AND WHEREAS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS PARTICULARLY DEVASTATING BECAUSE IT IS SO OFTEN OCCURS IN THE PRIVACY OF THE HOME, A PLACE MEANT TO REPRESENT SHELTER AND SECURITY.

AND WHEREAS EACH YEAR IN THE UNITED STATES MORE THAN 10, MILLION WOMEN AND MEN EXPERIENCE PHYSICAL ABUSE BY THEIR INTIMATE PARTNERS, MANY OF THESE VICTIMS EXPERIENCE REPEAT ABUSE OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR. AS UNSETTLING AS THE STATISTICS ARE. IT IS ALSO DISTURBING TO REALIZE THAT 90% OF CHILDREN OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS ARE EYEWITNESSES TO THESE ATTACKS.

TO TELL YOU THAT THE INCIDENTS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL PARADISE THAT WE GO HOME HAS BEEN DECREASING. BUT THE OPPOSITE IS THE REALITY. WE MUST RECOGNIZE THAT OUR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PANDEMIC HAS EXISTED LONG BEFORE THE COVID 19 OUTBREAK. THIS PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE HAS ONLY ACCESS ER, BAITED EVEN MORE. THE INCIDENTS OF INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE. WE SHOULD NOT AND CANNOT REMAIN SILENT ABOUT HOW THIS CRIMINAL ACTS IN FACT, MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITIES. DURING FISCAL YEAR, 2021 SAY SPACE PROVIDERS SERVICES TO HAVE 157 RESIDENTS. OF MARTIN COUNTY, CONSISTING OF 105 WOMEN, 18 MEN AND 34 CHILDREN. THESE INDIVIDUALS RECEIVE CLOSE TO 1900 OUTREACH PROGRAMS SERVICES FROM OUR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ADVOCATES, INCLUDING OUR INVEST ADVOCATE WHO SPECIALIZES IN SERVING VICTIMS AT RISK. FOR HIGH MORTALITY. AND WHO SERVED 58 PARTICIPANTS WHO WERE THREATENED WITH HOMICIDE.

IN ADDITION TO THE EVIDENCE, HUMANISTIC AND PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS ON THE VICTIMS, THERE IS ALSO AN ENORMOUS ECONOMIC IMPACT ON SOCIETY FROM DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

REPORTED BY THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. THE ASSOCIATED MEDICAL CAUSE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, LOSS OF EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT COSTS. THE STATISTICS ARE NO SURPRISE.
WHEN WE KNOW THAT NEARLY 20 PEOPLE PER MINUTE ARE PHYSICALLY ABUSED BY AN INTIMATE PARTNER IN THE UNITED STATES 20 PEOPLE PER MINUTE EVERY SINGLE DAY. THAT FAR, WOMEN ARE MURDERED BY THEIR PARTNERS ON A DAILY BASIS. AND I RESEARCH STUDY FOUND THAT CHILDREN EXPOSED TO VIOLENCE IN THE HOME WHERE 15 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE PHYSICALLY AND OR SEXUALLY ASSAULTED THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. I BELIEVE THAT WE WOULD ALL AGREE THAT VIOLENCE IS WRONG. AND MUST BE PROSECUTED ACCORDINGLY. NOT ONLY ARE THE DIRECT VICTIMS IMPACTED, BUT ALSO THE FAMILY MEMBERS, THE TAXPAYERS, OUR ECONOMY AND THE SMALLEST AND MOST VULNERABLE. OUR CHILDREN. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS A SERIOUS NATIONAL, SOCIETAL AND ECONOMIC ISSUE THAT EVERYONE HAS A ROLE IN ERADICATING. OFTEN WITNESSES TO DOMESTIC ABUSE ARE AFRAID TO SPEAK UP OR TO GET INVOLVED.

HAS A CRITICAL ROLE TO PLAY AND AWARENESS OF COMPUTER SECURITY ESSENTIALS WILL IMPROVE THE SECURITY OF THE CITY OF STEWART'S INFORMATION, INFRASTRUCTURE AND ECONOMY. AND WHEREAS THE CYBERSECURITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY AGENCY OR CIA, PSA AND THE NATIONAL SABRES SECURITY ALLIANCE AND SEE ECE. HAVE CHOSEN. THIS YEAR'S THEME IS DO YOUR PART BEAST CYBER SMART. WHICH ENCOURAGES INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS TO OWN THEIR ROLE IN PROTECTING THEIR PART OF CYBERSPACE, STRESSING PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND THE IMPORTANCE OF TAKING PROACTIVE STEPS TO ENHANCE CYBERSECURITY. NOW THEREFORE I ULA ARE CLARK, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF STEWART DO HEREBY PROCLAIM OCTOBER 2021 IS CYBER SECURITY AWARENESS MONTH IN THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA AND ENCOURAGE ALL CITIZENS TO LEARN ABOUT CYBERSECURITY? AND PUT THAT KNOWLEDGE INTO PRACTICE IN THEIR HOMES, SCHOOLS, WORKPLACES AND BUSINESSES. THANK YOU. AND FOR THIS AWARD, WE HAVE AN INSIDE JOB OR OWN I T DEPARTMENT THERE IN DUKE.

DARREN DUKE TECHNOLOGY SERVICES DIRECTOR FOR THE RECORD. UM THE CITY OF STEWART'S IS PROBABLY HAS HAS MORE EXPERIENCE WITH THE RATIONALE BEHIND CYBER SECURITY. EVEN MOST ORGANIZATIONS REPRESENTED TODAY IN HERE, AND I JUST WANT TO KIND OF GIVE YOU SOME STATISTICS THEY PULLED. TODAY FROM OUR OWN CYBER SECURITY SECURITY APPLIANCES. UM FIRST, A NUMBER FROM CAESAR, WHICH IS MENTIONED IN HERE, THERE'S A THERE'S A RANSOMWARE ATTACK.
ACTIVE RANSOMWARE ATTACK EVERY NINE MINUTES. A UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 99% OF THOSE DO NOT
[00:50:06]
ORIGINATE FROM OVERSEAS THEY ORIGINATE FROM INSIDE THE UNITED STATES. SO IT IS A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT OUR OWN INFRASTRUCTURE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT'S BEING USED TO HACKERS. YOU KNOW IRAN, NORTH KOREA. TAKE YOUR PICK. DON'T DIRECTLY. ATTACKERS WERE DIRECTLY ATTACK AN AMERICAN COMPUTER NETWORK. BUT THEN ATTACKS IS THAT'S HOW WE GOT HIT BACK IN 2000 AND 19. SO SOME STATISTICS ABOUT THIS SINCE SINCE SEPTEMBER 6TH THIS YEAR. I WILL. FIREWALL HAS STOPPED 440,000 INTRUSION ATTEMPTS. SOME BREAKDOWNS ABOUT THAT'S THAT'S 12,000 PER DAY. THAT'S 500 PER HOUR. IT'S EIGHT PER MINUTE, WHICH IS JUST OVER ONE A SECOND. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THE MORE EDUCATION WE HAVE, THE MORE KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE THE MORE SHARED RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE REDUCE THAT NUMBER. AND THANKFULLY THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND STATE GOVERNMENTS ARE NOW TAKING IT SERIOUSLY ENOUGH THAT THEY'RE STARTING THESE CAMPAIGNS, AND THIS IS ACTUALLY THE FOURTH CYBER SECURITY AWARENESS MONTH.

STORMWATER MASTER PLAN 2021 UPDATE
]MASTER PLAN UPDATE. MR TIM WALKER, CITY CITY ATTORNEY'S CITY ENGINEER, AND MR MILTON LIKE IT. CITY PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. GOOD EVENING MAYOR, VICE MAYOR COMMISSIONERS TIM VOLKER FOR THE RECORD UTILITIES AND ENGINEERING DIRECTOR AND MILTON LIKE IT. THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. UH, WE'RE. ACTUALLY HERE, THEY FIRST INTRODUCED JOE CAPRA FROM CAP TECH AND TERRY ANDRES. ALSO IN THE CROWD. UH SHE WORKED VERY DILIGENTLY ON OUR MASTER PLAN FOR THE PAST YEAR. WE'RE HERE TO PRESENT IT. UM FIRST, THE KIND OF BRINGING IN A LITTLE BIT BACK UP TO SPEED. UM BACK IN AND KIND OF END OF MAY EARLY JUNE OF 2020, THIS AREA OF RECEIVED A HISTORIC RAINFALL, YOU KNOW? I WOULD SAY IT'S 20 PLUS INCHES FOR THE AREA, WHICH IS SIGNIFICANT FOR ONE MONTH, EVEN BY FLORIDA STANDARDS, SO RIGHT AFTER THAT RAINFALL IN MAY AND JUNE OF 2020 PRESENTED A FLOODPLAIN AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PRESENTATION AT THE JULY 13TH 2020 MEETING. JUST TO KIND OF DISCUSS THE UPDATED FEMA MAPS KIND OF GET INTO A LITTLE BIT OF THE RECENT RAINFALL WE HAD THE PRIOR MONTH AND THEN ALSO DISCUSS KIND OF HOW ENGINEERS AND PLANNERS GO ABOUT. LAYING OUT ROADS, BUILDINGS AND SO FORTH. AFTER THAT PRESENTATION, IT WAS KIND OF BROUGHT UP THAT IT'S TIME TO DUST OFF THE MASTER PLAN FOR THE CITY SO PREVIOUSLY TO THE CITY HAD TO STORM WATER MASTER PLANS. UM ONE WAS BACK IN 1993 AND THEN AGAIN IN 2000 AND SIX IT'S ABOUT 14 YEARS IS A PRETTY LONG TIME. IT WAS TIME TO LIKE
[01:10:05]
I SAID, DUSTED OFF REALLY WHAT WE WANTED TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THIS MASTER PLAN IN JOE'S GOING TO GET INTO A LOT MORE DETAIL IS. TO KIND OF LOOK AT THE PROJECTS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY PRESENTED BACK IN 93, YOU KNOW SIXTH TO SEE WHAT WASN'T DONE, AND THEN ALSO SOME OF THESE AREAS THAT RECENTLY FLOODED DUE TO THE HISTORIC RAIN AND IN MAY AND JUNE OF 2020. AND THEN AGAIN, UM IN AUGUST OF. THIS YEAR. 2021 ON AUGUST 13TH. WE RECEIVED NINE INCHES OF RAIN AND IN LESS THAN THREE HOURS, WHICH IS VERY SIGNIFICANT, SO. REALLY THIS IS THIS PLANS, A ROADMAP FOR FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS. WE'RE GOING TO KIND OF GO INTO DETAIL AND ALSO AS PART OF THIS PLAN THAT THE PREVIOUS PLANS DIDN'T. GET INTO A SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCY.YOU KNOW THOSE TWO TERMS WE'RE REALLY NOT PREVALENT BACK IN 93, 06 AND. LAST COUPLE YEARS, THE FOCUS HAS REALLY BEEN ON SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCY. SO WE ADDED A SECTION INTO THE STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN TO TALK ABOUT THOSE TWO TOPICS AND. WITH THAT. I'LL LET JOE KIND OF TAKE OVER THE PRESENTATION. GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. AS UH, TIM SAY, STATED ON JOE CAPRA AND TERRY ANDRE HERE TODAY TO AND I HELP ME A LITTLE BIT ON THE PROJECT. THIS AGAIN IS AN UPDATE OF YOUR STORM WATER MASTER PLAN AND. I COULD TALK A LOT ABOUT IT ALL THE DIFFERENT ITEMS. I'M. PLAN, BUT I THOUGHT I'D QUICKLY GO THROUGH THIS. ACTUALLY TIM TOLD ME I ONLY HAVE 15 MINUTES AND HE TOLD ME I HAD BETWEEN FIVE. SORRY. 4, 15 AND 4 30. THE DREAM. YOU WANT ME TO SPEAK VERY QUICKLY, SO I HAVE 14 SLIDES. I'LL GO THROUGH THEM REALLY QUICKLY WITH YOU. TAKE YOUR I ALWAYS LIKE TO REMIND PEOPLE THE FIRST THING ON THE STORMWATER PROGRAM AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. THERE ARE THREE COMPONENTS AND I BRING HIM UP BECAUSE WE GET PEOPLE THAT LIKE TO SHORTCUT ON DESIGNED THE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT. BUT THE FIRST ITEM IS CONVEYANCE. PIPES, CURBS, GUTTERS SWELLS. BASICALLY YOU KNOW THAT PRETTY MUCH BRINGS EVERYTHING YOU KNOW FROM THE WHERE THE RAIN FALLS BRINGS IT INTO THE SYSTEM. AND ULTIMATELY IT BRINGS IT TO A STORAGE AREA, WHICH IS LIKE A TREATMENT POND LIKE THIS SHOWS HERE. IN STORAGES, DETENTION RETENTION. AND AS ALL OF YOU KNOW, WE'D LIKE TO HAVE A LOT OF TREATMENT NOW BECAUSE WE'RE REALLY. TRYING TO CLEAN UP OUR RIVER FROM THE LOCAL DISCHARGES IN THE LAST THING IS DISCHARGED. BASICALLY THAT DISCHARGE INTO THE. INTO THE RIVER. UM AND EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW. OBVIOUSLY WE WANT TO LIMIT THAT. AND NOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO FIND WITH RESILIENCY AND SUSTAINABILITY IS WE NEED TO CONTROL THE SEA LEVEL RISE AND SO. WOW, THOSE ARE SOME REALLY IMPORTANT THINGS I THINK IS IMPORTANT TO MENTION BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST FORGET ABOUT THOSE COMPONENTS. UM, THE NEXT ITEM.
I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS BUT ESSENTIALLY. THESE ARE THE CHAPTERS IN THE REPORT. I COULD GO THROUGH THE WHOLE REPORT WITH YOU. WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME YOU'D BE FALLING ASLEEP AFTER THE SECOND. SECOND SLIDE BUT BASICALLY IDENTIFY THE PHYSICAL STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE. WE RECOMMEND SOME IMPROVEMENTS. UM WE LOOKED AT SOME REGULAR. WE LOOKED AT YOUR REGULATIONS, AND THEN WE PROVIDED A STORMWATER BUDGET AND DISCUSSING FUNDING OPTIONS.
ESSENTIALLY THAT'S WHAT THE REPORT TOTALLY TALKS ABOUT. I KNOW WE WANTED IT GOES ON TO HISTORY AND SO FORTH. WE ARE CHANGING THE COVER OF THE REPORT. SO WHAT YOU HAVE IS A DRAFT AND WE WILL BE CHANGING. THAT FOR YOU? AGAIN UH CHAPTER ONE IS REALLY JUST AN INTRODUCTION. PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ON THIS SLIDE IS REALLY TO TALK ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF STORMWATER MANAGEMENT IS TO REMOVE POLLUTANTS ALLEVIATE FLOODING.
BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE FORGET THAT WE REALLY NEED TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC BECAUSE THEY'RE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE THEY'RE PUTTING THIS POLLUTANTS OUT THERE AND THEY NEED TO TELL US WHAT'S FLOODS AND SO FORTH BECAUSE THEY'RE THE GUYS ON THE GROUND ON EVERYTHING. AND SO ARE LIKE, I GUESS THEY CALL IT THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND. SORRY ABOUT THAT. ANYWAY STRATEGIC GOALS. I THINK THE ITEM TO PROBABLY NOTE HERE IN, UM IS VULNERABILITY BASICALLY THE POSSIBILITY OF FLOODING DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND SEA LEVEL. UM LISTEN, LET'S BE HONEST ABOUT THIS. STEWART IS IT HAS A HIGH VULNERABILITY FOR FLOODING AND IN THE IMPACT FROM SEA LEVEL RISE AND THAT CLIMATE CHANGE AND WE'VE ALREADY EXPERIENCED THAT. SUSTAINABILITY THAT'S THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN IMPROVE STANDARDS WITHOUT THE IMAGING OR DEPLETING OUR NATURAL RESOURCES. AND LAST, BUT NOT LEAST YOU ZILLION SEE ITS ABILITY TO RECOVER FROM THE STORM EVENT RAPIDLY WITHOUT DISRUPTING YOUR ECONOMY AND THE ENVIRONMENT AND. I THINK YOU ALL SHOULD KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A GRANT THAT IS A VULNERABLE VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT REPORT THAT WILL BE WORKING ON IN THE NEXT YEAR, SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WILL BE INSERTED INTO YOUR
[01:15:03]
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN. SO I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THERE'S THIS. THIS IS A WORKING PROGRESS DOCUMENT. WILL BE CHANGING. IT'S DYNAMIC AND SO FORTH. SO. REALLY? I THINK THAT HISTORICAL REVIEW I DON'T WANT. I THINK TIM ALREADY TOLD YOU ABOUT THE TWO STUDIES 93. THAT WAS ONE WHICH STARTED YOUR STORM WATER UTILITY FEE. UM BASICALLY THAT WAS UPDATED IN 2000 AND SIX PROBABLY SOME THINGS THAT WERE ADDED IN 2600 DEAL. MAINLY WOULD BAFFLE BOX.AND WATER FIRE, BOTH BOTH. ISSUES REALLY KIND OF DELVE INTO ADDING WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS. YOU KNOW, THERE USED TO BE WHERE WE TRIED TO DRAIN AND LAND AS FAST AS WE COULD. LOT OF THAT WAS STORMWATER, YOU KNOW, FLOOD CONTROL ITEMS, BUT BASICALLY ADDED, WE ADDED WATER QUALITY TREATMENT IN THE NINETIES. AND OBVIOUSLY WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT EVER SINCE. AND WE'RE NOW AT A HIGHER LEVEL. ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT WAS REQUIRED A MISTAKE PUT OUT THERE WAS A BASIN MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN AND BASICALLY, UH, ON THE RIGHT SIDE, YOU CAN SEE THIS MAP IS REALLY THE ST LUCIE. ESTUARY BASICALLY BE MAPPED AREA AND AS YOU KNOW, THE CITY OF STEWART'S RIGHT HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL OF IT, AND ESSENTIALLY, WE HAVE REQUIREMENT. AND TO THE CITY'S CREDIT, THERE'S A IT'S A 15 YEAR PROGRAM. THE FIRST FIVE YEARS YOU EXCEEDED YOUR REQUIREMENTS. THE SECOND FIVE YEAR INCREMENTS YOUR ONLINE. DO THE SAME. AND QUITE HONESTLY, I'M SURE PRETTY SURE IF YOU FOLLOW SOMEONE RECOMMENDATIONS HERE AND CONTINUE ON WITH THE PROGRAMS THAT YOU ARE ON YOU WILL YOU WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BEAM. NEXT ITEM IS ACTUALLY YOU KNOW, PRETTY MUCH BMPS. I JUST MAKE SURE EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THEIR STRUCTURAL FACILITIES THAT YOU PUT OUT THERE AND ON THE GROUND, BASICALLY, THEY. THEY THEY CONTROL STORMWATER RUNOFF. THEY BASICALLY HELP THEM AT DISCHARGE CONVEYANCE AND EVERYTHING. AND THEN THERE'S NON STRUCTURAL ITEMS, PUBLIC EDUCATION AND AGAIN. AS I START STATED EARLIER, WE CAN'T DO ENOUGH OF THAT. TO BASICALLY UNDERSTAND WHERE THE PROBLEMS ARE AND NOT TALK ABOUT HOW WE CAN IMPROVE OUR WATER QUALITY TREATMENT AND SO FORTH. IN THE COURSE. ANOTHER BIG ITEM THERE IS MAINTENANCE AND THAT'S ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS STUDY IS TO PROVIDE. UM UM NOT THAT YOU'RE NOT DOING A GOOD JOB ON MAINTENANCE WITH THE STAFF THAT YOU HAVE, BUT WE'VE BEEN TO DEATH. BE STEPPING UP OUR MAINTENANCE. HERE. AND AGAIN, I THINK WHAT THE CITY HAS DONE AND REALLY, REALLY NEW TOOLS IN THE TOOL CHEST. WHETHER YOU KNOW PERVIOUS SURFACES SUBJECT TO SEWER. A BIG BENEFIT IS SUBJECT TO SEWER. IN THE EMAIL PROGRAM. REMOVAL OF NUTRIENT LAID INSIDE AILMENTS, FLOCK LOGS C LEVEL COASTAL VALVES. ESTAS BIO SWELLS. ALL THESE THINGS THE CITY HAS BEEN DOING A LOT OF LOT OF OTHER COMMUNITIES ARE CATCHING UP. UM PROJECT IDENTIFICATIONS. I THINK THAT WE START EVERY PROJECT. PRETTY MUCH UNDERSTANDING. YOU KNOW WHAT? WHERE ARE WE TRAINING AND WHAT DO WE DRAINING AND SO FORTH IN? WHAT'S IMPORTANT ABOUT THIS MAP? IT PRETTY MUCH OUTLINES FOR YOU, YOU KNOW, PRETTY MUCH NORTH. NORTH OF THE ROOSEVELT BRIDGE AND SOUTH OF THE ROOSEVELT BRIDGE, AND NOT ALL THESE AREAS ARE IN THE CITY. IT'S IMPORTANT. RECOGNIZE THAT YOU KNOW YOU HAVE YOUR BASINS, BUT YOUR BASINS ARE IMPACTED BY. OTHER MUNICIPALITY. UH, DRAINAGE ONTO YOU. AND SO. TO MANAGE YOUR SYSTEM. THE BETTER. YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THOSE SYSTEMS WORK. UP. ITEM NEXT ITEM THAT HAPPENED AFTER WE KIND OF IDENTIFIED THE BASINS. UM WE PRETTY MUCH TALKED ABOUT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. MOST OF THE CAPITAL. IMPROVEMENTS IN THIS PLAN ARE ARE FROM RESIDENT COMPLAINTS. SYRIA STEWART, YOU KNOW, RECEIVING COMPLAINTS BASICALLY EXPERIENCE OUT THERE. UM THIS IS THE SECOND GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT WE TALKED WITH WHERE THE PUBLIC STAKEHOLDERS OF THE D O T. THEY OPERATE FACILITIES AND IN TOWN. MARTIN COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS HAS DRAINAGE FACILITIES IN TOWN THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY MAINTAINED THEIR FACILITY IN SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT MARTIN COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT, SO WE MET WITH THEM AND AGAIN. OUR PURPOSE OF THAT WAS TO MAKE SURE WE ACCOMMODATED ALL THE AREAS OF MAINTENANCE FOR ALL THE SYSTEMS IN THE IN THE CITY. THEY'RE IMPACTED BY THIS OR INTO THE CITY. ONE ITEM THAT I KIND OF ALWAYS LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IS THERE ARE OTHER. UH THERE ARE OTHER PRIVATE SYSTEMS OUT THERE POS SYSTEMS AND SO FORTH. ALL OF THOSE ARE ALSO REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE KEEP TRACK OF AND MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND HOW THEY'RE MAINTAINING THE OPERATOR. BECAUSE THEY WILL AFFECT AFFECT HOW WELL YOUR SYSTEMS WORK, SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THE PRICE I THINK THE TAKEAWAY FROM THIS SIDE IS WE NEED TO THESE ARE IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THE COMPLAINTS. NO, THE STAKEHOLDERS THAT IMPACT OUR SYSTEM, BUT ALSO THERE ARE. CHARACTERS THERE'S COMMERCIAL. THERE IS A PUBLIC THERE'S PROPAGANDA ASSOCIATIONS AS PRIVATE CITIZENS AND AGAIN, OTHER MUNICIPALITIES. THE NEXT ITEM ON THE. PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS. WHAT WE PREPARED FOR YOU IS A LIST OF
[01:20:03]
PROJECTS. I THINK THEY'RE ABOUT 2027 OF THEM. THAT WE CAME UP WITH, UH, PROJECTS THAT BASICALLY NEEDED TO HAVE IMPROVEMENTS THERE. THEY WERE IN AREAS WHERE THERE WAS STRUCTURAL FLOODING. OTHERS WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THEIR COST EFFECTIVENESS. THE RELATIVE TO THE CITY GOALS FOR STORM, WATER QUALITY AND RELIGION, FLOOD CONTROL AND, OF COURSE, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE BENEFIT THE CITY RESIDENTS. WE THEN RANK THEM FROM HIGH MEDIUM AND LOW PRIORITIES. EMILY PREPARED PRELIMINARY DESIGN AND COST ESTIMATE AT EACH PROJECT. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF JUST BASICALLY. THINK THIS IS THE NORTH RIVER SHORE AREA WHERE WE PROVIDED STORMWATER IMPROVEMENT PLAN AND THEN IT COST ESTIMATE FOR HIM. SO YOU KIND OF KNOW WHAT TODAY'S COSTS ARE ON THIS THESE IMPROVEMENTS. UM I THINK THE NEXT ITEM KIND OF LITTLE ELSE SEQUENCES AS WE ALSO LOOKED AT THE REGULATORY REVIEWS THAT YOU HAVE NEXT THREE SLIDES PRETTY MUCH TALK ABOUT THAT, YOU KNOW? PRETTY MUCH AS I STATED EARLIER. THERE'S SYSTEMS THAT ARE PRIVATE CITY COUNTY. YOU KNOW, WE WANTED UTILIZE A UH, BUT. MOST OF US UP TO DATE CRITERIA, WHICH I'LL GO OVER THE MINUTE TO COMPARE YOUR CRITERIA WITH OTHER MUNICIPALITIES AND THEN LAST, BUT NOT LEAST AT A MAINTENANCE ELEMENT. AND THEN THOSE ARE JUST NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND RETROFITS. THERE'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT STANDARD, BUT THEY'RE ALL TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE STORAGE CONVEYANCE OF DISCHARGE WATER QUALITY FLOOD CONTROL. BUT PROBABLY ONE OF THE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS THAT ACTUALLY HAVE. FREEMAN WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN GETTING STARTING WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU CONSIDERED THE DOWNSTREAM IMPACTS FROM DEVELOPMENT, NEW INFILL DEVELOPMENT ONTO THE JASON. EITHER JASON PROPERTIES ARE DOWNSTREAM PROPERTIES, WHICH IS WHICH IS A GOOD IMPROVEMENT TO THE SYSTEM. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST I ALWAYS LIKE TO MENTION IS THAT THERE'S A LEVEL OF SERVICE ON ALL THESE STORM WATER SYSTEMS. AND YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO OBVIOUSLY DO THE BEST WE CAN. BUT AS MOST OF YOU KNOW IT'S KIND OF A BAD BALANCING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T DESIGN EVERYTHING TO THE HONEY JAR STORM OF THAT WE OBVIOUSLY STORE WATER IN STREETS. STORMWATER STORE WATER IN WROTE ROADWAYS, OF COURSE, BUT ALSO IN, UM IN RETENTION AREAS. STORMWATER TREATMENT AREAS, BUT MORE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE OTHER STORM EVENT THAT WE HAD BACK ON THE 13TH OF. I GUESS IT WAS AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER. I THINK IT WAS SEPTEMBER. PRETTY MUCH THAT WAS, UH, NINE INCHES AND THREE HOURS THAT WAS EQUIVALENT OF A 500 YEAR STORM EVENT, BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINED ABOUT. THAT THE STORMWATER IMPACTS AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO DO SOME DESIGN ASPECTS OF TO MAKE THAT EASY FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE WITH, BUT ESSENTIALLY, THAT'S A FLASH FLOOD. AND THOSE ARE THINGS THAT THOSE ARE LITTLE CHALLENGES THAT WE HAVE TO WORK WITH. BUT I THINK WHAT WE FOUND OUT IS HOW FAST DID THOSE COME DOWN TO THE NORMAL? UH HOW FAR? HOW FAST ARE THEY CLEAR OUT THE STORM, WATER AND SO FORTH. AND OF COURSE, WE ALWAYS WANT TO PROVIDE TREATMENT BEFORE WE DISCHARGE. BUT THAT'S WHY I'M POINTED OUT TO YOU THAT WE NEED THE THREE ELEMENTS CONVEYANCE RETENTION AS WELL AS DISCHARGE MUCH AS PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO SEE DISCHARGE INTO THE RIVER. YOU NEED ALL OF THOSE TO MAKE THE SYSTEM WHERE PROPER. MM NEXT ITEM IS REALLY SOME REGULATORY REVIEWS. I'M JUST GOING TO HIT. THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE HIGH HIGHLIGHTED ITEMS THERE, FOR EXAMPLE, WATER QUALITY AND FLOOD CONTROL PROTECTION. YOUR SYSTEMS TYPICALLY, AND MOST SYSTEMS IN THE AREA ARE ONE INCH OF RUNOFF, WHICH WE PROVIDE FOR WATER QUALITY OR 2.5. TIME DIDN'T PREFER PERVIOUS. MARTIN. CONNIE REQUIRES THREE INCHES UM, SO THAT THAT LIKE THAT'S A LITTLE HIGHER STANDARD, OKAY, AND I WANT TO CONSIDER THAT THE OTHER THING THAT'S HAPPENING NOW THAT MOST OF YOU PROBABLY KNOW IS BECAUSE OF THE BASINS THAT WE'RE IN. THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS CURRENTLY ON OUR AREA IS TO PROVIDE NUTRIENT LOAD REDUCTION ANALYSIS, AND THAT'S A HIGHER LEVEL THAN ACTUALLY THE THREE INCHES OR THE ONE INCH OKAY, AND SO WE'RE REQUIRED BY PERMIT, BUT. WHAT HAPPENS IS A LOT OF THE DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CITY DON'T HAVE TO GET A WATER MANAGEMENT PERMITS SO THEY DON'T ALWAYS GET INTO THIS CRITERIA. SO NUTRIENT LOAD REDUCTION CALCULATION. MAYBE SOMETHING WE'D WANT TO CONSIDER. UP OUR GAME ON STORM WATER QUALITY. UM THE NEXT THING DISCHARGE, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY, THE DISCHARGE CANNOT EXCEED THE 31 DAY. BASICALLY, THERE'S. FOUR STORM EVENTS THERE. THAT'S CONSISTENT TO WHAT WE HAVE RELATIVE TO DISCHARGE ROAD RIG ROAD LEG GRADES. UM PRETTY MUCH YOU WANT TO PLACE YOUR ROADWAYS ABOVE CERTAIN FLOOD ELEVATIONS. YEARS OF THE THREE YEAR, ONE HOUR STORM ELEVATION THAT'S NOT SIGNIFICANT MARTIN CONNIE'S 10 YEARS. IT'S A MAJOR COLLECTOR.ITS 25 YEAR, THREE DAY SOURCES. SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT, FIVE YEAR 20 HOUR OR HOURS AND AGAIN, THE SAME COUNTIES 10 YEARS, SO THERE'S SOME PLAY AND WHAT WE CAN IMPROVE UPON IN THAT AREA. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT. PARKING LOTS OF THE FIVE YEAR, ONE HOUR STORM EVENT
[01:25:02]
AGAIN THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE SUPREME SURROUNDING MUNICIPALITIES AND, UH, LAST BUT NOT LEAST, HAS FINISHED FLOOR ELEVATIONS. PRETTY MUCH PUT THEM TWO FT. ABOVE THE FEMA, FLOOD ELEVATION OR 18 INCHES ABOVE THE COMMON STREET. THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH CURRENT CRITERIA. UM. PRETTY MUCH ON THIS SLIDE. I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH EVERY ONE OF THESE THINGS. EARLIER ABOUT THE INFELD DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE THAT YOU JUST PASSED ON. OTHER TALK FURTHER ON THAT. BASICALLY, RESILIENCY AND SEA LEVEL RISE, YOU KNOW? THERE'S A RESILIENCY STUDY. I TOLD YOU THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING IN THE NEXT YEAR FOR YOU. THAT THE ITEM THAT WE FOUND IMPORTANT IS MAYBE SOME TITLED CHECK VALVES ON SOME OF THE OUTFALLS, POSSIBLY A BACKUP PUMP SYSTEM. BECAUSE, AS YOU KNOW, UM. SOME AREAS DO FILL UP WITH WATER. WE CAN'T GET THE WATER OUT. QUICK ENOUGH. THERE MAY NOT BE POWER. SO YOU MET ONE GENERATORS. THEY CAN BACK THAT UP. SHORELINE STABILIZATION IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT. MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE EROSION INTO THE RIVER. RAISED BUILDING PADS, YOU KNOW? ESSENTIALLY IF YOU LOOK AT SEA LEVEL RISE IF YOU LOOK AT THE AVERAGE THAT THEY PREDICT, AND THERE'S VARIOUS LEVELS OF SEA LEVEL RISES, DEPENDING ON THE STUDY, BUT THE NOAH STUDY PRETTY ONE PRETTY MUCH WANTS TO USE THE INTERMEDIATE. THEY SHOW IN 2000 AND 40, ABOUT TWO 2.65 FT OVER ICE AND SEA LEVEL IN OUR AREA IN 2000 AND 17. IT'S ALMOST THREE FT. NOW I KNOW EVERYBODY'S SAYING, WELL, I CAN'T GUARANTEE YOU KNOW WE DON'T WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE. THE VARIOUS PRACTICE. THERE'S VARIOUS STUDIES ON THIS, BUT ESSENTIALLY WE NEED TO BE PREPARING FOR IT. AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING ANOTHER MUNICIPALITY. AGAIN WE'RE SEEING INCREASED STORM EVENTS IN WHICH SEEING FREQUENCY AGAIN, ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS TO IS THE NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM AND IN ONE WAY AND AGAIN IS ONE THING TO KEEP YOUR EYE ON AS A COMMUNITY RATING SYSTEM. WHEN YOU EDUCATE YOUR PEOPLE ABOUT FLOODING AND SO FORTH, AND YOU. IMPRESS UPON THEM HOW THEY NEED TO RAISE ELEVATIONS ON THEIR PROPERTY AND THEIR HOMES OR WHATEVER THEY'RE DOING. PROVIDE MORE RETENTION, BASICALLY, UH, THEY GET YOU CAN GET A DISCOUNT ON FLOOD INSURANCE. IN AGANA. THE IDEA IS TO GET INSURANCE HAVING AN INSURANCE PROGRAM THAT THEY CAN AFFORD. OTHER REGULATORY CONSIDERATION. AGAIN I'VE ALREADY EXPLAINED MOST OF THESE ISLANDS. I THINK THE BIG ITEM IN THERE IS LET'S MAKE SURE WHERE ONCE WE COME UP WITH. THE CALCULATIONS. WE WANT TO PROVIDE A CALCULATION THAT SIMPLE FOR NOT ONLY THE ENGINEER IN TOWN, BUT ALSO THE RESIDENTS, THEY CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THEY'RE PROVIDING MORE RATE TENSION ON THE PROPERTY. DON'T MAKE THAT SIMPLE FOR THEM. AND YOU'VE ALL PUT THAT POINTED THAT OUT WHEN I KEPT FREEMAN BROUGHT THAT UP THAT ORDINANCE. AND SECOND. THE OTHER THING IS TO MAKE SURE WE OPERATE.MAINTAIN NOT ONLY THE CITY SYSTEM, BUT WE MAKE SURE THAT THE PRIVATE SYSTEMS ARE MAINTAINED. UM, LET'S SEE. OKAY, FUNDING. YOU ALL HAVE A STORM WATER UTILITY FEET. WHICH PRETTY MUCH IS. SEE THAT'S CURRENTLY HAS $7 FOR MONTHS. 7 99 IS AN AVERAGE THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF FLORIDA. THESE ARE STATISTICS FROM THE FOUR STORMWATER ASSOCIATION, ESSENTIALLY UM. I LIKE TO TELL PEOPLE YOU KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD MONITOR BECAUSE COST OF STORMWATER MANAGEMENT HAS GONE UP. AND OBVIOUSLY YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH MONEY COMING IN. HELP RELIEVE THIS. SO I'M NOT GOING TO SAY THAT YOU NEED TO ALWAYS RAISE THIS FEE, BUT IT IS ONE OF THE IMPORTANT THINGS THAT CAN GET YOU NOT ONLY MONEY FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION. ALSO CAPITAL PROJECTS. THANK YOU PUT ABOUT $250,000 A YEAR INTO THAT RIGHT NOW FROM JUST CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT. BUT BASICALLY YOU CAN GET A LOT OF. MONEY FOR OPERATIONS. BUT THE OTHER THING THAT'S IMPORTANT ABOUT THAT UTILITY FEE IS WHEN A GRANT AGENCY SEES THAT YOU HAVE THAT BE. THEY OBVIOUSLY GIVE YOU SOME POINTS, IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO THAT. UM YOU VERY EFFICIENT ON MAINTAINING YOUR SYSTEM AT NINE MILES A STORM PIPE 38 BAFFLE BOX 16 AND 25TH THAT SPACE AND YOU DO THAT WITH THREE FULL TIME EMPLOYEES. UM, AND THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE ALL THE SWELLS AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT THEY'RE MAINTAINING. SO THEY'RE DOING ALREADY PRETTY GOOD JOB.
AND OBVIOUSLY WHEN THEY NEED HELP, I KNOW MILTON. ASK YOU TO DO SOME SOME CONSULTING PEOPLE.
CONTRACTORS TO HELP YOU. BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER YOU'RE DOWN TO QUITE A FEW. THAT'S TRUE. THAT'S TRUE NUMBER POSITIONS IS THAT I THINK YOU PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE AND YOU HAVE EQUIPMENT ALSO THAT YOU HAVE TO SUPPORT. AGAIN AS AS A SYSTEMS GET OLDER, YOU'RE GOING TO BE MAINTAINING THAT NEED TO KEEP TRACK OF THAT. I ALWAYS RECOMMEND TO EVERYBODY TO AGGRESSIVELY PURSUED GRANTS TO LEVERAGE. AVERAGE YOUR FUNDS THAT YOU PUT IN THERE FROM THE
[01:30:02]
STORM OF UTILITY. I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN THAT AREA AS WELL AS MOST MUNICIPALITIES AND THE TREASURE COAST. BUT YOU GOT TO KEEP YOUR EYE ON THAT AND YOU'VE GOT TO PURSUE THEM ALL AND I KNOW THERE'S OTHER THERE'S OTHER OPTIONS FOR FUNDING. IS TO USE AND CLEAN WATER STATE REVOLVING AND SO FORTH LEGISLATIVE FUNDING THAT YOU 7% THIS IS THE LIST THAT WE CAME UP WITH. A LIST OF ABOUT 28 PROJECTS. WE THIS ONE. PRETTY MUCH IS THE HIGH PRIORITY LIST HERE. IT'S ABOUT $5.2 MILLION WORTH OF WORK. PRETTY MUCH IT. LINE. SOME.DRAINAGE WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS, UM, BECAME HIGH PRIORITY IF WE IF IT. BASICALLY MITIGATED SOME STRUCTURAL FLOODING IF THERE WAS A LONG TERM PROBLEM. IF WE HAD MORE COMPLAINTS, AND ALSO IF THERE WAS A VERY AVAILABILITY OF FUNDING OUT THERE, THERE'S GRANT FUNDING. WE WANT TO GO CAPTURE IT NOW. SO THAT'S HOW THIS LIST BECAME HIGH PRIORITIES. UM THE MEDIUM PRIORITY PROJECTS ARE ABOUT 2.4 MILLION AND I WOULD USE HIGH PRIORITIES IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. THINK DON'T TELL ME YOU HAVE ABOUT $2 MILLION SET UP IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS SET UP A GUN. FUNDS THAT ARE AVAILABLE, BUT THAT'S I'M SURE THAT WILL CHANGE FROM TIME TO TIME. AND THE NEXT ONE MEDIUM MEDIUM. WE'RE THINKING THAT'S FROM ABOUT 5 TO 10 YEARS AND LOW PRIORITY PROJECTS. AFTER ABOUT 10 YEARS AGAIN, IT'S $12.7 MILLION. I MEAN, AND THESE CAPITAL AND PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AGAIN. ONE OF THE THINGS WHEN YOU GET DONE WITH OUR STUDY IS TO DETERMINE PROBABLY A RACE STUDY TO DETERMINE WHAT WHAT YOU SHOULD BE PUTTING ASIDE FOR STORM WATER. THEM AND THESE ARE THE AND THESE ARE THEM, UM IN HERE. THE MEDIUM. PROJECTS AND THEN THE LOW LOW. PRIORITY PROJECTS HERE. I STATED WORK KIND OF A WORK IN PROGRESS, I THINK. SLIDE THAT TALKS ABOUT SOME PROJECTS THERE. AREAS THAT FLOODED DURING THE EVENT THAT WE HAD ON 8 13 21. SOME OF THESE. SAY ABOUT TWO THIRDS TO HALF OF THESE ARE ALREADY IN THE PROGRAM. BUT BASICALLY THERE'S A COUPLE THAT WE PROBABLY WILL BE ADDING AND THE PROGRAM SOME OF THEM ARE ALREADY THERE. ESSENTIALLY, YOU KNOW. WATER. LOOK AT SOME OF THESE A LITTLE BIT CLOSER SINCE THAT RAIN EVENT AND AGAIN THAT WAS A THAT WAS A. FLASH FLOOD, SO I'M NOT SAYING THAT. EVERY GENERAL EVERY REQUIREMENT THAT WE PUT ON ANY NEW DEVELOPMENT WOULD HAVE THE CRITERIA MEET THE CRITERIA FOR THAT STORM. WE CAN LOOK AT WAYS TO LOWER THE FLOOD LEVELS ON THAT ON THAT PROJECT TO OR TO AT LEAST MAKE SURE IT COMES TO IT DROPS QUICKLY AFTER THE STORM. WITH THAT I'LL ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS. MR VOLCKER AND MR UM. PEPPER THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. OUR MISS, EITHER ONE OF YOU. THE NEW SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN PUT IN BEHIND THE WINE SEEING ALONG MONTEREY ROAD. AND COME IN. TO PALM BEACH ROAD. AND DEALING WITH, I GUESS, A LITTLE WILLOUGHBY CREEK AND ALL THAT. HOW EFFECTIVE. THAT HAS BEEN I KNOW THAT WE HAVE A SEPTEMBER ALL THIS FLOODING OR SO THAT YOU MENTIONED AND IT WAS ALSO A FLOODING ON. US ONE. I THINK IN FRONT OF CARRABBA'S, WHERE WE HAD A BIG INCIDENT. BUT HOW? EFFECTIVE. UM IMPLEMENTING THIS PLAN OR TRYING TO GET SOMETHING GOING? SOME OF THE IDEAS. FIRST OF ALL, I THINK MOST OF YOU KNOW THAT CLEAN OUT OF THAT SYSTEM WAS DONE BY MARTIN COUNTY. YES IT YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE I STATED MAINTENANCE IS A IS SHOULD SHOULD. FOR ANYTHING.
IT SHOULD BECOME A MORE OF A PRIORITY. NOW THAT SYSTEM WAS THERE FOR A LONG TIME. THERE WAS LITTLE MAINTENANCE OF IT AND WHAT WE FIND OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, AS AS. I TELL PEOPLE I CAN DESIGN A SYSTEM. BUT GUESS WHAT? WHEN THE. WHEN A GARBAGE CAN LID COMES DOWN AND BLOCKS OF PIPE BECAUSE THEY. NOBODY'S MAINTAINING STUFF. IT HAPPENS. AND THEN WE BASICALLY. FLOOD ELEVATIONS. I THINK IT HAS HELPED THE SYSTEM. I DON'T DOUBT THAT. CRITICISM I'VE HEARD THAT PROBABLY THERE COULD BE SOME SOME REPLANTING OF SOME AREAS SO YOU CAN DO THINGS WITH THAT SYSTEM AND AGAIN. MAYBE YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY SOME NUTRIENT LOAD REDUCTION ITEMS IN THERE. THERE ARE THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE TO ENHANCE THAT SYSTEM. IT'S ALL A MATTER OF HAVING THE MONEY FOR IT. AND I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU. WE'RE DOING STORMWATER MASTER PLANS FOR JUST ABOUT EVERY MUNICIPALITY IN THE AREA. EVERYONE SAYS THE SAME PROBLEM
[01:35:02]
YOU DO. NOT ENOUGH MONEY NEEDING MAINTENANCE. YOU KNOW, THEY ALL WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING. BUT SOMETIMES YOU KNOW THOSE THINGS TAKE TIME TO CLEAN OUT COME UP WITH A PROGRAM THAT MAYBE. AND BE A LITTLE MORE ATTRACTIVE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I THINK THE SYSTEM WORK BETTER. BUT I THINK MILTON AND TIM PROBABLY COULD TALK ABOUT IF THEY SAW ANY ADJUSTMENTS THAT ARE NEEDED TO THAT SYSTEM. I DON'T REMEMBER. MOST OF THE RESIDENTS THEY WERE REQUESTING ADDITIONAL TREES. THEY WANT BLOCKAGE UP THERE, BUT UH, THE SYSTEM WORKED PRETTY WELL. GET OFF MY ARTICLE ON IT. THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU, MR CAPPER. ANYBODY ELSE HAS ANY QUESTIONS? MR CAPRA OR MR VOLKER? I HAVE ONE, MR. MCDONALD. UH, JOE. I WAS LOOKING THROUGH THE PRIORITY LIST AND LOOKING THROUGH THE HIGH PRIORITY ITEMS AND I THINK THERE WAS WHAT $5.2 MILLION.12 MILLION DOLLARS WORTH. I THINK OF TOTAL, BUT I THINKING. TO GO BACK TO THAT LIST. IT'S FIVE MILLION ON THE HIGH PRIORITY. YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.FIVE MILLION IN THE HIGH PRIORITY SO IF WE WERE GOING. TO IF YOU ARE GOING TO WHERE, IF WE'RE PRIORITIZING THE HIGH PRIORITY PROJECTS WOULD WE BE BETTER IF WE HAD SAY $2.5 MILLION AND YOU'VE GOT TO DO THE TWO BIG PROJECTS OR A BUNCH OF SMALLER ONES? UM FAR AS PRIORITIZING. UM. BECAUSE SOMETIMES COST DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN WHAT'S GOING TO GIVE US THE MOST BANG FOR THE BUCK. AND IT'S KIND OF SEE IF WHAT YOU THOUGHT ON THAT.
WELL. QUITE A BIT OF WORK WITH MICHELLE SO WE CAN HEAR YOU, MR CAPRA. I DID QUITE A BIT OF WORK WITH MICHELLE ON STRATEGIZING AND STORM WATER. GRANT FUNDING, OKAY AND YOU KNOW, THE. BUT I KIND OF LOOK AT FIRST OF ALL IT'S NOT ONLY THE BENEFIT THAT'S THAT'S THE FIRST ITEM. BUT HOW AM I GOING TO GET THE MONEY? OKAY AND IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR TOP PRIORITIES THERE, THERE'S DRINK. THERE'S DRAINAGE OKAY, WHICH IS WHAT CONTROL AND BAFFLE BOXES. OKAY, SO THAT HAS WATER QUALITY. SO YOU KIND OF NEED TO GET MOST OF THE GRANT MONEY. YOU NEED SOMETHING THAT HAS A COMBINATION OF BOTH PRETTY MUCH ALWAYS PROVIDE WATER QUALITY TO ANY ONE OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS, AND WE HAVE DONE THAT IN ALL THESE. WE'VE ALSO PROVIDED IN MOST OF THESE, YOU'RE GOING TO FIND RESILIENCY ITEMS. STUFF THAT CONTROLS UM, SEA LEVEL RISE. OKAY SO ALL OF THOSE COME PLAY TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE MUST AND MAY NOT BE ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION DIRECTLY, BUT. WHAT WE FIND IS A LOT OF THE STATE FUNDING IS FOR WATER QUALITY TREATMENT. OKAY AND SO THAT'S ONE SOURCE OF FUNDING THAT YOU GO AFTER. OKAY THE SECOND THING IS YOU ARE PART OF THE LMS PROGRAM, LOCAL MITIGATION STRATEGY. WHICH IS WHICH IS BLOOD CONTROL. REALLY THAT'S WHAT FEMA MONEY OKAY, AND SO THE HARDEST THING THAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS YOU GET ON THAT LMS LIST AND THEN YOU HAVE TO BASICALLY. GET RANKED HIGH AMONGST ALL THE REST OF THE MUNICIPALITIES AND MARTIN KAMI, AND THEN YOU HAVE TO, OBVIOUSLY, ONCE YOU GET YOUR PROJECT UP THERE, THEN YOU WANT TO APPLY FOR THAT GRANT. AND YOU WANT TO PLAY FOR A FEDERAL BRAND, WHICH IS THE THEME OF MONEY AND THEN THE STATE GRANT, WHICH IS WHICH IS USUALLY WATER QUALITY, AND YOU BASICALLY APPLY FOR BOTH OF THOSE GRANTS SO YOU CAN MATCH ONE WITH THE OTHER SO I UNDERSTAND THAT MY MIND WITH MORE OF. WOULD BE BETTER DOING A BUNCH OF SMALL PROJECTS OR A COUPLE OF LARGE PROJECTS. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE KIND OF GOES IN WITH THE FUNDING, BUT IF I JUST HAD A POT OF MONEY. THAT AS WE'RE PUTTING MONEY ASIDE BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT MONEY ASIDE FOR THIS BECAUSE GRANTS AREN'T GONNA COVER EVERYTHING. YEAH, AND THAT TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. I MEAN, I PRETTY MUCH. WE PUT THEM ON THE HIGH PRIORITY, AND YOU KNOW YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER. MAYBE DOING A PORTION OF THE BIGGER ONES SO YOU CAN GET DOWN THE LIST A LITTLE BIT, SO OKAY. I MEAN, I DO THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE GET MORE THAN JUST ONE PROJECT BUILT FOR YEARS, RIGHT? THAT'S A KIND OF GUINEA AND SOMETIMES WE MIGHT IF WE GET. FOUR OR FIVE DONE FOR THE PRICE OF TWO.
ARE WE BETTER? BUT MAYBE ONE OF THOSE BIG ONES IS STILL IMPORTANT THAT MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE OTHER FIVE SMALL ONES JUST BECAUSE OF WHATEVER THE WHATEVER THE CIRCUMSTANCES ARE.
SO IT'S A MATTER OF THE YOU KNOW LIKE I SAID WE PUT A WE DID A BLOOD CONTROL AND STORMWATER QUALITY STUFF. WE KIND OF BROKE IT DOWN. SO SOME OF YOUR GRAND FUNDING THAT ARE DIFFERENT, TOO. SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK AT THE TYPE OF FUNDING YOU GO AFTER FOR EACH ONE OF THEM. OKAY, THANK YOU. KILL FAIR. WELL, COMMISSIONER DONALD I. I THINK I SHARE YOUR FEARS. WHEN I LOOK AT THIS, AND WE LOOK AT JUST THE HIGH PRIORITY PROJECTS OF $5.2 MILLION. UM AND WE'RE ALLOCATING 250. OR SO, AS MR COOPER SAID PER YEAR. TOM. BUT.
MY INTERPRETATION AND I'LL TRANSFER RAISE THIS IN A QUESTION WITH WOULD MAYBE BE TO TRY AND BE. GRANT READY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WITH ALL THE PROJECTS OF HIGH PRIORITIES,
[01:40:07]
BECAUSE IF WE JUST LOOK AT THE ONE THAT'S ON OUR CONSENT, CALENDAR OF TRUST, TESLER DRIVE WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS. AT THIS MEETING WERE APPLYING FOR SECOND GRANT FROM IT. UM SO THERE IS A REALISTIC POSSIBILITY. THAT WE MIGHT GO ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT WE MIGHT SIT UP HERE AND LOOK FOR AS THE BASELINE OF, SAY, 50 50 MATCH. UM WHICH, IF WE LAST LOOKED AT A 50 50 MATCHED TO GET TO $5 MILLION. WE'RE LOOKING AT 10 YEARS OR SO WITH ALLOCATING 2 50, BUT IF WE'RE GRANT READY AND DESIGN READY. FOR ALMOST EVERY SINGLE PROJECT AND APPLYING FOR GRANTS AGGRESSIVELY. IS THAT COME UP? WE MIGHT HOPEFULLY BEAT THAT.10 YEAR TIMELINE OR. RECEIVED MORE THAT 50 50 MATCH AND GRANTS BECAUSE WE CAN APPLY FOR MULTIPLE GRANTS FOR THE SAME PROJECT. IS THAT CORRECT, JOE? YEAH THAT'S THAT'S CORRECT. YOU KNOW, YOU CAN NOW. LIKE I SAID, I THINK. EACH ONE OF THESE LOOKING AT THE LIST YOU SHOULD BE PUTTING ON YOUR KNEES SHOULD BE ON YOUR LMS LIST IS YOUR TOP PRIORITY BECAUSE YOU CAN GET MORE MONEY. FIRST OF ALL TO FEMA AND THESE ARE DRAINAGE RELATED. SO YOU GET A BIGGER SHARE YOU'LL GIVE IN LARGER SUM OF MONEY FOR AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME UP WITH A MATCH. BUT ONCE YOU GET IF YOU CAN KIND OF COME UP WITH LARGE ONE MONEY FROM FROM FROM FEMA. AND THEN AND IT'S 75 25% MONEY. UH HUH. AND WHEREAS STATE MONEY IS 50 50, OKAY? SO I THINK YOU YOU SHOULD PUT THIS ON THE LMS AND AGAIN TRYING TO GET THAT MONEY AS ONE SOURCE AND IN THE STATE MONEY, THERE'S A LARGE SUM OF STATE MONEY AVAILABLE NOW. SO YOU WANT TO KIND OF GET IT GET OUT THERE FOR THAT STATE MONEY. YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD FOR ME TO TELL YOU TO GET ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STRATEGY IS TO GET YOUR DESIGNED ON YOUR PERMITTING.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TRY TO DO IS, YOU KNOW DESIGNED UP TO ABOUT 60% PLAN, OKAY? AND THEN. AND BASICALLY GET GET YOUR PERMANENT FILED. AND THEN WHEN YOU FILE THAT APPLICATION ON THE GRANT, YOU CAN SAY YOU HAVE. BUT YOU HAVE A PERMIT YOUR YOU KNOW YOU YOU STILL HAVE MORE DESIGN WORK TO DO, BUT IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT AS SUBSTANTIAL AND BASICALLY AT LEAST GETS YOU INTO THE GRANT PROGRAM. WHAT I THINK YOU WANT, OKAY? UM. MY OTHER HIGHLIGHT.
WELL, ONE OF THEM. I'D LIKE TO FOCUS ON THE DIFFERENCES AS YOU MENTIONED BETWEEN MARTIN COUNTY.
REQUIRING THREE INCHES OF RUNOFF TREATMENT. VERSUS OUR 2.5. AND THEN COULD YOU EXPAND ON WHAT YOU MEANT BY, YOU KNOW. PROJECTS THAT MIGHT COME BEFORE US THAT DON'T REQUIRE, UH, DISTRICT PERMIT. AND SINCE WE DON'T INTERNALLY, HAVE ANY. WATER QUALITY STANDARDS.
THEY'RE KIND OF PASSING UNDER THE RADAR. THAT WHAT YOU MEANT, OR. WELL WHAT HAPPENS IS, YOU KNOW THERE'S NOT A REQUIREMENT TO DO A NUTRIENT LOAD WEEK ANALYSIS FOR THE CITY, AND IF YOU ASK TO PUT THAT REQUIREMENT IN THERE, THEN YOU WOULD SEE MORE MORE VOLUME OF STORM WATER. BUT THE STORM WATER TREATMENT. STORAGE ON EACH OF THE PROPER PROJECTS. OKAY FOR WATER QUALITY, OKAY, AND SO THAT YOU GAIN A LITTLE MORE STORAGE, WHICH MEANS THAT ON THE PROPERTIES, WHICH IS LESS. BLESS ME THIS CHARGE THAT GOES ONTO YOUR CITY SYSTEMS. UH HUH.
AND SO THAT'S WHY I RECOMMEND YOU CONSIDER THAT THAT THAT THAT'S ONE OPTION AGAIN. IT'S A MATTER OF HOW MUCH YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID, UM WE KIND OF LOOKED AT AS. WHAT DOES TWO MORE INCHES BECAUSE IT'S REALLY TWO MORE INCHES OF VOLUME THAT YOU PUT ON PROPERTIES. IS IT REALLY THAT SIGNIFICANT AND YOU'RE GOING TO FIND OUT PEOPLE MAY HAVE SWELLS BERMS, THEY CAN DO UNDERGROUND STORAGE. THERE'S A LOT OF AS LONG AS YOU GIVE THEM A LOT OF TOOLS IN THE TOOLBOX. TO ACCOMPLISH THAT STORAGE. IT'S NOT, AND IT'S NOT THAT EXPENSIVE, AND I THINK ACTUALLY YOU ASKED SOME PRETTY GOOD QUESTIONS I SAW WHEN YOU WERE WORKING WITH SARAH FREEMAN ON THAT THE AS LONG AS YOU KIND OF. HELP THE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND HOW EASY IT IS TO PROVIDE THIS STORAGE, THEN I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO FIND THEM MORE. HAVE.
TO WILLING TO PROVIDE THAT STORAGE ON THE PROPERTY. SO THAT'S WHY I SAY I MEAN, WE COULD AT LEAST PUT WE COULD HAVE THE POSITION. REQUIRING THE NUTRIENT LOAD ANALYSIS DONE AS WELL AS CONCERNS SOME MORE TREATMENTS MORE WATER QUALITY TREATMENT FROM 1 TO 2 INCHES.
NOW, LET'S BE REALISTIC ABOUT THIS. YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF. YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF THINKING THAT I AM RIGHT NOW. BUT YOU WILL HAVE READ RETROFITS THAT YOU WILL NEED
[01:45:02]
AND THAT'S WHEN YOU'RE GONNA THAT'S WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO SEE SOME BENEFIT FROM THIS AND ALL THESE IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BE LESS LOAD. ON OUR SYSTEM. THAT'S RIGHT. CURRENTLY WHAT WE'RE ASKING PRESSURE, MEYER. THANK YOU MADAM MAYOR. YEAH I'M FOLLOWING RIGHT WITH YOU. VICE MAYOR, I THINK, UM. AND I GUESS MY QUESTION IS ACTUALLY FOR YOU IS IN YOUR EXPERIENCE AS WE ARE RIGHTLY LOOKING MORE AT PRIVATE. ON PARCEL STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND. AND WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS. UM I FOLLOWS THAT THAT WOULD. LIMIT THE ONUS ON THE CITY SIDE FOR OUR CONVENIENCE AND OUR TREATMENT AND OUR DISCHARGE. IF WE'RE. HEART NOT HARSHER, BUT IF WE HAVE STRICTER REQUIREMENTS FOR STORM WATER. STORM ON INCAPACITY AND TREATMENT ON INDIVIDUAL PARCELS. SO ARE YOU SEEING THAT WHEN IF WE'RE UPDATING OUR CODES TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE AGGRESSIVE ON STORMWATER MANAGEMENT ON THE INDIVIDUAL PRIVATE PARCEL SIDE THAT COULD ULTIMATELY RESULT IN LOVE OUR COSTS IN THE FUTURE FOR THE CITY. WELL I THINK THAT THERE'S SEVERAL WAYS OF LOOKING AT THIS, I THINK. THAT WE WANT LESS STRONG WATER IMPACT TO YOUR SYSTEM, RIGHT? OKAY UM, WE HOPE TO OBVIOUSLY WANT TO HAVE LESS WITH THAT WE WOULD HAVE LESS MAINTENANCE. MM. OBVIOUSLY, A LOT OF TIMES THESE THINGS. ITEMS DO BREAK SO YOU OBVIOUSLY WANT SO LESS WATER COMING ON TO YOU MEANS LESS MONEY SPENDING THAT CATEGORY. I THINK THE OTHER THING BUT IS ONCE WE GET THESE PRIVATE SYSTEMS, ADDING MORE TO THE SYSTEM. WE NEED TO INSIST THAT THEY MAINTAIN THEIR SYSTEM. AND THAT'S WHAT I KIND OF RECOMMENDED IN THE REPORT THAT WE PROVIDE A LITTLE MORE EMPHASIS ON MAINTENANCE, AND IT'S AS SIMPLE AS JUST COMING UP WITH A PLAN. THAT THEY TURN IN TO GET THEIR APPROVAL. AND QUITE FRANKLY, MARTIN COUNTY DOES THIS A LITTLE. JUST BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE MORE EMPHASIS ON THIS. THEY BASICALLY WANT THE PLAN. UM. BUT WHAT WE FOUND IS THEY GET THE PLAN, BUT NOBODY MONITORS WHETHER IT'S DONE. AND THIS THIS THERE'S THERE WAS THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPENING. FOR EXAMPLE, DID THE PORT SAINT LUCIE STUDY? THEY WEREN'T WANTED TRAINING? I THINK YOU YOU'RE KIND OF SETTING UP A BUREAUCRACY HERE TO SOME EXTENT. I HATE TO SAY THAT, BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS SOMEBODY NEEDS TO MAKE SURE THAT'S HAPPENING. AND SO YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW EFFICIENT YOU CAN BE AT THAT.AGAIN I DON'T SEE THAT AS A BIG BURDEN, BUT IT IS SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. SO I GUESS WHAT I'D LIKE TO REALLY PUSH ON HIS IS KIND OF THE TAKE AWAY FROM THIS. THE SIP IS ONE THING THAT WE HAVE TO ADDRESS, OBVIOUSLY, BUT. THE LONGER WE WAIT TO ADDRESS THE CODE. THE REQUIREMENT IMPLICATIONS THE WORK. IT'S JUST, WE'RE ALWAYS GOING TO BE CHASING. WE'RE ALWAYS GOING TO BE CHASING THE PROBLEM. SO, UM, I MEAN, WHAT IS WHAT'S THE PROCESS LIKE COMING OUT OF THIS IS THAT GOING THROUGH DEVELOPMENT? UM TO BRING FORWARD PROPOSED, OR IS THAT THE UTILITIES QUESTIONS YOU SET THE POLICY? SO YOU GUYS GIVE ME THE DIRECTION? WELL, OKAY. I STILL HAVEN'T UNFORTUNATELY SEEN THE FULL COPY OF THIS UPDATE PROPOSED UPDATE PLANS SO WELL, LET'S GET IT AND THEN, UM, I THINK WE NEED TO THEY GET IT ON THE CALENDAR QUICKLY TO HAVE YOU KNOW THE PUBLIC WORKS, UTILITIES AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT TO START. THERE HE IS. START BRINGING THESE FORWARD TO US. UM BECAUSE THE LONGER WE WAIT, THOSE CLASSES ARE JUST GOING TO ONLY CONTINUE TO STACK UP. I CERTAINLY AGREE.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS GETTING AT COMMISSIONER MEYER AND I THINK MR MCDONALD KIND OF. TOUCHED ON IT IN THE COST ANALYSIS. I MEAN, WE ARE BEHIND IT IF WE'RE LOOKING AT. THE OVERALL PICTURE AND 2040. AND WITH OUR OWN FUNDING, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE PAYING WERE. BARELY IF WE REALLY STRETCH IT GOING TO TOUCH ALL THE THINGS ON OUR PRIORITIES LIST NOW, NOT TO MENTION WHAT GETS ADDED TO THE LIST. I THINK THE LEAST WE CAN DO IS EXAMINE AND COMPARE. OUR REQUIREMENTS. YEAH TO MARTIN COUNTY AS A WHOLE AND TO THE DISTRICTS. REQUIREMENTS AND SEE YOU KNOW IF WE CAN MIRROR. SOME OF THOSE. AT A SMALLER SCALE IN THE CITY TO EASE. THE BURDEN THAT WE HAVE TO DO, AND SO FOR STAFF, THEN I GUESS, UM, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT THE IDEA OF WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE PROJECTS COME IN OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, COUPLE YEARS THAT HAVE THAT HAVE WITHOUT CODE REQUIREMENT BROUGHT FORWARD INNOVATIVE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY AS PART OF THE P U. D, PERHAPS. WE HAVE. WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT MAINTENANCE, BUT WE HAVEN'T REQUIRED AS A CONDITION. SO I THINK TO JOE'S POINT. UM YOU KNOW, JUST IN A MEETING WITH WITH THE POTENTIAL, UH, YOU KNOW, SITE PLAN THIS EARLIER THIS WEEK, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT THEY PROPOSED STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND I SAID FOR WHAT WE NEED TO REALLY START DOING IS GETTING IT SO THAT. IT'S YOU KNOW, YOUR YOUR CEO CAN BE
[01:50:03]
REVOKED IF YOU DON'T HAVE A. SIX EVERY SIX MONTHS OR ONE YEAR STAFF MUST BE SUPPLIED WITH AN INDEPENDENT STORMWATER. YOU KNOW, UH. MAINTENANCE REPORT AND WE PULL THE YOU KNOW, PULL THE CEO IF IT'S NOT IN COMPLIANCE, SO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO HAVE THAT BROUGHT FORWARD SOON WOULD BE GREAT. THANK YOU ANY ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM. GO ON, VICE MAYOR, CAN YOU GO UP A FEW SLIDES? I'D PLANNED TO KIND OF MENTION THIS IN MY COMMISSIONER COMMENTS WHICH COMING UP RIGHT AFTER THIS TO THIS ONE DOWN. SO I KNOW THERE'S A EXTREMELY SIMPLE DIAGRAM. BUT. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS FOR ME IS THE WATER. QUALITY ASPECT OF IT. BETWEEN THE TREATMENT POND AND DISCHARGE. AREA AND THAT'S THE WETLANDS OR YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN PUSHING OR LITERAL PLANTINGS OR NATIVE PLANTINGS ANY OF THOSE PLANTS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO UPKEEP. UM AND THIS IS SOMETHING I'D LIKE. US AS A CITY TO TRY AND PUSH FORWARD TO SET THE EXAMPLE AND SOME OF OUR RETENTION AREAS THAT WE HAVE. AND I CAN DISCUSS IT MORE MY THOUGHTS OF RIGHT SEEN OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS AND COMMISSIONER COMMENTS. AND MEETINGS WITH SOME OF OUR STAFF ON THAT. WELL, I SEE THAT AS LIVING SHORELINES AS WELL.ABSOLUTELY I MEAN, IT'S WHETHER IT'S LIVING SHORELINES, BUFFERED SHORELINES OR, YOU KNOW THE WATER QUALITY ASPECT BETWEEN A RETENTION POND. FOR DISCHARGE AREA. THANK YOU FOR MY SHIRT. YOU KNOW, MOST OF. OBJECTS NOW TO GET NUTRIENT LOAD REDUCTION. PROVIDE SOMETHING. SPEAK INTO THE MIKE. I CAN'T HEAR YOU. MOST MOST STORMWATER RETROFIT PROJECTS WITH MORE STORMWATER IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS RIGHT NOW TO GET YOUR NUTRIENT LOAD REDUCTION, PRETTY MUCH INCEST THAT YOU NEED SOME KIND OF THAT'S KIND OF A LITERAL SHELF.
BIAS WELL, SOMETHING OF THAT ORDER YOU HAVE TO COME UP WITH. SOME OF THESE ARE BECAUSE IT'S DIFFICULT TO MEET THAT NEW TREMBLED REDUCTION CRITERIA. SO WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE ONLY OPTIONS THAT. PEOPLE HAVE TO GET THAT DONE THAT THAT REDUCTION AND THEY GET THAT PERMIT. THANK YOU. UM. MR LOCAL DO YOU HAVE? DO YOU HAVE A COPY OF THE. DRAFT MASTER PLANE. YEAH IS IT GONNA BE OKAY? CAN YOU EMAIL A COFFEE? TELL US WE CAN EMAIL THAT OUT. THANK YOU. DO YOU NEED A MOTION? FOR ANY FURTHER DIRECTION, OR DID YOU GET SUFFICIENT? NO I BELIEVE I HAVE SUFFICIENT DIRECTION AS FAR AS WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. WITH THE INCREASE IN THE ON SITE AND YEAH, AND I LIKE THIS. IT'S NOT REALLY A PENALTY, BUT A MONITORING. IMPLEMENTATION THAT COMMISSIONER MYERS BROUGHT UP BECAUSE. WE SEE PEOPLE WHO HAVE PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR SOME TIME, AND NOW THEY'RE.
YOU KNOW, DEALING WITH PARKING AND STORM WATER AND OTHER ISSUES AND. WE REALLY NEED TO FIND SOME WAY TO MONITOR THIS, UM IN A WAY THAT WILL BE HELPFUL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. GREAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WAS THAT SOMETHING, MR MR MCDONALD? I JUST THANK YOU. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. OUR NEXT ITEM WERE PACIFIED 30 OR BUT WE'RE IN GOOD STANDING. MM. UM COMMENTS BY COMMISSIONERS COMMISSIONER BRUNER. LAST WEEK. UM, I WAS
[COMMENTS BY CITY COMMISSIONERS]
INVITED. TO THE KIWANIS CLUB THAT HE CAN'T HEAR YOU, COMMISSIONER BRUNER LAST WEEK.THE. THE KIWANIS CLUB INVITED ME AND FROM AN EMAIL, SO MAYBE THE OTHER ONES WERE INVITED.
ALSO. BUT AND I WENT AND THEY HAD A NICE LITTLE RECEPTION, AND IT WAS AT AT THE ELLIOTT MUSEUM. AND I HADN'T BEEN THERE AND A LONG TIME AND THE L. A MUSEUM JUST IS WONDERFUL. UM AND THEY HAD A GOOD CROWD AND WHY THEY WERE INVITING US. THE PEOPLE IS, UM. EVERY YEAR. THE QUANTA CLUB HAS ALWAYS MADE THE, UH, CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT. AND YOU CAN BUY THEM AT. YEAH HISTORIC MUSEUM AT THE AT THE FEED STORE. THEIR $25. IT MIGHT BE A COUPLE OTHER PLACES YOU CAN BUY HIM. BUT ANYWAY, UM I LEARNED A LOT MORE. WHAT WHAT THE QANTAS CLUB DOES AND FOR THE CHILDREN. AND I DECIDED TO JOIN AND. WHEN IT COMES TO THE CHILDREN. IT'S ONE OF MY
[01:55:04]
FAVORITE THINGS. THE WOMEN'S CLEVER MEMBER OF THE WOMEN'S CLUB AND WE DO A LOT FOR THE YOUNG LADIES IN HIGH SCHOOL TO GET HIM UP TO START TO GET THE COLLEGE WITH NO MONEY. SO ANYWAY, UM, I REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT QANTAS DOES FOR OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU.COMMISSIONER COMMISSIONER MCDONALD. YES SO A COUPLE QUICK THINGS. ONE IS I'D LIKE TO PULL ITEMS 17 FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR. LET'S SEE, ALSO, UH, ADDRESSED MEETING THERE WAS THREE GENTLEMEN HERE FROM BOLOGNA TO ST I WENT OVER AND MET WITH ONE OF THEM, AND THEY HAD A COUPLE OF CONCERNS. WANNA STORMWATER, WHICH I THINK WE'VE ADDRESSED THAT, UM, ALSO. UH SPEEDING ON THE ROAD. I WAS THERE FOR QUITE A WHILE WITH THE GENTLEMAN. I DIDN'T SEE ANYBODY SPEED DOWN THE ROAD MYSELF. FIVE CARS RUNNING THE STOP SIGN. I MEAN, WHILST WHILE STANDING THERE AND SO WONDERFULLY, AND I TALKED TO THE I TALKED TO MANAGER DIETS ABOUT THAT, AND HE WAS GOING TO LOOK INTO THAT AS WELL. UM AND THEN, FINALLY HE DID MENTION THOSE GOTTA PUT MY GLASSES BACK ON. UM. THE CONDITION OF THE ROAD. I'M NOT SURE WHEN YOU NEED A SCHEDULED TO BE UH, ARE PAVING PROGRAM, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE DOWN THERE NEAR CASA. SO, UM. I ALSO WANT TO THANK MILTON BECAUSE I GOT A COMPLAINT FROM A NEIGHBOR ABOUT MINE ABOUT SOME TREES THAT WERE COMING DOWN AND CARS WERE HITTING AS THEY'RE GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND MENTIONED THE MILTON AND, UH. AND MIRACULOUSLY, THE TREES GOT TALLER. SO THANK YOU, MILTON. HE'S AMAZING. AND THEN, UH, FINALLY, UM. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN ITEM LATER ON TONIGHT REGARDING, UH, MARRY TAJIN AND SOME TREES AND, UH AND I WANT TO, UH, I HAVEN'T HAD CHANCES DOWN AND TALK TO STAFF ABOUT THIS, BUT I WANT TO LOOK AT HER CODE REGARDING FREE CONSTRUCTION MEETINGS. SO THAT, UH, WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE SITUATION COME UP, AND IF WE NEED TO REWRITE HER LOOK AT HER CODE FOR REQUIRING PRECONSTRUCTION MEETINGS TO MAKE SURE THAT PRESERVE AREAS ARE PROTECTED.

FROM CITY DOCKS AND LOOKED AT AND DISCUSSED SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENT THAT GOT SET BACK IN 2018 AND RESET OR PULLED OUT WHEN WE HAD TOXIC ALGAE, THEN. UM WE DISCUSSED. YOU KNOW MY LIFE AND. OTHERS ABOUT GROWING UP HERE AND SEEING THE IMPACTS OF DISCHARGES WE WENT TO THE S 80 LAKHS AND THEN UP THE NATURAL SOUTHFORK A LITTLE BIT. JUST SHOW HER WHERE THE HEADWATERS OF THE SOUTH FORK WAR AND THE BENEFICIAL WATER WE GET COMPARED TO THE HARMFUL WATER, AND THEN WE WENT OUT TO SELFISH FLATS AREA AND THE CROSSROADS AND LOOKED AT THE SANDBARS, WHICH YOU KNOW.

[02:05:05]
LAST YEAR. IT WAS AT 16.9. BECAUSE THIS TIME LAST YEAR WE HAD HURRICANE ETA MOVING PAST OR SO AND WE WERE GETTING DISCHARGES. SO. RIGHT AROUND THAT VERY DANGEROUS TIME, AND WE'RE NOT OUT OF THE WOODS YET IS GOING INTO THE DRY SEASON. UM. I ASKED EARLIER WHEN MR CAPRA HAD SOME SLIDES UP. UM, I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT ARE. RETENTION AREA AND THE ON HIS SLIDE WAS BETWEEN THAT WAS. WETLANDS BETWEEN THAT AND WATER DISCHARGING. OUT TO TIDE OR TO OUR WATERWAYS. AND THE REASON I BRING THAT UP. UM. WAS BECAUSE IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO HAVE THAT NATURAL VEGETATION OR SOMETHING TO UPTAKE. A LOT OF THE NUTRIENTS AND A WEEK OR TWO AGO. I SAW A VIDEO BY A RESIDENT OF. SOME HERBICIDE USE SOME AQUATIC HERBICIDE SPRAYED FROM A SMALL SKIFF IN HOSPITAL POND AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE POND. AND I KNOW OUR STAFF IS FOLLOWING EXACTLY. WHAT ARE DIRECTIVE WAS AND, UM. YOU KNOW IN 2018, THE END OF 2018, THE CITY OF STORE BANNED THE USE OF GLYPHOSATE AND HERBICIDE WE HAVE ON SOME OTHER LARGER PDS.UM AND. WE DO USE IT. MINIMALLY WAS OUR OTHER DIRECTIVE AND MINIMALLY HAS DIFFERENT WAYS OF BEING INTERPRETED. MINIMALLY COULD BE ONCE IN THREE YEARS OR MINIMALLY COULD BE SPOT TREATING DIFFERENT PLANTS. UM. BUT I'VE ASKED. I'VE MET WITH DAVID AND. UH MILTON, AND I'M PUSHING OUR STAFF TO TRY AND. EXAMINE AND BRING BACK TO US OTHER WAYS TO FULLY MOVE AWAY FROM, UH, THE USE OF HERBICIDES, ESPECIALLY IN OUR WATER RETENTION AREAS. UM I CAN UNDERSTAND IT IN SOME AREAS, BUT. GOING AROUND STERILIZING SHORE BANK. WITH ALL THE OTHER BATTLES WERE TRYING TO DO FOR WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS. JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT. AND SO I DIRECTED OUR STAFF TO KIND OF COMMUNICATE WITH SOME OTHER, UH. LOCAL SCIENTISTS AND LOOK AT WAYS OF NATURALLY MANAGING THAT SHORELINE. UM SO THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING BACK. COMBATING WEEDS IN AN AREA WHERE YOU CANNOT MEOW, UM TO TRY AND HAVE NATURAL NATIVE GRASSES THAT ARE AESTHETICALLY PLEASING THAT IN THE LONG TERM WOULD BE, UH. BETTER MANAGEMENT PRACTICES. UM.
AND PERHAPS SAVE THE CITY MONEY IN THE LONG TERM. WELL, I JUST WANTED TO LET MY OTHER COMMISSIONERS NO, I'LL DO MY BEST IN COMMUNICATING WITH WITH, YOU KNOW, FOLKS THAT FLS AND ORCA AND I KNOW THERE'S A BETTER WAY WE CAN BE DOING SOMETHING I KNOW IS THE CITY.
WE'VE TAKEN SOME STEPS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, BUT I'D LIKE TO CONTINUALLY LEAD BY EXAMPLE.
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. THANK YOU. MM. UM. HAVE SEVERAL COMMENTS FIRST. I'D LIKE TO WELCOME BACK MR CAMPAIGNING FOR HERE TAKING NOTES DOING HIS THING. AND THEN SINCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WELCOME I WANTED. TO FULL ITEM NUMBER 17 SIMPLY BECAUSE I SAW MR WOODSIDE IN OUR AUDIENCE. UH HE'S LIKE, OH, NO. SO, BUT I THINK THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES WITH OUR WATER TREATMENT FACILITY AND I WANTED THERE'S A SHORT PRESENTATION. ATTEND THE IN THE.
AGENDA ITEM, AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT MR WALKER STILL HERE. YEAH SO THAT JUST JUST THE PUBLIC KNOW ABOUT THE $16 MILLION AND HAVE STAFF AS SOME QUESTIONS AND YOU KNOW, WE SAW THE LETTER FROM THE, UH. ENGINEER AND SO ON AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO, BUT I THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH OUR ON WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM. AND HOW WE'RE GOING ABOUT DOING THAT. SO I THINK I THINK MOST OF US HAVE FULL ITEM NUMBER 17 SO THAT'S WHERE THAT IS, UM. SANTINO WITH MR WALKER'S DEPARTMENT THE OTHER SIDE OF IT PUBLIC WORKS, UM. AS COMMISSIONER OF VICE MAYOR SAID WE DID HAVE, UH, WORKSHOP AT MLK REGARDING MLK AND MISS. UM, AGAIN, THIS. SEVEN GANDHI SERVED US WAS IN CHARGE OF THAT WORKSHOP, ALONG WITH THE KIMBERLY HORN GROUP. AND WE HAD VERY, VERY GOOD ATTENDANCE.
[02:10:02]
VERY, VERY GOOD PARTICIPATION. I JUST KNOW THAT MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE BEEN COVID. I HAVE NOT HAD A TOWN HALL. UM, SINCE THIS YEAR SINCE I'VE BEEN MAYOR. AND WE'VE HAD YOU USE WHATEVER OPPORTUNITIES WE'VE HAD TO COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE. WHEN I SAW THAT THERE WAS SUCH A NEED.ESPECIALLY IN THE EAST STEWART AREA. PEOPLE HAD SO MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT OTHER PROBLEMS THAT THE HABITS. CITY HALL. AND THEY GOT THAT OPPORTUNITY. I KNOW THAT SOMEBODY ASKED ABOUT BENCHES AND I'VE SEEN SOME WONDERFUL PICTURES WHERE MR. LEGGED HAS REPLACED AND BEEFED UP IN AREA. ALONG THE 10TH STREET AREAS. SO, UM. I HOPE THAT THAT WILL BE A POSITIVE THING AND THAT WE'LL HEAR SOMETHING POSITIVE ABOUT THAT. UM BUT THANK YOU, MR LEGGETT.
AND THANK YOU, MISS. UM. AGAIN THIS SERVED US FOR THAT. THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. I'VE TALKED TO CITY MANAGER ABOUT POSSIBLY, UM. TRY AND I'M GOING TO REACH OUT TO KIM LAWHORN AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO MAYBE GET SOME. ALMOST LIKE AN OMBUDSMAN SHIP GOING WITH JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN THE RIGHT PLACE TO WORK ON THIS AND TO GET, UM UH, THE DECISION MAKING AND THE. INFORMATION UH, TO THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY AS WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON THAT MARTIN LUTHER KING BOULEVARD PROJECT BEFORE THEY COME BACK TO US AS A CITY COMMISSION, SO I JUST WANTED TO UM, HOPEFULLY START SOME WHEELS TURN IN THE DIRECTION TO MAKE SURE WE CAN GET UH, GOOD INPUT FROM FROM FOLKS REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE PEOPLE WHO CAME OUT AND ALL THE QUESTIONS THEY HAD, EVEN THOUGH SOME OF THE QUESTIONS WERE NOT RELATED TO THE STREETSCAPE. I THINK IT WAS GOOD. AND IT SHOWS THAT PEOPLE WERE. HAD THEIR EYES AND THEIR EARS OPEN AND THEY'RE THEY'RE WANTING TO HAVE SOME ANSWERS AND ASK WHY AND TWO SO THAT'S IMPORTANT. UM. I HAVE JUST RECENTLY BECOME A MEMBER OF THE AUDUBON. ON BOARD. THE AUDUBON IS RIGHT THERE AT THE CORNER OF MARTIN LUTHER KING SEVENTH STREET. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF PALM BEACH ROAD AT SEVENTH STREET, AND IT'S OUR ONLY URBAN FOREST, AND THEY HAVE BEEN REORGANIZED AND THEN DOING ALL OF THAT WOULD VOLUNTEER WORK. IF ANYBODY HAS A CHANCE TO GO THERE TO THE AUTOBAHN. UM PLEASE GO. AND IT'S THE POSSUM LONG CENTER. HAS HAD DIFFERENT NAMES OVER THE YEARS. UM PLEASE GO AND VISIT. SPEND TIME WALKING WITH YOUR FAMILY, YOUR DOG. WHATEVER PLEASE VISIT THAT AREA AND PROVIDE SUGGESTIONS TO US AT THE AUDUBON. AS TO HOW WE CAN BETTER PROVIDE INFORMATION TO YOU ABOUT WHY LIFE ESPECIALLY ABOUT BIRDS IN OUR AREA. IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO, UM. TO DO THAT.
I'VE ALSO HAD PEOPLE COME TO ME ABOUT COMMUNITY POLICING AND ESPECIALLY IN THE EAST. STEWART AREA CHANGES IN COMMUNITY POLICE AND I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO TALK TO CHIEF. BUT AGAIN, I WANT TO MAKE SURE IF WE NEED TO MEET WITH CITIZENS MEET WITH CHIEF MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE HAVING THE RIGHT APPROACH AND WE'RE CONTINUING THE RIGHT APPROACH. IN ALL OF OUR AREAS IN THE CITY OF STEWART. SO UM, I'M GOING TO BE FOLLOWING UP ON THAT WITH CHIEF AND WITH OUR CITY MANAGER. I'VE BEEN A PART OF A BOOK CLUB THAT HAS BEEN READING A BOOK STAMPED FROM THE BEGINNING. BY ABRAM KINDY. AND AT ONE OF OUR PROJECTS TO SHOW THAT WE'RE TRYING TO REACH OUT TO OUR COMMUNITY. IS TO WORK WITH THE YOUTH AND TO. READ MAKE SURE THAT KIDS ARE READING IF THEY'RE NOT READING. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE STUDYING AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE READING. VOLUMINOUS PAGES TO STUDY FOR EXAMS AND TO DO THINGS INDEPENDENTLY ON THEIR OWN AS WE'VE HAD THAT BURDEN ON THEM DURING COVID WHEN SOME OF THEM HAVE NOT BEEN IN THE CLASSROOM. SO WE'RE WORKING WITH THAT IF ANYBODY IS INTERESTED IN READ INTO IT, A YOUTH. YOU CAN ALWAYS CONTACT ME AND LET'S SEE HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO GET SOME SOME STUDENTS. TO WORK WITH US, AND IT'S JUST 5 10 MINUTES EVEN JUST CALL THEM AND ASK THEM.

]ARTS. MR WALKER, ADAM NUMBER 17. OUR CITY MANAGER. THIS WOULD BE RESOLUTION NUMBER 17 2021 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA. APPROVING THE AWARD OF I T B 2 TO 1 BATCH 114 WATER TREATMENT PLANT ARO TREATMENT FACILITY TO THE LOWEST RESPONSIVE, RESPONSIBLE BIDDER. TOTAL UNIT PRICE OF $16,695,000. PC CONSTRUCTION DOING BUSINESSES P. C E O INC OF SOUTH BURLINGTON, VERMONT. PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. THANK YOU, MR WALKER, MR WOODSIDE AND EVERYBODY INVOLVED WITH THIS.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, VICE MAYOR COMMISSIONERS TIM VOLKER UTILITIES AND ENGINEERING DIRECTOR FOR THE RECORD. THIS PRESENTATIONS REALLY, TO BRING YOU GUYS UP TO SPEED FROM THE FEBRUARY 2021 PRESENTATION I PRESENTED, UM YOU KNOW, ALSO. GET INTO THE PATH FORWARD FROM TODAY. ALSO. AND WITH THE ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLY UP PROJECT. IT'S A THREE PHASE PROJECT TO BE IMPLEMENTED OVER 15 YEARS. SO THE FIRST PHASE. IS MADE UP OF FOUR COMPONENTS.
YOUR VERY FIRST COMPONENT IS THE. WATER SUPPLY WELL, WHICH IS F A ONE AND DEPICTED KIND OF IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER ON THE AREA WITH THE RED DOT. THE SECOND COMPONENT OF THE FIRST PHASE. IS THE REVERSE OSMOSIS FACILITY, SO THAT'S WHAT'S DEPICTED IN BLUE ON THE AERIAL MAP. ALL THAT WORK IS DONE WITHIN THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT FENCE. THE THIRD COMPONENT. IS THE CONCENTRATE PIPELINE AND THAT PIPELINE RUNS FROM THE NEW WATER TREATMENT PLANT ALL THE WAY UP TO THE WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY. AND THEN THE FOURTH AND FINAL COMPONENT. OF PHASE ONE OF THE ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLY IS MODIFICATION TO THE DEEP
[02:25:07]
INJECTION WELL, WHICH IS ALREADY EXISTING. AND I'LL GET INTO MORE DETAIL OF EACH OF THESE COMPONENTS FOR YOU. SO THAT THE VERY FIRST COMPONENT IS THE WATER SUPPLY WELL, WHICH WE COMPLETED BACK IN DECEMBER, 2020 AND ITS 1620 FT BELOW SURFACE. SO THIS IS WITHIN THE FLORIDA AND AQUIFER. IT'S THE FIRST WELL THE CITY'S CONSTRUCTED IN THIS AQUIFER.AND FROM THE TESTING WE'VE DONE, IT INDICATES IT'S A VERY PRODUCTIVE WELL THE ENGINEER OF RECORD EVEN. DESCRIBED IT AS BEING A TIGER OF A WELL SO. WHICH IS VERY GOOD TO YOU KNOW, PROMISING. UM BECAUSE THERE EVERYTHING IS DEPENDENT ON WHAT WATER THIS WELL, POLLS. UM AND NOW YOU MAY ASK. WHY DO WE DRILL THIS WELL OVER A YEAR AGO WHEN THE PLANTS NOT GOING TO BE READY FOR TWO YEARS. BECAUSE IN ORDER TO DESIGN THE PLANT, WE HAD TO PULL THE WATER QUALITY FROM 1620 FT. SO THE MEMBRANES THAT ARE GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTED AS PART OF THE R O FACILITY ARE LIKE A KIDNEY. THEY BASICALLY REMOVE ALL THE IMPERATIVE IS OUT OF THE WATER.
SO IN ORDER TO SEE WHAT IMPURITIES LIE, 1620 FT BELOW WE HAD TO GET THE WELL IN THE GROUND, PULL THE WATER AND TEST IT AND THEN COMPLETE THE DESIGN OF THE AR. OH, FACILITY. SO THE REVERSE OSMOSIS FACILITIES ALL THE WORK WITHIN THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT. AND THAT IT'S THE MOST EXPENSIVE COMPONENT OF PHASE ONE. AND THE LOW BIDDER IS PC CONSTRUCTION. UM YOU KNOW, SINCE ALL AUGUST IS ONE BIDS WERE DUE, UH, PC CONSTRUCTION WAS THE LOW BIDDER. AND THAT'S THE CONTRACT. BEFORE YOU AT THIS COMMISSION MEETING TO AWARD TONIGHT. COUPLE KIND OF KEYNOTE ITEMS TO DISCUSS OUR TO MENTION ON THE R O FACILITY IS THE ACTUAL BUILDING AND ALL THE WORK WITHIN THE PLANT IS ACTUALLY BEING BUILT OUT FOR ALL THREE PHASES. SO INSTEAD OF BUILDING A BUILDING AND THEN HAVING TO ADD ON TO THE BUILDING WERE JUST CONSTRUCTING IT FULL SIZE NOW AND THEN THE COMPONENTS JUST GET PLACED IN THEIR DEDICATED SPOT. SO YOU KNOW, INSTEAD OF PAYING CONSTRUCTION. ESCALATION FIVE YEARS FROM NOW WE'RE TAKING THAT HIT UPFRONT, HENCE KIND OF THE HIGH CONSTRUCTION DOLLAR VALUE RIGHT NOW, BUT IN THE LONG TERM IT IT SAVES THE CITY MONEY BY HAVING THAT STUFF CONSTRUCTED EARLIER.
CONSTRUCTION DURATION IS GOING TO BE TWO YEARS FOR THIS. FOR ALL THE WORK WITHIN THE PLANT.
THE THIRD COMPONENTS, THE PIPELINE AND THIS IS THE PIPELINE THAT RUNS FROM THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT ALL THE WAY UP TO THE WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY. THE DESIGN IS COMPLETE, AND WE RECEIVED THE F D A PERMIT FOR THE PIPELINE. UM ONE KEY NOTE MENTION ABOUT THE PIPELINE IS IT'S GOING TO BE INSTALLED BY A TRENCH LIST TECHNOLOGY SO ALL GONNA BE DIRECTIONAL DRILL, NO OPEN CUTTING. SO THAT'S THE MINIMIZE THE DISRUPTION THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE RESTORATIONS MINIMAL SO REALLY, THE IMPACT THROUGH THE RESIDENTS IS VERY MINIMAL. IT'S HOW THE LOW PRESSURE SEWER SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED IN THE CITY. AND NEED FOURTH AND FINAL COMPONENT IS THE DEEP INJECTION. WELL MODIFICATION. THAT DESIGN IS 100% COMPLETE. WE RECEIVED OUR PERMIT FROM F D P. AND BASICALLY, IT'S MODIFYING THE EXISTING DEEP INJECTION. WELL WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IS INSTALL AN F R P LINER JUST DUE TO THE SALT CONCENTRATION, THE EXISTING STEEL CASING WOULD CORRODE BECAUSE OF THE CONCENTRATE. WE'RE PUTTING DOWN SO. WE'RE GOING TO INSTALL AND PLASTICIALLY PLASTIC LINER TO HELP. YOU KNOW, MAKE IT. LAST LONG AND GET THE USEFUL LIFE OUT OF THE LINER. UM. AS PART OF THE MODIFICATION WERE ALSO RELOCATING THE MONITORING WELL FOR THIS AND THAT WILL BE INCLUDED WITH THE PROJECT. SO THIS SLIDE DEPICTS THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS AND WE BROKE DOWN THE R O FACILITY. WHICH IS $18 MILLION, INCLUDING CONSTRUCTION, ENGINEERING AND INSPECTION SERVICES. THE CONCENTRATE PIPELINE AND THE DEEP INJECTION. WELL MODIFICATION SHOWN HERE ARE BASED ON THE ENGINEERS ESTIMATE.
AT THIS MOMENT WE DON'T HAVE THE BID COSTS. SO ONCE WE AWARD THE R O FACILITY. THE NEXT PLAN
[02:30:03]
OF ACTION IS TO PUT THE DEEP INJECTION WELL OUT TO BID AND. AND HAVE THAT GO TO UNDER CONSTRUCTION NEXT. AND THEN THE PIPELINES. THE LAST THING TO GO UNDER CONSTRUCTION. UM WE WANTED TO GET THE FACILITY UNDER CONSTRUCTION FIRST, BECAUSE THAT'S THE LONG LEAD TIME. UM IT'S TWO YEARS. THESE OTHER PROJECTS, THE PIPELINE AND THE DEEP WELL. ARE EXPECTED TO LAST 4 TO 6 MONTHS. AND ONE THING I WANTED TO MENTION IS THE DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS FOR THESE IMPROVEMENTS WERE INCLUDED IN THE 2017 RATE STUDY. UM. COSTS HAVE INCREASED SINCE THAT TIME, SO AS PART OF THIS FISCAL YEAR, WE WILL BE WORKING ON OUR NEXT RATE STUDY AND THE INTENT OF THIS RATE STUDY IS TO PRESENT A BALANCED PLAN THAT LIVES WITHIN THE STANDARD. RAID INDEXING SO NOT TO HAVE A LARGE. RATE HIKE AS PART OF THIS, SO WE WANT TO LIVE WITHIN YOU KNOW, ARE 1 TO 3% THAT THE CITY HISTORICALLY HAS AND YOU KNOW WHETHER WE HAVE TOOLS TO DO THAT. WE'VE KIND OF PRELIMINARY PERFORMED A FINANCIAL ANALYSIS TO LOOK AT THAT WE FEEL COMFORTABLE. THAT ARE INTENT. WE CAN MEET THAT AND I'LL KIND OF GET INTO SOME OF THOSE TOOLS IN THE NEXT COUPLE SLIDES. FUNDING RECEIVED TO DATE WE'VE RECEIVED ALMOST $3 MILLION BETWEEN SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT GRANT STATE APPROPRIATIONS. AND PRINCIPAL LOAN FORGIVENESS THROUGH THE FDP SRF PROGRAM. SO WHAT? THAT $3 MILLION THAT WE'VE RECEIVED IN FUNDING REALLY LESSENS THE BURDEN ON THE EXISTING CUSTOMERS. AND JUST BECAUSE WE RECEIVED THREE MILLION TODAY DOESN'T MEAN OUR WORKS DONE YET. KIND OF IN THE PIPELINE. WE HAVE THREE POTENTIAL FUTURE FUNDING SOURCES. ONE IS A SELF FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLY GRANT THAT WE SUBMITTED BACK IN FEBRUARY. FOR ABOUT $7 MILLION LAST MONTH. IN SEPTEMBER, WE SUBMITTED A $4.7 MILLION F FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. UH, CDBG MITIGATION GRANT. AND WE ACTUALLY APPLIED FOR THAT GRANT. THERE'S THREE FUNDING CYCLES. THIS IS THE SECOND CYCLE, THE FIRST CYCLE. WE WEREN'T SUCCESSFUL, BUT WE GOT FEEDBACK ON KIND OF WHAT WE COULD WORK ON, UM. WE PROVIDED, UM, SUPPLEMENTARY FUNDING TO HELP RAISE OUR POINTS. WE ALSO INSTEAD OF I THOUGHT THIS WAS, YOU KNOW, IT'S A SMALL CHANGE BUT KIND OF CREATIVE SINCE ITS MITIGATION AND DEALS WITH STORMS INSTEAD OF NAMING IT ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLY. IT WAS. WATER TREATMENT PLANT HARDENING PROJECTS SO ALL THE. BUILDING AND STRUCTURES THAT WE'RE BUILDING UP TO CODE AND HURRICANE RATED THE ROOF. THE GENERATOR BUILDING ALL THAT IS WHAT WE SUBMITTED FOR THE GRANTS. SO YOU KNOW THAT WILL DEFINITELY HELP US. GET US SOME MORE POINTS ALSO. AND LASTLY IS THE $500,000 STATE APPROPRIATION THAT WE'RE GOING FOR THIS YEAR. THIS WOULD BE THE FOURTH ONE WE'RE ASKING FOR ON THIS PROJECT, AND THAT WOULD COVER THE CONCENTRATE PIPELINE WHERE SPECIFICALLY GOING FOR THAT MONEY ON. AND WITH THAT, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? MR MEYER. THANK YOU, MR VOLCKER, ARE UM OR ANY OF THOSE GRANTS CONTEMPLATED. I KNOW YOU WANT TO COUNT THEM BEFORE YOU GET THEM. BUT WHEN YOU SAY THAT, UM, LOOKING FORWARD TO ANOTHER RATE STUDY. AND THAT THE CURRENT THAT THE CURRENT ANTICIPATED COSTS ARE IN EXCESS OF WHAT WAS IN THE 2017 RATE STUDY. IF WE WERE TO GET THESE P SUCCESSFUL IN THESE GRANTS AND POTENTIAL OTHER FUNDING IS THAT STILL IS THAT PART OF WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE WE CAN LIVE WITHIN OUR. RATE LIMIT OUR INCREASED LIMITS OR SO WHEN WE DID THE PRELIMINARY FINANCIAL ANALYSIS, THE ONLY ONE WE ASSUMED. THAT LOOKED REAL PROMISING WAS THE $500,000. OKAY THE SEVEN MILLION OR 4.7. WE FEEL COMFORTABLE, EVEN IF NOT RECEIVING THAT WE COULD STILL LIVE WITHIN THE STANDARD GRADE INDEXING. AND THAT'S OUR INTENT IS TO DO THAT. UM, OBVIOUSLY, IF WE WERE TO GET. BE SUCCESSFUL. A LARGE SUM OF MONEY THAT JUST LESSENS THE DEBT BURDEN ON THE EXISTING CUSTOMERS, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE GOING FOR, UM, TO MINIMIZE THAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND ON THEM SO. THANK YOU.

OF SECOND, BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION. OKAY. THERE'S A MOTION IN THE SECOND. MR MEYER. NO, NO. MAX AND.
MATHESON SORRY, SIR, READS. CAN YOU PULL UP THE DIAGRAM THAT SHOWED THAT, UH, ARIEL RIGHT THERE. SO MY QUESTION IS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN. JUST. SOUTH OF THE RESIDENTIAL LOT THAT'S ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY. DO THEY GET? 5.5 FT OF THIS RIGHT OF WAY. OR. THEY KNOW THEY KNOW. THEN ENTIRE RIGHT OF WAY. UM, WILL BE GOING. TO PALMETTO COVE. THE WE DON'T DEDICATE ANY OF THE RIGHT OF WAY TO ANYONE. WHEN WE ABANDON THE RIGHT OF WAY ALL WE DO OR ALL THE CITY DOES IS, IT LIFTS ITS CLAIM OF RIGHT AWAY TO THE UNDERLYING PROPERTY. THE UNDERLYING PLATT AND THE UNDERLYING PROPERTY. PRESUMPTIVELY DIVIDES IT EQUALLY 50 52 THE TWO ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS, YEAH. SOMETIMES LIKE ON A RIVERSIDE, DR PLATT AT THE END OF PALM BEACH ROAD THAT WE ABANDONED A FEW YEARS AGO. THE UNDERLYING
[02:40:05]
PLATT ACTUALLY HAD JEFF DARTY GETTING LIKE. 40% AND T A THINK IT WAS T. I FORGET WHO IT WAS THE NEXT DOOR, BUT HE GOT 60% AND IT JUST HAPPENED TO BE THAT THAT'S WHERE THE ROAD FELL. ON THE PROPERTY IF WE DON'T DO DEEDS? NO, NO. ANYBODY. BUT SO WHAT IS THE UNDERLYING PLATT FOR THIS PARTICULAR PIECE SET I MET HIM. YOU SEE IF IT IF IT GOES. SAY IT WENT 50 50 AND I UNDERSTAND RIGHT. THAT HOUSE THAT'S IN THAT LOT. YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT IT'S GOING TO GET THEIR HALF OF THE ALLEY FOR THAT, WHATEVER 20 FT INTO THEIR LOT, WE'RE ABANDONING OUR PLANE. BUT DOES THAT HOUSE. WHOEVER IS ALWAYS THAT LOT GETS THAT ALLEY. THAT PORTION OF IT TO OR WHAT? UNLESS THE PLATTS DIFFERENTLY, BUT WE'RE NOT. WE WON'T HAVE AN INTEREST IN IT ANYMORE. EXACTLY WE'RE WASHING OUR HANDS. UM THEY RIGHT AWAY IS BEING ABANDONED RIGHT HOUSES BEING NOTIFIED. THEY COULD CHOOSE TO. SO AT THAT HEARING THE HEARING I HAD RAISED THE ISSUE ABOUT REQUIRING THEM TO APPLY FOR AN ABANDONED THE ENTIRE RIGHT OF WAY TO THE NEXT HOUSE ALL THE WAY AFTER THE STREET JUST SO THE REMNANT WASN'T LEFT. JUST FOR THE SAKE OF DOING IT. SO THAT WE WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY MORE. IT WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THEIR INVESTMENT THAT THE COMMISSION CHOSE NOT TO DO THAT. THE ONLY REASON I BROUGHT IT UP AT THE HEARING WAS JUST BECAUSE IT WAS GOING TO BE LEFT OVER. AND I KNEW NOBODY WAS EVER GOING TO BE CUTTING BETWEEN THOSE TWO HOUSES. BUT WE ABANDONMENT APPLICATION IS JUST THE RED AREA FOR NOW, AND THEY DO IT BECAUSE THEIR PROPERTY ON THE WHAT I WOULD CALL THE SOUTH SIDE OF PALM CITY ROAD. IT GOES TO THE END OF THAT, BUT THEY YOU'RE GOING TO YOUR ACCURATE THAT THE HOUSE THE SMALL HOUSE SHOWN RIGHT THERE WITH THE ARROW ON IT, THAT PROPERTY WILL RECEIVE. 50% OF THAT RED SEGMENT UP TO THE LOT LINE, WHICH IS RIGHT THERE.RIGHT BUT EITHER WAY MOVING FORWARD WE ARE ABANDONING THE RIGHT JUST LIFTING OUR CLAIM.
AND THEN WHATEVER UNDERLYING DIVISION WAS, THERE WILL BE THERE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
THAT IS ALL, MADAM MAYOR. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC ON ITEM NUMBER? 21.

]RESOLUTION NUMBER 55 2021. ITS RESOLUTION NUMBER 55 2021 OF RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA TO APPROVE A PLAT TITLED TIDEWATER COURT.
PLATT BEING A RE PLAT OF A PORTION OF BAY ST LUCIE. WITH CERTAIN LANDS LYING IN SECTION TWO TOWNSHIP 38 SOUTH RANGE 41 EAST CONTAINING 10. INDIVIDUAL LOTS. APPROXIMATELY. 0.1 ACRES EACH IN SIZE PREPARED BY ROBERT AFTER EMERSON OF ELKANN ENGINEERING AND SURVEYING ELLIE'S LLC, A FLORIDA REGISTERED LAND SURVEY SURVEYOR AND MAPPER. NUMBER 6 TO 85, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. STEP. GOOD EVENING, MADAM MAYOR TOM READS FOR THE RECORD. THIS IS TIDEWATER CORE PLOT. RESOLUTION NUMBER 55 21, NUMEROUS ENTERPRISES THAT WILL SEE MARCELLA MARCELLA KAMLER, THE PRESIDENT. THE SITES LOCATED.
JUST WHAT? UM JUST WEST OF ST LUCIE BOULEVARD. SOUTH OF SOUTH EAST OCEAN SOUTH OF THE KINGSWOOD, UH, TOWN HOMES ARE THE NEW OCEAN COVE WITH ITS, UH, WALKING LAY THE LAKE WITH WALKING PATH. AND IT'S APPROXIMATELY ONE ACRE IN SIZE. SO SOME OF THE LDC REQUIREMENTS MINOR DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR 10 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ON INDIVIDUAL LOTS CALLED THE TIDEWATER COURT LOCATED 88 92 ST LUCIE BOULEVARD WAS RECEIVED BY STAFF. AND APPROVED BY THE CITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR PURSUANT. TO THE STUART LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. SECTION 11 OH 1.5. REQUIRES PLATT APPLICATION WHERE A PLAN DOCUMENT INCLUDES THE SUBDIVISION OF LAND. ANY
[02:45:09]
FUTURE ISSUANCE OF DEVELOPMENT PERMIT SHALL BE MAN CONTINGENT UPON APPROVAL BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE PLOT CONFORMING TO THE APPROVED APPLICATION. AND THEN FINALLY, SECTION 11 0102 C DEFINES MINOR DEVELOPMENT PLAN AS A SINGLE FAMILY, MULTI FAMILY OR DUPLEX RESIDENTIAL PROJECT BETWEEN THREE AND 35 UNITS INCLUSIVE. SO WE HAVE THE PLOT AND WE HAVE THE 10 INDIVIDUAL LOTS THAT MAKE UP TIDEWATER COURT. BUT THEY WILL ALL HAVE TO BE IN SIZE AND DIMENSION TO MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS OF THE R THREE SINK FOR SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT. AS I MENTIONED EARLIER MINOR DEVELOPMENT PLAN HAS BEEN APPROVED. AND STAFF HAS REVIEWED THAT. THERE ALSO EXISTS ON THE SITE OR ON THE DEVELOPMENT, A AN EASEMENT OVER THE PROPERTIES THAT BOTH FIRE AND PUBLIC WORKS HAVE APPROVED. AND ITS DIMENSIONS. THIS IS A PICTURE OUR AERIAL, UM, CONCEPTUAL DRAWING OF THE SITE PLAN. YOU CAN SEE THAT THE. THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. UM ARE EVEN THOUGH THAT THEY'RE CLOSE. THEY'RE CLOSE TO THE FRONT.THEY STILL MEET THE FRONT SET WILL MEET THE FRONT SETBACKS. AND AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THIS IS AN EASEMENT THAT GOES OVER THE PROPERTIES. STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 55 2021 PLATFORM. TIDEWATER COURT. WITH THE AFRICAN MARCELA KAMLER IS HERE TO GIVE HER SHORT PRESENTATION. THANK YOU, MISS GAMBLER. GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. THANK YOU, UM. MARCELA CAMPBELL OR FOR THE RECORD FOR MARCELLA CAMPBELL RECORD. UM. THIS IS, IS IT? IT'S JUST A PIECE OF THAT. I MEAN, THIS IS A THIS IS A PLAT APPLICATION. I KNOW. NORMALLY FLAT APPLICATIONS. ARE PART OF YOUR CONSENT AGENDA, BUT BECAUSE THIS WAS A STRAYED ZONING. PROJECT AND IT WENT THROUGH MINOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXCUSE ME, MINOR CYCLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL OF, UM YOUR STAFF DEEMED THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO SEE WHAT THE MINERS SITE PLAN. LOOKED LIKE BY THE WAY I DO WANT TO THANK CAVIN. AND TOM. THROUGH THIS PROCESS. THEY'VE BEEN VERY PROFESSIONAL AND RESPONSIVE. I KNOW THAT WE HAVEN'T DONE. STRAIGHT ZONING WITH SOMEONE COMING IN FRONT OF YOU NOT ASKING FOR MORE DENSITY OR NOT ASKING FOR SETBACK CHANGES OR NOT ASKING FOR ANY SORT OF REDUCTION IN A LONG TIME, AND THAT'S WHY THIS. THIS PROJECT WENT THROUGH THE MINOR CYCLONE APPROVAL OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT IT'S WITHIN YOUR THRESHOLDS. JUST THIS IS I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S CUTTING IT. IT'S NOT THE WHOLE PLAN, BUT A COUPLE OF IMAGES. IT IS A TRUE INFILL. UM. PROJECT COTTAGE LOTS. VERY SMALL FOOTPRINT. UM, ABOUT. THAT THE CODE HERE REQUIRES THAT 50% OF THE SITE REMAIN. PREVIOUS. WHICH IS A HIGHER REQUIREMENTS THAN WITHIN PDS. AND SO I, YOU KNOW, I'M. HAPPY AND EXCITED AND JUST TRYING TO, UM BRING A PROJECT. OF YOU KNOW THE KIND OF PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH DEVELOPMENT. I TRULY BELIEVE IN. ON THE SITE. UH THAT HAS BEEN MINE FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. NO, NOT THAT THE WHOLE PLAN. THIS IS AN AERIAL, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S JUST UH HUH. CAN I CAN BRING UP, BUT I MEAN, SOME OF THE ELEMENTS I'VE BROUGHT INTO THIS IS, YOU KNOW, PERVIOUS PERVIOUS ROAD OF THESE ARE THINGS THAT CAN DO ONLY IN SMALLER DEVELOPMENTS, I GUESS PERVIOUS. BLOCKS THE ELIMINATION OF THE CONVENTIONAL. THE CURB AND GUTTER AND JUST DO A VALLEY GUTTER. UM MM. P GRAVEL AND RAIN GARDENS AND A LOT OF THINGS THAT CAN ONLY BE INCORPORATED WHEN YOU'RE. WORKING IN A MUCH MORE DETAILED AND SMALLER SCALE, AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH HUGE PARKING LOTS AND THINGS ABOUT SORT. SO. SO AGAIN. THIS IS A LITTLE PREVIEW OF THE MASTER SITE PLAN. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, BUT THIS IS A PLAN. ANY, UM. SING ON THOSE LONG TURNING MOVEMENTS. UM YEAH, THE, UM WELL, IT WAS REVIEWED BY THE CITY'S CONSULTANT, KIM LEE HORN AND APPROVED BY THEM FOR THE FIRE. IT WAS APPROVED BY THE FIRE CHIEF. ON MY END IT WAS SIGNED OFF BY VULCAN ENGINEERING AND FOR FOUR, UM.
[02:50:05]
WASTE COLLECTION, EVEN THOUGH THE TRUCKS CAN FREELY MOVED. WE'VE DISCUSSED JUST HAVING PEOPLE HALL THERE. THEIR GARBAGE CAN TO THE STREET WHERE WE'RE GOING TO DO NICELY DESIGNED PAD. AND IT WILL SAVE TIME FOR THE TRUCK SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO IN THREE TIMES A WEEK, AND TO, UH, THE SITE. OKAY AND THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF MISS? YEAH. BUY SOME AIR. MM. I KNOW WE YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT. THE WASTE COLLECTION THAT THANK YOU FOR WORKING WITH OUR STAFF. HELP. WORKING ON SOMETHING. I EXPRESSED TO MISS CAMPBELL. MY BIGGEST CONCERN WAS SOME SORT OF ORGANIZATION METHOD WHERE.10 BINS EACH HAVE THEIR OWN SPOT ALONG THE STREET. SO THAT OUR DRIVER CAN DRIVE UP DOWN SIGNALS YOU BOULEVARD. AND NOT HAVE TO GET OUT. TO GET ALL THE BENDS AND KNOWING THAT THE HIV IS KIND OF KIND OF OVERSEE THAT THE OTHER DESIGNATED SPOT THEY WON'T BE LIKE ONE BEHIND ANOTHER WHERE THE DRIVER HAS TO GET OUT WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TO REORGANIZE THE BINS. PROPERLY. UM THE OTHER. CONCERN I'M WONDERING WITH IS SOME SORT OF METHOD. SO THAT.
THE EASEMENT AT THE END OF THE, UM MY LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN WHERE A FIRE TRUCK IS USING IT TO BACK UP AND EMERGENCY. FOR A WAY TO ENSURE THAT RESIDENTS AREN'T GOING TO PARK THERE SO THAT IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY SCENARIO. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP THAT? YOU KNOW, FREE FOR A FIRE TRUCK TO USE IF REQUIRED. SO THERE IS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL IN THE MINOR AND THEY PROVED MINOR SITE PLAN THAT'S REQUIRES THAT I PUT NO PARKING SIGNS. IN ALL THOSE LOCATIONS.
UM A CAR COULD NEVER BE PARKED IN A SITUATION TO PROHIBIT THE FIRE TRUCK FROM COMING IN. IF FOR WHATEVER REASON, THEY'RE THERE. WHEN THEY HAVE TO BACK OUT. I'M SURE IT'S A SMALL ENOUGH DEVELOPMENT THAT YEAH. CAN EITHER GET MOVED TOWED IF THE CARS THEY ARE THE PERSON SHOULD BE THERE TO MOVE IT, BUT IT BUT IT'S A CONDITION OF THE APPROVAL TO HAVE NO PARKING PART. THERE. IS THERE A CONDITION IN THERE? IF NOT, CAN WE ADMIT THAT, UM, LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS AUTHORITY TO ENFORCE. WITHOUT IT, THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING WITH THE NO PARKING SIGN. THE PRIVATE STREET. IF YOU CAN DO I MEAN THAT WOULD THAT WOULD NEED TO BE IN THE MINOR PLAN APPROVAL? NOT ON THE PLATTE. YOU CAN'T PUT THAT IN THE FLAT.
THAT I WOULD BE 1/5 CONDITION OR SOMETHING. IN THE MINOR FINAL SET AN APPROVAL ORDER.
CAST WE CAN ADD. POLICE HAVE THE RIGHT TO GO ON A PRIVATE PROPERTY TO ENFORCE. UM, THE NO PARKING. PARKING NO PARKING ANY OTHER. TRASH TRAFFIC. AND THEN. WOULD WE HAVE TO REQUIRE CONDITION FOR. AND I'D DEFER TO YOU FOR SOME SORT OF WAY TO ORGANIZE THE BINS. YOU LOCATION ON THE STREET OR WORKING WITH OUR WOULD YOU CONDITIONS ON PLANTS? I GUESS I'M CURIOUS. WE DON'T NORMALLY DO CONDITIONS ON PLATTS. WHAT I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST IS THAT THE APPLICANT.
PROVIDE AN AMENDED SECTION LITTLE PLAN. WHICH IDENTIFIED WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, ORGANIZES THE LAYOUT FOR THE TRASH. UM WHEN'S AND THAT CAN THEN BE ATTACHED TO THESE MINOR SITE PLAN. I MEAN, WE CAN DO THAT. I'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH MR RAJOELINA AND THIS WAS ALSO THEIR PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE. I STILL HAVE TO COME BACK WITH. FOR SUPPOSE, SET OF CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS THAT NEED TO BE APPROVED. AND UM, YOU KNOW, I'M AGREEING TO DOING THAT RIGHT NOW, AND THEY HAVE TO BE DESIGNED AND I'M SURE IF WE'RE NOT DOING IT CORRECTLY, HE WILL. YEAH I MEAN, NO, I MEAN, IT'S YOU KNOW, I'LL DEFER TO MR RAJOELINA. REALLY. IT'S AS LONG AS MY GOAL IS, IS FOR THEM NOT TO HAVE TO GET OUT AND REARRANGE THE BANDAGE PICKUP BASICALLY, AND TO HAVE IT. AESTHETICALLY PLEASING. IT SHOULDN'T BE. I MEAN, IT'S 10 UNITS. IT SHOULDN'T BE ANY DIFFERENT THAN. UM DEN, VERY SMALL UNITS. IT'S NOT A LARGE FAMILY THAT LIVES IN. THESE ARE COTTAGE HOMES. YOU KNOW, 18. 2 21 100 SQUARE FEET, HUH? YOU KNOW, THERE WAS SOME. LARGE HOMES ON THAT ROAD THAT GENERATE. 56 PINS EASILY COLLECTION DAYS SO. I WILL FOR APPROVAL SECOND. MOTION FOR APPROVAL IN A SECOND. ARE THERE.
ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WON'T HAVE ANY COMMENTS? THIS IS I DON'T NUMBER 22 RESOLUTION
[02:55:03]
NUMBER 55 2021. REGARDING TIDEWATER COURT PLOT. AND ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ZOO. MR. PAUL.ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD. NO, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY YOU'RE RIGHT. IT IS THE PERFECT INFIELD. YEAH.

OSPREY PRESERVE RPUD - RESTORATION PLAN
]EVENING COMMISSIONERS. TOM RATES AGAIN FOR THE RECORD. SHORT PRESENTATION FOR THE ASPREY PRESERVED RESTORATION PLAN. THE DEVELOPER, MAYOR TAJ HOMES OF FLORIDA. UH JUSTIN COACHES THEIR DIVISION PRESIDENT. THE SITE LOCATED JUST SOUTH OF JENSEN BEACH BOULEVARD ON THE WEST SIDE OF GREEN RIVER PARKWAY. ABOUT THE OSPREY PRESERVED WAS APPROVED IN 2018. THEY WERE, UM. REVIEWED FOR SITE PERMIT AND, UM. HAD A PRECONSTRUCTION MEETING AND AT SOME POINT MORE OF THE SITE WAS CLEARED. THEN WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED YOU CAN SEE THAT THE. OR WE CAN SEE. AND I CAN TELL YOU TONIGHT THAT THE WETLANDS AND THE UPLAND PRESERVE ON THE SOUTH AND THE WEST SIDE OF THE SITE WAS REMAINS INTACT. THIS PORTION OF THE SITE WAS TOTALLY CLEARED. AH AND THE, UH. PRESERVED THE 25 FT PRESERVE ON.
GREEN RIVER PARKWAY AND LONG JENSEN BEACH BOULEVARD WAS CLEARED. THE APPLICANT WITH MACEDO AND ASSOCIATES HAS SUBMITTED A RESTORATION PLAN. NOT SO THE ESTIMATED TREES THAT WERE CLEARED WHERE 170 TREES EQUALING 25, 2000 AND 550. UH, GBH. THE PROPOSED RESTORATION OF TREES WITHIN THE PRESERVE IS 407 TREES WITH 1707 D B H INCHES. AH! THERE WASN'T ROOM FOR ALL THE TREES TO BE PLANTED IN THE REMAINING PRESERVE THEIR 4 843 INCHES IS LEFT OVER. UH MULTIPLIED BY THE 1.5 RATIO FACTOR FOR MITIGATION OF SLASH PINES THAT EQUALS 44,275. YOU CAN SEE AND YELLOW HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW STAFF HAS PREPARED. RATIO UH, PENALTIES IF YOU MAY.
OF GREATER THAN 1.5, AND THEY GO FROM 1.5. ALL THE WAY UP TO 2.5, AND YOU CAN SEE THOSE INCREMENTAL INCREASES. THE UNDERSTORY VEGETATION CLEARED WITHIN THE PRESERVE WAS 42,140 SQUARE FEET AND THE AFRICAN IS PROPOSING TO RESTORE 42,140 SQUARE FEET. IN THE FORM OF SHRUBS. THE APPLICANT HAS ALSO SUBMITTED A PERFORMANCE SURETY BOND IN THE AMOUNT OF $507,000.09. $507,977. WE HAVE THAT IN OUR. SAFE IN OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT SHOULD THE APPLICANT FALL SHORT OF HIS. PROPOSED RESTORATION PROMISES. WITH THE WEST AFRICA MEND ARE RECOMMENDING AS FAR AS THE TIMING. THAT THE LANDSCAPE RESTORATION PLAN BE IMPLEMENTED AND COMPLETED PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE FIRST CERTIFICATE DOCUMENTS SEE OF ANY BUILDING ON THE SITE. WITH THAT THAT CONCLUDES STAFFS PRESENTATION. STEVE KERR FROM THE CDO AND ASSOCIATES IS HERE. TO GIVE HIS PRESENTATION AND I'M OPEN FOR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. MR REED'S MR GARRETT. LISTEN, STOP FOR THEM. GOOD EVENING, MADAM MAYOR, VICE MAYOR COMMISSIONERS, MR CITY MANAGER AND TO MY FELLOW LIBERAL. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR
[03:00:02]
MARTEL. UH BEFORE I GO THROUGH A PRESENTATION OF HOW WE ARRIVED AT THE RESTORATION PLAN, LIKE TO INTRODUCE MARK MCFARLAND WITH MARACAS HOMES HE'D LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS FOR. THANK YOU, STEVE. UM FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS MARK MCFARLAND. I AM THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT FOR MERITAGE HOMES LOCATED IN WEST PALM BEACH, FLA. UM FIRST OF ALL, UM TO THE COMMISSION TO STAFF AND RESIDENTS OF THE CITY AND THE COUNTY. UM WHAT HAPPENED AT THAT SITE? THERE WAS AN EGREGIOUS OVERSIGHT ON OUR PART, THE PART OF OUR CONTRACTOR AND. SOMETHING WE OBVIOUSLY DO NOT DO AS A NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS AND WILL ENSURE WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN IN ANY FUTURE PROJECT. WE DO. DOMINANCE. UM I REALLY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF EXPLANATION AS TO WHY IT HAPPENED. UM AS WAS MENTIONED, THERE WERE, UM, PRECONSTRUCTION MEETINGS. IT WAS MENTIONED THAT THOSE MEETINGS ABOUT THE PRESERVATION AREA AND HOW IT WAS TO REMAIN. UM I ACTUALLY PERSONALLY WAS ON THE SITE THE DAY BEFORE. WALKED THE SURVEY CLEARING LIMITS AND VERIFIED THAT THEY WERE DONE AND IN THE RIGHT PLACE BY OUR SURVEYOR. BUT IN YOU KNOW, BY SOME UNKNOWN REASON, OUR CONTRACTOR. REMOVED ALL OF THE CLEARING UP TO THE ROADWAY. UM, AND OBVIOUSLY IT WAS A LARGE OVERSEAS. MM IN THE FUTURE FOR PROJECTS WHAT WE PROPOSE TO DO WHAT WE WILL DO ANY SIMILAR PRESERVATION, BE INDIVIDUAL TREES OR LARGE PRESERVE AREAS LIKE THIS. BEFORE WE SEND IN CLEARING, UM, BEFORE AT THE TIME OF SILK FUNDS PROBABLY WE WILL WRAP THE AREA IN ORANGE BLAZE FENCE WITH SIGNS, YOU KNOW, STATING THAT IT'S PRESERVED AREA AND NOT TO BE REMOVED. SO THAT IS AN ACTION THAT WE ARE GOING TO PUT UPON OURSELVES AND OUR FUTURE PLANS TO MAKE SURE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. UM AGAIN, IT'S THIS IS A VERY UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT, NOT OUR NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS. WE HAVE. MULTIPLE PROJECTS IN SOUTH FLORIDA REGION AND EVEN ON THE WEST COAST OF FLORIDA AND WE TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY, UM. WE WORKED VERY HARD WOULD LISTEN TO AND STAFF TO COME UP WITH WHAT WE THINK IS A VERY REASONABLE, YOU KNOW.RESTORATION OF THE BUFFER TO GET IT BACK TO ITS PREVIOUS STATE, AND HOPEFULLY WE THINK EVEN BETTER. UM THEY'RE LIKE LIKE, SAID THERE'S ABOUT $500,000 WORTH OF TREES AND GRANTED MONEY DOESN'T. SOLVE EVERYTHING. BUT IN THIS CASE, WE DO HOPE IT WILL MAKE A BUFFER THAT WILL, YOU KNOW? STEVE WILL GO THROUGH SOME PLAN AND SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES OF WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE. UM BUT IT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WE ARE TAKING SERIOUSLY AND WE'LL DO WHAT WE CAN TO REMEDY. WOULD THAT I'M GOING TO LET STEVE COME BACK UP AND TALK ABOUT THE METHODOLOGY AND HOW HE CAME UP WITH THE PLAN AND THEN I'LL BE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. OBVIOUSLY, AFTER IF YOU'D LIKE IT. THANK YOU AT SOME O'CLOCK. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MHM. GOOD EVENING AGAIN. STEVE GARRETT, WITH LUCY TO ASSOCIATES REPRESENTING MERITAGE. UM GO BACK. UM SO. ALSO WITH US TONIGHT WITH MARK AND I IS KEVIN BELINSKY. HE'S WITH LUCY DURAN ASSOCIATES AS WELL AND IT WOULD BE UNJUST IF I DIDN'T GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR ALL THE HEAVY LIFT ON PREPARING THESE PLANS AND WORKING WITH DOUG SETS WATER AS WELL FROM OUR OFFICE. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY HARD HITTING CREDIT QUESTIONS, I'M GOING TO BRING UP KEVIN AND HE CAN ANSWER THOSE AS WELL. UM SO AS MR REITS, UM, IDENTIFIED THE AREA SHOWN IN RED IS THE FRONTAGE BOTH ALONG JENSEN BEACH BOULEVARD AND GREEN ROOM PARK, RIGHT? IT'S ABOUT 0.97 JUST UNDER AN ACRE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RETAINED ACTUALLY EXIST AS A BUFFER TO INSULATE OSPREY. PRESERVE FROM THOSE TWO ROADWAYS. SO THERE. THE BUFFER. ORIGINALLY PRE IMPACT WAS HAD TWO FUNCTIONS OR REALLY, IT WAS DESIGNED FOR, UH, WITH THE INTENT OF BOTH RETAINING THE EXISTING VEGETATION WAS THERE THAT EXISTING VEGETATION CONSISTED PRIMARILY OF SOL PALMETTO. FINALLY 468 FT. TALL FAIRLY NICE, MATURE SOL PALMETTO IN LARGE CLUMPS. AND ALTHOUGH THE SAW PALMETTO DIDN'T COVER 100% OF THE GRAND GROUND AREA WITHIN THE BUFFER I WOULD SAY A MAJORITY OF IT WAS COVERED WITH SALT TOMATO. AND THEN WE HAD QUITE A NUMBER OF SLASH PINES THAT WERE THERE AS WELL. PAN. AS TOM HIGHLIGHTED IN HIS PRESENTATION AT THE TREE SURVEY IDENTIFIES PER CITY CODE ANY SLASH PINES SOFT WOODS AND OR HARDWOODS BUT SLASH POINTS IN PARTICULAR THAT ARE EIGHT INCHES OR GREATER. WE HAD THREE OF THOSE. WE ONLY WE HAD THREE OF THEM ALONG JENSEN BEACH BOULEVARD. THOSE UNFORTUNATELY, WERE REMOVED. BUT THEY WERE MEANT TO BE, YOU KNOW, TO BE RETAINED THERE, SO WE HAD THE THREE EXISTING SLASH PINES. WE HAD THE SAW PALMETTO AND THEN IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE PLAN THAT THE COMMISSION APPROVED CROSS CREEK PRESERVE. HER LANDSCAPE PLAN ORIGINALLY WAS TO AUGMENT AND SUPPLEMENT THAT EXISTING VEGETATION TO MEET SOME OF THE ON SITE MITIGATION
[03:05:04]
REQUIREMENTS. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE LANDSCAPE PLANS FOR THESE AREAS, AND BEFORE YOU TONIGHT, YOU'LL SEE TO PLANT LISTS THE FIRST PLANT LIST, AND I'LL HIGHLIGHT THAT. BUT THE FIRST PLANT LIST IS THAT ORIGINAL. MITIGATION IMPLANTING THAT WAS GOING TO GO INTO THIS BUFFER WITHOUT ANY IMPACTS. AND THEN THERE'S A SECOND PLANT LIST THAT IS SPECIFIC TO THE MITIGATION WHERE THE RESTORATION PLAN FOR THE PROJECT. THAT IS POST IMPACT.THIS IS A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION. UH REALLY LOOKING TOWARDS THE WEST JENSEN BEACH BOULEVARDS ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THE SCREEN. HE GOT THE EXISTING RIGHT OF WAY. AND THEN YOU HAVE THE PROPOSED PRESERVE OR NOW RESTORATION AREA THERE TO NOTE THERE IS AND THEN YOU SEE THE TOWN HOME IN THE REAR LOTS OF THOSE OF THE TOWN HOME PRODUCT, AND THERE'S A 2 TO 3 FT. HIGH RETAINING WALL. THAT GOES ALONG THE BACK OF THERE'S LOTS TO ACHIEVE THE PROPER FINISH FOIL ELEVATION ABOUT WHETHER RESIDENCES BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, IN THE CROSS SECTION, YOU SEE UNDERSTORY AND CANOPY. AND WHEN I GET TO THE PLANS, YOU'LL SEE THAT OUR INTENT AND OUR PROPOSAL IN THIS FRUSTRATION IS 100% OF THE UNDERSTORY SO EVERY SQUARE FOOT THAT WAS IMPACTED.
UM. IS BEING PLANTED WITH NATIVE UNDERSTORY AS WELL AS THE CANOPY AS WELL AND YOU CAN SEE THE DENSITY THAT IS EXPECTED BRITAIN THAT THIS CROSS SECTION IS APPROXIMATELY AT TIME. OF INSTALLATION RELATIVE TO THE CANOPY. AS WELL. AND THEN I WON'T GO INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL ON THESE PLANS, BUT JUST HIGHLIGHT THIS SERIES OF PLANS GOING FROM THE TOP ALL THE WAY DOWN REALLY GOES FROM THE WESTERNMOST PORTION OF THE BAR FOR LUNCHEON SPEECH BOULEVARD. AND GOES AS YOU GO TO THE RIGHT WE'RE GOING EAST ALONG TENDS TO BE BOULEVARD, THE MIDDLE IMAGES. JENSEN BEACH BOULEVARD AS YOU GO IN RIGHT AT THE RIGHT HAND SIDE THAT IS THE TURN AS IT HEADS SOUTH ALONG. GREEN PARK, RIGHT? AND THIS IS JUST THE UNDERSTORY. SO AS YOU CAN SEE 100% OF THE SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT WAS IMPACTED AS BEING PLANTED IN ITS ENTIRETY WITH NATIVE UNDERSTORY. OUR TRUCK MATERIALS. AND THEN IN ADDITION TO THAT, THAT CANOPY THAT GOES. INTO THAT SAME AREA IS ALSO DONE IN THE SAME FASHION. AND AS MR EATS HAD POINTED OUT, SO WE HAD 170 TREES THAT WE CALCULATED WERE IMPACTED THAT WEREN'T NOTED ON THE TREE SURVEY BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T REACH THEY WEREN'T OF SIZE TO BE COUNTED AND PROTECTED. UM, WE. APPROXIMATED THAT. OBVIOUSLY IT WASN'T A TREE SURVEY THAT IDENTIFIED ALL THE SOL PALMETTO AND SLASH PINE THAT EXISTED THAT WERE THAT DIDN'T MEET THAT CRITERIA. SO HOW DO WE DO IT? WELL, THANK GOODNESS AS GOOGLE STREET VIEW. AND SOME PRETTY DECENT ARROW PHOTOGRAPHY. SO WHAT WE DID AND WHAT KEVIN REALLY PAINSTAKING WE DID WAS WE WENT LITERALLY FOOT BY FOOT USING GOOGLE STREET. VIEW AND THE ARROWS AND DID OUR BEST TO APPROXIMATE THE NUMBER OF TREES THAT WERE THERE PRE CLEARING AND SO WE ESTIMATED ABOUT 170 TREES. AND THEN WE ASSIGNED 10 INCHES TO EACH OF THOSE TREES NOW. I KNOW YOU'RE VERY WELL AWARE. IF IT'S EIGHT OR GREATER, IT'S ON A TREE SURVEY. ALL OF THESE WERE DEFINITELY UNDER EIGHT INCHES, BUT WE ASSIGNED 10 INCHES PER TREE ONE BECAUSE IT'S THE RESTORATION PLAN AND MITIGATION PLAN. AND TO, UM IF WE MISSED A TREE THAT WAS IN A LINE OF SIGHT BEHIND ANOTHER TREE WE WANTED TO LOGICALLY COMPENSATE FOR THAT SO AGAIN. EVERY 2 10 INCH TREES BASICALLY PROVIDE FOR ANOTHER TREE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AT AT THE ETHIC REQUIRED CRITERIA. SO WE FEEL IT WAS VERY CONSERVATIVE. AND REALISTIC AS A METHODOLOGY TO ACHIEVE TO QUANTIFY WHAT HAS BEEN LOST THEIR. AND THEN THROUGH THAT EXERCISE THE 2550 INCHES THAT WERE REQUIRED AS MITIGATION THROUGH THAT CALCULATION, UM WE OR PROVIDING ALL OF THOSE, EXCEPT FOR 843 THAT 843 INCHES WE TRANSLATED OR CALCULATED BACK INTO. A MONETARY AMOUNT PER CITY CODE, AND THAT'S WHERE WE ARRIVED AT THE $44,275. WITH THAT, TO BE HAPPY, ANSWERING THE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS RELATIVE. THE LANDSCAPE PLANS. UH, I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS. STEVE. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GUYS WORKED REALLY HARD TO GET THE TREES THAT YOU PLAN ON REPLACING THE TREES.
HOW TALL OR THEY BE AS OPPOSED TO THE ORIGINAL TREES. SPURS HEIGHT. UM WELL, THE I WOULD GUESS AND AGAIN, UM, YOU KNOW, WE MEASURE GBH BASICALLY ON THE EXISTING TREES AND NOT HEIGHT IN THE SURVEY. UM BUT I BELIEVE WE HAD WE HAD THE THREE PINES THAT WERE THERE AND THEN FOR MOST OF THE SITE, THEY RANGE BETWEEN 8 12 14. I THINK WE HAD SOME. MAYBE SOME 16 INCHES FINDS IT WAS FROM PRETTY TALL TREES. THEY ARE THERE, AND IT'S GONNA TAKE A LONG TIME TO
[03:10:01]
REPLACE THE FOR THOSE TREES TO GROW UP THAT HIGH. YES SIR. SO WHAT? WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING, UM, NOTHING WE CAN WE CAN PURCHASE OR THE LANDSCAPE CONTRACTING PURCHASES GOING TO MATCH WHAT WAS THERE? IN THOSE TALLER OR LARGER DPH TREES. UM WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO SLASH PRICES ARE COMING IN AT A MINIMUM OF 16 FT OF HEIGHT, LAUREL OAKS AT 12, AND THEN WE HAVE A CONTINUOUS 10 FT HIGH. MM BUTTONWOOD HAD THAT RUNS THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE RETAINING WALL SO FROM THE RETAINING WALL IN THAT FIRST FACT I CAN ASSURE YOU. UM. WHERE THE RETAINING WALL IS RIGHT TO THE RIGHT OF THE RETAINING WALL. THAT'S A SOLID 10 FT GREEN BUTTON WORD AND THEN THE REST OF THE LANDSCAPING OCCURRING BETWEEN THAT AND GREEN RIVER PARKWAY.BUT YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. THERE IS NO WAY TO MATCH THAT SAME HEIGHT. YEAH, YEAH. YOU KNOW, THIS SIZE HAD A LONG HISTORY OF A, UH YOU KNOW, FIRST WE I THINK IT WAS LIKE, WHAT IS IT 2017. WE APPROVED SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, AND THEN IT BECAME TOWN HOMES. UH, IN 2018. AND AH, THAT WASN'T HERE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE TOWN HOMES BUT WAS FOR THE AND SO I WAS PULLED UP THE TREE SURVEY FROM ONE OF THOSE APPROVALS. AND I GUESS THAT WHAT DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION. BEFORE YOU ON IT FIRST, KNOWING WHAT WAS THERE BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING AT IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S SOME 16 INCH A BUNCH OF BIGGER TREES THAT WERE IN THERE SO. THE WITHIN THE BALANCE OF THE PROPERTY ITSELF. YES, THERE WERE IN THE BUFFER AREA ITSELF.
20. OKAY. LOOKS LIKE AARON THE BUFFER, BUT IT'S HARD TO TELL. SO YOU KNOW. OKAY, UM AND HOW.
WHEN WILL THEY START PLANTING THESE TREES AND HAVE THIS RESTORATION COMPLETED? FOR THOSE QUESTIONS. I'M GONNA HAND IT BACK OVER THERE, MARK, AND YOU CAN PROBABLY ANSWER THE MAJORITY OF THE QUESTION. THEY HAVE TO ANSWER ANY OKAY? BUT. GOOD QUESTION. UM AS A NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS AFTER WE COMPLETE OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES, YOU KNOW UTILITIES, ROADS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. WE WILL IMMEDIATELY GO INTO PLANTING ARE YOU KNOW NOT ONLY THIS. RETENTION AREA OF BUFFER AREA BUT THE REST OF OUR LANDSCAPING THAT WE WILL HAVE ALSO BECAUSE AT THAT TIME WE'LL HAVE IRRIGATION AVAILABLE TO US AND THINGS ARE YOU SO IT WOULD PROBABLY BE AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR. ARE YOU USING. ARE USING THIS BUFFER AREA FOR ANY TYPE OF STAGING AT THIS POINT. NO, IT IS BLOCKED OFF FOR USE RIGHT? THEORETICALLY YOU COULD GET YOUR UNDERGROUND WORK DONE AND. REDO THE HAVE THIS BUFFER, REPLANT IT PRIOR TO STARTING VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION. UM WE HAD HOPED WHAT WE WOULD WAIT UNTIL WHEN WE GET OUR POND IN PLACE AND HAVE OUR IRRIGATION AVAILABLE TO US SO WE WOULD HAVE IRRIGATION WATER. YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, WITH THAT MANY PLANTING'S GOING IN. AT FIRST, IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME WATER TO MAKE SURE THEY SURVIVE EARLY ON. SO THAT'S WHAT OUR ORIGINAL PLAN WAS AND WHY WE HAVE A BOND IN PLACE. ALSO TO ENSURE THAT. WE DO PLAN, BUT I MEAN, IT COULD BE ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE PRIOR TO YOUR VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION. CORRECT YES, IT DOES. SO YOU COULD THEORETICALLY HAVE THAT PLANET BEFORE YOU START VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION, STARTING VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION? NO BUT AS AS MR REED'S POINTED OUT THE I'M SORRY. UM, AS MR REACH, POINTED OUT, HAVING IT DONE BEFORE THE FIRST USE AN OCCUPANCY PERMIT. FITS INTO THAT. I UNDERSTAND WITH THIS THAT WHERE I'M GOING, SO OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER MEYER. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. OKAY I HAVE SOME BIG PICTURE THINGS AND SOME SPECIFICS THAT ARE GOING TO TOUCH ON STAFF AND THE APPLICANT AS WELL. OKAY, SO BIG PICTURE. THANK YOU FOR FALLING ON THE SWORD. THIS IS A TERRIBLE MISTAKE, BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT MISTAKES HAPPEN, BUT IT'S A TERRIBLE MISTAKE. UM AND I THINK OVERALL I. I WANT TO FIND A WAY FOR US TO GET THIS REPLANTED AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. I THINK THAT YOUR PALATE THE DESIGN IS A VERY GOOD ONE, AND I WANT TO SEE IT HAPPEN. UM MY LARGER. QUESTION CONVERSATION I'D LIKE TO HAVE WITH MY COLLEAGUES IS SORT OF HOW WE WANT TO APPROACH THIS IN TERMS OF. YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE THAT. THEY'VE BEEN WORKING WITH STAFF TO COME TO US AND SAY WE'RE GOING TO USE THE CODE AND THE MITIGATION PLAN OF THE CODE TO REPLACE BECAUSE THAT'S BASICALLY THE ONLY TOOLS WE HAVE. HOWEVER RIGHT NOW THE PROPOSAL IS BASICALLY AS IF THIS WERE GOING TO BE A TREATMENT IRRIGATION AS A NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS IN THE EU DE AND REPLACING IT PER CODE. THERE'S NO REFLECTION OF AND I KNOW IT'S AT ENORMOUS ADDITIONAL EXPENSE TO YOU THAT YOU WEREN'T PLAYING ON INCURRING, HOWEVER, TO US TO THE TREES THAT WERE THERE TO THE PEOPLE NEARBY. THERE'S NO THERE'S NO EXTRA PENALTY. ON THIS. IT'S TRULY JUST MEETING
[03:15:02]
CODE WITH MITIGATION AND I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT IF I COULD JUST COME IN FOR ONE SECOND TO TONIGHT'S. MATTERS THE PRESENTATION. IF YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO DECLARE A BREACH OF THE P U D. WE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK FOR A PENALTY HEARING LIKE A CODE ENFORCEMENT HEARING THAT WOULD TAKE PLACE BECAUSE THAT'S NOT LIKE US. THANK YOU TO THE T. V IS NOT NOTICED. FOR TONIGHT. IT WAS MORE OF A PRESENTATION. I JUST POINTED OUT THE POINT OF REFERENCE.YEAH AND I THINK THE LONGER WE DO THAT, THE LONGER IT TAKES TO GET THE TREES REPLANTED, SO I'M NOT REALLY LOOKING DOWN. BREACH RIGHT NOW. BUT WHAT I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT. I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT SORT OF. YOU KNOW, IS JUST REPLACING 21 MITIGATION FOR THE CODE 100% MITIGATION.
IS THAT SUFFICIENT? THE SECOND QUESTION SPECIFICALLY, IS. UM AND I SAW THAT THE TABLE THAT STAFF HAD PRESENTED BEFORE FOR THE. MITIGATION POSSIBLE MITIGATION SCENARIOS WITH THE FINANCIAL COMPONENT. I SEE IT LOOKS TO ME AND I APOLOGIZE. WE MET ON FRIDAY. I HADN'T HAD A CHANCE TO DIVE IN. I DID THAT AND WE MET ON FRIDAY. I HADN'T HAD A CHANCE TO DIVE INTO THE NUMBERS YET. I SPENT ALL WEEKEND IN A KEPT COMING UP WITH. HIGHER NUMBER FOR THE TREE FOR THE TREE FUND CONTRIBUTES IT CONTRIBUTION THAN WHAT WAS PROPOSED IN THE PLAN, AND THAT'S BECAUSE. WHAT IT APPEARS HAS HAPPENED HERE AND YOU'VE GOT IT AS WELL. TOM, IS THAT. WE'RE LIFTING THAT EQUATION RIGHT OUT OF THE RIGHT OUT OF MUNICH CODE OUT OF THE CODE. I'M LOOKING AT IT ON UNICODE. AND THERE'S A HUGE PROBLEM THERE. THAT 0.5. OKAY, LET'S JUST WALK THROUGH IT REALLY QUICK. YOU GUYS HAVE ON YOUR PLAN YOU HAVE 843 INCHES REMAINING THAT YOU CAN'T FIT ON THE PLAN. 843 INCHES. IT'S HOW MUCH YOU'RE PROPOSING TO PAY US. 1.5 IS THE CALCULATION. FOR IT'S YOU GOTTA YOU GOTTA REPLACE 50% MORE INCHES IF IT'S A SLASH PINE. WELL YOU'VE ALREADY CALCULATED THE 50% THE 1.5 UP AT THE TOP. SO YOU'RE DOUBLING THAT? BUT. THEN SO WE'VE GOT SO THAT LEAVES US AT 12 65 INCHES, THEN YOU DIVIDE IT BY 2.5 INCHES, WHICH IS THE MINIMUM DIAMETER BREAST SITE FOR A TREE, WHICH IS FINE, SO WE'RE BREAST WIDTH. SO UH, SO THAT'S FINE. THAT NUMBER IS FINE. SO WE'VE GOT 506. SO BASICALLY, WHAT WE'VE JUST DONE IS WE'VE ALREADY MULTIPLIED THE TOTAL INCHES. BY 1.5. WE'VE DONE IT AGAIN. BUT THEN. THAT 0.556 TIMES 0.5. IN THE TABLE IN THE CODE THAT 50% SHOULD NOT BE APPLIED BECAUSE THAT 50% IS MEANT TO SAY. THE PLAN. THE MITIGATION CANNOT BE MORE THAN HALF OF THE TOTAL REQUIRED REPLANTING. SO YOU'VE JUST CUT THAT YOU CUT THE CONTRIBUTION IN HALF. YOU CAN'T BECAUSE YOU'VE ALREADY YOU'VE ALREADY REPLANTED MORE THAN HALF OF THE TREES. WE HAVE TO TAKE THAT HALF OUT. IF YOU CAN. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S EASY FOR US TO PULL UP, UNICODE. SOMEHOW ON HERE, BUT THOSE NUMBERS MEAN. THE FIRST NUMBER 843 IS THE TOTAL INCHES TO REMOVE OR IN THIS CASE TO REPLACE. SO TIMES 1.5. THAT'S THE TOTAL INCHES TO BE REPLACED. WE'RE DIVIDING THAT BY 2.5, WHICH IS THE MINIMUM SIZE TO BE REPLACED.
THAT 50% THAT 500.5. THAT'S 50% MITIGATION TO PAY INTO CITY TREE FUND THAT IS FROM FROM EXACTLY FROM THE CODE. BUT THAT IS. THAT'S NOT HAVING WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO. THAT IS THE LIMIT OF WHAT YOU CAN PROVIDE. I DON'T KNOW IF I'M MAKING SENSE TO ANYBODY. BUT. THAT WHEN I DO THE NUMBERS I'M COMING UP WITH. I'M COMING UP WITH. FIFTIES MORE THAN $50,000 IN REPLACEMENT BECAUSE. THE NUMBERS ARE OFF. I GUESS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS AND MAYBE WE DON'T NEED TO DO THIS UP HERE, BUT WE NEED TO REDO THESE CALCULATIONS AND LOOK THROUGH OUR CODE AGAIN. JUST TO GET TO THE BARE MINIMUM OF 100% MITIGATION. WE NEED MORE MONEY BASED ON OUR CODE. I'M GOING TO TRUST YOUR NUMBERS. SO. AND THEN JUST TO FURTHER COMPLICATE THINGS. IN ON UNICODE. YOU MULTIPLY THE TOTAL NUMBER OF TREES TO PLANT. BY 175. BUT WHEN 175% OF PLANT FIND R WHOLESALE SO I DON'T I DON'T BUY TREES. COFFIN, BUT. $175 FOR A TREE TO ME. DOESN'T SEEM LIKE 175% OF. PLANT FINDER WHOLESALE FOR THE REPLACEMENT
[03:20:02]
TREE. I COULD BE WRONG, BUT IT ALSO SEEMS LIKE IT WAS IN COPY AND PASTE ERROR. SO UM. SUFFICE IT TO SAY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ALL OF OUR NUMBERS RIGHT AND THAT WE'RE GETTING THE PROPER AMOUNT OF MONEY BACK AND AGAIN. I'M SORRY TO DROP THIS BOMB HERE BECAUSE TRULY IF THIS WAS LIKE ME DOING THESE NUMBERS A MILLION TIMES ALL WEEKEND. BUT. SPECIFICALLY WE'VE GOT WE'VE GOT TO GET THIS WORKED OUT A LITTLE BIT BETTER BECAUSE THE NUMBERS THAT I'M RUNNING ARE. HIGHER THAN THE 44 TO 6 TO 75. PROPOSED AND THAT'S STILL. WITH US SAYING THAT WE'RE GOING TO ACCEPT JUST REPLACING EVERYTHING AND NOT GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND. OKAY? THANK YOU, MR MEYER STAFF. OR THIS TERM. ORTO, UM. ARE YOU SAYING THAT WE JUST SEEM TO JUST DISCUSS THIS? MAYBE, UM. THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN'T MAKE ANY MAJOR. WHEN I READ THE AGENDA ITEM. THERE IS NO RESOLUTION ATTACHED TO IT. SO I PRESUMED IT WAS A PRESENTATION.YES, SIR. UM, IF THE COMMISSION. YOU COULD TAKE THE ACTION TO DECLARE BASED UPON THE PRESENTATION THAT YOU BELIEVE THE. MATTER IS IN BREACH. AND DIRECT STAFF. TO TREATED AS A CODE ENFORCEMENT OR BRING IT BACK FOR A HEARING IN FRONT OF THE COMMISSION. YOU COULD ACCEPT THE PRESENTATION OR YOU COULD GIVE YOUR COMMENTS. AND DIRECTLY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, TOO. GO BACK WITH MR GARRETT AND SCHEDULE ANOTHER PRESENTATION. BOARD. THE NEXT MEETING. WHICH AGAIN WOULD BE. TO SEE IF IT WAS A PADDLE ODE TO VOTE RESOLUTION TO YOU GUYS WITHOUT DECLARING A BREACH. I JUST MENTIONED THAT IF WE ARE GOING TO DO ANY KIND OF ACTUAL ACTION, IT WOULD EVER BE PROCESS RELATED TO A BREACH. THIS MAY SEEM OFF SUBJECT HOUSE JOLIE DOING. HAS HE HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW THIS? IT SEEMS LIKE HE WOULD BE ONE TO. HE DOESN'T NORMALLY REVIEW THAT BECAUSE IT COMES. IT'S A PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS SO WE WOULDN'T REVIEW THIS FOR HE'S OUR NUMBERS EXPERT. THOSE ARE FINANCE DIRECTOR. BUT HE WOULDN'T UM WE COME TREES, BUT OKAY. THANK YOU, MR MR MEYER. I JUST WANTED TO SAY I DON'T WANT TO DO BREACH BECAUSE THAT MEANS WE'RE GOING TO BE WAITING A HELL OF A LONG TIME FOR ANY REPLANTING. AND WHO KNOWS? MAYBE. WHAT I ALSO CAUSES THEM A LOT OF HARDSHIP. TIP WELL, I'M NOT TRYING TO. NO, I AGREE. I DON'T LOST PARTS. I WANT TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. RIGHT SOLUTION IS BETTER TO SO. SO WHAT MAY BE ANOTHER OPTION IS MAYBE ONE DIRECTION IS. LIKE I SAID, I FEEL GOOD ABOUT THE REPLANTING PLAN. I THINK WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT THE ADDITIONAL AMOUNT TO BE TOO BIG PAID INTO THE TREE REPLACEMENT FUND. THAT'S A NUMBER CONVERSATION. BUT I AM FINE WITH THE OTHER STUFF IN THERE, AND SO MAYBE WHAT WE CAN DO IF IT'S POSSIBLE. IT'S PROVIDE THE DIRECTION THAT. WE APPROVED THE PLAN THE PLANTING PLAN, BUT THAT DEVELOPMENT AND.
THE COMMISSION STILL WORK ON. I GO AHEAD, METAL MAYOR, UM, I AGREE WITH I AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER MEYER THE I THINK THE PLAN IS VERY GOOD. I THINK STEVEN'S TEAM OVER IT. WELL, CITO. GUYS DID A GREAT JOB OF TRYING TO FIX THIS. UH, BUT. IF THE TREES WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TAKING DOWN IN THE FIRST PLACE THE BUFFER WOULD HAVE CREATED WOULD HAVE SHIELDED THE CONSTRUCTION AND IT WOULD HAVE. SO THAT'S WHY I. I BELIEVE THE BUFFER NEEDS TO REPLACE PRIOR TO VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION. I AGREE WITH THAT 100. I THINK I MEAN, THERE'S TWO THINGS.
THERE'S TIME AND MONEY AND TIME JUST GOT WASHED. AWAY FOR ALL THE RESIDENTS. SO AS FAR AS GETTING A REPLACED. I AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER MCDONALD THAT. THAT SHOULD BE ABSOLUTELY TOP PRIORITY. BUT THE OTHER THING IN MY MIND TO DO WITH TIME, WHICH I KIND OF. THE NUMBERS AREN'T THROWING ME OFF AS MUCH AS THE SIZE OF THE TREES, AND IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE EVERY SINGLE TREE. BUT AFTER. WHAT I'M COMMISSIONER MACDONALD SAW WITH LIVE OAKS THAT ARE 16 INCH DIAMETER BREAST HEIGHT. I NEED TO SEE A CERTAIN BALANCE NUMBER. OF IN THE CHURCH TREES AND. I KNOW IT CAN BE DONE BECAUSE OUR CITY STAFF HAS DONE IT HERE. AND WHAT I MEAN BY MATURE TREES WOULD BE THAT YOU KNOW EIGHT 2 10 INCH DIAMETER. TREES SO THAT. THE RESIDENTS AREN'T WAITING. ON THE TIME FACTOR AS MUCH. AND THAT'S THAT'S THE ISSUE IS THAT. WE
[03:25:01]
REMOVED A LOT OF THOSE MATURE TREES. AND. CITY RESIDENTS DON'T HAVE ANOTHER FIVE YEARS 10 YEARS TO WAIT FOR THOSE TREES TO GET LARGER. SO I'D LIKE TO SEE. NOT EVERY SINGLE ONE, BUT AN EQUAL AMOUNT. ON THE EAST AND WEST AND THE NORTH AND SOUTH. OF TREES AND THAT 8 TO 10 INCH RANGE. UM WHICH I KNOW THAT. I CAN'T BELIEVE CAN'T BE DONE. WELL, I WOULD LIKE TO RESPOND TO THAT. AND ALSO TO, UM, COMMISSIONER MCDONALD. YOUR STATEMENT ABOUT PLANTING BEFORE STARTING VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION. UM NOW ANSWER THAT ONE FIRST, IF YOU DON'T MIND. AS THE NORMAL COURSE OF CONSTRUCTION FOR ALMOST ANY HOMEBUILDER. WE START MODEL HOMES WHILE OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES ARE GOING ON. UM SO I ACTUALLY FOR THIS PROJECT, WE WERE GOING TO START VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO. ABOUT FOUR WEEKS AGO, ACTUALLY, UNTIL THIS INCIDENT WAS BROUGHT UP. IN A HOLD WAS PUT ON OUR VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION LIKE RIGHTFULLY CELL. UM. SO HOLDING OUR PLANT OR HOLDING A VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT. IMPACT TO OUR NORMAL COURSE OF BILL. IT WAS A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT OUR COMMUNITY I UNDERSTAND. AND YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT THE PLAN THAT WE PROVIDED IT IS A STEP IN THAT RIGHT DIRECTION TO MITIGATE THAT. WHICH ALSO GOES INTO WHAT MR MATHESON SAID. UM, AND ONE THING THAT WE HAD. WORKED UP WITH OUR LANDSCAPE COMPANY WAS THERE'S 19 LAUREL OAKS, AND I THINK THEY WERE PROPOSED AT THREE INCH. YES, THERE WOULD BE ABOUT 10 TO 12 FT HEIGHT. WE CAN DOUBLE THAT CALIBER 26 INCH. THEY BECOME ABOUT 22 TO 25 FT TREES, ALL 19 OF THEM. A BIG THING ABOUT ADDING MORE TREES IS AS IT WAS SAID ALREADY. THAT AREA IS PACKED. WE CAN'T ADD MORE. BUT TO TAKE 19 OF THE LAUREL OAKS THAT ARE EXISTING AND SPREAD EQUALLY THROUGHOUT THAT AND MAKE THEM ALMOST TWICE AS TALL.IS SOMETHING WE CAN DO. AND YOU KNOW WE CAN RERUN THE NUMBERS AND, YOU KNOW MAKE THEM CORRECT AND INTO THE TO WHAT WAS PROPOSED, SO. THAT WOULD BE WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND OR SUGGEST ER AND HOPE THAT WE COULD WORK FORWARD TO IS YOU KNOW? PLANTING OUR TREES. AT A TIME WHEN THEY CAN BE IRRIGATED PROPERLY. ALLOWING US TO MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT THE USE AND OCCUPANCY PERMIT, THOUGH, BUT AT LEAST LET US START OUR CONSTRUCTION SO THAT THE TIMING WILL WORK OUT. IN THEM. YOU KNOW, WORK OUT OUR. NOW OUR OUR IMPACT FEE OR DONATION BASED ON THE NEW PLAN, AND BASED ON THE BETTER UNDERSTANDING, I GUESS. OF THE NUMBERS SO YOU STILL HAVE I MEAN, THAT THAT WOULD SATISFY ME WITH THE LAUREL OAKS. UM THE SLASH PINES, THOUGH. I MEAN, CAN YOU NOT SOURCE THEM OUT LARGER THAN THREE INCH OUR LANDSCAPER SAID HE WAS STRUGGLING WITH LARGER SLASH PINES AND THE LONGEVITY OF THEM TO GET BIGGER TREES, HE SAID. THEY'RE HARDER TO MAKE SURE THEY STAY. WELL, FOLKS ARE DIFFERENT STORY. UH HUH. BUT THE SLASH PINES WERE A LITTLE BIT MORE DIFFICULT TO GET BIGGER. AND PLUS, THEY FRANKLY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF. TALK TO THEM SPREAD THE OAKS HAVE A LARGER CANOPY THAT WILL TAKE UP MORE OF THAT. YES, ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE. SO. CAN YOU DESCRIBE TO ME OR NORMAL CONSTRUCTION PROCESS? WHEN WOULD YOU START DIGGING THAT YOU'RE THE POND? BROTHER WHICH COULD BE USED FOR IRRIGATION POND IS DONE NOW. ACTUALLY IT'S DONE OUR EARTH WORKOUT THERE IS PREDOMINANTLY DONE AND OUR UTILITY CONTRACTOR IS STARTING ALL THE UNDERGROUND STUFF.
WHICH IS ABOUT 60 DAYS TO DO THE WATER, SEWER STORMWATER PIPE. SO WE'VE GOT THE POND DONE. YEP. SO WHAT WE BASICALLY NEED IS YOU KNOW THE UNDERGROUND UTILITY WORK DONE.
THEN WE'LL PAVE OUR ROADS, AND WHEN THAT IS DONE, WE CAN. WE CAN PUT THE WELL IN. AND THEN RUN THE APPROPRIATE PIPING FROM THERE. WITHOUT INTERFERING ALL OF THE OTHER PIPE AND UNDERGROUND UTILITIES THAT ARE IN THE AREA OVER TO THE MITIGATE OVER TO THIS AREA FOR THE IRRIGATION. SO SOMETIME IN THE DECEMBER TIME FRAME. MID DECEMBER MID LATE DECEMBER IS WHEN IRRIGATION SHOULD BE GOING. SO IT'S AFTER WE PUT ALL THE OTHER UNDERGROUND PIPING OUT THERE, SO WE KNOW WHERE IT IS. IT'S THE SMALLEST STUFF AND EASIEST TO AVOID EVERYTHING ELSE. THANK YOU. THE PLEASURE OF THE BOARD REGARDING THIS OSPREY PRESERVES. RESTORATION PLAN. I'M WORTH. IT FEELS LIKE CRYSTAL TRIED. I USE SIDING WITH COMMISSIONER. DONALD
[03:30:08]
REALLY THAT THE TOP PRIORITY FOR US AND OUR RESIDENTS NEEDS TO BE TO GET THE TREES.PLANTED, UM YOU KNOW, I AM. CAN BE CONTENT. WITH. INCREASING THE SIZE OF THE LOWER LOBE.
WHAT WAS PROPOSED, BUT. I JUST HAVE A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING POND IS DOUG THAT YOU CAN'T PUT A TEMPORARY PUMPIN FOR TEMPORARY STATION AND GET EVERYTHING PLANTED. WORK AROUND THAT AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. YES I MEAN, WE ALSO NEED THAT LITTLE RETAINING ALL THAT WAS TALKED ABOUT EARLIER. THAT HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE BECAUSE THE CLOSE PROXIMITY UM. FOR YOU. IT HAD TO DO. IF THE IF THE TREES WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE, YOU WOULD HAVE TO DO THE RETAINING WHILE ANYWAY. WITH THAT WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO CLEAR BACK A LITTLE BIT. BUT THE NEW PLAN HAS THE BUTTON WOULD HEDGE RIGHT UP NEXT TO THE FENCE OR UP TO THE WALL? THAT WAS NOT PLANNED. CAN I ASK OKAY, SO UM. I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE BIGGER OAKS. CAN WE. IN ORDER TO KIND OF MOVE FORWARD GETTING THOSE PLANTED. WHAT WE COULD WE SAY. MAYBE WE WON'T SEEK. ADDITIONAL LIKE FOR THEM TO PAY ADDITIONAL DOLLARS INTO THE TREE REPLACEMENT FUND. ONCE WE GET IT CALCULATED PROPERLY. AND IN EXCHANGE THEY CAN PLANT BEFORE VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION IF WE CAN GIVE YOU THAT. OR HOW ABOUT AT LEAST. YOU KNOW? THE PLANTING IS PHASED. YOU KNOW, LIKE THE OAKS ARE DONE. IS THAT A POSSIBILITY SO THAT YOU'RE KEEPING NO, YOU'RE DOING IT.
LARGER TREES FIRST. MANAGING IRRIGATING THEM WHILE YOU'RE DOING YOUR RETAINING WALL AND PHASING IN THE REST OF THE PLANTING. OUR GOAL IS TO NOT WAIT TILL YOU KNOW? THE FIRST OF THE YEAR TO HAVE THIS PLANT. BECAUSE IT WILL BE AFTER THE FIRST YEAR. IF THEY WAIT TOO.
VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION IS DONE. WELL, IT'S NOT UNTIL VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION IS DONE. IT'S UNTIL OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES ARE DONE. ENDED THE NORMAL COURSE OF WHAT WE'RE DOING. IT WOULD BE RIGHT AROUND. FIRST HALF OF JANUARY WHEN THE LANDSCAPING WOULD BE INSTALLED FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. SO IT'S NOT. VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION DONE.
IT'S YOU KNOW. LIKE I SAID, WE NORMALLY START OUR MODELS EARLY SO THAT. WHEN MY LAND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES ARE DONE. LANDSCAPING IS DONE. THE MODEL IS DONE SO WE CAN, YOU KNOW, ASSUME SALES, SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW WE TIME EVERYTHING. SO TO HAVE THE BUFFER DONE FIRST. YOU KNOW, BEFORE WE EVEN START VERTICAL IS A LITTLE BIT OUT OF OUR NORMAL, I'LL SAY. OKAY ONLY A LITTLE BIT, THOUGH SO WELL IS A SUCCESS. ALSO CLEARING CLEARING LAND LIKE THIS IS OUTSIDE OF THE NORM TO IT'S OUT OF OUR NORM AS WELL AS WELL OUT OF YOUR NORM. SO BUT SOME TYPE OF A PHASED APPROACH WHERE WE CAN PLANT THE OAKS AND THEN YOU KNOW WE COULD START. MAYBE WE COULD HAVE. TWO THIRDS OF THE PLANNING'S DONE PRIOR TO A VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION. STARTING I COULD PROBABLY LIVE WITH SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT IT'S WE'D HAVE TO, BUT I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR Y'ALL, TOO. FIGURE OUT THAT PHASING AND COME BACK TO US, NOT YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK YOU CAN FIGURE IT OUT ON THE FLY. BUT. I'M OPEN TO PHASING, BUT I KNOW.
MY ISSUE IS THE NORMAL APPROACH IS KIND OF OUT THE WINDOW FOR US RESIDENTS. I'VE HAD NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS NOW ABOUT ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. SO I WILL SAY ALSO TOO. AND AGAIN, I UNDERSTAND THE BUFFERING AND WHERE WE REMOVED THE BUFFER AND WE HAVE THE VISUAL IMPACT NOW.
BUT WE ALSO HAVE A BOND IN PLACE TO ENSURE THE WORK GETS DONE. SO I MEAN, WE'VE GOT THE MONEY. WE'RE JUST WORKING ON THE TIME. YES BUT IF WE PLANT BEFORE WE CAN START VERTICAL IS THE BOND STILL NECESSARY OR ONCE. EVERYTHING IS PLANTED TO THE PLANS. I DON'T KNOW. REFER TO OUR. CITY ATTORNEY AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT OF THE BONDS STILL NECESSARY. BOND IS TO ENSURE THE TREES. SEEM TO ME THAT THE TREES ARE IN THERE. YEAH TREES ARE IN WHENEVER THAT IS, UH, I DON'T NEED TO BOND IF THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT FIRST. I MEAN, THEY POINTED THE BOND WAS TO PROMISE THAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO IT RIGHT. BUT HONESTLY, WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT FOR US IS
[03:35:04]
THAT WE'RE ALLOWED TO START VERTICAL. SO THAT OUR BUFFERING IN OUR INITIAL MODEL HOMES ARE DONE AT THE SAME TIME. I MEAN, THAT'S. PLACING THE BOND IS WAS WHAT WE DID TO ALLOW US HOPEFULLY TO, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS OUR OUR EFFORT TO ALLOW US TO START OUR VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION BEFORE PLANTING THE BUFFER WAS THAT WAY YOU HAD THE TEETH. TO PENALISE US OR HOLD US ACCOUNTABLE, I'LL SAY FOR NOT PUTTING HER FOR TAKING THE BUFFER DOWN, BUT YOU HAVE THOSE TEETH TO MAKE SURE WE PUT THEM UP BEFORE WE CAN. MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR WITH SELLING HOMES OUT THERE. SO THAT WAS OUR INTENTION OF THE BOND, AND WE SPLIT VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION INTO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MODEL. AND BEFORE YOU DO ANY OTHERS, OR DO YOU NEED TO BEGIN ALL OF THEM? SOME PHASE? WE TYPICALLY WOULD START LIKE ANOTHER MONTH. WE WOULD START OUR PRODUCTION HOMES. I'LL CALL THEM NOT OUR MODELS. UM SO I WOULD. PROBABLY BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT WORK. YES, BUT. IN THE I STILL GO BACK TO THE USE AND OCCUPANCY PERMIT. THAT'S.HOLDING THAT UNTIL WE GET OUR PLANTING DONE IS, YOU KNOW THAT WORKS? DEFINITELY THAT IS. IT'S STILL A LITTLE BIT EARLY, PROBABLY, BUT WELL, I'LL MAKE THAT WORK. BUT THE MODEL IS I'LL MAKE THAT WORK, TOO. FOR ME. IT'S NOT. WAITING TILL THE VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION. IT'S WAITING FOR 60 DAYS UNTIL YOU HAVE ALL YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE AND ROADS AND EVERYTHING ELSE, WHEREAS I'M LOOKING MORE AT, OKAY, YOU CAN DO THE VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION. I'M LOOKING TO HAVE THE PLANTS PLANET AND A TEMPORARY IRRIGATION SYSTEM SET UP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I DON'T.
IF WE DO HAVE THE BOND. I'M OKAY WITH IF YOU CAN RALLY YOUR TEAM FAST ENOUGH. TO DO WITH VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION. WHAT I WANT TO SEE IS THOSE PLANTS IN THE GROUND AND SOME SORT OF WAY THAT THEY STAY ALIVE. THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT. 60 DAYS. HOW ABOUT GIVE ME ONE MONTH.
ALLOW YOU KNOW, ALLOW US TO START OUR MODEL HOME. WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO. GIVE ME ONE MONTH TO GET A START PLANTING TO GET SORRY TO START PLANTING TO GET OUR TEMPORARY IRRIGATION SET UP. AND THEN. AGAIN THEN WE'LL HAVE ALL OF OUR PLANTING'S DONE BEFORE USE AND OCCUPANCY. AND IF IN ONE MONTH TIME WE DON'T HAVE WE HAVEN'T STARTED. YOU CAN YOU KNOW? STOP WORK ORDERS A POINT OF REFERENCE IF YOU GUYS DIRECTED THE DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR TO SIT DOWN WITH THE APPLICANT OR THEIR AGENT. AND TO COME BACK AND DO A PRESENTATION AT THE NEXT MEETING. MEANTIME THEY'RE NOT IN BRIEF SO THEY COULD TECHNICALLY PULL A PERMIT TO START CONSTRUCTION. IF AT THE NEXT MEETING YOU FOUND IT UNSATISFACTORY. AND YOU DECLARED BREACH. IN BREACH. THE. COULD TECHNICALLY PULL THE PERMIT AND THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PULL ANY OTHER PERMITS UNTIL THE. REACH WAS RESOLVED.
JUST LIKE IN A CODE ENFORCEMENT. SOMEONE'S FENCE IS IN CODE ENFORCEMENT. THEY CAN'T COME IN AND PULL A PERMIT TO BUILD A PORCH ON THEIR HOUSE UNTIL THEY BRING THE FENCE INTO COMPLIANCE. SO IT WOULD EFFECTIVELY STOP THEM AT THAT POINT RIGHT NOW, THERE IS NO BREACH. NO ONE'S DECLARED A BREACH THERE KIND OF FALLING ON THE SWORD. AS YOU POINTED OUT, COMMISSIONER, THEY HAVE A STOP WORK ORDER, BUT THE BUILDING, INSPECTOR. ENTERED A STOP WORK ORDER THAT HE HAS THE EXCLUSIVE AUTHORITY. TO LIFT TOMORROW. IF IN FACT HE GETS DIRECTION FROM YOU GUYS OR HE FEELS LIKE LIFTING IT. FOR WHAT? I DON'T KNOW IF THE PROBLEM IS RECTIFIED, SO YOU GUYS COULD BE ANOTHER WAY YOU COULD LEAVE THE STOP WORK ORDER FOR TWO WEEKS AND COME BACK IN TWO WEEKS. THAT'S WHAT I THINK. I THINK I THINK THAT WE SHOULD LEAVE THE STOP WORK ORDER IN PLACE. HAVE DRUG STAFF TO BEAT WITH I'M SORRY. WHAT WAS YOUR NAME IS SET UP MISTER MCFARLAND AGAIN, MR MCFARLANE AND ARE TO WORK OUT A THE. THEY HEARD OUR COMMENTS WORK OUT A PLAN THAT HOPEFULLY IT'S ACCEPTABLE. CAUSE I, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS WANT TO GET MOVING BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE HAVE OUR PRIORITIES AND THEN FROM THERE, WE CAN. WE? HOPEFULLY WE CAN PUT THIS THING TO BED AND BE DONE WITH IT. BUT I THINK THAT, UH. YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT, UH, I THINK THAT, UH, THE STEVE AND EVERYBODY FROM MACEDO DID A GREAT JOB ON THE PLAN FOR I THINK THE PLANTING, UH, I'M NOT THE TREE EXPERT. BUT THE GUYS THAT DO LIKE THE TREES DO THE TREE STUFF SEEMS TO THINK IT'S A PRETTY GOOD PLAN, SO. WORK ON THE FACE. THEY WANT SOME SORT OF PHASING PLAN ALSO READ ME THE RIOT ACT, BUT. WELL YOU KNOW YOU HAVE YOU CAN HAVE YOUR BOSS CALLED ME. I MEAN, THAT'S NO NO, NO, NO, NO, I'M JUST SAYING, SO. I MEAN IT'S UH, IT'S TWO WEEKS. I WILL MAKE IT WORK AND WE WILL BE BACK HERE.
[03:40:03]
I MEAN, IF YOU HAVE A MEETING IN LESS TIME THAN TWO WEEKS, I'LL 24 YEARS BEFORE THAT. I LIKED. I MEAN, ON THE 25TH. WE'RE GOING TO GET AN UPDATE AND SEE HOW FAR OFF WE CAN BE WITH PLANTS GOING IN THE GROUND BASIC. YES. MR MARK, MR AND FIX THE MATH. DO WE NEED EMOTION FOR THIS? CAN THEY PLANT WITH A STOP WORK ORDER? THEY CAN DO SITE WORK. THEY DO RECTIFYING CODE PROBLEM SO THE BUILDING INSPECTOR CAN ALLOW THEM TO TAKE ACTIONS THAT SAUL. THE NON COMPLIANCE SECURITY. SOME ARTILLERY SATISFIED. WE NEED ANY OTHER ACTION OR ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM. COMMISSIONERS TO STUFF STAFF KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO. DEVELOPER KNOWS THAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO KNOWS THAT THE ULTIMATE. YES, MA'AM. OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M. SO TWO WEEKS COME BACK TO THE NEXT COMMISSION MEETING. IN THE MEANTIME, STOP, FOUR QUARTER STAYS IN PLACE. YOU'RE GOING TO MOBILIZE AND BEGIN PLANTING, ACCORDING TO THIS PLAN, PLUS THE LARGER OAKS. BUT I CAN'T GUARANTEE I'M GOING TO MOBILIZE STARTING IT. I DON'T KNOW HOW QUICKLY MY LANDSCAPER CAN GET ALL THE PLANTS AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT. I'M GONNA I'LL PUT ALL OF THAT IN ORDER RIGHT IN MOTION, AND IN TWO WEEKS, I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHERE I SAY. OKAY, THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO SAY WE'RE NOT EXPECTING AND TAKE ME MORE THAN TWO WEEKS TO GET. WE'RE NOT EXPECTING TO SEE PLANTS IN THERE IN TWO WEEKS, BUT WE'LL MEET AGAIN AND THEN WE'LL HAVE THE REST OF THESE DETAILS AND TIMING AND CREDITS AND FUNDS WORKED OUT. THANK YOU. YEAH WITH REGARD TO STAFF, I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S STAFF FOR THE DEVELOPER. WELL, JUST ON THE AGENDA. UM THERE WAS A MISSPELLING ON THE WORD WRITER.AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE WE HAVE THE AGREEMENT. WE HAVE THE PERFORMANCE BOND IN SOME OTHER THINGS AS. ATTACHMENTS IT'S B THREE. I DIDN'T BE THREE. WRITER SO I JUST WANTED TO JUST BE SURE THAT OUR AGENDA ITEM HAS A GOOD, UM. HAS A PROPER LANGUAGE. WE CAN'T CHANGE IT AGAIN. BUT AT LEAST MARRIED, I'LL CLERICAL AND ALL THAT. THAT WAS A I'M OFFERING THAT AS A CORRECTION. ALL WE ARE AWARE OF WHAT WE'RE DOING. EVERYBODY OK, CITY MANAGER. OK, CITY ATTORNEY, OKAY. IS A DEVELOPER. FULLY AWARE. AND STAFF KNOWS HOW THEIR APPROACH ANOTHER MR LIQUOR LAWS. HE'S NOT HERE. BUT I'M SURE THAT MR FREEMAN WILL. TALK TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT.
YES, MA'AM. YES. THANK YOU FOR IT. MR NICHOLAS IS HERE. YOU'RE FINE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WHOLE THAT SOFT WORK ORDER. YEAH. TO THE MANAGER WILL DEAL WITH IT. THANK YOU, UM THANK YOU FOR YOUR UH, TIME. DATE, MR MCCARTNEY, MR. PROMISE OC IT. IS THERE ANY QUESTION FROM THE PUBLIC? I'M HIDING. AN ENGINEER, BUT IT. HE HIRED THIS COMPANY HIRED SOMEONE TO DO THE JOB, AND HE SAID HE WAS THERE THE DAY BEFORE AND TOLD HIM WHAT TO DO. AND THEN THE GENTLEMAN WITH THE BILL GOES OR DID WHAT HE DID. AND THAT HIS COMPANY CAN SUE THE GUY THERE WAS RUNNING THE BULLDOZER. AND WHEN YOU PLANT TREES LIKE. AT SHEPHERD'S PARK. I NEED STILL SOME BOULEVARD. THERE'S SUCH A THING AS A WATER TRUCK. WHY CAN'T HE GO AHEAD? BECAUSE LIKE YOU SAID, LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, AND, UH, THERE IS NO REASON THAT THEY CAN'T START PLANNING BECAUSE THERE'S PLENTY OF NURSERIES. GET IT RIGHT IN AND HAVE WATER TRUCKS THERE AND LET THEM WATER IT AND THEN WHEN HE GETS HIS DUMB, UH, PUMPS AND THAT GOING HIS COMPANY, I'M SAYING I'M SPEAKING, NOT JUST YOU. IT'S YOUR COMPANY. NO IT'S NOT FAIR TO THE PUBLIC, BECAUSE I GOT A LOT OF QUESTIONS. I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE KEEP AT TALKING TO ME ABOUT IT. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR YOUR JOB.
