FROM THE PUBLIC. >> ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WISHING TO COME FORWARD, PLEASE COME PREPARED STATEMENT NAME, AND ADDRESS, AND MS. COX WILL GIVE YOU A 102ND WARNING.

WELCOME. >> 207 ORANGE AVENUE PARADIGM O THE AGENDA AND FOR ITEM EIGHT SEE, I DO MIX LIKE TO BE STANDING IN FRONT OF YOU ASKING FOR ANOTHER EXTENSION.

I REMEMBER CLEARLY AT THE LAST MEETING MAYOR HUDSON SAID THAT WOULD BE HER LAST EXTENSION. I HEARD THAT AND TOOK IT SERIOUSLY. THIS WAS OUR FIRST FAÇADE GRANT AND IF WE COULD GO BACK AND HANDLED THE EXTENSION PROCESS DIFFERENTLY, WE WOULD BURY ONE OF THE BIGGEST LESSONS I'VE LEARNED IS THAT THEY I SHOULD HAVE LAST FOUR AND LONGER EXTENSION FROM THE BEGINNING. HAD WE ASKED FOR A LONGER EXTENSION THE SECOND TIME AND MOST LIKELY WOULDN'T BE STANDIN IN FRONT OF YOU ASKING FOR ANOTHER WIN TONIGHT.

WE KEPT ASKING FOR SHORTER EXTENSIONS BECAUSE WE THOUGHT W HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GET IT DONE. IN HINDSIGHT, THAT WORKPLACE WORKDAY SKINS DOES BRIGHT LIKE TO EMPHASIZE FROM THE BEGINNING THIS ISN'T A TYPICAL STOREFRONT GREAT THIS IS A CONTRIBUTING HISTORIC BUILDING. WE HAD SOURCING AND DESIGN ISSUES WITH THE UNUSUALLY LARGE STOREFRONT WINDOWS.

WE COULD HAVE DOWNSIZED THEM, BUT THAT WOULD'VE COMPROMISED THE HISTORIC CHARACTER OF THE BUILDING.

AS WE SAID, WE WOULD RATHER ASK FOR ADDITIONAL TIME TO DO SOMETHING WRONG JUST TO MAKE TH DEADLINE.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO PUT THE FOUR EXTENSIONS INTO CONTEX BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T BEEN COMING FOR BACKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

WE HAD TENDON BUILDING VIOLATIO REQUIRING NAIL SERVICES.

WE HAD TO GET PART-TIME TENANT TIME TO CURE IT BECAUSE OUR VENTILATION OPTIONS WERE AFFECTED.

THE TENANT ULTIMATELY ASKED TO BE RELEASED FROM A MULTIYEAR LEASE AND WE WORKED WITH THEM T WHO IN TURN NEEDED TO TAKE TIME TO DO THE BUILD UP BEFORE WE COULD TO FINALIZE THE FAÇADE.

ONCE THAT WAS RESOLVED WE ENCOUNTER DELAYS WORKING THROUG THIS COA AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROCESS, DURING PART OF THAT TIME I WAS REQUIRE TO ROUTE COMMUNICATIONS FOR THE FORMER CITY ATTORNEY, I WAS TRYING TO GET ANSWERS TO VERY BASIC PROCEDURAL QUESTIONS COMMITTED ARE CHANGES NEED TO G TO THE HISTORIC BOARD, AND OTHE QUESTIONS, I'M NOT MENTIONING THAT TO ASSIGN LAME, BUT IT AFFECTED OUR TIMELINE.

HAD WE BEEN ABLE TO TALK DIRECTLY TO STAFF, WE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SET BACK MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THAT AS WELL.

WE ARE FINALLY READY TO GO FOR CONSTRUCTION AND THE CONTRACTOR CAME TO DO THE FINAL FIELD EVALUATION AND DETERMINE WHAT W HAD ORIGINALLY MEASURED AND PROPOSED WASN'T GOING TO WORK ONCE THEY REMOVED SOME OF THE TILES, WE DISCOVERED EVEN LESS SPACE THEN WE ORIGINALLY THOUGH .

YOU CAN SEE THIS IN THE PICTURE FROM OUR EXTENSION REQUEST HOW NARROW THE OPENINGS ARE. WE STILL PLAN TO MOVE FORWARD, AND WE'VE EVEN ASKED IF WE NEEDED TO STOP AND GO THROUGH WITH A NEW GRANT AND WE WERE ADVISED NOT TO DO THAT SINCE TH FUNDS WE'RE ALREADY HERE FOR THIS ONE PART IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS WHEN OUR AGENDA ITEM COMES UP, I AM HERE TO ENTER THEM FOR YOU. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU COME AT ME IN. ANY ONE ELSE WISHING TO ADDRESS

[7. CONSENT AGENDA]

THE BOARD? OKAY, LET'S MOVE ON.

>> THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS THE CONSENT AGENDA.

>> ANY ITEM THAT NEEDS TO BE PULLED OR IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA? CAN KEEP MOVE TO APPROVE.

>> SECOND. >> CALLED THE ROLL ROLE, PLEASE.

[A. Lincoln Park Community Master Plan Work-in-Progress Presentation by Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council]

[00:05:02]

THE LINKIN PARK COMMUNITY WORK IN PART BY THE PLANNING COUNCIL.

>> WE HAVE A PRESENTATION. >> WELCOME.

>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS, I AM DAY NOT LITTLE. IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN.

I AM THE URBAN DESIGN DIRECTOR FOR THE TREASURE COAST PLANNING COUNCIL AND I'M HERE WITH MY COLLEAGUES.

SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE MET HER AT SOME OF THE LINKIN PARK WORKSHOPS OR AT THE FESTIVALS THAT WE ATTENDED, WHICH WE WERE REMINISCING ABOUT THE OTHER DAY WHICH WAS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE . I AM ON A LIMITED TIME TONIGHT SO I'M GOING TO TRY TO GO QUICKLY.

>> IT'S NOT A BAD THING. >> I WAS INSTRUCTED TO MOVE SWIFTLY. SO I'M NOT TRYING TO JUST GET OUT OF YOUR. YOU ALL KNOW WHO WE ARE COMMITTED WE ARE A PUBLIC AGENC THAT PLAN FOR OUR FOUR COUNTY REGION, AND THIS IS THE STUDY AREA OF THE LINKIN PARK COMMUNITY MASTER PLAN WE'VE BEE WORKING ON SINCE LAST YEAR.

THE STUDY AREA EXTENDS FROM ORANGE TO TAYLOR CREEK IN THEN FROM 302ND TO U.S. ONE. I DON'T THINK WE REALIZED OR FULLY APPRECIATED AT THE TIME W SET THIS UP HOW BIG OF AN AREA IT IS AND HOW DIVERSE IT IS. IT HAS BEEN GREAT BECAUSE WE'VE ENABLED TO SEE ALL QUADRANTS OF THE COMMUNITY AND LEARN AN AWFU LOT ABOUT IT. JUST THE PROJECT COMPONENTS, WE WENT THROUGH A PERIOD OF DUE DILIGENCE INTO THE LONG SUMMER OF PLAN FOR AVENUE D AND WE ARE LOOKING AT DETAILED CONCEPTUAL PLANS FOR 23 DIFFERENT PARCELS ON THE CORRIDOR ARE GREAT FOR LOOKING AT ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN FOR INFIELD DEVELOPMENT IN WE ARE REALLY HOPING THAT THIS IS DOCUMENT AND A MASTER PLAN THIR REFLECTS ALL OF THE INPUT WE HAVE GOTTEN THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR. THAT HAS BEEN A LOT OF INPUT GREAT AS YOU KNOW AND MET WITH EACH OF YOU, WE HAD OUR INTERVIEWS, I HAVE SEEN YOU AT OUR DIFFERENT WORKSHOPS, WE HAV INTERVIEWED 30 DIFFERENT FOLKS INDIVIDUALLY, INCLUDING BUSINES OWNERS, PROPERTY OWNERS, AND WE'VE HAD THE THREE PUBLIC WORKSHOPS AS I MENTION. REALLY, SUCH A SPECIAL THANKS T THE FORT PIERCE REDEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION STAFF AND CITY STAFF . THEY WERE HANDS-ON THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS. IN ADDITION TO THE INTERVIEWS I THE WORKSHOPS, WE GAVE PRESENTATIONS TO THE CHAT SHOE TO INDU ON AVENUE D, THE FORT PIERCE YOUTH COUNCIL, WE HAD A BOOTH, SOME OF YOU MAY REMEMBER AT THE HIGHWAYMEN FESTIVAL AND AT THE EXPERIENCE, WHICH HONESTLY WAS SURPRISINGLY HELPFUL TO US. I DIDN'T KNOW IF PEOPLE WOULD THINK IT WAS WEIRD THAT WE HAD PLANNING BOOTH AT THE FESTIVAL, BUT WE WERE EMBRACED AS WE HAVE BEEN THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE PROCESS. IT WAS A GREAT WAY TO TALK TO FOLKS AND LET THEM KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING.

THERE WAS A LOT OF INTEREST. WE HAD OUR FIRST PUBLIC WORKSHO AT THE LINKIN PARK COMMUNITY CENTER IN FEBRUARY, THEIR WELL ATTENDED, AT THAT WORKSHOP IT WAS A LONGER PRESENTATION.

WE HAD INTERACTIVE BOARDS WHERE WE HAD FOLKS PUT THOUGHTS TO HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR PREFERENCES ARE, WHAT ARE THING WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO, AN THAT WE HAD A LONG CUBAN DAY SESSION WHICH WAS GREAT. THAT LED US TO THINK WE NEEDED TO REVISE OUR SECOND AND THIRD WORKSHOPS TO BE A LITTLE MORE INTIMATE NOW THAT WE HAVE BROKE THE ICE WITH THE COMMUNITY A LITTLE BIT. OF NOT GOING TO READ ALL OF THESE, BUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT STAND OUT, CERTAINLY CONCERNS ABOUT GENTRIFICATION AND MORE IMPORTANTLY DISPLACEMENT OVER TIME. THERE WAS A BIT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THE COMMUNITY WOULD REALL LIKE A DEEPER PARTNERSHIP WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN TO BE MORE VISIBLE WITH ONE ANOTHER.

WE LEARNED ABOUT THE PROPERTY AWARENESS PROGRAMS THAT ARE AN ISSUE IN THE LINKIN PARK COMMUNITY EN WE DISCUSSED THE LEGISLATION WHICH IS JUST IN MY BACKYARD WHICH IS SOMETHING WE ARE INCLUDING AS PART OF THE PLAN.

AUDREY MOORE, YOU'RE PROJECT COORDINATOR, TOOK THE SAME INTERACTIVE BOARDS, SO THAT THOSE THAT WEREN'T ABLE TO GET TO THE WORKSHOPS FOR WHATEVER CONFLICTS OR SHE WAS ABLE TO MEET THEM AT THEIR CHURCHES, SO WE CONTINUED TO GET MORE INPUT.

YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THE BOTTOM ONE, THE POOL IS A VERY POPULAR TOPIC AT THE PARK. THE SECOND WORKSHOP WORSE AT PERKY T PEAK JIM, THIS TIME WE BROKE UP INTO DIFFERENT GROUPS AND HAD FOUR KEY TOPICS. WE HAD A FACILITATOR AT EACH

[00:10:01]

TABLE, AND WE SPENT 20 MINUTES ON EACH TOPIC OR SO SO THAT FOLKS COULD JUST DISCUSS WITH ONE ANOTHER AND TALK ABOUT THES TOPICS, WHICH WAREHOUSING, DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN AND THE COMMUNITY, SPECIFIC AVENUE D ISSUES, AND THEN HEIRS PROPERTY ISSUES.

SOME OF WHAT WE HEARD HERE, AND IN THE REPORT WE ARE FINALIZING WE HAVE GOT PAGES OF ALL OF THE INPUT FROM ALL OF THESE WORKSHOPS AND THE INTERVIEWS AS WELL.

WE HEARD THINGS, WE REALLY NEED TO FOCUS ON SOME SHORT-TERM WIN THEY CAN GROW INTO MORE SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENTS.

NO MORE CONVENIENCE STORES AND THERE IS A NEED FOR MORE HEALTH FOOD OPTIONS IN THE COMMUNITY. MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING, WE HEA THAT ALL THE TIME. POSSIBLY MORE GRANTS FOR FAÇADE IMPROVEMENTS AND FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYER EDUCATION.

EDUCATION WAS A BIG PART OF WHA WE HEARD THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.

AND MART NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES. LET'S FILL AVENUE D BACK UP AGAIN. OUR THIRD WORKSHOP WAS IN MAY O THIS YEAR, IT WAS THE SAME FORMAT WHERE WE HAD THE GROUPS DIFFERENT TABLES, WAS THAT MIGH BE? FORGIVE ME, BUT THIS TIME IT WA FOR DIFFERENT TOPICS, SO THE FIRST WORKSHOP WE WERE ABLE TO HEAR WHAT ARE THE TOP TEN TOPICS , AND THEN THE NEXT TWO WORKSHOPS WE BROKE THOSE INTO PIECES SO THAT WE COULD DIVE DEEPER INTO THEM AND SPEND TIME BEYOND JUST THE THREE MINUTE Q& SESSION.

AGAIN WE HEARD THE COMMUNITY WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE THE POLICE BEATS BLOCKING THE NEIGHBORHOODS IN THEY WANT TO BECOME BETTER CONNECTED WITH TH POLICE.

MORRIS CREEK IS UNDERUTILIZED AND NEEDS MORE SUPERVISION PART SIDEWALKS, STREET TREES, AND LIGHTING IS HUGE.

WE HEARD THAT FROM THE KIDS AND THE YOUNG ADULTS I SHOULD SAY.

THAT'S IT. ACTIVATING THE PLAZA AT AVENUE AND 13 IS VERY IMPORTANT. FROM THOUGHTS, AND I THINK YOU KNOW THIS, WE'VE DONE A LOT OF ANALYSES AS WELL, 27 PERCENT OF OUR STUDY AREA ARE VACANT PARCELS, WE'VE DONE DEEP DIVES INTO THE ZONING AND DOING A REA EVALUATION OF THAT.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE DISCOVERED AS THE SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF NONCONFORMING RESIDENTIAL AND ARE THREE AND ARE FOUR PROPERTIES. SEE ALL OF THESE BLACK LOTS HER ARE NONCONFORMING, THAT'S ABOUT 63 PERCENT OF THE STUDY AREA.

NONCONFORMING AREAS IN THIS YOU U-2, WHICH IS SMALLER IT NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL, AND WE FOUND C3 WHICH IS GENERAL COMMERCIAL, THAT ABOUT 78 PERCENT OF THOSE PARCELS ON AVENUE D ARE CURRENTY NONCONFORMING.

THAT IS NOT TO SAY THAT MAYBE THEY COULD TO GET A SPECIAL EXCEPTION MP DEVELOPED, BUT THAT'S JUST AN EXTRA HURDLE.

THIS IS SOMETHING DEEP AND ANALYZING QUITE A BIT TO MAKE QUICK RECOMMENDATIONS OR CLEAR RECOMMENDATIONS AS TO HOW TO APPROACH THAT. THE AVENUE DEEPLY AND YOU SEE HERE OVERALL WE WENT IN INTO DESIGNS FOR EACH.

THIS FOR INSTANCES THE INTERSECTION OF 13TH AND AVENUE D WHERE THE ROUNDABOUT AND THE OBELISK ARE.

THOSE BROWN PROOFS WOULD BE NEW ROOFS, WE ARE DOING TABULATION TABLES TO SAVE WHAT THE FA ARE IS WHAT WE DESIGN, WHAT IS THE DENSITY, WHAT IS THE NET NUMBER OF COMMERCIAL SPACE.

WE THINK THIS IS HELPFUL BECAUS A PARKING, BE, WHAT DOES THE YIELD OF THESE PARCELS. WHAT WE TALKING ABOUT HERE IN TERMS OF LONG-TERM REDEVELOPMENT ? AND THIS IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION, BUT THIS IS BEING RENDERED NOW THIS IS A VIEW LOOKING ACROSS THE EXISTING OBELISK TO TEN HOUSES AND SMALL COMMERCIAL RIGHT THERE AT THE CORNER. WE DID THIS FOR 23 DIFFERENT PARCELS ON AVENUE G. THIS IS 13TH AND AVENUE D WHERE THE PLAZA IS TODAY. THE PLAN SHOWS UP MUCH MORE REDUCED PLAZA, USES ON THE GROUND FLOOR THAT HAVE EYES ON THE PLAZA THAT CONNECTS TO THE TO THE HIGHWAYMAN MUSEUM PARKIN LOT BEYOND AND THEN THIS IS A VIEW OF WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE. WE THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN SOME SORT OF COMMUNITY SPACE THERE, BUT SMALLER AND MORE MANAGEABLE THAT'S EASIER T SUPERVISE.

THE THOUGHT IS THE GROUND FLOOR HERE COULD BE LIKE ARTIST LOFT SPACE, STUDIO SPACE WITH A COFFEE SHOP CAPPING THE END AND THEN IT RESIDENTIAL ABOVE. WE DID A PLAN FOR THE BUELL BROWN CENTER AND DELIVERANCE OUTREACH MINISTRIES THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A DEGREE PROJECT. I WANT TO GO INTO THE DETAIL ABOUT THAT, BUT THERE ARE LOTS OF THESE INFIELD OPPORTUNITIES, NONE OF THE EXISTING BUILDINGS ARE DISPLACED THROUGH THIS.

[00:15:04]

I KNOW DELIVERANCE MINISTRIES A LEAST AT ONE POINT HAD A SIGN U FOR A BIG CHURCH THEY WANTED TO BUILD THERE, AND THAT MAY STILL BE THE PLAN, AND THAT'S FINE, BUT IF THAT PLAN FOR WHATEVER REASON DOESN'T HAPPEN, THIS AT LEAST ILLUSTRATE SOME DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL AND REVENUE GENERATING POTENTIAL.

WE'VE IDENTIFIED A BUNCH OF INTERSECTIONS AND STREET SECTIONS THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE GOT GREAT INFORMATION FROM THE COMMUNITY ABOUT WHERE THE CRITICAL POINTS ARE FOR SIDEWALKS AND STREET LIGHTING S WE DEVELOPED A LOT OF THESE STREET SECTIONS TO SHOW STREET IMPROVEMENTS, SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET, FORMALIZED ON STREET PARKING. STREET TREAT, LIGHTS, ET CETERA.

WE'VE DONE THIS, AS WELL AS SOM OF THESE BEFORE AND AFTER RENDERINGS, THIS IS 13TH AT G AND THEN 13TH AT GE AGAIN.

JUST SIMPLE IMPROVEMENTS CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

WE HEARD FROM THE YOUTH THAT SIDEWALKS ARE AN ISSUE.

WE ALSO WE'RE CHARGED WITH LOOKING AT THE PORT TO PARKS CONNECTION. JOSH, WE HAVE MET MANY TIMES AN WE HAVE WORKED WITH HIM, THESE AREAS OF RETENTION AND DETENTIO REPRESENT THE NUMBERS THAT HE GAVE US AND THEN WE'VE GONE THROUGH AND DONE A SERIES OF DESIGN INTERVENTIONS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PARK, WHICH INCLUDES NEW STRUCTURES THAT YOU SEE AND READ, THE TWO NEW PONDS, ACTIVITY TRAILS ALL THE WAY AROUND AS WELL AS AN EXPANSION TO THE COMMUNITY CENTER.

I WANTED TO SHOW YOU THIS. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE GEM AND PAL BEACH COUNTY. THIS IS THE LEAGUE READY NATURE TRAIL AT THE SOUTH MANAGEMENT HEADQUARTERS SPRAYED WHAT I LOV ABOUT THIS IS A LOT OF TIME ENGINEERS WILL TELL YOU YOU CAN PUT TREES NEXT TO YOUR DETENTIO OR RETENTION OR WHATEVER.

THESE ARE THE EXPERTS AND THIS IS WHAT THEIR LEG LOOKS LIKE.

IN THE TRAIL LOOKS LIKE. I THINK THIS WOULD BE A BEAUTIFUL MODEL FOR WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO THE PORT TO PARKS CONNECTION. AS I SAID WE'RE DOING A DEEP DIVE INTO THE ZONING, TRYING TO PICK THROUGH AND IDENTIFY THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE CRITICAL.

WE WILL BE BASED UPON INPUT THI EVENING AND WHAT INPUT WE MIGHT GET FROM STAFF, THE PLAN IS FOR US TO COME BACK TO YOU IN NOVEMBER, NOVEMBER 10TH IS THE CURRENT DATES, WHERE WE WOULD PRESENT FOR FINAL APPROVAL OR ADOPTION.

AT THAT POINT WE WILL HAVE SUBMITTED TO YOU A REVISED FULL DRAFT. I WARN YOU IT'S GOING TO BE BIG.

IT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

HOW FAR OVER TO VIGO? >> I DIDN'T KEEP TIME, THAT YOU

DID GREAT. >> OF COURSE I'M HERE TO ANSWER

ANY QUESTIONS. >> I HAVE TO SAY I'M GLAD YOU TOLD US ABOUT ANDREA GOING TO THOSE CHURCHES, I THINK THAT IS REALLY SOMETHING SHE SHOULD BE COMMENDED FOR BECAUSE THAT WAS

GREAT IDEA. >> IT WAS A GREAT IDEA IN IT WA HER IDEA AT FIRST I THOUGHT THA SHE HAD ALL THE POSTERS PRINTED AND SHE WENT, SPENT SEVEN EVENINGS THERE, IT WAS FANTASTIC

. >> GREAT.

COMMISSIONERS? COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS?

>> THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

AS YOU KIND OF VISION TOUTS SOM OF THE THINGS, I SAW YOU HAVE SOME BUILDINGS, ET CETERA, SO YOU KIND OF GATHERED THAT FROM INPUT FROM THE WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS, SO WHAT I SEE THERE, I GUESS SO AND APPROPRIATELY BASE ON THE LOT SIZING YOU TALKED ABOUT NOT CONFORMING, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THE VISION IS CAST BECAUSE WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED THE EXERCISE, IT WAS OBVIOUSLY THESE PROPERIES ARE OWNED BY SOMEBODY, AND WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND WHAT CAN AND CANNOT GO IN THESE RESPECTIVE PLACES, SO IS THAT ULTIMATELY WHAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE WOULD YOU GIVE THIS BACK TO US IN SOME FORM, THOSE LANDOWNERS WILL HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO SEE IT AND REALIZE IT?

>> I HOPE SO. FOR ZONING ISSUES COULD BE A RELATIVELY EASY FIX THAT COULD JUST BE A TEXT AMENDMENT IN SOM CASES. WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT WHOLESALE REZONING PEOPLE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT ALTHOUGH WE DO HAVE IDEAS ABOUT MAY BE A DIFFERENT FUTURE LAND USE.

IS THERE A WAY TO FOCUS IT? HAVING THOSE TINY THOUGHTS ON AVENUE D IN SOME WAYS IS ALMOST A BENEFIT IT'S AN INCENTIVE TO

[00:20:02]

COME IN AND TO ALLOW SOMEBODY T BUILD THERE.

WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF A RESISTANCE THAT HAS BEEN.

>> I THINK WE STARTED THIS CONVERSATION SIX OR SEVEN YEARS AGO AND WE TALKED ABOUT THAT, THE CONCEPT IS AND YOU MENTIONE IT, WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THA HAVE INHERITED THESE PROPERTIES AND SOME MAY LIVE HERE AND SOME MAY NOT.

IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THE EGG OF WHAT CAN I DO AND HOPEFULLY THI WILL BE A CATALYST TO GIVE THOS PROPERTY OWNERS AN IDEA FOR INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY ON PROPERTIES THAT THEY OWN.

THAT WOULD BE THE MISSION I HOP TO FULFILL WITH THIS PROJECT IS THAT WE HELP TO CONNECT THE COMMUNITY WITH WHAT IS POSSIBLE WITH PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY OWN THE PROPERTY HOW DO WE CONNECT THEM TO CAPITAL ET CETERA TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

>> WHEN WE SUBMIT THE DRAFT AND THAT BECOMES PART OF THE AGENDA PACKAGE, IF THERE ARE HOLES IN THE DOCUMENTS, YOU BE SURE TO LET US KNOW BECAUSE IF WE NEED TO GO BACK AND REVISIT SOME THINGS, WE CAN DO THAT. THE HEIRS PROPERTY DISCUSSION ABOUT THE INHERITANCE ISSUES AN ALL OF THAT, VERY IMPORTANT, WE HAD TWO FOLKS IN OUR WORKSHOPS THAT ARE EXPERTS AT THAT LOCALS AND I GOT TO INTERVIEW BOTH OF THEM, AND WE'RE ALSO INCLUDING IN THE REPORT LINKS TO PROGRAMS THAT ARE IN OTHER PLACES, THE LEGAL SOCIETY OF PALM BEACH COUNTY AT THINK, THEY HAVE A BI AS PROGRAM AND WE ARE PROVIDING THE LINK WITH A LOT OF RESOURCES . A LOT OF THESE DISCUSSIONS ABOU THERE'S A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH AND HOMELESSNESS, WE'RE NOT GOING T THINK THE IS ISSUES THROUGH THI PROJECT, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF RESOURCES OUT THERE I THINK PEOPLE MAY NOT BE AWARE OF AND IF WE CAN AT LEAST MAKE THEM AWARE OF IT, THAT IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

THE HOMELESS DISCUSSION WE HAD THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS I VERY INTERESTING BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST THE GUY ON THE CORNER.

THANK YOU. >> I AM EXCITED ABOUT WHAT WORK YOU'VE DONE AND WHAT YOU'VE PRESENTED HERE TODAY.

THE LIMITED LOT SIZES DOES CONCERN ME A LOT.

WE ARE A 125 -YEAR-OLD CITY, SO WE'VE GOT THINGS THAT JUST DON' FIT IN TODAY'S PLANNING WORLD AFTER 1985 OR WHATEVER IT WAS BACK THEN. SO WHAT WE NEED IS TO UNDERSTAN THE POLICIES THAT WE NEED TO BRING FORWARD TO HELP OUR PLANNING STAFF AND HELP THE PUBLIC BE ABLE TO WORK WITHIN THESE CONSTRAINTS IF YOU WILL TRY TO FIGURE OUT WAYS TO UNCONSTRAINED THEM AND CREATE A OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO MOVE THINGS FORWARD. THAT IS SOMETHING I HAVE SEEN FROM AFAR AND NOTE THAT I'M HERE , IT IS SOMETHING WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH AND FINDING THOSE POLICY MEASURES WILL BE HELPFUL TO GROW THAT COMMUNITY.

>> I'M GOOD. THANK YOU.

ESPECIALLY WHEN WE WENT TO THE CHURCHES YOU ARE THERE ANSWERIN ALL THE QUESTIONS, AND THAT WAS A BIG DEAL.

THEY WILL BE PART OF THE COMMUNITY.

IT'S A BIG STUDY AREA. THE MEETING THAT I ATTENDED HAS POLICE REPRESENTATIVES I THINK THE WHOLE POLICING WAS GOING TO BE DISCUSSED. I'M VERY HAPPY THAT THEY WANT MORE PRESENCE AND MARKET VISIBILITY MORE VISIBILITY, AND I THINK BECAUSE IN THE PAST, AN IT HASN'T BEEN IN THE RECENT PAST, BUT SOMETIMES IN THE PAST WE'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH COOPERATION, BUT IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE THAT MIGHT BE CHANGING SO THE AMOUNT OF INVOLVEMENT, I UNDERSTAND ALL THE MEETINGS WER VERY WELL ATTENDED, SO I AM VER VERY HAPPY ABOUT THIS.

I TOO AM EXCITED. I THINK IT'S GOING TO--YOU PUT LOT OF WORK AND THOUGHT INTO IT AND I APPRECIATE THE COMPLETENESS OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE .

>> THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE? I HAVE A QUESTION THAT IS YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO COME IT IS AMENDMENT THREE, DOES IT AFFECT THE TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL?

>> DIRECTLY? I DON'T THINK SO.

BUT I THINK PALM BEACH COUNTY STANDS TO LOSE $340 MILLION A

[00:25:02]

YEAR, AND EVERY LOCAL GOVERNMEN A THINK AND REGARDLESS OF THE SIZE, IS GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE DIFFICULT DECISIONS.

WE DON'T KNOW YET HOW, IF IT WILL DIRECTLY AFFECT US.

I APPRECIATE YOU THINKING OF US. >> SOMETIMES WE DON'T THINK ABOUT FOR INSTANCE THE CHILDREN SERVICES COUNCIL HERE WILL BE AFFECTED, AND THE ST. LUCIE COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT WILL BE AFFECTED, SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST THINKING ABOUT CITY AND COUNTY GOVERNMENT AND NOT THINKING ABOUT KIND OF OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, OTHER SET ME GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS THAT

WORK CLOSELY WITH US LIKE YOU. >> WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE.

WE ARE NOT REALLY SURE. WE'RE TRAINED NOT TO SPECULATE AND RUN AROUND WITH HER HAIR ON FIRE, BUT EVERYBODY IS GOING TO TAKE A HIT. I WORRY ABOUT THE MUNICIPAL SERVICES THAT ARE ALREADY ON TH BUBBLE IN SOME CASES.

IT'S EXPENSIVE AND WE TALKED ABOUT THIS THROUGH THE PROCESS, IT'S EXPENSIVE TO MANAGE AND OPERATE MUNICIPAL POOL, BUT IT' VERY IMPORTANT. IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED LIKE UTILITY. WHEN YOU ARE CONFRONTED WITH THIS SORT OF AMENDMENT CHANGED NOW, I WORRY THAT THINGS LIKE THAT, THOSE AMENITIES THAT ENRICH COMMUNITIES ARE GOING TO

BE LAST. >> THEY MIGHT BE THE FIRST ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK. SORRY TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT, BUT IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH O

EDUCATION ON THAT. >> CERTAINLY OUR BOSS TOM HAS, AND I WANTED TO ADD ONE LAST THING, YOU MADE ME THINK OF IT WITH REGARD TO THE POLICE OFFICERS BEING THERE.

WE TRIED THROUGHOUT ALL OF THES WORKSHOPS TO KEEP EVERYONE'S EXPECTATIONS WITHIN REASON. EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THAT TIME ARE TIGHT AND THAT FPRA ISN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO COME THROUG AND BUILD SIDEWALKS AND THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY NEXT YEAR, BUT I THINK FOLKS APPRECIATED THE FACT THAT WE WERE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION AND NOW THESE ITEMS ARE ON THE LIST AND WE CAN STAR TO TAKE THEM OFF. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HER WITH US. THANK YOU, JESSICA.

[B. Update on the Purchase of 1238 Avenue D]

>> THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS THE UPDATE ON THE PURCHASE O

1238 AVENUE D. >> THE UPDATE ON THE PROPERTY, AND HIS GUN AND AN ENVIRONMENTA STUDY AND THE NEXT STEP IS

CLOSING ON THE PROPERTY. >> THIS ITEM IS REALLY JUST AN UPDATE HEARD THERE IS NO ACTION REQUIRED.

YOU'VE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED THE PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT.

THE LAST TIME I WAS BEFORE YOU THINK AT THE JUNE MEETING, WE RECEIVED A PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL , WE DISCOVERED THERE WERE SOME DRY-CLEANING SERVICES AND SOME FUELING SERVICES TAKING PLACE NEAR THE SITE, SO THEY RECOMMENDED THE PHASE II. I'M HAPPY TO REPORT PHASE II CAME BACK WITH NO ADDITIONAL FINDINGS IN THEY DID NOT REQUIR ANY ADDITIONAL TESTING, SO WE ARE MOVING FORWARD TO CLOSE.

I'M HOPEFUL WE CAN CLOSE THIS WEEK IN WE ARE READY TO GO.

THAT LAST WE ALSO DISCUSSED, WE DIDN'T TAKE A BOAT, BUT I FEEL THE CONSENSUS WAS TOWARDS DEMOLITION, SO OF THAT STRUCTURE , I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS STILL HOW YOU FEEL, IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS THAT TONIGHT OR IF I CAN COME BACK TO YOU ABOUT FURTHER DIRECTION ABOUT THE DESTRUCTION OF THAT.

>> THERE'S NO SALVAGEABLE VALUE THERE.

>> YEAH. >> YOU HAD HELD OUT HOPE.

>> I CAN'T BUY IT CHEAP AND REMODEL IT.

IT'S A GOOD VALUE FOR THE LAND. ISO- NO VALUE IN THE STRUCTURE ITSELF FOR THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE, AND TO CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN IT, WE WOULD BE DUMPIN TRUCKLOADS OF MONEY INTO IT.

>> ANYBODY DISAGREE WITH THAT? I THINK YOU HAVE A CONSENSUS.

DO YOU NEED ANYTHING ELSE FROM US?

>> GIVE US FIVE SLEDGEHAMMERS AND WILL GO OUT THERE.

>> WE DO A LOT OF THE GROUNDBREAKING, WE CAN DO THE

OPPOSITE. >> WHEN IS THE PROJECTED CLOSING

? >> THIS WEEK.

>> COOL, GET IT DONE. THE 17TH.

TWO DAYS. OUTSTANDING.

>> BEER HAPPY TO MOVE THIS ALONG .

YOU DIDN'T LET IT SIT. >> OKAY, I WILL COME BACK BEFOR

[00:30:02]

YOU WITH THE DEMOLITION AGREEMENT, AT HEX TO WORK ITS WAY THROUGH THE CITY APPROVAL PROCESS, NOT THE AGREEMENT OF THE ACTUAL DEMOLITION SO FOR TH FUNDING OF THAT, THAT WILL COME

BACK BEFORE YOU. >> IT'S IN A HISTORIC DISTRICT.

BUT THE BUILDING IS A NON- HISTORIC STRUCTURE.

>> WE'VE ALREADY INITIATED THAT PROCESS.

WE SHOULD BE GOOD. >> IF YOU GET ANY PUSHBACK, LET

ME KNOW. >> THANK YOU.
