REPORTS BY MAYOR
AND COUNCIL
('3UNCILMAN
KISELEWSKI Councilman Kiselewski reported the Solid Waste Authority met yesterday and
decided to proceed with buying, or attempting to close the deal on the
Curn property, which means they will need more money, since the money
which was allocated in 1985 to purchase the land is not enough.
The Solid Waste Authority has decided not to put aluminum extraction devi-
ces on the current facility on Site 7. Because the recycling is going so
well, the largest bulk of aluminum is coming out of rPcyclona and there is
very little left going into the plant.
COUNCILMAN RUSSO In response to Councilman Russo, the Ci•..y Manager started he has not yet
heard from Dr. Nicholas.
VICE MAYOR ALDRED `r';ce Mayor Aldred reported the Claremont Institute is a "think tank" now
dealing with planning issues and how 9,3 -5 and the rest of the planning
ordinances the State has adopted are generally the type of regulations
that caused many of the California problems. They will be studying

County, and are going to offer their comments to the State for con-
sideration. Vice Mayor Aldred reported that one of the items had to do
with traffic and there has been a whole series of studies that states that
once the road becomes congested, it generally does not become more
conges +?d.
Councilman Kiselewski distributed his ideas re: districting plan for the
City. The Council will review the plan at a future meeting.
The City Manager stated the City does not have an effective ordinance on
the books re: TV Cable Franchise. Approximately ten years ago the
setting of the rates by the municipalities was removed by the government
and transferred to the FCC. The City Planager stated there are several
things which can be regulated by the municipalities under the Act, which
the City is trying to accomplish through this ordinance. By having this
ordinance on the books, companies requesting a cable tv franchise will
have the necessary funding, and will be required to offer a competitive
cable tv system throughout the community as opposed to certain areas of
the community. The City Manager stated that requirements of the ordinance
will provide for proper insurance, proper bonds to cover damages,
telephone system which is operation, and after -hours repair service line.

The City Manager stated an enabling ordinance will give the City more
direct control than we presently have.
In response to Councilman Kiselewski, Attorney Brant stated the laity has
no standards, and even though it is non - exclusive, we can expect reaso-
nable service and expansion from Adelphia.
In response to Councilman Kiselewski, Attorney Brant stated that by making
Adelphia our franchise, it does not give them exclusive rights to the
City, also, it will prohibit sub - divisions or condominiums from
setting up their own dish and distributing throughout their apartments,
unless the City Council permits it as part of a PUD approval.

In response to Councilman Russo, the City Manager stated the City would he
able to tie Adelphia into the ordinance.
Per a consensus of the City Council, Ordinance 5, 1990 will be on the
April 5. 1990 ,agenda for first reading. The workshop meeting will be
scheduled at a later date. The City Manager recommended changes on page
5, 6, and 7 before first reading of the ordinance.

the request deviates from the code by requesting a landscape strip with a
151 frontage along the right -of -way and signs thac do not meet require-
ments of the new Sign Ordinance.
Mr. Walton stated the Petitioner has also requested a curb cut on
Northlake Blvd., behind Stop IN Go. The Planning and Zoning Commission,
was concerned that the curb cut not be constructed until Northlake Blvd.
has been widened, and asked that the County Engineer's office be con-
sulted. The County Engineer commented they would allow the turn, however
it would be limited to right turns in and right turns out. Mr. Walton
stated the Planning and Zoning Commission requested a restriction on high
generating uses. Mr. Walton stated that at the February 13, 1990,
Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, staff recommended the public
hearing be rescheduled until comments had been received from the City
Traffic Consultant. The Planning and Zoning Commission requested the
Petitioner recess the Public Hearing however, the Petitioner stated he
would like to go before the City Council. The Planning and Zuning
Commission unanimously recommended denial of the petition due to lack of
landscaping on Military Trail, traffic, conceras, at the south
entrance /exit, restriction of high generating uses, and the overall layout
of the site. The City Manager stated the City has had problems with
getting paid for work which has been done re: traffic impact at the inter-
section of Military Trail and Northlake Blvd. and, therefore, he
instructed the City's Traffic Engineer to stop wort; until he has been
paid.

Alan Strassler, authorized agent for Marquis Corp., addressed the City
Council stating the County stated they have no problem with the tarn
in /turn out on Northlake Blvd. and Kahart Pinder had essentially
stated the same. Mr. Strassier stated that after the February 13th
meeting with Planning and Zoning, they had reduced the square footage from
16,500 to 15,000 and decreased parking, enabling an increase in the buffer
along the frontage to between 17' and 251, with an average buffer of 201.
Mr. Strassler stated that the 15,000 square foot building complies with
the present zoning, parking, and land coverage, except for the 15' buffer.
Councilwoman Monroe felt the Petitioner should meet the requirements under
straight zoning or come back with something different.
Councilman Kiselewski suggested the Petitioner go back to Planning and
Zoning under straight zoning or make it creative and ask for the bonuses.
Councilman Kiselewski stated he does not like the alley coming off
Northlake Blvd.

plans.

the buffer because it was consistent with what has been allowed up and
down the street. Mayor Martino felt the PUD process was the best proce-
dure, however some issues should be resolved and the Petitioner should go
back to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mayor Martino requested a
condition be placed in the ordinance requiring that at some point in time
the property to the west consider sharing a cross - easement to eventually
take the traffic closer to Virginia Avenue and close this exit.
The consensus of the City Council was for the Petitioner" to go back to
the Planning and Zoning Commission for review of revised plans.

STEEPLECHASE Attorney Brant gave a brief history of the development of the Safe
Neighborhood District for Steeplechase.
Attorney Steve Mathison of Scott, Royce, Harris, Bryan & Hyland, repre-
senting the Steeplechase Safe Neighborhood District, addressed the City
Council and stated the City Council, when they created the District,
directe. Steeplechase to create a proposed plan in accordance with the
Statute, which requires Steeplechase further the appearance, safety and
security of the community. Since Ordinance 17, 1989 requires that all
streets within the District be private streets, Steeplechase was to
acquire a deed from the County releasing any claim or right to the road-
ways, since the County had the roadways dedicated to them in the original
development plat. Attorney Mathison stated that in December 1989, they
were able to obtain the deed from the County, and since the deed is in
favor of Palm Beach Gardens, Steeplechase is asking the City to authorize
the execution of the deed from the City to the District. The District
would accept title to the roadways, maintenance responsibility and liabi-
lity associated with the roadways. Attorney Mathison stated that
Steeplechase has a serious crime problem at this time. Attorney Mathison
stated that a number of the safe neighborhood concepts set forth in the
proposed plan have already been implemented in the District, (a wall nas
been constructed along the turnpike and Beeline perimeter of the property,
lighting has been and still is being installed to inhibit criminal acti-
vity, and crime preventing type plantings have been plantea). Attorney
Mathison stated the final Plement,, of the plea are the privatization of
40 the roadways within the District, the construction of a guard gate at
1l

Northlake Blvd. and a card gate at Beeline. Attorney Mathison stated the
Statute states the proposed plan is to be presented to the City Council
for review and approval as being consistent with the City's adopted
Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Attorney Mathison stated the District Board
of Directors and the consultants have worked with the Staff, Police
Department and other agencies to arrive at a plan which is an effective
crime prevention plan. Attorney Mathison stated the residents desire
approval by the Council of this plan as quickly as possible to be able to
put the plan into operation to help eliminate the crime problem within the
District.
In response to Mayor Martino, Attorney Mathison stated all requirements
have been met and a sign has been placed at the entrance to the develop-
ment identifying that the City is considering adoption of this plan.
Attorney Mathison stated that when the City Council approves the plan as
being consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, a Putlic Hearing needs to be
advertised in a local paper, and notices must be sent to Steeplechase
residents. The residents of Steeplechase must hold a public hearing them-
selves prior to adopting any safe neighborhood plan. In response to Mayor
Martino, Attorney Mathison, stated the percentages of approval within the
Steeplechase Homeowners's Assucation had been m:t overwhelmingly.
In response to Attorney Brant, Rich ;Calton stated the City's Traffic,
Engineer has not come up with a report for the record re: the closing of
Haverhill Road. Attorney Mathison stated Haverhill Road has been removed
from the County's throughfare plan and comprehensive plan. Attorney Brant
pointed out there is neighborhood commercial strip along Beeline Highway
which is going to be walled out, where before it would have been a part of

the complex, Attorney Brant stated that whoever the owner is, it cannot
be neighborhood if they cannot get to it, and the next step would be CG-1
Commercial for that parcel of land, which is something the Council should
consider. Attorney Brant stated that he had a discussion with Mr. Walton
on whether this would change any traffic patterns on Military Trail when
it is under construction, if it would further impact Military Trail and
this is something the record must reflect before there is a consent or
signoff. In response to Councilman Kiselewski, Attorney Mathison stated
there is a small parcel of public land designated for public service or
a fire safety facility, originally dedicated to the County. Attorney
Mathison stated they are going to have discussions with the County on how
that can best be used in the future. Attorney Mathison stated the County
has bought off on the entire concept of the privatization of the roadways.
In response to Councilman Kiselewski, Attorney Brant stated the County was
not entitled to legal notice, however, they had notice by virtue of nego-
tiating the surrender of their rights to Haverhill Road. In response to
Councilman Kiselewski, Attorney Mathison stated the parcel set aside for
public service is outside the wall. Councilman Kiselewski requested
Attorney Mathison provide additional information on wh(.i this will be
implemented, how the gates will work, how the fire and police will get in
and out, what kinds of patrol there are to be, and how someone will visit
residents. Councilman Kiselewski requested information re: provisions
placed in the homeowners' documents so they can continue to maintain the
inside /outside of the wall, lighting and vegetation. Councilwoman 14onroe
requested information re: time of the construction of Military Trail as it
relates to Lhe final implementation of the safe neighborhood district.

Councilman Russo requested the homeowners be made aware of the exact cost
of maintaining the community. Councilman Russo felt that in order for it
to be a safe neighborhood, they should have guards at both entrances,
Attorney Mathison stated the gate planned for Beeline is a sliding gate
instead of an up /down gate.
Vice Mayor Aldred stated he is in favor of the proposed plan and urged the
Petitioner to gather necessary information for Council approval.
Mayor Martino stated he is in favor of the proposed plan, but was under
the impression the residents wanted to close off the Beeline entrance
totally. Attorney Mathison stated that was not the result of the poll of
the residents. Attorney Mathison stated they have the authority, if there
is a necessity, to come back before the Council on a yearly basis to make
the adjustments necessary to make sure crime is prevented or decreased,
and the walling off of Beeline could be one of thc5e changes.
Attorney Brant recommended one more workshop so the Petitioner could
answer remaining questions.
Per a consensus of the City Council, this item will be workshopped April
12, 1990, with the consideration of approval scheculea for April 19, 1990,
