I CAME I'VE ONLY BEEN A RESIDENT FOR ABOUT A YEAR.

I MOVED THERE BECAUSE OF THE OPEN SPACES, KNOWING THIS DEVELOPMENT WAS COMING BUT NOT SURE OF WHAT IT WAS GOING TO BE.

I'VE BEEN TO A COUPLE OF THE MEETINGS.

I CAME TO THE MEETING SIX, EIGHT MONTHS AGO OR WHATEVER.

WHEN YOU DISPLAYED THE MODELS OR THE PICTURES OF THE MODELS THAT WERE GOING TO BE BUILT.

AT THAT TIME, IT WAS SPECIFICALLY STATED THAT THE TWO STORY UNIT WAS JUST AN OPTION.

THEY WERE GOING TO BE BUILT ON BASICALLY A ONE STORY UNIT AND SOME MIGHT HAVE TWO STORY, BUT IT WAS MINIMAL.

THE WOODLANDS IS A ONE STORY DEVELOPMENT.

THERE'S SOMETHING LIKE SIX HOUSES IN THE WHOLE PLACE THAT ARE TWO STORY.

I THINK IT WAS A STATED SOMEWHERE BY SOMEONE THIS MORNING THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO MAINTAIN THE CHARACTER OF THE AREA.

WELL, THE AREA IS A ONE STORY AREA AND NOT A TWO STORY.

I THEN HEARD THAT THE TWO STORY UNITS WERE GOING TO BE CONCENTRATED, BUILT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TERMINOLOGY WAS IN SECTION G, WHICH IS WHERE I LIVE.

I LIVE IN G. IT'S INTERESTING.

THEY'D PICK THAT PLACE TO BUILD THEM BECAUSE THAT MEANS THAT HAVING BUILT THAT TWO STORY MESS ACROSS THE OTHER SIDE OF ROCK ISLAND ROAD, THEY WANT TO NOW TO BUILD ANOTHER TWO STORY MESS ON MY SIDE OF ROCK ISLAND ROAD.

I THINK THAT IT'S UNNECESSARY TO PUT TWO STORY UNITS IN THERE IF THEY DON'T SELL TWO STORY, I'M SURE THERE'S STILL ONE STORY.

IT'S UNNECESSARY BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC IT'S GOING TO ADD.

I AGREE WITH THE WOMAN WHO STATED EARLIER THAT THERE ARE THREE CARS PER HOUSE.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS DRIVE DOWN THE OLDER SECTIONS AND SEE THE HOUSES THAT HAVE ONE CAR GARAGES WITH TWO CARS OUTSIDE.

IT'S A TRAFFIC PROBLEM.

THEREFORE, I WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD CONSIDER ASKING THE.

CITY PLANNERS, I GUESS IT IS, TO TALK TO THE DEVELOPER ABOUT NOT PUTTING IN TWO STORY UNITS.

WE REALLY DON'T NEED THEM.

THEY'LL HAVE NO PROBLEM SELLING ONE STORY UNITS.

THE HOUSING MARKET IS GOOD.

IT'S BOOMING. SO WE DO US A FAVOR AND BUILD THE SMALLER HOUSES.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT.

AT THIS TIME, WE WILL CLOSE THE FLOOR TO PUBLIC HEARING AND PUBLIC COMMENTS AND WE'LL TAKE QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD.

THANK YOU FOR SIGNING IN.

DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? A FIVE MINUTE BREAK.

SURE. DO WE WANT TO TAKE LONGER THAN A FIVE MINUTE? HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU THINK WE NEED? DO YOU WANT TO DO THE LUNCH AT THIS TIME? MAYBE 30 MINUTES.

OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO BREAK FOR LUNCH FOR 30 MINUTES AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO GET THE WEBSITE.

APPARENTLY THE WEBSITE'S NOT WORKING PROPERLY, SO WE'LL GIVE THEM TIME TO FIX THE WEBSITE AND THEN WE'LL GRAB LUNCH AND COME RIGHT BACK.

30 MINUTES. THAT'S 12:32.

IT IS NOW 12:58 P.M..

AND WE ARE BACK IN SESSION.

WE LEFT OFF WITH CLOSING THE FLOOR TO PUBLIC COMMENT AND OPENING DISCUSSION AMONGST THE BOARD.

WE'LL BEGIN WITH ANY QUESTIONS THE BOARD HAS.

THE WAY THAT I'D LIKE TO PROCEED IS IF WE CAN, WE'LL HAVE THE BOARD ASK QUESTIONS AND YOU TELL ME IF THIS WORKS FOR YOU.

[00:10:09]

WE'LL HAVE THE BOARD ASK QUESTIONS, ASK YOU TO TAKE SOME NOTES AND RESPOND TO ALL THE QUESTIONS.

IS THAT OKAY? IS THAT OKAY? OR DO YOU PREFER TO HAVE QUESTION ANSWER? HONESTLY, WHATEVER WORKS BEST FOR THE BOARD, WE CAN CERTAINLY TAKE NOTES AND THEN WE'LL DO OUR BEST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ADDRESSING EVERYONE'S QUESTIONS.

LET'S DO QUESTION ANSWER. I THINK THAT MIGHT BE EASIER TO ADDRESS.

OKAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

ABSOLUTELY. WHO WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN? DID YOU WANT TO MAKE COMMENTS? MR. BACHMANN OH, IF THAT'S OKAY.

THAT'S OKAY. GREAT. THANK YOU.

JUST A COUPLE AND PROBABLY MORE, JUST SOME HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS I WANTED, IF I MAY.

CHAIR, I WANTED TO ACTUALLY ASK THE CITY ATTORNEY AND MS..

CALLOWAY SOMETHING KIND OF FOR EVERYONE'S CONSIDERATION.

ABSOLUTELY. SO MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE WERE NO AFFECTED PARTY NOTICES THAT WERE FILED FOR TODAY'S MEETING.

IS THAT RIGHT? THAT IS CORRECT.

THE ONLY YOU'RE THE ONLY PARTY.

AND THEN THERE WAS PUBLIC COMMENT AND THAT'S WHY THEY WERE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES.

CORRECT. OKAY. I JUST JUST CONFIRMING THAT.

AND THEN THEN THE RESIDENTS THAT SPOKE HERE TODAY SPOKE AND OBVIOUSLY GAVE THEIR OPINION AS RESIDENTS.

BUT NO EXPERT TESTIMONY WAS PRESENTED FOR THE RECORD, NO EXPERT TESTIMONY.

SORRY. THIS HOUSEKEEPING STUFF, DEPENDING ON HOW ALL THIS STUFF WORKS OUT.

SO JUST KIND OF GETTING THAT STUFF OUT THERE, THAT'S REALLY IT.

HAPPY TO GO THROUGH SOME QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS AND THEN AT THE END, IF WE CAN HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO JUST KIND OF CLOSE UP, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

SURE. THANK YOU.

WHO WOULD LIKE TO OPEN WITH THE FIRST QUESTION? SAJEEN. WHY NOT? I'LL GO. OKAY.

I CAN START OFF BY SAYING I'M PLEASED THAT THE SITE PLAN HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO THIS POINT.

COMING FROM WHERE IT STARTED.

I LIKE THE IDEA THAT THE NEW HOMES ARE IN PODS AND THEY'RE SEPARATED FROM THE EXISTING HOMES AND, YOU KNOW, ADEQUATELY BUFFERED AND NOT BEING JUST PLACED ACROSS ON THE SAME STREET FROM THE EXISTING HOMES.

I COULD GIVE YOU CREDIT FOR THAT.

THE. MY MAIN COMMENTS ARE, AND I KNOW ALMOST EVERYONE WILL HAVE THE SAME COMMENTS.

IT'S THE. I JUST THINK THERE ARE TOO MANY HOMES, IN PART.

GEE, I DON'T KNOW IF WE COULD PULL THIS UP ON THE SCREEN.

SURE.

IT'S BACK TO IT. AND WHILE THAT'S BEING DONE SO, THE EXISTING THE EXISTING WOODLANDS IS RE ZONING, CORRECT? RESIDENTIAL? THAT'S CORRECT, YES.

AND I KNOW THERE WAS A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH.

WHAT ZONING DID WE FINALLY END UP GIVING YOUR DEVELOPMENT RE AS WELL AND WHAT'S THE UNIT PER ACRE OR THE THE UNITS FOR RE.

I'LL ASK MISS CALLOWAY OR MAYBE TO CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG OR RIGHT.

I THINK IT'S FIVE UNITS TO THE ACRE.

BUT AGAIN, AS I HAD SAID EARLIER, IF YOU REMEMBER, WE RESTRICTED DOWN TO THREE UNITS TO THE ACRE AND WE'RE ACTUALLY WELL BELOW THAT AS WELL.

SO THE EXISTING HOMES ARE FIVE UNITS PER ARE SATISFYING THE FIVE UNITS PER ACRE FOR THE RE.

YEAH. THE LAND USE FUTURE LAND USE MAP IS 0 TO 5 UNITS PER ACRE.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, I THINK THE APPLICANT HAS THIS SLIDE THAT DEMONSTRATE THE EXISTING CONDITIONS AND HOW IT'S BUILT AT 3.1 HOMES PER ACRE, EXISTING 3.1 AND YOU'RE DOING THREE.

SO WE'RE ALLOWED TO DO THREE.

LINDSAY, IF YOU CAN CHECK OVER, I THINK OUR OVERALL DENSITY IS ACTUALLY IT'S RIGHT HERE.

OUR OVERALL DENSITY IS 2.1 ACTUALLY, AND THE SLIDE THAT'S UP BEFORE YOU.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOUR MONITOR IS WORKING NOW OR NOT.

KIND OF SHOWS YOU THE G IS DOWN AT THE BOTTOM THERE.

THAT'S 2.8.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE DENSITIES OF SOME OF THE EXISTING RESIDENTIAL NEXT TO IT.

BUT THIS THIS SLIDE I THINK GIVES YOU THE BEST IDEA OF WHAT OUR DENSITIES ARE BY THEMSELVES AND IN COMPARISON TO THE REMAINDER OF THE EXISTING COMMUNITY ON THIS MAP. CAN YOU MAYBE I CAN LOOK UP HERE, WHERE IS POGGI? IS IT WHERE IT IS? 3.3, 2.8? ACTUALLY, 3.3 IS SECTION FIVE.

YOU KNOW, SECTION SEVEN.

I'M SORRY. SO 2.8 IS THE ONE THAT SAYS 3.3 IS ONE OF THE EXISTING SECTIONS WITHIN THE WOODLANDS AT 3.3 UNITS TO THE ACRE.

[00:15:03]

I SEE. AND IN THAT, POGGI, YOU HAVE YOU'RE PROPOSING 139 UNITS.

IS THAT THE NUMBER? RIGHT? YES. DO YOU HAVE A BLOW UP OF THAT PUDGY? THE BEST THAT WE HAVE IS IS THIS OVERALL SITE PLAN HERE.

OKAY, I'LL HAVE TO LOOK INTO THAT FURTHER.

BUT MY POINT I'M TRYING TO MAKE IS FOR THE OTHER PODS.

DURING TRUMP'S WHILE SEVEN FOR 16 TO 36 FOR B AND THIS IS THE ONE THAT HAS THE MOST AND I SEE WHAT YOU GUYS DID THAT YOU DID IT CLOSE TO THE NEW PROPOSED ENTRANCE IS GOING TO ROCK ISLAND.

SO AT LEAST IT WILL BE EASIER FOR THE RESIDENTS TO EXIT THERE.

BUT I. I JUST THINK IT'S TOO MUCH FOR THAT PART.

I WILL TABLE THAT DEPENDING ON WHAT MY PLANNING BOARD MEMBERS SAY.

MY SECOND COMMENT IS.

THE TRAFFIC.

NOW, YOU'RE ALSO PROPOSING AN EXIT ON THE SOUTH AND NORTH OF THE UTILITY LOT.

ARE THERE ANY STOPLIGHTS BEING PROPOSED ON ROCK ISLAND? NO, NO STOPLIGHTS.

UM, NO TRAFFIC FLOW OR CONTROL.

SO THE THE THING THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS WE HAVE THREE EXITS ON ROCK ISLAND.

MOST OF THE RESIDENTS ARE GOING TO TRY AND TURN TO GO TO COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD.

SO THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME FORM OF I THINK YOUR TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN SHOULD EXTEND TO 44 SOMEWHAT TO GO SOUTH TO U-TURN, TO COME BACK UP TO COMMERCIAL, BECAUSE WHEN I TRY AND TRAVEL ON 44 TO GO TO ROCK ISLAND, THERE'S THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF CARS THERE EVERY MORNING.

THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF CARS GOING NORTH ON ROCK ISLAND TO GO TO COMMERCIAL.

SO I THINK IF WE'RE LIKE DUMPING ALL THESE CARS INTO ROCK ISLAND, THERE'S GOING TO BE A CONGESTION THERE AND WE NEED TO FIND A WAY TO DIRECT THEM TO GO NORTH TO COMMERCIAL.

NOW, I KNOW YOU HAVE YOUR MAIN ENTRANCE HERE IN WOODLANDS AND YOU HAVE TWO OTHERS HERE, BUT AS THE RESIDENT SAID, THAT'S ALSO CONGESTED.

SO I JUST THINK WE NEED TO DO SOME FORM OF TRAFFIC CONTROL THAT EXTENDS TO TO ROCK ISLAND.

AND MY THIRD IS, ARE WE DOING ANYTHING TO WIDEN WOODLANDS BOULEVARD BECAUSE IT'S PRESENTLY TWO LANES.

WOODLANDS BOULEVARD IS NOT BEING IMPROVED.

NO, NO. OKAY.

AND I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT, IF I CAN AGAIN, AND YOU'VE NOW HEARD THIS FROM US, MY TRAFFIC ENGINEERS HERE, THE CITY'S TRAFFIC ENGINEER, WE HAVE A SET OF STANDARDS AND CRITERIA THAT WE NEED TO MEET, WHICH WE MEET AGAIN, WHERE I UNDERSTAND AND WE'VE OBVIOUSLY BEEN LISTENING AND HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS AND SEVERAL OF YOU ARE NEW TO THIS BOARD. SO. SO I UNDERSTAND ALL OF THAT.

I JUST I'M GOING TO NEED TO CONTINUOUSLY REINFORCE THAT THERE ARE CRITERIA ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROVAL THAT WE'RE HERE FOR TODAY AND WE MEET ALL OF THEM.

AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT THAT MEANS THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE DON'T NEED TO SIT AND LISTEN AND UNDERSTAND A LOT OF THIS.

BUT THESE ARE THE EXACT SAME COMMENTS WE'VE BEEN HEARING FOR YEARS, WHICH IS WHY WE'VE GONE FROM 500 AND SOMETHING TO 400 AND SOMETHING TO 335 TO FINALLY GET TO A TRAFFIC ANALYSIS, A DENSITY ANALYSIS WHICH YOU JUST SAW IN IN COMPARISON IS WELL BELOW THE LAND USE AND DENSITY THAT WAS APPROVED BY THIS CITY SIX MONTHS AGO.

AND THE SAME THING WITH THE TRAFFIC STANDARDS.

WE ARE ABOVE THE LEVEL OF SERVICE IS LEVEL OF SERVICE.

SEE YOUR CITY'S TRAFFIC ENGINEER CAN HAS ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT AND CAN CERTAINLY TESTIFY OR ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.

BUT WHAT ALL DUE RESPECT, WHAT WE THINK AND I FEEL LIKE IT'S CONGESTED.

WE ARE MAKING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL ADDRESS SOME CONCERNS.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO FIX EVERYTHING.

IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AS MUCH AS WE WOULD LIKE TO.

IN SOME, TO SOME EXTENT, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

WE'D NEVER BE ABLE TO GET A TRAFFIC SIGNAL IN THAT LOCATION, EVEN EVEN IF WE WANTED IT, BECAUSE OF THE PROXIMITY TO THE SIGNAL AT 44TH AND ROCK ISLAND.

AND SO I JUST KIND OF I WANT TO TRY AND SET THE TABLE SO THAT WE HAVE A PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATION.

BUT WE MEET ALL OF THE CRITERIA AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO DEVIATE IN A SITUATION WHERE WE DON'T I'M NOT SAYING THAT THERE AREN'T SOME THINGS THAT WE CAN'T MOVE AND MODIFY ON OUR PLAN TO TRY AND ADDRESS SOME CONCERNS, BUT THE PLAN THAT'S BEFORE YOU IS WHOLLY CODE COMPLIANT.

AND SO WE'RE HAPPY TO YOU KNOW, AND AGAIN, I'M THE LAWYER STANDING HERE DOING THIS.

YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO TALK TO MY TRAFFIC ENGINEER AS WELL.

BUT HE'S GOING TO TELL YOU WE MEET THE CRITERIA.

SO. OKAY.

MY NEXT QUESTION IS FOR THE AMENITY CAMPUS.

WILL YOU BE PROVIDING ANY GREEN AMENITIES?

[00:20:04]

DO YOU HAVE EV CHARGING STATIONS ANYTHING? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. YES, YES.

SO THE TWO EV CHARGING STATIONS.

SO THERE ARE TWO EV CHARGING STATIONS THAT ARE PROPOSED AT THE AMENITIES CAMPUS.

OKAY. UM.

I'LL GIVE THE FLOOR TO SOMEONE ELSE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTIONS.

ALEXANDRIA. SURE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THAT WAS AN AMAZING PRESENTATION.

I DO SEE YOUR EFFORTS AS AN AGENCY TO PRESERVE SOME GREEN SPACE IN THE WOODLANDS AND JUST MOVING FORWARD.

I DO STILL HAVE CONCERNS, PARTICULARLY FOR THE QUALITY OF LIFE.

AND SO WITH THAT, I DO HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS, AND I APPRECIATE YOUR TRANSPARENCY AS AN AGENCY.

UM, BACK TO THE TRAFFIC STUDY ONE.

WHAT YEAR WAS THAT TRAFFIC STUDY CONDUCTED THE TRACK? THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS.

SIR ADAM KERR IS OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER.

HE CAN GIVE YOU THE UPDATE. IT'S BEEN UPDATED THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.

ADAM KERR WITH KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES.

THE TRAFFIC STUDY WAS INITIALLY PERFORMED IN 2019 BUT HAS BEEN UPDATED CONTINUOUSLY THROUGH THIS YEAR.

AND IN THAT UPDATE, WERE THE OTHER THREE SURROUNDING NEW NEIGHBORHOODS INCLUDED INTO THAT TRAFFIC ANALYSIS? THE THE WAY WE DO THAT IS WE LOOK AT GROWTH RATES, HISTORIC GROWTH RATES AND THEN ADD IN ANY TRAFFIC OF APPROVED PROJECTS THAT WE THAT THE CITY KNOWS ABOUT AND THAT WE KNOW ABOUT.

SO ANYTHING THAT'S BEEN APPROVED IS EITHER INCLUDED IN THE GROWTH OR IS INCLUDED SEPARATELY.

SO YES, YOU'RE SAYING YES, IT WAS.

SO I'M CURIOUS HOW THAT IMPACTED HOW THAT DATA HAS IMPACTED THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT YOU GUYS ALSO.

SO IN REFERENCE TO THE PROPOSED TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS AND THE DATA TO THE NEW COMMUNITIES, HOW DOES WHAT WAS THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THAT? THE THE THE IMPROVEMENTS WERE ACTUALLY ANALYZED BASED OFF OF THE PREVIOUS WOODLAND'S TRAFFIC STUDIES, WHICH ACTUALLY HAD MORE IMPACT FROM WOODLANDS AS WE'VE REDUCED THE NUMBER OF UNITS.

SO WE'VE KEPT THOSE SAME IMPROVEMENTS, EVEN THOUGH WE'VE REDUCED THE AMOUNT OF THE AMOUNT OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS.

SO THE THE THE THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS STILL MITIGATE OUR TRAFFIC AS WELL AS PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CAPACITY FOR OTHER IMPROVEMENTS OR OTHER PROJECTS AS WELL.

OKAY. MY NEXT QUESTION IS, DO WE HAVE A REPORT THAT HAS INDICATED THE AMOUNT OF DEATHS OR ACCIDENTS THAT TOOK PLACE IN THE COMMERCIAL AND ROCK ISLAND INTERSECTION? WE HAVE NOT PREPARED A SAFETY OR TRAFFIC A CRASH ANALYSIS AS PART OF THIS.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

AND IN THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS, WHAT WAS THE SIGNAL TIMING OR THE TIMING THAT WAS APPROPRIATED FOR, LET'S SAY, TRAFFIC WITH THE GATES, THE GATED ENTRANCES AND THE SIGNAL TIMING OR AND TIMING FOR THAT? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT HAVING THE GATED COMMUNITY CAN ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS.

SO TO UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION, YOU'RE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE HOW THE GATES WILL OPERATE WITH THE SIGNAL, HOW IT WOULD IMPACT CORRECT THAT PARTICULAR ENTRANCE.

SO SO THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS LOOKS WHAT WE DID TO WE DID A SORT OF AN INTERNAL ANALYSIS AS WELL AS THE EXTERNAL.

IT DOESN'T GET VERY SPECIFIC IN TERMS OF THAT THAT ISSUE.

BUT WE WILL CERTAINLY BE WORKING WITH BROWARD COUNTY.

THEY'RE THE ONES WHO MAINTAIN THE SIGNAL TIMING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE THE GATE OPERATIONS AND THE QUEUES AT THOSE GATES DON'T INTERFERE WITH THE SIGNAL AT WOODLANDS.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTIONS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? VIOLA? I HAVE QUITE A FEW, BUT I WAS WAITING UNTIL EVERYBODY GOES, SO MAYBE I COULD ELIMINATE SOME OF MY QUESTIONS.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL ASK. DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION, JACQUES MOISE? I HONESTLY DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTION.

I HEAR EVERYBODY.

AND THE WAY I LOOK AT THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL PROJECT FOR OUR CITY TO IMPROVE.

YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY THAT'S PART OF OUR CITY OF TAMARAC.

IN THE PLAN, IT SEEMED LIKE THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN STUCK FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS.

SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN HAVE A SOLUTION, YOU KNOW, TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PROJECT.

YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, WITH SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATION FROM MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBER.

BUT OVERALL I THINK THAT'S AN EXCELLENT PROJECT.

I THINK THE RESIDENTS WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO SEE SOME IMPROVEMENT.

YOU KNOW, SO ESPECIALLY THE HOUSING MARKET IS GOING SKY HIGH, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE.

[00:25:01]

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS MYSELF.

I DO SEE THE DENSITY, THE AMOUNT OF UNITS PER ACRE.

BUT WHAT'S THE AVERAGE LOT SIZE? I HEARD SOMEONE MENTION IT MIGHT BE HALF AN ACRE OR A THIRD.

I'M NOT SURE IF I MISUNDERSTOOD THAT.

SO I WANTED TO CLARIFICATION.

SO NO, IT'S DEFINITELY NOT NOT HALF AN ACRE OR A THIRD OF AN ACRE.

I THINK OUR AVERAGE LOT SIZE IS ABOUT 6500FT².

IT'S PROBABLY ABOUT AN EIGHTH, A LITTLE MORE THAN 100.

OKAY. UH, I BELIEVE YOU MENTIONED EARLIER THAT THE DENSITY IS GOING TO DROP.

I WROTE A NOTE HERE THAT YOU SAID DENSITY DROPS WITH THE NEW DEVELOPMENT, SO CAN YOU ELABORATE ON THAT? SURE. YEAH, I WAS REFERRING TO THIS SLIDE.

RIGHT. AND I THINK I ACKNOWLEDGED AT THE TIME I'M NOT SAYING THAT THERE AREN'T MORE UNITS.

THERE ARE. BUT WHEN YOU TAKE ALL OF THE LAND AREA FOR JUST THE DEVELOPED PROPERTY IN THE WOODLANDS TODAY, TAKE OUR 275 ACRES OUT THERE AT 3.1 UNITS PER ACRE RIGHT NOW OVER ALL OF THEIR LAND.

WHEN YOU ADD IN THE 275 UNITS AND THE THE DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE PROPOSING, WE'RE AT 2.2 UNITS TO THE ACRE. SO AS A WHOLE, RIGHT WITHIN THAT ENTIRE SQUARE OF WHAT IS THE WOODLANDS EVEN ADDING OUR UNITS, THE OVERALL DENSITY OF THAT LAND AREA IS DECREASED.

I UNDERSTAND. OKAY.

THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE POCKET PARKS, DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF THIS? THE SQUARE FOOTAGE, HOW LARGE OR HOW SMALL THEY'RE GOING TO BE? SORRY. LINDSAY MURPHY IS OUR LAND PLANNER.

GOOD AFTERNOON. LINDSAY MURPHY WITH URBAN DESIGN STUDIO.

THE POCKET PARKS AREN'T ENCLOSED, BUT THEY'RE GENERALLY DEFINED BY LIKE A 60 BY 100 AREA WITH LANDSCAPING.

THE TRAIL LEADS TO IT BENCHES, TRASH RECEPTACLE, WASTE STATION FOR THE PETS.

OKAY. SORRY, JUST TO ADD TO THAT, LINDSAY MADE A GOOD POINT.

THEY'RE NOT ENCLOSED, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE POCKET PARKS ARE WHAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN ORANGE.

[8.b TO2541 - An ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, adopting a large scale local land use plan amendment to the City of Tamarac’s Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map in accordance with Chapter 163, specifically Section 163.3184 of the Florida State Statutes, for said lands situated, lying, and being in Broward County, Florida, and located at or bounded by west Commercial Boulevard to the north, Rock Island Road to the east, NW 64 Avenue to the west and NW 44 Street to the south, and more particularly described in the legal description shown in Exhibit “A” attached hereto, to change the future land use designation of approximately 109.93 gross acres of land within the former Woodlands Country Club golf course from “Commercial Recreation” to “Recreation” to facilitate the reservation of land for community recreation and open space and satisfy condition 1.a of Broward County Land Use Plan Amendment PC20-2 to provide consistency with the Broward County Adopted Future Land Use Plan Map in accordance with the intent of the comprehensive plan of the City of Tamarac; (Case No. 3-LUA-23) authorizing transmittal of the large scale land use map amendment to the Department Of Economic Opportunity and the appropriate reviewing agencies and the Broward County Planning Council for review, approval and recertification of the City of Tamarac Future Land Use Map; providing for amendment to the land use plan to reflect such change; providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date.]

THAT'S WHERE THERE'S ADDITIONAL AMENITIES THAT ARE PROVIDED A PLACE FOR SOMEONE TO SIT.

THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

BUT YOU CAN SEE IN VIRTUALLY ALL OF THEM, I BELIEVE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MAYBE THE ONE SMALL ONE DOWN IN POD G, THERE'S SIGNIFICANT LAND AREA THERE.

LARGE OPEN AREAS.

YEAH, I SEE THAT.

OKAY. UM.

I WANTED TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF.

THERE WAS A NOTE OR A COMMENT THAT WAS MADE ABOUT A NOTE OR SLIDE THAT SAID THE OPEN SPACE WAS 109.93 ACRES.

SO I WANTED TO GET A CLARIFICATION FOR MYSELF WHAT THE OPEN THE DIFFERENCE IN OPEN SPACE AND RECREATIONAL SPACE THAT NUMBER, 109.93 ACRES. DO YOU? SURE. SO LET ME SHOW YOU A COUPLE OF THINGS.

THE 109.93, THE ALMOST 110 GOES BACK TO THE VERY FIRST ITEM WE WERE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT THAT THAT YOU ALL DECIDED TO POSTPONE UNTIL WE HAD A LITTLE MORE CONTEXT. AND SO THAT IS THIS SLIDE.

EVERYTHING YOU SEE THERE IN DARK GREEN IS 110 ACRES.

OKAY. OKAY. THEN WHAT YOU SAW IS WE WENT FORWARD AND I THINK YOU HAD ASKED EARLIER IF WE HAD AN EXHIBIT SHOWING THIS.

WE DON'T.

BUT THIS WHAT THIS SHOWS IS YOU HAVE 110 ACRES OF WELL, IT ACTUALLY SAYS 160.

THERE YOU HAVE 110 ACRES, THAT IS RESTRICTED TO OPEN SPACE BECAUSE IT HAS THE RECREATION LAND USE.

OVER AND ABOVE THAT, IF THE SITE PLAN IS APPROVED, THERE IS A MINIMUM OF 50 MORE ACRES THAT'S STILL OPEN SPACE THAT'S APPROVED AND EFFECTIVELY RESTRICTED OPEN SPACE AS PART OF THE SITE PLAN.

WE'D HAVE TO GO THROUGH AN APPROVAL PROCESS TO UNDO IT.

I UNDERSTAND. SO, SO AND THERE'S ACTUALLY, I BELIEVE, ANOTHER 20 OR 30 ACRES BEYOND THAT.

WE JUST THESE ARE ALL MINIMUM NUMBERS.

THERE IS ALMOST TWO 180, 190 ACRES OF OPEN SPACE OUT OF 275 ACRES OF LAND THAT IS PROPOSED FOR DEVELOPMENT. OKAY.

THERE ARE TWO MORE THINGS THAT KIND OF CONFUSED ME A LITTLE BIT, SO I JUST KIND OF BEAR WITH ME.

I REMEMBER HEARING THAT.

PUBLIC ACCESS WOULD NOT BE RESTRICTED OR LIMITED.

HOWEVER, I SAW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING IN GATES SO THAT THOSE TWO STATEMENTS ARE TWO THINGS KIND OF CONFUSE ME.

SURE. LET'S SEE.

SO THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST SLIDE.

THE MAINLAND'S.

THERE WILL BE GATES ACTUALLY AT EACH OF THESE LOCATIONS.

NOW, THE ONES THAT ARE BLUE ONLY.

LET'S FOCUS ON THOSE FOR A SECOND.

JUST BLUE, RIGHT? SO NOT THE COMBINED BLUE AND YELLOW ARE THERE WILL BE GATES FOR EXIT ONLY.

RIGHT? SO YOU CAN'T GET IN THE COMMUNITY THERE AND THOSE GATES AUTOMATICALLY GO UP TO ANYONE THAT WANTS TO LEAVE THE COMMUNITY TO GET OUT.

SO THERE'S NO STACKING OR STALLING OR ANYTHING.

THEY JUST THEY GO UP BUT PROVIDE SOME FORM OF SECURITY AND RESTRICTION.

[00:30:02]

THE. FOR YELLOWS ARE ACCESS RESTRICTED? THE ONE AT WOODLAND.

SO THE ONE ALL THE WAY AT THE TOP AT WOODLANDS IN COMMERCIAL IS WHAT'S KNOWN AS A SOFT GATE.

THERE ARE LICENSE PLATE READERS, BUT EFFECTIVELY THE PUBLIC HAS ACCESS TO THE COMMUNITY.

BUT IT CREATES AND YOU SEE THESE ALL OVER THE PLACE, ESPECIALLY DOWN IN MIAMI SHORES, OFF OF BISCAYNE, AND A NUMBER OF AREAS.

THERE'S A GATE AND A GUARD HOUSE.

YOU GO UP AND YOU STOP AND IT TAKES A PICTURE OF YOUR LICENSE PLATE AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO REALLY SHOW ANY FORM OF ID NECESSARILY, AND YOU GET ACCESS TO THE COMMUNITY.

BUT THE IDEA AND THE CONCEPT HERE IS WE WANT PEOPLE TO BE COMING INTO THE COMMUNITY THAT BELONG IN THE COMMUNITY.

AND SO THERE IS ACCESS TO THE PUBLIC.

IT IS NOT RESTRICTED, BUT IT GIVES THE APPEARANCE THAT IT IS THE OTHER THREE.

I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR. THE OTHER THREE IN YELLOW ARE RESIDENT ONLY ACCESS.

THEY ARE GATED AND THEY WILL ONLY GO UP IF YOU SHOW UP.

I DON'T KNOW. WE'RE DOING A CARD OR WE'LL HAVE A BARCODE ON THE SIDE OF A CAR LIKE YOU SEE IN SOME GATED COMMUNITIES.

AND THAT'S HOW YOU GET INTO THE COMMUNITY AS A RESIDENT.

NO GUEST ACCESS OR PUBLIC ACCESS FROM ANY OF THOSE LOCATIONS.

OKAY. IN ONE OF THE SLIDES, IN THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER AT THE CORNER OF COMMERCIAL AND ROCK ISLAND, THERE WAS A COMMERCIAL RECREATION.

BOX THERE.

DO WE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT'S GOING TO BE THERE? SO THE ANSWER TO THAT IS NO.

WHAT I'LL TELL YOU LET ME GO BACK TO THE ONE THAT YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT'S NOT INCLUDED.

THIS THIS IS ALWAYS BEEN THE CASE.

WE WERE NEVER WHEN WE PUT THE PROPERTY UNDER CONTRACT WITH CLUBLINK.

CLUBLINK HELD FOUR ACRES, FOUR AND CHANGE ACRES OUT.

PROBABLY THINKING AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE IT MAY BE A GOOD COMMERCIAL USE THAT IS NOT PART OF OUR APPLICATION.

IT NEVER WAS. WE HAD NO RIGHT OR AUTHORIZATION TO MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THOSE FOUR ACRES.

SO THEY'RE JUST NOT PART OF ANY OF THE APPLICATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PENDING TODAY AND WILL REMAIN WHAT THEY WERE, WHICH IS COMMERCIAL RECREATION WITH, I THINK, A COMMERCIAL RECREATION LAND ZONING ALSO, RIGHT? OR THEY'RE LIMITED TO WHATEVER THE USE WAS PREVIOUSLY, BUT IT IS NOT PART OF OUR APPLICATION.

OKAY. WAS THERE.

IS THERE A REASON OR CAN YOU SHARE WITH US THE REASON WHY G IS THE ONLY POD THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TWO STORY HOMES? WHAT WAS THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND PUTTING IT THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE OR AT ALL? AND I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO ANOTHER SITE PLAN.

WE TRUTHFULLY, WE CAME IN.

YOU SAW YEARS OF WORK TALKING TO THE COMMUNITY, A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT CHANGES IN SITE PLANS.

WE WERE GOING TO PUT TWO STORY HOMES ON ANY OF OUR LOTS.

THAT'S WHAT WE WANTED TO DO.

AND WHEN I SAY THAT, THAT DOESN'T MEAN EVERY LOT IS GOING TO BE A TWO STORY HOME.

IT MEANS THAT THE CUSTOMER SHOWS UP AND DECIDES THEY WANT A ONE STORY HOME OR A TWO STORY HOME, AND THAT'S WHAT THEY PURCHASE.

AND THEY SHOULD HAVE THE OPTION OF DOING THAT ON EVERY LOT THAT WE'RE BUILDING.

THAT IS WHAT WE WANTED.

THAT WAS CLEAR TO US THROUGHOUT, WORKING WITH THE NEIGHBORS, WORKING WITH THE CITY AND EVERYONE ELSE, THAT THAT WAS THAT WAS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

AND WE CONTINUED TO WORK AND FIGURE OUT SOLUTIONS AS WE LOWERED OUR DENSITY ON FLOOR PLANS THAT WOULD WORK AS ONE STORY ON THE MAJORITY OF THE HOMES.

HOWEVER, AS PART OF THAT, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, I'LL CALL IT COMPROMISE WITH MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.

OBVIOUSLY NOT ALL OF THEM.

AND AND THE CITY AS A WHOLE, TALKING TO STAFF, TALKING TO COMMISSIONERS, ETCETERA.

WHAT WE WERE ULTIMATELY APPROVED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH WAS THE ALLOWANCE TO PROVIDE TWO STORY HOMES IN POGGI.

IT DOESN'T MEAN ALL OF THOSE ARE GOING TO BE TWO STORY, BUT WE WE HAVE THE OPTION OF PROVIDING THEM LIKE OUR OTHER FLOOR PLANS.

THE REASON YOU CAN'T SEE IT ON THIS SLIDE, BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS AREA, IMMEDIATELY ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF 44TH, I THINK YOU HAVE EIGHT STORY CONDOMINIUMS. AND SO THERE WAS A AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT AS WE WERE ALL TRYING TO COMPROMISE TO FIND SOMETHING THAT NOT EVERYONE WAS GOING TO AGREE ON, BUT MAYBE WORKED.

TWO STORY HOMES BELONG THERE MORE THAN THEY DO ANYWHERE ELSE.

THAT'S THE BEST ANSWER I CAN GIVE YOU.

OKAY, THAT'S FAIR. THIS WILL BE MY LAST QUESTION.

TRAFFIC. THE THE ITEM OF TRAFFIC IS A REAL ISSUE, AS MANY OF THE RESIDENTS HAVE SAID.

THOSE ROADS ARE NARROW AND MOSTLY ONE IN AND OUT.

ADDING 335 NEW HOMES WILL IMPACT THE TRAFFIC AND IT'S ALREADY HEAVY.

I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER ON BOTH SIDES.

WHAT'S GOING TO BE DONE.

I KNOW THAT YOU'VE DONE YOUR STUDIES. I KNOW THAT YOU DID YOUR STUDY IN 2019.

I KNOW THAT YOU'VE SAID THAT YOU HAVEN'T.

YOU'VE USED THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE GROWTH OF THE CITY TO PROJECT WHAT YOU THINK.

BUT WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING TODAY IS THE ROADS ARE CONGESTED, WHETHER IT'S WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND ON THE MAJOR OUTLETS, THEY'RE CONGESTED.

GOING ON COMMERCIAL IN THE MORNING TO GO TO WORK IS A NIGHTMARE, TO SAY THE LEAST.

RIGHT. SO SO TO ADDRESS THE CONGESTION ON COMMERCIAL, WE'RE RECOMMENDING THERE WAS A SLIDE THAT RECOMMENDED THE VARIOUS IMPROVEMENTS, ADDITIONAL TURN

[00:35:04]

LANES AT 64TH AND COMMERCIAL AT WOODLANDS AND COMMERCIAL AND THEN ALSO AT ROCK ISLAND AND COMMERCIAL.

AND THE BENEFITS OF THOSE IMPROVEMENTS WILL THERE'LL BE MORE CAPACITY GENERATED BY THOSE IMPROVEMENTS THEN WE WILL BE USING.

SO THE CONDITION OF COMMERCIAL WILL ACTUALLY BE BETTER AFTER WE MAKE THE IMPROVEMENTS AND ADD THE TRAFFIC FROM WOODLANDS.

IN ADDITION, WE'LL ALSO BE WORKING WITH BROWARD COUNTY.

IT'S NOTED IN THE TRAFFIC STUDY TO OPTIMIZE THE SIGNAL TIMING ALONG COMMERCIAL.

IT'S PART OF A PROJECT THAT BROWARD COUNTY HAS ALSO AND FDOT ARE ALSO LOOKING AT TO INTRODUCE SOME TECHNOLOGY TO OPTIMIZE THE SIGNAL TIMING ALONG COMMERCIAL. AS FAR AS INTERNAL TO THE SITE, WE DID A AN INTERNAL ROADWAY TRAFFIC EVALUATION AND THAT SHOWED THAT ALL OF THE ROADWAYS OPERATE WELL BELOW THE THE ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF SERVICE.

SO OPERATING AT LEVEL SERVICE A OR B, EVEN WITH THE THE ADDITIONAL TRIPS.

THANK YOU. GOOD AFTERNOON.

GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR.

VICE CHAIR. MY NAME IS CARL PETERSEN WITH TRACTEC ENGINEERING.

WE'RE YOUR TRAFFIC ENGINEERING CONSULTANT TO THE CITY.

I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN SERVING THE CITY FOR 31 YEARS NOW, SO I HAVE A PRETTY GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF TRAFFIC IN THE IN THE CITY.

AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT OUR OFFICE IS ACTUALLY BASED HERE IN IN TAMARAC AS WELL ON UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

SO MR. CARR HAS HAS DONE A VERY GOOD JOB OF EXPLAINING THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS.

THERE'S BEEN THREE BASIC TRAFFIC STUDIES THAT HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AS AS PART OF THIS PROJECT.

THE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT, WHICH WE'VE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, WE'VE REVIEWED THAT IN DETAIL MULTIPLE TIMES, A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH, AND THAT HAS ALSO BEEN REVIEWED BY THE COUNTY AND APPROVED.

THERE'S BEEN AN INTERNAL TRAFFIC STUDY OF THE INTERNAL ROADWAYS AND INTERSECTIONS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND THAT WAS DONE PRIMARILY BASED UPON A LOT OF THE FEEDBACK THAT WE HAD RECEIVED FROM THE RESIDENTS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY EXPLAINING VARIOUS CONCERNS THAT THEY HAD RELATIVE TO TRAFFIC.

AND SO THEY DID A VERY DETAILED, IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF ALL THE INTERSECTIONS AND ROADWAYS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND HAVE CONCLUDED AND WE HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THOSE INTERSECTIONS ARE PERFORMING ADEQUATELY AS WELL AS THE ROADWAYS.

NOW TO THE MORE PRESSING PART, WHICH IS PROBABLY WHAT YOU AND I FEEL ON A DAILY BASIS WHEN WE'RE DRIVING AROUND HERE IS THE EXTERNAL ROADWAYS AND THE INTERSECTIONS THERE.

OBVIOUSLY, THE ADDITION OF 335 HOMES IS GOING TO GENERATE MORE TRAFFIC.

WE UNDERSTAND THAT.

AND THAT'S GOING BACK 4 OR 5 YEARS.

WHEN WE STARTED THIS PROCESS, MY RECOLLECTION IS THAT THEY WERE LOOKING AT SOMEWHERE CLOSE TO 500 HOMES IN THIS COMMUNITY.

AND SO THAT WAS KIND OF WHERE WE STARTED IN TERMS OF OUR TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS FOR THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT.

AND WE'VE HAD A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH REVIEWS AND COMMENTS AND ANALYZES AND THE APPLICANT HAD IDENTIFIED A NUMBER OF ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS WHICH THEY'VE EXPLAINED AND WHICH ARE SHOWN HERE ON THE SCREEN.

THEY'VE ALSO TALKED A LOT ABOUT A LOT OF SIGNAL TIMING IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH WILL HELP MOVE TRAFFIC.

AND BOTH THE CITY'S PRESENTATION AND MR. KERR HAVE BOTH EXPLAINED HERE AS WELL.

THIS AFTERNOON DURING OUR REVIEW OF THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT, WE WERE AWARE, BASED UPON SOME OF OUR OTHER INVOLVEMENT WITH FLORIDA DOT AND BROWARD COUNTY THAT THEY ARE EMBARKING ON A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT TO IMPROVE THE TRAFFIC FLOW ALONG COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD. AND WE SAW THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY ON BEHALF OF THE CITY TO MAKE THE TEAM AWARE OF THAT AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FUNDING OF THAT TO PAY FOR A PROPORTIONATE SHARE, IF YOU WILL, TO HELP IMPROVE THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC.

YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO COMPLETELY OFFSET 335 HOMES AND THE TRAFFIC ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

BUT THE STATE IS HAS IDENTIFIED THIS AS A PROBLEMATIC CORRIDOR.

WE ALL KNOW THAT.

AND THEY ARE INVESTING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO IMPROVING THIS CORRIDOR.

AND THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT IMPROVEMENT TO HELP MOVE THAT ALONG AND ENCOURAGE THAT FUNDING OF THE PROJECT.

I BELIEVE IT WAS $114,000 IS WHAT I SAW ON THE SLIDE.

I BELIEVE SO. AND, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS A NUMBER THAT WAS DEVELOPED BASED UPON AN EARLIER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.

[00:40:01]

SO THEY'RE PROBABLY PAYING MORE THAN THEIR PROPORTIONATE SHARE.

BUT WE HAVEN'T GONE BACK AND REVISITED THAT, AND I DON'T EXPECT THAT WE WILL.

BUT NONETHELESS, THEY ARE THEY HAVE STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE AND AGREED TO THAT.

I WAS TALKING WITH THE CITY ENGINEER A LITTLE WHILE AGO.

AND ANOTHER THING TO KEEP IN MIND, ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT A PART OF THIS STUDY AND THE TIMING OF IT PROBABLY WOULD NOT LEND ITSELF WELL, BUT THERE ARE TURNPIKE IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE IN THE WORKS.

SO THERE'LL BE ADDITIONAL CAPACITY ON FLORIDA'S TURNPIKE IN THE PROBABLY NEXT 5 TO 10 YEAR HORIZON AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT ADDITIONAL INTERCHANGES SPECIFICALLY AT OAKLAND PARK BOULEVARD THAT WILL HELP IN MANY WAYS RELIEVE SOME OF THE TRAFFIC WITHIN THE COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD CORRIDOR.

SO AGAIN, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY TO BE TAKEN CONSIDERATION DURING THIS PHASE OF THE ANALYSIS BECAUSE IT'S NOT FULLY FUNDED. IT'S NOT APPROVED.

THE CONSTRUCTION IS NOT IMMINENT.

IT'S AFTER THE BUILDOUT HORIZON HERE.

BUT IN TERMS OF YOUR DECISION MAKING CAPACITY TODAY, THAT'S SOMETHING TO KIND OF KEEP IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND THAT THERE ARE IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE COMING DOWN THE ROAD THAT WILL HELP ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE CONGESTION IN THIS AREA.

TAKE SOME OF THE PRESSURE OFF OF THAT COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD TURNPIKE INTERCHANGE, WHICH IS SO PROBLEMATIC DURING THE PEAK HOURS, HELP MOVE SOME OF THAT DOWN SOUTH TO OAKLAND PARK AS WELL AS OTHER INTERCHANGES.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

THANK YOU. BUT WHEN ASKED ANOTHER QUESTION, THE GENTLEMAN THAT STOOD UP AND SPOKE ABOUT THE BLUEPRINT THAT HE HAD FROM THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT AND HE HAD CONCERNS ABOUT THE TEN FOOT OF LAND THAT HE THINKS BELONGS TO THE RESIDENTS AND NOT CLUBLINK.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD OR CAN YOU ADD SOME LIGHT TO THAT TOPIC? WHAT I THE COLOR THAT I CAN ADD IS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AN AREA.

SEE WHERE IT SAYS POT ON THE PLAN.

HONESTLY, I DON'T.

THE BOTTOM LEFT HAND SIDE AND IT SAYS POT AGE.

AGAIN, IT'S MUCH LARGER ON THE SCREEN IMMEDIATELY TO THE NORTH OF THAT.

AND I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHICH HOME, BUT IS THE HOME OF THE GENTLEMAN THAT THAT MADE THE COMMENT.

WHAT I CAN TELL YOU, BECAUSE I THINK SOME EMAILS WERE EXCHANGED EARLIER THIS WEEK AND WERE SHARED WITH US WITH EFFECTIVELY THE ALLEGATIONS THAT WERE MADE THAT THIS ISN'T THIS ISN'T CLUB LINKS PROPERTY.

AND SO THEREFORE, WE'RE TAKING PROPERTY AND WE DON'T HAVE A RIGHT TO IT.

OBVIOUSLY, WE GET SIX YEARS INTO A PROCESS.

WE SURVEY THE PROPERTY, WE DO TITLE WORK ON THE PROPERTY AND WE DOUBLE CHECK ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, THE PROPERTY LINES.

WE HAVE NO EVIDENCE, NO RECORD WHATSOEVER, ANYWHERE OF AN EASEMENT TO THE BENEFIT OF THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS THERE.

THE LAKE IS OUTSIDE OF THE PROPERTY LINE, MIGHT BE VERY CLOSE TO THE PROPERTY LINE, BUT HE HAS HIS PROPERTY, AS DO THOSE OTHER HOMES, AND THEN EVERYTHING TO THE SOUTH OF THAT, WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY POD H IS ON CLUBLINK PROPERTY, WHICH MY CLIENT WILL BE REQUIRING AND WILL ACQUIRING.

SORRY, AND WE WILL BE DEVELOPING.

WE DON'T INTEND ON DOING MUCH WORK IN AND AROUND THAT LAKE AREA, BUT TO THE SOUTH OF THAT, I KNOW THERE WAS A COMMENT THAT WAS MADE THAT THERE'S NO ROOM TO DO THIS.

I DON'T THINK WE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THIS FAR IN A SITE PLANNING PROCESS WITH YOUR STAFF IF WE COULDN'T ACCOMMODATE WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED FOR DEVELOPMENT THERE.

SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I CAN ADD.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHTY.

DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I DO. OKAY.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TRAFFIC UPDATE? IT'S BEEN CONTINUOUSLY UPDATED, PROBABLY AS RECENTLY AS EARLIER THIS YEAR AFTER MARCH BEFORE.

I'LL GET YOU AN EXACT DATE, BUT SOMETIME IN THE LAST HANDFUL OF MONTHS JUST BECAUSE I LIVE IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA.

SO I AM VERY FAMILIAR WITH WHERE YOU'RE YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT.

AND SO I KNOW THE AREA VERY, VERY WELL AND I DO.

THE TRAFFIC IS AN ISSUE ON ALL THE ROADS AROUND THERE NOW.

IT'S REALLY, REALLY BAD.

I ACKNOWLEDGE I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ENTRANCE AND EXIT POINTS AND HOW YOU EXPLAIN THAT THE GUARD GATE, MAYBE WHEN YOU SAY GUARD GATE, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE A PHYSICAL GUARD AT ANY OF THE GATES OR IT'S JUST GOING TO BE THE PICTURE TAKING? AND I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE PICTURE TAKING ENTRANCES ALSO, CORRECT? THE LATTER. THERE WILL NOT BE NO PHYSICAL GUARD.

GUARD, NO. OKAY.

SO HOW MANY OF THE PICTURE TAKING GUARD GATES IS THERE GOING TO BE IN THIS COMMUNITY? WELL, THERE'LL BE THE THE MAIN ENTRANCE, WHICH WILL HAVE TWO LANES, ONE FOR RESIDENTS AND ONE FOR GUESTS.

AND THEN THERE WILL BE CAMERAS FOR FOR VEHICLES AT THE OTHER THREE ENTRANCES.

SO THERE WILL BE THREE WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE THEY'RE GOING TO BE TICKET PICTURE TAKING OF THE LICENSE PLATE.

[00:45:04]

CORRECT. SO AND I WAS JUST CORRECTED ACTUALLY AT ALL EIGHT ACCESS POINTS, INGRESS OR EGRESS.

WE WILL BE PUTTING IN KIND OF A CAMERA, A SAFETY DEVICE, SECURITY DEVICE TO ENSURE THAT WE IT CAN BE MONITORED AS TO WHO IS COMING AND GOING FROM THE COMMUNITY. OKAY.

SO ANYONE COULD PRETTY MUCH ENTER AND ANYONE WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS EITHER WAY.

TECHNICALLY SPEAKING, THE ANSWER TO THAT IS YES.

THE CONCEPT HERE WAS TO GIVE AN APPEARANCE OF SECURITY AND DISSUADE INDIVIDUALS THAT DON'T BELONG IN THE COMMUNITY FROM COMING IN THE COMMUNITY BY PUTTING UP GATES, BY PUTTING UP LICENSE PLATE READERS.

I THINK THAT'S THE BETTER TERM SO THAT PEOPLE FEEL SAFE COMING INTO THE COMMUNITY AND PEOPLE DON'T FEEL LIKE THEY SHOULD BE COMING INTO THE COMMUNITY TO MAYBE DO THINGS THEY SHOULDN'T BE. BUT IN TODAY'S TIME THAT DOES NOT, BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT DRIVE AROUND SOMETIMES WITH THEIR LICENSE PLATE COVERED.

SURE. SEEING NONE. AND SO I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT TYPE OF FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY.

NOW, I HAVE A FEW OTHER QUESTIONS.

WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE COMMUNITY WAS OKAY WITH YOU PROCEEDING WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT? I CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION WITHOUT FORMING AN OPINION.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE, PEOPLE THAT SPOKE THERE, PROBABLY, BUT WE HAD A MAJORITY.

WHEN YOU SAY THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE THEN IS OKAY WITH THIS? YEAH, I WOULD TELL YOU, I BELIEVE A MAJORITY EITHER IS SUPPORTIVE OR NEUTRAL TO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

YES. OKAY.

I HAVE A COUPLE OTHER QUESTIONS.

WHAT COMMUNITY COULD I LOOK AT? YOU SAID YOU'VE BUILT SEVERAL COMMUNITIES.

SO WHAT COMMUNITY? WHAT? NAME SOME COMMUNITY THAT YOU COULD GIVE ME THAT I COULD SAY, OKAY, I KNOW BECAUSE I GET AROUND.

I KNOW. I KNOW COMMUNITIES.

THERE'S AVALON, RIGHT? AVALON. AVALON TRAILS IS A COMMUNITY UP IN AVALON TRAIL.

YEAH. UP IN DEL RAY.

WHAT WAS THE OTHER ONE WHERE WE DID? ARBOR PARK. THAT'S IN RIVIERA BEACH, RIGHT? YEAH. UH HUH. OBVIOUSLY, THE THREE COMMUNITIES HERE TO THE CENTRAL PARK MANOR PARK AND HIDDEN TRAILS.

THAT'S THE ONE CLOSE TO THE TURNPIKE.

THE ONE THAT'S JUST AT THE TURNPIKE, RIGHT? YES. OKAY.

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE EXISTING ASSOCIATIONS IN THERE? I BELIEVE THEY HAD LIKE EIGHT LITTLE ASSOCIATIONS.

SO WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN? HOW IS THAT GOING TO MERGE IN WITH WHAT YOU'RE DOING? SO THAT'S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION AND A LOT OF CONCERN THAT CAME UP DURING THE APPROVAL PROCESS, THE MEETING PROCESS AS WELL.

THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS NOTHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THEIR EIGHT ASSOCIATIONS.

THEY'RE GOING TO REMAIN AND THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THEIR MEETINGS.

THE I CAN'T FIND THE RIGHT SITE PLAN, BUT THESE NEW HOMES WILL BE PART OF AN ASSOCIATION CALLED SECTION NINE.

THERE ARE EIGHT SECTIONS, SO THERE'LL BE A NEW HOA CREATED FOR SECTION NINE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHAT IT TECHNICALLY BE CALLED, BUT AT THE MOMENT AND IN THE AGREEMENTS, THAT'S WHAT IT'S BEEN CALLED.

AND ALL OF THE COSTS AND ALL OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES AND ALL OF THE MAINTENANCE FOR EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING IN HERE.

FUTURE LAKE MAINTENANCE, ROADWAY MAINTENANCE FOR THE PRIVATE ROADS, GREEN SPACE, EVERYTHING IS SOLELY AN EXPENSE OF THE NEW HOA.

NO EXPENSES BEING IMPOSED ON THE EXISTING COMMUNITY.

OKAY. SO THE $100 THAT YOU SAID WILL, YOU'RE GOING TO CHARGE FOR THE EXIT FOR THE CLUBHOUSES AND THE AMENITIES.

WHAT OTHER THAN THE AMENITIES, WHAT IS THAT COVERING? IT'S FOR THE USE.

YOU'RE NOT HAVING A GUARD GATED COMMUNITY.

YOU'RE JUST. WHO IS GOING TO MAINTAIN THOSE GATES, BY THE WAY, THE NEW ASSOCIATION.

OKAY. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ABOUT THE $100, THAT IS, IT'S LIKE JOINING A GYM, RIGHT? ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE GOING TO BE PAYING A VERY SUBSTANTIAL HOA FEE ON A MONTHLY BASIS.

THEY THAT PART OF THAT WILL INCLUDE THE RECREATION CENTER BECAUSE WE'RE NOT INCORPORATING OR INCLUDING ANY OF THE EXISTING EIGHT SECTIONS, THE RECREATION CAMPUS THAT YOU ALL SAW EARLIER. WILL ANYONE FROM THE COMMUNITY IS MORE THAN WELCOME TO EFFECTIVELY JOIN THE RECREATION CAMPUS AND UTILIZE ITS AMENITIES, BUT THAT WILL CARRY A MONTHLY COST.

ALSO, THE PRESENT RESIDENT WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN.

IT WON'T BE MANDATED.

THEY WILL JOIN IF THEY WANT TO BE PURELY ELECTIVE.

OKAY. THE RECREATIONAL AREAS THAT YOU SPOKE ABOUT, THE GREEN SPACES THAT YOU SPOKE ABOUT?

[00:50:01]

I LOOKED AT THE PICTURE, BUT I'M NOT CLEAR.

I SEE THAT YOU HAD A FEW BICYCLE PATHS, RIGHT? SOME WALKING, BUT THEY HAVE WALKING PATHS.

I GUESS THEY COULD WALK AROUND THE BICYCLE PATH.

IS THAT WHAT THE PLAN IS? YEAH, IT'S A IT'S A MULTI USE PATH I GUESS IS WHAT I WOULD CHARACTERIZE IT AT.

THE WOODLANDS COMMUNITY DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE SIDEWALKS WITHIN IT AND SO WE ARE CREATING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR RUNNING, JOGGING, BIKING AS YOU SEE ON ALL THE YELLOW LINES AROUND THE COMMUNITY.

OKAY, THAT'S ENOUGH.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTIONS.

ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? I DO HAVE A QUICK FOLLOW UP.

OKAY. THE FDOT IMPROVEMENTS HE LEFT, THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE SCHEDULED, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHEN THAT'S SLATED FOR? NO, I DON'T. WELL, I DO FEEL A LITTLE BIT MORE AT EASE THAT FDOT IS LOOKING AT THE COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD CORRIDOR.

SO THAT WILL DEFINITELY TAKE SOME OF THE, YOU KNOW, THE TRAFFIC PAINS AWAY.

THE FDOT IMPROVEMENTS ARE SCHEDULED FOR FISCAL YEAR 24.

HOWEVER, THEY ARE ALSO SCHEDULED TO DELIVER A PRESENTATION TO THE CITY COMMISSION AT THE NOVEMBER 6TH WORKSHOP.

AND THEY'RE ITEM THAT AGREEMENT THAT STAFF HAS REFERENCED IS SCHEDULED TO GO BEFORE THE CITY COMMISSION NOVEMBER 8TH.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THAT GIVES ME EASE THE SECURITY GATES.

WAS THAT A REQUIREMENT OF THE COMMUNITY OR OF YOUR DEVELOPMENT? IT'S INTERESTING. I WOULDN'T TELL YOU.

I THINK IT KIND OF CAME UP AS PART OF ONGOING DISCUSSIONS EARLY IN THE PROCESS, AS WE AS A DEVELOPER WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT AND PULL.

I TOLD YOU VERY EARLY ON THAT THAT MYSELF AND I ONLY ATTENDED ONE SET OF EIGHT MEETINGS AT THESE AT THESE INDIVIDUAL CLUBHOUSES.

MY CLIENTS ATTENDED MULTIPLE AND THEY WERE THEY WERE NOT EASY MEETINGS TO BE TO PARTICIPATE IN.

BUT WHAT WE TRIED TO DO WAS TAKE A POLL AND GET A FEEL AS THE CONVERSATION KEPT GOING FOR WHAT WAS IMPORTANT TO THE COMMUNITY.

THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT DON'T WANT IT.

THERE'S NO QUESTION IN MY MIND.

RIGHT. BUT AS THIS MOVE FORWARD AND IS I GUESS TO ANSWER THE QUESTION THAT I JUST GOT, THERE'S ENOUGH PEOPLE THAT EITHER, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, DON'T CARE OR DO CARE AND WANT IT. THAT WAS THE DIRECTION WE WERE ENCOURAGED TO MOVE IN AND THAT WAS THE DIRECTION.

WE WERE ALSO ENCOURAGED TO MOVE IN THROUGH MULTIPLE DISCUSSIONS WITH CITY STAFF, WITH THE CITY COMMISSION.

SO THAT'S HOW WE ARRIVED AT IT.

I WOULDN'T SAY IT EVER WAS REALLY A REQUIREMENT.

IT'S NOT REQUIRED. IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS I CAN'T SAY EVERYONE I DON'T WANT THE RIGHT TERMINOLOGY IS AS WE WORK COLLABORATIVELY THROUGH THE PROCESS, THE BEST DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, IF IT WAS GOING TO MOVE FORWARD, WAS GOING TO INCLUDE THE RESTRICTED ACCESS.

OKAY. WHAT ABOUT CONSTRUCTION PHASES? YES. SO I BELIEVE WE HAVE A FIVE PHASE CONSTRUCTION PLAN.

I THINK WE HAVE A PLAN THAT'S CURRENTLY IN IT'S AN OLD PLAN, BUT THE IDEA WOULD BE TO MOVE ORDERLY IN AND AROUND THE COMMUNITY.

RIGHT. THERE'S A LOT OF LAND DEVELOPMENT WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

THERE'S A LOT OF LAKES THAT NEED TO BE DUG.

BUT THE IDEA WOULD BE TO KIND OF START WE DON'T KNOW WHERE YET, BUT START IN ONE PLACE AND WORK OUR WAY AROUND SO THAT THE IMPACT FROM CONSTRUCTION WITHIN THE COMMUNITY IS MINIMIZED TO WHATEVER PERIOD OF TIME YOU'RE WORKING IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA OF THE COMMUNITY.

OKAY. RIGHT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL.

WELL, SIR, THE QUESTION I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS, BUT I'M TRYING TO.

NO PROBLEM. WHEN? IF THIS PROJECT IS APPROVED, WHEN DID YOU FIRST SEE THE PROJECT WILL BE STARTED AND WHEN WILL YOU BE FINISHED? BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO REALLY IMPACT.

I'D LOVE TO BE DONE BY NOW.

IT'S BEEN SIX YEARS NEXT YEAR.

YEAH. YEAH. SO, YEAH.

SO THERE'S OBVIOUSLY PERMITTING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

I MEAN, WE'RE IN FOR PERMITTING.

WE'RE TALKING TO EVERY SINGLE REGULATORY AGENCY THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE, BUT OBVIOUSLY CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH UNTIL A SITE PLAN IS FINALIZED.

SO IDEALLY, WE WOULD HAVE PERMITS LATE Q1, EARLY Q2.

SO LET'S CALL IT MARCH, APRIL OF NEXT YEAR IF THIS IS APPROVED AS IT MOVES FORWARD ON THE CURRENT TRACK THAT WE'RE ON.

AND THEN WHAT DO WE THINK? IT'S LIKE A FIVE YEAR IT'S PROBABLY A FIVE YEAR CYCLE WORKING IN DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE COMMUNITY.

OKAY. WOULD YOU CONSIDER GIVING THE CITY SOME MORE MONEY? BECAUSE THE ROAD IS GOING TO BE A MESS AND THEY'RE GOING TO NEED ALL THE MONEY THEY CAN GET TO GET THIS GOING.

I UNDERSTAND. AND THE BEST WAY THAT I CAN ANSWER THAT IS AS PART OF ALL OF THE APPROVALS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN PLACE, THAT IS ONE VERY SMALL PIECE OF THE EQUATION.

THERE'S THERE'S A LOT OF DOLLARS FROM THIS PROJECT AND IMPACT FEES AND VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS AND COMMITMENTS THAT ARE BEING GIVEN TO THE CITY.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTIONS.

ANY ADDITIONAL? YES. ALEXANDRIA.

SORRY. ONE OTHER QUESTION, NIKOLE I FORGOT ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

[00:55:04]

IS THERE GOING TO BE ANY CONSIDERATION AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT LOW, LOW INCOME, I'M TALKING ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

YEAH, IT CAN BE DONE.

WORKFORCE, WORKFORCE HOUSING I THINK IS PROBABLY WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

AND THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IS NO AS WELL.

UM, AGAIN, THIS PROJECT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR A VERY LONG TIME, BUT THAT ISSUE IS SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSED AND TACKLED MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGH THIS.

AND THERE ARE EVEN SOME RESIDENTS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, SOME OF WHICH WERE HERE TODAY, THAT WERE VERY ADAMANT THAT THAT NOT BE A PART OF THIS PROJECT.

AND SO SO, YES, WE ARE CONTRIBUTING.

I MENTIONED DOLLARS THAT ARE BEING CONTRIBUTED.

AND SO WE ARE CONTRIBUTING UNDER OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT PER UNIT TOWARDS WORKFORCE HOUSING.

THE CITY HAS A FUND, THE CITY UTILIZES THAT FUND.

THEY'VE DONE SO ON OTHER PROJECTS.

I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN TO HELP DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE AND OTHER THINGS THAT I'M SURE MISS CALLOWAY COULD SPEND MORE TIME TALKING ABOUT.

SO WE ARE ADDRESSING IT, BUT WE ARE NOT PROVIDING IT WITH WITHIN ANY OF THE 335 UNITS.

THANK YOU, ALEXANDRA.

IS IT AT ALL POSSIBLE? AM I ABLE TO PROPOSE THAT WE CONSIDER AN UPDATED TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS THAT INCLUDES THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS AS WELL AS THE DATA TRENDS THAT ARE, I GUESS OR WILL BE ANTICIPATED WITH THE 397 NEW HOMES.

IS THAT POSSIBLE? CAN YOU REITERATE THE QUESTION? AM I ABLE TO PROPOSE THAT WE EITHER TABLE THIS CONVERSATION RIGHT FOR AN UPDATED TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS THAT INCLUDES THE SURROUNDING NEW DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS AND THE DATA TRENDS? RIGHT. MOVING FORWARD WITH THE 397 NEW HOMES.

I'M I'M, I'M SORRY.

335 IF I MAY AND I'D BE HAPPY TO THE CONDITION THAT THIS IS EITHER PROVIDED OR THAT I THINK THAT'S A QUESTION FOR OUR ATTORNEY.

I BELIEVE IT'S ALREADY BEEN PROVIDED.

THAT'S THE POINT I WANT TO MAKE.

YES. SO YOUR CITY'S TRAFFIC ENGINEERING IN IN YOUR PRESENTATION.

I DID NOT RECEIVE HARD FACTS.

I RECEIVED, YOU KNOW, THAT THERE'S SOME MODIFICATIONS WITH SPECIFIC GEOMETRIC IMPROVEMENTS.

I SAW THAT THERE WERE SOME ACCOMMODATIONS TO THE PAD G AREA.

I SAW THE ENTRANCES AND THE THOSE ELEMENTS.

BUT I'M NOT SEEING HARD CORE FACTS SO THAT I CAN HAVE OR WE CAN HAVE A NUMBER TO COMPARE, YOU KNOW, TO COMPARE DATA.

AND LISTEN, FOR US, TABLING THIS IS NOT AN OPTION.

WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

MY TRAFFIC ENGINEER IS HERE, SO IS YOURS HAPPY TO GET THEM BACK UP HERE? THEY CAN PULL OUT THEIR TRAFFIC REPORTS.

THEY CAN READ YOU ALL OF THE DATA, THE INFORMATION.

WHAT YOU JUST ASKED FOR IS PART OF THE REPORTS.

WHATEVER IT IS, HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES, WE'RE HAPPY TO GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

BUT ALL OF THOSE HARD FACTS AND DATA AND INFORMATION ARE THERE IN THE SUMMARIES THAT YOU'RE HEARING FROM TWO DIFFERENT EXPERTS THAT ARE I THINK ARE EXPERT AND YOURS IS ASKING YOU TO RELY ON THEIR REVIEW THAT THEY'VE ALREADY DONE.

BUT IF YOU WANT THE SPECIFIC NUTS AND BOLTS OF IT, IT'S HERE, IT'S IN THIS ROOM AND WE CAN CERTAINLY PROVIDE IT.

DOES THAT ADEQUATELY, ADEQUATELY ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? OR DO YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE IF THAT'S WHAT THE PLANNING BOARD WANTS TO DO? SO I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON AS PART OF THIS PLANNING BOARD, SO IT'S SOMETHING FOR US TO DECIDE UPON.

BUT I STILL DO HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING TO, AS I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, THE ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS THAT WERE REPORTED.

I STILL DO HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING TO WHAT THAT DATA TREND WILL ANTICIPATE WITH THE 335 NEW HOMES.

SO I DO HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING THAT.

OKAY, MADAM CHAIR, MAYBE WE COULD ASK ONE OF THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERS IF THAT IS INFORMATION THAT IS USUALLY REQUIRED IN A TRAFFIC STUDY.

I'M NOT SURE THAT IT IS.

AND. AND THEN IF IT'S NOT, THAT'S AT LEAST GET IT ON THE RECORD.

YEAH. HI.

CARL PETERSON, TRAFFIC ENGINEER TO THE CITY.

I'LL JUMP IN HERE VERY QUICKLY.

LIKE I SAID, THIS PROJECT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR 4 OR 5 YEARS.

FROM A TRAFFIC STANDPOINT, WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR IS ABSOLUTELY PART OF A STANDARD TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY.

WHEN WE LOOK AT FUTURE CONDITIONS, WE LOOK AT CUSTOMARILY OTHER COMMITTED APPROVED DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN THE AREA AS WELL AS THE BACKGROUND GROWTH RATE TO MORE OR LESS TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION OTHER PROJECTS THAT MIGHT BE SMALLER, YOU KNOW, THAT DIDN'T REQUIRE A TRAFFIC STUDY, SMALLER INFILL DEVELOPMENT.

AND WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THIS SCOPING PROCESS WITH THE APPLICANT, WE IDENTIFIED FIVE PROJECTS TO BE INCLUDED, AND THEY WERE BAILEY SQUARE, CENTRAL PARK MANOR PARK, ROCK ISLAND, SELF STORAGE, SAFEGUARD STORAGE AND THE INVERARY VACATION CLUB.

[01:00:05]

SO THOSE PROJECTS AND THE TRAFFIC ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE DEVELOPMENTS WERE INCLUDED AS BACKGROUND TRAFFIC ALONG WITH THE BACKGROUND GROWTH RATE.

SO WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR, YES, THAT'S THAT'S BEEN ADDRESSED.

IF I DON'T KNOW IF ADAM HAS ANYTHING TO ADD TO THAT.

BUT JUST REST ASSURED FROM THE CITY STANDPOINT THAT THAT IS ABSOLUTELY PART OF SOMETHING THAT IS CONSIDERED IN A BASIC TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY.

AND WE HAVE ASKED FOR THAT.

AND SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS HAVE OBVIOUSLY SINCE BEEN BUILT, BUT IT'S STILL INCLUDED IN THE BACKGROUND TRAFFIC JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE GOT THAT EXTRA LAYER OF CUSHION THERE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE EVALUATING A WORST CASE SCENARIO.

MAYBE I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING SOMETHING, BUT I STILL FEEL THAT I DON'T HAVE THE SPECIFICS.

SO AND WHEN I'M REFERRING TO THE SPECIFICS, FOR EXAMPLE, RIGHT, THERE'S A TRAFFIC LIGHT RIGHT THERE TOWARDS THE THE CURRENT EXIT.

I'M CONSIDERING AND I'M LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, COMING DOWN COMMERCIAL, RIGHT.

AND NOW WITH A NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL BE CREATED WITH 335 PROPERTIES AND THE IMPACT.

NOW, I UNDERSTAND THE ROADWAYS, BUT WHAT I'M NOT HEARING IS THE SPECIFICS IN REGARDS TO THE TIMING, SIGNALING THE ENTRANCE AND EXIT AND EXACTLY WHAT THAT WILL IMPOSE TO THE REPORT THAT YOU GUYS ARE SAYING HAS BEEN UPDATED.

I'M NOT QUITE HEARING THAT.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? I'LL TRY AGAIN AND MAYBE ADAM WANTS TO TRY, BUT I'LL TRY.

SO THE THE ANALYSIS, WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IS, OKAY, NUMBER ONE, THE IMPACT.

RIGHT. AND UNDERSTANDING THAT, YES, YOUR ANALYSIS INDICATED THAT THERE WILL BE SOME CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS THAT NEED TO BE MADE.

CORRECT? NUMBER SO THE SECOND SO YES, I UNDERSTAND THAT IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE MADE.

HOWEVER, I DON'T HAVE SPECIFICS TO THAT IMPROVEMENT AND WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN FOR THE THE THE LOCAL RESIDENT THAT'S TRYING TO GET DOWN COMMERCIAL AT 730 IN THE MORNING AND ARE TRYING TO CATCH TURNPIKE.

I MEAN, I'M LATE TO WORK EVERY DAY CURRENTLY SO YOU KNOW IT DOES DIRECTLY IMPACT ME AS A RESIDENT.

I'M SURE OTHER RESIDENTS AS WELL.

AND SO WHAT WILL MY LIFE LOOK LIKE AFTER THESE 397 HOMES ARE ARE BUILT OR WHATEVER HAVE YOU? 335 I KEEP STANDING CORRECTED ON THAT.

AND HOW WILL THAT IMPACT US AS A COMMUNITY CONSIDERING THAT WE HAVE OTHER SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE ALSO BEING, AS YOU DESCRIBED, BUILT RIGHT SIMULTANEOUSLY.

SO THERE IS THAT CONCERNING FACTOR.

AGAIN, I ASKED IN REGARDS TO THE ACCIDENTS AND THE DEATHS THAT TAKE PLACE, PARTICULARLY IN THAT CORNER, BECAUSE IT IS A HOTSPOT IN OUR COMMUNITY.

AND I DID NOT GET A SPECIFIC NUMBER ON THAT.

SO, YOU KNOW, WITH THAT IN MIND, I WOULD LOVE CLARITY ON THAT.

I THINK ADAM MIGHT HAVE A SLIDE FOR YOU HERE.

AND WHAT I CAN ADD IS SPECIFIC TO COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD.

WHAT I'M HEARING YOU SAY IS HOW WILL YOUR EXPERIENCE BE DIFFERENT WITH WITH YES, WITH THE WOODLANDS TRAFFIC.

AND BECAUSE OF THE ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'RE MAKING, AS WELL AS THE SIGNAL RETIMING IN ALL SITUATIONS OF THOSE THREE INTERSECTIONS.

SO THAT'S THE MAIN ENTRANCE AT WOODLANDS AS WELL AS THE THE ROCK ISLAND INTERSECTION AND THE 64TH AVENUE INTERSECTION.

THE DELAY WE MEASURE IN TERMS OF DELAY, HOW MANY SECONDS YOU'RE DELAYED COMPARED TO IF THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC SIGNAL THERE.

THAT DELAY DECREASES ONCE THE PROJECT IS ONCE THE PROJECT TRAFFIC IS ADDED TO TO COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD.

SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU'LL WAIT NOT AS LONG AT THOSE THREE INTERSECTIONS BECAUSE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS WE'RE MAKING, EVEN THOUGH WE ARE ADDING TRAFFIC TO THEM. BUT IF I STAND CORRECTED, THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS.

THIS IS JUST FOR THIS COMMUNITY, CORRECT.

THIS INCLUDES ALL OF THE TRAFFIC, THE ONES THAT CARL MENTIONED AS WELL.

SO THOSE THE LIST THAT YOU PROVIDED DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PROPERTY THAT IS BEING BUILT BY THE OLD TARGET ON COMMERCIAL AND UNIVERSITY AREA.

IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE ONE ON PINE ISLAND AND MCNABB.

ALL RIGHT. MCNABB AND PINE ISLAND.

IT ALSO DOESN'T INCLUDE THE OTHER COMMUNITY OFFSETTING, I THINK, CLOSE TO BAILEY.

SO, AGAIN, ALL OF THOSE ARE GOING TO IMPACT THE TRAFFIC.

AND I'M SORRY, I KNOW THAT IT'S NOT SPECIFIC TO YOUR DEVELOPMENT PROCEDURE AND PROCESS, BUT AS A CONCERNED

[ 9.a TR14013 - A resolution of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, granting site plan approval (major) with conditions to allow for the development of the subject property, formerly known as the Woodlands Golf Course, to permit the construction of three hundred thirty-five (335) single family homes in nine (9) separate pods for properties located south of W Commercial Boulevard, North of NW 44 Street, East of NW 64 Avenue, and West of Rock Island road, situated on various portions of the former “Woodlands Golf Course”, Tamarac, Florida (Case No. 14-SP-19); providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date.]

CITIZEN AND RESIDENT OF THE CITY OF TAMARAC, WE'RE FORGETTING THOSE MITIGATING FACTORS THAT WILL IMPACT ALL OF US DIRECTLY.

[01:05:05]

OKAY. AND I CAN'T SPEAK TO EACH ONE OF THOSE PROJECTS SPECIFICALLY, BUT I DO KNOW THAT SOME OF THEM ARE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS AND SOMETIMES REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS CAN RESULT IN. THAT'S ALSO TRUE. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

YES, IT CAN RESULT IN LESS TRAFFIC THAN WHAT WAS THERE PREVIOUSLY.

SO I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND.

BUT ALSO, LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, YOU KNOW, AS PROJECTS MOVE FORWARD, WE CAN'T ALWAYS ANTICIPATE A LOT OF DIFFERENT CHANGES THAT ARE OCCURRING WITH ON PROJECTS THAT ARE COMING ONLINE OR THAT ARE GETTING APPROVED, MAYBE GETTING APPROVED IN ADJACENT MUNICIPALITIES THAT WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER.

AND THAT'S ANOTHER REASON WHY WE TYPICALLY CONCLUDE INCLUDE A BACKGROUND GROWTH RATE ABOVE AND BEYOND THE APPROVED DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS THAT HAVE THAT WE'VE ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE ANALYSIS.

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHY WE DO THAT, IS TO REFLECT THAT FACT THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE OTHER PROJECTS THAT COME ALONG AS THE PROJECT MOVES FORWARD.

CAN I SEE YOUR BACKGROUND GROWTH RATE THAT WAS PROJECTED? WE WE APPLIED AND IT'S APPLIED ON A YEARLY BASIS.

1.25%. AND THAT'S COMPOUNDED EVERY YEAR.

WE'VE ACTUALLY LOOKED BACK THE PAST FEW YEARS AND IT'S BEEN IN REALITY, IT'S BEEN LESS THAN THAT.

BUT THE 1.25 IS TO ACCOUNT FOR EXACTLY WHAT KARL SAID, THINGS THAT MAY BE HAPPENING OUTSIDE THE COMMUNITY, REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
