VZ~[.C.11. Proposed Resolution Re: Executing Letter of Appointment for
Herbert D. Kelley, 3r., as Assistant Public Works Director/City Engineer
In response to a concern raised by Mayor Broening, City Manager Bressner said that it has been
past practice that the Commission approves initial appointment agreements until such time as
the Charter is revised.
VZT.D.:L. New Alliance Haitian Church (NWSP 01-008), Hoadley Road (east side,
south end) - Request for site plan approval for a one-story (240 seat) church on a
1.9-acre parcel (Tab/ed.)
City Manager Bressner reported that the City had a meeting with representatives of the
homeowners in the area last week. He thought that they would want to offer testimony at the
Commission meeting. City Attorney Cherof stated that after the item is removed from the table,
it would go into a quasi-judicial hearing.
Mayor Broening would prefer that the process be handled the way it has been done in the past;
that is, the Commission would first hear staff's presentation, the applicant's presentation, and
then they would hear from people who have qualifications to oppose on whatever quasi-
grounds they may have and then from all others.
City Attorney Cherof explained that the Commission had two choices - either pull the item from
the consent agenda to hear it on November 6t~ or set a time-certain for a public hearing. There
was discussion on what process would be used.
City Manager Bressner believes that the residents are going to request that the item be sent
back to the Planning & Development Board (P & D) because they felt that the P & D did not
complete their review since they did not forward a specific recommendation regarding the
roadway. The issue of who pays for what is almost resolved but he is still waiting for answers
on some water utility issues.
Quintus Greene, Development Director, stated that his only concern was that one of the main
issues that the residents expressed was that they never felt they had a chance to be heard by
the Commission.
City Attorney Cherof thought that it would be a better process to set a time specific public
hearing. :It could be set up for several weeks from now and, in the interim, ask P & D to make
a recommendation regarding the road. Mayor Broening would prefer this process so that there
would be a full Commission present for the hearing.

City Manager Bressner suggested that the Commission could remand it back to P & D for a
public hearing and then it would return to the Commission sometime in December.
VII.D.2. The Watershed (NWSP 02-015), Lots 48 A, B, C and D, Quantum Park
PID - Request for site plan approval for a 282,404 square foot, 332-bed
rehabilitation hospital on a 6.48-acre site in the Quantum Park P~[D
City Manager Bressner stated that there would probably be similar requests to pull item D.2
from the agenda as there will be residents in the audience objecting to the recommendation.
He distributed copies of the .lune 4th minutes to the Commission so that they could review their
original discussion regarding this item.
ZX.B. Ordinance on first reading rescinding LDR Chapter 2, Zoning, Section ~1.3.
Environmental Review and associated references to Environmental Review Permit or
the Environmental Review Committee (TBA)
City Attorney Cherof reported that this item would be coming forward to the Commission. ~[t
was previously held up because of a specific piece of property that went into bankruptcy where
the environmental rule was an issue in the underlying lawsuit.
X~[.A. Formalizing public notification procedures
City Manager Bressner stated that what has emerged from items VII.D.1 and D.2 is a request
from the Planning & Development Board that our notice requirements change to require
notification to surrounding property owners for site plans which is much more than surrounding
communities do.
Mayor Broening expressed opposition to this because he thought that individuals have some
responsibility. Commissioner Ferguson was also opposed to formalizing this process.
XTT.C.1. Proposed Resolution Re: Consent and support for the
annexation of property by the Town of Lantana and waiving annexation provisions
of water service agreements which affect those properties
In response to a question from Mayor Broening, City Attorney Cherof did not believe the City
had ever waived the annexation provision for properties that have these agreements. However,
he did not think that waiving the provision in this particular case would establish a precedent.
OTHER
Doug Hutchinson, CRA Director, announced that there would be a presentation regarding the
use of the old high school at the November 12th CRA meeting.
