[COMMENTS BY CITY COMMISSIONERS]

EXCUSE ME. THE SIERRA STAFF CAN WORK ON THAT. UM I THINK IT WAS A WEEK AGO SATURDAY HAD THE PLEASURE GOING OUT FOR OPENING DAY OF THE MARTIN COUNTY NORTH LITTLE LEAGUE. UM WERE THEY HAVE OVER 500 PLAYERS IN THAT? LEAGUE NOW AND WE HAVE OUR E. STEWART TEAM IS DOING GREAT. AND AT THAT OPENING DAY, THEY HONORED OUR OWN DAVID DIET. UM AS AS I GUESS , WHAT WAS THE ACTUAL AWARD SPECIAL FRIEND OF THE LEAGUE OR BALLPLAYER EVER BALLPLAYER EVER SO BUT ANYWAYS, UM, IT WAS A FORMER COMMISSIONER KELLY GLASS LIGHT AND GET PRESENTED HIM WITH THE AWARD, AND KELLY DID A GREAT JOB AND DESCRIBING, UH, AND GIVING ALL OF THE ACCOLADES. UM AND I'M GUESSING FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE PETTING IN THE BACK AND, UH, AND ALSO TELLING YOU SORRY THAT YOU'RE LEAVING. SO, UM MOVING ON. YOU KNOW, I REALLY TALKED ABOUT THIS

[00:05:04]

IT'S UH, IT'S DISTURBING BECAUSE I THINK THAT WE'VE DONE A VERY GOOD JOB OF BALANCING DEVELOPMENT AND BENEFIT, UM TO THE CITY AND OUR RESIDENTS. BUT IF THIS PASSES AND I. BELIEVE IT

[00:10:09]

WE WAIT AND SEE IF THE BILL GETS PASSED. BUT IT DOES HAVE AN EFFECTIVE DATE OF JULY 1ST BUT ONE BUT IF IT GETS PAST AND WE'LL KNOW WHAT THE END OF LEGISLATIVE SESSION IS END OF APRIL, SO AND THEN IS IT 30 DAYS? I THINK THE GOVERNOR HAS DESIGNED BILLS. SO BY THE END OF MAY WILL KNOW IF IT'S LAW. UM AND THEN AT THAT POINT, WE'LL WANT TO LOOK AT HOW WE'RE NAVIGATING THESE THINGS. AND UNFORTUNATELY, YOU KNOW, IT'S WHEN THESE THINGS THEY START GETTING MOMENTUM IN TALLAHASSEE . IT'S HARD TO REVERSE THAT MOMENTUM FROM OUR LEVEL. I'VE SPOKEN WITH BOTH OUR STATE SENATOR AND OUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE ABOUT IT, AND THEY UNDERSTAND MY CONCERNS. UM AND I THINK THAT IF YOU'RE CURIOUS, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY TALK TO SENATOR HAROLD OR REPRESENTATIVE SNYDER. AS TO YOU KNOW, LET EVERYBODY TALK TO THEM ON THEIR OWN. BUT THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT YOU KNOW THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH AND WE, YOU KNOW, AND AN EXAM THERE'S EXAMPLE. THE COSTCO PROPERTY, WHICH IS THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS IS 8.8 ACRES.

COULD HAVE BEEN 30 UNDER THIS BILL, AND THAT WOULD BE AND TAKE 30 TIMES. 50 YOU CAN JUST GUESS CAN COMPARING DONE THE MATH IS WHAT 1500 UNITS SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IS IT 1530 TIMES? 50 1500 UNITS CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT THAT MATH, RIGHT? UM SO BUT EVEN HALF THAT, EVEN IF IT WAS 15 UNITS, AN ACRE 750 UNITS, THERE'S A DIFFERENCE AND SO THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE DO NEED TO ADDRESS. WE NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON AND WE NEED TO REMEMBER. LOOK AT HOW WE DEVELOP OUR CITY AND BE VERY RESPONSIBLE AND WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY APPROVING. YOU KNOW WHAT? IT WAS SUGGESTED TO ME TODAY? THAT THE ONLY WAY WE KEEP LARGE SCALE MULTI FAMILY OUT IS TO PUT SMALLER SCALE, MULTI FAMILY AND. THAT'S NOT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE ANSWER, BUT I DON'T THINK SO. BUT BUT THAT'S THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT. SO ANYWAYS, THAT'S ALL. I HAVE A MOVE ON TO THE VICE MAYOR. UM.

DITTO HIM AND WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE SAID, UM, THAT'S THE ONLY I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ON MY MIND IS LOSING DAVID AND WHO'S GOING TO FILL HIS SHOES BUT ANYWAY, OR TRY TO THAT'S IT.

YEAH OKAY. COMMISSIONER CLARK. OH, THANK YOU. OKAY, SO I'M GONNA GO TO SOME OLD STUFF. AND NOT THAT THINKING, MR DIOCESE OLD BUT IT'S ON THE TOP OF MY LIST, AND I THOUGHT I HAD GIVEN MYSELF AWAY LAST TIME WHEN WE MET, BUT HE SAID YOU DID SO WE WILL HAVE LOTS OF CHANCES TO SAY GOODBYE. SO WE WILL TALK, BUT I JUST AGAIN WANT TO OFFICIALLY APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'VE DONE IN THE TIME THAT YOU'VE BEEN HERE YOU STARTED. I THINK WHEN YOU WHEN I FIRST WAS IN RIGHT AFTER I STARTED, YOU WERE HARD AS A POLICE CHIEF, AND THEN ALSO I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS A YEAR WHEN I WAS MAYOR THAT YOU CAME IN OR NOT, BUT WE APPRECIATE YOU AND WE WILL YOU'LL HEAR FURTHER FROM EACH OF US, UM SOMETIMES PEOPLE DON'T HAVE SEEN THINGS ON ON THE INTERNET ABOUT STUART AND PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT. AND THEY DON'T WANT THE CITY TO BE THE UM MOST

[00:15:06]

WE NEED TO COLLECT STORIES OF EVERYBODY. I KNOW THAT GLORIA FIKE AND MARRY JONES AND SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE. ALICE LOCKHART IN HER PASSING, SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COLLECTING STORIES FROM ALL OVER MARTIN COUNTY AND TO SEE A SPECIAL INTEREST IN COLLECTING. STORIES ESPECIALLY FROM THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY. THAT WAS VERY, VERY GOOD EFFORT, AND I APPLAUD JACKIE AND THE REST OF OUR STAFF AND ALSO MISS DEENA DULY FOR WHAT THEY DID ON THAT, UM AH, ON ANOTHER THING ALSO, AND I DON'T KNOW I WAS GOING TO SAY WE COULD ASK DAVID IF HE COULD DO THIS, BUT WE'LL SEE WHETHER IT'S THE NEXT PERSON THAT COMES ALONG. ON LAST THURSDAY. THE RIVERS COALITION, WHICH MEETS IN HERE HAD THEIR MEETING AND SPEAKING OF STORIES . JACKIE THURLOW LIP ISH DID A STORY ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE ST LUCIE RIVER CANAL. WE ALL KNOW ABOUT 1948 AND 1935 UNDER WARRANT, POVERTY AND SOME OF THE OTHER PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS THAT WERE DONE, BUT SHE REALLY PUT IT IN A LOT OF THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE. AND IT WAS REALLY A GOOD STORY. YOU MENTIONED HAVING SOME TYPE OF WORKSHOP ON WHATEVER CHOICE I WAS TALKING ABOUT. I THINK IT'S WORTH IT IF WE DECIDE TO EVEN LOOK INTO ANY TYPE OF ENVIRONMENTAL THINGS, OR JUST EVEN THOUGH THE MEETING IS OPEN TO EVERYONE, JUST AT SOME POINT IF WE EVER HAVE ANYTHING, EITHER, IF WE NEED TO PREPARE TO GO IN FRONT OF THE LEGISLATURE JUST UPDATE OURSELVES IF WE COULD ASK JACKET, THURLOW LIPIDS SH TO COME AND GIVE US A PRESENTATION. IT WASN'T VERY LONG. I'D SAY AT LEAST A GOOD 20 MINUTES OR MORE, BUT, UM, IT WAS A VERY EXCELLENT PRESENTATION. OUR CITY IS AT THE CONFLUENCE OF THE OKEECHOBEE WATERWAY AND THE SETTLERS THE RIVER AND WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE A DYING CITY. EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE US TO DO THAT OVER GROWS EITHER OR IDEALIST BALANCE, BUT WE DON'T WANT TO BE AT THE POINT WHERE WE CAN'T LITERALLY STOMACH OUR CITY BECAUSE OF CERTAIN THINGS GOING ON, ESPECIALLY IN THE WATERWAY. SO I THINK THAT IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE THAT IN OUR MINDS AND WE GET A REAL FEEL, AND I THINK THAT JACKIE REALLY CAPTURED IT IN THAT PRESENTATION, AND WE SHOULD TRY TO ASK OR EVEN SEE IF WE CAN GET I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS A VIDEO. I DON'T KNOW IF MR PAUL WAS AT THAT MEETING IF HE CAPTURED ANYTHING, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY KEPT THEIR MEETING. UM IF THEY COVERED THE MEETING WITH OUR VIDEO OR NOT, BUT IT WOULD BE A GOOD MEETING TO HAVE THAT ON. UM COMING UP IN THE COMMUNITY. I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY JUST ONE MORE DAY LEFT IN WHAT IS CONSIDERED BLACK HISTORY MONTH THE N DOUBLE A. C P IS GOING TO HAVE THEIR ANNUAL BANQUET ON THE, UM ON THIS. THE 11TH OF MARCH COMING UP AT THE MARRIOTT AND IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE IN PARTICIPATE IN INSANE FINALLY, THIS IS ONE TIME WE'RE GOING TO SIT WITH PEOPLE AND EAT WITH THEM AND TALK TO THEM THAT I HAVE NEVER TALKED OR OR THOUGHT ABOUT DOING WHAT I HAVEN'T DONE. PLEASE ENCOURAGE

[00:20:03]

I KNOW THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT THE MPO. BUT AND I MENTIONED THIS TO OUR CITY MANAGER, AND IT'S AN AGE OLD PROBLEM. BUT IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP TO ME AGAIN ABOUT THE ALIGNMENT OF RIGHT BOULEVARD AND ALICE AVENUE AND WHAT'S HAPPENING UP THERE AND WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN WITH THAT? AND WHAT HAS EVER HAPPENED IN THE PAST WHEN WE'VE TRIED TO HAVE PLANS OR DO SOMETHING AND LANDOWNERS AND SO ON, BUT UM, IF WE COULD LOOK AT IT AGAIN, AND I'M NOT SURE I CAN GIVE YOU A DEFINITIVE ANSWER. SO TODAY AT THE MPO MEETING, WE VOTED TO MODIFY OUR, UH, PRIORITY FOR THAT, WHICH IT'S, UH I THINK IT'S LIKE SEVEN OR EIGHT ON MAY EIGHT OR NINE ON THE PRIORITY LIST, BUT WE ADDED THE LANGUAGE FOR REALIGNMENT OF RIGHT AND ALICE AVENUE. UM THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF CHALLENGES WITH THAT BECAUSE OF THE RAILROAD CROSSING , UM FCC FCC CONSIDERS THAT CLOSING A CROSSING AND OPENING A NEW ONE IN ORDER TO OPEN A NEW ONE. YOU HAVE TO CLOSE TO SO BUT WE THINK IT'S A NEGOTIATION SO UM, BUT HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THAT DONE. SO THAT HAS BEEN TO THAT IS IN THE MPO PRIORITY LIST . THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT WE GOT DONE AT THIS MEETING. THANK YOU . I HAVE TWO SHORT THINGS. AND THEN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASKING ME ABOUT WHETHER IZATION OF THEIR HOMES ON WHETHER IT'S WINDOWS OR SOMETHING TO DO WITH ROOF. SOME OF SENT TO THE C R A AND R BUILDING DEPARTMENT, SOME OF SENT TO MARTIN COUNTY, UM, TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY FUNDS, BUT I'M WONDERING IF WE NEED TO PUT SOME INFORMATION OUT THERE IF THERE'S ANY GRANT SCHEDULE, OR IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN, SO THAT SPRINGTIME PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE SPRUCING UP THEIR HOMES AND DOING SOMETHING ACTUALLY WENT TO A PROJECT, WHICH A DEVELOPER HAD DONE IN STUART AND THEY HAD DONE EVERYTHING AND SPENT MONEY AND THEY COULD HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE C R A AND DONE SOME THINGS WHERE THEY COULD HAVE PARTNERED WITH THE C R A. SO WE JUST NEED TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE INFORMATION OUT THERE FOR PEOPLE. TO UM TO KNOW ABOUT IT AND TO PARTICIPATE, ESPECIALLY IN OUR I CALL IT THE WOODLAWN AREA IS NOW THE ON WHAT THE CREEK DISTRICT AND SOME OF THE OTHER AREAS AND NEWER AREAS IN OUR C R A. I THINK THE CREEK DISTRICT IN THE EAST STEWART OR THE NEWER ERAS AND ALL THE WAY DOWN TO DEKKER AVENUE. UM AND THEN MY LAST THING IS TO FIGURE OUT FROM MR MORTAL. IF WE'RE EVER GOING TO HEAR ANYTHING ON THIS LAWSUIT ISSUES I KNOW THAT YOU'VE SENT OUT EMAILS AND SO ON. BUT IF YOU EVER WANT TO TALK TO US, AND LET US GIVE US AN IDEA OF BOMB WHAT LAWSUITS? WE'RE CLOSING OUT ON WHAT LAWSUITS WE NEED TO POSSIBLY HAVE A SHADE MEETING ON OR WHAT YOU NEED TO GIVE US OTHER THAN THE INFORMATION THAT I THINK YOU'VE PUBLISHED TO US AS TO SOME KIND OF A STATUS AND THAT'S ABOUT IT. OKAY. THANK YOU, MR COLLINS. SO UM, WITH REGARDS TO SENATE BILL ONE. OH, TWO. I DO THINK IT SHOULD GALVANIZE US. TO GET AN EMOTIVE PROTECTING OUR CITY. I KNOW WE'VE BEEN APPROVING A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS, AND WE'VE BEEN VERY WILLING TO CONVERT COMMERCIAL PROPERTY TO INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY, BUT I THINK WITH SEEING THAT COMING WE'VE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HAVING POTENTIALLY A WORKSHOP AND TO DISCUSS THIS, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD START TO BE IN THE MOTIVE, PRESERVING COMMERCIAL SPACE NOT LOOKING AT UM, THEY CONTINUED PRACTICE OF. SWITCHING LAND USE, TAKING LAND USE FROM INDUSTRIAL OR COMMERCIAL TO MULTI FAMILY. IF THAT ULTIMATELY WILL BE THRUST UPON US. I THINK OUR GOAL SHOULD BE TO HAVE AS MUCH COMMERCIAL SPACE BE DEVELOPED SO THAT OUR PEOPLE HAVE SOMEWHERE TO WORK AND ARE ABLE TO AFFORD SOMEWHERE TO LIVE IF THAT'S WHAT'S COMING OUR WAY.

I THINK WE SHOULD BE. YOU KNOW, THIS IS FAR OFF IN ADVANCE. BUT IF THOSE ARE THE RULES AROUND A TRANSIT STOP, WE SHOULD HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO GOAL TO HAVE A BRIGHT LINE STOP HERE, EVEN

[00:25:01]

YEARS OF THE ARMY CORPS, WEIGHING IN FROM ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS. WHEN IT'S TIME TO DISCHARGE. IT HAS TO BE FAIR NOW BECAUSE WE'VE TALKED TO EVERYBODY, AND SO NOBODY'S GONNA GET LEFT OUT, INCLUDING ST LUCIE . SO EVEN IF ITS NOMINAL WE ARE GOING TO RECEIVE SOME OF THAT, FROM A POLITICAL STANDPOINT. I APPRECIATE COMMISSIONER CLARK, REDFORD SAID, REFERENCING THE RIVERS COALITION MEETING. THAT PRESENTATION FROM MISS JACKIE LOOK, PISH AND TODD. HER BROTHER, THURLOW WAS INCREDIBLE ON THE HISTORY OF THE ST LUCIE CANAL. AND I'M GOING TO QUOTE HER BY PARAPHRASING BECAUSE I DON'T I DIDN'T WRITE THE EXACT QUOTE DOWN, BUT IT'S BEEN 100 YEARS. THE ST LUCIE HAS DONE ITS PART. FOR 100 YEARS. IT'S BEEN THE WORKHORSE AND IT'S TIME TO RETIRE THAT WORKHORSE. SO AS OUR MISSION HAS BEEN, IT'S TIME FOR ZERO DISCHARGES, AS HAS BEEN SAID BY OTHERS WHO WERE HERE BEFORE ME. IT'S TIME TO CLOSE THE S 80 GATES FOR GOOD. AH, SLIGHTLY TRANSITIONING. BEING POWERLESS TO STOP THE HARMFUL BLUE GREEN ALGAE, TOXINS AND POLLUTION FROM POURING INTO OUR BACKYARD. FURTHER DEMONSTRATES THE NEED FOR THE CITY TO HAVE HER OWN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION DEPARTMENT AND ATTORNEY. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING ON MARCH 9TH TO DISCUSS DAVE'S REPLACEMENT, WHICH YOU'RE THE MAN. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU. YOU BE A TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW. UH, BUT. GETTING IN FRONT OF THE BALL A LITTLE BIT. I KNOW WE'RE GONNA HAVE A MEETING ABOUT THIS. I'M JUST GONNA LET IT BE KNOWN IN THE SUNSHINE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND MIKE MARTEL TO REPLACE HIM AND FOR TWO MAIN REASONS.

ONE I THINK WITH HIS EXPERIENCE, HE'S GOING TO BE AN INCREDIBLE CITY MANAGER. TWO. BY PROVIDENCE , WHICH IS WHAT TENDS TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU ACTIVELY INVOKE GOD AND DEAR PROCEEDINGS. THIS SITUATION HAS LINED UP. WITH DAVE, GRADUATING TO GINO. AND POTENTIALLY MR MORTAL MOVING INTO THAT CITY MANAGER ROLE, BUT WE COULD HAVE AN ENVIRONMENTAL ATTORNEY AS A CITY ATTORNEY AND

[00:30:06]

SO WITH THAT I AM DONE. GOOD, MR RICH. WELL YOU CAN PROBABLY TELL WHICH THREE COMMISSIONERS ATTENDED THE RIVER COALITION MEETING. BE SWEET, UM THIS. MR BRUNO WAS ON. OH DID YOU AGREE THERE? SORRY VICE MAYOR. I DIDN'T SEE YOU ALWAYS HAVE YAHOO! UM. JOHN MAIL FROM THE FROM MARTIN COUNTY WAS THERE AND I MET HIM A FEW TIMES, AND HE'S FAIRLY SOFT SPOKEN, BUT AT THE END, HE MADE WHAT IS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT PART ABOUT THE WATER. AND HE SAYS. IT'S STILL IT'S STILL LEGAL TO YELL FIRE IN A CROWDED MOVIE THEATER. BUT WHEN THERE'S A FIRE, YOU NEED TO PULL THE ALARM. AND THAT'S THE SITUATION WE FIND OURSELVES. UNFORTUNATELY BUT THE RIVER THE I MEAN THE LAKE. THE LAKE IS VERY HIGH. AT THE WRONG TIME OF YEAR. UM. BEN HOGARTH, WHO WORKS FOR THE CITY, AND I MET WITH MERIT AND TALKED ABOUT IT AT LENGTH. UH AND LUCKILY, HE'S VERY FAMILIAR, AND EVEN HE WAS FAIRLY PANICKED. UM. SO THE PROBLEM IS, WE HAVE BEEN GETTING DISCHARGES THAT ARE DOWN TO 300 CUBIC FEET A SECOND. IT'S STILL IT'S AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF WATER, BUT BECAUSE WE WERE ACCOMMODATING TO THEM UP UNTIL NOW. THERE IS THE HOPE THAT WE CAN SAY TO THEM. LOOK, THERE'S TOXICITY IN THE WATER. THERE'S BLUE GREEN ALGAE. CAN YOU STOP RELEASING AT THE MOMENT TO US? SO BEN HOGARTH AND I WILL BE MEETING WITH LIEUTENANT COLONEL POKE ON WEDNESDAY. VERY SMALL GROUP, ONLY EIGHT OF US THERE. AND WE WILL BEGIN THOSE NEGOTIATIONS. I HOPE, UM. BUT JUST TO REITERATE WHAT COMMISSIONER COLLINS SAYS. WE DO NEED WHEN I GO MEET WITH THESE PEOPLE. OR COMMISSIONER COLLINS MEETS WITH WE NEED TO SPEAK WITH THE VOICE OF THE COMMISSION, AND SO WE NEED TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES AND MAKE A DECISION AS TO YOU KNOW WHAT OUR POSITION IS? THE SAME. UM LET ME GO TO THE CONCERNS EXPRESSED BY THE MAYOR.

SO I'M ON THE ADVERSITY ADD ADVOCACY COMMITTEE FOR THE TREASURE COAST REGION, FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES AND THIS IS A VERY ACTIVE GROUP. WE GET A BLAST EMAIL ON MONDAY AND WE HAVE AN HOUR AND A HALF CALL ON THURSDAY, A ZOOM MEETING WITH PROFESSIONAL LOBBYISTS, AND IT'S LIKE DRINKING FROM A FIREHOSE. THIS IS THE MOST HIGH POWERED GROUP OF PEOPLE. I LEARNED VERY QUICKLY THAT WHEN THAT MEETING STARTS, YOU BETTER HAVE YOUR PEN IN YOUR HAND BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST COMING AT YOU. SO, MR MAYOR , SENATE BILL ONE. OH, TWO WAS ON OUR LIST. FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, AND IT IS OFF NOW. AS OF THIS MORNING. SO THEY DO NOT FEEL THAT IN ITS PRESENT FORM THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE THROUGH NOW. I WILL GET AN UPDATE FOR YOU. BUT WE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THAT TWICE A WEEK FOR THE PAST THREE WEEKS, AND NOW IT'S AS OF THIS MORNING. I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT. YEAH. OKAY, SO HERE THE BILLS ARE ASKING US TO WATCH SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY. AND NOT WE TALKED ABOUT THIS RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PERMITS PARTISAN LOCAL ELECTIONS, WHICH I THINK IS HORRIBLE. THEY WANT ALL ELECTIONS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE STATE TO BE PARTISAN. IN A TIME WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, UH. FIND WAYS TO AVOID DIVISION THEY WANT TO MAKE, YOU KNOW THE POOR CITIES. STEWART COMMISSIONER RACE PARTISAN, THERE'S JUST NO NEED FOR THAT SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT. UM MR DICE. I THINK I SENT YOU SOME INFORMATION. THIS IS A VERY PECULIAR ONE, AND IT WOULD AFFECT US POTENTIAL, RIGHT? FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES FOR LOCAL OFFICERS, WHICH WE WOULD HAVE TO IT'S CALLED FORM SIX. WE WOULD ALL HAVE TO FILE THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE FORM AS REQUIRED REVISED LIMITATIONS ON INCREASES OF HOMESTEAD PROPERTY TAX ASSESSMENTS, AND I ASKED JULIE TO TALK TO THE PROPERTY APPRAISER TO GET A NUMBER FROM THEM. IT'S NOT INCONSIDERABLE AT ALL. AND THE LOCAL OFFICIALS EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS. SO THOSE ARE THE 1234567. THOSE ARE THE SEVEN THEY'RE SAYING WE NEED TO BE MOST WORRIED ABOUT I WILL BE IN TALLAHASSEE, COURTESY OF THE TREASURE COAST REGION FOR ILLEGAL CITIES, THE 14TH TO THE 16TH. OUR FIRST MEETING NEXT MONTH IS THE 13TH. SO I'M GONNA

[00:35:02]

[COMMENTS BY CITY MANAGER]

THEY'RE SMALL SHOES. AND MR MARTEL HAS AN ITEM THAT HE NEEDS TO DISCUSS WITH OCCURRED AT OUR LAST MEETING. AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED IN YOUR MINUTES, UH, TO BE ADOPTED ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA.

AT THE LAST MEETING, THERE WAS A VOTE AS IT RELATED TO RESOLUTION 10 DISH 2023. AND BECAUSE OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WERE TAKING PLACE AT THE TIME, THE CITY DID NOT, UM, DOCUMENT THE VOTE.

FROM, UH. ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS AND AS A RESULT, BUT WE DECIDED TO DO TO RESOLVE IT IS WE'RE GONNA ASK COMMISSIONER RICH IF HE WOULD SIMPLY VOTE AGAIN TODAY. I'M GOING TO READ THE TITLE OF THE RESOLUTION SO THAT WE CAN RECORD THE VOTE BECAUSE WE DID NOT RECORD IT AND THAT WOULD BE RESOLUTION NUMBER 10-23 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE AWARD OF SUB EVERY SUB RECIPIENT AGREEMENT TO SAFE SPACE INC FOR SUPPORT OF RESPONSE TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AT A TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $500,000 THROUGH DECEMBER, 31ST 2020 FOR AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR HIS DESIGNEE TO EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS NECESSARY TO EXECUTE THIS TRANSACTION. APPROVING THE APPROPRIATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $500,000 FROM THE UN APPROPRIATED BALANCE OF THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT FUND TO RESPONSE TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, SLASH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. AND THERE WAS A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE. AND THERE WAS SOME CAN SOME CONFUSION AND FOR SOME REASON,

[00:40:01]

[APPROVAL OF AGENDA]

SECOND OKAY. AND COMMISSIONER RICHARD PLEASE SPEAK INTO YOUR MICROPHONE SO WE CAN HEAR YOU MOVED BY COMMISSIONER RITT SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER CLARK IN FAVOR. SAY AYE AYE. ANY

[COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC (3 Minutes Max.)]

PLEASE. STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. OKAY. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS YVETTE WARTA. CLARK AND I LIVE AT 100, SOUTHWEST ATLANTA AVENUE AND STUART, FLORIDA RIGHT NEXT TO SUNSET BAY MARINA IN A HOUSE THAT WAS BUILT IN 19. OH, EIGHT. AWESOME THERE SINCE 2001. EMERGENCY ROOM PHYSICIAN IN THE COMMUNITY FOR 20 YEARS AND RETIRED IN 2016. THE PURPOSE OF MY PUBLIC COMMENT IS TO BRING ATTENTION TO SOME EXTREME FLOODING THAT HAPPENS AT THE BASE OF SOUTHWEST WEST ANCHORAGE WAY WHEREAS SUNSET BAY MARINA HAS BEEN BUILT AND GILBERT COFFEE BAR IS AND I'D LIKE TO WORK WITH THE CITY ON A SOLUTION FOR THIS. UM JUST A LITTLE HISTORY. THIS CITY. THE PROPERTY AT SUNSET BAY MARINA IS LAND LEASED BY THE CITY OF STEWART. AND WE WERE IN ALL THE WORKSHOPS AND EVERYTHING TO HAVE EVERYTHING DONE THERE. IT'S A WONDERFUL FACILITY, UH, THE VERY END OF SOUTHWEST ANCHORAGE WAY TRADITIONALLY WAS A FLAT SURFACE WITH A SMALL DRAIN THAT DRAINED OUT TO THE, UM UNDERNEATH TO THE RIVER. AND THEN MOST OF THE SURFACE WATER DID COME DOWN THE STREET AND WENT RIGHT INTO THE RIVER. THERE'S NO CATCHMENT BASEMENT ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE ROOSEVELT BRIDGE. FOR RAINWATER. SO WHAT HAS HAPPENED NOW THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT AND THROUGH THE BUILDING OF A PATIO ON THAT PUBLIC ACCESS AREA WHERE GILBERT'S BAR IS AND SUNSET BAY MARINA, THEY BUILT A 10 INCH CURB THERE, WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW THE WATER TO COME OFF OF THE SURFACE OF THE ROAD AND GO DOWN TO THE RIVER. THERE IS A CATCHMENT BASIN THAT IN MILTON HAS WORKED. FLAWLESSLY TO TRY TO WORK TO BE SURE ALL OF THAT IS RUNNING. BUT THE PROBLEM IS, IS THE DISCHARGE TO THE RIVER, WHICH IS SCREENS SO THAT NOTHING GOES INTO THE RIVERBED, BUT IT IS BELOW THE HIGH, UH, HIGH WATER LEVEL NOW AND WITH WITH THE LAKE UP HIGH AND EVERYTHING THAT'S LITERALLY ALMOST 50% OF THE TIME. THERE IS NO DRAINAGE THERE, AND WHAT DOES HAPPEN IS THE STREET GETS FLOODED ALL THE WAY UP HALFWAY UP ANCHORAGE WAY. IT'S AND IT COMES UNDERNEATH OUR RENTAL PROPERTIES, WHICH IS, UM WHICH WERE BUILT IN 1940 WIPING OUT THE PILINGS, AND WE'VE HAD TO PUT ACTUALLY DRAINS IN OUR SEA WALL WITH WITH EXHAUST VALVES ON THE RIVER SIDE, SO THAT WHEN IT DOES RAIN, AND I'M NOT TALKING STORMS, JUST RAIN. THE WATER GOES OUT FROM OUR YARD INTO THE RIVER. UM SO WHAT I'D LIKE TO PROPOSE IF WE CAN, AND I WILL GIVE YOU ALL INFORMATION AND PICTURES AND ALL THE INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED. I'M JUST LOOKING FOR A WAY TO BE ABLE TO PROPOSED SURFACE TRAIN THAT GOES ON THE BRICKS SO THAT WHEN IT DOES GET TO THE TOP WHEN

[00:45:06]

SEND EMAILS WITH PICTURES IN. WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE A RESOLUTION BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THREE YEARS AGO, WE ACTUALLY HAD A SINKHOLE ON THAT STREET. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I APPRECIATE THE ATTENTION, AND, UH THEY HAVE A RED LIGHT OVER THERE, PAUL SAID. I HOPE I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER GREEN CARDS. SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE CASSETTE CALENDAR. DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT CALENDAR HER MINUS ITEM NUMBER THREE APPROVAL. SECOND OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER CLARK TO APPROVE THIS CONSENT CALENDAR, EXCLUDING ITEM THREE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER. EXCUSE ME, VICE MAYOR BRUNER TO HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. COME ON UP MARK. IF YOU AS ALWAYS, PLEASE FILL OUT A GREEN CARD WHEN YOU'RE DONE MARGARETVILLE TO EIGHT SOUTHEAST AS YOU ON THE STREET AND STUART.

I JUST WANTED BECAUSE IT WAS PART OF THE CONSENT CALENDAR. I JUST WANTED TO CONGRATULATE THE QANTAS CLUB OF STEWART AND THIS COMMISSION AND PREVIOUS COMMISSIONS FOR ALL THE WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE ON THAT PARK FOR ALL OF THE EFFORT THEY PUT INTO IT. UM SUSIE HUTCHISON AND KEITH MUNEZ SAW THE VISION THAT WE COULD HAVE A PARK THAT ALLOWS EVERY PERSON REGARDLESS OF THEIR DISABILITY OR HANDICAPPED TO PARTICIPATE, JUST LIKE ANYBODY ELSE, AND THOSE THAT CLUB HAS DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB IN TERMS IN TERMS OF INCLUSION, AND IN TERMS OF THE THINGS THAT THEY'VE GOT DONE WITH THAT, AND THE CITY HAS MATCHED THAT TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. WE'VE GOT ONE OF THE GREATEST PARKS IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA PROBABLY IN THE UNITED STATES IN TERMS OF HOW IT'S BEEN PUT TOGETHER, SO I JUST THOUGHT IT DESERVED A LITTLE BIT OF RECOGNITION FOR ALL OF YOU AND FOR THEM FOR THE EFFORT THAT THEY PUT IN ON THAT. THANK YOU, MARK FAMILY IMPORTANT. CAN I SAY SOMETHING? WE GOT ONE MORE PUBLIC COMMENT THAT YES, I PROBABLY ONE ITEM OF VIRGINIA HILL. I LOVE THE SHIRT. YES DO COINCIDENCE. UM I'M VIRGINIA HILL. UM MANY OF YOU KNOW ME FROM A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT I'M CURRENT PRESIDENT OF THE QANTAS CLUB OF STEWART AND WE ARE HERE TO THANK YOU, UM, IN REGARDS TO WHAT WE DO FEEL IS AN INCREDIBLE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE HAD WITH THE CITY OF THE STEWART ON OUR PARK. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PARK FOR 33 YEARS. THIS LAST SECTION IS OF HUGE IMPORTANCE TO, UH, ALL OF US HERE IN THIS COMMUNITY AS IT WILL BE THE ONLY SECTION ANYWHERE WITHIN THIS COUNTY FOR CHILDREN THAT ARE OLDER. IT WILL BE A CHALLENGING AREA OF PLAYGROUND THAT IS NOT AVAILABLE TO THE CHILDREN OF MARTIN COUNTY ANYWHERE MORE THAN AN HOUR'S DRIVE FROM HERE. IT WILL ALSO MAKE THE VERY LAST SECTION OF OUR PART COMPLETELY ACCESSIBLE. FOR HANDICAP AS WELL AS PARENTS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN IN STROLLERS , AND THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT PART. UM OF WHY WE ARE ALL HERE TODAY. WE ARE SO HAPPY THAT WE CAN SAY THAT WE HAVE MET OUR COMMITMENT TO RAISING THE FUNDS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS. WE FEEL LIKE IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF THE FIELD OF DREAMS. IF WE BUILD IT, THOSE KIDS WILL COME. WE STARTED BUILDING IT 33 YEARS AGO, AND THOSE KIDS DID COME THAT PARK IS ABSOLUTELY COVERED IN CHILDREN, AND IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THIS COMMUNITY. UM I NEVER WORKED IN THAT PARK MORE THAN 30 MINUTES THAT I AM NOT STOPPED BY SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO TELL ME HOW IMPORTANT THAT PARK IS TO THEM, AND THAT DEFINITELY MEANS A LOT . UM SO I DO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT. I ALSO WANT TO INVITE ALL OF YOU OUT TO OUR PANCAKES AND READING IN THE PARK ON SATURDAY, MARCH 4TH. IT WILL BE OUR 12TH ANNUAL EVENT. TO PROMOTE LITERACY AMONG THE CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT WE ARE ALL SADDENED BY DAVID DIOCESE LEAVING AND THAT, UH, WE HAVE WE HAVE VERY MUCH ENJOYED WORKING WITH HIM AND MILTON LEGGETT IS AN ABSOLUTE JEWEL. SO THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, AND WE ALL APPRECIATE IT. AND DON'T DON'T WALK AWAY YET. DON'T WALK AWAY YET IN MILTON IS A JEWEL. YEAH NO, I JUST I JUST WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE WANDA'S WAS HERE. UM AND. HOW GRATEFUL WE ARE TO HAVE YOU AND WHAT YOU'VE DONE AND THE MONEY THAT YOU RAISE IS AMAZING. AND WILL THERE BE GREEN EGGS AND HAM SATURDAY? THERE ABSOLUTELY WILL BE. YES YES, WE ARE. WE ARE ACTUALLY CELEBRATING OUR 85TH BIRTHDAY THIS YEAR WE STARTED IN 1938 HERE IN THE CITY OF STEWART AND I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH THE HISTORY TO PULL THAT EVENT TOGETHER. AND THE AMOUNT OF THINGS THAT WE HAVE DONE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF STEWART IS UNBELIEVABLE. WHEN I

JUST SO YOU GUYS ARE AWARE A FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION. IS A ONE HEARING MATTER. SO AT THE LAST HEARING THIS PROPERTY CONTINGENT UPON ANNEXATION. THE COMMISSION VOTED TO ASSIGN A FUTURE LAND USE OF COMMERCIAL TO THE PROPERTY, WHICH IS A HAPPENED NOW THAT THE ORDINANCE NUMBER AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SIX WAS APPROVED. IT IS NOW HAS A FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF COMMERCIAL WITHIN THE FUTURE LAND USE OF COMMERCIAL THIS AGENDA ITEM IS SEEKING TO DESIGNATE THE ZONING TO BE BE FOUR. BUSINESS MANUFACTURING. OKAY. COMMISSIONER COLLINS, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR COMING? ALRIGHT SO LOOKING ON THE SITE PLAN, AND THIS IS NOT THIS IS NOT REALLY EVEN DIRECTED AT STEWART. OUT OF ALL, IT'S ALMOST A LIABILITY THAT I PAINT POTENTIALLY SEE WITHIN OUR PROCESS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO JUST TALK ABOUT GOING FORWARD.

WITH THE FLEX WAREHOUSE DESIGNATION. THERE IS BUILDINGS. FROM SPEAKING ALMOST TO JODI.

[01:05:01]

PURELY, UM THOSE ARE THE AUTO AUTO VAULT. BUT MY CONCERN IS SORT OF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PROJECT BUILDINGS ONE THROUGH SIX. SO WITHIN THE FLEX WAREHOUSE. DESIGNATION. THIS THIS ENTIRE AREA IS WHERE HOUSE USE BASICALLY, WE'RE LOOKING AT . 235,000 SQUARE FEET OF WAREHOUSE. UM AND 13,860 SQUARE FEET. DESIGNATED FOR OFFICE USE RIGHT. SO THAT'S ROUGHLY ABOUT FROM DOING MY MATH. RIGHT? 17% OF THIS PROJECT IS CLASSIFIED AS OFFICE. EVEN THOUGH. POTENTIALLY AND YOU KNOW I'M NOT IN THE WEEDS LIKE YOU WITH THIS, BUT WITHIN THE FLEX WAREHOUSE DESIGNATION. MORE THAN HALF OF THIS PROJECT. EVERYTHING ON THE LEFT COULD POTENTIALLY BE USED FOR OFFICE. AND HERE'S HERE'S MY WHERE I'M SORT OF CONCERNED IS. THE PARKING SO WE'VE DESIGNATED THIS ALMOST THE ENTIRE PROJECT. SAVE 50 SPACES, 49 SPACES AS YOU KNOW WHERE HOUSE PARKING, WHICH IS SOME OF THE LEAST. LOWEST LEVEL OF PARKING REQUIREMENTS HERE AT ONE PER 1000 SQUARE FEET, VERSUS ONE PER 300 FOR OFFICE SPACE. THIS ALMOST THIS ENTIRE PROJECT IS BASICALLY WAREHOUSE LEVEL PARKING. YET THE FLEX WAREHOUSE SEEMS LIKE IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A LOOPHOLE.

FOR THAT PROJECT TO BECOME OFFICE. BASICALLY MINUS THE AUTO VAULT. UM, WITHIN THE FLEX WAREHOUSE DESIGNATION, SO MY THAT ALL SAID. MY QUESTIONS ARE HOW DO WE FROM US CITY STAFF.

HOW DO YOU. ONCE THAT AND THIS IS THIS IS ALL BY, RIGHT. THIS IS NOT EVEN GOING TO COME IN FRONT OF US. SO I'M ASKING, YOU KNOW, HOW DO YOU GUARANTEE, AND THEN I DON'T WANT TO COME ACROSS AS ACCUSING JEREMIAH OF GOING THIS ROUTE. I DON'T BUT I DO SEE A POTENTIAL LOOPHOLE HERE IF I WAS A DEVELOPER THAT WANTED TO GET THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF SQUARE FOOTAGE BY MINIMIZING THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS BY DESIGNATING EVERYTHING WAREHOUSE AND THEN FILLING IT IN WITH FLEX. HOW DO WE GUARANTEE THAT THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN ON YOUR END ? BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE IF WE DON'T WHAT DO YOU DO CODE ENFORCE IT AND IS THAT THE LOOPHOLE IS THEY KNOW WE CAN'T POTENTIALLY ENFORCED THAT SO AND AGAIN I'M NOT ACCUSING YOU, JEREMIAH, YOU KNOW, DON'T GIVE ME THE HATCHET, BUT I JUST DON'T WANT US TO GET IN A POSITION WE'RE GOING FORWARD. THIS IS SORT OF SETTING A PRECEDENT FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND IF IT JUST LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROCESS COMMISSIONER CARD. I THINK I CAN MAYBE HELP. UH, ONE IS YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY, EVERY BUSINESS THAT MOVES IN THERE WILL HAVE TO COME AND GET A BUSINESS RECEIPT TAX. AND WHEN WE DO THAT, WE CHECKED THE ZONING FOR WHAT THERE IS ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO DO A BUILD OUT? THEY'RE REQUIRED TO GET A BUILDING PERMIT. THAT BEING SAID NOT EVERYBODY DOES THAT IN OCCASIONALLY. THAT THOSE THINGS YOU KNOW SOME OF US SOMEBODY REPORTS THAT WE DON'T ALWAYS KNOW. UM OVER AND CENTRAL PARKWAY. THERE IS A COUPLE FLEX SPACE IS AND I WOULD SAY THAT, UH, THOUGH I THINK THAT MAYBE ONE OR TWO OF THEM HAVE BEEN PROBABLY CONVERTED THE OFFICES OR A FEW OF THEM. UM PARDON AN ISSUE. YEAH IT'S NOT REALLY AN ISSUE AND I DON'T GO THERE MUCH ANYMORE, BUT I USED TO GO. THERE WAS A COUPLE OF BUSINESS I USED TO FREQUENT AND AMONG CENTRAL PARKWAY EVERY DAY, SO I SEE THE PARKING AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A THE PARKING DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AN ISSUE THERE. UM IF THERE WAS ANY PLACE, I WOULD SAY THAT WOULD BE MORE OF LIKE YOUR WAREHOUSE. FLEX SPACE WOULD BE THAT PARKING PART OF AN ISSUE WOULD BE LIKE CONTRACTORS, WAREHOUSE OR SHOWCASE. I'M NOT SURE IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR OVER OFF OF WHAT WHAT WROTE, IS THAT, UH , DICKER DECKER? YEAH, OFF A DECKER WHERE IT'S JUST, I THINK PURELY OFF PURELY WAREHOUSE. AND OVER THE YEARS, THE BUSINESSES HAVE BUILT A LITTLE. YOU KNOW A LITTLE SMALL CUBICLE IN THE FRONT FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS TO COME IN. AND PROBABLY THE AIR CONDITIONER SOMETHING WHILE THEY'RE WHILE THEY'RE DOING THEIR OFFICE WORK. UH I SEE MORE OF A PARKING PROBLEM THERE. UM

[01:10:05]

BUT ON JODI EVER. I MEAN, WHEN THE PERMIT IS ISSUED, I SUPPOSE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION THEY CAN BASE IT WILL BE BASED UPON WHATEVER IS SUBMITTED MR COLLINS . IF I MAY, THIS PROJECT WILL BE COMING FOR THE BOARD AND YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO DISCUSS. AT THAT TIME. THIS IS A MAJOR DEVELOPMENT PD. NO, IT'S JUST IT'S JUST BECAUSE IT'S MORE THAN 30,000 GOT. IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE IT'S KIND OF THIS CRAZY THING WHERE YOU CAN'T REALLY BOTH KNOW WE CAN ASK THEM, BUT YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS AND THAT WE COULD WE CAN'T CONDITION ALLIES IT BECAUSE DEEP STRAIGHT ZONING THE HARD WAY THAT THE THREAT OF A LAWSUIT THAT THAT YOU CANNOT CONDITIONAL EYES THESE THINGS, WHICH IS UNFORTUNATE, BECAUSE I DID, AND , UH, THE IT TOOK. WHAT ABOUT 12 HOURS FOR THE LETTER TO SHOW THEY WERE GONNA SUE US. WE'LL BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT IT, THEN.

[01:15:12]

UM THIS WAS PRIOR TO THE FIRST COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WITHIN THE CITY OF STEWART, AND AT THE TIME THIS AREA WAS DESIGNATED MULTI FAMILY AND OUR THREE ZONING DESIGNATION. IN 1993. THEY CHANGED THE FUTURE LAND USE FROM WHAT THEY FAMILY TO INSTITUTIONAL FOR THE EVENT FOR THE ABUNDANT LIFE MINISTRY CHURCH, ZANNI REMAINED AS OUR. THREE IN 2007, A FUTURE LAND USE AMENDMENT FROM INSTITUTIONAL COMMERCIAL AND REZONING TO OUR THREE TO ALLOW FOR COMMERCIAL PLAN DEVELOPMENT FOR A RESIDENT FOR A PROFESSIONAL AND MEDICAL OFFICE CENTER. AND AT THAT SAME TIME, THE CHURCH THAT WAS WAS EXISTENCE WAS DEMOLISHED AND THE SITE HAS REMAINED MAIN VACANT.

THE PETITION TONIGHT HISTORY. THE EXISTING LAND USE RIGHT NOW IS A COMMERCIAL LAND USE. AND THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING. REQUESTING THAT THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT BE CHANGED TO A MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. WHEN STAFF IS EVALUATING THE DATA ANALYSIS . ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT WE LOOK AT IS THE FUTURE LAND. USE THE FOREST STATUTE 163.3177. AND THESE ARE THE SNAPSHOTS OF SOME OF THE ANALYSIS THAT WERE PROVIDED IN THE STAFF REPORT. THIS IS THE OVERALL ANALYSIS OF EACH AREA THAT WE DO EVALUATE. THIS IS THE OVERALL TOPOGRAPHIC SIX OF THE SITE. THIS IS THE WETLAND SURVEY THAT THEY PROVIDED AND THERE WAS NO WETLANDS IDENTIFIED ON THE PROPERTY. ONE OF THE THINGS ALSO , WE HAVE TO LOOK AT IS THE HABITAT AND IF THERE'S ANY CONSERVATION AREAS, AND IT WAS DETERMINED, THERE'S NO HABITAT CONSERVATION AREAS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED. THIS AREA IS LOCATED WITHIN THE PROTECTION WELL FILLED NUMBER DOWN TO WHICH PROHIBITS ANY NONRESIDENTIAL ACTIVITIES WHICH STORE OR HANDLE PRODUCE ANY REGULATED SUBSTANCE.

UM FOR THE MARTIN COUNTY COULD'VE ORDINANCE. UM WE ALSO WOULD REEVALUATE THIS SOIL. IN THIS CASE, UM, THE WAVE LAND AND IMMOKALEE SOILS, WHICH IS A POORLY DRAINED TYPE OF SOIL IS COMMONLY FOUND THROUGHOUT THE CITY. THE FLOODPLAIN. THIS AREA IS NOT LOCATED WITHIN THE FLOOD ZONE. ONE OF THE OTHER EVALUATIONS THAT WE DO IS TO TRAFFIC CONCURRENCY AND BACK IN WHEN THIS PROJECT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED AS A COMMERCIAL PLAN DEVELOPMENT, UM AS YOU PROBABLY ARE. THE TRAFFIC WAS A DEMAND IS SHOWING A NEGATIVE. AH DECREASE IN TRIPS FROM 11,151 DAILY

[01:20:09]

MY NAME IS BOB RAINS. LANEY'S ATTORNEY WITH THE GUN STIR LAW FIRM AND I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT THIS EVENING. ALSO WITH ME IS AUDRA CREECH, WHO IS ALSO A LANDINGS ATTORNEY WITH THE GUSTER LAW FIRM AND IN A MOMENT SHE'S GOING TO BE COMING UP AND MAKING A PRESENTATION REGARDING A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL WITH RESPECT TO THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU TODAY AND SOME OF THE REQUIREMENTS HER PRESENTATION WILL ACTUALLY FOCUS ON THREE AREAS. THE FIRST PART IS GOING TO BE THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS PURSUANT TO THE FLORIDA STATUTES AND YOUR CITY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND HOW THOSE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS ARE NECESSARY . IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE COMPLYING WITH YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ALSO IN ANALYZING AND DETERMINING THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING. THE SECOND PART WILL KIND OF FOCUS ON THE DATA AND ANALYSIS THAT'S REQUIRED THAT MR KELLOGG ALERT JUST TOUCHED ON VERY BRIEFLY AND DETERMINING WHETHER WE MEET THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AND YOU ALL MEET THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS OR YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THEN THE THIRD PART WILL BE SPECIFIC TO THE SITE. HERE WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THE LAND USE REQUEST BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING AND HOW WE BELIEVE THAT WE CAN DEMONSTRATE THAT WE DO MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE FLORIDA STATUTES AND THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THROUGH THE APPROPRIATE DATA AND ANALYSIS, SO I'LL HAVE HER COME UP IN JUST A SECOND AS SOON AS SHE FINISHES HER PRESENTATION WILL BE GLAD I'LL COME BACK UP. WE'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. SHE'S GOT A NUMBER OF SLIDES. IF YOU WANT US TO GO BACK TO A SLIDE OR WHATNOT. WE'RE HAPPY TO ELABORATE ON THAT AFTER THE PRESENTATION, SO WITH THAT AUDREY. THANK YOU, MR RAINES. I'M A LITTLE VERTICALLY CHALLENGED. I'M GOING TO BRING THIS DOWN. IF YOU CAN'T HEAR ME, PLEASE TELL ME SO. THANK YOU, JODY. SO I'M ONTO CREECH. I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT REGARDING THE SMALL SCALE FUTURE LAND USE CHANGE. YOU ALL HAVE SEEN PART OF THIS, UH OR AT LEAST HAVE SEEN THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY BEFORE. I DO WANT TO CLARIFY THAT BECAUSE THIS IS A SMALL SCALE LAND USE CHANGE. AND PLEASE, MR MARTEL, CORRECT ME.

IF I'M WRONG. THIS SHOULD BE A LEGISLATIVE DECISION. THE NEXT PART IS THE QUASI JUDICIAL DECISION SO IT IS A LEGISLATIVE DECISION. HOWEVER THE CITY HISTORICALLY BECAUSE OF THE PROCESS THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE OF THE PRAYER CITY ATTORNEY SLASH CITY MANAGER PAUL MICHELETTI, GET INTO THE PRACTICE OF PUTTING QUASI JUDICIAL ON THE AGENDA ITEMS SO THAT THE COMMISSIONERS WOULD KNOW THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A PROCESS OF GOING THROUGH A COLLOQUY LISTED ON A SHEET OF

[01:25:06]

IT IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING AND CONSTANTLY FLUCTUATING. HOWEVER WE HAVE TO MAKE DECISIONS BASED OFF WHAT THE LAW IS NOW. UM AND TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY, MAKE THEM ON WHAT THE LAW IS NOW, SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING TO GO. SO FIRST. WHAT'S THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CITY PURSUANT TO FLORIDA LAW WHEN IT COMES TO JUST GENERALLY GENERALLY? YOU AS A MUNICIPALITY HAS THE POWER AND RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT IS IN A MANNER SET OUT IN FLORIDA STATUTE CHAPTER 1 63, AND YOU SHALL, AS IN IT IS MANDATORY. YOU SHALL AMEND IT EXISTED THE EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO CONFORM IT TO CHAPTER 1 63. SO WHAT DOES CONFORM AND OR COMPLIANCE MEANS? WELL, THAT'S DEFINED. 1 63.3184 SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT IN COMPLIANCE MEANS INCONSISTENT WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF 1 63.3177. THERE ARE OTHER SECTIONS THAT I DIDN'T ADHERE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT OVERLY APPLICABLE. SO THESE 3177 IS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS BECAUSE IT IS THE APPLICABLE PART OF THE STATUTE. SO WHAT IS 3177 SAY? WELL PARTS ONE AND TWO SPECIFICALLY SAYS THAT A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND I'M SURE MOST OF YOU HAVE SEEN THIS AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE DURING YOUR TENURE MUST BE CLEARLY BASED ON APPROPRIATE DATA. WHAT IS APPROPRIATE DATA MEAN? IT MEANS THAT THE DATA MUST AND THAT IS A MANDATORY MUST BE TAKEN FROM PROFESSIONALLY ACCEPTED SOURCES. WE WILL PROVIDE VERY, UH, QUITE A FEW PROFESSIONALLY ACCEPTED SOURCES THAT EITHER WERE CREATED BY STATES. SUCH STATE COMMITTEES SUCH AS THE ECONOMIC DEMOGRAPHIC RESEARCH DEPARTMENT, OR WOULD HAVE BEEN CREATED THROUGH PROFESSIONALLY ACCEPTED METHODOLOGY BY THE CITY OF STEWART. AND THAT IS ALL IN YOUR PACKET. THAT IS ALL PART OF THE EVIDENCE THAT SUPPORTS THIS PARTICULAR PRESENTATION. AND AS MR RAINES DISCUSSED IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS AS TO THAT WE HAVE OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER. WE HAVE VARIOUS PROFESSIONALS HERE THAT CAN HELP YOU WITH THOSE QUESTIONS. SO 3177 SUBSECTION THREE STATES THAT A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SHALL AND WHENEVER IT'S A SHELL, IT'S A MANDATORY THE BASED UPON PERMANENT AND SEASONAL POPULATION ESTIMATES AND PROJECTIONS, WHICH SHALL ONCE AGAIN MANDATORY EITHER BE THOSE PUBLISHED BY THE OFFICE OF ECONOMIC DEMOGRAPHIC RESEARCH. OR GENERATED BY THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT, WHICH IS THE CITY OF STEWART BASED OFF PROFESSIONALLY ACCEPTED METHODOLOGY. SO NOW THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED WHAT KIND OF DATA? WHAT NATURE? WHAT CHARACTER OF DATA YOU ALL REALLY NEED TO CONSIDER IN REGARDS TO THIS. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MUST ALSO BE BASED ON AT LEAST AT LEAST A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF LAND REQUIRED TO ACCOMMODATE THE MEDIUM PROJECTIONS OF POPULATION. AND OVER A 10 YEAR PLANNING PERIOD. ADDITIONALLY, UM. EACH MUNICIPALITY AND UNINCORPORATED AREA. WITH SANTA COUNTY MUST. MANDATORY ADD A MINIMUM, BE REFLECTIVE OF EACH AREAS PROPORTIONAL SHARE. OF THE TOTAL COUNTY POPULATION AND THE TOTAL COUNTY POPULATION GROWTH. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT PROPORTIONAL SHARE IS. I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO TRY TO TELL YOU WHAT THAT PROPORTIONAL SHARE IS.

I GUESS WE WILL FIND OUT SO AS TO HOW MUCH THAT'S GOING TO BE. WHO KNOWS? NOW IN A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THERE ARE SPECIFIC LAND USE ELEMENTS THAT MUST BE A PART OF THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, INCLUDING IN THE FUTURE LAND USE DISCUSSIONS. SO UNDER FLORIDA STATUTE, 1 63.31776. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SHALL INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ELEMENTS. DESIGNATING PROPOSED FUTURE GENERAL DISTRIBUTION FOR RESIDENTIAL USES, AMONG OTHERS. SO UNFORTUNATELY, YOU CAN'T HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THEN NOT HAVE A FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR ONE OF THE ELEMENTS THAT ARE REQUIRED UNDER STATUTE. NOW WE TALKED ABOUT THE DATA. WHAT NATURE? IT HAS TO BE WHERE IT NEEDS TO COME FROM. WHAT THE POPULAR HELL POPULATION FEEDS INTO THE ELEMENTS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WHAT TYPE OF ELEMENTS NEED TO BE THERE. NOW WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE ANALYSIS MISS NETWORK DID BRING UP THE THREE PARTS. THERE ARE THREE PARTS UNDER STATUTE.

THAT MUST BE A PART OF THE ANALYSIS WHEN YOU DO A CONSIDERATION FOR SMALL SCALE LAND USE CHANGE. FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENTS SHALL BE BASED UPON THE FOLLOWING ANALYSIS,

[01:30:07]

[01:35:02]

THIS IS NOT MY LANGUAGE. I PROMISE. IT CAME EXACTLY FROM THE PROPERTY APPRAISES WEBSITE.

I DON'T KNOW WHY IT SAYS THAT, BUT IT DOES SO. THE NEXT ONE RIGHT UNDERNEATH SOUTHEAST CENTRAL PARKWAY IS A HOME FOR THE AGED. AND I'M SORRY. THAT WAS NOT MY LANGUAGE. BUT REGARDLESS, IT IS SURROUNDED BY MIXED MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. SO WHAT ABOUT THE HISTORY NOW? MISS NETWORK ALREADY KIND OF TOUCHED ON IT A LITTLE BIT, BUT WHAT SHE DIDN'T TOUCH ON IS THAT THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY WAS ORIGINALLY SET UP TO BE FACED 78 AND NINE OF TOWN PARK. IT WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED 1982 TO BE A PART OF TOWN PARK, WHICH IS A MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY. THAT'S WHY HE WAS ORIGINALLY ZONED OR LAND USE. DESIGNATED MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. IN 1989. IT WAS STILL MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. HOWEVER AS PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED , IT WAS CHANGED TO INSTITUTIONAL IN 1993 THEN CHANGED AGAIN TO COMMERCIAL IN 2007, AND THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT JUST ENDED. IT STAYED VACANT FOR 15, PLUS YEARS AS A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY. WE'RE SIMPLY REQUESTING IN THIS PARTICULAR SMALL SCALE LAND USE CHANGE TO SIMPLY RETURN IT TO ITS ORIGINAL STATE, WHICH WAS AS A MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOT.

POLICY BE 0.3 POINT TWO AGAIN. IS THIS PARTICULAR PROPOSAL FOR SMALL SCALE LAND USE, CHANGE, COMPATIBLE AND COMPLEMENTARY TO THE SURROUNDING LAND USES? YES SHALIT UNDULY AFFECT THE AREAS AROUND IT. THE EXISTING APPROVED ACTIVITIES KNOW AND WE WILL GO FURTHER INTO DETAIL ON THAT IN A MINUTE. NOW REMEMBER WHEN I WENT THROUGH THAT REALLY SEMI DANCE FLORIDA LAW. WELL, WE'RE GOING TO GET BACK TO IT. DISCOURAGEMENT OF URBAN SPRAWL IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MUST BE CONSIDERED IN A SMALL SCALE LAND USE CHANGE. SO DOES THIS PROJECT OR DOES IT NOT DISCOURAGE URBAN SPRAWL? WELL IT'S A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT. SO SUBSECTION NINE A OF THE STATUTE, AND THERE ARE TWO SECTIONS UNDER THE STATUTE THAT DEAL WITH URBAN SPRAWL. THE 1ST 19, A HAS AN UNFORTUNATE LITTLE QUIRK. IT HAS A DOUBLE NEGATIVE. APPARENTLY, WHOEVER WAS DRAFTING THIS COMPLETELY FORGOT THEIR GRAMMAR SCHOOL. SO THIS GETS A LITTLE COMPLICATED.

THIS IS INDICATORS THAT A PLAN OR PLAN AMENDMENT DOES NOT DISCOURAGE, AS IN ALLOWS THE PROLIFERATION OF URBAN SPRAWL. SO WE DON'T WANT THE PROLIFERATION OF URBAN SPRAWL, RIGHT? I MEAN, I WOULDN'T OKAY PROLIFERATION OF URBAN SPRAWL. WE DON'T WANT IT. SO NO IS A GOOD THING WE WANT KNOWS IN THIS PARTICULAR CATEGORY. SO WE HAVE . OUT OF THE 13 CRITERIA UNDER FLORIDA STATUTE. THE APPLICANT HAS A NO. WHICH IS WHAT WE WANT FOR 12. AND THE ONLY ONE THAT DOESN'T HAVE A NO FOR IS NOT APPLICABLE. ALRIGHT NOW WE GET TO THE SECOND PORTION THAT DEALS WITH URBAN SPRAWL. IT IS NINE B , AND IN THIS PARTICULAR PORTION IT REQUIRES THAT AN APPLICANT MEET AT LEAST FOUR OUT OF THE EIGHT OF THESE PARTICULAR PARTS OF THIS PARTICULAR PART OF THE STATUTE. AND IN THIS CASE WE WANT YES IS BECAUSE THESE PARTICULAR ITEMS ARE DETERMINED TO DISCOURAGE. SO WE WANT TO DISCOURAGE URBAN'S BROTH. SO YESES ARE GOOD IN THIS PARTICULAR SCENARIO. YOU NEED A MINIMUM OF FOUR OUT OF EIGHT. THE APPLICANT HAS. FIVE WE MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STATUTE FOR NOT PROLIFERATING URBAN SPRAWL UNDER BOTH SECTIONS. NOW.

WHAT ABOUT TRAFFIC? EVERYBODY IS CONCERNED ABOUT TRAFFIC UNDERSTANDABLY. SO WHAT HAPPENS TO TRAFFIC IF THIS PARTICULAR SMALL SCALE LAND USE CHANGES ADOPTED? IF. THE PROPOSED SMALL SCALE LAND USE CHANGES ADOPTED AND IT GOES TO MULTI FAMILY FROM COMMERCIAL. YOU HAVE A DECREASE IN 11,151 DAILY TRIPS. THAT'S A LOT OF TRIPS A DAY. THAT IS DECREASED AND DOES NOT HAPPEN

[01:40:02]

ADDITIONALLY MARTIN COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN ANNEX EVACUATION AND MARTIN COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN 2021 REENTRY ANNEX NOW THE EVACUATION AND REENTRY ANNEX ACTUALLY IS MORE LIKE 24,000 AND CHANGE. BUT BECAUSE OF THAT USE PERMIT FOR POTABLE WATER THAT'S ARE LIMITING CONDITION. SO REMEMBER THE WHOLE ANALYSIS. THE THREE PART ANALYSIS. WELL HERE IT COMES AGAIN. AN ANALYSIS OF THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF LAND NEEDED TO ACHIEVE THE GOALS AND REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SECTION IS A PART OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED UNDER FLORIDA STATUTE. AND HERE'S THE IMPORTANT PART. AMONG OTHERS. IS THAT YOU AS A MUNICIPALITY HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE A BALANCE OF USES. A BALANCE OF USES OF WHAT THE ELEMENTS THAT ARE REQUIRED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THOSE ELEMENTS THAT ARE REQUIRED MUST THEN ACCOMMODATE THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF LAND REQUIRED FOR THE MEDIUM PROJECTIONS OF POPULATION AS PUBLISHED FOR A 10 YEAR PERIOD. SO WHAT DOES THIS HOW DOES THIS APPLY TO STUART? YES, IT'S FLORIDA LAW. BUT HOW DOES IT APPLY? THERE IS NO VACANT MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AT ALL. ZERO. THERE'S GOOSE EGGS UP THERE. REMEMBER THIS? YOU MUST HAVE RESIDENTIAL USES. FOR FUTURE GENERAL DISTRIBUTION. HERE'S YOUR ISSUE. IMBALANCE.

YOU'VE GOT 9197 TOTAL ACRES IN THE CITY. YOU GOT 3994 TOTAL PARCELS IN THE CITY 212 VACANT ACRES, WHICH EXCLUDES THE LOFTS AND VARIOUS OTHER DEVELOPMENTS OF THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED ON SOUTHEAST CENTRAL PARKWAY. AND YOU HAVE 138.27. AND NOW WE'VE ADDED A LITTLE BIT MORE COMMERCIAL. I BELIEVE THE 0.34 NOW ADDED MORE COMMERCIAL. IT'S NOT BUILT YET, BUT IT'S APPROVED. CONSERVATION PARCELS ARE TAKEN OUT. WE'RE NOT GOING TO MESS WITH CONSERVATION. WE'RE JUST NOT SO CONSERVATION IS TAKEN OUT OF THIS CHART. BUT IF WE. MINUS THE 1 38.27 LOST THE

[01:45:01]

OKAY? ADDITIONALLY IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CITY TO HAVE A BALANCE OF USES. AND THE BALANCE IS NOT THERE. THE CITY OF STEWART DOES NOT HAVE A BALANCE OF USES OR FUTURE LAND USE CAPACITY FOR CURRENT POPULATION. SO WHY IS THIS PARTICULAR SMALL SCALE LAND USE? CHANGE APPROPRIATE IT FULFILLS A NEED. WE NEED VACANT MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. TO BALANCE THE USES. WE ALSO NEED MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL BECAUSE OUR MEDIAN PROJECTIONS FOR SEASONAL AND PERMANENT POPULATION ARE MORE THAN WE CAN HOUSE MM HMM. WHY IS THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY SUITED MORE TO MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL THAN IT IS COMMERCIAL? I MEAN, IT'S BEEN VACANT COMMERCIAL FOR 15 PLUS YEARS. BUT BEYOND THAT, WHAT MAKES THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY BETTER SUITED FOR MULTI FAMILY COMMERCIAL. I'M A MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. WELL FIRST MULTI FAMILY WAS ITS ORIGINAL HISTORICAL LAND USE DESIGNATION. IT WAS SLATED TO BE A PART OF TOWN PARK AT ONE POINT. IT IS IMMEDIATELY A BUDDING TOWN PARK , WHICH IS A MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY. ITS IMMEDIATE NEIGHBOR, AND I KNOW I'VE STRESSED THIS. BUT TOWN PARK SUPPORTS THE CHANGE BACK TO MULTI FAMILY. THEY WEREN'T A FAN OF IT WHEN IT WAS TURNED COMMERCIAL BACK IN 2007. THERE IS TRAFFIC CAPACITY FOR THE DAILY TRIPS FOR MAXIMUM MULTI FAMILY BUILD OUT ON SOUTHEAST CENTRAL PARKWAY WITHOUT CHANGING SOUTHEAST CENTRAL PARKWAY. AS COMPARED TO THE COMMERCIAL MAXIMUM BUILD OUT OF AN ADDITIONAL 11,151 DAILY TRIPS.

THERE IS CLOSE ACCESS IF YOU IF YOU ADOPT MULTI FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL AND PEOPLE LIVE HERE , THERE IS CLOSE ACCESS TO BY WALKING AND DRIVING TO COMMERCIAL USES, SUCH AS RESTAURANTS, CARWASHES BIG BOX RETAIL ARTERIAL ROADS SUCH AS MONTEREY AND US ONE, HOWEVER, FOR SAFETY IT'S NOT IMMEDIATELY ON MONTEREY OR US ONE. IT'S TUCKED INTO SOUTHEAST CENTRAL PARKWAY. IT IS ALSO WITHIN THE URBAN SERVICE BOUNDARY, WHICH MEANS THAT IT HAS CITY UTILITIES , WHICH MEANS THE CITY WILL ALSO RECEIVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF BENEFIT. THE ROADS THAT ARE IMMEDIATELY A BUT THIS SITE ARE ALREADY 35 MPH AND UNDER THUS BEING THE SAFEST SET OF ROADS TO BE UP NEXT AGAINST THE MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY. AND ONCE AGAIN. IT'S BEEN 15 PLUS YEARS AS COMMERCIAL. AND IT HAS NOT BEEN BUILT ON. CONCLUSION I'M SORRY THAT IT TOOK SO LONG, BUT I NEEDED TO GET YOUR KIND OF IN THE FRAMEWORK OF FLORIDA LAW. BOTTOM LINE SINCE THE CITY OF STEWART NEEDS MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. SO I DECIDED TO TURN OFF ON ME.

THIS 4.88 ACRE PARCEL IS THE BEST PLACE YOU COULD POSSIBLY WANT TO PUT MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. THIS PARCEL IS BETTER SUITED TO MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. INDICATED BY IT BEING EMPTY FOR 15, PLUS YEARS AS COMMERCIAL. SO IF YOU APPROVE THIS PARTICULAR SMALL SCALE LAND USE CHANGE. YOU WILL MOVE THE NEEDLE GETTING THE CITY BACK TO A PLACE OF BEING MORE COMPLIANT WITH FLORIDA LAW AS FAR AS ITS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND YOU ARE CHANGING ONE LOT. LESS THAN FIVE ACRES, ONE LOT CURRENTLY COMMERCIAL PROPERTY INTO MULTI FAMILY. ADDITIONALLY IF YOU APPROVE THIS PARTICULAR SMALL SCALE LAND USE CHANGE IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH AND

[01:50:02]

AS OF TODAY, I HAVE NO PROBLEM IN TOTAL SUPPORT OF THE FACT THAT HOME RULES, SO THAT'S THAT'S NOT WHAT THAT POINT IS, WITH RESPECT TO THIS. SURE IT'S JUST SIMPLY, THAT'S WHAT THE LAW REQUIRES TODAY. AND THAT'S WHAT'S REQUIRED TO BE SOLID. WHAT TYPE OF PROPERTY DID YOUR CLIENT BY? THE CLIENT. IT'S YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE APPLICANT. YOUR CLIENT. IT IS A COMMERCIAL PIECE OF PROPERTY COMMERCIAL PIECE OF PROPERTY. YOU FEEL LIKE FLORIDA STATUTE 1633177 GUARANTEES YOUR CLIENT THE LEGAL RIGHT TO HAVE THAT CONVERTED FUTURE LAND USED TO MULTI FAMILY PROVIDES US WITH THE OPPORTUNITY, BUT CERTAINLY NOT. FORCING ANYBODY UP HERE TO MAKE THAT PLAN, NOT FORCING ANYBODY TO DO ANYTHING. YOU ALL WILL BE THE DETERMINANTS WHETHER WE PROVED THROUGH CONFIDENCE, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. THAT WE ARE AN APPROPRIATE DALLAS AND ANALYSIS THAT WE, UH MET THE REQUIREMENTS, BUT I THINK AGAIN THERE IS A REASON WHY THERE IS AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN A PROCESS FOR THAT. THERE'S A REASON WHY IT IS YOU HAVE AMENDMENTS BECAUSE THE FACTS IN THE SURROUNDING AREAS CHANGE SO IT'S VERY APPROPRIATE TO ASK AND THEY DO HAVE A RIGHT TO ASK FOR THAT OUTSIDE. NO IDEA, TOO. OKAY UM, IN TERMS OF THE POPULATION NUMBERS AND THE IMBALANCE THAT YOU POINTED OUT. THE 17,000 NUMBER IS GOING TO BE WHERE WE WERE AT BEFORE. WE HAVE APPROVED WHAT WE'VE APPROVED OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS, SO I ACTUALLY AGREE WITH YOU ENTIRELY THAT ARE MAXIMUM BUILD OUT. IT'S PROBABLY AROUND 23,000. THE ONE THING THAT YOU MRS. THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW. WITH WHAT WE'VE APPROVED. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT.

ABSOLUTELY IS. WE HAVE APPROVED 3000 UNITS OF DEVELOPMENT THAT MAY HAVE ANYWHERE BETWEEN ONE AND THREE PEOPLE LIVING IN THEM . AS THAT GETS INHABITED, YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO BE AROUND 23,000 PEOPLE, SO I ACTUALLY AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT POINT. JUST MADE IT BACKFIRED A LITTLE BIT FROM WHAT YOU ORIGINALLY THOUGHT. 17,002 WHERE WE'VE BEEN AT HISTORICALLY, BEFORE WE APPROVED WHAT WE APPROVED. THE REASON THAT YOU SAW GOOSE EGGS UP THERE FROM MULTI FAMILY IS BECAUSE WE JUST APPROVED IT ALL. IT'S NOW BEEN APPROVED, AND EVERYTHING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN MULTI FAMILY IS AND THAT'S WHY YOU SEE GOOSE EGGS. SO THERE TRULY ISN'T AN IMBALANCE ON THAT . THAT POINT THAT YOU LAID OUT BECAUSE WE'VE APPROVED 3000 UNITS IN MULTI FAMILY IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS. UM I WANT TO TAKE YOU TO. THE OPPORTUNITY COST SIDE OF THIS, SO I KNOW YOU GUYS WANT MULTI FAMILY IN THERE, BUT WITH THIS LAND USE CHANGE TO MULTI FAMILY. WE LOSE COMMERCIAL. SO. BECAUSE YOU BROUGHT UP THE COMPLAINT. I WOULD LOVE TO BRING IT UP BACK TO YOU, ALL RIGHT, AND SORT OF PUSH BACK A LITTLE BIT. IN ELEMENT EIGHT A IN THE CAPITAL

[01:55:02]

THE REASON THAT YOU SEE THOSE IMBALANCES UP THERE. ARE BECAUSE . THAT IS WHO WE ARE. AS A CITY.

WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL HUB FOR GREATER MARTIN COUNTY. IT'S NOT THAT THERE'S THIS IMBALANCE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED. THAT IS WHO WE ARE. SO I WOULD ARGUE WE HAD KEVIN CROWDER, COME IN WHO BUSINESS FLAIR. CONSULTANT THAT WE HAD COME IN. HELP US UNDERSTAND. THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT SIDE, AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT I TOOK AWAY FROM HIS PRESENTATION IS THE VALUE OF YOUR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL LANDS. WHAT I SEE. IS THE OPPORTUNITY COST OF LOSING THAT COMMERCIAL SPACE. I KNOW YOU HAD MENTIONED MR RAND'S LAST TIME THAT BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT COULD GO. THERE COULD BE A BIG BOX STORE. IT COULD BE. I DON'T THINK THAT THAT BACK THERE IS GOING TO END UP BEING A BIG BOX STORE IN CENTRAL PARKWAY. I SEE THAT AS BEING MORE OF THAT. SMALLER SCALE ENTREPRENEURIAL TYPE SPACE FOR LOCAL PEOPLE CAN START UP A BUSINESS WITH IT BEING RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE, WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY YOUR CLIENT WANTS TO HAVE IT BE MULTI FAMILY BECAUSE MORE PROFITABLE BUT HAVE THAT BE A SPACE WHERE LOCAL PEOPLE WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO TRY TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE A LIVING? THAT'S WHAT THERE'S BEEN SO MUCH ATTENTION ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THEY CAN CARVE OUT A LITTLE SPACE FOR THEMSELVES.

THEY CAN START A BUSINESS. AND THEY CAN SUPPORT THEMSELVES AND TRY TO KEEP UP WITH THE MARKET IF WE KEEP ERASING THAT SPACE IN THE QUEST FOR WHAT IS THE MOST PROFITABLE. DIRT. TO ME. WE ARE ROBBING FROM OUR RESIDENTS WHO LIVE HERE. BUT THAT'S MY MAJOR CONCERN WITH THIS POTENTIAL LAND USE CHANGE. SO. I THINK YOU KNOW WHERE I STAND ON THIS. BUT I WOULD SAY THIS SORT OF THING. IS WHAT GOT ME ELECTED. THE CONVERSION OF COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY TO MULTI FAMILY WAS THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE THAT I HEARD GOING TOWARDS DOOR TO DOOR WHEN I WAS CAMPAIGNING.

IN THE RESIDENCE. I DON'T WANT ANY MORE OF IT. THEY WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE. NO ON THIS, AND . WELL, FIRST OF ALL, LET ME MAKE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS AND WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THERE.

YOU CAN HAVE COMMERCIAL LAND USE DESIGNATIONS. BUT THERE'S A REASON WHY THIS PROPERTY HAS STAYED VACANT FOR 15 YEARS AS A COMMERCIAL PIECE, AND I THINK THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT PART TO UNDERSTAND. SO THERE ARE APPROPRIATE PLACES FOR COMMERCIAL AND WE'VE HAD THOSE DISCUSSIONS ON MANY OTHER NIGHTS AND OCCASIONS ON CANTOR HIGHWAYS FOR AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE CAN ALL THINK ABOUT A PROJECT ALONG THAT LINE. BUT WE THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY HAD AN ORIGINAL LAND USE DESIGNATIONS. SO IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE COMP PLAN WITH IT SHOULD HAVE PROBABLY NEVER BEEN CHANGED THE COMMERCIAL DEBT BECAUSE IN YOUR REVIEW. YOU SHOULDN'T CHANGE COMMERCIAL PIECE OR ANY LAND USE AMENDMENT. IT SHOULD STAY AS IT IS. THIS WAS ORIGINALLY MULTI FAMILY. IT WENT TO INSTITUTIONAL BECAUSE OF THE CHURCH AND THEN WENT TO COMMERCIAL BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT EVERYBODY THOUGHT. WHAT MIGHT BE THE APPROPRIATE LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR 15 YEARS IN AN ECONOMIC BOOM OF NOT BEING DEVELOPED. THIS COMMERCIAL, I THINK, SHOWS THAT THIS WAS PROBABLY A PIECE OF PROPERTY LOCATED IN AN AREA BETTER APPROPRIATE AND THAT'S ANOTHER PART OF THE THING. WHAT IS THE MOST APPROPRIATE LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR IT? IT'S NOT ONLY WHETHER IT'S APPROPRIATE BUT WHAT'S THE MOST APPROPRIATE AND I WOULD SUBMIT TO YOU THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND YOU LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF THIS PROPERTY. THAT WOULD BE MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT RIGHT BECAUSE WE CAN'T LOOK AT 1982 BECAUSE IT'S 2023. THAT WAS SCHEDULED TO BE TOWN PARK TO BEFORE THE LOFTS WAS THERE. 190 RENTAL APARTMENTS ACROSS THE STREET NOW THAT WERE APPROVED ON WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THAT IS COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, AND IT WILL BE A PLACE THAT THERE'S WALK ABILITY FOR THEM TO WALK TO WORK YOU HAVE. AND WE DUG THIS UP LAST TIME. DURING THE FIRST PRESENTATION. YOU ONLY HAVE TO COMMERCIAL PARCELS. YOU GOT MARCELAS. AND THEN THIS ONE LEFT THERE. THAT'S THE ONLY TWO THAT ARE LEFT ON CENTRAL PARKWAY. SO YOU LOSE THAT AND YOU REALLY DO END THE WALK ABILITY,

[02:00:07]

YOU'RE WELCOME TO MAKE A MOTION IF YOU LIKE TO MAKE MY COMMOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 248620 TO 3. SECOND, OKAY. WE HAVE EMOTION AND WE HAVE A SECOND. WE HAVE ANY OTHER COMING FROM COMMISSIONERS. DO YOU HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? OKAY. UM. SO I AGREE. THIS WAS A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION. CERTAINLY DURING THE CAMPAIGN, AND I THOUGHT LONG AND HARD ABOUT THIS BUT LET'S TALK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY, WHICH IS KIND OF AN EYESORE RIGHT NOW. CENTRAL PARKWAY. UM STICKING OUT THERE AND IT HAS AND THOSE OF US WHO HAVE LIVED HERE 40/40 YEARS AND THOSE OF US WHO HAVE LIVED HERE. I HAVE SEEN SOME ATTEMPTS TO DEVELOP THIS AND THEY FAILED.

AND DESPITE THE CONSIDERABLE GROWTH THAT'S GOING ON THERE NOW. UM I MEAN, MAYBE IT IS NOTHING MORE COMPLICATED. THEN THEY GOT IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME AND THAT IT SHOULD HAVE MAINTAINED ITS ORIGINAL DESIGNATION. FUTURE LAND USE AS A MULTI FAMILY. I THINK IF WE DON'T GRANT THIS, THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE FEW TIMES WHERE I'VE SEEN THIS BOARD ACTUALLY VOTE AGAINST THE NEIGHBORS. AND, UH, WELL, WELL, WE HAVE YOU KNOW THIS WAS ENVISIONED AS PART OF THAT BIGGER PROJECT. AND I THINK TO FULFILL SOME OF THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENTS. UM. YOU KNOW, THE COMPLETION OF THAT WILL HELP ACCOMPLISH THAT. NOW SPEAKING MORE GENERALLY, AND I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLIMENT THAT WAS A VERY COMPREHENSIVE PRESENTATION. BUT I SORT OF HINTED AT THIS AND THIS IS THESE. THESE ELEMENTS WERE MADE AWARE TO ME AT THE EVERGLADES CONFERENCE. WHAT CAN THE CITY DO? WHAT ROLE CAN WE PLAY? AND THIS IS A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY OF INSTANCE OF THAT, AND THAT IS AVOID SPRAWL. AND DEVELOP ALONG CURRENT RESIDENTIAL AM TRANSPORTATION CORRIDORS. I MEAN THIS YOU KNOW? THIS HAS AN OPPORTUNITY OF BECOMING A REAL NEIGHBORHOOD. I

[02:05:03]

[02:10:10]

WAS THAT HER NAME? THEY COUNTERED TO IT AT THE ASSERTION THAT BIG AGENDAS ARE HUNDREDS OF PAGES OF LONG SO IT TAKES AWHILE. 35. YES, I JUST ENDURE IT. ANYWAY IT'S JUST YOU SAY THAT BY. MAKING THIS CHANGE. BY APPROVING THIS CHANGE. WE'RE GOING TO DECREASE THE NUMBER OF TRAFFIC TRIPS POTENTIAL RIGHT POTENTIAL. SO COULD YOU JUST EXPLAIN HOW THAT CALCULATION IS MADE? YES. SO AS MISS CREATURE DID POINT OUT WHERE REQUIRED TO LOOK AT THE MAXIMUM THAT COULD BE BUILT. UNDER THE EXISTING FUTURE LAND USE AND THEN LOOK AT THE MAXIMUM THAT COULD BE BUILT UNDER THE PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE. WE GENERATE THE TRAFFIC FOR THE USES AND THOSE TWO SCENARIOS AND DO THE MATH, AND SO RETAILED JUST HAS MUCH MORE TRAFFIC. THEN A MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT SO YOU HAVE TRAFFIC. YOU KNOW, BEGINNING IN THE MORNING UNTIL NINE O'CLOCK AT NIGHT, WHERE RESIDENTIAL AS MUCH LESS TRAFFIC AND IT'S USUALLY CONCENTRATED IN A COUPLE. HOURS OF THE DAY. UM AND JUST TO SAVE YOU FROM HAVING TO GET BACK UP HERE, THIS PERHAPS DEALS MORE SPECIFICALLY WITH THE NEXT ITEM. WHEN YOU DID YOUR TRAFFIC CALCULATIONS. DID YOU INCLUDE ESTIMATED TRAFFIC FROM JUST THE DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAD BEEN BUILT OR DID YOU WIN? THAT WE LOOKED AT THE ADJACENT APPROVED AND UNBUILT AND THOSE WERE INCLUDED AT THE REQUEST OF THE CITY. THAT WE'VE HAD THAT THE LOSS AND POTENTIAL GROWTH AND THEN SINCE WE SUBMITTED THAT, AND THE WE WERE ASKED TO LOOK AT THE IMPACT OF COSTCO, WHICH WOULDN'T AFFECT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE PROJECT. BUT ON U. S ONE IN CANADA, SO WE WENT AHEAD AND TOOK A LOOK AT THAT. WE ALSO TOOK A LOOK AT THE UPDATED, WHICH ISN'T IN THE DOCUMENTATION. BUT FOR TONIGHT, I WENT AHEAD AND DID THOSE NUMBERS AND THERE'S AMPLE CAPACITY ON US ONE AND STATE ROUTE 76 CENTRAL PARKWAY. FOR I JUST WANT TO SAY I APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE WHEN I SAT ON THE OLD BABY WERE ASKED TO CONSIDER A PROJECT PROJECT RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET WAS JUST ABOUT TO BE OPEN AND BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT REQUIRED TO CONSIDER THAT TRAFFIC THEY DID NOT AND. FIVE LOGIC, SO I APPRECIATE THAT. IT'S ONLY SENSIBLE AND THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING THAT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. YOU DIDN'T SIT DOWN. QUICK QUESTION THIS CITY AS A WHOLE. WE SORT OF ENCAPSULATE THE CITY OF STEWART. HOW DOES INCREASING THE POPULATION DENSITY DRAMATICALLY OF A CITY OVERALL DECREASED THE TRAFFIC. THE MORE RESIDENTIAL PEOPLE THE MORE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT YOU APPROVE, RIGHT? I KNOW I UNDERSTAND TRIPS , BUT MORE MACRO IF I INCREASE THE POPULATION DENSITY OF A CITY BY SAYING, I DON'T KNOW 30 OR 40. WHICH IS WHAT WE POTENTIALLY DONE IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS. IS THAT GOING TO INCREASE OR DECREASE? THE TRAFFIC PRESSURE.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS NOT RELATED SPECIFICALLY TO THE SITE. SO THIS IS A SITE SPECIFIC ISSUE ANYMORE HUMAN BEINGS INTO THE CITY CORRECT BUT AT THIS PARTICULAR SITE, SO THE HUMAN BEINGS THAT ARE ADDED ARE ALL GOING SOMEWHERE, SO NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE, THEY'RE GOING TO SHOP THEY'RE GOING TO EAT. THEY'RE GOING TO DRIVE ITS AND YET SO IT ALL GETS CONSIDERED. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE LOOK AT, AND THE 2045 ANALYSIS.

IS ALL OF THE MODELING THAT GETS DONE THAT LOOKS AT WHERE EVERYBODY'S GOING TO AND FROM AND THAT ADDRESSES. ALL OF THE USES IN THAT CONTEXT, BUT FOR THIS PARTICULAR USE IN THAT ONE SPECIFIC AREA. PEOPLE CARE ABOUT WHAT'S DRIVING PAST THEIR HOUSE. WHAT'S HOW MANY LIGHTS ARE THEY GOING TO WAIT AT? THAT'S THE SITE SPECIFIC IMPACT THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH HERE AND THEN THE BROADER IS WHY WE LOOK AT THE 2045 IN THE MODELING. OVER THE MPL WILL TAKE ALL OF THE USES.

YOU'VE JUST APPROVED. AND THEY WILL LOOK AT THEM COMPREHENSIVELY IN THE NEXT ONE OR TWO YEARS. THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE CITY AND GIVE YOU THE KIND OF NUMBERS THAT THAT'S THE DANGER OF BEING SO SITE SPECIFIC IS IF I WERE LOOKING AT DOING IS IT'S MY JOB TO BE SITE SPECIFIC.

IT'S THE CITIES AND THE REGIONS. TO LOOK AT THE WHOLE CITY WIDE IMPACT. AND THIS TYPE OF INFORMATION. KIDS PUT INTO THAT. INTO THOSE ASSUMPTIONS. BUT PEOPLE AREN'T GOING TO GENERATE TRAFFIC. IF THEY DON'T HAVE PLACES TO WORK. THEY DON'T HAVE PLACES TO SHOP. IT'S ALL A BALANCING SO PEOPLE AREN'T JUST COMING HERE AND LIVING IN A HOUSE. THEY'RE COMING BECAUSE THEY'RE ALREADY WORKING HERE OR THERE ALREADY. YOU KNOW, SO THERE YOU'RE TAKING PEOPLE WHO

[02:15:04]

THANK YOU. NEVER THANK YOU, MHM. NO. OKAY, ANY ADDITIONAL PUBLIC HABIT? ONE. WELCOME ROAD. MY NAME IS DANIEL DOMENICO AND I LIVE IN TOWN PARK. AND I VOTED FOR YOU BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU JUST SAID. I DON'T I REALLY WOULD PREFER THIS TO STAY COMMERCIAL. I DID NOT. SIGN THAT LETTER THAT SAID THAT WE APPROVE OF THAT IN THAT COMMUNITY. UM AND I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THAT COMMUNITY THAT WOULD PREFER TO STAY COMMERCIAL AND NOT APPROVE THIS. WE JUST BUILT THAT MONSTROSITY ON BOTH SIDES OF CENTRAL PARKWAY. IT'S GOING TO BE AND BUT IT'S THAT ROAD IS

AND STAFF RECOMMENDS THE CITY COMMISSION TO APPROVE THE AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP. ATLAS SYRIZA FROM COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT OF THE 4.88 ACRES AND THE CONCURRENT SITE PLAN ON FIRST READING. OKAY UH, ADVOCATE . GOOD EVENING FOR THE RECORD. RYAN JOHNSTON JOHNSTON DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT THIS PROJECT TO YOU. UM, WE'VE BEEN WANTING TO SHOW YOU THESE PLANS FOR A LONG TIME. AND THIS IS A PROJECT THAT WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF. YOU ADJUST THIS. HOW'S THAT LITTLE BETTER? WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THIS PROJECT FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS, YOU KNOW, BUT I MEAN, YOU KNOW, FORCED TO INFORM MOST. I MEAN, THIS IS THAT WE BELIEVE THIS IS A HIGH QUALITY PROJECTS. UM THAT TRULY REPRESENTS THE QUALITY DEVELOPMENT THAT SHOULD MAKE UP AND DOES MAKE UP THE FABRIC OF THE COMMUNITY OF STEWART. UM WE'VE PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO THIS. WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR A VERY LONG TIME, AND WE FEEL THAT WE'RE BRINGING SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW THE COMMISSION AND THE CITY AND US ARE ALL PROUD OF SOMETHING THAT WE CAN CREATE HERE. SO I AM LIKE YOU'VE SEEN A LOT OF THIS STUFF.

SO I'M GOING TO TRY FOR THE SAKE OF BREVITY TO MAYBE SKIP THROUGH SOME OF THE BROADER THINGS THAT I'M GOING TO DIVE A LITTLE DEEPER ON SOME OF THE STUFF THAT JODI PRESENTED. PROPERTY LOCATION. WE KNOW IT'S SOUTH SOUTHEAST CENTRAL PARKWAY. 4.8 ACRES SURROUNDED BY TOWN PARK, AS WAS SPOKEN PREVIOUSLY, IT IS THE WAS THE FUTURE PHASE OF THE TOWN PARK COMMUNITY. AND THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY OCCUPIED BY A CHURCH, WHICH WAS DEMOLISHED ABOUT 2007 WHEN THIS COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN WAS APPROVED FOR ABOUT 42,000 SQUARE FEET, APPROXIMATELY 160 PARKING SPACES. THOSE ARE WHERE THE APPROVED BUILDING ELEVATIONS WAS KIND OF NONDESCRIPT COMMERCIAL.

SO WE WHEN WE STARTED THIS PROCESS TWO YEARS AGO, UM WE CAME UP WITH A MISSION STATEMENT. WE SAID WHAT IS IT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE? YOU KNOW, HOW CAN WE DEFINE THIS INTO SOME SORT OF A OF A STATEMENT? AND REALLY, WHAT WE CAME UP WITH IS THAT YOU KNOW, OUR MISSION HERE IS TO PROVIDE A HIGH QUALITY HOUSING IN CLOSE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO DOWNTOWN STUART GETS INTO THAT LACK, YOU KNOW THE INFILL DEVELOPMENT AND NOT CREATING URBAN SPRAWL. IN THE COMMUNITY BASED ON TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGN CONCEPTS, UTILIZING LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT TECHNIQUES THAT PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT. SO FOUR THINGS STUCK US STUCK OUT TO US, AND IT WAS QUALITY, PROXIMITY, TRADITIONAL AND ENVIRONMENT. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME OF THOSE THINGS. WHAT IS WHAT IS T N D. WHAT IS TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGN. IT'S CHARACTERIZED BY THESE THINGS. COMPACT DEVELOPMENT GENERALLY NARROW STREETS, AND THERE WERE STREETS ON STREET PARKING USE OF VALLEYS FOR GARAGE ACCESS, LIMITED, IMPERVIOUS AREA, REDUCED BUILDING SETBACKS AND NON GATED COMMUNITIES. WHAT IS LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT. AND I KNOW THAT THE COMMISSION HAS BEEN TO WORKSHOPS ON THIS. YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH A LOT OF THIS STUFF. LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT SYSTEMS AND PRACTICES USED OR MIMIC NATURAL PROCESSES. THE RESULT IN INFILTRATION EVAPORATE TRANSPIRATION OR USE OF STORM WATER IN ORDER TO PROTECT QUALITY, WATER QUALITY AND ASSOCIATED AQUATIC HABITAT. AND SO EXAMPLES OF THAT WOULD BE USING RAIN GARDENS PERMEABLE PAVEMENT. RAINWATER CATCHMENT AREAS, ENGINEERED INFILTRATION SYSTEMS, BIO SWALES, RAIN, HARVARD HARVESTING AND GREEN ROOFS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, UM, THESE THINGS ALLOW US TO INCREASE THE WATER QUALITY OVER STANDARD AND MORE TRADITIONAL STORMWATER TREATMENT PRACTICES, WHICH HAVE BEEN HISTORICALLY USED IN FLORIDA. SO THIS IS OUR PROPOSED CYCLONES. SO YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE WE'RE PROPOSING A TOTAL OF 62 STORY TOWN HOMES WITH LIMITED SURFACE PARKING, UM , WHICH ARE EVIDENT THERE ON THE SITE WITH THE BLUE. THE ARROWS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT. THE REASON WHY I WANTED TO SHOW THOSE IS BECAUSE THIS GOES RIGHT TO THE HEART OF TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT. WHEN YOU DO WHEN YOU USE TMD CONCEPTS . ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU REALLY WANT TO TRY TO DO IS REALLY TAKE THE OUTSIDE OF THE

[02:35:05]

[02:40:01]

SO THAT AREA WHICH WAS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION BY THE BOARD OF TOWN PARK, THE CONDO BOARD IS AN AREA THAT HISTORICALLY HAS BEEN FLOODING AND THEY'VE THEY'VE HAD A PROBLEM THERE AND THEY SAID, LOOK THAT THE WATER THERE WHEN WE HAVE NOT EVEN 100 YEAR STORM EVENT, JUST A REGULAR RAINFALL.

IT'S NOT DRAINING AND THEY SAID, WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP US WITH THAT? WE SAID WE CAN HELP WITH THAT BECAUSE THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL WAS AN ORIGINAL PHASE OF TOWN PARK. IT ACTUALLY PROVIDES FOR AN EASEMENT. THIS IS ALL ORIGINALLY APPROVED UNDER ONE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT DRAINAGE PERMIT. UM THAT ALLOWED US TO TAKE THEIR WATER THROUGH OUR PROJECT AND ALLEVIATE THAT FLOODING, SO WE'RE GOING TO BUILD A CATCH BASIN UP WHERE THE START OF THAT BLUE ARROW IS, AND WE'RE GONNA BRING A PIPE THROUGH OUR PROJECT AND PUT IT RIGHT TO THE END OF THE BLUE ERA, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY ABOUT WHERE OUR LAKE IS. SO WE'RE TAKING THAT PROBLEM AWAY, AND WE'RE SOLVING THAT FOR THEM. SO THESE UNITS WILL BE FEE SIMPLE FOR SALE.

WE'RE NOT RENTING THEM, YOU KNOW, WHICH IS GIVES PEOPLE A PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP. WE'VE GOT DENSE, BUFFERING ALONG OUR LANDSCAPE BUFFER WITH A THREE TIERED LANDSCAPING GROUND MEETING CAN BE A TOTAL OF 128 TREES ARE PROPOSED. THAT'S NEW TREES AND ANOTHER 203 TREES WITHIN THE INTERIOR OF THE SITE. WE'RE OVER THERE REQUIREMENT. FOR 20 FT. OAK TREES ARE PROPOSED ALONG SOUTHEAST CENTRAL PARKWAY TO PROVIDE SHADE ALONG THE SIDEWALK AREA. WE HAVE 25% NATIVE VEGETATION PROPOSED THROUGHOUT THE SITE IN OUR LAKE . WE HAVE LITERAL CELLS WITH PLANNING ALONG THE PERIMETER, WHICH IS CREATE INCREASED THE AESTHETIC AND ALLOWS US TO REALLY TAKE A LAKE THAT IS. YOU KNOW, THESE LAKES ARE VERY RIGID. THEY'RE MEANT FOR STORM WATER RETENTION, BUT YOU CAN TAKE THAT WITH LITERAL PLANTING. YOU CAN SHAPE IT AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE IT'S MORE NATURAL, SO IT DOESN'T HAVE TO LOOK LIKE IT'S ENGINEERED. AND THEN TREATMENT EDUCATION. WE'RE NOT DOING THE CASH IN LIEU OPTION THAT THE CODE PROVIDES FOR.

WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA MITIGATE THE TREES ON SITE, INCLUDING A SIX A TOTAL OF 16 EXISTING TREES AND 11 MATURE SLASH PINES. SO THOSE SLASH PINES ARE IN THIS LOCATION RIGHT THERE. THAT'S AN ACTUAL PHOTO OF THE TREES. THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL. UM WE'RE GOING TO SAVE THAT IN THAT LOCATION. SO ORIGINALLY WHEN WE STARTED, YOU KNOW, PLAYING AROUND WITH THE SITE PLAN. WELL, WE COULD JUST PUT SOME UNITS THERE AND THEN YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE PROCESS. WE SAID NO, NO, NO, LET'S WE'RE GOING TO ELIMINATE THIS REDUCED FROM THE FROM THE NUMBER OF YOU.

IT'S THAT WERE ORIGINALLY PROPOSING AND SAVE SOME OF THESE EXISTING TREES. AND CREATE A PASSIVE PARK WITHIN THE PROPERTY SO THAT AREA ACTUALLY WILL END UP HAVING SOME BENCHES. SOME DOG STATIONS WHERE THE OWNERS CAN WALK THEIR DOGS, AND YOU ENJOY THAT, AS WELL AS PRESERVING THE ENVIRONMENT. SO WE'RE GONNA DO SOME BEAUTIFICATION ALONG THE CENTRAL PARKWAY. MEDIAN AS WELL.

SO YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE. THIS IS BASICALLY WHAT THE MEDIA LOOKS LIKE TODAY, COMPLETELY DEVOID OF ANY LANDSCAPING, SO IT'S PRETTY BLAND. THERE'S NOTHING THERE AND WE SAID, WELL , YOU KNOW WE CAN DO BETTER. IT REALLY NEEDS IT WANTS TO BE BETTER. IT'S ALSO THE FRONT DOOR IF YOU WILL, AND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT, IF YOU IF YOU'RE IN ONE OF THE UNITS THAT FACES SOUTH EAST CENTRAL PARKWAY SO WE'RE GOING TO COME IN AND WE'RE GONNA PLANT NEW SHADE TREES AND PALM TREES. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE USE THIS EITHER. ADRA HADIYA. THERE WE GO. SO YOU CAN SEE IN THE SKINNY AREAS OF THE MEDIAN HERE. YOU REALLY CAN'T GET SHADE TREES IN THERE. THERE ARE D O T STANDARDS THAT WE HAVE TO FOLLOW. UM SO OUR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT WHO IS HERE TODAY, OUR ENTIRE TEAMS HERE TONIGHT, SO THEY'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO FEEL SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS. BUT WE WERE ADVISED THAT YOU KNOW, REALLY. THERE'S ONLY CERTAIN TYPES OF VEGETATION YOU CAN PUT IN HERE FOR SAFETY REASONS. SO WE'RE PROPOSING SOME PALM TREES IN THESE SKINNIER AREAS AND THEN THESE FLOWERING SHEET. TREES IN THE OTHER AREAS HERE. UM WE ARE PROPOSING TO CONSTRUCT PUBLIC ON STREET PARKING ALONG CENTRAL PARKWAY. WE'RE GOING TO COMPLETE A SIDEWALK EXTENSION BETWEEN OUR PROPERTY AND THE TERMINUS OF AN EXISTING SIDEWALK LEADING THE US ONE. SO HERE'S THE THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE RIGHT NOW. UH, I'M SORRY. SO BASICALLY WHAT WE HAVE IS, YOU KNOW, A RUNDOWN SIDEWALK . UH A SIDEWALK TO NOWHERE SO THAT THIS IS WHAT'S IN FRONT OF THE SITE RIGHT NOW. I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S LIKE THAT. BUT IT JUST WAS NEVER, I GUESS WAS NEVER COMPLETED AND SO, BASICALLY WHAT WE WANT TO DO. OH, WE'RE GONNA WE'RE GONNA BUILD AN EIGHT FT WIDE, MULTI USE PATH ALONG THE ENTIRE FRONTAGE OF OUR PROPERTY. RIGHT ALONG THE STREET HERE. AND THEN THIS IS THE PART THAT REALLY WAS INTERESTING TO US THE EXISTING SIDEWALK. THIS IS US ONE. THE EXISTING SIDEWALK THAT CONNECTS US ONE HERE STOPS AT THE BACK OF THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND THEN TOWN PARK WAS BUILT, BUT THEY NEVER COMPLETED THE SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF TOWN PARK. YOU KNOW, TALKING WITH THE NEIGHBORS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION IS THAT THIS IS THEIR FAVORITE WALKING ROUTE. THEY COME DOWN HERE AND THEY WALK AROUND. WELL GUESS WHAT. THEY HAVE TO WALK ON THE STREET OR YOU HAVE TO WALK IN THE GRASS, WHICH IS SOMETIMES MUSHY AND WET. AND WE SAID, WELL, NO, WE'RE GOING TO BUILD AN EIGHT FT. SIDEWALK ALONG HERE. SO THAT SOLVES THAT PROBLEM. BUT WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO HERE? THAT SECTION. NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED.

[02:45:01]

FT. CAN'T REALLY GET EIGHT FT IN THERE, BUT FIVE FT IS BETTER THAN NO FEET. SO WE FEEL LIKE COMPLETING THAT CONNECTIONS IS A NICE PUBLIC BENEFIT. SO OUR PROJECT DENSITY UH, AN INTENSITY ARE WELL BELOW THE CODE MAXIMUM . UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE 12.3 DWELLING IN HIS PER ACRE UNDER CERTAIN. DESIGNATIONS OF THE LAND USE CODE. YOU COULD GET UP TO 30. WE WERE ACTUALLY, UH, JUST SLIGHTLY BEYOND WHAT YOU WOULD GET FOR A SINGLE GUESS. STRAIGHT ZONING ON THE PERMITTED DENSITY, WHICH IS 11.66 2. SO WE'RE JUST A LITTLE HIGHER THAN WHAT THE PRINT AMENDED DENSITY WOULD BE FOR UNITS VERSUS 56. THAT'S A LOT LESS TRAFFIC THAN THE THAN THE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE DENSITY. WHICH WOULD RESULT IN 75 UNITS. I THINK SOME OF THAT, UM WE'RE ALSO PROPOSING TWO STORY BUILDINGS VERSUS THE MAXIMUM OF FOUR. WE SAID THIS NEEDS TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEIGHBORS WITH TOM PARK. YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT TO BUILD SOME HUGE MONSTROSITY NEXT DOOR TO THEIR THEIR PROJECTS, SO WE REALLY LOOKED AT THE SCALE OF THE EXISTING BUILDINGS NEXT DOOR AND SAID, LET'S BRING THE SCALE DOWN AND THAT ALSO RESULTED IN LESSER UNITS BECAUSE YOU CAN'T YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO BUILD ENOUGH FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE IN. OKAY SO THIS ONE THIS WAS THIS WAS A LEARNING CURVE FOR ME, TO BE HONEST, AND OUR ENGINEERS WORKED WITH US A LOT ON THIS TO GET ME TO A POINT WHERE I UNDERSTOOD IT, BUT BASICALLY WITHOUT GOING, YOU KNOW, THROUGH A LOT OF THIS STUFF WE'RE USING BIO SWALES RAIN GARDENS, UM, SPECIAL RAIN BUNKERS, PERVIOUS PAVERS, ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT WE'RE USING TO BASICALLY CLEAN THE WATER. BEFORE IT GOES INTO THE RETENTION POND, WHICH BY THE WAY IS INTENDED TO CLEAN THE WATER, SO THE WATER GETS CLEANED BEFORE IT GOES TO THE THING THAT CLEANS IT. THAT RESULTS IN US PROVIDING AN EXCESS WATER QUALITY VOLUME OF 730% WHICH IS SIGNIFICANT, SO THIS STUFF IS REALLY NEAT BECAUSE WE'RE ALL CONCERNED ABOUT THE RIVER. THIS ACTUALLY ENSURES THAT THE WATER COMING OUT OF OUR PROJECT IN THE OUTFALL IS AS CLEAN AS WE CAN POSSIBLY MAKE IT AND I'M THAT'S ABOUT MY EXTENT IN THE ENGINEERING OF IT WOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE THE ENGINEER ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT, BUT IT'S REALLY COOL. SO LET'S ILLUSTRATE THAT SO BASICALLY EVERYWHERE YOU SEE HERE IS OUR GUEST PARKING ALL OF THOSE AREAS . WE'RE GOING TO MAKE OUT A PREVIOUS PAPERS. THIS IS THE AREA WHERE WE HAVE THE MAIN BIOS. WELL SO THE BUNKER GREATS CREATE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT WATER TO GO INTO THE BIOS WILL DIRECTLY FROM THE FROM THE PAVEMENT ALONG THE ROADWAY. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH A PIPE TOGETHER, GO STRAIGHT INTO THE BIOS WELL GETS CLEANED BEFORE IT GOES INTO THE RETENTION POND. AND AGAIN, LIKE I SAID, IT'S A IT'S A 730% INCREASE ABOVE WHAT THE STANDARDS OF SOUTH WATER FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT WOULD ALLOW US TO DO. SO THE DEVIATIONS FROM THE CODE JODI MENTIONED WE GOT SOME MINOR DEVIATIONS. YOU KNOW, THE FIRST ONE IS FOR THE FRONT SETBACK. YOU REALLY CAN'T CREATE, UM TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT WHEN YOU HAVE A 25 FT SETBACK REQUIREMENT BECAUSE THE WHOLE IDEA IS REALLY TO PUSH THOSE BUILDINGS UP TO THE STREET. SO WE'RE ASKING FOR A REDUCTION OF THAT, UM, ALONG THAT AREA, I THINK IT'S 10 FT, OR 115 FT REDUCTION. BUT THAT ALLOWS YOU REALLY TO BRING THOSE BUILDINGS FORWARD TO THE STREET, WHICH IS THE CONCEPT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE HERE. UM WE ALSO HAVE A SMALL INCREASE IN THE MAXIMUM IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE . UM WE EXCEED THE REQUIREMENTS FOR STORMWATER MANAGEMENT THROUGH THE ALLIED STANDARDS, SO WE THINK THAT'S JUSTIFIED BECAUSE WE'RE GIVING A LOT BACK TO OFFSET THAT. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE A THREE FT REDUCTION IN THE EIGHT FT SIDEWALK REQUIREMENTS. SO LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE AN EIGHT FT SIDEWALK ALONG THE STREET. HERE. BUT THESE INTERNAL SIDEWALKS AND THIS IS A VERY SMALL COMMUNITY. I MEAN TO GET THE GRASS 4.8 ACRES IS A VERY SMALL INFILL TYPE DEVELOPMENT.

WE DON'T THINK THAT WE SHOULD HAVE EIGHT FT SIDEWALKS GOING THROUGH THE PROJECT. IT'S A LITTLE BIT EXCESSIVE, AND IT KIND OF ADDS TO THE IMPERVIOUS PROBLEM. AND SO WE'RE ASKING FOR A REDUCTION OF THOSE SIDEWALKS FOR THESE 60 UNITS, WHICH BY THE WAY ONLY RESULTS IN ABOUT 130 RESIDENTS. UM TO GO TO FIVE FT. JUST SO THEY CAN GET THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY. UH NEIGHBORHOOD PARTICIPAR DISSIPATION. WE TALKED ABOUT IT. I MEAN, YOU CAN SEE IT GOES ALL THE WAY BACK TO NOVEMBER OF 2021. WE MET WITH THE BOARD FOUR TIMES AGAIN. SOME OF THE RESIDENTS WERE IN THOSE MEETINGS. WE HAD SOME GOOD PARTICIPATION, AND WE FELT LIKE WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE A LOT OF

[02:50:01]

YOU DEVELOP THE PROPERTY'S GONNA LOSE YOUR SIGN. WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOU AN EASEMENT FOR THE SIGN.

THEY'RE NOT COVERED BY AN EASEMENT RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE NO INTENTION OF REMOVING THE SIGNS.

SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GRANT THAT EASEMENT TO THEM. THIS IS ANOTHER INTERESTING ONE.

SO THIS IN THIS LOCATION RIGHT HERE, WHICH IS ALSO ON OUR PROPERTY, THERE'S AN EXISTING SCULPTURE. I DON'T KNOW HOW IT GOT THERE. I MEAN, IT'S NICE. UH THEY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT IT.

THE RESIDENTS AND THEY SAID, WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE THE SCULPTURE. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH THE SCULPTURE? WE SAID, WELL, LET'S ACTUALLY IN OUR BUFFER. THERE'S NO REASON FOR US TO REMOVE. IT WILL JUST WORK AROUND THE SCULPTURE. SO WE'RE GONNA KEEP THE SCULPTURE IN PLACE AS AN AMENITY FOR THE RESIDENTS. I WAS TOUCHED ON THAT WE HAVE FULL SUPPORT OF TOWN PARK OF THE BOARD FOR CLARIFICATION FULL FOR CLARIFICATION SUPPORT YOU CAN YOU CAN NEVER GET EVERYBODY BUT YOU CAN. YOU CAN TRY REALLY, REALLY HARD. SO UH AND WE DID.

SO UM, WE DID GET A UNANIMOUS RECOMMENDATION FROM THE ALPA ON JUNE. 9TH UM, YOU KNOW, AND I THOUGHT THIS WAS REALLY INTERESTING. YOU KNOW, THIS WAS A THIS MIGHT HAVE EVEN BEEN QUOTED IN THE PAPER, BUT, UH, VICE CHAIR, BROWNFIELD SAID. I FEEL LIKE THE PROJECT IS VERY REFRESHING AND THAT IT'S BRINGING A NEW FEELING NEW CULTURE TO STEWART SOMETHING THAT'S YOUNG AND FRESH. I LOOK FORWARD TO MORE OF THESE KINDS OF PROJECTS. SHE NAILED IT.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE GOING FOR. WE'RE GOING FOR A TYPE OF PROJECT HERE WHERE OUR KIDS CAN COME BACK AFTER THEY GRADUATE SCHOOL AND FIND A PLACE TO LIVE HERE IN STUART, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WHAT'S HAPPENING BECAUSE THE COST OF HOUSING AND STUART IS SO HIGH. YOU CAN'T THEY CAN'T. THEY CAN'T BUY THESE TYPES. THEY CAN BUY THESE TYPES OF PROJECTS. THEY CANNOT BUY SINGLE FAMILY HOMES VERY DIFFICULT RIGHT NOW IN THE CITY OF STORAGE UNITS. HOW MUCH ARE THEY? WE'LL GET TO THAT. WE'LL GET TO THAT. QUESTIONS TO THE END. THANK YOU, MARY. SO YOU KNOW AGAIN STAFF RECOMMENDING APPROVAL. WE DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN. SO LET ME ASK, CAN I ASK THAT CAN ANSWER THE FIRST QUESTION. DO YOU WANT TO DO THAT? OKAY. SO INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, COMMISSIONER COLLINS SO WE TOOK A LOOK AT THAT. AND WE SAID, YOU KNOW, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE PROJECT? I THOUGHT YOU DID. I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY. DID I MISS THAT? NO NO, MR MAYOR, I WOULD ASK TO BE RECOGNIZED FIRST. WE SAID, UM. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? BECAUSE WE LOOKED AT IT AND SAID, OK, SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. WHAT DO THEY COST? YOU KNOW, UM, I AM NOT A REAL ESTATE COSTS. ER I'M GONNA GET TO THAT. SO THE BASICALLY TO BUY A SINGLE FAMILY HOME. WHAT WE FOUND IS 7 $800,000 FOR AN EQUIVALENT SIZED UNIT. THESE UNITS WILL START IN THE LOW FOUR HUNDREDS AND GO INTO PROBABLY THE MID FIVE HUNDREDS FOR THE FOUR BEDROOM UNITS. SO WE HAVE TWO AND FOUR BEDROOM. WE ACTUALLY DID. A WORKFORCE HOUSING ANALYSIS, WHICH IS INCLUDED IN THE IN THE PACKET. AND IT SHOWED THAT WHILE THE WHOLE PROJECT IS NOT WITHIN THE THROES OF WHAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER WORKFORCE HOUSING, A PORTION OF THE PROJECT ACTUALLY LIES WITHIN THE UPPER ECHELON OF WHAT'S CONSIDERED WORKFORCE HOUSING. SO LISTEN, IT'S NOT AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THAT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THING RIGHT ? IT IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO PROVIDE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS WHO WANT TO LIVE AND WORK IN THE CITY OF STEWART AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUY SOMETHING THAT THEY OWN INSTEAD OF RENTING. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND OUR TEAM IS HERE. OKAY, SO, UM LET'S SEE. I'M GONNA GO HERE. COMMISSIONER SEVEN, SO I'M GOING TO START UP AT THE PODIUM CAUSE I GOT A COUPLE QUESTIONS I'M GOING TO START WITH, UM IT'S JUST IT'S RYAN. RIGHT? IT IS RYAN JOHNSTON . MR AMERICAN? I JUST ADD ONE THING BECAUSE MR RAINES JUST POINTED SOMETHING OUT TO ME THAT WE JUST HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, AND IT'S AN ADDED BENEFIT. AND I HAD A NOTE ON IT HERE ON MY SHEET, AND I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT IT. UM WITH TALKING WITH, UH, CITY MANAGER DIOCESE AND SOME OTHER PEOPLE IN THE STAFF AND IN THE CITY. WE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THERE WAS THERE

[02:55:06]

YOU CAN DO AN AMENDMENT TO THAT AND MAYBE MAKE IT 16 AND WE'LL GIVE YOU 16 MAKE UP 32. HOWEVER YOU WANT TO DO IT OR YOU CAN TAKE THE 32. YOU CAN INCREASE THAT UP TO 32,000 MORE BECAUSE IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY THERE FOR EVERYBODY TO 32,000 UP TO 32,000. OKAY, SO QUICK QUESTION FROM GONNA START OFF WITH UM, FIRST OF ALL, I THINK IT'S A THINK IT'S A VERY WELL DESIGNED PROJECT AND I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU GUYS USED A LOT OF, UH, LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT. BUT THERE IS ONE CONDITION THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THAT. I DON'T SEE IT HERE , AND I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE YOU'RE STARTING TO REMEMBER WHAT IS THAT ONE AND THAT IS REMEMBER WHAT IT IS ABOUT RENTALS. WHAT'S THAT ABOUT RENTALS? YES SO THE CONDITION IS TO PUT IN THE DOCUMENTS. AND YOU AGREED TO THIS THAT YOU HAVE TO OWN IT FOR TWO YEARS BEFORE YOU CAN RENT IT , AND THAT'S SO WE CAN KEEP BECAUSE, UNFORTUNATELY, THERE'S OTHER DEVELOPERS, ONE IN PARTICULAR THAT SELLS HALF OF THEIR UNITS TO INVESTORS, WHO THEN TURN THEM INTO RENTALS AND EFFECTIVELY TURNS THEM INTO A RENTAL COMMUNITIES. AND UM, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE COMPLAINTS. I ACTUALLY GOT INTO WHAT HAPPENS IS THEY COME IN. THEY BUY THE FIRST TRANCHE OR TO THE INVESTORS. THAT'S THAT'S THE THAT'S THE BUSINESS MODEL AND THEN AND THEN, WITH THAT FIRST TORONTO OR TWO SOLD OUT, THEN THE NEXT TRANCHES COME IN. AND NOW THAT THEY GO LOOK, WE'VE ALREADY SOLD OUT HALF OF OUR UNITS, AND THEY START RAISING THEIR PRICES UP AND I GET AS YOU SELL, YOU KNOW, THEIR PRICES ARE CONSTANTLY ADJUSTING. UM SO DO YOU GUYS AGREE TO THAT CONDITION? WE ABSOLUTELY AGREE TO IT. AS A MATTER OF FACT, RENTALS COMPLETELY GO AGAINST THE GRAIN OF WHAT WE SET OUT TO ACCOMPLISH HERE. OKAY, SO WE WOULD AGREE TO PUT IN THAT CONDITION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF TWO YEARS BECAUSE THAT'S PRETTY MUCH A STANDARD AND THEN PEOPLE GET TRANSFERRED THEIR JOBS AND CHANGE. AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT CONDOSOOK AT A DIFFERENT H OAS GENERALLY TO MOST OF THEM ARE HERE, MAX, BUT TO THERE ARE SOME THAT HAVE TO AND YOU HAVE TO GIVE PEOPLE THE ABILITY CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS AND THEY NEED TO CHANGE JOBS OR SOMETHING OR MOVE FOR AND IF THEY CAN'T SELL THEIR PLACE RIGHT AWAY, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY WHAT? YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT THE REAL ESTATE MARKET IS. SO I THINK TWO YEARS IS A FAIR ASSESSMENT BECAUSE FOR PEOPLE TO MAINTAIN THEIR PROPERTY RIGHTS YET HAVE THAT PROTECTION. UM AND THAT WILL KEEP INVESTORS FROM BUYING IN THE FUTURE AS WELL. SO NOBODY'S GONNA BUY A UNIT HOLD ONTO IT FOR TWO YEARS, SITTING VACANT JUST TO, YOU KNOW AND PLAY ALL THOSE CARS SECOND IS, UM TWO YEARS AGO. IF YOU I WOULD HAVE ASKED ME ABOUT TOWN HOUSES. I WOULD HAVE PERSONALLY SAID NO . BUT UM BECAUSE OF MY WIFE, WHO IS A LIFELONG RESIDENT OF STEWART, WE'RE BUYING A TOWNHOUSE. AND, UH, ACTUALLY, WE'RE PAYING MORE THAN ONE OF THESE. SO IT'S THE SAME. THESE WEREN'T AROUND, BUT I ACTUALLY LIKE THE LOCATION REALLY WELL, AND I LIKE THIS LOCATION. MY WIFE'S OFFICE IS RIGHT NEXT DOOR. SHE COULD HAVE WALKED TO WORK I COULD EAT, TOLD HER TO GET RID OF HER CAR. BUT UM, BUT THE REALITY IS TALKING AFTER STARTED THIS ROAD DOWN THE ROAD OF THE TOWNHOUSE, AND IMMEDIATELY I WENT KICKING AND SCREAMING ON ON THIS ONE, UM IS THAT TALKING WITH PEOPLE IN MY PEERS AND ME AND MY WIFE'S AGE GROUP THAT, UM I'M HEARING A LOT OF STEWART RESIDENTS ACTUALLY WANT THIS TYPE OF HOME. UM YES, I CAN'T BELIEVE MY WIFE DOES, BUT SHE'S AGAIN. THAT'S YOU KNOW, THAT'S SHE'S SHE'S UH SHE'S A FORCE WHEN IT COMES TO THIS, SO SHE'S GETTING WHAT SHE WANTS. AND I'M ACTUALLY VERY HAPPY NOW THAT BECAUSE NOW THAT I'M STARTING TO GET INTO IT SO, BUT SO LET'S GET INTO THE DEVELOPMENT ITSELF. FIRST OF ALL, I LIKE THE REAR FACING GARAGES, UM, THE LITTLE IMPACT ABOUT MINT STANDARDS. SO YOU'RE DOING RAIN GARDENS? YES AND THEN, UM, FIRST THE FLOODING AT TOWN PARK. UH, YOU THINK IT'LL ACCOMPLISH ALL OF THE GOALS OF THAT? THEY WERE HOPING FOR US REDUCING THAT FLOODING. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ANSWER THAT. MAYOR.

YOU KNOW, I MEAN, UM, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE WE HAVE A GREAT ENGINEER ON THIS PROJECT HAS DONE A LOT

[03:00:01]

AND, UH, THE AGENDA THAT I HAVE PRINTED IN FRONT OF ME, SAYS ORDINANCE NUMBER 24 87 2023, WHICH IS WHERE WE ARE, BUT I THINK THE THINGS THAT WERE ATTACHED STILL HAVE THE 2022 NUMBER ON IT. THAT'S WHAT I'M SEEING LISTED ON THE AGENDA AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO APPROVE OR DO ANYTHING OR VOTE ON ANY THINK THAT EITHER THE CITY CITY MANAGER, MAYBE HE SHOULD DO THAT AS HIS LAST JOB OR SOMETHING. NO CITY CITY ATTORNEY APPROVED OCTOBER 20. YEAH SO THE CITY ATTORNEY OR THE CLERK OR THE PRESENTER FROM THE DEPARTMENT COULD MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER THOSE APPROPRIATE EXHIBITS ARE THAT THEY HAVE THE RIGHT NUMBER IN OR SOMETHING. JUST TO BE SURE . YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? IS SOME MARTEL. THEY DO HAVE REFERENCE TO A NUMBER ON THEM, AND THE NUMBER WAS ASSIGNED IN 2022, RIGHT. WE'D BE HAPPY TO CHANGE HIM TO 23. WE COULD CHANGE HIM TO ALPHABET WE COULD CHANGE INTO GREEK DON'T ACTUALLY , ORDINANCE NUMBER IS THE ONLY THING THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS. THE EXHIBITS. I THINK WE'RE JUST TO HAVE THEM TRAVEL WITH IT, BUT WE'LL BE HAPPY TO CHANGE IT TO MAKE SURE JUST TO BE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM. AGENDA ITEMS, SAYS 22, OKAY. DO WE NEED A MORE? WE HAVE EMOTION ALREADY ON THE ZONING NOT READY FOR THAT POSITION. OKAY ALRIGHT . OKAY ALRIGHT. UM ANY OTHER COMMISSIONERS COMMISSIONER RICH? UM I SHOULD EXPLAIN WHY JODY AND I SPOKE TO EACH OTHER. PRIVATELY THERE IS BECAUSE. AND I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THAT ULA HAS BECAUSE I'M SORRY, COMMISSIONER CLARK BECAUSE I HAVE YOUR ORIGINAL APPLICATION HERE. AND IT'S UNDER LANDSCAPING, OPEN SPACE IN NATIVE NATIVE VEGETARIAN VEGETATION AREA, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A LANDSCAPE PALETTE CONSISTING OF 100% NATIVE PLANT MATERIAL ON THE PROPERTY. AND YOU, SAID 25.

MY LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT IS GOING TO ADDRESS THAT COMMISSIONER. EXCUSE ME. JASON RHETORIC, LITERATE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE. I LIKE TO CORRECT. 25 IT IS 100% OF EVERY TREE AND TROUBLE ON THAT PROPERTY IS NEEDED. OKAY WELL MISSING NETWORK AND I WORK 100% NOT 25. THAT'S VERY IMPRESSIVE, SLEDGE. THANK YOU. MY APOLOGIES. WE ACTUALLY READ THESE. YES. UM. WHEN WE ORIGINALLY TALKED ABOUT THIS PROJECT, WE WERE ACTUALLY I WAS JUST GETTING IMMERSED IN FORM BASED CODE. AND SOMETIMES I FELT LIKE I WAS SPEAKING WITH JESSE SEYMOUR. I MEAN, THIS IS VERY INNOVATIVE ORIENTATION. UM. I WAS AND I APPRECIATE MISS BROWNSVILLE TO COMMENT. MARGARET DID A GOOD JOB THERE. UM AND I THINK IT HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY CHANGE THE WHOLE NATURE OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. AND IT COULD BE VERY, VERY WALKABLE, WHICH IS JUST TERRIFIC. UM I DON'T WANT THIS POINT TO BE LOST THAT IT'S REALLY COMPLETING THE ORIGINAL. THIS IS PART OF THE ORIGINAL ER P FOR THIS RIGHT? IT IS RIGHT SO. THEY HAD THEY HAD THE EXISTING PROBLEM BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT FINISHED. AND YOU, IN FACT, ARE GOING TO TAKE THAT EXCESS WATER NOW YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TREAT IT CORRECT? ACTUALLY GONNA ATTENUATED. WE ARE GOING TO DO BOTH. YOU ARE TREATING IT AND WE'RE AND WE'RE PROVIDING THE ATTENUATION IN THE POND, WHICH ALSO PROVIDES THE PRE TREATMENT BEFORE IT GETS DISCHARGED. OKAY WELL, THAT'S YOU KNOW, THAT'S TERRIFIC. SO

[03:05:02]

ARE THOSE LIVE OAKS OR LAURA LOGS? BRING THE EXPERT. THEY ARE LIVE OAKS. OKAY AND I WOULD LIKE TO CORRECT MY LAST STATEMENT EVERYTHING ON SITE THAT WE'RE PROVIDING IS 100% NATIVE VEGETATION. THE STREET TREAT. YES THE ROAD NATIVE, BUT THERE'S NOT PART OF OUR WHOLE FRONTAGE ALONG THE CURVE AND CENTRAL PARKWAY. THOSE OAKS ARE GOING I CAN SEE THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE IS CORRECT. I MEAN, RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE TOWN HOMES. THEY'RE THERE, RIGHT? SHADED SIDEWALK. WHICH IS NICE. USED TO BE ALL RIGHT. HOLD ON. MY DAD ASKED.

THIS IS THE DISADVANTAGE OF HAVING THIS ON THE COMPUTER. AND IT GETTING THERE GETTING THERE.

PLUS YOU HAVE A VERY LENGTHY APPLICATIONS, MR JOHNSON. THERE WE GO. STORMWATER DETENTION. I'M ON PAGE 5 69. THE STORM WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR THE SITE HAS AN EXCESS WATER QUALITY VOLUME OF 730. IS IT NORMAL THAT EXCESS CAPACITY OR NO? YOU ACCOMPLISHING A GREAT DEAL HERE , ACCOMPLISHING A GREAT DEAL THROUGH THE LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT TECHNIQUES, AND THAT HAD TO BE QUITE HONEST. THAT'S COMPLETELY NEW TO ME BEFORE THIS PROJECT. I MEAN, WE'VE I'VE PERSONALLY HAVE NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN A PROJECT THAT DID THAT. AND I'VE, YOU KNOW, BEEN EDUCATED, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE COURSE OF THIS PROCESS, AND, YOU KNOW, FRANKLY, IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. UM I THINK THAT IT'S A IT'S A GREAT FEATURE. IT'S GREAT, ESPECIALLY THE COMMUNITY. THAT'S WATERFRONT LIKE STUART, YOU KNOW WHERE EVERYTHING IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO MAKE ITS WAY TO THE RIVER. SO WE'RE EXTREMELY PROUD OF THAT. OKAY THE NEXT TALKS ABOUT STORMWATER TREATMENT TALKS ABOUT YOUR BIO SWALES. THE RAIN GARDENS. UP TO 60 TO 90% REMOVAL OF SEDIMENTS. I MEAN, THESE ARE JUST THIS VERY ASPIRATIONAL YEAR . THE TOTAL SITE REMOVES NATURES AND PHOSPHORUS. UM. THE CHALLENGE WITH THESE TECHNOLOGIES AS THEY REQUIRE MAINTENANCE CORRECT. THAT IS CORRECT. SO ANOTHER AGREEMENT WHICH YOU FAILED TO MENTION WHICH IS THAT WHEN YOU TRANSFER TO THE H O A. THERE WILL BE A CONTRACT THERE WILL THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN THESE FACILITIES AND REPORT TO THE CITY PERIODICALLY REGARDING THAT IS CORRECT. AND YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT THAT IN THE PAST, AND THAT IS ABSOLUTELY SOMETHING THAT WE CAN RIGHT INTO THE DECLARATION WHERE THERE WOULD BE A REPORTING THAT WOULD OCCUR FROM THE TO THE CITY. IT'S NOT YOUR YOU DON'T HAVE THE STAFF TO JUST POLICE STUFF LIKE THAT. BUT YOU CAN REQUIRE THEM TO REPORT THAT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS OR A BIANNUAL BASIS.

HOWEVER SEMIANNUAL FINALLY, RIGHT? YEAH EXCUSE ME, FRIEND WRAPPING BUT NOT ONLY REPORT BUT ACTUALLY DO THE MAINTENANCE. ABSOLUTELY YEAH TO DO THE MAINTENANCE AND THEN WRITE A REPORT TO THE CITY CERTIFYING. WELL AND AS REGARDS TO THE DEFICIENCY OF STAFF TO MAKE A MONITOR THAT MS NETWORK NETWORK MIGHT DISAGREE WITH. APPARENTLY WE HAVE SOME IMPOSSIBLY COMING ON BOARD, DUDE. THAT IT'S VERY SIGNIFICANT TOURS SO YEAH, I LIKE THIS PROJECT A GREAT DEAL.

I THINK IT'S TERRIFIC. IT'S ACCOMPLISHING. YOU KNOW, AS AS ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS SAYS.

WE NEED TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE, THIS IS AS CLOSE AS WE CAN GET TO THAT, UM IT'S VERY ATTRACTIVE.

AND. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND EFFORT. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? OKAY SO LET'S SEE THE POSITION WAS TO ADD ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BEFORE CONCLUDING HIS PRESENTATION. NO, SIR. OKAY THE HEARING EVIDENCE AS PRESENTATION OF EVIDENCE IS ENDED, AND I'M CLOSING THE HEARING. DOES ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WISH TO MAKE PUBLIC COMMENTS? SAYING NONE DO THE

[03:10:04]

[10. NORTHPOINT VENTURES, LLC V. CITY OF STUART]

AGAINST THE CITY. CLAIMING THAT THE CITY'S TERMINATION LETTER VIOLATED THE CONTRACT BECAUSE THE CONTRACT HAD A 60 DAY. CURE PARAGRAPH IN THE LETTER. WE HAVE MAINTAINED AS A DEFENSE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE MATTER THAT HAD HE COME BACK IN THE NEXT 60 DAYS. WITH THE CURE. AND THE COMMISSION REFUSED. THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BECAUSE IT ALSO HAD A TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE CLAUSE THAT SAID IT WAS DUE OCTOBER 10TH. SO OCTOBER 11TH. YOU COULD NEVER MAKE IT.

OCTOBER 10TH AGAIN. SO EVEN IF YOU CAME UP WITH THE MONEY, YOU COULDN'T COME UP WITH IT LIKE A REAL ESTATE CONTRACT WITH THE TIME'S OF THE ESSENCE CAUSE BUT NO ACCOUNT WAS EVER OPENED. NO TENDER OF THE $3 MILLION WAS EVER MADE. AND NO CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION WAS EVER SUBMITTED. AS A RESULT. THE CASE KIND OF SET ON THE SHELVES AND THE LITIGATION. ALMOST GOT DISMISSED. ONE YEAR, UM IT WAS LITERALLY AT THE 12 MONTH PERIOD WHERE YOU CAN FILE A MOTION TO

[03:15:06]

UM I DIDN'T THINK THERE'S NO ONE BETTER, MR MAYOR, AND THEN WE NEED A MOTION FOR THE ATTORNEY CLIENT MEETING. YES, SIR. DO THAT ON THE NINTH. 13TH WOULD PROBABLY BE BETTER SO SECOND.

OKAY WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER COMMENTS SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER RICH DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? VERY NONE ALL IN FAVOR.
