CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL The Tequesta Local Planning Agency held a scheduled Public Hearing at the Village Hall, 357 Tequesta Drive, Tequesta, Florida, on Thursday, August 13, 1992. The meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M. by Mayor Earl L. Collings. A roll call was taken by the Recording Secretary, Fran Bitters. Councilmembers present were: Mayor Earl L. Collings, Vice- Mayor Edward C. Howell, William E. Burckart, Ron T. Mackail and Joseph N. Capretta. Village Officials present were: • Village Manager Thomas G. Bradford, and Joann Manganiello, Village Clerk. Department Heads and Village Attorney John C. Randolph were also in attendance. II. INVOCATION AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Councilmember William E. Burckart gave the Invocation and led those in attendance to the Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag. III. PUBLIC HEARING A) Consideration of Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment (Change of Land Use) Pursuant to Chapter 163,3161, et. seq., Florida Statutes, and Transmittal to the State of Florida Department of Community Affairs. Scott Ladd explained that this is a proposal from Developers, Edward and Monica Armor, to effectuate a land use change on a little less than an acre of land located at the corner of Pine Tree Drive and Tequesta Drive. In order for the Developer to present their proposed project, it is necessary • for the Village to do a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, changing the subject property from residential low density (current R- 1 zoning district allowing from 0-5.5 single family dwelling Recycled Paper • Local Planning Agency Public Hearing August 13, 1992 Page 2 ------------------------ units per acre) to residential medium density (allowing for 5.5-12 units per acre). The size of the parcel dictates that no more than 10 multi-family units could be built at that location. Mr. Ladd reminded the Planning Agency that they are not, at this time, reviewing a Site Plan, but the presentation is merely for the Planning Agency to review and determine whether there is merit, in the application, to justify a change in land use in order to change the density by five dwelling units. If the land use is changed, a zoning change must occur, followed by an application before the Community Appearance Board and a Site Plan Review before the Village Council for the actual project. Attorney Randolph advised the Planning Agency that this is merely the first step in a process where applicant comes before the Village Council to make a request for the land • change, and a 1/4 page ad is placed in the newspaper, before the Public Hearing. The first step that is taken, in the event the Council decides to move forward, is to send the proposed land use change to the State for review. Once all reviewing agencies have reviewed, another advertisement, and a Final Public Hearing would be necessary. Jay Sweet, of Sweet & Associates, Inc., 220 Venus Stret, Jupiter, was in attendance as representative of Developers. Mr. Sweet explained that the subject property is surrounded by (i.e., Whitehall Condominiums and Carriage House Condominiums) more intense land uses than that for which the Developers are applying. The property immediately to the west of the proposed location is zoned single family, and a higher density immediately to the east. A zoning change would allow the applicant to build two-story, fee-simple townhomes, at a price range a little over $100,000. Preliminary renderings have been done showing the concept, with heavy landscaping. 1) Review and Discussion of Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2) Review of Proposed Resolution No. 26-91/92 • • Local Planning Agency Public Hearing August 13, 1992 Page 3 ------------------------ 3) Local Planning Agency and Public Comments. Councilmember Capretta inquired as to the density of Whitehall and Carriage House. Scott Ladd answered he did not know at the present moment. A citizen asked if a traffic study had been done to consider the impact the new housing would have on that area to determine whether a traffic light would be required at that location. Village Manager Bradford answered that area was looked at in a rough fashion and compared the proposal to what the traffic generation would be if single family homes were built there. As far as a traffic light is concerned, those are provided by Palm Beach County. Mr. Bradford felt the level of traffic at that location would not warrant a traffic light, but if it meets the criteria, the County would entertain placing one there. A local citizen inquired as to whether the new residences would be hooked up to sewer, and the answer was affirmative. • 4) Local Planning Agency Recommendation to the Village Council Regarding Resolution No. 26-91/92 and the Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment.

The Public Hearing was therefore re-convened. 4j Local Planning Agency Recommendation to the Village Council Regarding Resolution No. 26-91/92 and the Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
