SIDEWALKS AND STREETLIGHTS WITHIN THE SOUTHWEST NEIGHBORHOOD
Discussion took place concerning the capital improvement project for the installation of sidewalks
and streetlights within the Southwest Neighborhood to include a landscape incentive program.
Mr. Knight advised that pursuant to Council direction at its 12/9/11 Workshop Session, staff
obtained conceptual drawings of the proposed sidewalk and streetlight improvements. Engineer
Keith Jackson and Architect Tim Hullihan were present to answer questions about the conceptual
drawings. Mr. Knight reported a Town Hall meeting has been scheduled for 3/31/11 at the
Osborne Park Activities Building, at which Village administration, engineer, architect, and FPL
representatives will be on hand to discuss the proposed project in detail. Notice of the meeting has
been mailed and hand delivered to all affected property owners and residents in the Southwest
Neighborhood. This issue will be placed on a subsequent Workshop agenda to afford residents an
opportunity to express their views to Council.
Mr. Knight stated the project cost is estimated at $385,000, which includes design, engineering,
FPL infrastructure, and all related installation construction costs, with minimal monthly recurring
costs associated with the streetlight component.
Discussion took place concerning a landscape incentive, such as a matching grant or street tree
giveaway, to encourage owners to beautify their properties. Discussion was held regarding
relocation of existing landscaping. Mr. Jackson offered to walk the neighborhood before the
Town Hall meeting in order to identify landscaping that would need to be moved.

• WAIVER FOR SIGNAGE HEIGHT FOR SHOPPES AT CITY CENTRE
Discussion was held concerning a request by Urban Design Kilday Studios to correct signage
waiver language to coincide with that of the design elevations for the Shoppes at City Centre.
Mr. Knight advised that the request addresses an inconsistency within the approval documents
only, and does not modify the height or size of the buildings or change the proposed size or
number of signs. Mr. Knight reported the issue arose due to measurement to the bottom of the
sign versus measurement to the top of the sign, and requires correction so that the waiver
language corresponds to the diagrams.
This item was placed on the next Regular Session agenda.
ADJOURNMENT
With no further business to come before the Council, the meeting adjourned at 9:22 p.m.
