C Commissioner Stahl requested to report on a meeting he had attende on Thursday regarding the referendum proposed for the March 10th ballot. Mayor Koch directed that with the permission of the Commission he would like to add the matter of the proposed tree cutting along AlA by the Florida Department of Transportation. There were no objections and Mayor Koch directed that Commissioner Stahl present his report at this time, to be followed by the discussion of the tree matter. Commissioner Stahl reported that he had attended a meeting the day before that was conducted by the organization, Save Our Local Environment. He advised this group has organized for the purpose of educating the voters about the drastic impact that would be felt in the future if the County- wide Growth Management Land Use Authority Charter Amendment passes. Town Commission - Regular Meeting February 14, 1992 page 2 He advised this amendment is expected to be on the ballot at the March 10, 1992 election. Commissioner Stahl gave the background on the creation and demise of the previous Countywide Planning Council and advised that if this charter amendment to the Palm Beach County Charter is passed, it will give the County Commission final say on the land use and all things related to it in all of the municipalities as well as the unincorporated areas. He urged every voter to vote, and to vote NO to the amendment on March 10, 1992. He further urged those who are not voters in Florida to influence their friends who are voters to vote NO. Commissioner Stahl then added that everyone can also help by sending a donation to the Save Our Local Environment group to help defray the cost of the campaign to defeat this amendment. Attorney Randolph advised that legal action had been filed by a group of 24 municipalities, one of whom is the Town of Gulf Stream, in an effort to have this removed from the ballot. Failing to do so, every effort must be made to defeat the amendment at the polls, he said. Mr. Randolph stressed the unfavorable impact this would have on all municipalities, adding that the municipal officials are quite concerned with this, seeing it as a very big step toward metro government. Mayor KoSSh explained that approximately two weeks previous, DOT had contac Nown Manager Harrington to advise they planned to do tree work along AlA and asked to meet with him. In meeting with them, Mr. Harrington was able to persuade DOT to only remove the trees that were actually dead and to trim the others. The trees were so marked. Subsequent to that, DOT returned advising that to do the trimming it would cost $22,000.00 as opposed to $9,000.00 to cut the trees that were planned for trimming. They further advised that the trees that they had agreed to trim were in the process of dying so there would be a removal cost in the not too distant future on top of the trimming. The Mayor went on to report that Mr. Harrington was able to get DOT to agree that they would hold off any activity until the Town had been given an opportunity to review the trees that they had marked for removal. Mayor Koch then asked Town Manager Harrington to explain the facts of the situation. A copy of the fact sheet is attached and made a part of these minutes. During the discussion it was pointed out that DOT would "give" the right -of -way to the Town but in so doing, also gives all of the liability along with it; something the Town could not afford to assume. In addition, it was pointed out that several healthy Austrailian Pines were scheduled for removal at the intersection of Golfview and AlA due to them obstructing the vision for vehicles entering onto PIA. Mr. Harrington explained that DOT had expressed a willingness to negotiate on the extent of the cutting. OMayor Koch then asked from comment from the public. Rogers stated that the Town had not presented any plan as to what they were going to negotiate with. He advocated that a "political deal" be cut with pressure being brought to bear on higher authorities in DOT and wanted a small committee made up of Mrs. Breazeale, Barbara Whittaker and Perry O'Neil,being appointed by the Commission. Attorney Randolph advised he would not recommend that the Commission appoint a committee as that would make it necessary that the committee follow all of the sunshine laws, but pointed out that the citizens could ogranize themselves for this purpose Town Commission- Regular Meeting February 14, 1992 page -3- John Breazeale expressed his outrage at the proposed action of DOT. Mayor Koch assured Mr. Breazeale that the Commission was also outraged. He addeded that the Town had faced this same problem of keeping the trees several times in the past and been successful but that the trees were much younger then and there was not the question of them being in the advanced stages of rotting from the inside as they are now. C+ Chris Fliskes believed th because of the neglect by DOT over the years when they were not prunedrhad added to the demise of the trees. Jean Breazeale reported that the State Law has now prohibited the planting of Austr:- Pine,designating them as a trash tree. She believed that while the tree is causing problems in the interior of Florida, it is not a problem along the coastal areas where they can be properly managed. She further believed that the law could be changed to exempt the coastal areas from the regulations. Mrs. Breazeale went on to advise that she had had Zimmerman Tree Co. look at the trees and they had reported that most of the Australian Pines along AlA are dying due to the fact they have reached the end of their life span in this particular environment. They also advised that Florida Power & Light had slaughtered them over the years in the way they had trimmed them away from their lines. Mrs. Breazeale stated that Mrs. Tiernan had engaged another tree expert to look at the trees and he had found some of them healthy and suggests pruning and replanting. Mrs. Breazeale urged that a long term plan of restoration be established adding that this is a problem since nothing will grow under the Australian Pine due to the chemical released by the needles that fall. She hoped that it could be made possible to plant Australian Pine. Joan DuPont, living in the Somerset, advocated finding some way to trim the trees. James Neeves favored going to higher authorities in DOT. Bruce McKinney suggested the Town put up the money needed for the trimming and let DOT keep the liability. Attorney Randolph doubted that DOT would be in a position to do that. Sarah Brown stated that the citizens in Gulf:'Stream care about the trees and a (rthetics and the Town identifies with Australian Pines. She felt the people should have a say in this matter, citing the fact that she has received a 400% increase in her taxes in the past 4 years. OChristian Kling supports a move to have the State Law amended to allow Australian Pines in coastal areas and offered to chair a committe to go to Tallahassee for this purpose. Hugh Carey, relating to his experiences while being Governor of the State of New York, recognized the difficult position the Commission has been placed in with having the follow the laws and yet trying to do what the citizens want done. He stated that it had been his experience that the Transportation Departments are very powerful and not easily overtuned. He volunteered to assist in any way he could in this difficult situation. Town Commission- Regular Meeting February 14, 1992 page -4- Ms. Handley from Representative Foley's office offered Mr. Foley's_ assistance in working thru the Bureaucracy in Tallahassee if that is the Town's decision. It was suggested that perhaps the Town owners to replant on their property, e GCommissioner Wallace reported that she property owners who is anxious to save person that while they wanted the tree on their property. could require the adjacent property Liminating contact with DOT. had suggested this to one of the the trees but was advised by that lined road, they did not want them Commissioner Stahl moved to direct the Mayor and Town Manager to meet immediately with DOT personnel and other appropriate State Officials to delay the cutting down of the trees as much as possible with a view toward gaining time to save the maximum number of trees until the Town can develop a long term plan consisting of the many good suggestions heard here this morning, working towards solving this problem. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Cross. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. Stahl; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE. VI. Announcements A. March 13, 1992 regular meeting. Commissioner Stahl advised he would be unable to be present at the March meeting. Commissioner Cross also advised he would most likely not be able to attend.: VII. PUBLIC HEARING A. Variance 1.

Town Manager Harrington, in the absence of the Chairman of the Architectural Review and Planning Board, advised that the ARPB had recommended approval of the variance as requested with the condition that the area between the addition and the existing wall on the west property line remain un- covered and free from any kitchen equipment, and provided that the existing wall on the west property line be increased in height as requested by the property owners on the west side of the wall.

Commissioner Wallace moved that the site plan amendment be approved as requested and recommended by the ARPB. The motion was seconded by Commis- sioner Stahl. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm.

Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Stahl; AYE, and Commissioner Cross; AYE. Commissioner Cross returned the gavel to Mayor Koch. C� IX. Reports A. Town Manager 1. Comprehensive Water Reduction Strategy. Commissioner Stahl complimented Town Manager Harrington on his preparation of the document. Mayor Koch observed that this is a very lengthy document and will require considerable time for proper consideration. He suggested that a workshop be held. All Commissioners were in agreement and a workshop was scheduled for March 27, 1992 at 9 A.M. 2. Golf Carts on Public Streets It was agreed that this item would be placed on first reading at the regular meeting to be held March 13, 1992 at 9 A.M. 3. Florida Power & Light "On -Call Program" Inasmuch as it was determined by the Town Manager from contact with Florida Power & Light that the "On -Call Program" would not be offered in Gulf Stream due to the $85.00 fees charged by the County and the Town, the Town Manager recommended that the Gulf Stream building permit process be waived for work connected with this program with the contractors having to only conform to the requirements of Palm Beach County. He added that he believed that very few would be interested in the program and it would therefore have very little impact. This program is of benefit to the piblic interest as it promotes energy conservation, he said, and would not set a precedent. Commissioner Wallace moved that the fee and entire permit- ting process for the Town of Gulf Stream be waived for the "On -Call Program ". The motion was seconded by Commissioner Stahl. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. Stahl; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE. 4. Notice Policy for ARPB Applications The Town Manager presented a proposed notification policy for applications for certain development approvals as was requested by the Town Commission. The proposed policy provides that a notice be sent to all property owners within 25' of the development site with rights -of way and waterways not included in the 25' dimension. Commissioner Wallace and Commissioner Stahl seconded that the policy be adopted. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. Stahl; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE. Town Commission - Regular Meeting February 14, 1992 page -6- 5. Town Hall Connection to Sanitary Sewer The Town Manager reported that there have recently been problems with the septic system which serves the maintenance building which houses the paramedics. It is believed that the drainfield is either clogged or in need of replacement, he said. He added that a cleaning process would cost approximately $500 and installation of a new drainfield would be approximately $900 to $1,000. He further advised that it appears the septic systems for the Town Hall and the Police Department are working properly and are approximately 6 years old. Mr. Harrington then called attention to the fact that it would be possible to connect to the Homeowners Sewer System that is now in place and function- ing. He stated that if it is the desire of the Commission to do so, he would suggest that it be done in two phases with the Town Hall and maintenance building in phase one and the police department in phase two. The estimated cost for the entire project whould be approximately $20,000, with annual costs being approximately $500 +. Commissioner Stahl asked if the Town would have to become a member of the Homeowners Association to which Attorney Randolph replied that he wouldn't want that to happen and suggested that perhaps a separate agreement would be necessary. Mr. Hallock, representing the Association stated that he felt it could be worked out so the Town would not be a member. Mrs. Wallace stated that she would like very much to support the Homeowner's Association by connection of the Town's facilities but in view of the large difference in costs, she did' not believe it to be feasible at this time. Commissioner Stahl moved and Commissioner Cross seconded that the Town Manager be authorized to either repair or replace the existing septic system serving the maintenance building and that no connection be made to the Homeowner's System at this time. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. Stahl; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE. 6. Solid Waste Proposed Volume Based Disposal System of Rates Town Manager Harrington advised that there may be a change in the Solid Waste Authority's billing that, if implemented,could have a budgetary impact on cities for fiscal year 1992 -1993. He stated that a task force had been created to study the feasibility of a volume based system of rates for residential customers but that it appears the task force has strayed from it's assignment and is now trying to determine how a volume based system can be implemented. The findings are to be presented to the SWA Board on March 18, 1992, he said. Mr. Harrington advised that the Palm Beach County Municipal League is quite concerned about this and is following it closely, as are several municipalities. B. Town Attorney 0 1. Status of Draft of amendment to boat and RV Parking Regulation Attorney Randolph called attention to the draft of an Ordinance to amend the existing provisions of the Code to require that these items also be screened from direct view from the public rights -of -way. The Commissioners agreed that this item shall be placed on the agenda of the workshop meeting that will be held on March 27, 1992 at 9 A.M. 2. Status of Draft of an amendment to the sign code Attorney Randolph advised that the document is in the agenda packet. Mayor Koch felt that a provision should be included to prohibit signs to be placed at any location other than on the property to which the sign message refers. The Commissioners directed that this matter also be placed on the workshop agenda for March 27, 1992 at 9 A.M. Town Commission - Regular Meeting February 14, 1992 page -7- Attorney Randolph added that the law suit, to which Gulf Stream is a party, regarding the removal of the referendum item that would grant countywide growth management authority to the county commission covered several points, four of which are as follows: 1) This would amount to a transfer of power which is unconstitutional without a dual referendum being successful. 2) The ballot language is misleading. 3) ordinance 92 -1 is invalid in that it includes more than one subject. 4) Charter amendments are required in the consolidation of governments. He advised that a hearing on the suit will be held on February 24, 1992 before Judge Stevenson. C. Financial Director 1. Financial Report for January, 1992 In the absence of the Mr. Gwynn, Financial Director, Town Manager Harrington presented the financial report for January, 1992. Commissioner Wallace moved that the report be accepted as presented, seconded by Commissioner Stahl. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. Stahl; AYE, amd Mayor Koch; AYE. D. Architectural Review and Planning Board Town Manager Harrington, in the absence of the Chairman of the ARPB,advised that the Board had not considered any matters at their January meeting other than the variance and site plan reviews that were covered earlier in this meeting. E. Police Department Chief Schultz presented his report of police activity for January adding that they are still providing a diversity of patrols which includes beach patrol on the ATV during evening and night time hours. F. Construction in Progress The report revealed there to be $8,110,384 worth of construction in progress during the month of January, 1992. X. Correspondence A. Resolution #92 -03 supporting State Constitutional amendment to provide for voter control of city taxes -City of Greenacres It was explained that there is proposed state legislation to permit city government to establish their own tax sources rather than being restricted by certain higher agencies regarding the sources and the caps on the the amounts charged. It is felt that the local taxpayers should have a direct involvement in the process since it directly affects them. It was noted that some municipalites are at, or near,the cap on millage and that revenue sharing programs have been drastically reduced leaving the municipalities with no place to turn for funds to operate their towns. It was further reported that the Florida League of Cities is supporting this legislation. The Commission requested that they be kept C; informed regarding this matter. XI. Public Mr. Dean Hill, Town Resident, suggested that we ask the County Commission for assistance in keeping the Australian Pine Trees citing the belief that the trees add to the value of the property and removing them would reduce the tax base, thus reduce revenue to the County. Mayor Koch did not believe the County Commission would be interested in this but added that he would contact our County Commission representative on it. XII. Adjournment. Mayor Koch adjourned the meeting at 11:00 A.M. Rita L. Tayl , Town Clerk AUSTRALIAN PINE FACT SHEET 1. Life Expectancy - In their natural setting, pines may live up to 200 years. However, in urban and coastal areas, life span is severely decreased. State ( forestry department says average life span for any urban tree is only 30 years. At 60 - 80 years old, these trees are well beyond average life and near death. 2. Problems with Pines - Aside from their negative impacts on natural environments, these pines create problems for developed areas. These include: - long, thin branches that snap easily in moderate to high winds, - continual large amounts of debris including needles and twigs - shallow roots which fail to hold trees down in high winds - extensive trimming and pruning maintenance to keep under control 3. Maintenance Cost - DOT originally was just going trim trees and remove only a few. However, the price of the proposed trimming exceeded $22,000. Present DOT budget for trees is only $9,000. Overall, its cheaper to remove than trim. Approximate removal price - $300 per tree. Approximate trimming price - $450 and up per tree. Beyond the maintenance cost is the liability that the Town would assume if the Town took control of the right -of -way and trees. This is impossible to figure but one claim alone from a fallen branch or an accident otherwise involving a tree could bankrupt the Town. 4. Decay Process - While trees may appear healthy at a distance, closer examination shows advanced stages of decay in many. Pines die from inside out. Heartwood begins dying and trees become hollow. Holes then open up in bark exposing inside of trees. Inside decay makes tree even more susceptible to falling over in moderate to high wind. a state road and under DOT control. Even if state law permitted planting pines, DOT would never allow them on their rights -of -way. As a result, we must resolve ourselves to the fact that Australian Pines cannot be replanted. One additional word about the Jupiter Island program. It advocates planting and carefully managing pines. Then, after 40 years, removing the pines and planting new ones since the trees cannot be controlled after this age. If anything, the program proposed by Nat Reed advocates a removal of all of our trees as they are all well over 40 and have not been maintained properly in the past.
