Approval of this Amendment will provide Housing Partnership, Inc. with the option of either constructing or purchasing (8) affordable housing units for eligible first-time homebuyers and allow Housing Partnership, Inc. to use the CHDO set-aside funds as down-payment assistance for eligible homebuyers.  Due to the downturn in the housing market and the increase of existing housing inventory on the market, it may be more cost effective for Housing Partnership, Inc. to purchase existing single family houses at a cost below what it would cost to construct similar housing units. The agreement provides Federal HOME funds whose local matching requirements are achieved through State Housing Initiative Program funds.  Countywide  (TKF)

 

 

7.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment No. 001 to Agreement (R2007-1332) with Northwest Riviera Beach Redevelopment Corporation amending the contract’s effective date to run July 1, 2007, through February 28, 2009.  SUMMARY: On August 21, 2007, the BCC approved Agreement (R2007-1332) with Northwest Riviera Beach Community Redevelopment Corporation in the amount of $420,000 for the development of affordable housing and operating expenses as a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO). Approval of this Amendment will establish a new effective date, as well as, extend the agreement for an additional six (6) months.  This extension is necessary because of delays with the organization’s State Housing Initiative Program supported “Brooks Subdivision Project.”  This Amendment will also permit Northwest Riviera Beach Redevelopment Corporation to be reimbursed for all eligible cost associated with these CHDO activities in accordance with the original agreement.  The agreement provides Federal HOME funds whose local matching requirements are addressed through State Housing Initiative Program funds.  District 7  (TKF)

1.         Staff recommends motion to receive and file: one (1) Agreement for Emergency Generator Purchase, Operation and Maintenance with Village Walk of Wellington HOA.  SUMMARY: On March 14, 2006, the Board of County Commissioners delegated the authority to execute Emergency Generator Purchase, Operation and Maintenance Agreements (Agreements) to the County Administrator or his designee.  The County Administrator has delegated this approval to the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department Director.  These Agreements provide property owners with the ability to donate funds to purchase emergency generators for lift stations located within their community. The Department will assign the community its generator(s), locate the generator(s) on-site during hurricane season, and operate and maintain the generator(s) during emergencies.  By executing such Agreements, the Department is able to expedite its goal of providing a higher level of emergency response service throughout its service area. Power outages that occur during hurricanes and other emergencies require the Department to operate a system of emergency generators at wastewater pump stations to prevent wastewater from backing up into streets, swales, and residents’ homes.  Due to the great number of lift stations and limited staffing resources, the Department is not able to place an emergency generator at every lift station.  These Agreements will increase the number of generators available to the Department during emergencies.  District 6  (MJ)

 

 

                        2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: a Potable Water and Wastewater Development Agreement (Agreement) with Palomino Ventures, Inc.  SUMMARY:  Palomino Ventures, Inc. (Palomino) owns property located on the northeast corner of State Road 7 and Palomino Drive.  In order to provide potable water and wastewater concurrency reservations for new developments, the Department requires property owners to enter into a formal development agreement with the Department.  While the Department Director has been delegated the authority to enter into Standard Development Agreements (SDAs), Board approval is being sought in this case due to the type of facility being constructed by Property Owner and the fees associated with the classification of the facility.  The Department has determined the service shall be provided based on a revised multi-family residential connection classification of 0.40 ERCs per unit.  This classification does not currently exist in the Department’s Uniform Policies and Procedures Manual (UPAP), but will be added during the next revision to the UPAP.  The special conditions in this Agreement reference this special classification.

3.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  a Second Amendment to Standard Potable Water and Wastewater Development Agreement (R2005-0625) (Agreement) with The Diocese of Newton for the Melkites in the United States of America, Inc., providing for an additional cash reimbursement of $66,000 for County required off-site utility improvements associated with the Saint Nicholas Melkite Mission project.  SUMMARY: On February 10, 2005, the Department entered into a Standard Potable Water and Wastewater Development Agreement (Agreement) with the Diocese of Newton for the Melkites in the United States of America, Inc. (Melkite Mission) for the reservation of potable water and wastewater capacities. The First Amendment to the Agreement was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on February 5, 2008, providing for cash reimbursement to Melkite Mission for the oversizing of certain off-site utility improvements related to a future potable water emergency interconnect with City of Delray Beach.  While the construction of the utilities by Melkite Mission was delayed, the County proceeded with the final design and partial construction of the emergency interconnect and other facilities.  Melkite Mission was required to revise the engineering design to match County plans.  Melkite Mission now agrees to construct certain off-site utilities in Lake Ida Road to minimize the impact on the road traffic during construction and to save overall construction costs.  Specifically, Melkite Mission will install one (1) water main connection and two (2) force main connections in Lake Ida Road which are either not required to serve their development or are being oversized per County request. Melkite Mission has provided an estimated cost of $84,973 for the additional/oversized facilities.  Staff has reviewed Melkite Mission’s cost estimates and recommends Melkite Mission be reimbursed $66,000 in cash for the design and installation of the additional/oversized facilities.  Melkite Mission is releasing the County from any future claims related to the design and construction of the additional/oversized facilities.   District 5  (MJ)

 

                        4.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  a Reclaimed Water Service Agreement – Lake Discharge Irrigation System (Agreement) with Gleneagles Country Club, Inc.  SUMMARY:  The recent expansion of the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department’s (Department) reclaimed water system provides the opportunity for existing developments to install infrastructure to convey reclaimed water into a development’s lakes for subsequent irrigation through the development’s irrigation system.  The Board of County Commissioners adopted Standard Reclaimed Water Service Agreements (Standard Agreement) on November 20, 2007, and permitted execution of such Standard Agreements at the Department level.  However, due to the complexity of ownership and multiple parties having responsibility for the property covered by this Agreement, modifications to the Standard Agreement are necessary, and BCC approval is therefore required.  District 5 (MJ)

                                    Haverhill Acres, LLC             (District 2)      01-01163-000

                                               

SUMMARY:  The terms and conditions for Standard Development Agreements are outlined in the Water Utilities Department’s Uniform Policies and Procedures Manual.  The Board of County Commissioners delegated the authority to execute various types of Standard Development Agreements to the Department Director including potable water and wastewater agreements (R93-1619); reclaimed water agreements (R96-0228); and additional conditions for potable water, wastewater, and reclaimed water agreements (R2003-0539). After these agreements are executed by the developer and the Department, they must be recorded by the County Clerk’s Office.

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  the Environmental Resources Management’s (ERM) recommendation to demolish the residential structure at the County’s Jackson Riverfront Pines Natural Area at a cost not-to-exceed $30,000.  Summary:  On February 8, 2007, the County finalized the purchase of the Jackson Riverfront Pines Natural Area for $3,600,000.  This approximately three (3) acre property, on the north fork of the Loxahatchee River, consists of three (3) parcels with a single family residence on one (1) of the parcels.  On October 17, 2006, the Board directed staff to investigate the feasibility of utilizing the existing house as a nature center.  Subsequent discussions with contractors indicate that the cost to bring the building up to code and American with Disabilities (ADA) requirements would be approximately $119,950.  This price does not include any interior renovations for space reconfiguration other than those required by ADA.  Demolition cost estimates for the structure, including asbestos abatement, are under $30,000.  Because of the high cost to bring the structure up to code and the lack of designated positions, volunteers, or another agency to staff a nature center, ERM recommends demolition of the house and garage, and filling in of the swimming pool on the property.  Demolition of the existing structure would not preclude the County from constructing an environmental education/nature center in the future.  District 1  (JMB)

These projects can be defunded at this time because they either are no longer in need of funding, in the monitoring phase, awaiting next phase, or delayed due to coordination with other agencies.  Funding will increase Singer Island for $2,500,000, South Palm Beach for $300,000, Jupiter Carlin Shore Protection for $550,000, and South Lake Worth Inlet Management (SLWI) for $50,000.  Districts 1, 4 & 7  (SF)

37                    5E-1                ADD-ON, REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY:  Staff recommends motion to deny:  an appeal to the Roadside Vendor Ordinance (Ordinance 97-40) a request for a waiver by Catherine Hietapelto, a roadside vendor from complying with the square foot maximum vending area as required in the Roadside Vendor Ordinance (Ordinance 97-40).  SUMMARY:  Catherine Hietapelto has obtained and has a current valid a Roadside Vendor Permit to sell prepared food within the County right-of-way.  However, staff believes that Ms. Hietapelto’s (Alice’s Restaurant) trailer and truck (Alice’s Restaurant) significantly exceeds the 300 square foot maximum vendor area stipulated in Section 9 (P) of the Roadside Vendor Ordinance.   If she were to use these, she would be cited and ultimately her permit would be revoked.  The Ordinance does allow an appeal of a revocation.  Ms. Hietapelto has requested an appeal a waiver of Palm Beach County’s decision regarding the maximum allowable area.  Typically staff never requests or sees the proposed vehicle or vehicle layout when issuing a permit.  That also occurred here - not withstanding what Ms. Hietapelto represents in her attached appeal.  In the 20+ years the roadside vendor program has been in existence, no waiver of the area size has ever been requested, much less approved.  District 6  (MRE) (Engineering)
