Attorney Davis read the title into the record. The ordinance was heard at the previous Council meeting, but due to significant edits it was brought back for first reading. The edits included artificial turf special exceptions wording for mixed use and commercial districts, direction for concealment in the rear or side yards, and requirements of not exceeding 10% of the total landscape including putting greens. Council Member Sartory asked for clarification on how current homes with artificial turf would be handled. Attorney Davis explained existing turf may remain until required to be replaced. Code Enforcement would have to decide and observe those homes falling below the minimum property standard of like new condition. Citizen Comments: • Marie Sapirie, 79 Yacht Club Place, felt Council should reject the ordinance expressing fake grass was never legal in any amount, notating links to increased flood risks, and not Florida friendly citing a University of Florida article. Vice-Mayor Brandon was not in favor of artificial turf, but thought the ordinance helped specify criteria which wasn't addressed prior. Mayor Young agreed.

The address of the property is 381 Tequesta Drive, Tequesta FI 33469. Attorney Davis announced VAR 2-23 was a Quasi-Judicial matter and placed two individuals under oath. The following ex-parte communications were disclosed: • Council Member Sartory walked the site and spoke with two tenants. • Council Member Painter walked the site and spoke with tenants. • Vice-Mayor Brandon spoke with Casa Cana during their initial liquor license request. The item was postponed during the meeting as the applicant arrived late, it was resumed after item 19 was discussed. The variance was due to the proximity to a church and school. The owner of Local Pub Tequesta, Seamus O'Brien, was also owner of Casa Cana which was located next door. The establishments shared a courtyard and the State of Florida was allowing the liquor license to be used for both establishments. Mr. O'Brien provided Council with a brief presentation highlighting the seasonal clientele and future ideas for the new pub. He detailed why he was seeking the liquor license and goal to create a destination area. He did not intend for the area to become a party spot or late night location. They had a strict identification policy, had support form the local vendors and community, and provided assistance to anyone needing a ride home. He also noted there had not been any noise complaints and they did not have lunch hours planned. He also offered letters of approval from both Good Shepherd and First Baptist Churches. Council Comments: • Council Member Sartory was concerned with the hours, debris complaints, the entrance and exit, plans to knock walls down, and felt continuing with beer and wine was a better fit for the Village. He was concerned with the overall concept and did not feel it fit the Village. • Vice-Mayor Brandon confirmed the goal was to keep it a local destination and suggested matching the hours to Casa Cana. • Mayor Young stated the variance was due to the proximity to churches and schools. Attorney Davis confirmed the distance from those establishments created the need for a variance. Mayor Young felt there was no reason to not approve the variance or provide restrictions with that in mind. • Council Member Painter was also concerned with the proximity to the school. He did not want to see it become a party area or violate noise ordinances. Council had lengthy discussions on the noise and operating hours. Mr. O'Brien was amiable to altering the hours of operation to accommodate Council concerns. Council and Mr. O'Brien agreed to no liquor sales before 4 PM Monday thru Friday, Monday thru Thursday closing at 10 PM, Friday and Saturday closing at 12am, and open Sunday from noon until 10 PM. MOTION: Vice-Mayor Brandon made a motion to approve Variance 02-23 with the conditions of no liquor sales before 4 PM Monday thru Friday, Monday thru Thursday closing at 10 PM, Friday and Saturday closing at 12am, and open Sunday from noon until 10 PM; Council Member Painter seconded the motion.

Council Comments: • Council Member Sartory confirmed the building official declared the structure uninhabitable and was concerned with setbacks. • Council Member Painter found the 36 months time frame worrisome as other storms could impact the area in that length of time and further create issues. • Vice-Mayor Brandon questioned whether the Village could require structures not be on the road or parallel to the road. Attorney Davis would research, but thought that would encroach on preemption. • Mayor Young confirmed the Building Official was the authority on declaring the structure unsafe and not FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) or insurance companies. She also clarified if the temporary structure would need to meet hurricane codes by being tied down.
