COMMITTEE REPORTS A) Public Works Committee; July li, 1994: Village Manager Bradford reported the Public Works Committee members, Mr. Collings and Ms. Schauer, reviewed tentative design proposals for the Country Club Drive landscaping median and entrance signs at the Martin County border, curb radius changes at the intersection of Tequesta Drive and Country Club Drive, and made changes based on input from residents, which were subsequently approved by Village Council. Village Engineer Richard Staudinger reported that the asphalt overlay work on Country Club Drive was scheduled for September 15 and 16, and lighting, landscaping, and striping were anticipated to be completed mid October. B) Redevelopment Committee; July 22, 1994: Village Manager Bradford reported Mr. Benjamin as representative of the Christopher's Village Foundation urged the committee to recommend to the Council the institution of a Community Redevelopment Agency. Discussion included pros and cons of tax increment financing and feasibility of cost estimates of the CVF proposal. Mr. Capretta summarized the alternatives-- to accept Mr. Benjamin's plan, to go with another developer like Mr.. DiVosta who wants to be left alone to build downtown, or to go with Mr. Van Brock who would build a more traditional development. The committee recommended to the Council that September 22 be the deadline for determining the location of the North County Branch Library. No recommendation was given on the establishment of a CRA. Mr. Capretta commented that since many decisions needed to be made that were interactive, the first step should be to collect all the data to be considered by the Redevelopment Committee at a meeting later in September in order to make a recommendation to the Village Council. Mr. Bradford observed that Village Council Meeting Minutes August 30, 1994 Page 4 ------------------------------- December 1 was the deadline date set by the County for a decision on the library location, and the September 22 deadline should give ample time for requirements to be met. Public Safety Committee; July 27, 1994: Village Manager Bradford reported the committee recommended that the Village help Jupiter in exploring their Fire-Rescue options, possibly to form a joint service with Palm Beach Gardens, or ideally a North County regional service. Village Manager Bradford commented that at the committee's direction he had met with Jupiter Hospital and with North County Ambulance Service and they had stated they would loan ambulances to the Village until they could secure their own, which Mr. Bradford would seek to get in writing. Mr. Bradford stated upon approval by the Council he would carry out the committee's direction that he write a letter to Mr. Brice requesting that he vacate Station 11 and seek to obtain a date of release in writing. Vice Mayor Burckart observed since Jupiter Hospital had picked up North County for nothing that Tequesta might do the same. Also discussed were the ramifications of Palm Beach County assumption of ALS transport, one of which was the necessity that Tequesta apply for a CON license to protect the Village in the event that the County would assume transport and that North County Ambulance would go out of business. Fire Chief Weinand reported he could file that application upon Council approval of this report. The committee had discussed the Park Walk and Talk program and had directed Police Chief Roderick that officers were to have more contact with Tequesta residents by getting out of their vehicles to talk with the residents. The committee had also requested that Chief Roderick look into an Explorer program to co-mingle with a Care program as implemented in Lantana. The committee reviewed the reserve officer program implemented by the Police Chief; decided not to obtain stationary radar for Country Club Drive; recommended the Tequesta thru truck ordinance be modified to make more specific where delivery of goods Village Council -~- Meeting Minutes August 30, 1994 Page 5 can occur whereby truck drivers can continue to use Country Club Drive; rejected the Smart Trailer Speed Indicator; recommended purchase of traffic counter cards to collect traffic data; rejected an offer from a cellular telephone company to construct a 160' to 220' high tower on Tequesta property on which the Village would be able to place their antenna; and looked at the three-tier approach to a Martin County request for mutual aid relative to police services with the recommendation that a proposal be submitted to Martin County covering 24 hours per day service to Turtle Creek and another proposal covering 2 shifts per day for Turtle Creek and calculate whether Martin County's Turtle Creek tax base would be able to cover four extra people for 24-hour police coverage in Turtle Creek. Councilmember Capretta requested that the Police Chief form and implement plans to utilize the auxiliary police in assignments such as traffic control on Country Club Drive rather than only as a backup to the regular police force, and to report on those plans at the next Public Safety Committee meeting. Councilmember Collings moved that the three committee reports referenced above be approved. Councilmember Schauer seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for William E. Burckart - for Elizabeth A. Schauer - for Earl L. Collings - for Joseph N. Capretta - for The motion was therefore passed and adopted. VI. DEVELOPMENT MATTERS A) Sketch Plan Review for "Coconut Cove°, a Proposed 13- Lot Residential Subdivision East of Chevron and South of Waterway Village. Applicant Gordon Ripma, President, Florida Trend Development Corporation. Scott D. Ladd, Building Official, stated the applicant, Mr. Ripma, had proposed a new 13-lot Village Council Meeting Minutes August 30, 1994 Page 6 ------------------------------- residential subdivision to be called Coconut Cove located within Tequesta east of Chevron and south of Waterway Village, and bordered by the Coast Guard property on the south; and was present for the Sketch Plan Review, which was the first step in the subdivision review process. Mr. Ladd explained that waivers under the subdivision regulations to the standard 60-foot road right-of-way and to cul-de-sac length were requested which would require Council approval, and that the applicant did have a deeded access from Chevron allowing for a modified opening. Mr. Ripma's intent was to dedicate the road to the Village. Mr. Ladd explained that there were stated variances on the plans that would fall under the jurisdiction of the Board of Adjustment if Mr. Ripma chose to use different setbacks or building heights. The applicant had also provided an 11-lot layout for discussion purposes. At the request of Mayor Mackail, Building Official Ladd explained the two requested waivers. The first waiver was to allow a total 35-foot road right-of-way, of which 20 feet would be paved and 15 feet would accommodate utilities and a 5-foot wide sidewalk. The second waiver requested was that the cul-de-sac be 850 feet in length, rather than the 400 feet allowed by code. Because of this, review by service providers had been requested earlier than normal in the approval process to be sure that emergency and service vehicles would have no problems with the requested footages. Mr. Ripma addressed the Council and explained he had presented two different sketch plans since he did not yet know the market for the lots. The 13-lot plan would have 11 dry lots and two 75-foot wide lots on the water, and the 11-lot plan would have 9 dry lots and two staggered lots on the water. Mr. Ripma hoped to gain approval for both plans knowing he could plat only one, and to be able to determine the market and decide which plan to use after sketch plan approval by the Village Council. In response to Mr. Collings, Mr. Ripma explained that although he hoped to be the builder for homes on these lots that purchasers would be free to choose any builder, and anticipated the value of the finished product to be $250,000+. Councilmember Schauer commented she liked the concept Village Council Meeting Minutes August 30, 1994 Page 7 ------------------------------- of quarterly assessments and the fact that an architectural control committee would be in place after the development was finished. In response to Mr. Collings question regarding drainage, Mr. Ripma responded that all of the run-off from the road and the roofs of the houses must be contained and that a preliminary study had been done showing that this was possible. Village Attorney Randolph received clarification from Building Official Ladd that variances that might be requested from the Board of Adjustment were not subject to this sketch plan approval. Vice Mayor Burckart stated his opposition to the road right-of-way being less than 50 feet, and suggested 80' x 100' lots to accomplish a 50-foot right-of-way with 24 feet paved; and voiced concern over the drainage and environmental impact. Building Official Ladd responded that an environmental study would be done as well as a complete review by the Village Engineer of the infrastructure paving, drainage, and on-site retention since these were required for the Preliminary Plat Review. Village Manager Bradford voiced concern that 20 feet of paved area might not meet FDOT requirements. Mr. Ripma clarified that the paved area would be maintained by the Village and the additional portions of the right- of-way would be maintained by the association. Mr. Ripma explained to Mr. Bradford that the ingress/egress easement from Chevron was needed since the existing 32.80-foot opening onto Cove Road was too small, therefore Chevron would dedicate a 35-foot radius off of their property's northeast corner which would allow a 67.80-foot right-of-way going into the property. Rather than have the paved right-of-way that was dedicated to the Village crossing over an easement, Village Manager Bradford questioned whether there would be a way to have all of the paved area on land owned by the applicant so that this, at a minimum, could be dedicated to the Village in order to avoid any future problems, and Mr. Ripma agreed that could be done. Councilmember Schauer verified with Fire Chief Weinand that the 13-lot plan would provide room for emergency vehicles however the 11-lot plan might not. In response to Mayor Mackail's concern that the paved right-of-way should be more than 20 feet, Building Official Ladd responded that the benefit to the Village of granting a 35-foot right-of- Village Council Meeting Minutes August 30, 1994 Page 8 ------------------------------- way with the applicant maintaining both sides including the wall and landscaping, the unique entry feature, the landscaping in the cul-de-sac, and the Village maintaining only the paved area, would be a tremendous tax base on the larger lots, and requiring more footage for road would decrease that tax base. Mayor Mackail stated it was his understanding that only way for a homeowners association to work within the law was to have the owners of the property sign the covenants when they purchase the property, which Mr. Ripma agreed to do. Building Official Ladd stated all concerns expressed would be addressed in the Developer's Agreement. Councilmember Capretta reminded the Council that small pockets of land within the Village have been sitting idle for many years and producing no income, and expressed his position that cooperation with a developer with a unique application should be encouraged rather than trying to standardize the project which might make a project economically unfeasible for the developer. Village Manager Bradford informed Mr. Ripma that the City Engineer had stated his organization would not approve the use of pervious concrete, to which Mr. Ripma replied that drainage could be accomplished without its use. Vice Mayor Burckart stated he still felt strongly that a 50-ft. right-of-way was needed and that 'the entrance should be dedicated with the right-of-way. Councilmember Collings made a motion to approve the Coconut Cove Sketch Plan Review for the 13-lot plan. Motion was seconded by Councilmember Capretta. Village Attorney Randolph asked for clarification whether the motion took care of the entrance to make sure that there is enough roadway dedicated to the Village at the entrance. Councilmember Collings stated he would include that in his motion. Councilmember Capretta stated his second still stood. The Mayor called for the vote. Councilmember Schauer asked for clarification of the motion. Village Attorney Randolph stated, °You are voting on only one of the proposals and that is the 13-lot proposal, and there was a concern expressed by the Village Manager over the Village accepting a plat the entrance over which the Village Council Meeting Minutes August 30, 1994 Page 9 Village doesn't have control because it was going to be an easement from Chevron. So, it is going to be approved, subject however, to that entranceway being dedicated to the Village, to the public.° In response to Building Official Ladd's request for clarification for Mr. Ripma, Village Manager Bradford stated that the minimum requirement at the entrance would be that the land upon which the pavement sits would be owned by the applicant and dedicated to the Village of Tequesta. Dottie Campbell asked what the current minimum roadway requirement was to which Building Official Ladd responded that it was now 60 feet, however the amended Comprehensive Plan would change it to 40 feet. Village Manager Bradford clarified that the paved surface would be asphalt. The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for William E. Burckart - for Elizabeth A. Schauer - for Earl L. Collings - for Joseph N. Capretta - for The motion was therefore passed and adopted. B) Final Plat Review and Approval for Armour Manor, a 10- lot Multi-Family Townhome Project, 479 Tequesta Drive. Applicants Eddie and Monica Armour, Armour Builders. Building Official Ladd explained the applicants had elected to plan ten fee simple lots upon which ten townhomes would sit, with various parcels around those lots which would be common areas owned by all ten owners such as the pool area, landscaped areas, sign areas, dumpster areas, driveways, etc. Because more than three lots were being created per Village regulations, the Village requested they plat ten fee simple lots. Councilmember Schauer commented the last time Mr. Armour appeared before the Council she had requested he approach his neighbors across the street to hook up to Village sewer and water which he had done, and therefore extended her compliments. Motion was made by Councilmember Schauer to approve Village Council Meeting Minutes August 30, 1994 Page 10 ------------------------------- the Final Plat Review for seconded by Councilmember motion was: Ron T. Mackail William E. Burckart Elizabeth A. Schauer Earl L. Collings Joseph N. Capretta Armour Manor. Motion was Collings.

(Staff recommends approval). Village Attorney Randolph explained that since action on this resolution was not appropriate until after the second Public Hearing, his recommendation was that at this meeting a motion be made to approve the recommendation made by the Local Planning Agency. Motion was made by Councilmember Collings to approve the recommendation made by the Local Planning Agency to transmit and to set the next Public Hearing for September 22, 994. Councilmember Capretta seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for William E. Burckart - for Elizabeth A. Schauer - for Earl L. Collings - for Joseph N. Capretta - for The motion was therefore passed and adopted. *B) Consideration of Bid Award to the Following Persons/Firms Submitting Sealed Bids for Village Surplus Rolling Stock: Village Council Meeting Minutes August 30, 1994 Page ll ------------------------------- 1) 1988 Ford Crown Victoria 4-door, VIN #2FABP72GXJX163318, to Fredrick Hahn, "Mag Auto Corporation° for $850. 2) 1988 Ford Crown Victoria 4-door, VIN#2FABP72G8JX163317, to Geubert Oliveira, °Garra Trading, Inc." for $751. 3) 1991 Ford Crown Victoria 4-door, VIN#2FACP72G5MX175630, to Marvin Crook for $1500.

ANY OTHER MATTERS Councilmember Schauer questioned when the land could be cleared at Constitution Park. Village Attorney Randolph stated when the Summary Judgement was signed that the Village could go forward, however, suggested that the Village wait 30 days which was the time period during which an appeal could be filed. In response to Councilmember Schauer's concern that the ordinance in regard to the interlocal agreement with the Palm Beach County School Board was not adhered to and her reference to Jupiter's specific requirements pertaining to integration within new developments, Village Manager Bradford explained that Tequesta had chosen to not mandate by ordinance form a Developer's Agreement that would mandate racial quotas within a development, but to consider each on a case-by-case basis. As an example, he explained that when the Developer's Agreement comes forward for tonight's applicant, Coconut Cove, that would be the time to make a case that quotas be established for that project, if desired. Village Manager Bradford stated the ordinance Village Council ~~~.- Meeting Minutes August 30, 1994 Page 15 amended a previous ordinance pertaining to Developer's Agreements, giving the Council the right to mandate a Developer's Agreement. Councilmember Schauer questioned who would enforce the Developer's Agreement. Village Manager Bradford explained that Building Official Ladd would suggest minimum parameters and when the matter came before the Council that Councilmembers could make changes, and that the Building Official might be the person to monitor whether the Developer's Agreement was followed. Village Clerk Manganiello commented she had received a phone call from a staff member of Palm Beach County Planning and Zoning who stated that Palm Beach County was reluctant to go into an agreement as comprehensive as Jupiter's agreement. Councilmember Schauer requested a copy of Chapter 163 and 189 of the Florida Statutes from Village Manager Bradford as referenced in his memo to the Village Council. Village Manager Bradford explained his statement in the memo that a CRA would rob Tequesta's General Fund of badly needed future revenues that the CRA would receive tax revenues above the current tax revenue generated within the boundaries of the CRA, which he believed was the number one pitfall of a CRA. Another pitfall would be overextending in bonding and debt to pay for the improvements within the CRA master plan. A special improvement district could be a Neighborhood Special District which would have the power of eminent domain as long as their charter specified this power, and would have the power to impose two additional mills of taxation for the area defined which would have to be approved by the property owners within the district. Both types of districts have the power to purchase land. Mayor Mackail observed that the Council needed to clearly understand and define the mechanisms and pitfalls of a CRA and to identify the options available to develop the downtown land. Mayor Mackail reported on July 28 the Council had instructed him to write a letter to Mr. Thompson of ENCON stating that the Village would participate in their septic tank study under certain conditions. Mr. Thompson's reply stated ENCON could not accept Tequesta's conditions. Mayor Mackail stated he attended the next meeting of ENCON and requested postponement of two items on their meeting agenda, which since they did not postpone Tequesta would not participate in the study. Mayor Mackail recalled that several months ago the Council Village Council Meeting Minutes August 30, 1994 Page 16 had voted in favor of a Juvenile Service Program. A letter had been received from the Community Counselor requesting space to hold a weekly meeting for an adolescent group. It was the consensus of the Village Council to donate the Village Hall for one session per week. X. COMMUNICATION FROM CITIZENS Alfred DeMott, 189 Golfview Drive, he had also attended the ENCON meeting and felt the ENCON board had insulted Tequesta's Mayor in denying the requested two-week postponement. The committee that had been studying the matter under the leadership of Village Manager Bradford would not continue work until the Village Manager returned from his vacation, which the ENCON board could not understand, and the media had reported that Tequesta was uncooperative. Mr. DeMott stated the committee was very anxious to begin work and requested direction from the Council. Wade Griest, 494 S. Dover Road, commended Fire Chief Weinand for an excellent demonstration last Saturday. Mayor Mackail announced that Chief Weinand is this year's President of the NAMAC organization and thanked him for his good work. Bill Shannon, 46 Chestnut, on behalf of the President of the Civic Association, commended the Council on placing the library as a number one priority, and urged the Council to adhere to their September 22 deadline. Mr. Shannon also urged the Council to prepare for the eventuality that there would be no appeal to the summary judgement for Constitution Park by getting ready for the permitting process since environmental regulations are constantly changing and land that can be built on one day cannot be developed the next, and permits in place could help. Councilmember Capretta stated one acre had been donated by the Doerner Trust and the Council needed to see that deed. Joe Benjamin stated the land was only being donated if Mr. Van Brock was allowed to build the library. Stanley Legner, 123 Country Club Drive, commented he had verified with the Police Chief and with the Traffic Division at the North County Courthouse that Tequesta receives money from fines, therefore more tickets should be issued. ~" Village Council Meeting Minutes August 30, 1994 Page 17 ------------------------------- XI.
