Member Hackett disclosed that he spoke to Mr. Lilly and completed a site visit. Member Schauer disclosed that she asked Mr. Lilly for clarification. Village Attorney Brandenburg reiterated the rules of decorum, which limits public comment to three minutes and all comments should be directed at the Board Chair rather than an individual Board member. George Gentile presented a brief PowerPoint on the proposed development. He discussed the site plan, aesthetics, and mentioned that the application is in compliance with the Village code. Director Zacarias explained that the application was reviewed by the Development Review Committee (DRC), and meets the Village Code requirements. She continued that the staff report includes a condition of approval, which requires the applicant to provide the Village with a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) issued by FEMA prior to applying for a building permit. Mr. Gentile stated that his client will provide the LOMR letter prior to applying for the building permit. Vice -Chair Eagen asked where construction workers would park while working on the subject project. Mr. Gentile stated that the developer will continue to utilize their agreement with Palm Beach County that allows workers to park in the Coral Cove South Addition. Vice -Chair Eagen questioned whether the parking agreement with the County ended after the completion of the Sea Glass building. Mr. Gentile stated that he would obtain an answer and provide it to the Village Council. Member Schauer asked why a TEMA CHAMP" analysis was provided during this site plan process and not during Sea Glass. Director Zacarias stated that she requested this documentation since the applicant did not possess a LOMR letter, while Sea Glass already had a LOMR letter prior to its site plan review. Member Schauer asked why the applicant is proposing three swimming pools. Mr. Gentile stated that such amenities are expected with that kind of development. Member Schauer questioned the material of the seawall since it appeared to be glass. Michael Wallace, Architect from Swedroe and Associates, stated that the existing seawall would require some repairs and that they would include a glass guardrail. John Griffis, Tequesta resident, mentioned that he sent a memorandum to the Village prior to the meeting. Director Zacarias included his memorandum in the record. Mr. Brandenburg stated that Village Staff would review the memorandum and provide written responses to his questions at a later time. Mr. Griffis voiced his concerns that the new development would interrupt his current view corridors from his property across the street. He also mentioned his concern about the drainage of the site because of the variance that was withdrawn. Kathy Megrath commented on the size of the proposed building and voiced concerns regarding where the construction workers would park during the development process. Member Schauer requested clarification for statements made in the 300 Beach Road PBC Meeting Notes dated January 10, 2022, and asked why the applicant withdraw their variance application. Director Zacarias explained that the applicant withdrew the variance application because the new proposed exfiltration trench systems will allow the site to be in compliance with the Village code.
