thereof I hear on to set my hand this 18th day of February 2025 [Applause] thank you thank you mayor uh city council and
uh the town of Jupiter um you've you've done this for us for a couple of years now and I'm really appreciative of it again my name is Patrice Schroeder I've actually been with this Agency for it will be my 19th year this coming August I'm very passionate about what I do and
so are the staff at 211 every day we answer roughly 350 calls in our 5count count area with about 12 on average that are of Crisis nature or suicide crisis so our staff are there to to assist these individuals to help them see a
little light in their situation but also to help bring forth some resources that could help and of course um we had about 120 ,000 calls last year and the number one need expressed is housing it does not it goes without saying I think about
100 out of that 300 are regarding housing the second highest need is mental health so we can help those individuals get connected to those services and I know our Proclamation is a little long but there's so many things that we do there may be people in the audience or there may be somebody
watching through TV I don't I think you guys televis this as well so we just want to let the community know that we are a place that they can turn when they don't know where else to go where there even if somebody just needs to talk who could be an isolated caregiver that's under stress and you know dealing with
so much and has nobody to share that with they can just simply call us and of course we are calling about 700 seniors every day we have a lot of seniors that are isolated they have no one that's checking in on them we're there to call them say hello give them a nice little
you know checkup to make sure everything's going well and we they can go about their day and we do have that veteran support line as well for veterans and their families and any First Responders I know that a lot of communities do have programs for their First Responders with Mental Health
crisis but just in case the responder doesn't want to go to the municipality they can come outside and use our service as well we can help them find resources specific to the crisis nature that they're struggling with so again we have so many different programs so many things our whole goal is just to make
the world a little bit better for these individual ual in our community that are struggling so you may not need this service but if you know of somebody that is just tell them to call 211 where they are 247 they can also text us they can text their zip code to
898211 so I think I'm going to let it go at that point because there's so much you can go to our website 211p beach.org and I want to thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to speak thank you thank you

then they're also going and working nights and they're working evenings to make sure that they are reaching out to as many people as possible to answer as many questions as possible and then many of them have a long commute after so we're really grateful to them for all they do and for all the extra effort
they put in and time thank you we moving on the citizen comments uh this is the time for uh any comments on non agenda items and they're limited to 3 minutes anyone wishing to speak is asked to State his her name and address for the record prior to addressing Town
Council do we have any citizen comments yes first we have Carlos Penna [Applause] Mr Mayor vice mayor members of the council clerk good evening Town manager my name is Carlos Pena my address is um
8530 Northwest 64 Street in Dural 33166 so I'm a South Florida business owner a neighbor to uh to Jupiter I'm here to speak or to make some comments I guess I can't make questions directly about the Centennial
Celebration of of Jupiter this year there's about a dozen cities uh two dozen cities in Florida right now celebrating their their Centennial and my company's visiting as many of them as possible to express our interest in becoming involved my company is pixel
swarm drones we do drone light shows in the sky I just want to take a few minutes to introduce myself the company highlight some positives and up until my company was incorporated for any soft Florida municipality to have a a premier drone
light show they had to reach out to companies that were from out of state our company is the first premier company that's based uh here in Florida we're able to provide uh world-class Productions at very fair pricing safe shows and with personal
service um so what I wanted to find out today was the process if there's already um a committee for fireworks or drone light shows or any kind of RFP or how I could get added to maybe a a future agenda
item uh as a as to the agenda of a future commission hearing so that I could provide education on drone light shows and answer any questions about the process if if there is an interest in uh in having one here for the community I'm going um I'm visiting many cities as
many as a Canon person in Florida to try to bring as many shows as possible to the dozens of cities having the Centennial this year which is actually a lot thank you for your time thank you and our staff we'll get back with you Craig
mauy good evening Craig mauy 2:30 block of Isles Lane here in Jupiter the standard form of government in America is through election Ed Representatives this pertains to the smallest HOA all the way up to the federal government here in Jupiter we
elect four counselors and a mayor to represent all the rest of us that means you decide by majority votes how best to handle all the Myriad factors that go into having a town that's what governing
means this is exactly what the Town Council did in April of 2023 when you voted to approve that onerous new contract with the Palm Beach County fire rescue to ensure we had continuing Fire Rescue Services it's also what you did in August of 2023 when you voted to
terminate that owner his contract in favor of establishing our own fire rescue department at a cost of some sizable number less than the roughly $357 million that the county said that they
would charge us over the period of the contract I didn't make up that number it came directly from the of the fire rescue service costs attached to a letter from Palm Beach County fire rescue Chief Patrick Kennedy to town manager
Kito in the 67 Town Council meetings I've attended since we moved here I've seen counselors recuse themselves whenever the council was to vote on an item which involved an entity in which they you or even a family member had an interest that's the right thing to
do on April 18th 2023 you voted on whether to approve that new 10-year contract between two government agencies the town of Jupiter and Palm Beach County fire rescue at that time councelor May was being paid as an elected town councelor
to represent the town's best interests he was also being paid by the Palm Beach County fire rescue As A Firefighter appropriately so he was also being paid as a principal officer of the Palm Beach County fire rescue Union Local 2928 to me that is the clearest possible
POS example of a conflict of interest and yet councelor May did not recuse himself in April April he did not recuse himself in August I am aware that councelor may have received legal clearance to vote that's not the same in my mind as a
moral obligation to recognize a conflict of interest that's not the moral code that I look for in the mayor for my town so I will not be voting for counselor May for mayor thank you we have Linda mcdermit Linda mcdermit 107 chadrick
drive also District 2 Council um campaigner uh I just wanted to say I appreciate you recognizing the 211 very important and our communicators um as many of you know I was a dispatch uh telecommunicator I
used to give CPR with the phone Hein lick over the phone and last uh meeting I did mention the importance of maybe bringing dispatch back inhouse because Council continues to say we in order to have seamless we need police and fire
together but we really need dispatch police and fire together uh it makes a difference um because when you train together uh you know your guys your your ladies and everything so I have to agree with wanting to have seamless but I'd
like it to be in the minutes that I made that recommendation last week and I stand on that and I would love to help the town bring back dispatch um I know uh the town manager is very well versed on this and knows and you guys have always given them the Kudos that they
needed before they went to North County so I I really believe we could bring them back seamlessly um and then with the 211 it was just was appropriate to speak of of dispatch um they are such a lifeline and
uh I know I I'm not sure if you guys have given asset forfeiture funds from police to them but if not I'd like you to consider to give I know you have to have required donations and they are very good source to give a donation to thank
you that was it was it thank you okay moving on to the minutes Council we have before us the February 4th minutes with uh some minor revisions on the dis if there's no uh correction
further Corrections I'll take a motion as amended so moved second motion a second uh all in favor signify by saying I I motion carries unanimously moving on the consent agenda
this is items 5 through eight on the agenda is there any member of the public that wish to pull a consent agenda item yes item six item six okay um any member anybody on the Das wish to pull a consent agenda item
yes number eight may as well eight okay um I'll take a motion in a second to approve the amended consent agenda on agenda items five and seven sub move second Motion in a second all
in favor signify by saying I I I motion carries unanimously moving to uh resolution 3125 authorizing the Jupiter fire rescue Department to allocate and use Florida plan funds receive recovered as a result
of the opioid opioid litigation um pulled by the member of the public um correct mry again Craig mauy 230 block Isles Lane Jupiter this agenda item considers the expenditure of funds available to
town of Jupiter to enhance our Fire Rescue Services I will say I'm right up front I am very much in favor of that I think it's an absolutely appropriate expenditure of those funds but should this expenditure be put to a public vote
there's been an enormous amount of noise about a public vote on a jup fire rescue Department uh one quote that stuck up my mind that item of this magnitude should get a public vote this implies at least to me that there is some threshold or criteria for something going to a public vote and yet
I have not heard anyone even discuss such criteria would it be a contract longer than some X number of years a contract greater than x dollar any contract that involves a capital expenditure should that April 2023
contract vote on the Palm Beach County of Fire have been put to a public vote $357 million seems like it would warrant it I've heard very recently that the Jupiter fire department is a done deal now a mood issue what's not moot is the underlying
premise under what specific conditions should counselors Advocate your fiduciary responsibilities as our elected officials of the town government again to finish with that agenda item I think it's a valid expenditure I am for that one and since
I have a little time left I forgot this last time this Centennial business promo map that's out here at the reception office this is marvelous I love this thing I've already saved money anybody else that was it um good U
Good Food For Thought um Council we have before us resolution 3125 can I have a motion in a second so moved second motion the second all in
favor signify by saying I I I I motion carries unanimously moving on to uh item number eight uh pull by both the vice mayor and uh councilor 4 um what's
your pleasure I'd actually like a presentation we a St for a presentation good evening mayor good evening councel um I came here tonight um to discuss the history
of uh traffic reconstruction software traffic accident reconstruction software and Hardware as well as crime scene traffic reconstruction and Hardware um and what I did is I just pulled a brief picture from a um demonstration that we had I'm just looking to pull it up here
here we go like to think I'm pretty computer savvy but it doesn't want to cooperate right now there we go so this picture here as many of us in this room recognize this is obviously the new police department the community center over here excuse me
behind here is is the new town hall although it looks pretty crude this is a picture taken with this um latest and greatest uh reconstruction hardware and software called farro a company that's been in existence for over 40 years and the good thing about farro is they are
located right here in Florida I believe it's Lake Mary so local business just to give you a little history uh the police department purchased um mapping hardware and software back in 2009 uh we updated it in 2016 and it's we're at the point
now where it's met its end of life kind of just like you you purchase a computer it becomes slower over time the software isn't supported it's out of warranty um so we budgeted for this particular item both the new hardware and software um and again this is a picture that was
taken just a few months ago um it doesn't look all that graphically great but what I can tell you is um the device is basically um it's very simple you put it on the ground you press a button and lasers you can't see them but lasers
spin around and actually do this rendering it's that this is 23 million points done in about 3 minutes so what that means is not that we would do this in this application but if I wanted to know the distance between this palm tree and say this curb right here I can know that in
in a second why that's important obviously if we're at a traffic crash scene it's very important to measure distances uh back in the old days we had to get the measuring tape out um and then they graduated to a stick that you could walk with to speed things up you'd
have road closures for hours this system literally can be done in minutes um again you put it on the ground where you're going to be able to get that 360 view uh it uploads all the data to the machine which sits on a tripod
and you then bring it to a computer and it it it spits it out in a way that um the average person can understand it they can see it uh it has 3D rendering and even animation for crime scenes to kind of recreate a crime scene
um so again I this is just the one picture of many many many I didn't want to bore you with all these data points but uh that the software involves again actually mapping if I if I to the computer again I want to know the distance from s again the palm tree to anything here it's going to give me that
instantaneously uh what's great about this is it puts police officers back on the street in a very quick period of time uh that the software and Hardware we have now although it's considered Advanced uh as I said it's it's it's met its end of life and it's a couple hours before we can even get out of the
roadway uh not only that just to mitigate traffic problems um when when the officers are out there recreating a scene they're out there for hours at a time the roadways close for hours at a time that creates major traffic issues it's no secret
there's a lot of traffic in this town uh this new system will mitigate that dramatically and again like I said getting officers back on the street to answer calls and getting roadways open which obviously leads to our strategic strategic initiatives with safety and Mobility I'm certainly open to any
questions on this but again this is a pre-budget item um which is very efficient uh which are crime scene investigators Detective and traffic um officers can all use simultaneously and these are Court accepted as well and everything's yes
ma'am so this system is so Advanced that the courts across the United States have accepted this especially with the animation if you're going to a trial you have all your jury members it's very easy to understand and follow and read along and again a jury likes to see
pictures likes to see videos and that's what this software does and I understand that sometimes it can even catch things that might be missed by officers just given the environment that they're working in so absolutely so this picture doesn't really render it but if you can see here it's kind of
tough to see on the screen this little blue dot here we did this just the show um if I'll use a traffic accident for example if there's a small piece of plastic in the roadway that seems not important this you can actually go back
you can zoom in on this I don't have the software on on this computer to do this but zoom in and say wait a minute we might need to collect that piece of evidence that's super important the human eye is going to miss stuff even if you have 12 officers out there doing a line search for something you can miss stuff this isn't going to miss it you
can zoom in it's again it's 3D and then we know okay we see this now we have to collect this as evidence wonderful thank you yes ma'am yes thank you very much um I'm a forensic engineer Accident Reconstructionist by trade I use
technology like this all the time and I saw Leica was one of the um proposed Alternatives I like the pharoh system better it's an excellent system you're buying and I don't think everybody might fully understand what they're looking at that's not a picture that's a
three-dimensional world what they have there it's a scanned three-dimensional world that if they had a software up they could rotate it around you can look at it from every direction so you can actually immerse yourself in the scene um unfortunately lots of us have
probably been in Rex in Florida the uh old diagram you would see it was a hand sketch diagram you guys are doing as good as you could but you had so much to do you can only do so much these will help generate these diagrams just like that so much quicker to generate
diagrams much more accurate so the information's translated into the the courtroom or between parties much much U more accurately the accuracy of this is as you said before doing it with tape measures so there's no comparison at all
um the the less time you guys spend on the scene the less likely you're going to be injured so I'm very much for that to minimize your exposure to traffic that's a huge priority for me it's a it's great for the citizens because the less time the roads shut down the less
likely other citizens will get in wrecks so this is good from a safety standpoint for uh PD as well as citizens so this is a win-win for everybody I'm just surprised you're still on 2016 that shows you guys really pushing your equipment to the the maximum limit
you can use it and I appreciate that the fiary role that we play up here is important to to to you know monitor funds that's excellent that you were able to push that so long we typically swap stuff out within four years it becomes obsolete fairly quickly and I
see you've waited until um they're no longer supporting it so you absolutely have to replace this there's no choice so I applaud what you're doing and how you're doing it I very much approve this system thank you for your hard work yes thank you I just wanted to say just because of the community conversations
that we've been having around traffic and Public Safety I think this is a very timely presentation so thank you so much you know when um have trial tomorrow I'm going to trial to using some stuff to show this like you guys have to I'm very familiar with this uh technology but in
different application working in uh in project management and in power plants this has been standard for five to 10 years on doing asilt of what's there so Engineers can go back and U and retrofit
things and it's U and inevitably I can just say guilty is charged of inevitably missing a data point from the beginning of my career inevitably you go out and you there was something gosh I wish I would have gotten that and this captures
it which is wonderful I appreciate even the fact you emphasize the reduction in traffic congestion duration because just that alone is a tremendous benefit to the public uh not to mention not wasting our
officers times doing more mundane you know Gathering of information um so this is something quite honestly I'm we should have done a long time ago but I'm GL it's coming forth and we're we're
approving it tonight thank you yes thank you okay with that uh I'll take a motion in the second on agenda item 8 motion to approve second Motion in second all in favor signify by saying I I I the motion carries
unanimously moving on to the uh regular agenda public hearing hearing ordinance 125 five first reading on the neighborhood uh NB subdistrict signage uh turn over staff for a presentation good evening for the
records Scott Thatcher with Planning and Zoning uh the town code allows neighborhoods in Abaco to have entry features with signs at a maximum of four square fet the New Haven Neighborhood during the design of a new entry wall and sign requested to increase the square footage
to 20 square feet for reference neighborhoods are four square feet but like if you're in the more denser sections of Abacoa you're allowed to go up to 35 square feet and if you're in our standard residential district you're allowed to go to 100 square F feet as a result of New Haven's redesign
the town um initiated a zoning text amendment to allow sign to increase to square 20 square feet in this proposed zoning text Amendment if approved the zoning text Amendment would apply to all the neighborhoods in Abacoa not just New Haven the Planning and Zoning commission
recomend recommended approval of the proposed zoning text amendment by the 70 vote and I would note that also um the Abacoa property um o property property owners's assembly also had reviewed the sign approved it and
reviewed the zoning text Amendment staff would be happy to any answer any questions you may have any questions any member of the public uh want wanted to speak no be here um I'd just like to comment I I'm grateful for
the staff initiating this um you know it's interesting because a lot of older communities including the one I live in uh the shores had a few years back you know uh our uh entry signage was dated and so we went through and I wasn't
involved in it in any way but we went through and upgraded everything and and uh when I heard about this I mean what an incredible hardship however they got limited to three square or four square feet is incredible so I'm
grateful that it's being resolved and we ought to be on the lookout for that um so that because sometimes we do these development orders and uh something that might have seemed reasonable at the time when you look at it in the lens of looking at what everybody else has it's
really unfair and so thank you staff very much for initiating this and uh my pitch is just let's look out for other things like this so we can um you know be more U ass assisting to neighborhoods just because someone has an association
doesn't mean they uh you know should be held accountable to come forth with applications and suchu so thank you um with that uh I'll take a motion in a second to approve ordinance
125 approve second a motion a second uh ordinance 25 i' ask Town attorney to read it on short title ordinance 125 in ordinance of the Town Council of the town of Jupiter Florida amending the town code the sign area regulations for the
neighborhood subdistrict providing for codification providing for severability providing for the repeal of laws in conflict and providing for an effective date have a motion in the second on ordinance 125 all in favor signify by
saying I I I motion carries unanimously moving on to uh agenda item 10 uh which consists of uh three items it's uh bevel bio voluntary annexation
there's an ordinance on volunteer annexation there's an ordinance on the future land use map Amendment and then there's a ordinance on the zoning map Amendment and with that I'll turn it over to staff uh to that good evening mayor council members
for the record Alec Dickerson with 2 gho here on behalf of the property owner Venus and Mars LLC tonight's request um comes in three components the first application is a voluntary annexation for 22 acre
property from unincorporated Palm Beach County to town of Jupiter followed by that is a smallscale future Lane use map Amendment from Palm Beach County's Commercial High with underlying medium residential ch5 to
town of Jupiter's inl Village Flex the third application is a rezoning from Palm Beach neighborhood commercial CN to Inlet Village Flex South here's the site location along North A1A um points of reference is adjacent
to the um Jupiter Oxo uh south of the spey property um also Jupiter Inlet Condominiums due north of the inlet Waters development so here's a an overview of the key development milestones uh tonight's request in front of you here
it's a voluntary annexation future land use Amendment and resoning um once approved we will continue on to the certificate to dig this site has a significant archaeological um elements and components so we will go through that
process and um present to the historic resources board um and once we get approval from the historic resources board we will file a smallscale PUD site plan for multif family residential use um here's um a little bit about the B
property uh the property owners own two contiguous Parcels totaling about 0.51 Acres they purchased the subject annexation parcel in 2018 and the town of Jupiter property just to the east in 2022 the subject parcel of the
annexation requests um is currently vacant does contain two non-conforming accessory structures and if anex is approved combined Parcels will yield the multif family residential use um the property did um recently
encounter a uh code violation from Palm Beach County um this was issued by the environmental resources management division on December 13 2024 for the removal of native vegetation oak tree without a vegetation removal permit um
once the owners receive that violation they quickly rectified it by paying the fee in L which amounted to $2,880 uh we did get a a letter that it in the uh slide here that closed the violation on December
23rd and here's a few images of that tree um it was looked at by a tree cutting service um internally Lo was looked at by arborus and it did exhibit signs of rot um the owners did want to
remove it before it posed any threat to the neighboring properties however they do acknowledge that it was done without a permit and so they resolv that violation through Palm Beach County criteria for voluntary annexation
um the code does cite certain criteria that should be present when proposing a voluntary annexation this proposal does meet all of that we are contiguous to a subject municipality does not create an enclave as a matter of fact it eliminates an enclave as Palm
Beach county is the only parcel in that general area um the future development will result in a logical development pattern consistent with the Inland Village area will not impact adopted levels of service and it will yield for potential
infill Redevelopment um of note it is consistent with the town's annexation study that um designates this property as desirable for annexation um as mentioned at the beginning of this presentation in order
to do the voluntary annexation we also need to propose a future land use map Amendment and rezoning from Palm Beach County's designations to town of Jupiter's designations so we are proposing um a land use change from Palm Beach County
ch5 with underlying mr5 to town of Jupiter's in live Village flex and a resoning from Palm Beach County's neighborhood commercial CN to town of Jupiter's in the village Flex South and a graphical representation of
that here's an existing L use map you can see it's all Inlet Village Flex with the exception of our site which is bordered in the black shaded in white um and this is the proposed L use just filling that in to be consistent with
everything around it and we'll repeat that with the zoning as you can see our property stands out as it's the only unincorporated piece and we are proposing rezoning in Village Flex South consistent with its surrounding
areas um the criteria for smallscale future land use map amendments and rezonings once again code does site several criteria that should be met in an effort to approve these applications um this proposal is also consistent with all of those
we're consistent with the goals objectives policies Town's comprehensive plan the inlet Village sector consistent with the established land use pattern uh will not create an isolated land use designation once again it it's
actually providing more consistency with the surrounding land use designations will not increase trips or traffic um and the amendment is needed due to change circumstances or conditions which would be the approval of the
annexation and of note the owners have agreed to a voluntary trip cap on the maximum allowable F not to exceed the established rates by Palm Beach County resulting in no net gain in potential number of trips with this proposed L use
amendment in conclusion the subject applications are consistent with all necessary elements of the comprehensive plan and town studies will not affect adopted levels of service future development will be consistent with applicable sections of the town of Jupiter
code the traffic analysis and the trip cap has been approved by the town's traffic engineer staff report indicates compliance with the comprehensive plan and this proposal received unanimous approval a recommendation for approval from the town's Planning and Zoning
commission looc planning agency with that I thank you for your time and we will defer to staff good evening mayor members of the council for the record my name is Martin Schneider I'm with the town's planning and zoning department um Alec gave a
good summary so I'll try not to repeat too much um as stated there are three separate ordinances and three separate votes on this item the annexation the fure future land use map Amendment and the resoning the annexation is consistent with the town's annexation
study and complies with Florida Statutes by not creating an enclave and in fact it does eliminate an existing unincorporated Enclave the future land use amendment is necessary to assign a a town land use designation to the property in this case it's Inlet Village
flex and it's consistent with the surrounding land use designations as Alex showed the future land use map Amendment uh includes a voluntary trip cap to ensure consistency with the transportation element if there is interest in discussion of that trip cap
it would be during the motion on the future land use map Amendment the rezoning is required to be consistent with the assigned future land use map um in Village Flex South is consistent and is the zoning assigned to the surrounding
properties um including the town's uh Inlet Village Marina Park to North on the trip cap the applicant agreed to voluntarily cap uh the trips based on the maximum floor area ratio of the existing Palm Beach County land use
designation which equates to 463 trips uh trip caps have been set on the future land use map for three properties in the town parcel 19 which is a large p uh plan unit development out west the kushel property which was a residential
subdivision and River side 2 which was a commercial office condo development trip caps are a critical tool to take proactive steps to limit de uh development intensity in order to maintain A1A as a two-lane road and
maintain the level of service adopted in the comprehensive plan in the staff report staff provided a comparison of the trips based on the applicants traffic impact statement compared to the trips per acre estimated by the inlet Village traffic buildout management
sketch tool which was developed in 2016 by the town's traffic engineer the traffic impact statement is based on the maximum traffic impact under the highest realistic intensity allowable on the property not what the applicant intends to do at the property but The Highest
Potential the sketch tool was developed to help forecast how future development may impact traffic capacity in the area in order to maintain the two-lane configuration which is what's desired on a 1 a it also ties into the comprehensive plan Transportation
element policy 3.2.10 which states that the uh level of service capacity limitations throughout buildout should be considered when reviewing land use applications to ensure capacity remains to meet the goals objectives and policies of the
comprehensive plan um the sketch tool results in a much lower number of trips per acre and a lower number of trips for the 23 acre um subject property um then the
volunteer trip C based on the maximum F of the existing land use designation which is what's provided in the ordinance um no p uh no plan unit development or site plan has been submitted yet when an application is
submitted um for a plan unit development and a site plan a traffic impact analysis will be provided based on the actual proposed development at that time which from preliminary discussions is expected to have much lower trip um much
lower traffic impact than the uh proposed trip cap would allow regarding the certificate to dig the certificate to dig application has been submitted and will be processed um if that annexation is approved Stephanie Thor is here if you have any questions
on the certificate to dig regarding the tree removal issue any uh decisions on further mitigation for the removal of the tree will take place when the applicant decides to move forward with a a plan unit development and site plan
application so in conclusion based on upon the facts and findings contained in the staff report the department of Planning and Zoning finds the proposed annexation and the changes to the Future land use map and zoning map for the 2A
Acer parcel are consistent with the goals objectives and policies of the town's comprehensive plan if a trap trip cap is included with the future land use map ordinance to ensure Transportation element policy 3.2.10 is met with that I
can take any questions thank you I think I'll start since I probably know some history that my colleagues don't know um do you remember what the trip cap was on parcel 19 just roughly was it at like 900 and something or 9,000 and something
[Music] R yeah I don't have it on the off the top of my head but it's it's a high number okay but you know this trip cap is on a site that's 2
Acres mhm yes okay so um the applicant said that they're intended to do multif family residential use that's what I heard in the presentation I was just told that the
parcel 19 was number was 9,200 trips right but again going back so um so this application is for 0 2 acres and what's being proposed is a trip cap of 463 external trips correct which from
a residential is about 50 units right but it's based on floor area ratio I will not be supportive of this for my colleagues to know we've I was one to introduce trip caps we did parcel
19 and when it's a meaningful cap that you're trying to make sure you stay under we've even heard here you know that this is a cap so high that nobody's woring about going over it I don't know what the purpose of including it at this point in time um because as you heard um
again happen to be familiar about this is sketch tool A1A is a is a there's a level of service challenges on that road so when the applicant said that it will not impact adopted level of service it sure will if someone's going to try to shoor
in 457 trips on a 2 acre side um so I don't think there's any issues with just excluding it at this time adding a cap under the uh when we get to S plan but this would be I mean
in good conscious I could never agree to that I mean we're going to be giving away those kind of trips on a0 2 Acer site right the the trips on the site that's this small makes more sense to deal with that site plan than at the future land use
level mayor if you'd like us to provide additional analysis and comparison to other properties and provide that as part of second reading um we're happy to do that the one thing that I would note is that second reading is scheduled
March 3rd March 4th which will not give us enough time um to include that information so we'd have to push it back to the second meeting understand well I'm inclined to support it without any trip cap because to have a trip cap
that's so high that we would never approve it why would we bind ourselves to that right um and it's a and I just and I just want to make sure everybody heard when they were talking about a sketch tool our traffic engineer had developed that when we were uh we had
some pretty intense projects on in the on A1A in the inlet Village and we woring about making sure that we were managing what we were approving um so it's so it's unless staff had well on first reading I would suggest that that
just gets deleted any other questions I can support that that makes perfect sense getting rid of The Enclave makes sense everything else makes sense I did have a problem with the trip cap now was that trip cap for the0 2 Acres or the
combined parcel just for point two that's just on the point two cuz that's the only part that it does that makes zero sense for 0 2 Acres I don't know you could put a structure on 0 2 acre that would be zero or a couple bicycle trips but I'd be willing to support it
without that I agree that makes sense did you have any no okay any public comments no be seeing none uh return to council for um deliberation and I'll go
down I'll take a motion on uh ordinance 225 the volunteer annexation um I move to approve with the exception of the trip cap I second um i' ask Mr Barett to read
ordinance 225 on first reading an ordinance of the Town Council of town of Jupiter Florida providing for the voluntary annexation of a02 acre parcel of unincorporated land which is contiguous to the boundaries of the town of Jupiter providing for a revision to the town's boundaries to include the
parcel annexed and providing for an effective date have a motion in second and ordinance 225 all in favor signify by saying I I I I motion carries unanimously moving on to ordinance 325
on first reading I'll take a motion in a second this is the one that had the trip cap in it um this is a no-brainer a motion to approve as is excluding to be amended well excluding the the trip cap yes that's right so a second Motion in
second I'd ask Mr Barrett to read ordinance 325 on short title an ordinance of the Town Council town of Jupiter Florida amending ordinance 57 89 which adopted the town's comprehensive plan providing for an amendment to the Future land use map to assign a future
land use designation of Inlet Village Flex to approximately 2 Acres of property located at 1 18019 Highway A1A providing for severability providing for the repeal of laws in conflict and providing for an effective date have
have a motion of a second all in favor signify by saying I I I motion carries unanimously moving on to 425 zoning map Amendment uh I'll take a motion in a second so moved Motion in the second uh I'd ask Mr
bar to read ordinance 425 on short title an ordinance of the Town Council the town of Jupiter Flor amending the town's official zoning map which is incorporated by reference in section 27473 of the town code to assign the Inland Village District Flex South
subdistrict zoning District to a0 2 acre parcel of land located at 1 18019 Highway A1A providing for cability providing for the appeal of laws in conflict and providing for an effective date a motion in the second all in favor
signify by saying I I I I motion carries unanimously okay moving on to uh agenda item 11 uh resolution 525 Wendy's this is quas judicial do does uh Council have any expart disclosures yes I met with
the applicant today today and I have none uh will uh turn it over well will those members of uh the public uh the applicant staff
that may be given uh expert testimony stand and be sworn in do you solemnly swear that the testimony you're about to give in this hearing is the whole truth and nothing but the truth okay uh ask the applicant to make its presentation think that's the right
one good evening mayor vice mayor counselor Craig McDonald with corporate Property Services on behalf of Wendy's we're here to discuss the Wendy's at 626 West Indian toown Road right on the North Boundary of the municipal complex here1 see there we go got yeah I got it yeah
yep we're here request uh site plan amendment to remove and replace the existing non-conforming uh Wendy's restaurant with a drive-thru we're going to decrease U many of the existing site non-conformities we're going to enhance a vehicular and pedestrian access to and from the site
and the proposed restaurant will be open and operational from 6:00 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. Sunday through Saturday as it is today we're proposing to demolish the existing restaurant the dumpster the cooler freezer area that's out with the dumpster and we're going to remove the oneway uh in Access at the northeast
corner of the site we're proposing to construct a 2228 ft Wendy's restaurant with a drive-thru and for 480 Square ft of outdoor dining we're going to we provide enhanced contemporary architectural design that complies with all the ioz
design guidelines we're going to enhance pedestrian connectivity and safe sight safe on-site circulation we're going to drastically increase the landscape area on site we're going to go from 18.3 to 28.3 6 um we're going to add an addition
of an ADA connec to Indian toown Road where none exist today we're going to rework the curb cut off Indian Town Road and the curb cut at the southeast corner of the site so they're compliant um with today's current standards we're also proposing to provide um an Ingress
egress 25- fot Public Access easement that's going to connect Indian toown road to the town's Municipal um complex and we're providing a proposing a signed easement area for the town as well in the southwest corner of the site we will be reducing the daily traffic plus the
am Peak uh PM peak hour traffic the the site gets a little smaller the restaurant here's a site where we're talking on the demolition the 2,666 foot Wendy's restaurant there a big Square in the center we're going to remove um down on the bottom right is
the dumpster and the cooler freezer area that are together and then up in the right hand corner we're going to close that oneway in Access that exists today here's the carded landscape site plan that you can see we're adding a lot of landscape to this um we're also
provide a distinct and separate drive-thru Lane so as you know today with the current existing Wendy's if you're parked around the building you get blocked in by the drive-thru at times this is a pedestrian path we're proposing to construct a sidewalk that's
going to connect to the bus shelter and tie back into the town's Municipal complex and here's the 25 ft Public Access easement that's going to connect Indian toown Road into the town's Municipal
complex the dumpsters are located at the bottom of the site um they're fully concealed you won't see them at all from Indian Town Road which would um the the driveway at the top is one I was talking about we we rework that with fdot to bring it into compliance we're adding
Pavers at the at the road um entrance to and from and in the bottom right hand corner we're going to bring that into compliance too with today's engineering standards [Applause] this is the colored site plan and how it ties in to the town's Municipal complex
as you can see that driveway or 25 ft Public Access easement is going to go right from Indian Town Road and run all the way through the complex should be the main access point for people visiting the complex once it's constructed this is just a aerial
overview with the color site plan kind of shows you how we're going to tie in a lot the existing striping and on the town's property we're going to have a lot of pedestrian connection as well with with the town's property there and through the site um and into IND Town
Road for our own Ada connection to the building this just an overlay of an aerial showing how the site ties into all the surrounding properties Military Trail inding toown Road and Daniel's way these are the col's col elevations showing the enhanced architectural
design from what exists out there today we're adding Hardy siding uh standing seam metal roof uh Coral Stone um decorative roof finals and Earth Tone colors the building's going to really be a nice addition to what's there
today there's some uh renderings we got this is a view from Indiantown Road looking Southeast into the site you can see that'll be the entrance with all the pavs at Indi in town road for the um Ingress and egress to the site here's a view looking Southwest into the
site that's that car is entering in the main existing access that goes into the site now on the east side of Wendy's this is a view just looking towards the outdoor dining area in the East and North elevations This Is A View From the
southeast corner so you see the drive-thru um and the south and east elevations as well and all the enhancements with the architecture architectural Design This is a view of the East with all the landscaping and the outdoor dining
area this shows the uh drive-through lane from the northwest corner um so we've got again that distinct and separate drive-through Lane that does not block any of the parking on the site all the parking and the drive aisles are separate from the drive-thru this showing The Pedestrian
connection to the town's parking lot on the um south side of us and finally this is just an aerial view of the entire site you can see how that act 25 foot access easement ties back into the town's property in the the town's uh building that we're in there
right now I did want to say we agree with all the conditions um that were proposed in the in the staff report we're going to bury the power lines we're going to uh contribute to the median Landscaping we're asking for consideration of uh condition 7B um to possibly eliminate that that's to add
the decorative light pole which is not a code requirement um but there aren't any decorative light poles anywhere around the proposed project I know at the pnz board they brought up the idea of a precedent well I really don't think there's a precedent because in exchange for we're providing the town the 25-
foot public uh access easement as well as a signage easement so you know we're it's certainly not a everybody's not going to come in and ask for that when you know we're trying to provide something to you so we just ask for consideration to possibly eliminate that but everything else we're in full
agreement with and I'll be happy to answer any questions y'all might have thank you Goan staff good evening Council for the record G Watson with Planning and Zoning uh last month's Planning and Zoning commission meeting the commission voted unanimously to approve this
project um as the applicant mentioned they had made the request that night for deferment or for to eliminate the paint for the decorative street lights and the Planning and Zoning commission elected to maintain that condition within the resolution you have before you tonight
based on it being a long-standing precedent when those power lines go underground you have the wooden poles left over with the Cobra head street lights and what you may see on Indian Town Road in front of Walmart and and brayman BMW is those decorative street lights and that's part of that project
so the applicate mentioned it's not a technical code requirement but it's an aspect of meeting that code requirement that's been a long-standing precedent uh this project this site actually was previously approved for a site plan amendment to raise the whole site and and make some um significant
enhancements to the property back in 2017 that was really the first evolution of the Wendy's project this is represents the second evolution of that and there have been a number of benefits um this time around um that are new from the previous one um most notably that's
a formal entry into the municipal complex it was previously just a one-way uh it's a reduction in the number of vehicular conflicts on site between the drive-thru and parking it's an increase in landscaping on site more so than what was increased last time uh and it's also got a significantly more
drive-through stacking to reduce the instances of being stuck on a knee and Town Road trying to access the drive-thru during peak hour this application is consistent with the town code as well as a comprehensive plan as it relates to red developing non-conforming uses the code and the
comp plan lay out four key things for redevelopment of non-conforming uses and that is that there's no increase Beyond 10% which this is a reduction there's no increase in the number of stories which this is not this there's no expansion onto other properties which this project
is not expanding further into any other property and there's an elimination or and a reduction of nuisances and non-conformities as it relates to the dumpster there's a condition within the resolution that's a carryover from the previous approval and that states that if they're ever found
in violation which they have not been to date but if they're ever found in violation of odors emanating from the dumpster which would be a typical nuisance um they would have to come up with a dumpster odor mitigation plan now unlike other fast food uses that have
had a very similar condition this is not adjacent to residential so the risk is relatively low with who it might impact but that conditions in there for enforcement should it ever be needed and hopefully it it isn't as it relates to some Landscaping
conditions uh we have some conditions for buffer trees and Landscape median contributions that you heard the applicant talk about uh when it goes to Landscaping non-conformities the current site has a significant number uh right now the proposed project plans to eliminate the non-conformities as
relates to the buffers and the foundation planting those will be completely code compliant and the green spaces gets a significant Improvement up to almost code compliant at 28.4% uh there's a number of easements as it relates to this project as well um
the public access easement and the signage easement that you heard the applicant talk about those are easements for the benefit of the public they're going to create a much better Network much better entryway into the municipal complex and provide the town the ability to install wayfinding signage on their
property that will assist residents and customers in finding where where they need to go there's also a dumpster easement and that cross AIS easement and that signage easement I just mentioned took a significant portion of the western half of this property uh the
dumpsters were previously proposed over there but aesthetically speaking as well as just safety for the staff utilizing the dumpster across what may be a primary entrance into town hall um didn't seem to make much sense so those dumpsters were relocated South into
what's technically the town's Municipal complex albe it on an easement area that the town has already granted historically to Wendy's to use for other types of purposes so the establishment of this dumpster easement essentially offsets what's being given by the applicant for the cross AIS and the
signage easement and creates a much safer and aesthetically pleasing condition on site lastly there's a temporary construction easement as some of the improvements for Wendy's are on another easement that's given from the bank for Wendy's to utilize for
purposes there standard conditions as it relates to underground utilities and signage limiting the height to 7 ft as well as 90 Square ft and there's a new condition in here as it relates to the electronic menu board sign uh we found over the years that
this was something that was a desire of the community of fast food restaurants and there have been a number of changes over the years most significantly the maltz theater I'm sure you all are familiar with that sign out there um we learned that those signs can be static in nature and that the conditions that
are associated with this project were taken directly from that and that that's been working really well over the past few years and if implemented properly and with these conditions those signs can be made to be exactly like the existing mon board um mini board signage
uh you know we would limit the number of times they would change we would make sure that the images weren't fading or moving uh we would make sure that there was adjustable lighting levels and that they weren't facing residential so we could impose those conditions on this site to make that new electronic menu
board function just like the existing one um without all the issues of Maintenance and build do and things that are associated with the traditional method of that uh staff would note that if you find that acceptable and to utilize those conditions um that could be used
for other fast food restaurants there have been a number of them who have been requesting this for years um and this would be essentially used as well um for those applic ations uh if you all saw that that met the the code lastly I want to point you to um a strategic priority
we wanted to give you an update on a strategic priority that's currently in the 2025 adopted plan to secure the right of-way transfer agreement from Palm Beach County for the realignment of Daniel's way that actually started back when the original approval for Wendy's
occurred back in 2017 2018 but there have been a number of changing conditions we just wanted to make make you aware of um one is that you know the students don't utilize that lot anymore so it's less of a peak right when school lets out and it's more of a trickle um since that time we've also made a number
of Connections in the municipal complex to Daniels way with the development of the police department building which allowed for some cross connectivity between Daniel's way and Military Trail that didn't previously exist and then when these is one more changing condition they're adding that two-way
entry drive that you can see on attachment D that just highlights all of those connections from the municipal complex to Indian toown Road so we wanted to make you aware of those changing conditions and with that I'll go ahead and conclude and be happy to
answer any questions thank you well I have a couple questions I'll start with um can uh you really have staff but if you if the applicant pull up the site plan one of the site plans cuz just want to make
sure I think I understand it but I want to make sure the boundaries of the property owned by the applicant verses the town and I appreciate why in this unique case it was showing other property owners I have a question staff
yeah this one here so uh the property owned by Wendy's is basically more the rectangle correct that's correct the inner rectangle that you can see I'll try and highlight it here with the map right and then as so as you mentioned
the wider area because it just is encompassing work it's going to be done but effectively offsite but as part of this project correct and the in all of those areas where work is highlighted there are existing easements benefit of Wendy's that allow for landscaping
utility parking all those things that are common when you have a campus like atmosphere right so um one of the things that struck me and I'm grateful this this is we have a better line of sight now of the Town campus because since we
approved the first Wendy's one we have where the police station ended up in the New Town Hall so uh I I like uh the uh new driveway if you will uh but what troubles me is the uh the
sign easan we have is on the southwest corner shouldn't have be on the was corner and I'm asking that because actually I had made this comment before and I thought it was being worked upon is like here we have an
opportunity to create for the first time an access to the campus from Indian Town Road it ought to be the West one and it ought to be well signed you know so people know I mean right now I mean the way you come in
after w and and just it's terrible is where we ended up so uh do we have room to put a down sign I'm not trying to get the applicant to do it I'm just want to make sure the logical place for sign is on our property and we have the way to do
that absolutely mayor you bring up an excellent point well during the investigation of where a signage easement should go we had considered would we need any sliver in this area right here for Monument signage but the consensus of the signage group was that we had plenty of room we own the saniels way property and the property line is
right here that if we were to develop a monument sign we would likely do it in this area which is under the town's control and we could do a sign there yeah so again you were showing over further but really in the green area that's within the boundary of the scul of work is where this town sign would go
yeah it could go in this area here or it could go on the other side depending upon the design and how large we wanted to make it um but there's enough area left over there that we would have uh space to do that okay do can't have any issue with that it's not your property is I'd have is we have our sign that's
just on the east side of the driveway in the landscape area and we just asked that if you're going to put it there I mean somehow we work together so it doesn't block the visibility of of the Wendy sign that's the only resending sign we have out there the the wall signage it's it's kind of a unique building for what and while I understand
that it's important to me that if we're finally making a proper access to the site that we have a town sign so you know I'm okay with staff work working that out but I want a town Monument you know for the governmental Center you
know we we said that before we have one in military this one should be substantial um so I understand it have to be worked out the easement we just asked that we we work together so that we have visibility as well as you guys do
okay it's really the only question I have I'll go to my colleagues if you have any questions no questions um I've got a couple the if you could please bring up um one of your renderings it was from the uh southwest corner looking towards the
drive-through window right there oh back up one you see the car the gray sedan that's at the ordering area right now yes you've got a tree to the front and to the right of that about between their line of sight and The Pedestrian walkway
you think you can move that tree further to the West so while somebody's sitting at that sign they'll have a much bigger unobstructed view of the walkway because I see pedestrians going from the building back to the sidewalk that's on the west there exactly yeah we'd be
happy to work with you guys on that that's think that be good yeah just to give a because there that's a critical juncture right there between cars and people and people are ordering they're not going to be looking to the right once they're through ordering some people might not have it in them to look
to the right and they should because pedestrians going to be walking in front of them sure so if we could give as much of a heads up on on people looking there and are are you putting a sign there just the signage Legend was Tiny my eyes are terrible is there a sign there that
says watch for pedestrians coming from the right I have to look at the site plan but if we need to add signs pedestrian Crossing many time you've got pedestrians and cars coming together like that you've got an issue potential issue um I like that you've really uh
figured out the Ada entrance that's a big plus I'm surprised it wasn't there to begin with I'm very Pro Ada um entrance the um the signage this sign right here I guess is a good good as any
there are there any signage or uh pavement markings that show if you come in off of Indian toown Road how to get around the building to driveth through so people aren't turning to the left soon as they get in because it looks like yeah we've got signage striping on the ground showing the oneway arrow
right there when you come in you just can't see it that well on this one I can try to back what what year was this building the the original one built you know I want to say 82 possibly maybe it predates me here and I came here in ' 85 so yeah it's been here a long time it's it's tired and old it needs it's a tired building it's time yes sir Landscaping
looks good appreciate that um I think I that might be it for you I'm surprised about the color scheme you're not going to have red Wendy's that's that's a little odd said no just I get it um
could I ask what is the cost of the light I don't know you know the ask uh when Walmart did them they were about $5,000 uh a piece um that was when Walmart did them I mean one of the
reasons why we've been pretty consistent with it is because when we didn't have them put the light poles up and they had the Cobra lights and the wooden poles we discovered that utility providers would somehow put wires up on them after the
fact and it wouldn't have anything to do with the abing property owner it would just be that we would see wires that showed up and it it took us a it took engineering a significant amount of their staff time to get them back
underground and it didn't again it didn't have anything to do with it just showed up one day you know cuz they saw the poles and they saw no wires so that's why we've been consistent with um the light poles um being the new light
poles and eventually we'll we we we hope to come through and do a a street light program or something yeah I like them a lot I do like to um I think that's it thank you very much
question no um any public comments nobody here okay then back to the council for conversation and um sure so I support this project I think uh I'm really happy about the oneway um
entrance into Wendy's being eliminated on the other entrance to the campus uh we had talked about that when we looked at SIMS Creek Plaza and when you have such major Renovations just the number of entry and exit points onto Indiantown Road can increase congestion and
confusion so just the connectivity the flow of this space space is much improved um and will reduce conflicts I also like the spacing for the parking I've been to a number of um fast food restaurants with my kids where I will you know Park and then be stuck because
of the drive-through Lane and I can't you know you're stuck and until lunch is over or something it seems difficult to do so I do think that that's a benefit uh the connectivity with the campus is excellent I think I I think it's an excellent point with the sign on Indiantown Road um I think we need to
look at it comprehensively the signage plan for the municipal campus um but it sounds like we have a plan in place with our with our other property um and we can work to make sure that these things work together the two signs um I believe
we need to keep the light I do think it's a long-standing precedent and you know it'll help beautify we have a plan we have an overlay for Indian town so that's in keeping with that um and I'm really grateful for the Landscaping uh I I want to make sure
sure there's enough landscaping around the dumpster setting there um separating it from the campus uh but that is my only real concern so I'm grateful for the the flow the connectivity the space the landscaping and eliminating that one
entry point so thank you uh yes I too like the Landscaping looks good that was a very tired building there right now I'm very happy that this is getting replaced with something newer and I like the the architectural aspect of the structure it
looks really good um I like the Ada connections that's a good Kudo thank you for doing that um I'm sure it was required but I'm I'm glad you did a consideration for that I too like the lights and I'm kind of partial to that so hopefully you guys can dig it dig
into the pocket a little bit and come up with something for that light but otherwise I'm in agreement with it I don't see trip counts going down I understand how those are calculated that's a drive-thru so people are going to come there they're going to get in line whether this building's
2,000 or 3,000 ft doesn't matter but I understand you do the calculations based on square feet and that's how that works but in all reality I don't think trip Count's really going to go down but you're making the flow through here easier and you're making it easier for people to get there as pedestrians so in
that regard maybe we'll reduce some trip count so but I'm I'm for it in general so I um I'm grateful for the staff and the applicant working on working this out here I mean this is a project that's really bringing a significant public
benefit you know with the through driveway um I always come from the West it's a you know it's incredible you feel like you're making a hair pin turn to turn on the you know to turn just east of Wendy's and then you know you look
right ahead of you as the uh our Police Headquarters and it's not a it's not a good situation there either because we the stop signage you can't visibly see anybody coming and whatever so I want to make sure that every W every eastbound
driver wanting to come into the Town campus turns at the first opportunity never again the second right we all would want that which is why you know the signage has to be there I appreciate you know Wendy's not wanting to have their assign
blocked uh but this one's so important I like why he's want to settle for something less than we need on that sign that Monument needs to be done right so I don't know whether we just add a condition or something that that has to be worked out U but it's on our property
no I know it's on our property but I don't want I don't I want to make sure it's worked out early enough that if there's a site plan change for signage it's done right now we would hope it's all off site and and it the sign will be offsite but to the degree that they're
want to make sure that our intentions are given to them so we're not blocking their sign which I can't imagine happening but uh I like staff to work up you know some sketches or something on that and share that with Council as well as uh you know as well as the applicant
um so everybody knows our intentions for the sign because again that'll be a sign significant benefit for people to come more directly into the campus um and they might stop and get something to eat on the way out
yeah okay uh so uh with that uh I'll take a motion in a second uh motion to approve with all the conditions given by staff second motion is second on resolution 525 all in favor signify by
saying I I I motion carries unanimously thank you moving on to reports Town attorney thank you mayor I have no report Town manager thank you mayor um we'll make sure to uh have it on my to-do list to follow up on that sign and
we'll get that turned around to you fairly quickly um the other just a few things from uh my report uh first of all I met briefly mentioned it last at the last meeting but as a followup to an issue raised by Council four at a previous meeting Jupiter fire rescue
staff I've met with staff from the Jupiter Lighthouse and have determined two locations for two new uh aeds at the Lighthouse uh one AED will be installed in the back building which houses the Museum and Gift Shop and the second AED will be
installed at the restroom building that's located at the foot of the lighthouse um the jfrd staff has purchased the ads which will be installed later this week and we have division Chief Tim Ros over here with us he's taking this project on and in
addition to all of this um happen to be standing in the lobby the other day and and talking to some residents and another resident came up to me to compliment the chief on his CPR classes he was given over there and taking the
time to meet with them and so thank you Chief we appre we appreciate that um of course last week um the town celebrated the opening of five new crosswalks enhanced crosswalks that the uh that the council has requested and
the upcoming completion of the six these crosswalks are part of our strategic initiative aimed at increasing pedestrian safety in town and these uh six locations now bring the town's total to eight new crosswalks so um so you
know we took a little bit longer than anticipated but we've gotten it done and um just want to report that out to you um the Jupiter Police Department continues to monitor traffic on Riverside Drive at alternate A1A hopefully counselor you've seen a pretty big difference there um Chief Barbara
Barbara recently shared that we are seeing minimal violations of vehicles stopping on the tracks and traffic is running smoothly since the change to the no stopping on track sign but we'll continue to monitor that um of course this signage is needed as part of the
town's application for quiet zones and jpd will continue to monitor the intersection and uh educate motorists on the safety concerns of stopping on the tracks uh at all our Railway Crossings and the the means of Education varies
from driver to driver um of course you also know that last weekend we had the Jupiter Jubilee 100th anniversary I I can't say enough about the team that worked on that and the committee that put that together it was about a year and a half in the making and uh and I
could tell you I was so proud of them because everything from start to finish was done it just excellent so we received a lot of compliments from residents from attendees and we had about 4 or 5,000 uh people there uh so
it's quite the turnout and then uh finally just a reminder that we have the groundbreaking for two new Jupiter fire rescue Department fire stations the first being squiz station this Thursday at 300 p.m. and then the second is our
uh pyot station uh and that is scheduled for Friday morning at 10:00 a.m. and as uh just a note on the syquest station as promised to the residents there the very first thing we're working on is that road connection that they that is very important to them and we'll have that
done uh before we do any of the uh other major site work there so um that's it mayor that's my report rce mayor I just want to say thank you to everyone involved with the 100th anniversary and the Jubilee I do think
that the campus is the best place for it given the crowds you don't feel um as I mean we weren't as tightly packed as we might be at Abacoa Plaza and I was grateful for um the shade that the buildings offered that you could go indoors and Outdoors as you pleased um
so it didn't feel too crowded it had a lot of options so it was wonderful and the food options were great too so and the circulation and parking so very well planned executed thank you um I also just want to draw attention for anyone here or for anyone who visits Our Town Hall campus I just recently noticed the
display case in our hallway um this has to do with a time capsule that we found when we demolished the Old Town Hall so we found a time capsule that had all of these old documents photos badges that a previous Council had put together
they're now on display in our town our new town hall here in the corner as you're exiting so I hope you'll take a minute to just take a look at some of our history um I found it fascinating I'm glad that it's all on display now um and that's it so thank
you I want to thank you for the aeds and the effort you put into that thank you very much thank you Chief I hope they're never used it's like sprinkler system you get it working perfectly and then it rains you don't need it so thank you thank you for that effort um just from my own
physical perspective those stairs going up those stairs can be something so that's a challenge that's going to be a a coronary challenge for a lot of people thank you thank you for your effort just um a few items following up
uh Mr Kito on the two items you talked about so the nine the eight Duke crosswalks that were up to what are left to finish phase one I want to just get my numbers right here if you give me just a second mayor
I'll pull up what I have CU that is a exciting and yep so so far we've completed uh South lockah hatry at 6th South lockah hatry at lockah hatchee at 8th Tony Penna at uh
Jupiter village community pool Maplewood Drive at Pinewood Trail South Old Dixie Highway near the Jupiter Medical Center and we still have pending palmfield way between Coco Lane and Via Rosen I thought there was a couple more that we
were contingent on FPL power or something I think that's that's the last one there at palmfield so that brings the total to what to uh total that we have is um eight I believe that's what uh that's what Stafford put out I thought one time there was 10 though
okay eight uh I'll double check on that last two you're you're right I seem to recall something with fpnl on the power on the yeah I think there maybe two more Yep um that we're going to get done whatever a month later whenever uh and then on inquest Park you said this in
the past I just I I thought and I want to confirm so the phase one to address residents was not just the road but was also Landscaping correct correct so we worked with the community to develop a landscaping plan and so um we've map
that all out and uh and so we'll follow through on that and especially um you know uh along uh the main road there as you go in and then uh but the the primary piece that they were really interested in um is the road that cuts
through so they can use the traffic signal on the opposite side Y and you reported that before no I'm just grateful that uh you know staff as always recognizes serving public first residents and by doing that phase
first um including Landscaping because then they're already going to be buffered even doing construction you know from so thank you for that I just want may i' just been told that uh the um the other crosswalks are on Main Street and University at Greenway and
those are the ones that we waiting on FP so I bring it up to 10 right yep correct okay um and then um I want to just add what vice mayor uh sunstrom indicated you know that time capsule display what struck me about it is even just
the what's even housed in captures your attention you know it it's a delightful present you know presentation of the capsule content so thank you I like that is that unnown toally nobody knew about it it was
thankfully the construction guys stopped it could have been just trash and no one who had ever gotten it you know ironically mayor when you look at the in the newspaper that they put in the um in the capsule if you look on page three
there's a story about that time capsule but I think they neglected the put something outside of Page Three Y and so we were very fortunate to find it and then just lastly on the Jupiter Jubilee 100y year anniversary um you know I know you've
indicated staff was working on it for a year and a half anded shows it was just incredible um everybody there's nobody I talked to that wasn't excited about that event who was there and and it just was really special so I'm so grateful to
staff and even you know the business participation uh Mr marry was talking about the little pamphlet or whatever but the business participation and excitement and participating in the year-long celebration that's you know that's a
community relations department you know getting all that we don't have to do I don't have to do anything it's done and I'm grateful for that um so uh again I just it was I've been everyone you know uh every one of
the jubilees and um this one was just incredibly you know Head and Shoulders above any other ones and all the other ones were good too but thank you very much to staff I know they put a lot of work into that I'll pass that along May and if I could two other points on that I'd never seen a th000 cupcakes so you
know we had a th000 cupcakes there and I really enjoyed the friendly competition between the fire department and the police department over their kids displays um so I'm sure there'll be more to come for that next year as well I'm sure yep so uh thank you I'll pass along
your compliments to the uh to the team I heard the police wanted to invite the fire uh Department uh professionals to do the obstacle course but just that's what I had [Music] heard okay uh with that the time is now
8:43 and we'll adjourn the meeting [Applause] oh yeah I know
