FOLKS GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. WELCOME TO THE PUBLIC WORKSHOP FOR OUR MOBILITY, STUDY PLAN AND POSSIBLE FEE. I'M ALFIE A JEFFERSON. I'M THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. AND. YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW THAT THE COUNTY HAS ITS OWN IMPACT FEES. THEY HAVE A TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE. THAT NEW DEVELOPMENT PAYS. AS WELL AS SOME OTHERS. AND WHEN THERE IS IN ADDITION TO A STRUCTURE IF IT TRIPS A CERTAIN AMOUNT. UM, A BUILDING THAT ALREADY EXISTS, WILL SOMETIMES HAVE TO COME BACK AND PAY ADDITIONAL IMPACT FEES WHEN THEY ENLARGE WHERE THE VILLAGE IS DOING. IS LOOKING AT WHAT WE CALL A MOBILITY FEE. AND I'M NOT SURE IF EVERYONE HAS SEEN WHAT WAS ONLINE FOR THIS ITEM, BUT WE HAVE OUR CONSULTANT HERE. JONATHAN PAUL WITH NEW URBAN AND HE HAS DONE MOBILITY PLANS STUDIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF FLORIDA. FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. AND HE'S PUT A GOOD ALMOST A YEAR. INTO THIS PLAN, AND SO TODAY WHAT HE WILL BE PRESENTING TO YOU ARE HIS FINDINGS AND WHAT WE POSSIBLY WILL BE TAKEN TO, UH, THE PLANNING ZONING, AN APPEALS BOARD AS WELL AS THE VILLAGE COUNCIL. WITH REGARD. TO BEING ABLE TO FUND SOME PROJECTS IN THE VILLAGE AS NEW DEVELOPMENT OCCURS. SINCE WE HAVE VERY FEW PEOPLE HERE. CAN I JUST GET YOU ALL TOO BRIEFLY?

Mobility Plan Presentation
]ALRIGHT GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH HEALTHIER, AND, UM, SINCE WE DO HAVE A SMALL CROWD INITIALLY, THIS IS THE FIRST OF TWO PUBLIC WORKSHOPS. THIS EVENING AND DEPENDING ON IF WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT BIGGER CROWD THAT COMES IN AROUND FIVE WILL PROBABLY DO THIS PRESENTATION AGAIN FOR THEM AS WELL. UM, REALLY, IT'S OUR OPPORTUNITY TO GET OUTREACH TO THE COMMUNITY.THE FIRST IS WE ARE SCHEDULED FROM 4 TO 5 30 TODAY AND WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE IN THE EVENING FROM 6 30 TO 8 O'CLOCK. UM BUT AGAIN IF WE HAVE SOME FOLKS THAT COME IN A LITTLE BIT LATER, WE MADE HIS PRESENTATION. AGAIN AND SO I'LL THEO'S ALRIGHT. WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW. AND UM, GIVEN THAT WE HAVE A SMALL GROUP IF YOU WANT TO ASK QUESTIONS AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS FEEL FREE TO DO SO. UM THIS IS PROBABLY A NEWER TOPIC TO A LOT OF PEOPLE, BUT YOU KNOW, YOU ALL GOT HERE TODAY, AND I DON'T THINK ANYBODY LIVES IN THIS ROOM. SO EVERYBODY GOT HERE SOMEHOW, WHETHER YOU WALKED, WHETHER YOU BICYCLE WHETHER YOU DROVE YOUR VEHICLE YOU WERE WENT FROM YOUR PLACE. UM WHERE YOU LIVE WHERE YOU WORK WHERE YOU SHOP TO THIS EVENT THIS EVENING AND WHAT WE'RE REALLY FOCUSED ON IS HOW DO WE MAKE THAT A SAFER EXPERIENCE A MORE PLEASANT EXPERIENCE. AND ALSO, HOW DO WE PLAN FOR THE SIGNIFICANT GROWTH? THAT IS PROJECTED TO COME TO INDIAN TOWN. OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS. MM ACTUALLY, TECHNICALLY OVER THE NEXT 22 YEARS, AND THIS MOBILITY PLAN IS LOOKING OUT ALL THE WAY TO 2045. UM AND IT'S REALLY FOCUSED ON HOW DO WE MOVE PEOPLE WHETHER PEOPLE TEND TO WALK BICYCLE, UM, USE A WHEELCHAIR DRIVE. GET ON THE BUS . HARDY WILL ACCOMMODATE ALMOST TO TRAVEL. AND THEN AS PART OF THAT UM, GIVEN THE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DEVELOPMENT THAT IS PROJECTED. OVER THE NEXT 22 YEARS. THERE IS A REQUIREMENT THAT THOSE DEVELOPERS MITIGATE THEIR IMPACT. TO THE VILLAGES TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. AND SO AS HEALTHY A MENTIONED RIGHT NOW TODAY IF A NEW DEVELOPMENT OR NEW BUSINESS COMES INTO THE VILLAGE SAME PAYCHECK. TO MARTIN COUNTY. AND THEN MARTIN COUNTY CAN THEN SPEND THAT MONEY ANYWHERE FROM THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE, INTERSTATE 95. TO THE EAST. 98 OKEECHOBEE TO THE LAST SOUTH DOWN THE PALM BEACH COUNTY AND NORTH ALL THE WAY UP TO ST LUCIE COUNTY, SO I CAN ACTUALLY SPEND THAT MONEY ANYWHERE. IN A REALLY BROAD AREA AND DOESN'T
[00:05:06]
NECESSARILY STAY HERE WITHIN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN, SO THAT'S THE PROCESS THAT HAPPENS TODAY. SO WHEN THE NEW SINGLE FAMILY HOME COMES IN AND NEW BUSINESS AN OFFICE. THEY PAY THEIR MONEY TO MARTIN COUNTY IN MARTIN COUNTY COLLECTS THAT MONEY AND, UM AT SOME POINT OR ANOTHER SPENDS IT ALONG THE WAY. WHAT'S THE MOBILITY FEE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP THAT MONEY HERE IN THE IN TOWN, SO IF YOU HAVE A NEW GROWTH THAT COMES INTO INDIAN TOWN THAT MONEY IS PAID HERE, AND IT STAYS HERE AND IT GOES TOWARDS IMPROVEMENTS HERE. UM WELL, YES, WE SOME OF YOU MAY ALL TAKE MARTIN HIGHWAY OR CANADA HIGHWAY OR CITRUS BOULEVARD OUT TO THE INTERSTATE SYSTEM. FOR MOST OF YOUR DAILY TRIPS THEY PROBABLY ARE IN AND AROUND THIS COMMUNITY AND RIGHT NOW, A LOT OF THAT MONEY IS GOING ELSEWHERE AND HASN'T BEEN SUCH A BIG DEAL TODAY. BUT GIVEN THE GROWTH THAT'S ON THE HORIZON. IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY BIG DEAL MOVING FORWARD IN THE FUTURE. AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF STEPS IN THIS OVERALL PROCESS. UM GIVEN THAT THE VILLAGE IS RELATIVELY NEW IN TERMS OF ACTUAL AND CORPORATION AS A MUNICIPALITY AND NOT JUST AN AREA OF MARTIN COUNTY, UM A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WAS DEVELOPED THAT SORT OF GUIDES FUTURE LAND USE. AND DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT 20 PLUS YEARS. AS PART OF THAT PLAN, AND I'LL SEE A WORKED ON THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY SHOULD WROTE A GOOD PORTION OF IT AND REVIEWED ALL OF IT GOING FORWARD, BUT REALLY, IT ALREADY LAID THE GROUNDWORK. FOR THE VILLAGE TO CONSIDER A MOBILITY FEE, SO THAT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE AS PART OF THIS PROCESS. STEPS 23 AND FOUR. THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT. TODAY WE DEVELOPED A MOBILITY PLAN DEVELOPED A FEE AND WE HAVE A DRAFT ORDINANCE IS BEING PREPARED. THE 5TH 6TH AND 67 STEP. THOSE ARE REALLY IMPLEMENTATION. SHOULD THE VILLAGE COUNCIL ACTUALLY ADOPT THIS, AND THAT'S REALLY THAT'S HOW YOU ADMINISTER THE PROGRAM.HOW YOU COLLECT THE FUNDS AND THEN ULTIMATELY HOW YOU ACTUALLY SPEND THEM AND WHAT THEY GET SPENT ON. AND WITHOUT GOING INTO A WHOLE LOT OF DETAIL. I BELIEVE IT IS AVAILABLE IN VILLAGES WEBSITE. BUT THERE IS ROUGHLY A 200 PAGE TECHNICAL REPORT. THE DETAILS BOTH THE PLAN AND THE MOBILITY FEE. AND THESE ARE JUST ALL THE STEPS THAT GO INTO IT. UM BECAUSE THIS IS KNOWN AS WHAT'S ESSENTIALLY AN EXACT SHIN. OR TWO REQUIREMENT THAT A DEVELOPMENT PAYS MONEY TO THE VILLAGE. THERE ARE A LOT OF LEGAL REQUIREMENTS THAT HAVE TO BE MET IN DOCUMENTED SHOWING THAT THERE IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE IMPACT OF THE DEVELOPMENT. AND WHAT THEY'RE PAYING FOR THE MITIGATE THEIR TRAFFIC. AND SO ALL THOSE STEPS GO INTO DOCUMENTING HOW WE ACTUALLY GET THERE. BUT FUNDAMENTALLY, THE MOBILITY PLAN ITSELF IS HOW DO WE MOVE PEOPLE? DID ANYBODY WALK HERE TODAY? I GIVE YOU I WAS GONNA GET A LOT OF PROPS IF YOU WALKED IN THIS HEAT, 100, PLUS DEGREES OUTSIDE , UM OR BICYCLE, YOU KNOW, MOST FOLKS TODAY MOST LIKELY DRIVE.
AND SIGNIFICANT PARTS OF THE COMMUNITY. IT'S BECAUSE SOME PARTS OF THE VILLAGE HOUSE SIDEWALKS SOME PARTS DON'T SOME HAVE BIKE LANES. OTHERS DON'T THE OVERALL PLAN LOOKS TO FILL IN THOSE GAPS IN THE SIDEWALK NETWORK, FILL IN THE ROADWAY GAPS AND ALSO PLAN FOR FUTURE ROADWAYS AS NEW DEVELOPMENT OCCURS. SO REALLY IS FOCUSED ON GIVING PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY. UM NOT EVERYBODY CAN AFFORD TO DRIVE A CAR ON A CAR. YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO WALK. THEY HAVE TO BE A LITTLE BICYCLE. THEY ARE DEPENDENT ON TRANSIT TO GET TO WORK OR TO MOVE AROUND THE COMMUNITY. ENIS ROY LOOKS TO HELP FUND THAT TYPE OF A SYSTEM RIGHT NOW. THE COUNTY'S ROADWAY IMPACT THE IT JUST FUNDS ROADS. JUST ADDING A TURN LANE, ADDING AROUND ABOUT WIDENING A ROADWAY. IT'S ONLY FOR CARS. IT DOESN'T GET USED TO FUND SIDEWALKS FOR BIKE LANES IT ISN'T USED FOR TRANSIT IS NEWS FOR SHADE TREES TO ACTUALLY MAKE IT A NICE FOR ENVIRONMENT FOR SOMEBODY TO WALK ONE OF THOSE 100 DEGREES OUTSIDE, SO MOBILITY FEE REALLY IS MORE FLEXIBLE AND FOCUSED ON HOW EVERYBODY GETS AROUND. IN A COMMUNITY. MHM. AND SO THE YES, MA'AM. YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT IS IT ON?
[00:10:08]
OKAY. HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT WITH THE UM. THE FEES FOR THE SIDEWALKS. AND WHERE DO YOU CONSIDER THOSE SIDEWALKS TO BE OR THE PAYMENT TO BE? WELL THEN THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA COVER. AND THEN WE'RE GONNA DETAIL THESE MAPS THAT YOU'RE SEEING IN FRONT OF YOU, UM SO WE WILL GET THERE AND I'LL ANSWER YOUR QUESTION AS WE GET TO THAT PART OF IT. UM, THIS IS KIND OF REALLY JUST LAYING THE BIG GROUNDWORK. BUT WE WERE ALL SORT OF DOCUMENT HOW WE CREATED THE PLAN. WHAT THE PLAN DOES AND THEN HAVE A FEE ACTUALLY IS USED TO FUND ALL THOSE LINES ON THE MAP THERE. OKAY BECAUSE THAT I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I'VE ONLY BEEN LIKE TWO MONTHS. CROSSING THAT TRACK GOING AND I GUESS YOU CALL IT INDIAN CHINA BOOK A PARKA. WHERE IS WHERE I LIVE ON DR MARTIN LUTHER KING BOULEVARD IS IT'S TERRIBLE. AND IT'S NOT. MY TIRES ARE ALREADY AND I'VE ONLY BEEN HERE TWO MONTHS. SO AT THAT THAT PART REALLY NEED A PAYMENT REALLY, TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. IT'S TERRIBLE. YES, MA'AM, AND THAT'S ACTUALLY ONE OF THE CORRIDORS WE ACTUALLY ARE PROPOSING TO IMPROVE AS PART OF THIS OVERALL PLAN, WONDERFUL SO AND WE'LL GET INTO FAR MORE DETAIL ON THOSE, BUT THAT WAS A GREAT QUESTION. AND SO THE CURRENT SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE TODAY. UM REALLY IS FOCUSED ON JUST CARS. YOU KNOW, COUNTING CARS, ADDING CAPACITY FOR CARS. THE ONLY THING THAT'S FOCUSED ON WHEN NEW DEVELOPMENT COMES IN IS HOW MANY CARS ARE BEING ADDED TO THE ROADWAY SYSTEM. AND SO REALLY, IT'S A IT'S A REALLY IT'S A HEAVILY FOCUSED SYSTEM ON REGULATING DEVELOPMENT, NOT NECESSARILY PLANNING FOR HOW PEOPLE GET AROUND. AND SO THE MOBILITY PLAN . YOU KNOW ALL THESE LINES ON THE MAP THAT WILL KIND OF WALK THROUGH. NONE OF THAT'S DOCUMENTED TODAY. YOU KNOW, THERE ARE NO ACTUAL PLANS. FOR ANY TYPE OF IMPROVEMENT, EITHER WITHIN MARTIN COUNTY FOR THIS AREA OR WITHIN THE VILLAGE ITSELF. THIS MOBILITY PLAN SORT OF LAYS OUT THAT VISION. FOR HOW WE'RE GOING TO ADD SIDEWALKS AND FIX SOME OF THESE ROADWAYS OUT THERE. THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT EXISTS TODAY. AND ROY. YOU KNOW, THEY'RE JUST A COUPLE OF ELEMENTS THAT SORT OF, UM, DEFINE HOW WE LOOK AT THIS. AND TWO BIGGEST ONES ARE ONE JUST PROVIDING EVERYBODY OPTIONS TO GET AROUND. AND TO DOING SO SAFELY. FLORIDA IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACE IN THE COUNTRY TO WALKING BICYCLE. WE HAVE THE HIGHEST RATES OF CRASHES, HIGHEST RATES OF FATALITIES, AND A LOT OF THAT IS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE NECESSARILY INFRASTRUCTURE. FOR PEOPLE TO DO IT. UM THE GOOD AND BAD ABOUT HAVING THIS TYPE OF WEATHER ALL YEAR ROUND IS, YOU KNOW IT'S HOT. BUT YOU CAN ACTUALLY WALK AND BIKE MOST OF THE MOST OF THE TIME, YOU KNOW, NOT LIKE UP NORTH WHERE YOU HAVE SNOW 34 OR FIVE MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR. AND THAT'S ONE OF THE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS. BUT THE OTHER IS WE JUST DON'T HAVE MANY FACILITIES . UM, STATEWIDE, SO THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE ONLY FOR INDIAN TOWNS OF SOMETHING THAT OCCURS. THROUGHOUT FLORIDA, SO THE PLAN REALLY DOES FOCUS ON SAFETY AND GIVING EVERYBODY AN OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE AROUND WHETHER YOU'RE WALKING, BIKING OR DRIVING. AND SO IT'S PART OF THIS. WE HAVE SOME DIFFERENT STANDARDS. UM.YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY A TRANSITION AWAY RIGHT NOW. THE UM THE VILLAGES SYSTEM HAS WHAT'S KNOWN AS A LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT MANAGERS HOW CONGESTED THE ROADWAY IS. SO THE MORE CONGESTED OF THIS. EVENTUALLY THERE'S A PLAN TO ADD ADDITIONAL CAPACITY. BUT THAT'S REALLY FOCUSED ON HOW QUICKLY DO YOU MOVE CARS? WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS HOW DO YOU MOVE PEOPLE AND TO DO IT SAFELY? YOU'VE GOT TO LOWER THE SPEEDS ARE NOT NECESSARILY TO LOWER THE SPEEDS ON WAR FIELD. MUCH MORE THAN THEY ARE CURRENTLY, BUT A LOT OF THE LOCAL STREETS THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO GET CARS TO SLOW DOWN A LITTLE BIT. UM AND BY DOING THAT, YOU ACTUALLY HELPED TO MAKE THE ROADWAYS SAFER FOR PEOPLE WALKING AND BIKING. YOU KNOW, YOU MAY ADD A FEW SECONDS TO SOMEBODY'S TIME TO GET FROM POINT A TO POINT B. UM BUT IN GENERAL, IT DOES MAKE IT OVERALL SAFER AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE IMPLEMENTED OVER TIME. YES, MA'AM. MY NAME IS GLORIA JENNINGS. AND, UM. YOU SPOKE ABOUT THE YOU GOT SOME TYPE OF UM THE SPEEDING ZONE. BECAUSE, UM. DR MARTIN LUTHER KING BOULEVARD IS LIKE THEY TELL HIM
[00:15:06]
500. I'M SERIOUS, SIR. I'M REALLY SERIOUS. AND, UM. THE BIKES GO BY REAL FAST. THEN THERE ARE A LOT OF TRUCKS. BIG TRUCKS THAT COME. YOU KNOW, IT'S COMING THROUGH THERE. AND. I MENTIONED TO THE SHARE OF THE OTHER NIGHT IF WE COULD GET A SPEED ZONE THING THAT LIKE THEY HAVE COMING INTO ON WALL FIELD DOWN BY THE BY, UM, A HARDWARE. THEY HAVE A LITTLE UM I SPEED THING THAT TO SLOW YOU DOWN, AND HE SAYS 35. AND SOMETIMES I'M DOING 45. I HIT THAT THING I SLOW DOWN. AND WE NEED SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND WE'RE ON DR MARLON KING BOULEVARD. SOMETHING LIKE THAT BECAUSE IT'S LIKE A SPEEDWAY. AND IT'S REALLY, REALLY NOT GOOD FOR KIDS.THEY'RE OUT OF SCHOOL NOW. YOU KNOW, AND SOMEBODY'S GONNA GET HURT ON THAT ON THAT SAME STREET WITH THE TRAFFIC MOVING LIKE THAT. IT SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF RESTRICTIONS OR SOMETHING TO LET THEM KNOW, YOU KNOW, SLOW DOWN. AND THAT'S A GREAT SUGGESTION, AND THAT'S ACTUALLY ONE OF THE PROPOSALS FOR THAT ROADWAY IN PARTICULAR, DOCTOR. I'M OKAY. AND THEN THAT'S ALSO WHAT YOU SEE UP. THERE IS A STANDARDS. RIGHT NOW. THE STANDARD IS 30 OR 35 MILES AN HOUR FOR THE LOCAL STREETS. UM HOW DO YOU IMPLEMENT THAT? WELL ONE IS IT'S ADOPTING THIS PLAN. UM, YOU KNOW, THE FIRST STEP WOULD BE FOR THE VILLAGE COUNCIL TO PUT THESE POLICIES IN PLACE ONCE HER IN PLACE THAT GIVES THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AND THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT IN THE VILLAGE A LOT MORE FLEXIBILITY TO MODIFY THE SPEED LIMITS AND EVEN MODIFY THE DESIGN. OF DOCTOR. I'M OKAY.
ROADWAYS IN HERE RIGHT NOW. THEY'RE GOVERNED BY CERTAIN STANDARDS IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND THOSE STANDARDS ARE REALLY FOCUSED ON MOVING CARS. NOT NECESSARILY MOVING PEOPLE SAFELY ALONG THOSE CORRIDORS. THESE POLICIES WOULD ACTUALLY GIVE THE COUNCIL THAT OPPORTUNITY, SO IF THERE ARE CORRIDORS THAT ARE ISSUES THEY'D HAVE THE ABILITY TO ADD TRAFFIC CALMING. ADD ROUND. UM YOU KNOW , EITHER SPEED BOMBS OR, YOU KNOW, NARROW THE PAVEMENT. SOME ADD ON STREET PARKING OR LOWER THE SPEED LIMITS, BUT THEY'LL ACTUALLY HAVE THAT FLEXIBILITY WHICH THEY DON'T HAVE CURRENTLY TODAY. SO THIS IS REALLY AN IMPORTANT STEP TO GIVE THEM THAT OPPORTUNITY. RIGHT NOW. THEY DON'T HAVE IT. OH, I SEE. SO SAID NEWS. ANGELINA PEREZ. MY QUESTION IS NOW IS THIS STUDY DONE THROUGHOUT THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN, FOR EXAMPLE, RIGHT HERE ON THE NEW STREET, NEW DELMAR WATERS. THERE USED TO BE A FOUR WAY STOP. BUT SOMEHOW.
THAT WAS JUST ONE WAY. YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SEE THE ACCIDENTS HAPPEN. YOU KNOW WHAT IS ARE KILLING MOVE FORWARD WITH THE STUDY. CAN WE PUT IMPLEMENT THE FOUR WAY STOP! SAME ON YA'LL AHA AND SEMINAR. USED TO BE A FOUR WAY STOP NOW. IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST PEOPLE ARE RACING DOWN THESE STREETS NOT CARING ABOUT ESPECIALLY RIGHT HERE. THERE'S KIDS CAN'T EVEN PLAY. THE LITTLE LADY HAS SLOWED DOWN WITH HER TURTLE. THEY DON'T CARE. THEY'RE JUST ZOOMING LIKE IT'S I 95 AND THEN THE TRUCKERS AND THIS GUY HIT TWO WEEKS AGO. BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T CARE TO SEE THAT IT WAS READ. IT WAS I WAS GREEN. YOU KNOW THERE, IT'S YOU KNOW, STUFF IS HAPPENING, BUT WITH THIS? COULD WE MAKE CHANGES ? ABSOLUTELY YOU KNOW, SOME OF THOSE CHANGES WERE PROBABLY MADE BECAUSE THERE'S CERTAIN DESIGN SPEED TO THOSE ROADWAYS AND THEY WANT TO KEEP QUOTE, TRAFFIC MOVING THIS SORT OF CHANGES THAT DYNAMIC AND REALLY FOCUS ON SELLING THE CARS DOWN AND ADDING THOSE STOP SIGNS GIVING THEM MORE FLEXIBILITY TO GET PEOPLE TO MOVE SLOWER. SO PART OF THIS OVERALL OUTREACH AND WHILE WE'RE HERE THIS EVENING IS TO GET THESE TYPE OF COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK SO WE CAN ACTUALLY ADDRESS THESE IN THE PLAN, AND, UH AND AFTERWARDS I'LL GET THOSE SPECIFIC INTERSECTIONS DOWN FOR YOU AND OUR THEATER MYSELF OR YOU KNOW, AND THERE'S CIVIC CORRIDORS THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN. THAT'S REALLY THE OPPORTUNITY TODAY THROUGH THIS PROCESS TO IDENTIFY THOSE TO HELP US ACTUALLY INFORM THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. HEY CAN YOU LOOK AT THIS INTERSECTION? CAN YOU ADD? STOP SCIENCE HERE? UM CAN YOU MAYBE WORK ON SOLVING THESE CARS DOWN SOME MORE? YES, SIR. MM SPEED IN THIS TOWN BECAUSE I'M PRETTY EASY DRIVER.
[00:20:01]
I HAVE RUN TO STOP SIGNS IN THIS TOWN. ALRIGHT, THAT SOUNDED NO TICKETS, PLEASE. NEAR HERE. AND JUST DRIVING EASY NO CARS. AND I FLOATED THROUGH INTERSECTIONS HERE. I'VE LOOKED IN THE REARVIEW MIRRORS. WAS THERE A STOP SIGN THERE? AND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR IT, WHICH I DON'T SEE IS THE WHITE BAND THE STOP SIGN WITH A WHITE BAND BAR, THE STOP BAR AND THAT'S WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE GROUND. UM, YOU'RE LOOKING FOR TRAFFIC. YOU'RE REALLY LOOKING DOWN. AND SEEING A LOOKING FOR A STOP BAR. THAT'S A BIG SIGN THE RED SIGN. COULD GET LOST WITH. TREES, THE BACKGROUND, ANYTHING, ANYTHING THAT'S GOING ON? BUT TO STOP BARS IS MORE TELLING THAN EVEN IF YOU HAD NO SIGN. IF HE HAD TO STOP FOR YOU. SOMEBODY'S GONNA STOP, NOT A CROSSWALK. JUST A WHITE STOCK BAR AND THAT I HAVE SUGGESTED, AND I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY REALLY CHANGED. AND I DON'T RUN STOPS ANYMORE. SO.AH MUSIC. THESE ARE GREAT COMMENTS. THESE REALLY HELP US IN TERMS OF OVERALL DOCUMENTING IT IN THE PLAN, MAKING SURE THEY'RE INCLUDED IN THE PLAN, AND THEN THIS REALLY BECOMES YOU KNOW, PART OF THIS IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO GUIDANCE RIGHT NOW. THERE'S JUST A STANDARD FOR ROADWAYS. IT'S TYPICAL. THERE ARE NO PLANS. THERE ARE NO MAPS LIKE THIS TO SORT OF GUIDE THE COMMUNITY'S OVERALL THOUGHT PROCESS AND PLANNING PROCESS. SO THIS IS SORT OF THE FIRST STEP TO DO THAT, AND TO START IMPLEMENTING THESE KIND OF IDEAS AND YOU KNOW, JUST COMMON SENSE.
YOU ALL LIVE HERE. YOU KNOW YOU EXPERIENCES STAY TODAY, AND THIS REALLY GIVES THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THIS IS A CORRIDORS. WE NEED TO PRIORITIZE . BUT ALSO THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT VILLAGE WISE. AND YOU KNOW, USING THE MOBILITY FOR YEARS, ACTUALLY A WAY TO FUND THOSE TYPE OF IMPROVEMENTS AS WELL, YOU KNOW, STOP OURS ONE STOP OURSELVES. PROBABLY NOT THAT MUCH. BUT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT YOU, MAY YOU MAY NEED 50 OR 60 OF THEM. YOU KNOW, THEN IT STARTS TO ADD UP A LITTLE BIT. UM AND YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW THAT MONEY GOES TO MARTIN COUNTY. AND YOU KNOW, THEY SPEND IT WHEREVER THEY WANT TO, AND THAT'S REALLY KEEPING THOSE FUNDS HERE. GIVES THE VILLAGES SOURCE OF MONEY TO ACTUALLY GO OUT AND MAKE THESE TYPE OF IMPROVEMENTS. AND THIS IS REALLY A CRITICAL COMPONENT. IT'S KIND OF. THE WAY ROADS ARE DESIGNED RIGHT NOW, IT'S TO MOVE CARS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE FROM POINT A TO POINT B. THAT'S HOW THE RAILWAY SYSTEMS DESIGNED THIS PLAN CHANGES THAT AND SAYS THE PRIORITY FIRST IS PEOPLE WALKING AND BICYCLING AND CARS FLOWING DOWN. THAT'S THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. AND THEN AS YOU GO OUT TO THE BIGGER ROADWAYS, THEN YOU ADD DIFFERENT TYPES OF IMPROVEMENT, BUT FOR YOUR LOCAL STREETS OR NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS IT REALLY IS ABOUT SLOWING DOWN THE VEHICLES. AGAIN WE HAVE JUST DIFFERENT STANDARDS FOR BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES AS WELL. AND THIS IS MORE TO FOR THE CITY LOOKING FORWARD IN TERMS OF MEASURING ITS PROGRESS OVER TIME. FROM WHEN YOU HAVE NO SIDEWALK AT ALL. TWO WHEN YOU GET A SIDEWALK WITH A STREET TREE AND THEN A WIDER BUFFER, AND SO THIS IS REALLY SORT OF LAYS OUT THE VISION FOR THAT RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE NO STANDARDS OR GUIDANCE WHATSOEVER. OTHER THAN YOU SHOULD HAVE A SIDEWALK ON THE ROAD IN THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN. THIS ACTUALLY GIVES A LOT MORE CREDENCE TO SIDEWALKS AND PEDESTRIAN. UM TRAVEL THAN WHAT EXISTS TODAY. SIMILARLY FOR BICYCLE FACILITIES AND LANES FOR GOODNESS, THEY HAVE THOSE HERE YET, BUT SOME PEOPLE MAY BE RIDING AROUND IN THE SCOOTERS OR THE ELECTRIC BIKES. UM, THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE STARTING TO COME ONLINE , AND THEY WILL BE EVEN MORE SO IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS AGAIN. RIGHT NOW. THEY'RE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. NO PLANET GUIDES SORT OF DEVELOPMENT. IT ONLY HAS ROAD STANDARDS DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING FOR SIDEWALKS, BIKE OR TRANSIT. THIS PLAN WOULD ACTUALLY ADD THAT FOR ALL THE MODES OF TRAVEL AND SIMILARLY, THIS IS REALLY SOMETHING THAT WHEN ALETHEA WHEN THE VILLAGE GOES TO THE COUNTY TO THE TRANSIT AUTHORITY, OR EVEN TO THE, UH, THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AGENCY AND SAYS THESE ARE THE TYPES OF TRANSIT WOULD LIKE TO TARGET IN THE FUTURE. THIS IS HOW FREQUENTLY WE WANT THIS. UM RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST SORT OF A GUESSTIMATE. THERE REALLY IS NO STANDARD. TO MEET AND THIS SORT OF ESTABLISHES THAT STANDARD FOR TRANSIT SERVICE. AND REALLY, IT
[00:25:08]
IS FOCUSED ON YOU KNOW, HOW DO PEOPLE MOVE MOST PEOPLE IN THEIR WALKING OR BIKE CYCLING OR THEY'RE JOGGING. THE GOAL. YOU KNOW, UPWARDS TO SEVEN MILES AN HOUR. MOST PEOPLE IS 2 TO 3 MILES AN HOUR. PEOPLE WALKING OR BICYCLING OR ON A SCOOTER 7 TO 10 MILES AN HOUR AND THEN AS YOU GO UP GETS FASTER. RIGHT NOW. THE ONLY THING THAT'S PLANNED FOR IS 25 MILES AND ABOVE. AND THAT'S MOVING CARS. NONE OF THESE OTHER MODES ARE REALLY ACCOUNTED FOR. OTHER THAN THAT THE COMMUNITY SHOULD DEVELOP A PLAN. TO PROVIDE THESE TYPES OF FACILITIES AND PRIORITIZE THIS TYPE OF MOBILITY, AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT THIS MOBILITY PLAN DOES. SO LET'S JUST SORT OF AN EXAMPLE OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF FACILITIES THAT ARE IDENTIFIED ON THIS MOBILITY PLAN . UM YOU KNOW, BICYCLE FACILITIES, SIDEWALKS WIDER, SHARED USE PATHS. UM THE RAILWAYS THAT HAVE MORE TRAVEL ON THE DOCTOR. MY OKAY. THE FARM FARMALL SILVER FOX, UH, CITRUS BOULEVARD. SOME OF THOSE CORRIDORS. THEY'LL HAVE PLANS FOR SHARED USE PATHWAYS OR TRAILS. THE LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS WILL REALLY EMPHASIZE MAKING SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE SIDEWALK NETWORK. AND FILLING IN THOSE GAPS IN THE EXISTING SIDEWALK NETWORK. UM, BEYOND JUST THE EXISTING ROADWAYS. THERE ARE AS I MENTIONED A LOT OF DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE PLANNED IN THE COMMUNITY. OR THEY'RE BEING CONSIDERED. UM. AS THOSE DEVELOPMENTS START TO BUILD ON THE FUTURE, AND THEY BUILD NEW ROADS. CURRENTLY TODAY, THEY'RE JUST BUILDING TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC. THAT'S REALLY ALL THEY BUILD IN THE FUTURE DESIGN STANDARDS, SO BUILD LANES FOR YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WALKING FOR PEOPLE BICYCLING, POTENTIALLY, FOR YOU KNOW FOR SCOOTERS OR CIRCULATORS TO GET AROUND, BUT NEW ROADWAYS WILL ACTUALLY HAVE. ADDITIONAL DESIGN STANDARDS THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE TO BUILD TWO. SO WHEN THEY BUILD A NEW ROAD IN ACCOMMODATES EVERYBODY IN THE SYSTEM, NOT JUST CARS. AND SO AS WE LOOKED AT THE FIRST STUDY AREA BECAUSE WE HAVE VARIOUS LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, THE AREA THAT YOU SEE IN GREEN IS THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN TODAY.THE AREA THAT WE LOOKED AT FOR IMPACT GOES ALL THE WAY UP TO MARTIN HIGHWAY ALL THE WAY DOWN TO PALM BEACH COUNTY LINE AND THEN ALL THE WAY OUT TO THE TURNPIKE. SWEET EVALUATED THE ROADWAYS AND THE MULTI MODAL NETWORK. FOR THIS ENTIRE AREA. TO IDENTIFY FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS.
AND SO THE MAP YOU SEE UP THERE IS THE SAME MAP THAT YOU SEE ON BOTH SIDES OF ME. UM THE AREAS THAT ARE IN GREEN. THOSE ARE REALLY FUTURE ROADWAYS. SO AS YOU SEE ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE VILLAGE THERE'S A LOT OF POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING TO OCCUR OVER THE NEXT 20 PLUS YEARS. AND SO ABSENT ANY TYPE OF PLAN. RIGHT NOW, IF THOSE DEVELOPMENTS COME IN, THEY WERE JUST DO WHATEVER CONNECTIONS QUICKEST TO THE EXISTING ROADS AND RVS. THIS WORLD IS SORT OF LAYS OUT A VISION THAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD, YOU'RE GOING TO HELP BUILD PART OF THIS NETWORK, SO YOUR TRAFFIC ACTUALLY GOES SOMEWHERE NOT JUST TO THE QUICKEST POINT. WHEREVER IT'S MOST CONVENIENT TO DUMP THE CARS OUT OUT. IT'S GOING TO BE PART OF AN OVERALL PLAN. UM THE LIGHT BLUE OR THE DARKER BLUE IS ADDING IN, UM, SHARED USE PATHS, EITHER. EIGHT FT WIDE OR 10 FT WIDE, AND THOSE TEND TO BE SOME OF THE MAJOR ROADWAYS. UM MM.
OKAY AL PATH, A SILVER FOX FARMS CITRUSY. THOSE ARE YOUR BIGGER ROADWAYS THAT CARRY MORE TRAFFIC. AND YOU NEED TO HAVE A WIDER FACILITY ON THOSE, JONATHAN YES, MA'AM. SO WHEN YOU SAY SHARED PATHWAYS CAN TELL THEM WHO'S SHARING AND HOW THEY'RE SHARING. SO TYPICALLY, A SHARED PATHWAY WOULD ALLOW LISA PERSON PERSON WALKING AND BICYCLING. UM IT COULD ALSO ALLOWING THE FUTURE OF THE VILLAGE ALLOWED IT. ELECTRIC SCOOTERS, ELECTRIC BIKES, UM EVEN A GOLF CART OR NEIGHBORHOOD ELECTRIC VEHICLE IN THE FUTURE. BUT ANY OF THOSE TYPE OF MODES OF TRAVEL THOSE WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE TO BE AUTHORIZED BY THE VILLAGE. BUT SHARED USE PATHS REALLY IMPLIES. IT'S A FACILITY THAT'S SHARED BY BOTH PEOPLE WALKING AND BICYCLING. AND THEN MULTI USE TRAIL IS SORT OF THE SAME THING. TRAILS OF ROY. THE BIGGER FACILITIES THINK MOST OF THE CORRIDORS. WE HAVE PLANNED. OUR, UM SHARED USE PATHWAYS. AND SO WE HAVE SEVERAL OTHER
[00:30:06]
RAILWAYS. UM YES, MA'AM. WORRY AND AROUND TO GET THIS QUESTION IN HERE. THAT'S ALL RIGHT. MY NAME IS LONDON ICON UH, YOU MENTIONED. CHECKS DOLLARS GOING TO COUNTY. RATHER THAN TO THE VILLAGE. BUT. TO MY UNDERSTANDING WHEN WE INCORPORATED. THERE WERE ONLY A FEW ROADS LEFT WITHIN OUR VILLAGE LIMITS THAT ARE UNDER COUNTY JURISDICTION. THE BALANCE OF OUR STREETS ARE UNDER VILLAGE. JURISDICTION AND VILLAGE TAX DOLLARS HAVE TO PAY FOR THOSE IMPROVEMENTS. UM THE. THE PROPOSED GREEN. UH ROADS THAT THAT I'M SEEING UP HERE ARE BASICALLY IN THE COUNTY OUTSIDE OF OUR VILLAGE LIMITS. CAN INDIAN TOWN VILLAGE LEGALLY IMPOSED. MOBILITY FEES. FOR ROADS THAT ARE NOT WITHIN OUR INCORPORATED AREA. IT SEEMS LIKE THAT WOULD BE COUNTY MAINTENANCE COUNTY CONSTRUCTION. UM. I CAN SEE WITHIN THE VILLAGE, YOU KNOW IMPACT FEES, BUT OUTSIDE OF THE VILLAGE. I DON'T SEE HOW WE COULD DO THAT. WELL, YOU'RE SORT OF. COMBINING A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS FOR THE MOBILITY PLAN. IS WHAT YOU SEE THERE. IT'S A PLAN. IT'S IDENTIFYING FUTURE CORRIDORS, EXISTING ROADWAYS, EXISTING SIDEWALKS, EXISTING GAPS IN THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. THOSE AREAS IN GREEN THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF THE VILLAGE LIMITS. UM THE VILLAGE. ALL THAT AREA IS WHAT'S WITH KNOWN AS THE WATER AND SEWER SERVICE AREA. OF THE VILLAGE. SO IF FUTURE DEVELOPMENT WANTS TO HAVE ACCESS TO UTILITIES I WATER AND SEWER. MARTIN COUNTY DOES NOT PROVIDE THOSE OUT TO HERE. IT WOULD BE THE VILLAGE THAT WOULD SO AS THE VILLAGE ANNEXES THOSE AREAS AND I WAS FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OCCURS.THOSE GREEN LINES ARE BASICALLY INDICATING NEW DEVELOPMENT WOULD BUILD THOSE ROADS AS THEY COME IN. SO AS OPPOSED TO RIGHT NOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A DEVELOPMENT COMES IN? THERE ARE NO PLANS. SO THEY'RE BASICALLY GOING TO SAY WHATEVER IS THE SHORTEST PATH FROM WHATEVER I'M BUILDING. TO WHATEVER ROADWAY EXIST. THAT'S HOW I'M GETTING THERE. THIS IS A DIFFERENT WAY OF LOOKING AT IT AND GIVES THE VILLAGE TOLD TO SAY. MR. DEVELOPER. YOU'RE COMING IN HERE. YOUR ROADS GOING TO GO FROM POINT A TO POINT B. AND IT'S GOING TO MOVE TRAFFIC THAT SERVES THE OVERALL COMMUNITY, NOT JUST WHAT'S THE MOST CONVENIENT FOR YOU. BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, THE VILLAGE HAS NO MEANS TO TELL DEVELOPER THEY HAVE TO BUILD ANYTHING. OTHER THAN YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE SOME REGULATORY THINGS THAT ARE KNOWN AS TRANSPORTATION CONCURRENCY THAT'S LOOKING AT EXISTING ROADS THAT ARE ALREADY OUT THERE. THIS IS REALLY PLANNING THAT AS DEVELOPMENT COMES IN. THEY HELPED TO BUILD THE ROAD BY NETWORK. BECAUSE OTHERWISE, WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS WE'RE JUST GOING TO CONNECT TO ALLAH PATH. THEY'RE GOING TO CONNECT SILVER FOX TO FARMALL TO MLK.
WHATEVER ROAD THEY CAN GET ACCESS TO. THEY'RE GONNA PUT A DRIVEWAY ON IT AND THEY'RE GOING TO PUT ALL THE TRAFFIC ON IT. SO THOSE GREEN AREAS WOULD COME IN AS DEVELOPMENT COMES IN. THE BLUE LINES. THOSE IN. SO THIS THE MOBILITY PLAN LOOKS HOLISTICALLY. AT WHAT'S NEEDED IN THE COMMUNITY OVER THE NEXT 22 YEARS. THE MOBILITY FEE. IS A FEE PAID BY NEW DEVELOPMENT. SO A TAX IS SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY PAYS WHETHER YOUR EXISTING RESIDENT OF FUTURE RESIDENT IF YOU BUY SOMETHING, IF YOU OWN PROPERTY, YOU PAY A PROPERTY TAX. IF YOU GO TO THE STORE AND YOU PURCHASE SOMETHING, YOU PAY A SALES TAX. EVERYBODY PAYS THAT AND THAT MONEY CAN BE SPENT. HOWEVER YOU KNOW, WHATEVER COLUMN OR WHATEVER FUND IT'S COLLECTED FOR COULD BE SPUN WITHIN THOSE PARAMETERS. MOBILITY FEE IS PAID BY NEW DEVELOPMENT ONLY. AND SO IF NEW DEVELOPMENT CAME IN AN UNINCORPORATED AREA THE VILLAGE DOESN'T HAVE JURISDICTION OVER UNINCORPORATED AREA THEY WOULD PAY THAT MONEY TO MARTIN COUNTY. IF THEY WANT TO COME IN WITH ANYTHING MORE THAN ONE UNIT FOR FIVE ACRES OR ONE UNIT PER 10 ACRES, AND THEY HAVE TO CONNECT
[00:35:04]
TO WATER AND SEWER. MOST LIKELY WE ANNEXING INTO THE VILLAGE, AND AT THAT POINT, THEN THEY WOULD FALL UNDER THE VILLAGES REQUIREMENT TO PAY HIM MOBILITY FEE. JONATHAN YES, MA'AM.ANOTHER QUESTION THAT PEOPLE MAY BE THINKING, WHICH IS RIGHT NOW . SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, WE JUST HAD A NEW TRACTOR SUPPLY BELT AND THEY PAID A TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEE AMONGST OTHERS TO THE COUNTY. CORRECT THE VILLAGE DID NOT GET ONE DIME OF THAT. AND WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER WHAT PROJECT IS THAT MONEY THEY PAID WILL GO TO CORRECT IF WE HAD A MOBILITY FEE, WHAT HAPPENS? IF WE HAD A MOBILITY FEED. THAT TRACTOR SUPPLY WOULD HAVE PAID THAT MONEY TO THE VILLAGE. AND THEN THE VILLAGE WOULD HAVE HAD THAT MONEY AVAILABLE TO FUND THESE PROJECTS ON THE MAP. AND THAT'S YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE BIG DIFFERENCE RIGHT NOW. IS THAT MONEY? JUST GETS PAID TO THE COUNTY. AND THE COUNTY'S GOT HOWEVER MANY YEARS TO FUND IT. UM YOU KNOW, IN A REALLY BROAD AREA AND DOESN'T HAVE TO BE, THERE'S NO REQUIREMENT THAT THEY FUND IT OR SPEND IT WITHIN THE VILLAGE. THE MOBILITY FEE. WOULD BE SPENT ON THOSE PROJECTS. AND REALLY THE GREEN LINES. THOSE WILL BE BUILT BY NEW DEVELOPMENT. SO REALLY, WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT? ARE THE DARK BLUE LINES. THE LIGHT BLUE LINES ORANGE LINE, YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE THE TYPES OF IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE FUNDED. AND THE IN ADDITION. THERE ARE OTHER PROGRAMS AS PART OF THE MOBILITY PLAN.
NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC CALMING SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL FILLING INSIDE WALK GAPS. SO THOSE YOU KNOW YOU WROTE, THOSE ARE JUST PROGRAMS. YOU CAN'T NECESSARILY MAP THOSE UM, BUT THOSE ADDRESS THE COMMENTS THAT YOU HAD TODAY ABOUT THERE'S NO STOP SIGN HERE. THERE'S NO TRAFFIC BAR HERE, YOU KNOW. WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT TRAFFIC, CALMING OR SPEED BUMPS ON MY STREET OR FILLING IN A SIDEWALK OUT? THESE ARE MORE SO CAPTURING THE BIGGER ROADS. BUT THEN THERE'S ANOTHER COMPONENT OF THIS THAT HAS OTHER PROGRAMS THAT CAN BE FUNDED AS WELL. ANDE PROGRAMS ARE FUNDED OTHER THAN THEY'RE TAKING THE GENERAL REVENUE. OUT OF THE VILLAGE RESIDENTS PAY IN TERMS OF THEIR PROPERTY TAX TO FUND THOSE YES, MA'AM. FUNDS GOING INTO THE MOBILITY FEED. B. EARMARKED ONLY FOR THE ROADS STREETS THAT THEY WOULD BE IMPACTING OR WOULD BE PUT INTO A GENERAL FUND TO BE USED ANYWHERE IN THE VILLAGE. WHERE THEY WAS DEEMED NECESSARY. THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION, AND I'M THINKING NO, I ACTUALLY AND WHAT IF I CAN COME BACK TO THAT? BECAUSE BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY HAVE A SPECIFIC MAP, AND IT'S WHAT'S KNOWN AS A BENEFIT DISTRICT. AND SO WE BASICALLY HAVE THREE DISTRICTS. UM. ONE SORT OF THE NORTH SIDE OF WAR FIELD. THE OTHER IS THE SOUTH SIDE OF WAR FIELD. AND THEN THERE'S ONE LARGER ONE. UM BECAUSE ONE OF THE PROPOSALS AT LEAST INITIALLY IS TO NO LONGER PAY THE COUNTY'S IMPACT FEE. FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT AND NO LONGER PAY THAT LONGER TERM, THERE WILL BE A NEED FOR IMPROVEMENTS, ALLAH PATH AND MARTIN HIGHWAY. THERE MAY NEED TO BE AN IMPROVEMENT ON CITRUS BOULEVARD. WAR FIELD, MAYBE EVEN SUCH AS BOULEVARD OUTBACK BY BRIDGE, SO WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS OUTSIDE OF THE VILLAGE. THAT IF AND WHEN THE COUNTY WERE TO GO TO IMPROVE THOSE AS PART OF THIS PROCESS, SOME OF THE MONEY WILL BE SET ASIDE FOR THOSE IMPROVEMENTS. SO THAT WOULD ACTUALLY GO TO MARTIN COUNTY TO FUND SOME OF THOSE INTERSECTIONS , SAYS NEW DEVELOPMENT COMES IN . NOT ALL THE TRAFFIC IS GOING TO STAY WITHIN THE VILLAGE. SOME OF IT IS GOING TO LEAVE. RIGHT NOW. 100% OF THAT MONEY LEAVES.
WELL, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS SETTING ASIDE ANYWHERE FROM 10% TO 20% OF IT FOR THE SPECIFIC COUNTING NEEDS, AND THEN THE REST OF THAT MONEY WOULD STAY SPECIFICALLY WITHIN THE VILLAGE ITSELF. YES, SIR. ARE THESE GREEN LINES, SO THE STONE OR TO GET TOGETHER, SAID THIS LOOKS GOOD. THIS WAS GOOD, MORE OR LESS. IF YOU ACTUALLY SEEN. IT'S KIND OF A LITTLE HARD ON THE NOTE THERE, IT DOES. SAY ALIGNMENT SUBJECT TO CHANGE. SO WE DREW THESE CORRIDORS. ONE OF
[00:40:02]
THE FIRST THING WE TRIED TO DO IS AVOID ANYBODY'S HOME BECAUSE THESE ARE CONCEPTUAL CORRIDORS TODAY, ROYALTY ANTENNAS TO GO FROM POINT A TO POINT B CONNECT THESE AREAS. THE OTHER ONE. WE LOOKED AT EXISTING PROPERTY LINE BOUNDARIES OR EXISTING, YOU KNOW , NATURAL FEATURES AND TRY TO STAY ALONG THOSE AS OPPOSED TO JUST SPLITTING A PROJECT COMPLETELY. SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. THEY ARE CONCEPTUAL IN TERMS OF ALIGNMENT, BUT THEY ARE SPECIFIC IN TERMS OF ENDPOINT.AND BEGINNING POINT. SO YOU KNOW TO GO FROM POINT A TO POINT B THAT IS REALLY PART OF THE OVERALL NETWORK BECAUSE THERE HAS TO BE A CHANGE ON SOMETHING I SEE RIGHT AWAY. OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE DEVASTATING TO THE VILLAGE DEVASTATING PROBABLY GET WITH THAT LATER, OKAY? MM.
ALRIGHT WE'D LOVE TO KNOW WHERE THAT IS. BUT MAYBE AS AN EXAMPLE , JONATHAN, IF YOU COULD POINT OUT AMERICA'S STREET THAT'S ONE OF THE GREEN LINES. I THINK. SEE IF THERE'S IF THERE'S A LASER POINTER. OKAY, OKAY. THIS CORRIDOR. THIS WOULD BE ONE EXAMPLE OF THE STREET. THERE IS A DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED IN THIS AREA. I BELIEVE IT'S CALLED CAROLINE. AND THEY WILL BE BUILDING CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS NETWORK. SEE THESE CORRIDORS GO FROM INDIAN MOUND TO THEIR INTERNAL LOOP ROAD. IT ALSO CONNECTS TO ALLAH PATH TO FUTURE DEVELOPMENT WILL COME IN AND CONTINUE THAT ROADWAY. WARD. SO RYAN. THE IDEA IS AS DEVELOPMENT COMES IN. THEY BUILD THIS ROAD. AGAIN IT IS THE ALIGNMENTS THEMSELVES. THERE ARE BEST GUESSTIMATE TODAY. UM YOU KNOW THEY ARE SUBJECT TO MOVE AROUND AS A DEVELOPMENT SHIFTS. BUT REALLY, THE INTENT IS IT ISN'T JUST THEM PICKING WHATEVER THE SHORTEST PATH IS TO A TO B. IT'S THEM BUILDING THE ROADWAY THROUGH THEIR DEVELOPMENT. TO THEN CONNECT TO THE OTHER DEVELOPMENT IN THE FUTURE, OR TO CONNECT ALL THE WAY TO THE ACTUAL MAJOR RAILWAY IMPROVEMENT. AND SO ABSENT THIS.
IT'S JUST WHATEVER DEVELOPER COMES IN AND WANTS TO BUILD. THAT'S WHAT THEY BUILD. SO THIS REALLY STARTS TO SET THAT AT LEAST THE DESCRIPTION THE PLANS FOR THAT, UM, BECAUSE WITHOUT IT YOU'RE JUST GOING TO GET HAPHAZARD DEVELOPMENT AND YOU'RE GONNA GET DEVELOPMENT THAT GATED SUBDIVISION OR A BUNCH OF CULTISTS ACTS AND NOTHING CONNECTS TO ANYTHING ELSE. SO IT'S REALLY YOU KNOW, THE VILLAGE HAS NOT BEEN INUNDATED WITH DEVELOPMENT YET. BUT I WON'T YOU KNOW, I WORK. TO THE SOUTH THERE AND SEVERAL COMMUNITIES IN PALM BEACH COUNTY . I WORK UP IN THE CITY OF PORT ST LUCIE, YOU KNOW, THOSE AREAS ARE JUST BOOMING IN TERMS OF DEVELOPMENT. AND LANDS GETTING MORE AND MORE EXPENSIVE, AND SO WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS DEVELOPERS ARE GOING TO START LOOKING FOR ONE AREAS THAT ARE RELATIVELY DRY. UM CHEAPER LAND.
AND FLAT. YOU KNOW, NOT A WHOLE LOT OF TREES AND INDEED, IN TOWN'S GOT ALL THREE. YOU KNOW, IT'S GOT LITTLE LAND THAT'S NOT AS EXPENSIVE AS PALM BEACH AND I WAS EXPENSIVE AS UM POOR ST LUCIE. UM FOR THE MOST PARLIAMENT, WATER DRAINS PRETTY WELL TO THE CANAL. AND A LOT OF ITS FARMING. OR OLDER FARMING. AND SO IT'S CLEAR IT'S FLAT AND IT'S YOU KNOW, FROM A DEVELOPER STANDPOINT, IT'S IDEAL FOR DEVELOPMENT. UM AND REALLY, WE'RE TRYING TO SET THE STAGE.
SO THAT INDIAN TOWN DOESN'T LOOK LIKE SO MUCH ELSE OF FLORIDA WHERE DEVELOPMENT JUST COMES IN . THEY BUILD THEIR SHARE OF IT, AND THEY PUT A CALL TO SACK AT THE END OF IT. AND THEN THAT'S IT. SO THEN THAT OTHER PERSON'S GOTTA GO THREE MILES OUT OF THEIR ROAD OUT OF THEIR WAY TO GET TO. IT WAS OPPOSED TO THEM JUST CONNECTING THEIR ROADWAYS THROUGH. AND YES, MA'AM. LEARN THEM. HOW CAN UM, A NEW DEVELOPER COME IN? LIKE THAT TRICK TRAILER PLACE UP IN THE TRACK THE PLACE UP THERE. AND THE COUNTY. TAKES THE MONEY. WHAT WHAT IS THE VILLAGE DOING? I MEAN, WHAT DID THAT STIPULATIONS? I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. MHM. IT'S ACTUALLY GOES BACK. QUITE A FEW YEARS, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S NOT JUST UNIQUE TO THE VILLAGE. IT'S
[00:45:06]
UNIQUE TO ALL FLORIDA SO. EVERYTHING'S TECHNICALLY LEGALLY. CONTROLLED BY THE STATE OF FLORIDA. YOU KNOW THE CONSTITUTION. OKAY I GOT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOES X Y AND Z OR THE STATES DO X, Y AND Z. WHATEVER IT SAYS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOESN'T DO THE STATES DON'T DO SO THEN THE STATES CREATED COUNTIES. OKAY AND THEN EACH ONE OF THOSE COUNTIES HAS THE MUNICIPALITY. SO THE MUNICIPALITY IS THE LOWEST ENTITY ON THE TOTEM POLE. THEN YOU GOT THE COUNTY. THEN YOU GOT THE STATE AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER LAYER. IN THERE YOU HAVE WHAT'S KNOWN AS CHARTER COUNTIES , PALM BEACH COUNTY TO THE SOUTH OF YOU AS A CHARTER COUNTY. THEY HAVE THEIR YOU'RE GOVERNED. MARTIN COUNTY IS GOVERNED BY WHATEVER'S IN FLORIDA STATUTE.PALM BEACH COUNTY HAS ITS OWN SET OF RULES. IN ADDITION TO FLORIDA STATUTE AND SO, REALLY, WHAT HAPPENS IS THE COUNTIES WERE THE ONES DOING ALL THE PLANNING DOING ALL THE ROADWAYS . UM THE VILLAGE ITSELF HAS ONLY BEEN A MUNICIPALITY WHAT FOUR YEARS NOW? YEAH FOR IT'S ONLY BEEN IN ITS OWN INCORPORATED AREA FOR FOUR YEARS. UM BUT YOU KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE. COUNTY VERSUS CITY VERSUS MUNICIPALITY. UM I HAD TO SAY MUNICIPALITY BECAUSE THIS IS THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. IT'S SOMETHING TALENTED ANY DOWN. IT'S SOMETHING CITY OF INDIAN TOWN.
MOST PLACES IN FLORIDA CITIES, UM BUT IT'S AN ISSUE IN PALM BEACH COUNTY TO THE SOUTH. IT'S AN ISSUE IN ST LUCIE CARON TO THE NORTH, THE COUNTY'S HISTORICALLY COLLECTED THE MONEY'S THE CITY'S HAVEN'T THE CITIES OF WHERE A LOT OF THE GROWTH IS OCCURRING. YEAH NOW THERE'S A BIG PUSH TO SAY. YOU CAN'T JUST KEEP TAKING THE MONEY OUT AND NOT SPENDING IT BECAUSE WE HAVE REAL NEEDS HERE. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE MISSING SIDEWALKS HERE. WE DON'T HAVE RAILWAYS HERE OR YOU KNOW OUR RAILWAYS ARE CRUMBLING. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TRAFFIC CALMING ISSUES. WE DON'T HAVE TRANSIT STOPS. YOU KNOW, THEY'RE VERY REAL NEEDS. WITHIN THE VILLAGE TODAY. THAT AREN'T ADDRESSED BY THE COUNTY'S CURRENT SYSTEM. AND REALLY, THIS IS. I ALSO I MEAN, YOU KNOW FOR THE VILLAGE ONLY BEING FOUR YEARS OLD, TECHNICALLY AS PART OF ITS OWN ENTITY, IT'S DONE A LOT. TO GAIN CONTROL, UM, AT LEAST IN BEING RESPONSIVE TO ITS RESIDENTS, AND THIS IS SORT OF THAT NEXT BIG STEP. BECAUSE OTHERWISE, WHAT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAPPEN IS AS A TRACTOR SUPPLY COMES IN AS A BIG DEVELOPMENT COMES IN. YOU KNOW, WE'VE ESTIMATED THEIR FEES COULD BE ANYWHERE FROM $7,000,010 MILLION. THAT MONEY WOULD ALL GO TO MARTIN COUNTY. $7 MILLION WOULD FUND EVERY SINGLE SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS THAT YOU HAVE SHOWN ON THIS PLAN. SO THAT ONE DEVELOPMENT PAYING THOSE FEES WOULD PAY FOR ALL THE SIDEWALK GAPS. IN THIS COMMUNITY. THE OTHER THING THAT THIS PLAN ITSELF IS BEING USED FOR THERE ARE STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDS THAT GET PROCESSED EVERY YEAR AS PART OF WHAT'S KNOWN AS THE METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION. AND THEY HAVE WHAT SOUNDS OF 2045 LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN. THAT GOVERNS HOW THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION GETS MONEY FOR WAR FIELD GETS MONEY FOR CANNER . IT GOVERNS HOW MARTIN COUNTY GETS STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDS FROM MARTIN HIGHWAY. FOR CITRUS.
IT ALSO GOVERNS HOW INDIAN TOWN GETS MONEY AS WELL. BUT UP UNTIL THIS PLAN YOU KNOW ALL THE OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND MUCH LONGER. THEY HAVE PLANS LIKE THIS. THEY'VE HAD NETWORKS. THEY'VE HAD CORRIDORS AND PROJECTS IDENTIFIED IN THE LONG RANGE PLAN. INDIAN TOWN HASN'T ONE SISTER GETS ADOPTED. IT GETS GOES INTO THE VILLAGES, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THEN LEGALLY, THE LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN HAS TO REFLECT THIS PLAN, THEN THAT MAKES THOSE PROJECTS ELIGIBLE FOR STATE, FEDERAL AND COUNTY FUNDING. RIGHT NOW. YOU KNOW, THE VILLAGE HAS DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB GETTING MONEY. FROM THE STATE FROM GETTING OTHERS APPLYING FOR GRANTS. BUT YOU KNOW IT'S AN UPHILL BATTLE BECAUSE YOU'RE COMPETING AGAINST A LOT OF OTHER MUNICIPALITIES. ONCE YOU HAVE A PLAN AND SAY, WELL, LOOK, THIS IS OUR THIS IS A PRIORITY OF OUR COMMUNITY. IT'S ALREADY PROGRAMMED. IT'S ALREADY IN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. YOU KNOW IT CHECKS ALL THESE BOXES TO THEN BE ELIGIBLE FOR OTHER FUNDING SOURCES. SO I WOULD SAY IN MOST COMMUNITIES I WORK IN HALF OF THE PLANS. ARE EITHER BUILT BY DEVELOPERS OR THEY'RE FUNDED BY STATE AND FEDERAL SOURCES. UM YOU KNOW THE COUNTY OR STATES COMING IN AND THEY'RE RESURFACING THE ROADWAY , SO THEY MAKE IMPROVEMENTS AS PART OF THAT RESURFACING. A UTILITY COMPANIES COMING IN AND CHANGING ITS LINES. THEY MAKE IMPROVEMENTS AS PART OF DOING
[00:50:04]
THAT UTILITY UPGRADE. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS GOING OUT THERE. YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW SOMEBODY COMES IN AND COMES WANTS TO DO WORK. WOW. YOU KNOW WITHIN WHAT WHAT SOUNDS A RIGHT OF WAY. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A UNDERLYING COUNTY OR STATE OR CITY OWNED PROPERTY UNDER ALL THESE ROADWAYS. RIGHT NOW. SOMEBODY COMES IN FOR A PERMIT TO DO SOMETHING ON THERE. THEY LOOK IN THE CITY'S PLAN OR THE VILLAGERS PLAN. THERE'S NOTHING SAYING IN THERE THEY COME IN THERE NOW AND SAY, WELL, LOOK, IF YOU'RE GONNA TEAR THAT ROAD UP YOU KNOW, THIS IS IDENTIFIED AS A TRAFFIC HOME IMPROVEMENT. THIS IS IDENTIFIED AS A SIDEWALK . THIS IS IDENTIFIED AS SOME NEED. WE HAVE SOME ABILITY FOR YOU MONEY HERE. WHY YOU'RE DOING THAT? CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE THIS IMPROVEMENT? AND THAT'S REALLY HOW LOT OF THESE THINGS GET FUNDED. UM YEAH, I HATE TO SAY IT, BUT I MEAN TRANSPORTATION SOMETIMES AND AS AN OPPORTUNISTIC UM WAY TO GET IMPROVEMENTS DONE. AND THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY COMING OUT OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS A LOT OF MONEY TO THE STATE HAS RIGHT NOW AND THEY ARE FUNDING AND THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THESE TYPE OF IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE ALREADY APPROVED BY COMMUNITIES. SO THEY DON'T YOU KNOW? THE STATE OF FLORIDA DOESN'T HAVE TO GO OUT AND HOLD THESE WORKSHOPS AND DO A YEAR'S WORTH OF PLANNING. THEY CAN JUST SAY THIS PROJECT'S ALREADY BEEN VETTED. HERE VILLAGE. HERE'S SOME FUNDING FOR THAT, UM AND MOVE FORWARD WITH IT. SO IT REALLY IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE YEAH. WELL THESE ARE JUST LINES ON A MAP. THEY ACTUALLY DO MEAN A LOT, AND THEY DO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE VILLAGE TO GET A LOT OF FUNDING. UM, AVAILABLE TO IT. AND SO. UM THE AREAS THAT YOU SEE IN THE LIGHTER BLUE. THOSE ARE FILLING IN SIDEWALK APPS. UM. WHAT WE'VE DONE IN TERMS OF THE SIDEWALK NETWORK. IS MOST OF THE LOCAL ROADS TO THEY HAVE A SIDEWALK OUT ON AT LEAST ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SO YOU DON'T NECESSARILY GO OUT AND PRIORITIZE THE RAILWAY TO HAVE SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES WHEN YOU HAVE AREAS IN YOUR COMMUNITY TO HAVE NO SIDEWALKS AT ALL, YOU KNOW, SO THE BASE PLAN IS EVERY ROAD HAS A SIDEWALK. THAT'S WHERE YOU START FROM. AND THEN ONCE YOU'VE MET THAT GOAL, THEN YOU CAN START ADDING ON ADDITIONAL SIDEWALKS TO IT. SO WHILE THERE ARE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S OTHER PROGRAMS IN THERE. TO ADDRESS, YOU KNOW. SCHOOL SCHOOLS, PARKS , YOU KNOW, MAKING SOME TYPE OF SITE IMPROVEMENTS. THE MAP ITSELF SPECIFICALLY CALLS OUT THE SIDEWALKS ON THE STREETS THAT HAVE NO FACILITY AT ALL TODAY. AND THOSE REALLY NEED TO BE THE PRIORITY. SO ONCE YOU GOT A SIDE WALKING EVERYWHERE, THEN YOU CAN GO BACK AND START TO LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, ADDING ANOTHER SIDEWALK TO THE YOU KNOW OTHER ROADWAYS, BUT YOU REALLY GOT TO HAVE YOUR BASE. BECAUSE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR PEOPLE WALKING AND BICYCLING IS SAFETY AND CONNECTIVITY. SO YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT WALKING ON THIS NICE SIDEWALK. AND THEN ALL OF SUDDEN YOU'RE CROSSING THE STREET AND YOU'RE WALKING IN THE STREET OR YOU'RE WALKING IN A DITCH. UM AND THAT'S VERY COMMON IN FLORIDA. IT'S VERY IT'S A LOT OF PLACES. YEAH, YEAH. AND SO THAT'S REALLY YOU KNOW, THE PLAN ITSELF IS EMPHASIZING MAKING THOSE CONNECTIONS FIRST. AND THEN. THESE LEGALLY ALSO HAVE TO BE UPDATED EVERY FIVE YEARS. SO FIVE YEARS FROM NOW WE'LL BE ABLE TO EVALUATE THE PROGRESS AND COME IN WITH AN UPDATED MAP AND HOPEFULLY, THOSE LIGHT BLUE LINES THERE ARE YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE THE TOP PRIORITY. THOSE ARE ROADWAYS, EXISTING ROADS WITH NO SIDEWALKS AT ALL ON THEM TODAY. UM AND THEN A COUPLE OF THE OTHER BIG COUNT SO MOST OF THE BLUE LINES THOSE ARE THE COUNTY ROADWAYS. ALSO YOUR BIGGER CORRIDORS. UM AND SO FOR THOSE I USED TO CARRY MORE TRAFFIC WE ARE LOOKING AT HAVING A WIDER PATH ON IT, UM, THE LIGHT BLUE OR OUR VILLAGE CONTROLLED RAILWAYS, AND THOSE ARE ONES THAT DON'T HAVE SIDEWALKS AT ALL TODAY. THE ORANGE IS FILLING IN THE GAPS LIKE THIS IS JUST A GAP IN THE NETWORK AND YOU WANT TO[3.
Question & Answers
]ACTUALLY MAKE THAT ROBOT CONNECTION GET HURT, AND THEN I'LL GET YOU PLEASE TAKE YOUR NAME FIRST AND THEN MAKE YOUR COMMENT. ACTUALLY FIRST. OH, ALL RIGHT. LINDA AND I COME AGAIN.UM ITS SENSE SINCE THE INCORPORATION OF THE VILLAGE. UM THOSE OF US LIVING IN INDIAN WOULD HAVE BEEN TEASED CONSTANTLY ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING ABLE TO SENIORS HAVING ACCESS BY WAY OF GOLF CARTS. NO I KNOW THAT THERE ARE SPECIAL RULES.
[00:55:04]
THAT HAVE TO BE. APPLIED TO THE GOLF CARTS IN ORDER TO MAKE THEM STREETS SAFE AND THAT'S ALL ANOTHER ISSUE. BUT ARE ANY OF THE. PROPOSED UH, CONNECTIONS BETWEEN. INDIAN WOOD AND THE DOWNTOWN AREA. UM ARE THEY GOING TO HAVE UH, SIDEWALKS OR MULTI USE ACCESS THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE GOLF CARTS. GREAT QUESTION. AND YES, THEY ARE, AS YOU SAW SOME OF THOSE NEWER UM RODEWAY SEXUAL. SEE? GO! GO BACK HERE. SO THOSE YOU KNOW. IT ISN'T NECESSARILY GONNA BE RED.WHEN THEY BUILD IT. IT'S JUST STARTED TO EMPHASIZE IT, BUT THOSE FACILITIES THAT ARE SHOWN IN RED, THOSE ARE ACTUALLY WOULD ACCOMMODATE GOLF CARTS, ELECTRIC SCOOTERS. AND BICYCLES SO THOSE WOULD BE BUILT ON THE NEW ROADS. AND THEN AS I TALKED TO THEIR SEVERAL PROGRAMS AS PART OF THIS PLAN, ONE OF THE PROGRAMS IS A GOLF CART ORDINANCE AND A SCOOTER ORDINANCE TO ACTUALLY ALLOW AND SET IN PLACE. THE ABILITY TO USE GOLF CARTS TO GET AROUND TO USE SCOOTERS, AND THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE ACTUALLY YOU KNOW, A BIG BUS. YOU KNOW SOME OF THE BUSSES THAT YOU MAY SEE THAT THE TRANSIT AUTHORITY THOSE COSTS 500,000 UPWARDS $2 MILLION APIECE.
DECENT GOLF CART. 7500. $10,000 AND YOU CAN GET A STATE AND FEDERAL GRANT TO PAY FOR IT COMPLETELY. THE VILLAGE COULD START TO PURCHASE THOSE GOLF CARTS AND JUST RUN A COMMUNITY CIRCULATOR AROUND RIGHT NOW, I CAN'T BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY ALLOW THEM TO ROADWAYS. BUT AS YOU PUT THAT SYSTEM IN PLACE, THAT'S A RELATIVELY LOW COST IMPROVEMENT.
THE VILLAGE CAN DO ON ITS OWN USING PART OF THESE FUNDS, OR, YOU KNOW HAVING THESE PLANS TO GET MATCHING FUNDS FOR IT. AND THEY COULD JUST START RUNNING THIS SERVICE OR, YOU KNOW SOME PLACES. ONCE WE'VE ALLOWED THESE , THEY'LL START WRITING THEM. THEY'LL START SELLING THEM, THEY'LL START BUYING THEM. AND COMPARED TO A MOTOR VEHICLE. IT'S A RELATIVELY AFFORDABLE MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. UM AND MORE AND MORE SO, UM AS YOUR SPEEDS ARE A LITTLE BIT SLOWER, AND IT'S SAFER TO DO SO THEY DO BECOME MORE AND MORE VIABLE. SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, YES, THE NEW FACILITIES WILL HAVE IT. AND THERE IS A PLAN IN PLACE. THAT WHEN YOU GO FROM THOSE NEW FACILITIES TO SAY, A LOCAL ROAD WITH THAT LOCAL ROAD IS POSTED AT 25 MILES AN HOUR LOWER AND ILLEGALLY ALLOWS THE GOLF CART ON IT. YOU CAN WRITE IT ON THE STREET. AND THEN YOU CAN HAVE OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA APPROVED TO ACTUALLY CROSS WAR FIELD NOW. IT'S VERY UNLIKELY ANYTIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE, YOU'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO RIDE ALONG WAR FIELD, BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN STATES ROADS IN FLORIDA, WHERE THEY'VE GOTTEN OUT OF AUTHORITY. ONE D O T DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION HAS TO APPROVE IT. TWO. THE FACILITY HAS TO BE AT LEAST EIGHT FT WIDE. AND SO THE PLANS THAT WE HAVE FOR WAR FIELD CALL FOR EIGHT FT. WIDE FACILITIES, SO IN THE FUTURE, YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT. YES, MA'AM, YOU KNOW. QUESTION MY NAME IS FELLAS.
WATER'S BROWN. I WANTED TO KNOW. CAN YOU GO BACK TO YOUR MAP? ONE? YES, MA'AM. YOU SAID THE LIGHT BLUE OR TEAL COLOR. I GUESS THAT WOULD BE. YES, MA'AM . THOSE ARE ALL THE STREETS WITHOUT SIDEWALKS, CORRECT. ON THOSE STREETS WITHOUT SIDEWALK. THERE IS ONE AND I THINK IT'S ONLY ONE IN BOOK OF PARK THAT DOESN'T HAVE A SIDEWALK. IT'S CALLED MAGNOLIA IS THAT IN YOUR REALM OF THERE WILL BE A SIDEWALK ON EITHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. IF IT'S WITHIN THE VILLAGE , AND IT'S NOT SHOWING THIS MAP , THEN WE'LL MAKE SURE IT'S ADDED TO IT. I BELIEVE I BELIEVE MAGNOLIA IS ONE OF THE CORRIDORS THAT IS IDENTIFIED BECAUSE WE TRIED TO CAPTURE ALL THE LOCAL ROADS. THAT DIDN'T HAVE A SIDEWALK ON THEM. UM IF WE MISSED ONE. WE DEFINITELY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT. UM BUT IT WAS OUR INTENT TO CAPTURE ANY LOCAL ROAD THAT DIDN'T HAVE A SIDEWALK ON IT. SO WHAT ARE THE WHAT ARE THE PARAMETERS THAT NEED TO BE SET PRIOR TO THE SIDEWALK? LIKE HOW MUCH SPACE DO YOU NEED IT TO BE BEFORE? THERE'S A SIDEWALK. THAT'S A VERY NARROW STREET. SO TYPICALLY. WHAT HAPPENS IS THE RIGHT OF WAY. THERE'S TWO TYPES OF RIGHT AWAY, EITHER GOVERNMENT
[01:00:01]
OWNS IT TODAY. AND IT'S ALREADY PLATTER. INDEED INTO THE VILLAGE OF THE CITY OR THE COUNTY. THE OTHER ONE IS WHAT'S KNOWN AS A PRESCRIPTIVE RIGHT OF WAY. AND THAT'S WHERE THE VILLAGE OR ANYBODY MOSES OR MAINTAINS IT. THAT'S ESSENTIALLY BECOMES. RIGHT AWAY. THERE MAY BE CERTAIN CORRIDORS WHERE IT'S LIMITED BUT GENERALLY THE RIGHT OF WAY GOES ANYWHERE FROM 5 TO 10 FT. BEYOND THE ASPHALT. SO IF YOU HAVE A PAY LINE HERE GENERAL RIGHTS OF WAY. GO ANYWHERE FROM FIVE FT.UPWARDS 20 FT BEYOND THE EXISTING PAVEMENT. NOW THERE ARE THERE MAY BE SOME CORRIDORS.
THERE MAY BE SOME CORRIDORS WILL THAT DOESN'T EXIST. UM AND THAT INSTANCE YOU KNOW, THEY WOULD HAVE TO NOT THIS THERE'S TWO COMPONENTS. ONE IT AT THE ACTUALLY ACQUIRE PROPERTY. THE OTHER IS AND WHAT SOME COMMUNITIES ARE DOING TO GET SOMETHING IN REALLY QUICKLY. SO YOU HAVE A 20 FT WIDE STREET. YOU COULD ACTUALLY STRIPE A SECTION OF IT FOUR FT. WIDE OR FIVE FT WIDE. PUTTING NOTES IN THEIR PEDESTRIAN ONLY SO THEN THE VEHICLE AREA GOES FROM 20 FT WIDE. TO 15 FT WIDE AND THEN YOU GAIN FIVE FT. FOR SOMEBODY TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO SAFELY WALK.
ON THE PAVEMENT ITSELF AS A QUICK INTERIM MEASURE. UM THAT'S NOT A LONG TERM SOLUTION, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE RELATIVELY QUICKLY. ABOUT $5000 A MILE SO YOU COULD ALMOST COVER YOU KNOW A GOOD PORTION OF ALL THOSE ROADWAYS. UM YOU KNOW, WITH A 5 $10,000 GRANT. YOU CAN ACTUALLY STRIPED, UH, PEDESTRIAN AREA REALLY QUICKLY. UM THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT A LOT OF COMMUNITIES ARE DOING. AND THEN IF THERE'S DEMAND FOR IT, THEY SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE USING IT.
THEN THEY GO OUT AND THEY START TO SET THE PARAMETERS TO ACTUALLY ACQUIRE THE RIGHT AWAY TO PUT ASIDE. WALK ON IT. SOME OF EVEN JUST PUT ASIDE WALK OVER THAT ASPHALT AND THEY SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT? WE'RE GONNA PERMANENTLY REDUCED HIS LANE WITH WE'RE JUST GOING TO PUT A RAISE FACILITY ON WHERE THAT ROADWAY USED TO BE A CHECK TO SEE IF THAT EXISTS, BECAUSE WHEN TWO CARS MEETING EACH OTHER ON THAT STREET THERE'S NO WHERE FOR ANYBODY, BUDDY. GO OKAY, SO REALLY CLOSE, SO IT MAY BE REAL AND SOME OF THESE ROADS COULD BE NARROWER. UM SOME OF THEM QUITE HONESTLY COULD HAVE JUST BEEN DRY. NOT EVEN QUOTE A ROADWAY, BUT MORE LIKE A DRIVEWAY. ACCESS UM YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. OF AN ANIMAL THAT'S NOT AN ACTUAL ROAD OR RIGHT OF WAY. WE WOULDN'T HAVE CAPTURED IT ON HERE. IF IT IS AN ACTUAL CLASSIFIED AS A ROAD WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO, UM UM, CAPTURE THAT I'LL DOUBLE CHECK THAT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE LOOKING AT IT. FULL OF QUESTIONS TONIGHT. UM THIS IS A TWO PARTER AND THEN AND THEN I'LL WALK MY LIPS. LONDON ICON OF COURSE, OF COURSE I KNOW WHO I AM. UM JUST THIS PLAN NEED TO BE APPROVED EITHER BY COUNTY OR STATE. THAT'S THE FIRST PART OF THE QUESTION. SECONDLY, ELSE. AS AN EXPERT IN THIS FIELD. YOU'VE WORKED ON THESE IN OTHER PLACES. WE NOW KNOW ALL THE PROS. ALL THE GOOD POINTS FOR HAVING THIS PLAN IN EFFECT. WHAT ARE THE CONS? WHAT WHAT ELSE ARE WE EVEN THINKING ABOUT THAT COULD POTENTIALLY COME UP. UH, BOTH VERY GOOD QUESTION. SO THE FIRST PART IS THE VILLAGE ALREADY HAS POLICIES IN ITS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO SAY THE VILLAGE WAS GOING TO DO THIS, SO, SO THEY ALREADY PRE PLANNED TO SAY WE ARE GOING TO DEVELOP A MOBILITY PLAN. AND DEVELOPMENT MOBILITY FEE. SO THAT HAS ALREADY GONE THROUGH THE COUNTY REVIEW PROCESS THAT'S ALREADY GONE THROUGH THE STATE REVIEW PROCESS. SO NOW THAT THE CARNY DOES NOT APPROVE THIS ESTATE DOESN'T IMPROVE IT. IT IS SOLELY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL, SO THEY APPROVE IT. IT THEN GOES INTO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. UM SO THAT PART'S ALREADY ESTABLISHED.
THE PROS. I'VE MENTIONED SEVERAL OF THEM THE CONS. YOU KNOW, WE HAD A CONVERSATION YESTERDAY WITH MARIN COUNTY. UM YOU KNOW? ULTIMATELY WHEN YOU COLLECT MONEY, IT COMES DOWN TO PRIORITY CONTROL AND POWER AND WHO SPENDS IT AND WHO HAS THE POWER TO SPEND IT. THAT'S PROBABLY THE BIGGEST CON WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND WORK THROUGH WITH THE COUNTY AS WE GO THROUGH THIS
[01:05:02]
PROCESS. IS WHO ULTIMATELY CONTROLS THAT MONEY BECAUSE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, JUST TAKE, FOR EXAMPLE, UM, THE TERRA LAGO DEVELOPMENT. THAT'S ANYWHERE FROM 7 TO $10 MILLION.THAT THE COUNTY WOULD HAVE BEEN COLLECTING THAT NOW WILL BE STAYING WITHIN THE VILLAGE.
IMPACT THESE IMPACT FEES. NO, RIGHT. NO, NOT NOT REOCCURRING PROPERTY TAX REVENUE, JUST THE FEES THEMSELVES THERE. WE OUR PROPERTY. OUR PROPERTY TAX GOES TO THE VILLAGE STAYS IN THE VILLAGE. WELL I MEAN, DEPENDING ON THE MILLAGE RATES, A PORTION OF IT GOES TO PAY FOR CARRYING SERVICES. A PORTION OF IT GOES TO PAY FOR MUNICIPAL SERVICES WITHIN THE VILLAGE. SO YES, ANY NEW DEVELOPMENT. IT STAYS IN THE VILLAGE. THOSE PROPERTY TAX REVENUES. STAY WITHIN THE VILLAGE. WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OTHER MOBILITY FEES, AND SO RIGHT NOW, THE IMPACT FEES I'LL GO TO THE COUNTY. THEY DON'T ANY OF NONE OF THEM STAY WITHIN THE VILLAGE. THIS CHANGES THAT DYNAMIC SO PROBABLY THE BIGGEST CON ON THESE. IS THE. BACK AND FORTH THAT'S GOING TO PLAY OUT LIKELY OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND THE VILLAGE. UM AND JUST TO THE SOUTH. IT'S GOING AND IT'S. A YEAR AND A HALF. NOW THE LAWSUIT BETWEEN PALM BEACH COUNTY AND PALM BEACH GARDENS OVER THIS VERY ISSUE OF WHO COLLECTS AND WHO CONTROLS THE FEES. AND JUST TO YOUR YOUR NEIGHBOR TO THE NORTH ST LUCIE COUNTY IMPORTS ST LUCIE. WE WERE IN A YEAR LONG MEDIATION. OVER THIS VERY QUESTION. OF WHO CONTROLS UM IN THE COMMUNITY TO THE NORTH. THE COUNTY ACTUALLY HAD A LOT OF ROAD IMPROVEMENTS. RIGHT ADJACENT TO THE CITY THAT IT WAS BUILDING. IN THE CITY DID HAVE SOME IMPACT. SO ULTIMATELY , THEY CAME UP TO A AGREEMENT WHERE THEY SPLIT THE REVENUES. THIS COMMUNITY SIMILAR TO PALM BEACH GARDENS. AS OF RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE NO COUNTY PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS. SO, YOU KNOW, PART OF THE SO WHEN YOU'RE ASKING AND DEVELOPMENT TO PAY MONEY ONE OF THE LEGAL TEST ARE THERE HAS TO BE A NEED FOR IMPROVEMENTS LIKE THAT DEVELOPMENTS GENERATING TRAFFIC. THEREFORE, THERE'S A NEED TO ACCOMMODATE THAT DEVELOPMENT. BUT THAT DEVELOPMENT ALSO SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE A BENEFIT. I E. IF THEY PAY THAT MONEY, WHAT DO THEY GET FOR IT? WELL RIGHT NOW, WHEN THEY PAY THAT MONEY, IT CAN BE SPENT AS I MENTIONED ANYWHERE FROM SHELBY COUNTY LINE. TO ST LUCIE COUNTY LINE TO PALM BEACH COUNTY LINE. ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE. ANYWHERE IN THAT WHOLE AREA. ANY FUNDS PAID SO THAT THE RAILWAY IMPACT FEE PAID BY TRACTOR SUPPLY. THAT MONEY CAN BE SPENT TO IMPROVE.
CITRUS BOULEVARD OR 96. OR RATHER THAN BREAK. IN THE CAR. HE CAN LEGALLY DO THAT UNDER THEIR SYSTEM WELL, THE WAY IT'S STRUCTURED. THEY CAN DO THAT UNDER THEIR SYSTEM. UM HAVE MORE OF WHAT'S A REAL RATIONAL NEXUS. DEVELOPMENT THAT PAYS IN THIS COMMUNITY. YOU SEE WHAT THE VILLAGE HAS TO FIND. THIS IS BASICALLY SAYING OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS. THIS IS WHAT THE VILLAGE INTENDS TO PURSUE AS PART OF OUR NETWORK AND AS FUNDS COME IN, AND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SPEND THEM ON. UM AND I DO HAVE A MAP SHOWING THIS SO WHEN THESE FUNDS ARE PAID THEY ACTUALLY HAVE TO BE PUT IN A SEPARATE ACCOUNT, THEY CANNOT BE PUT INTO GENERAL REVENUES.
BECAUSE BECAUSE THEY'RE AN ASSESSMENT BECAUSE THEY'RE AN EXACT ACTION. THEY HAVE TO BE SPENT ON WHAT THEY'RE COLLECTED FOR. SO IF THEY'RE PAID FOR MOBILITY FEES THEY CAN'T BE SPENT FOR A FIRE STATION. THEY CAN'T BE SPENT TO PAY FOR STAFF. THEY CAN'T BE SPENT, UM YOU KNOW, AT A NEW PARK. THEY'VE GOT TO BE SPENT ON ADDING A SIDEWALK, ADDING A BIKE LANE FIXING A ROADWAY, ADDING A TRANSIT STOP. THEY'VE GOT TO BE SPENT ON THOSE FUNDS SO AND THERE'S A STATE OF FLORIDA REQUIREMENT. THAT EVERY YEAR EACH LOCAL GOVERNMENT HAS HIS FEES HAS TO REPORT WHAT THEY'VE COLLECTED. AND WHAT THEY'VE SPENT. SO THERE WAS ACTUALLY AN ANNUAL AUDIT REQUIREMENT. UM THAT ANY ANY LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND MUNICIPALITY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA THAT HAS ANY OF THESE FEES THEY HAVE TO EVERY YEAR DOCUMENT AND TRANSMIT TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA WHAT THEY COLLECTED AND WHAT THEY SPEND. YES, MA'AM. YES. THANK YOU.
[01:10:03]
SUSAN GIBBS. THOMAS DID YOU SAY JUST A MOMENT AGO THAT MOVING FORWARD TERRA LAGO. THE VILLAGE WILL BE THE RECIPIENT OF THOSE IMPACT PHASE. UNDER THIS PROPOSAL. THE VILLAGE IS DEVELOPING A MOBILITY FEE RIGHT NOW THAT MONEY GETS PAID TO MARTIN COUNTY. UNDER THIS PROGRAM, THAT MONEY WOULD BE PAID TO THE VILLAGES AND IT WOULD STAY WITHIN THE VILLAGES.OKAY SO THE VILLAGE I'M SORRY. THE VILLAGES IF IT IS A COMMUNITY OF THE NORTH HERE, SO, SO THIS IS ADOPTED. MOBILITY FEE APPLIES. IMPACT FEES DO NOT. OR IS THE MOBILITY FEE ON TOP OF THE IMPACT FEES? RIGHT NOW IN THE IN TOWN IS THE MUNICIPALITY THAT ISSUES OF BUILDING PERMITS.
SO WE BELIEVE THAT IT'S INDIAN TOWN THAT HAS THE AUTHORITY TO DO THIS. UM THE COUNTY MAY STILL ATTEMPT TO CHARGE FEES. OUT THERE, UM, AND DEVELOPMENT WOULD HAVE SEVERAL LEGAL OPTIONS AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING THROUGH. DISCUSSIONS WITH MARTIN COUNTY ON WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO ASSESS WHAT OR WHAT SHARE OF IT . UM BUT RIGHT NOW WE ARE MUNICIPALITY STATE OF FLORIDA ALLOWS ANY LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND THE MUNICIPALITY TO DO THIS. MARTIN COUNTY IS NOT A CHARTER COUNTY SO THEY DON'T HAVE SPECIAL POWERS OR PREEMPTIONS. UNLIKE TO THE SOUTH PALM BEACH COUNTY IS A CHARTER COUNTY AND SPECIFICALLY HAS IN ITS CHARTER PROVISIONS RELATED TO IMPACT FEES. MARTIN COUNTY DOES NOT HAVE THAT MARTIN COUNTY IS GOVERNED BY FLORIDA STATUTE. SO IT IS OUR. POSITION. UM, POSITION THAT. THE MOBILITY IF HE WOULD BE THE COLLECTED AT THE INDIAN TOWN HAS THE TOP PRIORITY IF MARTIN COUNTY WANTS TO TRY TO ASSESS A FEAT IN ADDITION TO THAT, MARTIN COUNTY WOULD HAVE TO JUSTIFY HOW IT CAN ASSESS THAT. WHY CAN ASSESS IT AND WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE SPENT ON OKAY, SO AS LONG AS IT'S WITHIN THE MUNICIPALITIES BOUNDARIES, IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHO CONTROLS THE ROAD LIKE CITRUSY. ALLAH PATA WEST FARM ROAD. THE COUNTY RETAINED THOSE NOW, 7 10 IS A STATE ROAD. OKAY SO IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE WHO CONTROLS THE ROAD AS LONG AS IT'S WHEN WITHIN THE MUNICIPALITY THAN THE MUNICIPALITY WOULD GET THE MOBILITY FEE. THAT IS OUR POSITION. AND THERE'S NOTHING IN FLORIDA STATUTE THAT SAYS AS IT RELATES TO IMPACT FEES. THERE IS NO CITY IMPACT THE COUNTY IMPACT FOR THE STATE IMPACT V. THERE IS NO CITY MOBILITY, CANDY MOBILITY. IF HE STATE MOBILITY, THERE IS A MOBILITY FEE OR A IMPACT FEE. AND ESSENTIALLY THE ENTITY THAT ISSUES OF BUILDING PERMITS IS THE ONE THAT HAS THE AUTHORITY TO COLLECT DEFEAT THE COUNTY. CAN YOU KNOW WITHIN THEIR PURVIEW IF THEY CAN JUSTIFY IT? AND THEY CAN LEGALLY COME UP WITH A DEFENSIBLE FEE.
YOU KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN ATTEMPT TO ASSESS. BUT IT'S OUR POSITION THAT ONCE INDIAN TOWN DOES THIS FLORIDA STATUTE INDICATES. THIS MUNICIPALITY LIKE ANY MUNICIPALITY CAN ADOPT A PLAN. CAN ADOPT THE FEE AND CAN ASSESS THAT FEE TO PAY FOR THE PLANT.
IF THE COUNTY TRIES TO DO IT. ONE NIGHT THEY CAN ASSESS FOR THE SAME IMPACT THAT THE VILLAGES ALREADY ASSESSING FOR TWO, THEY'D HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE. WARREN. IT'S ASSOCIATED TO THE IMPACT OF DEVELOPMENT. TO THE DEVELOPMENTS ACTUALLY RECEIVING SOME BENEFIT FROM THAT I DEVELOPERS GOING TO RECEIVE SOME TYPE OF IMPROVEMENT BUILT BY IT. SO UM, IT IS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE GOING ON. THE QUESTION WAS ASKED EARLIER. IS THERE A CON? YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE CONS IS THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT GOES ON, POTENTIALLY FOR A LITTLE WHILE BETWEEN THE VILLAGE AND MARTIN COUNTY, BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. JONATHAN IT COULD YOU NOTE THAT I BELIEVE STAFF IS PROPOSING, YOU KNOW, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 10 AND 20. OF WHAT WE COLLECT TO GO TO THE COUNTY, SO WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY PROPOSING THAT WE KEEP 100% OF WHAT'S COLLECTED. CORRECT UM, THIS IS ACTUALLY AND I HAD MENTIONED THAT BRIEFLY EARLIER. UM THERE ARE A COUPLE OF INTERSECTIONS ARE ON THE PERIPHERY. UM AL PATH
[01:15:03]
AND MARTIN HIGHWAY BRIDGE AND CANNER TRESSES. AND I BELIEVE, UM 96. YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE ALL THE FIRST MAJOR INTERSECTIONS. OUTSIDE OF THE VILLAGE THAT WOULD BE IMPACTED BY THIS. SO WE ARE PROPOSING THIS SET ASIDE ANYWHERE FROM 10% TO 20% OF THE MONEY COLLECTED. TO HELP PAY FOR THESE TYPE OF INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS IF AND WHEN THEY'RE REQUIRED. SO IT ISN'T THAT THE VILLAGE ISN'T GESANG. WE HAVE NO IMPACT ON A COUNTY ROAD OR NO IMPACT ON THE STATE ROAD. WE DO , AND WE ARE PROPOSING THAT ACTUALLY SET ASIDE MONEY TO HELP PAY FOR THOSE IMPROVEMENTS. IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW. WE LEGALLY HAVE TO DO. BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW IS RECOGNIZING THAT ALL TRAFFIC DOESN'T JUST STAY WITHIN THE VILLAGE. SOME OF IT DOES GO OUTSIDE. SOME OF IT'S GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT OUTSIDE OF THE COMMUNITY KNOWLEDGE SHOULD HAVE A SHARE OF THAT OVERALL COST. FELLAS WATER'S BROWN AGAIN IS 10 TO 20% THE NORMAL RATE IF YOU WANT TO PLAY NICE. AND WELL, I MEAN, IF YOU WANT TO PLAY NICE AND BE ACCEPTED, AS AT LEAST THEY'RE TRYING TO BARGAIN WITH US, NOT TAKE EVERYTHING IS THAT THE NORMAL OR THE GOING RATE? REALLY IT'S BASED ON WHAT THE DATA AND THE MOBILITY PLAN SHOWS SO 20% OF THE TRAFFIC. UPWARDS OF 20% OF THE TRAFFIC IS ON COUNTY ROADS. 10% OF 15% OF THE COST OF ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS IS ON COUNTY ROADS. THAT'S SORT OF WHERE WE CAME UP WITH THESE NUMBERS. WE DIDN'T JUST OUT OF THE AIR THEY'RE ACTUALLY BASED ON DATA THAT'S ACTUALLY IN THE MOBILITY PLAN, AND THEN THE TECHNICAL REPORT. IT ACTUALLY GIVES A LOT OF DETAIL WHAT THE IMPACT OF COUNTY ROADS ARE THE STATE ROADS. WHAT THE SHARE OF THAT IS I'M SOME COMMUNITIES. UM I WORK IN SEMINOLE COUNTY, WHICH IS A CHARTER COUNTY IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. UM MY CLIENTS ARE CITY OF ALTAMONTE SPRINGS AND CITY OF OVIEDO. CITY OF ALTAMONTE SPRINGS SET ASIDE BETWEEN 10 AND 15% BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE DATA SHOWED. UM OH, VIDEO. WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW. IT'S POTENTIALLY GOING UP TO 25. PERCENT JUST TO THE NORTH. THE DATA RANGE ANYWHERE FROM 15% TO 25% IN PORT ST LUCIE ST LUCIE COUNTY. ULTIMATELY SETTLED ON 25% SO THEY'RE SETTING ASIDE 25% SO WE'RE JUST GOING BY WHAT THEIR INITIAL DATA SHOWS, SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE SOME BASIS FOR IT. ULTIMATELY WHATEVER THAT PERCENTAGE ENDS UP BEING WILL BE SOMETHING THAT'S NEGOTIATED BACK AND FORTH. SO THAT'S JUST FOR THE COUNTY ROAD OUTSIDE OF THE VILLAGE THAT WE FIGURE WE HAVE ABOUT 20% WELL, IT'S BOTH. THE ROADWAYS WITHIN THE VILLAGE AND THE COUNTY, SO THAT'S. LIKENING THE WHOLE IDEA . THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THIS WHOLE STUDY NETWORK IS SHOWING. SO WE HAVE EVALUATED THE VILLAGES IMPACT TO THIS WHOLE AREA. BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY THIS AREA. THAT'S WHAT THE COUNTY'S CURRENT BENEFIT DISTRICT IS SO THE COUNTY ANY IMPACT FEE PAID WITHIN THE VILLAGE CAN BE SPENT ANYWHERE IN THAT RED AREA. TODAY THE GREEN TODAY OR THE OR THE GREEN, BUT ALTEA HAS ANY. DO YOU KNOW OF ANY IMPACT FOR YOU MONEY THAT'S ACTUALLY BEEN SPENT. WITHIN THE VILLAGE RECENTLY. NOT THAT I CAN RECALL, BUT I THINK IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE COUNTY COLLECTS OTHER IMPACT FEES. PARKS AND. OTHER FEES THAT STILL WILL GET COLLECTED FROM OUR NEW DEVELOPMENT AND GO TO THE COUNTY UNTIL SUCH TIME AS WE HAVE OUR OWN. FEES BUT THIS IS THE FIRST ONE AND THE MAJOR ONE BECAUSE WE NEED THINGS TO FLOW. AS WE GROW. AND SO WE DID. LOOK AT THE IMPACT. UM IN THIS OVERALL AREA. AND. SO ULTIMATELY , WHATEVER THE PERCENTAGE ENDS UP BEING, UM, IT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WILL BE AS PART OF THE NEGOTIATION BETWEEN THE VILLAGE AND THAT THE COUNTY AND YOU KNOW WE RECOGNIZED IN THE REPORT, YOU KNOW? WE'RE NOT SAYING THAT THERE IS NO IMPACT TO COUNTY ROADS. WE ARE FULLY ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THERE IS AN IMPACT TO COUNTY ROADS. WE'RE FULLY ACKNOWLEDGING THAT WE'VE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS. TO THOSE COUNTY ROADS. WE'VE LOOKED AT THE TRAFFIC OUT TO 2045. ON THOSE COUNTY ROADS TO SEE IF ANY OF THEM NEEDED TO BE WIDENED.[01:20:06]
AND NONE OF THEM OUT TO 2045. HAD ENOUGH TRAFFIC TO ACTUALLY WIDEN THOSE ROADWAYS. UM BUT WHAT WE DID RECOGNIZES THE VOLUME THRESHOLD FOR NEEDING A TURN LANE OR AROUND ABOUT IS MUCH DIFFERENT FROM SAYING AL PATH, OR MARTIN HAS TO BE TWO LANES TO FOUR LANES. UM YOU KNOW? THERE'S GOING TO BE A NEED FOR, UH, IF YOU GO TO THAT INTERSECTION TODAY TOWARDS THE NETHERLANDS AND ALWAYS STOP, SO YOU KNOW THERE ARE NO TURN LANES ON ANY PART OF ALLAH PATH OR MARTIN HIGHWAY. IT'S NOT TOO FORESEEABLE IN THE FUTURE TO SAY YOU WOULD NEED MAYBE A RIGHT TURN LANE. GOING FROM NORTH TO THE EAST TO THE INTERSTATE OR COMING FROM MARTIN HIGHWAY.GOING SOUTH ON AL PATH OF THOSE ARE VERY LEGITIMATE AND VERY LIKELY NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS IN THE FUTURE. UM, YOU KNOW, EVEN AT, UM SCANNER AND BRIDGE. YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOTHING THERE TODAY. IN THE FUTURE. IT'S VERY LIKELY THAT THERE ARE SOME IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE NEEDED. SO THAT'S WHY WE ARE RECOMMENDING SETTING ASIDE A SHARE OF THE FUNDS FOR COUNTY ROADS. TREES.
WELL, I MEAN FROM. ALLAH PATH TO OVER TO FOX BROWN. IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO WIDEN OUT BECAUSE YOU WOULD KIND OF DESTROY THAT TREE CANOPY. FROM OUR PATH TO OVER TO THE INTERSTATE. YOU DON'T HAVE YOU HAVE BASICALLY DITCHES ON BOTH SIDES. IT WOULD BE AN EXPENSIVE WROTE, YOU KNOW, THERE'D BE A COST AND AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE. WHO KNOWS? MAYBE THAT RAILWAY WILL NEED TO BE WIDENED IT JUST AS OF TODAY DOESN'T NEED TO BE YES, SIR. YOU SAID THAT DOUG CALDWELL. YOU SAID YOU'RE GOING TO QUIT AT 5 30. WELL YEAH , MY QUESTION IS I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS HERE, AND I JUST GOT TO WAIT UNTIL THE END. IF YOU'RE DONE WITH YOUR PRESENTATION, AND I'LL ASK MY QUESTIONS, I MEAN, WE'VE KIND OF JUST BEEN ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS. I MEAN, WE'VE SORT OF DELVED INTO IT, BUT I'D FEEL FREE TO GO AHEAD AND ASK HIM NOW. UH, TALKING ABOUT STOP SIGNS. WHEN YOU PUT A STOP SIGN UP DID THAT HAVE TO BE ORDINANCE TIN. ORDINANCE AND I DON'T BELIEVE SO. GENERALLY THERE ARE SOME TRAFFIC SAFETY PROTOCOLS OF THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT WOULD LOOK AT IN TERMS OF IS IT WARRANTED? UM BUT I MEAN, GENERALLY AS AN ORDINANCE, NO, THERE WOULD NEED TO BE A SPECIFIC ORDINANCE TO ADD A STOP SIGN OR REMOVE A STOP SIGN. GENERALLY IT'S DOESN'T MEET WARRANTS TO HAVE A STOP SIGN. OR ARE THE POLICIES IN PLACE? TOO SLOW VEHICLES DOWN, WHICH THEN GIVES THEM GREATER LATITUDE TO INSTITUTE A STOP SIGN. OKAY. HOW WOULD YOU ENFORCE OF STOP SIGN VIOLATION IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE AN ORDINANCE. WELL, I MEAN IN GENERAL. IF YOU'RE ASKING TO PLACE A STOP SIGN, YOU DON'T NEED AN ORDINANCE IN ORDER TO ENFORCE IT. YES SIR. THERE IS ACTUALLY THERE IS TRAFFIC CIRCULATION ORDINANCE AND YOU DO ACTUALLY HAVE TO FOLLOW THE RULES OF THE ROAD. SO BY THE STATE OF FLORIDA , YOU ACTUALLY HAD TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN. IF YOU DON'T YOU CAN GET A CIVIL INFRACTION FOR IT. NOW COULD YOU FIGHT AN UNWARRANTED STOP SIGN? YOU CERTAINLY COULD. UM, BUT THE WAY NOW THE WHOLE IDEA OF AN UNWARRANTED STOP SIGN CAME ABOUT BECAUSE OF WARNED TO MOVE CARS. FROM QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE POINT A TO POINT B. UNDER THESE POLICIES , IT CHANGES THAT DESIGN PARAMETER. WHERE CAR SPEEDS NOT THE TOP PRIORITY. IT'S ACTUALLY MOVING ALL PEOPLE BY A SLOWER SPEED, WHICH IS A TOP PRIORITY. OKAY, BUT I'LL TAKE IT UP WITH THE SHERIFF. AH! ANOTHER QUESTION. I HAD THIS ABOUT GOLF CARTS THAT WAS ALREADY MENTIONED . THERE'S ABOUT 500 SOME GOLF CARTS IN ANY WOOD. SO THAT'S WHAT SHOULD BE A FOCUS FOR THE FOR THE VILLAGE AND OTHER THIS PLAN WOULD GO TOWARD THE PC, A BOARD. IN THE ALLEY. YES THERE'S A CHAPTER RESERVED IN THE L. D. R S FOR THIS ORDINANCE. WOULD ARTISTS. IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS WHEN IT WAS ADOPTED . WE HAVE A BELIEVE IT'S CHAPTER 12 OR. 11 THAT WE HAD RESERVED FOR. UM MOBILITY FEE OR IMPACT FEES. I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT SAID. BUT IT'S IN THE L. D R S, WHICH MEANS IT GOES TO THE P C. A. B SO FOR RECOMMENDATION DETAILS ARE THE DETAILS THAT
[01:25:01]
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, OR THAT BROUGHT UP REGARDING INCIDENTAL THINGS IN WITHIN THE PLAN THEY WOULD ALL BE COULD BE, SIR. CORRECTED AT THE PC, A BOARD BEFORE IT GOES TO COUNSEL. YES YEAH, THERE'S A RECOMMENDATION AND THERE'S SOME CORRECTIONS THAT ARE NEEDED AT IT.ABSOLUTELY WOULD THAT BE THE PLACE TO BRING UP THAT THE DETAILS ARE THE MISTAKES THAT YOU ALL PUT TOGETHER. WELL I MEAN THERE. I'M NOT GONNA SAY IT AND I'M NOT BEING CRITICAL. THE CHANGES YEAH. NO I MEAN, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. IF YOU HAVE SOME FEEDBACK TODAY, WE'D LOVE TO HEAR BECAUSE WE CAN MAKE IT IN ADVANCE. OKAY THIS IS HONESTLY THIS IS THE FIRST PUBLIC WORKSHOP. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS BEEN RELEASED. SO THIS IS LIKE THE DRAFT. PLAN AND ONE OF THE REASONS TO HAVE THAT IS IF THERE'S SOMETHING MISSING ON IT IF THERE'S SOMETHING INCORRECT IF THERE'S SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT YOUR NOW IS REALLY AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC. TO GIVE US THAT FEEDBACK FOR US TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES. THEN WE CAN GO TO THE P C B A AND SAY, YOU KNOW, WE'VE MADE THESE CHANGES BASED UPON FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY, OR YOU CAN BRING THEM UP THERE AND WE COULD MAKE THEM THEY'RE HAVING DISCUSSED THERE. I DON'T HAVE ANY ANY CONCERNS BECAUSE I LIVE IN A PRIVATE COMMUNITY OVER THERE. SO THAT BEING SAID, UH, TALKING ABOUT TAR LAGO IF THIS PLAN GOES INTO EFFECT AFTER TAR LARGO STARTS THEIR CONSTRUCTION AND THEY PAY THE IMPACT. LET ME ASK YOU ANOTHER WAY TO THE IMPACT FEES PAID. FIRST OFF BEFORE THE CONSTRUCTION OR AS NEEDED AS FLORIDA STATUTE REQUIRES THAN WE PAID NO SOONER. THEN AT BUILDING PERMIT, SO MARTIN COUNTY AND INDIAN TOWN CANNOT REQUIRE THOSE FEES TO BE PAID BEFORE BUILDING PERMIT. ONCE THEY ACTUALLY APPLY FOR A BUILDING PERMIT. THERE ARE ASSESSED SOPHY, AND THEN ONCE THEY ACTUALLY GET ISSUED THE BUILDING PERMIT. THEY PAY THE FEE SO THEY'RE DOING SITE CONSTRUCTION. ON DEVELOPMENT, THE HORIZONTAL INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WOULDN'T BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE TRIGGERING IMPACT THESE ONCE THEY ACTUALLY COME IN FOR A BUILDING PERMIT. THAT WOULD BE WHAT WOULD TRIGGER AN IMPACT FOR YOUR MOBILITY FEET, BUT THEY HAVE A THEY HAVE A LIKE A 10 OR 20 YEAR PLAN THERE. SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO PERIODICALLY COME IN AND GET A BUILDING. PERMIT OR OKAY, FINE. AH! LET ME ASK YOU WHO HOW COME THIS PLAN WASN'T PUT INTO EFFECT A LONG TIME AGO? UM WELL, IT TOOK A YEAR TO DO WHERE FOUR YEARS OLD AND ACTUALLY THAT WERE RIPE WERE RIGHT. WE'RE RIGHT AT THE PLACE WHERE WE NEED TO BE BECAUSE WE'VE ONLY HAD THREE DEVELOPMENTS ACTUALLY BEGIN TO BUILD HERE. A AND I DROPPED MANUFACTURING FACILITY GREEN CARBON ON FOX BROWN AND THE TRACTOR SUPPLY. OKAY? I DON'T KNOW THAT WAS COMING. THIS IS WHEN WE DOVE INTO THIS AND I THINK THE TIME I THINK THE TIMING IS JUST RIGHT IF WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD BEFORE OTHER BUILDING PERMITS ARE PULLED. AND RIGHT NOW, TERRA LAGO IS NOT COMING IN FOR A BUILDING PERMIT. WITHIN THE NEXT, UM THREE MONTHS. WELL I HAPPEN TO KNOW THE SPEED OF GOVERNMENT, SO I JUST DISCONCERTING THAT TAR LAGO WOULD WOULD COME IN PRIOR TO THIS GETTING IN PLACE AND WE'D LOSE THAT MONEY. THEY STILL NEED TO DO A PLAN FOR PHASE ONE. A BEFORE THEY CAN PULL A PERMIT.
AND IT'S 5 30, SIR. WE GOT ONE MORE QUESTION BACK HERE. AND I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU. I'M I'M PERSONALLY HERE LATE O'CLOCK AT NIGHT. SO YOU KNOW I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE. SO YOU GOT QUESTIONS.
I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. YOU KNOW, OTHER MEMBERS OF STAFF MAY TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK, BUT I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I'M HERE. SO YOU KNOW, I WOULD DEFINITELY, UM YEAH. BUILDING ABOVE. AH I DON'T. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ACTUAL TIMEFRAME OF IT IS. UM YEAH. YEAH TERRA LAGO IS THAT AREA? RIGHT THERE. 2488. UNITS AND THAT'S BETWEEN SINGLE FAMILY APARTMENTS AND TOWN HOMES . THEY'RE ALSO PLANNING 100 BED LF FACILITY AND THEY HAVE 100,000 SQUARE FEET OF NON RESIDENTIAL WOW. SO THAT'S RETAIL COMMERCIAL. YOU KNOW, IT'S A BIG PROJECT. BILLION RESPECT THEIR BILLION NOT FOR SOMEBODY. THEY'RE BUILDING IT TO BUILD IT. WHO HIMSELF. I'M UH
[01:30:03]
OH, WE DON'T KNOW THEIR TOTAL PLAN. MY NAME IS RENADA PRESSLER . AND I WOULD LIKE TO ASK A QUESTION ABOUT LANDSCAPING. AND DOES THAT PLAY A ROLE BECAUSE YOU MENTIONED TRAFFIC, CALMING TECHNIQUES AND PAVEMENT COOLING TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE. YOU KNOW YOU CAN HAVE A VERY NICE SIDEWALK. BUT IF IT'S A LONG WAY DOWN, AND IT'S ALL BURNING HOT SUN, UH, PEOPLE ARE LESS LIKELY TO USE IT. THEN IF IT'S A SHADED UH, WAY ALSO, UM, EVEN YOU MENTIONED ON STREET PARKING AH ANYWAY DOES LANDSCAPING AND SHADING PLAY A ROLE THEY ABSOLUTELY DO. AND, UM. AGAIN THAT'S SORT OF WHAT THESE STANDARDS GET INTO PLACE. SO I JUST SAID RIGHT NOW, IN SOMEWHAT IN IN TOWN IS A LITTLE BIT TRIAGE. I MEAN, THERE ARE CERTAIN ROADWAYS. YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ON YOU NEED TO GET SOMETHING ON IT BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE JUST NO OTHER MEANS TO GET AROUND. ONCE YOU'VE SORT OF GOT YOUR NETWORK SAFETY IN TERMS OF SIDEWALKS. THEN IT'S REALLY THE OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU STARTED LOOKING AT THIS TABLE HERE TO SAY THE NEXT LEVEL IS ADDING STREET TREES, ADDING LANDSCAPE, ADDING, YOU KNOW ON STREET PARKING THE SLOW IT DOWN, SO IT'S REALLY YOU ALMOST SEEM TO GET YOUR BASE DONE FIRST. THEN FROM THERE, THEN YOU ACTUALLY START TO IMPLEMENT THE OTHER PROVISIONS I LOVE TO SAY, YOU KNOW. IF YOU GOT A MILLION DOLLARS, YOU KNOW, IT'D BE GREAT TO MAKE A LOT OF SIDEWALKS BEAUTIFUL. BUT THEN WHEN YOU HAVE CERTAIN PARTS OF THE COMMUNITY THAT DON'T HAVE A SIDEWALK AT ALL, UM, YOU KNOW, REALLY YOUR BASIS TO EVERYBODY HAS A SIDEWALK FROM THAT. THEN YOU START ADDING THE LANDSCAPING. YES, MA'AM. I MEAN , YOU MENTIONED THAT THIS PLAN KIND OF COVERS THE NEXT 22 YEARS, SO I THOUGHT I JUST DIDN'T KNOW. I THOUGHT I'D BETTER ASK NOW, IF THAT COVERS THAT. THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION, AND THAT'S ACTUALLY EXACTLY WHAT THIS TABLE DOES RIGHT HERE IS IT SAYS ONCE YOU'VE GONE BEYOND FEEDING THEM. YOU KNOW, ALMOST MAAZEL'S HIERARCHY NEEDS, YOU KNOW, SHELTER AND FOOD. ONCE YOU KIND OF SET YOUR BASE MINIMUM, THEN YOU CAN ACTUALLY START TO ADD THE AMENITIES TO IT, AND THAT REALLY PROVIDES A GUIDANCE FOR THE COMMUNITY TO ADD THE LANDSCAPING, ADD THE STREET TREES. OUT ADDITIONAL FEATURES, UM, AFTER THE FACT. AND JONATHAN , YOU DID SAY THAT PART OF THIS IS TO REVISIT EVERY FIVE YEARS AND MAYBE CROSS OFF THE PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AT NEW PROJECTS. YES AND YOU HAD AND WE'RE GOING TO CALL IT ENCLOSES IN A MINUTES AND THEN WE CAN ANSWER THEM. BUT YOU HAD A SECOND PART OF YOUR QUESTION, MA'AM. I'M JUST I'M SORRY. I FORGOT. WE I GUESS MENTIONED THE ON STREET PARKING. OH, YOU KNOW , AND DOES IT? I DON'T KNOW HOW DETAILED IT IS, BUT I MEAN, YOU DON'T WANT PALM TREES. YOU WANT TREES THAT ARE GOING TO SEQUESTER CO. TWO AND TREES THAT ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO PROVIDE SHADE. AND PALM TREES DO NOT DO THAT. PALM TREES ARE CHEAP AND PALM TREES HAVE NO ROOT BASE AND THEY DON'T SEQUESTER CO TWO AND THEY DON'T PROVIDE SHADE. SO HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN? OH PART OF THAT WILL BE THE COMPLETE STREET DESIGNED SOME OF THE POLICIES WE PUT IN THE COM PLAN. OBVIOUSLY THE SHADE TREES WOULD BE THE PREFERENCE. UM I WILL SAY THAT YOU KNOW, IT'S TWO FACTORS. GENERALLY IT'S THE PRESENCE OF UTILITIES. AND THAT'S HOW HIGH YOUR EXISTING WATER TABLE IS. BECAUSE ONE THING ABOUT LIVE OAKS IS THAT THEIR ROOTS DON'T LIKE TO BE WET ALL THE TIME AND SO LITTLE ONLY GROW AS LARGE. AS THEIR ROOTS CAN GO DOWN IF THEY HIT WATER TOO SOON. YOU KNOW THEY'RE ONLY GOING TO GROW SOMETIMES. IF YOU SEE SOME COMMUNITIES THAT LOOK STUNTED, OR THEY LOOK SICK. BECAUSE IT HAS A REALLY HIGH WATER TABLE, AND THOSE ROOTS CAN ONLY GO TO THREE FT. UNDERGROUND BUT BUT IN GENERAL, THERE ARE OTHER TYPES OF SHADE TREES. UM, MAHOGANY, CEDAR MAHOGANY. EVEN IF YOU WANTED TO GET INTO AN INVASIVE, ABANDONED TREE OR THE FIG TREE, THE WALKING ONE. UM THOSE PROVIDE AMAZING SHADE, BUT THEY ALSO DO A LOT OF DAMAGE OTHERWISE, BUT, UM, BUT BUT NOW IT WOULD BE A RECOMMENDATION FIRST TO SHADE AND CANOPY TREES. AND THEN SOMETIMES YOU JUST CAN'T NOTICED. LAST OCTOBER, I CAME ACROSS SOME INFORMATION BROWARD COUNTY AND MIAMI DADE WERE NO LONGER PLANTING PALM TREES. THEY WERE GOING. THEY WERE JUST ELIMINATING THOSE BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEQUESTER.UH, ANY C 02 CORRECT. THANK YOU, MOM. PRAWNS DON'T DO ANY. THEY LOOK NICE, BUT THEY DON'T DO REALLY ANYTHING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT OR FOR SHADE FOR THAT MATTER. I'M SWIFT THAT I BELIEVE FOR LEAST PURPOSES OF, YOU KNOW THE PUBLIC AND FOR ANYBODY RECORDING. WE'RE GONNA CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING. I'M HERE. THIS WHOLE TIME WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU

HAVE. AND THEN WE'LL ALSO BE PICKING UP AGAIN AT 6 30 TO 8 O'CLOCK AND THEN UM, ALFIE, IS THERE ANY WAY ON ON THE WEBSITE? OR AN EMAIL ADDRESS THAT THEY CAN SUBMIT. ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR RESPONSES TO, UM OKAY? ALL RIGHT. SO THERE IS SOME INFORMATION ON THE WEBSITE THAT THERE CAN BE ACCESSED SO YOU CAN ALSO EMAIL US TO CONTACT US TO PROVIDE US ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK THAT YOU MAY HAVE. UM, BUT YOU KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE MISSED HERE. WE'D LOVE TO HEAR IT. UM, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ADDRESSING IT. SO WITH THAT I THANK YOU VERY MUCH* This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
