IV . CONSIDBRriTIOA OF STAFF �R13PORT OAi TIIB R-3 ZO�G DISTRICT
INVENTORY STODY.
Village Manaqer Bradford stated as a result of Vice Kayor
Burckart•s recommendation that chanqes be made to Section
VII of the Zoninq Code for the R-3 Zoning District [wh3ch
only applies to properties within the Villaqe of Tequesta on
Beach Road and allows the hiqhest density of any zoning -
district under the Village•s Zoninq Code] to make it more in
keepinq with Palm Beach County•s similar zoning district,
the Village Council had directed staff to prepar� an
inventory study in order to determine how existinq
properties relate to the existinq code in effect for that
area and to Palm Beach County's zoninq code for the ad jacent
area. Villaqe l�anaqer Bradford reviewed Vice l�iayor
Burckart�s suqgestions in reqard to amending the R-3 Zoninq
' villaqe Council �
Special Keetinq l�iinutes
July 28, 1994
Paqe 3
-------------------------------
District by changinq Section VII of the Zoninq Code to
allow:
4 Side setback of 40 feet plus 2 feet for each additional
ten feet, and if an R-3 District abutted a sinqle family
district that the setback should be doubled to provide a
proper separation for the two land uses.
o Front setback of two feet for a one-story qaraqe
structure that is landscaped and covered with greenery on
top. Other one-story qarages would have a front setback
of ten feet from the front property line if there were no
� landscapinq on top. The main structure front setback
would remain at 60 feet.
4 Building heiqht of eleven living levels over one level of
pa=king. (As described in the existinq code except for
the addition of three additional levels.} Buildinq
height would be changed fro� 85 feet to 115 feet to
accommodate the extra three stories.
In the absence of Scott D. Ladd, Buildinq Official, who had
prepared the inventory study, villaqe Manager Bradford
reviewed Mr. Ladd•s report which included the number of
units, lot area in acres, units per acre, as-built from
yard, side yard, and rear yard setbacks, height in stories
and in feet, percentage of lot coveraqe, and "whether
conforminq or non-conforminq to eurrent c�e. 2+1r. Ladd had
also prepared a comparative analysis of various zoninq code
ordinances for the Village and for the County and when they
were adopted. The Palm Beach County code was showti to be
more liberal than the Village code for front, side and rear
yard setbacks, and allowed building heiqht to increase in
relation to increased setbacks. The net result of l�ir.
Ladd's findinqs was that of all the properties within the R-
3 Zoning District were non-confor�inq, and that the onlp
property conforming under current code is Cliveden which �as
approved by the Villaqe Council on June 14, 1994. Villaqe
Manaqer Bradford clarified that "conforminqa �eant a
property met all requfrenents undEr current code and that
"non-con�orming meant a property did not comply with one or
more of the current requirements. Implicit in Mr. Ladd•s
report was that these properties became non-conforminq as
more restrictive ordinances replaced previous ordinances
over the years. In response to Councilmember Capretta,
' villaqe Council
Special Reeting Kinutes
July Z8, 1994
Pege 4
Villaqe Manaqer Bradford clarified that in January 1973 when
Tequesta Towers was permitted that the code then in effect
allowed buildinq beiqht of 100 feet, so that they were able
to build an 11-story l�iilding.
Village Manager Bradford responded ta Councilmember
Schauer�s question of what would happen if the non-
conforminq properties remained non-conforminq, that if there
�ere a disaster where one of those structures were damaqed
50$ or more, it would have to be rebuilt under the existinq '
code, not the code that existed at the time it was built.
Councilmember Capretta suqqested if Tequesta's code were
more consistent with the Palm Beach County code that the
buildinqs would be conforminq and could be rebuilt to their
original plans, and also would make Tequesta competitive for
people wishinq to annex into the Village. Mayor l�tackail
questioned the dollar impact to the Village tax base in
liqht of the present inventory and potential aru�exation.
Village Manaqer Bradford responded if the Village had
everything from Claridge to Seawatch that there would be a
nice tax base. Councilmenber Collinqs informed the Council
that over the years the Coastal Constructian Zone had been �
moved back by the County, so tfiat many of these propertfes
could not be rebuilt in their own footprint if they �ere
destroyed. Villaqe Manaqer Bradford co�ented that the only
undeveloped Beach Road property was the Cliveden
development.
alfred Coyle, 375 Beach Road, stated he was,confused by
comments made in a letter he had received from Villaqe
Manager Bradford, �rhich he planned to respond to next week.
He quoted fro� the letter, `Vice lsayor Burckart and some
members of the Council believe that the Cliveden condominius
project as was originally proposed was a better project for
all parties concerned in terms of desiqn and
amenities......As to the proposed townhoaes on the
northernmost parcel, there appears to be unanimity that
these units should be avoided if possible.• 1�Ir. Goyle
stated if the original proposal included the townho�es that
these sta..tements appeared to be in direct contradiction, and
wondered if the townho�es had ever been seriously considered
and if they mi.ght be a red herrinq. Ae further quoted,
"development riqhts of the developer, and can they be
transferred thereby resolving the concernsa. Mr. Coyle
asked what development rights were, whether they�guaranteed
' village Council

---------------------------��
a profitable return for the developer, and why they were in
the beat interest of the taxpayers. He stated the inventory
report history did not justify chariqinq curren.t code to
accommodate a developer. Mr. Coyle stated his belief that
when a councilmember had a conflict of interest that
councilmember should abstain from votinq; and that any
realtor would stand to gain financially from these proposed
zoninq chanqes.
R. C. tieinken, 375 Beach Road, stated he had addressed the
Board of Adjustment on January 17, and the Village Council
on May 3. He had been suthorized to speak for Beach Road in
its entirety at tonight's meetinq by Kenneth York, President
of the Beach Road Association which represents 17 buildings
on Beach Road containing 542 residents. On behalf of Beach
Road 1�Ir. Meinken expressed the feelinq that any changes in
the ordinances and in the codes that are in existence,
whether they be setbacks or height requirements, are in
total opposition to �hat Beach Road residents want the
Villaqe to undertake, and that Beach Road residents did not
support an ordinance change of any kind. He stated the
Beach Road residents want the Cliveden project developed the
way it was approved by Council on May 3 and would fiqht very
hard to keep 3t that way, and that Tequesta was not in
competition with other cities or Palm Beach County.
Jack Downey, 325 Beach Road, stated as President of Island
House Southwest he had taken a poll of their 30 units to
determine the residents' position concerning the existinq
limited heiqht and the open parkinq for the Cliveden
project. He reported the first 15 people he called all
preferred increasinq the heiqht of the buildinq and that the
parking be in covered qarages with landscapi.nq. He stated
he wanted the Council to know the result from one group of
the four involved'.
J.K.R. Graveney, 19750 Beach Road, stated he represented
Passages as their President, and their rfext-door neighbor,
Mrs. Sendzimir. He stated they had no wish to be annexed
and would not discuss it; that since Mrs. Sendz3.�ir had
turned down an offer from 1Kason Simpson to purchase her
property that l�Ir. Burckart's comment about annexation was
� confusinq, and suspicious people might think Tequesta had a
trio consistinq of Mr. Burckart, Mr. Divosta and Mason
Simpson.

�Iason Simpson stated he had not made an offer for Mrs.
Sendzimir's property. Mr. Sim�on stated that, �peakinq as
a professional, the nortb�rn part of the island need�d ta be
in Tequesta to be able to use Villaqe services and currently
under County regulations buildinqs there cauld be of
unlimited heiqht. He explained a Conditional Dae B g�nait
was granted by the. County Commission to construct a buf ldinq
with no heiqht restrictions except those determined by
setbackB, which would mean the Sendzimir property could
currently have a buildinq over 20 stories tall. Other
comments by Mr. Simpson included a statement that if he were
allowed to build townhomes at the Cliveden pro ject that they
would be built.
Ed Hallberg, 350 Heach ltoad, requested clarification as to
how the heiqht was detenained on the Cliveden project. 1Kr.
Iiallberg stated h3.s belief that the buildinq was 97 feet
high and the code stated 85 feet. Villaqe Manaqer Bradford
explained the first floor and the elevator tower were
typically not counted in determininq height. Mr. Hallberq
stated his belief that since the side yard setback was 40
feet with an additional 2 feet added for each additional
ten, even using the 85-ft. heiqht that the requirement �ould
be 52 feet and not 50 feet as was approved. Mr. Hallberq
requested clarification froa the Building Department as to
how Cliveden had been deter�i.ned to be a conforminq
property.
l�ierv Crockett, 400 Beach Road, stated he was a 20-year
resident who had been on the Tequesta Towers Board for 18
years, and his comments were in their behalf. Mr. Crockett
stated they were opposed to any chanqe in zoninq that would
- �rmit the construction of five townhouses.
Brenda Sispson, 25 Saddleback Road, questioned�when the
meetinq was held that authorized l�ir.� Meinken as
representative to sgeak for all Beach Road residents.
Steve Kennedy, Deputy Buildinq Official, stated that
Building officfal Ladd had d+etermined the Cliveden property
to be conforminq; however, since the criteria in the
inventory study seemed to be contradictory he suqqested this
matter be revisited. Councilme�ber Collings commented the
study was a general study, while the issue of how heiqht and
. setback had been deter�ined for Cliveden was a precise
� viiiaqe councii

matter; and recommended revisiting this matter. Councilman
Capretta spoke reqardinq the Clivedeen proiect and etated the
Beach Road resfdente had never bad ths choice of no
condominium beinq builts their�choi were only in regard
to the open or covered parkinq and whether to increase the
height of the buildinq. He informed the public that the
laws reqarding conflict of interest were very specific, and
that data 3�ad not been seen to ind3cate Mr. Burckart has any
conflict or hae been unethical in any way. Villaqe Attorney
Randolph stated any member of the Council who has an issue
which would inure to his personal financial gain should
recuse himself from votinq on any such issue and in the
event of such a conflict he is to declare that conflict at
the public meetinq and file a financial disclosure statement
and conflict of interest stateaent t�ith the Village which
would qo to the State. Mr. Capretta stated unless a member
of the public had proof that Mr. Burckart had acted
unethically, he would appreciate them not maligning him.
1llfred Coyle stated he did not imply that Mr. Burckart had
done anything unethical, but had stated that a member of the
Council who was in the real estate business probably has a
potential financial gain from approving this type of chanqe
in the zoning code.
Kr. Graveney stated after listeninq to Kr. Gapretta that he
would like to withdraw his final remark.
Kr. Heinken addressed comments to Mr. Capretta that the
people at Lamar, 375 Beach Road, the immediate abutter to
Cliveden, desired a 9-story building with open sir parking
rather than a buildinq higher than their existinq buildinq.
He stated Mr. DiVosta had pl$nned to build a twin tower, and
the original purchasers based their purchases on that
premise. He stated there had been rumors that an 11 or 12-
story buildinq would enhance the value of existinq
properties, and stated that statement was untrue, and that
they had been told by real estate people that their property
values would qo down.
I�r. Si�pson stated the twin tower could not be built since
two parking spaces per unit are now required and the site is
physically not large enough for two spaces per unit, and
that if it could be built he would be pleased to build it.

It was the consensu� of the Village Cour�cil that staff be
directed to qather further information on determin3nq th�
heiqht and setbacks in the R-3 zoninq district.
Councilmember Schauer dfrected Deputy Buildinq Official
Steven Kennedy to inform Buildinq Official Saott D. Ladd to
include in his report whether or not on there is a manaqer�e
apartment on the main level of every existing condo on Beach
Road, and where the electrical facilities are located.
Villaqe Attorney Randolph recapped that direction to staff
was to produce a�ore complete and precise background report
relating to the R-3 Zoning District to inclu8e ho� setbacks
and height are measured on a practical basis to qive the
Council a better understanding of how the ordinances are
applied.
Mayor Mackail stated at the original meeting regard�nq
Cliveden his impression was Beach Road residents were anly
,opposed to the amount of time they had available to study
the project and make coimnents, not that tliey were opposed to
the actual project. Mayor Mackail stated the Village is in
a lawsuit and he did not see a win for either the Village or
the people who are suing the Villaqe, and felt the real �
concern was the five potential�townhomes. He infor�ed the
public that when the Council had asked for a special meetinq
to try to work things out in a neighborly fashion there was
� no support, therefore, he felt it imperative that staff
provide more infor�ation and asked that they include
information as to what would happen in the event of a
disaster to conforminq and non-conforminq properties,. and
the potential tax base that would be available for the
Villaqe. Councilmember Collinqs asked that the Beach Road
pro�rties which might anneu in the future be listed in the
report with.heights, etc., and that the future anriexation
impact�for all of Beach Road be stated. �
Councilme�ber Capretta informed the public that the Council
could not interfere with or reverse the decision by the
Zoninq Board of Ad justmertt.

Councilmember Schauer questioned whether the remaininq

Richard Staudinger replied $8,000 had been earmarked for
landscapinq, lights and irriqation around the sign, and any
remaining funds were planned for additional landscapinq
alonq Country Club Drive. 8e reported the solar
streetliqhts would cost $3,000 each and that two would be
necessary. The other option, FPL, would require easements,
which were beinq investiqated. Village Manaqer Bradford
responded to Council�ember Capretta that sidewalks were not
part of this project and would be done at another time.
Village &�qineer Staudinger stated all phases of this

offered an option of usinq $25,000 which had been borrot�ed
from the water Department instead of paying it back. T'he
City Engineer urged the Council to decide Qn any chanqes a�s
soon as possible. Villaqe Manaqer Bradford responded to
Councilmember Collings that the idea of cost-sharinq with
Martin County for Tequesta park was dead. Councilmember
Capretta voiced concern that the parks would not be fu11y
utilized, and felt somethinq must be done to manage
Constitution Park and orqanize activities there. �Mayor
Mackail stated JTAA would utilize Tequesta Park if there
were enouqh playing fields and JTAA had requested that the
Village make a conmitment to improve the irrigation system
and the park to meet their requirements. Further discusaion

Village Attorney Randolph read the above ordinance by title
only on third reading. Councilmember Collinqs stated he was
in favor of the suggested minimum amount of impact fees;
however, he questioned whether the Village•s Fire-Rescue
department was operatinq for less than the Villaqe had paid
under the County's program. Villaqe Manager Bradford
assured Councilmember Collings that Fire-Rescue was
operatinq for Iess, and that the proposed impact fee was to
help offset future capital expansion; and he recommended at
a minimum the Village charge what the (:ounty currently
charqes, which was also the recommendation of the BOCC.
Fire Chief Weinand commented the schedule was common from
city to city and that he was trying to bring Tequesta up to
what other cities were charging. Council�ember Collings
clarified that if passed this Ordinance could be amended at
any time, and if passed at the rates charged by the Courity
Tequesta would have the mechanics in action and stated his
reluctance at this point to dramatically increase impact
fees to the three developers who are interested in the
downtown redevelopment project. Councilman Capretta
commented if the funds did not come from new construction
that the current residents would have to provide them.
Village Manaqer Bradford informed the Council that when the
f igures were available for Polfce and Rec�reation impact fees
that he expected the Recreation impact fees to be reduced,
and that the Council could a�end Fire-Rescue impact fee
amounts when all those fiqures became available. Further
discussion included the points that additional fire and
police services would be needed when the downtown project

wa� completed, that annexation would come before the voter�s
in March, 1995, and that new development needed an incentive
to coIDe to Tequesta.
Hal Hutchinson commented that a developer may pay initially
but the person who purchases the property w311 really pay.
1rlotion was made by Councilmember Collinqs to approve cl�at�ges
to the above referenc�d Ordinance to reflect that i�pact
fees would be kept at the s�e amounts Pala Beach County is
currently charginq (aa noted in l�ir. Bradford•s memo dated
July 22, 1994j fraa Donald Ross Road Tequesta•s soath

Councilmember Collinqs asked the Council, on behalf of
BRI�, if the $5,000 donation budgeted for fiscal year 94-95
could be made to BRI� now, in this fiscal year, as it was
needed for the new company cominq in for their next
production session. It was the consensus of the Village
Council to instruct Villaqe Manaqer Bradford to make chanqes
to the budqet documents in order to contribute $5,000 to
BRITT immediately fnstead of makinq a$5,000 contribution
from next year�s budget.
Village Manager Bradford discussed salt water intrusion
problems experienced by the Hobe Sound Water Company, and
explained that he had contacted them and offered Tequesta's
help. A meetinq �ith their representatives that morninq had
resulted in a possible short-term emergency interconnect on
US 1 or on Beach Road to allow Hobe Sound to purchase
� additional water that could come via interconnects of water
systems from as far south as Seacoast IItility t�hich may
currently have excess capacity. Also, Hobe Sound was very
interested in pursuing all options for a joint venture with
Tequesta to obtain a new reverse osnosis facility to serve
both systems, and had been authorized by Villaqe Manaqer
Bradford to begin talks with Tequesta�s engineers to see if
this could be made feasible to the satis€action of both
municipalities.
xiii COl�II�iONICATIONS FROIi CITIZSNS
Dottie Ca�pbell, 4 Tradewinds Circle, requested and received
permission from the Council to have the artist, Osso, who
had oriqinally created the paintinq t�hich hanqs on the t�rall
behind the Council platform paint an overlay to chanqe the
brown tones to blues and grays, and to change the brown
frames of the other drawings to more appropriate colors to.
blend with the colors not�t used in the Council chambers.
Mrs. Campbell also requested and recei�ed permission from
the Council to donate a 4'x 6' historically correct picture
that had been delegated to a hallway in the Municipal Annex
Complex to the Loxahatchee 8istorical Muse�. Mrs. Campbell
responded favorably to Mayor Mackail's request that she look
into some sort of rotating art exhibit for the Municipal
Council Chambers. �
