WE DON'T HAVE ANY PROCLAMATIONS OR SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS. BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO PUBLIC TO BE HEARD, I'D LIKE TO SHARE OUR STANDARDS. OUR MEETINGS ARE TO CONDUCT BUSINESS OF THE CITY, WE ASK THAT ALL PARTICIPANTS UPHOLD THE PRINCIPLES OF CIVILITY, HONOR AND DIGNITY.

PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. >> 4202 SOUTH LANE, PORT ST. LUCIE. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE MEETING IS AT 6:00. I -- PEOPLE HAVE WORK, WHO MADE THIS MEETING AT 6:00, IS THAT STANDARD FOR THE TOWNSHIP? >> THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO US. AFTER PUBLIC IS TO BE HEARD IS OVER WE'LL ABC QUESTIONS. >> I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE TIME BECAUSE OF WORK. I'M A VICTIM OF IDENTITY THEFT, FRAUD, AND APPARENTLY YOUR POLICE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE TO KNOW ABOUT CREDIT CARD SCAMS, PHONE SCAMS, AND CARD CLONING. I THINK WE NEED TO TRAIN THE POLICE A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THIS. I FILED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. BUT EVERY TIME I TALK TO A COP, THEY'RE LIKE, YOU CAN'T START A CAR WITHOUT A KEY. IT CAN BE DONE. THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE AWARE OF IT, AND WE NEED TO LOOK INTO IT, TRAINING THESE OFFICERS ON WHAT TO LOOK FOR. MY CAR WAS CLONED, SOMEONE BROKE INTO MY CAR, THEY MISTOOK MY CREDIT CARDS, BANK ACCOUNT, EVERYTHING. PAY PAL, YOUTUBE, EVERY ACCOUNT I GOT HACKED. ALL MY APPS WERE HACKED, I HAD TO GET A NEW PHONE. APPARENTLY THIS STUFF IS GOING ON IN OTHER TOWNS. WE NEED TO GET MORE KNOWLEDGE OF IT. OKAY? >> MAYOR: THANK YOU, SIR. WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON ANY NONAGENDA RELATED ITEM? SEEING NO ONE, I'LL CLOSE PUBLIC TO BE HEARD. SO OUR MEETINGS HAVE BEEN 6:00 FOR A FEW YEARS NOW, WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES IN THE PAST WITH REGARD TO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIME SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT INFORMATION. ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS? >> I DO. >> WE USED TO ONLY MEET AT 6:00, AND THEN WE CHANGED THE MEETINGS TO WHERE ONE MEETING IS AT 1:00 P.M., AND THE OTHER IS AT 6:00 P.M., THAT WAY YOU KIND OF HIT EVERYONE. WE KNOW WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT WORK NIGHT SHIFTS, AND SOME THAT WORK THE DAY SHIFTS, AND THIS ALLOWS EVERYBODY TO ATTEND. WHICH I THINK HAS WORKED QUITE WELL SINCE WE CHANGED IT. >> MAYOR: AND THE OTHER THING IS, WE HAD THEM LATER MANY YEARS AGO, BUT THEN THE COUNCIL MEETINGS WOULD GO TO LATE, THAT SOMETIMES PEOPLE WOULD BE HERE UNTIL 1:00 IN THE MORNING, AND WE GOT COMPLAINTS ABOUT HAVING THE MEETINGS START SO LATE AS WELL. THAT WAS ANOTHER REASON WHY WE HAVE IT AT 6:00. COUNCILMAN BONNA? >> I WAS GOING TO ECHO SOME OF THOSE COMMENTS. A CITY OF OVER A QUARTER MILLION PEOPLE, IT'S HARD TO FIND A TIME THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE. ATTEMPT TO REACH AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE COULD, BUT YOU GUYS COVERED THAT ELOQUENTLY. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. >> THE CHIEF OF POLICE IS RIGHT THERE IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM, AND YOU CAN TALK TO HIM OR HE'LL TALK TO YOU WITH YOUR CONCERNS. BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE THOSE CONCERNS, I HAVE THOSE CONCERNS ALSO. AND I'M SURE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM DO, BECAUSE A LOT OF US HAVE KEYLESS ENTRIES. HE'LL BE HAPPY TO TALK TO YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO DELETIONS AND ADDITIONS, AND APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA. >> MOVE TO APPROVE THE AGENDA. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> MAYOR: MOTION CARRIES. MOVING ON TO APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA. DOES ANYONE HAVE AN ITEM THEY'D LIKE TO MOVE FOR DISCUSSION? IF NOT, CAN I HAVE A MOTION? >> MOVE CONSENT. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> MAYOR: CONSENT AGENDA APPROVED.

LUCIE TO INCLUDE A SMALL-SCALE AMENDMENT TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP TO CHANGE THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF APPROXIMATELY 28.6 ACRES OF LAND FROM LIMITED COMMERCIAL, LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AND OPEN SPACE RECREATION TO COMMERCIAL GENERAL/INSTITUTIONAL FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3500 SOUTHEAST MORNINGSIDE BOULEVARD. GENERALLY LOCATED NORTH OF THE NORTH FORK OF THE ST. LUCIE RIVER, SOUTH OF SOUTHEAST WESTMORELAND BOULEVARD BETWEEN THE WESTERN TERMINUS OF SOUTHEAST PINE VALLEY STREET AND THE EASTERN TERMINUS OF SOUTHEAST MORNINGSIDE BOULEVARD. >> MAYOR: GOOD EVENING, MISS GRUBS. >> BETHANY GRUBS FOR THE RECORD WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. THE APPLICATION BEFORE YOU IS A SMALL SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAP AMENDMENT. FOR SAND PIPER BAY RESORT FORMERLY KNOWN AS CLUB MED SANDPIPER BAY. THIS REQUEST IS FOR A SMALL SCALE FUTURE LAND USE AMENDMENT AS IT IS UNDER 50 ACRES IN SIZE TO MODIFY THE DESIGNATION OF THREE PORTIONS OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY TOTALING 126.8. THE APPLICANTS ARE KEITH AND MPLD CONSULTING WHO ARE REPRESENTING THE PROPERTY OWNER, FOR THE PROPERTY ADDRESS 3500 SOUTHEAST MORNINGSIDE BOULEVARD WHICH IS GENERALLY LOCATED IN THE NORTH FORK OF THE ST. LUCIE RIVER, SOUTH OF SOUTHEAST WESTMORELAND BOULEVARD BETWEEN THE WESTERN TERMINUS OF SOUTHEAST PINE VALLEY STREET AND EAST SIDE MORNINGSIDE BOULEVARD. THE AREA OUTLINED IN YELLOW IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS APPLICATION OUT OF THE WHOLE ENTIRE 200 PLUS ACRE PROPERTY WE ARE LOOKING AT MERELY THIS 28.6 ACRES AND THE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT BEFORE YOU IS ESSENTIALLY CLEAN UP TO AS YOU SEE UNDERLYING IN THE AERIAL THERE IS EXISTING FIELDS AND BUILDINGS AND FORMER ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY WHICH STILL RETAINS A RESIDENTIAL LOW LAND USE AND HERE'S THE ACREAGE BREAK DOWN HERE. LET'S GO FORWARD ONE. THERE IS NO CHANGE ABOVE THE RED LINE WHICH IS THE FORMER DEFUNCT GOLF COURSE AND BELOW THE RED LINE ONLY THE BOTTOM PORTION, THE 28.6 ACRES IS SUBJECT TO THE LAND USE AND THEN THERE IS AN AREA IN BETWEEN THE TWO THAT WILL -- IS PROPOSING SPORTS COURTS AND FIELDS UNDER A SITE PLAN APPLICATION. SO AS I PREVIOUSLY STATED THE RL LAND USE THERE IS .4 ACRES WHICH WAS AN ABANDONED ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY. IT CAME BACK UPON RESEARCH THAT THERE IS A MAPPING AREA AND SANDPIPER BAY RESORT PROPERTY IS ACTUALLY INCLUDING THAT ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY AS IT WAS FORMERLY ABANDONED SO WE WILL BE WORKING WITH THE PROPERTY APPRAISER TO INCLUDE THAT IN THE BOUNDS OF THEIR PROPERTY AS IT IS REFLECTED ON THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION. THE CGI LAST YEAR AND EARLIER THIS YEAR THE SCHOOL AND -- THE SCHOOL HAD LAND USE AMENDMENT TO CGI TO ALLOW FOR OPERATIONAL NEEDS FOR THE SCHOOL AND RESORT WHO ARE DUAL PRIMARY USERS OF THE PROPERTY SO THIS IS A REQUEST TO HAVE THAT EXTENDED DOWN TO THE RESORT AND ALSO WHERE THE EXISTING SPORTS COURTS AND FIELDS ARE UNDER CGI. THE REST OF THE PROPERTY WILL REMAIN OPEN SPACE RECREATIONAL. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THIS AMENDMENT. AGAIN FOR THE CITY'S FUTURE LAND USE MAP TO REDESIGNATE 28.6 ACRES OF PROPERTY FOR LIMITED LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL WHICH IS THE ABANDONED RIGHT-OF-WAY PORTION, A SMALL SECTION OF OPEN SPACE RECREATIONAL AND THE MAJORITY OF THE RESORT SITE TO CGI. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT APPLIES TO THESE THREE DISTINCT PORTIONS OF THE PROPERTY AND ARE -- AS I STATED BEFORE ARE PREVIOUSLY ABANDONED RIGHT-OF-WAY WITH RESORT NAMINGS IN THE USES AND CURRENTLY USED FOR SPORTS COURTS AND FIELDS AFFILIATED WITH THE ON SITE ACADEMY. THE AMENDMENT SEEKS TO CONSOLIDATE THE RESORT, ACADEMY AND EXISTING MARINA WHICH IS CURRENTLY LEASED BY FREEDOM BOAT CLUBS UNDER A SINGLE APPROPRIATE DESIG DESIGNATION. THE PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE AMENDMENT IS SUPPORTED BY GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE POLICY 1.1.4.2 GENERAL COMMERCIAL LAND USE ACCOMMODATES HOTELS AND RESORT USES PER POLICY 1.1.4.4 THE INSTITUTIONAL LAND USE IS DESIGNATED TO ACCOMMODATE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INSTITUTIONAL SITES SUCH AS SCHOOLS AND THEIR ACCESSORY USES AND BEYOND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSISTENCY THE AMENDMENT ADVANCES STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS OF BUILDING SMART AND CONNECTED CITY AND FOSTERING A DIVERSE ECONOMY AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. WHILE IT IS NOT DIRECTLY TIED TO TARGET INDUSTRY THE JOB CREATION THE AMENDMENT IS INTENDED TO IMPROVE THE RESORT AND ACADEMY'S ABILITY TO OPERATE EFFECTIVELY AND CONTRIBUTE TO PROGRAMS THAT BROADENS AND DIVERSIFIES THE LOCAL ECONOMY. FOR POLICY 1.1.7.1 OF THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT WHICH STATES THAT THE CITY SHLL REVIEW FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENTS BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF LAND REQUIRED TO ACCOMMODATE ANTICIPATED GROWTH, THE CHARACTER OF UNDEVELOPED LAND, THE AVAILABILITY OF WATER SUPPLY, PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES, THE NEED FOR JOB CREATION, CAPITAL INVESTMENT AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS THE NEED TO SATISFY A DEFICIENCY OR MIX OF USES IN THE LAND USE MAP. WHEN REVIEWING THIS PROPERTY AND ITS AMENDMENT FOR ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT LAND USE IS EXPECTED TO HAVE A NET INCREASE IN THE DEMAND OF POTABLE WATER BY 14,581 GALLONS PER DAY AND WASTEWATER BY 12,393 GALLONS PER DAY. AND THIS IS BASED OFF OF THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED USE AT MAXIMUM DEVELOPMENT CAPACITY UNDER THE PROPOSED LAND USE BEING REQUESTED. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED ENTIRELY WITHIN ZONE X OF THE FIRM INSURANCE -- THE FLORIDA INSURANCE RATE MAP WHICH IS DESIGNATED BY FEMA WHICH INCLUDES AREAS OF MINIMAL FLOOD HAZARDS AND AREAS WITH A .2% CHANCE OF FLOOD HAZARD. THERE ARE NO ANTICIPATED IMPACTS TO PARKS OR PUBLIC SCHOOLS AS THIS AMENDMENT DOES NOT INVOLVE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. NOT RESIDENTIAL IN NATURE. AND THE SUBJECT PROPERTY CONTAINS AN ESTIMATED 1.23 ACRE WETLAND UNDER PRESERVATION IN THE FAR EAST LOWER CORNER YOU CAN SEE ON THE MAP THAT THERE IS AN AREA DESIGNATED OSP LAND USE AND THAT IS WHERE THE MAIN GROUP AREA IS. WHEN REVIEWING TRAFFIC FOR THE MOST INTENSE USE ON THE PROPOSED LAND USE AND COMPARISON TO THE EXISTING, THERE IS AN INCREASE DAILY TRIPS PER DAY PROPOSED AND THAT'S BECAUSE OPEN SPACE RECREATION HAS A LOT LOWER OF GENERATION THAN THE CGI. HOWEVER, WHEN COMPARING CL TO CGI AND THE SIZE OF THE DEVELOPMENT THEY ARE COMPARABLE AS THE MAXIMUM USES ALLOW WHICH IS SHOPPING CENTER OVER 150,000 SQUARE FEET BUT WITH THAT BEING SAID WITH THE CHANGE OF OSR TO CGI THERE IS AN INCREASE OF APPROXIMATELY 1800 DAILY TRIPS AND POWER PRIPS OF 174 WITH AN INCREASE. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THE PETITION IS -- STAFF FINDS THAT THE PETITION IS CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENT AND DIRECTION OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND RECOMMENDATIONS APPROVAL. THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT AT THE JANUARY 20TH, 2026 PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING. I DID WANT TO MENTION THAT THIS LAND USE DOES NOT CHANGE THE ENTITLEMENTS CURRENTLY ON THE PROPERTY WHICH IS 335 RESORT UNITS, 150 STUDENT CAPACITY AND 100 SLIP MARINA. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. THANK YOU >> AND THE APPLICANT DOES HAVE A PRESENTATION AS WELL. >> MAYOR: ANY QUESTIONS FOR MISS GRUBS? NO? MR. CITY MANAGER, CAN YOU PLEASE ADDRESS THE -- I SAW AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT THE CITY OF PORT ST. LUCIE'S WATER CAPACITY. CAN YOU PLEASE ADDRESS THE FACT THAT WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY PLENTY OF WATER CAPACITY? >> YES, MA'AM. I WILL DEFINITELY ADDRESS THAT, YES. THE CITY HAS PLENTY OF WATER AND SEWER CAPACITY. CURRENTLY WE HAVE TWO WATER TREATMENT PLANTS ABLE TO TREAT ROUGHLY 33 MILLION GALLONS OF POTABLE WATER PER DAY AND AN ESTIMATED WASTEWATER CAPACITY OF AROUND 20 MILLION GALLONS. AT THIS TIME WE ARE BEGINNING THE PROCESS OF MOVING FORWARD WITH THE POTENTIAL DESIGN OF A NEW WATER PLANT AND A NEW WASTEWATER PLANT IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS SO AS FAR AS CAPACITY THERE IS NOT AN ISSUE WHEN IT COMES TO CAPACITY. >> MAYOR: AND FOR OUR UTILITY WE PLAN FOR 50 TO 100 YEARS OUT, CORRECT? >> ABSOLUTELY. WE'RE IN A PLANNING PHASE OF 50 TO 100 YEARS OUT AND WE HAVE DONE THAT GOING BACK AT LEAST 30 YEARS AGO WE STARTED THE PROCESS. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE ADDRESSED THAT. >> THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: MISS MILLER? GOOD EVENING. >> GOOD EVENING. HOW ARE YOU DOING? REBECCA MILLER WITH MPLD CONSULTING IT IS A PLEASURE TO BE HERE AND JUST BEFORE I SAY ANYTHING AND GO INTO MY PRESENTATION I WANT TO THANK STAFF. STAFF HAS BEEN REMARKABLE THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND WORKED WITH US SO DILIGENTLY AND ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR US AND THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR INTEREST IN THIS EXCITING VENTURE THAT WE HAVE GOING ON IN THIS POCKET OF PORT ST. LUCIE SO I LOOK FORWARD TO PRESENTING TO YOU AND I'M THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG THIS EVENING BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF EXCITED PEOPLE BEHIND ME SO THIS IS THEIR FIRST PUBLIC HEARING FOR A CITY COUNCIL SO IT IS GREAT TO SEE THEIR EXCITEMENT AND THE FACT THAT THEY ARE HERE AND THEIR INTEREST SO I WILL GET THIS STARTED. OUT OF PERMISSION, I WAS HOPING TO DO ONE PRESENTATION TO LIMIT THE EXTENT AND WE HAVE A PUD AND AS NUMBER 10E AMENDMENT AS WELL AND IF I COULD COVER THAT UNDER ONE PRESENTATION. IS THAT ACCEPTABLE? >> MAYOR: WE WILL ENTER IT INTO THE RECORD WHEN WE GET TO IT. >> OKAY. THANK YOU. SO AS FAR AS OUR REPRESENTATION, MYSELF, I'M THE PRESIDENT OF MPLD CONSULTING AND WE HAVE APPLICANTS AND WE HAVE A GREAT DESIGN TEAM KEITH ENGINEERING, SIMMONS AND WHITE FOR TRAFFIC, MAIN CONSULTING FOR OUR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING AND BRICKLY LAND SURVEYING SO THAT'S YOUR NEWEST COMPANY IN PORT ST. LUCIE, I THINK, STEVE BRICKLY STARTED HIS OWN FIRM. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR SCHOOL HERE, RPS EXCELLENCE SO SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP IN PRIOR MEETINGS AND SO ON I WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HERE. 22 OF THE 123 STUDENTS AT RPS. >> MAYOR: HOLD ON ONE SECOND. SO IF WE ARE GOING TO ENTER THIS INTO THE RECORD FOR BOTH I HAVE TO HAVE YOU SWORN IN BY THE CLERK BECAUSE THE NEXT ONE IS QUASI-JUDICIAL. >> PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. DO YOU SOLEMNLY SWEAR TO TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH SO HELP YOU GOD? >> I DO. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. >> OUT OF THE 123 STUDENTS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE AT RPS, IT 2 OF THEM ACTUALLY LIVE IN THE DIRECT LOCAL NEIGHBORHOODS AND SO THAT'S I THINK AN IMPORTANT POINT TO BRING UP. 18% OF THE SCHOOL POPULATION. 16% OF THE STUDENT BODY LIVE ON SITE AND WE ARE RECOGNIZED AS A PREMIER SPORTS ACADEMY. IT HAS BOTH INTERNATIONAL AND LOCAL STUDENT ATHLETES. THE GROUP IS TRULY AMAZING AND IT MAKES ME WANT TO START PLAYING TENNIS AGAIN AND WORKING OUT JUST A LITTLE MORE EVERY TIME I'M AT THE SCHOOL. 100% OF RPS STUDENTS PLACE AND SO THAT IS AN AMAZING STATISTIC COMING OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL, 100% INCLUDING SCHOLARSHIPS TO TOP DIVISION, AND ANAI SCHOOLS AND SO IT IS A REALLY TERRIFIC, TERRIFIC PROGRAM. SO HERE OUR FIRST ITEM AGENDA WE HAVE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND SO THIS IS AN ENTIRE SITE. IT IS A VERY UNUSUAL SITE. WE HAVE AN ALL INCLUSIVE RESORT AND A BOARDING SCHOOL ALL ON THE SAME PROPERTY WHICH IS NOT A TYPICAL, YOU KNOW, COMBINED USE BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT MAKES THIS PROPERTY VERY, VERY SPECIAL SO IT IS INTEGRATING THE ACADEMIC AND RESORT USES UNDER ONE LAND USE WHICH IS COMMERCIAL GENERAL AND INSTITUTIONAL. THE CITY REQUESTED WE HAD SOME -- WE HAD OLD LAND USES FLOATING AROUND ON OUR SITE AND AS I BELIEVE IT NO LONGER IN USE BY THE CITY SO WE ARE TRYING TO CLEAN THINGS UP A BIT AND SO WE ARE TAKING A KIND OF A MIXED BAG OF USES, COMMERCIAL LIMITED AND WE HAVE AN RL USE UP IN THE UPPER CORNER THAT IS ACTUALLY A RESIDENTIAL USE THAT COMES WITH US THROUGH A RIGHT-OF-WAY AREA ASSIGNED SO WE ARE GETTING RID OF THAT AND WE HAVE OPEN SPACE RECREA RECREATIONAL AND THEN IN THE VERY LOWER RIGHT-HAND SIDE YOU WILL SEE WETLANDS NONE OF THOSE AREAS ARE BEING DISTURBED AND OPEN SPACE RECREATION AS WELL ON THE ENTRY OF THE PINE VALLEY SIDE. SO THIS AERIAL DEPICTS EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING OUR WORK AND OUR HOPES AND DREAMS ARE GOING TO BE PLANTED FIRMLY IN THESE AREAS SO IF YOU SEE IT, THIS IS WHERE ALL OF THE NEW SPORTS FIELDS ARE GOING AND THEN OVER ON THE RIGHT BOTTOM YOU HAVE AN AREA OF EXISTING BUILDING THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE TEARING DOWN AND PUTTING A NEW STUDENT UNION ON. THIS IS WHAT THE EXISTING NORTHERN PARCEL LOOKS LIKE AND IT LOOKS THAT ONE TREE LOOKS A BIT SAD SITTING OUT THERE BUT THIS IS IT SO IT IS THE PERFECT SPOT. SO OUR SITE PLAN IMPROVEMENTS ARE ADVENTUROUS. WE HAVE VERY, YOU KNOW, A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT AMENITIES COMING IN. WE HAVE A DIFFERENT USES AND SO I'M GOING TO TAKE YOU THROUGH IT REALLY QUICKLY SO YOU CAN SEE KIND OF WHAT THE FULL ACTIVITIES IN THE FUTURE ARE GOING TO BE. WE HAVE A FUTURE DRIVING RANGE BUILDING THAT IS AT THE VERY TOP. I HAVE IT LISTED AS FUTURE RATHER THAN PROPOSED BECAUSE WE ARE ANTICIPATING DOING THAT IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. CURRENTLY OUR STUDENTS GOLF AT BALLENTRE AND WE HOPE THAT CONTINUES TO GROW SO WE HOPE WE NEVER NEED THAT BUILDING BUT I LEFT IT ON THERE JUST IN CASE. WE HAVE A PROPOSED 21 NEW TENNIS COURTS AND THAT IS ALL OUT THERE THIS IN THAT FIELD WE JUST LOOKED AT. WE HAVE PROPOSED 54 NEW PARKING SPOTS THAT ARE GOING IMMEDIATELY NEXT TO THE MORNINGSIDE ENTRY AND WE HAVE A PROPOSED RELOCATION OF A GUARDHOUSE THAT IS TO ALLOW FOR THIS NEW -- THIS NEW PARKING LOT IN ADDITION TO RELIEVING US SOME OF THE STRESS OF OUR EXISTING ENTRY I WILL GO INTO IT LATER IN THE PRESENTATION. WE HAVE A PROPOSED GOLF COURT STORAGE, A SMALL BUILDING THERE FOR THE GOLF CARTS TO LIVE IN AND I AM JUST SHOWING YOU WHERE OUR EXISTING DORMS ARE DOWN AT THE VERY BOTTOM OVER TO THE RIGHT-HAND LOWER PROPOSED SHORT COURSE COMPETITION POOL SO THIS IS SOMETHING WE'RE HOPING TO GIVE THE KIDS AND IF NOT COMPETITION THEN AT LEAST A LOVELY PLACE TO LAY OUT AND ENJOY THE FLORIDA SUNSHINE. PROPOSED COVERED TENNIS COURTS THESE ARE EXISTING COURTS AND WE ARE PUTTING AN OPEN AIR RAIN COVERING ON TOP OF THEM. I WILL SHOW YOU THE PHOTO OF THE KIND OF THING WE ARE THINKING OF LATER ON IN THE PRESENTS. PROPOSED PICKLEBALL COURTS, RECREATION BUILDING VERY SPECIFICALLY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT BATHROOMS, OPEN AIR PLACE FOR THEM FOR REFUGE FOR RAIN AND SUN STORAGE AREA AND A LIGHTNING REFUGE. UP IN THE UPPER RIGHT-HAND SIDE WE HAVE PROPOSED SAND VOLLEYBALL COURTS AND AS YOU CAN SEE I'VE INCLUDED IN SOME GREEN THERE OUR DISTANCE FROM OUR NEAREST NEIGHBORS AT THE LOWER LEFT-HAND SIDE WHERE THE NEW COURTS ARE GOING IN WE ARE THE CLOSEST LOCATION 123 FEET AWAY FROM THE NEAREST HOME AND THEN ATLANTA THE VERY FURTHEST SIDE OF THE TENNIS COURTS ON THE WEST SIDE IS 234 FEET FROM OUR CLOSEST NEIGHBOR AND 249 FEET FROM OUR CLOSEST NEIGHBOR TO THE NORTH WHERE OUR TENNIS COURTS ARE AND THEN 111 FEET TO OUR NEAREST NEIGHBOR WHERE OUR VALLEY BALL COURTS ARE. TO THE EAST IT IS 900 FEET SO ANY HOMES SO THAT IS A GOOD AMOUNT OF SPACE. ALONG THIS ENTIRE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPOSED COURTS IS AN ENORMOUS LANDSCAPE BUFFER. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THIS I REALLY WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT HOW LONG THIS IS. 550 FEET IN LENGTH AND 28 FEET WIDE AND FIVE FEET HIGH WITHOUT COUNTING THE PLANTS THAT ARE GOING ON IT. SO WE ARE DOING THIS BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE A LONG-RANGE VIEW STILL FOR THOSE OCCUPANTS OF THOSE HOMES ON THE NEAR MORNINGSIDE BOULEVARD AND ALSO PREVENT ANY SORT OF SOUND FROM MOVING THROUGH THE AREA INTO THOSE FOLKS' BACK YARDS. TENNIS BALLS BOUNCING ALMOST ALL AT GROUND LEVEL AND THERE IS NOTHING MORE EFFECTIVE THAN LANDSCAPE AND A BERM FOR THOSE USES SO JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE DIAGRAM OF OUR LANDSCAPE BERM IT IS ALSO DOES A LOT AS FAR AS ALSO RETAINING AND CONTROLLING DRAINAGE AND WATER. IT IS ALSO A SWALE. SO ON ONE SIDE IT IS STEEPLY GOES UP, WITHIN 15 FEET GOES UP TO THE FIVE FOOT HEIGHT AND THEN ON THE WEST SIDE IS A MUCH MORE GRADUAL SLOPE INTO A SWALE THAT WILL HELP CONTROL THE DRAINAGE. MOST OF THE SOUND GENERATED BY THE TENNIS COURTS AGAIN GROUND LEVEL AND HOPEFULLY YOU CAN SEE WITH THOSE TREES PLANTED ON TOP YOUR HEIGHT IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE CLOSER AT FULL GROWTH TO 20 TO 25 FEET IN HEIGHT. SO JUST WANT TO GO OVER DRAINAGE. WE HAD SOME AT THE P AND Z MEETING CONCERNED CITIZENS TALKING ABOUT DRAINAGE SO I WANTED TO GO INTO IT A LITTLE BIT JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR FELLOW CITIZENRY AND NEIGHBORS UNDERSTAND WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK TO GET US HERE SO A BERM WITH A DEFINED SWALE WILL BE CONSTRUCTED ALONG THE SOUTH EDGE OF THE PROPOSED TENNIS COURTS TO DETER RUNOFF FROM NEIGHBORHOODS ALONG MORNINGSIDE BOULEVARD AND THIS DESIGN CRITERIA IS SUBJECT TO THE MOST STRINGENT SOUTH WATER FLORIDA MANAGEMENT RULES THAT WENT INTO EFFECT IN JANUARY SO THEY'VE GOTTEN VERY STRINGENT AND WILL NOT BE APPROVED FOR CONSTRUCTION WITHOUT MEETING THE M METRICS OF THE DESIGN VOLUMES SO WE WILL BE THE TOP PERFORMING AREA FOR THESE CRACKS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE IN OUR EXISTING COURTS. THE SCHOOL IS TRYING TO OFFER TOP OF THE LINE TENNIS, SO THAT WHEN THEY GO, AND PERFORM AT A TOURNAMENT OUTSIDE OF OUR SCHOOL, THEY'RE GOING LIKE TO LIKE, SO THEY'RE BOUNCE IS THE SAME AT SCHOOL AS IT IS ON THE TOURNAMENT COURT. THAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE U.S. OPEN COLORS THAT THE COURTS WILL BE, BUT EVERYTHING WILL BE TO A VERY HIGH STANDARD. THE PROPOSED COVERED TENNIS COURT LOCATION, HIGHLIGHTING THAT FOR YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR EXISTING COURTS, AND THIS IS THE KIND OF THING WE'RE LOOKING AT, THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT IDEAS WE CAN DO, BUT EVERYTHING WILL BE OPEN AIR, AND WE'LL HAVE SOME SORT OF A COVERING OVER THE TOP, WE'RE LOOKING AT DIFFERENT MODELS WE CAN USE, BEST PRACTICES FROM OTHER LOCAL AREAS THAT HAVE COVERED COURTS, COLLEGES, UNIVERSITIES IN FLORIDA, SO WE WILL BE BRINGING THAT IN OBVIOUSLY THROUGH PERMITTED PROCESS. AND THE PROPOSED PICKLEBALL COURTS AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN, I KNOW SOME PEOPLE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT PICKLEBALL, ALL OF OUR COURTS INCIDENTALLY ARE OPEN AND AVAILABLE TO OUR CLIENTS AND GUESTS OF THE RESORT. SO THEY CAN ALSO BOOK LESSONS, THINGS LIKE THAT SO IT GIVES THE COACHES AT THE SCHOOL OPPORTUNITIES TO EARN AN ADDITIONAL INCOME, BY PROVIDING LESSONS OUTSIDE OF THE HOURS OF THE SCHOOL. IT'S AN EXCITING TIME, I KNOW PICKLEBALL IS A VERY POPULAR SPORT. SO THIS IS OUR EXISTING TENNIS COURT STRUCTURE AGAIN, ARCHITECTURALLY, NOT THE BEST, AND HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS. SO WE'RE HOPING TO REPLACE THIS WITH THIS, AND ESSENTIALLY THIS IS A BUILDING. TWO THIRDS AND ONE THIRD IN THE BUILDING, THOSE ARE COMPLETELY OPEN AREAS, SO THAT IS AN AREA, THAT'S GOING TO BE OPEN AIR SEATING. THERE'S GOING TO BE BIG FANS SO THEY CAN COOL OFF AND GET OUT OF THE RAIN. ON THE LEFT SIDE IS THE BATHROOMS, BOTH GIRLS AND BOYS, MIDDLE SECTION, LIGHTNING REFUGE, FAR LIGHT IS THE STORAGE FOR ALL THE SPORTS EQUIPMENT. SO LOTS OF STUFF NEEDS TO GET STORED OUT THERE, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO HAUL STUFF BACK IN AND OUT OF THE FIELDS. ALSO DRINKING FOUNTAINS, ICE, ALL THOSE REALLY IMPORTANT THINGS. THROUGHOUT THIS COURT SECTION, THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF MISTING FANS THAT KIND OF STUFF. ONE THING WE WORRY ABOUT, PARTICULARLY AT HARDCOURTS IS HEAT. KEEPING THOSE KIDS COOL IS A HUGE PART OF THE PLAN, SO THERE'S GOING TO BE MISTING FANS LOCATED THROUGH EVERY FOUR COURTS HERE, SO THE KIDS CAN GO GET A LITTLE COOLOFF, AND GO BACK AND HIT IT AGAIN. THAT IS THE LOCATION OF THE RECREATION BUILDING, CAN YOU SEE WE'RE FAR AWAY FROM OUR CLOSEST NEIGHBORS THERE. EXISTING SAND VOLLEYBALL COURTS ARE ON THE RESORT PROPERTY, AND THE RESORT LEASED SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, I SHOULD SAY, AND SAND PIPER BUILT THEM, CLUB MED BUILT THEM FOR THEIR USE, AND THE SCHOOL TOOK THEM OVER AND ARE UTILIZING THEM RIGHT NOW. BUT WE'RE TRYING TO BRING THEM ALL INTO THE SAME AREA, THE KIDS ARE IN ONE AREA, AND THE SPORTS ACTIVITIES ARE ALL IN ONE AREA. MUCH EASIER TO MAINTAIN AND ALSO KIND OF DIVIDE THESE TWO USES A LITTLE BIT MORE. AND ALSO, I KNOW ANYTHING THAT'S GIVEN US ANY TROUBLES ALONG THE PINE VALLEY ENTRY, SO THIS, BY REMOVING ALL OF THE GAMES THAT ARE CURRENTLY GOING ON THERE, AND TAKING THEM FURTHER INTO THE RESORT, I THINK THAT WILL HELP THE ENTRY SIGNIFICANTLY. SAND PIPER BAY RESORT MAY STILL KEEP A COUPLE OF THOSE VOLLEYBALL COURTS FOR THEIR GUESTS, NOT SURE WHAT THEIR PLANS ARE, HERE ON THIS, I'M SHOWING YOU WHERE THAT IS LOCATED, THAT PINE VALLEY ENTRY. AND THEN THIS IS THE FIELD WHERE THE COURTS ARE GOING TO GO. AND THESE AGAIN ARE SAND. AND THEY GO UP IN THAT RIGHT HAND CORNER, AND YOU CAN SEE NICE AREAS BEING ABLE TO WALK AND UTILIZE FACILITIES AT THE RECREATION BUILDING. THERE'S LOTS OF MISTING, WATER HAS TO BE USED FOR THESE COURTS N BETWEEN MATCHES, AND EVEN IN BETWEEN GAMES, WATER AT THE COURTS, THE SAND GETS MESSY, THESE KIDS NEED A LOT OF WATER AT THE COURTSIDE THIS WAY, WE'RE GOING TO BE UTILIZING STATE OF THE ART EQUIPMENT FOR THAT. THIS IS A FUTURE DRIVING RANGE, DRIVING, VERY SIMPLE, NOTHING FANCY, WE HAVE LITTLE GARAGE DOORS THAT COME DOWN TO PROTECT -- THEY'LL HAVE ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT IN THERE IF IT GETS BUILT THAT ACTUALLY MEASURES THE GOLF SWINGS, AND I THINK IT TELLS US HOW FAR THE BALL GOES, I'M NOT SURE. BUT -- JUST ALL OPEN AREA, EXCEPT FOR THE GARAGE DOOR THAT WILL PULL DOWN AT NIGHT FOR SECURITY. AND THAT'S THE LOCATION IN THE VERY TOP OF YOUR SCREEN ON THE NORTH SIDE. AND THIS AREA HERE IS OUR OTHER AREA THAT WE'RE COMING TO YOU TO SHOW YOU ABOUT, AND THAT IS KIND OF -- IT'S A MIXED PARKING AREA THAT WE'RE PUTTING N A GULF STORAGE BUILDING. THIS IS WHAT THE AERIAL LOOKS LIKE. IT'S A TIGHT INTERSECTION, AS YOU CAN SEE WITH THE GUARD HOUSE BEING SO FAR INTO THE RESORT, THERE'S A CHOKE AS FAR AS FOLKS COMING IN,ING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN AROUND IF THEY'RE IN THE WRONG SPOT. CURRENTLY WE FIND IT ANNOYS OUR NEIGHBORS AS WELL. THEY BACK UP INTO THAT DRIVE WAY THAT YOU SEE TO THE UPPER LEFT-HAND SIDE, IN ORDER TO BACK OUT, AND TURN AROUND. SO THERE'S CONGREGATION THERE, AND IT CAN GET A LITTLE BIT UNPLEASANT IN THE SENSE OF CARS CUEING UP, SO BY MOVING THIS, WE REALLY ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE A MUCH MORE COHESIVE AND PROBABLY THE WAY THEY'RE DESIGNED IN THIS DAY AND AGE. TO THE NORTH OF THAT, YOU SEE ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT TRAILERS AND WHAT NOT, THAT'S WHERE THE PARKING AREA IS GOING. T THE LOWER LEFT-HAND SIDE THAT IS WHERE THE GOLF CART BUILDING IS GOING. THIS IS THE EXISTING MORNINGSIDE ENTRY, AS CAN YOU SEE, YOU APPROACH ALL OF THAT LAND IN THAT LEFT-HAND SIDE IS ACTUALLY OURS. SO WE PLACED OUR INITIAL ENTRY, WHEN IT WAS BUILT WAY INSIDE OUR THROAT, AND SO WE WANT TO PUSH THAT OUT TO ALLOW FOR THAT TURNAROUND, YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THERE, THERE IS NOWHERE TO GO IF YOU PULL UP TO THAT GATE, YOU BACK RIGHT UP, THAT'S NOT A SCENE WE WANT TO CONTINUE. THIS IS JUST A CLOSEUP OF ALL OF THE STUFF THAT'S IN THE AREA THAT WE ARE CLEARING OUT TO MAKE OUR PARKING LOT, SO WE'RE NOT TAKING A BEAUTIFUL FOREST AND CREATING, WEAR NOT PAVING PARADISE. THIS IS ACTUAL SITE PLAN SHOWING WHERE EVERYTHING IS LOCATED. AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE OUR GUARD HOUSE MOVES BACK, ABOUT 25 FEET, AND ALLOWS FOR THAT NICE U-TURN IF YOU WILL, IF PEOPLE ARE IN THE WRONG SPOT. WITHIN OUR OWN SITE RATHER THAN BACKING UP INTO OUR NEIGHBOR'S DRIVE WAY. YOU CAN SEE, GET A LITTLE CLOSEUP OF OUR POOL PROPOSED THERE, AND OUR NICE PARKING LOT. OUR PUD AMENDMNT THAT'S A LITTLE FURTHER UP, IS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE OSR SECTION REALLY. MOSTLY, BECAUSE OSR UNDER OUR PUD WHEN IT WAS WRITTEN, AND ORIGINALLY WRITTEN, WAS ACTUALLY WRITTEN WITH RULES THAT ARE DIFFERENT THAN THE CITYWIDE STANDARDS, IN ORDER TO MAKE EVERYTHING -- SORRY, I HAVE A MOSQUITO OR SOMETHING. IN ORDER TO MAKE EVERYTHING CONSISTENT, WE ARE AMEANTING THIS PUD DOCUMENT TO BASICALLY REFLECT THE CITY'S OSR STANDARDS. IN OUR SPORTS AND COURT USES, SOCCER, TENNIS COURTS, VOLLEYBALL, PICKLEBALL, BASEBALL FIELDS. WE NEVER KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF BASEBALL FANS IN HERE, I HAPPEN TO KNOW ONE SITTING ON THE DAIS. WE NEVER KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING TO GO WITH THIS. MULTIUSE SPORTS FIELDS, GOLF CART INFRASTRUCTURE, INCLUDING CART PATHS AND CART PARKING AREAS, ACCESSORY STRUCTURES, INCLUDING ACCESSORY SPORTS, FENCE AND LIGHTNING INFRASTRUCTURE. BATHROOM STRUCTURES, SPORTS EQUIPMENT ROOMS, SHADE STRUCTURES AND REFUGE. EVERYTHING I SHOWED YOU ON THE PREVIOUS PLAN IS LISTED OUT IN WHAT OUR PUD WILL ALLOW. IF YOU WILL NOTE, NOWHERE IN OUR PUD DOES IT ALLOW FOR ANY RESIDENTIAL USE, PERIOD. IN FACT, WE'RE LOCKING IT DOWN IN THIS AMENDMENT TO REMOVE ANY RESIDENTIAL LAND USE CODE FROM OUR SITE HERE'S THE CONCEPT PLAN THAT STAFF ASKED US TO IDENTIFY ALL THE DIFFERENT ZONES WITHIN THE SITE. AS YOU CAN SEE, YOU HAVE TENNIS AND VOLLEYBALL COURT ZONE, STUDENT DORMITORIES, THE MARINA, GUEST SUITES, DINING. OVER TO THE LOWER RIGHT IS THE EXISTING MANGROVE ZONE. THAT IS NOT BEING TOUCHED HERE NOW OR EVER. I WANT TO GO BACK TO THIS FOR ONE SECOND. THE FUTURE EVENT PARKING, OUR PUD AMENDMENT ALLOWS US TO HAVE OVERFLOW PARKING IN THAT AREA WHERE THE ORIGINAL VOLLEYBALL COURTS ARE CURRENTLY. IF WE ARE ACCEPTING A CONDITION THAT IF PARKING BECOMES AN ISSUE ON SITE DURING SPECIAL EVENTS, THE RESORT IS HAVING, WE WILL DEVELOP THAT INTO ADDITIONAL OVERFLOW PARKING. THE TRAFFIC IMPACTS, ALL PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS ARE ADDITIONAL AMENITIES FOR EXISTING STUDENTS AND EXISTING RESORT GUESTS. THAT'S A LOT TO GET YOUR MIND AROUND, BUT IT'S THE TRUTH. THEREFORE, THESE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS DO NOT IMPACT CURRENT TRAFFIC LEVELS. ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES ARE BEING ADDED TO ACCOMMODATE OVERFLOW PARKING. OUR KIDS LIVE ON SITE, OUR SCHOOL POPULATION LIVES ON SITE, AND WE HAVE A RESORT WHERE PEOPLE GET OUT OF THE CAR AND DON'T LEAVE. ALL OF THIS, YOU KNOW -- ALL OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS ARE TO MAKE THE EXPERIENCES BETTER AND MORE EXCITING FOR BOTH THE STUDENTS AND THE GUESTS OF THE RESORT. SO WE HAVE AN ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT, SO I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THIS, BECAUSE THERE WERE CONCERNS IN OUR LAST HEARING. SO WE HAVE A WILDLIFE EVALUATION, CONDUCTED BY MANG ON 12/11 LAST YEAR, NO SPECIES WERE FOUND NO, TORTOISES WERE FOUND. THE FULL REPORT IS BE AVAILABLE ON FUSION, AND WE HAVE A PRETTY INACTIVE SITE, AS FAR AS ANY EVASIVES, WHICH IS IT GREAT. AND SO I THINK THIS AREA THAT WE'RE PROPOSING DEVELOPMENT ARE POISED AND READY. MANGROVE RESTORATION WAS A PART OF WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE, BY OUR CURRENT OWNERSHIP GROUP. WE'VE PARTNERED WITH MANG ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING, THEY PROVIDE RESULTS TO THE STATE FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT AND REGROWTH -- WE WANT YOU TO SEE OUR CUTE LITTLE PLANS. THEY'RE ALL GROWING BACK UP AT 6 FEET, THEY'RE BACK AT STANDARD HEIGHT. WE WILL HAVE REACHED OUR NEED TO HAVE THEM MONITORED, BUT I'M VERY EXCITED TO SAY, IN RUNS THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE AREA THAT HAD ISSUES. AND A VIDEO. THERE'S NO SOUND. IT'S NOT AS COMPELLING WITHOUT THE SOUND. THERE WE GO. ♪ >> AND JUST BEFORE I TAKE ANY QUESTIONS, I WANTED TO MENTION SOMETHING THAT CAME UP IN THAT VIDEO SHOWING THE KIDS EATING. AND SO THIS IS ABOUT ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE SCHOOL. THREE MEALS, OVER 100 MEALS PER DAY ARE PROVIDED BY THE RESORT. SO WITHIN THAT DYNAMIC, THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE RESORT, AND BEFORE IT OFFICIALLY REOPENED, THE SCHOOL MAINTAINED THE COOKING STAFF AND PAID FOR THE COOKING STAFF TO ACTUALLY -- CONTINUE TO PREPARE THEIR MEALS, SO IT'S AN AMAZING ECONOMIC IMPACT WHEN YOU THINK IN TERMS OF300 MEALS PER DAY. BEING PROVIDED EVERY SINGLE DAY. MONDAY THROUGH SUNDAY FOR THESE KIDS. AND THROUGH OUR BUSINESS PARTNER AT SAND PIPER BAY RESORT. WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO HAVE HAD THAT PARTNERSHIP, THEY'VE BEEN AMAZING, AND IT'S A WONDERFUL PARTNERSHIP TO HAVE. ANY QUESTIONS? >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. >> YOU SAID THE TENNIS COURTS ARE GOING TO BE LIGHTED? >> YES, ONLY IN THE INNER CORRIDOR. AS YOU CAN SEE DOWN THE MIDDLE THERE, ONLY THE CENTER COURTS ARE GOING TO BE LIT. THE ONES ADJACENT TO THE NEIGHBORS ARE NOT. >> THAT'S WHERE I WAS GOING. >> YES, SIR. >> THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANYTHING? >> JUST IN THE EVENT FOR THE EFFICIENCY, TO THE EXTENT YOU WANT TO, YOU CAN SWEAR ANYONE ELSE IN THAT WANTS TO COMMENT ON THE PUD, IF YOU WANT TO CONDENSE IT. >> MAYOR: FOR ANYONE WHO IS GOING TO PROVIDE TESTIMONY. >> YES. SO ANY PUBLIC COMMENT CAN BE TAKEN ON THE RECORD. >> THANK YOU. >> SO THIS IS ITEM 10A, WHICH IS A PUBLIC HEARING, BUT NOT QUASI JUDICIAL. BUT ANYONE WHO'S GOING TO SPEAK. I WAS GOING TO HAVE EVERYONE SWEAR IN AT THE SAME TIME LIKE I NORMALLY DO. YOU WANT ME TO SEPARATE IT JUST FOR THIS ITEM TO BE CLEAR? >> JUST FOR AN EFFICIENCY THING. >> IF THERE'S A GROUP THAT WANTS TO SPEAK ON 10E AND THEY DON'T WANT TO WAIT. >> ANYONE WHO IS GOING TO SPEAK ON ITEM 10-E PLEASE STAND UP AND BE SWORN IN BY THE CLERK. >> D [ SWEARING-IN ] >> MAYOR: THIS ITEM IS A PUBLIC HEARING. WE HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. CLAUDIA MOLINA. EVERYONE WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES. >> GOOD EVENING, I'M A MOTHER, AND HOMEOWNER IN SAND PIPER, IN THE COMMUNITY. I LIVE JUST A FEW HOUSES AWAY FROM THE ACADEMY. I THINK IT'S BEEN VERY CLEAR, CLEARED UP ANY DOUBT THAT IS I HAD. I'M GOING TO TALK AS A HOMEOWNER NOT AS AN ACADEMY MOTHER. PRIMARILY AS A HOMEOWNER, WHO WANTS TO PRESERVE THE PROPERTY VALUE OF MY HOUSE, AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE, AND THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE COMMUNITY. MY FAMILY USED SIX YEARS AGO TO THIS COMMUNITY TO CHECK OUT THE ACADEMY. IT'S A VERY SMALL SCALE COMMUNITY. IT'S FULL OF INTERNATIONAL PEOPLE, WHICH WAS -- CAME BECAUSE OF CLUB MED AND THE ACADEMY. THE FEW OWNERS ARE STUDENTS, INTERNATIONAL OWNERS WHO CAME FOR CLUB MED. MY HOUSE BACKS IMMEDIATELY TO THE GOLF COURSE, AND I WAS LUCKY FOR SIX YEARS TO HAVE A GOLF COURSE BEHIND MY HOUSE. I DIDN'T BUY A HOUSE IN THE GOLF COURSE, I NEVER PAID, HOW DO YOU SAY -- MEMBERSHIPS. >> THANK YOU. SO WHEN CLUB MED CLOSED, I P PANICKED, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THAT PIECE OF LAND BEHIND MY HOUSE. I WAS CONCERNED, I KNOW IT WAS NOT GOING TO BE LEFT UNUSED. I HEAR REBECCA. AND I FEEL THIS IS PARADISE FOR ME. I SAID MY KIDS, ATTEND THE ACODE MY, ONE ALREADY GRADUATED. THE NEXT ONE IS GRADUATING THIS YEAR, AND ADD ONE. I HAVE MY PROPERTY THERE, AND I'M VERY HAPPY TO HAVE THE ACADEMY AS NEIGHBORS, I KNOW THEM, I KNOW THEIR VALUES, I'M HAPPY TO HEAR THAT IT'S GOING TO STAY AS OPEN RECREATION SPACES. THE ONLY CONSTRUCTION ARE ACTUALLY CONSTRUCTIONS THAT WERE THERE, AND THEY'RE JUST GOING TO BE CHANGED. SO I GUESS THIS IS THE BEST OPTIONS FOR OUR NEIGHBORS. AND I THINK I WILL KINDLY RESPECT YOU GUYS TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY, FOR THIS KIND OF DEVELOPMENT BEHIND US. AND I'M AFRAID THAT IT WILL KEEP NOT LETTING THE OWNERS GET A BETTER CASE AND A BETTER ACADEMY, OR BETTER RESORT. THEY'LL END UP SELLING, AND WE'LL BE DISCUSSING THIS IN THE NEAR FUTURE, IN FRONT OF YOU, AI POSSIBLE CHANGE OF LAND FOR HOUSING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, I THINK THIS IS FOR THE BEST. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GLADYS VELEZ. GOOD EVENING. >> GOOD EVENING. I'M GLADYS VELEZ, AND I'M A TEACHER FOR THE LAST 9 YEARS AT RPS ACADEMIES. AS A RESIDENT, I HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP -- OUR SUCCESS -- 98% OF OUR GRADUATES GO OFF TO COLLEGE WITH EARNINGS SUBSTANTIAL SCHOLARSHIP. THE OUTCOME REFLECTS THE STRONG PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN PARENTS, TEACHERS AND STUDENTS, THAT DEFINE -- THE IMPACT OF RPS EXTENDING BEYOND ACADEMY WAS WHEN THE PARENTS BECAME TO INVEST IN THE PROGRAMS AT THE ACADEMY. AND ARE NOW DETERMINED TO MAKE THE BEST SPORTS ACADEMY IN THE WORLD. WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE COMMUNITY. THIS LEVEL OF COMMITMENT DEMONSTRATES THE EFFECT RPS HAS ON THE FAMILIES AND UNDERSCORE THE QUALITY OF WHAT WE HAVE BUILT. RPS PROVIDES THE SAME ENVIRONMENT WHERE STUDENTS TRY BOTH IN THE CLASSROOM AND ON THE FIELD. WE PRIDE OURSELVES IN BEING ONE FAMILY, WHERE EVERY STUDENT RECEIVES PERSONALIZED OCCASION HAS SUPPORT. THE COMMITTEE APPROACH, THAT HAS NOT FOUND -- BUT HAS PROVIDED IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY. BRINGING FAMILIES FROM AROUND THE WORLD TO OUR COMMUNITY, AND STRENGTHENING OUR REGIONS REPUTATION AS A DESTINATION. THE INVESTMENT IN RPS ACADEMY, ENSURES THE FUTURE AND CONTINUED LIVES OF OUR COMMUNITY. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. T.J. IZZO? >> GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU MAYOR MARTIN AND FELLOW COUNCILMEMBERS, MY NAME IS T.J. IZZO. AND I HAVE THE DISTINCT PLEASURE TO REPRESENT AND ADDRESS YOU ON IMPORTANT MATTERS. I WANT TO PROVIDE SOME CONTEXT OF OUR COMMUNITY, WE WERE INCORPORATED IN 1975, WE'RE CONSISTING OF 89 RESIDENCES AND OUR PROPERTY IS UNIQUE IN THAT IT DIRECTLY ABUTTS THE ADJACENT APPLICANT'S SUBJECT PROPERTY. BOTH THE MAIN PORTION ON THE EAST, THE PINE VALLEY TERMINUS, AND A SMALL ENCLAVE OF SIX BUILDINGS ON THE OTHER SIDE. THE MAJORITY OF OUR PROPERTIES ARE LOCATED BETWEEN THE RESORT OWNERS AND THE ACADEMY'S PROPERTY. I WANT TO EMPHASIZE SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE THE DISTINCT PLEASURE TO SAY THE PRINCIPLE OF THE RESORT AND ACADEMY, ACTUALLY OWN SEVERAL UNITS IN OUR ASSOCIATION, THAT ENHANCES THAT WE HAVE A GENUINE VESTED INTEREST IN THE ASSOCIATION. AND THIS SHARED INVESTMENT UNDERSCORES THE COLLABORATIVE SPIRIT THAT I WANT TO BRING HERE TODAY TO DISCUSS. SOME OF THE COMMUNITY'S CONCERNS HAD A SIGNIFICANT AND IMPORTANT IMPACT TO THE ASSOCIATION AND ITS RESIDENTS. I'LL ADDRESS THAT IN A SECOND, BASED ON A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH WITH REBECCA AND HER TEAM, I THINK THAT HAS DISPELLED SOME OF THOSE CONCERNS. ON THE PINE VALLEY SIDE, THAT DIRECTLY ABUTTS OUR PROPERTY RIGHT NOW WE HAVE SOME WONDERING INDIVIDUALS THAT BELONG TO THE RESORT. WORKING WITH REBECCA AND HER TEAM, WHERE THEY MADE COMMITMENTS TO REMOVE THAT FOOT BRIDGE AND PUT UP A LANDSCAPE BUFFER, IT'S DUAL PURPOSE TO DISPEL ANY TRESPASSING AND GIVE AN AESTHETIC LOOK TO THE PROPERTY. OUR MORTGAGE ABUTTS, AND SO THE CURRENT SITUATION IS THE ENTRY WAY AND THE GUARD HOUSE, WHICH AT TIMES HAVE BEEN OBSTRUCTED. WORKING WITH REBECCA AND HER TEAM, WE'VE -- WE'LL PUT UP DO NOT BLOCK SIGNS AND STREET STRIPING TO DETER AND MITIGATE THOSE EFFORTS. WITH THAT BEING SAID, THERE WAS ONE OTHER THING THAT I WANTED TO DO TO BRIDGE THE COURT'S ATTENTION. WAS THE COURT LIGHTING, WE'VE BEEN REST ASSURED THAT THE PROPOSED LIGHTING WOULD HAVE NO IMPACT AS IT WOULD BE SKY COMPLIANT. I DON'T WANT TO TAKE UP MUCH OF YOUR TIME, BUT I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION. AND I WANT TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE APPLICANT AND THE CITY WHILE THIS MOVES FORWARD. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> MAYOR? >> YES. >> I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED HERE, I KNOW WE'RE HEARING TWO, AND THE THREE SPEAKERS THAT HAVE SPOKEN ALREADY, ARE REALLY CONCENTRATING ON 10E. AND I DON'T RECALL ANY OF THEM BEING SWORN IN? I REMEMBER >> MAYOR: PARDON? HE WAS SWORN IN. >> I DON'T KNOW THAT THE OTHERS WERE, AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IT BEING A QUASI, SO. >> MAYOR: RIGHT, THIS ITEM ISN'T THE QUASI. IF YOU HAVE SPOKEN AND HAVE NOT BEEN SWORN N PLEASE STAND UP SO YOU CAN BE SWORN IN AND THAT EVERYTHING YOU SAID HAS BEEN TRUTHFUL. [ SWEARING-IN ] >> MAYOR: SO THAT MEANS THAT THE STUDENTS THAT ARE GOING TO SPEAK NEED TO BE SWORN IN AS WELL. SO IF YOU'RE AN RPS STUDENT AND YOU'RE GOING TO SPEAK, PLEASE STAND UP AND BE SWORN IN BY THE CLERK. [ SWEARING-IN ] >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU TO THE RPS STUDENT ATHLETES FOR BEING HERE TODAY. APPRECIATE IT. IF I MISPRONOUNCE YOUR NAME, I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE. >> GOOD EVENING. I LIVE IN MORNINGSIDE, JUST A FEW HOUSES AWAY FROM RPS ACADEMY, I MOVED HERE SIX YEARS AGO WITH MY FAMILY. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A ONE YEAR ADVENTURE BECAME OUR HOME. WE FIRST RENTED A HOUSE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, VERY QUICKLY WE FELL IN LOVE, NOT ONLY WITH THE ACADEMY, BUT THE COMMUNITY AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE HERE. THAT'S WHY, WE DECIDED TO BUY A HOUSE. I GREW UP IN A FAMILY THAT LOVES SPORTS, DISCIPLINE AND HARD WORK. THAT'S WHY RPS OFFERED US THE BEST OPPORTUNITY. RPS IS NOT A LARGE PROGRAM, IT'S A VERY SMALL SCHOOL WHERE EVERYONE KNOWS EACH OTHER. WE WANT RPS TO STAY THIS WAY, SMALL AND FAMILY. MY BROTHER MADE FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE WHO HE CONSIDERS FAMILY. MY SISTER HAS MADE SUCH GREAT FRIENDSHIPS, SOMETIMES SHE EVEN FORGETS SHE HAS A FAMILY AT HOME. AND I'VE MADE FRIENDS FOR LIFE. SOME ARE STILL HERE, AND SOME HAVE MOVED ON. WE COMPETE TOGETHER, SUPPORT EACH OTHER, AND GROW UP TOGETHER. THIS PAST SATURDAY, I HAD ONE OF MY PROUDEST MOMENTS. WE WATCHED A FRIEND ON TV WIN A GRAND SLAM AUSTRALIAN OPEN. IT FELT LIKE WE WERE ALL OVER THERE WITH HIM IN AUSTRALIA. BEING HERE HAS GREATLY IMPROVED MY LIFE. COMING FROM MEXICO CITY, I WAS SURROUNDED BY A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND SPENDING TIME IN THE STREETS. HERE I CAN BIKE TO THE ACADEMY OR WHEREVER I WANT TO. I SAVE A LOT OF TIME, TIME I GET TO SPEND WITH MY FAMILY. THIS BALANCE HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT FOR ME. RPS HAS PLAYED A VERY IMPORTANT ROLE IN SHAPING WHO I AM TODAY. GAVE MY FAMILY A HOME, AND SOME INCREDIBLE MEMORIES I WILL NEVER FORGET. I HOPE IT CAN KEEP CHANGING KIDS AND FAMILIES FOR A VERY LONG TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GIORGIO SANTAN KNOW. GOOD EVENING. >> MY NAME IS GIORGIO SANTANO. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE RESIDENTS IN THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY FOR BEING WELCOMING TO US OVER THE YEARS. I UNDERSTAND THAT SOME RESIDENTS HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE CHANGE HAPPENING AROUND THE ACADEMY. I'M HERE TO SHARE MY PERSPECTIVE AS A STUDENT AND OUTSIDE RESIDENT, ESPECIALLY THE ADDITIONS OF THE NEW TENNIS COURTS ARE IMPORTANT. RIGHT NOW, THE DAILY SCHEDULE, WE BEGIN TWO HOURS OF TENNIS, AND THEN TWO HOURS OF SCHOOL. ONE GROUP IN CLASS, ONE GROUP ON THE COURT. STARTING NEXT YEAR, OUR SCHEDULE WILL CHANGE TO FOUR HOURS OF SCHOOL, AND FOUR HOURS OF TENNIS IN THE AFTERNOON. THIS IS BETTER FOR OUR EDUCATION, ALSO MEANS THAT BOTH GROUPS WILL BE TRAINING AT THE SAME TIME, INSTEAD OF BEING SPLIT THROUGHOUT THE DAY. TENNIS REQUIRES TWO PLAYERS ON THE COURT. WITH THE CURRENT SCHEDULE, SOME STUDENTS START MATCHES, BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE A TWO HOUR TENNIS BLOCK, BEFORE NEEDING TO RETURN TO CLASS, MANY OF THOSE MATCHES CANNOT BE FINISHED. THE TWO GROUPS ARE COMBINED, WHICH MEANS THAT THERE WILL BE MORE STUDENTS ON THE COURT AT THE SAME TIME. WITHOUT ADDITIONAL COURTS, STUDENTS WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO COMPETE IN MATCHES, THERE WOULD BE NO SPACE. FOR TRAINING, HAVING MORE COURTS AND LONGER PRACTICE BLOCKS, ALLOWS PRACTICE TO RUN MORE EFFICIENTLY, AND GIVE STUDENTS BETTER QUALITY TRAINING DURING THE TIME WE HAVE. THESE RENOVATIONS ARE NOT ABOUT SUCCESS, THEY'RE ABOUT MAKING SURE THE SCHOOL CAN PROPERLY SUPPORT THE STUDENTS. WHILE CONTINUING TO BE PART OF THE PORT ST. LUCIE COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. JONATHAN McFARLAND? >> GOOD EVENING. I'M JONATHAN McFARLAND, I'M A SENIOR, THIS IS MY SECOND YEAR LIVING HERE AS A BOARDING SCHOOL STUDENT. TO BE HONEST, I'M A SENIOR, I'M LEAVING, I'M A LITTLE JEALOUS I WON'T BE HERE TO SEE ALL THESE CHANGES. AS YOU GO THROUGH, I WANT TO SHARE HOW MUCH THIS REALLY MEANS TO US. AT THE MOMENT, OUR MAIN SOCCER FACILITY, IT'S CALLED THE MIXED USE BUILDING. WE'RE LOOKING TOWARD -- THE BUILDING HAS A LOT OF PROBLEMS, AT THE MOMENT IT'S LIMITED AND IT'S FALLEN INTO GENERAL DISREPAIR. I THINK THE BIGGEST ISSUE THAT'S RISEN FROM THAT, WE DON'T HAVE DEDICATED LOCKER ROOMS, WHICH MEANS WE DON'T HAVE A SPACE BEFORE PRACTICE, GAMES, WE HAVE ONLY LIKE BASIC TEMPORARY INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE. BY EXTENSION OF THAT, WE HAVE NO BATHROOM FACILITIES, PRIMARILY FOR US. FOR ME AND MOST OTHERS, IT'S A NONISSUE, I'M A BOY, TO BE HONEST. WE ARE A COED INSTITUTION, I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR THEM. I THINK THEY AT LEAST DESERVE THE PRIVACY AND SAFETY EVERYONE ELSE DOES. NOT TO SPEAK ILL OF ANY OTHER SOCCER CLUBS HERE, IN CASE YOU HAVE KIDS IN THAT PROGRAM. OVER THE PAST DECADES OR SO, RPS IS THE ONLY PROGRAM TO PRODUCE A HIGH LEVEL OF SOCCER PLAYERS. MOST OF THE DIVISION I ATHLETES WENT TO PLAY PROFESSIONALLY IN SPAIN, WITH THE UPCOMING PORT ST. LUCIE FRANCHISE TEAM, WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO SEE THESE LOCAL PLAYERS HERE PLAYING IN FRONT OF YOU. WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO SEE THESE LOCAL PLAYERS STILL PLAYING WHILE PRODUCING. THESE FACILITIES CAN HELP US ENABLE THAT. BUT LIKE I SAID EARLIER, THEY KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF SENTIMENT GOING AROUND TODAY. AFTER ME, I'M OFF TO GET MY BACHELOR'S IN IMAGINE MEATICS, I'M GONE. FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, RPS HAS BECOME MY HOME. BY EXTENSION, PORT ST. LUCIE, I KNOW A LOT OF YOUNGER GUYS THAT WILL BE HERE FOR FOUR OR FIVE YEARS, I KNOW HOW HIGH THEIR POTENTIAL CAN BE. THESE KIND OF IMPROVEMENTS WILL FIX ALL THE ISSUES I'VE EXPERIENCED OUT HERE, THEY ALSO BUILD A FOUNDATION FOR LONG TERM CONTINUED SUCCESS, ALL I WANT IS FOR RPS STUDENTS TO HAVE THE BEST EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU BETTER COME BACK AND VISIT. >> I PLAN TO. >> MAYOR: GOOD, I'M SURE EVERYONE WANTS YOU TO. KRISH TALLA. >> I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AT RPS. I STAY IN THE DORM FAURI AWAY FROM MY -- DORMITORY AWAY FROM MY FAMILY. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE MY FAMILY OR FRIENDS, HOWEVER, WHEN I CAME TO RPS, THE STAFF AND STUDENTS MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS AT HOME. EVERYONE WAS SO INVITING TO ME AND HELPED ME OUT WHENEVER I NEED IT. THE PLAYERS AND COACHES WERE VERY HELPFUL AND KIND TO ME. TENNIS IS USUALLY A SOLO FOR THE, HOWEVER, RPS MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS PART OF SOMETHING ELSE. EVER SINCE I CAME HERE, MY TENNIS HAS IMPROVED SO MUCH. BEFORE I CAME TO RPS, I DID NOT ENJOY TENNIS IN CALIFORNIA, HERE AT RPS, THEY HELPED ME FIND A PASSION FOR TENNIS I THOUGHT I COULD NOT FIND. MY ACADEMICS IS IMPROVING A LOT WITH THE TEACHERS BEING INTERACTIVE. THEY MADE ME FEEL IF I EVER NEED HELP, I SHOULD NOT HESITATE TO ASK. I THOUGHT BEING HERE WOULD BE SAD, BECAUSE I WOULD BE AWAY FROM MY PARENTS. RPS HAS TAUGHT ME, DISCIPLINE, HARD WORK, AND HELPED ME GROW AS A PERSON IN SO MANY WAYS. I'M PROUD TO BE A PART OF RPS AS A STUDENT. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. FRED ABARLIND. >> THE LAST TIME I SPEAK HERE, I CAME FROM THE PERSPECTIVE AS A STUDENT ATHLETE. I WANT TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCES GROWING UP IN PORT ST. LUCIE, I CAME HERE WHEN I WAS 11. I WILL BE GRADUATING ALONGSIDE THE SAME FRIENDS I MADE 6 YEARS AGO. THE PEOPLE SITTING BEHIND ME TODAY ARE MORE THAN PEERS, THEY'RE FRIENDS I GREW UP WITH. OVER THE YEARS, MANY OF US HAVE GROWN CLOSE, NOT JUST AT SCHOOL, BUT IN OUR DAILY LIVES, WALKING THE SAME STREETS, SHARING OUR TEAMS, AND ESPECIALLY FOR BOARDING STUDENTS, CREATING A HOME AWAY FROM HOME. I HAVE LIVED IN COUNTLESS PLACES AROUND THE WORLD. THE LIFE I BUILT THROUGH RPS IS SOMETHING I WILL ALWAYS COME BACK, SOMETHING I WILL ALWAYS CALL HOME. THE SCHOOL DOESN'T JUST EXIST, IT ENSURES THAT THE IMPACT ON THIS COMMUNITY WILL LAST LONGER AFTER WE GRADUATE. I'VE SEEN FIRSTHAND THE EVOLUTION OF RPS. I KNOW THEY'RE NOT FINISHED. THEY HAVE GOALS, A VISION, AND A COMMITMENT TO THEIR STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY THAT IS UNMATCHED. I UNDERSTAND THAT ACCOUNTABILITY IS IMPORTANT. HOLDING ACCOUNTABILITY -- HOLDING OURSELVES AND THE INSTITUTIONS ACCOUNTABLE IS RESPONSIBLE AND NECESSARY FOR TRUST AND GROWTH. OUR ACCOUNTABILITY SHOULD NOT BECOME A BARRIER TO PROGRESS. CHANGE CAN BE UNCOMFORTABLE BECAUSE IT IS UNKNOWN. THROUGH RPS, I LEARNED YOU MUST FACE THE UNCOMFORTABLE TO SUCCEED, BECAUSE GROWTH, OPPORTUNITY RARELY COMES FROM STAYING SAFE AND FAMILIAR. YES, RPS HAS FACED CHALLENGES, QUITE A FEW. BUT IT HAS GROWN STRONGER BECAUSE IT HAS DARED TO STEP FORWARD. I URGE THIS COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT RPS. BY SUPPORTING RPS, WE'RE NOT JUST SUPPORTING A SCHOOL, BUT A LEGACY THAT WILL ENDURE FAR BEYOND ITS WALLS. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: I WANT TO THANK ALL THE STUDENTS WHO CAME AND SPOKE. YOU'RE VERY IMPRESSIVE, AND SOME OF YOU ARE VERY WISE FOR YOUR YOUNG AGE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK? PLEASE COME FORWARD? SEEING NO ONE ELSE, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. >> MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 26-09. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: ANY DISCUSSION? I JUST WANT TO SAY TO MISS MILLER, THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING ALL THE CONCERNS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP IN THE PLANNING & ZONING MEETING. I WATCHED THAT MEETING, ESPECIALLY AS IT RELATES TO STORM WATER AND THE BUFFERING, VERY HAPPY TO SEE THAT. AND THE COLLABORATION WITH THE RESIDENTS, THANK YOU. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. >> MOVING ON TO 10B. ORDINANCE 26-13. >> AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PORT ST. LUCIE, LAND USAGE, ZONING CODE. PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >> GOOD EVENING. IF YOU GIVE ME A MOMENT TO BRING UP THE PRESENTATION. SOPHIA TRAIL WITH THE PLANNING & ZONING DEPARTMENT. A ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT APPLICATION TO THE CITY OF PORT ST. LUCIE LAND CONVERSION RENEWAL. >> THE CONVERSION MANUAL IS A DOCUMENT THAT WAS ORIGINALLY ADOPTED IN THE MID 1980s TO PROVIDE PROPERTY OWNERS AND DEVELOPERS WITH A GUIDE TO REZONING PROPERTIES IN THE CITY'S CONVERSION AREAS, WHICH ARE LOCATED ALONG MAJOR ROADWAYS IN THE CITY. THE CONVERSION PROCESS ALLOWS FOR SINGLE FAMILY PLATTED LOTS, TO BE REZONED TO THE ZONING DISTRICT. POLICY 114-13 OF THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE CONVERSION AREA WAS ADDED TO THE CONVERSION MANUAL IN 2018. THE CONVERSION MANUAL ADDRESSES REQUIREMENTS FOR LAND ASSEMBLY, REZONING REQUIREMENTS, AND RELATED SITE PLAN AND DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS. IT EXPLAINS THE LAND USE CONVERSION PROCESS AND IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES. THIS IS THE CONVERSION AREA MAP. OUR CONVERSION AREAS ARE ALONG THE MAJOR ROADWAYS, SUCH AS BAYSHORE BOULEVARD, PORT ST. LUCIE BOULEVARD AND BECKER ROAD. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT AGAIN IS TO THE CITY OF PORT ST. LUCIE,ING LAND USE CONVERSION MANUAL. AT PRESENT THE MANUAL REQUIRES A RECORDED UNITY FOR TITLE, FOR DEVELOPMENT OF MULTIFAMILY OR NONRESIDENTIAL USES WITHIN THE LAND USE CONVERSION AREAS. UNITY OF TITLE REQUIRES PROPERTIES TO BE OWNED BY THE SAME PERSON OR ENTITY THROUGH UNIFIED OWNERSHIP. THIS APPLICATION PROPOSES TO ALLOW UNIFIED CONTROL AS ADEQUATE LEGAL DOCUMENTATION. UNIFIED CONTROL, IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT, BETWEEN DIFFERENT PROPERTY OWNERS THAT ALLOWS SEPARATE PARCELS TO BE TREATED AS ONE. OWNERS AGREE TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTIES TOGETHER AS A SINGLE UNIFIED PROJECT, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE OWNED AND OFTEN FINANCED SEPARATELY. I DID INCLUDE THIS SLIDE TO PROVIDE A VISUAL REPRESENTATION TO THE COUNCIL, THE IMAGE IS AN AERIAL OF CONVERSION AREA 2 ALONG SOUTHWEST GATLIN BOULEVARD. THESE LOTS ARE ZONED SINGLE FAMILY, BUT THEY HAVE A FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF ROI. THE TABLE BELOW IS ONE YOU'LL FIND IN THE CONVERSION MANUAL. IN ORDER TO REZONE THESE LOTS. SO FOR THE PURPOSE OF JUST PROVIDING AN EXAMPLE, IF THERE WAS A PROPERTY OWNER THAT OWNED LOTS 1 THROUGH 3, ALTHOUGH THEY MEET THE MINIMUM FRONTAGE AND MINIMUM DEPTH REQUIREENTS, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REZONE THESE PROPERTIES, BECAUSE LOT 4 WOULD THEN BECOME ISOLATED. UNDER UNITY OF TITLE, IN ORDER TO REZONE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO REQUIRE LOT 4. THAT WAS PART OF THEIR PACKAGE. UNIFIED CONTROL, ALLOWS THE PROPERTY OWNER A OF LOTS 1 THROUGH 3 AND PROPERTY OWNER B OF LOT 4 TO COME TOGETHER FOR A BUSINESS AND A LEGAL AGREEMENT, TO AGREE TO REZONE ALL FOUR PROPERTIES, AND BUILD THEM AS ONE SITE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, SO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO RELINQUISH THEIR PROPERTY OWNERSHIP. WE'RE ALSO UPDATING THE COVER PAGE, VARIOUS SECTIONS OF THE MANUAL AT MAX. WE'RE UPDATING TABLE ONE, WHICH IS APPLICABLE ZONING DISTRICT BY REMOVING THE INSTITUTIONAL ZONING DISTRICT AND THE LIST OF COMPATIBLE ZONING DISTRICT, TO PROVIDE CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT FROM 2021. ORDINANCE 2136, WHICH WAS PASSED IN JULY 2021, AMENDING POLICY 114-13 AT THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT. THE AMENDMENT REMOVED THE INSTITUTIONAL ZONING DISTRICT AS A COMPATIBLE ZONING DISTRICT FOR THE MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, AND FUTURE LAND USE CLASSIFICATIONS. THE PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH 411 OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH IS TO PROVIDE AN APPROPRIATE MIX OF LAND USE AND ALSO ALIGNS WITH GOALS 2 AND 4 OF THE CITY'S STRATEGIC PLAN, WHICH IS TO PROVIDE STRATEGIC GROWTH FOR A RESILIENT FUTURE BE AND DIVERSE ECONOMY AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. THE PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF DO FIND THE PETITION TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENT AND DIRECTION OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, RECOMMENDS APPROVAL. THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE TEXT AMENDMENT AT THEIR JANUARY 6, 2026 MEETING. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTTION. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY. >> MAYOR: ANY QUESTIONS? THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO SPEAK? SEEING NO ONE. I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HERRING, COUNCIL? >> MOTION TO APPROVE 26-13. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: ANY FINAL DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> MAYOR: ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. AS WE'RE MOVING ON IN THE AGENDA, WE HAVE SEVERAL ITEMS THAT ARE QUASI JUDICIAL IN NATURE, IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEAK ON ITEM 10C, 10D, 10E AND 11A AND 11B, PLEASE STAND AND BE SWORN IN IF YOU'RE GOING TO PROVIDE TESTIMONY. [ SWEARING-IN ] >> MAYOR: 10C IS ORDINANCE 26-14. >> AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PORT ST. LUCIE FLORIDA FOR THE FIRST AMENDMENT OF THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENT FOR THE VERANO SOUTH P.O.D. H PUD. PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >> MAYOR: COUNCIL, ARE THERE ANY EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS TO BE DISCLOSED? >> GOOD EVENING MR. ROBINSON. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL. DANNY ROBINSON, PLANNING AND ZONING, ONE SECOND. I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN AND THE OFFICIAL CITY FILE HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE CITY CLERK, MORE THAN FIVE DAYS PRIOR TO THIS HEARING. MADAM CLERK, PLEASE ENTER THE FILE INTO THE RECORD. THE PROJECT BEFORE YOU IS THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE VERANO POD H PUD, THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED SOUTH OF C24 CANAL, WEST OF I-95, AND NORTH OF CROSS TOWN PARKWAY. PUD WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED IN 2024 FOR ORDINANCE 24-01. AND A FUTURE LAND USE IS RGC. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT CONSISTS OF TWO CHANGES WHICH ARE TO ADD A FREE STANDING EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. THE EVENT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DIRECTION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE UPDATES WILL ALLOW FLEXIBILITY WITH STREET TREES, UTILITIES AND DRIVE WAY CONFLICTS. HERE IS THE CONCEPT PLAN PUD. AND POLICY 1.1.410 RESIDENTIAL GOLF COURSE ALLOWS FOR THE FREESTANDING EMERGENCY ROOM. AS AN INSTITUTIONAL USE. THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED PUD DOCUMENT AT THEIR AUGUST 5th 2025 PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? >> THE WORDS FREESTANDING EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT COME TO MIND, AND I KNOW THAT WE JUST HAD SOMETHING LIKE THIS UP. AND WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS ONE AND THE OTHER ONE THAT WE ALL DENIED? >> NOT WE ALL DENIED, BUT THAT WAS DENIED. >> THAT WAS ON BECKER ROAD. >> THE LAND USE IN THE PUD ALLOWING IT. >> IT'S ALREADY ALLOWED? >> AS PER THE LAND USE. >> MR. ROBINSON IS CORRECT. THE PUD DIDN'T LIST IT AS -- WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THIS USE, THAT'S ONE OF THE CHANGES THEY'RE MAKING. IS TO ADD IT AS A USE WITHIN THE PUD. >> IT'S BASICALLY CLEANUP, IS WHAT YOU'RE SIGHING? >> IT WASN'T INCLUDED, AND NOW THERE'S A DESIRE TO HAVE IT, SEEMS TO BE AN APPROPRIATE LOCATION, SO THEY JUST NEED TO AMEND THEIR DOCUMENTATION. THEY HAVE A PLAN, A SITE PLAN WAITING IN THE WINGS TO COME THROUGH, AND THERE'S A HIGH DEMAND FOR THE USE IN THIS AREA. >> CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS A LITTLE MORE? THE REASON I ASK, WHEN THESE DEVELOPMENTS START BUILDING, IT'S ALL FINE AND DANDY, PUT THE TREES IN THE STREET, 10 YEARS, 20 YEARS FROM NOW, ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE GETS DESTROYED, SO WHAT ARE THEIR PLANS ON THE TREES? AND I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO COME BACK IN THE SITE PLAN, BUT WHAT IS THEIR THOUGHT PROCESS. WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS IN THE CASCADES, LAKE CHARLES RIGHT NOW, THE SAME THING, STREET TREES. >> THE REQUIREMENT WOULD BE THE PROPER SET BACK IN HAVING THE PROPER ROOF BARRIERS INSTALLED AT INSTALLATION, AND MAKING SURE THEY'RE INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED, SO IT DOESN'T CREATE DESTRUCTION, IT GETS UNDERNEATH EVERYTHING. >> THAT STILL DOESN'T GIVE ME GREAT HOPE IT'S GOING TO GET DONE. SUPPOSEDLY THE SAME THING HAPPENED IN CASCADES AND LAKE CHARLES. 20 YEARS LATER, WE'RE DEALING WITH HAVING TO RIP TREES OUT, BECAUSE IT'S DESTROYING WATERLINES, SEWER LINES, SIDEWALKS, HOA'S ARE SPENDING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS REDOING SIDEWALKS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. >> NOT BEING A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT -- >> I UNDERSTAND THAT, I'M JUST MAKING MY CONCERNS AND WHEN IT COMES BACK TO -- WHEN THE SITE PLAN COMES FORWARD, THAT'S SOMETHING I'LL BE PAYING ATTENTION TO, SOMETHING I HAVE TO DEAL WITH WITH TWO OF MY HOA'S, AND IT'S COSTS THOSE RESIDENTS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS BECAUSE OF STREET TREES. >> WE CHANGED OUR ORDINANCES A WHILE BACK, DIDN'T WE, TO ADDRESS STREET TREES BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES WE HAD IN THE PAST. >> WE REVISED -- THAT'S A GREAT POINT, WE DID REVISE OUR ORDINANCES TO PROVIDE FLEXIBILITY, SO WE HAVE STREET TREES A AND B, WHICH ARE SMALLER, WHICH MAY BE MORE APPROPRIATE IN OTHER LOCATIONS. COUNCILMAN PICKETT, YOU RAISE A GREAT POINT, AND REALLY THE APPLICANT CAME IN AND COLLABORATED THE STAFF ON THE CHANGES TO THIS PUD, AND THE CHANGES REALLY ARE TO PROVIDE MORE FLEXIBILITY. SO WHAT THIS CUSTOMER IS FINDING IS THAT AS THEY BUILD OUT THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS, IT'S GREAT ON PAPER, BUT IN REAL LIFE, YOU HAVE UTILITY CONFLICTS, THERE MAY BE A CURVE, YOU ARE HAVING A PROBLEM PLANTING THE TREE SPECIES YOU SPECCED OUT. WITHIN THEIR PUD'S WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM TO MODIFY THE LANGUAGE TO SAY, AS YOU LAY OUT YOUR SITE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE IT APPROVED, BUT WHEN YOU REALLY GET DOWN TO BUILDING, IF YOU FIND THAT YOU HAVE CONFLICTS COME TO US, AND WE'LL WORK WITH YOU ADJUST THINGS. IF WE NEED TO SHIFT THE TREES, YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE SPECIES. THIS IS REALLY A GREAT REVISION AND BECAUSE IT PUTS THE ABILITY RIGHT IN THE PUD FOR THE FLEXIBILITY. AS WE DO PUD'S LOOKING FORWARD, WE'LL BE LOOKING TOWARD THIS TYPE OF LANGUAGE, SO WE CAN HEAD THINGS OFF, INSTEAD OF WAITING 20 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD. >> THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> THE APPLICANT IS HERE. >> MAYOR: OKAY. >> GOOD EVENING. >> GOOD EVENING. PETE HOFFLINES. I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT. ANY PRESENTATION I PROVIDE YOU TONIGHT WOULD BE DUPLICATIVE OF STAFF'S, HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, I THINK MARY ANSWERED -- THAT'S OUR INTENT WITH THE STREET TREES AS WE HAVE RIGHT-OF-WAY WIDTHS AND ENGINEER STANDARDS. HAVING THAT FLEXIBILITY TO SHIFT TREES, SWAP SPECIES, THE RIGHT TREE, THE RIGHT PLACE. WE DON'T HAVE THOSE INFRASTRUCTURE PROBLEMS MOVING FORWARD, 10, 15, 20 YEARS DOWN THE LINE. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE COMING FORWARD WITH AN AMENDMENT LIKE THIS. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS COUNCIL MAY HAVE. >> I APPRECIATE THAT. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO THE RESIDENTS, THE ONE HOA, 2 # $00,000. HAVING THAT FLEXIBILITY, JUST BECAUSE IT SAYS PUT AN OAK TREE THERE, DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO PUT AN OAK TREE THERE IF YOU KNOW THERE'S A WATERLINE OR A SEWER LINE. I APPRECIATE THAT, THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: ANYONE ELSE? OKAY, THANK YOU. THIS ITEM IS A PUBLIC HEARING, WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL? SEEING NO ONE, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. COUNCIL? >> I MOVE 26-14. >> SECOND. >> I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY FINAL DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> MAYOR: OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES.

LUCIE FLORIDA, PROVIDING FOR THE SECOND AMENDMENT OF THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENT AND CONCEPTUAL PLAN, THE SAND PIPER BAY RESORT, LAND UNIT DEVELOPMENT, FOR A PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3500 SOUTHEAST MORNINGSIDE BOULEVARD, GENERALLY LOCATED NORTH OF THE NORTH FORK OF THE SOUTH ST. LUCIE RIVER, SOUTH OF SOUTHEAST WESTMORELAND BOULEVARD, BETWEEN THE WESTERN TERMINUS OF SOUTHEAST PINE VALLEY STREET. AND THE WESTERN TERMINUS OF THE PORT ST. LUCIE BOULEVARD. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU, COUNCIL, EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS? >> YES, I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE APPLICANT, REBECCA. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. >> I'VE SPOKEN WITH THE APPLICANT AS WELL. >> I'VE SPOKEN WITH THE APPLICANT AND HAD TWO SITE VISITS. >> I HAD A SITE VISIT. >> I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE APPLICANT, I'VE ALSO SPOKEN WITH VARIOUS RESIDENTS AT THE MOST RECENT SAND PIPER BAY ASSOCIATION MEETING. I'VE SPOKEN TO THE RPS EMPLOYEES, AND I'VE ALSO HAD A SITE VISIT. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. >> I WENT OUT THERE AS WELL. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. >> MADAM MAYOR, COUNCIL, BETHANY GRUBBS FOR THE RECORD, I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN. THE OFFICIAL FILE HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO THE CLERK AT LEAST FIVE DAYS PRIOR TO THE MEETING. THE APPLICATION BEFORE YOU IS THE COMPANION APPLICATION TO THE PREVIOUS COMP PLAN AMENDMENT. THIS IS SAND PIPER BAY'S RESORTS, AMENDMENT NO. 2. THE INTENT OF THIS AMENDMENT IS TO AMEND THE PUD CONCEPT PLAN AND UPDATE THE PERMITTED USES, UPDATE PROPERTY OWNERSHIP, AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS CHANGES. THE AGENTS FOR THE PROJECT ARE KEITH AND LPL CONSULTING. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 3500 SOUTHEAST MORNINGSIDE BOULEVARD, GENERALLY LOCATED NORTH OF THE NORTH FORK OF THE ST. LUCIE RIVER, SOUTH OF WESTMORELAND BOULEVARD, BETWEEN THE WESTERN TERMENOUS OF SOUTHEAST PINE VALLEY STREET. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY OUTLINED IN YELLOW IS THE ENTIRE SAND PIPER BAY RESORT PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS REQUEST. HERE'S A SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON. THERE ARE NO CHANGES PROPOSED TO THE GOLF COURSE, WHICH IS THE NORTHERN PARCEL AS THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY COMPRISED OF TWO INDEPENDENT PARCEL I.D. NUMBERS. A ZOOMED IN VERSION OF THE CONCEPT PLAN MIRRORS WHAT WE SAW FROM THE APPLICANT PREVIOUSLY. OUTLINES THE ZONES, THE TENNIS AND SPORTSZONE MARK REENA ZONE, GUEST SWEETS, THE DINING FOR THE RESORT, AND PARKING AREAS TO NAME A FEW. THE PROPOSED PUD AMENDMENT REPRESENTS AGAIN THE SECOND MODIFICATION TO THE PUD WHICH WAS FORMALLY KNOWN AS CLUB MED SAND PIPER, THE FOLLOWING ARE THE KEY CHANGES, REVISING THE CONCEPT PLAN TO REFLECT EXPANDED SPORTS COURSE AND FIELDS. THIS INCLUDES COURT AND FIELD LIGHTING, COURT COVERING AND PARKING IMPROVEMENTS. UPDATING OWNERSHIP INFORMATION AND THE REGULATORY DOCUMENTS. AMENDING PERMITTED USES CONSISTENT WITH THE REMOVAL OF THE COMMERCIAL LIMITED FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION. MARINA WAS IN THE COMMERCIAL LIMITED, NOW, MARINA IS GOING TO BE A PERMITTED USE, IN THE CGI LAND USE, ADDING ADDITIONAL BUFFERING AND DESIGN REQUIREMENTS TO ENSURE COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING USES. THIS INCLUDES A WESTERN BUFFER THAT'S BEING ESTABLISHED AND EASTERN AND WETLAND BUFFERS THAT ARE PROGRAMMED. AND DARK SKY COMPLIANT LIGHTING FOR NEW FIELDS, TO ELABORATE A LITTLE FURTHER, THE WESTERN BUFFER WILL BE ESTABLISHED WITH THE FIVE-FOOT BERM. THE EAST ARE WETLAND BUFFERS ARE PROGRAMS UPON ANY CONSTRUCTION OF A SPECIAL EVENT OR OVERFLOW PARKING AREA. AND THE LIGHTING FOR THE SPORTS COURSE AND FIELDS AS PROPOSED WILL BE DARK SKY COMPLIANT WITH THE CONDITION THAT THE LIGHTING BE TURNED OFF WITHIN AN HOUR AFTER MATCH PLAY. MISCELLANEOUS CLEANUP PROVISIONS FOR CLARITY AND CONSISTENCY. ONE THING, WHEN TRYING TO REVIEW THE PUD, WE FOUND CHALLENGING, WAS THERE WAS A LOT OF TALK OF AMENITIES AND ACCESSORIES, WHAT WE DID WAS SPELL OUT THAT THE HOTEL HAS THE AMENITY USES, AND THE RESORT HAS THE ACCESSORY USES. AND WE ADDED SITE AMENITIES AND REPLACED CLASSROOMS IN THE STUDENT UNION BUILDING. WE REPLACED THE CLASSROOMS WITH THE STUDENT UNION BUILDING, AND THERE'S THE RECONFIGURATION OF THE GUARD GATE AND STANDARDS FOR SET BACKS THAT APPLY -- THAT ARE BEING REVISED. ADDING A TIME LINE FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE OVERFLOW PARKING ON SITE, PARKING ISN'T IMPACTED ON THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOODS, ONE PROTECTION MEASURE THAT WAS WRITTEN INTO THAT IN THE PUD IS THAT IF THERE IS ANNER EYE IDENTIFIED, WHICH WOULD ARE -- IS AN ISSUE IDENTIFIED, WHICH WOULD BE BY WAY OF COMPLAINT OR THE APPLICANT NOTICES IT'S WITHIN THEIR BENEFIT, WITHIN THREE MONTHS, WE SHOULD HAVE THE PLANS WITH THE CONSTRUCTION. SO THERE'S A ONE YEAR WINDOW THERE. AND ADDING A REQUIREMENT FOR REVISED OPERATIONS AND PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN IF THE USES ON SITE INCREASE. AS I SAID PREVIOUSLY THE SITE IS CURRENTLY ENTITLED FOR 335 RESORT ROOMS, WHICH ARE EXISTING, 150 STUDENT POPULATION AND 100 SLIP MARINE MA, ALL EXISTING USES. IF THERE'S ANY EXPANSION OF THOSE USES, THEN REVISED TRAFFIC PLAN AND OPERATIONS AND PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN WILL BE REQUIRED. THE PURPOSE OF THIS AMENDMENT IS TO ALIGN THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS WITH UPDATED LAND USE GOALS TO SUPPORT THE SCHOOL'S EXPANSION AND THEIR ENHANCED SPORTS OFFERINGS. THE PROPOSAL CONFORMS WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICY 1.1.4.13. AND THAT'S THAT THE PUD ZONING IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE COMMERCIAL GENERAL USES. AND STAFF FINDS THAT THE AMENDMENT IS CONSISTENT AND UPDATES THE PUD DOCUMENTATION TO MATCH THE ACTUAL BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND ENSURE REGULATORY COMPLIANCE FOR FUTURE REVIEWS AND PERMITTING. THE KEY PROTECTIONS IN THE PUD THAT ARE NOT CONDITIONS, BUT WRITTEN AS NARRATIVE THROUGHOUT ARE BUFFER AND BERM REQUIREMENTS. THERE'S A 50 FOOT WEST BUFFER PROPERTY REQUIREMENT, AND THAT IS ALONG THE OSR AREA, THAT'S THE CURRENT VOLLEYBALL COURT JUST NORTH OF MANGROVE AREA. AND THAT IS THAT THERE'S A 50 FOOT BUILDING SET BACK, 30 FEET THAT'S MOST ADJACENT TO THE RESIDENCES IS 30 FOOT OF CONTINUOUS OPAQUE BUFFERING, AND THEN WITH NO STRUCTURES, WHICH IS BEYOND THE 10 FOOT, THAT IS THE MINIMUM BY STANDARD CODE, AND THEN THE REMAINING 25th MAY BE PAVING, BUT NO STRUCTURE, THERE'S A 50 FOOT BUILDING SET BACK BUILT IN THERE. IN EXCESS OF THE STANDARD 10 FOOT COMMERCIAL GENERAL LAND USE SET BACK. AND THEN WE HAVE NOISE MITIGATION, BUFFER PROTECTIONS BUILT N THAT'S THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE 5 FOOT BERM WITH THE THREE FOOT LANDSCAPING ON TOP, FOR A TOTAL OF 8 FOOT OF PROTECTION, FOR REDUCING NOISE AND SOUND TRANSMISSION. AND, OF COURSE, THE CITY'S NOISE ORDINANCE IS STILL APPLICABLE IF THERE'S ANY NOISE CONCERNS. THE WETLAND BUFFER, THERE'S A MINIMUM 50 FOOT SET BACK WITH PROTECTIVE MEASURES, WHENEVE THERE'S SITE FOR THE OVERFLOW PARKING AREA, THE PLANS ARE SUBMITTED, THAT WETLAND MUST BE DELINEATED AND COMPLIED WITH THE 50 FOOT BUFFER SETBACK THAT IS STANDARD IN CODE. PARKING OVERFLOW CONTROLS -- PARKING IS PROHIBITED ON THE ADJACENT STREETS, PINE VALLEY AND MORNINGSIDE. AND THERE ARE DESIGNATED ONSITE OVERFLOW AREAS ON EACH SIDE OF THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR THE CONCEPT PLAN, AND THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS FOR THESE OVERFLOW PARKING AREAS SHALL BE SUBMITTED WITHIN THREE MONTHS AS PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED. AND NINE MONTHS TO BE COMPLETED WITHIN 9 MONTHS AFTER CITY NOTICE. THE UPDATED TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN SHALL BE SUBMITTED AFTER THE COMPLETION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT AND ADDITIONAL SOLUTIONS MAY BE REQUIRED IF PARKING STILL R REMAINS LIMITED AND OF CONCERN. LIGHTING STANDARDS, THE LIGHTING FOR THE SPORTS FIELDS SHALL BE SHIELDED AND DARK SKY FRIENDLY, FIXTURES TO MINIMIZE SPILLOVER. A PHOTO METRIC PLAN IS REQUIRED WITH READINGS NEAR ZERO AT THE PROPERTY LINE. AND SPORTS COURTS AND FIELD LIGHTING, THE LIGHTS SHALL BE TURNED OFF WITHIN AN HOUR AFTER GAME PLAY CONCLUDES. THE APPLICANT SUBMITTED AN ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW FOR STAFF AND THE LISTED SPECIES SUBMITTAL. THERE WERE THE FOLLOWING OBSERVED ON SITE. OSPREY, LOGGERHEAD, GREAT BLUE HERRON AND THE ALLIGATOR. A 100% GOPHER TORTOISE WAS COMPLETED, THERE WERE NO BOROUGHS ON SITE. NO UPLAND HABITAT IS PRESENT. AND THE WETLANDS ARE UNDER STATE AND FEDERAL JURISDICTION. THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTL TITLED FOR 335 RESORT ROOMS, 150 STUDENTS, 100 SLIP MARINA AND ACADEMY ACCESSORY USES. WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED TO CHANGE AND ADDED UNDER THIS REQUEST ARE EXPANDED ACADEMY ACCESSORIES, ONLY. A TRAFFIC IMPACT STATEMENT AND FUTURE LAND USE AMENDMENT TRAFFIC ANALYSIS REPORT WAS PREPARED FOR THE EXISTING CONDITIONS TO SET A BASELINE STANDARD. AND WAS REVIEWED BY KETTLESON & ASSOCIATES, THE CITY'S THIRD PARTY REVIEWER. THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS DOES NOT REFLECT NET NEW TRIPS BY THE SCHOOL AS A RESULT, NO ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS IS REQUIRED, THE CONCLUSIONS ADDRESS THE EXISTING DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS FOR THE RESORT AND SCHOOL. THE TRAFFIC OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT PLAN HAS BEEN INCLUDED AS AN EXHIBIT WITHIN THIS PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENT. THE RESORT ACCESS IS OUTLINED IN GREEN. THE ACADEMY ACCESS IS OUTLINED IN BLUE, AND THE MARINA ACCESS IS OUTLINED IN RED. SO YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT PRIMARILY THE RESORT WILL USE THE PINE VALLEY ENTRANCE AND THE MARINA AND THE SCHOOL WILL USE THE WESTERN ENTRANCE OFF OF MORNINGSIDE TO KEEP THE USES AND THE TRAFFIC SEPARATED. THIS AMENDMENT ENSURES LAND USE COMPATIBILITY BY ALIGNING PUD STANDARDS AND ADOPTED POLICIES, SUPPORTING BOTH INSTITUTIONAL AND RESORT FUNCTIONS. STAFF FINDS THAT THIS PUD AMENDMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, POLICY 1.1.4.2 WHICH SUPPORTS RESORT USES UNDER THE CG LAND USE. THE PUD AMENDMENT ADVANCES STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL THREE, BUILDING IN ENGAGED CITY, AND FOSTERING A DIVERSE ECONOMY. THE AMENDMENT IS INTENDED TO SUPPORT THE RESORT AND ACADEMY'S BUSINESS. STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS THAT STAFF FINDS THE PETITION TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENT OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND RECOMMENDS APPROVAL WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITION. AND THAT IS, THAT THE APPLICANT WILL ENTER INTO IRRECABLE ENCROACHMENT, PRIOR TO SITE PLAN APPROVAL. TO TOUCH ON THAT LET ME BACK UP TO THE AERIAL BRIEFLY. AND THIS IS -- THERE'S A SMALL SECTION THAT IS ALONG PINE VALLEY, ALONG AROUND THIS GENERAL AREA THAT HAS A FEW PARKING SPACES, A FENCE POST AND SOME LANDSCAPING IN THE CITY'S RIGHT-OF-WAY, WHICH IS NOT ALLOWED. SO WHAT THE AGREEMENT WILL SAY IS, THEY'LL OUTLINE THE PROTECTIONS THAT IF EVER IT NEEDS REMOVED, IT'S THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICANT. IF THE CITY COMES IN TO DO ANY ROADWAY, OUR RIGHT-OF-WAY IMPROVEMENTS. AND THAT'S THE INTENT OF THAT CONDITION. THEREFORE, AT THE JANUARY 20, 2026 ZONING BOARD MEETING, THEY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED PUD AMENDMENT, THE APPLICANT WILL ENTER INTO THE REVOCABLE ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, AND THE APPLICANT -- ARE YOU ENTERING YOUR PRESENTATION OR -- >> AND THE APPLICANT IS SUBMITTING HER PRESENTATION INTO THE RECORD AS WELL. >> MAYOR: ANY QUESTIONS FOR MISS GRUBBS? >> MADAM MAYOR, JUST FOR EXTRA CLARITY. THE PUBLIC COMMENT THAT WAS HAD DURING 10A IS NOW BEING INCORPORATED INTO THIS RECORD? >> MAYOR: THAT'S CORRECT. APPLICANT PRESENTATION FOR 10A IS BEING INCORPORATED INTO THIS ITEM. >> AND THE PUBLIC COMMENT? >> MAYOR: YES. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL? SEEING NO ONE, I'LL CLOSE THE HEARING. >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: ANY PHONAL DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> MAYOR: ANY OPPOSED? >> MAY I JUST SAY A FEW COMMENTS? >> MAYOR: YES. >> PLEASE EXTEND TO THE STUDENTS, THEY GOT UP AND LEFT, I WAS HOPING THEY WOULD STAY FOR THIS ONE. WOW! SO IMPRESSIVE, AND I'M SURE THE NEXT MESSI OR ROGER FEDERER OR, ONE OF THOSE, THEY'RE GOING TO BE THERE, AND I'M THINKING, MAYBE WE SHOULD CHANGE OUR NAME TO SPORT ST. LUCIE. JUST KIDDING. >> I WILL PASS THAT ALONG. >> THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: IT'S A GREAT NICKNAME FOR SURE. >> YEAH, SPORT ST. LUCIE. >> MAYOR: ALL RIGHT, WE ARE MOVING ON TO RESOLUTIONS, 11A, RESOLUTION 25-R29. >> A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT ST. LU LCIE, FLORIDA, PURSUANT TO SECTION 1R5 8.124C11 TO ALLOW A CONVENIENCE STORE WITH FUEL SALES IN THE CG ZONING DISTRICT. FOR A PROJECT KNOWN AS MURPHY USA. PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY AND EFFECTIVE DATE. >> MAYOR: ANY EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS TO DISCLOSE? >> NO, MA'AM. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING MADAM MAYOR, COUNCIL, STAFF. FRANCIS FOREMAN WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN. THE FILE HAS BEEN GIVEN FIVE DAYS PRIOR TO THIS MEETING. THE ITEM BEFORE YOU IS THE MURPHY USA SOUTHWEST GATLIN BOULEVARD SPECIAL EXCEPTION USE. THE APPLICANT OF THE PROJECT IS KARA PHILLIPS OF MURPHY USA. WITH THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY BEING SL GATLIN BOULEVARD LP. THE SITE OR THE LOCATION OF THE PROJECT SITE IS LOCATED ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF SOUTHWEST GATLIN BOULEVARD AND POOR DRIVE. THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION TO ALLOW A FUEL STATION AND GENERAL STORE IN THE GENERAL COMMERCIAL ZONE. THIS IS AN AERIAL OF THE OVERALL AREA, WITH THE SUBJECT SITE BEING OUTLINED HERE IN YELLOW. AS YOU CAN SEE >> THE SURROUNDING AREA HAVE A MIXTURE OF FUTURE LAND USE CLASSIFICATIONS ANYWHERE FROM UTILITY TO SERVICE COMMERCIAL WITH HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL AS WELL AS GENERAL COMMERCIAL ALONG GATLIN BOULEVARD. THERE ARE COMPATIBLE ZONING DISTRICTS THAT EXIST FROM OPEN SPACE CONSERVATION TO THE NORTH OF THE PROPERTY WITH PROFESSIONAL TO THE EAST AND SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL FURTHER NORTH OF THAT OPEN SPACE CONSERVATION AREA. INNS THE PLOPED CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN FOR THE SITE. ABSENCING SIS FOR THE SITE WILL BE OFF OF SW GATLIN BOULEVARD. THIS IS THE CONCEPTUAL LANDSCAPE PLAN WHICH IS BEING CURRENTLY BEING SHOWN TO CODE. AND THE CONCEPTUAL FOR THE CONVENIENCE STORE AND THE FUELING STATIONS. THE SUBJECT SITE IS 1.73 ACRES AND CURRENTLY IS ZONED COMMERCIAL GENERAL. THIS WAS PREVIOUSLY IN FRONT OF YOU MAY 27, 2025 WHICH STAFF REQUESTED THIS ITEM TO BE TABLED TO PROVIDE FURTHER OFF SITE IM PROOTHS THAT WERE NEEDED BECAUSE OF THIS PROPOSAL COMING FORWARD. SINCE THEN STAFF HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT. WE HAVE COME TO AN AGREEMENT ON TO IMPORT DRIVE WILL BE EXTEND AS WELL AS THE RIGHT TURN LANE WILL ALSO BE EXTENDED. THE PROPOSED USE >> AS EVERY SEU THAT DOES COME THROUGH THE CITY CERTAIN CRITERIA 260 OF THE CITY CODE. THESE CRITERIA INCLUDE INGRESS, EGRESS. THE PROPOSAL CURRENTLY DOES MEET THOSE STANDARDS AND DOES EXCEED THOSE IN SOME AREAS. MUST BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC WORKS FINAL INSPECTION. THIS CONDITION IS JUST TO MAKE SURE ALL OF THOSE AGREED OFF SITE AGREEMENTS ARE IN PLACE PRIOR TO THE SITE BEING OPENED. THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. STAFF IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> CAN YOU REVIEW THE TURN LANE DISTANCE. WHAT I'M PICTURING TURN LEFT. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO TURN LEFT. THERE'S A LEFT TURN LANE. THAT'S GOING TO BE EXTENDED >> NOBODY USES THAT THEY MAKE A U-TURN. >> COLT IS HERE FROM PUBLIC WORKS. HE CAN ANSWER WHY THEY'RE EX-STENNING. >> ALSO I HAVE A QUESTION IS THERE ANY GOING TO BE ANY KIND OF TURN LANE COMING FROM THE EAST TO THE WEST TO TURN INTO THE GAS STATION BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO BE A MAUGE PROBLEM. WE ALREADY HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM AT WAFFLE HOUSE AND THE SEVEN BREWS COFFEE. >> SO IF WE CAN GO BACK TO THE CONC CONCEPTUAL. ALL RIGHT. SO THE LEFT TURN LANE THE EXISTING ONE ON GATLIN TURNING ON TO IMPORT DRIVE. WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT THEY'VE AGREED TO EXTEND FOR IMPACTS, AND THE LEFT TURN LANE HANG HERE. TO GET INTO THE SITE. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SITE HERE THERE IS A SIGNIFICANTLY DECENT LONG RIGHT TURN LANE ON GATLIN TO HELP WITH THOSE MOVEMENTS AS WELL TOO. COMING FROM HEADING WEST. IF YOU LOOK AT IMPORT DRIVE BUT YOU CAN SEE THE RIGHT TURN LANE THAT IS GOING TO BE EXTENDED 385 FEET ALMOST TO THE CANAL THAT'S RIGHT THERE. PART OF THAT THEY ARE INSTALLING A DIVIDED MEDIAN. THAT WAY IT WILL PREVENT ANY ILLEGAL TURNS COMING IN AND COMING OUT OF THEIR SITE. >> THAT STILL DOESN'T GIVE ME A WARM AND FUZZY ON GATLIN. THAT'S ONE OF THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARES THERE IS A RIGHT TURN LANE GOING INTO THE GAS STATION. >> SO THAT WHERE THE HIGHLIGHTER MARKER IS GOING TO BE RIGHT TURN LANE ADDED INTO THEIR SITE. >> OKAY. THANK YOU. >> Mary: COUNCIL MEMBER MORGAN DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? OKAY. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON THIS ITEM.

I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM COUNCIL MEMBER BONNA IF THIS ISN'T GOING TO PASS OR IF THERE'S TOGETHER GOB OPPOSITION I'D LIKE TO HEAR OTHER CONCERNS. >> I'M THINKING THROUGH SOME OF THE TRAFFIC CONCERNS. I ALSO WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF PRESENTATIONS OVER SEVERAL DIFFERENT ITEMS THAT MENTION THAT IT'S IN ALIGNMENT ON GOAL 4 ON SUPPORTING JOBS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. I'D LIKE TO KNOW HOW THAT RELEVANT. BASICALLY ANYTHING THAT HIRES PEOPLE. IF WE'RE GOING TO USE THAT AS A JUSTIFICATION FOR THINGS I THINK IT WE NEED TO HAVE MORE DATA WHAT THAT MEANS. IT KIND OF SEEMS LIKE A JUSTIFICATION THAT'S GOING TO PUSH ME. BUT I'M STILL THINKING THROUGH THE TRAFFIC CONCERNS ON THIS ITEM. >> Mayor: SO I AGREE WITH YOU. COMPWH I READ THAT I WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT BEING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND EMPLOYENT OPPORTUNITIES. I COMPLETELY DISAGREE AS WE'VE KNOWN WHAT THE DEFINITION HAS BEEN ALL ALONG OF THAT. I DID HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH THAT AS WELL. I WILL NOT SUPPORTING THIS ITEM. BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT CASH DASH WELL, ONE I THINK AND I KNOW WE DIDN'T APPROVE THE USE. THIS IS QUASI. THERE'S PLENTY OF GAS STATIONS AND ON THAT STRIP, SAND ON GATLN BOULEVARD AND THIS IS A VERY HEAVY INTENSE USE, AND I I DON'T THINK IT FITS. SO I WILL NOT SUPPORTING IT. >> YES. I'M GLAD YOU PRAUT THAT UP. I WAS GOING TO FROM PORT ST. LUCIE BOULEVARD TO 95, YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A GUESS HOW MANY GAS STATIONS THERE ARE. NINE GAS STATIONS. WHEN B.J.'S GETS BUILT THAT WILL MAKE THE 10TH. >> Mayor: THANK YOU. MR. CITY ATTORNEY. >> THE CRITERIA FOR THIS THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION YOU'LL SEE IN YOUR BACK-UP MATERIALS LISTED IN STAFF REPORT. SO YOU HAVE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT CRITERIA TO CONSIDER. OF WHICH YOU'VE BEEN PRESENTED EVI EVIDENCE. OFF STREET PARKING. PROPERLY LOCATED UTILITIES. ADEQUATE SCREENING AND BUFFERING. SIGNS AND LIGHTING. YARDS AND SPACES. CONFORMANCE WITH THE PROPOSED USE OF THE CHAPTER. ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATION OF THE PROPOSED USE ON THE PARTICULAR PROPERTY INVOLVED. THAT WON'T IMPAIR THE HEALTH, SAFETY OR WELFARE OF THE WORKERS AND RESIDENTS IN THE CITY. BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF PERSONS WHO WILL ATTEND OR USE THE CITY. J WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE EXISTING OR COMMITTED OF ADJACENT PROPERTY. PROXIMITY OF POTENTIAL IMPACT OF THE SIZE, HEIGHT, ACCESS LOCATION, LIGHT AND NOISE. AND WOULD RESULT IN BEING SAYSSIVE-ONCE OR AND LASTLY DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF THE PROPOSED USE WILL BE IN FULL COMPLIANCE WITH ANY ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS AND SAFEGUARDS WHICH THE COUNCIL FOR SPECIAL APPROVAL IS REQUESTED. SHALL BE BEGUN OR COMPLETED OR BOTH. >> MADAM MAYOR CAN I ASK ONE MORE QUESTION. JUST BECAUSE I VOTED TO SECOND IT DOESN'T MEAN I HAVE TO APPROVE IT. >> Mayor: I'M GOING TO THE INTENSE. >> ARE YOU THE APPLICANT. YOU CAN COME FORWARD. >> GOOD EVENING. MY ERIC WITH HSQ GROUP. I'M A CIVIL ENGINEER REPRESENTING MURPHY SAW. I UNDERSTAND YOUR ABOUT THE GAS STATIONS ALONG THE ROAD. SINCE MAY WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH PUBLIC WORKS WITH FRANCIS, WITH THE WHOLE CLYDE, AND EVERYONE. I DO UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS BUT I FEEL THAT WE'VE GONE OUT OF OUR WAY TO REALLY INCREASE THE LEVEL OF SERVICE OF THE ROAD. IN PROPOSING THE LEFT TURN LANE. THE TWO RIGHT TURN LANES. THE MEDIAN. WE'VE ALREADY OBTAINED PERMITS WITH SOUTH FLORIDA. SO AND I WOULD JUST APPRECIATE IF YOU GUYS WOULD RECONSIDER YOUR OPPOSITION ON THIS. ANY QUESTIONS I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER. >> Mayor: ANY QUESTIONS? >> I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A FEW COMMENTS. >> Mayor: MAYOR SURE. >> SO I KNOW I HEAR PEOPLE WE'VE GOT A GAS STATION ON EVERY CORNER. THERE'S A GAS STATION, GAS STATION, ARE GAS STATION. WITH BUSINESS, DO YOU SAY WE GOT ENOUGH GAS STATION SO YOU CAN'T OPEN A GAS STATION. THAT WOULD BE WE'VE GOT ENOUGH CHICKEN PLACES WE DON'T DO ANOTHER CHICKEN JOINT. I CAN'T DO THAT WITH BUSINESSES. SOUNDS LIKE I WAS THE LONE SUPPORTER. PLANNING AND ZONING RECOMMENDED APPROVAL. STAFF FOUND THAT IT WAS CONSISTENT WITH ALL OF OUR CRITERIA LISTED IN THE SECTIONS. AND I CAN'T DO THAT FOR A BUSINESS JUST BECAUSE THERE'S A COMPWAS STATION ACROSS THE STREET OR DOWN THE STREET. I CAN'T DO THAT. >> Mayor: THANK YOU. >> I WANT TO CLARIFY FOR MYSELF, MY DETERMINATION IS BASED SOLELY ON THE TRAFFIC FLOW CONCERNS. I AGREE WITH COUNCILWOMAN MORGAN WE SHOULDN'T TELL ONE BUSINESS THEY CAN'T OPEN BECAUSE THERE'S OTHER BUSINESSES AND MY COMMENT ABOUT THE PRESENTATION WAS SIMPLY JUST AN ASIDE BECAUSE IT'S HAPPENED IN ITEM AFTER ITEM. BUT IT WAS JUST SOMETHING I WAS MEANING TO ACARESS WITH STAFF. AND I JUST WITH THE TRAFFIC CONCERNS I HUSHED THE ATTORNEY TRAFFIC AND SAFETY WAS ONE OF THE CONSIDERATIONS. THE SO FOR THAT REASON I WILL BE VOTING NO. >> SAME FOR ME. MY INITIAL COMMENT WAS ON TRAFFIC SAFETY. I DRIVE THAT ROAD EVERY DAY. I DRIVE IT IT THREE OR FOUR TIMES. BY ADDING A HIGH INTENSE BUSINESSLIKE THAT IT'S JUST GOING TO MAKE IT EVEN WORSE. I'M SORRY I HAVE TO BE LIKE THAT. BECAUSE I'M PRO BUSINESS. I HAVE TO LOOK OUT FOR THE RESIDENTS ESPECIALLY ON A HIGH TRAFFIC ROAD LIKE THAT. >> Mayor: MY ISSUE IS INTENSITY. IT'S A VERY INTENSE USE. IT'S JUST FOR ME IT'S TOO INTENSE. >> IF I COULD ADD, THE TURN LANES THAT WE'RE IMPROVING ARE BELOW WHERE THEY SHOULD BE AT FOR THE CURRENT TRAFFIC. SO WE'RE ACTUALLY IMPROVING THE SITUATION FOR THE CURRENT FOR EXISTING CONDITIONS AND FOR THE FUTURE. SO I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN, BUT WE ARE ALLEVIATING THE ISSUE OVERALL BASED ON THE TRAFFIC STUDY. >> Mayor: THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. >> SO MADAM MAYOR I'M ALSO NOT IN SUPPORT OF IT AND I'M GOING TO FOLLOW CRITERIA I BECAUSE OF CONCERNS WITH THE VEHICULAR MOVEMENTS AS WELL AS -- I UNDERSTAND THEY DID TRY TO TAKE SOME OF THE CONCERNS AND ADDRESS THEM. I THINK THAT THE INTENSITY OF A GAS STATION ON THAT CORNER WITH THE OTHER INTENSE USES SURROUNDING IT IS WHAT CONCERNS ME WITH THE VEHICULAR MOVEMENT AS WELL AS ITEM K WHICH ADDRESSES IN THE INTENSITY. AND AGAIN IT'S NOT OTHER INTENSE USES ON GATLIN BOULEVARD AND IT'S THE COMPOUNDED INTENSE USES. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ONE TO NOT SUPPORT SOMETHING WE HAVE TOO MANY BANKS. WE HAVE TOO MANY PHARMACIES. I THINK GATLIN IS A UNIQUE HAD, AND I THINK THAT THE CRITERIA IN THOSE TWO AREAS I FIND LACKING SO THANK YOU. >> Mayor: ALL RIGHT. SO I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. I'M GOING TO ASK THE CLERK TO DO A ROLL CALL. >> MAYOR MARTIN. NO, MA'AM. COUNCIL MEMBER BONNA. >> NO, MA'AM. COUNCIL MEMBER PICKETT. NO, MA'AM. COUNCIL MEMBER CABALLERO. >> NO, MA'AM. >> COUNCIL MEMBER MORGAN. YES, MA'AM. 11B, RESOLUTION 26-R02. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT ST.
