ITEMS BY THE MAYOR
AND COUNCIL
MAYOR MARTINO Mayor Martino reported on a letter received this week from the Lester A.
Dine Corporation re: reduction of the square footage by approximately
1,500 square feet in the proposed building in the PGA National CoTanerce
Park.
Rich Walton, Director of Planning and Zoning, stated the reasons for the
reduction in the size of the building is because they would have to
install sprinklers in the building. They do not want to sprinkler the
building because of the equipment and operation. If there was a malfunc-
tion with the sprinkler systems, it could destroy the equipment and film.
�t The building will be shifted from the south up and will be reducing 3 or 4
parking spaces.
Susan Sessa, representing Belini Equities Inc., William Glassgold,
Presioent, stated six families are being moved to South Florida and they
would like to get the building permit and the building built and settled

Council to place this item on the Regular Meeting Agenda of 4/19/90.

COUNCILWOMAN MONROE Councilwoman Monroe stated she would like to place a time limit on the
council meetings, especially workshops, and also allow reasonable time for
the public observations or input. Mayor Martino stated the City Council
needs to stop continuous and repetative dialogue on subjects the Planning
and 2—ing Department and the Planning and Zoning Commission has already
covered, and set policy and approve what is given to the Council.
Councilman Russo stated he agrees with Councilwoman Monroe in that the
Council needs to look at putting a time limit on the meetings.
Per a consensus of the City Council, this item will be scheduled for the
Regular Meeting of 4/19190.
UNCILMAN
SELEWSKI Councilman Kiselewski stated that with the passing of Don Vogel, we are
one member short on the advisory committee for the Land Development
Regulations, and suggested replacing Mr. Vogel as soon as possible. Rich
Walton stated at the next Planning and Zoning Ccmmission meeting he will
see if someone will volunteer.
Councilman Kiselewski stated he agreed with Vice Mayor Aldred's memo re:
Non -Resident. Participation in YAA program. Councilman Kiselewski
suggested breaking down the annual amount per user and not per family.

that within the confines of our own statistical information.
RESOLUTIONS
RESOLUTION 313, 1990 Rich Walton, Director of Planning and Zoning, addressed the City Council
re: Resoltuion 33, 1090. Mr. Walton stated Mr. Bentz has brought the ori-

ginal approved site plan to show the Council the area in question, and the
lots involved.
Mr. Walton stated the area in question is the southwest corner of the
site, with a canal coming in from the west. Mr. Walton stated, after
approval of the construction drawings, it was determined the canal exists
on Siena Oaks property, not in the easement. It was determined the west
bank line of the easement was 2' outside the back of existing units. At
that point, Mr. Lindahl decided he did not have adequate information on
surrounding units. Mr. Walton stated Mr. Lindahl is asking for a minimum
of 5' setback on Lots 33 - 40 of the Patio Homes, and Lots 239, 240, 257,
258, 259 of the Estate Homes.
® In response to Councilman Kiselewski, the City Manager stated the survey
was submitted to the owner of the property, but when he went to do the
fill work and the survey for the construction to lay out the lots, found
the canal had shifted to the East 3' to 4'. The City Manager stated the
reason for the lower elevation, the dropoff of about a 2 to 1 slope, goes
down to a maintenance berm which the City put in some years ago to keep
the canal maintained. The City Manager stated the City is now trying to
keep the cross-section so as to retain the same water retention, and keep
the 4' elevation.
Mayor Martino asked that in the Resolution, Attorney Brant specifically
reference the above mentioned lots.

ORDINANCES
ORDINANCE 4, 1990
Rich Walton, Director of Planning and Zoning, addressed the City Council
re. Ordinance 4, 1990, Enviornmentally Sensitive Land Ordinance, and
stated the Ordinance has been reviewed by the Planning and Zoning
Commission with a unanimous recommendation with concern that the enfor-
cement and penalties be upped. Mr. Walton stated he has met with
Councilman Kiselewski who had numerous comments, and spoke with Attorney
Brant as haw to incorporate them into the Ordinance. Attorney Brant
suggested since several were policy issues, they be brought before the
City Council. Mr. Walton stated the 6 issues outlined in his memorandum
of April 19, 1990 were the items to be discussed.
1. As to the exemption for single family residential lots, Attorney Brant
suggested i-corporating Section 5 with Section 6 and the exemption would
be "any lot of record as of this point and time is exempt".
2. Mr. Walton stated the issue is if the Council wants Staff to make the
determinations subject to the applicant having appeal right to the
Council. Mr. Walton stated the way it is now worded staff would decide
whether the person meets any of the items for Section 6.01. This relates
only to the vesting aspect. The Council asked that staff amend the
language to make It clear. Per a consensus of the City Council, 113 years
of this date" shall be inserted in the narrative of Section 6.01 before
the semi -talon.
®
3. Non -conforming Uses. Mr. Walton stated there is a policy in the
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING, 4/12/90

PAGE EIGHT
Comprehensive Plan that within 1 year the City will come up with a
program to either grandfather or eliminate them. Mr. Walton stated it
would be hard to accomplish preservation of environmental land without
Section 7. In response to Mayor Martina's statement about the annexation
of lands and people and not changing their use, Attorney Brant stated the
City should declare an internal grandfathering whatever the use was, but
that usage cannot be increased or expanded.
4. Open -Space Requirements. Mr. Walton stated the Staff was allowing up
to 50% of the required open space to be counted for the preservation area.
The City Council had no problems with this Section.
5. Enforcement and penalties. Attorney Brant stated the current code
calls for $250 per day and with any continuous violations, the board can
fine up to $500 per day. Attorney Brant stated that another approach is 3
for 1, a part of mitigation. Attorney Brant stated another approach is a
form of mitigation with a stop work order until mitigation is worked out.
Another approach is a criminal provision of 60 days in jail and $500 fine
or both. Attorney Brant stated these are the provisions being worked on
at this time. Attorney Brant stated he cannot legally support the $5,000
fine. Attorney Brant suggested creating a code enforcement provision.
Councilwoman Monroe stated she would like a different version of mitiga-
tion, dollars to buy a piece of land which was destroyed that has equal
trees, or a small parcel. It could perhaps be monies to go into this
account to buy land that will `arever be preserved, as opposed to 3 for 1.
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING. 4/12/90

Mayor Martino stated the Council would like a tougher penalty section
aimed at the 3 areas which were discussed and also include in a time frame
as to how it would work frcn the time it was cited to the time it got to
code enforcement.
6. Mr. Walton stated the basis of the ordinance is only areas that have
habitat existing defined to be environmentally sensitive. Mr. Walton
stated the City can do a thorough environmental study city-wide to iden-
tify where the areas are today or we could wait and require the Developer
to pay for the study if we have minimum reason to believe there is an
environmental area existing on the site or a portion of the site.
Per a consensus of the City Council, having the Developer pay for the
® study if conditions warrant same, was decided to be the best approach.
The following are questions raised by Councilwoman Monroe:
Section 3 (d): Determined by whom? Mr. Walton stated Staff would make a
determination. Mr. Walton stated he does not feel there is land which
could fall under this category in the city.
Section 3 (g): In response to Councilwoman Monroe, Mr. Watton stated he
b,lieved that portion of the high school being referenced would have been
preserved under this ordinance, or at least 25% of the area.
Section 4.02: In response to Councilwoman Monroe, Mr. Walton stated there
are 3 endangered, threatened or special concerns, and the list of species
is quite lengthy. Mr. Walton stated these lists are modified from timo to
time. Councilwoman Monroe stated she felt some requirement should be
placed on all native habitat.

Section 8.01, last sentence: How will Staff know if there is environmen-
tally significant lands if you don't have an environmental assessment?
In response, Mr. Walton stated determination could be made by looking at
the aerials and a site visit. Councilman Kiselewski asked if we have the
expertise to look at the aerial surveys and say yes or no that there is
environmentally sensitive land. Mr. Walton stated he felt they have the
staff to make the initial detemination, and that if they feel there is
environmentally sensitive land, they will require the environmental
assessment.
Section 8.02 (g)(h): Do these items fit in this ordinance and what does
it have to do with natural resource and environmentally sensitive habi-
tats? Mr. Walton stated he does not know of any of these existing, and
they are generally found together. Mr. Walton stated they will look at
(g) and (h) and come back with a recommendation.
Section 8.03: Councilman Kiselewski suggested changing "qualified and" to
"verify or".
Section 9.01 (c): In response to Councilwoman Monroe, Mr. Walton stated
their intention is to reserve not less than 25% of the area which quali-
fies for environmentally significant lands.
Section 9.02 (b): Councilwoman Monroe suggested, and the Council agreed,
to strike "street tree program" in the secund line.
Attorney Brant stated in Section 4.01, Mr. Hendrickson is working on defi-
nitions. Attorney Brant suggested and the Council agreed, to strike
Section 6.03.

adopting Chapter 37: Elections, which shall be refered to as "The Palm

the State Election Code has no application to municipal elections.

the Charter requirements. In response to Councilman Kiselewski, Attorney
