A LONG TIME AGO I ASKED THE CRA ABOUT GETTING PLAY EQUIPMENT FOR THE MARTIN LUTHER KING PARK OVER ON PARK AVENUE BETWEEN PARK AVENUE AND DIXIE HIGHWAY, AND I WAS TOLD THE CRA MONEY COULDN'T BE USED ON NEW PARK EQUIPMENT. BUT THEN AT THESE LAST COUPLE OF MEETINGS, YOU WERE THE CRA APPROVING THE MONEY FOR THE SKATEBOARD PARK. SO I'M ONLY LOOKING FOR SWINGS AND SOME NEW EQUIPMENT BECAUSE IT'S THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT THAT'S AT THAT PARK. AND OUR KIDS IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD DO USE THAT PARKING LOT. AND I WAS WONDERING, WHY CAN'T WE COME UP WITH SOME MONEY FOR THAT PARK TO UPGRADE THE PLAY EQUIPMENT FOR OUR CHILDREN? THANK YOU. 
          I'M SORRY, WHICH PARK IS THAT? MARTIN LUTHER KING. MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR PARK. IT'S ON PARK AVENUE, AND IT'S THAT CHURCH STREET. YES, ON THE CORNER. PARK AVENUE AND CHURCH STREET. THANK YOU. IT'S A VERY SMALL PARK, BUT WE USE IT A LOT. I GO TO A LOT OF THINGS OVER

          [COMMENTS BY BOARD MEMBERS (Non-Agenda Items)]
MAYOR. ARE THERE COMMENTS BY BOARD MEMBERS? I'LL START WITH YOU, MR. SHEARER. DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS THIS AFTERNOON FOR US? I HAVE NO COMMENT, MR. MAYOR. THANK YOU, MISS MOSER. 
          DO YOU BRIEF COMMENTS? FIRST, I JUST WANTED TO NOTE I'VE BEEN WATCHING THE CONSTRUCTION ON SEMINOLE HERE IN DOWNTOWN AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD NORTH OF THE BRIDGE, WEST OF DIXIE HIGHWAY. 
          AND I'M JUST REALLY EXCITED TO SEE, YOU KNOW, THESE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR A WHILE, BEING CONSTRUCTED. THEY LOOK GREAT. AND WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT TO OUR CRA. SECOND, I JUST WANTED TO NOTE, I THINK THAT YOU ALL AT THE CITY ARE AWARE OF THIS, BUT WITH THE DIRECTIVE FROM THE FLORIDA DOT, THE CROSSWALKS DOWNTOWN, THEY'VE BEEN PAINTED OVER IN THEIR BLACK IN THE MIDDLE. THE VISIBILITY NOW IS VERY LOW. AND SO BIG SAFETY CONCERN THERE WITH PEDESTRIANS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY LIKE OUR MOST PEDESTRIAN HEAVY PART OF THE ENTIRE COUNTY. SO AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN GET THOSE STRIPED WITH THE LATTER CROSSING OR SOMETHING TO IMPROVE VISIBILITY, THE BETTER. THAT'S A VERY GOOD POINT BOARD MEMBER MANERA. 
          THANK YOU, MISS MR. LAUGHLIN. NO COMMENTS. MR. BRICKWELL. NO COMMENT. BOARD MEMBER JAMES NO COMMENT. COMMISSIONER REED YEAH, FOR CLARIFICATION, HELEN, WHO HAD MENTIONED THAT WE COULDN'T USE CRA FUNDS THERE, WHO HAD MENTIONED IT. DO YOU REMEMBER DO YOU RECALL WHO HAD MENTIONED THAT FOR CRA FUNDS? I KNOW IT'S YOU KNOW, NO, BUT I DID ASK SOMEONE. ABOUT FOUR, FIVE YEARS. 
          I GO BY. EQUIPMENT. I MEAN OVER AND CHECK IT OUT. OKAY. SO I BELIEVE WE CAN USE CRA FUNDS THERE. I. BOARD MEMBER JOB ACTING ON WHAT COMMISSIONER RICE SAID. I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF WE CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION AS TO THE EQUIPMENT FOR THAT PLAYGROUND. IF YOU WANT TO PUT IT ON, HAVE IT BE ON AN AGENDA AT A SUBSEQUENT MEETING. THAT WOULD BE A PERFECTLY SENSIBLE IDEA. BUT SINCE STAFF IS NOT PREPARED TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS OR ANY OF THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS, I THINK IT'S OKAY. I'D LIKE TO PUT IT ON THE NEXT AGENDA MEETING SO THAT WE CAN DISCUSS PURCHASING EQUIPMENT FOR THE PARK. SO NOTED. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, BOARD MEMBER CLARK. THANKS. I TOO, LIKE MISS MOSHER. I'M GLAD THAT THESE PROJECTS ARE GOING FORWARD. I KNOW THAT THERE'S LOTS OF CONCERNS, WHETHER IT'S ON NORTH OF THE BRIDGE OR SEMINOLE STREET, THE UNDERGROUND AND OTHER THINGS. BUT I'M GLAD THAT THEY'RE GOING FORWARD. I'M GOING TO BRING UP SOMETHING THAT NOT CRA, BUT IT'S STEWART, AND I'M GOING TO TRY TO KEEP BRINGING IT UP UNTIL WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT SOMETIME AGO. AND I'LL BRING IT UP AT THE NEXT MEETING COMING UP ALSO, SOME TIME AGO, COMMISSIONER KEMP HAD TALKED ABOUT AT A JOINT CITY COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD MEETING ABOUT HOUSING ISSUES, AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMING UP AND ASKING ME ABOUT HOUSING ISSUES AND HOMELESS ISSUES. AND I KNOW THAT THE MORE HOMELESS PEOPLE WE HAVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY COME FROM THE NORTH DURING THE WINTER TIME, AND IT'S THEY THEY STAY IN OUR DOWNTOWN AND THEY'RE IN OUR PARKS. I KNOW THAT THAT'S A BIG ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY AVAILABILITY FOR ANYTHING, AND IT'S GOING TO BE SOME TIME BEFORE SOMEBODY CAN ACTUALLY BUILD HOUSING OR PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE TO TO USE VOUCHERS TO GO SOMEPLACE. BUT I THINK IT'S STILL A COMMUNITY ISSUE AND THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT IT. AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT BUSINESS PEOPLE OR, OR ANYBODY CAN DO TO HELP WITH THIS SITUATION, I THINK IT WILL IN GENERAL HELP TO IMPROVE OUR COMMUNITY AND THE THE FACE AND THE THE LOOK THAT OUR COMMUNITY HAS WHEN WE CAN HELP TO DEAL WITH THAT ISSUE. SO THAT'S THAT'S JUST ONE THING THAT I WANT TO BRING UP. THANK YOU. SO YEAH, THAT'S IT. MR. VICE MAYOR. I HAVE NO COMMENTS. ACTION ITEMS, ITEM 
          [3. STYPIMANN NEIGHBORHOOD SIDEWALK AND DRAINAGE CONCEPTUAL PLAN APPROVAL (RC): RESOLUTION No. 08-2025 CRA ; A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA APPROVING THE CONCEPTUAL PLANS FOR THE STYPMANN NEIGHBORHOOD SIDEWALK AND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.]
NUMBER THREE. MR. BAGGETT, WILL YOU READ THAT FOR OUR CONSIDERATION, PLEASE? SURE. 
          [00:10:02]
RESOLUTION NUMBER ZERO EIGHT DASH 2025 CRA, A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF FLORIDA, CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE CONCEPTUAL PLANS FOR THE STYPMANN NEIGHBORHOOD SIDEWALK AND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. I BELIEVE WE HAVE A PRESENTATION BY. I'LL OPEN THE PRESENTATION CRA DIRECTOR. FOR THE RECORD, I'M GOING TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BACKGROUND INFORMATION TO THE BOARD MEMBERS ABOUT THE PROJECT AND HOW IT WAS INITIATED BY THE CRA. THE STYPMANN NEIGHBORHOOD WAS ADDED IN THE CRA WHEN WE EXPANDED THE BOUNDARIES BACK IN 2015. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PURPLE AREA ON THE MAP, WE DID A FINDING OF NECESSITY STUDY TO EVALUATE THE PROPOSED EXPANSION AREA, AND WE FOUND THAT THERE WAS LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURE, AND IT WAS DETERMINED AT THAT TIME THAT THE AREA MET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR FLORIDA STATUTES AND MADE IT ELIGIBLE TO INCLUDE IT IN THE CRA. AND THEN SINCE IT WAS INCLUDED, WE STARTED RECEIVING CALLS FROM RESIDENTS BACK IN 2018, 2019 OF ANY IMPROVEMENT PLANS AND WHAT OUR PLANS WERE TO INVEST CRA FUNDS WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THEN IN 2021, CRA STARTED INITIATING EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE SIDEWALK CONNECTIVITY WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THIS AREA IS CLOSE TO OUR DOWNTOWN STUART MIDDLE SCHOOL, JD PARK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. SO IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO BRING THAT CONNECTION OF SIDEWALK WITH THE EXISTING SIDEWALK. WE'VE HAD HELD FOUR NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS AND MANY FIELD VISITS WITH JOE CAPRA IS HERE WITH US SINCE WE INITIATED THE PROJECT. THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT, THE THE RESIDENTS CONTINUOUSLY EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT THE SIDEWALK PLACEMENT, ESPECIALLY ON FIFTH STREET. THEY THEY PREFERRED THAT THE SIDEWALK BE PLACED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE STREET, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE ON THE SOUTH SIDE IS THE RESIDENTIAL HOMES, AND THEY HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT PRIVACY IF IF THE IF THE SIDEWALKS ARE PLACED IN FRONT IN THEIR FRONT YARD AND ALSO POTENTIALLY LOSING SOME DRIVEWAYS. SO THEY DO PREFER THAT THAT THE SIDEWALKS BE PLACED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF STREET FIFTH STREET, WHICH IS A COMMERCIAL SIDE, TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT ON THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE. THE. THE PROJECT WAS PRESENTED AT THE JOINT BOARD MEETING BACK IN JULY 2023. DUE TO LACK OF CONSENSUS AND LIMITED BUDGET AT THAT TIME, THE BOARD ULTIMATELY DENIED MOVING THE PROJECT FORWARD. DURING THE OUTREACH MEETINGS, WE ALSO LEARNED THAT THAT THERE WAS A DRAINAGE ISSUES WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          SO THEN THE CRA DECIDED THAT WE WOULD PRIORITIZE THAT, AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT WE ADDRESSED THE DRAINAGE ISSUE FIRST SO IT DOESN'T NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE FUTURE SIDEWALK. SHOULD THE CITY OR THE CRA DECIDE TO IMPLEMENT IT AT A LATER DATE? SO THEN IN 2023, WE APPLIED FOR THE DEP GRANT TO ADDRESS THE DRAINAGE CONCERNS. INITIALLY, THE PROJECT WAS NOT SELECTED FOR FUNDING, BUT WE WERE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVISE OUR APPLICATION AND WE RESUBMITTED THE APPLICATION. WE MADE IT BETTER, STRENGTHENED, STRENGTHENED THE APPLICATION, AND FOR THE SECOND RESUBMITTAL, THE PROJECT WAS AWARDED $1.6 MILLION FOR DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS. IN THE MEANTIME, WE WERE STILL GETTING CALLS FROM NEIGHBORHOOD REGARDING PAST PASS THROUGH TRAFFIC AND SPEEDING. SO WE INSTALLED STOP SIGNS THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO ADDRESS THEIR CONCERNS. AND ESPECIALLY AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, THEY WERE REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT PEOPLE USING THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS A AS A CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC. SO THEN WE HAVE RECEIVED A LOT OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM THE RESIDENTS. SO IT IS HAVING A POSITIVE IMPACT ON TRAFFIC CALMING IN THE AREA BY BY PLACING THESE SIDEWALKS THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I'M SORRY, PLACING THE STOP SIGNS THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AFTER THE AWARD OF THE GRANT, THE CRA HELD TWO MEETINGS IN MAY 2025 AND SEPTEMBER 2025 TO INFORM THE RESIDENTS THAT THAT THE CITY RECEIVED AN AWARD, AND WE WANTED TO REOPEN THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SIDEWALK WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE EXPLAINED TO THE RESIDENTS THAT SINCE WE ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE DRAINAGE DESIGN, IT WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO REVISIT THE SIDEWALK CONCEPT TO ENSURE BOTH PROJECTS ARE COORDINATED. WE DO HAVE A STRICT TIMELINE TO COMPLETE THE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS PER THE GRANT AGREEMENT, SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE FINALIZE THE CONCEPTUAL STREETSCAPE DESIGN TO AVOID ANY LOSING FUNDING FOR THE PROJECT. SO COORDINATING 
          [00:15:04]
THESE THESE TWO PROJECTS WILL HELP WITH COST EFFICIENT MINIMIZE DISRUPTIONS, MOBILIZATION AND JUST IMPROVE THE OVERALL INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE RESIDENTS AGREED TO PROCEED WITH THE DRAINAGE AND SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS. CONCURRENTLY, THE CONSENSUS FROM THE RESIDENTS IS TO PLACE THE SIDEWALK ON THE NORTH SIDE OF FIFTH STREET AND WEST SIDE OF CORTEZ AVENUE, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE PLANS HERE, WE'VE ALSO PROVIDED HARD COPIES TO ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS, SO YOU CAN LOOK AT THAT. AND WE'RE ALSO PROPOSING TO INSTALL NEW AND OR ANY MISSING SIDEWALKS ALONG HIGH SCHOOL AVENUE, AMÉRICO AVENUE, AND BALBOA. THE EXISTING SIDEWALK AND STYPMANN BOULEVARD WILL REMAIN IN PLACE, AND WE'LL JUST REPAIR OR REPLACE WHEREVER THEY'RE DAMAGED. JOE CAPRA IS HERE. HE'S GOING TO PROVIDE MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE DESIGN. ALSO, THERE WERE SOME DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE YIELD STREET CONCEPT, SO HE'LL KIND OF GO THROUGH THAT. THOSE THOSE CONCEPTS WITH THE BOARD MEMBERS AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION, WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE FEEDBACK FROM THE BOARD MEMBERS ON THE OVERALL PLAN. 
          ALSO, MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER EIGHT DASH 2025 CRA AUTHORIZING STAFF TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE FINAL CONSTRUCTION. I'LL LET JOE TAKE OVER FROM HERE AND HE'LL WALK YOU THROUGH THE THE CONCEPTUAL PLANS. TRYING TO GET IT. GOOD. 
          GOOD EVENING, BOARD MEMBERS. I'M JOE CARTER WITH CAP TECH ENGINEERING. I'M GOING TO STAND ON THE SIDE OF THIS BECAUSE I FELT I WAS WALKING THROUGH THE POWERPOINT PRESENTATION TONIGHT. 
          I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH ABOUT NINE SLIDES. I'LL TRY TO QUICKLY GO THROUGH THEM BECAUSE MANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN THESE BEFORE. SO ESSENTIALLY, JUST SO EVERYBODY KNOWS, THERE IS SOME SLIGHT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WHAT WAS IN THE AGENDA ITEM AND WHAT I HAVE ON YOUR TABLE TODAY. I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW, WE'VE KIND OF UPDATED A COUPLE OF THE ITEMS, ADDED SOME COST AND SO FORTH. SO I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THERE IS SOME SLIGHT DIFFERENCES. SO IT MAY BE GOOD TO PAY ATTENTION TO THIS, BUT MOST OF THE BOARD MEMBERS HAVE A COPY OF THE NEW PLOTS OF THIS, WHICH IS IS PRETTY PRETTY MUCH THE SAME STUFF, BUT JUST A LITTLE CLEARER FOR YOU. FIRST OF ALL, I DON'T NEED TO GO THROUGH THE HISTORY BECAUSE PARNELL'S ALREADY DONE THAT. I THINK WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR TONIGHT IS OBTAIN ALL THE BOARD'S APPROVALS FOR THIS, THIS COMPLETE STREET TYPE OF PROJECT. IT'S FAIRLY A NARROW STREET, I KNOW. WE CALL IT YIELD ON THE ON THE PLAN. AND WE USE CONCEPTS FROM THE YIELD STREET CRITERIA. BUT ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS NARROWING THE STREETS TONIGHT WHERE WE'RE AT IS WE'VE DONE A CONCEPTUAL PLAN THAT I'M SHOWING YOU TONIGHT. WE PROVIDED SOME CONCEPTUAL COST ESTIMATES THAT ARE FAIRLY ACCURATE. THEY HAVE SOME CONTINGENCIES IN THEM. WE'D LIKE TO GET DONE WITH THE DESIGN PERMITTING BIDDING AND THEN ULTIMATELY THE BEGINNING OF NEXT YEAR. FIRST QUARTER IS WHEN WE REALLY NEED TO START CONSTRUCTION. AND THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT'S PROBABLY ABOUT A 15 MONTH PROJECT TO GET THIS COMPLETED. THERE'S QUITE A FEW COMPONENTS TO IT. AND OBVIOUSLY THE OTHER THE MAIN OBJECTIVE IS WE AT $1.65 MILLION GRANT WE HAVE MAKE SURE EVERYBODY RECOGNIZES THE GRANT. YOU HAVE TO SPEND YOUR MONEY AND THEN WE GET REIMBURSED FOR IT. SO WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THOSE ITEMS ARE PUT IN PLACE. 
          AND THEY HAVE A DEADLINE NOW. THEY HAVE A DEADLINE IN IN 2028. BUT IT'LL IT'LL CATCH UP WITH US QUICKLY. SO AGAIN I'M VERY CONSCIOUS OF GRANT WORK AND SO FORTH AND MAKING SURE WE MEET OUR DEADLINES. THE FIRST SLIDE THAT WILL GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. JUST SO YOU KNOW, I KNOW THESE THESE MAPS KIND OF GET THE TOP LINE IS IS EAST OCEAN BOULEVARD. OBVIOUSLY THE NEXT LINE EAST WEST LINE IS, IS FIFTH STREET. THE LINE BELOW THAT IS STYPMANN. AND THE NORTH SOUTH STREETS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DRAWING IS IS PALM BEACH ROAD. AND THEN ESSENTIALLY CORTEZ, BALBOA, AMERIGO AND THEN HIGH SCHOOL AVENUE. SO THOSE ARE THAT'S THE CROSS SECTION OF ROADS HERE. 
          WHAT THIS IS DEPICTING. IF IT WAS A LITTLE CLEARER FOR YOU, BUT I'M GOING TO GET INTO DETAILS IN A MINUTE. ESSENTIALLY, THE RED LINES REFLECT EXISTING SIDEWALKS THAT ARE OUT THERE TODAY. THIS EXHIBIT IS MAINLY A SIDEWALK EXHIBIT. ESSENTIALLY, THE RED LINES DEPICT EXISTING SIDEWALKS. THE THE GREEN LINES REFLECT WHERE WE ARE PROPOSING SIDEWALKS. OKAY. SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT YOU'LL HAVE WHEN WE'RE DONE WITH THIS PROGRAM IS SIDEWALKS ON ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON EACH OF THE ROADS OUT THERE. OKAY. SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT YOU SEE IN GREEN IS PROPOSED SIDEWALKS, RED LINES ARE EXISTING. SIDEWALKS WILL MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO THOSE SIDEWALKS, BUT NOT A LOT. AND THEN ALSO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE AT EACH OF THE INTERSECTIONS KIND OF A LIKE A LIGHTER GREEN. THAT'S BASICALLY WHERE WE'RE 
          [00:20:01]
HAVING CROSSWALKS. AND THOSE ARE THE SAME LOCATIONS WHERE YOU CURRENTLY WE PUT THE STOP SIGNS IN PLACE ALREADY. SO THERE'LL BE CROSSWALKS AT AT THOSE INTERSECTIONS WITH STOP SIGNS THAT ARE ALREADY THERE. ESSENTIALLY, YOU CAN JUST BARELY SEE A BLACK DOT AT EACH OF THE INTERSECTIONS. ESSENTIALLY, MAYBE I CAN BE BLACKED OUT THERE, BLACKED OUT THERE, THERE, THERE, THERE, THERE. THERE'S ABOUT 13 OF THEM, 12 TO 13 OF THEM. THAT'S WHERE WE PROPOSE STREETLIGHTS. SO EACH OF THEM WILL HAVE A DECORATIVE STREET, LIGHTED CORNERS, SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE DONE IN OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. SO ESSENTIALLY THOSE ARE THE ITEMS THAT ARE ON THIS DRAWING ITSELF, THE LOCATION OF THE SIDEWALK. 
          WE'VE GONE BACK AND FORTH WITH WHERE PEOPLE PREFER THEM, JUST TO KIND OF QUICKLY. BASICALLY, THE SIDEWALK IS PREFERRED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF FIFTH STREET, WHICH IS IS MORE COMMERCIAL PROJECTS ON THE NORTH SIDE, THE THERE'S SIDEWALKS ON THE EAST SIDE OF HIGH SCHOOL, SIDEWALKS ON THE WEST SIDE OF AMERIGO, BALBOA AND CORTEZ. OKAY, THAT'S WHERE THE SIDEWALKS ARE LOCATED. 
          THERE'S EXISTING SIDEWALK ON STATEMENT ON THE SOUTH SIDE, AND SOME OF THESE SIDEWALKS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED ON SIXTH STREET AND SO FORTH AND AROUND THE LOOP ARE AGAIN ON THE SOUTH SIDE. ESSENTIALLY, THAT'S THAT'S THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS. OKAY. RELATIVE TO SIDEWALKS. SLIDE NUMBER TWO QUICKLY, THIS IS IS WE CALL IT AGAIN A YIELD STREET. IT'S PROBABLY MORE A NARROW STREET. WE'RE PROPOSING ON THREE LOCATIONS TO NARROW THE STREETS. 
          AND THE GOAL IS OBVIOUSLY TO SLOW DOWN TRAFFIC. JUST TO BE CLEAR, ON THE CORNER OF AMERIGO AND WHITMAN, ARE THERE TWO STREET LIGHTS BEING PROPOSED TO GO? THERE WOULD ONLY BE. YEAH, THEY'RE REALLY ONLY GOING TO BE ONE. SORRY, THERE'D BE ONE. WE HAVEN'T DECIDED REALLY WHAT CORNER TO PUT IT ON. BUT YOU'RE RIGHT. THERE'LL BE ONE SIDEWALK OR ONE ONE STREET LIGHT THERE. 
          OKAY. SORRY ABOUT THAT. THERE'S. THERE'S ONLY ONE AT EACH CORNER. GOOD CATCH. GOOD CATCH. YEAH. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. HE'S DOING PRETTY GOOD THERE. GOOD, GOOD. ANYWAYS, ESSENTIALLY WITH THE NARROW STREETS ARE WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING ON NARROW STREETS IS THAT THE ROADS THAT ARE CURRENTLY TWO TEN FOOT WIDE LANES WILL BE NARROWED DOWN TO TWO EIGHT FOOT WIDE LANES, FOR A TOTAL OF 16FT ON THE NARROW STREETS. AND THE STREETS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING THAT ON ARE FIFTH STREET AND WHITMAN AND CORTEZ. THOSE ARE BASED ON THE LAST PUBLIC MEETING WE HAD WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHERE THEY PREFER TO HAVE THOSE THE ALL OTHER ALL OTHER STREETS, THE THE WIDTH OF THE ROADS WILL BE AS THEY CURRENTLY EXIST. OKAY. SO THOSE ARE THE THREE NARROWED STREETS THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AGAIN. FIFTH STATEMENT AND CORTEZ. OKAY. NEXT SLIDE. 
          AGAIN, THIS ONE GETS INTO A LITTLE MORE DETAIL AND I'M GOING TO I'M ONLY TELLING YOU ABOUT THE TYPICAL SECTIONS. THE NEXT SLIDE BLOWS THESE SECTIONS UP THAT ARE DOWN HERE. SO THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO BE EASIER TO TALK FROM FROM THE NEXT SLIDE. SO LET'S MOVE TO THE NEXT SLIDE AND JUST KIND OF GO THROUGH THIS A LITTLE BIGGER PRINT HERE. ESSENTIALLY YOU CAN SEE WE AND THIS HERE IS FIFTH STREET OKAY. AND THIS IS FROM GENERALLY FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO CORTEZ OKAY. AND WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW IS THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT SECTIONS HERE. FIFTH STREET HIGH SCHOOL TO CORTEZ. AND THIS IS FIFTH STREET FROM CORTEZ TO PALM BEACH. PALM BEACH ROAD OKAY. THE DIFFERENCE IS IS IS MAINLY FROM HIGH SCHOOL AVENUE TO CORTEZ. 
          THERE'S COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ROAD. AND SO IN THIS ONE WE ARE PROPOSING PARKING ON ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ROAD. AND SO WHAT WE DID IS WE LEFT THE THE THOSE WOULD BE EASTBOUND TRAFFIC LANE LINE, THE EDGE OF PAVEMENT. WE LEFT IT WHERE IT WAS BECAUSE THE RESIDENTS DIDN'T SEEM TO WANT US ENCROACHING ON THEIR PROPERTY TOO MUCH WITH THE ROAD. SO IN SIDEWALKS WE PRETTY MUCH LEFT THAT ALONE. AND THEN WE BASICALLY KEPT THE ROAD IN PLACE AND, AND BASICALLY NARROWED THE, THE LANE EDGE THERE, EIGHT FOOT LANES. AND THEN WE PUT A PARKING LANE ON ON AND AGAIN MAINLY THE PARKING LOT WILL BE THE PARKING. THE STALLS WILL BE BASICALLY ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND THEY'LL BE BETWEEN HIGH SCHOOL AVENUE AND CORTEZ. AND AND BOTH OF THESE WE'VE PUT IN A VERY SHALLOW SWELL. THE IDEA BEING IS WE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IN THE IN THE LATER PLAN IS OUR DRAINAGE PROGRAM, WHICH HAS A LOT OF PIPE INLETS, CONVENIENCE STORES AND SO FORTH. BUT EVERY SO OFTEN WE REALLY WANT TO GET THE WATER OFF THE ROAD INTO THOSE SWELL AREAS. WE'LL BE 
          [00:25:05]
PICKED UP AT AN INLET. AGAIN. THIS IS A CROWNED ROADWAY SECTION. ESSENTIALLY, WE JUST HAVE A SHALLOW SWALE. AND AGAIN, OUR OUR MOTIVE MOTIVATION IS, IS TO TRY TO KEEP THE THE ROADWAY TRAFFIC AWAY FROM THE PEDESTRIAN. SO IN THIS CASE THE ROADWAY IS SEPARATED BY ALMOST SIX, SIX FEET. THERE I BELIEVE THAT IS ON THAT THERE THAT ELEVATE OR DISTANCE THERE FROM A FIVE FOOT SIDEWALK. AND THOSE WILL BE THE WHERE THE PEDESTRIANS WILL WALK. SO THAT'S A ONE PORTION OF THE ROADWAY AGAIN, FIFTH STREET FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO CORTEZ. 
          WE'LL GET TO CORTEZ. THERE SEEMS TO BE MAINLY SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND ONE BIG COMMERCIAL BUSINESS ON THE CORNER. ESSENTIALLY, WE DON'T NEED PARKING FOR THAT BUSINESS. 
          THEY HAVE PLENTY OF PARKING. AND SO ESSENTIALLY WE'VE KEPT TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC, EIGHT FOOT LANES, BASICALLY A SHALLOW SWALE AND THEN A SIDEWALK. AND OUR MAIN OBJECTIVE THAT WE HAD FROM THE RESIDENTS WAS TO MAINTAIN THE CURRENT BUFFER THERE. SO WE WE INTEND TO KEEP THE CURRENT BUFFER THAT'S BETWEEN, AGAIN, CORTEZ TO PALM BEACH ROAD. SO THAT'S THE TYPICAL SECTION FOR FIFTH STREET THAT THAT'S BEING PROPOSED. AGAIN YIELD NARROW STREETS 16 FOOT WIDE TOTAL EIGHT FOOT LANES. THE NEXT SLIDE IS GOING TO SHOW YOU SOME DETAILS OF ACTUALLY ALL THREE AREAS OF BETWEEN STILLMAN FIFTH STREET AS WELL AS AS CORTEZ. 
          AND AGAIN, IT'S THE SAME OVERALL PLAN AS FAR AS THAT YOU'VE SEEN IN THE PAST. BUT ESSENTIALLY I'M GOING TO GO AND BLOW THESE SECTIONS UP NEXT. OKAY. SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE WHERE THEY'RE GOING OKAY. SO THE FIRST ONE IS IS AGAIN FIFTH STREET HIGH SCHOOL TO CORTEZ. 
          THIS IS THE ONE THAT HAD THE THE PARKING. YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN THIS ONE. IT WAS IN THE PRIOR SLIDE. THE SECOND SLIDE IS ACTUALLY STILLMAN AGAIN IN THIS ONE WE LEFT THE SIDEWALK WHERE IT EXISTS ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE RIGHT OF WAY. WE PUT A LITTLE MORE AREA BETWEEN THE SIDEWALK AND THE STREET. WE TOOK THE WE TOOK SOME OF THE STREET AWAY FROM THIS SIDE, AND WE NARROWED THE STREET TOWARDS THE TOWARDS THE NORTH. OKAY. AGAIN, BOTH HAVE A SHALLOW SWELL. AND BASICALLY AGAIN, THERE ARE TWO 8 FOOT TO 8 FOOT LANES AGAIN IN THAT AREA. THE NEXT SLIDE IS CORTEZ. WE HAVE A LITTLE MORE FLEXIBILITY IN THIS ONE, BUT ESSENTIALLY WE DID HAVE SOME DRAINAGE CONCERNS. THE SIDEWALK IS BEING PROPOSED ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE ROAD AGAIN, TWO EIGHT FOOT LANES. AND THEN WE PUT A SWALE IN BETWEEN THE SIDEWALK AND THE ROADWAY THAT WE'RE NARROWING. OKAY. THERE'LL BE A SIDEWALK ON BOTH SIDES. SO THOSE ARE THE TYPICALLY THE THREE DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE NARROWS YIELD STREET AREAS THAT WE ARE PROPOSING. THE NEXT SLIDE. DO YOU HAVE THE. YOU HAVE A LOT. WELL IT'S GOING TO COME UP IN THIS SLIDE BECAUSE IT SHOWS YOU THE FIRE TRUCK. BUT YEAH WE CAN TALK ABOUT ALL THESE OTHER DETAILS. BY ALL MEANS. EVERYBODY'S CAN HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. SO I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU I WAS JUST GOING TO GO TO KIND OF GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION. SO OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A CONCERN OR THERE'S BEEN A CONCERN ABOUT EMERGENCY VEHICLES, GARBAGE TRUCKS, AMAZON TRUCKS THAT MAKE DELIVERIES AND SO FORTH. SO WE TRY TO A DEPICTION OF. SO THIS DEPICTS A 20 FOOT WIDE STREET, TWO TEN FOOT LANES OKAY. AND IT'S THAT'S A PRETTY MUCH A TYPICAL FIRE TRUCK. AND THEN THE VEHICLES THAT WOULD BE ON IT OKAY. SO THAT'S FIFTH STREET PER SE. AGAIN. WE THEN LOOKED AT FIFTH STREET IN A NARROW STREET WITH EIGHT FOOT LANES ON EIGHT FOOT LANES IN EACH DIRECTION. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE FIRE TRUCK ENCROACHES. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS IN THAT STREET THAT WE'RE NARROWING, WE WILL TAKE THE ASPHALT AWAY, BUT WE WILL HAVE A STABILIZED SHOULDER. 
          IT'LL BE BASE ROCK WITH SOD ON TOP OF IT. SO IT'LL LOOK LIKE IT'S ACTUALLY PART OF THE SWALE. 
          WORK A SWALE NEXT TO THE ROAD AND SO FORTH. SO IF A VEHICLE DOES HAVE TO GET OUT THERE, HOPEFULLY WE DON'T SEE FIRE TRUCKS DOWN THERE, BUT THERE'S OCCASION THEY WOULD AGAIN. 
          THERE'S ALSO DRIVEWAYS THAT THE PEOPLE CAN GET AWAY FROM THE TRUCK AND SO FORTH. SO ESSENTIALLY THAT'S KIND OF DEPICTING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. A TYPICAL VEHICLE, A CAR 6.5FT WIDE, MAYBE SIX FEET TO 6.5FT WIDE. THE TRUCK IS ABOUT TEN FEET WIDE. AGAIN, THERE'S ABOUT I THINK WE DEPICTED A SEPARATION THERE OF AT LEAST ONE FOOT TO THE CENTER OF THE ROAD. IT'S ABOUT TWO FOOT SEPARATION, OBVIOUSLY, IN A NORMAL 20 FOOT WIDE ROAD, IT'D BE ABOUT 4.5FT SEPARATION BETWEEN THE CARS IN EITHER DIRECTION. SO THAT'S THAT'S ONE WITH THE FIRE TRUCK. OKAY. THE NEXT SLIDE. AGAIN, I KNOW I HAVEN'T ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION, 
          [00:30:02]
SIR. I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF GO THROUGH THE SLIDE. THE NEXT SLIDE IS REALLY A GARBAGE TRUCK. 
          OKAY. SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH, THE NEWEST GARBAGE TRUCKS THAT YOU HAVE ARE A LITTLE NA LRROWER THN THAN THE FIRE TRUCK. AND THEY'RE ABOUT EIGHT FOOT A LITTLE OVER EIGHT FOOT WIDE AND THEN AN AMAZON TRUCK. SO THIS IS KIND OF THE WIDER AMAZON TRUCK. I MEASURED ONE YESTERDAY. 
          MY NEIGHBORHOOD. IT WAS 6.5FT WIDE. THIS SHOWS EIGHT FOOT. SO THERE'S DIFFERENT SIZE AMAZON TRUCKS. BUT ESSENTIALLY YOU CAN SEE YOU CAN GET AROUND IT. AND NOW THIS IS A 20 FOOT WIDE ROAD HERE OKAY. THE THE BOTTOM ONE IS THE NARROW STREET OF TWO EIGHT FOOT LANES. AGAIN YOU CAN SEE IT'S PRETTY TIGHT AGAIN, BUT YOU CAN GET AROUND THE GARBAGE. YOU CAN GET AROUND THE GARBAGE TRUCK AND STAY IN THE PAVEMENT IN THE SAME THING WITH THE AMAZON TRUCK. ANYWAYS, THOSE ARE JUST TWO EXHIBITS. TO JUST GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT THE SEPARATION WILL BE. IF THOSE TYPE OF VEHICLES ARE OUT THERE ON THE ROAD. THE NEXT SLIDE I APOLOGIZE, THIS IS KIND OF A LOT OF INFORMATION. AGAIN, THE THE ORIENTATION IS THE SAME, BUT WE HAVE THESE BLUE LINES AND PURPLE LINES THAT YOU SEE HERE ARE STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS OKAY. ESSENTIALLY WE'RE PUTTING PIPES AND INLETS THROUGHOUT EACH OF THE ROADS. MAINLY THIS AREA OF HIGH SCHOOL AVENUE ULTIMATELY GOES TO THE PONDS THAT ARE ALONG MLK, OKAY. INTO THOSE PONDS. AND SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING IS CREATING A CONVEYANCE SYSTEM FOR THE WATER THAT'S PONDING ON THESE ROADS. OKAY. ULTIMATELY THERE'S SOME EXFILTRATION IN THERE. THEY GET STORAGE, WHETHER IN BIOSWALES, THEY GO THROUGH BAFFLE BOXES, SOME OF THE BAFFLE BOXES WE MAY TRY AN ALTERNATIVE TO, BUT ESSENTIALLY THEY THE WATER IN THIS AREA WE'VE TRIED TO HIT WHERE THE LOW SPOTS ARE. AND THESE NEIGHBORHOODS AND NEIGHBORHOOD AREAS WITH, WITH STORM PIPE AND INLETS AND TAKING IT AND CONVEYING IT TO PONDS IN THE MIDDLE HERE BETWEEN AMERIGO AND AND PRETTY MUCH CORTEZ ITSELF. ALL THIS AGAIN, PIPE WORK AND SO FORTH WILL TAKE IT TO THOSE SAME PONDS. SO THIS AREA WILL BE DRAINING TO THE, TO THE SOUTH. AND AGAIN, IN PIPE SYSTEMS THE WATER WILL BE CONVEYED. IT WILL BE IT WILL BE TREATED AND SO FORTH. AGAIN, I KNOW I'VE EXPLAINED THIS TO THIS BOARD BEFORE. IT'LL BE LIKE A TREATMENT TRAINING PROGRAM THAT'S GOING ON HERE IN, IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THEN ON THE, ON THE EAST SIDE, THESE WILL BE GOING INTO THE HOSPITAL POND AREA AND WHERE THEY CURRENTLY DRAIN TO. BUT WE WILL BE EXTENDING STORM PIPES INTO AREAS THAT ARE CURRENTLY THERE'S PONDING OF WATER ON THE ROADS. SO ESSENTIALLY THIS IS WHERE WE WE'VE WE'VE OBTAINED A SIGNIFICANT SIZE GRANT FROM DEP. 
          IT'S CALLED THE GRANT. WE WILL SPEND THE MONEY ON THE DRAINAGE AND THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL HAPPEN. FIRST, THE NEIGHBORHOOD DOES HAVE WATER AND SEWER LINES THAT WE HAVE TO AVOID. MAYBE SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THOSE. BUT THERE IS SEWER AND WATER IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. NEXT SLIDE. 
          JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE COST THAT WE'VE ACCUMULATED THROUGH ALL THE VARIOUS MEETINGS, DRAINAGE WAS TURNED OUT TO BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE ITEM AND THE MOST REQUIRED REQUESTED ITEM. SO THAT'S THE TOP OF THE LIST. ABOUT $2 MILLION WORTH OF IMPROVEMENTS. 
          THERE'S SIDEWALKS THAT WILL NEED IMPROVEMENTS. ABOUT 938,000 PARKING ON THAT. AND IT'S REALLY ON THIS IS PARKING ON ON FIFTH STREET. AND THEN TO CREATE THE YIELD STREETS, WE NEED ABOUT $328,000 TO MAKE THOSE STREETS NARROWER. THERE'S ALL SORTS OF FEES FOR CONSULTANTS AND CONTINGENCIES THAT I'VE ADDED TO THIS. SO ABOUT $4.3 MILLION. ON TOP OF THAT. THE REQUEST FOR STREET LIGHTS CAME AFTER THE FACT. SO I PUT 50,000 FOR THAT. AND MILLING AND RESURFACING IS REALLY THE MONEY THAT THE PUBLIC WORKS WILL BE CONTRIBUTING TO AFTER WE BUILD ALL THESE IMPROVEMENTS. IF YOU WANT TO MILL AND RESURFACE ALL THE ROAD, AND THAT'S WHAT THOSE NUMBERS ARE, THEY'RE BELOW. SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT $4.8 MILLION ROUGHLY IN HERE. AGAIN, THIS IS A CONCEPT PLAN. I DO HAVE QUITE A BIT OF CONTINGENCIES IN HERE AND SO FORTH, BUT I WANTED YOU TO KNOW WHAT I'VE PUT THE MONEY INTO ON THE PROJECT. SO NEXT SLIDE I THINK IS REALLY JUST QUESTIONS SO WE CAN GO BACK AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. DO ANY MEMBERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF EITHER PANEL OR MR. CAPRA? I JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT WHEN WE NOTICED FOR THIS MEETING, I DID RECEIVE A LOT OF EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS FROM RESIDENTS ALONG STILLMAN BOULEVARD WHERE THEY DON'T WANT YIELD STREET, SO IF THEY ARE HERE, THEY MIGHT SPEAK ABOUT WHERE WHETHER THEY WANT IT OR NOT. ON STILLMAN BOULEVARD, WE DO HAVE CONSENSUS FOR FIFTH STREET AND CORTEZ. SO JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A HEADS UP. WHAT WERE THE DATES OF THOSE FOUR MEETINGS? I'M SORRY, WHAT WERE THE DATES OF THOSE FOUR MEETINGS? NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS? OH, WE'VE HAD WE'VE HAD MEETING IN 2002, 2023. AND THE LAST TWO MEETINGS WERE IN 2025, MAY AND SEPTEMBER. OKAY. THANK YOU. I CAN ACTUALLY. I 
          [00:35:03]
KNOW WE HAD ONE. WE STARTED THE PROJECT IN JULY 2022 AND WAS COULD YOU COME? WE HAD MEETINGS ON MAY 2023, JULY 2023, AUGUST 2023. MAINLY WE SPOKE ABOUT DRAINAGE, OKAY. AND THEN IN 2024, WE WE SUBMITTED THE GRANT SO THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE A MEETING, BUT WE DID SUBMIT THE GRANT REQUEST. AND AS MENTIONED, WE DIDN'T GET IT THE FIRST TIME. SO WE RESUBMITTED IT AND IT CONTINUED. AND THEY FINALLY GAVE US THE MONEY. WE RECEIVED THE GRANT IN MARCH OF 2025 AND THEN IN MAY OF 21 OF 2025, WE BASICALLY DISCUSSED THE STORMWATER AND SIDEWALKS. AND THEN OBVIOUSLY ON THE 18TH OF SEPTEMBER IS WHEN WE HAD THE LAST MEETING TO TALK ABOUT THE NARROW STREET CONCEPT. SO SO THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS HAD ONE MEETING REGARDING THE NARROWING OF THE ROADS, IN ESSENCE, IS THAT CORRECT? WELL, I BELIEVE IT STARTED CAME UP IN A COUPLE. 
          IT CAME UP IN, YEAH, A COUPLE OF OTHER MEETINGS ALSO BACK IN MAY AND THEN SEPTEMBER. SO WE'VE HAD TWO MEETINGS REGARDING THE YIELD STREET. COMMISSIONER REED. HEY JOE, DO YOU KNOW IF THERE'S ANY REQUIREMENTS FOR FIRE TRUCKS FOR NFPA FIRE CODE AS FAR AS ROAD WIDTHS, OR DO WE KNOW IF THE CHIEF IS HERE AT ALL? THE CHIEF COULD BE HERE. JUST SO YOU KNOW, WE DID HAVE WE DID PRESENT THESE TO THE CHIEF. OKAY. AND HE HE WAS IT WAS OKAY BECAUSE AT ONE TIME WE HAD TALKED ABOUT ACTUALLY A NARROWER THAN 16 FOOT. HE WAS OKAY WITH THE 16 FOOT. SO I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW IF HE'S HERE. THAT'S GREAT. IS HE HERE? DO WE KNOW IF HE WAS EVER A DRIVER ENGINEER, IF HE WAS EVER A DRIVER ENGINEER, IF HE ACTUALLY DROVE THE FIRE TRUCKS AT ONE POINT? I DON'T KNOW. I WAS JUST CURIOUS. I KNOW HE'S ONE OF ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. AND, MR. CAPRA, COULD YOU REMAIN AT THE MICROPHONE, PLEASE? THE CITY HAS EVERY SINGLE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT REVIEWED BY THE FIRE AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT, AND THEY REVIEW A CAD PROGRAM TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL VEHICLES CAN GO THROUGH. I DON'T HAVE HIS REPORT ON THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE SAID AS IT RELATES TO THE STREET, BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT WAS GIVEN TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, AND THE CITY OF STEWART DOESN'T HAVE. D OR DRIVER ENGINEERS AS POSITIONS IN THE STEWART FIRE DEPARTMENT, SO HE WOULD NEVER HAVE SERVED AS A DRIVER ENGINEER. HOWEVER, THE THEY DO REVIEW EVERY SINGLE SITE PLAN AND MAKE SURE THAT THE DRIVING TRUCKS HAVE GONE THROUGH. AND I KNOW THAT WE ALSO PROVIDE SERVICES TO SEWALL'S POINT. AND THERE WAS AN ISSUE JUST LAST SUMMER WITH A FAIRLY NARROW DRIVEWAY THAT I KNOW THE CHIEF WAS VERY INVOLVED WITH, AS IT RELATED TO THE WIDTHS OF THE ROAD, AND ALSO IN TALKING WITH THE TREES TOO, THEY TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION ACTUALLY THE HEIGHT OF THE CLEARANCE AS WELL, SO THAT THE TRUCKS DON'T HIT THE BRANCHES GOING THROUGH. BUT I DON'T HAVE HIS REPORT. THAT WOULD BE MY ONLY CONCERN. OR PEOPLE THAT HAVE TRAILERS OR ANYTHING COMING THROUGH THERE. 
          AS FAR AS NARROWING, I KNOW BONNIE KNOWS MORE ABOUT TRAFFIC CALMING, BUT DOES IT CREATE OTHER PROBLEMS? YES. AND THEN MY OTHER CONCERN WAS THE SIDEWALK AS WELL. AND DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU PUT IT, IF IT AFFECTS THE, YOU KNOW, RESIDENTS WITH PARKING, IF IT WAS POSSIBLE TO MAYBE NOT HAVE A SWELL ON ONE SIDE VERSUS THE OTHER. AS FAR AS NARROWING, BUT THOSE WERE MINE. OKAY, I CAN ADDRESS THEM JUST BECAUSE I. I'LL BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS THEM ONE AT A TIME. OR DO YOU WANT ME TO GET ALL THE QUESTIONS? BECAUSE WE DID THINK ABOUT THAT. 
          FIRST OF ALL, I, I KNEW I'D BE CRITICIZED FOR SWALES, BUT I ALSO WOULD BE CRITICIZED IF I DIDN'T TELL PEOPLE THERE MIGHT NEED TO BE A SWELL IN FRONT OF YOUR PROPERTY, BECAUSE IF I DON'T PUT A SWELL THERE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAVE PONDING ON THE STREET, BUT IF THERE'S ROOM FOR ME TO PUT A SWELL, I'M GOING TO PUT IT THERE. IF THERE'S A NEED FOR A PARKING SPOT THERE, WE'RE MOST LIKELY GOING TO LEAVE THE PARKING SPACE THAT THEY HAVE THERE, BECAUSE THAT SEEMED TO BE THE ITEM THAT EVERYBODY WAS CONCERNED ABOUT. ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE MY PARKING SPACE AWAY IN FRONT OF MY YARD? WE WEREN'T PLANNING ON DOING THAT. OKAY. 
          SO BUT I BUT I ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE IF YOU NOTICE ON THE EXHIBIT I USE THE WORD VARIOUS. 
          OKAY, I'M GOING TO MAKE THEM VERY BROAD SO THAT THEY'RE NOT LIKE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE A DITCH A LIKE A, I GUESS WE CALL THEM PORT SAINT LUCIE SWALES. WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THOSE ON THIS STREET. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING SHALLOW TO GET THE WATER OFF THE ROAD, AND THEN IT'S GOING TO GET TO AN INLET. BUT IF I DON'T HAVE SWALE IN THERE, I'D BE PUTTING INLETS JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE ON THE ROAD. SO WE DON'T WANT THAT. SO THAT'S WHY I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE, THE WATER CAN GO TO AN INLET. AND THAT'S WHAT THE SWALE IS MORE FOR CONVEYANCE. 
          BUT IT ALSO CAN GO ACROSS DRIVEWAYS AND IT CAN GO ACROSS. AND I ALSO LIKE TO TELL PEOPLE 
          [00:40:03]
IN THE CURRENT CRITERIA FOR STORMWATER MANAGEMENT, PEOPLE SHOULD EXPECT THERE'S GOING TO BE WATER IN THE SWALES IN THE FRONT OF THEIR PROPERTY. THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE STORAGE OF STORMWATER BECAUSE WE KEEP GETTING MORE INTENSE STORMS MORE OFTEN, AND PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SEE MORE WATER ON THE PROPERTY. NOW, MY GOAL ON THESE IS TO MAKE SURE THAT IT STAYS THERE FOR A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, AND WE BASICALLY SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE INTENT OF, OF THESE IS TO GET GET THE WATER OFF THE ROAD SO PEOPLE CAN GET TO THEIR HOME, BUT STORED IN A GREEN AREA, AND THEN MAKE SURE IT DISSIPATES AND EVAPORATES AND TRANSMITTED THROUGH TO THE GOLF BALL AND THE STORM STORAGE SYSTEM. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHERE THE STORMWATER COMES IN. WAS THERE ANOTHER QUESTION YOU HAD ON? OH, I'M JUST I'M CONCERNED WHEN WE NARROW. THAT'S WHAT I DID IT EFFECTIVE. BUT YOU'RE DRIVING A BIG VEHICLE. IT'S NOT FUN IF YOU HAVE A BOAT TRAILER. IT'S NOT EASY. ALL THAT'S. I DON'T. DID WE DO DID WE DO A TRAFFIC COMPLAINTS? IT'S USUALLY FROM THE BOAT. AND I GET THEM EVERY TIME I DO A ROUNDABOUT. YOU CAN MAKE THEM WIDE ENOUGH AND MAKE IT SO PEOPLE CAN GET AROUND IT. BUT I WOULDN'T WANT TO TELL YOU THAT YOU WILL NOT GET A COMPLAINT. YOU WILL GET COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE TO HAUL IN ANY TYPE OF TRAILER. YEAH, IT JUST HAPPENED. IT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE ON AN EIGHT FOOT TRAILER. AND THE OTHER THING THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF WORK ON IS CANOPY. CANOPY IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR RESIDENTS AS WELL AS OUR COMMUNITIES. BASICALLY, THE TYPICAL RULE IS YOU WANT IT TO BE HIGHER THAN 14 FOOT. WELL, YOU'RE GOING TO FIND SOME AREAS THAT IT'S NOT HIGHER THAN 14 FOOT AND CUTTING THAT BRANCHES FROM THE BOTTOM AND FB AND L COLEMAN AND FROM COMING FROM THE TOP AND CUTTING THEM. THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE SEEM TO GET A LOT OF COMMENTS ABOUT. I DON'T SEE THAT BEING A BIG PROBLEM IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. I'M JUST SAYING THOSE ARE THINGS WE WILL LOOK AT AS WE ACTUALLY GET TO THE FINAL DESIGN, TO MAKE IT SO THAT WE DON'T TAKE AWAY CANOPY. THANKS. BOARD MEMBER SCHERER. THANK YOU. YOU KNOW, I GET REALLY EXCITED WHEN I HEAR TREES, SO I'D BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T EMPHASIZE THAT OUR I KNOW PANEL MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE THIS INCLUDED AS PART OF THE PLAN, BUT I, I NOTICED IN THE BUDGET I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING FOR STREET TREES SHADE TREES. SO THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE PLAN, OR WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD HAVE TO COME SUBSEQUENTLY. SO WE ARE GOING TO PLACE TREES WHEREVER IT'S FEASIBLE. AND WE ALSO HAVE THE RESIDENTIAL STREET TREE PROGRAM. SO WE'RE HOPING THAT THE RESIDENTIAL RESIDENTS WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT. THIS YEAR. WE PLANTED 15 TREES IN RESIDENTIAL FRONT YARDS. SO I THINK WITH THIS PROJECT WE'LL GET MORE INTEREST FROM RESIDENTS. AND ALSO WE'RE JUST GOING TO DO WHEREVER IT'S FEASIBLE. AND MAYBE JOE CAN EXPAND ON THAT. WELL, FIRST OF ALL, THE SWALES ARE THE SIDEWALK WILL BE GOING AROUND TREES ON SIDEWALKS. AND AS FAR AS THE SWALE GOES, WE'RE OBVIOUSLY NOT GOING TO CUT DOWN A TREE OR SWALE NICELY. OBVIOUSLY WE DON'T PLAN ON DOING THAT. AND AGAIN, WE'RE NARROWING THE STREET, SO WE'RE TAKING UP WHAT IS ALREADY IN THE ROAD ALREADY AS ROADWAY. SO SO OUR INTENTION IS NOT TO TAKE TREES DOWN IF WE NEED TO. WE NORMALLY WE HAVE A VIDEO OF THE PROJECT BEFORE WE START. AND IF THERE'S A TREE OR SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO WORK INTO IT. I DO HAVE SOME CONTINGENCIES IN THE BUDGET THAT WE CAN PAY FOR. YEAH, GLAD TO HEAR THAT WE ARE TRYING TO MAINTAIN OR KEEP SOME TREES. THAT'S GREAT. I GUESS I WAS THINKING ABOUT ALSO ADDING SOME MORE SHADE TREES AND STREET TREES. OKAY, YOU GOT IT. GOOD. VICE CHAIRPERSON MOSER. 
          THANK YOU. I COULDN'T I DON'T RECALL IN THE BEGINNING OF THE PRESENTATION. DID YOU SAY WHEN YOU DID THE STOP SIGNS THAT YOU DID TRAFFIC COUNTS AT THE CENTER OF THE STREET, OR YOU PUT IN THE SPEED FEEDBACK SIGNS? WELL, WE PUT THE STOP SIGNS AT ALL THE INTERSECTIONS. WE FIRST DID IT JUST ON CORTEZ AVENUE, AND THEN ONCE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB WAS OPEN, WE STARTED GETTING MORE INTEREST FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO PUT IT ON THE OTHER STREETS AND HIGH SCHOOL AVENUES. SO DO WE HAVE TRAFFIC COUNT BEFORE AND AFTER? DO WE HAVE COUNTS FOR ANY OF THE STREETS? YEAH, WHAT WE DID IS WE TOOK COUNTS BEFORE WE PUT THE STOP SIGNS IN. WE DID WE DID TRAFFIC COUNTS AND THEN WE DID THEM AFTER WE PUT THE STOP SIGNS IN TO SEE WHAT THEY DID, THERE WAS A REDUCTION, NOT A SIGNIFICANT I WILL BE HONEST WITH YOU, BUT WE DID SEE A REDUCTION IN TRAFFIC AS WELL AS SPEED. DO YOU RECALL THE NUMBER OF CARS THAT WERE ON THE STREETS? WAS IT HUNDREDS? THOUSANDS? COULD YOU COME TO THE MICROPHONE, PLEASE? OR IS THIS IS THIS A LAYPERSON OR DOES SHE WORK FOR YOU? OH, OKAY. SO HI I'M TERRY ANDRE WITH I'M 
          [00:45:06]
JUST REPORTING THE TRAFFIC COUNTS. MILTON ACTUALLY FROM PUBLIC WORKS IS THE ONE THAT PUT THEM OUT. SO LET'S SEE I DON'T HAVE THE SUMMARY, SO BEAR WITH ME WHILE I GO THROUGH. SO FOR EXAMPLE WE'VE GOT. A SCHOOL PRE HIGH SCHOOL POST. SO HIGH SCHOOL AVENUE AUGUST 25TH. AND WE HAVE HIGH SCHOOL AVENUE JULY 1ST. AND SO THE DIFFERENCE YOU WERE LOOKING FOR VOLUMES SPECIFICALLY TOTAL NUMBERS. YEAH. VEHICLES 1935 BEFORE. AND OVER. THIS IS OVER A 24 HOUR PERIOD OR. IN THE 997 AFTER IT WAS ONE WEEK, ONE WEEK, ONE WEEK. WEEK. OKAY. ONE WEEK. AND I SAID, HOW MUCH WAS THE AFTER 997. THAT'S ON HIGH SCHOOL. ON HIGH SCHOOL. DO YOU WANT ANOTHER ONE FIFTH AVENUE FOR EXAMPLE. THAT'S THE BUSIEST STREET IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD BY FAR. FIFTH AND IN STYPMANN. YEAH, YEAH, I'D RATHER SEE FIFTH AND STYPMANN. ALL RIGHT. 
          I'VE GOT STYPMANN BEFORE 11, 15 AND THEN. DITTMAN AFTER. HOLD ON. THAT WAS JUST ANOTHER LOCATION. LET ME KEEP GOING. I'M GOING TO DO. I CAN I CAN ASK ANOTHER QUESTION. YOU KNOW WHAT? IT PROBABLY WOULD BE BETTER. YOU WANT ME TO KEEP LOOKING? YEAH. YOU CAN KEEP LOOKING. WHY DON'T YOU LOOK AND COME BACK AND. YEAH, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE IT ORGANIZED. OKAY? AND I'LL COME BACK AND CONTINUE WITH HER OTHER QUESTIONS. OKAY. THE STREET LAMPS ARE THOSE PEDESTRIAN SCALE OR THOSE. YEAH. ARE THOSE TALLER PEDESTRIAN. SO WE'RE TALKING 12 TO 16. OKAY. 
          CAN I SAY MY COMMENT NOW? WELL, YOU MAY SAY ANYTHING YOU WISH, MR. MOSER, FOR THE AUDIENCE AND THE RESIDENTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I DON'T WORK IN THE CITY OF STUART, BUT I DO WORK IN TRANSPORTATION. AND TRAFFIC CALMING IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THAT I DO. SO I WAS REALLY EXCITED TO SEE THIS ON THE LIST, AND I'M REALLY HAPPY THAT YOU'RE ALL HERE TODAY. SO YOU PUT THE STOP SIGNS IN BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO STOP THROUGH TRAFFIC, AND YOU WANTED TO SLOW SOME CARS DOWN. AS A CONSULTANT, THE VERY FIRST THING THAT I WOULD TELL YOU TO DO TO SLOW DOWN CARS IS TO NARROW YOUR STREET, EITHER MAKING YOUR TRAVEL LANES NARROWER OR USING TREES TO MAKE THE STREET LOOK. IT'S JUST THE FIRST THING I WOULD TELL YOU TO DO. AND THE REASON IS BECAUSE THE WIDER TRAVELING IS, THE FASTER A CAR GOES ON AN INTERSTATE, THEY'RE 14FT WIDE, SO YOU CAN GO 70 MILES AN HOUR ON A MAJOR ARTERIAL. THEY'RE 12FT WIDE, SO YOU CAN GO 65 URBAN ARTERIAL. THERE ARE GENERALLY 10 TO 11FT WIDE, DEPENDING ON IF YOU GET A LOT OF BUS TRAFFIC ON THE STREET AND THEN LOCAL STREETS, THEY CAN BE SMALLER. ONE OF THE REASONS THEY CAN BE SMALLER IS BECAUSE WE WANT CARS TO GO SLOWER. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION SAKE, WE DO HAVE THESE MEASUREMENTS THAT WERE IN OUR PRESENTATION. THOSE WERE INCLUDING MIRROR WIDTHS. SO THE AVERAGE PICKUP TRUCK IS SIX FEET, EIGHT INCHES WIDE IN THE UNITED STATES. AND THE AVERAGE AMAZON TRUCK IS ABOUT 80 TO 87IN WIDE, NOT INCLUDING THE MIRRORS. SO OUR CARS IS NOT ARE NOT AS WIDE AS WE THINK. THE SAME GOES FOR BOAT TRAILERS, ANY KIND OF TRAILER. LEGALLY, NOTHING CAN BE WIDER THAN EIGHT FEET WIDE OTHER THAN A FIRE OR EMERGENCY ACCESS VEHICLE IN FLORIDA. SO FAR, WHAT WE'VE SEEN WITH THESE TRAFFIC COUNTS ARE WE'RE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A LITTLE OVER 100 CARS A DAY PER STREET. SO IF WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT THE STREET BEING NARROW AND CARS PASSING EACH OTHER, THAT'S JUST NOT GOING TO HAPPEN A LOT. OVER A LITTLE OVER 100 CARS A DAY IS REALLY LOW VOLUME. 
          I LIVE ON 10TH STREET. WE'RE GETTING 3000 CARS A DAY, AND WE STILL DON'T SEE A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, CONFLICT WITH CARS PASSING EACH OTHER. AND I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT FIRE EMERGENCY ACCESS ON THESE STREETS IS GOING TO BE REALLY RARE. IT'S ONLY GOING TO HAPPEN IF THERE'S AN EMERGENCY ON YOUR STREETS, BECAUSE THESE ARE NOT STREETS THAT THE FIRE ACCESS OR THAT THE FIRE TRUCKS NEED TO USE TO GET THROUGH SOMEWHERE ELSE, THEY WOULD BE USING OCEAN BOULEVARD, PALM BEACH ROAD, MLK, BIGGER STREETS, SO THEY CAN GET PLACES FASTER. A FEW MORE THINGS. LET'S SEE. I DO WANT TO POINT OUT LESS ASPHALT MEANS THAT MORE STORM WATER IS ABLE 
          [00:50:07]
TO JUST DRAIN. IT'S NOT GOING TO RUN OFF, SO YOU GET TWO LESS FEET ON EACH OF THESE, FOUR LESS FEET ON EACH OF THESE STREETS THAT THAT REALLY ADDS UP. YOUR ENGINEERS CAN TALK MORE ABOUT THAT IF THEY WANT TO. AND THEN THE LAST POINT I WANT TO MAKE IS WE HAVE ABOUT 20 STREETS NORTH OF EAST OCEAN BOULEVARD. SO JUST DIRECTLY NORTH OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD THAT ARE ALL LESS THAN 16FT WIDE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF OSCEOLA STREET, THEY HAVE BEEN FUNCTIONING THAT WAY FOR I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY DECADES PEOPLE HAVE BOATS, BUYERS ABLE TO ACCESS. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE AT THE CITY CAN TELL ME IF ANYONE HAS EVER ASKED THEM TO WIDEN THEIR STREETS. BUT THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT THESE STREETS AND I WALK THEM ALMOST DAILY IS CARS NEVER SPEED ON THEM, AND YOU SEE PEOPLE OUT WALKING THEIR DOGS AND RIDING THEIR BIKES, AND YOU SEE KIDS ACTUALLY PLAYING IN THE STREET BECAUSE IT'S A COMFORTABLE WIDTH AND THEY FEEL LIKE THEY CAN. SO I'M A I'M A HUGE PROPONENT OF THE NARROWING. MY ENTIRE STREET IS EIGHT FEET WIDE. THE WHOLE STREET. YEAH. YOUR STREET IS VERY NARROW. AND CARS. THAT'S A GOOD POINT. THAT LAST POINT I'LL MAKE, WE'RE CALLING THESE STREETS, BUT TECHNICALLY THESE STREETS, 16FT IS WIDE ENOUGH THAT CARS CAN PASS EACH OTHER. THEY JUST HAVE TO DO IT SLOWLY. A YIELD STREET WOULD BE LIKE FLAMINGO STREET, WHERE IT'S EIGHT FEET WIDE, AND SOMEBODY'S GOT TO STOP AND KIND OF PULL OFF THE ROAD IN ORDER TO LET SOMEONE ELSE PASS. 
          THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE CASE ON A 16 FOOT WIDE STREET. I WOULD ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU JUST TO TAKE A QUICK DRIVE DOWN RIVERSIDE OR WEIR OR CORTEZ ON THE NORTH SIDE. THE STREETS ARE REALLY NARROW AND THERE ARE NO ISSUES ON THOSE STREETS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER BOARD MEMBER? YEAH, I JUST BASICALLY I WONDER IF THERE'S A FURTHER BREAKDOWN ON EXPENSES FOR IMPROVEMENTS AND THE CONSTRUCTION. AVAILABLE. SO. ARE YOU ABLE TO ANSWER THAT OR DOES MR. CAPRA HAVE THAT INFORMATION? THE BREAKDOWN FOR THE DRAINAGE? I'M SURE WE CAN OBTAIN IT. YEAH. YOU DON'T HAVE IT NOW. JUST SO I CAN GET IT. I HAVE A BREAK. I SHOULD HAVE A BREAK. I'M SORRY. YEAH, THERE COULD BE A FURTHER DETAILED BREAKDOWN ON DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT AND CONSTRUCTION ON MR. SO RELATIVE TO THE STORMWATER DRAINAGE, OBVIOUSLY. 
          THERE'S GOING TO GIVE YOU THE BREAKDOWN OF ALL THE RELATIVE. BASICALLY. CONTROL. THEN THERE'S INLET PROTECTION, AND THEN THERE'S A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF DEMOLITION AND CLEARING PUT IN. CERTAINLY THERE'S TESTING. AND THE DIFFERENT SIZED PIPES RANGE FROM 24 INCH, 15, 15 INCH, 24 INCH. PIPE IN THERE CLOSE TO. EXCAVATION. THOSE TYPES OF. APPOINTED INSPECTION. DITCH BOTTOM ON 42 MINUTES. POST MILE SWELLS. I'M HOPING I'M ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION. YOU WANTED TO GO INTO DETAIL, SO THE HOSPITAL FUND, ONE OF THESE ITEMS ARE IN OUR IN OUR GRANT REQUIREMENTS. AND OUR GRANT REQUIREMENTS. SO WE'VE ACTUALLY PUT WE SHOW IN OUR CRITERIA TWO BAFFLE BOXES. I WILL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW BAFFLE BOXES BECOME VERY EXPENSIVE. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THE SAME AMOUNT OF NUTRIENT LOAD REDUCTION WITH SOMETHING ELSE. SO WE WILL LOOK INTO THAT. OBVIOUSLY BAFFLE BOXES I'M SORRY, ONE ON EACH END OF THIS PROJECT OR TWO GOING INTO HIGH SCHOOL POND. YEAH WE GOT ONE. WE HAVE WE PRETTY MUCH HAVE THE TWO OUTFALLS THAT WE HAVE FOR THE WEST SIDE ARE GOING TO GET THOSE. OKAY. THERE'S ALREADY A BAFFLE BOX GOING OUT OF HOSPITAL POND INTO COUGAR CREEK. SORRY ON THAT. NOW WE COULD ALSO DO SOME. SOMETIMES WE MAKE THESE GENERATION ONE BAFFLE BOXES AND IMPROVE TREATMENT BY ADDING AN INSERT TO THEM. WE COULD DO SOME OF THAT IF WE. WELL THERE'S THERE'S AGAIN THERE'S THERE'S A VARIETY OF THINGS. I MEAN WE CAN DO WE CAN DO MORE BIOSWALE WHICH WE HAVE 
          [00:55:05]
WE HAVE THE ROOM FOR IT. WE CAN DO WE CAN DO LITERAL SHELVING. MORE OF THAT. AGAIN, WE CAN IN THE BAFFLE BOXES THAT WE HAVE. WE CAN IMPROVE THEM BY PUTTING INSERTS IN THEM. WE CAN DO THEM AND WE CAN DO INLETS AND DO SOME IMPROVEMENTS INTO THOSE AND FILL WITH SOME TYPE OF FILTERS AND THOSE ANYWAYS. BUT OTHER ITEMS THAT ARE IN THERE IS REPAIRING PAVEMENT RESTORATION, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DO THAT WHEN WE DO THIS, BECAUSE I GOT TO KEEP THE ROADS OPEN FOR PEOPLE TO GET TO THEIR HOMES AND OF COURSE REPAIRING PAVERS, CONCRETE DRIVEWAYS AGAIN, EXCAVATING THE SWELLS AND SODDING THE SWALES. THE PROJECT DOES REQUIRE FOR THE GRANT TO HAVE A MONITORING PROGRAM WHEN WE'RE DONE TO SHOW THAT WE ARE MEETING, WE ARE NUTRIENT REDUCING THE NUTRIENT OR NITROGEN. BY HAND. I JUST WANTED TO BREAK DOWN. SORRY. 
          THE CONTINGENCY IS JUST FOR UNEXPECTED EXPENSES. SO THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION COST WOULD BE IT'S PROPOSED AT 3.3 MILLION, AND ANOTHER MILLION IS JUST FOR UNEXPECTED COSTS. THAT COULD COME UP WHEN WE'RE IN CONSTRUCTION. RIGHT? ACTUALLY, THERE'S LESS THAN A MILLION THAT I WANTED TO SEE. THERE'S A THERE'S ABOUT $380,000 IN CONTINGENCY. SO COULD YOU PULL THE MICROPHONE JUST. THERE YOU GO. THANKS. I DIDN'T WANT TO TOUCH IT AGAIN. IT WOULD MAKE A NOISE. SORRY. BOARD MEMBER MUNROE, DO YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? NO. OKAY. 
          MR. BRAKEBILL. YEAH, I JUST HAVE ONE COMMENT. YOU KNOW, A NUMBER OF YEARS BACK, WE PASSED AN ORDINANCE ABOUT GOLF CARTS. AND, YOU KNOW, THESE TRANSITIONAL NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE YOU'VE GOT OVER HERE WITH STYPMANN AND CORTEZ AND THAT, YOU KNOW, IF WE COULD WORK THAT IN BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE NARROWER STREETS, YOU KNOW, WE'D YOU'D MAYBE HAVE A DEDICATED GOLF CART PATHS. BUT I MEAN, THAT THAT NEIGHBORHOOD IN PARTICULAR OVER THERE, SO CLOSE TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, SO CLOSE TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WOULD BE AN EASY WAY TO MOVE PEOPLE WITHOUT PUTTING CARS ON THE ROAD, YOU KNOW, AND, AND I THINK A LOT OF THE NEIGHBORS AND THEY'RE PROBABLY HAVE A GOLF CART, BUT BUT I KNOW WHAT DOWN THE ROAD IS. WE'RE GETTING OLDER, YOU KNOW, MOVING CARS AROUND. IT'S JUST NICE TO HAVE A GOLF CART AND BE ABLE TO TAKE THEM IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, ESPECIALLY A NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE THAT. THAT'S A NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT BE GOING, IT'S NOT JUST GOING THROUGH IT TO GO SOMEPLACE FAST. YOU'RE ACTUALLY MAYBE GOING TO SOMEPLACE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND YOU WANT TO GET THERE WITHOUT HAVING TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE IT A DIFFICULT PATH. SO I JUST I JUST MENTION THAT MAINLY FOR JOE IN THE FUTURE, IF THERE'S ANY POSSIBILITY OF WORKING IN THE GOLF CART PROCESS TO SOME OF THESE NEIGHBORHOODS, GOLF CARTS ARE LEGAL ON THOSE STUART STREETS. 
          NOW THEY JUST HAVE TO BE REGISTERED. NO PROBLEM IS THAT THEY'RE NOT LEGAL ON THE COUNTY ROADS. SO THEY COULDN'T DRIVE ON PALM BEACH ROAD OR EAST OCEAN BOULEVARD AND OTHERS. SO THEY END UP BEING KIND OF LANDLOCKED WITHIN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS. AND IF THEY TRY TO TAKE THEIR GOLF CART FROM DOWNTOWN AND START DRIVING DOWN EAST OCEAN BOULEVARD, YOU START GETTING AN INTERFERENCE WITH CARS GOING, YOU KNOW, 15 TO 20 MILES AN HOUR. YEAH, 45. AND THAT'S WHAT I, I KNOW THAT THERE AND I HAVE A GOLF CART. SO THAT'S WHY I KNOW THAT. AND, AND ALL THEY GOTTA DO IS BE REGISTERED. THAT'S GREAT. BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS, AS WE'RE GOING FORWARD IN THE FUTURE AND WE'RE REDESIGNING SOME OF THESE NEIGHBORHOODS, PARTICULARLY SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE RIGHT ON THE BORDER OF OF THAT, THE CRA, WHICH THIS IS KIND OF RIGHT ON THE BORDER AND, AND DOWNTOWN, IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE AN EVEN FLOW THAT THERE'S A PATH FOR, FOR PEOPLE THAT WANT TO TAKE THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL ON GOLF CARTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING. AND IT MAYBE COULD SOLVE SOME OF THE LANE PROBLEMS, BECAUSE NOW YOU MIGHT HAVE A BIGGER ROAD THAT YOU COULD USE IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES, BUT SMALLER FOR MOST OF THE NORMAL TRAVEL. ANYWAY, I JUST THROW THAT OUT THERE. OKAY. BOARD MEMBER JAMES, THANK YOU. JUST ONE QUICK QUESTION. I HEARD YOU TALKING ABOUT SOME DRAINAGE AND SEWAGE, AND THERE WOULD BE SOME SOME HOMES THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED, BUT I DIDN'T SEE WHERE THE COST WOULD COME FROM. IF IF YOU HAD TO RELOCATE OR REFIX SOME OF THE DRAINAGE FOR THE HOMES THAT WERE ALONG THOSE AREAS THAT YOU'RE PROPOSING IT, WILL THE CITY PICK THAT CHARGE UP OR WILL THE RESIDENT BE CHARGED FOR THAT? OKAY, SO THIS EXHIBITS THE DRAINAGE EXHIBIT. 
          WE ARE GOING TO BE PUTTING IN DRAINAGE IN THE ROAD RIGHT AWAY. OKAY. IN MOST CASES WHAT'S BLUE ON THERE IS NEW DRAINAGE PIPES OKAY. AND INLETS OVER ON THE LOWER RIGHT HAND SIDE, THE WEST OR THE EAST SIDE, YOU SEE THE RED PIPES. THOSE ARE EXISTING DRAINAGE PIPES. THOSE WILL PROBABLY BE CLEANED. BUT THOSE PIPES ARE ACTIVE IN OUR WORKING. OKAY. BUT AS FAR AS THE DRAINAGE OF OF THE ROAD, ROAD AND THE MAYBE THE SIDEWALK NEXT TO THE ROAD, THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO BE GOING INTO THOSE PIPES. NOW, THE PRIVATE PROPERTIES, YOU KNOW, THEY MAY HAVE SOME DRAINAGE ISSUES ON THEIR PROPERTY. AND AND QUITE FRANKLY, WE LIKE TO ENCOURAGE 
          [01:00:04]
THEM TO, TO HANDLE SOME STORMWATER STORAGE, BUT WE WANT TO ALSO PROVIDE AN AVENUE FOR THEM TO DISCHARGE THEIR WATER. AND THAT'S WHAT THOSE BLUE AND RED PIPES WILL BE FOR. SO THEY CAN, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN THEY CAN GET THE WATER TO THE RIGHT OF WAY. THEN WE CAN PICK IT UP ON THOSE PIPES. SO I'M THE POINT IS, I'M NOT. A $1.6 MILLION GRANT WAS OBTAINED BY THE CRA. THANK YOU. THANK. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF MR. KEPPRA. JUST YOU, MR. VICE MAYOR. NO. 
          YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE WATER. IT'S GOING TO FEED INTO FRAZIER CREEK FROM THE LOWER LEFT. IS THAT TRUE, MR. KAPOOR? ULTIMATELY, THAT DRAINAGE BASIN, ANYTHING THAT GOES TO THE SOUTH. 
          SORRY, TO MLK, INTO THOSE PONDS AND THROUGH AN OUTFALL SYSTEM GOES ULTIMATELY TO FRAZIER CREEK, THE ONE TO THE NORTH EAST, THE RED AND THE BLUE TO THE NORTHEAST. BETWEEN CORTEZ GOES TO HOSPITAL POND, WHICH ULTIMATELY GOES TO KRUGER CREEK. RIGHT. YOU'RE GOING TO BECOME KNOWN AS THE SAVIOR OF FRAZIER CREEK, BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO CLEAN THIS CREEK UP FOR A WHILE, AND ONE OF THE BIG PROBLEMS WE'RE FACING IS INSUFFICIENT FLOW. SO BETWEEN SEACOAST BANK AND THIS, I THINK WE'RE WELL ON OUR WAY TO REVIVING THIS WATERWAY, WHICH WOULD BE HUGE AS REGARDS DRAINAGE AND STORMWATER. THIS IS A HUGE CHALLENGE ALL MUNICIPALITIES ARE GOING TO FACE. A LITTLE ANECDOTE. MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING BACK FROM NORTH CAROLINA LAST NIGHT. WE WERE IN JUST NORTH OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY AROUND 430. WE WERE IN THE HARDEST AND WE'VE LIVED HERE 45 YEARS. THE HARDEST RAINSTORM WE HAVE EVER BEEN IN. THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF CARS PULLED OVER ON 95. I'D NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE. 
          ANYWHERE NEAR THAT NUMBER OF CARS PULLED OFF. PEOPLE WERE DESPERATE TO GET OFF AT THE EXITS. I LEARNED TODAY THAT THAT MUNICIPALITY BROKE ITS RAINFALL RECORD BY 275%. THESE ARE THE TYPE OF EVENTS WE'RE SEEING NOW, BOTH IN QUANTITY AND DURATION. AND SO I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE THAT WE'RE MAKING THE COMMITMENT TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD TO GET THAT WATER OUT OF THERE. AND THESE ARE STEPS WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO TAKE. I ASSUME, MR. KAPOOR, THESE CONFORM TO THE UPDATED STORMWATER REGS GOING INTO EFFECT JANUARY 1ST. SO THAT'S JUST I'M SO HAPPY WE CAN PROVIDE THIS FOR THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. AS FAR AS THE NARROWING. SO I LIVE ON FLAMINGO NORTH OF EAST OCEAN. IT'S A LITTLE ONE LANE STREET. 
          HE KNOWS IT. THE CITY HAS PROPOSED A VERY TIMES TO WIDEN IT, AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD FREAKS OUT. THEY'RE LIKE, DON'T YOU DARE WIDEN THAT STREET BECAUSE IT IS. PEOPLE DRIVE SO SLOWLY AND THE KIDS LOVE TO GO ON AND EVERYBODY LIKES TO WALK ON IT. I REMEMBER WHEN WE PROPOSED NARROWING COLORADO ON MY. YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT WE WERE SAYING NO CARS WOULD EVER BE ALLOWED ON COLORADO. AND IT'S PROVED TO BE A HUGE SUCCESS. WE CREATED A WHOLE NEW NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE CITY OF STUART, THE CREEK DISTRICT. AND IF YOU I REMEMBER WHEN WE. SO THERE'S ANOTHER WORD FOR THIS IS CALLED ROAD DIET IS SORT OF THE TERM OF ART THAT USED IN THE POTSDAM NEIGHBORHOOD OVER THERE ON WEST OCEAN, ABOVE WEST OCEAN THERE. WHEN WE STARTED TALKING TO THEM ABOUT NARROWING THOSE ROADS, THEY'RE LIKE, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. AND YET NOW IF YOU I'M PRETTY CONFIDENT IF YOU TALK TO ANYBODY WHO LIVED THERE, THEY WOULD BE LIKE, BOY, THAT WAS THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO THAT IS A VERY CHARMING, WALKABLE, SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD. SO I DO APPRECIATE THESE PROS. PROPOSAL. WE HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE AROUND THE COUNTRY WITH NARROWING WITH ROAD DIETS, AND THEY CAN BE VERY EFFECTIVE. SO ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM ANY OF THE BOARD MEMBERS? IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION SO WE CAN GET TO PUBLIC COMMENT. I APPROVE THIS RESOLUTION. YEAH. RESOLUTION NUMBER OH EIGHT 2025. RESOLUTION OF THE SECOND MR. HAS PRESENTED COMMISSIONER CLARK. YES, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER CLARK AND WHO SECONDED THAT THE VICE MAYOR, 
          [01:05:01]
DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? MADAM CLERK WANTED TO READ THE RESOLUTION, I THINK. I DON'T THINK IT'S NECESSARY. DO YOU? OKAY. WE DO HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT. WE HAVE KEVIN HEMPEL. OH. KEVIN HEMPEL. IS MISS HEMPEL HERE? MR. HEMPEL, I'M SORRY. MY LONG TIME. IF YOU COULD JUST IDENTIFY YOURSELF AND YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE. I'M SORRY. IF YOU COULD JUST IDENTIFY YOURSELF AND STATE YOUR ADDRESS. ALRIGHT, I APOLOGIZE, I HAVE TROUBLE HEARING. SO EVERYBODY THINKS I'M YELLING. I'M JUST TRYING TO TALK. MY NAME IS KEVIN HEMPEL. I LIVE AT 512 SOUTHEAST CORTEZ AVENUE. IT'S ON THE CORNER OF CORTEZ AND STEDMAN. I'D LIKE TO BEGIN BY READING PART OF AN EMAIL. MY WIFE AND I SENT JOE CAPRON LAST MAY 23RD. HI, JOE. GOOD SEEING YOU AT THE STEDMAN NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING. WE ARE FORTUNATE TO LIVE IN STUART. I'M A RETIRED CITY WORKER AND KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO KEEP EVERYBODY HAPPY. OUR CITY STAFF DOES A GREAT JOB. 
          WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL. THE DRAINAGE AND SIDEWALK PROJECT IS MOVING FORWARD. AS I TOLD YOU AT THE MEETING, MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN IN FAVOR OF A SIDEWALK CONNECTING MARTIN LUTHER KING BOULEVARD WITH EAST OCEAN BOULEVARD. WHILE OUR FLOODING IS DANGEROUS, WALKING DOWN CORTEZ AVENUE IS EVEN MORE THREATENING. LIVING ON THE CORNER OF CORTEZ AND STEDMAN FOR 40 YEARS, WE HAVE SEEN MOTHERS PUSHING BABY CARRIAGES, PEOPLE IN WHEELCHAIRS GOING TO THE 900 BUILDING AND OTHER MEDICAL OFFICES. THE NEW STOP SIGNS HAVE BEEN A BIG HELP. 
          VIRTUALLY NOW ONLY LOCAL TRAFFIC COMES DOWN CORTEZ AVENUE. ALSO, THE 25 MILE PER HOUR SPEED LIMIT IS BEING OBSERVED. IN NO WAY DO WE WANT TO SLOW DOWN THE PROCESS TO INSTALL A NEW SIDEWALK. SINCE 86, WE'VE SEEN WHEN WE BOUGHT OUR HOUSE SEVERAL TIMES, WE'VE SEEN DOGS AND CATS KILLED ON THAT CORNER. HOWEVER, WE'RE HOPING THAT THE FINAL DESIGN WILL RESPECT THE 40 YEARS OF LANDSCAPING MY WIFE AND I HAVE INSTALLED ALONG CORTEZ AVENUE. 
          PLEASE, IF YOU CAN SAY WHAT, SAY WHAT YOU CAN. BUT IF A PALM TREE MUST BE MOVED TO SAVE A LIFE, THE CITY HAS OUR FULL TOTAL SUPPORT. OUR ONLY CONCERN REGARDING A SIDEWALK ON THE WEST SIDE OF CORTEZ IS THE DRAINAGE NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED. WHEN DESIGNING THE SIDEWALK, PLEASE DO NOT CONSTRUCT A DAM THAT WILL PREVENT THE WATER FROM FLOWING OUT OF OUR BACKYARD TO THE EXISTING DRAIN. AS I SAID, MY NAME IS KEVIN HEMPEL. I FIRST CAME TO STUART IN 1971. APRIL SPRING BREAK. I WAS THE CITY STUART BUILDING OFFICIAL IN THE LATE 1990S. I HAVE AN URBAN STUDIES DEGREE. I HAVE A CIVIL ENGINEERING DEGREE AND A DEGREE OF AN ARTS DEGREE IN ARCHITECTURE. I'M A LICENSED GENERAL CONTRACTOR. I'M A LICENSED BUILDING OFFICIAL. I EARNED MY STATE LICENSE FOR FIRE INSPECTOR AND PLAN REVIEW IN 85. WE PURCHASED OUR HOME FROM JUDGE DAVID HARPER ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF CORTEZ AND STEDMAN. IN THE EARLY 2000, MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED OUR SECOND RENTAL HOME ON THE SOUTH WEST CORNER OF CORTEZ AND STEDMAN, WHICH IS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. OVER THE DECADES, MY WIFE AND I HAVE INVESTED HEAVILY IN REHABILITATING BOTH HOMES BEYOND THE MINIMUM CURRENT BUILDING CODES, INCLUDING ELECTRIC, HVAC, PLUMBING SYSTEMS, METAL ROOF WINDOWS, EXTERIOR DOORS, AND ACCORDION SHUTTERS. HOWEVER, OUR HOME AT 847 INTERIOR FLOODS WHEN IT RAINS HEAVILY. I HAVE VIDEOS AND PHOTOS ON MY PHONE I COULD SHARE WITH YOU. WE NEED TO AT THE TIME. YES, YES THAT'S ALRIGHT, YOU CAN FINISH. SIR. WE NEED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I APPRECIATE THAT. HOWEVER I HAVE. 
          WE NEED YOUR HELP TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. THIS SITUATION WAS INADVERTENTLY CREATED BY THE CITY 20 SOME YEARS AGO WHEN THEY DID THE INITIAL STORM DRAINAGE PROJECT. MY WIFE AND I SPENT SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS OVER THE YEARS CORRECTING THE DRAINAGE PROBLEM THAT FLOODS THE INTERIOR OF OUR HOUSE ALONG CORTEZ AVENUE. WE PLEAD FOR A NEW SIDEWALK SIMILAR AS LOCATED ON KINDRED NEAR THE POST OFFICE, WITH A GUTTER BETWEEN THE STREET AND THE SIDEWALK. THERE ARE MANY EVANGELISTS TO SIGN, INCLUDING COST SAVINGS, THE NEW SIDEWALK IMPACT TO THE PROPERTY'S EXISTING LANDSCAPE WILL BE MINIMAL. WITH HUMILITY, I'M A RESOURCE OF HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE OVER 40 YEARS NEIGHBORHOOD AND I WILL BE WILLING TO HELP IN GETTING INVOLVED. OUR LAST COMMENT IS PLEASE LISTEN TO OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND THANK YOU TO THE CRA BOARD AND THE CITY COMMISSION FOR CARING AND ALL YOUR HARD WORK. THANK YOU. WE DO APPRECIATE IT. PETER MARTINEZ. THAT'S ALL. CORTEZ TO US. HE'S A CUTE LITTLE HOUSE. 
          GOOD EVENING. MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS, STAFF, BOARD MEMBERS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. WE DEFINITELY ARE VERY ENCOURAGED WITH THE PLANS, WHICH HAVE BEEN GOING FORWARD FOR THE NARROWING OF THE STREET WITH THE NEW SIDEWALKS AND ALSO WITH THE SIR, COULD YOU JUST 
          [01:10:08]
WITH THE DRAINAGE BY YOURSELF AND GIVE US YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE? YES. PETER MARTINEZ 712 SOUTHEAST STILLMAN BOULEVARD. THANK YOU. OKAY, CONTINUE. THANK YOU. SO WE DEFINITELY HAVE A VERY ENCOURAGED WITH ALL THE INVESTMENT AT $5 MILLION INVESTMENT BEING MADE IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE'RE VERY ENCOURAGED FOR THAT AND WE THANK YOU FOR IT. THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU SIR. MARIA MARTINEZ. GOOD EVENING. MARIA MARTINEZ. 712 SOUTHEAST BOULEVARD, STUART. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, EACH OF YOU, FOR BEING HERE. THANK YOU FOR THINKING ABOUT THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. I HAVE TO AGREE WITH. BONNIE BOWSHER. MISS MOSHER. STATEMENT. I HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT STATEMENT NEIGHBORHOOD NOT WANTING TO YIELD. AND MY HUSBAND AND I DROVE AROUND. I BELIEVE IT WAS FLAMINGO OR SOMEWHERE AROUND THERE WHERE THE STREET WAS ONLY EIGHT FEET. AND THEN WE DROVE AROUND. THE ONES THAT THE STREET WAS SIX WERE 16FT. AND VERSUS STATEMENT. AND WE REALLY LIKED WHAT WE SAW. WE SAW STREET, NOT THE EIGHT FOOT, OBVIOUSLY THE 16, BUT WE DID SEE THE STREET WHERE CARS CAN COME AND GO. BUT IT WAS A MORE COMMUNITY LIKE FEEL AND I THINK IT WILL STOP TRAFFIC. THE NOT THE TRAFFIC, MAYBE AS MUCH AS THE SLOWING IT DOWN THE THE LARGER SIDEWALKS ARE GREAT. THE. DRAINAGE IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL BECAUSE WE HAVE THE SAME ISSUES THAT MAYOR CAMPBELL WAS SPEAKING ABOUT, AND WE WILL HAVE THEM, WHETHER WE LIKE THEM OR NOT. AND WE WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND I'M I'M JUST SPEAKING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON APPROVING THE CRA PLAN FOR STATEMENT, AS WE HEARD THAT IN TIMES PRIOR, THERE WAS NONE. IT WASN'T APPROVED. WE WE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THAT. 
          THANK YOU, THANK YOU. GLEN COLLINS. GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS GLEN COLLINS, 636 SOUTHEAST FIFTH STREET. NO RELATION. BETWEEN MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. WE OWN FOUR PROPERTIES, TWO ON SIXTH STREET OR FIFTH STREET AND TWO ON STYPMANN. WE'RE TOTALLY IN FAVOR OF THIS. 
          MOSTLY FOR THE TRAFFIC CALMING AND HOPEFULLY TO GET RID OF SOME OF THE TRAFFIC. I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS THE TRAFFIC, STUDY IT. THE FIRST AND SECOND ONE. IT WAS ALREADY AFTER THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB HAD OPENED, SO IT DIDN'T REALLY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE THE INFLUX OF TRAFFIC THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED AFTER THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB CAME IN. COMMISSIONER REED'S COMMENT REGARDING TRAILERS I HAVE A TRAILER, A COUPLE LARGE TRAILERS, WHETHER THE THE WHETHER THE STREETS TEN FEET WIDE OR 20FT WITH A TEN FOOT LANES OR EIGHT FEET, YOU'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE TO USE TWO LANES TO BACK YOUR TRAILER IN. SO THAT'S NOT REALLY A CONCERN FOR ME. MR. SHEARER, YOU MENTIONED TREES. I LOVE TREES AS WELL. I'M HOPING THAT WITH THE NARROWING OF THE STREETS, WE CAN HAVE, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, THEM TREE LINED. AND THEN, MISS MOSER, WHAT A BREATH OF FRESH AIR. I HOPE THAT HER COMMENTS CAN BE READ AGAIN BEFORE YOU VOTE, BECAUSE EVERYTHING SHE SAID IS EXACTLY WHAT I AGREE WITH. AND THEN JUST STUFF THAT SHE SAID ABOUT THE, YOU KNOW, LESS ASPHALT, THE THE WATER CAN PERCOLATE INTO THE GROUND. IT JUST MAKES SENSE. AND, YOU KNOW, YOU GO ON TO THE NORTH SIDE OF OCEAN AND THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE BEAUTIFUL THERE. AND I'M HOPING THAT WE CAN, YOU KNOW, HAVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD GO IN THAT DIRECTION. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ED STOUT. HELLO. ED STOUT, 600 STYPMANN. DEFINITELY 
          [01:15:08]
APPRECIATIVE OF ALL THE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING, BUT WHY DON'T WE SAVE $300,000 AND GET TO THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM? AND WHY DON'T WE ASK BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB TO USE THEIR MAIN ENTRANCE INSTEAD OF USING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD? I MEAN, THAT WOULD SOLVE THE TRAFFIC PROBLEM. THAT'S WHERE IT ALL CAME FROM. THE PROBLEM WITH THAT, THEY WHEN THEY BUILT IT, THEY TOLD US THEY WEREN'T GOING TO USE THAT ROAD EXCEPT FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES, AND NOW THEY'RE USING IT FOR THEIR MAIN ENTRANCE. SO. IS THAT HIGH SCHOOL AVENUE YOU'RE SAYING? YES. CORRECT. YEAH. THEY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL MAIN ENTRANCE ON MARTIN LUTHER BOULEVARD, AND SOMETIMES THEY HAVE THE GATE COMPLETELY CLOSED. AND SO EVERYONE HAS TO USE HIGH SCHOOL. WE'VE HAD THOUSANDS OF TRAFFIC COMING UP AND DOWN, SPEEDING. 
          THEY RUN THE STOP SIGN. IT'S CRAZY. I MEAN, YOU'RE GOING TO PUT AN ARROW ROAD. THEY'RE JUST GOING TO SPEED DOWN THE ROAD, YOU KNOW, I MEAN I'LL BRING THAT UP. I MEAN, WE'VE, WE'VE WE'VE ASKED I'VE CALLED MR. MARTELL. I'VE CALLED THE COMMISSIONER. I'LL TALK TO THE. 
          SOMEONE NEEDS TO TALK TO BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB. WE HAVE SENT LETTERS TO THEM AND THEY IGNORE ME. SO THAT'S WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN FOR OUR TRAFFIC IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND FOR THE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING ELSE. IT'S ALL GOOD STUFF. THANK YOU. EDIFICATION. I HAVE MET WITH THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AND THERE WAS SOME CONSTRUCTION ISSUES WE WERE ALSO GETTING. THE ROAD RESURFACED OVER THERE. WE DID SPEAK WITH THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, AND THEY CLAIM THAT THEY TELL THE PARENTS THAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO USE THE FRONT DRIVEWAY TO PICK UP THEIR CHILDREN, BUT THERE'S A CERTAIN GROUP OF PARENTS THAT DON'T CARE AND THAT IT'S FASTER. IF YOU'RE COMING OFF EAST OCEAN BOULEVARD JUST TO CUT THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL AND COME IN THE BACK GATE. AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE FRONT GATE EVER BEING CLOSED OR NOT, BUT BUT IN THE AFTERNOON, I DO KNOW THAT THERE ARE PARENTS THAT USE THE FRONT GATE AS WELL. BUT THERE IS A CONSISTENT FLOW EVERY AFTERNOON FROM 3 TO 7 P.M. OR SO OF PEOPLE AFTER WORK, SCRAMBLING TO GET OVER THERE TO PICK UP THEIR KID AND GET OUT THE BACK AS FAST AS THEY CAN. AND I THINK THEY USE IT AS A MEANS BECAUSE THEY FIND IT MORE CONVENIENT OR FASTER FOR THEM TO DO SO. BUT I HAD BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB AND IT IS WORTH FOLLOWING UP ON. AND IN FACT, I JUST SUGGESTED THAT THEY CLOSE THE GATE FROM 3 TO 7 IN THE BACK BECAUSE IF IT'S JUST EMPLOYEES, THEN THE EMPLOYEES CAN EITHER DRIVE OUT THE FRONT IF THEY'RE GETTING OFF WORK OR IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE THERE ANYWAY. THEY DON'T NEED TO HAVE THE GATE OPEN TO GET OUT. BUT I ALSO KNOW THERE MAY BE SOME FIRE ISSUES WITH THAT AS WELL, BUT WE HAVEN'T. SO IT'S SOMETHING TO IT'S SOMETHING THE COMMISSION CAN INVESTIGATE FURTHER. LET IT BE KNOWN THAT I DO LOVE EVERYTHING THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB DOES. I JUST DON'T LIKE THE WAY THEY'RE DOING IT. THEIR THEIR MOTTO IS TO BUILD BETTER COMMUNITIES. AND THIS IS NOT BUILDING A BETTER COMMUNITY. BUT THANK YOU. HAVE A QUICK COMMENT. YEAH, JUST QUICKLY ON THAT. IF THEY HAVE A MAIN ENTRANCE, THEY SHOULD USE IT. MAYBE WE COULD FOR SOME TIME DIRECT TRAFFIC OFF OF THAT BACK ENTRANCE. THAT JUST BECOMES SOMETHING THAT THE PARENTS GET USED TO. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE THERE. IT DOESN'T HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE GATES WILL BE OPEN. MAYBE THERE'S FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THAT WE COULD DO THAT AS REDIRECT THE TRAFFIC. 
          AND I JUST THINK, AND MAYBE WE DO NEED TO BRING IT UP ON AN AGENDA ITEM. SO CAN I MAKE A REQUEST TO HAVE THAT ON AGENDA ITEM. SO NOTED. THANK YOU. NEXT PLEASE. MAYOR WE HAVE NO FURTHER COMMENTS. NO ADDITIONAL COMMENTS? NO, SIR. SHOCKING. CERTAINLY, SIR. MY NAME IS JOHN LEIGHTON, 600 SOUTHEAST OCEAN BOULEVARD. JOE, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT IN THE CORRIDOR WHERE HIGH SCHOOL AVENUE IS AND. FIFTH STREET, THAT IN THAT WHOLE AREA THAT'S ALL DRAINING OUT TOWARD MARTIN LUTHER KING, IS THAT CORRECT? THERE? WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A PIPE SYSTEM THAT'S GOING TO COME DOWN FROM, AS YOU KNOW, FROM EAST OCEAN SOUTH AT THAT POINT. I KNOW SOME OF THE STUFF THAT IN THE NORTH END GOES TO THE EAST OCEAN BOULEVARD. I AGREE WITH THAT. BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN INLET THERE AND TAKE IT TO THE SOUTH, TO THE SYSTEM THAT ULTIMATELY IS THE SAME SYSTEM THAT ACTUALLY WAS BUILT BY THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB. BUT WE WERE GOING TO YOU CAN SEE THE BLUE BLUE PIPES THERE. SO IS IS THE AT THE CORNER OF OCEAN AND HIGH SCHOOL AT THAT INLET GOES TO THE COUNTY. YEAH. AND HAVE YOU HAD A DISCUSSION WITH THEM ABOUT THAT ISSUE. ACTUALLY I THINK THE MILTON I THINK YOU JUST RECENTLY CLEANED THAT INLET OUT AND SO, SO THE, THE, THE CITY IS ACTUALLY MAINTAINING THAT INLET. OKAY. AND SO BECAUSE IT WAS CLOGGED THERE'S A BIG PROBLEM. YEAH. 
          RIGHT. SO AND THAT'S WHY HE'S BEEN CHECKING IT AND SEEING IF IT SOLVES IT BY CLEANING IT OUT. 
          OKAY. AND THEN DOWN AT THE CORNER OF FIFTH STREET AND HIGH SCHOOL AVENUE IN THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT, THERE IS AN INLET THERE THAT GOES INTO A FILTRATION SYSTEM. OKAY. AND IT 
          [01:20:06]
HERE'S YOUR YOUR CONNECTING THAT. BUT I'M NOT SURE BECAUSE I DO KNOW DOWN THERE IS A. 
          CONCRETE INLET THERE THAT CONNECTED THOSE. AND YOU WOULD HAVE POSITIVE OUT. RIGHT. AND THAT'S WHAT OUR PLAN IS TO TAKE. YEAH. THAT'S YEAH. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE IT ACROSS THE STREET AND TIGHTEN THAT SYSTEM AND COME BACK SOUTH AND THEN BRING THE SYSTEM FARTHER SOUTH ALL THE WAY TO. YEAH. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. COULD YOU FILL OUT A GREEN CARD, MR. LEYTON, I NO OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT. OKAY. ARE THERE IS THERE A DISCUSSION AMONGST THE BOARD MEMBERS REGARDING COMMISSIONER, CLERK, COMMISSIONER? YES. I JUST HAVE A QUESTION FOR JOE, PLEASE. I'M SORRY. THAT'S OKAY. THE FAMILY THAT LIVES ON THE CORNER OF CORTEZ AND PITMAN. YOU'RE DOING DRAINAGE. OH, SORRY. THE FAMILY THAT LIVES ON THE CORNER OF CORTEZ AND PITMAN. YOU'LL BE DOING DRAINAGE. WILL THAT CORRECT THEIR PROBLEM? YES. WE MET WITH KEVIN QUITE A FEW TIMES, SO. BUT BUT YEAH, SOME OF THE STUFF I'M ACTUALLY PUTTING SOME INLETS THERE FOR THAT. BUT BUT HE HAS A UNIQUE PROBLEM WITH THE SIDEWALK TOO. 
          SO AND I'LL BE WORKING ON THAT. BUT ALSO THE WATER, AS YOU KNOW, WE'RE PUTTING THE SIDEWALK ON HIS SIDE OF CORTEZ, OKAY. AND HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WATER FROM HIS LOT STILL HAS AN AVENUE OF OUT FROM HIS LOT TO, TO THAT SYSTEM THAT I'M PUTTING IN THERE. IT JUST WASN'T CLEAR SOMETIMES. YEAH IT IS. THANK YOU JOE. YEAH. IT'S NOT VERY CLEAR ON THE MAP. SORRY. THANK YOU. MR. MR. HEMPHILL? YEAH? MAY I SAY SOMETHING? I'M SORRY. MAY I SAY SOMETHING? OH, I HAD A COMMENT ABOUT THIS. OKAY, SO I DID RECEIVE AN EMAIL FROM EMAILS FROM SOME OF THE RESIDENTS ALONG STILLMAN BOULEVARD THAT DID NOT WANT NARROW STREET. I KNOW WE'RE HEARING TONIGHT THAT SOME OF THEM WANTED. SO I JUST WANT TO BE TRANSPARENT. YOU KNOW, THAT WHEN WE MAKE WHEN WE GIVE DIRECTION TO STAFF, WHETHER ON STILLMAN, DO WE WANT TO KEEP THE NARROW STREET OR DO WE WANT TO KEEP THE EXISTING WIDTH OF THE STREETS? I DO NEED DIRECTION ON THAT, BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE RESIDENTS COULD NOT BE HERE BECAUSE OF THEIR WORK OR WHATEVER. SO YEAH. THANK YOU. IS THAT INCLUDED IN THIS, WHAT YOU'RE ASKING THAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS? YEAH. RIGHT NOW WE'RE SHOWING NARROW STREET ON STILLMAN, CORTEZ AND FIFTH STREET. BUT SINCE THEN, I'VE RECEIVED EMAILS FROM SOME OF THE RESIDENTS ALONG STILLMAN, ONLY THAT THEY DID NOT PREFER NARROW STREET JUST BECAUSE OF THE, YOU KNOW, IF THEY HAVE TRAILER OR BOATS OR SOMETHING, THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAD ENOUGH WIDTH FOR THAT. 
          BUT WE SPOKE ABOUT THAT HERE. SO IS THAT WHAT MR. COLLINS BROUGHT UP OR YOU SAID IT DIDN'T MATTER. HE IS ON FIFTH STREET. HE'S ON FIFTH STREET. YEAH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THE RESIDENT ON FIFTH STREET AND CORTEZ ARE THEY HAVE CONSENSUS FOR NARROW STREET. IT'S JUST A STATEMENT. THAT'S OKAY. THANK YOU. THANKS. THANKS. WE WE HEAR THAT. AND THE MOTION IS CURRENTLY FOR THIS RESOLUTION AS WRITTEN. YES. TO BE ADOPTED AS WRITTEN. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS? YES. MR. CLARK, SOMEBODY HAD BROUGHT UP ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND I KNOW THAT IN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN WE HAVE THE IDEA OF OF WORKING ON VARIOUS NEIGHBORHOOD. AND I APPRECIATE MISS MOSHER BEING ON THE BOARD AND OTHER PEOPLE BRINGING UP NEIGHBORHOODS. I KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE CONSIDERING SOMETHING ELSE WHICH IS STILL WITHIN THIS AREA. 
          WHEN WE LOOK AGAIN AT THE HIGH SCHOOL AVENUE AND WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB. BUT FOR THE PUBLIC, IF THERE'S ANYTHING AT ALL IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, BRING IT UP TO US. BRING IT UP TO STAFF SO THAT WHEN WE HAVE FUNDS OR THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE PLANS TO USE CRA FUNDS, THEN WE'LL HAVE PROJECTS THAT WE CAN WORK ON. SO THAT'S IMPORTANT TO BRING THAT UP OR TO BRING IT UP TO ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CRB BOARD OR OR CRA IN GENERAL.

INTERESTING SUGGESTION. I WILL BE GOING INTO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD TRYING TO MEET WITH THE YOU, AS MANY AS MANY OF YOU AS I CAN, TO DISCUSS WHAT'S REQUIRED WITH REGARD TO THE BANYAN TREE ON JUST ON STATEMENT. SO I WILL BRING MR. SHERE WITH ME, SINCE NO TREES HAVE NO GREATER ADVOCATES THAN MR. SHERE, SO THAT IS AN ISSUE WE WILL ADDRESS. THERE ARE MANY CONFLICTING INTERESTS WHEN IT COMES TO TREES.
