Member Thomas G. Bradford.
Council Member Painter attended via Zoom.
AGENDA ITEMS
1. Discussion of an Ordinance Amending the City Code of Ordinances Section 74-82
to Allow a Lien on Property for Unpaid Service Charges Through a Magistrate
Rather than Council
Utility Director Craig asked Council for permission to have a Special Magistrate to be
used for judgements on unpaid utility service charges, instead of going through Council.
Last year the Utility Department wrote off approximately $19,000 dollars in service
charges/unpaid bills. The year prior $9,000 was written off. Unpaid accounts were
currently sent to collections after 6 months, with renters being the majority of
delinquencies. Utility Director Craig was asking for a mechanism to assist in this process.
Council Member Sartory inquired as to why the collection efforts were not implemented
until the 6 month mark. He was agreeable to the Special Magistrate process.
Council Member Bradford asked about the property owner being responsible for the
account. Attorney Davis was not sure a service charge could be assessed against an
account outside of the Village. Additionally, he was unclear on why it would take 2-3
Pag@c-%b f 0-09
Agenda Item #5. 01 Draft
years to write off a delinquent account.
Manager Allen assured Council the process would come back for further discussion with
date certain parameters.
Vice Mayor Brandon was in favor of having the property owner responsible for the
account.
Mayor Young asked who was responsible for the costs associated with the delinquent
accounts.
The topic would be placed on another Workshop Meeting agenda with examples of how
other municipal water departments handled similar situations.
2. Update on Land Development Regulations Recommended as part of the
Commercial Corridor Master Plan
Mr. Lance Lilly, Senior Land Planner with Chen Moore and Associates presented a
powerpoint on land development regulations as they pertained to the commercial corridor
master plan.
Mr. Lilly went over the overlay districts , noting the changes from the December 2023
meeting. Some areas he addressed were: formula businesses square footage of 1250 or
special exception use, front setbacks of 20 ft. maximum, formula business definition and
exemptions, criteria of formula businesses, US1 overlays, drive throughs and formula
restaurants, Village Center overlay map revisions, landscape elements, civic open
spaces, district overlays, payments in lieu, waivers, rear parking, facade transparency
and waiver vs. variance.
Council had questions regarding maximum square footage for formula businesses,
property appraiser data, waivers, and the appeal process.
Manager Allen would have an analysis done on the formula business size. Additionally,
Mayor Young asked that the appeal process be more defined.
Community Director Jay Hubsch would amend the informational language in the waiver,
and bring it back to Council for review.
3. Living Shorelines Presentation and Consideration of Code Updates
Mr. Jay Hubsch, Community Development Director provided a power point presentation
for Council which included the following information as it related to living shorelines: cost
comparisons, bulkheads/seawalls, the Village Comprehensive Plan, Village code, Jupiter
code, maps, riprap/mangroves, revertments, unarmoured shorelines and code
recommendations.
He believed the Village codes could be tightened up by getting rid of loopholes and
Pag@ c2f 0-09
Agenda Item #5. 01 Draft
keeping the shorelines natural.
Council Member Sartory had concerns with keeping the shoreline natural due to constant
erosion. Mr. Hubsch believed Council could grant fill in certain situations and codify as
such.
Vice Mayor Brandon would like to see riprap on wide water and was in favor of a natural
shoreline.
Council Member Painter supported a natural shoreline and questioned repairs to
seawalls.
Mayor Young did not want to create a hardship for residents with how the mangroves
would be impacted when a seawall needs replaced down the road and supported it. Mr.
Hubsch would research the hardship element and would speak with a coastal engineer
to ensure the Village was headed in the right direction. Additionally, he would research
standards for bulkheads and seawalls.
The topic would move forward to the LPA (Local Planning Agency) and be brought back
to Council.
