It's a beautiful day today, so we'll try to get you out early. For those of you who are here for the first time, welcome. We appreciate your attendance today. And to let you know how we begin our meetings, we start out with the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a moment of silence. We have certain announcements.

Yeah, they couldn't make it tonight. Yeah.

Thank you. So, our... Our first of three presentations tonight, we invite Commissioner Herbst to present a proclamation regarding Chen Moore and Associates here in the city of Fort Lauderdale. And I would invite Chen Moore, who's the CEO of the organization, and President Jose Acosta, as well as Tim Hogans and Darren Bedore to please join the commissioner at the podium.

So it's my pleasure to read this in recognition of the folks from Chenmore. Proclamation in recognition of Chenmore & Associates' 40th anniversary, whereas since its founding in November 1986, Chenmore & Associates, headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, has provided engineering, planning, environmental science, landscape architecture, site development, and project delivery services throughout Florida, demonstrating a commitment to technical excellence, environmental stewardship, and sustainable and resilient communities. And whereas Chenmore has grown to include 13 offices throughout Florida, as well as offices in Atlanta, Knoxville, and Raleigh, delivering hundreds of projects across the state and serving as an extension of municipal engineering staff for communities including Coral Springs, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, and Wilton Manors. And whereas Chenmore has earned numerous industry honors, including recognition as one of the South Florida Business Journal's Best Places to Work in 2026, You know, I'm available in a couple of weeks. That's why we're a hot firm and best firms to work for, and one of Engineering News Record's top 500 design firms in 2025 and 2026. And whereas founder Dr. Ben Chen has dedicated more than 40 years of leadership, mentorship, and philanthropy in the community, including services with CareerSource Broward, which is where I got to serve with him, St. Thomas University, and the Broward League of Cities Scholarship Committee, as well as support for educational opportunities for the Chinese American World Scholarship Fund. And whereas Peter Moore, who has served with Chen Moore since 1999, became chairman and chief executive officer in May 2026, continuing his longstanding contributions to the community and engineering profession. And whereas Jose Acosta, who has served with Chen Moore since 2010, was recently promoted to president, congratulations, recognizing his leadership and contributions to the firm, community, and engineering profession. And whereas in celebration of the 40th anniversary, Chen Moore partnered with ASCE Florida Section and Florida Engineering Foundation, Inc. to establish the Chen Moore Scholarship Fund, an annual scholarship program supporting engineering students and reflecting the firm's commitment to giving back and investing in the next generation of engineers. Now, therefore, we as city commissioners of the city of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, do hereby proclaim October 2nd, 2026 as Chen Moore Day. In the city of Fort Lauderdale, dated the second day of October 2026, our Mayor, Dean Jay Trantalis. Congratulations.

I promise I'll be brief.

Big piece of paper.

It is, but I wrote it in big prints. I'm getting old. The city of Fort Lauderdale is very important to the identity of Chen Moore. When Dr. Ben Chen first quit his job to start the company, Chen and Associates Consulting Engineers, Inc. used a paycheck from Susan Chen, who was running the laboratory for the water plant for the city of Fort Lauderdale that kept the Chen family fiscally viable. Personally, I was born at Holy Cross Hospital. I own a home in Coral Ridge. My wife is a graduate of Cardinal Gibbons High School, and we are raising our daughter right here in the city. We're even playing on Ben Sorensen's...

Soccer team, even though we're not that great right now.

We're going to be better.

We're getting better every day.

For our firm, we've been working for the city for over 35 years, and we've built projects as far and ranging as the project that found the original Fort Lauderdale. While we were building Fort Lauderdale Beach Park, I was actually an engineer on that job, where we designed the last of the classic wave wall. We designed many fire stations, parks, and roadways. And we've also designed many emergency water and sewer projects that needed our best talent. Today, we are one of the 500 largest companies in North America. We are the largest company that is headquartered here in Fort Lauderdale that does what we do. And I want to thank you all for your support. I want to let you know the best is here to come. Thank you.

Now I'd like to invite Commissioner Stephen Glassman, who will present a proclamation recognizing familiar hypercholesterolemia awareness day here in the city of Fort Lauderdale. And I'd like to invite Karen Warfel, who's the ambassador for the Family Heart Association, to join the commissioner at the podium.

Thank you, Mayor. I am presenting a proclamation now from the Office of the Mayor, City of Fort Lauderdale, in recognition of Familial Hypercholesterolemia Awareness Day. Pretty good? Good job. That's a tough one. Say it ten times fast. I have to say it again now, actually. Whereas, familiar hypercholesterolemia, also known as FH, is an inherited genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to regulate and remove LDL, commonly known as bad cholesterol, from the blood. This can lead to a very high cholesterol level and an increased risk of coronary artery disease at a younger age. And whereas FH affects approximately one in 311 people, yet many individuals are unaware they have the condition. FH is estimated to account for approximately 5% of heart attacks in people under age 60 and as many as 20% of heart attacks in people under age 45, highlighting the importance of greater awareness. And whereas family health history plays an important role in identifying FH and those who may be at risk, Cholesterol screening can detect elevated LDL levels, while genetic counseling and testing may also help confirm a diagnosis and identify family members who may also be affected. And whereas healthy eating and regular physical activity are important for people with FH, but lifestyle changes alone are often not enough to bring cholesterol to healthy levels. With appropriate treatment, LDL cholesterol can be managed and the risk of cardiovascular disease can be reduced. And whereas greater awareness of FH can help individuals recognize their risk, seek appropriate screening, and take steps toward early treatment, by increasing understanding of FH and its hereditary nature, families can be better equipped to protect their heart health and the health of future generations. And now therefore we, as city commissioners of the City of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to hereby proclaim september 24 2026 as familial hypercholesterolemia awareness day in the city of fort lauderdale dated this 15th day of september 2026 and signed by our mayor the honorable mayor dean jay trentalis and i would like to ask karen and this has affected karen's family very much i'd like to have her say a few words thanks karen

Thank you, Commissioner. Most of you know me as a transportation person, but in my free time, this is one of the things I work on. I'm here today with my husband, Robert, who has FH. We are proud to be ambassadors for the Family Heart Foundation, which really strives, as the Commissioner said, to educate and advocate and help people. As anybody who has a rare disorder knows, it's a struggle every day for your health to find care, and once you find care, get that covered. So for so many years, my husband and I struggled and fought that fight alone. We were so excited to find Family Heart Foundation, which was started by a woman who had a heart attack in her 30s, didn't know what was going on, looked for help, and there was nothing there. So she's created this amazing foundation. They have a website. If you're interested to learn more, Familyheart.org has an array of resources on it, care, education, and most recently they have an initiative called Cholesterol Connect. So you can find your own numbers. Knowledge is power. Knowing where you're at and if you might have something that can start your journey to where you need to go. So again, familyheart.org, Cholesterol Connect, they'll give you a free cholesterol test for your LDL and LP little a, which is a little known thing, but it's a really strong impact on your heart health. So again, thank you so much for the mayor, the commissioner for acknowledging FHJ and helping us raise awareness.

Thank you, Commissioner. Now I'd like to invite Commissioner Pamela Beasley-Pittman to present a proclamation regarding Civility Pledge Day here in the city of Fort Lauderdale.

Good afternoon, everyone. Good evening. Good evening. How y'all doing? Y'all should know me by now. You know, I'd be like, hey, say hi back. I have the honor this afternoon to present this proclamation. Earlier in the year, I attended the National League of Cities annual conference, and this was one of the initiatives that the National League of Cities suggested that we as cities throughout the nation take a pledge in regards to civility, being able to, in unity, work together. So we are here today to declare that this is the day, and we're going to ask all of our neighbors as well to be a part of this pledge because I am one who believes in peace and harmony, and I believe this is something that we can do in our city, okay? From the Office of the Mayor, City of Fort Lauderdale proclamation in recognition of Civility Pledge Day 2026, requested by Commissioner Pam Beasley-Pittman. Whereas the city is the level of government residents interact with most closely in daily lives, making it essential that civic engagement and public service reflect the highest standard of civility, dignity, and respect. Whereas local elected officials engage directly with residents, businesses, and community organizations to listen to concerns, discuss important issues, and work collaboratively towards solutions that strengthens their communities. And whereas the National League of Cities through its We Are Cities program Bridge Our Divides initiative has called upon cities, towns, and villages across the nation to promote respect, civic discourse, and foster communities where all people are treated with dignity and respect. Whereas Fort Lauderdale is a diverse community where residents bring different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives to the important conversations that shape the future of our city. And whereas the city of Fort Lauderdale is committed to ensuring that residents, businesses, city staff, and all who participate in public meetings and civic life has the opportunity to express their views in an atmosphere of courtesy, fairness, and mutual respect. And whereas the city recognizes responsibility to model constructive disagreements, active listening, and respectful conversation to foster a civil culture in which different perspectives can be heard without diminishing the dignity of others. And whereas the city encourages elected and appointed officials, employees, residents, businesses, and community organizations to embrace a civility pledge by speaking respectfully, listening actively, disagreeing without personal attack, respecting the public process, and seeking common ground whenever possible. Now, therefore, we ask the City Commission of the City of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, do hereby proclaim September 15, 2026 as Civility Pledge Day in the City of Fort Lauderdale and hereby affirm our commitment to leading with civility, dignity, and respect. Dated the 15th day of September 2026, signed by Mayor Dean Trantellis. So do we all get to come down and hold this and take a picture together? This is part of our pledge. So please join me here to take the picture.

Okay, thank you, Commissioner. Now at this time, we will begin to take up our agenda items. And at the beginning of each agenda, we have what are called consent items. And at this time, The Commission will be asked to vote on the consent agenda items collectively. And unless there's a consent item that any one of the members of the Commission wishes to pull, it will vote and discuss it separately. If your item that you have signed up to speak has not been pulled, I will invite you to speak on that item before we vote on it. So at this time, I would ask Commissioner Herbst, do you have any items you wish to pull? None. Commissioner Beasley-Pittman? None. Commissioner Glassman? None. And Vice Mayor?

None.

Okay, so we have people who've signed up to speak on CR1, CR2, and CM10. So except for CR1, CR2, and CM10, do I hear a motion to approve the consent agenda items?

Moved.

Second. Please call the roll.

Commissioner Herbst? Yes. Commissioner Glassman? Yes. Commissioner Beasley-Pittman? Yes. Vice Mayor Sorensen? Yes. Mayor Trentals?

Yes. And CR1, this is a resolution approving termination of the assignment of the comprehensive agreement between Fort Lauderdale Studio Initiative, LLC, and Infinite Reality, Inc., excuse me, for the movie studio complex project. We have April Young who signed up to speak. And April, you've signed up to speak on CR1 and CR2, so... I guess they're pretty much the same issue. So is April here? April Young? Did she step out? OK. All right. And the other folks are just for questions only, right? So in CR2, Mr. Nelson.

evening commissioners and congratulations to the police department on their new building this is absolutely beautiful and very proud to look at this building especially compared to the last one so very good job to the engineers and everybody so when i saw this i am very much in favor of this studio that we want to build and hoping very much that it does move forward because Fort Lauderdale is the best place to shoot movies, TV, TV commercials, but I was watching this show with my wife called RJ Decker. Maybe you've heard of it. Yeah, and I thought I'd wear a shirt kind of like that. He copied my style, actually.

Are you another Don Johnson?

Oh yeah, remember that? That was a phase. Maybe I'll resurrect that one day. I saw this, and in the first episode, you see elbow room, you see a car chase on Las Olas Boulevard, and I'm like, all right, this is great. Then I start to see other places that I don't really recognize, and I'm like, where is that place? And then I see a pier that I'm like, that pier is not in Fort Lauderdale. In this show, R.J. Decker is based in Fort Lauderdale. I go and I look it up. Where is it being shot? North Carolina. Now, why on earth would you want to not shoot a show in Fort Lauderdale that's based in Fort Lauderdale and shoot it up in North Carolina instead? Well, that is because, unfortunately, our state eliminated its film and television tax incentive program in 2016. Let it sunset. So other states like Georgia and North Carolina have now attracted TV shows and movies And now Florida fell from the third largest filming destination in the United States in 2015 to outside the top 20. This is a travesty. And I just hope that when you're doing your lobbying to Tallahassee this year, that we really make an effort to push for this. We need to have shows filming in Fort Lauderdale, especially now when we've got good budget surpluses and we've got a lot of good, uh, fiscal responsibility in our state. There's no reason why we can't do these tax credits. Thanks. Okay, thank you.

Excuse me, Mayor. I'd like to just respond to this.

Okay.

Because I think it's important for our city to know some of the things I'm going to read to you, and I apologize for the language, and I apologize to you for some of the words that I'm going to read, but the man who just spoke to the Commission and to the community loves to come to the podium and be charming and make you think that he's just fine, and he'll opine on many things, and I want you to hear some of his recent posts over the last couple of months so you know this is, what is that expression, a wolf in sheep's clothing? Yes. So here we go. Okay. These are all in the last few months. This is from Mr. Nelson, who you just heard from trying to be charming and talk about a television show. Okay. First post. This is Memorial Day weekend. Again, these are his words from his posts. Fort Lauderdale PD is locked and loaded, locked and loaded in case the blacks start rioting or doing one of their idiotic team takeovers to try to ruin Memorial Day weekend. Not going to fly in Fort Lauderdale. Next one. You all know who James Fishback is. He ran in the Republican primary for governor, known for his anti-Semitic sentiments and remarks. This is another one of Mr. Nelson's posts to the city of Fort Lauderdale on the internet. Congrats to James Fishback for finding his wife. Yes, it happened quick, but remember, having casual sex with every girlfriend and living together for years before marriage is a concept sold to us by Jewish sitcom writers. This is the Christian way.

Next. All right, wait, wait. This is not really...

I'm sorry. I'm going to finish reading two more, Mayor, because it's important that people need to know when someone in our community tries to charm us, and yet this is what he posts on the internet, on social media. So I'm going to get through this. You'll just have to forgive me for this, okay? Okay, next one. All these crusty white people coming out and backing Debbie Wasserman Schultz are not white. They are just rich Jews like Debbie. These are nice, aren't they? Well, I am incensed over these, okay? And I am sharing my anger with you because I don't want anyone to be fooled by this man. And last but not least, and I apologize for some of this stuff coming up, Vice Mayor, this was a tweet by... A Sun Sentinel reporter, Susanna Bryan, she writes, lots of chatter at Fort Lauderdale City Hall about chief of staff for Vice Mayor Sorenson getting caught eavesdropping outside the door of Scott Wyman, chief of staff for Dean Trentalis. And Mr. Nelson opines, of course, and he writes, LOL, I can only imagine the disgusting gay shit he heard Scott talking about. That's enough. These go on and on for months. He's laughing. He's happy. But I want you to know that this is a racist, anti-Semitic man who has said nothing, nothing but hate on social media. I'm done. Thank you.

If I can say something, I was so excited tonight to give the proclamation that I just read. Change starts with us. I'm just going to say that. Change starts with us. Every day, everyone has an opportunity to be a better version of themselves. I'm not the person who wants to hear what someone said yesterday. Because the grace that I live under, I receive grace daily. and to be a commission that's working for everybody regardless of color, creed, smell, look, funk, whatever, choice of whatever they like to do. I stand in a position where I give them the space to be who they are, whether I like what they say, whether what they say hurt my feelings or my pride. So I'm asking if we could take this pledge for real and to heart, and let's move forward because this is not what I signed up for. And I've said that like every quarter since I've been here. And I was hoping that this wedge will begin to start us in a new direction. Let's lead by example. Let's lead by example.

I agree with you. And civility is a two-way street.

It is, but we have to give people opportunity to accept it. We just read it. And you're reading something that was days ago. So that's my request. I understand. Okay. Thank you. Let us move on. Let us move on.

All right. So would someone like to introduce CR1?

Introduce.

Introduce. Please call the roll.

A resolution, City Commission of the City of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, approving the termination of the assignment of the comprehensive agreement between the City of Fort Lauderdale Studio Initiative, LLC, and Infinite Realty, Inc. for the Movie Studio Complex Project, delegating authority to the City Manager to execute such agreement together with any supplemental documents in connection therewith and providing for an effective date. Commissioner Herbst. Commissioner Glossman? Yes. Commissioner Beasley-Pittman? Yes. Vice Mayor Sorensen? Yes. Mayor Trentals?

Yes. And CR1 is now approved. Moving on to CR2, a resolution approving the second amendment to a comprehensive agreement with Fort Lauderdale Studio Initiative, LLC, for the movie studio complex. Would someone like to introduce the resolution? Yes, it is. The resolution has been introduced.

Please call the roll a resolution City Commission of the City of Fort Lauderdale, Florida approving the second group amendment to the comprehensive agreement with the Fort Lauderdale studio initiative L initiative LLC and infinite reality Inc for the movie studio complex delegating authority of the city manner to execute such agreement together with any supplemental documents in connection here with and providing for an effective date and Commissioner Herbst? Yes. Commissioner Glassman? Yes. Commissioner Beasley-Pittman? Yes. Vice Mayor Sorensen? Yes. Mayor Trent Tullis?

Yes. And CR2 is now approved. Moving on to CM10, Mr. Nelson.

All right, so I'm glad that Commissioner Glassman got that off his chest, and he's a very big fan of the edgy things that I've said on Twitter, and I guess not a very big fan of the First Amendment, but... Anyway, so, oh, thank you, Commissioner Beasley-Pittman, for your civility pledge. So, anyway, the... This item is about flock cameras, okay? And if we want to talk about civility, this is something that has brought Democrats and Republicans together, saying that we do not want to have a surveillance state. And I've liked how I've seen all the different communities, all the different people that I do. Even though I might say edgy things sometimes, I might call out some things that I think need to be called out that might offend some people. But at the same time, I think to everybody of all different faiths, whether it's Jewish, the black community, all different communities, that when you've seen me face to face, that I've shown everybody nothing but love and Christian love. So and if I haven't in the past, I'll be sure to to show you more love there moving forward. So but when it comes to this. The Fourth Amendment is very important that we don't we do not want to be tracked and have unreasonable search and seizure. And these flock cameras, these license plate readers that they want to put them in Rio Vista. I understand why they want them in there, because Rio Vista is having a problem with crime. I know they wanted to put in some they wanted to make it gated. But we need to have a. policy on this commission for ai and these flock cameras they are hooked up to ai and we have the ceos of these tech companies coming out and now saying that AI could do some pretty bad things. So I urge you, Mayor Trantalis and the commissioners, to please put the stop on this. We have people that have been stalking their ex-girlfriends, things like that, through the flock cameras. But until we have a good, solid framework in place about how we're going to handle AI and these things, I ask you to please Put the brakes on any flock cameras being put anywhere in Fort Lauderdale. Thank you. Thank you.

YES, I MET WITH ROBERT LOCKERY. OKAY. COMMISSIONER BEASLEY-PITTMAN?

YES, ROBERT LOCKERY, OCTOBER 21, 25.

GOT A GOOD MEMORY. I HAVE THE SAME DISCLOSURE, ROBERT LOCKERY. COMMISSIONER GLASMAN? SITE VISIT AND MET WITH ROBERT LOCKERY. AND VICE MAYOR? YES, ROBERT LOCKERY. OKAY. A couple of people have signed up to speak. Patricia Hayes. Is Patricia here? Yes.

Oh, Patricia. Come on down.

Mr. for questions, correct? It's OK. We're patient. Please give it to the clerk over here. Or the city manager. Good evening.

Good evening. It's a pleasure seeing you, and it's a pleasure to speak. I own two properties.

Can you just hold the mic closer to your, there you go.

Short people. I own two properties abutting Peter Feldman Park. When they built the park, they built a one-way exit road owned by the park. It's private. My properties are residential with my office in front of one, and we access the parking, which is behind the building, from the alley. I have met with the attorney for the proposed development and said that my property will have no public road access if that 15 foot by 150 foot alley is vacated. If I ever want to redo anything on my property, it may not be possible for me to get a building permit because I have no public street access.

So you just exit on an alley?

Yeah.

It's a private alley?

No, it's platted.

So it's a public alley.

It's a public alley, and the right-of-way that the developer is asking the city to vacate is the portion of that public alley from Northeast 5th Street north 150 feet. The purpose of that, I've been told by the developer, is so that they can build their to the parking and amenities for their development. In the meantime, it's private if it's vacated. It will be owned by a private entity. My property is being taken through an inverse eminent domain claim.

So is your property to the south of this parcel?

North.

To the north of the parcel.

Next to me is a convenience store. Mr. Allen owns the convenience store, and he would have been here tonight, but he's been operated on right now in North Carolina.

This is property. Mr. Lockery, where are you? Mr. Lockery, my understanding that this is on the corner of 3rd Avenue and 5th Street? Can you just step aside just for a second? I stopped the clock, so... You still have your time. So this is on the corner of 3rd Avenue and 5th Street?

Mayor, Vice Mayor, Commissioners, Robert Locker on behalf of the applicant, that's correct. This is the block between 5th Street and 6th Street between 3rd Avenue on the west side and 2nd on the east side. Currently, as Ms. Hayes indicates, the city vacated the northern portion of the alley about 10 years ago or 12 years ago, I guess, when the city was developing Peter Feldman Park. The request that we have before you, and it's a little different. I think you met with my colleague at the time. It wasn't with me. At that time that they first met, the idea was to vacate at one point the entire alley to be consistent with what has occurred on the north. The new proposal, and actually we're talking about a different item than the item before you right now. I don't know if that's significant. But I think what Ms. Hayes is referring to is the alley vacation, which is PH5 later on in the agenda. Okay. But to answer your question, that is the location of it, Mayor, and I can explain in more detail as well.

Well, I see it on the location map. Yeah.

And where is her parcel located? And I have a graphics that I could show, but essentially her parcels, I'll let her speak to them, but they're just south of Peter Feldman Park on the east side of 3rd Avenue, the west side of the alley. Now, what's important to realize is one thing that has changed, and frankly, the concerns that Ms. Hayes raised were raised by your staff and by the engineering staff. And one of the items that we went through and resolved and why it's taken so long to get in front of you is we're now granting an easement back across our property underneath the building for the alley. So the alley will remain intact as it is today once the project's constructed. While the project's under construction, there will also be another access point that leads out to the east. So in either situation, the alley to the south will continue to exist, and there will still be legal access with an easement to the city and to the public to her property, as well as a way out on the north. Currently, if you're familiar with Peter Feldman Park, you can take a right and get out the alley In other words, if you're going north on the alley, you can take a right and get out to 2nd Street. What Ms. Hayes is saying is sometimes there's city infrastructure, trucks that may park in that area. But at the end of the day, the alley will operate exactly as it is today.

Ms. Hayes, is your property, does it front on 3rd Avenue? Yes. So you have access to 3rd Avenue.

But I only have a private driveway and the parking for my office and the apartments is from the alley. And if I need to redesign, which you can see in the package, I have a copy of my two duplexes, which are old style. And to redevelop it, I won't get a permit. And the easement is not granting me access perpetually.

And I have not seen... Well, an easement is perpetual.

They were supposed to give me documentation. I was dealing with staff between February, March, April, and October of last year, and I've seen nothing.

All right. And that may be true. You know, we're trying to resolve this. So all of your properties front on 3rd Avenue?

The two of them do, yes.

We're only just talking about two, correct? Two. All right. So when you say that you don't have access to your property... You don't need the alley to have access if you're right on 3rd Avenue.

I do need the alley to redevelop it because all of my parking and access right now is from the alley.

So the driveways into your parcels are from the back of the properties?

I have one driveway, and I have to park there for my office because when Peter Feldman Park was built, instead of traffic being directed to 4th Avenue, it was directed to 3rd Avenue, and the city put do not enter signs on my property, but it hasn't done very well. And the city uses the alley, the road out of Peter Felleman Park for their vehicles, their trucks. And they park behind my northern building. And I haven't complained about it. Don't get me wrong.

Okay. Mr. City Manager, do you have any thoughts on this? Or who's in charge of this?

Well, since I can only talk to the city manager. Yeah. So I'm not intimately familiar with the development, but I mean as far as Access agreements go when they're cross access between multiple parties including private entities in the city Those are usually perpetual access easements So the idea would be that with that document Which I'm assuming hasn't even been drafted much less recorded at this point because the project hasn't been approved That would be something between not only the city. Mr. Lockery's client, but also the other parties including miss Hayes to the to the easement would all be party to that eventually and have to sign off on it for that to be applied. And that would be a condition of the development permit, I'm assuming, as well.

In favor. Was that in his favor at the moment? In favor. Mr. Fajardo, what did you say?

I've spoken to Mr. Fajardo.

How are you doing? Hi, Anthony Verharder, Director, Development Services. So the easement would be in favor of the public. So effectively, nothing would change functionally. It's just another instrument for providing that type of access.

Right. And we're not granting an approval of the site plan unless that perpetual easement is in place for the other property owners, right?

So that is a separate item for the easement. But yes, one is needed for the other. Okay.

Why then do they need the alley to be vacated? If it's an easement, they can have an easement and access their garage and amenities also because easements change.

I don't know the answer to your question, but the concern that you have with regard to your property has now been resolved.

Okay. I'll look forward to the paperwork. Okay.

You will not be trapped. All right. Thank you so much.

Thank you.

You're very welcome. And thank you for coming tonight and bringing this to our attention.

I appreciate it. Thank you.

Okay. Is there anyone else who wishes to speak on this item? There being none, do I hear a motion to close public hearing on R8? Moved. Second. We move to second it. Please call the roll.

Commissioner Herbst? Yes. Commissioner Glassman? Yes. Commissioner Beasley-Pittman? Yes. Vice Mayor Sorensen? Yes. Mayor Trentos?

Yes. And public hearing is now closed.

Mr. Fajardo? Yes, Mayor. Thank you. Anthony Fajardo again. We do need to make a minor correction to condition number eight. There was a direction for a cardinal direction that we got wrong. So I'll just read it into the record just so it's clarified. Currently, it says prior to issues of certificate of occupancy, the applicant shall dedicate and record a public pedestrian sidewalk access easement along the south side, it should say west side, of Northeast 4th Ave and along north side of Northeast 5th Ave to accommodate a portion of the required pedestrian clear path located outside of existing right-of-way.

Okay, great. Thank you for that correction. Thank you. Okay. Would someone like to introduce the resolution for approval as amended?

Introduced.

It's been introduced. Okay. Please call the roll.

Also, limiting the number of permitted events and road closures on the barrier island, and providing for increased penalties. One person to sign up to speak. Ms. Carla Rowntree, step forward. Good evening.

Hi, good evening, everyone. So my name is Carla Roundtree, and Stephen Glassman, District 2, is what I used to represent. But I want to be sure I understand. On OFR, it's the table of the plan, right? Right. for everybody in District 1, 2, and 3, and 4 are all going to be able to be about this table. And then when it comes to Oil Far 2, I'll make sure I clear this down and clean my glasses right. The event application requirement and structure is a signature event Is that something specific? And then we go on. Adopt an event impact fee matrix. The number... I just wondered, what is the specific? Well, this is not a question and answer program. Is that a question and answer?

But I would... Since you're in District 2, Carla, since you say you live in District 2, I invite you to speak to the District 2 commissioner after the meeting, which will be shortly, and you can ask him these questions.

Okay, Dean Chontalis.

Yes, ma'am.

Does it not say District 1, 2, 3, and 4?

Thank you, Carla.

Anyone else wish to speak on this item? There being none. Yes, Commissioner.

Could Carl explain what she's asking?

Well, she can ask the question, but this is not a question and answer format. She can ask the question, and then afterwards she can speak.

It says to really look.

So Carla, we've had a bunch of meetings on this for almost a year now. This is really just about classifying the types of events that we see come, mostly to the Barrier Island, and putting them in categories so that we know how to assess them in terms of impact fees. So we know how to take a break, maybe one weekend on the Barrier Island where we'll have a quiet weekend. We've been discussing events, particularly on the Barrier Island.

One, two, three.

Well, I think it's listed like that because it really does affect anyone that would go to the beach. And it's not just District 2. The Barrier Island, we actually, there are three districts that do. I don't know who decided it. But it does impact anyone that's going to go to an event. So I think that's why it says District 1, 2, 3, and 4. But this is dealing with just all of the events that we see. We're trying to just grab them a little bit, get a little control over how many events, what type of event we're going to classify them in, how we're going to assess their fees. That's what it's really about. No, that's okay. And we can talk about it more. Don't worry.

Does that complete your presentation? Okay. Anyone else wish to speak on this item? There being none, would someone like to introduce the ordinance on first reading? Introduced.
