[00:05:04]

LOOKING FORWARD TO A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR. HEY, SHEILA. SO AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING OUT.

ANYBODY ELSE? GO AHEAD. I JUST WANT TO SAY HAPPY NEW YEAR. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. I DO HAVE TWO QUESTIONS. IF WE CAN GET AN UPDATE ON HERITAGE ON THE MARTIN COUNTY HERITAGE FESTIVAL, I HAVEN'T SEEN A FLIERS POSTED. OKAY. AND THEN I ALSO WANTED TO SEE IF YOU CAN GIVE US AN UPDATE ON INDIAN MOUND DRIVE WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THAT TOWARDS THE END OF AMERICA STREET, WITH ALL THE WIRING THAT IS BEING DONE BY PIKE. MR. NOLAN, WHERE ARE YOU? PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME KEEP TALKING. GOOD EVENING, PAT NOLAN. FOR THE RECORD. THE PROJECT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS NOT A VILLAGE PROJECT. THAT IS A CONTRACTOR THAT'S WORKING THERE. WE ARE WORKING HARD TO GET THEM BACK TO FIX THAT. TYPICALLY, WE DON'T HAVE THIS KIND OF TROUBLE WITH PIKE, BUT WE ARE IN THIS INSTANCE. SO I WILL CONTINUE WITH MY STAFF TO STAY ON THEM, TO TRY TO GET THEM BACK, TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE THAT THEY DID WHEN THEY PUT THE I BELIEVE IT WAS FIBER THAT THEY PUT IN. SO WE ARE WORKING ON IT AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON IT. THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE. OKAY. ANYTIME. YES. I'D LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT. THE LAST SATURDAY OF THE MONTH. THIS MONTH, JULY, WE'RE HAVING OUR ANNUAL COMMUNITY CLEANUP. IT WILL START AT 6 A.M. THERE ARE TWO LOCATIONS, ONE IN BOOKER PARK, WHICH WAS THE OLD FIRE DEPARTMENT, WHICH IS NOW PARKS AND REC. THE OTHER IS PARK AT FAMILY POST PARK. POST FAMILY PARK. A SAFETY CONCERN THAT I HAD AT BIG MOUND PARK. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS IN THE PARKING LOT THAT HAS BEEN RESOLVED, SO I THINK THE PARKS FOR THAT. ALL LIGHTS ARE WORKING. SO IT IS NOT DARK IN THE PARK. SPORTS FOR THE VILLAGE. THAT'S ANOTHER PARKS AND REC ITEM THAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT. WILL NOT TALK ABOUT IT. WE NEED TO BE ABOUT IT. WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS, SO NOW WE NEED TO START DOING SOME THINGS WITH THAT ONE. I THINK THAT'S IT. OH, THE HERITAGE FESTIVAL. IT'S CALLED THE MARTIN COUNTY HERITAGE FESTIVAL. WHY WASN'T IT THE INDIANTOWN HERITAGE FESTIVAL? I DIDN'T WHEN WE STARTED THIS CONVERSATION BECAUSE TIMER POWER PARK IS IN MARTIN COUNTY. IT'S NOT AN INDIAN TOWN, AND WE DIDN'T WANT TO LIMIT OUR SPONSORS TO ONLY INDIANTOWN SPONSORS. SO WE REFER TO IT AS MARTIN COUNTY HERITAGE FESTIVAL. CAN WE REVISIT THAT? BECAUSE I THINK WE CAN ALSO GET SPONSORS, BUT IT'S IN INDIANTOWN, AND INDIANTOWN IS IN MARTIN COUNTY.

BUT ALL OF THE RESOURCES THAT ARE PUTTING THE FESTIVAL ON ARE MOSTLY COMING FROM HERE.

CORRECT. WELL, WE'RE UTILIZING SOME PARK STAFF. YEP. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. NOW, THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE. AND. LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS NEW YEAR. SO WE HAD A STRONG ENDING LAST YEAR AND VERY STRONG ENDING, ACTUALLY, AND A VERY STRONG ENDING STARTING TO THIS YEAR. SO SO IT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD YEAR. SO WITH THAT. COMMENTS BY VILLAGE MANAGER. NO

REDEFINING THE BOUNDARIES OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN TO INCLUDE SAID PROPERTY PROVIDING FOR LEGAL DESCRIPTION AND A MAP PROVIDING FOR IMPLEMENTATION AND NOTICE TO APPROPRIATE AGENCIES, AND PROVIDING FOR FINDINGS, CONFLICTS, NON CODIFICATION, SEVERABILITY AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO DINA FOR THE STAFF PRESENTATION. THANK YOU DINA FREEMAN WITH THE COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT. THANK YOU TO WADE FOR THAT VERY EXTENSIVE READ OF 18 DIFFERENT PARCEL NUMBERS. I'M GLAD THAT I DON'T HAVE TO REPEAT THAT. SO THIS IS ANNEX 25 001 APPLICATION NUMBER, A VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION CALLED PROJECT PARROT BY FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT. AND THIS IS THE FIRST OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARINGS, HAVING HAD THE PLANNING, ZONING APPEALS PUBLIC HEARING YESTERDAY THAT WE'LL GET INTO IN A LITTLE WHILE. BUT THE PRESENTATION IS A SUMMARY OF THE AGENDA PACKET, WHICH IS A PUBLIC RECORD. AND IT WAS CREATED AFTER A VERY EXTENSIVE REVIEW AND STAFF ANALYSIS, INCLUDING ALL OF THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COLLEAGUES APPLICABLE TO ANNEXATION, PROJECT ENGINEER, PUBLIC WORKS UTILITIES DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, PLANNING, TRAFFIC, ENVIRONMENTAL BOUNDARY SURVEY PROFESSIONALS AND AND VILLAGE STAFF. SO LET'S START THE PRESENTATION AND THEN I'LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION. SO THE APPLICATION VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION REQUEST FOR 5,722.30 ACRES OF PROPERTY LOCATED NORTH AND SOUTH OF SOUTHWEST KANNER HIGHWAY AND WEST OF WARFIELD BOULEVARD, AND IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF THE EXISTING BOUNDARIES OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. SO WHAT THE APPLICANTS ARE ASKING FOR IS TO EXTEND THE BOUNDARY, THE EXISTING MUNICIPAL BOUNDARY OF INDIAN TOWN, AND INCREASE THE BOUNDARY BY 5,722.30 ACRES AS A

[00:15:04]

THE LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS, THE WARRANTY DEEDS, AND THE OVERALL MAP AND INFORMATION WAS ALL PROVIDED AND CORRECT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT ENCOMPASSED AND ACCURATELY DEPICTED WHAT IS BEING REQUESTED TO BE INCLUDED WITHIN THE VILLAGE. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE BIT EARLIER. THE RED BOUNDARY IS THE EXISTING MUNICIPAL BOUNDARY.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THE NEXT MAP SHOWS WHAT THE MAP WILL LOOK LIKE WITH THE. IF THE ANNEXATION IS APPROVED, THE BOUNDARIES WILL EXTEND TO INCLUDE THE THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION LAND. SO THE RED BOUNDARY WILL EXTEND TO INCLUDE THIS OVERALL RED BOUNDARY FOR THE EXTENT OF WHAT WILL BE THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. THIS IS THE EXISTING LAND USE WITHIN. WE'VE GOT THE VILLAGE AND WE'VE GOT THE COUNTY MAP. WE'VE GOT BOTH GIS MAP LAYERS ON THERE TO SHOW YOU THE AREA WITHIN THE RED AREA, WHICH IS ALL A VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN LAND USE AND THE MARTIN COUNTY LAND USES. THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT LAND USES RIGHT NOW CONSERVATION, AGRICULTURAL, AND THE MAJOR POWER GENERATION FACILITY. AND WITH AN ANNEXATION, YOU CANNOT RETAIN THE EXISTING MARTIN COUNTY LAND USE DESIGNATIONS WHICH ARE WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. YOU WOULD THE APPLICANT, AS A SEPARATE APPLICATION TO THIS IS REQUIRED TO CHANGE THE LAND USE. IF THE ANNEXATION IS SUCCESSFULLY APPROVED, AND SO CONCURRENT TO THIS APPLICATION AND THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM WILL BE A LARGE

[00:20:04]

AND THEN WE PROVIDE THE THE PRESENTATION. AND IT'S ALL BASICALLY AN ANALYSIS AND A SUMMARY OF STAFF'S FINDINGS. AND IN ORDER TO GET TO THIS POINT, STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS REQUIRED TO SAY IT MEETS ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS, THE PROCEDURES, AND IT'S READY FOR ACTION BEFORE PCI AS THE LPA AND NOW BEFORE YOU AS VILLAGE COUNCIL, AS ONE OF TWO ADDITIONAL PUBLIC HEARINGS. SO THE PUBLIC HEARING PCAB YOU TODAY ARE BEING REQUESTED TO PROVIDE A RECOMMENDATION AS THE VILLAGE COUNCIL, HAVING CONSIDERED STAFF THE PCAB AS THE LPA, ANY THIRD PARTY COMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION THAT ARE HERE TODAY AS MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AND ORGANIZATIONS FROM THE APPLICANT AND THEN FOLLOWING FROM THAT, YOU MAKE A RECOMMENDATION BASED ON ALL OF THAT INFORMATION TONIGHT. AND THEN SO FIRST PUBLIC HEARING IS

[00:25:05]

IT'S NOT CONTIGUOUS. SO IT SATISFIES THAT CRITERIA. IT ALSO IS NOT CREATING AN ENCLAVE.

AN ENCLAVE IS WHEN IT'S SURROUNDED ON ALL FOUR SIDES BY A DIFFERENT MUNICIPALITY. AND IN EFFECT, IT WOULD BE LIKE YOU'RE IN AN ISLAND WITH NO SURROUNDED BY MARTIN COUNTY LAND. IT'S SURROUNDED ON THREE SIDES, BUT THERE IS A BREAK. AND THERE IS ALSO OBVIOUSLY THE ROAD AND THE CANAL IS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION THAT AS WELL. SO WE'VE DEEMED IT. IT'S NOT GOING TO CREATE AN ENCLAVE AND IT'S CONTIGUOUS WITH THE VILLAGE BOUNDARY. SO IT'S ALSO BEEN REVIEWED AGAINST OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS SECTION 12 THREE WHICH IS ANNEXATIONS CONTRACTION AND APPLICATIONS. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO RECOMMENDATION FROM VILLAGE STAFF IS A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL BASED ON THE CRITERIA THAT'S IN THE STATE STATUTES AND THE COMP PLAN. AS I SUMMARIZE HERE, THE AB AS THE LPA MET YESTERDAY. SO YOU'VE GOT A STAFF RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL. AND PCAB MET YESTERDAY AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AS WELL. SO YOU NOW TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THOSE TWO RECOMMENDATIONS. AND WE DO HAVE OTHER STAFF HERE FROM THE PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COLLEAGUES TEAM. AND WE AS COLLECTIVELY HAVE REVIEWED AND THEN AS THE PLANNER, I COORDINATE PROJECT, MANAGE THAT AND GET IT TO THIS POINT, WORKING WITH MY COLLEAGUE LUCIA MENDOZA. SO WE BASICALLY GET IT TO THIS POINT WHERE IT'S READY FOR YOUR DETERMINATION. SO THAT'S THE END OF OUR PRESENTATION AS STAFF. AND WE'VE GOT THE APPLICANTS TEAM HERE WITH THEIR PROFESSIONALS THAT KIND OF MIRROR THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COLLEAGUES. AND AND OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVE THEIR OWN PRESENTATION TO PROVIDE. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND I'M READY TO HAND OVER IF THAT'S OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS JAMIE GENTILE. I'M A SENIOR DIRECTOR WITH FPL DEVELOPMENT. WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU HEARING OUR REQUESTS THIS EVENING. AND WE'RE EXCITED TO TO BE BEFORE YOU, AS SHE DID LAST NIGHT. AND AS YOU JUST HEARD, MISSUS FREEMAN'S PRESENTATION WAS EXTREMELY THOROUGH. AND I DON'T THINK EVEN AS A AS A RECOVERING PLANNING AND ZONING DIRECTOR AS I AM, THAT I COULD DO ANY BETTER THAN THAT. SO WE GIVEN THAT WE'D LIKE TO YIELD OUR PRESENTATION TIME, IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO TO WHAT YOU JUST HEARD FROM MISSUS FREEMAN. WE WE YIELD THAT TIME. WE'D ASK WE WORK HERE TO ANSWER ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS, AND WE'D ASK FOR JUST ANY ADDITIONAL TIME FOR REBUTTAL IN CASE SOMETHING COMES UP THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS. I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES HERE TONIGHT THAT ARE HERE TO ANSWER SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. BRIAN NOLAN WITH LUCIDO ASSOCIATES, BOB RAINES WITH GUNSTER, AND MATT SILVER IS A IS A DIRECTOR WITH OUR FPL DEVELOPMENT TEAM.

BEFORE I MOVE BACK TO MY SEAT AND ALLOW THE REST OF THE PROCESS TO COMMENCE, LAST NIGHT WE HEARD FROM SOME RESIDENTS, AND I WOULD EXPECT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR SIMILAR THIS EVENING. WE WE HEARD THOSE COMMENTS AND WE WE ARE WE GOT AN OPPORTUNITY LAST NIGHT BEFORE WE LEFT TO EXCHANGE SOME BUSINESS CARDS AND AND AND TALK WITH SOME FOLKS AND WE WE ARE GOING TO BE BACK HERE AS, AS MRS. FREEMAN MENTIONED THROUGHOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT PROCESS TO TO COME BACK AND REQUEST A REZONING AS WE GET FURTHER ALONG IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH, WITH THOSE NEIGHBORS. SO I, I WANTED TO GIVE YOU THAT ASSURANCE FROM US, AND, AND I WANTED TO GIVE THAT ASSURANCE TO NEIGHBORS AS WELL. SO WITH THAT, I WILL YIELD MY TIME AND APPRECIATE YOU HEARING

[00:30:07]

AND SO THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY. I'M WRITING IN SUPPORT OF THE ANNEXATION AND TO THE MUNICIPAL BOUNDARIES. INDIAN TOWN IS A COMMUNITY BUILT ON STEWARDSHIP OF LAND, WATER, HISTORY, PEOPLE. AND THOSE VALUES MATTER DEEPLY TO RESIDENTS, AND THEY ARE ESSENTIAL AS THE VILLAGE PLANS FOR THOUGHTFUL, BALANCED GROWTH. OVER MANY DECADES, FPL HAS DEMONSTRATED A CONSISTENT RESPECT FOR THE COMMUNITIES AND NATURAL SYSTEMS IN WHICH IT OPERATES, NOT ONLY IN INDIAN TOWN, BUT THROUGHOUT MARTIN COUNTY AND ALL OF FLORIDA.

COASTAL AREAS AND WATERWAYS ARE DEFINITELY IN THEIR AREAS, AND INDIAN TOWN, A POWERFUL EXAMPLE OF THEIR STEWARDSHIP WAS FPL'S PROTECTION OF THE BARLEY BARBER SWAMP. AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS, IT'S AN EXTREMELY OLD RARE GROWTH BALD CYPRESS SWAMP LOCATED DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE POWER FACILITY OUT OFF OF 710. AND WHEN THAT DEVELOPMENT OCCURRED DECADES AGO, FPL MADE THE DECISION TO PRESERVE THAT THEY WERE NOT TOLD THEY HAD TO. THEY HAD ALREADY MADE THAT CHOICE. AND IT'S OVER 400 ACRES. I'VE LIVED IN FLORIDA MY WHOLE LIFE. I'M GENERATIONAL FLORIDIAN, AND I'VE BEEN IN A LOT OF WOODS IN FLORIDA, AND THE ONLY TIME I'VE EVER SEEN A PANTHER IS ON THEIR PROPERTY. AND I THINK THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES TO THE CONSERVATION EFFORTS THAT THEY PUT IN. SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE MENTION OF THAT. AND BEYOND THERE, THEY HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT CONSERVATION EFFORTS THAT THEY'VE DONE AT TURKEY POINT. THEY'VE MADE NATURAL OR CRITICAL BUFFERS BETWEEN THEIR OPERATIONS AND THE SURROUNDING ECOSYSTEMS. THEY'RE RIGHT THERE ON THE INTRACOASTAL. THEY HAVE A CROCODILE SANCTUARY. I DID NOT KNOW THAT. I FOUND THAT OUT THROUGH MY OWN RESEARCH. AND THEN THEY ALSO HAVE SEVERAL ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION PROJECTS THAT THEY'VE DONE IN RIVIERA AND SHORELINE PROTECTION AND WATER AND QUALITY WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVES. IN ADDITION, THEY'VE ALSO STEWARDED MORE THAN 13,000 ACRES OF WATER RELATED CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT LANDS ASSOCIATED WITH ITS FACILITIES. DO YOU WANT ME TO STOP? BUT I WANTED YOU TO. I ALSO WANT TO QUICKLY MAKE MENTION THAT ALL OF THESE LANDS THAT THEY HAVE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION OF CONSERVING AND PRESERVING ON THEIR OWN, THEY ARE PAYING THAT BILL TO MANAGE, NOT THE TAXPAYERS, NOT THE STATE OF FLORIDA. THAT'S THAT'S ON THEM. THEY'VE CHOSEN TO DO THAT. AND SO WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID, I KNOW THAT THE ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS WERE A HUGE CONCERN, AS THEY WERE FOR ME. BUT LOOKING AT IT FURTHER, I DON'T THINK THAT WE COULD CHOOSE A BETTER NEIGHBOR TO TAKE ON THAT LARGE, VAST LAND.

AND I JUST DON'T THINK THEY'RE GOING TO DEVELOP 5000 ACRES. IT'S GOING TO BE CONSERVATION LAND, MOST OF IT, AND IT'S SURROUNDED BY CONSERVATION LANDS ON BOTH SIDES. SO BASED ON THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE MY RECOMMENDATION FOR THE ANNEXATION. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. MR. BONNIE SELDEN. OKAY. THANK YOU. WELCOME. THANK YOU. OKAY. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR.

[00:35:05]

LAND USE DECISIONS OF THIS MAGNITUDE DESERVE CAREFUL PACING AND PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING, AND SO FOR THESE REASONS FOR PACING, PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING AND TRANSPARENCY, I REQUEST THAT YOU RETURN THIS TO THE ZONING BOARD FOR A FULL AND COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, MISS MR. KEVIN POWERS OKAY. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS KEVIN POWERS, SMALL BUSINESS OWNER HERE IN TOWN AND SOMEONE WHO WAS BORN AND RAISED HERE IN INDIANTOWN. IT'S REALLY GREAT TO LOOK AROUND THE ROOM AND SEE A LOT OF LONG TIME RESIDENTS, BUT ALSO SEE SOME OF THE NEWER RESIDENTS. AND I THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO. IN FACT, SPEAKING OF SOME OF THE RESIDENTS, I'M LOOKING LOOK, LOOKING AT ONE OF THE FAMILY COMPANIES HERE.

THEY'RE THREE GENERATIONS THAT THEIR FAMILY COMPANY HAVE BEEN DOING WORK FOR FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT, AND THEY'RE BASED RIGHT HERE IN INDIANTOWN. AND THINK ABOUT THAT. YOU HAVE THE KIDS AND THE FATHER AND THEIR GRANDFATHER. THEY STILL WITH US. AND A LOT OF WHAT HE'S DONE THAT A LOT OF WHAT WE LEARN ABOUT TOWN, YOU GO TO THOSE FOLKS THAT SAID, WELL, HERE, LET ME TELL YOU HOW IT WAS BACK IN THE DAY. BUT WHAT I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU IS, IS, IS JUST A REAL QUICK EXAMPLE IN MY LIFE. WHAT I SAW, IT'S OFTEN SAID THAT IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE SOMEBODY IS GOING, JUST LOOK AT WHERE THEY'VE BEEN. AND I THINK THAT'S SAYING HOLDS TRUE THIS EVENING WITH FPL NOW FOR ME, I WASN'T AROUND IN TERMS OF ON THE GROUND ACTIVE WHEN I WAS YOUNG, BUT WHAT I WAS WAS THE SON OF THE VOLUNTEER AMBULANCE DRIVER. AND SOME OF YOU HAVE HEARD THIS STORY BEFORE, THE VOLUNTEER AMBULANCE DRIVER AND THE VOLUNTEER EMT, THAT VOLUNTEER GROUP TOOK CARE OF OUR COMMUNITY. AND THAT VOLUNTEER GROUP TYPICALLY OPERATED WITH SECOND HAND EQUIPMENT. YOU KNOW, AMBULANCES. AMBULANCES WERE OFTEN NOT JUST SECOND HAND BUT THIRD HAND AS WELL. BUT THEY HAD ALL THE PASSION AND ALL THE ALL THE TRAINING AND EVERYTHING. IT TOOK FPL, BEING FPL IS, AS A PARTNER, RECOGNIZED THAT THEIR

[00:40:04]

I WAS HERE LAST NIGHT WITH THE THE BOARD MEMBERS AND SOME OF THE PUBLIC, AND WE DID TALK OUT LAST NIGHT, AND I DEFINITELY DIDN'T SPEAK ON THIS TOPIC LAST NIGHT BECAUSE IT REALLY WASN'T SOMETHING THAT WAS IMPORTANT OF ME. BUT WE ARE APPRECIATIVE FOR AN HOUR LATE. I MEAN, WHEN I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS YOUNG, THEY USED TO HAVE THE POWER PLANT OUT ON SOUTHWEST FARM ROAD, AND THEY DID A LOT FOR THIS COMMUNITY. NOW, I THINK THE TOPIC ABOUT THIS NIGHT IS ABOUT ANNEXING AND MAKING IN THE FUTURE, MAKING THIS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. I WOULD HATE TO SEE THIS COMMUNITY BECOME VERY INDUSTRIAL, EVEN IF IT'S LIGHT OR HEAVY. I THINK CONSERVING THE LAND WOULD BE GREAT TO AGRICULTURE. WE'RE GOING TO BE PUSHING AWAY A LOT OF WHAT UNIONTOWN USED TO BE CATTLE, SUGAR CANE, CITRUS, WHICH DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE. BUT WE STILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF IT. SOLID FARMS. WE'RE GOING TO BE PUSHING THOSE OUT. AND WHO IS TO SAY THAT THE NEIGHBORS THAT LIVE NEAR THESE PROPERTIES, WHICH FORM POWER LIGHT WANTS TO BUILD ON, WOULD ONE DAY PUSH THE NEIGHBORS OUT THAT LIVE NEAR THOSE BOUNDARIES AND PUSH THEM OUT AND BUY THEIR PROPERTY. AND THESE THESE PEOPLE LIVED HERE FOR 100 PLUS YEARS, FAMILY NEAR THE PROPERTY. SO I JUST WANT YOU GUYS TO ANALYZE THAT WE ARE I AM APPRECIATIVE FOR OUR POWER. I'M NOT AGAINST THEM. I DO WANT TO SEE THAT LAND BE CONSERVED AS AGRICULTURE. THEY STILL HAVE THE PROPERTY ON SOUTHWEST FARM ROAD. THEY CAN UTILIZE THAT FOR FOR THEIR PROJECT. IT'S IT'S VACANT RIGHT NOW. OVERGROWN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH IT. AND THEN WE CAN POSSIBLY SEE IN THE NEAR FUTURE IF THEY WANT TO MOVE OUT TO WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR RIGHT NOW AND MAKING THAT A LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. BUT I AT THIS POINT, I DO THINK IT'S BEST THAT WE KEEP IT AGRICULTURAL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MR. COMMENTS. GOOD EVENING MAYOR, VICE MAYOR COUNCIL. FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS SUSAN GIBBS THOMAS. ALSO, I'M A RESIDENT OF INDIANTOWN AND I CURRENTLY SIT ON THE PLANNING, ZONING AND APPEALS BOARD. I KIND OF FEEL LIKE THE THE NEIGHBOR, YOU KNOW, AT CHRISTMAS TIME, YOU HAVE THE HOUSE THAT'S JUST ABSOLUTELY LOADED OUT WITH ALL THE BLOW UPS AND ALL THE LIGHTS, AND I'M THE NEIGHBOR THAT HAS THE LITTLE SIGN THAT SAYS DITTO IN THE ARROW, BECAUSE I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT EVERYBODY HAS SAID ON BOTH SIDES OF IT. AND I AND I VOICED THAT LAST NIGHT WHEN THIS CAME BEFORE US. IT'S A HARD THING. CHANGE IS HARD. CHANGE IS VERY HARD. I KNOW PEOPLE SAY, YOU KNOW, INDUSTRIAL. WE DON'T. I KNOW THAT MRS. KRISTA CAN TELL ME IF I'M WRONG. BEFORE WE INCORPORATED, I THINK INDIAN TOWN WAS THE MAJOR LAND FOR THE COUNTY AS FAR AS INDUSTRIAL OR COMMERCIAL. DID THEY COUNT WHAT WE HAD IN THEIR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? YES. YEAH. SO THIS IS NOTHING NEW TO INDIAN TOWN. WE WERE IT FOR MARTIN COUNTY. SO. IN 2017, THE VOTERS IN INDIAN

[00:45:05]

WHEN WE LOST FLORIDA STEEL, MY SISTER HAD TO MOVE TO MISSISSIPPI TO GO TO MISSISSIPPI STEEL, WHERE HER HUSBAND WORKED. WHEN WE LOST THE CITRUS INDUSTRY AND THEN THE JUICE PLANT, MANY OF OUR RESIDENTS HAD NOWHERE TO GO. INDIANTOWN WAS CITRUS BACK IN THE DAY. UNFORTUNATELY, THE COST OF PRESERVING THAT ARE REINITIATING. THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE INDUSTRY TO THRIVE AT THIS DAY AND AGE. WE LOST THE TRUST PLANT. WE LOST THE EGG FARM. SINCE WE'VE INCORPORATED, WE'VE SEEN NEW INDUSTRY COME BACK AND INVEST IN OUR COMMUNITY. BUT AS FAR AS FPNL HAS BEEN WITH US, IT BENEFITS OUR SMALL BUSINESSES AND OUR LARGE BUSINESSES. AND IF YOU HAD LIGHTS ON YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE, IT BENEFITED YOU. FPL THRIVES TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY TAKE CARE OF OUR FAMILIES AND OUR COMMUNITY. THE CONSERVATION OF WILDLIFE. I'M GOING TO TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, I HAVE A SOLAR PLANT IN MY BACKYARD, BUT THE WILDLIFE IS ABUNDANT. IT HAS NOT STOPPED THEM FROM COMING IN AND TEARING UP THE YARD. THE HOGS, THE DEER, YOU KNOW, LITERALLY IN MY BACKYARD. WHEN FPL CAME OUT TO TALK ABOUT THE SOLAR PLANT, THEY CAME AND MET WITH US INDIVIDUALLY. THEN THEY ALLOWED US TO PULL TOGETHER A GROUP OF RESIDENTS WITHIN THE LITTLE RANCH NEIGHBORHOOD AND HAD FULL ON DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WHAT WAS EXPECTED, WHAT TO ANTICIPATE, AND HOW THEY COULD HELP OUR COMMUNITY. THEY DO CARE ABOUT INDIANTOWN. THEY ALWAYS HAVE, AND THEY ALWAYS WILL. THEY SUPPORT OUR LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS. IF YOU HAVE A CHILD IN THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, YMCA, SCHOOL PROGRAMS, THE TEACHERS, THEY'RE THERE FOR EVERYONE. THEY'RE SERVING OUR RESIDENTS IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE. AND I FULLY UNDERSTAND THE LANDOWNERS CONCERNS ABOUT HAVING A NEIGHBOR SUCH AS FPL. BUT I TELL YOU WHAT, THEY'RE ONE OF THE BEST NEIGHBORS YOU'LL EVER HAVE. AND IF YOU TELL THEM WHAT YOUR CONCERN IS, THEY WILL ADDRESS IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU. AND THAT'S IT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM

[00:50:04]

AND WE TRULY APPRECIATE THE MANNER IN WHICH THEY'VE PROVIDED THEIR COMMENTS. IT'S I MENTIONED IT AT THE PNC BOARD. I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 30 YEARS, AND I'VE BEEN IN A LOT OF MEETINGS WHERE IT'S NOT QUITE THIS CIVIL, AND IT'S MUCH APPRECIATED. AND I THOUGHT THE COMMENTS WERE THOUGHTFUL. THE ONE THING I WANTED TO RESPOND TO IS MR. MISS SHELDON'S COMMENTS. I THOUGHT AGAIN, HERS WERE VERY THOUGHTFUL, AND THOSE ARE LEGITIMATE CONCERNS AND POINTS THAT SHE'S MAKING. THE ONLY THING I WANT TO POINT OUT IS FOR THIS PROCESS. THOSE REALLY AREN'T APPROPRIATE. WE CAN WE WILL ADDRESS THOSE AS WE MOVE THROUGH. THIS IS THE FIRST STEP IN THE PROCESS. SO THE CRITERIA IS FOR, YOU KNOW, THE CONTIGUITY, THE ENCLAVE AND AND THOSE ITEMS. AND THE SAME THING WILL BE WITH THE FLUME. SO WE APPRECIATE THOSE COMMENTS. SHE TALKED ABOUT TRANSPARENCY. WE WANT TO BE TRANSPARENT. IT'S JUST THIS ISN'T THE APPROPRIATE HEARING FOR THAT. AND I JUST WANTED TO GET THAT ON THE RECORD. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. EXACTLY. YES. AND I'LL REITERATE THAT THAT WE ARE HERE FOR ANNEXATION AND AND A LAND USE CHANGE, NOT FOR WHAT'S BEING PUT ON IT, NOT FOR PROVEN TRAFFIC PATTERNS OR ANYTHING ELSE. THERE'S TWO QUESTIONS HERE. WELL, THERE'S ONE RIGHT NOW ON THE TABLE, WHICH IS ANNEXATION. SO IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE ANNEXATION, NOBODY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

[00:55:10]

THEY'RE ALL LISTED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND THE REQUEST IS FOR A LIGHT INDUSTRIAL LAND USE DESIGNATION AND CHANGING THE LAND USE FOR MARTIN COUNTY SEPARATE TO THAT.

THAT WILL THEN COME IN AND DO THE REZONING AND THEN SEPARATE TO THAT, THEY'LL COME IN FOR WITH THE REZONING. IF IT'S MASTER SITE PLAN, WITH ALL OF THE PHASES AND A LIST OF USES THAT THEY WILL POTENTIALLY BE USING ON THE PROPERTY. BUT AT THIS STAGE, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS A COLOR ON THE MAP, BECAUSE IT CANNOT STAY WITH THE THREE COLORS ON THE MAP THAT ARE THERE ALREADY BECAUSE THEY'RE WITHIN MARTIN COUNTY'S JURISDICTION. SO IN ORDER FOR US TO BE ABLE TO PLAN AND MANAGE THE DEVELOPMENT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE, IT NEEDS A FUTURE LAND USE. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND IT'S AN APPLICANT REQUEST IS FOR APPROVAL OF WHAT IS A LARGE SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TO CHANGE THE FUTURE LAND USE ON 5,722.30 ACRES OF PROPERTY LOCATED NORTH AND SOUTH OF SOUTHWEST HIGHWAY AND WEST OF SOUTHWEST WARFIELD BOULEVARD, AND IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF THE EXISTING BOUNDARIES OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN. THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. THERE'S THE PROPERTY LOCATION. WE OBVIOUSLY WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THE LOCATION IN RELATION TO SOUTHWEST CORNER, WARFIELD AND FARM ROAD IN THE ANNEXATION REQUEST, BUT THE AREA THAT IS THE REQUEST OF THE CONCURRENT LARGE SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CHANGE THE FUTURE LAND USE IS DEPICTED IN BLUE, AND IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT A VERY DETAILED, COMPREHENSIVE STAFF REPORT WAS INCLUDED IN THE AGENDA PACKET, ALONG WITH THE APPLICANT'S APPLICATION MATERIALS. THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COLLEAGUES DID REVIEW THIS APPLICATION EXTENSIVELY AHEAD OF SCHEDULING THESE PUBLIC THIS PUBLIC HEARING. SO NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. THIS IS THE SAME MAP THAT WAS USED IN THE LAST PRESENTATION. SO WHAT THIS DOES IS OBVIOUSLY JUST SUMMARIZE ALL THE STAFF. AND AS A COMMUNITY WE LOOK AT WHAT'S ALREADY SURROUNDING THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. WHEN LOOKING AT WHAT'S THE MOST APPROPRIATE LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR THE PROPERTY. WHEN LOOKING INTO THAT, WE OBVIOUSLY LOOK AT TO THE NORTH, THERE'S THE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL WITH THE THE COGEN AND THE SILVERFOX AREAS, AND THERE'S ALSO SOME LIGHT INDUSTRIAL LANDS THAT'S ALREADY DESIGNATED LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WITHIN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN, WITH THE THE LIGHT AND THE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL LAND USE DESIGNATION. AND THEN WITH THE CONCURRENT ZONING CHANGE, THE COLORS ON THE MAP DICTATE AND SET THE SCENE FOR AND THE OVERVIEW OF WHAT MAY POTENTIALLY BE DEVELOPED ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. AND, YOU KNOW, AT THIS STAGE, LITERALLY LOOKING AT THE COLORS ON THE MAP, WE WE TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION THOSE LIGHT AND HEAVY INDUSTRIAL LANDS TO THE IMMEDIATE NORTH, THE FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT POWER GENERATION FACILITY TO THE WEST, AND THE VACANT INDUSTRIAL TO THE EAST. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. THIS IS THE PROPERTY LOCATION AS PER THE BOUNDARY SURVEY.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS THE EXISTING MUNICIPAL BOUNDARY. JUST TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE ANNEXATION. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS THE PROPOSED MUNICIPAL BOUNDARY THAT WAS JUST RECOMMENDED APPROVAL FOR FIRST PUBLIC HEARING BY VILLAGE COUNCIL TO EXTEND THE LINE TO ENCOMPASS THE FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT PROPOSED VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION LANDS. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO THE LARGE SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TO CHANGE THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, THE MARTIN COUNTY EXISTING FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS INCLUDE. AGRICULTURAL. THEY INCLUDE INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS CONSERVATION FOR THOSE. SOME OF THAT PUBLIC PARKS AND CONSERVATION LAND OWNED BY SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. SORRY OWNED BY FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT, BUT WITH AN EASEMENT FOR SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT AND ALSO PUBLIC UTILITIES. MAJOR POWER GENERATION FACILITIES ALONG A SLIVER OF THE PROPERTY FOR FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT.

EXISTING OPERATIONS. THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF LAND USE IS TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. NEXT SLIDE

[01:00:02]

BECAUSE THERE ARE STATE STATUTES AND THERE ARE CODES AND POLICIES GOVERNING ANY REQUESTS FOR A LARGE SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, ALL SMALL SCALE IN THAT RESPECT HAS TO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA. AND STAFF HAVE REVIEWED THAT AS DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COLLEAGUES.

SO WE'VE WE DEALT WITH AN INTAKE. WE REVIEWED HIS DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COLLEAGUES.

AND THEN WE WORK WITHIN THE CODE AND THE STATE STATUTES TO PROVIDE THE CORRECTLY ADVERTISED NOTICED SIGNS ON SITE AND ALSO MAIL OUTS AND THEN THE NEWSPAPER ADVERTISEMENTS AS PER STATE STATUTES. WE HAD THE PLANNING ZONING APPEALS PUBLIC HEARING YESTERDAY AS THE LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY, AND THIS IS THE FIRST OF TWO MORE PUBLIC HEARINGS.

THE DIFFERENCE BEING THAT THERE ARE THERE IS A REQUIREMENT AFTER THIS HEARING, A 30 DAY CONSULTATION PROCESS, WE STAFF WILL NEED TO TRANSMIT THIS INFORMATION, THE APPLICATION MATERIALS, STAFF REPORTS AND THE FINDINGS FROM TONIGHT AND LAST NIGHT'S PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR A 30 DAY CONSULTATION PER STATE STATUTE, STATES. DEPARTMENT OF FLORIDA, DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT, THE TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL, MARTIN COUNTY AND OTHER ENTITIES. THERE'S THERE'S QUITE A LONG LIST AND WE'RE REQUIRED TO DO THAT. AND THEN WE WAIT FOR 30 DAYS IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE RESPONSES TO ANY OF THOSE CONSULTATIONS.

AND THAT WILL THEN BE INCLUDED IN ANY SUBSEQUENT UPDATED STAFF REPORT WITH FINDINGS AND INFORMATION, AND ANY RECOMMENDATIONS AND RESPONSES WILL BE INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET.

AND THAT'S THAT WILL BE HAPPENING BEFORE THE SCHEDULING OF THE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOLLOWING THAT 30 DAY CONSULTATION. SO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ANNEXATION AND THIS IS THAT THERE IS A 30 DAY REQUIREMENT AFTER THIS FOR THE LAND USE AMENDMENT. SO JUST TO LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THE PROCESS, NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO THE APPROVAL CRITERIA THIS IS A COLOR ON A MAP ANALYSIS. THIS IS NOT ABOUT FROM A TRANSPORTATION TRAFFIC POINT OF VIEW. AND THEY HAVE THEIR TRAFFIC CONSULTANT HERE I BELIEVE. AND WE HAVE OUR TRAFFIC REVIEWS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. WE'RE LOOKING AT THE OVERALL THRESHOLDS AND THE MAXIMUM THRESHOLDS FOR DEVELOPMENT. JUST FROM AN OVERVIEW UMBRELLA APPROACH.

WHEN YOU COME DOWN TO GET INTO THE REZONING AND THE ZONING AGREEMENT, THE MASTER PLAN, THERE WILL BE MORE DETAILS ON THE TRAFFIC BASED ON THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM THRESHOLDS ESTABLISHED AS PART OF THE MASTER PLAN, THE THE PHASING PLAN AND THE THE TIMETABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT. SO AT THIS POINT, WHAT WE LOOK AT IS JUST PER THE STATE STATUTE, WHICH IS FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 163.3184. AND WE ALSO LOOK AT OUR CODE VILLAGE CODE SECTION 12 FOUR AS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TEXT AND MAP AMENDMENT SUBSECTION FOUR. WE FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES AND THE CRITERIA IN THE STATE STATUTES AND ANY OF THE OTHER CONVERSATIONS AROUND LANDSCAPE PLANS, TRAFFIC, CIRCULATION, PROTECTING THE SURROUNDING AREAS COMES IN AT THAT STAGE, AT THE LATEST STAGE IN THE ZONING AND THE SITE PLANNING. SO THAT'S A SUMMARY OF THE APPROVAL CRITERIA. THERE WAS A VERY EXTENSIVE ALL THE CRITERIA WAS PROVIDED IN THE STAFF REPORT. WE DIDN'T WANT TO PUT 50 SLIDES TOGETHER TO SHOW YOU THAT AS WELL. SO THAT WAS ALL AVAILABLE ONLINE AND AS PART OF THIS PUBLISHED AGENDA. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT'S BEEN PROVIDED AND BASED ON STATE STATUTES FOR APPROVAL FOR APPLICATION NUMBER CPA 25 002 AS A LARGE SCALE COMPREHENSIVE

[01:05:06]

SO THAT'S THE END OF MY PRESENTATION. AT THIS POINT, WE ALSO HAVE WE INVITE THE APPLICANT TEAM AGAIN TO COME UP. AND OBVIOUSLY IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF OR THE APPLICANTS TEAM, WE'RE BOTH ALL AVAILABLE TO TAKE THOSE COMMENTS. THANK YOU. I JUST HAVE A COMMENT. YES, I AM SO PROUD OF OUR STAFF HERE.

MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS, AS BEFORE, I AND YOUR COMMENTS ARE ARE VERY WARRANTED. MRS.

ANY OPPOSED? PASS UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. I'D LIKE TO SAY I HAVE A COMMENT. YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN IN THIS TOWN FOR 34 YEARS. PUBLIC SERVICE. AND MANY A TIMES I WAS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT. SO WE DID A LOT OF TRAINING UP AT THE POWER PLANT. YOU KNOW, WE WERE ALWAYS TREATED REALLY, REALLY WELL ALONG WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

AND THEY WERE GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO LET SWAT GO IN THERE AND DO THEIR TRAINING IN THERE. AND THROUGH THE YEARS, WHENEVER WE NEEDED SOMETHING, BECAUSE I'VE, I'M NOT AFRAID TO ASK FOR MONEY.

AND I'VE BEEN THERE AND AND YOU KNOW WHAT? FPL NEVER TURNED US DOWN. SO I WANT TO THANK YOU.

[3B) APPLICATION NO. SP-25-016 - RESOLUTION NO. 001-2026 - A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN, FLORIDA, APPROVING APPLICATION NO. SP-25-016 FOR THE MAJOR SITE PLAN FOR AN APPROXIMATELY 10.87-ACRE +/-  RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT COMPRISING 71 SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS, LOCATED ON TWO PARCELS AT 16986 SW CHARLESTON STREET AND 16991 SW FARM ROAD, INDIANTOWN; AND PROVIDING FOR FINDINGS, CONDITIONS, REMEDIES, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.]

[01:10:06]

YES, SIR. THE ITEM HAS BEEN ADVERTISED. THE PROOF AND THE AFFIDAVIT OF ADVERTISING IS IN THE BACKUP. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AT THIS TIME, DOES ANY MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL HAVE A VOTING CONFLICT TO DISCLOSE CONCERNING THIS APPLICATION? SEEING NONE, I WILL MOVE ON. DOES ANY MEMBER HAVE A ANY EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS TO SHARE TO DISCLOSE AT THIS TIME? EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC? ARE ANY SUBSTANTIAL COMMUNICATIONS THE COUNCIL MAY HAVE HAD WITH THE DEVELOPER OR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, OR A RECENT SITE VISIT, OR ANYTHING LIKE THIS? THOSE ARE PERFECTLY PERMISSIBLE UNDER FLORIDA LAW. THEY JUST HAVE TO DISCLOSE THOSE EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS. I DO UNDERSTAND THAT A NUMBER OF MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL HAVE, OF COURSE, SPOKEN WITH STAFF CONCERNING THIS MATTER AND ASK A COUPLE QUESTIONS, AS IS TYPICAL. BEYOND THAT, ARE THERE ANY OTHER EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS TO SHARE? ALL RIGHT. VERY BRIEFLY, BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO DINA, I DID WANT TO JUST REITERATE SOMETHING I JUST MENTIONED, BECAUSE I'VE GOTTEN THIS QUESTION A LOT CONCERNING THIS ITEM. IN PARTICULAR, THE QUESTION WAS GENERALLY, WHAT IS THE COUNCIL'S JOB WITH REGARD TO THIS ITEM? AN APPLICATION FOR A SITE PLAN APPROVAL? DEAN IS GOING TO GET INTO MUCH MORE DETAIL ON THAT AND GIVE YOU ALL ALL THE BITS AND BOBS AND ALL THIS, BUT THE GENERAL THING I WANT YOU TO KEEP IN MIND, WHILE A LOT OF THE THINGS THE COUNCIL DOES ARE WHAT WE CALL LEGISLATIVE, YOU'RE MAKING POLICY, YOU'RE CHANGING YOUR LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, AND YOU'RE MAKING THOSE DECISIONS SIMPLY BASED ON WHAT YOU THINK IS THE RIGHT PATH FOR THE VILLAGE AND SO ON. THIS IS WHAT WE CALL A QUASI JUDICIAL MATTER. QUASI JUDICIAL MATTERS ARE MATTERS WHERE YOU HAVE TO BE QUASI LIKE A JUDGE. ALL RIGHT. WHAT YOU'RE BEING ASKED IS TO EVALUATE, IN THIS INSTANCE, THIS PROJECT AND DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THIS PROJECT MEETS ALL THE CRITERIA THAT ARE IN OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. YOU'RE GOING TO BE HEARING FROM STAFF THAT STAFF HAS FOUND THAT THIS PROJECT DOES, BUT ULTIMATELY, YOUR JOB IS FOCUSING ON WHETHER OR NOT THIS PROJECT MEETS ALL OF THE CRITERIA AND REQUIREMENTS IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. AND IF IT DOES, THEN THE THE PLAN OR SCHEME OF FLORIDA LAW AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS IS THAT WOULD SUPPORT AND APPROVAL. SO WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT OVER TO DAVID. THANK YOU. DEENA FREEMAN WITH THE COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AND PLANNER ON THE PROJECT. SO THIS IS THE HERITAGE PARK MAJOR SITE PLAN APPLICATION. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND THE MAJOR SITE PLAN JUST TO

[01:15:09]

SO THERE'S THE JUST TO DEFINE URBAN RESIDENTIAL OFFICES, THE LAND USE ON THE PROPERTY. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS A NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE ZONING DISTRICT. SO WHEN STAFF, THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COLLEAGUES ARE LOOKING AT WHAT WHAT CAN THE APPLICANT DO. AND WHEN THE APPLICANT IS DESIGNING THEIR SITE PLAN, THEY HAVE TO LOOK AT NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE AND THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS INCLUDE THE MINIMUM LOT SIZES. THEY INCLUDE THE OVERALL DENSITY. IN THIS CASE, THE DENSITY IS 6.5 DWELLING UNITS WHERE IT COULD BE 15. SO IT'S LESS THAN HALF OF THE AMOUNT OF UNITS THAT COULD BE AFFORDED ON THIS PROPERTY BY BY ABSOLUTE RIGHT WITH STRAIGHT ZONING. SO PROVIDING THEY CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE TO THE CODE THEY COULD PROVIDE AS THE LIST OF PERMITTED USES, THEY COULD HAVE AN APARTMENT BUILDING OR MULTIPLE APARTMENT BUILDINGS. THEY COULD BE PROPOSING TOWNHOMES, THEY COULD BE PROPOSING DUPLEXES. AND THE DISTINCTION WITH THAT IS WITH A

[01:20:02]

AND BUT THEY'RE PROPOSING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND BLESS YOU. YEAH. AND THEY THEY'VE HAD TO DEMONSTRATE WITH THE ALL THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS THAT ARE APPLICABLE TO A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. THEY'VE HAD TO PROVIDE THE PARKING, THEY HAD TO PROVIDE LANDSCAPING, THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE AND DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY CAN MAKE THIS WORK IN TERMS OF INFRASTRUCTURE TO SERVE THE PROJECT, WATER AND SEWER AND ANY ENVIRONMENTAL. WE HAD AN ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS DONE AS WELL. IT'S CLEARED, BUT WE STILL HAD THAT DONE AND THEY STILL WERE MADE AWARE OF THE REQUIREMENTS AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE LANDSCAPE PLAN AS WELL, THAT WAS REVIEWED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT MET AT LEAST THE MINIMUM STANDARDS. AND THEY WILL THEY WILL GET INTO MORE DETAIL AS THE APPLICANT AGENT ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE PROVIDING IN TERMS OF LANDSCAPING, BECAUSE WHAT'S THERE IS PRETTY MUCH NOTHING. SO WHATEVER THEY DO WITH THIS PROPERTY, AT THE VERY LEAST THEY'RE GOING TO BE ADDING NOT ONLY THE 71 LOTS, BUT A SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE IN TERMS OF LANDSCAPING WITHIN THE AREA. THEY'RE ALSO LOOKING AND HAD TO LOOK AT CONNECTIVITY. YOU CAN DO THE NEXT SLIDE. THIS IS A SITE PLAN. IT'S HARD TO FIT THIS ON. WE COULD DO WITH A REALLY BIG SCREEN. BUT THIS IS THE SITE PLAN AND WHAT STAFF HAVE TO REVIEW. THEY ALSO HAVE TO REVIEW CIVIL PLANS AND TRAFFIC REPORTS AND STORMWATER REPORTS, BOUNDARY SURVEYS, LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS, WARRANTY DEEDS, LANDSCAPE PLANS AND ANY SUPPORTING INFORMATION TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT THEY CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODES. AND THAT WAS ALL PROVIDED, AND IT WAS ALL REVIEWED AND BACK AND FORTH, UNTIL THE POINT WHERE THEY SATISFIED AND DEMONSTRATED COMPLIANCE WITH ALL THE APPLICABLE CODES ON THIS PROPOSED MAJOR SITE PLAN. WE HAVE A TYPICAL LOT LAYOUT. WE ALSO HAVE SITE AT SETBACK STANDARDS ARE REQUIRED TO BE PUT ON THERE. THEY'VE MET MORE THAN THE MINIMUMS ON SETBACK STANDARDS. THEY WILL TALK TO PARKING, BUT THE MINIMUM PARKING PROVISION IS TWO PER LOT. AND THAT'S A REQUIREMENT OF THE CURRENT LAND DEVELOPMENT CODES. AND IT'S VERY TYPICAL OF MOST MUNICIPALITIES THAT I'VE WORKED IN AND ACROSS FLORIDA.

IT'S IT'S TYPICALLY A MINIMUM STANDARD FOR RESIDENTIAL. SO THIS IS THE WHAT YOU KNOW, THE ZOOMED IN VERSION. THIS IS THE SITE PLAN THAT WE'VE HAD TO REVIEW AND ALL THE SUPPORTING INFORMATION. IT WAS INCLUDED IN THE PACKET AS WELL. THE APPLICATION MATERIALS THAT WERE REVIEWED AND THE MEMOS AND SUMMARIES OF STAFF REPORT OF THE FINDINGS, JUST TO PUT INTO CONTEXT AND COME INTO OUR WORLD OF WHAT WE DO BEFORE WE EVEN GET TO THIS POINT. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO WHAT WE ALSO DID, AND I THINK THAT THE APPLICANTS AGENT MAY CORRECT ME BECAUSE I LEFT A COUPLE OF SLIDES IN THAT MIGHT NOT BE APPLICABLE, BUT I WASN'T SURE. BUT WHAT I WANT TO MAKE REALLY CLEAR FROM A STAFF PERSPECTIVE IS A VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN STAFF. WE CANNOT MANDATE ON A SINGLE FAMILY HOME OR A DUPLEX. THE ARCHITECTURE. THERE IS A STATE STATUTE THAT BASICALLY REQUIRES THAT WE ARE NOT ABLE TO SAY, OH, YOU SHOULD DO THIS, THAT OR THE OTHER. BUT FOR THE PURPOSES VISUALIZING, BECAUSE ALL YOU'VE GOT IS LOTS THAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS AND IT'S 71 LOTS. WHAT WE WANTED YOU TO SEE IS THE PRODUCTS THAT D.R. HORTON ARE LOOKING TO POTENTIALLY PUT ON THE PROPERTY. THAT WILL COME IN AS THE NEXT STAGE IF THIS SITE PLAN IS APPROVED FOR THE INDIVIDUAL BUILDING PERMITS. AND A SIDE NOTE AND YOU'LL GET WE'LL GET A COUPLE MORE PRODUCTS. THEY HAVE A CONCURRENT AND SEPARATE PLAT APPLICATION IN TO CREATE A LEGAL SUBDIVISION, WHICH WILL INCLUDE THE HOA HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION DOCUMENTS, AND IT WILL DEPICT ALL OF THE METES AND BOUNDS FOR INDIVIDUAL LOTS, THE ACCESS, THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE COMMON SHARED FACILITIES INCLUDING THE MAIL, KIOSK, SIDEWALKS, ROADS, ETC.

SO NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. THIS IS THE GREENBRIAR AND THIS. WHAT THEY'VE DONE IS THEY PROVIDED THESE JUST TO SAY THESE ARE THE TYPES OF PRODUCTS WE'RE POTENTIALLY GOING TO BE PUTTING ON THE SITE. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF THE MODELS THAT WAS PROVIDED. AND SOME OF THESE WERE PROVIDED AT THE START OF THE PROCESS. AND A COUPLE WERE PROVIDED LIKE YESTERDAY. AND THEN WHAT I DID HERE IS AS A PLANNER, AND WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE TOOLKIT THAT I HAVE AND THAT YOU APPLICANT AGENT HAS AND AS A COMMUNITY HAVE IS YOU HAVE YOUR LAND USE AND ZONING MAP. THIS IS THE ZONING MAP THAT SHOWS IN THE ORANGE THE EXTENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, MIXED USE, JUST JUST IN THIS PART OF INDIAN TOWN WITH IT BEING BOOKER PARK.

SO YOU SEE THE TEN ACRES THAT'S VACANT, AND THEN YOU SEE THE PATTERN OF LOTS AND DEVELOPMENT THAT'S EVOLVED OVER TIME WITHIN INDIAN TOWN AND WITHIN BOOKER PARK. AND WHEN THE VILLAGE INCORPORATED AND WHEN THEY CREATED THE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS AND THE ZONING DISTRICT MAPS, THAT WAS ALL A PUBLIC PUBLIC HEARINGS, A SERIES OF PUBLIC HEARINGS AHEAD

[01:25:02]

JUST TO AGAIN SHOW YOU SOME OF THOSE LOTS IN RELATION TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO THE APPROVAL CRITERIA, SECTION 12 EIGHT MAJOR SITE PLAN LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS IS PART OF THE OVERALL LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AND WHAT STAFF IS REQUIRED TO LOOK AT. AND IT WAS WHAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE STAFF REPORT AS A SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS AND THE ANALYSIS. IT HAS BEEN DEEMED TO BE CONSISTENT WITH AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH THAT CRITERIA. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO THE MAJOR SITE PLAN APPLICATION HAS BEEN CORRECTLY ADVERTISED AS OUR VILLAGE CLERK CONFIRMED AND NOTICED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE VILLAGE CODE PROVISIONS, THE PROPOSAL SATISFIES THE CRITERIA INCLUDED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 EIGHT MAJOR SITE PLAN, AND THE VILLAGE STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION. SP 25 ZERO 16 THE HERITAGE PARK MAJOR SITE PLAN. THE PCAB MET YESTERDAY, LAST EVENING AND RECOMMENDATION APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THAT'S THE END OF STAFF PRESENTATION. AS WE SAID, WE DID PROVIDE A DETAILED PACKET OF INFORMATION. WE DO HAVE THE APPLICANT TEAM HERE. THEY DID PROVIDE A DETAILED PRESENTATION LAST NIGHT AND ADDED SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT MAY BE A VALUABLE VALUE TO THE VILLAGE COUNCIL. SO I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. AND IF THERE'S ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, I'M HERE. OKAY. AND THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC. ARE YOU GOING TO YOU'RE GOING TO COME UP AND SPEAK. NO. ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? YES, SIR. MISS LINDA NICHOLS. FOR THE RECORD, LINDA NICKUM, I'VE COME OUT OF RETIREMENT. JUST TO GIVE YOU MY $0.02 ON THIS, THIS VOTE THAT YOU'RE PREPARING FOR. I PERSONALLY DO NOT FEEL THAT THIS PLAN FOR 71 HOMES IN BARKER PARK IS GOOD FOR EITHER INDIAN TOWN OR FOR BOOKER PARK. THEY SEEM MUCH TOO CRAMMED TOGETHER. I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S BEEN ENOUGH CONSIDERATION TO PARKING AND AND AREAS FOR CHILDREN TO SAFELY NAVIGATE BOTH THE THE STREETS, GETTING TWO PARKS OVER FENCES OR WHATEVER. I BELIEVE THAT THE THE NONPROFIT INDIAN TOWN NONPROFIT CAN DO A BETTER JOB SINCE THEY STILL OWN THE PROPERTY. AND I ASK THAT THAT YOU TAKE A STEP BACK AND TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THE POSSIBILITIES FOR THAT AREA AND AND WORK ON A BETTER PLAN FOR THE RESIDENTS OF OF BOOKER PARK. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MISS PRITCHARD. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND VILLAGE COUNCIL. MY NAME IS KIRSTEN PRITCHARD. MY FAMILY HAS BEEN IN INDIAN TOWN FOR OVER 30 YEARS, AND I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT MY INDIAN TOWN COMMUNITY. I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY PERSPECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT. I WAS HERE LAST NIGHT TO LEARN ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL, SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND FRIENDS OF MINE THAT LIVE IN THE VILLAGE THAT COULD NOT BE HERE TONIGHT. WE DO NOT FEEL THIS IS A POSITIVE FIT FOR INDIAN TOWN. THE FIRST MAJOR CONCERN IS SAFETY. WITH DRIVEWAYS BEING CONNECTED WITH MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR BOULEVARD, CARS WILL BE BACKING IN AND OUT ON THAT BUSY STREET, POSING A HAZARD FOR TRAVELING MOTORISTS AND HOMEOWNERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. SECONDLY, I'VE DISSATISFACTION TOWARDS THE PROPOSED HOMES TO BE BUILT. I KNOW IT WAS SAID YES. THEY HAD PERMISSION FOR 151 UNITS, BUT WHEN I WAS HERE LAST NIGHT, THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE WATER SUPPLY ISSUE AND THEY

[01:30:03]

THAT'S STORAGE. I MEAN, WE ALL GOT STUFF AND CREATE TRAFFIC HAVOC. THERE'S NO RECREATIONAL RECREATIONAL SPACE FOR THE CHILDREN TO RUN AND PLAY SAFELY. WHERE DO YOU WANT THEM PLAYING IN THE STREET. I'M SORRY. IN THE FUTURE, OR WITH ALL THE GROWTH PROPOSED IN INDIAN TOWN, WILL THERE EVER BE A NEED FOR MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR BOULEVARD TO BE WIDENED? THEN WHAT? YOU GOT HOMES RIGHT THERE. AND YES, I'M AWARE THERE'S HOMES ON CURRENTLY ON THE BOULEVARD, BUT IT'S JUST MORE TO THE FIRE. I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU TO CONSIDER ALL THESE IMPLICATIONS AND DENY OR REQUEST REVISION OF THIS APPLICATION. AFTER HEARING WHAT THE VILLAGE ATTORNEY SAID AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PRESENTATION, IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS DECISION IS ALREADY MADE. WHAT I HAVE LEARNED TONIGHT IS THAT THE INDIAN TOWN ELDERS NEED SERIOUS REVIEW. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IF THE BUILDER COULD SET ASIDE A QUARTER ACRE, AT LEAST FOR A PLAYGROUND FOR THE KIDS, OR ADDITIONAL PARKING FOR GUESTS TO MAKE IT FEEL LIKE A REAL COMMUNITY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, THANK YOU SHELDON. I THINK I. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND HEARING FROM ME AGAIN. I UNDERSTAND THAT IN THE LAST PRESENTATION, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT SIMPLY THE ANNEXING, AND NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT, WHICH HAS LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS. AND I'M GOING TO JUST THROW OUT MY NOTES, BECAUSE WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT PREVIOUSLY WAS TRANSPARENCY WAS HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON? AND THE VILLAGE REPRESENTATIVE VERY CLEARLY SHOWED THAT THE PLANS AS LAID OUT WERE WITHIN THE CODE AS IT EXISTS NOW. I HAVE A BUSINESS. I ASK MY TECH SUPPORTER TO DO A DEEP SEARCH ON WHAT WAS AVAILABLE ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES ON THE I HAVE, I DO HAVE MY NOTES HERE ON THE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY, ON EMERGENCY ACCESS AND USING AI WAS NOT ABLE TO ACHIEVE ANY INFORMATION AND AS THE VILLAGE REPRESENTATIVE DISCUSSED THIS PROCESS, SHE TALKED ABOUT HOW THE DEVELOPER WOULD WORK WITH THE VILLAGE STAFF, AND THE STAFF WOULD WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER, AND THEY WOULD GO BACK AND FORTH TO MAKE SURE IT COMPLIED WITH THE CODE. AND THEN IT WOULD COME BEFORE THE ZONING COMMITTEE, AND THAT WAS THE END OF IT. AND WE HAVE AS A PUBLIC, I CAME BEFORE YOU SOME MONTHS AGO AND TALKED ABOUT INVOLVING THE PUBLIC MORE FULLY. AND WE AS A PUBLIC CAN'T MAKE EDUCATED DECISIONS IF WE DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO REALLY EVALUATE WHETHER OR NOT THESE ENVIRONMENTAL MY HEARING, WHETHER WE HAVE ACCESS TO ABLE TO ASSESS WHETHER OR NOT THESE STUDIES HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN CONDUCTED, WHETHER THEY'VE BEEN CONDUCTED WELL AS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN IN THE PAST. I HAD THAT EXPERIENCE WHERE WE HAD TO HIRE OUR OWN ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION FOR THE PROPOSED 16 PUMP GAS STATION. THAT HAS NOT YET COME TO FRUITION, BUT WE ARE NOT ABLE TO ACCESS THIS INFORMATION EASILY AND MUCH LESS AT ALL. SO I WOULD ASK YOU, AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMUNITY SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE THESE KIND OF DISCUSSIONS WHERE, WELL, WHERE IS THE PARKING AND DOES IT REALLY FIT AND IS IT TOO CROWDED AND WHERE ARE PEOPLE GOING TO GO? AND IS IT SAFE TO CROSS CANTOR, WHICH OF COURSE IT'S NOT. WHERE ARE THE STUDIES THAT SHOW THIS? HOW CAN WE EXAMINE THEM? HOW CAN WE CHALLENGE THEM SO WE CAN HAVE FRUITFUL AND POSITIVE CONVERSATIONS AMONGST US ALL? AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE AND YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. PARKER. HELLO, MAYOR. VICE MAYOR, EVERYBODY. THANK YOU. I WANT TO VOICE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE 71 UNITS OR 150 UNITS, OR HOW MANY OTHER UNITS IN BOOKER PARK. I AM A LIFELONG LOCAL OF INDIAN TOWN, AND I DO NOT THINK THAT IT IS A WISE DECISION TO PUT 150 UNITS. 71 UNITS. YES, CHANGE IS GOOD AND I AM FOR DIVERSITY. I'M FOR CHANGE. CHANGE IS GOOD. BUT I THINK THAT WE REALLY SHOULD

[01:35:01]

LET'S REVIVE, LET'S LET'S REVIEW THIS A LITTLE MORE, BECAUSE I JUST DON'T THINK THAT D.R. HORTON IS A GOOD FIT FOR THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN, WITH ALL OF THE ALL OF THE STUFF THAT THEY HAVE GOING ON, ALL OF THE LAWSUITS AND ALL OF THAT, IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT. AND 71 HOMES, I DON'T THINK THAT BOOKER PARK CAN ABSORB 71 UNITS. I JUST DON'T THINK THAT'S NOT A GOOD FIT FOR THE LOCALS. I DIGRESS. HAVE A GREAT DAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, MR. MARGARITO. GOOD EVENING AGAIN. SO I'VE BEEN LIVING IN BROOKLYN PARK FOR 25 YEARS. I AM AGAINST THIS PROJECT SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS LAND IS UP FOR SALE, OR IT CAN BE BOUGHT BY THE VILLAGE AT ONE POINT. WE ARE GROWING. WE'RE GROWING SUPER FAST AND THIS IS WHAT WE WERE NOT EXPECTING. WE HAVE TO SLOW DOWN A LITTLE BIT. WE STILL HAVE A LOGO THAT'S NOT SOLD COMPLETELY.

YOU'RE STILL MANY, MANY LOTS TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON. WE HAVE TO WAIT THAT WE HAVE SIMILAR CROSSING IN BROOKLYN PARK. ALL THOSE HOMES ARE NOT SOLD YET. WE GOT TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MUCH HOMES BEING BUILT IN INDIAN TOWN. WHAT I DO WOULD LOVE TO SEE WHAT THIS PROPERTY IS, TO BE CONVERTED INTO A PARK WHERE ANYONE CAN BUY IT AND BE MADE INTO A PARK. THE REASON WHY IS THAT WE'RE GROWING. WE ALREADY HAVE NEW APARTMENT COMPLEXES AND BOOKER PARK. WE HAVE SEMINOLE CROSSING THAT'S ALREADY MORE PEOPLE IN BOOKER PARK. UNFORTUNATELY, WE DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO SUPPLY IF THEY HAVE FAMILIES AND BOOKER PART. WE DON'T HAVE IT. PARKS IS NEEDED. WHAT WAS I GOING TO GET TO THIS? SO PARKS IS NEEDED FOR SURE. BUT WE CAN'T GO INTO TEROLDEGO PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN BOOKER PARK, PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN INDIAN TOWN, THAT LIVE WHAT'S KNOWN AS UPTOWN. WE CAN'T GO INTO TO TEROLDEGO AND USE THEIR PROPERTY. IF THEY WERE TO BUILD PARKS, WE CAN'T SEND THOSE KIDS OVER THERE. IT'S AN HOA, SO WE HAVE TO REALIZE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THAT'S A REALLY BIG SIZE LOT. AND WE PUT ON IF YOU SAW ON THE MAP THAT'S BASICALLY TWO SOCCER FIELDS IN THERE THAT WE CAN UTILIZE IN THE FUTURE. MARTIN LUTHER KING IS A MAJOR ROAD RIGHT NOW. IT'S A VERY BIG ROAD. IF YOU DRIVE ON IT. IT USED TO BE LESS CROWDED, BUT TODAY IT'S VERY, VERY CROWDED. I JUST DROVE THROUGH IT TODAY TO GET TO THIS MEETING AND THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WALKING NOW. WE BUILD THOSE HOMES THERE. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE REVERSED. REVERSING INTO MARTIN LUTHER KING. AND SPEEDING. THERE IS A FACTOR BECAUSE WE'RE WE'RE A WORKING CLASS. WE HAVE TO GO FROM POINT A TO POINT B REAL QUICK. SO SOMETHING IS LIKELY TO OCCUR. SO AT THIS POINT I DO REALLY I

[01:40:03]

CONSERVING SOMETHING FOR INDIANTOWN. WE ALREADY JUST GOT BIGGER. WE JUST GOT BIGGER WITH ANNEXING MORE, MORE LAND. BUT WE HAVE TO SLOW DOWN. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. MISS GLORIA. FOR THE RECORD, I'M GLORIA ARIAS JENNINGS, AND I WAS RAISED IN UNIONTOWN SINCE THE AGE OF ABOUT EIGHT, I THINK, AND WENT TO SCHOOL HERE, MARTIN COUNTY AND ALL THAT STUFF. BUT I REALLY, REALLY SINCERELY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING THAT YOU WANT TO DO. I WOULD LIKE TO DO NUMBER ONE, THE STREETS COMING ACROSS THE FIRST RAILROAD TRACK. I HAD MY CAR LINED BY ABOUT A YEAR AGO, ABOUT ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS AGO. AND NOW THEY TELL ME I NEED A LINE AGAIN FROM THE RAGGEDY, RAGGEDY RAILROAD TRACKS AND THE STREETS AND THAT STREET THAT'S GOING DOWN. ONCE YOU PASS. WHAT'S THE NAME OF IT? CHARLESTON. IT'S IT'S TERRIBLE RAGGEDY. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN, WE CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE ANY MORE BUILDERS. THERE'S TOO MUCH TRAFFIC. IT'S NOT SAFE. I CAME BEFORE THIS BOARD A LONG TIME AGO AND TOLD Y'ALL ABOUT THEM. TRUCKS, BIG TRUCKS COMING DOWN MARTIN LUTHER KING DRIVE. I LIVE THAT SECOND HOUSE ACROSS THAT TRACK, AND I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. IT'S JUST TOO MUCH RIGHT NOW. IT'S TOO MUCH TRAFFIC. AND I DON'T FEEL THAT THIS IS A GOOD IDEA, A GOOD SUGGESTION, A GOOD NOTHING SOLID. IT'S TERRIBLE. WE DON'T NEED THAT. WE REALLY DON'T. GOD BLESS YOU, AND I HOPE YOU ALL CONSIDER WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY TO YOU. GOOD NIGHT. THANK YOU. ANY MORE KIMBERLY JACKSON BROWN? MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, COUNCIL. I'M KIMBERLY JACKSON BROWN, LIFELONG RESIDENT OF BOOKER PARK. AND I AM AGAINST THIS. NOT SO MUCH. THIS IS THIS DIDN'T CATCH ME BY SURPRISE BECAUSE I THINK IT WAS LIKE 30 SOMETHING YEARS AGO. THERE WAS A MEETING AND THERE WAS A BLUEPRINT DRAWN UP, AND THEY HAD A MEDIAN DOWN FIFTH STREET. REMEMBER, THEY HAD THAT MEDIAN THERE, AND THEY HAD THE PRETTY TREES AND EVERYTHING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. AND, YOU KNOW, WE WERE LIKE, WELL, WHERE ARE WE GOING? BECAUSE I GREW UP ON FIFTH STREET. IT WAS TWO ROUTE ONE WHEN I GREW UP. SO IT WAS PRETTY, IT LOOKED GOOD. BUT 71 HOUSES IN WHERE, WHERE. YEAH, I KNOW, TRAILER VILLE, BUT WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? BECAUSE I LIVE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THERE. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? YOU'RE I THINK THEY SAID THE CHICKEN BEFORE THE EGG OR THE EGG BEFORE THE CHICKEN SOMETHING OR THE OTHER. BUT ANYWAY, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIX THE ROADS. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO STOP ALL THIS TRAFFIC COMING THROUGH THERE. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DEAL WITH EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH. BEFORE YOU TALK ABOUT PUTTING THESE HOMES HERE. AND WE HAVE OUR CHILDREN THERE, I HAVE TEN GRANDCHILDREN. WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO GO? THEY PLAY IN THE STREET WHERE I LIVE AT RIGHT NOW. BUT I WOULDN'T DARE THINK ABOUT WITH ALL OF THESE, THIS TRAFFIC THAT'S GOING TO COME ALONG WITH THESE 71 PROPOSED HOUSES. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHO SAID IT, BUT I THINK I'M IN AGREEMENT WITH THIS. I THINK IT'S PRETTY MUCH ALREADY PEOPLE. YEAH. IT'S LIKE NO MATTER WHAT WE SAY, BUT WE'RE JUST HERE JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE PAYING ATTENTION. AND THEN. I LOOKED AT IT BECAUSE I, I JUST I WAS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE, I STARTED SAYING, HEY, THEY'RE GOING TO DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO. AIN'T NO POINT IN RUNNING UP HERE. JUST GO ON AND LIVE AND CHANGE IS INEVITABLE. BUT ALL CHANGE IS NOT GOOD. ALL CHANGE IS NOT GOOD. YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER SOME THINGS AND JUST STEP BACK AND THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE. BECAUSE IN THE BEGINNING, THAT'S WHAT IT WAS

[01:45:04]

ROBERT. DYLAN, ROBERT, FOR THE RECORD, THANK YOU, VILLAGE COUNCIL, FOR HEALING ALL OF OUR COMMENTS. I'VE NEVER SPOKEN AT ALL PERIOD IN ANY VILLAGE COUNCIL OR ANY GOVERNMENT. I JUST A COUPLE PRAYERS. SO THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. I ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT THE VILLAGE ATTORNEY SAID AT THE BEGINNING, THAT THAT WE WOULD JUST HEAR SPECIFICALLY FROM THE FACTS OF AND THE LAWS THAT ARE IN PLACE ON WHAT IS TO HAPPEN. I HAVE LIVED IN I LIVE IN BOOKER PARK.

I LIVE IN, LIKE THE APARTMENT OR THE THE TOWNHOUSES RIGHT THERE COME IN BY THE RAILROAD THAT ARE RELATIVELY NEW. SO A COUPLE OF YEARS I SO MAYBE I'M A BIT OF A PROBLEM WITH THE EXTRA TRAFFIC THAT YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN. A QUICK NOTE THAT I HAD, AND I JUST TOOK A SCREENSHOT ON MY PHONE ON EITHER SIDE ENTERING BOOKER PARK. THERE'S THE BECAUSE MY I WOULD LOOK AT THE THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THE FACT THAT THE ROAD IS REALLY BUSY, REALLY BUSY EVERY DAY. EVERY SUNDAY TOO. WE PICK UP PEOPLE FROM TO GO TO CHURCH JUST RIGHT THERE ON THE ROAD AND IT'S REALLY HARD. I JUST TOOK A SCREENSHOT ON MY PHONE WHERE RIGHT BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT IT SAYS NO STOPPING PARKING OR STANDING ON MLK ROAD. AND YEAH, I WOULD JUST ADVISE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU ON THE VILLAGE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER THE TRAFFIC AND THE

[01:50:07]

MAYOR, VICE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING. MY NAME IS KEITH LEONARD. I AM A DIRECTOR OF FORWARD PLANNING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT FOR D.R. HORTON.

I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE SOME OF THE TEAM THAT'S GOING TO BE TESTIFYING BEFORE YOU TODAY. I HAVE DARLENE DEPAULA JONES. SHE'S WITH MY ENTITLEMENTS DEPARTMENT. I HAVE FROM JAY MORTON, PLANNING AND LANDSCAPE AND ARCHITECTURE. LAURA MCCLELLAN. SHE HAS 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN PLANNING. I HAVE GABE BURDEN FROM CIVIL DESIGN, 18 YEARS EXPERIENCE, AND I HAVE THEIR DOCTOR, JUAN ORTEGA FROM GEO GROUP, WHO'S GOT 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. WE PREPARED A PRESENTATION. I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU AN WHO WE ARE. SO IF YOU COULD START WITH SLIDE ONE.

SO WE ARE D.R. HORTON, AMERICA'S BUILDER. SLIDE TWO PLEASE. WE HAVE BEEN THE NUMBER ONE BUILDER IN THE COUNTRY SINCE 2002. FOR 23 YEARS, WE'VE DELIVERED OVER A MILLION HOMES IN A TIME THAT WE'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS. SLIDE THREE. WE'RE IN 36 STATES AND 126 MARKETS. WE SLIDE FOUR. SO YOU CAN SEE HERE ON HOW WE YOU KNOW, IF YOU TAKE THE SECOND, THIRD AND FOURTH BUILDERS, THEY STILL DON'T ADD UP TO WHAT WE DO IN THE YEAR. SLIDE FIVE. WE WE, YOU KNOW, BUILT OUR MILLIONTH HOME IN 2023. AND OUR PRIMARY MARKET IS FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS. AND THAT'S WHAT WE YOU KNOW THAT'S WHERE WE TARGET. AND YOU KNOW, OUR PHILOSOPHY IS, IS THAT WE WANT EVERYBODY EVERYBODY SHOULD OWN A HOME. AND WE TRY TO MAKE IT SO THAT PEOPLE HAVE AN AFFORDABLE HOME, AND THEY CAN HAVE THE AMERICAN DREAM. AND, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THI BUILT OURS PHILOSOPHY ON FOR THE LAST 23 YEARS, WHICH HAS MADE US THE NUMBER ONE BUILDER IN THE COUNTRY. SO I'LL TURN IT OFF TO LAUREN NOW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. GOOD EVENING. SO A LOT OF MY PRESENTATION IS IS GOING TO MIMIC IS GOING TO MIRROR WHAT DENA SAID. SO I'LL TRY TO GO THROUGH IT RELATIVELY QUICKLY. SO THE 10.87 ACRE PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF SOUTHWEST FARM ROAD, WEST OF BOOKER PARK. SOUTHWEST MLK CURRENTLY TRAVERSES THROUGH THE PROPERTY AND THE PROPERTY AS SHE, AS DINA MENTIONED, WAS PREVIOUSLY UTILIZED BY FEMA FOR TEMPORARY HOUSING, WHICH IS WHY THE PROPERTY ALREADY HAS WHAT LOOKS LIKE AN OLD SUBDIVISION ON IT. AND I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A SUBDIVISION BACK BEFORE THEN ON THERE AS WELL. IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. THANK YOU. SO AS DINA ALSO SAID, THE PROPERTY IS DESIGNATED AS URBAN RESIDENTIAL OFFICE ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP THAT ALLOWS FOR 15 UNITS PER ACRE. OUR PROPOSED DENSITY IS 6.5 UNITS PER ACRE, SO IT'S LESS THAN HALF OF WHAT THE MAXIMUM WOULD BE ALLOWED ON THE SITE. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THE PROPERTY IS DESIGNATED AS NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE ON THE VILLAGE ZONING MAP AS. AND THE SITE'S GENERALLY SURROUNDED BY ESTABLISHED SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS TO THE NORTH, TO THE EAST AND TO THE WEST. IN THAT CONTEXT, THE PROPOSAL FOR 71 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IS CONSISTENT AND IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND IT DOESN'T REQUIRE COMPATIBILITY IS ACHIEVED THROUGH SCALE DESIGN THAT FITS THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IT DOESN'T REQUIRE THAT EVERY LOT MATCH THE THAT EXACT LOT SIZE. IT'S MORE IT'S MORE THAT THESE PROPOSED LOTS ARE ARRANGED AS A COHESIVE SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS GOING TO INTEGRATE INTO THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT PATTERN. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND SO THIS THIS SITE PLAN SHOWS THAT. SO THIS IS THE SITE PLAN.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO READ THAN THE BLACK AND WHITE THE BLACK AND WHITE DRAWINGS.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE LOTS THERE. WE'VE GOT SOUTHWEST MARTIN LUTHER KING DRIVE TRAVERSING

[01:55:03]

TRANSPORTATION. THE PROJECT WILL ALSO PROVIDE A FAVORABLE ECONOMIC BENEFIT TO THE VILLAGE THROUGH NEW TAXABLE VALUE AND RELATED ECONOMIC ACTIVITY. AND THEN LASTLY, I'VE HEARD A LOT TONIGHT ABOUT GENERATIONS LIVING HERE, STAYING HERE, COMING BACK HERE. SO, YOU KNOW, THIS NEW HOUSING IS GOING TO PROVIDE HOMES FOR THE VILLAGE'S TEACHERS, THE BUSINESS PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE AND AS WELL AS THE CHILDREN OF THE CURRENT RESIDENTS. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I KNOW YOU WANT THEM TO COME BACK, BUT YOU DON'T REALLY WANT THEM TO LIVE IN YOUR HOUSE, SO YOU PROBABLY NEED A NEW HOUSE FOR THEM THAT'S NEARBY. AND THEN FINALLY, THE REQUIRED PUBLIC FACILITIES INFRASTRUCTURE AVAILABLE TO SERVE THE 71 UNITS. CAN YOU GO TO NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE? SO STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL BASED UPON THIS. THE PCAB RECOMMENDED APPROVAL LAST NIGHT OF THE APPLICATION. AND THEN WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST APPROVAL OF THIS APPLICATION. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS MY TEAM AND THE CLIENT ARE HERE. THANK YOU,

[02:00:04]

HELLO EVERYONE. MY NAME IS TERESA THOMPSON, ALSO A MEMBER OF THE PGA BOARD. BUT I'M SPEAKING AS A RESIDENT TONIGHT. I WAS BORN IN STUART, BUT I WAS RAISED HERE IN INDIANTOWN. I'VE SEEN A LOT OF CHANGES AND A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENING IN OUR COMMUNITY. AND THIS NEW PROJECT THAT HAS COME FORTH AS FAR AS THE THE HOMES THAT'S, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT BEING BUILT. I AGREE WITH EVERYONE ELSE TONIGHT FOR WHAT THEY'VE SAID, FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN, OUR SENIORS, PEDESTRIANS AND EVERYTHING. I DON'T THINK IT'S A GOOD FIT FOR OUR COMMUNITY. THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON AS IS IN THE COMMUNITY. SO I WOULD ASK WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IS ASK TONIGHT THAT YOU REFRAME AND THINK ABOUT IT AND JUST, JUST, JUST GIVE US SOME TIME TO, YOU KNOW, JUST JUST THINK ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON, HOW IT'S GOING TO AFFECT THIS COMMUNITY. OUR KIDS, YOU KNOW, THEY RIDE AND PLAY ON THOSE SIDEWALKS AND STUFF. AND WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING HOMES IN THERE NOW, YOU'RE JUST BASICALLY PUTTING THEM IN THE STREETS. SO WE'RE WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT OUR CHILDREN. WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY. WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT OUR OUR SAFETY, OUR SENIORS AND EVERYONE IN THIS COMMUNITY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANY COUNCIL COMMENTS? YEAH, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND YOUR CONCERNS. WE HAVE LAND USE REGULATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED AND ARE WHAT ALL OF THIS HAS TO BE COMPARED TO. WE DON'T CONTROL WHAT INDIAN TOWN HOUSING DOES WITH THEIR LANDS. WE CAN'T TELL THEM TO HOLD IT.

WE CAN'T TELL THEM WHO THEY CAN SELL IT TO. D.R. HORTON HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME, AND YOU'RE ALWAYS GOING TO HEAR BAD THINGS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT ANYBODY. AND YOU CAN HEAR BAD THINGS ABOUT MOTHER TERESA IF YOU WANT TO LOOK IT UP. BUT THEY DO HAVE A STRONG REPUTATION AS A GOOD BUILDER. WE'RE NOT DECIDING WHO BUILDS ON THAT PROPERTY EITHER. THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT THIS COUNCIL WILL EVER BE ABLE TO DECIDE. WHAT WE'RE DECIDING TONIGHT IS WHETHER OR NOT THIS PROPOSAL MEETS THE CURRENT LAND USE REGULATIONS, AND IT DOES. WE ARE NOT NOT CONCERNED ABOUT ALL THE THINGS YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT. BUT WE ARE HELD TO A STANDARD OF WHAT WE CAN VOTE WITH. AND IT'S NOT WITH OUR FEELINGS OR OUR EMOTIONS OR OUR THOUGHTS. IT'S WITH WHAT OUR LAND USE REGULATIONS STATE. SOMEONE STATED EARLIER THAT THEY FELT LIKE OUR LAND USE REGULATIONS NEEDED TO BE REVISED. THAT MAY VERY WELL BE THE CASE. HOWEVER, UNTIL THAT HAPPENS, WE ARE HELD TO WHAT WE HAVE NOW AND THIS APPLICATION APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN PROPERLY HANDLED. SOMEBODY MADE A QUESTION ABOUT WE DON'T KNOW WHETHER THINGS ARE BEING DONE THE WAY THEY ARE. IF IT'S ALL ON PAPER, IT'S ALL AVAILABLE.

YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO WALK THROUGH THE DOOR. WE HAVE PZA MEETINGS. WE HAVE THESE MEETINGS. THERE'S NO LACK OF TRANSPARENCY IN OUR COMMUNITY.

THIS BOARD IS EVERYONE ON THIS BOARD IS AVAILABLE. OUR PHONE NUMBERS ARE POSTED. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING YOU CAN ASK, AND WE ARE GLAD TO MEET WITH YOU OR TALK TO YOU ABOUT ANY SITUATION, ANY CONCERN THAT YOU HAVE. WHAT WE CAN'T DO IS DECIDE WHETHER WE LIKE SOMETHING VERSUS SOMETHING ELSE. WE CAN'T DECIDE WHETHER WE THINK IT'S A GOOD FIT OR NOT.

EMOTIONALLY, OR EVEN WITH ALL YOUR VERY VALID CONCERNS ABOUT THE KIDS AND THE SAFETY, ALL WE CAN MAKE A DECISION ON TONIGHT IS WHETHER OR NOT WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING FITS OUR CURRENT LAWS

[02:05:09]

SO 28 TO 32 SMALL SINGLE FAMILY HOMES BETWEEN 1200 AND 1600 SQUARE FEET. AND I'M NOT A PLANNER, SO DON'T DON'T TAKE THIS 110 TO 14 COTTAGE HOMES OR DUPLEX UNITS. IT'S IDEAL FOR SINGLES OR PEOPLE THAT ARE DOWNSIZING 8 TO 10 ACCESSIBLE SENIOR COTTAGES OR TOWNHOMES FOR THAT WILL REPLACE THE ASSISTANT LIVING SO YOU CAN AGE IN PLACE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GOING TO AN ASSISTED LIVING. IT'LL STILL HELP YOU TO MAINTAIN PROFITABILITY THROUGH PRODUCING DIVERSITY. IT'LL REDUCE INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS VIA THE CLUSTERING, AND IT WILL AVOID THE OPERATIONAL COMPLEXITY OF A LIVING CENTER. WE ALSO NEED GREEN SPACE. IS THERE. I HEARD ABOUT THERE WAS GREEN SPACE IN YOUR DRAWINGS. HOW MUCH GREEN SPACE ARE WE TALKING? COMMUNITY NEEDS GREEN SPACE. YOU NEED IT FOR THE LAND. YOU NEED IT FOR THE EARTH. YOU NEED IT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. PLEASE. SO WE HAVE WE HAVE ABOUT TWO ACRES OF OPEN SPACE WITHIN THE PROJECT. AND THEN THERE IS OPEN SPACE AROUND THE PERIMETERS AS WELL FOR DRAINAGE, ETC. I DON'T HAVE THAT QUANTIFIED. I JUST THAT'S OKAY TOO. THAT'S OKAY. FOR PUBLIC RECORDS FOR ME. I DON'T OPPOSE HOUSING. I DON'T OPPOSE GROWTH. I WANT TO HAVE A SENSITIVE DEVELOPMENT THAT STRENGTHENS THE LONG TERM GROWTH AND WELL-BEING AND HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY. HIGH DENSITY HOUSING ON A CENTRAL AVENUE MAY BE APPROPRIATE FOR URBAN AREAS WITH TRANSIT SERVICES INFRASTRUCTURE CAPACITY. BUT IN A SMALL TOWN, HOWEVER CONCENTRATED. DENSITY CREATES DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT ON TRAFFIC, UTILITY, EMERGENCY SERVICE AND OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE. WELL PLANNED LOWER DENSITY DEVELOPMENT CENTERED ON SHARED GREEN SPACE PROVIDE HOUSING WHILE PRESERVING COMMUNITY CHARACTER. GREEN SPACE IS NOT AN AMENITY. IT IS ESSENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE TO REDUCE FLOODING, HEAT SUPPORT,

[02:10:01]

ALL RIGHT. I MEAN, IF YOU THINK BACK, IF YOU THINK BACK TO THE RIVER OAKS PROJECT. YEAH, IT WAS KIND OF THE SAME, SAME PROBLEM, YOU KNOW, AND THEY COULD HAVE BUILT A HIGH RISE ON THAT. BUT THE BUILDER, GEORGE LINDEMANN, HE WORKED WITH THE COMMUNITY. NOW I'M SURE I'M SURE AFTER TONIGHT THERE WILL PROBABLY BE MORE MEETINGS AND MAYBE SOME COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND SOME COMMUNITY REACH OUT AND MAYBE YOU CAN ALL GET TOGETHER AND FIGURE IT OUT.

OKAY. AND I WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY, BECAUSE I KNOW SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN HERE FOR A LIFETIME. SOME OF YOU ARE NEWCOMERS. I'VE BEEN HERE FOR 33 YEARS, AND I REMEMBER, YEAH, 33 YEARS. AND I REMEMBER WHEN THERE WERE DUPLEXES ON THAT PROPERTY. I REMEMBER WHEN ROGER'S STORE WAS ON CHARLESTON STREET AND ROGER'S QUARTERS WAS THERE, AND THOMPSON'S APARTMENTS WERE THERE. OKAY. AND IF YOU ADD ALL THAT UP AND ALL THOSE PEOPLE AND ALL THOSE CARS, IT DOESN'T COME OUT TO WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING TO DO. WE DIDN'T HAVE CARS LIKE NOW.

BECAUSE I DIDN'T. DO YOU WANT TO DID YOU WANT TO ADDRESS US OKAY. SO GO AHEAD. COME ON. HE HAS A. YEAH. COME ON UP. NO, NO, COME ON UP. CAN I ASK A QUESTION OF QUESTION? SORRY, I WANTED TO I WAS TALKING WITH MY CLIENT AND HE SAID SAID THAT WE CAN LOOK AT WE CAN LOOK AT MOVING SOME OF THE LOTS AROUND. BUT IN ORDER TO DO THAT, RIGHT NOW, THIS PROJECT MEETS ALL OF THE CODE REQUIRED CODE, THE CODE CODE REQUIREMENTS. AND WE CAN LOOK AT MOVING AND SHIFTING SOME THINGS TO GET SOME MORE SPACE. BUT THAT WOULD REQUIRE A VARIANCE FROM THE REGULATIONS WHICH. CORRECT. SO THAT'S THE THAT'S THE ISSUE. BUT WE CAN WE CAN CONTINUE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AFTER AFTER THIS EVENING AND COME BACK IN WITH A MODIFICATION. IF, IF, IF IT'S ALL ACCEPTABLE. I APPRECIATE THAT. I HAVE A QUESTION. THANK YOU FOR THAT CONSIDERATION. GO AHEAD OKAY. GOOD EVENING. OKAY I HAVE A REALLY ALTHOUGH THE CRITERIA IS MET AND I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, YOU HAVE TO GET A VARIANCE WHEN YOU ALL BEGIN TO DO EVERYTHING. I GUESS MAYBE YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO, BUT I'M JUST JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, DID YOU MEET WITH ANY OF THE RESIDENTS OVER THERE? NO, NO YOU DIDN'T. YOU DIDN'T CONSIDER ANYTHING FROM THE RESIDENTS.

ALTHOUGH YOU YOU CHECKED ALL THE BOXES. SO HERE'S THE THING. THAT AND I'M NOT AGAINST YOU CHECKING THE BOXES. I'M NOT. BUT WHAT I AM CONCERNED. ALTHOUGH WE WE HAVE TO.

ALTHOUGH CRITERIA IS MET AND WHAT WE HAVE A JOB TO DO, OUR ULTIMATE CONCERN IS FOR THE COMMUNITY. AND OUR ROADS ARE RAGGEDY OVER THERE. I GO TO CHURCH OVER THERE SO I KNOW BEEN THERE OVER 16 YEARS, THE ROADS AND THEN YOU ALL WANT TO DO THE BUILDING? THAT'S FINE.

I'M ALL FOR CHANGE AS WELL. BUT IN EVERYTHING I AGREE WITH COUNCILWOMAN PHYLLIS WATERS BROWN THAT MODIFICATION OF THE HOMES, MISS ROSARIO SAID ABOUT THE WATER, ALL OF THAT STUFF IS

[02:15:09]

BUT AT WITH ALL OF THAT, I'M JUST VERY CONCERNED THAT NOBODY CONSIDERED THAT. YOU GUYS MAYBE Y'ALL DIDN'T JUST DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW THAT NO ONE SAID ANYTHING TO THE RESIDENT.

DID YOU GO DO SOME HOME VISITS OUT THERE? DID YOU? YOU KNOW, MAYBE YOU SAY, I DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT AND YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU ARE. YOU'RE BUILDING SOMETHING IN A COMMUNITY, ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY. AND THESE PEOPLE HAVE MAJOR CONCERNS, AND THEY JUST WANT TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR LIVING QUARTERS. ONE YOUNG LADY, MISS PARKER, SAID ABOUT LAWSUITS, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A THAT'S AN INTERESTING CONCERN. ALTHOUGH YOU CHECKED THE BOXES. THAT'S AN INTERESTING CONCERN. I'M NOT HERE TO DO AN AI DIVE OR NONE OF THAT. I'M JUST MY MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT THE RESIDENTS FEELINGS, YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT HERE BASED ON FEELINGS, I GET IT, BUT WE ARE HERE TO MAKE A VOTE, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DO THE RIGHT THING, YOU KNOW, AND I REALLY I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT MANY HOMES. ALTHOUGH IT'S YOUR RIGHT. WE CHECKED THE BOXES. RIGHT. YOU CAN DO THAT.

AND YOU CUT IT DOWN FROM 100 AND SOMETHING. THAT'S GREAT. BUT STILL. DID YOU GET A CHANCE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH ANY OF THE THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS? THAT'S A BIG QUESTION FOR ME.

AS YOU SEE, THEY'RE HERE AND THEY THEY HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THAT. AND I DON'T WANT THAT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. OKAY. AND I WANT YOU TO CONSIDER THE ROAD, THE TRAFFIC IN THAT, YOU KNOW, UP AND DOWN. HAVE YOU COME OUT IN THE DAYTIME TO LOOK AT THE PROPERTY? HAVE YOU BEEN OUT THERE? DID YOU SEE ANY RESIDENTS OUT THERE YOU AIN'T SEEN? DID YOU GO LOOK FOR ANY? I'M JUST ASKING, DID YOU KNOCK ON THE DOORS? JUST ASK HIM SO THAT THAT'S THAT'S MY MAIN CONCERN. AND AGAIN, WE'RE HERE BASED ON THE CRITERIA, BUT I NEED THIS ON RECORD THAT COUNCILWOMAN VERNA STEIN. SEE THAT? WILLIAMS PALMER ASKED THAT QUESTION BECAUSE I DON'T WANT NO PHONE CALLS. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE PUBLIC THAT WE DID NOT CONSIDER THEIR FEELINGS. OKAY. ALRIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? I DO. SO I CAME ACROSS THE ROGER QUARTERS 1983 MAP. YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN HERE FOR 40 YEARS AND YOU KNOW THE RESIDENTS, YOU KNOW, I HEAR THE RESIDENTS CONCERNS. WE ARE HERE. YOU KNOW, ELDERS NEED TO BE LOOKED AT. YOU KNOW, TONIGHT WE HAVE THREE PRIORITIES THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS. AND ONE OF THEM, ONE OF MY PRIORITIES IS GOING TO BE THE ELDERS. YOU KNOW, I'M ALL ABOUT KIDS. IF YOU GUYS COULD CONSIDER THE GREEN AREA FOR THE CHILDREN, YOU KNOW, WE'RE VERY LIMITED TO WHAT WE HAVE HERE WHEN IT COMES TO YOUTH SPORTS. AND WE WANT THEM TO, YOU KNOW, STAY OUT OF TROUBLE. HEY, WHAT CAN WE DO FOR THEM? THANK YOU. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO HAVING MET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS. WE HAVE A MOTION. YOU HAD ONE MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND. SECOND. WE HAVE A FIRST AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE AYE. ALL OPPOSED. PASS UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. BEFORE YOU. BEFORE YOU LEAVE, I DON'T WANT Y'ALL TO FEEL LIKE YOU'RE UNWELCOME OR BEAT UP OR ANYTHING. THIS IS THIS. WE GO THROUGH THIS WITH EVERY DEVELOPMENT. WE. WE'RE A SMALL TOWN. I'VE ONLY LIVED HERE FOR ABOUT NINE YEARS, AND. WE WE WE'RE STUCK IN THAT SPACE BETWEEN GROWTH AND HOLDING ON TO HERITAGE. WE'D LIKE FOR YOU ALL TO COME IN AS PARTNERS TO THE COMMUNITY. LOVE TO HAVE YOU, LOVE TO HAVE THE HOMES. IT'LL BRING THE PROPERTY VALUES UP IN THAT AREA. IT'LL PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOR PEOPLE TO IMPROVE THEIR HOUSING. IT'LL ENCOURAGE MORE HOUSING IMPROVEMENT, AND IT WILL PAY FOR ROADS TO BE FIXED. THE TAX DOLLARS. SO WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND JUST MAYBE LOOKING AT THAT, REVAMPING IT JUST SLIGHTLY AND MAKING IT A LITTLE BIT MORE THAT NEIGHBORHOOD FRIENDLY, BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF LITTLE KIDS THAT WALK TO SCHOOL AND BACK AND FORTH, AND THAT'S WHO YOU'RE THAT'S WHO YOUR BUYERS ARE GOING TO BE. SO WE APPRECIATE YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LISTENING TO THE COUNTER-OFFER AND EVEN CONSIDERING IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND I'D LIKE YOU ALL TO STAY BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO

[02:20:06]

MAYOR, AND WE DO HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS. AFTER MAYOR, I WAS I THINK WE CAN DO THE PRIORITIES SINCE YOU BROUGHT THAT UP, BUT I WE CAN DO THE PRIORITIES SINCE YOU BROUGHT THAT UP. BUT WE CAN PUSH OUT THE OTHER ITEMS THAT I HAVE UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING BECAUSE IT'S LATE. YEAH.

THE DEVELOPMENT REPORT AND BUYING THE PROPERTY AT THE. OKAY. WELL LET'S, LET'S, LET'S

[5) DISCUSSION ITEMS]

WITH CHANGE COMING. I MEAN, WITH GROWTH COMING. MY SECOND IS FORMING YOUTH SPORTS. YOU KNOW, WHEN WE INCORPORATED BACK IN 2017, 2017, 18, YOU KNOW, WE WERE WE WERE GOING TO BRING YOU SPORTS. WE NEED MORE FOR THE CHILDREN. AND MY THIRD IS HOW TO HOW WE CAN IMPROVE OUR COMMUNICATION WITH OUR RESIDENTS. HOW CAN WE GET HOW CAN WE GET THE INFORMATION OUT VIA TEXT MESSAGE VIA EMAIL? DO WE HIRE SOMEONE PART TIME? HEY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO BE HERE AT THE FOOD DRIVES AT AT THE COMMUNITY EVENTS, CHURCHES. HOW CAN WE GET THE MESSAGE OUT TO OUR RESIDENTS? OKAY. VICE MAYOR. MY FIRST ONE IS STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION. WE NEED THEM SO THAT WE ALL KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING AND WHEN WE GET THERE, WE'LL KNOW THAT WE'RE THERE. WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT I HAVE MORE THAN THREE. WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT PROPERTY TAX WHEN IT COMES UP FOR ELECTION, WHERE IF IT'S GOING TO BE REMOVED, WHAT DO WE DO FOR MONEY? I HAD REWRITE THE ELDERS OR THE CODES AND UPDATE OUR COMP PLAN AS WELL. I HAD SPORTS FOR THE VILLAGE. AND I HAD OUR MISSION AND VISION STATEMENT. ARE WE GOING TO KEEP THE ONE THAT WE HAVE? BECAUSE WE'RE. FOR ME, WE'RE FLYING BLIND. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A MISSION AND A VISION STATEMENT, HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO GET TO WHERE YOU SAY YOU'RE GOING TO GO? SO DO WE KEEP IT OR DO WE REVAMP IT? I THINK THAT'S IT FOR ME. OKAY.

COUNCILWOMAN. OBVIOUSLY ELDERS WAS THE MAIN THING FOR ME AS WELL. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME COMMUNITY BEAUTIFICATION AND MORE COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES, AND I WOULD LIKE TO DEVELOP THE EQUESTRIAN ACTIVITY LANDS THAT ARE AVAILABLE HERE, BECAUSE THAT BRINGS IN A LOT OF VISITORS TO THE COMMUNITY THAT WILL SPEND THEIR MONEY. HERE. WE HAVE THE LANDS, THE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES. WE HAVE TIMERS, POWERS THAT BRINGS IN A LOT OF EQUESTRIANS, PALM CITY TRAILS ASSOCIATION DOES A LOT IN PALM CITY FOR PRESERVATION AND CONSERVATION OF LANDS, AND I INTEND TO TALK TO THE FPL GENTLEMAN ABOUT CREATING SOME EQUESTRIAN TRAILS FOR THAT PURPOSE ON THE LANDS THAT THEY JUST ANNEXED. SO THOSE ARE THE THREE MAIN CONCERNS THAT I HAD.

THANK YOU. OKAY. I HAVE COUNCIL. OKAY. ALRIGHT. JOB FAIR. I BRING UP THE JOB FAIR SIMPLY BECAUSE WE HAVE ALL THESE BUSINESSES THAT'S COMING. ARE ARE ACTUALLY HERE. NO, EVERYTHING IS A MYSTERY. NOBODY CAN GET ANY INFORMATION. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. FORGET ABOUT IT. NOBODY KNOWS NOTHING. THAT'S A PROBLEM FOR ME BECAUSE WE VOTED TO HAVE THESE PEOPLE COME IN, BUT WE CAN'T. WHEN PEOPLE START, THEY'LL SEND OUT. AND I, I TRIED MYSELF TO TO TO GO AND LOOK FOR THESE JOBS. THEY SEND IT TO THIS, THEY SEND IT TO THAT. AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW SOMEBODY YOU DON'T GET THAT JOB. AND THE FIRST QUESTION I ASKED FOR ALL OF THESE BUSINESSES, WILL THOSE JOBS BE AVAILABLE FOR THE PEOPLE OF INDIANTOWN? NOW, IF YOU DON'T KNOW SOMEBODY, IF YOU'RE NOT FRIENDS, YOU DON'T GET THAT JOB. AND I TELL YOU, I KNOW PERSONALLY BECAUSE SOMEONE TOLD ME IT'S SOMEBODY THAT THEY KNOW. AND THAT'S THAT'S A PROBLEM FOR ME TO STRATEGIC PLANNING. VICE MAYOR ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THAT. AND I AGREE

[02:25:08]

VILLAGE MANAGER. I'M JUST WONDERING IS IT WITHIN BECAUSE I KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT TO DO.

ARE YOU ABLE TO DO A TWO WEEK MANAGER'S REPORT? LET US KNOW WHO WE'RE WHO, WHAT DEVELOPERS ARE COMING IN BEFOREHAND, WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR. YOU KNOW, THAT TYPE OF THING. I KNOW YOU DO. YOU HAVE A LOT ON YOUR PLATE, BUT I'M JUST WONDERING, WELL, WE DO THESE REPORTS NOW, BUT PART OF THE ISSUE IS SOME OF THESE ARE PRE-APPLICATION OKAY. SO THEY'RE COMING IN TO SAY THIS IS WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO. DOES IT FIT INTO YOUR REGULATIONS. BUT THEN IT'S NOT NECESSARILY WHAT THEY BRING BACK. YOU KNOW, RIVER OAK, WE EXPERIENCED THAT INITIALLY.

RIVER OAK WAS GOING TO BE 178, BUT ONCE THEY GOT A BUILDER AND THE BUILDER STARTED LOOKING AT WHAT THEY COULD WORK WITH, THEY SCALED IT DOWN TO THE 131. SO I'D HATE TO GET EVERYBODY UP IN ARMS BECAUSE WE HAVE 178. AT THE END OF THE DAY, THEY CAN ONLY DO 131. OUR DEVELOPMENT REPORTS ARE OUR INTERACTIVE MAP. YOU CAN GO ON THERE AND YOU CAN SEE EVERY SINGLE DEVELOPMENT.

YOU CAN CLICK ON IT AND YOU GET ALL THE INFORMATION RIGHT ON OUR WEBSITE. SO I CAN WE CAN DO A REPORT. BUT WE STOPPED DOING THEM SO FREQUENTLY BECAUSE THE INFORMATION WAS THE SAME OVER AND OVER AND OVER. AND WE'RE NOW CURRENTLY DOING A QUARTERLY REPORT AT THE JOINT MEETING. SO THAT'S WHEN DINA WILL UPDATE THE DEVELOPMENT. SHE WAS GOING TO DO A PRESENTATION TONIGHT, BUT I BECAUSE IT'S GETTING LATE. WE WERE HERE TILL THIS TIME LAST NIGHT. YEAH I THINK THAT'S PART OF MY PROBLEM. BUT YOU KNOW WE CAN WE CAN LOOK INTO IT AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN DO.

OKAY. OKAY. JUST AND JUST FOR THE RECORD, THESE QUESTIONS THAT I'VE ASKED, THESE QUESTIONS COME. THESE ARE PRIORITIES FOR ME AS WELL. BUT MAJORITY OF THESE ALL OF THESE HAVE COME FROM COMMUNITY. SO I JUST YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT TRANSPARENCY AND I AND I, YOU KNOW, NOT TO NOT TO BELITTLE OR PUT DOWN THE, THE STAFF BECAUSE I THINK, YOU KNOW, DINA, YOU KNOW, I LOVE YOU. YOU DO A GREAT JOB. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. ALL OF YOU. YOU KNOW, YOU DO A GREAT JOB, BUT I JUST I HAD TO DO THIS. I HAVE TO SAY THESE THINGS BECAUSE A LOT OF THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE CALLING AND MAKING STATEMENTS, THEY'RE NOT HERE. SO I'M THEIR VOICE.

AND I JUST WAS THEY'RE PROBABLY LOOKING ON, PULL IT BACK UP. AND THEY NEED TO KNOW THAT I DID ADDRESS IT. AND ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS, COUNCILWOMAN, LAST NIGHT, DINA DID HER UPDATE WITH THE PCAB. WE HADN'T DONE THAT IN A FEW MONTHS BECAUSE THEY HADN'T BEEN MEETING. OKAY.

AND HER AND I HAVE SPOKEN BEFORE THIS TO SAY WE'RE GOING TO BRING THEM TOGETHER AND YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT REPORT AT THEIR MEETING EVERY MONTH. OKAY. AND AND SHE'S VERY THOROUGH WITH WHAT'S NEW AND WHAT'S NOT NEW, BECAUSE SHE, SHE EVEN APOLOGIZED BECAUSE SHE FELT LIKE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE INFORMATION BECAUSE WE HADN'T BEEN MEETING. BUT WE'RE GOING TO BRING THEM TOGETHER AND MEET REGARDLESS. IF NOTHING ELSE, THEY'LL JUST GET THAT REPORT.

RIGHT. OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S IT. I HAVE ONE MORE. CAN I ADD ONE MORE TO THE LIST? CARMINE ANGELINA THREE. THREE. ONE. HE SPOKE TWICE. NO. I WANT TO ADD ONE MORE THING. CARMINE. OH, OKAY. WHEN HE'S DONE, THERE'S ONE MORE. COME ON. GO AHEAD.

OKAY. YOU KNOW, WE HAD I HAD LOOKED AT THE INQUIRE OF THE PROPERTY ON CHARLESTON. YOU

[02:30:02]

I WANT TO BUY LAND AND EXPAND THE PARK. I WANT TO REMOVE 169TH FROM WHERE IT IS AND PUT THE ROAD IN BEHIND THE FIRE STATION. AND I'VE BEEN WORKING AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON GETTING LAND. I'VE BEEN TALKING TO PEOPLE ABOUT ACQUIRING SOME LAND THERE TO BRING THE PARK ALL THE WAY OUT TO. THE ROAD AND MOVING, GETTING RID OF THE ROAD. THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE CRA. BUT WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT THE PROPERTY THAT THE SCHOOL BOARD OWNS THAT'S RIGHT NEXT TO THE PARK. AND I'D LIKE TO OBTAIN THE PROPERTY THAT'S THE OLD OMEGA LANDSCAPING PROPERTY ON THE CORNER. AND THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO EXPAND OUR PARKS. AND I REALLY WANT TO TAKE THAT ROAD OUT OF THERE, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT KIDS RUNNING BACK AND FORTH BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO GROW, WE'RE GOING TO GROW, AND THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE KIDS, AND THERE'S PEOPLE GETTING MARRIED, AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE HAVING KIDS, HOPEFULLY. AND AND WE NEED TO MAKE THAT PARK A REAL PARK. SO AS YOU ALL KNOW, MAY KNOW, WE GOT THE BOXING CLUB GOING IN IN THE OLD FIRE STATION, WHICH HAS BEEN A PRETTY BIG HIT. SO I WANT TO KEEP WORKING ON THAT. AFFORDABLE HOUSING HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT I'VE BEEN WORKING ON SINCE DAY ONE WHEN I GOT HERE, BECAUSE THAT WAS A PROMISE THAT WAS MADE. WHAT MAKES AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNAFFORDABLE THAT I HAVE FOUND IS INFRASTRUCTURE. SO TO SAY, LET'S TAKE A PIECE OF LAND AND PUT INFRASTRUCTURE IN IT. NOW, IT'S NOT AFFORDABLE ANYMORE. SO WE NEED TO LOOK WITHIN BOOKER PARK AT VACANT LOTS. AND WE HAVE ONE THAT WE HAVE BEEN I'VE BEEN TALKING WITH THE VILLAGE MANAGER ABOUT, AND THERE'S A NEW WAY OF BUILDING A SYSTEM.

IT'S CALLED RENCO. THEY HAVE BUILT THEIR FIRST FACTORY IN THE UNITED STATES, WHICH IS RIGHT DOWN HERE OFF OF BEELINE HIGHWAY IN JUPITER. VERY IMPRESSIVE PLANT. AND IT'S A IT'S A BLOCK THAT'S A SYNTHETIC BLOCK. AND I BROUGHT A LOT OF GROUPS OF PEOPLE THROUGH THERE.

AND IT'S VERY IMPRESSIVE IN A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT. AND I'M TRYING TO BUILD A HOUSE THAT'S IN THE RANGE OF $140,000. SO I WANT TO USE OUR LOT TO FIND SOMEBODY TO BUY THAT LOT AND PUT THAT HOUSE PACKAGE ON IT AND SEE IF I CAN ACTUALLY GET IT TO $140,000.

AND THE NICE THING ABOUT THIS SYSTEM IS THAT IT DOESN'T TAKE SKILLED LABOR TO PUT IT TOGETHER. IT'S LIKE LEGO BLOCKS. YOU COULD LITERALLY BUILD A HOUSE IN A DAY. THE SHELL. SO I'M WORKING ON THAT AND I WANT TO KEEP WORKING ON THAT. AND I WANT TO SEE THAT COME, COME TRUE. AND I'M WORKING ON TRYING TO GET MORE COMMERCIAL IN HERE. GET SOME RESTAURANTS IN HERE, GET, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING FOR JOBS. I WANT TO CREATE JOBS, EVERYBODY. WE GOT ALL THESE PEOPLE COMING. WE GOT ALL THESE HOMES BEING BUILT. AND YOU'RE RIGHT, WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO GO TO WORK? SO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE VILLAGE WERE ON THE RIGHT TRACK. WE'RE HEADING IN THE RIGHT POSITION. PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT US AND I THINK 26 AND 27 IS GOING TO BE, I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE MAYBE SKEPTICAL OR DON'T WANT GROWTH OR DON'T WANT THIS OR DON'T WANT THAT, I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO REALIZE THE LIFE, THE QUALITY OF LIFE. WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS IMPROVE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE FOR EVERYBODY, FOR THE PEOPLE THAT

[02:35:05]

AND I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE HIM TO YOU PROBABLY AT THE NEXT MEETING. AND I THINK HE'D BE GREAT TO START AN ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION HERE FOR INDIANTOWN. SO, I MEAN, WE NEED STRUCTURE, BUT ALL OF EVERYTHING THAT EVERYBODY HERE IS TALKING ABOUT REQUIRES DOLLARS, OKAY? IT REQUIRES MONEY. SO WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE, EVEN WITH THIS FPNL ANNEXATION, I MEAN, DO YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR TAX MONEY? YOU WANT TO TELL THEM? WELL, INITIALLY, JUST THE LAND ALONE IS GOING TO BE OVER A HALF $1 MILLION IN NEW MONEY. YOU'RE TALKING JUST JUST FOR THE LAND ALONE. A HALF $1 MILLION. IN MY CONVERSATIONS WITH FPNL, WE'RE LOOKING AT OVER $1 MILLION, YOU KNOW, AND AND WITH THE OTHER STUFF THAT'S COMING TO INDIANTOWN, IF YOU WANT TO STAY HERE, AND I WOULD, I URGE YOU TO STAY HERE AND LISTEN TO DINA'S PRESENTATION ON, ON ON THE DEVELOPMENT REPORT, BECAUSE THIS A LOT THAT'S HAPPENING HERE. OKAY.

BUT YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND SOMETHING. I'M HERE BECAUSE I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY AND I LOVE THE PEOPLE IN IT. I'VE BEEN HERE SERVING THIS COMMUNITY FOR 34 YEARS. OKAY? AND I COULD BE DOING A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER THINGS. BUT I'M ON A MISSION TO SEE THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THIS VILLAGE, TO RISE UP AND TO RISE UP ABOVE ANYTHING YOU'VE EVER SEEN. AND WE CAN DO IT BECAUSE WE HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR IT. OKAY, NOW, SOME THINGS MIGHT BE SCARY, BUT. NOTHING'S EVER EASY. OKAY? YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GET IN THAT AIRPLANE AND YOU'RE GOING DOWN THE RUNWAY AND THAT THING ROTATES, GUESS WHAT? YOU'RE COMMITTED. WELL, WHEN THEY INCORPORATED THIS VILLAGE, THEY ROTATED IT. AND NOW ALL WE CAN DO IS MANAGE WHAT'S COMING, BECAUSE IT'S COMING. AND IF YOU THINK ANY ONE OF US UP HERE CAN MAKE THINGS GO AWAY, WE CAN'T. ALL WE CAN DO IS MANAGE THEM. SO THAT'S WHAT MY MISSION IS, AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO ACCOMPLISH IN THE NEXT YEAR. TO GET BOOKER PARK, TO GET STARTED, TO REDEVELOP IT. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE. I DON'T WANT TO BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND HAVE PEOPLE FROM THE OUTSIDE COME IN. I WANT TO REDEVELOP BOOKER PARK FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE SO THAT THEY CAN OWN A HOUSE AND THEY CAN BUILD THEIR EQUITY AND THEY CAN BUILD THEIR WEALTH, BECAUSE IN AMERICA, THE ONLY WAY TO BUILD WEALTH IS TO OWN PROPERTY. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY. AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO SEE HAPPEN HERE IN INDIANTOWN. I WANT TO SEE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE RENTING HOUSES TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD A HOUSE, TO BUY A HOUSE. AND WE DID THIS TWO YEARS AGO WHEN WE HAD OUR MEETING. WE HAD I HAD WHAT WE HAD CREDIT COUNSELORS, BANKS, LENDERS. WE HAD EVERYBODY HERE IN THIS ROOM.

AND I THINK THAT THEY'RE STILL MEETING. RIGHT. SO SO WE'RE ON THE RIGHT TRAJECTORY. SO I WANT TO KEEP IT GOING THERE. AND YOU KNOW WHAT I NEED? I NEED FEEDBACK FROM YOU. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE AT BOOKER PARK, YOU SEE ME AND BOOKER PARK, YOU SEE ME OUT. YOU SEE ME OVER THERE BY THE BOXING CLUB. YOU SEE ME AT THE PARK. YOU SEE ME WALKING AROUND, COME TALK TO ME. CALL ME. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE. I USED TO SPEND MY WHOLE DAY IN BOOKER PARK. YOU KNOW? YEAH, I MEAN, I'M I'M THERE. SO IF YOU HAVE IDEAS, YOU GOT. YOU HAVE IDEAS. BRING THEM TO ME. HELP ME. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. YEAH. I'M DONE. FINISHED. YOU. CARMINE. SHUT UP. RIGHT. OKAY, MAYOR. SO JUST. YES, MA'AM. OKAY. I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS BEFORE WE CLOSE UP AND EVERYTHING. EVERYBODY HEARD WHAT THE MAYOR SAID. CORRECT. SO THE MAYOR HAS GIVEN YOU AN OPEN INVITATION. EVERYBODY GOT HIS PHONE NUMBER? YEAH. CALL ME. HE. OKAY, SO. SO THE MAYOR

[02:40:02]

THANK YOU. I'M HERE FOR YOU. YOU GOT YOUR PHONE NUMBER. OKAY. IT'S ON THE MISS CHRISTIE. I MEAN, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH, WITH WITH A BILL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, DON'T CALL ME. CALL THE VILLAGE MANAGER. YEAH, WE DON'T HANDLE THAT, OKAY? SHE CAN TAKE CARE OF IT, BECAUSE ALL. ALL I CAN DO IS CALL HER AND SAY, HEY, LOOK, I GOT THIS PHONE CALL, BUT IF YOU CALL HER, YOU'RE GETTING THE MESSAGE RIGHT TO THE PERSON THAT'S RUNNING THE SHOW HERE. I'M NOT RUNNING THE SHOW HERE. YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT MY SHOW. THIS IS HER SHOW, RIGHT, MISS CHRISTIE? OKAY, NOW THAT WE'VE GIVEN, NOW THAT WE'VE GIVEN OUR THREE PRIORITIES, WHAT DO WE DO NEXT? WHAT'S NEXT? GET THEM DONE. WELL, I THINK HAVING THE STRATEGIC PLANNING TO DISCUSS THEM WOULD BE GOOD. SO ANY FACILITATOR WOULD WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS. I KNOW STAFF HAS LISTENED TO IT WELL. GROUP AND TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE CAN DEAL WITH FAIRLY QUICKLY. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY OKAY. SO WE CAN MOVE ON TO OUR DEVELOPMENT REPORT RIGHT NOW. WE'RE GOING TO PUT THAT OFF ACTUALLY. YEAH. WE WE WANTED TO ASK BECAUSE IT'S GOTTEN LATE. AND DINA'S DEVELOPMENT REPORT, SHE GAVE IT LAST NIGHT AND IT WAS EXTENSIVE. SO BY WHICH I MEAN SO YEAH. WHAT WHAT STAFF IS ASKING IF PERHAPS THE NEXT MEETING, THE DEVELOPMENT REPORT AND THE MATTER GETTING THE PROPERTY FROM MARTIN COUNTY?

[PUBLIC COMMENT]

YOU DON'T KNOW IT BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIVE THERE. YOU GO TO CHURCH THAT YOU WAS RAISED THERE. QUITE SURE YOU'VE BEEN THERE. BUT AS A RESIDENT. UP FIFTH STREET, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 1/74 COMBINES AND 73RD, 173RD, THIRD COMBINED. THEY DO, BUT YOU STILL GOTTA CROSS THE ROAD. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WHEN THEY BUILD THOSE 71 HOMES? WE HAVE A PARK RIGHT HERE.

YOU'RE GOING TO PUT A FENCE THERE FOR SAFETY, AM I RIGHT? I DON'T KNOW, YOU DON'T KNOW.

WELL, I'M SAYING THEY'RE GOING TO PUT A FENCE THERE FOR SAFETY. HOW ARE THE KIDS GOING TO GET FROM HERITAGE PARK TO THE PARK? THEY DON'T HAVE A PARK. AND LIKE THEY SAID, WE CAN'T SEND KIDS FROM BOOKER PARK OR FROM HERITAGE PARK OVER TO TEROLDEGO BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO ALLOW THAT. AND I KNOW YOU COULDN'T STOP WHAT WAS ALREADY PAST. I UNDERSTAND THAT I'M NOT UPSET ABOUT CHANGE, BUT WE GOTTA STILL LOOK OUT FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR KIDS. PLEASE.

THAT'S ALL I ASK YOU ALL TO DO. SPEAK WITH THEM AGAIN. AND WHEN WE WAS VOTING FOR Y'ALL, Y'ALL WAS OUT IN THE COMMUNITY. I DON'T SEE YOU NO MORE. I DON'T EVEN SEE YOU AND YOU TALKING ABOUT THE PARK. WHAT DO WE GOT GOING ON AT THE PARK? THAT I NEED TO GO TO THE PARK. COME ON, CARMINE, Y'ALL DO BETTER. MR. GUZMAN. MARGARITO. OKAY, SO DO WE HAVE ANY? ARE WE GOING TO? SO, YEAH, I DO SEEK THAT YOU GUYS DO THE LDR MEETING ASAP RIGHT AWAY. IT'S NOT. WE'RE JUST IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT BROOKLYN PARK. WE'RE DISAPPOINTED ABOUT GROWTH IN INDIAN TOWN PERIOD. DISAPPOINTED. WE KNOW THAT WE'RE GROWING. WE HAVE ALREADY GROWN. WE HAVE ALREADY STEPPED UP AS A COMMUNITY THAT'S JUST THAT JUST DOUBLED THE SIZE OF INDIAN TOWN. NOW WE'RE BRINGING MORE IN. BUT WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE FUNDAMENTALS.

FIRST. WE HAVE TO GO DEEP AND GET THE FUNDAMENTALS FIXED. FIRST, YOU WANT TO BRING THE

[02:45:01]

WE ARE AGAINST GROWTH, AND WE DO NEED TO ANALYZE THE LDR RIGHT AWAY ASAP. OKAY. THANK YOU. THE LAST ONE IS. MR. ALEX PRITCHARD. HI EVERYBODY. I'M NOT A RESIDENT OF INDIANTOWN, BUT I'M A BUSINESS OWNER AND I TRAVEL THROUGH INDIANTOWN EVERY DAY. I OWN A SMALL COW CALF OPERATION AND I'VE BEEN HERE LAST NIGHT DURING THE PLANNING BOARD AND I WAS ALSO HERE TONIGHT. I LET EVERYONE SPEAK, LET EVERYONE DO THEIR THING. I'VE NOTICED LOOKING AROUND THE ROOM, YOU GUYS ARE ALL ABOUT GROWTH AND I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT WHEN I SAW THAT MAP, I DIDN'T SEE GROWTH. I SAW A SLASHING OF AGRICULTURE. THAT IS ALSO GROWTH IN A STATE THAT WE DON'T HAVE AS MUCH IN IT. AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE AS A COMMUNITY HAVE. AND ONCE IT'S GONE, IT DOESN'T COME BACK. I MEAN, LOOK AT THAT VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN PLAQUE. YOU GUYS HAVE YOUR PREACHING. THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT INDIANTOWN TO BE, BUT THEN YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING ELSE. I'M JUST A BUSINESS OWNER. YOU COULD SAY I DON'T OWN PROPERTY IN THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN, BUT I'M JUST OUTSIDE IT. I MEAN, I'M RIGHT ON THE OUTSKIRTS. I WAS LOOKING TO BUILD A HOME. NOW I DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO LIVE IN INDIANTOWN NOW. WOW. I'M. I'M A RESIDENT OF PALM BEACH COUNTY. I WAS WILLING TO MOVE HERE BECAUSE WHAT I SAW IS SOMETHING I WANTED. BUT ARE WE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE ELDERS AND HAVE THESE MEETINGS? IF THE VOICE OF THE PUBLIC DOESN'T MATTER IF THE DECISION WAS MADE BEFORE WE EVEN CAME HERE, LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, THAT'S JUST MY $0.02. AND I RESPECT YOUR GUYS'S DECISION. I'M NOT IN YOUR SEAT. BUT DO WITH IT, AS YOU MAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THAT'S IT. OKAY. ANY
