How did fake plastic epoxy sidewalk get put in this doc.? Captec did it on his own? as friend of his and wants us to experiment with
       friends product. Epoxy & waste by products that captec himself at Visions meeting was not liked by skateboarders! One can assume that
       if skate boarders don't like it neither would scooter riders. Skate boarders and scooter riders regularly in the street. The fake JUNK
       won't keep them off the street! It would appear that the Town Mgr. at the behest of the Town Engineer added the fake sidewalk to
       Homewood. Sidewalks should be concrete, mostly all natural product., limestone & water. Fake sidewalk not part of a GRANT!
       " McGreegan" quote Homewood"

            KBI FLEXI PAVE 5400 sq.ft. @ $56,781.00 !!!!!!!!!! How manay lineal feet??? And why in the first place? Captec's guy wants to experiment in us it should be a FREE BE. IF " SKATEBIRADERS DONT LIKE IT" CAPTEC'S WORDS, WHU ARE WE EVEN CONSIDERING IT.
waiting to see if it leeches some TOXIC chemical so Wille can sue us??????????????

6. New Business:

a. Ordinance No. 347 Contract Licensing, First Reading
Big government gets to the Point. After years of trying by last Police Chief & Last Building Official it Appears
current staff has got it's way. As resident Ella Ford put' it. "I'm a big girl I can take care of myself". me to.

b. Discussion of Providing Maintenance Easements for the Islands in the Castle Hill Subdivision

c.        Review by David Shore of WAAM regarding the Martin County Comprehensive Plan Amendment! Airport

Mr. Shore announces that his request is " neither Pro or Con the airport". Of course that's not the case. Anytime Shore is at a podium discussing the
   Airport it will not be Pro. His presentation asked for the Point to send a letter to Dept. of Community Affairs rejecting the Counties "approval (3-2) of
   CPA #06-34" which is a transfer of ownership from the County to the FAA. Go to Martin County Airport Shore say more studies needed. Taxpayers have spent hundreds of thousands on studies. a WAAM ploy.

   Whitham Field under regular attack by WAAM. The airport is an ECONOMIC plus/engine for the County and our tax base.
   WAAM unhappy with the Heard/Staff/ FAA e-mass agreement. To bad, it is a well written agreement. WAAM has provided a service to some residents
   who were very disturbed by take off-noise visa vie departure & landing routes (headings). Notably the Valliere's of Sewall's Point who went so far to
   claim residency in Vista Pines to run in the Airports District. Moving from the Point to Vista Pines the ultimate hypocrisy. Did get her elected
   however. Her cutsy "banner story" mantra served her well. Appears election law violations and recent newspaper accts. will cause her to resign her
   Martin County Commission seat, betcha!
   WAAMers will never be satisfied and will never shut down the airport despite their best efforts.

   Take off & landings,aka "OPS", way down every year
   past 5 years: 2005 93,078 - 2006 88,507 - 2007 80,641 - First 8 months 08: 40,738

d. Approval of McGregan Contract for Homewood Storm Drainage Improvement Project at Cost of $244,759.08 plus 10% Contingency

    A lot of discussion. Opened by Mayor Subin asking Captec Engineering why this didn't go to bid? Joe Capra says always a McGregan family member on site if problems arise. Commissioners tell Town Mgr. & Captec go to bid. To much taxpayer $ involved for favoritism* or convenience.

Plenty of discussion about fake/synthetic sidewalk compounds used as part of the drainage project. 10' wide by 400' long (one block).residents on hand complain about using "KBI FLEX-PAVE". It's a plastic epoxy compound poured together with other waste material (rubber tires? to create a pourous plastic surface supposedly to simulate a sidewalk. Captec says " a lot of people waiting to see how this works out". Question/ Why are we spending our & the governments tax money on experiment! Suggest using " permeable concrete" a pourous natural material, limestone & rock. Permeable concrete is used ad a road material at Audobon's Possum Long street, Stuart. Use of KBI was promoted/presented by Captec Engineering "Visions meeting". His proposal was to do a mile of sidewalk with this epoxy, experimental material, $ 1,000,000.00! Now proposing 400' at Homewood. Captec said at Vision meeting Boca Raton has used it. Where? Lets go see it. Also discussion about color of KBI, black & dark brown. hard to distinguish between roadway and fake sidewalk (KBI).

AGENDA

1. Call to Order

Pledge of Allegiance Roll Call

Approval of Agenda
Public Comment for items not on AGENDA :

From the public. In order to reduce expenses it is requested that the Mayor require the
Town�s Building Official to spend 4 hrs. per day doing on site building inspections. This would reduce the cost to the tax payers of that Department by reducing OVERTIME to part time inspectors. Our small Town does not need a building official who spends 8 hours a day at his desk! It could also have the affect of stopping Town Hall Staff from raising cost to the taxpaying residents by increasing fees to cover their high salaries.

Also to the Town Manager. The budget as I read it last does not have a proper or complete breakdown of salaries for the Building Dept. I.e., no separation of the Building Officials salary from that departments other personel. Why is that?

2. Discussion of River Palm Place (Arbella) - Town Manager Kellogg/Engineer Joe Capra

3. Discussion of Local Mitigation Strategy Plan letters to Homeowners - Building Official Adams

       4.         Contractor Licensing - Building Official Adams

                          16 PAGE DRAFT!

                          Appears Big Brother Big Government has arrived in full force! In the writers opinion STAFF�s duty is to
                          enforce legislation not CREATE IT. What resident or Commissioner has requested this legislation?
                         So, any contractor who works in Sewalla Point has to be licensed by Sewall's Point!!!!!!!!! ??????????? No but ALMOST!
                           Who requested this ordinance? Agenda Item 4. Contractor Licensing. Nothing personal just business.

                            My contractors truck: impeccable work quality always on time. below! i could care less whether he insured, I am!
                            he was refered by another satisfied customer.

Page 1: INTRODUCTION

The Town of Sewall's Point, incorporated on June 29, 1957, a peninsula ofland approximately 3 1/2 mile in length and approximately
1/3 a mile in width, the area encompasses 1.23 Square miles, containing 780 acres ofland (00.2% of the total land area of Martin County, Florida and is

bounded on the east by the Indian River (Intercoastal Waterway) and on the west by the St. Lucie River. Elevations in Sewall's
Point range from sea level to 54.9 feet msl, with most ofthe land covered by hammock vegetation. A variety of soils are present with
all of them suitable for building. State Route AlA traverses the peninsula providing access between Stuart and Ft.Pierce.

Originally settled in the late 1800's, Sewall's Point was a pineapple plantation serviced by internal rail and road systems, and by
sailing schooners. The first post office for the Martin County area was located at the southern tip of Sewall's Point where the
St.Lucie and Indian Rivers meet. Evidence of this early period still exist on the peninsula with large plantation style houses, typical
of the period, still being used as private residents. During the surges in Florida real estate of the 1920's, 1940's 1960's and 1980's
and 2000's, Sewall's Points unique amenities and quality of life as a small town, drew interest from people seeking to locate to the
area. The Town operates under the Town Commission/Town Manger form of government, this took place in November of
2006 when voters approved a Charter Amendment creating this form of government, its first full time Manager was hired and given
authority of the day to day operation of the Town, which include a Police Department, Town Clerk and Building Department.
Town Hall lies at the center of Town at the intersection of AlA and South Sewall's Point Road. Across from Town Hall is a
0.80 acre park owned by the Town for use by the residents.

The Town has seen a significant change in the income of its residents the last 15 to 20 years, prior that time, the town had various
classes of income levels, since then, higher income level people have located to Town. Median household income in 2005 for
Sewall's Point was $102,700 compared to Florida's of$42,400. In 2007 Martin County had the second highest income level in the
State. The range of incomes varies from retirees to business owners. The 1989 Comprehensive Plan suggests that there were only
5 seasonal households based on the 1980 Census. We believe that number was grossly under estimated, as today more than 150
homes are used as seasonal dwellings. These numbers are based on the Sewall's Point Police Department resident's log of security check made by the department on a weekly basis. All utilities except private wells, private septic tanks and commercial sewage package plants are provided by Martin County which also provides potable water, solid waste disposal to the Towns residents are provide by private contractors.

1Page 2: Purpose

The Town of Sewall's Point Comprehensive Plan was adopted On December 13, 1989.This report is the first Evaluation and
Appraisal Report (EAR) for Sewall's Point. The Local Growth Management Comprehensive Planning and Land Development
Regulation Act, Chapter 163, Part II of the Florida Statutes (F.S.) requires local governments to evaluate and assess the overall

Public Participation Process

In May of2008 the Town Commission began its preparation of the EAR for the Town by holding a goal setting meeting and to development its first
Vision Statement for the Town; attending the meeting was the Town Commissioners, Town Manager, Town Attorney, Town Building Official,
Police Chief, Town Clerk, Town Engineer and 3 residents of the
community. The writer only noted 2 residents, the writer and Ralph Parks who stayed about 15 mintes. Commissioner Schoppee left at 3:15
("early Mothers Day Prep") which caused changing in the presentations. I.e., Building Official & Police Chief presentations cancelled.

In addition, a scoping meeting was held on June 26, 2008. Invited to the Scoping Meeting were representatives of Martin County,
City of Stuart, Jupiter Island, Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, South Florida Water Management District, and Florida
Department of Transportation, Various Home Owners Association in Town and Town residents.

On July 23,2008 the Department of Community Affairs outlined the major items to be addressed in the EAR, which include;

� How the Town will address affordable workforce housing:

� The need to revise the Town's current traffic Circulation Element to incorporate revised statutory requirements related to the
Transportation Element:

� The revised definition of Coastal High Hazard Areas established in Section 163.2178(2)(h), F.S., will need to be incorporated
in the Town's Comprehensive Plan and amend the Future Land Use Map to depict the Coastal High Hazard Area:

� The need to revise the Town's current Capital Improvement Element, including a Five- Year Schedule of Capital Improvements:

� The need to establish and include at least two planning periods occurring after the Plan's adoption anda second planning period covering at least a 10 year period.

� Revise the town's current (1989) Future Land Use Map and include a natural resources map or map senes.

� Assess the Town's continued eligibility to remain exempt from the school concurrency requirements based upon the criteria in
Section 163.3177(12), F.S.

� Update and revise the outdated definitions such as "DER" and "DNR" that are in theTown's 1889 adopted Comprehensive Plan:
and prepare the Town's 10- Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan.

A public hearing on the Draft ofthe EAR has held with the LPA (Town Commission) on September 2,2008 to review and receive
input and make recommendations from theresidents and Town Commission on the proposed EAR.

Land Use Changes/Annexation

As of1989, Sewall's Point contained a total land of approximately 780 acres with 11.5 acres zoned Commercial and 768.5 acres
zoned Residential. The Town has since not annexed anyadjacent properties and is not actively pursuing annexation.

School Concurrency

Currently the Town is exempt from the school citing requirements, however, should population demographics change requiring a
school to be located within the Town, The Town will cooperate with the Martin County Board of Education to locate said facility
in the Town limits.

page 4: Coordination of Water Supply Plan

Florida Statutes mandate that local governments prepare a water supply facilities work plan, identity how future water supply needs will be met, and amend the local Comprehensive Plan to incorporate the work plan. The Town of Sewall's Point is provided water by the Martin County Unities.
The South Florida Water Management District has sub-divided their district into four regions, with Martin County falling in the
Upper East Coast Water Supply Planning area. The Upper East Coast Water Supply Plan was adopted by the district in
February 2006 and requires Sewall's Point to adopt this plan amendment. The Town will adopt such amendment at its September 2,
2008 meeting. The infrastructure element must include a 10-year work plan for constructing public, private and regional water
supply facilities, including alternative water supplies to serve existing and new development. Additionally, the 10-year water facilities
work plan should include projections of water demand, existing water sources and facilities, alternative water sources, conservation,
reuse and the need for new and expanded facilities, and cost analysis and funding for capital improvement projects. Martin County
has previously amended its Potable Water Element to meet these requirements.

Changes in Land Use Density

As the minimum lot sizes for new subdivisions were increased, first in February of 1984 from 15,000 to 18,000 Square feet and then
again on December 21, 1999 from 18,000 to 30,,,000 square feet, all platted lots prior to those date were able to retain their lot
sizes. Any new undeveloped or redeveloped lot can be built or rebuilt to the original zoning regulations that were in place on the
date the lot was originally platted. Therefore redevelopment activities in the Coastal High Hazard Area are not impacted by newer
regulations that require lower densities.

AGENDA

1. Call to Order

� Pledge of Allegiance, � Roll Call, � Approval of Agenda

2. Motion to Commence Executive Session

3. Executive Session regarding pending litigation (Quisenberry property)

The 6: 30 opening is an Executive meeting to bring Commissioners up to speed on the Quisinberry Code violations case,
With accumulated fines around $ 200,000. Quisinberry has counter sued. No Public Allowed.
We would hope that the Commissioners would cal witnesses such as Code members who are familiar with the situation,

4. Motion to Terminate Executive Session

5. Comments from the public on topics not on the agenda

6. Public Hearings & Presentations

a. Women Supporting the Arts ~ Sheila Kurtz and Artist Brenda Lee
This is about selecting the art work for the front of the FPL green utility boxes in front of Town Hall. The writer would
suggest that let the artist pick the design or all draw straws.

b. Ordinance #345 Pick-Up Trucks, First Reading ~ Mayor Subin
        This ordinance needs a little more tweaking. First get rid of the "5000# scale weight provision." Designate models allowed by make. The industry standard is the
        Ford F-150 originaly named the F-1. named the F1 because of it's bed payload of 1/2 ton or 1000 lbs.
        1968:

F-1: 1/2 ton (4,700 GVWR max) next version the F-100 followed by the current F- 150 payload went from 1000# to 1500#
F-2: 3/4 ton (5,700 GVWR max) F-200 F - 250 max payload 3100#'s, single rear wheels.
F-3: Heavy Duty 3/4 ton (6,800 GVWR max) F-300 F- 350 etc

G M has matching designations currently C-1500, 2500, 3500. Duplicating Fords weight capacity model designations.
Chrysler/Dodge same matching model designations Ram 1500, 2500, 3500.
Toyota stays with a basic model, Tundra, offering many configurations. The largest net payload being 1845#'s.
Nissan basically same as Toyota.

          CONCLUSION: USE FORD F-250 AKA SUPER DUTY AS MAXIMUM STANDARD FOR THE ORDINANCE. "NO DUAL REAR WHEELS ALLOWED. THAT TAKES
          CARE OF BEAST'S. " NO LIFT KITS OTHER THAN THOSE AS OFFERED AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT BY THE ORIGINAL MFG. ? ALSO TAKES CARE OF
          BEAST'S. Use Ford as Ford F-150 largest selling vehicle in America 20 years running.

         The writers truck credentials : I drove pick ups as my daily mode of transportation fro over 25 years. My wives drove cars. I bought trucks
         for my equipment dealerships. My salesmen drove trucks. I have owned virtually every make available up to the the F-350 class. I owned and drove my
         own International Trans Star cab over twin screw diesl tractor trailer combo. Drove it on a regular basis to & from Oklahome to NJ to pick up Ditch Witch
         equipment, "by the truckload". I have some great (scary) truckstop stories. Un fortunately I cannot share them in this public arena.

          SEE A BEAST HERE:

         DUAL REAR WHEEL EXCLUSION ELIMINATES MOST BEAST'S. EXCEPT FOR SUV'S THAT ARE CURRENTLY LEGAL IN TOWN:

          SEE LEGAL SPT SUV BEAST HERE: lives IN iNDIALUCIE, WON'T FIT IN IT'S NEST.

c. Appointments to Board of Zoning Adjustment and Code Enforcement Board

LAST TOWN MEETING MESSED UP. THEY SHOULD HAVE OPENED WITH A WORKSHOP, ADJOURNED, OPENED A REGULAR MEETING, ADJOURNED.
THE MEETING WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A "WORKSHOP ON THE Budget & Pick ups. A regular Agenda iten was part of the meeting basically voiding the whole friggin thing.

"Comments from Commissioners on topics not on the agenda"

Cmsr. Schoppe shared his desire to engage the community in �giving something back� to the area by serving people in need. A variety of suggestions were made and it was determined that further discussion needed to be held on the subject. Mr. Schoppe was advised by other members and the Town Atty. that his proposal was inappropriate for the Towns Governong body. The writer heard it was a Catholic organization deal.
