PRELIMINARY CERTIFICATE _O___F APPROPRIATENESS -PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING
-" Discussion was held concerning the Planning Commission's findings and approval of
preliminary plans, with conditions, of Village's application for a Certificate of
Appropriateness for the proposed Public Safety facility. During discussion, the consensus
of Council was that another type of fencing other than chain-link should be determined
by the architect, and no tower will be placed on the property. The price submitted by
American Wall Systems, Inc. should be considered by the architect for the project.
Consensus of Council was to consider the wall as a separate issue, which could be
started at any time. Other items agreed to by consensus were additional landscaping
between Corsair Drive and the service alley, a 6-foot limitation on the proposed wall of
a design and material similar to other walls existing on service alleys east of U. S. 1, a
noise buffer for chiller unit, and relocation of the service road to west of the existing lift
station.
It was consensus of Council that if Mariner Key residents propose any other fencing of
higher cost than that which has been customarily provided along service alleys by the
Village, the cost of such must be borne by the Mariner Key Homeowner's Association or
other entity.
Vice Mayor O'Meilia asked for a statement for the record regarding the status of the
gating project by Mariners Key. Larry Smith, representing the Mariners Key Association
and also a number of individual Mariners Key residents, stated for the record that he
°~-- could not say it was never going to happen in the future, but could say that he had been

involved in several meetings wherein the general feeling among those who are officers
or Board members is that gating is not going forward at this time. Mr. Smith told the
Council that if the Village agrees to move the alley as requested and Mariners Key
returns in the future with a gating plan, it will be the responsibility of Mariners Key to pay
the costs. Vice Mayor O'Meilia added that if Mariners Key comes back with a proposal
for a gated community later, they will have a problem making it work. Vice Mayor
O'Meilia told Mr. Smith that Mariner's Key will have a gross problem, economic as well
as engineering. Mayor Vastola reiterated that if any changes will be required at a future
date, the Village will not pay for it. This will be placed on the Regular Session agenda of
September 25, 1997.
