Feb 01, 2024 City Council

[00:00:03]

GET MY GLASSES ON. GOOD EVENING.

IF YOU COULD FIND YOUR SEATS.

I WOULD LIKE TO CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER.

[Call to Order]

COUNCIL MEMBER. TINSLEY HERE.

COUNCIL MEMBER. RUSSO HERE.

COUNCIL MEMBER. MIDDLETON HERE.

THANKS SO MUCH, PATTY. DO WE HAVE ANY ADDITIONS, DELETIONS OR MODIFICATIONS TO OUR AGENDA THIS EVENING? NO, MA'AM. ALL RIGHT. LOVELY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE RIGHT ALONG TO ANNOUNCEMENTS AND PRESENTATIONS.

SO, MAYOR. YES, SIR.

I WANTED TO KIND OF AMEND THE AGENDA A LITTLE BIT TO BRING UP PART OF THE CITY MANAGER'S REPORT ON THE LEGISLATIVE.

YOU'RE GOING TO PREEMPT OUR CITY MANAGER OR THE CITY ATTORNEY.

SORRY, CITY ATTORNEY.

AND THE REASON THERE'S A REASON WHY I WANT TO DO THIS.

BECAUSE IF WE BRING IT TO THE END, NOBODY'S HERE.

NOBODY HAS AN IDEA ON HOW MUCH WORK YOU TWO HAVE DONE THE LAST TWO TIMES.

YOU'VE GONE UP TO TALLAHASSEE TRYING TO REPRESENT THE CITY AND THE PEOPLE AND THE CONTRACTORS.

SO I THOUGHT WE'D.

I'D ASK IF WE COULD BRING IT UP FRONT SO WE CAN HEAR IT, BECAUSE IT DOES DIRECTLY AFFECT THE COMMUNITY AND A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM.

AND, AND I PERSONALLY WANT TO THANK BOTH OF YOU FOR, FOR GOING UP THERE AND MAKING SURE YOU REPRESENT THE CITY WELL.

AND, AND WE CHECKED IN WITH YOU.

WE KNOW YOU DID. OKAY.

SO IF YOU'RE ALL RIGHT WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THAT UP FRONT.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS.

SO. YEAH. THANKS. LET'S HEAR IT.

ALL RIGHT, SO MAX AND I HAVE BEEN GOING UP AND DOWN TO TALLAHASSEE.

[XI. CITY ATTORNEY REPORT]

WE HAVE GOTTEN TO EXPERIENCE STATEWIDE POLICY MAKING AND SEEN BEHIND IT AND SEEN THE FRONT OF IT, GOTTEN TO KNOW A LOT OF LEGISLATORS.

AND IT'S BEEN A PRIVILEGE TO REPRESENT OUR CITY.

WE'RE GOING TO TESTIFY.

WE'VE BEEN GOING TO GO TESTIFY REGARDING THE MOBILITY BILL.

AND SO FAR WE'VE DONE VERY WELL IN THE HOUSE.

IT'S GONE THROUGH ALL OF ITS COMMITTEES AND WILL SOON BE HEARD ON THE FLOOR.

AND WE HAVE ONE MORE COMMITTEE TO GET THROUGH AT THE SENATE.

AND WE'RE VERY, VERY HOPEFUL THAT IT WILL GO ON TO THE FLOOR AS WELL.

IT'S SO FAR SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY IMPECCABLE BILL.

IT PROVIDES CLARITY TO LEGISLATION THAT WAS WRITTEN A LITTLE WHILE AGO REGARDING UTILIZATION OF IMPACT FEES AND MOBILITY FEES, WITH THE PRIMARY GOAL OF MAKING IT SO THAT THOSE WHO WANT TO DEVELOP WITHIN THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS WILL ONLY BE BILLED ONCE, AS OPPOSED TO TWICE LIKE THEY ARE NOW.

SO, MAX, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD TO THAT? I THINK THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I THINK YOU DID A GREAT JOB EXPLAINING IT.

THE COMMITTEES WENT REALLY WELL.

YOUR MAYOR TESTIFIED AT ALL FIVE COMMITTEES.

I ONLY HAD TO TESTIFY AT TWO, SO THAT WAS GOOD.

AND, SO I GOT TO SIT AND WATCH.

THAT WAS ALWAYS GOOD. IF I DON'T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING.

AND, YOU DID A GREAT JOB REPRESENTING THE CITY.

I THINK IT WENT REALLY WELL.

WE DID GET FAVORABLE REFERENCES OUT OF FIVE COMMITTEES.

WE HAVE ONE LEFT TO GO, AS THE MAYOR SAID.

AND THEN WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT THE BILL WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE MOMENTUM.

IT IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.

I'M GLAD THAT THE CITY HAS ALLOWED US TO GO UP THERE.

NOT THAT I REALLY ENJOYED THE TRIP, I ENJOYED I MEAN, I GOT A GREAT TRAVEL COMPANION, BUT IT'S NOT EXACTLY THAT MUCH FUN TO BE UP IN TALLAHASSEE.

IT'S I TOLD MY WIFE, I SAID, IT'S KIND OF, I'VE NEVER BEEN SO EXHAUSTED FEELING LIKE I HAVEN'T DONE THAT MUCH.

BECAUSE YOU'RE UP THERE AND THE ANXIETY LEVEL SOMETIMES IS KIND OF UNBELIEVABLE WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO GO FROM PLACE TO PLACE AND, AND TALK TO LEGISLATORS AND GET PEOPLE TO SUPPORT YOUR BILL.

BUT I HAVE TO GIVE ALSO CREDIT TO SENATOR MARTIN, WHO SPONSORED SENATE BILL 688 FOR US IN THE SENATE.

AND, OF COURSE, REPRESENTATIVE ROBINSON, WHO IS AN ABSOLUTE ROCK STAR WHO FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW HAS SPONSORED THIS BILL, AND IT'S HOUSE BILL FOUR 79IN THE HOUSE.

I MEAN, HE HAS REALLY CARRIED A LOT OF WATER FOR US AND FOR ALL THE CITIES AROUND THE STATE, AND IT'S GOING TO BE VERY BENEFICIAL, ESPECIALLY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY.

I MEAN, IT'S VERY RARE THAT YOU HAVE CITIES AND DEVELOPERS ON THE SAME SIDE OF A BILL.

AND WHAT THIS DOES IS THE MAYOR SAID, WE'LL FIX IT SO THAT NO LONGER IN PALM BEACH COUNTY AND THROUGHOUT THE STATE, WILL DEVELOPERS HAVE TO PAY BOTH A COUNTY IMPACT FEE AND A CITY IMPACT FEE.

THEY'RE GOING TO PAY ONE FEE AND GO ON, AND THEN THE LEGISLATION LEAVES IT TO THE GOVERNMENTS TO FIGHT IT OUT AMONGST THEMSELVES AND COLLABORATE, HOPEFULLY, RATHER THAN FIGHT, BUT FIGHT.

UP UNTIL NOW, IT'S BEEN A STRUGGLE.

BUT HOPEFULLY WITH THIS LEGISLATION, IT WILL TRULY BE COLLABORATIVE AND IT WILL BE, AS THE MAYOR LIKES TO SAY, SHE LOVES TO USE THAT WORD AND IT'S THE TRUTH SO THAT WE CAN COLLABORATE WITH EACH OTHER AND DIVIDE THAT FEE SO THAT THE THE IMPROVEMENTS ACTUALLY GET BUILT AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC.

[00:05:01]

SHE'S DONE A GREAT JOB REPRESENTING YOU GUYS.

IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN GOOD.

WOW. SO THANKS FOR SAYING THAT, BECAUSE THE ABBREVIATED VERSION OF WHAT YOU GUYS SAID, NOBODY KNOWS THAT IT'S GOING TO COULD POSSIBLY AFFECT THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS FOREVER. SO I WANTED IT WAS.

IT'S NOT. IT'S JUST NOT A HASH MARK AT THE END OF THE MEETING.

YOU KNOW, THIS NEEDED TO BE IN THE FOREFRONT.

SO THANKS AGAIN. THANK YOU.

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT WE ARE.

THIS IS A REPRESENTATIONAL DEMOCRACY.

WE ARE THERE FIGHTING FOR THE QUALITY OF LIFE, FOR OUR RESIDENTS AND FOR THEIR WALLETS.

RIGHT. SO ANYTHING THAT GOES THROUGH TWICE TO A DEVELOPER WILL EVENTUALLY FILTER DOWN TO OUR RESIDENTS.

AND THAT IS WHY WE'RE FIGHTING, EXCUSE ME, COLLABORATING SO HARD TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

SO THANK YOU.

IT'S OUR FAVORITE WORD EVERY TIME.

IF YOU GO BACK AND WATCH THE RECORDINGS I THINK WE SAID COLLABORATE 15 TIMES AND WE MEAN IT.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[IV. ANNOUNCEMENTS / PRESENTATIONS]

SO FIRST WE HAVE THE 2023 MAYOR'S VETERANS GOLF CLASSIC CHECK PRESENTATION TO THE WEST PALM BEACH VA RESOURCE CENTER.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO CALL MICHAEL ARNDT, HEAD OF GOLF PROFESSIONALS AT SANDHILL CRANE GOLF COURSE, TO OUR PODIUM.

HELLO. COME ON UP.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

FOR THE RECORD AGAIN, MY NAME IS MICHAEL ARMIT.

I'M THE HEAD GOLF PROFESSIONAL AT THE NEST PAR THREE AT SANDHILL CRANE GOLF CLUB.

AND I'M JUST GOING TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A LITTLE RECAP OF OUR LARGEST ANNUAL CHARITABLE GOLF TOURNAMENT, THE MAYOR'S VETERANS GOLF CLASSIC. SO.

SO THIS IS OUR 17TH YEAR HOSTING THE EVENT, WHERE 100% OF THE PROCEEDS GO TO THE WEST PALM BEACH, VA RESOURCE CENTER TO ASSIST LOCAL VETERANS WHO ARE HOMELESS OR AT RISK OF HOMELESSNESS WITH ESSENTIAL DAILY LIFE NEEDS.

THE TOURNAMENT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS YET AGAIN THIS YEAR, AND ANOTHER SOLD OUT FIELD OF 144 PLAYERS.

WE REALIZED THAT THIS EVENT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF COUNCIL AND ADMINISTRATION.

THE SUPPORT OF OUR SPONSORS, STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS, AND OF COURSE THE PARTICIPANTS WHO PLAYED IN THE EVENT.

BEFORE I CONTINUE, I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE THE VA'S CHIEF OF STAFF, DOCTOR WILLIAMS AND HOMELESS COORDINATOR KAREN ABBOTT, TO SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT HOW THIS TOURNAMENT REALLY IMPACTS THEM IN A POSITIVE WAY.

LIKE SHE'S ON STAR CITY.

OH, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.

MY NAME IS DOCTOR RONALD WILLIAMS, AND I PROUDLY SERVE MY FELLOW VETERANS AND BROTHERS AND SISTERS AS THE CHIEF OF STAFF AT THE VA WEST PALM BEACH, HOSPITAL SYSTEM.

AND YEAR AFTER YEAR, I MUST CONFESS, THE MAYOR'S VETERANS GOLF CLASSIC IS MY FAVORITE EVENT, AND I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING PART OF THIS FOR THE GREAT CAUSE AND TO GIVE A SECOND CHANCE TO OUR AMERICA'S HEROES.

AND I LOVE PLAYING IN IT EVERY YEAR WHEN I'M NOT DEPLOYED.

BUT EVERY DOLLAR I DON'T IS DONATED AND DEVOTED TO MOST OUR MOST VULNERABLE POPULATION, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS OUR HOMELESS VETERANS.

THIS YEAR IS EXTRA SPECIAL AS WE'VE SURPASSED LAST YEAR'S, NUMBER WITH THE LARGEST DONATION AMOUNT.

AGAIN, A GRAND TOTAL OF 79, 79,369 AND $0.20.

WONDERFUL. THAT'S A GREAT THANK YOU.

AND THANK YOU FOR GIVING BACK TO OUR LOCAL AMERICAN HEROES.

THIS LARGE NUMBER LIFTS BARRIERS THAT CAN OTHERWISE HINDER, ACCESS OF RESOURCES FOR OUR VETERANS.

IT ALLOWS THEM TO GET BACK UP ON THEIR FEET AND TRULY BE HAPPY AND HEALTHY AND SUCCESSFUL.

SO THEY ARE RIGHTFULLY DESERVE THIS.

THE SMILES WE SHARE ON THE GOLF COURSE, RAISING FUNDS, AND THE SMILES WE SHARE WITH ONE ANOTHER TODAY AT THIS CEREMONY AND THE SMILES THAT WILL CONTINUE, BUT THIS TIME BY OUR VETERANS, IS WHAT REALLY BRINGS THIS FULL CIRCLE.

THIS WHAT BRINGS US, THE REASON HERE IS BECAUSE OF OUR VETERANS.

ALONGSIDE ME IS KAREN ABBOTT, OUR HOMELESS VETERANS PROGRAM MANAGER.

AS THE SAYING GOES, KAREN'S THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND.

SHE KNOWS FIRSTHAND WHAT AN INCREDIBLE IMPACT THIS IS TO BECOME BECAUSE OF EACH OF YOU HERE TODAY.

AND WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I'D LIKE TO HAND IT OVER TO MISS ABBOTT AND TO SHARE ON THE IMPACT THAT YOU'VE MADE FOR OUR VETERANS.

MISS ABBOTT, THANK YOU.

FIRST, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE HERE.

[00:10:02]

AND I REALLY WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

TO EVERYONE WHO SO GENEROUSLY, DUG INTO THEIR POCKETS AND GAVE SO MUCH TO THE VETERANS THAT WE HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO SERVE.

THIS YEAR IS SO SPECIAL TO ME.

IT'S MY FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN ABLE TO BE A PART OF THIS INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE.

I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE HOMELESS FOR 15 YEARS AT THE WEST PALM, VA, AND EVERYONE WHO WORKS IN MY PROGRAM IS SO DEDICATED AND WILL ALWAYS GOING TO BE SO GRATEFUL.

AND REMEMBER THE KINDNESS THAT YOU'VE SHOWN OUR VETERANS.

I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER AT THE TIME ON THE GOLF COURSE AND HOW MUCH FUN IT WAS AND HOW WONDERFUL IT WAS TO SEE EVERYONE'S KINDNESS AND SELFLESSNESS IN GIVING BACK TO THE VETERANS.

I PROMISE YOU THAT EVERY DOLLAR, EVERY PENNY DONATED WILL GO STRAIGHT TO THE VETERANS.

WE, WE USE THAT MONEY TO HELP VETERANS IN EVERY WAY THAT IS NEEDED, LIKE WITH EMERGENCY HOUSING, WITH UTILITY ASSISTANCE, WITH GIFT CARDS, FOR FOOD, FOR GAS, FOR SHOES, CLOTHING, ITEMS TO GET BACK TO WORK, WHATEVER IS NEEDED FOR OUR VETERANS. AND SO AGAIN, I JUST THANK YOU FOR HELPING US MOVE THE VETERANS FROM TRULY THE STREETS TO PERMANENT HOUSING. AND WE'RE ALSO THERE, OUR TEAM OF SOCIAL WORKERS, TO HELP VETERANS NOT EVER RETURN AGAIN TO BEING HOMELESS ON THE STREETS OR IN THE WOODS, IN THE TENTS, BUT RATHER THAT THEY HAVE A HOME TO CALL THEIR OWN.

AND SO AGAIN, THANKS.

AND WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THIS YEAR THE BEST EVER FOR OUR VETERANS BECAUSE OF YOUR DONATIONS AND GENEROSITY.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

SO BEFORE I CONTINUE OR EXCUSE ME, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO DESERVE A THANK YOU FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND EFFORTS FOR THIS YEAR'S EVENT.

BUT FOR THE SAKE OF TIME, I'LL ONLY MENTION A FEW.

THANK YOU, MICHAEL, AND GOOD EVENING.

PALM BEACH GARDENS RESIDENTS, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

I'M SORRY I COULDN'T BE THERE IN PERSON, BUT I COULDN'T PASS UP THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE YOU ALL AN EXCITING UPDATE ON OUR CHARITY PAR THREE INITIATIVE THAT BEGAN IN FEBRUARY OF 2019. I'M HERE AT OUR BEAUTIFUL 19TH HOLE, ISLAND GREEN AT THE NEST, PAR THREE.

THIS FACILITY OPENED IN AUGUST OF LAST YEAR, AND AS PART OF THE VISION OF THE FACILITY, WE INCORPORATED OUR CHARITY INITIATIVE INTO THE DESIGN.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SHOOTOUT.

WE ASKED PATRONS TO MAKE A $5 CONTRIBUTION AT CHECK IN FOR THE DONATION.

PATRONS ARE ABLE TO PLAY OUR 19TH HOLE AND RECEIVE A POKER CHIP THAT ENTITLES THEM TO A DISCOUNTED CART FEE ONLY ROUND OF GOLF BETWEEN MAY 1ST AND OCTOBER 14TH.

I'M HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT AS OF DECEMBER 31ST, 2023, SINCE ITS INCEPTION, WE'VE DONATED A TOTAL OF $160,460. THANK YOU TO THE COMMUNITY AND THE GOLFERS PARTICIPATING IN THIS DAILY EVENT FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND TREMENDOUS IMPACT YOU'VE HELPED MAKE LOCALLY AND AROUND THE WORLD.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU IN 2024 TO TEE IT UP FOR CHARITY.

[00:20:03]

I THINK THIS IS ALWAYS ONE OF OUR FAVORITE MEETINGS TO HAVE, WHERE WE GET TO REMINISCE ABOUT THAT DAY, AND THEN ALSO SEE ALL THE HAPPY FACES AND THE GOOD THAT WILL BE DONE IN OUR COMMUNITY. SO THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO COMES TO PLAY.

IT'S A IT'S A GREAT DAY.

ALL RIGHT. SO I DO HAVE A COMMENT CARD FOR A FROM THE PUBLIC FOR AN ITEM THAT IS NOT ON THE AGENDA.

[V. COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC]

YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES IF YOU'D BE SO KIND AS TO STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE.

FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

MY NAME IS WAYNE HEDRICK.

I LIVE AT, 101 81 DAHLIA, AND I HOPE I'M AT THE RIGHT VENUE TONIGHT.

I APOLOGIZE IF IT TURNS OUT THAT I CHOSE THE WRONG PLACE TO BE.

THE REASON THAT I'M HERE IS I'M ASKING YOU TO CONSIDER ADDING FOUR STOP SIGNS ON MY STREET.

THE REASON FOR THIS, AND I KNOW I'M PREACHING TO THE CHOIR, IS SPEEDING.

WE SEE IT ON MILITARY TRAIL, NORTH LAKE, YOU NAME IT.

BUT IT'S ALSO HAPPENING IN THE LOCAL STREETS, AND IT'S.

THE POLICE DON'T HAVE TIME TO SIT THERE AND CATCH ONE PERSON AND WRITE A TICKET.

AND NO ONE EVER KNOWS IF THAT'S REALLY HELPED AT ALL.

BUT MY NEIGHBOR ISN'T MUCH DIFFERENT FROM ANYBODY ELSE'S NEIGHBORHOOD.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE MOMS WALKING THEIR CHILDREN STROLLERS.

WE HAVE THE MOTORIZED SCOOTERS NOW THAT TEENAGERS AND YOUNGER KIDS ARE USING.

PEOPLE WALKING THEIR DOGS.

I MEAN, I CAN GO ON AND ON.

YOU SEE IT IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD? I SEE IT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND I'M JUST HOPING THAT A STOP SIGN OR TWO WILL HELP SLOW THEM DOWN.

I HANDED OR I, I CREATED A VERY, ELEMENTARY MAP.

MY CAD PROGRAM WAS BROKEN.

AND, OF COURSE, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE A CAD PROGRAM ANYWAYS, SO I JUST DID IT ON GRAPH PAPER.

BUT ANYWAY, SO I LIVE ON DAHLIA, AND DAHLIA GOES FROM DOGWOOD TO LIGHTHOUSE WITH HOLLY RIGHT IN BETWEEN.

NOW FROM HOLLY TO, LIGHTHOUSE, WHICH IS GOING IN A SOUTHERN DIRECTION.

THERE ARE FOUR STOP SIGNS AND POINT THREE MILE DISTANCE FROM HOLLY TO DOGWOOD, WHICH IS MY SIDE OF, DAHLIA.

EXCUSE ME. SO FROM HOLLY TO DOGWOOD ON DAHLIA, IT'S 0.2 MILES IN DISTANCE, BUT THERE ARE NO STOP SIGNS.

NOW, THE CROSS STREETS HAVE STOP SIGNS, BUT THE MAIN STREET, DAHLIA DOESN'T.

WHERE? ON THE SOUTHERN PART OF DAHLIA, THERE ARE FOUR STOP SIGNS.

SO I'M JUST HOPING THAT I PROPOSE FOUR STOP SIGNS ON MY SIDE OF DAHLIA.

AND I LISTED THEM ON THAT MAP FOR YOU.

AND AND AGAIN, I'M JUST THINKING, CAN YOU CAN CONTINUE.

JUST BRING IT IN FOR A LANDING.

BUT PLEASE CONTINUE. AND I'M JUST HOPING THAT IT'LL SLOW THINGS DOWN.

AND THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

AND IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS.

THANKS. MISTER HEDRICK, WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU COMING.

AND ESPECIALLY FOR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS NOT A DETAILED MAP, BUT IT'S REALLY LOOKS PRETTY DETAILED TO US.

I'M GOING TO ASK MY CITY MANAGER, IF YOU COULD RESPOND.

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN.

I THINK EVERYONE HAS EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH TRAFFIC, ON OUR NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS.

OUR ORDINANCE REQUIRES THAT WE HAVE A STUDY, AND THAT WOULD BE DIRECTED TOWARDS THE CHIEF OF POLICE AND OUR CITY ENGINEER.

THEY WILL BE IN TOUCH WITH YOU.

THEY'LL BE TALKING TO YOU ABOUT THE PROCESS TO GO THROUGH, WHICH THEY WILL EVALUATE, THE NEED FOR STOP SIGNS.

AND THEY'LL BE IN CONTACT WITH YOU SHORTLY, AND WE'LL GO FROM THERE.

LET THEM TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND MEET YOU OUT ON THE STREET.

YOU CAN SHOW THEM EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, AND THEY'LL MAKE AN EVALUATION AND A RECOMMENDATION, MAKE A RECOMMENDATION OF THEIR OWN.

OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY.

APPRECIATE IT. YES, SIR.

THANKS. THANKS FOR COMING.

ONE OF OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS IS YOUR NEIGHBOR OR NEARBY?

[00:25:02]

[VI. CITY MANAGER REPORT]

I HAVE A COUPLE OF ITEMS I'D LIKE TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION AND TO THE ATTENTION OF THE PUBLIC.

SOME FUN THINGS.

RIGHT. FIRST OFF, AS YOU ARE AWARE THAT ON SATURDAY THE 20TH, WE HAD A PUBLIC SAFETY DAY.

THE EVENT WAS ATTENDED BY MORE THAN 2000 PEOPLE.

AND, WE HAD MULTIPLE FIRE AND POLICE, DEMONSTRATIONS GOING ON.

WE HAD MANY ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

PLANNING AND ZONING, HAD A TRAFFIC GARDEN, INTERACTIVE KIDS PLAY.

AND FEATURING JACK THE BIKE MAN.

WE HAD VARIOUS AGENCIES FROM THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY AND ORGANIZATIONS JOIN US IN WHAT WE BELIEVE WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL DAY.

AND JUST TO GIVE YOU A SYNOPSIS AND THE PUBLIC A SYNOPSIS OF HOW THIS WENT, WE HAVE A VIDEO FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT.

WOW. THAT VIDEO WAS PRODUCED AND PUT TOGETHER BY OUR OWN DAVID WILLIAMS. DAVID, STAND UP AND TAKE A BOW.

I THINK THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT.

A LOT OF TALENT OUT THERE.

NEXT, I'D LIKE TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT THIS PAST JANUARY 23RD THROUGH 27, WE HAD A LOT LAS DAMAS, WOMEN'S INTERNATIONAL TENNIS TOURNAMENT.

IT WAS THE SEVENTH ONE.

USTA, TOURNAMENT OF THE LAST GRAND DAMAS.

IT WAS A COMPLETE. THE AGES THAT ARE COMPLETE THAT COMPETED WERE 30 THROUGH 80.

THEY HAD SINGLES AND DOUBLES.

WE HAD 87 PARTICIPANTS REPRESENTING 15 DIFFERENT STATES AND SIX CANADIANS.

MARCIE. SO EVERYONE HAD A GREAT TIME.

THE FIELD CONSISTED OF FOUR INTERNATIONAL, BY THE WAY.

FEDERATION WORLD CHAMPIONS.

SO IT WAS QUITE A TOURNAMENT.

AS YOU CAN SEE. THEY HAD A LOT OF FUN, DURING THE TOURNAMENT.

SO THIS WAS ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL EVENT THAT WENT ON THIS PAST WEEKEND.

THANK YOU. NEXT, I'D LIKE TO CALL TO THE PODIUM, FOR A VERY SPECIAL PRESENTATION.

OUR FIRE CHIEF, KEITH BRIER.

YEAH. GOOD EVENING, MADAM MAYOR.

COUNCIL. SO I JUST WANT YOU GUYS TO KNOW AT THE PUBLIC SAFETY DAY, WE HAD THE.

MY GRANDKIDS WENT THROUGH BOTH OBSTACLE COURSES AND I ASKED THEM WHICH ONE THEY LIKED BETTER, POLICE OR FIRE.

AND THEY ALL SAID POLICE.

SO THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE DECENCY TO LIE TO ME.

SO THEY'RE LOOKING FOR A NEW GRANDFATHER.

SO THIS EVENING, WHAT I WANTED TO DO IS RECENTLY, BACK IN SEPTEMBER, WE HAD OUR ISO VISIT, AND I WANT TO JUST TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT AND WHAT ISO IS AND WHERE WE ARE. SO ISO IS REALLY JUST AN INSURANCE ADVISORY ORGANIZATION, AND IT PROVIDES STATISTICAL AND ACTUARIAL INFORMATION TO INSURANCE COMPANIES.

MOST OF THAT INFORMATION ON THE ACTUARIAL SIDE IS INCLUDES THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, PUBLIC PROTECTION CLASSIFICATION OR WHAT WE CALL A PPC. AND THAT'S ASSIGNED BY THE ISO.

AND IT RANGES FROM A CLASS ONE FOR CLASS TEN.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, A CLASS ONE REPRESENTS SUPERIOR OR SUPERIOR PROPERTY IN FIRE PROTECTION, WHEREAS A CLASS TEN DOESN'T EVEN MEET THE STANDARDS.

SO TRADITIONALLY IN THE PAST WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT.

BUT YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN A THREE AND THEN WE WERE TWO.

SO YOUR PUBLIC PROTECTION CLASSIFICATIONS ARE BASED ON A COUPLE OF THINGS.

NUMBER ONE, EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS.

THAT'S DISPATCH FIRE DEPARTMENT OPERATIONS.

THAT'S OUR TRAINING. HOW MANY PEOPLE TRAIN THE TYPE OF TRAINING THAT WE DO.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE WHICH INCLUDES RESPONSE TIMES, HOW MANY APPARATUS WE GET THERE, HOW MANY PERSONNEL ARE THERE, AND THE TESTING AND MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT.

[00:30:04]

WATER SUPPLY FOR FIRE HYDRANTS AND THEN COMMUNITY RISK REDUCTION FOR COMMUNITY EDUCATION.

SO INSURANCE COMPANIES USE THIS PPC CLASS SELF-ESTABLISHED FAIR PREMIUMS FOR FIRE INSURANCE AND GENERALLY OFFERING LOWER PREMIUMS TO COMMUNITIES WHO HAVE LOWER PCS. JUST A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND.

ISO TYPICALLY EVALUATES EVERY 4 TO 5 YEARS.

THE LAST TIME THEY WERE HERE WAS IN 2019, WHERE WE WERE UPGRADED FROM A CLASS THREE TO A CLASS TWO, AND IN SEPTEMBER THEY WERE HERE.

AND WE JUST FOUND OUT RECENTLY, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, THAT WE WERE UPGRADED TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF A CLASS ONE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

THAT WILL TAKE OFFICIAL EFFECT MAY 1ST.

IT GIVES THEM TIME TO NOTIFY THE INSURANCE COMPANIES FOR THEIR INSURANCE RATES.

SO JUST TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT.

SO OF THE 38,195 FIRE DEPARTMENTS HAVE RECEIVED A PPC, THERE WAS ONLY 498 OR 1.3% OF THOSE FIRE DEPARTMENTS COUNTRYWIDE THAT ARE ISO CLASS ONE RATED.

SO I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS SLIDE, BECAUSE WE TALK ABOUT THIS ALL THE TIME.

BUT I DON'T THINK WE REALIZE THAT WE'RE INTERNATIONALLY ACCREDITED.

SO WE ARE 1 IN 312 DEPARTMENTS INTERNATIONALLY THAT'S ACCREDITED.

BUT TO PUT THAT IN PERSPECTIVE, THERE ARE 27,000 FIRE DEPARTMENTS IN THE US ALONE.

SO WE'RE TALKING INTERNATIONALLY.

WE'RE ALSO ONE OF 182 AGENCIES THAT HAS THE EMS ACCREDITATION.

AND WE HAVE WE ARE ACTUALLY ONLY ONE OUT OF 13 AGENCIES THAT ARE BOTH DULY ACCREDITED AND CLASS ONE IN THE WHOLE UNITED STATES. SO WE'RE EXTREMELY PROUD OF THAT.

BUT I WOULD I'D LIKE TO DO IS IS JUST HAVE MY IF I COULD MY COMMAND STAFF WHO MADE THIS ALL POSSIBLE JUST KIND OF STAND AND GET RECOGNIZED FOR ALL THEIR WORK.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? CAN I CAN I ASK ONE QUESTION? SURE. YOU GUYS ARE SO SKILLED IN ALL OF THOSE CATEGORIES THAT YOU DO.

SO WHAT WAS THE IMPROVEMENT FROM A 2 TO 1? BECAUSE I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT ALL THE TRAINING YOU DO.

IT'S GOT TO BE SOME ANCILLARY STUFF THAT WE DON'T SEE.

BECAUSE EVERYTHING I'VE SEEN ON THAT CHART, YOU GUYS ARE FULL BORE ON THAT 24 SEVEN.

SO WHY WHAT WAS THE UPGRADE THAT MADE US EVEN TO THE TOP OF THE TIER THERE? IT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

I THINK WITH THE THE WE HAVE NOW A LITTLE EXTRA PERSONNEL RIGHT BEFORE WE MOVE INTO STATION SIX.

BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF A MOVING TARGET.

AND LAST YEAR THE LAST TIME WE GOT EVALUATED WE MISSED AN ISO ONE BY FOUR POINTS.

SO WHEN YOU HAVE A VERY COMPETITIVE COMMAND STAFF, THEIR WHOLE THING WAS WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN BY NEXT TIME.

AND THEY CERTAINLY DID THAT.

SO CONGRATULATIONS. THAT'S FANTASTIC.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

MAKE SURE YOU RUB THIS IN THE COPS FACE.

YEAH. YOU GOT TO GET ONE UP ON THEM SOONER OR LATER.

WE WOULD NEVER THINK OF DOING THAT.

YES YOU WOULD.

THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT WE HAVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.

[VII. CONSENT AGENDA]

BEFORE I DID WANT TO JUST MENTION REGARDING OUR CONSENT AGENDA, WE DO.

WE DO HAVE ONE ITEM I AM NOT PULLING AT, BUT IT IS A PURCHASE AWARD, WHICH WOULD BE, AMENDMENT D REGARDING THE PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT FOR, AN INDOOR TRAINING FACILITY, WHICH IS OUR TRUSTEE FACILITY.

SO SINCE IT DIDN'T GET PULLED, WE WON'T BE DOING A PRESENTATION OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

BUT FROM OUR COUNCIL, FROM OUR STAFF, FROM OUR CITY MANAGER, OUR CITY ATTORNEY, I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO ANNA CHRISTIE, ERIC TRUSTEE AND SHANE RYE.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR COMING TO COUNCIL TONIGHT, AND ESPECIALLY FOR EVERYTHING THAT THIS EXTRAORDINARY PARTNERSHIP BRINGS TO OUR CITY, TO EVERY ATHLETE, AND JUST HONESTLY TO OUR ECONOMY AS WELL.

IT IS IT HAS FELT WIDE AND FAR RIGHT HERE IN OUR CITY WHAT YOU'VE DONE.

SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE EXPANSION.

AND WE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING.

YOU KNOW, AT ONE SECOND, YEAH, I'M GOING TO STOP RUNNING MY MOUTH, BUT I GO UP TO THE THE GYM AT DONALD ROSS AND THE TRAIL.

THERE'S A LOT OF BASEBALL PLAYERS IN THERE THIS TIME.

AND YOU KNOW, YOU HEAR THEM TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY'RE GOING TO SPRING TRAINING, THEY'RE GOING TO ARIZONA.

AND YOU KNOW, THEIR THEIR THEIR KIDS ARE NOT KIDS.

THEY'RE TRYING TO BE PITCHERS.

AND, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE SAYING ANYWAY, SO I HEAR IT IN THE COMMUNITY, A LOT OF THESE KIDS ARE IN THE GYM ABOUT, FIRST OFF, HOW HARD IT IS TO GET IN THERE.

[00:35:01]

SO, YOU'RE OUT THERE AND WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND SORRY, I, I WASN'T GOING TO INTERRUPT, BUT I JUST WANTED TO.

SO HE DOESN'T USUALLY TALK THAT MUCH, SO HE MUST I MEAN, IT'S REALLY MEANING IT.

I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THIS IS REAL OR NOT.

YEAH. THAT'S TRUE.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. SO NOTHING WAS PULLED.

SO MAY I GET A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE OUR CONSENT AGENDA THIS EVENING? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE MARCIE AND SECOND.

BURT. ALL RIGHT, ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO OUR PUBLIC HEARINGS.

IF OUR CLERK COULD PLEASE READ THE TITLE ORDINANCE TWO 2024 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE CITY OF PALM BEACH

[VIII.b. ORDINANCE 2, 2024 – (1ST READING) BUDGET AMENDMENT. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS’ BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2023, AND ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2024, INCLUSIVE; PROVIDING A CONFLICTS CLAUSE, A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, AND AUTHORITY TO CODIFY; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.]

THANK YOU SO MUCH, PATTY. LET'S OPEN THE HEARING.

WE HAVE ARIANE PANCAKE HERE AT OUR PODIUM.

THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

FOR THE RECORD, MADAM MAYOR COUNCIL, MY NAME IS ARIANE PANCAKE.

[00:40:02]

TONIGHT WE HAVE OUR ANNUAL CARRYFORWARD BUDGET AMENDMENT WHERE WE REAPPROPRIATE THE BALANCES ON OUR PURCHASE ORDERS AND WE CARRY THE UNCOMPLETED BALANCES ON OUR UNSPENT PROJECT BALANCES FROM FISCAL YEAR 23 INTO OUR CURRENT YEAR.

IT'S ALSO WHEN WE ADJUST OUR BEGINNING FUND BALANCES TO THE ACTUALS FOR THE ENDING YEAR OF FISCAL 23.

AND TONIGHT, WE'LL HAVE A FEW OTHER ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE'LL GET INTO GREATER DETAIL IN SOME LATER SLIDES.

SO AS FAR AS THE TOTAL FOR PURCHASE ORDERS AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS GO THAT ARE BEING CARRIED FORWARD, PURCHASE ORDERS TOTAL ROUGHLY 27.9 MILLION, AND UNSPENT BALANCES ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS TOTALED 19.8, FOR A TOTAL OF 47.8 MILLION BEING CARRIED INTO THE NEW YEAR.

THIS SLIDE PROVIDES A BREAKDOWN OF THE MORE SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING CARRIED FORWARD INTO THE CURRENT YEAR.

YOU'LL NOTE THE THREE LARGEST PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING CARRIED INCLUDE THE BURNS ROAD COMMUNITY CENTER PROJECT THAT HAS 19.3 MILLION.

THE GARDENS BRIDGE WIDENING PROJECT AT 7.9, AND THE FIRE STATION SIX AT 5.6 MILLION.

SO MOVING ON TO THE OTHER REQUESTED ADJUSTMENTS, WE ARE PROPOSING A REQUEST FOR 1.9 MILLION FOR THE POLICE EXPANSION PROJECT DUE TO INCREASED COST IN MATERIAL AND LABOR.

A STAFF DOES INTEND TO EXPEDIATE THIS PROJECT AS FAST AS POSSIBLE TO AVOID ANY FUTURE INCREASES.

ADDITIONALLY, WE ARE REQUESTING 1,056,000 TO ACCELERATE THE REPLACEMENT OF TWO EXISTING BURNS ROAD COMMUNITY CENTER ROOFS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY SLATED FOR REPLACEMENT IN A FEW YEARS OUT.

IT IS STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION TO REPLACE THE REMAINING ROOFS DUE TO THEIR CURRENT CONDITIONS.

BY ACCELERATING THIS PROJECT, IT WILL ENSURE THAT THOSE ROOFS ARE BROUGHT UP TO CODE.

IT WILL PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE EDGE TO EDGE WARRANTY FOR THE NEXT 30 YEARS, AND IT WILL ALSO AVOID ANY FUTURE DISRUPTIONS OF THE FACILITY SINCE WE'RE CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. AND FINALLY.

OH, SORRY. WENT TOO FAST.

THERE WE GO. AND FINALLY, WE ARE PROPOSING A REQUEST FOR 330,000 FOR CONTRACTUAL INCREASES IN OUR LANDSCAPE CONTRACT.

THIS IS DUE TO INFLATIONARY TRENDS THAT WE'RE SEEING ON SERVICES AND THE ADDITION OF NEW SERVICE AREAS, SUCH AS THE NEST.

THE CONTRACT WAS FINALIZED AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE BUDGET, AND WE WERE NOT ABLE TO MAKE THE NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS.

NOW, MOVING ON TO THE LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THE ANALYSIS OF OUR GENERAL FUND RESERVES.

SO WE HAD A BEGINNING FUND BALANCE IN BUDGET STABILIZATION OF 3.5 MILLION.

AFTER WE CLOSE THE BOOKS OUT FROM LAST YEAR, WE INCREASED THE RESERVES OF 6.3 MILLION THAT WE'RE ABLE TO ADD BACK.

THIS IS LARGELY DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANT INCREASE THAT WE'VE SEEN IN OUR BUILDING PERMIT REVENUES AND MS TRANSPORT FEES.

WE HAVE A FEW ALLOCATIONS FROM THE BUDGET STABILIZATION FOR VARIOUS PROJECTS AND CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS TOTALING 3.2 MILLION.

AND AFTER ALL THOSE ADJUSTMENTS, IT WILL LEAVE AN ENDING FUND BALANCE IN BUDGET STABILIZATION OF 6.6 MILLION.

THIS IS A CONSERVATIVE FIGURE THAT WILL PROVIDE A BUFFER TO BALANCE THE BUDGET IN THE COMING YEAR.

OUR PROJECTION MODEL DOES ANTICIPATE THAT WE WILL HAVE A DRAWDOWN NEXT YEAR.

WE ALSO HAVE THE FUTURE OBLIGATION TO BUILD AN INDOOR RECREATION FACILITY OVER AT OUR NORTH COUNTY DISTRICT PARK, WITH ONLY HALF OF THE ESTIMATED FUNDING CURRENTLY BUDGETED.

IF BOTH OF THOSE ITEMS DO COME TO FRUITION, IT WOULD LOWER THAT BUDGET STABILIZATION FUND DOWN EVEN MORE SO.

SO AS FAR AS OUR UNASSIGNED RESERVES REMAIN FLAT AT 26 MILLION, THIS IS 20% OF OUR CURRENT YEAR EXPENDITURES IN IS 17 WITHIN 17% OF OUR CURRENT POLICY.

STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE TWO 2024 ON FIRST READING.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. ARIANE ANYONE SPEAKING.

NO, I DO NOT HAVE ANY COMMENT CARDS, SO I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE HEARING.

MAY I GET A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE ORDINANCE TWO 2024? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE TWO 2024 FIRST READING.

SECOND. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. ANYONE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION, QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR OTHERWISE? IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE.

YEAH. THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS MAKING EVERYTHING SO CLEAR AND TRANSPARENT.

IT MAKES IT REALLY EASY TO PROCESS AND UNDERSTAND WHERE EVERYTHING IS GOING.

WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE SEE THIS EVERY YEAR AND IT WAS MORE CLEAR THAN EVER AGAIN.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SO ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ALL RIGHT. MOVING ALONG TO ORDINANCE THREE AND ORDINANCE FOUR.

[VIII.c. ORDINANCE 3, 2024 – (1ST READING) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA, ADOPTING A LARGE-SCALE AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND-USE MAP IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANDATES SET FORTH IN CHAPTER 163, FLORIDA STATUTES, SPECIFICALLY SECTION 163.3184, ET SEQ., FLORIDA STATUTES, PURSUANT TO APPLICATION NO.

THE CITY CLERK WILL READ THE TITLES SEPARATELY, AND EACH ORDINANCE WILL BE VOTED ON SEPARATELY.

[00:45:03]

SO LET'S HAVE THE CLERK READ THE TITLE, AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK FOR EX PARTE ORDINANCE THREE 2024, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA, ADOPTING A LARGE SCALE AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE MAP IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANDATES SET FORTH IN CHAPTER 163 FLORIDA STATUTES, SPECIFICALLY SECTION 163 .3184 AT SIX FLORIDA STATUTES PURSUANT TO APPLICATION NUMBER CPMA.

PROVIDING THAT THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS BE AMENDED ACCORDINGLY, PROVIDING A CONFLICT CLAUSE, A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, AND AUTHORITY TO CODIFY, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE FOR THE PURPOSES.

THANK YOU. PATTY. ALL RIGHT.

LET'S OPEN THE HEARING AND WE'LL START WITH EX PARTE MARCIE.

I DO HAVE EXPERTISE.

I SPOKE WITH KEN TUMA, BOB SCHAEFER, WHO IS A RESIDENT FROM PALOMA.

AND, I DID HAVE SEVERAL EMAILS IN REGARDS TO THIS SUBJECT.

THANK YOU. BERT, I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY, BUT I WANT TO CLARIFY WHAT OUR CITY ATTORNEY BEING ON THE BLAB BOARD, WE DISSOLVE THAT BOARD ON THE 22ND OF JANUARY IN OUR MEETING.

BUT I DIDN'T HAVE A PRESENTATION OR WE DIDN'T REALLY LOOK AT THE PROJECT.

SO I DON'T THINK I HAVE AN EX PARTE TO DECLARE, BUT I JUST WANT TO BE OFFICIAL ON THAT.

NO, I THINK YOU'RE I THINK YOU'RE FINE.

AND YOU GUYS ACTUALLY AUTHORIZED THE EXECUTION OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT TO THAT ESTABLISH BLAB THAT WILL DISESTABLISH IT RETROACTIVELY EFFECTIVE JANUARY 22ND. CORRECT.

OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. DANA.

I DID SPEAK TO KEN TUMA AND I RECEIVED SEVERAL EMAILS AS WELL.

THANK YOU. CARL OTHER THAN EMAILS.

ALL RIGHT. SAME SAME FOR MYSELF EMAILS.

AND LET'S GO AHEAD.

WE'LL START WITH A PRESENTATION.

WE'LL HAVE KEN TUMA FROM URBAN DESIGN STUDIO COME TO OUR PODIUM, PLEASE, SIR.

AND BY THE WAY, PATTY, THAT WAS ALMOST LONG ENOUGH FOR YOU TO RECORD IT.

ALMOST. ALL RIGHT.

THANKS, KEN. THANK YOU.

GOOD. GOOD EVENING, KEN TUMA WITH URBAN DESIGN.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME THIS EVENING.

WHAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU THIS EVENING IS A LAND USE CHANGE AND A REZONING, THOUGH I AM GOING TO SPEND A PORTION OF MY TIME GOING OVER THE SITE PLAN BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT REALLY PULLS EVERYTHING TOGETHER.

BUT THAT'S NOT IN FRONT OF YOU UNTIL THE ADOPTION OF THESE FIRST TWO ITEMS. SO THIS ORDINANCE THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU THIS EVENING, AGAIN, IS ONLY THE LAND USE CHANGE AND THE REZONING.

THE OTHER TWO AMENDMENTS, WHICH IS A PKD AMENDMENT AND A SITE PLAN, WILL COME BACK TO YOU IF YOU SO TRANSMIT US TONIGHT, IT WILL COME BACK AT ADOPTION.

AND AT THAT POINT THOSE TWO WOULD BECOME EFFECTIVE.

SO THE SUBJECT SITE IS KNOWN AS PARCEL 3104.

IT WAS PURCHASED BY MR. GUARDIOLA'S COMPANY VISTA.

MR. GUARDIOLA IS IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY.

HE'S AN APARTMENT DEVELOPER.

HE'S DEVELOPED PROBABLY OVER 5000 APARTMENTS.

HE'S BASED IN ATLANTA BUT LIVES HERE IN PALM BEACH COUNTY.

MANY OF YOU MAY KNOW HIS BROTHER RICHARD, WHO HAS PASSED AWAY, WHO WAS THE DEVELOPER OF ABACOA.

MR. GUARDIOLA IS WELL KNOWN IN THE COMMUNITY.

HE HAS PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY FROM THE OWNER WHO HAD OWNED IT FOR MANY YEARS.

AT THIS PARCEL IS KNOWN AS CIMARRON COVE.

IT WAS APPROVED BACK IN 2006.

IN FACT, I STOOD RIGHT HERE IN 2000, AUGUST OF 2006 AND DID THE APPROVAL FOR THIS SITE.

IT WAS APPROVED AS A 50.58 PARCEL OF LAND.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE GREAT RECESSION HIT AND THINGS CHANGED.

IN 2010, IT WAS MODIFIED TO LATITUDES IN THE GARDENS AND IT WAS APPROVED FOR COMMERCIAL.

AND IN 2014 THE COUPÉ, WHICH WAS AN APARTMENT COMPLEX TO THE SOUTH, IS BUILT AT THIS SITE.

LOCATED. LOCATED HERE ADJACENT TO I-95 AND ON THE EAST SIDE OF CENTRAL BOULEVARD.

AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THIS, WHICH I'LL SPEND A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT, IS THE COMMERCIAL COMPONENT.

OUR REQUEST THIS EVENING IS TO MODIFY THAT COMMERCIAL COMPONENT AND ALLOW IT TO GO TO RESIDENTIAL.

THE COMMERCIAL COMPONENT IS VERY SIGNIFICANT.

IT WAS 215,000FT² OF NON RESIDENTIAL ON THE SUBJECT SITE.

THERE ARE FOUR PARTS OF THIS REQUEST.

THERE ARE ONLY TWO IN FRONT OF YOU FOR YOUR FOR THIS EVENING.

BUT TO GIVE YOU A FLAVOR OF EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE AMENDMENT TO MODIFY IT FROM TODAY FROM MIXED USE TO RESIDENTIAL HIGH IT.

ALSO I'M NOT SURE HOW TO HANDLE THE PRELIMINARY LAB BOARD, BUT IT ALSO IS A REMOVAL FROM THE BLOB AT THE TIME, A REZONING OF THE SITE ALSO IN FRONT OF YOU THIS EVENING, FROM MIXED USE TO RESIDENTIAL HIGH, ULTIMATELY MODIFYING A PCD MASTER PLAN TO REMOVE THE 215,000FT² OF NON RESIDENTIAL, TO ALLOW IT TO

[00:50:03]

SO THE FIRST ITEM THAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY IS A MODIFICATION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ITSELF.

TODAY YOU SEE THE AREA STRIKETHROUGH WITH THE WORD MIXED.

THE REQUEST THIS EVENING IS TO CHANGE THAT PARCEL OF LAND, THAT 50.5 ACRE PARCEL OF LAND TO RESIDENTIAL HIGH, AND THEN TO ALSO REMOVE IT FROM THE B RPO. THE NEXT ITEM THAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU THIS EVENING IS A REQUEST TO REMOVE THE SITE FROM MIXED USE ZONING DESIGNATION.

IT'S CURRENTLY A PCD SLASH MIXED USE TO GO TO A RESIDENTIAL HIGH ZONING DESIGNATION AND ULTIMATELY MODIFY THE PCD MASTER PLAN, WHICH WILL BE ON THE NEXT HEARING.

THE PROPOSED DESIGNATION WILL BE PCD SLASH RH.

SO THIS IS THE PROPOSED PCD AMENDMENT.

AGAIN, NOT IN FRONT OF YOU THIS EVENING, BUT WHAT WILL BE COMING IN FOR YOU, IN FRONT OF YOU IN THE FUTURE IS TO REMOVE THAT 215,000FT² OF NON RESIDENTIAL SPACE AND ALLOW IT TO BE REPLACED WITH 221 APARTMENTS.

SO WHAT WAS APPROVED? AND I WANT TO SPEND SOME TIME ON THIS.

AND WE'VE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS WITH OUR NEIGHBORS.

AND YOU'LL SEE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS THAT WE'VE WORKED DILIGENTLY WITH PALOMA.

BUT IN THE BIG PICTURE THINGS, THIS PROJECT WAS APPROVED FOR 341 UNITS.

ITS TRAFFIC CAPACITY HAS BEEN RESERVED SINCE 2006 FOR 15,000FT² OF RESTAURANT, RESTAURANT, AND JUST FOR A FRAME OF REFERENCE FRAME OF REFERENCE A 15,000 SQUARE FOOT RESTAURANT IS A YARD HOUSE PLUS AN OLIVE GARDEN.

SO A VERY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RESTAURANT SPACE, 60,000FT² OF PROFESSIONAL OFFICE, 60,000FT² OF MEDICAL OFFICE.

SO A TOTAL OF 120,000FT² OF OFFICE.

I KNOW YOU'VE ALL HEARD ME USE THIS BUILDING AS AN EXAMPLE BEFORE, BUT THE NOVA SOUTHEASTERN BUILDING, IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE BUILDINGS IN THE CITY.

IT'S FOUR STORIES AND IT'S IN ITS 75,000FT², SO IT'LL BE MORE SIGNIFICANT THAN THAT BUILDING.

IT'S ALSO APPROVED FOR 35,000FT² OF COMMERCIAL, A 10,000 SQUARE FOOT BANK WITH A DRIVE THROUGH 15,000FT² OF DRUGSTORE, WHICH IS A WALGREENS OR CVS STANDARD SIZE AND A 20,000 SQUARE FOOT HEALTH CLUB.

SO THAT'S WHAT THE SITE IS ENTITLED TO TODAY.

THE REQUEST, THOUGH, IS TO BRING IT TO 221 RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN A THREE AND THREE AND FOUR STAR, THREE AND FOUR STORY STYLE DEVELOPMENT.

JUST TO GIVE YOU A BEGINNING FLAVOR OF WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE, YOU CAN GET AN IDEA IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER.

BUT THE MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT MODIFIES THE NORTH HALF OF THE PARCEL TO ALLOW IT TO BECOME 221 DWELLING UNITS.

THE LAKES ARE EXISTING TODAY, THE ROAD ACCESS IS EXISTING TODAY, AND THE.

AND THIS IS JUST A QUICK LOOK AT WHAT THE BUILDING WILL LOOK LIKE.

SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? MR. HAGAN IS IN THE OFFICE IN THE AUDIENCE.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR A TRAFFIC STANDPOINT? EVERY TRAFFIC STUDY SINCE 2006 RELIED ON THE APPROVED TRAFFIC ON THIS SITE, SO EVERY TRAFFIC STUDY RELIED ON THE APPROVED TRAFFIC.

THIS HAS BEEN VESTED FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

THE TO THE THE TOTAL CHANGE IDENTIFIED IN THE BOTTOM.

THE NET EXTERNAL TRIPS ARE 82% DECREASE FROM WHAT COULD BE THERE.

WHAT'S ALLOWED TODAY SO SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN TRAFFIC.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT ITEM TO KEEP IN MIND IS VICTORIA FALLS BOULEVARD.

VICTORIA FALLS BOULEVARD DURING THE COURSE OF HISTORY MANY YEARS AGO WAS ON SOMETHING CALLED THE LINKAGE PLAN.

IT WAS AN IMPORTANT ROAD TO CONNECT CENTRAL CENTRAL ROAD, CENTRAL BOULEVARD THROUGH ALL THE WAY TO MILITARY TRAIL.

IT WAS PART OF THE DESIGN OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS.

THAT IS NOT A PRIVATE ROADWAY.

IT'S A PUBLIC ROADWAY TO ACCESS BY ALL.

SO THIS IS A SITE AGAIN APPROVED.

WE'RE REQUESTING TO BE APPROVED FOR THREE AND FOUR STOREY BUILDINGS, WHICH IS UNIQUE ABOUT IT.

IT HAS AN INTERNALIZED PARKING GARAGE WHICH IS WRAPPED BY UNITS.

AND I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH IN DETAIL ON THAT IN A FEW MINUTES.

SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RECREATION FACILITIES ARE ALSO 10% OF THE UNITS.

ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS, MR. GUARDIOLA IS DOING VOLUNTARILY DEDICATING 10% OF THE UNITS TO WORKFORCE HOUSING.

THAT WOULD MEAN THAT 22 UNITS ARE GOING TO BE WORKFORCE HOUSING IN THIS SITE.

THE SITE PLAN ITSELF.

LET ME WALK THROUGH THIS REAL QUICK.

SO CENTRAL BOULEVARD IS LOCATED HERE, VICTORIA FALLS ON THE NORTH.

HERE YOU CAN SEE THE APARTMENT COMPLEX WRAPPING AN INTERNAL PARKING GARAGE.

AND I'LL SHOW YOU THAT IN MORE DETAIL.

THAT INTERNAL PARKING GARAGE IS THREE FLOORS.

THE BUILDING ITSELF IS FOUR FLOORS, SO YOU WILL NEVER SEE A CAR OR A LIGHT FROM THAT PARKING GARAGE.

IT DOES HAVE OPEN AIR ON ONE SIDE TO ALLOW FOR ALLOW FOR AIR MOVEMENT THROUGH THE FACILITY.

THIS IS A CLUBHOUSE.

IT'S A TWO STORY CLUBHOUSE.

YOU'LL NOTICE THE POOL HERE BEHIND THE CLUBHOUSE.

AND THEN THE BUILDING ITSELF, ALL CONNECTED, ALLOWS FOR 221 UNITS.

IT'S A MIX OF THREE AND FOUR STORIES.

AN IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE, THE THREE STORIES.

WE SPENT SOME TIME LOOKING AT IT AND TURNED IT OVER HERE TO THE EAST TO BE RESPECTFUL TO OUR NEIGHBORS IN PALOMA.

[00:55:03]

THERE ARE NO WAIVERS ON THIS PROJECT, AND WE ALSO DID A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PRESERVE ON THIS SITE.

AND I'M GOING TO WALK YOU THROUGH TO SOME MORE DETAIL, BUT I KNOW MANY YOU'VE LIVED IN THE AREA, OBVIOUSLY ALONG CENTRAL BOULEVARD.

THERE WAS A UPLAND PRESERVE THERE FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

THERE WAS A FIRE THERE PROBABLY ABOUT FIVE, SEVEN YEARS AGO, BASICALLY TOOK DOWN MOST OF THAT PRESERVE AREA, WORKING WITH YOUR STAFF.

YOUR STAFF SAID, HEY, WHY NOT MOVE THE BUILDINGS A LITTLE CLOSER TO CENTRAL AND THEN CREATE A LARGER BUFFER ALONG ELM AVENUE TO GIVE MORE PROTECTION TO THE RESIDENTS OF PALOMA. AND I'LL SHOW YOU ON A SLIDE.

BUT THAT SETBACK TODAY IS 15FT.

WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS BETWEEN 80 AND 103FT.

SO A LITTLE EVOLUTION OF THE SITE PLAN ITSELF AS WE WORK OUR WAY THROUGH.

THIS WAS THE FIRST SITE PLAN THAT WE CAME IN WITH SURFACE PARKING ADJACENT TO ELM AVENUE.

WE HAD A SMALL PARKING GARAGE IN A NORTHEAST CORNER AND TWO BUILDINGS RIGHT HERE LOCATED ON THE SITE.

WE HAD ACCESS OFF OF VICTORIA FALLS BOULEVARD OFF THE KEY OFF CENTRAL BOULEVARD.

WE ELIMINATED THE ACCESS THAT'S ALLOWED OFF OF ELM AVENUE.

WE INITIALLY CAME IN WITH THE CODE MINIMUM 15 FOOT BUFFER AND THEN DESIGN YOUR ASSESSMENT.

NOT REALLY A GOOD IDEA.

KEEP KEEP WORKING.

SO WE KEPT WORKING THROUGH THIS.

AND SO WE GOT TO HERE.

THIS WAS THE EVOLUTION IN JULY OF 2022.

AND THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHER PLANS IN BETWEEN.

I'M JUST KIND OF GOING OVER THE BIG ONES.

JULY OF 2022, WORKING THROUGH THE BUILDING AGAIN.

WE HAD SURFACE PARKING, JUST KIND OF THINKING OUR WAY THROUGH IT.

AND I GIVE YOUR STAFF, BUT ALSO ADD A LOT OF THOUGHT BECAUSE HE REALIZED WHEN HE WENT OUT THERE, WE WENT OUT THERE AND HE SAID, YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT, THIS SHOULDN'T BE A 15 FOOT BUFFER HERE. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

SO AFTER WE WALKED THE SITE, IT WAS FAIRLY EASY TO CONVINCE HIM THAT THAT WE WERE GOING TO DO A BUFFER.

SO IN MAY OF 2023, WE DID A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE, A GOOD SUGGESTIONS.

WE SHIFTED THE BUILDINGS TO CLOSER TO CENTRAL BOULEVARD, ADDED A PARKING GARAGE AND INTERNAL PARKING GARAGE, CREATED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GREEN SPACE.

ADDED THIS AT THIS POINT, IT WAS A 75 FOOT BUFFER TO 100 FOOT BUFFER ALONG ELM AVENUE, AND THEN ALSO ADDED A ROUNDABOUT HERE ALONG THE ALONG THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE SITE THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR TRAFFIC CALMING ON VICTORIA FALLS BOULEVARD.

SO HERE WE ARE TODAY.

THIS IS THE ACTUAL PLAN THAT WILL BE IN FRONT OF YOU AT OUR NEXT HEARING.

IF YOU TRANSMIT US RECEIVED TRANSMIT US.

THIS EVENING, YOU'LL NOTE A COUPLE KEY ITEMS. FIRST THING, THE ROAD COMING OUT OF THE K.

WE'VE RELOCATED THIS ROUNDABOUT, PUSHED IT A LITTLE FURTHER.

I GUESS THAT WOULD BE TOWARDS CENTRAL BOULEVARD.

THE BUILDINGS ARE A LITTLE CLOSER TO CENTRAL BOULEVARD.

AND THEN HERE ARE THE THE UNITS.

SINGLE LOADED UNITS WRAPPING THE GARAGE HERE.

AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW.

DEVELOPMENT. SINGLE LOADED UNITS AREN'T THE MOST EFFICIENT THING TO DO, BUT IT DOES CREATE A BEAUTIFUL LOOK AND IT ELIMINATES THE VIEW OF THAT PARKING GARAGE.

THESE ARE FOUR STORE STYLE PRODUCT, AND OVER HERE IS A THREE STYLE PRODUCT OR ADJACENT TO PALOMA.

AND THEN EACH OF THESE WINGS ARE FOUR STORIES.

THIS IS A CLUBHOUSE, A TWO STORY, A TWO STORY PRODUCT, A POOL, AMENITY FEATURES WHICH I'LL WALK THROUGH IN A SECOND, AND THEN HERE YOU'LL SEE THE ENTRANCE POINTS.

SO FIRST THING, ENTRANCE AND ACCESS, DELIVERY AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO TODAY THERE'S EXISTING ACCESS TO THE K.

IT'S BEEN THERE FOR MANY YEARS.

IT WAS DONE WHEN THE K GOT APPROVED IN 2014.

IT'S NOT CHANGING.

IT'S RELOCATING.

WE'RE AGREEING TO A CONDITION OF APPROVAL FOR MAINTENANCE OF TRAFFIC, OBVIOUSLY TO KEEP THAT ROAD OPEN.

BUT WE ARE SLIGHTLY RELOCATING PRIMARILY WHERE THIS ROUNDABOUT IS PROPOSED.

THIS ROUNDABOUT THEN BECOMES THE ENTRANCE TO BOTH THE K AND THEN ALSO BECOMES THE ENTRANCE INTO OUR SURFACE PARKING LOT, WHERE THERE ARE 11 SURFACE PARKING LOTS HERE, SEVEN SURFACE PARKING LOTS HERE THAT WILL ALLOW THE RESIDENTS OR THE GUESTS TO HAVE ACCESS.

THE GUESTS WILL ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO THE GROUND FLOOR OF THE PARKING GARAGE ALSO.

THERE IS THE EXISTING ACCESS POINT ALONG ELM AVENUE FOR THE KEY IDENTIFIED BY THE RED LINE THAT'S THERE TODAY.

IT'S ALSO THE ACCESS POINT TO THE BACK ENTRANCE OF PALOMA HERE.

SO OUR PROPOSED ACCESS POINT WILL BE OFF OF CENTRAL BOULEVARD HERE, WRAPPING AROUND THE ROUNDABOUT AND INTO THE FUTURE RESIDENT AREA, OR INTO THE GROUND FLOOR OF THE PARKING GARAGE OF THE THREE STORY PARKING GARAGE.

THE GROUND FLOOR OF THE PARKING GARAGE IS OPEN TO EVERYBODY.

THE SECOND FLOOR, THERE'S A GATE FOR THE SECOND FLOOR, SO THAT RESTRICTS ACCESS TO THE SECOND AND THIRD FLOOR.

THE NEXT ACCESS POINT HERE IS OFF OF VICTORIA FALLS BOULEVARD.

YOU'LL ENTER THE PROJECT, TAKE A RIGHT TURN.

THERE WILL BE A RIGHT TURN LANE HERE TURNING INTO THE SITE, AND WE'LL IMMEDIATELY TAKE YOU INTO THE GARAGE.

AND THEN HERE, YOU'LL HAVE A RIGHT TURN OUT TO ALLOW YOU TO GO OUT.

YOU WILL TAKE A ROUNDABOUT TO COME TO THE INTERSECTION OF VICTORIA FALLS.

IF YOU'RE GOING SOUTH ON CENTRAL BOULEVARD, OR YOU'LL TAKE A RIGHT AND GO OUT TO MILITARY TRAIL TO GET TO I 95.

ONE IMPORTANT THING ABOUT ACCESS, WHICH I WAS REMINDED RIGHT BEFORE THE MEETING BY MR.

[01:00:01]

IT SHOWED ACCESS ON VICTORIA FALLS BOULEVARD, AND IT SHOWED ACCESS ON ELM AVENUE.

WHEN WE STARTED THIS PROJECT, WE ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT HAVING ACCESS ON ELM AVENUE AND GIVE CREDIT AGAIN TO VISTA.

THEY SAID, WELL, WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.

THAT'S GOING TO CREATE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC ON ELM AVENUE FOR THE RESIDENTS OF THE KEY AND THE RESIDENTS OF PALOMA.

SO WE ELIMINATED THAT.

WE DO HAVE ACCESS, THOUGH, ON VICTORIA FALLS BOULEVARD, CENTRAL BOULEVARD AND THE REAR ACCESS GOING THROUGH THE KEY ITSELF, A PARKING.

SO IN REGARDS TO PARKING, WE MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF PARKING.

NOT REQUESTING ANY WAIVERS THIS EVENING.

THERE ARE 11 SURFACE PARKS RIGHT ADJACENT TO THE CLUBHOUSE.

THERE ARE 332 PARKING GARAGE SPOTS AND AGAIN IN A THREE STORY PARKING GARAGE.

THERE WILL BE TEN EV SPACES.

SO LET ME GET THIS RIGHT SO I DON'T SCREW IT UP.

FIVE CHARGERS, TEN SPOTS.

HOWEVER, BECAUSE IT'S A PARKING GARAGE, VISTA IS GOING TO WIRE FOR TEN CHARGERS, 20 SPOTS, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO INSTALL FIVE CHARGERS FOR TEN SPOTS FOR DAY ONE. AND THERE HAS TO BE AN EASIER WAY OF DOING THIS.

LET'S JUST SAY TEN EV SPOTS AND AND 20 POTENTIALLY IN THE FUTURE.

HOW HOW THEY'RE GOING TO DO THAT.

LOADING. ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN, YOU'LL NOTICE THIS.

THE LOADING IDENTIFIED HERE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN.

SO EVERY FACILITY LIKE THIS OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE MOVE IN MOVE OUT.

GARBAGE NEEDS TO BE PICKED UP.

GARBAGE IS LOCATED HERE INTERNAL IN CONDITIONED SPACE.

IT'S LOCATED WITHIN THE BUILDING.

IT IS NOT LOCATED AS LOADING AREA.

YOU'LL NOTICE THESE THE YOU'LL NOTICE THE WALLED IN AREA.

THAT'S ONLY FOR WHEN THEY ROLL IT OUT SO IT COULD GET PICKED UP.

JUST LIKE MY OFFICE IN DOWNTOWN WEST PALM BEACH.

THE GUY COMES ALONG WITH THE FORKLIFTS, ROLLS IT OUT TWICE A WEEK, THEN BRINGS IT BACK INTO THE CONDITIONED SPACE.

THAT'S WHAT THAT SPACE IS FOR.

IT IS NOT A DUMPSTER.

IT'S NOT AN EXTERIOR DUMPSTER.

THE WHOLE THOUGHT PROCESS OF HAVING IT WALLED IN WAS SO THE AIR GETS KEPT A LITTLE NEATER THAN WHAT IT WHAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ROLL DUMPSTERS OUT.

SO THAT WAS THE WHOLE REASONING FOR THAT.

SO THERE IS NOT A DUMPSTER LOCATED WITHIN THAT SPACE.

OH, HERE'S THE TRASH.

HERE'S THE TRASH SLIDE.

SO HERE YOU CAN SEE THE THE CONDITIONED SPACE INTERIOR TO THE BUILDING.

AND THEN HERE'S A STAGING AREA FOR THE TRASH ITSELF.

THE PARKING LEVEL I MENTIONED THIS EARLIER IS LEVEL ONE IS OPEN TO EVERYBODY.

AGAIN, LEVEL TWO IS GATED AND UP IS FOR ACCESS FOR THE RESIDENTS.

SO YOU'LL SEE NOTE THAT THE EV CHARGERS ARE HERE AND THAT THIS IS THE ACCESS POINT.

ALLOW COMPLETE FLOWING TRAFFIC IN THERE.

THERE ARE NO GATES UNTIL YOU ENTER INTO THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE PARKING GARAGE.

AND THEN THERE IS AN ARM AND A GATE THERE.

SO WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE.

THE ARCHITECT IS IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY FROM NDA, MBA ARCHITECTURE.

THEY'RE BASED OUT OF ATLANTA, BUT THEY DO A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF MIXED USE AND APARTMENTS ALL OVER THE STATE.

AND THEY WORK SIGNIFICANTLY WITH MR. DE GUARDIOLA. AND YOU'LL SEE THAT THE FORM OF ARCHITECTURE THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING HERE IS INTENDED TO FIX THE FIT IN WITH THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY.

IT HAS A TOUCH MODERN, BUT IT ALSO HAS TO BE THAT MEDITERRANEAN STYLE WHICH ALL THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES ARE.

YOU'LL NOTICE THE SPANISH BARREL TILE ON THE ROOF, THE USE OF BRACKETS.

BUT THEN WHEN YOU GET A LITTLE CLOSER, YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THE STONE WORK THAT'S BEING PROPOSED ON THE SITE.

SO THIS IS A VIEW OFF OF CENTRAL BOULEVARD, KIND OF BRINGING THINGS DOWN TO STREET VIEW.

YOU'LL NOTE THE FLOOR, THE FOUR STORIES.

YOU'LL SEE THE SPANISH TILE ROOF, THE USE OF BRACKETS, BALCONIES, THE SPECIAL STONE STYLE HERE ON THE EAST, ON THE SIDE OF THE CLUB. THIS IS A TWO STORY FEELING CLUBHOUSE, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY A ONE STORY BUILDING ITSELF.

SO IT'S IT FEELS LIKE TWO STORIES FROM A HEIGHT STANDPOINT, BUT IT'S A ONE STORY FACILITY.

THIS IS THE ELEVATION.

LOOKING TO THE EAST, YOU'LL NOTICE THE USE OF PROJECTION RECESSIONS AND THEN ALSO THE USE OF STONEWORK THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SITE TO GET THAT FEEL, THAT FEEL OF A DIFFERENTIAL AND SHADOWING.

THIS IS A VIEW LOOKING FROM VICTORIA FALLS.

SO YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN VICTORIA FALLS BOULEVARD ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.

YOU'RE SEEING, THREE AND FOUR STORY PRODUCT.

HERE IS THE USE OF THE WANT TO GET THE WORD RIGHT.

THE STONE WHICH IS THE CARIBBEAN CORAL STONE.

THE USE OF THE CARIBBEAN CORAL STONE PULLED OUT HERE.

AND GET AN IDEA OF HOW THAT WORKS.

THE USE OF THE BALCONY, THE TILES, AND THEN THE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF LANDSCAPING HERE GROWN AT A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS, CONSISTENT WITH YOUR REGULATIONS.

AND THEN THE FREE ENTRANCE POINT HERE AGAIN, YOU PULL IN THE WILL BE A TURN LANE, HERE, TURNING INTO THE COMMUNITY TO CREATE ADDITIONAL, STACKING DISTANCE.

BUT THERE WILL NOT BE A GATE.

SO PEOPLE WILL TURN RIGHT INTO THE SUBJECT SITE.

THIS IS A VIEW THE ELEVATION LOOKING SOUTH.

[01:05:02]

AMENITIES. SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF AMENITIES PROPOSED ON THE SITE.

THE THE CLUBHOUSE AND THE POOL.

IT'LL BE A VERY HIGH END CLUBHOUSE WITH SIGNIFICANT FITNESS AREAS, POOLS, WORKSPACE, ALL TYPES OF ITEMS THAT THE RESIDENTS ARE LOOKING FOR TODAY. THEN YOU'LL NOTE THAT THERE IS A PICKLEBALL COURT AND OPEN LAWN AND OUTDOOR SEATING ON THE MORE ACTIVE SIDE HERE ON THE LEFT.

AND THEN ON THE MORE PASSIVE SIDE, THERE'S THE BIKE, THERE'S THE HAMMOCKS, THE FIRE PIT, THE PUTTING GREEN HERE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.

SO A VERY NICE PACKAGE.

LET ME ADDRESS PICKLEBALL.

EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE SUBJECT HERE I KNOW THE QUESTION IS GOING TO COME UP.

SO NO NO PICKLE.

OH WE GOT IT. THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON THE PICKLEBALL.

IT'S A DAYTIME PICKLEBALL ONLY.

SO THERE WILL BE NO NO LIGHTS ON THE PICKLEBALL.

THERE IS A PROPOSED WALKING TRAIL.

THAT WALKING TRAIL I'LL SHOW YOU ON THE NEXT SLIDE.

ALSO DOUBLES THAT AS AN EMERGENCY ACCESS POINT.

WE HAVE OUR OWN DOG PARK.

AND THEN THERE ARE SOME OVERLOOKS AND COMMUNITY BENEFITS HERE AND HERE TO CREATE SOME UNIQUE SPACES THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.

A LOT OF THOUGHT WENT INTO THIS FROM A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE STANDPOINT, HOW TO CREATE A WALKING TRAIL SO PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN CONNECTIONS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

WHAT THE WHAT THE BUFFER IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE, HOW IT COULD FEEL COOL AND AND INVITING.

AND THEN ALSO WITHIN THE AMENITY AREA, YOU'LL NOTE THAT THE THE PADDLE BALL AND THE SPACES ARE ALL, EXCUSE ME, PICKLEBALL AND THE SPACES ARE ALL INTENDED TO CREATE THINGS FOR THE RESIDENTS.

ANOTHER VIEW, KIND OF REMOVING ALL THOSE ARROWS OF WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

IMPORTANT SLIDE I WANT TO TAKE A LOOK HERE WHERE THIS PARKING GARAGE IS BECAUSE IT'S HARD TO SEE IN PLAN VIEW.

BUT IF YOU JUST KIND OF THINK ABOUT IT, THE FLOORS OF A PART OF A THREE STORY, THREE STORY PARKING DECK, THEIR LOWER FLOOR TO FLOOR.

SO YOU HAVE FLOOR ONE, FLOOR TWO, FLOOR THREE.

WELL, THE RESIDENTS ARE HIGHER FLOORS AND THERE'S ALSO FOUR FLOORS.

SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS 3D RENDERING, YOU'LL NOTE THESE KIND OF BLANK WALLS HERE.

THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THAT IS YOU CAN'T SEE THE LIGHTS, YOU CAN'T SEE THE CARS.

AND SO A LOT OF THOUGHT WENT INTO THIS TO MAKE IT TO MAKE IT THE WAY IT IS.

YOU ALSO NOTICE THAT THE AC EQUIPMENT IS ALSO TUCKED IN BEHIND THESE UNITS.

SO ALLOWING THAT FOUR STORIES BY HAVING AND HAVING A THREE STORY PARKING GARAGE, IT'S BASICALLY ALLOWED YOU NOT TO SEE THAT FROM THE PALOMA SIDE.

AND THEN ALSO THERE'S A LOT OF DESIGN WORK ON THIS SIDE, WHICH IS OPEN FOR A LITTLE BIT ADJACENT TO THE ENTRY POINT.

SO A QUESTION ALWAYS THAT COMES UP IS, WELL, WHAT'S IT GOING TO LOOK LIKE TO, TO OUR NEIGHBORS, THE KIND OF TO GET RIGHT TO THAT.

THIS IS A CROSS SECTION OF ELM AVENUE, WHICH IS A ROAD THAT GOES NORTH SOUTH ADJACENT TO PALOMA.

IT'S THIS ROAD RIGHT HERE.

SO STARTING ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN ARE THE EXISTING HOMES WITHIN PALOMA.

AND THEN WITH. 35FT.

THERE IS A 15 FOOT 18 YEAR OLD PCD BUFFER OR 17 YEAR OLD PCD BUFFER, WHICH I MUST SAY IS WELL DESIGNED AND LOOKS GREAT TODAY. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL BUFFER.

IT'S THERE, THE TREES ARE FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT, AND THEN WE HAVE A RIGHT OF WAY LINE A SIDEWALK, AND THEN WE HAVE THIS GREEN SPACE HERE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OR ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN.

THOSE ARE EXISTING CLUSTERS OF OAK TREES AND SABAL PALMS. AS PART OF THIS, WE'RE COMMITTING TO ADDING ADDITIONAL CLUSTERS ON THE PALOMA SIDE IN THE RIGHT OF WAY.

SO WHERE THIS GREEN SPACE IS, WHERE WE'LL BE ADDING ADDITIONAL TREES AND LANDSCAPING CLUSTERS, THERE'S FIVE ADDITIONAL CLUSTERS, WHICH ARE A MIX OF OAK TREES AND SABAL TREES.

THE EXISTING MEDIAN THAT'S OUT THERE TODAY, AND THEN THE EXISTING GREEN SPACE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, ON THE PALOMA SIDE, AND THEN THE EXISTING STREET LIGHTS.

AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE ALL THOSE STREET LIGHTS THAT ARE THERE WILL REMAIN THERE THE EXISTING STREET LIGHTS.

THEY'VE BEEN THERE FOR NOW FOR 17 YEARS.

AND THOSE STREET LIGHTS WILL CONTINUE TO BE STREET LIGHTS FOR THE ELM AVENUE.

AND THEN YOU GET INTO THE RELOCATED PRESERVE AREA AGAIN.

THE THE CODE IS A 15 FOOT, A 15 FOOT PCD BUFFER.

BUT WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED IS A BUFFER THAT EXTENDS GENERALLY BETWEEN 80FT AND 103FT RIGHT HERE.

AND IT'S AN AREA OF EXISTING.

THERE'S EXISTING MATERIAL OUT THERE.

THEY'LL BE RELOCATED MATERIAL OUT THERE.

AND THEN THERE'LL BE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF NEW MATERIAL OUT THERE, WHICH WILL CREATE A NICE LAYERING SYSTEM IN A NATIVE HABITAT TO BE A PRESERVE AND A PCD BUFFER. IT'S JUST TO SHOW YOU WHAT I MEAN.

THIS IS A LANDSCAPE PLAN, AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE IN THAT TYPE OF BUSINESS, YOU'LL NOTICE THIS VERY BUSY LANDSCAPE PLAN.

THERE IS A LOT OF MATERIAL BEING PLANTED AND RELOCATED ON THE SUBJECT SITE.

WORKING WITH YOUR STAFF AND THE CITY FORESTER.

THIS PLAN WILL MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE NATIVE LANDSCAPE MATERIAL AND OF THE UPLAND PRESERVE AND ALSO THE PCD REQUIREMENT.

SO I'M STANDING ON ELM AVENUE.

[01:10:02]

WHAT AM I GOING TO SEE? WELL, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPING, LIGHTS, TREES, MANICURED LANDSCAPING CLOSER TO ELM AVENUE AND THEN MORE NATURAL LANDSCAPING BACK.

THIS IS FIVE YEARS FROM NOW.

I WON'T, YOU KNOW, THIS PICTURE IS FIVE YEARS FROM NOW.

YOU'LL ALSO BE ABLE TO SEE YOU'LL NOTICE THE ROOFLINE.

I MEAN, IT IS A THREE STORY, THREE AND FOUR STORY PRODUCT.

SO YOU WILL SEE A COMPONENT OF THE ROOFLINE, OF, OF IT.

BUT YOU'LL ALSO NOTICE THAT THE HOW THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE REDUCES THE SCALE OF THE BUILDING.

AND ALSO IT IS ALSO, YOU KNOW, IN THIS CASE, IT'S 100FT BACK.

SAFETY AND EMERGENCY ACCESS, AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT THAT WE WORK DILIGENTLY WITH YOUR FIRE DEPARTMENT ON.

WE ARE REQUIRED.

WE ARE PROVIDING A 16 FOOT FIRE BREAK RIGHT ADJACENT TO THE BUILDING.

THAT FIRE BREAK WILL ALSO DOUBLE AS ONE OF OUR WALKING TRAILS.

IT WILL BE A STABILIZED SURFACE FOR EMERGENCY.

THERE IS A GATE RIGHT HERE WITH A KNOCK BOX.

IT'S HARD TO SEE, BUT THERE IS A GATE RIGHT HERE OF A KNOX BOX AND THE SAME THING HERE.

AND THEN THERE'S A SIX FOOT FENCE LOCATED WITHIN THE PRESERVE AREA.

THAT FENCE WILL BE COVERED WITH LANDSCAPE MATERIAL, AND THEN YOU'LL SEE THAT WE HAVE HERE A SECONDARY HERE'S A SECONDARY ACCESS POINT.

AND THEN THIS LITTLE OVERLOOK RIGHT HERE.

SO THAT'S SAFETY AND EMERGENCY ACCESS BECAUSE IT IS A THREE AND THREE AND FOUR STORY PRODUCT.

IT ALLOWS VEHICLES EMERGENCY VEHICLES TO GET AROUND THE ENTIRE BUILDING.

SOME OTHER ELM AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS.

FIRST THING THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE HERE ARE LOCATED ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN.

THIS IS THE WE'RE PROPOSING AND CONSTRUCTING A NEW ROUNDABOUT THERE.

QUITE A CHANGE FROM WHAT IT IS TODAY.

TODAY, IT'S A 35 MILE AN HOUR ROAD WITH A FOUR WAY STOP SIGN THERE.

THE THREE WAY THE FOUR.

THE ROUNDABOUT WILL ALLOW TRAFFIC CALMING AND ALSO A BETTER FLOW FROM ELM TO VICTORIA FALLS.

SO THIS IS IT A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL.

OUR ENGINEERS ARE HERE AND CERTAINLY CAN SPEAK MORE ABOUT THE ROUNDABOUT ITSELF.

MR. HAGAN IS HERE OF COURSE, FROM KIMLEY-HORN AND CAN ANSWER ANY TRAFFIC QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

BUT THIS IS THE PROPOSED ROUNDABOUT.

AND THIS IS AS YOU COME ACROSS ACROSS FROM THE KUWAIT TODAY.

THIS IS THE EXISTING BRIDGE THAT'S OUT THERE TODAY.

AND THEN YOU GET A VIEW OF WHAT THAT BUILDING IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

LEFT HAND SIDE. CLUBHOUSE RIGHT HAND SIDE.

THE NEW PROPOSED UNIT OF 221 UNITS WITH WORKFORCE HOUSING.

IN REGARDS TO COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT, I KNOW THAT SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE RECEIVED A COUPLE LETTERS IN THE MAIL, BUT LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH A FEW OF THEM.

FIRST THING, THE PALOMA HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS TAKEN ACTION TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.

THAT'S THE LETTER ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE.

ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE IS FROM THE HOUSING LEADERSHIP COUNCIL.

THAT LETTER IS IN REGARDS TO THE FACT THAT WE'RE PROVIDING 10% VOLUNTARILY WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS, BOTH TWO IMPORTANT GROUPS, ONE THE MOST EFFECTIVE NEIGHBOR, TWO, KIND OF THE OVERALL GUIDING LEADER IN THE COUNTY FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING.

WE HAD, I BELIEVE, UNANIMOUS SUPPORT FROM THEIR BOARD OF DIRECTORS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN UNANIMOUS.

IT WAS PRETTY CLOSE FROM THEIR BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND A UNANIMOUS VOTE FROM THE PALOMA HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

ALSO, I WILL NOTE, I SUSPECT THAT YOU RECEIVED AN EMAIL THIS AFTERNOON FROM MR. DEPALMA, A RESIDENT WITHIN PALOMA.

MR. DEPALMA, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW WAS, IS OR WAS A TRANSPORTATION ENGINEER, THE OFFICE LEADER FOR A GROUP CALLED MCMAHON AND ASSOCIATES FOR MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS, JOHN WROTE A LETTER IN SUPPORT AND IN PARTICULAR IN HIS LETTER, I THINK HE IDENTIFIED THAT THAT ROUNDABOUT IS AN IMPORTANT ITEM AND THAT IT REALLY AFFECTS THE ACCESS IN A GOOD WAY TO THE SITE.

SO OPEN SPACE, OF COURSE.

WE'RE WAY OVER YOUR CRITERIA AND OPEN SPACE WAY OVER YOUR REQUIRED LANDSCAPE POINTS SIGNIFICANTLY.

IN FACT, THE FACTUAL NUMBERS ARE SIGNIFICANT.

YOU HAVE ABOUT THE FACTUAL NUMBERS HAVE ABOUT A SIGNIFICANT 21% OVER.

AND THEN ALSO IN REGARDS TO THE LANDSCAPING, THE POINT REQUIREMENT, WE ARE SIGNIFICANTLY OVER BY A HUGE NUMBER ON IDENTIFIED ON THE SCREEN.

SO JUST LEAVE YOU A COUPLE THOUGHTS THIS EVENING.

AND AGAIN I WOULD LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REBUT AFTER PUBLIC COMMENT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU THIS EVENING IS A PROJECT THAT'S BEEN AROUND FOR A REALLY LONG TIME.

THINGS HAVE CHANGED.

IN 2006, THERE WASN'T SOMETHING CALLED ALTON.

ACROSS THE STREET.

THERE WAS A PROPOSAL FOR WHAT IS NOW CENTRAL CENTRAL GARDENS, THE AGE RESTRICTED COMMUNITY, THE APARTMENTS.

THAT WAS GOING TO BE A VERY INTENSE COMMERCIAL PROJECT.

THAT COMMERCIAL HAS MOVED, IT'S MOVED TO ALTON, IT'S MOVED TO OTHER AREAS.

AND THE FACTS ARE THINGS HAVE CHANGED THE NEED, WITHIN MY OPINION, THE NEED WITHIN THE CITY IS RESIDENTIAL.

FOR THE CITY. IT'S COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS.

YOU HAVE A DEVELOPER WHO'S DOING A PARKING GARAGE, WHICH YOU'LL HEAR FROM EVERY OTHER DEVELOPER.

[01:15:02]

WE CAN'T DO IT.

HE'S DOING IT. AND HE'S ALSO PROVIDING 10% WORKFORCE HOUSING ON THIS SITE.

WE HAVE YOUR STAFF RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL.

WE HAVE NO WAIVERS.

WE HAVE UNANIMOUS SUPPORT OF YOUR PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD.

AND I'M REQUESTING THIS EVENING YOUR TRANSMITTAL OF THE ORDINANCE THREE AND ORDINANCE FOUR, AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK BEFORE YOU IN A MONTH.

IF YOU AGREE TO TRANSMIT AT ADOPTION, YOU'LL PRESENT TO YOU THE SITE PLAN AND ALSO THE PCD MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

WE HAVE ARCHITECTS, ENGINEERS AND WE'VE GOT A REALLY GREAT TEAM ON THIS PROJECT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

DO WE HAVE A PRESENTATION TONIGHT? SAMANTHA? NATALIE.

NO, MADAM MAYOR, NO STAFF PRESENTATION.

I'LL JUST REITERATE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT KEN SAID WITH HIS PRESENTATION.

STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THE PROJECT.

THE RESIDENTIAL LAND USE AND ZONING IS COMPATIBLE IN THIS AREA AND REDUCES APPROVED TRAFFIC FOR THIS SITE.

AND THE PROVISION OF WORKFORCE HOUSING IS ALSO AN ADDED BONUS.

SO AGAIN, STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF OF THIS PROJECT OVERALL.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SAMANTHA.

LET'S GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THIS, ORDINANCE.

SORRY ABOUT THAT. SORRY A LOT A LOT OF STUFF UP HERE.

MAKE IT A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE THREE 2224.

FIRST READING. SECOND.

ALL RIGHT, DANA AND CARL, LET'S BRING IT BACK FOR DISCUSSION.

I SAW LOTS OF SCRIBBLING AND NOTES.

ANYBODY WANT TO GO FIRST IN PARTICULAR? ALL RIGHT, GO FOR IT, BURT. I'LL GO FIRST.

I'M GOING TO MOVE MY MICROPHONE.

WITH REGARDS TO THE LIGHTING OF THE PROJECT.

SO IT'S KIND OF A TED THING THAT MATCHES THE LIGHTING ON MILITARY TRAIL ALONG ELM, IS THAT CORRECT? I'M GOING TO DIRECT PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING YOU CAN, SO YOU MIGHT JUST STAY THERE FOR A MINUTE.

THANK YOU. YEAH, IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME.

YES. OKAY. WE HAD SOME.

IT'S ALREADY BUILT, BY THE WAY, ON ALMA.

IS IT OKAY? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

I GOT TO GET OUT THERE, I GUESS, MORE OFTEN.

OR LOOK AROUND.

IT'S TEAM. YES. I WANTED TO BE SURPRISED TONIGHT.

THAT'S WHAT IT WAS. THIS.

WE HAD SOME COMMENTS ABOUT FENCING, SO THERE IS SIX FOOT FENCING ALL ALONG.

THERE IS A ROUNDABOUT TO.

OKAY. YES THERE IS.

THERE'S SIX FOOT FENCING ALONG ELM AVENUE WITHIN THE PRESERVE AREA OR RIGHT ON THE BUFFER OF THE PRESERVE AREA.

THERE IS A SIX FOOT HIGH FENCE WHICH WILL BE BURIED IN LANDSCAPING.

AND I ALSO FORGOT TO MENTION DURING THE PRESENTATION THAT OF COURSE, DURING THE CONSTRUCTION, AS A STANDARD CONDITION OF APPROVAL, WE'RE REQUIRED ALSO TO PROVIDE A SIX FOOT HIGH FENCE WITH A TARP ON IT TO PROTECT THE NEIGHBORS FROM THE VIEW OF THE CONSTRUCTION.

AND THAT'S A STANDARD CONDITION THAT THE CITY HAS ON EVERY PROJECT.

IT COMES UP WITHIN THE PRE-CONSTRUCTION CONFERENCE AND ALL GETS LAID OUT OKAY.

THANK YOU. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE ROUNDABOUT.

DEFINITELY NEEDED THERE. SO THAT'S THAT'S A GOOD FEATURE TO ADD TO THAT ROAD.

THE EMERGENCY ACCESS.

CAN WE TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT I GUESS THE PAVED SECTION IS EIGHT FEET.

AND THEN I GUESS MAYBE THERE'S ANOTHER EIGHT FEET THAT WHAT YOU CALL STABILIZED.

SO IN TERMS OF STABILIZATION FOR EMERGENCY UNITS TO GET THROUGH THERE, WHAT IS THAT CONSIST OF.

WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE. IS IT SOMETHING THAT'S GRADED OR DONE EVERY YEAR OTHER YEARS.

IS IT HOW DOES THAT LOOK I DON'T.

THEY GET THE RIGHT PLAN OUT. SO I GIVE YOU THE RIGHT INFORMATION.

BUT IT'S A SIX, SO IT'S EIGHT FEET.

THE EIGHT FOOT IS A STABILIZED WITH GRASS ON TOP OF IT.

SO IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE STABILIZED EVERY YEAR.

IT'S ONCE IT'S IN IT'S IN OKAY.

SO IT'S GOOD IN PERPETUITY.

YES. IN CASE A VEHICLE HAS TO GET BACK THERE FOR THE 16TH 16FT.

THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD WAS THE GARAGE.

IF YOU COULD GO BACK TO THE, ENTRANCE OFF OF VICTORIA RIGHT THERE.

PERFECT. YES, SIR. OF COURSE. YOU COME OFF, VICTORIA, YOU GO INTO THE GARAGE.

THE IMMEDIATE RIGHT IS THAT FIRST FLOOR PARKING? NO. KEEP GOING RIGHT THERE.

NOW GO TO THE RIGHT.

TO THE RIGHT. IS THAT FIRST FLOOR PARKING RIGHT THERE? YES. SO THAT'S.

BUT THAT DOESN'T CONNECT TO GO UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR.

THAT'S CORRECT. THE RAMP GOES LIKE THIS UNLESS SOMEONE YELLS AT ME FROM THE BACK.

BUT YES, THAT IS HOW IT WORKS.

IT GOES THIS WAY. AND THEN UP FROM THERE.

THIS IS STAYING ON THE GROUND PLANE.

OKAY. AND THE THE CHARGING STATIONS WILL BE ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT.

IN THE CORNER. YES.

FIRST FLOOR RIGHT HERE.

OKAY. PERFECT.

THAT'S ALL I HAD. THANK YOU. MAYOR.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, BERT.

WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO HEAD TO CARL.

I GOT SOME RANDOM COMMENTS, SO I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO YOU FOR YEARS NOW.

SO MY QUESTION IS, BECAUSE IT'S AN APARTMENT COMPLEX, DO YOU DO YOU JUST SET THE BAR HIGHER? AND I KIND OF MEAN THAT AS A JOKE BECAUSE THIS IS PERFECT.

I LIVE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET, AND THAT WORD COLLABORATION COMES TO MIND BECAUSE OF THE JOURNEY THAT THIS VISION CHANGED. I LOVE IT.

AND IT JUST BECAUSE IT'S AN APARTMENT COMPLEX, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND, TO.

KIND OF FIT IN THAT LITTLE SPOT, SO I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY.

I THINK IT'S FABULOUS.

I LOVE THE CHANGE, THE CHANGE OF THE SETBACKS ON ELM.

IT'S OKAY TO PUSH IT A LITTLE CLOSER TO ELM.

THERE'S GOING TO BE A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT LAKE VICTORIA OR VICTORIA, WHATEVER IT IS.

AND, I'VE GOT NOTHING.

YOU HIT ALL THE BULLET POINTS VERY QUICKLY, SO I'M IN FAVOR OF IT.

[01:20:05]

I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR IT.

SO NICE JOB.

THANK YOU FOR EVERYBODY. ALL RIGHT.

DANA? GOOD. CAN CAN YOU.

SORRY. I THINK BERT HIT MOST OF MY QUESTIONS ABOUT TRAFFIC, AND WE'VE WE'VE TALKED BEFORE.

AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING ME UP TO DATE WITH THE HISTORY ON THE PROJECT AND HOW IT EVOLVED.

AND, AGAIN, I, YOU KNOW, DITTO FOR WHAT BERT SAID.

AND CARL, I HAD ONE QUESTION ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY PARKING.

WHERE'S THE ACCESSIBILITY PARKING IN THE GARAGE.

OR ON THE PROPERTY.

HERE. LET ME PULL THIS.

THERE'S A SLIDE THAT SHOWS IT.

IS IT NUMBER ONE? SO THESE ARE THE EV CHARGING SPOTS AND THEN THE ACCESSIBLE SPOTS.

THERE ARE A COUPLE HERE.

AND THEN MARTY IS GOING TO TELL ME WHERE THE OTHER ONES ARE.

BUT I BELIEVE THEY'RE THEY'RE RIGHT HERE IF I REMEMBER.

RIGHT. SO THE ON GRADE LEVEL BY THE ELEVATORS.

YEAH. THERE YOU GO.

EACH LEVEL BY THE ELEVATOR.

OKAY. I KNEW THERE HAD TO BE SOMEWHERE.

I JUST WASN'T SURE WHERE THEY WERE MARKED.

AND THEN, WALKING TRAILS, BIKING TRAILS, EASY TO GET IN AND OUT OF THE COMPLEX TO GET ONTO THE MAIN ROADS TO DO THAT.

YES, THERE'S SIDEWALK ACCESS ALL THE WAY AROUND.

IN FACT, SIDEWALK CAN KIND OF SEE WHERE IT LOOPS THROUGH HERE.

IT CONNECTS THROUGH HERE.

THERE'S A SIDEWALK ACCESS HERE, THERE'S SIDEWALK ACCESS FURTHER LIKE SHOW YOU ON THIS VIEW.

ALL LITT. RIGHT? RIGHT. THERE'S ANOTHER SIDEWALK ACCESS HERE COMING INTO THE COMMUNITY.

OKAY. YEAH, THAT'S ALL I HAD.

I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT.

SO ALL IT.

IT'S ALL ALL LITT LITT LIGHTING.

THE REQUIREMENT FOR LIGHTING.

WE ARE MEETING ALL THE REQUIREMENTS FOR LIGHT AND PHOTO METRICS, WHICH INCLUDES LIT AREAS THAT WOULD INCLUDE THOSE SIDEWALK AREAS.

IN REGARDS TO ANSWER ANOTHER QUESTION, WHICH I THINK MAY COME UP IF SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS THE SIDEWALK IN THE BACK CLOSER TO PALOMA, THERE IS LIGHTS ON THAT AREA, THE SITE AND THAT LIGHTS THAT THOSE THE LIGHTS EXIST ALREADY IN PALOMA.

WE ARE ADDING ADDITIONAL LOWER SCALE LIGHTS WITHIN OUR PROJECT ALSO.

THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE FROM COUNCIL? OH, SORRY. MARCY.

COMMENTS. YEAH. GO AHEAD, PICK ME, PICK ME.

THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR.

SO, I DO HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS AND THEN A COUPLE COMMENTS AND, A COUPLE OF THINGS.

OVERALL, I LIKE THE DESIGN.

I THINK IT LOOKS VERY, VERY GOOD.

THE ARCHITECTURE.

AND I KNOW THAT YOU'VE DONE MANY REITERATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN, THE NON DUMPSTER AREA, WHICH I KNOW YOU ROLL THE, WHATEVER THE BIN OUT AND THEN IT'S LOADED UP, IF AT ALL.

IT COULD BE ROTATED OR TURNED A LITTLE BIT.

SO IT DOESN'T, ISN'T A FOCAL POINT OF JUST THE PAVEMENT.

I KNOW THE LANDSCAPE LOOKS GREAT AROUND IT.

THE SCREENING IS GOOD AROUND IT.

I KNOW YOU HAVE COCOPLUM OR, ON THE DRAWINGS, AND THAT'S A GREAT SCREENING SHRUB FOR THAT BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN IT'S ACTUALLY APPROVED.

I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT WHEN WE'RE APPROVING THE ACTUAL SITE PLAN.

WE'RE JUST DOING THE LAND USE AND THE ZONING.

BUT, YOU KNOW, IN BETWEEN, IF THAT'S A POSSIBILITY, GREAT.

THAT WOULD BE A NICE LITTLE ADDITION.

SO IT'S NOT A GREAT FOCAL POINT BECAUSE I KNOW MY BUILDING HAS THE SAME SITUATION AND THE PAVEMENT DOES GET A LITTLE DIRTY BECAUSE IT IS A DUMPSTER AND THEY ARE LOADING IT ON THERE AND IT WOULD JUST BE A LITTLE SOFTER, APPROACH.

SO THAT'S JUST A THOUGHT.

I APPRECIATE AND AFTER READING THE BACKUP MATERIAL, THE, PRESERVE AREA THAT'S BEING SUPPLEMENTED, I KNOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL FIRES OUT THERE.

AND I DO APPRECIATE THAT BIG PRESERVE AREA.

I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF BUGS AND BUNNIES THAT UTILIZE IT NOW, ESPECIALLY GOPHER TORTOISES, BECAUSE I DO RIDE MY BIKE ALONG THAT AREA AND, JUST I, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU, WHEN YOU GO THROUGH THE PERMITTING PROCESS TO MAYBE ADD SOME OR, DO SOME ALTERNATE SPECIES THAT YOU COULD PEPPER INTO THE PRESERVE AREA WHEN YOU'RE DOING YOUR SUPPLEMENT THAT ARE SPECIES THAT ARE HIGH FORAGE VALUE FOOD FOR GOPHER TORTOISES AND OTHER FAUNA THAT'S IN THERE, LIKE GOPHER APPLE AND OPUNTIA CACTUS AND, YOU KNOW, PORTULACA AND VERBENA STUFF LIKE THAT THAT PROVIDE A REALLY HIGH VALUE FOOD SOURCE FOR THE ANIMALS.

I THINK THEY LIKE COCO PLUMS ALSO.

THEY DO. ABSOLUTELY.

COCO PLUM IS A GREAT FOOD SOURCE, SO I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

BUT TO SUMMARIZE THIS, THIS PROPOSED USE IS SO MUCH BETTER OF A TRANSITIONAL USE THAN THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

IT'S COMPATIBLE WITH THE MULTIFAMILY ACROSS THE STREET IT HAS.

I LOVE THE TIERED EFFECT.

I LIKE THE UNDULATION OF THE ARCHITECTURE.

[01:25:02]

ADDING THE THE THICKER BUFFER, THE PRESERVE, AND THE BUFFERS AROUND THE WHOLE THING.

AND OBVIOUSLY REDUCING 4000 PLUS TRIPS, A DAILY TRIPS IS A WIN FOR EVERYONE.

THAT'S THE ONE THING THAT WE HEAR FROM SO MANY RESIDENTS IS, YOU KNOW, CONGESTION AND TRAFFIC AND AND NOISE AND ALL OF THAT.

SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

AND IT IT IS A WIN FOR ALL.

AND THE WORKFORCE HOUSING OF COURSE IS A COMPONENT THAT IS VERY MUCH NEEDED, IN OUR CITY AND EVERYWHERE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY AND STATE.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH.

AND, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS MUCH BETTER THAN ALL THE OTHER USES THAT YOU HAD MENTIONED.

AND ONE OTHER QUESTION IS THE PARKING STRUCTURE, THE SECOND FLOOR IS THAT GATED? IT IS. AND THEN IS THAT LIKE AN ACCESS? AND WHAT'S TO, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE IT A QUICK, SO THERE'S NOT A LOT OF STACKING.

I KNOW IT'LL BE A CARD READER OR A FIVE AS PART OF THE, AS PART OF THE RENTAL AGREEMENT THAT GET UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR.

OKAY. SO IT'S PRETTY QUICK.

IS IT. IT'S NOT A IT'S IT'S THEIR BAND, THEIR BANDED ARMS. IT'S NOT A IT'S NOT A GAME.

YEAH OKAY. AND IT MIGHT NOT BE THEIR GATE.

THERE MIGHT CHANGE MY WORDS ON THAT ONE.

THERE ARE ARM GATE ARM GATES.

IT WON'T BE A SLIDER A SLIDER OKAY.

BECAUSE THEY TAKE A LONG TIME.

AND THEN THERE'S A STACKING ISSUE WITH THAT.

PERFECT. ALSO, IS THERE AN ANTICIPATED PRICE POINT FOR THE NON WORKFORCE HOUSING FOR THESE UNITS? JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY.

YEAH. AT THIS TIME I REALLY AM NOT COMFORTABLE ANSWERING THAT.

BUT WHAT I WHAT I WILL TELL YOU IS THAT, RENTS ARE FAIRLY EXPENSIVE IN ALTON AND THIS WILL BE COMPARABLE IN LEVEL SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ONE BEDROOMS AND TWO BEDROOMS WITHIN THIS COMMUNITY.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

OOPS. I HAVE ONE QUESTION.

YES, MA'AM. I JUST WAS WONDERING, FOR THE WORKFORCE HOUSING.

WHAT? HOW LONG WILL THE PROGRAM BE IN PLACE? IT'S IT'S IT'S A IT'S IN THE IT'S IN THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.

IT'S 30 YEARS. 30 YEARS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER CONVERSATION FROM COUNCIL.

ALL RIGHT. AND AGAIN THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE HISTORY.

WE ALWAYS APPROVE THAT.

LET'S GO AHEAD. IT. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. SO DON'T FORGET, GUYS.

[01:30:09]

LET'S GO AHEAD AND DECLARE EX PARTE REGARDING RESOLUTION SEVEN.

MARCIE. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? I DO NOT. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. BERT, I'M GOING TO DECLARE EX PARTE FOR EVERYBODY AT MR. HERRING'S PRESENTATION AT THE CHAMBER BREAKFAST THE OTHER MORNING ON THE ON THE SEMI QUASI PROJECT.

SO I JUST WANT TO GET THAT OUT THERE.

WE ACTUALLY HAVE TWO EX PARTE, BUT I JUST WANTED TO I WANTED TO SAY THAT OKAY.

BECAUSE I WAS THERE TOO.

HE WAS VERY EXCITED, SUPER EXTRA TRANSPARENT.

HE WAS VERY VERY EXCITED.

WE WANT TO NOTE THAT. SO THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT I GUESS I HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING.

COUNCIL MEMBER MIDDLETON ALL RIGHT.

CARL ALL RIGHT.

I ACTUALLY WAS NOT THERE AND I HAVE NOTHING.

YEAH, I'M CHANGING MY EX PARTE TO ADD THAT AS WELL THEN.

ALL RIGHT. CONSIDER IT DONE.

AND IF WE COULD HAVE.

HELLO GEORGE.

MR.. FROM CUTLER HEARING WELCOME.

THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. FOR THE RECORD MY NAME IS GEORGE MISSIMER WITH CUTLER.

AND HEARING HERE TONIGHT ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT AND PROPERTY OWNER AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN, WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO TALK ABOUT PGA STATION.

SO IT'LL TAKE US PROBABLY A MINUTE TO GET CIMARRON COVE OUT OF OUR HEADS.

SO I'LL DO MY BEST TO KEEP MY THOUGHTS ORGANIZED AND TO THE POINT.

WE HAVE A WONDERFUL PROJECT TEAM.

WE ARE SIMILAR TEAM TO WHAT WE HAD FOR OUR LAST APPLICATION WITH PGA STATION, OUR PROPERTY OWNER, PGA BUILDING NINE AND TEN, MR. DAN CATALFAMO AND JOEY EICHNER, OUR DEVELOPER, THE RICHMOND GROUP, OUR ARCHITECT CORDWELL ARCHITECTS, MR. ALBERT CORDOVA, HE'S HERE THIS EVENING, OUR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT AND PLANNERS, CUTLER, AND HEARING BOTH DON HERRING AND MYSELF, CIVIL ENGINEER SIMMONS AND WHITE, MR. ERIC COOPER, HE'S HERE THIS EVENING, AS WELL AS AS IS OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER, STEPHANIE GUERRA WITH KIMLEY-HORN.

AS STATED, WE HAVE TWO RESOLUTIONS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT.

THE FIRST BEING RESOLUTION SEVEN, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY JUST TO COMBINE TWO EXISTING PUDS.

SO WE HAVE PGA STATION, ROUGHLY 30 ACRES, AND THEN GARDEN STATION JUST TO THE SOUTH, SHARING A PROPERTY LINE WHICH IS A LITTLE OVER SEVEN AND A HALF ACRES.

SO THAT APPLICATION IS TO COMBINE THOSE TWO PUDS INTO ONE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CALLED PGA STATION.

AND THEN RESOLUTION EIGHT 2024 REQUESTING AN AMENDMENT TO THAT NEWLY CREATED PUD FOR THE ADDITION OF 620 NEW MULTIFAMILY RESIDENCES, INCLUDING 62 WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS.

TOUCHING BRIEFLY ON THE LOCATION, AS I'M SURE WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR.

THE PROJECT SITE IS LOCATED JUST WEST OF ALTERNATE A-1-A AND THE RAILROAD TRACKS JUST EAST OF INTERSTATE 90 AND INTERSTATE 95, AND THEN JUST SOUTH ABUTTING PGA BOULEVARD.

THE UNDERLYING LAND USE AND ZONING IS MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, AND IT IS CONSISTENT ACROSS BOTH EXISTING PUDS.

AND THIS OUTLINE IS JUST TO INDICATE THE EXISTING GARDEN STATION PD, WHICH WE'RE COMBINING INTO PGA STATION.

THERE IS A LONG PROJECT HISTORY WITH BOTH PGA STATION AND GARDEN STATION.

WE WON'T GO THROUGH ALL OF IT, BUT REALLY WHAT THAT GOES TO SHOW IS THE EVOLUTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT OVER THE YEARS.

I MEAN, REALLY STARTING OUT, IT WAS PRIMARILY AN INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL PARK NOW TO A TRULY MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT RIGHT IN THE HEART OF THE CITY'S TOD DISTRICT.

IT'S VERY SIGNIFICANT.

THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT IN RECENT YEARS BY THE CITY OUTLINED A NUMBER OF POLICIES FOR THAT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, WHICH PGA STATION IS CONSISTENT WITH.

AND HERE IS A MAP OF THAT TOD DISTRICT AND REALLY INDICATING THE LOCATION OF PGA STATION TRULY BEING WITHIN THE HEART OF THAT TOD, LIKE, BRIEFLY, JUST TO FRAME THE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE APPLICATION, THE INCLUSION OF 620, APARTMENT UNITS. IT'S A BIG NUMBER.

IT'S A LOT OF UNITS. A LOT OF PEOPLE IMMEDIATELY THINK TRAFFIC WHEN THEY THINK OF ADDING ADDITIONAL UNITS.

AND WE'RE ALL KIND OF WIRED THAT WAY.

BUT SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT IN THIS DISTRICT, SPECIFICALLY, IS THE SUPPORT THAT ADDITIONAL DENSITY HAS FOR MULTIMODAL MODES OF TRANSPORTATION AND MASS TRANSIT, AND THE GOALS THAT THE CITY HAS OUTLINED AND STAFF HAS SUPPORTED TO PROMOTE THOSE ALTERNATE MODES OF TRANSPORTATION TO IMPROVE TRAFFIC IS REALLY UPHELD BY APPLICATIONS SUCH AS THESE.

SO I'LL REITERATE DON'S THOUGHTS AT THE BREAKFAST RECENTLY, BUT IT REALLY TAKES LEADERS AND LEADERSHIP TO BRING FORWARD, ADDITIONAL WORKFORCE HOUSING AND TO REALLY IMPROVE CONDITIONS WITHIN THE CITY.

MOVING ON TO OUR SITE PLAN.

SO THIS IS OUR EXISTING PGA STATION PUD AS IT IS APPROVED TODAY.

AND THE EXISTING CONDITIONS FOR THE GARDEN STATION PUD.

[01:35:03]

INCLUDES RESIDENTIAL, PROFESSIONAL OFFICE, MEDICAL OFFICE, SHOPPING CENTER, RETAIL, RESTAURANT, FURNITURE USE AND A HOTEL.

THE EXISTING GARDEN STATION PUD CONTAINS A PROFESSIONAL OFFICE, FINANCIAL AS WELL AS MEDICAL OFFICE.

NOW THE AMENDMENT TO THE SITE PLAN, THE NEWLY CREATED PUD WOULD DEMOLISH BUILDINGS 11 A WITHIN PGA STATION AND GARDENS WEST OFFICE BUILDING.

SO THE NEW PROPOSED SITE PLAN INCREASES THE RESIDENTIAL UNIT COUNT BY 620 UNITS FOR A TOTAL OF 1016, INCLUDING 62 WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS FOR A NEW WORKFORCE HOUSING TOTAL OF 102.

OUR PROFESSIONAL OFFICE TOTAL DECREASES BY ABOUT 42,000FT².

THERE'S NO CHANGE TO THE MEDICAL OFFICE, SHOPPING CENTER OR RESTAURANT.

THE FURNITURE USE IS REMOVED AND THEN THE HOTEL IS NOT CHANGED AT ALL.

NOW THE DENSITY.

THE NEW TOTAL PUD ACREAGE IS 37.62 ACRES.

OUR PERMITTED MAXIMUM DENSITY WITHIN THIS DISTRICT IS 27 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

THAT'S WITH THE BONUSES.

SO THAT WOULD YIELD A MAX DENSITY OF 1016 UNITS.

AND THAT IS EQUAL TO OUR PROPOSED DENSITY, WHICH INCLUDES THE 10% WORKFORCE HOUSING OF 102 UNITS.

SO THOSE DENSITY BONUS BONUSES ARE OUTLINED IN THE COMP PLAN AS WELL AS IN THE TOD ZONING CODE.

AND THEY'RE OUTLINED HERE AS WELL, INCLUDING THE MINIMUM RECOMMENDED MINIMUM DENSITY OF 15 UNITS, A SIX UNIT BONUS FOR THE WORKFORCE HOUSING, TWO FOR ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY DESIGN, TWO FOR ART AND PUBLIC PLACES, AND THEN TWO FOR THE INCLUSION OF GROUND FLOOR ACTIVATED ACTIVE USES.

AS YOU ALL KNOW, THERE'S A NUMBER OF ART IN PUBLIC PLACES APPROVED AND INSTALLED AT THIS STATION, AND THAT IS CONTINUED FORWARD IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND INCLUDING A NUMBER OF SMALLER PIECES THAT AREN'T PART OF ANY ART IN PUBLIC PLACES.

APPROVAL. THROUGHOUT THE THROUGH THE DOCUMENTS AND THROUGH MY PRESENTATION, YOU MAY HEAR ME REFER TO THE BUILDINGS AS PHASES, AS RESIDENTIAL PHASES.

SO I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR AT THE BEGINNING.

HERE WE HAVE THREE RESIDENTIAL PHASES WITHIN PJ STATION PHASE ONE WHICH IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

WE'RE HOPING TO WRAP THAT UP THIS YEAR, 396 UNITS WITH A MIXTURE OF DIFFERENT UNIT TYPES, INCLUDING THE 40 WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS.

PHASE TWO IS 302 UNITS.

SO THAT'S BUILDING 13.

THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST BUILDING CONSTRUCTED WITHIN OUR NEW POD D OF THE PUD.

AND THEN PHASE THREE, THE FINAL PHASE WOULD BE 318 UNITS, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE AN ADDITIONAL 32 WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS.

THE WORKFORCE HOUSING UNIT, SOMETHING THAT WE'D LIKE TO EMPHASIZE.

THESE ARE FLOATING UNITS, WHAT WE CALL THEM.

SO THEY'RE NOT SPECIFIC DEDICATED UNITS WITHIN EACH BUILDING THAT MIGHT HAVE DIFFERENT FIXTURES OR FURNISHINGS.

THEY'RE ALL IDENTICAL UNITS WITHIN EVERY BUILDING.

AND SO IT ALLOWS THE DEVELOPER AT ANY POINT A DIFFERENT UNIT COULD BE CLASSIFIED AS WORKFORCE HOUSING.

ONE SCENARIO THAT WE THINK OF OFTEN IS IF A RESIDENT QUALIFIES FOR A WORKFORCE HOUSING RATE, THEY MOVE IN AND THEN AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS, THEY IMPROVE IN THEIR CAREER AND THEY NO LONGER QUALIFY FOR THAT RATE.

THEY'RE NOT FORCED TO MOVE OUT.

THAT WORKFORCE UNIT COULD GO TO ANOTHER UNIT WITHIN THE BUILDING.

AND SO THAT'S JUST A REALLY NICE WAY TO, TO RUN THE WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS WITHIN EACH BUILDING.

SOME QUICK IMAGES OF THAT PHASE ONE.

THIS IS THE 396 UNIT BUILDING WITHIN POD B OF PJ STATION.

AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S IT'S NEARING COMPLETION REALLY IN THE FINAL STAGES.

SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT BUILDING TO COME ONLINE.

MOVING INTO A MORE DETAILED LOOK AT OUR SITE PLAN.

REALLY, THE FIRST THING THAT YOU'LL NOTICE HERE, IS THE ROOFTOP AMENITY FEATURES ON TOP OF THE PARKING STRUCTURES.

SO EACH BUILDING HAS ITS OWN ATTACHED PARKING STRUCTURE, AND THE ROOFTOP HAS BEEN, ALLOCATED FOR THAT AMENITY SPACE.

SO IT'S A REALLY EFFICIENT WAY TO INCLUDE YOUR AMENITIES AS WELL, AS IT IMPROVES THE SUN EXPOSURE FOR THOSE FEATURES.

AND. FIRST THING THAT I ALWAYS LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IS ACCESS.

SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN REALLY INTEGRAL TO THIS PROJECT IS HOW ARE WE GOING TO BE MOVING PEOPLE IN AND AROUND THE SITE.

WE WORKED HEAVILY WITH STAFF ON MAKING SURE WE COULD MAXIMIZE THOSE ACCESS POINTS WITHIN REASON, TRYING NOT TO CREATE TOO MANY ACCESSES OUT ONTO A ROADWAY.

AND WE MIGHT HAVE TRAFFIC CONFLICTS, BUT WE WENT THROUGH SEVERAL ITERATIONS OF THE PROJECT TO REALLY UNTIL WE WERE COMFORTABLE WITH PROVIDING ENOUGH ACCESS THAT PROVIDES DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESIDENTS AS WELL AS ADJACENT PROPERTY, VISITORS AND OWNERS TO BE MOVING AROUND THE AREA

[01:40:07]

AND OBVIOUSLY THAT CONNECTS TO THE SURROUNDING ROADS, ALTERNATE AONA AND PGA BOULEVARD.

SO YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT AVENUES FOR PEOPLE TO TRAVEL WHEN THEY'RE EXITING THE SITE TO GO NORTH OR SOUTH.

AS WELL, I'LL PROBABLY MENTION IT A FEW MORE TIMES, BUT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF OFF SITE IMPROVEMENTS.

WE DO HAVE SEVERAL CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL WHERE, WE'RE PROVIDING PROPORTIONATE PAYMENTS TOWARDS THOSE IMPROVEMENTS OF ADJACENT ROADWAYS THAT WOULD HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. LOOKING CLOSER AT OUR ACCESS, YOU'LL SEE THE FOUR ACCESS POINTS, OUR INTERNAL DRIVEWAY CIRCULATION WITH A CENTRAL ROUNDABOUT FEATURE.

WE DO HAVE A EACH GARAGE HAS A SINGULAR ACCESS POINT.

WE ARE PROVIDING A TURN LANE OFF RCA BOULEVARD.

IT WASN'T REQUIRED FOR THE TRAFFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TRAFFIC STUDY, BUT WE USE AS WELL AS STAFF FELT THAT IT WAS INTEGRAL TO THE PROJECT TO REALLY IMPROVE THE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS ON OUR STATE BOULEVARD, EVEN THOUGH IT WOULDN'T ULTIMATELY BE REQUIRED.

WE DO HAVE COVERED LOADING AREAS FOR EACH OF THE BUILDINGS FOR RESIDENT MOVE IN, AS WELL AS DEDICATED RIDESHARE DROP OFF AND PICK UP LOCATIONS FOR EACH BUILDING, AS WELL AS AT THE CENTRAL PARK.

FOR RESIDENTS EXITING.

AS I SAID, THERE ARE MULTIPLE AVENUES FOR THEM TO EXIT THE GARAGE AND THEN EVENTUALLY LEAVE THE SITE IN REALLY ANY DIRECTION THAT THEY NEEDED TO GO TO OPTIMIZING AND REALLY MAKING IT THE MOST EFFICIENT MEANS FOR THEM TO LEAVE.

THE INTERNAL CIRCULATION OF THE PARKING STRUCTURE IS VERY EASY AND CONVENIENT.

AGAIN, THERE'S NO SPEED RAMPS WITHIN THIS GARAGE.

IT'S VERY WIDE OPEN AND EASY FOR RESIDENTS TO GET IN AND OUT.

SIMILAR WITH PHASE ONE, THE FIRST FLOOR OF THE GARAGE WOULD BE OPEN.

STARTING ON THE SECOND FLOOR, THERE IS A SECURITY ACCESS GATE WHERE RESIDENTS WOULD HAVE A KEY FOB.

WE DO HAVE 26 ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS.

THEY ARE LOCATED AT ALMOST EVERY FLOOR, SO THEY ARE DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THE BUILDING, INCLUDING ADA SPACES AS WELL.

TOTAL PARKING.

SO ARE EACH RESIDENTIAL BUILDING WITHIN PGA STATION HAS A PARKING RATE OF 0.95 SPACES PER BED, PLUS 5%.

GUEST. SO PHASE ONE GARAGE BUILDING TEN, WHICH IS NEARING COMPLETION, HAS 606 PARKING SPACES, PHASE TWO HAS 480 AND PHASE THREE HAS 500.

MOVING INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL.

ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, THERE IS AN EXISTING 50 FOOT DRAINAGE EASEMENT THAT'S OWNED BY PALM BEACH COUNTY.

THAT IS AN OPEN DITCH THAT'S NOT BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED.

IT'S OVERGROWN WITH INVASIVE SPECIES JUST TO THE EAST.

WHEN POD E OR GARDENS EAST WAS PREVIOUSLY DEVELOPED, THAT DITCH WAS FILLED IN AND CULVERTED.

WHEN THERE'S A 72 INCH DRAINAGE PIPE THERE.

AND WE ARE LOOKING TO MATCH THAT CONDITION ON THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

SO HERE'S WHAT THE DITCH LOOKS LIKE TODAY.

YOU CAN SEE IT'S OVERGROWN WITH BRAZILIAN PEPPER AS WELL AS A NUMBER OF OTHER INVASIVE SPECIES.

SO REALLY FILLING THAT IN PLANTING SOME NATIVE SPECIES AND ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING WILL MAKE THAT LOOK MUCH BETTER.

THAT IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF THE TWO BUILDINGS.

YOU'LL SEE WE HAVE CREATED SOMEWHAT OF A LINEAR PARK AND ADDITIONAL PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY IN THAT AREA.

WITH THE LANDSCAPING CONNECTING RCA BOULEVARD AND RCA CENTER DRIVE.

WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT CONNECTIVITY IN A MOMENT, AND WE ARE PROPOSING ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING OFF SITE.

STILL, WITHIN THAT 50 FOOT EASEMENT, IT'S SPLIT 25 AND 25.

SO 25 FOOT OF THAT EASEMENT IS LOCATED ON THE HOTEL PROPERTY, AND WE ARE PROPOSING TO PLANT ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING IN THERE TO MAKE UP FOR SOME OF THE BUFFERING LOST, ALBEIT IT'S INVASIVE SPECIES, BUT STILL BUFFERING BETWEEN THOSE TWO USES.

AND HERE'S A VIEW CROSS-SECTION OF WHAT THAT EASEMENT ULTIMATELY WILL LOOK LIKE.

YOU'LL SEE THE 72 INCH DRAINAGE PIPE AND THEN THE LANDSCAPING ON EITHER SIDE, INCLUDING THE LANDSCAPING OFF SITE.

AND HERE'S A COUPLE QUICK RENDERINGS SHOWING THAT SOUTHERN BOUNDARY OF THE SITE.

YOU'LL SEE THE LANDSCAPING AND OBVIOUSLY THE DITCH BEING FILLED IN.

AND HERE'S A VIEW FROM THE EASTERN SIDE.

AND YOU CAN SEE THAT LINEAR PARK FEATURE CONNECTING THE TWO SIDES OF THE BUILDING.

[01:45:02]

I THINK WE COULD BE HERE ALL NIGHT TALKING ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY AS WELL AS ALL OF THE FEATURES OF THIS BUILDING.

SAMANTHA AND I HAVE HAD MANY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT IT, INCLUDING TODAY.

AND SO I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL OF THE LIST OF DIFFERENT ITEMS. BUT REALLY, THE BIG PICTURE THAT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT IS AGAIN, GOES BACK TO THE VISION OF THE CITY AND CREATING THESE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS WITH INCREASED DENSITY, EMPHASIS ON MULTIMODAL TRANSPORT, WIDENING, WIDENING PEDESTRIAN PATHS, CREATING THOSE COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENTS.

AND THEN AGAIN, THE LOCATION BEING RIGHT NEXT TO THE POTENTIAL FUTURE RAIL TRANSIT STATION, VERY SIGNIFICANT IN IMPROVING PROFITABILITY OF THAT, AS WELL AS JUST IMPROVING, THAT EVENTUAL MASS TRANSIT GOAL OF THE MOBILITY PLAN WITH THE CITY.

NOW WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT CONNECTIVITY.

AND YOU'VE SEEN THIS GRAPHIC BEFORE FOR OUR PREVIOUS APPLICATION.

BUT WE'VE UPDATED IT OBVIOUSLY FOR THE NEW PUD BOUNDARY, ALL OF THE INTERNAL SIDEWALKS AND PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS, THE RED BEING ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS, THE EIGHT FOOT SIDEWALKS WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT, BRINGING PEOPLE IN AND OUT, AS WELL AS THE NUMEROUS OTHER PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS.

ALL OF OUR PEDESTRIAN AMENITY AREAS ARE NEAR VIRTUALLY EVERY BUILDING.

THERE'S LOTS OF THOSE, AS WELL AS OUR, DEDICATED RIDESHARE PICKUP AND DROP OFF LOCATIONS, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT AGAIN, FOR EASE AND EFFICIENCY OF TRAFFIC MOVEMENTS.

A LITTLE FURTHER ON SOME OF THE PEDESTRIAN SPACES.

OBVIOUSLY WITH EACH RESIDENTIAL BUILDING, THERE'S A HOST OF AMENITIES INSIDE THE BUILDING AS WELL AS OUT.

BUT EXTERIOR ON THE SITE, SOME OF WHAT WE'VE DONE AS PART OF PREVIOUS APPLICATIONS AS WELL AS THIS IS THE CREATION OF AMENITIES USING THE LAKE FEATURE, ADDING PET WASTE STATIONS AROUND THE SITE, WIDENING THE SIDEWALKS TO EIGHT FEET.

MANY PEDESTRIAN PLAZA AREAS ARE LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE SITE, ADJACENT TO BUILDINGS BOTH IN AS WELL AS IN THE NEW DEVELOPMENT AND SOME OF THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENTS.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE PAD E IS NOT BEING AMENDED WITH THIS APPLICATION.

IT IS GOING TO BE CONSISTENT WITH ITS CURRENT CONDITION AS MEDICAL OFFICE AND WON'T BE AMENDED, AND THEN ALSO A NUMBER OF OTHER PEDESTRIAN AMENITIES AROUND THE SITE BICYCLE RACKS, BENCHES, LANDSCAPING.

I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT.

WE ALWAYS LIKE TO DESIGN OUR LANDSCAPE TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE BUILDING.

WE DON'T WANT TO NECESSARILY HIDE ANYTHING UNLESS WE DO.

WE WANT TO ACCENTUATE THE ARCHITECT ARCHITECTURE AND REALLY IMPROVE THE PROJECT SO THAT EVERYTHING WORKS TOGETHER.

WE ARE PROVIDING ACCENT PIECES AT IMPORTANT INTERSECTIONS AND ENTRANCES, CULMINATING IN OUR CENTRAL ROUNDABOUT FEATURE THAT HAS AN ART PIECE AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING.

OUR CENTRALLY LOCATED PEDESTRIAN AMENITY FOR THE SITE IS REALLY CONVENIENT AND SPECIAL.

WE FEEL IT CREATES AN OUTDOOR AREA OF LAWN SPACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN GATHER AND ENJOY THE SPACE, AS WELL AS THE LANDSCAPING PROVIDED.

AND LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT THE LINEAR PARK ON THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE BUILDING ALONG THE ADJACENT ROADWAYS, RCA CENTER DRIVE AND RCA BOULEVARD, WE ARE PROVIDING ENHANCED LANDSCAPING AND INCREASING THE WIDTH OF THE PEDESTRIAN SIDEWALKS, CREATING ADDITIONAL AMENITY SPACE TO REALLY IMPROVE THAT WALKING CONNECTION AND SUPPORT THE PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC.

AND HERE'S JUST A COUPLE QUICK RENDERINGS OF THAT LANDSCAPE, WHICH WE PROVIDED AS CONSISTENT AS WE CAN TO THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPING PLAN.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO CALL OUT THE LIGHTING INTEGRATED THROUGHOUT.

THE DESIGN IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WAS APPROVED FOR PGA STATION AS PART OF PREVIOUS APPLICATIONS.

SO THERE IS THAT CONTINUITY THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT.

AND LIKE I SAID, THE LANDSCAPE REALLY WORKING TO ACCENTUATE THE ARCHITECTURE, PROVIDING THOSE, THOSE KEY MOMENTS IN THOSE FEATURES.

WELL, TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ROOFTOP AMENITY.

AS WE SAID, IT'S ON THE ROOFTOP OF THE GARAGES.

IT'S A REALLY EFFICIENT DESIGN.

WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE A NUMBER OF SPORT AMENITIES WITH EACH BUILDING.

WITH PHASE TWO, WE'RE PROVIDING A ROOFTOP PICKLEBALL COURT, WHICH IS SCREENED WILL BE LIMITED TO DAYTIME USE, AND IT'S DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE INTERIOR GYM SPACE, SO THERE'S A REALLY GOOD CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THOSE USES A WALKING PATH AROUND THE PICKLEBALL, AS WELL AS SOME MINIATURE PRACTICE GREEN FOR FOR PUTTING FOR GOLF, AND OF COURSE, OUR POOL FEATURE AND LOUNGE SEATING.

[01:50:04]

VERY UNIQUE, PROVIDING A LOT OF ROOFTOP LANDSCAPING TO REALLY MAKE IT GREEN.

ESPECIALLY LARGER PLANTERS FOR LARGER PLANT MATERIAL.

THIS IS THE ROOFTOP OF BUILDING 14 OR PHASE THREE, AGAIN PROVIDING COVERED OUTDOOR SEATING NEXT TO THE POOL.

BOCCE BALL A YOGA LAWN.

AGAIN, INTERIOR TO THIS SPACE WOULD BE THE BUILDING 14 GYM AND AS WELL AS A CLUB ROOM.

WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ARCHITECTURE.

OBVIOUSLY, I'M NOT AN ARCHITECT.

WE DO HAVE THE ARCHITECT HERE TONIGHT, SO HE'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

BUT THERE ARE SOME UNIQUE FEATURES THAT WE'D LIKE TO POINT OUT ABOUT THE BUILDING.

13 STORIES.

IT'S A TALL BUILDING.

IT'S THE TALLEST POINT OF THE BUILDING, ABOUT 133FT, WITH SOME OF THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES UP TO ABOUT 144.

BUT THE DESIGN HAS BEEN REALLY INCREDIBLE.

SOME SMALLER FEATURES, LIKE THE FIRST ONE WE'LL TALK ABOUT ON THE GROUND FLOOR OF THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE BUILDING.

WE HAVE INTEGRATED A PEDESTRIAN SIDEWALK UNDER THE BUILDING, PROVIDING A COVERED CONNECTION.

THERE IS A CLOSER VIEW OF IT.

AGAIN, IT PROVIDED AN ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR A COVERED REFUGE AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPE OUT EXTERIOR OF THAT.

THE, BRINGING IN PEDESTRIAN SCALE.

THERE'S A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ELEMENTS.

REALLY PLAYING WITH THE MATERIALITY OF THE BUILDING, BRINGING IN DIFFERENT COLORS AND TEXTURES AT VARYING HEIGHTS DEPENDING ON THE USE.

SO WE DO HAVE SOME GROUND FLOOR UNITS UP FRONT, THE STREET PROVIDING DIRECT ACCESS TO PROVIDING PEDESTRIAN SCALE ELEMENTS TO THE BUILDING, REALLY PROVIDING SCALE TO THE OVERALL BUILDING ITSELF AND SOME OF THOSE LOCATIONS.

AND HERE'S THAT ROOF HEIGHT AT THE TALLEST POINT OF THE BUILDING THAT WE SPOKE ABOUT.

BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE RENDERINGS OF THE BUILDING AND THE VIEWS, THIS IS A REALLY UNIQUE, VIEW OF THE BUILDING.

YOU CAN SEE THOSE VERTICAL ELEMENTS TO BREAK UP THE MASSING THERE IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS ALONG EVERY FACADE OF THE BUILDING, AS WELL AS THE DESIGN OF THE BALCONIES.

WE'RE ALL REALLY FAMILIAR WITH YOU SEEING THE ROWS OF UNIFORM BALCONIES ON BUILDINGS, WHICH REALLY PREVENTS YOU FROM CREATING SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

AND SO WHAT ALBERT AND HIS TEAM WERE ABLE TO DO IS CREATE THESE EXTENDED BALCONY EYEBROWS TO DRAW YOUR EYE AWAY FROM THESE UNIFORM ROWS OF OF WINDOWS. AND THOSE EACH ONE OF THOSE BALCONIES AT THE UNIT WOULD BE DIVIDED BY AN OPAQUE PRIVACY SCREEN.

SO YOU WOULDN'T HAVE PEOPLE RUNNING BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THEIR NEIGHBOR'S BALCONY.

AGAIN, THIS IS A VIEW FROM THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING, THOSE VERTICAL ELEMENTS TO BREAK UP THE MASSING OF THE BUILDING, AS WELL AS THE DIFFERENT ROOF HEIGHTS AND MATERIALS USED.

LOOKING AT PHASE THREE OR BUILDING 14, AGAIN, A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

EACH PHASE WAS DESIGNED A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

SO IT'S NOT JUST ONE GIANT MASS.

YOU HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF VARYING ARCHITECTURE BETWEEN THE THREE USING SIMILAR, METHODS TO BREAK UP THE BUILDING, BUT JUST DOING IT IN A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT WAY, BRINGING IN VARYING MATERIALS SUCH AS ARTIFICIAL GREEN WALL, USING THAT TO SCREEN THE GARAGE.

SO IT'S REALLY HARD TO TELL WHERE THE PARKING STRUCTURE IS.

YOU'RE BRINGING IN VERTICAL, FRAMES TO FRAME OUT THAT ARTIFICIAL GREEN WALL.

SO IT'S NOT JUST A GIANT MASS.

YOU'RE CREATING SOME TEXTURE AND THEN CARRYING THAT BOTH ON THE INTERIOR OF THE BUILDINGS AS WELL AS THE EXTERIOR.

ON THE GROUND FLOOR.

THE MAIN ENTRANCES, YOU CAN SEE SOME OF OUR SIGNAGE.

WE'RE NOT PROPOSING GIANT SIGNS ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING WHERE THEY'RE BRINGING THAT DOWN TO THE GROUND FLOOR LEVEL, INTEGRATING SOME OF THAT ALTERNATE MATERIALS, SUCH AS THE ARTIFICIAL GREEN WALL.

YOU WILL NOTICE ON PHASE TWO OR BUILDING 13, WE DO HAVE AN ELEVATED WALKWAY ACROSS THE MAIN ENTRANCE.

AND HERE'S A VIEW FROM THE EAST LOOKING AT THE SAME ELEVATION AGAIN, UTILIZING THOSE DIFFERENT MATERIALS AND AS MANY FACETS AS POSSIBLE, AND THEN UNIQUELY BRINGING IN SOME MURALS AS WELL TO BREAK UP THE GROUND FLOOR, PROVIDE SOME INTEREST.

ALBERT IS TEAMED WITH A REALLY GREAT JOB OF MONETIZING ALMOST EVERY SPACE AROUND THE BUILDING TO REALLY CREATE A NICE DEVELOPMENT.

TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT PHASING.

AS I SAID, PHASE TWO BEING BUILDING 13 WOULD BE THE FIRST BUILDING CONSTRUCTED.

THIS SITE PLAN REPRESENTS THAT INTERIM CONDITION UNTIL BUILDING 14 IS COMPLETED.

OBVIOUSLY BUILDING 11 A GETS DEMOLISHED, PRECEDING THE CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDING 14, BRIEFLY, THE DESIGN GUIDELINES WERE UPDATED ACCORDINGLY.

WHICH MANY OF THE SITE DESIGN STANDARDS WERE MODELED AND THE DESIGN GUIDELINES AND THEN SIGNAGE.

[01:55:01]

THEY ARE LOCATED AT THE MAIN ENTRANCES, AS WELL AS A SIGN ON THE NORTHWESTERN CORNER.

THE SIGNS WERE DONE VERY TASTEFULLY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE BUILDING, REALLY, ADDING TO IT TO THE DESIGN.

AND REALLY, THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR YOU TONIGHT.

LIKE I SAID, THERE'S A NUMBER OF OTHER THINGS THAT WE COULD GO THROUGH, BUT I'VE ALREADY TALKED A FAIR BIT.

SO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND WE APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

OBVIOUSLY YOU WERE RIVETED.

THAT WAS GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SAMANTHA. NATALIE, DO WE HAVE A STAFF PRESENTATION THIS EVENING OR ANY COMMENTS YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? NO, GEORGE SAID IT ALL, SO I'LL KEEP IT SIMPLE.

THIS PROJECT FULLY SUPPORTS AND FURTHERS THE VISION OF THE TOD, AND SO STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THIS PROJECT.

THAT WAS A GREAT SENTENCE. OKAY, I DON'T HAVE ANY COMMENT CARDS, SO LET'S CLOSE.

THIS HEARING MAY GET A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE RESOLUTION SEVEN 2024.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION SEVEN 2024.

REAL QUICK GO. MADAM MAYOR, I WILL SECOND THAT.

THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH.

LET'S. LET'S CHAT, SHALL WE? MARCY, I SEE YOUR LOOK LIKE YOU'RE READY TO GO.

OKAY. SURE.

I'LL START. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

YOU DID ANSWER SOME OF MY QUESTIONS AS YOU WERE WORKING YOUR WAY THROUGH THE THE PRESENTATION.

WAYFINDING. YOU TALKED ABOUT SIGNAGE, AND I PERSONALLY LIKE WAYFINDING SIGNS.

I FIND IT'S VERY, VERY HELPFUL.

AND THROUGHOUT THE PARKING STRUCTURE, IS THERE WAYFINDING SIGNS SO THAT IT'S CLEARLY MARKED? OBVIOUSLY THE EXITS ARE FOR, BASED ON CODE, BUT, YOU KNOW, EXITING OUT TO, YOU KNOW, THIS WAY TO GO TO THAT STREET AND THIS WAY TO GO NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND WEST. IT IS ABSOLUTELY GOING TO BE PART OF THE PACKAGE FOR THE BUILDINGS, FOR THE DIRECTING PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE SITE.

WE DON'T HAVE SPECIFIC INDIVIDUAL MONUMENT SIGNS OR WAYFINDING SIGNS AROUND THE SITE, BUT WITHIN THE GARAGE AS WELL.

YEAH. OKAY.

PERFECT. BECAUSE I'M I'M ONE FOR THAT.

NOT AGAINST SIGNAGE, FOR SIGNAGE, WHICH I KNOW IS A LITTLE UNIQUE.

YOU BROUGHT UP, I WAS REVIEWING THE LANDSCAPE PLAN.

AND I DIDN'T NOTICE A LOT OF THIS.

BUT THEN WHEN I SAW THE RENDERING, I SAW A LOT OF ROYAL PALM TREES ADJACENT TO VEHICULAR AREAS AND PEDESTRIAN AREAS.

AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, OBVIOUSLY, ROYAL PALMS BECOME HUGE.

THE PALM FRONDS ARE EXTREMELY HEAVY AND DANGEROUS IN VEHICULAR AND PEDESTRIAN, YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY'RE VERY CLOSE TO PEDESTRIAN, ESPECIALLY ON WINDY DAYS.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE WOULD BE STRAPPED IF THEY ARE ADJACENT TO PEDESTRIAN AND VEHICULAR, WAYS.

ABSOLUTELY. OKAY.

AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THE STRAPS ARE MAINTAINED SO THEY DON'T RUST AND THEN DEFEATS THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE STRAPS.

YES, MA'AM. YOU TALKED ABOUT PET WASTE STATIONS BECAUSE I FIGURED A THOUSAND UNITS ARE GOING TO HAVE AT LEAST 500 DOGS.

SO I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU'RE PUTTING THAT OUT THERE.

I'M SURE THAT PHASING OF THIS PROJECT IS SOMEWHAT BASED ON THE OCCUPANCY OF THE EXISTING BUILDINGS THAT HAVE TO BE DEMOLISHED.

I'M GUESSING THAT THE LEASES WILL BE TERMINATED OR THEY'LL VACATE.

BUT IS IS THERE LIKE AN ESTIMATED DATE OF WHEN PHASE TWO AND PHASE THREE WOULD OCCUR? SO PHASE TWO CAN PROCEED RELATIVELY QUICKLY? WE DON'T HAVE ANY REAL HOLD BACKS ON THAT.

PHASE THREE, ULTIMATELY, IT'S GOING TO COME DOWN TO THE ABSORPTION RATE OF THE FIRST TWO PHASES.

OBVIOUSLY, WE DON'T WANT TO PUT 1000 UNITS IN THE MARKET AT ONE TIME.

SO I'M CONSTRUCTION TIME ALONE WILL GIVE US A PRETTY GOOD LAG TIME.

SO WE DON'T HAVE AN ESTIMATED DATE OF COMPLETION FOR PHASE THREE.

BUT ULTIMATELY IT WILL COME DOWN TO RATE OF ABSORPTION.

I LOVE THE AMENITY PACKAGES.

I THINK THAT'S GOING TO SELL THE UNITS.

IT'S VERY SPECIAL AND UNIQUE AND THAT'S WHAT WE, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WANT IN THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS.

SO I APPRECIATE ALL OF THOSE AMENITIES AND LOOK FORWARD TO THE GRAND OPENING SO I CAN SEE THEM IN, IN PERSON.

THE DETAIL OF THE PARKING STRUCTURE, OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S ALSO UNIQUE.

AND, CAN YOU KIND OF WALK ME THROUGH LIKE WHEN YOU HAVE GUESTS PARK ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF THE PARKING STRUCTURE AND IN THE SURFACE PARKING SPACES THAT ARE IN THE FRONT THERE A LITTLE BIT.

BUT, WHAT ABOUT LIKE, AMAZON PACKAGES AMAZON DELIVERY BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY HOUSE GETS THAT.

AND, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THAT'S GOING TO BE THROUGHOUT THIS BIG MASS OF BUILDINGS AND UNITS.

ABSOLUTELY. GREAT QUESTION.

SO WE DO HAVE THOSE DEDICATED LOADING ZONES FOR BOTH BUILDINGS.

I MENTIONED THEY WOULD BE FOR RESIDENT MOVE IN.

THEY WOULD ALSO BE FOR DELIVERY TRUCK DRIVERS.

WE LIKELY WILL SEE THEM WANT TO USE SOME OF THOSE RIDESHARE DROP OFF AND PICK UP LOCATIONS.

WE KNOW AMAZON DRIVERS LIKE TO PARK AS CLOSE AS THEY CAN, RUN IN AND RUN OUT, SO THAT IS AN ADDED BENEFIT OF HAVING THOSE DROP OFF LOCATIONS, ALTHOUGH NOT THEIR PRIMARY

[02:00:08]

WE WILL HAVE SIGNAGE TO SAY THAT IT'S FOR RIDESHARE VEHICLES, BUT WE ARE PROVIDING THOSE DEDICATED LOADING ZONES, INTERIOR, BOTH BUILDINGS.

AND IS THERE LIKE A SECURITY PERSON THAT'S OR A CONCIERGE OR SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, DIRECTING IF THERE WERE QUESTIONS OR DELIVERIES UPS OR IN, YOU KNOW, THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, WHICH THEY LIKE TO DO, THERE ARE FRONT OFFICE PERSONNEL, SOMETHING I DIDN'T MENTION IN THE PRESENTATION BECAUSE I'VE MENTIONED IT BEFORE IN OTHER PRESENTATIONS. THE RICHMOND GROUP, THEY DESIGN, BUILD AND MANAGE ALL OF THEIR PROPERTIES, FOR THE ONES THAT THEY DO BUILD.

BUT THAT MANAGEMENT STRATEGY TOP DOWN WHERE THEY'RE INVOLVED IN EVERY PORTION OF THE BUILDING, ALLOWS THEM TO ADDRESS ISSUES SUCH AS THAT REALLY QUICKLY.

SO THEY HAVE MANAGEMENT STAFF IN THE BUILDING AT ALL TIMES.

THEIR FRONT OFFICE PERSONNEL LIKELY WOULD BE THE FIRST ONES TO RESPOND TO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT IT'S NOT A THIRD PARTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY.

IT'S THE RICHMOND GROUP.

SO IT'S THEIR IT'S THEIR PROJECT, IT'S THEIR PROPERTY.

THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S TOP NOTCH 100% OF THE TIME.

SO THEIR RESPONSE TIME IS EXCELLENT.

AND I FULLY UNDERSTAND THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF PGA STATION.

I HOPE THAT THEY ALL COME TO FRUITION.

OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE TO HAVE DENSITY IN THIS AREA.

IT'S WHAT IT WAS MEANT TO BE FROM A LONG TIME AGO TO OBVIOUSLY TO NOW.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT BIGGER PILL TO SWALLOW BECAUSE THAN THE LAST PETITION THAT WE SAW AT SEMERENKO, BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A BIG MASS OF BUILDINGS.

SO IT GAVE ME A LITTLE PAUSE WHEN I WAS REVIEWING THIS JUST BECAUSE OF THAT.

I WISH THERE WERE A LITTLE BIT MORE UNDULATION WITH THE BUILDING, BUT IT'S I THINK IN REAL LIFE IT'S GOING TO BE SPECTACULAR BECAUSE OF THE SHADOWS AT THE BALCONIES AND THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES, DO HAVE ON THERE.

BUT I DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF CONCERN ABOUT OVERSATURATION OF MULTIFAMILY BECAUSE A THOUSAND UNITS PLUS WHAT WE JUST APPROVED.

BUT I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU MENTIONED THE PHASING AND EVERYTHING ELSE, BECAUSE THAT WOULD HELP WITH THAT POSSIBILITY OF OVERSATURATING THE MARKET WITH MULTIFAMILY. BUT I DO ALSO APPRECIATE THE WORKFORCE HOUSING.

AS I SAID, THE LAST PETITION, IT'S VERY NEEDED IN THIS CITY.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT COMPONENT OF THIS.

AND THAT KIND OF IS THE, I GUESS, THE ICING ON THE CAKE FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT.

THAT'S IT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

BERT, I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL BUILDING.

GREAT PRESENTATION.

SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT.

I'M OKAY WITH THE HEIGHT AND THE ALONG THE TOD, OBVIOUSLY IN THE CORRIDOR.

THAT'S WHAT I'VE ALWAYS SAID.

AND THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO STICK WITH.

THAT'S WHERE OUR HEIGHT NEEDS TO BE.

I'M JUST GOING TO THROW THIS OUT THERE ON THE PUD WHEN IT'S FULLY DEVELOPED.

LET'S JUST SAY FOR EVERY INTENDED USE THAT'S OUT THERE, WHAT IS THE POTENTIAL NUMBER OF JOBS WITHIN THAT PUD? OH, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

I DON'T HAVE THAT FIGURE OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, AND IF I WAS GOING TO GIVE A NUMBER, IT WOULD BE PURE CONJECTURE.

SO, I DON'T KNOW IF DAN I KNOW, I KNOW, IT'S A LOT.

I MEAN, I JUST, YOU KNOW, 3000 IS A GOOD NUMBER WITH A THOUSAND RENTAL UNITS.

I MEAN, THAT'S TO ME THAT'S A DECENT RATIO AND MAYBE THAT'S A NUMBER WE'LL LOOK AT.

SO THAT'S A QUESTION THAT'S KIND OF HOW I'M LOOKING AT IT.

BUT IT'S THERE'S A LOT OF BUSINESSES IN THERE.

THERE'S OTHER ONES TO BE DEVELOPED IN THAT PUD.

SO FOR FOR REFERENCE, FOR REFERENCE, THE TBC CORPORATION HAS MORE THAN 1000 JOBS IN THAT PARK ALREADY.

AND ANOTHER OFFICE, POTENTIAL OFFICE BUILDINGS AND OTHER THINGS IN THERE.

SO THREE COULD BE THE NUMBER.

SO 3 TO 1 RATIO TO ME IS PRETTY ACCEPTABLE.

SO JUST TRYING TO PREPARE YOU FOR THE NEXT TIME WHEN YOU'RE UP HERE AND I ASK THAT QUESTION.

SO BUT I APPRECIATE IT.

THANK THANK THANK THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

VERY DETAILED. VERY WELL DONE.

THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT. SO LET'S.

I DO HAVE SOME THINGS ACTUALLY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT SUSTAINABILITY PAGE THAT GOT RID OF ABOUT EIGHT OF MY QUESTIONS.

THAT WAS WONDERFUL.

IT'S THIS IS JUST EXTRAORDINARY TO WATCH.

SO THANK YOU ALL FOR UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE CITY HAS PUT OUT.

THIS IS A 20 YEAR PROGRESSIVE VISION.

THE TOD MASTER PLAN WAS WAS A BOLD VISION 20 YEARS AGO.

AND NOW, AS CANDICE SAYS, IT'S COMING TO FRUITION RIGHT HERE IN OUR REDEVELOPING URBAN CORE.

IT'S PHENOMENAL TO TO SEE THE WORKFORCE HOUSING GOING IN EXACTLY WHERE WE WERE HOPING IT COULD GO, WITH THE ABILITY FOR PEOPLE TO UTILIZE MULTIMODAL WAYS OF GETTING AROUND ACCESS.

AND THIS REALLY INTEGRATES THE RIDERSHIP THAT WE NEED FOR HIGH SPEED RAIL.

IT'S ALL HAPPENING RIGHT WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE.

AND SO THANK YOU. THAT WAS A GREAT PRESENTATION.

ANYTHING ELSE? ONE MORE THING.

HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BRING A TRAIN TO THIS AREA.

ALL RIGHT LET'S CLOSE THE HEARING.

[02:05:01]

I DIDN'T NEED TO DO THAT. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. AND PERFECT.

FIVE ZERO. WELL DONE.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

OKAY, WE DO HAVE TO GO BACK, THOUGH, AND HAVE, PATTY, GO AHEAD AND READ RESOLUTION EIGHT 2024 AS WELL.

[VIII.f. *RESOLUTION 8, 2024 – PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) AMENDMENT TO NEWLY COMBINED PGA STATION PUD. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA, APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE PGA STATION PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) SITE PLAN TO ALLOW 620 MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN PROPOSED POD D (FORMERLY KNOWN AS GARDENS STATION WEST), INCLUDING 62 WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS, THE NEW REVISED AND COMBINED PGA STATION PUD BEING APPROXIMATELY 37.64 ACRES AND LOCATED SOUTHEAST OF THE INTERSECTION OF PGA BOULEVARD AND RCA BOULEVARD, WEST OF THE FLORIDA EAST COAST (FEC) RAILWAY, AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN; PROVIDING CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.]

THANK YOU SO MUCH, PATTY.

LET'S GO AHEAD AND OPEN THIS HEARING.

WE DO NEED TO GO AHEAD AND DECLARE EX PARTE AGAIN.

MARCIE. I'LL DO THE SAME THING IN EX PARTE FOR RESOLUTION EIGHT.

RESOLUTION NINE, RESOLUTION SEVEN WITH DON HERRING.

SAME FOR ME, SAME FOR ME, SAME FOR ME.

CARL. ALL RIGHT.

AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY COMMENTS CARD.

LET'S COMMENT CARDS. LET'S CLOSE THE HEARING, MAKE IT A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE.

[VIII.g. *RESOLUTION 9, 2024 – SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR A 230-LOT SINGLEFAMILY SUBDIVISION. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA, APPROVING A SITE PLAN FOR A 230- LOT SINGLE-FAMILY HOME RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION ON APPROXIMATELY 108.19 ACRES KNOWN AS POD 10 WITHIN THE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT (PARCEL A) OF THE AVENIR PLANNED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (PCD), THE SUBJECT SITE BEING LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF COCONUT BOULEVARD, APPROXIMATELY 0.70 MILES NORTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF COCONUT BOULEVARD AND AVENIR DRIVE, AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN; PROVIDING CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.]

THE CITY COUNCIL, THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA, APPROVING A SITE PLAN FOR A 230 LOT SINGLE FAMILY HOME RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION ON APPROXIMATELY 108.19 ACRES, KNOWN AS POD TEN WITHIN THE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT PARCEL A OF THE AVENIR PLAN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PCD, THE SUBJECT SITE BEING LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF COCONUT BOULEVARD, APPROXIMATELY 0.70 MILES NORTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF COCONUT BOULEVARD AND AVENIR DRIVE, AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN, PROVIDING CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE FOR OTHER PURPOSES.

THANK YOU. PATTY, LET'S OPEN THIS HEARING AND EX PARTE AGAIN.

LET'S GO THE OTHER SIDE JUST FOR FUN.

CARL. OKAY.

NONE FOR ME, NONE FOR MERCY.

KEN TUMA ANY.

THAT'S IT. THAT'S MY EXPERT.

ALL RIGHT. LOVELY, I HAVE NONE.

AND WE HAVE KEN TUMA FROM URBAN DESIGN STUDIO COMING BACK UP TO THE PODIUM.

HELLO, SIR. GOOD.

GOOD EVENING KEN TERM WITH URBAN DESIGN STUDIO ADDRESS, 610 CLEMATIS STREET, WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA 33401.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE TODAY ON BEHALF OF LANDSTAR FOR POD TEN WITHIN THE AVENIR DEVELOPMENT, YOU'RE ALL VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE AVENIR DEVELOPMENT.

THE PARCEL THAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY IS THE FOURTH ONE.

THERE ARE THREE MORE TO GO AFTER THAT, SO A LOT HAS OCCURRED IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS ON THIS SITE.

THE SUBJECT SITE IDENTIFIED HERE IN THE RED OVAL IS POD TEN.

YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE PCD AND ALL OF ITS APPROVALS AND ENTITLEMENTS.

THIS IS A CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN.

WELL, NOT AS CONCEPTUAL AS IT WAS BEFORE BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS STARTING TO GET LOCKED DOWN.

POD TEN IS RIGHT HERE.

COMING IN FRONT OF YOU IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS WILL BE POD 11 AND THEN ALSO POD.

THE LAST TWO REMAINING PODS WILL BE COMING BEFORE YOU SOMETIME AND HOPEFULLY WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR.

SO SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DEVELOPMENT OCCURRING IN AVENIR.

WHAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU THIS EVENING IS A SITE PLAN REQUEST OR A SITE PLAN APPROVAL, SPECIFICALLY JUST TO HORIZONTAL ELEMENTS.

THE VERTICAL ELEMENTS WILL COME BEFORE YOU AS A SEPARATE APPLICATION.

THE SITE IS 108 ACRES.

THE LOT SIZES ARE 230 LOTS.

THEY'RE SPLIT OF 77 AND ONE, 30 AND 77, AND ONE 40 FOOT DEPTH.

ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU IS THE SITE PLAN.

THAT OVERALL DENSITY IS 2.13 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE, PROVIDING SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OPEN SPACE ABOVE THE CODE AT 45%.

THERE ARE 53 ON STREET SPARK ON STREET PARKING SPOTS, WHICH ARE NOT A CODE REQUIREMENT SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE SITE FROM A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE STANDPOINT.

THE ENTRY POINT HERE COMING INTO THE SUBJECT SITE, YOU HAVE THIS LARGE LAKE.

THEN ALSO YOU HAVE THIS REALLY BEAUTIFUL FEATURE HERE IN THE MIDDLE, SIMILAR TO WHAT OCCURRED IN POD SIX, SEVEN AND EIGHT WHERE IT'S A LIGHT OVERLOOK, WHICH I'LL SHOW YOU A FEW MORE DETAILS IN A SECOND.

SO LONG STORY SHORT THOUGH, THE SUBJECT SITE IS 230 LOTS MIXED BETWEEN TWO PRODUCT TYPES.

THERE ARE THREE ACCESS POINTS.

ONE IS THE MAIN ACCESS POINT.

GOING INTO THE SITE.

THERE IS A LEFT TURN MOVEMENT INTO THE SITE.

IT IS A GATED ENTRANCE POINT 142FT OF STACKING.

THERE ARE TWO LANES, BOTH VISITOR AND RESIDENT ACCESS ON THAT ENTRY POINT.

THE SECONDARY POINT IS A EGRESS POINT AND AN EMERGENCY ACCESS POINT.

HERE ON THE UPPER LEFT HAND SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN, UPPER RIGHT HAND SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN AND THE LOWER LEFT HAND SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN IS AN EMERGENCY ACCESS POINT ONLY FOR EMERGENCIES

[02:10:08]

IT IS AN ACCESS ON A WALL THERE TO ALLOW A CUT BREAK THROUGH THE WALL TO ALLOW ACCESS THROUGH THERE.

THE MAIN ENTRY, AS I JUST SAID A LITTLE EARLIER, FULL, RIGHT IN FULL, RIGHT IN AND OUT ON THE SITE.

RESIDENT TURNAROUND MAIL KIOSK.

VIEW OF GORGEOUS VIEW OF THE LAKE.

IT WILL BE AT THIS POINT WILL BE A VIDEO GATE GUARD, SIMILAR TO SOME OF THE OTHER COMMUNITIES IN AVENIR.

A PRETTY UNIQUE SYSTEM WHICH I FOUND TO BE REALLY USER FRIENDLY, AND IT ALLOWS FOR OPERATION OF THE GATES REMOTELY IN CASE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE GATES DON'T OPEN, IT ACTUALLY SENDS AN ALARM TO THE COMPANY THAT OPERATES THE GATE.

IT ALSO CAN MAN AND MANAGE THE OTHER GATE.

TWO, COMMUNITY AMENITIES YOU'LL SEE ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU.

WE HAVE THE THE MAIL KIOSK LOCATED IMMEDIATELY INTO THE COMMUNITY.

THERE'S ON STREET PARKING OR ON STREET PULL OFF SPACE RIGHT HERE SO PEOPLE CAN PULL IN, GET THEIR CAR.

JUST WHAT YOU'VE SEEN ON OTHER PROJECTS WITHIN AVENIR.

SO THAT'S THE MAIL KIOSK.

AND THEN WE HAVE COMMUNITY AMENITIES, WHICH ARE BOTH PASSIVE AND ACTIVE PARKS SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.

AS YOU KNOW, IN AVENIR, THERE IS A REQUIREMENT FOR A PARK AT A CERTAIN DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE HOME.

WE'VE MET ALL THOSE CRITERIA.

THIS IS THE COMMUNITY AMENITY THAT ON POD SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, WHICH IS THE PULTE POD.

WHEN YOU DRIVE OUT THERE, YOU'LL SEE THIS BEAUTIFUL LIGHT SEATING WALL AND THEN THE DIFFERENT SEATING AREAS.

IT'S REALLY BEEN VERY SPECTACULAR AND PEOPLE REALLY LIKE IT.

SO WE MIRRORED IT IN THIS COMMUNITY MADE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

THIS IS THE ACTUAL PICTURE OF THE EXISTING WALL.

AND THEN WE OVERLAID WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE ON THE NEW AREA.

AND YOU'LL GET A KIND OF A GOOD VIEW OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

YOU'VE GOT THESE LONG VIEWS DOWN THE LAKE.

IT'S REALLY A VERY SPECIAL PLACE.

AND I TELL YOU THAT ON THE ONE IN THE PULTE PROJECT, PEOPLE, I SEE PEOPLE SITTING OUT THERE ALL THE TIME.

IT'S A VERY SPECIAL, UNIQUE SPOT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

IT BECOMES A DESTINATION OF A SEATING AREA, TRAFFIC CALMING.

THERE ARE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF STOP SIGNS, PAVERS AND INTERSECTIONS, PAVERS AND EYEBROWS, THREE WAY STOPS AT ALL.

THE MAJOR, ALL THE MAJOR STOPS.

THE LONGEST ROAD HERE WITHOUT A STOP SIGN IS ABOUT 1500FT².

KIND OF THE STANDARD DISTANCE THAT YOU HAVE FOR A FOR A CUL DE SAC.

SO THAT'S THE LONGEST DISTANCE.

SO WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF STOP SIGN SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT.

WE CONFIRM THESE STOP SIGNS WITH OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER BEFORE THIS MEETING.

SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PAVER SPECIFICATIONS, BREAKING IT UP WITH VEHICLE AND SPECIFICALLY ON THE USING THE AVENIR.

X, WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN THE TOWN CENTER MIX.

SO ADJACENT BOUNDARIES.

IMMEDIATELY TO THE NORTH, THERE'S A 25 FOOT HIGH BUFFER, A 25 FOOT BUFFER, AND IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, WHICH IS BUILT TODAY AS PART OF PANTHER NATIONAL.

HERE ALONG NORTH, THE NORTH PROPERTY LINE IS AN EIGHT FOOT HIGH WALL.

SO SEPARATION BETWEEN THIS AND PANTHER BOULEVARD TO OUR PANTHER NATIONAL TO THE NORTH, AND THEN HERE ALONG COCONUT, THE STANDARD LANDSCAPE SECTION THAT YOU SEE THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, 40 FOOT ADJACENT TO THE ROAD, 15 FOOT ON THE COMMUNITY OF A WALL ON ON THE INSIDE OF THAT 15FT.

AND IF YOU RECALL, BACK IN 2016 WHEN THIS GOT APPROVED, THAT WAS A DIRECTION BY THE CITY COUNCIL TO HAVE THAT WALL FEATURE WITHIN THAT 15 FOOT AREA.

OTHER BUFFERS. THERE ARE BUFFERS HERE ADJACENT TO THE GL PARCEL HERE ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE.

IT'S A SIX FOOT HIGH WALL.

AND THEN ADJACENT TO, AS I SAID EARLIER, ADJACENT TO COCONUT BOULEVARD, A SIX FOOT HIGH WALL LANDSCAPING, SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF LANDSCAPING SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT.

ALL THE NATIVE TREES ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU, AND PALM TREES THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, WAY ABOVE THE REQUIRED LANDSCAPE POINTS.

SO IN SUMMARY, IN SUMMARY, THE THE ITEM IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY IS THE IS THE HORIZONTAL APPROVAL OF THE SITE WE HAVE SUBMITTED FOR AND WILL COME IN FRONT OF YOU FOR THE VERTICAL, FOR THE HOUSES AND THE ARCHITECTURE.

53 ON SITE PARKING, NO WAIVERS.

HAVE YOUR STAFF RECOMMENDATION.

APPROVAL, UNANIMOUS APPROVAL BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD.

AND HAVE OUR WHOLE TEAM ASSEMBLED HERE, INCLUDING REPRESENTATIVES OF LANDSTAR.

OUR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS ARE HERE, INCLUDING MRS. TUMA. MISTER MINOR ARE HERE.

THE WHOLE GANG IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. TUMA. ALL RIGHT.

OLIVIA. NATALIE, DO WE HAVE ANY STAFF PRESENTATION OR COMMENTS? NO, MADAM MAYOR, NO STAFF PRESENTATION.

LOVELY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I DO NOT HAVE ANY COMMENT CARDS, SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THIS HEARING.

MAY I GET A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE, PLEASE, MADAM MAYOR, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NINE 2024.

SECOND. THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH.

ANY DISCUSSION UP HERE? QUESTIONS OTHERWISE MARCIE MINOR.

FIRST, WE SHOULD GIVE KENNER, I THINK, A MEDAL FOR THE FASTEST PRESENTATION I THINK I'VE EVER HEARD HIM SAY.

SO. THAT'S A GOOD. LET'S SEE IF YOU CAN BEAT HIM.

WENDY'S READY FOR DINNER.

SO, KEN, I HAD TO MAKE THAT ONE QUICK.

YES. FIRST, JUST A REAL QUICK QUESTION ABOUT THE GATE.

[02:15:05]

IT'S A NOT A IS IT AN ARM THAT BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WITH A WHATEVER IT IS, 142FT OF STACKING, THAT'S SEVEN CARS, APPROXIMATELY, AND IT'S A MAIN BUSY ROAD.

SO I DON'T WANT CARS TO BE STACKED UP THERE.

IS IT LIKE SOME A GUEST WOULD GET LIKE A SCAN, WHATEVER THE QR CODE OR SOMETHING, AND THEN THEY CAN SCAN IT IF YOU CALL IN EARLIER.

THE SYSTEM IS VERY, VERY SOPHISTICATED.

SO THEY ACTUALLY GIVE THEY GIVE, YOU KNOW, IPHONE CODES THAT IF YOU'RE A GUEST AND YOU'VE CALLED IN EARLY WORKS LIKE THAT, THEY ALSO HAVE THE IT'S ACTUALLY A GUARD.

SO IF SOMEONE SHOWS UP IT ACTUALLY A VIDEO SCREEN COMES UP.

YOU SEE THE GUARD AND THE GUARD SAYS, OKAY, SHOW ME A VIRTUAL SHOW ME YOUR DRIVER.

YEAH, IT'S A VIRTUAL SHOW ME YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE.

PUT YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE IN OR THERE'S A SCAN CODE IF YOU IF YOU'VE BEEN PREVIOUSLY APPROVED.

YEAH, IT'S IT'S A REALLY UNIQUE SYSTEM.

OKAY. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU THAT IT'S APPRECIATE IT'S NOT A CHEAP IT'S A VERY EXPENSIVE SYSTEM BECAUSE SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY MANNING IT.

RIGHT. I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THAT UP INTO YOUR PRESENTATION.

THAT'S THAT'S GOOD.

AND THEN ALSO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE STOP SIGN GRAPHIC.

I APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE SPEEDING, AS WE HEARD IN THE VERY BEGINNING OF OUR COUNCIL MEETING, IT IS AN ISSUE, NO MATTER WHERE WE ARE, NO MATTER WHAT NEIGHBORHOOD IT IS, NO MATTER HOW BIG AND NO MATTER HOW SMALL.

AND IT BECOMES AN ISSUE OF THE HOA AFTER THE DEVELOPER LEAVES.

AND I KNOW I'VE LIVED IT, AND I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THAT UP, AND I APPRECIATE YOU ADDING THE STOP SIGNS.

IT'S REALLY HARD TO SEE ON A TINY LITTLE STOP SIGN ON THE PLANS WHEN I'M ZOOMING IN MY, YOU KNOW, COMPUTER SCREEN.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT. COUNCILWOMAN, I DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT.

I FORGOT TO MENTION THE SPEED LIMITS.

15 MILES AN HOUR. YEAH.

STREET. YEAH, I KNOW THAT'S WHAT THE POSTED SIGN IS, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT ANY OF THE PEOPLE DO.

BUT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T HELP THAT.

AFTER REVIEWING THE LANDSCAPE PLANS, IT APPEARS THAT THE BACK TO BACK LOTS, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME OPEN SPACES AND BETWEEN, BEHIND LOT, 226 AND 229 AND THOSE AREAS RIGHT OVER THERE, I'D LIKE TO SEE BETWEEN NOW AND PERMITTING, YOU JUST WORK WITH STAFF TO, PROVIDE SOME LANDSCAPE MATERIAL THAT WILL WITHSTAND WET FEET LIKE WAX MYRTLE OR MYRSINE.

BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S WHERE THE DRAINAGE IS BACK THERE.

AND, I JUST WANT TO DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM WALKING BACK FROM THE POCKET PARK INTO THAT LINEAR, BACK TO BACK LOTS.

AND I KNOW YOU CAN WORK WITH STAFF THERE.

VERY GOOD TO WORK WITH, BUT JUST TO PROHIBIT AND DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM GOING BACK THERE.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME AREA GENERALLY.

OKAY. EXACTLY THAT AREA.

EXACTLY. IT'S JUST FROM SECURITY I WOULD.

WANT SOMEBODY WALKING BACK INTO MY BACKYARD.

YOU KNOW, WE COULD PROBABLY ACHIEVE THAT WITH SOME LOW PLANTING, BUT WE STILL NEED TO HAVE ACCESS TO MAINTAIN.

YES, ABSOLUTELY. AND THERE IS A AS YOU MENTIONED, THERE IS A STORM SEWER THAT GOES UP THE MIDDLE.

SO JUST SOMETHING THAT'S, YOU KNOW, FRIENDLY FOR UTILITIES.

AND THERE ARE SEVERAL SPECIES OUT THERE.

I'M SURE YOU CAN FIND SOMETHING AND WORK WITH STAFF TO DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM WALKING BACK THERE THROUGH PLANT MATERIAL AND THE, BACKUP MATERIAL.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE, OR IF YOU LOOKED AT THE SECTION DETAILS, THERE WERE PARALLEL PARKING, DETAILS IN THE 56 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY.

AND CAN YOU JUST POINT OUT WHERE THOSE WERE LOCATED? IT WAS HARD TO SEE.

YEAH, THE PARALLEL PARKING SPOTS.

SOME ARE HERE.

OKAY. SOME ARE HERE.

SOMEWHERE DOWN HERE ON THE SIDE OF THIS HOUSE.

AND THEN THERE'S A COUPLE HERE, TOO.

BUT THEY ARE HARD. THEY'RE PEPPERED THROUGHOUT THE SITE.

I LIKE THAT, YEAH. THE DISTRIBUTION WAS DEFINITELY THOUGHT THROUGH.

AWESOME. OKAY. VERY GOOD.

THANK YOU. THAT WAS IT I APPRECIATE IT.

GREAT. MARCIE. ALL RIGHT. ANYONE ELSE? NOPE. ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THIS HEARING.

MAY I GET A MOTION AND A SECOND I DID IT.

I'M SO SORRY, GUYS. I'M A LITTLE TIRED.

LET'S TAKE A VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES. FIVE ZERO.

THREE MORE TO GO, GUYS, I KNOW, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

THREE MORE TO GO. I'M A LITTLE SLEEPY.

TWO MORE, TWO MORE, TWO MORE.

NO, TWO MORE POTS.

THREE MORE POTS.

THREE MORE. OH, I SEE AFTER THIS.

YES, I AM SLEEPY.

ALL RIGHT. RESOLUTION TEN.

HERE WE GO. RESOLUTION TEN 2024 AND RESOLUTION 11 2024 WILL BE A COMBINED PRESENTATION.

[VIII.h. *RESOLUTION 10, 2024 – A REQUEST TO MODIFY THE MIRASOL CLUBHOUSE PARCEL BOUNDARY. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE MIRASOL PLANNED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (PCD) MASTER PLAN, SPECIFICALLY EXPANDING THE INTERNAL MIRASOL CLUBHOUSE BOUNDARY, THE MIRASOL PCD BEING GENERALLY LOCATED NORTHWEST OF PGA BOULEVARD AND FLORIDA’S TURNPIKE, AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.]

SINCE BOTH RESOLUTIONS ARE QUASI JUDICIAL, EX-PARTE WILL BE GIVEN AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN FOR EACH RESOLUTION.

PATTY. IF YOU'D BE SO KIND AS TO READ THE TITLE FOR RESOLUTION TEN.

RESOLUTION TEN 2024 RESOLUTION.

THE CITY COUNCIL. THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA AMENDING THE MIRASOL PLAN.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PCD MASTER PLAN, SPECIFICALLY EXPANDING THE INTERNAL MIRASOL CLUBHOUSE BOUNDARY.

THE MIRASOL PCD BEING GENERALLY LOCATED NORTHWEST OF PGA BOULEVARD AND FLORIDA'S TURNPIKE AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE FOR THE PURPOSES. THANK YOU SO MUCH, PATTY.

[02:20:02]

AND WE'RE DECLARING EX PARTE AGAIN.

LET'S START WITH CARL.

DANA, I SPOKE TO KEN TUMA.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. MARCIE KEN TUMA OKAY.

AND I HAVE NONE MYSELF.

SO WE HAVE A PETITIONER PRESENTATION TONIGHT.

WE HAVE LAURA SANDS FROM URBAN DESIGN STUDIO, PLEASE.

HELLO. GOOD EVENING, MADAM MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS.

I'M GOING TO DO MY BEST TO KEEP THIS AS BRIEF AS POSSIBLE.

I JUST GOT A LITTLE NUDGE FROM NATALIE AS WELL.

YOU SHOULD BE REALLY HAPPY TO SEE ME TONIGHT.

I'M SAVING YOU FROM A THIRD KEN TUMA PRESENTATION.

YES, I DID, I DID USE THIS JOKE AT PLANNING.

WE'LL GIVE YOU AN EXTRA FIVE MINUTES FOR THAT.

BUT WE ARE ALL VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO DISCUSS SOME VERY EXCITING IMPROVEMENTS AT MIRASOL.

I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE WITH WORKING WITH THEM OVER THE LAST TWO PLUS YEARS ON THE DESIGN AND REDESIGN OF THIS PROJECT, AND THIS WHOLE GROUP OF SMILING GENTLEMEN BEHIND ME TONIGHT ARE ALSO VERY PROUD OF THIS PROJECT.

SO THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME AND AGAIN.

I'M GOING TO BE AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE.

MIRASOL IS A 2300 ACRE PCD.

NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE WHOLE THING.

WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS ON THE CLUBHOUSE TONIGHT, WHICH WE ARE PROPOSING TO EXPAND TO 29.4 ACRES.

THERE ARE TWO REQUESTS IN FRONT OF YOU TONIGHT.

THE FIRST IS FOR A PCD AMENDMENT TO INCREASE THE CLUBHOUSE BOUNDARY TO 29.4 ACRES, INCREASING BY APPROXIMATELY 0.72 ACRES.

WE ARE ALSO PROPOSING A MODIFICATION TO ONE OF THE LAKES ON THE CLUBHOUSE PROPERTY.

THE SECOND REQUEST IN FRONT OF YOU TONIGHT IS FOR A SITE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR TWO NEW BUILDINGS, AS WELL AS THE ASSOCIATED PARKING AND LANDSCAPING IMPROVEMENTS WITH THAT, AS WELL AS THE RELOCATION OF THE PUTTING GREEN TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEW BUILDING.

THE PCD AMENDMENT, THE 0.72 ACRE EXPANSION IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY IN GREEN, ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU, AND THE LAKE THAT IS BEING PROPOSED TO BE REDUCED IS WITH THE RED X ON THE SCREEN.

TRIED TO KEEP THAT PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.

I'M GOING TO FOCUS MOST OF THIS ON THE SITE PLAN EXISTING OUT THERE TODAY IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER.

THIS IS THE SUBJECT AREA THAT I'M GOING TO FOCUS ON.

THE REST OF THE PRESENTATION IS THE PRO SHOP AND THE CART BARN.

WE ARE PROPOSING TO DEMOLISH THIS PORTION OF THE CLUBHOUSE PROPERTY AND EXPAND INTO THE YELLOW ON THE SCREEN.

WE ARE TECHNICALLY IMPACTING THE GOLF COURSE ACREAGE, BUT WE ARE NOT IMPACTING ANY OF THE GOLF OPERATIONS BESIDES THE PUTTING GREEN, WHICH WE ARE JUST RELOCATING FURTHER NORTH FROM THE BUILDING. THIS IS THE NEW PROPOSAL IN FRONT OF YOU FOR THE SITE PLAN AMENDMENT.

THE NEW GOLF AMENITY BUILDING, WHICH IS 40,881FT², AS WELL AS THE NEW MAINTENANCE BUILDING, WHICH IS ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THE SCREEN, YOU'LL SEE TWO DIFFERENT COLORS OF PAVEMENT IN FRONT OF YOU.

THE FIRST IS THAT BEIGE COLOR.

THE THE ENTIRE AREA IN BEIGE IS A GOLF CART ONLY CIRCULATION AREA.

THAT IS WHAT'S OUT THERE TODAY, BUT IT IS ARGUABLY A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT FROM WHAT THEY HAVE TODAY, AND WE ARE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE 63 ADDITIONAL GOLF CART SPACES WITHIN THIS AREA TO SERVE MIRASOL'S MEMBERSHIP.

THE AREA IN GRAY IS ADDITIONAL REGULAR VEHICLE PARKING SPACES.

EXISTING OUT THERE TODAY.

YOUR PRO SHOP AND CART BARN, THE CLUBHOUSE ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, WHICH IS NOT PART OF THIS PETITION.

NO CHANGES ARE BEING PROPOSED.

WITH THAT. THE PROPOSAL IN FRONT OF YOU TONIGHT FOR THE NEW GOLF AMENITY BUILDING.

YES. IT'S A NICE LITTLE TRANSITION THERE, THE NEW GOLF AMENITY BUILDING SHOWING THE NEW PUTTING GREEN ON THE BOTTOM LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN, AS WELL AS THE NEW MAINTENANCE BUILDING BEHIND THAT.

I WANT TO POINT OUT HERE THE SEAMLESS ARCHITECTURE, THE WAY THAT THIS BUILDING WAS DESIGNED TO BRING IT INTO 2024 ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS, BUT STILL MIMICKING THE REST OF THE ARCHITECTURE WITHIN MIRASOL.

WE ARE REDESIGNING THIS WHOLE AREA FOR THE GOLF MEMBERS, SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S SAFE AND CONVENIENT ACCESS.

FOR THAT, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE EXISTING WESTERN CONNECTION POINT ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN, AS WELL AS A NEW CONNECTION POINT TO THE EXISTING VEHICLE CIRCULATION AREA ON THE SOUTH, AND THEN THE NORTHERN CONNECTION, WHICH LEADS OUT TO BOTH OF THEIR GOLF COURSES.

IF YOU WERE TO APPROACH THIS AREA IN YOUR CAR, YOU COULD USE THE VALET, WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE ORANGE ARROWS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.

THE NEW GOLF AMENITY BUILDING, AS I MENTIONED, 40,881FT² MAKE THIS SUPER SIMPLE.

THE ENTIRE FIRST FLOOR IS FOR GOLFERS.

PRO SHOP THE GRAB AND GO STARTER CART BARN BAG STORAGE THIS BUILDING WILL ACTUALLY HOUSE GOLF CARTS INSIDE OF THE BUILDING ON THE FIRST FLOOR.

THE SECOND FLOOR IN ITS ENTIRETY, WILL BE A NEW RESTAURANT WITH PANORAMIC VIEWS OF THE SUNRISE AND THE SUNSET COURSES AT MARISOL.

THE ARCHITECTURE. I'M GOING TO BLOW THROUGH THIS.

IT REALLY SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, AND WE'LL SEE THIS IN THE RENDERINGS IN JUST A MOMENT HERE.

THE USE OF STONE VENEER TO CREATE THAT PEDESTRIAN SCALE WHEN YOU APPROACH THE BUILDING.

MY PERSONAL FAVORITE PIECE OF THIS BUILDING IS THE GOLF CART PASSAGE ON THE FIRST FLOOR.

IF YOU LOOK ALL THE WAY ON THE BOTTOM PART OF THE SCREEN, YOU'LL SEE THAT BLUE IN THE BACKGROUND, AND WE'LL SEE A RENDERING IN JUST A MOMENT.

HOW THAT WORKS. ADDITIONAL SIDES OF THE BUILDING.

THIS IS THAT VIEW THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, WHERE YOU CAN SEE THAT GOLF CART PASSAGEWAY REALLY PROVIDING CONVENIENT ACCESS FOR THE GOLFERS.

THAT IS WHAT THIS ENTIRE PROJECT IS DESIGNED AROUND TO INCREASE THE OFFERINGS FOR MARISOL'S MEMBERSHIP.

ANOTHER VIEW OF THE BUILDING THIS IS IF YOU WERE STANDING BEHIND THAT NEW MAINTENANCE BUILDING FACING NORTHWEST.

[02:25:01]

SO THIS IS GOING TO BE REALLY OFFICE AND EMPLOYEE ONLY.

THEY WILL BE ABLE TO HOUSE SOME OF THEIR GOLF CART AND UTILITY CARTS WITHIN THIS BUILDING.

THIS WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO TRAVEL THROUGH BOTH SIDES OF THE BUILDING FOR THEIR FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES VIEWS OF THE BUILDING TO MIMIC THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE MAIN GOLF AMENITY BUILDING TO PROVIDE CONSISTENT ARCHITECTURE.

EVEN THOUGH IT'S A MAINTENANCE BUILDING, THEY STILL WANTED TO KEEP IT THE ELEVATED LOOK.

AND THE VIEW OF THE MAINTENANCE BUILDING.

YOU'LL SEE THE ROLL UP DOOR HERE, WHICH IS WHERE THE GOLF CARTS CAN GO IN AND OUT OF THE BUILDING.

AGAIN, THIS IS FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES ONLY.

THIS WILL NOT BE OPEN TO THEIR MEMBERSHIP.

I THINK I DID A GOOD JOB, SO HOPEFULLY I GET A THUMBS UP FROM NATALIE WITH THAT.

BUT WE WE DO HAVE UNANIMOUS RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD, AND WE DO HAVE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL.

AND WE HAVE OUR ENTIRE TEAM ASSEMBLED HERE TONIGHT TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU NATALIE SMILING.

THIS IS GOOD. GOOD JOB.

DO WE HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER FROM OUR STAFF TONIGHT? NO, MADAM MAYOR, WE DON'T.

THE STAFF DOESN'T HAVE A PRESENTATION TODAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALL RIGHT.

WE DO NOT HAVE ANY COMMENT CARDS, SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE HEARING.

MAY I GET A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

THANK YOU. MARCY. DANA, ARE YOU SECONDING? OKAY. WONDERFUL.

ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS COMING UP FROM ANYONE? I SEE MARCY, ARE YOU. I HAVE ZERO QUESTIONS.

YOU DID SUCH A GOOD JOB ON YOUR PRESENTATION.

I KNOW IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE, BUT.

ZERO QUESTIONS.

IT'S ONE OF THE BEST PRESENTATIONS I'VE HEARD IN A LONG TIME, SO CONGRATULATIONS.

NO. THE ONLY COMMENT I HAVE IS THANK YOU FOR THE NOISE BARRIER AND THE WALL ON THE RESIDENTS ON THE ONE SIDE.

SO THAT'S IMPORTANT.

AND I KNOW MATT AND HIS TEAM TAKE CARE OF THOSE 1100 MEMBERS LIKE NO OTHER.

SO CONGRATULATIONS.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL ADDITION AND CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE END PRODUCT.

BERT JUST WANTS AN INVITATION, I THINK.

BUT TO THE GRAND OPENING.

YOU KNOW IT IS. IT'S WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WAY TO PROVIDE MORE OFFERINGS FOR YOUR RESIDENTS.

AND I WANT TO THANK MATT LAMBERT AND KEN PAUL FOR BEING HERE FOR A LONG NIGHT.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR SHOWING UP AND WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE IT.

YOU CAN INVITE US. IT'D BE FINE.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE.

ANY OPPOSITION? MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

MOVING RIGHT ALONG.

DO WE HAVE ANY ITEMS OF COUNCIL ACTION, DISCUSSION OR INTEREST? WE HAVE ONE MORE. OH GOLLY.

THAT'S RIGHT. THANK YOU GUYS.

YEP TALLAHASSEE BRAIN I KNOW.

SORRY. RESOLUTION 11.

SORRY ABOUT SKIPPING OVER THAT, YOU GUYS.

AND ANYTHING.

NOW FOR COUNCIL ITEMS.

[X. ITEMS FOR COUNCIL ACTION/DISCUSSION AND ITEMS OF INTEREST]

CARL, CLOSES THE HEARING.

AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN KIND OF WEIGHING ON ME EVER SINCE RON SENT US.

THE RESPONSE FROM DAVE RICKS, THE MEMO THAT HE SENT IN RESPONSE TO RON'S MEMO IN REGARDS TO THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL ON MILITARY, AND ALSO THE PILOT PROGRAM ON DONALD ROSS ROAD, AS YOU KNOW, AND IT'S KIND OF I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS A LOT.

AS YOU KNOW, WE GET A LOT OF COMMENTS ABOUT TRAFFIC.

WE GET A LOT OF COMMENTS ABOUT CONGESTION.

WE GET A LOT OF COMMENTS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WHERE IS THE TRAFFIC, WHERE'S NOT.

[02:30:02]

AND IT WAS A BUST.

IT WAS A IT WAS VERY, TROUBLESOME WHEN A PEDESTRIAN HIT THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK SIGNAL, IT PUT EVERYTHING OUT OF WHACK.

AND IT WAS AN ISSUE.

I LITERALLY TRAVEL FROM 95, ON DONALD ROSS ROAD EVERY SINGLE DAY TO ALTERNATE A-1-A.

THAT'S THE ROAD I TRAVEL EVERY SINGLE DAY.

THE LIGHTS ARE ACTUALLY VERY WELL TIMED.

THEY DO WELL.

THEY ALTON HAS A NEW IN OUR COUNTY FLASHING LEFT TURN LIGHT, WHICH ACTUALLY HELPS VEHICULAR TRAFFIC FLOW MUCH BETTER BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE TO SIT THERE AND WAIT.

AND WE JUST PUT IN A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE AT THE FEC RAILWAY BECAUSE OF QUIET ZONES.

AND I KNOW OUR CITY, MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS IN OUR CITY HAVE BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY, TRYING TO GET QUIET ZONES, BECAUSE THAT'S THE MOST COMMON I RECEIVE FROM FRENCHMAN'S CREEK, FROM EVERGREEN, FROM THE ISLES, FROM MANY COMMUNITIES IS WHEN ARE WE GETTING QUIET ZONES? I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT.

WHY ARE WE MESSING UP? WHY ARE WE MESSING AND PUTTING A PILOT PROGRAM THAT WE KNOW DIDN'T WORK ON NORTH LAKE ON DONALD ROSS ROAD? I FEEL LIKE WE'RE TRYING TO GET QUIET ZONES.

WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE ACCIDENTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THESE, YOU KNOW, WHEN BRIGHTLINE IS, YOU KNOW, NOW IN FULL FORCE TRAVELING, YOU KNOW, BACK AND FORTH. AND, YOU KNOW, HERE WE HAVE NOW THE NEW GATE SYSTEM, THE NEW PEDESTRIAN SYSTEM.

AND NOW WE'RE DOING A PILOT PROGRAM TO MESS THAT WHOLE THING UP.

I WOULD REALLY LOVE FOR YOUR CONSENSUS COUNCIL TO DIRECT STAFF TO WRITE A LETTER TO THE COUNTY ENGINEER ASKING, REQUESTING THAT HE MOVES THIS PILOT PROGRAM TO ANOTHER MUNICIPALITY.

TRY IT SOMEWHERE ELSE.

I DON'T THINK THAT WE NEED TO HAVE IT HERE IN OUR CITY.

I FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WE KNOW IT DIDN'T WORK.

PUT IT SOMEWHERE ELSE.

LET SOMEONE ELSE BE THE GUINEA PIG.

I DON'T THINK IT NEEDS TO BE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S, LET'S HEAR FROM OUR COUNCIL.

AND RON, I DON'T OR SOMEBODY.

IF YOU WANT TO WEIGH IN, I'M HAPPY TO HEAR YOUR.

WAS THAT A DONALD ROSS OR HOOD ROAD? DONALD ROSS. DONALD ROSS.

OH. HOOD ROAD. I'M SORRY. HOOD ROAD.

RIGHT. AND AND TO CLARIFY, WHEN YOU SAY WE YOU'RE REFERRING TO WHAT THE CITY HAS DONE, BUT THE COUNTY IS THE ONE PUTTING IN THE 100.

LET'S MAKE THAT VERY CLEAR SO THAT PEOPLE LISTEN TO THE MEETING AND THEN PUT IT IN THE PAPER, AND THEY MIGHT THINK THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CITY.

THEY'RE NOT DOING IT. WE DIDN'T DO IT.

THE COUNTY DID IT. AND IT WAS IT AFFECTED OUR CITY.

THANK YOU IN A NEGATIVE WAY, IF I MAY COMMENT, THAT WAS THE INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC SYSTEM.

WE'RE NOW GOING TO THE SMART TRAFFIC SYSTEM.

DO WE KNOW WHAT THAT IS? IDENTIFY WHAT THAT IS.

SO I UNDERSTAND AND SHARE YOUR CONCERN OF PARTICULARLY, YOU KNOW, THE RAILROAD CROSSING CONCERNS ME NOT KNOWING HOW THE SMART SYSTEM IS GOING TO WORK.

RIGHT. I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE ANYTHING HAPPEN WITHIN THE NEXT 30 DAYS, WHICH I COULD VERIFY IF YOU WOULD LIKE.

YES, I WOULD INVITE, COUNTY ENGINEER DAVID RICKS HERE TO EXPLAIN TO THE COUNCIL HOW THIS SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO WORK AND WHAT, LIKE FAIL SAFE SYSTEMS THERE ARE UP TO PROTECT OUR TRAVELING PUBLIC.

IF YOU'D LIKE, I COULD EXTEND AN INVITATION TO HIM TO COME UP NEXT MONTH.

COULD WE ADD SOMETHING TO THAT AS WELL? HE WAS HERE BEFORE AND HE LIED ABOUT NORTH LAKE.

DIDN'T EVEN WORK. CAN WE ADD SOMETHING TO THAT, THOUGH, TO THAT REQUEST AS WELL AS THAT, WE THE CITY WAS NOT INFORMED ABOUT THE SMART, INTELLIGENT, WHATEVER THEY WANT TO CALL IT, SYSTEM BEING EVEN INSTALLED IN OUR CITY UNTIL WE READ THE PALM BEACH POST ON A SATURDAY.

THAT IS CORRECT. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE.

AS IT'S NOT. I'M NOT YELLING AT YOU, BUT I FEEL I FEEL STRONGLY I'M YELLING AT YOU, BUT I'M YELLING AT YOU.

AND IF WE'RE GOING TO TRULY TRY TO COLLABORATE, WHICH IS ALL WE KEEP ASKING FOR.

YES. WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR HOW THIS SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO WORK AND WHY? PRESENTATION OF WHY HOOD ROAD OF ALL WERE CHOSEN.

AND I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR IT BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF CONCERNS AND I APOLOGIZE.

I KNOW ALTON AND DONNA ROSS, BUT THE SAME THING WITH HOOD ROAD, IT FLOWS PERFECTLY.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHY WE'RE MESSING WITH SOMETHING THAT'S GOOD.

THEY ARE MESSING. THAT'S WHAT WE DO.

I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY'RE MESSING WITH SOMETHING THAT IS WORKING PERFECTLY FINE.

AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE RAILROAD CROSSINGS AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND HAVING A FAILURE AND AN ACCIDENT WHERE WE DON'T NEED IT BECAUSE WE ALSO WE HAVE A SAFETY CALCULATOR THAT WE'RE HOPING GETS BETTER, NOT WORSE.

IN ORDER TO, AND OBTAIN QUIET ZONES.

SO. YES, PLEASE, IF WHATEVER, WHATEVER YOU SUGGEST, I WILL CONTACT, MARIA MARINO'S OFFICE AND DAVID RICKS AND VIRGINIA BAKER AND LET THEM KNOW THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A PRESENTATION SO THEY COULD UNDERSTAND WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED.

[02:35:06]

I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH.

ABSOLUTELY. I WOULD DO START IT TOMORROW.

THANK YOU. SIR.

DOES ANYONE ELSE ON COUNCIL.

I HEAR YOU, CARL. DO YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING OR.

BURT? NO.

I JUST WANT TO RECOGNIZE BETTY SEILER, WHO WAS PASSED AWAY LAST MONTH.

SHE WAS 92.

AND CHARLOTTE.

YEAH, SHE WAS. SHE WAS VERY ACTIVE IN THE PALM BEACH GARDENS.

CARL THING THAT WE USED TO HAVE DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON OVER AT BURNS ROAD, AND SHE DID IT FOR 12 YEARS, AND SHE WAS VERY DEDICATED TO THAT EVENT EVERY YEAR.

I REMEMBER. AND, SHE'S JUST A GREAT, GREAT, FRIENDLY PERSON.

AND SHE PASSED AWAY LAST MONTH AT 92.

SO I JUST WANT TO RECOGNIZE HER AND AND PASS ALONG OUR CONDOLENCES TO HER FAMILY.

THAT'S SO SAD. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

YEAH. GREAT.

GREAT. THANK YOU.

THAT'S IT. THANKS, BARTON. ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT, I'LL CONCLUDE THAT.

MAX, DO WE HAVE A CITY ATTORNEY REPORT? COME. ALL RIGHT, LET'S, ADJOURN THIS MEETING.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
