COMMITTEE REPORTS A) Finance & Administration Committee; September 30, 1996 Village Manager Bradford reported that the primary purpose of this meeting had been to discuss the reverse osmosis treatment facility financing options. At the meeting it had been pointed out that ar. additional $300,000 would be required tc complete the final design and financing needed to be secured; however, subsequently the Finance Director had completed an analysis which indicated that the Village now had sufficient funds to provide financing from Retained Earnings of the Water Enterprise Fund. A general discussion had been held regarding problems facing the Village in its pursuit of additional water via reverse osmosis and the hurdles that the Town of Jupiter had instituted via their lawsuit and water rate dispute issues and objections to every permit sought by the Village to expand the water supply, and what impact that would have on financing and meeting time schedules. Options for increasing the cost of holding vacant land had also been reviewed, including assessments to the private property owners, and a meeting was scheduled during December to further review those options. Motion was made by Vice Mayor Schauer to approve the report of the Finance and Administration Committee for September 30, 1996. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Hansen. The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for Elizabeth A. Schauer - for Joseph N. Capretta - for Carl C. Hansen - for Michael R. Meder - for The motion was therefore passed and adopted. B) Redevelopment Committee; October 16, 1996 • Village Manager Bradford reported that the first item • Village Council Meeting Minutes November 14, 1996 Page 6 ------------------ reviewed was the Village's Master Plan Facilities Options. The Village Manager explained for benefit of the public that the number one priority of the Village Council for the current year was to address the facility needs for the Village Administration, Police and Fire Rescue Departments, since the lack of space was becoming detrimental to the morale of the work force. Options Caere reviewed for renovation, for new construction, and for rental space off-site. The Committee recommended to the Village Council ar. incremental concept whereby the process would begin by renting office space off-site at the Tequesta Corporate Center which would allow the Police Department to expand into the current office space used by Administration, and Fire Rescue would move into the eastern half of the annex building in the rear. The cost would be minimal in terms of the total cost of providing financing for all of the Village's needs. This • approach would allow the Village time to wait to determine the ultimate location of a contemplated new Village Hall; would provide needed space immediately; and the ccst was the most reasonable of all alternatives considered. This concept would also allow time to find ways to finance the much-needed Public Safety space improvements for Police and Fire Rescue. The Committee had voted to give Village Manager Bradford authority to secure a lease with Tequesta Corporate Center. Village Manager Bradford reported that this work was continuing and the Committee had met again a few days ago to consider the lease agreement and to give staff additional instructions relative to other alternatives for a new Fire Station and renovation of the current City Hall building for Police Department purposes. Councilmember Hansen, a member of the Committee, reported that he had been pleased with progress made by staff which had allowed work on this matter to continue at the recent meeting. Councilmember Capretta reported that an arrangement was being worked out with First United Bank so that Tequesta water customers could pay their water bills at the bank drive-in window or in the bank lobby, as well as at the current location. • • Village Council Meeting Minutes November 14, 1996 Page 7 ------------------ Motion was made by Councilmember Hansen to approve the report of the Redevelopment Committee for October 16, 1996. The motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Schauer. The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for Elizabeth A. Schauer - for Joseph N. Capretta - for Carl C. Hansen - for Michael R. Meder - for The motion was therefore passed and adopted. C) Finance & Administration Committee; October 30, 1996 Village Manager Bradford reported that this meeting had • been requested by the members of the Committee to hear details of the proposed purchase of two ambulances for the Fire Rescue Department, contemplated to be in the transport business as of January 1, 1997. A five-year analysis of ambulance transport service, proposed revisions to the EMS budget; and a Ten-Year Capital Replacement Program and associated financing options were reviewed. Staff had taken the position with the Committee that the best approach was to aim for a long- term goal of being able to purchase rolling stocY> by paying cash in the future. Option three out of approsimately ten options reviewed was the best to accomplish that long-term goal by paying a steady cash payment into a reserve fund with which to acquire equipment in the future. The Committee reviewed proposed ambulance ser~~ice rates and decided upon $310 per transport with a $6 per mile service fee, which was in line with other providers. Motion was made by Councilmember Hansen to approve the report of the Finance and P,dministration Committee for October 30, 1996. The motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Schauer. The vote on the motion was: • Ron T. Mackail _ for Elizabeth A. Schauer for • Village Council Meeting Minutes November 19, 1996 Page 8 ------------------ Joseph N. Capretta - for Carl C. Hansen - for Michael R. Meder - for The motion was therefore passed and adopted. VIII. DEVELOPMENT MATTERS A} Special Exception Public Hearing, Variance Public Hearing, and Site Plan Review for the Church of the Good Sheperd, 400 Seabrook Road, for the Construction of a Church Affiliated Elementary School (Grades K-5) and a Minor Addition to the Parish Hall. Church of the Good Sheperd, Applicant. (A Quasi-Judicial Hearing) • Upon inquiry by Mayor Mackail, Building Official Scott D. Ladd commented that he had received a modified site plan that afterncon, which none of the Councilmembers had had an opportunity to review. Mayor Mackail questioned Village Attorney Randolph as to whether the hearing should legally proceed because the Council and none of the neighbors present who had signed to speak on this matter had had an opportunity to review the changed site plan. Mr. Ladd verified that the Village Code contained a provision that a site plan must be submitted within a certain period of time prior to its consideration by the Village Council; and in this case the applicant had continued to look for ways to add more parking and the modified site plan only addressed parking and added 18 additional spaces to the previously submitted site plan. The Village Attorney advised that it was up to the Council as to whether the changes were substantive, or if they wished to hear the application tonight, and explained that they could consider only the portion of the site plan which was submitted on a timely basis and not hear the amendment. However, if the amendment resulted in a • less intense plan than the earlier submittal, then no th l h di d b t Att R d h ld b orney p e preju ce y a . an o one s ou . Village Council Meeting Minutes November 14, 1996 Page 9 ------------------ advised that often applicants would make concessions to the Village Council right at the meeting itself, which could be considered an amendment to the site plan. The Village Attorney stated that the matter caas one of prejudice: whether any members of the Council or the public felt prejudiced by the filing of ar~ amended site plan on such short notice, and Mr. Ladd's comments seemed to indicate that the amendment was for something less intense than was originally submitted. Mr. Ladd commented that Code required 131 parking spaces, the original site plan had 79, and the amendment would bring the number to 97, thereby reducing the amount of variance needed. Mayor Mackail polled the members of the Council, all of whom indicated they wished to proceed. 1) Swearing-In of Witnesses, if Required • The following people identified themselves and were sworn in by Village Clerk Manganiello: Phillip Crannel, with Gee and Jenson; Michele Burst, 19642 Red Maple Lane, Jupiter; Greg Behl, 10218 SE Banyan Way, Tequesta; Barbara M.

Golden Hawk; • Village Council Meeting Minutes November 14, 1996 Page 10 ------------------ 2) Disclosure of Ex-Parte Communications Councilmember Meder reported that he had driven the area of the propcsed project on Sunday morning and was on the property of the Episcopal Church, that he had visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Shirar and discussed the matter with them; after which he had viewed the church property from the Village Hall property. Councilmember Hansen reported that he had had communications from three citizens who lived close to the church and that he had visited with Mr. and Mrs. Shirar at their residence. Councilmember Capretta reported he had visited the site and discussed the matter with Mr. and Mrs. Shirar and someone at the church. Vice Mayor Schauer reported that on November 4 she had received a phone call from Maureen Pap telling her that this item was on the agenda and that she was going to call the rest of the Councilmembers; however, the Vice Mayor had told her that the hearing would be quasi-judicial and she would report Mrs. Pap's opinion. Mrs. Pap was unable to attend and asked that the Council vote in favor of the Church of the Good Shepherd, and commented that she felt an elementary school was needed in Tequesta. Vice Mayor Schauer reported she had received three letters, from Mr. and Mrs. Paul Paoli, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Shirar, and Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Bradley; and that she had visited Mr, and Mrs. Shirer's residence and then walked onto the site of the Church of the Good Sheperd. Mayor Mackail reported he alsc had received a phone call on November 10 and had received two letters, and had visited the site and Mr. and Mrs. Shirer's house and also had walked the site of the church. The letters received by the Mayor and Vice Mayor have been attached to and made a part of these minutes. Village Attorney Randolph asked whether each of the Councilmembers could base any decision made this evening on the evidence which was presented at the public hearing and not on anything heard outside the • public hearing. All Councilmembers responded affirmatively. • Village Council Meeting Minutes November 14, 1996 Page 11 ------------------ Building Official Scott D. Ladd explained that an accessory use to add a school was allowed in Tequesta's zoning districts and a special exception was needed to add the use to a use which was already a special excepticn use. A variance was needed because parking requirements could not be fully met. Mr. Ladd commented that the Village Code did not take into account that a church might not have all functions at one time so that all parking spaces would be needed; and the revised site plan had been done in order to lessen the amount of variance needed. William Wood, Attorney for Mr. and Mrs. Shirar, asked whether an opportunity would be gi~,ren for cross examination. Village Attorney Randolph explained that one of the elements afforded in a quasi-judicial hearing was the opportunity for cross examination of all those who testified. Robert Taylor, Rector of Church of the Good Sheperd, spoke for the applicant and explained that approval for an addition to the church was proposed which would accommodate grades one through five with up to 160 students as Gaell as the current kindergarden and pre-school classes housed in the church's existing buildings. Reverend Taylor reviewed various functions and uses of the church facilities by other members of the community. The preschool, started in 1993, had grown from seven to over 70 students, and many Village residents had requested that the school be extended to accommodate children in their elementary years. Reverend Taylor introduced Phil Crannell, a member of the church and an employee of Gee and Jenson, to continue the applicant's presentation. Attorney William Wood, representing Mr. and Mrs. Robert Shirar, requested the opportunity to conduct cross examination after each person had spoken rather than later in the proceedings, to which • Village Attorney Randolph was agreeable. Mr. Wood questioned Building Official Ladd as to whether the • Village Council Meeting Minutes November 14, 1996 Page 12 distance on the site plans was shown as 35' from the back of the building. Village Attorney Randolph commented that Mr. Ladd's testimony had not been that detailed; that a presentation was about to be gi~Ten which would provide details; and that questions should be directed to those who made the presentation. Attorney Wood agreed so long as he was given an opportunity to question the plans. Village Attorney Randolph responded that Attorney Wood would have that opportunity. Attorney Wood then questioned Reverend Taylor as to whether playground space had been provided for 160 students, to which the response was that a grass area had been provided for soccer and basketball and other sports, and that use of Constitution Park was also envisioned. Reverend Taylor stated that he did not know the size cf the playground area. In response • to P.ttorney Wood's question whether kindergarden was included in the current pre-school, Peverend Taylor explained that kindergarden was considered a part of pre-school, and that the pre-school had been approved by the Village. F.everend Taylor described the current playground areas and explained that another playground was a part of the proposed new construction. Attorney Wood questioned whether any complaints had been received regarding the current pre-school, to which Reverend Taylor responded that one complaint had been received from neighbors regarding noise from the playground, and that he had discussed the matter with both the man and the woman and had invited them to come to the church to discuss the matter further which they had done. Attorney Wood questioned whether the church was in compliance with the Village Codes as to setbacks, etc., to which Reverend Taylor responded he had no knowledge of that information but assumed that they were in compliance. Attorney Wood stated that the applicant was requesting a variance not based on current hardship but on a hardship if something could not be built in the future. Reverend Taylor agreed in that the church would not be able to have • grades 1 through 5 which they would like to add. Attorney Wood questioned whether the church could • Village Council Meeting Minutes November 14, 1996 Page 13 exist with their church program as it presently existed; Reverend Taylor responded that he thought they could. Attorney Wood questioned whether there was a regular iaeekly church program. Reverend Taylor explained that there were many weekly programs, including Crafty Ladies who made crafts, various groups which met for education, a thrift shop, as well as other outside groups who used the church facilities cahen available, usually during the evening. During the day, on Monday a prayer group, a women's group and a book study group met at different times of the day; on Tuesday there was a Pastoral Care meeting and Crafty Ladies meeting; on Wednesday a Bible study group and a group who made up lunches for people in the west Jupiter area met; on Thursday the choir met in the evening, as well as other groups which met from time tc time. Attorney • Wood stated he had no further questions at that time. Phil Crannell provided a slide presentation as well as information presented on boards set up on easels. Mr. Crannell reviewed the site plan and pointed out locations of present buildings and playground area. Mr. Crannell reviewed the process the applicant had gone through in deciding where the newly proposed building should be located, and snowed the site plan with the improvements requested, which included the school building, playground areas which conformed to HRS requirements, parking, and a small storage shed in the rear of the existing parish hall. The new school building caould be located as far as possible from the residential area and the existing playground would also be relocated; the building ccnformed to setback requirements, drainage would be improved with the flow directed away from the Village Hall prcperty and contained on the church property. Mr. Crannell explained that the amended site plan had taken advantage of the new Village code allowing 25% of the parking spaces to be compact spaces and that the additional spaces had • been added in the overflow section and at the entrance to the Hall. Vice Mayor Schauer questioned • Village Council Meeting Minutes November 14, 1996 Page 14 ------------------ whether the retention area would be a pond, to which Mr. Crannell responded that it would be a depressed area which should never have standing water, and would be basically 18 inches in depth. Councilmember Meder asked for clarification regarding the area proposed for extra parking, playground use, and retention area. Mr. Crannell explained that there would be very little parking used at one time, that approximately 50 of the children (pre-school) left at noon; and that on rainy days 2-3 inches of water might collect for a small period of time but cars would have plenty of other spaces ire which to park. Ccuncilmember Meder questioned whether automobiles would be coming into the circle at noon to pick up preschoolers and expressed concern that children would be walking in between parked cars. Mr. Crannell explained that although extra spaces were designated in the cul-de- sac that in reality those spaces Caere not needed except on Sundays, so that on weekdays parents could use the cul-de-sac when picking up their children. Mr. Crannell presented a parking space chart which shcwed usage per day and indicated that a considerable amount of parking would be unused on each school day. The Tequesta Village Council held a meeting at the if all 131 required spaces were built. Mr. Crannell requested that the Village Council consider the reasonableness of approving 97 spaces since there would still be unused spaces each day. Councilmember Meder questioned the safety of children going to their parents' cars when the parents came to pick them up with cars parked on the cul-de-sac, and the usefulness of parking cars in an area where water was intended to collect. Mr. Crannell respcnded that there would be no traffic impact on Seabrook Road from this usage, and that the site did have additional room to address circulation which the applicant would be happy to address if given safety criteria by the Village. Mr. Crannell described the location of the proposed 12' x 21' stcrage addition which would be . constructed in the architectural style used in the existing buildings. A floor plan of the proposed • Village Council Meeting Minutes November 14, 1996 Page 15 ------------------ classrooms was presented, and the differences which would be made per the amended plan were described. Mr. Crannell explained that the original square footage and setbacks remained the same; there was no significant deviation from the intent of the original application; and the amendment had lessened the variance requested by offering more parking. Building elevations were presented. Councilmember Capretta commented that he believed parking was not the issue and that the village standards for parking did not really apply to the church because they were not used in the way they were intended, and efforts to increase parking should not be required since adding spaces in the cul-de-sac endangered children instead of making the situation better. Councilmember Capretta explained • that the real issue was cahether the school could be built on existing church property in such a way that it would be tolerable to the neighbors, and that was the issue which should be addressed. Councilmember Capretta cited noise from the school and from the playground as the real issue, and commented that the school was facing the neighbors, therefore the sound might go in theer direction; and suggested turning the building to direct sound towards the church, and placing the playground in an area where it would be least offensive to the neighbors. Constitution Park was suggested as a possible playground. Mayor Mackail expressed agreement with Councilmember Capretta, and commented that he believed it was unfair to the residents present not to have had an opportunity to review the amended site plan which had been provided to the Councilmembers. Vice Mayor Schauer suggested a reconfiguration utilizing a parking area north of the church and a playground in the space used for overflow parking. Mr. Crannell presented another chart which addressed only the existing spaces and indicated that there were still available spaces left over every day that the school would be in session. The Village Council requested • that the noise issue be addressed without the parking. • Village Council Meeting Minutes November 14, 1996 Page 16 ------------------ Mr. Crannell explained that if additional parking T.aas not required, the playground could be moved to the heavily foliaged area and other activities could take place behind the parish hall, and suggested a vegetation buffer and screen wall to buffer ncise. Landscape Architect Donaldson Hearing responded to Councilmemher Hansen's suggestion that a berm might be established to shield noise along the eastern edge of the property, ar~d explained that the only constraint would be that a berm must be fairly wide in order to be effective. Mr. Hearing suggested a small berm with a hedge on top and a fence behind it to provide stability, or a wood fence and hedge. Mr. Hearing commented that landscaping was the best ncise buffer, and agreed that a hedge would have to be installed at sufficient height to buffer noise and recommended a chain link fence along the property line. Councilmember Capretta commented that a natural barrier now existed. Mr. Crannell explained that a utility easement existed which would restrict the type of fencing used, and that with the cooperation regarding parking that several solutions crould be available for reconfiguring the site plan that were not possible when extra parking had to be added. Attorney Wood questioned the actual square footage available; it was explained to him that this discussion caas regarding finding a possible solution to the noise problem and that no definite decision was being made. Mayor Mackail indicated that the real issue was safety and called for comments from the residents. Attorney Wood questioned the radius of the cul-de-sac, which Mr. Crannell explained was 45' and was in conformance with Fire Department requirements. Attorney Wood commented that a letter from the Fire Chief indicated a minimum of 50' radius was desired, to which Mr. Crannell responded that could be done, and that the type of construction proposed did not require fire lanes. Robert Shirar, 84 Camillia Circle, explained that he was a retired education administrator who had caorked 30 years in Palm Beach County; that private schools • Village Council Meeting Minutes November 14, 1996 Page 17 did not have to conform to public school requirements; that the playground was right next to his back yard; that noise was directed to his yard; that the State requirement for 200 students was a 4- acre site and this site was only 3.7 acres; and concluded that the size was too small to accommodate a school. Mr. Shirar stated for the record that he had a petition with the names of all the neighbors opposing this project but had forgotten to bring it to this meeting. Mary Lou Shirar, 84 Camillia Circle, stated that she was a retired associate professor with the University of Florida assigned to Palm Beach County for thirty years and had worked with 4-H youth, which meant she loved children and believed in education; however was concerned with the size and • noise, and stated that the neighbors would have seven hours of chaos and noise each day. Mrs. Shirar expressed concern that the neighborhood might deteriorate because of the noise; and thanked the Village Council for their considerationa and for their visits to the site. Richard Reinke, 10661 SE LePark, Tequesta, spoke in support of the Good Sheperd School addition; stated that there was a real need for additional independent education facilities within the area since there were long waiting lists at Benjamin School and St. Marks; commented that his daughter had recei~red many benefits by attending an independent school; and requested the support of the Village Council for this proposal. Richard Carberry, 14 Ridgewood Circle, Tequesta, expressed opposition to the project; stated that the finest elementary school in Palm Beach County-- Limestone Creek--was available for Tequesta children; that enrollment at Limestone Creek and another private school was down; that the church was now in violation of their original application which was appraoved for a pre-school with 45 students; • Village Council Meeting Minutes November 14, 1996 Page 18 ------------------ that more notice of this meeting should have been given residents; that he agreed with Mr. and Mrs. Shirar that the site was tco small. Mr. Carberry tried to play a tape to illustrate the noise problem TJ~hich he explained had been recorded in his back yard; however, the tape player did not work. Greg Beh1,10218 SE Banyan Way, Tequesta, explained the utility easement which had been cleared by the utility company and if a hedge or other landscaping was installed that would create a better barrier than currently existed. Mr. Betel commented that a 1959 plan had indicated a future school at the exact location now being considered. Mr. Betel stated that at the present time the church had no plans to go up to 8th grade at this school; that there had been a high demand for this school; and that there was a • group looking for land in this area to establish a junior high and a high school, and that the church would then be able to feed their students to that school. Lorraine Carberry, 14 Ridgewood Circle, commented that she and her husband had found the noise to be intolerable and could not open their windows until 1 P.M. Mrs. Carberry explained that a fence was supposed to have been constructed along the property line, and that they had requested it be built, but the church had not cooperated. Mrs. Carberry expressed total opposition to the project. John Price, 12 Ridgewood Circle, expressed opposition to the project because of the lack of size which could degrade the quality of the residential area. Dorothy Campbell, 4 Tradewinds Circle, explained that she owned approximately 70~ of the property along the southern edge, Gallery Square North. Ms. Campbell commented en the need for the school in the community; that she lived across from a large • maintenance shed and had lived across from a school • Village Council Meeting Minutes November 14, 1996 Page 19 ------------------ caith 600 students in the past; that in Scandanavia senior housing was being built next to playgrounds and schools; that the church had been a wonderful neighbor to Gallery Square North; requested that any redesign place the children closer to Gallery Square North; and stated that she would donate the money to build a fence and install a hedge to buffer the sound. Wendy Williams, Sound, explained church; that the neighbors for the reaffirmed their solution. 13113 SE Hobe Hills Drive, Hobe that she was employed at the church wished to work with the betterment of the community; and willingness to work to find a Barbara Behl, 10218 SE Banyan Way, Tequesta, spoke • in support of the school and willingness to make every effort to buffer noise from the neighbors so that they would not be upset; and that the school was needed because of the current state of the public schools. Jerry Bressen, Director at Good Sheperd School, stated she wanted the school to be successful and pickup and drop-off policy required parents to accompany the children into the school and school personnel brought the children to the parents' cars at the close of the school session. Accreditatio for the school would be under the Florida Council of Independent Schools, the Episcopal Diosese, and the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Ms. Bressen statedthat the school would not have 200 students, and that the neighbors' concerns would be addressed. Elizabeth Barden, 68 River Drive, expressed support for the school and the comments of everyone who had spoken in support of the project. Ms. Barden expressed her desire to cooperate to make the neighbors happy. • . Village Council Meeting Minutes November 14, 1996 Page 20 ------------------ Mayor Mackail expressed thanks to Mrs. Campbell for her donation for the fence and hedge. Michelle Burst, 19642 Red Maple Lane, stated that although she was not a member of the church she did support the school and felt it would make the Village a better place in which to bring up children. Carol Beck, Jean Dancer, and Frank Hall stated they had not been sworn in, were in favor of the school, and their comments had been made by others.

Mayor Mackail requested that Building Official Ladd write a letter to the affected residents. Councilmember Capretta commented regarding Country Club Drive that a meeting had been held recently before a mediator, which Councilmember Meder had attended; and that his comments had led residents to believe that there was a difference of opinion among the Village Councilmembers regarding Country Club Drive. Councilmember Capretta explained that the Village Council had agreed to follow a course of action which basically limited the use of Country Club Drive without • taking some of the drastic measures recommended by the Task Force. Councilmember Capretta stated that the Village • Village Council Meeting Minutes November 14, 1996 Page 33 ------------------ Council had openly discussed the options, and that he did not understand why Councilmember Meder would believe that the other Councilmembers did not agree. Councilmember Meder responded that he had said that Tequesta Drive was in imminent danger of being 4 lanes, not Country Club Drive, and that in ten years future development mighty force making Country Club Drive 4 lanes. Councilmember Meder recalled that at the April 16 Finance and Administration meeting the options recommended by the Task Force had been discussed and that Police Chief Roderick and the Village Manager had reported that nearly all the items were not possible, and he believed he had said that he was in favor of making Country Club Drive one way ir~ either direction from Tequesta Drive to the county line; however, that proposal had been changed to one way from Tdorth Place to the county line. Councilmember Meder explained that he had been in favor of spreading the traffic burden throughout the Village, which could have been • acted upon at the time the Village Council had had an opportunity to act on a Planning Ordinance. Councilmember Meder stated that the residents' opinion of one-waying the entire length of Country Club Drive had not been addressed. After further discussion, Councilmember Capretta commented that positions taken in public should first be brought before the Village Council to find out whether the Councilmembers were in favor. A request was made that staff determine whether the accusations made regarding Church of the Good Sheperd being in violation of the number of approved students were true, and if so, to have the Code Enforcement Officer deal with the situation. If the church was in compliance then that message should be made public knowledge. Village Manager Bradford explained that Building Official Ladd would prepare an agreement stating the number of students allowed under the new approval and that document would be the basis for future checks by staff to determine compliance. Fire Chief Weinand reported that the annual Fire Department inspection caould show the number of students per teacher and could document any violations. • XI.
