[COMMENTS BY CITY COMMISSIONERS]
TONIGHT. AND I MENTIONED LARRY MASSING, AND LARRY WAS ONE OF THE CITY OF STEWART'S, UM, FIRST PAID FIREFIGHTERS AND, UH, HE WAS ALSO A CHIEF UNDERSTAND WHY HE WAS CHIEF. HE WAS OVERSAW THE BUILDING OF STATION TO HE. THEN, AFTER HE RETIRED FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, HE WENT ON TO, UH, WORK IN THE BUILDING APARTMENT. WAS HE BUILDING OFFICIAL? HE WAS THE CITY OF STEWART'S BUILDING WHILE HE WAS THE CHIEF. HE WAS TWO ROLLS OF TWO ROLES, AND THEN HE WENT ON TO MARTIN COUNTY SERVICE. THEY'RE BOARDING OFFICIAL. IN THE MEANTIME, HE CONTINUED TO SERVE THE CITY SERVING ON VARIOUS BOARDS, INCLUDING THE L PA. UM SO HE DEDICATED HIS ENTIRE PROFESSIONAL LIFE TO, UM. TO THE CITY IS STUART IN MARTIN COUNTY , AND HE CERTAINLY WILL BE MISSED. UM I'VE HAD A COUPLE SEVERAL CALLS REGARDING HIS PASSING. AND UM, MOST RECENTLY ONE OF SEVERAL CALLS AND TALKED ABOUT A REQUEST TO NAME STATION TO FOR THEM, SO I'D REALLY LIKE THE CITY COMMISSION, TOO. CONSIDER RENAMING STATION TO ITS CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE A NAME, BUT I THINK THE CHIEF LARRY MESSING STATION WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.

DO YOU HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? ON THIS MOTION.
MR LAYTON. OH, THAT'S SWEET. THANK YOU, MAYOR COMMISSIONERS. I WISH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WOULD BE SO SMOOTH. LIKE YOU GUYS. THINGS DO COME BEFORE YOU TO SPEAK IN REGARDS TO LARRY AND HIS SERVICE TO THE CITY OF STEWART IS 10 YEARS AS CHIEF IN 1974. HE WAS WITH THE AMBULANCE DIVISION, WHICH MERGED LATER ON, AND YOU KNOW, I FIRST MET LARRY WITH RAY COOK, WHO WAS ALSO A CITY COMMISSIONER HERE. I DON'T KNOW MANY PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE REMEMBER HIM, BUT UNFORTUNATELY , THAT'S THE LONGEVITY OF OUR FAMILY. BUT GETTING BACK TO LARRY. I KNOW HIS HIS WIFE AND HIS SON AND OTHERS ARE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF WHAT YOU GUYS ARE CONTEMPLATING DOING AND WHEN THAT NAMING AND THINGS COME ABOUT THAT VERY SPECIAL TO THEM , SO THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF THE CITY AND THE FAMILY. MORE IMPORTANTLY, FIRE RESCUE AND THE COUNTY BUILDING THE FAMILY DEPARTMENT. THANK YOU ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE MOTION? HERE HE DONE, SHE SAID. WOULD YOU CALL THE ROLE? COULD I JUST MAKE ONE COMMENT? ABSOLUTELY. I APPRECIATE YOU SAYING THIS BECAUSE WHEN I FIRST GOT ON THE LP, A LARRY ACTUALLY SAT WHERE I SIT, AND I WAS SITTING WHERE COMMISSIONER COLLINS SAID.

[00:05:02]
VERY KIND AND VERY HELPFUL TO ME. UNFORTUNATELY I COULDN'T GET TO KNOW HIM BETTER BECAUSE OF SUNSHINE, OIR. BUT HE HIS CONCERN FOR THE WELFARE, YOU KNOW, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CITY WAS VERY EVIDENT. AND, UM I HARDLY ENDORSE THIS MOTION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY IT WAS SECONDED. RIGHT? OKAY SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER CLARK SECONDED BY THE COMMISSIONER COLLARDS.

I THINK THAT'S ALL THE COMMENTS I HAVE FOR TODAY FOR MYSELF. MR CLARK, WHY DON'T YOU START OFF TONIGHT? THANK YOU. SO WE JUST HAD A C R A MEETING AND I KNOW THAT THE CR IS SO IMPORTANT TO THE CITY AND NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE C R A. BUT THEY SEE THE EVIDENCE OF THE SIERRA, ESPECIALLY IN WHAT WE DO IN THE DOWNTOWN. AND WHEN WE TRY TO MAKE CHANGES UM AND WE TRY TO WORK WITH TOURISM AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND JUST TRYING TO ENSURE THAT OUR CITY, ESPECIALLY OUR CITY'S CENTER STAYS, UM VIBRANT. AND I JUST WANTED TO REALLY COMMEND. PENAL. I'M GONNA MESS IT UP NOW. GANDHI SERVED US AND THEM IS WRONG. THE WRONG WAY AROUND. YEAH AND FOR WHAT SHE'S DONE IF YOU GO TO OTHER CITIES, AND YOU CCR, A MANAGERS AND THE THINGS THAT THEY HAVE TO DO AND THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO CONTEND WITH, AND JUST THE MANNERISM AND THE WAY THAT SHE'S WORKED WITH OUR COMMITTEES AND WITH OUR COMMISSION AND WITH OTHER STAFF. I JUST THINK THAT SHE HAS A LOT OF WORK, AND PEOPLE DON'T EVEN WHAT IS SO RECOGNIZE HER SIMPLE BECAUSE SHE DOES SO WELL THAT SHE DOESN'T WANT TO GIVE HERSELF A BIG BRAVADO OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. AND I THINK THE WORK OF THE C R A SO IMPORTANT AND IT SAYS A LOT FOR CITIES, SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM COMMON DAESH INS I BELIEVE OR DO FOR PANEL AND I APPRECIATE THE WORK TO SHE DOES IN THAT VEIN, I'D LIKE TO ASK OR CRB MEMBERS WHO ARE ACTIVE. PLEASE BE ACTIVE AND HELP US TO CONTINUE TO DO THE PLANNING AND THE WORK FOR THE CITY OF STEWART WITH REGARD TO PLANNING FOR THE WORK OF THE CITY OF STEWART. AGAIN SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN DONE THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AND THROUGH THE C R A IS THE EAST STEWART HISTORICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING, WHICH WILL BE HELD ON OCTOBER 29TH AT 10 A.M. RIGHT HERE AT OUR CITY CHAMBERS , AND THIS IS THE LAST MEETING OF A SERIES OF ABOUT AT LEAST FOUR MEETINGS. BUT THIS IS LIKE THE THIRD BIG MEAT IN THAT THEY'RE HAVING. AND THEY'RE HOPING TO PLAN FOR THE, UM FOR THE NEXT. WELL, THE LAST OF A SERIES OF BIG MEETINGS. THEY'RE THEY'RE PLANNING TO FOR THE 2023 FORWARD TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TRY TO GET SOME RECOMMENDATIONS INTO THE CITY. SO PLEASE, IF YOU'RE A BOARD MEMBER FOR THAT, PLEASE COME ON OUT TO THAT. AND OF COURSE, IF YOU'RE A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC, YOU'RE ALWAYS INVITED. 10 A.M. HERE AT THE CITY HALL ON OCTOBER 29TH. IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY BUSY DAY. WE JUST FINISHED DISCUSSING PARKING DOWNTOWN. THERE'S A HOBGOBLIN PARADE. THERE'S A LOT OF HALLOWEEN TYPE THINGS A LOT OF ACTIVITIES, AND SO WE JUST ASK PEOPLE TO COME OUT, PARTICIPATE AND GIVE THEIR INPUT ON THIS THING, WHICH WILL HELP TO MOVE THE E. STEWART COMMUNITY FORWARD AND TO HELP CREATE A BETTER SENSE OF PLACE IN THAT AREA AS WE CONTINUE TO REDEVELOP IN THAT AREA. MR MARSHALL WAS THAT YOU WERE SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ? JUST AS A POINT OF CLARIFICATION WAS COMMISSIONER CLARK WAS MENTIONING THERE HAVE BEEN A SERIES OF MEETINGS. AND I DON'T KNOW WHICH NUMBER MEETING THIS IS FOR THE EAST OR HIS HISTORICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
BUT IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS THE LAST MEETING WHEN SHE MENTIONED THE THIRD MEETING OUT OF POSSIBLY FOUR. THIRD YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE. IT'S GOING TO BE OVER AFTER THIS, SO DON'T WAIT UNTIL THAT OTHER MEETING. OKAY OCTOBER 29TH, THIS IS IT. I THINK I THINK I THINK WELL, THE OTHER BIG THING IS THAT PEOPLE HAVE CONTACTED ME. FOR BOTH THE MONTEREY ROAD RAILROAD, AS WELL AS THE FLORIDA STREET CROSSING. AND, OF COURSE, THE ENTIRE 110
[00:10:04]
MILE. TESTING 10 MILE AN HOUR TESTING OR 70 TO 110 MILE AN HOUR TESTING THROUGH STEWART FOR THE BRIGHT LINE. PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED THAT ON MONTEREY ROAD WHEN YOU'RE GOING EAST THERE'S A , UM RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR MOST CONSTRUCTION AND THE SCHOOL BOARD. THERE'S A WHITE LINE BEFORE YOU GET UP TO THE RAILROAD TRACK THAT TECHNICALLY IF YOU HAVE PASSED YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE TEST, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO STOP THERE. THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER WHITE LINE OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RAILROAD TRUCK AND A ONE A AND SO PEOPLE TRAVEL OVER AND THEY SIT THERE. I GUESS IT'S A TRAP ZONE OR A DEAD ZONE LIKE ON THE TENNIS COURT. YOU'RE IN NO MAN'S LAND. THEY'RE SITTING THERE AND NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH PEOPLE COMING NORTH AND TRYING TO TURN WEST ON MONTEREY ROAD, BUT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING THAT THE ARM IS GOING TO GO DOWN. SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN. SHOULD WE ASK THE RAILROAD OR THE COUNTY TO LOOK AT THE STRIPING ON THAT THING AT MONTEREY ROAD AND SEE IF THE STRIPE IN HIS MISLEADING PEOPLE? TO ACTUALLY CROSS OVER AND STOP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RAILROAD AND THEN GET STUCK SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN. SO I'M JUST SAYING THIS OUT LOUD. MAYBE OUR NPR REPRESENTATIVES CAN PROBABLY CALLED MPO PERSONS AND SAY, LOOK AT SOMETHING OR CALL SOMEBODY THAT'S WITH REGARD TO A ONE AND MONTEREY ROAD. WITH REGARD TO FLORIDA STREET AND, UM AT A ONE A. THE CONCERN HAS COME UP, NOT JUST FROM EAST STEWART RESIDENTS DIRECTLY, BUT EVERYBODY USES THAT ROAD THAT BECAUSE THEY'VE PUT IN THESE, UT WILL LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON THERE WITH THE TRAFFIC AND IT HAS SEEMED TO CONSTRAIN THE VISUAL, UM, IMPRINT THAT HAS HAPPENED HAS SEEMED TO COME. IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU'RE PLAYING AN ILLUSION GAME. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE JUST GONNA RUN RIGHT HEAD ON INTO THE NEXT PERSON COME IN, WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO THE EAST AND WEST CROSSING OVER THE RAILROAD TRACK AND FLORIDA STREET AND EVERYBODY HAS BEEN CALLING AND COMPLAINING AND WANTED TO FIND OUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED. I KNOW WE'VE HAD THE RAILROAD PEOPLE HERE BEFORE. I DON'T KNOW IF CITY MANAGER CAN HAVE A FEW WORDS TO SAY OR IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO , OR WHEN THE PARK AND THE ROUNDABOUT IS FINISHED, IF IT WILL LOOK DIFFERENT OR IF WE'LL HAVE AN EXTENSION, TWO FT TO THE NORTH SO THAT PEOPLE CAN KIND OF STAY AWAY FROM THOSE WHO ARE TRAVELING OVER THE RAILROAD TRACK. I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT I JUST PEOPLE ARE VERY, VERY CONCERNED AND VERY, VERY UPSET ABOUT FLORIDA STREET AND A ONE A CROSSON RECONSTRUCTION FIXING. THAT SHOULD START AROUND NOVEMBER 22ND. SO IT'S GONNA BE FIXED AND THAT WHOLE VISUAL THING WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF. HOPEFULLY PEOPLE JUST HAVE TO DRIVE CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW THE RULES AND BE RESPECTFUL OF OTHERS. MR THANK YOU, MR MAYOR FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK SOMETHING SINCE COMMISSIONER CLARK BOUGHT THE RAILROAD CONFUSION CORNER WHEN YOU'RE HEADING SOUTH ON DIXIE HIGHWAY AND YOU COME UP TO THE RIGHT HAND TURN TO COLORADO AVENUE, AND THERE'S A NEED SIDE OF THE STREET. IT'S JUST A LITTLE ONE WAY SECTION THERE, HE SAYS STREET, THERE'S A RIGHT HAND TURN ARROW ABOVE THE RIGHT, RIGHT, STOP SAYING ABOVE THE LEFT ONE. THERE'S A YIELD SIGN.HI SO IT'S KIND OF CONFUSING BECAUSE IT TELLS YOU TO YIELD AND STOP AT THE SAME TIME. SO ANYWAYS, MCDONALD. TOMORROW, OKAY? THANK YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO GET THAT IS EFFICIENT. YOU KNOW, I SPENT TWO DAYS SITTING NEXT TO MILTON AT A AT A CONFERENCE IN BOY. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT. I REALLY KNOW THE CITY NOW. OH YEAH. SO ANYWAYS, LET'S MOVE ON THE COMMISSIONER BRUNER WANTED TO SAY HE GOT AN F . SO WHILE WE WERE AWAY WATER NOW, SO I'M GOOD. THANK YOU.
COMMISSIONER COLLINS. SURE. I HAVE A FEW THINGS. SO UM, IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S KIND OF BEEN ON MY MIND FOR A LITTLE BIT MY HEART OUT FOR A LITTLE BIT, BUT MORE RECENTLY AT THE MPO MEETING, IT WAS REALLY REFRESHING TO HEAR AN INVOCATION BEFORE THE MEETING. AND IT'S SOMETHING I BROUGHT UP TO THE CITY MANAGER AND WE WERE KIND OF TALKING ABOUT A LITTLE BIT. I KNOW IT'S SOMETHING WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST. IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE COUNTY COMMISSION DOES.
CURRENTLY THE SCHOOL BOARD DOES. THERE WERE SOME THREATS OF POTENTIALLY GROUPS COMING IN FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND. THAT WE KNOW WE HAD TO TRY TO STEP BACK A LITTLE BIT, BUT I'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE. I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO HAVE LOCAL PASTORS STARTING OFF OUR MEETINGS AND IN PRAYER, SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS EMOTION. OR IF IT'S
[00:15:05]
SOMETHING YOU JUST KIND OF ON YOUR END KIND OF PULLED BACK WITH THE THREAT OF THE SATANIC CHURCH OR WHATEVER WAS GOING ON AT THE TIME, SO IT'S AN ADMINISTRATIVE CODE AS IT RELATES TO THE LINEUP OF THE AGENDA, AND I'VE ACTUALLY ALREADY MADE THE CHANGES TO BRING BEFORE YOU GUYS TO DISCUSS AND VOTE ON. UM WHEN YOU AND I HAVE DISCUSSED WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A MILITARY CHAPLAIN. WE'RE STILL GOING THAT DIRECTION I WOULD SAY FOR NOW, NO, UNLESS THERE TRULY IS A THREAT. THAT WE HAVE TO KIND OF PROTECTING ONLY HOW TO BE A MILITARY CHAPLAIN OR NOT EVEN A MILITARY CHAPLAIN. IT'S POLICE AND FIRE CHAPLAIN MUNICIPAL. BUT FOR NOW, JUST LIKE THE YOU KNOW, SCHOOL BOARD AND COUNTY COMMISSION DOES HAVING LOCAL PASTORS FROM THE CITY COUNTY HAVE. I THINK THE COUNTY TOO, HAD A HAD A COMMITTEE OF SOME SORT TO DETERMINE WHO CAN GIVE THE IMPLICATIONS, BUT I CAN'T SAY I KNOW THE DETAILS, SO I'LL LOOK UNDER THEIR POLICY SETTING AND SEE WHAT THAT WOULD BE. I'M FINE WITH IT. I THINK WE GOTTA I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT THE COUNTY'S POLICY IS JUST SO THAT BECAUSE THEY I KNOW THEY ACTUALLY LOOKED INTO IT POLICY BEFORE WE TOOK A BREAK. I DON'T KNOW IT WAS POLICY WAS ORIGINALLY THAT THE MAYOR WOULD SIMPLY. HAVE THE DISCRETION OF THAT. THE WAY THE CHARTER READ IS THAT IT DID HAVE AN INVOCATION. IT DIDN'T SAY WHO DID IT? AND THEN THE ISSUE OF THESE OTHER GROUPS, AND THE CITY HAD ITS GONNA GO WAY BACK. BUT THE CITY HAD AN ISSUE WITH REGARD TO A POLL THAT HAD SOME ETCHINGS IN IT THAT WAS INSTALLED DOWN HERE BY THE RIVER FRONT. AND THAT IS WHAT STIRRED UP THIS THE CONCERNS THAT CAUSED IT TO CHANGE THAT, FOR A LONG TIME THE MAYOR'S WOULD DO. SOME MAYORS DID A PRAYER. SOMEBODY'S DID AN IMPLICATION THEMSELVES, STARTING THE MEETINGS WITHOUT A THE ASSISTANCE OF A PASTOR OR ANYONE ELSE. AND, UM, IT KIND OF HAD COME TO AN END BEFORE LIKE, I THINK IT WAS LIKE FOUR OR FIVE YEARS AGO, THERE WAS A SUPREME COURT RULING AND SOME OTHER CASE LAW THAT CAME OUT AND SAID THAT IT ACTUALLY WAS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE A MALICIOUS INTERFERENCE OF CHURCH AND STATE AND THAT IT BECAME THE DISCRETION OF THE POLICY OF THE BOARDS, I GUESS FOR LACK OF THE BETTER THING, BUT IT HAD SOME CONDITIONS TIED TO IT. SO MAYBE I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S SOMETHING WE COULD ADD, BUT THAT COMMISSIONERS CAN RECOMMEND LOCAL PASTORS AND LEADERS TO DO THE INDICATIONS AND INVITE THEM . AND SO I THINK WHEN THE CITY MANAGER WAS TALKING ABOUT THE MILITARY MATTER, I THINK THAT'S WHERE IT WAS. SO IF YOU OPEN IT UP TO A PASTOR, THEN YOU HAVE TO OPEN IT UP TO ANY OF YOU HAVE THE PARAMETERS SET FORTH BY THE RESTRICTION OF CENTRALIZED RECOMMENDED BY THE CITY MANAGER, THEN THAT LIMITS THAT TO THAT.SO PHOENIX PHOENIX DEALT WITH THAT, AND THAT WAS THEIR RESPONSES. THEY LIMITED INVOCATIONS TO MUNICIPAL. UM CHIEF OR FIRE AND POLICE CHAPLAINS, SO I DON'T THINK I DON'T SEE THE THREAT RIGHT NOW HAPPENING WITH THE COUNTY OR YOU KNOW, WITH THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OR THE SCREEN HAVEN'T HEARD ANY COMPLAINTS IF WE HAD TO. THAT'S AN OPTION, BUT I JUST LIKE TO SEE THE COUNTY'S POLICY JUST SO WE CAN. ABSOLUTELY BRUNER. I JUST WANT TO POP IN REAL QUICK TO SAY I AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER. TOTALLY WOULD LIKE THAT. ALSO. YEP.
THANK YOU. SORRY I AGREE WITH THE COMMISSIONER. I SUPPORT HIM ON IT. ALSO I WANTED TO JUST REMIND THE PUBLIC THAT THE ZONING AND PROGRESS WORKSHOP IS GOING TO BE NOVEMBER 2ND. SO IT IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING IF YOU WANT TO HAVE AH PUBLIC COMMENT INPUT ON THE WAY THAT STEWART DEVELOPS GOING FORWARD, AND THAT IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW UP AND HAVE A SAY SO FROM 4 TO 7.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OUR VERSE FIRST ZONING IN PROGRESS WORKSHOP WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE HEARING FROM STAFF AND GOING THROUGH OUR CODE. WITH OUR ZONING. SO 4 TO 7 HERE ON NOVEMBER 2ND AND THEN LAST, JUST AS A REMINDER I HAD THE LEADERS OF THE BIBLE MARATHON. IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS HAPPENED HERE FOR PROBABLY COMMISSIONER CLARK KNOWS BETTER THAN ME. 25 YEARS OR SO. SHE'S RIGHT UP THERE. I'VE READ UP THERE IN THE PAST, BUT THEY JUST WANTED TO WRITE.
AND SO THEY JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ECHOED AGAIN. THIS IS GOING TO BE FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH AT SIX O'CLOCK AT THE BANDSHELL IS GOING TO BEGIN THE BIBLE MARATHON. AND FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW IT'S THEY BASICALLY READ FROM GENESIS ONE TO THE END OF THE BIBLE. 24 HOURS A DAY UNTIL IT'S DONE FOR ABOUT A WEEK. SO THAT'S ALL. OKAY COMMISSIONER, CUT KIM GO BACK TO COMMISSIONER ACCOUNTS SUGGESTION AND THAT WOULD MAKE ME INCREDIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE.
THAT WE HAVE AN INVOCATION AT A MUNICIPAL MEETING. THE VERY FIRST AMENDMENT OF THIS COUNTRY
[00:20:01]
IS THE STATE. SHALL NOT SUPPORT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION. THAT WAS THE VERY FIRST THING.THAT THEY SAID WHEN THEY CAME TO THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTOOD HOW DESTRUCTIVE IT WAS. WE CAN'T HAVE PEOPLE YELLING FROM THE AUDIENCE. AND I DO NOT GO ALONG WITH THIS AND I.
AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A VERY LENGTHY DISCUSSION. WHAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE? OKAY? THANK YOU. YOU'RE RICH. OKAY, SO WE'LL MOVE ON. AND COMMISSIONER PARKER. IT'S COMMISSION RICH FINISHED. I'M SORRY. I FORGOT TO MENTION IN MY REGARD SINCE MR COLLINS BROUGHT UP NOVEMBER UM, DURING THE I INTEND, AND I HAVE SAID THIS OUT FOR TWO MONTHS NOW, I'VE SAID SEND A NOTICE OF UNAVAILABILITY TO THE CITY MANAGER. I THINK FROM NOVEMBER THE EIGHTH THROUGH NOVEMBER, THE 16TH. I INTEND TO BE TRAVELING AND I WILL NOT BE, UM HERE FOR THE I THINK THE FIRST MEETING IN NOVEMBER. SO ALREADY PUT THAT OUT. SO I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WHAT IS THAT IS THAT NOVEMBER, THE EIGHTH THE FIRST MEETING NOVEMBER. 7TH IS THE FIRST MONDAY SO THE FIRST MEETING OF THE NOVEMBER 14TH. OKAY SO ANYTHING ELSE, COMMISSIONER THANK YOU, SIR. AND THEN I JUST HAD TO HAVE SOME COMMENTS. GO AHEAD. I APOLOGIZE . SO LAST WEDNESDAY ATTENDED THE TREASURE COAST REGIONAL NAKED CITIES IN AN OFFICIAL CAPACITY FOR THE FIRST TIME IT WAS HELD AT OCEAN BREEZE AND JENSEN BEACH, AND THIS IS THE ORGANIZATION. THAT PROVIDES INSURANCE TO MOST OF THE MUNICIPALITIES IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. AND THEY PLAY SUCH AN IMPORTANT ROLE THAT RIGHT AFTER HURRICANE IN THE GOVERNOR APPOINTED E. FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES TO BE THE INTIMATE INTERMEDIARY BETWEEN THE GOVERNOR BETWEEN THE STATE AND THE CITIES IN THE EVENT THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO GET WHAT THEY NEEDED FROM THE COUNTIES.
AND IN ADDITION, IT IS A LITTLE BONUS FOR US. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THE PRESIDENT OF OUR REGIONAL, THE TREASURE COAST REGIONAL ORGANIZATION THE VICE MAYOR OF I THINK SHE'S THE VICE MAYOR. JOLENE CARABALLO. IS SHE THE VICE MAYOR? MIRACLE SHE'S LUCY. SHE'S OUR TREASURY COAST REGIONAL PRESIDENT, AND SHE IS CURRENTLY PRESIDENT OF THE STATEWIDE ORGANIZATION.
APPARENTLY, SHE'S A REAL GO GETTER. SO I THINK IF THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES THERE SPECIFIC WAYS SHE CAN. THE ORGANIZATION CAN HELP US. I'M SURE SHE CAN BE VERY HELPFUL. IN THAT WAY.
SECONDLY ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY LAST WEEK FOR COMMISSIONERS SOMEBODY NAMED MILTON. I'M KIDDING. UM MILTON AND SOMEONE WHO WORKS IN HIS DEPARTMENT, EDDIE ROBINSON, AND WE ATTENDED A TWO DAY MEETING PUT ON BY THE MARINE RESOURCES COUNCIL IN ROCKLEDGE, FLORIDA. IN FACT, THE CITY OF STEWART WAS IDENTIFIED AS HAVING THE MOST INDIVIDUALS THERE FROM ANY MINISTER. PALETTE E. I DIDN'T HAVE THIS MEETING WITH VERY EXCITING DEALT WITH LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT. AND GREEN STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE . THIS IS NEVER SAT IN ONE ROOM WITH SO MANY PHDS IN MY LIFE. UM BASICALLY, THIS IS SMALLER SCALE AND MORE EFFECTIVE WAYS TO DEAL WITH POTENTIAL FLOODING. AND JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THIS IS HAPPENED TO ME JUST BEFORE I LEFT FOR THIS MEETING. AH HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET FROM US. WAS BUILT ON AN EXISTING SITE WAREHOUSE HAD BEEN IN TOWARD DOWN ACTUALLY FEEL SORRY FOR THE HOME WORKERS. HE LIVES ACROSS THE STREET FROM A CITY COMMISSIONER. AND OTHER NEIGHBOR IS THE MAYOR'S APPOINTED TO THE L P A. WHO WAS OUT OF THE L P A.
SO I'VE LIVED IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD 30 YEARS WE'VE NEVER HAD FLOODING. THIS NEW HOME WENT IN. AND WE HAD THE FIRST SERIOUS RAINSTORM. WE'VE HAD ALL SUMMER. AS YOU ALL KNOW, IT'S BEEN VERY DRY. AND A LAKE FORMED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE, WENT DOWN THE STREET AND WENT INTO A NEIGHBOR'S GARAGE AND CAUSED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGE WAS CRUSHED.
THIS WAS ONE HOUSE BUILT ON ONE SITE. WAREHOUSE HAD ALREADY BEEN SO THE END THE IMPACT OUR DECISIONS HERE IN TERMS OF DEVELOPMENT CAN BE DRAMATIC. IN ADDITION, TO US. JESSICA SEYMOUR WAS THERE. SHE'S OUR SHE'S PRESENTING THE FORM BASED CODE TO US FROM THE TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL. AND JIM MOYER WAS THERE. JIM MOYER SITS ON THE L PAY FOR THE
[00:25:06]
COUNTY. AND HE'S ALSO THE NEW INDIAN RIVER RIVERKEEPER. HE IS ALSO AND I DIDN'T KNOW THIS UNTIL I SAT NEXT TO HIM ON FRIDAY. HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE MARINE RESOURCES COUNCIL. SO WE'VE GOT SOME REALLY TERRIFIC LOCAL CONNECTIONS HERE, AND I'M SURE IF WE WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS SUBSTANTIAL RESOURCES THEY HAVE THAT YOU WOULD BE VERY HAPPY TO HELP US IN ANY WAY HE CAN. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. THANK YOU, AND I JUST WANT TO ADD ONE LAST THING REGARDING SINCE REMINDED ME WHEN COMMISSIONER COLLINS BROUGHT UP THE MPO, UM AT THE LAST MPO MEETING IN AN EFFORT TO IMPROVE TRAFFIC. BOT CAME BACK TO US AFTER MANY YEARS OF LOOKING AT IT AND CAME UP WITH A PLAN TO, UH AH, REDESIGN CANTOR HIGHWAY AND US ONE TO ALLOW THREE LANES OF CARS TO TURN NORTHBOUND. UM AND THAT WILL REALLY HELP THE STACKING ON US ONE AND THE TRAFFIC BECAUSE SO MUCH OF THAT TRAFFIC IS GOING TO PORT ST LUCIE. SO UM, SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. THAT BECAUSE I THINK WE FIRST ASKED HIM ABOUT THAT ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO AND THE SEVEN OR MAYBE SIX YEARS AGO, BUT THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO DO IT BACK THEN, BUT THEY'VE REALLY FIGURED OUT THEIR THEIR ENGINEERS HAVE, REALLY, UM STEPPED UP AND CAME UP WITH A NEW PLAN. SO THAT WAS REALLY NICE TO HEAR. OKAY? SURE. I'M SORRY. SO MAYOR. I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO BRING A PROCLAMATION TO THE ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA FOR SORORITY ON SUN SATURDAY. THEY CAME STRONG FROM FLORIDA, GEORGIA AND NORTH CAROLINA. TO MARTIN COUNTY FOR THEIR MEETING. THEY COULDN'T COME TO THE CITY OF STEWART BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T SUPPOSEDLY MOVES TO THE HALL YET, OR MAYBE HAVE A CONVENTION CENTER SOMEWHERE IN DOWNTOWN IN THE FUTURE, BUT THEY MET OVER ON HUTCHINSON ISLAND, BUT I KNOW THAT THEY HAD AN ECONOMIC IMPACT , AND THEY ENJOYED BEING IN AND AROUND OUR CITY OF STEWART. I THINK THAT IT WAS SO IMPORTANT OVER 400 WOMEN FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE. UM MR RIDGE SAID HE'S NEVER SEEN SO MANY PHDS IN HIS LIFE AT THE MEETING. SAME HERE. SO MANY TEACHERS, LAWYERS, DOCTORS, PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST REALLY INSTRUMENTAL IN MOVING OUR NATION FORWARD, AND I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU. FOR MAKING SURE THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE WELCOME IN MARTIN COUNTY, OKAY,[COMMENTS BY CITY MANAGER]
COMING BY THE MANAGER. LAST WEEK , I WAS CONTACTED BY A CITIZEN. YOU GUYS MAY RECALL THE PREVIOUSLY SEATED COMMISSION INSTRUCTED STAFF TO STOP, UM DOING READING WEED ERADICATION IN OUR PONDS AND SPRAYING PONDS . WE DID ADD, VENTURED INTO A PILOT PROJECT ON HOSPITAL POND THAT WE'RE STILL WORKING ON. THE INDIVIDUAL EXPERT THAT WAS BROUGHT TO US BY A COMMISSIONER , MR GIULIO, I THINK IS HIS NAME FROM F I T ALSO RECOMMEND THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOME SPRING IN YOUR POND. THERE'S NOT A WAY TO GET AROUND THAT. BUT THE CITIZEN WHO CONTACTED ME LAST WEEK WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE POND AT OUR DOG PARK ON CENTRAL PARKWAY BECAUSE IT IS HEAVILY USED BY A REMOTE CONTROL SAILBOAT GROUP THERE AND THEY'RE AT THE POINT WHERE THEY CAN'T EVEN UTILIZE THE BOATS BECAUSE OF THE WE'D STRUCK SHINS WITHIN THE POND, AND WE WERE BEING ASKED TO ERADICATE. AND SO I AM ASKING THE COMMISSION IF IT'S YOUR DESIRE TO LIFT THOSE PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS FROM US TO NOT DO ANY WEED ERADICATION OR IF YOU WANT TO KEEP THAT IN PLACE. I THINK WE SHOULD THE EXPERT I MET WITH THE EXPERT FROM PITY. AND HAD A QUITE EXTENSIVE CONVERSATION AND HE WAS VERY ADAMANT THAT WE HAD TO DO SOME SPRAYING. UH HE OFFERED ALSO OFFERED MANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO LIMIT THAT AND HOW TO ENSURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO DO IT. KEEP CONTINUOUSLY DO IT. BUT HE SAID THAT IN ORDER FOR THE PLANS TO BE HEALTHY, YOU HAVE TO KEEP THE WEEDS DOWN AND YOU WOULD HAVE TO SPRAY WHAT DO WE SPRING? I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE ACTUAL PRODUCT THAT THE PROBLEM CAME WHERE THERE WAS. THE PRODUCT IS ATTACHED BY THIS GREENISH BLUE FOAM. IT'S LIKE A THICK GELATIN, WHICH IS WHAT ATTACHES IT AND KEEPS IT ONTO THE ACTUAL WERE PRODUCT AROUND THE FIELD. AND SOMEONE SAW THAT AND THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS THE ACTUAL PRODUCT THAT WAS KILLING WOULD KILL. OR WHATEVER, ACTUALLY, SALT PART OF PART OF THE PART OF THE PRODUCT OF SALT, BUT THERE'S OTHER CHEMICAL IN IT, BUT IT IS THE SAME PRODUCT THAT IS USED AROUND THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT TO SPRAY THEIR UM LAKES MEANS OF MECHANICAL REMOVAL CONSULTANT TOLD ME THAT YOU COULD ACTUALLY PUT THE HOSE IN YOUR MOUTH AND DRINK IT. HOWEVER YOU WOULD NOT FIND IT TO BE PLEASANT WHEN IT'S NOT. YOU'RE WILLING TO TRY. IT MAY HAVE BEEN JUST A PERSONAL THING FIRST, BUT I'VE HEARD WHAT[00:30:07]
WE DID IS TOO BUT WHAT WE DID IS WE REMOVED LICE OF FATE. AND SO ALL OF ROUND OUT ROUNDUP CAME UP IN EXCHANGE FOR THAT THE CITY MOVED TO THIS OTHER PRODUCT THAT HAD THIS GELATIN THAT WAS A BLUISH COLOR THAT CAUSED THIS HEAVY, HEAVY SALINE SOLUTION TO STICK TO THOSE PLANTS ON THE EDGES OF THE POND THAT WOULD CAUSE THE SUN TO DRY THEM OUT AND BURN THEM ESSENTIALLY BECAUSE OF ASSAULT, AND THAT WAS USED. THAT WAS WHAT WAS ERADICATING THE GRASS AND OVERGROWTH AT THE EDGE OF THE PODS. THERE'S 22. RULES OF THUMB . ONE IS A NATURAL EDGE ALLOWS MORE WILDLIFE TURTLES DUCKS, ETCETERA CAN LIVE THERE. HOWEVER IN THIS PARTICULAR POND AT THE DOG PARK, THE SAILING CLUB THAT USES IT ARE THOSE REMOTE CONTROL. SALE BLIPS ARE LIKE THREE FT LONG EACH. THE SAILBOATS. THEY CAN'T GET THEM TO SHORE BECAUSE NOW THERE'S ABOUT A 10 FT WIDE BAND OF GRASS AND STUFF. THAT'S UNMAINTAINED THAT HAS GROWN UP THROUGH THE WATER AND IS STICKING OUT. AND THEY CAN'T MANAGE THE SAILBOATS THERE, AND WE HAVE NOT FOUND A MECHANICAL SOLUTION. OTHER THAN HAVING HUMANS GO DOWN THERE, AND MILTON SAID HE'LL DO IT. WE ACTUALLY CAN'T WE HAVE A CONTRACT WITH A COMPANY THAT ACTUALLY DOES THE ERADICATION FOR US? FOR ME. I WOULD JUST WANT MORE INFORMATION ON WHAT THE PRODUCT IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? SOUNDS TOTALLY REASONABLE. I COULD GIVE YOU THE PRODUCTS SAID YES TO DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT. OKAY AND MAINTENANCE IS ONE SUBJECT THAT CAME UP AT LENGTH. I WOULD LIKE THE MARINE RESOURCES COUNCIL TO WEIGH IN AND WHAT IS BEING USED AND WHAT THEY FOUND EFFECTIVE AND GEORGE ELIOT COMES IN. THERE WAS JOE AND THEN WE HAD SOUTH FLORIDA AND I THINK IT WAS SOMEBODY ELSE IN THE WORKING GROUP. I'M NOT SURE IF I'M READING INDUSTRIES ARE RESPONSIBLE OR NOT, BUT WE'LL CHECK OKAY, AND WE ARE STILL DOING THE PILOT PROJECT ON THE HOSPITAL POND TO SEE IF THERE'S ANOTHER AVENUE TO USE. CAN I, SINCE WE'RE DWAYNE AND I'M A MEMBER OF THE AUDUBON AND, UM I KNOW THAT WE'RE ALWAYS CONCERNED BECAUSE BIRDS AND OTHER PEOPLE COME TO THE WORLD PEOPLE. OTHER WILDLIFE COMES TO THE WATER AREA . AND SO YEAH, UM. MILTON WHATEVER HAS BEEN WORKING OR WHATEVER NEEDS TO HAPPEN, BUT I KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED WHEN THEY SEE CERTAIN THINGS ARE JUST THE PERCEPTION. JUST THINK POISON OR SOMETHING. SO YEAH.[APPROVAL OF AGENDA]
I'LL GET THE SHEET FOR INTENDED TO YOU GUYS AND YOU GUYS CAN GIVE ME YOUR INPUT. THANK YOU.OKAY SO CAN WE HAVE APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA APPROVAL? WE HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL OBJECTIVE BY COMMISSIONER BREWER SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER COLLINS ALL IN FAVOR. SAY AYE, AYE. MOTION
[COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC (3 Minutes Max.)]
CARRIES, OKAY, COMING FROM THE PUBLIC HAVE ONE GREEN CARD RIGHT NOW. ROBYN CARTWRIGHT. AND I'LL REMIND EVERYONE TO MAINTAIN STABILITY AND DIRECT ALL COMMENTS AT THE COMMISSION AS A WHOLE, NOT INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBERS. GOOD AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS. THANK YOU. AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER COMMISSIONER TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AS IS THEIR RIGHT TO SHARE UPDATES ABOUT COSTCO AND BRIGHT LINE. IT WAS TAPED WITH THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF BEING SHARED PUBLICLY ON A SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM. IN THIS CASE, YOUTUBE SOMEONE SAW THE CLIP AND SENT IT TO ME. I WATCHED THE WHOLE VIDEO REGARDLESS OF WHAT I SHARED WITH YOU ON THE DAIS. THERE WAS NO QUALIFIER THAT THE STATEMENTS WERE EXPRESSLY THAT PERSON'S OPINION AND THERE WAS A CHIRON AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN THAT, SAID CITY OF STEWART WHEN I BROUGHT UP THE CONCERN THAT PROCESS THAT THE PERCEPTION WAS THAT THIS COMMISSIONER WAS PRESUMABLY SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE CITY IN THE MISSTATEMENTS THAT WERE MADE I INCLUDED AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST AS TO WHY THIS APPEARANCE WAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. MY CONCERN TO ME WITH SUMMARILY DISMISSED AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS AN ISSUE FOR THE COMMISSION ON ETHICS IN TALLAHASSEE. THERE WAS A REQUIREMENT THAT THE PUBLIC ENGAGING IN ANY PROCESS WITH THE CITY THAT WE WILL BE HONEST, AND WE WILL ACT WITH INTEGRITY. YET THAT SAME REQUIREMENT IS NOT BEING ASKED OF EVERYBODY. THE REQUIREMENTS OF HONESTY AND INTEGRITY SHOULD BE FOR EVERYONE AND I POINT TO YOU. THE MANY REPORTS THAT HAVE BEEN CITED IS INCORRECT FROM THOSE WHO ARE DEEMED EXPERTS WHETHER THEIR STAFF OR DEVELOPER PAID CONSULTANTS. IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED TO ME THAT I AM SENSITIVE TO THE STATEMENTS BECAUSE OF THAT WHOLE COSTCO THING. AND THAT'S NOT TRUE. WHAT I AM SENSITIVE TO IS THE FACT THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT STANDARDS FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE, AND THAT'S NOT OKAY. IF NOTHING ELSE, THOSE ELECTED TO PUBLIC OFFICE SHOULD BE HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD, AS SHOULD THOSE WHO ARE APPOINTED TO THIS YEAR.A CRB OR THE L P. A. REGARDLESS WE CAN ARGUE AD NAUSEUM ABOUT WHO SHOULD ENFORCE A CODE OF CONDUCT. AS I UNDERSTAND IT. THE CITY ATTORNEY HAS OFFERED A CHANCE TO MEET WHICH WILL HOPEFULLY FACILITATE A PATH FORWARD. AND THIS IS WELCOMED IS THERE NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR COMMISSIONERS, STAFF COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND VENDORS. THERE IS NO SATISFACTORY MECHANISM CURRENTLY IN PLACE AT THIS TIME, WHICH SOMEONE CAN EXPRESS A CONCERN OVER A POSSIBLE VIOLATION OF THE CODE OF CONDUCT. I'M ASKING THE COMMISSION TO PLEASE CONSIDER
[00:35:03]
CREATING AN AD HOC COMMITTEE TO HEAR CONSTITUENTS CONCERNS HAVE THEY WERE REVIEWED BY AN INDEPENDENT SOURCE AND ULTIMATELY BETTER SERVE THOSE OF US WHO HAVE CONCERNS. THIS COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS A THREE PERSON PANEL WHO CAN REVIEW ALLEGED VIOLATIONS WITHOUT THE INFLUENCE FROM THOSE ELECTED OUR ON STAFF . THIS WAY CONCERNS AND COMPLAINTS COULD BE OBJECTIVELY REVIEWED AND PARTS FOR PROCESSING WHETHER THAT MEANS GOING TO THE CITY MANAGER FOR REVIEW. COMMUNICATION BACK TO THE PERSON MAKING THE ALLEGATION THAT IT DOESN'T MEAN THE REQUIRED MINIMUM OF A COMPLAINT OR ADVISING THE PERSON HOW TO FILE AN ETHICS COMPLAINT. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THIS WOULD REVIEW ALL POTENTIAL POLITICAL AND STAFF INFLUENCE AND OR MOTIVATION. I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS CONVERSATION AND FINDING A MEANINGFUL RESOLUTION. THANK YOU. OKAY. NEXT SPEAKER FRANK MCCHRYSTAL. GOOD EVENING EVENING. TO ENHANCE PUBLIC ACCESS AND PUBLIC VIEWS OF THE ST LUCIE RIVER WAS THE REASONING FOR THE IMPLEMENT IMPLEMENTATION OF POLICY 1.82 DOT ONE IN THE 2020 COMPLAINT. TEXT AMENDMENT DENSITY ALLOWANCES WERE ADDED TO THE LIST OF INNOVATIVE LAND DEVELOPMENT TECHNIQUES TO IMPLEMENT THIS OBJECTIVE. THIS LIST PREVIOUSLY 2020 DENSITY ALLOWANCE EDITION ALREADY INCLUDED. CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN USED DEVELOPMENTS, MIXED USES AND LIMITATIONS ON IMPERVIOUS SURFACES. ZIPPITY DOO DAH DAY JOB ONE DURING THIS TEMPORARY PAUSES TO REMOVE DENSITY ALLOWANCES FROM POLICY ONE DOT A 2.1 OF THE 2020 CAN'T PLAN TEXT AMENDMENT. WE NEED TO HAVE A FUTURE LAND USE PLAN THAT IS BULLETPROOF AND SAFE FROM THE P U D NEGOTIATIONS THAT HAVE CREATED THE ABOMINATION OF THE PAST FEW YEARS. WE THE RESIDENTS ARE NOT IMPRESSED WITH THE CITY'S NEGOTIATION SKILLS DURING THE P U D PROCESS. LET'S FACE IT. THE BIG BOYS WITH UNLIMITED FUNDS WILL KICK YOUR BUTT EVERY TIME IN ANY NEGOTIATION. IF YOU HAND THEM THE TOOLS THEY NEED. JOB TO REMOVE POLICY ONE DOT A SEVEN. THAT TOO, FROM THE 2020 COMPACT PLANT TEXT AMENDMENT. THIS ALLOWS ANY UNIT UNDER 900 SQUARE FEET TO BE CALCULATED AS A HALF UNIT. ON THE DENSITY CALCULATION AND I'LL ASK AGAIN ARE WE SURE IN REGARDS TO IMPACT FEES AND SCHOOL BOARD COMPLIANCY THAT THE DEVELOPER DOES NOT GET TO USE ONE HALF UNIT CALCULATION JOB? THREE WE MUST MAKE OUR LAND USE REGULATIONS IN REGARDS TO DENSITY, VERY SIMILAR TO MARTIN COUNTY'S CODES. SO IT IS NOT ADVANTAGEOUS FOR THE BIG DEVELOPERS TO USE A TRIED AND TRUE METHOD OF ANNEXATION TO GET THE HIGHER DENSITIES THEY DESIRE. THE NEXT TWO YEARS WILL SEEM NO DIFFERENT FROM THE ABOMINATION OF THE PREVIOUS FOUR CREATED BY THE YOUNG, PROGRESSIVE NO LONGER IN OFFICE. PROJECTS ALREADY APPROVED WITH THEIR VISION OF MANHATTAN SOUTH WHERE EVERYONE WALKS OR RIDES, BIKES TO WORK WILL BE COMPLETED.AND CONTINUE TO OVERWHELM THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE. THE HARDEST PART OF ANY TOUGH JOB IS GETTING STARTED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VOTES FOR THE LAST MEETING, WHICH SHOWED A COMMISSION FINALLY READY TO REPRESENT THE EXISTING CITIZENS AND THEIR VOICE. AS WE GO FORWARD, PLEASE RECOGNIZE THE GLOBAL ROOTS OF THE PROGRESSIVE MINDSET THAT HAS A ONE SIZE FITS ALL PLAN FOR OUR COMMUNITY. STOP TRUSTING THE SO CALLED EXPERTS, FOR INSTANCE, IN 2017 REPORT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY ORDERED BY RCR, A WRONGLY STATED THAT MORE HOUSING OF ALL TYPES WOULD BOTH ALLEVIATE TRAFFIC AND RELIEVE PRESSURE ON RISING RENTAL RATES. WE ALL SEE WHERE THAT EXPERT ADVICE GODDESS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT. SAYING NONE WILL MOVE ON ONE OKAY? THANK YOU. IT'S FRANKLIN. GOOD EVENING. YOU GUYS HEAR ME? OKAY GIVE ME JUST ONE MINUTE. UM AND I'M JUST COMING IN TODAY TO TALK ABOUT THE BRIGHT LINE SITUATION EARLIER THIS YEAR. WE AS A COMMUNITY APPROACH THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS CONCERNING THE FLORIDA AVENUE DIXIE HIGHWAY REAL ROCK CROSS RAILROAD CROSSING, AND TONIGHT I HEAR THAT THERE'S INTERESTING CONCERNS ON THE MONTEREY CROSSING AND THE CONFUSION, CORNER CROSSING, SO LOOKS LIKE THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH ALL OF STEWART. BUT WE CAME BEFORE YOU GUYS AND WE EXPRESSED THE DANGERS THAT SURROUND THAT INTERSECTION FOR ALL PEOPLE FOR THE WALKERS, THE CYCLISTS, THE DISABLED DRIVERS, YOUNG AND OLD. BRIGHT LINE, GET A PRESENTATION , PROUD TO PUBLIC COMMENTS AND LEFT. THEY REFUSED TO STAY AND LISTEN TO US. BUT JUST A DAY AFTER SOME COMMUNITY PRESSURE WAS APPLIED, BUT NOT SURE THAT THEY LISTEN. WE WERE INFORMED
[00:40:05]
THAT AGREEMENT WITH BRIGHT LINE HAD BEEN REACHED AND THAT THAT INTERSECTION WOULD BE REDESIGNED OR TOUCHED UP. TO MAKE IT SAFE FOR THE RESIDENTS. WE'RE HERE WE ARE AGAIN AND NOW BRIGHT LINE WILL AND HAS BEGUN TESTING THOSE INTERSECTIONS AS SPEEDS OF OVER 100 AND 10 MPH. SO AGAIN, I SAY THAT IT IS SECTION IS AN ACCIDENT DEATH TRAP WAITING TO HAPPEN. AND WHEN THE FAMILY WILL BE WARNING ANSWERS, EVERYONE WOULD BE POINTING FINGERS AT EACH OTHER. SO I'M HOPING AND THAT SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN. STRAIGHTENING OUT ALL OF OUR INNER STATION BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENED AND THIS BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS WHO'S EVER SITTING AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME WE HAVE TO GIVE FAMILIES ANSWER. AND I CAN ALMOST HONESTLY SAY RIGHT NOW YOU WON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS TO GIVE THEM. BUT BRIGHT LINE WILL PUT THE FINGER ON YOU. AND A SPORT AS I HEARD TONIGHT, BRINGING PRAYER BACK BEFORE THE CITY COMMISSION MEETINGS. AS UNCOMFORTABLE. IT IS. YOU WOULD FEEL. BRINGING PRAYER BACK. I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE. BUT THE FACT THAT YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE WITH HAVING CAREER BEFORE COMMISSIONER MEETING AND THAT'S JUST MISSED FIELD. YOU DON'T HAVE A GREAT EVENING. OKAY. THANK YOU, MR BRINKLEY. QUICKLY. YEAH. MISS HALL. BRING VERY GOOD[CONSENT CALENDAR]

YES COMMISSIONER BRUNER. YES MCDONALD, COMMISSIONER COLLINS[3. HOUSING SOLUTIONS COUNCIL LAND LEASE - ON 10/19/2022, APPLICANT CANCELLED RESOLUTION FROM BEING HEARD ON THE 10/24/2022 CITY COMMISSION MEETING: RESOLUTION No. 96-2022; A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE A LAND LEASE BETWEEN THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA AND HOUSING SOLUTIONS COUNCIL; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSESS.]
AND COMMISSIONER RICH YES. OKAY MOVING ON TO ITEM THREE THAT'S BEEN PULLED, WHICH WAS THE[4. AMERICAN TOWER LEASE AGREEMENT (RC): RESOLUTION No. 102-2022; A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AMENDMENT TO LEASE BETWEEN THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA AND AMERICAN TOWER; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSESS.]
HOUSING SOLUTIONS COUNCIL LANDLESS SO WE CAN MOVE RIGHT ON TO ITEM FOUR. MIKE WOULD YOU READ THE RESOLUTION FOUR? THIS IS RESOLUTION NUMBER 102-202 TO A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AMENDMENT TO THE LEAST BETWEEN THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA AND AMERICAN TOWER, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. I BELIEVE I'M THE ONE HANDLING IT. I WAS CONTACTED BY AMERICAN TOWER. I CONSULTED WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND PLACED IT ON THE CITY ON THE MEETING. THE CITY ALREADY HAS A LEASE IN PLACE. THAT'S A LONG TERM LEASE. UM FOR THE TOWER THAT'S OVER BY WALGREENS UP OF EAST OCEAN BOULEVARD, EFFECTIVELY THIS AGENDA ITEM MADE A COUPLE OF CHANGES TO THAT LEASE. THE FIRST WAS THAT WHEN THE LEASE WAS FIRST DONE, THE CITY COMMISSION HAD A STANDARD FORM THAT SAID THEY HAD THEY HAD TO. GET PERMISSION FROM THE CITY COMMISSION IN ADVANCE OF ADDING ANY OTHER CARRIERS ONTO THE ATTEND ANTENNA AT THE TIME, IT WAS KIND OF THE INITIAL STAGES OF CELLULAR TELEPHONES, AND NOBODY KNEW HOW IT WAS GOING TO WORK OR NOT WORK. SINCE THEN, THEY HAVE NEVER HAD A REQUEST THAT WAS DENIED TO ADD SOMEONE, AND THEY'VE LOST TWO OPPORTUNITIES TO ADD SUB TENANTS BECAUSE DURING THE TIME THAT THEY HAVE TO GO BACK TO US AND WAIT FOR A MEETING. THE SUB TENANTS CAN NEGOTIATE WITH SOMEBODY ELSE AND MAY OR MAY NOT END UP SOMEWHERE ELSE. BUT THEY'RE ASKING IS FOR US TO WAIVE THAT REQUIREMENT AND ALLOW THEM TO ADD SUB TENANTS. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE MASTER LEASE ADDING THESE SUB TENANTS DOES NOT CHANGE THE PHYSICAL MAKE UP OF THE ANTENNA. IT JUST ALLOWS THEM TO CARRY DATA FOR THESE OTHER ENTITIES AND CHARGE THEM. OUR FEAST SPLIT WITH THE MASTER.LEASE. WILL BE THE SAME AS EVERY SUBTENANT. SO WE GET 16% OF THE REVENUE. IF THEY HAD A SUBTENANT WILL GET 16% OF ANY REVENUE WITH THAT SUBTENANT CARRIED FORWARD. THE OTHER ISSUE THAT THEY HAD WAS. THEY'VE EXPRESSED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE DESIRE TO BUY THIS ANTENNA FROM THE CITY. AND IT'S KIND OF MORE OF THOSE TELEPHONE GAMES WHERE THEY REACH OUT TO SOMEBODY AND STAFF OR REACH OUT TO ME, AND THEN I HAVE TO TALK TO HIM, AND I DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO SAY NO. SO THEN I HAVE TO GO TO THE CITY MANAGER. AND THEN WE ULTIMATELY DISCUSS IT WITH THE BOARD IN THE CITY COMMISSION HAS NO INTEREST IN SELLING THE PROPERTY AND THEN IT'S THIS PROCESS, AND THERE'S
[00:45:02]
NO INDICATION THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE ANY TIME SOON THAT THE CITY WANTS TO DIVEST ITSELF OF THE PROPERTY. SO THEY SIMPLY ASKED SO THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO KEEP MONITORING IT IF THE CITY WOULD GIVE THEM A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. WHICH WOULD IS WHAT THIS WOULD BE. THAT WOULD MEAN THAT IF YOU EVER WENT OUT AND WANTED TO SELL THIS PROPERTY. DO A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS AND IF COMPANY B CAME IN AND OFFERED YOU KNOW, $100 AMERICAN TOWER COULD OUTBID THEM BY $1 IN THE TWO COULD GO BACK AND FORTH AND DRIVE THE PRICE UP IF THEY WERE INCLINED, ULTIMATELY LEAVING THE CITY WITH WHAT WOULD AMOUNT TO BE A HIGHER NET RETURN ON THE SALE ANYWAY.MY RECOMMENDATION IS THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL IS NOT INHERENTLY UNFAIR. IT DOESN'T COST THE CITY ANYTHING. IT CREATES A MORE COMPETITIVE EDGE WHEN IT COMES TIME TO SELL THE PROPERTY BECAUSE ALTHOUGH WE MIGHT FEEL LIKE A VALUE IS A NUMBER THAT THIRD PARTY IS OFFERING US BY HAVING TO GO BACK TO THEM AND GIVE THIS NUMBER TO THEM. THEY MAY INCREASE OR SAY IT'S TOO LOW OR WHATEVER. AND IT WOULD CAUSE THAT, UH MORE EXPERTISE TO BE PARTICIPATING IN THE SAIL AGAIN. NOT THAT IT'S A SALE THAT'S EVER HAPPENING. ESSENTIALLY IN EXCHANGE FOR US AGREEING TO THOSE TERMS THEY HAVE AGREED. TO PAY A 25 $100 AMENDMENT ADMINISTRATION FEE, WHICH WAS NOT. LIFE CHANGING MONEY, BUT IT'S ALSO NOT A SHARP STICK IN THE EYE. ANY COMMENTS ON THE COMMISSIONER'S RIGHT TO REFUSAL, SORT OF LOCKED HIM IN AT THAT PRICE IT'S BEEN OFFERED . ARE THEY ABLE TO SAY OH, WE'LL DO IT FOR 100 BUCKS. THEY CAN KNOW WHAT IT IS. IS THAT IF YOU FIND SOMEBODY WILLING TO BUY THE PROPERTY AND THEY OFFER YOU A MILLION DOLLARS AND YOU SAY, OKAY, WE'RE CONSIDERING ACCEPTING A MILLION DOLLARS BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO SELL IT TO COMPANY B. WE'RE AGREEING TO GO TO AMERICAN TOWER AND SAYING HEY, AMERICAN BEE IS OFFERING US A MILLION BUCKS AND WE'RE GOING TO SELL TO AMERICA AND COMPANY B UNLESS YOU CAN BEAT THE MILLION DOLLARS AND OF COURSE, IF AMERICAN TOWER BEAT THE MILLION DOLLARS WE COULD GO BACK TO COMPANY B AND SAY, LOOK, WE HAVE THIS RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. THEY'VE PAID A MILLION ONE.
UNLESS YOU CAN BEAT THE MILLION ONE. WE'RE GOING TO SELL IT TO AMERICAN TOWER AND AGAIN LOCKS A MINUTE, A MILLION ONE IN A WAY, NO, IT WOULD FIRST WHATEVER YOU LOCK IT IN AT THE FIRST SALE LIKE IT'S IF YOU'RE ALREADY SELLING. TO SOMEONE ELSE AT A NUMBER. THEY WANT THE RIGHT TO OFFER YOU MORE THAN THAT, AND THEY WANTED TO BE IN THE CONTRACT TO SAY, LOOK WELL. WILL WILL BEAT THAT OFFER AND IF NOT SELL IT TO FIRST GUY FOR THE PRICE YOU WANTED IN THE FIRST PLACE. BUT THE REALITY IS THAT THAT IT'LL PROBABLY DO TWO THINGS. IT PROBABLY HAS THE EFFECT. TO MAKE IT SO THAT WE DON'T GET UNSOLICITED OFFERS FROM COMPANY B BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO KNOW THAT AMERICAN TOWER HAS A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL WHICH AMERICAN TOWER LIKES, BUT IT ALSO GIVES AMERICAN TOWER THE RIGHT TO INCREASE THAT BIT. IF WE EVER WERE TO SELL IT, I CAN TELL YOU IN THE LAST 20 YEARS. THERE'S BEEN THREE AGENDA ITEMS WHERE THE CITY COMMISSION HAD NEVER GOT EVEN TO APPRAISAL NEVER EVEN GOT INTO A PURCHASE PRICE NUMBER . NEVER EVEN GOT ANYTHING WHERE AMERICAN TOWER WANTED TO BUY IT OUT FOR THE BALANCE OF THE LEASE OR WHATEVER. AND THE COMMISSION JUST SAID WE'RE NOT INTERESTED IN SELLING WHAT WOULD BE THE LIABILITY OF SAYING NO. YOU LOSE YOU INCREASE YOU LOSE THE $2500 AND THE CONTRACT STAYS THE SAME.
OKAY? ANY OTHER COMMENTS. CAN YOU SHARE RICH. OKAY, MR CLARK. MR MORE CHILL. I JUST WANTED TO ASK THIS JUST TO BE SHIPPED SURE WHERE THE CONTRACT STANDS. SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT BACK IN 1998 AND THEN THAT'S SUPPOSED TO TERMINATE AFTER 20 YEARS AND THEN ALSO, THERE'S A RENEWAL PERIOD FOR ANOTHER ADDITIONAL 10 YEAR 25 YEAR PERIODS. THAT'S WHERE WE ARE NOW WITH THIS, UM AMENDED LEASE AND HOW MANY OTHER AMENDED LEASES HAVE WE HAD IN BETWEEN? THIS ORIGINAL 1998 AND THIS ONE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO NOW. I JUST WANT TO BE SURE. I'M NOT AWARE THAT OKAY, SO WE HAVE LEASED ITEM NUMBER ONE BE COMMENCEMENT IN TERM OF LEASE. I THINK IT'S LINE SEVEN. UM I KNOW I KNOW WHAT YOUR QUESTION IS. YES WE'RE IN THAT 10 YEAR OPTION . UH YOUR TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION OF ANY OTHER AMENDED LEASES. I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY.
OKAY SO THIS IS THE ONLY SAID NOTHING ACKNOWLEDGES. I DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS THING ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS IS WITHIN THE RENEWAL PERIOD OF UP TO AN ADDITIONAL 10 YEAR BECAUSE THERE WAS A TERMINATION PERIOD. FOR 20 YEARS AFTER THE COMMENCEMENT DATE. YOU SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? 1 8018. THEY EXERCISE THE FIVE YEAR OPTION. SO THEN THAT WAS AN AMENDMENT ADDITION. BUT THAT'S NOT AN AMENDMENT TO THE LEAST THAT IS IN THE FIRST LEAGUE. EXERCISE IT YEAH. SO AT 10 YEARS ARE THEY GOING TO TERMINATE NOW AFTER THIS 10 YEAR TIME PERIOD? DO WE
[00:50:02]
NEED TO PUT SOME OTHER ADDITIONAL? I'M JUST ASKING. I'M JUST TRYING TO DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THEIR PLANS ARE AT THE END OF THE 10 YEARS. I KNOW THEY'D BUY IT FROM YOU RIGHT NOW, IF YOU IF YOU WERE WILLING TO SELL IT, BUT I TOLD HIM THAT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY INDICATION THAT THAT WAS THE CASE. AND I KNOW THAT THIS WAS PROBABLY TOO LATE. BUT I DID ASK THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT TO GIVE ME SOME NUMBERS. AND I HEAR THAT THERE'S AN EMAIL. I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO SEE IT BUT SHOWING FROM BACK IN 1998 AND JUST HOW WE'VE INCREMENTALLY WHAT THE CITY IS RECEIVING FROM THAT OR FROM THE SUB LEASES, WHATEVER THE AMOUNT IS, AND IT'S PROBABLY RIGHT NOW AVERAGING ABOUT $40,000 A YEAR TO THE CITY. UH AND I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY SUB LEASES ARE THERE, BUT THAT'S WHAT THE MONEY THAT THE CITY IS GETTING PARAGRAPH C LEASE PAYMENT. YES, SIR.COMMENCING IN 1998. THE LESSEE SHALL PAY RENT TO THE LESSER OF 16% OF ALL REVENUE RECEIVED. SO WHAT THEY'VE DONE IS THEY SELL. AIRWAVES ESSENTIALLY. AND THEY PROVIDE OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT WITH THEIR AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF THE COMMUNICATIONS ACTS. IT'S ALL PUBLIC RECORD. IT'S NOT LIKE THERE'S ANY ABILITY TO PLAY ANY GAMES. THEY GIVE THE REAL NUMBERS TO FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND THEY'VE BEEN PAYING US 16. THEY WANT TO. BE MORE COMPETITIVE WHEN IT COMES TO BEING ABLE TO SELL MORE SPACE TO OTHER VENDORS, AND THEY PART OF THAT PROBLEM WAS IN THE PAST, I GUESS COMING TO US AND GETTING PERMISSION. WHEN I TALKED TO THE CITY MANAGER ABOUT IT AND SAID, REALISTICALLY IF I WALKED IN HERE RIGHT NOW, AND I SAID TO THE BOARD HEY, THEY WANT TO KNOW IF THEY CAN SUBLEASE. DATA TO T MOBILE. LIKE I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYBODY ON THE BOARD THAT WOULD HAVE ANY REAL TECHNICAL EXPERTISE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THAT WAS A THING OR NOT LIKE I'M NOT SURE WHAT WE WOULD BE EVALUATING AS TO WHETHER THEY SHOULD SUBLEASE IT OR NOT, SO TO ME, IT WAS REALLY A FORMALITY OF JUST DELAY. TO LET THEM BE ON AN AGENDA ITEM UNLESS I REALLY THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING BECAUSE IF THEY WERE GIVING THE INTENDED TO ANOTHER PARTY LIKE OUR PROPERTY LEASES WHERE THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO ASSIGN IT TO SOMEONE ELSE. THEN WE WANT TO BE THERE AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IN THE BOARD NEEDS TO LOOK AT WHO'S GOING TO TAKE OVER. BUT THESE SUB LEASES ARE NOT THEM, ASSIGNING THE LEAST TO A THIRD PARTY. THIS IS THEM REMAINING 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING REMAINING COMPLETELY UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT JUST WHEN THEY ADD A CARRIER TO THE ANTENNA. THEY DON'T NEED TO GO THROUGH THE FORMALITY OF HIRING THE LAWYER TO PUT THIS STUFF TOGETHER TO SEND IT TO US TO HAVE AN AGENDA ITEM AND IF, IN FACT I THOUGHT WE HAD SOME MEANINGFUL EVALUATION METHOD. I MIGHT EVEN CONSIDER US SAYING WE'LL DO THAT. BUT I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WE WOULD LOOK AT, LIKE WHAT WE WOULD USE TO DECIDE WHETHER IT WAS A GOOD SUBTENANT OR NOT, BECAUSE THE AMOUNT DOESN'T CHANGE. IT'S ALREADY IN THE LEASE. AND I KNOW THAT I HEAR YOU. I KNOW THAT THE LEASE INCORPORATES AGAIN THE OLD LANGUAGE. UM THAT HASN'T BEEN CHANGED BY THE AMENDMENT. BUT ON THE ON ITEM NUMBER D AFTER YOU LOOKED AT THE SEA LEASE AGREEMENT, THE RIO PINAR, DO WE HAVE A REOPEN ER STATEMENT IN THIS NEW THING? I DIDN'T SEE ONE. SO AGAIN. I TALKED ABOUT THE TERMINATION AND WHAT THE 10 YEAR TIME PERIOD. IS IT? IS IT GOOD TO HAVE A REAL OPENER STATEMENT? IN THIS CURRENT AMENDMENT TO SAY THAT WHEN THEY'RE UP TO THE 10 YEAR, BECAUSE THIS, YOU KNOW DO YOU THINK WE NEED TO DO THAT, SO THAT AT LEAST IT GIVES A LIMITATION AND GUIDANCE RIGHT NOW. IF THEY DON'T REOPEN IT, IT CAN LEAD IT CAN TERMINATE IN. THE COMMISSION'S NOT BOUND TO ANYTHING IF WE ADD TO REOPEN, AND WE PUT CONDITIONS ON THAT REOPENING, AND THEN WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THEM. SO IT'S UP TO YOU GUYS WE CAN, IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR THAT YOU WANT TO INCLUDE MR CLARK, BECAUSE YOU HAVE A REASON TO PUT THAT IN BECAUSE, LIKE COMMISSIONER COMMISSIONER MR MARTEL SAID. AH, THE AH! RIGHT NOW. WE'RE NOT BOUND TO ANYTHING. WHY WOULD WE BIND OURSELVES NOW? WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE COMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY IS GOING TO BE IN OR MAYBE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES BESIDES THE AMERICAN TOWER 10 YEARS FROM NOW , I WON'T BE HERE, SO THIS GIVES THEM A CHANCE IN THIS RE OPENER THAT PRIOR TO THE 15TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE COMMENCEMENT DATE. THEY HAVE 90 DAYS TO DECIDE IF THEY'RE GOING TO KEEP THE LEASE OR NOT. SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT THE LEASE WILL JUST LAPS AFTER THIS? THIS THIS NEW FIVE AND FIVE YEAR PERIOD. THE REALITY OF IT IS IT IS. THE 15TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE COMMENCEMENT DATE WAS 2013 KNOW THAT THEY EXERCISE THAT. THAT HAPPENED. THEY EXTENDED IT OR IT MAY HAVE BEEN 2008. WE HAVE 2013 AND THEY
[00:55:02]
SAID. WE WANT TO CONTINUE IT AND THEN THEY'VE EXERCISED THESE OPTIONS. SO NOW IF THEY WANTED ANOTHER REOPEN. ER, THE ONLY ONE THAT THEY COULD POSSIBLY HAVE WOULD BE ONE. AND I GUESS 2023 BECAUSE THAT LAST FIVE YEAR OPTION WOULD REQUIRE THEM TO TELL US WITHIN 90 DAYS WITHIN 90 DAYS OR UH UM. I'M NOT SURE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN LIKE IN THIS. IT SAYS MAY GIVE NOTICE TO THE LESSEE. THIS WAS US. LESTER MAY GIVE NOTICE TO THE LESSEE OF THE INTENT OF THE LESS OR TO RENEGOTIATE THE AMOUNT OF THE LEASE PAYMENT. SO IF WE SAID. BACK TO THEM. WE WANT A NEW TERM THAT SAYS WE'RE GOING TO RENEGOTIATE THE LEASE PAYMENT. THEY'RE JUST GOING TO SAY NO, THANK YOU. I MEAN, THEY'RE NOT GONNA FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS UNLESS YOU WANT TO EXTEND THE LEASE? FOR ANOTHER 15 OR 20 YEARS. I'D BE HAPPY TO GO BACK TO THEM. AND IF YOU DON'T TREAT IT AS A REOPEN ER AND SAY, HEY, THE COMMISSION WANTS TO RENEGOTIATE THESE LEAST TERMS. YOU ONLY HAVE FIVE YEARS LEFT ON THIS LEASE. HOW ABOUT WE HAVE A REOPEN AND HAVE THAT DISCUSSION ? I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT. IF THAT'S THE INCLINATION, I JUST WANT TO BRING IT UP SO THAT WE'RE ALL CLEAR WHERE WE STAND AND YES, IT'S AT SOME POINT. THAT'S PROBABLY A DISCUSSION.THAT THAT YOU KNOW, WOULD NEED TO HAPPEN BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF THE LEASE, WHICH IS, I GUESS AT THIS 0.6 YEARS FROM NOW. THANK YOU. MR MAYOR? YEAH. COMMISSIONER CLARK. I MEAN, WE HAVE WHAT THEY WANT. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THE COMMUNICATION. CORRECTLY POINTS OUT. WHY WOULD WE WANT TO RESTRICT OUR ABILITY TO NEGOTIATE WITH THEM. AND MR MARTEL MAKES THE OTHER IMPORTANT PART BECAUSE OUR FEE IS BASED ON A PERCENTAGE IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE FACT THAT THESE ARE BASICALLY PUBLIC DISCLOSURES IN TERMS OF THE REVENUE THEY RECEIVED BY WOULD BE UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT YOU KNOW, THEY CAN'T REALLY FUDGE THAT DATA. AND SO, YOU KNOW. OUR CONTRACT WITH THEM IS FAIR IN MY MIND. SO DO WE HAVE EMOTION? MOTION APPROVED. SECOND TO HAVE A 2ND 2ND 2ND APPLY COMMISSIONER RICH ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE MOTION? SAYING NONE WOULD YOU CALL THE ROLE PLAYS? COMMISSIONER CLARK YES, COMMISSIONER BURNER? YES, COMMISSIONER RICH. YES MACDONALD COMMISSIONER COLLINS. YES ALRIGHT, SITTING BETWEEN TWO ATTORNEYS.

IT'S LISTED UNDER SECOND READING IN THE CITY. UM AGENDA, BUT IT'S NOTED THAT IT'S JUST A SINGLE READING ITEM. THE REASON IT'S UNDER THE SECOND READING IS TO SHOW THE FINALITY OF IT AND THAT THIS IS THE LAST READING. AND UH , FUNNY. ARE YOU GOING TO OTHER? TAKE THIS FOR US? YES, MAYOR FOR THE RECORD, BUT THANK YOU FOR THE RECORD. BONNIE LANDRY, AND I JUST WANTED TO FIRST SAY THIS IS THREE YEARS IN THE MAKING. UM I KNOW THAT THE CITY IS VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE HAVING A NEW FIRE STATION. SO WE'RE HAPPY TO HELP THAT THROUGH, SO THIS PARTICULAR ITEM IS TO CHANGE THE SMART CHANGE THE FUTURE LAND USE. AS STATED BEFORE. FROM UH FROM A P U D TWO PUBLIC, WHICH IS THE APPROPRIATE LAND USE FOR A FIRE STATION. FOR THE RECORD. I DO WANT TO STATE THAT THE CITY AS THE APPLICANT DID PROVIDE THE PROPER NOTICE WITH THE SIGN AND A MAILING TO ALL THE PEOPLE WITHIN 300 FT OF THE SUBJECT SITE. THE LOCATION IS ON SOUTHEAST GREEN RIVER PARKWAY, JUST SOUTH OF NORTHEAST JENSEN BEACH BOULEVARD, AND IT'S ON A SITUATED ON 1.78 ACRES OF LAND. AS STATED BEFORE THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO DESIGNATE THE PROPERTY PUBLIC TO PROVIDE FOR A LOCATION FOR FIRE STATION NUMBER THREE UM, VERY HAPPY TO SAY IT'S GOING TO PROVIDE VALUABLE LIFE SAFETY SERVICES TO THE CITY[01:00:05]
RESIDENTS NORTH OF THE ROOSEVELT BRIDGE. AND IT WILL ALSO SERVE TO IMPROVE THE RESPONSIVENESS OF LIFE SAFETY SERVICES TO THE CITY. CURRENTLY THE FUTURE LAND USE. MULTI FAMILY TO THE SOUTH TO SEE WHAT'S IN THE AREA NEIGHBORHOOD SPECIAL TO THE WEST AND COUNTY LAND, FUTURE LAND USE OF COMMERCIAL GENERAL AND THE STATE DENSITY. UM AS PART OF THIS APPLICATION AND LOOKING AT THE APPLICATION, WE WANTED TO LOOK FOR POLICIES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT WOULD SUPPORT THIS CHANGE OF FUTURE LAND USE POLICY. A 7.1 POINT F. AH TALKS ABOUT PUBLIC FACILITIES AND USES THAT WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL COMMUNITY WELFARE . I WOULD SAY IF OUR STATION WOULD MEET THAT NEED POLICY A 1E OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS , AND ONE OF THOSE ONE OF THOSE PRIORITIES WOULD BE PROVIDE SERVICE TO DEVELOP AREAS LACKING FULL SERVICE THAT PROVIDES ADDITIONAL LIFE SAFETY, UH, SERVICES TO THOSE NORTH OF THE ROOSEVELT BRIDGE. ALSO THERE'S ANOTHER POLICY RELATED TO THE FIVE YEAR PUBLIC FACILITY WHERE PROGRAMS AND AGAIN, THIS FACILITY IS PRIORITIZED BECAUSE IT PROVIDES VITAL LIFE SAFETY SERVICES, AND THAT MAKES IT A PRIORITY FOR THOSE SERVICES NORTH OF THE BRIDGE. WE ALSO LOOKED AT COMPATIBILITY AND WE DO HAVE THREE RENDERINGS OF WHAT THE NEW FIRST STATION WILL LOOK LIKE. AND WE BELIEVE THAT IT DOES SUPPORT COMPATIBILITY AS REQUIRED IN POLICY. ONE B 32. AH THE FUTURE FIRE STATIONS.ARCHITECTURE IS DESIGNED TO BE HARMONIOUS WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA. SO HERE'S ONE VIEW OF THE RENDERING ANOTHER VIEW OF THE RENDERING. AND THEN THE LAST ONE, SO IT'S BASICALLY A GREAT BUILDING WITH THE GREEN ACCENT TO ATTRIBUTE TO THE BRANDING AT THE FIRE STATION HAS IN PLACE.
SO SHORT PRESENTATION, BUT THIS PROPOSED LAND USE IS COMPATIBLE WITH AND COMPLEMENTARY TO THE ADJACENT USES, UM IT WILL PROVIDE VITAL LIFE SAFETY SERVICES TO THE NORTHERN PART OF THE CITY. AND BASED ON STAFF ANALYSIS AND SUBJECT TO THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED BY THE APPLICANT, WHICH IS THE CITY OF STEWART STAFF CONFIRMS THAT THIS PROPOSAL IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY'S CONFERENCE THAT PLAN AND THEREFORE RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE FUTURE LAND USE MAPS CHANGE FROM COMMERCIAL TO PUBLIC.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WHILE YOU'RE TESTIFYING, YOU WERE UNDER OATH. AND IF YOU COULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORDS OF THE CLERK AND PROPERLY DOCUMENT THOSE TESTIFYING WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. OKAY AND BONNIE, ARE YOU HANDING THIS ONE? I AM AND WE DO WE ALREADY WE DO HAVE A LIST GOING AROUND TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TESTIFYING FOR THE CLERKS WILL TURN THAT IN AFTER THE MEETING. SO I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF WHY JOHNSON HONDA IS DOING THIS AMENDMENT TO THE P U D, UM THEY ARE GOING TO CHANGE THE WAY THEY STORE THEIR INVENTORY AND STORED IN A VERTICAL WAY, SO IT DOESN'T TAKE UP AS MUCH. PAVEMENT. SO UM, THEY'RE GOING UP INSTEAD OF OUT AND THEY THEY'RE DOING THIS ANTICIPATION OF WHEN, UH, THE INVENTORIES WILL BE BACK UP TO NORMAL STANDARD BECAUSE I THINK PEOPLE KNOW BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC. IT'S NOT LIKE THAT. BUT THIS IS AN ANTICIPATION OF WHEN THOSE INVENTORIES WILL BE UP. SO THEY'RE JUST THIS JUST SHOWS THE LOCATION ON US ONE. IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED COMMERCIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT. UM IT HAS THE FUTURE LAND USE THAT'S PROPER COMMERCIAL. AND FOR THE RECORD, THE APPLICANT DID PROVIDE THE REQUIRED NOTICE REQUIREMENTS PROVIDED SIGNAGE AT THE SUBJECT SITE, AND THEY ALSO PROVIDED AN AFFIDAVIT STATING THAT THEY HAD MAILED NOTICES TO PROPERTIES WITHIN 300 FT OF THE SUBJECT PARCEL. SO JUST A LITTLE OVERVIEW OF UM YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE THIS IS A THE ELEVATIONS TO SHOW YOU THE HEIGHT. UM, OF THE HIGHEST, UH, LEVEL OF THE BUILDING IS 42 FT AND SIX INCHES, WHICH IS WITHIN THE REQUIRED, YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T EXCEED OUR HEIGHT LIMITS. UM THEY PROVIDED SIGNAGE , WHICH IS ALSO COMPLIANT. UH THE ALLOWABLE SIGNAGE IS HAS TO BE LESS THAN 4.5% OF THE FACE OF WHERE THOSE SIGNS ARE GOING. AND THEY'RE BOTH WITHIN THOSE STANDARDS AS WELL. AND OVERALL SITE PLAN, AND I KNOW IT'S SMALL, SO I HAVE A COUPLE OF THE DETAILS BLOWN UP ON FUTURE SLIDES. BUT THERE'S THE SITE PLAN. THEY MADE ALL OF THE SETBACKS THAT ARE REQUIRED. AS YOU KNOW, SETBACKS INCREASE AS YOU GO UP. BUT ALL OF THEIR SETBACKS ARE WITHIN THE REQUIRED STANDARDS, SO THEY DO MAKE CODE.ALSO UM, IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE CORNER IS GOING TO WORK. I DON'T THINK IT WILL. BUT UM, AS I HAD SAID IN THE INTRODUCTION, THE GREAT THING ABOUT THE PARKING GARAGE IS THAT THEY'RE GOING UP AND NOT OUT. THEREFORE BY THE END OF THIS PROJECT, THEY HAVE ACTUALLY INCREASED THE IMPERVIOUS AND DECREASED. YOU KNOW THE AMOUNT OF CONCRETE IF YOU WILL. MORE OPEN SPACE AND MORE DRAINAGE. BETTER DRAINAGE. UM SO. THE PARKING THAT THEY PROVIDED.
GARAGE A WILL HAVE 319 SPACES. GARAGE B WILL HAVE 492 SPACES. PARKING GARAGE IS PHASE ONE PARKING. GARAGE B IS PHASE TWO. SO WHEN THE ENTIRE PROPERTY IS BUILT OUT, THEY'LL HAVE 811 SPACES FOR INVENTORY. THIS WAS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT TO DEMONSTRATE THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE VICINITY OF WHERE OTHER BUILDINGS ARE, IT IS WITHIN SCALE OF OTHER LOCATIONS ON US ONE. UM, AND THIS EXHIBIT JUST SHOWS SOME OF THE LANDSCAPING THAT YOU'LL SEE TO HELP. UH, YOU KNOW, COMPLEMENT THE BUILDING. AS I SAID, BEFORE THEY MEET THE SETBACKS AND THE STANDARDS IN THE ZONING CODE, HOWEVER, BECAUSE IT'S REDEVELOPMENT, THEY'RE REQUESTING A WAIVER. UM THEY WERE BUILT BEFORE THIS REQUIREMENT WAS IN THE CODE. BUT NOW YOU MUST PROVIDE 50% OF YOUR LANDSCAPE WITHIN THE SITE INSTEAD OF ON THE OUTSIDE. AND IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO DO WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT PLANS, SO THEY'RE ASKING FOR A WAIVER FROM THAT PARTICULAR REQUIREMENT. UM THE MET ON OCTOBER 13TH AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, YOU KNOW, UNANIMOUSLY OF THE SUBJECT PARTITION AND RECOMMENDED THE CITY COMMISSION APPROVE IT WITH THE ADDITION OF THE STANDARD DEVELOPMENT CONDITIONS, WHICH WE ADDED AND, UM, WE DID CHANGE ONE OF THE CONDITIONS SINCE YOUR PACKET WENT OUT. THE STANDARD BUILD OUT IS TWO YEARS. BUT BECAUSE THIS PROJECT IS SPACE, WHERE THEY BUILT THE FIRST BUILDING, AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO WHITE AND BUILD THE SECOND ONE INSTEAD OF BUILDING IT ALL AT THE SAME TIME. WE GAVE THEM A TIMETABLE OF, UH THREE YEARS FOR PHASE ONE AND FIVE YEARS FOR PHASE TWO. FIVE YEARS FROM THE BEGINNING, SO IT WILL BE BUILT OUT IN FIVE YEARS IS WHAT THEY'RE REQUESTING. SO IN CONCLUSION STAFF RECOMMENDS
[01:10:01]
APPROVAL OF THIS ORDINANCE, UH, TO INCLUDE THE WAIVER OF THAT 50% INTERNAL LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENT. AND TO INCLUDE THE BUILD OUT DATE. WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM YOUR PACKET TO BE THREE YEARS FOR PHASE ONE AND FIVE YEARS FOR PHASE TWO. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.OKAY. THANK YOU, BONNIE. AND UH , JUST THE PETITIONER WANT TO MAKE A PRESENTATION, MR MCCARTHY. THANK YOU. NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN. TERRY MCCARTHY, REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT.
OBVIOUSLY WE AGREE WITH STAFF. WHAT I FOUND ABOUT THIS APPLICATION WAS AFTER ALL WE'VE BEEN THROUGH IN THIS AREA IN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. WITH THE PANDEMIC, AND THEN YOU KNOW THE DOWNTURN IN THE ECONOMY. I WAS ENCOURAGED BY THE FACT THAT A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE WANTS TO INVEST SIGNIFICANT MONEY INTO THE CITY OF STEWART. UM. AS I KNOW FROM MY LAND USE PRACTICE, BUT AS YOU KNOW, IF YOU WILL HAVE FOUND OUT FROM YOUR STAFF AND OUR EXPERTS AN AUTO DEALERSHIP PLACES LITTLE DEMAND AN ESSENTIAL PUBLIC SERVICES. AS I SAY TO PEOPLE HAVE FREQUENTLY YOU GOT BY CON NOT VERY FREQUENTLY AND WITH TODAY'S AUTOMOBILES, YOU'RE NOT IN THE IN THE SHOP. VERY FRAMEWORK, EITHER. SO I FOUND IT VERY ENCOURAGING. THERE IS A FACILITY HERE. TRIPS ON THE ROADS OR RELATIVELY INSIGNIFICANT. IF YOU CAN'T PUT A DEALERSHIP IN US RUN AROUND THE WORLD. UM THE JOHNSON MOTOR GROUP HAS BROUGHT IN TONIGHT.
THEY'RE ARCHITECT FROM CALIFORNIA. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THROUGH WILKINSON, THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE JOHNSON MOTOR GROUP. THE MAIN OFFICE IS UP IN THE CAROLINAS HAS COME HERE TONIGHT. I'D LIKE DREW TO DISCUSS WITH YOU. ESSENTIALLY WHAT THIS IS GOING TO MEAN TO STEWART IN TERMS OF THE ECONOMICS IN TERMS OF GENERATING JOBS. THANK YOU. FOR THE RECORD . IT'S DREW WILKINSON AND I'M REPRESENTING JOHNSON AUTOMOTIVE , THE DEVELOPER, TURQUOISE MOON LLC. OUR FACILITY'S DIRECTOR. UM, FIRST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE STAFF. FOR WORKING THROUGH THIS PROJECT WITH US AND REALLY TAKING THE TIME TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO, AND HELP GUIDE US AND MEETING ALL THE RELEVANT ORDINANCES. SO I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE PROJECT FOR A SECOND. UM. ORIGINALLY WE BUILT THE BUILDING IN REOPENED FOR BUSINESS IN 2010. WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR 12 YEARS. WE FEEL LIKE A PART OF THE COMMUNITY. AND WE BELIEVE IN THE TOWN AND ITS FUTURE AND WE BELIEVE THIS PROJECT REPRESENTS AN INVESTMENT THAT YOU KNOW, SHOWS THAT BELIEF. UM. JUST IN ROUND NUMBERS. WE'RE LOOKING AT A $30 MILLION INVESTMENT. DURING THIS CONSTRUCTION PROJECT. WE'LL HAVE 100 PEOPLE, YOU KNOW THAT ARE WORKING. SPILLED THIS SITE. WHEN WE FINISH. WE'RE LOOKING AT 25 TO 30 REALLY WELL PAYING JOBS.
TECHNICIANS. SERVICE ADVISORS, PEOPLE WHO WORK IN THE PARTS DEPARTMENT. YOU KNOW? THIS IS GOOD. UM. NOW, ONE THING I DO WANT TO SPEAK TO IS THAT YOU MAY BE ASKING YOURSELF. YOU KNOW, IF YOU TRIED TO BUY A CAR IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, YOU MIGHT HAVE HAD TROUBLE FINDING SOMETHING.
AND SO WHY WOULD WE NEED A PARKING DECK WITH JUST MANY SPACES. SO. AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS OBVIOUSLY WE'RE EXPECTING NEW CAR INVENTORY TO COME BACK. BUT NEW CAR INVENTORY IS REALLY ONLY A SMALL PIECE OF THE OPERATION THAT HAPPENS ON SITE. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE CUSTOMER CARS STORED ON SITE. WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE WORKING PROCESS. WE HAVE CARS BEING WASHED. WHEN YOU BRING YOUR CAR IN, WE GIVE A LOANER CAR. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE PRE OWNED INVENTORY. SO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ADD ALL THAT UP IT'S A IT'S PRETTY BIG DEMAND. UM AND BEING THAT WE'RE SURROUNDED BY THIS NATURE PRESERVE. WE FELT THAT IT WAS MORE RESPONSIBLE TO GROW IN THIS WAY THAN IN ANY OTHER WAY. SO THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT TO SAY. ALSO I'D LIKE TO HAVE PETER ANDERSON COME UP. I KNOW THAT HE WORKED WITH STAFF. HARD TO ACTUALLY INCREASE THE GREEN SPACE OUT THERE. SO IF YOU COULK ALERT, CAPTURING THE MICROPHONE. A LITTLE BETTER. THANK YOU.
[01:15:06]
STEVE MARQUARDT KEPT ENGINEERING. WHEN WE WERE CITING THE BUILDINGS. WE HAD A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO NOT SPREAD OUT HORIZONTALLY BECAUSE THE IDEA OF THE PARKING GARAGE GOING VERTICALLY WHEN THE PROJECT WAS DESIGNED INITIALLY, 12 YEARS AGO. THERE WAS MORE PRESERVED AREA PROVIDED THAN WAS REQUIRED BY CODE, SO WE DID NOT WANT TO CUT INTO THAT BY SPREADING HORIZONTALLY. SO WHAT WE DID WAS WE BUILT OUR WE SIGHTED THE GARAGES OVER EXISTING PAVEMENT.SUCH THAT WE WERE ABLE TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF IMPERVIOUS OR PAVED FOOTPRINT. AND WE FOCUS THAT EXTRA GREEN SPACE ON THE POMEROY SIDE SO WE COULD TAKE ALL OF THOSE LARGE MAGNOLIA TREES AND THE PALM TREES THAT ARE ON SITE THAT HAD BEEN GROWING FOR 10 TO 12 YEARS AND PUT THEM OVER ONTO THE PALMER RIGHT SIDE TO INCREASE THE BUFFER AND THE GREEN SPACE OVER THERE. AND THERE'S ACTUALLY LESS IMPERVIOUS. SO THAT MEANS YOU DO NOT HAVE TO INCREASE. THE RETENTION PART. TRADITIONAL PURPOSE THERE. THANK YOU. THIS IS A VIEW HERE OF THE ADDITIONAL MATURE TREES THAT ARE BEING RELOCATED POMEROY SHOW THAT WHEN YOU GO DOWN, POMEROY, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A PRETTY FLUSH EXTERIOR THERE. WE AGREE WITH THE STAFF. WE AND I FIRMLY FEEL THAT THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN THE CITY OF STEWART THAT WILL BE BENEFICIAL TO THE CITY AND CREATING JOBS, AND IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT IT WILL INCREASE THE TAX BASE IN THE CITY, STEWART WE HAVE WE'RE HAPPY HANDS OR ANY QUESTIONS. YOU MAY HAVE ADDRESS ANY ISSUES YOU MADE. THANK YOU, TERRY. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? SO IT'S GOING TO CREATE AN ADDITIONAL 20 TO 30 JOBS. THAT'S THE ESTIMATE. I'LL HAVE A FEW ANSWERS, BUT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED. YES, OKAY. UH ARE YOU CUTTING DOWN ANY TREES? ARE YOU CUTTING INTO ANY OF THAT GREEN SPACE THAT'S EXISTING. NO, WE'RE MOVING THE TREES THAT ARE THERE, SO WE'RE NOT CUTTING DOWN ANY TREES. NO, I MEAN UM YOU. CAN YOU CONFIRM THAT. THREE. IT'S GOING TO BE HONEST. WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT MY NAME IS PETE ANDERSON. I REPRESENT MICHAEL FLAW. LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT. WE ACTUALLY ARE NOT REMOVING ANY TREES FROM THE SITE. ALL OF THE EXISTING TREES, ROYAL PALMS AND MAGNOLIA TREES ARE SCHEDULED TO BE RELOCATED ALONG PALMER RIGHT UP SOFTEN THAT ELEVATION. NO TREES WILL BE REMOVED, OKAY? DO WE HAVE ANY ESTIMATE OF HOW? HOW MUCH THIS IS GOING TO BRING UP THE VALUE. IN TERMS OF TAXES FOR THE CITY. I'M A LAWYER. NO WHERE'S THE MONEY GUY? OKAY. I'LL GO GET. I THINK HE DID. A MILLION BUCKS. 30 MILLION BUCKS INVESTMENT. THE COST OF THE STRUCTURE MIGHT BE $30 BILLION VALUE BY THE PROPERTY APPRAISER UNKNOWN PRODUCT TO THE PRESENT. IT WILL BE MORE THAN THAT. MR MCCARTHY JUST SAID HE'D PICK UP THE DIFFERENCE. PERFECT GOTTA GO. THERE YOU GO. I JUST HAVE TO QUESTION MR BROODER STARTED IN IN 2008. I JUST WANTED TO ASK WHEN WAS IT ANNEXED IN? GOSH, I DON'T KNOW. UH IS THERE IN THE STAFF MAY KNOW IS THIS IS SOUTHERN BOUNDARY OF THE OF THE CITY. SURE OLD SPS PROPERTY IS THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY OF THE CITY. COMMISSIONER RICH. I JUST HAVE ONE COMMENT AS SOMEONE WHO'S TRYING TO GET INTO HONDA. I REALLY HOPE HE'S RIGHT IN NEEDING THIS ADDITIONAL CAPACITY IS GONNA GO RIGHT HERE. IF YOU COULD SIGN. YOU KNOW HE'S DOING THIS OVER THREE AND FIVE YEARS, SO OBVIOUSLY, THE PROBLEM OF SUPPLY RAW FACING IS GOING TO TAKE AWHILE TO BE SOLVED, BUT I THINK IT IS EXCITING TO HAVE A DEALERSHIP IS GOING TO IMPROVE HIM BIGGER AND WE'RE GETTING BACK IN BUSINESS AGAIN. MR CLARK. THANK YOU. SO I'M GLAD THAT, UM THAT WAS COMMISSIONER.
COLLINS ONE TALKED ABOUT IT SAYS THAT IT'S GOING TO BE OVER THE EXISTING ASPHALT AND THEN THAT YOU WERE GOING TO TRY TO UPGRADE SOME OF YOUR LANDSCAPING, BUT I ALSO WANTED. I NOTICED THE STAFF
[01:20:01]
REPORT AND I WANTED TO SEE SPECIFICALLY IF THE STAFF REPORT JUST HAD A VERY SHORT THING ABOUT DEALING WITH OPEN SPACE AND VEGETATION. BUT JUST CONTROLLING WHATEVER HAPPENS WITH, UM I'M SURE THAT WE'RE CONTROLLING ALL OF THAT WITH OUR BUILDING CODES WITH WHAT HAPPENS WITH ANY, YOU KNOW, RUN OFF THROUGH THE PARKING GARAGE, HOW IT GOES DOWN ON THE SIDES AND GOES BACK DOWN. BASICALLY IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE INCORPORATED IN THAT ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING WITH OUR LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT. I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF THERE WAS SOMETHING I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING SPECIFIC, BUT MAYBE BECAUSE ALL OF THE WORK WAS GOING TO BE DONE ON EXISTING ASPHALT. SO YOU KNOW NOTHING. NEW IS GOING TO BE DISTURBED. SO MAYBE THAT'S WHY THAT WASN'T REALLY TREATED. BUT ALSO I WANTED TO. I LOOKED AT THE ALL AGREEMENT. UM BACK. I DON'T KNOW WHEN BECKY SAID 2008 OR SOMETHING OR BUT THEY TALKED ABOUT LIGHT POLLUTION A LITTLE BIT, AND I KNOW THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE PARKING GARAGE AND WHAT WHATEVER HEIGHT WAS WAS BEING ADDED IN HERE, BASED ON THE SITE DESIGN. AND WHAT STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT WE APPROVE . UM I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS NEW STRUCTURE OF THESE TWO STRUCTURES DOESN'T AFFECT THE HAVE ANY LIGHT POLLUTION. UM BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THINGS HAVE TO BE LIT AROUND THIS NEW HIRE BUILDING. SO I WANTED TO BE SURE THAT THAT IS BEING ADEQUATELY DEALT WITH. I DIDN'T SEE A SPECIFIC UM, NOTE ON HERE THAT GOES BACK TO THE ORIGINAL P U D THAT SAYS, THIS NEW THING WILL MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS TAKEN CARE OF THE RECORD TO LIGHT POLLUTION. AND THEN THE OTHER THING WAS, UM UM, YOU TALKED ABOUT THE GREEN SPACE BEING INCLUDE. OF COURSE, YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE LEAD GUIDELINES FOR, UM GREEN BUILDING AND SO ON. UM AND THEN THE SIGNAGE ON THE SIDE OR WHEREVER IT'S APPROPRIATE AND MEETS OUR SIGN CODE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT LOOKS NICE AND THAT IT IT'S A VERY GOOD WAY TO SIGN THIS NEW SIDE OF THIS GARAGE WITH THE HONDA. UM IF WE APPROVE IT LIKE THIS, SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I DIDN'T SEE THAT IN THIS NEW AMENDED THING, BUT MAYBE I'M MISSING IT. I HATE READING FROM MY COMPUTER FROM THIS THING, BUT I MIGHT HAVE READ SOMETHING DIFFERENT ON THE WEEKEND. BUT IT SAYS IT SAYS IT WILL HAVE THEIR DESIGN AND WALL ON THE PARKING GARAGE AND THE ORIGINAL P U. D. WHICH PROHIBITED SIGNAGE ON THE FOURTH FLOOR OF ANY PARKING STRUCTURE, SO YOU'RE GOING TO FOLLOW ALL OF THOSE, SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WON'T HAVE ANYTHING THAT'S STILL OBNOXIOUS, AND I THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE FINE. IF WE LIKE MOST LAWYERS, I CAN ANSWER THEM. THEY'RE ANYTHING BUT UH, RELY UPON THE EXPERT. I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THE LIGHTING IS REVIEWED BY STAFF AND IT WAS IT WAS APPROPRIATE. OKAY? THANK YOU, MR HARKEN. JUST MY COMMENTS ARE THANK YOU FOR BRINGING UP THE LIGHTING, I OFTEN BRING UP BECAUSE I LIKE POLLUTION GUY, UH AND BUT THANKFULLY, WITH THE INVENTION OF LED LIGHTS, MUCH OF OUR LIGHT POLLUTION HAS BEEN RESOLVED AS MUCH AS IT POSSIBLY CAN. BECAUSE OF THE WAY IT DIRECTS THE LIGHTS AND DOESN'T HAVE THAT GLOW THAT GOES AROUND THOSE OLD SODIUM LIGHTS THAT WE USED TO. BE STUCK WITH, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS I ACTUALLY I WORKED AT A RIGHT WAY TOO MANY YEARS AGO, I WORKED AT A CAR DEALERSHIP FOR FIVE OR SIX YEARS IN OHIO, AND IT WAS A WE HAD A LARGE WAS ONE OF THE LARGER DODGE DEALERSHIPS IN THE COUNTRY AND HAD A LARGE INVENTORY OF CARS, AND IT WAS PROBABLY A 25 ACRE SITE THAT WE USUALLY HAD ABOUT 1500 CARS ON SITE WITH EVERYTHING AND SO TO SEE THE CAR DEALERSHIPS ACTUALLY. SPENDING THE MONEY ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO BUILD A GARAGE. AH. TO STUPID SHRINK.THAT FOOTPRINT, I THINK IS WONDERFUL BECAUSE, LIKE I SAID IT WAS 25 ACRES OF ASPHALT AND, UM AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I HAVE NO IDEA. YOU KNOW HOW THE DRAINAGE WORKS BACK THEN. SO, UH, SO I THINK THAT I LOVED HER. SO I THINK THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT. I THINK THAT YOU GUYS I'M GLAD TO SEE THE INVESTMENT. UH THE LANDSCAPING THE SO EXPLAIN THE 50% REDUCTION REQUEST FOR THE VERY FOR THE 50% FROM THE UN THE INTERIOR LANDSCAPING. AND PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU SPEAK INTO THE MIKE CLEARLY SO WE CAN HEAR YOU SO, UH, IN REGARDS TO THE OVERALL SITE COMPLIANT WITH THE REGULATIONS FOR PERIMETER LANDSCAPING. OVERALL SITE, LANDSCAPING AND OVERALL TREE COUNTS. WHEN IT COMES TO THE INTERIOR LANDSCAPING WERE REQUIRED TO HAVE 50% OF OUR REQUIRED LANDSCAPING. BE INTERIOR. COULD YOU GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE? WHAT YOU MEAN BY THAT
[01:25:01]
PARKING ISLANDS, OKAY. OR IF YOU WERE TO DIE TODAY, DESIGN A BUILDING NOW YOU WOULD INCORPORATE LANDSCAPING TIGHT TO THE BUILDING SEPARATING IT FROM THE PARKING WHICH IS AN EXISTING CONDITIONS, SO WE CAN'T GET ANY CREDIT FOR THAT, BUT WE HAVE PUT IN PARKING ISLANDS. BETWEEN EVERY 10 STALLS. EACH ONE HAS AT LEAST ONE CANOPY TREE AND GROUND COVERS, SO WE MEET THE TREE REQUIREMENT FOR INTERIOR LANDSCAPE. BUT WERE UNABLE TO MEET THE SQUARE FOOTAGE.REQUIREMENT FOR LANDSCAPE, OKAY. OKAY THAT ANSWERS MY QUESTION. UM SO THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE. SO LET ME GO BACK TO OUR LITTLE YELLOW SHEET. HERE. I HAD ONE MORE QUESTION. COLLEGE LANDSCAPING WITH IT LOOKS LIKE LARGE PALMS THERE. HERE. ARE YOU GUYS GONNA BE? ARE THOSE EXISTING? THOSE ARE EXISTING ROYAL ARMATURE THAT SIZE? YES PERFECT LOCATED. JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THANK YOU. OKAY SO LET'S SEE. ACCORDING TO THIS, UM LET'S SEE YOU NOTICE PRESENTATION. OKAY SO THE MR MCCARTHY DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? I DO NOT OKAY.

THE MAJORITY THOUGH, REMAINS, UM IT LOOKS LIKE LAWN[01:35:06]
AREA BEYOND THAT MODE MAINTAINED AND THE MAJORITY THAT WILL REMAIN SO WE ARE GOING TO PAVE 30,000 SQUARE FEET. IT'S ROUGHLY ABOUT 30. JUST WRITE ABOUT 30,000. SQUARE FOOT INCREASE. IS THERE ANY SENSE THAT THAT MIGHT IMPACT THE DRAINAGE THERE OR THERE WAS CERTAINLY HAVE A YOU HAVE A DRAINAGE PLAN. I'M SURE WE DO. WE DO. THERE IS THERE IS NO STORM WATER, UM, FACILITIES ON THE EXISTING SITE WE'RE PUTTING IN NEW STORMWATER MANAGEMENT, UH, LITTLE PROVIDE WATER QUALITY TREATMENT FOR THE ENTIRE SITE WHERE THERE ISN'T ANY NOW. IT'S ALSO EXTENDS THE WATER CLOUD REQUIREMENT. UH, IT ALSO EXCEEDS THE ENTIRE RUNOFF FROM THE NEW PAVEMENT FOR A 25 YEAR TYPE OF A STORM EVENT. WHAT IS IT? A RETENTION POND OR WHAT ARE WE DOING? IT'S A DRY DETENTION AREA BACK IN THE BACK OF THE SITE. YOU'RE RICH. NO, I HAVE NO QUESTIONS. SCOTT UM, THE DRAINAGE. SO YOU MENTIONED THAT YOU KNOW WHEN THE ORIGINAL BUILDING WAS BUILT OR THE ORIGINAL BUILDING. UM. SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 1970 95. SO THERE PROBABLY WASN'T ANY, UH, STORMWATER REQUIREMENT WHEN IT WAS BUILT GUESSING IT WASN'T AND AS I MENTIONED BEFORE THE AERIAL SUBMITTED WAS THE CURRENT ERA, OF COURSE, BUT IF YOU LOOK BACK AT A LATE NINETIES AERIAL YOU'LL SEE UM, PRETTY INTENSE MOBILE HOME PARK. THE ROADWAY IS STILL THERE FROM THAT PARK. BUT ALL OF COURSE THE YEAH BEEN REMOVED, BUT THERE WAS NO STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND SO THE WITH THE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT THAT YOU'RE PUTTING IN, IT WILL BE.

UH CHIEF, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD? THANK YOU. YEAH THE BIDS HAVEN'T COME IN YET. DON'T GET ALL EXCITED. YEAH MR. MR DIOCESE . YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING? JUST THAT IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING AS YOU GUYS KNOW THAT NORTH OF THE CITY HAS BEEN, UM, AN AREA THAT I DON'T WANT TO SAY. WE'VE NEGLECTED THAT WE'VE HAD THE COUNTY COVERING US FOR MANY YEARS. AND UNDER CONTRACTUAL BASIS, AND NOW THAT WE'RE DOING EXCHANGE OF FUNDS FOR THAT SERVICE, THIS BECAME AN IMPERATIVE ISSUE FOR US TO RESOLVE. WE'VE LOOKED AT SEVERAL SITES AND, UM, THIS WAS THE ONE THAT WAS MOST FEASIBLE FOR US TO DEVELOP UNDER THE PREVIOUS ONE WOULD HAVE HAD TO REQUIRE A LOT OF PHIL TO BE BROUGHT IN IN ORDER TO MAKE IT USABLE FOR US. BUT THIS IS AFTER SEVERAL MEETINGS THAT I HAD WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE A UP THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN WHEN THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN OTHER CHALLENGES. UM SO I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND, UH, CLOSED THE HEARING AS THE EVIDENCE IS ENDED. DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS? SHE TO MORALITY YOU DID YOU WANT TO DID YOU? YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO MAKE SOME PUBLIC COMMENT. GOOD MAYOR PRETTY LIKE ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. YES BUT I WANTED TO SAY, HAS ANYONE SEEN THE NEW FIRE DEPARTMENT. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE AN ISLAND. WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT HERE AND I WILL TELL YOU THAT WE GOT THEM BEAT AND THIS IS REALLY COOL. YOU GOT TO SEE THE NEW ONE OUT ON THE ISLAND, THEIR NEW THEIR
[01:45:03]
NEW FIRE STATION OUT THERE. IT'S REALLY COOL. THIS ONE'S REALLY GREAT. IT'S COOL. DON'T GET ANY IDEAS. WE'RE NOT GOING TO SPEND NEARLY AS MUCH MONEY AS THE COUNTY. AND I DO. I WILL MOVE FOR APPROVAL. SECOND, MR MAYOR, COULD I JUST ASK SO TALKING ABOUT THE LAST AUTO DEALERSHIP, COMMISSIONER COLLINS ASKED A GOOD QUESTION ABOUT INCREASED. AND PERMEABILITY, AND YOU MADE THEM. ESSENTIAL POINT WAS THAT THEY WERE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THEIR STORM ON REQUIREMENTS. SO THE POINT MADE TO US UP AT THAT TWO DAY SEMINAR WAS THE CITY SHOULD LEAD BY EXAMPLE. SO WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY HERE. EVERY CONSIDERED INCORPORATING AS MANY L I, D AND G S I INITIATIVES AS POSSIBLE OR ANY OF THEM FOR THIS PROJECT. I DON'T KNOW. BUT I WOULD SAY THAT THIS IS ONLY THE REZONING THAT A SITE PLAN TO SITE PLAN IS ADMINISTRATIVELY. BUT WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND IS THE YOU MEET WITH MR DIAZ AND DEVELOPMENT AND TALK ABOUT THAT , YOU KNOW, AND THEY'LL PROBABLY BRING IN THE FIRE CHIEF AS WELL JUST BECAUSE HE NEEDS SOMEPLACE TO GO DURING THE DAY. I WILL JUST SAY IT IS IT'S NOT A VERY LARGE SITE. THERE IS A STORM WATER RETENTION AREA ON THERE.THERE'S ALSO A SECTION OF THE SITE THAT WE PRESERVED OFFER RESERVED OFF BECAUSE THE COUNTY HAS A WELL IN THAT LOCATION. AND SO THAT WILL STAY LIKE A WOODED AREA OF THIS OF THIS SITE, AND THAT PUSHED EVERYTHING TO THE NORTH SIDE OF THE SITE. BUT WITHOUT YOU KNOW, THERE'S REALLY NOTHING ELSE THAT WE CAN CUT OUT OF THE SITE. YOU CAN'T EVEN USE PERVIOUS CONCRETE BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT OF THE TRUCK, SO YOU'RE KIND OF LIMITED TO WHAT YOU'RE ABLE TO USE. OKAY COMMISSIONER.
BRUNO WANTED TO ADD TO THAT. THAT'S WHAT I WROTE DOWN AND IT WAS SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE SAYING. WE HAVE TO DO IT. WE HAVE TO SET THE EXAMPLE. I CAN'T GO TO GO TO THEM AND SAY THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING, AND THEN BECAUSE A LOT SMOOTHER TO THE DEVELOPERS THANK YOU. SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BRUNO WITH A SECOND COMMISSIONER CLARK QUESTION IS OVERCOMING. SO YOU GUYS TOOK MY WHATEVER THUNDER. I JUST, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT'S COMING FROM US AND WE ARE THE ONES WHO ARE DOING IT. BUT JUST HAVING THE ALMOST SILENCE IN THE ROOM OF HAVING OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT PRESENT OF HAVING REPRESENTATIVES PRESENT AND ESPECIALLY SEEN THOSE REPRESENTATIVES WERE IN THEIR PINK FOR BREAST CANCER MONTH. IT JUST SAYS A LOT. SOMETIMES WE LISTEN TO THE PUBLIC WHETHER THERE SAYING SOMETHING FOR AND AGAINST A LARGE PROJECT OR A SMALL PROJECT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS SO IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC WELFARE AND THE FACT THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN THEIR WELFARE, THEIR JOBS AND THE COMMUNITY'S WELFARE. IT IS SO IMPORTANT AND WE THANK YOU FOR YOU BEING INTERESTED IN SEEING SOMETHING FORWARD. IN THAT REGARD. ALSO I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT A SIDE PLAN APPROVAL. BUT WHEN WE GET CLOSER TO THAT, AND WE BRING BACK OTHER THINGS IN DETAILS, AND I DON'T HAVE, MR CAPRA AND OTHER PEOPLE WILL BE WORKING ON THIS. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASKING ABOUT THE NORTHERN PART OF THE CITY AND ANYTHING WITHIN THAT AREA WITH REGARD TO, UM. YOU KNOW, TREES AND REMOVAL OF TREES AND DOING LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT . SO I JUST WANT US TO ABSOLUTELY TAKE EVERY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND LOOKED AT THAT SO THAT WE CAN RESPOND RESPONSIBLY TO THE PUBLIC WHEN THEY ASK US WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THAT SITE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU . SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BRUNER, A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CLARK. DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE MOTION? SAYING NONE. SUSAN, WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL THE BANK? COMMISSIONER BRUNER. YES, COMMISSIONER CLARK? YES, MCDONALD. ENTHUSIASTICALLY YES, COMMISSIONER RICH? YES, COMMISSIONER COLLINS? YES? OKAY WELL, CONGRATULATIONS. WE'RE ON OUR WAY. LET'S GET THAT. LET'S START DIGGING AND THAT COME TO THE GOLDEN HAT THING. MEETING ADJOURNED. HMM
