Staff presented Resolution 2025-13 seeking authority to fund a share of repairs to parking and landscaping at the Chancellor Corporate Center, which the Village uses for event overflow parking under an existing agreement with South Shore Hotel Associates.

Staff said the village has used the Chancellor Corporate Center parking (242 spaces) for town center events since the amphitheater opened in 2010 and that wear and tear attributable to village events has accumulated. Staff recommended the village pay $25,000 toward approximately $50,000 in parking repairs (seal coating, striping, asphalt repairs) and $8,600 for hedge repairs to install a Calusa hedge to deter pedestrian shortcuts that are damaging turf in a dry retention area.

Council members asked why a pathway was not installed instead of a hedge; staff and the property owner’s representative discussed constraints including cost, ADA compliance and wet/dry retention grades in parts of the site. Staff said temporary barriers would be used until the hedge establishes and that they had discussed spacing to minimize cut‑through paths. Council members directed staff to explore adding a connecting pathway where feasible and to negotiate a longer‑term cross‑parking agreement; the current annual agreement with the property owner expires in September and staff recommended discussing a multi‑year term if the village invests in repairs.

Staff indicated the village also could pursue a more expensive pathway option if the property owner agreed to bear the cost. Council directed staff to return with options for adding a pathway connection, proposals for a longer‑term parking agreement, and the cost‑sharing arrangement for repair work. No formal Council vote was recorded during the agenda review.
