in the pledge? Uh-oh.

13
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,680
Got the only person eating at the die.

14
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,020
Of course I did.

15
00:04:05,060 --> 00:04:05,500
Good

00:05:20,980 --> 00:05:21,520
You have a quote.

37
00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:23,460
Thank you very much, Karen.

38
00:05:24,620 --> 00:05:25,540
Ms. Blake Boy,

39
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:28,380
you can send a agenda.

40
00:05:28,740 --> 00:05:33,680
Thank you. There are no additions to the consent agenda this morning.

41
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:39,900
You received Mayor Raleigh's excuse absence request in your additional agenda material.

42
00:05:39,900 --> 00:05:43,380
Okay. So it asks for you to move the consent agenda?

43
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,740
Excellent. Motion to consent agenda.

44
00:05:46,180 --> 00:05:46,660
Second.

45
00:05:46,700 --> 00:05:53,380
Motion by Mayor Harden, second by Mayor Gomez, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye.

46
00:05:54,260 --> 00:05:54,780
Any opposed?

47
00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:56,200
I'm sorry.

48
00:05:56,420 --> 00:06:02,980
This is the one where there was a biometallic sensitive blind that part of you said.

49
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,940
I think you're on the, maybe the public hearing agenda?

50
00:06:06,660 --> 00:06:06,860
Okay.

51
00:06:07,020 --> 00:06:07,160
All right.

52
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:08,240
All right.

53
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:16,540
All right. Excellent. Ms. Blake Boyne.

54
00:06:16,740 --> 00:06:23,880
Thank you. Item R1 is your proposed fiscal year 26 budget. The executive committee

55
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:29,820
considered the staff's recommendation at its earlier meeting today and recommended approval

56
00:06:30,780 --> 00:06:37,680
of the reduced budget to $1.5 million for FY 2020.

57
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:44,840
That reduction is based on the elimination of a vacant position since the year 2020.

58
00:06:45,220 --> 00:06:46,600
It's an administrative position.

59
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:53,500
And just for historical purposes, the Council did use to have we had three full-time administrative positions.

60
00:06:54,060 --> 00:06:59,340
But obviously as technology and communications have changed, you know, we've been able to,

61
00:06:59,980 --> 00:07:04,360
we have one full-time administrative position right now, and we have this vacant one,

62
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,140
and things are working great with the one full-time administrative.

63
00:07:08,020 --> 00:07:10,840
So when the Office of Management budget came with us

64
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,920
with the core budget proposal of $1.56 million.

65
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,860
We took a look at it and they said, what can you do for a five percent

66
00:07:19,860 --> 00:07:21,140
reduction for next year?

67
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,720
And we said, we'd be happy to eliminate the administrative position,

68
00:07:25,220 --> 00:07:27,700
which results in a 4.2 percent reduction of the budget.

69
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,340
And they were very pleased with those efforts.

70
00:07:31,340 --> 00:07:36,920
So, the budget that you see and that the Executive Committee recommend it will be for $1.5 million.

71
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:43,280
We anticipate that the council staff will continue to operate efficiently and effectively as we have.

72
00:07:43,700 --> 00:07:53,060
I also mentioned to the Executive Committee that we're doing a little bit of succession planning preparing for the retirement of the Assistant Executive Director.

73
00:07:53,060 --> 00:07:55,400
and DM wants to hear next year.

74
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:01,620
So we have been actively recruiting for a planner position to prepare for that.

75
00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:07,580
And we extended an offer this week, so you should meet a new planner June next year.

76
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,200
So we'll have eight full-time positions filled at that time,

77
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,040
plus our operating position of the council attorney.

78
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:22,120
So with that, I would ask for the full council to recommend the proposed reduced budget.

79
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,440
All right, we'll take a motion.

80
00:08:23,900 --> 00:08:24,520
Second.

81
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,420
Motion by Mayor Castilla.

82
00:08:26,740 --> 00:08:27,620
Second by Mayor Gomez.

83
00:08:27,980 --> 00:08:29,540
Any further discussion on this item?

84
00:08:30,380 --> 00:08:32,160
All those in favor, please signify by saying aye.

85
00:08:32,340 --> 00:08:32,680
Aye.

86
00:08:33,260 --> 00:08:33,900
Any opposed?

87
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:35,880
Motion carries unanimously.

88
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:37,820
Thank you very much.

89
00:08:38,860 --> 00:08:39,460
Ms. Blake Boy.

90
00:08:40,380 --> 00:08:40,960
Thank you.

91
00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:45,260
Item R2 is the annual evaluation of the Planning Council attorney.

92
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:52,100
The Executive Committee had a discussion at its early remeading and recommended approval of the

93
00:08:52,780 --> 00:08:58,020
of the evaluation as presented to you by Chair DeGorgio and I would turn it back to the chair.

94
00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,040
Thank you, Ms. Blake Boy.

95
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:04,220
Well, as I explained in the executive committee, I mean, this is my favorite job as chair,

96
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,300
because we have such an amazing staff.

97
00:09:06,860 --> 00:09:11,200
And it really, the hard part about writing this letter is keeping it,

98
00:09:11,220 --> 00:09:15,260
I try to keep it for two pages because it could easily go with different adjectives,

99
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,260
different spirulatives to make this ten pages.

100
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:19,400
We have an amazing staff.

101
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,180
So I'm going to start with Andy, I'm not going to read this whole letter, I hopefully you've

102
00:09:24,180 --> 00:09:29,180
all read it in the back up, like I said, I could speak forever about Andy, how great

103
00:09:29,180 --> 00:09:29,560
he is.

104
00:09:30,140 --> 00:09:35,220
And it's not just us that I think feel that way when you talk to other stakeholders in

105
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:41,920
the county, tri-count area, they all recognize this staff is being one of the best staffs

106
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,760
of any miscellaneous or county staff or anything else.

107
00:09:45,140 --> 00:09:49,380
So I really appreciate all that you both do and all that you do out there as staff member

108
00:09:49,380 --> 00:09:52,400
So with that, I'm just going to read a couple of highlights here.

109
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:57,760
I'm going to just read the preamble only for the record for Andy.

110
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,680
I won't do the same thing for Barb.

111
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:03,980
So preamble, in accordance with the provisions outlined in the letter of understanding,

112
00:10:04,260 --> 00:10:08,000
dated August 31st, 1995, and reaffirmed through subsequent planning

113
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:08,800
council actions.

114
00:10:09,140 --> 00:10:12,920
The planning council is required to conduct an annual performance evaluation of its legal

115
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:13,300
council.

116
00:10:13,740 --> 00:10:18,320
As chair of the Brower County Planning Council, I am responsible for preparing and presenting

117
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:23,600
disavaluation. This review reflects an assessment of Mr. Andrew Merotis's performance over

118
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,500
the past year in its capacity as planning counsel. Hopefully that chance to review this,

119
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,440
I've bullet pointed each one of these legal representation professional integrity highest

120
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:38,730
level, contribute contribution to planning council meetings, just phenomenal, daily support and

121
00:10:39,940 --> 00:10:45,100
and interagency collaboration, institutional knowledge, and then I'm going to read the conclusion

122
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:46,420
for the record.

123
00:10:46,940 --> 00:10:49,680
Is with great respect and appreciation that I recognize, Mr.

124
00:10:49,740 --> 00:10:54,240
Morodas is three decades of dedicated service to the Broward County Planning Council.

125
00:10:54,940 --> 00:11:00,020
His role continues to be vital to the organization's success and is clear, direct and

126
00:11:00,020 --> 00:11:03,640
principal legal guidance is truly irreplaceable.

127
00:11:04,140 --> 00:11:08,640
Looking ahead as anticipated, Mr. Morodas will continue to play a key role during the

128
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,480
upcoming seven-year update to the Broward County land use plan.

129
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:22,460
While Mr. Rhodes clearly qualifies for a merit-based compensation increase, he has once again graciously declined to request one, maintaining a longstanding tradition of service,

130
00:11:22,940 --> 00:11:25,120
rude and commitment rather than compensation.

131
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:35,740
In light of his outstanding performance this past year, I strongly recommend that this evaluation be entered into the record and used as a reference for your future assessments.

132
00:11:36,620 --> 00:11:39,060
Andy, thank you again for doing all that you do for us.

133
00:11:39,060 --> 00:11:39,560
Thank you.

134
00:11:43,430 --> 00:11:44,650
I'll open the floor for comments.

135
00:11:45,210 --> 00:11:45,710
Brief comments.

136
00:11:46,630 --> 00:11:49,320
Yes, thank you.

137
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:49,620
Thank you.

138
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,220
Exceptional service to the county and to the people

139
00:11:53,220 --> 00:11:58,520
and of the county and to the staff,

140
00:11:59,020 --> 00:12:05,060
find staff just reliable and always on the money.

141
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,220
And much appreciated all your service.

142
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:09,380
Thank you very much, excellent.

143
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:11,500
I think we all feel the same way here.

144
00:12:12,620 --> 00:12:12,800
OK.

145
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,740
I don't know if I'm a motioner, Mayor.

146
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:18,540
Oh, I know.

147
00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:22,380
But for the audience, you may not have...

148
00:12:22,380 --> 00:12:23,060
We do know this.

149
00:12:23,300 --> 00:12:27,060
We've actually been gushing earlier today.

150
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:29,660
So please don't take some of our quiet now,

151
00:12:29,820 --> 00:12:31,560
as if we really don't care.

152
00:12:32,900 --> 00:12:33,900
We really do care.

153
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:35,680
And he's absolutely phenomenal.

154
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,620
And so from everything that was said earlier today,

155
00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:40,560
everything that people are thinking now, all positive,

156
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:41,840
and thank you.

157
00:12:42,460 --> 00:12:42,660
Great.

158
00:12:42,660 --> 00:12:44,340
You did a motion to me.

159
00:12:44,340 --> 00:12:45,240
I thought that was.

160
00:12:46,220 --> 00:12:46,780
Yeah, you did.

161
00:12:46,980 --> 00:12:47,080
That's right.

162
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:48,100
Move that quickly.

163
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:48,720
Excellent.

164
00:12:49,180 --> 00:12:49,920
Any thanks again.

165
00:12:51,460 --> 00:12:52,460
Would you like to say anything?

166
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:54,100
For sure.

167
00:12:55,220 --> 00:12:55,420
No.

168
00:12:56,580 --> 00:12:58,900
It's much appreciated the Conwards.

169
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,980
And it's just a pleasure working with this staff, this director, and this staff, and

170
00:13:03,980 --> 00:13:07,980
this board on really exciting, important work.

171
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,600
And everyone is so dedicated and I'm looking at people I've known for many

172
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:18,640
years and it's really pleasing to be part of something as an attorney so so many times as an

173
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:26,640
attorney you're involved in kind of a kind of legal combat and that gets trying after

174
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:31,940
while and I've been blessed in that my career has been in representing governmental entities

175
00:13:31,940 --> 00:13:38,640
which I love and I particularly enjoy and I've loved working with the Brown Army planning

176
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:44,620
Council Barber and I were talking, I always, I can keep track of my years with the planning

177
00:13:44,620 --> 00:13:49,820
Council, with the birth of my daughter. She's turning 30 this year and it's 30 years

178
00:13:49,820 --> 00:13:56,240
from me here. I'm blessed to and appreciate the privilege of serving you and it is a privilege.

179
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,080
Thank you very much. Thanks, Andy.

180
00:13:59,460 --> 00:14:06,860
Okay. Moving on to the recommendation for, excuse me, the evaluation of Miss Blake Boyer

181
00:14:06,860 --> 00:14:11,000
executive director. I'll skip the preamble, but I'm going to read this first paragraph

182
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,120
because I think it's important just to enter it in the director for a bit.

183
00:14:15,860 --> 00:14:21,140
It's titled Leadership in Strategic Oversight. Ms. Boye joined the planning council in 2000

184
00:14:21,140 --> 00:14:26,160
following her initial service with Brower County beginning in 1996 as completed her 13th

185
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:31,240
years executive director. Her tenure continues to be marked by exceptional performance, steadfast

186
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:36,000
professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to public service. She constantly demonstrates

187
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,160
and ability to manage the planning council, multi-faceted work program

188
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,440
while engaging constructively with council members and external stakeholders.

189
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,940
Her approachability, accessibility, and deep institutional knowledge allow her to foster

190
00:14:49,940 --> 00:14:55,060
productive relationships with municipal staff, county agencies, and private sector partners alike.

191
00:14:55,660 --> 00:14:59,280
She manages complex high-pressure situations with discernment and commitment.

192
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,760
All we strive to achieve outcomes that are practical, fair and forward-looking. Her integrity and leadership

193
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:11,020
have been instrumental in maintaining the planning council's high level of credibility and respect

194
00:15:11,020 --> 00:15:16,280
throughout the county. Additionally, under Ms. Boyz leadership, the planning council and its staff

195
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:21,060
received exceptionally high marks on recent customer satisfaction surveys. The comments

196
00:15:21,060 --> 00:15:26,960
accompanying these ratings repeat, highlighted the team's attentiveness, friendliness, and unwavering

197
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,420
professionalism. These testimonies are reflected in Miss Boy's standards of excellence in

198
00:15:31,420 --> 00:15:36,520
the organizational culture she has cultivated, one committed to public service, responsiveness,

199
00:15:37,060 --> 00:15:41,380
and genuine care for stakeholders. I'm on a disc of jump right to conclusion.

200
00:15:43,420 --> 00:15:44,260
Miss Boy's

201
00:15:44,260 --> 00:15:48,000
consistent delivery of exceptional outcomes to strategic initiatives and operational improvements

202
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:53,160
continues to merit the highest level of recognition. Although she is not requested a compensation

203
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:58,840
adjustment and despite budgetary constraints remains eligible to receive any future performance-based

204
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,720
increases authorized by the County Commission. In light of our outstanding contributions,

205
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:09,100
particularly her leadership in the Broward Next Update, I strongly recommend that this evaluation

206
00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:14,540
be entered into the official record as a testament to her exemplary service. Her continued dedication

207
00:16:14,540 --> 00:16:20,040
and effectiveness reflect the highest ideals of public leadership. Ms. Blake Boyne.

208
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:34,480
You know,

209
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,640
It's always fun when you turn that color.

210
00:16:37,860 --> 00:16:39,400
I believe it, that's just my jacket.

211
00:16:40,020 --> 00:16:40,940
So I'll entertain a motion.

212
00:16:40,940 --> 00:16:41,380
I'm worried.

213
00:16:42,060 --> 00:16:44,180
Motion by Mayor Gomez, second by Mayor Castello,

214
00:16:44,420 --> 00:16:46,080
those in Fair Police City, if I would be saying aye.

215
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:47,340
Any opposed?

216
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,360
Oh, for the comments, other than we love you.

217
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,020
We love you.

218
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,080
We love you, thank you.

219
00:16:55,500 --> 00:16:57,980
Comment from Commissioner Fisher.

220
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,940
I can't believe it's been 13 years, right,

221
00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:03,660
because I was privileged to be the chair

222
00:17:03,660 --> 00:17:06,240
this council when we did the transition from Henry Schnee's

223
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,540
Act to you, Ms. Bob, and the people always so.

224
00:17:10,100 --> 00:17:12,440
And you've just been never missed a step,

225
00:17:12,620 --> 00:17:15,880
and you've just been absolutely fantastic for this council

226
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,220
and for the county, now that I'm with the county,

227
00:17:18,700 --> 00:17:19,640
it just really shines.

228
00:17:20,300 --> 00:17:23,920
And it's an honor to have you be in this position

229
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,060
and hope you continue that way for many years to come,

230
00:17:27,180 --> 00:17:30,300
but it's just a pleasure to work with you for all these years.

231
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,560
Well stated, I think we all feel the same way.

232
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,420
Ms. Blackboard floor jurors?

233
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:42,880
Thank you very much and as Andy said, it's such a privilege to work for the Planning Council

234
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:48,380
with the Planning Council. I said it earlier, we have the best staff, Dan, Don, who to

235
00:17:48,380 --> 00:17:54,300
Alicia, Kim and Leslie, they're the best. And we wouldn't be able to give you the materials

236
00:17:54,300 --> 00:17:59,960
that we have without all of them. They do so much of the groundwork for us to be able to provide

237
00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:04,680
the materials to you and you know get them to you in time so I just want to say thank you

238
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:11,940
to them also but it is this is the best job and it's it's even when things are you know

239
00:18:11,940 --> 00:18:18,960
controversial or you know weird get through it and it's good so thank you it's a pillaged work here

240
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:27,340
and Andy is the best attorney ever so thank you Andy so thank you off thank you both thanks council

241
00:18:27,340 --> 00:18:28,460
Item R4.

242
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,580
Councillor for support.

243
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:39,640
Mr. Chair, as part of the Attorney's report, I'll just acknowledge that provided you

244
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:44,200
some materials with regard to sunshine and law of public records law.

245
00:18:44,620 --> 00:18:52,140
I changed it up to sunshine and public records law to try to come up with just a couple

246
00:18:52,140 --> 00:18:54,660
of pages that has all the important things to you.

247
00:18:54,660 --> 00:18:58,960
The planning counts are not worried about how to schedule a meeting and all those things stay

248
00:18:58,960 --> 00:18:59,840
up to take care of that.

249
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,240
So, try to get the highlights, it's type of document that I would recommend you pull out

250
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,660
once a year or every six months just to take a look at, to remind yourself, the things to

251
00:19:08,660 --> 00:19:09,400
look out for.

252
00:19:11,940 --> 00:19:18,400
So, certainly available to answer any questions if something comes up before a meeting, if you

253
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:19,200
have any questions.

254
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:25,420
Secondly, some legislative updates,

255
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,380
the Florida legislature passed SB 1730.

256
00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:38,260
This is the affordable housing bill, the third iteration of the live local.

257
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:46,300
As you recall, at the previous meeting, we talked about SB 943, which was a competing bill,

258
00:19:46,300 --> 00:19:49,040
which was much more sweeping in its application.

259
00:19:50,780 --> 00:19:55,540
This is more targeted and as a result of the legislative process,

260
00:19:56,180 --> 00:20:00,240
some refisions were made to encourage affordable housing.

261
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:05,520
As I say, the legislature, just like every city in county, is working its way through a really critical

262
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,020
problem for the state.

263
00:20:08,020 --> 00:20:19,680
And some of the main things it did is just briefly, they're listed in your memo, clearly defining the application.

264
00:20:20,260 --> 00:20:23,880
You know, there was some questions whether replied to plan, plan unit developments.

265
00:20:24,060 --> 00:20:26,180
That's not a question anymore, it does.

266
00:20:27,580 --> 00:20:29,840
The definitions were changed.

267
00:20:30,500 --> 00:20:37,880
Very strong on the administrative process, so they reinforce the fact that you prove these affordable

268
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:44,020
housing projects that qualify through the administrative process, without a quasi-judicial hearing,

269
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:55,880
limitations on the amount of commercial or in a mixed use project, and basically going back

270
00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:06,740
and just cementing the fact that with regard to restrictions on affordable housing on high

271
00:21:06,740 --> 00:21:12,180
and what was in a particular land development code as of July 1st, 2023,

272
00:21:15,860 --> 00:21:17,060
and a kind of mandatory

273
00:21:17,060 --> 00:21:27,540
parking requirement of 15% reduction, as well as some restrictions on moratorium to stop

274
00:21:27,540 --> 00:21:34,380
any affordable housing projects. So it's a further iteration, it is much less expansive,

275
00:21:34,380 --> 00:21:43,560
it's much more targeted I think than 943 so that hits the books hopefully again the hope

276
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:48,000
is that it will start making a dent in the affordable housing issue.

277
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:59,680
Another piece of legislation that passes SB 1080, this has a number of minor or not terribly

278
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,120
consequential provisions with regard development permits, it has language which regard

279
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:09,860
to the school board's ability to enact certain developer

280
00:22:09,860 --> 00:22:15,820
executions with regard to schools in addition to an impact

281
00:22:15,820 --> 00:22:19,040
fee or in lieu of an impact fee.

282
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,580
I think it really just, in that regard, just codifies what

283
00:22:22,580 --> 00:22:25,200
already exists in the law and that it applies the rational

284
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,580
nexus test, which I think was going to be applied by a court,

285
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,900
whether the legislature said it or not.

286
00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:44,280
And then the final, definitely not least of the legislation is SB 180.

287
00:22:45,620 --> 00:22:51,600
This is a 48-page bill on hurricane preparedness that the legislature passed.

288
00:22:51,600 --> 00:23:02,160
And on page 47 of that bill, it contained a language that indicated that the county

289
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:08,000
or city shall not adopt any comprehensive plan, amendment, or land development regulation,

290
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:16,260
which was more restrictive than existed as August 1, 2024.

291
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,120
And it is retroactive of a place to anything that was passed during that interim.

292
00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:36,020
So, it's a fairly wide ranging effect on the county and municipality's ability to adopt legislation

293
00:23:36,020 --> 00:23:38,220
that is more restrictive or burdensome.

294
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,640
Those are the words of the legislature.

295
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,120
Are we going to?

296
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:45,080
Absolutely.

297
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:45,780
Okay, sure.

298
00:23:45,780 --> 00:24:06,080
So just a segue, we presented that specific bill to the executive committee at their meeting as the steering committee for for Broward Knacks and the implications for that process and what we would share with the whole council and what the steering committee agreed is that we're going to take the summer.

299
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:12,840
South's going to take the summer, June and July, to go through the draft language that we've

300
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:19,100
been vetting with the executive, I'm sorry, with the steering committee, to bifurcate what's

301
00:24:19,100 --> 00:24:24,920
in some of these and what could be considered more burdensome or restrictive. So to ensure that we

302
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:31,240
don't put the county in a position, that's going to be in conflict with the legislation. So we'll send out

303
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:37,520
kind of a pause of the forward facing these public meetings, but staff will be working with the attorneys.

304
00:24:38,140 --> 00:24:42,900
And then also, if the language is more burdensome if we come up with that, that's already

305
00:24:42,900 --> 00:24:47,860
been considered with the committee, if we could perhaps transition to that to incentive

306
00:24:47,860 --> 00:24:56,140
base or other opportunities to keep those documents and ideas perhaps within the plan.

307
00:24:56,140 --> 00:25:03,020
So that's what we intend on doing June and July, and then we would pick back up late July

308
00:25:03,020 --> 00:25:08,680
August to for committee meeting to kind of present those findings and what the next step

309
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:09,320
would be.

310
00:25:09,540 --> 00:25:13,260
And that's before we get to any public hearings with the Planning Council, so we wouldn't

311
00:25:13,260 --> 00:25:17,980
ensure that we're not putting, like I said, the Planning Council or County Commission in

312
00:25:17,980 --> 00:25:20,340
a position to be in conflict with legislation.

313
00:25:20,340 --> 00:25:32,740
And the last I looked at Mr. Chair, I'm not aware of the governor having signed it yet so obviously that's a caveat that we're putting, but I think Barbara's correct.

314
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:45,340
This is, you know, it's it's fairly draconian in nature and it is retroactive although we're pretty we feel pretty good about what this board has recommended and what the county has done from August 1st

315
00:25:45,340 --> 00:25:47,240
that little retroactive period.

316
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:52,780
We feel pretty confident about the legality of everything that has been done to the

317
00:25:52,780 --> 00:25:53,040
date.

318
00:25:53,780 --> 00:25:57,780
But we're going to continue with the work of Broward next amendment that's going forward,

319
00:25:58,180 --> 00:26:05,780
which is going to have to take a little time to absorb the application of this new law

320
00:26:05,780 --> 00:26:07,620
if it is signed by the government.

321
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:08,520
We'll know shortly.

322
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:09,520
Next one.

323
00:26:09,620 --> 00:26:10,400
Thank you, Mr. Rose.

324
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:11,500
Anything else?

325
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:13,180
Nothing further.

326
00:26:13,180 --> 00:26:16,140
questions comments for Ms. Rose?

327
00:26:16,140 --> 00:26:16,800
Mr. Chair.

328
00:26:17,300 --> 00:26:19,000
I've got Mayor Gomez, and I'll get comfortable.

329
00:26:20,060 --> 00:26:20,900
Thank you.

330
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,780
On the last one, SB.

331
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:25,080
180.

332
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,240
Well, I have my opinions on it being unclear and

333
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,000
ambiguous of the Liburdons, so I'm especially

334
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,360
going to go back to August of 2024.

335
00:26:34,780 --> 00:26:35,420
It's all of the issue.

336
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,680
But as we're trying to plan for our next,

337
00:26:41,070 --> 00:26:42,150
do what we said we're going to do.

338
00:26:42,150 --> 00:26:45,730
But is there a way to say, because it's sunsets, right?

339
00:26:45,730 --> 00:26:48,990
Whereas, if right now, it's sunsets in August, 27, is that right?

340
00:26:50,070 --> 00:26:53,010
We're planning, we're probably not getting this fully done

341
00:26:53,010 --> 00:26:56,390
until sometime in 26, right?

342
00:26:57,850 --> 00:26:59,290
The ground next, we rise, that's correct.

343
00:26:59,390 --> 00:27:03,050
Yes, so we did talk about, and maybe you just

344
00:27:03,050 --> 00:27:04,970
dropped off the call when you're working in.

345
00:27:04,970 --> 00:27:07,790
We talked about, we're, we're, by-for-cating,

346
00:27:07,890 --> 00:27:10,190
we're not removing anything from the documents.

347
00:27:10,190 --> 00:27:19,190
Right, no, my thought is while we continue to go and said we could do incentive based and change some of it to make sure it goes through but also have an alternative of

348
00:27:20,410 --> 00:27:24,190
It's effective, it's say the incentives August 31, 2027

349
00:27:25,210 --> 00:27:38,170
It starts September 1, 2027 before whatever we want to do going forward. I don't know if it's proper. I don't know I'm just throwing it out as an idea and if it's something completely off based and I never said it

350
00:27:38,850 --> 00:27:42,950
It's not all face and believe me, we're going to be considering everything on that.

351
00:27:43,830 --> 00:27:49,470
We're going to get creative where it's appropriate and within about, no, you're not

352
00:27:49,470 --> 00:27:49,810
a face.

353
00:27:49,970 --> 00:27:50,270
Thank you.

354
00:27:50,410 --> 00:27:54,750
Because our hard work shouldn't be stopped at the tracks and then have to delay and bring

355
00:27:54,750 --> 00:27:56,570
it back and forward and just...

356
00:27:56,570 --> 00:28:01,030
No, that's a goal is to have everything ready, even if we're going to hold off on something.

357
00:28:01,210 --> 00:28:05,570
So we're going to be moving full theme ahead, which is have to account for a new factor.

358
00:28:06,210 --> 00:28:06,850
Thank you.

359
00:28:06,950 --> 00:28:07,410
Thank you, Mayor.

360
00:28:08,550 --> 00:28:10,090
Thank you, Mr. Chair.

361
00:28:10,290 --> 00:28:12,790
Andy, can we go back to SB 1730?

362
00:28:13,750 --> 00:28:17,710
While we had expressed our concerns about House Bill 943,

363
00:28:17,890 --> 00:28:18,970
and it was much more sweeping.

364
00:28:19,230 --> 00:28:20,290
If you were called at the last meeting,

365
00:28:20,470 --> 00:28:23,710
I had brought up my concerns about the administrative approval

366
00:28:23,710 --> 00:28:27,170
of houses of worship, being a fruitful, affordable housing.

367
00:28:27,610 --> 00:28:31,830
And I know that that was inserted into the Senate bill,

368
00:28:31,830 --> 00:28:34,630
kind of toward the end of the approval process.

369
00:28:34,630 --> 00:28:41,230
And if you're all my concerns or many of us have houses of worship that sit smack dab in our single family resident neighborhoods

370
00:28:41,790 --> 00:28:46,950
Could you clarify with that insertion was that also administrative approval? Will there be no public hearing?

371
00:28:52,660 --> 00:28:57,800
The language I think it's a little bit better from my understanding is that it

372
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,420
It authorized local governments to approve affordable housing developments on parcels owned by a religious

373
00:29:02,420 --> 00:29:10,620
institution containing a public house of worship, so it certainly wouldn't apply to vacant land that doesn't appear and it seems to be more permissive

374
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,020
with regard to

375
00:29:15,860 --> 00:29:17,660
affordable housing developments on

376
00:29:17,660 --> 00:29:24,220
parcels owned by a religious or organization. Correct, but that could be a house of worship that decides that

377
00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:25,800
they're

378
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:31,040
They don't have enough parishioners and they decide to sell that property.

379
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:36,760
I guess my concern, again, is going back to that administrative approval as it was in the

380
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:37,660
House bill.

381
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:39,520
Okay, so no public hearing.

382
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:40,780
I think it's important for the media.

383
00:29:40,780 --> 00:29:41,240
No, no.

384
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,640
If it's subject to this bill, it's administrative bill.

385
00:29:46,300 --> 00:29:46,400
Right.

386
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,020
That's why I wanted to be clear for the municipalities to be aware of that, if that's

387
00:29:50,020 --> 00:29:50,460
under the law.

388
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:51,140
Thank you, Andy.

389
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:53,500
Thank you, Councillor Woodward.

390
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:54,880
Any further comments or questions?

391
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:59,980
Just regarding 1730, someone had, you know, the phrase, none of my...

392
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:23,080
I'm concerned about this Senate bill 180 stuff. I think that when tools are taken out of the tool box, that's a very dangerous thing.

393
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:31,240
And whatever, whatever good, and I'm sure that somewhere in the spectrum of the thinking

394
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:39,040
there was some desire to properly serve a good purpose.

395
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:52,120
I'm sure that had to be in place, but to restrict local governments and local planning

396
00:30:52,120 --> 00:31:03,180
of the evolution of land use planning over time, and I think that's a horrible mistake.

397
00:31:03,540 --> 00:31:15,240
Now, I don't want to say that in two sweeping away, but that's just taking the planning out of urban planning is not a good idea.

398
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:36,040
And I think that it probably will end up doing more harm than to it, if there was a specific thing that they wanted to zero in on and during the executive session we talked about how this had to do with Hurricane Damage properties and the rebuilding.

399
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:45,100
And they should have not been in much more narrow, as Mayor Gomez said, this is a very broadly

400
00:31:45,980 --> 00:31:47,780
stated set of rules.

401
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:59,700
And I look forward to how this evolves and how it ends up getting interpreted and handled

402
00:31:59,700 --> 00:32:07,900
but it's healthy, on occasion, to get rid of old rules and to create some new ones.

403
00:32:08,700 --> 00:32:12,200
And getting rid of some old rules might create a burden as well.

404
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:18,560
And bringing in some new ones, you could see it as a burden,

405
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,660
but it might also create opportunity.

406
00:32:21,660 --> 00:32:30,460
So I'm very, I'm very concerned from what I've heard today about Senate Bill 180.

407
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:32,620
Thank you, Mayor.

408
00:32:33,820 --> 00:32:34,860
Further comments, questions?

409
00:32:35,780 --> 00:32:39,900
I share concerns as we all do, and that's why staff is trying to

410
00:32:39,900 --> 00:32:43,660
we're so diligently to pivocate this and continue our

411
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,380
requirements with power next in the seven year review.

412
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,740
So with that, Ms. Blake Boy.

413
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,000
Thank you.

414
00:32:51,220 --> 00:32:52,680
The executive director is report today.

415
00:32:52,860 --> 00:32:55,460
We are going to talk about the barred next so we don't need to cover that.

416
00:32:55,740 --> 00:33:00,900
The other item that is in your back up material is we do an annual survey regarding policy

417
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,720
2164 of the Galler policy.

418
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:04,900
We'll call it.

419
00:33:05,460 --> 00:33:08,040
I just we survey all of the municipalities.

420
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,020
And a couple of things I just want to note from the material that's in here.

421
00:33:12,340 --> 00:33:14,580
One, it's been shared with some of the Galler.

422
00:33:14,580 --> 00:33:17,440
And I sent him a copy when we released it to you last week.

423
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,380
He was, you know, thanked us for it.

424
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,360
So what I would say about policy 214 is the same thing

425
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:25,340
I kind of said last year.

426
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,400
We're seeing local governments using it,

427
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,220
but there are no units on the ground yet.

428
00:33:30,220 --> 00:33:31,900
Permits have not been pulled yet.

429
00:33:32,220 --> 00:33:35,440
So the permitting part is where we know that they've used

430
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,160
the policy if they're going to be either affordable units

431
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,120
on the ground or they're buying out.

432
00:33:41,140 --> 00:33:42,920
That's when they have to make their payment.

433
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,140
if they're paying the in-lua fee.

434
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,120
So no money's have been collected as of today,

435
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,220
but it's close to $20 million that's committed to.

436
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,940
And that numbers actually lower than last year,

437
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,080
because what some cities have seen

438
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,880
is that a developer, once you use the policy,

439
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,200
they committed to the in-lua back by out,

440
00:34:03,220 --> 00:34:05,460
but now they're going to build the actual units.

441
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,300
So we're seeing a transition that way.

442
00:34:07,340 --> 00:34:08,520
So the same number of units,

443
00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:10,880
but just a few more units,

444
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,200
but a lesser amount of money

445
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:17,060
because of that transition and that just came to fruition when we were at a meeting that's on our

446
00:34:17,060 --> 00:34:22,700
gallery was having one of the developers commented on that difference. So that's just for your

447
00:34:22,700 --> 00:34:30,020
information. And then with that, I will share for the public hearing agenda today items PH1,

448
00:34:30,020 --> 00:34:32,940
2, 3a, 3b, and 4.

449
00:34:33,500 --> 00:34:38,360
Items 1, 3a, 3b, and 4 have staff recommendations,

450
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,580
generally, of an approval,

451
00:34:43,380 --> 00:34:43,520
sorry.

452
00:34:43,860 --> 00:34:47,620
Item 2 is not, planning council staff is not supporting it.

453
00:34:47,740 --> 00:34:49,640
So I know that that item needs to be pulled

454
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,480
from the agenda for the staff to overview

455
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,400
and for the applicants to share their information with you, too.

456
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:04,820
So on items 1, 3a, 3b, and 4, there's no one signing to speak other than the Agents

457
00:35:04,820 --> 00:35:06,720
Applicants or Local Governments.

458
00:35:07,260 --> 00:35:07,280
Chair.

459
00:35:08,300 --> 00:35:08,960
Mayor Castillo.

460
00:35:09,180 --> 00:35:11,980
I'd like to move items 1, 3, and 4 on the agenda.

461
00:35:12,300 --> 00:35:14,460
2, 3, and 3b and 4 on the agenda.

462
00:35:14,780 --> 00:35:18,600
We have a motion from Mayor Castillo, second from Mayor Harden, further discussion on these

463
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:18,940
items.

464
00:35:19,820 --> 00:35:22,280
All those in favor, please signify by saying I'm sorry.

465
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:22,960
I'm sorry, Mr. Chair.

466
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,400
Can I just get a, I just get a clarification?

467
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:26,660
Yes.

468
00:35:26,660 --> 00:35:28,040
Are we moving

469
00:35:28,980 --> 00:35:29,460
3A

470
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,980
3A and 3B correct?

471
00:35:36,500 --> 00:35:38,560
Did you hear me that was 3A and 3B?

472
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:38,860
Yes.

473
00:35:39,100 --> 00:35:39,280
May I?

474
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:40,200
Was that Alan?

475
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:41,340
Is that Dr. Zeman?

476
00:35:41,740 --> 00:35:42,660
No, it's I apologize.

477
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:43,460
Mike Ryan.

478
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,380
I'd like to have a discussion on 3A and 3B.

479
00:35:50,020 --> 00:35:50,560
So would I chair?

480
00:35:51,260 --> 00:35:51,740
Okay.

481
00:35:52,380 --> 00:35:52,820
I'll move on.

482
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:54,440
I'll move on.

483
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:54,460
I'll move on.

484
00:35:55,820 --> 00:35:56,300
I'll move on.

485
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:00,860
I'll move on.

486
00:36:00,860 --> 00:36:03,540
the age four second by Mayor Harden, all those in fair

487
00:36:03,540 --> 00:36:04,860
please should have obviously saying aye.

488
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:06,440
Aye.

489
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:06,480
Aye.

490
00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:07,920
Any opposed?

491
00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:09,460
Motion passing unanimously.

492
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,980
Turn your DMPOs have an award ceremony so could we take

493
00:36:24,500 --> 00:36:25,980
the 3A and 3B now?

494
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:28,640
Is that without a second?

495
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,660
Is that okay for the commissioner?

496
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,540
We look at 3A and 3B and take it out of order?

497
00:36:33,700 --> 00:36:34,320
Let's do it.

498
00:36:34,500 --> 00:36:34,880
Thank you.

499
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:35,600
Without objection?

500
00:36:36,300 --> 00:36:36,560
That's excellent.

501
00:36:36,820 --> 00:36:37,980
Thank you.

502
00:36:37,980 --> 00:36:40,160
like boy, item 3A.

503
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,540
Sure, thank you.

504
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,360
So the reason that I just want to start with,

505
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,440
the reason these items are partnered together

506
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,860
because while they are separate applications,

507
00:36:50,060 --> 00:36:53,240
one is for 3A is for land use plan change

508
00:36:53,240 --> 00:36:58,100
and 3B is for a natural resource map series removal.

509
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,300
So they are the same similar sites.

510
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,080
The map that you see before you,

511
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,180
the area in red is the land use amendment site

512
00:37:07,180 --> 00:37:13,600
And that is proposed to change from recreation, open space, to transportation use.

513
00:37:13,660 --> 00:37:17,100
This is that Pompano Air Park in the city of Pompano Beach.

514
00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:24,280
And it is planned right now for right now that the uses are aviation uses.

515
00:37:24,340 --> 00:37:28,860
And this is undisturbed, some undisturbed lands part to the runway idea.

516
00:37:29,700 --> 00:37:35,580
So the recreation, open space use needs to be changed to transportation to be able.

517
00:37:35,580 --> 00:37:36,060
Thank you.

518
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:36,980
This is not the better.

519
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,500
To be able to be changed, we have to go to the next map, please.

520
00:37:42,180 --> 00:37:43,460
To the transportation use.

521
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,960
Right now, the airport uses the aviation uses can't be expanded without this land use

522
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:48,360
change.

523
00:37:49,020 --> 00:37:59,860
It's approximately 48 acres, and it is generally surrounded by commerce to the west and to the north

524
00:37:59,860 --> 00:38:03,760
and then some single family across Copens Road, also to the north.

525
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:11,220
And then also it's a particular note, the golf course use in the green part of the smack,

526
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,860
which I show the area, sorry, nothing control.

527
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:23,620
So here you can see the adjacent golf course use for the the land use plan change to to occur.

528
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:31,700
The underlying yellow pieces on this map are the course parts of the corresponding natural resource map series amendment.

529
00:38:31,700 --> 00:38:46,640
So for the land use change, land use change can happen, but for the site to be developed, the natural resource map series piece will also have to be considered and taken care of as well.

530
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,480
The city has been working diligently.

531
00:38:51,620 --> 00:38:55,960
There is a deed restriction on this property for aviation uses.

532
00:38:55,960 --> 00:39:00,700
So it's very important to note that it's under control, generally, of the federal aviation

533
00:39:00,700 --> 00:39:01,480
administration.

534
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:09,720
There is correspondence from the FAA in your materials, noting that it does not support other

535
00:39:09,720 --> 00:39:13,340
uses than aviation uses within its boundaries.

536
00:39:13,500 --> 00:39:17,540
This is also a secure area, I think, also very important to note.

537
00:39:18,380 --> 00:39:23,180
So as I mentioned, Plane Council staff does recommend approval of the land use change.

538
00:39:23,180 --> 00:39:36,620
And the further piece of this is that it does not authorize the development until such time that the natural resource not series is also amended or otherwise changed to accommodate the development.

539
00:39:36,620 --> 00:40:00,200
The City of Pompano Beach staff is here today, and they have Barrington Irving, sorry, the bits, so they have a brief presentation and overview, as well as a video of the bits, which is an aviation education society, so if you, if it's okay with the chair.

540
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:04,300
Absolutely. Miss Dolan, good morning.

541
00:40:11,620 --> 00:40:13,020
Parenting, good to see you.

542
00:40:20,910 --> 00:40:21,850
You can give her the remote.

543
00:40:35,240 --> 00:40:37,660
Good morning. Jean Dolan development services.

544
00:40:37,860 --> 00:40:39,240
I'm a principal who I honor with the city.

545
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,720
Good to see those familiar faces up there.

546
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,600
So yeah, this is our, we're going to do one presentation for both items

547
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,280
because they're really co-mingled.

548
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,000
They really can't be separated and have any meaning.

549
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,180
So these are our air park.

550
00:40:52,180 --> 00:40:56,720
Both land use change and the ESL map amendment request.

551
00:40:56,720 --> 00:41:03,940
So this again shows the highlighted area in blue that we're changing from transportation to from open space recreation.

552
00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:10,800
It was never part of the golf course, so there's really no reason to have an open space recreation land use on top of that parcel.

553
00:41:11,500 --> 00:41:19,600
Completing that corner makes all of the airpark restricted area transportation land use regardless of whether it's an ESL or not.

554
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:27,420
So, this is the ESL map and the areas that we're requesting to be removed from the ESL map.

555
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:38,200
So, 91.95, co-relate to the area of the land use change, and 93.92 and actually the lower five acres of 95 already have the transportation land use.

556
00:41:39,220 --> 00:41:46,480
So, we are required under the deed restrictions and under the FAA regulations to be in compliance with our airport master plan.

557
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:52,380
The two parts of this master plan and there's many other pages, believe me, but these are the two we're going to talk about.

558
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:58,160
The one that has the argile like pattern shows what the permitted uses are within those areas.

559
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:07,320
So you can see that the entire area that we're changing the land use under is targeted for that dark blue and that argile, which is aviation and aviation support uses.

560
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:20,000
And then the entire area of all those ESLs is also within that area, except for area 92, which is, which what we call area 4, is within the golf course.

561
00:42:20,180 --> 00:42:24,860
Now that half of the golf course in light blue is still under the FAA aviation restrictions.

562
00:42:25,220 --> 00:42:30,000
Sometime in the future we may end up having to put FAA or aviation uses there.

563
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:35,740
It's not in this current land use, that light blue says it's going to stay as recreation for now.

564
00:42:35,740 --> 00:42:40,260
But again, those restrictions have not been listed lifted from that area.

565
00:42:40,780 --> 00:42:44,180
That area, all we're going to do in the short term is a runway visibility zone, which

566
00:42:44,180 --> 00:42:46,960
does require some clearing of vegetation in that area.

567
00:42:47,540 --> 00:42:50,860
But we still want that entire parcel taken off the ESL map.

568
00:42:51,580 --> 00:42:56,600
If you look at the other map that's kind of the opposite, the colored area on that map shows

569
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:01,040
what has been relieved from the restrictions for aviation use.

570
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:06,440
So everything in color on the right side diagram has been removed.

571
00:43:06,620 --> 00:43:12,240
So when the airport was dated in 1947, under the surplus property act, that whole

572
00:43:12,240 --> 00:43:14,960
thousand acres was under an aviation restriction.

573
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,020
We've now had 400 of that thousand acres released.

574
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:25,420
So we have a lot of community support of uses that really benefit the city because of this

575
00:43:25,420 --> 00:43:25,820
airport.

576
00:43:26,100 --> 00:43:31,020
And we are greatly appreciative of having the opportunity to have this airport and to have

577
00:43:31,020 --> 00:43:35,760
all these properties that have been released from these restrictions. And just to quickly go around

578
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:41,540
the horn clockwise, that's the city center mall that red is half a half of our golf course,

579
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:46,960
that yellow and between is our reclaimed water plant that serves the entire county by taking

580
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:51,440
some of the affluent from the Copeland's Road Waste Water Treatment Plant, keep it from going out

581
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:56,640
the ocean outfall, which is now going to be completely ended by the end of September of this year,

582
00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:04,800
January of this year, December of this year, the end of this year, no more ocean outfall.

583
00:44:05,540 --> 00:44:09,920
So we are actually expanding that plant and looking for another location for additional

584
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:14,880
storage tanks so that we can take more of the city's affluent or the county's affluent

585
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:19,340
to make sure that that ocean outfall doesn't cause a lot of disruption in terms of how

586
00:44:19,340 --> 00:44:20,620
we're going to get rid of all this wastewater.

587
00:44:20,620 --> 00:44:32,540
Going south, that's our community park, our aquatic center, our MLU community center, our aquatic facility.

588
00:44:33,620 --> 00:44:37,160
It's a tremendous city asset and we're so appreciative to have it.

589
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:44,580
Those, the purple and chartreuses, the Pompital High, which is also our Hurricane Shelter and Pompital Middle.

590
00:44:44,580 --> 00:44:48,040
As you move over toward the other west side,

591
00:44:48,660 --> 00:44:50,700
that's our award-winning youth sports park,

592
00:44:50,900 --> 00:44:53,160
which we were able to build just recently,

593
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,020
because we got that landeated to us by the Elx Club.

594
00:44:56,740 --> 00:44:59,420
And then the lighter green is our public works complex

595
00:44:59,420 --> 00:44:59,900
for our water.

596
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:07,000
Human Plan is where all our public work facilities are. So you can see that the 60% of this airport is left.

597
00:45:07,740 --> 00:45:17,100
We really need to respect that and build it out in accordance with the deed restrictions and be happy for what we have gotten as a result of this airport dedication.

598
00:45:19,060 --> 00:45:27,480
So as you probably know, airports are very attractive to wildlife, because whether they're in urban areas or rural areas,

599
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,640
They're wide expanses of open space.

600
00:45:31,140 --> 00:45:33,800
We have to keep them clear for their not obstructions

601
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,060
to aviation traffic.

602
00:45:35,820 --> 00:45:38,520
So wildlife is a hazard to all airports,

603
00:45:38,740 --> 00:45:40,940
and the FAA has an advisory circular,

604
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,560
that all airports follow on a regular basis.

605
00:45:43,780 --> 00:45:45,440
They do a wildlife hazard assessment

606
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,120
to make sure they're operating their airport in a way

607
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,040
that doesn't attract wildlife either

608
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,380
on the restricted area or at the vicinity

609
00:45:52,380 --> 00:45:54,620
of the restricted area in the flight pass.

610
00:45:54,620 --> 00:46:09,480
The last one we did it was in 2017, and it does recommend us taking these ESL's designations off these areas and gradually phasing out any wildlife attractions that are happening within those but it areas.

611
00:46:10,240 --> 00:46:24,400
Our natural resources assessment, we just did as a precursor to this activity and the natural resources assessment clearly shows that one of the criteria of the county to be at LAPC in the first place is the probability

612
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:28,640
of maintaining that facility. Given that this is an airport and it's

613
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:32,720
indeed restrictive for aviation use that probability is extremely low. We're

614
00:46:32,720 --> 00:46:37,180
not allowed to have as wildlife hazards on the airport so it's something

615
00:46:37,180 --> 00:46:42,920
that needs to be phased out. So we did take the county staff and they're

616
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:48,100
naturalists and they're plant experts out and to do a site visit they

617
00:46:48,100 --> 00:46:53,460
found some things in our ESL areas that they want to preserve. So what we're

618
00:46:53,460 --> 00:46:58,840
suggesting as they come in, they do seed retrievals and make plant cuttings or anything

619
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:04,320
they want to preserve, and they plant these in the two existing sand pine scrub habitats

620
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,620
and pomp and all which these total 58 acres.

621
00:47:08,220 --> 00:47:14,340
So these two habitats were purchased with a 1989 county bond issue, so they've been maintained

622
00:47:14,340 --> 00:47:20,000
and preserved for the last 35 years for wildlife habitat for sand pine scrub and anything

623
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:26,300
that we have in our un-maintained areas on our airpark that they would like to transplant

624
00:47:26,300 --> 00:47:27,700
into these preserves.

625
00:47:28,260 --> 00:47:33,340
We will definitely take time to allow that to happen before any activities happening within

626
00:47:33,340 --> 00:47:37,500
those areas that we're changing the land use and the ESL designations on.

627
00:47:38,900 --> 00:47:42,380
So this is probably the most important piece of your whole backup.

628
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:48,160
This is the letter we had the FAA right for us to really lay out their requirement so that

629
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:53,300
can be no discussion about whether this is optional in terms of having wildlife habitat

630
00:47:53,300 --> 00:47:54,180
on the airport.

631
00:47:55,180 --> 00:48:00,520
The key points in this letter is the FAA strongly opposes any encompasses on airport

632
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,540
property for ecological and conservation purposes.

633
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:14,660
The land use cannot promote attracting wildlife because it's considered a hazard to air navigation.

634
00:48:14,660 --> 00:48:21,280
The deed restrictions in the 1947 transfer of the city requires under the surplus property act that this property

635
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:25,000
used be used for aviation and aviation support purposes only.

636
00:48:26,220 --> 00:48:32,160
And all these years we've been accepting federal grants to do aviation development on our airport.

637
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:43,900
Those grants come with grant assurances that if we continue with these environmental restrictions on the use of that land that is found in conflict with those grant assurances.

638
00:48:43,900 --> 00:48:49,160
So that's another reason we're not allowed to keep these environmental designations on our airport.

639
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:56,640
So we are requesting a recommendation of approval from you today so that we can be in compliance with all the deed restrictions,

640
00:48:57,140 --> 00:49:05,320
the grant assurances, and the requirement to be responsible in terms of not attracting wildlife and heightened visibility hazards to the aviation operations.

641
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:12,140
And most importantly, to keep out of the next step of this if we aren't able to move forward,

642
00:49:12,340 --> 00:49:16,860
which the FAA comes in and does what we call a memorandum of understanding process,

643
00:49:17,140 --> 00:49:20,220
which we have gone through twice and we would like to avoid going through again.

644
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:27,120
The ultimate threat on that process is that they will rescind the airport back to federal control.

645
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:31,380
And we will no longer have a say in how the airport is run or managed.

646
00:49:32,100 --> 00:49:34,480
That's very important to us because right now,

647
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:40,320
We have a tenant in bits that we would really like to expand on our airport.

648
00:49:40,940 --> 00:49:46,240
Barrington Urban's Technical Training School is currently located in one of our hangers

649
00:49:46,240 --> 00:49:48,880
and personal why one of our newest developments.

650
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:56,280
They are doing their first cohort and I think I'll just play this little video and we'll

651
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,820
do this questions and then Barrington will talk a little bit more.

652
00:49:58,820 --> 00:50:01,700
Everybody is Dr. Laura, your teacher.

653
00:50:02,240 --> 00:50:04,240
You don't really hear about aviation.

654
00:50:05,220 --> 00:50:06,560
My name is Stephanie Williams

655
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,280
and I'm a student at Bits Pump Enough.

656
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,580
I've been in a program for eight weeks now

657
00:50:11,580 --> 00:50:13,600
and graduation is about eight weeks.

658
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:15,440
It has been great.

659
00:50:15,620 --> 00:50:17,220
This is new to me.

660
00:50:17,300 --> 00:50:20,220
I've been in a medical field for almost 13 years

661
00:50:20,220 --> 00:50:22,180
and you know, I was already thinking

662
00:50:22,180 --> 00:50:23,600
that I need something different.

663
00:50:23,780 --> 00:50:24,920
I'm not an office girl.

664
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:26,500
I like to be out.

665
00:50:26,660 --> 00:50:27,760
I like to work with my hands.

666
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:29,740
they give the opportunity to do something

667
00:50:29,740 --> 00:50:31,140
while like this.

668
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:35,520
Aviation has a broad horizon of so many different things

669
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:36,860
that you can think of.

670
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,540
My name is Shai Reed, and I'm a student at Bits.

671
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:40,880
It's been really cool.

672
00:50:41,140 --> 00:50:43,080
The flexibility and the hands-on aspect

673
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,380
of the program really is what I'm getting into this.

674
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:48,400
It's really nice to experience the fundamentals

675
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:49,940
of the aviation business.

676
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:52,100
One of the things I'm interested in is avionics,

677
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:53,720
and that's dealing with more electrical systems

678
00:50:53,720 --> 00:50:55,580
on the plane, so that's going to be really

679
00:50:55,580 --> 00:51:00,160
home and being able to work on the electrical systems and panels is really cool.

680
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:04,460
Throughout the program I've used a lot of these tools physically and it's helped me

681
00:51:04,460 --> 00:51:09,180
really learn it and not just look at it and visualize it, it's helped me really use it so I can

682
00:51:09,180 --> 00:51:16,640
use it in the aviation industry. The teachers are phenomenal. They are really dedicated and determined

683
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:21,960
to CS68. But since it's so interactive and my soul tight knit we're able to get through a

684
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:25,440
much of stuff, and quickly but still able to learn everything, would be perfectly.

685
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:30,580
Seeing that dedication really drives me to want to do push myself.

686
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,820
They're with us, they're patient with us.

687
00:51:32,820 --> 00:51:36,460
You can do anything you said your mind, so the sky is a limit.

688
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:44,080
So I'd like to have Berington come up and just talk to you for a little bit about his program.

689
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:54,660
What this whole ESL map amendment and land use plan amendment allows us to do is to put

690
00:51:54,660 --> 00:52:00,780
You utilize these new areas for development on the airport and we really want to support things like

691
00:52:00,780 --> 00:52:07,500
Barrington Irvings program, which does support not just aviation on the airport, but also the community as a whole.

692
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:15,640
Good morning, Chairman.

693
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:16,620
Council members.

694
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:20,340
Thank you all so much for considering this request.

695
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:22,540
My name is Captain Barrington Irving.

696
00:52:22,540 --> 00:52:27,000
It's actually great to be back in the space several years ago.

697
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:36,820
You all honored me after I did a historic flight around the world and I'm I'm grateful to be here to share with you the video that you just saw

698
00:52:37,240 --> 00:52:40,820
We decided to expand our workforce development

699
00:52:41,740 --> 00:52:45,740
Training into Broward because we're based in Miami

700
00:52:45,740 --> 00:52:53,800
But we've trained several candidates from Pomponode or Fort Lauderdale and so forth. They've been coming down to Miami to be trained

701
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:59,780
And I said, you know what, it makes sense at this point in time to expand the work directly

702
00:52:59,780 --> 00:53:01,240
within this county.

703
00:53:01,660 --> 00:53:08,440
And I'm very grateful to the City of Pompano for giving us an opportunity to establish

704
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:14,800
our training program, where basically what we do is we focus on the technical needs within

705
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:15,320
aviation.

706
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:22,340
Of course, I don't have to belabor some of the challenges we're facing in industry as it pertains

707
00:53:22,340 --> 00:53:28,840
safety and technicians and so forth. And I know aviation is a strong economic driver within

708
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:34,760
the county as well. What we do is we try to focus on those within a community, we kind

709
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:39,740
of call them the silent middle. So these are individuals who they might be in school, but don't

710
00:53:39,740 --> 00:53:52,320
know how to access industry. You might have individuals who simply exist in a community, they're

711
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:54,940
and they're looking for something different.

712
00:53:56,240 --> 00:53:58,620
So we've had tremendous success in doing this.

713
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,660
Our first core hoarding Miami, we had 17 students,

714
00:54:01,780 --> 00:54:03,740
15 graduating, got employed by industry,

715
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,580
second core hoard was 21, 20 of them graduated.

716
00:54:07,300 --> 00:54:08,480
And they're all employed right now.

717
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,500
We have a core hoarding Miami of 24.

718
00:54:12,180 --> 00:54:15,860
And here in Pompano, we have 12 candidates

719
00:54:15,860 --> 00:54:19,700
who they've already achieved over 160 micro credentials.

720
00:54:19,700 --> 00:54:24,440
You saw some of them featured in the film, and we're very proud of them.

721
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:28,060
Some of them already getting offers to be employed within the industry.

722
00:54:28,500 --> 00:54:33,240
Our whole goal in Target is to train up skill and empower these individuals.

723
00:54:34,340 --> 00:54:36,660
To be able to take advantage of these opportunities.

724
00:54:37,420 --> 00:54:42,700
Oftentimes, we hear people talking about career opportunities in various fields,

725
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:47,040
but the real challenge is how do you practically get there?

726
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:53,860
You know, the cost of tools, the cost of equipment, yes, we need more technical people, but how do we practically

727
00:54:55,460 --> 00:54:56,300
get them there?

728
00:54:56,340 --> 00:55:02,040
So this is a program where the training is provided for free to the candidates.

729
00:55:02,380 --> 00:55:04,960
And I say it again, it's provided for free to the candidates.

730
00:55:06,140 --> 00:55:09,100
And very grateful to the City of Pompano, given us opportunity.

731
00:55:09,240 --> 00:55:12,060
Of course, we want to expand the work here.

732
00:55:12,260 --> 00:55:14,900
And in order to expand the work, you need to have facilities.

733
00:55:14,900 --> 00:55:21,100
you need to have space, you need to have the ability to pull in the employers who will say,

734
00:55:21,380 --> 00:55:27,940
hey, I want to establish a maintenance repair facility at the airport and create this dynamic

735
00:55:27,940 --> 00:55:34,120
ecosystem that the candidates can be involved in. What we're finding is a lot of these employers are

736
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:40,280
saying to us, hey, we don't have the internal capacity to train, but if you can train specifically

737
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:44,500
to the competency and the proficiency.

738
00:55:44,900 --> 00:55:46,760
Yes, certifications are important.

739
00:55:47,420 --> 00:55:50,240
But what employers want is, hey, regardless

740
00:55:50,240 --> 00:55:52,960
of what the FAA wants and others want,

741
00:55:53,580 --> 00:55:56,740
as a company, this is what we specifically need.

742
00:55:56,980 --> 00:55:58,960
So if we're overhauling landing gear,

743
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:02,600
if we're overhauling engines or cleaning parts,

744
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,540
these are the competencies and proficiencies

745
00:56:05,540 --> 00:56:07,960
that we need and that's what we're trying to.

746
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:10,800
I'm very excited about this.

747
00:56:10,820 --> 00:56:15,700
I mean, we've been training these students for the past nine weeks now, and just a success

748
00:56:15,700 --> 00:56:19,760
that they're having, and we want to create more opportunities, but we need the space

749
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:20,880
to do it.

750
00:56:20,980 --> 00:56:26,900
And we know we want to do it in Pompano and expand the work, the Northern region of this

751
00:56:26,900 --> 00:56:27,460
county.

752
00:56:28,500 --> 00:56:32,640
When you look at airports like Pompano and Fort Laudadale, Executive for Laudadale in

753
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:40,080
National here we have industry saying we need people we need people but guess what right next door the people are there

754
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:46,720
So they just need to be trained upskilled and powered and I'm glad to be a part of it and I appreciate

755
00:56:47,380 --> 00:56:51,380
The head start the city of Pomp and know has given me excellent

756
00:56:51,380 --> 00:56:53,380
Thank you, Barenton. Thank you

757
00:56:54,480 --> 00:57:01,140
Okay, Ms. Blake Boy is one comment. I just want to make a couple of comments one on the land use change

758
00:57:01,140 --> 00:57:04,720
I just want to know, it's from recreation open space to transportation.

759
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,700
The site has never been used for recreation in open space.

760
00:57:07,780 --> 00:57:09,360
It is not on the city's tables.

761
00:57:09,420 --> 00:57:11,140
I think that's just an important nuance.

762
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:15,900
It's not removing anything from their, from their parks, acreage,

763
00:57:15,980 --> 00:57:17,860
so to speak, and it is in a secured area.

764
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,280
So I just wanted to highlight that.

765
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:24,920
And then since the city staff, since their presentation was on both applications,

766
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:30,460
I just wanted to add to my overview or staff's overview about every

767
00:57:30,460 --> 00:57:36,820
about item B and about the recommendation and how it's formatted.

768
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:44,880
And I think it's important to know that this land is publicly owned, it is subject to

769
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:49,040
this, the student restriction with the FAA and a really different sheets that's from other

770
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:53,800
natural resource map series amendments that we've seen or are going to see later on this meeting.

771
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:59,920
So, I just wanted to point that out that this is a very narrow recommendation of not

772
00:57:59,920 --> 00:58:04,260
objecting to this amendment due to these other factors.

773
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,780
So, I just wanted to call that to the forefront before you go to your discussion.

774
00:58:09,180 --> 00:58:09,460
Excellent.

775
00:58:09,700 --> 00:58:11,000
Thank you very much.

776
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:13,260
Mayor Ryan, I see your hand is up.

777
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:14,500
You have the floor.

778
00:58:15,540 --> 00:58:16,280
Thank you, Mr. Chair.

779
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:20,800
I have a series of predicate questions to make sure I understand this.

780
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:32,060
Did I understand that some portions of the property we're discussing were purchased with county bonds for park system?

781
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:34,180
They were not.

782
00:58:34,220 --> 00:58:36,420
No, that was not part of this property.

783
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:37,500
All right.

784
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:44,660
With respect to the FAA and the statement that they strongly object,

785
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:57,580
When was the first time the FAA strongly objected to having this area maintained as an environmentally-protected area?

786
00:58:58,860 --> 00:58:59,720
Mr. Dolan.

787
00:59:05,630 --> 00:59:10,430
Well, their first objection, I think, our first memorandum of understanding process was in 1992.

788
00:59:11,290 --> 00:59:17,110
However, they let this stand because we have so much property available on the south end of the airport.

789
00:59:17,110 --> 00:59:34,430
now that's fully built out. So we have no more land to lease. So when somebody calls us and says we want to locate on your airport and we say, oh sorry, we don't have any land available. That is when the FAA intervenes and says you need to make this land available.

790
00:59:36,210 --> 00:59:45,730
So I just want to make sure I understand thank you for that answer. It was my understanding that the FAA strongly objective because of the potential guy that picture is awful.

791
00:59:46,750 --> 00:59:53,410
Because of the potential for interaction of wildlife and aircraft, correct?

792
00:59:54,130 --> 00:59:59,970
No, they object for that reason as well, but it's because this deed restricted to aviation uses, and we can't put aviation uses.

793
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,000
Is there if there's trees there?

794
01:00:03,180 --> 01:00:08,380
Yeah, but the trees have been there for a long time and they didn't object previously. The current

795
01:00:08,990 --> 01:00:16,260
objection is centered around, I guess, the desire to develop or provide more aviation support

796
01:00:16,260 --> 01:00:22,020
in terms of industry, and there's just the first time that they're upending the additional objection

797
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:26,580
to the potential interference of wildlife with aviation.

798
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:32,960
No, that's a universal standard for all airports everywhere that wildlife is hazard to

799
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:33,820
aeronavigation.

800
01:00:34,060 --> 01:00:37,820
The reason that we're doing this now is because we don't have any more lands to develop

801
01:00:37,820 --> 01:00:41,980
our aviation uses so we have to clear these for aviation use.

802
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:42,640
I apologize.

803
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:44,620
It's probably how I ask the question.

804
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:51,680
I'm trying to understand, I get the general idea we see it at all airports about interference,

805
01:00:51,680 --> 01:01:03,400
But I'm trying to find out when did the FAA first specifically take exception to having open space that attracts wildlife at this particular location?

806
01:01:04,420 --> 01:01:09,120
Yeah, the first time we probably got that in writing was in the 1992 member and I'm a Bunderstanding

807
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:14,360
But they let that go, and so they've let that go for the past 33 years

808
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:20,060
Yes, if I understand correctly right cuz we had other aviation land available for development and now

809
01:01:20,060 --> 01:01:22,540
we don't, so now is the time we have to correct that.

810
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:25,480
Well, there are two different distinct issues here.

811
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:26,680
One, there's a development issue.

812
01:01:26,740 --> 01:01:28,280
Let's leave that aside for a second.

813
01:01:28,540 --> 01:01:31,700
I want to focus in on what has been raised

814
01:01:31,700 --> 01:01:33,680
as a safety issue to aviation,

815
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:36,580
and that is the potential interaction

816
01:01:36,580 --> 01:01:39,580
and interference of wildlife with aviation.

817
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:42,540
So I want to focus on that specifically.

818
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:48,520
Can we agree that if the FAA had concerns about that in 1992,

819
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:56,860
Over the last 33 years, they have not raised any substantial objection and request that that be changed.

820
01:01:58,100 --> 01:02:01,520
We have relocated some go for tortoises over the years.

821
01:02:02,020 --> 01:02:08,180
But as long as we had aviation use to land to use, we didn't get what they call a part 16 complaint,

822
01:02:08,380 --> 01:02:10,980
which is what triggers us having to remove these trees.

823
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:13,380
So that's why we haven't done it today.

824
01:02:13,380 --> 01:02:21,100
But the objection for the wildlife has always been a possible hazard, as was laid out in our recent 2017 hazard assessment.

825
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:24,240
I can't tell what's possible.

826
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:26,680
I want to be immediately specific and I apologize.

827
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:32,800
I need to understand and let's break it down.

828
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:38,580
Did the FAA complain about go for turtles and the potential interference with aviation?

829
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:44,160
I'm sorry.

830
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,900
a mayor harden wants to chime in here and we'll allow them to.

831
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:52,420
Yeah, I'm just going to try and try and address these kind of things on the standard operation

832
01:02:52,420 --> 01:02:54,540
of an air park or an air port.

833
01:02:54,980 --> 01:03:01,940
When there is a wildlife issue like that, it's incumbent upon the operator of the airport

834
01:03:01,940 --> 01:03:03,200
to take care of those problems.

835
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:04,360
That's what the city of Pomp.

836
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:06,360
So you're popping up each and runs this air park.

837
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:11,820
We've got our own air park managers, so yeah, when you know that there's a known issue

838
01:03:11,820 --> 01:03:15,680
with wildlife, you need to deal with that particular issue at that time.

839
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:23,580
The FAA overall discourages wildlife on air park properties because of the inherent danger

840
01:03:23,580 --> 01:03:31,360
between air traffic and wildlife, be it go for tortoises, birds, coyotes, you name it

841
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:31,960
alligators.

842
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:38,840
When you mix wildlife with aircraft, it's not a good idea, so eventually if something were

843
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:43,900
happen, an impact at the air park, that's when the FAA would probably walk in and say,

844
01:03:44,060 --> 01:03:50,060
okay, that's it, rip all those trees out. But really what's forcing this issue now for

845
01:03:50,060 --> 01:03:58,380
us is the fact that we are running out of aviation, developable land outside of these areas

846
01:03:58,380 --> 01:04:05,880
that have this landscape on them. So eventually, if someone comes to Pompano Beach and says,

847
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:08,720
as Mr. Olon pointed out, someone comes to pump on a beach and says,

848
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:12,920
I would like to develop some type of aviation use on your airpark,

849
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:17,520
as Mr. Irving has, and we tell them what we don't have anything

850
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:20,620
that you can develop because we've got these trees all over this.

851
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:25,260
They can then complain to the FAA, and the FAA will then say either you let them

852
01:04:25,260 --> 01:04:29,420
develop there, or we will take control of the airpark from you,

853
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:31,480
and then we will let them develop there.

854
01:04:31,500 --> 01:04:33,520
So that's kind of the overview there.

855
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:40,260
But I didn't want to address the wildlife issue. I'm not trying to step on Miss Dolan. She's quite capable of doing this

856
01:04:40,260 --> 01:04:45,480
But I just thought I just saw maybe there was a little disconnect there. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very hard. Go ahead.

857
01:04:45,540 --> 01:04:45,960
Hey Ryan.

858
01:04:47,300 --> 01:04:53,520
Thank you to my learned friend from Papua for assisting me. He doesn't address the question I have.

859
01:04:53,680 --> 01:05:03,180
I'm trying to understand the predicate. I appreciate the overview. I just want to clarify has the FAA to this point.

860
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:06,360
prior to the request for the development.

861
01:05:07,380 --> 01:05:14,020
Issue to specific complaint and we were talking about go-for-tources since that was raised about go-for-tortices.

862
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:16,440
I think that's just probably no.

863
01:05:16,580 --> 01:05:17,740
I just want to make sure I understand.

864
01:05:18,460 --> 01:05:20,280
I'm not aware of that.

865
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:21,780
Okay, all right, that's fair.

866
01:05:21,820 --> 01:05:22,600
Thank you.

867
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:33,000
And to this point has the FAA requested the city pop and how to do something with the lands we're talking about.

868
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:40,320
any other lands because of interference with wildlife. Since 1947, have they requested any

869
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:46,660
of the land to be developed for aviation because of fears or complaints of interference

870
01:05:46,660 --> 01:05:50,080
of wildlife with the airplanes. It's a specific complaint.

871
01:05:52,940 --> 01:05:55,820
No. That's very important.

872
01:05:55,820 --> 01:06:01,280
It just helps me understand where we are and Mayer Harden's summary helps to clarify so everyone

873
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:04,100
Can't understand the risk.

874
01:06:04,980 --> 01:06:13,380
There was a statement regarding one impact if we don't approve this and it isn't allowed.

875
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:19,660
Was that the FAA if I understood correctly, could take over the airport that I understand that correctly?

876
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:20,740
That's correct.

877
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:28,760
Okay. Help me to understand where that is in the backup. I reviewed the FAA correspondence

878
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:34,880
and the emails from April and May. I didn't see that specifically, but I admit I may

879
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:40,200
even oversight on my part. Mr. Warren. Yeah. No, they did not include that in their letter.

880
01:06:40,500 --> 01:06:46,680
That is in the deed. It is part of the deed. Okay. And they certainly have not

881
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:49,640
besides that since 1947, but the point being now

882
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:51,700
that this has been raised, I get it,

883
01:06:51,700 --> 01:06:53,620
I take the position from City of Pompino,

884
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:58,220
is that if it's not approved, this is maybe speculative

885
01:06:58,220 --> 01:07:01,900
or at least a potential that the FAA could take it over.

886
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:04,600
I think there is precedent that they have done

887
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:06,300
exactly that, that they have come to do that.

888
01:07:06,300 --> 01:07:07,460
I just want to understand the Pompino,

889
01:07:07,620 --> 01:07:08,940
I'm not saying they haven't done it in the past.

890
01:07:09,660 --> 01:07:11,220
I just want to be clarify,

891
01:07:11,980 --> 01:07:14,600
because there's going to be some public interest in this.

892
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:15,940
So some of my questions are trying

893
01:07:15,940 --> 01:07:20,240
make sure I understand what's happened here, and I'll give it a second.

894
01:07:21,140 --> 01:07:22,320
Do you have answers to that question?

895
01:07:23,780 --> 01:07:25,460
We still have control of the airport.

896
01:07:25,500 --> 01:07:27,640
It has not been rescinded to the AA.

897
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:28,680
Okay.

898
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:34,800
And at least to this point, there's not been a specific correspondence threatening to do such

899
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:37,420
if we don't approve this.

900
01:07:37,580 --> 01:07:37,980
Correct.

901
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:39,300
Okay.

902
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:43,640
Now, I read the back of it, let me sure I understand this as well.

903
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:49,080
were there are two Broward County departments who objected to this item.

904
01:07:50,180 --> 01:07:51,480
This is Blake Boyd.

905
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,000
Yes, that provided comments about us.

906
01:07:56,580 --> 01:07:56,800
All right.

907
01:07:56,840 --> 01:08:03,000
We've received an objection from Dr. Rado, the Chief Resilience Officer with the Broward

908
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:04,220
Resilient Varmel Department.

909
01:08:05,100 --> 01:08:11,700
What has been done to address the objections of the Resilience folks?

910
01:08:11,700 --> 01:08:13,200
It's not entirely.

911
01:08:13,300 --> 01:08:14,220
It's not interesting.

912
01:08:14,460 --> 01:08:14,680
Wow.

913
01:08:14,940 --> 01:08:18,180
It's more about water tables and other relationships.

914
01:08:18,820 --> 01:08:20,300
Let me answer that question.

915
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:21,900
Ms. Boy answer that question.

916
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:22,520
I didn't.

917
01:08:22,580 --> 01:08:24,900
First of all, I did not see that as an objection, but Ms.

918
01:08:25,020 --> 01:08:26,560
Ms. Boy please respond to that.

919
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:26,760
Right.

920
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:29,200
Well, let me.

921
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:30,000
Let me stay.

922
01:08:30,020 --> 01:08:31,360
I'm going to say we're clear.

923
01:08:31,500 --> 01:08:32,540
Mike, Mike, hold on one second.

924
01:08:32,780 --> 01:08:34,080
Ms. Boy, just respond to that.

925
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:36,480
So you have it in front of you to also.

926
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:37,580
I do.

927
01:08:37,740 --> 01:08:38,740
I want to just stay for the rocket.

928
01:08:38,780 --> 01:08:39,440
Let me do this.

929
01:08:39,440 --> 01:08:45,500
chair. Thank you for your patience with me. The county also strongly discourages those amendments

930
01:08:45,500 --> 01:08:49,800
which would place additional residential non-residential development at risk of flooding

931
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:54,060
and sea level. I want to make sure that all of that has been taken into consideration.

932
01:08:54,720 --> 01:09:09,420
And what can we talk about specifically what has been done to address the concerns of the

933
01:09:09,420 --> 01:09:14,440
that that comment was related more to a flooding potential but it was not it's not in the

934
01:09:14,440 --> 01:09:19,820
priority planning area for sea level rise. And I would I would also note that no one from

935
01:09:19,820 --> 01:09:25,540
County staff has come to to the meeting today that their comments stand. I didn't read her

936
01:09:25,540 --> 01:09:31,320
that specific comment and I also talked to the resilient environment department about that specific

937
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:41,880
comment that it's it's not a recommendation for for denial for that. So. Okay. And that's helpful.

938
01:09:42,220 --> 01:09:46,320
Okay. That's helpful. All right. Just to shortcut this so we can get to the other comments.

939
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:52,840
That's helpful. And it may simply be that what what I'll be requesting is just something from the resilience notes that they're not objecting.

940
01:09:52,840 --> 01:10:01,880
But there was simply raising the issue, maybe as a specular of our future issue, is that, is that a fair interpretation that might be just standard language?

941
01:10:01,980 --> 01:10:03,960
I think that that was standard language.

942
01:10:03,980 --> 01:10:10,820
I think the county staff is in a position to evaluate the policies and they're as the environmental staff.

943
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:17,360
That's why they discourage them, but they're not objecting to it in terms of that.

944
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:24,440
I don't know that we'll, I don't believe we'll get any additional comments from the staff regarding that.

945
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:26,380
All right.

946
01:10:26,700 --> 01:10:35,140
Then the second was from Mr. West, from the Broward County Parks and Recs, that objects to the removal of the environmental ESL designation.

947
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:36,440
I take it.

948
01:10:36,540 --> 01:10:41,940
There's been a number of mitigation steps offered to address those concerns.

949
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:42,640
Is that correct?

950
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:44,840
Yes, that's correct.

951
01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:50,800
All right. Can you just simply outline for us once again so we can understand all of

952
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:56,960
the mitigation efforts that are being taken to address what the Broward County has

953
01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:59,860
raised related to the ESL and the Florida natural areas?

954
01:11:00,860 --> 01:11:05,080
So the Broward County we have offered that they can come in and take cuttings and seed collections

955
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:09,720
for any plants that they'd like to re-establish and their two preserves in Pompano.

956
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:12,960
And with respect to wildlife?

957
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:15,020
The what?

958
01:11:15,340 --> 01:11:16,300
Do you go ahead?

959
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:16,740
Yeah.

960
01:11:16,860 --> 01:11:20,080
The only wildlife that will be relocated are the go for tortoises.

961
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:24,990
The burrowing owls are in a totally different location and they're fine to stay where they are.

962
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:39,800
The trees will be mitigated based on pump on beaches, tree mitigation requirements along the ab order of the airport where we have a walking path that goes all the way around the airport.

963
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:44,260
We've already done this three negation along fifth, which is beautiful, especially this time

964
01:11:44,260 --> 01:11:48,000
year, without the trees or blooming, so if you want to drive up and out fifth, you'll

965
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:52,720
can see how lovely it is, and we will consider that, continue that effort along Copen's

966
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:53,340
Anthem.

967
01:11:55,220 --> 01:12:01,620
But my last question just because of concerns about the FAA, meddling in local designations,

968
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:07,860
had there been any concerns about the open space that represents the golf course around

969
01:12:07,860 --> 01:12:18,220
airport, and it's, since they feel that open spaces and trees attract wildlife. I can tell

970
01:12:18,220 --> 01:12:24,400
you having played golf there, they should be more concerned perhaps about my golf balls. Since

971
01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:29,640
the safest area on the course, it's either the green or the fairway. But leaving that aside

972
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:36,320
has the FAA raised any concerns about the significant open space right around the airport for

973
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:39,780
attraction of wildlife as it relates to the golf course?

974
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:48,340
Yes, actually, in our wildlife assessment, the most scary facility on our airport is the

975
01:12:48,340 --> 01:12:50,700
pond on the golf course where did the end of that runway?

976
01:12:51,060 --> 01:12:54,620
So that was brought up as a possible fucking bird attraction.

977
01:12:55,460 --> 01:13:01,220
So some netting was placed over that to distract any, you know, keeping any bird attractions

978
01:13:01,220 --> 01:13:01,960
from that area.

979
01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:04,220
so that when they do a wildlife assessment,

980
01:13:04,420 --> 01:13:07,860
it goes out five miles around the airport.

981
01:13:08,020 --> 01:13:11,020
So even the dump that has the flocking birds

982
01:13:11,020 --> 01:13:12,080
is part of that assessment.

983
01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:14,100
So it's not restricted to airport property.

984
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:16,360
No, that's very innocent.

985
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:18,800
But other than the pond, which probably

986
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:21,620
has attracted a lot of golf balls as well,

987
01:13:21,900 --> 01:13:22,800
they're then the pond.

988
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:24,080
They raised any of the Jeffs.

989
01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:27,660
Do you know anything concerns that the FAA could take this

990
01:13:27,660 --> 01:13:30,020
press in our bus saying, hey, we're concerned about enough.

991
01:13:30,140 --> 01:13:31,240
We don't want you to take over.

992
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:34,780
that they would somehow interfere with the operation or the golf course any further.

993
01:13:35,780 --> 01:13:40,320
Half of that golf course is still deed restriction restricted to aviation use.

994
01:13:40,460 --> 01:13:45,320
So at any time the FAA could come in and require us to develop that in aviation uses.

995
01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:46,240
Okay.

996
01:13:46,660 --> 01:13:47,180
Thank you.

997
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:48,440
That's all the questions I have.

998
01:13:48,740 --> 01:13:49,420
Thank you, Mayor.

999
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:50,660
Mayor Levy.

1000
01:13:51,380 --> 01:14:00,160
Yeah, just I can appreciate the application and its forward-looking step into its intent with regards to the airport and the airport.

1001
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:01,880
and what's been described through the application.

1002
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:05,600
So I'm moved to approve item 3A and B.

1003
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:10,760
Do we, um, Ms. Blake Boyd, do we need it since we broke these out?

1004
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:14,540
Can we make one motion for 3A and 3B or do you want two separate motions?

1005
01:14:15,180 --> 01:14:15,460
Okay.

1006
01:14:15,580 --> 01:14:18,880
We have a motion to approve 3A and a 3B from Mayor Levy.

1007
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:20,840
We have a second from Mayor Gomez.

1008
01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:22,820
Mayor Gomez is her hand up for more discussion.

1009
01:14:23,340 --> 01:14:25,000
No, that was just for the second.

1010
01:14:26,260 --> 01:14:27,700
Any further discussion on these items?

1011
01:14:31,620 --> 01:14:35,620
I think the doctor's even has his hand on him and I see it. There you go. Now they put you

1012
01:14:35,620 --> 01:14:39,200
Don't watch not electronically. I wouldn't know.

1013
01:14:40,700 --> 01:14:45,100
Well, I was going to say that I'm very proud that someone mistaken me for Mayor Ryan, but

1014
01:14:45,100 --> 01:14:48,180
I'm not even going to go there now since I heard about his golf king.

1015
01:14:49,340 --> 01:14:52,540
Three A is the application for dingy beach am I right?

1016
01:14:52,860 --> 01:14:57,360
No, no, no, two. No, three A and three B are both the Pompano airpark.

1017
01:14:58,140 --> 01:14:59,980
Three A is the land use change and three

1018
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:04,020
MPB is the natural resource map series change for Pompano Beach.

1019
01:15:04,220 --> 01:15:11,100
And for the record, the motion would be to recommend approval of both the land use plan, amendment, and the

1020
01:15:11,100 --> 01:15:11,440
map change.

1021
01:15:11,900 --> 01:15:12,720
Thank you, Andy.

1022
01:15:13,780 --> 01:15:14,100
Terrific.

1023
01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:15,820
Then I'd like to second that motion.

1024
01:15:15,980 --> 01:15:17,080
If no one has yet.

1025
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:18,240
It's hard to be second.

1026
01:15:18,660 --> 01:15:22,580
So is there further discussion on this item? All those in favor please signify by saying aye.

1027
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:23,500
Aye.

1028
01:15:24,220 --> 01:15:24,360
Aye.

1029
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:24,940
Any opposed?

1030
01:15:27,890 --> 01:15:28,850
Motion passes unanimously.

1031
01:15:29,150 --> 01:15:30,170
Thank you very much.

1032
01:15:30,990 --> 01:15:31,450
Thank you.

1033
01:15:31,450 --> 01:15:38,210
Thank you. Thank you all for taking that out of order. I appreciate that. But Mayor couldn't. Our commission can you stay for.

1034
01:15:39,370 --> 01:15:46,150
Thank you. Item two, also a natural resource map series item. This is for site 97.

1035
01:15:46,670 --> 01:15:49,370
Locating the city of dingu beach. You have the map there.

1036
01:15:49,590 --> 01:15:56,470
Friend of you, the yellow area is the proposed removal from the environmentally sensitive lands map.

1037
01:15:56,470 --> 01:16:01,370
The proposed application is to remove three-and-a-half acres within the city of D&D Beach.

1038
01:16:01,390 --> 01:16:05,870
The city of D&D Beach has provided correspondence that they do not object to the proposed amendment.

1039
01:16:05,870 --> 01:16:10,910
That's attachment to in your materials. You can see that the three-and-a-half acres

1040
01:16:10,910 --> 01:16:19,270
is part of a larger 21 acre ESL and then also part of a larger 160 acre area wetland

1041
01:16:19,270 --> 01:16:25,330
and Biberd County that surrounds it to the east and to the south.

1042
01:16:27,550 --> 01:16:32,610
The county review agencies are been planning resilient environment and environmental

1043
01:16:32,610 --> 01:16:37,990
permitting, do not support the proposed amendment and refine the site as hydrologically

1044
01:16:37,990 --> 01:16:42,110
and tidally connected to the surrounding wetlands and the Dania Cutoff Canal.

1045
01:16:43,070 --> 01:16:47,190
It is in with it, it is within a priority planning area where flooding and stormwater

1046
01:16:47,190 --> 01:16:53,270
management are a concern. It provides nursery, reading, forging, and refuge within its mature,

1047
01:16:53,390 --> 01:16:59,790
red, and black mengrove habitat. Those comments and their agency responses are all included

1048
01:16:59,790 --> 01:17:06,730
in your backup in the attachment 3, 4, 5, 10, and 11. The applicant has also submitted responses

1049
01:17:06,730 --> 01:17:14,230
to the review agency comments and that's included in several attachments in your backup and has

1050
01:17:14,230 --> 01:17:20,650
indicated that the eastern most, so it's divided by the red line here, here it is isolated.

1051
01:17:21,150 --> 01:17:28,890
This piece will be a conservation easement, so that's part of their application, and then

1052
01:17:28,890 --> 01:17:35,130
in addition they will be purchasing credits through the Everglades mitigation bank 1.24 acres

1053
01:17:35,130 --> 01:17:35,990
of credits.

1054
01:17:35,990 --> 01:17:44,470
Planning Council staff is not supporting the proposed amendment to remove the three and

1055
01:17:44,470 --> 01:17:48,990
half acres of the 21 acre environmentally sensitive land, Site-97.

1056
01:17:50,170 --> 01:17:55,930
I would add to that recommendation that there was going to be likely an extensive discussion

1057
01:17:55,930 --> 01:18:03,670
this morning, and staff would just say that the eastern most the conservation easement piece,

1058
01:18:03,670 --> 01:18:09,310
Any, we would ask for you to consider that peace remaining on the environment and the sensitive

1059
01:18:09,310 --> 01:18:17,930
landscape if you are inclined to recommend the removal of the western piece from the map.

1060
01:18:18,450 --> 01:18:20,150
And I think that does a couple of things.

1061
01:18:20,410 --> 01:18:22,430
It shows the continuity of the area.

1062
01:18:23,390 --> 01:18:26,650
Once we remove that, it shows it as two separate areas.

1063
01:18:27,330 --> 01:18:33,130
Can we go to the map where we just show that, so, the map that shows the ownership

1064
01:18:33,130 --> 01:18:38,090
Thank you. So what I just, this map is interesting just to show a couple of things.

1065
01:18:38,190 --> 01:18:42,850
Here's the northern part of the property. The red area on the west.

1066
01:18:43,670 --> 01:18:47,710
That's a private, privately committed to easement and conservation,

1067
01:18:48,090 --> 01:18:51,990
a mangrove area as are the bright green and the turquoise area.

1068
01:18:52,130 --> 01:18:54,230
Privately held but committed to saving,

1069
01:18:54,910 --> 01:18:56,530
rebanding as conservation easements.

1070
01:18:56,970 --> 01:18:59,270
Everything in purple is owned by Broward County.

1071
01:18:59,270 --> 01:19:05,270
So that's just to the south of that to the immediate north and south of this site.

1072
01:19:05,790 --> 01:19:11,770
So it is surrounded that site has been functioning as a conservation easement and conservation

1073
01:19:11,770 --> 01:19:12,390
area.

1074
01:19:12,510 --> 01:19:16,210
So I just wanted to show you that map of the ownership.

1075
01:19:16,990 --> 01:19:25,470
The applicant at Stacker has a brief presentation to make and he's coming forward if that's

1076
01:19:25,470 --> 01:19:25,630
okay.

1077
01:19:25,630 --> 01:19:25,990
Absolutely.

1078
01:19:26,010 --> 01:19:26,630
Mr. Stacker.

1079
01:19:27,150 --> 01:19:30,090
And Mr. Schippell, are you going to be participating at the same time?

1080
01:19:31,150 --> 01:19:32,090
I'll defer it in.

1081
01:19:32,130 --> 01:19:33,330
Okay. Sorry.

1082
01:19:33,330 --> 01:19:35,590
Sorry. Tyler Schippell and Ed Sacker.

1083
01:19:36,430 --> 01:19:37,030
Mr. Schippell.

1084
01:19:37,410 --> 01:19:38,250
Thank you.

1085
01:19:38,710 --> 01:19:39,230
Good morning.

1086
01:19:39,350 --> 01:19:40,130
Good morning.

1087
01:19:40,490 --> 01:19:44,650
Mr. Chairman, Vice Chair, mayors, members.

1088
01:19:45,990 --> 01:19:46,810
Glad to be here.

1089
01:19:46,970 --> 01:19:48,370
Thank you very much.

1090
01:19:48,950 --> 01:19:52,510
Andy cautioned me that it's dangerous to hand the dinosaur.

1091
01:19:55,390 --> 01:20:02,510
I don't even know what to call it, but so there's an example, but I'm going to try to

1092
01:20:03,110 --> 01:20:08,170
get into a little bit of this in detail and then I'm going to defer to Tyler Schappelle

1093
01:20:08,170 --> 01:20:22,490
with the Chappelle group who has been involved in this for a couple of years now in the

1094
01:20:22,490 --> 01:20:34,710
of 1450 LLC is here, also Tyler and Gabe Dittina from the Chappelle group, and Shoranda

1095
01:20:35,330 --> 01:20:39,230
Placid from Rubin Turnbull is here as well.

1096
01:20:39,830 --> 01:20:48,030
We're happy to answer any questions that you may like, but as Barbara said, this is a five-acre

1097
01:20:48,030 --> 01:20:58,970
site. This isn't the slide that's in your back, back up materials. It's the whole five

1098
01:20:58,970 --> 01:21:05,530
acres is colored there and you can see that the eastern two thirds, three and a half

1099
01:21:05,530 --> 01:21:14,470
acres approximately is included within the overall 21 acre site 97 ESL.

1100
01:21:15,910 --> 01:21:18,870
That, let's see, there we go.

1101
01:21:19,430 --> 01:21:27,850
I want to go back to 1989, and this is when the maps were first pulled together, the environmental

1102
01:21:27,850 --> 01:21:34,330
coalition of Broward County surveyed the county and identified hundreds of parcels, and

1103
01:21:34,330 --> 01:21:40,010
they were went through an extensive public hearing process and designated many properties

1104
01:21:40,010 --> 01:21:47,610
as environmentally sensitive lands, local areas of particular concern, and in our

1105
01:21:47,610 --> 01:21:55,530
days, and what has occurred in this area since 1989?

1106
01:21:56,950 --> 01:22:07,160
Virtually nothing except that the county eight years after the adoption of the map,

1107
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:16,180
The county acquired the property immediately to the north that part of the ESL.

1108
01:22:16,460 --> 01:22:26,380
I mean, part of the local area of particular concern, they acquired the property on the east and the property on the south.

1109
01:22:26,380 --> 01:22:34,940
So, this five acres is surrounded on three sides by Broward County and development along

1110
01:22:34,940 --> 01:22:39,720
northeast 7th Avenue in Dania Beach to the West.

1111
01:22:42,440 --> 01:22:45,020
Why wasn't this partial purchased?

1112
01:22:45,180 --> 01:22:46,400
Retortical question.

1113
01:22:46,700 --> 01:22:47,700
I don't know the answer.

1114
01:22:48,700 --> 01:22:56,160
I will tell you that the property on the east and the south was part of a $120 million acquisition

1115
01:22:56,160 --> 01:23:07,340
from the SWORDLOW companies at the time and it obviously included land all the way down to the

1116
01:23:07,340 --> 01:23:13,000
Dainy Cut-Off Canal. I think that was for purposes of the expansion of the Southern

1117
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:14,820
Runway at the time.

1118
01:23:18,890 --> 01:23:24,370
If you could focus in on this parcel, I think in your backup materials,

1119
01:23:24,370 --> 01:23:35,210
you can see that there is a man-made pond. It was dug for fill, and I went all the way back

1120
01:23:35,210 --> 01:23:42,330
for to the areas on the property of Fraser's website. They only go back to 98, and it looks like

1121
01:23:42,330 --> 01:23:50,910
that was dug back then. So it was a disturbed piece. Is that a reason why it may have not been purchased?

1122
01:23:50,910 --> 01:23:53,570
I'm not sure. I just don't know.

1123
01:23:55,950 --> 01:24:05,990
I want to go to back to this slide because this is the

1124
01:24:09,190 --> 01:24:16,570
identifying parcel as provided to us from the county before we submitted our application.

1125
01:24:16,570 --> 01:24:25,870
This is showing 2.39s with some of our property on the east and some of our property on the west.

1126
01:24:26,830 --> 01:24:31,470
And that actual graphic was submitted with our application.

1127
01:24:32,630 --> 01:24:39,070
After your staff turned it over to the county staff, the county staff came back and said,

1128
01:24:39,070 --> 01:24:49,870
Now that's not it, it's this, and this is difficult to read, but I will tell you that the

1129
01:24:49,870 --> 01:25:03,610
yellow portion, in this graphic, site 97, stops at a blue line about two-thirds of the

1130
01:25:04,970 --> 01:25:09,170
eastern portion, but not some of the southern.

1131
01:25:10,190 --> 01:25:20,750
So the reason I'm pointing this out is that when you are a property owner who does due diligence

1132
01:25:20,750 --> 01:25:29,250
And they acquired this parcel in 2019 from Nova-South Eastern University.

1133
01:25:30,590 --> 01:25:38,090
The land use is commerce from the Broward County and employment sitter in Dane Yubic.

1134
01:25:38,490 --> 01:25:45,590
The zoning is general industrial in Dane Yubic and they bought the piece and they've been

1135
01:25:45,590 --> 01:25:54,630
working with consultants, since that time, trying to get approvals, as you all know, a

1136
01:25:54,630 --> 01:26:01,770
plaque is a prerequisite to the issuance of a building permit, and this property was

1137
01:26:01,770 --> 01:26:06,630
unplatted and is going through that plot process as well.

1138
01:26:07,650 --> 01:26:12,110
I got the development review report from the county.

1139
01:26:13,030 --> 01:26:15,590
It's dated March 31st of this year.

1140
01:26:15,670 --> 01:26:18,710
And I don't have it on the slide, but I just want

1141
01:26:18,710 --> 01:26:24,430
to read to you the short recommendation of the county

1142
01:26:24,430 --> 01:26:28,890
urban planning division is denial of the plan.

1143
01:26:29,010 --> 01:26:33,210
Until the site is removed from the ESL map,

1144
01:26:33,210 --> 01:26:40,930
the state of Florida chapter 163 amendment process and all licenses and permits are obtained.

1145
01:26:43,170 --> 01:26:46,490
Quince, eventually, that's what we applied for last year.

1146
01:26:46,750 --> 01:26:54,880
Was an amendment to the map asking you all to remove that 3.5 acre portion of the 21 acre

1147
01:26:54,880 --> 01:27:03,920
for LAPC. So we could move forward in the environmental permitting process without people

1148
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:12,940
dandling this LAPC label over our heads because it is precluding our ability to develop

1149
01:27:12,940 --> 01:27:19,340
this site. And I told a couple of you all when I talked briefly that if I had 30 seconds

1150
01:27:19,340 --> 01:27:26,660
to make my presentation, I would point to the city of Dania Beach's letter and ask you all

1151
01:27:26,660 --> 01:27:32,200
to consider deferring to their position, and their position is that they have no objection

1152
01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:39,040
as Barbara pointed out to this amendment, as long as the applicant proceeds through the environmental

1153
01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:47,740
permitting process and obtains the necessary permits. We're asking you to balance the

1154
01:27:47,740 --> 01:27:58,880
The benefit of preserving a small amount of degraded mangroves versus the benefit of economic

1155
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:04,980
development in close proximity to the port and the airport and in that corridor where

1156
01:28:04,980 --> 01:28:09,420
there are not a significant amount of lands remaining to be developed.

1157
01:28:10,260 --> 01:28:17,040
And we're asking you to do this by removing the label and not compromising any environmental

1158
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:18,360
permanent requirement.

1159
01:28:19,080 --> 01:28:24,140
And now it's probably a good segue to let Tyler come up briefly and I may come up at the

1160
01:28:24,140 --> 01:28:27,720
end and do a quick summary and answer any questions.

1161
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:29,240
Thank you.

1162
01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:30,560
Mr. Schuppell.

1163
01:28:31,160 --> 01:28:32,400
Thank you, Tyler Schuppell.

1164
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:37,060
Just a brief history on the project as I mentioned.

1165
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:43,100
We've been working with the agencies for the last five years to come up with a balanced

1166
01:28:43,100 --> 01:28:48,760
approach and compromise on how many mangroves are the areas that we could preserve versus

1167
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:55,300
what we could mitigate for and what we came up with was preserving the eastern portion

1168
01:28:55,300 --> 01:29:02,740
of the property where you have the most higher quality mangroves as well as it was in the

1169
01:29:02,740 --> 01:29:10,820
LAPC portion and then also the area on the western side which has already have been impacted

1170
01:29:10,820 --> 01:29:14,280
by previous fill and excavation of lakes.

1171
01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:17,680
That portion of the property is where we proposed

1172
01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:20,120
the development to be.

1173
01:29:20,660 --> 01:29:23,360
And then any additional impacts that we would have

1174
01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:27,260
would be mitigated offsite at Everglades mitigation banks.

1175
01:29:27,580 --> 01:29:30,220
So we preserved about 30% of the property.

1176
01:29:31,340 --> 01:29:34,660
And then the rest of it is either uplands or mitigating

1177
01:29:34,660 --> 01:29:37,140
for through EMB.

1178
01:29:37,140 --> 01:29:41,420
Those agencies are currently processing those applications.

1179
01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:47,200
We've had some delays due to the fact that the 404 program,

1180
01:29:47,400 --> 01:29:49,760
which is the federal program for authorization,

1181
01:29:50,480 --> 01:29:54,360
was delegated to the state under the first Trump administration with Governor

1182
01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:55,300
Santis.

1183
01:29:55,340 --> 01:29:59,840
It was then delegated back to the Army Corps during the Biden administration.

1184
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:16,820
And now, potentially going back to the state. So there was some delay in our authorizations, but those agencies at the state level, as well as the core level, are good with the amount of mitigation and the avoidance and minimization of the areas that we are proposing.

1185
01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:24,180
And as well as we have been discussing with Breard County on those mitigation requirements as well.

1186
01:30:24,180 --> 01:30:30,580
I would touch to on some of the backup regarding the severance or the connection of the

1187
01:30:30,580 --> 01:30:34,980
wetlands on this site to other surrounding wetlands.

1188
01:30:35,180 --> 01:30:39,440
There is an FPNL easement that runs to the south of this property.

1189
01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:45,960
There is a dirt road that FPNL uses for maintenance of their power lines, which does

1190
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:53,740
We have several connection to the northern 40 acres I believe of main roads from the southern portion.

1191
01:30:54,840 --> 01:30:58,220
And we are mitigating for secondary impacts off-site.

1192
01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:01,980
We're not just mitigating for the wetlands that are on site.

1193
01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:06,260
We're also mitigating for the main roads that are adjacent to the north and south.

1194
01:31:06,780 --> 01:31:11,100
But as far as the connection part of it, there will still be connection.

1195
01:31:11,280 --> 01:31:14,840
It does receive water during the extreme high tides.

1196
01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:27,260
We have seen that, we've gone out there to see if the water comes over the road, but it is not a direct connection and you can see some of the pictures of the lake that's on site and it has a significant red hue.

1197
01:31:27,580 --> 01:31:33,960
The reason for that is because it does not flush and it has high levels of bacteria and is not connected at all times.

1198
01:31:34,260 --> 01:31:38,580
So with that I'll go back to and answer any questions. Thank you, Mr. Schuppill.

1199
01:31:40,630 --> 01:31:41,210
Mr. Stich.

1200
01:31:41,210 --> 01:31:45,150
Thank you all very much again.

1201
01:31:45,550 --> 01:31:49,370
If you have questions, we welcome them at this point.

1202
01:31:50,510 --> 01:31:56,390
But we encourage you to support the city of Danielle Beach's position,

1203
01:31:57,370 --> 01:32:02,150
and obviously the applicant's position that will enable us to continue

1204
01:32:02,150 --> 01:32:11,190
through the environmental permitting process without having to

1205
01:32:11,190 --> 01:32:13,030
nation on the portion of the property.

1206
01:32:13,610 --> 01:32:16,330
If there were two parcels, another five acre parcel

1207
01:32:16,330 --> 01:32:20,530
with the same characteristics from a Habitat point

1208
01:32:20,530 --> 01:32:25,230
of view, Tyler would tell you that they would be treated

1209
01:32:25,230 --> 01:32:27,890
the same, and we're asking that you do that,

1210
01:32:28,150 --> 01:32:32,890
and enable us to do it so that the county doesn't say denial

1211
01:32:32,890 --> 01:32:37,610
of the plaque because it's designated as an LAPC.

1212
01:32:38,050 --> 01:32:38,810
Thank you.

1213
01:32:38,810 --> 01:32:39,650
Thank you, Mr. Stecker.

1214
01:32:39,650 --> 01:32:40,630
It's a great point.

1215
01:32:40,970 --> 01:32:42,690
Anything that before we open the floor for discussion.

1216
01:32:43,450 --> 01:32:44,070
Thank you.

1217
01:32:44,910 --> 01:32:44,950
Thank you.

1218
01:32:45,210 --> 01:32:46,450
Dr. Zeeeman, you wanted to decide.

1219
01:32:46,610 --> 01:32:46,830
I'm pulled.

1220
01:32:46,950 --> 01:32:47,990
I'll start with you.

1221
01:32:51,280 --> 01:32:52,240
Thanks so much, Chair.

1222
01:32:53,580 --> 01:32:55,220
I appreciate all this background.

1223
01:32:55,760 --> 01:32:57,980
Particularly Tyler should fell in his as usual.

1224
01:32:58,120 --> 01:33:00,560
Very cogent summary of this.

1225
01:33:01,220 --> 01:33:03,300
I'm curious though about a couple things.

1226
01:33:05,040 --> 01:33:08,160
I understand the first sentence in our item.

1227
01:33:08,160 --> 01:33:13,000
you know that the Howard Planning Council staff unable to support the proposed amendment.

1228
01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:23,160
I understand that and I'm curious about the removal or excuse me the retention of 1.29 acre conservation easement.

1229
01:33:24,760 --> 01:33:32,120
I'm curious how does this happen? Is this all part of today's item or are there other things that we need to do in addition to today?

1230
01:33:32,120 --> 01:33:33,540
Mr. Schuppel.

1231
01:33:36,020 --> 01:33:41,060
As far as the conservation easement area and the preservation of that area, that will be done

1232
01:33:41,060 --> 01:33:46,700
after a permit issuance, we will be required to record a conservation easement with

1233
01:33:46,700 --> 01:33:48,260
Barra County in the state.

1234
01:33:48,800 --> 01:33:54,440
The we come in part of the public record, that area will be preserved in perpetuity.

1235
01:33:54,920 --> 01:34:00,320
It would also be treated and maintained, we'll actually have to monitor that area for

1236
01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:02,580
five years as a requirement of the permits.

1237
01:34:02,580 --> 01:34:05,840
And then it would also have to be maintained removal

1238
01:34:05,840 --> 01:34:08,720
of exotics, that kind of thing perpetually.

1239
01:34:09,680 --> 01:34:13,820
So that's how that area is protected and codified

1240
01:34:13,820 --> 01:34:17,600
or legally bound with the development.

1241
01:34:18,340 --> 01:34:20,320
And then during construction, obviously, that area

1242
01:34:20,320 --> 01:34:23,780
will be segregated off and protected during construction.

1243
01:34:25,280 --> 01:34:25,720
Terrific.

1244
01:34:26,220 --> 01:34:30,840
And to our staff, how does this need

1245
01:34:30,840 --> 01:34:34,980
for establishing a conservation easement. Does it trigger a second public hearing?

1246
01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:37,640
It does not. It's a separate process.

1247
01:34:39,660 --> 01:34:44,900
Terrific. And maybe the Mr. Chipel again. How would you envision the

1248
01:34:44,900 --> 01:34:47,040
vehicular access to this three and a half acres?

1249
01:34:49,990 --> 01:34:52,410
The vehicular access is the way it's shown on

1250
01:34:52,410 --> 01:34:59,290
the site plan is coming from the west side of the property into the loading area. I don't know.

1251
01:34:59,290 --> 01:35:05,430
should be in the back up, but there is a the warehouse facility has entry coming in from the west side

1252
01:35:05,430 --> 01:35:06,350
of the property.

1253
01:35:07,630 --> 01:35:13,870
Just to, I'm sorry, Ed Stackard General quickly, the property owner has an access easement there

1254
01:35:13,870 --> 01:35:16,370
on the south, so I often ignore these seven things.

1255
01:35:18,050 --> 01:35:24,590
I appreciate that very much, Ed and Tyler, thank you for organizing this in a way that makes

1256
01:35:24,590 --> 01:35:32,910
that strike forward, sometimes these issues can be difficult, trading off ESL for economic

1257
01:35:32,910 --> 01:35:38,210
development, but I love the concurrence from the city of danger beach, and I love knowing

1258
01:35:38,210 --> 01:35:41,370
as much as we do about this land, so thank you very much, Chair.

1259
01:35:42,430 --> 01:35:43,810
Thank you, Dr. Doug, for doing this.

1260
01:35:43,810 --> 01:35:44,390
Mayor Gomez.

1261
01:35:45,990 --> 01:35:47,190
Good morning, I think so.

1262
01:35:48,170 --> 01:35:50,050
I just have one question for the applicant.

1263
01:35:50,050 --> 01:36:17,610
There was a request by the Planning Council Executive Director that if we were to move against their recommendation to not support this, but to keep it as the 1.9, 29, still remaining labeled as the, I'm always bad with acronyms, LPCA, LAPC, you know, me and half of us, how would that affect what you are doing?

1264
01:36:17,610 --> 01:36:20,350
Well, that's a good question, Mayor.

1265
01:36:20,490 --> 01:36:23,030
And I appreciate it.

1266
01:36:24,600 --> 01:36:28,600
My concern is what I got from the Black report,

1267
01:36:30,680 --> 01:36:32,100
that they're recommending denial

1268
01:36:32,100 --> 01:36:34,300
since the portion of the property is designated

1269
01:36:34,300 --> 01:36:36,340
in a local area of particular concern.

1270
01:36:38,800 --> 01:36:43,340
Our, they may modify that as it is evolved.

1271
01:36:44,140 --> 01:36:48,100
But there is nothing having dealt with conservation

1272
01:36:48,100 --> 01:36:53,460
these investments over the years, there's nothing more protective than a conservation

1273
01:36:53,460 --> 01:36:59,560
easement that would be placed on the property, voluntarily by the property owner, to restrict

1274
01:36:59,560 --> 01:37:00,780
the use.

1275
01:37:04,900 --> 01:37:10,480
And my preference would be to remove the entire, to recommend the removal of the

1276
01:37:10,480 --> 01:37:18,980
tire in light of left hand and right hand difficulty with respect to what is the effect of an

1277
01:37:18,980 --> 01:37:22,620
LAPC. Barbara may be able to vouch on that.

1278
01:37:22,620 --> 01:37:23,360
Ms. Blake Boy.

1279
01:37:26,480 --> 01:37:32,280
I was just talking to Andy about what planning counsel staff, you know, the request is.

1280
01:37:32,820 --> 01:37:36,280
And from our perspective, it's really for the continuity of the map.

1281
01:37:36,900 --> 01:37:42,200
We do have other conservation easements, but I don't want to speak at this meeting and then

1282
01:37:42,200 --> 01:37:46,660
to interrupt their process, we have other conservation easements that are associated with

1283
01:37:46,660 --> 01:37:54,460
ESL maps on the site, but to Mr. Stacker's point, maybe it's not the best idea, because

1284
01:37:54,460 --> 01:38:02,720
I mean, it really could, we have seen later in the process, I have a plot recently where

1285
01:38:02,720 --> 01:38:08,480
the environmental staff is like, oh, the size of change, this conservation easement, and we really

1286
01:38:08,480 --> 01:38:16,860
had an extensive back and forth, so while I like the graphic depiction of it, the conservation

1287
01:38:16,860 --> 01:38:25,760
easement is actually much better than the ESL or map requirements, because ESL map requirements,

1288
01:38:26,620 --> 01:38:31,820
there's a lot of these sites, there's several sites that are abandoned or not maintained

1289
01:38:31,820 --> 01:38:35,560
without if they don't have a conservation easement and they're not identified.

1290
01:38:35,560 --> 01:38:41,600
So basically remove the idea so go back to the original of if we want to support the support it as the whole conservation

1291
01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:47,160
Okay, the conservation isn't does the trick. So I apologize. I don't know if there was a motion on the table

1292
01:38:47,160 --> 01:38:53,460
There's not okay. I'd like to make a motion to sorry but go against staff recommendation and support the

1293
01:38:54,420 --> 01:38:56,240
removal of the L a

1294
01:38:56,240 --> 01:38:57,420
L P a C

1295
01:38:58,420 --> 01:39:01,420
L a P C

1296
01:39:02,280 --> 01:39:03,400
On this

1297
01:39:03,400 --> 01:39:08,520
We have a motion to approve the applicant application as submitted.

1298
01:39:09,740 --> 01:39:11,520
Is there further discussion on this item?

1299
01:39:11,540 --> 01:39:13,360
I have a question from Mr. Shappelle.

1300
01:39:13,520 --> 01:39:17,660
Question from Mr. Shappelle, from Council Member Horland, and we have Mayor Castillo.

1301
01:39:17,840 --> 01:39:19,120
Good morning, Mr. Shappelle.

1302
01:39:19,820 --> 01:39:24,360
I raised a couple of concerns during my meeting with Mr. Stacker, and I'd just like to as a layman.

1303
01:39:24,500 --> 01:39:26,360
I'd like to get your opinion on.

1304
01:39:27,020 --> 01:39:28,920
I was concerned about the title flow disruption.

1305
01:39:28,920 --> 01:39:31,980
and you explained about that FNL road there.

1306
01:39:32,240 --> 01:39:33,920
Now, does that looking in the report?

1307
01:39:34,380 --> 01:39:36,780
Does that only flood during high,

1308
01:39:37,460 --> 01:39:39,060
King Tide or any high tide?

1309
01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:42,940
Our experience being out there during King Tide.

1310
01:39:43,060 --> 01:39:44,320
So I can only speak to King Tide.

1311
01:39:44,320 --> 01:39:45,820
We weren't out there numerous days.

1312
01:39:45,820 --> 01:39:46,700
So we don't know about that.

1313
01:39:46,700 --> 01:39:46,860
So we don't know about that.

1314
01:39:46,860 --> 01:39:49,120
During a King Tide, we knew it would be potentially

1315
01:39:49,120 --> 01:39:49,920
going over the road.

1316
01:39:50,180 --> 01:39:50,340
OK.

1317
01:39:50,800 --> 01:39:53,160
And I did reference in my conversation with Mr. Stacker,

1318
01:39:54,080 --> 01:39:56,860
Dr. Horado just released the two-year resiliency plan

1319
01:39:56,860 --> 01:39:57,800
from Broward County.

1320
01:39:57,800 --> 01:40:05,920
As we know in 2023 we did experience that one in 1,000 year rain event, where we did see some disruption at the port,

1321
01:40:06,020 --> 01:40:07,620
some flooding there and at the airport.

1322
01:40:07,940 --> 01:40:12,580
So that is my overall concern with removing this designation.

1323
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:13,980
Can you speak to that?

1324
01:40:14,120 --> 01:40:14,720
Hydrologically?

1325
01:40:16,100 --> 01:40:16,300
Sure.

1326
01:40:16,540 --> 01:40:21,200
We have an engineer this working on the design for the drainage,

1327
01:40:21,760 --> 01:40:25,580
and the way it's designed currently is we have a retaining wall around the property.

1328
01:40:25,580 --> 01:40:33,220
As you can imagine, it's a significant elevation change from the development to, you know, what it is today.

1329
01:40:34,500 --> 01:40:41,620
So, with that in mind, to get the elevation up to a point where we won't have a flooding event at this property,

1330
01:40:42,720 --> 01:40:45,600
as far as storage in those adjacent wetlands.

1331
01:40:46,480 --> 01:40:54,540
There's nothing in their calculations that would state that this mangrove area is holding water

1332
01:40:54,540 --> 01:40:58,180
or is permitted to hold water for any of the adjacent properties.

1333
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:03,800
And again, this northern portion is not connected.

1334
01:41:05,640 --> 01:41:09,720
So, you will have a situation where eventually that area,

1335
01:41:10,300 --> 01:41:12,080
if it's a high, you know, king tide event,

1336
01:41:12,780 --> 01:41:16,360
that elevation is usually about a foot above mean high water.

1337
01:41:16,860 --> 01:41:19,940
So, if you had a rain event, it certainly would go over the road

1338
01:41:19,940 --> 01:41:21,580
then flood to the south to Denecota.

1339
01:41:21,580 --> 01:41:23,140
Okay, and I do...

1340
01:41:23,140 --> 01:41:35,120
There is structures, there is structures, there is structures, there is structures, south of this property, that direct flow to the ding you cut off for the port as well.

1341
01:41:35,400 --> 01:41:35,660
Thank you.

1342
01:41:35,740 --> 01:41:40,840
And last question, I understand there will have to be a substantial amount of fill brought in to elevate that property.

1343
01:41:41,020 --> 01:41:42,560
What about the impacts on the surrounding properties?

1344
01:41:43,420 --> 01:41:49,920
Right, so we are mitigating for secondary impacts for the adjacent properties to the north and south,

1345
01:41:49,920 --> 01:41:51,040
which are the county properties.

1346
01:41:51,680 --> 01:41:54,660
But again, the reason we are doing a retaining wall

1347
01:41:54,660 --> 01:41:56,820
is one for twofold.

1348
01:41:57,640 --> 01:42:00,120
Two, you don't have to impact as much wetlands

1349
01:42:00,120 --> 01:42:01,920
because you're going straight up and down

1350
01:42:01,920 --> 01:42:03,240
whereas a normal development,

1351
01:42:03,280 --> 01:42:05,880
you would just have like a sloping fill pad

1352
01:42:05,880 --> 01:42:07,400
that would be sawed and or whatever,

1353
01:42:07,560 --> 01:42:08,940
which would encroach even farther.

1354
01:42:09,640 --> 01:42:12,000
So this enables us to go straight up

1355
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:16,060
and let lessen our impact as well as the engineers

1356
01:42:16,780 --> 01:42:18,880
containing all the water that it would be associated

1357
01:42:18,880 --> 01:42:24,280
it with the development in and on site so that they have to do that.

1358
01:42:24,520 --> 01:42:25,680
Okay, thank you Mr. Spel.

1359
01:42:25,780 --> 01:42:27,100
Yeah. Thank you, Councilmember.

1360
01:42:27,840 --> 01:42:28,800
Mayor Castillo.

1361
01:42:30,040 --> 01:42:30,480
Mayor.

1362
01:42:31,140 --> 01:42:32,080
We need to wait for it.

1363
01:42:32,300 --> 01:42:34,220
Yeah, I just wanted to do one follow up.

1364
01:42:34,220 --> 01:42:34,320
Yes.

1365
01:42:34,320 --> 01:42:37,720
I appreciate the questions of Commissioner Orland and just for the record.

1366
01:42:37,900 --> 01:42:40,040
I had an extensive conversation with the whole team.

1367
01:42:40,260 --> 01:42:45,900
So that's why I did not ask certain questions, but just letting you know that my motion

1368
01:42:46,520 --> 01:42:47,480
wasn't uneducated.

1369
01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:51,480
I've never, for once, suspected that.

1370
01:42:52,080 --> 01:42:52,960
Thank you.

1371
01:42:52,960 --> 01:42:53,360
Thank you.

1372
01:42:53,540 --> 01:42:55,580
I also had contact with the applicant,

1373
01:42:55,820 --> 01:42:57,920
because I had many questions about this.

1374
01:42:59,480 --> 01:43:02,480
And I have to tell you, I wasn't quite sure how I would go.

1375
01:43:03,200 --> 01:43:04,980
Mr. Zachary, if you would come forward, please.

1376
01:43:08,610 --> 01:43:10,930
Because I want to be real, real clear about this.

1377
01:43:11,350 --> 01:43:15,030
So you're authorized to make voluntary commitments on behalf of your applicant?

1378
01:43:15,730 --> 01:43:21,150
Well, I have the authorized manager here, okay, today.

1379
01:43:21,590 --> 01:43:26,350
He may want to draw near because I want to make sure that I understand this.

1380
01:43:26,870 --> 01:43:32,290
So if the motion, which I seconded, because I understand the situation, is past I need

1381
01:43:32,290 --> 01:43:37,630
an absolute commitment that can be passed from this board to the County Commission, that

1382
01:43:37,630 --> 01:43:44,930
all environmental requirements will be fully and completely adhered to and satisfied.

1383
01:43:45,390 --> 01:43:49,270
Absolutely. I can say that on equivocally.

1384
01:43:51,620 --> 01:43:53,680
Okay. I have to tell you that the-

1385
01:43:53,680 --> 01:43:55,200
That was unambiguous, Mayor.

1386
01:43:56,000 --> 01:44:01,460
I want to make sure that we're clear because there's a big step that we're asking people

1387
01:44:01,460 --> 01:44:12,080
to take and based on that and the City of Dany is a commitment prepared to support it.

1388
01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:14,520
Does it need an amendment to the motion without any more?

1389
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:15,160
No.

1390
01:44:15,680 --> 01:44:16,920
It's on the record.

1391
01:44:17,460 --> 01:44:18,320
Commissioner Novel.

1392
01:44:18,940 --> 01:44:19,800
Thank you, Chair.

1393
01:44:21,360 --> 01:44:25,380
I also had conversations with Mr. Stacker and his team.

1394
01:44:25,380 --> 01:44:36,820
And thank you Commissioner Horlain for bringing that up and also to Mayor Castillo.

1395
01:44:37,660 --> 01:44:43,540
But I also, in addition to what Mayor Castillo said, I also want to just make sure

1396
01:44:43,540 --> 01:44:51,920
your plan to address flooding will be included in the final process like to the city to

1397
01:44:51,920 --> 01:44:53,800
show them how you're going to address the flooding.

1398
01:44:53,800 --> 01:44:59,140
we're going to adhere to all all stormwater and

1399
01:44:59,140 --> 01:44:59,960
Inverse.

1400
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:07,300
Criminal permitting requirements and that includes that. Yes. Okay, and making sure there's no runoff into the neighboring properties.

1401
01:45:07,560 --> 01:45:13,480
Right. Thank you. Thank you, Commissioner. I see you sit down. I'm too old to get up and down.

1402
01:45:14,860 --> 01:45:20,340
Well, you stand in just in case we have one more question, so you don't have to get up and down again. Mayor Ryan.

1403
01:45:21,340 --> 01:45:31,660
Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Mayor Castillo, for putting a fine point on this. It is rare

1404
01:45:32,220 --> 01:45:40,140
that I would not follow staff's recommendations in something as sensitive as this and

1405
01:45:40,140 --> 01:45:47,820
follow the reports and all the concerns that were raised. It is only because of the stated

1406
01:45:47,820 --> 01:46:01,600
commitment to comply and to fully comply with all of the environmental permitting and to follow the mitigation efforts that have been represented, that even allows me to support this.

1407
01:46:02,460 --> 01:46:16,800
And I appreciate the work of Michelle and Mr. Stacker in making those commitments. I hope it is not a vote I regret, but I think that they are committing to make sure all of those standards are met.

1408
01:46:16,800 --> 01:46:19,060
And, again, I thank Mayor Pistue.

1409
01:46:21,830 --> 01:46:23,850
Mayor Harden, thank you, Chair.

1410
01:46:25,610 --> 01:46:28,090
This is really from his Blake Boyd.

1411
01:46:28,610 --> 01:46:32,670
Do you know off the top of your head or just kind of have a feeling

1412
01:46:32,670 --> 01:46:38,990
for how many other sites of this type exist out there?

1413
01:46:39,690 --> 01:46:43,210
Because I actually, the reason for my question is I'm just kind of concerned.

1414
01:46:45,410 --> 01:46:50,990
I spoke with Mr. Stacker about this and he knows my my history with environmental issues.

1415
01:46:51,230 --> 01:46:55,610
I mean he was before it's once before and it didn't support it.

1416
01:46:56,150 --> 01:47:02,710
With these environmentally sensitive lands, but we're almost kind of like we're dying by a thousand cuts here.

1417
01:47:03,510 --> 01:47:04,710
So, Ms. Blake Boyd.

1418
01:47:06,430 --> 01:47:08,950
Yes, so we had gone through areas a couple of years ago.

1419
01:47:08,950 --> 01:47:14,290
There's a couple of dozen sites that are privately held that I think would be under similar circumstances.

1420
01:47:14,850 --> 01:47:20,130
And what the full council hasn't been privy to, just the steering committee members have had a discussion.

1421
01:47:20,750 --> 01:47:38,930
We've actually brought forward the kind of death by a thousand cuts concept of this

1422
01:47:38,930 --> 01:47:43,730
an updated process that is similar to the wetlands map process.

1423
01:47:44,510 --> 01:47:50,810
The map is still part of the county land use plan for planning purposes, but every piece

1424
01:47:50,810 --> 01:47:56,270
that we're talking about today would fall holistically under the licensing and permitting process

1425
01:47:56,270 --> 01:48:02,650
as it does with wetlands as opposed to having to come here for your consideration and recommendation

1426
01:48:02,650 --> 01:48:07,670
to the county commission for removal because it is very complex.

1427
01:48:07,670 --> 01:48:14,610
You have the county staff taking in the licenses prior to, now they're filing for a

1428
01:48:14,610 --> 01:48:18,430
National Resource Math Amendment part of the process.

1429
01:48:18,990 --> 01:48:24,610
That same staff that's taken in for the license and for the permit is now commenting on

1430
01:48:24,610 --> 01:48:30,690
the National Resource Math Series removal or modification and perhaps they're objecting to it,

1431
01:48:30,910 --> 01:48:34,310
but they're required to take in and have them comply with the licensing and permitting

1432
01:48:34,310 --> 01:48:39,390
the process. So it's just a disconnected process. And it's really,

1433
01:48:40,470 --> 01:48:44,990
since I've been with the Council on 2000, this is the second site.

1434
01:48:45,030 --> 01:48:47,690
And Mr. Stafford was the applicant for the last site.

1435
01:48:48,630 --> 01:48:57,150
Also, but I mean, we, we under, I think staff and county staff understand that it is a very complicated and disconnected,

1436
01:48:57,150 --> 01:49:03,810
disjointed process to ultimately get to the place where you are, it's the licensing and

1437
01:49:03,810 --> 01:49:08,350
permitting part that is assuring all of these things that you're talking about because being

1438
01:49:08,350 --> 01:49:12,830
on the map is not assuring that that's why I was kind of saying this conservation easement

1439
01:49:12,830 --> 01:49:19,370
is really better than just having a natural site that's not being maintained but is held by

1440
01:49:19,370 --> 01:49:26,090
a private property owner. Yeah, that's good. That's good. I mean, it's serious. It's like we're

1441
01:49:26,090 --> 01:49:31,330
anything away at a little by a little, where, I think everybody on the council is concerned

1442
01:49:31,330 --> 01:49:36,750
about environmental plans, but it's, well, okay, so yeah, I think the county needs to figure

1443
01:49:36,750 --> 01:49:38,290
out a different way to look at these parties.

1444
01:49:38,430 --> 01:49:43,030
And because that's in the forward, we have the policies that we have today, so that's kind

1445
01:49:43,030 --> 01:49:48,190
of where it's, well, we don't object to, wait, we do, we don't support it, right? Sorry,

1446
01:49:48,370 --> 01:49:54,510
it was not, it was not a denial, but we're not supporting it because we understand the environmental

1447
01:49:54,510 --> 01:49:59,190
sensitivity of these lands, but we also understand the disconnect of these processes, and we

1448
01:49:59,190 --> 01:50:02,510
will be trying to cure that.

1449
01:50:02,830 --> 01:50:07,530
Would you question the record, I want to say I feel strongly the way Mayor Ryan said what

1450
01:50:07,530 --> 01:50:12,250
Mayor Castillo and this she said, we're all saying basically the same thing we are very concerned,

1451
01:50:12,810 --> 01:50:16,670
but we have addresses or trying to address this through the steering committee to bring

1452
01:50:16,670 --> 01:50:21,190
back for this full board when it's appropriate to address these concerns.

1453
01:50:21,970 --> 01:50:29,470
