Mar 10, 2026 Planning and Zoning

EVENING, EVERYONE,

[00:00:03]

[Call To Order]

CHAIR, KEVIN KERN, VICE CHAIR, AND BETH KELSO, COMMISSIONER, MICHAEL CASSATT LEE, COMMISSIONER, ROBERT GRABOWSKI HERE COMMISSIONER MARTY ROVAL, COMMISSIONER, DAVID THOMPSON, COMMISSIONER KAREN VINSON. COMMISSIONER PAUL KEENAN. COMMISSIONER BETH, I'M SORRY, CYNTHIA BLUM. HERE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NOW WE'VE ESTABLISHED A QUORUM. IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK BEFORE THE COMMISSION THIS EVENING, PLEASE SUBMIT A GREEN COMMENT CARD TO THE SECRETARY UP FRONT. THE NEXT SECTION IS NON-AGENDA TOPICS. THESE ARE CITIZEN COMMENTS UNRELATED TO AGENDA ITEMS. THE BOARD WILL NOT DISCUSS THESE ITEMS THIS EVENING. ANY ISSUES WILL BE NOTED BY STAFF FOR FOLLOW-UP AS APPROPRIATE.

SPEAKERS WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO EXPRESS THEIR COMMENTS.

STAFF, ARE THERE ANY COMMENT CARDS FROM THE PUBLIC, OR ARE THERE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? NO, CHAIR, NOT AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU. NEXT ON THE AGENDA, WE NEED

[MINUTES]

CHAIRMAN, THERE WAS ONE CHANGE THAT I SUGGESTED ON MY COMMENTS ON PAGE FIVE OF 171. IT SAYS VICE CHAIR KELSO RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT THE ADJACENT GAS STATION AND POTENTIAL OUTDOOR SEATING. I'D LIKE TO REMOVE THE RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT THE ADJACENT GAS STATION.

I DIDN'T HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT IT. I WAS ACTUALLY HAPPY ABOUT IT. VERY GOOD. SO WITH THOSE CHANGES, ANY OTHER CHANGES? SO WITH THAT, COULD I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MODIFIED MEETING MINUTES? SECONDED. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY, AYE. AYE.

PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING MINUTES ARE APPROVED. NEXT ITEM IS THE REGULAR AGENDA. ARE

[ORDER OF BUSINESS]

NO. OKAY. NEXT, CAN THE SECRETARY PLEASE SWEAR IN THE WITNESSES? THIS IS FOR THE APPLICANTS AND STAFF WHO MAY BE PROVIDING TESTIMONY THIS EVENING. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC MAKING COMMENTS.

MR. CHAIRMAN, THESE ARE NOT QUASI-JUDICIAL ITEMS, SO THERE IS NO SWEARING IN, AND THERE ARE NO EX PARTE DISCLOSURES. AND IF YOU TURN TO PAGE TWO OF YOUR AGENDA, THE ORDER OF BUSINESS, I'D LIKE THE CORRECT... THE ORDER OF BUSINESS, BECAUSE THAT ORDER OF BUSINESS GOES TO A QUASI-JUDICIAL ITEM, WHICH NONE OF THESE APPLICATIONS ARE.

THEY'RE ALL LEGISLATIVE ITEMS. SO THERE'LL BE A STAFF PRESENTATION, COMMISSION QUESTIONS OF THE STAFF, PUBLIC TO BE HEARD. WELL, I GUESS THE APPLICANT, IF THEY HAVE A PRESENTATION, THEY WOULD ALSO MAKE THAT PUBLIC TO BE HEARD MOTION ON THE FLOOR. AND I KNOW YOU HAVE A NUMBER OF...

INDIVIDUALS HERE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT IN SOME HEARINGS OF PLANNING AND ZONING AND COUNCIL, WHERE THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS WISHING TO SPEAK THERE. THERE TEND TO SOMETIMES BE REPETITIVE COMMENTS IN SUPPORT OF AN APPLICATION, SO IF A SPEAKER HAS A REPETITIVE COMMENT, FOR EXAMPLE. IF IT'S JUST FOR SUPPORT, THEY CAN SPEAK TO THAT ISSUE, OR THE CHAIR CAN ASK. I'VE SEEN SOMETIMES THEY JUST ASK THOSE OF YOU IN THE AUDIENCE THAT SUPPORT THE APPLICATION, PLEASE STAND UP OR RAISE YOUR HAND OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT TENDS TO SIMPLIFY THE AND SHORTEN THE PROCESS A LITTLE BIT. SO THOSE ARE MY WORDS OF WISDOM. IF YOU WILL FOR YOU OR THE VICE CHAIR, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO AT THIS TIME, I'M GOING TO LEAVE THE MEETING AND TURN IT OVER TO THE VICE CHAIR.

MIKE, TWO YOUNG SONS ATTEND.

JUPITER, CHRISTIAN, AND I'LL HAVE A VOTING CONFLICT ONCE THE SITE PLAN IS BROUGHT FORWARD IN A QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING, AND WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE THEN.

CONSEQUENTLY, I BELIEVE IT'S PRUDENT FOR ME NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN TONIGHT'S DISCUSSION REGARDING THE ASSIGNMENT OF LAND USE AND ZONING, WHICH PRECEDES THE SITE PLAN HEARING.

SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MY VICE CHAIR, JEFF KELSO. THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN KERN. OKAY, IS THERE ANY OLD BUSINESS? GREAT. ALL RIGHT, WE MOVE ON

[2. Jupiter Christian School Legacy Campus (fka Hawkeye)]

[00:05:02]

WOULD YOU HAVE 15 MINUTES? GOOD EVENING. EXCUSE ME. MY NAME IS JAY BOGGESS AND I HUMBLY SERVE AS THE PRESIDENT OF JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL.

I'M STANDING HERE TODAY TO SHARE WITH YOU THE HEART BEHIND OUR PROPOSED LEGACY CAMPUS. MS. VICE CHAIR, WITH YOUR DISCRETION, I'D RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN ADDITIONAL FIVE MINUTES AS PART OF THE PRESENTATION TIME DUE TO THE SCOPE AND COMPLEXITY BEING DISCUSSED THIS EVENING. IS THAT POSSIBLE? PRETTY ATYPICAL, BUT IT'S THE BOARD'S DECISION.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH ALLOWING THE EXTRA FIVE MINUTES? OKAY, SO GRANTED.

THANK YOU. MUCH APPRECIATED.

IF YOU WOULD, INDULGE ME. I WANT TO TAKE YOU BACK A MOMENT IN TIME TO 1963. IT IS REPRESENTATIVE OF AN ASSASSINATION OF AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT, JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY. MARTIN LUTHER KING GIVES HIS FAMOUS I HAVE A DREAM SPEECH AND BEATLEMANIA IS GOING THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. BUT HERE IN JUPITER, 1963 REPRESENTS SO MUCH MORE. A SMALL CONTINGENT OF JUPITER FAMILIES STEPPED OUT IN FAITH. THEY WANTED TO DO EDUCATION DIFFERENTLY.

THEY WANTED ACADEMIC RIGOR, OF COURSE, BUT THEY WANTED TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK THE NAME OF JESUS IN EVERY CLASSROOM.

AND SO TONIGHT, I DON'T LOOK BACK 63 YEARS AND THINK, DID THEY THINK THAT WE WOULD BE GIVING SPEECHES ABOUT WHO THEY WERE AND WHAT THEIR LEGACY REPRESENTED? NO. BUT I DO THINK THAT WE ARE STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS AS A RESULT. THAT A FIRST COHORT CLASS OF KINDERGARTNERS, 11 OF THEM, HAS NOW TURNED INTO A SCHOOL THAT SERVES 01,100 STUDENTS. RIGHT HERE IN THE TOWN OF JUPITER. WHAT WE ARE BUILDING TODAY LIVES ON BECAUSE THEY WENT FIRST.

OUR MISSION STANDS THE SAME WAY THAT IT DID IN 1963 AND REMAINS TRUE TODAY. THAT WE TEACH THE MIND, WE REACH THE HEART, AND WE ARE INSPIRING SERVANT LEADERS TO IMPACT THE WORLD FOR JESUS CHRIST. THAT IS LEGACY IN OUR WORLD TODAY BECAUSE OF WHAT WAS TAKING PLACE, OR WHAT TOOK PLACE IN 1963.

THIS SCHOOL WAS FOUNDED BY GENERATIONAL LEGACY FAMILIES SUCH AS THE ROOD AND THE PINNOCK FAMILY. WE ARE A VERY PART AND THE FABRIC OF WHO JUPITER IS GOING BACK 60 PLUS YEARS. YOU CAN SEE THOSE RUDE LANDSCAPING TRUCKS RUNNING AROUND OUR STREETS. PINNOCK POINT IS A LOCAL NAME AND HOUSEHOLD FAVORITE FOR MANY OF US AS LOCALS. IN FACT, THE PINNOCK FAMILY DONATED THE LAND THAT JUPITER CHRISTIAN CURRENTLY SITS ON, AND THE PARCEL THAT WE HAVE HAD FOR 63 YEARS, BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO KEEP IT IN JUPITER. THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT I WOULD ASK. IF YOU DON'T KNOW A JUPITER, CHRISTIAN FAMILY OR ALUMNI, I'D BE HARD-PRESSED.

TO THINK THAT THAT'S TRUE, BECAUSE WE ARE PERVASIVE AND WE ARE THE ECONOMIC VIBRANCE OF THIS BEAUTIFUL TOWN. JUST AS THEIR NAME WAS, JUST AS THEIR TIME WAS HISTORICAL, WE ARE NOW AT AN INFLECTION POINT. THIS IS OUR TIME TO LEAVE A LEGACY HERE IN THIS TOWN. JUST AS ROY ROOD AND THE PINNOCK FAMILIES LAID THE FOUNDATION, WE HAVE VISION FOR WHAT THAT MEANS FOR THE NEXT 60 YEARS. WE HAVE A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO RESET THE LANDSCAPE OF EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP HERE IN THE TOWN OF JUPITER. BY COMBINING STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES, WORKFORCE HOUSING, ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION, PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, WE ARE DEMONSTRATING HOW A LEGACY INSTITUTION CAN LEAD WITH VISION AND STRATEGY. OUR GOAL IS NOT SIMPLY TO BUILD A NEW CAMPUS. NO. OUR GOAL IS TO SET A NEW STANDARD, TO SERVE, STRENGTHEN, AND INVEST AND THE COMMUNITY WE ALL CALL HOME. WE ARE TOO MUCH OF COMMUNITY-MINDED LEADERS TO MISS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE GREATEST IMPACT POSSIBLE. WE ARE NOT OUTSIDERS. WE'RE FOUNDED IN JUPITER. WE'VE GROWN IN JUPITER. AND WE WILL REMAIN IN JUPITER UPON YOUR APPROVAL.

OUR FAMILIES LIVE HERE. OUR STUDENTS GREW UP HERE. AND OUR HOPE IS THAT ONCE THEY GRADUATE, THEY COME BACK AND THEY BUILD FAMILIES. AND THEY'RE PART OF THE ECONOMIC VIBRANCE OF THIS GREAT TOWN AND THIS

[00:10:01]

THEY'RE GOING TO SCHOOL SOMEWHERE, AND THE PARENTS WITHIN OUR SCHOOL AND THE LIKE WANT IT TO BE JUPITER CHRISTIAN. THROUGH INVESTMENTS IN INFRASTRUCTURE, ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP, WORKFORCE, HOUSING, AND THOUGHTFUL PARTNERSHIPS WITH THIS TOWN, THIS LEGACY CAMPUS REPRESENTS A LONG-TERM INVESTMENT IN PEOPLE, ENVIRONMENT, AND THE FUTURE OF THE TOWN. FROM HOMETOWN HERO HOUSING THAT WILL PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND ATTAINABLE HOUSING FOR TEACHERS, FIREFIGHTERS, POLICE OFFICERS, JMC NURSES, TOWN OF JUPITER EMPLOYEES, TO THE PRESERVATION OF THE UPLANDS AND THE DONATION OF THE BLUE WATERWAY CANAL TO THE TOWN OF JUPITER, THIS PROJECT REFLECTS OUR COMMITMENT TO SERVE. IT INCLUDES INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS LIKE ISLAND WAY SOUTH, AS WELL AS FUTURE POTENTIAL PARTNERSHIPS WITH PALM BEACH STATE COLLEGE, PALM BEACH ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY, AND EMBRY-RIDDLE TO EXPAND CAREER AND TECHNICAL OFFERINGS. IT ALSO MEANS EXPANSION FOR JUPITER TEQUESTA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION AND ATHLETIC BALL FIELDS AND YOUTH PROGRAMMING.

THESE ARE JUST A MERE EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE HEART IS BEHIND THIS PROJECT. OUR HOPE IS THAT THE LEGACY WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE HERE IN JUPITER. NOT FOR A DECADE, BUT FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. I STAND HERE WITH AN ENTIRE CONTINGENT, OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, BECAUSE THIS IS MORE THAN LINES ON A PAPER. THIS IS BIGGER THAN BLUEPRINTS AND BUILDINGS.

COMMISSION, I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT THIS REPRESENTS A NEXT GENERATION OF LEARNERS AND LEADERS FOR KINGDOM GLORY RIGHT HERE IN THE TOWN OF JUPITER.

WITH THAT OUTSET, HEART AND VISION IN MIND, I CALL UP MR. PETE HOFFHINES, SENIOR LAND PLANNER FOR CUTLER & HERRING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, JAY. THAT WAS WONDERFUL.

GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR, COMMISSIONERS.

FOR THE RECORD, PETE HOFFHINES, CUTLER & HERRING LAND PLANNER. I'M HERE TONIGHT AS THE PROJECT MANAGER, BUT ALSO AS A FATHER OF TWO YOUNG BOYS WHO ATTEND JUPITER CHRISTIAN AND A PARENT.

SO I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE IN THE MORNING TO GET KIDS READY FOR SCHOOL, UP, FED, DRESSED, IN THE CAR, AND NOT ONLY. GET YOURSELF READY FOR WORK AND GET THERE ON TIME. SO TONIGHT WE'RE HERE FOR A FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT AND A CONCURRENT ZONING MAP AMENDMENT. AND IF YOU'VE READ THE STAFF REPORT, I'M SURE THERE'S TWO TOPICS THAT ARE ON YOUR MIND, PROJECT TRAFFIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS. AND I'M GOING TO DO MY BEST TO TOUCH ON BOTH OF THOSE TONIGHT. WE'VE GOT OUR ENTIRE PROJECT TEAM HERE THIS EVENING. SO I IMPLORE YOU, IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE, IF SOMETHING'S NOT CLEAR, PLEASE ASK US. WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER. WE'RE HAPPY TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION.

SUMMARY OF APPLICATIONS. WHERE ARE WE TODAY? WE'RE RIGHT HERE.

WE'RE AT THE FUTURE LAND USE AND ZONING. THIS IS WHAT YOU'LL BE HEARING TONIGHT. THIS IS WHAT YOU'LL BE VOTING ON. WE HAVE SUBMITTED CONCURRENT PLAN, UNIT DEVELOPMENT, SPECIAL EXCEPTION, AND SITE PLAN APPLICATIONS. WE HOPE TO HAVE THOSE BEFORE YOU IN THE NEXT MONTH, AND WE'RE DILIGENTLY WORKING WITH STAFF TO GET THOSE DONE.

FOR THOSE WHO MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH THE PROPERTY, THE SITE IS SHOWN THERE IN RED. IT'S APPROXIMATELY 57 ACRES, COMMONLY REFERRED TO IN THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY AS THE HAWKEYE PROPERTY, LOCATED SOUTHEAST QUADRANT OF INTERSTATE 95 AND INDIAN TOWN ROAD. I'VE ALSO HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW THERE THE ROADWAY SECTION OF THE ISLAND WAY SOUTH CORRIDOR. THIS ROADWAY IS A STRATEGIC PRIORITY FOR THE TOWN AND HAS BEEN DESIGNATED AS SUCH BY THE TOWN COUNCIL. THIS AMENDMENT TONIGHT. WILL DELIVER OVER TWO ACRES FOR THAT VITAL PIECE OF INFRASTRUCTURE. THIS IS A SNAPSHOT OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN. YOU CAN SEE I'VE HIGHLIGHTED PERTINENT INFORMATION THERE IN YELLOW AND RED, MOST NOTABLY TO DIRECT STAFF TO COLLABORATE WITH THE OWNERS TO SECURE THE REQUIRED RIGHT-OF-WAY. BUT ON THE TECHNICAL SIDE, ON YOUR LEFT YOU HAVE THE EXISTING LAND USE, AND ON YOUR RIGHT, YOU HAVE THE PROPOSED LAND USE.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT HERE THAT WE ARE CHANGING FROM INDUSTRIAL WITH THE BIOSCIENCE OVERLAY TO PUBLIC, INSTITUTIONAL AND RESIDENTIAL HIGH. I WANT TO NOTE THAT IN THE STAFF REPORT, THEY RECOMMENDED THAT THE RESIDENTIAL HIGH MAY BE BETTER SUITED ON THE NORTH HALF OF THE PROPERTY. WE SLIGHTLY DISAGREE. WE SPECIFICALLY LOCATED THE RESIDENTIAL HIGH, WHERE IT IS. YOU'LL FIND THIS PRACTICE AT THE STATE LEVEL, PARTICULARLY AS IT RELATES TO LIVE LOCAL, WHERE THEY WANT TO INCLUDE RESIDENTIAL USES. IN COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS. WHY? PEOPLE CAN WORK AND LIVE CLOSE TO WHERE THEY ARE. FINALLY, RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET,

[00:15:01]

THIS REQUEST IS NECESSARY FOR OUR PROJECT TO MOVE FORWARD. REMOVING THE OVERLAY ALLOWS THE PROPERTY TO BE USED FOR THE SCHOOL AND WORKFORCE HOUSING. WE BELIEVE THERE STILL REMAIN PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES IN THE MARKETPLACE FOR SITES FOR THESE USES TO GO FORWARD.

AS JAY MENTIONED IN HIS INTRODUCTION, WE HAVE A WHOLE HOST OF PUBLIC BENEFITS WITH THIS APPLICATION. AND YOUR RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TONIGHT ON THE LAND USE WILL ALLOW THESE TO COME TO FRUITION.

FIRST, THE MODERN SCHOOL, CAMPUS AND EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES THAT ALLOWS THE SCHOOL TO REMAIN AND GROW IN JUPITER, CONTINUING TO SERVE THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES. SECOND, WORKFORCE HOUSING. LET ME NOTE THIS IS 100% WORKFORCE HOUSING. THE TOWN'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ONLY REQUIRES US TO DO 12%. WE'RE DOING 100%. THAT'S UNHEARD OF.

100% WORKFORCE HOUSING. WHY CAN WE DO THIS? BECAUSE THE SCHOOL IS A NON-PROFIT. IT SEEKS TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY, THE NURSES, THE FIREFIGHTERS, THE POLICE OFFICERS. WE WANT TO KEEP OUR HOMETOWN HEROES HERE, HOME. WHAT ELSE DO WE HAVE ON THE SCREEN? ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS. WE'RE PRESERVING OVER SIX AND A HALF ACRES OF ON-SITE NATURAL HABITAT.

IN ADDITION, WE'RE COMMITTED TO DONATING TO THE TOWN THE 25-ACRE CONSERVATION CORRIDOR ON THE NORTH THAT ENCOMPASSES THE C-18 CANAL. FINALLY, ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE SIDE, THIS PROJECT NOT ONLY DEDICATES A 10,000 SQUARE FOOT TOWN OF JUPITER WELL SITE, KEEPING VITAL WATER INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE. WE ALSO ARE DONATING THE LAND FOR THE ISLAND WAY SOUTH.

IN ADDITION, WE'VE OFFERED TO ENTER INTO A DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT WITH THE TOWN TO MANAGE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THAT ROAD, WE BELIEVE, WHILE WE'RE UNDER CONSTRUCTION. WE CAN DELIVER THAT ROAD QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY, AND FOR LESS COST. THERE'S FOUR CRITERIA WE NEED TO ADDRESS FOR A LAND USE CHANGE. THIS MAP AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. WE BELIEVE THIS PROJECT CLEARLY MEETS THAT. RESIDENTIAL HIGH IS IN AN AREA URBANIZED, WITH UTILITIES AND COMPATIBLE SURROUNDING USES, IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO JOBS AND EMPLOYMENT. THE WORKFORCE HOUSING DIRECTLY SUPPORTS THE HOUSING ELEMENT.

WE'RE MAINTAINING NATIVE HABITAT AND WETLANDS, AND CONNECTIVITY TO EXISTING CORRIDORS TAKEN TOGETHER. THIS MEETS THE TOWN'S BROADER PLANNING GOALS. NUMBER TWO, THIS MAP AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE ESTABLISHED LAND USE PATTERNS OF THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.

THE STAFF REPORT SUGGESTED THAT WE DON'T. WE DISAGREE. AS DEPICTED ON THE PREVIOUS MAPS, THE PUBLIC, INSTITUTIONAL AND HIGH-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE NEARBY SURROUNDING LAND USES. THE HDR IS AN APPROPRIATE TRANSITIONAL LAND USE, PLACING THE WORKFORCE HOUSING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO JOBS.

COMPATIBLE WITH THE JUPITER PARK OF COMMERCE, WHILE THERE ARE TRAFFICS COMING IN, THERE ARE TRAFFICS GOING OUT.

NUMBER THREE, THIS MAP AMENDMENT SHALL NOT CREATE AN ISOLATED LAND USE DESIGNATION OR ZONING DISTRICT UNRELATED TO ADJACENT AND NEARBY DESIGNATIONS OR DISTRICTS.

AGAIN, THE STAFF REPORT SUGGESTED THAT WE'RE NOT MEETING THIS, AND ONCE AGAIN, WE DISAGREE. PUBLIC INSTITUTIONAL LAND USES CAN BE FOUND THROUGHOUT JUPITER. THE SCHOOL AND WORKFORCE HOUSING COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER, AND THE NEARBY PALM BEACH COUNTY MEDIUM AND HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AREAS SUPPORT THIS PROJECT AS A LOGICAL TRANSITIONAL EDGE.

ON YOUR SCREEN, YOU CAN SEE THE JUPITER MEDICAL CENTER, PUBLIC INSTITUTIONAL, NEXT TO HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, NEXT TO INDUSTRIAL.

ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN, YOU'LL SEE THE CURRENT JUPITER CHRISTIAN CAMPUS, PUBLIC INSTITUTIONAL, NEXT TO INDUSTRIAL. NUMBER FOUR, APPLICATION NECESSARY BECAUSE OF CHANGING CONDITIONS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS, ANNEXATION, PUBLIC SERVICE NEEDS. THE CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE TOWN ARE CREATING A...

STRONG DEMAND FOR PRIVATE EDUCATION. THIS IS SUPPORTED BY THE SCHOOL'S 700 PLUS WAITING LIST. THE STATE AND THE TOWN ARE FACING HOUSING AFFORDABILITY CRISIS. WE WILL DOUBLE THE TOWN'S WORKFORCE HOUSING WITH THIS APPLICATION. NOW THAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH THE LAND USE, I THINK WE SHOULD GRAB OUR KEYS AND HOP INTO THE CAR. WHAT'S NEXT? TRAFFIC. TRAFFIC IS ALWAYS AN IMPORTANT PART OF ANY PROJECT, AND ONE THAT REQUIRES DETAILS AND UNDERSTANDING. ANY LAND USE AMENDMENT IS REQUIRED TO COMPARE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF POTENTIAL TRAFFIC FOR THE CURRENT LAND USE

[00:20:01]

THE REALITY IS, WHAT CAN REASONABLY BE ACHIEVED IN THE NEXT 15 YEARS? AND THAT'S BRINGING THE MIDDLE AND THE HIGH SCHOOL ONLINE AS PART OF THE FIRST PHASE. ONCE COMPLETED, APPROXIMATELY 700 STUDENTS WILL MOVE FROM THE DELAWARE CAMPUS OVER TO THE LEGACY CAMPUS. AND EVERY YEAR AFTER THAT, FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, THE SCHOOL ANTICIPATES ADDING 125 STUDENTS FOR A TOTAL OF 01,200 STUDENTS. TO ATTEND THE LEGACY CAMPUS. WE'RE TAKING TRIPS FROM DELAWARE, WE'RE MOVING THEM TO LEGACY. YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN THE TRAFFIC ASSOCIATED WITH THAT PHASE, AND IT'S SIGNIFICANTLY LESS IN THE DAILY, IT'S SIGNIFICANTLY LESS IN THE P.M. AND IT'S MORE IN THE A.M. THE STAFF REPORT CONFIRMS THAT SYSTEM HAS CAPACITY FOR 1,301 STUDENTS.

WE'RE ONLY GOING TO HAVE 1,200 IN THE FIRST PHASE. WHAT ELSE IS OFTEN LEFT OUT OF THE TRAFFIC DISCUSSION IS THAT SCHOOL TRAFFIC IS PREDICTABLE.

THERE'S DESIGNATED START TIMES WITH STAGGERED STARTS. WHY IS PREDICTABILITY IMPORTANT? IT ALLOWS YOU TO PLAN. IT ALLOWS ORGANIZATIONS TO OPERATE AROUND THAT. WHAT ELSE? 100% OF OUR STACKING AND QUEUING IS ON SITE. WE HAVE OVER A MILE OF PROVIDED STACKING FOR VEHICLES. THERE WON'T BE ANY CARS IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AS THERE ARE IN SOME OTHER SCHOOLS AND AT OUR CURRENT CAMPUS OR OTHER BUSINESSES ALONG INDIAN TOWN ROAD. STAFF ORGANIZES AND CONTROLS THE PICK UP AND DROP OFF PROCEDURES. AND WE HAVE A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF FACULTY THAT ARRIVED BEFORE 730 THAT HAVE CHILDREN THAT ATTEND THE SCHOOL. THAT'S AN ADDITIONAL 182 CHILDREN THAT ARE ARRIVING BEFORE THE A.M.

PEAK HOUR. FINALLY, I WANT TO TOUCH ON A VITAL KEY POINT. THIS IS ABOUT REDISTRIBUTION.

SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OUR STUDENT POPULATION, OUR LOCAL FAMILIES, AS JAY TALKED ABOUT. THEY LIVE IN JUPITER TO QUESTON. THESE ARE ALREADY TRIPS ON THE ROAD. AND IF THEY'RE NOT GOING INTO JUPITER CHRISTIAN AND THEY'RE GOING TO ANOTHER SCHOOL, THESE CARS ARE THERE. ALL WE'RE DOING IS CAPTURING THEM. I LOVE THIS GRAPHIC RIGHT HERE.

AGAIN, IT SUPPORTS THAT WE ARE 68% OF OUR POPULATIONS FROM THE LOCAL AREA. THEIR TRIPS ARE ALREADY ON THE ROAD. THIS HEAT MAP SHOWS THAT DISTRIBUTION. AND IN SUMMARY, PREDICTABLE TRAFFIC IS MANAGEABLE TRAFFIC. OUR PHASE TWO ELEMENTARY IS DECADES AWAY. WE'RE COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH THE TOWN AND OUR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL PHASE ONE WORKS. ALL RIGHT, TIME TO GET OFF THE ROADS AND INTO THE TREES. A PORTION OF OUR SITE IS LOCATED ON THE TOWN'S 1990 MAP THAT IDENTIFIES SIGNIFICANT LANDS IN THE TOWN. YOU CAN SEE THAT WITH THE RED STAR. AND HERE'S WHAT'S REQUIRED BY CODE. THE TOP TABLE HERE IDENTIFIES JUST OVER 10 ACRES OF NATIVE HABITAT ON THE SITE, AND WE UNDERSTAND THE TOWN'S CONSULTANT IDENTIFIED SLIGHTLY HIGHER NUMBER. HOWEVER, THAT NUMBER INCLUDES LANDS ON THE ISLAND WAY SOUTH, RIGHT-OF-WAY THAT WE'RE DEDICATING. WE WILL NO LONGER OWN THAT LAND, AND IT WILL NO LONGER BE PART OF OUR SITE. YOU CAN SEE AT THE TABLE AT THE BOTTOM THE HABITAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO PRESERVE, PROVIDING OVER SIX ACRES OF NATIVE HABITAT ON SITE, WHICH EXCEEDS OUR CODE REQUIREMENT OF 2.55 ACRES, OR 25% OF 10. THIS IS A QUICK GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION OF HOW WE'RE PROPOSING TO INCORPORATE THE NATIVE HABITAT INTO OUR DESIGN. NATURAL PERIMETER BUFFERS, LINKED LAKES AND WETLANDS THROUGH VEGETATIVE CORRIDORS, RAISED ROAD SECTIONS WITH LARGE BOX CULVERTS THAT LARGE AND SMALL WILDLIFE CAN USE, ALL LINKING TO THE 25-ACRE CONSERVATION LAND TO THE NORTH. THIS IS THOUGHTFUL, PRAGMATIC DESIGN.

SO HOW DID WE GET HERE, YOU MIGHT BE ASKING. THIS IS LAND USE. WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES? THIS POLICY IS WHAT'S LINKING US TO THE LAND USE AMENDMENT.

STAFF HAS IDENTIFIED OUR PROJECT IS NOT MEETING THE REQUIREMENT OF THIS POLICY.

POLICY, AS WE ARE REQUIRED TO DESIGNATE HABITAT AREAS WITH CONSERVATION LAND USE.

HOWEVER, READING THIS POLICY, WE STRONGLY DISAGREE. IT IS NOT APPROPRIATE TO DESIGNATE THESE HABITAT AREAS AT THIS STAGE WITH THE CONSERVATION LAND USE WHEN WE DON'T HAVE THE APPROVED SITE PLAN. FURTHER, THIS POLICY IS APPLICABLE TO LARGER, 10-ACRE COMMUNITY SERVICE ORIENTED CONSERVATION AND PRESERVATION AREAS, NOT THE SMALLER, SUB 10-ACRE LOCATIONS WE'RE PROPOSING. SMALLER HABITATS ARE MORE APPROPRIATELY PROTECTED WITH CONSERVATION AND PRESERVATION EASEMENTS. NOT A LAND USE. YOU CAN SEE ON THE TOWN'S FUTURE LAND USE MAP, THE LIGHT GREEN ARE THE LARGE CONSERVATION AND PRESERVATION TRACKS. ONLY THE LARGER TRACKS ARE DESIGNATED. THIS MAKES PRACTICAL PLANNING SENSE.

OTHERWISE, THE TOWN'S LAND USE

[00:25:02]

WILLOW THRIVES IN MANY PARTS OF FLORIDA'S ECOSYSTEM. IT'S BEST AS PART OF A WELL-BALANCED SYSTEM, BUT AS A DOMINANT SPECIES, IT CAN DRY UP AN ENTIRE WETLAND.

WE'RE PROPOSING TO SAVE THE CYPRESS WETLAND. YOU CAN SEE THE PICTURES ON THE SCREEN BEFORE YOU. THE TOWN'S ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW CONFIRMED THAT OUR DESIGN APPROACH WITH THE CYPRESS WETLAND, CO-LOCATED WITH THE NATIVE PINES, IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

AND HERE I HAVE LAID OUT ALL THE POLICIES THAT WERE IN THE STAFF REPORT THAT WE FEEL THAT WE ARE CONSISTENT WITH. JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES ON THE OVERAGE THERE. ARE WE OVER TIME OR DO WE HAVE ADDITIONAL TIME? YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES. WHAT, WE HAVE FIVE MORE MINUTES? WE TALKED ABOUT THE LAND USE. ALL RIGHT.

SO HERE ARE THE PICTURES. WE WANTED TO SHOW THE COMMISSION PICTURES FROM THE FIELD THAT EXEMPLIFY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CYPRESS WETLAND AND THE WILLOW WETLAND WITH THE MALALUCA. WE BELIEVE THE CYPRESS WETLAND HOLDS MORE NATURAL VALUE THAN THE WILLOW AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW ISSUED BY THE TOWN'S CONSULTANT CONFIRMS THE DOMINANCE OF THE WILLOW. HOWEVER, RECOGNIZING THAT WILLOW HAS A ROLE TO PLAY IN A WELL-BALANCED NATIVE HABITAT, WE'D BE OPEN TO WORKING WITH STAFF AND THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL TEAM TO ASSESS THE POTENTIAL TO INCORPORATE SOME WILLOW PLANTINGS IN AND AROUND OUR LAKES AND DRY DETENTION AREAS AS PART OF A THOUGHTFUL ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN APPROACH.

THE TOWN'S ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW CONFIRMED THAT OUR DESIGN APPROACH WITH THE CYPRESS WETLAND, CO-LOCATED WITH THE NATIVE PINES, IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

YOU CAN SEE THERE AT NUMBER.

THEY'RE IDENTIFIED WITH NUMBER TWO. FINALLY, THE STAFF REPORT OUTLINED A SERIES OF CONSERVATION ELEMENT POLICIES THAT STAFF IS INDICATING WE'RE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH. AND THE MEASURING POINT FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THESE POLICIES IS CENTERED ON THE TWO ITEMS WE JUST DISCUSSED, THE 10-ACRE THRESHOLD AND THE DESIGNATION OF WILLOW AS AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE LAND. I'M HAPPY TO GO THROUGH ALL THESE POLICIES, BUT I THINK YOU CAN SEE THEM ON THE SCREEN. SCREEN. WE'RE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS SHOULD ANY MEMBER OF THE COMMISSION HAVE THEM.

FINALLY, THE STAFF REPORT LAYS OUT A HANDFUL OF COMPREHENSIVE POLICIES THAT WE'RE NOT CONSISTENT WITH. WE PUT A LIST TOGETHER OF ALL THE ONES THAT WE ARE.

IN SUMMARY, COMMISSIONERS, THIS PROJECT IS ABOUT KEEPING A LONG-STANDING JUPITER INSTITUTION ROOTED IN THE COMMUNITY WHERE IT BELONGS.

THE LEGACY CAMPUS ALLOWS JUPITER CHRISTIAN TO CONTINUE SERVING FAMILIES HERE, WHILE ALSO DELIVERING WORKFORCE, HOUSING, ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION, AND IMPORTANT INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE TOWN. WE BELIEVE THIS APPLICATION MEETS THE TOWN'S CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL AND PROVIDES SUBSTANTIAL, MEANINGFUL PUBLIC BENEFIT. WE HAVE OUR TEAM HERE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND NOW, STAFF, PLEASE GIVE YOUR PRESENTATION.

GOOD EVENING, COMMISSION. MY NAME IS MARTIN SCHNEIDER. I'M WITH THE TOWN'S PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT. I'M JUST GOING TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE POINTS FROM THE STAFF REPORT. AS STATED, THIS IS A PROPOSAL TO CHANGE THE LAND USE AND ZONING OF A PROPERTY. FROM 56 ACRES OF INDUSTRIAL WITH THE BIOSCIENCE RESEARCH PROTECTION OVERLAY TO 38.6 ACRES OF PUBLIC INSTITUTIONAL AND 18 ACRES OF HIGH-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

AND TO REMOVE THE BIOSCIENCE RESOURCE PROTECTION OVERLAY. THE STAFF REPORT OUTLINES SOME OF THE COMPETING STRATEGIC PRIORITIES ON PAGES 15 AND 16 OF 171.

TOWN COUNCIL WILL NEED TO BALANCE THE COMPETING STRATEGIC PRIORITIES, ONE OF WHICH IS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

ON ONE SIDE, YOU'VE GOT THE ADDITION OF EDUCATIONAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE JOBS,

[00:30:02]

WHICH WOULD ASSIST THE TOWN'S GOAL OF IMPROVING SOUTH ISLAND WAY. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE OTHER PROPERTY OWNERS WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH ANY PROJECTS ON THEIR PROPERTY. THEREFORE, THERE'D BE NO GUARANTEE OF THE ROAD BEING BUILT OR BEING BUILT CONCURRENT WITH THE IMPACT OF DEVELOPMENT.

IN OTHER WORDS, THIS PROPERTY ONLY MADE WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS ON THEIR PROPERTY, BUT WITHOUT THE OTHER IMPROVEMENTS, YOU'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE THE BOTTLENECK THAT YOU WOULD, EVEN IF THOSE IMPROVEMENTS HADN'T BEEN MADE. IN ADDITION, THE APPLICANT'S TRAFFIC ANALYSIS FOR THE PROPERTY USING SCHOOL WITH THE MAXIMUM OF 2 000 STUDENTS PLUS 92 RESIDENTIAL UNITS, FAR EXCEEDS THE PHASE ONE.

IMPROVEMENTS OF SOUTH ISLAND WAY, WHICH WOULD THEREBY CREATE FURTHER POTENTIAL IMPACTS ON AN ALREADY CONGESTED AREA OF THE TOWN. THESE ARE POLICIES, DECISIONS THE TOWN COUNCIL WILL NEED TO CONSIDER. OKAY, SO. STAFF OUTLINED SEVERAL ISSUES THAT ARE NOT CONSISTENT WITHIN THE TOWN'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN THE STAFF REPORT ON PAGES 17 THROUGH 23 OF 171. THE FIRST ITEM IS TRANSPORTATION LEVEL, SERVICE AND CAPACITY, AND I WON'T GET INTO THAT TOO MUCH. GARRETT WILL BE PROVIDING INFORMATION ON THAT AFTER I'M DONE.

ANOTHER ISSUE IS WITH CONSERVATION POLICIES.

THERE ARE INCONSISTENCIES. WITH THE TOWN'S CONSERVATION POLICIES, INCLUDING THE 25% NATIVE VEGETATION SET-ASIDE AND SOME OTHER ISSUES THAT EDDIE, OUR NATURAL RESOURCE COORDINATOR, WILL SPEAK ON LATER, AND WITH POLICY 1.3.16, WHICH REQUIRES CONSERVATION AND PRESERVATION AREAS GREATER THAN 10 ACRES BE DESIGNATED WITH CONSERVATION.

THE SITE IS ADJACENT TO, AND THIS IS PART OF THE SAME PROPERTY OWNER'S PROPERTY, THIS CONSERVATION. EASEMENT HERE OR DESIGNATION? SO WHAT? THIS POLICY IS SAYING THAT THE CONSERVATION THAT THEY PUT ON THEIR SITE, THE PRESERVER PRESERVED AREAS, SHOULD HAVE A CONSERVATION.

LAND USE. ALSO, ANOTHER PART OF THAT IS THE ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION SET ASIDE, WHICH I SAID EDDIE WILL DISCUSS FURTHER. THE NEXT ISSUE IS THE REMOVAL OF THE BIOSCIENCE RESEARCH PROTECTION OVERLAY.

WHILE THE BIOSCIENCE LAND PROTECTION ADVISORY BOARD VOTED TO SUNSET THE BOARD AND TERMINATE THE BIOSCIENCE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT IN 2024, THE TOWN ELECTED NOT TO REMOVE THE POLICIES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RELATED TO BIOSCIENCE. THEREFORE, REMOVAL OF THE OVERLAY IS A POLICY DECISION FOR THE TOWN COUNCIL AND ONE THAT WILL REQUIRE AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF FOUR MEMBERS TO REMOVE. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS ONE OF THE LAST LARGE UNDEVELOPED PROPERTIES. WITH AN INDUSTRIAL LAND USE DESIGNATION WITHIN THE BIOSCIENCE OVERLAY THAT REMAINS IN TOWN. ADVANTAGES OF MAINTAINING THE EXISTING LAND USE DESIGNATION IN BIOSCIENCE OVERLAY IS THAT INDUSTRIAL USE WOULD LIKELY PRODUCE MORE HIGH-PAYING TECHNICAL JOBS THAN PUBLIC INSTITUTION. AND THE TRAFFIC IMPACTS WOULD LIKELY BE LOWER. THE MAXIMUM INTENSITY FOR INDUSTRIAL LAND USE IN THE FUTURE LAND USE AMENDMENT TRAFFIC ANALYSIS IS BASED ON THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE INTENSITY ALLOWED. LAND USE CATEGORY. IN THIS CASE, IT WOULD ALLOW 50% OF A LOT TO BE COVERED WITH AN INDUSTRIAL BUILDING.

THIS IS NOT A REALISTIC AMOUNT BECAUSE OF THINGS LIKE THE PARKING, SETBACKS, BUFFERS, OPEN SPACE. SO IN THE TOWN, THE COVERAGE TENDS TO BE MORE LIKE 25% WHICH WOULD HAVE THAT AMOUNT THAT THEY'RE COMPARING THEIR TRAFFIC TO. ALSO, THE PEAKING IMPACT OF INDUSTRIAL IS LESS PRONOUNCED THAN THE PEAKING TENDENCY OF SCHOOLS, AND GARRETT WILL GET INTO TRAFFIC FURTHER LATER ON.

THE OTHER ISSUE WAS THE LAND USE COMPATIBILITY. THE PROPOSED LAND USE AMENDMENT PLACES 18 ACRES OF RESIDENTIAL LAND USE BETWEEN EXISTING INDUSTRIAL USES. TO THE SOUTH, WHICH IS IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT, AND TO THE EAST, WHICH WOULD BE ACROSS THE FUTURE SOUTH ISLAND WAY. AND IT WOULD BE SOUTH OF THE PROPOSED PUBLIC

[00:35:02]

STAFF. TOWN STAFF HAD SUGGESTED THE APPLICANT CONSIDER FLIPPING THE LAND USES TO REMOVE, TO MOVE THE PUBLIC INSTITUTIONAL CLOSER TO THE EXISTING INDUSTRIAL.

YOU KNOW, MOVE THE PUBLIC INSTITUTIONAL DOWN IN THIS AREA AND PUT THE RESIDENTIAL NEAR THE TOP, WHERE IT'S CLOSER TO THE EXISTING RESIDENTIAL.

AND IT'S NEAR CONSERVATION, AND IT'S FURTHER REMOVED FROM THE INDUSTRIAL. THE APPLICANT DIDN'T CHOOSE TO DO THIS. PART BECAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY SUBMITTED A SITE PLAN. AND TO DO TO MAKE THOSE KIND OF CHANGES, WOULD, YOU KNOW, BE COSTLY AND NOT EFFICIENT FOR THEM. THEN I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COUPLE CLARIFICATIONS OF ITEMS IN THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION. IT'S IMPORTANT TO STATE THAT THE PROPERTY DOES NOT HAVE ANY APPROVALS ESTABLISHING ENTITLEMENTS.

WHEN THE APPLICANT REFERS TO THE MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE, WHICH IS 50% IN THE INDUSTRIAL LAND USE CATEGORY, THAT'S THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT THAT USE COULD ALLOW. AND AS I SAID, A MORE REALISTIC AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC FROM THAT USE WOULD BE CLOSER TO 25% LOT COVERAGE.

THEREFORE, THE TRAFFIC FROM A REALISTIC INDUSTRIAL USE WOULD BE MORE IN LINE WITH TABLE 2 ON PAGE 24 OF 171 OF YOUR STAFF REPORT, WHICH IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN THE PROPOSED INTENSITY OF 2,000 STUDENT SCHOOL AND 92 RESIDENTIAL UNITS. THE APPLICANT HAS NOT STATED A WILLINGNESS TO HAVE LESS MAXIMUM NUMBER OF STUDENTS. STUDENTS OR A SMALLER AMOUNT OF DWELLING UNITS, OR SOME KIND OF MIX. AND GARRETT WILL TALK ABOUT WHAT THE REQUIREMENTS TO MEET TO NOT EXCEED THE DIFFERENT PHASES THAT ARE PLANNED FOR THE ROAD. THE APPLICANT MENTIONS A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR CONSTRUCTING SOUTH ISLAND WAY, BUT THERE ARE NOT DETAILS AT THIS TIME ON WHAT THE OWNER IS COMMITTING TO. THIS WOULD NEED TO BE FINALIZED AND APPROVED CONCURRENT WITH THE OVERALL APPLICATION.

PRIOR TO THE PUD AND SITE PLAN APPROVAL. IF A DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT IS PROFFERED, THE QUESTION REGARDING TIMING OF CONSTRUCTION AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF OTHER PROPERTY OWNERS, WHO MUST ALSO DEDICATE PROPERTY AND CONSTRUCT ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS ON THEIR PROPERTIES, WILL NEED TO BE WORKED OUT. THE APPLICANT ALSO STATES IN THE PRESENTATION A DONATION OF 25 ACRES ALONG THE C18 CANAL. THIS HAS GOT A CONSERVATION LAND USE NOW, BUT WOULD NEED TO HAVE A... BE REZONED TO CONSERVATION ALSO, BUT IF THIS, THIS WAS NOT A OFFICIAL PART OF THEIR APPLICATION AND IT'S NOT MENTIONED IN THEIR STATEMENT OF USE. AND BEFORE ANY DEDICATION OF THAT PROPERTY WOULD BE ACCEPTED, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE THOROUGHLY VETTED BY THE TOWN. REGARDING WORKFORCE HOUSING, THE STATEMENT OF USE STATES THE PROPOSAL WILL PROVIDE 100% WORKFORCE HOUSING. AND DISCUSSES THE POSSIBLE USE OF DENSITY BONUSES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE WORKFORCE HOUSING BONUS SYSTEM IN THE HOUSING ELEMENT. THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS IS ONLY BASED ON THE BASE DENSITY, WHICH IS ALLOWED UP TO 92 UNITS. THE SITE PLAN, THE PUD AND SITE PLAN CONSIDERS ABOUT 160 UNITS. THERE'S ALSO NO ASSURANCE THAT THE WORKFORCE HOUSING WOULD BE DEVELOPED.

THE SCHOOL COULD BE BUILT. AND THE WORKFORCE HOUSING COULD REMAIN UNBUILT. THERE'S NO TRIGGER THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE WORKFORCE HOUSING. IF THAT'S, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE TOWN IS LOOKING FOR OUT OF THIS. ANOTHER ITEM IS THAT THERE'S BEEN NO COMMITMENT TO CLOSING THE EXISTING CAMPUS ON DELAWARE OR REDUCING THAT STUDENT COUNT. SO THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO CONSIDER ALSO. WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO GARRETT, AND HE'LL TALK SOME MORE ABOUT TRANSPORTATION. THANK YOU. IF I COULD, WE'D LIKE

[00:40:01]

SO, GRANTED. THANK YOU. SO WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU ON THE SLIDE IS WHAT'S KNOWN AS THE CURRENT PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT FOR SOUTH ISLAND WAY. THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE IN THE PLANS.

THAT YELLOW ALIGNMENT. GOING BACK ABOUT 20 OR SO YEARS TO EARLY 2000S, WE PRODUCED WHAT WAS CALLED THE JUPITER AREA STUDY. AND THE PURPOSE OF THAT WAS TO TRY TO ESTABLISH WHAT BUILD OUT OF THIS TOWN WOULD LOOK LIKE, TO ESTABLISH WHAT WE WANTED, OUR LEVEL OF SERVICE TO BE IN THE TOWN, RIGHT? HOW QUICKLY WE WANTED PEOPLE AND HOW EFFICIENTLY WE WANTED PEOPLE TO MOVE, AND THEN TO CALIBRATE OUR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS ACCORDINGLY. IT'S A LONG-TERM PLANNING EFFORT. THAT EFFORT'S BEEN DEVELOPED OVER THE YEARS, RECALIBRATED OVER THE YEARS AS THINGS HAVE DEVELOPED, AND MOST RECENTLY, IN 2022, IT WAS REDEVELOPED AND REIMAGINED IN THE CONTEXT OF THE REMAINING PARCELS IN THIS AREA. AND SO IN 2022, WE LOOKED AT THE PLANNED INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, LIKE SOUTH ISLAND WAY, WHAT THE EXISTING ROADWAY CONDITIONS WERE, WHAT PROJECTS WERE IN THE PIPELINE FOR FDOT, AND WE RECALIBRATED THE TRIPS ON THIS PROPERTY AND THE BEACON PARK PROPERTY TO ENSURE THAT WE COULD CONTINUE TO MEET THOSE LEVEL OF SERVICES IN THE LONG TERM.

FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, THAT DEVELOPED AT A MAXIMUM POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AT 551,000 SQUARE FEET. THAT'S AN IMPORTANT NUMBER. NOW, IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WHAT YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU AND WHAT THE TOWN HAS PLANNED FOR ISN'T POSSIBLE AT THIS POINT. WE DO NOT OWN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY TO CONSTRUCT THIS ROADWAY.

THAT RIGHT-OF-WAY IS IN PRIVATE OWNERSHIP. WE HAVE MANY OF THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS AT THE TABLE. JUPITER CHRISTIAN IS ONE OF THEM WITH THIS APPLICATION. BUT THEY'RE NOT THE ONLY PROPERTY OWNER. WE NEED MORE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. MOST CRITICALLY, WE NEED THE GAS STATION, WHICH IS AT THE CORNER OF INDIAN TOWN ROAD AND ISLAND WAY, WHICH IS NOT IN FOR SITE PLAN APPLICATION. WE NEED LAND FROM THAT PROPERTY OWNER TO BE ABLE TO DEVELOP JUST THIS INITIAL PHASE OF ISLAND WAY, SOUTH ISLAND WAY. NOW, ASSUMING EVERYBODY DONATES, EVERYBODY'S IN AGREEMENT, WE GET ALL OF THE PROPERTY THAT WE OWN OR THAT WE NEED TO CONSTRUCT THIS. THE FIRST PHASE OF ISLAND WAY COULD ACCOMMODATE SOMEWHERE IN THE RANGE OF 7 TO 895 STUDENTS FOR THE SCHOOL, RIGHT? AND THAT ASSUMES, AGAIN, A LOT OF THOSE THINGS HAVE TO FALL INTO PLACE BEFORE WE CAN REACH THAT POINT, AND THERE'S A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY. THERE'S SOME POTENTIAL FOR IMPACTS WITH 700 STUDENTS ON JUPITER PARK DRIVE THAT NEED TO BE FURTHER STUDIED, SO IT'S SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN THAT 700 AND THAT 895 RANGE FOR THIS. MOVING ON.

TO WHAT WE CALL SOUTH ISLAND WAY, PHASE 2. THIS WAS CALIBRATED BASED OFF OF THE MOST RECENT 2022 UPDATES FOR 551,000 SQUARE FEET OF R&D. AGAIN, WE DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT-OF-WAY POSSIBLE FOR THIS. THE AREAS THAT ARE SHOWN IN RED HERE ARE ADDITIONAL AREAS OF RIGHT-OF-WAY THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO MAKE THAT POSSIBILITY HAPPEN. SO THAT 200, 2022 UPDATE PHASE TWO, USING AN EQUIVALENCY FOR THE SCHOOL, COULD OPEN UP CAPACITY FOR AROUND 1,300 STUDENTS AT THE VERY HIGH END.

BUT REALISTICALLY, 1,200 IS THE NUMBER THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT BECAUSE GOING ABOVE THAT.

REALLY RISKS BRINGING INDIAN TOWN ROAD TO THE BRINK OF FAILURE AGAIN, PUSHING IT UP TO THAT. 1300 STUDENTS. SO, IN ORDER TO NOT IMPACT OR POTENTIALLY IMPACT THAT INTERSECTION, A LOWER LEVEL THAN 1300 SHOULD CERTAINLY BE CONSIDERED. AND THEN, ONCE YOU PASS THE 1200 THRESHOLD, AGAIN, THERE'S FURTHER IMPACTS TO JUPITER PARK DRIVE THAT NEED TO BE STUDIED. NOW, THIS NEXT SLIDE HIGHLIGHTS WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE APPLICANTS REQUEST.

THIS IS 2000 STUDENTS. THIS IS 92 UNITS. THERE'S A POTENTIAL FOR MORE THAN THAT TO COME LATER AS PART OF THE SITE PLAN APPLICATION.

BUT EVERYTHING YOU SEE HERE HIGHLIGHTED IN RED IS A ROADWAY LINK OR AN INTERSECTION. THAT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY REDESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE THAT LEVEL OF STUDENT COUNT. SO, IN SHORT, THIS IS GOING TO REQUIRE THE WIDENING OF INDIAN TOWN ROAD WITH ADDITIONAL TURN LANES.

THIS IS SOUTH ISLAND WAY BEING WIDENED. THIS IS JUPITER PARK DRIVE BEING WIDENED. THIS IS ROUNDABOUTS REQUIRING COMPLETE REVISIONS. TO ACCOMMODATE THE ADDITIONAL LANES AND THE ADDITIONAL RIGHT-OF-WAY NECESSARY. THIS SCENARIO REALLY HAS AN UNREALISTIC AMOUNT OF RIGHT-OF-WAY NECESSARY FOR IT, EXTRA DESIGN WORK, DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS, AND A COST THAT'S NOT EASILY ATTAINABLE. THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST HERE REALLY UNDERSCORES THE IMPORTANCE OF A TRIP CAP AS PART OF YOUR CONSIDERATIONS TONIGHT.

LIMITING DEVELOPMENT TO WHAT CAN REALISTICALLY BE ACCOMPLISHED FOR SOUTH ISLAND WAY IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 1,200 AND 1,300 STUDENTS, RIGHT? 01,200 ON THE CONSERVATIVE END TO NOT PUSH THE INTERSECTIONS TO THEIR BRINK, 1,300

[00:45:02]

P.M. PEAK HOUR TRIPS VERY MUCH EXIST WITH SCHOOLS. JUST THE PEAK OF A SCHOOL IS SLIGHTLY BEFORE WHAT'S CONSIDERED TRADITIONALLY A PM PEAK, RIGHT? SO IT'S HIDING IN THERE. IT'S NOT SHOWN IN YOUR TABLE. BUT THERE ARE VERY MUCH TRIPS ASSOCIATED AND IMPACTS ON THAT ROADWAY THAT FALL OUTSIDE OF THOSE RANGES THAT WILL BE FELT ON THAT ROADWAY SECTION. SO, IN SUMMARY OF THE TRAFFIC PORTION, THE CHANGE IN LAND USE OPENS UP THE TOWN TO SIGNIFICANT RISK FOR ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC. IF IT'S NOT CAPPED AND CAREFULLY MANAGED AS PART OF THIS PROCESS. SO, SHOULD THE COMMISSION SUPPORT CHANGING THE LAND USE TONIGHT, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER LOOKING AT A TRIP CAP AS PART OF YOUR RECOMMENDATION FOR ITEMS A AND B. AND WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO EDDIE, WHO WILL COVER ENVIRONMENTAL. GOOD EVENING, COMMISSION.

FOR THE RECORD, I'M EDDIE AKPOJI, SENIOR NATURAL RESOURCES COORDINATOR WITH THE TOWN OF JUPITER.

FOR A BRIEF BACKGROUND FOR MYSELF, I HOLD A DOUBLE MAJOR IN PLANT SCIENCE AND PLANT PATHOLOGY FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA, AND I'M AN ISA CERTIFIED ARBORIST. WE ALSO HAVE WITH US BRIAN VOLKER OF CHENMORE, WHO IS THE TOWN'S ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT. A LAND USE CHANGE APPLICATION IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE AN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT TO ASSESS THE RESOURCES ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT REPORT IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS.

THERE ARE STILL DISCREPANCIES THAT TOWN STAFF AND OUR CONSULTANTS HAVE IDENTIFIED AS PROVIDED IN ATTACHMENT G AND J OF THE STAFF REPORT. THE DESIGN OF THE PROPERTY OCCURRED PRIOR TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT. MEETING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES, AND, AS A RESULT, ADJUSTMENTS WILL BE NEEDED.

THE APPLICANT HAS CONCENTRATED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DETAIL.

IN THEIR PRESENTATION ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE CLARIFIED, SUCH AS THE NUMBER OF ACRES PRESERVED, VIABLE HABITAT, AND RARE OR UNIQUE HABITAT, SUCH AS THE WILLOW BEFORE YOU, WHICH WE'LL GET TO IN A SECOND.

SINCE THE INITIAL SUBMITTAL, THERE HAVE BEEN DISAGREEMENTS WITH THE BASELINE DATA. THAT STARTED WITH THE APPLICANT STATING THAT THERE WAS NO VIABLE HABITAT TO PRESERVE, EXCEPT FOR THE CYPRESS WETLAND AREA, WHICH WILL NEED TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WITH THEIR SITE PLAN.

EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND MULTIPLE FIELD VISITS WITH THE APPLICANT, A NEW ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT BY A NEW CONSULTANT, WAS SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT. IN DECEMBER OF 2025, SUBSEQUENTLY REVISED IN FEBRUARY, AND THEN UPDATED AGAIN ON MARCH 3RD, 2026. THE LATEST ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT REPORT GETS THE APPLICANT CLOSER TO ADDRESSING DEFICIENCIES WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES. STAFF HAS NOT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS ALL THE SPECIFIC DISCREPANCIES. THE RECENT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT PROVIDES THE BASELINE INFORMATION THE TOWN NEEDED TO FOCUS ON WHAT IS VIABLE, IMPORTANT, AND SUBJECT TO PRESERVATION REQUIREMENTS.

WITH THE BASELINE DATA, THE EXPECTATION AS WE PROGRESS TO THE NEXT STEP WILL BE TO ENSURE THAT THE CONCURRENT SITE PLAN APPLICATION IS UPDATED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS AND REFLECT THE NEW INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE REVISED REPORT. THE APPLICANT DOES NOT MEET CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, CONSERVATION ELEMENT AND FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT, RELATED TO THE FOLLOWING. A MINIMUM OF 25% PRESERVATION OF EACH NATIVE PLANT COMMUNITY WITHIN THE SUBJECT PROPERTY PER POLICY 1.5.5. THIS IDENTIFIES THE BASELINE FOR NEXT STEPS WITH EXPECTATIONS. SUFFICIENT ENVIRONMENTAL LINKAGES ADJACENT TO CONSERVATION AREAS SUCH AS THE C-18 CANAL, PER POLICY 1.9.1. PRESERVATION OF ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE LANDS PER POLICY 1.5.18. ADVERSE IMPACTS TO NATURAL RESOURCES AND WILDLIFE.PROTECTION AND ENHANCEMENT PER POLICY 1.1.3.

AND REFERENCED ON THE DAIS THROUGH RESIDENT EMAIL CONCERNS ABOUT GOPHER TORTOISE BURROW DISTURBANCES AND FLORIDA PANTHER SIGHTINGS WITHIN THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

THE WILLOW WETLAND, WHICH IS IMPORTANT AND UNIQUE, IS SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIED IN CHAPTER 26 OF THE TOWN CODE AS ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE.

ADDITIONAL DEFICIENCIES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REQUIREMENTS ARE REFERENCED AND

[00:50:01]

LET'S START LOOKING AT THIS MAP THAT WE HAVE UP HERE. THE LATEST MAP OF ENVIRONMENTAL SITE CLASSIFICATIONS FROM THE REVISED APPLICANT ASSESSMENT REPORT IS SHOWN. CONTINUE.

WILLOW AND LIVE OAK ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN BRIGHT GREEN AND CONSIDERED ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE LANDS. THESE AREAS ARE ADJACENT TO THE EXISTING 25 ACRES OF CONSERVATION LAND USE OF THE C-18 CANAL. VIABLE HABITATS REQUIRED FOR PRESERVATION, SUCH AS PINE, FLATWOODS AND WILLOW, ARE SHOWN IN DARKER GREEN ON THE MAP. BEFORE YOU. THE PRIORITY IS FOR RARE NATIVE LANDS THAT ARE OF HIGHER QUALITY TO BE PRESERVED. THESE VIABLE LANDS SHOULD BE THE BASIS FOR DESIGNING THE SITE PLAN.

PER CHAPTER 26 OF THE TOWN CODE, AS SHOWN ON THIS SLIDE, MEANS CAPABLE OF SUSTAINING ITS OWN LIFE PROCESSES, UNAIDED BY MAN, FOR A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME. THE APPLICANT HAS STATED THAT THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF EXOTIC PLANT SPECIES ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT'S MAJORITY OF THE AREA THAT THEY PROPOSE TO PRESERVE HAS OVER 50% EXOTICS AND IS NOT AN AREA SUBJECT TO PRESERVATION. LET'S LOOK AT THIS TABLE. THIS TABLE IS THE MINIMUM NATIVE PRESERVATION REQUIREMENTS PER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICY 1.5.5, WHICH REQUIRES 25% OF EACH NATIVE PLANT COMMUNITY EXISTING WITHIN THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

THIS WOULD BE WHAT IS REQUIRED.

WE HAVE INCLUDED THE HALF ACRE THAT IT WAS REDUCED BY THE APPLICANT. FOR THE SOUTH ISLAND WAY, RIGHT-OF-WAY DEDICATION DUE TO THE FACT THAT, AS GARRETT MENTIONED, WE DO NOT OWN IT AS OF NOW. THESE PICTURES ARE SHOWN FACING ON THE LEFT SIDE, SOUTHWEST TOWARDS THE TURNPIKE AND I-95. THE CENTRAL AREA, WHICH IS PROVIDED BY DRONE AERIAL FOOTAGE, SHOWS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE WILLOW STAND IN QUESTION. YES, I WAS GOING TO SAY, PLEASE SUMMARIZE.

ABSOLUTELY. SO AGAIN, THIS JUST SHOWS COASTAL PLAIN WILLOW AND MAIDEN FERN GROUND COVER, SHOWING BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY AND NOT WHAT WAS REFERENCED AS A MONOCULTURE. A MONOCULTURE, BY DEFINITION, IS THE CULTIVATION OF A SINGLE CROP OR ORGANISM, ESPECIALLY ON AN AGRICULTURAL OR FOREST LAND. THE DESIGN OPPORTUNITIES REMAIN TO PROVIDE ENVIRONMENTAL CONNECTIVITY AND LINKAGES THROUGH THE PRESERVATION OF VIABLE HABITATS THAT ARE SUPERIOR IN QUALITY TO THE HIGH LEVELS OF EXOTICS CURRENTLY PLANNED TO BE RETAINED IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL.

TOWN STAFF APPRECIATES. THE COLLABORATION AND COMMUNICATION WITH THE APPLICANT, AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK TOWARDS A SOLUTION. I AM HERE AND BRIAN IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. OKAY, NOW WE'LL GO TO THE COMMISSION FOR QUESTIONS FOR THAT. WHAT? AFTER WE TALK. OKAY, SO WE WILL GO STARTING ON OUR LEFT. SO, COMMISSIONER KEENAN, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR APPLICANT OR STAFF? REFERENCES, OPPORTUNITIES FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF 200 EMPLOYEES. IS THAT CORRECT? GREAT QUESTION. YES, WE ANTICIPATE HAVING, AT LEAST FOR PHASE 1, OVER 100 EMPLOYEES. FACULTY, STAFF, COACHES, COOKS, ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN THINK OF THAT HAPPENS WITH THE SCHOOL. SO WHILE THE HIGH-PAYING JOBS IS A LOOSE TERM THROWN AROUND IN THE COMP PLAN, WE WILL HAVE REAL JOBS HERE.

ALSO, THERE'S BEEN A HIGH DEMAND FOR PRIVATE SCHOOLS WITH SCHOOL CHOICE, AND SO THE BETTER BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT BUREAU HAS OBVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED THAT IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS. AS A SELECT INDUSTRY THAT WE NEED MORE OF IN THIS AREA DUE TO THE HIGH DEMAND FOR IT. ARE ANY OF THOSE EMPLOYEES GOING TO SIMPLY BE TRANSFERRED FROM THE DELAWARE SITE TO THE NEW LOCATION? YES, A HANDFUL OF THEM. WELL, THAT'S NOT REALLY ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEES. YOU'RE JUST RELOCATING EXISTING EMPLOYEES, RIGHT? THE SCHOOL WILL NEED NEW EMPLOYEES FOR THIS FACILITY.

OBVIOUSLY, SOME TEACHERS WILL BE MOVING OVER THERE TO CONTINUE THE EDUCATION. SO WHILE IT WON'T BE 100% NEW EMPLOYEES,

[00:55:01]

THIS PARTICULAR APPLICATION WILL RESULT IN EXCESSIVE CAPACITY DEMANDS AND MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE CHANGES. DO YOU AGREE WITH WHAT YOU HEARD FROM THE STAFF, OR DO YOU DISAGREE? INFRASTRUCTURE CHANGES RELATED TO? ROAD, TRANSPORTATION, ET CETERA. ROAD TRANSPORTATION.

IT'S AN INTERESTING QUESTION, AND I WILL SAY THAT THE ISLAND WAY SOUTH DELIVERY REQUIRES COORDINATION AMONG VARIOUS. LANDOWNERS. WE ARE WORKING WITH ALL THREE OF THOSE LANDOWNERS ON PROJECTS THAT INCORPORATE THE NECESSARY RIGHT-OF-WAY TO DELIVER ISLAND WAY AT FULL BUILD-OUT.

TO ACCOMMODATE OUR CAPACITY AT 1,200 STUDENTS, FOR OUR INITIAL PHASE 1, 1,200 STUDENTS. AS IT RELATES TO THE ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO GO BEYOND THAT, I DO NOT BELIEVE WE'VE RECEIVED THAT INFORMATION FROM STAFF. I'D LET OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER ANSWER WHAT THOSE IMPROVEMENTS MIGHT BE. GOOD EVENING, ADAM KERR WITH KIMLEY HORN AND ASSOCIATES.

THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED BEYOND THE 1,200 STUDENTS UP TO THE 2,000 STUDENTS, I THINK THE KEY POINT TO MAKE THERE IS THAT, THAT'S AT LEAST... 10 YEARS BEYOND NOW, THE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WILL CERTAINLY CHANGE BETWEEN NOW AND THEN TO PREDICT WHAT THE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WILL BE LIKE, AGAIN, STARTING 10 YEARS FROM NOW, TO FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT CAPACITY WOULD BE NEEDED BEYOND THAT.

UP TO THOSE, AGAIN, TO OUR FIRST PHASE OF THE 01,200, WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD GRASP ON WHAT THOSE IMPROVEMENTS ARE AND HOW TO DELIVER THOSE. WHEN DID YOU SUBMIT THE LAST COLLECTION OF MATERIALS FOR SUBMISSION TO THE ZONING? WAS IT JUST RECENTLY WITHIN THE LAST FEW DAYS? WELL, THERE'S SEVERAL APPLICATIONS FOR THE LAND USE AND THE ZONING. WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH STAFF SORT OF IN AN ONGOING BASIS, RESUBMITTING THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE REVISED. OUR MOST RECENT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT WAS SUBMITTED TO STAFF ON MARCH 3RD. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT INFORMATION. WAS INCORPORATED INTO YOUR PACKET OR THE STAFF REPORT? NOT INITIALLY A SUPPLEMENT. IT WAS A SUPPLEMENT PROVIDED LATER. THIS IS JUST AN OBSERVATION, BUT IT STRIKES ME THAT PERHAPS THE APPLICANT SHOULD BE WORKING MORE CLOSELY WITH STAFF. I GET THE SENSE THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A DISCONNECT HERE. MAYBE IT WAS TIMING. MAYBE THERE WERE OTHER REASONS.

BUT THERE'S AN EDGINESS HERE, THAT'S... UNUSUAL, AND I THINK THINGS MIGHT HAVE WORKED. IF YOU WORK MORE CLOSELY WITH STAFF, YOU MIGHT HAVE BETTER RESULTS.

BUT THAT'S JUST AN OBSERVATION FROM THE POPCORN GALLERY. UH, JUST SOMETHING I WOULD SUGGEST FOR THE FUTURE. BUT UM, IT, IT'S JUST LIKE I SAID, IT'S JUST AN OBSERVATION. UM, I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, OKAY, COMMISSIONER ROBLE. THE LEAST UNDERSTOOD IS A TIMELINE FOR ISLAND WAY. IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE CAN BE ASSURED THAT, IF WE SAY YES, THAT, IN FACT, THERE WILL BE THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO ACCOMMODATE WHAT IS BEING OFFERED? THAT COULD BE EITHER STAFF OR APPLICANT, OR BOTH.

FOR THE RECORD, DONALDSON HEARING WITH KOTLER IN HEARING HERE TONIGHT ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT.

YOU KNOW, ISLAND WAY HAS BEEN A STRATEGIC PRIORITY OF THIS TOWN FOR 20-SOME YEARS.

I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROPERTY WITH MR. PERTINOY, WHO'S HERE IN THE AUDIENCE, FOR WELL OVER 20 YEARS. AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'RE CLOSER THAN WE'VE EVER BEEN. COLLECTIVELY WITH THE TOWN TO DELIVER THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.

BUT THE QUESTION IS, AS PETE PUT UP ON THE SCREEN, WE NEED TO FOLLOW THE STRATEGIC POLICY.

THAT'S IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN THAT TALKS ABOUT HOW DO WE COLLABORATE, THE TOWN COLLABORATING WITH THESE PROPERTY OWNERS TO DELIVER THE RIGHT-OF-WAY. I REPRESENT MR. JOSH SIMON, WHO YOU PROBABLY SAW A FEW WEEKS AGO ON THE BEACON PARK PROPERTY. AND THERE IS A STRONG

[01:00:01]

THERE ARE ALL THESE THINGS COMING TOGETHER, WORKING TOGETHER. IT'S, YOU KNOW, IF WE DON'T ALLOW THIS COLLABORATION TO MOVE FORWARD AND THIS PROJECT STOPS HERE, I CAN TELL YOU. ISLAND WAY VERY LIKELY WOULD NOT GO FORWARD.

BUT WE HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TODAY. TO MAKE IT GO FORWARD.

AND THIS IS AT LEAST THE FOURTH APPLICATION THAT I PERSONALLY HAVE BROUGHT THROUGH FOR MR. PERTINOY AND NOW WITH JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL FOR THE HAWKEYE PROPERTY. AND SO THIS IS JUPITER, IF I'VE EVER TALKED ABOUT JUPITER. THIS IS FOR JUPITER, AND IT'S A PART OF JUPITER. IT'S A PART OF THE HERITAGE OF JUPITER. I HAD THREE DAUGHTERS GO TO JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL. TWO OF THEM NOW WORK LOCALLY BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO TAKE THEIR EDUCATION, BRING IT BACK, AND BE ABLE TO PURCHASE A HOME. AND ARE PART OF THE TOWN. THAT'S WHAT WE WANT. WE WANT ALL OF OUR KIDS TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. THAT'S WHAT JUPITER CHRISTIAN WILL DELIVER.

ARE YOU WILLING TO DO SOME TRIGGERS? SO, FOR EXAMPLE, AS ISLAND WAY MOVES FORWARD, THEN THAT WILL ALLOW CERTAIN ADDITIONAL STUDENTS? SO THAT THERE IS, IN FACT, A TIMELINE THAT IS CONSISTENT ON YOUR SIDE, AS WELL AS ISLAND WAY? EXCELLENT QUESTION.

AND THE ANSWER IS WE CERTAINLY ANTICIPATE WORKING OUT THOSE TYPES OF TRIGGERS WITH STAFF. WE'RE AT LAND USE LEVEL. WE'RE REALLY TALKING SO MANY THINGS THAT ARE SITE-SPECIFIC THAT WE TYPICALLY WOULD NOT TALK ABOUT AT THIS PARTICULAR LEVEL. AND ANY OF YOU MEMBERS WHO HAVE BEEN HERE.

BUT THE ANSWER IS YES, WE WILL WORK THROUGH ALL OF THOSE DETAILS. SO THAT WHAT WE DELIVER COMES ONLINE AND MEETS EVERYBODY'S GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. THERE'LL BE BALANCES, THERE'LL BE TRADE-OFFS BETWEEN THE TOWN, THERE'LL BE TRADE-OFFS FROM JUPITER CHRISTIAN.

BUT WE'RE JUST NOT AT THAT LEVEL. WE DON'T DO THAT AT THE LAND USE LEVEL. WE NEED TO MOVE THIS THING FORWARD TO THE SITE PLAN LEVEL, AND THAT'S WHERE WE'LL GET INTO ALL OF THOSE DETAILS, AND YOU WILL ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO DEVELOP SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL RELATIVE TO THE SITE PLAN.

BUT YOU ARE COMMITTED TO THOSE KIND OF TRIGGERS.

WE'RE EXPECTING THAT. OKAY, THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER CASSATLY. OH, DID I? I'M SORRY. COMMISSIONER THOMPSON, I'M SORRY. REGARDING THE TIME, WHAT IS THE LIKELIHOOD OR THE TIMELINE? FOR THE RIGHT-OF-WAY, FOR ISLAND WAY, WITH WITHOUT JUPITER CHRISTIAN BEING PART OF THIS. JUPITER CHRISTIAN HAS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AT THE SOUTH PORTION OF SOUTH ISLAND WAY. SO WITHOUT THEM, THE CONNECTION WOULDN'T BE MADE, EITHER. EVER? BUT WITHOUT THE RIGHT-OF-WAY, WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO MAKE THE CONNECTION. AND THE TOWN COUNCIL, UP TO THIS DATE, HAS NOT BEEN INTERESTED IN DOING EMINENT DOMAIN TO ACQUIRE THE PROPERTIES.

THAT DECISION WAS MADE A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO. THAT COULD CERTAINLY BE REVISITED, BUT WITH HELP GOING DOWN THAT PATH. THE ROADWAY COULDN'T BE BUILT TO CONNECT JUPITER PARK DRIVE TO THE EXISTING ISLANDWAY TERMINATION AT INDIANTOWN ROAD. OKAY, IT'S MY ONLY QUESTION NOW. COMMISSIONER CASSATLY, THANK YOU. I GO WITH PAUL SENTIMENT. UM, I'VE ONLY BEEN ON THIS FOR TWO YEARS, THE COMMISSION.

BUT THERE'S A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF FRICTION HERE, AND NORMALLY WE LIKE

[01:05:02]

FOR THE APPLICANT SIDE, WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO MOVE THE LAND USE FORWARD.

WE'RE HERE AT A LAND USE LEVEL, AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SITE-SPECIFIC THINGS THAT TYPICALLY, IN 99% OF ALL LAND USE AMENDMENTS WE WOULDN'T BE TALKING ABOUT. WE'RE COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT, BUT IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT THAT IT'S, YOU KNOW, PEEP. SHOWED YOU ALL THE POLICIES THAT WE'RE CONSISTENT WITH, AND THERE'S A FEW POLICIES THAT STAFF POINTS OUT.

THERE'S A BALANCE HERE. WE'LL WORK WITH STAFF. WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH STAFF. BUT THERE'S SOME HONEST DIFFERENCES.

BUT WE'RE NOT AT THE SITE PLAN LEVEL. IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION THAT WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH STAFF AS WE MOVE THROUGH THIS WITH A SITE PLAN, WE'LL DO THAT. I THINK WE CAN GET THERE.

BUT WE DO HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT, IN SOME CASES, THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENCES OF OPINION. AND IT BECOMES BASICALLY POLICY.

FOR COUNCIL, AND WE APPRECIATE THAT, BUT WE'LL BE. WE'RE COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH STAFF AND GETTING THERE, AND AND OF COURSE, WE WANT STAFF TO BE COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH US. AND I I THINK THAT THEY ARE, SO, YEAH, WELL, I I APPRECIATE THAT. I THINK WHEN WE GET DOWN ON A MORE GRANULAR LEVEL WITH THE SITE PLAN AND OTHER MATTERS, THAT CAN BE DECIDED DOWN THE ROAD, THAT'S USUAL.

BUT THERE'S SOME MACROSCOPIC THINGS HERE, UH, FOR INSTANCE, TRAFFIC. I DON'T THINK A SOUL OUT THERE CAN RAISE THEIR HAND.

AND SAY, TRUTHFULLY, THAT THE TRAFFIC ON THE INDIAN TOWN ROAD IS NOT BAD IN THAT AREA. SO I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE DELIVERED UPON, YOU KNOW, BEFORE WE MAKE THE LAND USE MOVEMENT. WELL, THE LAND USE SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY IMPLICATION IN TRAFFIC.

TRAFFIC'S A SITE-SPECIFIC SITE PLAN ISSUE. IT'S NOT LAND USE.

I MEAN, PUBLIC AND INSTITUTIONAL CAN BE ANYTHING.

I MEAN, BUT THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A FEAR FACTOR IN HERE, TOO, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, AS WHAT WE'VE TRIED TO POINT OUT, THAT IT HASN'T BEEN ABLE, WE HAVEN'T BEEN EFFECTIVELY ABLE TO COMMUNICATE IT TO YOU, IS THAT MOST OF THIS TRAFFIC IS ALREADY ON THE ROAD. IT'S NOT TRAFFIC, IT'S NOT BRAND NEW TRAFFIC.

THESE PARENTS, THESE PARENTS THAT LIVE HERE IN JUPITER ARE DRIVING THEIR KIDS NOW. NOW THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS, INSTEAD OF STOPPING AT DELAWARE, THEY'RE GOING TO BE STOPPING AT A DIFFERENT SITE. PLUS, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO TO GREATLY DO TRAFFIC DEMAND MEASURES WHERE WE CAN WORK WITH STAFF, LIKE THROUGH SOME OF THE TRIGGERS THAT MARTY POINTED OUT. WE CAN DEFINE TRIGGERS WHERE WE CAN DEFINE SPECIFIC START TIMES THAT PHYSICALLY WORK THE BEST FOR INDIANTOWN ROAD, JUST LIKE THEY DO WITH THE TRAFFIC SIGNALS. THEY KNOW WHEN THE TIMES ARE.

WELL, WE CAN WORK OUR TIMING SO THAT IT WORKS THAT WAY AS WELL.

THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT WE CAN DO COLLABORATIVELY.

COLLABORATIVELY. THE OTHER THING THAT I THINK EVERYONE IS FEARFUL OF IS THAT, YOU KNOW, JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL IS 63 YEARS OLD THIS YEAR. 63 YEARS OLD. IT TOOK US 63 YEARS TO GET TO THIS POINT. IT'S GOING TO TAKE, AS PETE SAID, PROBABLY, WHAT, FIVE OR SIX YEARS TO GET TO THE 1200 POINT. IT MIGHT BE ANOTHER 60 YEARS BEFORE WE GET TO SOME BIGGER NUMBER.

OF COURSE, WE'LL BE FLYING, YOU KNOW, AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES AT THAT TIME. IT'S IMPORTANT TO US NOT TO BE CAUGHT IN THAT. SAME PREDICAMENT THAT WE ARE RIGHT NOW AT DELAWARE, WHERE WE DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO EXPAND. AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE BRINGING FORTH TO YOU A BIGGER PROJECT. SO I THINK WE CAN WORK OUT ALL OF THESE ISSUES THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. BUT SOME OF IT CLEARLY IS COUNCIL POLICY ISSUES. ARE THERE SOME TRADE-OFFS TO HAVE JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL VERSUS TRUCKS COMING OUT OF THERE? YOU KNOW, WE HAD OTHER PETITIONS THAT WE BROUGHT FORTH TO THE COUNCIL, WHICH HAD SIGNIFICANTLY LESS TRAFFIC, BUT IT WAS LARGE TRUCKS IN BIG BUILDINGS. THE TOWN DIDN'T LIKE THE TRUCKS, THE TYPE OF TRAFFIC. THESE ARE YOUR CONSTITUENTS, YOUR RESIDENTS, YOU KNOW, THE FUTURE OF THE TOWN OF JUPITER, WHO LIVE HERE. AND SO THAT'S WHO WE'RE SERVING, AND I HONESTLY THINK WE HAVE A...

YOU KNOW, A COMPELLING OBLIGATION.

IN THE SAME WAY WE LOOK FOR WATER AND SEWER AND OTHER PUBLIC SERVICES TO ENSURE THAT THIS SERVICE CAN BE HERE. WE

[01:10:03]

SO ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE PART OF THIS. THANK YOU. YES, SIR.

BECAUSE THAT LEADS TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT QUESTION SINCE IT WAS POSTED TO STAFF AND THE APPLICANT.

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED AND THAT WERE IN THE APPLICATION THAT DO VEER INTO DETAILS THAT ARE MORE APPROPRIATE AT THE SITE PLAN LEVEL.

HOWEVER, BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCE OF WORKING ON THIS PROJECT, WE FELT IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO INTRODUCE THE EXPECTATIONS THAT ARE RELEVANT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

AT THE TIME OF THE LAND USE CHANGE TO YOUR BENEFIT TO UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT THIS PROJECT WILL FACE IN MEETING THOSE POLICIES. AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE APPLICANT AND THEIR TEAM, TO HEAR THOSE THINGS EARLIER IN THE PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE AVAILED THE UNDERSTANDING. BECAUSE, AS AN EXAMPLE, WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT, THERE WAS NO COLLABORATION AND PRE-APPLICATION PROCESS THAT WAS FOLLOWED. AS A RESULT OF THOSE THINGS NOT OCCURRING EARLY AT THE ONSET OF THE PROCESS, WE'RE JUST SEEING THOSE ISSUES RESOLVED AT THE END OF THE PROCESS, WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HEARING, YOU KNOW, WITH SOME OF THOSE ADVANCES TO CLOSING THE GAP ON THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN STAFF'S ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT, OUR STAFF, AND THE APPLICANT'S ENVIRONMENTAL REPRESENTATIVES. SO WE DON'T WANT TO REPEAT THAT. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET AHEAD OF THE CURVE TO MAKE THE BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR SUCCESS FOR THE APPLICANT, FOR WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE TO RELOCATE THE SCHOOL AT THIS LOCATION. I WOULD NOTE THAT TRAFFIC IS COMPLETELY GERMANE TO THE CHANGE IN LAND USE. THE CHANGE IN THE LAND USE THAT WAS ILLUSTRATED IN THE STAFF REPORT IN THE PRESENTATION TONIGHT INDICATES THAT THE INDUSTRIAL LAND USE, BASED ON WHAT IS TYPICALLY PRODUCED FOR INDUSTRIAL USES IN THE TOWN, IS HALF OF WHAT WAS REPRESENTED IN THE TRAFFIC STUDY. THAT'S NOT TO SAY IT'S UNREASONABLE FOR THE APPLICANT TO HAVE STATED IT THAT WAY, BECAUSE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ALLOWS UP TO THAT 50 PERCENT LOT COVERAGE. WE'RE JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT TYPICAL. SO IF JUPITER PARK OF COMMERCE WERE TO HAVE CONTINUED KIND OF MARCHING NORTH ONTO THIS PROPERTY, THAT'S THE KIND OF DENSITY OR INTENSITY WE WOULD EXPECT TO BE YIELDED OUT OF THAT. SO WHEN YOU COMPARE THAT ELEVATED PERCENTAGE OF DEVELOPMENT THAT'S IN THE TRAFFIC STUDY TO WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING AS THEIR ACTUAL SITE PLAN. DETAILS THAT YOU WILL SEE IN THE FUTURE, IT'S NOT AN APPLES-TO-APPLES COMPARISON. SO IT WILL HAVE GREATER IMPACT. AND, AS HAS BEEN STATED, TRAFFIC IN THIS AREA IS, IF NOT, THE MOST FREQUENTLY HEARD COMPLAINT IN THE TOWN, YOU KNOW, IT RESONATES THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY SURVEY EVERY TWO YEARS THAT WE CONDUCTED, AND THE TOWN HAS TAKEN THAT ISSUE VERY SERIOUSLY. GOING BACK OVER 20 YEARS, BASED ON PREDICTIONS THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM IN THE TOWN WITH THE PROJECTED GROWTH. AND THAT'S WHY THE JUPITER AREA STUDY WAS INITIATED TO REALLY STUDY THAT IN A VERY REFINED MANNER, TO PREDICT WHAT BUILD-OUT WOULD LOOK LIKE. WE'RE GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THAT POINT IN TIME. THESE ARE KEY PARCELS, SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE DON'T DERAIL ALL THE PROGRESS THAT HAS BEEN MADE.

WITH THE RECENT IMPROVEMENTS TO INDIANTOWN ROAD, THAT HAVE FINALLY GOTTEN IT TO A POINT WHERE IT'S MEETING LEVEL OF SERVICE. IT IS TEETERING ON FAILURE. YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY DELICATE. AND ONCE YOU GET CLOSE TO FAILURE AND CONGESTION ON A ROADWAY, EVERY ADDITIONAL TRIP YOU ADD HAS MORE IMPACT THAN THE PRIOR TRIP. AND IT'S MORE DIFFICULT TO SOLVE BECAUSE WE ARE BUILT OUT IN MOST OF THOSE AREAS AND THE RIGHT-OF-WAY IS CONSTRAINED. SO THE CHANGE IN LAND USE FROM INDUSTRIAL TO PUBLIC INSTITUTIONAL OPENS UP THE MOST LIKELY USE OF A SCHOOL. WHICH HAS UNIQUE TRAFFIC IMPACTS THAT ARE GREATER THAN THE INDUSTRIAL USE AND THE DESIGNATIONS ON THE PROPERTY. THAT'S WHY I SAY IT'S GERMANE TO THE DISCUSSION TONIGHT RELATED TO LAND USE. AND THAT'S WHY WE HAD ASKED THE APPLICANT TO CONSIDER BRINGING FORWARD A TRIP CAP. THAT WE'VE USED ON A NUMBER OF PROPERTIES IN THE TOWN TO PROVIDE A SAFETY NET THAT THE PROPERTY WILL PRODUCE. NO MORE THAN THAT, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THE ROADWAY SYSTEM CAN'T HANDLE THAT. NOW, IF THE WORLD CHANGES AS THE WORLD WILL CHANGE, AND WE'RE NOT DRIVING VEHICLES AND, YOU KNOW, USING SOME OTHER MODE OF TRANSPORTATION THAT DOESN'T HAVE A CONGESTION ISSUE ON INDIAN TOWN ROAD, THOSE CAPS COULD BE ADJUSTED, YOU KNOW.

[01:15:02]

THE APPLICANT, TO DATE HAS NOT BEEN VERY FORTHCOMING WITH...

ANY LEVEL OF AGREEMENT TO SAY, OKAY, WELL, LET'S JUST LOOK, SCALE THIS BACK TO WHAT'S REALISTIC FOR US TO BUILD OUT THE ROADWAY FOR.

SO THAT'S WHY WE ILLUSTRATE THESE CONCERNS. IT'S NOT TO BE DIFFICULT FOR THE APPLICANT. I DON'T THINK THEY WANT THE ROAD CONGESTION ANY MORE THAN THE REST OF US DO BECAUSE WE ALL EXPERIENCE THOSE DELAYS. WE JUST WANT TO HAVE SOME LEVEL OF PROTECTION AND ASSURANCES.

AND I THINK THAT COMMISSIONER ROGEL SPOKE TO THAT THERE ARE TRIGGERS.

AND EXPECTATIONS THAT BEFORE WE GET THIS LEVEL OF STUDENTS, THERE'LL BE THIS LEVEL OF IMPROVEMENTS ON THE ROADWAY. AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY ON THE ROADWAY, THEN YOU DON'T ADVANCE TO THE NEXT LEVEL. AND IT GETS MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT, AS I SAID, AS WE GO TO A HIGHER LEVEL. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. I DO HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING THE ENVIRONMENT. WE RECEIVED AN EMAIL TODAY FROM A NONPROFIT, CITING THERE WAS A PANTHER OUT THERE, A BLACK PANTHER SIGHTED. AND I'M WONDERING HOW THAT MOVES GOING FORWARD. RIGHT. SO WE WERE GIVEN THAT INFORMATION RECENTLY AS WELL. RESIDENT CONCERNS ARE VERY CLEAR ABOUT IMPACTS TO WILDLIFE THAT ARE CONSIDERED PROTECTED, SUCH AS THE GOPHER TORTOISE AND ALSO THE PANTHER THAT WAS SIGHTED.

SO THE EMAIL THAT WE RECEIVED ILLUSTRATES THAT THE DEVELOPMENT THAT, SHOULD IT BE FORTHCOMING, SHOULD CONSIDER THESE SENSITIVE ANIMAL HABITATS AND BEHAVIORS ON THE SITE. THE POTENTIAL FOR IT TO EXIST AS A FUTURE CORRIDOR FOR THOSE ANIMALS. AND AS IT'S CURRENTLY CONSTITUTED, IT IS NOT ADEQUATE. WE HAVE NOT VERIFIED THAT THERE WAS A PANTHER THERE. WE DID VERIFY GOPHER TORTOISE, AN INDICATION OF DEER AND OTHER SPECIES, BUT THAT HAS NOT BEEN VALIDATED.

SO NOT TO SAY IT'S NOT TRUE.

FOR THE APPLICANT, WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO DELAWARE CAMPUS? WHAT ARE THE INTENTIONS? AT THIS POINT, IT'S TOO EARLY, REALLY, TO SAY. WE CERTAINLY ANTICIPATE MOVING MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL ONTO ONE CAMPUS BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO DO.

THAT MAY END UP BEING A LOWER CAMPUS FOR SOME TIME. WE STILL ALSO HAVE THE CAMPUS OVER ON PENNOCK LANE, AS YOU'RE AWARE OF, RIGHT ON INDIANTOWN ROAD AND PENNOCK. SO WHEN WE COME FORWARD AT SITE PLAN LEVEL, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO ARTICULATE COMPLETE. A REAL GOOD... MY CONCERN IS, IF YOU'RE MOVING THE TRAFFIC FROM DELAWARE TO HERE, AND THEN DELAWARE STILL HAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC, THAT'S MY CONCERN. I THINK WE'LL BE ABLE TO ADDRESS IT. AND IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH DELAWARE, WE'RE ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. THE CARS BACK UP, HOUSES BACK UP, OUT ONTO IT. AND SO THIS IS, IN MANY WAYS, A HUGE RELIEVER TO OTHER AREAS.

BUT WE WILL ADVISE YOU OF...

KIND OF WHAT OUR INTENTION WOULD BE FOR DELAWARE AS WE GET THERE.

AND I THINK THAT THAT'S A VERY LEGITIMATE QUESTION. PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS. I HAVE ANOTHER ONE. HOW? BETWEEN THE STAFF, AND I HATE TO BELABOR THIS, AND THE APPLICANT, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO WORK OUT THE WORDING WITH THE 10-ACRE WILLOW COVER? I MEAN, THERE'S SOME BIG OBSTACLES HERE. YOU KNOW, I'M NOT GOING TO DEBATE THEM. RIGHT HERE. I'M NOT ASKING FOR THAT. I'M JUST WONDERING.

BUT WE'LL GET WITH STAFF ON THAT. THERE'S ONE ISSUE IS THE WILLOW. THE OTHER IS THE 10 ACRES. I WILL TELL YOU, I'VE PRACTICED IN THIS TOWN FOR WELL OVER 35 YEARS AND NEVER ONE TIME ON THAT MAP THAT HE SHOWED.

HAVE WE DONE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TO SHOW CONSERVATION LAND BEFORE WE'VE EVEN HAD A SITE PLAN APPROVED. EVEN AFTERWARDS, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. I COULD WALK YOU THROUGH. 30 SITES, INCLUDING ABACOA, THAT DOESN'T HAVE CONSERVATION LAND ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

BUT THE WILLOW, I THINK WE CAN WORK THROUGH THAT BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT OF RECENT, AND THEY HAVE SOME OTHER GOALS AND OBJECTIVES, AND WE'LL SIT DOWN WITH STAFF. AND EDDIE DID AN AMAZING JOB, BY THE WAY. WE'LL SIT DOWN WITH THEM AND WORK THROUGH THAT. OKAY.

COMMISSIONER CASSATLY, THE REASON WHY MR. HERON IS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT. HAPPENING IS BECAUSE THE COUNCIL PASSED.

I HAD A STRATEGIC PRIORITY TO MAKE SURE THAT LANDS THAT WERE APPROVED IN DEVELOPMENT ORDERS FOR CONSERVATION USE OR FOR RECREATION USE WOULD BE RETROACTIVELY DESIGNATED, AND THAT POLICY THAT'S IN THE COMP PLAN WAS ADOPTED IN 2023. SO WE HAVE BEEN ASKED TO RETROACTIVELY GO BACK AND CHANGE THOSE DESIGNATIONS ON THOSE PROPERTIES,

[01:20:02]

LOXAHATCHEE CLUB IS ANOTHER THAT'S IN THE WORKS. SO COUNCIL HAS STATED THEIR INTENTION IS THAT THE LAND USE REFLECT WHAT THE ACTUAL USE IS ON THE PROPERTY, AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR IT AND BROUGHT THAT FORWARD WITH THIS APPLICATION. AND WE DON'T DISAGREE WITH THE CONCEPT, BUT THE WORD, HE SAID, RETROACTIVE, YOU JUST YOU DON'T PUT A CONSERVATION LAND USE ON THE MAP BEFORE YOU EVEN HAVE A SITE PLAN DEVELOPED. IT'S JUST THE TIMING OF IT THAT WILL WORK OUT WITH STAFF. WE DON'T HAVE AN OBJECTION TO THE TO THE CONCEPT OF IT. IT'S JUST I WORK ALL OVER THE STATE OF FLORIDA, AND I'VE NEVER ONCE DONE IT. I LIKE THE CONCEPT OF RETROACTIVE, BUT BEFORE WE EVEN HAVE A SITE PLAN APPROVED, YOU'D HAVE TO DO A COMP PLAN AMENDMENT IF YOU MODIFIED.

EVEN A SQUARE INCH OF IT. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO WORK THROUGH. WE DID ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IN THE STAFF REPORT. THAT THE OPTION WOULD BE TO DEFER THAT UNTIL THE SITE PLAN AND PUD ARE ADOPTED AND MAKE THAT A CONDITION OF THAT APPROVAL.

AGAIN, TRYING TO SET EXPECTATIONS SO THEY'RE UNDERSTOOD AS EARLY IN THE PROCESS AS POSSIBLE. I HAVE ONE LAST QUESTION, I PROMISE, REGARDING THE WORKFORCE HOUSING. THE DENSITY, I THINK, WAS 92 UNITS OVER THOSE ACRES, BUT THERE'S BONUSES BUILT IN. I'M WONDERING WHAT THE INTENTION MIGHT BE FOR THAT. YEAH, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVIDES FOR VERY SPECIFIC OPPORTUNITIES TO INCREASE DENSITY TO HELP FUND WORKFORCE HOUSING.

IT'S ONLY BEEN DONE REALLY, ONE OTHER TIME IN A MEANINGFUL WAY IN THE TOWN, AND THAT'S BEEN AT THE BARCELONA PROJECT. AND WE WOULD CERTAINLY LOOK TO UTILIZE THAT IN ORDER TO AFFORD TO BUILD WORKFORCE HOUSING.

BECAUSE IN THE TOWN... WHEN WE DO WORKFORCE HOUSING, IT'S NOT AT 140% OF AMI, THE COST OF LIVING, BUT THE TOWN REQUIRES A REALLY GOOD STRATIFICATION OF IT, STARTING BETWEEN 60% AND 80% OF MEDIAN INCOME, WHICH IS ACTUALLY VERY, VERY LOW INCOME. AND SO WE NEED THOSE DENSITY BONUSES IN ORDER TO MAKE A PROJECT WORK, AND WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

COMMISSIONER GRABOWSKI. NO, THAT'S ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT, THIS QUESTION IS TO STAFF, I THINK. BUT, YOU KNOW, I SAW BASICALLY THE FOUR ISSUE AREAS, EXCEEDING, TRANSPORTATION, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ET CETERA. THE WAY I LOOKED AT EACH ONE OF THESE, AND I WANT TO EXPLORE. YOUR COMMENT ON WHETHER THE TRANSPORTATION ISSUE IS APPLICABLE, IS BASICALLY TO GET THROUGH THIS PHASE OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, ONLY THE ISSUE WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND THE BIOSCIENCES OVERLAY AND THE INCOMPATIBILITIES OF THE RESIDENTIAL AREA BEING INTRODUCED BETWEEN THE INDUSTRIAL SOUTH AND THE COAST, THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT REALLY APPLY TO THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE BEFORE US TODAY. AND THE WAY I LOOK AT IT, THE TRANSPORTATION ISSUE, IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE WORKED REGARDLESS.

WHETHER THIS WERE AN INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, AM I CORRECT, OR WHETHER WE CHANGE THE LAND USE.

THE CHANGE IN LAND USE CREATES A LIKELY RESULT THAT THE TRAFFIC WILL BE GREATER FROM THE NEW LAND TO PUBLIC INSTITUTIONAL. AND AS A RESULT, THAT'S WHY WE BROUGHT THE ISSUE UP AND LOOKED AT IT VERY CAREFULLY, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES AT THE LEGISLATIVE LEVEL WHEN THE COUNCIL HAS A POLICY DECISION TO BE MADE.

AND IT ALSO AVAILS US THE OPPORTUNITY TO PUT IN SOME SAFETY MEASURES, SUCH AS A TRIP CAP, TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN THE LAND USE IS CHANGED, IT DOESN'T CREATE A WORSE SITUATION THAN WE PREVIOUSLY HAD. WE NEED TO BE WORKING IN A DIRECTION TO MINIMIZE OR REDUCE INTENSITY OF DEVELOPMENTS LIKE THAT HAS BEEN DONE ON MANY DEVELOPMENTS IN THIS AREA. YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE PRIOR DEVELOPMENTS, IF THEY WERE PROPOSING THIS LEVEL OF TRIPS, YOU KNOW, LET ME SEE HOW I CAN SAY THIS. A LOT OF THE PRIOR DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE REVIEWED IN THE HISTORY AND THAT MR. HEARING HAD REFERRED TO DIDN'T ADVANCE BECAUSE PRIMARILY BECAUSE THE ROAD SOLUTION DIDN'T GET SOLVED. I MEAN, THE ROAD ISSUE DIDN'T GET SOLVED.

THERE WAS NO PATH TO BUILD THE ROADWAY. THERE WERE JUST DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS. BUT THEY WERE MUCH LESS INTENSITY, YOU KNOW,

[01:25:01]

ON ITS FACE, MAKES IT LOOK THAT MUCH MORE INSURMOUNTABLE.

TO GET SUCCESS, YOU KNOW. BUT LET ME SEE IF I CAN... I UNDERSTAND YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT US AND THE TOWN COUNCIL ARE AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF THE LAND USE CHANGE AND THAT THE CHANGE IN LAND USE PROPOSED IS NOT IN A FAVORABLE DIRECTION FOR TRAFFIC, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN ALWAYS BE WORKED THROUGH BY THE TIME WE GET TO THE PUD OR THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL, OR THE SPECIAL EXEMPTION APPROVAL. WHAT WE'RE DOING IS IF YOU SUPPORT... THE CHANGE IN LAND USE, AND WE'RE NOT SAYING YAY OR NAY ON THAT ISSUE, BUT IF YOU ENTERTAIN A CHANGE IN LAND USE, IT WOULD BE IN YOUR BEST INTEREST. TO PROTECT AND PUT THAT SAFETY MEASURE IN TO MAKE SURE THE TRAFFIC NEVER GOES BEYOND A CERTAIN POINT. GOT IT.

FAIR. OKAY. SO I'M A NOVICE HERE, BUT I GO LOOK AT THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION. THEY SHOW THE LITTLE STEP CHART, RIGHT? FIRST, THE LAND USE CHANGE, THEN THE PUD, AND THEN THE SPECIAL EXEMPTION.

WHY DO WE BREAK THIS ALL UP, CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT A WHOLE LOT STILL HAS TO BE WORKED OUT? BECAUSE IT'S A POLICY DECISION OF THE COUNCIL, AND IT HAS BEEN OUR PRACTICE AT THE TOWN. NOT TO GET OURSELVES THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE AND HAVE ALL THOSE DETAILS. IT'S NOT ONLY A HEAVY LIFT TO PRODUCE ALL THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU, IT'S ALSO A HEAVY EXPENSE FOR APPLICANTS TO GO THROUGH ON THEIR SIDE. AND WE TRY TO INCREMENTALLY DO THAT SO WE DON'T GET TOO FAR AHEAD OF OURSELVES. FAIR ENOUGH.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT QUESTION DOES GO TO THE TRANSPORTATION, AND IT GOES IN THIS PARTICULAR ASPECT. IF A TRIP CAP APPROACH IS IMPLEMENTED IN SOME FASHION, OKAY, TO ADDRESS THE TRAFFIC ISSUE, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE'S A... HIGH POSSIBILITY, POSSIBILITY HERE THAT THE WORKFORCE HOUSING MAY NEVER OCCUR. THAT WORKFORCE HOUSING COULD. I WANT TO HEAR WHAT THE APPLICANT HAS TO SAY. YOU COULD JUST REPEAT THE END OF THAT. IT SEEMS TO ME THERE'S A FAIRLY HIGH POSSIBILITY THAT THE WORKFORCE HOUSING ELEMENT OF THE PROJECT MAY NEVER OCCUR.

WELL, THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL OCCUR.

IN ANY SCENARIO. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT, RIGHT? BUT THE APPLICANT IS SAYING, HEY, I'M OFFERING YOU THIS AS A CARROT. WHAT DOES THE TOWN OF JUPITER GET OUT OF THIS? 100% WORKFORCE HOUSING. AND I THINK IT'S 100% RELATIVE, BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT THE DYNAMIC OF TRAFFIC YOU EXPERIENCE ON THE INDIAN TOWN ROAD, I MEAN, SO MANY PEOPLE WHO LIVE AND WORK IN JUPITER CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE HERE. SO THEY'RE DRIVING FROM PORT ST. LUCIE, OR INDIAN TOWN, OR STEWART, OR HOBE SOUND, WEST PALM BEACH. I CAN TELL YOU JUST BY, YOU KNOW, OUR 50 EMPLOYEES, WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM.

THEY'RE NOT ONLY A HANDFUL OF THEM ARE SO LUCKY TO LIVE IN JUPITER. SO THEY'RE DRIVING IN. AND SO THIS WORKFORCE HOUSING, WHY WE HAVE TO ASSUME THAT WE'RE USING TRADITIONAL TRAFFIC RATES, ARE BASICALLY GOING TO ENABLE US TO HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE.

WORKING AT THE SCHOOL OR WORKING IN THE JUPITER PARK OF COMMERCE, OR WORKING CLOSE BY BE ABLE TO LIVE HERE. SO IT ACTUALLY HAS THE ABILITY, NOT ON PAPER, BUT IN REALITY AND PRACTICALITY, TO REDUCE TRAFFIC IMPACT.

BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS TO DRIVE INTO JUPITER, AND THAT'S WHY INDIANTOWN ROAD. IN THE PM IS TERRIBLE, WITH PEOPLE LEAVING, AND THEN IN THE AM, THEY'RE ALL COMING IN. SO I THINK IT'S A VERY RELATIVE.

COMMENT. AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WILLING TO, YOU KNOW, TO LIVE WITH A CONDITION OF APPROVAL THAT WILL DO WORKFORCE HOUSING. YES, THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IT TODAY, BUT WE'RE RIGHT AWAY. BUT I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S A NEED AND THAT THERE'S A MARKET AND WE'VE SPOKEN WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE AN INTEREST TO DO IT. SO IT'S JUST NOT THE FIRST THING ON OUR PRIORITY LIST. WE HAVE TO GET THIS SCHOOL APPROVED BECAUSE WE HAVE A CONTRACT WITH A LAND SELLER. THAT IS A DEFINITIVE TIME, AND THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT HAS TO GO INTO THAT APPLICATION. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, DON. ALL RIGHT. THIS QUESTION IS FOR STAFF. WHY HASN'T THE TOWN MOVED ON THE COM PLAN AMENDMENTS SINCE THE SUNSET OF THE BIOSCIENCES LAND PROTECTION ADVISORY BOARD AND THE TERMINATION OF THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT? IS THERE A REASON? THE COUNCIL DECIDED TO KEEP THEM IN PLACE. THAT WAS DISCUSSED WHEN THEY REMOVED. OR GOT OUT OF THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT AND TOOK THOSE ACTIONS,

[01:30:01]

OKAY. SO THAT GOES TO, IN MY MIND, THE... A STATEMENT IN THE STAFF REPORT THAT THE TYPICAL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT COULD PRODUCE TWO TO SEVEN TIMES AS MANY JOBS AS THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. WERE PREVIOUS DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS EVER BIOSCIENCE RELATED? AND IF SO, WHAT WERE THEIR ASSOCIATED EMPLOYMENT ESTIMATES? WELL, WE HAVE ONE IN PROCESS. WELL, IT'S NOT IN PROCESS NOW, BUT WE'RE SELLING A PROPERTY TO A... I'M TALKING ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR SITE.

OF THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY? YEAH. I'M NOT SURE THAT WE HAVE THAT INFORMATION ON THIS SPECIFIC PROPERTY. AND THE POINT I'M GETTING AT IS THAT THE SITE MAY EVER...

I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK INTO IT.

WE MAY HAVE SOME INFORMATION FROM THE LAST APPLICATION. THE SITE MAY NEVER BE DEVELOPED FOR BIOSCIENCE INDUSTRIAL PURPOSES, SO ANY STATEMENT ON THE POTENTIAL NUMBER OF JOBS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, IN SOME RESPECTS, IS CONJECTURE, BECAUSE THAT BIOSCIENCE SITE, IN ADDITION TO THE... YOU KNOW, WHATEVER TRAFFIC. WELL, THAT WOULDN'T BE TRUE, JUST THAT USE, JUST INDUSTRIAL PARK TYPE USES IN GENERAL, NOT BIOSCIENCE SPECIFIC. THIS ONE'S FOR THE APPLICANT, PLEASE. WERE OTHER SITE PLAN CONFIGURATIONS EVALUATED THAT WOULD LOCATE THE RESIDENTIAL ZONE NEAR THE CONSERVATION AREAS AND THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL ZONES? AND IF THEY WERE, WHY WERE THEY REJECTED? OR YOU JUST GLOMMED ON TO THE CONFIGURATION? NO, NO, IT WAS, THE SITE PLAN HAS BEEN DEVELOPED WITH A GREAT DEAL OF INTENTIONALITY. YOU KNOW, THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS CAMPUS IS THE SCHOOL, HOW IT LAYS OUT WITH THE FIELDS. FIELDS ARE IMPORTANT TO JUPITER, TOO.

BEING ABLE TO GET THE QUEUING AND THE STACKING INTO THE SITE, WHICH IS IMPORTANT. AND I THINK PETE MENTIONED THAT... ALL OF OUR STACKING IS ABOUT A MILE OF STACKING ON SITE. THOSE ARE, YOU KNOW, MUCH MORE IMPORTANT COMPETING ELEMENTS TO WHY, WHY. WE'VE LOCATED THE SITE PLAN WHERE THE SITE PLAN IS.

BUT THE C18 CANAL, IT IS, IT'S OPEN SPACE, BUT IT IS BY NO MEANS A CONSERVATION, IT'S CONSERVATION LAND USE, BUT IT'S OPEN SPACE WITH TREES. IT'S BEEN DEVELOPED AND IMPACTED BY, BY MAN. SO IT'S, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S NOT AN ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVE AREA BY ANY MEANS. WE ACTUALLY TUCKED THE MULTIFAMILY COMPONENT IN AN AREA THAT WE THINK IS GOOD. A, SO WE COULD HAVE ITS OWN INDIVIDUAL ACCESS IN AND OUT OF THE SITE, WHILE WE CAN HAVE THE CIRCULATION FOR THE SCHOOL, MULTIPLE POINTS IN AND OUT OF THE SITE. SECURITY, OF COURSE, TODAY, WITH SCHOOL CAMPUSES, IS PARAMOUNT. SO, SO MUCH HAS TO GO INTO. IS THAT SCHOOL SPACE DEFENSIBLE AND HOW IT WORKS. SO ALL OF THOSE THINGS PLAY TOGETHER.

SO WE PUT THAT MULTIFAMILY TUCKED UP AGAINST THAT BEAUTIFUL CYPRESS WETLAND THAT WE'RE PRESERVING AND AMONGST THE VEGETATION. AND SO IT'S IN A GOOD SHOT. IT'S NOT BACKING UP ONTO ANY INDUSTRIAL THAT REALLY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SEE. WE CAN BUFFER IT. AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE THINK THAT IT'S APPROPRIATE. I DO LAND USE WORK THROUGHOUT. THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND A LOT HERE IN PALM BEACH COUNTY AND SOUTH FLORIDA. AND AS PETE HAD POINTED OUT, THE REASON THE LEGISLATURE CREATED LIVE LOCAL WAS BECAUSE THEY SPECIFICALLY WANTED THESE TYPES OF WORKFORCE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS LOCATED IN AND AMONGST EMPLOYMENT.

IN ORDER TO REDUCE TRAFFIC. SO FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA THINKS THAT IT IS COMPATIBLE AND IT IS APPROPRIATE. SO THROUGH SITE DESIGN, OF COURSE, THE SITE DESIGN WILL COME BACK TO YOU. WE'LL BE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE THAT TO YOU WITH THAT SPECIFIC SITE DESIGN.

AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO DO IT. AND MULTIFAMILY, AS YOUR STAFF WILL TELL YOU, IS ALSO AN APPROPRIATE TRANSITION TO AN INDUSTRIAL OR A SCHOOL USE, AS OPPOSED TO SINGLE FAMILY. SO IT'S A HIGH DENSITY. SO IT'S AN APPROPRIATE TRANSITION TO A DIFFERENT LAND USE. YOU WOULD NEVER DO IT WITH LOW DENSITY, BUT WITH MULTIFAMILY, RIGHT.

OKAY, BACK TO STAFF REAL QUICK WITH THIS QUESTION. YOU KNOW, YOU PUT IN A HYPOTHETICAL TRIP CAP APPROACH. THAT HYPOTHETICAL APPROACH, ASSUMING IT GOES FORWARD OR WHATEVER, DOES INVOLVE REDUCTIONS IN POPULATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH SOME OF THE OTHER DEVELOPMENTS PLANNED FOR THAT AREA. IS ANY FEEDBACK

[01:35:02]

DETERMINED TO BE AN ISOLATED, NON-FUNCTIONING, OR DIMINISHING SYSTEM BY THE APPROPRIATE JURISDICTIONAL AGENCY. SO THAT, AND OR GIVES THEM THE SAY, OKAY, WE THINK IT'S OF OVERRIDING PUBLIC INTEREST.

AND THAT APPROACH WASN'T ACKNOWLEDGED IN THE STAFF REPORT. IS THERE SOME REASON WHY? SO THAT DECISION, BECAUSE IT'S FORTHCOMING, IT CAN'T BE DETERMINED AT THIS TIME WHAT THE SITUATION IS.

AND WE ARE STILL WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT AND THE JURISDICTION, I PRESUME, ON DETERMINING THE FUNCTIONALITY AND THE VIABILITY OF THE SYSTEMS CONTAINED WITHIN IT. OKAY. SO, ANOTHER QUESTION FOR STAFF, IF YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS PARTICULAR ONE. WAS THE INDIAN TOWN ROAD WIDENING THAT'S SO RECENTLY COMPLETED, WAS THAT DONE IN MIND WITH THE PREDICTED INDUSTRIAL TRAFFIC THAT MIGHT GO ALONG WITH THIS SITE? IN OTHER WORDS, IT GOES BACK TO THAT QUESTION EARLIER. I WASN'T SURE WHAT THE RESPONSE WAS.

IN OTHER WORDS, IF SOMEBODY COMES IN AND DEVELOPS A SITE AND MEETS THE 25% QUOTA, DO I STILL HAVE AN ISSUE? WITH INDIAN TOWN ROAD BETWEEN ISLAND WAY AND 95? I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WAS PARTICULARLY STUDIED, BUT JUST LOOKING AT THE TRAFFIC SCENARIOS, IT'S A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION OFF OF THE WHAT WAS LOOKED AT IN 2022 IN TERMS OF BOTH A.M.

AND P.M. PEAK HOURS. SO MY ASSUMPTION WOULD BE THAT IT FALLS BELOW THOSE TWO THRESHOLDS THAT WERE CALIBRATED AT THE 551,000 SQUARE FEET OF R&D. THEREFORE, IT WOULD WOULDN'T TRIGGER ANY OF THOSE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS.

BUT WE HAVE TO STUDY THAT CERTAINLY SEPARATELY TO GET A DEFINITIVE ANSWER. SO THE TOWN'S TRAFFIC ENGINEER MAY WANT TO. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO GIVE ANY INPUT ON THAT FURTHER.

BUT I WOULD SAY, GENERALLY WITH INDIAN DOWN ROAD, I MEAN, IT WAS TO MAXIMIZE THE CAPACITY. AND THEN THERE ARE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE VITAL TO ACCOMMODATE THAT LEVEL OF INTENSITY SHOWN. IN THE 2022 JUPITER-ARIES STUDY, PARTICULARLY STUDIED TRAFFIC GENERATIONS AND ITS IMPACT FROM THE NORTH PARCEL OF THE INDIAN TOWN AND THE SOUTH PARCEL OF THE INDIAN TOWN, COLLECTIVELY, THE IMPACT ON THE INTERSECTION AND ALSO THE ISLAND WAY, THE LINK. SO IF ONE PARTICULAR PARCEL TRIGGERED A HEAVIER DRIFT GENERATION, AND THE OTHER, AT ITS TRADE-OFF, NEED TO BE REDUCED, IS TRAFFIC IMPACT. SO, IN THIS CASE, WE HAVE THE PROPOSED VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC GENERATION FROM BEACON PARK, WHICH IS IN NORTH PASO, AND SO WE CAN ALLOCATE THE TRIP TO SERVE THE SOUTH PASO, IN THIS CASE, AS HIGH-GUIDE TRAFFIC.AND SO WHAT MATTERS IS THE TRIPS, IS THE TRIP OR THE HYPERSAFETY, THE TRIP CAP YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH USE GENERATES THAT PARTICULAR TRIP.

SO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT PART, RIGHT? I UNDERSTAND THAT.

YEAH, SO, BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT EACH TRIP, EACH PARTICULAR LAND USE, TRIP GENERATION, IT ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH SO-CALLED A PEAKING EFFECT, AND THE DIFFERENT TRAFFIC PATTERN WILL BE CREATED BASED ON THAT. THE PEAKING EFFECT IN THIS CASE, UNFORTUNATELY, THE SCHOOL TRAFFIC ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE VERY HIGH PEAKING EFFECT.

THAT'S WHY WE PAY DUE ATTENTION TO IT AND PAY SPECIFICALLY TO ITS PEAKING EFFECT, AND WE

[01:40:02]

OVER THE BALANCE BETWEEN THE NORTH AND SOUTH PARCEL DEVELOPMENT INTENSITY. THANK YOU. YEAH, THAT'S ALL.

COMMISSIONER BLUM? YES. FOR STAFF, I NOTICED ON SLIDE FIVE, YOU TALKED ABOUT A DAYCARE PLANET, KIDS.

IT'S... THAT'S NOT IN PLACE NOW, CORRECT? NO, THAT'S A SEPARATE APPLICATION.

YOU SAW THE LAND USE, ANNEXATION AND REZONING FOR THAT A FEW MONTHS BACK. SO THAT'S ANOTHER COUPLE HUNDRED KIDS, WHICH WOULD ALSO IMPACT TRAFFIC, CORRECT? YEAH, THE CURRENT APPLICATION IS FOR 350 STUDENTS, BUT YOU'LL NOTICE, AS PART OF THAT ANALYSIS, FOR THE PURPOSES OF LOOKING AT THAT ANALYSIS, IT WAS REDUCED TO 220, AND WE DON'T HAVE AN APPLICATION THAT CONFIRMS THE APPLICANT IS ACCEPTING OF THAT YET, SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WORK THROUGH THAT ISSUE. IF THEY DID, WOULD THAT BE ADDITIONAL TRIPS TO WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED HERE? THAT REDUCTION HAS BEEN FACTORED INTO THE 1200 AND THE 1300 THAT SCENARIO, SO IT'S A REDUCTION OF EVERYBODY'S TRIPS, COMMENSURATE WITH WHAT THE ROADWAY CAN TAKE.

SO THAT'S INCLUDING THE ADDITIONAL 220 IF THEY TOOK THAT LOWER NUMBER? YEAH, SO ASSUMING THEY ACCEPT 220, THAT 1200 IS CALIBRATED TO ALSO FACTOR IN THE 220 STUDENTS THERE. I SEE. AND FOR THE APPLICANT, I APPRECIATE VERY MUCH THE WORKFORCE HOUSING. I DO HAVE A CONCERN, THOUGH, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE WORKFORCE, HOUSING, BEING ALL THE DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT IT WOULD SERVE.

BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE WHEN YOU SAID, YOU'RE GOING TO CREATE 205 JOBS, WHICH, AGAIN, THAT WAS A LITTLE UNCLEAR BASED ON HOW MANY JOBS ARE ACTUALLY TRANSFERRING OVER VERSUS NEW JOBS. BUT BY THE TIME YOU GET 2,000 STUDENTS THERE, THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF JOBS. HOW DO YOU... FACTOR IN THAT THAT HOUSING DOES NOT JUST GO TO THE SCHOOL EMPLOYEES? GREAT QUESTION. FLORIDA LAW OR FEDERAL LAW DOESN'T ALLOW US TO DISCRIMINATE IN TERMS OF HOUSING. SO, WHILE WE CAN OPEN UP OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOLKS TO PUT IN RENTAL APPLICATIONS, WE CANNOT SELECTIVELY LIMIT IT TO A CERTAIN GROUP. THERE'S FEDERAL HOUSING LAW. SO IT'S FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE, MORE OR LESS.

FOR GETTING THAT HOUSING? YEAH, WE HAVE TO OPEN IT UP TO EVERYBODY. OKAY. AND HAVE SCHOOL BUSES BEEN CONSIDERED? RIGHT NOW, THE SCHOOL DOESN'T CURRENTLY USE SCHOOL BUSES, BUT IT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING WE CAN CONSIDER, OBVIOUSLY, WITH THE MORE SPACE THAT WE'LL HAVE NOW AT THE LEGACY CAMPUS. IT WOULD MAKE SENSE FOR US TO EVALUATE THE PROPOSAL FOR SCHOOL BUSES. AGAIN, THINGS WE CAN LOOK AT AT THE SITE PLAN LEVEL AS WE ADDRESS... ON-SITE TRAFFIC, CIRCULATION AND THE DESIGN ON-SITE. SO THERE IS OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO EXPLORE THAT OPTION, YES.

IT SEEMS LIKE THAT COULD MAKE A GREAT IMPACT ON THIS TRAFFIC ISSUE. SO I'M JUST SURPRISED THAT HADN'T COME UP. THAT'S ALL I HAVE RIGHT NOW. GREAT. OKAY. YES, IT'S FUN TO GO LAST BECAUSE A LOT OF THE QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ASKED. SO IT MAKES MINE BRIEFER.

TO THE POINT OF, YOU KNOW, WHY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE TRAFFIC AND THE RIGHT-OF-WAY? SO MUCH, BECAUSE THAT REALLY IS KIND OF A LINCHPIN FOR MY DECISION. AND I THINK BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK BACK, YOU KNOW, AT THE HAWKEYE PROPERTY, SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED, YOU KNOW, BY MR. PERTNOY, THERE'S BEEN FOUR PROJECTS. AND FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, YOU KNOW, THAT THE MAIN LINCHPIN FOR THOSE NOT GOING THROUGH WAS BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT GET THE RIGHT-OF-WAY SQUARED AWAY. AND THEREFORE, ISLAND WAY DONE. SO THE CONCERN FOR ME IS, IF WE MAKE THIS TRANSITION TO INSTITUTIONAL, SLASH, RESIDENTIAL, AND AGAIN, THE FIFTH TIME, YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN, BECAUSE NOT ALL THE PARTIES ARE AT THE TABLE YET. NOW WE'RE THEN STUCK WITH THAT, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE JUST GAVE UP ALL OF THE INDUSTRIAL ON THE NORTH SIDE OF INDIAN TOWN ROAD, OFF OF ISLAND WAY.

SO THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AS FAR AS INDUSTRIAL. AND YOU CAN SEE FROM THE HISTORY ON THE HAWKEYE PROPERTY THAT THERE HAVE BEEN, YOU KNOW, PROJECTS, VIABLE PROJECTS, BUT THE DIFFICULTY IS THIS RIGHT-OF-WAY IN ISLAND ROAD. SO MY QUESTION TO YOU... THERE ARE BASICALLY SIX PIECES OF PROPERTY THAT I UNDERSTAND, JUPITER, CHRISTIAN, WHICH THEY'VE SAID, OF COURSE, THEY WOULD GIVE IT. AND YOU'RE SAYING, MR. SIMON IS SAYING HIS PIECES OF PROPERTY THAT HE OWNS, HE'S WILLING TO GIVE.

BUT HAVE WE HEARD FROM THE GAS STATION? AND I CAN

[01:45:02]

AND ANOTHER PROPERTY OWNER HAS ALLOWED US TO USE SOME OF HIS PROPERTY. SO THAT THE GAS STATION OWNER COULD BE MADE WHOLE AND COULD BUILD A BIGGER GAS STATION. WITH THE PLANET KIDS. A PROPERTY OWNER IS WILLING TO HELP PROVIDE ADDITIONAL LAND TO THE DAYCARE IN ORDER TO HELP THEIR PLAN WORK BETTER AND FUNCTION BETTER. WITH THE UNDERSTANDING AND COMMITMENT THAT THAT LANDOWNER IS GOING FORWARD, AND THAT LANDOWNER HAS ACTUALLY COME IN, AND AT LEAST IS IN THE PROCESS.

AND WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS.

WE'LL WORK WITH STAFF TO GET TO WHERE WE NEED TO BE. SO THERE'S NO PROMISE, THERE'S NO GUARANTEE, BUT I COULD TELL YOU WE HAVE NEVER BEEN CLOSER. AND I'VE WORKED ON BOTH OF THE PROPERTIES, BEACON PARK AND THE HAWKEYE, MY ENTIRE CAREER IN THE TOWN OF JUPITER. SO I CAN TELL YOU WE'RE CLOSE. THOSE STRATEGIC PLAN POLICIES SAY THAT WE'RE TO COLLABORATE. AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT YOUR ADMINISTRATION IS, AND YOU ALL HAVE, TOO, BECAUSE YOU'VE LOOKED AT THE BEACON PARK PETITIONS AND YOU'VE HELPED THAT COLLABORATION. AND I THINK THIS DISCUSSION IS A PART OF IT, TOO. SO THERE IS NO GUARANTEE.

OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE SOME MEETINGS SCHEDULED NEXT COUPLE WEEKS WITH THE TOWN ATTORNEY ON SOME OF THOSE OTHER PIECES. SO THAT WILL BEGIN TO COME OUT. YOU KNOW, I THINK AT THE END OF THE DAY, OUR GOAL WOULD BE THAT. YOU'RE MAKING THE LAND USE DECISION, COUNCIL'S MAKING THE FINAL LAND USE DECISION, AT THE SAME TIME, THE SITE PLAN'S IN FRONT OF THEM, AT THE SAME TIME THAT THEY HAVE THE ASSURANCES ON THESE OTHER PIECES OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY, AT LEAST ENOUGH, WHERE THEY CAN MAKE A PREDICTABLE, INTELLIGENT DECISION ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

SO I REALLY BELIEVE THAT THAT'S WHAT YOU WILL SEE. SO THE GAS STATION HAS ALREADY BEEN... IN NEGOTIATIONS? I CAN TELL YOU THAT WE'VE BEEN RETAINED TO DEVELOP SITE PLANS FOR IT, THAT THE TOWN COUNCIL, THE TOWN ADMINISTRATION, AND SOME OF THE OTHER LANDOWNERS UNDERSTAND THAT IMPORTANT NEED, AND THEY'RE DOING, EVERYONE IS WORKING TOGETHER TO TRY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

THAT'S WHAT I CAN TELL YOU.

IT'S NEVER BEEN THIS CLOSE EVER. QUESTION FOR STAFF. MR. HERRING JUST SAID THAT WHEN IT GOES BEFORE THE TOWN COUNCIL, THEY'LL HAVE ALL PIECES TOGETHER. YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY'RE DECIDING THIS, THE ZONING AND LAND USE CHANGE, THEY'LL ALSO HAVE THE SITE PLAN AND EVERYTHING THAT THEY CAN LOOK AT THIS AS ONE PROJECT OVERALL, OR ARE THEY GOING TO DO IT PIECEMEAL? THE APPROACH THUS FAR HAS BEEN THAT, ONCE A RECOMMENDATION IS MADE BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THE FOLLOWING MONTH, THAT WOULD GO TO THE TOWN COUNCIL FOR THEIR FIRST READING CONSIDERATION.

THESE ACTIONS ARE VIA ORDINANCES, WHICH TAKE TWO READINGS READINGS. IT'S ANTICIPATED THAT THE SECOND READING WOULD NOT BE CONDUCTED FOR THE LAND USE CHANGE UNTIL THE SITE PLAN STARTED TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. SO AT FIRST READING, WE'LL GET A POLICY DIRECTION FROM THE COUNCIL AND THEN WE'LL KNOW HOW WE CAN MOVE FORWARD OR NOT.

WITH THE SITE PLAN AND PUDS FOR THESE DIFFERENT PROJECTS, AND THEN EACH PROJECT AS ANTICIPATED.

TO HAVE ITS SECOND READING ON THE LAND USE, CHANGE AND ZONING.

AT THE SAME TIME, THEY'RE ALSO SEEING THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER FOR THE SITE PLAN, OR PUD.

OKAY, THANK YOU. MY NEXT QUESTION IS FOR MR. BAIRD. I KNOW WE DON'T TYPICALLY DO DUAL LAND USE DESIGNATIONS, EVEN THOUGH THE COUNTY DOES DO THAT.

THAT'S BEEN OUR STANDARD POLICY NOT TO DO THAT. BUT CAN WE ADD TO THE CURRENT INDUSTRIAL DESIGNATION A SCHOOL AS A USE? BY RIGHT? THAT WAY, WE HAVE THAT FLEXIBILITY IF THIS PROJECT DOES NOT GO THROUGH WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN BY A DUAL LAND USE APPLICATION.

WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU ARE APPLICATIONS TO CHANGE, THE LAND USE AND THE ZONING. I KNOW,

[01:50:01]

WHAT I'M ASKING IS... WELL, WHAT I'M ANSWERING IS THAT YOU NEED TO ADDRESS THE APPLICATIONS IN FRONT OF YOU, NOT...

SPECULATE OR ASK ME TO SPECULATE ON WHAT YOU COULD DO WITH LAND USE, ON SOME, IN SOME OTHER SCENARIO.

BUT THAT'S A MAJOR PART OF MY DECISION AND IT'S AN IMPORTANT PART OF IT. I MEAN, WHO WOULD BE INITIATING THAT APPLICATION THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHERE THAT WOULD BE COMING FROM. OKAY, SO IF WE SAY NO TO THIS APPLICATION BECAUSE WE DO NOT WANT TO PIGEONHOLE OURSELVES.

TO BE JUST SIMPLY INSTITUTIONAL, GIVEN THE TRACK RECORD OF THE ISLAND WAY SITUATION. THE APPLICANT WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK AGAIN. AND MY QUESTION TO YOU IS, CAN...

WAIT, STOP. THIS BODY MAKES A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL. RIGHT. YOU CAN RECOMMEND NO, AND THE COUNCIL WILL TAKE THAT UP. PROCESS WILL CONTINUE. IF THE ANSWER IS NO AND THERE'S ANOTHER APPLICATION MADE OR COUNCIL DIRECT STAFF TO INITIATE SOME LAND USE CHANGE, THEN THE PROCESS WOULD BEGIN AGAIN. I APPRECIATE THAT, BUT WHY CAN YOU NOT GIVE ME THIS INFORMATION NOW? I HAVE GIVEN YOU THE INFORMATION, I HAVE ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION. I BELIEVE I AGREE. SO WHAT I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE SAYING THEN IS A SCHOOL CANNOT BE ADDED TO THE INDUSTRIAL OR HOW THEY ARE CURRENTLY DESIGNATED. A SCHOOL CANNOT BE ADDED AS USED BY RIGHT. A SCHOOL COULD BE ADDED TO. THE ZONING DISTRICT AS A USE BY RIGHT IN THE ZONING DISTRICT. THAT'S NOT BEFORE YOU TONIGHT, RIGHT? WHAT'S BEFORE YOU? IS A LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT AND THE REZONING THAT THE APPLICANT AND STAFF HAVE BEEN REVIEWING THAT THEY BELIEVE ARE CONS? THE ZONING IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USE. THEY'RE THEY'RE APPLYING FOR. I UNDERSTAND THAT I'VE READ THE APPLICATION. THERE'S NO LAND USE ACTION FOR A SPECIFIC USE, SUCH AS A SCHOOL OR A RESTAURANT. ALL THOSE THINGS OCCUR IN ZONING.

THE ZONING CODE HAS A LIST OF USES AND SPECIAL EXCEPTION USES THAT ARE PERMITTED IN THE ZONING DISTRICT.

TO MY KNOWLEDGE, SCHOOLS ARE NOT PERMITTED IN INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICTS.

IF THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT SOMEONE PROPOSED, A TEXT CHANGE TO THE ZONING CODE TO ALLOW THAT, THEN THAT WOULD GO THROUGH THE PROCESS.

BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT'S BEFORE YOU. I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION. SO I JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM THEN WITH THE APPLICANT THAT YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO, AS PART OF OUR RECOMMENDATION TO PASS. THIS, WOULD BE TO SAY THAT YOU WOULD ONLY DO EACH PHASE OF CONSTRUCTION AS THE SOUTH ISLAND WAY IMPROVEMENTS WOULD ALLOW. WE'D BE OPEN TO WORKING WITH STAFF ON, HOWEVER IT IS WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD. OBVIOUSLY, FLORIDA LAW REQUIRES US TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT NEED TO HAPPEN ON THE ROAD. THERE'S LAW THAT ALLOWS US TO PAY FOR THOSE IMPROVEMENTS.

THERE'S LAWS THAT ALLOW US TO WORK WITH STAFF TO COMPLETE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS.

SO WE'RE OPEN TO COLLABORATION. WE'RE OPEN TO DISCUSSING, SAYING WHATEVER IT NEEDS TO BE TO MOVE THIS FORWARD. CONCERNS ON TRAFFIC, THEN LET'S LAY OUT ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE COST AND FIGURE OUT HOW WE MOVE FORWARD. NOW, YOU'VE OFFERED TO PAY FOR YOUR PROPORTIONATE SHARE, BUT WHAT IF YOU PAY FOR YOUR PORTION, BUT THEN ONE OR TWO OF THE OTHER PROPERTY OWNERS THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR THE RIGHT-OF-WAY DO NOT GIVE THAT EASEMENT? SO THEN WHAT HAPPENS

[01:55:02]

UNTIL WE GET UP TO ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE'RE BUILDING FOR, 1,200 STUDENTS. SO THAT WOULD TAKE 700 STUDENTS THAT ARE ALL IN THE MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL.

FROM THE DELAWARE CAMPUS AND PUT THEM OVER AT LEGACY. WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE REMAINING CAMPUS THERE, IT WOULD CONTINUE TO FUNCTION AS PART OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

THERE'S NO PLANS RIGHT NOW ON THE BOOKS FOR THE SCHOOL TO CONSTRUCT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THIS IS A BIG CAPITAL RAISE FOR THEM TO MOVE THIS MONEY FORWARD AND TO MOVE THIS FORWARD.

DIFFICULT TO PROGNOSTICATE OUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN THERE, BUT IT WOULD CERTAINLY BE DECOMPRESSING. AND RESOLVING A LOT OF OUTSTANDING TRAFFIC ISSUES AT THE CURRENT CAMPUS. DONALD BARNES, CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, JUPITER CHRISTIAN, I JUST WANT TO MAKE A POINT OF CLARIFICATION. PETE MISSPOKE A LITTLE BIT. WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE TRANSFERRING 125 ADDITIONAL STUDENTS FROM THE DELAWARE CAMPUS OVER. WE WOULD BE GROWING THE LEGACY CAMPUS BY 125. SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU GUYS ARE CLEAR ON THAT. THANK YOU, THAT MAKES SENSE. SO THE LEGACY CAMPUS WILL BE GROWING.

NOW, WILL, AT THE DELAWARE CAMPUS OR THE OTHER CAMPUS, PENNANT CAMPUS, WILL THEY BE GROWING AS WELL, OR WILL THEY BE DIMINISHING? AT, YOU KNOW, AS THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, HIGH SCHOOL, YOU KNOW, GETS DEVELOPED AT THE LEGACY PLACE? I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY PLANS TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PENNANT CAMPUS AT THIS POINT. THE LEGACY CAMPUS IS FOR... THE ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE, AND HIGH SCHOOL. SO AS MR. BARNES CORRECTED, WE WOULD BE MOVING AN INITIAL 700 STUDENTS OVER TO LEGACY, AND THEN WE WOULD GROW LEGACY BY 125 STUDENTS.

BUT WOULD YOU BE LOOKING TO REPLENISH THEN AT THE CAMPUS THAT YOU TOOK THE 700 FROM? I GUESS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO IS, WILL THE TRAFFIC THEN DIMINISH THERE AND INCREASE OVER AT THE LEGACY, OR WOULD THIS AT THE CURRENT CAMPUS? STAY BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO TRY TO GROW THAT BACK TO ITS FORMER NUMBERS WHILE YOU'RE INCREASING LEGACY. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS SCHOOL WOULD BE OPERATING TWO DIFFERENT MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS. AND I DON'T BELIEVE THE SCHOOL HAS PLANS TO, NOT THAT I AM AWARE OF, TO GROW THE NUMBERS OF THE CURRENT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT WOULD REMAIN AT THE DELAWARE CAMPUS. OKAY. THAT'S MY QUESTION. THANK YOU. OKAY. AT THIS TIME, DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC? YES, CHAIR, WE DO. WE HAVE QUITE A NUMBER OF COMMENT CARDS. SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO CALL THEM THREE AT A TIME.

YOU CAN STEP TO THE PODIUM, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND THEN WE'LL START OVER WITH THE NEXT THREE. SO IF I CAN, FIRST HAVE MS. JULIE KELLY, AND THEN BRITTANY FLESCH, AND THEN MR. DONALD BARNES. STEP UP SO WE'LL START WITH MISS JULIE KELLY. GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS JULIE KELLY. MY ADDRESS IS 208 MURRAY COURT IN JUPITER. YOU CAN MAKE YOUR COMMENT. I'M SO

[02:00:09]

WE ARE NOT STRANGERS IN THIS TOWN. WE ARE PART OF THE FABRIC. THE HISTORY OF OUR TOWN IS ALIVE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY OF JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL. THIS IS WHY LEGACY CAMPUS MATTERS TO ALL OF US HERE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS BRITTANY FLESCH. MY ADDRESS IS 3167 SOUTHWEST SUNSET TRACE CIRCLE, PALM CITY, FLORIDA.

GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION. MY NAME IS BRITTANY FLESCH, AND I SERVE AS MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL AT JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL. I STAND BEFORE YOU TONIGHT AS AN EDUCATOR, A SCHOOL LEADER, A WIFE, AND A MOM WHO CARES DEEPLY ABOUT THE KIND OF COMMUNITY WE ARE BUILDING FOR THE NEXT GENERATION. EVERY DAY I WORK WITH STUDENTS DURING ONE OF THE MOST FORMATIVE AND CRITICAL SEASONS OF THEIR LIVES. MIDDLE SCHOOL CAN BE TUMULTUOUS, YET IT IS ALSO A TIME WHERE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE DISCOVERING WHO THEY ARE, WHERE THEY BELONG, AND WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE THEY WANT TO BECOME.

DURING THESE YEARS, THEY BEGIN STEPPING INTO LEADERSHIP FOR THE FIRST TIME. SEEING AND SERVING OTHERS IN NEED, LEADING PEOPLE AND PROJECTS, AND DISCOVERING THE ABILITIES AND TALENTS THEY WILL CARRY INTO HIGH SCHOOL AND BEYOND.

IN MY ROLE, I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF WATCHING THAT TRANSFORMATION HAPPEN EVERY DAY. I'VE SEEN QUIET AND OFTEN INSECURE SIXTH GRADERS GROW INTO CONFIDENT YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN. BECAUSE OUR TEACHERS AND STAFF TOOK THE TIME TO INVEST IN THEM, NOT ONLY ACADEMICALLY, BUT PERSONALLY AND SPIRITUALLY.

IN FACT, THIS VERY WEEK, NEARLY 50 OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE SERVING THROUGH MISSION AND SERVICE INITIATIVES, BOTH LOCALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY. LEARNING FIRSTHAND WHAT IT MEANS TO CARE FOR OTHERS AND TO USE THEIR GIFTS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND IMPACT IN OUR WORLD. ONE THING I HAVE LEARNED AS AN EDUCATOR IS THIS, THE ENVIRONMENTS WE CREATE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE SHAPE THE LEADERS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS THEY BECOME. FOR MORE THAN 60 YEARS, JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL HAS BEEN PART OF THIS COMMUNITY, EDUCATING GENERATIONS OF STUDENTS WHO NOW SERVE AS PROFESSIONALS. BUSINESS OWNERS, PARENTS, AND VOLUNTEERS THROUGHOUT OUR REGION. SOME HAVE EVEN GONE ON TO SERVE IN POSITIONS OF PUBLIC LEADERSHIP, INCLUDING A GRADUATE WHO BECAME JUPITER'S CHIEF OF POLICE. I RECOGNIZE THAT YOUR ROLE REQUIRES THOUGHTFUL PLANNING AROUND TRAFFIC AND INFRASTRUCTURE AND RESPONSIBLE GROWTH, AND I RESPECT THE RESPONSIBILITY YOU CARRY IN ASSERTING THOSE DECISIONS TONIGHT. BUT OUR SCHOOLS ARE MORE THAN CLASSROOMS, MORE THAN BUILDINGS OR DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS. THEY ARE PLACES WHERE FUTURE CITIZENS ARE FORMED.

THE LEGACY CAMPUS PROJECT CONTINUES THAT INVESTMENT IN THE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO WILL ONE DAY LEAD, SERVE, AND STRENGTHEN THIS VERY COMMUNITY. THE STUDENTS SITTING IN OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL CLASSROOMS TODAY WILL BE THE TEACHERS, THE BUSINESS OWNERS, OUR NEIGHBORS, OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, AND CIVIC LEADERS LEADING THIS TOWN.

WHEN COMMUNITIES INVEST IN SPACES THAT HELP YOUNG PEOPLE GROW INTO CAPABLE, SERVICE-MINDED LEADERS. THEY INVEST IN THEIR OWN LONG-TERM STRENGTH. AND TONIGHT'S DECISION HELPS SHAPE THE KIND OF COMMUNITY THEY WILL LEAD TOMORROW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND FOR YOUR SERVICE. DONALD BARNES, 18787, SOUTHEAST RIVERAGE ROAD IN TEQUESTA. I'VE BEEN WORKING IN OR AROUND THE TOWN OF JUPITER FOR THE LAST 30-PLUS YEARS, PRIMARILY IN THE DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS.

ONE OF THE LAST, OR ONE OF THE PREVIOUS PROJECTS I DID HERE IN THE TOWN OF JUPITER WAS JUPITER COUNTRY CLUB. I JUST WANT TO SPEND A MINUTE OR TWO,

[02:05:01]

JUPITER CHRISTIAN HAS BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY WITH STAFF. THIS IS A BIG, COMPLICATED PROJECT. WE'RE ON A VERY SHORT TIME FRAME, A LOT OF STUFF TO GET DONE.

ADMITTEDLY, SOME THINGS GOT AHEAD OF SCHEDULE JUST BECAUSE, AGAIN, TIME FRAMES ARE VERY TIGHT FOR THE SCHOOL. IF WE DON'T MAKE AUGUST OF 28 FOR AN OPENING, WE DON'T GET TO GO TO SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER. THEN IT'S AUGUST OF 29, AND FINANCIALLY, THE SCHOOL CAN'T AFFORD TO DO THAT. IF WE PURCHASE THIS PROPERTY AND MISS OUR OPENING DATE, WE'RE GOING TO JEOPARDIZE A 63-YEAR-OLD INSTITUTION.

SO, AGAIN, I WOULDN'T SAY THAT THERE'S TENSION BETWEEN THE APPLICANT AND STAFF. IT'S JUST THERE'S A HEALTHY TENSION BECAUSE OF OUR TIME FRAME AND OUR NEED TO GET THINGS PUSHED THROUGH.

SO, THAT BEING SAID, I DID WANT TO JUST TOUCH ON THINGS THAT, JUST AS A REMINDER, WE ARE DEDICATING TWO AND A HALF ACRES FOR THE RIGHT-OF-WAY, AT GREAT EXPENSE, TO THE SCHOOL FOR ISLAND WAY. WE'VE OFFERED TO MANAGE THE CONSTRUCTION OF ISLAND WAY SOUTH AND HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN SPEAKING WITH YOUR DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS TO GET THAT NAILED DOWN. SO IT'S NOT COMPLETELY THEORETICAL. I MEAN, IT ISN'T CODIFIED YET, BUT WE ARE IN NEGOTIATIONS, SERIOUS NEGOTIATIONS WITH TOWN STAFF TO DOING THAT. THE WORKFORCE HOUSING COMPONENT, YOU KNOW, 100% OF THE UNITS ARE GOING TO BE WORKFORCE HOUSING. THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A MONEYMAKER FOR US.

THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE'RE DOING TO BENEFIT THE TOWN.

WE'RE GOING TO EFFECTIVELY MORE THAN DOUBLE YOUR CURRENT WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS, AND WE ARE GOING TO OPEN UP PRE-LEASING OPPORTUNITIES FOR TOWN STAFF. YOU KNOW, WE WANT OUR TEACHERS THERE. WE WANT YOUR FIREFIGHTERS THERE.

YOU KNOW, WE WANT YOUR POLICE OFFICERS THERE. WE WANT YOUR UTILITY WORKERS THERE. THAT IS A COMMUNITY. THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DEVELOP, AND WE WANT THAT TO BE PART OF OUR SCHOOL.

WE'RE WILLING TO DONATE THE 25-ACRE BLUEWAY CANAL TO THE TOWN. WE'RE GOING TO DONATE LAND FOR A WELL SITE.

I THINK IT WILL BE YOUR THIRD WELL SITE IN THIS PROXIMITY.

WE'RE LOOKING TO EXPAND OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE JTAA. THEY CURRENTLY USE OUR FACILITIES. WE'RE BUILDING A NEW GYMNASIUM.

THEY'RE DESPERATE. I'LL USE THE WORD DESPERATE FOR INDOOR SPACES. YOU KNOW, THEY WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO OUR GYMNASIUM AND THEN ALL OF OUR NEW ATHLETIC FACILITIES, LIKE THEY DO WITH THE OLD, YOU KNOW, FACILITIES. PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY'S MENTIONED THAT OR NOT, BUT THAT IS SHOWN ON THERE. THAT WOULD BE, I MEAN, DURING THE DAY. THAT WOULD BE USED FOR US AND OUR STUDENTS AND ENHANCING OUR LIBERAL ARTS, YOU KNOW, PROGRAM. BUT IN THE EVENING, IT WOULD ALSO BRING CULTURAL EVENTS, YOU KNOW, TO THE TOWN OF JUPITER. YOU KNOW, ELEVATED ROADWAYS FOR CRITTER CROSSINGS. AND THEN THERE'S ALSO, WE'RE ALSO EXPLORING A POTENTIAL PARTNERSHIP WITH PALM BEACH STATE COLLEGE ON THEIR CAREER AND TECHNICAL TRAINING BUILDING TO PROVIDE VOCATIONAL EDUCATION OPTIONS FOR KIDS. SO THANK YOU. MY TIME'S EXPIRED, BUT I DO WANT TO JUST CLOSE BY SAYING, WE ARE JUPITER, AND THESE ARE YOUR FAMILIES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT, IF WE CAN, HAVE WILSON ENRIQUEZ, THEN BRENT HOOD, AND THEN JOSIAH GUNN. WILSON ENRIQUEZ, 3382, HARBOR ROAD, SOUTH IN TEQUESTA. AND I JUST WANT TO OPEN UP BY SAYING, I MEAN, YES, JUPITER CHRISTIAN HAS BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 60 YEARS, WITH THE TOWN OF JUPITER HAVING RECENTLY CELEBRATED THEIR CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY. SO, TO SAY THE LEAST, BETWEEN J.CS AND TOWN OF JUPITER, WE'VE ESSENTIALLY GROWN UP TOGETHER.

THERE'S SO MANY THINGS THAT WE ARE CONSIDERING AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THIS PROJECT IN. HOW CAN WE CONTINUE TO PROVIDE VALUE IN THIS RELATIONSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH THE TOWN OF JUPITER. WHAT KIND OF TOWN BENEFITS? CAN WE CONTRIBUTE? AND THE ONE THAT I WANT TO ADDRESS TODAY IS THE PUBLIC BENEFIT IN A PROPOSED PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE JUPITER PARKS AND RECREATIONS, AS WELL AS USING A SHARED USE FACILITY AGREEMENT.

TO BE ABLE TO USE THE NUMBER OF DIFFERENT FIELDS THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE BUILDING. JUPITER HAS HAD A LACK OF INDOOR RECREATION SPACE AND RECREATION SPACE. I UNDERSTAND THAT IS A BIG NEED THE TOWN OF JUPITER IS LOOKING TO FILL AND WE WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO PARTNER UP WITH THE TOWN TO BE ABLE TO SERVE. THE RESIDENTS, AND NOT JUST THE TOWN OF JUPITER RESIDENTS, BUT THE TOWN OF JUPITER'S KIDS.

SO PRETTY SIMPLE.

DURING SCHOOL HOURS, THE CAMPUS WOULD SERVE OUR STUDENTS AFTER SCHOOL HOURS. WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE THE TOWN OF JUPITER RESIDENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN. SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO OBVIOUSLY HAVING CONTINUED CONVERSATIONS, HAVING ONE INVESTMENT WITH SHARED PUBLIC VALUE.

THANK YOU. BRENT HOOD, 2355, NORTHEAST OCEAN BOULEVARD.

FLORIDA. I USED TO LIVE IN JUPITER FARMS, SO I UNDERSTAND ABOUT TRAFFIC ON INDIANTOWN, AND I DON'T THINK IT'S EVER GOING TO BE PERFECT. WHAT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT IS HOW THE SCHOOL'S GOING TO BE BRINGING IN A 20,000-FOOT, BASICALLY A 20,000-SQUARE-FOOT TECH BUILDING.

TO HELP KIDS THAT DON'T WANT

[02:10:01]

ANOTHER ONE IS GOING TO SCHOOL. SCHOOL TO BE A VETERINARIAN, AND MY SON, WHO GRADUATED LAST YEAR, WANTS TO BECOME AN HVAC. EACH WHAT THEY WANT TO DO, EACH HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY.

JUPITER CHRISTIAN DIDN'T HAVE THE TECH ABILITY BECAUSE THERE'S NO SPACE. THIS NEW FACILITY WILL ALLOW US TO BE ABLE TO DO MORE FOR KIDS. MY KIDS ALSO WENT TO JUPITER CHRISTIAN BECAUSE THEY HAD A VERY GOOD LEARNING SERVICES PROGRAM. MY SON HAS ASPERGER'S. MY DAUGHTER, WHO'S GOING TO BE A VETERINARIAN, HAS...

DYSLEXIA AND DYSGRAPHIA, THEY ALL WERE SUCCEEDING BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED IN JUPITER CHRISTIAN. WHAT YOU HAVE TO DECIDE IS, YES, WE HAVE TRAFFIC, WE HAVE LAND USE. A LOT OF WHAT WE HAVE TO DECIDE IS, DO WE HAVE FAITH THAT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT THERE IS GOING TO DO WHAT WE NEED IT TO DO? DO WE WANT TO LEAVE INDUSTRIAL FOR SOMETHING THAT HASN'T BEEN BUILT YET? OR FOR SOMETHING WE KNOW WE NEED, WHICH IS NEW SCHOOLS? YOU HAVE 500 FAMILIES THAT REPRESENT THOSE 700 KIDS THAT WANT TO COME TO THAT SCHOOL. 500 FAMILIES THAT ARE LOOKING FOR GOOD EDUCATION. WHAT I SEE IS, YES, YOU DO HAVE TRAFFIC ISSUES.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TRAFFIC ISSUES NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO.

BUT TRAFFIC WITH SCHOOLS, AT LEAST YOU HAVE FOUR MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR WHERE THEY'RE NOT THERE. I MEAN, WE ALL KNOW WHEN YOU DRIVE DOWN ANYTOWN ROAD AND IT'S SUMMER OR SPRING BREAK, WE'RE HAPPY, RIGHT? YOU DON'T HAVE THAT WITH INDUSTRIAL. THEY'RE THERE EVERY TIME, EVERY DAY. SO ALL I'VE GOT TO SAY IS... WHAT JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL DID FOR MY KIDS, THIS IS THE FIRST TOWN HALL MEETING I'VE EVER BEEN TO, AND THAT'S WHY. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, CHELSEA, GUNN, 145, BONNET HUNT CLUB LANE, PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA, 33418. WELL, GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS CHELSEA GUNN, AND I'VE HAD THE HONOR AND PRIVILEGE OF SERVING AS OUR CHIEF ADVANCEMENT OFFICER AT JCS NOW FOR ALMOST A DECADE. I'VE SERVED THIS COMMUNITY AND THIS SCHOOL FAITHFULLY, AND THIS PROJECT REPRESENTS SO MUCH MORE THAN BLUEPRINTS AND A NEW BUILDING. IT REPRESENTS YOUR FUTURE LEADERS, WORLD CHANGERS, EDUCATORS, AND IMPACTFUL SOCIETY MEMBERS HERE IN THE TOWN OF JUPITER. I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE ON ONE THING, THAT PEOPLE ARE SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN TRAFFIC ISSUES AND NEW BUILDINGS. THEY ARE TRULY THE FUTURE OF AMERICA. SO WE ASK YOU TO RESPECTFULLY, JOIN US IN CONSIDERATION FOR THIS EXPANSION. THAT WILL HAVE A TREMENDOUS IMPACT FOR THE FUTURE OF THIS TOWN THAT SO MANY OF US CALL HOME, WHICH IS JUPITER. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

NEXT, IF I CAN HAVE REBECCA HANSEN, RICHARD CAREY, AND CAITLIN FARMER TO THE PODIUM, PLEASE. GOOD EVENING. REBECCA HANSEN, ADDRESS IS 17770, 116TH STREET NORTH, JUPITER, FLORIDA. GOOD EVENING, AND THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOU TONIGHT. AS MENTIONED, I'M REBECCA HANSEN.

I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF HR AT JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL. MY ROLE FOCUSES ON THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE COMMUNITY FUNCTION EVERY DAY. OUR TEACHERS, OUR STAFF. OUR FAMILIES, AND MANY COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHO WE SUPPORT AND HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT THIS EVENING. ONE THING I SEE CONSISTENTLY IS THAT THE PEOPLE ARE NOT ONLY DRAWN TO THE PROFESSION, BUT THEY'RE DRAWN TO OUR MISSION. AS A PARENT OF TWO SMALL CHILDREN WHO ARE AT JCS, I SEE THE JOY THAT THEY BRING HOME EVERY NIGHT FROM THE EDUCATION THEY'RE RECEIVING.

AS A PROFESSIONAL, I ALSO GET TO SEE THAT SAME IMPACT IN THEIR LIVES.

OF THE MANY FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY. THOUGHTFUL GROWTH IS IMPORTANT FOR THE LONGEVITY AND LONG-TERM HEALTH OF ANY COMMUNITY. SCHOOLS ARE NOT ONLY PLACES WHERE CHILDREN LEARN. THEY ARE ALSO WORKPLACES, THEIR COMMUNITY HUBS, THEIR SUPPORT SYSTEMS FOR THE FAMILIES WHO LIVE AND SERVE HERE. THIS DEVELOPMENT REPRESENTS AN INVESTMENT IN THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE AND WORK IN THIS AREA. IT ALLOWS US TO CONTINUE ATTRACTING AND RETAINING HIGH QUALITY EDUCATORS AND STAFF, WHILE ALSO SUPPORTING THE FAMILIES OF OUR LOCAL PROFESSIONALS.

WHO WE'VE DISCUSSED, RIGHT? THOSE ARE OUR HOSPITAL WORKERS, FIRST RESPONDERS, JPD, AND THE FUTURE OF OUR FIREMEN. HERE AT JUPITER, STRONG COMMUNITIES ARE BUILT WHEN SCHOOLS, PUBLIC

[02:15:01]

OUR GOAL IS TO CONTINUE BEING A POSITIVE PARTNER, SUPPORTING EDUCATION, LOCAL EMPLOYMENT, AND A BROADER COMMUNITY THAT KEEPS JUPITER THRIVING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS CAITLIN FARMER, AND I'M A LONGTIME JUPITER RESIDENT. WE ARE A FIRE RESCUE FAMILY, A JTAA FAMILY, AND OUR CHILDREN LOVE HAVING JUPITER AS THEIR HOMETOWN. I HAVE THE HONOR OF SERVING AS THE CFO OF JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL. IT IS BECAUSE OF JUPITER CHRISTIAN'S COMMITMENT TO ACCESSIBILITY THAT WE ARE ONE OF THE MANY FIRST RESPONDER FAMILIES IN OUR TOWN THAT GET TO SEND THEIR KIDS TO THIS SCHOOL. AS THE CFO, I SERVE ON OUR FINANCIAL AID COMMITTEE.

WHERE ACCESSIBILITY AND A HEART FOR THE JUPITER COMMUNITY RESULTS IN NEARLY $3 MILLION A YEAR IN SCHOLARSHIPS AND TUITION REMISSION. JUPITER CHRISTIAN OFFERS INCOME-BASED FINANCIAL AID, SCHOLARSHIPS FOR STUDENTS WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES, AND MERIT-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS.

WE OFFER SCHOLARSHIPS TO FAMILIES FROM THE JUPITER POLICE DEPARTMENT. WE OFFER SCHOLARSHIPS TO CHILDREN FROM PLACE OF HOPE AND OTHER CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE AND HARDSHIP.

EVERY FACULTY AND STAFF MEMBER EMPLOYED BY JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL GETS TUITION REMISSION FOR THEIR ENROLLED CHILDREN.

WE TAKE PRIDE IN OPENING OUR DOORS TO FAMILIES THAT NEED A SAFE PLACE TO LAND, FOR PARENTS LIKE ME, WHO JUST WANT THEIR KIDS TO BE SEEN, KNOWN, AND LOVED.

IN ADDITION TO INTERNAL SCHOLARSHIPS, THAT WE PROVIDE, 95% OF FAMILIES ATTENDING JUPITER CHRISTIAN USE STEP UP SCHOLARSHIP FROM STATE OF FLORIDA TO HELP SEND THEIR KIDS TO OUR SCHOOL. THERE ARE OVER 10,000 KIDS IN JUPITER GOING TO AND FROM PUBLIC SCHOOL EACH MORNING. OUR FUTURE CAMPUS IS NOT ADDING TO THE POPULATION DENSITY OR TRAFFIC COMING TO JUPITER, IT'S SIMPLY OPENING THE DOOR FOR RESIDENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY TO GET THE EDUCATION AND SCHOOL CHOICE THEY WANT IN OUR TOWN. JCS HAS BEEN IN THIS COMMUNITY WITH YOU FOR OVER SIXTY YEARS. WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO SINCERELY ASK YOU TO HELP KEEP THE DOORS OPEN FOR JUPITER RESIDENTS TO ATTEND JCS FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. THANK YOU. RICHARD CAREY, 1700, PARK LANE SOUTH, JUPITER. GOOD EVENING. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE JUPITER COMMERCE PARK. THE JUPITER COMMERCE PARK IS A 99-ACRE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS PARK.

LOCATED IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF THE HAWKEYE PROPERTY, JUPITER COMMERCE PARK IS HOME TO OVER 250 BUSINESSES, EMPLOYING APPROXIMATELY 1,500 PEOPLE. OUR BUSINESSES ARE SUBSTANTIAL CONTRIBUTORS TO THE JUPITER ECONOMY AND ITS TAX BASE. UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT PEAK PERIOD TRAFFIC ISSUE. ALL ACCESS TO THE COMMERCE PARK IS THROUGH A SINGLE POINT OF ENTRY VIA JUPITER PARK DRIVE. MOST OF OUR TRAFFIC TRANSITS NORTH ON CENTRAL AVENUE AND WEST ON INDIANTOWN ROAD TO GAIN ACCESS TO I-95 AND THE TURNPIKE. THIS CREATES PEAK PERIOD BACKUPS AT THE INTERSECTION OF JUPITER PARK DRIVE AND CENTRAL AVENUE, CENTRAL AVENUE AND INDIANTOWN ROAD, AND ON INDIANTOWN ROAD. BETWEEN CENTRAL AND I-95. WHILE IT IS ASSUMED THAT THE ADDITION OF ISLAND WAY WILL PROVIDE US WITH DIRECT ACCESS TO INDIANTOWN ROAD, WE BELIEVE THAT IT IS EQUALLY LIKELY THAT THE POINT OF CONGESTION WILL ONLY SHIFT TO THE TWO NEW ISLAND WAY INTERSECTIONS AT JUPITER PARK DRIVE AND AT INDIANTOWN ROAD AND ISLAND WAY APPLICANT'S TRAFFIC ENGINEER WILL SUGGEST THAT SCHOOL TRAFFIC AND AND THE COMMERCE PARK TRAFFIC WILL BE AT DIFFERENT PEAK PERIODS.

HOWEVER, MANY OF THE BUSINESSES IN THE INDUSTRIAL PARK BEGIN THEIR BUSINESS AT 6 AND 7 A.M. AND COMPLETE THEIR DAYS BY MID-AFTERNOON.

FURTHERMORE, THE APPLICANT'S TRAFFIC STUDY PROJECTS 43% OF THE SCHOOL'S TRAFFIC WILL TRANSIT ON SINGLE-LANE JUPITER PARK DRIVE, FURTHER COMPOUNDING THE CONGESTION. WE BELIEVE THAT THE TOWN OF JUPITER WOULD BE BETTER SERVED TO HAVE THE HAWKEYE PROPERTY REMAIN AT ITS CURRENT DESIGNATED LAND USE AND ZONING FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS. IT PROVIDES NEEDED BUSINESS AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL SPACE TO SUPPORT EASTERN JUPITER. IT WILL EXPAND JUPITER'S ECONOMIC AND TAX BASE, AND IT IS MORE COMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES

[02:20:02]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU.

NEXT, IF WE CAN HAVE MR. SEAN TUFEL, PAUL MORTON, AND NATHAN SMITH, PLEASE. GOOD EVENING, SEAN TUFFLE, 1058 VINTNER BOULEVARD, PALM BEACH GARDENS. GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS SEAN TUFFLE. I'M A PROUD ALUMNI OF JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL. AS BOTH A PARENT AND A BUSINESS OWNER IN THIS COMMUNITY, I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE LONG-TERM FUTURE OF JUPITER AND THE OPPORTUNITIES WE CREATE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION. I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF EXPERIENCING FIRSTHAND THE IMPACT THE SCHOOL HAS HAD OR CAN HAVE, ON A YOUNG PERSON'S LIFE.

DURING MY TIME THERE, THE CULTURE OF LEADERSHIP, PERSONAL GROWTH, AND CHARACTER BUILDING SHAPED THE WAY I APPROACHED ACADEMICS AND ATHLETICS. THAT FOUNDATION ULTIMATELY HELPED ME REACH THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF MY SPORT, PLAYING PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL FOR SIX YEARS WITH THE DETROIT TIGERS AND THE NEW YORK METS. AFTER MY BASEBALL CAREER, THOSE SAME VALUES GUIDED ME IN EARNING MY MASTER'S DEGREE AND BUILDING MY OWN PRIVATE WEALTH MANAGEMENT FIRM. TODAY, THAT IMPACT HAS COME FULL CIRCLE FOR MY FAMILY. AS I NOW HAVE THREE DAUGHTERS ATTENDING JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL. I AM ALSO ONE OF MANY ALUMNI WHO VALUED OUR EXPERIENCE SO DEEPLY THAT WE'VE CHOSEN TO RAISE OUR FAMILIES HERE AND SEND OUR CHILDREN TO THE SAME SCHOOL.

THAT HELPED SHAPE US. JUPITER CHRISTIAN HAS LONG BEEN AN IMPORTANT PART OF THIS COMMUNITY. IT'S KNOWN NOT ONLY FOR STRONG ACADEMICS AND ATHLETICS, BUT FOR DEVELOPING STUDENTS OF CHARACTER, YOUNG PEOPLE WHO LEAD WITH INTEGRITY, SERVE OTHERS, AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. MANY GRADUATES HAVE GONE ON TO BECOME PROFESSIONALS AND BUSINESS OWNERS THROUGHOUT OUR REGION. AND MANY OF US STAY CONNECTED BY MENTORING STUDENTS AND OFFERING INTERNSHIPS THROUGH OUR BUSINESSES. THAT KIND OF RELATIONSHIP CREATES A POWERFUL CYCLE WHERE STUDENTS GROW UP, SUCCEED, AND COME BACK TO INVEST IN THE NEXT GENERATION. THE PROPOSED CAMPUS REPRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE THAT LEGACY WHILE MEETING THE NEEDS OF A GROWING COMMUNITY.

BY EXPANDING ITS CAPACITY TO SERVE NEARLY TWICE AS MANY STUDENTS, JUPITER CHRISTIAN WILL BE ABLE TO OFFER MORE FAMILY ACCESS TO VALUED-BASED EDUCATION.

STRONG SCHOOLS STRENGTHEN COMMUNITIES. THEY HELP DEVELOP FUTURE LEADERS, SUPPORT LOCAL FAMILIES, AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE LONG-TERM VITALITY OF A TOWN. SUPPORTING THIS PROJECT ISN'T JUST ABOUT BUILDING A NEW CAMPUS.

IT'S ABOUT INVESTING IN THE FUTURE. LEADERS OF JUPITER, INCLUDING MY OWN THREE DAUGHTERS, AND THE MANY CHILDREN WHO WILL ONE DAY CALL THIS COMMUNITY HOME. THANK YOU.

I'M NATHAN SMITH. I LIVE AT 17414 WILDWOOD ROAD IN JUPITER. I'M THE DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS AT JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL. GOOD EVENING NEIGHBORS AND COMMISSION MEMBERS. THANK YOU FOR COMING TOGETHER TO TALK ABOUT A SUBJECT THAT TOUCHES EVERY CORNER OF OUR COMMUNITY, THE FUTURE OF OUR LEGACY CAMPUS. TODAY, I WANT TO SHARE A CLEAR, PRACTICAL VISION FOR OUR STRATEGIC CAMPUS PLANNING, ONE THAT ENSURES OUR FACILITY NOT ONLY MEETS CURRENT NEEDS, BUT PROPELS US FORWARD AS AN EDUCATIONAL LEADER. FIRST, OUR STUDENTS AND FACULTY NEED FACILITIES THAT MATCH THE DEMANDS OF MODERN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. CLASSROOMS, LABS, AND WORKSPACES BUILT WITH MODERN TECHNOLOGY AND LEARNING SPACE STANDARDS. HANDS-ON LEARNING, HYBRID INSTRUCTION, AND INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIP. AS WE PLAN, WE WILL ALIGN PHYSICAL SPACE WITH OUR CIRCULAR GOALS SO THAT LEARNING AND INFRASTRUCTURE CAN WORK TOGETHER. THAT MEANS FLEXIBLE CLASSROOMS THAT SUPPORT ACTIVE LEARNING AND LABS DESIGNED WITH MODERN TECHNOLOGIES. AND SUPPORT SPACES THAT LET OUR FACULTY FOCUS ON TEACHING AND STUDENT LEARNING. WHEN OUR BUILDING REFLECTS HOW WE TEACH, OUR STUDENTS' OUTCOMES IMPROVE, FACULTY RETENTION STRENGTHENS, AND OUR INSTITUTION BECOMES MORE COMPETITIVE AND RELEVANT.

OUR APPROACH IS TO BUILD AROUND A LONG-TERM GROWTH IN OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY.

THOUGHTFUL PLANNING BALANCES OUR IMMEDIATE NEEDS WITH A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE, CAREFUL SITE USE, ENERGY EFFICIENCY SYSTEMS, AND ADAPTABLE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT REDUCES OUR LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONAL COSTS.

BY INVESTING STRATEGICALLY NOW, WE LIMIT EXPENSIVE PIECEMEAL FIXES LATER. THIS INCLUDES CAREFUL SEQUENCING OF OUR PROJECT, COORDINATING OUR UTILITIES AND TRANSPORTATION PLANNING, AND USING DATA-DRIVEN FORECASTING.

SO OUR CAPACITY GROWS WITH

[02:25:02]

WITHOUT A WASTE OR DISRUPTION.

AS WE MOVE FORWARD, TRANSPARENCY AND COMMUNITY INPUT WILL GUIDE EVERY STEP.

WE WILL SHARE DATA, TIMELINES, AND BUDGET PRIORITIES. WE WILL LISTEN TO FACULTY AND STUDENTS ABOUT PROGRAM NEEDS, AND WE WILL ENGAGE OUR NEIGHBORS ABOUT TRAFFIC, GREEN SPACE, AND SHARED BENEFITS.

STRATEGIC CAMPUS PLANNING IS NOT A PLAN FOR ADMINISTRATORS ALONE. IT'S A ROADMAP CO-CREATED WITH EVERYONE WHO USES AND CARES ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY.

IN CLOSING, BY ENSURING OUR FACILITY, OUR FACILITIES MATCH MODERN PROGRAMS, BY CREATING SPACES FOR INNOVATION, AND BY PLANNING FOR EFFICIENT, SUSTAINABLE GROWTH. WE ARE INVESTING IN BETTER OUTCOMES FOR OUR STUDENTS, FOR OUR FACULTY AND OUR WHOLE COMMUNITY. I LOOK FORWARD TO ADVANCING THIS PROJECT WITH ALL OF YOU AND DESIGNING A CAMPUS READY TO MEET THE OPPORTUNITIES AHEAD. THANK YOU.

OKAY, NEXT, IF WE CAN, HAVE CHRIS DYER, WENDY BROWN, AND LISA CHITTY. MY NAME IS CHRIS DYER. MY ADDRESS IS 2503 MONACO TERRACE, PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA. HELLO? I'M CHRIS DYER AND I'M A LOCAL REAL ESTATE BROKER AT A COMPANY CALLED EDSTONE REALTY HERE IN PALM BEACH GARDENS. I'VE BEEN A STAKEHOLDER IN THIS COMMUNITY FOR 15 YEARS AND I'VE BEEN PART OF THE JUPITER CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY. AS A BOARD MEMBER.

NOW AND AS A PROUD PARENT OF TWO GRADUATES, AND I'M HERE TO SUPPORT THE JUPITER CHRISTIAN LEGACY CAMPUS PROJECT.

BUT I SPECIFICALLY WANTED TO SPEAK ABOUT THE WORKFORCE HOUSING COMPONENT OF THIS PROJECT. HOUSING AFFORDABILITY IS A SERIOUS ISSUE IN NORTHERN PALM BEACH COUNTY. MANY MIDDLE-INCOME WORKERS STRUGGLE TO LIVE HERE, WHERE THEY WORK. MANY TEACHERS, FIREFIGHTERS, POLICE OFFICERS, NURSES, AND SERVICE WORKERS EMPLOYED IN JUPITER CANNOT AFFORD TO LIVE HERE, SO THEY OFTEN COMMUTE FROM AREAS LIKE RIVIERA BEACH, LAKE WORTH, WEST PALM, PORT ST. LUCIE, AND BEYOND.

THIS WORKFORCE HOUSING GAP IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST HOUSING ISSUES IN PALM BEACH COUNTY RIGHT NOW.

THE NUMBER OF WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS IN JUPITER IS RELATIVELY SMALL, AND MOST OF THEM ARE CONCENTRATED IN JUST A FEW DEVELOPMENTS.

FROM MY RESEARCH, THE CURRENT WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS ARE FOUND IN, YOU GOT BARCELONA, THAT HAS 75 WORKING HOUSING UNITS, THE CENTER AT ABACOA, SIX WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS, AND DAKOTA APARTMENTS HAS SIX WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS.

THAT'S LESS THAN 100, 87, TO BE EXACT. THIS PROJECT IS BEING PROPOSED IS 100% WORKFORCE HOUSING. VERSUS THE REQUIRED 12%. THIS WOULD EQUATE TO APPROXIMATELY 92 UNITS INSTEAD OF THE 11 THAT WOULD BE COMING ONLINE IN JUPITER. THIS PROJECT WOULD DOUBLE THE AVAILABLE WORKHOUSE UNITS IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS. AND I UNDERSTAND NOW FROM MR. BARNES THAT HE'S SURE THAT JUPITER CHRISTIAN WOULD BE PRE-LEASING UNITS TO THE TOWN OF JUPITER EMPLOYEES. SO IN LIFE, I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE TENSIONS TO MANAGE AND WE HAVE TENSIONS TO SOLVE. I BELIEVE THIS COMMISSION AND JUPITER CHRISTIAN HAVE THE ABILITY TO SOLVE A HOUSING TENSION FOR DESERVING RECIPIENTS OF WORKFORCE HOUSING. LET'S NOT MANAGE THIS TENSION. LET'S SOLVE IT. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR HOMETOWN HEROES.IN THIS PROJECT GOING FORWARD. THANK YOU. HI, MY NAME IS WENDY BROWN, 120, COCOA LANE, JUPITER. I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF SERVING AS THE ELEMENTARY PRINCIPAL AT JUPITER CHRISTIAN. I HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT OF JUPITER FOR 23 YEARS AND HAVE WORKED IN EDUCATION, BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE, FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS. I FIRST JOINED JUPITER CHRISTIAN AS A CLASSROOM TEACHER, AND I AM ALSO A GRATEFUL PARENT OF TWO J.C.S. STUDENTS.

STUDENTS. MY OLDEST GRADUATED LAST YEAR WITH 57 COLLEGE CREDITS EARNED THROUGH JCS'S DUAL ENROLLMENT AND AP OFFERINGS. I ALSO HAVE A FRESHMAN WHO IS PART OF OUR MEDICAL PATHWAY PROGRAM, WANTING TO STUDY VETERINARY MEDICATION, MEDICATION, MEDICINE. BOTH OF MY CHILDREN BEGAN THEIR ACADEMIC JOURNEYS IN OUR LOCAL JUPITER PUBLIC SCHOOLS, WHERE WE HAD A TRULY GREAT EXPERIENCE. THEY HAD TEACHERS WHO DEEPLY CARED FOR THEM AND WERE GRATEFUL FOR THE FOUNDATION THAT THEY RECEIVED THERE.

BUT AS OUR CHILDREN GREW OLDER, WE RECOGNIZED THAT THEY NEEDED A SMALLER ENVIRONMENT, ONE IN WHICH THEIR SPIRITUAL FORMATION COULD BE NURTURED ALONGSIDE STRONG ACADEMICS. AND JUPITER CHRISTIAN PROVIDED EXACTLY THAT. MY ANXIOUS, AWKWARD 10-YEAR-OLD GREW INTO A CONFIDENT LEADER WHO KNOWS WHO

[02:30:01]

HAVING BEEN A PART OF JCS FOR NINE YEARS NOW, THERE IS NO OTHER PLACE I WOULD RATHER LEAD AS AN EDUCATOR. THE ELEMENTARY THAT I LEAD IS A COMMUNITY WHERE FAITH AND LEARNING ARE INTENTIONALLY INTERTWINED, WHERE EVERY CHILD IS KNOWN BY NAME, AND WHERE STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO GROW. NOT JUST IN KNOWLEDGE, BUT IN CHARACTER AND PURPOSE. THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND OUR CAMPUS WILL ALLOW FOR MORE FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY TO ACCESS THAT KIND OF EDUCATION AND SUPPORT. AND IT WILL GIVE CHILDREN A PLACE TO BE CHALLENGED NOT JUST ACADEMICALLY, BUT LOVED AND SUPPORTED RELATIONALLY AND GUIDED FAITHFULLY. I'M CONFIDENT THAT THE LEGACY LEGACY CAMPUS WILL STRENGTHEN NOT ONLY JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL, BUT OUR BROADER JUPITER COMMUNITY AS WELL.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION AND WHAT THIS OPPORTUNITY MEANS TO THE FUTURE OF OUR TOWN.

HELLO, I'M LISA CHITTY 19216.

PINE TREE DRIVE, JUPITER. I'M HERE TODAY AS A MOTHER, A GRANDMOTHER, A EDUCATOR, AND A FOSTER PARENT. SO, SO MANY THINGS WRAPPED INTO ONE, BUT MOST IMPORTANT, AS AN EDUCATOR IN THIS COMMUNITY, I'VE BEEN HERE ALMOST 45 YEARS.

I STOOD IN A ROOM SIMILAR TO THIS BESIDE MARY HINTON, WHO WAS A FORMER MAYOR OF JUPITER, WHO STARTED MY CAREER AS AN EDUCATOR. I WORKED ALONGSIDE HER. SHE MENTORED ME FOR YEARS. GOD REST HER SOUL.

BUT IT HAS BEEN A JOURNEY OF BEING PART OF THE EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITY IN JUPITER. WORKING FOR HER FOR 20 YEARS.

AFTER THAT TIME, I WORKED FOR A SEASON OF ALTERNATIVE AND SPECIAL EDUCATION WITH A NATIONAL COMPANY, TRYING TO MAKE SURE CHILDREN EARNED A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA.

THAT BECAME A REAL PASSION FOR ME. I CAME BACK TO JUPITER AND WAS ASKED TO START THE EAST CAMPUS, WORKING ONCE AGAIN WITH THE TOWN OF JUPITER TO GET THE EAST CAMPUS. OPENED ON PENNOCK LANE IN 2018. IT WAS A GREAT DAY, AND WE TRUSTED GOD IN EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED THAT DAY, BECAUSE WE GOT A CHILD CARE LICENSE, A SCHOOL LICENSE, AND A FOOD LICENSE. THE THREE O'CLOCK, THE DAY BEFORE SCHOOL WAS TO OPEN, WE KNEW THAT WAS THE PLAN. AND I STAND HERE TODAY AS A GRANDPARENT AS WELL, BECAUSE MY EDUCATION FOR MY FOUR SONS WAS IMPORTANT.

BUT GRANDCHILDREN, THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL. I HAVE THREE GRANDDAUGHTERS WHO LOVE THE FINE ARTS. THEY LOVE TO DANCE AND SING AND ACT. AND WE WILL HAVE THAT IN THIS NEW CAMPUS AND FINE ARTS FACILITY.

WHAT A GREAT PLACE FOR KIDS TO GROW AND LEARN. SO IT'S JUST BEEN AN HONOR AND A PRIVILEGE TO BE PART OF JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL, AND I JUST ASK YOU TO RESPECTFULLY ENCOURAGE THIS COMMISSION TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF THIS PROJECT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. NEXT, IF WE CAN, HAVE JEFF VISTOLA, KIMBERLY LAGOU, JULIANA ZACCARARA, AND SUSAN MURPHY. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE, I'M JEFF VASTOLA, 18751, SOUTHEAST RIVER RIDGE ROAD IN TEQUESTA, FLORIDA.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THIS EXPANSION PROJECT. I'M HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE I'VE SEEN FIRSTHAND THE BENEFITS THAT JUPITER CHRISTIAN PROVIDES, NOT JUST TO THE KIDS THAT ARE AT THE SCHOOL, BUT TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.

YOU'VE HEARD A LOT TONIGHT ABOUT HOW THE KIDS WILL COME BACK, AND THEY DO. AND WHEN THE KIDS COME BACK, THEY'RE MAKING OUR COMMUNITY A BETTER PLACE.

BY EXPANSION, THE SCHOOL IS GOING TO INCREASE ITS ABILITY TO PROVIDE SERVICES NOT JUST TO MORE KIDS, BUT ALSO TO THE COMMUNITY. YOU'LL HAVE EVEN MORE KIDS COMING BACK. WE ALL KNOW IT'S GROWING AROUND HERE DENSITY-WISE, UNFORTUNATELY. THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO TO STOP THAT, BUT LET'S MAKE THE MOST OF IT. OUR FAMILY BECAME A PART OF JUPITER CHRISTIAN WHEN OUR DAUGHTER BEGAN ATTENDING BACK IN 2009 IN PRE-K-4. SHE HAS SINCE GRADUATED. SHE'S IN HER THIRD YEAR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA. OUR SON, LUCA, STARTED PRE-K-3 ON THE EAST CAMPUS WITH PRINCIPAL KITTY. HE'S CURRENTLY IN THE EIGHTH GRADE. HE'S THRIVING. HE ENJOYS ALL THE SPORTS THAT THE SCHOOL OFFERS TO THEM.

BUT THE SCHOOL IS LIMITED IN WHAT IT CAN OFFER. ATHLETIC WISE. AND THIS EXPANSION IS GOING TO GIVE THE KIDS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY ADDITIONAL SPORTS, HAVE FOOTBALL GAMES AT HOME.

AS OPPOSED TO HAVING TO USE THE JUPITER HIGH SCHOOL FACILITY. AND IF YOU'RE NOT AWARE, THE JUPITER HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM WON ITS SECOND STATE CHAMPIONSHIP. ALTHOUGH OUR CHILDREN'S STORIES ARE STILL BEING WRITTEN, I AND MY WIFE, WE HAVE SEEN THE INFLUENCE.

THAT A LOVING AND NURTURING ENVIRONMENT THAT JUPITER

[02:35:01]

THEIR FAMILIES ARE GOING TO BE HERE. THEY'RE GOING TO RAISE THEIR KIDS HERE. AND WE PRAY THAT JUPITER CHRISTIAN WILL BE A FOUNDATION UPON WHICH ALL OF THAT CAN BE BUILT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS KIMBERLY WEBB-LEGOUX, AND I AM THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, A PARTNER, AND A GENERAL CONTRACTOR FOR WEBB BUILDERS. MY FAMILY OWNS AND OPERATES OUR BUSINESS AT 225 EAST INDIAN TOWN ROAD IN JUPITER. IF YOU'VE EVER CUT THROUGH OUR PARKING LOT TO GET TO STARBUCKS, THEN YOU ALREADY KNOW EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE. AND YOU COULD SAY I HAVE A LITTLE FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE WITH TRAFFIC IN OUR COMMUNITY.

IN ADDITION TO MY ROLE AT WEB BUILDERS, I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF SERVING AS A PARENT AND VOLUNTEER AT JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL FOR 13 YEARS, AND I'M ALSO A LONGTIME RESIDENT OF BOTH JUPITER AND TEQUESTA. MY CONNECTION TO THIS COMMUNITY RUNS DEEP.

MY FAMILY MOVED TO JUPITER FARMS WHEN I WAS SEVEN, AND OVER THE YEARS, I'VE WATCHED OUR TOWN GROW FROM THE QUIET FISHING VILLAGE INTO THE VIBRANT, BEAUTIFUL PLACE WE ALL CHERISH TODAY.

THOUGH, I'M NOT. QUITE AS OLD AS JUPITER CHRISTIAN ITSELF, I'VE HAD THE JOY OF CELEBRATING WITH MANY OF THE SCHOOL'S GRADUATES AS THEY'VE GONE ON TO BECOME OUR AREA'S LEADERS, BUSINESS OWNERS, AND SKILLED TRADESPEOPLE. AT WEBBUILDERS, WE'VE PROUDLY HIRED SEVERAL JCS GRADUATES AND THEIR PARENTS AS EMPLOYEES, SUBCONTRACTORS, ENGINEERS, SUPPLIERS, AND WE OPERATE A BUDGET AS LARGE AS JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL AT WHAT WE DO. ONE GRADUATE SHARED DURING A RETWEET OF THE PAST.

DURING HIS INTERVIEW THAT HE CHOSE THE TRADES BECAUSE HE WANTED TO PURSUE A REWARDING, HIGH PAYING CAREER WITHOUT THE BURDEN OF STUDENT DEBT. TODAY, HE'S AN EXCEPTIONAL MEMBER OF OUR TEAM, HE'S PROFESSIONAL, HE'S ARTICULATE, AND HE'S ADMIRED BY OUR STUDENTS AND TEAMMATES THANKS TO THE EDUCATION HE RECEIVED FROM JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL. WE'VE ALSO WELCOMED MANY MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT LEADERS INTO OUR OFFICE TO HELP THEM SEE HOW THEIR TALENTS CAN SHAPE THEIR FUTURE, SOMETIMES A LITTLE BIT OUTSIDE THE BOX OF WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLE.

I TREASURE THESE THANK YOU NOTES THAT I RECEIVED FROM THEM. ONE STUDENT WROTE, THANK YOU FOR LETTING US COME SEE YOUR AWESOME BUSINESS. I HOPE TO COME AND PROBABLY WORK FOR WEB BUILDERS SOMEDAY. SHE LATER TOLD ME SHE WANTED TO BE AN ARCHITECT. ANOTHER YOUNG LADY THANKED ME FOR SHOWING HER WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO BE A STRONG WOMAN IN LEADERSHIP AND CONSTRUCTION.

THESE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE OUR FUTURE. THEY'RE AIMING HIGH, THEY'RE DREAMING BIG, AND IT'S BEEN A TRUE HONOR TO SPEAK WITH BOTH THE MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN THEIR BUSINESS PATHWAYS.

ON TOPICS SUCH AS CHARACTER, INTEGRITY, DISCOVERING YOUR PURPOSE, LEADING WITH FAITH, AND WHAT DOES SERVANT LEADERSHIP LOOK LIKE IN THE REAL WORLD. MY FAMILY AND BUSINESS ARE DEEPLY COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL AND THE TOWN OF JUPITER WITH OUR TIME, TREASURE, AND TALENT.

THROUGH OUR COMPANY, WE'RE PROUD TO PROVIDE WELL-PAYING OPPORTUNITIES AND CAREER PATHS THAT KEEP TALENT RIGHT HERE. WE WHOLEHEARTEDLY BELIEVE IN THE MISSION AND SUPPORT OF JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL, THE LEGACY CAMPUS, AND HOMETOWN HEROES. WE ONLY HOPE THAT OUR HEROES CAN REMAIN ROOTED IN THIS COMMUNITY.

BUT WE WILL ALSO WORK TO BRING MORE HIGH-QUALITY JOBS AND HOPE TO JUPITER'S FUTURE AS WELL.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND THANK YOU FOR THE EXTRA. JULIANA SACCARO, 18115, LAKE BEND DRIVE, JUPITER, FLORIDA. GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS JULIANA SACCARO AND I'M HERE TONIGHT IN SUPPORT OF THE PROJECT PROPOSED BY JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL. AS SOMEONE WHO CARES DEEPLY ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY, THIS PROJECT REPRESENTS MORE THAN JUST DEVELOPMENT. IT REFLECTS AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE OF FAMILIES AND STUDENTS WHO CALL JUPITER HOME. AS A DESCENDANT OF ONE OF THE EARLY SETTLERS OF THE TOWN OF JUPITER, J.D.

[02:40:02]

LIKE MANY WHO WERE BORN AND RAISED IN JUPITER, I HOPE TO BUILD MY LIFE AND FUTURE IN THE SAME COMMUNITY THAT HELPED SHAPE WHO I AM. HOWEVER, THE REALITY OF MANY OF US WHO GREW UP HERE IS THAT HOME OWNERSHIP HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY OUT OF REACH. THE WORKFORCE HOUSING COMPONENT OF THIS PROJECT CREATES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME TO REMAIN IN JUPITER AND CONTINUE CONTRIBUTING TO THE COMMUNITY WE KNOW AND LOVE. JUPITER CHRISTIAN HAS LONG BEEN AN INSTITUTION THAT SUPPORTS THOSE VALUES BY EDUCATING STUDENTS NOT ONLY ACADEMICALLY, BUT ALSO IN CHARACTER AND FAITH. THIS PROJECT CONTINUES THAT LEGACY BY ALLOWING THE SCHOOL TO GROW RESPONSIBLY AND CONTINUE SERVING FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY. THE SUPPORT OF THE LEGACY CAMPUS WILL BRING A POSITIVE IMPACT TO THE JUPITER COMMUNITY. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR CONSIDERATION. SUSAN MURPHY, 500, OCEAN DRIVE, JUNEAU BEACH. I'M SUSAN MURPHY AND I HAVE SERVED JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL SCHOOL SINCE 2005, AS A TEACHER, A COACH, A CAMPUS LEADER, AND NOW THE CHIEF ACADEMIC OFFICER, BUT I ALSO AM A PARENT OF A DAUGHTER, A 2014 GRADUATE, NOW A THRIVING YOUNG PROFESSIONAL SERVING THIS COMMUNITY THROUGH THE PALM BEACH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. I'VE SEEN FIRSTHAND WHAT JUPITER CHRISTIAN EDUCATION CAN DO FOR STUDENTS AND FOR THIS TOWN. THERE IS A CLEAR AND GROWING NEED FOR HIGH QUALITY, CHRIST-CENTERED EDUCATION.

FAMILIES ARE SEEKING A SCHOOL THAT FORMS BOTH THE MIND AND THE CHARACTER OF THEIR CHILDREN WHILE MEETING THEIR INDIVIDUAL LEARNING NEEDS. AND THE LEGACY CAMPUS PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO MEET THAT DEMAND IN A THOUGHTFUL, FUTURE-FOCUSED WAY. THE LEGACY CAMPUS WILL EXPAND OUR CAPACITY TO OFFER RIGOROUS ACADEMIC PATHWAYS, INCLUDING A COLLEGIATE HIGH SCHOOL MODEL, A TRADE. TRAINING THAT EQUIPS STUDENTS FOR CAREERS, COLLEGE, MILITARY, TECHNICAL FIELDS.

THE NEW FACILITIES WILL SUPPORT INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS IN STEM, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING, HELPING STUDENTS DISCOVER THEIR GIFTS, CLARIFY THEIR PURPOSE, AND UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN CONTRIBUTE MEANINGFULLY TO JUPITER. JCS STUDENTS ALREADY SERVE THROUGHOUT THIS COMMUNITY.

THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL NONPROFITS, CHURCHES, AND CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS.

YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD. OUR GRADUATES STRENGTHEN THE ECONOMIC VITALITY, CIVIC LIFE, AND CHARITABLE WORK OF THIS REGION AS BUSINESS OWNERS, EDUCATORS, FIRST RESPONDERS, MINISTRY LEADERS, AND ENGAGED CITIZENS. THE LEGACY CAMPUS WILL STRENGTHEN THESE LONG-LASTING PARTNERSHIPS. WITH THE TOWN OF JUPITER AND THE WIDER NORTH COUNTY COMMUNITY. IT'S THROUGH THIS PROJECT AND INVESTMENT YOU'RE MAKING IN FUTURE LEADERSHIP. AT JCS, WE TEACH THAT LEADERSHIP IS ABOUT RESPONSIBILITY AND SERVICE, AND THE LEGACY CAMPUS WILL GIVE STUDENTS THE SPACES AND THE TOOLS TO PRACTICE THAT LEADERSHIP.

NOW, SO THAT THEY'RE PREPARED TO GIVE BACK LATER. FINALLY, THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN DESIGNED WITH JUPITER IN MIND. IT ADVANCES ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP, IT HELPS RESPOND TO COMMUNITY NEEDS, EXPANDS OUR ABILITY TO SUPPORT LOCAL FAMILIES.

SO, SAYING YES TO THE LEGACY CAMPUS IS SAYING YES TO THE CONTINUED FLOURISHING OF THIS TOWN, TO STRONGER FAMILIES, DEEPER COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS, AND THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS WHO WILL LOVE AND SERVE JUPITER WELL. ON BEHALF OF OUR STUDENTS, FAMILIES, FACULTY, AND ALUMNI, I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU TO SUPPORT THE JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL LEGACY CAMPUS PROJECT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. MADAM CHAIR, THAT COMPLETES THE PUBLIC COMMENTS. GREAT. OKAY, WITH THE PUBLIC COMMENTS BEING CLOSED, WE'LL MOVE BACK UP TO THE DAIS. SO WE'LL HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR DELIBERATIONS BEFORE WE ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

AND WE'LL START AGAIN WITH COMMISSIONER KEENAN. FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE ON BEHALF OF MY COMMISSIONERS FOR YOUR COMMENTS. THEY WERE VERY HELPFUL AND VERY SINCERE, AND VERY IMPRESSIVE. YOU RAISE SOME VERY GOOD POINTS, BUT I ALSO HAVE TO SAY THAT OUR JOB AS ZONING COMMISSIONERS HAS TO DO WITH REGULATING THE USE OF LAND. IT'S NOT MAKING ANY VALUE JUDGMENTS WITH RESPECT TO SCHOOLS. YOUR SCHOOL SOUNDS FANTASTIC. I MEAN,

[02:45:01]

BUT WE HAVE A JOB OF REGULATING THE USE OF LAND, WHICH IS WHAT ZONING IS ABOUT.

WE HAVE TO MANAGE, ORGANIZE, AND PLAN IN A WAY THAT MAKES SENSE FOR THE COMMUNITY. AND IF YOU WERE HAVING TO SIT IN ONE HOUR OF GRIDLOCK EVERY TIME YOU DROPPED OFF A CHILD, AND SIT IN ONE HOUR OF GRIDLOCK EVERY TIME YOU PICKED UP THE CHILD, AT SOME POINT, IT MIGHT START TO BOTHER YOU. AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT OUR JOB IS ABOUT.

SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT COMMENT AS A...

INTRODUCTION TO EVERYTHING ELSE THAT YOU MAY HEAR TONIGHT. THANK YOU.

IT WAS TRULY IMPRESSIVE. I HAVE A STAFF QUESTION, AND THAT WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO A COMMENT MADE BY THE GENTLEMAN WHO WAS FROM THE JUPITER INDUSTRIAL PARK THAT'S ALREADY IN EXISTENCE THERE. HE MADE THE COMMENT THAT ISLAND WAY, EVEN IF IT'S COMPLETED, WILL NOT REALLY ALLEVIATE CONGESTION.

IT WILL SIMPLY RELOCATE IT.

ANY THOUGHTS OR COMMENTS ON THAT COMMENT? FOR THE RECORD, AGAIN, TRAFFIC ENGINEERING TOWN OF JUPITER. YES, YOU WOULD, BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC DIVERTED ONTO ISLAND WAY, YOU WOULD PROVIDE THE RELIEF. ABOUT 550 VEHICLES AN HOUR THAT GO THROUGH THE JUPITER PARK DRIVE AND THE CENTRAL INTERSECTION, GOING NORTH ONTO THE CENTRAL INTERSECTION, THAT TRIPLE LEFT TURN, THAT EVERY DAY IT WAS CONGESTED. AND THEN HEADING TO WASTELAND TO REACH THE ISLAND WAY. AND HOPEFULLY WITH THE FOUR-LANE ROAD, WE CAN RELIEVE THAT THE CONGESTION AT ALL. ONE SHOT, BUT YOU SEE THE CONGESTION PROPER BACK TOO.

SO THAT PART OF THE 550 STUDENTS CAN BE OFFSET BY INTRODUCING THE ISLAND WAY SOUTH IN THE SECTION.

HOWEVER, IF WITHOUT THE PROPER TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT ON THE GROWTH OF THAT ITEM, WHERE SOUTH EXTENSION IN THE CAPACITY OF THE TWO-LANE ROAD CAPACITY, THEN WE ARE END UP WITH THE SIMILAR SITUATION THAT WE ARE HAVING ON THE CENTRAL.

FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE APPROVE MORE THAN 1200 STUDENTS, I'M JUST HYPOTHETICAL IF WE APPROVE IT BEYOND THAT STUDENT CAPITAL, THEN WE END UP WITH TRIPLE LEFT TURN. WHICH IS SIMILAR TO THE CENTRAL INTERSECTIONS.

AND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE DOUBLE LEFT TURN, EASTBOUND, LEFT TURN, GOING UH, THE THE THE ONTO THE SOUTH OF ITEMWAY, AND UH. HAVING THAT CONFIGURATION, WE ARE GOING TO EVEN REQUIRE MORE RIGHT AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION. THAT WAS THE MAJOR IMPACT, SO THAT'S THE REASON, BECAUSE OF THAT, THE, UH, THE, THE SCHOOL TRAFFIC. BECAUSE OF PARTICULAR PICKING ARRIVAL PATTERNS, WE NEED TO SMARTLY DO THE GROWTH CONTROL AND NOT TO HAVE THE ISLAND WAY AFTER.

WE MAKE A CONNECTION AND LET IT BECOME THE SECOND CENTRAL.

YES, SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION HERE, YES, IF WE DO THE SMART CONTROL ON THE GROWTH ONTO THE ISLAND WAY, THE ISLAND WAY CAN...

ONLY SERVE AS A RELIEF ROUTE TO MITIGATE THE TRAFFIC THAT CURRENTLY OUR EXISTING NETWORK IS HAVING.

BUT IF WE TRIGGER THAT AND TIP OVER THE BALANCE, THEN YES, THE ISLAND WAY COULD NOT DULY PROVIDE THAT FUNCTION TO RELIEVE THE CONGESTION. WE JUST SIMPLY SHIFT THAT CONGESTION OVER. THANK YOU.

THE DILEMMA, OF COURSE, IS KIND OF OBVIOUS. BECAUSE IF YOU WERE TO PICK THE WORST POSSIBLE PARCEL OF LAND IN THE TOWN OF JUPITER TO PUT A SCHOOL, I THINK WE'VE GOTTEN IT.

THAT'S THE DILEMMA. I MEAN, WE'RE PUTTING A SCHOOL INTO AN AREA THAT IS ALREADY DENSE, THAT IS INDUSTRIAL, THAT HAS ENVIRONMENTAL RAMIFICATIONS. I MEAN, IT'S LIKE A LONG LIST OF...

PROBLEMS THAT ARE PRETTY SIGNIFICANT. I CAN'T THINK OF A WORSE PARCEL OF LAND, BUT IT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO WORK WITH. THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. THANK YOU.

COMMISSIONER ROGEL, PUT

[02:50:10]

FROM IT? I THOUGHT I DID. IT'S WHEN THE RED LIGHT'S NOT ON.

THE RED LIGHT IS ON. THAT'S WHEN THE MIC IS OFF, SO YEAH, IT'S BACKWARDS. OKAY, IS THAT BETTER? YES. I CHAIRED THE BOARD OF GSTAR SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS FROM ITS INCEPTION THROUGH ITS PURCHASE OF A BUILDING AND ITS CAMPUS, SO I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH, AND I'M SYMPATHETIC TO IT, BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND WHAT COMMISSIONER KEENAN JUST SAID IN TERMS OF WHAT OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS.

WE HAVE THE CHOICE, I THINK, OF EITHER, AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT PROBABLY IS SOMETHING YOU UNDERSTAND WELL, TAKING ON FAITH, THE PROMISES OF WORKING TO ENSURE THAT SOUTH ISLAND WAY IS BUILT AND CONSTRUCTED CONCURRENTLY WITH THE TRAFFIC. THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE ADDED, OR SAY NO.

TO THE LAND USE CHANGE. AND I THINK THAT'S THE DILEMMA WE HAVE. COMMISSIONER THOMPSON? COMMISSIONER KEENAN SEEMS TO GET INTO MY HEAD ALL THE TIME BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO SAY THE MAJORITY OF THINGS, HE SAID. I THANK ALL OF THE PUBLIC FOR THEIR MANY THOUGHTFUL AND HEARTFELT COMMENTS. AND I THINK IF I HAD CHILDREN AT THAT SCHOOL, I'D PROBABLY HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF COMMENTS, OR IF I WORKED.

ONE THING IS EVIDENT THAT THE FUTURE GENERATIONS THAT WE HAVE GOING THROUGH JUPITER CHRISTIAN ARE GOING TO BE VERY WELL SUITED FOR WHATEVER THEY DO. AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE FUTURE.

THAT BEING SAID, AGAIN, WITH COMMISSIONER KEENAN, THE TOWN OF JUPITER, UNFORTUNATELY, HAS THE DISTINCTION OF PICKING PLACES THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE THE WORST. PIECES OF LAND. I'M NOT GOING TO COMMENT ON PAST THINGS, BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE AGAIN, BUT IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE. JUPITER IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A PLACE THAT HAS A DRAW TO PEOPLE, WHETHER IT'S A TRICKLE FROM THE NORTHEAST OR IT'S A FIRE HOSE.

BECAUSE OF A PANDEMIC, AND PEOPLE WANT TO BE DOWN HERE. THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE TRAFFIC ISSUES DOWN HERE.

I THINK THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE WAYS THAT WE CAN.

ALLEVIATE THAT OR LESSEN IT IN SOME RESPECTS. I HOPE THAT JUPITER CHRISTIAN, TOGETHER WITH THE TOWN, CAN FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE THIS WORK IN SOME RESPECTS. REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE OUTCOME IS HERE TONIGHT, I THINK IT WAS A VERY WELL PLANNED OUT INITIATIVE.

AND HOPE TO SEE SUCCESS ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. THANK YOU.

COMMISSIONER CASSATT. THANK YOU. I AGREE WITH THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS.

IN THANKING YOU FOR YOUR HEARTFELT AND SINCERE COMMENTS, I APPRECIATE THE DEBATE THAT WE HAD AS WELL. I THINK IT'S GOOD THAT WE FLUSH THIS OUT AND TALK ABOUT IT. I THINK YOUR INSTITUTION IS A GREAT INSTITUTION. WE WANT TO STAY IN JUPITER. AND I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THERE'S A WAY THAT WE COULD MAYBE ADD SOME TYPE OF RIDER OR REQUIREMENT. TO, THAT WOULD SUFFICE TO MOVE THINGS ALONG. BECAUSE I THINK, NO MATTER WHAT, I THINK, WE CAN ALL APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT WHETHER IT'S THE WORST PIECE OF PROPERTY OR THERE'S ONE THAT'S ONE THAT'S MORE DIFFICULT TO DEVELOP WITH, TRAFFIC REALLY DOESN'T MATTER, IT NEEDS TO BE DEVELOPED. AND IF WE HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH A LOT OF HOOPS, I THINK IT'S A GREAT INSTITUTION TO JUMP THROUGH THE HOOPS FOR. WE JUST GOT TO MAKE IT SO THAT THOSE, UH, HOOPS ARE EQUALLY SATISFYING TO THE TOWN, IN THE TRAFFIC PATTERN, IN THE ENVIRONMENT, AS WELL AS TO JUPITER. THANK YOU.

COMMISSIONER GRABOWSKI.

FIRST, I WANT TO ECHO COMMISSIONER KEENAN'S COMMENTS 100 PERCENT. I THOUGHT HE WAS SPOT ON WHAT THE ROLE OF THE COMMISSION IS. AND AGAIN, I ALSO WANT TO EXPRESS MY HEARTFELT THANKS TO EVERYBODY HERE THAT SPOKE BEFORE THE COMMISSION. AS I WENT THROUGH THE PACKAGE, I BUILT THE TABLE. WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF JUPITER? WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES OF JUPITER.

IN SHORT, THE WAY I LOOK AT THIS, THERE'S... WHILE THERE'S CONSIDERABLE UPSIDE, THERE'S ALSO POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT DOWNSIDE. THERE'S SOME PITFALLS THERE. CAN THEY BE WORKED? POSSIBLY. AND THE

[02:55:01]

WITH THAT SAID, THERE'S A LOT OF UNKNOWNS HERE THAT CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY WORKED. ALL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, BASICALLY, IS SOME COLORS ON THE MAP.

SO, WITH THAT SAID, I DO THINK THAT WE OUGHT TO CONSIDER, WHEN WE PUT FORWARD THE MOTION, SOME ADDITIONAL CLAUSES OR WHATEVER SUPPORT FOR THINGS LIKE THE TRIP CAP. WE NEED A BONA FIDE PLAN, BASICALLY A BONA FIDE EXECUTABLE PLAN FOR THE TRAFFIC. OKAY. WE NEED TO KNOW THAT THE CONSERVATION ISSUES HAVE BEEN RESOLVED.

OKAY. AND I THINK THOSE ARE THE BIG, OUTSTANDING ITEMS, AND I'D LIKE TO GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO DO THAT. THANK YOU.

COMMISSIONER BLUM. I REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU HAD TO SAY. AS A PARENT OF THREE CHILDREN WHO WENT TO BOTH JUPITER CHRISTIAN AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS, I VOLUNTEERED AS A SCHOOL NURSE THERE TWO DAYS A WEEK, AND I ALSO WAITED IN THAT LINE ON DELAWARE. SO I CAN REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT THAT'S ALL ABOUT. I WILL SAY, I THINK OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN JUPITER ARE EXCELLENT AS WELL.

JUPITER CHRISTIAN IS EXCELLENT.

WE'RE FORTUNATE TO HAVE GOOD SCHOOLS HERE. AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL BE ABLE TO STAY HERE IN JUPITER. I APPRECIATE VERY MUCH THE WORKFORCE, HOUSING MORE THAN ANYTHING. I THINK THAT IS A HUGE CONCERN. THAT BEING SAID, I AGAIN ECHO WHAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HERE SAYING. THE TRAFFIC IMPACTS, THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS, AND THE WILDLIFE CONCERNS ARE HUGE. AND I...

HAVE NOT PERSONALLY FELT THAT THOSE WERE RECTIFIED AT THIS PARTICULAR MEETING.

THAT'S IT. THIS HAS PROBABLY BEEN THE MOST DIFFICULT ONE SINCE I'VE BEEN ON THE COMMISSION, YOU KNOW, GOING BACK AND FORTH AND SPENT THE MOST TIME ON IT AND TALKING TO A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE. I, TOO, I LOVE THE IDEA OF THE SCHOOL. I MEAN, IT'S A WORLD-CLASS SCHOOL.

SCHOOL, AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT EXPAND. YOU KNOW, THE LOCATION IS NOT THE BEST, BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THERE'S REALLY NO OTHER LOCATION, RIGHT? SO IT'S NOT LIKE YOU HAVE ANOTHER OPTION, WHICH I APPRECIATE THAT. AND I'LL BE HONEST, WHEN I CAME INTO THIS MEETING, YOU KNOW, I WAS PRETTY MUCH AGAINST IT.

BECAUSE MY CONCERN, AS I STATED EARLIER, WAS THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PROMISES THAT ARE VERBALLY SAID, BUT THERE'S NOTHING TO PROVE THAT ANYTHING IS IN THE WORKS. OR THAT IT'S GOING TO COME TO FRUITION.

WITH THAT SAID, I THINK FOR ME, THE LINCHPIN HAS BEEN THE FACT THAT I LEARNED TONIGHT. THAT TOWN COUNCIL, WHO HAS TO MAKE THE ULTIMATE DECISION AT THE SECOND READING, WOULD ALSO HAVE THE SITE PLAN AND ALL THOSE TYPE OF THINGS, WHICH WITHIN THAT, THE COUNCIL WILL HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION THAT'S NECESSARY TO SEE THAT, ALL THE THINGS WE WANT IN HERE, LIKE ON PAGE 19 OF 171 IN OUR PACKET, YOU KNOW, THE STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED FOUR ITEMS. YOU KNOW, THE TRIP COUNT, ESTABLISHING A MAXIMUM NUMBER OF STUDENTS AND WORKFORCE HOUSING, YOU KNOW, TO RELATE TO THE PROGRESS OF THE SOUTH ISLAND WAY, COMMITMENTS FOR COMPLETING THE ROADWAY, INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS CONCURRENT WITH THE IMPACTS, AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS TO ENSURE IMPACTS OF THE ROADWAY SYSTEM ARE SUFFICIENTLY MITIGATED. I THINK THOSE FOUR ARE REALLY IMPORTANT, AND I THINK SINCE. THE TOWN COUNCIL WILL, THEN, WHEN THEY MAKE THEIR FINAL DECISION, WILL HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT THEY NEED, I COULD, IN GOOD CONSCIENCE, AT THIS POINT, APPROVE THE PROJECT. BECAUSE TOWN COUNCIL WOULD HAVE THAT ABILITY TO HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION IN THEIR HANDS TO MAKE THE BEST DECISION POSSIBLE. SO WITH THAT SAID. ANY OTHER FURTHER COMMENTS? JUST AN INQUIRY. THIS IS SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T DONE BEFORE, BUT COUNCIL CAN TELL ME IF WE CANNOT DO IT. MY THOUGHT IS THAT, OR I WOULD HYPOTHETICALLY MOVE TO STAY OR SUSPEND THE APPLICATION PENDING COMPLETION OF THE ISLAND WAY BY THE REMAINING PARCEL. NOT DENY IT, STAY OR SUSPEND IT, PENDING COMPLETION OF THE PARCELS FOR ISLAND WAY, GIVEN THAT THAT SEEMS TO BE THE RELIEF VALVE FOR THE TRAFFIC. WHEN YOU SAY, CAN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY, I MEAN, ALL THE RIGHT-OF-WAYS BE

[03:00:03]

NOPE, NOPE, NOPE. DONE. THAT'S FOR ME. THANK YOU. SO NO, I, I DON'T THINK THAT'S A RECOMMENDATION THAT YOU CAN MAKE TO THE TOWN COUNCIL. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY HERE IS YOU HAVE ON ITEM NUMBER TWO.

ON YOUR AGENDA, YOU HAVE TWO FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENTS, TWO ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS CORRESPONDING TO THE TWO PARCELS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF AN APPLICATION. SO I DON'T ENVY YOUR DELIBERATION ON THIS, BUT YOU REALLY HAVE TO WEIGH. THE STAFF'S ASSESSMENT OF THE CONSISTENCY OF THOSE PROPOSED PLAN AMENDMENTS WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE APPLICANTS ESSENTIALLY, DISAGREEMENT WITH THE STAFF'S APPLICATION OF THE POLICIES OF THE PLAN.

SO THERE WERE DIFFERENT POLICIES THAT YOU WERE PRESENTED WITH, COMPETING PHILOSOPHIES OF WHETHER THEY WERE CONSISTENT? ONE WAS TRAFFIC, ONE WAS ENVIRONMENTAL, AND THOSE ARE LARGELY THE WELL.

ANOTHER ONE IS REALLY LAND USE BECAUSE OF THERE'S THE COMPETING, COMPETING PHILOSOPHY OF THE BIOSCIENCE. OVERLAY AND THE ECONOMIC GENERATOR OF INDUSTRIAL LAND USE AS COMPARED TO A PUBLIC INSTITUTIONAL LAND USE. SO WHAT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IS IS TO THE EXTENT YOU HAVE A RECOMMENDATION TO RECOMMEND TO THE COUNCIL. EITHER THAT THEY APPROVE THE PLAN AMENDMENTS AND THE REZONING, OR THAT THEY NOT. YOU.

EVENTUALLY, DEPENDING ON WHAT HAPPENS AT THE COUNCIL LEVEL ON THE PLAN AMENDMENTS, IF THE PLAN AMENDMENTS DON'T GO FORWARD AT THE COUNCIL LEVEL, YOU WON'T SEE A SITE PLAN. IF THEY DO GO FORWARD AT THE COUNCIL LEVEL, THE SITE PLAN AND PUD WILL EVENTUALLY COME BACK TO YOU FOR THEIR SCRUTINY. BUT, YOU KNOW, YOUR FINDINGS NEED TO BE, AND I THINK THE STAFF HAS SET FORTH IN THEIR STAFF REPORT, FINDINGS AT LEAST, THEIR ASSESSMENT OF THE SITUATION AND THEIR ASSESSMENT OF THE CONSISTENCY WITH THE CONFERENCE. PLAN. THE APPLICANT REPRESENTATIVE, OF COURSE, PLANNER, DISAGREED WITH SOME OF THOSE FINDINGS, BUT THAT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO DECIDE WHICH ONE YOU ACCEPT, OR WHICH OF THOSE POLICIES YOU ACCEPT, AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL. TOM, I HAVE A QUESTION. SO IT'S A YAY OR NAY, UP OR DOWN. WE CAN'T CHANGE IT AT A CONDITION. CONDITION.

WELL, YOU DON'T. TYPICALLY, THERE ARE NOT CONDITIONS FOR LAND USE AMENDMENTS. IT'S A LEGISLATIVE ACT. IT'S YOUR DISCRETION ON WHETHER YOU BELIEVE THAT THE APPLICATIONS BEFORE YOU TO CHANGE THE LAND USE ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OR NOT. IF YOU FIND THAT THEY'RE CONSISTENT, THEN PRESUMABLY YOU MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL. THAT WE BELIEVE THE PLAN AMENDMENTS SHOULD BE APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL.

COUNCIL TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION YOUR RECOMMENDATION AND IT MAKES ITS OWN DECISION. SO TOM, LET ME ASK THIS QUESTION REAL QUICK.

COULD WE NOT MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE LAND USE CHANGE, UH, AND RECOMMEND TO THE COUNCIL THAT THEY CONSIDER VARIOUS MITIGATIONS? UH, SUCH AS YOU KNOW, THE TRAFFIC IMPACTS, AS THE TOWN SAID? I MEAN, AS THE STAFF SAID, AND MODIFICATIONS TO THE BIOSCIENCES OVERLAY, YOU COULD ON THE BIOSCIENCE OVERLAY.

HISTORICALLY, THE ONLY TYPES OF CONDITIONS, IF YOU WILL, THAT HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED, HAVE BEEN AT THE LAND USE STAGE. HAVE BEEN A TRIP CAP. SO YOU COULD COULD MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION.

THE THE JUPITER COUNTRY CLUB PROPERTY, WHICH WE ALL REFERRED TO AS PARCEL 19, IT'S THE COUNTRY CLUB ON THE SOUTH SIDE AND THE NAME OF THE SONOMA ISLES ON THE NORTH SIDE. THAT PROJECT

[03:05:03]

ON THAT PROPERTY. SO THAT WAS THE PHILOSOPHY, AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT CASE. SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING THEN IS WE COULD VOTE YAY ON THIS, WITH THE CONDITION THAT THERE ARE TRIP CAPS CORRELATED TO THE SOUTH ISLAND WAY, RIGHT-OF-WAY DEVELOPMENT? THAT A TRIP CAP BE ESTABLISHED... WHICH WOULD, IN TURN, ESTABLISH A CERTAIN LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT. AND I DON'T, YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU DOESN'T NECESSARILY LEND ITSELF TO ESTABLISHING WHAT THAT TRIP CAP IS. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I SUPPOSE WOULD BE THE SUBJECT FOR TRAFFIC ENGINEERS, AND YOU HEARD TWO OF THEM HERE TONIGHT, WOULD PRESUMABLY DISCUSS. AND PRESUMABLY, THE TOWN'S TRAFFIC ENGINEER WOULD MAKE SOME RECOMMENDATION, CERTAINLY TO THE COUNCIL. AND THEN TO ADDRESS THE BIOSCIENCE OVERLAY TO THE EXTENT THAT THAT IS, CALL IT AN ENCUMBRANCE TO A SCHOOL. HERE, YOU COULD MAKE A RECOMMENDATION. THAT THE BIOSCIENCE OVERLAY BE REMOVED FROM THIS PROPERTY, WHICH WOULD OPEN THE DOOR, AT LEAST FOR SOME CONSIDERATION OF A SCHOOL OF A CERTAIN SIZE. BASED PROBABLY ON THE TRIP CAP.

BUT AS YOU HEARD EARLIER, THE COUNCIL DID NOT REMOVE THE BIOSCIENCE OVERLAY FROM ALL OF THE PROPERTIES. BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO EVALUATE IT ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS, SO THIS IS ONE OF THOSE CASES. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? OKAY, THAT BEING THE CASE, MAY I HEAR A MOTION REGARDING ITEMS 2A, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OR DENIAL OF THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT? FROM GENERAL INDUSTRIAL? WITH A BIOSCIENCE RESEARCH...

PROTECTION OVERLAY TO HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

YES. BEFORE WE DO THAT, CAN I ASK FURTHER QUESTIONS? COULD WE, IN DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN THE LAND USE AMENDMENT AND THE ZONING CHANGES, THAT WE COULD SAY YES TO THE LAND USE AMENDMENTS? AND THEN ADD THE CONDITIONS TO THE ZONING CHANGE AMENDMENT? NO, BECAUSE THE CONDITIONS COME AT THE PUD SITE PLAN LEVEL.

AND MADAM CHAIR, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU HAVE TWO MOTIONS, AND I WOULD SUGGEST THEY BE ONE MOTION ON THE A AND B, FUTURE LAND USE MAP CHANGES, OR A RECOMMENDATION ON THAT, AND THEN A SECOND ONE ON THE ZONING MAP AMENDMENT. BECAUSE THE ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS IMPLEMENT THE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENTS. OKAY, SO DO THE ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS FIRST FOR BOTH? NO, THE LAND USE.

GOTCHA. CORRECT. SO, AN AMENDMENT ON THE FUTURE LAND USE AMENDMENTS, WHICH IS ITEMS A AND B.

BUT DON'T ASK ME, ASK MR. BAIRD, JUST SO YOU HAVE IT.

AND THEN WE CAN ADD SOME WORDING ABOUT THE TRIP CAPS ON 2A AND 2B. IT WOULD BE IN THAT MOTION. AND IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN REMOVING THE BIOSCIENCE OVERLAY FROM THOSE TWO PARCELS, THAT'S WHERE THE BIOSCIENCE OVERLAY

[03:10:01]

RIGHT. NO ONE SAYS IT'S GOING TO BE EASY. I THINK THOSE ISSUES, REALLY, THERE'S A CLEAR DIFFERENCE OF OPINION BETWEEN THE PROFESSIONALS THAT HAVE EVALUATED THAT. AND WHEN YOU GET TO THE, I'M NOT TRYING TO COMPLICATE THIS, BUT IN THE WORLD OF PLANNING, WHEN YOU GET TO THE PERIOD OF TIME WHERE YOU'RE ACTUALLY APPROVING A PROJECT, THE PROJECT HAS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE POLICIES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO, AT LEAST IN MY EXPERIENCE AND THROUGHOUT MANY PROJECTS IN JUPITER. THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ANALYSIS OF, WELL, IF WE APPROVE THIS PROJECT, WHAT'S THE IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT? AND IS IT CONSISTENT WITH THE POLICIES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? AND IF IT'S NOT CONSISTENT, IF THERE'S A FINDING MADE, IT'S NOT CONSISTENT, IT'S NOT GETTING APPROVED. SO WHAT THAT SCENARIO DOES IS IT SETS UP A SITUATION TO GIVE AN APPLICANT AN INCENTIVE. TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING AND WHAT THE STAFF IS REVIEWING AT SOME POINT COME TOGETHER SO THAT A FINDING OF CONSISTENCY CAN BE CAN BE MADE.

YOU'RE CERTAINLY NOT AT THAT POINT TONIGHT, SO IF YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, THE ONLY ALL OTHER ALTERNATIVE, IF YOU'RE. IF THE CONSERVATION ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES ARE AN OVERRIDING FACTOR FOR YOU, THEN PRESUMABLY YOU WOULD NOT BE RECOMMENDING AN APPROVAL. CAN I MAKE A TRY? PLEASE DO. I MOVE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT FROM GENERAL INDUSTRIAL WITH THE BIOSCIENCE RESEARCH PROTECTION OVERLAY TO HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL APPLICATION. AND TO PUBLIC INSTITUTIONAL APPLICATION, WITH TRIP CAPS CONNECTED TO SOUTH ISLAND WAY IMPROVEMENTS.

OKAY. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THAT. CAN I AMEND IT? MR. GROMBROWSKI? AND HERE'S WHAT I'M GOING TO SUGGEST. I LOVE WHAT YOU GOT UP TO THE TRIP, CAPS. OKAY. I DO THINK WE NEED TO RECOMMEND TO THE TOWN COUNCIL THAT THEY INCLUDE JUPITER PARK DRIVE, AND THAT'S NOT JUST SOUTH ISLAND WAY, BUT JUPITER PARK DRIVE.

AND WE NEED TO RECOMMEND THEY, AND I THINK IF THEY, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE BIOSCIENCE, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, ABOUT THE BIOSCIENCES OVERLAY, BECAUSE THIS FUTURE LAND USE CHANGE WOULD CHANGE. I'M GOING TO TRY THAT AGAIN. THAT WOULD IMPLEMENT THAT CHANGE, RIGHT, TOM? I BELIEVE THAT'S THE WAY IT READS, BECAUSE IT READS GENERAL INDUSTRIAL WITH BIO RESEARCH PROTECTION OVERLAY, AND YOU'RE CHANGING THAT LAND USE CATEGORY TO THE PUBLIC INSTITUTIONAL.

AND I WOULD SAY, JUST A KIND OF A NUANCE TO THE MOTION IS YOU WANT TO ESTABLISH TRIP CAPS. YEAH, I WOULD LIKE THOSE TRIP CAPS KIND OF CORRELATED TO THE IMPROVEMENTS AS THEY'RE HAPPENING. YOU KNOW WELL, THE MOTION WAS CONNECTED TO SOUTH ISLAND WAY IMPROVEMENTS, SO CONNECTED WOULD SUGGEST THAT IT'S OKAY. AND DO YOU AGREE WITH, THE, UH, MR. GRUMBOWSKI'S UM AMENDMENT TO ALSO INCLUDE JUPITER PARK DRIVE? YES, OKAY, OKAY, ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE, AYE. ANY OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES, AND THAT ONE WAS FOR BOTH THE RESIDENTIAL AND THE INSTITUTIONAL, CORRECT? BOTH.

THAT WAS 2A AND 2B. OKAY, JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE. AND THEN WE CAN JUST REPEAT THAT FOR 2C AND 2D. GO AHEAD AND MAKE THE MOTIONS FOR THE RECORD. I MOVE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE

[03:15:01]

PUBLIC INSTITUTIONAL APPLICATION, WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF TRIP CAPS CONNECTED TO SOUTH ISLAND WAY IMPROVEMENTS AND JUPITER PARK DRIVE. I'LL SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. ONE OPPOSED.

COMMISSIONER BLUM. OKAY. VERY

[STAFF UPDATE]

NO, NOT YET. OH, NOT YET, NOT YET. NO. CAN WE OKAY? NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS THE STAFF UPDATE. WE'LL GIVE THEM JUST A MOMENT TO LEAVE SO WE CAN HEAR YOU.

OKAY. WELL, THEY ARE BEING VERY PLEASANT AND QUIET SO WE CAN GO AHEAD AND WE THANK YOU. UH, SO THE STAFF UPDATE? SURE, THANK YOU. UM, FIRST, ON FEBRUARY 17TH, THE TOWN COUNCIL VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE THE GETZ SUBDIVISION PROPERTY FOR ANNEXATION LAND USE.

PLEASE EXCUSE ME, JUST ONE MINUTE. IF YOU GUYS COULD GO AHEAD AND TALK OUT IN THE LOBBY AS OPPOSED TO HERE, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD. THE SECOND ITEM ON THE SAME AGENDA WAS PLANET KIDS WAS APPROVED. SORRY, THAT FIRST ONE WAS THE FINAL APPROVAL, SECOND READING. THE SECOND ITEM IS PLANET KIDS WAS APPROVED ON FIRST READING FOR THEIR ANNEXATION, LAND USE, AND ZONING. ON MARCH 3RD, THE COUNCIL WAS SCHEDULED TO RECONSIDER THE REZONING FOR THE PROPERTY ON THE EAST SIDE OF BEACON PARK. THAT WAS A PROPERTY THAT THE COMMISSION HAD RECOMMENDED, THE R1 ZONING SINGLE-FAMILY DISTRICT, INSTEAD OF WHAT THE APPLICANT WAS EXPRESSING. FOR COMPACT SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL R1A. THAT WAS POSTPONED INITIALLY TO MARCH 17TH, AND THEN TODAY IT WAS REQUESTED TO BE POSTPONED TO APRIL 7TH.

AND THEN, SIMILARLY, THE APPLICATIONS WERE COMING BACK TO THE COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCES ON THE WEST SIDE. YOU MAY RECALL THE COMMISSION RECOMMENDED AGAINST THE CHANGES ON THE WEST SIDE, I BELIEVE IN A SPLIT DECISION, AND AN ORDINANCE WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THAT. SO THE COUNCIL ASKED THAT AN ORDINANCE GO AHEAD AND BE PREPARED, AND THAT WAS ALSO SCHEDULED FOR THE MARCH 17TH AGENDA, EXCUSE ME, THE MARCH 3RD AGENDA, POSTPONED TO MARCH 17TH, AND NOW POSTPONED TO APRIL 7TH. AND THEN, LASTLY, ON MARCH 3RD, THE COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE PIAT PUBLIC SAFETY MARINA AND PARK. OKAY, THANK YOU. OKAY, ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE THE COMMISSION? ALL RIGHT, DO I HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? ALL RIGHT, MOTION GRANTED AT 10:18, WE ADJOURN.
