PUBLIC HEARING MINUTES
AUGUST 11, 1987
I. The Village Council held a public hearing at Village
Hall, 357 Tequesta Drive, Tequesta, Florida at 7:45
P.M. on August 11, 1987, to review proposed Ordinance
355 for the first reading, amending Zoning Ordinance
319 in its entirety, and amending regulations of all
zoning districts, amending zoning classifications, and
creating a new C-3 general commercial district. The
public hearing was called to order by Mayor Stoddard,
and a roll call was taken by the Village Clerk.
Councilmembers present were: Carlton D. Stoddard,
Mayor; Edward C. Howell, Vice-Mayor; and Councilmember
Earl L. Collings. Councilmembers Edwin J. Nelson and
• Ron Mackail were excused from the meeting. Others
present were: Thomas G. Bradford, Village Manager;
John C. Randolph, Esq., Village Attorney; Gene Caputo,
Village Planning and Zoning Consultant; and Bill C.
Kascavelis, Finance Director/Clerk.
II. The agenda was approved as submitted.
III. The Village Manager reviewed the Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance and he noted that the review began
approximately a year ago when Council addressed the
creation of a special C-2 zoning district located in
the northeast portion of the Village (the area north of
Tequesta Drive bordered on the east by U.S. Highway 1,
and on the west by Old Dixie Highway).
Mr. Caputo stated that the document carries out the
desires of the Village as determined by Village Council
Workshops held during the past year which were designed
to implement the Village Comprehensive Plan.
The Village Attorney indicated that the purpose of the
meeting was to enable a review by residents of the
proposed ordinance, and to set a date, time and place
for the second required public hearing before final
adoption of the ordinance.

amended, including the amended Zoning Map made a part
of said ordinance; in its entirety by providing for a
new Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance promoting health,
safety, morals and general welfare of the inhabitants
of the Village of Tequesta, Florida; to facilitate the
adequate provision of transportation, sewerage, water,
parks, and other public requirements; to regulate and
restrict the erection, construction, reconstruction or
alteration of buildings; to regulate and restrict the
height, number of stories and size of all buildings and
structures, and the size of all yards and other open
spaces surrounding buildings; to regulate and restrict
the density of population and for all said purposes to
divide the Village into districts of such number, shape
and area as may be best suited to carry out these
regulations and amendments: to provide for its
enforcement; to provide for special exceptions and
variances in event of hardship and providing penalties
for violations hereof; providing for severability;
• providing an effective date."
Mr. Caputo reviewed the general provisions of the
ordinance, with concern to the Council pertaining to
procedures for site plan reviews for new developments.
1.) It was noted that the ordinance as presently
written refers to the Community Appearance Board as the
final approving authority; whereas, the Council should
be designated the final approving authority. Council
agreed with Mr. Caputo's assessment.
2.) It was noted that special exception applicants are
required to appear before the Community Appearance
Board prior to appearing before the Council. Council
also concurred that this should be revised requiring
applicants to appear before the Council for special
exception approval first.
3.) The Village Attorney noted that the language
dealing with "Unity of Title" was permissive, and
should be addressed and made more specific, and proof
thereof in the hands of the Building Official prior to
issuance of the building permit.

5.) Consideration should also be given to require a
development agreement letter to be signed by both
parties, specifying all site plan requirements, and all

prior to the second reading.
