THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA, APPROVING A SITE PLAN AMENDMENT TO CONSTRUCT A 26,200 SQUARE FOOT MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING WITHIN THE 3.11 ACRE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PARCEL OF THE HEALTH PARK AT AVENIR THAT IS LOCATED WITHIN THE WORKPLACE DISTRICT.

PARCEL D OF THE AVENIR PLAN. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PCD LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF NORTHLAKE BOULEVARD, APPROXIMATELY 0.35 MILES WEST OF COCONUT BOULEVARD, AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN, PROVIDING CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, PROVIDING ONE WAIVER, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.

THANK YOU. PATTY. I'M GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK FOR ANY EXPERTISE.

NONE. NONE. NONE. AND I DON'T HAVE ANY EITHER.

AND NOW WE'LL CALL THE PETITIONER. HELLO, GEORGE, IF YOU'D LIKE TO BEGIN YOUR PRESENTATION.

GOOD EVENING. FOR THE RECORD, GEORGE MISSIMER WITH KOTLAR AND HEARING, HERE TONIGHT ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT AND PROPERTY OWNER, AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN. WE'RE HERE TONIGHT REQUESTING YOUR APPROVAL OF A SITE PLAN AMENDMENT TO THE APPROVED SITE PLAN FOR THE HEALTH PARK AT AVENIR FOR THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AREA THAT WAS APPROVED AS PART OF THE PREVIOUS PLAN.

OUR DEVELOPMENT TEAM IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PREVIOUS APPLICATION.

SO WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE THE SAME PARTNERS IN DESIGN.

AND IT REALLY HELPED IN MAKING SURE THAT THIS PHASE TWO WAS EXTREMELY CONSISTENT WITH PHASE ONE.

SO AGAIN, WE ARE AMENDING THE 13 ACRE SITE PLAN TO ADD A NEW 26,000 SQUARE FOOT MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING.

JUST BRIEFLY THE LOCATION IT IS WITHIN PARCEL D OF THE AVENIR PCD.

SO WE ARE JUST ON THE NORTH SIDE OF NORTH LAKE BOULEVARD. AND AS WE DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY, ONE OF THE SIGNIFICANT PORTIONS OF THIS APPROVAL WAS THAT WE WERE PROVIDING A NEW HEALTH FACILITY THAT FILLED A HOLE IN THE SERVICES IN THE AREA.

SO LOOKING AT THE OVERALL AVENUE OR MASTER PLAN, IT IS IN THE SOUTHERN SECTION RIGHT OFF NORTH LAKE WITHIN PARCEL D OR THE WORKPLACE PARCEL. THE ACCESS INTERIOR. THERE'S MULTIPLE ACCESS POINTS THROUGH THE WORKPLACE DISTRICT.

THIS IS ALL CONSISTENT WITH THE PREVIOUS MATERIALS THAT YOU SAW BEFORE JUST GOING OVER IT.

TO SUMMARIZE, THE SUBJECT SITE IS ON THAT NORTHERN PORTION OF THE APPROVED SITE PLAN.

SO IT'S APPROXIMATELY THREE ACRES OUT OF THE ORIGINAL 13.

AND SO THIS IS YOUR PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SITE PLAN.

THE SITE DATA JUST GOING THROUGH SOME OF THE NUMBERS.

WE ARE CONSISTENT WITH ALL LAND DEVELOPMENT CODES AND REGULATIONS, BOTH OF THE CITIES AS WELL AS THE AVENIR DESIGN GUIDELINES.

SO HERE'S THE NEW SITE PLAN. IN THE AREA OF THE 26,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE BUILDING IS DESIGNED CONSISTENT WITH THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, PUTTING THE OFFICE BUILDING DIRECTLY UP ON DRIVEWAY NUMBER THREE WITH A PARKING IN THE REAR OF THE BUILDING.

IN TERMS OF ACCESS, WE'RE NOT MODIFYING THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED ACCESS POINTS.

WE ARE PROVIDING A FUTURE CROSS ACCESS TO THE NORTH FOR ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT IS DEVELOPED JUST TO THE NORTH OF THIS SITE.

FROM A PEDESTRIAN STANDPOINT, THERE'S AN EXTENSIVE NETWORK OF SIDEWALKS CONNECTING BOTH TO THE DRIVEWAY THREE AS WELL AS TO NORTH LAKE BOULEVARD AND THEN OUR EXTENSIVE AMENITY SIDEWALK GOING AROUND THE LAKE AND CONNECTING EACH BUILDING BOTH TO THE HEALTH PARK OR TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD HOSPITAL AND THEN TO EACH OTHER.

WE ARE PROPOSING AN ADDITIONAL COVERED PARKING, CONSISTENT IN DESIGN WITH THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED COVERED PARKING AREAS.

LIKEWISE, SOME OF OUR PEDESTRIAN AMENITIES THERE WERE SUBSTANTIAL AREAS APPROVED AS PART OF THE PHASE ONE SITE PLAN,

[00:30:08]

INCLUDING THE LAKE, THE INDIVIDUAL PLAZAS NEXT TO THE BUILDING.

WE ARE PROPOSING A NEW PEDESTRIAN PLAZA NEXT TO THE NEW MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING, AS WELL AS SOME NEW PEDESTRIAN COVERINGS WITHIN THE INTERNAL SIDEWALKS. AND THOSE DETAILS ARE ALL CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED.

THE ARCHITECTURE OF WHICH IS THE SAME AS WHAT'S PREVIOUSLY APPROVED.

THIS BUILDING IS EXTREMELY SIMILAR TO THE ONE RIGHT NEXT DOOR. IT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT BIGGER, BUT IN TERMS OF MATERIALS, COLORS, THE HEIGHT, EVERYTHING'S VERY CONSISTENT.

A REALLY BEAUTIFUL PROJECT. FROM A LANDSCAPE PERSPECTIVE, WE ARE CONSISTENT IN BOTH DESIGN AS WELL AS PLANT PALETTE.

SO VERY CONSISTENT THROUGH THE WHOLE PROJECT, PRIMARILY NATIVES VERY SUSTAINABLE DESIGN.

AND IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY BEAUTIFUL. WE ARE ASKING ONE WAIVER.

IT'S A SIGNAGE WAIVER FOR A NEW EMERGENCY SIGN.

THIS IS IN THE PHASE ONE AREA. SO IN TERMS OF LOCATION, IT'S WITHIN THE ROUNDABOUT IN FRONT OF THE MAIN ENTRANCE.

AND THIS WAS BROUGHT ON BY A REQUEST FROM JUPITER MEDICAL CENTER, WHO WILL BE THE OPERATOR OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD HOSPITAL.

AND THEY WERE CONCERNED THAT THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT ENTRANCE FOR PATIENTS ARRIVING IN THEIR OWN VEHICLES.

IT WAS REALLY CLEAR THEY DIDN'T WANT PEOPLE GOING TO THE AMBULANCE ENTRY AT THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING, WHICH THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GAIN ACCESS INTO THE BUILDING.

SO THEY WANTED TO MAKE IT REALLY CLEAR. THE FRONT ENTRANCE THERE AT THE ROUNDABOUT IS WHERE THE EMERGENCY ENTRANCE IS.

SO THAT'S THE REQUEST FOR THE SIGN. IT IS LARGER.

THE REQUEST FOR THE WAIVER IS BECAUSE IT IS A LARGER SQUARE FOOTAGE THAN WHAT'S PERMITTED FOR A DIRECTORY SIGN OR DIRECTIONAL SIGN.

SO IT'S JUST OVER TEN SQUARE FEET IN SIZE. SO THAT IS THE WAIVER REQUEST.

AND THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION. I CAN GO THROUGH A NUMBER OF OTHER DETAILS, BUT WE'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. DOES STAFF HAVE A PRESENTATION AS WELL? GOOD EVENING, MADAM MAYOR AND COUNCIL. NO ADDITIONAL STAFF. PRESENTATION. STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NINE.

THANK YOU. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE PETITIONER? NO. IT LOOKS GOOD. I YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS LOVE SEEING THE DEVELOPMENT IN AVENIR AND IT ALL COMING TOGETHER.

SO I BELIEVE IT FITS. YOU KNOW, THE LOOK AND FEEL AND DESIGN AND AND THE ESTHETICS OF EVERYTHING.

SO THANK YOU. IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE MORE DEVELOPMENT HAPPENING OUT WEST IN GENERAL.

SO THAT AND THERE WAS A PRESENTATION TODAY AT THE PGA CORRIDOR BY ROSA SCHECHTER WHO'S THE DEVELOPER FOR AVENIR.

AND TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH IS GOING TO BE THERE AND IS NOW THERE TO SOME EXTENT FOR ALL OF THE RESIDENTS OF AVENIR AND PALM BEACH GARDENS AND EVEN THE RESIDENTS TO THE WEST TO UTILIZE, WHETHER IT'S THE GROCERY STORE GETTING REBUILT OR NOW THE ACCESS TO EMERGENCY CARE.

AS FAR AS THE WAIVER FOR AN EMERGENCY SIGN. YOU KNOW, WE'VE ALL BEEN ON THE WAY TO AN EMERGENCY, AND SURE IS ALWAYS NICE TO BE ABLE TO SEE A BIG SIGN TO KNOW WHERE TO PARK.

SO NO ISSUE WITH THE WAIVER WHATSOEVER. THIS IS GREAT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS WITH PREVIOUS MAYOR LITT HERE? I HAVE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE SUSTAINABILITY MEASURES AS WELL. WE ALWAYS LOVE TO SEE THAT.

THANKS. THANK YOU. I AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUES HERE ON THE COUNCIL AND IT IS VERY MUCH NEEDED USE OUT WEST, WHICH WILL ALSO HELP REDUCE TRAFFIC ON NORTH LAKE.

SO IT'S GOOD TO HAVE THESE ADDITIONAL USES THAT ARE NEEDED TO SUPPORT THE WESTERN RESIDENTS.

THANK YOU. I DO NOT I DO NOT HAVE ANY COMMENT CARDS ON THIS ITEM.

SO I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK FOR A MOTION.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NINE 2025.

SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. WE HAD OUR DISCUSSION.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. MOTION CARRIES FOUR ZERO. THANK YOU.

PROVIDING WAIVERS, PROVIDING CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. THANK YOU.

PATTY. I'M GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK FOR ANY EXPERTISE.

I'LL START WITH VICE MAYOR. I SPOKE TO THE APPLICANT AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES.

THANK YOU. NONE. NONE. AND I HAVE NONE. NO EXPERTISE AS WELL.

AND HELLO, MISS NICOLE. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS NICOLE PLUNKETT WITH CUTLER AND HERRING AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.

[00:35:05]

TONIGHT'S PETITION IN FRONT OF YOU IS RESOLUTION 71 2025, WHICH IS LEGACY PLACE MASTER SIGNAGE PROGRAM.

AND SO WITH ALL OF THE HAPPENINGS AND REFRESHING WITH LEGACY PLACE THROUGH THE PAST FEW YEARS, THEY'VE MADE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT UPDATES TO REALLY BRING IN SOME VERY IMPACTFUL TENANTS, AND THEY HAVE A COUPLE MORE COMING IN IN THE FUTURE AS WELL, JUST TO REVITALIZE THE CENTER.

AS MANY OF THE DIFFERENT COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS HERE IN PALM BEACH GARDENS ARE DOING. AND SO WITH THE REFRESHING OF THE PREVIOUS LANDSCAPE AREAS, REFRESHING OF PARKING SPACES, THIS MASTER PLAN REALLY FITS IN AS THAT NEXT PIECE OF THE REFRESHING OF THE SITE TO REALLY MAKE IT A VERY DESIRABLE DESTINATION, EVEN MORE DESIRABLE DESTINATION THAN IT IS TODAY.

AND VERY DESIRABLE TO BRING IN DIFFERENT TENANTS HERE INTO THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS.

AND SO OUR REQUESTS WITHIN THIS RESOLUTION IS TO AMEND THE MASTER SIGNAGE PROGRAM FOR LEGACY PLACE.

AND WITH THAT, WE'RE ALSO REQUESTING FOR WAIVERS FOR THE DIFFERENT SIGNAGES, WHICH I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH.

I ALSO WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT I HAVE TWO LOVELY GUESTS NEXT TO ME TONIGHT.

CAITLIN GRIFFIN AND GUSSIE GORDON, BOTH WITH HUDSON AND ADVISORS, ARE WITH THE OWNERSHIP TEAM AT LEGACY PLACE.

AND THEY FLEW DOWN FROM NEW YORK CITY TO BE HERE WITH US ON THIS VERY, VERY RAINY THURSDAY.

SO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. AND THEY'LL BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY OWNERSHIP OPERATIONAL QUESTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ABOUT LEGACY PLACE, THEY CAN ANSWER AS WELL.

AND SO WITH OUR WAIVER REQUESTS JUST VERY QUICKLY EACH WAIVER AND WE'LL GO THROUGH EACH ONE THROUGH A VISUAL, WHICH WILL MAKE A BIT MORE CLARITY ON IT, BUT JUST VERY QUICKLY WAIVER REQUESTS.

NUMBER ONE IS WE'RE REQUESTING ONE ADDITIONAL TENANT IDENTIFICATION ON OUR GROUND SIGNS.

WAIVER NUMBER TWO IS AN INCREASE OF ALLOWED HEIGHT FOR OUR DIRECTORY SIGNS.

RESIGNS. WAIVER NUMBER THREE IS AN INCREASE OF THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE COPY AREA FOR OUR VEHICLE.

DIRECTIONAL SIGNS AND WAIVER NUMBER FOUR IS RELATED TO OUR DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE.

LEGACY PLACE IS LOCATED AT THE CORNER OF PGA BOULEVARD, AN ALTERNATE A-1-A, AND ALSO JUST ON THE EAST SIDE OF INTERSTATE.

I-95 AND LEGACY PLACE WAS APPROVED BACK IN 2001 AS A PLANNED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, WHICH INCORPORATES JUST A HIGH NUMBER OF DIFFERENT MIXED USE COMMERCIAL OFFICE SPACE, RESTAURANTS, AND AGAIN, A LOT OF VERY DESIRABLE RESTAURANTS.

AND OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, YOU'VE SEEN A COUPLE OF NEW TENANTS COME THROUGH, INCLUDING EO'S FITNESS YOGA JOINT JET JET SET PILATES.

TAMPA GENERAL IS CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF DOING CONSTRUCTION ON THEIR TENANT SUITE.

AND OF COURSE, ATV'S IS ALSO UNDER CONSTRUCTION AS WELL.

AND SO GOING THROUGH EACH OF THE SIGNAGES, I'M GOING TO START WITH THE GROUND SIGNS. WITHIN THE SLIDE YOU SEE THE PHOTOGRAPH OF THE EXISTING GROUND SIGNS AND THE PROPOSED GROUND SIGNS. THIS PARTICULAR TYPE OF SIGN IS SIMPLY REPLACING WHICH IS ALREADY EXISTING.

WE'RE NOT PROPOSING ANY NEW GROUND SIGNS WITH THIS PETITION.

WE'RE SIMPLY REPLACING WITH NEW AND ITS EXACT LOCATIONS AND REALLY PROVIDING FOR AN UPDATED COLOR PALETTE, SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE A LOT MORE COMPLEMENTARY WITH THE NEW PAINTING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING AT LEGACY PLACE AS WELL.

SO THIS AGAIN, IT'S ALL PART OF THIS BIG, FULL VISION THAT CONTINUES TO MOVE FORWARD.

AND THIS IS JUST ONE OF THOSE PUZZLE PIECES. AND YOU'LL SEE ON THE GRAPHIC HERE WE ARE PROPOSING FOR SIX TENANT SIGN SPACES AS FIVE ARE PERMITTED.

AND SO WAIVERS. AND PART OF THAT REQUEST TO IS THAT THERE ARE SO MANY TENANTS THAT ARE INTERNAL TO LEGACY PLACE, AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE FRONTAGE ON PGA BOULEVARD.

AND SO THAT REALLY ALLOWS IT TO AGAIN, BE A DESIRABLE ITEM FOR TENANTS COMING INTO LEGACY PLACE, BUT ALSO ALIGNS WITH THE SUCCESS OF THE FUTURE OF THOSE TENANTS AS WELL.

WITH OUR DIRECTIONAL SIGNS, WE DO HAVE THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DIRECTIONAL SIGNS.

THE FIRST ONE I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT IS A VALET DIRECTIONAL SIGN.

WHEN WE WORKED WITH CITY STAFF ABOUT A YEAR AGO ON THE NEW VALET, WHICH IS ALREADY COMPLETED OVER AT THE BUILDING WE NEEDED TO ADDRESS THE VALET DIRECTIONAL SIGNS BECAUSE SOMETHING THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT WITHIN LEGACY PLACES.

I KNOW WE'VE ALL DRIVEN THROUGH THERE AND WONDERED, HOW DO WE GET TO FROM POINT A TO POINT B? AND AGAIN, THIS VALET DIRECTIONAL SIGN WILL BE REALLY CRITICAL IN BRINGING FOLKS OFF OF PGA BOULEVARD AND SOME OF THOSE MAIN ROADS TO GET THEM TO THAT VALLEY SAFELY AND QUICKLY AND NOT HAVE THEM KIND OF ROLL AROUND THE SITE.

AND THE REQUESTS FOR THE WAIVER IS AN INCREASE IN THE PERMITTED HEIGHT FOR THIS PARTICULAR SIGN.

THE NEXT TYPE OF SIGN IS THE VEHICLE DIRECTIONAL SIGN.

WE ARE PROVIDING FOR 11 SIGNS, AND AGAIN THEY'RE JUST REPLACING THE EXISTING.

AND SO WITH THESE UPDATES WE ARE PROVIDING FOR WAIVERS FOR AN INCREASE IN THE PERMITTED HEIGHT AND ALSO IN THE MAXIMUM COFFEY AREA.

[00:40:05]

AND YOU'LL SEE IN THE MASTER SIGNAGE PROGRAM THAT THERE ARE KIND OF TWO VERSIONS OF THIS SIGN. ONE OF THEM HAS A SLIGHTLY LARGER COPY AREA JUST TO PROVIDE FOR MORE TENANT NAMES UNDERNEATH. AND THE OTHER THING YOU CAN KIND OF SEE FROM LOOKING AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH HERE, THAT THE EXISTING LETTER HEIGHTS OF THE EXISTING SIGNS ARE A LITTLE BIT SMALLER.

SO WE'RE INCREASING THE LETTER HEIGHTS TO HAVE BETTER VISIBILITY FOR THOSE VEHICLES THAT ARE COMING THROUGH LEGACY PLACE.

AND THEN WE'RE PROVIDING FOR A NEW TYPE OF SIGN.

THIS ONE'S CALLED A DISTRICT PYLON DIRECTIONAL SIGN.

NOW THIS TYPE OF SIGN HERE IS TO REALLY KIND OF BREAK LEGACY PLACE INTO BIGGER PIECES.

SO ON THE SOUTHERN WESTERN PORTION OF LEGACY PLACE.

WE HAVE MORE OF THOSE BIG BOX STORES, SO WE HAVE THE BEST BUY, THE EOS FITNESS.

TOTAL WINE CONTAINER STORE, AND SO THAT BREAKS IT INTO THE SOUTH SIDE.

AND THEN THE NORTH SIDE BECOMES SOME OF THOSE SMALLER TENANT SUITES, SOME OF THOSE MORE SPECIALTY SUITES.

WHERE AGAIN, JUST TO PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL I'M GOING TO, I'M GOING TO CALL IT GEORGE BECAUSE HE GAVE ME A REALLY A REALLY GOOD TERM TO USE ON THIS.

HE CALLED IT ADDITIONAL NAVIGATIONAL TOOLS, WHICH I AGREE WITH, THAT IT TRULY IS AN ADDITIONAL NAVIGATIONAL TOOL.

AND IN THE EVENINGS, THOSE BLUE STRIPS ON THE THE SIDES WITHIN THE GRAPHICS THERE AND THERE WAS A NIGHTTIME GRAPHIC IN YOUR PACKET, THOSE LIGHT UP AS WELL. SO AGAIN, JUST AN ADDITIONAL NAVIGATIONAL TOOL TO HELP FOLKS WHO ARE VISITING LEGACY PLACE FIND THEIR WAY AROUND.

AND THEN WITH OUR DIRECTION, DIRECTIONAL DIRECTORY SIGNAGE FOR PEDESTRIANS, WE ARE PROVIDING FOR SIX NEW SIGNS TO REPLACE THE EXISTING.

AND AGAIN, THE WAIVER HERE IS JUST RELATED TO INCREASING THE PERMITTED HEIGHT TO ALLOW FOR READABILITY AND COMFORT WITH PEDESTRIANS THAT ARE UTILIZING THOSE SIGNS. WE'RE PROVIDING FOR UPDATES TO THE PARKING GARAGE SIGNS AS WELL.

THERE IS NO WAIVERS REQUESTED WITHIN THESE PARKING GARAGE SIGNS, BUT WE ARE PROVIDING FOR GARAGE BLADE SIGNS.

ALSO FOR PARKING SIGNS, FOR ENTRANCE AND EXIT SIGNS.

AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF ADDITIONAL ENHANCEMENTS THAT WE, AS THE APPLICANT, ARE COMMITTING TO WITHIN THIS REQUEST.

WE ARE WE ARE WORKING THROUGH REPAINTING ALL OF LEGACY PLACE WITH A MORE MODERN COLOR PALETTE.

WE RECENTLY WORKED WITH STAFF ON A MINOR MINOR ADMINISTRATIVE AMENDMENT IN RECENTLY GOT APPROVAL ON THAT, AND PAINTING HAS ALREADY COMMENCED ON THE ENTIRE LEGACY PLACE.

AND WE ANTICIPATE THIS WORK TO BE COMPLETED IN ABOUT TEN WEEKS.

AND THIS WAS ALSO A CONDITION OF APPROVAL, WHICH WE'RE KIND OF ALREADY GETTING STARTED ON, BECAUSE IT'S AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF THIS FUTURE OF LEGACY PLACE.

ITEM NUMBER TWO IS THAT ALL LIGHT FIXTURES WITHIN THE PARKING GARAGE WILL BE REPLACED AND UPDATED.

AND AGAIN, I BELIEVE THAT'S ANOTHER CONDITION OF APPROVAL AND LEGACY.

PLACE IS ALREADY WORKING ON GETTING THAT SET UP AND GETTING THAT IMPLEMENTED AS WELL.

AND THE THIRD IS AN UPDATE TO THE LANDSCAPING AROUND ALL OF THE GROUND SIGNAGE.

SO WITHIN THIS REQUESTED PETITION, WE'RE PROVIDING FOR LANDSCAPE PLANS FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE GROUND SIGNS TO JUST PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL UPDATE WHICH WILL COMPLEMENT THOSE SIGNS. AND THEN JUST MY LAST UPDATE, BECAUSE WE GET A LOT OF QUESTIONS ON IT, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME INFORMATION ON IT.

WE GET THE QUESTION WHEN IS EDDIE V'S GOING TO BE DONE? WHEN CAN I GO GET SOME DELICIOUS SEAFOOD AND STEAK? WELL, EDDIE V'S CONSTRUCTION IS ABOUT 40% COMPLETE.

WE ANTICIPATE THE WORK TO BE DONE BY FEBRUARY, WITH A GRAND OPENING IN LATE SPRING OF 2026.

AND WE GET QUESTIONS ABOUT TAMPA GENERAL TO. TAMPA GENERAL HAS COMPLETED THEIR INTERIOR DEMOLITION, AND THEY WILL BEGIN AN INTERIOR BUILDOUT SHORTLY NEXT.

AND SO WITH THAT, WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TONIGHT, AND WE REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL ON THIS MASTER SIGNAGE AMENDMENT.

AND OUR TEAM IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU NICOLE. APPRECIATE IT. DOES STAFF HAVE A PRESENTATION AS WELL? GOOD EVENING MADAM MAYOR AND COUNCIL STAFF HAS NO ADDITIONAL COMMENTS.

AND WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 71 2025 AND THE FOUR ASSOCIATED WAIVERS.

THANK YOU. AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY COMMENT CARDS ON THIS.

SO I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK DOES OUR COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE PETITIONER OR STAFF? I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION ON ON THE LEGACY PLACE GROUND SIGNS WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO SIX NAMES.

SO I THINK THAT LOOKS A LOT BETTER. BUT IS THE LEGACY NAME GOING AWAY OR ARE YOU GOING WITH A LOGO ONLY ON THAT SIGN? JUST CURIOUS. I'M GOING TO BACK IT UP. IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. THE LEGACY PLACE YOU CAN SEE IN THE GRAPHIC IS MORE ON KIND OF THE COLUMN OF THE SIGN AND SPUN A LITTLE BIT SIDEWAYS, SO YOU CAN SEE ON THE GRAPHIC ON THE SCREEN HERE, IT'S STILL PLACED THERE.

OKAY. SO WE'RE NOT LOSING THAT IDENTIFICATION AS LEGACY PLACE AS A WHOLE.

YEAH THAT LOOKS GOOD. YEAH. REALLY GOOD. NO, THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL SIGN.

A LOT BETTER THAN WHAT'S THERE NOW. SO. ALL ABOARD! LET'S DO IT. GREAT. VICE MAYOR, DO WE HAVE ANY COMMEND THE OWNERS AND THE APPLICANTS ON EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON THERE.

[00:45:01]

IT'S. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME. LEGACY PLACE HAS BEEN THERE A LONG TIME.

IT DEFINITELY NEEDED A REFRESH. LOVE THE DIRECTIONAL SIGNS.

LOVE THE NEW COMMITMENT. LOVE. WHO'S COMING IN THERE TO, YOU KNOW, REVIVE THE PLACE ENTIRELY.

GREAT PRESENTATION ON EVERYTHING. AND I LOVE THE NAVIGATIONAL TOOLS, SO I LOVE THAT TERMINOLOGY AS WELL.

JUST, YOU KNOW, OUT OF CURIOSITY, IS THERE A STARBUCKS GOING IN THERE? IS THERE ONE IN THERE? I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT.

OH, SORRY. I'M SWORN IN. CAITLIN GRIFFIN. THESE THESE ASSETS THAT WERE DEVELOPED IN 2004, 2006. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY COME WITH A LOT OF ENCUMBRANCES FROM OTHER ANCHOR LEASES.

SO BARNES AND NOBLE, BECAUSE THERE'S A STARBUCKS IN THERE, THEY ACTUALLY PROHIBITED STARBUCKS.

BUT GUS AND I NEGOTIATED THAT OUT. THAT TOOK SOME TIME OUT OF THE BARNES AND NOBLE LEASE.

STARBUCKS IS AND WAS INTERESTED IN THE FRONT HALF OF THE JOSEPH BANKS BUILDING.

I'M CONDITIONED ON GETTING A PYLON SIGN. SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE CHICKEN AND THE EGGS.

WE COULDN'T GET THEM THERE UNTIL WE HAD THE BARNES AND NOBLE IN THE SIGNAGE. BUT THERE IS PHENOMENAL NATIONAL DEMAND FOR THE CENTER.

A LOT OF IT WAS CONDITIONAL ON ON SIGNAGE. THERE'S A GOOD PLUG FOR THEM.

SO AND NO, WE BUT WHETHER IT'S STARBUCKS WE'VE BEEN REALLY WITH THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS, WITH THE FITNESS, WITH THE DAYTIME TRAFFIC AND THE MUCH NEEDED TRAFFIC IN THE MORNING, WE'RE WORKING REALLY HARD TO GET A MORNING AND BREAKFAST USE AND COFFEY AND FULL TIME BREAKFAST. DEFINITELY A VOID IN THE MARKET. AND IS WHAT THE DEVELOPER AND AVENIR MENTIONED THIS MORNING.

YOU DON'T YOU WANT TO GET THE RIGHT OPERATOR AND THE RIGHT USE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE NATIONAL.

SO I THINK WE'RE BEING APPROPRIATELY CHOOSY. EVERYTHING ELSE GOING ON IN THIS MARKET FROM OFFICE, MULTIFAMILY, MEDICAL IS ONLY HELPING DRIVE THE QUALITY OF THE DEMAND ON THIS.

SO WHILE WE LIKE TO SEE BUSINESSES OPEN, RIGHT, I THINK US BEING PATIENT ON THE RIGHT USE IS THE RIGHT THING.

BUT THIS IS A BIG, BIG STEP FORWARD. AND NOW THAT THE TENANCY, THE PAINTING AND HAMMERS WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF GOOD LOOKS, SO WE'RE EXCITED. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU. VERY GOOD. COUNCIL MEMBER DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? JUST KNOW. IT'S NICE TO HEAR THAT. AND I'M SORRY ABOUT THE WEATHER. IT'S NOT USUALLY LIKE THAT HERE.

NO. IT'S NICE TO HEAR THAT YOU'RE UNDERSTANDING THE CULTURE OF COMING HERE. IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE DO WANT THOSE QUALITY PRODUCTS THAT WILL STICK AROUND FOR A LONG TIME. AND I UNDERSTAND THE ENCUMBRANCES THAT COME WITH, YOU KNOW, HAVING I CAN ONLY IMAGINE.

BUT BUT WE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE DOING. WE ALL LOVE LEGACY PLACE LIKE THE VICE MAYOR WAS SAYING, WE WANT TO SEE IT PROSPER AND OUR RESIDENTS HAVE OTHER PLACES.

AS 10% OF OUR POPULATION CONTINUES TO GROW ANNUALLY.

RIGHT. WE NEED WE NEED THESE SERVICES. SO IT'S GREAT.

IT'S A GREAT, GREAT MIXED USE. YOU HAVE EVERYTHING AND YOU'RE RIGHT THERE NEXT TO RESIDENCES.

PEOPLE CAN WALK. IT'S IT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE CITY IS LOOKING FOR.

SO THANK YOU. I WILL ADD AND GUSSIE, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT SINCE IOS OPEN, YOU CAN MEASURE FOOT TRAFFIC DATA VIA, YOU KNOW, CELL PHONE PINGS AND SOFTWARE CALLED PLACER.AI.

OUR FOOT TRAFFIC YEAR TO DATE IS UP ABOUT 60% YEAR OVER YEAR WITH ALL THESE MORNING USES.

SO WE SHOW THAT DATA RIGHT TO FUTURE TENANTS THAT KIND OF WANT TO WAIT UNTIL THINGS TO OPEN TO COMMIT.

SO WE'RE GETTING THERE. I'M IN NEW YORK, SO I'M IMPATIENT.

SO I WANT TO GET THERE SOONER. WE'RE COOL WITH THAT.

THAT'S OKAY, THAT'S OKAY. THAT'S GREAT NEWS. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU I APPRECIATE IT. I AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUES HERE ON THE COUNCIL WITH THEIR COMMENTS.

ACTUALLY THAT WAS ONE OF MY QUESTIONS WAS I'VE FREQUENTED THIS, DEVELOPMENT FOR MANY YEARS AND OF COURSE, APPRECIATE ANY WAYFINDING IN THE MAZE OF A PARKING LOT.

ESPECIALLY THIS ONE BECAUSE I STILL GET TURNED AROUND SOMETIMES.

AND I WAS CURIOUS WITH THE LANDSCAPE, WITH THE ADDITIONAL PAVER SYSTEMS THAT YOU PUT IN THERE AND ALL THAT.

HAS THAT SHOWN? HAVE YOU SEEN THE INCREASE IN THE VACANCY RATES SINCE YOU'VE DONE SOME OF THIS WORK? AND ABSOLUTELY. TECHNICALLY, WITH ATVS AND TAMPA GENERAL, WE'RE ACTUALLY AT 94% LEASED OCCUPANCY, AND WE ACQUIRED IT AT ABOUT 65%. THAT'S GREAT.

NO, TOTALLY. BUT I THINK THE THE HIGH IMPACT VACANCY RATE ARE THOSE RESTAURANTS ON THE WATER.

IS THAT JOSEPH BANKS BUILDING? WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT ON PGA WITH THE 2000 SQUARE FOOT OLD CHIROPRACTOR.

SO THERE'S STILL ABOUT 25,000FT² OF VACANCY, AS WELL AS THE OUTPARCEL BUILDING ON THAT WAS TGI FRIDAYS THAT WE DEMOLISHED.

SO WE STILL HAVE WOOD TO CHOP, BUT FROM A RIGHT FROM WHERE WE WERE TO WHERE WE ARE, IT'S ABOUT 65 TO 94.

GREAT. GREAT TO HEAR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I APPRECIATE THAT. AND FINISHED DISCUSSION.

SO I WILL BRING IT BACK FOR A MOTION, PLEASE.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 71 2025.

SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? I THANK YOU. MOTION CARRIES 4 TO 0. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU. NATALIE. OKAY. NOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO RESOLUTION 78 2025.

[VIII.f. RESOLUTION 78, 2025 – AMEND THE SIGNAGE PROGRAM AND LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR THE ALTON MEDICAL CENTER.

[00:50:07]

WOULD THE CLERK PLEASE READ THE TITLE RESOLUTION 78 2025? A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA, APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE MASTER SIGN PLAN, LANDSCAPE PLAN AND SITE PLAN FOR THE ALTON MEDICAL CENTER WITHIN PARCEL B BIOTECH DISTRICT OF THE ALTON PLANNED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PCD, THE SUBJECT SITE BEING GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF PASTURE HERE BOULEVARD, 0.5 MILES SOUTH OF DONALD ROSS ROAD, AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN, PROVIDING CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, PROVIDING WAIVERS, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. THANK YOU.

PATTY. I'M GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK FOR ANY EXPERTISE.

WE'LL START WITH VICE MAYOR. YES, I DID MEET WITH THE APPLICANT AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER REED. I RECEIVED A TEXT MESSAGE FROM THE FROM JEFF ATWATER, BUT WE DID NOT HAVE A CONVERSATION REGARDING THIS.

OKAY. YEAH. ON 917, I DID DO A TOUR OF THE HOSPITAL WITH THE CEO GINA MELBY.

ALSO WITH KEVIN DILALLO, THE GROUP VICE PRESIDENT, KIMBERLY JARRELL, WHO'S THE NEW CHIEF NURSING OFFICER, AND THEN JEFF ATWATER FROM BALLARD PARTNERS. AND I ALSO WANT TO NOTE THE SEVERAL EMAILS AND CONVERSATIONS FROM ALTON RESIDENTS AS WELL THAT WE'VE GOTTEN.

THANK YOU. AND I WILL ALSO SAY THAT I HAVE MET VIA A TOUR OF THE HOSPITAL WITH MR. KEVIN DILALLO. MR.. JEFF ATWATER MISS GINA MULVEY, AND ALSO SPOKE WITH SEVERAL RESIDENTS FROM THE DEVELOPMENT IN PARTICULAR ERIN PISANI, JOE CHEN, LIAM QUINN, GLEN SALIBA AND SHELLEY FREEMAN.

OKAY. NOW WE WILL MOVE ON TO. THE PRESENTATION.

GOOD EVENING. I MISSED THE SWEARING IN. I APOLOGIZE, MR. CHAIRMAN NEEDS TO BE SWORN IN. YOUR FAIL. DO YOU SOLEMNLY SWEAR TO TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, SO HELP YOU GOD? I DO, MA'AM, THANK YOU. GOOD.

GOOD EVENING. KEN TOOME WITH URBAN DESIGN STUDIO.

MY ADDRESS IS 610 CLEMATIS STREET, WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA, 33401.

AND I KNOW THAT ALL OF YOU HAD HAVE HAD CORRESPONDENCE.

YOU'VE HAD MEETINGS WITH NEIGHBORS THAT SOME OF THAT CORRESPONDENCE DEFINITELY BEEN SHARED WITH US, AND PARTICULARLY THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE HOSPITAL BEHIND ME. AND WE RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS AN IMPORTANT TOPIC AND UNDERSTAND THAT.

AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING HERE.

SO TODAY, OUR CLIENT HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET VICE MAYOR.

I BELIEVE YOU MET WITH SOME RESIDENTS TODAY. OUR CLIENT WAS WAS ALSO INVITED TO THAT MEETING ALSO.

AND AFTER THAT WE HAD A COUPLE THOUGHT PROCESS.

WE KNOW THAT ALL OF YOU HAVE MET WITH DIFFERENT RESIDENTS AND GONE THROUGH IT.

WE THEN THEN KEVIN CALLED ME AND SAID, KEN, I THINK WE MAY HAVE A SOLUTION THAT WE NEED TO WORK ON AMONGST OURSELF.

THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN WHAT'S IN YOUR PACKET. SO THAT SOLUTION IS GOING TO SHOW THE REMOVAL OF THAT SIGN ON THE SOUTH SIDE, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS GOING TO REMAIN THE SAME.

AND WE'RE GOING TO BE REQUESTING AN ADDITIONAL SIGN.

WE, AFTER ALL THAT SOUL SEARCHING, MR. DALE AND MRS. MELBY ALL CALLED ME AND SAID, THIS IS A GOOD SOLUTION.

WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY ALL AFTERNOON. ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I WAS LATE IS I WAS PRINTING STUFF.

I MEAN, THIS IS GOING TO BE HOT THING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE TONIGHT, AND WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH YOUR STAFF, AND I'M GOING TO WALK YOU THROUGH THE CHANGES THAT WE'RE PROPOSING FROM WHAT WAS SUBMITTED, AND I'M GOING TO WALK YOU THROUGH IT VERY QUICKLY, BUT I'M GOING TO TAKE MY TIME ALSO BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT CHANGED. OKAY. SO FIRST THING I WANT TO START WITH, THERE IS NO SIGN ON THAT SOUTH SIDE ANY LONGER.

SO TO ME THAT WAS 99.999% OF ALL THE COMMENTS THAT WE RECEIVED.

SO LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH STARTING ONE FIRST, THE SUBJECT SITE.

WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH IT. LOCATED WITHIN THE ALTON PCD, THE SUBJECT SITE IS PARCEL B, WHICH IS NOW CALLED THE ALLEN B MEDICAL CENTER.

THE SITE PLAN IS APPROVED FOR A 300 ROOM HOSPITAL AND A MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING OF 80,000FT².

SO THIS IS WHAT IS CURRENTLY APPROVED TODAY. IF YOU TOOK NO ACTION TODAY, THIS IS WHAT IS CURRENTLY APPROVED. AND I'M GOING TO TAKE MY TIME ON THIS BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT'S CHANGING.

SIGN NUMBER ONE ON THE WEST SIDE. CURRENTLY APPROVED.

THERE IS AN ALBUM ON THE SITE. THERE IS AN ALBUM ON THE SOUTH SIDE THAT IS NUMBER THREE CURRENTLY APPROVED.

AND THEN ON THIS SIDE OF THE HOSPITAL, THERE'S A SIGN THAT'S APPROVED.

ALL THOSE ARE TODAY ARE APPROVED. SO IF THERE IS NO APPLICATION, THIS IS WHAT WOULD GET CONSTRUCTED.

[00:55:06]

WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR PACKET. WHAT WE PROPOSED IS THE FOLLOWING.

WE WERE GOING TO RELOCATE THOSE SIGNS. THE SAME NUMBER THREE.

EXACTLY THE SAME. ACTUALLY WHEN I WALK YOU THROUGH THE DETAILS WE'VE ACTUALLY MADE IT SMALLER.

IT WAS 121FT². IT'S GOING TO BE 106FT². WE THEN PROPOSED SIGN NUMBER TWO, WHICH WAS THE ONE OF ALL OF ALL THE CHALLENGES THAT THE NEIGHBORS TO THE SOUTH BELIEVE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE LIGHT POLLUTION BASED ON THAT.

AND THEN SIGN NUMBER ONE IS ON THE NORTH FACE FACING CARRIER.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE IN OUR PACKET. THAT'S WHAT'S PROPOSED IN FRONT OF YOU.

LET ME SHOW YOU WHERE WE'VE LANDED IN THE MIDDLE GROUND HERE.

SO WE'RE GOING TO KEEP SIGN NUMBER ONE ON THE WEST SIDE.

IT DOESN'T CHANGE EXCEPT FOR THE HEIGHT AND THE LENGTH OF THE SIGN.

AND I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH THAT IN DETAIL. SIGN NUMBER THREE REMAINS THE SAME.

IT ACTUALLY GETS SMALLER. SIGN NUMBER TWO REMAINS THE SAME AGAIN JUST GETTING A LITTLE BIT BIGGER AND A LITTLE BIT WIDER.

THE THE THE LETTERS GET A LITTLE TALLER. AND THEN WE'VE ELIMINATED THAT SIGN.

OUR ASK FOR THIS IS WE WANT AN ADDITIONAL SIGN ON THE NORTH SIDE.

WE BELIEVE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE SIGNAGE AND DEFINITION FOR PEOPLE WHEN THEY COME IN THEIR MOST IMPORTANT TIME, WHEN THEY'RE UNDER STRESS. COMING TO A HOSPITAL SIGNAGE IS CRITICAL.

SO WE'RE REQUESTING THAT ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE BE ADDED.

SO IT'S A WAIVER FOR A FOURTH SIGN. SO WE'RE KEEPING THE THREE SIGNS THAT WERE ALREADY APPROVED IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT.

AND WE'RE ASKING FOR A FOURTH SIGN ON THE NORTH SIDE FACING THE CARRIER BUILDING.

THEREFORE THERE IS NO MORE LIGHT POLLUTION OR PROPOSED LIGHT POLLUTION.

I'M NOT NECESSARILY AGREEING WITH LIGHT POLLUTION, BUT THE LIGHT POLLUTION TO THE SOUTH THAT IS NO LONGER THERE.

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH IN MORE DETAIL. I'LL COME BACK AND GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN, BECAUSE I RECOGNIZE THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT'S IN YOUR PACKET. SO ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU, THIS IS ALTON MEDICAL CENTER AS YOU LOOK AT IT FROM I-95.

AND TODAY IT'S CALLED THE ALLENBY MEDICAL CENTER.

SO IN GREEN IS WHAT THE SIGN WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED FOR.

IN RED IS WE'RE ASKING TO RELOCATE THAT SIGN TO THE SCREEN WALL TO MAKE IT HIGHER.

THAT WAS IN YOUR PACKET. AND THEN ALSO TO MAKE IT BIGGER.

AND WHY ARE WE MAKING IT BIGGER? ONE WHEN WE CAME TO YOU A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND GOT THE APPROVAL FOR THIS, IT WAS CALLED HOSPITAL. SO TODAY IT IS THE ALLENBY MEDICAL CENTER.

SO THEY GOT LONGER AND THEN IT ALSO GOT TALLER.

THE SIGNS WENT FROM THE SIGN. LETTER HEIGHT WENT FROM THREE FEET TO 4.5FT AGAIN TO CREATE GREAT VISUALS.

SO THAT'S ON THE WEST SIDE. THE NEXT SIDE IS THE ALREADY APPROVED SIGN NUMBER TWO, WHICH IS IN THE APPROVAL.

AGAIN, IF WE DID NOTHING TODAY, THE SIGN COULD BE CONSTRUCTED IDENTIFIED IN GREEN.

IS THAT SIGN IDENTIFIED IN RED IS IT'S NEW. NEW.

LOOK. EXCUSE ME. NEW LOCATION. PUSHING IT TO THE SCREEN WALL, MAKING IT BIGGER TO FIT THE NAME THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU.

THE L AND B MEDICAL CENTER. MILLER. OH, ELLEN B OH, SORRY.

ELLEN B, THE MEDICAL CENTER, WHATEVER IT'S CALLED TODAY.

DON'T FORGET THE MILLER. AND HERE'S THE BIG MILLER.

THIS IS ON THE SOUTH SIDE ON ITEM THREE HERE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE ON THE ALLEN B MILLER MEDICAL CENTER HERE.

AND THEN THIS IS THE SIGN BEING PROPOSED. AND THEN THIS IS THE THE NEW SIGN.

SIGN NUMBER FOUR BEING PROPOSED ON THE NORTH SIDE WAIVER FOR YOU.

AN ADDITIONAL SIGN EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE SAME AS THE OTHER TWO SIGNS THAT I PRESENTED.

SO THE BIG ASK TONIGHT IS WE REQUESTING THAT ADDITIONAL WAIVER TO ALLOW FOR THAT ADDITIONAL SIGN.

AND THIS IS THE VIEW OF THE NORTH SIDE LOOKING AT IT FROM FROM THE ROADWAY.

YOU CAN SEE HOW THE SIGN FITS IN VERY NICELY IN THAT AREA.

AND YOU CAN GET A GOOD FEEL OF HOW THE NORTH SIDE LOOKS.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS FACING CARRIER AND THIS IS THE WAIVER FOR THE ADDITIONAL SIGN.

SO THE UPDATED REQUEST IS ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU.

I AM GOING TO READ IT BECAUSE IT CHANGED ABOUT A MINUTE AGO.

SO JUST BECAUSE I MADE JUST A COUPLE CHANGES, LET ME UPDATE IT REAL QUICK.

FIRST THING WE ARE ADDING ONE DIRECTIONAL SIGN.

I WILL SHOW YOU THAT IN A SECOND. WE ARE REQUESTING TO ADD ONE HOSPITAL WALL SIGN.

THAT'S AN ADDITIONAL SIGN ON THE NORTH SIDE. WE'RE INCREASING THE SIZE OF FOUR WALL SIGNS.

THE FOUR WALL SIGNS INCLUDE THE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING SIGN, WHICH I WILL SHOW YOU IN A SECOND.

[01:00:05]

WE'RE INCREASING THE PROPOSED LETTER HEIGHT. THAT'S THE THREE FEET.

THE 4.5FT. WE'RE REDUCING THE SIZE OF ONE WALL SIGN.

I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR. WE'RE REDUCING THE SIZE OF ONE WALL SIGN.

I WILL SHOW YOU THAT WE ARE ALSO REMOVING ONE WALL SIGN FROM THE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING, WHICH, BY THE WAY, SITS DUE SOUTH, WHICH WOULD FACE THAT NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE SOUTH.

WE HAD ALREADY HAD THAT AS PART OF OUR PROPOSAL.

AND THEN FINALLY WE ARE REQUESTING ONE TEMPORARY SIGN BANNER.

AND THAT SIGN BANNER IS REALLY IMPORTANT. IT'S A COMING SOON SIGN FOR THE HOSPITAL AND THAT IS ADJACENT TO I-95.

SO I'M GOING TO WALK YOU THROUGH A FEW THINGS HERE.

FIRST THING, THE NEW DIRECTIONAL SIGN. AS WE GOT THROUGH FURTHER THROUGH IN THE CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, WE REALIZED THAT WE NEEDED TO ADD ONE MORE DIRECTIONAL SIGN IDENTIFYING THIS NORTH AREA AS HOSPITAL STAFF ONLY.

IT'S CONSISTENT WITH SIZE AND SIZE AND LETTER TYPE THAT WAS THAT WAS APPROVED FOR THE OTHER SIGNS.

THIS WILL HELP CREATE BETTER CIRCULATION. THE NEXT ONE IS THE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING.

IF YOU RECALL, THERE IS A SEPARATE BUILDING IN 80,000 SQUARE FOOT MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING.

WE ARE REQUESTING THAT THAT SIGN. GUESS WHAT? GET A LITTLE BIGGER AND A LITTLE LONGER BECAUSE OF THE NAME ALAN B MILLER OFFICE BUILDING.

I'LL GET THAT RIGHT. AND SO WE'RE REQUESTING THAT THAT ALSO HAS A SO THAT IS A WAIVER ALSO ON THAT SAME BUILDING ON THE SOUTH SIDE HERE AT THIS LOCATION, THERE'S AN EXISTING APPROVED SIGNAGE.

WE'RE REMOVING THAT SIGN. THERE IS NO SIGN ON THAT CORNER ANY LONGER.

SO THERE WILL ONLY BE ONE SIGN ON THE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING OF ALAN B MILLER.

AND THAT WILL BE ON THE NORTH SIDE. AND THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

WE ARE REQUESTING ALSO A TEMPORARY SIGN. THIS IS A WAIVER.

THAT TEMPORARY SIGN ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU IS THE COMING SOON.

COMING SOON APRIL OF 2026. SO VERY EXCITED TO HEAR ABOUT 2026.

THIS HOSPITAL WILL BE OPEN. IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE THIS SIGN.

LOOK, THESE SIGNS ARE GOING TO GO UP EARLY. IT'S JUST THE NATURE OF CONSTRUCTION. WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE HAPPEN IS SOMEONE COMING TO THE HOSPITAL BEFORE IT'S OPEN.

THIS SIGN IS VERY IMPORTANT. IT'S FOR FOR MULTIPLE REASONS.

AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE'RE PLACING THAT ON THERE.

THERE ARE LANDSCAPING ENHANCEMENTS ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU.

I'M NOT GOING TO WALK THROUGH THEM, BUT WE HAVE WORKED WITH YOUR CITY FORESTER.

MISTER DINSMORE WAS UNABLE TO BE HERE THIS EVENING, BUT HE SPENT A LOT OF TIME WORKING FOR CITY STAFF AND COMING UP WITH SOME POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS FOR ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING ON THE WESTERN SIDE ALONG INTERSTATE I-95.

AND THEN WE ALSO ADDED SOME ADDITIONAL TREES ON THE BUFFER TO THE SOUTH.

SO ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU ARE THOSE PROPOSED CHANGES? AND I'M NOT GOING TO READ THEM OFF TO YOU. SO ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE THIS IS THE EXISTING LANDSCAPE BUFFER.

OBVIOUSLY NEEDS SOME MAINTENANCE. ON THE BOTTOM LEFT HAND SIDE IS THE PROPOSED BUFFER IN ABOUT A FIVE YEAR GROWTH PATTERN.

NOW I DO WANT TO WALK THROUGH THOSE SLIDES ONE MORE TIME ABOUT THE CHANGES IF THAT'S OKAY.

SO WE ALL ARE CLEAR INCLUDING MYSELF. SO ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU ONE, TWO AND THREE ARE CURRENTLY APPROVED. THOSE ARE THE SIGNS TODAY.

LIKE I SAID WE STOP. WE DON'T DO ANYTHING TODAY.

THOSE SIGNS GET CONSTRUCTED. THIS IS WHAT WE PROPOSED.

WE BASICALLY RELOCATED THOSE SIGNS BUT KEPT THE NUMBER THE SAME.

AND AND THIS SIGN. THIS SIGN RIGHT HERE WAS THE ONE THAT WAS CAUSING ALL OF THE CHALLENGES WITH THE NEIGHBORS TO THE SOUTH.

SIGN NUMBER TWO. AND THIS IS OUR PROPOSAL. WE'RE LEAVING EVERYTHING THE SAME AS IT IS APPROVED.

WE'RE REQUESTING ONE ADDITIONAL SIGN ON THE NORTH SIDE.

SO WHEN PEOPLE ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THEY SEE THAT SIGN AND THEY KNOW WHERE THAT HOSPITAL IS.

EVERYTHING ELSE OUR WAIVERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE WITH THE NAME ALAN B MILLER AND THEN ALSO THE LETTER HEIGHT INCREASING FROM THREE FEET TO 4.5FT.

AND THAT IS MY PRESENTATION. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

I COULD GO BACK THROUGH THESE SLIDES IF THERE ARE ANY OPEN ITEMS ON THEM.

ALSO, AND I APOLOGIZE FOR DOING THIS ON THE RECORD.

THIS HAS BEEN ALL AFTERNOON, AND I APPRECIATE WORKING WITH YOU TO HELPING US GET THROUGH THIS ALL.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I APPRECIATE THAT.

DOES STAFF HAVE ANYTHING THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THE PRESENTATION? GOOD EVENING, MADAM MAYOR AND COUNCIL, NICK LOBDELL, PLANNING AND ZONING. WE ARE PREPARED TO PRESENT BEFORE THE COUNCIL.

[01:05:21]

ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, MADAM MAYOR. MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

THIS IS AGAIN NICK LOBDELL, PLANNING AND ZONING. AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.

SO WE'RE GOING TO COVER THE PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS TO THE ALTON MEDICAL CENTER SIGNAGE.

THIS IS RESOLUTION 78 2025. AND TO GO RIGHT AHEAD AND GET STARTED.

AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, THIS IS WITHIN THE ALTON PCD.

THIS IS THE ALTON MEDICAL CENTER. AND JUST TO NOTE, THIS WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED BY THE PASSAGE OF RESOLUTION 2 IN 2023.

THIS APPROVAL PROVIDED FOR NOT ONLY THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL, BUT ALSO THE MASTER SIGNAGE PROGRAM, WHICH INCLUDED WAIVERS FOR BUILDING IDENTIFICATION, SIGNAGE AND SO TO MOVE ON TO.

TODAY. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING MODIFICATIONS TO THE BUILDING IDENTIFICATION SIGNAGE.

THEY'RE ALSO PROPOSING THAT TEMPORARY GRAND OPENING BANNER AS WELL AS THE ADDITIONAL DIRECTIONAL SIGN.

THE APPLICANT IS ALSO SEEKING WAIVERS TO ACCOMMODATE THESE REQUESTS.

AS JUSTIFICATION FOR THOSE WAIVERS, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING SIGNIFICANT ENHANCEMENTS TO THE EXISTING SOUTHERN AND WESTERN LANDSCAPE BUFFERS.

AND ONE THING WE REALLY LIKE TO NOTE ABOUT THIS SITE, THIS PROJECT IS ITS EVOLUTION THROUGHOUT TIME, LEADING TOWARDS ITS APPROVAL. INITIALLY, THE APPLICANT CAME FORWARD AND PRESENTED THE PLAN ON THE LEFT, WHERE A SIGNIFICANTLY MORE INTENSE HOSPITAL WAS LOCATED NEARBY THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY.

THIS HOSPITAL WAS 450 BEDS. IT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY TALLER, AND BOTH STAFF AND THE NEIGHBORS RAISED THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT THIS INITIAL PROJECT AND THE APPLICANT CAME FORWARD. THEY WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH STAFF IN THE NEIGHBORS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE FOR A BETTER SOLUTION FOR THE SITE PLAN, THEY ACTUALLY RELOCATED THE BUILDING SIGNIFICANTLY NORTH TO THE POINT WHERE THE THE NEAREST POINT TO THAT SOUTHERN BOUNDARY WAS 898FT AWAY.

SO THE BULK OF THE HOSPITAL. THE REMAINDER OF THE WINGS ARE EVEN FURTHER REACHING DISTANCES OF 900 TO 1000FT.

THE SITE WAS FURTHER MODIFIED WITH ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATIONS.

NOW, IN ADDITION TO THAT SETBACK, IN ADDITION TO THE REDUCTION IN THE IN THE INTENSITY OF THE HOSPITAL, THE APPLICANT ALSO PROVIDED A SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCED SOUTHERN BUFFER.

ON THE ON THE ON THE BOUNDARY OF THAT SITE. THIS BUFFER WAS DOUBLE THE REQUIRED 25FT FOR A TOTAL WIDTH OF 50FT.

IT ALSO INCLUDED A SUPPLEMENTAL SIX FOOT HIGH WALL PLACED ON A SIX FOOT HIGH BERM.

THIS PROVIDES FOR AN ADDITIONAL 12FT OF VERTICAL SCREENING WITHIN THAT BUFFER.

NOW THIS 50 FOOT WIDE, DOUBLE WIDTH, YOU KNOW, HOSPITAL BUFFER ON THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY JOINS WITH THE RESIDENTIAL BUFFER, WHICH IS ALSO 25FT. THIS CREATES A TOTAL BUFFER WIDTH BETWEEN A TOTAL BUFFER WIDTH ON THAT SOUTHERN BOUNDARY OF 75FT.

NOW, AS PART OF STAFF'S ANALYSIS, WE LOOKED VERY CLOSELY AT THIS BUFFER, AND WE ACTUALLY WENT ON SITE IN THE PHOTOS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SLIDE ARE REFLECTIVE OF THE CURRENT CONDITIONS OF THAT BUFFER AS OF TODAY.

NOW THOSE PICTURES REFLECT A BUFFER WITH SIGNIFICANTLY MATURE LANDSCAPING THAT IS FILLED IN.

IT PROVIDES FOR, YOU KNOW, SIGNIFICANT DENSITY AND VISUAL SCREENING BETWEEN THE TWO SITES.

THIS SCREENING ALSO PROVIDES FOR NOISE MITIGATION THROUGHOUT THE TWO SITES.

SO TO MOVE FORWARD TO TODAY WITH WHAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING, THE THE REQUEST IS FOR MODIFICATIONS TO THE TO THE APPROVED HOSPITAL SIGNAGE. THIS SLIDE REPRESENTS THE INITIAL PROPOSAL MADE BY THE APPLICANT, WHICH INCLUDED THAT PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED RELOCATION.

HOWEVER, WE ARE STILL LOOKING AT MODIFICATIONS TO THE APPROVED SIGNAGE, AND WE ARE STILL LOOKING AT AN APPROVAL FOR A TEMPORARY GRAND OPENING SIGN TO COVER THE APPROVED SIGNAGE. BACK IN 2023, THE HOSPITAL WAS APPROVED WITH TWO NAME SIGNS AS WELL AS A AS A AS A LOGO SIGN.

THESE SIGNS WERE APPROVED AS PLACEHOLDERS BECAUSE THE NAME AND THE LOGO HAD NOT YET BEEN DETERMINED, AND SO THE APPLICANT IS COMING FORWARD TODAY WITH THE OFFICIAL NAME, WHICH IS THE ALAN B MILLER MEDICAL CENTER INITIALLY.

THIS SLIDE REFLECTS THEIR THEIR ORIGINAL PROPOSAL TO RELOCATE THOSE SIGNS.

HOWEVER, AS STATED IN KEN'S PRESENTATION, THE SIGNS THAT ARE CURRENTLY APPROVED ARE DEPICTED ON THE SITE PLAN ON THE LEFT IN BLUE.

ALL THREE OF THOSE SIGNS WILL REMAIN IN THEIR PROPOSED LOCATIONS WITH THE.

WITH THIS PROPOSAL, AND IN ADDITION TO TO THOSE THREE SIGNS, AN ADDITIONAL SIGN IS PROPOSED FOR THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING THAT'S DEPICTED ON ON THE ON THE SITE PLAN ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE HOSPITAL BUILDING.

AND SO IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THE OFFICIAL NAMING OF THE HOSPITAL THERE IS A REQUESTED INCREASE IN THE SQUARE FOOTAGE AS WELL AS THE LETTER HEIGHT FOR THE HOSPITAL NAME SIGNS. THIS IS PART OF THE WAIVER REQUEST THAT THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING TODAY.

AND AS PART OF STAFF'S ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSAL, THE APPLICANT ACTUALLY PROVIDED A USEFUL GRAPHIC DEMONSTRATING A SIGHT LINE

[01:10:09]

ANALYSIS OF THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL FOR THE SIGNAGE.

THIS IS IN ORDER TO HELP REVIEW THAT THAT SOUTHERN SIGN.

SO THIS ACTUALLY DEMONSTRATES THE THE LENGTH OF DISTANCE MEASURED FROM AN OBSERVER STANDING BEHIND THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARIES BUFFER, STARING UP AT THE HOSPITALS FORMALLY PROPOSED SOUTHERN SIGN.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT SIGN WAS SET BACK SIGNIFICANTLY FAR.

THAT'S OVER 1000FT, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY THREE FOOTBALL FIELDS AWAY.

AS FOR THE HOSPITAL LOGO SIGN THAT IS PROPOSED TO REMAIN IN THE SAME LOCATION IT WAS APPROVED IN, AND AS KEN STATED, IT IS PROPOSED TO ACTUALLY BE REDUCED WITH THE OFFICIAL SELECTION OF THE HOSPITAL'S LOGO.

AS FOR THE GRAND OPENING SIGN, IT IS PROPOSED TO BE PLACED ON THE WESTERN FACADE.

THIS IS IN ORDER TO ADVERTISE THE ANTICIPATED GRAND OPENING IN 2026 OF THE HOSPITAL, AND THEY ARE SEEKING A WAIVER FOR THE EXTENDED DURATION OF THE TEMPORARY SIGNS PLACEMENT, AS WELL AS ITS INCREASED MOUNTING HEIGHT AS WELL AS ITS INCREASED SQUARE FOOTAGE.

NOW TO SHIFT GEARS AND LOOK AT THE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO REMOVE ONE OF THE TWO PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SIGNS.

THAT SIGN WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED TO BE PLACED ON THE SOUTHWEST FACADE OF THE BUILDING.

AND WITH THIS REMOVAL, THEY ARE ACTUALLY PROPOSING THAT AS JUSTIFICATION TO SEEK A WAIVER TO MODIFY THE SIZE OF THE SIGN ON THE NORTH FACADE OF THE BUILDING.

SO, AS WE CAN SEE HERE ON THE LEFT SIDE ARE THE PREVIOUS APPROVALS FOR THE SIGNAGE OF THE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING.

THAT SOUTHWEST SIGN IS BEING REMOVED AND ONLY REMAINING IS THE NORTH FACADE SIGN, WHICH WILL ACCOMMODATE THE OFFICIAL TITLE OF THE OFFICE BUILDING, WHICH IS THE ALLEN OFFICE BUILDING. HERE'S A RENDERING OF WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE ONCE INSTALLED AND INTEGRATED WITHIN THE SITE.

AND LASTLY, WE DO HAVE OUR ADDITIONAL DIRECTIONAL SIGN.

THIS DIRECTIONAL SIGN IS DESIGNED TO ENHANCE THE WAYFINDING AND NAVIGATION THROUGHOUT THE SITE.

THIS SIGN IS JUST DESIGNED TO DEMARCATE EMPLOYEE ONLY AREAS WITH THE WITH THE THE HELICOPTER, AS WELL AS THE HELIPAD AS WELL AS THE EMPLOYEE PARKING.

THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE REMAINDER OF WAYFINDING SIGNAGE ON SITE, AND THE APPLICANT IS NOT SEEKING ANY WAIVERS FOR THIS SIGN.

AS FOR THE TWO, WELL AS FOR THE WAIVER REQUESTS, THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING A WAIVER FROM SECTION 78 285 FOR THE ADDITIONAL COPY AREA AS WELL AS THE ADDITIONAL LETTER HEIGHT. THIS IS FOR THE HOSPITAL AND MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING SIGNAGE, AND THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING A WAIVER FROM THE TEMPORARY SIGN CODE IN ORDER TO ALLOW FOR A INCREASED SQUARE FOOTAGE AND ADDITIONAL TIME FRAME, AND A HIGHER MOUNTING HEIGHT FOR THAT TEMPORARY GRAND OPENING SIGN.

NOW, THIS WAIVER TABLE REFLECTS THE INITIAL PROPOSAL THAT THE APPLICANT CAME FORWARD WITH.

AND SO IN ADDITION TO THESE TWO WAIVERS, THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING AN ADDITIONAL WAIVER FOR THAT ADDITIONAL SIGN ON THE NORTH OF THE HOSPITAL.

WITH THIS PROPOSAL NOW AS JUSTIFICATION FOR THE REQUESTED WAIVERS, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING SIGNIFICANT ENHANCEMENTS TO THE WESTERN AND SOUTHERN LANDSCAPE BUFFERS. SO FOR THE WESTERN BUFFER RUNNING ALONG INTERSTATE 95, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING 34 SABAL PALMS, 14 EGLESTON HOLLIES FOR MATURE LIVE OAKS, 88 COCOA PLUMS, AND 20 WAX MYRTLES.

ALL OF THESE SPECIES HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY SELECTED IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE THEIR BENEFIT TO THE BUFFERS.

VISUAL SCREENING AS WELL AS NOISE MITIGATION.

AS FOR THE SOUTHERN LANDSCAPE BUFFER, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING EIGHT ADDITIONAL SABAL PALMS. ALL OF THESE PLANTINGS WILL BE INSTALLED AT THE HEIGHTS DEPICTED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OF THE OF THE LIST, AND WILL BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO GROW VERTICALLY AND ENHANCE THE VERTICAL SCREENING OF THE BUFFER AS THEY MATURE AND DEVELOP.

AS FOR THE SOUTHERN BUFFER, THOSE ADDITIONAL SABAL PALMS ARE WOVEN INTO THE FABRIC OF THAT ENHANCED BUFFER.

SOME WILL BE PLACED CLOSER TO THE BERM IN ORDER TO PROVIDE FOR ADDITIONAL HEIGHT AND VERTICAL SCREENING THAT THAT SOUTHERN BUFFER CURRENTLY PROVIDES AT AT THIS TIME.

THAT SOUTHERN BUFFER HAS A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF APPROVED CANOPY TREES.

IT HAS MATURE LIVE OAKS. IT HAS ADDITIONAL COLUSA AND IT CURRENTLY PROVIDES FOR FOR SIGNIFICANT SCREENING OF THE SITE AT THE PRESENT TIME. AS FOR THE WESTERN BUFFER, THE APPLICANT DID PROVIDE A RENDERING OF OF WHAT THE WESTERN BUFFER WILL LOOK LIKE AT A FIVE YEAR GROWTH PERIOD WITH PROPER MAINTENANCE AND IRRIGATION.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS A VIEW FACING INWARD TOWARD THE SITE.

AND THAT WESTERN BUFFER IS PROVIDING FOR FULL SCREENING OF THE OF THE HOSPITAL SITE.

NOW ONE THING WE REALLY LIKE TO EMPHASIZE AND NOTE IS THAT THE SITE IS AN ONGOING CONSTRUCTION SITE.

SO WITH THAT, THERE ARE ANTICIPATED IMPACTS WITH WITH NOISE AS WELL AS DUST.

THESE ARE TO BE EXPECTED WITH ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION SITES AND AS STANDARD.

[01:15:01]

HOWEVER, WE JUST REALLY LIKE TO EMPHASIZE THAT THE APPROVED SITE PLAN FOR THE PROJECT PROVIDES FOR A FULLY LANDSCAPED SOUTHERN PARKING LOT.

THIS PARKING LOT HAS LANDSCAPE ISLANDS WITH PLANTED CANOPY TREES.

THESE INCLUDE OAKS. THESE WILL PROVIDE FOR FOR FURTHER, YOU KNOW, VISUAL SCREENING OF THE HOSPITAL AS WELL AS NOISE MITIGATION THROUGHOUT THE SITE. NOW IN ADDITION TO THIS, TO THE TO THE ADDED VEGETATION THAT'S THROUGHOUT THAT PARKING LOT.

THE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING IS ALSO POSITIONED TO FURTHER SCREEN THE HOSPITAL FROM VIEWS FACING NORTH.

SO THE APPROVED PLANS REALLY DO PROVIDE FOR SIGNIFICANT SCREENING AND NOISE MITIGATION.

THE SITE WAS PUBLICLY NOTICED PURSUANT TO CODE AND THIS PROJECT WAS HEARD BEFORE THE SEPTEMBER 14TH HEARING WAS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL WITH A VOTE OF 7 TO 0. NOW THIS THIS SLIDE DOES REPRESENT THE INITIAL PROPOSAL FOR RESOLUTION 78, WHEREIN THE APPLICANT REQUESTED TWO WAIVERS. HOWEVER, IT'S JUST IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE APPLICANT DID COME FORWARD TODAY WITH A REQUEST FOR AN ADDITIONAL WAIVER.

THIS REQUEST WAS HEARD LATE THIS AFTERNOON, BUT STAFF DID FULLY REVIEW AND DOES NOT OPPOSE THE APPLICANT'S YOU KNOW, REQUEST FOR AN ADDITIONAL WAIVER FOR ADDED SIGNAGE.

STAFF STILL RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 78 2025.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE THAT. WE DO HAVE COMMENT CARDS ON THIS ITEM.

I'M GOING TO CALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT HAVE REQUESTED TO SPEAK ON THIS PETITION.

THE FIRST IS LISA DICKMAN. IF YOU CAN PLEASE COME UP TO THE PODIUM, STATE YOUR NAME, YOUR ADDRESS AND IF YOU'VE BEEN SWORN IN AND IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN SWORN IN, WE WILL BE HAPPY TO DO THAT. AND I THINK LISA WAS NOT SWORN IN AT THIS TIME.

SO THE CITY CLERK WILL SWEAR YOU IN. YOU SOLEMNLY SWEAR TO TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, SO HELP YOU GOD? YES, I DO.

THANK YOU. AND JUST YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS. FOR THE RECORD, LISA COLEMAN AT 13416 MACHIAVELLI WAY, PALM BEACH GARDENS IN ALTON. MY HOME IS ACTUALLY THE HOME THAT FACES THE LAKE CLOSEST TO THE SOUTH BARRIER WALL WITH THE LANDSCAPE THAT HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT INSTALLED TO BLOCK THE VIEW OF THE HOSPITAL. AND AT THE TIME THAT I BELIEVE ALL THIS WAS APPROVED, THERE WAS A SIGHT LINE AND THE SIGHT LINE SHOWED THAT WE WOULD ONLY SEE ABOUT THE TOP 2 OR 3 FLOORS OF THE HOSPITAL. THE LANDSCAPING THAT'S BEEN INSTALLED DOES NOT PROVIDE MUCH COVERAGE AT ALL. AND IN FACT, PROBABLY HALF OF THOSE SABAL PALMS ARE DEAD OR DYING.

I SEE THAT YOU HAVE SUGGESTED THAT THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL PLANTINGS ALONG THAT WALL.

SABAL PALMS. I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO BE ENOUGH, AND IT DOES NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH COVERAGE FROM BOTH THE LIGHT, THE SOUND OR THE ESTHETICS, THE VIEW. SO I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT WE REVISIT THE LANDSCAPE PLAN ON THAT SOUTH WALL TO PROVIDE POSSIBLY DIFFERENT TREES, MAYBE LARGER LIVE OAK. RIGHT AT THE WALL LINE. THAT WOULD ACTUALLY PROVIDE SOME HEIGHT AND SOME DENSITY.

THE SABAL PALMS REALLY JUST DON'T QUITE DO THE JOB.

SO THAT'S MY REQUEST THERE. THE SECOND IS THE MAINTENANCE.

I KNOW THIS DOESN'T HAVE TO DO WITH THE PLAN ITSELF, BUT IT'S NOT BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED.

I WOULD SAY IT'S IN BAD SHAPE. THERE ARE PLANTS AND TREES THAT ARE DYING.

WEEDS GROW AMOK. IT'S QUITE UNSIGHTLY. SO SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAINTAIN IT.

I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S THE HOSPITAL'S RESPONSIBILITY OR THE COUNTY OR WHO.

BUT I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF THERE WOULD BE SOME EFFORT PUT INTO THE MAINTENANCE OF IT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT WE HAVE LIAM QUINN.

CAN YOU PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD? AND IF YOU'VE BEEN SWORN IN. AND AFTER THAT IS NILESH PATEL.

THANK YOU. LIAM QUINN. 13452. MACHIAVELLI WAY.

I HAVE ALREADY BEEN SWORN IN, AND I WANT TO GIVE A CALL OUT TO MARCY AND TO BURT FOR HAVING TAKEN THE TIME TO ENGAGE WITH US.

[01:20:06]

IT WAS REALLY APPRECIATED. I KNOW YOU'RE ALL BUSY, AND I APPRECIATE KEVIN AND HIS TEAM FOR MAKING THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE LAST MINUTE THIS EVENING. SO THAT'S THAT'S VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. BUT AGAIN, TO JUST TO ADD TO WHAT LISA WAS SAYING, THE ISSUES WITH LIGHT POLLUTION AND NOISE POLLUTION, THEY'RE ONE AND THE SAME.

AND SO WE ASK IF, IF WE COULD AVOID THE SABAL PALMS BECAUSE THEY JUST DON'T SEEM TO DO ANYTHING.

IF WE COULD HAVE SOME DENSE CANOPY TREES. I UNDERSTAND IT'S AN ECONOMICS ISSUE.

OAK TREES COST ABOUT 2500 OR SO, AND A SABAL PALM IS ABOUT 300.

AND I THINK I THINK THAT'S MAYBE WHAT'S DRIVING SOME OF THIS.

BUT YOU KNOW, WE WOULD APPRECIATE AND I THINK YOU'VE HEARD FROM THE PETITION GROUP, WE HAVE ARTISTRY PEOPLE.

THERE'S OVER 1000 HOMEOWNERS WHO WHO DO HAVE VOTING RIGHTS AND ARE ASKING THE COUNCIL TO TO REALLY STEP UP AND PROTECT US A LITTLE BIT HERE.

AND WE APPRECIATE THE COMPROMISE. WE APPRECIATE ALL THE THINGS THAT THE HOSPITAL IS GOING TO ADD.

IT'S IT'S MOSTLY GOOD. I JUST WANT TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY OTHER NOTES HERE THAT I HAD.

YEAH. SO WE WOULD LIKE THE COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE SIGNAGE WAIVERS ON CONDITION OF A LITTLE BIT MORE EVIDENCE BASED LIGHT MITIGATION AND NOISE MITIGATION. SO THAT DENSE VEGETATION.

WE WERE HOPING TO HEAR FROM THE FORESTER. I DON'T THINK HE WAS AT THE LAST MEETING, BUT WE DIDN'T GET TO SPEAK.

WE DIDN'T GET TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS, SO WE WOULD LIKE SOMEBODY TO JUST MODIFY THAT A LITTLE BIT AND AND MAKE IT BETTER.

WE ALL WANT TO GET ALONG, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF LIGHT COMING FROM THERE, AND WE'RE REALLY APPRECIATING THAT.

THE OTHER TWO BUILDINGS WILL NOW NO LONGER HAVE SIGNAGE FACING US, AND HOPEFULLY THAT'S A PERMANENT THING THAT CAN'T BE RESCINDED AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE THAT'S A THAT'S A BIG NO NO FOR US. SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. AND NEXT IS NILESH PATEL.

NILESH PATEL I'VE BEEN SWORN IN. ADDRESS IS 13484 MACHIAVELLI WAY.

IT'S THE LAST HOME ON FACING 95 AND LOOKING AT ON THE SOUTH SIDE, LOOKING AT THE BUILDING.

I TRULY APPRECIATE WHAT KEN AND AND KEVIN AND THE HOSPITAL ARE DOING AND APPRECIATE THAT THEY'RE LISTENING TO US TRULY APPRECIATE TAKING THE TIME FOR OUR CONCERNS, BUT I HAVE A FEELING LIKE MY COLLEAGUES, MY NEIGHBORS SPOKE EXACTLY.

MY CONCERNS ARE THE SAME. AND I'VE SENT A LETTER TO TO ALL OF YOU WITH THE PICTURES SHOWING FROM MY BEDROOM AND BALCONY.

LIGHTS ARE GOING TO BE A PROBLEM FOR US. I WILL DEFINITELY GUARANTEE IT.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE IT, I'M HAPPY TO SHOW IT TO YOU BECAUSE THIS IS NOT IN MY OPINION, IT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO REALLY RUIN OUR QUALITY OF LIFE.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU COULD SEE IT FROM FROM HERE, BUT THIS IS WHAT I SEE FROM MY BEDROOM AND THE BALCONY AND SOME OF THE SITES THAT PLANNING AND ZONING SHOWED DIRECTLY FROM, FROM GROUND, FROM THE GROUND FLOOR, LOOKING AT THE HOSPITAL. I WISH THEY WOULD GO BACK AND RELOOK AT IT. THEY'RE WELCOME TO COME TO MY HOUSE AND LOOK AT IT TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT IT IN THE REAL LIFE, WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AND NOT MAKE ASSUMPTIONS BASED ON ACADEMICS.

REALLY TAKE A LOOK AT IT. BE IN PERSON. COME TO MY HOUSE, EVEN OUR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE.

TAKE A LOOK AT IT FROM ALL DIFFERENT ANGLES AND DIFFERENT VIEWS.

I DEFINITELY IF THEY ARE GOING TO PLANT TREES AND WHATEVER I SUGGEST AND I RECOMMEND SOMEBODY EXPERT IN FORESTRY OR AGRICULTURE, WHATEVER, I'M NOT THE EXPERT, BUT LOOK AT THIS SITUATION AND MITIGATE SOME OF THE ISSUE.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM HOSPITAL BEING THERE. I ACTUALLY SUPPORT IT, BUT I WOULD SAY CONDITIONAL APPROVAL BECAUSE IF THEY'RE GOING TO PLAN SOMETHING, IF IT'S GOING TO DIE, WHO'S GOING TO WHO'S GOING TO CALL THEM OUT, WHO'S GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT? I TOTALLY HAVE EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT I'M SEEING FROM MY BACK OF MY HOUSE TODAY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE TWO YEARS FROM NOW IF THEY'RE NOT TAKING CARE OF THE TREES OR THE LIGHTS OR WHATEVER, I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW IF THE HOSPITAL WOULD EVEN LISTEN TO ME OR WOULD EVEN TALK TO US.

I HAVE NO NOTHING TO GO WITH. SO I SUGGEST YOU KNOW COUNCIL.

PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT IT. LOOK AT THE PHOTOS THAT I SENT YOU.

I WELCOME YOU GUYS TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT FROM MY HOUSE.

YOU KNOW, LOOK AT IT DIRECTLY. YOU CAN SEE IT. THE LIGHT, EVEN EVEN THE SIGN THAT THEY MADE CHANGES.

EVEN ON THE SIDE. I HAVE A FEELING THAT WE'LL STILL SEE SOME LIGHT POLLUTION.

THE NOISE POLLUTION IS SOMETHING ELSE THAT I'M HOPING WITH THE PLANTATION AND VEGETATION MAY TAKE CARE OF IT, BUT I'M NOT CONVINCED. I'D SAY CONDITIONAL APPROVAL IS PROBABLY IN ORDER.

AND I WELCOME YOU GUYS TO COME AND TAKE A LOOK AT MY HOUSE. AND I'M HAPPY TO PLANNING AND ZONING TEAM TO EVEN TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

[01:25:05]

LOOK AT THE REAL ISSUE, NOT LOOK AT FROM THE ACADEMICS OR FROM THE ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE.

HAPPY TO HAVE YOU GUYS ON ON MY HOME AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, MR. PATEL. OKAY, I DO NOT HAVE ANY MORE COMMENT CARDS ON THIS ITEM.

SO I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING IT BACK.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? FOR THE PETITIONER AND OR STAFF.

YEAH, I CAN, I CAN START. I YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN BROUGHT UP TO SPEED.

I'VE TOURED THE HOSPITAL, I'VE MET WITH THE APPLICANT, MET AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES, MET WITH JEFF SEVERAL TIMES, MET AGAIN THIS MORNING WITH MR. PISANI. AND HIS MAIN CONCERN WAS THE SOUTH FACING SIGN.

AND THAT'S REALLY THE ONLY MAIN CONCERN HE HAD.

HE SAID HE COULD LIVE WITH THE LANDSCAPING AND THE DENSITY.

HE WAS CONCERNED A LITTLE BIT WITH THE DENSITY, BUT HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS GOING TO BE MONITORED.

AND THEY IF AND IF IT COULD BE CLEAR ABOUT IF IT WAS GOING TO BE MONITORED BY THE HOA OR IF IT WAS GOING TO BE MONITORED BY THE HOSPITAL.

AND ALSO, HE WAS VERY COMPLIMENTARY TO THE HOSPITAL AND STAFF AND THE COMMUNICATION AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.

HIS MAIN, MAIN, MAIN CONCERN WAS THAT SOUTH FACING SIGN AND I MET WITH HIM WITH JEFF, WITH MR. DILALLO AND MYSELF AND NATALIE AND MARTIN. WE WERE IN THAT ROOM AND HE SAID, THAT'S WHAT HE SAID.

SO I COMMEND THE STAFF AND THE APPLICANT ON THEIR PROACTIVITY TO MAKING THESE ARRANGEMENTS, TO CHANGE THE SIGNAGE AT THE LAST MINUTE, BECAUSE YOU REALLY HAVE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND.

AND THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT. HAVING SAID THAT, I, I HEAR A LITTLE BIT WITH THE LANDSCAPING AND I'M WONDERING IF WE CAN TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE LANDSCAPING. YOU GUYS ARE THE EXPERTS ON LANDSCAPING.

I KNOW IT'S HARD TO VISUALIZE THESE THINGS. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LIVING IN CONSTRUCTION, AND AND THESE THINGS TAKE TIME.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SABLE VERSUS OAKS VERSUS DENSITY FORESTRY.

AND I KNOW IT'S REALLY HARD TO VISUALIZE THESE THINGS, BUT HOW WE CAN HELP VISUALIZE AND ALSO MAYBE CLARIFY SOME OF THE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHO'S MONITORING THIS AND HOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE MAINTAINED MOVING FORWARD.

SO THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY. MADAM VICE MAYOR, I'M HAPPY TO ADDRESS THAT.

NOW, IF YOU IF THAT'S THE WILL OF THE COUNCIL, I'M GOING TO ASK NICK IF CAN YOU PLEASE PULL UP THE LANDSCAPING SLIDE THAT SHOWS THE ENHANCEMENTS. SO FIRST I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT OUR CITY FORESTER WORKED VERY CLOSELY ON THE LANDSCAPE PALETTE FOR THE FOR THIS PETITION.

AND SO WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT SPECIFIC SPECIES AND THE SPECIFIC LOCATION, IT WAS DONE WITH THE UTMOST CONSIDERATION OF THE EXISTING LANDSCAPING THAT'S ON SITE, AND TRY TO PICK AND CHOOSE THE MOST APPROPRIATE LANDSCAPING TO NOT ONLY PROVIDE THE BEST SCREENING, BUT TO BE ABLE TO BE HEALTHY AND THRIVE. AND SO, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES IF YOU IF YOU PLANT TOO DENSELY, YOU END UP CHOKING THE, THE LANDSCAPING AND IT ENDS UP NOT NOT DOING WELL.

SO THE STRATEGIC LANDSCAPING IS IMPORTANT. SO THE LANDSCAPING THAT NICK HAS JUST PULLED UP IN THE SCREEN, I THINK IS A REALLY GREAT EXHIBIT. AND IT ACTUALLY SPELLS OUT VERY CLEARLY WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED.

SO NICK WENT INTO DETAIL ON THAT SOUTHERN BUFFER.

SO ALONG THAT ENTIRE SOUTH BUFFER, YOU HAVE A 75 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER WITH A WITH A SIX FOOT BERM.

AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT SIX FOOT BERM YOU HAVE A SIX FOOT WALL AND LANDSCAPING ON BOTH SIDES.

WITHIN THAT LANDSCAPE BUFFER YOU HAVE OAK TREES, YOU HAVE HOLLIES, YOU HAVE SABLES.

AND YOU HAVE OTHER YOU HAVE DIFFERENT HEIGHTS OF, OF LIVE OAKS.

SO THAT GOES ALL UP, ALL UP AND DOWN. THAT SOUTHERN BUFFER, WHICH NICK MENTIONED IS DOUBLE THE REQUIREMENT PLUS JOINS THE 25.

SO IT'S DOING YOU KNOW JUST KEEP IN MIND THIS IS A YOUNG BUFFER.

ALL RIGHT. SO THIS IS THIS THIS PROJECT IS PRETTY NEW.

IT WAS JUST APPROVED IN 2022. AND THE SITE IS ACTIVELY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

SO YOU KNOW FOR THE TIME IN WHICH IT HAS BEEN PLACED.

THE LANDSCAPING IS DOING WELL. THIS LANDSCAPING WILL ONLY CONTINUE TO GROW IF YOU LOOK AT SOME OF OUR.

IF YOU LOOK AT OUR HISTORY ACROSS THE STREET, IF YOU LOOK AT ANY OF THE PARKWAYS IN OUR CITY, YOU WILL SEE THE GROWTH. IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF TIME BEFORE THESE TREES GROW UP AND PROVIDE THE THE ACTUAL DEARTH THAT ONE CAN EXPECT.

BUT FOR NOW, THIS BUFFER IS DOING VERY WELL. SO THOSE SABAL PALM, SABAL PALMS ARE YOU KNOW, A PALM TREE IS NOT A PALM TREE IS NOT A PALM TREE.

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PALM TREES THAT CAN BE SELECTED.

YOU HAVE ALEXANDERS, YOU HAVE MONTGOMERYS. YOU HAVE ALL OF THESE PALM TREES THAT SERVE DIFFERENT PURPOSES.

SABLES, THEIR DIAMETER CAN GET TO BE PRETTY SIGNIFICANT.

[01:30:03]

OUR OUR CITY FORESTER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT, YOU KNOW, SABLE PALMS. THE DIAMETER OF THE HEAD OF THOSE SABLES CAN BE UP TO 15FT AT THEIR WHEN AFTER THEY'VE BEEN INSTALLED.

SO THE, THE THE PALETTE HAS BEEN VERY CAREFULLY LOOKED AT AND RECOMMENDED.

WE HAVE LOOKED AT ALL THE TREES, THE LOCATION, THE CITY FORESTER HAS GONE OUT ON SITE AND HAS WALKED THIS WITH THE APPLICANT, SO WE FEEL CONFIDENT THAT WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN REFLECTS A VERY, VERY THOROUGHLY VETTED PROPOSED LANDSCAPE PLAN.

SO THAT'S THE LANDSCAPING NUMBER ONE MAINTENANCE I-95 BUFFER IS BEING IS A PCD BUFFER.

SO WHEN ALTON WAS MASTER PLANNED, YOU HAVE A MASTER ENTITY THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MASTER COMMON ELEMENTS.

SO YOU DO HAVE THE MASTER ASSOCIATION, THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION THAT FROM WHAT WE UNDERSTAND MAINTAINS THAT BUFFER.

ALL RIGHT. SO THEN THE SOUTHERN BUFFER IS A DIFFERENT ENTITY. THAT'S THE HOSPITAL.

SO BUT NO MATTER WHO IS THE RESPONSIBLE ENTITY, THE CITY'S PERFORMANCE CODES ENSURE THAT IF THERE IS AN ISSUE, WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT LANDSCAPING STANDARDS ARE ADHERED TO.

AND I THINK YOU CAN SEE IN THE CITY AND OUR INCREDIBLE CODE ENFORCEMENT TEAM.

YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY THEY REALLY DO A GREAT PROACTIVE JOB ADDRESSING LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE ISSUES.

SO THE LAST THING I'LL SAY IS THAT THE SITE IS AN ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION SITE.

RIGHT. SO YOU HAVE IRRIGATION BREAKS. YOU HAVE A SITE THAT'S RECENTLY, YOU KNOW, THAT'S ONGOING ACTIVITY.

AND SO THAT TENDS TO SOMETIMES SOMETIMES IT JUST TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF TIME FOR THAT LANDSCAPING TO GROW IN.

SO I THINK IN THE PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING, I DID ACTUALLY MENTION THAT SOME OF THAT UNDERSTORY VEGETATION IS DEAD AND DYING IN THE 95 BUFFER. AND SO THE APPLICANT IS AWARE OF THAT.

AND WITH THESE ADDITIONAL TREES THAT ARE BEING PLANTED IN THE I-95 BUFFER, YOU KNOW, THAT'S ALL GOING TO BE CLEANED UP.

AND IN THE RESOLUTION ITSELF, THERE'S A THERE'S A TIGHT TIME FRAME.

IF IT'S APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL THIS EVENING, THE APPLICANT HAS COMMITTED THAT THEY WOULD GO RIGHT AWAY TO START INSTALLING THIS LANDSCAPING. AND THEY HAVE A TIME FRAME OF 60 DAYS FROM THE TIME OF APPROVAL.

SO THEY'RE VERY ANXIOUS TO GET GOING WITH THAT LANDSCAPING.

SO, MADAM VICE MAYOR, I HOPE THAT ANSWERS SOME OF THE QUESTIONS.

YEAH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I'LL LET SOMEBODY ELSE. THANK YOU.

COUNCIL MEMBER REED DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT OR STAFF? ACTUALLY, THE VICE MAYOR DID A GREAT JOB TAKING ALMOST ALL OF MY QUESTIONS, WHICH IS GREAT.

VERY THOROUGH. NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY.

SO AS WE ARE WITH OUR LANDSCAPING CODE, THIS IS ALREADY EXCEEDING IT BY 142%.

AND SO THEY'VE GOT THEY HAVE A BUFFER OF THEIR OWN. AND WE HAVE OUR BUFFER.

AND OKAY. AND YOU'RE WHAT YOU JUST MENTIONED ABOUT TIMING AND REPLACEMENT OF DEAD SHRUBBERY IS HELPFUL.

THANK YOU. I MIGHT COME BACK FOR MORE COMMENTS DEPENDING ON WHAT EVERYONE ELSE DECIDES TO TALK ABOUT.

SO GO AHEAD. OKAY, I JUST HAVE A FEW IN TERMS OF THE IRRIGATION ALONG 95, IS THAT IN PLACE AND WORKING FROM THE ALTON PCD? I MEAN, IS THERE ACTUAL IRRIGATION THERE? SO WHEN THIS NEW LANDSCAPING IS PLANTED. IT'S YES, I DO BELIEVE THAT THE IRRIGATION IS THERE.

AND SO FROM WHAT? FROM THE LATEST THAT I'M AWARE OF, THE IRRIGATION IS INSTALLED.

OKAY. YEAH. IN TERMS OF THE OFFICE BUILDING, LET'S JUST CONFIRM.

NO SIGN. SIGN ON THE SOUTH. CORRECT. IS THERE A PARKING GARAGE OR IS IT JUST AN OFFICE BUILDING WITH PARKING AROUND THE PERIMETER? PARKING? IT'S PARKED. IT'S A FOUR STOREY OFFICE BUILDING WITH SURFACE PARKING.

OKAY. THANK YOU. IN TERMS OF LANDSCAPING, 60 DAYS TO PUT IT ALL IN.

THAT'S THE SOUTH SIDE AND THE WEST SIDE. YES.

OKAY. SIGN NUMBER FOUR IS AT THE SAME SIZE AS SIGN NUMBER TWO.

YES. IT IS ON THE NORTH SIDE. OKAY. THE OFFICE BUILDING IS 500FT² AWAY.

YOU KNOW, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN KIND OF FASCINATED ABOUT WHY THERE'S NOT A WALL THERE.

AND WHEN I MET WITH STAFF AND WE TALKED ABOUT HOW REALLY THE FORESTRY SIDE OF IT IS A LOT BETTER, AND AS I GO HOME AT NIGHT AND I GO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S REALLY TRUE BECAUSE I LIVE THREE HOUSES WEST OF 95 AND THERE'S A WALL, BUT THERE'S NO TREES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT WALL.

AND I SWEAR I HEAR ALL THAT NOISE. IT'S BRUTAL COMING OVER THE WALL.

SO I'M HOPING WHAT'S PLANTED THERE AS IT GROWS AND DEVELOPS AND COMES TOGETHER.

A LOT OF THAT NOISE COMING IN FROM THAT CORRIDOR IS GOING TO STOP.

SO I'M A BELIEVER THAT I'M I KNOW PEOPLE KEEP TALKING ABOUT WALLS AND WIDEN THEIR WALL.

AND I THINK IF YOU GO TO ARTISTRY, SOMETIMES I THINK IF YOU GO IN THERE AND ASK THEM, THEY COULD PROBABLY HEAR SOME SOME NOISE OVER THAT WALL LOUDER THAN WHAT THEY THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE. SO I'M A BELIEVER THAT WHATEVER THEY PLANT THERE, LET'S GET IT FULL, LET'S GET IT GROWING, LET'S GET IT IRRIGATED AND GET THAT FILLED IN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR THE RESIDENTS AND THEN ALSO FOR THE BEAUTIFICATION OF THE HOSPITAL SITE.

OKAY. THE 60 DAY TIME FRAME WAS IMPORTANT FOR ME, SO THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING THAT.

[01:35:01]

THAT'S ALL I HAD. THANK YOU. AND SO THE ONLY OTHER QUESTION I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THE WESTERN SO THAT WOULD BE THE 95 BUFFER IS MAINTAINED BY THE MASTER ASSOCIATION.

OR AM I INCORRECT? IT IS MAINTAINED BY THE HOSPITAL.

IT'S A IT'S A PCD BUFFER. SO IT'S A PLANNED COMMUNITY DISTRICT BUFFER BUFFER.

IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE'S A HIGH LEVEL MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT THAT COLTER HAS ENTERED INTO WITH NORTHERN.

AND SO THE RESPONSIBILITY IS BORNE UPON THE HOA TO ADDRESS THAT.

THE HOA WOULD BE THE ONE WHO WOULD RECEIVE ANY CITATION IF THERE WAS A IF THERE WAS MATERIAL, IF THERE WAS ANY ISSUE. OKAY. OKAY. AND THEN SO MY QUESTION IS WHOMEVER IS MAINTAINING IT THE I 95 BUFFER OR ACTUALLY THE SOUTHERN BUFFER IF THAT'S THE CASE. WHOEVER IS MAINTAINING EITHER OF THEM, ISN'T IT THEIR PREROGATIVE TO ALLOW THAT SHRUB MATERIAL, WHETHER IT BE CLUSIA OR COCO PLUM, WHICH IS A NATIVE MATERIAL WHICH WILL GROW QUITE TALL? COULD THEY MAINTAIN THAT AT A TEN FOOT HEIGHT, SO TO SPEAK, JUST LIKE FRENCHMAN'S CREEK DID FOR THEIR, YOU KNOW, BUFFER TO THE MAINTENANCE FACILITY AT A HIGHER HEIGHT THAN WHAT I KNOW.

THE INSTALLED HEIGHT WAS FIVE FOOT, AS SHOWN IN OUR BACKUP MATERIAL, BUT TO MAINTAIN IT IN PERPETUITY, THEY COULD STILL ALLOW THAT TO GROW AND GROW AND GROW.

CORRECT. I MEAN, THE THE, YOU KNOW, AS THEY GROW EXTREMELY TALL, THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS DEVELOPMENT ORDER.

THERE IS NO THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS FOR, FOR MAINTAINING THAT SHRUBBERY AT LOW, HIGH, YOU KNOW, 4 OR 5FT, IT CAN GROW AND GROW AND GROW. OKAY.

SO I MEAN, THAT'S ANOTHER GREAT OPTION BECAUSE THOSE TWO PLANT MATERIALS, BOTH OF THOSE NATIVE PLANT MATERIALS, WOULD ACT AS A MEDIUM BUFFER FROM THE WALL. IN FACT, IF THE WALL IS AT FIVE FOOT HEIGHT, THEN IT WOULD ACTUALLY COULD ACTUALLY DOUBLE THAT BUFFER BY ALLOWING THAT MATERIAL TO GROW AND BE THE MID-RANGE BETWEEN THE ONE STORY AND ACTUALLY UP TO THE TWO STOREY.

MY NEIGHBORS CLUSIA HEDGES UP TO HIS ROOF LINE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS TO PROTECT HIM FROM HIS NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE.

SO. AND IT'S CLUSIA, AND IT GROWS JUST AS NICE AS LONG AS IT'S MAINTAINED PROPERLY.

SO I APPRECIATE YOU SAYING THAT. AND I DO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR MODIFYING THE PLAN IN SUCH A QUICK TIME FRAME. THANK YOU TO STAFF FOR GOING OUT ON SITE, SPECIFICALLY LOOKING AT WHERE THE HOLES WERE IN THE BUFFER TO PINPOINT THOSE LOCATIONS FOR THE MATERIAL. I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE TO HAVE A DIALOG BETWEEN THE NEIGHBORS AND BETWEEN THE THE NON RESIDENTIAL, THE HOSPITAL, BECAUSE YOU GUYS HAVE TO LIVE TOGETHER FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

AND I DO APPRECIATE YOU ELIMINATING THE SOUTH SIDE SOUTH THE SOUTHERN FACING SIGN.

BECAUSE THAT SEEMS TO BE OUT OF THE MANY EMAILS I RECEIVED.

THAT SEEMS TO BE THE THE STICKING POINT FROM EVERYBODY AND ELIMINATING THE SIGN.

I KNOW THAT THE OFFICE SIGN WAS ACTUALLY MORE FACING TOWARDS 95, BUT ELIMINATING THAT ALSO BECAUSE IT WAS SOMEWHAT SOUTHERN FACING AS WELL, WAS VERY GOOD. IT SHOWS THAT YOU GUYS ARE ACTING AS AN EXCELLENT NEIGHBOR AS YOU HAVE BEEN FROM DAY ONE, BY MOVING THE BUILDING AND THE LOADING AND THE OTHER THINGS THAT YOU'VE DONE.

SO WE ALL WANT TO GET ALONG. WE ALL WANT EVERYBODY TO BE HAPPY.

THE RESIDENTS HAVE TO LIVE THERE. WE'RE NOT FOREVER UNTIL THEY SELL THEIR HOUSE, BUT THEY HAVE TO LIVE THERE AND LOOK AT THE HOSPITAL AND HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW, NOT HAVE TO GO FOR EMERGENCY PURPOSES, BUT IT'S THERE IF THEY NEED IT.

AND IT IS A FAMILY COMMUNITY. SO APPRECIATE THE PLANT PALETTE.

THE BUFFER, EVERYONE WORKING TOGETHER. AND THE CHANGE THAT WAS DONE VERY QUICKLY TO APPEASE EVERYBODY. AND IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE A COMPROMISE BECAUSE THAT NOBODY WINS PERFECTLY.

BUT EVERYONE HAS A COMPROMISE. COMPROMISE? THAT MEANS IT WAS AN EXCELLENT PLAN.

SO I WOULD LIKE I CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ALREADY, AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A MOTION.

AND I THINK THE MOTION HAS TO BE AS AMENDED BY THE APPLICANT OR AS PRESENTED AND AMENDED BY THE APPLICANT BECAUSE THERE WAS A CHANGE.

CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. THERE WAS THERE WERE A COUPLE OF ADDITIONAL WAIVERS.

SO IT SHOULD BE AS AS AMENDED BY THE APPLICANT AND PRESENTED BY STAFF.

AND WE WILL JUST THAT CAN BE THE MOTION. JUST TO MAKE YOU AWARE, WE HAVE THIS ON THE RECORD.

WE HAVE ALL THESE MATERIALS AND MAKE SURE THAT THE RESOLUTION IS AMENDED PROPERLY SO THAT ALL THIS IS PROPERLY DOCUMENTED. THANK YOU. MAX. SO MAY I PLEASE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED AND AMENDED BY THE APPLICANT AND PRESENTED BY STAFF.

[01:40:06]

A MOTION. SO MOVED. SORRY, I DIDN'T HEAR YOU.

MOTION AND A SECOND. OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION. AND A SECOND.

HI. GOOD EVENING. VALENTINA BERGOGLIO WITH URBAN DESIGN STUDIO, ON BEHALF OF US FOR THE ALTA MEDICAL CENTER.

ART IN PUBLIC PLACES. SO, AS YOU HEARD EARLIER TONIGHT, THE HOSPITAL IS EAST OF 95 ALONG PASTURE BOULEVARD.

THE DEVELOPMENT WAS APPROVED UNDER RESOLUTION TWO 2023.

23. IT APPROVED 300 HOSPITAL BEDS, A HELISTOP AND A MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING.

SO THE PROPOSED ART SCULPTURES THERE ARE GOING TO BE A TOTAL OF FOUR TWO, WHICH WILL BE THE TREE OF LIFE AND ONE WILL BE THE UNIT C.

BLUEBELL WILDFLOWERS WILL BE ON A BED OF LANDSCAPING, BOUGAINVILLEA AND CALUSA TO AVOID FLAMMABILITY.

AND THEN UNIT B AND UNIT A WILL BE WILL HAVE A FOUNTAIN AS THEIR BASE.

ALL SCULPTURES ARE GOING TO HAVE A PLAQUE NEARBY, WHICH WILL HAVE A DESCRIPTION OF THE ARTIST WHO IS HERE TONIGHT, AND WILL PRESENT THE ART LATER ON. AND HOW ALL THESE SCULPTURES INTERACT WITH ONE ANOTHER.

SO UNIT. EXCUSE ME. UNIT C AND THE TREE OF LIFE WILL BE PROPOSED ALONG PASTURE BOULEVARD WITHIN PASTURE PARK.

IT IS A PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY PARK. THE OTHER TWO WILDFLOWER UNITS WILL BE ON THE FOUNTAIN ARE MORE TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE HOSPITAL CAMPUS AND TOWARDS THE ENTRANCE, SO THEY ARE WITHIN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AROUND THE HOSPITAL CAMPUS.

THE REQUIREMENT THE 1% AAPE REQUIREMENT IS MET AS THE ESTIMATED VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION COST IS ABOUT 2000.

I'M SORRY. TWO 200,000,364 459 AND THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE 1% IS 02,000,003 6400. I'M SORRY. SIX 2 MILLION. THERE'S A LOT OF NUMBERS UP HERE.

AND IT'S LATE. SO 2,003,645. AND I WILL NOW TURN IT OVER TO THE ARTIST TO TALK ABOUT THE ARTWORK.

THANK YOU. VALENTINA. MY NAME IS DAN SHAUGHNESSY, THE FOURTH.

I'M A SCULPTOR. I'VE BEEN SWORN IN. YOU KNOW, I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE IN FRONT OF YOU GUYS AGAIN.

THIS IS ONE OF THE NEWEST PROJECTS I'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS.

THE TREE OF LIFE IS ONE OF THE MOST COMPLICATED SCULPTURES WE'VE WORKED ON. REALLY EXCITED TO PRESENT IT TO YOU GUYS AND SHOW YOU THE FULL DETAILS OF THIS PROJECT.

AS YOU KNOW, MY NAME IS DAN SHAUGHNESSY. THE FOURTH I DO LARGE SCALE SCULPTURES.

OF COURSE WE HAVE FUTURE PROJECTS. AND ALSO THE PALM BEACH PALM BEACH GARDEN BLOOMS IN PALM BEACH GARDENS.

YOU KNOW FOR PROJECTS LIKE THIS, WHEN WE HAVE TO INSTALL SCULPTURES IN CATEGORY FIVE WIND GUST LOCATIONS, WE BUILD TEAMS WITH THE BEST ENGINEERS, THE BEST FABRICATORS, AND SOME OF THE BEST LIGHTING TEAMS. JUST TO KIND OF GO INTO DETAILS FOR THE TEAM.

YOU GUYS ALREADY KNOW ABOUT RUU AND EOS LIGHT MEDIA.

THEY WORKED ON THE PALM BEACH BLOOMS AS WELL AS THEY'RE WORKING ON SOLARIS AND HELPING ME WITH LODI, WHICH IS ANOTHER PROJECT THAT'S COMING TO PALM BEACH.

PALM BEACH GARDENS THE MOST SPECIAL ASPECT OF THIS TEAM IS URBAN ART PROJECTS.

I'VE BEEN CHASING THEM FOR ABOUT FOUR YEARS NOW.

THEY ARE ONE OF THE BEST LARGE SCALE FABRICATORS IN THE WORLD.

THEY ARE KNOWN FOR MAKING THE OSCARS, BUT INTERNATIONALLY, THEY'RE MORE KNOWN FOR BUILDING SOME OF THE MOST COMPLICATED, LARGE SCALE PIECES IN THE WORLD. THEIR FOUNDRY IS IN THE UNITED STATES.

IT'S IN NEW YORK. THEY HAVE ONE OF THE LAST FOUNDRIES IN THE US.

AND THEIR THEIR FOUNDRY IN PARTICULAR, IS ABLE TO CAST SOME OF THE LARGEST SECTIONS IN THE WORLD.

SO THEY'RE ABLE TO BUILD VERY, VERY BIG, COMPLICATED THINGS.

THE TREE OF LIFE YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO SAY HAS BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS WHOLE PROJECT.

THEY'VE KIND OF GIVEN ME ALL THIS GUIDANCE AND KIND OF LET ME HAVE FREE REIN ON THIS IDEA.

AND I WILL SAY, YOU KNOW, WE'VE LOOKED AT MULTIPLE OPTIONS AND IDEAS FOR THIS PROJECT, SOMETHING THAT'S BEFITTING TO PALM BEACH GARDENS SOMETHING THAT BEAUTIFIES THE CITY BUT ALSO TIES INTO THE CONCEPT OF THE THE HOSPITAL AND WHAT THE HOSPITAL IS DOING FOR THE COMMUNITY.

YOU KNOW, FOR ME AND I HAVE TO TIP MY HAT TO URBAN DESIGN STUDIO.

I, YOU KNOW, ANALYZE THOSE LANDSCAPE DRAWINGS THEY WORKED ON.

[01:50:03]

AND IF YOU REALLY LOOK AT THEM IN DETAIL, THEY'RE QUITE OVER THE TOP.

THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF VEGETATION AND TREES.

PROBABLY. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE NUMBER IS. IT'S FOR IT'S LIKE 50 OR 70 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

YOU MIGHT NEED TO ASK ROB. YEAH. YEAH. BUT I TOOK INSPIRATION OFF THAT.

AND YOU KNOW, FOR I LOOKED AT THESE THESE DRAWINGS, OF COURSE.

AND THE SOUTHERN LIVE OAK WAS SOMETHING THAT KIND OF STUCK OUT TO ME.

OF COURSE, WHEN I WAS INTRODUCED OR WAS SELECTED FOR THE PROJECT, I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ALAN B MILLER OR HIS HIS CAREER IN THE THE HEALTH CARE WORLD.

BUT THE MORE I ANALYZED IT, THE MORE I WAS ACTUALLY BLOWN AWAY BY THE MAN.

HE HAS. AMAZING. AWARDS AND ACCOLADES. I THINK ONE OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD WOULD BE I THINK HE WAS THE AMERICA'S TOP 100 INNOVATIVE CEOS.

I FORGOT WHAT YEAR THAT WAS, BUT IT'S IT'S A LONG LIST.

SO, YOU KNOW, I WANTED TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT EXEMPLIFIED HIS CAREER, BUT ALSO KIND OF TIED TO THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS BEAUTIFYING PALM BEACH GARDENS.

SO TO ME, IT WAS, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS KNOW ME.

I LIKE TO MAKE FLOWERS AND ANIMALS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

BUT TO ME, IT DIDN'T IT DIDN'T SEEM BEFITTING TO TO GIVE A TO GIVE ALAN B MILLER YOU KNOW, A A OR A FLOWER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO ME.

YOU KNOW, THE SOUTHERN LIVE OAK IS A VERY INTERESTING TREE.

IT CAN WITHSTAND HURRICANE WINDS. IT'S ONE OF THE LONGEST LIVING TREES IN THE WORLD.

ANOTHER WEIRD FACT WAS, YOU KNOW, THERE'S OVER 100 DIFFERENT SPECIES THAT ACTUALLY LIVE IN AND AROUND THE SOUTHERN LIVE OAK.

TO ME, IT WAS IT KIND OF EXEMPLIFIED EVERYTHING THAT ALAN B MILLER STOOD FOR.

SO IT WAS KIND OF AN EASY CHOICE. AND LUCKILY US WAS VERY SUPPORTIVE IN THE SELECTION.

AND AS I SAID, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY FOR THE PAST FOUR MONTHS, WE'VE BEEN I'VE BEEN IN AND OUT OF ENGINEERING MEETINGS FOR THIS PROJECT.

IT IS EVERY SQUARE INCH OF THIS PROJECT OR TREE HAS TO WITHSTAND 170 MILE PER HOUR WINDS.

SO EVERY EVEN THE LEAF AND THE LEAF ATTACHMENTS ALL HAVE TO BE ENGINEERED.

AND IT'S FASCINATING TO KIND OF SIT IN THESE MEETINGS AND WATCH THESE GUYS, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY THE LEAVES. THERE'S ALWAYS YOU SEE THEM PUT THESE YOU KNOW, THE TREE IN THESE 3D PROGRAMS AND SEE HOW IT REACTS.

AND IT'S YOU KNOW, I'M GETTING GRAY HAIRS ON MY HEAD AND I KNOW THEY ARE TOO, BUT THE PROJECT IS, IS TRULY, I THINK, ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT PROJECTS WE'VE CREATED.

AND THE GREAT THING ABOUT WORKING WITH SOMEONE LIKE UAP IS IT'S AN INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN PROJECT.

THIS WILL KIND OF ELEVATE, YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY ME, BUT ALL THE PROJECTS HERE IN PALM BEACH GARDENS.

AND JUST TO KIND OF TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SCULPTURE ITSELF, YOU KNOW, THIS THE WAY I WANTED THIS TREE TO ACT OR THIS ENVIRONMENT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I SAID ABOUT URBAN DESIGN? YOU KNOW, THEY CREATED THIS WONDERFUL SANCTUARY. HOW DO WE KIND OF ADD ON TO THAT? YOU KNOW, THE CHERRY ON TOP. AND, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE REALLY ULTIMATELY WANTED TO DO WAS CREATE SOMETHING THAT A PEACEFUL LOCATION, WHETHER IT'S PEOPLE, WHETHER IT'S STAFF MEMBERS, PEOPLE THAT ARE ACTUALLY VISITING THE HOSPITAL OR EVEN PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY CAN GO TO THIS LOCATION, YOU KNOW, THE TREE OR ANY OF THE BLUEBELLS.

AND IT HAS THIS MEDITATIVE, KIND OF RELAXING EXPERIENCE.

JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE DETAILS ABOUT THE TREE, THE TREE IS 100% CASTED FROM 316 MARINE GRADE STAINLESS STEEL.

IT'S ROUGHLY 18FT TALL WITH A 20 FOOT CANOPY.

THERE WILL BE ROUGHLY ABOUT 330 LEAF CLUSTERS IN THIS TREE.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S A 16 FOOT PLANTER BOX UNDERNEATH IT.

ALL THE VEGETATION GOING IN THERE IS TO HINDER PEOPLE FROM GOING IN THERE.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMEONE TRY. APPARENTLY, IT WOULD BE VERY, VERY PAINFUL.

AND AS WELL, WE'LL HAVE LIGHTS ACTUALLY SHINING UP ON THE TREE AND THE LIGHTS INTEGRATED IN THE TREE.

AND JUST TO KIND OF TIE INTO WHAT I WAS SAYING BEFORE, YOU KNOW, WE REALLY WANT TO CREATE THIS MEDITATIVE, RELAXING SANCTUARY. WE KNOW WHERE THE LOCATION OF THIS TREE IS LOCATED, SO WE DON'T WANT IT TO BE TOO DISTRACTING.

IT'S MORE FOR A NICE, CALM LOCATION FOR PEOPLE TO RELAX AND KIND OF HAVE A MOMENT.

AND JUST ADDING ON TO THE LIGHTING TECHNOLOGY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WORKING WITH US, LIGHT MEDIA, WHO WORK ON SOME OF THE GREATEST LIGHT SHOWS IN THE WORLD, WHETHER IT'S A SUPER BOWL OR THE SPHERE OR WHATEVER LOCATION.

WE REALLY WANT TO GIVE YOU GUYS SOMETHING THAT'S SPECIAL. THAT, OF COURSE, IS NOT TOO DISTRACTING, BUT IS ALSO VERY APPEASING. AND THEN TALKING TO THE ABOUT THE BLUEBELLS, YOU KNOW, THE IDEA WAS, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALL THESE SPECIES OF PLANT LIFE THAT ACTUALLY LIVE WITHIN THE UNDERNEATH THE TREE.

THE BLUEBELL WILDFLOWERS IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THOSE SPECIES AS WELL. AND WE WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, LEAN INTO THIS IDEA OF THE SANCTUARY AND HOW DO WE ACTUALLY CREATE THAT? AND UNIT A AND UNIT B WILL ACTUALLY BE IN THIS MIRROR KIND OF GLASS FOUNTAIN.

BEAUTIFUL. WITH THESE SIMPLE LIGHT SYSTEMS IN IT.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A VERY RELAXING. ACTUALLY, I NEED TO GO BACK.

SORRY, GUYS. I SKIPPED A LITTLE BIT. THERE'S ACTUALLY A MOTION SENSOR IN THIS PLANTER BOX.

SO THE WHOLE IDEA IS WHEN YOU ACTUALLY INTERACT WITH THE TREE, YOU'RE ACTUALLY INTERACTING WITH ALL THE BLUEBELLS IN THIS LOCATION.

SO IF I GO BACK TO THE LET ME SEE HERE. I DON'T HAVE THE SITE PLAN.

[01:55:02]

I'M SORRY. SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT? THE TREE IS ACTUALLY RIGHT BELOW THE PASTURE BOULEVARD, THAT YELLOW CIRCLE.

SO WHOEVER INTERACTS WITH THAT LOCATION, IT IS REFLECTED TO THE REST OF THE CAMPUS.

THE THE REST OF THE, THE HOSPITAL LOCATION. JUST CREATING THIS KIND OF CONNECTION AND THAT EVERYTHING IS, YOU KNOW, CONNECTED TOGETHER. AND LIKE I SAID YOU KNOW, UNIT B IS THE SAME AS UNIT A WILL HAVE A MIRROR FOUNTAIN, JUST SLIGHTLY SMALLER. THREE FLOWER HEADS MADE FROM 3/16 STAINLESS STEEL WITH LIGHT SYSTEMS INSIDE.

AND THIS IS JUST AN OVERHEAD VIEW OF WHAT THE THE FOUNTAIN WOULD LOOK LIKE.

AND THIS IS UNIT C, IT WILL NOT HAVE A FOUNTAIN.

THIS IS ACTUALLY IN THE SAME LOCATION, THE SAME STRIP AS THE TREE OF LIFE WILL HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF VEGETATION AS THE TREE OF LIFE.

AND LIKE I SAID, ANOTHER RELAXING LOCATION WHERE STAFF MEMBERS CAN GO AND AND HAVE A MOMENT AND YOU KNOW, THIS IS JUST A QUICK LITTLE DRAWING OR RENDERING OF THE HOW COMPLICATED THE TREE IS.

BUT REGARDING MAINTENANCE, IT'S BASICALLY LIKE ALL THE SCULPTURES WE INSTALL IN PALM BEACH.

IT'S THREE 60 MARINE GRADE. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT TO USE ANY POWER WASH ON THESE SCULPTURES IF THERE IS ANY BLEMISHES OR DAMAGE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, CONTACT US AND WE WILL. BUT SIMILAR TO THE PALM BEACH BLOOMS, IT'S THIS TREE WILL HAVE A SATIN MIRROR FINISH.

SO IF YOU WENT TO THE PALM BEACH BLOOMS TODAY AND YOU LOOKED AT THEM, IT WOULD BE A VERY SIMILAR KIND OF FINISH.

AND WE REALLY FELT LIKE THAT WAS BEFITTING FOR THE SCULPTURE ITSELF.

AND THAT'S IT. I'LL LET VALENTINA JUMP IN AND FINISH IT OFF.

SO I DID JUST WANT TO ADD THAT WE DID RECEIVE UNANIMOUS APPROVAL FROM THE AIP BOARD LAST MONTH.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANY STAFF PRESENTATIONS AS WELL? GOOD EVENING, MADAM MAYOR AND COUNCIL STAFF DOES NOT HAVE ADDITIONAL PRESENTATION, BUT DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 70 2025.

THANK YOU. AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY COMMENT CARDS ON THIS ITEM.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR THE ARTIST, PETITIONER AND OR STAFF? GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. SO ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL PROJECT.

SO AND THIS ONE IS SO EXPANSIVE AROUND THE HOSPITAL PROPERTY.

SO IT'S VERY NICE HOW YOU INCORPORATED ALL THE ART INTO THE FABRIC OF THE HOSPITAL TO BRING IT ALL TOGETHER.

SO IT'S NICE TO SEE THAT. QUESTION ABOUT THE MAINTENANCE.

YOU SAID A LOT OF THINGS YOU SHOULDN'T DO TO TO MAINTAIN IT, TO TO WASH IT AND DON'T USE PRESSURE.

SO HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN IT? HOW DO YOU HOW DO YOU WASH IT? SCULPTURES LIKE THE PALM BEACH BLOOMS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD ACTUALLY APPROACH THE SCULPTURE WITH A HOSE. YOU DON'T WANT TO USE ANY TYPE OF POWER WASH TO KIND OF BLEMISH THE SURFACE OF THE MATERIAL, JUST TO KEEP IT.

YOU KNOW, WE WANT THIS MATERIAL TO LAST FOR 20 OR 30 YEARS.

WE DON'T WANT ANY ISSUES WITH THAT. BUT GOING OVER WITH THE LIGHT HOSE OVER THE SCULPTURE SHOULD BE NO ISSUE, JUST LIKE THE PALM BEACH BLOOMS. OKAY, GREAT.

THANK YOU. IT IS BEAUTIFUL. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.

COUNCIL MEMBER REED. DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? YEAH, SURE.

HOW LUCKY ARE WE THAT YOU'VE COME TO PALM BEACH GARDENS? THANK YOU.

I THINK THE BLOOMS ARE ICONIC WITH PALM BEACH GARDENS NOW, I DON'T I DON'T SEE A HEADSHOT FOR ANYONE IN PALM BEACH GARDENS THESE DAYS.

IT DOESN'T HAVE IT IN THE BACKGROUND. SO I THINK WE'LL SEE MORE OF THIS AND JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO UNDERSTAND OUR COMMUNITY TO TO REALLY LOOK INTO THE HISTORY OF ALAN B MILLER. I TOO WAS BLOWN AWAY BY HIS HISTORY AND HIS FAMILY AND EVERYTHING.

AND YOU'RE PULLING IT IN TOGETHER WITH THE TREE OF LIFE. AND I THINK HE WOULD HAVE LIKED A FLOWER. BUT THE TREE IS EXCEPTIONAL.

SO, NO, THIS IS YOU KNOW, WE'RE SO GLAD FOR YOU.

I'VE IS CONSISTENTLY MAKING WONDERFUL PRODUCTS.

WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE EVERYTHING THAT'S COMING OUT. AND I WON'T BE IN OFFICE IN MAY.

WHEN? MAY 22ND. YOU GUYS SAID IT'LL BE OUT, SO PLEASE SEND AN INVITATION SO I CAN COME SEE IT.

THAT'S A REALLY EXCITED. THANK YOU. WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S DONE FOR THE SCAVENGER HUNT NEXT YEAR.

RIGHT. SO NO, I LOVE THAT IDEA. I THINK THE APE.

MOST CITIES DON'T DO THAT. AND TO ME, IT'S JUST KIND OF A, YOU KNOW, WHY DO YOU HAVE THIS PUBLIC ART IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LEAN INTO IT? AND WE HAVE TREMENDOUS PIECES AROUND THE CITY.

SO I JUST DROVE TO THE CITY. YOU GUYS REALLY DO.

IT'S AMAZING. YEAH. SO BUT NO, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK AS USUAL.

IT'S IT'S SPECTACULAR. AND THANK YOU FOR THE HOSPITAL FOR, YOU KNOW, FOR ALL YOU DO YOU'RE GOING TO DO IN THE FUTURE.

AND THE CONTRIBUTION IS THE NUMBERS ARE PRETTY SIZABLE.

IT'S PRETTY AMAZING. BUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO GET IS GOING TO BE WORTH MORE THAN THAT $2 MILLION.

IT'S GOING TO BE SPECTACULAR. SO THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

I, I SHARE THE COMMENTS HERE WITH MY COLLEAGUES.

AND I DO WANT TO ADD IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.

I LOVE THE INTERACTION AND FOUND THE WRITE UP ACTUALLY THAT YOU DID IN OUR BACKUP MATERIAL WITH THE ENGINEERING, THE CASTING AND THE LIGHTING METHODOLOGY. QUITE INTERESTING.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT THAT YOU PUT THAT INTO YOUR APPLICATION.

ALSO LOVE THE SYMBOLISM OF THE TREE OF LIFE AND THE FACT THAT YOU GUYS ALL CHOSE THAT TO BE THE PIECE OF ART,

[02:00:03]

OF COURSE, WITH THE BLUEBELLS AND THE INTERACTIVE COMPONENT OF IT.

I THINK THAT'S GREAT. WHO PROGRAMS THE THE THE LIGHTING AND OR IS IT ON AUTOPILOT? AND IT JUST MOVES WHEN PEOPLE MOVE. SO THE LIGHTING TEAM IS LIKE, MEDIA WILL DO SET UP THE, THE WHOLE, YOU KNOW, PROGRAMING AND ALGORITHM FOR THE LIGHTS AND THE TIME OF DAY AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND THEN WE'LL HAND IT OVER TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE THEY CAN MAINTAIN IT AND HAVE AN ADMINISTRATOR KIND OF RUN OVER THAT.

BUT IT SHOULD WORK, YOU KNOW, FLUIDLY. DID YOU HEAR THAT? SHOULD WORK. YEAH, I'D BE SURPRISED IF IT DIDN'T.

BUT LIKE I SAID, I'VE WORKED WITH EOS LIKE MEDIA FOR MANY YEARS NOW, AND THEY THEY REALLY ARE SOME OF THE BEST LIGHTING ENGINEERS I KNOW.

SO. AND THEN ALSO, IS THERE A MAINTENANCE PROGRAM? I KNOW YOU YOU DID DESCRIBE THE HOW TO AND WHAT NOT TO DO FOR MAINTENANCE IN THE BACKUP.

IS THERE A PROGRAM THAT OR IS IT JUST THE HOSPITAL IS THE ONE THAT MAINTAINS THAT? ARE YOU REGARDING THE LIGHTS, THE ART, THE ACTUAL ART? YEAH. YOU KNOW, USUALLY WHAT I WOULD SAY IS AND, YOU KNOW, I'VE SAID THIS IN THE PAST FOR, SAY, THE PALM BEACH BLOOMS WHEN THEY DO THEIR ANNUAL CLEANING OF THE SITE.

YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, ADD THE TREE AND THE BLUEBELLS TO THAT.

OF COURSE, IF THERE'S, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUS ACCUMULATION.

BUT THE GREAT THING ABOUT YOU KNOW, 316 MARINE GRADE WITH THE SATIN FINISH.

IF YOU WENT TO THE PALM BEACH BLOOMS NOW, THEY'VE BEEN THERE FOR THREE YEARS. PALM BEACH GARDEN BLOOMS. NOW THE FINISH IS EXACTLY THE SAME.

YOU KNOW, EVERYONE TOUCHES IT, YOU KNOW, BUT IT STILL HAS THAT, YOU KNOW, REMARKABLE SHINE.

OKAY. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT. COULD WE PLEASE THEN HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 70 2025.

I WILL HAPPILY SECOND THAT MOTION. AND SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. MOTION CARRIES 4 TO 0. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU GUYS. NOW WE'RE MOVING ON. TO RESOLUTION 79.

WOULD THE CLERK PLEASE READ THE TITLE RESOLUTION 79 2025, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS,

[IX.e. RESOLUTION 79, 2025 – SUPPORT RESOLUTION STATE ROAD 7. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA, EXPRESSING ITS SUPPORT FOR THE IMMEDIATE CONSTRUCTION OF THE STATE ROAD 7 EXTENSION AND ITS SUPPORT OF THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT AND FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION IN THEIR EFFORTS TO EFFECTUATE SAME; FURTHER ENCOURAGING OTHER PALM BEACH COUNTY MUNICIPALITIES TO DO THE SAME; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.]

FLORIDA, EXPRESSING ITS SUPPORT FOR THE IMMEDIATE CONSTRUCTION OF THE STATE ROAD SEVEN EXTENSION AND ITS SUPPORT OF THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT AND FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION IN THEIR EFFORTS TO EFFECTUATE SUCH SAME, FURTHER ENCOURAGING OTHER PALM BEACH COUNTY MUNICIPALITIES TO DO THE SAME, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE FOR OTHER PURPOSES.

THANK YOU PATTI, AND I THINK RON WANTED TO READ SOMETHING INTO THE RECORD.

THANK THANK YOU. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH COUNCILMAN KEMP, AND HE HAS ASKED ME TO READ SOMETHING INTO THE RECORD FOR HIM BECAUSE HE IS UNABLE TO TO MAKE TONIGHT'S MEETING, AND HE FEELS RESPONSIBLE FOR ASKING FOR THIS AND FEELS BAD THAT HE'S NOT HERE TO SUPPORT IT. BUT I THINK YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHY.

IT SAYS, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL AND RESIDENTS.

I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE FOR MY ABSENCE TONIGHT.

UNFORTUNATELY, I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH AN UNEXPECTED MEDICAL ISSUE THAT HAS REQUIRED MULTIPLE DOCTOR VISITS AND A RECENT HOSPITAL ADMISSION EARLIER THIS WEEK. AS OF THIS EVENING, I MAY NEED TO BE READMITTED FOR POSSIBLE EMERGENCY SURGERY INTERVENTION.

THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS, I'VE REMAINED IN CONTACT WITH CITY MANAGER FERRIS TO DETERMINE THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE TONIGHT'S MEETING.

UP UNTIL THIS AFTERNOON, I WAS PLANNING ON TO ATTEND.

HOWEVER, DUE TO INCREASING PAIN AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF HOSPITALIZATION, IT IS DECIDED THAT FOR MY HEALTH AND RECOVERY, I SHOULD NOT ATTEND IN PERSON. THAT SAID, I WANT TO STRONGLY REAFFIRM MY FULL SUPPORT FOR RESOLUTION 79 2025. THIS INITIATIVE WAS ORIGINALLY BROUGHT FORWARD AT MY REQUEST AND IT REMAINS DEEPLY IMPORTANT TO ME.

STATE ROAD SEVEN EXTENSION IS CRITICAL TO OUR CITY'S FUTURE.

WE HAVE A GROWING POPULATION IN THE WESTERN PORTION OF PALM BEACH GARDENS THAT CONTINUES TO BE UNDERSERVED BY THE LACK OF PROPER INFRASTRUCTURE.

THIS SUMMER'S DETOURS, SOME LASTING OVER AN HOUR, HIGHLIGHTED EXACTLY HOW VULNERABLE OUR CURRENT ROAD NETWORK IS.
