Member Patemo; motion carried 4 -0.

Council Member Paterno stated that both items number 5 and 9 were related and he
wished to comment on both. He pointed out that seventy - five percent of the grant given

Council of the fact that the Seabrook Park property would not be a source of funds as it
Minutes — Regular Council Meeting 04/14/16
Page 3
was no longer on the market. He suggested that Council make up for the loss of funds by
either not spending money or by appropriating more cash. He recommended a
combination of both. Council Member Paterno further emphasized the idea that the Village
Manager should not utilize any savings, other than for an emergency, unless it was first
brought before the Council. He affirmed that he would like to see a motion that stated any
new spending must first come before a workshop before Council would even consider it.
Mayor Brennan acknowledged that Council had addressed this before and that she was in
complete agreement.
Attorney Davis stated the consent items must be approved separately. The agenda
would have to be amended and the motion could then be added under New Business.

Attorney Davis preferred to add the amended agenda item as tab 15.
END OF CONSENT AGENDA
COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITIZENS
Mr. Darrell Pastuch, 391 Riverside Drive, addressed the Council and asked Village
Manager Couzzo to verify if he was interviewing to hire a new vice chief. Manager Couzzo
stated that he was hiring an assistant police chief. Attorney Davis advised Mr. Pastuch
that communications from citizens was meant to be comments and not a question and
answer session directed at Council. Mr. Pastuch continued to state his opinion in
reference to the Village fleet maintenance. He questioned why the Village had switched
from Tequesta Tire to Saint Lucie Battery and Tire. He would have liked to see the Village
do business locally and not go to Martin County.
Mrs. Pat Watkins, 167 River Drive, complimented the Village on the improved appearance
of the South Gate area of Tequesta Country Club. She also thanked Council for the
bollard style lighting on the pathway at Tequesta Drive near First Presbyterian Church.
Mrs. Watkins was pleased with the additional lighting as it was located in an area where
many people walked, rode their bikes, and strolled with their families, on their way to the
Tequesta Drive Bridge. She also congratulated Council and thanked them for their
continued service to the Village.
COMMUNICATIONS FROM COUNCIL
Council Member Paterno expressed concern over the Council's use of Robert's Rules of
Order, during meetings. He felt that the Council should either chose to use the rules or
refrain from using them. He reminded Council that Attorney Davis had agreed the rule
he quoted was in fact, a rule within the Roberts Rules of Orders. He also commented on
the PNC Bank request in which Council had voted to let contractors work on the bank
Minutes — Regular Council Meeting 04/14/16
Page 4
outside of the approved Village hours. Council Member Paterno reaffirmed his belief that
the Village was setting a precedent, as there was now an additional request from another
bank, within the Village, looking for approval to do work during hours that were outside of
the current Village ordinance.
Council Member D'Ambra revealed that the new request actually preceded the decision
that was made regarding PNC Bank. He opined that banks were unique businesses as
they fell under federal regulations, that in turn, limited their ability to be flexible in relation
to their hours.
Council Member Paterno pointed out that a special meeting was called after the last
Regular Council Meeting, in which the PNC Bank reconsideration was discussed. Council
Member Paterno was disappointed that the meeting was scheduled during a time in which
he was out of town.
Vice Mayor Arena restated that there was a need to protect the Village residents who
were doing business at the PNC Bank, while construction was being performed. He felt
that the security of sensitive financial information was at risk, due to the close proximity
of the construction crew to the customers. Vice Mayor Arena pointed out that this was
the reason for the Special Meeting to be called immediately after Council had discussed
this topic.
Council Member Okun thanked Council, Public Works and the Village Manager for quick
action in having the pathway on Tequesta Drive illuminated at night, as it had been a
safety concern.
STANDING REPORTS
Village Attorney
Attorney Davis reported that an arbitrator had recently been appointed on the Cox appeal.
He also informed Council that the Luscavich trial was underway. Lastly, Attomey Davis
revealed that the Thomas code enforcement foreclosure matter was still in process,
however the motion for summary judgement had been filed.
Council Member Paterno asked Attorney Davis for a copy of the Roberts Rules of Order.
Council Member D'Ambra inquired as to the value of the land on Seabrook Drive.
Attorney Davis replied that he would research it and let Council know of the most updated
value on that parcel.
Village Manager
Village Manager Couzzo thanked Council for recognizing the staff for their hard work. He
stated that the Tequesta Drive pathway lighting project was underway and included not
only lights but crosswalks, sidewalks, roadway improvements and landscaping. Manager
Couzzo revealed that in May the Village would submit the Concentrate Discharge Permit,
which managed the discharge of concentrate left over from the reverse osmosis plant.
This permit was important because of its' effect on the river and also because of its
Minutes — Regular Council Meeting 04/14/16
Page 5
financial and engineering significance. He reported that Jupiter Inlet Colony infrastructure
work would start soon. Manager Couzzo informed Council that he had met with the
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to discuss the lane elimination project. He
conveyed that the FDOT would attend an upcoming workshop meeting and that the
project was moving forward.
Council Member D'Ambra questioned whether the resident who owned the property at
the corner of Tequesta Drive and Country Club Drive, had been given notice of the
proposed work to be performed in that area. Manager Couzzo stated that Attorney Davis
had composed a letter informing the resident of the upcoming project. Mr. Doug
Chambers, Public Works Supervisor, would then make arrangements to meet with the
homeowner to discuss any concerns.
OLD BUSINESS
10. ORDINANCE 6 -16, SECOND READING, AN ORDINANCE OF THE
VILLAGECOUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA, AMENDING
THE VILLAGECODE OF ORDINANCES AT CHAPTER 46. MOTOR VEHICLES
AND TRAFFIC, ATARTICLE III. PARKING, STOPPING OR STANDING, BY
AMENDING DIVISION 2. "PARKING OF COMMERCIAL VEHICLES, TRUCKS
AND RECREATIONALVEHICLES" AT SECTIONS 46 -73 AND 46 -74 TO REVISE

ZONING DISTRICTSR -1A, R -1, R -2 AND R -3; AND AT SECTION 46 -71 TO
PROVIDE DEFINITIONS FORTHE TERMS "EFFECTIVELY SCREENED ON
THREE SIDES ", AND "FULLYSCREENED "; AND REQUIRING A NO -FEE
PERMIT FOR THE PARKING /STORAGEOF ALL SUCH BOATS; PROVIDING
THAT EACH AND EVERY OTHER SECTIONAND SUBSECTION OF CHAPTER
46. SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE ANDEFFECT AS PREVIOUSLY
ADOPTED; PROVIDING A CONFLICTS CLAUSE, ASEVERABILITY CLAUSE
AND AUTHORITY TO CODIFY; PROVIDING ANEFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR
OTHER PURPOSES.
Attorney Davis read Ordinance title 6 -16 into the record.
Council Member Patemo expressed support for the ordinance for the most part, however
he objected to the fact that boats up to thirty -three feet in length would be permitted to
park on the side of a resident's lot. He believed that a vessel of that size was simply too
large to be stored on the side of a residential property. He also objected to the boat height,
stating that he felt it was also too tall. Council Member Paterno maintained that he would
not be voting in favor of the ordinance as it was currently written.
Vice Mayor Arena informed Council of his recent meeting with Attorney Davis regarding
Minutes — Regular Council Meeting 04/14/16
Page 6
the boat ordinance. He wondered if Council was looking to require a permit for manually
operated water craft or if they were only required to permit motorized boats. Council
Member Paterno asked how sailboats (without a motor) would be classified. He
suggested that all registered boats be required to have a permit through the Village.
Attorney Davis assured Council that he could make the revision on second reading and
still move it forward as it did not change the intent of the document.
Council Member Patemo asked for clarification on the question that referred to the type
of driveway material. Mr. Tim English, Building Department Director, answered that it
was referencing the area under the boat.
Vice Mayor Arena remarked that the height of the boats was somewhat dictated by the
trees in the area. He explained that a boat that was too tall on a trailer would not make it
through Village streets without having the trees damage it as it travelled the roads.
Mayor Brennan opened the public hearing to Council for comments; there being none she
opened the hearing to the public.
Public Comment
Mr. Jim Thursee, 104 Yacht Club Place, asked Council to explain the purpose of the
permit and inquired as to the cost. Mayor Brennan answered that there was no fee for
the permit and its purpose was to clarify the length of the boat. Vice Mayor Arena also
added that the permit would discourage those residents storing multiple boats on their
property, for the purpose of selling them.
There being no further public comments, Mayor Brennan closed the public hearing.
MOTION Council Member Okun moved approval of Ordinance 6 -16 subject to the
following proposed revision: "prior to parking or storing any boat requiring a state vessel
registration, a no- fee permit shall be obtained from the Village'; seconded by Vice Mayor
Arena; motion passed 4 -1 with Council Member Patemo opposed.

Attorney Davis announced that this item was quasi judicial and read SEU 01 -16 title into
the record. He then swore in three people involved with the special exception and asked
Council for any ex -parte communications; there were none.
Nilsa C. Zacarias, Director of Community Development, summarized the proposed
special exception. She passed out applicants Exhibit A for Council review.
Mr. Neil Corcoran, applicant of the proposed special exception, explained that Dominoes
Restaurant was moving towards a new concept of additional menu items and a sit down
experience. He stated that he owned the franchise and the hours of operation were from
10 a.m. to midnight, Sunday thru Thursday, and from 10 a.m. until 1 a.m. Friday and
Saturday. He stated that there would be 17 seats inside of the restaurant. Council
Member Paterno pointed out that Mr. Corcoran should be aware of the strict speed limits
within the Village as well as an ordinance on business hours of operation. Mayor Brennan
advised Mr. Corcoran against placing marked, dedicated parking spaces in the vicinity of
his proposed business.
MOTION Council Member Okun moved approval of SEU 01 -16 subject to the applicant's
acceptance of the Village allowed hours of operation, seconded by Council Member
Patemo; motion carried unanimously 5-0.
12. SPM 04 -16 Application from Lumiere Corporate Offices for a site plan modification
to install new landscaping; resurface and restripe an existing parking lot; change
the exterior building color; and for additional site improvements. The property
owner is White Rabbit Properties, LLC. The address of the proposed modification
is 731 US Highway 1, Tequesta, Florida, 33469.
Attorney Davis announced that this item was quasi judicial and read SPM 04 -16 into the
record. He then swore in three people involved with the site plan modification and asked
Council for any ex -parte communications; there were none.
Nilsa C. Zacarias, Director of Community Development noted the applicant and the
proposed site plan modification. Council had received a copy of the site plan and
proposed building color package.
Mr. Jason Witter from Witter Landscape Architecture, represented White Rabbit
Properties, LLC, addressed Council and explained that this was a resurfacing and
beautification project. She revealed that the building was at least twenty years old and
Minutes — Regular Council Meeting 04/14/16
Page 8
that it would now be used for office space. The landscaping was being brought up to
code as it was currently nearly non - existent and the proposed color was being changed
slightly. He revealed that there would be no blood or urine tests being performed at the
facility, however the samples would be brought in for testing and then disposed of via
proper hazardous waste protocol.
Council Member Okun asked that the proposed landscaping be ample and colorful. Mr.
Jason Witter stated that the landscaping would be comparable to other similar properties
along US Highway One.
Council Member Paterno asked that the alleyway behind the property not be used for
parking. Mr. Witter agreed that the alleyway would only be used for vehicles backing up.
Council Member Paterno inquired as to whether more landscaping could be added to
beautify the property. He also asked if parking could be brought up to code. Mrs. Nilsa
Zacarias reminded Council that this was an older building and the spaces were currently
10 -foot wide from center to center, which met the current code. Mr. Witter stated that
the parking spaces would be brought up to current code in regards to striping as well as
size.
Council Member D'Ambra asked if the brown brick corners could be painted. Mr. Witter
stated that the split face block would remain the same but would be concealed.
Mrs. Zacarias pointed out that there was a condition that needed to be read. Attorney
Davis reiterated the fact that the office would not have blood or urine tests performed at
the facility.
MOTION Council Member Okun moved approval of SPM 04 -16, seconded by Council
Member Paterno, motion carried unanimously 5-0.

FULL FORCE AND EFFECT AS PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED; PROVIDING A
CONFLICTS CLAUSE, A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE AND AUTHORITY TO
CODIFY; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
Attorney Davis read Ordinance 7 -16 title into the record.
He explained that Village code currently allowed two levels of Adult Congregate Living
Facility (ACLFs) which were independent living and memory care. He revea4ed that the
code did not provide any language to address the mid -level range of care that would be
needed to operate the proposed facility on County Line Road. Attorney Davis further
clarified to Council that this ordinance would offer the components necessary for the mid-
level range of care, such as number of beds per dwelling unit, off - street parking, as well
as a slight increase in off street parking for independent living.
Council Member Okun inquired as to how a transfer of one level of care to another would
occur.
Mr. George Gentile explained that moving from one level to another was dependent on
the level of care needed by the individual. However, all levels were located within the
same campus.
Council Member Okun left the room at 8:41 pm and returned at 8:43 pm.
Council Member D'Ambra pointed out that in many cases a care giver would live with a
patient within an assisted living facility, as memory care would not be a suitable option for
the resident. Council Member D'Ambra emphasized parking was an important aspect of
the project.
Mr. Gentile informed Council that the parking for additional staff that may live on premises,
would need to be addressed within the site plan and would be clarified at another meeting.
Council Member Paterno asked about the density and proposed changes for the
proposed facility. He asked if the units per acre on a C -2 could be reduced. Attorney
Davis replied that they could be reduced, although non - conformities could then become
an issue. Council Member Paterno asked if the residential numbers could be brought
down to 2.39. Mayor Brennan felt that the proposed facility would not want to do business
within the Village if it became too difficult.
Council Member Paterno left the room at 8:58 pm and returned at 8:59 pm.

14. 2016 Governmental Assemblies Representation Appointments
Mayor Brennan asked Council to table item number 14 until the May Council Meeting,
and Council agreed.
15. Budget Cost Savings
Village Manager Couzzo explained that the budget cost savings requested from Council
Member Paterno, was already in place and being utilized.
ANY OTHER MATTERS
Attorney Davis referred back to the public comment made earlier in the meeting which
referenced the procurement of fleet maintenance for Village vehicles. He reaffirmed that
the process was handled correctly but if a resident had a concern the Village could contact
the local Palm Beach County Office of Inspector General for an independent review.
Council Member D'Ambra felt that due to the nature of the statements made and the
disparaging remarks put forth, a third party examination may be in the best interest of the
Village.
Discussion ensued.
Mayor Brennan called for a vote on having the Inspector General conduct an independent
review of the recent allegations. The vote was as follows:
Council Member D'Ambra No review
Council Member Paterno Yes review
Council Member Okun No review
Vice Mayor Arena No review
Mayor Brennan No review
Mayor Brennan suggested Manager Couzzo review and pull all pertinent information
together and examine it internally. She also noted that Council Member Paterno would
look into the Inspector General guidelines.
ADJOURNMENT Council Member Okun moved to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Vice
Mayor Arena; the motion to adjourn carried unanimously 5-0, therefore, the meeting was
adjourned at 9:19 p.m.
