DATE: January 20, 2002
RE: Re -Zoning (Referred to as the Glendinning Property)
The Spear Group, through their agent Gentile, Holloway, O'Mahoney and Associates, Inc., are
requesting a R-1 Single Family Dwelling District zoning on a 0-34 acre parcel of land
generally described as lying north of Riverside Drive; and lying west and adjacent to a 15.23
acre parcel that was recently annexed into the Village and which will be part of an overall
proposed development project, if approved. The R-1 zoning request is consistent with the
Residential Low Density land use designation requested for this property. The R- I zoning is
consistent with its adjacent properties situated in the Village which are also zoned R-1 Single
Family Dwelling District, and with its adjacent properties that lie in the unincorporated County
that are currently zoned RS Single Family. This re -zoning will require a change to the Village
Zoning Map to reflect the new municipal boundaries and zoning designation for this parcel.
It is recommended that the Village Council approved this proposed re -zoning application.

Re: Proclamation and Pledge of Civility in the Month of May
Dear Mayor Genco:
Please join with other cities and counties in the State of Florida to proclaim
May as Civility Month. Like last year, we have expanded our program to
include Florida's district school boards.
We hope that the pledge of civility will uplift the tone and conduct in your
meetings. Civility uplifts our common life, and invites citizens to
participate in their government. The art of civility requires constant
application everyday.
The attorneys of the City, County and Local Government Law Section of
The Florida Bar ask you to renew the pledge of public conduct. A sample
proclamation is enclosed for your use. We urge all citizens to exercise
civility toward each other throughout the year.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
Sincerely,
Susan H. Churuti

Whereas, the open exchange of public disclosure is essential to the
democratic system of government and
Whereas, as a cornerstone of democracy Americans have observed
certain rules of behavior generally known as civility;
Whereas, civility, derived from the Latin words "civitas" meaning city
and "civis" meaning citizen, is behavior worthy of citizens living in a
community or in common with others; and
Whereas, displays of anger, rudeness, ridicule, impatience, and a lack
of respect and personal attacks detract from the open exchange of ideas,
prevent fair discussion of the issues, and can discourage individuals from
participation in government; and
Whereas, civility can assist in reaching consensus on diverse issues and
allow for mutually respectful ongoing relationships; and
Whereas, civility can uplift our daily life and make it more pleasant to
live in an organized society; and
Whereas, the city, County and Local Government Law Section of The
Florida Bar urges the adoption of a pledge of civility by all citizens in the State
of Florida.
Now, therefore, be it resolved, by the Village Council of the Village of
Tequesta that the month of May is proclaimed as Civility Month, and calls
upon all citizens to exercise civility toward each other.
Passed and adopted the eleventh day of April, 2002.

Councilmember Genco gave her thanks, and stated she was very proud of

election was an indication that everyone had a lot of faith in what she has
done in the last years, and will do her best to continue the same.
B. Seat 3--Joseph N. Capretta
Councilmember Capretta thanked the audience for the opportunity to
serve. He still enjoys it and likes representing the people, and likes the
idea of being able to talk to them and understand what makes Tequesta a
better place to live, and then trying to achieve that objective. We have
achieved a lot the last 14 years he has been serving on the Council: water
plant, post office, new public safety building, new city hall.
C. Seat 5—Edward D. Resnik
Councilmember Resnik stated he was pleased and privileged to serve the
Village and its residents as a member of the Council. He declared his
candidacy early so he could learn the requirements of running. I had a
campaign pledge he was going to publish, but still will adhere to while in
office: to be fair, to be honest, to be always faithful representing you, and
I am dedicated to preserving and improving the quality of life, the
security, the beauty and the residential nature of our Village, and to assure
Tequesta remains a great place to live. I look forward to a challenging and
rewarding experience, working with the Mayor, fellow Councilmembers,
and the Village Manager, to represent your interest while participating in
deliberations like this, and decisions that are fiscally responsible,
productive, progressive, and will keep Tequesta a great place.

should be able to set trusses.
Yacht Club Point, 1 Yacht Club (Tract D), Tequesta, Florida —Jim
Burg applicant. —Community Development Director Jeffrey C. Newell
1. Replat of Yacht Club Point.
1. Swearing in of witnesses
Village Clerk Wolcott swore the witnesses in en mass.
2. Disclosure of ex parte communications
Councilmember Resnik stated he had been by the property and
also talked to Brian O'Brien.
Councilmember Dalack stated he, on Tuesday night, had listened
to comments of the public and representatives of the landowners,
plus he spoke to Brian O'Brien and Mr. Aumack and had their
input, and went over some of the drawings.
Councilmember von Frank mentioned that he was here on
Tuesday and had to recuse himself because of advice of counsel.
2
nl Mayor Genco stated she had exparte communication with Mr.
Burg, Mr. O'Brien and the attorney. Essentially everything was in
the sense of fact finding.
Councilmember von Frank stated he spoke to Mr. O'Brien and
Mr. Ryan.
Village Attorney Randolph remarked they should not have any
preconceived notions, and they must make their decision based
upon the testimony you hear at this hearing this evening.
3. Testimony of witnesses and cross-examination, if any
a. Testimony by applicant
Attorney Joseph Grosso of Madden and Grosso stated this
application has been discussed for a couple of months, and
this is a proposal to replat. The first thing is the
application, and given the nature of this type of application,
he is entitled to the approval. If he meets the code he is
entitled to the approval notwithstanding personal
preferences. He meets the requirements.
b. Staff comments
Community Development Director Newell mentioned
this parcel was originally divided into three lots through
subdivision regulations, and the roadway was granted a
variance to remain at a 20 foot right-of-way. In its current
state, a four lot subdivision would allow a four lot
configuration, and meets the minimum zoning
requirements, only if the roadway remains in that state.
Should a widening of the roadway occur and/or a cul-de-
sac is required, then the replat would not meet the minimal
requirements.
C. Village Council comments
Councilmember Resnik asked what decision was made in
August.
Village Attorney Randolph stated it was a first step in a
process, and not binding.
Mayor Genco remarked under Article IV Section 2 in the
subdivision rules, this should conform to a plan by the
neighborhood. There were safety factors that were noted, I
think a cul de sac. The sidewalk issue has now changed. Is
there anything else we have similar to this in the Village?
Community Development Director Newell stated this
particular arrangement is the only arrangement in Rl-A.
Mayor Genco asked going through the RI -A District, what
is the conformity? If I were to drive around Golfview, are
all the houses 20 feet apart?
Community Development Director Newell stated in the
older residences you are bound to have some
nonconformity. Some are greater than 10 to the side, some
are less than 10.
Vice Mayor Capretta stated he would like to pursue the
statement made by Mr. Grosso when he said that
fundamentally if his client meets the code, the Village is
obligated to approve it. Does this meet the codes?
Community Development Director Newell responded if
the Council chooses to approve the roadway as it is, then it
�F meets the codes.
Vice Mayor Capretta stated the road only services the
three lots we approved, and doesn't serve the fourth lot. As
you look at lot four, there is the possibility that it could be
served at that roadway.
Community Development Director Newell stated there is
enough frontage on the fourth lot to be serviced by that
roadway.
Councilmember Dalack requested to pursue Mr.
Capretta's question about entitlement.
Village Attorney Randolph stated if he meets all the
criteria of your code, he is entitled to a subdivision. You
need to make a determination whether or not the applicant
meets the criteria of the subdivision code. Any question
you might have with regard to the size of the building is not
really dependent on this.
0
Mayor Genco questioned that based on the plan, if the
Council approves, the Council is willing to allow the
variances.
Villaize Attorney Randolph stated yes if there are
variances needed.
Councilmember Dalack stated the road is really a
driveway, apparently it is going to be widened. The
adequacy of that would seem to fall into this. A 20 ft wide
road.
Mayor Genco questioned if they want to give the variances
the previous replat enjoyed.
Village Attorney Randolph stated in order to approve this
they have to find a variance from the cul de sac provision.
d. Comments by the public
Steve Gordon, Yacht Club Place stated he was neither for
nor against this, but he is interested. He is concerned that
the Council -Developer relationship is not looking at the
Council -New Resident relationship. He is bringing new
residents into the neighborhood.
Donna Meyers, 23 River Drive, read a letter into the record
(attached).
Brian O'Brien, 15 Yacht Club Place, stated they are
concerned with the safety of the neighborhood. This has
been confusing, multiple applications have been submitted,
and we are at the preliminary hearing point. People are
being quoted in the paper as stating it meets the codes —it
requires a huge variance in the road, it needs to be designed
to promote the public safety, health and welfare. The
matter goes past three minutes. A 20 ft right of way was
not considered. My kids are out there in the street playing.
Julie O'Brien, 15 Yacht Club Place, quoted an article about
safety issues with people and trucks backing up. She was
concerned about her children playing in the street, and the
service trucks and more traffic going in and out of the
development.

N14 Ellen Aumack, 15 Yacht Club Place, wanted to see
where the new house was being built on the property, and
was it on a lot with a four lot plan, or one of the three lots
originally approved.
Robert Aumack, 15 Yacht Club Place, addressed the issue
of the code minimum requirement if 12,000 square feet,
and asked if the cul de sac was put in would it meet the
minimum requirement with four lots.
Lonnie Martosha, 252 Golfview Drive, asked the Council
to consider going back to three lots. He asked them to
conform it to a proper situation with a cul de sac, or cancel
it and go back to the original plat.
Jim Ryan, 20 Yacht Club Place, asked the Council to
consider that the house is the scheme of the neighborhood.
A house on the road has over 30,000 sq. ft. and he has
approximately 21,000 sq. ft. of lot coverage, Mr. O'Brien
has close to 21,000 sq. ft, and someone else has 23,000 sq.
feet. The lots on the water side are what I bought into this
neighborhood for.
Tom Tardonia, 4 Hickory Hill Road, was concerned that
the issues being brought up were only opinion, especially
the safety issues. The safety concern is not as bad as they
are talking about. This is not about code, but about public
opinion on how the decision is made. This gentleman is
doing all he possibly can to accommodate the code.
Mayor Genco questioned the construction on the lot.
Village Attorney Randolph stated there was a request for
a lot split and the Village denied the request. An
application was made for a building permit to build a home
which met the requirements of the code, and they chose to
site it to leave a big side yard, suggesting an opportunity to
come before you to get it split into a subdivision. There
was enough room left to build another house if the Council
decides to divide it.
Mayor Genco stated someone brought up some type of
notice of violations.
Community Development Director Newell stated Mr.
Burg proceeded with the building pad, and his crew put in
8
footer trenches. They started installing the form boards
without a permit, but we addressed that issue, brought it to
a halt, and Mr. Burg complied and got the proper
permitting.
Mayor Genco asked about the issue of the trucks as far as
trash pickup.
Community Development Director Newell stated a letter
was submitted from Nichols Sanitation, and they expressed
an opinion that it would not be a problem for them. If the
trash containers are being brought to the cul de sac, they
can move in the radius of the cul de sac and backing up
wouldn't be required.
Mayor Genco stated if the people put the trash in front of
their houses, I'm sure they'll be backing out. Mayor Genco
stated according to the code the minimum lot size width is
100 ft, and I see the back isn't 100 ft.
Community Development Director Newell stated the
code only addresses the front, not the back.
e. Final comments by applicant
Attorney Grosso stated there have been complaints brought
up to me. There was supposed to be a workshop, and we
heard public comments. Some folks chose not to make
comments because it is my understanding they feared we
would have time to consider those and address those
comments now. There is a lot of talk about safety issues
and clearly the developer does not want to create an unsafe
situation, but no real talk about specific safety problems
except for what is in the backing up. I contend, just
because there is a cul de sac doesn't mean that trucks
delivering, people visiting friends, are going to leave
someone's house and decide to drive to the end of the cul
de sac and turn around. The same turn around that takes
place all around that road is going to take place in here.
Comments about the character of the neighborhood —where
do we choose to decide what properties we are going to
look at to determine the character of the neighborhood.
This proposed subdivision meets the minimum
requirements of your code in our opinion. There is
allegations of changes in surveys, clearly that is meant to
impress the Council there is something shaky going on. I
OJ
don't think it is accurate that people got restraining orders.
We believe this meets the code, the road has been
approved, it has been dedicated. All we are doing is
changing the configuration of the lots on the road. If there
are safety concerns we'll provide access to the fourth lot as
on the cul de sac. We would ask that this be approved.
4. Executive Session
a. Discussion
Councilmember Resnik stated he has some objectives to
bring out. I have listened to everybody, I have walked out
on the road. I don't know why the past Council didn't
provide some means of turnaround. I know the code says
100 ft radius, 50 ft diameter, but it also indicates the
Council can adjust their decisions to best suit the particular
neighborhood. I was told that if any adjustment is made to
the road, then it digs into the builder's property. Some kind
of turnaround should be at the end of that street. I believe
most auto traffic coming out of the homes will come out
driving out of their driveways not backing down the street.
In fact UPS people driving in will pull into driveways and
not back out. The garbage people should be directed to
back in and drive out. There should be some basis for a
turnaround down there that the builder can accommodate.
It would be beneficial to the safety aspect of this thing. As
far as legal, if the code is met for the property, it is my
understanding that you can have that approve, but if the
roundabout at the end takes away from your property, then
you won't meet the code, so it has to be part of your
property in order to maintain the lot size.
Village Attorney Randolph stated he would not have
buildable lots if they were to put the cul de sac in. They
could not use their own property for the cul de sac because
we require that be dedicated to the public. They would not
be able to modify this subdivision so as to modify the
subdivision.
Councilmember Resnik stated the decision was not to do
anything regarding the road previously.
Jim Bury stated in Tequesta Oaks there is a similar
situation, a dead end street, and it has a turnaround 10 ft
wide by 15 ft long. I could provide that for you. This
10
dock has to be relocated and the dock will no longer be
there. Mr. Burg pointed out the location where he could
place the turnaround and a barrier to prevent going into the
water. Councilmember Von Frank asked if that was a cul-
de-sac, to which Village Attorney Randolph responded no,
that Mr. Burg was offering that in lieu of a cul-de-sac.
Mayor Genco stated it was literally a front end in and then
you back out.
Councilmember Dalack commented he did not understand
and it was not within the Country Club Community and
was not consistent with the rest of the neighborhood.
Vice Mayor Capretta commented he understood these lots
were the most controversial there had ever been in the
Village; that he had been through many of them and he
always checked to see if they complied with the code. Vice
Mayor Capretta commented that when the Council met at
other times to discuss setting up the codes and ordinances
as to how they wanted homes built, that was the time to
change them, and they could not be changed retroactively.
Vice Mayor Capretta stated he went over this project with
staff and Mr. Newell step by step, and knowing that the
Council had previously approved the three plots —as long
as the Council approved that road the way it is and as long
as they said lot 4 which was the one nearest the cul-de-sac
was to be open on that side the road would only be used for
three. Some people liked to call it a driveway, but it
happened to be a driveway six inches wider than Yacht
Club Place, and it had been widened by the Village to 20'
to make it the same as Yacht Club Place. Vice Mayor
Capretta stated therefore he always went by the code; he
had helped develop the code; he had been on the Council
for years and it had been changed many times. The Vice
Mayor commented that people used lot line homes and
these lots were 12,000 — 14,000 foot lots —much bigger
than most homes in the Country Club community. Bigger
than half of them, and these would not be cheap million
dollar homes —they would be expensive. This would
upgrade property values in the neighborhood, and anyone
wanting to buy one of these homes would need more than a
million dollars to buy one. Vice Mayor Capretta
commented one gentleman who spoke had experience in
this area, and if you went along River Drive and looked at
what was happening, on every large lot people were buying
11
the homes, tearing them down, and building two homes
F because the lots were so large--20,000 to 40,000 feet —so
they could be split and still be larger than any lot in the
neighborhood. Vice Mayor Capretta commented that what
should be looked at was the percentage of the lot that the
house took and the amount of open space. Vice Mayor
Capretta advised that the Village's code was very specific
regarding this and it said the maximum lot coverage the
house could have was 37% in R-1-A and the minimum lot
open area had to be at least 30%. Vice Mayor Capretta
stated these did not even come close to that and when
somebody bought a lot to build a house he had to protect
property values and make sure the neighborhood was
maintained the way it was, and when somebody wanted to
build 4 houses in the Perry Como estate that we going to be
a million to 2-1/2 million dollars in value, they would be
beautiful mansions. In letters he had received someone was
worried about monster mansions and that they were too
expensive, and the owner should build cheaper homes.
Vice Mayor Capretta commented you could not have it
both ways, and as he saw it he could not oppose building 4
million dollar plus homes on 12,000-15,000 square feet
with a road just as wide as Yacht Club Place it because it
met the code . Vice Mayor Capretta commented in his
opinion the only question ever was the road, but since it
was already approved long ago for the three lots he saw no
reason to change it, particularly since he thought the fourth
lot would face the cul-de-sac and would not even use the
road.
Councilmember Von Frank stated his background was
insurance, that he had to go back to Mr. Schwartz's letter of
March 6, and had to go with public safety and dead end
streets —he was always worried that it could create a
serious problem regarding life and property loss.
Councilmember Dalack commented he had been
impressed with Mrs. O'Brien and her presentation and
citation of a publication dealing with automobile impact,
and that had been very significant to him. Councilmember
Dalack commented he believed the only means of dealing
with that would be what Councilmember Von Frank
referred to in the letter of 3/6/02 from Kimley-Horn, and
that situation could not be alleviated, as the Village
Attorney had stated. Councilmember Dalack commented
the place was not physically capable of having a cul-de-sac.
12
So this Council would have to waive the requirement for a
cul-de-sac in order to obviate the problems created by the
absence of a cul-de-sac. Councilmember Dalack stated it
could not be alleviated —the safety hazard was there, and
he would not feel comfortable in waiving that requirement.
Councilmember Dalack commented on the conformity of
this project to the rest of the neighborhood.
Councilmember Dalack stated he could not disagree more
with Vice Mayor Capretta, and in his view the monster
mansions would diminish the property values of the
surrounding properties; that Yacht Club Place which he
rode his tricycle every day was not 20' wide and he
believed it to be 60' like all the other streets he saw in the
neighborhood, and therefore the driveway did not conform
with the rest of Yacht Club Place, but that was just the
beginning. From Jim Ryan's house down to the existing
cul-de-sac at the beginning of the Perry Como property
there were Mr. Ryan's house and then three more houses
which was 400' of homes on Yacht Club Place facing the
water, and the developer wanted to put in four homes and if
anybody went down Yacht Club Place and saw the
expansive area between the homes and then went inside the
old Perry Como house, those things were jammed together.
Councilmember Dalack commented to him this proposal
was absolutely inconsistent with the plan of the rest of the
neighborhood, and that was another reason he thought this
proposition should not be waived. Councilmember Dalack
stated first, safety, then the non -conformity of this
development with the rest of the neighborhood.
Mayor Genco commented when the plan originally came
before the Council she had looked at what was presented —
the three lots —and she thought it was a superb plan. She
looked at the roadway, amount of green space, amount of
impervious space, and whether or not it was part of the
record she did think about the turnaround and the cul-de-
sac, and based on the existing proposed green space versus
building she had been comfortable with granting a variance
without having a cul-de-sac. The Mayor stated that had
this plan been presented to her at that time, she would have
changed her mind. Mayor Genco stated she would not
have been in favor of this 4-lot subdivision the way it was
being presented for the reason that it did not have a cul-de-
sac, that she had now learned about the safety issues about
which she was somewhat concerned with the trash pickup,
and she found that the Council had to look at the spirit of
13
the code and consider what people would like to see
besides just appreciating real estate values. Mayor Genco
stated she found that the four -subdivision plat before the
Council did not meet the spirit of the code. The Mayor
stated she was looking at this as if it were coming before
her for the first time and would not approve this and was
looking for a motion based on findings of fact.
A 5-minute break was declared and the Council was
advised they could speak to no one during the break. The
Council reconvened at 10:00 p.m.
Attorney Grosso asked for additional consideration for Mr.
Burg's proposal regarding the turnaround to possibly work
out something that would alleviate the safety and insurance
concerns, and to that extent requested the Village Council
table a decision to allow the applicant time to explore and
present that proposal. Village Attorney Randolph advised
that it was the prerogative of the Village Council if they
wished to allow the applicant an opportunity to redraw the
plan to attempt to alleviate their concerns. Councilmember
Von Frank asked, when you turn around, what was on the
other side of that line. Mr. Burg indicated a guard rail
would be added along the water. Village Attorney
Randolph commented it was his understanding the
applicant could not re -draw the plan to provide a cul-de-sac
as provided in the code. The applicant responded no, that
he could not provide a 80' or 100' round cul-de-sac, but
under the definition of cul-de-sac was also turn -around,
which had been allowed other places in the Village, serving
more houses.
Councilmember Dalack commented Attorney Randolph's
question led to a further question, if there was a definition
of cul-de-sac in the code and read aloud the definition:
Cul-de-sacs permanently designed shall not exceed 400' in
length and be provided at closed -end. Cul-de-sac with a
turn around having an outside roadway diameter of at least
80' and a property line diameter of at least 100'.
Councilmember Dalack asked if the applicant could supply
that; applicant responded, no. Councilmember Dalack
stated there would be no point to tabling this because the
applicant could not comply with the cul-de-sac provision.
The applicant commented he might be able to comply.
Mayor Genco stated it was understood the applicant could
not provide a cul-de-sac and that answered the question.
14
b. Finding of fact based on competent, substantial
evidence, and motion to approve/decry.
MOTION: Vice Mayor Capretta made a motion to allow the
applicant a reasonable period of time to come back with a
proposal to provide a turn around to alleviate the safety conditions
that some of the people were concerned about.
Vice Mayor Capretta stated like Councilmember Von
Frank and several people in the audience who made
persuasive presentations about safety, which he assumed
the applicant could do before the next meeting and the
applicant responded affirmatively.
Councilmember Resnik seconded the motion.
During discussion, Mayor Genco asked if this did come
back and did get tabled as a result of this motion, if the
whole process would start over from the beginning.
Attorney Randolph advised it would continue to be a
quasi-judicial hearing and the public would have an
opportunity to speak in regard to the modifications.
Mayor Genco asked if then the entire process that had
been gone through tonight would be done again, to which
Attorney Randolph responded, yes, the opportunity had to
be provided; however, the likelihood of going through all
the same comments again was not expected, however, the
opportunity had to be given.
Councilmember Dalack stated he believed a delay would
be pointless because the developer had just said he could
not comply with the definition of cul-de-sac; therefore, it
was undisputed that the proposed project did not comply
with Section 310 of the code. Councilmember Dalack
stated the compliance was not for a turnaround, it was for a
cul-de-sac, so it was pointless to delay.
Vice Mayor Capretta commented it was not pointless, that
the Council could approve it if they liked the turn around.
15
Councilmember Resnik reiterated that the Council had the
authority to adjust the end of that road to meet the unique
requirements of that particular situation if they did not put
in a full cul-de-sac.
Mayor Genco agreed that the Council had that discretion.
Vice Mayor Capretta —for
Councilmember Resnik —for
Councilmember Von Frank — against
Councilmember Dalack — against
Mayor Genco -- against
Motion failed.
MOTION: Councilmember Dalack made a motion to deny the
request based on the following findings of fact: No. I it is
undisputed that the proposal violates the provision of Section 310
that dead end streets are prohibited. It also violates Section 3.1 of
article 4, and he thought the letter of 3'6/02 page 78(g) supports
that proposition, and further he would find that the proposed use
was not consistent with the rest of the neighborhood.
Councilmember Von Frank seconded the motion.
During discussion, Councilmember Resnik stated it was
his understanding if the Village Council denied the motion
the plat would revert back to the 3-lot decision with a dead-
end road, so there was no safety added into this —all that
would do would be to delete a house --and that decision was
irrevocable, and if the issue was a dead-end street, that was
what it would be.
Councilmember Dalack accepted that and he was glad
Councilmember Resnik had said this and he would move to
reconsider the earlier motion that there may be a means
of alleviating the safety factor if the developer was given a
chance to submit a proposal. Councilmember Dalack
moved to reconsider the vote on the motion to table.
Vice Mayor Capretta commented he thought that was a
good proposition, and stated he had been shocked at
Councilmember Von Frank's vote since he had brought up
all the insurance actuary and then when the man offered
him a chance to eliminate the safety problems and the
turnaround problem, he voted against it; therefore, Mayor
16
Capretta had come to the conclusion that Councilmember
Von Frank was not serious or was being facetious.
Attorney Randolph advised on a motion to reconsider it
was made by someone on the prevailing side and anyone
could second the motion.
Motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Capretta.
Attorney Randolph commented that the Village Manager
had indicated to him that Councilmember Dalack had made
a motion to deny that was seconded that had not been
withdrawn.
Councilmember Dalack stated he withdrew his motion to
deny and now made a motion to reconsider the tabling,
which was seconded by Vice Mayor Capretta.
Mayor Genco stated there was now a motion to reconsider
the developer coming back to the Council with another
proposition which it was believed would entail a
turnaround. Mayor Genco stated she would repeat herself
that she felt this was tantamount to blackmail, because had
this development of four homes come before her when she
voted on it originally she would not have approved it
without a cul-de-sac. The subdivision code required a cul-
de-sac, and the Council was now having to settle for
something that was less than the subdivision code required.
Mayor Genco stated she knew sometimes they had to
compromise and now they were being forced into a
situation of compromise because the developer did not take
the time to really think through what he wanted to do with
his property and all of a sudden in her opinion saw an
opportunity of greater gain and chose to disregard the
Village's codes and requirements. We now have to look at
a compromise.
Village Attorney Randolph stated he is making a motion
to reconsider to defer, after that is voted on, if the motion to
reconsider passes, then there can be a motion to defer.
Motion to reconsider:
Motion carried 4-1 with Councilmember von Frank dissenting.
MOTION: Vice Mayor Capretta moved to table this vote until the
next Council meeting to allow Mr. Burg to come back with his
17
proposal for a turnaround to avoid the safety problem. Seconded
by Councilmember Resnik.

XV. ANY OTHER MATTERS
Mayor Genco stated that in the Village Manager's Report there was a package on
annexation, and she would like that on the next agenda. Also there are two
meetings scheduled for Saturday, One on Traffic and on the Zucarelli matter, and
I would like to postpone until further notice.
Village Attorney Randoloh stated you can postpone it to a time certain.
MOTION: Councilmember Dalack motioned to postpone the closed door session until
March 21, 2002 at S: 00 p.m. to be held at the Village Offices at 250 Tequesta Drive.
Mayor Genco stated all Councilmembers will be present, Mr. Randolph, Mr.
Couzzo, and a Court Reporter.
Seconded by Councilmember von Frank. Motion carried 5-0.
MOTION: Councilmember von Frank moved to cancel the Traffic Workshop, seconded
by Councilmember Resnik; motion carried 5-0.
Mayor Genco requested the Council pass a U.S. Baseball Association Resolution
that was sent to them during the week.
Consensus agreed
Councilmember von Frank requested to hear information on the Siegel matter.
Councilmember Resnik stated that an item under New Business, item E, there
would be no requirement for any money out of this year's budget. The
requirement to put four thousand dollars in the bottom line price, based on
providing an advanced payment was not proposed in the basic memo from staff.
The proposed payment plan goes into the FY 02/03 Budget, the contract provides
a basis for getting a fairly good deal on a fire truck, the opportunity to piggyback
on a multi -engine sale will probably be lost, and we'll be faced with another year,
and I don't think it is in the best interest to cancel —we should consider that.

Village Attornev Randolph staTed before discussing that item you should have a
motion to reconsider.
MOTION: Councilmember Resnik moved reconsider Resolution No. 33-01 /02,
seconded by Vice Mayor Capretta; motion carried 5-0.
E. Resolution No. 33-01/02—A Resolution of the Village Council of the
Village of Tequesta, Palm Beach County, Florida, approving the purchase
of one (1) Sutphen Custom Rescue Pumper, in the amount of $305,860.20,
from Sutphen Corporation of Amlin, Ohio, and the purchase of equipment
necessary to place the pumper in service at a cost of $93,000. The pumper
will be financed with a ten (10) year lease, with the first year's payment
being made in the FY 02/03 budget year, upon recommendation of the
Finance Department after approval by the Village Council, and
authorizing the Village Manager to execute the applicable contracts on
behalf of the Village. Fire Chief James Weinand
Mayor Genco stated the second letter does require a down payment.
Councilmember Resnik replied the contract doesn't say that, it is just
letting us know that you can save four thousand dollars. They would
determine the best objective in next year's budget.
Fire Chief Weinand stated you can put this off until the budget process.
It was brought forward because of the price and because it was the
direction of the Council in 1994.
Vice Mayor Capretta stated it is saving us about $20,000.
Fire Chief Weinand stated Finance said it was not worth it to put the
money down now, but wait.
