IV. New Business
a) Proposed Ordinance Providing Vegetation Standards for Prozimity to
Electric Facilities
Boazd Member Cook referred to a memo provided in the packets which stated
_ draft language had been designed to address previous concerns, and asked if
this board had expressed previous concerns. Chair Schauer responded that
memo was addressed to the Mayor and Council, and referred to their previous
concerns; no concerns had been expressed by this board. Village Clerk
Carlisle explained the Village Council ha.d requested that at the time the
Planning and Zoning Board received this package that it also be provided to
Council for review; therefore, it had also been pXOVided to them as an FYI.
Assistant Village Manager Garlo shared the history of the ordinance, advising
that at some point the Village Council had requested a presentation from FPL
� regarding power lines and how to keep from losing power during storms. Mr.
Gazlo explained that one of the things discussed at that time had been the
possibility of adopting an ordinance that would govern the proximity of trees
to power lines, and FPL had indicated they were in the process of formulating
a model policy. Mr. Garlo explained that what FPL had done was to provide
language to municipalities from their program "Plant the Right Trees in the
Right Place", which the municipalities had attempted to place into their
ordinances, and that langua.ge was what had been used in the ordinance
presented tonight.
Chair Schauer stated that she was President of the Tequesta. Pines
Homeowners Association, and advised that when they had done their
landscaping plan they had installed curbs and gutters so that their trees could
be closer to the street and farther from the power lines. Chair Schauer asked
how residents would be notified that their vegetation was a problem so that
they could be provided witth sufficient time to trim before a storm, noting that
information could be placed in the Village newsletter or they could be notified
by Code Enforcement. Community Development Director Harding, whose
department included Code Enforcement, explained that this ordinance would
not be difficult to regulate because it did not deal with any existing trees, but
basically covered only new planting, which in the planning stages would be
supervised in plan review. Replanting, which would not come through a
review, .would be caught through any type of advertising that could be done to
educate the public or by the Code Enforcement Officer, who was driving

through the Village daily. Ms. Harding commented a normal oreO an�as seen
give up to 30 days for complianc�—a reasonable time. If som
planting a tree, reasonable would be to stop immediately and provide the
�illage with a design indicating its location. Also, a reasonable time could be
time to call a landscaper to move the tree at the Village's discretion. Ms.
Harding advised that what was reasonable depended on the circumstances for
what was currently going into the ground, and those were the conditions that �
would be picked up on by Code Enforcement. �� bl c could be asked to
there were many trees that needed tnmmmg, and p
trim as good neighbors. Vice Chair Okun suggested that the Village put
together a flyer with information on replacing downed trees, which could be
provided to a11 landscaping companies, nurseries, Home Depot, and other
similar businesses. This flyer could also be used when residents were notified
th�t there were problems with their vegetation. Chair Schauer noted there
were more trees blown down in Hurricane Wilma than in Frances or Jeanne,
and although some did not fall neaz power lines it was unknown what might
happen in the future. Ms. Harding stated she believed the power company did
do some pruning and the Village probably could arrange something with them
concurrently with adoption of this ordinance, such as them going around with
the Village and providing help with pruning, and the Village could continue to
advise the public what kind of pruning they needed to do. Ms. Harding agreed
. that the Village newsletter would be a good way to inform the public. Chair
Schauer expressed her opinion that �e bute a the annual meetmg of her

lines.
Vice Chair Okun noted that the newsletter was an efFective tool and suggested
an insert with a big headine stating: If your property has power lines adjacent
to it, read this. Boazd Member Coole suggested that FPL run the notices
because they were expensive. Chair Schauer requested 220 notices to use as
inserts in her homeowner association's newsletter. Board Member Wilder
commented he had been at the Village 1 o�u a� ao tan ed� at o pragram in
presentation, and recalled that FPL had p
the whole area they served, whether or not the Village adopted an ordinance.
Mr. Garlo advised that he was not aware whether they were presently
conducting such a program. Board Member Cook indicated many of the
power pales that snapped had been old. Chair Schauer expressed amazement
that concrete poles had fallen, resulting in a whole section of Military Trail
being closed. Boa.rd Member Cook commented people needed to talk to their
congressmen.

MOTION: Board Member Cook moved to recommend to Village Council approval of

facilities; seconded by Board Member Wilder; motion passed 4-0.
V. Communications from Citizens
Russell von Frank, 485 Dover Road, noted that trees were mentioned in code
sections 30-32, 33, 30-62, and 30-91, but power lines were not, �vhich he felt
should also be addressed. Mr. von Frank questioned why certa.in trees that were
not accepted in the State of Florida were not inctuded in zoning districts R-1 and
RIA, but were mentioned in other zoning districts. Chair Schauer responded that
the new Community Development Director would look into that and report to the
boazd. Mr. Von Frank commented that the ordinance that covered golf carts did
not address go-karts, mopeds, scooters, tricycles, bikes, other mechanized
vehicles, etc. Mr. Garlo responded that this was dictated by State sta.tute, which
stated that golf carts were illegal but provided a provision to make them legal,
although that had never been done in Tequesta. However, the practice had been
to a11ow golf carts, with discretion as to enforcement. The issue had come up
because some children in the Country Club had operated golf carts recklessly,
which was a public safety issue. The current understanding was that residents
would be educated as to the reality that golf carts were not legal to operate at all,
with enforcement action using discretion as needed. Mr. Garlo indicated that the
Village would probably continue to pursue whether they would like to legalize
golf carts. Mr. Von Frank indicated there was also a problem with scooters on the
road, and he had brought this up because of concern with any type of motorized
vehicle. Chair Schauer reported that a neighbor's 4-ye�r-old child rode his mini-
hummer in the street in her cul-de-sac, and that the Tequesta Pines newsletters
had been used to ask parents to take responsibility for the welfare and safety of
their child. Board Member Wilder stated he believed an ordinance should be
added to the code book so that it could be enforced. Chair Schauer noted another
neighbor's child was always on the �idewalk in a motorized velucle, and that was
a parental responsibility. Board Member Wilder asked if the Police Chief could
include scooters in an ordinance; Mr. Gazlo advised he was not awaze that the
Chief was working on such an ordinance but that the Chief had discussed the
Staiute and indicated it would be the Village Coun.cil's decision whether ta
legalize golf carts. Vice Chair Okun expressed concem that tbe Police
Department could be in a precarious position because they were responsible not
only to the Village but also to the State to enforce ordinances, and if someone had
a serious injury there would be very innovative attorneys who would pull things
out, and police officers could be handcuffed to a very damaging policy. Mr•
Garlo responded the Statutes governed, agreed with Mr. Okun's comments, and
advised it was very difficult for a police officer who had been told not to allow

14-year-olds to operate golf carts to look the other way if a person with golf clubs
passed by. Boazd Member Cook commented the kids would not have a license
but adults would. Chair Schauer asked if other communities had this problem;
Ms. Hazding responded she had not worked in a community that had golf carts,
but they were rarely allowed on roads and usually were restricted to the golf
course and trails leading to the golf course. Vice Chair Okun commented that by
selling homes with space intended for golf carts in the 2-1/2 car garages, the
Village was acknowledging they knew there would be golf carts going between
the home and the golf course. Mr. Garlo agreed, and expressed his opinion the
Village needed to decide on control—age requirements, no operation after dusk,
etc., or not, and if they did not do so then they had to expect that the police would
see these as violations. Alternate Board member Blas� asked if he would be
liable if he hit a motorized scooter driving in the middle of Beach Road, to which
Mr. Garlo responded the sta.tute only included gas-operated scooters and mopeds,
but did not cover electric ones. Board member von Frank pointed out there were
motorized vehicles for handicapped persons; Chair Schauer commented that was a
wheel chair. Chair Schauer commented she knew plenty of people who had
motorized wheelchairs, and recalled that years ago a woman in a motarized
wheelchair was hit by a car on U.S. One. She had tried to sue, but she had been in
the wrong. Vice Chair Okun suggested the board make a recommendation to
bring this forward. Chair Schauer recommended looking at wha.t other golf cart
communities within the State of Florida were doing. Board member Cook
commented that was the Council's decision. Chair Schauer noted when the
Council read the minutes she was sure she would get a comment. from somebody.
Boazd member von Frank stated that it was part of the Planning and Zoning
Board's obligation to present this matter to the Village Council.
MOTION:
Yice Chair Okun moved to make a recommendation to Village Council to request
that they look into scooters, motorized vehicles, golf carts, etc; seconded by
Board member Wilder; motion carried by unanimous S-0 vote.
VI. ANY OTHER MATTERS
Board member Wilder reported he had attended the Village Council meeting last
month, and they had suggested holding a joint meeting with the Planning and
Zoning Boazd so both would be on the same page. They had seemed concerned
that the Planning and Zoning Board was not on the same page as they were. An
example was the Planning and Zoning Board had approved the Atlantis project
because it complied with a11 the zoning. The Village Council had tabled it
because they were unsure if the zoning allowed a 5-story or 70-foot building.
Chair Schauer advised she had received a phone call from a Council member after
the last Council meeting in regard to that, and she had responded that if the
Council had read the minutes of the Planning and Zoning meeting to see how the
t;9

Minutes - Planning and Zoning Advisory Board Meeting

Page 6
Director of Planning and Zoning and the Board had gone over the approval of the
Atlantis project, they would have seen that P&Z's number one concern had been
the underground pazking versus the elevation, which was lacking in the code, but
Atlantis was presently in compliance with the code. Vice Chair Okun noted the
board had reviewed that project as a model, which Chair Schauer confirmed.
Chair Schauer had indicated she had no objection to meeting with the Council to
go over that, but had been advised by the Village Clerk that Council had a fu11
plate during January, and requested the Community Development Dire Board rk
with the Village Manager to schedule a joint workshop for February.
member Wilder advised that Council had ta.bled the Atlantis matter and referred it
to the attorney to check the language of the building code to make sure the
language of 5 stories and 70 feet were allowed. Mr. Wilder commented he
thought this boazd had gone over that thoroughly. Chair Schauer agreed, stating
this was a prime example of her previous statements regarding having one
attorney for an advisory board and another attorney for the Village Council, and if
there were one attorney there would be one direction. Since the Village Council.
did not wish to have a single attomey, this problem would probably continue in
different areas. Chair Schauer commented she had promised the Council member
that she would bring up the Atlantis matter.
Mr. Wilder commented this boazd had recommended approval of a private club
on the third story, and reported the Village Council had tabled that also, because
they wanted to check the pazking. Chair Schauer sta.ted Planning and Zoning had
addressed the pazking. Mr. Wilder agreed, commenting there had been mutual
parking with the bank.
Board member Wilder reported that a couple of ineetings ago, Village Council
h a d a p p r o v e d t h e Baldinds ex pansion, and one of the Council members had
objected to a parking space that wasn't quite as accessible as he thought it should
be. Mr. Wilder noted that Plannin� and Zoning had addressed that 1 S spaces
were required, and this was the 19 . At the Council meeting, Mr. Baldino had
offered to replace the parking space with a planter, but Council had approved it.
Mr. Wilder noted from these examples it appeared Council and Planning and
Zoning were not on the same page. Chair Schauer commented when she had been
on the Village Council, Board member Cook had been on the Community
Appearance Board. Chair Schauer reported she had always looked at what the
CAB had done, which gave her a different perspective when sitting on the
Council, and Council had sometimes added more trees or moved some azound.
Chair Schauer commented that Planning and Zoning was an advisory boazd to the
Village Council and the Council rMade the final decision, and there would be
situations where the board would not agree with Council members on their
decisions. One of the Council members had been upset over Baldino's
landscaping and parking, and the owner had con o��e Counc 1 member tha f they
: Chair Schauer advised that she had commented

had read the Planning and Zoning minutes, they would have known that Mrs.
Cook had requested additional trees to make.it look nicer, and the applicant had
agreed, and had been very accommodating. Board member Cook commented
Council might have reasons that Pla.nning and Zoning did not know about. Boazd
member Wilder commented not the reasons they said at the meeting-the parking
situation for the club—which P&Z had fully addressed, and that they were not
sure whether a 5-story building was allowed under the code. Vice Chair Okun
commented that the point was Planning and Zoning had been compromised after
they had judiciously reviewed it, and it was if P&Z had not acted responsibly.
Chair Schauer commented it was not.the first time—they had changed the
landscaping on Old Dixie Highway and Tequesta. Drive after Planning and Zoning
had reviewed it, a.nd Mr. Wilder had been very upset over that, but that was their
prerogative and why they were elected officials and Planning and Zoning was just
an advisory board. Chair Schauer asked Board member Wilder not to take it
� personally.
Betty Nagy, Shay Place, commented she believed one of the reasons the private
club had been tabled was it was going to be open during the day. Chair Schauer
indicated P&Z had not been told that. Board member Cook commented that was
a good reason to table it. Board member Wilder advised Council had asked the
applicant if he would be open during the day and he had responded there was a
good possibility there could be a circuxnstance where they could be open during
the day. Chair Schauer commented this board had thought it would just be open
for dinner, etc., so this changed the whole sense, and it had been misrepresented
to Planning and Zoning, and that would be Council's problem.
Boazd member von Frank asked when Planning & Zoning reviewed Atlantis if
they had mentioned a flat roof or parapet. Chair Schauer stated she did not
remember. Mr. Von Frank advised that_ they now claimed that a flat roof was no
problem; however, they wanted to put in four parapets that were not considered
roof. Betty Nagy commented the parapets looked like umbrellas. Chair Schauer
commented sometimes people changed things after it left. Planning and Zoning,
which was a problem. Mr. Wilder advised the 5-story building ended at the flat
roof but they had added two domes to dress it up, and the code said the 70' height
was the center line of any pitched roo� and this center line of what they had was
lower than 70 feet. Chair Schauer advised you did not count the underground
pazking. T'his was a good model but there were other shopping areas in the future
that might be sold to someone who wanted to develop residential, and they might
do exactly what Atlantis was doing, so this was something that this project had
brought forward, and as noted in the minutes, underground parking and height
was something that needed to be addressed in the future. An applicant could raise
the elevation #o have underground pat�king, and it would still meet the code. Chair
Schauer noted the new development ne�ct to Tequesta Pines, Riverside Oaks, had
raised the elevation of the homes, and now she was having a problem with the

addressing this with gasoline stations. Ms. Harding indicated it might become
state law, and she did not feel it would be appropriate to contact gasoline stations
at this time. She felt the public understood that people had to have generators,
and their use would be regulated under the building code as to how faz from
windows they must be and the storage of gasoline, etc. Vice Chair 4kun
commented the previous Community Development Director had said that in an
� ernergency situation all of that was ignored because it was an emergency
situation, but there was no footprint to recognize an emergency situation. Ms.
Harding advised it would be up to the Village Council to consider if they wanted
to do anything beyond whaf the State was considering now; if they wanted to
consider an ordinance. Chair Schauer suggested this might be addressed with the
Village Council during the joint meeting. Vice Chair Okun commented the State
was just looking at gasoline facilities—not food mazkets. Boazd member Wilder
commented the county was looking at requiring generators for gas stations, anc�
the Village could piggyback their ordinance. Chair Schauer asked the Village
Clerk to make a note of those two issues to be discussed at the joint meeting.
Betty Nagy commented for someone was on dialysis and was diabetic there had
been a problem getting ice, and there were three people on her street who went
out and bought a generator, but they shut it off at 10 p.m. Chair Schauer
commented she was very considerate, and others were not so considerate. Vice
Chair Okun commented as the population aged there would be more and more
instances where such things became high priority and it should be addressed now
so that one did not have to be running around laoking for such thiugs as ice, etc.
Mrs. Nagy commented they shut off their refrigerator for an hour, and it was not
necessary to light up the whole house.
Chair Schauer asked Mr. Garlo and Community Development Director Harding
the status of the boat ordinance, and reported a gentleman had been there before
the meeting who wanted to discuss that and pickup trucks. Mr. Gazlo reported
there was a draft ordinance that had been prepared by the previous Community
Development Director to address concerns regarding parking of boats, and it was
to be expanded to make it a more comprehensive parking ordinance of boats
before presentation to Council. Vice Chair Okun advised that it had been his
understanding that the boat ordinance had been tabled waiting for snowbirds to
arrive in order to receive more significant public input. Mr. Garlo indicated he
was unsure of the present status, but he knew there had been talk of forming a
comrnittee to bring it to the residents. Vice Chair Okun noted that at the last
meeting there had been a very proactive ordinance. Ms. Harding advised she had
read that ordinance, and there had been a lot of input through e-mails and letters,
but the ordinance at this point was unacceptable and needed to be rewritten. Vice
Chair Okun indicated he did not think it could be rewritten before the hearing.
Chair Schauer indicated at the meeting last September people had been present
and tonight a gentleman had come in and she had taken his name and phone

number, and the board had told those people they would work with them on a
draft amenable fo everyone and that would be the only ane mee n f in an effort o
to be held at a different time than the Plannmg and Zoni g g
work together and not to have a lot of angry people. Chair Schauer noted those
people needed to be contacted because they�e an and a police officer�be o

discuss these issues. Vice Chair Okun clarified that the board had pushed their ,

commented the boazd had told them this would be the only agenda item and they
would be willing to sit for several hours if necessary, and if they could not come
to a happy compromise in one evening, the boa�'d v�'as w�.11u�g t she would� on�

what the right boat ordinance was for the Village, that o
driving this was the height of the boat, and once an ordinance was passed the
residents had to comply. Vice Chair Okun indicated the major concern of non-
boat owners were they would have to live within the confines created for the
boaters. Chair Schauer commented if the board could get a lot of this done before
it went to Council it would make it easier for Council by PlanninS and 7�o�ung
acting as a buffer zone.

commented she did not remember if it was at the planning meeting or

and she had spoken to him outside to ask where he lived and to explain that

having attended meetings, it was her opinion thatt rather than having a hundred
people show up at a meeting it would be better to hold a meeting here or
somewhere else of the people who did not belong to homeowners associations,
and have ten people get up and give their opinion—instead of 100 people getting
up and repeating the same thing. Chair Schauer commented before there was any
dialog there would be rules and regulations, and she did not want something
repetitive. Vice Chair Okun cautioned the board must be extra careful beca.use
someone who felt very passionate about the issue would like to speak to give their
own little twist and should not be denied the opportunity to be heard, and he
would be glad to accommodate those who wanted to invest their time. Chair
Schauer commented they had promised they were willing to listen for several
hours, but she did not vvant to go past 11 p.m., but to have another meeting. Vice
Chair Okun commented it was important that Council realize Planning and
Zoning was going to take the heat and if they had certain things on their agenda
that they needed to shaze with Planning and Zoning, then sooner was better than
later.
Chair Schauer requested that Village Clerk Cazlisle explain to Board member
Reinwatd that according to the ordinance, boazd members were allowed to miss
only three (3) meetings in one year, and this was the second meeting he had
missed. �
Communiry Development Director Harding noted that she would look into
holding an extra hearing. Chair Schauer requested the attorney and a police
officer be present at the hearing.
Chair Schauer vvelcomed Community De.velopment Director Harding to the
Village.
