Chief Weinand, Acting Community Development Director explained the three waivers
associated with the special exception; sign, fence height requirement and the north fence.
Council Member Brennan felt that the fence, belonging to the Village, on the north side of the
proposed facility, would be sufficient in the means of fencing as she did not feel two fences
accomplished anything. She then suggested the applicant double the landscape on their side,
but, kept spacing in mind in regards to maintenance. Council Member Brennan felt the Village
should place a wall around the water plant for extra security. Manager Couzzo agreed that
double fencing was redundant and the double landscaping would add a buffer. He stated the
security at the plant was a separate issue. Mayor Paterno agreed and proposed a five foot
space be specified on the plan.
Shaun Gallagher, GMH Representative stated they were in agreement with Council's requests
regarding elimination of the second fence and the addition of double landscaping. Mr. Parker,
Village of Tequesta Landscape Consultant, also agreed that the landscaping would be
sufficient if increased and two fences were unneeded. Manager Couzzo questioned if GMH
and Mr. Parker would be in agreement to work together on the landscape design. It was
agreed by both parties.
Consensus of Council was to grant a waiver on doubling the landscape in lieu of doubling the
fencing on the north side.
Mayor Paterno clarified the second waiver referenced fence height on the remaining three
sides (west, east and south). He noted that the fence heights varied from five foot four inches
to six foot and Village code required fence heights to be six feet. He stated to increase the
existing fencing would be a considerable cost because of the elaborate design and considered
it pointless. Mayor Paterno felt the requested thicker landscaping would block the view of the
fence and would be sufficient.
Consensus of Council was to grant the waiver regarding the existing fence height to remain as
is.
Chief Weinand, Acting Community Development Director, explained that the third waiver
regarding the size of the existing sign. He noted it was regulated by residential zoning code,
but way under the acceptable size for commercial. Mayor Paterno suggested the existing sign
was already there and only needed new lettering and supported allowing the waiver. Council
Member Humpage mentioned his own investigation on the surrounding signs, and that the sign
in question was the smallest of the four monument signs he had measured. He pointed out that
all were out of compliance. He suggested the existing sign was more than appropriate and
harmonious with the area and offered his approval.
Shaun Gallagher clarified that letters would be placed on both sides.
Mayor Paterno suggested that a special condition be placed on GMH to be responsible to add
landscaping in the case that landscaping did not get approved by the county. He also reported
Minutes — Regular Council Meeting 5/12/11
Page 9
that GMH had committed, in writing, to $25,000 towards a LPR (License Plate Recognition)
Camera near Old Dixie which the Village would monitor.
Consensus of Council was to grant the waiver regarding the monument sign.
Mayor Paterno opened the hearing to the public for comment. There being none the public
hearing was closed.
MOTION: Council Member Brennan moved approval to grant SE 02 -11 with the following
conditions: Waiver One - allowing the existing north fence to serve as the fence per code
requiring the applicant (GMH) to install double landscaping within the required code, and
mandating five feet off the existing fence to allow for maintenance, GMH will cooperate with
the Village of Tequesta (VOT) landscaping consultant in creating the landscaping, Waiver Two
- allow the existing fence to remain at current height however, fence will be completely
landscaped to the VOT landscape code and approval. Waiver Three, allow the exiting
monument sign to be used and code compliant letters be placed on both sides, Special Use
Condition One - should approval from county be denied GMH would be required to landscape
and maintain the Dixie Highway right of way, Special Use Condition Two - prohibiting
subleasing; seconded by Council Member Humpage; motion carried unanimously 5-0.
20. Ordinance 8 -11, First Reading Amending the Village Code of Ordinances at Chapter
62 Planning and Development. Article Il. Local Planning Agency. By Amending Sec. 62-
32 to Designate the Planning and Zoning Advisory Board as the Local Planning Agency
Attorney Keith Davis read Ordinance 8 -11 title into the record.
Manager Couzzo briefly explained the item. Council Member Humpage voiced his concern
with the Planning & Zoning (P &Z) Board denying items. Manager Couzzo responded that P &Z
could only make recommendations to Council. Council Member Humpage desired a guarantee
that items would fall in a timely manner in order to be heard on the next Council agenda.
Chief Weinand, Acting Community Development Director indicated that it was difficult to get
agenda packets to Council within a week and suggested moving the P&Z meeting. Manager
Couzzo noted that the items that would be seen by the P&Z were not emergency items,
therefore; would not be pressing. Attorney Davis pointed out that the majority of items which
went through P&Z were Village not applicant initiated. Mayor Paterno suggested
strengthening the code as he felt applicants should push for going over and above and not the
minimum of the code. Council Member Turnquest pointed out that, that type of change would
create higher minimums.
Mayor Paterno opened the hearing to the public for comment. There being none the public
hearing was closed.
