Oct 06, 2026 Town Council

AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR STAFF WHO CAME OUT FOR THIS FEEL WELCOME TO DEPART. DEPART. OKAY, NOW WE HAVE A EXCITING PRESENTATION

[2. JFRD Update.# ]

FROM OUR FIRE CHIEF.

MAYOR, TOWN COUNCIL, THOSE HERE IN THE AUDIENCE AND THOSE AT HOME, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE AT JUPITER FIRE RESCUE. UH, SO AT MIDNIGHT ON OCTOBER 1ST, JUPITER FIRE RESCUE WENT LIVE ON SCHEDULE AND ON BUDGET, JUST AS PROMISED.

FOR THE FIRST TIME, JUPITER RESIDENTS ARE SERVED BY THEIR OWN MUNICIPAL FIRE RESCUE DEPARTMENT. OUR FIRST CALL CAME IN AT 1:13 A.M., A LIFT ASSIST AT A SENIOR LIVING FACILITY.

BUT LESS THAN 2 HOURS LATER, OUR CREWS WERE WORKING CARDIAC ARREST. TONIGHT, I'LL COVER OUR FIRST FULL 5 DAYS OF OPERATION FROM OCTOBER 1 THROUGH OCTOBER 05, WHAT WE RAN, WHO WE WORKED WITH, AND WHAT WE'RE LEARNING. THE SHORT VERSION, OUR PEOPLE PERFORMED, OUR PARTNERS SHOWED UP, AND THE SYSTEM IS WORKING. SO BY THE NUMBERS, WE'VE RESPONDED TO 132 CALLS IN THE FIRST 5 DAYS. THAT'S ABOUT 26 CALLS A DAY. 131 OF THOSE WERE IN JUPITER, AND 5 WERE HELPING OUR NEIGHBORS IN PALM BEACH GARDENS. WE RESPONDED TO 103 MEDICAL CALLS.

THAT'S ABOUT 4 OUT OF EVERY 5 CALLS WE RESPONDED TO. WE ALSO RESPONDED TO 18 FIRES, ALARMS, AND HAZARD CALLS. THERE WERE 6 VEHICLE CRASHES, AND MIND YOU, THIS WAS IN OUR FIRST 5 DAYS.

4 SERVICE CALLS. WE TRANSPORTED MORE THAN 75 PATIENTS TO THE HOSPITAL. 87% OF THOSE WENT TO JUPITER MEDICAL CENTER, 4 TO THE NEW ALAN B. MILLER MEDICAL CENTER, 4 PATIENTS WENT TO ST. MARY'S, AND 1 TO THE VA MEDICAL CENTER. OUR BUSIEST STATION, THAT'S STATION 12'S AREA OFF INDIAN TOWN ROAD, RAN 60 CALLS. STATION 11'S AREA, NEXT BUSIEST, 51 CALLS, AND OUR LEAST BUSY STATION AT THIS TIME IS STATION 10'S AREA, WITH ONLY 18 CALLS.

OF COURSE, THAT IS PRE-SEASON.

UH, RESCUE 11 WAS OUR BUSIEST SINGLE UNIT. UH, A BIT OF INSIGHT, 63% OF ALL OF OUR PATIENTS ARE AGE 60 AND OLDER, BUT WE DID HAVE 10 PEDIATRIC PATIENTS. WE RAN SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT CALLS. WE RESPONDED TO AND TREATED 2 STROKE ALERT PATIENTS WHO WERE TAKEN TO JUPITER MEDICAL CENTER, AND 2 TRAUMA ALERT

[00:10:02]

PATIENTS WHO WERE TAKEN TO ST. MARY'S MEDICAL CENTER. WE HAD ONE CARDIAC ARREST THAT WAS IN AN ADULT LIVING FACILITY ON OUR VERY FIRST NIGHT OF SERVICE. ON DAY TWO OF SERVICE, WE ADMINISTERED WHOLE BLOOD TO A PATIENT, WHO THEN RECEIVED TWO MORE UNITS WHEN HE GOT TO THE HOSPITAL BEFORE HAVING SURGERY, AND I'M HAPPY TO REPORT IS NOW DOING WELL.

THIS IS A CAPABILITY FEW FIRE DEPARTMENTS OUR SIZE HAVE, AND IT'S ONE THAT WE PROVIDE HERE AT JUPITER FROM DAY ONE. WE HAD A VEHICLE FIRE ON INDIANTOWN ROAD. THAT WAS ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON. IT WAS A JEEP FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THERE WERE 4 PEOPLE, A FAMILY OF 4 THAT WERE IN THAT VEHICLE, BUT EVERYONE GOT OUT SAFELY.

UH, SQUAD 12 ARRIVED IN UNDER 4 MINUTES FROM DISPATCH.

BATTALION 12 ARRIVED, TOOK COMMAND. FIRE WAS KNOCKED DOWN WITHIN JUST MINUTES.

PALM BEACH GARDENS UNITS CAME AND ASSISTED, PROVIDING WATER TO OUR UNITS, AND JUPITER POLICE CLOSED THE WESTBOUND LANES TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE.

THERE WERE NO INJURIES, AND INDIANTOWN ROAD WAS OPEN WITHIN THE HOUR. SOME OTHER FIRES WE RESPONDED TO. WE HAD AN ELECTRICAL FIRE AND A MULTI-FAMILY BUILDING ON CHASEWOOD DRIVE. CREWS ISOLATED THE POWER THERE, PROTECTED THE RESIDENTS. IT WAS A PORTABLE PHONE CHARGER THAT CAUGHT FIRE. IT WAS FAIRLY MINOR IN NATURE, BUT THE POTENTIAL WAS VERY SEVERE, UH, IF THAT, IF THOSE RESIDENTS HADN'T BEEN HOME AT THE TIME.

UH, THANKFULLY THEY WERE, AND OUR ROLE WAS MOSTLY TO JUST GET THE SMOKE OUT OF THEIR HOUSE. DURING SATURDAY NIGHT'S LIGHTNING STORM, AND IT WAS QUITE THE LIGHTNING STORM, UH, WE HAD SEVERAL REPORTED LIGHTNING STRIKES, AND UH, WE HAD A TREE THAT CAUGHT FIRE FROM A LIGHTNING STRIKE HERE NEXT TO TOWN HALL AND NEAR THE JUPITER HIGH SCHOOL.

SO FOR US, THE DIVIDED HIGHWAY'S BEEN BUSY. THIS IS BOTH I-95 AND THE TURNPIKE. WE RESPONDED TO 7 CALLS ON I-95 AND THE TURNPIKE. THAT INCLUDES THE VEHICLE FIRE BENEATH THE OVERPASS. UH, THAT WAS BETWEEN OCTOBER 1 AND OCTOBER 5. UM, JUST TODAY WE'VE BEEN THERE 3 TIMES, AND 2 OF THOSE WERE FOR ROLLOVERS.

UH, MOST OF THE CRASHES THAT WE RESPONDED TO EARLIER WERE BETWEEN PGA AND DONALD ROSS INTERCHANGES. UH, TODAY'S, UH, 2 OF OUR CALLS ON ON UH THE TURNPIKE WERE NORTH OF, UH, INDIANTOWN ON THE TURNPIKE. I CAN TELL YOU THAT OUR PARTNERSHIPS ARE PROVING VALUABLE. CLOSEST UNIT AUTOMATIC AID WITH PALM BEACH GARDENS IS WORKING IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, JUST AS DESIGNED. WE ASSISTED GARDENS FIVE TIMES, AND GARDENS HAS ASSISTED US SEVEN TIMES. RESIDENTS GET THE CLOSEST HELP, REGARDLESS OF THE CITY LINE, AND THAT'S A TRUE PARTNERSHIP.

NORTHCOM WENT LIVE FOR BOTH PALM BEACH GARDENS AND JUPITER FIRE AT THE SAME TIME. THIS IS THEIR FIRST TIME DISPATCHING FIRE SERVICES. THEY'VE HANDLED EVERY CALL, AND THEIR TEAM HAS BEEN AMAZING. YEARS OF PLANNING WERE FLAWLESSLY EXECUTED. THE JUPITER POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN TREMENDOUS. JPD OFFICERS ARE ON ALL OF OUR CALLS WITH US, PROVIDING SCENE SAFETY, TRAFFIC CONTROL, AND A SECOND SET OF HANDS.

THEY EVEN COME ON TO THESE DIVIDED HIGHWAYS WITH US TO HELP KEEP OUR PEOPLE SAFE.

UH, WHEN THE POLICE BOAT HAS BEEN OUT, WEATHER HASN'T BEEN THE BEST, BUT WHEN IT'S BEEN OUT, A JFRD PARAMEDIC RESCUE DIVER IS ABOARD AND WITH THEM, AND THAT'S A REAL ASSET FOR OUR WATERFRONT. THIS PUBLIC SAFETY RELATIONSHIP IS SO INCREDIBLY VALUABLE, AND WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR THEM. UH, WE ARE LEARNING A FEW THINGS. A FEW ADDRESSES GENERATE A VERY LARGE SHARE OF OUR CALLS. 6 LOCATIONS, MOSTLY SENIOR LIVING AND SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES, HAVE PRODUCED 1 OUT OF EVERY 4 CALLS. MOST OF THEM ARE FOR FALLS AND LIFT ASSISTS. SO WE LOOK AT THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY, NOT A PROBLEM. TELLS US EXACTLY WHERE PREVENTION WILL PAY OFF AND WHERE PROTOCOLS CAN BE IMPROVED FOR BETTER CARE FOR THOSE RESIDENTS AND TO KEEP OUR UNITS AVAILABLE FOR OTHER EMERGENCIES. WE'RE COLLECTING GOOD DATA FROM EVERY CALL. WE'RE REVIEWING IT DAILY, WHICH IS, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT A NEW DEPARTMENT SHOULD BE DOING. SO FIVE DAYS IN, AND JUPITER FIRE RESCUE IS DOING WHAT THIS COUNCIL CREATED IT TO DO.

LOCAL SERVICE, LOCAL ACCOUNTABILITY, AND STRONG PARTNERSHIPS. I WANT TO THANK OUR FIREFIGHTERS AND PARAMEDICS, OUR ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM, THE TEAM AT NORTHCOM, PALM BEACH GARDENS, AND CHIEF

[00:15:03]

HENNESSY AND THE MEN AND WOMEN OF JUPITER POLICE DEPARTMENT.

WITHOUT THEM, WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS, AND I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS? THAT WAS, THAT WAS AMAZING. I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, THANK YOU.

I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION ANYWAY. UH, CONGRATULATIONS, GREAT START. UM, THE, UH, THE STATION ON INDIANTOWN ROAD, THAT WHEN YOU INTERRUPT THE LIGHT SYSTEM, HOW'S THAT BEEN WORKING OUT? BEEN WORKING PERFECTLY.

HAS IT? YEAH.

WE CAN TRACK THAT THROUGH A COMPUTER SYSTEM. WE CAN SEE EVERY TIME THAT IT'S ACTIVATED, AND EVERY TIME A LIGHT CHANGES, WE CAN TELL WHICH DIRECTION THEY'RE GOING, WHETHER THEY HAVE A TURN SIGNAL ON. IT'S ALL BEEN WORKING PERFECTLY. OUR, OUR BATTALION CHIEF SAID IT, IT MAKES SUCH A HUGE DIFFERENCE. HE, HE JUST HITS GREEN LIGHTS.

YEAH, GREAT. EXCELLENT. THANK YOU.

I JUST WANTED TO ASK ABOUT THE WHOLE BLOOD INCIDENT.

WHERE DO WE KEEP WHOLE BLOOD, AND HOW IS IT, HOW DO YOU GET IT TO THE PATIENT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE? SO OUR BATTALION CHIEF HAS THE WHOLE BLOOD IN HIS UNIT, AND HE RESPONDS TO BRING THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, BLOOD IS A VERY PRECIOUS RESOURCE. UH, WE HAVE AN INCREDIBLY GREAT PARTNERSHIP WITH, UH, JUPITER MEDICAL CENTER SO THAT WE DON'T WASTE ANY BLOOD, AND WE CAN EXCHANGE THAT BLOOD, UH, THROUGH THEM. UM, BUT WE CARRY IT ON A SINGLE VEHICLE. AGAIN, IT'S A PRECIOUS RESOURCE, AND WE DON'T, WE DON'T WANT IT. IT DOES EXPIRE RELATIVELY QUICKLY, SO WE HAVE TO EXCHANGE IT RAPIDLY. UM, AND SO THEY, THEY BRING THAT TO THE SCENE AS UPON REQUEST.

WONDERFUL. AND I DO, I JUST WANT TO SAY IT'S REALLY WONDERFUL TO SEE SO MUCH DATA COMING IN SO QUICKLY. I FEEL LIKE I'VE NEVER LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT OUR FIRE RESCUE SERVICES I HAVE FROM YOU IN THIS INSTANCE. DISPROVE PROTOCOLS, AS YOU SAID, ON SOME OF THIS, TO PROTECT OUR FIREFIGHTERS AND THEIR TIME AND, UM, TO MANAGE IT WELL. SO THANK YOU.

YEAH, VERY PROUD OF WHAT YOUR TEAM HAS ACCOMPLISHED FOR THE LAST 5 DAYS.

OVERALL, UH, RESPONSE TIMES, IT BEEN PRETTY COMPARABLE TO PALM BEACH COUNTY OR BETTER? YEAH, I'LL SAY, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE 5 DAYS WORTH OF DATA AT THIS POINT. UH, THOSE RESPONSE TIMES LOOK EXACTLY AS WE EXPECTED THEM TO LOOK. UH, I DO WANT TO QUALIFY, 5 DAYS ISN'T ENOUGH TO MAKE RIGHT, LOTS OF DECISIONS ON, BUT EARLY DATA SUGGESTS IT'S EXACTLY AS WE EXPECTED.

OKAY. AND THE PRE-EMPTIVE, UH, TRAFFIC SYSTEM, HAVE YOU EXERCISED IT DURING MAJOR RUSH HOUR ON ANY TOWN ROAD TO CLEAR THE ROADS? UH, I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT WE HAVE NOT, BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN RUNNING.

MM.

WE'VE BEEN BUSY, AND EVERY DAY THERE'S A, A MAJOR RUSH HOUR ON, ON INDIAN TOWN. SO I, I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT SPECIFICALLY THAT I WILL MAKE THE ASSUMPTION THAT YES, UH, I HAVE BEEN TOLD JUST TODAY, OUR BATTALION CHIEF CALLED ME AND SAID, MAN, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS TRAFFIC PREEMPTION IS REALLY AWESOME. I HAD A CALL, I HAD ALL GREEN LIGHTS THE WHOLE WAY, IT WAS PERFECT.

THAT'S GREAT. GLAD TO HEAR THAT, THOUGH. ANXIOUS NEXT MONTH TO GET ALL THE DATA, SO APPRECIATE IT. YOU AND YOUR TEAM, WHAT A GREAT JOB YOU'RE DOING, SO THANK YOU.

NO REAL QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVEN'T ALREADY CONVERSED ABOUT, BUT JUST WANTED TO KIND OF SHARE, UM, HOW DELIGHTED, UM, I AM AND MY FAMILY. UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN AN UNUSUAL 6 DAYS BECAUSE I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO OBSERVE MORE THAN I WOULD EVER NORMALLY OBSERVE. UH, WENT BY THE THREE STATIONS ON SUNDAY TO MEET THE C TEAM, UH, AND DID OBSERVE, YOU KNOW, DISPATCHES HAPPENING AT THAT TIME, AND INCLUDING STATION 12. IN FACT, UH, UH, COUNCILLOR GEISINGER, UH, WAS COMING BACK FROM THE DOG PARK, I THINK, WHEN WE WE WERE LEAVING STATION 12, AND WE WE DID OBSERVE, UH, YOU KNOW, VEHICLE, THE AMBULANCE, UH, ACTIVATING THE LIGHT, NOT TURNING THE SIREN ON UNTIL THEY GOT ON INDIANTOWN ROAD ON THAT ONE EVENT. UM, AND TODAY MY WIFE AND I HAD HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO BY THE HOSPITAL, NOT FOR ANY MEDICAL REASONS, UM, AND WE WERE DELIGHTED, UH, AS WE CIRCLED BEHIND AND SAW 2 JUPITER FIRE DEPARTMENT AMBULANCES BACK THEN IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM. UM, IT, I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW DELIGHTED WE WERE TO OBSERVE THAT, AND THEN, UH, WE WENT IN AND HAD A MEETING AND CAME BACK OUT, AND THERE WAS ANOTHER ONE THERE FROM STATION 10. SO, AS YOU REPORTED, UH, YOU'VE TRANSPORTED 75 PATIENTS.

I GUESS I NEVER REALIZED THAT TRANSPORTS HAPPENED AT THAT FREQUENCY, BUT UH, BUT IN ANY EVENT, UH, JUST SO GRATEFUL, UM, THAT UH, THE DECISION WAS MADE THAT WE DID, AND UH, INCREDIBLE PROFESSIONALISM AND WHAT WE OBSERVED WHEN WE WERE THERE, YOU KNOW, WEDNESDAY NIGHT, THURSDAY MORNING, AND THEN FOR THOSE

[00:20:01]

OF US HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO BACK AND AND OBSERVE, AND MY WIFE DID ACTUALLY MAKE A 911 CALL. SHE WAS GOING, UH, TO PICK UP MY GRANDDAUGHTER IN THE ALDI SHOPPING CENTER, AND SHE SAW AN OLDER PERSON WALKING, UH, NOT WELL, UM, HE WALKED JUST INSIDE OF ALDI'S AND THEN HIT THE GLASS, FELL DOWN, DIDN'T BREAK IT, BUT SHE HAPPENED TO MAKE THE 911 CALL. I'VE TALKED TO THE CHIEF ABOUT IT, BUT, UM, WE WOULD, SHE WAS DELIGHTED WHEN IT GOT TO THE DISPATCH, UH, NORCOM, HOW HELPFUL THEY WERE AFTER THE TEAM WAS DISPATCHED.

UH, THEY WERE GIVEN GUIDANCE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, FIRST AID ON THE SCENE AND WHATEVER.

UM, SO IN ANY EVENT, IT WAS JUST UNUSUAL THAT WE WOULD HAVE HAD THAT EXPERIENCE, UH, BUT JUST AN AWESOME JOB. UH, I'D SAY IT WENT ON, IT'S GONE FLAWLESS, BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I GOT ONE LAST QUESTION. ARE ALL THE BAY DOORS NOW PAINTED RED? UH.

THAT'S WHEN I WAS AT THE DOG PARK ON SUNDAY, I WAS UP TALKING TO THE PAINTERS AND SOME OF THE FIREFIGHTERS THAT THEY WERE PAINTING THE DOORS RED, SO.

YEAH, I, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE ALL DONE YET. I KNOW THEY'RE WORKING ON IT. I, I, UH, I JUST DON'T KNOW THAT ANSWER.

ROGER MIGHT KNOW. I DON'T KNOW.

STILL WORKING.

STILL WORKING ON IT. THERE YOU GO. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. SO NOW WE'RE MOVING ON TO CITIZEN COMMENTS. DO WE HAVE ANY? MAYOR, WE HAVE ONE CARD, UM,

[CITIZEN COMMENTS ]

KIMBERLY VANDERPOOL.

READY? HELLO. CAN YOU HEAR ME? YEAH.

MY NAME IS KIMBERLY VANDERPOOL. I LIVE AT 209 RIVER TERRACE DRIVE IN JUPITER. I WANTED TO SHARE, UM, A STORY OF MY EXPERIENCE AS A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER AND HOW IT RELATES TO A GREATER TREND THAT IS OCCURRING WITH REGARDS TO CORPORATE LANDLORDS, UM, BUYING UP COMMERCIAL PLAZAS.

UM, I'M A LIFELONG JUPITER RESIDENT. BACK IN 2018, MY CHILDHOOD GIRLFRIEND AND I WERE LOOKING TO OPEN A SMALL BUSINESS, AND WE LOOKED AT A NUMBER OF PLAZAS IN JUPITER. UM, WE WERE INTERESTED AND SHOWN 2 UNITS INSIDE THE SHOPS AT JUPITER. UM, WE WENT BACK AND FORTH ABOUT THE PRICE FOR RENT AND THE SIZE OF THE UNITS, AND AS SOON AS THEY FOUND OUT THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE FIRST-TIME, UH, BUSINESS OWNERS, THEY STOPPED RESPONDING TO US. UH, WE WENT ON TO OPEN OUR SMALL BUSINESS IN THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA.

SINCE THAT TIME, THOSE 2 UNITS THAT WE LOOKED AT HAVE SAT COMPLETELY EMPTY.

SO ONE OF THE POINTS I WANTED TO POINT OUT IS, UH, PERHAPS THE COUNCIL WOULD CONSIDER SOME SORT OF, UM, VACANCY TAX ON COMMERCIAL PLAZAS, BECAUSE THERE'S NO REASON FOR, UM, SPACES TO SIT EMPTY IN PLAZAS HERE IN JUPITER.

UM, ANOTHER POINT, UM, THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TO MAKE IS THAT WITH THAT PLAZA SPECIFICALLY, OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, I'VE NOTICED SMALL BUSINESSES HAVE LEFT, AND NOW THE ONLY BUSINESSES THAT CAN AFFORD TO MOVE IN ARE, UH, BIG NATIONAL CHAINS. ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION, CLOSE TO 70% OF DOLLARS SPENT IN SMALL BUSINESSES STAY WITHIN THE LOCAL ECONOMY, AS OPPOSED TO ONLY 43%, UH, OF, UH, NATIONAL BIG CHAINS.

HOPEFULLY I DON'T HAVE TO CONVINCE ANYBODY HERE THE IMPORTANCE OF SMALL BUSINESSES. THEY'RE THE BACKBONE OF THIS COUNTRY. I SAY THIS ALL TO POINT OUT THE TREND THAT I'M NOTICING OF, UM, COMMERCIAL LANDLORDS BUYING UP PLAZAS AND INCREASING THE RENTS TO PRICES THAT SMALL BUSINESSES CAN NO LONGER AFFORD. JUPITER IS SUCH A CHARMING PLACE WITH SO MUCH CHARACTER. IT'S, UM, A VERY UNIQUE TOWN, AND I WOULD HATE FOR IT TO BE HOMOGENIZED BY BIG NATIONAL CHAINS MOVING IN AND SMALL BUSINESSES LEAVING OR NOT EVEN HAVING THE CHANCE TO EVER EVEN START. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT.

AND THAT WAS IT? YES, SIR.

OKAY, COUNCIL, WE HAVE

[9. Resolution 72-26, Quasi-Judicial, Shoppes at Jupiter – Site Plan Amendment, 101 N. US Highway One (Continued from 7/21/26). ]

TO THE REGULAR AGENDA, UH, ITEM 9, RESOLUTION 726. THIS IS QUASI-JUDICIAL. DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY EX PARTE DISCLOSURES? I HAD ONE CALL, UH, WITH THE APPLICANT TO DISCUSS ELEVATIONS. LAST WEEK.

I ALSO HAD A CALL TO DISCUSS THE PRESENTATION.

NONE.

I ALSO HAD A CALL TO DISCUSS THE PRESENTATION.

SO I HAD, UM, THREE TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS WITH, UH, MR. KEN TUMA ON JULY 31ST, WE HAD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE TRUCK ACCESS AND ROUNDABOUT COSTS. ON AUGUST 27TH, WE HAD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT TRUCK ACCESS, IN MY FIRM OPINION, THAT IT IS DESIGN FEASIBLE, UH, TO LIMIT TRUCK ACCESS TO US 1.

AND THEN ON OCTOBER 2ND, WE HAD, UH, I HAD A FINAL CONVERSATION AGAIN ABOUT ROUNDABOUT COSTS AND, UH, A TOWN SHARE. AND, UH, SO WITH THAT, I'D ASK, UH, UH, THOSE THAT WILL BE PROVIDING, UH, POTENTIALLY PROVIDING ANY TESTIMONY TO STAND AND BE SWORN IN.

PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

DO YOU SOLEMNLY SWEAR THAT THE TESTIMONY YOU'RE ABOUT TO GIVE IN THIS HEARING IS THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH? OKAY, I TURN OVER THE APPLICANT, UH, TO PRESENT. THANK YOU. THAT'LL BE TRUE. YOU HAVE TO JUMP AROUND THE WINDOW.

YEAH, MAYBE THAT WOULDN'T BE A BAD IDEA. I DON'T KNOW WHY. IF YOU WANT, IT'S RIGHT HERE, IF YOU DARE PLUG IT IN.

IS THIS IT? I CAN GO ABOUT GRAPHICS TOO, IF YOU'D LIKE.

NO, IT'S OKAY, WE'LL... OKAY, THANK YOU. THANK YOU, GUYS.

IT'S NOT READING THAT. OH, GEEZ LOUISE. THERE YOU GO.

PERFECT. THANK YOU. OKAY, NOW HOLD ON. DON'T LET ME GO ANYWHERE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, SO, UH, GOOD EVENING, KEN TUMA WITH URBAN DESIGN STUDIO.

THANK YOU FOR OUR HELP WITH THE TECHNOLOGY.

APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S TIME TONIGHT. IF YOU RECALL, I WAS HERE IN FRONT OF YOU ON JULY 21ST, WHERE YOU POSTPONED THIS ITEM TO TODAY'S AGENDA, AND YOU GAVE US FOUR SPECIFIC TASKS TO, UH, WORK ON. I'VE WORKED ON WITH OUR CLIENT, YOUR STAFF, IN THE EACH, AND THEN THE MEMBERS OF THIS TOWN COUNCIL, AND AND EVERYONE HERE TO TRY TO COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS FOR THOSE 4 ITEMS. I BELIEVE WE HAVE FOUND THOSE SOLUTIONS.

UM, I AM JUST GONNA JUMP, UNLESS THE, UNLESS THE TOWN COUNCIL WANTS SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY, I'M GONNA JUMP RIGHT TO THOSE 4 ITEMS THAT WERE POSTPONED, THAT WE WERE SPECIFICALLY GIVEN TO DISCUSS. ONE

[00:30:01]

OF THEM IS ARCHITECTURE, THE OTHER ONE WAS MODIFICATION TO THE BOUNDARY WALL. THAT WAS AN ITEM BROUGHT UP BY OUR NEIGHBORS AT OCEAN PARKS. THE THIRD ONE WAS A TRANSPORTATION ISSUE ON CIRCULATION OFF OF INDIAN TOWN ROAD, AND THE FOURTH ONE WAS A COST SHARING. SO THOSE ARE FOUR ITEMS. I'M GOING TO START WITH ARCHITECTURE FIRST. UM, I BELIEVE THAT COUNCILMEMBER SUNDSTROM, YOU HAD SAID SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT. YOU HAD MENTIONED BE UNIQUELY JUPITER. SO WE PUT OUR ARCHITECT, MR. WEBER, ON THAT TASK, AND HE HAS CHANGED THE DESIGN A LITTLE BIT. HE'S MADE IT MORE WARM AND NATURAL. THE WHITE GRAYS HAVE NOW BEEN CHANGED TO A WARM, DARK BEIGE. THE BASE, THE BASE WALLS HAVE CHANGED FROM COOL GRAY CEMENT TO A BEIGE SAND LOOK. WE'VE ALSO ADDED IN WOOD-LIKE MATERIALS ON THE FACADES. SO ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU IS THE NEW PROPOSED ELEVATION.

YOU'LL NOTICE THE DIFFERENTIAL IN COLORS. AND THEN HERE ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU, ON THE LEFT SIDE WAS THE ORIGINAL, UH, THE ORIGINAL ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS. ON THE RIGHT SIDE ARE THE NEW PROPOSED ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS. AND THEN ON THE TOP WAS THE INITIAL ONE THAT WE CAME IN FRONT OF YOU.

ON THE BOTTOM IS THE ONE THAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU THIS EVENING AFTER WORKING WITH YOUR STAFF. MOST IMPORTANT PART IS IT'S A WARMER COLOR PALETTE, PALETTE, AND WE'VE DONE SOME OTHER CHANGES TO THE SITE. SO THAT IS THE ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENT. I HAVE OUR ARCHITECT HERE, MR. WEBER IS HERE IF WE'D LIKE TO DISCUSS IT INDIVIDUALLY, OR IF WE'D LIKE TO CONTINUE ON WITH THE PRESENTATION AS A WHOLE. HAPPY TO BRING UP MR. WEBER IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, OR IF YOU LIKE, I CAN CONTINUE DOWN ON THE PRESENTATION.

CONTINUE. THANK YOU. SO THE NEXT ITEM, THE NEXT ITEM IS THE CONDITION THAT WAS REQUESTED FROM OUR NEIGHBORS AT OCEAN PARK. INITIALLY, WE HAD PROPOSED TO REMOVE 30 FEET OF THE WALL. IF YOU RECALL, THERE IS A WALL THAT SEPARATES OCEAN PARK AND THE BACK OF THE CENTER. JUST SO YOU KNOW, WE ARE ADDING LANDSCAPING.

THERE IS A HEDGE GOING IN ON THIS SIDE. ON THIS SIDE, WE'RE ADDING SOME TREES WHERE WE CAN AROUND THE POWER LINES, BUT WE'RE GOING TO BE REMOVING, WE INITIALLY REQUESTED TO REMOVE 30 FEET OF THAT WALL. BASED ON THE SUGGESTION, WE'RE GOING TO REMOVE 10 FEET OF THAT WALL BECAUSE THEY NEED IT FOR VISUAL. THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHEN THEY'RE PULLING THEIR CARS UP. THE SECOND 20 FEET, THE WALL IS GOING TO BE LOWERED FROM ITS CURRENT POSITION DOWN TO 30 INCHES, AND THAT'S, UH, CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE'VE WORKED OUT WITH YOUR ENGINEER, OUR ENGINEER, TO MAKE SURE THE LINE OF SIGHTS ARE THERE. SO WE, WE'VE CLOSED THAT ISSUE, UM, AND I KNOW THAT WILL BE SUPPORTED BY OUR NEIGHBORS.

THE NEXT ITEM IN FRONT OF YOU IS THE ELONGATED ROUNDABOUT AND THE CIRCULATION. THIS IS THE ELONGATED ROUNDABOUT THAT WAS IN FRONT OF YOU LAST TIME, WORKING WITH STAFF AND THE ENGINEERING TEAM. THIS IS A NEW ELONGATED ROUNDABOUT. YOU'LL NOTE THE BIG DIFFERENTIAL HERE IS THERE'S A MID-BLOCK CROSSING, A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF IT. BUT THE BIG ITEM THAT WE WERE DISCUSSING IN DETAIL WAS HOW DO THE TRUCKS CIRCULATE AROUND THE CENTER? AND WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME WORKING ON THAT CIRCULATION, UM, AND HOW IT WOULD WORK. THE WORD THAT I HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR, DON'T HAVE TRUCKS ACCESS OFF INDIAN TOWN ROAD. TRUCKS WILL NOT BE ACCESSING OFF INDIAN TOWN ROAD. WE HAVE WORKED WITH THE CENTER, WE'VE WORKED WITH THE TENANTS. THOSE TRUCKS WILL BE ACCESSING OFF OF US 1. THEY'LL BE GOING AROUND THE BACK OF THE CENTER. NOW, THE DID- THIS DID REQUIRE US TO REMOVE ABOUT 17 PARKING SPOTS FROM THE REAR TO BE A MAKE SURE THAT THAT TRUCK MOVEMENT WAS SAFE. SO WE'VE REMOVED THOSE PARKING SPOTS. NOW THAT THEN HAD SOME EFFECT ON OUR, UH, MOVIE THEATER. WE HAD TO REMOVE ADDITIONAL SEATS IN THE MOVIE THEATER. I THINK WE ALL KNOW THAT THOSE SEATS AREN'T REALLY BEING USED IN THE MOVIE THEATER, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, OUR CLIENT HAS WORKED DILIGENTLY WITH THE, UH, WITH THE MOVIE THEATER TO REMOVE THOSE SEATS, AND THERE WE'VE ACCEPTED A CONDITION OF APPROVAL TO REMOVE 76 SEATS. SO WE'VE WORKED REALLY HARD TO COME UP WITH THE SOLUTION. IT'S BEEN REVIEWED BY THE TENANTS WHO WILL BE OCCUPYING THE SPACE.

THOSE 2 TENANTS ARE REPLACING, UH, BELLS AND STAPLES, AND THEY, BOTH OF THEM HAVE REVIEWED AND LOOKED VERY DILIGENTLY AT THIS AND AGREE WITH THIS MOTION. SO THERE'LL BE NO VEHICLE, NO TRUCK TRAFFIC, UH, NO SEMI-TRUCK TRAFFIC ON INDIANTOWN ROAD. SO THAT'S KIND OF THE THIRD BIG ITEM. THE FOURTH ITEM THAT WE WENT OVER WAS REALLY KIND OF THE COST SHARING ELEMENT OF, THE COST SHARING ELEMENT OF THIS. AND SO, THE COST SHARING ELEMENT, JUST TO KIND OF WALK YOU THROUGH A LITTLE BIT. FIRST THING, THE ELONGATED ROUNDABOUT. WE ARE REQUIRED, AND WE'VE AGREED BY CONDITION OF APPROVAL, THAT WE WILL PROVIDE THE EASEMENTS THAT ARE REQUIRED. WE WILL PROVIDE THE CONSTRUCTION EASEMENTS THAT WILL, ARE REQUIRED. UM, THE DEVELOPER AND THE TOWN ON OUR PREVIOUS APPROVAL WORKED ON SOMETHING CALLED A PROPORTIONATE SHARE. WHAT IS YOUR FAIR SHARE OF THIS CONSTRUCTION PROJECT? YOUR TOWN AND OUR ENGINEER AGREED THAT THE FAIR SHARE IS 12.8%, RECOGNIZING THAT EQUATES TO 189,000 DOLLARS. NOW, I KNOW DURING YOUR CRA MEETING YOU HAD A DISCUSSION

[00:35:01]

ABOUT WHAT THE COST OF THIS IMPROVEMENT WOULD BE, AND IT INCREASED TO 1.5 MILLION DOLLARS BECAUSE OF THE ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING.

OUR CLIENT, BEING A GOOD CORPORATE CITIZEN, IS PREPARED TO AND HAS PROFFERED A CONDITION THAT IS IN THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER TO MAKE A PAYMENT OF A HALF A MILLION DOLLARS OR 500,000 DOLLARS TO THIS. THAT IS 260% ABOVE THE PROPORTIONATE FAIR SHARE. SO I JUST WANT TO ADDRESS A FEW OTHER ITEMS ON THIS. IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE A LOT OF QUESTIONS HAVE COME INTO PLAY ABOUT THIS ITEM.

FIRST THING, THE VALUE OF THE CENTER. IN 2025, THAT CENTER'S VALUE, APPRAISED VALUE OFF THE COUNTY'S WEB PAGE, WAS 29 MILLION DOLLARS. TODAY, THE APPRAISED VALUE OF THAT IS 41 MILLION DOLLARS. WHAT I DO RECOGNIZE IS THAT WILL INCREASE THE FUNDS BOTH TO THE TOWN, BUT ALSO IT SHOWS THAT THIS CENTER WILL BE INCREASING VALUE ALONG THE WAY AND THEREBY GENERATE MORE OPERATING INCOME, WHICH I RECOGNIZE THAT MOST OF IT GOES TO YOUR CRA IN THIS CASE BECAUSE OF THE UNDERLYING STRIKE PRICE.

SO THAT IS WHERE WE ARE ON THAT ITEM. SO I'M GOING TO GO QUICKLY IN CLOSING, BECAUSE YOU'VE PUT ME ON THESE 4 SPECIFIC TASKS. SO IN CLOSING, FIRST THING, THIS IS AN UPDATE TO A CENTER THAT'S UNDERUTILIZED TODAY. WE HOPE THAT THESE 2 TENANTS WILL INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF UTILIZATION IN THE CENTER, WHICH WILL ENCOURAGE OTHER BUSINESSES, INCLUDING SMALL BUSINESSES, AS TRAFFIC, AS UH, HEADCOUNT INCREASES TO THE CENTER. WE BELIEVE THAT OUR CLIENT HAS DONE A GREAT JOB ON OUTREACH. WE HAVE MET WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF, OF OCEAN PARKS. WE HAVE HAD A COMMUNITY MEETING WITH OCEAN PARKS. WE HAVE UH, HAD ANOTHER MEETING WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

WE HAVE DONE OUR, OUR HOMEWORK ON OUTREACH. WE HAVE DONE OTHER IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CENTER, WHICH I BROUGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR ATTENTION LAST TIME, BUT JUST TO REMIND EVERYBODY, WE'RE REMOVING THE EXOTICS FROM THE MANGROVES. WE'VE UPDATED STORMWATER. TODAY, THAT STORMWATER SYSTEM DRAINS DIRECTLY INTO THAT MANGROVE.

THERE'S NO FILTRATION SYSTEM.

AS PART OF THIS APPROVAL, WE'RE AGREEING TO A CONDITION TO INSTALL THAT FILTRATION SYSTEM, SO NOW YOU'LL HAVE FILTRATED WATER GOING OUT INTO THAT MANGROVE. UM, WE ARE UPGRADING THE LANDSCAPING.

THERE'S LANDSCAPING IMPROVEMENTS SURROUNDING THE CENTER, PLANTERS, THERE'S NEW LANDSCAPING AT BOTH ENTRANCE POINTS, AND THEN ALSO THROUGHOUT THE CENTER. ARCHITECTURAL UPDATE, I THINK WE'VE DONE A NICE JOB.

WE LISTENED ON THE ARCHITECTURAL, AT LEAST I HOPE WE LISTENED ON THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN, AND MR. WEBER'S HERE, CAN SPECIFICALLY DISCUSS ANY MATTERS OF THAT.

FROM A COST SHARING STANDPOINT, WE'VE INCREASED OUR COST SHARING, UH, FAIRLY SIGNIFICANTLY, AND, UH, WE HAVE JUST A MINOR CONDITION OF APPROVAL THAT I'D LIKE TO WALK THROUGH WITH YOU. IT'S JUST A VERY MINOR CONDITION THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE CHANGED, AND THAT MINOR CONDITION OF APPROVAL IS IN REGARDS TO OUTDOOR, IS REGARDS TO THE OUTDOOR SEATING AREA HAVING COVERING. THIS CAME UP AS A COMMENT AT YOUR PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD. THAT COMMENT WAS, CAN YOU MAKE, UH, OUTDOOR COVER, OUTDOOR, THE OUTDOOR COVERING AREA FOR THE SEATING AREAS WITH SUCH TREATMENTS THAT MAY INCLUDE A CANOPY, AWNING, TRELLIS, SHADE STRUCTURE, AND OTHER DESIGN ELEMENTS. WE HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. THE PROBLEM WE HAVE WITH IS THE WORD PERMANENT. WE WANT TO HAVE FLEXIBILITY BOTH NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. ALL RIGHT, THAT'S MY SHORT PRESENTATION. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I LEFT PLENTY OF TIME LEFT OVER, AND HAPPY TO GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE PRESENTATION IF YOU NEED TO BE, IF YOU WANT TO SEE ANYTHING ON THE SITE.

THANK YOU. SO, TURN IT OVER TO TOWN STAFF.

GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.

FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS JENNA JOHNSTON, AND I'M WITH PLANNING AND ZONING. UH, THE APPLICATION FOR CONSIDERATION TONIGHT, AS DISCUSSED, IS A SITE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR SHOPS AT JUPITER TO REVISE THEIR ARCHITECTURAL ELEVATIONS, ADD AN ENCLOSED LOADING DOCK, RECONFIGURE A PORTION OF THE PARKING LOT, AND MODIFY THEIR USES. UM, AS DISCUSSED, THIS WAS PRESENTED TO YOU, UH, IN JULY, AT WHICH TIME THE ITEM WAS CONTINUED AND I, AND 4 KEY ISSUES WERE IDENTIFIED TO BE RESOLVED.

UM, THE APPLICANT WENT THROUGH THEM, BUT JUST TO REITERATE, ONE OF THE CONDITIONS WAS MODIFYING THE ARCHITECTURAL ELEVATIONS, WHICH THE APPLICANT HAS DONE TO INCORPORATE A WARMER FINISH AND MATERIALS THAT BETTER REFLECT THE SITE'S PROXIMITY TO THE BEACH. THERE HAD BEEN A CONCERN IDENTIFIED BY A NEIGHBORING RESIDENT REGARDING THE COMPLETE REMOVAL OF APPROXIMATELY 30 FEET OF THE BOUNDARY WALL. THE APPLICANT WORKED WITH THE TOWN'S TRAFFIC ENGINEER AND REVISED THE SITE PLAN TO ONLY REMOVE 10 FEET OF THE WALL AND REDUCE IN HEIGHT 20 FEET. REMOVAL OF A PORTION AND DECREASING IN HEIGHT A PORTION WAS RECOMMENDED TO IMPROVE CIRCULATION AND SAFETY AT THAT DRIVEWAY POINT, UH, MERGE POINT BETWEEN THE SHOPPING PLAZA AND THE CHURCH AND RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY.

THERE WERE CONCERNS EXPRESSED REGARDING SEMI-TRUCK ACCESS INTO THE PLAZA, SPECIFICALLY FROM A1A.

TO ADDRESS SEMI-TRUCK ACCESS,

[00:40:01]

THE SITE PLAN HAS BEEN REVISED TO ALLOW FOR TRUCKS TO ENTER AND EXIT FROM THE SIGNAL AT US 1, WITH THE REMOVAL OF PARKING SPACES ON THE REAR OF THE PLAZA.

WITH THIS REVISION, SEMI-TRUCKS DO NOT NEED TO UTILIZE A1A OR INDIANTOWN ROAD, AND A CONDITION HAS BEEN INCLUDED TO REQUIRE SEMI-TRUCKS ENTER AND EXIT THE PLAZA FROM US 1. THE FOURTH ISSUE RELATED TO THE APPLICANT'S FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE ACCESS IMPROVEMENT, AND SINCE THE JULY MEETING, THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO INCREASE THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO 500,000 DOLLARS. STAFF REVIEWED THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST AND DETERMINED THE PROPOSED IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WILL MEET THE REGULATIONS OF THE TOWN CODE, SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL INCLUDED IN RESOLUTION 7226. CHANGES TO THE CONDITIONS SINCE THE JULY MEETING HAVE BEEN REFLECTED IN STRIKE THROUGH AND UNDERLINE IN THE STAFF REPORT, AND A CLEAN COPY HAS ALSO BEEN PROVIDED, UM, AS ATTACHMENT 1.

THE APPLICANT HAS EXPRESSED CONCERNS WITH CONDITION 3A RELATING TO THE COVERING OVER THE OUTDOOR SEATING AREA.

PURSUANT TO THE TOWN CODE, THE PROVISION OF ANY TYPE OF COVERING OVER THE OUTDOOR SEATING AREA IS SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE SITE PLAN AMENDMENT PROCESS. IN THE CASE THAT THE OWNER WISHES TO CHANGE THE USE OR LOOK OF THE AREA IN THE FUTURE, THEY COULD REQUEST A SITE PLAN AMENDMENT, WHICH IS NOT INCONSISTENT WITH THE CONDITION. UH, WITH THAT, I'LL CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. UM, I'M GONNA GO SEQUENTIALLY TO ASK IF COUNSELORS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF, THE APPLICANT.

UM, YES, I DO HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS.

UM, LET'S START WITH THE ARCHITECTURE AND THE CHANGES YOU'VE ON TO THE FUTURE SHOPS THAT YOU'RE WORKING WITH. WILL THE REST OF THE PLAZA TAKE ON THE LOOK OF THESE TWO TENANTS, OR IS IT, IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN THAT TO ME, RIGHT NOW THEY'RE ALL A DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURAL LOOK ON THE EXTERIOR.

UNDERSTOOD. I'M GOING TO ADDRESS MR. WEBER, ADDRESS THAT, BUT THE SHORT ANSWER IS YES, EXCEPT THE MOVIE THEATER, AND I'LL LET MR. WEBER ADDRESS THE BALANCE.

GOOD EVENING. BOB WEBER, MWAA ARCHITECTURE. UM, I APOLOGIZE FOR MY VOICE, BUT UH, UH, YES, THE, THE, THE DESIGN THEME IS CARRIED THROUGH THE BALANCE OF THE SHOPPING CENTER IN TERMS OF COLORS, MATERIALS, AND FINISHES.

OKAY, EXCELLENT. AND IS THAT SOMETHING YOU'RE GOING TO DO OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, UM, OR IS THAT GOING TO START CONCURRENTLY WITH THE INTENT IS, I, I BELIEVE THE INTENT IS THAT IT, IT'S DONE, UM, INITIALLY WITH THE SHOPPING CENTER OKAY.

AND THEN, AND THEN CONTINUE ON.

OKAY, THANK YOU. UM, REGARDING THE STORMWATER UPGRADES, WILL THAT INCLUDE THE ENTIRE PARKING LOT ITSELF? BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THE POOLING OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE BETWEEN CHASE RIGHT.

AND MCDONALD'S.

YEAH, SO, SO, SO WHEN RAM BOUGHT THE SHOPPING CENTER, WHICH BY THE WAY THEY BOUGHT AT THE END AT 2025, ONE OF THEY RECOGNIZED THAT THE STORMWATER, THE PIPES WERE CLOGGED. I MEAN, JUST PUT IT POINT BLANK, NO ONE HAS MAINTAINED THAT CENTER FOR YEARS. THE PIPES ARE CLOGGED. THEY HAVE SINCE JETTED THE PIPES, WORKING WITH YOUR TOWN STAFF, SO THAT SHOULD RESOLVE THAT ISSUE. THE STORMWATER IMPROVEMENT IS GOING TO BE ON THE DISCHARGE SIDE WHERE, WHERE THE PIPE GOES OUT, AND IT'S GOING TO CREATE A FILTRATION SYSTEM TO HELP CLEAN THAT WATER AS IT GOES OUT.

THAT, THAT'S EXCELLENT. I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT. UM, FUTURE SHOPS ITSELF, I, OUR, UM, RESIDENT TONIGHT SPOKE ABOUT SMALL BUSINESS. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE QUESTION TO ASK, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW YOUR. OR WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO ATTRACT SMALL BUSINESSES TO STAY THERE? OUR RESIDENTS HAVE AN AFFINITY RIGHT NOW, AS WE KNOW, TO BELL'S. UM, THE PARKING LOT IS NOT BUSY. WE KNOW WE NEED SOME, UM, ANCHOR TENANTS. INTERNET SHOPPING HAS CHANGED EVERYTHING, SO YOUR TENANTS HOPEFULLY WILL BE CHANGING THAT FROM CLOTHING TO FOOD AND BEVERAGE. THAT BEING SAID, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SAY TO OUR TENANTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO ATTRACT FUTURE SMALL BUSINESS SURE.

AND THAT THAT WILL STAY.

AND AND WE HAVE RAM HERE WHO CAN GET INTO MORE DETAILS, BUT JUST ON THE BIG PICTURE, BY HAVING THE 2 NEW TENANTS, WE'LL, WE'LL UPGRADE THE CENTER, MEANING MORE PEOPLE WILL COME TO THE CENTER AND UTILIZE THAT.

THEREFORE, THERE'LL BE MORE DEMAND FOR THOSE SMALLER SHOPS THAT HAVE BEEN VACANT FOR A REALLY LONG TIME AT THE END OF THE DAY. UM, I CAN'T ADDRESS SPECIFICALLY TENANTS' NAMES, BUT NO, NO, NO, I DON'T EXPECT TO.

I HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION, MA'AM.

YEAH, I, I JUST NEEDED THAT COMFORT LEVEL. OVER WHERE PARISIAN IS RIGHT NOW, THAT OUTDOOR AREA AND THE PERMANENT VERSUS WHAT ELSE IS NOT PERMANENT.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE? SURE, AND, AND I MEAN, I THINK OF OUR CLIENTS WITH, SO WE JUST WANT THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THINGS AROUND AS TIME CHANGES AND AS TENANTS, NO ONE KNOWS 5 YEARS FROM NOW WHO'S GOING TO BE THE TENANT THERE. I, I CAN'T ANSWER THAT, YOU CAN'T ANSWER THAT. SO WE JUST WANT THAT FLEXIBILITY TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THINGS AROUND, TO BE ABLE TO HAVE, SO IT'S NOT PERMANENTLY ATTACHED. SO IT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT IS A TRELLIS FEATURE THAT MAY NOT BE ATTACHED TO THE BUILDING. IT MAY BE AN AWNING, AN AWNING WOULD BE ATTACHED TO THE BUILDING. THEY, THEY JUST WANT FLEXIBILITY. THEY'RE NOT DISAGREEING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING, IT'S JUST THE ABILITY TO BE MORE FLEXIBLE WITH IT.

[00:45:06]

THEN ON THE ROUNDABOUT, ALL OF THE FUTURE TENANTS WILL HAVE TO ADHERE TO THE SAME POLICY THAT THEIR TRUCKS WILL ENTER ON US.

GLAD YOU ANSWERED THAT QUESTION. THANK YOU, UH, SO VICE MAYOR. SO YES, UH, THE, THE, THE, THE TODAY, THE, THE, THE, THE ALL THE TRUCKS WILL BE REQUIRED IN THEIR LEASES TO, OR WILL BE REQUIRED TO GO OFF OF US1. NOW THAT'S THE NEW TENANTS, UM, AND GOING FORWARD, AND THEY'VE ALSO MADE THAT AGREEMENT WITH THE TWO LARGER BOXES, THE LARGER TENANTS THAT ARE COMING IN. SO IT, IT IS OFFICIAL.

IT'S A CONDITION OF APPROVAL.

WE HAVE TO LIVE BY IT. THE GOOD NEWS IS YOU HAVE A SHOPPING CENTER OWNER WHO IS LOCAL.

THEY LIVE HERE. RAM IS BASED OUT OF PALM BEACH GARDENS.

UH, I KNOW BRIAN LIVES IN THE TOWN, OTHER PEOPLE LIVE IN THE TOWN WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITY. SO THEY LIVE HERE, THEY RECOGNIZE THEY HAVE A CONDITION OF APPROVAL, AND THEY WILL ENFORCE THAT CONDITION OF APPROVAL. WHEREAS THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A, UM, AN INVESTOR IN REAL ESTATE, WHERE THIS IS AN ACTIVE SHOPPING CENTER.

AND THEN A QUICK QUESTION ON THAT ROUNDABOUT. WILL REGULAR VEHICLES BE ABLE TO, TO MAKE THAT TURN IN? SO THERE IT'S GONNA BE, IT'S GOING TO HAVE SIGNAGE THAT SAYS NO.

PERSON.

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT I SAW.

CANNOT TAKE A LEFT TURN TO THE SHOPPING CENTER.

SO THAT'S GOING TO BE FOR EVERYBODY.

THAT'S GOING TO BE FOR EVERYBODY WHEN THAT GETS CONSTRUCTED, YES, MA'AM.

NOW, CAN I TELL YOU PEOPLE AREN'T GOING TO DO IT? YEAH.

YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, BUT IT WILL, IT WILL DETER THAT.

AND YOU SEE, DO YOU SEE ANY ISSUES IF THE BRIDGE IS UP WITH BACKUP OF TRAFFIC OR ANYTHING THAT COULD CREATE? I THINK WHAT WE HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR LAST TIME IS IF YOU GET THE TRUCKS ON US 1, THAT THAT WOULD HELP ELIMINATE POTENTIAL ISSUES WITH THAT, AND I THINK THAT WILL SOLVE IT. I DO WANT TO SAY, THOUGH, THE AMOUNT OF TRUCK TRAFFIC, I KNOW WE ALL THINK OF TRUCK TRAFFIC AS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT. TODAY, BASICALLY, BELL'S HAS 2 TO 3 DELIVERIES A WEEK. THE WHOLE FOODS WILL HAVE 1 TRUCK A DAY OR 7, 7 DELIVERIES A WEEK IS GENERALLY HOW IT WORKS. SO, BUT YES, I THINK THAT BRINGING IT OFF A US1 WILL BE MORE, UH, EFFECTIVE.

AND WOULD YOU SAY TOTAL WINES WOULD BE COMPARABLE TO THE TRUCK? TOTAL WINES, WE JUST WENT OVER THIS A FEW MINUTES AGO, AND I WANT TO SAY IT WAS 3...

03, 3 A WEEK IS WHAT GENERALLY.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO TELL ME 3 A DAY. I'M GOING, OOH, NO, ALCOHOL.

NO, NO, NO, NO, THAT'S A LOT OF DRINKING, RIGHT? SO, YEAH, REALLY.

UH, BUT YEAH, NO, I THINK THE BOTTLE OF WINE, I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT WORKS.

YES, MA'AM.

YEAH, UH, YOU COVERED SOME OF MY QUESTIONS. UM, WHY WAS THE MOVIE THEATER EXCLUDED FROM THE, THE UPGRADE? SURE, YEAH, SO THEY IS IT A BRANDING THING? YEAH, I MEAN, SO WE DID ACCEPT THE CONDITION TO REPAINT THEM IN THE FUTURE. HERE'S THE CHALLENGE. IT'S A TENANT LANDLORD RELATIONSHIP, AND OF COURSE, MR. MALONEY CAN ANSWER THIS BETTER THAN I CAN.

THEY DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT, THE LANDLORD DOESN'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THAT TODAY. HOWEVER, AND OVER THE COURSE, I BELIEVE WE COMMITTED TO PAINT THE CENTER, UH, IT'S A CONDITION OF APPROVAL. I'M SORRY, I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT IT IS OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, AND I DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU WRONG, BUT WE AGREED TO PAINT THIS, PAINT THAT AREA WITHIN A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD. I WANT TO SAY IT WAS WITHIN A YEAR, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE, MAYBE 2028.

IT'S A CONDITION OF APPROVAL IN THIS PAPERWORK. SOMEONE WILL TELL ME WHAT IT IS.

RIGHT, OKAY. AND THE, UM, SO THE, THE, THE STORMWATER SYSTEM YOU SAID WAS CLOGGED FOR YEARS. YOU'RE GOING TO PUT SOME SORT OF A FILTRATION SYSTEM IN? YES, SIR.

UM, WHO MAINTAINS THAT AND.

THE, THE SHOPPING CENTER IS REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN IT, AND THEY WILL, THEY WERE, AND THAT'S THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN THAT FILTRATION SYSTEM, AND IT WILL BE ACTIVELY MANAGED, UNLIKE A TYPICAL STORMWATER SYSTEM WHERE YOU KIND OF FORGET ABOUT IT.

BECAUSE THE UNIQUENESS OF THAT FILTRATION SYSTEM THAT MR. LAU AND THE TOWN ENGINEERS COME IN, IT DOES REQUIRE ACTIVE MAINTENANCE, AND THEY WILL BE REQUIRED.

THINK OF IT LIKE YOUR AIR CONDITIONER AT YOUR HOUSE.

MM-HMM.

YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE FILTER.

OBVIOUSLY A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN THAT, RIGHT.

BUT THEY ARE REQUIRED TO DO THAT.

IS IT A, IS IT A FAIRLY LARGE SYSTEM? IS IT? I, NOW WE'RE GETTING ABOVE MY PAY GRADE. UH, I COULD DEFER TO MR. LAU, BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS THERE IS A BOX SET, AND THEN THERE'S A FILTRATION SYSTEM PLACED INTO IT. LIKE, IN MY MIND, IT'S AN AIR CONDITIONED FILTER, BUT I KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE.

OKAY, AND IT'S SOMEBODY'S MAINTAINED.

YES.

REGULARLY. OKAY. UH, THAT'S IT FOR NOW. THANK YOU.

COUNCILLOR SUNDSTROM.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT QUESTION ABOUT THE NEW AND FUTURE TENANTS AND TRUCKS USING, UM, ROUTE 1, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT, COUNCILLOR CHOY.

UM, IF I, THE ROUNDABOUT, WE HAVE IT.

[00:50:01]

YES, MA'AM.

UM, I GUESS THIS IS FOR TOWN STAFF. DO WE HAVE ON INDIANTOWN ROAD A TYPE OF CROSSWALK LIKE THIS THAT ISN'T AT AN INTERSECTION ON IT, ANYWHERE ELSE ON INDIANTOWN ROAD? UM, IN TERMS OF THE MID-BLOCK CROSSING? YES.

UH, NO, THIS IS THE FIRST ONE.

OKAY. UM, DO YOU KNOW THE SPEED LIMIT AT THIS SECTION OF INDIANTOWN ROAD? WE WOULD CREATE THE, UH, SPEED ZONE FOR THIS PARTICULAR ROUNDABOUT AND REDUCE THE SPEED DOWN TO, UH, 30 MILES PER HOUR.

OKAY. UM, ONE OF MY CONCERNS IS WITH THE TWO LANES, IF YOU HAVE A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING THAT ONE CAR MIGHT STOP FOR THAT PEDESTRIAN AND THEN BLOCK THE VIEW FOR A CAR IN A DIFFERENT LANE WHO MAY NOT STOP. UM, HOW WOULD THIS CROSSWALK IN THE, YOU KNOW, AS WE WATCH IT, WOULD THERE BE POTENTIAL, OR WOULD IT BE POTENTIALLY A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE, UM, THE FLASHING BEACONS THAT WE HAVE AT OTHER CROSSWALKS? IS THAT BEING CONSIDERED FOR THIS ONE? YES, UH, IT HAS BEEN, UH, RAISED, AND WE WOULD, UM, SET UP THE MONITORING CONDITION FIRST OKAY.

TO OBSERVE, AND IF IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO THE, UH, UH, ISSUE WHICH NEED THAT, UH, UH, FLASHING BEACON, THEN WE CAN, UH, GO AHEAD AND AND THEN, UH, INSTALL IT. UH, BUT THE, UM, I WOULD SAY LET'S GIVE LIKE A 06, 6, 6 MONTH MM-HMM.

MONITORING THE, UH, OBSERVATION, UH, TIME PERIOD, UH, TO JUSTIFY ITS NEED. UM, BUT IF YOUR COUNCIL, UH, FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO DO IT PROACTIVELY TO DO, UH, PUT IT ON WHEN, UH, THE ROUNDABOUT IS CONSTRUCTED, WE CAN DO THAT TOO. UH, I GUESS, UM, UH, WITH THE, UH, PROPOSED, UH, UH, FUNDING, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO, UH, MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

THANK YOU. AND ONE OTHER, UH, THE LEFT TURN SIGNS. I AGREE SIGNS ARE HELPFUL. I ALSO AGREE THAT PEOPLE MAY NOT ALWAYS FOLLOW THEM. I SEE THAT WE HAVE THE LEFT TURN LANE INTO THE MULTIFAMILY. IS THERE A WAY TO, I MEAN, I GUESS THAT LEFT TURN LANE NEEDS TO BE A CERTAIN LENGTH IN THE DESIGN, BUT IS THERE ANY WAY TO MAKE THAT LEFT TURN THAT'S NOT ALLOWED PERHAPS A LITTLE MORE UNNATURAL SO THAT IT MIGHT DISSUADE PEOPLE FROM DOING IT, IN ADDITION TO THE SIGNAGE? UH, YES, UH, WE, WE HAVE ALREADY MAKE THAT, UM, UM, LITERALLY, UH, AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE, UH, LITERALLY TO JUST STORE, UH, TWO VEHICLE, 2 VEHICLE, UM, BEFORE APPROACH TO THAT, UH, LEFT TURN POINT, ENTRY POINT. AND, UM, AND, UH, THAT WOULD POTENTIALLY, UM, DETER, UH, DETER BECAUSE ONCE THAT, UH, UH, LEFT TURN HAS BEEN FILLED UP, THEN, UH, SUBSEQUENT ARRIVAL, THEY SEE THAT THEY, THEY, THEY COME IN TO OBSERVE THE, THE, THE TRAFFIC, FIND OUT THAT THE LEFT TURN LANE WAS THE, UH, WAS THE MOST OF THE OCCUPIED, THEN THEY WOULD, THEY WOULD INSTEAD FOLLOW THE ROUNDABOUT AND GET INTO THE SHOP. YEAH, SO, UM, BUT WE, UM, WE NEED TO, UM, MAINTAIN THE RIGHT FOR THE RESIDENTS, UH, RESIDENTIAL, UH, TRAFFIC, BEING ABLE TO, UH, BOTH ACCESS ACCESSIBLE TO, UH, FOR FOR THE EGRESS AND UH, UH, UH EXGRESS UH UH PURPOSES.

UH, WE CANNOT DESCRIBE, DESCRIBE THE RIGHT FOR THE, FOR THE RESIDENTIAL UH UH TRAFFIC.

SO THAT'S WHY WE SPECIFIC UH DESIGNATED THE SIGNAGE LANGUAGE AS NO LEFT TURN TO THE RETAIL CENTERS. YEAH, THAT IS BEEN A DESTINATION, UM.

SO, IT'S SPECIFIC AND NOT RIGHT.

RIGHT, AND NOT THE MULTIFAMILY.

UNDERSTOOD. THANK YOU.

YEP.

CJ, BEFORE YOU LEAVE, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU, SO I'LL SKIP THE ONE ONE. UM, IS THIS UNUSUAL? THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES FOR THE PLAZA IS 1025, AND PROPOSED IS 1025. IT'S SORT OF LINE ON LINE. IS THERE, WHAT IS THE UNCERTAINTY IN THOSE NUMBERS? I'M CONCERNED ABOUT, COULD WE OVERRUN IT OR UNDERRUN IT? ARE WE, ARE WE TYPICALLY, UH, LEAN TOWARDS SPACES AVAILABLE VERSUS NEEDED DURING THAT ANALYSIS? UM, I GUESS, UH, THIS WOULD BE A, UH, MORE APPROPRIATE FOR A P&Z, UH, STAFF, UH, TO ANSWER. UM, BUT BASED ON MY, UH, UH, LIMITED, UH, EXPERIENCE WITH THE PARKING, UM, UH, THIS IS BASED ON THE TOWN CODE, RIGHT? OKAY, YEAH. UM, BASED

[00:55:02]

ON THE TOWN CODE, THEN, UH, UH, I THINK, UM, THE THE P&Z STAFF, THAT THEY HAVE DONE, UM.

YOU MORE THAN WELCOME TO HAVE P&Z COME UP AND ANSWER THAT FOR YOU.

SURE. NO.

GOOD EVENING. UH, SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, UM, SHARED PARKING IS A PROVISION WITHIN THE CODE. THIS PLAZA, TO YOUR POINT, IS SPOT ON.

UM, WHAT WE FIND IS TYPICALLY WHERE WE SEE PARKING BECOME MOST TIGHT WHEN UTILIZING SHARED PARKING IS WHEN THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES AVAILABLE IS A VERY SMALL NUMBER. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, A PLAZA LIKE BERMUDIANA ONLY HAS SOMEWHERE AROUND 250 PARKING SPACES, AND IT'S MAXIMIZED THE SHARED PARKING REDUCTION. AND SO WHEN YOU PUT ALL THOSE PARAMETERS TOGETHER, THE PARKING WORKS VERY EFFICIENTLY. THERE'S NOT OFTENTIMES A LOT OF, UH, AVAILABLE SPACES.

BUT AS YOU START TO GROW THE NUMBER OF AVAILABLE SPACES WITHIN A PLAZA, AND THE NUMBER OF REDUCTION OR THE PERCENTAGE OF REDUCTION BECOMES A MUCH SMALLER PERCENTAGE, SO INSTEAD OF 25%, YOU'RE TALKING IN THIS CASE, I BELIEVE IT'S LESS THAN 10%.

UM, THE PERCENTAGE, UM, OR THE LIKELIHOOD OF OVERSATURATION BECOMES LESS, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

SO.

JUST BECAUSE THE PURE NUMBERS.

PARKING PLACE IS AVAILABLE.

MUCH BIGGER PARKING FIELD OKAY.

AND A SMALLER OVERALL PERCENTAGE OF REDUCTION THAN WHAT YOU WOULD SEE IN PLAZAS THAT ARE TYPICALLY, UM, LIKE I SAID, VERY EFFICIENT WITH THEIR PARKING AND DON'T HAVE A LOT EXTRA.

OKAY, ALL RIGHT. I GOT A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR THE, UH, APPLICANT ALSO. THANK YOU.

UH, REGARDING, FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR CHANGING THE COLOR PALETTE AND THE STYLE OF THE BUILDING.

NO PROBLEM, SIR.

IS THAT COLOR PALETTE SCHEME GONNA BE 360 AROUND THE BUILDING? BACKS, FRONT, NORTH, EVERYTHING? YES. JUST WANT TO DOUBLE CHECK. THE ANSWER IS YES.

OKAY. AND THE SECOND THING IS, UH, RELATIVE TO THE BUFFER WALL MM-HMM.

THAT'S ON THE NORTH SIDE AND THE EAST SIDE, UH, THAT WALL IS PRETTY DATED, IT'S STAINED, IT'S MILDEWED. I KNOW YOU PLAN TO LANDSCAPE IT. DO YOU PLAN TO PAINT IT THE SAME AS THE BUILDING? I KNOW YOU'RE PUTTING ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING.

I JUST TO DOUBLE CHECK, I KNOW, WE'RE WELL, I KNOW WE'RE CLEANING IT. I KNOW THAT'S NUMBER ONE.

OKAY, THAT'S MY SECOND QUESTION, AT LEAST GONNA CLEAN IT.

AND I KNOW WE'RE PLANTING IT, I'M JUST NOT SURE IF WE'RE PAINTING IT.

WE WERE PROPOSING TO CLEAN IT, FRESH WASH IT, AND LANDSCAPE IT, BUT OKAY, ALL RIGHT.

OBVIOUSLY.

AND OBVIOUSLY THE EAST SIDE OF THE WALL IS HARD BECAUSE A LOT OF GROWTH ON THE, UH, RIGHT.

CONDO SIDE THERE, SO.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AS LONG AS YOU'RE TAKING SOME STEPS TO MAKE IT LOOK BETTER, I, I APPRECIATE THAT.

YES, SIR.

UM, YOU MADE A STATEMENT THAT THERE WERE 17 SPACES REMOVED FROM THE BACKSIDE TO ACCOMMODATE THE SEMI TURNING.

YES, SIR.

IN ORDER TO PARK IN THE DOCKING, LOADING DOCK. WELL, THAT'S 17 PARKING SPACES WILL BE MOVED TO THE FRONT, RIGHT? NO, NO, NO.

THAT'S WHY I WAS NOT ASKING, BECAUSE THAT'S 51 SPOTS AS OPPOSED TO 22, SO.

SO THE, BUT WE ARE REDUCING THE, THE, UH, MOVIE THEATER SEATS TO ACCOMMODATE TO MAKE THE PARKING WORK. SO WE ARE REDUCING THE SEATS IN THE MOVIE THEATER SO THE PARKING DOES MEET THE ALL THE CODE REQUIREMENTS. BUT YES, WE ARE REMOVING 17 IN THE BACK.

BUT IS THAT REDUCTION, UH, 76 SEATS? THE TOTAL REDUCTION IS 76 SEATS, 76 SEATS OF PARKING, YES, OKAY.

OF OF MOVIE THEATER SEATS.

SEATS, RIGHT. SO I TOTALED UP THE NUMBER OF SEATS IN MOVIE THEATER, AND YOU'RE OFF BY 5. I CAME UP WITH 81.

YOU HAVE TO REDUCE TO 81 SEATS TO GET TO 1254 VERSUS THE 76 SEATS TO GET TO 1254. MY ONLY COMMENT HERE IS ASK BOTH YOU AND THE TOWN GO BACK AND CHECK THE NUMBERS TO MAKE SURE OF COURSE.

TO THE 1254.

WE WILL MAKE SURE IT'S RIGHT, YES.

AND WE HAVE OUR TRANSPORTATION ENGINEER, AND I'M SURE HE'S CALCULATING AS WE SPEAK.

OKAY. AND, AND LAST QUESTION ON THE MOVIE THEATER. TO ME, MY BUSINESS MODEL OF MOVIE THEATER OWNER IS HOW MANY SEATS CAN I SELL? MM-HMM.

AND IF YOU'RE REMOVING 76 OR 81 SEATS THERE, HOW DOES THAT WORK? IS THE MOVIE THEATER LEASEOR BEING INCENTIVIZED TO GIVE UP THOSE 76 TO 81 SEATS? OR HOW'S THAT? NOW YOU'RE OUTSIDE, NOW YOU'RE OUTSIDE OF ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS, SO I'M GONNA HAVE TO DEFER TO OUR CLIENT ON THAT MATTER. I, I DON'T KNOW.

I'M JUST CONCERNED, HOW DO WE HOLD THE FEET TO THE FIRE AS FAR AS THE MOVIE THEATER MAINTAINING THAT DEBIT OF 76 OR 81 SEATS IN THE FUTURE? RIGHT.

NOT COMING IN PUTTING THOSE SEATS BACK IN, SO.

RIGHT, WELL, WE HAVE A CONDITION, SO THAT CONDITION OF APPROVAL IDENTIFIES THAT WE HAVE TO AGREE TO IT. AND I THINK NUMBER 2, I THINK THE FACTS ARE THE SET THAT MOVIE THEATER, WHICH I WENT TO 2 WEEKS AGO, IT'S NOT THAT BUSY. THERE'S, UH, I THINK THERE'S 1 SCREEN THAT'S ACTUALLY STILL NOT EVEN BEING USED RIGHT NOW, SO IT'S UNDERUTILIZED TODAY.

SO I THINK THAT TRADE-OFF, WHICH WHAT OUR CLIENT DID, WAS A FAIRLY GOOD NEGOTIATION, BUT PROBABLY A SIGNIFICANT NEGOTIATION.

I JUST WONDER WHAT'S IN FOR THE MOVIE THEATER GIVE BEING GIVEN UP THAT MANY SEATS, SO.

[01:00:01]

IF YOU WANT SOME MORE INFORMATION, I CAN HAVE OUR CLIENT COME UP AND DISCUSS THAT MATTER.

SO.

UM, SO THEY DO A MAJORITY OF THEIR BUSINESS ON, IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN IN THAT THEATER, IT'S THE RIGHT HAND SIDE AND THE LEFT HAND SIDE.

AND THEY PRETTY MUCH CLOSED OFF THE LEFT SIDE.

YEAH, AND SO THEY DO A VAST MAJORITY OF THE BUSINESS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, AND THEY PUT THEIR, YOU KNOW, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, SORT OF REINVESTED IN THE BUSINESS, AND UM, ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, WHERE THE, THERE'S, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY SEATS, I THINK THERE'S 800 PLUS SEATS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE CURRENTLY.

YEAH, 875.

THANK YOU. UM, UH, THAT'S WHERE THEY'D BE REMOVING THOSE.

THE, THE, YOU KNOW, THEY...

THEY'VE STOPPED SPENDING THE CAPITAL TO CONTINUE TO, UM, OPERATE, UH, THE LAST SCREEN AND ALL THOSE SEATS. IT IT'S THE LABOR GETS EXPENSIVE, AND THEY'RE NOT, UM, ABLE ACTUALLY USING THEM, SO THEY SORT OF, UM, DO BETTER BY, UH, REINVESTING IN THE THE RIGHT HAND SIDE AND, UM, ELIMINATING THE, THE NEED TO SORT OF REINVEST IN PART OF THE, THAT'S NOT BEING USED.

WILL THEY PHYSICALLY REMOVE THOSE SEATS FROM THE THEATER? UM, I MEAN, WE'RE, WE'RE ALSO, WE'RE NOT THERE YET, AND WE HAVEN'T COMPLETED IT, BUT WE'RE IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM, AND WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM TO JUST, UH, RIGHT SIZE THEIR, THEIR BUSINESS AND GIVE BACK, UM, SOME OF THE, YOU KNOW, REMAINDER SPACE.

OBVIOUSLY, I'M INTERESTED IN THE 1254. HOW DO WE VERIFY WE'RE MEETING THE 1254, AND WILL THE TOWN BE INVOLVED TO VERIFY THAT THAT INDEED HAS HAPPENED, AND THAT IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT THE OWNER OF THE THEATER OR THE LEASER OF THIS THEATER COME BACK AT A LATER DATE AND PUT THOSE SEATS BACK IN, SO.

OKAY, YEAH, I'M GONNA, YEAH, HAVE A YEAH. IF I COULD, UH, POINT TO CONDITION NUMBER 4 IN THE RESOLUTION, UM, IT'S A REQUIREMENT FOR A PERMIT TO, TO BE SUBMITTED FOR THE INTERIOR BUILD-OUT, WHICH WOULD REDUCE THE NUMBER OF SEATS. AND AT THAT POINT, WE'LL VERIFY THROUGH A BUILDING PERMIT PROCESS THAT THE NUMBER OF SEATS THAT IS BEING, UM, CLAIMED THROUGH THE PERMITTING PROCESS IS ACTUALLY WHAT WILL END UP BEING THE RESULT. SO WE'LL DO THAT, AND WE'LL PERFORM AN INSPECTION ONCE THAT'S COMPLETE TO ENSURE THAT THE THEATER SEATS HAVE BEEN REDUCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PERMIT.

OKAY. THANK YOU, SIR.

APPRECIATE IT. AND ONE LAST QUESTION. IF WE GO FORWARD...

YOU HAVE A COMMENT? YES, SIR.

THIS IS ABOUT THE ROUNDABOUT, AND MAINLY TOWARDS MR. WATSON THERE. UH, MOVE FORWARD WITH THE ROUNDABOUT, WHEN WILL WE HAVE TO START CONSTRUCTION OF THAT ROUNDABOUT IN ORDER TO COINCIDE WITH THE OPENING OF THE RETAIL STORE IN WHOLE FOODS.

CJ MIGHT KNOW, UM, THAT ONE. I DON'T HAVE A FINAL NUMBER ON THAT. UM, JOJU COULD NOT BE HERE, BUT HE SENT OUT THE EMAIL TO, UH, STEPHANIE, AND I COPIED IT DOWN. UM, SAY THE DESIGN PHASE WOULD TAKE, UM, UH, 7 MONTHS, SO, UH, DESIGN WILL BE COMPLETED BY, UH, MAY NEXT YEAR, AND THEN THE CONSTRUCTION WILL BE, UH, POTENTIALLY COMPLETE ONE YEAR LATER, IN MAY 2028.

AND HOW DOES THAT COINCIDE WITH THE WHOLE FOODS OPENING? ARE THEY CONSISTENT, OR AT LEAST CLOSE? I'LL LET THEM ANSWER THE JOHN SICKLER, FOR THE RECORD. I JUST ALSO WANT TO MENTION THERE IS NOT A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PROJECT FOR THE ROUNDABOUT TO BE COMPLETED, SO THAT'S SUBJECT TO THE COUNCIL OR THE CRA INITIATING, UH, GIVING DIRECTION TO STAFF TO PREPARE A CIP AND A BUDGET AMENDMENT TO MOVE FORWARD THAT WITH THAT, IF THAT'S DESIRES.

YEAH, THAT'S WHERE THAT.

THAT'S THE DESIRE OF THE COUNCIL.

JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH TIME WE HAD, SO.

YEAH, YEAH, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT WAS CLEAR IT'S NOT A PROJECT YET.

COULD, LET ME ASK THE MAYOR THIS QUESTION, WITH THE, HOWEVER WE VOTE ON THIS TONIGHT, COULD WE MAKE IT A CONDITION OF APPROVAL THAT WE ALSO DIRECT STAFF TO PULL TOGETHER THE CIP? IT WOULDN'T BE WITH THE COST? IT WOULDN'T BE A CONDITION OF APPROVAL, BUT WE COULD GIVE POLICY DIRECTION ABOUT THAT.

I'D LIKE TO GIVE THAT THEN.

SEPARATE TO THAT, YEAH.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, THANK YOU.

SO, REALLY JUST, I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT FOLLOW-UP, UM, QUESTIONS, UH, BASED ON WHAT I HEARD ASKED AND ANSWERED. UH, FIRST OF ALL, TO THE APPLICANT, UM, YOU HAD INDICATED THAT, UH, ALL THE LEASES WERE GOING TO HAVE THAT THERE CAN BE NO TRUCK DELIVERIES EXCEPT TO US1, CORRECT? YES, ON A GO-FORWARD BASIS.

YES, SIR.

OKAY, BECAUSE THE CONDITION, UH, TALKS ABOUT SEMI-TRUCKS, SO I GUESS WE WOULD CHANGE THAT TO TRUCKS DELIVERING

[01:05:01]

TO THE CENTER HAVE TO ALL GO FROM US1, CORRECT? BOX TRUCKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I MEAN, IT'S HARD TO CONTROL AMAZON.

WELL, THE VICE MAYOR ASKED THE QUESTION, AND YOU ANSWERED IT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CLEAR.

WHAT YOU SAID IS WHAT'S IN THAT AGREEMENT.

YEAH, THE, UM, SEMIS AND BOX TRUCKS.

OKAY. WE MAYBE MAKE A CLARIFICATION ON THAT. AND THEN, UM, JUST TO, I GUESS THIS IS A QUESTION, UM, I GUESS I'LL JUST POSE IT TO STAFF.

THANK YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU. TO JUST TALK ABOUT ON, UM, I'M GOING TO MAKE SOME COMMENTS, BUT THEN ASK STAFF TO ANSWER TO THIS. YOU KNOW, INTERESTING ON THE SHARED PARKING, SINCE THERE WAS A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND INTEREST ABOUT THAT, AND I'M JUST KIND OF GIVING MY OPINION HERE, BUT FIRST OF ALL, I'M COMFORTABLE KNOWING THAT IN, SORRY, THIS IS ONE QUESTION OF STAFF, IS THAT IN EVERY TIME THAT WE DO A SHARED PARKING APPROVAL, WHICH IS, UH, WHICH IS, UH, NOT MANDATORY, IT'S A DISCRETION OF COUNCIL, UM, THERE'S CONDITIONS THAT CAN BE INSPECTED AT ANY TIME, CORRECT? I MEAN, IF I PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL, HEY, UM, THAT'S THE REMEDY, CORRECT? THERE'S PROVISIONS OF THE CODE THAT DEAL WITH INADEQUATE PARKING.

RIGHT. BUT FROM THE GET-GO, WHAT YOU POINTED OUT BEFORE RIGHT NOW IS THAT A CONDITION OF THE DEVELOPMENT BEFORE THEY GET CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCIES, IT'LL BE CONFIRMED THAT THE PARKING IS WHAT WAS REPRESENTED, WHICH WOULD MEAN SEATS HAVE BEEN REMOVED, CORRECT? WITH THE THEATER PERMIT, THAT'S CORRECT.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, IF SOMEONE WERE TO EVER TRY TO PUT SEATS BACK IN AGAIN, IF THAT WAS RECOGNIZED, AND SO THANK YOU ON ANSWERING ON THAT. UM, JUST MY OPINION, YOU KNOW, THESE OLD SHOPPING CENTERS HAD, SO ONE CHANGE I'VE NOTICED, UH, FROM THE LAST MEETING TO THIS IS, UM, TO SOME DEGREE, I WAS LESS BOTHERED BY THE REMOVAL OF THE PARKING SPACES BEHIND BECAUSE IT WAS COMMON PRACTICE DECADES AGO TO COUNT PARKING SPACES BEHIND A SHOPPING CENTER, WHICH NEVER GET USED ANYWAY.

UH, SO I WOULD SUBMIT THIS CHANGE MAKES IT MORE VALID, IF YOU WILL, RIGHT? SO I KIND OF SAW THAT THEY'RE SOMEWHAT IMPROVING THE PARKING SITUATION BY, YOU KNOW, REMOVING SPACES THAT ARE RARELY USED ANYWAY.

UM, YOU KNOW, I GO TO THE ALDI'S SHOPPING CENTER BEHIND IT ALL THE TIME, AND THOSE SPOTS BEHIND IT NEVER GET USED, SO, UM, IT'S AN OLD DESIGN PRACTICE.

UM, TO THE DEGREE THAT WAS, AND AGAIN, SHARED PARKING IS DISCRETIONARY TO COUNCIL, AND I'M NOT TRYING TO INFLUENCE HERE, I JUST WANT TO REMIND US, UM, IT'S OUR DECISION. UM, THIS SHOPPING CENTER HAD BEEN PLAGUED A FEW YEARS BACK, UM, WITH SIGNIFICANT PARKING FROM HARBORSIDE. UM, AND UH, SO WHILE IT, IT ALWAYS HAS HAD A, UH, PREDOMINANCE OF, YOU KNOW, EMPTY SPACES WITH THE TENANTS THAT IT HAD, UM, AND I KNOW THAT THIS SHOPPING CENTER HAD, YOU KNOW, PUT UP A LOT OF TOW SIGNS AND WE'RE, WE'RE BEING AGGRESSIVE ABOUT THAT, AND IT'S THIS PROPERTY OWNER'S RIGHT TO DEFEND THEIR, YOU KNOW, TO... BUT I WOULD SUBMIT THAT IN ADDITION TO THE PARKING, UH, DEMAND FROM THIS ENHANCED CENTER, YOU KNOW, YOU STILL HAVE A RISK, UH, FROM, YOU KNOW, SURROUNDING CENTERS, UH, PARTICULARLY HARBORSIDE. AND JUST SOMETHING US ALL TO BE REMINDED TO BE MINDFUL ABOUT.

OUT, RIGHT? I'M JUST WANTED TO KIND OF MAKE SURE I'M PAINTING THE PICTURE FOR THOSE THAT MAY NOT HAVE REALIZED THAT WAS HAPPENING SO MUCH, RIGHT? UM, SO, UM... I THINK THAT'S IT ON THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAD.

UM, I WOULD ASK, OH, I'D ASK CJ, UM, COULD YOU, UH, JUST A QUESTION ON THE SCHEDULE. WHAT IS THE, UH, FROM THE TIME THAT YOU WOULD GET OFFICIAL DIRECTION, AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT BECAUSE THIS TAKE A CRA ACTION OR WHATEVER, UH, TO DO THE ROUNDABOUT, WHAT IS YOUR ESTIMATION ON THE CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE? WHAT'S YOUR HAS ENGINEERING ALREADY BEGUN ON THE ROUNDABOUT, AND WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE COMPLETED SO THAT YOU COULD GO OUT TO BID? UM, UM, ONCE THE CIP, UH, PROJECT HAS BEEN CREATED FOR THIS PROJECT, WE WOULD, UM, UH, START, UH, THE DESIGN PROCESS, AND I HAVE, UH, BEEN GIVEN THE, UH, COMMAND TO,

[01:10:01]

UM, UH, TALK TO THE, UH, DESIGN CONSULTANT, UH, FOR THIS. SO, UH, LIKE I MENTIONED EARLIER, UH, DESIGN, UH, WILL TAKE A 7, 7 MONTH TO, TO BE 7 MONTHS? 7 MONTH. SO IT'S POTENTIALLY TO BE COMPLETED, UH, NEXT MAY, UH, MAY 2027. AND THEN WE GO OUT FOR THE, UH, BIDDING. A BIDDING PROCESS THAT POTENTIALLY TAKE, UH, POSSIBLY, UH, 3 MONTH, AND THEN, UH, FOLLOWED BY THE CONSTRUCTIONS, AND CONSTRUCTION ANTICIPATED TO BE COMPLETE BY MAY 2028, AND THAT SHOULD BE COINCIDE WITH THE, UH...

SO WHAT'D YOU SAY THE ESTIMATE WAS FOR CONSTRUCTION DURATION? UH, SET, UM, UH, 9 MONTHS.

9 MONTHS? YES.

OKAY, THANK YOU. OKAY, UH, THIS... YOU HAD I JUST HAD ONE MORE QUESTION. IT JUST OCCURRED TO ME. RIGHT NOW, THE GYM IS EMPTY, IF I'M CORRECT, OR IS IT? IT IS.

ARE YOU EXPECTING A... YOU MAY NOT HAVE THIS ANSWER, SO, UM, BEAR WITH ME IF I'M OKAY. ARE YOU EXPECTING ANOTHER LARGE TENANT TO GO IN THERE THAT WOULD BRING ADDITIONAL OR AN INCREASE IN PARKING THAT COULD JEOPARDIZE THE TWO GOING IN NOW.

YEAH. UM, SO KEN MISSPOKE EARLIER, UM, ABOUT ONE THING.

THE TOTAL WINE IS GOING INTO THE FORMER GYM SPACE.

THAT'S WHAT. YES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

RIGHT, YEAH.

THAT'S WHAT I WANTED.

AND YEAH, EXACTLY.

AND SO THAT SPACE WITH STAPLES WON'T BE AS LARGE ON YEAH, THE THE SPACE WITH STAPLES, UH, WHAT WE INTEND TO DO IS SORT OF BREAK IT UP INTO SMALLER SPACES SO THAT WE'D HAVE WHOLE FOODS ON ONE END, TOTAL WINE ON THE OTHER, THE PLAZA AREA IN THE MIDDLE, AND, YOU KNOW, HAVE AN ACTIVE SPACE THERE.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

OKAY, UH, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? YES, SIR, WE HAVE ONE CARD. WE HAVE ANDRES CORREA.

GOOD EVENING. UM, ANDRES CORREA, UM, JUPITER RESIDENT, 119 MANOR CIRCLE IN RIALTO NEIGHBORHOOD. UM, SOUNDS LIKE EVERYTHING'S FINALLY MOVING FORWARD. JUST KNOWING WHAT I HEAR AROUND THE BASEBALL FIELDS, THE SOCCER FIELDS, AND SO FORTH. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF FAMILIES ARE EXCITED ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR SPACE FINALLY COMING BACK TO LIFE. UM, CURRENTLY MY FAMILY AND I, MAYBE ONCE A WEEK, ONCE EVERY 2 WEEKS, TAKE A TRIP TO PALM BEACH GARDENS, DO THE WHOLE FOODS, DO THE TOTAL WINE RUN.

TYPICALLY BEFORE THEN WE GO TO LUNCH SOMEWHERE THERE OR GO TO EARLY DINNER. UM, SURE WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE THAT HERE FOR ALL OF US, IN ADDITION TO, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER SMALL BUSINESSES, RESTAURANTS CAN COME TO FRUITION WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT KIND OF TAKING PLACE. UM, ASIDE FROM THAT, IT SOUNDS LIKE A DEVELOPMENT THAT SAT RELATIVELY DORMANT FOR SOME TIME HAS THE ABILITY TO BRING IN A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF JOBS. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF YOUNGER KIDS IN HIGH SCHOOL COMING BACK FROM COLLEGE, A LOT OF PEOPLE LOOKING FOR WORK. IT SEEMS LIKE A, A GREAT PLACE TO, TO BE HERE IN, YOU KNOW, PRETTY MUCH THE HEART OF JUPITER. UM, AND THEN ONE THING THAT CAME TO MIND WHEN, UH, MR. MAYOR, YOU WERE DISCUSSING THE OVERFLOW PARKING FROM, I BELIEVE, HARBORSIDE. UH, IT SOUNDS LIKE PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, JUST THE LAY OPINION, UM, THAT THAT COULD BE IN PART BECAUSE THE PARKING LOT DOES SEEM EMPTY MOST OF THE TIME, SO IT GIVES THE, YOU KNOW, THE IMPRESSION THAT, HEY, WE COULD JUST PARK THERE, EASY IN AND OUT, COME ACROSS.

WHEREAS IF YOU HAVE A THRIVING PLAZA, THERE'S MORE PARKING BEING FILLED AND POTENTIALLY LESS, YOU KNOW, LESS OF A REASON FOR PEOPLE TO THINK THEY CAN PARK OVER THERE TO THEN CROSS THE STREET AND GET OVER TO TO THE ABUTTING DEVELOPMENTS.

BUT TO SUMMARIZE, UH, WE'RE EXCITED, SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THIS ROLLING. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. I'D ASK THE APPLICANT OR STAFF IF YOU WANTED TO MAKE ANY CLOSING ARGUMENTS OR COMMENTS. STAFF, NO? NO? OKAY, I, UH, RETURN TO COUNCIL FOR DELIBERATION.

UM... I'LL GO FIRST, IF I MAY. UH, I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OTHER THAN

[01:15:02]

FOLLOW-UP. UM, I APPRECIATE, UM, THE TOTALITY OF WHERE WE ENDED UP.

STORMWATER SYSTEMS, UH, ARE NOTORIOUS FOR NOT BEING MAINTAINED IN SHOPPING CENTERS, SO I'M GRATEFUL, AND FOR THOSE ON COUNCIL THAT MAY NOT KNOW, SOME YEARS BACK WE CHANGED THE CODE SO WE CAN, WHEN WE DO APPROVALS, WE CAN MAKE CONDITIONS LIKE STAFF HAS, UH, THAT IT BE MAINTAINED. UM, SO THAT'S A GOOD, THAT'S A POSITIVE. UM, I'M GLAD THAT, UM, THE ENGINEERS FINALLY GOT IT TOGETHER WITH THE PRACTICALITY OF, UH, HAVING TRUCK ACCESS FROM US 1.

UM, I APPRECIATE THE RE-EVALUATION OF THE AESTHETICS, UH, THAT, UH, COUNCILLOR SUNDSTROM ASKED FOR, UH, MADE IMPROVEMENTS.

UM, I, UM, I STILL HAVE, I PERSONALLY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH, UH, THE ROUNDABOUT, ELONGATED ROUNDABOUT, AND I HAVE DISCUSSED WITH, UH, YOU KNOW, THE APPLICANT THROUGHOUT, AND I, WHILE I APPRECIATE THEIR HAVING UPPED THEIR CONTRIBUTION, UH, TO 500,000, I, UH, IN MY VIEW, PROPORTIONATE FAIR SHARE IS NOT APPROPRIATE. I, IT'S A GOOD STARTING POINT TO GO TO, UH, BUT, YOU KNOW, IN MY MIND, THE SITE PLAN, YOU KNOW, THE 80% INCREASE IN PM TRAFFIC, UH, IS WHAT CAUSES US TO HAVE TO DO AN ELONGATED ROUNDABOUT.

THE NOTION THAT THE TWO SHOPPING CENTERS, UH, NORTH AND SOUTH OF INDIANTOWN ROAD, UM, ARE EQUAL CONTRIBUTORS IS NOT VALID, BECAUSE THE ONE THING ABOUT THE PUBLIX SHOPPING CENTER IS YOU HAVE THREE WAYS, I MEAN, I GO THERE A NUMBER OF TIMES TOO, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE A PUBLIX CLOSER TO ME. THERE'S THREE WAYS IN AND OUT, UM, OFF OF INDIANTOWN, SO THEY ARE ADVANTAGED, IF YOU WILL, BECAUSE YOU JUST GO ALL THE WAY TO THE EAST END AND YOU CAN TURN AND NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES.

SO, UH, I, I DON'T SEE THEM, UH, THEY HAVE TO BE ACCOMMODATED HERE BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS HAD A LEFT OUT OF HERE, AND IT IS IN A DESIGN, UM, SO I'M, AND I'M GRATEFUL THAT STAFF CAME UP WITH THE DESIGN THAT WORKS.

UM, I'M JUST NOT COMFORTABLE, YOU KNOW, HAVING THE TOWN COME UP WITH A MILLION DOLLARS AT A MILLION AND A HALF ESTIMATE.

SO, UH, I, UM, I DON'T KNOW THAT I CAN SUPPORT IT BASED, BUT I APPRECIATE, BUT I JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE, BECAUSE IT WAS SAID, GEE, PROPORTIONATE FAIR SHARE.

EVERY SHOPPING CENTER YOU DO, I'D SAID THIS IN THE PAST BEFORE, UM, THE COUNTY, THEY DON'T LOOK AT IT IN, IN TRAFFIC. THEY LOOK AT IT AS THAT'S A SITE PLAN ISSUE, SO TURN LANES AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT HAVE TO BE DONE. IT HISTORICALLY IS 100% ON THE APPLICANT. THIS IS AN, THIS IS AN UNUSUAL ONE, AND IT IS.

I THINK WE, UH, I THINK WE WERE WILLING TO PUT SOME AMOUNT OF MONEY IN BECAUSE WE REALIZED THAT WE'D BE CORRECTING SOMETHING THAT HAS EXISTED A LONG TIME. BUT TO MY MIND, YOU KNOW, I'M SEEING LIKE THIS IS GOING TO DOUBLE, UH, THE, THE, UH, ISSUES THAT HAD EXISTED THERE.

UM, BUT ANYWAY, I JUST WANT TO HAVE SAID THAT, AND SO NOW WE'LL JUST, I'LL GO.

I, I AGREE WITH YOU, MAYOR.

UM, I'M JUST, YOU KNOW, WE, WE, WE LOOKED AT PUTTING THIS IN A COUPLE YEARS AGO, WE DIDN'T. UM, SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD HAVE SOME SKIN IN THE GAME ALSO. I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE IN MY HEAD UH, WHAT SORT OF A... WHAT WOULD BE A FAIR NUMBER FOR YOU IN YOUR MIND? I'M SURE YOU'VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT, BECAUSE I'M KIND OF PONDERING THAT. I THINK WELL, I WASN'T EXPECTING.

IF IT'S 1.2, THEY'RE OFFERING HALF A MILLION. I MEAN, WHAT DO YOU THINK A FAIR SHARE FOR THE UM.

THE APPLICANT WOULD BE? WELL, THE, UH, AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING, SINCE I ALREADY GAVE THIS MESSAGE, THE APPLICANT, UH, MAY WANT US TO CONTINUE SO THEY CAN PONDER ABOUT IT IF WE, IF WE WIND UP, THERE WAS A CONSENSUS ABOUT THAT. YOU KNOW, AS I TOLD THE APPLICANT, UH, KEN TOOMA, EVERY TIME I SPOKE TO HIM, THESE ARE THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY TIMES IN THE HISTORY OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT, YOU KNOW, WITH AMENDMENT 3 FACING US, YOU KNOW, JUST NOT, NOT KNOWING WHERE.

I NEVER, NEVER BEEN ABLE TO BE IN A SITUATION BEFORE, BUT TO ME, I THINK AS A MINIMUM, UH, YOU KNOW, A 50-50 SPLIT.

MM-HMM.

WE'RE STILL COMING UP WITH, YOU KNOW, HALF OF IT, BUT YOU ASKED ME TO ANSWER, RIGHT? YEAH, THAT, I MEAN.

CERTAINLY, CERTAINLY I, I ALREADY SAID THAT A CASE COULD BE MADE THAT THEY DO IT ALL,

[01:20:01]

BUT UH, RIGHT.

UH, BUT I DO THINK TO THE DEGREE THAT THERE'S A, IT'S SOLVING A LONG-TERM ISSUE THERE THAT THEY INHERIT IT, ALTHOUGH IT IS THEIR CENTER.

MM-HMM.

UM, I THINK THE MOST I COULD COME UP WITH FOR US TO SUPPORT, AND I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THE REST OF THE, MAYBE THE REST OF THE COUNCIL DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO YEAH.

PUT UP THAT MUCH, SO.

IF I CAN JUMP IN, I, I ALSO APPRECIATE ALL THE CHANGES THAT THE STAFF AND APPLICANT HAVE GONE THROUGH. MY BIGGEST HANG-UP IS JUST THE COST SHARING OF THE ELONGATED ROUNDABOUT. UM, I WOULD, I WOULD THINK A HEAVY CONTRIBUTION WOULD BE NECESSARY FROM THE APPLICANT JUST DUE TO THE, THE INCREASE IN THE, THE PM DAILY TRIPS, BECAUSE IT'S, IT'LL BE AN ISSUE DOWN THERE, SO.

BUT I'M WILLING TO SEE WHAT THE REST OF THE, MY COLLEAGUES HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT.

VICE MAYOR.

NO, WE'RE DELIBERATING THANK YOU.

ON EVERYTHING HERE.

UH, YEAH, I SUPPORT EVERYTHING THAT HAS COME FORWARD, BUT I DO AGREE WITH YOU, UM, MAYOR AND COUNCILOR, THAT I COULD GO WITH THE 50-50. I DON'T THINK THAT WE SHOULD BE TAKING THE LARGER PERCENTAGE OF THIS. I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE DOING, UM, BUT I, I, I THINK THE SKIN HAS TO BE A LITTLE BIT THICKER ON THE OTHER SIDE.

I'M IN FAVOR OF THE 50-50 SPLIT. I THINK IT MAKES SENSE, IT'S REASONABLE. SO THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT UNDERTAKING FOR THE BENEFIT PRIMARILY OF THE PLAZA ITSELF, SO I THINK 50-50 IS REASONABLE, AND I'D ALSO SUPPORT THEIR, UH, REMOVAL OF THE WORD PERMANENT FROM THE CONDITION 3 ALSO, SO.

I AGREE WITH, UM, A LOT OF WHAT WAS SAID. I AGREE WITH THE PERMANENT, REMOVING PERMANENT ON THE CONDITION. UM, APPRECIATE THE ELEVATIONS.

THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MAKE IT FIT WITHIN THE CONTEXT. UM, AGREE WITH THE 50-50 SPLIT. UM, I'M WONDERING, AND I'M INTERESTED IN MONITORING THE CROSSWALK AND SAFETY, AND THEN WE CAN DO THAT FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD. UH, AND I DO WANT TO GIVE DIRECTION. I AGREE, UH, WITH COUNCILLOR GEISINGER. WE WANT TO GIVE DIRECTION IF WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ON OUR END AND REALLY MANAGE IT CLOSELY AND CAREFULLY. UM, BUT I WANTED TO ASK, IS THIS SOMETHING WE NEED TO CONTINUE? CAN I THROW ONE COMMENT ON ON THE THE CROSSWALK? YES.

UM, SO YOU YOU SEE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT MAYBE PUTTING LIKE THE THE THE WARNING LIGHTS THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO CROSS, NOT NECESSARILY A STOPLIGHT, BUT A LIGHT. WHY DON'T WE JUST START OUT WITH THAT AS OPPOSED TO WAITING, MAYBE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR HIT BY A CAR? WOULD YOU WANT TO JUST START OUT WITH THAT OR... I'M JUST THROWING IT OUT THERE, SO.

I HAVE CONCERNS WITH THAT. I THINK IT'S VERY, IT'S NEW.

IT'S A REALLY NEW CROSSWALK.

IT IS.

AND THERE'S A LOT GOING ON.

THERE'LL BE A LOT GOING ON THERE.

I THINK 6 MONTHS ISN'T A LONG TIME. I WOULDN'T WANT A YEAR.

WOULD YOU WANT TO START RIGHT, RIGHT, I MEAN RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX.

RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX, HAVE IT, YOU KNOW, JUST HAVE THE FLASHING JUST HAVE IT BUILT INTO THE SURE.

I COULD CERTAINLY WOULD YOU THINK? FAVOR THAT, YEAH.

WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN.

EXACTLY CORRECT.

BECAUSE IT'S A VERY YES.

BE MORE PROACTIVE.

THESE ELONGATED IT'S A SMALL.

ROUNDABOUTS, OR WHAT YOU WANT TO CALL THEM, LIKE THE ONE ON, UH, UNIVERSITY, TOOK PEOPLE 2 YEARS NOT GETTING ACCESS. IT'S, IT'S STILL, IT'S TRICKY, SO I JUST THINK THERE'S A LOT GOING ON THERE.

BEFORE, AND I KNOW WE WANNA, AND I HAD AGREED TO THE APPLICANT THAT WE WOULD, UH, CONTINUE IF NEED BE, BUT LET'S, UH, IF I MAY, TRY TO GET A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE FLOOR SO THEY WE UNDERSTAND WHERE WE ENDED UP, RIGHT? AND IF I HEARD RIGHT, UM, SO I WON'T BE MAKING A MOTION, BUT, UH, I THINK THERE WAS A CONSENSUS ON, UH, ITEM 3, SITE PLAN 3A, TO REMOVE THE WORD PERMANENT.

PREVENT IT NOW.

I AGREE WITH THAT.

IT'S ON THE OUTDOOR SEATING AREAS.

UM, AND THEN, UM, ON, UH, PAGE E, ITEM 6, ACCESS, UH, SEMI-TRUCKS AND BOX TRUCKS, THAT'S WHAT I HEARD. AND THEN, UH, THEN THE LAST THING IS THERE SEEMED TO BE A CONSENSUS UP HERE FOR ITEM, YOU KNOW, 5C TO HAVE THE CONTRIBUTION BEING 750,000 DOLLARS. UM, AND UH, SO CAN I JUST GET A MOTION AND A SECOND? I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE 750.

YOU, WE MENTIONED 50-50 SPLIT, BUT WE'RE THINKING A TRAFFIC LIGHT THERE. THAT'S GONNA BE SUBSTANTIALLY MORE THAN IT WASN'T TRAFFIC.

NO, JUST A FLASHING BEACON.

FLASHING BEACON. OKAY, ALL RIGHT.

AND I THOUGHT I HEARD STAFF SAY THAT WAS IN THE BUDGET.

OKAY, ALL RIGHT.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

WITH THOSE CONDITIONS.

I'M SORRY? WITH THOSE 3.

WITH THOSE CONDITIONS YOU MENTIONED, MAYOR.

YEAH. I'LL SECOND THE MOTION.

OKAY, AND UH, WITH THAT, UH, I THINK, IN FAIRNESS, I JUST WANT TO PAUSE AND ASK,

[01:25:01]

UH, IF THE APPLICANT IS COMFORTABLE WITH US.

CAN WE HAVE ONE MINUTE? SURE.

ONE MINUTE JUST BECAUSE I DON'T.

SURE. SURE. IF NOT, WE CONTINUE, BUT THIS WAY WE'VE BROUGHT OUR CONSENSUS FORWARD, RIGHT? YEAH, SURE.

MAYOR, IF I COULD, UM, WHILE THEY'RE TALKING, UM, I'VE HAD SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS WITH THE TOWN ENGINEER ON THE IMPORTANCE OF FINISHING THAT ROUNDABOUT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROJECT. HE'S WELL AWARE, HE'S ON A GOOD TIMELINE, AND, UH, HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT MAKING THAT WORK.

MR. MAYOR, UH, AND TOWN COUNCIL, ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT, WE WILL ACCEPT THE CONDITION OF 750,000 DOLLARS, AND WE HOPE THAT THIS CLOSES THIS MATTER AND WE MOVE ON, PLEASE. THANK YOU.

WELL, WE'VE MADE A MOTION AND A SECOND. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

UM, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. UM... ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE.

AYE. MOTION CARRIES, UH, UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO REPORTS, UH.

THE REPORTS, HOW DO WE GO? CAN WE DIRECT STAFF THEN TO OR WE COULD DO IT ON THE REPORTS.

OKAY. FOR THE CIP? YEAH.

[TOWN ATTORNEY ]

OKAY, ALL RIGHT.

TOWN ATTORNEY.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. ONE ITEM TO REPORT, UM, AS YOU KNOW, THE TOWN FILED A NUISANCE ACTION AGAINST, UH, THE PROPERTY OWNER, MISS WATERS, AND LAST WEEK, UM, A FORECLOSURE ACTION WAS FILED BY THE LENDER AGAINST THAT PROPERTY. SO, UH, THE TOWN HAS A CODE ENFORCEMENT LIEN RECORDED AGAINST THAT PROPERTY. AND, UH, IN MY DISCUSSION WITH MR. LASHLEY TODAY, UH, WHEN THE TOWN, AFTER THE TOWN IS SERVED, BECAUSE WE, THE TOWN WILL HAVE TO BE SERVED A SUMMONS, UH, BECAUSE IT HAS A LIEN AND INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY, WE WILL FILE AN ANSWER IN AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE TO PROTECT THE TOWN'S, UH, FINE, WHICH IS ACCUMULATED.

UH, I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THE FORECLOSURE PROCESS WILL, WILL TAKE, BUT IT SEEMS THAT IT WON'T TAKE AS LONG AS IT WOULD IF IT WAS CONTESTED. AND SO THERE MAY BE A, A, UH, MORE QUICKER REMEDY, UM, WITH RESPECT TO THAT PROPERTY THAN IF THE TOWN IS REQUIRED TO GO INTO COURT AND PROSECUTE ITS NUISANCE ACTION. BUT, UH, I WILL KEEP YOU ADVISED, AND, UM, HOPEFULLY THE PROPERTY OWNERS AND NEIGHBORS IN THAT AREA WILL GET SOME RELIEF AS SOON AS THEY CAN.

APPRECIATE YOUR, UH, HAVING MADE THAT SUGGESTION NOT TOO LONG AGO TO PURSUE THAT AVENUE. THAT WAS BREAKTHROUGH.

JUST A QUICK QUESTION, IS THE, UM, OCCUPANT STILL LIVING IN THE PROPERTY NOW? STILL? YES, SHE IS.

SO THE ISSUE IS STILL GOING ON? OKAY.

YES.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. UM, JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS REAL QUICK.

MR. KITZEROW.

FIRST OF ALL, I KNOW WE STARTED THE MEETING WITH ACKNOWLEDGING, UH, FOLKS ON THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WEEK. I WANTED TO JUST ENHANCE OR SAY A

[TOWN MANAGER ]

FEW WORDS ABOUT THAT, IF I COULD. UM, THESE PEOPLE ARE REALLY, REALLY REMARKABLE. THEY'RE THE FRONT LINES. THEY'RE THE FOLKS THAT CREATE THE REPUTATION FOR THE TOWN, AND UH, AND IF YOU'VE EVER HAD A CHANCE TO WATCH WHAT THEY DO, IT'S THEY HAVE A LOT OF PATIENCE, AND THEY'RE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE, AND THEY KNOW, UH, THEY KNOW THEIR BUSINESS, SO I CAN'T THANK THEM ENOUGH. I THINK A LOT OF TIMES THEY'RE THE UNSUNG HEROES THAT ARE OUT THERE EVERY DAY SHAPING THE, THE TOWN'S REPUTATION AMONGST OUR RESIDENTS, SO I WANTED TO THANK THEM, UH, OFFICIALLY. AND THEN OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT WEEK, THE TOWN WILL CELEBRATE THE REOPENING OF THREE PLAYGROUNDS AT TOWN PARKS. THIS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8TH, WE WILL CUT THE RIBBON ON THE NEWLY RENOVATED PLAYGROUND AT THE JUPITER COMMUNITY CENTER, AND THAT'LL BEGIN AT 4:00 PM. ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9TH, WE'LL HOLD A CEREMONY CELEBRATING THE REOPENING OF THE PLAYGROUND AT HEIGHTS OF JUPITER PARK. THIS CEREMONY WILL ALSO BEGIN AT 4:00 PM.

ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 12TH AT 4:00 PM, THE TOWN WILL HOLD A CEREMONY AT ABACOA COMMUNITY PARK. UH, FOR THAT PLAYGROUND, AND THESE PROJECTS ARE PART OF THE TOWN'S COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM INITIATIVE TO REVITALIZE THE PLAYGROUNDS AT TOWNS PARK, AS DIRECTED BY THIS COUNCIL. AND THE PLAYGROUNDS LOOK REALLY, REALLY GOOD, I HAVE TO SAY.

UM, ALSO THE UTILITIES UH, DEPARTMENT'S PROJECT TO REPLACE EXISTING MECHANICAL WATER METERS WITH NEW ADVANCED, UH, METERING INFRASTRUCTURE IS NOW

[01:30:02]

UNDERWAY. SO, UH, RESIDENTS WILL RECEIVE THEIR, UH, NOTIFICATION FROM THE TOWN'S CONTRACTOR BEFORE THEIR METER IS REPLACED.

EXCUSE ME, DURING THE REPLACEMENT, THE, THE WATER TO THE RESIDENTS WILL NEED TO BE TURNED OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES.

THE CONTRACTOR WILL NOTIFY OCCUPANTS OF THE PROPERTY BEFORE TURNING OFF THE WATER.

UPON COMPLETING AN INSTALLATION, THE CONTRACTOR WILL NOTIFY OCCUPANTS OF A RESIDENCE THAT THE WATER SERVICE HAS BEEN RESTORED.

EXCUSE ME, AND I'D LIKE TO REMIND RESIDENTS, MOST IMPORTANTLY, THAT AT NO TIME, I MEAN NO TIME, SHOULD THE CONTRACTOR NEED TO ENTER THEIR HOME. NOT REQUIRED. SO IF ANYBODY'S KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR WANTING TO ENTER YOUR HOME, IT'S NOT OUR CONTRACTOR.

ONE QUESTION, HOW MUCH NOTIFICATION WILL THE RESIDENTS GET WHEN THEIR WATER'S GONNA BE TURNED OFF? UH, I'LL HAVE TO CHECK ON THAT. I SEE THAT AMANDA'S ALREADY GONE. I'LL GET THAT BACK TO YOU.

JUST ANOTHER QUESTION. IS THERE A SPECIFIC LOCATION THEY'RE STARTING IN, OR UM, PUBLIC RELATIONS IS SENDING OUT THOSE THAT INFORMATION, AND YES, THERE IS A, THERE IS A MAP THAT WE'RE USING OR A SCHEDULE.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

YOU'LL GET ALL THAT FROM SEAN AND THE TEAM WILL BE COMING OUT.

THAT'S A MAP OF THE ORDER THEY'RE DOING IT? I'M SORRY, THE, THE ORDER IN WHICH THEY'RE DOING IT, WHERE THEY WILL BE.

GOOD, BECAUSE THANK YOU.

YEP.

I JUST, BECAUSE I HAD ASKED FOR THAT, NEVER GOT THE MAP, BUT THANK YOU.

YEP. UM, FINALLY, UM, FINALLY, MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO CONGRATULATE AND RECOGNIZE TOWN EMPLOYEES WHO ARE CELEBRATING A MILESTONE ANNIVERSARY WITH THE TOWN.

POLICE OFFICER RONNIE PICARD AND POLICE OFFICER GABRIEL DE SILVA ARE BOTH CELEBRATING 5 YEARS OF SERVICE WITH THE TOWN, AND MEANWHILE, BUILDING OPERATIONS ADMINISTRATOR KELLY DOHERTY AND POLICE OFFICER SAMANTHA ROSANO ARE EACH CELEBRATING 10 YEARS WITH THE TOWN. SO CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM, AND THAT'S MY REPORT, MAYOR.

THANK YOU. UM, JUST LET ME COVER THE FIRST ITEM THAT I THINK, UH, CAME UP ON THE LAST AGENDA ITEM. SO I THINK THE COUNCIL, UH, REQUESTS A CRA MEETING WHEREIN WE WOULD ADD A CIP PROJECT FOR THE ELONGATED ROUNDABOUT.

[TOWN COUNCIL – LIAISON REPORTS AND COMMENTS ]

AND, UH, JUST, I DIDN'T BRING THIS UP AT THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING, BUT I DO RECOLLECT ACTUALLY COUNCILOR GEISINGER HAD ACTUALLY ASKED FOR THAT CIP PROJECT WHEN IT WASN'T IN THE BOOK. IT WAS TOO LATE TO GET IT, RIGHT? SO WE ALL LET IT GO, BUT, UH, BUT I THINK IN, I'M, I'M READING THE DIOCESE HERE, I THINK ALL OF US FEEL NOW WE'VE COMMITTED OURSELVES WITH NO CHOICE.

UM, SO PIGGYBACK AT THE NEXT MEETING? YEAH.

YEAH, OKAY.

WELL, WHENEVER. I MEAN, WE'RE GIVEN THE DIRECTION HERE AS A CONSENSUS, BUT IT ISN'T OFFICIAL UNTIL CORRECT.

YOU KNOW, IN THE CRA, BUT THEY CAN, THEY CAN BE PROCEEDING IN ADVANCE. SO IT'S UP TO STAFF TO SCHEDULE THAT, RIGHT? AND TO THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN EXPEDITE IT, YEAH.

I'M SURE WE'RE ALL ON BOARD WITH THAT.

WE'RE, WE'RE WORKING ON IT.

THE TIMELINE.

WE HAD TO WAIT FOR YOU TO MAKE A DECISION.

UNDERSTAND.

SO YOU'LL GET SOMETHING VERY SOON.

OKAY, PERFECT.

UM, SO WITH THAT, UH, LET ME START AT THE LEFT SIDE, MY LEFT SIDE, UH, COUNCILOR GUISINGER.

UH, ONLY A COUPLE THINGS, AND OBVIOUSLY CONGRATULATIONS TO TOWN EMPLOYEES, UH, CELEBRATING ANNIVERSARIES THIS MONTH, UH, LIKE YOU SAID, YEAH, THEY DO AN OUTSTANDING JOB.

UH, APPRECIATE THEIR DEDICATION TO THE TOWN AND, UH, AND, UH, ALL THEY DO IN THE PROFESSION, THEIR COLLEAGUES, IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT, SO GLAD THEY'RE STAYING WITH US AS LONG AS THEY ARE, SO. AND ALSO CONGRATULATIONS TO CUSTOMER SERVICE PROFESSIONALS, AND FOR ALL THEY DO, AS YOU MENTIONED, UH, FOR THEIR DEPARTMENTS, OUR RESIDENTS, AND THE TOWN, SO.

AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU.

COUNCILOR SUNDSTROM.

I WANT TO SAY HOW EXCITED I AM ABOUT THE PLAYGROUNDS. I'M GLAD WE'RE, WE'RE GETTING GOING AND SCHOOL'S STARTED AGAIN, SO THIS IS GREAT. UM, AND THE COMMUNITY CENTER PLAYGROUND'S UP FIRST, OCTOBER 8TH, UH, AND I UNDERSTAND IT'S OPEN NOW FOR PLAY. OKAY, WONDERFUL. DO WE KNOW IF THE HEIGHTS AT OR ABACOA ARE OPEN NOW OR WILL BE? I HAVEN'T BEEN DOWN THERE RECENTLY.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THEY WILL BE.

UM, BUT AS OF TODAY, I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER.

MY FIRST TIME, REALLY, AFTER 3 YEARS NOT HAVING TO DEAL SOLELY WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

SO CATCHING UP ON A LOT OF THINGS.

THINGS HAVE CHANGED A LITTLE BIT, THAT'S TRUE. UM, WELL, MY FAMILY AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING BY THESE SITES PRETTY FREQUENTLY, HOPING THEY WOULD OPEN EARLY, AS THEY TYPICALLY DO. SO WE'D LOVE, I KNOW YOU POSTED THE ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE COMMUNITY CENTER. I HOPE YOU'LL POST IT FOR THE HYPE. UM, I SEE THE KIDS, YOU KNOW, RIDING THEIR BIKES BY THAT SITE,

[01:35:01]

HOPING IT'LL OPEN SOON, UM, AND ABACO AS WELL. AND THEN I ALSO, I DO JUST WANT TO TOUCH AND THANK STAFF FOR, UH, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I REMEMBER WALKING DOWN FOR A MEETING WITH P&Z, AND I MEAN, THEY'RE ONE OF MANY DEPARTMENTS THAT TALK TO OUR RESIDENTS ALL DAY, EVERY DAY, AND JUST HOW SURPRISED I AM AT HOW MANY QUESTIONS AND CALLS THEY GET FOR, UM, UNDERSTANDING SETBACKS FOR THEIR HOMES, FOR CHANGES THEY WANT TO MAKE OR EXPANSIONS. THERE'S SO MUCH, UM, THAT WE'RE NOT DEALING WITH ON THIS DAIS HERE IN THIS ROOM, BUT THAT'S BEING SO MANY CHANGES IN THIS TOWN AT THE SMALLER SCALE, AND IT'S KEEPING EVERYONE SO BUSY, TAKING SO MUCH WORK AND RESEARCH AND GRACE UNDER PRESSURE AND REPEATED CALLS.

AND SO I JUST WANT TO SAY HOW GRATEFUL I AM, NOT ONLY TO P&Z STAFF, BUT TO ALL DEPARTMENTS, UM, THAT HAVE TO DO THAT EVERY DAY. THANK YOU, REALLY, ON THE FRONT LINES. SO IT'S APPRECIATED.

I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION SINCE YOU BROUGHT UP THE PARKS.

IT'S NOT WORTHY OF A RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY, BUT HAS THE RESTROOMS BEEN OPENED AT INDIAN CREEK? THAT MIGHT BE A RIBBON CUTTING.

I KNOW WE'RE GETTING CLOSE ON THAT, AND AND UH, COUNCILOR GUISINGER, WE ARE NOT PLANNING A RIBBON CUTTING FOR THE OKAY.

FOR THE RESTROOM.

YOU DO NOT WANT TO TAKE THIS THAT WOULD BE, THAT WOULD BE A VIRTUAL RIBBON CUTTING.

OKAY, IF YOU DO, I'D LIKE TO WATCH YOU CUT THE RIBBON THERE.

YEAH, A LITTLE OFF SUBJECT, UM, THE JUPITER INLET DISTRICT IS, HAS APPLIED OR IS APPLYING WITH THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS TO DO A ONE-TIME DREDGE OF THE INLET, AND WILL BE SORT OF IN A SOUTHWEST, UH, SOUTHEAST DIRECTION. I DON'T HAVE THE DIMENSIONS OF IT YET, BUT THEY'RE, UM, I THEY'RE, THEY'RE GONNA DO IT. UM, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TIME IS.

LONG OVERDUE.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

YEAH, GOOD.

COUNSELOR.

I'LL GET MORE INFORMATION ON IT, BUT THAT IS IN THE WORKS WITH THAT.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, CONCERNS DOWN AT THE INLET, AND I SORT OF WANT TO TOUCH ON WHAT YOU SAID. THIS MEETING HAS A LITTLE BIT, NOW THE FIRE IS UNDERWAY, STARTED, A LITTLE DIFFERENT FEELING HERE, AND HE'S NOT AS STRESSED AND, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE MORE RELAXED OUT THERE. SO, AND AGAIN, CHIEF, GREAT JOB. IT MUST BE GREAT, HUH? JUST FINALLY.

EVERYBODY HAPPY? GOOD. THAT'S IT.

COUNCILOR DELANEY, CAN I JUST ASK, YOU SAID, UM, BECAUSE WE, THEY DO THE SAND TRAP, SO YOU'RE SAYING THEY'RE GOING TO GO FOR THE FIRST TIME.

THEY'RE GOING TO GO, UH, JETTIES OUT SEAWARD, AND THAT THEY WILL MONITOR.

THEY DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO LAST FOR. IT'S GOING TO FILL IN. SO IF YOU DO, IF YOU DREDGE, IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE A, THIS IS JUST A ONE-TIME SORT OF A PILOT PROGRAM. SO THEY'RE GOING TO, AND IT'S IN THE WORKS. THEY'LL HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, DREDGE IT, MONITOR THE DOWNSTREAM FLOW OF THE SAND AS IT, IF IT GOES DOWN TO THE, UP TO THE NORTH DOWN, SO YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S GONNA GO, BUT THEY SORT OF MONITOR THAT AND THEN GO FROM THERE.

AND IT'S A PILOT, IT'S ONLY ONE TIME.

YEAH, BECAUSE THAT'S AN ONGOING... COULD I, I THINK IT COULD FILL IN IN A WEEK FOR THE STORM, BUT THEY SAID, THEY SAID IT SHOULD LAST 3 OR 4 MONTHS, BUT NO ONE'S SURE, SO.
