CONSIDERATION OF CONFIRMATION OF VILLAGE MANAGER APPOINTMENT OF STEPHEN J. ALLISON AS CHIEF OF POLICE, PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.02(7) OF THE VILLAGE CHARTER. Village Manager Bradford explained that one of his duties was to appoint Department Heads, subject to the approval of the Village Council, based on merit and fitness for duty alone. • The Village Manager explained that current Assistant Chief of Police Stephen J. Allison had been appointed Acting Chief of Police upon the retirement of Police Chief Carl Roderick, and it was Mr. Bradford's desire to appoint Mr. Allison to the position of Chief of Police. Village Manager Bradford provided information regarding ' Assistant Chief of Police Allison's qualifications, stating that he was the highest ranking officer of the Department and would be the logical choice to assume the command of Chief of Police. The Village Manager commented that Mr. Allison had had a long and distinguished career with the Tequesta Police Department and possessed the capability to lead the Department into the next century. Village Manager Bradford explained that Mr. Allison was a native of Sanford, Florida, and had lived in Hobe Sound since 1964, was married and had two grown children, had obtained a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Criminal Justice from FAU, had served in the U.S. Army for three years after which he became a police officer for the Town of Jupiter Island. On January 1, 1977, Mr. Allison had joined the Tequesta Police Department, and had been promoted to Road Patrol Sergeant, then to Lieutenant, and subsequently to Assistant Chief of Police. Village Manager Bradford reported that Special Village Council Meeting Minutes July 2, 1996 Page 3 both he and the Public Safety Committee had had the idea to begin grooming Mr. Allison for the position of Chief of Police in recognition of the fact that they knew Chief Roderick would soon retire. Village Manager Bradford recommended that the Village Council confirm the Village Manager' s appointment of Stephen Allison as Chief of Police of the Tequesta Police Department. Councilmember Capretta, Chair of the Public Safety Committee, expressed agreement with the Village Manager's comments; and explained that the Tequesta Police Department was unique in that there were more police officers per 1000 people than n most villages of the same size because the people wanted that safety and security. Councilmember Capretta explained that the residents also wanted to feel close to their police and fire fighters, therefore, it was very important that the officers knew how to conduct themselves with the people so that they would have a feeling of safety. Councilmember Capretta explained that Tequesta' s police officers were trained so that even when arresting someone they treated them • very courteously. Officers were promoted from within the ranks to keep that concept in place. Councilmember Meder expressed his delight that Mr. Allison had been appointed as Chief of Police. Councilmember Hansen agreed with the previous comments regarding Mr. Allison and agreed that promoting from within the ranks was best . Councilmember Hansen made a motion to approve the Village Manager' s appointment of Stephen J. Allison as Chief of Police of the Tequesta Police Department. Councilmember Meder seconded the motion.

Donaldson A. Hearing, Cotleur Hearing, Inc. , Agent for Garden Square Shoppes, Ltd. , Owner. (A QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING) 1) Swearing-In of Witnesses Village Clerk Joann Manganiello conducted the swearing-in of the following people who were interested in speaking on this matter: Donaldson Hearing, Mike Scorah, Rick Green, Charles_ Hathaway, Andrea Troutman, John Giba, and Edwin J. Nelson. 2) Testimony of Witnesses and Cross Examination, If Any William Shannon, attorney for the applicant and resident of the Village residing at 46 Chestnut Trail, explained that a resume of all experts who would testify had been provided. The experts were listed as Mr. Hearing, Mr. Scorah, and Miss Troutman. Mr. Shannon explained that if the Village Council members wished further information that they could make inquiries as each expert approached the • podium. Mr. Shannon explained that the applicant was seeking site plan approval, special exception approval and approval of some landscape waivers. The individuals who would be speaking would use presentation boards as well as some information screens . Mr. Shannon explained that these items would be referred to as exhibits, and provided a listing of the exhibits to the Village Clerk. Mr. Shannon introduced the first witness: Donaldson A. Hearing, Landscape Architect and Site Planner. Donaldson Hearing stated his offices were at 1070 East Indiantown Road, Jupiter, Florida, and that his firm had been responsible for planning Tequesta Oaks, a Mixed-Use Development proposed to be located Special Village Council Meeting Minutes July 2, 1996 Page 5 on 13. 6 . acres in downtown Tequesta, formerly the site of Lighthouse Plaza. Mr. Hearing explained that many of the larger establishments formerly in the Plaza had relocated to U.S. Highway One and the only one remaining notable commercial enterprise at the Plaza was McCarthy's Restaurant. Mr. Hearing stated that the applicant, D.C. Land Company, Ltd. , proposed to redevelop the site and to construct 160 unit townhomes and a new single-story free-standing building to accommodate McCarthy's restaurant just to the west of Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan building fronting on Tequesta Drive. The project would be built out at a density of 11 .76 dwelling units per acre, well below the allowable maximum of 18 units per acre provided for within the Mixed-Use Zoning District. The underlying land use of the property was commercial and the zoning designation was mixed use. The layout of the townhomes was done in a traditional style in keeping with the mixed-use district. The streets were organized into a series of blocks which were bisected by a main street with access from Tequesta Drive. The streets were narrow to reinforce the traditional style, to be more consistent with urban development patterns, to provide traffic calming, and to pay less attention to the automobile and more attention to pedestrians. The streets were more narrow than the 50-foot right of way required, however, waivers were allowed. To further reinforce the Village character, the streets would be lined with large Live Oaks planted at 14 ' to 16' which would provide a canopy across the narrow streets. Access would be from Tequesta Drive, and the current access from U.S. One would be eliminated. The main street, known as Tequesta Oaks Drive, would extend from Tequesta Drive north to a terminal vista of an architectural feature providing a terminal view and doubling as the pool and recreational facility. No homes would front onto the main street. Access to the individual townhomes would be off of the main street onto localized blocks with streets not designed to provide Special Village Council Meeting Minutes July 2, 1996 Page 6 • circulation throughout the community. All streets within the community would be public, drainage would be maintained by the Homeowners Association, and no gates or guardhouses would be installed. Mr. Donaldson explained that the townhomes had been designed to provide many of the comforts of single family homes with the benefits of multi-family housing. Each townhome would have a 26' x 86' platted lot, a rear yard, a side yard, with access to the rear yard from the side. The rear yard had been designed to accommodate a small pool . In the rear of the back-to-back townhomes, a 5 to 6-foot high masonry wall would be provided for additional privacy. The community would be pedestrian oriented. Over-sized 6-foot sidewalks would be provided on both sides of the main road extending from Tequesta Drive to the recreation facility. Pedestrian access would be provided to St. Jude's Catholic Church and to the commercial shopping area to the east. A future pedestrian access point would be provided to the west. Mr. Donaldson explained that each townhome would contain 3 bedrooms and 2- 1/2 baths in a total of 1, 360 square feet of air conditioned space, plus a 427 square foot 2-car garage. The architectural style would be classic Mizner style with details taken from Palm Beach Mizner architecture. The roof would be modified Spanish S-tiles made of clay in a 3-color blend representative of the soft earth-tone color. samples provided. Shutters of varying colors and designs would provide architectural variety. Each townhome would have an arched portico entranceway. The exterior material would be an elastomeric with integral color which would require little maintenance with true colors maintained for quite some time. Mr. Donaldson pointed out that a variety of palms would be provided, however, emphasis would be on the large canopy trees. The commercial component of the site plan was McCarthy's Restaurant, which would be housed in a new free- standing 200-seat 5900 S. E. building with 68 parking Special Village Council Meeting Minutes July 2, 1996 Page. 7 • spaces. The restaurant building's architectural style would blend in with the character of the Tequesta Oaks community by utilizing the same exterior color scheme and roof material, and feature , bay windows and use of wood in their sign. Mr. Donaldson explained that two landscape waivers would be required in the commercial area. The close proximity of adjacent commercial buildings did not allow room for the 5-foot landscape buffer required between commercial uses, however, the applicant was providing all of the landscaping required under Ordinance 377 . The second waiver request was to allow deletion of the 5-foot divider median between abutting rows of parking spaces to allow stronger traffic circulation, and to put that landscaping against the pedestrian walkway located along the main street. Mr. Donaldson explained that the main project signage for the residential component would utilize a classical architectural style using the classic Mizner cobalt blue tile with simple lettering for . Tequesta Oaks. McCarthy' s Restaurant signage would reflect the historical character of the community. Mr. Donaldson concluded that it was believed this project was consistent with the mixed use zoning standards of the Village, the Comprehensive Plan, and the spirit, intent, goals and objectives of the Village. Michael B. Scorah, Civil Engineer, discussed drainage, water and sewer, and explained that the existing drainage would be removed in its entirety. The new drainage system would be installed in the street system utilizing exfiltration piping conveyed by a series of culverts down to a series of small dry retention areas along the west property line. Mr. Scorah explained that the existing dome which allowed water to flow down onto Tequesta Drive would be removed, which would allow 95% runoff to be Special Village Council Meeting Minutes July 2, 1996 Page 8 contained on the site prior to discharge through a controlled discharge which would travel through the dry retention system and then out into an existing system in Tequesta Drive. This would greatly reduce the existing impact on the Village drainage system. A small amount, less than 3, 000 square feet, at the entrance road would be discharged directly but would have no major impact. Potable water would come from a looped system created by connections into the water line in front of Fidelity Federal and also into the line in front of the church. The fire flow requirements would be met. Sanitary sewer would not require a pumping station. Electrical, phone, and cable television would be installed by the respective utilities. Mr. Scorah explained the traffic circulation pattern. A shunt turn-around had been provided where needed. Andrea Troutman, Registered Professional Engineer with David Plummer and Associates, explained that their firm had completed the Traffic Impact Analysis for the project and that it met Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards for roadway links and for the computer model Test 2. Mr. Shannon concluded by commenting that this plan met all requirements of the Mixed-Use Ordinance, that waivers were presented for consideration, and that he was pleased to bring this project to the Village Council . 3) Disclosure of Ex-Parte Communications A poll of the Village Councilmembers revealed there had been no ex-parte communications except ' that Councilmember Meder reported he had made a trip to the site to look it over. 4) Further Testimony of Witnesses and Cross Examination Special Village Council Meeting Minutes July 2, 1996 Page 9 John Giba, 78 Fairview East, commented that he was happy that this was a residential development which would provide more people with more spendable • dollars; and was also happy that the architecture had been softened so that it did not look like a barracks. Mr. Giba expressed concern that there was only one entrance for ingress and egress, which was dangerous. Mr. Giba commented that he presumed that the condominium association would be responsible for maintenance of roads and drainage. Mr. Giba commented this was the first step in alleviating the blight in the downtown area. Ed Nelson, 370 Riverside Drive, commented that he had received legal notification, being a property owner within 300 feet, and that his property was contiguous. Mr. Nelson expressed his opinion that if the project was carried out as presented to the Village that it would be an asset to the town and a wonderful neighbor. Mr. Hearing responded to Mr. Giba's concerns regarding alternative ingress and egress by explaining that entrance was available through the Fidelity Federal location, but there was no access point to the north. Councilmember Meder questioned future plans for Parcel '2, to which Mr. Hearing responded that Parcel 2 now provided access over to U.S. One; however this project had been oriented toward the Village. The parcel was anticipated to be available for future commercial use oriented toward U.S. One, but with pedestrian access from Tequesta Oaks. Councilmember Meder inquired whether lights on the backs of Mr. Nelson' s buildings would create problems for residents in Tequesta Oaks. Mr. Hearing responded that if a problem existed that there were ways that lights could be shielded, and that the landscaping, wall, and setbacks would also lessen the possibility Special Village Council • Meeting Minutes July 2, 1996 Page 10 of problems from those lights. Mr. Hearing explained that trees would be placed in tree grates in the parking lot to create the feel of a plaza. In response. to Mr. Meder's concern that cars would be parked in driveways across sidewalks, Mr. Hearing responded that was correct, and that pedestrians walking on sidewalks on the secondary streets would have to walk around cars. Mr. Hearing commented that a pattern to bring cars and people together was being encouraged in urban planning, and that in this project the narrow streets and canopy trees would slow traffic to allow that concept. Mr. Meder expressed concern for safety where no sidewalk existed at the end of the u-shaped street and people would have to walk in the street. Mr. Meder referred to Exhibit "C" which showed on-street parking, and was pleased with Mr. Hearing's comment that the on-street parking had been removed. Village Manager Bradford commented there was confusion regarding the sidewalks in front of the townhomes in that the site plan indicated a sidewalk on the plan, however, Exhibit 'B' stated sidewalks were not provided on residential streets . Mr. Hearing explained that the Village had been provided with exhibits as the plans progressed and that changes were reflected on the final site plan. Mr. Hearing verified that on-street parking on the main street had been eliminated to a point but was still proposed in one area; however, responded to the Village Manager that future parking problems were not anticipated since residents would be encouraged to park in their garages, and also explained that this project was surrounded by available parking in the adjacent shopping center and church lots if needed in case of a party in the development. Vice Mayor Schauer advised that she worked at St. Jude and the parking lot was not lit except when used by the church. Councilmember Meder commented that cars were towed when parked along roads, to which Mr. Hearing responded that had been made clear by the Police Chief, and it would be a requirement of the Special Village Council Meeting Minutes July 2, 1996 Page 11 homeowners association that parking along the streets would not be allowed. Village Manager Bradford inquired whether the deletion of on-street parking on the main street was a physical constraint. Mr. Hearing responded that it was a physical constraint and was physically impossible to provide. Village Manager Bradford inquired whether the sidewalk in front of the townhomes was a physical or financial constraint, to which Mr. Hearing responded it was a physical space constraint and a conscious decision had been made to draw people to the streets. Village Manager Bradford inquired whether it would be safe to say that if this neighborhood were not self-contained with no physical constraints that this plan would probably have been presented with on-street parking. Mr. Hearing responded that he could not answer. Village Manager Bradford questioned whether Mr. Hearing had testified as to the benefits of on-street parking. Mr. Hearing stated he did not specifically testify to the benefits of on-street parking but had talked about the streetscape; however, the Village Manager was correct that on-street parking provided an additional calming effect, but their site plan had been redesigned to achieve that through the streetscape design and the type of curving utilized. Mr. Hearing commented that if these were all through streets out to U.S. One that a totally different approach would probably have been taken. Councilmember Hansen commented that he was quite impressed and felt staff questions had been resolved. Councilmember Hansen questioned how the units would be marketed. Charles Hathaway, Corporate Representative, Vice President of Austin Company and President of Sunco Building Corporation, • the builder of the project, explained that the intent was to market these units to everyone so that it would be a mixed community. The units would accommodate a family with children. During discussion of school busses, it was pointed out that Special Village Council Meeting Minutes July 2, 1996 Page 12 the School Board usually did not allow the school busses to enter developments so they would probably stop outside the development. Mr. Hathaway listed some of the options available as interior wall units, storage units in garages, and a small pool designed for the back yard. Mr. Hathaway explained that the exterior color would be designated for each building, and residents could choose the building with the color they desired if it were available. Councilmember Hansen questioned whether Village ' minimum property standards would be incorporated into homeowner association documents. Mr. Hathaway responded that he was not familiar with the minimum property standards, however, a homeowner's association would be responsible for drainage and for roads. Mr. Hathaway explained that mail would be delivered to the recreation facility and residents would go there to pick up their mail. Councilmember Capretta discussed the timing of demolition of the old buildings and building the new project. Mr. Hathaway explained that the scheduling plan included starting the new building for McCarthy's Restaurant approximately August 1 so that they should be able to start moving in around the first part of November and could be in and open for Christmas. Bids were currently being obtained for demolition, which would begin with the old K-Mart building and the west side of the shopping center. After McCarthy's building was completed and they had moved in, a sewer line could be installed and then the rest of the buildings could be torn down. Mr. Hathaway explained that it was expected that all underground improvements, demolition, and McCarthy's move would all be accomplished before the end of the second quarter of next year. Mr. Hathaway commented that unit sales would begin right away and by the end of the second quarter next year buildings should be in the process of construction. Mr. Hathaway explained that it would take 45 days to build a unit and if they were built at the rate of two per day Special Village Council Meeting Minutes July 2, 1996 Page 13 the whole project could be completed in 125 days. If all sales were completed up front, the project would be done in a year. Price would be in the low $100, 000's and no units would be rented by the applicant, however, there was no control over whether a purchaser rented a unit. Councilmember Capretta expressed concern for potential traffic problems during morning and evening workdays as people were leaving and returning from work due to only one entrance to the project. Councilmember Capretta suggested that a provision be made for ingress and egress to the Fashion Mall only in the event of a catastrophe. Drainage concerns were addressed by Mr.. Scorah, who explained that by removing the dome that the whole site would be at an elevation of 22 feet, the finish floor level of the bank was currently 23 feet, the finish floor level of McCarthy's new building would be 22 feet, and that the elevation of Tequesta Drive was 18.25 feet at the threshold, so that there would be a difference of 3 feet 9 inches. Grading would be done so that drainage would flow internally. Councilmember Meder requested clarification as to the location of The Flame building on one of the maps, which Mr. Scorah pointed out. Vice Mayor Schauer commended the applicant for answering every question posed by every Department Head. The Vice Mayor commented that she was happy with the language allowing only specific pets, prohibiting overnight parking on roads and in swales, and stated that she believed that this was a good project. Her only concern was with on-street parking. Village Manager Bradford clarified for the record that the infrastructure had been discussed with Building Official Scott D. Ladd and it was his understanding that the streets would be public, therefore the drainage system would be public, however had been told by Mr. Ladd that the dry retention areas would be maintained by the Special Village Council Meeting Minutes July 2, 1996 Page 14 homeowners association and not the drainage • infrastructure itself. The Village Manager asked Mr. Ladd to explain the situation regarding ownership and maintenance of the drainage infrastructure. Mr. Ladd explained that it was staff's recommendation that the Village not become involved in the three retention ponds, their weirs, and their infrastructure and that the Village not take over the maintenance of the exfiltration trench systems . Mr. Ladd clarified that the drainage pipes would be the responsibility of the Village except where there was an exfiltration trench within the pipe. Discussion ensued, in which it was clarified that exfiltration trenches on Tequesta Drive were maintained by the Village. Village Manager Bradford requested clarification regarding parking on the streets and pointed out that in the homeowner association documents that the association had the power to authorize parking of vehicles with their approval, and it was implied that they could also authorize daytime parking on the streets, while the Village intended to enforce no parking on the streets . Mr. Shannon stated that he would revise the documents to prohibit vehicles parking on the streets . Further discussion ensued regarding the drainage. It was the consensus of the Village Council that the Homeowner's Association would maintain the dry retention areas only and the remainder of the drainage system would be maintained and operated by the Village through its stormwater utility. Mr. Ladd commented that the Village would need to also monitor the retention ponds to be sure they were maintained. Jim Humpage and Al DeMott were sworn in by Village Clerk Manganiello. Jim Humpage, 360 Fiesta, commented that this was a nice meeting since everyone was happy. Mr. Humpage questioned what would happen to all the debris which would result from demolishing the buildings and was • Special Village Council Meeting Minutes July 2, 1996 Page 16 • • • 5) Finding of Fact Based Upon Competent, Substantial Evidence: a) Motion to Approve/Deny Special Exception Use b) Motion to Approve/Deny Site Plan c) Motion to Approve/Deny Landscape Waiver(s) Request Councilmember Meder made a motion to approve the Special Exception Use.

Mr. Humpage commented that with the new Special Master and Task Force that he anticipated no enforcement problems. Mr. Humpage encouraged the Village Council to approve this project. Al DeMott, Golfview Drive, expressed his delight that sewers were already in place and this project would only have to connect. Mr. DeMott questioned what would happen to the current ingress and egress to Fidelity Federal, and was advised there would be no change. Mr. DeMott expressed concern regarding the school bus issue because of the traffic during the season and the railroad track across Tequesta Drive. After discussion, Vice Mayor Schauer commented that was also a concern of hers and that possibly something could be worked out with the School Board. Ed Nelson commented that the Village had been done a disservice by DOT in cutting off crossovers on U. S. One. Mr. Nelson requested that construction trucks go through the Tequesta Drive entrance and not access the construction site via the Tequesta Mall. Mr. Hathaway assured the Village Council that the applicant would be happy to accommodate Mr. Nelson's concern. Village Manager Bradford questioned whether Parcel 2 was actually buildable, to which Mr. Ladd responded he had not had a chance to determine that. Mr. Shannon verified that the applicant believed Parcel 2 was buildable since it was within the Mixed Use District. John Giba expressed safety concerns with the internal traffic circulation and anticipated congestion. There were no other comments from the public. • • Special Village Council Meeting Minutes July 2, 1996 Page 17 • by the applicant.
