TII. URBAN DEVELOPMENT ON FLORIDA'S EAST COAST A) Dr. Lance deHaven-Smith, Professor and Assistant Director of the Institute of Government at Florida State IIniversity, was introduced by Mayor Capretta. Dr. deHaven-Smith commented that he studied growth and development all over Florida and in other parts of the country, and would be talking today about the transformation occurring around the Village what the Village needed to do to maintain the quality of life in the face of the rapid urbanization around Tequesta. Dr. deHaven-Smith noted that those who had lived in Florida for some time had seen the • transformation of Florida from rural to urban, which could occur in as little as 10 or 15 years. Dr. deHaven-Smith commented that he would briefly go over same items that should be kept in mind as facilities which required a significant investment were considered, and advised that he had found that when there was disagreement over such matters usually people were focusing on one item or issue rather than on the bigger picture. The presentation would also cover Florida's growth cycle and the origins of the urban blight running up the east coast, mainly along the Dixie Highway corridor, where Tequesta fit into all of this, and would note that Tequesta was approximately six miles north of the coming growth. Dr. deHaven-Smith commented that some pocket areas would become less economically affluent, which could affect the Village, that investing in capital facilities was a proven way to protect the Village from those effects and to reverse any downward trends, and that publiclprivate partnerships were also a proven approach and he would present examples of other places who had used that method. Essentially what was involved was that public dollars were leveraged • to jump start private development which then had a lot of spinoff benefits beyond the initial • VILLAGE COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING MINUTES August 5, 2000 PAGE 3 ----------------------- investment. Dr. deHaven-Smith's presentation began with facility investment cost, and he explained that although short-term cost could be cheaper, maintenance costs would be very high as opposed to spending more for long-term investment. Dr. deHaven-Smith noted the effects on property values; appearance of the facility and how it would fit currently and long term in a changing community; impacts in contiguous land uses in surrounding neighborhoods and to surrounding businesses; the effects on the Village image short term and long term, and effects on distal and proximate urban forum and calendar (the surrounding growth). Dr. deHaven Smith explained that what the Village did along their borders could have an effect on crime and that who located around the Village could • affect the property values within the Village. Traffic had been a concern mentioned at the last meeting. Dr. deHaven-Smith explained that he would provide a paper to the Village after all the meetings, and that traffic would be one of the items highlighted. A question raised at Thursday night's meeting had been whether the Village would be competing against private sector business, to which Dr. deHaven Smith's response was that this would stimulate economic activity that would benefit everyone throughout the business community. Dr. deHaven-Smith asked everyone to think about the image of the Village both to the residents and to surrounding communities, because how others think about an area affects property values. Although the Village was almost built out, growth around it was lust beginning; and although protected by the water bodies, the Village would still feel some impacts from the development. Dr. deHaven-Smith presented a growth chart showing the state's population of under 2 million in 1930, increasing over the years to 15 million approximately eight months ago. Dr. deHaven-Smith • explained that Florida's growth was not all alike-citing examples of Cuban, Haitian, and VILLAGE COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING MINUTES August 5, 2000 PAGE 4 retirement groups. Dr, deHaven-Smith commented that in 1994 Governor Chiles had sued the Federal Government to try to get them to pay the cost of the State's contribution to provide public services to the Haitians. Although he did not win the case, he drew attention to the problem. Dr. deHaven- Smith noted that in 1985 there had been 17,000 Haitians living in Delray Beach, that different groups tended to live together, and that it often took time to assimilate different cultures into our culture. The population of Florida was currently increasing at the rate of 550 people per day, which was not as rapid as in the past. Dr. deHaven-Smith discussed the baby boomers, people born between 1946 and 1964, which were now approaching retirement, with one baby boomer turning 50 every seven seconds. This would greatly impact the retirement population, with enormous change by 2025, which was significant for the Village because of where the senior retirement population located. Dr. deHaven-Smith presented a map showing the percentage of seniors in each county, and indicating that they do not locate in the big cities, but rather one or two counties out, which creates a growth pattern. Palm Beach County was now entering a retirement growth phase, and the southern part of the county had already gone past it. Dr. deHaven-Smith reviewed four stages of urbanization: (1) rural (or older cities); (2) a retirement boom; (3) after that young people move in to provide services; and (4) retirement decline (when retirees move to the next county). Housing left vacant by retirees was then filled by ethnic minorities-first generation immigrants, which could have a big effect when there were 17,000 of them in one area. Dr. deHaven-Smith explained that this trend was coming right up the east coast, with Dade and Broward declining in retirees as they moved north to Palm Beach County. Dr. deHaven-Smith noted that around 1975 Miami had been a Jewish retirement community, which had subsequently moved up to • VILLAGE COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING MINUTES August 5, 2000 PAGE 5 Broward County, and were now moving into Palm Beach County. Dr. deHaven-Smith commented that Miami had changed very quickly, in only ten years, from a Jewish retirement community to the center of Latin disco. Dr. deHaven-Smith explained that Charlotte County currently has the highest percentage of retirees in the state, and commented that in 15-20 years there will be a lot more people in the senior counties. Dr. deHaven-Smith noted there was also the same trend around Orlando in Orange County, with most of the seniors living in adjacent Lake County. Poverty rates for different racial and ethnic groups were reviewed. Dr. deHaven Smith noted that Professor Julius Wilson of Harvard IIniversity had studied urban poverty in relation to race and he argued that this issue had been avoided. Dr. Wilson's main point was that the poverty of African Americans and Hispanics was • different from the poverty of whites, because the minorities were living in concentrated groups while whites were spread out. Dr. Wilson had written a book on the subject titled, The Truly Disadvantaged. Dr, deHaven-Smith explained that poor people living next door to poor people created a totally different situation than poor people living next to middle class people, and gave an example that if one's car broke down or a baby sitter was sick the next door neighbor could not help out if they were alsa desperate. Also, there were no good success role models, resulting in high levels of crime and drug use. The state of Florida was expected to be 40~ minority by 2025. The African American population, which had declined for the last 50 years, was now increasing; and the Hispanic population was also increasing, changing the population of the state very dramatically very quickly. Dr, deHaven-Smith pointed out from census tract information that the Hispanic wave coming up the southeast coast now came as far north as just north of West Palm Beach, and that the Hispanic population located a little south of Orlando was comparable in size to that in Dade • County; however, the Dade County Hispanics were Cuban, and the central Florida Hispanics tended to • VILLAGE COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING MINUTES August 5, 2000 PAGE 6 ----------------------- be Mexican. Dr. deHaven-Smith discussed why urban blight existed along the coast in predominately African American neighborhoods, explaining that it was a vestige of Florida's southern history. The state of Florida had been the third state to secede from the IInion, and had segregated beaches, restrooms, etc., up until the mid-1960's. Dr. deHaven Smith discussed a book by Leon Dash, who won a Pulitzer prize, titled Rosa Lee, which was the story of an African American family living in Washington, D.C. In studying this family, Mr. Dash found that some of their dysfunctional patterns-drug use, etc., went away back historically, and they had come out of a very different situation. Dr. deHaven-Smith expressed his opinion that the same thing was true of African Americans in Florida, and commented they • had lived here for 4-5 generations but had had a very difficult time. The reason African Americans live in a strip running up the coast was because there had been a zoning category "Negro Housing" in the 1940's and 1950's. The belt of blight now ran from Miami to Jacksonville and run-down neighborhoods could be seen approximately every two miles. The civil rights laws allowed healthy, educated African Americans to leave this area, so that the remaining black population consisted mainly of young, sick, and old individuals. Dr. deHaven-Smith explained that typically as predominantly white urbanization occurred inland, malls were built approximately every six miles. The reason they were built every six miles was because it takes 100,000 people to support a regional mall. As this urbanization moved west, the jobs held by African Americans, domestic help and agriculture, disappeared. Dr. deHaven Smith commented that another book by Dr. Julius Wilson was When Work Disappears, who had studied this problem in different areas of the country and found that although everyone had a job, it was usually for only a part of the year, and Dr. deHaven-Smith explained that was the situation in the corridor moving up the coast, and Tequesta was not insulated • VILLAGE COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING MINUTES August 5, 2000 PAGE 7 ----------------------- from this old Florida tragedy. Pictures of areas in Ft. Lauderdale, Deerfield only a short distance from Mizner park were displayed which depicted run- down conditions, which Dr. deHaven Smith explained could be very close to affluent areas. Dr. deHaven Smith commented he was currently working with another community roughly the size of Tequesta located half a mile from a run-down area and they were seeing a decline in their housing values. In the growth cycle, Tequesta was in between stages 3 and 4, with young people moving in, creating a mix of young and old, and a beginning decline in retirement population. Dr. deHaven-Smith presented a Palm Beach County population chart and a Tequesta population chart. Dr. deHaven-Smith commented that Tequesta was a small village and had no control over the pressures created by the growth which surrounded them. The Village was approaching • buildout, but the population would change to be more racially diverse, and Tequesta was currently about six miles north of this diversity. The African American and Hispanic populations were a little south of Tequesta, with Tequesta being the last point of growth coming up from the south. Dr. deHaven-Smith discussed the impacts of public investments, and what the Village could do to keep their community healthy and to pick it back up if it deteriorated. Photographs of Las Olas Boulevard in Ft. Lauderdale were shown. Dr. deHaven-Smith gave a brief history of Ft. Lauderdale and explained that the county had invested heavily in the city and eventually turned it around, and that they had turned their beach around in ten years. Another example, Delray Beach was shown. Delray Beach had keen in dire straits but had invested a lot of money and had made a lot of progress. Boynton Beach was now in the process of turning itself around, as was West Palm Beach with Clematis Street and the Kravis Center, after 5-6 years of no development downtown after Ross Development Corporation had gone bankrupt. Dr. deHaven-Smith commented that Mizner Park was the closest comparison he could think of to what Tequesta was • VILLAGE COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING MINUTES August 5, 2000 PAGE 8 doing, and was a real success which had been accomplished with a public/private partnership to develop a rundown shopping center with many closed down businesses and a parking lot that flooded, where teenagers would hang out. Dr. deHaven-Smith explained that the developer came in, the City bought the land and leased it to the developer at a very low cost, and the developer invested privately to build Mizner Park. As the park becomes more successful, the City's lease increases, creating additional cash flow over time from something that had been a drain on the tax base. In Tallahassee, an example was Kleman Plaza, and Ft. Pierce was now working on the same kind of redevelopment. Dr. deHaven-Smith provided a summary and implications, and asked the residents to think about what would happen in Tequesta in the next 15 • years, and explained that now was a decisive time in this community, which could get better, but which could also deteriorate rapidly if the right things were not done to maintain quality of life. Dr. deHaven-Smith expressed his opinion that the Village was doing the right thing by investing in a place that was a drag on property values and a source of potential problems, and investing in new facilities in that location through the proven method of a public/private partnership could be very good. Dr. deHaven-Smith stated his view was that this was a smart move. IV. OVERVIEW OF PROPOSED MUNICIPAL FACILITIES A) Acting Village Manager Joann Manganiello provided an overview of the proposed municipal facilities and explained that the Village, incorporated in 1957, was a full service community, offered a highly attractive living environment positioned between the Loxahatchee River and Atlantic Ocean, a small town with home-town friendliness, shops, parks and recreation, and churches of various faiths. Acting Village Manager Manganiello explained that the importance of planning and VILLAGE COUNCIL WORKSHOP • MEETING MINUTES August 5, 2000 PAGE 9 managing growth could not be underestimated nor ignored, and that a priority and vision of the Village Council for more than a decade had been building for Tequesta's future. The Village Council had taken a pro-active, aggressive, and fiscally conservative approach to ensure that the vitality and overall quality of life in Tequesta would not be compromised. An integral part of building for the Village's future included a municipal facilities master plan. The history of the Village Council's actions regarding municipal facilities began with a master plan charrette in 1989, followed by a space needs study in 1993, life safety and code compliance evaluation in 1995, space needs study update in 1997, central business district charrette in 1997, Tequesta Village Center master site plan approval in 2999, and approval of the Redevelopment Committee recommendation in 2000. • The Master Plan Phase I had relocated Village Manager, Village Clerk, finance, and water service offices to the Wachovia bank building, making the east wing of the Village Hall available to the Police Department and the east wing in the annex building available to Fire Rescue Administration. In Phase II the public services facility was built on Bridge Road and the reverse osmosis water treatment plant had recently been completed. Phase III, construction of a public safety facility for Police and Fire Rescue, and a Municipal Center, was the final planning effort in the municipal facilities master plan. New municipal facilities would address the following concerns: space that was inadequate and overcrowded; functional obselence; deteriorating physical conditions; inadequate life safety code compliance; and occupying temporary facilities. Photographs depicting existing facilities conditions which were the Tequesta employees' working environment were shown, and included inadequate storage areas, overcrowded employee work space, and inadequate space for equipment. A series of pictures compared existing to prototype public safety operations • space and included a police department lobby, dispatch communications room, work stations, mail VILLAGE COUNCIL WORKSHOP • MEETING MINUTES August 5, 2000 PAGE 10 ----------------------- distribution center, holding cells, and a sally port. Acting Village Manager Manganiello noted that the Police Department currently had no available holding cells or sally port, and that detainees were now transferred to the Palm Beach County jail. Next shown were pictures depicting deteriorating conditions, temporary quarters which had housed firefighters since 1993, and rented office space which had cost approximately $50,000 annually since 1996. Acting Village Manager Manganiello commented that the need for new facilities was real and warranted, and that the Village Council had made the decision to provide new facilities. A rendering depicting the southeast view from Tequesta Drive of the new public safety facility was presented, to be built on the present site of • Police and Fire Rescue with the Village Green Park remaining intact. Another rendering was presented which showed the facility from Tequesta Drive and that the fire rescue apparatus bays would be right up front. A conceptual site plan of the public safety facility delineating separate operations by use of different colors was presented. Acting Village Manager Manganiello explained that in September, 1989, the Village Council had held a Master Plan Charrette to develop a conceptual master plan for future development east of the FEC railway. The area consisted of 90 acres of mostly vacant land and deteriorating shopping plazas. The master plan provided for mixed use zoning, including residential, commercial, cultural, and civic uses. As a result of this Charrette, the Village Council had created the mixed use zoning district to stimulate development and redevelopment in the central business district. A Village Hall was envisioned in this district, as well as a traditional urban design pattern with emphasis on pedestrian-friendly access. In May, 1997, a Tequesta Village Center Charrette had been held to • focus more intently on development and redevelopment of the central business district by • VILLAGE COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING MINUTES August 5, 2000 PAGE 11 ----------------------- receiving input from property and business owners in the study area. Preliminary site plans reflecting ideas and concepts resulted. Among the many concepts were a new main street, streetscapes, new buildings with plazas, and people places. In August 1999 the Master Site Plan for Tequesta Village Center, which was in keeping with recommendations from both charrettes, was unanimously approved by the Village Council. Acting Village Manager Manganiello explained that the groundbreaking and subsequent development of Tequesta Village Center was of major significance in the revitalization of Tequesta's downtown central business district as conceptualized in the 1989 Master Plan. The focal point was to be the new Municipal Center. Acting Village Manager Manganiello presented a • rendering of the new Municipal Center on Bridge Road, and explained that a land swap was available which would place the facility on Tequesta Drive. The proposed facility on each site was described. The Village Council was requesting the residents' preference of the two sites at this meeting, which they would take into account in making their decision for the location. Acting Village Manager Manganiello explained that the Village Council envisioned a Municipal Center that would provide people places for children to play, adults to relax, and families to gather; a place to hold outdoor community events and to host meetings and seminars; a vibrant Municipal Center of which the residents could be a part; and that the Municipal Center would provide a sense of identity for the Village. The Municipal Center would include space for administrative offices, public records, finance department, water customer service, utilities department, public works and recreation, community development, and the Village Council chambers. The Municipal Center would be a place for community meetings, such as homeowner association meetings; business-professional association functions; social • gatherings, such as receptions, parties, and ceremonies; informational seminars and lectures; VILLAGE COUNCIL WORKSHOP • MEETING MINUTES August 5, 2000 PAGE 12 ----------------------- children's special activities such as youth movie nights; government-sponsored special events such as a citizens' appreciation barbeque. The Municipal Center would offer a friendly, small-town atmosphere. The Bridge Road streetscape plan was presented, which together with the Municipal Center would revitalize the central business area, benefit existing businesses, attract new businesses, enhance and compliment new development and renovation in the downtown area, and increase property values. Acting Village Manager Manganiello explained that the Bridge Road Streetscape Plan would be the finishing touch for Tequesta's downtown, and revitalization of Bridge Road would involve major infrastructure improvements as well as major aesthetic • improvements. Costs for the proposed Village facilities were reviewed. Total estimated cost for the public safety building and site was $3.2 million; total cost for the municipal center based on approximately 17,000 square feet to provide for future expansion was $1.8 million for the building and site The cost of the land swap-$106,000; carillon clock-$20,000; and carillon clock tower-$65,000, were not included. Acting Village Manager Manganiello explained that for their investment the residents would be provided with a Public Safety Facility which would include Police administration, communications, patrol services, investigative services, compliance inspection, Fire administration, emergency medical services, and fire suppression services. The Municipal Center would include administrative offices, public records, finance and utilities departments, public works and recreation, department of community development, and the Council chambers. The facilities would be paid for by 30-year bonds using utility tax revenues now going into the General Fund. The General Fund would be replenished by additional revenues generated by new development • VILLAGE COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING MINUTES August 5, 2000 PAGE 13 ----------------------- and redevelopment, along with revenue increases from other General Fund sources, so that to a significant extent the new facilities would pay for themselves. Acting Village Manager Manganiello explained that new development. generates new value, new value generates additional tax dollars, additional tax dollars increase revenues of the General Fund, increased revenues of the General Fund replenish utility tax revenues pledged for debt service on the bond, for which the following example was provided: The current assessed value of the Tequesta Plaza property today was $725,000, while the projected assessed va~.ue of Tequesta Village Center was $10 million. Current tax revenue from Tequesta Plaza based on a millage rate of 6.7305 was $5,000; while the projected future tax revenue was $67,000 annually. Acting Village Manager Manganiello noted that Kimley Horn & • Associates estimated a $4.00 return on every $1.00 invested in streetscapinq. The Bridge Road/Main Street streetscapinq would involve an investment of approximately $600,000, resulting in a return on that investment of $2.4 million increase in property values, business revenues, and other monies. Acting Village Manager Manganiello noted that this project was the culmination of planning which had taken place over the years since the 1989 citizen charrette, and that the Village Council had had the foresight to reserve funds for debt service payments over a number of years in anticipation of the municipal facilities project. Acting Village Manager Manganiello explained that the goal of the past eleven years could now be made a reality. Ms. Manganiello commented that the Public Safety facility would bring each resident a sense of safety and security, and the new Municipal Center would provide residents with a sense of community and a sense of identity--of the Village as a place for families to call home. Acting Village Manager Manganiello introduced Architect Jim Stergas of Stergas & Associates, and • VILLAGE COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING MINUTES August 5, 2000 PAGE 14 ----------------------- explained that Mr. Stergas and his artist Wallace McTammaney had been responsible for the renderings shown in the presentation. V. INPUT ON MUNICIPAL CENTER SITE OPTIONS A) Dr. Lance deHaven-Smith requested input from residents for their preference of location. John Giba commented that for a time he had felt all facilities, administration, and services of the Village should be in one location, but had changed his mind after seeing the master plan. Mr. Giba commented that the geography and population were not likely to change, but that areas that would be likely to change were traffic coming into the Village from the outside, services the Village • might have to provide in the future, and the community's lifestyle. Mr. Giba commented that he hoped the lifestyle would not change dramatically from the current nice, warm community. Mr. Giba expressed his opinion that Fire Rescue and Police services needed to be consolidated in one area, and locating them on the present site west of the railroad tracks was good because their services were required primarily from the residents. Mr. Giba commented that the Municipal Center belonged downtown because there it would provide services not only to residents but to the commercial areas, and would be readily available to people coming into the area from II.S. One. Mr. Giba stated his personal .preference for the location of the Municipal Center was Tequesta Drive, being the main street in the Village, and commented that the only problem he saw was the ingress and egress, which could be solved. Mr. Giba stated he did not want to see the Municipal Center on a side street where its location would be hard to describe to people. Mr. Giba favored the idea of the clock tower since it would create a unique landmark that would be worth the extra cost, and the cost would be amortized. • VILLAGE COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING MINUTES August 5, 2000 PAGE 15 Kevin Kinnebrew complimented those responsible for the outstanding presentation, and stated he had had experience with such presentations and with architecture and knew how much everyone involved had done. Mr. Kinnebrew commented that Mr. Giba had made great comments, and questioned whether the clock tower could be at the Tequesta Drive location. Tequesta Drive was Mr. Kinnebrew's site preference because of it being the main thoroughfare and there the facility could be a showcase and would tend to accomplish the goal of revitalizing the downtown, since he believed new commercial development would follow. Mr. Kinnebrew expressed his opinion that the Municipal Center should not be on a back street like Bridge Road. Acting Village Manager Manganiello responded that the clock tower could be seen from either location, since it would be very tall and visible above the • buildings. Discussion ensued regarding the access to Bridge Road from Main Street, the carillon clock tower in the Bridge Road rendering and the smaller carillon clock in the Tequesta Drive rendering. Architect Stergas pointed out on the master site plan the proposed location for the clock tower, which was in the .plaza area. Mr. Kinnebrew commented that Tequesta Plaza had been a black eye for the community and this was an opportunity to get rid of it, and requested that the Tequesta Drive location be chosen. Vi Laamanen expressed concern that another shopping center on II.S. One was beginning to deteriorate, and questioned whether provision had been made for the current Village Hall. Mayor Capretta responded that provision had been made to tear down the current ..building when. vacated., and that the facilities would consist of all new construction. Mrs. Laamanen commented that she did not have a preference between the Tequesta Drive and Bridge Road locations, but might lean to Bridge Road only to take traffic off Tequesta Drive. Mayor Capretta advised that he originally favored Bridge Road . because he did not want more traffic on Tequesta Drive, but had come to realize that the Municipal VILLAGE COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING MINUTES August 5, 2000 PAGE 16 Center would create less trips than any other use; and therefore now preferred Tequesta Drive. Ed Nelson commented he had attended the charrettes and had worked with the people present and with many others, and thought the proposed plan was excellent and was what the Village needed. Mr. Nelson noted that if the Municipal Center were located on Bridge Road that would free the site on Tequesta Drive for a commercial property that would generate more income for the Village, and that using the plan as presented by the architect, the Municipal Center would not be buried. Mr. Nelson stated either location would be fine. Mr. Nelson commented that when one senior citizen moved out that person frequently was replaced by three people, which meant the Village would have a growing population. Mr. Nelson complimented those • involved in the presentation. Dr. deHaven-Smith commented that he would add the excellent comments from this morning's meetings to his slide presentation. A show of hands to express preferences for each site indicated approximately 13 in favor of the Tequesta Drive site, while only three favored the Bridge Road location. IV . CO1~it7NICATION FR~I CITIZENS There were no additional communications from citizens. Dr. deHaven-Smith expressed appreciation for those who had attended and for their input. VII.
