ORDINANCES:  ORDINANCE 2024-08 = FIRST PUBLIC HEARING = AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF OAKLAND, FLORIDA, ADOPTING A FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE GROVE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AS RECORDS IN THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF ORANGE COUNTY, FLORIDA A DOCUMENT NUMBER 20220054637 TO IMPLEMENT DESIGN GUIDELINES AND ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS FOR THE GROVE PROJECT, ON CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY OWNED BY NEW HORIZONS INVESTMENTS, LLC, AS MORE PARTICULARILY DESCRIBED HERE IN; MAKING FINDINGS, AND PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, AND FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Assistant Town Manager/Town Clerk Hui read the ordinance title for the record and provided a presentation on Ordinance 2024-08. Please see attached presentation for additional  information.  As summary of the presentation was as follows:  On January 11, 2022, the Town Commission approved Ordinance 2021-26, which approved the Planned Development (PD) zoning and Development Agreement with a conceptual master plan for The Grove single-family subdivision. The Grove PD is comprised of 44 single-family dwelling units on 19.2 acres on the southside of Oakland Avenue and to the east of Catherine Ross Road. The Grove PD is subject to the Town Land Development Code The owner of The Grove PD property is New Horizon Investments, LLC. New Horizon Investments, LLC applied to the Town to amend the current Development Agreement, approved by the Town Commission in 2022, to approve specific site standards, design guidelines and architectural standards The Grove PD was approved by the Town Commission in 2022 with the requirement that the project be developed consistent with the Traditional Neighborhood Design District and did not provide for any specific approvals for alternative site or home designs to the Town's standard site and home design requirements in Article 3 and Article 4 of the Town's LDC. When New Horizon Investments LLC began to design homes for The Grove it was identified that the Town's design standards in the Town's Land Development Code would not allow for the proposed home designs. The proposed homes  (LDC) standard design district requirements.  for The Grove PD.  2    are generally consistent with the purpose and intent of the Town's LDC design standards but provide more alternatives and options in the design of the proposed homes. In discussions with representatives of New Horizon Investments, LLC it was determined that the best approach to allow for alternative home and site designs within The Grove PD was to amend the current Development Agreement to approve specific home and site designs for The Grove PD. The proposed amended Development Agreement does not change the number of lots or layout of the lots and subdivision as previously Attached to the agenda were the proposed "Design Guidelines The Grove" document submitted by the applicant for approval by the Town. If the document is approved by the Town, then the development within The Grove PD would be subject to the site, design, and architectural standards within the attached document and not the Town's standard design and architectural The following is a general summary of the proposed design guidelines and architectural standards proposed for Town approval. Please refer to the full proposed design and architectural standards attached to this agenda memo - Community Standards provided that address building gross floor area, yard/open space/impervious surface areas, porches, and outbuildings. The Grove Design Review Board must approve all buildings. - This is a similar approach to the Town's process with the Oakland Park PD and as under consideration for approval for Briley Farm (Phase 1A, 1B, and Daniels Cove). - Architectural Standards provided that address the materials, configuration, and general standards for walls, hardscape, porches and columns, roofs, and wndows0orsshutters, Deviations, consistent with the design character of The Grove with approval by The Grove Design Review Board. - This is a similar approach to the Town's process with the Oakland Park PD and as under consideration for approval for Briley Farm (Phase 1A, 1B, and Daniels Cove). There are four (4) lot types. Each lot type has a description of the type of design approved for each lot. The specific site and design standards for each lot type are provided in the "Lot Types" section of the attached document.

The owner Franco Scala was available to answer any questions.  Town Commission discussion was as follows:  Commissioner Ramos asked how the homes on lots 1-4 will enter their driveways? Franco Scala said that Lot 1 will enter on Catherine Ross Road, Lots 2 and 3 will enter one Oakland Avenue and the corner one will enter off of the new Franco Scala said that it will be off Catherine Ross Road on Tract A, in that vicinity. There will be two columns at each entrance off of Oakland Avenue. Vice Mayor Satterfield said that he thinks Franco did a very good job incorporating Mayor Taylor said he remembers reading something in there about making sure the design guidelines fit and that the HOA or the ARBi in The Grove community will dictate to make sure what they are building is what they are building. He asked if this process gets forwarded to the town in any way SO that they can make sure that they just didn't sneak a Spanish Revival house in there or how does that work? Franco said that there are SO many different ways to design like Florida Vernacular could be 20 different styles and the other design is the same. They have an ARB set up, the design goes through them and then Brad looks at it Mayor Taylor asked Franco when their ARB looks ati it and they say it is Florida Vernacular, when they submit their permits is there something in there that  road.  Commissioner Ramos asked where the large monument sign will be located.  the feedback from Briley Farm into the plan.  as well.  says this is the style and the HOA has approved the look?  4    Franco said yes, it goes through them as a style and once they give their blessing, Brad will look ati it to make sure it meets all of the requirements. Mayor Taylor said that is good, he is just trying to make sure that everything Commissioner Ramos said that he likes the fact that Franco put the "What not to include" in their design book on the rails and the garage doors and other things. Mayor Taylor opened the floor for public comment. Public comment was as follows:  gets caught.  Carlos Esquivel, 1408 Planted Pine Street - When will the first residents move in, late  this year or not until next year?  Franco said it will be next year.

She also mentioned that the Town Commission received two e-mails from Town Attorney Becky Vose and the first one was saying that there is a hold on the Form 6 and the second one was saying that in lieu of that, you need to submit your Form 1 this year and that all has to be done online through the EFDMS portal which submits directly to the state. Chief Esan said that they met with the owners of 365 Labs, and it looks like they are getting Community Outreach Director Lovejoy said that the Farmer's Market is this Thursday, weather permitting. The time has changed to 9 to 1 for the summer months to ironically avoid the rain.

COMMISSION REPORTS:  Commissioner Ramos said he wanted to give a quick shout out to Mayor Taylor for the Q&A he had last week. Commissioner Ramos said he attended the Q&A, and he thought it was very informative and the residents had a great opportunity to ask really good questions and Mayor Taylor handled it very well. Commissioner Ramos asked Town Attorney Velo if they are allowed to go to these types of events? Town Attorney Velo said that they could attend as long as iti is not a two-way dialogue meaning that one commissioner can be present and remain silent and another commissioner can be doing all of the talking. Commissioner Ramos said while he was there, they asked some very good questions like about the charter and he was able to chime in and they asked about the dark sky initiatives and Commissioner Polland would have been able to answer very well. He said it would be helpful to have some of them attend to answer some of the questions. Mayor Taylor said the goal was to get everybody here and let them ask those questions. Vice Mayor Satterfield said that he had asked Assistant Town Manager Hui about that earlier, but he wanted to defer to Mayor Taylor before he attended because he knows it is the Mayor's meeting. He said that for future meetings if Mayor Taylor wanted them to bei there individually or collectively, he could just reach out and Vice Mayor Satterfield will come to any meeting Mayor Taylor wants him at. Mayor Taylor said it is just set up as an informal get together, it is not a planned event, itisvery relaxed and very informal SO there is really no need to answer and if there are any questions, we are taking notes, and we will get with everyone and talk about the questions that came up. Mayor Taylor said that the hope is that those questions that people have, and they go to that type of meeting then you tell them they should come to a commission meeting because that is where those questions that are directed to the commission should  be asked at.  6    Commissioner Polland said that the Oakland Nature Preserve is having NatureFest on September 21st from 10-2 and they are looking for sponsors SO if anyone knows any Commissioner McMullen said last week he attended two events which were pretty good. One was a prayer breakfast that he was invited to through an email from Bruce Antone, who's a state rep but doesn't cover this area. Representative Antone sent out a mass email, sO Commissioner McMullen is not sure if anyone else got it, but it was a mass email to elected officials. The event was to bring elected officials together and there were about 15 20 people there, as far as elected officials plus other community leaders. The event was really to let the elected officials know that they're being covered by prayer. There's a lot that's going on, and it really is important to come together and see how, between clergy and elected officials, and the community at large, to see how we all can support each other. A couple of key points that the Keynote Speaker Pastor Barnes was focusing on were social justice, affordable housing, education, mental health awareness, and financial literacy. Commissioner McMullen said they are trying to get us all tov work together. The group was elected officials of all levels, school board members, clerks, and Mayor Demings was there. He said Mayor Demings made a point which was amazing to him. Commissioner McMullen said he knows with Dr. Phillips that we are the number one tourist destination in the country, and we get about 74 million people that come through this area. The second place is New York at 24 million. Commissioner McMullen said he was surprised that it was that big of a gap of how Orange County compared to the City of New York. Those were some of the things they were discussing as far as tourism and economic development and just how all the cities and towns can work together to make this area a better place and they plan on doing it again. Commissioner McMullen said that he brought up State Rep Antone is that he is the one who really invited a lot of people and is the one who is in the last couple of years really quarterbacked our legislative state budget request. He knows Amesty is fairly new, and she's really being told what to do but Bruce Antone, along with Geraldine Thompson, are the ones who really sponsored our budget request. Commissioner McMullen said he knows that our current budget request hasn't been approved because Governor DeSantis hasn't signed the budget yet, but he has to sign it by June 30 because the budget has to go to effect by July 1st SO hopefully our $650,000 request Commissioner McMullen said that the next thing he went to took place this past Friday. He serves on the Florida League of Cities Board of Directors, and they have like five meetings a year. During the meeting they were talking about financials and talking about the organization as a whole, but one thing that really stood out to him, but any newly elected official should get a welcome packet. Commissioner McMullen said that about a third of the local elected officials throughout the state are brand new every year, SO they have a lot of new programs that focus on new local elected officials that help them understand the connection between the FLC and the local leagues and the local municipalities and things of that nature. Commissioner McMullen said it was a good meeting and there's a lot going on. He said he knows we plug into the FLC for our pension program. There's 49 League of Cities and FLC is the top League of Cities around the county. Financially, they are doing well and  businesses or potential sponsors, they would reallyappreciate the help.  will make it into the budget.  7    by them doing SO well financially, the services that they offer are very competitive and it helps because they really don't charge the cities and the counties and the different organizations that they serve, whether it's investment, whether it's pension, whether it's low-cost loans, and also just the advocacy to help us understand how we can really do better as cities and towns. Commissioner McMullen wanted to make sure Mayor Taylor knows that they are reaching out to the newly elected. FLC is really trying to educate the newly elected as they come in, especially because there is a lot of turnover. Assistant Town Manager Hui said that FLC will send out a lot of emails with webinar information and other useful information. It's great because you can collaborate with other cities and towns. Commissioner McMullen said he forgot to mention, going back to the breakfast, while he was in the breakfast and announced who he was, he had two people come up to him. The first was the Chief of Police of Eatonville and he said, "Hey, Ireally love Chief Easton. They really take care of us." He gave props to Chief Esan about how they collaborate. One of the PublicV Works Director said he sat down with Public Works Director Parker, and he gave them some good ideas. He used to work there, of course, but he gave them some good ideas. Commissioner McMullen said he felt a little special there because he had two people come up to him and tell him about the impact we had on them. Commissioner McMullen said he felt blessed to be there at that meeting and we had two people from Oakland really feeding into other towns of similar size. Commissioner Ramos asked about the prayer breakfast, what was there idea for us to do because we used to have the prayer walk annually when we had the Coalition of Churches in Oakland. He said it was a collaboration. Commissioner McMullen said he knows they have had a couple of residents come up to speak and say that we need to lower the temperature and work together because there is a lot going on nationwide, it is not just here, it is all over the country. Commissioner McMullen said at the breakfast they were. just saying to try to bring that collaboration back because the cities and the towns can't do it by ourselves. He said we need the citizens and everybody else to be part of us progressing. Commissioner Ramos said that before with the Coalition of Churches, they did the prayer walk once a year, they also did the trash day, and they were going all over the town with trash bags. He said they would pick up trash and pray and go in twos all over the town that one day and they had a lot of people there. Commissioner McMullen said during Easter, one church would host and whatever church would host, a different pastor would preach which was pretty cool. He said it isi really about keeping us all together working  towards one common goal.  Vice Mayor Satterfield - Nothing additional.  Mayor Taylor said he had an opportunity last Friday to attend the Orange County State of the County with Mayor Demings, and it was pretty positive what the county is experiencing. As Commissioner McMullen mentioned, tourism being the number one driver, and tourism being the leading employer in Orange County and in the area. Mayor Taylor said that one thing that really piqued his interest that Mayor Demings talked about was the tech industry that's starting to come into Orange County and coming into the area on the Space Coast. Mayor Taylor said he has been talking to Town Manager Stewart about how do we try to capitalize on that and try to bring some of that industry here to the town and that could  8    really benefit the town. He said if you think about it, we are in an area that's central, it is quick to jump on the turnpike and head to the airport in 20-25 minutes and it's an easy drive to get to the space coast, and NASA if you need to in a little more than an hour to get there. Mayor Taylor said it is just little things like that that he has asked Town Manager Stewart to look into and see how we can start maybe putting the welcome mat out to those industries that are out there. There's a lot of small little guys that build a component that goes somewhere. He said it was pretty cool to hear Mayor Demings talk about that; Orange County seems to be doing great which is good and the Mayor Taylor said that Commissioner Ramos mentioned a great turnout at the Meet the Mayor last Wednesday. During that gathering, he did mention that there was another Meet the Mayor coming up on July 3rd, but Community Outreach Director Lovejoy said that was not going to happen, SO we are going to cancel that one and we'll push it to the first Wednesday of August. At the last Meet Your Mayor, he encouraged everyone that was there to try to make these meetings, keep engaged, and keep informed on what's going on. Mayor Taylor said that the next thing that they talked about was dirt roads. He said he knows that we tried different materials that we placed on Vick and Edgegrove and he will say that he drove on them, and it cut down the dust, but it didn't eliminate the dust. It's not as bad as that lime rock. Mayor Taylor said he knows that we're going to look at some other different materials to try to use in different locations; it could be 57 stone, it could be sand, maybe sand on top of it or something like that on there. He said the reason he is bringing it up is the question was brought up at the Meet Your Mayor and by a couple of residents and we want the residents to know that we know about the issue, we're aware of the issue, and we're doing everything we can to try to mitigate thati issue to cut down on that problem. Vice Mayor Satterfield said he has been thinking a lot about it because he has been driving on the roads too and years ago, he led a committee to figure out what to do with roads. He said we have got a whole different dynamic now and he is wondering if it would behoove them to put some sort of a committee together that might go door to door or get some sort of survey to determine what the majority of the town actually wants. It might even be that they don't want the dirt roads. Mayor Taylor said he did an informal poll at Meet Your Mayor and a lot of hands went up saying they don't care for the dirt roads; they want them paved. Vice Mayor Satterfield said thati is what he is wondering, are we beating our heads for maybe Mayor Taylor mentioned the Chief has Walk and Talk with the Chief on June 26th. Chief Esan said he is setting up the Walk and Talk with the Chief to increase community engagement and to be able to answer questions instead of letting people wonder. Chief Esan said he is going to pick a different street every other month and he is just going to spend an hour and a half at night after people get home from work and just walk the street and people are welcome to come out and talk and ask any questions that they want that are police related that he could answer. He said if they ask questions that aren't police related then he can hopefully direct them to the right resource, but it is more to get people engaged and hopefully some of the officers will join and it will be a way for the community to know who  whole area is doing great.  nothing. There was additional discussion regarding the roads.  their officers are and have any questions answered.  9    Vice Mayor Satterfield said that he did attend Miss Jane Voss' funeral service. Miss Voss passed away three weeks ago, and they had a very nice service, and it was very well attended. She was one of the last surviving from way back when and he lives on her street Commissioner McMullen said he wanted to go back to the topic of Economic Development or bringing business industries here. He asked if we have a liaison that. is going to replace Kathy at the West Orange Chamber because the West Orange Chamber, that is what they do, they can help promote who we are. Commissioner McMullen said we always had a liaison on the board of the West Orange Chamber. Mayor Taylor said he was looking at that and feels it would be something he would be interested in. There was additional discussion about the benefit of the West Orange Chamber and connections created through that partnership.  Briley.

ONP has developed a series of educational programs that use the 150-acre Preserve as a hands-on classroom to encourage an appreciation of natural systems, teach about the challenges of restoring an altered ecosystem, promote awareness of environmental issues, and to foster Since 1999, the property has undergone significant improvements. In 2010, the Education Center, debt-free, was constructed, modeled after a pioneer log home with a classroom, and museum, and office. The property now offers seven hiking trails, including a 2/3-mile wheelchair- accessible boardwalk to a pavilion and dock on Lake Apopka. The introduction of native plants to restore the property has proven successful, demonstrated by the increase int the diversity of wildlife, including an ever-growing population of threatened gopher tortoises. Last year more than 30,000 people visited the Preserve.
