114,225 foot building in the mixeduse zoning district and village center overlay this property is located at 701 Old Dixie Highway to Quest of Florida 33469 chair both this item and the next are applications these are quasi judicial hearings so that said if there's anyone
present here this evening who plans to give testimony regarding either of these items I need to swear you in so if you could please stand and raise your right hand do you swear or affirm under penalty of perjury in the laws of the state of Florida to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth
very good you may be seated at this time I'll also ask members of the board to give any exparte communication disclosures uh that you may have had with the applicant for application SPM0125 none none okay okay very good you may proceed on
this application okay and is the presenter meg okay i am here okay we're having some technical difficulties with the presentation can't maximize it welcome to my
access we can look at it i might be able second so we are going to be looking at 701 Old Dixie Highway which is futures recovery and rehab this has been going on since 2012
it's the same project what they're going for right now is they're asking for a roof color change and material change currently what's on the building is a barrel tile kind of like a light green color and this is what they would like
to transition to antina Tropical is what it's called um one of the things that I really wanted to show you there you go so the site location everyone's familiar with it just north of Village Boulevard
proposed scope of work since 2012 highways and operating this future recovery in healthcare the applicant is requesting a site modification to change the material and color of the roof the proposed scope of work impacts no changes on parking no changes of use and
this is limited to an exterior aesthetic this request qualifies as site plan modification pursuant to 2253A authorizing the plan board to provide recommendation to village council village council will consider the board recommendation and their final
decision here again current site conditions this is the proposed rendering we have materials and color all right on the left you're going to see the current material and color and then on the right you see the proposed So this is one of the things that I
wanted to show you these images are if you are heading south on Old Dixie and then looking towards the project um the landscaping is very lush there you really can't see the building you can't see the roof as you continue down south it gets even lusher
and then the view from Village Boulevard facing north again you can see the landscaping plan there on the bottom you get to see a little bit more of the elevation but again the project is heavily landscaped criteria for review you'll be looking at harmony with other buildings harmony with surroundings
facade methods of design inappropriate building styles garish design exterior forms and the use of symbolic colors um as we discussed this site plan modification is limited to exterior aesthetics maintains the use and scale of property and requires no additional
parking and follows the review and approval process outlined in village code thank you for your time do you have any questions regarding the project okay yes i just like to give you a little bit of
history of this property going back to the 1980s okay well the late 80s early 90s when this property when it came in front of planning and zoning when we first
started it was approved this building was approved to be an assisted living facility and then all of the empty property that is to the north were to be town
homes okay you're shaking your head so you know the history and then it it went defunk so it sat there and then they came in and they they revitalized the whole thing and they didn't do you know
they didn't do the buildings but that's but I'm pretty sure all of the infrastructure for all of the sewers and everything and the water is still underground for all of those town homes i mean it was really quite interesting and it was very controversial then way
back then because people didn't want an assisted living here it's interesting so so it went from assisted living to it then they went to funk and then it sat there as vacant and then they came in and they purchased it and
then they made it a rehab facility so no assisted living anymore in there no I don't think it ever was it never was it was a vacant building it just sat there it was interesting when I saw this and I'm like "Oh okay now I'll give you a
little history lesson." So is the change mostly just for insurance right going to a metal roof metal roof if you'll state your name and address for the record please sure good evening i'm Omar Kamal i'm the executive
director at Futures um of operations um and my my residential address or business address 701 Old Dixie Highway okay uh to Questa so um this is being driven by futures not driven by
insurance uh the roof has suffered many many damages over the years and basically we're at that point we're just patching you know those damages and uh you know the owner uh Mr gary Holloway he wanted to just redo the whole thing
from an aesthetic standpoint and obviously for safety reasons so okay okay and I agree with you i mean the the parcels are still sitting out there for that were meant to be town homes eventually probably in a couple years
we'll be back before you here just to we are looking to actually um build a couple buildings out there i think Jay is familiar with that case i think we sp we we spoke a couple years ago about that okay well you could tell Gary Halloway i haven't seen him for over 15
years but tell him I said hello i will i sure will thank you he's a very good gentleman thank you yes okay any more board questions for this is Jason Aramuro this is the GC so he's going to be taking point on on the project okay
pass it every day and we all do we all go to public we all go to public and base everything okay we can open the floor to public comment no comments okay closing the floor to public comments are there any
more board comments i will make great i do too yeah it'll be it'll be nice yeah the old one looks so faded and Yeah fading faded more always happy to see it i'll make a motion to approve oh a
recommendation recommendation recommendation recommend i'll second it okay so we have a motion on the floor to recommend approval of SPM01-25 um all in favor i okay any
opposed okay it motion passes thank you gentlemen thank you so much ready for number two we are ready for number two and once again I'm going to ask the board if you have any have had any expporte communications with the applicant related to application 0225 no
no okay thank you okay so agenda item number three is SPM02-25 application from application from Tam West Realy Inc for a minor site plan modification for new paint colors on existing buildings
equaling 107,597 square feet in the C2 zoning district and the US Highway 1 overlay this property is located at 50027 US Highway 1 to Quest of Florida right here
spread around [Music] plaza site modification 0225 here is the location of the site it's just west of US1 and again north of
Village Boulevard i would like to take a moment and go over the history and recent approvals that are associated with this site oops same thing so I think they're all just for everybody i'm sorry go ahead it's okay last year the applicant came with a
new color scheme proposal and it was approved by the planning and zoning board with two conditions the applicant was required to address the color of the roof within six months of painting completion and an updated master sign program was required within six months of the painting completion
later the same year the applicant came back and they expanded upon the original approval by introducing additional colors modifying some locations and they included the painted roof to satisfy the roof color condition set forth in SPM
0124 the master sign program condition remains in effect for SPM 0424 currently SPM0424 is the governing document for this site so here is the initial submittal
you've got a kind of gray tone five colors here again this was approved with the master sign program to be updated and the roof here is their next submission we've upgraded to six colors there were some differences in the location uh this one satisfies the first
condition regarding the roof the second condition regarding the master sign program stays so currently this property does have a permit open stucco paint permit it was pulled by Billo Construction scope of work as listed on the application includes paint and stucco
elevations approved with the permit reflect the color scheme authorized in SPM224 so this is your current color approval and these are your current conditions and here is the new proposed
side by side i love it i I I see the sign but I don't see the diner that the diner is going to yes I think the diner's included too is it somewhere in here it's in Hold on it's in here it's It's in
here designer is in here i do have So here's the proposed color key um previously it was more gray tones this is more of like a neutral beige some of these colors are captured in the re like in the previous approval the linen ruffle and the delicate white
yeah yes um the previously approved colors okay and now I have a bunch of renderings for you so here is your approval here is your current and proposed here is your approve and
approing current versus the proposed the approval versus the proposed this goes on for a while so I'm gonna It's a better color as much as I liked the gray but this is it makes it so much cleaner
very true remember though take a look at So the Publix has the the color with the shutters so so don't just look at the public's view look at the whole the whole shot as well because you've got all of the others i mean and and then you have the galley
well it's in here yeah it's in our stuff yeah the diner no what do you mean by the galley is that um the um Hold on it's the There you go oh yeah that shows Yeah
right there so much better it is much better oh boy what a difference and the amazing part is is I've been watching as they've been fixing the structure and patching it and I'm like my goodness it really it's
really weathered a lot since as soon as you got to paint you find all those cracks well no but I mean you know but but where Rico's was where that overhang was like there was a couple of the stuff that was falling down and thank God when it fell down and nobody was underneath
it so yeah we were very fortunate so so it's a much better color lots of these comparisons for you but criteria for review you're going to be looking at harmony with other buildings harmony with the surroundings and facade methods of design inappropriate building styles
garish design exterior forms and the use of symbolic colors so this is a minor site plan modification for section 2253B this enables the planning and zoning board to grant final approval on aesthetic modifications to exterior building color or finish when not accompanied with any other site plan
modification so your decision will be the final decision okay do you have any questions uh the roof color the roof color will remain red yes there is no that Well that's not painting it no
that's fine right now yeah and then the um the color scheme for the signs will be red as well red uh for the signage I think the signage is is the property of the tenant so it's hard for them to change it so
that whatever the color is right it seems like we sign program yes a master sign program yeah the SPM 424 had the condition that the master sign program needed to be updated right um the sign program that is currently in place is older um some of the items that are
called out out in it are antiquated it's not what people use anymore um with this submission of colors with this submission with the gray tones and blues the board felt more confusing i feel that the board
felt that it needed to be updated to be more in line with those tones yeah okay this new proposal does not touch the master sign program at all but it is something that you are you can ask the applicant about okay okay and then
that's something we did didn't we have that has to be done in the future um we we were still didn't we require a if a master sign program was to be required to be updated it would not be done in one foul swoop the program would be updated and then the tenants as they
came and go came and went yeah okay the condition said that within six months of completion they would then come back with that with that updated sign yeah right okay sign program okay yes okay that's what I was thinking was it still has to be done in other words if you
move forward with what they're proposing right now they have no conditions for a roof or for the master sign program if you'd like to discuss that with the applicant now would be the time okay so okay what they're basically doing is
they're making it a lighter color to make it making their present signage more conducive with the colors so that the tenants don't have to change the signs whereas if they went with the other color um they had to change the
signs so it's up to us as to whether or not we want them to update the signs so J I'm sorry and this is the time that we do it please correct me if I'm wrong but nobody would be forced to change their signs at this time well no it's only as
the tenant leaves or or something breaks and then they have comes in but the reason they're doing this is not to avoid that sign condition they're doing it because they they prefer this new color scheme okay that makes sense well it seems like we did have the condition that they have to come back
with the new master sign program and then that still is true correct it is not part of you would have to will redo the exhibition that was true for the prior yes all right because that you know because I thought that's how they were trying to
get rid of it so we could make that part of the motion that they come back and meet the requirements for the new signage when a new tenant or the signs break or something need to be okay i remember one of the
reasons from last time was related to harmony with the Dunkin Donuts i definitely do feel like this color palette is I mean it's so neutral it probably does feel better with the Dunkin Donuts facility oh most definitely oh yes absolutely i just
think the Dunkin Donuts could Dunkin Donuts is a franchise they're not changing their colors or their logo well and you got Starbucks also it's an outer you've got Starbucks that was going to be one of my questions the color of Starbucks is this light
color anyway it's more in this green so it's more harmonious with the Starbucks oh definitely chase bag as well yeah you just have to like drive around a little you know not just go to Publix or Jersey Diner but just drive
around a little and see what's I'm sorry i get nosy sometimes just to see A lot of buildings are going white and cream so that's my only concern but they do still have the depth by having the taupe so I feel like at least it's not going to read as just one
i don't know why okay okay are there any more questions for Meg but um I I would like to make a motion oh we have to Oh we have to open it to the public open okay we're open for public comments marie would you please
come to the podium and state your name and address for the record please sure marie Superior um I live in the country club i think this is a better palette than the previous one um so thank the applicant for that um I really like the
blue um and I would strongly encourage including the sign program as part of it and I would ask the applicant um through the board to um please strongly encourage your your res your um tenants
to go with blue for their sign some variety of blue because I think you're working with a nice you're working with the coastal colors and so if we could bring in some more of the blue I think it would really look nice on in addition to getting away from the plastic the
raised time so I'd like to just for ideas um the Gallery Grill Plaza their signs pop out or they are 3D I guess I should say but not plastic um and then with either I really dislike the see-through plastic back lit or not
quite see-through plastic back lit and I would like to see the village generally get away from that so um that would be those are are my comments um I really encourage the master sign plan and to the extent we can put a thumb on the scale of blue or blue or greens I guess
um preferably towards the blue since you got the blue blue awnings i think that would be great thank you thank you thank you and um any more public comment okay we're closing the floor to public comment any more board comments i totally agree if you you were talking a
little bit slower I I would have been able to take notes but I agree with the and I agree with what you said totally good idea okay i I would like to make a motion that they come back you know as new
tenants or the signs with to go back to the original one where they have to come back with the sign pallet um change the signage and make everything like the blue color because I think that that would be really stunning i do too but is
that just a suggestion it's a suggestion it's a suggestion because you have to do mockups you have to see how it all looks together you have to Yeah have to play with colors so would it would your proposed condition retain the same language as the prior one yes applicant
must return within six months of project completion with an updated master signage plan right thank you staff has heard you and we'll work with them to make it have a blue palette so that when it comes to you it'll it'll fit that i I I really you know that blue palette is
just beautiful it's very stunning so but are you recommending or are you are you saying you want to approve i I'm making a motion to approve to to to prove with the condition of the um what we did prior for the signage after six months
of completion of the project okay have a we have a motion okay and Okay so uh we have a motion to to recommend or to approve SPM- or Z
02-25 with the expectation that they come back within six months of completion with an updated um master sign program would that be the expectation or recommendation no they will have to come back we have
to come back we We're not choosing colors we're just Okay that will be up to them but Okay um all in favor i I any opposed okay motion passes thank you it'll
really be pretty when are you painting you did tomorrow tomorrow we're ready to go we're ready to go i years ago in the 80s in 2020 for many years back
um the original sign approval was I was the original property manager for 15 years and um unfortunately things didn't work out with Sandy and I stepped back in to help out i'm very happy that you all like
we're ready to go we're ready we're ready to Yes yes you can tonight everything with me i'm ready thank you wishing you the best
any staff comments yeah I just want to do just a quick follow up on that mobility plan we talked about and I sent you guys some stuff so Meg can you pull up that um that map that's there so this is an interactive map that you can go in and put comments in we've got I think we
have 28 or 30 comments already we've also got tons of comments from in-person meetings and we're going to have some other ones um but I'd love to pick your brain so the floor is yours throw it any suggestions ideas thoughts you have on
ways to improve mobility point out issues maybe of concern safety kitchen sink um I do have uh one and I'm not uh not sure where it falls
but on um the one they're working on right now uh supposedly maybe the next phase is where it it hooks up goes around that um basin and it would hook up to Riverside Drive there's the uh sidewalk is on the far
side of the street so people would have to cross Riverside Drive it's there's a curve you know there's no sidewalk on the park side and and it's it's just a little kind of dangerous if people are trying to run across the street and I
don't know if there can be a a crosswalk or some lights or something to so people can get from where the sidewalk is across that street because it is on a curve well it's very curvy that's one of our biggest issues we have a lot a real shortage of crosswalks we've already identified many locations um and our
consultants you'll be happy to know have already identified that area as a great opportunity to create almost kind of like a greenway between the is it Jackson what's it called the Jackson River Pines Riverfront kind of all along there through Riverside and then you can also connect into Remembrance Park yeah
through Riverside exactly yeah so we're we're looking at ways too to connect because there's phase two of of Remembrance Park that that's kind of in talks right now but ways that you'll be able to that we could do even just a temporary access into Remembrance Park until that's done so we are looking at
that there's so many so many walkers on Riverside Drive and I'm sure a lot of them will now use that but it's just it's a curvy road and it's just kind of scary so it'd be nice to see something a crosswalk with some light so people are a that it's there
good one i have Thank you um after our last meeting I don't know if you saw it but going down to Seabbrook there were three kids with electric bikes and the police officers had pulled them aside and were talking to them and I'm like I want I wanted to honk my horn and give
them a thumbs up i mean you know because there's a couple of them that are still riding their electric bikes in the middle of the street of Seabbrook and you're driving and they really don't give a damn you know and and if you I
will say this if you see them without a helmet on please call our police department the village manager and I were sitting over at Gallery Grill the other day and we saw kids with the the helmet on the bike so a common thing they they tell the parent the parent says take your bike um take your helmet
with you and they say "Oh sure." And then they just put on the side of the bike so we called the PD they came out right away and said "Put your helmet on." And they're going to start ticketing so if you see someone doing that or anything crazy please call our police department could you please help me with golf carts why would a person
put a car seat on the back of a golf cart and drive down the road zebra what do they have drive me crazy infants we're not even a golf course community we're not and and the other thing that's aggravating me is on
US1 I mean and I was a big advocate for all of that bike path but the other morning there were like no it was last it was last weekend there were at least 30 bikers and they were six people
they're not taking They were taking the bike lane and the first lane and you had to go around them i'm like really there's nothing you can do about road bikers it's they're all over Beach Road i know you you know it go and they get
hit but they're arrogant if you saw me I know i know because we we used to run on you know but I mean it's like bikes you know it's it's like an education of of people just for
common courtesy you know and because I mean God forbid if I should hit somebody I mean I mean you know well I saw a golf cart just this past weekend and it had the big orange sign on the back and it reminds me required to Yeah of the Amish country i think that's a requirement so
so that's actually a low-speed vehicle so those those are different than golf carts if you if you have a low speed vehicle it's got lights it's got it's street legal it's got blinkers um seat belts yeah license plates seat belts you can drive it not this exact same as a
car but you can drive them faster than a golf cart but still the golf carts I just can't I can't fathom putting children on the back of them you took a turn you lose the car seat and the kid but what is the law on the electric
bikes i mean what really is it can they drive on the road no they're not can they drive on sidewalks this which is what they do on Beach Road they fly down the sidewalk the village a few years ago maybe it was a year ago had a an
ordinance passed where where they want the ebikes to actually be on the on the street on the sidewalks not the street and people are walking on the street i know but they feel better the police department the the village council felt better about them being on sidewalks than on the street well yeah because
they're majority of them are 95% of them are children that are on that are on the bike and and then again they don't they're going down they don't care about they think it's a motorcycle or think if they're really Yeah we've seen them like pop the
wheelies and stand on the seat and and they don't care they'll look at you and you're behind them and they just keep going they don't even care that's on my street too because they just think you know it's like I wish the police would take a zero tolerance yeah they're doing they're doing a
they're doing a lot our police department is is doing a lot i mean they they were already doing a lot but but since the Jupiter issue they're they're they've ramped it up even more um I they're on our street because that's where the police aren't so like the police are definitely very active and the kids are aware so I think it's just
staying on it and you I can see that it's making a difference even in our neighborhood how kids are behaving in the helmets right so I appreciate the kids were going through our neighborhood and the one kid said "The cop saw me and there came the cop." They did take
it up in Jupiter we all know but we have not we had No we had a we had a meeting with our at the last workshop with our police department where they talked about ebikes there really wasn't much public concern because everyone went to the
Jupiter thing um and I don't know that Jupiter really took any real action i haven't seen you know I I live very close to where that accident happened and they were nuts for about a week their police were everywhere and I haven't seen them since then they've they've gone right back
majority of the time now I don't I I don't see two people on an on an ebike i only see one person that's the other thing i think that's that's the other thing to talk to people about the the kids that crashed were tandere were tandem on a bike and you can only have
two on a bike if there's actually two seats on the bike if you see two kids or I see three sometimes again do not be afraid to call the police department because our police department is also tracking how many calls they get on ebikes they're they're someone's probably furious that I'm
saying call the police department all the time but but they they are tracking it and and um I think they had something like 90 calls last year oh no um or in the past year calendar year um but but if but yeah but but and just talk to parents about it that's a big thing from
what I hear too a lot of people have started removing or taking away their kids ebikes they didn't realize how fast they could go so talk to your friends talk to talk to you know people that have kids and educate them well the only thing that I would be concerned about calling the police about is like if I
file a complaint then the parent can say "Who filed this?" And then they come banging on my door why'd you report my kid so I'd be less likely to call the police because I don't want their angry parents coming to my door upset with me so I don't I don't know that you have to file a police report i think you can
just call the non the non-emergency line but isn't it you can call the non-emergency line and just you're not Well they've got my number when I call i have been Everybody has your number well all of our numbers i believe I believe
you i believe you were safe from that because otherwise No yeah i don't think you're I mean I'll double check with with people but I don't think that your information can get back to if you call the police right so if you call if you called in and said reported on a murderer they
wouldn't say "Oh yeah it was it was Leslie Dasher that's the narc on this murder." They're not going to put that out in the public right so okay that's that's the only thing that would stop me is because I'd be afraid some of these angry parents that just want their stupid kids out of the house and you know not in their hair so
I don't want to drive you anywhere most of my feedback like and I've been trying to do it in the app and I've struggled i think it's my phone i see a lot of people are putting crosswalk signs kind of where the places I think of crossworks crosswalks being problematic like toqua and US one is problematic right like you got to cross this right
across that way and you know like the where they're trying to do wild flowers i get it but it's it is not a great intersection especially with the train so like that whole area is not walker friendly no and then now that there's the Barnes & Noble across the street too like maybe additional crosswalks to get
into that plaza over there like there's there's more draw in that plaza than there used to be yes there's no midblock crossings on on US1 so there's only crosswalks at the main major intersections but there's not a what's called a midblock crossing so they we've already identified or whatever you
wherever you would put it yeah yeah well it still wouldn't hurt to put a traffic light at Village Boulevard US one but you know that's not going to happen we've been trying to do that for the last 30 years so yeah that's that comment has been made and right I think
the county or FDA did a study so many um deaths at that intersection so that's what it is count well a certain amount of trips too so they have to have a certain number of trips and
That's the only way you can get it well thank you thank you thank you very interesting okay and if we're any any anything else for we No okay if we're ready to
public I don't have a comment i just have a question when is the next phase of the What's the timeline for the mobility plan yeah so there's there's still going to be another public outreach event i I don't even want to put out what I'm
trying to do i'm trying to do a bike ride event with the kids i We're trying to do something like that where we'd have like a a really fun little like event an educational thing and then also do some ask the parents for feedback at the event um but we're trying to we're trying to think of the best way to do
that or maybe at like a remembrance park grand opening um because the last one we did was at the food truck night and we got like phenomenal response um so we want to have it at at some sort of event not just like a standalone night because people you get six people to show up and
it'll be it'll be you guys um so so there's that and then um there'll be some reporting back to council um kind of about like the the the preliminary findings and then they'll start kind of compiling it into reports
so it's it it's going to be still over the next couple months okay still some more opportunity the feedback phase is still over the next few months yeah we're still doing feedback and and this stuff i mean if if you have people in your social networks tell them send them to that map and and tell them to put the feedback in we've got an article in
smoke signals um that's I think it's going to be the front page uh of it so we're going to get some good good feedback hopefully okay i just have one actually comment on I don't know if you have anything on Cypress but it'd be nice if we're going to be able to walk more to be able to walk down Cypress i
discussed that at the thing but um there are no sidewalks i know we can't put them in but trying to make some sort of buffer between people walking and the cars coming cars that are going down up and down Cyprus would be I think good
especially as that area turns over and becomes more of a place where people want to go to cool i think I mentioned that before but great idea thank you okay thank you Marie um if we're ready to adjourn I'll make a motion i'll
second it okay all in favor i Okay we are adjourned okay happy Easter week
