Councilmember Schauer asked, regarding the Village Manager's Report, page 6 item 2, "Water System Manaqer indicated sufficient riqht-of-�ay existed on Old Dizie Hiqh�ay for installation of FPL power poles east side of Old Dixie", if that subject matter was in fact an issue the Village Council had objected to two years ago. Mr. Bradford explained these poles were different from those to which the Council originally objected. This is a pole line which uses typical standard type poles of a standard height, running on the East side of Old Dixie to provide power over to the St. Jude�s Church/U.S. Highway One area. The ones the Council expressed concern about were on the west side of Old Dixie. Villaqe Council Maetinq Minutss April id, 1994 Pags 3 ------------------------------- Vice Mayor Burckart asked Fire Chief Weinand, regarding Item IX(H), if Tequesta might, in the future when development starts in Tequesta's downtown area, need fire stations, and therefore need to keep the subject truck. Chief Weinand explained the subject truck has seen better days, and does not fill the need for Tequesta's present type of operation. This truck would better serve a more rural community that would run perhaps ten calls per year. Councilmember Colliaqs moved to approve the Consent Aqenda Item V(I) (Village Manaqer�s Report), and Consent Agenda Item IR(H) as submitted. Councilmember Schauer seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for William E. Burckart - for Elizabeth A. Schauer - for Earl L. Collings - for Joseph N. Capretta - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. VI.

DBVELOPMB�tT MATTl3RS A) Consideration of Landscape waiver Request Pursuant to Ordinance No. 377, by the Tequesta Gardens Condomiaium Association, Inc. (Alec Cameroa, Presideat). Villaqe Council Mestinq Miautes April ld, 1994 Paqe 6 ------------------------------- Alec Cameron stated that the reasons for the Waiver Requegt were as follows: o Installation of the required hedges was juet not possible, since all boundary areas are asphalted to the property line; o There was not room available for the required ground cover. o Overhead power and telephone lines prohibit the installation of the required trees; o Due to the width of the parking lot, there exists diagonal parking (as opposed to head-in parking). It would be impossible to convert to head-in parking due to the lack of space; o There already exists a four-foot landscaped strip bordering each parking area, allowing no additional space for increased landscaping; Mr. Cameron stated that the Tequesta Gardens Condominium has some landscaping plans they would like to implement, but those plans are on hold until a Waiver Request is granted. Councilmember Collinqs moved to approve the Landscape Waiver �Request by the Tequesta Gardens Condominiwa Association as submitted. Councilmeaber Capretta seconded the motion. The vote on the motioa was: Ron T. Mackail - for � William E. Burckart - for Elizabeth A. Schauer - for Earl L. Collings - for Joseph N.

(Brett l�eia, ASI�A, Pro j ect Maaager, Gee � Jensoa). Village Council Meetiaq Minutes April 1�, 1994 Paq� 7 ------------------------------- In Brett Nein's absence, Village Clerk Joann Manganiello presented the Site Plan Review before the Village Council. She explained that on behalf of the Village of Tequesta and the Jupiter Tequesta Junior Citizens organization, a requeat for approval is made for Phase II of the Constitution Park Improvement Project. Landscaping and Gazebo approval has been received from the Community Appearance Board. Phase II addresses the construction of the major facilities for the Park: A sand pit volley ball court; a children's playground area; a basketball court; handball court; and the gazebo. There will be a heart trail with exercise stations. This phase will also include the addition of more trees. There will be sidewalk access to the Park from the Country Club area up through Seabrook Drive. The porous concrete parking lot.which was suggested by Vice Mayor Burckart was found not only to be too expensive ($23,000), it was determined by the engineers not to be the proper treatment for that particular parking lot; which has adequate drainage. Phase II allows for drainage and retention; also included will be some improvements to Dover Road to solve a standing water problem in that area. It is anticipated that construction will start some time between the end of June 1994 and the beginning of July 1994, with a completion date 120 days hence. Councilmember Schauer suggested that a three-point line be made available near the basketball hoop. In consideration of surrounding businesses and residences, there will be fencing put in place around the perimeter of the Park before major construction starts. Vice Mayor Surckart moved to approve the Application for Site Plan Review for Phase II of Constitution Park. Councilmember Schauer seconded the motion. The vote oa the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for William E. Burckart - for $lfzabeth A. Schauer - for $arl L. Collinqs - for Joseph N. Capretta - for the motion vas therefore passed and adopted. VillaQe Couacil Ksetinq Kinutes April 14, 1994 Page 8 ------------------------------- C) Consideration of Acceptance of Proposal of PMG Associates, Inc., of Deerfield Beach, FL., in the Amouat of $8,400 for a Financial Feasibilitp Study of the Proposed Christopher Village Foundation Tequesta Center Development Proposal and Villaqe of Tequesta Participation in the Same. (Staff Recommeads Approval). Village Manager Bradford explained that the Redevelopment Committee recommended the proposal from PMG Associates, to review and analyze the Christopher Village Foundation Master Plan Proposal, be brought before Council for their consideration and possible approval. The study done by PMG Associates will determine the viability of the Christopher Village Proposal. The study will be done in two phases: Phase I- will be a general analysis of the feasibility of the Project; Phase II - relates to the Developer's needs, looks at cost and cash flow analyses, and development of a pro forma for financial institutions. Councilmember Schauer asked the Village Attorney to explain to the Council/public why she must abstain from voting on any motion made in regard to the Christopher Village proposal. Attorney Randolph explained that the Florida Statutes, regarding voting conflicts, provide that no municipal official shall vote upon any measure which will enure to such official's private gain or which he/she knows would enure to the special private gain of a relative. Since Councilmember Shauer's husband is employed by the Project Engineers, she chooses to abstain from voting. Attorney Randolph felt the present subject was remote from the project itself, in that PMG Associates is an independent firm, separate from the Project Engineering firm, and therefore would not pose a legal conflict if voted on by Councilmember Schauer. Village Manager Bradford explained that PMG Associates will do a general market demand study for each element of the proposal, (i.e., one of the elements of the proposal being an Adult Congregate Living Facility (ACLF)), and give general capita�l and operatiag costs for euch, which will cause PMG Associates to be able to estimate whether this aspect of the � proposal will be a viable project for the Village of Tequesta. Villaqe Couacil Keetiaq Niaut�s April l�, 199` Page 10 ------------------------------- John Giba, a Tequesta citizen, felt another etudy was not necessary and that Mr. Benjamin needed to come forward with a concrete plan. Mr. Giba was also concerned because the Developer does not own the subject property and because monies for the development of the project were not coming from the Developer but from donations. Joseph Benjamin corrected Mr. Giba in that the funding of the Arts College were coming from donatione and that the Norton Foundation had put up $250,000 for initial funding e�enses. I%. NEW BUSINESS A) Resolution No. 13-93/94 - Authorizinq the Mayor to Execute a Certificate of Appreciation to the Owners of the Property Rnown as aallery Square North. (Staff Recommeads Approval). Mayor Mackail read into the Record the Certificate of Appreciation for Gallery Square North property owners and presented the same to Faye Schrecengost, representing the Lighthouse Gallery Board of Directors, and Muriel Manning. Attorney Randolph read Resolution No. 13-93/94 by Title: "A RESOLUTION OF THE VILI�AGB COUNCIL OF THE VII,LAGE OF T8QU8STA, PAI�i BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE CBRTIFICATB OF APPRECIATION TO THE O�tHBRS OF THS PROPBRTY RNO� AS GALLSRY SQUARE NORTH AND AUTHORIZIN(; TIiE MAYOR TO EXECiJ'rl3 THL SAMB ON BEHALF OF THB VILLAaB."

Villaqe Couacil Keetiaq Hinutes April 14, 199� Page 11 ------------------------------- B) Ordinaace - First Readinq - Ameading Chapter 11.5 Relating to Motor Vehicies and Traffic at Article II, Operation of Heavy Trucks, Section 11.5 - 13.1(b)(6), so as to Increase the Permit Fees. (Staff Recommends Approval). Attorney Randolph gave the First Reading of the above- referenced Ordinance by Title: "AN ORDINANCE OF TH� VILLAaE COUNCIL OF TIiE VILI+AaE OF T$QUESTA, PALM 88ACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTBR 11.5 RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLES AI�D TRAFFIC AT ARTICLE II, OPERATION OF HEAVY TRUCRS, SECTZON 11.5 - 13.1(b)(6) SO AS TO ZNCREASE THE P$RMIT FBSS; PROVIDI�t� FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF ORDINANCES IN COHFLICT; PRCVIDING FOR CODIFICATION; PROVIDINt3 AA SFFECTIVE DAT$." Village Manager Bradford e�lained that the Public Safety Committee recommended that the Ordinance be left as is, but that fees should be increased 50$ for daily, weekly, and monthly charges. The last increase was estimated to have veen in 1982. The Committee requested that the Village Manager look at the annual fee to determine the justification of increasing the annual fee in an amount greater than 50�. The annual permit fee was increased from $50 to $200, a 400$ increase, calculated and justified on annualized "spread" basis. Councilmember Collings felt the significanee of the Ordinance was meaningful and that the increases in fees are minimal. Bill Treacy, Country Club Drive resident, submitted to the ' Council a 10-point Resolution from a Committee of Country Club Drive Residents which held a meeting on April 12, 1994. One point noted was to thoroughly ban through-truck traffic on Country Club Drive. Mayor Mackail suggested that the Village Manager arrange for a Public Works Committee Meeting to review and diecuss the 10- point Resolution submitted by Mr. Treacy. Joan Marshall, Country Club Drive resident, stated that it is not the purveyor tr�cks which are-headed for Turtle Creek which pose the problem on Country Club Drive, but the construction trucks which are headed for Martin County. Villaqe Council Mestinq Miautes April id, 1994 Paqe lZ ------------------------------- Dr. Leqner, Country Club Drive resident, suggested that residenta of Country Club Drive take turns driving down Country Club Drive at 25 miles per hour which would do a great deal to slow the traffic on that roadway.

Burckart - for Elizabeth A. Schauer - for Earl L. Collinqs - for Joseph N. Capretta - for , the motion was therefore passed aad adopted. C) Ordinance - First Readinq - Amending Chapter 10 of the Code of Ordinances Relatinq to Health and Sanitation, Sy Creating a New Article VIII Relating to Compostinq. (Staff Recommends Approval). Mayor Mackail gave the First Reading of the above-referenced Ordinance: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAQE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAC�E OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA, AMENDINa CHAPTFat 10 OF THS COD$ OF ORDI�TANCES RELATING TO HEALTIi A�iD SARITATIOI�, BY CREA=ING A AEW ARTICLB VIII RSLATING TO C�IPOSTIHG; PROVIDING FOR T88 REGULATION OF COdKPOSTING; PROVIDI�G FOR PSNALTISS; PROVIDINQ FOR ADMINISTRATIVE FINSS; PROVIDING FOR SEV$RABILITY; PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF ORDINAHCgS IN CONFLICT; PROVIDINa FOR CODIFICATIOH; PROVIDIHt� AA BFFECTIVE DATE." Village Manager Bradford explained that the Solid Waste Authority (SWA) is in the process of promoting residential composting. From past experience, the Village has learned that there�is a need to regulate the location and size of composting activity. Compost bins should be of regulated size and materials for proper control, with consideration given to proximity to abutting properties . The Public Safety Committee recommended that the Village Council adopt the Ordinance and that the manufacturer' e name not appear on the bin diagrams of the Ordinance. The SWA, havinq reviewed the Ordinance, felt it was an excellent model for municipalities attemptinq to control residential compostinq. Village Council .

ANY OTHER MATTERS o Councilmember Schauer asked that an update on the roadway in Eastwinds Landing be given at the next Public Works Committee Meeting. Village Manager Bradford explained that the legal aspects of that issue are being pursued by the Village Attorney. Councilmember Schauer commended Lt. Steve Allison and Patrol Sergeant Robert Garlo for offering their ti.�e for the JASP program. Councilmember Schauer stated that some full-service communities held firefighter/policemen balls and queried as to whether Tequesta ought to follow such a route. o Councilmember Colliaqs suggested that a special day be slated for collection of hazardous waste materials in the Village. Village Clerk Manganiello stated she had approached the Solid Waste Authority regarding this issue and their position was they would prefer not to sponsor amnesty days. Mr. Collings urged that a way be found to arrange such a day. o Councilmember Capretta sugqested that the poiice department prepare a proposal regarding the cost and feasibility of having trained auxiliary police officers monitor Country Club Drive traffic each day from 6:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. to particularly pinpoint trucks and speeders, with the above program in effect for 30 days to study the impact. Village Council Heetinq Minutes April 14, 1994 Psqe 15 ------------------------------- o Villaqe Manaqer Bradford - ENCON Septic Taak Study. Village Manager Bradford stated he met with the Executive Director of ENCON, Richard Dent, who broached the subject of a meeting in 1993 between the Village and ENCON to discuss Tequesta's involvement with the Septic Tank Study. At that meeting, ENCON suggested that they would pay for the study but desired the Village to oversee and manage it . ENCON is now ready to proceed with its Septic Tank Study and needs a formal response from Tequesta as to what role, if any, the Village would want to have relative to the Septic Tank Study to be done in Tequesta. The Study is to determine if there is pollution and degradation in the Loxahatchee River, by virtue of septic tanks. ENCON feels the credibility of the study may be questioned if they conduct the entire study. They feel if Tequesta is involved with the Study, while ENCON pays for the Study, that the findings will be more credible. Councilmember Schauer felt ENCON was trying to "pass the buck" onto Tequesta. Councilmember Capretta felt Tequesta should become involved in the Study to ensure validity, Village Manager Bradford suggested that a committee of citizens be developed from the neighborhoods which are impacted in the study, caueing them to become directly involved in that which was affecting them. The Village Council agreed with this approach and also suggested�an engineer be included on the Committee. o Village Manaqer Bradford stated that during his conversation with the ENCON Director, the subject of the low pressure sewer eystem arose. ENCON applied for a permit to put the low pressure sewer systems in various places throughout Tequesta, including the Country Club peninsula area. The circumstances are such that SNCON had applied for their permit to do the low pressure system way in advance of the public unrest over the situation in 1993. In their permit, ENCON applied for all of those areas within Tequesta. ENCON has since voted not to proceed with implementinq low pressure sewer systems in Tequesta, but there appears in todays newspaper a Notice of Permit which includes Tequesta. If Tequesta was deleted from the permit, it would take another year to obtain the permit. Villaqs Council Meetiaq Minutes April 1�, 199a Pags 16 ------------------------------- Tequesta has filed for an extension of time to respond to the Notice of Permit and to submit a Petition for Administrative Hearing. The extension was granted to May 31, 1994, now presenting the opportunity for Tequesta to prepare the proper Petition to protect Tequesta's interests regarding the low pressure sewer system. ENCON is very disturbed by the fact that Tequesta filed for the time extension. I%. COI�KUNICATIONS FROM CITISSNS o Betty Naqy congratulated the Tequesta Fire Department for going to in-house EMS service. Mrs. Nagy expressed disappoval of Councilmember Schauer's comment at a recent meeting that southern Martin County build community stores to lessen the traffic on Country Club Drive. Mrs. Nagy reminded Councilmember Schauer that many of Tequesta's local merchants enjoy the business of many Martin County residents. Councilmember Schauer corrected Mrs. Nagy by answering that her suggestion was for a 7-11 or a convenience store, not a strip mall, to better serve Martin County residents when needed to shop for a loaf of bread or a quart of milk. o Wade Griest stated he remains amazed by the faCt that the public is not permitted 'to speak at Code Enforcement Board meetings. Mr. Griest suggested that the Village Council be brought up to date at every Council meeting regarding serious code violations in the Village. Mr. Griest reported that the property next door to his has once again been cited for Code violations, asking the Village Council not to allow this to go three years before correcting the problem or causing the Village thousands of dollars in legal fees. Chairman Capretta sugqested that the Chairman of the Code Enforcement Board and the Code Enforcement Officer report at each Public Safety Connnittee Meeting a status report on major violations in the Village, monitoring each case as it progresses. villaqs Council Meetiaq Minutes April id, 1994 Paqe 17 ------------------------------- Councilmember Collings suggested that there be a citizen report at each Village Council Meeting regarding the Code Enforcement Board meetinge. Mayor Mackail, having sat in on some Code Enforcement Board meetings, felt the communication from the Code Enforcement Office to the Code Enforcement Board was weak. He recommended that the Code Enforcement Officer be more prepared, firm, definitive, explaining all the legal parameters of the case. o Bill Treacy felt that, other than two Village Council members, the Village Council was a sore disappointment at the recent Jupiter/Tequesta/Martin County Joint Meeting. He felt that Councilmember Collings was more supportive of Martin County than Tequesta. He also felt the Council was afraid to take on the job for which they were elected. He said the Village Council should be paying more attention to and doing something about Country Club Drive. Mayor Mackail agreed that the Joint Meeting was a waste of time but assured Mr. Treacy that Country Club Drive is being taken into consideration. The Village Council will be reacting to the needs of Mr. Treacy and the residents of Country Club Drive, but it takes time. Village Council Meeting Minutea April 14, 1994 Paqe 18 ------------------------------- X. ADJOURNMENT Councilmember Collings moved that the meeting be adjourned.
