C~OWNIC7lTIO~T F'R~[ CITIZS~TS 8attie 9isgal, 498 Dover Road, questioned why Tequesta Plaza had been allowed to be an eyesore for such a long time. Mayor Schauer explained that the village had tried to work with Mr. Felhaber, the former owner, to comply with Ordinance 377. The new owner had indicated he could only do a facelift, but was willing to work with the village. Mrs. Siegel questioned why there had been enforcement on other properties and not on the Tequesta Plaza property, to which Mayor Schauer responded that the Village had agreed not to enforce Ordinance 377 with the new owner until a final agreement could be worked out with the Village. Mrs. Siegel stated that the condos on Jupiter Island were given waivers and were still working on their landscaping_ rms. Siegel stated she believed this was very unfair, and that the memo from the Code Enforcement Officer regarding unsolved cases showed Tequesta Plaza as the number one case. Councilmember Capretta commented if the record was produced of all actions taken by the village against Tequesta Plaza during the past ten years i.t would be very thick, because not only had the property been cited many times for Code Enforcement, the village had tried to ©2/2311999 15:39 40?6941591 PAGE D3 VILIa~G$ COUNCIL ~STI1fiG ~fI~BS February 11, 1999 P11iQS 3 buy the property three times, tried to condemn the property twice, and had been involved in Court cases. Councilmember Capretta commented the village had spent more time on this property than any other in the village other than Mrs. Siegel's house, which Mrs. Siegel stated she resented. Councilmember Capretta explained that the village had been frustrated by this property and although they had been unsuccessful it was not from lack of attention. Councilmember Capretta discussed haw Mr. Felhaber had agreed to sale of the property more than one time but always backed out, and stated that a property could not be named within the Village on which more time had been spent than that one, because it was the last big eyesore in town. Bill Quigley, 79 Eoily Circle, noted there had been recent newspaper articles which were very negative regarding the Village Council's efforts to secure a parcel at Tequesta Plaza. Mr. Quigley stated this area had been a community eyesore for too long and he was pleased to see efforts in the works to build something the connnunity could be very proud of in the future. Mr. Quigley stated he and his wife supported the village Council's decision. 8111 Burckart, representing Tequesta Motorcars in bringing that property into compliance with Ordinance 377, explained that a final inspection showed some plants missing, etc., and there were two issues he believed should be resolved by the Village Council. Mr. Burckart explained that a letter had been given to Director of Community Development Scott D. Ladd regarding these issues, late that day. The first issue was a request to place green and black slats into the 4' high chain link fence at the rear which was on top of a 7" high wall. This would provide an lip wall at the rear which would block view from adjacent apartment units. The second issue was that the beach sunflower plants requested by the Caamxnity Appearance Board were not available at this time and sod was requested instead, since this was in an area which would not be seen by the public. Mr. Burckart requested these two issues be resolved so that ©2/23/1999 15:39 40?6941591 PAGE 04 vILL~S CO~TCIL ~srz~o ~a~rorss Febxuary il, 1999 PI-a8 4 the foreclosure authorized by the Special Master would not proceed. Mayor Schauer commented that the last time Mr. Burckart had been before the village Council he had stated the project would be completed in six months. 1~. Burckart explained that was approximately 1-1/2 years ago, and that the contract purchaser had died of cancer two weeks before the closing was to have taken place, which delayed matters. Village Attorney Randolph questioned Director of Community Development Scott D. Ladd regarding whether a public hearing was required on this issue, to which Mr. Ladd responded these types of issues were only agenda items. Village Attorney Randolph advised the Village Council that if a public hearing with notice to adjacent property owners was not required, then the village Council might consider it; however, it was very unusual that this was not an agenda item which the staff had opportunity to research and provide backup to the Village Council. Attorney Randolph stated it was not fair for Mx'. Ladd just having received the letter to answer tonight in order to advise the Village Council as to what to do in regard to this property, but it was up to the Village Council and they could act on it if they wished. Further discussion ensued regarding actions taken by the Special Master. village Attorney Randolph expressed concern that the Code Enforcement Officer was not present since he could give a history of the code enforcement actions regarding this property. Imo. Burckart explained that the intent of the ordinance was originally compliance and not foreclosure of properties, and this property owner had spent $30,000, paying as he could. Mr. Burckart explained the fence was the one originally approved and this would be an upgrade; the area where beach sunflowers were requested had originally been submitted as a sodded area since the public would not see it, bt~t the Community Appearance Board had asked for the sunflowers which were not available at this time. The village Attorney explained that he was advising the village Council as to what they could do in this matter. Mr. Ladd stated that issue one was something that would have come to the village Council originally as a waiver request, so ©2123'1999 15:39 4©76941591 vzrr.A~g co~rczL ~rzxc aasoTBs February il, 1999 PAaB 5 PRGE D5 could be considered by the Village Council. Mr. Ladd stated issue two had been changed by the Co~ununity Appearance soard but sod would also have met the ordinance. Discussion ensued. Mr. Ladd considered the requests to be reasonable and sod had been placed in planters on other properties. The list of deficiencies resulting from the final inspection and previous deadlines given by the Special Master were discussed. Attorney Randolph advised that if the Village Council wished to do so they could waive the two items requested and it would be up to Mr. Burckart's client to come into compliance with the other eleven items on the list. Councilmember Capretta made a motion to Maine the two items requested by 8:r. surckart. Couacilmemober Mackail seconded the motion. During discussion of the motion, it Mas clarified that putting the slats into the chain link fence was a condition of the Maiver as Heil as sod in lieu of beach sunfloMers. Vice Mayor Basses stated he had a problem with doing sa®ethiag Mhich may or may not be against the Special Master or the Co®miaity Appearance Board, and Mith the letter being delivered at the last minute, sad he Mould have respected the request a lot more if the letter had bees submitted a couple of days earlier to give staff time to research the matters hoNever, the vice lsayor stated he would vote with the rest of the Village Council to extend the waiver on the two ite®s Daly but recc®eaded better cooperation is the future. The vote on the motion was: 8lisabeth A. Schauer - for Carl C. Hansen - for Joseph 1iI. Capretta - for xoa T. Mackail - for The awtioa Mas therefore passed sad adopted. Councilmember Capretta commented that 96 businesses had been notified they moust coanply with Ordinance 377 and were given five years to comply. At the end of five years not 02/23/1999 15:39 4076941591 PAGE 06 VILLAC;F COD~TCIL ~STI~Ta lQI1~TSS February lx, 1999 pAd$ 6 a single business had complied. Mr. Ladd had prepared a list of the 96 properties with seven steps for compliance, and had submitted the list to the Village Council periodically to show where each property stood in the compliance process. Mr. Ladd advised that approximately 90~ had now completed compliance. Councilmember Capretta commented some had been problems, but the, village was persistent in getting compliance. Councilmember Capretta reminded residents these were minimum property standards and that further standards could be established to protect property values, but with a line drawn that allowed a person to be king of his property until it affected his neighbors. ~ Councilmember Capretta invited residents to attend meetings where this was presented to offer their opinions. Councilmember Capretta commented that when a person owned more than one home, the Village could take a property that did not coanply, which they had done in order to protect the property values of others. Peggy verhoevea, Poiat Drive, questioned whether the Village had a signed, final agreement on Tequesta Plaza, to which the response was affirmative. Mrs. Verhoeven stated there was not anyone in the village who did not want to see the plaza developed and explained that the objection was to the Village being in partnership with the developer. vz . corrs~rr AosemA All items listed With as asterisk (*) are considered to be routine and Miil be enacted by one ~aotioa.
