[PRESENTATIONS]

LAMBERT OPPORTUNITY TO BE A PART OF THIS FAMILY. WHEN I FIRST STARTED HERE, I WAS EMBRACED WITH OPEN ARMS FROM MY TEAM MEMBERS AND OTHER FELLOW PEOPLE IN OTHER DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE 10 YEARS AND I LOOKED TO DO MANY MORE TIME WE'D HANG IT UP. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR SATURDAY. UP NEXT. WE HAVE A PRESENTATION ON LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT. FROM THE REGION MARINE RESOURCES COUNCIL. UM, HEADED BY THEIR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DR LISA SOTO. GOOD AFTERNOON. THANK YOU FOR COMING . GOOD AFTERNOON. CAN EVERYBODY HEAR ME? OKAY. YEAH PERFECT. MY NAME IS LISA SOTO. I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE MARINE RESOURCES COUNCIL. AND THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME TO TALK ABOUT THE IMPACT DEVELOPMENT TODAY. I KNOW A NUMBER OF YOU WERE AT OUR CONFERENCE LAST YEAR, SO I DON'T INTEND TO BURDEN YOU WITH LIKE, WHAT IS IT? AND HOW DOES IT WORK? SO I'M JUST GOING TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPDATE OF WHAT WE'RE DOING AND INVITE MY COLLEAGUE CHRIS BOGDEN. WITH FERGUSON WATERWORKS TO TALK MORE SPECIFICALLY ABOUT SOME OF THE MECHANISMS THAT YOU CAN PUT INTO PLACE TO REALLY GET WATER BACK INTO THE GROUND. SO FIRST OF ALL MARINE RESOURCES COUNCIL, THE CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION THAT WAS ESTABLISHED BY A GROUP OF COMMUNITY LEADERS AND PROFESSORS TO ENGAGE THE PUBLIC IN LAGOON, SCIENCE AND RESTORATION. WE'VE BEEN AT IT FOR OVER 30 YEARS NOW . WE OPERATE IN PALM BAY. OUR MAIN HEADQUARTERS IS AT THE TED MOORHEAD LAGOON HOUSE, WHICH IS THE BUILDING YOU SEE IN THE PICTURE THERE. BUT WE ALSO HAVE A MANGROVE, A VERY LARGE MANGROVE NURSERY AND WE ARE A LICENSED AQUACULTURE FACILITY, AND THAT'S A NURSERIES IN THIS IS IN SEBASTIAN, INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, BUT OUR MISSION COVERS THE ENTIRE 157, MILE LONG LAGOON FROM NEW SMYRNA. OR YOU KNOW UP THE HALIFAX A BIT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE LOXAHATCHEE. SO KNOW WHERE WE'RE RIGHT HERE IN YOUR WHEELHOUSE. WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING IN THE CITY OF STEWART FOR OUR INDIAN RIVER LAGOON. WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO BE FLORIDIAN.

NOW. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS SAW THE FLAMINGOS THAT WERE DOWNTOWN, RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT THE FERTILIZER ORDINANCES THAT WERE PASSED, BUT THAT WE WORKED WITH THE WITH MARTIN COUNTY AND DIANE HUGHES THERE ON THAT PROJECT, AND I BELIEVE WE WERE THE FIRST ONES TO PASS A FERTILIZER ORDINANCE. UH UM. MAYBE I DON'T 1011 WORKED ON THE WEST COAST AND I THINK THAT FIRST ONE WAS ACTUALLY IN THE CITY. IT WAS IN SANTA BELL, BUT ON THE WEST COAST WATERSHED, YEAH. COOL YEAH. EXCELLENT SO THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING A LEAD ON THAT WE FULFILL OUR MISSION. ACTUALLY TED MOREHEAD IS IN THE PICTURE. TED MOORHEAD WAS ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF OUR ORGANIZATION. HE STILL VISITS US REGULARLY, BUT WE DO OUR MISSION THROUGH SCIENCE, EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY. AND WITH THE NEED REALLY TO, YOU KNOW, WE UNDERSTAND AND RECOGNIZE THAT THE LAND WATER CONNECTION IS REALLY KEY AND UNDERSTANDING. WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE LAND IS

[00:10:03]

WASTEWATER EXCUSE ME, GROUNDWATER CAN PERCOLATE UP INTO THE LAGOON. THERE'S A LOT OF GROUNDWATER ENTERING THE LAGOON THROUGH VARIOUS MECHANISMS, INCLUDING CANALS. SO THE STORM WATER SYSTEM IN THE STATE AND YOU ARE PAINFULLY AWARE OF THIS ONE IS ABOUT DRAINING THE INTERIOR THE STATE THROUGH CANALS TO OUR COASTAL AREAS, SO ALL OF THAT POLLUTED WATER COMING DOWN CANALS ENTERING THE ESTUARY. AND IN THE CASE OF THE LAGOON, WE'VE GOT RETENTION TIMES IN SOME AREAS. THE LAGOON THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, AS MANY AS ALMOST $365, SO POLLUTION GOES IN STAYS IN SO ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT CONTRIBUTORS MANY DIFFERENT SOURCES, WHETHER THEY'RE GLANDS , RESIDENTIAL LANDS, INDUSTRIAL LANDS ALL OF THAT RUNOFF AND GROUNDWATER. INFILTRATION IS COMING INTO THE LAGOON. UM IT'S CALLED HYPER EUTROPHICATION AND A LOT OF NUTRIENTS CAUSED BLOOMS OF ALGAE. AND THEN THOSE ALGAE BLOOMS WILL EVENTUALLY DYING IN THE DEATH OF ALGAE DISSOLVED OXYGEN DROPS. WE END UP WITH THESE MASSIVE FISH KILLS EVERYTHING EVENTUALLY DIES. FALLS TO THE BOTTOM CAUSES ANOXIC CONDITIONS WITH NO OXYGEN AT ALL. MARK ACCUMULATING, ETCETERA. SO IT IS A PROBLEM THAT IS, UM, AMPLIFYING ON ITSELF OVER TIME. SO LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT IN GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE IS ABOUT REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF RUNOFF TRYING TO REALLY KEEP STORM WATER ON THE GROUND, WHERE IT CAN PERCOLATE SLOWLY THROUGH THE SOIL INTO THE GROUNDWATER. INSTEAD OF JUST COLLECTING ALL THAT POLLUTION AND RUNNING OFF CHANNELING OFF IN HIGH CONCENTRATIONS IN HIGH VELOCITIES INTO RECEIVING WATERS. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE. SO WHAT I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT IS REALLY IS GOING FROM WHAT HAS HAPPENED HISTORICALLY, AS WE'VE GONE FROM GREEN LANDS GREEN, UM LANDSCAPES TO GRAY, MEANING CONCRETE, SO GOING FROM GREAT GREEN FROM GREAT GREEN TO GRAY. WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS GO BACK.

WE WANT TO TRY TO GET AS MUCH GREEN BACK INTO INTO THE LANDSCAPE AS POSSIBLE, WHICH, IN INFIELD COMMUNITIES LIKE THIS IS COCO BEACH. AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE. SO COCOA BEACH IN 1950.

LOOKED LIKE THIS. YOU CAN SEE THIS AMAZING ALLUVIAL FLOODPLAIN RIGHT HERE WHERE HURRICANE OR PROBABLY A SERIES OF THEM. MAYBE A MASSIVE STORM BURST THROUGH THE BARRIER ISLAND MANY MANY YEARS AGO INCLUDED THIS ALLUVIAL FLOODPLAIN DEPOSIT IN COCOA BEACH THAT THEY TURNED INTO HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES WITH CANALS. RIGHT. SO ALL OF THIS THAT USED TO NATURALLY CLEAN WATER IS NOW CRAPPED IN TURNED INTO GRAY INFRASTRUCTURE, CONCRETE. IT'S ALL IMPERVIOUS WITH THAT INCREASE IN IMPERVIOUSNESS, YOU END UP WITH ALL OF THE RAIN, HITTING THE GROUND. HUGE VOLUMES CURING ALL THAT POLLUTION RIGHT INTO THE INDIAN MARBLE AGAIN. SO THAT YOU THAT'S BEGINS THAT CYCLE, SO WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS TRY TO REDUCE THOSE INITIAL PEAK VOLUMES. AND TO DO THAT, WE NEED TO GET THE GREENBACK ONTO THE LANDSCAPE GETTING THE GREENBACK.

SO HERE'S TWO EXAMPLES OF GOING FROM GRAY TO GREEN ON THE LEFT PART OF THE SCREEN HERE. THIS IS YOUR TYPICAL STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE. IT'S THE GREAT INDUSTRY TO THE STREET WOULD BE SLOPED IN A WAY THAT THE WATER WOULD ACCUMULATE AND END UP DOWN THE STRAIN. GO INTO A GIANT PIPE THAT COULD BE FIVE FT. TALL AND THEN DUMPED HIM IN THE BILLIONS OF GALLONS WITH EVERY TWO INCH RAIN EVENT. CARRYING EVERYTHING WITH IT, INCLUDING IN THIS CASE, YOU SEE THE LEAF LITTER THE GRASS CLIPPINGS, ANYTHING ELSE THAT'S IN THAT STREET OILS AND GREASES LININGS OF BREAKS, ETCETERA RIGHT INTO THE INTO THE WATERWAY. SO HERE'S YOUR EXAMPLE OF YOUR TYPICAL BUILT, UM PUBLIX PARKING LOT, FOR EXAMPLE, OR ANY MAJOR, YOU KNOW, INDUSTRIAL PARKING LOT AGAIN. IT'S ALL THIS COMPLETELY CAPPED WITH CONCRETE ALL OF THAT WATER. IS GOING TO END UP RUSHING DOWN A PIPE INTO THE LAGOON. COCOA BEACH IS ACTUALLY FACING THE FACT THAT THAT WITH THE LAGOON WATER RISING RYZEN NINE INCHES IN THIS AREA OF THE LAGOON. THEIR THEIR PIPES ARE NOW SUBMERGED, SO THEY'RE NO LONGER FLOWING. SO WHEN IT RAINS IT BACKS UP IN THESE PARKING LOTS ARE UNDERWATER, SO THEY'VE GOT AN ISSUE THAT THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH. SO THEY STARTED USING LED AND GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE TO DEAL WITH FLOODING ISSUES, WHICH IS WHY A LOT OF PEOPLE DO IT. SO THEY'RE TRYING TO GET MORE GREEN IN THE AND BACK INTO THEIR REALLY THEIR ROADWAYS AND BACK INTO THEIR DESIGNS FOR CITING, UM, THIS IS A SERIES OF TWO HOTELS THAT WORK TOGETHER TO

[00:15:06]

[00:20:03]

THAT'S WHAT GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE IS. SO WE'VE WORKED WITH ALL CITIES UP AND DOWN THE COAST, AND WE'VE LEARNED A LOT AS WE'VE DONE THAT, AND WE'RE BRINGING THAT LOCALLY HERE TO THIS COMMUNITY TO HELP WITH ALL THE STUFF THAT DR SOTO TALKED ABOUT, AND SOME OF THE STUFF THAT WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT TODAY, BUT ULTIMATELY WHERE WE SUPPORT MUNICIPALITIES IS HELPING YOU ALL FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THIS. RIGHT SO WORKING WITH YOUR STORMWATER TEAM. MAYBE YOUR PUBLIC WORKS TEAM TO SAY, HEY, HERE'S SOME OPPORTUNITIES IN THE CITY. THESE ARE WITH THESE OPPORTUNITIES LOOK LIKE WE KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY THESE THINGS COST. WE CAN TALK BUDGETS WITH YOU AND REALLY START TO EXPLORE HOW WE CAN IMPLEMENT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT USING GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO TELLING FOLKS ABOUT ALL THE GREAT STUFF YOU'RE DOING WITH PUBLIC OUTREACH EXAMPLE OF WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE JUST A LITTLE BIT NORTH OF COCOA BEACH CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL CITY. PROBABLY MUCH LIKE YOURS TOTALLY BUILT OUT. GET STORM WATER PROBLEMS. HOW DO WE MANAGE STORMWATER IN A GREEN WAY WHEN 97% OF THE CITY'S PRIVATELY OWNED RIGHT, SO WE LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES. WE SAY BIKE LANES. THIS IS A GREAT AMENITY TO GIVE THE COMMUNITY AND THERE'S TECHNOLOGIES OUT THERE THAT WE CAN PUT IN CURBING THAT ACTUALLY TAKES THE WATER. HER IN RIGHT AT THE CURB BLIND THE PURPOSE OF DOING THIS FOR THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL IS LET'S KEEP ALL THAT POLLUTED WATER OUT OF THE INDIAN RIVER. IF WE PUT IT INTO THE GROUND, USING A SYSTEM LIKE THIS NOW I NEVER EVER GETS THERE AND OH, BY THE WAY, THEY HAVE HUGE FLOODING PROBLEMS BECAUSE 97% OF THEIR CITY IS CONCRETE. GUESS WHAT THIS HELPS WITH THAT, TOO, SO WE CAN HELP YOU ALL CHECK SOME BOXES IN TERMS OF CLEANING WATER, REDUCING LOCALIZED FLOODING. AND WE DO THIS ALL THE TIME, SO JUST AN EXAMPLE OF HOW WE DO THAT WE LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH YOU GUYS, UM, TO ULTIMATELY PROTECT WATER AND KEEP THIS CITY THRIVING BECAUSE OF HOW PRETTY IT IS ALL AROUND. SO THANKS FOR GIVING US AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK CONTACT INFORMATION WILL BE AROUND. SO IF THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO YOU GUYS, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE IN DEPTH ABOUT THIS OR SHOW THE CITY HOW WE COULD ACTUALLY DO SOME THINGS HERE. WE'D LOVE TO TIME FOR US TODAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR COMING, MR PETERSON. UH, ANY QUESTIONS? UM WHAT? I'M I'M ACTUALLY PLANNING ON ATTENDING THE CONFERENCE. I COULDN'T LAST YEAR, SO I'M GONNA ATTENDED THIS YEAR, BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OUR STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN B CERTAINLY GOOD TO INCORPORATE SOME OF THESE THEORIES AND THESE TECHNIQUES AND THEORIES, TECHNIQUES AND TO, UH SOLVING OF SOME OF OUR FUNDING ISSUES, ESPECIALLY IN SOME OF THE SOME OF THE NET RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS. WHERE WHERE WE COULD REALLY GREEN THINGS UP A LITTLE BIT AND KEEP EVERYTHING GREEN AND ACTUALLY SOLVED ACTUAL FLOODING PROJECT PROBLEMS THAT WE DO HAVE THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? UM DR SOTO. I WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING. UM, I KNOW I AND A COUPLE OTHER COMMISSIONERS ATTENDED. AND YOUR YOUR CONFERENCE LAST YEAR. THANK YOU . FOR ALL THE WORK THE MARINE RESOURCES COUNCIL IS DOING, UM, PUSHING. THAT NEEDLE FORWARD ON THIS ISSUE. AND I KNOW OUR STAFF WILL BE IN TOUCH, REALLY LIKE TO SEE US. USE THE NEWLY DEVELOPED TOOL FROM UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA TO KIND OF GO THROUGH OUR CODE. PRIOR TO MAYBE. SOME OF OUR STAFF ATTENDING. YOU KNOW THE SECOND ANNUAL CONFERENCE. THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC. THERE WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY AT THE CONFERENCE. YOU KNOW, SO IF YOU'VE ALREADY PREPARED SOME QUESTIONS, EVEN HAS AGREED ON DAY TWO TO HAVE LIKE ALMOST A PRIVATE HOUR BEFORE THE CONFERENCE WITH ANYBODY THAT HAS QUESTIONS TOUR HAD EXCELLENT DRESS QUESTIONS FOR THE EXCELLENT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU TOUCH PARTNER IN OUR EFFORTS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. IS THIS YOUR PARTY? UP NEXT WE HAVE A LEGISLATIVE SESSION. RECAP BY MR BEN HOGARTH.

[00:25:15]

[00:30:04]

THAT'S SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER WITH WHAT I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT IN THE PREVIOUS BILL. SO THE CITY CAN CURE THAT PROBLEM, OF COURSE, BY REPEALING THE ORDINANCE, AND THAT INCLUDES CHARTER AMENDMENTS, WHICH IS IRONIC BECAUSE CHARTER AMENDMENTS HAVE TO BE. AH THAT'S A REFERENDUM BY THE PEOPLE, UM, NOT EVEN THE COMMISSION. AND YET, THAT'S STILL REFLECTED IN THIS, SO JUST, YOU KNOW, THINKING ABOUT THOSE THOSE IMPACTS AND THEN YOU CAN ALSO AMEND AN ORDINANCE OR GRANT A WAIVER TO BUSINESS. AND SO YOU CAN EXEMPT ESSENTIALLY INDIVIDUAL BUSINESSES FROM FROM THAT, AND IT SORT OF DEFEATS THE PURPOSE BECAUSE THEN THEN JUST ANYBODY THAT CHALLENGES THE CITY CAN JUST FIND THEMSELVES EXEMPT FROM FROM SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY ELSE IS STILL ACCOUNTABLE FOR SO AGAIN HERE AWARD OF ATTORNEY'S FEES. IN THIS CASE THEY ONLY GAVE IT TO THE PREVAILING PARTY, WHICH IS TYPICALLY WHAT YOU SEE IN LAW.

UM BUT I WANT TO REALLY, REALLY FOCUS ON HOW DAMAGING AND DANGEROUS THIS AWARD OF ATTORNEY'S FEES ARE, BECAUSE NOT ONLY ARE YOU OPENING EXPOSURES, BUT IT'S SO NEBULOUS. I COULD GIVE YOU A COUPLE EXAMPLES IN LAW, BUT, UH WHEN YOUR SUIT IS A CITY FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

ONE OF THE EXAMPLES THAT THEY'LL GIVE IS IF THERE'S TWO PARTIES, FOR EXAMPLE, WE CALL IT THE I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER THE NAME OF IT. AH! IT'S PROTECTING BOTH PARTIES IN A CIVIL ACTION TO

[00:35:08]

[00:40:03]

SUDDENLY ALL YOUR ALL YOUR COSTS ARE NOW COVERED BY THAT BY THE CITY, SO OUR EXPOSURE IS JUST IT'S JUST, UM IT'S UNLIMITED, THE WAY IT WAS KIND OF DRAFTED, AND SO IT'S A. IT'S A CONCERN MOVING FORWARD IN THESE THESE BILLS. WE SAW THE FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES THE FLORIDA ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES, UM, FIGHT VIGOROUSLY AGAINST THE ENTIRE TIME. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE ORIGINAL DRAFTS COMPARED TO THESE HEAVILY AMENDED DRAFTS, THEY WERE FAR FAR WORSE, SO THE LEAGUE'S DEFINITELY DID THEIR THEIR JOB AND CAN HELP US ON THAT. BUT IT IS A CONCERN THAT THIS IS THE DIRECTION THAT EVEN THESE LEGISLATORS ARE GOING BECAUSE IN SOME RESPECTS THEY'RE ALMOST NUCLEAR OPTIONS WITH WITH, UM WITH PREEMPTION POLICY BECAUSE SOME CITIES MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO DO BUSINESS FINANCIALLY, IF THAT CONTINUES, UM, SO THEY GO INTO ANOTHER ANOTHER BILL THAT FAILED THIS YEAR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT FUNDING. THIS ONE AGAIN SPEAKS TO JUST HOW SOME SOME GOVERNMENTS, INCLUDING OUR OWN, JUST GENERALLY DO BUSINESS AND BALANCE THEIR BUDGET AND, UH IT WOULD HAVE PROHIBITED CITIES WHO USE LIKE THEIR ENTERPRISE ACCOUNTS. AND UM, YOU KNOW, STORMWATER MANAGEMENT, FOR EXAMPLE, THOSE FUNDS TO OFFSET OTHER COSTS IN THEIR IN THEIR GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTING, SO YOU WOULD HAVE LITERALLY HAD TO KEEP THIS THIS BUCKET IN ONE PLACE AND SPEND IT ONLY THERE. WE'VE SEEN THAT. UH WITH DEVELOPMENT WITH BUILDING OFFICIAL BUILDING DEPARTMENT, YOU KNOW, IMPACT FEES ONLY GOING. YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THEY'RE KIND OF PUTTING IT INTO THEIR OWN LITTLE BOXES AND SAYING YOU CAN ONLY APPROPRIATE FOR THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE IS SO THEY'RE KIND OF GOING THAT DIRECTION WITH THIS AND THEY DIDN'T THEY DIDN'T GO COMPLETELY, UH, PREVENTATIVE ON WHAT GOVERNMENTS CAN DO. WHAT THEY SIMPLY SAID, IS THAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK FOR STATE FUNDING EVER IN THE FUTURE CITIES THAT OPERATE IN THIS FASHION LIKE THE CITY OF EUROPE, THIS IS A COMMON OPERATION FOR MANY MUNICIPALITIES. YOU WOULD NOT HAVE ALL THOSE GRANT DOLLARS THAT WE'VE RECEIVED FROM THE STATE FROM DP. HAVE A QUESTION ACTUALLY COMES FROM WHAT THE QUESTION WAS COMMENT, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT THAT WE BALANCE OUR BUDGET WITH THE ENTERPRISE FUNDS. WE YOU KNOW THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HR DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS, UH, DO WORK IN THE YOU KNOW, DO THINGS FOR THE ENTERPRISE FUNDS, AND SO THEREFORE WE HAVE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS WHAT THE FORMULA IS.

WE HAVE A FORMULA BELIEVE IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY THAT WE TAKE A LITTLE BIT FROM EACH ONE OF THOSE ENTERPRISE WANTS TO PAY FOR THEIR SHARE OF HR. UM, BUT YOU KNOW, IT SEEMS TO ME IF IT GETS TO A POINT WHERE EVERYTHING HAS TO STAY IN THE ENTERPRISE FUND OR COSTS ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO GO UP BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HIRE AN HR PERSON EARNING HAVE AN HR PERSON FOR THE, UH, FOR THE UNDER EACH ENTERPRISE FUND. WE HAVE TO HAVE IT OUTSIDE AIR AND A LEGAL COUNSEL OR WHATEVER IT IS, YOU KNOW, EVER ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS. EVERYTHING. YEAH THANKS FOR CLARIFYING THAT. I APPRECIATE THAT. YEAH IT'S SORT OF AN OVERHEAD COSTS, BUT I MEAN , THIS IS AGAIN A GENERAL OPERATION OF GOVERNMENT THAT MANY MUNICIPALITIES DO AND THE FACT THAT THEY'RE EVEN ATTACKING THAT, UM, WAS CONCERNING SO THIS BILL DIED COMPLETELY COMMITTEE, THANKFULLY. AND SO THERE WASN'T A FOUR VOTE, AND THAT'S WHY, UM, AT THE BOTTOM THERE, THERE ISN'T ANY, UH, VOTE HISTORY THERE AS WELL. AND I JUST I'M NOT. THAT'S WHY I'M NOT GOING THROUGH EVERY BILL TONIGHT. BUT I DID WANT TO MENTION A COUPLE OF BILLS MORE BILLS THAT CAME UP SP 25 OH, EIGHT. THIS WAS A UNIQUE BILL BECAUSE OF THE MANNER IN WHICH IT WAS INTRODUCED, UM YOU KNOW, SOME BELIEVE THAT THAT PERHAPS UNLAWFULLY, BUT IT WAS INTRODUCED AS A PROVISO BILL, WHICH MEANS THAT IT WAS INTRODUCED AS A BUDGET. UM, A BUDGET ITEM IN SO IT DIDN'T GO THROUGH THE NORMAL COMMITTEE PROCESSES A PROVISO ESSENTIALLY BECAUSE IT'S SUPPOSED TO ONLY IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO SPEAK TO POLICY IS SUPPOSED TO SPEAK TO HOW THE GOVERNOR EXECUTIVE POLICY GROUPS, ALL IN THE AGENCY'S ALL SPEND MONEY THAT IS ALLOCATED BY THE LEGISLATURE, AND BECAUSE IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO ADDRESS POLICY. THOSE HAVE A DIFFERENT VOTING PROCESS, AND THEY GO STRAIGHT TO THE TO THE BUDGET CONFERENCE TO THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE AND THEN THE GOVERNOR. DOESN'T EVEN GET VETO ON THIS OTHER THAN LYING ITEMS WOULD HAVE TO LINE ITEM ANYTHING THAT THIS BILL ANY FINANCIAL AID IN THIS BILL'S RELATION TO IT WAS BROUGHT FORTH AND I BELIEVE IT WAS IN FACT VETOED BY THE END BECAUSE IT WAS HEAVILY AMENDED. WE EVEN THE

[00:45:04]

IF ANYTHING, IT WOULD HAVE TIED THE HANDS OF STATE AGENCIES FROM BEING ABLE TO COME UP WITH A SCIENTIFIC OPINION. UH ADVERSARIAL TO THAT. SO JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. THE PET PROTECTION PUPPY MILL BILL. UM, WHICH DIDN'T DO SO MUCH ACTUAL PROTECTION OF PETS WAS WAS DRAFTED. IT WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS, AND IT WAS QUICKLY DEFEATED. UM AND WHAT WE SAW WAS THAT A LOT OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS BEGAN AS SOON AS THIS CAME OUT, BEGAN. KIND OF JUMPING TO PUT ON THE BOOK, SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY, UH, LIMITS THESE PUPPY MILLS AND THESE HORRIBLE CONDITIONS FOR PETS BEFORE THIS PAST, THANKFULLY, IT WAS DEFEATED. UM BUT IT'S SOMETHING WE COULD SEE AGAIN. AND ESSENTIALLY WHAT IT DID. WAS IT PUT INTO LAW PROTECTIONS FOR ACTUAL PUPPY MILLS, OR OR BUSINESSES THAT, UM YOU KNOW, DEAL WITH CUSTOMERS. THAT ARE BRINGING IN, YOU KNOW, ALL SORTS OF BREEDS OF ANIMALS AND THEN PUTTING THEM IN IN TOUGH CONDITIONS IN WHICH TO SURVIVE, AND YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF EMACIATION A LOT OF OTHER CONCERNS, SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT I CONSIDER FOR THE FUTURE. UM, OUR ORDINANCE, I BELIEVE CAME FROM THE MARTIN COUNTY SO IT'S AT THE COUNTY LEVEL, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT RELATIVELY NEW THAT CAME FROM THIS YEAR VACATION RENTAL BILLS WE SAW AGAIN. UM UNFORTUNATELY, THERE WERE BILLS THAT WOULD HAVE PROVIDED MORE MONEY FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FOR EVIE, CHARGING THAT DIDN'T PASS. UM BUT THAT MIGHT NOT BE AS SUCH A NEGATIVE BEFORE THE FEDERAL MONEY IS COMING IN. AND THE STATE HAS A PLAN. UH, SAME THING WITH THE REGULATION OF SINGLE USE, PLASTICS AND SEAGRASS MITIGATION BANK BILL. NOT GOING TO GO INTO SUPER DETAIL ABOUT THIS, BUT IT WAS WITHDRAWN FROM CONSIDERATION AND WE APPRECIATE ALL THE ADVOCACY GROUPS IN OUR AREA FOR HELPING US, UM UH, MAKE SURE THAT THAT BILL DIDN'T GET THROUGH SO AS FAR AS BILLS THAT PASSED. THIS IS WHAT WILL ACTUALLY AFFECT US, UH SIMPLE, ONE REGULATION OF SMOKING BY LOCAL GOVERNMENT. IT JUST EXPANDS CITIES AND COUNTIES ABILITY TO REGULARLY SMOKING ON BEACHES OR IN PUBLIC PARKS. UH I THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING, BUT WE HAD TO PUT THIS IN HERE BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THEY DID EXEMPT WAS UNFILTERED CIGARS. SO DRAW WHATEVER CONCLUSIONS YOU MAY ON THAT ONE LIE CIGARS, BUT NOT CIGARETTES. UH AND BECAUSE THE SENATE SPONSOR LIKE SMOKING CIGARS TOLD ME THAT I WASN'T GONNA COMMENT ON ARISTOCRACY OR BOURGEOISIE OR ANY OF THOSE YOU KNOW TO JOKE AROUND, BUT, YEAH, CIGARS WERE KIND OF, UM CIGARS WERE EXEMPTED, AND IT WAS LITERALLY BECAUSE, AS COMMISSIONER MEYER SAID, ONE OF THE ELECTED OFFICIALS JUST LIKE SMOKING CIGARS, WANTS TO GO ON THE PARK AND DO THAT, SO. UM YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP NOW. PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS TREES. THIS WAS A CORRECTION BILL SO TWO YEARS AGO, UNFORTUNATELY, THE LEGISLATURE MADE IT IMPERFECT BILL AND IT COMPLETELY PREEMPTED CITIES FROM BEING ABLE TO REGULATE THE CUTTING DOWN OF TREES IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, AND COMMISSIONER MAYER KNOWS THIS ONE. PROBABLY VERY CLOSELY HAVING SEEN IT TWO YEARS AGO WHEN IT WHEN IT CAME BACK AS A CORRECTION BILL. THE SOLUTION WAS SIMPLE. IT WAS YOU NEED TO HAVE RESIDENTIAL HOMEOWNERS, AND IT'S ONLY APPLIES THE RESIDENTIAL HOMEOWNERS THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO DOCUMENT THAT THE TREE PRESENTS AN UNACCEPTABLE RISK. WHAT IS AN ACCEPTABLE RISK? WELL, THERE'S A WHOLE MATRIX THAT THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF AGRICULTURE USES AS PART OF THEIR BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES. THE MATRIX IS ACTUALLY REALLY SIMPLE, BUT IT'S COMPLETELY INTUITIVE. UM AND SO THEY CALCULATE RISK IF THE RISK IS LIKE I SAID IN UNACCEPTABLE RISK, NOT THAT IT JUST PRESENTS A DANGER, BUT IT'S AN UNACCEPTABLE RISK, THEN THAT'S WHEN THE YOU KNOW THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT. THE CITY CAN CAN PROHIBIT THAT FROM, ACTUALLY. OR I SHOULD SAY, CANNOT PROHIBIT THE RESIDENT FROM CUTTING DOWN THAT TREE. SO UH, THAT ONE WAS A CORRECTION BILL. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT ALWAYS HAPPY TO ANSWER. LOCAL TAX REFERENDA.

THIS JUST MADE IT SO THAT WE CAN'T HAVE TAX RELATED REFERENDA ON ANY OTHER ELECTION EXCEPT FOR THE GENERAL ELECTION IN NOVEMBER. SO THERE'S NO MORE AUGUST TAX REFERENDA ON ON CITY . UM ELECTIONS. THIS HAS TO HAPPEN IN NOVEMBER IN THIS PAST. CAMPAIGN FINANCING THE NOT GONNA SO MUCH FOCUS ON CAMPAIGN FINANCING. IS THAT WHAT THE BILL WAS CALLED? BUT, UM, THIS AGAIN

[00:50:05]

WE CAN MOVE ON. THAT'S AH. THE CLEANUP OF WELL, THIS ONE IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO CONTAMINATIONS IN GENERAL, UM WITH THE PFS. I'M GOING TO BE CAREFUL WHAT I SAY HERE ALONE BECAUSE WE HAVE LITIGATION IN PLACE, BUT UM ORIGINALLY AND I, AND THIS IS WHAT I'M SAYING UP HERE ABOUT THE TASK FORCE BILL. ORIGINALLY THERE WAS A S TASK FORCE BILL THAT WAS FILED. IT DIDN'T GO FAR. THIS EVENTUALLY TOOK ITS PLACE. THE TASK FORCE BILL WOULD HAVE UM, PROBABLY BEEN MORE APPROPRIATE FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A SAY IN THIS PROCESS. BUT THIS

[00:55:04]

AND BASICALLY. BETWEEN THE TWO A LOT OF SOFTWARE ISSUES WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND THE STATE AGENCIES ARE NOW PREEMPTED FROM, UM PUBLIC RECORDS. AND THAT INCLUDES MEETINGS THAT INVOLVE ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT SOFTWARE OR SYSTEMS THAT THOSE AGENCIES USE . AND IT'S YEAH, IT'S A IT'S A NATIONAL SECURITY THING, BUT WHAT IT DOES ALSO IS IT PROVIDES TRAINING REQUIREMENTS AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF REPORTING STANDARDS BETWEEN LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AS SUBDIVISIONS TO THE STATE WHEN AN INCIDENT OCCURS, AND KIND OF LIKE THAT, UM, YOU KNOW THE LOCAL WE'VE HEARD OVER THE YEARS OF NOT NEGOTIATING WITH TERRORISTS. WELL, IN THIS CASE, WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR RANSOMS TO, UM TO ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE COMMITTED. WHATEVER KIND OF CRIME AGAINST THE CITY OR LOCKDOWN. UM YOU KNOW SYSTEMS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY THOSE RANSOM AND ANYMORE, SO THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL IS. AND THEN THE SECOND BILL HAD TO DEAL SPECIFICALLY WITH THE PUBLIC RECORDS EXEMPTIONS, AND THAT INCLUDES I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. WHENEVER MR MORTALITY ATTORNEY HAS TO HAVE ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGE TYPE MEETINGS WITH YOU ON, YOU KNOW WHAT A GATIEN OR WHATEVER ELSE AND IN THIS SITUATION IF THERE'S ANYTHING TO DEAL WITH, LIKE NETWORK SCHEMATICS OR CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE HARDWARE SOFTWARE , ANYTHING RELATED TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. UM THAT WOULD ALSO BE EXEMPT FROM THE PUBLIC MEETING REQUIREMENTS. IT WOULD BE SOMETHING YOU WOULD DO BEHIND CLOSED DOORS AS WELL. SO THAT'S AN EXEMPTION FOR THAT FOR THE PUBLIC MEETINGS, UM WOW, THAT WAS COVERED IN THIS BOTH OF THESE PAST. PRETTY OVERWHELMINGLY, UM, AND IT'S SOMETHING JUST TO CONSIDER. AND THEN I'M SKIPPING SPECIAL SESSION D BECAUSE IT DOESN'T REALLY RELATE TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT SO MUCH BUT SPECIAL SESSION D. IT'S SOMETHING JUST TO CONSIDER MOVING FORWARD

[01:00:02]

AND UM, THE STATE HAS TRIED TO MITIGATE IT WITH WITH SPECIAL SESSION. SOME SAY IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT TOO LITTLE TOO LATE TO PREVENT SOME OF THE IMPACTS. SO THERE'S DISCUSSION ON CITIZENS PROPERTY CITIZENS INSURANCE THROUGH THE STATE OF PUBLIC SYSTEM TO KIND OF FILL IN THE GAPS, THE VOID OF WHAT'S COMING. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT NEW MANDATORY STRUCTURAL MILESTONE INSPECTIONS FOR CONDOMINIUMS AND COOPERATIVE BUILDINGS WERE PASSED IN THIS BILL OR DURING SESSION AS WELL. SO THEY CREATE A 30 YEAR MILESTONE. SO 30 YEAR INSPECTION AND THEN YOU HAVE TO DO ONE EVERY 10 YEARS. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S REQUIRED, UM AND THESE HAVE TO BE AGAIN. HERE'S THE PART OF THE ACCOUNTABILITY ENGINEERS OR ARCHITECTS THAT COMPLETE BUILDING INSPECTIONS MUST DELIVER A SIGNED AND SEALED COPY, INCLUDING MATERIAL FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIAL AND PROPERTY ASSOCIATION. SO OUR LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIAL WOULD BE INFORMED OF THOSE INSPECTIONS AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO FILE THEM WITH US AS WELL. AND, OF COURSE, TIMELINES FROM LOCAL ENFORCEMENT FOR PENALTIES FOR LACK OF REPAIR, AND ALL THAT. UM, BUT THAT'S EVERYTHING FOR THE 2022 SESSIONS AND HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, BEN. WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER. 34,000 BILLS. ANYTHING POSITIVE ? AH, THERE WERE SOME POSITIVE ONE. I WOULD SAY. NEXT I GET ANOTHER SLIDE THERE. THANK YOU FOR THE DETAILED RECAP. WHAT OUR STATE LEGISLATORS BEEN WORKING ON. UM, ON THE BRIGHT SIDE AS YOU TOUCHED ON EARLIER, WE GOT TWO AND A QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS. UM SO WE HAVE TO BE THANKFUL WATER. FOR THAT? YES. UM AND. MOVING ON. AND DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR HOGARTH JOB? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. COMMISSIONER APPRECIATE IT. APPRECIATE IT.

THANKS. NO, I'LL OPEN IT UP TO COMMENTS BY OUR CITY COMMISSIONERS. IT'S THE END OF

[COMMENTS BY CITY COMMISSIONERS]

EVERY I THINK LIKE EVERY TWO MONTHS, THIS LITTER REALTOR IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD SINCE HIS MILLER AT EVERY TWO MONTHS, AND I JUST I JUST GOT A LAUGH OUT OF THIS ONE. I WANT TO SEE WHICH WAS THE LARGEST, UH, CELL, WHICH WAS FIVE MILLION AT SEMINOLE STREET , SOUTHEAST SEMINAL STREET CONDO HOTEL. 18 BATHS IN IT. SO UM, I HAVE BEEN WONDERING WELL, MR POST HAS BEEN GOOD. ANYWAY I THOUGHT THAT WAS IT WAS CUTE, FUNNY. I WONDER WHERE HE IS WITH THAT? SEBASTIAN ZONE ISLAND, NORTH CAROLINA, NORTH CAROLINA AND SEBASTIAN. ANOTHER THING, UM ARE FIRE CHIEF AND THAT FIRE THAT WAS REALLY SCARY AND WINDERMERE NEIGHBORHOOD. THANK YOU FOR THAT WASN'T LISTENING.

TRYING TO GIVE YOU A COMPLIMENT? YES. FELICIANO. THANK YOU, OR YOU COULD COME IN THE ROOM AND OUR POLICE CHIEF. ALSO HE, UH HAD A GATHERING OVER IT. OCEAN POINT AND THEN THE CROSSINGS. I DIDN'T GO TO THAT ONE. BUT IT'S SO NICE OF YOU TO DO THAT. I MEAN, THERE WAS MUSIC, THE KIDS , THE PEOPLE, ALL AGES, UH, INTERTWINING AND YOUR YOUR OFFICES THERE AND IN THEIR UNIFORMS, AND IT WAS JUST WONDERFUL. I WENT AND TOOK A FRIEND AND OUR CITY JUST DOES SO MUCH. I WISH PEOPLE NEW AND REALIZED BUT ANYWAY YEAH. TRYING TO TAKE OVER. OH THANKS FOR YOUR HELP IN HERE, BUT ANYWAY, OKAY, THAT'S IT. THE NEXT. SO I'M GLAD THAT THE, UM THE THEY MARINE RESOURCES COUNCIL TALKED ABOUT THE LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE WE'VE HAD THESE VERY HOT SUMMER DAYS AND I WAS WONDERING WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THE TREES . I THINK WE'VE PLANTED 15 TREES. OVER IN THE EAST TO INDIA FROM THAT PROGRAM WAS THE 15 OR 20 LIVE. 14. OKAY, SO I JUST WONDERING, I KNOW WE HAVE THE 90 DAYS WHERE WE GAVE THEM WATER. IF WE'VE BEEN CHECKING ON THOSE STREETS AND SEE WHAT THE STATUS OF THEM IS FOR THIS SUMMER, IF THEY'RE MAKING IT THROUGH THE SUMMER AND HOW THINGS ARE GOING , I JUST WANTED TO ASK IF WE COULD CHECK ON THAT ALSO WANTED TO CHECK ON THE STATUS OF THE CITY. WITH REGARD TO COVID IF WE'VE GOTTEN BACK INTO TOUCH

[01:05:05]

UM UH, PERVIOUS, UH, ASPHALT FOR THE TOP TWO INCHES SO THAT WATER DRAINS OFF THE ROAD TO STAY DRIER. BUT THERE WAS A COMMON THEME AS WE WENT FROM ONE LAB TO THE NEXT WHEN WE GOT WE GOT INTO FOR THE LAB WHERE THEY TEST US STEEL, FOR EXAMPLE, THE CORROSION OF STEEL, REBAR AND CABLES. THEN WE WENT ON TO ONE WORD. THEY TEST EROSION FROM SALT AND CORROSION AND LAB. THE LAB. THE LAB, THE LAB, THERE WAS ONE AGAIN COMMON FEATURE THAT FEATURED STEWART AND THAT WAS PICTURES OF THE ROOSEVELT BRIDGE. AND AS I WAS GOING THROUGH THE LABS, THEY HAD NOT ONLY PICTURES OF OUR BRIDGE AND THE INSIDE AND OUT THERE WAS PIECES OF OUR BRIDGE PIECES OF WHERE THE CABLES THAT THEY TOOK OUT THEY DID TESTING. UM SO I FINALLY I BROUGHT IT UP WITH OUR WITH OUR GROUP GIVING THE TOUR AND THERE IN EVERYBODY IN THE STATE MATERIALS LAB IS VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE ROOSEVELT BRIDGE. AND THE GOOD NEWS IS, UM THEY REALLY WORKED HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SOLUTION NOT ONLY THAT THERE WAS A SOLUTION TO RESOLVE THE BRIDGE, AND THAT WAS REALLY THE ENGINEERS. BUT ON THE MATERIAL SCIENCE SIDE WAS TO MAKE SURE IT DIDN'T. WE DIDN'T HAVE THIS FUTURE PROBLEM AND BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED HERE IN STUART BECAUSE OF THE WORK OF THE MATERIAL SCIENCE LAB. ALL OF THE BRIDGES IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA ARE PROBABLY GOING TO BE SAFER. BUT IT WAS. IT WAS FASCINATING. UM YOU KNOW, I THERE WAS A ONE OF THE MEMBER.

WAS HE EXCITED ABOUT STONES, LITTLE DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT ROCKS. I GUESS EVERYBODY HAS SOMETHING THERE. BUT AH, BUT THEY ALSO THE WHAT THE STATE THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT THAT THE STATE DOES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE SAFE ROADS AND BRIDGES IN OUR AMAZING THEY HAVE FOUR SPECIAL TRUCKS THAT HAVE, UH, SERIES OF CAMERAS AND LASERS AND THE 20,000 MILES OF STATE HIGHWAY.

THEY MAP ONCE A YEAR. TAKE SOME TAKE THEM ABOUT 10 MONTHS TO DO IT AND THEY LITERALLY MAPPED EVERY CRACK CREVICE AND THE WEAR FROM WHERE THE TIRE SURFACES ON THE ROAD TO KEEP TRACK OF, WHEN THE BEST TIME IS THE RESURFACE THESE ROADS TO GET THE OPTIMUM, UM VALUE OUT OF EVERYTHING THAT THEY'RE DOING, SO THEY'RE NOT DOING IT TOO SOON AND SPENDING MONEY WHEN THEY DON'T NEED TO.

BUT THEY'RE ALSO NOT WAITING TOO LONG, EITHER, SO AND THEY BECOME HAZARDS. SO UM, IT WAS FASCINATING. AND SO I THINK IT WAS SOMETHING THAT AS WE GO THROUGH WITH ESPECIALLY AT THE MPO AND DEAL WITH ROAD PROJECTS, IT'S GOING TO BE A USEFUL PIECE OF INFORMATION. SO VERY INTERESTED. YOU BRING THE PIECES BACK SO WE CAN PUT THEM BACK ON THE BRIDGE. THEY HAD THEY ACTUALLY HAD ONE. I GOT PICTURES OF SOME OF THE CABLES AND CASE TO END THE GROUT. THEY ACTUALLY HAVING A DISPLAY CASE SO HE HAS TO STATE REACTED INCREDIBLY FAST FOR THAT. TERRIFYING SITUATION.

ANYWAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. UM I WANTED TO THANK OUR OFFICERS TO AS WELL AS SOME OF THE FIRED THE APARTMENT THAT THAT SHOWED UP TO THE COUPLE OF NATIONAL NIGHT OUT EVENTS. THAT WERE HELD OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS. UM AND. AS YOU GUYS KNOW , I'M VERY THANKFUL THAT DR SOTO CAME AND TOUCHED ON THE L I. D. AND I ENCOURAGE. EVERYONE TO GO . UM, COMMISSIONERS IN THE FUTURE. IT'S VERY BENEFICIAL AND I ENCOURAGE US INTO WE HAVE THOSE UPDATES DONE IN OUR CODE TO THINK ABOUT L I D AS CONDITIONS FOR ANY PROJECTS COMING FORWARD. UM MR. I DON'T.

I GOT A COUPLE MORE THINGS SOMETHING HAPPENED. AND I WANT TO THANK A PERSON, A RESIDENT.

WHO'S BEEN BRINGING AWARENESS TO THIS, UM YOU KNOW, ALL OVER THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND A FEW WEEKS AGO SOMETHING CHANGED AND THAT PERSON IT'S HIS NAME IS MIKE KNEPPER. I'VE MET WITH HIM A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND HE'S BEEN HIGHLIGHTING THE USE OF HERBICIDES ALL OVER THE STATE.

AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN NO STATE AGENCIES. FOR EXAMPLE, THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT OR FW, CEO OR ETCETERA, ETCETERA, GO AND TO CONTROL AQUATIC VEGETATION SPRAY HERBICIDES. UH UM. BUT HE CHANGED SOMETHING. ABOUT A WEEK OR SO AGO. MAYBE NOT EVEN THAT. THERE WAS A LARGE HERBICIDE SPRAY ON THE C 23 CANAL, WHICH FLOWS INTO OUR NORTH FORK OF OUR ST LUCIE RIVER. HISTORICALLY. YOU KNOW, I'M TALKING ROUGHLY MILES OR SO. OF DATA AQUATIC VEGETATION FLOATING ON THE SURFACE. HISTORICALLY, THAT WOULD HAVE JUST DIED. DOWN AT THE BOTTOM DECAYED AND TURNED INTO LEGACY MUG. AND EVENTUALLY, THOSE NUTRIENTS WOULD HAVE FLOWN DOWN INTO OUR NORTH FORK AND AROUND OUR LOCAL WATERS. UM BUT I WANTED TO THANK JACKIE THURLOW LIPIDS. SH FOR SEEING THAT. AND LISTENING AS WELL AS ALL THE OTHER GOVERNING BOARD MEMBERS OF SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. AND DREW BARTLETT, THEIR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. FOR HEARING, MR KNEPPER. AND THEIR AWARENESS HE RAISED AND AFTER THAT SPRAY HAPPENED, THE DISTRICT WENT OUT. AND MECHANICALLY REMOVED. TONS TONS. OF AQUATIC VEGETATION THAT WAS DEAD. AND PULLED THE NUTRIENTS THAT ARE TRAPPED IN THAT VEGETATION OUT OF THE C 23 CANAL , SO THAT IN THE FUTURE, IT WON'T TURN INTO LEGACY MUCK AND COME DOWN UPON US. THAT NEEDLE WAS SHIFTED SLIGHTLY BECAUSE OF AWARENESS. AND IT SAVED US KIND OF AN EMINENT. BLOW IN THE LONG TERM FUTURE OF A PROBLEM THAT WE AS A STATE HAVE BEEN HELP COMPOUNDING. UM ARE YOU THINKING OF SENDING HIM A LETTER OR SOMETHING? CAN WE DO THAT? OR IS IT? I HOPE HE'LL HEAR IT. I'M SURE I WILL TALK TO HIM IN THE FUTURE. UM, THIS WAS A THANK YOU AND I I'LL THANK HIM PERSONALLY, BUT YOU KNOW I JUST WANTED TO THANK HIM PUBLICLY HERE. MHM. IN MY COMMENTS AS MAYOR AND I'M

[01:15:10]

HELLO HISTORICAL AVERAGE NUMBERS , SO WE DO HAVE SOME CAPACITY AND I KNOW COMMISSIONER COCKY TALKED ABOUT. THE DRY SEASON AND AS PERTAINS TO THE TREE ORDINANCE, UM CITY MANAGER CAN BRING IT UP, BUT THAT ORDINANCE . THOSE TREES ARE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. WE MANAGE THEM FOR 90 DAYS. I DO HOPE THE MESSAGE GOT OUT CORRECTLY THAT YOU KNOW? THEY WILL BE CLOSE TO ESTABLISH, BUT WE ENCOURAGE RESIDENTS TO WATER THOSE TREES ON THEIR PROPERTY THAT THE CITY INSTALLED HELP AND HELPED MANAGE. ONCE THEY GET ESTABLISHED, THEY'LL BE ABLE. THEY'RE ALL NATIVE TREES TO GO THROUGH. YOU KNOW? DROUGHTS THAT WE HAVE OR WET SEASONS, BUT WE ENCOURAGE RESIDENTS TO WATER THOSE TREES IF THEY LOOK LIKE THEY NEED A LITTLE BIT OF WATER. UM AND OTHER THAN THAT. I'LL TURN IT OVER THE COMMENTS BY THE CITY MANAGER. MR MAYOR BEFORE YOU GO TO SANTA MONICA, CAN I JUST BRING UP SOMETHING WITH REGARD TO THE LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT? IS IT A TIME? OR MAYBE WE CAN ASK THE CITY MANAGER TO BRING BACK SOMETHING. TO REALLY ASK ABOUT LOOKING INTO THAT, UM, CODE ISSUE. TO SEE IF WE CAN WORK WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA TO HELP WANTED OR CODE OR DO SOMETHING. MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS, BUT I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT UP. WELL I MENTION IT IF THERE WAS NO OPPOSITION BY THE BOARD, UM I DON'T HAVE ANY OPPOSITION. I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA. I DO THINK WE SHOULD WAIT UNTIL WE GET A PERMANENT. DIRECTOR AND DIRECTOR ESTABLISHED AND, UH AND, UH, A STEP DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT BECAUSE WE DON'T NEED TO PUT ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS INSTANT BECAUSE THEY'VE GOT THEIR OVER, I THINK. WELL, IT'S OVERWORKED. ERIN IS OVERWHELMED RIGHT NOW.

AND I THINK THAT, UH I THINK THAT WE THERE'S SOMETHING WE SHOULD ABSOLUTELY DO. BUT LET'S LET'S GET LET'S NOT ADD ANOTHER LAYER OF WORK. AND THEY UNTIL WE'RE UNTIL WE CAN ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISH IT. THE UPCOMING CONFERENCE IS A LOT ABOUT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ADJUSTING THEIR CODE , SO THAT WILL BE GOOD TO ATTEND AS WELL PRIOR TO DOING IT, BUT I JUST THINK THAT AGAIN. I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. YOU KNOW WHAT? I REALLY WANT TO LOOK AT IT AS WE DO. OUR FIRES ARE PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS AS WELL, ESPECIALLY IN OUR PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS. BUT I JUST DO THINK WE SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL WE HAVE A FULLY STAFFED DEPARTMENT. SO NO , MA'AM. YES YOU MENTIONED JACKIE THURLOW OLYMPIC'S NAME AND, UH, PEOPLE THAT ARE JUST RECENTLY MOVED HERE OR ONLY BEEN HERE A COUPLE OF YEARS. IF YOU GO ON GOOGLE, JACKIE PARALYMPIC SH SO MUCH INFORMATION COMES UP ON FACEBOOK AND HER BLOG AND HEARD HER HUSBAND AND 2013. IT WAS REALLY BAD. UM. REALLY RALLIED IN HEAVEN'S STOPPED FIGHTING FOR THE RIVER. HER HUSBAND DROVE THE YELLOW PLANE ALL OVER INTO PRO TOES. AND HE'S BEEN TAKING HIM FROM 32,013 TILL TODAY. AND YOU WILL SEE ALL THAT AND GUIDE YOU OF WHAT THE DUMPING HAS DONE TO OUR RIVER AND THE KNOWLEDGE AND THE SCIENCE. IS THERE JUST GOOGLE JACKIE THURLOW LIP ISH. GO AHEAD AND EVERYBODY HAD HER LOCAL REP FOR THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT GOVERNING BOARD. SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT TEACH YOU SO MUCH. IT'S UP TO DATE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE NEW HERE. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND FRESH BACK. AND READY TO GO FROM GEORGIA. I WILL TURN IT OVER TO OUR CITY MANAGER HAD TO BRING

[COMMENTS BY CITY MANAGER]

[01:20:01]

WOULD WE BE ON THE AUGUST 2030 AGENDA? WHEN I SPOKE TO THE ATTORNEY ON THURSDAY. HE SAID HE WASN'T SURE BUT IT LOOKED LIKE WE WERE GOING TO BE ON THE AGENDA ON AUGUST 23RD. I AM. AND IN RESPONDING TO THE OPA. I HAD CONSULTED WITH A AN ATTORNEY IN TALLAHASSEE, UM, TO KIND OF HELP ME WALK THROUGH THE ROAD MAP OF FIRST, YOU KNOW, FOLLOWING THIS KIND OF PROCESS. AND, UM. IT LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW WE'RE GOING TO BE ON THE AUGUST 23RD. AGENDA WILL LIKELY IF WE GET ON THE AGENDA WILL LIKELY MISS THE AUGUST 22ND MEETING BECAUSE I'LL HAVE TO GO UP THERE. IF IT'S AT NINE IN THE MORNING. I DON'T WANT TO START TRAVELING ON THE 23RD AND KEEP, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE I'LL GET THERE SO I WOULD GO UP ON THE 22ND. MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE CABINET MEETINGS IN THE PAST IS THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER AGENDA ITEMS ON THE AGENDA. THE CITY OF STEWART'S MATTER IF IT LASTED MORE THAN 30 MINUTES, I WOULD BE SHOCKED. UM AND THEN WHEN IT'S OVER, I'M NOT SURE HOW LONG THEY HAVE TO RULE. THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE HEARING SOMETHING PROBABLY BY MIDDLE OF SEPTEMBER LATE SEPTEMBER AT THE LATEST. AS I MENTIONED TO THE ALPA. THERE'S POTENTIAL OUTCOMES OF ONE. IF MISS CARTWRIGHTS UH, POSITION PREVAILED. THEN THE CABINET WOULD IDENTIFY. ANY.

THING THAT CITY MAY HAVE MISSED LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE CITY FORGOT TO SAY HOW MANY ACRES THE

[01:25:01]

AGAIN ON WHATEVER THE FUTURE LAND USE IS NOT ON THE ZONING PART, BUT ON THE FUTURE LAND USE PART AND THEN, UM, THE IF THE CITY PREVAILED. IT COULD EITHER ONE THEY COULD. THE CABINET COULD JUST. RULE THAT THE CITY PREVAILED AND IT'S DONE AND MOVE FORWARD. OR THE CABINET COULD RULE. THAT THE, UM. LJ OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE DID IN FACT, USE EVIDENCE THAT HAD BEEN PROFFERED THAT WAS NOT IN THE MIST NOT ADMITTED IN EVIDENCE. AND AS A RESULT IT COULD REMANDED BACK TO THE ADVENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE TO NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THE PROFFER TESTIMONY, ETCETERA. HOWEVER. THAT WOULD BE UNLIKELY. AND WE TALKED ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE FROM THE CITY'S PERSPECTIVE TO REMAND BACK. THE ONLY THING YOU COULD DO TO REMAND BACK WOULD BE GIVE THE CITY THE OPPORTUNITY TO PREVENT PRESENT THAT REBUTTAL EVIDENCE.

BUT THAT EVIDENCE HAS ALREADY BEEN RULED INADMISSIBLE, SO IT WOULD JUST BE ADDING ERROR TO ERROR BECAUSE IT WOULD BE THE CITY THEN PUTTING IN MORE INADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE FOR THE RULING, WHICH IT'S NOT REALLY MY GOAL. UM SO AS IT STANDS, WE'LL SEE HOW IT GOES. WHEN I GO UP THERE ON THE 22ND AND I'LL OBVIOUSLY SEND EVERYBODY AN EMAIL. IN CLOSING THE ORDER OR THE OR THE CALENDAR. AS SOON AS IT COMES. I KNOW THAT THEIR STAFF MEETING IS ON THE 17TH. SO I'M ASSUMING THAT THE STAFF HAS TO BE PREPARED FOR THEIR STAFF MEETING ON THE 17TH, SO THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO NEED TO KNOW NO LATER THAN THE 14TH PROBABLY. SO THAT WOULD BE THE LATEST.

I'LL IDENTIFY THE LET YOU KNOW IF WE'RE ON THE AGENDA FOR THE 23RD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE. UM, THANK YOU. YOU'RE STILL CONSULTING WITH THE OUTSIDE COUNSEL. AND TO SOME EXTENT, YES. AND IF I GO IF I GO UP ON THE 22ND IF I LEFT EARLY IN THE MORNING UM AND I WERE THERE EARLY ENOUGH. I MIGHT MEET WITH HER THAT AFTERNOON AS WELL JUST TO GO OVER SOME STUFF AND ASK QUESTIONS I'VE DEVELOPED SINCE THEN. UM, BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT. MIKE OUTSIDE COUNSELOR IS USING THEM FOR PROCEDURAL TO HIRE. A LAWYER TO REPRESENT THE CITY. WOULD REQUIRE A RESOLUTION IN THE COMMISSION ACTION, RIGHT ? SO YOU'RE JUST USING THEM AS CONSULTANTS, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU'VE NEVER DONE THIS TYPE OF THIS TYPE OF CASE BEFORE LIMITED , JUST HELPING ME ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS. OKAY GREAT. THANK YOU , MR MACKINNON. ASK ONE MORE QUESTION. SORRY. I JUST WAS GOING TO ASK THE CITY MANAGER AND HE HAS BEEN AWAY. OR OR CITY ATTORNEY. THE STATUS OF THE $90,000 THAT WE HAD GIVEN FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE DEBRIS AND THE EPIC TALE OF PROPERTY. SO I'M SURE YOU'VE SEEN THAT THE CONSCIENCE OF WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED. I'M NOT SURE IF HE SUBMITTED TO INVOICE FOR THE SECOND PORTION YET I'M GETTING A HEAD TO TAKE NO SO WELL, BUT THE WORK IS SATISFACTORILY COMPLETED. YEAH. SO ONCE THAT'S DONE, HE'LL PROBABLY SUBMIT INVOICE FOR THE SECOND PORTION OF THAT, AND THEN WE'LL SUBMIT THE FUNDS. THANK YOU TIMEFRAME FOR THEM TO BRING IN THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN. IT COULD BE CLEARED AND JUST STAY. YES FOR SOME TIME JUST TO BRING IT UP TO CODE. NUISANCE OR HAZARD, AND THERE WAS A LIEN PUT AGAINST THE PROPERTY FOR THAT AMOUNT. YES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WE HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL. THE AGENDA

[01:30:02]

CAPACITY FOR THESE DEVELOPMENTS. HE STILL GETS A TURN IN THE SMALLER NUMBER. SO IMPACT FEES, THOSE LITTLE THINGS THAT HELP FUND POLICE FIRE ROADS, WATER. OKAY? NOT ONLY IS THE DEVELOPER ALLOWED TO DO THINGS THAT FAST MAJORITY OF CITY OF STEWART DOES NOT WANT OKAY ON ONE HAND. ON THE OTHER. WE'RE GETTING HOSE ON THE IMPACT FEES. SO I JUST REALLY WONDER WHO THIS COMMISSION REPRESENTS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER PUBLIC? NEXT? I HAVE CAMPBELL RICH. GOOD EVENING. I THOUGHT THIS WAS GOING TO BE THE WORST NEWS BUT LEGISLATIVE UPDATE DIFFICULT TO SIT THROUGH, SO I'M HERE TO RAISE THE ALARM. BECAUSE WITH THE CITY IS DOING TO PROTECT THE HEALTH OF OUR WATERWAYS IS NOT WORKING.

CLEARLY. AND I'M REFERRING TO THIS ARTICLE IN THE TC PALM IT WAS YESTERDAY. FLORIDA HAS AN ADDRESS 87% OF CASK FOR RECOMMENDATIONS TO COMBAT THAT HELD YOU LG BLOOMS. 87% WHAT THEY'RE REFERRING TO IS THE REPORT FROM A TASK FORCE CREATED THREE YEARS AGO. A GOAL BY THE GOVERNOR. COMPRISED OF ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS AND SCIENTISTS, AND THEY MADE A SERIES OF RECOMMENDATIONS. AT AGE 68 WHAT I HAVE LEARNED IN DEALING WITH GOVERNMENTAL BODIES. SPECIFICALLY ON WATER ISSUES. IS THAT THEY LOVE TO STUDY. THEY LOVE TO MEET AND THEN TWO GREAT GRAND FANFARE, ISSUE REPORTS AND THEN DO NOTHING. AND THAT'S CLEARLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED HERE. THEY POINT OUT THAT BILLS WERE PASSED AS A RESULT OF THE TASK FORCE REPORT , AND THE LEGISLATURE HAS JUST IGNORED THEM. SO. IF WE DON'T REALIZE THAT WE ARE IN THE FIGHT

[01:35:08]

EVEN JUST REAL QUICK. UM, THIS IS REALLY FOR STAFF. UH, A MEMBER OF THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON MANAGEMENT BOARD. AND CITIES. ARE NOT REPORTING THEIR PROJECTS TO THE I. R. L C. THE I R. L C WOULD LOVE TO HEAR WHAT THE WHAT COMPLETELY PROJECTS AND HOW THEY AFFECT THE LAGOON. ANY ST LUCIE RIVER FOR US. AND IT DOESN'T EVEN MEAN WHETHER IT WAS FUNDED BY IRELAND. SO YOU'RE NOT IF WE COULD GET A BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF YOUR PROJECTS GOING BACK EVEN A COUPLE OF YEARS. THAT'S FINE.

BECAUSE WE'RE REALLY GETTING JUST 10 PROJECTS AND WE KNOW EVEN THE I R L C FUNDS MORE PROJECTS THAN THAT. SO IF WE CAN GET THAT THAT WOULD BE GREAT. WILL PUT IT UP ON THE WEBSITE AND WILL SHOW WHAT IS BEING DONE AND HOW IT'S AFFECTING THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON. THANK YOU.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WATER QUALITY PROJECTS, WATER QUALITY PROJECTS AND ALSO, UH, IF WE IF WE'RE PLANNING SEAGRASS, THEY WERE DOING A AH, ANYTHING LIKE THAT WE DID A GREAT PROJECT. UH WE FIND MONEY, I GUESS SHEPHERDS PARK SO IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE FUNDED BY RL DOES NOT HAVE TO BE FUNDED BY RLC. ANYTHING IN THE MAP. MR MAYOR NEXT DAY. HAVE SOMEONE ELSE DO NEXT DAY OF CHRISTOPHER COLLINS. GOOD AFTERNOON. GOOD AFTERNOON, SO I THOUGHT THAT PRESENTATION FROM DR LISA WAS AMAZING. THAT REALLY GOT ME STUFFED UP. I WAS VERY, UM. IT SEEMED LIKE THERE WAS A HUGE ECONOMY BETWEEN SORT OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN APPROVING IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS AND THEN SORT OF WHAT SHE WAS PRESENTING. I REALLY APPRECIATED THAT SLIDE OF THE GREEN BEFORE ALL OF THAT OVER DEVELOPMENT. SO JUST AS A GENERAL DON'T KNOW STATEMENT FOR WHERE WE GO FROM HERE. I HOPE THAT WILL REALLY CONSIDER THAT YOU CANNOT BEAT. THE WAY THAT NATURE MANAGES WATER. AND AS SMART AS WE ARE, AS YOU KNOW, BRILLIANT ENGINEERS AS WE HAVE NO INSULT ANYBODY WHO'S BEEN INVOLVED WITH ANY OF THIS AT HIGHEST RESPECT. I'M A CHIROPRACTOR. I'M NOT AN ENGINEER, BUT THAT WE CAN REALLY APPRECIATE THAT THERE IS NO BETTER DRINK DRAINAGE THAN, UM WHAT GOD PROVIDES WHAT NATURE PROVIDES. SO GOING FORWARD WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE DENSITY OF WHAT GETS APPROVED IN THE CITY OF STEWART. THE AMOUNT OF CARS THE AMOUNT OF RUNOFF SOME OF THE TERMS THAT SHE USED. PET AND ANIMAL WASTE GROUNDWATER COMING BACK, YOU KNOW. WHAT IS. RUNNING OFF FROM URBAN AND RESIDENTIAL THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE OUT OF OUR CONTROL, WHICH ARE YOU KNOW WHAT IS COMING DOWN FROM ABOVE US, OBVIOUSLY WITH NUTRIENTS, BUT WE HAVE TO BE HONEST ABOUT THE DENSITY THAT WE ARE IMPROVING AND THE IMPLICATIONS THAT CAN HAVE FOR OUR ESTUARY.

AND YOU KNOW? JUST GOING FORWARD. I HOPE THAT WE CAN TRY TO KEEP MORE GREEN SPACE, WATER, SETBACKS AND LOW DENSITY ON WHAT WE'RE APPROVING. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I HAVE NO MORE PUBLIC COMMENTS, MANAGER JUST ADDRESS. ONE THING WAS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT MR MCCHRYSTAL BROUGHT IT UP ABOUT THE HALF UNITS STUFF, SO WE HAD MULTIPLE HOUSING WORKSHOPS. AT LEAST THREE, MAYBE FOUR AND PART OF THE, UM, DISCUSSIONS AND DIRECTIONS WAS ABOUT WANTING TO INCREASE

[01:40:01]

WE ATTEMPTED TO CREATE A NEW DEFINITION ATTAINABLE, WHICH WE DEFINED. WE TRIED TO DEFINE AS 80. I THINK IT WAS 80 TO 182 100 SO THAT WE COULD BE THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY SERVE PEOPLE WHO ARE MAKING REALISTIC WAGES IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND UNFORTUNATELY THE STATE KICK THAT BACK, SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CORRECTED THE RECORD THERE. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER MEYER.

ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT. I HAVE NO ONLINE. NO. COMMISSIONERS BEFORE US WE HAVE A CONSENT

[01:45:03]

I'M HERE WITH AN OPEN MIND. AND I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE APPLICANT. CITY STAFF RESIDENTS.

UH OKAY, MEMBERS. AND WATCH THE L P A. MEETING AND I'M HERE WITH AN OPEN MIND. MR MARTEL, WILL YOU PLEASE PLACE ANY POTENTIAL WITNESSES UNDER OATH? WE HAVE PLACED OUR MISS MOLLICA MARCEL IN THE BACK AS WELL. COULD YOU PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND? DO YOU SWEAR TO TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH OF YOUR GOD. LET THE RECORD REFLECT THAT TWO WITNESSES TESTIFIED AFFIRMATIVELY. AND IF YOU COULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD WHEN YOU TESTIFY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AND NOW I'LL TURN IT OVER TO MS WALL LIKA TO PROVIDE US WITH A BRIEF SUMMARY. OF THE TOPIC. HELLO GOOD EVENING , MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION ERIN WILLETT TO ACTING DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR FOR THE RECORD. THE INTENT OF THIS APPLICATION IS TO REQUEST APPROVAL FOR A MODIFICATION OF THE ORIGINALLY APPROVED TIMETABLE. DEVELOPMENT FOR THE CENTRAL PARK TWO CPU D AS SET FORTH IN ORDINANCE, 18 94-02. THE CENTRAL PARK TWO CPU D CONSISTS OF FIVE PARCELS WITHIN THE CPU, D. THE APPLICANT, UM OWNS LOT THREE. A LITTLE BIT OF PROJECT HISTORY FOR YOU ON THE CPU D WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED IN 1987 AND 2001 OF THE PARK. CENTRAL STEEP EU DE WAS SPLIT OFF INTO SEVEN COMMERCIAL LOTS, WHICH WOULD BE SUBSEQUENTLY KNOWN AS CENTRAL PARK. TWO CPU D IN 2002. THE MASTER SITE PLAN WAS REDUCED FURTHER BY TWO ACRES OF LAND AND INCLUDED FIVE LOTS WITHIN THE BEAUTY AND IN 2006 SPECIFIC TO LOT THREES AND MODIFICATIONS WERE MADE TO THE LANDSCAPE DESIGN STANDARDS. UM, SPECIFICALLY ORDINANCE 18 94-0 APPROVED A TIMETABLE OF DEVELOPMENT, WHICH WAS CONDITION OF APPROVAL NUMBER SIX. AH, THE TIMETABLE DEVELOPMENT WAS TO OBTAIN BUILDING PERMITS FOR LOTS ONE THROUGH FIVE NO LATER THAN DECEMBER, 31ST 2006 AND TO OBTAIN FINAL PLAT APPROVAL PRIOR TO JUNE 31ST 2004 UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE TIMETABLE OF DEVELOPMENT HAS EXPIRED. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING REVISIONS TO THE APPROVED TIMETABLE DEVELOPMENT. WHICH WOULD STATE THAT THE FIRST BUILDING PERMIT SHALL BE SUBMITTED NO LATER THAN AUGUST. 31ST 2027. A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY SHALL BE ISSUED FOR THE LAST BUILDING PERMIT NO LATER THAN AUGUST 31ST 2030.

FINAL PLAT APPROVAL FOR THE CENTRAL PARK TO PEUT MUST BE OBTAINED PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF A CEO AND SHALL BE RECORDED PRIOR TO THE TRANSFER OR RELEASE OF ANY UNITS. THIS LANGUAGE WAS SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT. SOME RELEVANT CONDITIONS THAT STAFF HAS PUT IN PLACE IS THAT PRIOR TO THE APPROVAL OF A SITE PLAN FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, THE OWNER SHALL SUBMIT A NEW TRAFFIC STUDY FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL PURSUANT TO SECTION FOUR POINT OH TWO POINT, OH, THREE OF THE CITY'S LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AND ALL OTHER APPLICABLE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL ASSOCIATED WITH THE PRIOR DEVELOPMENT ORDERS THAT WAS THAT WERE AFRO MEANT AFOREMENTIONED. NOT IN CONFLICT WITH THIS RESOLUTION SHALL REMAIN IN FULL EFFECT. SOME OF THOSE CONDITIONS APPROVAL, UM INCLUDE A SIDEWALK, UM, INCLUDE MAXIMUM IMPERVIOUS AREAS, SO ON AND SO FORTH THAT WOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH FUTURE SITE PLAN APPROVAL. SOME ANALYSIS THAT STAFF DID WAS THAT SECTION 11 OH, 1 10 C D THAT THE AMENDMENT TO AN ORIGINALLY APPROVED TIMETABLE DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE CONSIDERED A MINOR PEUT AMENDMENT. SUCH AMENDMENT MAY ONLY BE APPROVED UPON GOOD CAUSE SHOWN TO CITY COMMISSION ANY CONTRIBUTIONS CONDITIONED AS PART OF THE ORIGINAL PEUT AGREEMENT SHALL BE REVISITED UPON APPLICATION FOR TIMETABLE EXTENSION. THAT'S JUST A CODE SECTION TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF ANOTHER CODE EXCEPT ANOTHER CODE REQUIREMENT WAS WHAT I HAD STATED BEFORE, WHICH REQUIRES, UM, TRAFFIC STUDY. UH IF BUILDING PERMITS WERE NOT PURSUED BY THE ALLOWED TIME PERIOD. UM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE C P U. D A SITE PLAN WILL BE SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL PROVIDED THE REQUEST TO AMEND THE TIMETABLE IS APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION FOR THE CONDITIONS WITHIN THE CPU D. ANY SITE PLAN PROPOSAL EXCEEDING 50,000 SQUARE FEET SHALL BE APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION. UM I SAY. IT STATED THE SECOND BULLET POINT THERE.

THE THIRD IS, UM ALL OTHER LOTS WITHIN THE CPU D HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED. THIS VACANT SITE IS

[01:50:05]

THIS IS A RESOLUTION THAT HAD SOME CHANGES IN IT. IS IT IMPORTANT TO HAVE IT WITH A STRIKEOUT OR OKAY CHANGES THAT WERE PROVIDED GAVE US JUST BRIEF AND IT LIKE, FOR ONE THING IT.

THE RESOLUTION INCLUDED SPECIFIC ZONING THAT IT ALLOWED, BUT FOR CLARITY THOSE ZONING ITEMS WERE ALLOWED IN THE ORIGINAL P U D. BUT INSTEAD WE CHANGED IT TO REFLECT THAT IT'S ENTITLED TO WHAT WAS ALLOWED IN THE P U D DO THE SAME THINGS BUT MOVING FORWARD. WE WANTED TO BE CLEAR THAT IN THE EVENT YOU GUYS ARE TO CHANGE THIS ZONING SOMETIME ALONG THE WAY. THE P U D WOULDN'T CHANGE WHAT'S ALLOWED IN THE EU DE WOULD BE ALLOWED IN THE EU DE SO IT WAS STUFF LIKE THAT, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT IT STAYED WITHIN THE CONFINES. WHETHER YOU D WE CLARIFY THIS NEW COPY. HAVE NEW COPY. OKAY, BEFORE WE GO. TO THE APPLICANT. DO I HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BY COMMISSIONERS STAFF? I'LL OPEN IT UP, MR MAYOR. I'M SORRY I DO . ACTUALLY, IF I MAY ASK MISS WILLET, CA AND I'LL JUST SAY YOU MAY BE OVERWHELMED, BUT YOU LOOK WHELMED. AND YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU DON'T LOOK OVERWHELMED. UM CAN YOU JUST GIVE US A BRIEF? UM HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE OTHER, UM, SITES. PARCELS ON THIS, UM, LARGER BEAUTY. WHEN THEY WERE DO YOU HAVE THAT HANDY? DON'T LAST CEO WAS ISSUED. I KNOW RECENTLY THAT THE PARCEL JUST TO THE SOUTH OF LOTS THREE. THIS PIECE RIGHT HERE. TWO PERSONS SOUTH ALONG. RACEWAY RECENTLY GOT A CEO. HOLD ON. MY WIFE'S OFFICE IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. ONE RIGHT THERE BY AND RAISED WAY BY THE BY THE LIBERTY COACH WAS JUST JUST FINISHED. YES SO, UM, IF YOU CAN SEE, UM WELL, YOU CAN'T SEE IT TO LOTS SOUTH OF LOT. THREE UM, THE MORE NARROW PARCEL RECENTLY RECEIVED A CEO.

THANK YOU. MS KIMBLER, WOULD YOU LIKE TO. SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT. OKAY GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. MARCELA KIMBLER ON BEHALF OF MARCELA CAMPBELL, OR, UM, I APPRECIATE STAFFS. UM, WORK ON THIS. THIS IS A I DON'T HAVE A PRESENTATION. IT'S A TIMETABLE EXTENSION. I AM NOT REQUESTING ANY CHANGES WHATSOEVER TO THE ORIGINALLY APPROVED PUY DE OR CONDITIONS, THIS TYPE OF EXTENSION COULD HAVE BEEN, YOU KNOW, I HAD BEEN SENDING IN LETTERS EVERY TIME THE GOVERNOR ISSUED A EXECUTIVE ORDER AN EMERGENCY ORDER, I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE A 15 YEAR EXTENSION JUST AS OF RIGHT RIGHT NOW, AS WE KNOW THERE ARE MANY PROJECTS AND IN THE COUNTY THAT DO BUT ANYWAYS SIMPLE TIMETABLE EXTENSION ONCE, UM YOU KNOW, I BOUGHT THIS IN 2004 GOT A SITE PLAN APPROVED. GOTTA BUILDING APARTMENT APPROVED. THE DOWNTURN CAME AND JUST LEFT IT SITTING AND PAYING TAXES FOR 18 YEARS. EVENTUALLY I WANT TO GET INTO IT. AND SO I JUST NEED A LITTLE TIME AND I HOPE TO COME TO YOU. WITH A PROJECT THAT MEETS ALL THE CONDITIONS SOON. THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU. MR MARKETING TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS BETWEEN MISS CAMPBELL OR AND MR MORE TILL ON PAGE TWO, THEN GOING UP TO THE TOP OF PAGE THREE OF THE NEW RESOLUTION JUST ASKING ABOUT THE SIX FT. SIDEWALK. IF THAT'S UM. AN ADJUSTMENT, OR COULD IT BE AN

[01:55:10]

USE IT. IT MAY HAVE HAD THINGS 18 YEARS AGO THAT WE DIDN'T REALLY YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. NOW. WE MAY KNOW MORE ABOUT WHAT THAT WE WANT. THAT USED TO BE, AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO AT LEAST REVIEW THESE SITUATIONS LIKE THIS WHERE WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY. TO CHANGE SOMETHING BECAUSE MANY TIMES WE DON'T. ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT. SO JUST FOR THE PUBLIC WHAT? WHAT WOULD BE THE TIMETABLE THAT THIS WOULD EXPIRE OTHERWISE? WITH ITS JUST PD SET TO EXPIRE SOON, BECAUSE ARE THEY PUSHING IT OUT TO SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CURRENT EU DE RESOLUTION EXTENSION ON THE IF IT INSPIRED TECHNICALLY IN 2006, OKAY? BUT THERE'S BEEN NUMEROUS EXECUTIVE ORDERS SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR REGARDING THE EXTENDED BEAUTY S. SO FOR CLARIFICATION PURPOSES WHEN SOMEONE COMES INTO THE CITY OF STEWART, AND WE'RE NORMALLY BUT DIDN'T START RESPONDING TO YOU, BECAUSE NORMALLY WE DON'T RESPOND TO PUBLIC COMMENT THAT WE'RE ENGAGED. SO HERE WE GO. TELL CLARITY FOR ALL OF US TABLE EXTENSIONS FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH WHEN THE CITY PASSES A P U D A LOT OF COMMUNITIES PAST FEW D AND WHEN THEY PUT A TIMETABLE IN IT THEY SAY IF YOU DON'T DO THIS BY DECEMBER, JANUARY OF 2007, THEN YOU'RE GOING TO REVERT BACK TO YOUR OLD ZONING. THE CITY OF STEWART'S TIMETABLES DON'T REVERT BACK, SO THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO LAND USE ENTITLEMENT AT ALL TO THE PROPERTY WITHOUT EXTENDING THE TIMETABLE OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE. HAVING A COMPLETE NEW P U D PROCESS AND OPENING UP THE PROVERBIAL CAN OF WORMS TO WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE THAT PEOPLE ARE SEEKING OR NOT SEEKING. SO IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE THE EXTENSION AND THE LITTLE NOTATIONS THAT WE ADDED TO IT ESSENTIALLY LIMITED THE DEVELOPMENT TO WHAT WOULD EFFECTIVELY BE ABIE TO ZONING FOR THE 1.6 ACRES OWNED BY MISS CAMPBELL. ER RATHER THAN GOING THROUGH THE HOOPS AND JUMPS AND

[02:00:02]

AND IF THE COURT GAVE HER THE UNDERLINING B TWO, WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEIR LEGAL FEES TO DO SO, AND IT WOULD BE NO TIMETABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT. THERE WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO ADDRESS.

SO MY THOUGHT WAS WELL, WE GIVE IT FROM 23 TO 27, WHICH IS A FOUR YEAR TIMETABLE. IF SHE DOESN'T DO IT, THEN SHE HAS TO COME BACK IN FRONT OF WHATEVER COMMISSION THAT IS THEN. AND THEN IF, IN FACT THE B TWO HAS CHANGED, OR IF OTHER THINGS HAVE COME FORWARD. THAT COMMISSION MAY SAY WAIT A SECOND. WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOU USES FOR YOUR LAND. BUT THIS IS WHAT IT'S LIMITED TO OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE, BUT IT THE SHORT ANSWER . YOUR QUESTION IS, YES. WE PROBABLY BENEFIT THE CITY TO HAVE THE TIMETABLE SHORTER. BUT WHEN DO YOU STOP? IS IT TWO YEARS TO SHORTER'S TWO YEARS TOO LONG? THERE'S THREE OR FOUR WHATEVER IT WAS, AND THIS WAS REALLY A PRODUCT OF GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH MISS CAMPBELL AND I CAN PROMISE YOU SHE'S NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT. MHM IT WAS NOT A GIFT BY ANY MEANS. WE WENT BACK AND FORTH, PROBABLY THAT'S TIMES LAST WEEK DURING THAT TIME FRAME , THAT'S THE CASE. I ALSO WANTED TO STATE THAT THE APPLICANT DOES NEED TO COME FORWARD WITH FIRST SITE PLAN REVIEWS SITE PLAN APPROVAL. PLATT REVIEW PLAT APPROVAL. AND THEN BUILDING PERMITS, SO IT GIVES THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF TIME ON BOTH ENDS BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE APPLICANT TO COME UP WITH AND APPROVE. THAT SITE PLAN.

THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING. KEEP TO THE HEARING. BUT IF WE WANTED TO. ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT.

WE COULD SHORTEN THE TIMETABLES THAT THAT'S ONE WAY TO LOOK AT IT. ANOTHER WAY TO LOOK AT. IT MIGHT BE THAT THAT A LOT OF DECISIONS COULD BE MADE UP HERE THAT MIGHT BE SEEN AS A TAKING BY THE COURTS. AND WE'VE JUST HAD A PRESENTATION ON HOW TOUGH OUR STATE LEGISLATOR IS ON.

COURT FEES AND NOW WE'VE HEARD FROM THE OPINION OVER OUR ATTORNEY, UM VICE MAN TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. THERE FOR COMMENDATION. SECOND. THE MOTION FOR APPROVAL WITH THREE SECONDS.

MOTION FOR APPROVAL FOR THE RECORD. I BELIEVE THIS COMMISSIONER CLARK THE SECOND.

REPRESENTING THE CITY STUFF. UM I'M BRINGING FORWARD A NIGHT UM, FOR A ADDITION TO A INDUSTRIAL BUILDING OF MARKET STREET. SOUTH OF WALMART. AND. WEST OF COMMERCE AVENUE, IF YOU KNOW THAT SINCE THE ITEM WAS PREPARED . THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE BUILDING HAS BEEN CLARIFIED TO 28,936 SQUARE FEET, RATHER THAN THAT, WHICH WAS INITIALLY PUT FORWARD IN THE AGENDA SPOKE TO THE APPLICANT JOINING THE ALPA AND CLARIFIED SOME DIFFERENTIALS IN THE SQUARE FOOTAGE. AND THAT IS THE CORRECT SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT NOW APPEARS THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION. SO THE SITE IS LOCATED. AS I SAID, SOUTH OF MARKET STREET, UM WEST OF COMMERCE AVENUE. IT'S AN EXISTING INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING. COMPLEX ONE OF THE MOST, I THINK ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSES THAT WE HAVE IN THE CITY OF STEWART AT THE MOMENT AND THIS APPLICATION IS TO INCREASE THE EXISTING 35,250 SQUARE FOOT, ONE STORY WAREHOUSE BUILDING AND 61,644. TWO STORY BUILDING THAT WERE APPROVED WITH THE ORIGINAL HOODIE IN 2018 REFERENCE TO 368.

2018 AND SUDDENLY, THE PETITIONER IS PROPOSING A ADDITIONAL 28,936 SQUARE FEET AND ONE STORY WAREHOUSE EXPANSION. AND THIS APPLICATION IS THEREFORE A MAJOR AMENDMENT TO THE PREVIOUS ORDINANCE GRANTED IN 2018. THIS ITEM WAS HEARD BY THE LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY LAST WEEK. WHO MOTIONED, YOU KNOW, UNANIMOUS UNANIMOUSLY. TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL. OF THE REQUEST TO THE CITY COMMISSION, AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SEEING TONIGHT. THE EXISTING ZONING IS INDUSTRIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AGAIN WITH THE REFERENCE OF THAT ORDINANCE,

[02:10:01]

GOLD STATEMENT A IN TERMS OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND ELEMENT, 11 THE CITY WILL DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN AND ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT THAT WILL ENCOURAGE THE CREATION, EXPANSION AND RETENTION OF BUSINESS WITHIN CITY LIMITS WHILE MAINTAINING A HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE LIFE FOR ITS RESIDENTS. GOES ON AND POLICY. LEVIN POINT A 1.4. THE CITY WILL ENCOURAGE THE DESIGNATION AND PRESERVATION OF INDUSTRIAL LAND FOR INDUSTRIAL USES. THIS IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH PREVIOUS AND RECENT CITY. COMMISSION INSTRUCTIONS TO STAFF FOR DIRECTIONS TO STAFF TO ENCOURAGE INDUSTRIAL USE IN THIS PART OF TOWN. UM SO THAT IS IN COMPLAINTS WITH THAT. POLICY. 11.82 POINT ONE THE CITY WILL ENCOURAGE THE EXPANSION OF EXISTING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY IN APPROPRIATE LOCATIONS AS FEASIBLE AND APPLICABLE IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE THE USE OF EXISTING PUBLIC SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE. THIS IS THIS PROPOSAL IS A AN EXTENSION.

PROPOSED EXTENSION OF AN EXISTING BUSINESS ACTIVITY ON THE LOCATION. PART OF THE REASONING AND I THINK YOU'LL HEAR MORE OF THAT FROM THE APPLICANT IS TO TRANSFER JOBS AND ACTIVITIES FROM LOCATIONS FURTHER SOUTH. OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTY. THE SITE PLAN. THAT INDICATES THE LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED EXPANSION NOTE THAT IT OCCUPIES AN AREA PRESENTLY USED THE CAR PARKING AND SOME SMALL LANDSCAPE ISLANDS. UM AND SO THAT REALLY IS A MAJOR, NEGLIGIBLE INCREASE IN PERVIOUS AND IMPERVIOUS AREA. BUT THERE IS AN INCREASE IN PERVIOUS AREA.

SORRY, IMPERVIOUS AREA. AND IN RESPECT OF THAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO RELOCATE THREE EXISTING OUT TREES, WHICH ARE CURRENTLY WITHIN THE PARKING STOLE ISLANDS. UM AND ALSO A PLACEMENT OF 17 TREES WITHIN ELECTORAL ZONE OF THE EXISTING STORMWATER TREATMENT POND. THE EXISTING LANDSCAPING, AS I SAY, IS ADDED TO IN ORDER TO COME PENCIL EIGHT FOR THE LOSS OF OPEN SPACE DUE TO THE REMOVAL OF PARKING BAY LANDSCAPED ISLANDS. THAT'S WHERE FROM THE VIEW OF MARK ON MARKET STREET, YOU'LL SEE THE PROPOSED EXTENSION. THE EXTERIOR IS TO THE RIGHT OF THE EXISTING INDUSTRIAL AND MANUFACTURING ACTIVITY. THIS IS SIMPLE WAREHOUSE BUILDING WITH SHOULD HAVE DOORS ON FRONT. IN TERMS OF STORMWATER. THE SITE IS ALREADY SUBJECT TO A SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT PERMIT. AND THAT IS GOING TO BE MAINTAINED. THE WATER TREATMENT IS PROVIDED. UM TO STANDARDS AND DISCHARGES IN THE CORNERS WITH THE CITY AND THAT PERMIT THE ALLOWABLE DISCHARGE RATE WILL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE P THE ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE PERMIT. AND FULL STORMWATER REVIEW AND FINAL ENGINEERING PLANS WILL BE REQUIRED ITS SITE CONSTRUCTION PERMITS SO THOSE WILL BE EVEN FURTHER EXAMINED. UM. TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE COMPLIANT. SO HAVING SAID ALL THAT STUFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE 2497. 2022 AS CONDITIONED ARE A FEW CONDITIONS WITHIN THE ORDINANCE AT FIRST READING, THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR FREEMAN. WHY DON'T WE HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT? AND THEN OPEN UP TO QUESTIONS. PROPOSED STAFF AND THE APPLICANT IF WE HAVEN'T. TURN THE FLOOR OVER TO THE APPLICANT. GOOD AFTERNOON. HELLO MY NAME IS DIANA FOURIER AND WITH ENGINEERING DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT. UM WE JUST WANTED TO PRESENT THIS PROJECT AND SHOW THAT IT WOULD BE A GREAT EXPANSION OF AN ALREADY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS IN THE CITY OF STEWART, UM, AS KEV HAD DEMONSTRATED, THERE'S VERY LITTLE IMPACT TO THE EXISTING

[02:15:01]

OKAY SO THERE IS THE LARGER AREA. DOES. HOLD WATER YEAR ROUND AND CAPACITY. WERE ANY YOU KNOW, I KNOW IT'S MINOR FOR THE AMOUNT OF GREEN SPACE IN THE LANDSCAPE ISLANDS, AND I KNOW THE PROPOSAL WAS TO COMPENSATED BY INCREASED LATERAL PLANTING. WHERE ANY DISCUSSIONS HAD ABOUT A FOUNTAIN IN THE IN THE LAKE OR A FLOATING WETLAND, WHICH WOULD ALSO INCREASE. THE AMOUNT OF GREEN AREA AND PROBABLY IMPROVE THE WATER QUALITY. AND SINCE THIS IS THIS IS A MASTER AMENDMENT. THIS AMENDMENT THAT MAJOR AMENDMENT TO THE MASTER P U D SO I GUESS WE'RE ANY OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS HAD PROPOSED BETWEEN THE APPLICANT AND STAFF. NO STAFF DIDN'T RAISE THOSE ISSUES. WE ASSESSED THAT THE IMPACT WAS SO MINOR THAT THE ADDITIONAL TREES WERE MEETING CODE REQUIREMENTS, TOO. MEET THE ADDITIONAL IMPERVIOUS SURFACE THAT WE'RE INSTALLED THAT OKAY? OR ANY OTHER DISCUSSIONS, YOU KNOW, SAYING WAS THAT WE JUST HAD DR SOTO HERE FROM THE LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT. PUSH FOR THE TREASURE COAST. UM. SOME OF THOSE ARE SOME IDEAS THAT WE COULD GO ABOVE AND BEYOND PLANTING A FEW EXTRA TREES. UM. I THINK THIS CAN I THIS SITE DOES INCORPORATE IMPERVIOUS. SORRY OKAY. PERVIOUS PARKING. THE MORE. THE BETTER, UM. ANY OTHER OTHER QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS THE LAKE THAT'S ACTUALLY PART OF A BASTARD DRAINAGE SYSTEM.

THAT'S THE IS NOT JUST THE SITE FOR WATER BLASTING IT ACTUALLY INCORPORATE SITE FROM THAT WHOLE AREA, INCLUDING AREAS FROM NOT ONLY INCORPORATED STEWART PUT ONION INCORPORATED COUNTY AS WELL, SO IT'S SO THE AND THE CODE DOES NOT THIS CODE REQUIRE A FOUNTAIN. FOR WHAT? WHAT THEY'RE DOING TO TREE PLANTING MEETS ALL THE CODE. THAT WOULD BE ADDITIONAL TO THE MASTER. I MEAN, THIS IS AN AMENDMENT TO THE ENTIRE P U. D. IN ESSENCE, THAT'S WHAT THE PROCESS IS. YES, TECHNOLOGIES IS BRINGING IT FORWARD. BUT WE'RE AMENDING THE FOUR P U D CORRECT TO CLARIFY THAT. YES SO THE BEAUTY IS FOR WATER BLASTING. HOWEVER THE MASTER DRAINAGE SYSTEM IS FOR MORE THAN JUST THIS BEAUTY. IT INCLUDES PROPERTIES OUTSIDE OF THE BEAUTY. OKAY AND THEY ALSO BELIEVE THE EXFILTRATION FROM THAT GOES OUT TO F DOT ON US ONE DOWN DRAINAGE BOARD OR SOMETHING. COULD HAVE BEEN MATT IN THERE. I'M NOT SURE. WHAT KIND OF BENEFIT YOU'RE GONNA GET ONCE IT HITS US ONE AGAINST THE RUN OFF OF US ONE MR MAYOR, I HAVE A QUESTION. SO IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO SEE IN THE SITE PLAN. UM WITH THE PERVIOUS IMPERVIOUS, WHICH IS MY MAIN THING HERE. AND I KNOW WE'RE KIND OF SPLITTING HAIRS. BUT WITH THE ORIGINAL I P U D THAT WAS APPROVED WHERE WE ALREADY ABOVE 75% IMPERVIOUS. I THINK IT WAS VERY CLOSE TO THEM. NOW WE'RE 75 POINTS THAT NOW 75.51 WITH THE PROPOSED BUILDING AREA AND PAVEMENT AREA. UM AND WHEN I WENT BACK INTO THEIR RBC WE'VE GOT A MAX OF 65 FOR INDUSTRIAL, UM, WAS THAT COMMON DRAINAGE? BASIN FOR THE ENTIRE AREA WITH THAT CONTEMPLATED BACK AT THE ORIGINAL. WELL THAT WAS PART OF THE OBVIOUSLY THE STORMWATER TREATMENT PLAN FOR THE WHOLE SITE. SO THAT'S LOOKING TO COUNT THAT WE HAVE A

[02:20:04]

THE TOTAL SIDE AREA THAT'S ABOUT 4600 SQUARE FEET. UM. YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANNA I DON'T WANT TO HOLD UP THIS GREAT. JOB CREATOR AND OUR COMMUNITY. UM BUT AT THE SAME TIME SINCE WE ARE ALREADY OVER WHAT IS BEING ALLOWED IN OUR LDC FOR INDUSTRIAL, UM BY 10% AND THEN AND CHANGE, PERHAPS WE COULD LOOK AT HAVING A FEW OF THE PARKING STALLS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT MANY ARE BEING REMOVED BUT HAVE A FEW OF THE NEW OR ADJACENT PARKING STALLS TO THIS CONSTRUCTION B. BUILT WITH PERVIOUS PARKING TO OFFSET THAT ADDITIONAL 2600 SQUARE FEET OF GIVE OR TAKE OF IMPERVIOUS.

IS THAT SOMETHING THE APPLICANT WOULD BE WILLING TO HAVE TO DISCUSS IT. WITH THE OWNER, BUT I THINK THAT IT'S A GREAT OPTION. LOOK INTO UM. MAYBE BEFORE SECOND READING. WE CAN HAVE THAT BROUGHT FORWARD AND SPACEMAN QUESTIONS THAT REQUIRE MORE OF A COMMENT. JUST A LITTLE HISTORY BACK WHEN TED GLASS RUDE , WHO HARD BODY FROM RIGHT, RIGHT, BOUGHT THE PROPERTY, WE CAME BACK AND WE CAME IN, AND WE I CAN'T REMEMBER ALL THE DETAILS . IT'S BEEN SEVERAL YEARS AGO, BUT WE WENT BACK AND DID A DRAINAGE PART OF THAT WHOLE REDID THAT WHOLE MASTER DRAINAGE PLANT AND INCORPORATED THERE WAS A PLANNED PRESERVED THAT WAS CREATED OFF SITE. THERE WAS ALSO THE DRAINAGE OF LIKE THE COMMON DRAINAGE POND AND THIS WAY BECAUSE IT WAS COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL TO ALLOW A MORE COMPLETE MORE FULL BUILD OUT SO HMM. I'M YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, I'M INTERESTED TO SEE IF THE APPLICANT CAN CAN BRING FORWARD SOME ADDITIONAL PREVIOUS PARKING IMPROVEMENTS TO GET US CLOSER TO THAT, 75 UM, BECAUSE WE'RE ALREADY STILL OVER THE 65. BUT IN LIEU OF THAT, IF YOU CAN DEMONSTRATE TO US THROUGH THE HISTORY OF THE ENTIRE DRAINAGE BASIN AND THE APPROVAL OF THE ORIGINAL I P U D WHETHER OR NOT THAT ADDITIONAL IMPERVIOUS WAS THE RESULT OF ALL THE OFF SITE. I THINK THERE WAS SOME OF THAT. FROM WHAT I RECALL. GOOD TO HAVE THAT CLARIFIED FOR US BEFORE NEXT READING PERFECT. THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS. CLOSE THE HEARING. UM, BEFORE WE DELIBERATE AND FORM OF MOTION. I'LL OPEN IT UP. TO THE PUBLIC PRIOR TO THE MOTION FOR QUASI JUDICIAL HEARING. DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? I HAVE NO PUBLIC COMMENTS. MR MAYOR, PUBLIC COMMENTS I'LL MOVE ON. MR MAYOR? YES I'M GONNA MAKE A MOTION BEFORE I DO. I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS IS I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS SITE FOR YEARS WITH THIS PROPERTY OWNER BRICK AS A JOB CREATION TOOL. UM AND I THINK IT'S FANTASTIC. THE PRODUCTS THAT ARE PRODUCED IN THIS IN THE CITY OF STEWART ARE SOLD ALL AROUND THE WORLD. THE TRUCK, THE BACK THE PRESSURE WASHING VACUUM TRUCKS ARE IN 75% OF THE WORLD MARKET FOR CLEANING RUNWAYS. NOW THEY'RE PRODUCING STRIPING EQUIPMENT THAT IS GOING TO BE STRIPING ROADS ALL NOT ONLY ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES, I ACTUALLY JUST SAW SOME FACEBOOK POSTS FROM THE OWNER. HE'S OVER IN EUROPE, I GUESS SELLING TRUCKS RIGHT NOW. SO PRODUCTS BUILT RIGHT HERE IN STUART ARE
