Town Attorney Lenihan sworn in all witness regarding the Culver's Restaurant and asked
Council to state for the record if any of them have had an ex-parte communication regarding
item number 4. Town Council responded that they had not had any ex-parte communication
regarding this item.
Tyler Parker, Engineer for record for the proposed Culver's Restaurant that will be located in
the Grove Town Center between C and D Road. She then gave a brief history of Culver's
Restaurant. She presented a PowerPoint presentation to Town Council.
Councilmember Maniglia stated that she wasn't aware of this being a drive thru. She also asked
what type of food would be sold (is it all frozen) are they fresh and she believes that they are
missing out on a huge demographics by not selling breakfast. Ms. Parker responded by stating
that all the food is fresh, and custards. Councilmember Maniglia also explained why she asked
the question of did this restaurant serve alcohol because she is concerned that with added
commercial on Southern Blvd. that the cost for the Palm Beach Sheriff department will
increase for the Town. She also asked Ms. Parker does she feel her client would contribute or
provide their own security. Ms. Parker stated that Culver's will have camaras and security.
Councilmember Maniglia also asked what were their hours of business 9 Town Clerk Burch
responded 10:00 p.m.
Councilmember Herzog asked is the service like Sonic and is there seat down.
Vice Mayor Danowski asked if their drive thru or pull over/waiting space able to accommodate
trailers (landscape trailers and vehicles (pool trailers). Ms. Parker responded that they are not
designed for that, they are the standard parking lot according to the Town's code, but she
believes that they could park in two parking spaces for their trailer. Vice Mayor Danowski
Town of Loxahatchee Groves July 6, 202 I
Town Council Regular Meeting Minutes PageNo.3
responded that she just wanted them not to have a jam with people who are driving those
trailers because of the demographic and the people who work in this area. Ms. Parker
responded her concerns are noted.
Councilmember Maniglia asked when the plan is to break ground. Ms. Parker responded that
they are currently working on finalizing the master infrastructure to support this phase (all
users in POD B). But as soon as they get those permits in place.
Mayor Shorr asked about the bridge across Collecting Canal. Ms. Parker stated that the design
of the bridge is in review as of right now. Mr. Fleischmann stated that an extension was given
on the construction of the bridge. Ms. Parker responded.
Councilmember Herzog asked what the construction material is being used for this bridge. Ms.
Parker responded that it is a prefabricated bridge made out of a concrete deck (which was
coordinated with the staff at the Village of Wellington) with a roughen surface to provide
traction for the horses, the bridge will contact just west of C Road.
Councilmember Miles asked was the WAWA still continuing to come through. Ms. Parker
responded, yes, it is in building permitting.
Mr. Fleischmann, Planning Consultant for the Town, responded that there is a Culver's in
Jupiter, and it is different from the normal fast-food restaurants because they serve complete
full dinners. He also stated that the reason that Culver's is not open for breakfast is due to it
being a condition of the traffic study, that they are not open during morning rush hours (peak
hours). Mayor Shorr asked traffic study for what, just that POD? Mr. Fleischmann responded
that the original traffic study was done for Groves Town Center PUD which include all the
approved uses and it has a maximum daily trip generation uses for a.m. and p.m. peak hours
and some of the trip generation is getting relatively close to the original approved amount, and
one of the conditions of approval was that it does not open before 9:00 o •clock.
Councilmember Maniglia asked the Town Attorney could this be changed as the new Council?
Mr. Fleischmann stated that the overall trip generation for Groves Town Center (90 acres) was
approved by Palm Beach County under their TPS Ordinance. If a phase come in where those
approve trips are going to be exceeded, then a new traffic study has to be done, costs and
improvements generated by those excess trips will have to be paid by the developer. There is
a maximum number of trips right now that the developer is trying not to exceed, and Palm
Beach County will not allow with a new traffic study being done.
Councilmember Maniglia stated that she doesn't understand how they can mandate hours of a
restaurant in our Town. Mr. Fleischmann responded because that is the authority that they have
under the County wide traffic performance standards ordinance and that original traffic study
was not done that long ago and took in consideration the expansion of Southern Blvd. Town
Attorney Lenihan, stated that the answer is no at this point. She stated that there is a traffic
study, and the developer has chosen to stay within the bounds of the traffic study that they are
required to stay until they want to do extra work, they have to manage those trips, and to
manage those trips they have limited the business to certain hours. That is how they have
decided to manage it, and if Culver's has accepted as a tenn of their condition to come in, that
is between them and the developer.
Vice Mayor Danowski asked that if the vacant spot between the dental office and Culver's tum
into a breakfast facility, would it be up to the developer to decide if they want or not want it
because of the overage of potential trips. Town Attorney Lenihan responded, yes. Vice Mayor
Town ofLoxahatchee Groves July 6, 2021
Town Council Regular Meeting J\Iinutes Page No.4
Danowski asked that the decision lies solely up to the developer. Town Attorney Lenihan
responded, yes. Town Manager Titcomb responded that they have allocated those trips across
multiple pods and properties so he believes they could renegotiate who get what allocation
based on use. Councilmember Herzog asked is there a projection that any place within this
development be of higher-class facility because as of right now there is no place to hold a
function. Mr. Fleischmann responded that the balance of the properties that front on Southern
Blvd. could be used in the future for another restaurant site, there are other places where
restaurants can go.
Councilmember Miles asked are any of the other Culver's restaurants service breakfast. Ms.
Parker responded, no. There was further discussion between the Town Council and Ms. Parker.
Mr. Fleischman gave an update on the proposed Culver's Restaurant Site Plan. Mr.
Fleischmann informed the Town Council that staff finds the proposed Culver's Restaurant Site
Plan consistent with the Town's Comprehensive Plan and land development regulations.
Councilmember Maniglia asked that there are two waivers for the ULDC, what is the glare.
Mr. Fleischmann responded that those are standard waivers that was granted in the original
PUD ordinance that just is included as a matter of fact. Council member Maniglia asked was
these waivers done for the entire POD, Mr. Fleischmann responded the waiver was done for
the entire Grove Town Center (90) acres. Vice Mayor Danowski stated that it states request
the waiver, doesn't mean that it is automatically given. Mr. Fleischmann responded, yes, that
is actually correct. Councilmember Maniglia asked are we trying to incorporate some
contribution to security, are they willing to contribute due to the cost of the Sheriff may go up.
Mr. Fleischmann responded that issue hasn't been addressed with Grove Town Center. Mr.
Fleischmann stated that is something that could be discussed.
There was public comment made by Todd Mclendon.

Town Attorney Lenihan reviewed and updated the Town Council on the changes of the
ordinance. Councilmember Maniglia stated what she was getting calls about regarding this
ordinance was that the Sheriff can't just step on your property without, why should the Town,
she thinks that was the problem because health and safety was not added to this, now it
coincides with nuisance abatement ordinance. Mayor Shorr asked if its health and safety, we
are not the health and safety police or are we, do we fall under Palm Beach County Health
Department. Town Attorney Lenihan responded that it is not a Health Department, health, and
safety issue it is the public health and safety welfare which is one of the police powers oflocal
government, so you do have that authority that's part of your code enforcement and nuisance
abatement procedures and codes that is why you do those things because it's in the public
health safety and welfare. Mayor Shorr stated that this goes through the code enforcement
process. Town Attorney Lenihan responded. Vice Mayor Danowski asked could this be taken
back to the beginning and asked a question who decides who has too much trash. Town
Attorney Lenihan responded. There was continued conversation between Town Council and
Town Attorney Lenihan.
Councilmember Maniglia asked is Coastal willing to educate on this matter. Town Attorney
Lenihan responded, yes.
Councilmember Miles stated that this will give the Town teeth.
There were public comments made by Katie Lakeman, Robert Miller, and Cassie Suchy.
Mayor Shorr stated that in this type of situation people run askew with something that is not
true, it is a process to communicating with the property owner. Try to get people to try to clean
up themselves. Thanked the people who bought it up. Definitely clean up the language.
Councilmember Herzog asked about page 268 section referring to the Town Manager, doesn't

REGULAR AGENDA

the same rate as for FY 2021, the current year.
Town Manager Titcomb presented the item to Town Council. He stated that these are
resolutions, at the moment we are going through a ministerial exercise to confirm solid waste
collection rates. The proposed rate of $450 per unit is set at the same rate as the same rate as
in FY 2020-2021. He explained once these are set, it is the maximum, only can reduce.
Councilmember Maniglia stated that she would like to consider that we need to pay close
attention to our recycling in the next year. Not sure it is all getting collected and it is something
we supposed to be getting a credit and maybe we should be doing on our own, where people
bring their own. Mayor Shorr stated he feels we should emphasize the two-compartment truck.
It just makes sense.

Dependent District to order at 8: 16 p.m.
Town Manager Titcomb presented the item.
There was public comment made by Todd Mclendon.
Councilmember Maniglia asked are these the properties at the corner of Southern Blvd. and
Crestwood, she asked the Town Attorney can they be assessed. Town Attorney Lenihan
responded let her look into this.
District Chair Danowski asked if the 200.00 dollars assessment fee could be explained what
the assessment is for. Town Attorney Lenihan responded by stating that it is stated in the
resolution then went to name them but all for roadway and drainage improvements and
maintenance. District Chair Danowski asked should this 200.00 an acre assessment be assigned
uniformly across our town or should there be another assessment be assigned to properties that
have zero access to town roads. Town Attorney Lenihan responded it is up to the Board to
decide how they want to access, but this is being carried forward as an approved method of
assessment. District Chair Danowski stated that there is precedent in the state of Florida where
a uniform assessment was applied universally and properties that do not have access to town
roads a case was bought forward and was found in their favor that their assessment was being
assigned improperly. Town Attorney Lenihan responded that this assessment is more than
about roads and we would have to look at all properties, and we would look into it. There was
further discussion among District Chair Danowski and Town Attorney Lenihan.
Board of Supervisor Member Herzog stated that she thought it was a rule or regulation that
you could not have a land lock piece of property so how are they assessing property that you
have no ingress/egress. Town Attorney Lenihan responded that you cannot have a land lock
piece of property, but you can have property that does not have direct access to a road it could
be accessing a road through an easement, but they would have to have physical ingress/egress
from their property but not necessary to a road. Town Manager Titcomb also responded to
Board of Supervisor Member Herzog concern. There was discussion among the Board of
Supervisors.
Motion was made by Board of Supervisor Member Shorr seconded by Board of
Supervisor Member Maniglia to approval Resolution No. 2021-DD03 establishing the
district's preliminary Road & Drainage non-ad valorem assessment rate for the fiscal
year beginning October 1, 2021, proposed at$ 200/unit; it was voted as follows: Ayes:

Town Attorney Lenihan stated that as an alternate that Town Council can take these for
informational purposes and can have these further discussions as is to time and priorities as we
bring forward the budget and road prioritization or can wait until we get hard quotes from vendors
that Mr. Peters ran out of time getting for this meeting. There are a lot of different things that can
be done with this.
Councilmember Maniglia stated that she suggests for Town Council discussion that they are still
roads on the plate getting done and perhaps this can be done on the FY 22/23 year. Mayor Shorr
commented that it was told to Asst. Town Manager Ramaglia to look into different options for
assessing based on per acreage, per residential unit, traffic. Then he continued to give an example.
Looking forward to developing a program that works. Councilmember Miles stated that it depends
on how many people live on the road they may decide to just get together and pave the road.
There was a request to Town Attorney Lenihan to bring back a resolution to Town Council
with more details.
Mayor Shorr asked Town Attorney Lenihan would this resolution be done within the next two
weeks, Town Attorney Lenihan responded, no and gave an explanation.
Captain Turner presented an update to the Town Council regarding the Palm Beach County Sheriff
Office (PBCSO). There was discussion among the Town Council and Captain Turner and Town
Manager.

Civility: Being "civil" is not a restraint on the First Amendment right to speak out, but it is more than just being polite. Civility is
stating your opinions and beliefs, without degrading someone else in the process. Civility requires a person to respect other people's
opinions and beliefs even if he or she strongly disagrees. It is finding a common ground for dialogue with others. It is being patient,
graceful, and having a strong character. That is why we say "Character Counts" in Town of Loxahatchee. Civility is practiced at
all Town meetings.
Special Needs: In accordance with the provisions of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), persons in need of a special
accommodation to participate in this proceeding shall within three business days prior to any proceeding, contact the Town Clerk’s
Office, 155 F Road, Loxahatchee Groves, Florida, (561) 793-2418.
Quasi-Judicial Hearings: Some of the matters on the Agenda may be "quasi-judicial" in nature. Town Council Members are
required to disclose all ex-parte communications regarding these items and are subject to voir dire (a preliminary examination of a
witness or a juror by a judge or council) by any affected party regarding those communications. All witnesses testifying will be
"sworn" prior to their testimony. However, the public is permitted to comment, without being sworn. Unsworn comment will be
given its appropriate weight by the Town Council.
Appeal of Decision: If a person decides to appeal any decision made by the Town Council with respect to any matter considered
at this meeting, he or she will need a record of the proceeding, and for that purpose, may need to ensure that a verbatim record of
the proceeding is made, which record includes any testimony and evidence upon which the appeal will be based.
Consent Calendar: Those matters included under the Consent Calendar are typically self-explanatory, non-controversial, and are
not expected to require review or discussion. All items will be enacted by a single motion. If discussion on an item is desired, any
Town Council Member, without a motion, may "pull" or remove the item to be considered separately. If any item is quasi-judicial,
it may be removed from the Consent Calendar to be heard separately, by a Town Council Member, or by any member of the public
desiring it to be heard, without a motion.
