IV. PRESENTATION OF OUTLINE FOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN An introduction of the elements that will be presented with changes made to the Village of Tequesta Comprehensive Plan, . as required by the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) process. (Presentation by Mr. Jack Horaiman, Planning Consultant for the Village of Tequesta; Mr. Scott D. Ladd, Director of Coamauaity Development, Village of Tequesta) A. Identification of Issues/Changes for Comprehensive Plaa Elements: 1. Intergovernmental Coordination 2. Capital Improvement 3. Future Laad Use Building Official Scott D. Ladd announced that this was the seventh of a series of Local Planning Agency meetings working with elements of the Comprehensive Plan, and that the only remaining element was Transportation, for which a meeting would be scheduled in the near future. Intergovernmental Coordination • Mr. Horniman explained that this element had required very few updates. Policy 1.3.1 been updated to delete • Village Local Planning Agency Workshop Meeting Minutes November 20, 1997 Page 3 ------------------ agencies or committees no longer in existence and to add the Countywide Intergovernmental Coordination Program. Policy 1.3.2 had been deleted. New state requirements for dredge spoil sites had necessitated the addition of Objective 1.7.0 and Policies 1.7.1 and 1.7.2. Mr. Horniman explained that the village had no dredge spoil sites. Capital Improvement Element Mr. Horniman explained that the Capital Improvement Element and the Intergovernmental Coordination Element were typically the last elements because they draw from the other elements. Level of service standards established in other elements were reflected in the Capital Improvement Element. Policy 1.5.2 had been • changed to reflect the adoption of the concurrency management ordinance. In Policy 1.5.3 (b} the Traffic Circulation Element had been changed to Transportation Element, and Drainage had been changed to Stormwater Management, the new titles designated by the State. Mr. Horniman referred to Table CI-1 on page CI6 which listed all level of service standards established for the other elements, and explained that Table CI-2 had been extracted from the currently adopted 5-year Capital Improvements Budget. vice Mayor Hansen questioned why sanitary sewer level of service standards had all increased when water consumption was down. Mr. Horniman explained that one reason was that calibration problems had been discovered, and the calibrations might have been wrong five years ago; and another reason was the use of new population projections based on new growth patterns. Mr. Horniman explained that the Capital Improvements Element was the one element in the Comprehensive Plan which could be updated annually without going through a Comprehensive Plan Amendment process, and that placing • these numbers into the element did not require the Village to use those numbers. Discussion ensued • Village Local Planning Agency Workshop Meeting Minutes November 20, 1997 Page 4 ------------------ regarding consumption of water dropping while sanitary sewer figures remained high, during which Councilmember Cameron pointed out that many residents had installed wells for irrigation, which had affected consumption but not sewers. Vice Mayor Hansen questioned why the Village had to have such a large storage capacity if consumption had decreased, to which Village Manager Bradford responded that without a larger amount of storage, staff could not spread out the activity of producing water at the plant, and by being able to store the water, they could spread the production hours over time as opposed to having periods when work must be constant just to keep up with the demand peaks throughout the day. Future Land IIse_Element • Mr. Horniman explained that he had brought back an amendment to the Future Land Use element dealing with schools: Goal 2.0.0, Objective 2.1.0, and Policy 2.1.1. New requirements under Florida Statute call for development of criteria for school siting. DCA staff had met with a Palm Beach County group to develop Goal 2.0.0 as well as a number of objectives and policies which could go into Comprehensive Plans. At a minimum, Goal 2.0.0, Objective 2.1.0, and Policy 2.1.1 were to be used. Mr. Horniman explained that he had only used the minimum requirements because Tequesta had no great development potential, especially for development of schools. Vice Mayor Hansen discussed Policy 1.15.2, which stated that 'annexation .shall discourage the proliferation of urban sprawl ; and explained that at a conference he had attended, urban sprawl had been defined exactly as what had happened on Country Club Drive: people who need to work in an urban area but who do not want to pay the taxes of living in a municipality so they purchase property outside the village, creating traffic problems within the Village. Mr. Horniman responded that the • Village should continue to pursue annexation, but technically did not have urban sprawl because the Village • Village Local Planning Agency Workshop Meeting Minutes November 20, 1997 Page 5 ------------------ did not create this problem, and gave an example of true urban sprawl. V. ANY OTHER MATTERS Mr. Horniman commented that at the last meeting the Sanitary Sewer Element had been discussed, and that Policy 1.1.7 basically read 'The current utilization of septic tanks within the Village is deemed to be an acceptable alternative.' In the update, qualifiers had been removed which were out of date regarding initiating a water quality study. Mr. Horniman recommended that the following statement be added: 'The current utilization of septic tanks within the Village is deemed to be an acceptable alternative . presuming that State water quality standards are being met.' Mayor Schauer inquired whether a quality check of septic tanks had been added as discussed by Councilmember Capretta at the last meeting. Mr. Horniman and Mr. Ladd responded that would not be in the Comprehensive Plan but would be an Administrative action. Village Manager Bradford expressed his opinion that Councilmember Capretta probably did not still want an inspection program after he had viewed the film on septic tanks. Village Manager Bradford questioned the terminology other public facilities used in Policy 2.1.1, and was referred to the description given in Table FLU-1 Future Land Use. Mr. Horniman commented that even though educational was a term defined by the rules, the Village did not have an educational use. After discussion, the term public utility facilities was inserted in the definition of Public Buildings & Grounds. Mr. Horniman clarified that the Future Land Use Map defined what was wanted in the future; however, since Tequesta was so built out, existing uses would be the • same as future uses except in a few instances such as the village Center area and some others. village Manager • Village Local Planning Agency Workshop Meeting Minutes November 20, 1997 Page 6 ------------------ Bradford questioned whether future well sites areas could be designated on the Future Land Use Map as Public Buildings & Grounds. Mr. Horniman responded that utilities could be added to that definition unless the well sites were in residential areas. Village Manager Bradford commented that the engineer would need to indicate the locations, and asked whether the sites should be indicated on the Future Land Use Map if their locations were known so that everyone would be reminded that those sites must be preserved. Mr. Horniman commented he would need to see where the sites were located, since those located in the area of the new facility would already be covered under Public Buildings & Grounds, and any located in the mixed-use district would already be covered because a mixture of land uses were allowed. Mr. Ladd commented that an Objective 1.2.0 was going to be added in • the Potable Water Element referencing well preservation sites. Village Manager Bradford asked whether it would be appropriate to indicate the specific area to be preserved for future well sites on the Future Land Use Map, called Public Buildings & Grounds. Mr. Horniman responded that would be appropriate. After further discussion, the term public utility facilities was added to the definition of Public Buildings & Grounds. Vice Mayor Hansen questioned whether the term excludin q tourist accommodations in the definition of Residential meant that no Bed & Breakfast would be allowed in the residential areas. It was clarified that was true, but that such a business would be allowed in the mixed-use district. Mr. Horniman clarified that the Village would be adopting only the amendments and not the support documentation. Mr. Horniman expressed concern that more time might be needed to complete the Transportation Element because of the amount of work necessary and because the staff person who • had been working on this project was no longer employed by the Village. Mr. Horniman explained that he had discussed • Village Local Planning Agency Workshop Meeting Minutes November 20, 1997 Page 7 ------------------ this with State representatives who had assured him the due date would not be enforced for small communities. Mr. Horniman clarified that he still hoped to meet the deadline; but wanted the Village Council to be aware of the possibility that might not happen. Timing for future meetings and the process necessary to meet the final due date were discussed. Mr. Horniman explained that although the support documentation would not be adopted, it must be sent in to support the amendments, and the problem was having time to complete all the documentation. A brief discussion ensued regarding mass transit and bike paths. Mr. Horniman explained that there was grant money available for bike paths. • The next meeting was set for the third Thursday in December, which would be December 18, 1997, at 7 p.m. vz .
