Roger, thank you for coming. Was it fun in the traffic? >> I know you were just like I was >> turn 510 was a reasonable time to leave the 83. >> One would think. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I when when I came by where the road
is blocked up there at mile marker 90. I'm looking at this thinking why did you even expand it to two lanes for 200 feet? Just leave it at one foot. >> It don't make any sense. >> Oh, I'm sure there's some logic to it, but it would fail my test. So, >> all right, let's go ahead and call the
meeting together. 5:00 5. Not bad. 50 5:31. Uh, welcome to the February 23rd, 2026 meeting of the local planning agency of the village of Alamada. I would appreciate it if Angie would take a roll call, please. Ma'am, >> Greg Dully
>> here. >> Corey Ael >> here. >> Roger Young >> here. >> James Ryan >> here. >> Tony Hammond >> here. >> Lorie Lant present. And Cheryl Coerson >> present. >> We have a quorum. >> Thank you.
Let's Okay, we've had a roller coaster of Jesus and >> Ice to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice
for all. >> Thank you. Do I have any requests from the uh planning department or for any members of the LPA for any deletions or additions to tonight's agenda? Speak now forever. Hold your peace. Hearing none.
Moving on. I'm going to ask for the planning director and or the village manager who I don't see to make their comments for the evening, please. >> Um so I just have one announcement. Um and I uh have Daniel Parabach with me today. Um, many of you may know Daniel. He's been our senior environmental
planner and our village biologist for a while. Um, recently we had um some staff turnover and some staff changes and Daniel has been promoted to assistant planning director in the department. So you may um from time to time see him
here in my place um when I'm not available or when he is presenting things to you. So I wanted to make that um announcement and present Daniel. I don't know if he wants to say anything if you want to. >> I didn't have anything prepared. >> So thank you. We'll consider you having
arrived at the same time that the US men's hockey team just came back in to United States. So congratulations. That's wonderful. >> Okay. Public comment. Do we have anybody in the audience that would like to make comment on anything other than what's on the agenda this evening?
Seeing none, public comments closed. Unless there's somebody on the television that I'm not aware of. No. Okay. Thank you. Consent agenda. Did I didn't see any minutes. Did I miss the minutes? I had my copy of the minutes. >> I have them here for you. >> Okay. All right. That's fine. Did everybody get a chance to look through
the minutes from the last meeting? >> Yes. >> Okay. Do I hear a motion to approve? >> Motion to approve. >> Thank you, sir. Second. >> Second. >> Thank you, gentlemen. May I have a vote on approval of that, please? >> That was Tony first and then Greg.
Oh, sorry. >> Corey Ael, >> yes. >> Roger Young, >> yes. >> James Ryan, >> yes. >> Tony Hammond, >> yes. >> And Greg Dully, >> yes. >> Lori Leon,
>> yes. >> And Cheryl Corersonson, >> yes. Thank you. >> Motion pass 7 to zero. >> Thank you, ma'am. Okay, moving on. Uh, we have public hearings tonight on an ordinance to amend policy 1-31.3. Could we have that red plate for us, please, this evening? Thank you.
>> Yes, absolutely. I would also um like to make you all aware that items A and B are companion items and so they can be heard at the same time. Um, I would just like to advise you of that and if you'd like I can read them both. >> Is everybody comfortable with everything being read at once and we vote on it separately? Okay.
>> Yes. Okay. Go ahead. Thank you. >> Of course. So item A, an ordinance of Isa Marada, village of Islands, Florida, amending policy 1-3.1.3, Institute a program for transfer of development rights of the Isa Marada comprehensive plan by amending
procedures and eligibility criteria for the transfer of development rights. providing for the transmitt of this ordinance to the state department of commerce, providing for severability, providing for conflicts, and providing for an effective date upon approval of this ordinance by the state department
of commerce. Um, moving to item B, an ordinance of Island Marada, Village of Islands, Florida, amending village code sections 30-504, quote, transfer procedure, end quote, to amend procedures and eligibility criteria for the transfer of development
rights, TDRs, providing for the transmitt of this ordinance to the state department of commerce, providing for severability, providing for conflicts, providing for inclusion in the code, and providing for an effective date upon approval of this ordinance. ments by the state department of commerce.
>> Wonderful. Thank you so much. Okay. Has everybody had a chance to read through the ordinances and get get up to speed on where we are? This is we've discussed this before. We're sort of going back to what we had suggested previously. Do I hear any comments from anybody? Greg, would you like to start? >> Madam Chair, this is actually different
than what you discussed before. >> Do I have to do public comment first? >> Um, well, but if does anybody want it's this is just about banking TDRs and we didn't really discuss that previously. So, I don't know if you want I'm happy to not talk about it if you don't want to, but >> let me ask a show of hands. Does
everybody know what banking a TDR means? >> I think she should discuss it anyway in case we have other people listening or want to want to talk about or want to review um the replay >> our meeting. So, >> okay. Okay. So, um, as several of you
may know, we have, um, people in the village who own TDRs that, you know, it may be holding up a sale of their property or they may not have something to, uh, or a unity of title or something and they have no place to land these TDRs. So, we've created a system now
where hopefully people can what we call bank the TDR with the village where the village will hold the TDR for them indefinitely so that they can then um do whatever they need to do with the real property underneath the TDR but not lose the building right or not be forced to
land the TDR somewhere where they don't want to. So, um the comp plan amendment just um allows for that to happen and then the LDR actually lays out the um requirements that they would need to do. There's an application, a habitat
analysis would be required um and they would have to put a go see it on the property. So, um it's pretty straightforward. Um people have been asking for this for a while. We're just now getting around to it. Um happy to answer any questions that you might have. Um and if you need more explanation, I can do that as well. So,
>> I'm I'm ecstatic that it's finally being done after starting this in 2006 when we first wrote the TDR ordinance. So, anybody else have any comments or questions? Lori, >> I think it's a great idea. Um, I think it'll maybe perhaps, God willing, uh,
open up some opportunities for the Florida Forever program. folks that have some properties that >> we'd like to put on that list and maybe they have some TDRs on there that if they can move them off because it's environmentally sensitive, we could bank them and make a deal. More importantly,
I think it it gives the opportunity if you have a TDR for it to be recognized in the community so that you got you run out and get hit by the proverbial bus and all of a sudden your family who has not been in town is going, "What's this and what is this potential cloud on the title?" So,
it has a way of being registered and filed and we know where it is. So, all right. Any further discussion from the board at this point? Do I have any commentary from the public? Please, sir. Thank you, Mr. Harris.
>> Hi, Ty Harris. Uh, 110 Plantation Shores Drive. First, congratulations to staff for finally bringing this home. This has been a work in progress over multiple staffs and to get to a point now where it's in front of LPA with a version that
looks like it may accomplish a lot of a lot of things we want to see accomplished is is kudos to staff and to Jennifer's group for doing that. The the thing about the the conservation properties and uh Greg was touching on
it and why this is so important is that we keep telling everybody that has conservation land that there is value in the density on their property, but I challenge you to go find one density transfer in the last 20 years
because remember we we it can only be upland density which means somebody actually has to survey that out if there's a portion of it as as wet and dry. But the village the village has upland density when it bought the property in Venetian shores. I that that
is a commodity that they could put on the market. But if you're looking for ways to kind of put off, you know, Bert J. Harris cases and other types of takings cases, if you can show that there's real value in that, that gives you a defense that you don't really have
because right now nobody's using it. So being able to bank it is important. The other component of that of this banking system and which I think is even probably more important is that everybody that's in the business whether it's real estate or law
engineering everybody knows building that the TDRs that came with an original property the underlying land gets sold but the original owner holds on to the TDRs and then that land may sell multiple times but our application
still requires the owner of the physical property to sign the TDR ordinance, not the owner of the TDR, which can create some very interesting problems down the road, >> especially without. >> So, if we're able to get this done, then hopefully we can rework our our real
estate contracts that so we can compel people to put them in the bank to keep these problems from happening that you've identified and that we've just discussed. So, great job staff and um I hope that you'll move this application or this this uh change to the code in
the comp plan forward. Thank you. >> I think it cleans it up beautifully. Do we have any other comments from the public? Daniel, is there anything you want to say? Good. Um anybody else on TV or telephone? >> No. >> Okay. Any other comments from the LPA?
I'll entertain a motion to approve or disapprove. If if I may, I'm sorry to interject. We will need to have a separate motions for the separate items, although they are companions. >> I apologize. >> No, not at all. >> Okay. Are we calling this part A?
>> Are we calling this part part A? >> Yes, we can refer to them as part A and part B. >> Do we have a motion to approve part A of what's in front of us? >> Well, >> okay. I'm going to make a I'll make a motion to uh approve the um policy the
amendment of the policy of 1-3.1.3 the the development of a banking system for development rights. >> Thank you. Roger. Second. >> Okay. Thank you. All right. May you would you give us a roll call, please? Ma'am >> Lori Lan.
>> Yes. Roger Young, >> yes. >> Tony Hammond, >> yes. >> James Ryan, >> yes. >> Corey Ael, >> yes. >> Greg Deli, >> yes. >> And Cheryl Corersonson, >> yes. >> Motion pass 7 to zero.
>> Okay. Moving on to part B. Correct. Okay. Do we have a motion to approve or act on part B of the ordinance in front? >> We should probably discuss some of this. >> Oh, I'm certain. Want to discuss some of this? Well, there's Yeah, there's some >> Okay. >> issues in here.
>> All right. All right. So, what would you like to discuss about? >> Well, not necessarily it's going to be me, but there might be some somebody else that's in here. Like, I'd like to clarify with regards to the um the conservation easement. Is that conservation easement going to encapsulate the entire parcel or only
the parcel that would have habitat that would um >> umate it? Just to clarify, if we're going to reopen the discussion for part B, we'll also reopen the the public comment later on. Um, so I just want to make the board aware if we're going to
reopen the conversation for part B. >> And Lori, to answer your question, the go is only required on the tropical hardwood hammock on the sender site. Okay. >> So, does that mean that um uh the land
owner on the sender site would have to obtain a um a survey, a biological survey? >> Yes. And a boundary survey that matches and then that go would be recorded during the application process of the banking >> on the sender site and the receiving site.
>> The sender because the receiving site's the village as the bank. >> I want to make sure I heard that correctly. Okay. >> All right. Jimmy any miss you got anything >> Cy >> so I also have another question for you Daniel sorry like to see you walk back
and forth um it's so one of the other criteria is is that the sender site um shall be maintained free of all invasive and exotic vegetation for the duration of which the TVR is banked with the village. Do you happen to have a policy
or a process or procedure in place in order to to facilitate that requirement? Because obviously that's >> as the the properties get banked, it will become a part of a rotation that the biologist goes and surveys for invasive exotics. And if there's some
found, then a notice would go out to the current owner with a timeline that they need to come into compliance. So, question for you. Is this current sender site before it's sold being required to be cleared of those invasives? >> Yes. >> Okay. That I just wanted to make sure that we were clearing that first.
>> Okay. >> Are they required to be cleared to structure too or just >> Well, would to to bank you would not have to you'd have to not have a primary structure. >> Okay. Speaking from experience, most of the sender sites have a building that's
already falling down for you, so it's much easier to just >> Well, I don't Maybe they have like a partial building that's sitting there. So, >> yeah, we've done most of the ones I've seen have been pretty bad shape, but they have to be maintained safely. I remember that part, having lived down
the street from the Sands House after Hurricane Wilma for six years. So, Miss Wan, any other questions? >> No. Okay. >> Anybody else? >> Mr. Hammond, sir? >> Nope. >> Mr. Dwey? >> Nope. >> Mr. Roger?
>> No. >> All right. Any other questions from the from Thank you. Any other questions from the public at this time? If there anybody on the uh video or the we need to do. >> All right. At this time, if we're ready, I will entertain a motion to accept or
not accept part B of the ordinance in front of us this evening. Is that correct? >> Um, yeah. Oh yes, it's um to clarify, it's not part B of the ordinance. They are separate ordinances. Okay. Um so it's part B of the agenda, but it is the
second ordinance reflected on today's agenda. >> Okay. >> I move to approve the second ordinance or part B of the agenda. >> I'll second that motion to approve part B. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Tony Hammond, >> yes.
>> Greg Dolly, >> yes. Cory Ael, >> yes. >> Roger Young, >> yes. >> James Ryan, >> yes. >> Lori Lelon, >> yes. And Charlson, >> yes. >> Motion pass 7 zero. >> Thank you.
>> Is there anything else that the local planning agency members would like to bring forward at this time about future subjects or anything else of that nature? Anybody? Anything in the back of their minds? Um, madame attorney, do you have anything else that you'd like to bring forward to us?
>> I do not at this time. >> Okay. Village dire uh planning director. >> Um, just that um at we don't have anything scheduled for our March meeting. Um, and today was the deadline for advertising. So, it looks like we will be canceling the March meeting. >> Oh, that's too bad.
>> Should I work on that? >> It's too late now. So, whatever goes on will be for April. Okay. >> All right. Anything else anybody here needs to discuss that this this August buddy needs to deal with? If not, I'll entertain a motion to adjurnn.
>> Second that motion. >> Okay, everybody vote by leaving. >> Thank you everyone. >> Thank you.
