[00:05:04]

SO THERE'S A NEW 50 ACRE COMMERCIAL MIXED USE AREA. IT'S NEW IN THAT IT'S ALREADY THERE AND ON THE SITE. AND THE APPLICANT AGENT IS GOING TO PROVIDE SOME GRAPHICS THAT WILL PROBABLY HELP VISUALLY EXPLAIN IT BETTER THAN JUST HAVING SOME WORDS ON A PAGE. BUT WHAT I'M SUMMARIZING IS THERE'S A NEW 50 ACRE COMMERCIAL MIXED USE AREA WHERE THE FIRE STATION WILL BE, AND IT WILL ALSO HAVE 100,000FT■S OF. AND THIS IS IN PHASE SIX, 100,000FT■S OF COMMERCIAL MIXED USE AND UP TO 28 MULTIFAMILY UNITS. WHEREAS BEFORE THAT WAS AN AREA THAT JUST DEPICTED THE WETLANDS AND HAD SOME OF THE ACCESS WITHIN THAT. ADJACENT TO THAT PARCEL, THERE'S REDISTRIBUTION OF SOME OF THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS, AND BY THAT, IT THERE ARE MULTIPLE PHASES. AND WHAT THE APPLICANT'S DONE IS JUST MOVED, SHIFTED AROUND SOME OF THE NUMBERS AND THE PRODUCT TYPES WITHIN THOSE EXISTING PHASES. SO THAT AND THEN THEY'VE GOT THE 28 MULTIFAMILY UNITS WITHIN PHASE SIX. ONE OF THE ELEMENTS THEY'RE ALSO DOING IS INTERNAL

[00:10:02]

BUT VERY CLEAR ON THIS, IT DOESN'T EXTEND THE BOUNDARY OF THE TERRA LAGO PUD. NEXT SLIDE AND PHASE SIX. I JUST EMPHASIS ON THIS WAS THE 100,000FT■S. THAT'S ADDITIONAL TO THE 100,000FT■S THAT WAS APPROVED AS PART OF THE OVERALL PUD MASTER SITE PLAN. SO THEY ARE ADDING AN ADDITIONAL 100,000FT■S IN THAT PHASE SIX AS PART OF THE COMMERCIAL AND MIXED USE AND FIRE STATION, THERE'S A 28 UNITS OF TOWNHOMES THAT ARE GOING WITHIN THAT PHASE SIX, AND THERE'S A TOTAL OF 200,000FT■S OF COMMERCIAL AS AN ENTITLEMENT ACROSS THE ENTIRE PUD. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR AND FIRE STATION. WE GOT INTO IT A LITTLE BIT IN THE SUMMARY, BUT THIS IS A PROPOSED FIRE STATION. OBVIOUSLY, IT'S GOING TO BENEFIT THE WIDER COMMUNITY AND IT'S GOING TO SERVE THE EXISTING LOCAL COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL USES. THE AREAS THAT SURROUND THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND TERRA LARGA ITSELF. SO IT'S GOING TO BE A IT'S CONSIDERABLE BENEFIT TO THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN AND TO THE COMMUNITY. IT'S WITHIN A LOGICAL TRANSITION BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL AND ARTERIAL ROADS.

AND THAT'S FROM WITHIN. AND THEN ADJACENT TO IT'S MAINLY VACANT LAND WITH A FEW SMALL RESIDENTIAL AREAS. BUT IT'S, IT'S BASICALLY ADJACENT TO AND BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL AND ARTERIAL CORRIDOR. AND BY THAT, THERE'S AN ARTERIAL, THERE'S A COLLECTOR ROAD, WHICH IS ALLAPATTAH AND THAT SERVES THE LOCAL COMMUNITY ALREADY. IT SUPPORTS THE INTERNAL CAPTURE OF TRIPS AND SERVICES AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE VILLAGE GROWTH PATTERNS. FROM A PUBLIC SAFETY POINT OF VIEW, A FIRE STATION MAKES SENSE. IT ADDRESSES A VERY MUCH DEMONSTRATED PUBLIC SAFETY NEED WITHIN THE VILLAGE SITE IS CLEARLY IDENTIFIED AND RESERVED WITHIN THE MASTER PLAN SERVES THE BROADER VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN COMMUNITY AND IT'S SUPPORTED BY MARTIN COUNTY AS THE FIRE REVIEWER. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. THIS IS JUST EMPHASIS ON HABITAT PRESERVATION IS UNCHANGED. OUR VILLAGE ENVIRONMENTAL EXPERT HAS REVIEWED THE APPLICATION MATERIALS AND WAS A COMPLY. AND THAT'S IN A SLIDE IN A MOMENT.

BUT THIS IS JUST REMINDING YOU OF THE PRESERVATION AND THE WETLANDS AND THE LAKES AND THE TRAILS AND POCKET PARTS THAT WILL REMAIN INTACT WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT. YOU KNOW, IT WON'T BE IMPACTED BY THE SIXTH AMENDMENT. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS JUST A SUMMARY OF THE MAIN POLICY REVIEW. IT WAS INCLUDED IN THE STAFF REPORT. I'M NOT GOING TO READ IT OUT IN FULL. BUT IT DISCOURAGES URBAN SPRAWL. IT PROVIDES URBAN SERVICES AND IT'S ECONOMICALLY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WISE. IT PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR EMPLOYMENT AND SERVICES. RETAIL WITHIN INDIAN TOWN. ADDITIONAL RETAIL WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS WAS JUST A SUMMARY OF THE DRC DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COLLEAGUES REVIEW STATUS.

EVERYBODY WAS A COMPLY. THEY'RE REQUIRED TO BE COMPLY AHEAD OF SCHEDULING THESE PUBLIC HEARINGS. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND STAFF FINDINGS. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS CONSISTENT WITH THE VILLAGE COMP PLAN. IT MAINTAINS THE APPROVED DEVELOPMENT INTENSITY AND DENSITY LIMITS. IT'S NOT EXCEEDING WHAT'S BEEN APPROVED FROM THAT 20 YEAR PLUS PROJECT.

PUBLIC BENEFIT IS OBVIOUSLY FIRE STATION AND SOME ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL USES.

LOGICAL EVOLUTION THE AMENDMENT PRESENTS A LOGICAL EVOLUTION OF AN APPROVED PUD. IT'S BRINGING IT UP TO DATE AND BRINGING SOME OF THOSE ESSENTIAL SERVICES AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRAFFIC.

IT WAS REVIEWED BY OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER AND ALSO OUR VILLAGE ENGINEER, AND BASICALLY ANY IMPACTS RELATING TO A RESERVATION AND CAPACITY OR ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE

[00:15:01]

AFTER THIS, THE NEXT STEP IS THE IS THE FINAL SITE PLAN AND THEN BUILDING PERMITS. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO THE APPROVAL RECOMMENDATIONS ARE THERE AND INCLUDED IN THE AND THE STAFF REPORT. IT REFLECTS THE EXHIBIT D, WHICH IS THE MASTER PLAN. AND THE PHASING PLAN IS EXHIBIT E AND UPDATED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. THEY'VE BEEN REVIEWED AND FOUND ACCEPTED BY DEVELOPMENT REVIEW STAFF. THE FIRE STATION SITE IS CLEARLY IDENTIFIED AND RESERVED WITH THE MASTER PLAN. THE PHASE SIX DEVELOPMENT COMPLIES WITH CONCURRENCY REQUIREMENTS AT THIS STAGE IN THE MASTER PLAN REVIEW, AND PROVIDES TRAFFIC AND ANALYSIS AT THE FINAL SITE PLAN STAGE, MODIFYING MODIFICATIONS TO THE UNIT DISTRIBUTION AND THE NUMBERS DOES NOT EXCEED THE 2500 CAP AND FINAL ENGINEERING, ACCESS AND INFRASTRUCTURE DETAILS WILL BE REVIEWED AT SITE PLAN STAGE AND ALL THE CONDITIONS. PRIOR ZONING AGREEMENTS REMAIN IN EFFECT UNLESS SUPERSEDED BY THIS SIX AMENDMENT. THE PD ZONING AGREEMENT WAS INCLUDED IN THE PACKET. THERE WAS SOME STRIKE FOR AN UNDERLYING TO SHOW YOU WHERE THE CHANGES WERE.

I BELIEVE I'M AT THE END OF MY PRESENTATION. I'M HAPPY TO HAVE QUESTIONS, BUT WE ALSO HAVE THE APPLICANT HERE WHO WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT MORE VISUAL. AND I BELIEVE JOSH MAY BE SPEAKING TOO. SO THAT'S THE END OF MY PRESENTATION. WE TRIED TO MAKE IT PRETTIER THIS WEEK. SO LESS BORING PLANNING STUFF. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU GOT ANY QUESTIONS? WE'RE GOOD WITH THE APPLICANT. OKAY. THANK YOU. YOU DO. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I HAVE SEVERAL QUESTIONS ACTUALLY IN COMMENTS. FOR THE RECORD, AS I REVIEW THIS AMENDMENT TO THE PUD, THE MEMO SAYS THAT THE AMENDMENT WILL MODIFY DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, UPDATE THE MASTER PLAN, AND REFINE PROJECT PHASING WITHOUT INCREASING THE APPROVED RESIDENTIAL CAP. THE FACT THAT THE RESIDENTIAL CAP IS NOT INCREASING DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MEAN THAT THERE ARE NO IMPACTS. IF THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, MASTER PLAN AND PHASING ARE CHANGING, THEN CIRCULATION, INFRASTRUCTURE TIMING, COMPATIBILITY AND PUBLIC SAFETY MAY STILL BE AFFECTED. I WANT TO START WITH. I WANT TO START WITH THE CHARACTERIZATION OF THIS AS A MINOR AMENDMENT. FROM WHAT I'M SEEING, THIS INCLUDES THE REMOVAL OF PLANNED ROADWAY AND PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS, ALONG WITH CHANGES TO LOT CONFIGURATION AND PHASING.

THOSE ELEMENTS DIRECTLY AFFECT CIRCULATION AND LONG TERM FUNCTIONALITY. SO I WOULD LIKE TO ASK STAFF TO CLARIFY WHAT CRITERIA ARE BEING USED TO DEFINE THIS AS MINOR. THIS IS NOT A MINOR. THIS IS A AMENDMENT TO THE PUD MASTER SITE PLAN. SO IT'S NOT A MINOR.

IT'S A IT'S A PHASE SIX AMENDMENT TO THE PD ZONING AGREEMENT WITH A MASTER PHASING TIMETABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. THAT'S THE APPLICATION IS NOT A MINOR SITE PLAN ON THE TABLE RIGHT NOW, BUT AN INFORMATION THAT WAS PRODUCED. IT IT DEFINED IT AS MINOR. THE MEAN MINOR 400 AND SOMETHING PAGES. YEAH. IT DEFINED IT AS MINOR. THAT'S WHY I CAME UP WITH THE QUESTION. THERE MAY BE A TYPO, BUT THIS IS NOT A MINOR SITE PLAN APPLICATION. OKAY, SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO REVIEW THAT BECAUSE IT DEFINITELY SAID THAT REGARDING THE REMOVAL OF THE POSSIBLE FUTURE ROADWAY AND PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS, EVEN IF THOSE ARE LABELED AS FUTURE, THEY ARE PART OF THE APPROVED MASTER PLAN FRAMEWORK THAT INFORMS CIRCULATION, EMERGENCY ACCESS AND OVERALL INTEGRATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT. CAN STAFF CONFIRM WHETHER THE ORIGINAL TRAFFIC AND CIRCULATION ANALYSIS ASSUMED THOSE CONNECTIONS WOULD BE ULTIMATELY WOULD ULTIMATELY BE IN PLACE? THE THE CONNECTIONS HAVE NOT BEEN REMOVED. THE CONNECTIONS ARE IN PLACE. THERE'S BEEN A REALIGNMENT OF A ROAD GARCIA DRIVE, BUT THIS IS A MASTER SITE PLAN. SO THE FINAL SITE PLAN WILL PROVIDE ALL OF THE INTERNAL ROADWAYS, DRIVEWAYS JUST LIKE YOU SEE IN PHASE ONE A AND ONE B. AS THE ROADS ARE BEING CONSTRUCTED, THE SIDEWALKS ARE BEING PROVIDED. AT THIS STAGE IN A MASTER PLAN, YOU DON'T PROVIDE THE DETAIL OF PEDESTRIAN ACCESS, BUT IT'S REQUIRED AT FINAL SITE PLAN. SO WE'RE NOT REMOVING THAT. AND THE APPLICANT IS NOT REQUESTED TO MOVE THAT. AS PART OF THE PUD REVISED PUD SIX AMENDMENT. THAT'S NOT ON THE TABLE TONIGHT. OKAY. AGAIN, MY QUESTIONS WERE BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT WE WERE PROVIDED. SO NEXT. SO IF THOSE CONNECTIONS WELL YOU SAID IT'S NOT BEING REMOVED. OKAY. GIVEN THE CHANGES, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK, HAS FIRE RESCUE OR EMERGENCY SERVICES REVIEWED THE SPECIFIC REVISION, NOT JUST THE ORIGINAL PLAN THEY'VE REVIEWED THERE? AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW, COLLEAGUES FIRE OUR REVIEW REVIEWER AND THEY'RE A COMPLY. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND IS THERE A WRITTEN CONFIRMATION ON THE

[00:20:03]

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. OH, ONE MORE THING. SORRY. I FORGOT TO MENTION AFTER THE PLEDGE THAT IF YOU DO WANT TO MAKE A PUBLIC COMMENT, LARONDA, THE CLERK WILL HAVE THE COMMENT CARDS YOU CAN FILL OUT. SORRY, I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT EARLIER. NO PROBLEM. YOU'RE A LITTLE. YOU'RE A LITTLE SHORTER THAN I. HELLO. NICE TO MEET YOU ALL. MY NAME IS ERICA BEUTLER.

I'M WITH AJ DESIGN STUDIO AND I'M THE AGENT FOR THE APPLICANT. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING. AND THANK YOU, STAFF FOR YOUR DETAILED, THOROUGH REVIEW AND PRESENTATION. YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO PROVIDED ON THE SCREEN IS A COMPARATIVE OVERLAY OF THE APPROVED MASTER PHASING PLAN SHOWN IN BLACK AND WHITE. AND THEN THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT SHOWN IN RED. AND WITH THE ADDITION OF PHASE SIX. LET'S START ON THE WEST SIDE BY ALLAPATTAH. IT PROMPTED THIS AMENDMENT, AND THERE WAS A NEED FOR A FIRE STATION IN INDIANTOWN. AN ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL MIXED USES TO SUPPORT THE NEED OF THIS GROWING COMMUNITY. WITH THIS ADDITIONAL PHASE, WE HAD TO REDISTRIBUTE THE LOTS. AS DINA HAS MENTIONED, THROUGH PHASES TWO THROUGH FIVE, THERE IS A TABLE THAT IS CORRELATING THE CHANGES IN RED WITH THE PHASES. I DON'T KNOW IF I HAD TO GO THROUGH THE NUMBERS, BUT THROUGH PHASE TWO WE WE CHANGED FROM 262 TO 464, 84 AND PHASE 3 TO 369. AND THEN PHASE FOUR AND FIVE ARE A LITTLE LESS OF AN ADJUSTMENT, WITH 364 GOING TO 303 AND 280 TO 230. AND AS MENTIONED, THE PHASE SIX IS REQUESTING AN ADDITIONAL 100,000 SQUARE FOOT COMMERCIAL MIXED USE, AS WELL AS 28 APARTMENT CONDO UNITS THAT ARE WITHIN THAT OVERALL THRESHOLD.

ADDITIONALLY, THE ROADWAY ROADWAY ALIGNMENT OF GARCIA DRIVE WAS ADJUSTED JUST CENTRALIZED LOCATION. SO MISS MILLIE, THE THE ADJUSTMENT WAS AT BETWEEN PHASE FOUR AND FIVE TO THE WEST OF THAT BIG WETLAND. YES. YES, MA'AM. SO THAT WAS THE MAIN FRAMEWORK THAT WAS ADJUSTED IN TERMS OF THE ARTERIAL ROAD OF THE OVERALL COMMUNITY AT THIS MASTER PLAN LEVEL, IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THESE CHANGES, AGAIN, DIDN'T GO OVER THE APPROVED RESIDENTIAL CAP OF 2500 UNITS. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO SHOWN HERE IS A MODIFIED MASTER

[00:25:10]

ALSO, AS MENTIONED BEFORE IN STAFF PRESENTATION, HABITAT PRESERVATION REMAINS THE SAME AS WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND HERE'S JUST A DETAIL AREA OF WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THE CHANGES. AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE ARE WELL IN CONSTRUCTION WITH PHASE ONE A AND ONE B. SO THE THE OF THIS AMENDMENT IS FOR THE REMAINING PHASES WITH THE ADDITION OF PHASE SIX. IN SUMMARY, WITH THE ADDITION OF THIS, PHASE SIX WILL BE ABLE TO IMPROVE MUCH NEEDED PUBLIC BENEFIT OF A FIRE STATION, ADDRESSING A DEMONSTRATED PUBLIC SAFETY NEED AND SERVING THE BROADER VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN COMMUNITY. THE 50 ACRES OF THE PROPOSED COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR WITHIN PHASE SIX IS LOGICAL TRANSITION BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL AND ARTERIAL CORRIDOR OF ALLAPATTAH SUPPORTS INTERNAL CAPTURE OF TRIPS AND SERVICES AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE VILLAGE'S GROWTH PATTERNS. THE REDISTRIBUTION OF THOSE RESIDENTIAL UNITS WITHIN PHASES TWO THROUGH FIVE ARE THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED, AND TO MAINTAIN THE NATURE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH IS IN. IN ALL CONNECTIVITY, WALKABILITY, THAT COMMUNITY SENSE NOTHING OF THAT NATURE WILL BE CHANGING, AND THOSE WILL BE THOROUGHLY LOOKED AT AND FINAL SITE PLAN FOR EACH PHASE. AND WITH THIS AMENDMENT REQUEST, WE CONFIRM THAT THERE'S NO ADVERSE IMPACT TO THE OVERALL MASTER PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED AND NO OVERALL INTENSITY OF THE DEVELOPMENT. AND OUR TEAM APPRECIATES YOUR CONSIDERATION AND RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL. AND WE'RE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. SO THANK YOU. I HAVE A QUESTION. YES, MA'AM. I'M SORRY. JOSH, YOU YOU WERE GOING TO SAY, OKAY, I HAVE A QUESTION.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT THE REFINEMENT OF INTERNAL ROADWAY ALIGNMENT MEANS? YES, MA'AM. SO CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE THE SECOND SLIDE, PLEASE? REALLY IT'S THE ORIGINAL WAS MORE CURVED TO, YOU KNOW, GIVE SOME INTEREST TO THE ROAD. YES. THANK YOU. I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE VANNA WHITE BUT. YES. SO THAT THAT RED LINE THERE, IT'S MORE JUST BIFURCATING CENTRALLY THROUGH THE PROPOSED PHASE SIX, WHICH IS ALSO BETTER DISTRIBUTION AWAY FROM, YOU KNOW, INDIAN WOOD GOLF COURSE AND AS WELL AS THE NEIGHBORING NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NORTH. SO WAS THAT ADDED? THAT'S NOT ADDED. IT WAS JUST REALIGNED. SO SO INSTEAD OF HAVING A CURVE AND A TANGENT, A TANGENT, WE'RE JUST HAVING A STRAIGHT LINE TODAY THAT STOPS HERE. THERE IS NO ROAD HERE CONSTRUCTED TO THAT. SO AS GARCIA DRIVES CONTINUES TO BE CONSTRUCTED, AS THE PHASES MOVE TO THE WEST, IT WOULD STRAIGHTEN OUT HERE INSTEAD OF THIS CURVATURE HERE.

OKAY. THANK YOU. YES. AND THAT WAS DONE BY OUR SURVEYOR, OUR TEAM SURVEYOR AS WELL AS OUR ENGINEERS WHO LOOKED AT IT AT MASTER PLAN LEVEL AND ALSO FOR THE FUTURE FOR OUR FINAL PHASE SITE PLANS. YES, MA'AM. DO YOU WANT TO OPEN IT UP FOR BOARD DISCUSSION IF I CAN. YES. THANK YOU ALL. AWESOME. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. MADAM VICE CHAIR MEMBERS. WOW. I DON'T KNOW.

WHEN I LOOKED AT THAT TIMELINE, I LEANED BACK TO KEVIN POWERS AND I SAID, YOU KNOW, WASN'T IT 2005 WHEN THIS WAS ORIGINALLY BROUGHT FORWARD? AND HE SAID, YEAH, IT WAS. AND HERE WE SIT TODAY IN 2026. I THINK WE BOUGHT THIS PROPERTY IN 2020, RIGHT WHEN COVID STRUCK. WHAT A GREAT TIME TO BUY PROPERTY WHEN THE STATE WAS SHUTTING DOWN AND NO GROWTH WAS GOING TO HAPPEN IN FLORIDA. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, AS YOU ALL RECALL AND SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING TO MEMBERS OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN AND ONE OF THE NUMBER ONE NEEDS AT THAT TIME. AND, MAYOR, YOU WERE A CATALYST TO HELPING MOVE THIS PROJECT FORWARD. BUT REALLY, WHAT YOU HELPED MOVE FORWARD WAS WHAT THE PEOPLE OF INDIANTOWN WANTED, AND THAT WAS RESIDENCES. THEY WANTED HOUSES.

THEY WANTED TO BE ABLE TO GROW A FAMILY HERE AND THEN NOT LOSE THEIR KIDS TO MOVING TO

[00:30:08]

DINA, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION AND ERICA, YOURS AS WELL. WE HAVE REALLY ENJOYED BEING A PART OF THIS COMMUNITY AND ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO BE A PART OF THIS COMMUNITY FOR, FOR A VERY LONG TIME, OUTLASTING MYSELF. I HAVE A QUESTION, IF I MAY. YES, SIR.

IS THE LOCATION, THE LAND THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO BE ON? IS THAT BEEN DONATED BY YOU ALL TO? YES, SIR. YES. THERE YOU GO. YEAH, WE'LL BE DONATING RIGHT THERE. DONATING THE LAND TO TO MARTIN COUNTY, WHICH WILL THEN HOUSE THE FIRE STATION. AND THE TOTAL SIZE OF THAT LAND, I THINK IS AROUND 5 TO 7 ACRES OF PROPERTY. WOW. YES. YES, MA'AM. TO KIND OF BUILD ON THAT AND A QUESTION, FIRST OF ALL, SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT LIGHTER. THE COMMERCIAL ON THAT SIDE THAT'S IN ADDITION TO THE COMMERCIAL THAT'S ALONG 710. YES, MA'AM. AND IT AS PART OF THAT. SO THIS IS GREAT. WE COULD TALK FOR HOURS ABOUT THIS. AS WE KNOW, FROM THE MINUTE WE HIT THE BOTTOM OF THE BRIDGE UNTIL WE GET TO 609, WHICH IS REALLY THE ENTIRE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN AS IT SITS FROM A COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR STANDPOINT, THERE'S THERE'S NOT A LOT. AND AS THE VILLAGE GROWS LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, WHERE COULD OTHER COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS LAND THAT COMPLEMENT, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE THE GOLF COURSE FROM THE PROPERTY ON THE CORNER OF 609 AND 710. AND THEN AS YOU RUN NORTH UP 609, YOU HAVE COMMERCIAL GOLF COURSE. AND THEN YOU WERE LANDING BACK INTO OUR RESIDENTIAL. AND SO REALLY SITTING DOWN WITH OUR LAND PLANNERS AND SAYING, WHERE COULD WE CREATE MORE COMMERCIAL? BECAUSE THIS LITTLE 15 ACRES THAT WE HAVE IN THE LITTLE BIT ALONG 710 IS GOING TO RUN OUT PRETTY QUICKLY AS BUSINESSES GROW HERE IN THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN. SO THAT'S WHY WE CAME FORWARD TO, TO YOU ALL AT THE VILLAGE TO SAY, HEY, HERE'S, HERE'S A VIABLE PIECE THAT KNOWING WHAT WE KNOW FROM THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHASE ONE AND HOW THE LOTS HAVE LAID OUT, STILL BEING ABLE TO PRESERVE 50% OF OUR PROPERTY IN PRESERVATION OR IN WETLANDS, WHICH IN ITSELF IS A MONUMENTAL TASK. AND THEN BEING ABLE TO FIT THE SAME AMOUNT OF LOTS AND FIT SOME ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL MADE US VERY HAPPY THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO THAT. BUT WE COULDN'T FORESEE THAT WHEN WE FIRST LAID OUT THIS, THIS COMMUNITY. AND NOW THAT WE'VE ACTUALLY, IN THE MIDST OF DEVELOPING IT, IT'S OPENED UP OUR EYES TO BE ABLE TO THINK A LITTLE MORE CREATIVELY. AND THE PROGRESSION OF THINGS, IT IS IT IS ENCOURAGED. I WAS ENCOURAGED TO SEE THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY CHANGES TO THE NUMBER OF LAKES AND THE SIZE OF THE LAKES THAT YOU HAVE. SO. YES, MA'AM.

YEAH, THOSE ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO US. AND I KNOW THEY'VE BEEN VERY IMPORTANT TO MEMBERS OF

[00:35:03]

WIDENING IS ALREADY BEEN FULLY FUNDED AND SIGNED OFF ON. YES. FANTASTIC. YES. SO YES, THAT'S ENCOURAGING TO MY HEART BECAUSE THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THAT I HAD OUT THERE. SO BUT MY, IF A FIRE STATION GOES IN THERE ON 609, A LIGHT IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE NEEDED THERE. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR OUT THAT FIRE STATION BUILDOUT IS, BUT I WOULD ENCOURAGE. HOWEVER, IT'S ALL POSSIBLE. I KNOW THAT OUR SHERIFF BUDENSIEK HAS STEPPED UP AND HE HAS REALLY TRIED TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THAT. 710 BUT I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE VILLAGE AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, TERRA LAGO AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING. AND ALSO, I KNOW, FIRE RESCUE, THAT THAT LIGHT HAS TO GO IN FOR FIRE RESCUE TO BE ABLE BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU GET OUT THERE ON 609 TRYING TO GET ON 710, AND IT BACKS UP ALL THE WAY TO INDIAN WOOD. YEAH. SO ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO PUSH THAT LIGHT FORWARD, TO GET THAT INSTALLED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, YOU KNOW, BY BYPASS SOMEHOW THOSE TWO, THOSE TWO ALREADY SCHEDULED. PROJECTS, YOU KNOW, TO JUST GET THAT LIGHT IN. YES. BECAUSE IF THAT LIGHTS IN, I KNOW FIRE RESCUE, THEY'VE GOT THE LITTLE THING THAT, YOU KNOW, THE LIGHT WILL CHANGE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET THROUGH. AND I KNOW THAT'S A, THAT'S A CONCERN IN BOOKER PARK ALSO BECAUSE OF THE SITUATION WHERE THE FIRE STATION IS AND GETTING OVER TO BOOKER PARK, WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER IMPEDIMENT IN, IN GETTING AND GETTING THOSE PERSONNEL THERE. SO ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO HELP PUSH THAT FORWARD, I THINK WOULD, WOULD BE GREAT. THAT'S MY ONLY THAT'S MY ONLY THING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THAT 609 I LOOK FORWARD TO THE COMMERCIAL BECAUSE I THINK INDIANTOWN. THAT'S ONE THING THAT INDIANTOWN IS LOOKING FORWARD TO IS THE ADDITION OF THAT. AND I THINK THE GOOD THING IS, IS IN PROGRESSION OF, OF, OF DEVELOPMENT OF TERRA LAGO, THAT THE NEXT PHASE IS THE CONNECTIVITY TO 609. AND SO EVEN WHEN THE FIRE STATION DOES GET CONSTRUCTED THERE, WHICH HOPEFULLY IS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BUT THEY'LL BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY UTILIZE GARCIA DRIVE TO COME THROUGH TO ACTUALLY ACCESS THE EASTERN PART OF, OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN AS AN ALTERNATIVE, WHICH WE'VE NEVER HAD AN ALTERNATIVE, RIGHT. THAT'S ACTUALLY BEEN EASILY ACHIEVABLE. I KNOW YOU CAN MOVE THROUGH INDIAN WOOD COMMUNITY, BUT IT'S, IT'S MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT. YEAH. SO THANK YOU.

WELL, YOU BROUGHT THE POINT, SUSAN. AND THE ONE THING WE'VE ALWAYS HAD THE SCARE OF IS, IS IF A TRAIN STOPS, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT COULD BE ON THE OTHER SIDE, COULD BE IN THE BOOK OF PARK AREA. YES. AND NO WAY TO GET BACK. NOW WE HAVE ANOTHER LIFELINE. SO THAT'S A MAJOR, BIG, BIG PLUS FOR THE COMMUNITY. YEAH. I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. YES, MA'AM. IS THERE ANTICIPATION OF A RED LIGHT GOING IN ON ALLAPATTAH WHERE GARCIA DRIVE WILL OPEN UP TO 609? OR IS THAT STILL. I THINK WE WOULD LOVE. YEAH, I MEAN, IT'S DEFINITELY OPEN FOR DISCUSSION. I THINK WE YOU KNOW, AS A LARGER MASTER PLANNING OF THE OVERALL VILLAGE, I THINK THAT THAT 609 CORRIDOR FROM THE EDGE OF THE THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN BOUNDARY, WHICH IS OUR PROPERTY LINE BOUNDARY AS WELL, I THINK, OR AT LEAST WHERE IT HITS 609 IT IS, AND BACK INTO 710 AS. LOOKING AT FUTURE PLANNING FOR THE VILLAGE AND AND ROAD WORK, I THINK THAT THAT DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE A, AN AREA TO FOCUS ON, WHETHER IT'S A WIDENING OF THAT ROAD TO GO TO FOUR LANES FROM FROM VILLAGE BOUNDARY LINE TO 710 AS PART OF THIS OVERALL WIDENING OF 710, YOU KNOW, MOVING NORTH OR WEST OF TOWN? YEAH, I THINK THAT 609 IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE AS MORE HOMES ARE FILLED. YES, THE COMMERCIAL IS BUILT, WHICH IF YOU IT SAYS THIS SUBMITTAL DATE IS LIKE 2028, CORRECT? RIGHT. SO WHY THEN YOU'LL PROBABLY HAVE MORE HOMES FILLED. YOU'LL HAVE TO DO ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC STUDIES AT THAT POINT. BUT 609

[00:40:04]

IF THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. OH, I'M SO SORRY. I'M SORRY. I'M NEW. SORRY, FOLKS. PUBLIC COMMENT NOW. THANK YOU. IF YOU COULD JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD BEFORE SPEAKING. THANK YOU. WE GOT MISS LINDA NICKUM. FOR THE RECORD. LINDA NICKUM. I DIDN'T THINK I HAD ANYTHING TO SAY, BUT TONIGHT. BUT I HAD A QUESTION. THERE WAS TALK OF RECENTLY, WITHIN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS ABOUT STRAIGHTENING OUT ALLAPATTAH AND HAVING IT COME OUT AND MEETING MLK ON 710, AND THAT IS SOMETHING GOING ON BETWEEN COUNTY AND STATE. I WANT TO KNOW WHERE THE FIRE STATION IS.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY WOULD PLAN ON STRAIGHTENING OUT ALLAPATTAH IN ORDER TO MOVE IT OVER THERE. SO ARE WE LOOKING AT OLD ALLAPATTAH REMAINING AS IT IS, OR IS THERE GOING TO BE A NEW ALLAPATTAH? WHERE'S THE FIRE STATION GOING TO BE IN RELATION TO THESE POTENTIAL CHANGES? SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. IF WE'RE IF WE'RE WE'RE LOOKING AT SEVERAL YEARS DOWN THE ROAD. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANY FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENT? THAT'S IT. NO, MA'AM. OKAY.

THANK YOU. SORRY FOR FORGETTING THAT. SO AT THIS TIME, IF I ENTERTAIN A MOTION, I'LL MOVE FOR STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION. I'LL SECOND THAT. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR, I, I ANY OPPOSED? OKAY. SO BEFORE WE ADJOURN. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU TO THE APPLICANT FOR PRESENTING. BEFORE WE ADJOURN, PLEASE NOTE THAT THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE THE JOINT WORKSHOP BETWEEN THE PLANNING, ZONING AND APPEALS BOARD AND THE VILLAGE COUNCIL ON SATURDAY, MAY 16TH AT 10 A.M. THAT WILL BE AT THE ELIZABETH LADY LIBRARY HERE. AND IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE AS MUCH PUBLIC INPUT AS POSSIBLE. AND, MADAM CHAIR, I JUST WANT TO ANNOUNCE ONE THING. THE APPLICATION THAT WAS BEFORE THE PCAB TONIGHT WILL BE BEFORE THE VILLAGE COUNCIL AT THEIR VILLAGE COUNCIL MEETING ON MAY 14TH AT 6 P.M. HERE IN THESE CHAMBERS. OKAY. THERE'S NO FURTHER BUSIN
