C. 19-3113 AUTHORIZATION TO CONTINUE UTILIZING A CITY OF PLANTATION
CONTRACT WITH ALLIED UNIVERSAL CORPORATION FOR THE
Village of Wellington Page 1
Village Council Workshop Action Summary September 23, 2019
PURCHASE AND DELIVERY OF SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE
Mr. Schofield introduced the agenda item. This was authorization to
continue utilizing a City of Plantation contract as a basis for pricing with
Allied Universal Corporation for the purchase and delivery of sodium
hypochlorite for $410,000.
Ms. Shannon LaRocque, Utilities Director, explained that this was the
contract used for chlorine for disinfectant at both the Water Plant and the
Wastewater Plant. She said the budget this year was approximately
$396,000; however, this item is requesting $410,000, which is what is
budgeted for next year. She said that the use of chlorine is very variable
noting that it depends a lot on demand, i.e., more during dry months and
less during wet months. Ms. LaRocque said that based on where they
are today; they currently have used about $296,000. She said that this is
a projection and is never exact. She felt that the increase in budget was
based on anticipated increase in demand as well as some scheduling
related to construction at the Water and Wastewater Plants.
D. 19-3207 RESOLUTION NO. R2019-64 (CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK
(CMAR) FOR TOWN CENTER BOARDWALK) AND AUTHORIZATION
TO AWARD A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK (CMAR)
CONTRACT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE TOWN CENTER
BOARDWALK
A RESOLUTION OF WELLINGTON, FLORIDA’S COUNCIL AMENDING
THE SALES SURTAX FUND CAPITAL BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR
2018-2019 BY ALLOCATING FUND BALANCE FOR THE TOWN
CENTER BOARDWALK; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mr. Schofield introduced the agenda item. This was a two-part agenda
item: (1) Approval of Resolution No. R2019-64 to allocate Surtax Fund
balance; and (2) Authorization to award a CMAR contract to Burkhardt
Construction, Inc. for the construction of the Town Center Boardwalk for a
Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) of $2,498,260.77.
Mr. Barnes explained that this is the CM at Risk contract pointing out that
several months ago Council approved the Construction Manager at Risk
for this project. He noted that at that point, they were approved for
pre-construction services. He said that they were with the engineering
consultant reviewing the plans as they were being developed. Mr.
Barnes said that staff believes they were able to get a better final design
that will be the best constructability process that they could come up with
based on the limitations of the site and the area they were working with
as well as current cost trends as they are actually dealing with these
sub-contractors on a regular basis.
Village of Wellington Page 2
Village Council Workshop Action Summary September 23, 2019
Mr. Barnes said that the overall cost includes the boardwalk as shown in
the design plans given to Council as well as some components they
always looked at as variable in terms of timing. He said that those were
included at this time since the contractor indicated that they could
accommodate some of those improvements at the same time without it
impacting any land side work that was going to happen as a result of any
proposals that for the master plan. He indicated that the project is $ 2.5
million, which includes about $150,000 in contingency. He explained how
the process works stating that, based on the level of plans and detailed
plans that you have, there is a percentage that is allocated to
contingency. He said that contingency belongs to the owner, and not for
the contractor to use it. He further stated that it is a contingency in the
event there is an unforeseen condition or should the Village decide to
add additional scope of work there. He said that the contingency is really
a safety factor for the Village to change or add anything in the process .
Mr. Barnes said that the additional larger item that they have added on
was based on the availability of the surtax funds so they have
accommodated approximately $300,000 in the floating dock including
accessibility platform for the boaters that utilize Lake Wellington. Mr.
Barnes said that was a key component throughout the public input
process to accommodate. He explained that the layout of the docks
accommodates proposed for both the future as well as existing as far as
this project. Mr. Barnes said that on the side closer to the Montauk side
of the waterfront is the actual floating docks for the boaters along Lake
Wellington. He said that they have accommodated existing space in a
different configuration for the rowers and Rowing Club, which is
accommodated more central to the overall boardwalk and sea wall. He
said that there is a future location for a future dock to accommodate other
water-related uses which would not generally be co-mingled with the
rowers or floating docks.
Mayor Gerwig said that the idea of the floating docks is that they are at
the level of the pontoon boats so that when they come in they are at that
level. Mr. Barnes said that was correct. He said that it includes
accessibility and that it is ADA compliant as far as access to the actual
boardwalk.
Mr. Barnes explained that regardless whether you say one, two or three,
there is one dock that is comprised of multiple pieces. He said that it is
a dock for the shells for the Rowing Club. He said that similarly there are
multiple components to the dock for the boaters.
Councilman McGovern asked if it was right that there are two smaller
dock access points currently that will go to one larger one in C 4 and C11.
Mr. Michael O'Dell, Assistant Director, Planning & Zoning, said that what
Village of Wellington Page 3
Village Council Workshop Action Summary September 23, 2019
they were looking at was the existing location of the two docks that are
currently there. He said that they were going to bring that down to one
location.
Mayor Gerwig asked how many boats the floating dock at the north end
of the boardwalk would accommodate at one time. Mr. O'Dell said that it
would accommodate 13 boats. Mayor Gerwig asked if they have sized
that based on usage. Mr. O'Dell said that they could expand the dock but
thought that in this phase that was the type of use that they were seeing .
He said that there are about 75 pontoon boats on Lake Wellington today.
He said that in speaking with the boating community, they felt this was a
good start to see if they were actually utilizing it. Mr. O'Dell said that they
could expand it as the boating community expands and they see a
greater demand for it.
Mayor Gerwig said that when the rowers were not' using the double
length dock could the pontoon boats tie up to it. Mr. Barnes said that they
would not recommend that although at this point people are tying up to
anything that is out there.
Councilman McGovern said that it is $2.34 million with a $150,000
contingency. Mr. Barnes said that was correct. He explained that the
combined number has approximately $300,000 as an allowance for the
floating docks that could come in less. He said that it will not be more
than that, but could be less.
Councilman McGovern referred to Exhibit A on page 146, which was the
budget amendment. He asked how much money was being moved. Ms.
Quickel said that they currently budgeted roughly $805,000 that they are
carrying forward. She said that the 2020 budget includes $1,195,000 for
this. She said that since this was being approved in September, the
budget amendment for this allocates funds in the 2020 budget noting the
project will not start until after October 1st.
Vice Mayor Napoleone asked what percentage of the total amount was
surtax dollars. Ms. Quickel said it was 100%
Councilman Drahos asked about the barrier between the boardwalk and
the water. Mr. O'Dell explained that there is a wall that will take you from
the water surface vertically to the boardwalk. He directed Council to the
wall section of the design explaining that there is an aluminum railing that
will be attached to some columns. The wall will come up from the water
to the boardwalk level and there will be a railing and then a column
section. This will extend along the entire length of the boardwalk.
Village of Wellington Page 4
Village Council Workshop Action Summary September 23, 2019
Councilman McGovern asked if there would be a barrier as you come out
of the Community Center. Mr. O'Dell responded that it would not noting
that the design would have to be at the same level. Mr. O'Dell said that
from an operational standpoint, they could put some temporary
barricades there.
Councilman Drahos asked what the timeframe for the project was. In
response, Mr. O'Dell said they were looking to start construction in
October and complete the project in April.
E. 19-3295 SECOND PUBLIC HEARING TO ADOPT THE FY 2019/2020 MILLAGE

millage rate in accordance with the Wellington Charter and F.S. Chapter

RECREATION TO RESIDENTIAL F (8.01 DU/AC TO 12.0 DU/AC);
PROVIDING A CONFLICTS CLAUSE; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY
CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mr. Schofield introduced the agenda items. He said that the next three
items all pertained to the same thing: (1) Approval of Ordinance No.
2019-05, a Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment to modify building
height limitations; (2) Approval of Ordinance No. 2019-06, a Zoning Text
Amendment to modify Section 6.5.8.C of Wellington’s Land
Development Regulations to increase the allowable building height for
multifamily residential properties; and (3) Approval of Ordinance No.
2019-07, a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to amend the Future Land
Use Map designation of The Player’s Club Residences from Commercial
Recreation to Residential F (8.01- 12.0 DU/AC).
Ms. Kelly Ferraiolo, Senior Planner, presented the agenda item. Ms.
Ferraiolo said that these are requests by the Players Club to construct a
50 unit multi-family condominium on the property. She said that the
property is located at the south side of Greenview Shores Blvd and South
Village of Wellington Page 6
Village Council Workshop Action Summary September 23, 2019
Shore Blvd.
Ms. Ferraiolo said that the first request was a Comprehensive Plan
Amendment to change the Future Land Use Map designation from
Commercial Recreation to Residential F, which will allow 8 to 12 units
per acre. She said that the applicant was also requesting a
Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment to modify Policy 1.3.8 of the Land
Use Element, which pertains to building height. She said that the
applicant was requesting to allow a 72 height for the multi-family land use
designation; however, staff recommended a maximum height to be
increased to only 56 feet. Ms. Ferraiolo said that the applicant was
aware of the proposed changes and were in agreement with the 56 feet.
She said that the amendment also includes some language cleanup
throughout the policy. Ms. Ferraiolo said that the last application was a
zoning text amendment to modify section 6.5.8.C of the Land
Development Regulations to provide for a maximum height Village-wide.
She said that similar to the Comprehensive Plan that requested 72 feet;
staff was proposing 56 feet, which the petitioner agreed to. Ms. Ferraiolo
said that in order to get 56 feet, it would have to meet mandatory
requirements which includes additional setback, be within a PUD; have a
multi- family future land use designation; must be at least two acres in
size; not be located adjacent to single family residential properties; must
be within 500 linear feet of a collector road and approved by Council.
She provided an updated map showing the eligible parcels. Ms.
Ferraiolo said that the text amendment also includes an additional 15%
in height on top of the 56 feet if the property meets building coverage
limitations; if the area that is used to exceed the height limitation is for
mechanical equipment and common space for non-habitable uses; and
that area has to also meet additional setback; incorporate a minimum of
three voluntary design criteria for the site, i.e., parking structure , on-site
amenities; unique architectural designs, etc.
Mayor Gerwig questioned whether that was somewhat subjective if they
were going to say what is unique. Vice Mayor Napoleone agreed that the
last requirement sounded very subjective. Mayor Gerwig asked if
someone else came in and asked for the same thing, could they say they
did not like that architectural feature, etc. She asked staff to explain what
type of flexibility Council had in the future. In response, Mr. Basehart said
that whenever they talk about uniqueness and design there is room for
different opinions. He said that the bottom line was that he believed
everyone had a very good handle on what mundane is and what plain and
simple is versus enhanced. He said that it would be an issue that Council
would consider along with the other criteria. Mr. Basehart said that there
would also be an opportunity in that process with the language the way it
is for Council to discuss and encourage people to make changes to
Village of Wellington Page 7
Village Council Workshop Action Summary September 23, 2019
certain design elements. He said that they could not simply define
innovative design. He said that they still felt it was worth including that
because it encourages discussion and coordination and cooperation
with the applicants. He said that in most cases, it would result in a better
product.
Vice Mayor Napoleone said he had some questions about the different
options, particularly LEED-based design or Florida Green Building
Design preparation. He thought that was included in the Florida Building
Code. Mayor Gerwig thought that related to public and not private
buildings. Mr. Basehart said that there are certain LEED requirements
for all buildings other than single family homes. Mayor Gerwig thought it
was then an added requirement. Mr. Basehart believed that Vice Mayor
Napoleone was going to suggest that the language be expanded to
specifically say over and above what is specifically required in the
Building Code. Vice Mayor Napoleone said that he wanted them to be
able to check off their three options and make it above what the Building
Code requires. Mr. Basehart said that they would make that change. Mr.
Barnes added that the Building Code requirement for the green buildings
mandates only for public buildings. He said that in addition to standard
basic requirements, but mandates for LEED is for public buildings only.
Ms. Ferraiolo said that the 15% would require Council approval. She
said that the Planning, Zoning & Adjustment Board heard the item on
August 14th and recommended approval of all the items as
recommended by staff.
Mr. Basehart said that Council will ultimately the PUD Master Plan
Amendment. He explained that this package would change the land use
designation and future land use map from Commercial Recreation to
Multi-Family Residential F. He said that in addition, they would need to
modify the PUD master plan, which still listed this site as a polo and
tennis facility. He said that the number of units would be 50 if that was
what Council choose to allow which will also be noted on the master plan .
Mr. Basehart said that the other element to the master plan amendment
would be the driveways. He said that the main driveway was not currently
shown on the master plan. He explained that the ordinance required that
accesses from pods to the PUD from collector and arterial streets be
shown on the master plan and approved by the Village Council. Mayor
Gerwig thought they had a utility access. Mr. Basehart said that there are
two access points: one was approved as a utility access and the second
the main entrance to what was originally the club house was approved by
Palm Beach County prior to Wellington's incorporation, but the County
did not require the arrow to be put on the map.
Village of Wellington Page 8
Village Council Workshop Action Summary September 23, 2019
Mayor Gerwig said that the original master plan was approved in 1972,
and asked when the last time it was amended. Mr. Basehart said that
Council approved amendments over the past several years and there
were probably 60-70 amendments done to it. He said that the master
plan application would come back to Council when these ordinances
come back for second reading.
Councilman Drahos asked staff to explain the graphics, which were
marked in red with purple within the red. In response, Ms. Ferraiolo said
that Wellington Place, French Quarter and places along Wellington Trace
and Forest Hill are in orange which the computer picked up as larger
than two acres. Mr. Basehart said that it was a computer glitch.
Councilman Drahos asked what the purple notation on Polo West meant .
Mayor Gerwig said that was not Polo West but was property behind the
Waterstone apartments, which are already developed. She said that
was what confused her because they were showing pieces that are
already developed, i.e., Arissa Place. Mayor Gerwig said that the
computer was picking up incorrect items.
Mr. Basehart explained that the map simply depicted what properties
would be eligible for consideration under the changes. Vice Mayor
Napoleone said that someone would have to buy up all the units, tear
them all down, and then redevelop them. Mr. Basehart said that some of
the projects would not happen, i.e., St. Andrews. He said that all of the
parcels would be redevelopment issues if someone wanted to come in
and acquire multiple properties to reach the two acre minimum
requirement and then come in and make a request.
Councilman Drahos asked why weren’t the open parcels like Polo West
and Polo North included. Mr. Basehart said that they were not included
because they are adjacent to single family homes. With regard to the
golf courses, Ms. Ferraiolo said they were included because they are
Commercial Recreation and the map only picked up multi-family parcels.
Mr. Basehart said that this only picked up properties that are zoned
multi-family.
Mayor Gerwig said that their concern was that someone could come in
with Commercial Recreation and then get Multi-Family. She asked if
there was another map as they were only finding properties that were
currently zoned multi-family. She asked which properties could get
multi-family if they were rezoned. Councilman McGovern felt that was an
important map. Mr. Basehart felt that was important when people came
in to make a change. He said that they could produce such a map
probably between transmittal and when these come back for second
Village of Wellington Page 9
Village Council Workshop Action Summary September 23, 2019
reading. He said that it would take substantial work, but they could get it
done. He did not believe it would include that many properties. He said
that the commercial parcel across the street from the subject site would
be included. He said that they would find potentially some properties
along Forest Hill Blvd, but there would not be much other than that
because of the other requirements. He said when you consider the
requirement that they not be adjacent to single family homes and must be
on a collector or arterial road, there would not be much opportunity.
Councilman Drahos said he did not see it that way noting that Forest Hill
Blvd and South Shore Blvd were collector roads. Ms. Ferraiolo said that
it would be the first 500 feet of the property. Councilman Drahos said he
was concerned about Polo North and Polo West. Mayor Gerwig said that
they backed up to single family homes. Councilman Drahos asked if they
back up to single family, they would be automatically disqualified
because he noted that some of the properties being shown did back up
to single-family homes. He said that he wanted to be clear what his
options are. Mr. Basehart said that there would have to be something
between the single family and the property seeking additional height. He
said if you look at Polo West and the stretch of land that they have just to
the southwest of the entrance to the community, some of that area if it
were changed to multi-family residential with some substantial buffering
to protect the single-family homes to the west and north, that could
potentially be eligible for consideration. He said that nothing in the
ordinance provides a right for someone to take advantage of the
additional height because it still has to get approval from the Village
Council and meet the criteria. Mr. Basehart said that staff could prepare
a map that shows what parcels may be eligible for additional height if
their comprehensive plan designation was changed from what it is to
multi-family residential.
Ms. Drahos asked if any of the properties abut single family that were
being proposed. Mr. Basehart said that alot of them do. Mr. Schofield
asked if any of the areas that they have colored on this map directly abut
single-family lots. Mr. Basehart said that no properties colored on this
map abutted single-family homes. Vice Mayor Napoleone said that they
then abut multi-family homes. Mr. Basehart said yes or other uses.
Mayor Gerwig asked if staff thought this was a planning tool that they
could use in the future to get some redevelopment in the areas they have
concerns over. Mr. Basehart felt that it would absolutely be useful. He
said that redevelopment is a very difficult thing to accomplish. He said
that Wellington's future will not include a lot of new major developments,
but would primarily be redevelopment. He said that there are areas in
the Village either because of their age or other reasons are not up to
Village of Wellington Page 10
Village Council Workshop Action Summary September 23, 2019
Wellington's standards and may continue to decline which are the areas
where they would encourage reinvestment and have someone redevelop
properties.
Councilman McGovern said that this project is reinvestment and
redevelopment where they are taking away something and replacing it
with something very difficult that PZAB recommended would be a good
use of space for the community. Mr. Basehart responded affirmatively.
Councilman McGovern asked if this was an initial building block to
possible future reinvestment and redevelopment in some of these places
that they know in the future will need to be modernized. Mr. Basehart
responded affirmatively.
Mayor Gerwig thought there was a bit of a hiccup in Wellington Place
where the back row is excluded because it backs up to single -family
homes. She said in looking at the 20-30 year plan, if someone were to
come along and buy the property and redevelop it, they would have that
etched in the background. Councilman McGovern thought it would have
to be separated by some type of buffering. Mr. Basehart said it would be
part of the redevelopment program for the property. He said that what
you would need to do is to have a development that did not require an
increase above the normal height requirement in that area. Councilman
McGovern said that there could be a mix of heights there. Mayor Gerwig
said that the project before them has that type of layered design. Mr.
Basehart said that they would tier it. Councilman McGovern said that
those parcels over 35 feet would have to go closer to the front. Mr.
Basehart said that was correct.
Councilman McGovern asked if all of the applications required two
readings. Mr. Basehart responded affirmatively.
With regard to the schedule, Mr. Basehart said that these applications
were up for first reading, if Council voted favorably to transmit, they will be
sent to the State's Department of Economic Opportunity who have 30
days to review the application and make comments. He said that their
comments are limited to issues that would be of state-wide implications
and he did not think they would find that in this case. He expected that
from 30-45 days from tomorrow, the Village would receive a letter from
the State saying that they reviewed the application and there were no
state-wide implications so they had no comment. He said that they would
then have the second reading and will add the master plan application at
that time and they will have the final hearing.
Mr. Schofield said that the two Comprehensive Plan Amendments would
be transmitted to the Department of Economic Opportunity who have 30
Village of Wellington Page 11
Village Council Workshop Action Summary September 23, 2019
days to come in, it will come back and be scheduled for hearing He said
that when Council has the second hearing on the Comprehensive Plan
Amendment, they then have a mandatory 30 day hearing period of
appeals so they can't take any action on the zoning that happens and the
rezoning and master plan will come at that point.
Mayor Gerwig said that they were not approving the site plan at this point .
Ms. Ferraiolo said that would be approved administratively. Mayor
Gerwig said that there may be some variation but they would still have to
meet the requirements. Ms. Ferraiolo pointed out that this was the
conceptual site plan. Mr. Basehart said that if there were substantial
changes being proposed, they would bring it to Council.

Mr. Schofield said that he has had a Medicare card for exactly six weeks,
and today he received a scam call. He said the caller said there was
fraud associated with his Medicare card and they wanted the number. He
said that he called them on their scheme. Mr. Schofield advised the
residents that no one would ever ask for their Medicare number. He
advised them if they received such a call to contact the Village who would
help.
Mayor Gerwig noted that before they came into the meeting someone
tried to use her Outlook on Facebook. She said that it is getting tough to
stop this.
Mr. Schofield said that the Village would be going to two-factor
authentication for almost everything. He said that you would only have to
enroll each device one time. He said that he has IT looking at the
electronics that they are providing. Mr. Schofield said that some of them
are old and they cannot get the latest security measures on them. He
said that where they need to, they would be upgrading them. He said that
they get tens of thousands of hits a day and it is the only way he knows
how to protect the system.
