[2. SEACOAST BANK HEADQUARTERS MAJOR CONDITIONAL USE & MAJOR SITE PLAN LOCATED AT 815 S. COLORADO AVENUE (QJ)(RC): RESOLUTION No. 85-2025; A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA, GRANTING A MAJOR CREEK DISTRICT CODE CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL AND MAJOR DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE SEACOAST BANK HEADQUARTERS PROJECT LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF COLORADO AVENUE AND KINDRED STREET; GRANTING APPROVAL TO CONSTRUCT AN APPROXIMATELY 58,647 SQUARE FOOT THREE-STORY HEADQUARTERS OFFICE BUILDING WITH DRIVE-THRU BANK TELLER LANES AND DRIVE-THRU ATM, A DETACHED 90,762 SQUARE FOOT THREE-STORY PRIVATE PARKING GARAGE, AND MAINTAIN THE EXISTING OUTBUILDING STRUCTURES OUTSIDE THE REDEVELOPMENT AFFECTED AREA; REQUIRING SPECIFIC POLICIES TO BE CONSIDERED INCLUDING PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; PROVIDING FOR A_ TIMETABLE OF DEVELOPMENT; PROVIDING FOR CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.]

SO BUT I'M GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT JUST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL ON TRACK OF WHAT'S GOING ON. SO SO WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE IS, IS IT'S GOING TO BE A KIND OF A QUASI JUDICIAL TYPE OF PROGRAM, WHICH MEANS, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD SWEAR IN WITNESSES AND THAT TYPE OF

[00:05:04]

THE THE PROPOSAL THAT'S BEFORE US IS A IS A REDEVELOPMENT. IT'S NOT A DEVELOPMENT. IT'S A REDEVELOPMENT. SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND. THAT'S WHY THIS IS COMING FORWARD, IS THEY WERE MAKING CHANGES AS A RESULT OF THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THEIR PROPERTY.

SO ANYWAY, SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS, FIRST OF ALL, ASK THE THE BOARD MEMBERS HERE ABOUT THEIR COMMUNICATIONS WITH, WITH OTHERS AND WHAT I'M GOING TO START, EVEN THOUGH TECHNICALLY I WOULD NORMALLY GO LAST, I'M GOING TO START KIND OF GIVE THE BOARD MEMBERS AN IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR AS TO WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS. SO, SO THE TYPICALLY, I'M GOING TO ASK YOU, EACH BOARD MEMBER TO. LET ME KNOW IF THEY'VE HAD ANY EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS. THAT'S THAT'S NOT A BAD THING. IT'S JUST JUST COMMUNICATIONS. ALRIGHT. SO HAVE YOU HAD ANY KIND OF COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE PUBLIC, WITH THE APPLICANT, WITH THE STAFF IN TERMS OF THIS, THIS PROJECT? AND AGAIN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY WHO, YOU JUST HAVE TO INDICATE WHETHER YOU'VE HAD ANY OF THAT CONTACT. I HAVE HAD CONTACT WITH THE STAFF WITH OUTSIDE PARTIES IN THE COMMUNITY AND WITH THE APPLICANT. SO JUST THAT JUST SO THAT WE KNOW. BUT I COME TO THIS MEETING WITH AN OPEN MIND, BRET. NO, I HAVE NOT HAD CONTACT WITH ANYBODY, THE PUBLIC OR THE APPLICANT AT THIS TIME. OKAY. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY CONTACT. ALL RIGHT. I MET WITH THE APPLICANT LAST WEEK TO REVIEW THE PROJECT. YES. I AS WELL MET WITH THE APPLICANT.

OKAY. AND I MET WITH THE APPLICANT TO GO OVER THE REDEVELOPMENT. AND I'VE ONLY HAD CONTACT WITH THE PUBLIC RELATED TO THIS PROJECT. OKAY. AND I'D ASK ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS ONCE MORE JUST TO. AND YOU'RE ALL HERE WITH AN OPEN MIND AND NOBODY IS. OKAY. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S CLEAR THAT EVERYBODY'S HERE. ALRIGHT. AT THIS POINT. THEN WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS ANYBODY WHO'S GOING TO BE GIVING TESTIMONY, I WOULD ASK IF OUR CITY ATTORNEY COULD COULD SWEAR THOSE THOSE INDIVIDUALS IN. I WANT TO MAKE A BRIEF STATEMENT TO THAT. IN A QUASI JUDICIAL HEARING, THE BOARD STEPS OUTSIDE OF ITS NORMAL LEGISLATIVE AND ADMINISTRATIVE CAPACITY AND ROLE, AND INSTEAD STEPS INTO A JUDICIAL CAPACITY. THE BOARD WILL BE MAKING A DETERMINATION BY APPLYING EXISTING LAWS, ORDINANCES AND REGULATIONS TO THE FACTS PRESENTED TO THE BOARD. EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE OFFICIALLY ENTERED INTO THE RECORD, AND TESTIMONY NEEDS TO BE UNDER OATH, AND THE BOARD MEMBERS ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE ANY EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS PRIOR TO THIS HEARING STARTING, WHICH WE ALREADY HAVE. WELL, I THINK ALL POTENTIAL WITNESSES ARE STANDING. YOU'LL RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. DO YOU AFFIRM THAT THE TESTIMONY THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO PROVIDE IN THIS HEARING WILL BE THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, SO HELP YOU GOD? ALRIGHT. OKAY. AND AS YOU'RE YOU'VE BEEN SWORN IN, AS YOU GIVE TESTIMONY, PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. SO WE'LL HAVE THAT.

ALRIGHT. LET'S SEE STARTING OUT WITH IF, IF WE COULD HAVE JODY GIVE US THE, YOU KNOW, PRESENTATION, I THINK SHE'S, SHE'S PREPARED TO PRESENT HER TESTIMONY OR, OR THE INFORMATION FROM THE STAFF. SO WE KNOW WHAT THE STAFF'S POSITION IS. I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT AT THIS POINT. OKAY. ARE YOU READY? OKAY. GO AHEAD. GOOD EVENING, BOARD MEMBERS. FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS JODY KUGLER. I'M THE DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF STUART. TONIGHT I'LL PRESENT THE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER TWO FOR A MAJOR CONDITIONAL USE PETITION AND A CONCURRENT MAJOR DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPLICATION FOR A PROJECT TO BE KNOWN AS SEACOAST BANK HEADQUARTERS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS OUTLINED UNDER SECTION 11.02 .05 OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, THE APPLICANT MAILED 30 LETTERS TO ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS LOCATED WITHIN 300FT OF THE SUBJECT PARCEL, PROVIDING DETAILS OF THE REQUESTED DEVELOPMENT AND THE DATE AND TIME OF TONIGHT'S MEETING.

ADDITIONALLY, THREE SIGNS WERE POSTED ON THE PROPERTY ALONG US ONE SOUTH COLORADO AVENUE AND KENDRICK STREET WITH THE SAME INFORMATION. THE 8.13 ACRE SUBJECT PARCEL IS LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF SOUTH COLORADO AVENUE AND KENDRICK STREET. THE PARCEL IS SITUATED WITHIN THE CREEK DISTRICT OVERLAY AND IS ZONED CREEK SOUTH WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION, AND IS LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY'S COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT

[00:10:05]

[00:15:02]

FOLLOWING THE COMPLETION OF THE NEW HEADQUARTERS BUILDING, THE EXISTING MAIN OFFICE BUILDING, WHICH INCLUDES THE BANK BRANCH LOCATION, WILL BE DEMOLISHED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROPOSED PARKING STRUCTURE. THE EXISTING DRIVEWAYS ALONG SOUTH COLORADO STREET, HUDSON COURT AND JOHNSON AVENUE WILL REMAIN. THE PARKING GARAGE ENTRANCE IS LOCATED AT THE FRONT DRIVEWAY ALONG SOUTH COLORADO, TRAVELING NORTH AND AN EXISTING ONE WAY OUT OF THE PARKING PARKING GARAGE AT THE SECOND ENTRANCE, TRAVELING NORTH. IF YOU CAN SEE THAT IN RED, THERE'S ONE WAY IN ONE WAY OUT ALONG COLORADO. THIS WILL HELP WITH SOME OF THE THE TRAFFIC CONGESTION.

ASSOCIATED SITE IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE LANDSCAPING, PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS, REFUGE COLLECTIONS, STORMWATER AND UTILITIES IMPROVEMENTS, PUBLIC ART, ON SITE LIGHTING, INSTALLATION OF BIKE RACKS. THIS JUST GIVES YOU A LITTLE BIT OF DETAIL OF THE BUILDING TYPE. THE BANK. THE PROPOSED BANK BUILDING IS GOING TO BE 44FT HIGH THREE STORIES, AND THE GARAGE IS GOING TO BE ABOUT 25.3 AND CONSIST OF THREE STORIES. FOUR STORIES IS THE MAXIMUM IN THIS AREA. THE EXISTING BUILDINGS THAT'S IN THE UNAFFECTED DEVELOPMENT AREA, OR WHAT WE CALL PHASE TWO, IS 25FT. AND THE EXISTING DRIVE THROUGH BUILDING THAT'S IN AN UNAFFECTED AREA OR REDEVELOPMENT AREA IS 15FT. THIS JUST GIVES YOU A LITTLE BIT OF A PARKING TABLE. THERE'S 195 PARKING SPACES REQUIRED. THEY PROVIDED 260 SPACES WITH SEVEN HANDICAPPED SPACES. THEY ALSO HAVE PROVIDED BIKE RACKS. THIS IS A PROPOSED HEADQUARTERS BUILDING ELEVATION FACING US ONE THE APPLICANT PROPOSING AN ALUMINUM WINDOW WALL SYSTEM WITH BLUE TINT, GLAZING AND WINDOW FRAMES TO BE GRAY. THE EXTERIOR ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS INCLUDE LONG, LONG BOARD, ITALIAN ROSEWOOD GRAIN FINISH AND A METAL SCREENING. THE PRIMARY BUILDING, FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR, INCORPORATES PRECAST WALLS WITH WOOD CLADDING PILLARS ATTACHED TO THE BLUE GLASS GLAZING THAT WRAPS AROUND THE ENTIRE THIRD FLOOR. AND THIS IS THE ELEVATION THAT YOU WOULD SEE ALONG COLORADO AVENUE. THIS IS PROPOSED. THIS WILL BE THE SAME MATERIALS AS THE FRONT FACADE. THIS IS THE PROPOSED PLAZA AREA, WHICH IS LOCATED BETWEEN THE REAR OF THE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING AND THE PRIVATE PARKING GARAGE. THE PLAZA CONSISTS OF PEDESTRIAN WALKWAYS, BENCHES, LARGE SHADE TREES, AND ARTWORK. THIS AREA CAN BE UTILIZED BY THE PUBLIC, INCLUDING CUSTOMERS AND EMPLOYEES. AND THIS IS AN ELEVATION OF. THE DETACHED PRIVATE PARKING GARAGE WILL BE CONSTRUCTED WITH THE SAME PRECAST WALLS AND OPEN SPACE FOR EACH FLOOR. THE BUILDING WILL INCLUDE THE BLUE TURQUOISE WAVE ALONG THE FRONTAGE AND ALL SIDES VISIBLE TO THE PUBLIC VIEW. THE PARKING GARAGE WILL INCLUDE PLANTERS AND A WIDE VARIETY OF LANDSCAPE MATERIALS TO SOFTEN THE HORIZONTAL FACADE.

THE APPLICANT ALSO PROVIDED A MAJOR AS A PART OF THE MAJOR. I'M SORRY THIS IS. STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE MAJOR DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND FOUND THAT THE DEVELOPMENT COMPLIES WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. ALL TREE MITIGATION WILL BE ON SITE, INCLUDING PRESERVING AN EXISTING OAK TREE AND A BANYAN TREE. THE LANDSCAPING WILL WILL CONSIST OF A VARIETY OF SHADE TREES, WHICH INCLUDES, BUT NOT LIMITED TO 14 GUMBO LIMBO TREES, SILVER BUTTONWOODS AND 20 SOUTHERN LIVE OAKS. ALL TREES WILL BE PLANTED WITH A ROOT BARRIER SYSTEM AND IRRIGATED. THE APPLICANT ALSO PROVIDED A MASTER SIGN PROGRAM THAT WILL ENHANCE THE OVERALL BUILDING. ARCHITECTURAL INCORPORATES A GATEWAY SIGN FOR THE HISTORICAL DOWNTOWN DISTRICT ALONG COLORADO. AND REVIEWING THESE APPLICATIONS, STAFF HAS DETERMINED THEY COMPLY WITH THE STANDARDS OF REVIEW SET FORTH IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION 3.0, 4.00 AND 3.01.06, AND WERE FOUND TO BE CONSISTENT

[00:20:03]

QUALITATIVE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.00.04. THESE PETITIONS COMPLY WITH THE STANDARDS OF REVIEW SET FORTH IN THE DEVELOPMENT CODE, SECTION 3.04.00. THE CREEK DISTRICT CONDITIONAL USE REQUIREMENT IS FOUND TO BE CONSISTENT AGAIN WITH THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND THE POLICIES OF THE CITY OF STEWART.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN STAFF RECOMMENDS THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT BOARD FOR A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COMMISSION FOR APPROVAL OF THE SEACOAST BANK HEADQUARTERS, MAJOR CONDITIONAL USE AND MAJOR DEVELOPMENT PLAN VIA RESOLUTION 85. DASH 2025. THIS DOES CONCLUDE STAFF PRESENTATION. THE APPLICANT IS ALSO PRESENT AND HAS A PRESENTATION AS WELL.

OKAY. THANKS, JODY. APPRECIATE IT. THE APPLICANT, IF THEY WANT TO RUN THROUGH THEIR PRESENTATION THIS TIME, WELCOME TO SEE WHAT THEY GOT. AND IF THERE'S SOME THINGS THERE THAT YOU WANT TO ADD TO IT LET US KNOW. JUST LET US KNOW. ABSOLUTELY. GOOD AFTERNOON. FOR THE RECORD, GEORGE MISSIMER WITH KOTLIN HEARING AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN, I'D LIKE TO THANK JODY FOR HER PRESENTATION AND ALL THE WORK THAT SHE DID ON THE PROJECT. I DON'T HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON HER PRESENTATION, AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK YOU AS THE BOARD FOR BEING HERE TODAY AND THE SERVICE THAT YOU DO TO THE COMMUNITY TO BE HERE AND AND SIT IN ON THESE MEETINGS. SO WE REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF BEFORE I BRING TRACY UP HERE TO TALK ABOUT SEACOAST BANK A LITTLE BIT, TRACY DEXTER, THE SEACOAST BANK WAS BORN AND RAISED HERE IN STUART. BRING MY FAMILY HERE ALMOST EVERY WEEKEND DOWNTOWN, WALKING THROUGH THE PARKS AND DOWN BY THE RIVERWALK. SO TO BE PART OF THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN REALLY SPECIAL FOR ME. GROWING UP IN THE AREA. OUR FIRST BANK ACCOUNT WAS OPENED AT SEACOAST WHEN I WAS A KID, SO I THINK THAT'S A COMMON THEME AMONG A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WERE BORN AND RAISED HERE IN STUART. SO REALLY A FULL CIRCLE MOMENT FOR ME, AND IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH THE GREAT TEAM ON THIS PROJECT. SO OUR TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS THAT WORKED HERE, OBVIOUSLY THE OWNER AND APPLICANT, SEACOAST NATIONAL BANK AND OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE BANK, ZAMBONI COMPANIES, RICHARD AND LORI ARE BOTH HERE THIS AFTERNOON, MYSELF, GEORGE, MISTER WITH CUTLER AND HEARING WE WERE THE AGENTS AND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS FOR THE PROJECT. OUR ARCHITECT, BAKER BARRIOS. WE DO HAVE MR. WAYNE HERE ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE PRESENTATION. OUR CIVIL ENGINEER WAS CAPTECH ENGINEERING. JOE CAPRA IS ALSO HERE TODAY. AND THEN OUR TRAFFIC CONSULTANT, MACKENZIE ENGINEERING AND PLANNING. AND SEAN IS ALSO HERE WITH US. SO FULL TEAM HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. SO JODY WENT OVER IT. WE HAVE TWO ITEMS HERE WHICH I BELIEVE YOU GOT TO VOTE ON BOTH OF THEM. WE HAVE OUR MAJOR DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND OUR CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION.

AND THAT CONDITIONAL USE COMPRISES THE GARAGE AS WELL AS THREE MINOR DEVIATIONS. WE'RE CONSIDERING MINOR DEVIATIONS TO THE CREEK DISTRICT CODE. MISS JODY MENTIONED. IT'S A RELATIVELY NEW CODE. IT'S ONLY BEEN ONE OTHER PROJECT THAT'S COME THROUGH THE CITY UTILIZING THAT CODE. SO WITH A LARGE SCALE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT SUCH AS THIS, IT'S INEVITABLE THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME TYPE OF DEVIATION. IT'S VERY COMMON IN OUR PRACTICE.

DIFFERENT MUNICIPALITIES CALL THEM DIFFERENT THINGS. SOMETIMES THEY'RE CALLED ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE WAIVERS. THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT TERMINOLOGY FOR IT. PROJECT LOCATION. I THINK WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH IT LOCATED OFF US ONE IN COLORADO. IN REFERENCE TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY. AND THEN JUST A BRIEF NOTE, AS TRACY IS GOING TO GO INTO THE HISTORY A LITTLE BIT MORE, BUT WE ARE A STONE'S THROW AWAY FROM THE ORIGINAL 1933 LOCATION. SO, I MEAN, THE LEGACY THAT SEACOAST HAS IN THE COMMUNITY IS, IS INCREDIBLE. SO WITH THAT, I'LL BRING UP TRACY DEXTER, AND SHE CAN RUN THROUGH THE HISTORY AND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BANK FOR YOU, AND THEN I'LL COME BACK AND GO OVER THE PROJECT A LITTLE BIT MORE. GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE. MY NAME IS TRACY DEXTER. I'M THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AT SEACOAST BANK. I'VE LIVED AND WORKED IN STUART FOR THE PAST EIGHT YEARS. WE'RE JUST VERY APPRECIATIVE OF YOUR TIME TODAY. THANKS TO EACH OF YOU FOR BEING HERE AND FOR THE WORK THAT YOU DO TO TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES. WE'RE EXCITED TO SHARE OUR PLANS WITH YOU SO I CAN FIGURE OUT HOW THAT WORKS.

THERE WE GO. SO A LOT OF YOU ARE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH THE HISTORY OF SEACOAST IN THE COMMUNITY. SEACOAST HISTORY REALLY IS WOVEN INTO THE VERY FABRIC OF STUART'S STORY. AS WE

[00:25:04]

[00:30:03]

AND SO JUST GOING TO WRAP UP AND TURN IT OVER TO GEORGE HERE FOR THE DETAILS OF THE PROJECT.

BUT WE CERTAINLY RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE HEADQUARTERS REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT. WE REALLY BELIEVE THAT OUR REDEVELOPMENT AND OUR OUR COMMITMENT HERE, THIS WILL AMPLIFY OUR POSITIVE FINANCIAL IMPACT AND OUR SOCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS, REALLY REAFFIRM SEACOAST COMMITMENT TO THE STUART'S FUTURE. SO YOUR SUPPORT WILL STRENGTHEN OUR PARTNERSHIPS AND CONTINUE OUR LEGACY AS A DEDICATED STAKEHOLDER. REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, GEORGE WILL GET TO THE DETAILS OF THE BEAUTIFUL PROJECT, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS AND JUST WORKING TOGETHER TO GET IT DONE. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANKS, TRACY. ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, WE'LL GET INTO THE DETAILS. WE'LL START WITH SOME PRETTY PICTURES. SO THIS IS THE VIEW FROM THE SOUTHWEST CORNER. SO THIS IS THE INTERSECTION OF US ONE IN COLORADO. YOU'LL NOTE THAT THERE'S A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S NOT BEING SHOWN A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO DRAW THAT IN. AND IT WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY DISTRACT FROM THE BEAUTIFUL BUILDING THAT WE DESIGNED AND THE LANDSCAPE. BUT I'LL CLICK THROUGH A COUPLE OF THESE SLIDES. JUST BRING YOU BACK INTO, YOU KNOW, HOW BEAUTIFUL AND SPECTACULAR THIS BUILDING IS AND SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. AGAIN, THE WAY THAT THE CREEK DISTRICT CODE IS WRITTEN, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS THAT WE'RE REQUIRED TO MEET. AND SOME OF THOSE, YOU KNOW, INCLUDE BUILDING PLACEMENT, YOU KNOW, HEIGHT, ARCHITECTURAL STYLE, POSITIONING OF PARKING, EVEN FRONT DOORS. THERE'S A LOT OF DETAIL IN THAT CODE. AGAIN, IT'S A FORM BASED CODE. AND SO WE'VE DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB IN MEETING REALLY ALMOST ALL OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS EXCEPT FOR THE COUPLE CONDITIONAL USES THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT, BUT MAKES FOR THAT BEAUTIFUL FOUR SIDED BUILDING LOOKS GOOD FROM ANY ANGLE, AND JUST A SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT AND INVESTMENT INTO THE PROPERTY. SO AGAIN, THE TOTAL SITE ACREAGE IS A LITTLE OVER EIGHT ACRES. THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN IS ABOUT HALF THAT. IT'S ABOUT FOUR ACRES. AND JODY WENT OVER THE LAND USE AND ZONING. I WON'T DWELL ON ANYTHING. I'LL TRY NOT TO DWELL ON ANYTHING THAT JODY ALREADY WENT OVER. SO LOOKING AT THE EXISTING SITE, WHAT'S OUT THERE TODAY? SO THERE'S AN EXISTING ABOUT 70,000 SQUARE FOOT HEADQUARTERS BUILDING, WHICH ENCOMPASSES THE HEADQUARTER OFFICES, PLUS THEIR BRANCH LOCATION ON SITE.

THERE'S ALSO THE KINDRED BUILDING, A LITTLE OVER 27,000FT■!S, AND THEN THE EXISTG DRIVE THROUGH FACILITY. SO OBVIOUSLY THROUGH THIS PROJECT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T BE TEARING DOWN THE BUILDING BEFORE WE'RE READY FOR THEM TO MOVE INTO THE NEW OFFICES. SO WE HAVE TO KEEP THE EXISTING OFFICES OPEN THROUGH CONSTRUCTION. SO THAT LEAVES US A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO REDEVELOP. AND THEN ONCE THAT IS FINISHED, THEY'LL MOVE THE OFFICES INTO THE NEW BUILDING, AND THEN THEY'LL BE ABLE TO DEMO THE OLD BUILDING.

NOW, BEYOND THAT, THE CODE ALSO REQUIRES US TO PUT OUR BUILDING IN THAT LOCATION BASED ON THE BUILDING FRONTAGES, THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS AND A NUMBER OF OTHER FACTORS. SO THOSE TWO ITEMS WORKING TOGETHER NOW, LOOKING AT THE SITE PLAN AGAIN, THAT LOCATION OF WHERE WE'LL BE DEVELOPING INITIALLY. AND THEN ONCE THAT'S FINISHED, WE CAN WORK ON THE BALANCE OF THE SITE, SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT JODY TOUCHED ON IN HER PRESENTATION IS THAT THIS IS AN INFILL DEVELOPMENT, RIGHT? THIS IS AN INFILL REDEVELOPMENT OF THE EXISTING SITE. SO IT'S A EXISTING HEADQUARTER CORPORATE OFFICE WITHIN OUR TOWN WITH EMPLOYEES HERE ON A DAILY BASIS. IT'S LOOKING TO REINVEST IN THE COMMUNITY. SO FROM A DRAW ON PUBLIC SERVICES THERE'S NOT AN INCREASE. RIGHT. IT IT IS ALL THE SERVICES NEEDED FOR THE FACILITIES ALREADY BEING PROVIDED TO THE SITE TODAY. ALL RIGHT. A FEW DETAILS OF THE SITE. AGAIN, OUR REDEVELOPMENT AREA IS JUST OVER FOUR ACRES. OUR GREEN SPACE REQUIRED FOR THE SITE IS 20%. IT'S ABOUT 0.82 ACRES AND WE'RE PROVIDING MORE THAN 1.5 ACRES. SO SIGNIFICANT, SIGNIFICANTLY MORE GREEN SPACE PROVIDED THAN WHAT'S REQUIRED. AND PART OF

[00:35:04]

AGAIN, IT WAS DEVELOPED IN THE 60S. SO OFF COLORADO THERE'S AN ENTRANCE AND AN EXIT. THESE ARE NOT TWO WAY ACCESSES. IT'S IN IN ONLY AND OUT ONLY AT THOSE POINTS. WITH THEIR EXTREMELY WIDE AND PAVEMENTS SPACE. WE'LL GO OVER THAT IN A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL. ON HUDSON, THERE'S AN ENTRANCE FOR A ONE WAY DRIVE FOR AN ATM, AS WELL AS A COMBINED DRIVEWAY ACCESS, WHICH CREATES SOMEWHAT OF A CONFLICT POINT. SO THROUGH OUR REDEVELOPMENT, WE'RE SIMPLIFYING THE ACCESS POINTS. WE'RE NOT REDUCING THEM ON COLORADO. WE'RE KEEPING THE IN AND THE OUT, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CURRENT TRAFFIC PATTERNS. WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE CONFUSING PEOPLE WHEN IT GETS DEVELOPED. THEY'LL STILL UNDERSTAND THE FLOW. AND AS THEY COME TO THE NEW SITE ON THAT LOCATION WHERE IT WAS A LITTLE BIT CONFUSING ON HUDSON, IT'S ONLY AN EXIT FOR THE NEW DRIVE THROUGH, SO WE DON'T HAVE THAT, YOU KNOW, INTERSECTION WITH MULTIPLE DRIVEWAYS COMING TOGETHER. AND THEN WE HAVE AN IN AND OUT AND A NEW ALLEY THAT'S PROPOSED TO CONNECT HUDSON TO KINDRED. NOW THAT'S A RECOMMENDED ELEMENT WITHIN THE CREEK DISTRICT CODE. BIFURCATE THIS SITE TO CREATE AN ADDITIONAL ACCESS POINT TO SOMEONE ON HUDSON, OR SOMEONE ON KINDRED COULD CROSS THROUGH THE SITE AND SHORTEN THAT TIME OF TRAVEL. AGAIN. TALKING ABOUT THOSE ACCESS POINTS, COMPARING EXISTING VERSUS PROPOSED IN TERMS OF THE DIMENSIONS THAT'S BEING SHOWN. SO ON THE EXISTING WHICH IS ON THE RIGHT, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S ZERO LANDSCAPE PROVIDED BETWEEN THE TWO PROPERTIES. AND THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH IS THAT USED CAR AND MAINTENANCE FACILITY THAT'S THERE. AND THAT NORTHERN DRIVEWAY, WHICH IS THE OUT ONLY EXISTING AT MORE THAN 35FT WIDE, WHICH IS SIGNIFICANTLY WIDER THAN WHAT'S NECESSARY, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT'S A RIGHT OUT ONLY. SO REDUCING THAT PAVEMENT WIDTH DOWN TO 12.5, IT'S MORE THAN ADEQUATE FOR TURNING RADIUSES AND CIRCULATION. IT REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF HARDSCAPE AGAIN, PICKING UP SOME MORE GREEN SPACE, MAKING IT A LITTLE BIT MORE SUSTAINABLE AND EFFICIENT. NOW ON THE SOUTH SIDE, THE ENTRANCE ONLY EXISTS AT MORE THAN 30FT. IT'S A LITTLE BIT CONFUSING BECAUSE YOU. AS YOU ENTER THE SITE OFF COLORADO, YOU HAVE A CHOICE TO EITHER GO STRAIGHT TO THE PARKING LOT OR MAKE THAT LEFT TO GO TO THE ATM. AND SO NOW WE DON'T HAVE THAT IMMEDIATE CHOICE COMES A LITTLE BIT LATER IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE NORTH TO GET INTO THE GARAGE OR AGAIN, EXIT THE SITE, IT'S A LITTLE BIT SIMPLER. IT'S A LITTLE BIT SLOWER, A LITTLE BIT NICER FOR EMPLOYEES AND CUSTOMERS. CIRCULATION. AGAIN, INTERNAL TO THE SITE. WE HAVE OUR MAIN ACCESS OFF COLORADO, CONNECTING TO OUR NORTH SOUTH ALLEY CONNECTING HUDSON AND KINDRED. THEN WE HAVE OUR DRIVE THROUGH WHICH GOES TO THE SOUTH, EXITING ONTO HUDSON AND OUR ONE WAY INTO THE GARAGE OR OUT FROM THE SITE. THE GARAGE DOES HAVE THREE ACCESS POINTS, SO PART OF THE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN STUDY FOR THIS PROJECT WAS MAKING SURE THAT WE HAD ENOUGH OPTIONS FOR BOTH EMPLOYEES AND CUSTOMERS TO LEAVE THE SITE. THERE'S TRAFFIC ON COLORADO AND YOU SEE IT BEFORE YOU LEAVE.

WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE VIA THE ALLEY? GO TO KINDRED OR HUDSON OVER TO JOHNSTON AND YOU CAN GET BACK OUT TO US ONE. SO THERE'S MULTIPLE OPTIONS FOR PEOPLE TO ENTER AND LEAVE THE SITE. IMPROVING TRAFFIC FLOW, PREVENTING CONFLICT. FROM A PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION STANDPOINT. WE HAVE THE EXISTING SIDEWALKS ON COLORADO AND US ONE AS WELL. OUR INTERIOR SIDEWALK SYSTEM, WHICH CONNECTS FROM COLORADO ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO EACH PORTION, MAKING IT A REALLY CONVENIENT ACCESS WAY, MAKING SURE THERE'S OPTIONS FOR PEOPLE TO WALK IN ANY DIRECTION THAT FRONTS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. OPEN SPACE, PEDESTRIAN PLAZA AT THE FRONT DOOR TO GO OVER IN A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION, WE ARE PROVIDING A FIVE FOOT BYPASS AS PART OF ONE OF OUR CONDITIONAL USE REQUESTS AT THE INTERSECTION, WHICH IS THE MOST

[00:40:05]

AGAIN, WE'LL GO OVER THIS TOO IN A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL. BUT THOSE NATIVE CANOPY TREES OF SUBSTANTIAL SIZE TO 14 TO 16FT, PRIMARILY A LOT OF LARGE CANOPY TREES AND NATIVE SPECIES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE IN BOTH IRRIGATION AND COMFORT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT, WE TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS IS THE US ONE FRONTAGE HERE YOU CAN SEE THOSE CANOPY TREES, THOSE LIVE OAKS, WHICH IS PART OF THE DESIGN REQUIREMENT. SO WHILE WE MIGHT NOT HAVE SPECIFIED OAK TREES ON OUR OWN, IT IS A REQUIREMENT WITHIN THE CODE TO HAVE OAK TREES IN THAT SPECIFIC LOCATION. BUT IT DOES PROVIDE A VERY NICE COVERAGE, WILL PROVIDE A NICE COVERAGE WHEN THEY MATURE OUT OVER THAT SIDEWALK. JODY MENTIONED IN HER PRESENTATION SOMETHING CALLED CRIME PREVENTION THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN. AND THOSE ARE THE STANDARDS. I BELIEVE THERE'S REPRESENTATIVES OF BOTH THE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS MARTIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S HERE THAT CAN PROVIDE THEIR TESTIMONY ON THAT AS WELL. BUT THE MAIN GOAL THERE, AGAIN, KIND OF SPELLED OUT IN THE NAME, IS TO TRY TO PREVENT CRIME THROUGH THE DESIGN OF NEW PROJECTS. AND SO ONE OF THE METHODS THAT WE USE HERE IN THIS PLAZA AREA IS THERE'S ALMOST NO MIDSTORY PLANTINGS. IT'S GROUND COVERS AND SHRUBS AND CANOPY TREES. SO WHAT THAT DOES IS IT CREATES A CLEAR LINE OF SIGHT FROM THE DOORWAYS ACROSS THAT PLAZA AREA TO PREVENT BLIND SPOTS AND AREAS, DARK SPOTS. SO IT'S GOING TO BE WELL LIT, WELL SURVEILLED, AND PLENTY OF CLEAR SIGHT LINES FOR PEOPLE FROM THE DOOR FROM THE PARKING GARAGE, MAKING FOR A CONVENIENT ACCESS. ANOTHER ACCEPTED STANDARDS GO A STEP FURTHER IN TERMS OF WHY DO WE HAVE A PARKING GARAGE AT ALL? AND WE'LL GET INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT AS WELL. NOW, ARCHITECTURE, WE DO HAVE THE ARCHITECT HERE THAT CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS FOR YOU. I'LL DO MY BEST, BUT THE DESIGN IS PRETTY INCREDIBLE, VERY CONSISTENT WITH THE ARCHITECTURAL REQUIREMENTS WITHIN THE CODE. WE SELECTED A FOUR COURT FRONTAGE DESIGN. WE ARE MEETING THE BUILDING HEIGHT, NUMBER OF STORIES, ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS, FORESIGHTED ARCHITECTURE. IT'S REALLY BEAUTIFUL. AND THIS IS THAT VIEW AGAIN FROM US ONE IN COLORADO. UTILIZING EXPOSED WOOD BEAMS, INCREASED TRANSPARENCY ALONG THE FRONTAGE, INTEGRATED BALCONIES. SO A NUMBER OF THESE FEATURES. AND YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE COMMENTS WE GET IS THAT IT SEEMS PRETTY MODERN IN COMPARISON. IT PROBABLY DOES SEEM PRETTY MODERN. AND THERE ARE MODERN ELEMENTS. THE USE OF GLAZING IS ONE OF THOSE ELEMENTS, BUT IT REALLY PROVIDES FOR THAT ENTRANCE INTO DOWNTOWN. AND IT'S REALLY A SPECIAL BUILDING.

AND WE'LL CLICK THROUGH A COUPLE MORE SLIDES. AGAIN, THIS IS ACCURATE LANDSCAPE AND WHAT WE DESIGNED TO GIVE YOU A PICTURE OF WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE AT THE COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT. AND THIS IS THAT PARKING GARAGE AGAIN WITH THAT SEA COAST WAVE DESIGN IN AS AN ARCHITECTURAL ARTICULATION ON THE OUTSIDE OF THAT GARAGE. NOW, TALKING ABOUT THE CONDITIONAL USE A LITTLE BIT, THE CONDITIONAL USE REALLY HAS TO MEET FOUR CRITERIA SPELLED OUT WITHIN THE CREEK DISTRICT CODE. CODY WENT OVER IT ALREADY, SO I WON'T READ IT AGAIN, BUT THOSE ARE THE FOUR ELEMENTS THAT WE HAVE THE BURDEN OF PROOF TO PROVE. AND PER STAFF RECOMMENDATION, WE MEET ALL OF THESE CRITERIA. SO THE CONDITIONAL USE IS FOR THE PARKING GARAGE. WHY HAVE A PARKING GARAGE AT ALL IS PROBABLY THE MOST SUSTAINABLE OPTION FOR PARKING, FOR VEHICLE PARKING, FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT, ESPECIALLY FOR REDEVELOPMENT IN

[00:45:01]

YOU DON'T HAVE AN ACCESS POINT DIRECTLY OFF US. ONE. AS I SAID, WE DO HAVE MEMBERS OF BOTH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT CAN PROVIDE SOME INFORMATION ON THAT AS WELL. OUR SECOND DEVIATION REQUEST IS FOR THE PERIMETER SIDEWALKS. SO THEY'RE EXISTING AT SEVEN FEET. THE CODE REQUIRES THEM TO BE TEN ALONG THE PERIMETER. AND THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE IN THOSE LOCATIONS THAT PREVENTS THAT SPACE FROM BEING USABLE. WE COULD TECHNICALLY BUILD IT, AND IT WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BE USED UNTIL THAT INFRASTRUCTURE IS MOVED DOWN THE ROAD. SO AS MITIGATING THE REQUEST, WE'RE PROVIDING THAT TEN FOOT WIDE SIDEWALK, BIFURCATING THE SITE, CONNECTING YOU FROM US ONE ALL THE WAY TO KINDRED STREET AS WELL. WE'RE PROVIDING THAT BYPASS SIDEWALK AT THE INTERSECTION. NOW. HERE'S A COUPLE PICTURES OF THAT PERIMETER OF THE PROPERTY AND SOME OF THAT INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S EXISTING FROM FPL POLES, STREET LIGHTS, THE FDOT MAST ARMS, THE CONTROL BOXES, THAT BLUE LINE THAT YOU SEE. THERE IS ACTUALLY A CITY WATER MAIN THAT RUNS DOWN THE BACKSIDE OF THE SIDEWALK THERE OFF US ONE. SO WE HAD TO PREVENT WE HAD TO KEEP LANDSCAPE OFF OF THAT WITH ROOT BARRIERS. AND, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT IMPACTING THAT INFRASTRUCTURE ON COLORADO. SAME CONDITION. THERE'S JUST A NUMBER OF OBSTACLES TO MAKE IT WORK WITH A TEN FOOT SIDEWALK. WE DON'T THINK IT'S GOOD PLANNING TO PUT IT IN NOW, CAUSING A POTENTIAL HAZARD. OUR FINAL DEVIATION REQUEST IS FOR THE PARKING GARAGE LENGTH. SO THIS GARAGE IS DESIGNED TO BE EXTREMELY EFFICIENT IN TERMS OF ITS FOOTPRINT AND ITS HEIGHT, TRYING TO MAKE IT AS SMALL A MASS AS POSSIBLE AND REALLY ACCENTUATE THE PROPERTY. SO THE SHORT SIDE OF THIS GARAGE IS ACTUALLY FACING COLORADO. SO THAT'S THE SHORTEST VIEW OF THE GARAGE FACING THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY AS WELL. WE PROVIDED AN ADDITIONAL SETBACK FROM COLORADO. SO IT'S MORE THAN 50FT TO SHORTEST POINT TO THE PROPERTY LINE. NOW WE TALKED ABOUT THE SLOPE OF THE RAMPS A LITTLE BIT. SO THIS IS A GENTLE SLOPE GARAGE WHICH MEANS ON EACH RAMP YOU HAVE PARKING ON EITHER SIDE OR WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THAT STYLE OF GARAGE. IF WE WERE TO SHORTEN THE GARAGE TO MEET THAT 200 FOOT MINIMUM STANDARDS, WE WOULD MOST LIKELY HAVE TO INCLUDE THE SPEED RAMPS. YOU CAN'T PARK ON THOSE RAMPS. THEY OFTEN HAVE TURNS. THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT INCONVENIENT AND UNCOMFORTABLE FOR PEOPLE TO DRIVE IN. YOU SEE, IN THESE GARAGES ALL THE TIME, BLACK MARKS ON THE SIDES WHERE PEOPLE RUN INTO THE WALLS. SO THIS IS THAT VIEW FROM COLORADO AGAIN, THE SHORTEST SIDE OF THE GARAGE. IF WE WERE TO SHORTEN THE GARAGE AGAIN, WE'D HAVE TO IMPLEMENT SPEED RAMPS. WE'D ALSO HAVE TO IMPLEMENT AN ADDITIONAL FLOOR, WHICH WOULD INCREASE THE HEIGHT AND THE PRESENCE OF THAT GARAGE ON COLORADO. SO FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE AS DESIGN PROFESSIONALS, WE FELT THAT BEST DESIGN OPTION TO HAVE IT A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN THE 200FT INTO THE PROPERTY, KEEP IT SHORT ON COLORADO AND KEEP IT LOW. IN CONCLUSION, YOU KNOW THE REQUESTS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

THE CITY IS CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, PROMOTES BUSINESS RETENTION. IT'S AN INFILL DEVELOPMENT, MAINTAINING A BUSINESS WITHIN THE CITY. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL, AND IT'S A CONTINUATION OF SEACOAST LEGACY AND STUART MORE THAN 90 YEARS IN THE MAKING. SO REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. AND LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE THE WHOLE TEAM HERE. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY

[00:50:04]

THE BYPASS SIDEWALK IS A GREAT IDEA. LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT, BUT THE EXISTING SIDEWALK ON COLORADO ON THAT IS ALMOST USELESS. YOU MIGHT HAVE 2 OR 3FT BECAUSE OF ALL THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE AND POLES STICKING UP AND ALL THAT. SO IS THERE ANY CONSIDERATION TO BEING A LITTLE BIGGER THAN FIVE FEET? BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL PROBABLY AVOID THE US, THE EXISTING SIDEWALK, IF IF THERE'S A SIDEWALK PUT IN THERE. YEAH. SO THE SIDEWALKS SEVEN FEET EXISTING GETS NARROWER BECAUSE OF ALL THOSE, THOSE PROBLEMS. AND SO, YOU KNOW, OUR POSITION IS THAT IF WE'RE TO WIDEN THE SIDEWALK ANYMORE, IT'S NOT WIDENING THE USABLE PORTION BECAUSE MOST OF THE OBSTRUCTIONS ARE ON THE INSIDE PORTION OF THAT SIDEWALK. IF YOU JUST TACK ON ADDITIONAL PAVEMENT, EVEN IF YOU REMOVED ALL THE EXISTING AND PUT BACK NEW, IT'S STILL GOT THE SAME OBSTRUCTIONS THERE. NO, NO, I MEAN THE BYPASS PART MAKE IT BIGGER THAN FIVE. BIGGER THAN FIVE FEET. YEAH. MAKE THE BYPASS LARGER SO THAT PEOPLE JUST. YEAH. SO SINCE SINCE IT'S FIVE FEET CLEAR, WE DIDN'T THINK ABOUT MAKING IT WIDER. IF YOUR THOUGHT IS THAT SEVEN MIGHT BE MORE FAVORABLE, I MEAN, WE'D BE HAPPY TO TO LOOK AT IT.

THERE'S PROBABLY ENOUGH ROOM THERE. BUT LIKE WE SAID, WITHOUT ANY OBSTRUCTIONS, FIVE FEET IS STILL A DECENTLY SIZED SIDEWALK AT THE CORNER THERE. YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRYING NOT TO TAKE TOO MUCH AWAY FROM THE LANDSCAPE AT THAT CORNER. RIGHT? YOU KNOW, WE APPRECIATE THAT COMMENT. AND THEN JUST TO NOTE ON THE FIRST ITEM. IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT IFS AND POTENTIALS, EVERY PROPERTY WITHIN THE CREEK DISTRICT HAS A POTENTIAL TO BE REDEVELOPED. SO WE JUST HAPPEN TO BE COMING IN WITH A PROPOSAL THAT REDEVELOPS A PORTION OF OUR SITE FOR A BRAND NEW CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS FOR SEACOAST, WHICH IS PRETTY SPECTACULAR. SO THAT SEVERELY LIMITS THE POTENTIAL OF WHAT ELSE MIGHT HAPPEN WITH THE SITE IN THE FUTURE, BECAUSE MORE THAN HALF OF IT IS BEING TAKEN UP BY THIS NEW SEACOAST HEADQUARTERS. SO JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND WITH THIS. WE DEFINITELY APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THAT UP. AND OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, THAT IS REALLY TRUE OF ANY DEVELOPMENT. YOU KNOW, IF IT'S NOT BEING BUILT TO THE FULLEST POSSIBLE POTENTIAL OF THE SITE, WHICH WE DON'T ALWAYS LIKE TO SEE BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE YOU'RE BORN 10 POUNDS OF SOMETHING INTO SOMETHING THAT HOLDS ONLY 5 POUNDS. SO, YOU KNOW, JUST ANY, ANY PROPERTY WITHIN THE WITHIN THE DISTRICT HAS THAT POTENTIAL TO BE REDEVELOPED. AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE OTHERS, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE, MAYBE HONED IN ON THE INGRESS EGRESS BECAUSE I'VE, I'VE MANAGED SHOPPING

[00:55:02]

SO THIS IS THE FIRST REMODEL THAT YOU'RE REALLY HAVING ON THIS HEADQUARTERS. SUBSEQUENT TO THAT, RIGHT? I MEAN, THIS THIS IS IT. SO NOW THE REST OF THE PROPERTY THAT'S NOT BEING REDEVELOPED, IT'S ZONING DOESN'T CHANGE, RIGHT? I MEAN, I GUESS I SHOULD ASK JODY, BUT JODY. THAT'S RIGHT. THE ZONING DOESN'T CHANGE, RIGHT? IT'S STILL GOING TO BE CREEK DISTRICT, RIGHT? YES, SIR. CHAIR. OKAY. SO SO THEY STILL HAVE YOU GUYS STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO ON, ON THAT PROPERTY BECAUSE BUT YOU'D ALSO BE SUBJECT TO THE CURRENT CURRENT CODE AND, AND RESTRICTIONS. SO IF THEY WANTED TO DO SOMETHING CRAZY RIGHT IT WOULD BE THE SAME. IT'D BE THE SAME ZONING. WE'D JUST HAVE TO SOMEBODY'D HAVE TO APPROVE. CRAZY. SURE. WHY WOULD THEY DO CRAZY? WELL, YOU KNOW WHY YOU WOULDN'T. BUT THE CREEK DISTRICT HAS CERTAIN. THE CREEK DISTRICT HAS CERTAIN, YOU KNOW, GUIDELINES WHICH ARE WHICH ARE GOOD. I, I REALLY LIKE WHAT YOU KNOW, WHAT THEY DID WITH THE CREEK DISTRICT.

BUT SO I'M JUST SAYING IT'S IT'S REALLY NOT CHANGING THAT. I KNOW WHEN I LOOKED AT IT AT FIRST I'M THINKING, OKAY, WHAT? BUT THEN I'M REALIZING, WELL, IT'S THE SAME ZONING ANYWAY. SO I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT. RIGHT. AND AND THEN THE OTHER THING THAT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS THE ONLY REASON. AND AGAIN, JODY, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. THE ONLY REASON THIS WAS BROUGHT IS BEING BROUGHT TO THE COMMISSION. RIGHT, IS BECAUSE THE PARKING GARAGE, BY DEFINITION, IS A CONDITIONAL USE THAT HAS TO GO TO THE THAT HAS TO GO IN THE CREEK DISTRICT.

SO IT HAS TO GO TO THE COMMISSION. RIGHT, CHAIR. THAT IS CORRECT. THE PARKING GARAGE IS A CONDITIONAL USE. ALSO THEY REQUESTED THREE DESIGN DEVIATIONS. RIGHT. SO I WAS GOING TO GET INTO THAT. SO WE GOT THE THREE DESIGN WHICH IS THE PARKING WHICH IS THE SIDEWALK. RIGHT. THAT THAT'S ONE. AND THEN WE HAD THE FRONT DOOR RIGHT. YES SIR. AND AND THEN WE'VE GOT THE PARKING GARAGE AND THE GARAGE AND THE GARAGE WHICH. OKAY. SO NOW LET ME ASK YOU THIS IF LET'S SAY. THE CITY SAID, NO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO APPROVE THE SIDEWALK AND THE YOU CAN STILL DO THIS PROJECT. IT JUST WOULDN'T BE AS EFFICIENT. RIGHT? I MEAN, THE SIDEWALK IS THERE. IT'S JUST NOT GOING TO GET USED IF WE. RIGHT. IF WE MAKE IT, WE'LL HAVE TEN FEET OF UNUSED SIDEWALK INSTEAD OF SEVEN FEET OF. RIGHT. I MEAN, THAT'S BASICALLY SOME OF THESE THINGS ARE REALLY MINOR THINGS THAT DON'T. RIGHT. OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT ANY, YOU KNOW, IT'S THE IT'S REALLY THE PARKING GARAGE. AND THEN THE ONLY LAST THING I WOULD, I WOULD SAY IS, OR I WAS GOING TO ASK TRACY AND I DON'T KNOW IF SHE HAS THIS RIGHT OFFHAND. WHAT IS THE ANNUAL PAYROLL OF THIS SITE? WHAT WHAT TYPE OF ECONOMIC BENEFIT DOES THIS DOES THIS SITE PROVIDE? YEAH. SO THE 225 FOLKS THAT ARE BASED HERE ARE ALL IN PROFESSIONAL ROLES, EITHER THE CLIENT FACING TEAM OR EXECUTIVES OR SOME LEVEL OF, YOU KNOW, BACK OFFICE FUNCTION. SO THEY ARE WELL PAID PROFESSIONAL ROLES. THEY DON'T HAVE THE SPECIFIC NUMBER THAT'S JUST ON THIS CAMPUS, BUT IT'S 225 TIMES MEANINGFUL. YEAH. SO WE'RE WE'RE UP IN WE GOTTA BE UP IN. WHAT WOULD YOU THINK.

WE'RE IN THE 100 MILLION CATEGORY AT LEAST. IS IS SEACOAST THE LARGEST EMPLOYER BUT LARGEST PRIVATE EMPLOYER NOW IN TOWN AMONG THE LARGEST PROBABLY WITH THE HOSPITAL.

OKAY, I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY. I WASN'T SURE WHAT THE ECONOMIC NUMBERS WERE. I. I KNOW THEY'RE LARGE ENOUGH. WE PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO LOSE THEM, BUT SORRY ABOUT THAT. BUT THAT'S THE BACK.

BUT BUT ANYWAY ALL RIGHT I, I ANY OTHER GO AHEAD OTHER QUESTIONS. I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT. SORRY. THIS MAY BE A SHORT TRAIN. YEAH. MAYBE FOR JODY OR GEORGE. YOU CAN EXPLAIN. COULD YOU EXPLAIN TO THE BOARD WHAT AN A STREET IS AND WHAT A B STREET IS? SURE. IF YOU JUST GIVE ME A MOMENT, I'LL LOOK FOR MY CODE. SO THE DISTRICT HAS A

[01:00:02]

IN THIS CASE AN A STREET. AND FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY, WE COLORADO AND US, ONE TELLS YOU LIKE WHERE THE FRONTAGE TYPE IS GOING TO BE, WHAT TYPE OF APPLICATION YOU'RE GOING TO PUT IN THERE. SO B, I DON'T LET ME JUST GET THAT CODE. HOLD ON ONE SECOND. IT'S IT'S A BASIC CATEGORIZATION AND HIERARCHY OF STREETSCAPES. RIGHT. SO YOU'RE MORE PROMINENT FRONTAGES OR THE STREETS. US ONE AND COLORADO ARE REALLY THE MOST PROMINENT. AND THEN YOU HAVE SMALLER SIDE STREETS LIKE JOHNSTON OR HUDSON, WHICH I BELIEVE ARE BOTH STREETS. AND THEN THERE'S A WHOLE NOTHER, YOU KNOW, LIST OF STREET CATEGORIES, ALLEYS AND DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT TYPES OF STREETS. AND THERE'S CERTAIN DESIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH. THAT'S THE THE BASIC SYNOPSIS OF IT. THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTOOD WHEN WE'RE MAKING THESE DECISIONS, WHAT AN A STREET IS SUPPOSED TO DO AND WHAT A B STREET IS SUPPOSED TO DO WITHIN DOWNTOWN, AND WHY WE MAKE THESE DECISIONS OR EXCEPTIONS BASED OFF OF THAT.

BUT MAYBE THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR EVERYBODY. WHAT THE ONE THING ABOUT THE PROJECT THAT'S REALLY GIVEN ME THE HEARTBURN IS THE TEN FOOT SIDEWALKS NOT EXISTING. AND I, I LOOKED THROUGH ALL YOUR PLANS, AND I DID GO OUT AND LOOK AT THE SITE AND YEAH, FDOT JUST GOT A TON OF STUFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SIDEWALK RIGHT NEXT TO THE SIDEWALK. SO I KNOW IT MAKES IT REALLY DIFFICULT. HOW FAR FROM THE EXISTING SIDEWALK IS THAT WATER MAIN? DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY FEET IT IS? YEAH. SO WE WERE ABLE TO DO SOME LOCATES AND IT VARIES. I THINK THE CLOSEST POINT IT'S PROBABLY THREE FEET IN THE FURTHEST POINT IT'S FIVE, 5 TO 8 I THINK OFF THE BACK OF THAT SIDEWALK. SO THERE'S A BIT OF AN ANGLE THERE. SO IT VARIES A LITTLE BIT. AND YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WAS, YOU KNOW, CAN WE MOVE THAT SIDEWALK ANYWHERE. AND THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS BECAUSE ALSO OF THE LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS AND HOW WE WANT THIS BUILDING TO LOOK WITH THE THE SHADE CANOPY, LIVE OAKS THAT WE'RE REQUIRED TO PUT, WE CAN'T MOVE THOSE TREES ANY FURTHER TO THE STREET BECAUSE OF THAT WATER MAIN. RIGHT. WE CAN'T MOVE THAT WATER MAIN, AND WE CAN'T MOVE THOSE TREES ANY CLOSER TO THE BUILDING BECAUSE THEY'RE LARGE OAK TREES. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE CONSTANT IMPACTS WITH THE BUILDING, WITH THE WITH THE DESIGN OF THE BUILDING. SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE REALLY LIMITED THERE IN TERMS OF OPTIONS. WE CAN'T MOVE THE SIDEWALK TO NOT CONFLICT WITH THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE BECAUSE OF THE UNDERGROUND INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE OTHER LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS. SO IF YOU REMOVE THE LANDSCAPE, THEN YOU'D HAVE A NICE BIG, BEAUTIFUL SIDEWALK AND NOTHING TO SHADE IT WITH AND IT WOULDN'T LOOK THAT GOOD. SO THERE'S A BIT OF A TRADE OFF THERE. AND THAT'S WAS THE DILEMMA. AND WE BELIEVE WE CAME UP WITH THE BEST OPTION FROM A SAFETY AND DESIGN PERSPECTIVE. OKAY. AND THIS WOULD PROBABLY BE A NOTE FOR CITY STAFF. BUT I KNOW THAT FLORIDA DOT IS GOING THROUGH MARTIN COUNTY RIGHT NOW AND UPDATING A LOT OF THOSE TYPES OF ISSUES AT INTERSECTIONS. WE'VE PROBABLY ALL SEEN THE WORK ON US1 RIGHT NOW, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY CRITICAL FOR YOU ALL TO TALK WITH THEM, MAYBE TO TALK TO THE MPO ABOUT WORKING ON GETTING THOSE ELEMENTS OUT OF THE SIDEWALK SO THAT DOWN THE ROAD WE CAN MAKE THE SIDEWALK BIG ENOUGH. AND ONE OF THE REASONS THAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME IS I ALSO VOLUNTEER ON A BOARD AT THE MPO, AND I HAVEN'T BEEN TO A MEETING IN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF WHERE PEOPLE AREN'T COMPLAINING ABOUT E-BIKES ON THE SIDEWALKS. SO THE WIDER WE CAN HAVE OUR SIDEWALKS SO THEY CAN FUNCTION MORE LIKE A SHARED USE PATH, THE BETTER FOR EVERYBODY WHO'S GOING TO USE THEM AND WHO COULD POTENTIALLY USE THEM IN THE FUTURE. SO THAT'S JUST A NOTE FOR YOU ALL TO KEEP IN MIND. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YEAH, I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS. GO AHEAD. YEAH OKAY. THANKS. ALL RIGHT I HAD TO LOOK UP THE CREEK DISTRICT CODE LIKE YOU IDENTIFIED. THIS IS MAYBE THE SECOND, POTENTIALLY THE FIRST MAJOR PROJECT TO COME FORWARD AND RELATED TO THE PARKING GARAGE IN CODE 3.04.03, I'LL SUMMARIZE WHAT IT SAYS SHALL NOT HAVE A HORIZONTAL LENGTH OR WIDTH OF 200FT WITHOUT A STREET, ALLEY, OR VIA PROVIDING THROUGH ACCESS TO ANOTHER STREET ALLEY OR VIA A VIA SHALL BE A MINIMUM OF TEN FEET. NOW THE DESIGN SHOW YOU HAD THREE ENTRANCE POINTS. SO IN THEORY, WOULD THAT CLASSIFY AS BASICALLY A THROUGH VIA? IN THEORY, CAN YOU COUNT DRIVING THROUGH THE PARKING GARAGE AS AS YOUR VIA OR HOW DOES THAT WORK? I CERTAINLY WANTED TO MAKE THAT ARGUMENT, BUT WE FELT THAT THE SAFEST OPTION TO JUST BRING THE

[01:05:01]

SO IT CERTAINLY COULD BE CONSIDERED THAT AS WELL. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THE TEN FOOT, YOU KNOW, BYPASS THROUGH THE SITE JUST TO THE EAST OF THAT GARAGE, WHICH IS THE SIDEWALK THAT GETS THROUGH. BUT I APPRECIATE. YEAH. OKAY. AND THEN KIND OF RELATED TO THAT AND IT GOES TO JEFF'S QUESTION, THERE'S 225 CURRENT EMPLOYEES. AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SEACOAST NEED A LOT MORE THAN 252 EMPLOYEES. BUT IT DOES BRING A QUESTION OF WHAT'S GOING TO GO ON IN PHASE TWO.

AND SO THERE IS A PUBLIC CONCERN ABOUT THAT. SO IT'S KIND OF AN UNKNOWN IN MY OPINION. IT'S JUST JUST MY OPINION. IT'S YOUR PROPERTY. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH IT AS LONG AS YOU DON'T GO CRAZY. RIGHT. SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A, I THINK, A LEGITIMATE CONCERN OF AN UNKNOWN. SO IT'S IT IS WHAT IT IS. THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE OR CONCERN IS DUE TO SECURITY, THE FRONTAGE, YOU WANT A VARIANCE IN THE OR EXCEPTION FOR THE FRONTAGE TYPE. AND YOU DON'T WANT THE FRONT DOOR ON US ONE. AND I UNDERSTAND IT AND I COULD BE WRONG. I HAVEN'T READ THE ENTIRE CODE FOR CREEK DISTRICT, BUT I THE WAY I UNDERSTAND IT IS THEY WANT A VERY ESTHETICALLY APPEALING FRONT ENTRANCE FROM THE ROADSIDE. SO YOU'RE ASKING FOR THIS EXCEPTION, IS THIS CORRECT? YEAH. SO THERE'S A FEW THINGS TO UNPACK WITH THAT. AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK AGAIN AT THE CREEK DISTRICT CODE AND THE REASON IT WAS BROUGHT FORWARD AND THE TYPES OF DEVELOPMENTS THAT IT FORESAW, IT DIDN'T REALLY CONSIDER A LARGE SCALE CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS OFFICE BUILDING FOR THE SMALLER PROPERTIES ALONG COLORADO MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE PARKING OUT IN FRONT OF THEM. YOU YOU'RE MOST LIKELY GOING TO HAVE A FRONT ENTRANCE OFF THE STREET FOR A RETAIL SHOP OR, YOU KNOW, SMALLER OFFICE, REAL ESTATE OFFICE, SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE, BUT WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION HEADQUARTERS WITH A BRANCH LOCATION INSIDE. IF YOU'RE PROVIDING A FRONT ACCESS DOOR OUT TO THE STREET AND TO YOUR PARKING LOT, YOU GOT TWICE THE AMOUNT OF EXITS TO TO MONITOR, WHICH YOU MIGHT THINK, OKAY, WHY DON'T YOU PUT UP A CAMERA OR SOMETHING? OR WHY DON'T YOU JUST NOT MAKE IT A USABLE DOOR, WHICH DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THE CODE ENTIRELY? AND THEN YOU JUST HAVE A SIDEWALK LEADING UP TO THE BUILDING, WHICH WOULD CAUSE CONFUSION, AND YOU DON'T WANT PEOPLE DOING THAT. BUT FROM A SAFETY AND SECURITY STANDPOINT, ESPECIALLY FOR A BANK LOCATION. AND WE SAW IT RECENTLY IN PALM CITY, WHERE YOU HAVE YOUR FRONT DOOR OUT ON TOWARDS THE MAIN STREET. IT'S AN EASY OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMEONE TO RUN IN AND RUN OUT BACK TO THE STREET. AND THERE'S CONVENIENT WAYS ON VIA US ONE. WE DON'T LIKE TO THINK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME. BANK ROBBERIES AND SUCH, BUT LIKE I SAID, WE DO HAVE THE CITY OF STUART POLICE CHIEF AND MARTIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S HERE THAT CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS AS WELL. IF YOU IF YOU WANTED TO ASK A QUESTION OF THE POLICE CHIEF, HE COULD GO OVER THEIR ANALYSIS OF THE SITE AND THEIR SUPPORT OF OUR REQUESTED DEVIATION. OKAY. AND ON THAT SAME TRACK, YOU HAVE A RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET IS THE BANK OF AMERICA BUILDING, WHICH IS A PRETTY TALL BUILDING THAT'S NOT REALLY CORPORATE.

IT'S NOT THEIR CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS, BUT IT'S A BIG BUILDING. AND IN IN THEORY, YOU'RE GOING TO BE BUILDING THIS OTHER LARGE BUILDING RIGHT NEXT TO THEM. SO MY CONCERN IS THERE'S A RISK THAT AS SOMEBODY ROLLS INTO THIS AREA, IT'S ALL OF A SUDDEN, OKAY, NOW WE'RE STARTING TO BUILD UP TO LOOKING LIKE SOMETHING LIKE FORT LAUDERDALE OR, YOU KNOW, YOU KIND OF BUILD UP AND YOU GET THE BIG CITY FEEL THAT THAT BANK OF AMERICA BECAUSE I LIVE, YOU KNOW, RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THERE. AND YOU ALREADY HAVE KIND OF A COLD FEEL THAT YOU GET FROM THE BANK OF AMERICA BUILDING. SO ADDING THIS BIG BUILDING RIGHT NEXT TO THE STREET IS, IS A POTENTIAL CONCERN. AND I KNOW OTHER SPOKEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND THAT'S ONE OF THEIR CONCERNS AS WELL. SO MAYBE THE SETBACK TO GO BACK TO YOUR POINT ABOUT SECURITY, IT MAYBE IF THERE WAS A SETBACK OFF OF US, ONE THAT MIGHT REDUCE SOME OF THE RISK JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE. OKAY. ANOTHER QUESTION I HAVE THAT PARTICULAR INTERSECTION TENDS TO FLOOD A LOT. I SAW IN THE DESIGNS YOU'RE ANTICIPATING A THIS IS A MEAN RAINFALL OF 57IN OR 57.00 I ASSUMED INCHES. LET'S SEE HERE ALSO IT SAID WET POND AREA IN THE POST LISTING.

THERE'S NO WET POND AREA IN IN PRE-LISTING. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW, BUT WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS OF RAINFALL? BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, WHEN THERE'S DOWNPOURS, LIKE WE HAD A COUPLE THIS THIS SUMMER, IT IT'S LITERALLY GETTING TO THE INTERSECTION IN MY LITTLE CAR.

I LITERALLY WAS ALMOST HAD WATER OVER THE THE HOOD. RIGHT. SO IT WAS CRAZY. I'M LIKE, OH, COME ON BETSY, LET'S GET THROUGH THIS THING. BUT IN A BARELY DID. SO DO YOU KNOW IF THIS IS GOING TO REDUCE IT? APPARENTLY THE NUMBERS SAY THAT THERE'S ANOTHER NUMBER THAT

[01:10:04]

BASICALLY, THE WATER JUST SITS IN THAT AREA AND THERE'S SOME THERE'S SOME MINOR RETENTION AREAS THERE, BUT NOT NOT SIGNIFICANT. SO BASICALLY THE WATER JUST FILLS UP. THAT AREA ULTIMATELY GOES INTO THE THE ROADWAY. OKAY. AND SO ONE OF THE THE BENEFITS OF THE IMPROVED PLAN IS, IS WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THAT AREA THAT'S LANDLOCKED FOR DRAINAGE. AND WE'RE GOING TO TAKE IT THROUGH THE SITE, AND WE'RE GOING TO TAKE IT TO THE ACTUALLY ULTIMATELY DISCHARGING INTO FRAZIER CREEK. OKAY. THROUGH THROUGH THE POND. SO ESSENTIALLY THE THE ADVANTAGE OF THIS IS, IS THE WATER THAT THAT WAS GOING INTO THE ROADWAY IN THAT AREA IS NO LONGER GOING TO GO IN THAT DIRECTION. THERE'LL BE A PERIMETER BERM.

IT'S GOING TO BE ULTIMATELY BE CAPTURED. AND WHAT WE CALL A TREATMENT TRAIN. SO NOT ONLY ARE WE TREATING THE WATER IN UNDERGROUND STORAGE, BASICALLY, WE BASICALLY THEN HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE ADEQUATELY CONVEY THE WATER WITH PROPER PIPE SIZES. IT ACTUALLY WILL GO THROUGH WHAT IS A BAFFLE BOX THAT EXISTS OUT THERE TODAY AND THEN ULTIMATELY WILL GO INTO THE INTO BRUNO CREEK. SO BRUNO POND, SO THE POINT I'M TRYING TO MAKE TO YOU IS WE'RE, WE'RE PRETTY MUCH TRYING TO CAPTURE THAT WATER THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

SO I, YOU KNOW, THE ONLY THING WE HAVEN'T DONE AND AND I DON'T KNOW, REALLY THAT WOULD BE PRACTICAL IS TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO CONVEY THAT WATER, BECAUSE THAT REALLY SHOULD BE GOING DOWN COLORADO AVENUE OR AND SO FORTH. BUT SO WHAT YOU DO IN STORMWATER MANAGEMENT IS YOU TRY TO TAKE THE WATER AWAY FROM AN AREA. AND SO THAT'S ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING THAT HELP. THANK YOU. YEAH MOST DEFINITELY. THANK YOU. AND THIS MIGHT BE RELATED TO THAT ON PAGE 113 IT SAID THE REDEVELOPMENT WITHIN FRAZIER CREEK BASIN. THERE'S A COUPLE OF AREAS THAT ARE. RED SQUARED AND HASHED OUT WITH RED. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT A LITTLE BIT? I DON'T WANT TO BE VAGUE, BUT IT'S ON PAGE 113 OF THE PACKET THAT WAS SENT OUT. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT PAGE NUMBER THAT YOU MIGHT BE FAMILIAR WITH. IT'S RELATED TO THE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT. OKAY. SO CHARGE INTO THE FRAZIER CREEK SYSTEM. YEAH OKAY. THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN. SO THAT'S OKAY. NO NO FURTHER. YOU DON'T NEED TO THAT'S THAT'S OKAY. I WAS JUST I WAS CURIOUS IF IT WAS, I SHOULD HAVE ASKED IF THAT WAS CONNECTED TO THE STORMWATER RUNOFF. OKAY. AND MAYBE 1 OR 2 MORE. OH, IT SAYS YOUR REPORT SAYS THE NITROGEN LOAD ESTIMATE IS DOWN 41% COMPARED TO THE CURRENT. HOW DID THEY COME UP WITH THAT NUMBER? ALL GOOD QUESTIONS. I WAS TOLD THAT I WASN'T GOING TO GET INTO THAT TECHNICAL WELL, I'M USUALLY THE BORING SIDE OF THIS CONVERSATION, BUT ALL GOOD QUESTION. SO AS YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE NEW STORMWATER REGULATIONS ARE NOW IS STORMWATER HAS KIND OF COME A LONG WAY SINCE WHEN I STARTED 40 YEARS AGO, AS YOU KNOW, WE USED TO TRY TO GET WATER OFF THE LAND AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE. THEN WE SAID, WELL, LET'S TAKE IT AND RETAIN SOME OF THAT WATER AND PROVIDE SOME TREATMENT. AND THEN THEN THE NEXT THING WE WE GOT INTO IT, FLORIDA, IS NUTRIENT LOAD REDUCTION. AND THE TWO NUTRIENTS THAT WE ARE TRYING TO CONTROL IN OUR AREA FOR BOTH THE SAINT LUCIE RIVER AS WELL AS THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON, IS NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS. SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT THE CRITERIA FOR REDUCTION IN NUTRIENTS IS IN. AND SO, YOU KNOW, AFTER THE FIRST OF THIS OF 2026, JANUARY 1ST, 2026, IT'S GOING TO BE REQUIRED OF ALL NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT THEY HAVE TO BASICALLY TREAT. IT ACTUALLY WILL BE PHOSPHORUS. NITROGEN IS GOING TO BE UP TO 90%, 80 TO 90% REDUCTION, OKAY. AND PHOSPHORUS IS GOING TO BE 55%. AND SO WE MAY IT'LL DEPEND ON EACH SITE. WE TYPICALLY DO THAT ON ALL SITES CURRENTLY NOW ALREADY. SO ESSENTIALLY THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IS WE HAVE TO REDUCE. AND THERE'S CALCULATIONS FOR THAT. AND SOME OF IT YOU GET THROUGH SOME OF THE DIFFERENT TREATMENT TRAIN ITEMS THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. YOU KNOW, YOU GET DIFFERENT RATES WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT DETENTION, WHAT RETENTION BIOSWALES. SO YOU GET GREATER.

OBVIOUSLY, THE MORE RETENTION THAT YOU HAVE AND THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLANTS THAT YOU PUT IN THOSE AREAS PROVIDE NUTRIENT UPTAKE. THEY TAKE THE PLANTS, TAKE THE NUTRIENTS OUT OF THE

[01:15:05]

THEREFORE IT'S A REDUCTION IN TRIPS. THAT'S WHY IT SHOWS, EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO BE THE SAME. AND THAT'S WHAT YOU MENTIONED EARLIER. SO I APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING THAT TO ME OKAY. SO THERE'S A BIG ASK THAT'S UNDERWAY, I THINK FOR YOU ALL, AS FAR AS THE WAY I SEE IT, THE SETBACK, YOU JUST YOU WANT THE BUILDING RIGHT NEXT TO US, ONE THAT'S A POTENTIAL CONCERN. AND AND I'VE HEARD FROM PEOPLE AND I'M GOING TO MAYBE ASK TRACY ON THIS AND MAYBE SHE KNOWS, MAYBE SHE DOESN'T. SO SOME OF THE PEOPLE'S COMMENTS THAT I'VE HEARD WAS SEACOAST USED TO BE THIS BIG SUPPORTER OF THE COMMUNITY, AND THEY'RE ALL ABOUT THE MONEY NOW. NOW, YOU IDENTIFIED HOW YOU SPENT QUITE A BIT OF MONEY, AND I KNOW THE SEACOAST HAS THROUGH THE YEARS, BUT YOU SAID HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY EVERY YEAR, AND YOU SPENT THOUSANDS OF VOLUNTEER HOURS. AND I DON'T DOUBT THAT. SO THERE IS A CONCERN AMONGST THE PEOPLE THAT I'VE SPOKE TO THAT SEACOAST HAS KIND OF SHIFTED A LITTLE BIT AWAY. NOW, DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD, WHAT IS THE YEAR OVER YEAR INCREASE OR DECREASE FROM SEACOAST FUNDING OF SPECIAL OPERATIONS OR, YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AS COMPARED TO THE CURRENT RUN RATE? YEAH, IT'S ABOUT THE SAME YEAR OVER YEAR. AND SO AS WE GROW, WE DO HAVE A FOOTPRINT IN OTHER COMMUNITIES. AND SO MONEY AND FUNDS FOR COMMUNITY SUPPORT INITIATIVES EXIST IN ALL OF THE COMMUNITIES WHERE WE DO BUSINESS, IN THE SAME WAY THAT THE LOCAL TEAMS VOLUNTEER AT THEIR THEIR LOCAL EVENTS. SO THAT CONTINUES TO BE SORT OF DISTRIBUTED ACROSS THE FOOTPRINT. SO AS THE, THE, THE THE BASE OF ACTIVITY HERE GROWS AND DEEPENS, OUR FINANCIAL COMMITMENT REMAINS. SO THERE'S NO CHANGE YEAR OVER YEAR. BUT THERE ARE I WOULD SAY MAYBE ADDITIONAL INDIRECT CONSIDERATIONS OR SERVICE ON LOCAL BOARDS AND LEADERSHIP.

THE INVOLVEMENT WITH THE UNITED WAY IS PROBABLY BEEN THE MOST SIGNIFICANT, ABOUT $1 MILLION OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS TO UNITED WAY. THAT'S DISTRIBUTED HERE. OKAY. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. THANKS. THANKS, MARK. I WOULD SAY JUST AS A SIDE TO THAT, WHEN I WAS ON MAIN STREET, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE DIFFERENCE IS AND WE'RE SEEING IT WITH A LOT OF THE BANKS, THEY'RE SHIFTING BECAUSE OF WHAT TRACY SAID. THEY'RE SHIFTING TO TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, BE EQUAL ACROSS THEIR BANK FOOTPRINT, BUT THEY'RE SHIFTING TO LABOR FROM DOLLARS. WE USED TO GET A CHECK FOR $10,000 EVERY SINGLE YEAR FROM SEACOAST. IN EXCHANGE, THEY NOW PROVIDE LABOR, YOU KNOW, FUNDRAISE OR ACTIVITY TYPE THINGS. BUT THAT'S AND ALL THE BANKS HAVE BEEN DOING THAT LATELY. I WISH I'D GET SOME OF THAT MONEY BACK, MAKE IT A LOT EASIER. BUT OKAY,

[01:20:04]

WAS IT STARTED OR WHEN? WHEN DID THIS PROJECT START WITH THE CITY? SO THE APPLICANT HAD PRE-APPLICATION MEETING WITH US LAST YEAR. WE DID GET HELD UP A LITTLE BIT WITH THE ZONING AND PROGRESS THAT THE CITY COMMISSION WAS IN, AND THEN THE APPLICANT SUBMITTED BACK IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR. SO THE CONDITIONAL USE IN THE MAJOR SITE PLAN. SO THEY OFFICIALLY SUBMITTED IN IN MAY OF THIS YEAR. MARCH OF THIS YEAR. GOT IT. SO I I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE SO THE I GUESS THEY WERE MAYBE THEY SUBMITTED OR WERE PLANNING TO SUBMIT LAST YEAR. BUT AS YOU SAY THE ZONING AND PROGRESS. DID THAT STOP THAT PROCESS OR DID THAT HELD IT UP UNTIL MARCH OF THIS YEAR? AND I GUESS WHAT I'D ASK IS WHAT IS DIFFERENT TODAY THAN THEN? SO I THINK THE CONFUSION IS, IS THEY HAD A PRE-APPLICATION MEETING IN LAST YEAR. GOT IT. THEY DID OFFICIALLY SUBMIT, BUT THEY WERE WAITING FOR THE ZONING AND PROGRESS TO SEE WHAT WHAT TYPE OF AMENDMENTS THAT THE BOARD WAS GOING TO MAKE AND TO SEE IF IT WAS GOING TO AFFECT THIS PARTICULAR REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT. SO, AND AFTER THE ZONING PROGRESS LOOKED LIKE IT WAS MOVING FORWARD, THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD AFFECT THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT WAS THE THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS, WHICH THEY DID MEET REGARDLESS IF YOU HAD A ZONING PROGRESS ORDINANCE, IF YOU APPLIED THAT ORDINANCE TODAY, OR IF YOU APPLIED THE CREEK DISTRICT BECAUSE IT'S JUST 1 TO 300. SO THEY MEET THEIR PARKING REQUIREMENTS.

THAT WAS THE ONLY CHANGE THAT WAS MADE THROUGH THE CITY COMMISSION FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT THAT COULD AFFECT THIS PROJECT. SO THE SO THE ZIP. EXERCISE, IS IT IS IT SAFE TO SAY THE ZIP EXERCISE DELAYED THE PROJECT? I'M NOT SURE IF IT DELAYED THE PROJECT. I THINK THEY WERE JUST TRYING TO. WE MET ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES. THEY TRYING TO HONE DOWN WHAT DEVIATIONS THEY WOULD NEED FROM THE CODE, AND WORKING WITH TREASURE COAST PLANNING REGIONAL COUNCIL, WHO ACTUALLY DEVELOPED THE THESE FORM BASED CODE AND WORKING WITH STAFF, WE WERE TRYING TO HONE IN AS TO TRY TO MINIMIZE ALL THE DEVIATIONS NEEDED, WHICH THEY DID ACHIEVE VERY WELL, SO THAT WE WERE NOW DOWN TO THREE WAIVERS. GOT IT. AND SORRY, THIS IS JUST THESE ARE NOT IN ANY PARTICULAR ORDER. THESE QUESTIONS BUT THE THE SO-CALLED CREEK DISTRICT CODE. HOW OLD IS THAT. IT WAS ADOPTED IN FEBRUARY OF 2023. THERE'S ONLY BEEN ONE OTHER DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS APPLIED THIS, THIS THIS CODE. AND THAT WAS YOUR CREEKSIDE HOTEL. OH, RIGHT. AND THEY DID ASK FOR SOME DEVIATIONS AS WELL. SAME PROCESS THEY'RE GOING THROUGH TODAY. THANK YOU. THE NOW MAYBE FOR THE APPLICANT. IT MIGHT SOUND SILLY, BUT BEAR WITH ME A MINUTE. SO I SAW ON ONE OF YOUR EARLY SLIDES, THERE WERE A LOT OF FOLKS INVOLVED WITH THE PROJECT. YOU HAD ENGINEERS AND ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS AND AND YOURSELF AND LAND PLANNING. I SUSPECT YOU GUYS ARE ARE PRETTY SHARP AT LAND PLANNING AND PROJECTS AND ALL THAT. RIGHT. SO I THINK YOU'VE PROBABLY PUT TOGETHER A PRETTY GOOD PROJECT. SOME FOLKS HAVE COMMENTED ON. THE ARCHITECTURE LOOKS GREAT, AND I ALSO THINK SO. WHAT I'M SAYING IS YOU'RE PRETTY SMART AT WHAT YOU DO. I THINK YOU OTHERWISE YOU WOULDN'T BE HERE. THE OUR CITY STAFF FOLKS. I THINK JODY AND TEAM ALSO PRETTY SHARP. THEY ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO REVIEW PROJECTS AND I THINK THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB WITH THIS. SO I THINK THAT'S WHY WE ARE DOWN TO SUCH A VERY, VERY SMALL COUPLE OF DETAILS TO TO CONSIDER. SO I APPRECIATE THAT ON ON BOTH SIDES OF THAT. SO THE PROJECT IS ALSO WITHIN THE CRA. AND I THINK ONE OF THE KEY THINGS, LIKE IF THERE WAS EVER A GREAT EXAMPLE OF A OF A PROJECT IN THE CRA, AS YOU, AS YOU ALL OFTEN MENTIONED, CHAIR, YOU KNOW, INVESTMENT REINVESTMENT IN THE DOWNTOWN, IN THE CRA AREA, THIS IS IT. YOU PROBABLY COULDN'T GET A BETTER PROJECT. SO I'LL JUST STATE THAT FOR THE FOR THE RECORD, IT'S MEETING ALL OF THE GOALS OF THE CRA, WHICH IS WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR AND HELP TO TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR. AND

[01:25:04]

ONE LAST QUESTION. WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF THE KINDRED BUILDING? SO IS IT. IT'S PART OF THE THE REDEVELOPMENT PARCEL OR NOT? YEAH. SO IT'S OUTSIDE THE AFFECTED AREA OF THE SITE PLAN.

IT IS PROPOSED TO REMAIN AND BE UTILIZED AS NECESSARY BY SEACOAST BAY. OKAY. BUT IT'S RIGHT. SO IT'S NOT PART OF THE, THE REDEVELOPMENT. AND IS IT INTENDED TO BE USED TO SUPPORT, I DON'T KNOW, EMPLOYEES AS PART OF THE REDEVELOPMENT IN THE FUTURE OR NOT NECESSARILY. YEAH.

THERE'S NO DEFINED PLANS FOR ITS USE. IT COULD BE UTILIZED AS SUPPORT FOR THE NEW HEADQUARTERS BUILDING. THE ORIGINAL INTENT BEHIND THIS REDEVELOPMENT WAS YOU HAD TWO SEPARATE OFFICE BUILDINGS, AND THEN THEY'RE TRYING TO COMBINE FOR ONE UNIFIED HEADQUARTERS, WHERE YOU DIDN'T HAVE PEOPLE HAVING TO WALK BACK AND FORTH FOR MEETINGS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO IT'S GOING TO REMAIN IT'S A VALUABLE ASSET AND IT STILL MAY BE USED IN THE FUTURE.

IT'S CERTAINLY GOING TO BE USED IN THE INTERIM UNTIL THE HEADQUARTERS IS COMPLETE. AS WE ALL KNOW, SEACOAST IS GROWING, SO THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE THAT IT GETS UTILIZED BY SEACOAST FOR THE FUTURE. OKAY. THANKS. APPRECIATE IT. YEAH. LET ME ASK A QUICK FOLLOW UP ON THAT. SO RIGHT NOW THAT THAT BUILDING IS OCCUPIED RIGHT. CORRECT. AND SO THAT'S JUST GOING TO CONTINUE.

THERE'S NO PLANS TO DO ANYTHING UNTIL SEACOAST EXPANDS. OR MAYBE SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS THAT WOULD CHANGE THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN. RIGHT? I MEAN, RIGHT NOW THIS IS A REDEVELOPMENT, NOT A DEVELOPMENT. SO THEY'RE JUST REDEVELOPING A PORTION. RIGHT.

AND THIS OTHER PORTION IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO WHATEVER IT'S BEEN DOING, RIGHT? THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. THAT'S I HAD I WAS CONFUSED ABOUT THAT MYSELF A LITTLE BIT IN TERMS OF WHAT WAS GOING ON THERE. GO AHEAD. YOU MENTIONED LIKE IT COULD BE MOST PRODUCTIVE AS A SUPPORT OFF SITE. IT AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THAT MIGHT MAKE GOOD SENSE THAT SOMEBODY OR IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A CONSTANT BACK AND FORTH TO THE OTHER BUILDING. RIGHT. THAT'S CERTAINLY, CERTAINLY A POSSIBILITY MOVING FORWARD.

MAKES SENSE. MARK, HAVE A FOLLOW UP. SURE. YEAH. JUST HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING, I'M THINKING OF QUESTIONS THAT GET THROWN AT ME ABOUT THE SETBACK. SO HYPOTHETICALLY, HOW DIFFICULT WOULD IT BE TO RE-ARCHITECT OR REDESIGN TO WHERE THE BUILDING KIND OF SLIPS BACK? AND NOW THE MAIN ENTRANCE COMES OFF A HUDSON. YOU HAVE YOUR YOUR PLAZA IN FRONT, AND SINCE YOU IDENTIFIED THE CUSTOMER PARKING, THE DAILY CUSTOMER PARKING WOULD BE IN THE PLAZA AREA WOULD HAVE THAT ALL IN THE FRONT. WELL, I THINK ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THERE IS THAT THAT THE CREEK CODE REQUIRES THAT BUILDING TO BE UP ON THE STREET, SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO ASK FOR A VARIANCE TO GET IT TO MOVE BACK, BECAUSE IT'S REQUIRED TO BE UP ON THE STREET. I THINK. JODIE, IS THAT THE CASE? THANKS. WELL, WE CAN CONFIRM THAT WITH JODIE, BUT I THINK THAT'S THE CASE. OKAY. VERY GOOD. NO PROBLEM THEN. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU.

JODIE, DO YOU STAFF HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR FURTHER INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED OR WANT OR. NO SIR OKAY. ALL RIGHT THEN AT THIS POINT I GUESS. IF THE I GUESS FROM THAT STANDPOINT, I GUESS WE FINISHED THE GENERAL PORTION OF IT. THE. AND WE'VE DELIBERATED IN PUBLIC,

[01:30:02]

BUT ONE THING, IT'S HARD TO HAVE A FAMILY RELATIONSHIP WITH OUT OF TOWN BANK. OKAY? WE HAVE

YOU HAVE TO GO ALL BUT WE HAVE HANDS ON RIGHT HERE WITH SEACOAST BANK. HANDS ON. YOU GOT A FAMILY BANK. YOU GOT EMPLOYEES THAT WE TALK TO. AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS A FAST THREE MINUTES. BUT ANYWAY, I JUST WANT TO JUST SAY WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU ALL ARE REALLY LOOKING INTO THAT, YOU KNOW, FOR THIS BANK TO BE BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO ENHANCE, IT'S GOING TO BRING MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR US IN MARTIN COUNTY. AND WE NEED WE NEED THIS. WE NEED THIS RIGHT NOW. WE NEED EVERYBODY TO HUG ONE ANOTHER BECAUSE THIS WORLD IS GETTING CRAZY AND WE NEED TO LOVE ON ONE ANOTHER. SO I'M MY, MY, MY, MY SUPPORT OF SEACOAST BANK. THANK YOU. THANKS. DUNCAN. HEARD. WHAT DO WE. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS DUNCAN HURD. I RESIDE AT. YOU NEED MY RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS. YOU HAVE IT. MY WIFE AND I OWN THE GUILT COMPLEX, A CUSTOM FRAMING SHOP AT 608 COLORADO. AND FOR YEARS I WAS HIGHLY INVOLVED. STILL AM, PARENTHETICALLY, BUT HIGHLY INVOLVED WITH A NONPROFIT THAT WORKS WITHIN THE CREEK DISTRICT.

I WAS PRESIDENT OF THAT ORGANIZATION. I WAS ALSO A VERY STRONG SUPPORTER OF THE REDEVELOPMENT. THE NEW ZONING CODES THAT WERE APPROVED IN 2023 FOR THIS AREA, SO THAT I'M PROVIDING THAT AS AS CONTEXT, WHEN I FIRST SAW THESE PLANS, MY JAW DROPPED QUITE LITERALLY.

I'M SURE YOU ALL ARE FAMILIAR WITH ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND COSTS AND THINGS, THINGS OF THIS NATURE. IT IS CLEAR TO ME THAT SEACOAST BANK IS SPARING NO EXPENSE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROPERTY. YOU SEE IT IN THE NUMBER OF WINDOWS AND THE NATURAL LIGHT THAT IS BEING INTRODUCED INTO THE SPACE, AND THAT THIRD FLOOR WRAPAROUND WITH ONLY WINDOW, YOU SEE IT IN THE RELIEF WITHIN THE LENGTH OF THE FACADE ON COLORADO AND FACING THE PARKING STRUCTURE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY EASY AND SIMPLE TO JUST DO A STRAIGHT BUILDING LIKE YOUR BANK OF AMERICA BUILDING, BUT THEY PROVIDE THAT SETBACK RELIEF, A VISUAL RELIEF THAT I FEEL IS VERY IMPORTANT. THE AMOUNT OF LANDSCAPING THAT'S GOING INTO THIS PROJECT IS COMMENDABLE, AND THE REDESIGN OF THE PATHWAYS, NOT ONLY THE WALKWAYS FOR PEDESTRIANS, BUT VEHICULAR PATHWAYS. IT'S ALL SO WELL THOUGHT OUT. AND AS A RESULT, WE OFTEN THINK OF THE EXISTING 1962 STRUCTURE AS AN ICONIC DESIGN OF THE TIME. AND THIS WILL UPDATE AND I THINK WILL BECOME AS ICONIC AS A GATEWAY INTO THE CITY. IT CERTAINLY SETS THE TONE, AND I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE STARING FORT LAUDERDALE IN THE FACE WITH HIGH RISES. YOU WOULDN'T ALLOW IT. AND I'M NOT GOING TO TALK TO THE SPECIFICS OF THE EXEMPTIONS THAT ARE BEING ASKED FOR, BECAUSE A THE THREE MINUTES GOES VERY QUICKLY, BUT OTHERS HAVE SPOKEN TO IT. BUT I THINK ALL OF US WILL AGREE THAT IN THE LAST 20 YEARS, THE WAY WE CONDUCT OUR LIVES AND THE WAY WE CONDUCT OUR BUSINESS HAS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY. CERTAINLY IN THE LAST 60 YEARS, WHICH IS THE AGE OF THIS BUILDING. AND IT SHOULD THEREFORE COME AS NO SURPRISE THAT SEACOAST IS ASKING AT THIS TIME TO REDEVELOP THIS PROPERTY AND PUT A MORE APPROPRIATELY DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED BUILDING AND USE. I HAD SO MUCH MORE TO SAY. ANYWAY, I AM STRONGLY, STRONGLY IN FAVOR OF THIS PROJECT AND I URGE YOU TO YOUR APPROVAL ON IT. THANK YOU. TED ASTOLFI. GOOD EVENING. I'M TED ASTOLFI. I'M HERE ON KIND OF TWO ACCOUNTS. I'M A VERY LONG TIME RESIDENT OF THE CITY OF STUART SINCE 1978, AND I ALSO REPRESENT THE ECONOMIC COUNCIL. AND I JUST HAVE TO SAY THAT THE ECONOMIC COUNCIL DOES NOT SUPPORT SPECIFIC PROJECTS LIKE THIS. SO I WILL SAY PERSONALLY, AS A LONG TIME CUSTOMER AND A LONG TIME STUART RESIDENT AND SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN ON THE CITY LPA AND PNC, I

[01:40:03]

IT'S NOT JUST THE MONEY THAT THEY GIVE TO THE NOT FOR PROFITS. IT'S THE TIME. IT'S IT'S, I CAN TELL YOU FROM RUNNING A NOT FOR PROFIT AND BEING INVOLVED IN NOT FOR PROFITS THROUGHOUT THIS COMMUNITY. IT IS NOT ONLY THE TREASURE YOU BRING, IT IS THE TIME YOU BRING. AND AS YOU ARE DOING HERE AND I WILL ECHO MR. BRECHBILL MR. JAMES COMMENTS EARLIER ABOUT. THANK YOU FOR LITERALLY YOUR ALL HERE TODAY, WHICH IS AMAZING FOR A BOARD LIKE THIS. AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN DOING THAT BECAUSE IT REALLY IS CRITICAL, I CAN TELL YOU FROM BEING INVOLVED IN THE CITY FOR SO LONG THAT YOU'RE HERE AS VOLUNTEERS DOING THESE THINGS, AND YOU HAD GREAT QUESTIONS, AND I SAT HERE AND LISTENED TO THEM. THEY WERE REALLY GOOD QUESTIONS. I GET THE THE SIDEWALK THING, BUT I THINK WHAT THEY'VE DONE WITH THE MEANDERING SIDEWALK AROUND COLORADO TO HELP AVOID THAT CORNER IS TREMENDOUS. WHAT THEY'RE DOING TO TIE IN HUDSON COURT TO KINDRED IS GOING TO BE IMMENSELY POSITIVE. AND GETTING THAT. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC THE CITY HAS TRIED TO CREATE FROM MLK AND DIXIE, WITH THE BOARDWALK ACROSS THE POND TO KINDRED STREET THERE, AND THEN CONTINUING DOWN REALLY CREATES A WHOLE NOTHER PEDESTRIAN PATHWAY WITHOUT BEING ON COLORADO, WHICH IS ANOTHER WONDERFUL BENEFIT OF THIS. AGAIN, LANDSCAPING IS A BIG THING. I THINK. BONNIE AND CLAY, YOU'RE RIGHT. I WATCHED YOU ARGUE ABOUT TREES UP HERE, AND IT'S GREAT BECAUSE WE DO. AND I REMEMBER WHEN CARL KRUGER WAS UP HERE AND HE ARGUED AGAINST PALM TREES. SO SO THANK YOU ALL. I'M A STRONG SUPPORTER OF THIS PROJECT, AND I THANK YOU FOR FOR A POSITIVE VOTE ON THIS. THANK YOU. WILLIAM CORBIN. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. WILLIAM CORBIN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT BOARD OF MARTIN COUNTY. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. VERY GREAT QUESTIONS. I ACTUALLY SPENT A BETTER PART OF A YEAR AS A INTERIM PLANNING DIRECTOR IN A PREVIOUS COMMUNITY. SO UNDERSTAND THE HARD WORK THAT GOES INTO THIS.

AND YOU KNOW, THE THE ANALYSIS THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. I JUST WANTED TO TO BRING UP A COUPLE OF POINTS. I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT MAY BE REPEATED, BUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE FOCUSED ON BUSINESSES AND JOBS AND CAPITAL INVESTMENT AND TAX BASE. AND THIS IS A PROJECT THAT WOULD ACHIEVE ALL OF THOSE THINGS. IN MY OPINION. IT'S MADE UP OF TWO ELEMENTS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, THAT IS, BUSINESS RETENTION AND EXPANSION. JUST BREATHE AND ATTRACTION. AND WITHIN THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF, YOU KNOW, SPACES AND TYPES OF BUILDINGS AND INDUSTRIES AND HEADQUARTERS CROSSES ALL INDUSTRIES AND HEADQUARTER TYPES OF ESTABLISHMENTS. AND THEY'RE VERY IMPORTANT TO A COMMUNITY.

IN MY OPINION, THE IMPORTANCE OF HEADQUARTERS CANNOT BE OVERSTATED. AND SEACOAST BEING ONE OF THOSE FOR THIS COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW, STUART MARTIN COUNTY, YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S IT'S REALLY EXCELLENT WHAT THEY'VE DONE, WHAT THEY'VE GIVEN BACK TO THE COMMUNITY AND WHAT THEY CONTINUE TO PLAN TO GIVE BACK IN THE YEARS AHEAD. HOPEFULLY SMART GROWTH IS SOMETHING THAT I WANTED TO TOUCH ON, PARTICULARLY WITH THE CRB AND WHAT YOU ALL ARE LOOKING AT AND SMART DEVELOPMENT, REALLY IMPORTANT CONCEPT. OF COURSE, YOU ALL KNOW THIS IN AND IT'S IMPORTANT GOAL OF MODERN PLANNING. AND I BELIEVE THAT THE PROPOSED PROJECT ACHIEVES THESE GOALS WITH THE PEDESTRIAN AMENITIES, THE ENHANCED LANDSCAPING, THE OPEN GATHERING SPACE AS WELL AS, YOU KNOW, NOT TO MENTION THE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS AND THE ACCESS AND INTERPERSONAL CONNECTIVITY, WHICH IS SO IMPORTANT. SO, YOU KNOW, THE PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT, IN MY OPINION, REACHES THOSE MULTIPLE GOALS RELATED TO SOUND PLANNING STANDARDS AS WELL AS POSITIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OUTCOMES. SO I THINK ALL IN ALL, THIS IS

[01:45:02]

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK SHERIFF BUDDENSIEG. GOOD EVENING, BOARD MEMBERS. I KNOW YOU'RE YOU'RE WORKING FOR FREE AND IT'S A LOT OF WORK YOU PUT INTO THIS, SO I APPRECIATE YOU GIVING ME A MINUTE. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO RING THAT BELL ON ME, SO I'LL BE QUICK. THE PRESENTERS DID A GOOD JOB ALREADY OF KIND OF HIGHLIGHTING THE PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERNS THAT I'M GOING TO HIT, AND I THINK CHIEF IS GOING TO HIT. ALSO, LOOK, I'M A MAN OF UNIFORMITY AND CODES AND LAWS AND ALL THAT. I'M ONE OF THE ONLY ONES WEARING A UNIFORM IN THE ROOM.

AND I AGREE WITH WITH WHAT THE CITY'S DONE TO TRY TO HAVE A UNIFORM STANDARD, SPECIFICALLY IN REGARDS TO THE FRONT DOOR FRONTING US ONE. BUT IN THIS CASE, I THINK PUBLIC SAFETY OUTWEIGHS THE THE CODE AND THE UNIFORMITY THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT. TIME AND DISTANCE IN OUR BUSINESSES, OUR FRIEND, AND HAVING THE FRONT DOOR. IF IT WERE TO HAVE TO TO FRONT US.

ONE, I WOULD BE CONCERNED, AS YOUR SHERIFF, ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC AND POTENTIAL FOR TRAFFIC CRASHES, SPECIFICALLY VEHICLE VERSUS PEDESTRIAN. AND THEN IRONICALLY, I THOUGHT BANK ROBBERS WERE A THING OF THE PAST. BUT SEACOAST THIS YEAR HAS ACTUALLY BEEN THE VICTIM OF A BANK ROBBERY. AND IT WAS ONE OF THEIR BANKS, MY BANK IN HOBE SOUND, WHERE THEIR DOOR DIDN'T FRONT US ONE. BUT THE INGRESS EGRESS WAS SO EASY FOR THE BANK ROBBER. THEY CAME AND HIT THE BANK AND LEFT. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO PREVENT WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS BANK.

THEY'VE SET THAT BANK UP WHERE IF A CRIMINAL COMES IN, THERE'S GOING TO BE EASIER FOR US TO SPOT THEM, DO SURVEILLANCE ON THEM, AND BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, DETER THEM FROM COMING THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. SO I APPRECIATE AGAIN WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. I VOCALIZING MY SUPPORT ON THE PUBLIC SAFETY SIDE OF WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR. AND I KNOW I'M JUST TALKING, BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL ANSWER THEM IF THAT'S APPROPRIATE.

LAWYER I'M NOT SURE IF I CAN DO THAT. SO WITH THAT, I'LL SEE MY TIME BACK TO YOU. THANK YOU.

THAT'S ALL FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. AND JUST BRIEFLY, IF I COULDIF JUST ADD THANK YOU FOR FOR YOUR TIME TODAY FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SIDE, SHERIFF BUDENSIEK ALREADY TOUCHED ON THE PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES, WHICH WE ALL CONSIDER. I WILL SAY THAT ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON AROUND 5 P.M. I WAS ON US ONE RIGHT IN FRONT OF MAYFIELD PLAZA, WHICH IS JUST A STONE'S THROW FROM THIS, THIS AREA HERE. AND A VEHICLE CRASH OCCURRED AS A PERSON WAS DRIVING OUT OF THE PLAZA, A T-BONED A CAR IN THE CENTER LANE ON US ONE, CAUSING BOTH CARS TO SPIN OUT. ONE OF THEM WENT BACK UP ONTO THE SIDEWALK AND INTO THE SHRUBBERY IN FRONT OF THE PLAZA. SO WE DO HAVE WE KNOW THE SPEED ON US. ONE. WE'RE TRYING TO CONTROL THAT, BUT CERTAINLY PEDESTRIAN SAFETY. THE SIDEWALK FEATURE WE WE LIKE PUT PUSHING THE THE PEDESTRIAN, YOU KNOW, DOWN TO KINDRED AND ON THE SIDE STREETS OVER THERE. SO FOR ALL THE REASONS WE TALKED ABOUT, IT COMES DOWN TO SAFETY FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND THE POLICE RESPONSE TO TO THE BANK, WHICH REALLY DOESN'T GARNER A LOT OF POLICE SERVICE GENERALLY. BUT WHEN WE DO GO THERE, WE WANT TO HAVE THE BEST ODDS TO TAKE CARE OF THE CUSTOMERS AND THE COMMUNITY. SO ANY QUESTIONS OF ME AS THE CHIEF, IF I COULD JUST FOLLOW UP WITH A QUICK ONE? SURE. JUST TO REMIND YOU THAT YOU'RE STILL UNDER AS A WITNESS, STILL UNDER OATH, A QUESTION FOR FOR OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT COLLEAGUES THAT THIS THE DISCUSSION ABOUT AN ENTRANCE LIKE REALLY CLOSE TO US ONE AND THAT BEING AN ISSUE, I GUESS IS THERE A DATA TO SUPPORT THAT? THAT WOULD BE, LET'S SAY, I GUESS, A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF CRIME OR IT MAKES SENSE TO PUT THE ENTRANCE, I GUESS, ON THE INSIDE VERSUS NEXT TO US. ONE IS THERE, IS THERE A DATA TO SUPPORT THAT. SO I DON'T HAVE I DON'T HAVE DATA IN FRONT OF ME TO SUPPORT IT. BUT AS I AS WE HAD OUR LIEUTENANT REVIEW THIS THROUGH CRIME PREVENTION THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN, THE IDEA IS THE TRAFFIC ON US, ONE IS FREE FLOWING. IF SOMEONE WERE TO PULL UP ON US, ONE RUN IN THAT DOOR, RUN BACK OUT, THEY COULD BE OUT TO I-95 NORTH OR SOUTH ON US ONE WITHIN SECONDS. BY NOT HAVING THAT ENTRANCE THERE, WE ELIMINATE ALL THAT, REDUCE SOME OF THE PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC INSTEAD OF HAVING TO COME DOWN OR COME AROUND THE BUILDING TO THE DOOR THERE, YOU'RE DOING YOUR BUSINESS ON THE THE PARKING LOT SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE THAT THAT NICE ENTRYWAY. AND AND SO FOR US, IT MAKES IT EASIER THE SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS, MORE WITNESSES WHO COULD MOBILIZE AND CALL THE POLICE AND SAY, OH, WE SAW THE PERSON GET INTO A BLACK CAR. THEY RAN TOWARDS THE PARKING LOT OR THE PARKING GARAGE, AND THEY WENT OUT TO KINDRED. IT GIVES US ADDITIONAL LEADS AND ADDITIONAL FOLLOW UP. BUT I THINK FROM THE SAFETY PERSPECTIVE, YOU KNOW, PEDESTRIAN SAFETY IS ALSO CONSIDERATION ALONG US, ONE WITH THE TRAFFIC. AND IT'S JUST PRETTY RANDOM AT TIMES. THANKS. ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU. I HEAR HIM COMING BACK. THERE YOU GO. OVER TO YOU, SIR. THANKS. SORRY ABOUT THAT. YOU WANT ME RUNNING A MEETING? I GOT A TWO HOUR LIMIT, I'M TELLING YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANKS. APPRECIATE IT. THE. AT THIS POINT, THEN WE HAVE A MOTION. WE HAVE A SECOND. DO WE HAVE BOARD MEMBERS? HAVE ANY COMMENT OR ANY FURTHER THING THEY WANT TO ADD? ONE LAST THING IS, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES I TALK TOO MUCH, SO

[01:50:04]

ONE MORE. YES, I DO HAVE A COUPLE COMMENTS THAT I JUST WANTED TO SAY, JUST GIVEN THE NATURE OF MY CAREER, WHEN I LOOK AT THESE PLANS, I TEND TO JUST REALLY GET INTO THE WEEDS OF THEM AND FOCUS ON THE TRANSPORTATION ASPECT AND THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE ASPECT.

SO I JUST HAD FOUR COMMENTS THAT I WANTED TO MAKE. THAT SORT OF LED MY DECISION TODAY.

THE FIRST ONE IS ABOUT THAT BIG, SCARY EAST SIDE OF THE SITE THAT WE'RE NOT TOUCHING RIGHT NOW. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I NOTICED IS IT'S SET BACK FROM US ONE AND SET BACK FROM COLORADO AVENUE. SO I'M NOT SUPER SCARED ABOUT WHAT COULD HAPPEN THERE. I DON'T THINK IT COULD BE ANYTHING TOO CRAZY JUST BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE THE VISIBILITY THAT THE PROPOSED NEW BUILDINGS DO. NUMBER TWO, YOU'RE MAKING SOME GREAT IMPROVEMENTS TO NOT ONLY THE ROADWAY, BUT THE PEDESTRIAN NETWORK ON YOUR SITE. YOU'RE IMPROVING CIRCULATION AND YOU'RE MAKING IT SAFER. AND AT AN INTERSECTION THAT DOESN'T FEEL VERY SAFE, I COMMEND THAT.

IT'S ALSO. THE NETWORK THAT YOU'RE PROPOSING, AND THE CIRCULATION THAT YOU'RE PROPOSING ARE A KEY TRAIT OF THE FABRIC OF A HISTORIC DOWNTOWN. SO YOU ARE MAINTAINING THAT SORT OF GRIDDED NETWORK THAT WE TYPICALLY SEE IN A HISTORIC DOWNTOWN. ANOTHER POINT IS THAT THIS INTERSECTION IS PROBABLY OUR MOST PROMINENT GATEWAY INTO OUR DOWNTOWN. I WOULD I WOULD BE BOLD ENOUGH TO SAY RIGHT NOW, IT'S NOT NOT YOUR SITE, BUT THE INTERSECTION IS NOT VERY BEAUTIFUL. IT'S NOT VERY PLEASANT. IT'S NOT SAYING, HEY, THIS IS DOWNTOWN STUART. YOU'RE IN A SPECIAL PLACE. IT'S ALSO OFTEN CONGESTED AND YOU CAN GET STUCK THERE FOR A WHILE ON A BAD DAY. AND THE WAY THAT THIS BUILDING IS FRONTING THE STREET, AS A PERSON WHO WORKS IN TRANSPORTATION, WHEN YOU HAVE THINGS ON THE SIDE OF YOUR STREET LIKE TREES AND BUILDINGS, IT VISUALLY NARROWS THE STREET AND PEOPLE NATURALLY JUST DRIVE SLOWER. AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT FOR, YOU KNOW, US. ONE KANNER HIGHWAY. AND THE LAST THING I WANTED TO SAY, JUST SO I CAN SAY SOMETHING ABOUT TREES, IS THAT AND YOU GUYS HAVE HEARD ME JUST COMPLAIN OVER AND OVER AGAIN ABOUT LANDSCAPE PLANS THAT COME THROUGH HERE. I HAVE NO NOTES. YOU'RE PROPOSING REAL SHADE TREES. YOU'RE PROPOSING A LOT OF NATIVES, AND I COMMEND YOU FOR IT. I JUST WANT TO TAKE CREDIT FOR THAT BECAUSE I WAS THE ONE THAT. NICE TRY I WAS GOING TO TRY. ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT. WELL THEN WITH THAT, LET'S LET'S TAKE A VOTE. WE'LL DO ROLL CALL BOARD MEMBER WHELAN. YES, YES. WHALEN. WALL, COULD YOU SPEAK INTO THE MIC? I'M SO SORRY. I COULDN'T HEAR YOU. BOARD MEMBER WHALEN. YEAH. YES. BOARD MEMBER. LAUGHLIN. YES.

BOARD MEMBER. JAMES. YES. VICE CHAIR. MOSER. YES. CHAIR. BRECKSVILLE. YES. BOARD MEMBER.

SHARE. ENTHUSIASTICALLY. YES. AND BOARD MEMBER. MONROE. YES. ALL RIGHT, I APPRECIATE IT. I DO WANT TO GO ON RECORD AGAIN AS SAYING THAT I LOVE THIS BOARD. YOU GUYS SHOW UP, YOU TAKE THE TIME, YOU DO THE JOB. I APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A QUICK TWO MINUTE BREAK SO EVERYBODY CAN LEAVE BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR THE BUDGET. RIGHT. SO TRACY YOU CAN STAY. BUT YEAH WE'LL TAKE ABOUT A FIVE MI HAVEH THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE READY. I'M SO SORRY. I JUST NEED YOU TO SPEAK INTO THE MIC. I CAN'T HEAR BOARD MEMBER MOSER.

THAT'S WHAT I SEE DOWN HERE WITH THE MICROPHONE. OH, HERE. I'M SORRY. THAT'S RIGHT. I'M PRETTY QUIET. ANYWAYS, THAT'S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION. OH, I HAD I HAD PLENTY OF I HAD A LITTLE

[01:55:03]

YEAH. SO AND THEN I THINK ALRIGHT WE'RE WE'RE BACK ON HERE READY TO GO. SO BUT ALL OF

[3. CRA BUDGET AND CIP FOR FY 2026 (RC): RESOLUTION No. 06-2025 CRA; A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (CRA) OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA ADOPTING THE CRA BUDGET OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA, FOR FISCAL YEAR (FY) BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2025, AND ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2026, AND APPROPRIATING CAPITAL BUDGET FOR FY 2026 AND PROVIDING FOR A FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR PROJECTS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA BOUNDARIES; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.]

GOOD EVENING. THE CRA DIRECTOR. FOR THE RECORD, I PROVIDED THE UPDATED BUDGET SHEETS TO ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS. I'VE HAD A SMALL CHANGE SINCE THE ITEM WAS PUBLISHED. IT'S REGARDING THE RIVERSIDE PARK IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. THERE'S A REMAINING BALANCE THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION OR BY THE CRA BOARD LAST YEAR. SO WE JUST HAD TO MOVE THAT TO THIS YEAR'S FISCAL YEAR. SINCE THERE IS A BALANCE REMAINING. AND WE ALSO HAD TO INCREASE THE THE REVENUE SIDE TO BALANCE THE BUDGET. IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AN EXPENSE FOR THE RIVERSIDE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, AND I'LL EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE AS WE GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION. SO I KNOW WE DO HAVE SOME NEW MEMBERS. SO THE THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF THE REVENUE IS TAX INCREMENT FINANCING KNOWN AS THE TIFF. SO WHEN THE CR IS ESTABLISHED, A BASE YEAR PROPERTY VALUE IS SET. AND FOR OUR CRA THE BASE VALUE IS 299 MILLION. WHEN THE CRA WAS ESTABLISHED. SO. AND AS THE PROPERTY VALUE INCREASES OVER TIME, THE ADDITIONAL PROPERTY TAX REVENUE IS GENERATED ABOVE THE BASE VALUE, AND THAT IS KNOWN AS THE INCREMENT VALUE. AND THEN WE APPLIED THE CITY'S MILLAGE RATE TO THAT AND THE COUNTY'S MILLAGE RATE. AND THAT'S WHAT GETS CONTRIBUTED TO THE CRA TRUST FUND. AND THIS IS WHAT WE REINVEST BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT IMPROVEMENTS. SO AS I MENTIONED, THE THE CRA BASE VALUE IS $299 MILLION. WHEN THE CRA WAS ESTABLISHED, THE CURRENT TAXABLE VALUE FOR THE FOR THE CRA IS $940 MILLION. SO THAT GIVES US AN INCREMENT OF $641 MILLION. AND THEN WHEN YOU APPLY THE 4.9 MILLAGE RATE, AND THEN THE AND THE COUNTY'S MILLAGE RATE. SO THERE'S A TAX REVENUE OF 4.9, I'M SORRY, 2.9 MILLION THAT GETS CONTRIBUTED FROM GENERAL FUNDS. AND THEN 4 MILLION GETS CONTRIBUTED FROM THE COUNTY'S FUNDS OF 6.9 MILLION OF THE CRA TRUST FUND FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR. BUT IF I JUST MAKE ONE COMMENT, JUST AND THIS IS WHAT WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT, AND THANKS TO PINAL AND SOME OTHERS, WE'VE BEEN EDUCATED ON THIS. BUT YOU KNOW, THAT COUNTY PAYMENT TO CRA IS $4 MILLION. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE GET TO KEEP BECAUSE OF THE CRA. SO WHEN YOU START LOOKING AT CRA THAT IS VALUABLE TO US.

IT IT'S VALUABLE AS AN AS A WAY OF RAISING MONEY FOR FOR THE CITY. ULTIMATELY THAT DOESN'T GO TO THE COUNTY. AND THEN THEY DECIDE WHAT THEY DO WITH IT. THIS THAT'S MONEY. IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOME RULE, THAT'S HOME RULE MONEY RIGHT THERE. THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO SPEND.

CORRECT. THIS CHART HERE SHOWS THE BREAKDOWN OF THE CRA REVENUE FROM ALL THE SOURCES.

AS I AS WE MENTIONED, THE THE COUNTY'S TIF CONTRIBUTION IS $4 MILLION. CITY'S CONTRIBUTION FROM GENERAL FUND IS 2.9 MILLION. AND THEN ADDITIONALLY WE HAVE OTHER SOURCES OF REVENUE, INCLUDING $12.9 MILLION OF GRANT, $335,000 IN INTEREST REVENUE. WE HAVE A WAY SIGNING PROGRAM THAT GENERATES A SMALL AMOUNT OF $2,700 AND AND THEN TO BALANCE THE BUDGET, WE ALSO HAVE A SAVINGS ACCOUNT, WHICH IS CONSIDER OUR FUND BALANCE. SO WE TAKE SOME MONEY FROM THERE, WHICH IS ABOUT $488,000 TO BALANCE OUR BUDGET WITH THE EXPENSE. SO THAT'S THAT MAKES UP OUR BUDGET OF $20.5 MILLION FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR 2026. CAN I JUST ASK YOU, CAN I JUST ASK YOU A QUESTION THERE? SO THE KIND OF HIGH LEVEL JUST TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND IT. SO THE CRA WITH LET'S SAY ROUGHLY, YEAH, AS MARK WAS SAYING, ABOUT 6 MILLION IN THE TIF FUNDS, BASICALLY YOU AND YOUR LARGE TEAM, YOU TURN 6 MILLION AND YOU TURN THAT INTO GO GET 13 MORE MILLION CORRECT FOR A TOTAL OF THE 20 ISH OR SO.

CORRECT. THAT'S NOT BAD WORK. THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE ALL KNOW THAT. SO

[02:00:01]

WE'LL ADDRESS THOSE COMMENTS AND RESUBMIT THAT IN JANUARY. AND THEN AGAIN THEY HAVE 90 DAYS TO REVIEW AND WE EXPECT TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM BY APRIL OR MAY OF 2026. SO THERE'S THAT PROCESS GOING ON. WE'RE ALSO COORDINATING WITH FPL TO RELOCATE THE OVERHEAD UTILITIES THAT'S CURRENTLY CONFLICTING WITH OUR DESIGN. SO WE'VE UPDATED DRAWINGS FROM FPL AND THOSE WILL BE SUBMITTED AT THE END OF THIS MONTH. SO THAT WAY WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH ELECTRICAL PLANS FOR THIS PROJECT. WE ALSO ANTICIPATE TO FINALIZE THE PLANS. AND SO ONCE THESE ITEMS ARE ADDRESSED, WE WE WILL BRING THAT BRING IT TO THE BOARD NEXT YEAR AND THEN WE'LL FINALIZE THE PLANS, GOD FORBID, IN SUMMER 2026 AND THEN START CONSTRUCTION IN FALL 2026.

AND YOU CAN SEE IT IN YOUR BUDGET SHEET. THERE'S A BUDGET OF $10 MILLION FOR PARK IMPROVEMENTS AND $700,000 FOR SKATE PARK, FOR A TOTAL OF $10.7 MILLION FOR THIS PROJECT.

AND NEXT IS THE DOWNTOWN UNDERGROUNDING PROJECT AND STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENT ON SEMINOLE STREET THAT'S UNDERGOING RIGHT NOW. AND IT'S $8.7 MILLION PROJECT. WE CONTRACTED WITH BURKHART TO CONSTRUCT THAT PROJECT. KIMLEY-HORN IS PROVIDING THE OVERSIGHT SERVICES. WE STARTED THAT PROJECT IN MAY 2025. WE REGULARLY MEET WITH THE MERCHANTS AND RESIDENTS WITHIN THAT. WITHIN THAT PROJECT AREA, IT'S CALLED MONTHLY COFFEE WITH CREW MEETINGS, AND WE'VE IDENTIFIED TEMPORARY DELIVERY ZONES THAT YOU PROBABLY NOTICE THAT WE HAVE ON FLAGLER AND ALSO ON COLORADO. CURRENTLY, THERE ARE FINALIZING THEIR DIRECTIONAL DRILLING AND INSTALLING THE CONDUIT. WE DO EXPECT TO COMPLETE THE THE SIDEWALK AND CURB ON SEMINOLE AND STREET LIGHTS AND IRRIGATION BY NOVEMBER 2026. SO BY 25, 2025, THE LANDSCAPING PORTION WILL BE REMAINING BECAUSE THERE WOULD BE A CONFLICT WITH THE OVERHEAD UTILITY. SO WE'LL DO THE LANDSCAPING ON SEMINOLE STREET NEXT YEAR. WHEN WHEN WE ARE WHEN THOSE POLES ARE REMOVED. SO WE EXPECT TO COMPLETE THE WHOLE PROJECT AS A WHOLE BY NOVEMBER 2026. ALL ALONG THAT LINE ON SEMINOLE. WHAT I WAS BACK THERE JUST YESTERDAY, I GUESS IT WAS. AND NAPOLEON LIVELY, YOU CAN'T GET TO THEIR

[02:05:01]

DO THEY REIMBURSE THEIR CUSTOMERS FOR THE NO. WE'VE HAD A GOOD RELATIONSHIP. THEY WE'VE WE'VE BEEN COORDINATING WITH THEM AND THERE HAS BEEN NO ISSUES. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. JUST CURIOUS. AS I MENTIONED, ALL THE CONDUIT WORK WILL BE DONE BY END OF THIS YEAR. WE'LL START ENERGIZING AND THE UNDERGROUNDING SYSTEM. SO BETWEEN NOVEMBER 2025 AND NOVEMBER 2026 IS THAT'S WHEN WE'RE GOING TO START SWITCHING THE CUSTOMERS FROM OVERHEAD TO UNDERGROUND. ALSO REMOVING ALL THE POLES. AND THAT DOES TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME BECAUSE WE HAVE TO COORDINATE WITH FPL, COMCAST AND AT&T. AND THEN WE'LL FINISH OUT OUR PUNCH LIST AND FINAL RESTORATION BY END OF NEXT YEAR. SO THERE IS SOME UNEXPENDED FUNDS OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD. SO THAT UNDERGROUNDING PROJECT FROM END TO END IN TERMS OF LIKE IT WAS 1 OR 2 BLOCKS. THE UNDERGROUNDING IS SEMINOLE STREETSCAPE, OSCEOLA STREET, ALSO COLORADO FROM SEMINOLE TO SORRY COLORADO. YES, FROM SEMINOLE TO FLAGLER AND THEN SAINT LUCIE, FROM SEMINOLE TO FLAGLER. SO IT'S A WHOLE ALL RIGHT. SO IT'S PROBABLY MAYBE THAT'S 3 OR 4 BLOCKS OF FOUR BLOCKS. RIGHT. IS THAT TOTALS AROUND 8 MILLION. 8 MILLION.

WE'RE UNDERGROUNDING. AND SO IT'S LIKE 2 MILLION A STRETCH. GOT IT. THANKS. I THINK IT'S NOT IT'S NOT 2 MILLION A STRETCH. I THINK A BIG PORTION OF THE BUDGET IS PROBABLY GOING TO THE SEMINOLE SEMINOLE STREETSCAPE. RIGHT. BECAUSE THEY'RE TOTALLY REDOING THE STREET. YOU'LL SEE THAT EVERYWHERE ELSE WILL BE. THE STREETS WILL BE CHEAPER, LIKE THE AVERAGE WOULD BE CHEAPER BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST UNDERGROUNDING. THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT WE DO HAVE SOME UNEXPENDED FUNDS FOR THAT PROJECT. SO THAT'S WHY YOU PROBABLY SEE THAT IN THE BUDGET FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR. WE STILL HAVE TO PAY THE UTILITY FEES FOR AT&T AND COMCAST. AND SO THAT'S THE BUDGET THAT YOU HAVE IN FISCAL YEAR 2026. RIVERSIDE PARK PROJECT. THIS IS THE PROJECT JUST NORTH OF THE OLD BRIDGE WHERE WE'RE INSTALLING NEW SIDEWALK ON STREET PARKING, CROSSWALKS, STREET LIGHTS, LANDSCAPING AND MILLING AND RESURFACING. IT'S A $2.7 MILLION PROJECT. WE RECEIVED A GRANT FOR THIS PROJECT. SO THIS PROJECT IS A SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETED. WE STARTED BACK IN AUGUST 2024. WE DID THE THE WALKTHROUGH LAST WEEK AND THEY'RE FINISHING UP ALL THEIR PUNCH LIST. ANY ANY OUTSTANDING ITEMS WILL BE FINISHED BY MID OCTOBER, AND WE PLAN TO CLOSE OUT THIS GRANT BY NOVEMBER 2025.

AGAIN, THERE'S A REMAINING BALANCE THAT WE DID NOT SPEND YET, SO I NEED TO MOVE THAT MONEY OVER TO 2026 IN ORDER TO FINISH OUT THE PROJECT THIS YEAR. PROJECT LIFT THIS IS A FULLY FUNDED PROJECT. FULLY. WE RECEIVED A GRANT FOR THIS PROJECT. WE RECENTLY AWARDED PROCTOR CONSTRUCTION TO DEMO AND CONSTRUCT A NEW BUILDING. IT'LL SERVE AS A JOB TRAINING CENTER. THE EXISTING BUILDING IS PLANNED TO BE DEMOLISHED THIS MONTH, AND THE CONSTRUCTION IS ANTICIPATED TO BE COMPLETED BY SEPTEMBER 2026. TO MEET OUR GRANT DEADLINE. AND BECAUSE IT'S A REIMBURSEMENT GRANT, WE HAVE TO BUDGET FOR THIS PROJECT AND SPEND THE MONEY UPFRONT AND REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT. SO AGAIN, YOU'LL SEE THAT IN THE CIP. STATEMENT.

NEIGHBORHOOD DRAINAGE AND SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT PROJECT IS BUDGETED FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR.

WE RECEIVED $1.4 MILLION FOR DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS. WE'RE PROPOSING TO COMBINE THE SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS FOR COST EFFICIENCY. WE'VE HAD SEVERAL NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS ABOUT THIS PROJECT, AND IN THE PAST, WE'VE RECEIVED PUSHBACK ON SIDEWALK BEING PLACED ON FIFTH STREET AND CORTEZ AVENUE. THE RESIDENTS DON'T WANT SIDEWALK IN THEIR FRONT YARD. THEY PREFER TO HAVE THE SIDEWALK ON THE NORTH SIDE OF FIFTH STREET, WHICH IS A COMMERCIAL SIDE. SO AND THEY'VE ALSO EXPRESSED A DESIRE TO HAVE A NARROW STREET ON FIFTH STREET AND HAVE THE SIDEWALK ON THE WEST SIDE OF CORTEZ AVENUE. SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO ADDRESS A LOT OF THEIR COMMENTS, AND WE DID PRESENT THE PROJECT TO THE CRA BOARD. I THINK, IN 2024, AND WE DID NOT RECEIVE THE SUPPORT FROM THE

[02:10:03]

AND SO YOU CAN CONNECT THE SIDEWALK TO THE ROAD. I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS ALL THE TIME.

WITH FIRE YOU CAN CONNECT THE WITH THE HARDSCAPE SO THAT THEY CAN PARK THEIR TRUCK WHERE THE HYDRANT IS. THOSE NARROWER STREETS ARE WORKING GREAT ON THE NORTH SIDE OF EAST OCEAN.

SOME OF THEM ARE ONLY 12FT WIDE AND THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS. SO YEAH, I SUPPORT THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S DESIRE FOR THE EIGHT FEET. NOT THAT THAT MATTERS RIGHT NOW. SORRY I KEEP GOING, BUT THE ONLY THING IS, WE DID REACH OUT TO FIRE DEPARTMENT, AND FOR THIS PARTICULAR STREET, THEY DID NOT SUPPORT A NARROW STREET. SO WE ARE GOING TO KEEP A TEN FOOT TRAVEL LANE, BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ON STREET PARKING. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PARALLEL ON STREET PARKING SIDEWALK. SO THAT WILL THAT WILL HELP TO REDUCE THE THE, YOU KNOW, THE FEEL OF THE STREET, OKAY. AND DRAINAGE AND SWALES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO I THINK IT WILL FEEL NARROW. SO THAT SO THAT HASN'T BEEN DESIGNED YET BECAUSE YOU'RE STILL GETTING THE LIKE INPUT ON WHAT WHAT'S GOING WHERE FIRST. RIGHT. EXACTLY. AND THIS WILL BE THE THE MEETING COMING UP ON THURSDAY. WE WANT TO FINALIZE IT AND THEN BRING THAT PLANS AT THE JOINT MEETING NEXT MONTH. SO YOU WILL SEE THE FINAL FINAL LIKE OUTCOME FROM THE MEETING AT THE JOINT MEETING. THE TREE INFILL PROGRAM, THE FAMOUS PROGRAM IN THE RIGHT OF WAY. SO WE DID GET A SCOPE FROM KIMLEY-HORN TO HELP US PREPARE THIS MASTER PLAN. SO THE FIRST THING WE'LL DO IS EVALUATE AND COLLECT DATA OF THE CURRENT CONDITION OF EXISTING CANOPY COVERAGE WITHIN THE CRA. THEN WE'LL EVALUATE, YOU KNOW, AREAS WHERE ADDITIONAL TREES ARE NEEDED AND WHERE WE CAN SUPPLEMENT THE EXISTING CANOPY COVERAGE. WE'LL PREPARE A CRA TREE INFILL MASTER PLAN WITH THE PREFERRED TREE SPECIES LIST. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY TREE SPECIES THAT YOU WANT US TO CONSIDER, DO LET ME KNOW AHEAD OF TIME. BUT WE WILL BRING THIS MASTER PLAN AND THE TREE SPECIES LIST TO THE BOARD FOR CONSIDERATION. THEN WE'LL PRIORITIZE THE AREAS AND START PHASING FOR IMPLEMENTATION. WE DO HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, ONCE WE PRIORITIZE THE AREA, THEN WE'LL START LOOKING AT THIS SITE SPECIFIC BECAUSE WE HAVE TO CONSIDER UTILITY CONFLICTS. AND IF THERE ARE ANY DRAIN INLETS, STREET LIGHTS, DRAINAGE, YOU KNOW, JUST MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S SPACE AVAILABLE TO TO PUT ADDITIONAL TREES. AND THEN ONCE WE FINALIZE THE LANDSCAPE PLAN, THEN WE'LL GO OUT FOR BID AND AWARD THE CONTRACT AND FINALLY IMPLEMENT THE PROJECT BY PHASES. SO IN THE IN THE BUDGET, YOU'LL SEE THAT I HAVE A LINE ITEM FOR DESIGN AND THEN IMPLEMENTATION. AND WE'LL IMPLEMENT IT IN PHASES. SO THAT'S WHY I HAVE IT OUT. FIVE YEAR PLAN. LOVE IT. ANOTHER ITEM THAT YOU SEE IN THE BUDGET IS THE COURTESY DOCK WAIVER WAIVE ATTENUATOR, AND THE AMOUNT OF $425,000. THIS IS PARTIALLY FUNDED THROUGH FIND TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEES AND CRA. THIS PROJECT IS BEING LED BY UTILITIES AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS. SO I'M JUST LEARNING ABOUT THIS PROJECT MYSELF. THE EXISTING DOWNTOWN DOCKING FACILITY, IT SUFFERED, YOU KNOW, A TREMENDOUSLY THROUGH THROUGH STORM EVENTS OVER THE YEARS. SO CRA WOULD PARTICIPATE IN PARTIALLY FUNDING A NEW COURTESY DOCK THAT WOULD BETTER WITHSTAND THE STORM EVENTS. THIS WILL BE A FREE AND OPEN DOCK, AND IT WILL

[02:15:05]

YOU KNOW, INCREASING THE NUMBER OF VISITORS TO OUR DOWNTOWN DISTRICT. I'VE NOTICED, YOU KNOW, I'VE WATCHED THAT EVOLVE OVER TIME, AND THEY KEEP PUTTING IN DIFFERENT THINGS.

AND THEY'VE GOT LIKE GRAPHITE PLATES, AND THEN THEY PUT DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROLLERS ON THERE AND THEY ALL GET DESTROYED. THE NEXT STORM THAT COMES THROUGH. YEAH. I MEAN, WHAT TYPE OF ADVICE ARE WE GETTING? WHAT TYPE OF ENGINEERS ARE WE GETTING DESIGNS FROM FOR FOR SOMETHING THAT'S MUCH, MUCH MORE HARDY THAN WHAT WE'VE BEEN USING. LIKE I SAID, THIS IS BEING IMPLEMENTED. THIS IS BEING INITIATED BY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. SO IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION ON THIS PROJECT, I CAN HAVE A SEPARATE PRESENTATION AS FAR AS WHO'S DESIGNING IT AND JUST THE HISTORY OF THIS PROJECT. JUST CURIOUS, BECAUSE SURE, EVERYTHING THAT'S GONE IN THERE HAS BEEN. YEAH. THE NEXT TIME A STORM COMES THROUGH. SURE. YEAH.

AND I THINK THAT THERE WAS A PLAN TO TO DREDGE THAT BECAUSE THAT'S A DANGEROUS IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR WAY AROUND THERE. YEAH. YOU KNOW YOU CAN HAVE A PROBLEM. AND THEN THERE'S I'VE THOUGHT FIND WAS PAYING HELPING TO PAY FOR SOME DREDGING DOWN THERE. I'D BE CURIOUS TO FIND OUT IF THAT EVER. BECAUSE IF WE'RE BRINGING IN 30 BOATS, YOU KNOW, AND THAT THAT SHALLOW SPOTS THERE, THAT MIGHT BE A PROBLEM. BUT ANYWAY, I'M JUST CURIOUS, WOULD YOU LIKE TO GET MORE INFORMATION ON THIS PROJECT AS A SEPARATE PRESENTATION FROM FROM THE UTILITIES DEPARTMENT? YEAH, LET'S LET'S FIND OUT WHAT'S OKAY. LET'S GET AN UPDATE ON IT.

SURE. SO THIS KIND OF SUMMARIZES THE THE SIX PROJECTS THAT I WENT OVER, THE GUY DAVIS PARK DOWNTOWN, UNDERGROUNDING, RIVERSIDE PARK, THE PROJECT LIFT WHICH IS ON THE WILLIE GARY SITE, STATEMENT DRAINAGE AND SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS AND THE TREE CANOPY PROGRAM. THESE ARE ALL PROJECTS BUDGETED FOR 2026. AND SO THESE ARE THE PROJECTS THAT WE, YOU KNOW, WILL BE WORKING ON THIS YEAR. AND THEN 20, 27 AND ONWARDS, WE HAVE OTHER PROJECTS THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED, WHICH IS THE TRIANGLE DISTRICT, THE DIXIE HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FROM JOHN JEFFERSON TO OCEAN BOULEVARD. WE RECEIVED A GRANT FOR THAT. SO WE HAVE TO WAIT TILL 2027 TO GO IN CONSTRUCTION. BUT WE'RE WORKING ON THE DESIGN RIGHT NOW. ENGINEERING PLANS RIGHT NOW. THEN YOU HAVE THE OSCEOLA STREET EXTENSION. BUT AGAIN, THAT'S KIND OF DEPENDENT ON ON WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE CITY HALL SITE, MLK STREETSCAPE PROJECT. WE'RE WORKING ON THE DESIGN ON THAT, AND THESE ARE JUST ALL, YOU KNOW, FROM 2027 AND ONWARD PROJECT. AND AS AS WE GET CLOSER TO THOSE YEARS, I'LL HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON THESE PROJECTS. AND THAT KIND OF SUMMARIZES MY PRESENTATION. AND I WOULD LIKE AN APPROVAL ON RESOLUTION NUMBER OH SIX. DASH 2025, ADOPTING THE CRA BUDGET FOR 2026 AND THE CIP. OKAY, BUT LOOK FOR A MOTION MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND. DISCUSSION. ANYBODY COMMENTS OR ANYTHING? WE'RE GOOD. LOOKS GOOD. ALL RIGHT. WE DON'T HAVE TWO ROLL CALL ON THIS DO WE. DO WE DO OKAY. GO AHEAD.
