!NORTH BAY VILLAGE SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCE TASK FORCE MEETING ON ZOOM Wednesday, December 20, 2023 - 6:30pm ______________________________________________________________________________ 1.

Board Members Present: Alisha Graham, Chair David Doebler, Vice Chair Julia Stutts, Secretary Brenda Krebs (Neil Krasner absent- Excused) Alisha made motion to excuse Neil’s absence, vote put forth and all in favor. Village Staff Present Commissioner Rachel Streitfeld Silvia Vargas- City Planner Antonio - Silvia’s associate. Marlon Lobban- Public Works Director 2. Approval of Minutes: November 28, 2023 meeting minutes -no changes, Brenda made motion to approve, Dave seconded. All approve. 3. Silvia Vargas - NBV City Planner -Discussion of Green Code revision. Taking the existing code and clean up areas where there are inconsistencies and gaps in the practice of building and zoning. a. As a background, the “green code” was established in 2021. Silvia was new as City Planner in village at that time. Established a point based system, with each building requirement having a point base. b. Addressing where we can add incentives for single family home renovations and building. (Chap. 7-9) c. Definitions in Chapter 3 needs redefinition and updates. d. Raising the bar for the entire program became obvious as new builders were not being challenged by our code, so now looking to raise the threshold. ! 1 4

e. Been looking to change where best practices have changed and where the way the code was written may have had typos, as well as changing the writing itself to be gender neutral. f. Looking to raise point base levels for all building projects except civic projects. 1. Single Fam home from 10 to 12. 2. Multi fam, mixed use building, in high density district (Harbor Island and Treasure) 24 points. 3. Rachel mentions that the new building will be gold and new on Galleon Street community building will have a green roof. 4. David wants to know why we are not asking more from civic projects? A. Silvia, we will be meeting green standards on all new building. B. Rachel - the Village doesn’t own many more properties than what we have going forward. All properties will meet our Green goals. C. Silvia- Whether we raise the code, our buildings will be green. Went back to raise civic building requirement to 24. 5. New to the code is that you can get points if the roof you build is solar ready for future solar projects. Rachel adds - structural support for future loads. 6. Electric Vehicle charging station - Required by code anyway - need to lower number of points. Reduce points to get less, so they don’t get all their points from something already required. David suggests 1 point for each additional station up to 8. Rachel suggests we raise standards to 10%. THe Task Force discusses reducing the cap to 4 points for additional. Further discussion is that single fam home be required to have a single charging station, no points, since already required. 7. David recycling code for demo’d buildings? So all old building debris can go to dedicated construction recycler. Going to ask code enforcement? 8. Alisha - Plants - local Fl native? Silvia replies we follow Miami Dade and that list is found there. 9. Silvia - original remodeling code didn’t want to burden home-owners. 10. “Certified butterfly gardens” - can gain points. 4 points discussed within group. Florida Friendly yard… Water efficient may be better. 11. National Wildlife Federation may have certification rules. g. Silvia requests for us to send her any ideas we may have anytime. h. Silvia and David (David reading off of MB ordinances- Back to EV charging. 12% for hotels, residential multi-fam 10% level 2 charging available. Silvia likes to keep it simple for the village, so it is easy to implement. i. Rainwater harvesting- David thinks worth a point. j. Impervious surface - Alines with the County on this. k. Anything that is not new building, we had expedited permitting for green code items. Silvia says NBV is actually pretty fast. Potential to get grants for those remodeling with new features. Needs Village administration to look at this. l. Dave recommends the Village could use a Bond system in implementing the green building code being used. if a homeowner doesn’t do what they need to be green compliant, they lose the bond money. Silvia- this does not

follow what the City first said, which was not to put undue harm on homeowners. m. Silvia - Site plan approval is conditional to meeting the codes, so new buildings will be following code. The other point based program is more for single family homes remodeling. n. We have electronic submittal, so our permitting goes pretty fast. o. Chapter 10 - Flood protections. 2 feet minimum above base floor. 4. Status update for recycling contract Marlon Lobban. The Contract is still being worked on, how do we charge building with multiple buildings, doing a survey. a. David asking about labeling and this would be in the contract, seems to have been accepted, per Marlon. 5. Dave Doebler asking about use of styrofoam at food trucks at Holiday gathering at the park, Marlon not sure if in the code. Need to notify food trucks that styrofoam not allowed on our property. a. Wondering about use of generators as well? Hurts the experience of people at party. Can outlets be upgraded? Marlon, not sure what was planned, will look into this and let us know. 6. Strategizing and Enhancing Community Engagement will be pushed to next meeting. 7. Update - Marlon, storing the garbage that has been collected and kept from the bay. About 8 lbs. 11.
