Rerycled Paper Village Council Meeting Minutes December 2, 1993 Page 2 IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS A) Ordinance 464 - Final Reading - Amending Ordinance No. 355, as Amended, the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance of the Village of Tequesta at Section 1C, Relating to Supplemental Regulations, Item (L), so as to Provide Restrictions Relating to the Parking of Trucks and Recreational Vehicles in the R-lA Zoning District. 1) Ordinance Read by Title: Attorney Randolph read Ordinance 464 by Title. 2) Overview of Ordinance: Village Manager Bradford explained that the above Ordinance applies only to the R-1A District (Tequesta Country Club, Bay View Terrace, Shady Lane, Bay Harbor, and a few lots along the River south of Tequesta Drive). It provides for additional restrictions relative to the parking of trucks and recreation vehicles within the R-1A Zoning District. The Ordinance provides that certain vehicles will have additional screening requirements in order to address concerns in that area. There were no additional changes since the last Reading. 3) Village Council and Public Comments: Citizen Harold Hutchinson felt this Ordinance was changing enforcement responsibility for Homeowner Associations (HOAs) from the HOAs to the Village of Tequesta. Attorney Randolph stated that though the request for these changes came from an individual at an HOA, many of the restrictions which have been incorporated into the Ordinance are indeed similar, if not the same, as certain HOA restrictions. Mrs. Hattie Siegel felt an Ordinance which addressed only a particular part of the City was a violation of the Constitution of the United States in that it separated communities. Village Council Meeting Minutes December 2, 1993 Page 3 4) Motion to Adopt/Reject Ordinance on Final Reading: Councilmember Collings moved to approve the Final Reading of Ordinance 464. Councilmember Schauer seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for William E. Burckart - for Liz Schauer - for Earl L.

The present Ordinance gives much latitude and flexibility as to what the Village Council and a potential developer might do in the downtown area. The mix of use has much flexibility. Dwelling unit density is 18 units/acre for dwellings, -- except ACLFs which are at 24 units/acre, with height restrictions to six stories or 84 feet. The Ordinance otherwise tracks other Zoning Ordinances of the Village. Scott Ladd warned, however, that it would be possible through the revised Ordinance to place something such as a WalMart in the downtown area, even though the emphasis of the Ordinance is towards dwelling units. Attorney Randolph added that this Ordinance now imposes minimal controls within the downtown development area, almost to the extent that it would allow the market to dictate what would be developed in the downtown area. Developer Gary Van Brock submitted a letter of seven suggestions regarding the above-referenced revised Ordinance. Scott Ladd stated he agreed with some of those comments, while other of the comments did not need to be addressed since the Code was okay the way it was written regarding those issues. Scott Ladd recommended that the Village Council create some reasonable criteria for special exception uses to be applied to an area that is over 3500 square feet. .~, Village Council Meeting Minutes December 2, 1993 Page 5 ------------------------------- 3) Village Council and Public Comments: Vice Mayor Burckart suggested: 1) on page 9 of the Ordinance, the 50-foot right-of-way be changed to a 60- foot right of way. He felt a 50-foot right-of-way with curb and gutter was too expensive a project, and until something starts happening in the downtown area, he did not feel this Ordinance would ever work. Scott Ladd explained that if a developer wanted to develop a piece of land as a planned mixed-use development, they could, through the negotiation process, forego the typical curb and gutter; 2) on page 8 (i), Special Exception Uses, spell out planned commercial development and planned residential development. Scott Ladd stated that had been addressed by Gary Van Brock and would be done; page 6 (f) 1. , change strictly adhered to to read considered, and page 7 (g)1., Urban Design Objectives, change guidelines to considered; Delete 9 on page 3, Village Serving, in its entirety. Scott Ladd reminded the Village Council that the changes which have been made to this Ordinance make it very watered down. Mayor Mackail asked if the Ordinance was being changed to benefit Gary Van Brock or if it was being changed to benefit the Village of Tequesta. Gary Van Brock felt the Ordinance has come a long ways from what it was initially and felt the flexibility he has been looking for is there, and with the changes made this evening, he is in full favor of the Ordinance. Wade Griest felt the Village would benefit by finding a single large landowner (i.e., Frenchmen's Creek Developers, or Trump or Berg Developers) for the downtown property, then sell it off. Village Manager Bradford stated that would be ideal, and the Village did pursue that, but no one of that caliber has come forward. Harold Hutchinson stated that he felt the Village needed to be less restrictive and less dictatorial with potential developers for the downtown area. Edwin Nelson, owner of the Fashion Mall downtown, and who served on the initial study group for the downtown area, felt the new Ordinance was a big improvement over the initS.al once Mr. Nelson ~tat~d however, that, as a property owner in this district, he objects to being tied in with any Special Taxing District which may arise in the future. Village Council Meeting Minutes ~u.~~ December 2, 1993 Page 6 ------------------------------- Village Manager Bradford stated that the outline of the mixed-use district may follow, approximately, the boundaries of the Unit of Development for the Northern Palm Beach County Water Control District, but that this Ordinance, in and of itself, is unrelated to the District and any taxing. Attorney Randolph was concerned that the Village Serving portion of the Ordinance was removed, and stated he did not recall that recommendation being made. Village Manager Bradford felt any reference to Village Serving needed to stay in the Ordinance in order to establish a threshold for what is believed to be Village Serving, but remove anything that disallows advertising. 4) Motion to Adopt/Reject Ordinance on First Reading: Councilmember Collings moved to approve the First Reading of Ordinance 465 as amended. Vice Mayor Burckart seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for William E. Burckart - for Liz Schauer - for Earl L.

Dennis Foltz and Wendy DiSesa, Palm Beach County. Kathy Dolewski, a Senior Planner with the Palm Beach County Planning Division, gave a presentation on the initial results and recommendations of the Urban Form Study, which considered what the Palm Beach County area (its unincorporated areas as well as municipalities) may be like around the year 2020. Many of the growth issues and problems which will present themselves are things that can begin to be dealt with today. It is anticipated population will double in size in the next 20-30 years, and is necessary to consider how to accommodate and distribute that growth, and the impact it will have on the roadways, conservation, and parks. It is felt that the County and municipalities must work together on this decisionmaking. A slide presentation was given on the overhead projector showing different options for the future. B) Ordinance - First Reading - Amending Chapter 10 of the Code of Ordinances Health and Sanitation, at Section 10- 18, Sections (a), (b) and (d) Relating to Unlawful Growth; Amending Sections 10-19 and 10-20 Relating to Periods of Time Within Which to Abate Violations; Providing Amendments so as to Provide Notice to Mortgagees of Record. (Staff Recommends Approval). Attorney Randolph read the Ordinance by Title: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQIIESTA, PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 10 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES,HEALTH AND SANITATION, AT SECTION 10-18 SECTIONS (a), (b) AND (d) RELATING TO UNLAWFUL GROWTH; AMENDING SECTIONS 10-19 AND 10-20 RELATING TO PERIODS OF TIME WITHIN WHICH TO ABATE VIOLATIONS; PROVIDING AMENDMENTS SO AS TO PROVIDE NOTICE TO MORTGAGEES OF RECORD; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE." Village Manager Bradford pointed out that this Ordinance was reviewed by, and is a result of, the review of Code Enforcement procedures of the Village, by the Public Safety Committee. The Ordinance does the following: Village Council F Meeting Minutes December 2, 1993 Page 9 ------------------------------- o Relative to weeds, grass or undergrowth may only reach a height of 10" as opposed to the previous 12" allowed by Code. o Property owners are now granted 10 days to remedy or abate violations of the Code. Previously, property owners were granted 15 days to abate. o Upon placement of a lien, the Village is now required to notify the mortgagee(s) of record. This is anticipated to cause property owners to satisfy liens and/or abate Code violations to avoid action by their mortgage holders. Corrections made to the Ordinance were as follows: Page 1, Section 1(a), second line, should read "..parcel or tract of land with or without improvements constructed..." Page 2, Section 4(c), second line should read, "..within ten (10) days from the date of receipt of the notice, or...'~ Page 3 , top paragraph, third 1 ine should read, ".. to enter the premises and take such steps reasonably necessary..." Page 3, last paragraph, last line should read, "The Village Clerk shall also notify mortgagees..." Page 4, Section 8, second paragraph, fourth to last line should end at "methods.", deleting the rest of the sentence. Vice Mayor Burckart felt it was absurd to change allowed weeds, grass and undergrowth height to 10" from 12", feeling it would cause an enforcement nightmare. The Village Council agreed to leave it at 12". Councilmember Collings moved to approve the First Reading of the Ordinance as amended. Councilmember Schauer seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for William E. Burckart - for Earl L. Collings - for Liz Schauer - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. Village Council Meeting Minutes December 2, 1993 Page 10 C) Ordinance - First Reading - Creating Tequesta Stormwater Utility. (Staff Recommends Approval). Village Manager Bradford explained that the Public Works Committee has unanimously recommended that Tequesta create a Stormwater Utility, which is a funding mechanism for dealing strictly with stormwater. The primary particulars to be considered in the creation of a Stormwater Utility are the Federal Clean Water Act, and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), resulting in enormous and inescapable costs to Tequesta. When updating its Comprehensive Plan, Tequesta will have to comply with the new State water policies and those of the South Florida Water Management District, relative to the Surface Water Improvement and Management Act, imposing additional costs on Tequesta. Tequesta's Consulting Engineer, Richard Staudinger of Gee & Jenson, was in attendance to explain further the concept of, and give a thumbnail sketch of, a stormwater utility. Mr. Staudinger pointed out that whether or not Tequesta creates a stormwater utility, it will still have stormwater assessments from ENCON. The stormwater utility concept is a user-fee concept, charged per amount of runoff from the user's property - the more runoff, the greater the fee. A stormwater utility equitably distributes the cost, only paid for by those who actually use the system. Attorney Randolph read the Ordinance by Title: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, CREATING A STORMWATER UTILITY SYSTEM; SPECIFYNG THE PURPOSES, RATES, BILLING METHODS AND CONTRIBUTIONS FOR SAID SYSTEM; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE." Attorney Randolph pointed out that this Ordinance merely creates the stormwater utility. A subsequent Ordinance would be necessary to address rates. Village Council Meeting Minutes ~" ~~ December 2 , 19 9 3 Page 11 ------------------------------- This Ordinance was patterned after those of other municipalities. Some minor modifications will include: o Page 4, third paragraph, should read, ~~Director means the chief administrative officer of the utility as recommended by the Village Manager and confirmed by the Village Council.~~ o Page 5, third paragraph from bottom, shall read: ~~Stormwater management utility board shall mean a board consisting of three to five members appointed by the Village Council who shall hear appeals of rate adjustments an8 recommend to the Village Council capital projections and budget priorities for the utility.~~ Councilmember Collings moved to approve, with amendments as noted, the Ordinance on First Reading. Councilmember Schauer seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for William E. Burckart - for Earl L. Collings - for Liz Schauer - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. Attorney Randolph left the meeting at 9:20 p.m. D) Consideration of Tequesta Equity Study Commission Appointments. (Staff Recommends Approval). Village Manager Bradford explained that in order for the Village to amend its Occupational License Fee structure, it was first necessary for the Village Council to create an Equity Study Commission. That being accomplished, it is now necessary to appoint members to that Commission. Several individuals have been asked to serve, but only one (Edwin Nelson) has responded and agreed to serve. The Village Council suggested that the three other candidates who have been asked to serve be urged to respond before the next Village Council meeting. village Council ~~ Meeting Minutes December 2, 1993 Page 12 ------------------------------- Councilmember Collings moved to appoint Edwin Nelson to the Equity Study Commission.

(Staff Recommends Approval). Village Manager Bradford read Resolution No. 5-93/94 by Title: "A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, REQUESTING THAT THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION SUPPORT AND CONGRESS PASS MEANINGFUL LEGISLATION TO END THE PRACTICE OF UNFUNDED MANDATES,R AND TO INCLUDE IN ANY FUTURE MANDATE, PROVISIONS REQUIRING LOCAL GOVERNMENT INPUT, COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS AND SCIENTIFICALLY SOUND ASSESSMENTS OF PURPORTED HEALTH, SAFETY OR ENVIRONMENTAL ~,,,_ RISR."

The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for William E. Burckart - for Earl L. Collings - for Liz Schauer - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. IX. COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITIZENS A) Hattie Siegel complained of the cost she must pay when she gets copies of records from the Village, paying 15 cents for 14 x 8.5 - one side, and no more than 5 cents for each two- sided duplicate copy. Village Clerk Manganiello pointed out that the Florida Statute recommends a 15 cent charge for each copy. The Village charges 15 cents for the first ten copies and 10 cents for each copy thereafter. Mayor Mackail pointed out to Mrs. Siegel that the Village has acted in accordance with the prescribed law and that she's getting a deal, not an overcharge. B) John Cunningham asked for a status report regarding the lights being taken down from the baseball field which were recommended by him to be placed on the basketball court. Village Manager Bradford stated that since the Parks and Recreation Director has been out on vacation, that subject matter has not yet been addressed. X. ANY OTHER MATTERS A) Councilmember Schauer stated she disagreed with the letter sent to the Village from the Board of County Commissioners, regarding the County's request to have all fees waived which are connected with the development of the Tequesta Branch Library. The County is requesting a decision from Tequesta on this matter by December 28. Mrs. Schauer felt since Tequesta donated the land the library is to be built on, and the Village residents have already paid for the Library, no fees should be waived. Mayor Mackail felt a Special Village Council Workshop would be necessary to discuss this issue. Village Council Meeting Minutes ~.,._ December 2, 1993 Page 14 B) Councilmember Schauer reported that the Palm Beach County School Board has scheduled a date on which the Jupiter High School Plan will be presented - Wednesday, January 19, 1994 at 6:00 p.m. She requested that as many Village Councilmembers as possible attend. C) Village Manager Bradford presented to the Village Council a memorandum from Police Chief Roderick regarding new police cars scheduled in this year's Budget. The Village has received a purchase option from Don Reid Ford of Maitland, Florida to purchase two new 1994 Ford Crown Victoria Police Pursuit vehicles at last year's price, offering a savings of $982. Councilmember Collings moved to approve the purchase of the above referenced vehicles. Vice Mayor Burckart seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for William E. Burckart - for Earl L. Collings - for Liz Schauer - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. D) Village Manager Bradford reported that he has received a letter from the Florida Department of Transportation which states they will implement an access management program to modify the existing median openings of certain State projects, which include U.S. Highway One, from north of the Loxahatchee River to County Line Road. There is concern about the impact of this on Tequesta's landscaped medians. There is a meeting scheduled to take place concerning this issue on Monday, December 6 at 10:00 a.m. at the Florida D.O.T. District Office, located at 3400 West Commercial Boulevard, Ft. Lauderdale, on the ground floor of Traffic Operation Conference Room. Gary Preston, Tequesta's Director of Parks and Recreation is planning to attend. The Village Council recommended that the Village Manager write a letter to be hand-carried by Mr. Preston when he goes to this meeting, stating Tequesta's position regarding this issue. village Council Meeting Minutes ?
