asked if there was anything that the ViYlage could do to be a part of it. Ms.
Winters mentioned this was the kick off for the comment period, which is open to
Deeember 31, 2005. She indicated this was to introduce the draft plan, and if there
were a need for additional meetings in the process they would be willing to come
back. She ment�oned there is a public meeting tomorrow afternoon from 3:00
P.M. to 6:00 P.M. at the Jupiter Community Center, followed by a public
workshop at 7:00 P.M. Council Member Geneo asked whether they were looking
for information from the pubiic on other uses for the area, such as watkways or
educational. Ms. Winters� commented they have put out a draft plan, but they are
interested in the public's ideas, suggestions and comments. Council Member
Genco asked when the official opening would be of the area. Ms. Winters
eommented the area is already open to the public, but noted there are no public
use facilities that promote the use. She ment�oned once they get th� pazking area
open it could be more widely used. Council Member Genco asked if Ms. Winters
coutd let Council know when the parking area was compieted, so that we could
. announce it in the Village newsletter. Ms. Winters stated tlus is just the begin�ing,
and would like to communicate with Council and the Village Manager as the
process goes along.
(Public Comment)
Mr. Pat Welsh, resident of Palm Beach Gardens noted there were a lat of seniors
that piay tennis there in the moming, and the baihroom facilities are always
locked. He asked if the bathroom facilities could be opened when the Park is .
opened. Ms. Winters indicated the Town of Jupiter is responsible for the restroom
facilities. Mr. Welsh suggested moving the trail on the northern end of the parking
lot into the park for safety reasons.
Council Member Paterno asked whether the FBLM would give land to Tequ�sta,
as they did with Jupiter, and incorpora.te something new within the 56 acres to
show the public it is within the Village of Tequesta. Ms. Winters noted there are
options and they will take suggestions. She mentioned they call it Jupiter Inlet to
give it a geographical sense. Council Member Paterno suggested something like a
Tequesta Preserve. Mr. Welsh asked if there were oppvrtunities for the public to
fish the areas. Mayor Humpage noted that suggestion would be something to take
to the Jupiter meeting tomorrow.
Mr. �d Oliver commented the rope swing in the area where the boats nestle up
against the eastern side of the 56 a.cre tract; he asked was there any way to allow
the public to come and enjay tbe area. He noted the public has been using it for
decades, and he did not want anyone to Iose sight that it is on the anlet and there
are fishing opportuniries there. He agreed on the north end there is not much
pazking, and looked like a traffic concern. He indicated the Town of Jupiter has
dedicated and focused their attention on a Riverwalk on the south side of the Inlet;
he suggested there might be an opportunity for a counterpoint on the northern side
of the inlet to somehow be compatible with the Riverwalk component.

Mr. Rob Ori, Public Resources Management (PR�, the Village's Utility

He mentianed the RO Well #4 which is a very expensive project cou]d
range from $ i million to $1.5 million dollars: He noted the nice thing is

noted it would be tight financ�ally,

short-term debt, 10-yeaz bank Ioan, to fund the whole project, in case
something happened and the Village had the need to fund everything• He
indieated he was very haPpY t° s� t�a� �e Village has the leveraging
capability in the system to pay that debt and not raise the water rates

Village could move forward with the project from Reserves, �and if
needed, a fall back position, the Village could issue bonds through a local
bank, at a low rate, and very low timefrune.
Village Manager Couzzo noted this was the thu'd yeaz that the Village had
been fortunate enough to be rated in the top ranking, and be given a grant
from SFWMD. He explained SFWMD was pleased with the Village's

Council Member Genco asked who would be using this additional �'�'ater•
Mr. Jenson stated the Village was hying ta caPture the grant funds now to
construet the well that the Village was anticipati.ng conslructing itn the
future. Village Manager Couzzo explained the Village is going to have to
replace the water when the Village lases the Jupiter supply in 2007.
Council Member Genco felt Well #3 was supposed to supply the water.
Viilage Manager Couzzo noted when the ad.ditional train is put on it will
supply 1.2 MGD's, and the Village presently purchases 1.35 MGD from
Jupiter. He indicated the Village uses the 1.3 MGD's at this time. Council
Member Genco noted when the Village originally went into the agreement .
they were not using the full arnount.
Council Member Paterno asked what the maximum use was on a
particulaz day. Mr. White indicated araund Plant S roducecurrently.
Member Paterno asked how much can the W P
Mr. White stated without Jupiter 3.2 1VIGD. Council Member Pateino
noted the new well replaces the difference. He asked what amount did the
consumption go up each yeaz. Village Manager Gouzzo noted that was a
hard to stay, because the Village has added a considerable new customer
base, Tropic Vista, and Cove Point. Vice Mayor Watkins mentioned she
understood Council M�mber Genco's question; does the Village have a
need for the extra water.. She commented the Village may not need it
today, but they wili need it in the next few years.
Mz�. Bill Reese, Principal, Arcadis Reese Macon and Associates indicated �
wha.t he has heazd this evening is completely correct; he reiterated Well 3
neazly replaces what the Village was buying from Jupiter 1.2 MGD versus
1.35MGD. He mentioned the Plant capacity has several elements to it, a
filter plant that has a rated capacity of 2•7 MGD. He commented as a
practical matter it is not a new plant, and to represent that it would do 2.7
MGD, it really can not get 2.7 MGD effectively. He explained one train is
1.2MGD, which brings the capacity to 3.9 MGD, the second txain would
take the Viilage higher, but the Village would be taking off Jupiter, so the
net effect, saying the plant can do 2.2 or 2.3 MGD, that puts the Village at
4.8 MGD. He noted the Village has seen a m�imum day in 2U04 at 3.9
MGD and then add the 1.3 MGD on top of that• He stated it is fair to say
tha.t the second train will cover the present needs of the Village, but was
not fair to say it would cover more than the Village's needs. He
commented if the Village has any growth� at some point the third train
would need to be added. Mr. Jenson pointed out the Village was currently
working an the Consumption Use Permit and the 14 year use projections.
Mr. Reese felt the Village would use the well, because it would rotate inta
the sequence. Mayor Humpage stated the Village could have to do it a11,
the well and the train. Mr. Reese stated the water quality that comes from
the filter plant is not the same as it is from the membrane plant.

I�ZINLTTIES - Village Council Regular Meeting 11/17/OS
Page 17
Mr. Reese felt the Village would need the extra train to blend the products
if new regulations come into effect down the road. Vice Mayor Watkins
asked if they had any Ievel of comfort this project was doable in the
timeframe. Mr• Reese indicated it was doable, but cautioned Council there
is always an element of uncertainly and risk when drilling a well.
Village Manager Couzzo explained he read through the agreement and
there may be some leverage in negotiating an extension under some
circumstances. Mt. Reese agreed there is a provision in the agreement to
an extension under same circwnstances, but noted they are very serious
about the deadline. Council Member Genco nated because the Village
would actually have more raw water at our disposal that we can process
withaut another train; she asked is there a requirement from SFVVNIlID that
the Village would be able to process the water, or sunply that we drill to
water that we have available. Mr. Reese indicated he had not seen that ut
the agreement, and he was nat aware of any SFWMD criteria He
mentioned the District was going to encourage everyone to do that,
because that was the whole goint of the alternative water supply was to put
wells in the ground that altow anyone to withdraw from the deeper aquifer
and take the strain off the surifical.
Council Member Genco asked if Council utilized the Reserves that we
now have in the water utility does it mean that the Village would not be
able to refund the bonds eazlier. Mr. Ori agx'eed the bonds could not be
refunded. Council Member Genca indicated the Village coutd keep the
debt the ssme way it is. Mr. Ori indicated he did not recommend that the
bonds be refunded. Council Member Genco felt the Council may be
leaning towards refunding the bonds if the Village continued to build up
the Reserves. She noted it did not make sense to build up the reserves and
not do something with the money. Mr. 4ri stated that ls �°rrect, a�d �'�'�ti
the Village has been doing witth the reserves what he can see is putting it � ,
back into the system through cash funding capitat projects, and building
the eq�tity up. He comrnented that is a positive thing. Council Member
Genco pointed out she is not in favor of incu.rring debt. She menrioned
everything that the Village has done up until now, including keeping the
ad valorem as high as it is has been to not incur debt and not increase
ta�ces, and she would not be in favor of taking money to spend money the
Village does not have. NI�'. Ori stated he felt the Village does have the
money to spend on this project. Council Member Genco noted the
philosophy of Council was to not to incur debt, and to eventually lower the
Village's ad valorem tax.
Council Member Paterno noted this was from the water utility side, and
not directly affected by the acl vatorem tax. He commented if this would
better the water for the residents; since the Viila�e wvuld need to do the
well in the next 3-5 years; and the price will go up and to ha�e no debt; he

Ms. Catherine Hazding, Director of Community Development noted the
applicant Allied Capital and Development was applying and appearing
before Council to request a review and is seeking approva� for a Planned
Commercial Development (PCD) within the C-2 Commercial District. She
indicated a PCD is a special exception use within the C-2 Gommercial
District, as stated. in Section 78-251 of the Village code af ordinances. She
mentioned a Special Exception use is allowed under Section 78-177d(3).
She indicated the Special Exception was approved by the Planning and
Zoning Advisory Board by a 4-0 vote at their July 7, 2005 Meeting.
Nir, Terry Lewis, Attorney, Lewis Longnnan and Walke�', and representing
the applicant introduced his team, Ms. Sherie Pavlick Mr. Ed Oliver, and
Mr. George Gentile. Mr. Levvis clarified Council has before them two
items. He mentioned the Village code obligates the applicant to come
farward to ask for a special exception, with a coneeptual plan. He felt it
made sense to describe the conceptual plan, and then go through the
eriteria in the code, Seetion 78-362 and 78-363.
Mr. Lewis noted the only comments he has aze preliminary to NIr.
Gentile's presentation. He mentioned Royal Tequesta has been working

before Council is for a 5 story, mixed use development with a 74 foot
elevation, and 79 condominium units and commercial space. Mr. Lewis
reiterated the Planning and Zoning $oard reviewed the request in Ju1y
2005, and made a unanimous recommendation for approval. He explained
after fiuther discussions with Staff the project has been mudified and naw
reflects the 5 stories. He pointed out this was a 6 stary structure when it

Council Member Genco asked the percentage of commercial versus
residential use far the building. Mr. Gentile explained they have 7,500
square feet of commercial and if you look at it based on the lot coverage
area, which is the footprint of the liuildin8 because they are units, it would.
be approximately 14%. Council Member Genco clarified 14% of the
footprint. Council Member Paterno indicated he sa.w a number of 275,000.
He asked what the applicant was counting as the 7,500 square feet for
cammerciai space. Mr. Gentile pointed out it is in the front area of the
building. "
Mr. Ed Oliver, Project Architect, Oliver Glidden Spina. and Partners and
representing Roya1 Tequesta pointed out an the plan, on one corner they
1�ave two levels tha.t are available for commercial use; one is at the main
lobby level of about 3,900 sc�uare feet, and below that is another identical
level. He mentioned the way it is set up on the plan is that they have the
abitity to have the resident's traffic monitored at one point, but still have
the 30 spa�ces out front with direct public access to th� commercial space.
Council Member Paterno clarified that the commerciai levels were 3,900
square feet, and another 3,300 square feet was beiow the grade. Mr. Oliver
responded in the affumative, noting there was a change in grade going
from a very Iow e�evatian at the street to a very high eievation at the back
corner of the property. He stated the Iower elevation was accessible from
the pazking spaces and the sidewalk. Council Member Genco commented
half of it is below natural ground, and 1�alf of it is above na.tural gtound.
Mr. Oliver pointed out someone would enter at mid level, and go down a
bit, or up a bit. Council Member Genca asked if it was Iike a split- level.
Mr. pliver agreed.
Council Member Genco asked if the project was 1'/2 stories above natural
ground. Mr. Oliver sta.ted someone would enter at mid level in between
two levels. He stated they were not altering the grade, but it was not 1'/2
stories. He noted this was a conceptual plan, and that this site would still
have to come in for final plans and design. Council Member Paterno
questioned the total square feet of the entire building. Mr. Oliver stated
abaut 157,000 square feet of air conditioned space, not counting the slab
azeas of the balconies, and does not include the underground parking,
wluch was typically not a requirement for floor area ratios calculations. He
noted about 157,000 square feet, which included all five levels of each of
the two towers, along with the lobby space that connects in beri'veen the
two towers: Council Ntember Genco asked if any of the residential would
be at or below ground• Mr• Oliver noted a11 residential areas were above
grade, and the only azea that was partly submerged was the commercial
area. Council Member Genco asked what type of commercial use the
applicant was proposing.

Mr. Gentile stated at this time they do not have it leased, but indicated
they have had interest from a health club, a fitness center, and some retail.
�Ie noted it woutd depend on what they get at the time of the project.
Council Member Genco asked if they allowed for enough pazking spaces
for whatever use that might go in• Mr• Gentile feit they had ample parking
for the commercial use.
Council Member Genco asked if they ha.ve a unity of title for both pieces.
Mr, I,,ewis stated as far as he knew, yes. He indicated. he was nat their rea1
estate lawyer, but so far as he knew, yes they do. Council Member Genco _
noted the last time she looked _ they did not have it. Mr. Lewis stated he
would confum that for Council Member Genco. Council Member Genco
indicated that would be the next thing they have to do for the next review.
She asked what they felt would be the benefit to the Village by having .
these residential units. She asked how many residential units were
proposed. Mr. Gentile stated there are 79 residential units. F�e commented
the allowable : residential density was 86 based on the code. He felt the
residential component was a benefit to the Village for a numbe'r of
reasons. He stated as a Planner the residential components adjacent to the
property make it compatible with the residential use of that area; there is
r other cammercial space, within the corridor of U.S. One, tha.t these
residents will provide another user for those commercial azeas, rather than
bringing in more competition; and it would bring in more users within
walking distance of the commercial areas• IVI�'• Oliver stated tllls vacant
piece of property was not generating any tax revenue or water usage. He
commented it �vas an apportunitY to develop this piece of praperty and
that it is a good location relative ta their neighbars to the south, and Casa
Del Sol project to the north. Mr. Gentile felt tbe design comgliments that
azea of the Village very nicely, and the market response for the sale of
- residential property in a Viilage like Tequesta is very strong. He noted the
Viliage has an excellent reputation in terms of a place to live in a
c o m m u n i t y, a nd that the y think it will be a benefit to the people that live in
Tequesta.
Council Member Genco asked what the applicant purposes for the interior
ceiling heights for floors 2, 3 and 4. Mr. Oliver stated the ceiling heights
will be 9 feet, the bottom floor will be higher to accommodate the lobby
and the recreation rooms and the top floor will also be higher. Council
Member Paterno asked what the residential square footage would be on
the total residential space. Mr. Geritile indicated it was 4% or 5°fo. Vice
Mayor Watkins asked if the commercial component was going to be open
to the public. Mr. Gentile stated it would be open to the�ptub�i�n �oned
� when the site plan comes back that could be someth�ng
under the Special Exception use. Council Member Paterno asked if the
averall height was going to be within the code at 74 foot. Mr. Gent�le
stated that was correct.

Council Member Paterno asked about the underground residentiaT storage
units, and if that would be considered an a� �� M mber Patemo�fel
that it would not be considered a baseme
it was a basement and that it could reduce the height by 15 feet. Mr. Oliver
explained the pro,ject has fwo parking levels; the upper pazking level has a
15-foot height because after speaking with Fire Cluef Weinand they felt it
would be adYanta�eous to have the room to bring in emergency response
vehicles, not fue trucks, into tha.t level. He commented the parking gardge
is a garage as opposed to a basement, when you are talking about habitable
space the garage has people in it, but they are not living there. He stated a ,
storage unit for a r�sident living in the building, much like a mechanical
equipment rocsrn, is consi de r e d a use t h a t i s i n cid ental and necessary to the :
functioning of the building, but it is not a habitable space. He felt they are
not gaining extra height because they are putting their stora�e units in the
basement; it is simply to accommodate the residents. Council Member
Paterno noted that his interpretation is that it is a basement. Mr. Oliver
pc>inted out it is sort of like a garage in Flaz�ida where you stare things. He
� commented up north we ha.ve basements down here we have gazages. He
stated if push came to shave .and they had ��l�nat �e ��� of
they would. He commented tha.t certau�ly
their residents nor does it practically affect the height of the building.

could increase the overall height of the building where it comes up to the

MIl�TUTES - Village Council Regular Meeting 11/17/OS
Page 28
Council Member Genco pointed out they do not have to, because
everything is null and void before that. She explained anything that is
adopted is replaced by the code when Council adopted the recodification
ordinance. Mr. Gentile sta.ted when someone does a resolution and there is
an error and the text is different elsewhere, you go back to the adoption
ordinance that the Council adopted.
Mr. Gentile stated an ordinance was adopted that Council had the
discretion ta go f staries, 86 feet. He felt the recodification does not
rewrite the code, that it was a scrivener's error in. the text. Council
Member Genco indicated if the code was recadified after the ordinance
was made, this code is the one that would prevail. She commented this
code was adopted along with the Florida Building and Zoning code:
• Mayor Humpage cbmmented Mr. Gentile feels that there was an error
� made of how it was written• He nated Council signed Qrdinance 390 in
September 19$9, and it has the heights of 5 stories, 70 feet. Council
Member Genco indicated it references a lot of things in the same
ordinance that aze no longer the same numbers• Mr• Lewis noted unless
. there is specific repeal of an ordinance or amendment to that ordinance,
the ordinance should stand. Council Member Genco indicated the Village
no longer has an Article 16. Mr. Lewis stated the Village does have an
ordinance that specifically speaks to the height of the staries, and that it
� has not been repealed or amended since 1989.
Attorney Hawkins indicated the way it is framed, he understands Council
Member Genco's point, but Yhe Village has an internat inconsistency that
does not make sense, but the Village atso has a variance with the schedule.
He noted they also have the mandatory use of the word "sha11" and when
he would argue statutory construction the word "sha11" means that it
"sha11" govern. He commented when the code says that it sha11 be the
same limitations as G2 that is a mandatory statement by the fiamer that it
shall be. He stated tb:ere is an inconsistency, as Council Member Genco
pointed out, but the schedule says 70 feet, and there is mandatory language
used ta refer back to C-2, which is the underlying zoning- He sta.ted there
is language about the conflict, he understands that, but he interprets
statutes everyda.y and the presence of that term "sha11" is important. He
noted he is mindful of Ordinance 390, which talks about 70 feet, but he is
not specifically aware of where that was �epealed. He indicated he has not
seen a document to indicate that. Council Member Genco stressed that she
was under the assumptian that Council adopted the code that is in the
current black book, and that Council repealed all the prior ordinances that
were adopted. She noted it would only make sense to her, that when the
Village is trying to look at the ordinance and reference the sections it is
talking about that they do not exist anymore. She commented if you are
going to Section 7, it does not match with the Section 7 in the black book
anymore, and does not match with subsection a.
28

She indicated none of it matches so it is obvious that ordinaitce was
repealed when this was adopted. Mr• Lewis stated he disagreed with that•
Council Member Genco commented when you do an addendum, you red
line and black line and add in, you do not reference the code with hav�g
the same numbering and the same Articl�s. Mr. ou do not r� it a statute
fairly standard rule, statutory construchon, that y ePe�
by implication. He commented there is no repeal of that ordinance. He
explained the applicant has spent six months abiding by that, and taking
the direction on just that point.
Mayor Humpage noted when he goes back and reviews the
otten from Planning ana Zoning Boazd and
communications hE has g /70 feet. He felt
Community Development Staff' it is all the same, 5 story
Council should look at the way the Village has directed these people. He
stated the Village has been directing these people for a year on 5 stories/74
feet and naw the coin is being flipped on them. Council Member Genco
felt that it was verY imPort�t to bring up. She noted the building height
was at 70 feet, but the top of their parai�et was at 84 feet. Mr. Gentile
agreed that goes higher, he noted the height is measured to the mid point
of a sloped roof structure. Mayor HumP�ge agreed �e P�pe� on the rear

discretion to do any height they choose. He asked if
Gentile agreed, and indicated he was just tcyin$ to explain what the code
says. Mr. I.ewis stated if the applic�nt eomplies with the code, they are
entitled to a 70-foot height. He commented how Council intends to
interpret that feature of the btulding is in the eYe af the beholder. Mayor
Humpage noted he was surprised the largest section of the building on
both sides is for the elevator. Mr. Oliver stated the life safety code requires
that in a building this high, that Stairs go to th� roof. He stated in every
jurisdiction that he has ever practiced in for quite sometime, things such as
elevator penthouses, which the override far the elevator stair towers above
the roof for those purposes, things such as paraPets a�'e unilaterally not
included typically
in building height. He noted one thing is these
architectural elements are not solid, they are open; � but if they were solid
you would go half way up the slqpe for the mid point.
Mayor Humpage commented the elevations from U.S. One run from 16 '/Z
to 17 feet to the center of the road, and then it goes from 17 feet to' 3Q feet
in some areas. He asked if that was the natura.� slope of the land. Mr•
Oliver clarified the elevation is at 15.4 at the driveway, and the northeast
carner of the property is 14.5 at the edge of the pavemeso e f et a�t the
existing topograp hy goes fr o m t h e l o w p o m t u p t o 3 0

Mr. Oliver mentioned the first floor lobby level was at elevation 26.0 feet.
He stated from the code the way the building height is measured is from
e surrounding the building. He stated they believe they
the average grad that Council would see
more than satisf3' that. He indicated he would hope i exception
the benefit of this project moving forwazd under � SP��� roval
approval, so that theY can come back in for the formal site ptan app
with the details.
Mayor Humpage coxnmented one of the things under the special exception
is that they should be eompatible with surroundmg area- He stated if this
project has the topography it has that he did not feel there were in the
same ballpazk. He noted this project is going to be 30 feet higher than
Casa Del Sol, and as high a� the St Jude Cross. Mr. Oliver stated they
would be quite a bit further away from the road. He noted when he was the
azchitect and analyzing
the Casa Del Sol site, they studied a taller
building, but they had a Mobile gas station in front of the project, and the
development team decided not to do that. He stated they decided from a
market standl�oint on that location to build a 3-story townhouse, with the
commercial to the frant of the residential.
Mr. Olivex comrnented on this particulaz project the�amo� o n g �
space t h at t hey are a b l e t o p r o v i d e b o t h l a n d s c a p e d as P e
� is e n h a n eed b y the abili t y to take aci�'antage af the Village's portion of the
code that allows them to go wi�h Councii approval up to that 5�' floor not
to exceed 70 feet. He noted less than 25°l0 of the roof plan area of the
building is represented by these tower elements. Hs felt that was a real
plus. He stated if the Council came back and said just do not do it when
they come in for the site plan they would not, but they think it is a better
project, and it dc�es not ge t t hem an y t h i n g if it is eliminated. He felt it
helped add some t h i ng to t he a r c h i t ectural character of the building. He
stated these are comments that theY want to hear.
se and intent of the
Council Member Paterno read from the code the purpo ue commercial
PCD. He asked how the Village was going to have a uniq
oriented focus on this project. IVIr. Gentile eommented it is unique that it is
a mixed use, with a commercial component and residential units• He noted
that Section also indicates and establishes a living environment in the PCD
as well. He felt the applicant has accomplished that to make the ProJect
successful and unique by having a commercial component that is
integrated in with the residential units• He felt they were meeting the
intent of the PCD ordinance. He mentioned he spent a week of his time
when the Viliage was going through the Charette meetings. He stated he
knows what the intent was to provide the ability to have a mix of uses, not
only just on one site, but mixeds d n��component into the area ""as a
district. He felt bruiguig the re
benefit to the ather commercial entities that already exist.

He noted they brought a commercial �ntity into this to provide a mixed
use, which is unique itseif, because it is actually integrated into the
building. He indicated the Village does not have it anywhere else on that
comdor. He felt they meet the intent and the past historY of Tequesta. He
suggested they have missed on a lot of areas in the StudY area, from
Tequesta Drive, north to County Line Road by not integrating mixed-us�s,
putting commercial inside or with residents above it,
Council Member' pa�erno commEnted thits PCD is within the C-2
Community, and the Purpos� of the C-2 is "this District will serve the
community at large and provide a mixture of convenient goods and
services that offer a greater variety of use then permitted at a .
neighborhood level: ' He asked how the applicant was providing services
in this commercial area, and building. Mr. Gentile indicated he did not
know what wotild be going into the commercial space, and there may be
some uses in there that would bring services to those residents and to the
surrounding residents in the area. Council Member Paterno pointed out the
applicant was proposing less_ than 4% of the property for commercial that
will be serving the public at large. He felt the intent of the PCD was ta
establish a unique opportunitS' that a�so serves the public, the whole
Village. He stated �ha.t is the intent of the commercial distriet, which is a
subset. Mr. Gentile commented tb.e G2 District also permits a PCD, which
is the way residential comes into that mix. He stated that is the only way a
developer can put residential in a C 2 District.
Council Niember Paterno stated that is correct, but felt the percentages
could be switched around to make it 96% eommercial and 4% residential.
Mr. Gentiie agreed that could be done by a deveioper, if he felt that was
the market for tb.at area. He noted by putting in more commercial the
Village would have more impact with tr�a �erVi IagealreadY has a og
commercia1 azeas along U.S. One. He
of shopping centers that have a tremendous amount of vacant space.
Council Member Paterno asked Mr. Gentile his opinion on the intent of
the commercial district. Mr. Gentile stated the intent of the commercial
district is to provide commercial services to that area. He felt the Village
in the past set that district up to a11ow for a mix, because they knew it had
to be fle�ble enough for the Village to handle whatever mazket comes
along for that area. He noted that was bas e alWe the i wh an�d� � g�

Mr. Oliver stated from a planning and azchitectural standpoint the reasons
that the Village has a Planned Commercial District (P az and
Residential District (PRD) is to be able to vote differen iece of
planning solutions to the properties. He indicated this parricular p
prapert} has very narrow frontage. He felt if the pieces that have the
commercial pxoperties closest to the raad, are the more succ�ssful ones.
He stated if the commercial goes deep, the Person in�the °ery back corner
generally has a tough time. He noted this is very much true in any city. He
Stated i�n the analysis of Casa Del Sol, a different project, a diffe�ent time,
and different client, the developer had analYz�d �� Project and felt the
mast appropriate response to his site was a 3-story townhouse project. He
stated this deveZoper after a great length of time, and a Iot of analysis feels
that this �roject can be most successful, by insertinS the residential
component. He stated it would not be Possible to put all this comme�ex�
and have way back away fiom U.S. One. He stated the aPplicant is askiug
for a special exception, so that theY can co�e back to Council in detail to
� do the site plan very soon. He noted they do not think that it is
inagpropriately placed. Mr- Oliver stated if Council does not want the
towers. they would take them off. He stated tlieY az� �quesririg Council's
approval to move forwazd. He indicated the Prol�rt3' ��n vacant for
quite some time doing no one any good from an ownershiP standgoint or a
ta.�c stand�oint. �
Vice Mayor Watkins stated she knows the applicant has been working on
this project for a very long time, and she has tried her best to go through
the code, and the backup materials that were provided• She stated she has
lived in the Village for 28 yeazs, and understands bow it is really a great
place to live. She commented the residents here aze very praud of it, and
t�iey have chasen to live here. Vice Mayor Watkins felt Tequesta would
never support major cammercial, and that the Village does not have the
population that can support it. 5he stated a week does not go by that
someone asks t hat a Tazge t, or w h a. t e v e r c o m e t o t he Vitl a ge. She felt no
big store like that is viable here �'rom the impact. on them fmancially, so
she suggested it was important that the Village have enough businesses
and professional offices here to support the residents and their immediate
needs. She reiterated she personally liked the reside h�mPon � m�
She sta.ted she'would never want to see a 12-story p j
units. She sta.ted she did want to see a commercial: component that is going
to be open to the public, so she supports thaz. She felt Council needed to
look at the Village as a whole, and this was going to be at the north end,
and not central to downtown, and also next to another residential project;
she felt this would be gaod for the Village and the people who Iive there
are going to frequent the shops arou�d �em, and that she personallY
supported it.

Council Member Paterno passed azound some pictures he took from the
Villag,e Manager's office of the elevations from his office. He mentioned
he noticed the church steeple _ and how high it is, so that everyone, �
including the Council will xealize how faz this project will stick up in the j
horizon. He reviewed. the pictures, and indicated he had concerns fdr the
residents that would be moving into Casa DeT Sol, that this building would
be aver them approximately 30 feet. He felt in the wintertime they would
never see the sun. He suggested Cotuxcil needed to look at the general
compatibiliry wit� the adjacent properties, and other properties in the
District. He commented there are na other residential properties such as
tlus on their site, not even close. He noted it was approximately 60%
higher then the residential next door, that was at SO feet. Council Member .
Genco commented she understood that the Casa Del SoI property next

time on the telephone regarding his take on the praject, and he told Mr.
Lewis if they stick with the code he would not have a problem.
Mr. Lewis stated in respanse to Council Member Paternds question, for
the record, what Council has before them is a completed Staff report that
was prepared by the Staff of the Village; it methodically goes through all
the criteria that applies to a PCD development. He stated the only question
that was raised in that report was as to the definition of a gazage versus a

Waterway, a� a purchase cost of a 1 /Z million a unit• Mr• Von Frank staterl
the gentleman had also been talking wi� �e PeOp�e �O� where Publix is

the potential development in the works.
Mr. Neal Jagoda, and Ms. Nicole Jagoda, residents of Jupiter Inlet Way,
Tequesta and the brokers involved with the Casa Del Sol project. Ms.
Jagoda. indicated they have been telling and keeping ths residents abreast
of the proposed Atlantis praject, and that the 12 stories did not get
aPProved, and that something
could be approved up ta 5 staries per the
code. She indicated the residents did not seem to have an issue with that,
and that they seemed positive that theY "'�outd ha°e another residential

Attorney Hawkins stated if Council has a comment about the storage issue
in terms of the interpreta.tion of the code; he suggested they put it on the
table. He noted Council is adci�'essing � ned t come
fundamentally what the developer mtends. H
back for final site plan approval, but he is concerned about the fact that
Council is looking at a conceptual which is the premise for the request for
special exceprion. He stated they are relying upon that concept. Council
Member Paterno asked if the special exception was passed Council could
be locked into that cancept. Mr• Gentile stated the applieant would take
the storage out of the building at this point that it is not a critical part to
the project; he stated it was a benefit to the residents. He felt that would be
something that would be discussecl at the site plan approval, but they
would be glad to eliminate the storage from that area. Mr• Lewis stated to
leave a record, he would stimulate, ha�i�� �owledge that concept is in
the design, if Council chase at site plan review to take it out, to say t1� is
not compliant with code, he would not azgue that condition. He stated
Council could condition the site plan approval on.that, and he does not
think he would have any grounds to object.
Mr. Oliver stated what he would like to do is leave the storage, si�ce they
are at a canceptual level, but if it turns out that Council tells them t4 take it
out, or that they can not have them that he would nat want to give that up
right now because that is something that is imPortant to the residents
because it is like a garage and their area to store things• He apologized to
IVIr. Gentile for giving him the vvrong di�'�tion on the storage units. Mr•
Lewis noted the Village has a definition in the code af accessory uses• He
sta.ted it is typical that storage is an accessory
use within a garage. He felt
the definition was not absolute about that, but there is . flexibility to
interpret it that way. He stated he agreed with Mr• Oliver, but he would
ncrt raise a legal bar at the hearing on the site plan, and tell them that it was
his opinion that Council could not take out the storage, at that time.
Attorney Hawkins commented if Cauncil approves this request, at site
plan approval council could still have serious questions about this plan. He
stated Council is wondering what the apPlicant's position is going to be if
they are asking for some material changes. He commented the code is
frankly unclear. He mentioned he was sympathetic to Council's questions.
Ivir, Lewis commented in the abstract he could not give Mr. Hawkins
100% comfort on this, but if there is a public, health, safety or welfare
reason far Council demanding a condition of change at the site plan, if
there is a comp plan or land development regulation that they feei just is
not met, with the site plan they have the authority to direct that that be
removed or modified in some way from the site plan. He stressed that is
the black letter law, and he would not argue about it, since that is not the
kind of Iawyer he is.

IVir. Lewis in:dicated he could nQt �ell them actually what he would say
until he hears what the Council may want to do. Mr. Lewis commented he
toid Gouncil IVlember Paterno mentioned the issue o€ how they would treat
e He noted that was a relativeiy easy one, that if
the storage in the garag • it out, they would accept the
the site plan were conditioned on them taking
condition, and take it out. He stated that is as clear and definite as he can
be.
Mayar HumpaSe asked if he voted no, would he have to give a reason. Mr.
Lewis responded in the affirmative. Mayor Humpage stated if he was
going to vote no, he was �oing to use #he criteria under Section 78-363,
Item 10 General Compatibility with the adjacent properties, and other
properties in the area. He stated when he look�d at the applicants
etevations, the mean section/middle of the roof a�d� be center of ther �
the residents would see a spire that is 14 feet abo
and knowing they do not read a11 the little stipulations, they see the
building with the elevation ehange in the land. He stated the elevations
here are a concern him• He �ndicated he wauld not want a flat top building>
but l� feet to the top of the spire is still 14 feet to the top_ of the spire, and
if they are nat going to count el�vator rooms or shafts� �� lays out to the
letter of the law. He stated the residents do not have the lettex of the law,
and are common sense peoPle and just want a nice building that does not
stick up. He cammented he takes exception to these elevations. He stated
he does not want a flat roof, and does not want this building coming out of
the ground in Tequesta like a voleano.
Mr. 4liver commented he felt it would then be incumbent upon them,
when they come back for this, should they obtain approval for ttus tonight
to come back to this Council with sufficient graphics and thought given to
their comments. He commented what they have be�e what project
component of the presentation to Council to sho
looks like. He stated he hears the comments and understa.nds them.
Attorney Hawkins asked if the applicant was taking into account the
Mayor's comment with regard ta revising their plan to address his
concerns. Mr. Oliver responded in the affiimative. Mayor Humpage
commented he would like to hee �S P��e 1 d ues� and C o 1 a M�e�mber
work they have done, bu
Paterno has some issues with the storage. He commented he has a problem
with the height. Nir. Oliver stated the benefit �o h for the�first time in a

group session, what those concerns are. He felt it was incumbent upon him
as part of the design team, to come back to Council with sufficient
information to where they understand and react to their concerns, and
show more of what the project is going to took like. Council Member
Paterno stated he also had the same concern about height, in reference to
the surrounding properties.

judicial hearing for the Special Exception.
Council Member Genco questioned whether Council has made their
comments, under (f). Attorney Hawkins noted Council has not made their
comments.
Council Member Genco indicated she did not have an _ issue with the
parapets, but believes the code allows an exceprion for them. She stated
she does have an issue wi#h the fact that she is not surE a 5 story building

it is her belief that ttie Village super al� �� �� and o S rdinances

follow the code whether she likes the development, or whether she does
not like the development. She mentioned she felt the development is well
thought out, and that a residentiaUcommercial combination wauld suit that
site very well. She stated she did not think it would meet It�m 7 under 78-
362 criteria. She asked the Village �lerk to take a look through the
minutes, because she b�elieves that Couaeil repealed them at some point
and time, when Mr. Newell was here, and :when the Council adopted it.
She stressed if she �ould get clarification on that she might change her
mi.nd. She stated right now she is going to follow what the� code states.
Council Member Paterno iudicated he wouid agree with Council Member
Genco on °her items, and it . could potentially be a good thing for the
Village. He suggested there should be some changes, that it does not meet
Item 10 or Item 11. He commented at the same time he is not sure it meets
the purpose of C-2 area. He noted it is suppose to be a unique place, and at
the same time it reminds him of a hotel with domes, and his conceptual
ideas aze a little bit different for the Villag�. He stated he is going to do
what is in the best in.terest of everyone, the Village, and the future of
Tequesta.
Vice Mayor Watkins felt it was unfortunate that it is not clear as far as
height, but that it is in the site schedule requirements is it 5 stories/'70 feet,
She noted that would need to be researched. She commented she is very
appreciative of the fact that the appli�e code. She t that alot o wo k

had been done on the part of the applicant, and caneessions were made,
and they have the commercial component. 5he feit it would be an asset to

felt Council Member Genco brings up a valid point and it seems to be a
major concern. He commented a lot of work has done into this project, and
there aze only four Council Members oa Council, so the applicant will

Mayor Humpage stated however, another option to consider is to defer
until Council cotild have clarification on a couple of questions. He nate�i if
the applicaut goes for a vate, and the vote goes negativa, they have to wait
a year. Mr. Lewis indicated that is why he was standing back up to say
that he would rather than having the necessity to go through the appellate
process; he felt the applicant could not tolerate another year af this.
Mr, Lewis pointed out in his mind it is far mo�e preferable to defer this
and at least get clarification of the code. He commented he was certainly
willing to. do that until the next Village Councii Meeting t4 trY and make
sense of this code. Mayor Humpage asked if it �vas his understanding that
if Council defers this, that the applicant understands basicallY if`theY move
on to site plan review; Wbere Council is at and the issues they have based
on the project itself. He felt the Vivage needed to get to the bottom of

these issues need to be ironed out regazding the code, and come back an

� Ivir. Lewis commented the only addition ttu�t he would G�nco '��S correct,
be to suggest at an ear1Y Pomt, �t if Council Member
and it rules that way that he hoped Council would consider an amendment
to the code, to conect what is there so they could move forwazd. Council
Member Genco agreed that is an option ta consider, and that is one of the
reasons the Village was consi�dering a moratorium. Mayor Humpage
clarified the Zoning-in-Process. Council Member Genco agreed, and she
apologized that she had not read every paragraPh in t�e code sections until
the item was to come before Council for a vote. She commented she was
surprised that the Attorney's did nat put that on the ta.ble and research it,
and clarify it. �vlr. Lewis noted he could � aware of what was the e�, and
that he did read it ail, and he was complete y
that he was sorry he was not persuasive enough to convince Gouncil. He
stated he is exactly satisfied that he is right with his interPretation of the

Lewis commented he was certainly willing to defer this item for a month,
to try and straighten this out. Mayor Humpage asked if it would be the
applicants desire to defer this for a month.
Attorney Hawkins stated Council needed to make a motion, and have a

Council Member Genco felt the biggest issue was the parking for that
azea. She noted it was terrible at this point. Mr. O'Callahan stated there
was ample pazking there now, and at, night the Banlc of America will be
closed: He stated it is a shazed pazking lot. Mayor Humpage asked if they
had a shared pazking agreement. Mr. O' Callahan responded in the

during the day. Mr. O'Callahan inciicated the club would be open during
the day, and felt the pa�king would be ample. He �ated the building was
designed to handle the parking. Council M�ember Q�enco pointed out the
building was designed for an apartment, not for a club, which means more
people. She asked if that information was submitted. Mayor Humpage
indicateti it was in the P&Z Board remarks. Cauncil Member Genco
commented the applicant has to do a parking calculat�on of the occupancy
versvs the use. Mr. O'Ca.11ahan felt th�y had submitted with th�ir paeket of

received was the Planning and Zoning Board Minutes, and there were a lot

minutes. Mr. O'Callahan indicated the architeet that designed this
proposed space was the same architect that designed the entire building,
and the a3ctual deveiopment there. He inclicated he would have to get that
in€ormatian. He felt the parking would handle the amaunt of people that
� were going to be in the 7Vlembers Club. Vice Mayor Watkins painted out
the parking da.ta under Tab 13. Mayor Humpage indicated the site data -
was included in the backup materials. Council Member Genco stated this
information was from the original apPlication, and does not address this
use. She noted the applicant would ha.ve to aznend it when he changed the
use.
Council Member Paterno indicated they got a special exception originally
for this, for the pazking, so they would have to come back to Council if
they changed the use from the original layout. �illage Manager Couzzo
agreed there should be a parking calculation on the new use. He felt the
data; was important for Council to consider and suggested: 1) Council
could table the item for future consideration; or 2} if Council made an
affirmative condition that upon that Stat� review the parking data was
� compliant.
Council Member Genco asked if all the space was rented with the
exception of the apaztment. Mr. O'Callahan stated he did not know.
Council Member Genco stated that would be other auswer Council would
need to have. Mr. O' Callahan noted JMZ owns the apartment. Council

receive the monies last yeaz from FEMA. Village Manager Couzzo noted
it had. come in faster than that, and that it probably taak 7 months to get
tfie entire amount. Councii Member Paterno asked what the estimated time
was this year to receive the monies. Assistant Manager Garlo stated it
would depend to some extend on the project. He indicated $57,000.00

projects require that the work actually b� done at the time that the monies
aze received, so it is driven by the work. He noted the Village was just

Board of Patm Beach County, District 1 regarding Jupiter Elementary
School preservation. She pointed out the old part `of the school building is .
historic, and she can not believe that they may #ear it down. She felt by
them redoing it, it could be utiiized again. Mayor H�mpage indicated it
was going�to cost $4 million dollars. Vice Mayor Watkins commented she
went and spoke at the Construction Oversight Review Committee meeting
this morning, `and the facilities coordinator stated they had never used the
verbiage that they were going to demtilish the building. She stated what he
said was two proposals were on the table: I) to totally renovate it, at $7
million plus; and 2) do nothing with the old building, but build a new
building adjacent to it. She commented at the meeting if they leave the old
building stand idle, that eventually it would be demolished because it
would deeay. She felt it was a building worth saving. She stated this
would be on the School Boazd's agenda November 22, 2005, in which she
would nat be able to attend. Mayor Humpage noted there was also a

Mayor Humpage noted there were two Wo p Council's oals and
Village Manager Couzzo commented. the u�coming S

boats, and golf carts. Couticil Member Genco suggested the workshap
regarding boats cduld be done jointly with Pla.nning and Zoning Advisory
Board. Mayor Humpage noted Council also has issues with golf carts.
Village Man�ger Couzzo suggested doing the boats and golf carts as one
workshop. Council Member Genco felt it would be bettei' to do those two
issues sepazately, but suggested doing them jointly in approaching the
subject with the Planning and Zoning Board. Council Member Paterno
indicated if Council does a workshop with P&Z Board would the public
have input. Mayor Humpage noted a workshop usuallY does not a11ow
public comment, but in a situation like this they probably need to be
brought into the loop. Council Member Patemo asked if P&Z should do
their part, and move it on to Council.
