NEXT SLIDE. SO I'LL GO OVER THAT AGAIN. THE YELLOW OUTLINE THAT YOU SEE THERE IS THE ACTUAL SITE. AND AS WAS MENTIONED BEFORE IT'S A 55 ACRE SITE. NEXT SLIDE. I HATE TO GO OVER ALL THESE DETAILS AGAIN, BUT IT'S CONSISTS OF SEVERAL ZONING DISTRICTS. THE VILLAGE MIXED USE NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE. AND LIMITED RESIDENTIAL.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE RIGHT ITEM. I THINK I THINK YOU MAY HAVE SKIPPED AHEAD. APOLOGIES.

ASTHMA AND EVERYTHING ELSE. OKAY, LET'S START OVER. IS IT THE RIGHT APPLICATION? OKAY SO THIS IS A POWER POINT OUT 22-36 . NOW I'M IN THE RIGHT PLACE. SO SORRY ABOUT THAT GRIND HARD AMMUNITION, 26,000, PLUS SQUARE FEET AND A STORAGE UNIT CONSISTING OF 800 SQUARE FEET.

IT'S BOUNDED BY. I'M SORRY. IT'S BOUNDED BY FARM ROAD. I'M SORRY. WAIT A MINUTE. I DIDN'T PUT MY PACKET TOGETHER. I'M NOT SURE IT'S IN THE RIGHT ORDER.

SO THIS IS FOR MAJOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL NEXT SIDE. BUT IT HAS THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL LAND USE AS WELL AS OWNING NEXT SLIDE. AGAIN. YOU SEE SOME OF THE DETAILS ABOUT THE SITE PLAN NEXT SLIDE. THESE ARE RENDERINGS OF THE PROPOSED LOCATION. YOU CAN JUST KIND OF GO THROUGH THESE VERY QUICKLY. THE APPLICANT I BELIEVE, ALSO HAS A PRESENTATION. THESE ARE THE FLOOR PLANS. THIS IS WHAT THE STORAGE MAGAZINE 100 SQUARE FOOT STORAGE FACILITY LOOKS LIKE. AND A LARGE CIRCLE YOU SEE IS WHAT THEY CALL THE BLAST AREA, AND THEY CAN EXPLAIN THAT IN MORE DETAIL AS IT'S THERE. ALRIGHT EXPERTISE. THEY ARE, OF COURSE, PROVIDING LANDSCAPING. I WILL SAY I ALSO VISITED THE STUART LOCATION. LANDSCAPING WAS BEAUTIFUL. I WAS IN AWE. UM.

THEY HAVE, IN FACT MET OUR LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS AS WELL AS THE OTHER REVIEW REQUIREMENTS . UH STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS PARTICULAR APPLICATION, THE PLANNING, ZONING AND APPEALS BOARD ALSO RECOMMENDED APPROVAL BY A 43 VOTE. ON FEBRUARY 2ND.

THE EXPERTISE AND MY NAME'S AUSTIN WEISS AND ONE OF THE PARTNERS AND GRIND HARD M O. WHAT YOU'RE WATCHING. HERE IS THE MAGAZINE UNDER A FULL LOAD TEST. SORRY. WHAT? YOU'RE WHAT YOU'RE WATCHING HERE IS, UH, THE

[00:40:03]

MAGAZINE. UNDER A FULL LOAD TEST . AND WHAT THAT IS, IS BASICALLY , UH, FULLY MAXED OUT WITH WEIGHT, AND THAT WOULD BE OF THE MATERIAL THAT WOULD GO INSIDE OF THIS MAGAZINE AND ONE OF THE FEARS IN THE I THINK IT WAS THE P C. A B MEETING WAS HOW BIG THE BLAST DARK LOOKS. A LOT OF, UH, A LOT OF LOCALS WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE BLAST ITSELF. SO I WANTED TO SHOW YOU WHAT A FULL FULL TEST WOULD LOOK LIKE. THIS IS UNDER WORST CASE SCENARIO, IF IT WAS TO EVER AND IT HASN'T.

THESE TESTS HAVE TO BE DONE FOR THE MILITARY USE OF WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE, AND THAT IS WHAT YOU'RE WITNESSING HERE. IT COMPLETELY MITIGATES ALL THE BLAST. SO THE ARK IS ACTUALLY MUCH LARGER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS EXPLOSION HERE IS IN A VERY SMALL CONTAINED ENVIRONMENT. AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE REQUIRED BY THE 80 F TO HAVE THESE MAGAZINES. YOU SAID I'M SORRY. YOU SAID FULL LOAD FULL LOAD. SO BASICALLY THE AMOUNT OF THE WEIGHT OF THE MATERIAL THAT WE USE TO MAKE THE PRIMER UM SO INSIDE OF THAT THERE WILL BE £800 OF THIS EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL. IT'S NOT IT'S NOT A MIXED MATERIAL AND TOURED INTO THE PRIMARY ITSELF, BUT REQUIRED BY THE A. T F. THEY SHOW THAT THEY HAVE TO HAVE IT STORED INTO A MAGAZINE, AND THAT'S THE FULL LOAD FOR THAT IS £800 ACTUALLY ALMOST £6000. YOU JUST WATCHED.

OKAY SO FULL LOAD OF 6000 CORRECT? YES, MA'AM, AND WE'RE ONLY GONNA HAVE £800 IN THERE.

OKAY? THANK YOU FOR MAKING ABSOLUTELY YES, MA'AM. AND MAYOR . YES SIR. YOU WOULDN'T MIND IF I MAKE A SUGGESTION. SURE IT MAY BE HELPFUL TO THE PUBLIC ABSOLUTELY. JUST START BACK AT THE BEGINNING AND TELL EVERYBODY WHAT YOU'RE PUTTING IN THERE. WHAT YOU DOING THERE AND ALL THAT, SO, YEAH, I WAS JUST WALKING THROUGH THE VIDEO, BUT, UM, SO I BROUGHT SAMPLES OF WHAT WE DO WHAT WE WILL BE DOING IN THERE. UM THAT'S MANUFACTURING OF THESE SMALL LITTLE PRIMERS RIGHT HERE. THEY'RE VERY HARD TO SEE THEY BARELY FIT IN YOUR FINGERS. UM WE'RE MAKING THESE SMALL ITEMS IN THIS FACTORY. UM BASICALLY, WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE STAMPING COPPER OUT AND A SMALL ANVIL AND WE'RE MANUFACTURING AND FILLING THE SMALL LITTLE PRIMERS WITH THIS PASTE. UM IN A DAY, YOU KNOW, FULL RUN 24 HOURS. WE'RE ONLY MAKING £33. THAT'S IT BECAUSE THEY'RE SO SMALL AND SO MINUTE YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE EXTREMELY TINY. UM SO THERE'S I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A VERY LARGE MISCONCEPTION IN THE LAST MEETING, AND I REALLY WANTED TO CLEAR THAT UP. UM SO AS YOU GUYS WANT WHEN YOU GUYS CAME AND VISITED THE SITE YOU GOT WAS ABLE TO SHOW A LOT OF YOU WHAT THE PRIMER LOOKS LIKE, AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS I KEPT GETTING IS THAT'S IT AND THAT THAT'S REALLY IT. THIS IS WHAT WE'RE MANUFACTURING OUT HERE.

SURE YEAH, THERE'S A SIDE PROFILE OF A MUCH LARGER, UH, PRIMER AND BASICALLY WHAT? WE'RE MANUFACTURING. IS THIS ONE COP HERE IN THIS ANVIL AND THEN A PIECE OF ALUMINUM FOIL THAT GETS PRESSED IN AND THEN THERE'S A LITTLE DAB OF PASTE THAT GOES IN THERE AND THAT THIS IS THE ACTUAL SIZE OF THE ITEM RIGHT HERE. THERE. THEY BARELY FIT MY FINGER. THAT'S IT. COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ. THANK YOU. BUT I ALSO THINK THAT YOU FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THIS LOCATION WILL BE LIKE CLOSED OFF TO THE PUBLIC , WHICH ACTUALLY MAKES IT MORE. YOU KNOW, ONCE I WENT TO VISIT I THANK YOU FOR THE VISIT.

YOUR YOU'RE GOING MORE DOING MORE SECURITY THAN THAN WHATSOEVER. NO NO ONE CAN EVEN ACCESS THE BUILDING UNLESS THEY'RE AUTHORIZED. UM SO I THANK YOU FOR THE TOUR BECAUSE IT WAS EYE OPENING. UM I ALSO THANK YOU FOR WHAT? THE JOBS YOU'RE GOING TO BRING INTO INDIAN TOWN BECAUSE THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT FROM THE BEGINNING. WE WANTED WELL PAYING JOBS INTO INDIAN TOWN. UM AND THIS IS THIS IS UP. PLUS THIS IS AWESOME FOR A COMMUNITY. UM I THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO ACTUALLY EXPLAIN EVERYTHING BECAUSE I HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS . UM SO I THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING, AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A POINT OUT THAT YOU KNOW,

[00:45:01]

THIS IS A HIGH SECURE PLACE THAT NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO GO UNTIL UNLESS YOU'RE AN EMPLOYEE, YOUR VENDOR OR YOUR INSPECTOR? THANK YOU THAT'S REQUIRED BY A FEW DIFFERENT AGENCIES THAT REQUIRE THAT BIAS. THE MAIN ONES, THE A T. F. THEY REQUIRE US TO BE LOCKED DOWN AND THE OTHER ONE'S DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE SUNSET INTO A DIODE SECURED SITE. IT HAS TO BE LOCKED OUT. SO NOT JUST HIGH SECURITY, FENCING, HIGH SECURITY CAMERA SYSTEMS, ALL 24 HOUR MONITORED. IT'S A VERY SECURE IT HAS TO BE. SO TO CLARIFY TO BUILD ON THAT AND CLARIFY, UM TALKING ABOUT JOBS.

YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT THREE SHIFTS SHIFTS, SO WE'RE GOING TO BE 9500 JOBS THAT FULL LOAD FORMER MAXED OUT OF CAPACITY. SO ABOUT 33 TO 32 A SHIFT 35 ON SOME SHIFTS, DEPENDING, BUT YES, AND THE GOOD THING IS, WE WILL BE TRAINING, SO YOU KNOW, IT'S GREAT TO BE ABLE TO PULL FROM THE LOCAL JOBS LOCAL COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE A GOOD PAYING JOB. WE WANT TO GIVE PEOPLE SOMETHING TO DO AND ALLOW THEM TO BUILD A LIFE HERE. SO WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER A GOOD PAYING JOB SO STARTING, UM I WOULD SAY ARE STARTING BASE PAY IS ABOUT 17.

AND CAN YOU SPEAK TO, UM WHAT WASTE SO ALL WASTE OUR WASTEWATER AS I SHOWED YOU GUYS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE OTHER SITE IS ALL PICKED UP BY BY A COMPANY THAT PICKS UP THE WASTE WATER. NO WATER GOES BACK INTO THE LAND. IT'S ALL USED THE NEW VAP SYSTEM. UM AND THEN IT'S PICKED UP ONCE A WEEK. THE ONLY OTHER WAYS THAT THERE WOULD BE IS ACTUALLY NOT WASTE. IT'S COPPER SCRAP, AND THAT GOES BACK AS RECYCLABLE. UM AND THAT'S IT.

THERE'S ALL OF OUR BOXING GOES OUT. SO I MEAN, MAYBE SOME. THERE MIGHT BE SOME SOME COURSE FOR PACKING TAPE, AND THERE MIGHT BE SOME, UH, SOME PACKING TAPE BOXES, BUT IT'S OTHER THAN THAT. IT'S VERY LIGHT WASTE. AND WHAT IS THE REPORTING AGENCY THAT THAT OVERSEES THAT WASTE? UM E A E P A. OKAY HANG ON. HANG ON A MINUTE. HANG ON. WE'RE GETTING THERE. WE'RE GETTING THERE.

AND HE FOUND THIS PROPERTY AND WE SHOWED IT TO THE PARTNER AND I AND BARRY AND I BOTH LOOKED AT IT AND WE FELL IN LOVE WITH IT.

AND HE SAID, YOU KNOW THIS. THIS WILL WORK. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED. WE SEND IT OFF TO THE A T F TO GET PREAPPROVAL FROM THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO GET OUR LICENSE BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE POINTLESS TO BUY THE PROPERTY WITHOUT GETTING BEING ABLE TO BE LICENSED. UM AND THEN WE DID A PRE APPROVAL WITH THE CITY OR COUNCIL, AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY AND THEN IT WOULD BECAME. IT ACTUALLY WORKED OUT REALLY WELL, BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. IT'S EASY FOR SHIPPING. THERE'S A TON OF THERE'S A TON OF PEOPLE THAT I KNOW THAT WE COULD OFFER GREAT JOBS, TOO. AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT.

QUESTIONS. OKAY THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE THAT MRS JEFFERSON. OKAY WILL THE APPLICANT PLEASE PROCEED WITH THEIR PRESENTATION ON THIS ITEM. WELCOME. INTRODUCE YOURSELF, PLEASE. THANK YOU. MAYOR THOMAS NICHOLAS KIESLER FROM BARTLETT, LOW BEHINDS AND THOMPSON PLC TOGETHER WITH MY PARTNER, ETHAN LOBE, AND WE REPRESENT THE PROPERTY OWNER, RIVER OAK FERNWOOD HOLDINGS, AND WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER HERE. ALSO, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE GEORGE LINDEMANN, JUDD LAIRD AND JAMIE RUST BRIDGE. WE THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT, AND WE THANK YOU FOR HEARING ABOUT FOR INVITING US TO HEAR ABOUT THIS APPLICATION. UM I'D LIKE TO EXPOUND BRIEFLY ON KIND OF THE PARAMETERS THAT WERE SET BY MR VOSS AND WE AND WE THANK HIM FOR GOING THROUGH ALL OF THE PROCEDURE OF A QUASI JUDICIAL PROCEEDING. AND AS HE OUTLINED. THE GOAL HERE TONIGHT IS FOR THE VILLAGE COUNCIL TO DETERMINE IF THE SITE PLAN APPLICATION MEETS ALL THE PARAMETERS OF THE TOWN'S COMPREHENSIVE, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND IT'S LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. AND THAT DECISION TONIGHT IS BASED SOLELY ON THE COMPETENCE SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT IS PRESENTED THROUGH THIS HEARING. THE QUESTION THEN OBVIOUSLY BECOMES WELL. WHAT IS CONFIDENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE? AND AS YOU CAN IMAGINE FLORIDA COURTS THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF CASE LAW AS TO WHAT IS AND IS NOT CONSIDERED CONFIDENCE, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE, AND MR VOSS RAN THROUGH SOME OF THAT, AND WE THANK HIM FOR THAT. ONE THING IN PARTICULAR IS TOWN STAFF REPORTS ARE CONSIDERED COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE , AND WE HEARD THE REPORT FROM YOUR STAFF MEMBER AND ALSO THERE WAS A REPORT GIVEN BY THE VILLAGES CAN THE VILLAGE CONSULTANT THAT SAID THAT THE APPLICATION AS PRESENTED TO THE TOWN MET EVERY SINGLE REQUIREMENT OF THE TOWN'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE TOWN'S LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. SO THAT RIGHT THERE IS CONFIDENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT CAN AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL TONIGHT. ANOTHER THING THAT IS CONSIDERED COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IS EXPERT REPORTS. AND WE HAVE HERE TONIGHT. UM SEVERAL EXPERTS THAT I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU WE HAVE IN ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT EDWARD WINE WEINBERG , A CIVIL ENGINEER, GREG BOLAND , A TRAFFIC ENGINEER. BRIAN KELLY, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, ARCHITECT CHERYL CAMP CAMPBELL AND A LAND PLANNING EXPERT TODD MAORI. NOW IN AN EFFORT TO STREAMLINE OUR PRESENTATION, AND BECAUSE EVERYBODY WHO'S WEARING A SUIT JACKET LIKE ME PROBABLY DOESN'T WANT TO BE HERE FOR FOUR HOURS TONIGHT. UM WE HAVE SUBMITTED AFFIDAVITS TO EACH OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND I BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE THOSE IN FRONT OF YOU AND, UM THEY SHOULD BECOME PART OF THE RECORD. WHAT I WILL DO IS CALL UP EACH OF THESE EXPERTS JUST TO AUTHENTICATE THESE AFFIDAVITS AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION JUST SO THEY'RE PROPERLY ENTERED INTO THE RECORD, AND THOSE EXPERTS WILL BE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SITE PLAN ITSELF. SO THAT BEING SAID WE FEEL EXTRAORDINARILY CONFIDENT, AND I HOPE THAT YOU AGREE THAT THE APPLICATION HAS MET EVERY SINGLE REQUIREMENT. UM PROVIDED BY THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE SO WE COULD STOP THERE AND SAY WE'VE MET YOUR REQUIREMENTS . WE ASK YOU TO VOTE TO APPROVE THE SITE PLAN, BUT WE ARE AWARE THAT THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS FROM WHAT WE HOPE TO BE OUR NEW NEIGHBORS IN THE COMMUNITY. SO WE DID MEET WITH IN. IN ADDITION TO MEETING WITH ALL THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, WE ALSO MET WITH SEVERAL OF THE NEIGHBORS IN PERSON AND ON THE PHONE AND I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR THEM. THEY WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO SPEAK HERE TONIGHT. BUT THE IMPRESSION THAT WE GOT FROM THESE NEIGHBORS WAS WE UNDERSTAND RIVER OAK THAT YOU HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THAT COMPLIED WITH THE CODE. WE APPRECIATE THAT YOU'RE NOT BUILDING THIS SITE OUT TO ITS MAXIMUM DENSITY. UM BUT THERE ARE STILL SOME THINGS WE WOULD ASK YOU TO DO TO HELP US FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT. SO, TO THAT END, THEY DID SOMETHING THAT WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE. THEY PUT THEIR CONCERNS IN WRITING, AND THIS IS VERY HELPFUL FOR US. SO WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE CONCERNS OF THE NEIGHBORS ARE,

[01:15:03]

AND WE THANK THEM FOR THAT. WE MET WITH THEM, AND WE TOOK THOSE REQUESTS THAT WERE MADE IN WRITING. WE LOOKED AT IT FROM A LEGAL PERSPECTIVE, AND WE ALSO MET WITH OUR TEAM. AND SAID, WHAT CAN WE DO TO IMPLEMENT THESE REQUESTS? AND SO AS WE GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION TONIGHT, I WILL ADDRESS EACH OF THESE REQUESTS ITEM BY ITEM, AND HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE SOMETHING THAT THE NEIGHBORS CAN BE HAPPY ABOUT. BECAUSE WE DID IMPLEMENT ALMOST ALL OF THEIR REQUEST.

THERE WAS ONE SPECIFICALLY THAT WE THINK WE CAN'T DO BECAUSE IT VIOLATES THE CODE. BUT EVERY OTHER REQUEST MADE IN WRITING BY THE NEIGHBORS WAS ACCOMMODATED. SO AS YOU GO ALONG, HERE'S THE PROJECT SITE. YOU CAN SEE THE STAR IS WHERE WE'RE AT. RIGHT NOW. THE PROJECT SITE IS JUST SOUTH OF THAT STAR. EVERYTHING THAT I'M SHOWING YOU IS ORIENTED NORTH IS GOING TO BE FACING TO THE TO THE RIGHT OF THE SCREEN. SO THE FIRST QUESTION WHEN YOU'RE DEVELOPING A SITE LIKE THIS AS WELL, WHAT'S THE CONCEPT OF THE SITE? WHAT ARE WE HERE TO DO? AND THE WAY UH, THE WAY YOU KIND OF DEVELOP THIS AS YOU LOOK AT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN NOW WE SUBMITTED OUR APPLICATION VERY SHORTLY AFTER THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WAS ADOPTED BY THE TOWN. AND WE SAID, WELL, IT'S OBVIOUS NOW WITH THE TOWN WANTS. THEY WANT A COMMUNITY LIKE THIS. THEY NEED A COMMUNITY WHERE THEIR WORKERS THEY'RE POLICE OFFICERS , THEIR TEACHERS, THEIR NEW GRIND HARD EMPLOYEES CAN HAVE A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN LIVE AND NOT JUST A PLACE WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO GO TO SLEEP AT THE END OF THE DAY, BUT A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN RAISE A FAMILY, A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN INVITE FRIENDS AND EXTENDED FAMILY TO COME AND VISIT. AND TO BE PROUD OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT THEY LIVE IN.

AND ALSO THIS CAN BE A MODEL FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, WHICH I THINK THAT THE VILLAGES CONTEMPLATING HAVING OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS AND DECADES TO COME SO WE LOOKED AT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. UM THIS SLIDE HERE SHOWS YOU WHAT THE FUTURE LAND USE IS UNDER THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN. THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT DISTRICTS. AND THE. THE LAND USE WITHIN OUR SITE IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE LAND USES THE RESIDENTIAL LAND USES THAT ARE SURROUNDING THE SITE.

SO THE NEXT THING YOU DO IS YOU LOOK AT THE MUNICIPAL IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. NOW THEY'RE UNDER THE CODE. THIS IS THIS IS WHAT IMPLEMENTS THE BROADER PLAN FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND IT SETS THE SPECIFIC RULES FOR WHAT IS AND IS NOT ALLOWED IN EACH OF THE ZONING DISTRICTS, SO THERE ARE JUST LIKE THERE ARE THREE FANS. FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS. THERE ARE THREE ZONING DISTRICTS WITHIN THE SITE . WOMEN IN RESIDENTIAL VILLAGE MIXED USE IN NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE THAT WAS IMPORTANT FOR THE LANDOWNER TO SAY. HEY YOU GUYS WERE FILING THIS APPLICATION RIGHT AFTER YOU GUYS DEVELOPED ALL THESE RULES. WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO IS COME IN AND SAY THANKS FOR ALL THAT, BUT WE WANT TO FIGHT. WE WANT TO REZONE THE PROPERTY OR WE WANT TO ASK FOR A VARIANCE OR COMPLEMENT AMENDMENT . ALL THOSE THINGS ARE FINE TO DO THEIR THEIR WRITTEN RIGHT IN YOUR CODE. BUT WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FAIRLY INSULTING TO HAVE THE FIRST PROJECT AND WHAT WE HOPE WILL BE A LONG LASTING RELATIONSHIP TO ASK FOR ANY RELIEF WHATSOEVER FROM THE CODE . SO WE ENSURE THAT EVERY SINGLE LETTER OF THE CODE WAS MET IN IN OUR SITE PLAN APPLICATION. ONE THING IN PARTICULAR IS DENSITY. SO TYPICALLY. WHEN I HAVE CLIENTS WHO COME TO ME TO PRESENT TWO BOARDS LIKE YOU AND TO DEVELOP A DEVELOP A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. THE FIRST QUESTION THEY ASK IS HOW MANY UNITS CAN WE PUT IN THIS PROPERTY AND ATTORNEY GEISLER FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN GET EVERY SINGLE UNIT PACKED IN THERE BECAUSE EVERY UNIT IS MORE MONEY FOR US. THANKFULLY THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS PROPERTY OWNER DID. THE FUTURE LAND USE ALLOWS FOR 640 UNITS INSIDE THIS DEVELOPMENT, WHERE ONLY ASKING FOR 176 UNITS. THE URBAN RESIDENTIAL OFFICE AND VILLAGE. CORE MIXED USE ACTUALLY HAS MINIMUM UNITS THAT IT REQUIRED THERE'S 55 REQUIRED IN URBAN RESIDENTIAL OFFICE IN 61 REQUIRED IN VILLAGE CORE MIXED USE. UM AND WE'RE ASKING FOR JUST OVER THAT AMOUNT BECAUSE THE CODE IS SILENT ON A MINIMUM FOR SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL. WE'RE ASKING FOR 176 UNITS AND OF NOTE PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UNDER THE OLD COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE MAXIMUM DENSITY WOULD HAVE BEEN FIVE UNITS AN ACRE, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN CLOSE TO 300 UNITS, WHICH WERE ALLOWED IN THIS DEVELOPMENT AND AGAIN WE'RE ONLY ASKING FOR 176. SO THE NEXT THING UM HERE'S THE HERE'S THE OVERALL SITE. IT'S 55.25 ACRES AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE CURRENT ROADS ARE IN THE SITE, AND THIS BRINGS UP WHAT WE THINK IS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST CONCERN FROM THE NEIGHBORS IS WHAT IS THIS GOING TO DO TO TRAFFIC? SO THE. VILLAGE CODE HAS TWO PROVISIONS

[01:20:03]

THAT ARE IMPORTANT HERE. AND THESE ARE FOUND IN SECTION 6-2 OF THE CODE. FIRST IT SAYS CLOSED OR GATE STREET GATED STREETS ARE DISCOURAGED. SO WHEN WE FIRST MET WITH THE TOWN STAFF THERE WERE WE, YOU KNOW, WE WORKED AT THE STAFF FOR OVER TWO YEARS AND FINALLY DEVELOPING A FINAL SITE PLAN AND EVERYBODY AGREED. WE DON'T WANT TO GET A COMMUNITY HERE. SO WE SAID FINE , SO WE DEVELOPED THIS, UM, WITH THE ROADS, UM, TO COMPLY WITH THE OTHER SECTION IN IN SECTION SIX POINT 26-2 OF THE CODE, WHICH REQUIRES CONNECTIVE ITTY BETWEEN THE NEIGHBORHOODS OF INDIAN TOWN, AND THIS ISN'T A DISCOURAGED OR THIS ISN'T WE RECOMMEND? THIS IS SHALL WE HAVE TO CONNECT? TO THE LARGER STREETS IN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN THROUGH OUR PROPERTY. SO THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED. IS WE CREATED THREE POINTS OF CONNECTIVITY. ONE IS FROM THE WESTERN PORTION ON FORMAL AVENUE . AND THEN THERE'S TWO ON THE EASTERN PORTION. SOUTHWEST OAK STREET AND SOUTH WEST PALM DRIVE. AND THERE ARE ABUNDANCE OF REASONS, PRESUMABLY AS TO WHY THE VILLAGE ONCE THIS CONNECTIVITY, BUT I WANT TO GIVE YOU ONE EXAMPLE OF SPECIFIC TO THIS SITE OF WHY THIS CONNECTIVITY IS IMPORTANT. SO THERE'S A RAILROAD CROSS.

THERE'S A RAILROAD TRACK AND TO RAILROAD CROSSINGS, ONE ON THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY AND FIRM OF FOREST ROAD AND ONE ON THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY ON FORMAL AVENUE RIGHT NOW, IF YOU GO BACK TO WHAT THE ROADS LOOK LIKE RIGHT NOW, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT RAILROAD TRACK JUST ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF YOUR SCREEN. IF THE RAILROAD IS IF A TRAIN IS STOPPED RIGHT THERE.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY FOR RESIDENTS TO GET IN OR OUT OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THERE'S NO WAY FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES TO GET IN AND OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SAME THING ON ON FORMAL AVENUE. SO WHY CONNECTIVITY IS IMPORTANT. IS BECAUSE ONCE OUR ROADS ARE CONSTRUCTED, THERE WILL BE CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN FORMAL AND FERNWOOD FORESTS. SO IF THERE WAS A TRAIN THAT IS BLOCKING YOUR PATH, YOU CAN GO UP THROUGH THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THE CIRCLE . UM, IF YOU'RE ON IF YOU'RE YOU'RE DOWN BY FOREIGN FOREST, YOU CAN GO OVER TO ANIMAL AND VICE VERSA. SO. WITH THIS CONNECTIVITY. OBVIOUSLY THE NEIGHBORS WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE EFFECT THIS WOULD HAVE ON ON TRAFFIC, AND THEY ASK US TO IF WE COULD, UM, PROVIDE GATES AT SOUTHWEST OAK STREET AND SOUTH WEST PALM. NOW WE DON'T THINK WE CAN PROVIDE GATES FOR BOTH OF THOSE, BECAUSE IF WE DO THEN WE WOULD VIOLATE THE CODE OF THE KIND OF CONNECTIVITY REQUIREMENT OF THE CODE, BUT WE ARE PREPARED TO PLACE A GATE ON THE ENTRANCE AT LET ME GET TO OUR BULLET POINTS ARE COVERING IT UP AT SOUTH WEST PALM, SO THAT THERE WILL BE NO. THREE TRAFFIC. IT WILL BE AN EMERGENCY ACCESS GATE. SO THE ONLY THE ONLY AUTOMOBILES THAT WILL BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH WILL BE EMERGENCY FIRST RESPONDERS. THERE WILL BE NO TRAFFIC IN OR OUT, UM, ON THAT ROAD, AND WE ASKED WHEN WE MET WITH THE WITH THE NEIGHBORS . WE ASK THEM SAY, WELL, WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO PALM OR OAK, AND WE GOT THE RESPONSE THAT PALM IS MORE IMPORTANT TO CUT THAT OFF, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THERE'S MORE HOMES. AND SO IF THE COUNCIL WISHES TONIGHT TO PLACE A CONDITION OF REQUIRING AN EMERGENCY GATE AT THE ENTRANCE OF PALM DRIVE, WE'RE HAPPY TO DO SO. A COUPLE OTHER ISSUES WITH THE ROAD THAT I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT. WE DO HAVE A TRAFFIC STUDY AND WE HAVE OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER HERE HERE TONIGHT, AND, UM. THE STUDY IS CLEAR THAT THE ROADS AS DESIGNED MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF GENERAL, UH, TRAFFIC STANDARDS AND WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE CAPACITY FROM FROM WHATEVER LITTLE INCREASED TRAFFIC THERE WILL BE IN THIS PROJECT. ALSO IF YOU LOOK AT THE ROAD ON FAMILY, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN OUT THERE, I'VE BEEN OUT THERE SEVERAL TIMES THERE IS A LANDSCAPE MEDIAN THAT GOES THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THAT ROAD . IT'S VERY CLEAR TO ME AND I DON'T WANT TO ACCUSE ANYBODY OF VIOLATING A TRAFFIC LAWS BUT THAT THE RESIDENTS WEST OF FORMAL AVENUE JUST DRIVE RIGHT OVER THAT MEDIA, AND IF THEY'RE IF THEY'RE GOING NORTH SO ONE BENEFIT AND WE'RE GOING TO REPAVE ALL OF FORMAL AVENUES. THERE WILL BE IMPROVEMENT. THERE WERE ALSO GOING TO REPLACE A WATER MAIN THAT, UH THAT IN ASBESTOS, WATER MAIN, SO THAT'S ANOTHER BENEFIT ON FORMAL AVENUE . BUT THERE WERE ALSO GOING TO ADD SOME CUTS IN THAT MEDIAN SO YOU CAN SEE ONE ON THE RIGHT PART OF YOUR SCREEN THAN ONE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN. SO NOW IF RESIDENTS SHOULD SO CHOOSE, THEY CAN TURN RIGHT FROM THEIR HOUSES AND THEN MAKE U TURNS IF THEY'RE GOING NORTH ON FORMAL

[01:25:03]

AVENUE. ONE OF THE OTHER CONCERNS WILL ACTUALLY TWO OF THE OTHER CONCERNS FROM THE NEIGHBORS THAT THEY PUT IN WRITING OR CAN WE PUT A FOR A FOUR WAY? STOP UM, EAST OF FROM FROM WOOD FOREST ROAD, YOU CAN SEE IT'S JUST OFF THE SCREEN THERE AND THEN ALSO SOME SPEED TABLES ON FORMAL AVENUE AND AS THESE OCCUR OFF SITE, I DON'T THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR US TO MAKE THAT PART OF OUR SITE PLAN. BUT SHOULD THE VILLAGE DEEMED THEM APPROPRIATE? THE PROPERTY OWNER IS WILLING TO FUND THE INSTALLMENT OF THOSE SPEED TABLES AND THE FOUR WAY STOP. I WILL NOTE THAT WE ALREADY HAVE STOP SIGNS FOR ALL OF THE EXITS COMING OUT OF THE PROPERTY, EXCEPT FOR THE ONE ON OAK STREET . JUST BECAUSE IT IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE BECAUSE IT'S SO FAR AWAY FROM WHERE THE REST OF THE TRAFFIC IS GOING TO BE. SO MOVING ALONG AND THIS SITE PLAN WILL KIND OF BUILD AS WE GO ALONG ON THE PRESENTATION. UM THIS WE HAVE SIDEWALK COVERAGE THROUGHOUT THE SITE AGAIN. WE WANT THIS TO BE A COMMUNITY. A PLACE WHERE YOU KNOW YOU CAN.

YOU CAN WALK YOUR DOG. YOU CAN TAKE A WALK WITH YOUR FAMILY. AND SO FOR THAT REASON WE HAVE PROPOSED SIDEWALKS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SITE. AND IT REALLY IS AN ARTISTIC DESIGN. WHAT WE DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE WAS JUST A COMMUNITY THAT WAS A BIG SQUARE WITH JUST A LOT AFTER A LOT OF THE SAME SIZE LOT IN THE SAME SIZE HOUSE, SO WE HAVE 100 AND 76 HOME SITES, AND THERE'S A VARIETY OF RESIDENT OPTIONS. YOU CAN SEE ALL THE DIFFERENT SIZED LOTS AND THE DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS OF LOTS AROUND THOSE CIRCLES. AND IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO US THAT THIS LOOKED BEAUTIFUL AND WE THINK IT DOES AND THAT AGAIN, IT BE A MODEL FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IN THE IN THE VILLAGE. UM HERE'S A RENDERING OF THE LAKES THAT WILL BE ON THE PROPERTY REVIEW WET AND DRY RETENTION, AND THAT BRINGS US TO ANOTHER ISSUE THAT , UM, THE RESIDENTS HAD, AND THAT WAS WITH DRAINAGE AND ONE OF THE REQUESTS THAT THEY THE NEIGHBORS PUT IN WRITING WAS WE WANT SOME SORT. UH OF, UM, ASSURANCE THAT ALL OF THE DRAINAGE WILL BE CONTAINED ON THE PROPERTY AND IS NOT GOING TO WORSEN ANY EXISTENT EXISTING DRAINING ISSUES AND THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS. SO WE HAVE A. LICENSED CIVIL ENGINEER GREG BOLAN, AND IN MY OPINION, A VERY GOOD LICENSED CIVIL ENGINEER WHO HAS CREATED UM HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PAGES OF DATA AND ANALYSIS AND COMPUTER MODELS, AND ALL OF THIS IS IN OUR SITE PLAN APPLICATION PACKET. AND WHAT ALL OF THOSE MODELS AND ALL THE DATA SHOWS IS ALL OF THE, UM ALL OF THE DRAINAGE. ALL THE WATER WILL BE KEPT ON OUR SITE AND THERE WILL BE NO IMPACT NO NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES, AND IN FACT, THERE'S GOING TO BE AN IMPROVEMENT ON THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. AND THE REASON IS, IF YOU LOOK AT THE WAY THE DRAINAGE IS RIGHT NOW, IF YOU LOOK AT THE ELEVATIONS THEIR PRIOR TO OUR DEVELOPMENT. THERE ARE SOME SPOTS BECAUSE THE SITE IS HIGHER WHERE WATER DRAINS FROM, UM OUR PROPERTY ONTO THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.

ONCE THE WATER IS COMPLETELY CAN'T CONTAINED IN OUR PROPERTY THAT WILL NO LONGER OCCUR SO THERE ACTUALLY WILL BE AN IMPROVEMENT TO THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORS. AND FOR THE ASSURANCE PURPOSES TO THE NEIGHBORS. I DON'T ASK THAT YOU TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. I ALSO DON'T EVEN ASK THAT YOU TAKE OUR EXPERTS WORD FOR IT. ALL OF THESE MODELS ARE DONE SO THAT SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT WHO IS THE REGULATORY ENTITY THAT GOVERNS, UM, DRAINAGE ISSUES CAN LOOK AT THIS CAN EVALUATE IT AND THEY WON'T GIVE US A PERMIT UNLESS WE CAN PROVE TO THEM WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT. THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO WORSEN ANYBODY'S DRAINAGE ISSUES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SO WITHOUT THAT SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT PERMIT. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO BUILD UM, THAT'S A YOU KNOW, THE VILLAGE WILL NOT GIVE US A BUILDING PERMIT UNLESS WE GET THAT PERMIT FROM SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, SO THE ASSURANCE IS NOT AGAIN NOT FOR ME AND NOT EVEN FROM OUR EXPERT, BUT IT'S FROM THE HIRED EXPERTS FROM THE STATE WHO DO THIS, YOU KNOW FOR HUNDREDS OF SITES A YEAR. AND I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE WETLAND PRESERVED, SO WE HAVE 42% OF THE PROPERTY IS DEDICATED TO OPEN SPACE, AND WE ALSO HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY THAT WAS SUBMITTED WITH OUR SITE PLAN APPLICATION THAT OUTLINES ALL OF THE, UM IF THERE'S ANY WILDLIFE ON THE PROPERTY. WHAT THE HOW MUCH WETLANDS THERE ARE AND WHAT THAT STUDY FOUND IS THERE'S ACTUALLY A LOT OF NON NATIVE VEGETATION ON THE PROPERTY THAT

[01:30:06]

WILL BE REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH NATIVE VEGETATION, AND WE ARE PRESERVING ALL THOSE AREAS IN GREEN THAT IN GREEN THAT ARE SURROUNDED BY THE YELLOW BORDER , OUR WETLANDS THAT WE ARE PRESERVING. WE'RE NOT TOUCHING. IN ADDITION TO THIS, WE'RE PRESERVING OVER 1000 TREES ON THE PROPERTY, AND THESE GREEN DOTS REPRESENT WHAT WE CALL SPECIMEN. OAK TREES, SPECIMEN OAK TREES. THERE'S 19 OF THEM ARE BASICALLY IN LAYMAN'S TERMS , THE BEST OAK TREES THAT YOU SEE ON THE PROPERTY. IT MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST AS YOU LOOK AT HIM AND SAY, OH, THOSE ARE THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL LUXURIES, BUT THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE THE HEALTHIEST THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO LIVE THE LONGEST AND THE ONE THAT WE FEED THE ONES THAT WE FEEL ARE WORTH PRESERVING SO OF THOSE 19 TREES. TWO OF THEM WERE KEEPING EXACTLY WHERE THEY ARE. AND UM 17 OF THEM WERE MOVING TO OTHERS SPOTS IN THE PROPERTY. SO HERE'S A MOBILE GRAPHIC THAT SHOWS WHERE THOSE TREES ARE GONE. SO IT LOOKS LIKE A FOOTBALL PLAYER TO ME, BUT, UH, THOSE ARE THOSE ARE WHERE THE TREES ARE MOVING TO AND THERE WILL BE PRESERVED ON THE SITE. AND ON THE ISSUE OF THE WETLANDS. I WANT TO JUST BRIEFLY. KIND OF EXPLAIN WHAT NORMALLY SORRY. WHO. SO TYPICALLY, WELL, MAYBE NOT TYPICALLY, BUT ONE OPTION FOR A DEVELOPER WHEN THEY ARE DEVELOPING A SITE LIKE THIS THAT HAS WETLANDS IS INSTEAD OF PRESERVING THEM. THEY CAN SAY WE'RE GOING TO BUILD RIGHT OVER THEM, AND WE'RE GONNA MITIGATE THIS BY PAYING FOR CREDITS AT A MITIGATION BANK. AND SO WHAT THAT IS A MITIGATION BANK IS AN OFFSITE. UM FACILITY WHERE WETLANDS ARE PRESERVED, AND YOU'RE ABLE TO PAY THEM A FEE, AND IN RETURN, THEY GIVE YOU A CREDIT AND THEN YOU CAN TURN THAT INTO THE STATE AGENCY OR THE LOCAL LOCAL REGULATORS AND SAY AND EXCHANGE FOR THIS CREDIT WE'RE GONNA BUILD RIGHT OVER THOSE WETLANDS. SO THAT'S A GREAT DEAL FOR DEVELOPERS SOMETIMES BECAUSE WHATEVER MONEY YOU SPEND ON THOSE CREDITS YOU CAN MAKE UP FOR ON THE INCREASED DENSITY IN A SITE, BUT IT'S A BAD DEAL A LOT OF TIMES FOR THE TOWN AND FOR THE NEIGHBORS BECAUSE THEY DON'T GET ANY BENEFIT FROM THEM. THEY LOSE ALL OF THE BENEFIT OF HAVING A BEAUTIFUL WETLAND RIGHT NEXT DOOR. SO WE'RE NOT DOING THAT FOR ALL OF THESE WETLANDS HERE, WE'RE GOING TO PRESERVE THEM AND WE'RE GOING TO OUR RESIDENTS ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THEM AND ALSO, THE COMMUNITY CAN ENJOY THE VIEWS AS WELL. THERE'S LIGHT GREEN AND DARK. YEAH. WHAT'S THE LIGHT BLUE? THAT'S DRY RETENTION AREAS. YEAH. SO NOW I WANT TO TALK. ABOUT LANDSCAPING AS I MENTIONED THE PRESERVATION OF THE TREES AND YOU'LL SEE LITTLE HIGHLIGHTS THERE. UM THAT'S A POCKET PARKS. SO THIS WAS ANOTHER REQUEST FROM THE NEIGHBORS IS CAN YOU GUYS PUT SOME SPOTS IN THERE SO THAT THE RESIDENTS CAN ENJOY LEISURE ACTIVITIES, SOME SOME SORT OF PARK, AND THE CONCERN WAS WELL, THEY DIDN'T WANT KIDS IF THERE'S NOTHING TO DO IN THERE HAVING TO CROSS MAJOR STREETS, UM, TRYING TO PLAY ON A DAILY BASIS, SO WE WORKED WITH OUR TEAM. WE FOUND THREE SITES. THREE SPOTS WITHIN THE SITE WHERE YOU CAN PUT LITTLE YOU CAN PUT POCKET PARKS . UM YOU KNOW, PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT, PICNIC TABLES, YOU CAN MAKE IT A DOG PARK, SORT OF WHATEVER THE RESIDENTS WISH TO DO THERE. UM BUT AGAIN, IF THE IF IT'S AT THE COUNCIL'S PLEASURE TO ADOPT A CONDITION ON APPROVAL, WE ARE HAPPY TO ACCOMMODATE THAT FOR THE ISSUE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THREE POCKET PARKS ON THE ON THE SITE.

ALSO ON THE LEFT PART OF THE SCREEN. YOU'LL SEE THAT'S WHERE THE EMERGENCY GATE WILL BE INSTALLED ON PALM AVENUE. PALM DRIVE. SO ANOTHER CONCERN THAT THE RESIDENTS OF THE NEIGHBORS HAD WAS BUFFERING. SO THEY IN WRITING, UM BASICALLY SAID ASKED US FOR TWO OPTIONS. ONE IS CAN YOU CONSTRUCT A SIX FT CONCRETE WALL AROUND THE ENTIRE SITE? WE DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS WISE TO DO , AND WE ALSO THOUGHT THAT WOULD VIOLATE THE CODE FOR, UM FOR THAT THAT DIS FAVORS GATED OR WILD COMMUNITIES, BUT THEY GAVE THE NEIGHBORS GAVE US ANOTHER OPTION. THEY SAID. WELL CAN YOU PUT LANDSCAPE BUFFERING AROUND THE PROPERTY, SO WE HIGHLIGHTED THESE THREE GREEN AREAS AND THESE ARE ALL OF THE AREAS WHERE WE HAVE LOTS THAT ABUT EXISTING RESIDENTIAL LOTS AND ARE NOT

[01:35:04]

WITHIN OUR UM, CONSERVATION, OUR WETLANDS PRESERVE. WE DIDN'T THINK THAT RESIDENTS WOULD WANT TO BUFFER FROM THE WETLANDS PRESERVE. WE THOUGHT, YOU KNOW IF I WAS LIVING NEXT TO ONE, I WOULD. I WOULD WANT TO SEE IT. I WOULDN'T WANT TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, LANDSCAPING IN MY LIFE IN MY SIGHT LINE. SO AGAIN IF THE COUNCIL WISHES TO ADOPT A CONDITION THAT PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT. WE AMEND OUR LANDSCAPING PLAN TO PROVIDE FOR LANDSCAPE BUFFERING IN THE SPECIFIC AREAS. WE'RE HAPPY TO ACCOMMODATE THAT REQUEST. SO THESE ARE THE OPTIONS. THESE ARE KIND OF OUR ARTISTIC OR ARCHITECTURAL RENDERINGS OF WHAT THE HOMES ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE AND AGAIN. WE'RE GONNA HAVE MANY OPTIONS FOR HOMES AND THE SITE. THERE WILL BE FOUR BEDROOM OPTIONS AND THREE BEDROOM OPTIONS. THE EXACT FINISHES, UM WILL CHANGE PRIOR TO BECAUSE WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL BE AVAILABLE AND WHAT'S ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE AT THE TIME THAT THAT CONSTRUCTION BEGINS. BUT THIS IS FUNCTIONALLY WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE BASICALLY AND AGAIN. WE WANT THESE TO LOOK LIKE, UM, YOU KNOW, A NICE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD. WE'RE NOT TRYING TO BUILD APARTMENTS. ENOUGH. EXACTLY. UM SO. COUPLE OTHER SLIDES. I WANTED TO SHOW AND THESE ARE THE HISTORIC PICTURES FROM OUR SITE AND THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS AND THIS IS RELATED. I KNOW THERE WAS AN ISSUE AT THE P C. A B HEARING ABOUT THE TREES AND WE WANTED TO SHOW YOU THAT WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO. IS NOT ONLY IN LINE WITH THE HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY AN IMPROVEMENT ON ON PRESERVATION OF THE TREES IN THE AREA, SO USED TO BE I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. THE WAY THOSE TREES LINED UP CERTAIN CERTAINLY POSSIBLE SO YOU CAN SEE IN 1958 THE EXPANSIVE TREE COVERAGE IN THE AREA, AND IF WE MOVE ALONG INTO THE FUTURE, THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE IN 94.

YOU CAN SEE. A LOT OF THOSE TREES WERE ALREADY CLEARED OUT AND THEN, AS DEVELOPMENT CONTINUED IN 2004 MORE TREES WERE, UM REMOVED FROM THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. AND THEN THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TODAY, AND WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO IS ACTUALLY AN IMPROVEMENT ON THIS BECAUSE WE'RE NOT CLEARING THAT ENTIRE AREA. WE'RE PRESERVING 1000 TREES OVER 1000 TREES AND ALSO PRESERVING THOSE WETLANDS. SO WE FEEL THAT ANY CONCERN ABOUT THE TRAINS IS REALLY OVERBLOWN. WHAT WE'RE DOING IS NOT ONLY IN LINE BUT ACTUALLY AN IMPROVEMENT OVER WHAT THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE DONE. UM SO WITH THAT I WOULD LIKE TO BRIEFLY JUST CALL UP OUR FOUR EXPERTS JUST TO HAVE THEM AUTHENTICATE THE UM, AFFIDAVITS THAT ARE ENTERED INTO THE RECORD, AND THEN WE WILL OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD. UM TODD. THIS IS TODD MAORI. HE IS OUR LAND PLANNING EXPERT. CAN YOU JUST STATE AND SPELL YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD? SURE TODD MAORI T O D MAORI M O W E R Y RECOGNIZE THIS DOCUMENT DO YOU STATE WHAT IT IS AFFIDAVIT. PROVIDES YOU SIGN AND HAVE THAT AFFIDAVIT NOTARIZED. I DID TRUE AND CORRECT COPY OF THE AFFIDAVIT. IT IS. THANKS. RIGHT? BRIAN KELLY. HE IS OUR TRAFFIC EXPERT. FRANK CAN YOU SEE IT AND START YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD? YES BRIAN KELLY, B R Y A. N KELLEY K E L L E Y. WHAT THIS DOCUMENT IS YES, THIS IS THE AFFIDAVIT. IS THIS A DID YOU EXECUTE AND HAVE THIS AFFIDAVIT NOTARIZED? YES I DID TRUE AND CORRECT COPY OF THE AFFIDAVIT.

YES, IT IS. BREAK. I FEEL LIKE I'M HANDING OUT AWARDS. HMM. GREG BOLAND. G R E G B O L E N GREG OF THE STATE OF BEFORE IS OUR CIVIL ENGINEER EXPERT. UM CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THIS DOCUMENT IS? IT'S AN AFFIDAVIT PREPARED. DID YOU SIGN AND HAVE THIS AFFIDAVIT NOTARIZED? I DID.

AND IS THIS A TRUE AND CORRECT COPY OF THE AFFIDAVIT? IT IS. AND ONE MORE RED. AND AS OUR ENVIRONMENTAL EXPERT. YOU STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. EDWARD WEINBERG E D W A R D W E I N B E R G AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN THANK YOU. TELL ME WHAT THIS DOCUMENT IS. THIS IS AN AFFIDAVIT

[01:40:05]

PREPARED REGARDING THE PROJECT. AND DID YOU SIGN THIS AFFIDAVIT IN FRONT OF A MOTORING? I DID SAY TRUE AND CORRECT COPY OF THE AFFIDAVIT. YES, IT IS. THANK YOU. AND I SUPPOSE THEY'RE ALREADY IN. BUT I'D LIKE TO FORMALLY ASK THAT THESE AFFIDAVITS AND THE DOCUMENTS THAT ARE INCORPORATED WITH THE IN THE AFFIDAVITS BE INCORPORATED AND ENTERED INTO THE RECORD OF THIS HEARING. MARY YOU CAN JUST ASK IF THERE'S ANY OBJECTION FROM THE COUNCIL, AND IF NOT, THEY'LL BE ENTERED. IS THERE ANY OBJECTION? NO I APPRECIATE THAT, AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THE LAWYER SPEAK. UM OKAY. SO AT THIS TIME, HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL AND I OR ONE OF OUR EXPERTS WILL DO OUR BEST TO ANSWER IT. THANK YOU. SO, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL TO THE APPLICANT? REMEMBER, HERNANDEZ? YES I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR GOING STEP BY STEP AND DRESSING THE WHOLE AH, THE SHEET THAT THE, UM . THE RESIDENTS NEXT DOOR. THE NEIGHBORS NEXT DOOR GAVE YOU GUYS IN REGARDS OF THEIR CONCERNS AND EVERYTHING I KNOW YOU COULDN'T YOU KNOW, YOU TRIED YOUR BEST, UM ONE OF THE THINGS IS HOW WOULD THIS GO WITH TRYING TO IMPLEMENT CERTAIN STUFF THAT THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO DO. SURE AND MIRROR I CAN ADDRESS AND COUNCIL MEMBER I CAN I CAN ADDRESS THAT. THE APPLICANT UH, JUST RECENTLY, UH , FORWARDED OVER ME SOME LANGUAGE THAT IMPLEMENT IMPLEMENTED THE THREE DIFFERENT CONDITIONS THAT HE OUTLINED UM, THAT THAT WAS OUTLINED IN THE PRESENTATION, THE ONE RELATING TO THE THREE POCKET PARKS, THE ONE RELATING TO THE INSTALLATION OF EMERGENCY ACCESS GATE, UH, AT SOUTH WEST PALM DRIVE, AND THEN THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER ON THE SPECIFIED AREAS THAT WERE SHOWN ON THE MAP. I'VE REVIEWED THAT LANGUAGE AND HEARD THE PRESENTATION HERE, AND I THINK THIS THE LANGUAGE THEY PROVIDED. ADEQUATELY ADDRESSES IT. SO IF IT'S THE WILL OF THE COUNCIL UPON A MOTION TO INTEGRATE THOSE CONDITIONS INTO THE RESOLUTION, THIS IS THE I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS LANGUAGE IMPLEMENTS WHAT THEY'VE DESCRIBED THANK YOU. AND I THINK YOUR STAFF FOR MEETING WITH THE RESIDENTS ALONGSIDE OF ME. I REALLY YOU KNOW, THE CONCERN IS MY CONCERN. AH WE KNOW DEVELOPMENTS COMING INTO NEW IN TOWN AND YOU KNOW, TRYING TO WORK TOGETHER. I THANK YOU BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE IS THAT, YOU KNOW, OPEN AND REGARDS OF SPEAKING WITH RESIDENTS SITTING DOWN AND UNDERSTANDING THEIR CONCERNS. SO I THINK YOU ON THAT PART THANK YOU. KYLE'S ONE ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBER. COMMENTS. QUESTIONS. UM SO I NOTICED THERE'S AN ACCESS THERE TO THE CANAL. UM IS THAT PUBLIC ACCESS IS THAT THAT LITTLE RIGHT DOWN THERE TO THE CANAL. UM BETWEEN THE LOTS. DO YOU SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? IT'S A SIDEWALK.

YEAH, THIS THIS RIGHT HERE. OH NO, THAT THAT WILL BE FOR THE RESIDENTS. OKAY THEN LET ME ASK YOU ALSO, UM LIKE THERE'S TWO LAKES UP THERE, THE VERY TOP ARE THOSE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC WATER.

EVERYTHING ON THE SITE WILL BE WILL BE FOR THE RESIDENTS, OKAY? SO THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE STOCKED THAT I CAN COME OFFICIAL. OKAY I'M JUST CHECKING . JUST I'M SURE WE HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO WILL INVITE YOU OVER THERE. OKAY. IS THERE ANY MORE? COUNCIL. COMMENTS AND THANK YOU SO MUCH. UM I ECHO COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ AND THE WALKTHROUGH AND BEING VERY SPECIFIC. AND ADDRESSING WHAT YOU HAVE HAVE HEARD FROM THE COMMUNITY.

UM ALSO WHEN YOU GET TO THE PODIUM IF YOU WOULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

AND SO JEFF, CONSISTENT. GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS JEFF WAGNER AND I'VE BEEN

[01:45:08]

SWORN AND I LIVE ON FORMAL AVENUE RECENTLY, I WAS GIVEN A PETITION TO SIGN THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FROM QUOTE RESIDENTS OF SOUTHWEST FOR MEL BOULEVARD AND PALM FOCUSED STATES. AFTER READING IT CAREFULLY. I DECIDED NOT TO SIGN IT BECAUSE IT DOES NOT REPRESENT HOW I FEEL. SO I WANT TO EXPRESS HOW I DO FEEL SO THAT MY INPUT CAN BE INCLUDED, EVEN THOUGH MY NAME IS NOT ON ANY OF THE PETITIONS. I AM PRETTY SURE THAT IF I ASK FOR A SHOW OF HANDS OF THOSE WHO WANT MORE TRAFFIC GOING PAST THE FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE, IT WOULD REVEAL THAT WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE. WELL AT LEAST ON THAT ISSUE, BUT I SUSPECT THAT IS WHERE THE UNANIMITY WOULD END. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYBODY THINKS THEY'RE GETTING THE SHORT END OF THE STICK AND THEY WANT SOME CHANGES, SO IT WILL BE BETTER. FOR THEM. THE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE WITH THAT IS IF THEIR REQUEST MAKES IT WORSE FOR SOMEBODY ELSE. AND I BELIEVE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT A NUMBER OF THESE PROPOSALS DO. SINCE THE GIVEN IS THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE MORE TRAFFIC. THE REAL QUESTION BEFORE US IS WHAT IS THE MOST PRACTICABLE ROUTING OF THE TRAFFIC IN AND OUT OF THE DEVELOPMENT? THAT IS THE QUESTION. IF I UNDERSTAND THE PETITION CORRECTLY, IT IS BEING PROPOSED THAT ONE OR EVEN BOTH OF THE ACCESS POINTS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE DEVELOPMENT BE LIMITED OR CLOSED OR RESTRICTED TO REDUCE THE TRAFFIC THROUGH THE PALM OKA STATES NEIGHBORHOOD . OF COURSE, A LOT OF PEOPLE IN PALM OAK LIKE THAT IDEA AND HAVE SIGNED THE PETITION, BUT IF THIS EFFORT SUCCEEDS, WHAT THAT WILL OBVIOUSLY DO IS DIVERT SOME OR ALL OF THE TRAFFIC TO THE WEST THROUGH THE FORMAL NEIGHBORHOOD . IS THAT REALLY AN EQUITABLE AND FAIR PROCESS? POSE A WHILE. SUPPOSE ALL OF US ON FORMAL SIGN A PETITION SAYING WE REQUEST THAT THE WEST MAIN ENTRANCE BE DONE AWAY WITH AND ALL VEHICLES EXIT TO THE EAST. HOW WOULD THOSE IN PALM FOCUSED STATES FEEL COULD WE SWEETEN THE DEAL WITH SPEED BUMPS THROUGH THEIR ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD TO KEEP THE TRAFFIC MOVING SLOWLY AS IT PASSES BY THEIR HOUSE? WOULD THAT BE A FAIR AND EQUITABLE SOLUTION? OF COURSE, NOT CLOSING DOWN ACCESS POINTS IN AN EFFORT TO SEND TRAFFIC PASSED. SOMEONE ELSE'S HOUSE IS REALLY A SELF SERVING PROPOSAL. IF I WERE TO ASK FOR A SHOW OF HANDS OF THOSE WHO WANT THE LEAST TRAFFIC GOING PAST THE FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE, I THINK ALL WOULD AGREE. AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WHAT IS FAIR AND EQUITABLE IS TO DIVIDE THE TRAFFIC UP OVER HIS MANY ACCESS POINTS AS POSSIBLE. THAT SEEMS TO BE TO ME TO BE THE MOST PRACTICABLE ROUTING OF THE TRAFFIC IN AND OUT OF THE DEVELOPMENT. AND THERE'S A FAIR SOLUTION FOR ALL OF US SO I WOULD ASK THE COUNCIL AND THE DEVELOPER NOT TOO CLOSE OR LIMIT ANY ACCESS POINTS IN AND OUT OF THE DEVELOPMENT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. JENNIFER SIESTA OR KOSTYA. I'M SORRY. WHEN YOU SAY YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. GO AHEAD AND PULL THAT DOWN, GET UP AND POST SOME PERSONAL YEAH, YEAH. JENNIFER SIESTA AND I AM SWORN I AM ONE OF THE FEW RESIDENTS AND LOOK FOR US THAT HELPED. CAN YOU HEAR ME? NOW THERE YOU GO. UM SO I AM ONE OF THE RESIDENTS I MET WITH A FEW OF YOU. UM I REALLY DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT TO SAY EXCEPT A BUNCH OF THANK YOU. I WAS GIVEN SOME REALLY GOOD ADVICE FROM ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS. I TOOK THAT ADVICE. I WORKED WITH A COUPLE OF THE RESIDENTS AND WE LOOKED AT WHAT WE WERE DEALING WITH. IT WAS GOING IN OUR BACKYARDS AND DECIDED TO SEE IF WE CAN MAKE A FAIR COMPROMISE FOR A LOT OF US. WE DID TRY TO THINK ABOUT AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE POSSIBLY COULD, WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DO, ESPECIALLY ON TWO DIFFERENT SIDES OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SO I REALLY WANT TO SHOW MY GRATITUDE AND APPRECIATION TO THE DEVELOPERS FOR MEETING WITH US, CONSIDERING EVERY POINT THAT WE BROUGHT OUT AND I WILL HONESTLY SAY I DON'T I'M SPEAKING FOR MYSELF. UM BUT I REALLY DO APPRECIATE WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE COME UP WITH. AND I THINK IT IS A VERY FAIR SOLUTION. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GAIL STEWART.

WELCOME TO GO AHEAD NOW. YOU CAN STAND RIGHT THERE. YOU CAN STAND AT THE PODIUM. JUST RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM? YOU WILL TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. THANK YOU. IN MIAMI. I LEAVE IT ON THE EVENING IN THE IN TOWN VILLAGE COUNCIL STATE.

[01:50:07]

YOUR NAME. MY NAME IS GAIL STUART. I'M AN INDIAN TOWN RESIDENT WITH MY HUSBAND.

WILLIAM STEWART. FOR OVER 16 YEARS WE LIVE ON PALM OAK AVENUE. WE WILL BE AFFECTED.

WITH THIS. BECAUSE WE'RE THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. LIKE THE MOVIE WHERE THE WHERE THE VERY END OF THE TRAIL, SO NO MATTER WHICH WAY WE'RE GOING UM FERNWOOD FOREST. UM. REGARDING THE TRAINS OR ENTRANCES, WHETHER IT BE FAMILY OR. SOUTHWEST FERNWOOD FOR US. IT DOESN'T MATTER. AND IF THERE'S ANYONE HERE THAT CAN SPEAK ABOUT THE TRAIN C S X. I CAN TELL YOU FIRST HAND. YOU BETTER GET READY FOR SOME SOUNDS AND SOME VIBRATIONS AND FOR YOUR BUILDING THIS DEVELOPMENT MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SOUNDPROOF AND YOU HAVE ANCHORS AND EVERYTHING ALICE PLACED INSIDE YOUR YOUR BUILDINGS AND AS FAR AS IF THEY'RE 911 IS CALLED THERE HAD BEEN A FORMER LAWSUIT WHERE CSX WAS. WE CALL IT RACKING AND STACKING THEY BACK UP. AND LOAD THEY HAVE TO FORWARD AND BACK IN DOING SO IT CROSSES ARE SWING BRIDGE CROSSES SOUTHWEST FOR A NODE FOREST. IT CROSSES FAMILY AND WEST OF FAMILY GOES TO THREE TRACKS WHERE THEY WILL CONTINUE TO RACK AND STACK. NOW THE LAST STATES. THEY HAVE TO. MOVE. IN AN HOUR. BUT WITHIN THAT HOUR, ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD. ONE OR TWO INCHES AND THE CLOCK STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. SO I WANT TO BRING TO ALL OF YOUR ATTENTION. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT ENTRANCE YOU WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THIS IS SOMETHING THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT. THE PEOPLE IN RIVER OAK, THE RIVER ARE THE PEOPLE ON FAMILY AND THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT ARE GOING TO FACE. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL. THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU SO MUCH. OKAY, SO ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS, REBUTTAL OR CLOSING STATEMENTS FROM THE APPLICANT OR STAFF? APPLICANT FIRST DONE FROM STAFF. NONE FROM STAFF. THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE AGAIN TO THE NEIGHBORS , AND I KNOW IT'S HARD AND I THINK WE HEARD THAT FROM THE COUPLE COMMENTS TONIGHT. THERE ARE MANY NEIGHBORS WHO ARE CONCERNED, BUT THEIR CONCERNS MIGHT NOT BE ALIGNED WITH ONE ANOTHER. SO I WANT TO APPLAUD THEM FOR GETTING TOGETHER AND COMING UP WITH COMPROMISES. SO LIKE THE FIRST GENTLEMAN SPOKE ABOUT WE'RE NOT JUST PUTTING ALL OF THE BURDEN ON THE FAMILY RESIDENCE AND VICE VERSA. WE'RE NOT JUST PUTTING ALL THE BURDEN ON THE FOREIGN WORD FOREST RESIDENTS. SO I THINK BETWEEN THOSE TWO GROUPS OF NEIGHBORS AND THE DEVELOPER, WE HAVE COME UP WITH A COMPROMISE. SO I'D LIKE TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR WORKING SO HARD TOGETHER AND ALSO THANK YOU ALL TONIGHT FOR HEARING US OUT. WE APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR EFFORT. SO AT THIS TIME, I WILL NOW CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND REQUEST DISCUSSION ON THE ITEM. SEEING HOW WE'VE HAD PLENTY OF THAT. DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY MORE. DO I HEAR A MOTION MOTION?

[REGULAR AGENDA]

HE'S NOT PAYING ANY ATTENTION. GO AHEAD. WE ADDED THIS ITEM AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR INDULGENCE IN ALLOWING US TO PUT THIS ON AS AN ADDENDUM. UM WE WERE IN CONVERSATIONS EARLIER. UM THIS WEEK ABOUT THE CONNECTION FEES AND THEN ALSO THIS RATE STUDY. AND THE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAD DONE THE CONNECTION FEES. ARE THE SAME INDIVIDUALS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO ENGAGE FOR THE RATES STUDY, AND SO IF WE CAN GO AHEAD AND GET THIS AGREEMENT SIGNED, WE CAN HAVE OUR RATES STUDY COMING BACK TO THE COUNCIL AND THE AND FOR APPROVAL, HOPEFULLY BY MEMORIAL DAY. THIS RATE STUDY IS ESSENTIAL FOR US IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO GET THE STATE TO FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE.

WITH THE VILLAGES FINANCES RELATIVE TO THE UTILITY, WATER AND WASTEWATER PLANTS. SO WE WOULD LIKE TO GET STARTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS. THIS IS, UH, AS YOU CAN SEE. IT WAS DATED FEBRUARY 23RD. IT KIND OF GOT BURIED IN SOME SOME EMAIL.

UNFORTUNATELY SO WE WOULD HAVE BROUGHT IT SOONER BUT TALKING WITH THEM YESTERDAY AND THE NEXT ITEM THAT MR BOSE IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT IS SOME REALLY GREAT NEWS. AS FAR AS YOUR CONNECTION FEES GO, SO WE NEED TO GET OUR RATES IN LINE. WITH WHAT THIS STUDY WILL PROVIDE, AND IT SHOULD BE SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH WITH THE CONNECTION FEES WHERE YOU'LL BE GIVEN DIFFERENT OPTIONS. AND SO YOU CAN DETERMINE AS A COUNCIL AT WHAT LEVEL YOU WANT THOSE RATES TO BE SET. OKAY, SO JUST SO I'M I'M CLEAR. YES, MA'AM STUDY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NEXT ITEM ON THE CONNECTION FEES. CORRECT CORRECT, SO WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE ON THE NEXT ITEM? YES, MA'AM WITHOUT THIS, OKAY, SO THIS IS JUST THE SAME FIRM. THAT'S ALL. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY? SO DO I MAKE A MOTION MOTION HAS BEEN MADE A SECOND HAS BEEN MADE. IS THERE ANY, UM, COUNSEL COMMENT JUST JUST TO CLARIFY MADAM MAYOR , UM THAT THIS STUDY IS BEING REALLY REQUESTED BY SRF BECAUSE THEY'VE GIVEN US. UM ACTUALLY, YOU WOULD BE IN A POSITION WHERE YOU WOULD HAVE TO DO THIS ANYWAYS. AS A UTILITY OWNER, OKAY, BECAUSE AT SOME POINT IF YOU'RE EVER CHALLENGED ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE CHARGING INDIVIDUALS FOR THEIR RATES, YOU NEED TO HAVE THIS STUDY IN OUR IN ORDER TO VALIDATE WHAT THOSE RATES ARE AND HOW YOU GOT TO THAT NUMBER. OKAY JUST TRYING TO JUSTIFY WHY WE NEED TO STUDY. THANK YOU. SURE, AND TERRENCE. TERRENCE CORRECT, YOU GOTTA YOU GOTTA HAVE A STUDY TO BACK UP ANY SORT OF RATES LIKE THIS. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THE RATES WE HAVE CURRENTLY, UH, WE'RE BACKED UP BY THE STUDY. THAT WAS DONE RIGHT WHEN WE ACQUIRED OKAY. BUT UH, WHAT WE'RE RUNNING INTO, AS AS TEARING INDICATED WITH THE STATE REVOLVING FUND WITH F D E P IS THERE WANTING TO SEE? UM THEY WANT TO SEE A RATE STUDY THAT THAT SHOWS MORE, UM FINANCIAL VIABILITY WITH REGARD TO SUGGEST SO. IT'S DRIVEN IN PART BY THAT NEED, JUST AS AS TERRENCE SAID, BUT IT'S ALSO NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN, UH, CURRENT STUDIES TO BACK UP YOUR RIGHTS AND TYPICALLY HOW. HOW HOW LONG OR HOW FREQUENTLY DO WE HAVE TO DO RATE STUDIES AS OWNERS OF IS THAT EVERY YEAR EVERY TWO YEARS, IT UM IT IS FROM A PURE LEGAL STANDPOINT, IT'S NOT AS RIGOROUS AS YOU DO WITH IMPACT FEES OR CAPITAL CONNECTION FEES LIKE WE'RE ABOUT TO TALK ABOUT IN A SECOND, BUT GOOD PRACTICE THAT I'VE SEEN IS YOU LOOK AT IT AT LEAST SAY

[02:00:01]

EVERY FIVE YEARS, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE OFTEN TIMES, YOU END UP , UM, WHEN YOU LOOK AT AT RATES YOU MIGHT HAVE A RECOMMENDATION FOR A LITTLE BIT OF AN ESCALATOR TO GO ALONG WITH THINGS AND THAT CAN KIND OF KEEP IT UP TO DATE A LITTLE BIT MORE, BUT, UM, WE'RE HITTING. WE'RE HITTING A TIME WHERE IT WOULD BE REASONABLE ANYWAYS, TO DO THAT STUDY, BUT IT'S ALL THE MORE PRESSED BY SRF SAYING THEY WANT TO SEE IT SO THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU. THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY QUESTION. HOW OFTEN UM APPRECIATE THAT ANY OTHER COUNCIL CONCERNS QUESTIONS, COMMENTS DO WE? WE PROMOTION. MIGHT HAVE EMOTION. WE HAVE A SECOND. IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT. YES, ANITA PRESSLER. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ANITA PRESSLER AND I'M A RESIDENT. UM WE PAID FOR A CONSULTANT WHO DID AN IN DEPTH REVIEW OF OUR SYSTEM.
