THE DAYCARE WILL EMPLOY THREE FOR STAFF MEMBERS, AND OPERATE BETWEEN 9M AND THREE FAMILY TRANSPORTATION PROVIDED BY THE CENTER. THIS IS A SITE LOCATION IN THE PROPOSED ADULT DAYCARE. WITH THE SITE AREA BEING .71, GIVE OR TAKE ACRES.

THE FUTURE LAND USE IS OP WHICH IS OFFICE PROFESSIONAL AND BUSINESS SERVICES. THE ZONING IS C1 OFFICE COMMERCIAL.

THIS IS THE SITE PLAN FOR YOUR REVIEW. RIGHT HERE IN THE GREEN, AND THE BUILDING ITSELF, THIS IS THE PARKING AREA, AND BACK HERE IS A LITTLE AREA FOR PEOPLE TO RELAX. IT IS SURROUNDED BY TREES AND SHEETED.

THIS IS THE FLOOR PLAN FOR THE ADULT DAY CARE. SAFRA COMMISSIONS FOR THE PLAN BUT TO BOARD APPROVAL FOR THE PROPOSED CONDITIONAL USE, TO MOVE TO CITY COMMISSION WITH ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS BEING A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL WITH ALTERNATE CONDITIONS. OR RECOMMENDATION OF DISAPPROVAL. THANK YOU.> THANK YOU. WOULD YOU EXPLAIN THE

REASON FOR THE CONDITIONAL USE ON THIS? >> AN ADULT DAYCARE IS CONSIDERED A CONDITIONAL USE AND ANY COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICTS.

[00:05:06]

>> THANK YOU. >> YES SIR. >> ANY QUESTIONS BY THE

BOARD FOR STAFF? >> DO WE KNOW HOW MANY ADULT DAYCARE THERE ARE IN

THE AREA SO FAR? >> IN THE AREA, NOT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, I DON'T

KNOW. >> FORT PIERCE IN GENERAL? >> WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT.

>> IS NOT IMPORTANT, I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA THAT THERE IS A ADULT DAY

CARE. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? NOT HEARING ANY I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE MEETING.

IF THE APPLICANT IS HERE LIKE TO SEE THE APPLICANT -- HERE WE GO.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON! >> HOW ARE YOU? >> HIM WONDERFUL.

FOR THE RECORD, TODD -- REPRESENTING THE PROPERTY OWNER FOR THIS CONDITIONAL

USE. >> ANYTHING TO ADD? >> I LIKE TO THANK STAFF OF THE PRESENTATION WE WILL WORK WITH THE APPLICANT ON THIS.

WHAT YOU'RE SEEING AS YOU MENTIONED, THERE ARE NOT A LOT OF ADULT DAYCARE FACILITIES THIS IS ONE WHERE AS WE START TALKING ABOUT THE AGING POPULATION, THE NUMBER OF ELDERLY LOOKING FOR PLACE TO BE ABLE TO GO.

ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE THAT HAVE CAREGIVERS OF STONE HAS A CAREGIVER AND THEY HAVE A SITUATION WHERE THEY ARE NEEDING THE RELIEF AND NEED SOME TYPE OF OPPORTUNITY THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE ABLE TO HAVE. THEY REALLY ARE VERY FEW IN THE COUNTY TODAY, AND SO THIS IS BECOMING MUCH MORE GOING NEED.

WE WORK WITH TWO SEPARATE ONES. ONE WILL BE MIDWAY ROAD AS WELL AS THIS ONE HERE IN THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE. IT WILL BE NICE HAVING IT.

THE ONLY ONE THAT IS AVAILABLE TODAY THAT PEOPLE MAY KNOW OF, IS WHAT IS CALLED ACTIVITY CENTER OF THE TREASURE COAST. THAT IS ONE THAT AGAIN, A LOT OF PEOPLE GO AND THEIR CAREGIVERS AND WANTED TO HAVE A SERVICE THAT BRINGS PEOPLE TO THE FACILITY. DROP THEM OFF FOR THE DAY THEY ARE ABLE TO GET EVERYTHING FROM PARTICIPATING IN ARTS AND CRAFTS, EXERCISE PROGRAMS, THOUGH OFTEN BE PROVIDED WITH A LUNCH AND SNACKS THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

IT IS REALLY KIND OF A NICE, AMENDED TO HAVE AND I THINK AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WE WANT TO HAVE THE ABILITY FOR OUR AGING POPULATION OF SOME TYPE OF OPPORTUNITY, DIFFERENT THAN JUST BEING IN A HOMEBOUND SITUATION WHERE THEY MAY HAVE A CAREGIVER OVERWHELMED AT TIMES AND NEEDS A RELEASE FOR THIS TO BE OPEN FROM 9 TO 5. THOSE WILL BE THE TYPICAL HOURS FOR THESE. SOMETIMES YOU WILL SEE CENTERS OPEN ON WEEKENDS. MANY TIMES, THEY ARE A WEEKLY CENTER.

AS THIS ONE GROWS, THE HOPE TABLE TO HAVE WEEKEND PROVISIONS AS WELL.

ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER. >> QUESTIONS, COMMENTS?

>> THIS IS 9-TO-5 BUT THE APPLICATIONS IS 93. THEY CHANGE HOURS FROM

9-TO-5 WILL HAVE TO COME BACK TO US? >> NO, THEY SHOULDN'T.

BUT IF IS APPROVED FOR NONDEGREE YES, THEY WILL HAVE TO COME BACK.

IF THE PLANET WERE ONCE EXPAND THE HOURS IN VIEW OF THE COMMENTS IT MIGHT BE

APPROPRIATE. >> THAT IS A TYPICAL RANGE FOR MOST ADULT FACILITIES, THAT DO 9-TO-5. 923 IS WHAT THEY HAVE A CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, ORIGINALLY PUT DOWN SHE WAS GOING INTO THIS, THEY ACTUALLY HAVE FIVE OTHER FACILITIES RIGHT NOW BUT THEY WERE ORIGINALLY LOOKING AT IT AND WHEN THEY MET WITH RYAN I THINK THEY SAID REPRESENTATIVE AT 3:00 PM WITH DISCUSSIONS AS WELL THEY UNDERSTAND THAT 5 PM WOULD BE THE NORMAL AL HOURS.

>> STAFF DOES NOT HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO THAT WAS BEING EXPOUNDED.

I THINK IT'S A COMMERCIAL AREA AND WE DON'T SEE SEE ANY.

>> WILL REFER TO THE HOURS, WE ARE REFERRING TO THE ACTUAL HOURS THAT, THAT USERS, CONSUMERS WOULD BE IN THE FACILITY, NOT TO LOCTITE THE HOURS THAT THE

STAFF AT THE FACILITY COULD BE THERE.> CORRECT. >> IF WE ARE TALKING 9-TO-5

, WE'RE TALKING OPEN HOURS OF OPERATION. >> YES.

>> OKAY. I WOULD LIKE OUR BOARD MEMBER TO TRY AND KEEP A MENTAL NOTE OF THAT. IF YOU CHOOSE TO OFFER A MOTION, IT WILL PROBABLY BE A GOOD IDEA TO SUGGEST THAT WE EXTEND THOSE HOURS. AND WE WOULD DO THAT BY ADDING AN ADDITION TO THE APPLICATION, IS THAT CORRECT? OKAY. I REALLY ENJOY -- OTHER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR

COMMENTS? >> I HAVE A COMMENT. I PERSONALLY HAVEN'T USE

[00:10:04]

[LAUGHTER] SO, THAT'S WHY I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE HOURS WHEN HE FIRST SAW THE APPLICATION. AND KEEP A NOTE THAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING THOSE

HOURS. >> YES IT IS A FULLY LICENSED FACILITIES.

LICENSED THROUGH THE STATE. THIS NOT A FLY-BY-NIGHT THAT WANTS TO COME ALONG AND DO THIS. IT'S ALREADY IN THE PROFESSIONAL AREA THAT IS ESTABLISHED. YOU HAVE THE CANCER CENTER UP TO THE NORTH OF THIS.

YOU HAVE QUITE A FEW OF FACILITIES IF YOUR FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA, IT IS A

GREAT AREA. >> IT IS. FANTASTC AREA.

WRITTEN APPLICATION A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO, I DON'T MEMBER THE NAME OF THE STREET, BUT THERE IS A FIREHOUSE OFF OF 25TH STREET AND SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE HOSPITAL AND WHERE THE SCHOOL IS. AND THERE WAS A DAYCARE.

>> THE COUNTY CENTER. >> AN ADULT DAYCARE HAD GONE IN THERE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE STILL IN EXISTENCE. VERY GOOD, ANYTHING ELSE? I PERSONALLY ENJOYED GOING OF THE DOCUMENTS ON THIS PARTICULAR CASE.

I FOUND HERE, I ENJOYED SO MUCH WAS THAT A SET OF DRAWINGS THAT WERE DATED SEPTEMBER 1986, AND WHAT CAUGHT MY ABOUT THE SET OF DRAWINGS, THEY WERE ACTUALLY DONE ON A DRAWING BOARD WITH PENCILS AND BY HAND.

IT WASN'T DONE IN AUTOCAD. AND AUTOCAD AS A MATTER FACT, IS PROBABLY STILL THE CAD PROGRAM OF CHOICE. IT WAS IN HIS INFANCY REALLY.

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 82 TO 86, REALLY HADN'T TAKEN ON AND SET FIRE TO THE INDUSTRY YET. WHEN I GOT THESE DRAWINGS, AND THEY STARTED SITTING DOWN, I REALLY ENJOYED IT AND I SPENT A LOT OF TIME JUST STUDYING THE DRAWINGS, JUST BECAUSE I THOUGHT WAS SO COOL. IF YOU FIND SOME MORE, DON'T BE BASHFUL ABOUT PUTTING THEM IN THE PACKETS.

>> MR. CHAIRMAN, AXA, MIKE -- COMMITTEE MAY KNOW WHO WORKS LOCALLY HERE, HE ACTUALLY DOES ALMOST ALL OF HIS DRAWINGS BY HAND AND THEN HAS A CAD GUY WORK ON THEM. BUT THIS PROCESS BEGAN THEY PURCHASED THE PROPERTY LAST SPRING. WE ARE WORKING WITH MIKE ON ELEMENTS.

THEN LATER REALIZE I HAD TO GO THROUGH THE CONDITION USE PROCESS.

AND SO, THEY'VE BEEN DOING THAT.HEY SPENT A LOT OF TIME MAKING SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS GOOD ON THE END THAT USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER THIS MEETING.

SO, THEY ARE AHEAD OF THE CURVE WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS.

>> THIS WAS, I WAS ALSO PLEASED TO SEE THE SELECTION OF TENANT GOING INTO THE FACILITY.NOTHING IS NEEDED IN THE AREA AND IS A GOOD AREA FOR THEM TO BE IN WITH THE HOSPITAL RIGHT CLOSE BY, A LETTER DOCTOR OFFICES, IT'S A GOOD PLACE FOR THEM. BUT YOU KNOW, I ALMOST FORGOT TO STUDY THE REST OF THE PACKET. [LAUGHTER] OKAY.

ANYTHING ELSE? >> NO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

>> THANK YOU. IS THERE AND ALSO LIKE TO STEP FORWARD AND SPEAK TO THIS PROJECT? NOT SEEING ANY, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE MEETING. AND COME BACK TO THE BOARD FOR ANY FURTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS. NOT HEARING ANY, I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

>> MOTION FOR APPROVAL. WITH EXPANDED HOURS AS DISCUSSED.

>> IS THAT FAIR ENOUGH? >> GOOD. >> OKAY.

>> SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION OF APPROVAL --

>> YOU HAD IT. >> I KNOW. IT HAPPENS TO ME.

I HAVE A VERY SHORT ATTENTION SPAN. A SECOND BY MS. DANIELS.

CALL THE ROLL PLEASE.

[b. Site Plan (Development Review and Design Review) and Conditional Use - Farrell Communities - 2535 S. Kings Highway]

>> GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIRMAN, BOARD MEMBERS.EFORE YOU, WE HAVE A SITE PLAN AND

[00:15:01]

WITH A CLUBHOUSE, POOL, GRUDGES, RECREATIONAL COURTS, AND ASSOCIATED SITE IMPROVEMENTS. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY THE PROXIMALLY 40.77 ACRES.

THE SITE IS SURROUNDED BY VACANT LAND TO THE NORTH, SOUTH AND EAST AND RESIDENTIAL USES IN VACANT LAND TO THE WEST, PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WILL INCLUDE 488 UNITS. THE NEW CLUBHOUSE, GRUDGES, RECREATIONAL COURTS LANDSCAPING, DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS, LIGHTING, PARKING FOR RESIDENTS AND EMPLOYEES. TOTAL IS 109 STANDARD PSPACES WITH 3288 SPACES AND 70 BICYCLE SPACES. PTHE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING APPROVAL CONDITIONAL USE TO BE CONSIDERED AN INNOVATIVE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PER CITY CODE SECTION 125 Ã243 FOR TWO ADDITIONAL UNITS PER ACRE, BRING IT TO A DENSITY TOTAL OF 12 UNITS PER ACRE. BEFORE YOU, ARE THE STANDARD REQUIRED TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE ADDITIONAL TWO ACRES. TWO UNITS PER ACRE.

NUMBER ONE WOULD BE THE LANDSCAPING COMPONENT. THIS PROJECT EXCEEDS THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT BY 13 PERCENT. NUMBER TWO WOULD BE THE SITE PLAN, IS TO PROVIDE A CREATIVE PLACEMENT OF BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES IN TERMS OF THE VISUAL FOCAL POINTS -- FOCAL POINTS USE OF EXISTING PHYSICAL FEATURES SUCH AS TOPOGRAPHY, ORIENTATION, CIRCULATION PATTERN VARIATION IN BUILDING SETBACKS AND/OR BUILDING AND FACILITY GROUPINGS.

THIS SITE DOES, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT DOES FEELS OF THIS PROPOSED SITE PLAN DOES MEET THE STANDARD AND NUMBER THREE, THE DESIGN ELEVATIONS PROVIDED FOR IMAGINATIVE DESIGN FEATURES INCLUDING ARCHITECTURAL STYLES, HARMONIOUS USE OF THE BUILDING MATERIALS, USE OF HOUSING TYPES AND DESIGN ELEMENTS OF THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. THE ARCHITECTURE INCLUDES A MODERN DESIGN, BALCONIES, I'M NOT SURE IF THEY WILL BE PRESENTING THIS IN A SEPARATE PRESENTATION. THESE ARE THE CONDITIONAL USE REVIEW STANDARDS.

THE APPLICANT, THE LOCATION FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED TO THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF RESEARCH ROAD AND SOUTH KINGS HIGHWAY. THE EXISTING FEATURE LAND-USE IS MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL WITH REZONING OF R4, MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL. THIS IS THE SITE PLAN OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

AS YOU CAN SEE, I HAVE HIGHLIGHTED SOME OF THE AMENITIES, SAND, VOLLEYBALL COURT, BASKETBALL COURT, TAUGHT LOT, PICKLE BALL COURTS, TENNIS COURTS DOG PARK AND -- THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE INNOVATIVE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND ALSO, THE WAY THE APPLICANT HAS THE ADDITION OF THE LAKES AND CENTRAL PARK AREA TO THE SOUTH WHILE THE SITE PLAN FOR THE RESIDENCE. BEFORE YOU IS A LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR THE PROPERTY, THE APPLICANT ONCE AGAIN, HAS WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CITY LANDSCAPE CODE WITH SEVERAL TREES AS YOU CAN SEE, 11,306 SHRUB VARIETIES.

AND GROUNDCOVER SHALL INCLUDE SAINT AUGUSTINE. AS PREVIOUS STATED THE RENDERINGS FOR DESIGN WILL BE PRESENTED TO APPLICANTS PRESENTATION FOLLOWING THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT PRESENTATION.EFORE YOU, WE HAVE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, WHICH WE WILL RECOMMEND, NUMBER ONE PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMIT APPROVAL PROVIDE COLORED ELEVATIONS TO DEMONSTRATE THE PROPOSED BUILDING CONFORMS TO THE SPECIFICATIONS OF CITY CODE 125 Ã314, DESIGN REVIEW.

NUMBER TWO, COMPLETION CERTIFICATION BY LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, COST ESTIMATE

[00:20:05]

STAFF RECOMMENDING APPROVAL. NOTING THE RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION IS RECOMMENDED FOR MODIFIED

APPROVAL OR RECOMMEND THIS APPROVAL. >> MR. GILMORE, THIS IS A CONDITIONAL USE, THE INNOVATIVE DESIGN THAT ALLOWED THE TWO EXTRA

UNITS, IS THAT CORRECT? >> CORRECT. >> I HAD A SECOND QUESTION FOR YOU.ERE WE GO. I TOLD YOU I HAVE A SHORT, SHORT WINDOW HERE.

DID WE SEE THIS PROPERTY FOR A ZONING AND OR -- THIS HAS BEEN IN FORT PIERCE.

>> YES.> I ASKED THAT BECAUSE THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHY WE NEED TO DO, TO CONTINUE OUR EFFORT TO SQUARE OFF OUR PROPERTY LINES.

THIS LOT, FORT PIERCE, ONE NEXT TO IT IS COUNTY AND ANOTHER ONE OVERHEARS COUNTY. WE ALSO HAVE LOT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS, A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT WE RECENTLY APPROVED. AND AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THERE IS A RED LIGHT I BELIEVE, BEING WORKED ON, THE PLAN IS BEING WORKED ON WITH DOT FOR THE CORNER OF -- ROAD AND KINGS HIGHWAY WHICH IS DIRECTLY THE SAME INTERSECTION. THE ROAD NAME CHANGES. I WOULD EXPECT THAT IN LIGHT OF THAT INTERSECTION BEING THERE, EVENTUALLY, WITH THE RED LIGHT, THAT MAY BECOME THE MAIN INGRESS AND EGRESS IN AND OUT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.

AND IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE THE DESIGN IS SHOWING THE MAIN INGRESS AND INGRESS TO THE DEVELOPMENT ON KINGS HIGHWAY. I JUST WANT TO BRING THAT UP SO THAT AS THE APPLICANT COMES UP AND DOES THEIR PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION, PERHAPS, THEY CAN SPEAK TO THAT. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY

COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? >> WAIT FOR THE APPLICANT. >> WAIT FOR APPLICANT.

FAIR ENOUGH! WITH THAT I OPEN THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE MEETING AND ASKED THE APPLICANT TO STEP FORWARD. I WILL TELL YOU, THIS PROJECT KIND OF CAUGHT ME BLINDSIDED A LITTLE BIT. MOSTLY BECAUSE I THINK I MISSED A COUPLE OF MEETINGS RECENTLY. AND I WASN'T PREPARED WHEN THIS THING HIT THIS BUNDLE HIT MY DESK. I CAUGHT UP AS FAST AS I

COULD. >> HOPE WE CAN CATCH YOU UP A LITTLE BIT MORE IN THIS PRESENTATION. FOR THE RECORD MY NAME IS MICHAEL SANCHEZ, MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THANK YOU FOR HAVING US TODAY, IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE HERE WITH YOU. I AM WITH FARRELL COMMUNITIES.

I RECEIVED LAND ENTITLEMENT AND DEVELOP FOR FLORIDA PART OF SOME A CERTIFIED LAND PLANNER. THANK YOU TO STAFF ALL THE HARD WORK WE REALLY ENJOYED DOING BUSINESS IN THE CITY. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PROJECT FOR US.

WE WANT TO TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO TELL YOU A LITTLE ABOUT OURSELVES AND GO THROUGH THE PROJECT AT A LITTLE COLOR TO THE PROJECT BEYOND WHEN IT WAS PRESENTED WE DO IN ALL FAIRNESS, WE HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL COLOR GRAPHICS THAT WERE NOT AVAILABLE IN THE PACKAGES WENT OUT. WE'LL SEE NEW STUFF HERE BUT NO CHANGES IN THE DESIGN. WE TRY TO KEEP IT RELATIVELY BRIEF. MR. GILMORE WENT OVER THE SUBJECT REQUEST SO I WILL NOT REPEAT THAT. JUST A LITTLE ABOUT FARRELL COMMUNITIES.

THEY STARTED ABOUT THREE DECADES AGO IN BRIDGEHAMPTON NEW YORK UNDER FARRELL BILLING COMPANY. THEY BUILT HIGH-END, SECOND HOMES FOR THE WELL-HEELED OF NEW YORK AND THE HAMPTONS.

THERE THE PREMIER BUILDER UP IN THE HAMPTONS AREA, WE HAVE OVER 450 HOMES IN THE

[00:25:03]

WITH RESPECT TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES, THIS PROPERTY ON THE NORTHEAST PORTION, NORTHEAST PORTION OF OUR SITE, I BELIEVE HAS THE SAME ZONING AND LAND USE. AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT THE ZONING MAPS SPECIFY DO KNOW THAT THERE WAS A LEASE BEFORE, THERE WAS A PLAN TO DO SOME KIND OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TYPE PROJECT ON THAT SITE. I DON'T KNOW THE STATUS OF THAT PEER DOWN AT THE SOUTHWEST IS COMMERCIAL AND THEN TO THE WEST IS COUNTY.

THOSE EAST PROPERTIES ARE IN THE CITY. PROPERTIES BEHIND US ARE IN THE COUNTY. THESE ARE THE COUNTY ZONING MAPS.

LAND USE DESIGNATION IS RU FOR THE PROPERTIES BEHIND US RESIDENTIAL ARBOR WHICH IS FIVE UNITS PER ACRE, THIS IS THE ZONING WHICH IS AR1 ALLOWS ONE UNIT PER ACRE BUT BASICALLY THESE ARE LARGE LOT AGRICULTURAL RESIDENTIAL TYPE LOTS.

THIS PROPERTY DOWN HERE IS OWNED BY ANLLC, THERE'S NOTHING ON IT AND IT LOOKS VERY WET JUST FROM THE AERIAL . THERE'S ONE HOME THAT YOU CAN SEE, WHERE MY CURSOR IS HERE AND THAT IS ABOU 130 FEET FROM OUR PROPERTY LINE. THEN YOU HAVE ONE GUY UP HERE AND YOU WILL SEE ON THE SITE PLAN THAT WE PURPOSELY MOVE THE BUILDINGS AWAY TO GET AWAY FROM THAT SINGLE FAMILY HOME. THIS IS A COLORED SITE PLAN. I DON'T KNOW IF I HAD HAD THIS READY AT THE TIME.

I KNOW THIS IS A VERY SMALL SCALE. I HAVE AN -- ON THE LATER SIDE TO HAVE THEM BLOWN UP. I WILL TALK ABOUT A FEW THINGS.

THE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IS 488 HIGH-END MULTIFAMILY APARTMENTS.

ALL OF OUR PROJECTS ARE KIND OF ON THE HIGHER END OF THE SCALE, ALL HAVE ELEVATORS AND HIGH-LEVEL DETAIL. THIS PROJECT IS REALLY INTENDED TO SERVE THE MILLIONS OF SQUARE FEET THAT IS EITHER UNDER CONSTRUCTION OR PLANNED UP ALONG KINGS HIGHWAY OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRIBUTION AND WAREHOUSE SPACE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS AREA IS GOING TO BECOME A DISTRIBUTION HUB FOR THE ENTIRE STATE.

THERE'S REALLY NO OTHER APARTMENT PROJECTS LIKE THIS IN THE AREA.

I KNOW SOME OF THE PROJECTS ARE PROBABLY DELAYED A LITTLE BIT GIVEN WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE MARKET AND ECONOMY. WE FEEL THAT THERE WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT NEED FOR PROJECT LIKE THIS HERE. OUR DENSITY IS JUST UNDER 12 UNITS PER ACRE. THE EXISTING MULTIFAMILY ZONING ALLOWS 10 UNITS PER ACRE BY RIGHT AND WE ARE ASKING FOR AN ADDITIONAL TWO WITH INNOVATIVE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. FRANKLY, WE COULD HAVE COME HERE WITH JUST THREE-STORY WALKOUTS WITH NO ELEVATORS AND ON 400 UNITS AND HAD A LOT LESS AMENITIES BUT WE FEEL WE REALLY WANTED TO MAKE A STATEMENT HERE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE ADDITIONAL OR REQUEST ADDITIONAL UNITS PER ACRE. AS FAR AS AMENITIES, YOU WILL SEE IN A LITTLE BIT IN GREATER DETAIL, AND THE LITTER SIZE I'LL GO THROUGH QUICKLY OUR CLUBHOUSE IS ABOUT 15,000 SQUARE FEET. IT IS TWO STORIES, HAVE A LARGE POOL WE HAVEN'T REALLY DESIGNED YET BUT WE HAVE A BIG PLACE THERE.

BASKETBALL, VOLLEYBALL, PICKLE BALL, TENNIS COURTS, ALL WILL BE LIT AT NIGHT.

HAVE A HALF-ACRE CENTRAL PARK AREA IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A FOOTBALL FIELD THAT WILL HAVE A 10 FOOT MULTIUSE PATH AROUND THE ENTIRE PARK AND BENCHES AND TREES. WE HAVE A GAZEBO GRILL AREA A TAUGHT LOT, DOG PARK.

THERE IS A 10 FOOT WIDE MULTIUSE PATH THAT SURROUNDS THE ENTIRE CENTRAL LAKE AND IT CONNECTS TO THE YOU'LL SEE IT ON LATER SLIDE. ALL THE SIDEWALKS ONSET HAVE BEEN INCREASED FROM FIVE FEET TO SIX FEET, FIVE FEET IS A CODE REQUIREMENT. WE HAVE ABOUT JUST UNDER

[00:30:05]

THIS IS THE KINGS HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS ARE CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW. THERE'S WHAT I CALL THE PEANUT HERE WHICH ACTUALLY WAS JUST PUT IN. THAT PEANUT WILL RESTRICT THE LEFT OUT BUT IT WILL ALLOW FOR A RIGHT IN, RIGHT OUT AND LEFT IN. THIS IS A LONG-TERM LANE FDOT IS PUTTING THAT IT WILL ALLOW LEFT IT TO OUR SITE AND YOU'LL SEE THIS AREA ON THE NEXT SLIDE. SECONDARY ACCESS ON RESEARCH SOONER ROAD.

YOUR POINT MR. CHAIRMAN, THERE'S A TRAFFIC LIGHT PLANT AT THIS INTERSECTION.

WE WOULD IMAGINE THAT THOSE THAT WANT TO GO NORTH, WOULD USE THE SIDE ENTRANCE HERE AND THEN TO BE ABLE TO MAKE A LEFT AT THAT INTERSECTION.

PARKING, WE ARE OVER PARKED SOME BUT THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT AND I'LL EXPLAIN THAT AS WELL. WE CERTAINLY NEED THE PARKING REQUIREMENT.E PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR TRANSIT AND SCHOOL BUS STOP HERE AT THE ENTRANCE.

WE HAVE TRASH COMPACTORS INSTEAD OF DUMPSTERS. JUST WANT TO SAY WHAT THE SITE PLAN LOOKED ON AN AERIAL TO PUT THINGS IN CONTEXT.

IT'S HARDER TO SEND THIS BUT YOU CAN SEE THE BUILDINGS ARE REALLY IN CONTEXT WITH WHAT'S IN THE AREA. THE NEXT FEW SLIDES WILL JUST BE BLOWUPS OF THE SITE PLAN. THIS IS THE ENTRY AREA, WE HAVE LANE FOR TENANTS AND GUESTS. OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE SCHOOL BUS STOP AND TRANSIT STOP WHICH I'LL DISCUSS A LITTLE MORE.

CLUBHOUSE, RECREATIONAL AMENITIES, BASKETBALL, VOLLEYBALL, PICKLE BALL AND TENNIS. ALL WILL BE LIT AT NIGHT. THIS IS THE CENTRAL PART OF THE PLAN. YOU CAN SEE THE BUILDINGS THAT GOING TO THE CENTRAL LAKE THERE. ALSO THE CLUBHOUSE AND POOL SO IT IS IN A SIMILAR T, YOU SEE THE MULTI- -- 10 FOOT MULTIUSE PATH AROUND THE LAKE.

THAT CONNECTS VIA A 10 FOOT PATH TO THE SOUTH HERE TO CONNECT TO THE CENTRAL PARK. WE HAVE A GAZEBO AND KIND OF GRILL AREA, HAVE CARPORTS. WE HAVE A LIFT STATION. THIS IS THE CENTRAL PARK.

I LIKE THIS FEATURES ON THE SOUTH END. AGAIN, ABOUT 300 FEET LONG SO IT'S A LITTLE OVER 300 FEET LONG. IT'S QUITE A NICE SIZE JUST OVER HALF AN ACRE. THEN THIS IS THE NORTH PART OF THE SITE.

LEAVE A COUPLE OF SMALL DETACHED GARAGE BUILDINGS AND THEN, THE GATED RESIDENT ONLY ENTRY HERE SO THEY WILL BE YOU KNOW, ONLY, NO GUESTS WILL BE ALLOWED AT THE ENTRANCE. THE NEXT FEW SLIDES WILL BE ARCHITECTURE.

THIS IS, WE HAVE REALLY FIVE BUILDING TYPES. THE 36 TO 30 AND 40 ARE ALL GENERALLY VERY SIMILAR IN STYLE AND COLORS AND MATERIALS BUT 36 JUST HAVE 12 GARAGES, 38 HAS SIX AND 40 HAS NONE. A LOT OF ARCHITECTURAL DETAILING, ALTHOUGH THE BUILDINGS ARE FOR STORIES, ABOUT 42 FEET IN HEIGHT.

THE FOOTPRINTS YOU WILL SEE, PROVIDE A LOT OF HORIZONTAL ARTICULATION WHICH ALLOWS THE BUILDING MASS TO BE BROKEN UP AND REDUCE OVERALL SCALE.

THEN WE HAVE -- ACCOMPLISHED WITH KIND OF THESE CONTEMPORARY FEATURES, THESE ARE A CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURAL STYLE WHICH INCLUDES THE BALCONIES, HORIZONTAL RAILING, STONE, QUITE A BIT OF BANDING, A LOT OF VARIATIONS IN THE ROOF FEATURES, MIDDLE SHADES DOWN HERE AT THE BOTTOM AND ON THE ENDS. SIMILAR TO HORIZONTAL PANELS WHICH YOU KIND OF SEE HERE. AND THEN, THE STUCCO BROKEN UP BY THE VARIOUS ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS. WE FEEL THEY ARE ALL VERY NICE LOOKING BUILDINGS.

JUST AN EXAMPLE OF THE SIDE ELEVATION ROOM, WHICH HAS A LOT OF THE SAME ARCHITECTURAL DETAILING. ND THEN, THE CLUBHOUSE. AGAIN, CLUBHOUSE IS TWO STORIES, JUST UNDER 15,000 SQUARE FEET AND THIS ALSO HAS A CONTEMPORARY AND MODERN THEME WITH THE SAME COLORS AND ARCHITECTURAL STYLE.

ELEVATION FACING THE POOL AND LAKE AND ANOTHER SIDE. THIS IS A RENDERING OF THE 36 UNIT BUILDING. AGAIN, THE BUILDINGS ARE RELATIVELY SIMILAR BUT YOU SEE THERE'S JUST A LOT OF DETAILING HERE. THERE ARE A LOT OF INNS AND OUT NOT JUST A FLAT FACADE, FLAT BOX YOU HAVE A LOT OF INS AND OUTS, ALSO ALONG THE TOP, A LOT OF ROOF VARIATIONS IN COLORS AND MATERIALS.WE FEEL IT IS A VERY ATTRACTIVE BUILDINGS AND THEY ALL GENERALLY SIMILAR.

THIS IS A RENDERING OF THE CLUBHOUSE. JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU THIS, IT IS HARD TO SEE BUT GENERALLY, TYPICALLY, HAVE INTERNAL CORRIDOR AND YOU

[00:35:03]

THERE ARE LARGE EVENTS ROOM, FITNESS CENTER ON THE GROUND FLOOR, LEASING AREAS, KIDS LOUNGE AND UPSTAIRS IS THE SECOND FLOOR FITNESS, THERE'S A SPIN ROOM, YOGA ROOM, ANOTHER SITTING AREA, LARGE GAME AND PARTY ROOM AND BUSINESS CENTER. THERE IS OPPORTUNITY FOR A LOT OF DIFFERENT TENANTS TO UTILIZE THE AMENITIES. TERMS OF ARCHITECTURE. EXCUSE ME LANDSCAPING.

VERY BRIEFLY, OPEN SPACE, 40 PERCENT WE DON'T COUNT THE LAKE.

THAT IS A BIG NUMBER WHEN YOU DO COUNT THE LAKES OVER 53 PERCENT.

AGAIN, VERY DENSE LANDSCAPING EVERYWHERE ALL THE BUFFERS HAVE BEEN INCREASED ABOVE THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT. AND THEN, YOU SEE THE ADDITIONAL TREES, 62 PERCENT ADDITIONAL ANTERIOR TREES, 15 PERCENT ADDITIONAL BUFFER TREES AND HEIGHT INCREASE BY 10 PERCENT.

ALL OF THIS IS TO PROVIDE FOR A GREAT PROJECT BUT ALSO SATISFY THE INNOVATIVE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA. JUST A COUPLE OF MORE SLIDES. THESE POTENTIAL FUTURE BUILDINGS, I LIKE TO EXPLAIN THEM. WHEN WORKING WITH THE COUNTY, ARE POTENTIALLY HAVING A TRANSIT STOP IN CLOSE VICINITY TO THE SITE. GIVEN ALL THE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES UP AND DOWN KINGS HIGHWAY, WE FEEL WOULD BE A BIG BENEFIT TO RESIDENTS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.

IF IN FACT, THE TRANSIT STOP IS LOCATED EITHER ON OUR SITE OR WITHIN THE QUARTER MILE WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK AND REQUEST ADDITIONAL UNITS AND IT WILL BE A SEPARATE APPROVAL. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ALLOWS FOR FIVE ADDITIONAL DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE WE WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO FIT THAT ON THE SITE. THE MAXIMUM WE COULD FIT WOULD BE ABOUT ANOTHER 120, THAT WILL BE A SEPARATE APPROVAL AND A SEPARATE REQUEST COMING BEFORE THIS BOARD. WE WANTED TO PLAN THOSE LOCATIONS FOR THOSE TWO BUILDINGS. WE HAD BEEN REALLY LOOKING AT PHASING, ESPECIALLY WITH WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE MARKET AND ECONOMY, NOW THAT WE MAY START WITH 250 UNITS SAY, AND THERE'S A LOT OF DETAIL THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT.

THE BUILDINGS AND ALSO, TO PHASE THE PROJECT.

THERE WILL BE SOMETHING WE ARE ASKING THE CITY COMMISSION TO ALLOW STAFF AUTHORITY TO REVIEW OR DENY THAT. SO LONG AS GENERAL INTENT AND GENERAL LAYOUT REMAINS AS APPROVED. JUST WANTED TO EXPLAIN THOSE TWO BUILDINGS. THESE WERE ONES THAT WERE JUST BECAME AVAILABLE THIS MORNING. ONE OF THE BUILDINGS, LET ME BACK UP.

LET ME SEE PREVIOUS. THIS BUILDING WITHOUT GETTING IN A LOT OF DETAILS WHAT I CALL A SINGLE LOADED. IT IS KINDA SKINNY FROM FRONT TO BACK. THEN IT'S ABOUT THE SAME DEPTH AS THE OTHER ONE.

THIS FIRST BUILDING BE 40 UNITS IN A SINGLE LETTER. SO THESE ACTUALLY SEE, IT REALLY CAME OUT A LOT NICER THAN I WAS ANTICIPATING. VERY SIMILAR TO OTHER BUILDINGS IN TERMS OF COLOR AND STYLE AND HEIGHT. AND THEN JUST LASTLY, JUST TO TOUCH ON INNOVATIVE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. S MR. GILMORE INDICATED, THERE ARE CERTAIN CRITERIA THAT YOU HAVE TO MEET IN ORDER TO JUSTIFY THAT.

I WILL GO THROUGH THOSE IN DETAIL. GENERALLY SPEAKING, IN TERMS OF LANDSCAPING, WE'VE EXCEEDED IT BY MORE THAN 10 PERCENT.

IN TERMS OF GENERAL SITE DESIGN, WE DEMONSTRATED THAT WE ARE OVER AND ABOVE TO REALLY HAVE AN INNOVATIVE PROJECT HERE IN OUR OPINION.

WITH RESPECT TO THE DESIGN, ALL BILLS HAVE A HIGH LEVEL OF DETAIL AND ARCHITECTURAL STYLING. WITH RESPECT TO OPEN SPACE, WE HAVE 40 PERCENT AND YOU DON'T COUNT THE LAKE. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

WE ARE EXCITED TO GET STARTED ON THIS PROJECT. WE FEEL THAT HOPEFULLY THIS SETS A NEW STANDARD FOR MULTIFAMILY IN THE CITY. HANK YOU.

>> I HAVE JUST RECENTLY SPENT CONSIDERABLE NUMBER OF HOURS STUDYING THE CITY ORDINANCE CONCERNING INNOVATIVE DESIGNS. SOME VERY FAMILIAR WITH THAT SECTION OF THE ORDINANCE. I WOULD SAY THAT CERTAINLY, MEET AND EXCEED ANY DEFINITION THAT I CAN COME UP WITH FOR THE OVERALL

PICTURE, THE PURPOSE OF THE ORDINANCE. >> THANK YOU.

>> THIS IS NOT A WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. >> IT IS NOT A WORKFORCE DEVELOPED BY DEFINITION. MR. CHAIRMAN, OUR PROJECTS ARE HIGHER IN BUT WE ARE,

[00:40:03]

>> I WOULD THINK THAT THE ADDRESS -- LOCATION IN REGARD TO WHERE THE EXITS FOR 95 AND FLORIDA TURNPIKE THAT THIS MIGHT BE, WE MIGHT SEE AN AWFUL LOT OF LICENSE PLATES COME IN THAT MAY HAVE BEEN IN YOUR HOMETOWN OF WEST PALM BEACH FOR EXAMPLE. THAT ARE LOOKING TO GET OUT OF THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF WEST PALM BEACH AND GET OUT MORE INTO MORE RURAL, CONSIDERED RURAL AREA.

WE ARE RAPIDLY CHANGING THAT TOO. SO, MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT WE ARE TRYING TO MARKET THIS TO THE CITY AS THOUGH, IT IS A GOOD DEVELOPMENT, IN A GOOD LOCATION BECAUSE OF THE WAREHOUSE HUBS THAT WE ARE BEGINNING TO SEE HERE. ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE TRUE IF WE ARE TALKING ABOUT UPPER-LEVEL MANAGEMENT. I WOULD THINK THAT THE FELLA ON THE WAREHOUSE FLOOR RUNNING THE TRUCK WILL STOP TO LOOK FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO LIVE. NOT KNOCKING THE PROJECT BY ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION. I AM IN FAVOR OF IT. I LIKE IT.

I LIKE THE APPEARANCE OF IT. I LIKE THAT IT IS ELEVATING RENTALS HERE IN FORT PIERCE. THAT IS A TWO-EDGED SWORD.

AS WERE ELEVATING ON ONE SIDE, THE FOLKS THAT NEED THE ASSISTANCE ON THE OTHER SIDE, ARE SUFFERING. NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT THIS, IT'S A TWO-EDGED SWORD. I LIKE THE PROJECT OVERALL, YOU'VE DONE A GOOD JOB ON

IT. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> ON SECURITIES, ARE THE

GATES MANNED? >> THEY ARE NOT MANNED. >> WHAT ABOUT ON-SITE MANAGEMENT? I'M JUST THINKING THERE WILL BE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN

THE AREA. >> YES. >> ON-SITE MANAGEMENT?

>> THERE WILL BE ON-SITE MANAGEMENT. THAT'S ALL WE HAVE PLACE IN THE CLUBHOUSE FOR MAINTENANCE WITHIN THE FIRST FLOOR OF THE CLUBHOUSE. AND SECURITY. WE HAVE TO PLAN FOR

SECURITY AND A 40 ACRE SITE WITH CLOSE TO 500 UNITS. >> SO YES.

>> YES, SIR. >> IS A GOING TO BE TWO-BEDROOM OR

THREE-BEDROOM? >> ONE, TWO AND THREE BEDROOMS.

>> WHAT SIZE ACTUALLY? ESPECIALLY THE BEDROOM. >> A GOOD SCALE.

>> THE SLED HERE WILL SHOW YOU, THE ONE BEDROOMS ARE 790.

THE FUTURE BUILDINGS WOULD BE JUST UNDER 700 SQUARE FEET FOR THE ONE BEDROOMS BUT THE REGULAR BUILDINGS IN THE OTHER 13 BUILDINGS ARE 790.

WE HAVE TWO VERSIONS OF TWO-BEDROOMS WHICH ARE JUST OVER 1200 SQUARE FEET AND

THEN THREE-BEDROOM IS JUST UNDER 1600. >> THAT'S THE EXACT SIZE.

IF YOU GET THE EXTRA THAT YOU NEED ON THAT OR -- >> IF WE END UP, THERE IS A TREND TO STOP AND COME BACK BEFORE YOU, I GUESS EITHER WAY BUT I GUESS THE QUESTION, THIS IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE AS IT RELATES TO THE ADDITIONAL UNITS THAT

WE MIGHT GET IN THE FUTURE. IS THAT THE QUESTION? >> SINCE WE I THINK YOU

ASKING FOR TWO MORE UNITS. >> I'M SORRY. >> IT IS THE NORMAL SIZE OR

IT'S GOING TO BE SMALLER THAN THAT SIZE? >> NO, THE ADDITIONAL UNITS PER ACRE, THAT GETS US UP THE 488 UNITS. THIS IS THE UNIT, THE 36 UNIT BUILDINGS AND GENERALLY THE SAME THROUGHOUT ALL THE BUILDINGS EXCEPT FOR THE TWO POTENTIAL FUTURE BUILDINGS, WHICH WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK FOR LATER AND THOSE ARE PLANNED IS ALL ONE VEGANS WHICH SHOULD BE JUST UNDER 700 SQUARE FEET. ALL ONE BEDROOMS. JUST TO PROVIDE SOME VARIETY TO MR. GERMANS, SOME OPPORTUNITY YOU KNOW, FOR A FULL RANGE OF RENTAL OPPORTUNITIES. THEY ARE NOT MICRO APARTMENTS OR ANYTHING.

[00:45:04]

LIVING ROOM AND KITCHEN. >> ONE BEDROOM APARTMENTS, 700 SQUARE FEET IS VERY

COMFORTABLE. >> THAT IS AVERAGE. >> I'VE LIVED IN ONE.

>> IS THIS INTENDED EXCLUSIVELY FOR RENTAL MARKET?

OR IN OWNERSHIP WITH HOA? >> ALL RENTAL. WE ARE LONG-TERM, WE HOLD

OUR PROJECTS LONG TERM. >> WHAT ABOUT THE SCHOOL? HAVE WE TALKED ABOUT A BUS STOP?OU MENTIONED ON THIS CIRCLE. IS A SCHOOL BOARD INVOLVED

WITH THIS? >> THEY ARE AND WE PLANNED A LOCATION FOR THE SCHOOL BUS TURNED AROUND AND WE HAD TO MAKE THIS WATER AND HAD TO GO BACK A FEW TIMES BUT THE SCHOOL BUS CAN COME IN HERE AND COME IN THE GUEST LINE AT THE TURN LANE BUT THE GUEST LANE AND MAKE THIS HALF CIRCLE AROUND HERE AND WE IDENTIFIED AN AREA FOR SCHOOL BUS SHELTER THAT WE WILL PUT IN ON OUR DIME AND IN FACT, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE SAID, THERE WILL BE A LOT OF KIDS HERE, CAN MAKE THE AREA A LITTLE BIGGER AND WE AGREED TO THAT.

>> AT A SHELTER THERE. >> YES YOU CAN SEE THEM. THERE IS A LITTLE, THIS HERE AND THIS YEAR. IF YOU LOOK ON THE SITE PLAN THOSE IDENTIFIED AS A SCHOOL BUS SHELTER. TRANSIT BUS STOP SHELTER. [INAUDIBLE]

>> SOMEBODY TAKE THAT -- [LAUGHTER] >> WE HAVE A NEW BOARD

MEMBER. [LAUGHTER] >> ALL RIGHT, THANKS.

YOU COMMENTED YOU HAD BEEN IN CONTACT AND DISCUSSION AND I DON'T DISCOUNT THAT AT ALL, NOR MR. SANDERS. IS HE HAPPY WITH THE IDEA THAT THE BUS STOP IS GOING TO BE IN THAT EXIT LANE WITH NO PULL OFF FOR THE SCHOOL BUS?

>> OSO AVENUE THAT WAS DISCUSSED YES, HE IS HE SIGNED OFF AS FAR AS A REVIEWER. ONE OF THE COMMENTS AT SOME POINT WHERE THE DISCUSSION OF THE STAFF IS THAT WE POTENTIALLY ADD ANOTHER LANE BUT I THINK THE REASON WE DECIDED NOT TO DO THAT WAS BECAUSE THIS ONLY HAPPENED TWICE A DAY AND YOU KNOW, BE RELATIVELY SHORT WAY FOR THE BUS TO GO IN AND OUT AND WE DIDN'T WANT TO ADD PAVEMENT JUST FOR THAT SO HE WAS OKAY WITH THAT.

>> I READ THE DOCUMENTATION, IT LOOKED LIKE MR. SANDERS ESTIMATED THAT THERE COULD BE UPWARD OF 100 STUDENTS COMING AND GOING AT THAT BUS STOP.

IT WOULD LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE WOULD BE MULTIPLE BUSES FOR MULTIPLE AGE CHILDREN. MULTIPLE TIMES OF DAY AND LOOKING AT A SINGLE EXIT LANE WHEN THE BUS STOPPED THERE LOADING AND UNLOADING CHILDREN.

NOBODY IS LEAVING. >> YEAH. I THINK THERE'S A REQUIREMENT THAT YOU DON'T PASS THE BUS ONE IS PICKING UP OR DROPPING OFF KIDS

ANYWAY. >> ABSOLUTELY, YOU ARE RIGHT.

>> THAT'S A GOOD POINT. [LAUGHTER] >> THERE GOES THAT SHORT WINDOW, RIGHT! [LAUGHTER] I DO STOP WHEN I SEE THOSE

LITTLE SIGNS POP OUT. >> YOU WOULD BE IN TROUBLE IF YOU DIDN'T.

[LAUGHTER] >> OKAY. >> I THINK CHAIR, TO YOUR POINT, IF THERE IS ONLY ONE LANE, IT IS EASIER TO CONTROL THE TRAFFIC.

INSTEAD OF HAVING THE TWO. >> IS GERMAN HERE IS A SCHOOLTEACHER.

HE HAS TO DEAL WITH THIS ON A REGULAR BASIS, GOD BLESS HIM!

[LAUGHTER] >> FOR ALL OF THE WATER, ALL THE LAKES, ARE THEY

FENCED? >> THEY ARE NOT FENCED. THAT IS PRETTY, OBVIOUSLY,

TYPICAL OF A MULTIFAMILY PROJECT AND -- >> IS TO ARBERY, I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS. THE ANSWERS ARE IN THE DOCUMENTS BUT GO AHEAD!

[LAUGHTER] >> I REALLY ENJOYED LOOKING AT THIS PROJECT AND TO SEE THE COLORED ELEVATIONS OF IT, TO BRING IT TO LIFE, I THINK THE AMOUNT OF TREES, REALLY GOES WELL. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE YOU KNOW, WE ARE A TREE CITY

[00:50:03]

I THINK FRANK HIT ON THE KNOW AND HE MENTIONED THE AFFORDABILITY AND YOU MENTIONED EARLIER THAT YOU KNOW BECAUSE OF ALL THE WAREHOUSE BUILDINGS AND STUFF LIKE THAT, THAT'S AROUND THE AREA THAT YOU KNOW, IT WILL BE GREAT FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE LIVING OR WORKING THERE.

AS FRANK MENTIONED AS WELL, IF THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE AT LEAST REMOTELY AFFORDABLE, THEN THE PEOPLE THAT WILL BE HOUSING THOSE APARTMENTS IS GOING TO BE PEOPLE OUT OF TOWN. THEY LIVE IN THE STEWARD AREA, THOSE IN THE WEST PALM AREA AND -- AS WELL. THAT CAN AFFORD IT AND I WANT TO SAY IT IS A SLAP IN THE FACE, BUT JUST ADDS OUTSIDE OF ME BEING ON THE BOARD, AS OF, AS A PERSON IS CONSTANTLY LOOKING FOR HOUSING FOR LIKE FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS AND STUFF LIKE THAT BECAUSE THEY ASKED ME ABOUT THINGS LIKE THIS.

IT ISN'T DOING THEM ANY SERVICE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD THAT. I THINK WHEN COMING INTO A COMMUNITY AND COMING TO FORT PIERCE IN GENERAL, AT LEAST, AS A RESIDENT I LIKE TO SEE SOMEONE COMING IN IS COMING IN TO PROVIDE FOR ACTUAL RESIDENTS AND TO COME IN AND EVENTUALLY PUSH OTHERS OUT BECAUSE THAT IS HOW IT TENDS TO HAPPEN. BUT WILL HAVE TO ELEVATE, RIGHT? COME ELEVATION, IT HAS TO HAPPEN GRADUALLY BUT I'M NOT KNOCKING THE PROJECT AT ALL. I WILL SAY THAT I DIDN'T SEE ANY ELECTRIC CHARGING STATIONS ON THE PLANS. TO BE INNOVATIVE, WERE THINKING AHEAD OF THE GAME. IS THERE PLANS OR WOULD YOU CONSIDER PUTTING ELECTRIC

CHARGING STATIONS? >> WE ARE JUST, SOMETHING OMITTED FROM THE PRESENTATION. WE HAVE SEVERAL ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT AND AS IT RELATES TO THE AFFORDABILITY, WE NEED IT. THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT THE CITY WANTED TO SEE AND THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE STARTED. LOOKING AT THIS LITTLE BIT OF A SMALLER ONE BEDROOM TO PROVIDE FOR MORE FIT ABILITY AND LEISURE MARKET RATE. WE ARE NOT EXPECTING, WE HAVE ANOTHER PROJECT THAT WE WILL BE SUBMITTING THAT WILL BE DOWNTOWN. WE ARE NOT EXPECTING TO GET DOWNTOWN RENT. THIS IS ALL JUST MARKET RATE.

GIVEN THE SIZE OF MARKET RATE FOR A ONE BEDROOM?

>> AND NOT PREPARED TO ADDRESS THAT. WE ACTUALLY ARE ENGAGING A COMPANY TO DO A FEASIBILITY STUDY AND MARKET STUDY AND EVEN IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THOSE POTENTIAL VENDORS THAT WILL HELP US WITH THAT.

THEY JUST SAY WE WON'T KNOW BECAUSE WE ASKED THE QUESTION, THEY TOLD US AND THEY ARE EXPERT THEY SAID WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL WE FINISH THE STUDY.

I WOULD WANT TO THROW SOMETHING OUT. WITHOUT THE PROPER --

>> AND THE SMALLER BEDROOMS. THOUGH WE POTENTIALLY COMING IN. HOW MUCH OF A LOWER COST, PERCENTAGEWISE, WOULD THAT

BE COMPARED TO THE OTHER ONE BEDROOMS? >> ARE THE ONE BEDROOMS ARE 790 SQUARE FEET THESE WERE ABOUT 100 SQUARE FEET LESS. YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE JUST GOING ON SQUARE FOOTAGE WILL BE MORE THAN 10 PERCENT.

>> OKAY. >> WE DO HAVE TWO OTHER APARTMENT DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE REPROVED. HAVE THEY MOVED THROUGH THE COMMISSION YET?

>> THAT ARE INNOVATIVE? >> JENKINS ROAD ALMOST ACROSS THE STREET FROM ONE

ANOTHER. >> YES, THEY BOTH HAVE BEEN APPROVED.

>> I'M ASSUMING THEY'VE BEEN APPROVED. >> CORRECT.

>> THERE ARE TWO ADDITIONAL APARTMENT UNITS THAT ARE NOT THIS CALIPER OF

DEVELOPMENT. >> I DON'T WANT TO KNOCK THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S COMING. BUT LET'S FACE IT, IT DOES NOT HAVE THE AMENITIES THIS

[00:55:02]

>> THERE AT LEAST SIX OR SEVEN. THERE ARE A FEW.

>> THERE OTHER APARTMENT DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE LOOKING AT AND COMING IN TO FORT PIERCE THAT SOME OF THEM ENCOURAGE ME AND WHETHER PRICE POINTS MIGHT BE WITH THOSE. I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO AFFECT THE PRICE POINT THAT YOU ARE SHOPPING FOR NOW BECAUSE AS MORE SQUARE FOOTAGE BECOMES AVAILABLE, WE WOULD THINK THAT WOULD IMPACT THE POTENTIAL OF A MARKET VALUE.

IT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING THAT CONSULTANTS ARE NOT SUGGESTING AND WITHOUT DOING A THOROUGH STUDY. KNOWING THAT ALL OF THIS OTHER SQUARE FOOTAGE IS ON THE WAY. SO, VERY GOOD. I COULDN'T COUNT ALL OF THE CHARGING STATIONS, I GOT A PART OF 20. AND I SAID, I'M NOT GOING ANY FURTHER BUT I LET MR. AUBREY SEE IF HE COULD GET A NUMBER.

[LAUGHTER] >> ALSO, THE PUBLIC TRANSIT.

IT IS JUST TO BE MINDFUL BECAUSE I THINK PEOPLE FORGET THAT THE SUN IS, RISES IN THE EAST, RISES AND SETS AND WILL PUT A BUST UP DIRECTLY TOWARD THE

SUN.AN WE JUST BE MINDFUL OF THAT WHEN -- >> IT DOES YOU KNOW, IT DOES FACE NORTH BUT THAT IS A VERY GOOD POINT. PUT A LITTLE SHIELD ON THE

BACK. >> ANYTHING ELSE? >> I HAVE A QUESTION.

>> HE SPOKE LITTLE IN YOUR PRESENTATION ABOUT PHASING. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I UNDERSTOOD WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT. THE POINT YOU BRING UP ABOUT THE TWO OPTIONAL BUILDINGS. OBVIOUSLY THAT WILL BE POTENTIAL PHASING THERE BUT ARE YOU SAYING THAT ANY MORE GRANULE LEVEL THE PROJECT WOULD HAVE TO BE, WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH SOME ADDITIONAL APPROVAL

PROCESS, OR IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR TODAY? >> IT WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH AN ADDITIONAL, NOT ASKING FOR APPROVAL OF PHASING TODAY.

WE DO HAVE DETAILS AND IS BEGINNING TO CONSTRUCTION PLANS OR CIVIL CONSTRUCTION PLANS, IT GETS INTO DETAILS SO WE ARE ASKING REPORTING ON THE RECORD THAT WE WOULD LIKELY DESIRE TO PHASE A PROJECT INTO EITHER TWO PHASES OR THREE PHASES.

LONG AS THE SITE PLAN DOESN'T CHANGE WE WOULD JUST ASK THAT STAFF HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO EITHER APPROVE OR DENY THE REQUEST FOR PHASING.

SO LONG AS THE PLAN OVERALL REMAINS THE SAME. >> UNDERSTOOD.

>> I DON'T THINK THIS BOARD HAS THE AUTHORITY TO PERMIT THAT, DO WE?

>> AS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL THE COMMISSION WOULD ULTIMATELY ADOPT AS

PART OF THESE, WE COULD PUT IT IN HIS CONDITION. >> MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION.

>> I MIGHT BE DESIRABLE TO SEE PHASING FROM THE CONSTRUCTION STANDPOINT.

AND OBVIOUSLY YOU WON'T BUILD THIS THING IN ONE DAY.

AND TOMORROW, OPEN UP AND EVERYTHING IS READY TO ROCK 'N' ROLL.

IN ORDER TO GET THE USE PERMITS TO BE ABLE TO MOVE PEOPLE IN.

IT WOULD HAVE TO BE PHASED. >> HE SAY TO BE FACING STAFF WILL BE LOOKING FOR, AND THAT ASPECT IS COMPONENTS OF THE PHASING. DO THEY MEET THE ADEQUACY OF FULFILLING THE INTENT THAT THEY WILL BE PART OF THE WHOLE.

IF IT IS PHASE, WITH THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF STORMWATER TREATMENT ACCORDING TO THAT PHASING. WE HAVE THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF SITE SAFETY ISSUES WITH CIRCULATION, FIRE SAFETY, SUPPLY, ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

AND ENSURING THAT THE TREE AND TREE LANDSCAPING FULLY COMPLETELY TO JOIN UP -- WON'T BE DESTROYED BY SUBSEQUENT PHASING. ALL OF THOSE ISSUES ARE WORKED OUT. AND THE APPLICANT WILL COME IN AND HIGHLIGHT VERY

[01:00:01]

ENGINEERING AND FIRE DEPARTMENT. >> MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS WOULD BE INVOLVED. BUT PLANNING WOULD BE DRIVING THE BUS IN THAT

RESPECT. >> YES. OUR JOB TO ENSURE THAT THE SITE PLAN IS NOT SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGED. AND WE WORK ON FIVE PERCENT VARIATION, LESS NORMAL PARAMETERS THAT WE WOULD APPLY.

WE'VE ALREADY SPOKEN TO THE APPLICANT ABOUT PHASING AND I THINK IT IS POSSIBLE TO BREAK THIS INTO PIECES WITHOUT HARMING THE OVERALL CIRCULATION OR THE --

>> I CAN VISUALIZE A COUPLE OF LOCATIONS HERE. IF ARE GOING TO TAKE THIS ON AND DEVELOP IT, I CAN SEE NATURAL AREAS WHERE I COULD PHASE THIS VERY EASILY. AND IT WOULD MAKE PERFECT SENSE TO DO THAT.

SO, I WOULD RECOMMEND AGAIN, TO THE BOARD, IF YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE A MOTION, KEEP IN MIND THAT PHASING IF THIS PROJECT MIGHT BE SOMETHING WE WANT TO ADD AS A CONDITION. THEN I WOULD ALLOW MR. FRIEDMAN, MR. GILMORE TO DECIDE WHAT THAT CONDITION WOULD BE. THERE IS A GENERAL NOTE ON THE SITE PLAN THAT WE ADDED AND IT SAYS, CITY STAFF COULD REVIEW AND APPROVE/DENY APPLICATION TO TRANSFER UNITS BETWEEN BUILDINGS INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL FUTURE BUILDINGS, AND AS LONG AS THE DESIGN APPROVE RECOGNITION IS

MAINTAINED IN DENSITY DID NOT EXCEED 488 UNITS. >> WOULD THAT BE ACCEPTABLE

FOR YOU TO USE? >> YES. >> ANY COMMENTS OR

QUESTIONS? >> JUST MY CONCERN ABOUT PHASING WOULD BE, WE ARE EMBARKING ON APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE. WHICH IS PROVISION ON CERTAIN ELEMENTS BEING BUILT TO THE HALL. WOULD EXPECT THAT THAT WOULD

FOLLOW SUIT IN THE SAME PERCENTAGES. >> EXACTLY.

IF IT DIDN'T MEET THE INTENT OF THE CONDITIONAL USE, THEN IT WOULD BE COMING BACK TO THE PLANNING BOARD. THAT IS WHEN THE PHASING WOULD BE MORE INTENSELY EXAMINED BY THE BOARD. MAKE SENSE?

>> CLEAR WITH EVERYONE? >> THANK YOU. >> VERY GOOD.

ANYTHING FURTHER? >> NO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> YOU ARE ALL WORN OUT? OKAY! THANK YOU, SIR. IS ANYONE ELSE IN THE

CHAMBER THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS PROJECT? >> MR. CHAIR?

>> YES. >> NOT INVOLVING THIS PROJECT ESSENTIALLY, BUT ON A WIDER ISSUE REGARDING THE HOUSING SUPPLY IN THE FORT PIERCE CITY.

I THINK FROM A PLANNING POINT OF VIEW, WE UNDERSTAND THERE IS A HOUSING SHORTAGE AND THOUSAND SHORTAGE NOT ONLY AFFECTS THE LOWER END BUT ALSO AFFECTS THE UPPER END OF THE MARKET. OUR JOB AS THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT HERE, IS TO ENSURE THAT WE SECURE THE WHOLE SPECTRUM OF HOUSING TO THE CITY. WE ARE SUPPLYING NOT ONLY UPPER HAND ON AFFORDABLE PHOUSING, BUT THE MIDDLE PIECE. THIS MAY NOT BE THE MIDDLE PIECE, BUT WE DO HAVE DEVELOPMENTS IN THE MIDDLE PIECE THIS MAY NOT BE THE WORKFORCE THAT WE HAVE DEVELOPMENTS ARE THE WORKFORCE.

AS THESE THINGS COME THROUGH, OR PLANNING POINT OF VIEW, WE'RE NOT EXPECTING EVERY SINGLE DEVELOPMENT TO BE AFFORDABLE.

WE ARE NOT EXPECTING EVERY SINGLE DEVELOPMENT TO BE HIGH-END.

WE WANT TO SEE A MIX OF DEVELOPMENT, A MIX OF STYLES.

WE WANT TO SEE IMPROVEMENT OF THE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS.E WANT TO SEE IMPROVEMENT OF LANDSCAPING AND STORMWATER PROVISION. AS A WHOLE, AS A WHOLE PICTURE FOR THE CITY, WE ARE LOOKING TO SECURE A WIDER SPECTRUM AND JUST A WHOLE RANGE OF RENTAL AVAILABILITY OR PURCHASE AVAILABILITY, FOR PEOPLE THAT WANT TO LIVE AND WORK IN THE CITY. I DID PULL UP SOME NUMBERS FOR THE STATE HOUSING INITIATIVE PROGRAM, RENTAL LEVELS FOR CERTAIN BEDROOM SIZE. THE NUMBERS TO BE A QUITE SURPRISING, THEY ARE QUITE

[01:05:03]

LEVEL, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS DEVELOPMENTS WILL BE RENTED FOR BUT I SEE WHAT WOULD BECOME A MARKET RATE FOR A SINGLE BEDROOM HOUSING UNIT UNDER THE STATE HOUSING INITIATIVE PROGRAM. HE WOULD BE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 1200 OR $1800 PER MONTH. AND GOING UP TO THREE BEDROOMS, YOU GO $1600 UP TO NEARLY $2500 PER MONTH. AND THAT'S THE STATE SAYING THAT IT IS A WORKFORCE, THE AFFORDABILITY FOR WORKFORCE.

IF YOU GO IN FOR A REAL AFFORDABLE 80 PERCENT OR LOWER MEDIAN INCOME, THEN YOU GO MUCH LOWER THAN THAT. WE GETTING INQUIRIES AND FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS AND HOPEFULLY, WE WILL BE COMING FORWARD WITH SOME OF THOSE TO THE BOARD. AND IT'S OUR JOB.

WE WANT TO SECURE THIS WHOLE RANGE IN SPECTRUM OF HOUSING.

WITHIN THE CITY. >> IS AMAZING WHERE RENTS HAVE GONE.

PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AFFORDABLE. >> SO, OKAY.

ANYONE ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? I AM NOT SEEING ANYONE, I WILL CLOSE A PUBLIC PORTION OF THE MEETING. COME BACK FOR FURTHER

COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS. >> I HAVE ONE. WHY NOT JUST GO R5?

WHY NOT JUST GO UP IN DENSITY? >> I THINK WHAT WE TRYING TO ACHIEVE IS INNOVATIVE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT. IT IS TO ENCOURAGE A BETTER FORM OF DEVELOPMENT, MORE FACILITIES, BETTER LANDSCAPING, BETTER STORMWATER, BETTER ARCHITECTURE. FOR A LONG TIME I THINK END IS WHAT I'VE OBSERVED IN MY SHORT TIME HERE. AND LOOKING AT THE HISTORY OF DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL IN THE CITY, IS IT THE CITY HAVE BEEN PARTIALLY DESPERATE TO GET DEVELOPMENT TO COME TO FORT PIERCE.

AND I THINK WE SHOULD BE OVER THAT POINT NOW. WE SHOULD BE SAYING, WE AS A CITY, WE WANT TO TAKE CARE OF OUR CITIZENS AND WE WANT TO YOU KNOW, SECURE A BETTER HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, A BETTER RANGE OF INTERCONNECTIVITY, A BETTER RANGE OF TRANSIT SERVICES. ALL OF THE THINGS WHICH COME ALONG WITH THAT.

AND I THINK, IT ALSO ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO WANT TO COME TO FORT PIERCE AND SEE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE HOUSING ON A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT LEVELS.

I LIKE THE FACT THAT WE ARE ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO LOOK IN THIS DIRECTION AND I THINK THE PLANNING BOARD HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENCOURAGE THAT -- WHEN REVIEWING PLANS. THERE'S BEEN SOME GOOD COMMENTS ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT. I'M HOPING WE GET, WILL BRING FORWARD OTHER APPLICATIONS, WE HAVE SIMILAR COMMENTS. WHETHER THERE CONDITIONAL USE OR ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL THINGS OR NOT. WE SHOULD BE DELIVERING I THINK, A LEVEL OF DESIGN AND THIS IS WHAT THE CITY IS ABOUT.

IN TERMS OF WHAT THE PLANNING BOARD IS APPROVING AND MOVING FORWARD.

I THINK YOU SHOULD BE EXCITED ABOUT THIS. BECAUSE WE ARE ENTERING INTO A REALLY NICE PHASE OF THE CITY AND ITS DEVELOPMENT.

>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE COMPLEX THAT WAS BEING LOOKED AT ON

OKEECHOBEE AND 37TH STREET, IS THAT -- >> I THINK IT IS 34.

>> THAT WAS ONE OF, COMPARED TO THIS DEVELOP AND DESIGN IS STILL UPSCALE OF WHAT AREAS WE WOULD SEE THE CITY BUT NOT QUITE THIS LEVEL.

BUT IT DID HAVE GOOD AMENITIES AS WELL. I WOULD HOPE THAT WE SEE THAT CONSTRUCTION START SOON. BUT SO, THINGS ARE CHANGING. IT'S ONLY BEEN LIKE THREE YEARS AGO, THAT WE HAD A PD THAT WAS, CAME BACK TO US. FOR CHANGES AND INSTEAD OF ADDING, THOUGH SUBTRACTING ELEMENTS. IT TOOK THE POOL OUT THEY TOOK THIS OUT TOOK THAT OUT. THAT WAS SOMEWHERE NEAR -- ROAD.

AND MR. BURGER THINK, WAS STILL THE CHAIR THEN. AND HE WAS A LITTLE ANNOYED WITH THE IDEA THAT THEY WERE COMING IN AND PULLING AMENITIES OUT OF THAT

[01:10:05]

I'M GLAD TO SEE YOUR COMPANY COMING IN WITH INTEREST TO COME HERE TO US. IT CERTAINLY IS A GOOD THING.

THE PROJECT NORTH OF TOWN A LITTLE BIT, NORTH OF DOWNTOWN SHOULD I SAY, IS AN INTERESTING PROJECT BUT I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE SOME HURDLES.

>> USUALLY IS. >> HOPEFULLY THEY, HOPEFULLY THIS LITTLE MOUNTAINS KNOCKED DOWN INTO LITTLE MOLEHILLS. OKAY.ANYTHING FURTHER? I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION. PLEASE REMEMBER THE DISCUSSION OF PHASING.

>> MOVE FOR APPROVAL WITH CONDITION OF PHASING. AS STATED EARLIER.

>> SECOND. >> MOTION OF APPROVAL, SECOND, CALL THE ROLL,

PLEASE. >> MR. EDWARDS. >> YES.

>>.

[c. Site Plan (Development and Design Review) - K and K Properties - Parcel ID: 2427-601-0031-000-8]

THIS IS THE SITE LOCATION OF THE SITE AREA THAT IS 4.01 GIVE OR TAKE ACRES.

AGAIN, HERE'S A FUTURE LAND USE. INDUSTRIAL.

THIS IS THE ZONING OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. THIS IS THE SITE PLAN AND AS YOU CAN SEE HERE IN THE WHITE, FOUR PROPOSED OFFICE BUILDINGS.

HERE ARE SOME OF THEM SITE DATA FOR REVIEW. THIS IS A LANDSCAPE PLAN.

AND A BREAKDOWN OF THAT LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR YOUR REVIEW.

AND THEN, HERE ARE THE ELEVATIONS FOR THE PROPOSED WAREHOUSE BUILDINGS.

THE STAFF RECOMMENDS TWO CONDITIONS PAGE 1, COMPLETION CERTIFICATION BY LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT COST ESTIMATE AND LANDSCAPE PURSUANT TO CITY CODE 123 SIX, SHALL REQUIRED FOR THE FINAL CERTIFICATION OF OCCUPANCY AS APPROVED FOR THE SITE. THE SECOND IS A COORDINATE WITH FLORIDA FISH AND WATER CONSERVATION PERMISSION TO RELOCATE GOPHER TORTOISES THAT HAD BEEN OBSERVED ON THE PROPERTY. THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS FOR THE PLANNING BOARD TO MOVE THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN WITH DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN REVIEW TWO CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL TO CITY COMMISSION. THE ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS THE BOARD CAN GIVE TODAY OUR RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL WITH ALTERNATIVE CONDITIONS, OR RECOMMENDATION OF

DISAPPROVAL. THANK YOU. >> IS THIS PROPERTY SERVICE

BY FPUD? >> FPUA? >> YES.

WE CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT WE'VE GOT COUNTY, CITY, SIDE-BY-SIDE, SURROUNDED BY ALL KINDS OF CRAZY THINGS GOING ON IN THERE. I WASN'T SURE IF THAT WAS

SERVICED BY FORT PIERCE OR SERVICED BY OTHERS. >> FPUA.

THERE IS A CANAL THAT RUNS JUST ALONG THIS ROADWAY RIGHT HERE.

[01:15:05]

>> AND THAT, I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO YOUR OUT EXACTLY WHERE IT GOES.

[LAUGHTER] I WILL RESTRAIN MYSELF. [LAUGHTER] ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? COMMENTS? NOT HEARING ANY.

NONE. OKAY. -- IS ALREADY AT THE MICROPHONE. I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE MEETING.

AND CATCH UP TO YOU, SIR. >> GOOD AFTERNOON MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, FOR THE RECORD, BRAD CURRY WITH EDC REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT.

SAM REPRESENTED THE APPLICANT FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR A PIECE OF PROPERTY FOR ABOUT 40,000 SQUARE FEET OF FLEX WAREHOUSE, MANUFACTURING TYPE SPACE. WE EXPECT THIS IS THE MOVE AS INDIVIDUALS BEDROOM OR GARAGE WORKING OUT OF HOME THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST STEP TO BECOMING AND GROWING THEIR BUSINESS. WITH ME HERE TODAY WE HAVE MR. -- THE OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY AND OWNER OF THE PROPERTY SOUTH OF THIS. HE'S BEEN VERY FORTUNATE AND SUCCESSFUL IN THE AREA. OFFERING SMALLER SPACES FOR THE TRADES.

THERE IS NO NEW SPACE LIKE THIS BEING BUILT IN THE AREA.

HE'S VERY EXCITED ABOUT GETTING THIS BUILT AND GETTING IT OCCUPIED.

STAFF DID AN EXCELLENT JOB REPRESENTING APPLICATION I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER

QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. >> QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? WE CERTAINLY NEED FLEX SPACE LIKE THIS IN THE AREA.

IT IS BECOMING VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND. SO, THE MORE THE BETTER.

THERE HAS BEEN A SMALL UNIT, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S READY FOR LEASE YET BUT OVER ON OLEANDER AVENUE, JUST SOUTH OF MARKET STREET.

BUT THIS IS IN A VERY GOOD LOCATION. NOTHING ELSE? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS? NOT SEEING ANYONE, I WILL CLOSE A PUBLIC PORTION OF THE HEARING.

COME BACK TO THE BOARD ANY FURTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? I DON'T KNOW IF IS A GOOD TIME FOR BUT THAT AREA ITSELF, WE SHOULD HAVE SOMEBODY FROM CODE ENFORCEMENT CLEANING THE AREA UP.

THE BUILDINGS THAT ARE AROUND THAT, EVEN SIMILAR TO WHAT'S BEING BUILT, HAS FENCING. FENCING IS -- SOME OF THE BUILDINGS LOOK SO RAGGED.

I'M NOT SURE THEY ARE BEING USED. IT IS NOT SOMETHING WE CAN

GET DIRECTION ON? THE CODE ENFORCEMENT. >> THIS IS GREAT.

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS BUILDING IN THAT SPOT. IF YOU CAN JUST CLEAN UP THE AREA AROUND IT, WOULD BE GREAT TOO. A NEW BUILDING THERE.

>> STAFF WILL RAISE THAT WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT. >> AGAIN, IS CARVED UP BETWEEN CITY PROPERTIES AND COUNTY PROPERTIES. WHEN YOU GO THROUGH, I CAN'T SAY WHICH ONE IS COUNTY PROPERTY AND WHICH ONE IS CITY PROPERTY.

WE DON'T PUT SIGNS ON THEM. UNFORTUNATELY, SO, TAKING UP WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT WILL BE A DIFFICULT JOB FOR THEM TOO. YOU ARE RIGHT, THERE ARE SOME PROPERTIES THAT LOOK LIKE NOBODY CARES. AND OTHER PROPERTIES THAT ARE CLEAN AND NEAT. AND HOPEFULLY, THE MORE CLEAN AND NEAT PROPERTIES THAT SHOW UP IN THE AREA, THE ONES ARE NOT AS SPICK-AND-SPAN, WILL IMPROVE. VERY OFTEN, THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

IT KIND OF HAPPENS. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GUY SEES A NICE BUILDING EQUESTRIAN SAYS MAYBE I OUGHT TO PAINT MY BUILDING AND TAKE THESE WRECKED VEHICLES AWAY. SO, OKAY. IF THERE IS NOTHING

FURTHER. I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION. >> MOVED FOR APPROVAL.

>> SECOND. >> MOTION FOR APPROVAL, SECOND.

CALL THE ROLL PLEASE.

BOARD, OTHERS CAN MAKE MOTIONS TOO. [LAUGHTER]

[d. Site Plan (Development and Design Review) - Bray - 2501 Virginia Avenue]

[01:20:05]

>> I DON'T THINK THERE WAS A ZONING CHANGE FOR THIS ONE.

THIS IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE WALGREENS ON -- >> 25TH.

YEAH. I MEAN, THEY WERE IN HERE. IT CAME ACROSS THE DAIS, SOMETHING. I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS.

>> COULD HAVE BEEN RIGHT BEFORE ME. >> YOU KNOW, I DO THAT A LOT! OKAY. KEEP ME STRAIGHT Y'ALL!

YES, I GET MIXED UP WITH THE TRC MEETING. >> AND CHAIRMAN, BOARD, BEFORE USE APPLICATION FOR SITE PLAN FOR BRAY. THE APPLICANT IS ENGINEERING DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION WITH BRAD CURRY BEING REPRESENTATIVE.

IN SUMMARY THIS IS A REQUEST FOR REVIEW OF AN APPLICATION FOR SITE PLAN.

>> YES. >> SHARING WITH CVS, IS THAT RIGHT?

>> WALGREENS. >> WALGREENS, OKAY. THAT HAS A UNDERSTAND THE REPLY TAKING CARE OF, AND IT WAS A DOCUMENT THAT WAS SIGNED BY ALL PARTIES.

WHAT HE DIDN'T SEE WAS A DOCUMENT THAT WAS SIGNED BY ALL PARTIES.

FOR THAT ITEM. AND IF IT IS NOT IN THE PACKET, WHAT MY SUGGESTION IS, WE BE CERTAIN HE GETS INTO THE PACKET BEFORE IT GOES FURTHER TO THE COMMISSION. I MAY HAVE MISSED IT BECAUSE I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT THE OTHER PROJECT WITH THE HAND DRAWN DRAWINGS, THAT MAY BE, THE OTHER ITEM THAT I TOOK NOTE OF, WAS AGAIN, IN THE TRC NOTES, THE SHARING OF A DRY RETENTION AREA FOR STORMWATER AND NEEDING A SIGNED DOCUMENT THAT WALGREENS BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT'S ON WALGREENS PROPERTY, WALGREENS AND THIS APPLICANT TOOK CARE OF THAT AND THERE WAS A NOTE BY THE APPLICANT, THAT THE DOCUMENT EXISTS. ONCE AGAIN, I DIDN'T SEE IT IN THIS PACKET.

IT MAY BE IN THIS PACKET, I JUST DIDN'T SEE IT. >> YET THE DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED AND I'M SORRY IF THEY WERE NOT PUT IN YOUR PACKETS.

I WILL ENSURE THAT THEY ARE DEFINITELY ON THERE. >> I'M MORE CONCERNED THAT THEY ARE, THEY DO EXIST AND THEY ARE THE PACKET THAT GOES TO THE COMMISSION.

>> YES, SIR. >> OKAY. THAT'S ALL I HAVE,

[01:25:04]

QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD? >> IS THERE PHOTOMETRIC

PLAN? >> YES, THEY SHOULD BE. WAS THERE NOT ONE OF THE

PACKET? >> I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE STAFF REPORT.

>> OKAY. >> IT MAY BE THE OTHER ONE. >> WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE STAFF REPORT THAT THERE SHOULD BE A PHOTOMETRIC PLAN ATTACHED TO THE

PACKET. >> QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> THERE WERE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE CURRENT, NOT BEING CLEANED UP. SO IT COULDN'T SERVICE THE

FUTURE PLANS, AND HE PLANS TO HAVE THAT DONE? >> I WILL LEAVE THAT

QUESTION TO THE APPLICANT. >> IS THE VIRGINIA AVENUE, WHICH IS STATE OR COUNTY?

>> STATE. >> CITY? >> STATE.

>> STATE? >> YES. >> WHERE ARE WE AT ON SIDEWALKS ON THE STATE ROAD? WHEN WE ARE DEALING WITH A

CITY PROPERTY? >> THE SIDEWALK IS ALREADY THERE.

>> OKAY. >> YES. >> I'VE BEEN BY THERE HUNDREDS OF TIMES. I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS A SIDEWALK

IN FRONT OF THIS PARCEL. >> HE SAYS ALL THE REP VIRGINIA AVENUE?

>> YES. QUIC>> A GOOD SHADED WALK.

>> IS IT? OKAY! ALL RIGHT.

ANYTHING ELSE BY THE BOARD? I'M TRYING TO GIVE YOU TIME TO THINK UP SOME QUESTIONS.

I WILL OPEN -- [INAUDIBLE] >> I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A CHOICE WHAT GOES IN THERE.

>> THERE'S A RESTAURANT I BELIEVE. >> I'D LIKE TO HAVE A

RESTAURANT. >> I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE MEETING.

>> AGAIN, GOOD AFTERNOON MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND TREMOR FOR THE RECORD, BRAD CURRY WITH ENGINEER DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION REPRESENTING APPLICANT AND PROPERTY OWNER. STAFF REPRESENTING THIS IS KIND OF AN AN INFO PRODUCT IS THE WALGREENS ON 25TH STREET. WHEN THE PARCEL WAS PURCHASED, THERE WAS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN WALGREENS AND THIS OWNER FOR THE ACCESS FOR DRAINAGE AS WELL AS FOR WATER AND SEWER TO ACCESS THIS PIECE.

ALTHOUGH THINGS ARE IN PLACE. REAL CONCERNS MOVING FORWARD. WE PROPOSE IN HER RESTAURANT OR RETAIL.

WE'RE SHOWING THIS IN CASE WE HAVE ROOM IN CASE OF SOMETHING NEEDED.

THERE IS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT MAYBE ONLY ONE TENANT.

WE ARE KIND OF ALL OVER THE PLACE BUT WE COULD HAVE SEPARATE TENANTS AND AS WE ARE PROPOSING. HAVE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS YOU HAVE REGARDING THE PROJECT. IT'S PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.

>> HE SAID THEY MAY BE RESTAURANT. IS THERE POSSIBILITY OF A

DRIVE THROUGH IN THIS? >> NOPE MAMA DOES NOT SHOW A DRIVE THROUGH.

WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO A DRIVE THROUGH ALYSSA SITE PLAN WAS AMENDED.

>> AND THE RETENTION POND BEING CLEANED UP? >> THAT IS TYPICALLY PART OF THE PROPERTY AND ASSOCIATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROJECT.

IS SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK INTO. ENFORCED BY SOUTH FLORIDA WATER JIBRON A-- SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. IT COULD BE A CODE ENFORCEMENT ISSUE IF THE CITY THOUGHT IT WAS AN ISSUE AND THEN SOUTH FLORIDA HAS A COMPLIANCE MANAGER THAT RUNS AROUND AND CHECKS OUT PROPERTIES AND ISSUE CITATIONS IF THERE IS A NEED FOR IT. WE HAVEN'T LOOKED INTO IT FROM OUR PAIN IS STILL FUNCTIONING APPROPRIATELY. IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THE CITY WOULD LIKE FOR US TO DO TO CLEAR UP, I THINK THAT COULD BE A CONDITION

OF APPROVAL. >> ME PERSONALLY, I GO THERE FRUGALLY.

I ACTUALLY WALK UP THERE. THERE IS CURRENTLY PEOPLE LIVING IN THAT AREA.

>> THEY SHOULDN'T BE LIVING IN THAT -- >> UNTIL MURINO THERE IS A

TENANT. >> I'M SURE THAT GOOD FIRST RAIN THEY GET --

>> THERE IS CURRENTLY A TENANT. IT DEFINITELY NEEDS BE CLEANED UP AND IT IS NOT AS DRY AS YOU THINK. OR AS WET AS YOU THINK IT

IS. >> OKAY I WILL TALK WITH MY CLIENT ABOUT IT.> WE ARE

IN THE DRY SEASON. >> EVEN IF IT RAINS EVEN LIKE THE RAIN WE HAD LAST COUPLE OF DAYS, IT'S NOT WET. IT IS TOTALLY COVERED WITH

TREES. >> OKAY, WE WILL TAKE A LOOK.

>> CAN WE GO BACK TO THE ELEVATIONS? THE SOUTH ELEVATION, THAT'S

NOT GOING TO BE FACING THE MAIN ROAD, CORRECT? >> THAT IS THE BACK.

[01:30:06]

BE FACING THE ROAD. >> THE OPPOSITE. >> YEAH.

JUST CLARIFYING AND MAKING SURE. SO I CAN ASK THIS.

WHY OR -- GOING ON -- WAS WASN'T THE BACKSIDE BEAUTIFIED, AND KIND OF EASY ACCESS LIKE THE FRONT SIDE? BECAUSE LOOKING AT THE PARKING, THERE IS MORE PARKING IN THE BACK THEN THE FRONT.ND IF THEY WILL BE MULTIPLE RETAIL /RESTAURANTS, IF THAT WOULD BE THE CASE, AND PROBABLY WOULD BE THE CASE LATER ON, WHY ISN'T THAT SOUTHSIDE AS BEAUTIFIED AS THAT BACK

SIDE? I MEAN THE NORTH SIDE. >> I THINK, I BELIEVE MOST PROJECTS COME MOST RETAIL PRODUCTS OR RESTAURANT PRODUCTS TYPICALLY HAVE A BACK OF THE HOUSE, IS WHAT WE CALL IT SOMETHING WE -- WHERE DELIVERIES COME WILL MAKE IT AS ATTRACTIVE, IS NOT MADE TO BE A FRONT ENTRANCE.

WE REALLY WANT TO IDENTIFY HAVING A FRONT ENTRANCE SO PEOPLE KNOW WHERE TO COME.

MOST OF OUR TENANTS THAT WE SEE LIKE TO HAVE ONE ENTRANCE.

THAT IS FOR THE PUBLIC ONLY. THE BACK ENTRANCE AND FRONT ENTRANCE, -- WOULD TYPICALLY LIKE TO DESIGN THESE WITH SPECIFIED AND VERY PROMINENT FRONT ENTRY. IN THE BACK ENTRY FOR EMPLOYEES ONLY OR

DELIVERIES. THAT'S THE INTENT OF THIS. >> I'VE SEEN A LOT OF OLDER BUILDINGS, A LOT OF NEWER BUILDINGS QUITE RECENT ACTUALLY WHERE THE PARKING IS LOCATED IN THE BACK. AND THERE'S AN ENTRY IN THE BACK.

AS WELL INSTEAD OF HAVING TO GO TO THE FRONT. JUST AS A DESIGN, LOOKING AT IT AS YOU KNOW, DESIGN AND AESTHETICS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, I WOULDN'T DETER THIS FROM BEING APPROVED IF IT DIDN'T COME ABOUT.

BECAUSE WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL BE IN THERE. IF IT IS RETAIL, I DON'T THINK IT REALLY MATTERS. BUT IF THE RESTAURANT, PARKING THE BACK THEN

HAVING TO WALK TO THE FRONT, ETC. BUT YEAH. >> I THINK THE OBJECTIVE WOULD BE THE WORKERS, PEOPLE, EMPLOYEES ARE HERE, WOULD PARK IN THE BACK AND PEOPLE GOING TO THE FACILITY WOULD PARK IN THE FRONT AND THE FRONT WOULD BE OVERFLOW. I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

IN THIS CASE THE ARCHITECT AND MY CLIENT DECIDED THERE WAS A CLEAR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE BUILDING AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIGHT THROUGH

THE ARCHITECTURE. >> THAT'S ALL I GOT. >> I AM STUDYING --

ANYTHING ELSE?THIS -- IS THAT WHAT WE WERE PROPOSING? >> ENTRANCE ON VIRGINIA AS

IT EXISTS NOW. >> I'M SORRY. THE SITE PLAN THE DARK AREA BE THE AREA THAT WILL BE CONSTRUCTING. PWE WILL NOT BE ADDRESSING THAT EXISTING ACCESS. WE HAVE A LETTER FROM DOT APPROVING THE PROJECT, WE HAVE A LETTER FROM, SING AGAIN FAIRLY SIMPLE APPLICATION.

[8. DIRECTOR'S REPORT]

REPORT. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. TODAY I LIKE TO MENTION A PROGRAM THAT THE CITY IS PROMOTING. THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM. IT IS AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS IN HIGH SCHOOL, WHO ARE BETWEEN 16 AND 18 YEARS OLD. THE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM IS SET TO BEGIN ON MAY 22 AND WE ARE ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THAT.

OFFERING $17 PER HOUR, FOR STUDENTS TO COME INTO WORK. IF YOU KNOW HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENT AND YOU THINK THEY MAY BE INTERESTED IN DOING SOME WORK BETWEEN MAY AND AUGUST OF THIS YEAR, GETTING THEM TO PUT AN

APPLICATION IN. >> WHAT KIND OF WORK ARE YOU TALKING?

I'M IN MY GRANDSON IS NOT GOING TO GRAB A SHOVEL. >> IT CAN BE ANYTHING.

WE TALK ABOUT A WHOLE RANGE OF CITY DEPARTMENTS. HE COULD DO SOMETHING FOR THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT OR THAT COULD BE PREPARING RESEARCH, DOING SOME INVESTIGATION, PREPARING MATERIALS. LEARNING ABOUT ORGANIZATION, MANAGEMENT, PROJECT MANAGEMENT. POLITICS.

IT COULD BE ANY OF THOSE THINGS DEPENDING ON WHICH DEPARTMENT.

>> THE BUILDING. KRESSA COULD BE IN THE FIELD, IT COULD BE PARKS.

>> ANYWHERE! >> HOW DO THEY GO ABOUT APPLYING?

>> IF YOU CONTACT ME, I CAN GIVE YOU THE DETAILS. IN FACT, WHAT WE WILL DO, I WILL SEND THE DETAILS OUT ALL OF THE MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING BOARD.

AND YOU CAN THEN DISTRIBUTE THEM IF YOU HAVE ANY INTEREST.

>> VERY GOOD. >> WHAT WAS THE AGE RANGE AGAIN?

>> 16 TO 18. IF THERE BETWEEN 16 AND 18, WE WOULD REQUIRE PARENTAL

CONSENT FOR THEM TO BE PART OF THE PROGRAM. >> THEY COULD BE COLLEGE

AGE? >> YES. AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD.

>> OKAY. >> THEY CAN BE 16 WITH PARENTAL CONSENT.

>> ANYTHING FURTHER? >> NO, CHAIR. >> YOU HAVE GOTTEN ANYTHING

DONE SINCE THE LAST? >> JUST WITH MY FEET ON THE TABLE.

[LAUGHTER] >> I WOULDN'T WANT YOUR SCHEDULE.

[9. BOARD COMMENTS]

>> IT'S CRAZY! >> I WOULD NOT WANT YOUR SCHEDULE.

BOARD COMMENTS. A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENING IN THE GENERAL LEGISLATIVE BODY, THEY ARE TRYING TO PASS VARIOUS NEW STATE STATUTES, THAT COULD DIRECTLY AFFECT CITY GOVERNMENTS. AND MUNICIPALITIES.

SOME IN A NEGATIVE WAY. THERE ARE TWO ARTICLES OF INTEREST.

ONE THAT WAS IN THE LOCAL SUNDAY PAPER. AND ANOTHER THAT WAS IN THE PAPER TODAY. IT HELPS TO IDENTIFY SOME OF THE AREAS THAT THESE NEW STATUTES MIGHT AFFECT OUR CITY GOVERNMENT IN A NEGATIVE WAY.

I AM BRINGING THAT UP FOR A COUPLE OF REASONS. ONE, MUCH OF IT IS ACTUALLY VERY MUCH INTEREST OF PLANNING. SO, TO BRING YOURSELVES UP TO DATE ON WHAT THE STATE IS DREAMING ABOUT REGARDING PLANNING, HOW THEY WANT TO GET THEIR FINGERPRINTS INTO LOCAL PLANNING, IT WOULD BE GOOD ARTICLES FOR YOU TO READ. BUT ALSO, THE STATUTE NUMBERS ARE LISTED IN THOSE PAGES. OF THE ARTICLE AND IT WOULD BE GOOD TO DROP OUR LEGISLATORS A NOTE AND TELL THEM WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE DREAMING

[01:40:01]

I WANT TO GET INTO THIS IN A POLITICAL NATURE, BUT THERE ARE THINGS THAT THE STATE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS HAVE BEEN WHITTLING AWAY AT LOCAL RULE, AND IT HAPPENS. THE SUNSHINE LAW SOMETIMES DOESN'T AFFECT THEM.

THE WAY THAT IT DOES UNI IT SEEMS. AND THEY WILL AWAY AT LOCAL RULE IN SUCH A WAY THAT WE DON'T ALWAYS CATCH THEM. WE DON'T ALWAYS SEE IT, SMELL IT, HEAR IT AND ALL THE SUDDEN, HERE COMES A STATE STATUTE AND KEVIN GOES AND TRIES TO DO SOMETHING, AND FOUND THAT HE'S NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT ANYMORE. WE NEED TO TRY AND STAY ON TOP OF THAT AS PART OF THE PLANNING EFFORT IN THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE. WANTED TO BRING THAT UP TO YOU. AND I THINK IT IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR US TO KEEP OUR EYE ON THE BALL AND WHAT'S GOING ON. IN THE ARTICLE TODAY, THERE WERE SOME VERY INTERESTING COMMENTS MADE BY VARIOUS PLAYERS, OUTSIDE OF LEGISLATORS. ATTORNEYS, PLANNERS, MADE VARIOUS COMMENTS CONCERNING WHAT THESE ORDINANCES, THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF THE ORDINANCES AND HOW IT MIGHT IMPACT LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES. IT IS A GOOD LEARNING TOOL.

THAT IS ALL I HAVE. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD?

>> JUST A COMMENT. CAN WE POSSIBLY HAVE CODE ENFORCEMENT? IN THE SCHOOL, SOMEBODY HERE WE TALK ABOUT SCHOOL BUS STOPS AND -- SHOULDN'T

SOMEBODY BE ABLE TO -- >> MR. SANDERS IS GENERALLY HERE TO REPRESENT THE

COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM. >> HE HASN'T BEEN USED IN SUDDEN PART OF THE BOARD.

IS HE HERE NOW? >> HE'S NOT HERE NOW. I SEE -- THERE ARE, THERE IS A CONFLICTING MEETING THAT HE ATTENDS AT TIMES. AND IT'S GOT SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD ITSELF. I THINK.

NOT THE WAY UNDERSTOOD. IN HIS DEFENSE, HE CAN ALWAYS BE HERE.

BUT I WILL SAY THIS REGARDING BUS STOPS AND SO ON.

HE GENERALLY MAKES GOOD COMMENTS, AND IT'S ALWAYS IN THESE DOCUMENTS.

ALTHOUGH, I DID NOT SEE WHERE THERE WERE RECENT SINCE THE TRC MEETINGS, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS IN REGARD TO WHAT WAS BEING DONE IN THE PLAN, AS IT CHANGED ON THE FRONT ENTRANCE OF THE PROJECT ON KINGS HIGHWAY.

BUT, THAT WAS A GOOD CATCH BY YOU, IN TERMS OF REALLY, A SINGLE LANE IS A BETTER OPTION. IT MAKES EVERYBODY STOP. YOU ARE RIGHT.

BUT SO, IN TERMS OF CODE ENFORCEMENT, I MEAN, I CAN IMAGINE CODE ENFORCEMENT HAS THE ABILITY ON A REGULAR BASIS, TO ATTEND THE MEETINGS.

>> NO, I THINK IF WE KNEW SOMETHING WAS GOING TO COME UP SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO CODE ENFORCEMENT, THEN OBVIOUSLY WE GET SOMEBODY IN.

WE WILL RELAY THE CONCERNS OF THE BOARD. >> I CAN RECALL WHEN WE WOULD HAVE CONDITIONAL USE ON ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES FACILITIES AND ONE ITEM, THAT CAME BEFORE US, I REQUESTED CODE ENFORCEMENT TO BE PRESENT.

BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN MULTIPLE CODE ENFORCEMENT ISSUES, LEADING UP TO THE DATE THAT THEY WERE HERE TO REACTIVATE THEIR ABILITY TO SELL ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE IN THE CITY I GUESS. I CAN'T MEMBER EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS.

I REQUESTED CODE ENFORCEMENT TO RESPOND AND THEY DID.

IN FACT, THAT PARTICULAR MEETING, WE ALSO HAD ONE OF THE TENANTS FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AVAILABLE ALSO. BECAUSE THERE WAS SOME SHADY ACTIVITY THAT HAD TAKEN PLACE. SO, IF YOU'RE STUDYING ONE OF THESE APPLICATIONS, AND YOU SEE SOMETHING THAT YOU THINK, CODE ENFORCEMENT -- ARE THEY THERE TO ANSWER

[01:45:01]

ANSWER ONE WAY OR THE OTHER FOR SURE. >> AND JUST TRYING TO USE A SEAT AS A SPRINGBOARD TO OTHER PROBLEMS WE GOT. IF I HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY.

>> I WON'T HESITATE TO ALLOW YOU TO DO THAT ANYTIME.

THIS BOARD HAS BEEN VERY ACTIVE IN RECENT YEARS, IN MOVING FORWARD, REQUESTS FOR AMENDMENTS TO VARIOUS ORDINANCES. THAT HAVEN'T BEEN WORKING OR HAD WEAKNESSES THAT WE RECOGNIZED, AND IT'S BEEN THE MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD THAT HAS REALLY BEEN ACTIVE IN GETTING SOME OF THAT DONE AND PROBABLY, THE BIGGEST WAS A CONDITIONAL USE FOR SHORT-TERM RENTALS. AND WE PUSHED HARD ON THAT ONE AND THE COMMISSION RESPONDED. SO -- ANYTHING ELSE?

>> I'VE GOT JUST ONE THING. [LAUGHTER] MAXING OUT THESE TWO HOURS! [LAUGHTER] JUST IN REGARDS OF LIKE, AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

I KIND OF WANT TO RETRACT MY STATEMENT ON WHETHER IF THE PLACE WAS GOING TO BE AFFORDABLE IN MORE SO, IS THIS GOING TO INCLUDE MIXED INCOME? BECAUSE WE ARE NOT TRYING TO JUST DESIGN JUST FOR ONE YOU KNOW SUIT, WE'RE TRYING TO MIX INCOME THEREFORE, WE ARE MIXING MINDS AND PEOPLE, AGES YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT. BECAUSE I THINK WHEN WE TALK ABOUT AFFORDABILITY, WE ARE ALWAYS THINKING, THE WORKING CLASS LOW INCOME, NO, WE TRY TO ASSIMILATE PEOPLE AND PLACES THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GO. HAVING THE IDEA OF MIXED INCOME I THINK IS A BETTER TERM TO USE. BUT YEAH.

>> I WANT TO REASSURE YOU THAT IT IS EXACTLY -- >> I WAS GOING TO SAY BECAUSE YOU MENTIONED PROBABLY TWO OR THREE MEETINGS AGO ABOUT TRYING

TO INFLUENCE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THAT. >> AND THEN HOPEFULLY, YOU'LL SEE SOME PROJECTS COME UP, WHICH IMPLEMENT THAT WAY OF THINKING.

>> AWESOME. THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY. >> THAT'S IT?

NOTHING ON ELECTRIC CARS? [LAUGHTER] >> ACTUALLY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT COUNTRY DOES BUT THEY ARE TRYING TO IMPLEMENT ROSETTE CHARGES THE CAR WHILE ON THE ROAD. THERE WILL BE NO NEED TO STOP AND CHARGE.

[INAUDIBLE] >> WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT COUNTRIES LIKE THE NETHERLANDS WANT TO DO SOMETHING INNOVATIVE LIKE THAT.

IT IS KIND OF LIKE SAYING, NEW JERSEY IS GOING TO DO IT.

>> WE GOT TO PUT INTO PERSPECTIVE. AMERICA IS JUST LIKE ESTRELA, VERY DIFFERENT COUNTRY THAN A LOT OF THE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES THAT WE LOOK AT AS BEING PROGRESSIVE AND HAVING GOOD IDEAS AND PROMOTING GOOD THINGS. IT WOULD BE MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO SAY LET'S PUT ROADS AND WE CAN BARELY PUT ROADS IN. IT IS ANOTHER WHOLE DISCUSSION. OKAY.NOTHING ELSE? WE ARE ADJOURNED.
