENTED STAFF THAT WE HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO WORK WITH EVERY DAY AND THE OUTSTANDING DEPARTMENT HEADS THAT LEAD THESE DIVISIONS LOOK AT THE LENGTH OF TENURE OF THE MEMBERS OF THIS EXTRAORDINARY STAFF. LOOK AT THE EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE THAT'S PROVIDED TO OUR RESIDENTS BY OUR POLICE FIRE RECREATION PLANNING AND ZONING CLERK'S OFFICE FINANCE H.R. ENGINEERING AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT I.T. PUBLIC SERVICE AND PUBLIC WORKS PURCHASING AND UNITED SERVICES DEPARTMENTS. AND FINALLY LOOK AT THE WAY THIS COMMUNITY LOOKS AND FEELS AND THE QUALITY OF ALL OF OUR LIFESTYLES. AND YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE WHAT A WELL THOUGHT OUT AND CAREFULLY IMPLEMENTED VISION. OUR CITY MANAGER HAS AND SO I'M PLEASED TO GIVE THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE RATING TO MY FRIEND OUR CITY MANAGER RON FARIS AND TO MAKE A MOTION REQUESTING OUR CITY ATTORNEY AND OUR CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE AN EXTENSION OF OUR CITY MANAGER'S CONTRACT AND BRING THIS CONTRACT BACK TO OUR COUNCIL FOR OUR CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL. AND I'D LIKE A SECOND RIGHT. I HAVE THOSE I HAVE THAT WRITTEN DOWN MYSELF THAT HIS CONTRACT IS SUPPOSED TO END A YEAR FROM NOW AND IT WOULD BE IT WOULD BEHOOVE US TO MAKE SURE SOMETHING IS IN MOTION TO KEEP MR. FERRIS HERE AND EXTEND THE CONTRACT. I DO APPLAUD EVERYTHING THAT MATTHEW SAID I DO AGREE. I KNOW THAT WHEN I'M OUT THERE GIVING STATISTICS ABOUT OUR CITY AND PEOPLE LEARN ABOUT OUR CITY I AM ALWAYS COMPLIMENTED ON PEOPLE HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE CITY AND HOW WONDERFUL IT IS NOT WONDERFUL BUT THAT'S TOO STRONG A TERM HOW WELL IT IS TO DEAL WITH THE CITY AND THE INFORMATION THAT IS SHARED AND THIS IS A FAMILY.

YOU'VE HEARD ME SAY THAT COUNTLESS TIMES. MR. FERRIS IS THE GATEKEEPER HOWEVER HE HAS SURROUNDED HIMSELF WITH PEOPLE THAT DO JUST AS GOOD AS JOB AS HE DOES OR MAYBE EVEN BETTER BECAUSE EVERYTHING I HEAR ABOUT OUR CITY IS POSITIVE AND HARKING BACK TO OUR APPROVAL RATING OF 94 PERCENT AND I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO FOR THAT OTHER 6 PERCENT BUT IT IS DUE TO OUR OUR CITY MANAGER AND OUR EXEMPLARY STAFF AND I IT WOULD BEHOOVE US TO MAKE SURE THAT MR. FERRIS AND THE STAFF THAT WE HAVE HERE THAT HAVE BEEN TENURED HERE FOR A LONG TIME REMAIN HERE AND KEEP THE CITY ON THE TRAJECTORY THAT IT IS NOW. THEY ARE THOUGHTFUL IN WHAT THEY DO THEY ARE THOUGHTFUL IN WHAT THEY BRING TO US. YOU CAN SEE OTHER AGENCIES WHERE THEY HAVE A HIGH TURNOVER OF STAFF AND YOU WONDER WHAT ARE THEY NOT GETTING RIGHT. I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS IS DOING THE RIGHT THING. I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW WE'VE HAD A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS COME FORTH OVER THE

BUT IT CAN WITH THIS I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S AN ORDINANCE OR A RESOLUTION. WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO MANDATE THAT THAT LANE GO IN WITHOUT A VOTE YES OR NO. SO THEY STARTED THE FIRE WITH THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT'S GOING TO BE ON NORTH LAKE BOULEVARD. I'M CONFIDENT THEY'RE ALL GOING TO VOTE YES WHICH WOULD BE REALLY GOOD. BUT IN THE EVENT THEY VOTE NO. WE MIGHT WANT TO REALLY TAKE A HARD LOOK JUST FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY AND HOPEFULLY IT WON'T GO THAT WAY BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU GUYS NEED TO KNOW. SO THANKS REALLY HAVE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO GIVE ME YOUR HIGHLIGHTS HIGHLIGHT. OK. WELL IT WAS A HERE'S MY HIGHLIGHTS. IT WAS ACTUALLY A SHORT MONTHS SINCE I TOOK MY FIRST VACATION IN THREE YEARS AND LEFT THE COUNTRY. BUT THERE WERE SOME SOME INTERESTING THINGS WE DID HAVE THE PALM BEACH COUNTY LEAGUE OF CITIES ANNUAL INSTALLATION LUNCHEON AND I HAVE BEEN REINSTALLED AS A LARGE CITY BOARD MEMBER. HAPPY TO DO THAT. THIS MARTIN CONNECTED REGION'S TASK FORCE HAD THEIR FINAL MEETING TO PUT TOGETHER THE DELIVERABLES FOR THE GRANT THAT WE RECEIVED FROM F.D.A. THAT WAS FACILITY FACILITATED BY THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS AND NOT HATS OFF TO THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS FOR DOING THAT AND DOING IT SO QUICKLY. I WAS A PRESENTER AT THE WOMEN'S CHAMBER FOUNDATION ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP LUNCHEON IN PLACE OF HOPE SITE VISIT TODAY. THEY'RE MY GOSH THEY'RE WONDERFUL GROUNDBREAKING WITH MARK TEMPLE BETH DAVID AND A SHOUT OUT TO MARK AND THE YOUNG SINGERS OF THE PALM BEACHES. WE HAD A WONDERFUL MEMORIAL DAY CELEBRATION. MANY OF OUR STAFF WAS THERE. THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE. STEVE STEPP AND I WERE PROFILED BY LEADERSHIP PALM BEACH COUNTY THIS MONTH. CARL'S MOANING AND GROANING OVER HERE. PALM BEACH NORTH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MEETING ALONG WITH MARC AND GARDENS CUP SPIRIT TEA GARDENS CUP TO BENEFIT THE SPIRIT TEAM WAS LAST WEEKEND.

THANK YOU MARK FOR YOUR SPONSORSHIP. CARL DID YOU PLAY YOU WERE THERE. HE WAS THERE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT WHAT I WANT TO HEAR JIM HIT UP BEHIND ME ON ONE OF THE I'M BUSTING NIGHT. I ALMOST LANDED RIGHT NEXT. SO IT WAS FUN TO BE THERE AND SUPPORT OUR CITY AS THEY CONTINUE WITH THEIR SPIRIT TEAM. I DO WANT TO GIVE A BIG SHOUT OUT TO NATALIE FOR THE MOBILITY PRESENTATION. I KNOW THAT WAS A WE HAD TWO PRESENTATIONS THIS WEEK ONE FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES AND ONE FOR RESIDENTS. MARK WAS THERE EVER SHAW WAS THERE AND IT'S A NEW DIRECTION AND NEW BEGINNING AND I THINK IT'S EXCITING FOR THE CITY ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT'S IT'S IMPORTANT WE TALK ABOUT TRAFFIC AND WE TALK ABOUT FINDING WAYS TO TAKE PEOPLE OFF THE ROADS AND AND BY HAVING A MOBILITY FEE VERSUS AN IMPACT FEE IT'S STILL GOING TO BE PAID FOR BY THE DEVELOPERS BUT IT'S THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE MONEY'S TO STAY HERE IN THE CITY. SO I THINK THAT'S WONDERFUL. AND THEN THERE'S MORE STUFF BUT I'M JUST GOING TO STOP.

MARC LET ME. I DIDN'T DO MIND. I MEAN JUST QUICKLY VERY QUICKLY SOME OF THE EVENTS THAT I ATTENDED DURING THE LAST MONTH INCLUDE MEETING WITH OUR TRAFFIC CONSULTANTS CITY MANAGER AND DIRECTOR OF PNC DISCUSS MOBILITY IN THE GARDENS I ATTENDED THE GRAND OPENING OF THE REALTORS ASSOCIATION OFFICE ATTENDED AMERICAN PRO-ISRAEL PAC DINNER ATTENDED PALM BEACH NORTH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BREAKFAST HONORING OUR EDUCATORS IN PALM BEACH COUNTY ATTEND THE PALM BEACH NORTH LEADERSHIP AWARDS DINNER ATTENDED A BIZ PAC LUNCHEON AND A PGA QUARTER LUNCHEON.

I'M DONE THANKS. HIGHLIGHTS. RIVERSIDE GRADUATION. THAT WAS FUN. LITTLE KIDS GRADUATING TOP SOCCER CLOSING WAS ALWAYS FUN TO SEE THE KIDS THAT DON'T HAVE WHAT WE HAVE TO SEE THE SMILES ON THEIR FACES ALWAYS A LOT OF FUN. LEAGUE OF CITIES INSTALL GALA BIOSCIENCE OVERLAY ADVISORY BOARD. I DID ATTEND THAT THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT COMMITTEE MET SINCE 2016. THERE WAS ACTUALLY SOME DISCUSSION AS TO WHY THE PORT IS EVEN THERE BUT THERE WAS NO FURTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT. SO THAT WAS AS IT WAS. IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT I'VE BEEN APPOINTED TO AND I FINALLY WENT TO ONE OF THOSE EVENTS. THE GOLF COURSE WAS GREAT. THANK YOU TO THE STAFF FOR PUTTING THAT TOGETHER AMONG OTHER THINGS. SO THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT THERE.

LASTLY CITY MANAGER REPORT YOU HAVE A REPORT. CITY ATTORNEY YOU HAVE A REPORT.
