OKAY MOVING ON TO ACTUALLY REMEMBER THREE. I'LL INTRODUCE ITEM PANEL. GHANI SADHUS CRE DIRECTOR FOR THE RECORD. UM THIS IS, UH, ITEM FOR SIMON NEIGHBORHOOD SIDEWALK AND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS. I JUST WANT TO GIVE A LITTLE BACKGROUND OF WHY THE SIERRA INITIATED THIS PROJECT. THE STATEMENT. NEIGHBORHOOD WAS ADDED IN THE SIERRA WHEN WE EXPANDED THE BOUNDARY OF THE C R A IN 2015. YOU CAN SEE THE PURPLE AREA, UM , AS SHOWN AS AREA FOUR ON THE MAP. WE DID A FINDING OF NECESSITY REPORT THAT WAS COMPLETED TO CONSIDER THE EXPANSION OF THE C R A. AND IN THAT REPORT IT IDENTIFY THOSE LACK OF PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THEN IN 18 IN 2018 AND 2019 TO SIERRA STARTED GETTING REQUESTS FROM THE RESIDENTS ON THE PLANS FOR IMPROVEMENTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND INVESTING SIERRA FUNDS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SO THEN, IN 2021, THE SIERRA INITIATIVE WORK TO IMPROVE THE SIDEWALK, CONNECTIVE ITTY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND CONNECTING TO THE EXISTING SIDEWALK SIDEWALK NETWORK THAT YOU SEE IN THE YELLOW SHADE SURROUNDING THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS AREA IS PARTICULARLY CLOSE TO OUR DOWNTOWN AND STEWART MIDDLE SCHOOL AND JD PARKER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, SO THAT'S WHAT WE FIND IT IMPORTANT TO DO THE SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. THAT'S SCIARRA HELD TO NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS TO GET FEEDBACK ON THE CONCEPTUAL PLAN. UH AT THAT MEETING, THE RESIDENTS EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT THE SIDEWALK PLACEMENT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF FIFTH STREET FROM HIGH SCHOOL AVENUE TO CORTEZ. THEY REQUESTED TO PUT THE SIDEWALK ON THE NORTH SIDE INSTEAD WHERE WE HAVE THE COMMERCIAL USES, HOWEVER, IF WE PUT IT ON THE NORTH SIDE ON, THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL EXPENSE TO THAT ABOUT $200,000 DUE TO THE IMPACT OF EXISTING LANDSCAPING SIGNAGE AND ON STREET PARKING THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES. THE RESIDENTS ALSO REQUESTED TO CONSIDER SPEED TABLES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, FOUR WAY STOP SIGNS OR OTHER TRAFFIC COMING METHODS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO ADDRESS THE STEEPED E AND, UH, SPEEDING CONCERNS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. UM SINCE THE RESIDENTS WERE CONCERNED THAT THE PROPOSED SIDEWALK ON FIFTH STREET WAS TOO CLOSE TO THEIR HOME, WE ALSO LOOKED AT YALE STREET DESIGN AS REQUESTED BY SOME OF THE RESIDENTS TO REDUCE TRAVELING WITH ON FIFTH STREET THAT WOULD ALLOW THE SIDEWALK TO BE AWAY FURTHER AWAY FROM THEIR FRONT YARD, AND IT WOULD ALSO HELP TO SLOW DOWN THE TRAFFIC. THERE'S A LOT OF CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC ON FIFTH STREET SO WE WERE TRYING TO DO A DIFFERENT DESIGN FOR THAT ROAD. THIS ALTERNATIVE WOULD INCREASE THE COST BY ABOUT $130,000. SO THIS CONCEPTUAL WAS PRESENTED TO THE RESIDENTS, BUT HOWEVER, THEY STILL PREFER THAT THE CITY AND SAW THE SIDEWALK TO THE COMMERCIAL SITE. WE ALSO LOOKED AT DIFFERENT OPTIONS TO ADDRESS THE SPEEDING CONCERNS ALONG CORTEZ AVENUE. INITIALLY STAFF PROPOSED FOUR WAY STOP SIGNS AS AN AND AS AN ALTERNATIVE. WE ALSO LOOKED AT TRAFFIC DOTS OR ARE WE CAN REFER TO IT AS SMALL TRAFFIC CIRCLES ALONG CORTEZ. UH WE WILL, WE WOULD NEED TO INSTALL ABOUT THREE TRUCKS, SMALL TRAFFIC CIRCLES BECAUSE THERE ARE THREE INTERSECTIONS ALONG THAT ROAD. THAT WOULD INCREASE THE COST AT APPROXIMATELY $20,000 VERSUS IF WE WERE TO JUST DO FOUR WAY STOP SIGNS ALONG, CORTEZ WOULD BE VERY MINIMAL. WE'RE LOOKING AT BABY ABOUT $1000. TO INSTALL THAT FOR SAFETY CONCERNS AND SPEEDING ISSUE. UM, AS REQUESTED BY RESIDENTS. WE ALSO CONDUCTED SITE SITE VISIT WITH PROPERTY OWNERS REGARDING THE GREATEST CONCERNS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE DID EXPAND THE PROJECT TO INCLUDE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS IN CONJUNCTION WITH SIDEWALKS FOR EFFICIENCY AND OVERALL IMPROVEMENTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD . THEY THIS WOULD AVOID ANY FUTURE DEMOLITION OF SIDEWALK[00:10:04]
PROJECT FOR DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS. AND SO BY COMPLETING BOTH PROJECTS SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH BE MORE COST EFFICIENT. THE PROJECT WAS PRESENTED TO THE SIERRA EARLIER THIS MONTH AND THE CONSISTENT CONSENSUS FROM THE RESIDENTS WHO ATTENDED THE MEETING THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO SEE THE SIDEWALKS, BUT THEY STILL WANT THE CITY TO ADDRESS THE TRAFFIC OR SPEEDING CONCERNS ON CORTEZ AND DRAINAGE. ONE OF THE RESIDENTS DID REQUEST SIDEWALK ON THE EAST SIDE OF HIGH SCHOOL AVENUE. SO THE CRE MOTION WAS TO INSTALL A SIDEWALK ON THE EAST SIDE OF HIGH SCHOOL AVENUE ONLY INSTALLED TRAFFIC CIRCLES INSTEAD OF FOUR WAY STOP SIGNS. AND IMPROVED DRAINAGE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. HOWEVER AFTER DISCUSSING WITH CITY STAFF IF THE SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT IS NOT GOING TO MOVE FORWARD, THEN THE STATEMENT STORMWATER IMPROVEMENT SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE STRONG WATER PROGRAM AND SHOULD BE PRIORITIZED IN THE C I. P BASED ON QUALIFICATIONS AND, UM AND PRIORITIZE WITH THE OTHER STORMWATER IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITY. UM SO STAFF WAS LOOKING FOR THAT STOP, IS ALSO COORDINATING WITH BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB FOR THE SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. UH BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB IS GOING TO PAY THE DIRT ROAD AT THE END OF HIGH SCHOOL AVENUE AND ADD NEW SIDEWALK ON THE WEST SIDE OF HIGH SCHOOL AVENUE TO CONNECT TO EXISTING SIDEWALK. THAT'S ALREADY THERE. UM BUT IF THE CR CENSUS CRV RECOMMENDED TO INSTALL THE SIDEWALK ON EAST SIDE ONLY ON HIGH SCHOOL AVENUE STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT WE COORDINATE WITH BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS IN SOUTH SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET SO THAT THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE TO GO IN AND JUST PUT SIDEWALK ON ONE SIDE SINCE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB IS ALREADY GOING TO BE DOING IT ON THE ON THE ON THE WEST SIDE. UM, SHOULD THE C R A BOARD VOTE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IMPROVEMENTS ESTIMATED COST IS 1.5 MILLION FOR SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS WITH THE PROPOSED DESIGN. THIS IS NOT INCLUDE ANY ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS THAT WERE PRESENTED AND APPROXIMATELY 3.3 MILLION FOR DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS. TOTAL COST OF 4.8 MILLION CAPRA FROM CAP TECH IS HERE TO PRESENT THE DESIGN IN DETAIL. STAFF IS LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK ON OVERALL DESIGN AND WHETHER THE SIERRA SHOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS. AND IF SO , STAFF IS LOOKING FOR DIRECTION ON SIDEWALK PLACEMENT ON FIFTH STREET AND DIRECTIONAL STORE STORMWATER IMPROVEMENT. MR JACK. CRB DID ME THERE WERE. MORE RESIDENTS THAN THEY HAVE NOW BECAUSE I BELIEVE THEY THOUGHT IT WAS ALMOST A DONE DEAL. EVERYTHING THAT WE THAT WAS MENTIONED. NO ONE SAID WE DIDN'T HAVE THE BUDGET. WE DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY. THIS WAS NOT PART OF THE PLAN. SO UNLESS NONE OF THAT WAS IN THE BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR OR NEXT YEAR, RATHER I'M GONNA SORT OF INSIST. THAT WE GO AHEAD. AT LEAST. AND DO WHAT THE RESIDENTS WHAT NOT WHAT THE C R A WANTS NOT WHAT STAFF WANTS BECAUSE FRANK. UNFORTUNATELY ONLY FRANK AND I ARE HERE, BUT WE REPRESENTED. WITH A SPECIFIC BUNCH OF ALTERNATIVES. NEIGHBORHOOD HEARD THOSE ALTERNATIVES. NOW TO COME AND TRY TO CHANGE THEM BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T PART OF AN OVERALL PLAN IS NOT FAIR TO THE RESIDENTS. IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER WHO WERE ON THE BOARD AT THE TIME WHEN WE WHEN WE, UH, BROUGHT THIS INTO THE C R A THIS NEIGHBORHOOD THERE WAS A LOT OF OPPOSITION TO IT. AND I KNOW I PROMISED AND SOME OF YOU GUYS PROMISED NOT TO DO ANYTHING THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD DID NOT WANT LIKE. CONNECT TO MLK OVER. OVER THE RIDGE WITH THE BRIDGE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. AND THIS IS SOMETHING THIS NEIGHBORHOOD WANTS THE BEST FOR NOTHING SINCE THEY'VE BEEN PART OF THE C R A AND I REALLY THINK WE SHOULD GO AHEAD WITH THEIR WISHES. IF WE'RE GOING TO DO IT, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DO EVERYTHING IN THE COMING BUDGET. BUT IT SHOULD BE IN THE C I P SO IT CAN BE DONE IF NOT IN 24 AND 25. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YEAH. AGREE THE NEIGHBORS ON FIFTH ARE ADAMANT ABOUT WHAT THEY DID AND DID NOT WANT MOSTLY DID NOT WANT. BUT THEN THAT LED US TO WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ON CORTEZ AND THREE TRAFFIC CIRCLES WERE BROUGHT UP? AND I WOULD LIKE IF. THREE TRAFFIC CIRCLES IN THAT LITTLE SPACE. HAS ANY TRACTION[00:15:01]
WHATSOEVER. I WOULD LIKE STEP ONE TO BE TOO ABSOLUTELY AND I DROVE. THERE'S ONLY 12. MAYBE 14 HOUSES AFFECTED ON CORTEZ AND THE INTERSECTIONS BETWEEN MLK AND EAST OCEAN. I WOULD LIKE STEP ONE OF ANY PROCESS TO BE TO PULL THOSE PEOPLE THAT LIVE ON CORTEZ AND SEE WHAT IS THEIR OPINION ON GETTING THE TRAFFIC TO SLOW DOWN. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO RUN ACROSS TO PEOPLE ON THE STREET WHEN I CUT THROUGH THERE. AND THEN I TALKED TO A FEW MORE IN THE AUDIENCE ALREADY, AND IT'S ALREADY 40 AGAINST TRAFFIC CIRCLES. SO I'M JUST ASKING THAT STEP ONE WOULD BE TO ASK THE RESIDENTS ON CORTEZ WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE AS FAR AS HOW TO SLOW DOWN THE TRAFFIC, THAT'S ALL.THANK YOU. SO THAT'S A GOOD SEGUE INTO WHAT I WANTED TO SAY, WHICH IS, IT SEEMS LIKE INTO NOBODY. NO FALL, UH, TO ANYBODY, BUT COMING UP WITH A BETTER PROCESS FOR TRULY AUDITING DESIRE. AND FOR WHAT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BEFORE WE DEPLOY RESOURCES OR GET DESIGNS MADE OR ENGINE BEFORE WE GET THIS FAR INTO A PROCESS TRULY GETTING A SENSE OF WHAT A NEIGHBORHOOD WANT SO THAT WE DON'T GET TO THIS POINT WHERE THERE SEEMS TO BE, YOU KNOW, TO ALTERNATIVE PERSPECTIVES OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE VERSUS THE SIERRA. MY QUESTION WOULD BE IF IT'S IN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THAT BUDGET. IS IT NO LONGER WITHIN THE C R A. OR IS THAT SO IF I COULD JUST CHIME IN WHAT REALLY HAPPENED WAS THE CR CR A, WHICH IS THE FUN. AS A NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT AND ENHANCEMENT HAS A SIDEWALK PROGRAM. AND THEY WENT INTO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD TO SAY HEY, DO YOU GUYS WANT SIDEWALKS? GIVE YOU RED MCDONALD'S AND I SAY, HEY, DO YOU WANT A QUARTER POUNDER WITH CHEESE? AND YOU'RE SAYING NO, BUT I'D LIKE A STATE AND A SIDE SALAD AND A BOTTLE OF WINE. IT'S LIKE YOU DON'T THAT'S NOT ON THE MENU. IT'S LIKE, DO YOU WANT A SIDEWALK AND THE ANSWER WAS HOW ABOUT THROWING A COUPLE OF TRAFFIC CIRCLES? WE COULD USE SOME STORMWATER AND THIS OTHER STUFF THAT WASN'T ACTUALLY THERE . WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE STORM WATER WAS THAT IT? THERE IS SOME FLOODING OVER THAT AREA THAT WHEN THEY GET HEAVY RAINS AND FAMILIAR WITH IT, AND IT'S SHOULD BE PROGRAMMING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS, BUT WHAT HAPPENED WAS WHEN THE SIDEWALKS WE'RE BEING DESIGNATED AS GOING IN. QUICK RESPONSE WAS WAIT A SECOND, YOU CAN'T SPEND A MILLION AND A HALF ON SIDEWALKS AND THEN TEAR THEM OUT THREE YEARS LATER TO PUT STORMWATER IN BECAUSE THAT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. IF YOU DON'T DO THAT, SO ALL OF A SUDDEN IT ACCELERATES THIS $3.6 MILLION STORMWATER PROBLEM. TO JUMP TO THE TOP OF THE LIST BECAUSE THE SIDEWALK MONEY IS AVAILABLE. BUT IN MY PERCEPTION OF IT IS WHAT I HEARD. PRETTY LOUD AND CLEAR WAS THAT EVERYBODY WANTED SIDEWALKS AS LONG AS IT WASN'T ON THEIR PROPERTY. AND AS A RESULT, I THOUGHT THAT THE. I THINK THE NOTES REFLECT THAT. THERE WAS SOME REDUCED. SIDEWALK AREA OVER ON HIGH SCHOOL RIGHT THAT THAT TO ME SEEMS REASONABLE WITH STAY IN AND DO THE SIDEWALK THAT CAN BE DONE IN THAT GREEN LIGHT. THE STORMWATER STILL UNDER THE SIERRA AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS , STORMWATER IS IF THE C R A HAS THE FUNDING TO DO THAT STORM WATER. OR IF IT'S PRIORITIZED. I HAVEN'T MET WITH MILTON THIS WEEK ON THE STORMWATER. AS FAR AS THE C I, P HAS BEEN TURNED. IT CAN GO BACK TO THE CITY COMMISSION AND ADJUST THE STORM WATER OR THE C R A COULD RE PRIORITIZE ITS STORMWATER FUNDS BUT RECOGNIZED THAT PROJECT.
WOULD BE 100% OF EVERYTHING FOR THE YEAR. HMM IF YOU DID THE STORM WATER AND THE SIDEWALKS, YOU'RE EXCEEDING $5 MILLION RIGHT THERE, AND IT'S OVER. THERE'S NO OTHER. THERE'S NOTHING ELSE, NO OTHER PROJECTS . YOU'RE OUT. THAT'S THAT'S MIKE WAS, IT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN BROUGHT TO THE CRB IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD SHOULD NEVER BEEN BROUGHT IN. BUT YOU CAN DO LONG RANGE PLANS AHEAD. DO PLANS THAT DON'T HAPPEN IN ONE YEAR NOW HAVE BEEN EXPLAINED TO WHAT WAS PRESENTED TO THEM AS CYCLOPS. AND THEY SAID, NO, THANK YOU. WELL, THEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED THERE. NO, THANK YOU BEFORE LEAVING THAT TO THE CRB. WELL THAT'S WHERE THAT'S WHERE THEY SAID NO, THANK YOU. WAS THAT THE CRB PUBLIC HEARING AND EVERYTHING ELSE SHOULD HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN PART OF THE PLAN. WELL, EXCEPT FOR WHAT HAPPENS IS PUBLIC COMMENTS THAT SOMEBODY SAYS WELL, I DON'T KNOW THE PLAN . I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE A TRAFFIC CIRCLE THAT WAS AT THE WORKSHOPS BEFOREHAND. SO THE CRB STAFF MEMBERS HAVE TO BRING IT AND PRESENTED TO THE BOARD. IT HAS TO COME FORWARD AS A BOARD PRESENTATION, BUT I AGREE WITH YOU THAT IT NEEDED IT. WHEN IT CAME TO THE CRB. IT SHOULD HAVE HAD A ASTERIX NEXT TO IT LIKE HEY, AS A SIDE NOTE. WE HAVE THIS TRAFFIC ISSUE, HOWEVER, AS AS YOU'RE HEARING THEY'RE SAYING WELL, IF YOU WANT TO PRIORITIZE
[00:20:05]
THESE TRAFFIC CIRCLES, SINCE WE'RE NOT SPENDING THE MONEY ON THE SIDEWALKS IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THIS BEAUTIFICATION TO BE THESE TRAFFIC CIRCLES IF THEY COME INTO THE BUDGET OF $120,000 TO BUILD THREE TRAFFIC CIRCLES, WHICH I DON'T THINK THAT WILL HAPPEN. I WOULD BE IMPRESSED, BUT WHAT? WHAT WHAT IT REALLY IS SEEKING SOME DIRECTION AND IF IT'S THE DIRECTION OF THE SCIARRA RIGHT NOW TO SAY, LOOK, SEE WHAT'S GOING. WHAT ARE YOU CAN DO SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO ON THOSE PARTICULAR SIDEWALKS AND I HEAR MR MCCHRYSTAL SAYING. HE DIDN'T REALLY CATCH A CONSENSUS FOR THE TRAFFIC CIRCLES AND MAYBE CONTINUE DOING A PARALLEL COURSE OF REVIEWING THE TRAFFIC CIRCLES BUT GO BACK GIVE MORE PUBLIC COMMENTS, ESPECIALLY FROM THOSE PEOPLE THAT LIVE. ON THOSE INTERSECTIONS ALSO I AM SPEAKING TO THE DIRECTOR, UM SHE TOLD ME THAT THE DESIGN THAT WAS PRESENTED WAS TO DEMONSTRATE THAT AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE COULD GO THROUGH AND SOME OTHER STUFF AND THAT IT WASN'T A FINAL PLAN OR ANYTHING CLOSE TO THAT BECAUSE I ALSO THINK IT MATTERS.THAT YOU DON'T UM THE BIG THING I HEARD AT THAT MEETING. WAS THAT THE RESIDENTS DID NOT WANT US TO TOUCH THE VEGETATION. THERE WAS A LOT OF BUFFERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND SO WHEN I WENT AND LOOKED AT CORTEZ AND FIFTH THERE IS A SINGLE RESIDENT WHO HAS PLANTED A LOT OF STUFF IN THE VIEW SHARED THAT'S PROBABLY NOT ALLOWED, BUT IT'S STILL THERE AND THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET, THERE'S PLANTING'S ALL THE WAY RIGHT UP TO THE SIDE TO THE EDGE OF THIS STREET AS WELL. IT SEEMED TO ME THAT IF DRIVING CIRCLE WAS GOING IN ALL OF THAT STUFF AND THE RIGHT OF WAY IS GOING TO BE GOING OUT. AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT BEFORE YOU DO IT, BECAUSE I AGREE WITH FRANK ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD ENGAGEMENT BEFORE THE TRAFFICKERS. I THINK THAT FROM A TRAFFIC CALMING PERSPECTIVE, I THINK THE TRAFFIC CIRCLES ARE REALLY GOOD. I DON'T THINK THAT WE CAN BUILD THEM FOR THAT PRICE IS I JUST DON'T. UM BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS LOOKING AT THE JUST SINCE THE STORM WATER HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP, AND I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THIS AND I KNOW , FOR EXAMPLE, ON FIFTH STREET DOWN NEAR PALM BEACH ROAD, THERE'S ONE HOUSE. THAT'S 123. I THINK IT'S THE FOURTH HOUSE IN FROM PALM BEACH ROAD, MAYBE THE FIFTH HOUSE. LITERALLY I'VE SEEN THE WATER ALL THE WAY AROUND THE HOUSE. IT'S JUST IN FACT, JUST I SAW A PICTURE OF IT JUST TWO DAYS AGO OR LAST FRIDAY. I THINK IT WAS, UM SO THERE'S NO STORM WATER OVER THERE, AND THAT DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. SO MY UNDER STORMWATER SIDE OF THINGS. MY QUESTION IS, UM HAS IS THIS PART OF OUR STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN AND HOW DOES IT FIT INTO THAT? BECAUSE WE HAVE STORM WATER ALL OVER ISSUES ALL OVER THE CITY. WE HAVE A FINITE NUMBER OF RESOURCES. UM WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT FALLS IN WITH OUR STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN. AND IF IT'S NOT PART OF OUR STORM WATER MANAGEMENT, I THINK WE SHOULD ADD IT. I THINK THAT IT I THINK THAT UM IT'S A FINE USE OF THE SIERRA FUNDS TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES AND IS MR COMPANY HAS SAID THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS NOT ASKED FOR ANYTHING IN 10 YEARS, AND I THINK THAT THIS IS A THIS IS A FINE TIME TO ADDRESS SOME OF THESE ISSUES, BUT OH, I THINK THAT WE NEED TO DO IT IN A IN A METHODICAL, PLANNED METHOD, SO THAT WE A MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE DOING IT. PROPERLY SO THAT WE SOLVE THE PROBLEMS. BE THAT THE IT'S SOMETHING LIKE WITH THE TRAFFIC CIRCLES. IT'S WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS, UH, AND SIDEWALKS IF WE'RE GONNA SPEND AND A HALF HOURS ON SIDEWALKS, AND THEN WE NEED TO, UH, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE COINCIDE WITH ANY STORMWATER IMPROVEMENT SO THAT WE'RE NOT DOING THINGS TWICE. UM AND SPENDING, YOU KNOW, SPENDING MONEY FOR THE SAKE OF SPENDING MONEY? UM BUT SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I'M AT. BUT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO BE LOOKING AT THE STORM WATER DOWN THE OTHER END OF FIFTH, CHRIS FINALLY, YOU'VE ALREADY LOOKED AT THE STORMWATER IMPROVEMENTS RIGHT? THAT'S ALREADY MAPPED OUT HERE. CAN YOU FLIP TO THAT? CAPRA'S PRESENTATION? IF YOU WANT HIM TO EXPLAIN THAT BRIEFLY BE GREAT BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THE CONSENSUS IS A SIDEWALK ON HIGH SCHOOL, JUST TRYING TO GET SOME DIRECTION, SIDEWALK ON HIGH SCHOOL AND THEN STORMWATER DRAINAGE AND THEN WAITING ON CIRCLES TOLD THE NEIGHBORHOOD SAYS, BECAUSE THE SENSE I GOT FROM WATCHING THAT MEETING WAS ESPECIALLY ON STATESMAN. THEY DON'T WANT SIDEWALKS IN THEIR YARD BECAUSE THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO PARK AND IF ANYTHING, THEY NEED TO BE ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE THAT'S MORE APPROPRIATE. SO IT SEEMS LIKE HIGH SCHOOL SIDEWALK STORMWATER DRAINAGE. OKAY GET INTO HER FOR THE RECORD
[00:25:01]
FROM CAMP. TAKE ENGINEERING. SO, UM UH, I THINK I'VE HEARD EVERYTHING. AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M GETTING STRAIGHT A LITTLE BIT. FIRST OF ALL, WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS SINCE 2021 AND WE TOLD THE RESIDENTS THAT WE WERE GOING TO LISTEN TO THEM, WOULD YOU TO BE ASKED WHETHER YOU HAD NUMEROUS MEETINGS ON THIS, AND I THINK THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING. WE NEVER REALLY SAID THAT WE WOULD DO ONE THING OR ANOTHER. WE BASICALLY SAID, HERE'S SOME OPTIONS THINGS THAT YOU MENTIONED, SO I ONLY WANT TO BE FAIR TO PANEL ON THIS BECAUSE WE'VE HAD TWO PUB TO PUBLIC MEETINGS WE MET IN THE FIELD LOOKED AT DIFFERENT THINGS. AND TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I COULD KEEP DOING ALL SORTS OF PLANS HERE AND SPENDING YOUR MONEY, BUT I SAID, NO, LISTEN, LET'S JUST LISTEN TO WHAT EVERYBODY WANTS. LET'S MAKE SURE WE'RE GETTING CONSENSUS FROM THE CRB AS WELL AS FROM THIS BOARD, SO I ONLY WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW. UM I COULD SPEND A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT REQUESTS THAT I'VE HAD HERE. THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT WANT SIDEWALKS OUT THERE, THE ONES THAT PROBABLY WE COULDN'T GET CONSENSUS ON IS GOING TO BE IS THE ONE ON FIFTH STREET, OKAY? AND THAT'S FINE. WE WE COULDN'T GET CONSENSUS ON THAT STATEMENT . ALL THAT WAS WAS TO REPAIR THE SIDEWALK SET OUT THERE. AND OBVIOUSLY, THE FIRST THING WE DID IS WE WENT AND SURVEYED EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WEREN'T DISTURBING. UM LANDSCAPING AND TELL ME WHERE THE TRIPPING HAZARD DESIRE AND TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. THE DRAINAGE CAME AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT . WE HAD SOME PEOPLE THAT HAD FLOODING AND I DIDN'T LOOK AT THIS FROM MY JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY HAD A PUDDLE HERE ARE HUDDLED THERE. I LOOKED AT WHERE WATER WAS GOING ACROSS THE STREET AND WE HAD SIGNIFICANT FLOODING. NOW I WILL TELL YOU THAT THIS AREA HERE DOES HAVE FLOODING. BUT WE DIDN'T REALLY WE DIDN'T REALLY GO THROUGH A FULL BLOWN DRAINAGE STUDY ON THE WHOLE COMMUNITY. WE WENT TO DIFFERENT AREAS OF PEOPLE TOLD US ABOUT THE PROBLEM. AND THIS IS ONE AREA HERE THAT THEY SPOKE ABOUT, WHICH WHICH IS ENCORE. TRANS OKAY, AND OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A DRAINAGE SYSTEM HERE. THIS COULD BE EXTENDED AND WE CAN SOLVE THE DRAINAGE PROBLEM HERE. AGAIN THE IDEA THAT WHEN WE FIRST GOT INTO THIS WHERE WE SHOULD HAVE SOME SIDEWALKS ALONG, CORTEZ BECAUSE A LOT OF CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC COMES THROUGH HERE, AND WE ACTUALLY STARTED WITH SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD. AND WHAT WE FOUND OUT IS NO. THEY DIDN'T NEED HIM ON BOTH SIDES, AND THEN WE HAD TO DECIDE FROM THE PEOPLE THAT WE SPOKE TO WHICH SIDE WAS PREFERABLE, OKAY, AND THE PEOPLE THAT WE TRIED TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT AND IT WAS IT WAS ON THE EAST SIDE IS WHAT WE CAME UP WITH. WE COULD GO TO THE WEST SIDE. THERE'S PROBABLY A FEW MORE IMPACTS, OKAY, AND THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT WE WOULD DO DIFFERENT ON THAT SIDE. BUT WE KIND OF LOOKED AT THAT THAT SIDE ON THE EAST SIDE. PRESIDE ONES. I'M JUST TELLING YOU HOW IT PROGRESSED. I'M NOT TELLING YOU ONE WAY OR THE OTHER FIFTH STREET AGAIN. WE HAD THE RESIDENTIAL PEOPLE DID NOT WANT IT ON THEIR SIDE. SO WE LOOKED AT THE COMMERCIAL SIDE. IT'S A LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE. WE LOOKED AT NARROWING THE STREET. LET'S REMEMBER THE WHOLE NORTH SIDE OF THIS STREET IS COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES. THEY PARKED THERE AND SO THE RESIDENTS HERE, YOU KNOW THEY'RE RIGHT. THEY'RE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET, AND I KNOW THEY WANT TO BUFFER. AND I BELIEVE ME. I'VE DONE NUMEROUS SIDEWALK PROJECTS WHERE PEOPLE DON'T WANT THE NEW SIDEWALK RIGHT UP BY THE FRONT DOOR, THE FRONT WINDOWS THEY LIKE, GET AWAY FROM THE PROPERTY AS FAR AS THE HOUSE AS I CAN GET IT, OKAY, SO PUT IT ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE IS NOT A BAD IDEA. IT'S JUST THERE'S MORE MONEY INVOLVED BECAUSE WE HAVE MORE PLANTINGS TO ADJUST. WE HAVE NEW. WE HAVE SOME SIGNS OUT THERE THAT HAVE TO BE MOVED. THEY'RE NOT ASTRONOMICAL COSTS, BUT THEY ARE COSTS THAT WE HAVE BASICALLY PRESENTED THAT SO ANYWAYS. THE OTHER PEOPLE. I WILL NOT SAY THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT BUT ONCE THEY NOTE THAT WE'RE STEPPING BOULEVARD SIDEWALKS ALREADY THERE WERE JUST REPAIRING DAMAGE . OKAY CROSS STREETS, CORTEZ, THERE SEEMS TO BE A GOOD REASON FOR THAT. BECAUSE OF THE CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC, WHETHER YOU DO IT ON BALBOA OR OR AMERICA THAT'S UP TO YOU. WE ALREADY KNOW THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE SIDEWALKS. ON, UM AND HIGH SCHOOL AVENUE. OKAY BECAUSE OF BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, SO THAT'S ANOTHER. ESSENTIALLY WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE CIRCULATION OF SIDEWALKS AROUND THE PREMIER.YOU ALREADY HAVE THE MONEY. EAST OCEAN PALM BEACH ROAD, SO, JOE WHAT ABOUT THE DRAINAGE AT THE EAST END OF HISTORY BY PALM BEACH. GREAT THAT WE WERE RIGHT IN THEIR AREA. DONNA SHOWED ME THOSE PICTURES. I CAN AGREE WITH THEM. WE GOT WE GOT PICTURES, AND WE KNOW THAT THERE'S SOME DRAINAGE HERE. WE CAN. WE CAN SOLVE IT. THE QUESTION IS WHICH WERE OUT I TAKE TO GET THAT SOUND. OF COURSE, THERE ARE PONDS IN THIS AREA THAT WE CAN GO TO. YOU KNOW, BUT. I DIDN'T WANT TO GET TO A FINAL PLAN UNTIL I KNEW WHICH DIRECTION YOU GUYS WANTED TO TAKE. I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU BECAUSE I'VE BEEN DOING YOUR MASTER STONE WATER PLAN. UH THIS IS NOT ON THE PRIORITY LIST. BE HONEST THERE. THERE'S OTHER ONES THAT ARE MORE HIGHER PRIORITY TO THIS. THE OTHER THING. THERE'S CURRENTLY A LOT MORE STORMWATER GRANTS OUT THERE AND THERE ARE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. I WOULD I WOULD QUESTION WHY YOU WANT TO PUT YOUR SCIARRA FUNDS IN STORM WATER BECAUSE YOU CAN GET GRANTS. THERE'S PLENTIFUL AMOUNT OF THOSE I WOULD GO AFTER THOSE
[00:30:04]
GRANTS AND GET ON THE LIST. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THESE THESE IMPROVEMENTS WILL NOT HAPPEN. IT JUST MEANS WHEN THEY WILL HAPPEN IS WHEN WE GET A GRANT FOR OKAY, SO THAT'S THAT'S ONE OF MY RECOMMENDATIONS. DEAL. UM WE DEFINITELY HAD OF THE AREAS THAT SEEM TO HAVE FLOODING OF A BUILDING AND SO FORTH. RIGHT HERE. VOLUNTEERS IN MEDICINE HAS FLOODING OF THE BUILDING. OKAY AND I BELIEVE FOR A LOT OF REASONS THAT THAT WOULD BE AN AREA WE SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON GETTING SOLVED. WE ALSO HAD FOUGHT IN ALONG HERE. IT'S DITTMANN. AND SO WE TOOK IT DOWN HERE AND DRAIN ENOUGH ALL THIS WAY AND HARDLY FOR INTERRUPTING, BUT JUST SO I UNDERSTAND IT, BUT RIGHT? MEDICINE I DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT BUILDING WAS BUILT, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAD TO DO ANY STORM WATER AT ALL FOR THEIR BUILDING ITSELF OR NOT. I DON'T KNOW IF IT HAS IT OR NOT, AND ISN'T THERE THAT PARKING LOT GREAT PEOPLE ARE GRADE YES, THAT'S THAT'S ONE OF THE PROBLEMS. THEY HAD DONE. QUITE A. WE'VE DONE WORK. WITH THEM ON A FEW ITEMS, AND THEY HAVE AN AREA HERE OF ROCK. ROCK AREA THERE THAT WILL, THEY WILL HAVE TO DO SOME MORE IMPROVEMENTS ON THEIR PROPERTY. OKAY WE WOULD HAVE TO COINCIDE WITH THEM BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO WRITE. SO WHAT'S PLANNED THERE? OKAY LET'S PLAN. THERE'S CAPTURE THE WATER BEFORE IT GOES DOWN THEIR DRIVEWAY AND GETS INTO THE BOTTOM AREA. OKAY THAT'S ONE THING, FIX THAT FOR THEM AND DIRECTLY FOR THEM. FIX THE ROCK AREA THAT IS AN EXFILTRATION TRENCH NEXT TO THE PARKING LOT, OKAY, WHICH IS DOWN BELOW, OKAY? SO AT LEAST THEY KEEP THE WATER FROM GETTING IN THERE, AND WE BASICALLY WHEN IT IS IN THEIR WATER DOES FALL THERE. WE TRADED AND BASICALLY KEEP IT ON THE GROUND. THIS AREA HERE IS AN ALLEY RIGHT THERE. WE WOULD PUT PERVIOUS PAVEMENT IN THERE AND WE PUT EX FILTRATION PIPE AGAIN CAPTURING WATER BEFORE IT GOES DOWN INTO THE SLOW AREA AND FILLS UP UNDER THEIR BUILDING. SO I WAS ACTUALLY TRYING TO FIND ALL THESE THINGS THAT THE CITY WOULD BE IMPROVING UPON OUR WITHIN PUBLIC RIGHT AWAY. WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING OUTSIDE THE PUBLIC RIGHT AWAY. AND THEN WE BASICALLY WOULD TAKE THIS AS AN R FALL IN THIS DIRECTION WHERE THERE'S ALREADY THIS. THIS WAS KIND OF A LOW LYING AREA LIKE HERE. AND BASICALLY FOLLOWING THE STRETCHING IT. CERTAINLY HE STOOD AREA. WE CAN SHOW YOU THE OVERALL STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MAPS THAT DEPICT THAT SO ANYWAYS , THAT'S WHERE WE PLAN. THE MAIN AREA FOR DRAINAGE AT THIS POINT AGAIN, WE KNOW THAT WE NEED TO DO SOME IMPROVEMENTS THERE. UM THIS ACTUALLY WILL BE EXTENDED TO HERE BECAUSE WE IN SOME OF THE HEAVIER RAINS WITH MOST RECENTLY HAD WATER IS GOING OVER THE ROAD AND IT'S BASICALLY IT IS. THERE'S A LOT MORE FLOODING IN THAT AREA, AND IT'S ABOUT THREE HOUSES DOWN FROM WHERE WE STOPPED THERE, SO WE ARE MONITORING THIS AS WE SEE THE LARGE STORM OF EVENTS THAT HAPPENED DURING THE SUMMERTIME. AND SO AND WE'VE HAD GOOD INFORMATION FROM DAN OVER HERE. UM, AND BASICALLY HISTORY, SO WE KNOW WE GOT TO TAKE CARE OF THAT, UM FOR THE MOST PART, THE STORM WATER SYSTEM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA HIT CERTAIN AREAS OF PROBLEMS. BUT IF YOU WANT TO DO A COMPREHENSIVE STORMWATER IN EVERY PUDDLE AND EVERYTHING, YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND SOME MONEY, FOLKS AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NEED THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE COMPLAINT, BUT CERTAINLY WE WANT TO DO THOSE THINGS BEFORE WE PUT THE SIDEWALK IN PLACE. OKAY SO THAT'S THAT'S IT, MILLER CAMPENNI. SO THIS IS REALLY GOOD, RIGHT? FROM WHAT WE'RE HERE. I WANT YOU TO THIS RATES ARE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE NEED.GET THE MONEY. I'M GONNA TEST SOMETHING. UNTIL. THIS IS WHAT. OH WISE DIRECTION. YES, LET'S KEEP DIRECTION TO GO AHEAD. COMING. YEAH. AN EXIT. BEEN HERE. WHAT DID YOU JUST ER MEETING OUT, BUT THEY NEED TO COME BACK ANYMORE. SCRATCH IT. OKAY I HAVE SOME PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS. I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND CALL FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. ROBERT WOLF. MR WOLF, YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ROBERT WOLF 5 TO 7 SOUTHEAST CORTEZ AVENUE. THAT'S THE CORNER OF CORTEZ AND STEADMAN, WHERE THE LITTLE RED DRAINAGE UM EXTENSION. THANK YOU. I DIDN'T.
YEAH RIGHT HERE. THAT LITTLE THAT LITTLE EXTENSION RIGHT. THERE WOULD MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE TO OUR YARD WHICH FLOODS THIS WHOLE SIDE AND WRAPS AROUND OUR HOUSEACK HERE DURING FLOODING EVENTING IN JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WHEN WE HAD A RAIN IT. UH IT FLOODED THIS AREA. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. UM I IMAGINE THE FLOODING UP HERE IS CAUSED BY THOSE TWO NEW HOUSES RIGHT HERE. THEY GOT BUILT UP SUPER HIGH, AND IT PROBABLY RUNS DOWN TO THE
[00:35:02]
HOUSES NEXT TO HIM. BUT SPEAKING ABOUT OUR HOUSE, UM IN THE 20 YEARS THAT MY WIFE HAS OWNED THE HOUSE, SHE SAYS. IT'S BEEN GETTING GETTING WORSE. I'VE BEEN THERE 15 YEARS. I SEE IT GETTING WORSE. THERE'S ALREADY THE DRAINAGE HERE. IT'S A SIMPLE MATTER OF PUT IN A NUDE A NEW HOLE IN THE GROUND AND CONNECTING IT, AND THAT'S OUR MAIN FOCUS. UM THE SECOND MAIN FOCUS FOR US WOULD BE SPEEDING ON CORTEZ. AND UM, FOUR HOLES IN THE GROUND AND A COUPLE OF STOP SIGNS IS ALL WE REQUEST NOTHING MORE THAN THAT. WE NEED TO SLOW THE TRAFFIC DOWN THE CORPORATE CORTEZ. TODAY. NOT TOMORROW. AND, UM, SIDEWALKS. SIDEWALKS ARE GREAT. WE HAVE NO QUORUM AGAINST SIDEWALKS. THE LATEST PLAN THAT WAS PUT FORWARD PUTS IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR FRONT DOOR. UM THE ENGINEERING COMPANY AND THEN L HAVE BEEN OUT MANY TIMES TO MEET WITH US, AND WE APPRECIATE ALL THEIR TIME. AND I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TONIGHT. LET ME SPEAK. AND, UM AND YEAH, WE'RE NOT AGAINST THE SIDEWALK AT ALL. WE DEFINITELY WANT THE DRAINAGE RESOLVED AND THE SPEEDING RESOLVED. DRAINAGE CAN BE RESOLVED IN TIME. ONE YEAR, TWO YEARS. IT'S OKAY. SPEEDING SHOULD BE RESOLVED YESTERDAY. AND I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT TOMORROW? THEN? IF YOU WOULD WHEN YOU'RE DONE FILL OUT THE CARD. I'M SORRY.AND PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE AN ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. OKAY THANK YOU. I'M JORDAN'S BROMBERG . I'M THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR FOR VOLUNTEERS IN MEDICINE CLINIC.
WHICH IS AT 4 17, SOUTH EAST BALBOA OVER THE CORNER OF UH, FIFTH STREET, WHERE JOE WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT DRAINAGE AS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR US. UNDERSTAND THAT THE UNDERGROUND PARKING IS LOW. BUT THE ALL THE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT IS THERE AS WELL AND THE FLOOD WARS HAVE COME WITHIN A FEW INCHES OF REACHING THE ELECTRICAL BOXES. SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS A REAL PRIORITY FOR US. I HOPE THAT YOU FEEL THAT WE PROVIDE A GREAT SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT AND CONQUEST.
GREAT DAMAGE TO HER PROPERTY OF IT'S NOT TAKEN CARE OF IN A TIMELY MANNER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR LISTENING. VOLUNTEERING MEDICINE DOES GREAT WORK. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT? MR QUADS? OH, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD, AND IF YOU TURN INTO A GREEN CARD, AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES YEAH, I DON'T NEED TO PLAY. MY NAME IS DON QUADRA 936 SALARIES, FIFTH STREET. UM I'VE BEEN DOING THIS, AS YOU KNOW, FOR, LIKE 45 YEARS NOW AS A PLANNER, AND I HAVE NEVER SPOKEN ABOUT MY NEIGHBORHOOD IN ANY PUBLIC MEETING, AND NOW I'M DOING IT TWICE. BUT I WILL SAY THAT AS A PLANNER FOR ALL THOSE YEARS, I CAN TELL YOU I DON'T CARE HOW MANY TIMES SHE MEETS WITH NEIGHBORS. YOU AREN'T NECESSARILY GOING TO GET A CONSENSUS AND THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB. I MEAN, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. I'M DOING THIS FOR 45 YEARS. TALKING TODAY WAS, UM BUT ONE THING I DID SEE AT THE LAST MEETING THAT THE FIFTH STREET PEOPLE ARE VERY CLEAR. THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED IN A SIDEWALK. IT BREAKS MY HEART TO HEAR NO SIDEWALKS, BUT I UNDERSTAND EVERYBODY'S CONCERNED ABOUT SIDEWALKS. I'M CONSTANTLY TRYING TO MAKE COMMUNITIES CONNECTED. UH SO I THINK THAT IT'S VERY CLEAR. MR CAMPENNI SAID THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD DOESN'T WANT ANY SIDEWALKS ON FIFTH STREET. EVEN IF THEY ARE THEY NEED TO BE ON THE NORTH SIDE. I DON'T WANT TO NORTH SIDE BUT MY FRONT OF MY HOUSE, BUT I'M JUST NOT EVEN GOING TO DISCUSS IT. SO I UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE MONEY HERE IN THE C R A TO SPEND, AND IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, IT APPEARS THAT DRAINAGE AND STOP SIGNS ON CORTEZ ARE THE ONLY THINGS THAT CONSISTENTLY BEING ASKED. SO I KNOW THAT WE CAN GET GRANTS.
TAKE THOSE GRANTS AND USE THEM WHEREVER ELSE YOU GET THE MONEY FOR USING FOR, BUT I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT. YOU COME BACK WITH A STORMWATER PLAN. MINE IS NOT A PUDDLE OVER THE STREET THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY HOUSE THAT WAS BUILT THERE, BUT I KNOW THAT PEOPLE WHO USED TO OWN THAT HOUSE THERE AND IT FLOODED THEN SO, UM THAT IS MY REQUEST THAT WE TAKE CARE OF THE DRAINAGE, SLOW TRAFFIC DOWN ON CORTEZ AND I THINK SOMEBODY'S GOING TO GET KILLED. IT'S CORTEZ AND STATEMENT BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH LANDSCAPING IN THE VIEW SHOW THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT PERSON IS CAROLINE CASTING. MR CAST IN WELCOME, MARI STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD, AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES IS CULLEN CAST AND I LIVE ON FIFTH STREET. YOU GUYS ARE ALL GREAT, AND I DON'T WANT TO BEAT THE DEAD HORSE ABOUT THE SIDEWALK THING, AND I WANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS FROM THE VERY FIRST THIS IS OUR FOURTH MEETING. ACTUALLY I'M NOT OPPOSED TO KIDS PLAYING IN THE STREET. I'M NOT AT THAT AGE WHERE I DON'T WANT TO SIDEWALK. OH IT'S SOLELY JUST BECAUSE THE SIDEWALK HASN'T TRAFFIC IMPACT
[00:40:01]
TO OUR HOUSE. A LOT OF THESE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A RIGHT AWAY TO SOMEBODY CITY. BUT WHEN PEOPLE ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT AS OUR HOME IS ALMOST 100 YEARS OLD , SO A LOT OF THESE HOMES WERE BUILT PRIOR TO ANY OF FOUR THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT THE COMMUNITY IS GONNA BE DOING AS FAR AS STREETS, SIDEWALKS AND ALL THAT. I HAVE A 29 FT YARD. AND THE CURRENT PROPOSITION THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. IS IT 4 FT. GRASS MEDIAN ON, I ASSURE YOU WOULD CAUSE CALL IT AND THEN A 5 FT SIDEWALK, WHICH IS DRASTICALLY LARGER THAN ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD STATEMENTS GOT A MUCH SMALLER SIDEWALKS, SO ARE KIND OF POINT OF CONTENTION IS JUST ASKING. WE PUT IT ON THE NORTH SIDE BECAUSE ITS COMMERCIAL, IT'S CONDUCIVE TO COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC. BRINGING PEOPLE ABOUT I KNOW THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT DISRUPTION, THE PARKING SO FAR WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THAT ANY OF THIS IS LEGAL PERMITTED PARKING AND WE'VE GOT PARKING AS I MENTIONED . I'VE GOT 9 FT BY 29. FT YARD IS GOING TO BE TAKEN BY THIS, SO IT'S GOING TO DRASTICALLY LIMITED MOUNTAIN PARKING THAT WE HAVE YOU START MOVING FURTHER EAST. THE HOUSE NEXT TO ME, HAS AN RV PARK IN THE STREET. WE WENT OUT THERE TAPE MEASURE. THERE'S NO WAY HE'S PARKED IN AN RV THERE. HE'S GOT HIS DAUGHTER AND HIS CAR THAT HIS DAUGHTER PARKS IN FRONT OF THE STREET PARALLEL SO SHE WOULD LOSE HER BARKING. YOU MOVE ONE MORE FURTHER EAST. THAT GENTLEMAN ONLY HAS ONE PARKING SPOT AND HE'S GOT HIS VAN AND IT WOULD HIT THE BACK OF HIS VAN, AND HE'S PARKED UP AGAINST HIS HOUSE. SO WE JUST ASK THAT WE TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.WE'RE NOT. I KNOW SOME OF THE RESIDENTS ARE AGAINST SIDEWALKS. I KNOW SOME OF THEM ARE FORWARD.
WE NEED A PETITION TO 22 RESIDENTS. 19 OF THEM SIGNED OFF, SAYING THAT THEY DON'T WANT IT ON THE SOUTH SIDE AND A LOT OF THEM ARE AGAINST IT ALL TOGETHER. WE JUST ASK THAT GET MOVED TO THE NORTH SIDE. THERE'S ALREADY A SIDEWALK IN BETWEEN BALBO AND AMERICA CURRENTLY AND SO IF WE HAVE TO CREATE SOMETHING WHERE, AS THEY DO IMPROVEMENTS TO THESE AREAS OR BUILD NEW CONSTRUCTION THAT THEY ADD A SIDEWALK AT THAT POINT, WE'RE ON BOARD WITH IT, BUT IT'S JUST WE SEE IT AS A DETRIMENT, AND IT WOULD DRASTICALLY IMPACT OUR RESIDENTIAL LIVING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT? DOING TOWN TRAFFIC STUDY. WE HAVE. WE HAVE DONE A TRAFFIC COUNT ON CORTEZ TO DETERMINE IF TRAFFIC STOP SIGNS WOULD BE, UM WOULD WOULD BE ALLOWED AND IT WAS DETERMINED BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT IT DID NOT QUALIFY FOR EVEN STOP SIGNS. SO STOP SIGNS ARE DESIGNED FOR VOLUME, NOT SPEED QUESTIONS TO THE TRAFFIC WARRANTED, AND IT ONLY WARRANTED TO WASTE. NOT A FOUR WAY STOP. FORGET I'M YOU KNOW. IT'S GETTING LATE, AND I KNOW YOU GUYS WANT TO HAVE YOUR MEETING. BUT DO YOU THINK WE COULD BRING THIS BACK WITH A REAL PLAN AND THEN WE CAN DISCUSS IT AS WELL WITH A REAL PLAN. DEATH THAT'S WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST. I THINK THAT, UM I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE USEFUL FOR STAFF TO BRING THIS BACK TO THE NEXT YEAR MEETING WITH AN UPDATED PLAN, PHASING WITH PHASING IN AND ALSO WITH WITH A MORE PRECISE BUDGET FOR CLARITY ON THE PLAN. I UH, THAT EXTENSION ON CORTEZ TO THE STORMWATER THAT MR CAMPER WAS TALKING ABOUT WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE PLAN. AND THEN ARE YOU ASKING FOR SOME? THERE COULD BE SOME STORMWATER DESIGN DONE. FOR FIFTH STREET THAT WENT TO NOT SURE PICTURE BUT IT COULD GO DIRECTLY EAST POTENTIALLY TO HOSPITAL POND. TO STAY OUT OF THE. PEOPLE TO THE SOUTH. LIKE CUTTING THROUGH PRIVATE PROPERTY. YOU GET THERE. UM AND THEN WE COULD ALSO ADDRESS THE DESIGN THAT HE'S DONE ON THE CORNER OF FIFTH. IN BALBOA. AND THEN, UM ADDRESS THE STOP SIGNS ON FIFTH AND CORTEZ. AND STEP IN AND CORTEZ. AND THEN IS THERE ANY OTHER DIRECTION THAT YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT TO BE INCLUDED? BECAUSE I DON'T CARE SIDEWALKS, SIDEWALKS, RIGHT CRAB SIDEWALKS GONNA SAY. IT SEEMS THAT THEY'RE NOT ONLY DO THEY RIGHT ALONG THE SIDEWALK BECAUSE IT'S SO CLOSE TO THE FRONT YARDS ARE SHORT, BUT THERE'S JUST SO MANY CONSTRAINTS, BUT IS THERE A POSSIBILITY THAT NOT JUST WITH THE FOR WASTE OF SIGNED WITH SOMETHING ELSE? THAT WE COULD DO ANY TYPE OF TRAFFIC COMIN OR LANDSCAPE INTO JUST KIND OF SLOW DOWN THE NEIGHBORHOOD A LITTLE BIT JUST NOT MUCH, BUT JUST SOMETHING. JUST ONE THING BEFORE JOE SPEAKS. I THINK YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A VERY TALENTED ENGINEER FOR THE PAST 35 YEARS. WE'VE GOT ALL TYPES OF STAFF THAT REALLY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. I THINK THEY SHOULD, LIKE PUT TOGETHER A PLAN. AND BRING IT BACK TO THE C, R A OR THE CRB OR THE CITY COMMISSION. SO THAT YOU A DECISION CAN BE MADE. I'M NOT. I WOULDN'T BE READY TO VOTE ON ANY DECISION AT THIS POINT. YOU KNOW
[00:45:03]
TO ASK US TO COME UP WITH? WELL YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE'LL PUT A SIDEWALK HERE AND NOT THERE AND DRAIN ON IT. BUT NOT THAT. I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT TALENTED ENOUGH. I DON'T THINK WE'RE KNOWLEDGEABLE ENOUGH. I DON'T THINK WE KNOW WHAT THINGS COST ENOUGH. SO I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE CITY STAFF. SOME THINGS DO ALL THAT AND THEN BRING A PLAN BACK TO WHEREVER IT NEEDS TO GO SO THAT A DECISION CAN BE MADE. NEW CYCLE. MIKE DO YOU HAVE? DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE ENOUGH UNDERSTANDING OF THE BIG I'M NOT QUITE SURE. DO YOU WANT THE STORM WATER TO BE PRIORITIZED IN THE SIP WITH STORMWATER PROGRAM OR DO YOU WANT THIS TO BE A SEPARATE C R A PROJECT WHERE WE CAN CONTINUE WITH THE DESIGN. I ALREADY HAVE FUNDS FOR THE DESIGN, BUT I DID NOT WANT TO SPEND ANY MORE FUNDING UNTIL I GET DIRECTION FROM THE BOARD THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD, FINISH OUT THE DESIGN AND THEN BUDGET FOR CONSTRUCTION FOR STORMWATER GRANTS SHOULD ALSO BE A PART OF GRANTS WOULD BE PART OF IT. BUT SOMETIMES YOU NEED THE FINAL PLANS IN ORDER TO APPLY FOR GRANTS. STORMWATER WE HAD AN APPROPRIATION FROM THE STATE LAST YEAR THAT WAS CLOSE TO $500,000 THAT WE DIDN'T GET AND SO THAT'S WHAT'S PRIORITIZED RIGHT NOW. AS FAR AS NEXT ON THE LIST, SO YOU KNOW THE BUDGET MEETING WE HAD BEFORE THIS WAS NO ACCIDENT. IT'S UPSIDE DOWN $1.5 MILLION. IT'S NOT FLUSH $1.5 MILLION, SO THERE'S A MENU AND IT'S YOU DON'T GET EVERYTHING YOU GET STUFF. I THINK THEN BETWEEN THE SIERRA AND MYSELF. WE WOULD STILL DO AN EVALUATION ON COST EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CIRCLES AS WELL. TO AT LEAST ANSWER THE QUESTIONS SO THAT WE CAN KNOW WHAT THE COST WOULD BE ANYWAY TO COMPARE THEM FOR THE TRAFFIC CALMING AS IT RELATES TO STOP SIDE BECAUSE IF YOU CAN'T DO STOP SIGNS PEOPLE MIGHT SAY, OKAY, WE WANT SOMETHING AND THEN WE CAN ALSO MOVE FORWARD ON SOME OF THE STORM WATER THROUGH THE C R A IN LIEU OF THE SIDEWALKS AND REDEDICATE THAT SIDEWALK MONEY.TO THAT LIMITED STORMWATER SO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE SOMETHING TO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD FORWARD, AND I THINK AS WELL, IF YOU THIS IS THE PERFECT GRANT SMALL GRANT FOR I R L C YEAH. SO THAT'S THAT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT GOES WELL, SEE, WE HAVE LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON. NOW I THINK WE HAVE DIRECTION. WE HAVE ONE MORE ITEM THAT WE NEED TO GET THROUGH. SO WE GET TO THE SIERRA
[4. UPDATE TO EAST STUART MASTER PLAN (RC): RESOLUTION No. 09-2023 CRA; A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA, APPOVING AN UPDATE TO THE EAST STUART MASTER PLAN; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.]
SIERRA CITY COMMISSIONER. GOTTA GET MY CUSTOMERS BY ACTING HIMSELF. SO LET'S MOVE ON THE ITEM NUMBER FOUR, THE UPDATE THE STEWARD MASTER PLAN AND SO THAT WE CAN MOVE QUICKLY. WE CANNOT GET YOUR MEETING. THANK YOU ALL FOR TAKING YOUR EVENINGS TO BE HERE AND SPEAK UP YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. I'M GOING TO HAVE JESSE SEYMOUR GIVE PRESENTATION ON THIS. HI JESSICA SEYMOUR FROM TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL. FOR THE RECORD. I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. FOR THE SAKE OF TIME. YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH WHO? TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL IS WE'RE ONE OF THE 10 PLANNING COUNCILS AND WE ASSIST CITY STAFF. WHENEVER WE'RE ASKED WERE LOCATED HERE IN STUART. AS MANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH, UM, WE WORKED WITH THE C, R A AND THE DEVELOPMENT STAFF TO UPDATE THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE IN E.STEWART HAD BEEN SOME TIME SINCE THAT HAD BEEN UPDATED, AND THAT WAS ADOPTED IN FEBRUARY OF 2023 . AS PART OF THAT WORK, WE ALSO LOOKED AT THE MASTER PLAN. EAST STEWART IS A UNIQUE COMMUNITY THAT HAD AND EXISTING MASS CITIZENS MASTER PLAN. AND WE FELT IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO UPDATE THAT PLAN AS PART OF OUR WORK, UM, THAT INFORMED THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. IT ALSO HELPS TO IDENTIFY PRIORITIES FOR CITY AND SIERRA INVESTMENT AND INSPIRE THE PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS TO DEVELOP IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY VISION. IT ALLOWS US A CHANCE TO KIND OF BENCHMARK. WHAT THE COMMUNITY LOOKS LIKE TODAY. SO THAT 20 YEARS FROM NOW WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AND SEE WHAT MEASURES OF SUCCESS THERE ARE. WE TOOK A LOOK AT VACANCY OWNERSHIP PATTERNS, AND THAT IS ALL PART OF THE DOCUMENT. WE ALSO WANTED TO REFLECT BACK WHAT WORK HAS BEEN DONE ANY STEWART WELL, WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED AND REFLECT THOSE BACK AND REFLECTS BACK UPDATED PRIORITIES . WE DID A COMMUNITY WALKING TOUR WE HOPED HOSTED A VISION WORKSHOP. WE SENT OUT WE PARTICIPATE WITH US SCORECARDS FOR EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY COULD FILL OUT. AND THIS IS THE END DOCUMENT THAT WE'RE BRINGING FORWARD. THIS IS LIKE SHOWING OUR WORK FOR ALL THE WORK. WE DID A FEW YEARS BACK. WE IDENTIFIED 20 PROJECTS. I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THE DOCUMENT IS ASSEMBLED. THERE'S 20 PRIORITIES THAT HAVE
[00:50:04]
BEEN IDENTIFIED. THEY'RE LABELED HERE ON THE MAP, AND THEY'RE IDENTIFIED WITH A NUMBER.THEY'RE ON THE LIST AND THEN INSIDE THE DOCUMENT, THE SAME NUMBER CORRESPONDS WITH WHERE IT IS AND IN THE MASTER PLAN, UM, AGAIN, UH AND THEN AGAIN IN THE IMPLEMENTATION SECTION, THE COLOR CORRESPONDS WITH HOW HOW MUCH PROGRESS HAS BEEN ACHIEVED WITHIN THAT SUBJECT. SO THE DARKER THE GREEN, THE MORE THAT THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED OR THAT IT'S IN PROGRESS. UM THESE ARE THE 20 ITEMS AND AGAIN WE'RE TODAY WE'RE REQUESTING THAT THESE MASTER PLAN B, UH, BROUGHT IN BY RESOLUTION AS A WORKING DOCUMENT FOR THE C R A. THIS IS LIKE A GUIDING, UM, ROADMAP FOR THE WORK AHEAD IN EAST STEWART. UM, LIKE ALL ROADMAPS ON A FAMILY VACATION. YOU MAKE THE BEST PLANS, BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO PIVOT AND BE FLEXIBLE. SO BUT WITHOUT THAT PLAN, YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET ANYWHERE. YOU'RE NOT GONNA YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SET FOOT, UM INTO A NEW PLACE OR A NEW EXPERIENCE. SO THIS IS THAT ROADMAP THERE WAS MENTIONED ONE OF THE PROJECTS THAT REQUIRED SOME UPDATING WAS THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE ALONG BY THE YOU THAT IN THE ORIGINAL MASTER PLAN CALLED FOR A CONNECTED ROADWAY NETWORK IN TALKING TO CITIZENS IN EAST STEWART AND SOME OF WHICH ON THE STATEMENT. NEIGHBORHOOD ALSO GOT NOTIFICATIONS FROM US IN THIS PROCESS. THEY SAID. WE DON'T WANT A ROAD. WE ALSO LEARNED FROM THE EXPERIENCE IN 2015. THEY DIDN'T WANT TO ROAD SO THAT VISION HAS BEEN UPDATED TO ILLUSTRATE A CONNECTED PEDESTRIAN PATH SO THAT THE VEHICULAR IMPACTS ARE NOT FELT THE SAME WAY. UM SIMILARLY, ALONG THE SAME LINES THAT PREVIOUS MASTER PLAN ILLUSTRATED A CONNECTED STREET BOA. WELL TODAY WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL POCKET PARK HERE IS AN EX CONCEPT FOR EXTENDING THAT POCKET PARKS SO THAT IT'S MORE RELEVANT TO WHAT THE VISION IS TODAY. WE WANTED TO REFLECT BACK EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN PLANNED AND IS IN THE WORKS FOR GUY DAVIS. THOSE THINGS WERE NOT IN THAT CHARETTE PLAN FROM 2003. SO THESE THINGS ARE HERE. THE COMMUNITY CENTERS STILL AN IMPORTANT PRIORITIES. WE MADE SURE TO UPDATE THAT. WE MADE SURE TO UPDATE IT WITH SOME REFERENCES TO WHAT THE PROGRAMMING IS IN THAT BUILDING TODAY AND HOW IT'S EVOLVED THE IMPORTANCE OF SENIOR PROGRAMMING. AND THE YOUTH PROGRAMMING INTO THAT FACILITY AND LANGUAGE IN THEIR PRIORITIZING THAT WE ALSO TOOK A LOOK AT SOME OF THE EXISTING STREETS AND HOW THAT SPACE CAN BE REALITY. HATED TO MAKE MORE ROOM FOR AMENITIES AND AGAIN, EACH ONE OF THESE CONCEPTS IS THE FIRST PASS AND WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE COMMUNITY AND EACH ONE OF THESE PROJECTS WOULD REQUIRE ITS OWN OUTREACH. ITS OWN EXTENSIVE, UM NEIGHBORHOOD OUTREACH ONCE IT BECAME A PRIORITY WITHIN THE CR RIGHT FOR IMPLEMENTATION. UM AGAIN REFLECTING BACK ML KEY. MM. OKAY THIS IS WHAT'S IN THE WORKS NOW TALKING ABOUT ALLEYS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF ALLEYS IN A WAY TO EVALUATE EXISTING ALLEYS IN EAST STEWART, SOME OF WHICH ARE GOOD CANDIDATES FOR IMPROVEMENTS. SOME OF THEM MAY NOT BE SO THIS IS A TOOL FOR THE CITY STAFF TO BE USING UM, AND FOR PROPERTY OWNERS. WE MENTIONED THAT THE MAINTENANCE FACILITY THAT'S STILL SOMETHING THAT'S BEING TALKED ABOUT SO BUT WE ALSO WANTED TO REFLECT BACK THAT PHASE. ONE OF THE HOUSE RECOMMENDATIONS WERE ACTUALLY ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTED AS AN UPDATE TO THE PLAN. WE GOT SOME FEEDBACK ABOUT VISIONING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY FROM BOARD MEMBERS RAW AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT WHEN WE SHOW ILLUSTRATIONS OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN ON THE PRIVATE PROPERTY THAT'S MEANT TO INSPIRE. IT'S NOT. THE CODE IS NOT MEANT TO BE THE CODE, BUT IT'S A WAY OF TESTING FOR US TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE, UM CODED AND THE VISION IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE IMPLEMENTED. UM WE AGAIN , UM MCCARTHY BUILDING. THIS IS NOT HERE ANY ANY LONGER, BUT IT'S STILL AN IMPORTANT EXAMPLE OF HOW COMMERCIAL CAN EXIST WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND IT'S STILL A LOVELY EXAMPLE OF THE HISTORY AND SO WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE THAT. SO IT'S MEMORIALIZED IN THIS REPORT AND BROUGHT ATTENTION TO THAT. UM EXAMPLES OF HOW CHANGE COULD HAPPEN OVER TIME WHILE STILL MAINTAINING EXISTING USES AND STRUCTURES AGAIN. ANOTHER PRIVATE PROPERTY EXAMPLE. WE AWESOME, UM, UPDATED SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE STUART HOUSING AUTHORITY, ENCOURAGING THE THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS TO GO OUT AND SEEK GRANTS FOR IMPROVING THOSE PROPERTIES.
THERE'S MORE FEDERAL DOLLARS OUT THERE TODAY THAN THERE WERE 20 YEARS AGO TO HELP IMPROVE THOSE SITES MAKE THEM MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT AND THEN IN THE PROCESS COULD ALSO MAKE THEM MORE RESILIENT AND MORE BEAUTIFUL. WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT BUDGET AND FUNDING TODAY. SO BESIDES THE C R A, UM WE PROVIDED A LIST OF FUNDING SOURCES THAT THE SIERRA AND THE CITY CAN GO THROUGH TO HELP IMPLEMENT SOME OF THESE PROJECTS, INCLUDING HISTORIC
[00:55:02]
PRESERVATION GRANTS. THE CITY SIERRA ARE BOTH IN THE PROCESS OF ESTABLISHING E STEWART AS A HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH HELPS TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM WHAT GRANT FUNDING US TRANSPORTATION AND STORMWATER IMPROVEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH ALL THESE STREETS. IMPROVEMENTS ALSO POTENTIAL RESOURCES. UM AND THEN WE ALSO ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS WE HEARD IS THAT WE WANT TO PRESERVE THE HOUSING THAT'S THERE. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP THEIR HOMES IMPROVE THEIR HOMES. SO WE ALSO INCLUDED A REFERENCE LIST OF SOME OF THE FUNDING SOURCES THAT ARE OUT THERE TODAY FOR EXISTING HOMES AND INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. UM AND AGAIN, I WENT THROUGH THAT REALLY FAST. I'M HOPING THAT HELPED ME MAKE UP SOME TIME FOR TODAY. UM PLEASE, LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT ME TO GO BACK TO ANY, UM ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY OF THOSE PARTICULAR PROJECTS? WHAT? YOUTUBE PROVEN TO ADOPT THE MASTER HERE.THERE'S A RESOLUTION SO YOU CAN IMPROVE THE RESOLUTION. 09-2023 . COMEDY JUST I WOULD LIKE TO HOPEFULLY, MAKER MOTION, BUT I KNOW THAT THEY'RE NOT MANY PEOPLE HERE FROM THE STEWART TODAY, AND I KNOW THAT THEY'VE HAD EASTER TO START MEETING. WHAT WE'VE WORKED HARD ON THIS, AND I APPRECIATE THE WORK OF THE REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL GOING FORWARD, BUT WE DO HAVE A PLAN THAT WAS FROM 2003 THAT WENT THROUGH TO THE CODE. AND THE CODE. I SEE AS BEING DIFFERENT FROM UM. VISION EVEN THOUGH THE COURT CONTAINS VISION, BUT I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME MORE VISION ALONG WITH THE CODE. PRECEPTS IN IT. SO I'M THINKING ABOUT I DON'T MAYBE THAT WE CAN ADOPT THIS AND MOVE FORWARD BUT REALLY, TRULY HAVING A CHARADE FOR EAST STEWART REALLY WORK ON SOME THINGS THAT THEY'RE LACKING IN ORDER TO GET THE CODE TO BE IMPLEMENTED BECAUSE A LOT OF THOSE YOU MENTIONED THE MCCARTHY BUILDING. IT'S NOT THERE NOW. AND I THINK THAT THEY NEED SOME WORK AND GUIDANCE TO GET THIS REALLY TO WORK WITH THE CODE. UM I THINK THAT THAT'S UM THAT'S A REALLY INTERESTING COMMENT BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S OTHER PROGRAMS AND IT MAY NOT JUST BE ABOUT VISIONING IT MAYBE SOME WORK IN, UM THE SOME OF THE OTHER PROGRAMS THAT THE CRE ALREADY HAS, LIKE DESIGN ASSISTANCE, AND MAYBE GETTING THE WORD OUT ABOUT SOME OF THE DESIGN ASSISTANCE THAT'S AVAILABLE ALREADY THROUGH THE SIERRA. IT MAY ALSO BE SOME STORIES ABOUT, UM, CLARIFYING OWNERSHIP PATTERNS WITHIN THE C, R A AND SO WITHIN THE EASTERN NEIGHBORHOOD AND THOSE TYPES OF WORKSHOPS MAY MAYBE A DIRECTION TO HELP. GET THE ADOPTION THE WORD OUT ABOUT THE ADOPTION OF THE CODE AND THE ADVANTAGES OF STATION IMPLEMENTING THOSE EXACTLY. I'LL MAKE A MOTION. ARE YOU MAKING EMOTION, CAMPBELL NO. NO, WE HAVEN'T. WE HAVE 100 MOTION. I'LL MAKE A MOTION. THAT WE ADOPT THIS, UM IS TO MASTER PLAN. AS PRESENTED, BUT I REALLY , UM UH, CAUTION OR STAFF. MISS MISS JODY, MISS? UM WHAT'S MR ORDERS? LAST NAME? THAT. OH, THERE. WHAT'S THE NEW NAME? OH NO, I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONES THE NEW GOOGLE KUGLER. OKAY TO REALLY IN ORDER TO IMPLEMENT THIS AS A DEVELOPMENT CALLED IN THE EASTWARD AREA, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME UP WITH SOME PLANNING TECHNIQUES TO GET THE PEOPLE WHO OWN LAND THERE ARE GOING TO BE DEVELOPING TO REALLY GET THIS INTO IMPLEMENTATION PHASE. AND THAT MAY REQUIRE DOING ASSURANCE OF SOME KIND OR SOMETHING ELSE, BUT WE CAN'T HAVE THIS PLAN AS A MASTER PLAN AND NOT HAVE SOME PLANS AND SOME WAYS FOR OUR UM, PLANNING DEPARTMENT BUILDING DEPARTMENT, WHATEVER IT IS TO WORK WITH THIS COMMUNITY TO GET SOME THINGS IMPLEMENTED. AND WORKING WITH THE LANDOWNERS WHO HAVE BEEN BEGGING AND WANTING TO DO SOMETHING, BUT THEY NEED TO. WE NEED SOME GUIDANCE AND SOME HELP. SECOND, THAT ONE SUGGESTION. WE'VE HAD A NICKEL T. PRESENTATION. TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. NOT. OKAY, PLAN. LAST YEAR, RIGHT? WE'RE IN THE FINAL DESIGN PHASE RIGHT NOW. YOU DON'T KNOW THE ORIGINAL 2003. 1000. THAT'S A FUNNY HERE. OLD
[01:00:08]
PLAN? YEAH TO HAVE A MOST PEOPLE. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. AND I THINK I AGREE. WE SHOULD ADOPT THE PLAN, BUT I'M STAYING. CERTAIN ELEMENTS OF THIS PLAN. NEED TO HAVE WORDLESS. YES THIS NEIGHBORHOOD OPPOSITION AND I DON'T HAVE THE OPPOSITION. ESPECIALLY. WELL IT IS A NEW PLAN. THE PLAN WAS JUST DEVELOPED. IT'S IN THE MASTER PLAN, BUT THE ACTUAL DESIGN WAS DEVELOPED JUST TWO YEARS AGO, AND IN THE FINAL DESIGN PHASE, WE HAVE BEEN MEETING WITH PROPERTY OWNERS AND SOME OF THE RESIDENTS ON SITE, SO WE ARE GETTING SOME RIGHT AND WE ARE GETTING SOME CONSENSUS NOW, SO IT'S A WORKING PROGRESS. MY SECOND STANCE, SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY BOARD MEMBERS, CLARK WORD MEMBERS FROM PANTY. DO YOU HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? MCDONNELL I'M SORRY. THIS IS RESOLUTION NUMBER 09 TO 0 TO 3 TO C R A RESOLUTION OF THE BORDER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA, PROVING AN UPDATE TO THE EAST STEWART MASTER PLAN PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS SEVERABILITY.
