Bob Foy, Director of Utilities/Engineering, said there
were two existing canals in the Kings Point project known
as the Exeter Plat He said Lennar Homes, Inc ,
requested that the City Quit -Claim Deed the canal
property back to them and vacate two of the easements
Mr Foy said the purpose of this request was because the
location of the existing canals was interfering with the
project He said in exchange, other canals would be
provided in another location in the same project He
said a bond was posted to cover the construction of new
canals and drainage and the developer agreed not to do
anything to disrupt the existing system because there was
drainage into the canals at this time He said the
canals would remain in place until the new canals were
created He recommended approval of this request
Mayor Abramowitz asked what the benefit would be to the
City and Mr Foy said the City would have a better
community
Mayor Abramowitz said he would hold the
Utilities/Engineering Department responsible to make sure
that there would be no interruption of services in the
area
C/M Hoffman asked if there would be a physical change in
appearance He said there were people who purchased
property based on the fact that the property would be
located on canals He asked if the position of the canal
would change thereby, depriving the existing residents
Mr Foy said he did not feel that this change would
affect the residents because the canals were on the south
side of an existing street and the existing community was
on the north side and did not face the canal He said he
did not feel that this change would affect the property
value of the existing homes in the area
C/M Hoffman asked if the property was investigated and
Mr Foy replied, yes, and there were no existing homes on
the canal
C/M Rohr asked if the Utilities/Engineering Department
would be checking to see if the changes were appropriate
and Mr Foy said the project needed engineering approval
before the project was done He said he would assure the
City Council that the new canals would meet the City
Codes and be appropriate for the City
C/M Hoffman asked if it would harm the project if the
City Council Tabled this Item to further investigate the
area and Mr Foy said Le nnar Homes, Inc , had a
representative present that could answer this question
Mayor Abramowitz said he was
that Lennar Homes, Inc , was
projpot and Mr Foy agreed
changes did not hurt anyone
existing services he would

changes were done
C/M Hoffman said he did not receive the information that
Mayor Abramowitz rpcpived and he would like top satisfy
himself on this Item bpforp he voted on it
Page 7
2/28/90-pw
Mayor Abramowitz suggested that the City Council hear thy#
City Planner's explanation on this project He asked if
Lp nnar domes, Inc , would be improving their project by
making these changes
Kelly Carpenter -Craft, Director of Community Developments
said last year, the City Council approved the same
changes for the Fairfax project She said Lennar Homes,
Inc , came up with a better design for its community of
Fairfax and wanted to allow more water lots for its
units She said this was not damaging to the engineering
design for drainage and the City Council approved it
Mrs Carpenter -Craft said she understood that Lennar
Homes, Inc , was doing the same thing for the Exeter
Project, however, a site plan was not in progress at th14
time She said this was a boundary plat which was
approved and the easements were not included with a site
plan, however, she understood Lennar Homes, Inc , was
doing the same thing that they did on the Fairfax
Project
C/M Hoffman said he was concerned with the change
affecting residents who purchased property because of the
canal view He said he did not want any residents
deprived of their rights
Mrs Carpenter -Craft said the change would affect
drainage on the Exeter Plat only and no one lived there
at the moment
C/M Stelzer ask- d if the canals were existing and Mrs
Carpenter -Craft replied, yes, and they would be filled
She said other canals would be provided within the
projpc t
C/M Stelzer ask-d if the developer needed approval fr—.,
the South Florida Water Management District and Mr Foy
said the developer needed a per -nit from the City and
County before the project would proceed
Mayor Abramowitz said the concerns should not be for
Kings Point Hp said anything beneficial for the City,
he would approve regardless of who owned it
Joseph Schreiber, Resident, had concerns about which
canals would be changed and Mayor Abramowitz said the
Agenda was available as well as information concerning
the Item on the Friday before the City Council meeting
He suggested that Mr Schreiber contact the appropriate
Departmpnts regarding his concerns before the City
Council meeting

residential units with curbside collection, therefore, he
suggested changes be made in the Title of the Ordinance
Interim City Attorney Ruf said the phrase would read, "to
require that all single-family residences and residential
units using curbside refuse service "
Mayor Abramowitz said this change was being made because
the condominiums used containers and he did not want the
purpose of the Ordinance misunderstood Hp said
condominiums would be included in the recycling program,
however, the language amendment made it clear that for
the moment, the scavenging law applied to curbside
pickup He said when the condominiums were included in
the recycling program, this law would also apply to them
C/M Rohr said he would like
indicate that the recycling
aluminum and bottles in the

C/M Hoffman said he agreed with C/M Rohr however, he
felt that the City Council should pass this Ordinance as
it was presented He said the Ordinance could be refined
in the future
C/M Rohr said tn- verbiage could state that all r•ur bside
pickups were protp(-ted from scavenging
City Manager Kelly said he was concerned with the
existing program, which providLJ for newsoappr pickup
only HP said he did not object to the residents gaining
profit from aluminum cans at this time
C/M Rohr said the recycling program would be including
aluminum cans in the future and Mayor Abramowitz said
this may occur in approximately 2 months C/M Rohr
suggested that the Ordinance be prepared before it was
needed
City Manager Kelly said the Code already provided against
scavenging of newspapers He said it was important to
let the public know that there were people collecting the
newspapers before the vehicles collected it
C/M Hoffman asked what the penalties wera for scavenging'
and Interim City Attorney Ruf said Page 4, Section 3(C)
of the Ordinance indicated "Violations of Ordinance
Penalties for the failure to comply with the newsoapPr
recycling program or for the unauthorized collection of
recycling materials shall be a fine of not less than
$100 00 nor more than $500 00 or, imorisonne nt for a tarn
not exceeding 90 days or, by both such fine and
imvL, isorunent Each day shall constitute a separate
