The Tequesta Local Planning Agency held a regularly scheduled Workshop Meeting at the Village Hall, 357 Tequesta Drive, Tequesta, Florida on Wednesday, March 8, 1989. The meeting was called to order at 5:30 P.M. by Mayor Ron T. Mackail. Councilmembers present were: William E. Burckart, Joseph N. Capretta, and Mayor Ron T. Mackail. Village Officials present were: Thomas G. Bradford, Village Manager; Scott D. Ladd, Building Official; Carl R. Roderick, Police Chief; and Bill C. Kascavelis, Finance Director/Village Clerk. The Village Manager stated that the purpose of this evenings meeting was to review the goals, objectives, and policy statements of the "Land Use" and "Traffic" Elements of the Village Comprehensive Development Plan Draft. Mr. Bradford indicated that Councilmember Burckart was asked to review the Land Use Elements and report any recommended changes; and both Mayor, Ron T. Mackail and Councilmember William E. Burckart were to review the Traffic Element for any recommended changes. Councilmember Joseph N. Capretta stated that he reviewed Chapter 9J-5 of the Florida Administrative Code which establishes the minimum criteria required to be contained in each Local Government Comprehensive Plan, and compared the requirements of 9J-5 to the Village Comprehensive Plan. He stated his review confirmed that the Village Planning Consultant merely transferred the previous data contained in the Village Comprehensive Development Plan completed during the year 1986 and inserted the same data with slight modifications necessary to conform with the minimum requirements of 9J-5. He further noted that specific data that was inserted into the Comprehensive Development Plan from the previous Plan should be checked for accuracy. He also noted that any unique items and specific goals and objectives which should be reported utilizing measurable criteria were omitted from the Comprehensive Development Plan. Local Planning Agency Workshop Meeting Minutes (Village Council) March 8, 1989 Page 2 - Member Capretta stated that during the review process of the Village Comprehensive Development Plan, the following questions should be asked: 1. Does the Plan meet the requirements of 9J-5? 2. Is the data accurate? 3. Are there any specific goals and objectives to be contained in the Plan? The Comprehensive Development Plan prepared by the Village Planning Consultant would apply to any municipality in Florida since it does not contain any specific goals, objectives, or policy statements of the Village of Tequesta. Member Capretta also stated that he was not impressed with the quality of the Comprehensive Development Plan prepared by the Village Planning Consultant, Mr. Gene Caputo. Considering his observations, Member Capretta concluded that the Village Administration should be responsible for reviewing the Compliance aspects of the Plan. The Village Department Heads should be responsible for the verification of the data presented within the plan associated to their respective departments, and Council (Local Planning Agency) should establish any specific goals, objectives, and policy statements that they desire to commit the Village to undertaking. Member Capretta asked, "Do we want to be more specific?" Village Manager Bradford replied that specificity requires a commitment of funding sources to be detailed in the Comprehensive Improvement Element of the Plan. Member Capretta stated that the Comprehensive Development Plan, as drafted, only meets the minimum requirements of 9J-5. He indicated the next process should consist of updating the data contained in the Plan and the Local Planning Agency should make a determination of its desire to be more specific in determining the goals, objectives, and policy statements contained in the Comprehensive Development Plan. The other Councilmembers present concurred with Mr. Capretta's observations and his recommendation. Former Councilmember/Mayor Carlton D. Stoddard, addressed Council and stated that the Comprehensive Development Plan must be coordinated with the local ordinances and policies of the Village. l Local Planning Agency Workshop Meeting Minutes (Village \Council ) March 8, 1989 Page 3 - He indicated the Village must maintain an updated and quality Comprehensive Plan to insure that the County Planning Authority does not usurp the authority of the Village concerning the Village goals and objectives. Mayor Mackail replied that the Village should consider the need of seeking the assistance of a professional Planning and Zoning Specialist to provide the services referred to by former Mayor Stoddard. II. FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT REVIEW The Village Manager reviewed the provisions of 9J-5.006 of the Department of Community Affairs Division of Resource Planning and Management, Florida Administrative Code requirements pertaining to "Future Land Use Element" contained on pages 23 through page 28 of Chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code. Member Burckart stated that his review of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Development Plan did not disclose any significant problems with the elements as presented except for clerical and grammatical corrections which should be made. However, he did suggest that Council should give additional consideration to increasing the density levels associated with undeveloped land located in the eastern section of the Village, since the infrastructure necessary to service such areas is already in place. Former Mayor Stoddard supported Burckart's proposal and cited development of Member an adult congregate living facility or multi-residential housing within or near the C-2 commercial zoned districts would be beneficial to the character of the Village. Council and Staff reviewed and discussed in detail the Land Use Elements contained in the Comprehensive Development Plan Draft. During the discussion recommended changes were proposed for the following elements: 1.2.0, 1.3.4, 1.3.5, 1.3.6, 1.3.8, 1.3.10, and 1.6.8. (The proposed revisions are contained in the attachment to these Minutes. ) Also, Member Burckart provided the Village Staff with a copy of the Land Use Element detailing his proposed revisions to the document. Member Burckart also indicated the maps incorporated within the document are inaccurate and are not legible and should be replaced with accurate Land Use maps.

TRAFFIC ELEMENT During the review and discussion of the Traffic Elements of the Village Comprehensive Development Plan, Councilmember Burckart raised the issue of properly designating Village roadways. During a lengthy discussion, it was concluded that roads within the Village should be properly classified to meet the proposed traffic flows desired. Revisions to the existing Traffic Circulation Analysis contained on page 307 of the Plan were also recommended along with changes addressing the new road located adjacent to County Line Plaza, Old Dixie Highway, and the proposed Martin County Connector Road. (These recommendations are also contained as an enclosure to these Minutes. ) The Village Manager indicated he would review all of the changes noted during the Workshop Meeting for incorporation into the Village Comprehensive Development Plan. Council also discussed the need to hire an In-House Professional Planner, and upon completion of the discussion, the Village Manager stated that he would provide Council with his recommendations. There being no other issues to be discussed concerning the Elements on this agenda, the meeting was adjourned at 7:30 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Bill C.
