5:11:43PM WE'LL START WITH ITEM NUMBER 2.
5:11:44PM YES, MA'AM.
5:11:48PM >> GOOD EVENING, CHAIR, MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL, MY NAME IS
5:11:51PM DANA CROSBY COLLIER.
5:11:53PM WITH ME THIS EVENING IS ROB MOSAKOWSKI.
5:11:56PM I'M AN ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY IN THE CITY ATTORNEY OFFICE
5:11:59PM AND HE IS WITH OUR LITIGATION PRACTICE GROUP.
5:12:01PM I'M HERE TO PRESENT ITEM NUMBER 2, REZ-22-61 ON TONIGHT'S
5:12:07PM AGENDA IN ORDER TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE'S
5:12:10PM RECOMMENDATION FROM A REQUEST FOR RELIEF FOLLOWED BY SE
5:12:16PM COMBINED SERVICES OF FLORIDA.
5:12:17PM THE REQUEST FOR RELIEF WAS FILED PURSUANT TO SECTION 70-51
5:12:21PM OF THE FLORIDA STATUTES WHICH IS THE FLORIDA LAND USE AND
5:12:24PM ENVIRONMENTAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION AT THE FLUEDRA.
5:12:26PM I WANT TO MAKE A FEW BRIEF COMMENTS BEFORE PROVIDING THE
5:12:30PM HISTORY OF THIS APPLICATION AND THE DETAILS OF THE PROPOSED
5:12:34PM SETTLEMENT.
5:12:35PM UNLIKE THE STANDARD REZONING APPLICATIONS BEFORE YOU THIS
5:12:38PM EVENING, ANYTIME YOU CONSIDER A SETTLEMENT PROPOSAL OF THIS
5:12:42PM NATURE, YOUR ROLE IN THIS MATTER IS LEGISLATIVE, WHICH IS
5:12:47PM ALLOWS YOU, THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER ITEMS OUTSIDE OF THE
5:12:50PM LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AND COMP PLAN, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
5:12:52PM LIMITED TO, THE IMPACT AND PUBLIC INTEREST RESULTING FROM
5:12:56PM THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT.
5:12:58PM AFTER I CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION, YOU WILL HEAR BRIEFLY FROM
5:13:02PM SPECIAL MAGISTRATE SCOTT STEADY WHO WAS RETAINED BY THE CITY
5:13:06PM AND THE APPLICANT TO BE THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE IN THIS
5:13:09PM MATTER.
5:13:09PM ONCE MR. STEADY CONFIRMS THE MEDIATION PROCESS THAT WE
5:13:14PM FOLLOWED AND HIS RECOMMENDATION, YOU WILL HEAR FROM CITY
5:13:17PM STAFF FOLLOWED BY PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF, THE APPLICANT
5:13:22PM AND THE PUBLIC.
5:13:22PM AFTER PUBLIC COMMENT, PLEASE ALLOW THE APPLICANT THE
5:13:25PM OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE REBUTTAL.
5:13:28PM FINALLY, AS YOU CONSIDER THE TESTIMONY AND EVIDENCE ENTERED
5:13:31PM INTO THE RECORD OF TONIGHT'S HEARING, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT
5:13:34PM ALTHOUGH THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE'S RECOMMENDATION IS A PUBLIC
5:13:37PM RECORD, ACTIONS OR STATEMENTS OF THE REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE
5:13:41PM CITY AND FOR THE APPLICANT ARE EVIDENCE OF AN OFFER TO
5:13:45PM COMPROMISE AND ARE INADMISSIBLE IN ANY FURTHER PROCEEDINGS.
5:13:49PM I MENTION THIS IN THE EVENT CITY COUNCIL IS CONCERNED ABOUT
5:13:52PM THE POSSIBILITY OF SETTING A PRECEDENT WITH A SPECIAL
5:13:55PM MAGISTRATE'S RECOMMENDATION.
5:13:56PM TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE OVERVIEW OF THE FLUEDRA PROCESS, YOUR
5:14:02PM DECEMBER 8, 2022, MEETING IN A 4-2 VOTE, CITY COUNCIL DENIED
5:14:07PM THE REZONING FROM RM 16 TO PD -- SORRY, RESIDENTIAL
5:14:12PM MULTIFAMILY TO PD, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, WHICH WOULD HAVE
5:14:14PM ALLOWED THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FUNERAL PARLOR AND A CEMETERY
5:14:18PM ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3602 NORTH 50th AND 3501 NORTH
5:14:23PM 46th STREET.
5:14:24PM FOLLOWING COUNCIL'S DENIAL, THE APPLICANT FILED A REQUEST
5:14:29PM FOR RELIEF ON JANUARY 6, 2023, ALLEGING THAT THE APPLICANT
5:14:32PM HAD MET HIS BURDEN OF PROOF IN ESTABLISHING CONSISTENCY WITH
5:14:36PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAND
5:14:38PM DEVELOPMENT CODE.
5:14:39PM WHEN THE REQUEST FOR RELIEF WAS ORIGINALLY FILED WITH THE
5:14:43PM CITY, I SENT YOU ALL A MEMO AND DESCRIBED THE PROCESS THAT
5:14:46PM WE WOULD DO FOR THE SECTION 70.51 FLORIDA STATUTE FLUEDRA
5:14:53PM PROCESS.
5:14:53PM IT DOES INVOLVE A TWO-STEP PROCESS.
5:14:55PM STEP ONE OF THE PROCESS IS THE MEDIATION.
5:14:58PM WE MEET BEFORE THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE WHO CONDUCTS AN
5:15:01PM INFORMAL MEDIATION WITH THE PARTIES DURING WHICH THE
5:15:04PM APPLICANT AND CITY CONSIDER ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENTS AND
5:15:08PM DESIGNS FOR THE PLAN.
5:15:09PM WE CONSIDERED THINGS THAT WOULD BE RESPONSIVE TO YOUR
5:15:12PM REASONS FOR DENIAL OF THE PLAN.
5:15:14PM IN THIS CASE, THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE CONDUCTED THE INFORMAL
5:15:18PM MEDIATION ON APRIL 17, 2023.
5:15:21PM FOLLOWING THAT MEDIATION, THE PARTIES CONTINUED TO MEET AND
5:15:24PM WORK THROUGH THE ISSUES WITH THE PLAN IN ORDER TO SATISFY
5:15:29PM YOUR CONCERNS AT YOUR PUBLIC HEARING.
5:15:31PM ON NOVEMBER 12, 2023, AFTER WE REACHED AGREEMENT ON THE
5:15:35PM TERMS, THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE ISSUED A REPORT AND
5:15:38PM RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDING FAVORABLE CONSIDERATION OF THE
5:15:41PM APPLICANT'S DESIGN PLAN, REDESIGNED PLAN.
5:15:44PM SO THE PROJECT BEFORE YOU TODAY IS VASTLY DIFFERENT FROM
5:15:47PM THAT WHICH YOU SAW IN DECEMBER OF 2022.
5:15:50PM AND SO IS YOUR ROLE TONIGHT.
5:15:54PM AS I MENTIONED AT THE OUTSET, YOU'RE CONSIDERING A
5:15:56PM SETTLEMENT PROPOSAL AND YOUR ACTION TONIGHT ON THE
5:15:59PM SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WILL BE LEGISLATIVE.
5:16:04PM WE AT THE DECEMBER 8 HEARING YOU MAY RECALL THE DEVELOPER
5:16:07PM PRESENTED A DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT SHOWED AN IMPACT OF
5:16:10PM APPROXIMATELY 95% OF A WETLAND THAT WAS LOCATED ON THE SITE.
5:16:13PM THE DEVELOPMENT HAD NOT RECEIVED APPROVAL FROM THE
5:16:17PM HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION COMMISSION AND
5:16:20PM THE CITY COUNCIL DENIED THE REZONING APPLICATION DUE TO THE
5:16:23PM FAILURE OF THE APPLICANT TO MEET ITS BURDEN OF PROOF
5:16:28PM REGARDING -- AND PROVIDE COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT
5:16:31PM THE DEVELOPMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH OUR CODE AND COMP PLAN.
5:16:34PM ALSO FINDING THAT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT DID NOT PROVIDE
5:16:38PM FOR A WETLAND BUFFER AND WOULD RESULT IN A NET LOSS OF THE
5:16:42PM WETLAND.
5:16:43PM FOLLOWING MEDIATION, THE APPLICANT CREATED THE REVISED
5:16:47PM APPLICATION THAT IS BEFORE YOU TODAY.
5:16:48PM THE REVISED APPLICATION HAS RECEIVED APPROVAL FROM THE EPC
5:16:52PM TO IMPACT 10% OF THE WETLAND.
5:16:54PM WETLAND MITIGATION WILL BE PROVIDED ADJACENT TO THE EXISTING
5:16:58PM WETLAND FOR ANY IMPACT PROPOSED TO THE WETLAND BUFFER AS
5:17:02PM CITY STAFF WILL DISCUSS WITH YOU IN A MOMENT IN GREATER
5:17:05PM DETAIL.
5:17:05PM FURTHERMORE, IN THE INITIAL APPLICATION, THE APPLICANT
5:17:08PM REQUESTED A WAIVER TO REMOVE A NON-HAZARDOUS GRAND TREE.
5:17:12PM GOOD NEWS, THE REVISED APPLICATION, THE WAIVER HAS BEEN
5:17:15PM ELIMINATED SO THAT NO NON-HAZARDOUS GRAND TREES WILL BE
5:17:20PM REMOVED IN THE REVISED APPLICATION.
5:17:23PM IN A REGULAR REZONING OR QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING, YOU'RE
5:17:26PM GOING TO LOOK SOLELY AT WHETHER THE APPLICANT HAS
5:17:29PM DEMONSTRATED BY SUBSTANTIAL COMPETENT EVIDENCE THAT THE
5:17:32PM PROJECT MEETS THE CITY REGULATION AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
5:17:35PM COMP PLAN.
5:17:35PM BUT BECAUSE THIS IS A SETTLEMENT PROPOSAL, THERE ARE OTHER
5:17:38PM FACTORS THAT YOU MUST TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION, INCLUDING THE
5:17:42PM FACT THAT THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT, IF APPROVED, WILL RESOLVE
5:17:45PM THE PENDING FLUEDRA AND WILL LIMIT POTENTIAL LIABILITY FOR
5:17:49PM THE CITY.
5:17:50PM SO PURSUANT TO SECTION 70.51 THE FLUEDRA ACT, YOU HAVE THREE
5:17:55PM OPTIONS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT.
5:17:57PM AFTER HEARING ALL THE EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY PRESENTED WITH
5:18:01PM RESPECT TO THE PROPOSED REZONING AND THIS REVISED
5:18:04PM APPLICATION AND TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION OTHER MATTERS
5:18:06PM PRESENTED TONIGHT, YOU MAY ACCEPT THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE'S
5:18:10PM RECOMMENDATION AND PROCEED TO IMPLEMENT THE RECOMMENDATION.
5:18:13PM IN THIS CASE, IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RECOMMENDATION REQUIRES
5:18:17PM CITY COUNCIL TO FIRST ADOPT A MOTION TO APPROVE THE SPECIAL
5:18:20PM MAGISTRATE'S RECOMMENDATION AND REVISED APPLICATION AND THEN
5:18:25PM WE WOULD PLACE THE FIRST READING OF THE REZONING ORDINANCE
5:18:28PM ON FIRST READING FOR YOU TO VOTE UPON.
5:18:31PM A SECOND READING ON THE ORDINANCE WILL STILL BE REQUIRED AT
5:18:34PM A LATER DATE.
5:18:35PM IF YOU DETERMINE CITY COUNCIL THAT THE APPLICANT HAS FAILED
5:18:38PM TO MEET ITS BURDEN AND AFTER TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION ALL
5:18:41PM THE OTHER MATTERS, YOU MAY REJECT THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE'S
5:18:45PM RECOMMENDATION.
5:18:46PM FINALLY, YOU MAY MODIFY THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE'S
5:18:49PM RECOMMENDATION WITH THE APPLICANT'S ACCEPTANCE OF ANY CHANGE
5:18:53PM IN TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
5:18:54PM I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
5:18:56PM IF THERE ARE NONE AT THIS TIME, I'LL TURN THE PRESENTATION
5:18:59PM OVER TO SCOTT STEADY, OUR SPECIAL MAGISTRATE IN THIS
5:19:02PM PROCEEDING.
5:19:03PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
5:19:03PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
5:19:05PM >> THANK YOU.
5:19:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
5:19:09PM >> CHAIRMAN AND CITY COUNCIL, SCOTT STEADY.
5:19:11PM I ACTED AS THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE ON THIS MATTER.
5:19:14PM WE HAD A MEDIATION ON APRIL 17.
5:19:18PM IT WAS SUCCESSFUL.
5:19:19PM BASICALLY THE APPLICANT WAS THERE AND CITY STAFF, UNLIKE
5:19:23PM OTHERS THAT I'VE DEALT WITH, THERE WERE NO OTHER THIRD
5:19:25PM PARTIES, NO OTHER RESIDENTS THAT HAD ANY CONCERNS.
5:19:28PM IT WAS BASICALLY ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF THE WETLANDS AND
5:19:31PM THE MITIGATION.
5:19:32PM THE APPLICANT AGREED THAT THEY WOULD GO BACK TO EPC, GET IT
5:19:37PM DELINEATED, DEAL DIRECTLY AND BRING BACK A PLAN THAT I
5:19:40PM BELIEVE CITY COUNCIL SHOULD CONSIDER AND I RECOMMEND.
5:19:44PM I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
5:19:46PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
5:19:47PM ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE MAGISTRATE?

5:21:47PM THE PROPOSED FUNERAL HOME AND CEMETERY WOULD BE APPROPRIATE,
5:21:50PM COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA.
5:21:52PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REQUIRES COMMERCIAL USES TO BE
5:21:55PM APPROPRIATELY BUFFERED FROM RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS AND THE
5:21:58PM APPLICANT IS PROVIDING A 30-FOOT SETBACK FOR THE CEMETERY
5:22:01PM AND A 6-FOOT TALL WALL WOOD FENCE ENSURING THE DEVELOPMENT
5:22:06PM IS APPROPRIATELY SCREENED FROM THE ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL USES
5:22:09PM THAT IS PROPOSED ON THIS SIDE OF THE DEVELOPMENT.
5:22:12PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROMOTES PEDESTRIAN SAFETY AND
5:22:15PM ENCOURAGES COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT ENHANCES THE CITY OF
5:22:18PM TAMPA'S CHARACTER AND AMBIENCE BY REQUIRING NEW COMMERCIAL
5:22:21PM DEVELOPMENT TO CONNECT BUILDING ENTRANCES TO PUBLIC
5:22:24PM RIGHTS-OF-WAY.
5:22:24PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS WITHIN A MIXED USE CORRIDOR AND TRANSIT
5:22:28PM EMPHASIS CORRIDOR.
5:22:29PM PD PROVIDES A FRONT DOOR THAT FACES THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY
5:22:32PM WITH PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS TO THE PARKING LOT AND TO NORTH
5:22:35PM 50th STREET.
5:22:36PM ADDITIONALLY, THE MAJORITY OF THE PARKING IS LOCATED IN THE
5:22:39PM REAR OF THE BUILDING.
5:22:40PM WHILE A SIDEWALK IS NOT PROVIDED ON NORTH 46th STREET, IT
5:22:43PM WAS DETERMINED THAT A SIDEWALK IS NOT FEASIBLE AND PER
5:22:48PM GENERAL NOTE 17, THE FEE IN LIEU WOULD BE PAID.
5:22:51PM LASTLY, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SPEAKS AT LENGTH TO
5:22:56PM PROTECTING WETLANDS.
5:22:57PM APPLICANT WORKED WITH EPC TO DELINEATE THE WETLAND.
5:23:01PM IN CONCLUSION, THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CHARACTER
5:23:03PM OF THE SURROUNDING AREA AND LONG-RANGE DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND
5:23:05PM THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS.
5:23:07PM THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
5:23:09PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
5:23:10PM NO.
5:23:11PM THANK YOU.
5:23:11PM YES, MA'AM.
5:23:15PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: LaCHONE DOCK, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
5:23:18PM AGAIN, REZ-22-61.
5:23:22PM THIS PD REQUEST WOULD ALLOW FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A FUNERAL
5:23:26PM HOME AND CEMETERY ON-SITE.
5:23:27PM THE SITE IS CURRENTLY VACANT.
5:23:29PM AND I'LL SHOW YOU PICTURES OF THE SITE SHORTLY.
5:23:32PM THE PROPOSAL IS TO DEVELOP AN 18,240 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING
5:23:38PM ON-SITE.
5:23:38PM THIS WOULD BE CONTAINED WITHIN 446,870 SQUARE FEET OF LAND,
5:23:48PM WHICH WOULD BE UTILIZED FOR CEMETERY USE ON-SITE.
5:23:52PM MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT IS 35 FEET THAT IS PROPOSED WITHIN
5:23:55PM THE PD PLAN.
5:23:56PM JUST IN SUMMARY, AND I KNOW DANA GAVE A BRIEF BACKGROUND AS
5:24:02PM TO HOW WE GOT HERE TODAY, BUT JUST TO EXPLAIN AND LET THE
5:24:08PM PUBLIC KNOW THIS IS WHAT IS INCLUDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT
5:24:11PM ALSO.
5:24:11PM THE REVISED APPLICATION WAS SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT, AND
5:24:15PM THEY DID RECEIVE APPROVAL FROM EPC, AS MENTIONED EARLIER.
5:24:19PM NOW THE IMPACT IS 10% OF THE WETLAND AREA, WETLAND
5:24:24PM MITIGATION IS PROVIDED, AND ALSO THE APPLICANT WAS
5:24:29PM REQUESTING A WAIVER TO REMOVE A NON-HAZARDOUS GRAND TREE
5:24:32PM WITH THE FIRST SUBMITTAL AND THAT WAIVER HAS BEEN REMOVED.
5:24:36PM SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS TO SHOW YOU THE AERIAL OF THE
5:24:41PM SITE.
5:24:42PM THIS IS THE SITE WHICH IS IDENTIFIED HERE OUTLINED IN RED.
5:24:46PM THIS IS NORTH 50th STREET.
5:24:48PM THIS IS MLK.
5:24:50PM AND THEN THIS IS NORTH 46th STREET THAT BORDERS TO THE
5:24:54PM WEST.
5:24:55PM I'LL SHOW YOU THE PICTURES OF THE PROPERTIES NORTH OF THE
5:25:02PM SITE.
5:25:02PM THE NORTH END NO ACCESS ON NORTH 50th STREET.
5:25:05PM YOU WOULD HAVE TO COME DOWN TO EAST 26th STREET, COME
5:25:08PM AROUND AND THEN COME UP NORTH 46th STREET TO GET TO THIS
5:25:11PM WEST END, UNLESS YOU COME FROM MLK OR FROM LAKE.
5:25:16PM THIS IS THE SITE PLAN WHICH WAS SUBMITTED.
5:25:22PM THE RECENT SITE PLAN.
5:25:23PM THIS IS 50th STREET BORDERING ON THE EAST.
5:25:26PM AND THEN THIS IS 46th STREET THAT'S ON THE WEST OF THE
5:25:30PM SITE.
5:25:31PM I CAN PULL IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT.
5:25:33PM WHAT IS PROPOSED IS ACCESS TO THE SITE FROM 50th STREET ON
5:25:37PM THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY OF THE SITE, TWO-WAY TRAVEL.
5:25:43PM ALSO, THE BUILDING IS PROPOSED TO BE LOCATED HERE.
5:25:45PM THIS YOU MAY REMEMBER WAS THE WETLAND AREA, PREVIOUSLY WITH
5:25:49PM THE FIRST SUBMITTAL, EVERYTHING WAS SHIFTED NORTH AND THEN
5:25:53PM THIS PARKING, THE NORTHERN PARKING SPACES WERE HERE NEAR THE
5:25:57PM BOUNDARY OF THE SITE.
5:25:58PM SO THAT HAS BEEN SHIFTED.
5:26:01PM THE BUILDING IS COMPLETELY OUT OF THIS WETLAND AREA, AND
5:26:05PM THEN ALSO WHAT HAS BEEN PROPOSED IS A RETAINING WALL HERE
5:26:09PM AROUND THAT WETLAND AREA, WHICH WILL BE PLACED ON-SITE.
5:26:13PM YOU CAN SEE ADDITIONAL SURFACE PARKING HERE LOCATED ON THE
5:26:16PM WEST AND THEN THIS PORTION OF THE SITE ALONG THE WEST WOULD
5:26:19PM BE DEDICATED FOR CEMETERY USE.
5:26:21PM AND THEN HERE ARE ELEVATIONS OF THE BUILDING.
5:26:27PM SO THIS WOULD SHOW YOU THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BUILDING.
5:26:33PM THIS IS THE REAR ELEVATION, AND THEN THIS WOULD BE THE RIGHT
5:26:40PM SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND THEN THE LEFT, THE BOTTOM PICTURE
5:26:43PM IS THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING WHICH ORIENTS TO 50th.
5:26:47PM AND THEN I HAVE PICTURES OF THE SITE.
5:26:54PM SO THIS IS THE EASTERN BOUNDARY OF THE SITE.
5:26:56PM THE SITE IS HEAVILY WOODED.
5:26:58PM AS I MENTIONED, THE SITE IS VACANT.
5:27:00PM THIS IS FROM THE SITE, AND THIS IS IF YOU ARE LOOKING SOUTH
5:27:07PM ON 50th STREET, SO THE SITE IS HERE ON THE RIGHT IN THE
5:27:10PM PICTURE.
5:27:11PM I'LL SWING AROUND TO THE WEST END OF THE SITE.
5:27:16PM THIS IS ON 46th STREET.
5:27:18PM THIS IS A VIEW OF THE WEST END OF THE SITE.
5:27:24PM THIS IS THE SITE HERE.
5:27:25PM AND IF YOU ARE LOOKING NORTH ON 46th STREET, THIS IS THE
5:27:31PM EXISTING ENTRANCE ON THE SITE.
5:27:34PM THIS IS THE WEST SIDE STILL.
5:27:36PM THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW ON THE WEST END OF THE SITE.
5:27:39PM THIS IS ON 50th STREET, AND THEN THIS IS THE SURROUNDING
5:27:48PM USE ON 50th.
5:27:49PM THIS IS TO THE NORTH, THE CREDIT UNION.
5:27:52PM THIS IS ANOTHER SITE NORTH OF THE SITE.
5:27:57PM THIS IS THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CENTER.
5:27:59PM THAT'S ANOTHER VIEW FROM THE NORTH SITE, THE SITE JUST
5:28:05PM ADJACENT TO THE NORTH.
5:28:06PM THIS IS WEST OF THE SITE.
5:28:08PM THIS IS ACROSS 50th STREET, THE COMMERCIAL, ANOTHER VIEW
5:28:13PM WEST OF THE SITE.
5:28:14PM THE DRC STAFF REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FINDS THE REQUEST
5:28:19PM INCONSISTENT.
5:28:19PM IT IS DUE TO THE ACCESS TO THE LOCAL STREET FROM
5:28:23PM TRANSPORTATION.
5:28:23PM AND THEN SITE PLAN MODIFICATIONS TO BE MADE.
5:28:26PM THERE ARE TWO ITEMS THAT ARE ON.
5:28:29PM THEY ADDRESSED ALL THE OTHER CHANGES REQUESTED BY STAFF, AND
5:28:32PM THOSE ARE MINOR NOTES TO BE PLACED ON THE SITE PLAN BETWEEN
5:28:35PM FIRST AND SECOND READING.
5:28:36PM WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.
5:28:39PM I'M AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
5:28:40PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
5:28:41PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
5:28:43PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
5:28:53PM >> DAVID SINGER, 1000 WEST CASS STREET, TAMPA, 33606.
5:28:59PM I COME BEFORE YOU TONIGHT TO ENDORSE THE MAGISTRATE'S
5:29:02PM FINDING AND THE CITY STAFF FINDING.
5:29:05PM I WILL NOT BELABOR YOU TONIGHT WITH A LONG PRESENTATION.
5:29:09PM I WILL PUT UP THE SITE PLAN ONE MORE TIME JUST SO YOU CAN
5:29:14PM SEE IT.
5:29:14PM JUST TO RECAP, THE APPLICANT OWNS ALL THE PROPERTY ALREADY.
5:29:19PM WE'RE MOVING THE FUNERAL HOME FROM ONE SIDE OF THE SITE TO
5:29:21PM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SITE.
5:29:23PM A YEAR AND TWO MONTHS AGO THERE WAS AN ISSUE ABOUT IMPACTING
5:29:27PM WETLANDS.
5:29:27PM THEY IMPACTED TOO MANY WETLANDS.
5:29:29PM WE CHANGED IT.
5:29:30PM WORKED WITH CITY STAFF AND EPC AND NOW WE WILL MITIGATE THE
5:29:34PM VERY LITTLE IMPACT WE'LL HAVE.
5:29:36PM ALSO WE WILL NOT BE REMOVING THE GRAND TREE THAT WAS ON THE
5:29:39PM SITE.
5:29:40PM THERE'S NO PARKING WAIVER.
5:29:41PM THE ONLY WAIVER THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS TO BE ABLE TO
5:29:44PM ACCESS THE SITE HERE ON 46th FOR A COUPLE OF REASONS.
5:29:48PM ONE FOR CEMETERY VISITATION AND, TWO, FOR EMERGENCY
5:29:52PM VEHICLES.
5:29:52PM I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT THE
5:29:55PM SITE PLAN.
5:29:55PM I WOULD HOPE YOU APPROVE THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE FLUEDRA
5:30:00PM POSTURE AND THE SITE PLAN TONIGHT AND WE WOULD SEE YOU AGAIN
5:30:03PM FOR SECOND READING IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
5:30:05PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: JUST TO BE CLEAR, THE EPC -- YOU DIDN'T
5:30:09PM HAVE APPROVAL WHEN YOU LAST CAME HERE BUT NOW YOU DO.
5:30:12PM >> CORRECT.
5:30:13PM WE DIDN'T HAVE APPROVAL OR DENIAL.
5:30:15PM THEY DIDN'T TAKE A FULL ENOUGH LOOK.
5:30:16PM NOW WE HAVE EPC APPROVAL, CORRECT.
5:30:18PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THAT'S WHAT I HEARD EARLIER.
5:30:23PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: A THOUGHT OCCURRED TO ME AND MAYBE NOT
5:30:26PM RELEVANT TO THE CASE, BUT THE CITY HAD TO INHERIT A COUPLE
5:30:32PM OF CEMETERIES IN THE LAST FIVE TO TEN YEARS.
5:30:34PM WHAT GUARANTEE DO WE HAVE, ON SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE TO
5:30:37PM HAVE A FUND TO PERPETUATE TO MAKE SURE THIS IS MAINTAINED
5:30:42PM FOR YEARS TO COME.
5:30:43PM >> I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.
5:30:44PM I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE CODE.
5:30:46PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I DON'T REMEMBER.
5:30:47PM I LEARNED THAT FROM JUST BEING HERE WITH THE COUNCIL MEMBERS
5:30:51PM LISTENING TO WHAT WE HAD TO DO TO MAKE SURE THE GOOD LORD
5:30:54PM TOOK CARE OF THE ONES BURIED.
5:30:57PM THAT CASE HAD TO BE THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF TAMPA.
5:31:00PM WHAT GUARANTEE DO WE HAVE THAT WON'T HAPPEN HERE?
5:31:05PM >> I CAN'T SPEAK TO WHAT THE CODE DOES OR DOES NOT REQUIRE.
5:31:09PM IN TERMS OF THE SITE PLAN, SEI, THE APPLICANT, IS A NATIONAL
5:31:13PM COMPANY THAT DOES THIS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND HAS NEVER
5:31:16PM HAD A PROBLEM IN TAMPA WITH MAINTENANCE OR UPKEEP OF ANY
5:31:19PM KIND.
5:31:20PM BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU, THEY WILL COMPLY WITH WHATEVER THEY
5:31:23PM ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH MOVING FORWARD.
5:31:35PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: QUESTION, MR. SINGER, THERE IS EUCLIDEAN
5:31:37PM ZONING THAT WOULD PERMIT THIS LAND USE.
5:31:39PM WHY ARE YOU COMING TO US WITH A PD AND NOT A ZONING REQUEST?
5:31:45PM >> I WISH I COULD COME WITH EUCLIDEAN REQUEST, BUT
5:31:47PM UNFORTUNATELY WE NEED THE WAIVER FOR THE LOCAL STREET AND
5:31:50PM THAT TAKES US INTO THIS PROCESS.
5:31:52PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THE ONLY THING STAFF --
5:31:54PM >> FOUR WAIVERS ON IT.
5:31:55PM ONLY ONE FOUND INCONSISTENT WAS THIS WAIVER.
5:31:57PM BUT WHEN YOU HAVE WAIVERS, YOU'VE GOT TO GO THROUGH THE PD
5:32:01PM PROCESS AS OPPOSED TO THE EUCLIDEAN PROCESS.
5:32:04PM EUCLIDEAN WE WOULD HAVE NO WAIVER REQUESTS AND THAT'S
5:32:07PM UNFORTUNATELY NOT POSSIBLE HERE.
5:32:08PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHY ISN'T IT POSSIBLE?
5:32:10PM >> BECAUSE WE NEED THAT EMERGENCY ACCESS TO 46th, ALONG
5:32:15PM WITH THE FOUR OTHER WAIVERS LISTED ON THE SITE PLAN WHICH
5:32:18PM ARE USING GREENSPACE, MORE THAN 30% GREENSPACE ON THE SITE
5:32:22PM BECAUSE OF THE CEMETERY USE, SO WE NEED THAT ALONG WITH THE
5:32:25PM OTHER THREE, WHICH ARE IN FRONT OF YOU.
5:32:32PM ONE IS THE INGRESS AND EGRESS ON THE NONRESIDENTIAL LOT FROM
5:32:38PM THE LOCAL ROAD.
5:32:39PM THAT'S 46th STREET.
5:32:40PM ONE IS THE LANDSCAPED AREA, MORE THAN 30%, AGAIN FOR
5:32:43PM CEMETERY USE.
5:32:44PM ONE IS THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER WITH THE SIX-FOOT MASONRY WALL.
5:32:48PM THE CODE REQUIRES A MASONRY WALL, WE'RE ASKING FOR WOOD
5:32:51PM FENCE SAME HEIGHT.
5:32:52PM THERE WAS NO OBJECTION TO THAT FROM EITHER THE STAFF OR THE
5:32:54PM RESIDENTS WHEN WE HAD OUR COMMUNITY MEETING.
5:32:56PM AND THEN REDUCING THAT WETLAND BUFFER AND BUILDING THE
5:33:00PM RETAINING WALL INSTEAD OF HAVING THE FULL 15-FOOT BUFFER.
5:33:04PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THE MASONRY WALL WOULD HAVE BEEN OR THE
5:33:07PM WOOD FENCE IS ALONG WHICH PERIMETER?
5:33:09PM >> THE WOOD FENCE IS ALONG THE REAR OF THE SITE AND REPLACES
5:33:12PM THE MASONRY WALL.
5:33:14PM SAME HEIGHT.
5:33:19PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OKAY.
5:33:19PM THANK YOU.
5:33:19PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
5:33:21PM >>BILL CARLSON: I HAD THE SAME QUESTION THAT COUNCILMAN
5:33:25PM MIRANDA HAD.
5:33:26PM COULD SOMEBODY IN LEGAL MAYBE ANSWER THE QUESTION?
5:33:29PM AS I RECALL, WITH ONE OF THE CEMETERIES THAT WAS THROWN BACK
5:33:36PM AT THE CITY, THE STATE HAS REQUIREMENTS OF TRUST.
5:33:42PM I DON'T WANT TO PRESENT EVIDENCE, BUT I THINK THE STATE HAS
5:33:44PM SOME REQUIREMENTS BUT THE MONEY WE GOT ONLY PAID FOR ONE
5:33:47PM YEAR OF MAINTENANCE.
5:33:48PM I WONDER IF THERE'S ANY -- WHAT OTHER CITY OR STATE LAWS
5:33:52PM REGARD THAT AND WHETHER WE'RE ABLE TO CONSIDER THAT IN THIS?
5:33:56PM WHAT RESTRICTIONS ARE THERE AROUND CONVERSION OF PROPERTY TO
5:34:00PM CEMETERIES AND WHAT PROTECTIONS ARE THERE FOR THE PUBLIC IN
5:34:03PM THE FUTURE?
5:34:05PM >> YES, SIR.
5:34:05PM THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.
5:34:07PM UNFORTUNATELY, I DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION.
5:34:10PM THIS PARTICULAR CEMETERY IS MY GRANDPARENTS ARE BURIED
5:34:14PM THERE.
5:34:14PM IT'S BEEN THERE FOR A VERY, VERY, VERY LONG TIME.
5:34:19PM IT'S ESTABLISHED.
5:34:20PM NORMALLY -- I WILL HAVE TO LOOK INTO THE ANSWER ON THAT ONE.
5:34:24PM I DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER.
5:34:27PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: I WOULD ALSO JUST BE CONCERNED WITH THE
5:34:30PM RELEVANCE OF THAT MATTER IN THIS MATTER OF A REZONING AND
5:34:37PM THE PARTICULAR USE IS REALLY NOT RELEVANT TO YOUR DECISION
5:34:40PM IN THIS CASE WITH REGARD TO THE CRITERIA THAT YOU HAVE TO
5:34:43PM LOOK AT AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS COMPATIBLE AND WITH
5:34:50PM REGARD SPECIFICALLY FOR THE DECISION THAT WAS MEDIATED
5:34:53PM BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE APPLICANT.
5:34:55PM SO I WOULD ASK COUNCIL IF YOU WISH TO HAVE THAT INFORMATION,
5:34:58PM CERTAINLY THAT'S RELEVANT FOR YOU FROM A PUBLIC POLICY
5:35:02PM STANDPOINT BUT NOT IN THE POSTURE THAT YOU ARE SITTING IN
5:35:05PM TONIGHT.
5:35:08PM >>BILL CARLSON: ARE THERE ANY SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS OR
5:35:11PM REQUIREMENTS OF THE CITY THAT WE HAVE TO CONSIDER WHEN
5:35:13PM CONVERTING LAND TO CEMETERY USE?
5:35:16PM >> THIS LAND IS ALREADY A CEMETERY USE.
5:35:19PM >>BILL CARLSON: ALL OF IT IS ALREADY.
5:35:20PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, THEY ARE MOVING
5:35:22PM THEIR PHYSICAL STRUCTURE OF THE FUNERAL HOME FROM ONE PART
5:35:25PM OF THE PROPERTY TO THE OTHER.
5:35:26PM THAT'S WHAT THIS MAGISTRATE'S RECOMMENDATION IS.
5:35:31PM COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
5:35:32PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR AND FOR
5:35:37PM COUNCIL.
5:35:38PM THE DISCUSSION HERE IS ABOUT THE MAGISTRATE'S DECISION AND
5:35:40PM THE COMPROMISE ON APPROVING A PD.
5:35:45PM REALLY WE HAVE TO GO BACK AS COUNCIL IT IS STILL OUR BURDEN
5:35:49PM TO REVIEW THE PD CRITERIA TO SEE IF BASED ON OUR ASSESSMENT
5:35:55PM IT FITS THE PD CRITERIA, CORRECT?
5:35:58PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: I WOULD SAY SO IN THE SENSE THAT THIS IS A
5:36:01PM DIFFERENT PLAN -- [MICROPHONE NOT ON]
5:36:07PM >> YES.
5:36:08PM AND YOU'RE CONSIDERING IT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE FLUEDRA.
5:36:11PM THE WHOLE PACKAGE, THE MEDIATION, THE FACT THAT WE WERE
5:36:15PM CHALLENGED AND THAT WE CAME FORTH WITH THIS.
5:36:18PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IF I HEAR YOU CORRECTLY, WHAT I'M HEARING
5:36:20PM IS THE FACT THAT IT WENT THROUGH THE FLUEDRA SHOULD WEIGH
5:36:23PM HEAVY ON OUR SOUL AS WE'RE EVALUATING THE CRITERIA ON
5:36:27PM WHETHER THIS FITS THE PD CRITERIA.
5:36:29PM >> WHETHER THIS FITS WHAT YOU WANTED US TO BRING YOU BACK IN
5:36:32PM DECEMBER.
5:36:33PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU.
5:36:36PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT
5:36:38PM WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 2?
5:36:49PM >> STEPHANIE POYNOR.
5:36:51PM MS. CROSBY COLLIER SAID YOU CAN AMEND THIS.
5:36:55PM I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE LOOK AGAIN AT MS. DOCK'S PICTURES OF
5:36:59PM 46th STREET AND THERE'S NO REASON WHY YOU CAN'T PUT A
5:37:02PM SIDEWALK THERE.
5:37:03PM YES, IT IS A LITTLE HILL, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, THE CITY JUST
5:37:07PM PUT A LITTLE HILL ON PRESCOTT DOWN THE STREET AND COST
5:37:11PM $33,000 FOR THE CITY TO PUT A SMALL PROPERTY, $29 A SQUARE
5:37:17PM FOOT.
5:37:18PM I'D GLADLY PAY YOU THE MONEY TO GET OUT FOR PAYING FOR IT.
5:37:23PM THE SECOND CONCERN, WOODEN FENCE.
5:37:26PM FIRST OF ALL, I THINK EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT A WOODEN FENCE
5:37:29PM LOOKS LIKE IN FIVE YEARS IN TAMPA.
5:37:30PM SECOND OF ALL, HOW CAN PEOPLE SEE WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE
5:37:34PM CEMETERY IF YOU HAVE A WOODEN FENCE.
5:37:35PM IF SOMEBODY COMES IN AND STARTS DESTROYING HEADSTONES, GRAVE
5:37:39PM MARKERS, ET CETERA, YOU CAN'T SEE THEM BECAUSE SOMEBODY HAS
5:37:42PM A WOODEN FENCE.
5:37:43PM THE CITY JUST SPENT A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
5:37:46PM PUTTING A NICE WROUGHT IRON FENCE AROUND THE CEMETERY.
5:37:50PM WHY DID THEY PUT WROUGHT IRON?
5:37:51PM BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT IT TO BE OPAQUE BECAUSE THEY DON'T
5:37:54PM WANT THE CEMETERY TO BE DAMAGED.
5:37:56PM THOSE TWO AMENDMENTS SHOULD CERTAINLY BE MADE TO THIS
5:38:00PM FLUEDRA ARRANGEMENT.
5:38:01PM THANK YOU.
5:38:01PM HAVE A GOOD DAY.
5:38:02PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
5:38:03PM NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
5:38:04PM >> HI.
5:38:05PM CARROLL ANN BENNETT.
5:38:06PM I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SIDEWALK, TOO.
5:38:08PM I AM STARTING TO DOCUMENT PROBLEMS WHERE BUILDERS ARE NOT
5:38:14PM PUTTING IN SIDEWALKS BECAUSE THERE IS A BARRIER, THERE IS AN
5:38:17PM OBSTACLE, THERE IS AN OBSTRUCTION AND THE REACH IS
5:38:20PM UNBELIEVABLE.
5:38:21PM I'VE SEEN 75-FOOT FRONTAGES THAT HAVE A BARRIER THAT'S 20
5:38:27PM INCHES LONG AND IT'S 20 FEET FROM THE ROAD.
5:38:31PM WE CAN'T PUT IN A SIDEWALK.
5:38:33PM THERE'S A BARRIER.
5:38:34PM LET US PAY $29 A LINEAR FOOT.
5:38:37PM THAT'S WHAT THEY DO BECAUSE THERE IS A FINANCIAL INCENTIVE,
5:38:39PM BECAUSE IT IS A LOT CHEAPER FOR THEM TO DO THAT THAN IT IS
5:38:42PM TO PUT IN A SIDEWALK.
5:38:43PM WE'VE GOT TO CHANGE THE FEE STRUCTURE AND TAKE AWAY THE
5:38:46PM FINANCIAL INCENTIVE TO PAY THE IN LIEU OF.
5:38:49PM VIK BHIDE, THE LAST I HEARD FROM HIM FOR THE CITY TO PUT IN
5:38:53PM THE SIDEWALK IT'S OVER A HUNDRED DOLLARS A LINEAR FOOT, WELL
5:38:56PM OVER A HUNDRED DOLLARS A LINEAR FOOT.
5:38:59PM WE NEED TO TAKE AWAY THIS FINANCIAL INCENTIVE.
5:39:02PM MAKE THEM PUT IN THE SIDEWALK.
5:39:03PM THANK YOU.
5:39:03PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
5:39:05PM IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 2?
5:39:08PM IF NOT, REBUTTAL, SIR.
5:39:10PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
5:39:12PM >> SINGER FOR THE APPLICANT.
5:39:14PM AGAIN, I WILL BE VERY BRIEF AND PUT UP THE SITE PLAN SO THAT
5:39:18PM YOU CAN SEE IT.
5:39:18PM TWO POINTS TO MAKE, FIRST IS WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE
5:39:22PM WOODEN FENCE OR THE MASONRY WALL, RIGHT HERE IS WHERE WE'RE
5:39:25PM TALKING ABOUT.
5:39:26PM THE RESIDENTS BEHIND IT WHO LIVE THERE WERE ACTUALLY THE
5:39:29PM ONES WHO REQUESTED THAT AS A BARRIER TO THE CEMETERY.
5:39:32PM AND WE COMPLIED.
5:39:33PM THE CODE REQUIRES US TO PUT IT IN.
5:39:36PM THEY ASKED FOR A WOODEN FENCE.
5:39:38PM WE'RE OKAY WITH IT.
5:39:39PM THE SIDEWALK ISSUE, THIS IS WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
5:39:42PM THIS IS 46th.
5:39:43PM THIS IS THE ROAD THROUGH THE CEMETERY HERE FOR PEOPLE,
5:39:48PM EITHER EMERGENCY VEHICLES OR PEOPLE TO COME IN AND VISIT.
5:39:51PM THE PARKING IS HERE.
5:39:54PM SO WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FLOW OF THE SITE, THAT'S WHY
5:39:57PM THIS ROAD IS HERE.
5:39:58PM THERE'S REALLY NO PARKING OR OPPORTUNITY TO NOT CREATE A
5:40:02PM DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR PEDESTRIANS HERE ON 46th.

5:44:45PM THIS IS FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3301 WEST IOWA AVENUE.
5:44:49PM THE APPLICANT IS REPRESENTED BY STEVE MICHELINI.
5:44:51PM THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM RS 60 RESIDENTIAL
5:44:55PM SINGLE-FAMILY TO RS 50 RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY.
5:44:58PM I'LL TURN IT OVER TO EMILY TO GIVE HER REPORT AND THEN I'LL
5:45:02PM COME BACK.
5:45:02PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
5:45:03PM GO AHEAD.
5:45:03PM >>EMILY PHELAN: EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
5:45:12PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE SOUTH TAMPA PLANNING
5:45:15PM DISTRICT IN THE INTERBAY SOUTH OF GANDY NEIGHBORHOOD.
5:45:17PM THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN A COASTAL PLANNING AREA,
5:45:20PM SPECIFICALLY EVACUATION ZONE B.
5:45:22PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED HERE AND IT'S SURROUNDED BY
5:45:26PM DETACHED SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES TO THE NORTH, SOUTH,
5:45:29PM EAST, AND WEST.
5:45:30PM THIS IS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
5:45:35PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS HERE.
5:45:36PM IT IS SURROUNDED BY THE RESIDENTIAL FUTURE LAND USE
5:45:40PM DESIGNATION.
5:45:41PM MOVING FURTHER EAST ALONG SOUTH MacDILL IS CMU 35 AND
5:45:45PM FURTHER NORTH IS THE RESIDENTIAL 20 WITH A MULTIFAMILY.
5:45:48PM THIS PORTION OF WEST IOWA AVENUE BETWEEN SOUTH SHERIDAN ROAD
5:45:52PM AND SOUTH SHERWOOD AVENUE IS DEVELOPED AT 5.26 DWELLING
5:45:57PM UNITS PER ACRE BASED ON 10 SAMPLE SITES.
5:46:00PM THIS AREA OF THE CITY CAN BE CONSIDERED UNDERDEVELOPED.
5:46:03PM THE REQUEST BEFORE US LAND USE POLICY 2.1.2 WHICH SEEKS TO
5:46:07PM USE LAND RESOURCES MORE EFFICIENTLY BY ENCOURAGING INFILL
5:46:10PM DEVELOPMENT ON UNDERUTILIZED SITES.
5:46:13PM PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF ANALYZED THE LOT WIDTHS ALONG WEST
5:46:16PM OF IOWA AVENUE.
5:46:17PM LOT WIDTHS RANGE FROM APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET TO 100 FEET.
5:46:21PM THE REQUEST WOULD ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD BE WITHIN
5:46:23PM THE EXISTING LOT CONFIGURATION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
5:46:26PM THIS REQUEST SUPPORTS MANY POLICIES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE
5:46:29PM PLAN AS IT RELATES TO HOUSING THE CITY'S POPULATION.
5:46:31PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ENCOURAGES NEW HOUSING ON VACANT AND
5:46:35PM UNDERUTILIZED LAND TO ENSURE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF HOUSING
5:46:38PM IS AVAILABLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF TAMPA'S PRESENT AND FUTURE
5:46:41PM POPULATIONS.
5:46:41PM THE REQUEST IS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPACT FORM
5:46:45PM STRATEGY, COMPACT CITY FORM STRATEGY WHICH ENCOURAGES INFILL
5:46:49PM DEVELOPMENT WITHIN PROXIMITY TO TRANSIT AND EMPLOYMENT
5:46:52PM SERVICES.
5:46:52PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS WITHIN THE COASTAL PLANNING AREA AND
5:46:55PM EVACUATION ZONE B AND AS SUCH, REZONINGS THAT INCREASE THE
5:46:58PM NUMBER OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS SHALL MITIGATE ANY IMPACTS ON
5:47:01PM SHELTER SPACE DEMANDS AND ENSURE ANY IMPACTS ON SHELTER
5:47:05PM SPACE DEMANDS ARE MITIGATED DURING THE SITE PLAN REVIEW
5:47:08PM PROCESS.
5:47:08PM IN CONCLUSION, THE REQUEST IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH
5:47:11PM THE SURROUNDING AREA.
5:47:12PM THE REQUEST SUPPORTS MANY POLICIES THAT SEEK TO MAINTAIN THE
5:47:16PM STABILITY OF EXISTING AREAS WHILE EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES
5:47:18PM FOR HOUSING CHOICES.
5:47:20PM THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LONG-RANGE DEVELOPMENT
5:47:22PM PATTERN ENCOURAGED UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL 10 FUTURE LAND USE
5:47:25PM DESIGNATION.
5:47:26PM AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION IF YOU HAVE ANY
5:47:29PM QUESTIONS.
5:47:29PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
5:47:30PM ANY QUESTIONS?
5:47:30PM I SEE NONE.
5:47:31PM YES, MA'AM, GO AHEAD.
5:47:32PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THANK YOU AGAIN, COUNCIL.
5:47:34PM LaCHONE DOCK, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
5:47:36PM COUNCIL, THIS REZONING REQUEST WOULD ALLOW THE CREATION OF
5:47:40PM TWO LOTS, SO THIS WOULD TAKE ONE LOT AND ALLOW IT TO BE
5:47:43PM SPLIT INTO TWO LOTS.
5:47:45PM THE SITE MEASURES APPROXIMATELY A HUNDRED FEET IN FRONTAGE
5:47:48PM WHICH IS ON WEST IOWA AVENUE AND 146 FEET IN DEPTH.
5:47:51PM EACH LOT WAS ORIGINALLY PLATTED AT 50 FEET IN WIDTH AND 139
5:47:56PM FEET IN DEPTH.
5:47:58PM THE ACTUAL ALLEY WHICH IS NORTH OF THE SITE WAS VACATED AND
5:48:02PM THAT'S WHERE THEY GAINED THE ADDITIONAL SEVEN FEET IN THE
5:48:06PM LENGTH ON THE SITE ITSELF.
5:48:07PM SO THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING RS 50 ZONING AND RS 50 ZONING
5:48:12PM YOU NEED A MINIMUM LOT WIDTH OF 50 FEET AND A MINIMUM LOT
5:48:16PM AREA OF 5,000 SQUARE FEET.
5:48:18PM THOSE STANDARDS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED WITHIN THE REPORT
5:48:23PM PROVIDED.
5:48:24PM THIS IS THE AERIAL OF THE SITE.
5:48:25PM THIS IS THE PROPERTY WHICH IS IDENTIFIED HERE IN RED.
5:48:30PM JUST TO ORIENT YOU ON THE MAP, SO THIS IS IOWA AVENUE.
5:48:34PM THIS IS WISCONSIN.
5:48:36PM THIS IS SHERIDAN ROAD.
5:48:45PM THIS IS THE SITE, WHICH IS LOCATED HERE, AND YOU CAN SEE IT
5:48:46PM HAS THE RS 60 ZONING, AND YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE RS 50
5:48:48PM ZONINGS THAT ARE LOCATED TO THE SOUTH.
5:48:49PM I'LL ALSO SHOW YOU THE CONFORMING MAP.
5:48:52PM MOST OF THE RESIDENTIAL USES WHICH ARE LOCATED HERE.
5:48:54PM THIS IS INTERBAY BOULEVARD WHICH IS LOCATED HERE TO THE
5:48:57PM SOUTH OF THE SITE.
5:48:59PM THIS IS THE CONFORMING MAP.
5:49:08PM I WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE THAT UP, PLEASE, WHILE I READ THE
5:49:12PM ANALYSIS, WHICH WAS PROVIDED WITHIN THE REPORT ALSO.
5:49:14PM ON PAGES 3 AND 4 OF THE STAFF REPORT CONTAIN THE ANALYSIS.
5:49:19PM THE AREA OF ANALYSIS INCLUDED 482 TOTAL ZONING LOTS.
5:49:26PM 248 OF THOSE LOTS OR 51% HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH A WIDTH OF
5:49:30PM 59.99 FEET OR LESS.
5:49:32PM 19 ARE DEVELOPED WITH A LOT WIDTH BETWEEN 55 FEET AND 59.99
5:49:40PM FEET.

5:49:47PM 9 LOTS ARE DEVELOPED IN THE RANGE OF 45 FEET TO 49 FEET.
5:49:52PM 3 LOTS ARE DEVELOPED AT THE RANGE OF 40 FEET TO 44 FEET.
5:49:56PM TWO LOTS ARE DEVELOPED AT 35 FEET TO 39 FEET AND 57 LOTS ARE
5:50:00PM DEVELOPED BETWEEN 0 TO 34 FEET.
5:50:03PM 234 LOTS, 48%, HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH A WIDTH OF 60 FEET
5:50:10PM OR GREATER, WITH 82 DEVELOPED AT 60 TO 64 FEET IN WIDTH AND
5:50:16PM 25 LOTS DEVELOPED IN THE RANGE OF 65 TO 69 FEET.
5:50:20PM 21 LOTS ARE DEVELOPED IN THAT RANGE OF 70 TO 74 FEET, AND 33
5:50:26PM LOTS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED AT THAT RANGE OF 75 TO 79 FEET.
5:50:30PM 36 LOTS ARE DEVELOPED AT 80 TO 99 FEET AND 37 LOTS ARE
5:50:35PM DEVELOPED AT A HUNDRED FEET OR GREATER.
5:50:40PM ON THE MAP, THE BLUE IDENTIFIES THE LOTS 50 TO 54.
5:50:45PM THE LIGHTER BLUE HAS THE RANGE OF THE 45 TO 49 FEET.
5:50:50PM WHEN YOU GET INTO YOUR RED, THE RED IS AT LEAST 80 FEET IN
5:50:55PM WIDTH.
5:50:55PM AND THEN THAT BURGUNDY MAROONISH COLOR IS HUNDRED FEET OR
5:51:00PM GREATER IN WIDTH.
5:51:01PM STAFF HAS IDENTIFIED THAT 86% OF THE LOTS IN THE SUBJECT
5:51:05PM BLOCK ARE DEVELOPED AT THAT WIDTH.
5:51:07PM LESS THAN 59.99 FEET AND 14% ARE DEVELOPED AT LOT WIDTHS OF
5:51:12PM 60 FEET OR GREATER.
5:51:14PM STAFF FINDS THE PROPOSED REQUEST TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE
5:51:18PM EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE OVERALL STUDY AREA.
5:51:22PM I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW YOU PHOTOS OF THE SITE AND THE
5:51:25PM SURROUNDING AREA.
5:51:29PM THIS IS THE SITE.
5:51:34PM ZOOM OUT TO SEE MORE.
5:51:37PM IT IS A PRETTY WIDE WIDTH BECAUSE CURRENTLY IT'S AT A
5:51:42PM HUNDRED FEET IN WIDTH.
5:51:43PM THIS IS THE SIDE OF THE SITE.
5:51:48PM SO THIS IS THE EAST END OF THE SITE ON SHERIDAN.
5:51:51PM THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW.
5:51:54PM THIS IS ACROSS THE STREET.
5:51:59PM THIS IS NORTH OF THE SITE.
5:52:00PM THIS IS WITHIN THE SAME BLOCK NORTH OF THE SITE.
5:52:07PM THIS IS ACROSS THE STREET.
5:52:08PM SO THIS IS THE VIEW IF YOU'RE LOOKING WEST ON IOWA.
5:52:13PM AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES WHICH ARE
5:52:15PM LOCATED HERE AND HERE AND THEN I HAVE A COUPLE OF PICTURES
5:52:19PM OF THOSE.
5:52:21PM AND THEN THIS IS DIRECTLY WEST OF THE SITE.
5:52:23PM SO THIS IS DIRECTLY ADJACENT THE SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.
5:52:27PM DRC STAFF REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FINDS THE REQUEST
5:52:34PM CONSISTENT.
5:52:35PM THIS CONCLUDES MY REPORT.
5:52:36PM I'M AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
5:52:40PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
5:52:41PM NO.
5:52:42PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
5:52:43PM THANK YOU.
5:52:43PM APPLICANT.
5:52:48PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
5:52:50PM STEVE MICHELINI, REPRESENTING THE PETITIONER.
5:52:53PM I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
5:52:54PM THIS PROPOSAL BY RIGHT TO BUILD TWO STRUCTURES, IF THEY FACE
5:53:02PM THE SIDE STREET, IF THEY SPACE SHERIDAN BECAUSE 147 FEET IN
5:53:08PM DEPTH.
5:53:08PM BUT TO BE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT THE OTHER -- THE NEIGHBORHOOD
5:53:12PM HAS DEVELOPED AND THE HOUSES ALL FACE IOWA.
5:53:15PM AND THAT BRINGS US TO YOU TO REQUEST A REZONING TO ALLOW
5:53:19PM THAT TO HAPPEN.
5:53:21PM AS THE STAFF HAS POINTED OUT, THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IS
5:53:27PM CONSISTENT, 86% IS IN THIS DIRECTION.
5:53:31PM IT'S RESIDENTIAL 10 WHICH ALLOWS FOR CONSIDERATION OF THE RS
5:53:36PM 50 REQUEST.
5:53:38PM THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ENTIRE AREA.
5:53:42PM I DID INTERVIEW WITH A FEW OF THE NEIGHBORS AND THEY WERE
5:53:46PM VERY HAPPY TO SEE THIS OLDER HOME GO AWAY AND THE NEW HOMES
5:53:52PM BE BUILT.
5:53:52PM THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE REQUEST, AT LEAST NONE
5:53:56PM WAS COMMUNICATED TO ME AT THE TIME.
5:53:58PM THE STAFF HAS POINTED OUT THAT THIS IS UNDERUTILIZED AREA.
5:54:05PM THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS POINTED OUT TO YOU THAT THEY
5:54:08PM SUPPORTED IT AND WE WERE CONSISTENT WITH ALL OF THE CITY
5:54:10PM REVIEWS.
5:54:12PM WHEN WE WENT TO THE FINAL CONCLUSION OF THE PLANNING
5:54:17PM COMMISSION, THE REQUEST IS COMPATIBLE AND IT'S COMPARABLE
5:54:22PM WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA.
5:54:24PM THE REQUEST SUPPORTS THE POLICIES THAT SEEK TO MAINTAIN THE
5:54:27PM STABILITY OF EXISTING AREAS.
5:54:28PM WHILE EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR HOUSING CHOICES AND
5:54:31PM SINGLE-FAMILY AREAS, LAND USE POLICIES 9.5.1, 9.5.2, 9.5.3,
5:54:38PM 9.5.4, AND FURTHERMORE THAT THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH
5:54:42PM THE LONG-RANGE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ENCOURAGED IN THIS
5:54:44PM RESIDENTIAL AREA.
5:54:45PM ANY MITIGATION THAT'S REQUIRED, THIS IS EUCLIDEAN ZONING SO
5:54:52PM WE CANNOT BE ASKING FOR WAIVERS ON SETBACKS OR ANYTHING LIKE
5:54:54PM THAT.
5:54:55PM SO WE HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THAT.
5:54:57PM AND WE WILL BE DOING THAT.
5:55:00PM ANY MITIGATION THAT'S REQUIRED WILL BE COMPLYING WITH THE
5:55:03PM CITY STAFF AND THE PERMITTING PROCESS.
5:55:05PM I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
5:55:09PM STAFF HAS FOUND IT CONSISTENT IN EVERY DEPARTMENT AND WE
5:55:13PM HAVE BEEN FOUND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS
5:55:16PM WELL.
5:55:16PM AGAIN, THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IS CONSISTENT AND THE PURPOSE
5:55:20PM OF THIS REZONING IS TO ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HOUSES
5:55:24PM TO FACE IOWA INSTEAD OF SHERIDAN.
5:55:26PM I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
5:55:28PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
5:55:29PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU, MR. MICHELINI, FOR BRINGING US
5:55:33PM A EUCLIDEAN ZONING REQUEST THAT FITS IN THE CHARACTER AND
5:55:35PM THE SCALE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
5:55:37PM THANK YOU.
5:55:37PM APPRECIATE IT.
5:55:38PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE?
5:55:38PM IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM
5:55:42PM NUMBER 5?
5:55:43PM PLEASE COME UP AND STATE YOUR NAME.
5:55:47PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
5:55:51PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
5:55:52PM MY NAME IS NATHAN HAGAN.
5:55:55PM OF COURSE, I DON'T OBJECT TO THIS, BUT I THINK IT'S WORTH
5:55:58PM MENTIONING THIS IS A LOT SPLIT.
5:56:01PM SOME LOT SPLITS ARE CONTROVERSIAL, SOME ARE NOT.
5:56:03PM I WANT TO CALL OUT I THINK THE 2019 EQUITY NONDISCRIMINATION
5:56:06PM PLAN BY THE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE
5:56:10PM DOCUMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, WHICH DEMONSTRATE THAT
5:56:14PM TAMPA'S HISTORY IN PARTICULAR OUR ADOPTION ORIGINALLY OF OUR
5:56:18PM FIRST EUCLIDEAN ZONING PLAN INCLUDED THE USE OF MINIMUM LOT
5:56:23PM SIZE AND RESTRICTIONS ON LOT SPLITS AS A MECHANISM TO
5:56:27PM ECONOMICALLY SEGREGATE THE CITY OF TAMPA.
5:56:29PM SO I WOULD ASK YOU TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION FOR THIS
5:56:32PM ITEM BUT ALSO FOR FUTURE ITEMS ABOUT LOT SPLITS IN GENERAL
5:56:37PM AND MINIMUM LOT SIZE.
5:56:40PM AND THEN AS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
5:56:42PM COME UP, I WOULD ASK YOU TO REDUCE OUR MINIMUM LOT SIZE
5:56:44PM CITYWIDE.
5:56:45PM YOU ALSO MIGHT CONSIDER ADOPTING A PROCESS WITH A ZONING
5:56:50PM HEARING MASTER TO AVOID HAVING TO HEAR BY RIGHT REZONINGS
5:56:56PM LIKE THIS WHICH REALLY SHOULD NOT BE CONTROVERSIAL OR
5:56:59PM POLITICIZED.
5:57:00PM THOSE ARE MY THOUGHTS.
5:57:01PM THANK YOU.
5:57:02PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
5:57:03PM ANYBODY ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 5?
5:57:05PM I SEE NO ONE.
5:57:07PM SIR, DO YOU NEED ANY REBUTTAL?
5:57:09PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: NO, SIR.
5:57:10PM I WOULD JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THIS FAR EXCEEDS THE
5:57:12PM 5,000 SQUARE FEET THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED UNDER THE RS 50
5:57:16PM ZONING DISTRICT.
5:57:17PM AGAIN, BY RIGHT YOU COULD BUILD TWO HOUSES FACING THE OTHER
5:57:21PM STREET, BUT THEY WANT THEM TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE
5:57:23PM DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE HOUSES THAT ARE ALREADY EXISTING.
5:57:26PM THANK YOU.
5:57:26PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
5:57:27PM MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE?
5:57:29PM MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA.

5:59:09PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
5:59:10PM ITEM NUMBER 6.
5:59:12PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: SAM THOMAS, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
5:59:13PM AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 6 IS REZ-23-66, A REQUEST TO REZONE 4904
5:59:19PM WEST PAUL AVENUE AND FOLIO NUMBER 131,914.0000 FROM
5:59:24PM COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL
5:59:27PM SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED.
5:59:28PM I'LL TURN IT OVER TO EMILY WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
5:59:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
5:59:33PM YES, MA'AM.
5:59:37PM >>EMILY PHELAN: EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
5:59:39PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE SOUTH TAMPA PLANNING
5:59:42PM DISTRICT IN THE GANDY SUN BAY SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD.
5:59:45PM IT IS WITHIN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA IN EVACUATION ZONE
5:59:48PM A.
5:59:49PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS HERE AND THE SURROUNDING AREA IS
5:59:52PM PREDOMINANTLY RESIDENTIAL IN CHARACTER WITH MULTIFAMILY TO
5:59:55PM THE EAST -- EXCUSE ME, TO THE WEST AND ALSO TO THE NORTH.
6:00:00PM AND TO THE EAST AND SOUTH ARE COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE PARCELS.
6:00:05PM THEY ARE ZONED THAT WAY BUT NOT CURRENTLY DEVELOPED.
6:00:07PM THIS IS A MAP OF THE FUTURE LAND USE.
6:00:12PM IT IS SURROUNDED BY THE URBAN MIXED USE 60 DESIGNATION AND
6:00:16PM FURTHER TO THE EAST WITH THE PINK IS COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35.
6:00:21PM THE UMU 60 DESIGNATION SUPPORTS A MIXTURE OF USES AND UP TO
6:00:28PM A 3.25 F.A.R. OR 60 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.
6:00:32PM THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PROPOSES TEN UNITS AND 19 DWELLING
6:00:37PM UNITS PER ACRE WHICH IS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN THE DENSITY
6:00:41PM PLANNED FOR IN THE AREA BUT CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY
6:00:43PM ANTICIPATED UNDER THE URBAN MIXED USE 60 DESIGNATION.
6:00:46PM DUE TO THE SITE INTERFACING TOWNHOMES TO THE NORTH AND EAST,
6:00:49PM PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FINDS THE REQUEST COMPARABLE AND
6:00:51PM COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA.
6:00:54PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS WITHIN A MIXED USE CORRIDOR AND THOUGH
6:00:58PM THE SITE IS SUBJECT TO THE MIXED USE CENTERS AND CORRIDOR
6:01:01PM POLICIES PROVIDED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, SPECIFIC SITE
6:01:04PM CHALLENGES MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO ADDRESS THESE POLICIES.
6:01:07PM THERE IS AN EXISTING STORMWATER DITCH THAT RUNS ALONG THE
6:01:10PM RIGHT-OF-WAY ALONG WEST PAUL AVENUE.
6:01:11PM THE DITCH WOULD MAKE IT IMPRACTICAL TO PROVIDE SIDEWALKS
6:01:15PM ADJACENT TO THE SITE ALONG WEST PAUL AVENUE.
6:01:17PM THE APPLICANT IS ELECTING TO PAY THE FEE IN LIEU AT TIME OF
6:01:21PM PERMITTING PER TRANSPORTATION NOTE NUMBER 3.
6:01:23PM SINCE THE SIDEWALK IS NOT PROPOSED ALONG WEST PAUL AVENUE,
6:01:26PM THE APPLICANT IS NOT ABLE TO ADDRESS ALL MIXED USE CENTERS
6:01:29PM AND CORRIDOR POLICIES SUCH AS PROVIDING PEDESTRIAN
6:01:31PM CONNECTIONS FROM INTERNAL UNITS TO A NEIGHBORHOOD SIDEWALK
6:01:35PM AND STREETS.
6:01:36PM THE PROPOSED PD ORIENTS UNITS 1 THROUGH 5 TOWARDS WEST PAUL
6:01:40PM AVENUE AND PROVIDES AN INTERNAL PATHWAY ALONG THE SOUTHERN
6:01:44PM PORTION OF THE SITE TO UNITS 6 THROUGH 10.
6:01:46PM THE REQUEST SUPPORTS MANY POLICIES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
6:01:49PM AS IT RELATES TO HOUSING THE CITY'S POPULATION.
6:01:52PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ENCOURAGES NEW HOUSING ON VACANT AND
6:01:55PM UNDERUTILIZED LAND TO ENSURE AN ADEQUATE HOUSING SUPPLY IS
6:01:59PM AVAILABLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF TAMPA'S PRESENT AND FUTURE
6:02:02PM POPULATIONS.
6:02:02PM THE REQUEST IS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPACT CITY FORM
6:02:06PM STRATEGY WHICH ENCOURAGES INFILL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN
6:02:08PM PROXIMITY TO TRANSIT AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES.
6:02:11PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS WITHIN THE EVACUATION ZONE A AS STATED
6:02:14PM EARLIER.
6:02:15PM AS SUCH, REZONINGS THAT INCREASE THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTIAL
6:02:18PM UNITS SHALL MITIGATE ANY IMPACTS ON SHELTER SPACE DEMANDS
6:02:22PM AND ENSURE ANY IMPACTS ON SHELTER SPACE DEMANDS ARE
6:02:25PM MITIGATED DURING THE SITE PLAN REVIEW PROCESS.
6:02:27PM OVERALL, REQUEST THE IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE
6:02:30PM SURROUNDING AREA AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LONG-RANGE
6:02:32PM DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ANTICIPATED UNDER THE URBAN MIXED USE 60
6:02:36PM DESIGNATION.
6:02:37PM THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
6:02:39PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
6:02:41PM NO.
6:02:42PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
6:02:42PM YES, SIR.
6:02:49PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: SAM THOMAS, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
6:02:50PM I'LL START OUT WITH AN AERIAL MAP OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND
6:02:54PM THE SURROUNDING AREA.
6:02:55PM YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT SITE RIGHT HERE IN RED OFF OF WEST
6:03:00PM PAUL AVENUE DIRECTLY NORTH OF THE SITE YOU HAVE COMMERCIAL
6:03:04PM INTENSIVE LOT AND THEN TO THE EAST OF THE LOT -- EAST OF THE
6:03:06PM SITE, COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE LOT USED FOR OPEN STORAGE.
6:03:09PM AS YOU MOVE NORTHEAST, YOU HAVE SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED USES.
6:03:14PM FARTHER NORTH YOU HAVE MULTIFAMILY AND OFFICE.
6:03:17PM YOU HAVE GANDY BOULEVARD HERE AND THEN SOUTH WEST SHORE
6:03:19PM BOULEVARD HERE.
6:03:21PM AS YOU MOVE EAST, MORE COMMERCIAL USES AND MULTIFAMILY ALONG
6:03:25PM SOUTH WEST SHORE BOULEVARD.
6:03:26PM FURTHER EAST, TRANSITIONS INTO A SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED
6:03:29PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
6:03:30PM AS YOU MOVE TO THE WEST TOWARDS THE BAY, YOU HAVE A PDA,
6:03:34PM WHICH IS THE WESTSHORE MARINA DEVELOPMENT THAT SOME OF YOU
6:03:36PM MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH.
6:03:38PM COMPRISES -- COMPRISES MULTIFAMILY, SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED
6:03:42PM AND COMMERCIAL USES.
6:03:43PM AS YOU MOVE FURTHER SOUTH YOU CAN SEE MORE OF THOSE
6:03:46PM MULTIFAMILY USES THERE.
6:03:47PM HERE IS THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.
6:03:55PM AS EMILY NOTED, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TEN UNITS, WHICH
6:04:01PM IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN THE AMOUNT OF UNITS THAT CAN BE
6:04:04PM CONSIDERED ON THE SUBJECT SITE.
6:04:06PM UNITS ONE THROUGH FIVE ARE ORIENTED TOWARD WEST PAUL AVENUE
6:04:09PM AND UNITS 6 THROUGH 10 ARE INTERNALLY ORIENTED.
6:04:14PM AS EMILY NOTED I WON'T GET INTO TOO MUCH OF IT, BUT IT WAS
6:04:18PM FOUND SIDEWALKS POSSIBLY IMPRACTICAL HERE DUE TO THE DEEP
6:04:21PM STORMWATER DITCHES THAT SURROUND THE PROPERTY.
6:04:24PM WHEN I SHOW PICTURES, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE HOW DEEP OF A
6:04:27PM GRADE CHANGE IT IS IN THAT AREA.
6:04:29PM THERE ARE GOING TO BE 23 PARKING SPACES REQUIRED AND 23 ARE
6:04:35PM PROVIDED.
6:04:36PM DO HAVE THREE SURFACE PARKING LOTS FOR GUESTS OR PARKING
6:04:39PM SPOTS FOR GUESTS AND THEN THE REST OF THE PARKING IS LOCATED
6:04:42PM IN GARAGES.
6:04:43PM THE MAX PROPOSED BUILDING HEIGHT OF THE PARCEL IS 40 FEET.
6:04:47PM HERE ARE THE ELEVATIONS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.
6:04:53PM THIS IS THE TOWNHOMES ON THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE LOT AND
6:05:01PM THESE ARE THE ELEVATIONS FOR THE TOWNHOMES ON THE SOUTHERN
6:05:04PM PORTION OF THE LOT.
6:05:05PM SO THIS IS ON WEST PAUL AVENUE.
6:05:12PM THIS IS WHERE THE STREETS STARTS TO CURVE.
6:05:15PM SUBJECT SITE IS RIGHT HERE.
6:05:17PM YOU CAN KIND OF SEE SOME OF THAT DITCH THERE ALONG WEST
6:05:20PM PAUL.
6:05:20PM HERE ARE SOME OF THOSE TOWNHOMES I MENTIONED EARLIER THAT
6:05:23PM ARE TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
6:05:25PM AND THEN THE COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE LOT RIGHT THERE.
6:05:29PM YOU CAN KIND OF SEE IN THE DISTANCE TOWNHOMES PART OF THE
6:05:32PM WESTSHORE MARINA DISTRICT.
6:05:33PM I'VE GOT IT ALL ZOOMED IN.
6:05:36PM I'M SORRY.
6:05:37PM THANK YOU, LaCHONE.
6:05:38PM SO THIS IS TO THE EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
6:05:44PM THAT IS COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE LOT THAT I POINTED OUT ON THE
6:05:46PM AERIAL.
6:05:47PM CURRENTLY USED FOR OPEN STORAGE.
6:05:49PM THIS IS MOVING WEST DOWN PAUL AVENUE.
6:05:53PM THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE LOOKING SOUTH.
6:05:56PM THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH AT THE SUBJECT SITE HERE.
6:06:01PM AND THIS IS LOOKING WEST.
6:06:07PM THIS IS THE WESTSHORE MARINA AREA WITH THE SINGLE-FAMILY
6:06:11PM ATTACHED.
6:06:11PM YOU CAN KIND OF SEE SOME OF THE GRADE CHANGE HERE STARTING
6:06:14PM ALONG PAUL AVENUE AND HOW IT DIPS DOWN.
6:06:17PM NOW YOU CAN REALLY SEE HOW MUCH IT DIPS DOWN, HOW THE
6:06:22PM BUILDING HAS SUNKEN BELOW THE CURB AND YOU HAVE THE
6:06:25PM GUARDRAIL HERE AND YOU CAN SEE THE ELEVATION CHANGE RIGHT
6:06:27PM HERE, HOW IT DROPS OFF.
6:06:29PM AND THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH.
6:06:31PM YOU CAN SEE MORE OF THE MULTIFAMILY IN THE DISTANCE.
6:06:33PM THIS ONE I THINK KIND OF WEST SHOWS THE GRADE CHANGE.
6:06:39PM WHEN STANDING THERE, THE ROOF ALMOST LOOKS LEVEL WITH THE
6:06:41PM ROAD.
6:06:42PM YOU CAN SEE THE TREES ARE SUNKEN DOWN WITH THE SIGN.
6:06:45PM I THINK THAT SHOWS HOW BIG OF A GRADE CHANGE IT IS AND WHY
6:06:48PM IT SEEMED UNFEASIBLE TO PROVIDE SIDEWALKS ALONG PAUL AVENUE.
6:06:52PM THIS IS MOVING ALONG THE CURVE.
6:06:56PM THIS IS THE VACANT SITE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE HEAVILY
6:06:59PM WOODED BUT ZONED FOR COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE USES.
6:07:02PM SOME OF THEM MULTIFAMILY IN THE DISTANCE.
6:07:04PM THIS VACANT LAND HERE IS ALSO ZONED COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE.
6:07:07PM I BELIEVE CURRENTLY USED FOR A DOG DAY CARE.
6:07:10PM THOSE ARE ALL THE PHOTOS.
6:07:12PM HERE IS THE SITE PLAN AGAIN.
6:07:17PM AND THEN EMILY DID MENTION THAT THEY DO HAVE SOME PEDESTRIAN
6:07:23PM CONNECTIONS.
6:07:24PM YOU CAN SEE THOSE HERE.
6:07:27PM THE PEOPLE WHO OCCUPY THE UNITS COULD AT LEAST FOLLOW THIS
6:07:30PM TO THE DRIVE AISLE AND GET CONNECTED TO PAUL AVENUE SINCE
6:07:33PM THERE COULDN'T BE SIDEWALKS PROVIDED ALONG PAUL AVENUE DUE
6:07:36PM TO THE STORMWATER DITCHES.
6:07:37PM DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION AND COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE
6:07:40PM APPLICATION AND DO FIND THE REQUEST TO BE INCONSISTENT WITH
6:07:43PM THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
6:07:44PM PLEASE SEE THE FINDINGS FROM NATURAL RESOURCES RELATED TO
6:07:47PM THE BUFFER WAIVER REQUESTED.
6:07:48PM NOTWITHSTANDING STAFF'S FINDING OF INCONSISTENCY, IF COUNCIL
6:07:53PM APPROVES THE APPLICATION, THE MODIFICATIONS MUST BE
6:07:56PM COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
6:07:58PM THE REVISIONS WILL NOT RESOLVE STAFF'S FINDING OF
6:08:03PM INCONSISTENCY.
6:08:03PM I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS.
6:08:04PM >>LYNN HURTAK: ACTUALLY, I HAVE QUESTIONS FOR NATURAL
6:08:07PM RESOURCES.
6:08:08PM CAN YOU SPEAK TO YOUR OBJECTIONS?
6:08:19PM >> ERIN MAEHR, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
6:08:21PM THE REASON I OBJECTED, BECAUSE THE USES TO THE EAST AND TO
6:08:24PM THE SOUTH ARE ACTUALLY COMMERCIAL USES.
6:08:27PM BY CODE THEY ARE REQUIRED A 15-FOOT USE TO USE LANDSCAPE
6:08:32PM BUFFER WITH SIX FOOT MASONRY WALL.
6:08:34PM THEY ARE PROVIDING I BELIEVE A FENCE.
6:08:35PM THEY ARE PROVIDING 3-FOOT TO THE EAST AND 4-FOOT TO THE
6:08:39PM SOUTH LANDSCAPE BUFFER.
6:08:40PM THE OTHER OBJECTION IS THE AMOUNT OF TREES REQUIRED TO HAVE
6:08:51PM ON-SITE CAN'T FIT ON-SITE.
6:08:53PM THAT'S WHY I FOUND IT INCONSISTENT.
6:08:57PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
6:08:57PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
6:08:58PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I KEEP HEARING ABOUT IMPRACTICAL AND THEY
6:09:04PM CAN'T DO IT.
6:09:05PM BUT ISN'T IT TRUE THAT IT'S ONLY IMPRACTICAL OR BECAUSE OF
6:09:10PM WHAT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS ON THIS PROPERTY, IT'S
6:09:13PM POSSIBLE TO DEVELOP THIS PROPERTY AND STILL BE ABLE TO FIT
6:09:17PM WITHIN THE CODE AND MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS, I.E., SIDEWALK
6:09:21PM AND BUFFERS AND FORWARD-FACING DOORS.
6:09:27PM IT'S JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING TO SQUEEZE AN AWFUL LOT OF
6:09:30PM UNITS ON A REALLY TINY PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT MAKES THIS
6:09:33PM IMPRACTICAL.
6:09:33PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: FROM MY UNDERSTANDING FROM TRANSPORTATION
6:09:36PM AND STORMWATER IS THAT THE SIDEWALK, SIDEWALKS WERE
6:09:40PM IMPRACTICAL BECAUSE OF THE STORMWATER AREA.
6:09:43PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THEY COULD HAVE FURTHER SETBACK AND HAVE
6:09:45PM MORE ROOM IF THE BUILDINGS WEREN'T PROPOSED TO BE RIGHT UP
6:09:48PM AGAINST THE FURTHEST EXTREME, CORRECT?
6:09:51PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: CORRECT.
6:09:52PM I WOULD SAY, THOUGH, AS A STAFF MEMBER REVIEWING THAT, I
6:09:57PM WOULD HAVE ENCOURAGED THE APPLICANT TO MOVE THE BUILDINGS
6:10:00PM CLOSER TO THE STREET TO PROVIDE THAT MORE URBAN FEEL.
6:10:04PM YOU'RE KIND OF STUCK BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE.
6:10:06PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IT'S NOT AN URBAN FEEL WITHOUT SIDEWALKS.
6:10:10PM THE OTHER ADJACENT TOWNHOMES YOU IDENTIFIED, THEY HAD STREET
6:10:16PM FORWARD FACING DOORS AND STREET EGRESS.
6:10:21PM >> YES, SIR.
6:10:21PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT IS THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD,
6:10:23PM THE CITYSCAPE.
6:10:25PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: I WILL SAY THAT NOT ALL OF THEM ARE FACING
6:10:30PM THE EXTERIOR.
6:10:32PM THE ONES I SHOWED YOU THE PICTURE OF WOULD BE THESE ONES
6:10:36PM HERE.
6:10:36PM THE FRONT ONES FACE THE SIDEWALK AND HAVE EXTERIOR DOORS,
6:10:40PM SAME HERE.
6:10:41PM BUT SOME ARE INTERIOR, AT LEAST ON THIS DEVELOPMENT HERE.
6:10:44PM BUT IT APPEARS FROM THIS ONE TO THE WEST THAT ALMOST ALL OF
6:10:46PM THEM DO FACE EXTERIOR EXCEPT FOR PROBABLY WITH THE EXCEPTION
6:10:50PM OF THIS ONE HERE.
6:10:56PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IT LOOKS TO ME THAT WE'RE TRYING TO
6:10:59PM SQUEEZE TOO MUCH ON TO TOO LITTLE.
6:11:01PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NEXT.
6:11:03PM WE'LL GO TO THE APPLICANT.
6:11:04PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: GOOD EVENING.
6:11:05PM STEVE MICHELINI.
6:11:07PM I'VE BEEN SWORN.
6:11:08PM I'M REPRESENTING THE PETITIONER.
6:11:09PM LET'S START WITH THE LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR SQUEEZING
6:11:15PM PROPERTIES INTO A SMALLER SPACE.
6:11:17PM THIS IS A FAIRLY LARGE SITE, AND THE LAND USE DESIGNATION IS
6:11:22PM URBAN MIXED USE 60, AND WE'RE DEVELOPING AT LESS THAN A
6:11:28PM THIRD OF THAT.
6:11:28PM WE'RE ASKING FOR TEN UNITS WHEN YOU COULD, BY RIGHT, BUILD
6:11:33PM 22 UNITS.
6:11:34PM SO A COUPLE OF THE THINGS THAT WE LISTENED TO WHEN THE
6:11:38PM COUNCIL HAD THIS DISCUSSION BACK IN DECEMBER REGARDING HOW
6:11:41PM CAN YOU MITIGATE REGARDING INTERNALLY FACING UNITS AND HOW
6:11:46PM DO YOU DEAL WITH THAT.
6:11:47PM I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH A LITTLE CHECKLIST OF THINGS THAT WE
6:11:52PM ADDRESSED, THAT COUNCIL SPECIFICALLY TALKED ABOUT.
6:11:57PM YOU TALKED ABOUT REDUCING DENSITY.
6:12:04PM YOU TALKED ABOUT NOT OVERBUILDING.
6:12:05PM YOU TALKED ABOUT FACING THE STREETS.
6:12:09PM ALL OF THESE UNITS HAVE DOORWAYS THAT FACE THE STREET.
6:12:12PM THE ONLY ONES THAT DON'T IS THE SECOND BUILDING IN THE BACK.
6:12:16PM LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.
6:12:19PM THIS IS THE EXISTING -- THIS IS THE EXISTING SITE.
6:12:32PM IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED C.I., WHICH IS COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE,
6:12:36PM WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR A FAR MORE INTENSIVE TYPE OF
6:12:39PM DEVELOPMENT.
6:12:39PM IT HAS A 3.25 F.A.R. WHICH WOULD ALLOW POTENTIALLY YOU COULD
6:12:45PM HAVE A HIGH-RISE BUILDING THERE, BUT THAT'S NOT COMPATIBLE
6:12:49PM WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN HERE.
6:12:50PM THESE ARE TOWN HOUSES AND THREE STORIES.
6:12:53PM I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU WHAT THE FRONTS OF THESE LOOK LIKE
6:12:56PM FACING THE STREET.
6:12:58PM YOU ALSO ASKED FOR THE DRIVE AISLES TO BE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN
6:13:02PM 23 AND 25 FEET IN WIDTH.
6:13:05PM THE DRIVE AISLES THAT WE'RE PROPOSING ARE 24 FEET IN WIDTH.
6:13:09PM WE COULDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF THE DITCH.
6:13:13PM YOU WOULD HAVE TO PETITION FOR THE CITY TO GIVE YOU AN
6:13:16PM EASEMENT ACROSS THE DITCH AND THEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE
6:13:19PM SOME KIND OF A CONNECTION AROUND THIS CORNER, WHICH IS
6:13:24PM EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
6:13:24PM SO WE DIDN'T WANT TO PUT PEDESTRIANS IN THAT SECTION.
6:13:30PM THIS IS A CLOSE-UP VIEW OF WHAT'S THERE.
6:13:34PM IT'S AN EXISTING WAREHOUSE THAT WILL BE DEMOLISHED.
6:13:37PM WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH GREENSPACE.
6:13:40PM TYPICALLY IF YOU WERE TO DEVELOP ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT HERE
6:13:44PM WITH THE C.I. ZONING, YOU WOULDN'T BE REQUIRED TO HAVE THE
6:13:47PM BUFFER AT ALL.
6:13:48PM SO WE'RE SEEKING RELIEF FROM THE BUFFER SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S
6:13:56PM A RESIDENTIAL PROJECT INSTEAD OF A COMMERCIAL PROJECT.
6:14:00PM THIS IS THE VIEW LOOKING DOWN TO THE EAST, AND YOU SEE ON
6:14:06PM THEIR SIDE, THEY DON'T HAVE A FOUR-FOOT-WIDE DITCH THAT THEY
6:14:10PM ARE DEALING WITH.
6:14:11PM SORRY, FOUR-FOOT DEEP DITCH.
6:14:15PM THIS IS THE STRUCTURE THAT'S TO BE DEMOLISHED.
6:14:20PM THIS IS WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO.
6:14:24PM YOU SEE THEY HAVE THE DITCH HERE, AND THEN THEY HAVE THE
6:14:28PM SIDEWALK BEHIND, AND THAT SIDEWALK COLLECTS THE FRONT DOORS
6:14:33PM OF EACH OF THOSE UNITS AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE
6:14:35PM PROPOSING TO DO.
6:14:37PM SO WE'RE NOT IGNORING THAT ELEMENT OF THE CODE.
6:14:42PM WE'RE SIMPLY MAKING IT WORK SO WE DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH
6:14:47PM THE DEPTH OF THE DITCH AND TAKING AWAY FROM THIS VERY
6:14:51PM DANGEROUS CORNER DOWN HERE.
6:14:53PM THIS IS WHAT IS DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET.
6:14:55PM THOSE ARE THREE-STORY TOWN HOUSES.
6:14:58PM THEY HAVE DONE -- THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE DITCH.
6:15:01PM THE DITCH IS ON OUR SIDE.
6:15:02PM SO THE CONNECTIVITY FOR THESE UNITS IS IN THE FRONT AND THEN
6:15:07PM THE ONES, THE DEVELOPMENT BEHIND THEM, THOSE UNITS DON'T
6:15:12PM HAVE FRONT CONNECTIONS.
6:15:15PM WE TALKED ABOUT THE MINIMIZATION OF THE DENSITY.
6:15:21PM YOU'RE ALLOWED TO GO 60 UNITS TO THE ACRE.
6:15:24PM WE HAVE LESS THAN THAT.
6:15:26PM THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF POINTED THAT OUT.
6:15:28PM WE DON'T HAVE BLANK WALLS.
6:15:31PM WE HAVE FENESTRATION.
6:15:32PM WE HAVE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES IN THE FRONT.
6:15:35PM THIS IS THE SITE PLAN AND IT CLEARLY SHOWS YOU THE DOORWAYS
6:15:52PM ON EACH OF THE FRONT WITH A COLLECTION SIDEWALK THERE BEHIND
6:15:56PM THE DITCH.
6:15:58PM THE END UNITS HERE FACE THE OTHER PART OF PAUL THAT TURNS
6:16:04PM AROUND.
6:16:05PM THE UNITS THAT DON'T HAVE IT, THAT HAVE AN INTERNAL
6:16:09PM CONNECTION ARE THESE UNITS HERE AND THEY ARE ALSO, THEY
6:16:13PM COLLECT WITH THE SINGLE SIDEWALK.
6:16:14PM YOU ALL ASKED FOR AN INCREASE IN GREENSPACE AND MAKING SURE
6:16:20PM THAT WAS PROTECTED.
6:16:23PM THERE WAS EVEN SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT ELIMINATING THE NEED
6:16:25PM FOR VISITOR PARKING.
6:16:27PM EVEN WITH THE VISITOR PARKING SPACES HERE WE STILL MEET THE
6:16:30PM REQUIREMENT.
6:16:30PM THE OTHER ELEMENT THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WAS WE HAVE A
6:16:36PM DRIVEWAY THAT CONNECTS FROM PAUL TO PAUL.
6:16:41PM SO IT'S INTERNAL TO THE SITE.
6:16:43PM IT DOESN'T IGNORE THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE SOME OTHER ISSUES
6:16:47PM THERE TO DEAL WITH, BUT WE'VE TRIED TO MAXIMIZE THAT, GIVING
6:16:55PM YOU THE 24 FEET OF WIDTH ON THE DRIVE AISLE WOULD NOT ALLOW
6:17:01PM US TO HAVE A SECOND BUILDING HERE SIMPLY BECAUSE THEN THE
6:17:06PM BUFFER THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR TO GO TO THREE FEET WOULD BE
6:17:09PM REDUCED EVEN MORE.
6:17:10PM AGAIN, THAT BUFFER IS REQUIRED FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES.
6:17:14PM IF IT WEREN'T A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, WE WOULD HAVE NO
6:17:17PM BUFFER.
6:17:17PM IT WOULD BE A RESIDENTIAL AND THEN WE'RE ASKING FOR RELIEF
6:17:20PM ON THE TYPE OF FENCE AND SEPARATION THAT'S PROVIDED THERE.
6:17:24PM IF YOU GO BACK THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION FINDINGS,
6:17:29PM THEY DID FIND IT CONSISTENT AND WE'RE MEETING TECHNICALLY
6:17:32PM EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR THE TECHNICAL STANDARDS THAT THE STAFF
6:17:35PM POINTED OUT FROM NATURAL RESOURCES.
6:17:36PM AND THEY HAVE ALSO, THE PLANNING COMMISSION POINTED OUT IN
6:17:41PM THEIR REPORT THAT TEN FAMILY UNITS IN A MIXED USE UMU 60
6:17:47PM DESIGNATION IS REASONABLE.
6:17:49PM REMEMBER, IT'S A MIXED USE CORRIDOR.
6:17:52PM IT'S SURROUNDED BY EITHER COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE OR
6:17:55PM MULTIFAMILY USES.
6:17:56PM WE'RE NOT INTRODUCING A NEW USE HERE, AND WE'RE NOT TRYING
6:17:59PM TO SQUEEZE SOMETHING IN THAT WOULD ADVERSELY IMPACT
6:18:03PM RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.
6:18:04PM THAT WAS ONE OF THE OTHER ISSUES THAT YOU ALL TALKED ABOUT
6:18:08PM WAS ALLOWING AND PROMOTING TOWN HOUSES IN MIXED USE
6:18:13PM CORRIDORS, NOT ONLY RESIDENTIAL STREETS, THIS ISN'T ONE OF
6:18:16PM THEM.
6:18:17PM THE STAFF IS THE ONE WHO POINTED OUT THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT A
6:18:23PM SIDEWALK ON PAUL.
6:18:24PM THAT ISN'T SOMETHING WE PROPOSED.
6:18:26PM WE CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION OF PUTTING THE SIDEWALK BEHIND
6:18:29PM THE DITCH, COLLECTING THE FRONT DOORS, WHICH ALL STILL FACE
6:18:34PM THE FRONT AND TAKING THAT DOWN TO THE END WHERE IT COULD, IN
6:18:38PM FACT, CONNECT TO SOMETHING ELSE.
6:18:40PM WE TRY TO MITIGATE ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED
6:18:46PM BY THIS PROJECT.
6:18:49PM WHEN THE STAFF WENT ON AND TALKED ABOUT THE TYPE -- AGAIN,
6:18:54PM THE TYPE OF USES, 22 UNITS ARE ALLOWED, BY MY MATH.
6:18:59PM CHECK IT WITH STAFF IF YOU'D LIKE.
6:19:01PM 60 UNITS TO THE ACRE, WE WOULD BE ALLOWED 22 UNITS BY RIGHT.
6:19:09PM AND WE'RE PROPOSING 10.
6:19:11PM AND THAT'S AT 19 UNITS PER ACRE AS THE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL.
6:19:19PM I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
6:19:31PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
6:19:31PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YES.
6:19:32PM THANK YOU.
6:19:33PM YOU CAN LEAVE THAT ONE UP.
6:19:34PM WHAT IS THE AVERAGE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF EACH OF THESE UNITS?
6:19:40PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: I DON'T KNOW.
6:19:45PM >>LYNN HURTAK: DOES STAFF KNOW?
6:20:33PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: LITTLE OVER 1100 SQUARE FEET FOOTPRINT.
6:20:40PM >>LYNN HURTAK: OVERALL, THEY ARE THREE STORY.
6:20:42PM WHAT IS THE TOTAL?
6:20:46PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: I'M GUESSING.
6:20:47PM I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE, GUESSING ABOUT 3,000 SQUARE FEET.
6:20:51PM I'M GUESSING.
6:20:52PM >>LYNN HURTAK: 3,000.
6:20:54PM THAT'S SORT OF MY QUESTION.
6:20:55PM THESE ARE 3,000-SQUARE-FOOT UNITS AND YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE
6:21:00PM PRODUCING FEWER UNITS.
6:21:02PM I WOULD PREFER TO SEE A PROJECT WITH MORE UNITS WITH LESS
6:21:05PM SQUARE FOOTAGE.
6:21:06PM I THINK THAT YOU TALK ABOUT THE DENSITY YOU COULD BE HAVING.
6:21:11PM I THINK YOU OUGHT TO GO THERE.
6:21:12PM I'M STRUGGLING WITH THE DOORS TO THE BACK.
6:21:18PM AGAIN, THAT'S JUST NOT USEFUL.
6:21:20PM THERE'S NO POINT TO THAT.
6:21:21PM AND THE FACT THAT WE'RE NOT ADDING THE GREENSPACE AND THE
6:21:24PM TREES IS A CONCERN FOR ME.
6:21:25PM I JUST DON'T KNOW WHY WE'RE USING THE FACT THAT IT'S NOT
6:21:29PM DENSE AS A SELLING POINT BECAUSE TO ME THAT IS THE OPPOSITE
6:21:32PM OF A SELLING POINT.
6:21:33PM WE NEED MORE HOUSING, AND WE DON'T NEED 3,000 SQUARE FOOT
6:21:38PM HOMES.
6:21:38PM WE NEED MORE HOUSING.
6:21:39PM FOR ME IT SEEMS THAT IF YOU JUST CUT THE SIZE IN HALF YOU
6:21:46PM COULD FIT THOSE 20.
6:21:49PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: WE ARE MEETING GREENSPACE.
6:21:51PM WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR A WAIVER OF GREENSPACE.
6:21:53PM IT IS THE DISTANCE ON A BUFFER THAT'S BEING REQUESTED TO BE
6:21:57PM REDUCED.
6:21:58PM WE STILL MEET ALL OF THE GREENSPACE REQUIREMENTS AND IN
6:22:02PM TERMS OF THE TREES, WE'RE INCREASING THE SIZE OF THE TREES
6:22:05PM TO MEET THE NUMBER OF TREES REQUIRED TO BE PLANTED.
6:22:07PM >>LYNN HURTAK: BUT YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO DO THAT IN THE BUFFER
6:22:11PM AREA, AND THAT'S THE CONCERN.
6:22:12PM MS. MAEHR, IS THAT NOT CORRECT?
6:22:22PM >> ERIN MAEHR, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION, YEAH, THAT IS TRUE.
6:22:25PM THE CODE REQUIRES TYPE ONE OR TYPE TWO TREES IN A 15-FOOT
6:22:29PM USE-TO-USE LANDSCAPE BUFFER, AND THREE TO FOUR FEET IS NOT
6:22:32PM ENOUGH ROOM TO PLANT A 4-INCH CALIPER TREE.
6:22:37PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: OUR POINT WOULD BE, WHY WOULD YOU BUFFER
6:22:39PM BETWEEN A RESIDENTIAL UNIT AND A COMMERCIAL UNIT WITH A
6:22:42PM TREE?
6:22:43PM IT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE TO HAVE THE FENCE INSTEAD OF
6:22:47PM PUTTING THE TREES IN THOSE LOCATIONS.
6:22:50PM WE HAVE OTHER AREAS THAT THEY WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH AND
6:22:54PM APPROPRIATE TO BE PLACED.
6:22:58PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
6:22:58PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: WE'RE TRYING TO COPY THE TYPE OF
6:23:04PM DEVELOPMENT THAT'S ALREADY EXISTING IN THE AREA, AND THESE
6:23:07PM UNITS ARE EXACTLY WHAT ADDRESSES THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE
6:23:11PM DITCH.
6:23:12PM THEY ADDRESS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SIDEWALK THAT'S
6:23:15PM BEHIND THE DITCH.
6:23:17PM IT COLLECTS PEOPLE, AND IT KEEPS THEM OUT OF HARM'S WAY.
6:23:24PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
6:23:29PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WAS THERE EVER A DISCUSSION IN MITIGATING
6:23:34PM THESE OPEN DITCHES?
6:23:35PM IS THERE DISCUSSION WHEN YOU DEVELOP THIS TYPE OF A PROJECT,
6:23:39PM MITIGATING THE OPEN DITCHES?
6:23:42PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: WELL, IT'S IN THE CITY.
6:23:44PM I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU WOULD MITIGATE THE DITCH.
6:23:47PM I GUESS YOU COULD PETITION TO FILL IT IN, BUT THEN YOU
6:23:50PM DIMINISH THE PERCOLATION CAPACITY OF THE DITCH.
6:23:55PM AND I DON'T KNOW -- I'M ASSUMING --
6:23:58PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY ASKED.
6:24:01PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: NO ONE HAS ASKED US ABOUT THAT.
6:24:03PM WHERE WOULD THE SIDEWALK GO?
6:24:06PM IF YOU FILLED IN THE DITCH OR YOU PUT IN WITH REINFORCED
6:24:10PM CONCRETE PIPE AND COVERED IT OVER, IT WOULD STILL TAKE YOU
6:24:14PM INTO A DANGEROUS CORNER.
6:24:15PM YOU CAN ASK TRANSPORTATION, WOULD YOU WANT TO HAVE PEOPLE
6:24:18PM WALK INTO THAT CORNER WITH THE GUARDRAIL AND ALL THAT?
6:24:21PM I DON'T THINK SO.
6:24:23PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
6:24:27PM >> JONATHAN SCOTT, MOBILITY.
6:24:29PM IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THERE IS A LARGE DITCH AND A BIG
6:24:32PM STORMWATER FACILITY DOWN THERE, VERY IMPRACTICAL.
6:24:36PM IF YOU LOOK AT THE STREET VIEW, YOU CAN SEE IT'S A BIG
6:24:39PM DROP-OFF AND ALL KIND OF STORMWATER STRUCTURES AROUND THERE.
6:24:42PM TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE, LET'S SAY.
6:24:45PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
6:24:46PM YES, MA'AM.
6:24:46PM WERE YOU GOING TO COME UP?
6:24:51PM >>EMILY PHELAN: EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
6:24:52PM I NEEDED TO MAKE A SLIGHT CORRECTION TO THE RECORD.
6:24:55PM THE SITE BY RIGHT IS ALLOWED TO HAVE 25 DWELLING UNITS.
6:25:00PM I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT STATED 22.
6:25:03PM JUST NEEDED TO CORRECT THAT.
6:25:05PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: SORRY FOR MY MISSED MATH.
6:25:07PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: BY RIGHT 25 AND THE APPLICANT HAS 22.
6:25:12PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: NO, WE'RE ASKING FOR 10.
6:25:14PM >>EMILY PHELAN: HE STATED 22.
6:25:16PM SO I NEEDED TO CORRECT THAT.
6:25:17PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: NO, MY BAD MATH.
6:25:19PM AS I SAID, IF YOU RECALL THE DISCUSSIONS THAT WERE HELD HERE
6:25:26PM IN DECEMBER ABOUT HOW TO MAKE THESE THINGS MORE COMPATIBLE,
6:25:32PM HOW TO MAKE THEM FIT, HOW TO GET AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN TOWARD
6:25:36PM MAKING THEM MEET THE CODE, I THINK WE HAVE DONE AN ADMIRABLE
6:25:42PM JOB IN TRYING TO GET THERE.
6:25:44PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
6:25:45PM YES, MA'AM.
6:25:46PM >> CATE WELLS, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
6:25:48PM I WANT TO CLARIFY A COUPLE OF THINGS FOR THE RECORD.
6:25:50PM THERE'S BEEN SOME DISCUSSION HOW ELSE THIS SITE COULD BE
6:25:53PM DEVELOPED.
6:25:53PM THE QUESTION TONIGHT IS THE PROPOSED REZONING AND HOW IT
6:25:56PM DOES OR DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE
6:26:00PM LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
6:26:01PM AND ANY DISCUSSIONS -- I GOT A LITTLE CONFUSED BECAUSE I
6:26:04PM KEPT HEARING ABOUT, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THESE TYPES OF
6:26:07PM DEVELOPMENTS AND HOW TO MITIGATE AND WHAT COUNCIL HAS ASKED
6:26:10PM FOR, BUT UNTIL COUNCIL APPROVED AN AMENDMENT TO OUR LAND
6:26:14PM DEVELOPMENT CODE TO ADDRESS THOSE TYPES OF ISSUES, I CAUTION
6:26:20PM APPLICANTS AND COUNCIL AGAINST USING THOSE INFORMAL
6:26:24PM DISCUSSIONS THAT HAVE NOT RESULTED IN ANY FORMAL ACTION BY
6:26:27PM COUNCIL OR AN AMENDMENT TO OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO USE
6:26:31PM THAT AS GUIDANCE IN CONSIDERING THE APPLICATION BEFORE YOU.
6:26:35PM THIS GOES BACK TO WHAT ARE THE STANDARDS FOR PLAN
6:26:39PM DEVELOPMENT IN OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, HOW THIS
6:26:42PM APPLICATION DOES OR DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THOSE STANDARDS AND
6:26:44PM THEN THE COMPATIBILITY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
6:26:47PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
6:26:48PM IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM
6:26:51PM NUMBER 6?
6:26:52PM PLEASE COME ON UP AND STATE YOUR NAME.
6:26:56PM EVERYBODY HAS BEEN SWORN IN.
6:27:06PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
6:27:07PM SANDRA DEDIEGO SANCHEZ.
6:27:10PM I HAD NOT PLANNED TO SPEAK TONIGHT.
6:27:12PM THIS CAUGHT MY ATTENTION SO I HAD TO SAY SOMETHING.
6:27:15PM I'M CONCERNED OF CHANGING A COUPLE OF THINGS.
6:27:21PM THESE ARE JUST NOTES.
6:27:22PM COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE IS WHAT SOUTH OF GANDY HAS BEEN
6:27:27PM WANTING.
6:27:28PM THEY WANT TO KEEP THEIR COMMERCIAL.
6:27:29PM THEY ARE TRYING TO GET BUSINESSES TO MOVE THERE BECAUSE THEY
6:27:31PM WANT MORE EMPLOYMENT IN THAT AREA SO THAT THEY COULD
6:27:37PM ACCOMMODATE THE PEOPLE, EASY FOR THEM TO GET TO THEIR JOBS.
6:27:40PM THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS.
6:27:42PM THE OTHER THING IS THIS IS IN A HIGH-HAZARD ZONE.
6:27:46PM IT'S ZONED AE.
6:27:48PM THAT DITCH AND WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT SHOULD SEND UP A
6:27:52PM RED FLAG ALMOST IMMEDIATELY.
6:27:55PM PART OF THE PROBLEM IS THE PROPERTY, THE DITCH AROUND IT,
6:28:00PM AND THE THINGS THAT THEY CANNOT DO BECAUSE THEY CANNOT
6:28:04PM COMPLY WITH CERTAIN CITY ORDINANCES BECAUSE OF THAT DITCH.
6:28:07PM THAT'S ANOTHER RED FLAG.
6:28:11PM NATURAL RESOURCES IS TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
6:28:14PM HE CAN PUT 25 UNITS ON IT, BUT ARE THEY GOING TO FLOOD?
6:28:17PM ARE THEY GOING TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY WORK IN THAT AREA?
6:28:23PM WE ALL KNOW THAT CITY STAFF IS PRESENTLY WORKING ON SOME
6:28:29PM GUIDELINES FOR THIS PARTICULAR STYLE.
6:28:33PM THOSE GUIDELINES AND THE APPLICANT IS WELL AWARE OF THEM.
6:28:37PM THE APPLICANT HAS PARTICIPATED IN THEM AND GIVEN OPINIONS.
6:28:41PM UNTIL THOSE GUIDELINES COME BACK TO YOU FOR THIS PARTICULAR
6:28:46PM AISLE STYLE, I THINK YOU SHOULD DENY THIS UNTIL THOSE
6:28:52PM GUIDELINES ARE GIVEN TO YOU SO YOU CAN SEE IF THEY REALLY
6:28:55PM COMPLY BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE GUIDELINES THAT WILL BE COMING
6:28:58PM TO YOU IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS.
6:29:01PM AGAIN, THESE ARE MORE MARKET VALUE.
6:29:05PM THERE'S NO AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN IT.
6:29:06PM WE GO BACK TO THE SAME THING.
6:29:10PM STAFF IS PUTTING A HOUSING REPORT TOGETHER THAT WILL TELL
6:29:12PM YOU IF WE ACTUALLY NEED ANY MORE MARKETABLE HOUSING, MARKET
6:29:16PM PRICE HOUSING AS OPPOSED TO THE AFFORDABLE.
6:29:18PM WE KNOW WE HAVE LOTS OF CONDOS GOING UP FOR MILLION-DOLLAR
6:29:25PM CONDOS.
6:29:26PM ALSO, THE CITY FOUND THIS INCONSISTENT.
6:29:28PM THERE WERE INCONSISTENCIES THROUGHOUT THIS PLAN.
6:29:33PM PLEASE DENY.
6:29:34PM THANK YOU.
6:29:35PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
6:29:35PM NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
6:29:39PM >> GOOD EVENING.
6:29:39PM NATHAN HAGAN.
6:29:41PM I THINK AN IMPORTANT QUESTION TO ASK HERE, WHICH MAY NOT BE
6:29:45PM GERMANE TO THE VOTE, WHAT ARE THE ECONOMIC BARRIERS
6:29:48PM PRESENTED BY THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE WHICH ARE PREVENTING
6:29:51PM US FROM HAVING A MORE DENSE.
6:29:54PM I THINK WHAT IS GERMANE TO THIS VOTE IS THAT IT IS ALMOST
6:29:58PM ONE-THIRD OF WHAT IS ALLOWED IN TERMS OF NUMBER OF UNITS.
6:30:02PM IF OUR OBJECTIVE AND THE OBJECTIVE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
6:30:04PM IS TO MAXIMIZE THE NUMBER OF UNITS ON THE LIMITED SPACE THAT
6:30:07PM WE HAVE TO BUILD THEM IN THE CITY OF TAMPA, I THINK IT
6:30:09PM BEHOOVES US TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY IT'S NOT ECONOMICALLY
6:30:14PM VIABLE OR WHY THIS DEVELOPER, THE CLIENT HERE IS NOT
6:30:19PM MAXIMIZING THE NUMBER OF UNITS.
6:30:21PM THAT TO ME SEEMS LIKE AN ESSENTIAL QUESTION FROM A POLICY
6:30:24PM LEGISLATIVE POINT OF VIEW, ESPECIALLY IN A COMPREHENSIVE
6:30:29PM PLAN UPDATE.
6:30:29PM I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT CAN FACTOR INTO THIS DECISION.
6:30:32PM ULTIMATELY, WE NEED MORE UNITS HERE AND I HOPE WE GET
6:30:35PM SOMETHING DONE.
6:30:36PM ONE-THIRD OF DENSITY IS REALLY MIND-BOGGLING TO ME WHY
6:30:42PM SOMEBODY WHO IS TRYING TO MAXIMIZE PROFIT FOR THEMSELVES
6:30:45PM WOULD BUILD ONE-THIRD OF THE NUMBER OF UNITS THEY ARE
6:30:47PM ALLOWED TO.
6:30:48PM THAT SHOULD THROW OFF SOME ALARM BELLS IN YOUR MIND.
6:30:53PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM, NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
6:31:01PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: MS. BENNETT HAS ONE NAME.
6:31:03PM MICHAEL FANNING.
6:31:03PM ARE YOU PRESENT?
6:31:04PM THANK YOU.
6:31:04PM ONE ADDITIONAL MINUTE.
6:31:05PM FOUR MINUTES, PLEASE.
6:31:07PM >> HI.
6:31:08PM MY NAME IS CARROLL ANN BENNETT, LIFELONG RESIDENT OF TAMPA.
6:31:12PM TAMPA NEEDS TO HAVE A HIGH STANDARD FOR OUR DEVELOPMENT.
6:31:17PM WE NEED TO DEVELOP GOOD PROJECTS THAT ARE SMART.
6:31:21PM THIS IS A MEDIOCRE SUBSTANDARD PROJECT.
6:31:25PM THAT PROPERTY NEEDS TO BE REDEVELOPED.
6:31:26PM NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
6:31:28PM BUT THIS PLAN DOESN'T ACHIEVE ANY OF THE BEST GOALS THAT WE
6:31:33PM SHOULD HAVE.
6:31:34PM FIRST PLACE, WE REALLY NEED TO PROTECT OUR COMMERCIAL
6:31:37PM PROPERTY.
6:31:38PM COMMERCIAL PROPERTY IS DISAPPEARING AT AN ALARMING RATE.
6:31:41PM IT PROVIDES JOBS AND IN SOUTH TAMPA IN PARTICULAR, IT
6:31:44PM PROVIDES JOBS THAT PEOPLE DO NOT EVACUATE FROM.
6:31:48PM THEY DO NOT EVACUATE FROM THEIR HOMES.
6:31:49PM OUR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY IS PRECIOUS.
6:31:51PM WE NEED TO CONSERVE IT.
6:31:54PM THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER, 15 FEET WITH A 6-FOOT MASONRY WALL.
6:31:59PM WAIVERS, MR. MICHELINI SAID, WELL, IF THERE WEREN'T
6:32:04PM COMMERCIAL ACROSS THE STREET, WE WOULDN'T NEED IT.
6:32:06PM IF MY HOUSE WAS ON THE BEACH, I WOULD GET A LOT MORE MONEY
6:32:09PM FOR IT, BUT MY HOUSE ISN'T ON THE BEACH.
6:32:12PM I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.
6:32:13PM IF THERE WASN'T COMMERCIAL, MAYBE THEY WOULDN'T NEED THE
6:32:15PM BUFFER, BUT THERE IS, SO THEY DO.
6:32:17PM SO I DON'T KNOW UNDERSTAND THAT AS AN ARGUMENT.
6:32:20PM THE FACT THAT THEY CAN'T PLANT THE TREES THEY NEED TO PLANT
6:32:23PM IN THE BUFFER BECAUSE THEY ARE ASKING FOR IT TO BE REDUCED
6:32:25PM TO THREE FEET AND FOUR FEET IS A BIG PROBLEM.
6:32:29PM I'VE READ THE STAFF REPORT.
6:32:30PM IT'S FULL OF ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS.
6:32:32PM THE DRIVE AISLE, HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THE SITE PLAN?
6:32:37PM I'M SURE YOU HAVE.
6:32:39PM JONATHAN SCOTT TESTIFIED ON ANOTHER HEARING THAT IF THE
6:32:47PM GARAGES ARE TOO SMALL, YOU CAN'T OPEN THE DOORS.
6:32:50PM YOU HAVE TO CLIMB OUT THE WINDOWS.
6:32:52PM THESE GARAGES ARE TOO SMALL.
6:32:54PM YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET TWO CARS IN THESE GARAGES.
6:32:57PM SO WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO?
6:32:58PM THEY ARE GOING TO PARK ON THE STREET WHERE THERE'S NO
6:33:00PM ON-SITE STREET PARKING?
6:33:02PM YOU SAW THE PICTURES.
6:33:04PM SAW THE GUARDRAIL.
6:33:05PM THERE'S NO PLACE TO PARK ON THE STREET AND THEY ARE NOT
6:33:08PM GOING TO BE ABLE TO FIT IN THE GARAGES.
6:33:09PM THEY CAN'T MAKE THESE TURNS.
6:33:11PM HE'S TALKING ABOUT SIDEWALKS.
6:33:13PM THEY ARE PAYING INTO THE SIDEWALK IN LIEU OF FUND.
6:33:16PM THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT BUILDING SIDEWALKS.
6:33:18PM DITCHES, I DON'T KNOW ANYBODY THAT LIKES HAVING A DITCH IN
6:33:21PM THEIR FRONT YARD.
6:33:22PM I THINK THE DITCH SHOULD BE FILLED IN.
6:33:24PM PUT IN CULVERTS, HAVE BETTER DRAINAGE.
6:33:27PM DITCHES ARE NOT A GOOD THING AND YOU CAN PUT SIDEWALKS ON
6:33:30PM TOP OF DITCHES IF YOU DO THAT.
6:33:32PM THE FRONT DOORS ARE A PROBLEM.
6:33:41PM THEY DON'T FACE THE STREET.
6:33:42PM IS THIS SAFE?
6:33:44PM COME OUT HERE WHERE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AND TRYING TO TURN
6:33:47PM HERE AND WALK YOUR DOG, PULL YOUR BIKE OUT HERE.
6:33:50PM IF THERE IS A DITCH, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GO OUT THAT DOOR.
6:33:54PM THIS IS A VERY BAD PLAN.
6:33:55PM TUNNEL DESIGN WITH THE AISLE DESIGN, THIS DOESN'T SATISFY
6:33:59PM ANYTHING.
6:34:00PM IT DOESN'T GIVE US THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY WE NEED.
6:34:02PM IF YOU'RE GOING TO DEVELOP IT RESIDENTIAL, MAKE MICROUNITS
6:34:06PM OR WHATEVER, IT DOESN'T REALLY GIVE US DENSITY.
6:34:09PM IT'S NOT RIGHT FOR THE AREA.
6:34:11PM IT'S A VERY MEDIOCRE PLAN.
6:34:15PM ONE THING I THOUGHT WAS VERY INTERESTING AND I READ THE
6:34:18PM STAFF REPORT FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION, AND THIS REALLY
6:34:21PM BOGGLED MY MIND.
6:34:22PM IT SAYS THE SPECIFIC SITE CHALLENGES MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO
6:34:26PM ADDRESS THESE POLICIES, LU POLICY 6.1.2, 6.1.5, 6.1.13.
6:34:35PM THERE IS AN EXISTING STORMWATER DITCH THAT RUNS ALONG THE
6:34:38PM RIGHT-OF-WAY.
6:34:38PM THIS DITCH MAKES IT IMPRACTICAL TO PROVIDE SIDEWALKS.
6:34:42PM SO WHAT THEY ARE BASICALLY SAYING IS ALL THESE THINGS CANNOT
6:34:45PM BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE THE SITE IS SO BAD.
6:34:48PM THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO ADDRESS THE MIXED USE CENTERS AND
6:34:52PM CORRIDORS POLICY SUCH AS PROVIDING PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS
6:34:54PM FROM INTERNAL UNITS TO SIDEWALK AND STREET.
6:34:57PM IT'S IN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA, EVACUATION ZONE A,
6:35:01PM IMPERVIOUS SURFACE IS INCREASING 11,000 SQUARE FEET.
6:35:05PM THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT THIS PLAN THAT IS GOOD FOR THIS
6:35:08PM PARTICULAR SITE.
6:35:08PM ANYTHING ELSE PRACTICALLY WOULD BE BETTER.
6:35:11PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
6:35:12PM NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
6:35:15PM >> GOOD EVENING.
6:35:16PM STEPHANIE POYNOR.
6:35:17PM I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE GANDY CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
6:35:21PM I DO NOT ANSWER THE E-MAILS FOR THE GANDY CIVIC ASSOCIATION
6:35:24PM BUT I NEVER HEARD FROM THE APPLICANT TO MEET WITH THE
6:35:27PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
6:35:27PM I'D LIKE TO START OUT BY SHOWING YOU THIS NICE LITTLE
6:35:32PM NEIGHBORHOOD THAT I CURRENTLY HAVE A LISTING IN.
6:35:34PM THIS IS 25 FEET WIDE.
6:35:35PM ACTUALLY SOMEBODY ASKED ME TO GO TAKE A LOOK AT IT, AND I
6:35:41PM MEASURED WITH MY TRUSTY TAPE MEASURER.
6:35:43PM THEN I WALKED UP AND DOWN THE AISLE WAY.
6:35:46PM I NOTICED THERE ARE 20 UNITS IN THIS LITTLE COMMUNITY.
6:35:51PM 20, AND THIS IS A FOOT WIDER THAN WHAT MR. MICHELINI IS
6:35:58PM PROPOSING THIS EVENING.
6:35:59PM AND HALF OF THE GARAGE DOORS HAVE SIGNIFICANT DOOR DINGS.
6:36:06PM HALF OF THEM AND IT IS A FOOT WIDER.
6:36:09PM WHY ARE WE MAKING IT NARROWER?
6:36:11PM I DON'T REALLY KNOW.
6:36:13PM ANYWAY, I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THIS NIFTY DOCUMENT THAT
6:36:16PM WAS PRODUCED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION IN 2020.
6:36:20PM ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT THIS IS THAT THIS
6:36:23PM DOCUMENT SAYS THAT SINCE -- NOW, THIS WAS IN 2020.
6:36:27PM SINCE 2004, THERE HAVE BEEN 60 PLAN AMENDMENT CHANGES
6:36:30PM INVOLVING INDUSTRIAL LAND USES TOTALING 790 ACRES OF LAND.
6:36:36PM THERE WERE ONLY TWO CHANGING TWO -- CHANGING TO IG OR
6:36:43PM INDUSTRIAL OR COMMERCIAL LAND.
6:36:44PM EVERYTHING ELSE HAS BEEN CHANGED TO RESIDENTIAL.
6:36:46PM I WOULD VENTURE TO GUESS THAT A HUGE CHUNK OF THESE NUMBERS
6:36:51PM IS RATTLESNAKE POINT, WHICH IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.
6:36:55PM I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THAT THE CITY STAFF POINTED
6:36:58PM OUT ALL THE RESIDENTIAL AROUND IT, BUT FAILED TO POINT OUT
6:37:01PM ALL THE COMMERCIAL THAT WAS ACTUALLY NEXT TO IT.
6:37:04PM OVER AND OVER AGAIN HE DID THAT.
6:37:06PM THAT'S KIND OF DISAPPOINTING TO ME.
6:37:09PM I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT WHEN LaCHONE SHOWED
6:37:13PM PICTURES OF THE STREET, ANYWAY, I'M SORRY, BUT WHEN THEY
6:37:18PM SHOWED THE PICTURE OF THE STREET, THERE WERE CARS PARKED ON
6:37:21PM THE STREET.
6:37:21PM WHY?
6:37:22PM BECAUSE THERE IS ANOTHER CRAPPY DEVELOPMENT TO THE NORTH
6:37:25PM WHERE I'VE BEEN BY THE SITE TWICE TO LOOK AT IT AND THERE
6:37:29PM WERE AT LEAST FIVE CARS FROM THAT DEVELOPMENT PARKED ON THE
6:37:33PM STREET.
6:37:34PM THAT'S A PROBLEM.
6:37:35PM THIS IS, OF COURSE, IN THE CHHA.
6:37:38PM WHY IS HE ASKING FOR UMU 60 BECAUSE HE CAN'T ASK FOR CMU 35
6:37:43PM BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET FAR AND HE WOULDN'T BE
6:37:45PM ABLE TO GET ENOUGH STUFF ON IT.
6:37:47PM NOW, MY BUDDY, MR. HAGAN HERE, YOU KNOW, HE'S ALL FOR MORE
6:37:53PM HOUSING.
6:37:54PM THESE ARE NOT AFFORDABLE.
6:37:55PM THESE ARE GOING TO BE THREE-QUARTER OF A MILLION TO
6:37:58PM MILLION-DOLLAR PROPERTIES.
6:37:59PM THAT'S WHAT EVERYTHING AROUND THEM HAS SOLD LIKE.
6:38:02PM THERE'S STILL COMMERCIAL NECESSARY.
6:38:05PM THIS IS STILL SOUTH OF GANDY.
6:38:07PM PEOPLE DON'T EVACUATE FROM WHAT'S ON THERE NOW.
6:38:12PM THIS CAN STILL BE SOLD AS A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY.
6:38:14PM THERE'S NO REASON WHY IT HAS TO BE RESIDENTIAL, EXCEPT FOR
6:38:17PM SOMEBODY WHO WANTS TO BUILD IT AND MAKE A BUNCH OF MONEY.
6:38:20PM SOUTH TAMPA IS FULL.
6:38:22PM REMEMBER THAT, PLEASE.
6:38:23PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WISHES TO
6:38:26PM SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 6?
6:38:29PM NO.
6:38:31PM YES, MA'AM.
6:38:35PM >>EMILY PHELAN: EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
6:38:38PM I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY A STATEMENT THAT WAS MADE IN PUBLIC
6:38:40PM COMMENT.
6:38:40PM THE SITE IS CURRENTLY UMU 60.
6:38:43PM THIS IS NOT A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAP AMENDMENT.
6:38:45PM THE SITE IS ALREADY DESIGNATED UMU 60, SO THEY ARE NOT
6:38:49PM ASKING FOR ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF WHAT THEIR FUTURE LAND USE
6:38:51PM DESIGNATION CURRENTLY ALLOWS.
6:38:54PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
6:38:55PM SIR, WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE REBUTTAL?
6:38:59PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: FIRST, I'D LIKE TO HAVE THE
6:39:01PM TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT COMMENT ABOUT THE DIMENSIONS OF
6:39:05PM THE DRIVE AISLE AND THEIR USABILITY.
6:39:10PM THEY ARE NOT TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERS AND WHEN THEY GET UP
6:39:12PM AND THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT FUNCTIONAL, THEY MEET THE CODE,
6:39:16PM THE PROPOSAL THAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU MEETS THE CODE.
6:39:19PM WHETHER OR NOT CI IS A LONG-TERM GOAL OF THE CITY TO
6:39:25PM ELIMINATE AND TURN INTO HOUSING OR NOT, AGAIN, THE PLANNING
6:39:28PM COMMISSION FOUND US TO BE CONSISTENT.
6:39:31PM WE DIDN'T ASK FOR A LAND USE CHANGE.
6:39:34PM WE'RE ASKING FOR A TOWN HOUSE PROJECT THAT GOES TOWARD
6:39:39PM MEETING ALL OF THE CODES.
6:39:41PM THE ONLY OBJECTION THAT WE HAD WAS THE BUFFER WAIVER FROM
6:39:47PM NATURAL RESOURCES.
6:39:48PM WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY FROM THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS.
6:39:50PM WE DIDN'T HAVE THEM FROM TRANSPORTATION.
6:39:52PM WE DIDN'T HAVE THEM FROM ZONING EXCEPT TO BACK UP WHAT
6:39:56PM NATURAL RESOURCES SAID.
6:39:59PM THE FACT THAT WE HAVE CONNECTIVITY, WE HAVE THE DOORS FACING
6:40:03PM PAUL.
6:40:04PM THERE'S ONLY FOUR UNITS THAT DON'T FACE PAUL THAT DON'T HAVE
6:40:08PM A FRONT DOOR THAT FACES THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
6:40:11PM ONLY FOUR.
6:40:14PM IN THE BACK.
6:40:15PM I'LL BE HAPPY TO SHOW YOU AGAIN ON THE SITE PLAN.
6:40:28PM FRONT DOOR FACING PAUL.
6:40:46PM FRONT DOOR, FRONT DOOR, FRONT DOOR, ALL OF THOSE ON THE
6:40:50PM FRONT.
6:40:50PM THEY HAVE AN OPENING AND THEY LOOK LIKE I SHOWED YOU ON THAT
6:40:55PM PICTURE.
6:40:55PM THEY ALL FRONT THAT WAY.
6:40:56PM THIS ONE HAS THE DOORWAY ON THE SIDE FACING PAUL.
6:41:02PM THE ONES THAT DON'T IS THIS ONE, ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR.
6:41:05PM AND THEY ARE CONNECTED WITH A SIDEWALK THAT RUNS ALONG THE
6:41:09PM OUTSIDE HERE.
6:41:11PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THERE IS NO DOOR FACING PAUL.
6:41:13PM THEY ARE BOTH FACING -- FOR UNIT 10.
6:41:19PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: THAT DOOR SHOULD SHOW THERE.
6:41:20PM >>LYNN HURTAK: BUT IT DOESN'T.
6:41:28PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: ANYWAY, THERE WAS A COMMENT ABOUT THE
6:41:30PM SIDEWALKS BEING IN THE DRIVE AISLE.
6:41:32PM THEY ARE NOT IN THE DRIVE AISLE.
6:41:33PM THEY ARE BACK HERE.
6:41:34PM AND THAT'S WHERE THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER IS, TOO.
6:41:36PM ANYWAY.
6:41:42PM SO ALL OF THOSE UNITS FACE PAUL AND THEY ALL HAVE FRONT
6:41:49PM DOORS AND THEY ALL HAVE A SIDEWALK THAT CONNECTS THEM BACK
6:41:53PM TO THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
6:41:55PM THEY HAVE TAKEN THEM AWAY FROM THIS CORNER, WHEN WE TALKED
6:41:59PM TO TRANSPORTATION, THEY DON'T WANT ANYBODY ALONG THIS SIDE
6:42:02PM BECAUSE IT'S DANGEROUS.
6:42:03PM THAT'S WHAT THAT GUARDRAIL WAS FOR.
6:42:05PM SO ANYWAY, THE SITE PLANS NEED TO BE CORRECTED.
6:42:14PM I'LL BE HAPPY TO CORRECT THEM.
6:42:16PM BUT THAT DOORWAY SHOULD HAVE BEEN DRAWN ON THE SIDE.
6:42:21PM AS I SHOWED YOU, THERE ARE NO BLANK WALLS.
6:42:24PM WE ASKED AND TALKED ABOUT THE WINDOWS.
6:42:26PM TALKED ABOUT ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES.
6:42:27PM THEY ALL FACE THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
6:42:29PM I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
6:42:33PM GO THROUGH VERY QUICKLY THE CRITERIA FOR A PD.
6:42:38PM PROMPTS EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF LAND AND
6:42:41PM INFRASTRUCTURE AFTER CAREFULLY CONSIDERING THE POTENTIAL
6:42:44PM ADVERSE IMPACTS, THE APPLICANT REQUESTED THE NATURAL
6:42:48PM RESOURCES WAIVER AND WE'RE SAYING THAT SHOULD BE GRANTED.
6:42:51PM IF IT WERE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY, THERE WOULDN'T BE THAT
6:42:55PM BUFFER REQUIREMENT.
6:42:56PM ALLOW THE INTEGRATION OF DIFFERENT LAND USES AND DENSITIES.
6:43:00PM THIS IS RESTRICTED TO LESS THAN WHAT WAS ALLOWABLE BY THE
6:43:03PM MAXIMUM DENSITY.
6:43:04PM ENCOURAGE THE FLEXIBLE LAND DEVELOPMENT WHICH REDUCES
6:43:09PM TRANSPORTATION NEEDS AND CONSERVES ENERGY.
6:43:11PM THIS CERTAINLY DOES THAT BY RESTRICTING THE NUMBER OF UNITS
6:43:14PM TO 10.
6:43:16PM AND WE'RE ALSO PROVIDING FOR THE LANDSCAPE -- MEETING THE
6:43:20PM LANDSCAPE THAT WAS REQUIRED.
6:43:22PM PROMOTE AND ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF SITES WHERE
6:43:24PM APPROPRIATE LOCATION, CHARACTER, AND COMPATIBILITY.
6:43:26PM I SHOWED YOU THE AERIALS.
6:43:28PM SHOWED THAT IT WAS COMPATIBLE WITH ALL OF THE SURROUNDING
6:43:31PM DEVELOPED AREAS.
6:43:31PM PROMOTE THE DESIRABLE LIVING CONDITIONS.
6:43:36PM THIS IS ALL IN THE STAFF REPORT, ALLOWABLE EUCLIDEAN, IF
6:43:39PM ALLOWED BY EUCLIDEAN ZONING.
6:43:41PM PROMOTE THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES.
6:43:43PM I SHOWED YOU SOME.
6:43:44PM SHOW THE FENESTRATIONS THAT YOU'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT,
6:43:47PM PROMOTE THE RETENTION AND REUSE OF EXISTING BUILDING STOCK.
6:43:50PM THIS IS A CI WAREHOUSE THAT'S BEING REMOVED, OR PROPOSED TO
6:43:55PM BE REMOVED.
6:43:56PM WAIVER IS IN HARMONY AND SERVES THE GENERAL INTENT, ALLOWS
6:43:59PM THE WAIVER RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL JUSTICE BEING DONE.
6:44:03PM DESIGN PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS COMPATIBLE AND THE WAIVER IS
6:44:07PM -- DOES NOT SUBSTANTIALLY INTERFERE.
6:44:09PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
6:44:10PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I CAN, MR. MICHELINI,
6:44:14PM THERE IS A REVISION SHEET.
6:44:16PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: WE'RE COMMITTING TO THE REVISION SHEET.
6:44:18PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: AND BE ABLE TO MAKE THE CHANGES BETWEEN
6:44:20PM FIRST AND SECOND READING, IS THAT CORRECT?
6:44:22PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: YES.
6:44:23PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR.
6:44:26PM >> IS IT THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL TO HAVE THE REVISION SHEET
6:44:29PM FOR THE WAIVERS AMENDED?
6:44:29PM RIGHT NOW THE WAIVER IS TO REQUEST TO ALLOW THE FRONT DOORS
6:44:33PM OF UNITS 6 THROUGH 10 TO BE ORIENTED TOWARDS THE INTERNAL
6:44:36PM DRIVE.
6:44:37PM THAT WAIVER WOULD NEED TO BE AMENDED BETWEEN FIRST AND
6:44:39PM SECOND READING TO READ UNITS 6 THROUGH 9, IF THE INTENT IS
6:44:44PM TO MOVE THE DOOR ON UNIT 10 TO FACE PAUL AVENUE.
6:44:48PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: THE OTHER ONES FACE THE SIDEWALK THIS
6:44:50PM WAY.
6:44:51PM THEY DON'T FACE THE INSIDE.
6:44:54PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: TO THE SIDE YARD.
6:44:55PM TO FACE THE SIDE YARD.
6:44:57PM IT WOULD BE TO MODIFY THE WAIVER FOR UNITS 6 THROUGH 9 TO
6:45:00PM FACE THE SIDE YARD AND UNIT 10 WOULD THEN FACE PAUL BUT HAVE
6:45:06PM TO BE SAVED ON THE RECORD THAT THAT WOULD BE A REQUEST.
6:45:09PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR.
6:45:12PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: IS THERE A RESPONSE TO THAT?
6:45:14PM MR. MICHELINI, DID YOU --
6:45:18PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: THAT'S CORRECT.
6:45:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL?
6:45:22PM WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
6:45:28PM SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
6:45:29PM ALL IN FAVOR?
6:45:29PM AYE.
6:45:30PM WHAT IS THE PLEASURE THE COUNCIL.
6:45:38PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS IS A DIFFICULT ONE BECAUSE I THINK
6:45:40PM THAT THE APPLICANT HAS BEEN RECEPTIVE, OBVIOUSLY BEEN
6:45:44PM LISTENING TO OTHER DISCUSSIONS ON COUNCIL WHEN WE DISCUSSED
6:45:48PM THESE ISSUES IN DEVELOPMENT.
6:45:51PM I THINK THE PROBLEM WE HAVE HERE IS JUST THIS PARTICULAR
6:45:55PM PIECE.
6:45:56PM I THINK IF THIS PROJECT WAS ON A DIFFERENT PARCEL, MAYBE I
6:46:01PM WOULD BE MORE AGREEABLE TO IT.
6:46:02PM CLEARLY, THIS PARCEL IS KIND OF PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE OF THE
6:46:06PM TOPOGRAPHY OF IT WITH THAT SIGNIFICANT DROP-OFF ALONG PAUL
6:46:11PM WITH THE STORMWATER DITCH AND THE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT.
6:46:16PM I SEE, OBVIOUSLY, THAT WE'VE LOST THE BATTLE IN THIS
6:46:20PM PARTICULAR AREA AS FAR AS THE TYPE OF LAND USE.
6:46:23PM THIS IS CLEARLY, THESE PARCELS ARE BEING DEVELOPED INTO
6:46:27PM RESIDENTIAL UNITS.
6:46:28PM SO THAT DOESN'T WEIGH HEAVILY ON ME.
6:46:32PM BUT THE FACT THAT IT IS IN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA, THE
6:46:35PM FACT THAT WE HAVE THIS OPEN DITCH, THIS LARGE DROP-OFF, THAT
6:46:43PM IS PREVENTING YOU FROM DEVELOPING THIS PROPERTY IN
6:46:45PM ACCORDANCE WITH OUR LAND USE WITH THE DOORS FACING THE
6:46:49PM STREET AND BEING ABLE TO PUT THE CONNECTIVITY WITH TRUE
6:46:52PM SIDEWALK WHICH WOULD BE CONNECTIVITY, NOT JUST FOR THE
6:46:55PM NEIGHBORS LIVING THERE, BUT TO BE ABLE TO INTEGRATE WITH THE
6:46:58PM OTHER NEIGHBORS AS WE DEVELOP THESE NEIGHBORHOODS.
6:47:01PM THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WORRIES ME ABOUT THIS.
6:47:05PM I AM VERY PLEASED, AGAIN, I THINK YOU HAVE LISTENED TO THE
6:47:09PM PAST DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE DESIGN OF THESE BUILDINGS.
6:47:13PM AGAIN, THE RELIEF THAT YOU PROVIDED AND SOME OF THE OTHER
6:47:16PM CONSIDERATIONS.
6:47:20PM BUT I JUST THINK THAT THE PARCEL ITSELF IS PROBLEMATIC.
6:47:25PM AGAIN, TRYING TO PUT WHAT MAY BE A FINE PROJECT SOMEWHERE
6:47:28PM ELSE, BUT NOT ON THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY.
6:47:31PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
6:47:32PM ANYBODY ELSE?
6:47:32PM I'LL ASK FOR -- WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND READ
6:47:38PM THIS.
6:47:38PM I BELIEVE I LEFT OFF WITH COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK.
6:47:41PM WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ THIS ITEM?
6:47:45PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I'M GOING TO MOVE TO DENY REZ-23-66 FOR THE
6:47:50PM PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4904 WEST PAUL AVENUE AND FOLIO
6:47:56PM 131914.0000 DUE TO FAILURE OF THE APPLICANT TO MEET ITS
6:48:02PM BURDEN OF PROOF TO PROVIDE COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL
6:48:04PM EVIDENCE THAT THE DEVELOPMENT AS CONDITIONED AND SHOWN ON
6:48:07PM THE SITE PLAN IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND
6:48:10PM CITY CODE AND THE APPLICANT'S FAILURE TO MEET ITS BURDEN OF
6:48:13PM PROOF WITH RESPECT TO REQUESTED WAIVERS.
6:48:15PM I ALSO ADOPT THE FINDINGS AND REASONINGS OF THE CITY STAFF
6:48:19PM REPORT SPECIFICALLY ON NATURAL RESOURCES.
6:48:23PM I ALSO FIND THAT FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE GOALS,
6:48:31PM OBJECTIVES AND POLICY IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUCH AS
6:48:35PM FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION 27-136
6:48:40PM PURPOSE OF SITE PLAN CONTROLLED DISTRICT.
6:48:42PM ALTHOUGH THE PROPOSED USE IS AN APPROPRIATE TRANSITIONAL USE
6:48:47PM WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE PROPOSED DESIGN AS SHOWN ON THE
6:48:50PM SITE PLAN DOES NOT PROMOTE OR ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS
6:48:54PM APPROPRIATE.
6:48:54PM FOR EXAMPLE, ONLY 5 OF 10 UNITS PROVIDE -- 4 OF 10 UNITS
6:49:00PM PROVIDE -- 6 OF 10 UNITS PROVIDE A FRONT DOOR OR ORIENTATION
6:49:04PM TOWARD THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AND REQUESTED REDUCE IN REDUCTION OF
6:49:08PM USE TO USE LAND BUFFER WILL NOT ACCOMMODATE TYPE ONE OR TWO
6:49:11PM BUFFER TREES REQUIRED BY CODE.
6:49:12PM THE NEED OR DESIRE FOR WAIVERS -- ALSO FAILURE TO COMPLY
6:49:22PM WITH CITY LAND DEVELOPMENT SECTION 27-139, SUBSECTION 4
6:49:29PM INCLUDING THE NEED OR DESIRE FOR WAIVERS NECESSARILY
6:49:32PM SUPPORTS THE FACT THAT THE PROPOSED DENSITY AND DEVELOPMENT
6:49:34PM IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THE SITE AND DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE
6:49:37PM LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
6:49:38PM MAINLY WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU ARE
6:49:44PM PRODUCING LESS DENSITY BUT CAN'T FIT IT INTO THE CITY CODE,
6:49:48PM THAT'S THE CONCERN FOR ME AT LEAST.
6:49:53PM I EXPECT TO SEE MORE DENSITY IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS.
6:49:59PM I ALSO -- I DON'T SEE WHY WE CAN'T -- FOR THE LACK OF
6:50:03PM DENSITY CAN'T FIT IN WHAT NEEDS TO BE FIT IN.
6:50:07PM THAT'S THAT YOU NEED A WAIVER FOR SUCH LOW DENSITY.
6:50:12PM THAT'S MY --
6:50:15PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IS THERE A SECOND?
6:50:16PM SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
6:50:18PM ANY OTHER DISCUSSION?
6:50:19PM IF NOT, I'LL ASK FOR A ROLL CALL VOTE.
6:50:24PM >> HURTAK?
6:50:25PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YES.
6:50:27PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YES.
6:50:30PM >> HENDERSON?
6:50:31PM VIERA?
6:50:32PM >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
6:50:35PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
6:50:37PM >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
6:50:38PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
6:50:40PM >>THE CLERK: THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY WITH HENDERSON
6:50:46PM ABSENT TO DENY.
6:50:48PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: THANK YOU.
6:50:55PM >> WE'RE MOVING ON TO NUMBER 8.
6:50:57PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: SAM THOMAS, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
6:50:59PM AGENDA ITEM 8 IS REZ 23-88, REQUEST TO REZONE 203 SOUTH
6:51:04PM MOODY AVENUE FROM RESIDENTIAL OFFICE 1 TO PLANNED
6:51:07PM DEVELOPMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL FAMILY TOWNHOMES.
6:51:09PM TURN IT OVER TO EMILY WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
6:51:22PM >>EMILY PHELAN: EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
6:51:23PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA
6:51:26PM PLANNING DISTRICT AND THE SOUTH HOWARD NEIGHBORHOOD.
6:51:28PM THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE COASTAL PLANNING AREA,
6:51:31PM SPECIFICALLY EVACUATION ZONE C.
6:51:32PM THIS IS AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
6:51:35PM IT'S LOCATED RIGHT HERE.
6:51:36PM THERE IS SOME COMMERCIAL USES ALONG CLEVELAND STREET, BUT AS
6:51:41PM YOU MOVE SOUTH AND EVEN FURTHER WEST AND EAST THERE ARE
6:51:46PM RESIDENTIAL USES.
6:51:47PM THIS IS THE MAP OF THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE.
6:51:54PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS RIGHT HERE.
6:51:57PM IT IS REPRESENTED BY THE RESIDENTIAL 35 DESIGNATION, WHICH
6:52:01PM DOES SURROUND THE SITE ON THE NORTH, EAST, AND SOUTH SIDE
6:52:04PM AND THIS PINK COLOR RIGHT HERE IS A COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35
6:52:07PM DESIGNATION AND FURTHER THIS PURPLE COLOR IS THE URBAN MIXED
6:52:11PM USE 60.
6:52:12PM THIS PORTION OF SOUTH MOODY AVENUE BETWEEN WEST CLEVELAND
6:52:16PM AVENUE AND WEST PLATT STREET IS DEVELOPED AT AN AVERAGE
6:52:22PM DENSITY OF 16.33 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE BASED ON 19 SAMPLE
6:52:24PM SITES.
6:52:24PM THE PD PROPOSES 26.14 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE WHICH IS
6:52:30PM CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE
6:52:32PM RESIDENTIAL 35 DESIGNATION.
6:52:34PM GIVEN THE PRESENCE OF SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED USE TO THE
6:52:37PM NORTH, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS DETERMINED THAT THE
6:52:39PM REQUEST IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING
6:52:42PM AREA.
6:52:42PM THE REQUEST WILL ALLOW FOR COMPATIBLE INFILL DEVELOPMENT IN
6:52:46PM AN AREA PLANNED FOR 35 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.
6:52:49PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ENCOURAGES ATTACHED SINGLE-FAMILY
6:52:51PM USES TO BE DESIGNED TO INCLUDE THE ORIENTATION OF THE FRONT
6:52:55PM DOORS TO NEIGHBORHOOD, SIDEWALK OR STREET.
6:52:58PM THE ENTRANCES TO UNITS 1 AND 2 ARE ORIENTED TOWARD AND
6:53:02PM CONNECT TO THE SIDEWALK ADJACENT TO SOUTH MOODY AVENUE.
6:53:05PM FROM THE ENTRANCES OF UNITS 3 AND 4 CONNECT TO THE SIDEWALK
6:53:08PM ALONG SOUTH MOODY AVENUE, MEETING THE INTENT OF LAND USE
6:53:12PM POLICY 4.3.6.
6:53:14PM A SIDEWALK IS PROPOSED ALONG SOUTH MOODY AVENUE, WHICH THEY
6:53:17PM CONNECT TO.
6:53:18PM THE REQUEST SUPPORTS MANY POLICIES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
6:53:21PM AS IT RELATES TO HOUSING THE CITY'S POPULATION.
6:53:24PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ENCOURAGES NEW HOUSING ON VACANT AND
6:53:27PM UNDERUTILIZED LAND TO ENSURE AN ADEQUATE HOUSING SUPPLY IS
6:53:31PM AVAILABLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF TAMPA'S PRESENT AND FUTURE
6:53:33PM POPULATIONS.
6:53:34PM THE REQUEST IS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPACT CITY FORM
6:53:38PM STRATEGY WHICH ENCOURAGES INFILL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE
6:53:40PM PROXIMITY TO TRANSIT AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES.
6:53:43PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE COASTAL PLANNING
6:53:46PM AREA, SPECIFICALLY EVACUATION ZONE C AND REZONINGS THAT
6:53:50PM INCREASE THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS SHALL MITIGATE ANY
6:53:53PM IMPACTS ON SHELTER SPACE DEMANDS AND ENSURE THOSE IMPACTS
6:53:56PM ARE MITIGATED DURING SITE PLAN REVIEW PROCESS.
6:54:00PM THE REQUEST IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE
6:54:02PM SURROUNDING AREA AND CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED
6:54:04PM UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL 35 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION AND
6:54:08PM THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS.
6:54:11PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANY QUESTIONS?
6:54:13PM THANK YOU.
6:54:16PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: SAM THOMAS, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
6:54:18PM WE'LL START OUT WITH OUR AERIAL MAP.
6:54:21PM SUBJECT SITE HERE ALONG SOUTH MOODY AVENUE.
6:54:39PM OUTLINED IN RED.
6:54:40PM IT'S JUST SOUTH OF WEST CLEVELAND AND NORTH OF PLATT STREET.
6:54:45PM THIS PORTION OF SOUTH MOODY AVENUE IS COMPLETELY DEVELOPED
6:54:48PM WITH EITHER SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED OR MULTIFAMILY USES, THEN
6:54:51PM ALONG THE NORTHERN PORTION ALONG CLEVELAND YOU DO HAVE TWO
6:54:55PM OFFICE DEVELOPMENTS.
6:54:56PM AS YOU MOVE FARTHER DOWN MOODY, THE PD AT THE CORNER OF WEST
6:54:59PM PLATT STREET AND MOODY MAY BE FAMILIAR TO SOME OF YOU.
6:55:03PM IT WAS APPROVED I BELIEVE IN 2022 FOR 12 MULTIFAMILY UNITS.
6:55:06PM AS YOU MOVE FARTHER SOUTH, YOU HAVE THE PUBLIX HERE.
6:55:09PM THEN ONE BLOCK TO THE EAST YOU HAVE THE SOUTH HOWARD AVENUE
6:55:13PM CORRIDOR WITH A MIXTURE OF COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL USES.
6:55:16PM ARGUABLY THIS AREA IS ONE OF THE MORE WALKABLE AND DENSE
6:55:20PM AREAS OF THE CITY.
6:55:21PM HERE IS THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.
6:55:27PM THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING FOUR UNITS.
6:55:30PM THE FRONT DOOR IS FOR UNITS TWO AND THREE ARE ORIENTED
6:55:34PM TOWARD THE NORTHERN PROPERTY LINE AND THE UNITS FOR ONE AND
6:55:36PM FOUR ARE ORIENTED TO THE SOUTHERN PROPERTY LINE.
6:55:39PM PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS ARE PROVIDED ALONG THE PERIMETER OF
6:55:43PM THE PROPERTY ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH THAT CONNECT TO SOUTH
6:55:46PM MOODY AVENUE.
6:55:46PM THEY ALSO CONNECT TO THE ALLEY IN THE BACK.
6:55:49PM THE MAX BUILDING HEIGHT PROPOSED HERE IS 45 FEET.
6:55:52PM 9 PARKING SPACES ARE REQUIRED AND 10 ARE BEING PROVIDED.
6:55:55PM ALLEY ACCESS IS BEING USED TO REAR LOAD THE UNITS 3 AND 4
6:56:01PM AND THEN DRIVEWAYS IN THE FRONT FOR UNITS 1 AND 2.
6:56:05PM ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A SIX FOOT PVC PRIVACY FENCE PROPOSED
6:56:09PM TO THE NORTH AND SIX FOOT PVC PRIVACY FENCE TO THE SOUTH, TO
6:56:13PM THE SOUTH IS A PARKING LOT THAT IS USED TO SERVE THE
6:56:15PM MONTESSORI SCHOOL THAT'S OVER TO THE WEST, AND THIS IS AN
6:56:19PM OFFICE BUILDING TO THE NORTH.
6:56:21PM HERE ARE THE ELEVATIONS PROPOSED OR THE ELEVATIONS PROVIDED
6:56:30PM BY THE APPLICANT.
6:56:32PM THIS IS LOOKING JUST SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE ON MOODY.
6:56:50PM THIS IS THE PARKING LOT THAT I WAS REFERRING TO SOUTH OF THE
6:56:52PM SUBJECT SITE.
6:56:53PM YOU CAN SEE THE MONTESSORI SCHOOL SIGN THERE.
6:56:55PM AS WE'RE MOVING NORTH ON MOODY AVENUE, HERE IS THE SUBJECT
6:56:59PM SITE HERE.
6:57:00PM THERE IS THE PARKING LOT I WAS REFERRING TO.
6:57:03PM SUBJECT SITE, LOOKING SOUTHWEST FROM MOODY AVENUE.
6:57:06PM THIS IS LOOKING WEST ON MOODY AVENUE DIRECTLY AT THE SUBJECT
6:57:09PM SITE.
6:57:10PM THIS IS LOOKING SOUTHEAST ON MOODY AVENUE TOWARDS PLATT
6:57:17PM STREET.
6:57:18PM YOU CAN SEE SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED, SEMI DETACHED HERE AND
6:57:22PM THEN YOU CAN SEE THE MULTIFAMILY OLDER MULTIFAMILY BUILDING
6:57:26PM THERE.
6:57:27PM THIS IS NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE WHERE CLEVELAND AND SOUTH
6:57:32PM MOODY MEET.
6:57:33PM THIS IS AN OFFICE.
6:57:35PM AND THEN THIS IS CONTINUING NORTH TOWARDS THE INTERSECTION
6:57:40PM OF CLEVELAND AND MOODY.
6:57:42PM YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THOSE COMMERCIAL USES ALONG SOUTH, ALONG
6:57:45PM WEST CLEVELAND STREET.
6:57:46PM HERE IS THE SITE PLAN AGAIN.
6:57:53PM DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION AND COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE
6:58:01PM APPLICATION AND FIND THE REQUEST TO BE INCONSISTENT WITH THE
6:58:03PM LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
6:58:04PM SEE FINDINGS FROM NATURAL RESOURCES RELATED TO THE WAIVERS
6:58:06PM REQUESTED FOR THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER REDUCTION AND REDUCED
6:58:09PM GREENSPACE, NOTWITHSTANDING STAFF'S FINDING OF
6:58:12PM INCONSISTENCY, IF CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THE APPLICATION
6:58:14PM MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN AS SHOWN ON THE SUBMITTED
6:58:17PM REVISION SHEET MUST BE COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
6:58:20PM READING.
6:58:20PM THESE REVISIONS WILL NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUES OF STAFF'S
6:58:24PM INCONSISTENCY FINDINGS.
6:58:25PM I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
6:58:27PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANY QUESTIONS?
6:58:28PM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
6:58:29PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
6:58:30PM AGAIN, IF MS. MAEHR COULD TALK ABOUT THE NATURAL RESOURCES
6:58:40PM WAIVERS.
6:58:41PM >> ERIN MAEHR, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
6:58:43PM YES, THEY ARE REQUESTING GREENSPACE WAIVER FOR THE
6:58:46PM MULTIFAMILY GREENSPACE.
6:58:47PM REQUIRED TO HAVE 1400 SQUARE FEET TOTAL FOR THE FOUR UNITS,
6:58:52PM AND INCLUDING THE VUA GREENSPACE, THEY ARE PROVIDING 719
6:58:56PM SQUARE FEET.
6:58:57PM SO THEY ARE PROVIDING LESS THAN HALF OF WHAT'S REQUIRED BY
6:59:01PM CODE.
6:59:01PM AND THEN THE CODE ALSO REQUIRES 15-FOOT USE TO USE LANDSCAPE
6:59:05PM BUFFERS BETWEEN A PARKING LOT TO THE SOUTH AND THE OFFICE TO
6:59:08PM THE NORTH.
6:59:09PM AND THEY ARE REQUESTING ZERO.
6:59:11PM THE APPLICANT MAY DISCUSS WITH YOU ABOUT FLIPPING THIS LAWN
6:59:16PM STRIP WITH THE SIDEWALK AT THE TIME OF PERMITTING IF IT'S
6:59:19PM APPROVED.
6:59:20PM TO ALLOW LIKE A GREATER -- IT WILL BE LESS OF A WAIVER BUT
6:59:26PM THEY ARE STILL REQUESTING THE FULL WAIVER NOW, BUT THEY
6:59:29PM COULD POTENTIALLY DO THAT AT A LATER TIME.
6:59:32PM HOWEVER, YES, IT'S A ZERO FOOT USE TO USE LANDSCAPE BUFFER
6:59:36PM AND THE CODE REQUIRES 15.
6:59:38PM THE LAWN STRIPS THEY ARE PROVIDING ARE TWO AND A HALF FEET
6:59:42PM WIDE, WHICH IS VERY NARROW.
6:59:45PM WHILE THE SITE DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF TREES ON IT, MANY OF
6:59:48PM THE TREES ARE EXEMPT SPECIES AND DON'T REQUIRE REPLACEMENT
6:59:52PM TREES.
6:59:53PM THE CODE DOES REQUIRE FIVE TREES BY CODE AND TWO AND A HALF
6:59:56PM FEET IS A REALLY NARROW STRIP TO PLANT ANY TREES IN.
7:00:02PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
7:00:03PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE?
7:00:03PM NO.

7:02:16PM THE QUESTION IS, WHAT IS THE PUBLIC -- HE'S REPRESENTING --
7:02:19PM DID YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING?
7:02:21PM >> CATE WELLS, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.

7:02:25PM ALLOWS THE PUBLIC TO COMMENT ON IT, ESPECIALLY IF THEY CAME

7:02:30PM THAT'S TYPICALLY DONE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE AGENDA WHEN

7:03:46PM LaCHONE DOCK, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
7:03:48PM ITEM 9 IS REZ-23-111.
7:03:52PM PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4001 WEST CORONA STREET.
7:03:56PM THE APPLICANT IS REPRESENTED BY JOHN LAROCCA.
7:03:59PM THIS IS A REQUEST TO REZONE PROPERTY FROM RS 60 RESIDENTIAL
7:04:02PM SINGLE-FAMILY TO RS 50, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY.
7:04:05PM I'LL TURN IT OVER TO EMILY TO GIVE HER REPORT AND I'LL COME
7:04:09PM BACK AND GIVE MY REPORT.
7:04:10PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:04:11PM GO AHEAD.
7:04:11PM >>EMILY PHELAN: EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
7:04:14PM BEFORE I BEGIN MY PRESENTATION, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE
7:04:19PM FUTURE LAND USE MAP WAS NOT ATTACHED TO OUR REPORT, SO I
7:04:23PM WOULD LIKE TO ENTER THAT INTO THE RECORD.
7:04:25PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:04:33PM >>EMILY PHELAN: THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE SOUTH
7:04:35PM TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT IN THE VIRGINIA PARK NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:04:38PM IT'S LOCATED WITHIN THE COASTAL PLANNING AREA, SPECIFICALLY
7:04:41PM EVACUATION ZONE B.
7:04:42PM THIS IS AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE LOCATED HERE.
7:04:46PM THE SURROUNDING AREA IS CHARACTERIZED BY SINGLE-FAMILY
7:04:48PM DETACHED, AND IT SURROUNDS THE SITE.
7:04:51PM FURTHER EAST TO SOUTH DALE MABRY ARE COMMERCIAL USES.
7:04:54PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED HERE.
7:05:00PM REPRESENTED BY THE RESIDENTIAL 10 FUTURE LAND USE
7:05:03PM DESIGNATION WHICH DOES SURROUND THE SITE ON ALL SIDES.
7:05:06PM THIS PORTION OF WEST CORONA STREET BETWEEN SOUTH GRADY
7:05:09PM AVENUE AND SOUTH CLARK AVENUE, EXCLUDING THE SUBJECT SITE,
7:05:13PM HAS AN EXISTING AVERAGE DENSITY OF 5.51 UNITS PER ACRE BASED
7:05:17PM ON 16 SAMPLE SITES.
7:05:18PM THE EXISTING DENSITY IS 55% OF THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER
7:05:22PM THE RESIDENTIAL 10 DESIGNATION.
7:05:24PM THE PROPOSED REZONING WILL ALLOW CONSIDERATION OF TWO
7:05:27PM SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED ZONING LOTS AT A DENSITY OF 6.45
7:05:32PM UNITS PER ACRE ON THE SUBJECT SITE.
7:05:34PM DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF SINGLE-FAMILY USES IN THE SURROUNDING
7:05:38PM AREA AND THE PROPOSED DENSITY, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
7:05:40PM FINDS THAT THE REQUEST WILL NOT ALTER THE CHARACTER OF THE
7:05:43PM SURROUNDING AREA AND IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THIS
7:05:46PM PORTION OF WEST CORONA STREET.
7:05:48PM PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE APPLICATION AND
7:05:50PM FOUND NO ADVERSE IMPACTS TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:05:53PM THE REZONING WILL ALLOW FOR BETTER UTILIZATION OF A LAND
7:05:57PM THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE
7:05:59PM RESIDENTIAL 10 DESIGNATION.
7:06:01PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ALSO RECOGNIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF
7:06:03PM SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS AND SEEKS TO PROMOTE COMPATIBLE
7:06:07PM REDEVELOPMENT OF NEIGHBORHOODS TO ENSURE ECONOMIC HEALTH AND
7:06:10PM THAT AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF LAND IS PLANNED FOR THE CITY'S
7:06:13PM GROWING POPULATION.
7:06:14PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS ALSO WITHIN PROXIMITY TO TRANSIT IN AN
7:06:17PM AREA WHERE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT
7:06:20PM DIVERSE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES SHOULD BE PROVIDED.
7:06:22PM SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN COASTAL PLANNING AREA AND
7:06:26PM EVACUATION ZONE B AND AS SUCH REZONINGS THAT INCREASE THE
7:06:29PM NUMBER OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS SHALL MITIGATE ANY IMPACTS --
7:06:34PM ANY IMPACTS ON SHELTER SPACE DEMANDS AND ENSURE THOSE
7:06:37PM IMPACTS ARE MET DURING THE SITE PLAN REVIEW PROCESS.
7:06:40PM THE PROPOSED REZONING IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE
7:06:43PM DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LONG-RANGE
7:06:45PM DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ENCOURAGED UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL 10
7:06:50PM FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
7:06:51PM AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
7:06:52PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:06:53PM YES, MA'AM.
7:06:56PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THANK YOU AGAIN, COUNCIL.
7:06:58PM LaCHONE DOCK, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
7:06:59PM SO THIS IS REZ 23-111.
7:07:03PM AS MENTIONED EARLIER, SO THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE THE
7:07:05PM PROPERTY TO RS 50.
7:07:07PM SO THE SITE CURRENTLY MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 113 FEET IN
7:07:10PM FRONTAGE AND THIS IS ON WEST CORONA STREET AND 120 FEET IN
7:07:14PM DEPTH ON GRADY AVENUE.
7:07:17PM I COULD PUT UP THE PLAT JUST TO SHOW YOU.
7:07:23PM THESE ARE THE LOTS, LOT 45 AND LOT 23 AND 24.
7:07:33PM YOU CAN SEE THE PLATTED WIDTH OF THIS LOT IS 52 FEET AND
7:07:37PM THEN THIS LOT IS 61.5.
7:07:41PM THE REST OF THE BLOCK IS 50 FEET, EXCEPT FOR THE LOTS THAT
7:07:45PM ARE ON THE END.
7:07:47PM AND THE LOTS WERE ORIGINALLY PLATTED, AS MENTIONED, IT'S AT
7:07:54PM 52 FEET IN WIDTH FOR LOT 23 AND 61.5 FEET IN WIDTH AND
7:08:02PM THAT'S FOR LOT 24.
7:08:03PM THE REQUEST IS TO SPLIT THE LOT AND THIS WOULD CREATE TWO
7:08:07PM LOTS IN AN RS 50 ZONE, MINIMUM LOT WIDTH REQUIRED IS 50 FEET
7:08:11PM OF FRONTAGE AND 5,000 SQUARE FEET OF LOT AREA IS REQUIRED
7:08:16PM FOR EACH LOT.
7:08:16PM WHICH IS DEVELOPED IN THAT ZONE.
7:08:20PM SO I HAVE THE AERIAL MAP TO PROVIDE FOR YOU OF THE SUBJECT
7:08:25PM SITE.
7:08:26PM THIS IS THE SITE LOCATED HERE ON THE CORNER.
7:08:35PM THIS IS CORONA STREET.
7:08:36PM AND THIS IS GRADY AVENUE.
7:08:39PM JUST FOR REFERENCE, THIS IS CHURCH AVENUE THAT'S LOCATED
7:08:43PM HERE.
7:08:43PM SO YOU CAN SEE THE RS 60 ZONING SURROUNDING THE SITE, YOU
7:08:47PM HAVE A COUPLE OF RS 50 ZONINGS LOCATED TO THE SOUTH.
7:08:51PM AND THEN NORTH IS RS 50.
7:08:54PM SOME OF THESE PDs WHICH HAVE THE RS 50 OR THE 50 FEET IN
7:09:00PM WIDTH DEVELOPMENT PATTERN.
7:09:02PM NEXT IS THE CONFORMING MAP.
7:09:06PM SO IF WE COULD LEAVE THIS UP WHILE I READ THE ANALYSIS ON
7:09:10PM THE SITE. THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE.
7:09:14PM THIS IDENTIFIED HERE IN THE BLACK HATCHED AREA ON THE CORNER
7:09:18PM OF CORONA AND GRADY.
7:09:20PM SO THE SUBJECT SITE WAS ORIGINALLY PLATTED IN 1925.
7:09:23PM IT IS A PART OF THE MARYLAND MANOR SECOND UNIT.
7:09:28PM LOT 23 AND 24 OF BLOCK 45.
7:09:31PM AREA OF ANALYSIS INCLUDED 538 LOTS.
7:09:34PM WITH 161 OR 30% OF THOSE LOTS HAVING BEEN DEVELOPED WITH A
7:09:40PM WIDTH OF 59.99 FEET OR LESS.
7:09:43PM AND 377, OR 70%, HAVING BEEN DEVELOPED WITH A WIDTH OF 60
7:09:49PM FEET OR GREATER.
7:09:50PM PURSUANT TO REVIEW OF THE SURROUNDING AREA, ONE BLOCK EAST
7:09:53PM OF THE SUBJECT SITE, THE BLOCK ON WEST CORONA STREET BETWEEN
7:09:57PM SOUTH GRADY AVENUE AND SOUTH CHURCH AVENUE CONTAIN 17 TOTAL
7:10:01PM ZONING LOTS WITH 11 OR 65 PERCENT HAVING BEEN DEVELOPED WITH
7:10:05PM A WIDTH OF 60 FEET OR GREATER AND 6 OR 35 PERCENT HAVING
7:10:10PM BEEN DEVELOPED AT A WIDTH OF 59.99 FEET OR LESS.
7:10:14PM ANALYZING THE BLOCK ON WEST CORONA STREET FROM SOUTH CLARK
7:10:18PM TO SOUTH GRADY AVENUES CONTAINS 17 TOTAL ZONING LOTS.
7:10:23PM AND THIS INCLUDES THE SUBJECT SITE, WITH 10 OR 59% HAVING
7:10:27PM BEEN DEVELOPED WITH A WIDTH OF 60 FEET OR GREATER AND 7 OR
7:10:31PM 41% HAVING BEEN DEVELOPED AT A WIDTH OF 59.99 FEET OR LESS.
7:10:36PM ON THE NORTH SIDE ON THE BLOCK FACE OF WEST CORONA STREET,
7:10:40PM THIS IS FROM SOUTH CLARK AVENUE TO SOUTH GRADY AVENUE,
7:10:44PM CONTAINS NINE TOTAL ZONING LOTS, INCLUDING THE SUBJECT SITE.
7:10:48PM 6 OR 67% HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED AT A WIDTH OF 59.99 FEET OR
7:10:54PM LESS AND 3 OR 33% HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED AT A WIDTH OF 60 FEET
7:10:58PM OR GREATER.
7:10:59PM STAFF HAS IDENTIFIED 30% OF THE LOTS IN THE STUDY AREA, 41%
7:11:04PM OF THE SUBJECT BLOCK, 35% OF THE BLOCK EAST OF THE SUBJECT
7:11:07PM SITE AND ON THE STAFF REPORT AT THE BOTTOM OF PAGE 3 IT
7:11:12PM STATES 33% BUT IT SHOULD BE 63% OF THE BLOCK FACE ARE LOT
7:11:17PM WIDTHS OF 59.99 FEET OR LESS.
7:11:20PM AND WITH THAT FINDING, STAFF FINDS THE PROPOSED REQUEST
7:11:24PM INCONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE
7:11:27PM OVERALL STUDY AREA.
7:11:30PM ALSO IN LOOKING AT THIS AREA, TOOK THE NUMBERS BECAUSE YOU
7:11:35PM CAN SEE THE RS 50 ZONINGS THAT EXIST WITHIN THE AREA,
7:11:39PM POINTED OUT ON THE AERIAL MAP PLUS THE PDs THAT ARE
7:11:43PM LOCATED WITHIN THAT AREA.
7:11:44PM EVEN TAKING OUT THE RS 50 ZONINGS AND THE PD ZONINGS, THAT
7:11:50PM WOULD LEAVE A TOTAL OF 514 ZONING LOTS.
7:11:53PM 27% OF THOSE LOTS IN THAT AREA, 41% ON THE BLOCK, 35% OF THE
7:11:58PM BLOCK EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND 66% OF THE BLOCK FACE ARE
7:12:03PM AT LOT WIDTHS OF 59.99 FEET OR LESS.
7:12:07PM SO IT STILL WILL COME OUT TO STAFF FINDING THE REQUEST
7:12:11PM INCONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN.
7:12:13PM AND I HAVE PICTURES OF THE SITE AND THE SURROUNDING
7:12:24PM PROPERTIES.
7:12:24PM THIS IS THE VIEW OF THE SITE.
7:12:33PM THIS IS THE EAST END OF THE SITE.
7:12:35PM THIS IS ACROSS GRADY.
7:12:41PM THIS IS EAST OF THE SITE.
7:12:44PM CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
7:12:47PM THIS IS SOUTH OF THE SITE AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF CORONA
7:12:52PM AND GRADY.
7:12:52PM THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE SITE, THAT
7:12:58PM SAME HOME.
7:12:59PM THIS IS SOUTH OF THE SITE.
7:13:05PM THIS IS ALSO SOUTH, AND THEN WE SWING AROUND, THIS IS WEST
7:13:11PM OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
7:13:12PM AND THEN THAT IS ALSO WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
7:13:15PM THE DRC STAFF REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND AS MENTIONED EARLIER,
7:13:22PM THE FINDING IS INCONSISTENT.
7:13:25PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:13:26PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.
7:13:28PM I'M AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
7:13:29PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
7:13:30PM NO.
7:13:31PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:13:31PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
7:13:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR.
7:13:33PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
7:13:37PM >> GOOD EVENING.
7:13:37PM I'M JOHN LAROCCA.
7:13:41PM I WORK FOR LAROCCA CONSULTING, 3225 SOUTH MacDILL
7:13:45PM AVENUE, REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT, ARAM GULUZIAN, WHO ALSO
7:13:49PM HAPPENS TO BE THE OWNER, ONE OF THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY,
7:13:51PM WITH THE INTENTIONS TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY.
7:13:54PM FOR THE RECORD, I WANT TO STATE THAT THE REZONING STAFF
7:13:57PM REPORT HAD NOT MADE THAT CORRECTION, ALTHOUGH THE RECORD IS
7:14:00PM CLEAR AS TO WHO THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY ARE.
7:14:02PM AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, YOU'VE SEEN ME HERE FOR MANY YEARS, I
7:14:07PM DON'T TAKE THESE CASES ON LIGHTLY, ESPECIALLY IN THE MATTERS
7:14:10PM OF REZONINGS THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF BEING CONTROVERSIAL.
7:14:17PM I USUALLY FEEL VERY STRONGLY ABOUT WHAT IS CONSISTENT WITH
7:14:21PM THE COMP PLAN AND WHAT ISN'T.
7:14:23PM THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANT TO ADDRESS TONIGHT TO
7:14:25PM SUGGEST WHY THIS COUNCIL CAN FIND THE REQUEST APPROVABLE.
7:14:30PM WITH THAT SAID, AGAIN, I ALWAYS APPRECIATE THE DETAIL
7:14:34PM PREPARED BY BOTH THE DEVELOPMENT STAFF WITH THE CITY AND THE
7:14:40PM PLANNING COMMISSION.
7:14:40PM IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS AREA IS DESIGNATED
7:14:44PM RESIDENTIAL 10 ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
7:14:47PM CITY OF TAMPA ADOPTS GOALS, POLICIES, AND OBJECTIVES IN THAT
7:14:52PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO ADDRESS DEVELOPMENT LONG TERM.
7:14:55PM WE ALL KNOW WHAT THESE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE LIKE.
7:14:59PM MARILYN MANOR UNIT NUMBER 2, PLATTED IN 1925 WITH THE
7:15:03PM MAJORITY OF THE LOTS IN THAT ORIGINAL PLAT BEING 50 FEET IN
7:15:08PM WIDTH, APPROXIMATELY 120 FEET IN DEPTH.
7:15:11PM LOTS IN EXCESS OF 5,000 SQUARE FEET, IN FACT, IN EXCESS OF
7:15:16PM 6,000 SQUARE FEET.
7:15:17PM WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE REPORT AS A WHOLE, THIS REPORT, EXCEPT
7:15:23PM FOR THE CONSISTENCY OF THE LOT CONFORMANCE, THE PROPOSAL IS
7:15:29PM CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S LONG-RANGE PLAN, THE RESIDENTIAL
7:15:33PM 10 DESIGNATION.
7:15:34PM THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING A REZONING OF THE PROPERTY FROM RS
7:15:38PM 50, FROM RS 60 TO RS 50 SIMPLY TO ADDRESS THE ONE PARTICULAR
7:15:44PM LOT THAT IS PART OF THE CURRENT FOLIO PARCEL THAT HAS BEEN
7:15:49PM OWNED UNDER ONE OWNERSHIP, BUT THE COMBINATION OF TWO
7:15:52PM PLATTED LOTS OF RECORD.
7:15:53PM THESE TWO LOTS WERE NOT SPLIT IN ODD FORM.
7:15:57PM IF YOU ANALYZE AND I'LL GET TO THE POINT ON THE CONFORMANCE
7:16:01PM MAP IN A MINUTE, IF YOU ANALYZE THE LOTS THAT EXIST IN THAT
7:16:04PM AREA BASED ON THE CALCULATION OF PARCEL COUNTS BY LOT WIDTH,
7:16:10PM OF COURSE, WITHIN THAT PARCEL, A CENSUS THAT WAS MADE OF THE
7:16:14PM 538 LOTS, A NUMBER OF THEM WITHIN THE BLOCKS IN THAT
7:16:18PM NEIGHBORHOOD ARE LOTS THAT ARE LESS THAN A HUNDRED FEET IN
7:16:23PM WIDTH, WHICH IMPLIES TO ME THAT SOME OF THE LOTS OVER THE
7:16:26PM YEARS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED OR COMBINED IN THOSE DAYS WHEN
7:16:29PM THAT AREA, MANY PEOPLE PURCHASED MULTIPLE LOTS THAT WERE
7:16:33PM PLATTED, LOTS OF RECORD AND THEY CREATED A CONFIGURATION OF
7:16:37PM LOTS THAT VARIED IN WIDTH.
7:16:39PM WHAT I THINK IS IMPORTANT IN THE CONFORMANCE MAP IS THAT 133
7:16:50PM OF THE PARCEL COUNTS BY -- YOU CAN PLAY WITH THE NUMBERS ANY
7:16:53PM WAY YOU WANT, BUT FOR PURPOSES OF COMPARISON, BUT LOT WIDTHS
7:16:59PM BETWEEN 50 AND 54, THE LOT COUNTS ARE 133 IN THE AREA.
7:17:06PM I REFER TO THAT AND COMPARE IT TO THE LARGEST LOTS IN THE
7:17:10PM AREA BY PARCEL COUNT.
7:17:12PM THERE'S 47 LOTS THAT ARE 100 FEET OR MORE OF WHICH THE
7:17:17PM APPLICANT'S PARCEL, THE FOLIO PARCEL OF THE TWO COMBINED
7:17:24PM LOTS EXIST.
7:17:25PM I COME TO YOU THIS EVENING REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT TO
7:17:28PM RECOGNIZE THE EXISTING LOTS OF RECORD.
7:17:30PM THE APPLICANT INTENDS TO DEVELOP LOT 24, AS LaCHONE DOCK
7:17:36PM MENTIONED, ON THE PLATTED.
7:17:38PM THESE ARE NOT LOTS THAT HAVE BEEN SPLIT IN SOME ODD
7:17:41PM CONFIGURATION.
7:17:41PM ONE LOT IS THE ORIGINAL PLAT.
7:17:43PM LOT 24, THAT IS IN EXCESS OF 60 FEET.
7:17:47PM THE ACTUAL LOT IS 7,380 SQUARE FEET IN EXCESS OF THE 60 BY
7:17:53PM 100 REQUIREMENT.
7:17:55PM THE INTERIOR LOT, LOT 23, IS 52 BY 120 OR 6,240 SQUARE FEET
7:18:02PM IN AREA.
7:18:03PM SO THAT LOT IS 8 FEET LESS THAN WHAT THE STANDARD RS 60
7:18:08PM REQUIRED WIDTH IS.
7:18:10PM WE'RE REALLY TALKING ABOUT LOT WIDTHS THIS EVENING.
7:18:12PM THE BLOCK FACE IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE, WHEN YOU LOOK AT
7:18:16PM THE CHARACTERIZATION OF THAT AREA, SIX OF THE LOTS OF THE 12
7:18:22PM LOTS WITHIN THAT BLOCK ARE DEVELOPED AND OWNED THAT ARE LESS
7:18:27PM THAN 60 FEET WIDE OR DEVELOPED IN THAT 50, 52-FOOT WIDE
7:18:31PM DIMENSION.
7:18:32PM SO IN THIS IMMEDIATE AREA, WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED BY
7:18:37PM RECOGNIZING THE TWO LOTS OF RECORD, IT IS THE APPLICANT'S
7:18:40PM INTENT, I REALIZE WE'RE DOING A EUCLIDEAN STANDARD ZONING
7:18:43PM THIS EVENING, THE INTENT IS TO DEVELOP EACH LOT IN
7:18:46PM ACCORDANCE WITH THE UTILIZATION OF THE STANDARD DEVELOPMENTS
7:18:50PM FOR RS 60, MAINTAINING FRONT YARD COMPATIBILITY.
7:18:54PM I REALIZE WE'RE NOT A PD PLAN, BUT THAT'S THE INTENT HERE,
7:18:57PM NOT TO CREATE ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE OUT OF CHARACTER,
7:19:00PM CERTAINLY WITHIN THAT IMMEDIATE AREA AND CERTAINLY THE BLOCK
7:19:03PM FACE.
7:19:03PM THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN AND THE RECOMMENDATION BY
7:19:08PM THE PLANNING COMMISSION, I COULDN'T HAVE WRITTEN IT BETTER.
7:19:12PM THIS PLAN IS CONSISTENT AND THIS PROPOSAL IS CONSISTENT WITH
7:19:15PM THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES OF THE CITY'S LONG-RANGE
7:19:18PM PLAN.
7:19:19PM IF YOU READ THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES COMPONENT OF THE
7:19:23PM RECOMMENDATION, WHAT MAKES THIS INCONSISTENT BASED ON THE
7:19:27PM ANALYSES DONE IN CASES LIKE THIS IS THE CALCULATION OF THE
7:19:31PM LOTS.
7:19:32PM BUT YOU'VE GOT TO DIG IN AND LOOK AT HOW EACH OF THESE
7:19:35PM INDIVIDUAL LOTS WORK.
7:19:36PM SOME OF THESE AREAS, A LOT OF THE LOTS, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT
7:19:39PM ARE ANYTHING LESS THAN -- OWNED THAT ARE LESS THAN HUNDRED
7:19:44PM FEET IN WIDTH AS IS MY CLIENT OR THE APPLICANT'S, MANY OF
7:19:49PM THOSE WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR SPLITTING BECAUSE IT'S
7:19:52PM VERY HARD TO DO THAT WITH REGARD TO HOW THEY ARE OWNED AND
7:19:56PM HOW THEY ARE CONFIGURED IN TERMS OF THEIR DIMENSION.
7:19:59PM BUT THOSE LOTS, FOR EXAMPLE, THOSE THAT ARE MORE THAN A
7:20:02PM HUNDRED FEET AND WHERE THEY ARE WHEN YOU LOOK, IT IS THE
7:20:06PM DARK RED LOTS, THOSE ARE LOTS THAT I THINK ARE QUITE
7:20:11PM JUSTIFIABLE IN CERTAIN CASES TO ALLOW THEM TO BE CONSIDERED
7:20:15PM TO RECOGNIZE HOW THEY WERE PLATTED AND HOW THEY FIT INTO THE
7:20:19PM CONFORMANCE OF THE SURROUNDING AREA.
7:20:21PM I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU TO LOOK AT THE REPORT IN ITS
7:20:27PM ENTIRETY.
7:20:28PM I THINK THE STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION DID A GOOD
7:20:30PM JOB.
7:20:31PM THERE IS IN MY OPINION A QUESTION WITH REGARD TO HOW THAT
7:20:34PM CONFORMANCE MAP IS LOOKED AT AND THERE ARE THOSE CASES AND
7:20:37PM WHY YOU SEE SOME CASES OF RS 50 AND PD IN THE AREA, WHY
7:20:42PM THERE HAVE BEEN ZONINGS AS SUCH GRANTED.
7:20:44PM IT WAS NOT OUR INTENT TO SEEK A PD BECAUSE WE WANTED TO MESS
7:20:48PM AROUND WITH THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THIS AREA.
7:20:53PM WE WANT TO CREATE TWO LOTS THAT WOULD BE CHARACTERISTIC OF
7:20:58PM THE AREA AND THAT UPON CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT WOULD
7:21:02PM NOT LOOK OUT OF CHARACTER IN TERMS OF THAT AREA AND WOULD
7:21:05PM NOT BE IMPACTFUL TO THE INTENT OF THE REZ 10 DESIGNATION.
7:21:12PM OVERALL INTENSITY OF THE AREA IS DEVELOPED AT ABOUT 5.5
7:21:15PM UNITS TO THE ACRE AS A WHOLE.
7:21:17PM THIS PROPOSAL WOULD TAKE TO US LIKE 6.5 UNITS TO THE ACRE.
7:21:22PM IN THAT CASE, I BELIEVE THE APPLICABLE IS APPROVABLE.
7:21:25PM I KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE HERE THIS EVENING THAT WILL HAVE
7:21:27PM THEIR OPINION.
7:21:28PM I'M GLAD -- I WILL BE GLAD TO OFFER ANY OTHER COMMENT.
7:21:32PM THE OWNER AND ONE OF THE OWNERS AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE
7:21:36PM THIS EVENING IF THERE'S ANY SPECIFIC QUESTION ABOUT WHAT THE
7:21:39PM INTENT IS IN TERMS OF THE HOME COMPONENT.
7:21:44PM HE WILL BE THE BUILDER OR PROPOSE TO BUILD ON THOSE LOTS.
7:21:48PM WE'RE HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.
7:21:50PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:21:50PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
7:21:52PM IF NOT, YOU SAID THE PROPERTY OWNER, THEY WOULD LIKE TO COME
7:21:55PM UP AND BE PART OF THE PRESENTATION?
7:21:57PM >> IF NECESSARY.
7:21:58PM THE REALITY OF IT IS TWO SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES THAT ARE BEING
7:22:02PM BUILT.
7:22:03PM THEY WILL BE BUILT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RS 60 SETBACK
7:22:07PM STANDARDS.
7:22:07PM THE HOMES ARE PROPOSED TO BE APPROXIMATELY 3,000 SQUARE
7:22:11PM FEET.
7:22:12PM AS NEW HOMES ARE BUILT IN THE SOUTH TAMPA AREA IN
7:22:14PM NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE THIS, WHAT WILL BE BUILT WILL BE
7:22:17PM COMPATIBLE AND NOT OUT OF CHARACTER WITH AT LEAST THAT
7:22:19PM IMMEDIATE BLOCK FACE.
7:22:21PM START COMPARING IT TO OTHER POCKETS, THERE ARE SOME BLOCKS
7:22:26PM THAT HAVE BEEN ACTUALLY DEVELOPED WHERE MORE THAN 50% OF THE
7:22:31PM BLOCKS HAVE BEEN BUILT ON THE 85 OR 90-FOOT WIDE LOTS
7:22:37PM DEPENDING ON HOW THEY WERE SPLIT.
7:22:39PM WE'LL ADD -- I ALWAYS ADVISE MY CLIENTS AND I UNDERSTAND
7:22:43PM CITY COUNCIL ALWAYS CORRECTS ME IF WE TRY TO TALK ABOUT
7:22:46PM DETAILS OF THE DEVELOPMENT WHEN IT'S NOT A PD ZONING.
7:22:49PM WE'RE GLAD TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND SHOW YOU SOME CONCEPTS.
7:22:53PM WE THINK IT WILL BE AN ATTRIBUTE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:22:56PM THERE ARE PEOPLE VERY INTERESTED IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD FOR
7:22:59PM SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES OF A CALIBER THAT IS
7:23:02PM APPROPRIATE FOR THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:23:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
7:23:05PM WE ALWAYS HAVE REBUTTAL.
7:23:06PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:23:07PM ALL RIGHT.
7:23:08PM IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, I'LL OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC
7:23:11PM COMMENT.
7:23:11PM IF YOU ARE HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 9, PLEASE COME UP
7:23:14PM AND STATE YOUR NAME.
7:23:15PM YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES UNLESS YOU HAVE A SPEAKER WAIVER
7:23:18PM FORM.
7:23:18PM AND THEN WE HAVE THREE INDIVIDUALS REGISTERED ONLINE.
7:23:23PM YOU ONLY HAVE ONE.
7:23:26PM WE'LL TAKE THEM AFTER THE IN-PERSON.
7:23:29PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:23:40PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: I SEE FOUR NAMES.
7:23:43PM JEN RICE.
7:23:45PM KELLY McQUEEN.
7:23:46PM JoANN McNABB.
7:23:48PM BARBARA WILCOX.
7:23:51PM BARBARA WILCOX?
7:23:59PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:24:00PM TOTAL OF SEVEN MINUTES?
7:24:05PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: YES.
7:24:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YOU HAVE A TOTAL OF SEVEN MINUTES.
7:24:08PM PLEASE START THE CLOCK AT SEVEN MINUTES.
7:24:12PM >> THOMAS CONNELLY.
7:24:13PM I'M THE CURRENT VICE PRESIDENT OF THE VIRGINIA PARK
7:24:15PM NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
7:24:16PM I'M SPEAKING IN THAT CAPACITY.
7:24:18PM GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
7:24:19PM I'M SPEAKING TONIGHT IN OPPOSITION TO THE PETITION TO REZONE
7:24:22PM 4001 WEST CORONA STREET FROM RS 60 TO RS 50.
7:24:26PM THE BASIS OF MY COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IS FOUND IN
7:24:29PM THE DOCUMENT IMAGINE 2040 TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
7:24:33PM NUMEROUS POLICIES AND THE INTRODUCTION THAT DISCUSSES, YOU
7:24:37PM CAN SEE THAT THERE ON THE OVERHEAD.
7:24:38PM THE DOCUMENT IS IMPLEMENTED VIA THE TAMPA MUNICODE CHAPTER
7:24:42PM 27 SPECIFICALLY 27-11 THAT MANDATES AN ANALYSIS OF
7:24:47PM HISTORICAL PRECEDENT PATTERN OF PARCEL CONFIGURATION WITHIN
7:24:51PM 1320 FEET, ONE QUARTER MILE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
7:24:55PM ONLY PROPERTIES THAT ARE WITHIN THE SAME ZONING DISTRICT MAY
7:24:58PM BE CONSIDERED IN MAKING THE DETERMINATION OF COMPATIBILITY.
7:25:01PM THE PLAT OF ORIGINAL LOTS THAT WAS ESTABLISHED IN JANUARY
7:25:05PM 1926, 98 YEARS AGO, HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS ANALYSIS.
7:25:10PM IT IS THE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT OF PARCELS, ZONING LOTS THAT
7:25:14PM MUST BE EVALUATED FOR COMPATIBILITY.
7:25:16PM THIS AREA OF VIRGINIA PARK WAS DESIGNATED AS RS 60 IN
7:25:21PM FEBRUARY 1987 VIA THE ZONING CONFORMANCE ACT THAT TAMPA CITY
7:25:25PM COUNCIL PASSED 37 YEARS AGO AND PRIOR TO THAT THE R-1-A
7:25:30PM DESIGNATION CONTAINED IN CHAPTER 43 IN 1956 CODE.
7:25:35PM THE 60-FOOT FRONTAGES HAS BEEN A REQUIREMENT FOR WELL OVER
7:25:39PM 68 YEARS.
7:25:41PM DEVELOPMENT STAFF HAS REPORTED THAT THE MAJORITY OF 73% OF
7:25:44PM THE PRECEDENT PARCELS ARE 60 FEET OR GREATER IN THIS
7:25:49PM 1320-FOOT AREA OF ANALYSIS.
7:25:51PM THEREFORE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH 27-11, THE CREATION OF
7:25:55PM SUBSTANDARD LOT SIZE OR SETBACKS WILL CAUSE EACH NEW LOT
7:25:59PM CREATED FROM THE ORIGINAL PARCEL TO BE A VIOLATION TO THIS
7:26:03PM CHAPTER.
7:26:03PM COUNCIL SHOULD ALSO VOTE TO DENY THE FOLLOWING POLICIES FROM
7:26:08PM IMAGINE 2040.
7:26:09PM LU POLICY 9.3.8, IT IS THE INTENT OF THE CITY THAT NEW
7:26:13PM RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS SHALL BE MINIMALLY
7:26:16PM DISRUPTIVE TO ADJACENT AREAS.
7:26:17PM TO ACHIEVE THIS, THE CITY SHALL ASSESS POTENTIAL POSITIVE
7:26:20PM AND NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS ON
7:26:23PM THE PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AND THE CHARACTER OF THE
7:26:26PM SURROUNDING AREA.
7:26:27PM STAFF ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING PARCEL DEVELOPMENT SHOWS 73%
7:26:31PM OF RS 60 OR GREATER ALLOWING REZONING WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT
7:26:36PM VIRGINIA PARK.
7:26:37PM OBJECTIVE 9.4, ACCOMMODATE THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF
7:26:41PM HOUSING IN DESIRABLE PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED URBAN AREAS HAVING
7:26:44PM CONVENIENT ACCESS TO REGIONAL TRANSIT WITH A MIX OF ACTIVITY
7:26:48PM PROVIDING CONVENIENT ACCESS TO FULL RANGE OF ACTIVITIES,
7:26:50PM SERVICES, AMENITIES, AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE
7:26:53PM WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE.
7:26:54PM VIRGINIA PARK IS NOT A PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED URBAN AREA AND
7:26:59PM HART IS NOT A VIABLE SOLUTION.
7:27:01PM IT'S A FAILED ONE.
7:27:02PM LU POLICY 9.41, ENCOURAGE HIGHER DENSITY MULTIFAMILY
7:27:07PM DEVELOPMENT IN PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED AREAS.
7:27:09PM ONCE AGAIN, VIRGINIA PARK IS NOT A PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED URBAN
7:27:14PM AREA.
7:27:14PM SINGLE-FAMILY AREAS, LU OBJECTIVE 9.5, MAINTAIN THE
7:27:19PM STABILITY OF THE EXISTING AREAS WHILE EXPANDING
7:27:22PM OPPORTUNITIES, ALLOWING THIS REZONING DOES NOT MAINTAIN THE
7:27:26PM STABILITY OF VIRGINIA PARK NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:27:28PM 9.51, PROTECT LOW DENSITY, SINGLE-FAMILY AREAS THAT PROVIDE
7:27:33PM OPPORTUNITIES FOR HOME OWNERSHIP ATTRACTIVE TO HOUSEHOLDS
7:27:38PM WITH CHILDREN, RESIDENTS THAT PROVIDE RESIDENTS WITH PRIVACY
7:27:41PM AND OPEN SPACES ALLOWING TO BE SPLIT DOES NOT PROTECT THE
7:27:45PM LOW DENSITY IN VIRGINIA PARK.
7:27:46PM POLICY 9.5.2, MAINTAIN THE CHARACTER OF SINGLE-FAMILY
7:27:50PM RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND DISCOURAGE THE DEMOLITION OF
7:27:54PM SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE AND DISPLACEMENT OF RESIDENTS IN A
7:27:56PM WAY THAT ENCOURAGES REHABILITATION PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES
7:27:59PM THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
7:28:01PM THE CHARACTER OF SINGLE-FAMILY AREA USES DEVELOPMENT AND
7:28:05PM DENSITY.
7:28:05PM THIS DOES NOT MAINTAIN THE CHARACTER OF VIRGINIA PARK AS
7:28:09PM EVIDENCED AND EXPLAINED IN THE STAFF REPORT OF THE 1320-FOOT
7:28:13PM BUFFER AREA OF THE EXISTING PARCEL DEVELOPMENT.
7:28:16PM LU POLICY 9.5.3, PROVIDE FOR DIFFERENT INTENSITIES OF
7:28:21PM SINGLE-FAMILY AREAS.
7:28:22PM BY ALLOWING THIS REZONING, THAT IS NOT IN THE CHARACTER OF
7:28:25PM VIRGINIA PARK, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWING DIFFERENT INTENSITIES.
7:28:29PM YOU'RE MAKING THEM ALL THE SAME.
7:28:30PM MAKING THEM RS 50.
7:28:32PM LU POLICY 9.5.4, UTILIZE THE SINGLE-FAMILY CATEGORIES TO,
7:28:39PM ONE, MAINTAIN THE CURRENT DENSITY AND CHARACTER OF EXISTING
7:28:42PM FAMILY AREAS, MEANING KEEP IT RS 60.
7:28:46PM TWO, PROTECT AREAS OF THE LOWEST INTENSITY OF DEVELOPMENT
7:28:49PM THAT ARE CURRENTLY AND PREDOMINANTLY SINGLE-FAMILY
7:28:51PM RESIDENTIAL USE OR HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL OR INFRASTRUCTURE
7:28:55PM CONSTRAINTS THAT WERE NOTED IN THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
7:29:00PM IN THE INTRODUCTION.
7:29:01PM SUCH AS ENVIRONMENTALLY CRITICAL AREAS.
7:29:06PM YOU CAN REFER TO THE APPENDIX.
7:29:07PM RESPOND TO A COMMUNITY PLAN POLICY FOR OPPORTUNITIES FOR
7:29:10PM REDEVELOPMENT OR INFILL THAT MAINTAINS THE SINGLE-FAMILY
7:29:13PM CHARACTER OF THE AREA BUT ALLOWS FOR GREATER RANGE OF
7:29:16PM RESIDENTIAL HOUSING TYPES SUCH AS ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS.
7:29:20PM THIS DOES NOT DO THAT.
7:29:21PM IT DOES NOT MAINTAIN THE RS 60 CHARACTERISTICS.
7:29:25PM POLICY 1.1.2, CONTINUE TO PROTECT AND ENHANCE SINGLE-FAMILY
7:29:31PM NEIGHBORHOODS BY PROVIDING TRANSITIONS BETWEEN THE
7:29:33PM NEIGHBORHOODS AND ADJOINING AREAS.
7:29:35PM ONCE AGAIN, IT WOULD TAKE AWAY FROM THE OVERALL CHARACTER
7:29:39PM AND LIVEABILITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:29:41PM IT IS OBVIOUS AND BACKED UP BY THE COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL
7:29:46PM EVIDENCE THAT WAS PRESENTED BY YOUR OWN DEVELOPMENT PLANNING
7:29:48PM STAFF AND THEIR ANALYSIS CITING THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
7:29:54PM AND CHAPTER 27-11 THAT YOU SHOULD VOTE TO DENY THIS PETITION
7:30:01PM TO REZONE TO RS-50.
07:30:08PM >> AND I SPOKE TO LACHONE EARLIER, AND SHE DISCUSSED THIS IN
07:30:14PM HER BRIEFING TO YOU, BUT I DON'T SEE IT.
07:30:17PM THERE WE GO.
07:30:18PM IN MY ANALYSIS, WE ACTUALLY TOOK OUT THE ZONES THAT WERE
07:30:27PM DIFFERENT.
07:30:27PM THE RS-50s AND PD.
07:30:31PM SHE POINTED OUT IT MADE A PERCENTAGE OF DIFFERENT BUT UPHELD
07:30:35PM THE CONCLUSIONS REACHED BY YOUR CITY STAFF.
07:30:37PM THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
07:30:38PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
07:30:41PM NEXT SPEAKER.
07:30:42PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
07:30:43PM AND DO YOU HAVE A SPEAKER WAIVER FORM?
07:30:47PM >> YES.
07:30:48PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
07:30:48PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: MICHAEL FANNING, SANDY SANCHEZ.
07:30:54PM TWO ADDITIONAL MINUTES, PLEASE.
07:30:56PM A TOTAL OF FIVE.
07:30:57PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM, PLEASE GO AHEAD.
07:31:07PM STATE YOUR NAME.
07:31:08PM >> HI, MY NAME IS CARROLL ANN BENNETT, AND I LIVED IN
07:31:12PM VIRGINIA PARK FOR 33 YEARS.
07:31:14PM I AM TREASURER OF THE VIRGINIA PARK NEIGHBORHOOD
07:31:17PM ASSOCIATION.
07:31:18PM 2018, DOZENS OF VOLUNTEERS WENT DOOR TO DOOR TALKING TO OUR
07:31:21PM NEIGHBORS OF THE EPIDEMIC OF LOT SPLITS IN VIRGINIA PARK.
07:31:24PM WE TALKED TO HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE.
07:31:28PM WE TALLIED THEIR VOTE ON WHETHER LOT SPLITS WERE IN
07:31:33PM CHARACTER WITH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:31:34PM THESE PEOPLE ARE EXPERTS ON VIRGINIA PARK.
07:31:37PM AND OVERWHELMING MAJORITY -- I WON'T GIVE YOU COPIES OF THIS
07:31:41PM TO MAKE YOU LOOK AT THIS, BUT THE DOOR-TO-DOOR FACE-TO-FACE
07:31:46PM CONVERSATIONS WE HAD WITH HUNDREDS OF RESIDENTS IN VIRGINIA
07:31:49PM PARK AND TALLIED THEIR OPINION ON THE -- ON THE LOT SPLITS.
07:31:52PM THE OVERWHELMING AUTHORITY HATED THE REZONING AND VERY
07:31:56PM STRONGLY BELIEVED IT HARMED OUR NEIGHBORHOOD'S CHARACTER.
07:31:59PM THEY ARE EXPERTS ON THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:32:00PM THE COMP PLAN SPECIFICALLY, REPEATEDLY MANDATES THE
07:32:04PM PROTECTION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S CHARACTER.
07:32:06PM THE CITY CODE SPECIFICALLY AND REPEATEDLY SAID THAT THE
07:32:09PM DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF A NEIGHBORHOOD -- THE DEVELOPMENT
07:32:12PM PATTERN CREATES A NEIGHBORHOOD'S CHARACTER AND SPECIFICALLY
07:32:16PM REPEATEDLY STATES THE 1320 FEET MUST BE WHAT IS CONSIDERED
07:32:19PM WHEN ANALYZING THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN.
07:32:21PM IT IS THE ONLY DISTANCE FOR ANALYSIS FOR THE CODE.
07:32:26PM 73% OF THE HOMES WITHIN THE 1320 FEET ARE CONFORMING LOTS.
07:32:30PM THEREFORE, THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS
07:32:33PM 73% CONFORMING LOTS.
07:32:34PM IN ADDITION, THIS STREET, CORONA STREET IS MAJORITY
07:32:40PM CONFORMING LOTS.
07:32:41PM WHY WOULD YOU CREATE NONCONFORMING LOTS.
07:32:43PM THERE IS NOTHING IN THE CODE THAT SUPPORTS GOING INTO A
07:32:46PM NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THE LOTS ARE CONFORMING
07:32:48PM AND PERVERSELY CREATING A NONCONFORMING LOT.
07:32:51PM THE CODE SPECIFICALLY SAYS YOU MUST NOT DO THAT.
07:32:54PM THAT IS WHY STAFF FOUND THIS INCONSISTENT.
07:32:56PM IN ADDITION, THERE WAS A HIDDEN POISON IN THIS REZONING THAT
07:33:04PM WILL HAVE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES TO THE MINI LARGE OAKS ON
07:33:08PM THIS PROPERTY.
07:33:08PM LET ME EXPLAIN.
07:33:09PM IN 2018, BUILDERS ASKED CITY COUNCIL TO REWRITE THE TREE
07:33:13PM CODE.
07:33:13PM A GROUP CALLED "TREE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING", SO CITIZENS CAN
07:33:17PM HAVE A VOICE IN THE PROCESS.
07:33:19PM WE MET -- WE MET ONCE A WEEK FOR A YEAR AND A HALF.
07:33:23PM WE MET WITH BUILDERS.
07:33:24PM WE MET WITH CITY STAFF.
07:33:25PM WE MET WITH CITY COUNCIL.
07:33:28PM THIS RESULTED IN A COLLABORATIVE TREE CODE THAT CONSISTED OF
07:33:32PM COMPROMISE FOR EVERYONE.
07:33:33PM ONE OF THE PAINFUL COMPROMISE OUR GROUP MADE IS SOMETHING
07:33:37PM THAT BUILDERS WANTED A TREE REMOVAL ZONE OR TRZ.
07:33:42PM THIS ALLOWS THE ADMINISTRATIVE REMOVAL ON A SMALL LOT.
07:33:45PM NO NOTICE TO THE NEIGHBORS.
07:33:46PM NO VARIANCE.
07:33:47PM NO APPEALS TO CITY COUNCIL.
07:33:49PM GIVES AUTOMATIC REMOVAL OF TREES ON LOTS WITH A FRONTAGE OF
07:33:53PM LESS THAN 65 FEET.
07:33:54PM THAT IS CRITICAL.
07:33:55PM LOTS WITH A FRONTAGE OF 65 FEET.
07:33:58PM THIS LOT IS LARGER THAN 65 FEET, SO IT CANNOT USE THE TRZ
07:34:04PM LOOPHOLE, IF COUNCIL CREATES TWO LOTS, IT WILL BE SMALLER
07:34:08PM AND THE BUILDER CAN USE THE TRZ TO ADMINISTRATIVELY REMOVE
07:34:12PM LARGE OAK TREES INCLUDING A GRAND OAK.
07:34:15PM THIS LOT HAS SIX SPECIMEN AND GRAND OAKS THAT CAN BE
07:34:18PM PRESERVED VERY EASILY IF ONE HOUSE IS BUILT TO REPLACE THE
07:34:23PM ONE HOUSE THAT IS KIMBERLEE CURTIS RECENTLY THERE, IF YOU
07:34:27PM SPLIT IT, THE TRZ IS AND OPTION FOR THE BUILDER AND THOSE
07:34:32PM LARGE OAKS WILL COME DOWN.
07:34:33PM NO TREE SURVEY FROM AN ARBORIST.
07:34:37PM SOME WILL BE IN THE NEW TRZ AND WITHOUT A CERTIFIED TREE
07:34:42PM SURVEY, THE BUILDER CANNOT.
07:34:46PM THE ZONING RUNS WITH THE LAND.
07:34:48PM NO MATTER WHAT THIS BUILDER PROMISES, THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO
07:34:52PM IT.
07:34:52PM A SECOND THREAT TO THE TREES ON THE PROPERTY.
07:34:54PM RS-50, A 25-FOOT FRONT SETBACK.
07:34:59PM RS-60, A 20-FOOT SETBACK.
07:35:03PM IN RS-50, THE TRZ IS FIVE FEET BIGGER.
07:35:07PM WE LOSE FIVE FEET OF GREEN SPACE, AND WE NO LONGER HAVE ROOM
07:35:11PM FOR TREES IN THE FRONT YARD.
07:35:13PM RIGHT NOW IN THE FRONT YARD OF THIS PROPERTY, THERE ARE
07:35:16PM THESE THREE LARGE OAKS.
07:35:18PM ONE OF WHICH IS A GRAND OAK, AS YOU CAN SEE THE FOOTPRINT OF
07:35:23PM THE CURRENT HOUSE LEAVES PLENTY OF ROOM FOR THESE OAK TREES.
07:35:27PM IF YOU GRANT THESE REZONINGS, THESE THREE TREES WILL BE
07:35:31PM REMOVED.
07:35:31PM EVEN IF THEY REASONABILITY IN THE TRZ -- EVEN IF THEY
07:35:35PM WEREN'T IN THE TRZ, THE SMALLER FRONT SETBACK WILL MEAN THEY
07:35:40PM DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM.
07:35:40PM THE GRAND OAK AND SPECIMEN OAKS ARE CURRENTLY THRIVING THERE
07:35:45PM AND THEY WILL BE REMOVED.
07:35:46PM IF YOU APPROVE THIS REZONING, YOU WILL BE CREATING
07:35:49PM NONCONFORMING LOTS IN VIOLATION OF THE CODE AND THE
07:35:52PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND GUARANTEE THE REMOVAL OF FOUR HEALTHY
07:35:56PM SPECIMEN GRAND OAKS THAT SOUTH TAMPA NEEDS FOR FLOOD
07:35:59PM MITIGATION, COOLING, AIR QUALITY, AND THE PREVENTION OF
07:36:02PM STORMWATER RUNOFF.
07:36:04PM PLEASE UPHOLD THE STAFF FINDING OF INCONSISTENT, PROTECT THE
07:36:08PM CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE OF OUR TREE CANOPY AND NONCONFORMING
07:36:13PM LOTS THAT ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH OUR VIRGINIA PARK
07:36:16PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:36:17PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:36:17PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NEXT SPEAKER.
07:36:19PM YES, SIR.
07:36:19PM GO AHEAD.
07:36:20PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
07:36:22PM >> BENJAMIN TURICK.
07:36:24PM I LIVE IN VIRGINIA PARK.
07:36:25PM I LOVED TO VIRGINIA PARK IN 2009 WITH MY WIFE.
07:36:29PM WE HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN.
07:36:30PM MY CONCERN IS A LOT OF WHAT I HEARD HERE TODAY.
07:36:33PM OUR NEIGHBORHOOD CONFORMS TO LARGER LOTS.
07:36:35PM THAT IS THE BEAUTY OF OUR COMMUNITY.
07:36:37PM IT'S OPEN.
07:36:38PM THE OTHER CHALLENGE IS THE FLOODING.
07:36:40PM ADDING MORE HOUSES AND MORE DENSITY WILL INCREASE THE
07:36:43PM FLOODING THAT WE ALREADY HAVE ISSUES WITH THROUGHOUT OUR
07:36:46PM COMMUNITY.
07:36:46PM FURTHERMORE, LAST YEAR, I KNOW THERE WAS A LOT OF TALK OF
07:36:50PM REZONING PLANT HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE OF OVERCROWDING.
07:36:53PM AND I KNOW THAT IS STILL A HOT TOPIC THAT WE WILL BE TALKING
07:36:57PM ABOUT.
07:36:57PM AND ADDING MORE HOMES TO AN ALREADY OVERCROWDED HIGH SCHOOL
07:37:00PM IS JUST A PRESS BEE FOR DISASTER.
07:37:02PM THANK YOU.
07:37:03PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:37:04PM NEXT SPEAKER.
07:37:10PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
07:37:11PM >> KEVIN DUNN.
07:37:13PM A RESIDENT OF VIRGINIA PARK AND ACTED ON THE VIRGINIA PARK
07:37:19PM ASSOCIATION BOARD.
07:37:20PM I WANT TO BUILD ON SOME OF THE POINTS THAT CARROLL ANN HAS
07:37:24PM SHARED, CONSISTENTLY QUERY WHAT IS YOUR PERSPECTIVE.
07:37:28PM WHAT IS YOU WANT.
07:37:30PM NOT JUST A FEW PEOPLE DEDICATING TIME PUTTING IN A LITTLE
07:37:35PM EXTRA WORK.
07:37:35PM JUST TO SHOW YOU --
07:37:36PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: TURN IT THE OTHER WAY.
07:37:39PM >> THANK YOU.
07:37:40PM A RECENT SURVEY FROM 2023.
07:37:42PM WE CONSISTENTLY HAVE DONE THIS WHERE 79% OF RESIDENTS, NOT
07:37:48PM JUST THE FEW PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE, OPPOSE LOT SPLITTING.
07:37:52PM THAT BEING LOT SPLITTING OF LESS THAN 60 FEET.
07:37:56PM I WANT TO REITERATE THAT.
07:37:57PM THIS HAS BEEN DONE EVERY TWO YEARS FOR A CONSISTENTLY OF
07:38:01PM CURRENT AND ACCURATE DATA TO HELP UNDERSTAND WHAT OUR
07:38:04PM MISSION AS THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION SHOULD BE FOCUSING
07:38:08PM ON.
07:38:08PM SO JUST ANOTHER.
07:38:09PM EVERY TIME ONE LOT IS SPLIT FOR THE PORT, YOU ARE CHANGING
07:38:15PM THE DENOMINATOR.
07:38:16PM YOU ARE MAKING THAT NEXT CALCULATION THAT MUCH EASIER.
07:38:19PM SO FRANKLY, EVERY TIME YOU DO CHANGE, YOU ARE MOVING THE
07:38:23PM GOALPOST FOR THAT NEXT CALCULATION.
07:38:25PM SO I PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THESE DENIED.
07:38:28PM AND BEHALF OF THE OTHER REMEMBER DENTS THAT OPPOSE LOT
07:38:34PM SPLITTING.
07:38:35PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR.
07:38:37PM STATE YOUR NAME.
07:38:38PM >> THANK.
07:38:38PM CARL WALKER.
07:38:39PM I LIVE CATTY CORNER ON WEST CORONA STREET.
07:38:44PM I HATE TO SAY IT, BUT I AM PROBABLY THE HISTORIAN.
07:38:46PM I HAVE BEEN THERE FOR 23 YEARS.
07:38:48PM I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE A HISTORIAN AT ANYTHING, BUT I
07:38:52PM WANTED TO SHOW A COUPLE OF THINGS HERE.
07:38:54PM RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME IS THE LOT OF MARY B. CRAFT.
07:38:58PM MARY B. CRAFT HAS ADDRESSED YOU.
07:39:02PM I WOULD DRIVE HER TO THE MEETINGS.
07:39:04PM SHE WAS IN HER 90s AND WANTED ME TO DRIVE HER THERE.
07:39:08PM SHE STILL DROVE.
07:39:10PM SHE PASSED AWAY A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, AND ONE OF THE MAIN
07:39:14PM THINGS SHE WANTED HER LOT TO BE A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME.
07:39:17PM SO SHE DIDN'T PUT IT FOR SALE.
07:39:19PM SHE LET HER HEIRS, A COUPLE OF PEOPLE BID ON IT.
07:39:24PM THEY BID ON IT.
07:39:25PM AND NOW IT HAS BEEN SOLD TO THE DEVELOPER TO BE JUST ONE
07:39:29PM HOME.
07:39:29PM BUT SHE WAS -- SHE WAS REALLY, REALLY STRONG AS FAR AS SHE
07:39:33PM DIDN'T WANT THE LOTS SPLIT.
07:39:36PM IT REALLY PERKED -- -- HURT THE AESTHETICS OF THE
07:39:41PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:39:41PM JUST A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS.
07:39:45PM YOU KNOW, I LIVE RIGHT -- RIGHT CATTY CORNER ACROSS.
07:39:49PM AND, YOU KNOW, IF THEY DO BUILD THESE UP, I MEAN, THEY ARE
07:39:53PM GOING TO USE MAXIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE.
07:39:55PM AND, YOU KNOW, IT WILL BE A ZERO LOT LINE.
07:39:58PM I AM TOTALLY AGAINST THAT.
07:40:00PM JUST LIVING THERE FOR THE LAST 23 YEARS, I THOUGHT THE
07:40:04PM TRAFFIC WAS BAD 20 YEARS AGO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU -- IF ANY OF
07:40:08PM YOU LIVE IN SOUTH TAMPA, YOU KNOW BAY TO BAY AND MacDILL AND
07:40:12PM WESTSHORE.
07:40:13PM TOUGH SLEDDING.
07:40:15PM IT IS ACTUALLY DANGEROUS.
07:40:17PM THAT WOULD BE A HUGE CONCERN OF MINE.
07:40:19PM JUST IT CONTINUES.
07:40:21PM AND HAS TO BE AN END IN SIGHT.
07:40:23PM SCHOOLS WILL BE ANOTHER FACTOR.
07:40:26PM ON CORONA STREET, THERE ARE CARS LINED ON THE STREET.
07:40:30PM JUST TONS OF CARS.
07:40:32PM THIS WILL ADD MORE CARS THAT ARE LINED ON THE STREET, WHICH
07:40:35PM I FEEL IS ANOTHER PROBLEM.
07:40:37PM AND AS -- AS AFOREMENTIONED SIX OAK TREES ON THE PROPERTY.
07:40:44PM AND I WOULD BE OPPOSED TO THOSE OAK TREES IN THE FRONT
07:40:49PM COMING DOWN, ESPECIALLY THE GRAND OAK.
07:40:51PM MOST OF MY NEIGHBORS WHO ARE HERE, IT'S GREAT.
07:40:54PM THEY EITHER ADDED ON TO THEIR HOME.
07:40:56PM THEY HAVE MADE THEIR PROPERTY OF 100 FEET -- 120 TO 100 FEET
07:41:02PM NICER, BETTER OR THEY HAVE DEVELOPED INTO ANOTHER
07:41:07PM SINGLE-FAMILY HOME.
07:41:07PM MOST OF THEM -- I KNOW THAT -- I KNOW THAT IT WAS 50 AT ONE
07:41:13PM TIME.
07:41:13PM AND EVERYTHING WAS REZONED TO 60.
07:41:18PM WE DID THAT -- WE DID THAT FOR A REASON.
07:41:20PM I WOULD BE OPPOSED TO THIS AS A LOT OF MY NEIGHBORS AND MANY
07:41:24PM PEOPLE WHO AREN'T HERE.
07:41:25PM I CAN NAME THE NAMES, BUT I KNOW THEY GAVE YOU THE LIST AS
07:41:30PM WELL.
07:41:30PM I THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
07:41:32PM AND HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.
07:41:34PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
07:41:36PM YES, SIR.
07:41:36PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
07:41:38PM DO YOU HAVE A SPEAKER WAIVER FORM?
07:41:40PM NO?
07:41:41PM GO AHEAD, SIR.
07:41:42PM STATE YOUR NAME.
07:41:43PM >> THANK YOU.
07:41:44PM MY NAME IS MICHAEL McNABB.
07:41:47PM A 50-YEAR RESIDENT AND PROPERTY OWNER OF PALMA CEIA WEST
07:41:52PM SINCE 1975.
07:41:53PM I AM A MEMBER OF T.H.A.N. AND A PRESIDENT OF PALMA CEIA
07:41:57PM NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
07:41:58PM WE ARE THE NEIGHBORHOOD DIRECTLY NORTH OF VIRGINIA PARK AND
07:42:00PM OUR NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE VERY SIMILAR.
07:42:02PM WE HAVE SIMILAR HOUSING, A MIX OF OLD AND NEW HOUSES,
07:42:05PM SIMILAR ZONING ISSUES, DENSITY, INFRASTRUCTURE PROBLEMS,
07:42:10PM FLOODING.
07:42:10PM WE ARE VERY SIMILAR.
07:42:12PM AND WE TRY TO WORK TOGETHER ON SIMILAR REZONINGS LIKE THIS.
07:42:15PM THAT'S WHY I'M HERE TONIGHT TO SPEAK AGAINST THIS REZONING
07:42:20PM ON CORONA STREET.
07:42:24PM NOVEMBER 23 OF LAST YEAR, I SPOKE AGAINST A VERY SIMILAR LOT
07:42:27PM SPLIT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ON CAM OFTEN ARE STREET.
07:42:29PM A CORNER LOT LIKE THIS ONE.
07:42:31PM A LARGE LOT.
07:42:32PM AND -- AND YOU VOTED AGAINST THAT.
07:42:35PM IT HAS BECOME FASHIONABLE TO BUY A LOT IN SOUTH TAMPA WITH
07:42:40PM ONE HOUSE ON IT AND THEN ASK YOU TO IGNORE THE ZONING IN
07:42:43PM PLACE AND SPLIT THE LOT INTO TWO BUILDABLE LOTS WITH A PD OR
07:42:47PM SPOT ZONING.
07:42:48PM VIRGINIA PARK AND MY NEIGHBORHOOD WANT YOU TO PRESERVE THE
07:42:52PM ZONING THAT THE CITY PUT IN PLACE.
07:42:54PM THE PROPERTY OWNER WHO HAVE BUILT NEW HOMES WITHOUT LOT
07:42:57PM SPLITS EXPECTS YOU TO ABIDE BY THE RULES THEY HAD TO ABIDE
07:43:01PM BY WHEN THEY BUILT THEIR HOUSES.
07:43:03PM NONCONFORMING HOUSE SPLITTING IS NOT IN KEEPING WITHIN
07:43:06PM CHARACTER AND PRESERVATION OF VIRGINIA PARK AS THE REPORT
07:43:10PM SAYS.
07:43:11PM NOTHING UNIQUE AND SPECIAL ABOUT THIS PROPERTY.
07:43:13PM NO HARDSHIP HERE.
07:43:14PM IF IT IS, IT IS SELF-CREATED.
07:43:16PM 50-FOOT PARCELS ARE THE EXCEPTION AS THE CITY ANALYSIS
07:43:21PM SHOWS.
07:43:21PM THE REQUEST TO SPLIT THIS LOT IS PURELY ECONOMIC.
07:43:24PM THIS IS A QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING.
07:43:27PM AND YOU MUST BASED YOUR DECISION TONIGHT ON COMPETENT AND
07:43:31PM SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
07:43:32PM THE CITY'S REPORT THAT DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS REZONING AND
07:43:36PM THE TESTIMONY BY THE NEIGHBORS IS SUCH EVIDENCE.
07:43:38PM SYMPATHY AND WISHES OF THE PROPERTY OWNER OR DEVELOPER
07:43:42PM CANNOT BE CONSIDERED IN YOUR DELIBERATIONS.
07:43:45PM YOU UNANIMOUSLY VOTED NO TO THE NOVEMBER 23 LOT SPLIT ON
07:43:49PM SOUTH CAMERON.
07:43:50PM I ASK YOU TO VOTE NO TO THIS REZONING.
07:43:53PM THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AND
07:43:57PM RESPECTING OUR ZONING REQUIREMENTS AND PROPERTY RIGHTS.
07:43:59PM THANK YOU.
07:44:00PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
07:44:03PM YES, SIR.
07:44:04PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
07:44:05PM >> NORMAN DEWAPE, WEST OBISPO STREET.
07:44:12PM I, TOO, MOVED IN THE YEAR 2000 AND HAVE BEEN THERE 23 YEARS.
07:44:18PM I LIVE IN AN OLDER BUNGALOW THAT WAS ADDED ON IT AND OVER A
07:44:23PM 100-FOOT LOT THAT WAS SOLD OFF A PORTION, WHICH WAS SOLD OFF
07:44:27PM TO A NEIGHBOR AND NOW MY LOT IS 90 FEET AND A VERY NICE
07:44:32PM SIZE.
07:44:32PM I WALK MY DOG PAST THIS PROPERTY AT LEAST THREE TO FOUR
07:44:35PM TIMES A WEEK.
07:44:36PM AND THIS IS ONE OF THE NICEST LOTS THAT I SEE AVAILABLE IN
07:44:43PM THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOODS, ALONG WITH THE ONE DIRECTLY ACROSS
07:44:47PM THE STREET THAT WAS MENTIONED SO BY MARY BAER AFTER HER
07:44:51PM PASSING AWAY.
07:44:52PM AND THAT LOTS WAS HIGHLY DESIRABLE.
07:44:57PM PEOPLE WERE BIDDING ON THAT LOT.
07:44:59PM THIS IS -- THIS WOULD BE THE SAME SITUATION.
07:45:02PM YOU DON'T NEED TO PUT TWO HOUSES ON THIS LOT FOR ANY
07:45:05PM ECONOMIC REASONS.
07:45:06PM ALL SORT OF TECHNICAL REASONS THAT HAVE ALSO ALREADY BEEN
07:45:14PM MENTIONED.
07:45:15PM I JUST THINK THAT IT WILL BE AN INJUSTICE TO ADD MORE HOUSES
07:45:20PM TO SUCH A NICE PROPERTY.
07:45:21PM THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
07:45:24PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
07:45:26PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
07:45:27PM YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.
07:45:29PM >> GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS NATHAN HAGAN.
07:45:32PM THE LOT SPLIT IS OBVIOUSLY COMPATIBLE WITH THE FUTURE LAND
07:45:36PM USE PERMITTED.
07:45:38PM THE DISCUSSION IS WHETHER IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE
07:45:41PM DEVELOPMENT THAT SURROUNDS IT.
07:45:42PM WHEN WE TALK OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE ONE THAT IS
07:45:45PM CURRENTLY ADOPTED FOR 2040.
07:45:47PM NOT FOR 1980, FOR THE FUTURE, NOT THE PAST.
07:45:51PM THE POINT OF THE PLAN IS TO GUIDE GROWTH.
07:45:54PM THE POINT IS FOR MORE HOUSING OVER TIME.
07:45:58PM POINT OF THE PLAN IS NOT TOO PUT ANY NEIGHBORHOOD IN THIS --
07:46:02PM IN -- TO FREEZE IT IN TIME, TO BRING IT BACK TO A PREVIOUS
07:46:06PM ERA.
07:46:06PM YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT A MAKE VIRGINIA PARK GREAT AGAIN
07:46:10PM STORY.
07:46:10PM THIS IS ABOUT MAKING TAMPA GREAT FOR THE FUTURE STORY.
07:46:15PM WE TALK OF PRESERVING NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER AND SPENDING AN
07:46:18PM HOUR TALKING OF LOT SPLIT IN ONE OF THE WEALTHIEST
07:46:22PM NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE CITY OF TAMPA, YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER THE
07:46:23PM BROADER PICTURE WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE.
07:46:25PM THIS IS ONE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND ONE SET OF PEOPLE.
07:46:28PM THE PEOPLE THAT NEED SMALLER LOTS ARE NOT BEING REPRESENTED.
07:46:33PM I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT WHEN YOU THINK OF LOT SPLITS TO
07:46:35PM CONSIDER THAT THE QUESTION HERE IS NOT REALLY SO MUCH ABOUT
07:46:43PM THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE.
07:46:45PM IT IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE BUILDING.
07:46:46PM IF THIS IS REDEVELOPED -- AND IT WILL BE REDEVELOPED
07:46:50PM EVENTUALLY TO SOMETHING.
07:46:51PM WILL IT BE A 5,000-SQUARE-FOOT, $2 MILLION, $3 MILLION.
07:46:57PM OR TWO 2500-SQUARE-FOOT HOMES.
07:47:00PM BY NOT ALLOWING HOSPITAL SPLITS IN NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE
07:47:03PM ALREADY WEALTHY, WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS YOU ARE TRYING TO
07:47:05PM PRESERVE THE INACCESSIBILITY OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD TO MORE
07:47:09PM MODERATE-INCOME PEOPLE.
07:47:11PM YOU ARE SAYING THAT TWO FAMILIES THAT CANNOT AFFORD A $2
07:47:14PM MILLION HOME IS NOT ALLOWED TO COMPLETE UNDER CITY RULES FOR
07:47:18PM LAND IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:47:20PM THAT THOSE PEOPLE ARE LESS THAN BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT
07:47:23PM WEALTHIER AND NOT ALLOWED TO COMPETE BY LAW.
07:47:25PM TO ME THAT IS IMMORAL.
07:47:27PM I WOULD SAY THE SAME DYNAMIC IS THE REASON WHY MINIMUM LOT
07:47:33PM SIZE AND LOT SPLITS ARE NEEDED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
07:47:36PM WHEN WE FIRST ADOPTED THE EUCLIDIAN ZONING 80 YEARS AGO.
07:47:40PM A REASON WHY SOME BIG LOTS ARE IN SOME PARTS OF TOWN AND NOT
07:47:44PM OTHER PARTS OF TOWN.
07:47:44PM THE REASON EAST TAMPA AND WEST TAMPA AND YBOR HAVE SMALL LOT
07:47:49PM SIZES AND VIRGINIA PARK HISTORICALLY DOES NOT.
07:47:51PM WE SHOULD NOT BE PRESERVING THE THINGS THAT ARE EXCLUDING
07:47:56PM PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF OUR COMMUNITY IN THE CITY OF
07:47:58PM TAMPA.
07:47:58PM WE SHOULD BE FIGURING OUT HOW TO MOVE AWAY FROM THEM.
07:48:00PM HOW TO MAKE HOUSING IN VIRGINIA PARK MARK MORE ACCESSIBLE TO
07:48:05PM MORE TYPES OF PEOPLE.
07:48:06PM A 5,000-SQUARE-FOOT HOME IS NOT A POLICY WIN.
07:48:10PM CONSIDER WHETHER A MEGA MANSION IS PREFERABLE TO TWO
07:48:15PM UNFORTUNATELY SMALLER McMANSIONS.
07:48:17PM I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MORE UNITS BUT AT A MINUTE MONEY, WE
07:48:20PM NEED TO SPLIT.
07:48:21PM EVERY LOT IN VIRGINIA PARK SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR SPLIT.
07:48:24PM THANK YOU.
07:48:24PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR.
07:48:27PM >> LAST BUT NOT LEAST.
07:48:29PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE ONE MORE ONLINE.
07:48:30PM >> GOOD EVENING, ERIC WEINSTEIN.
07:48:35PM THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
07:48:36PM 30-YEAR RESIDENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:48:39PM ERIC WEINSTEIN.
07:48:42PM I WANT TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION A NUMEROUS REQUESTS ONE STREET
07:48:47PM OVER IN THE LAST FEW YEARS.
07:48:48PM MOST RECENTLY, THE HOUSE -- OR THE LOT DIRECTLY NEXT DOOR TO
07:48:54PM THIS LOT WAS BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION FOR THE SAME REASON.
07:48:57PM MARY CRAFT OPPOSED, AS MOST OF THE RESIDENTS.
07:49:02PM THAT WAS NOT APPROVED.
07:49:04PM THERE HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN
07:49:06PM THE 30 YEARS I HAVE BEEN THERE.
07:49:08PM I DON'T SEE ANY 2500-SQUARE-FOOT HOMES BUILT THE
07:49:14PM NEIGHBORHOOD REGARDLESS OF THE LOT SIZE.
07:49:16PM I'M IN AN ORIGINAL STRUCTURE SURROUNDED BY VERY LARGE
07:49:19PM STRUCTURES.
07:49:20PM IT HAD A SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE IMPACT ON DRAINAGE ON MY
07:49:24PM PROPERTY.
07:49:25PM AND I WOULD ASK YOU TO BE CONSISTENT IN RULING AS YOU HAVE
07:49:29PM IN THE PAST WITH THE OTHER REQUEST IN THE GENERAL AREA AND
07:49:33PM NOT APPROVE THE -- THE REQUEST FOR THIS SPLIT.
07:49:38PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:49:40PM YES, MA'AM, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
07:49:42PM >> CASEY MARTINEZ.
07:49:43PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
07:49:46PM >> I LIVE ON THE STREET ON THIS BLOCK.
07:49:49PM I CAN SEE THIS HOUSE FROM MY HOUSE.
07:49:51PM ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE IN VIRGINIA PARK IS
07:49:56PM THERE IS NOT ENOUGH PARKING.
07:49:58PM YOU KNOW ANYBODY OVER THE AGE OF 16, EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN
07:50:02PM CAR.
07:50:03PM AND NAVIGATING THE STREETS IS LIKE AN OBSTACLE COURSE AS IT
07:50:08PM IS.
07:50:08PM WITH TWO HOMES LIKE THIS GOING IN.
07:50:12PM AND I AGREE, I WANT TO SAY, THERE ARE NO 2500-SQUARE-FOOT
07:50:17PM HOUSES BEING BUILT ANYWHERE IN SOUTH TAMPA THAT I KNOW OF,
07:50:22PM BECAUSE FOR THE PRICE THAT WAS PAID FOR THIS -- THIS
07:50:27PM PROPERTY, TWO 2500-SQUARE-FOOT HOUSES ARE NOT GOING TO TURN
07:50:32PM A PROFIT.
07:50:33PM AND IT IS ALL ABOUT PROFIT.
07:50:34PM AND I DON'T SEE ANY BENEFITS TO THIS LOT BEING SPLIT THIS
07:50:39PM WAY.
07:50:39PM THE ROADS ALREADY IN -- IS ALREADY IN BAD SHAPE.
07:50:45PM THE MORE CARS YOU PUT ON IT.
07:50:47PM 3.
07:50:48PM THE MORE -- YOU KNOW, THE WORSE IT IS GOING TO GET AS WELL
07:50:52PM AS DRAINAGE AND THE BIG THING IS THE SCHOOL SYSTEM THAT IS
07:50:55PM ALREADY OVERCROWDED.
07:50:56PM AND I JUST WANTED TO REITERATE -- I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE
07:51:01PM HAVE SAID THAT SAME THING.
07:51:03PM BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
07:51:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:51:07PM YES, MA'AM, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
07:51:09PM >> GOOD EVENING, STEPHANIE POYNOR.
07:51:12PM FIRST OF ALL, IF THEY BUILD TWO HOMES TO THE SETBACK ON THIS
07:51:15PM LOT SPLIT, THEY CAN BE 6,000 SQUARE FEET EACH.
07:51:18PM SO LET'S -- LET'S NOT FOOL OURSELVES THESE WILL BE LITTLE
07:51:22PM TINE TEST HOUSES ON THIS LITTLE TINY LOTS.
07:51:25PM YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN, BUT WHEN I WAS 16
07:51:30PM YEARS OLD, THEY REZONED THIS WHOLE AREA TO RS-60.
07:51:37PM MY GOSH, THEY DID SOMETHING THAT NOW MAKES SENSE BECAUSE NOW
07:51:40PM WE ARE GET DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD
07:51:44PM AND NOT FAR FROM IT.
07:51:45PM MAY NOT BE HERE YET.
07:51:47PM THE NEXT TIME FEMA COMES THROUGH, I WILL BET THAT IT
07:51:51PM PROBABLY WILL BE.
07:51:52PM I AGREE WITH MY FRIEND NATHAN ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING, THIS
07:51:55PM ISN'T GOING TO BE IT.
07:51:57PM AND I WOULD -- I WOULD VENTURE TO REMIND YOU THAT SOUTH
07:52:03PM TAMPA, ACCORDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE
07:52:07PM THE LEAST AMOUNT OF GROWTH.
07:52:08PM WELL, WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO THE NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN YET.
07:52:13PM I EXPECT THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO SAY THAT.
07:52:16PM I AM SURE OF IT AS A MATTER OF FACT.
07:52:17PM LET'S LOOK AT PUTTING DENSITY IN UNIVERSITY SQUARE WHERE
07:52:21PM THEY HAD 1% GROWTH THIS YEAR, BUT THE CITY WANTS ALL THE
07:52:24PM GROWTH.
07:52:24PM THE FOLKS THAT PLAN SAY THAT IS WHERE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO
07:52:28PM HAVE THE DENSITY.
07:52:28PM AND OH, BY THE WAY, PLEASE DON'T FORGET THAT WHOLE 35% OF
07:52:35PM OUR TREES ARE ALREADY GONE IN SOUTH TAMPA.
07:52:37PM AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WITH THOSE GIANT APARTMENT COMPLEXES
07:52:40PM THAT YOU KNOW I CAN'T STAND.
07:52:41PM THAT HAPPENED ONE LOT AT A TIME.
07:52:45PM ARE WE GOING TO LET THESE TREES BE VICTIMS OF GREEDY
07:52:52PM BUILDERS?
07:52:52PM THAT IS THE QUESTION.
07:52:53PM PLEASE VOTE NO.
07:52:55PM THANK YOU.
07:52:56PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:52:57PM NO ONE ELSE IN PERSON.
07:52:58PM I HAVE ONE INDIVIDUAL REGISTERED ONLINE.
07:53:01PM IS JOE ON?
07:53:03PM AND IF JOE IS ON, PLEASE TURN ON YOUR CAMERA, RAISE YOUR
07:53:07PM RIGHT HAND, AND WE WILL SWEAR YOU IN .
07:53:10PM >>CLERK: DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT THE TESTIMONY YOU ARE
07:53:16PM ABOUT TO GIVE --
07:53:21PM >> WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL WE SEE HIM.
07:53:22PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OUR SCREENS ARE BLANK HERE.
07:53:25PM IT IS SHOWING WHAT THE OVERHEAD IS GOING AND THE MAIN SCREEN
07:53:29PM IS JUST SHOWING THE MEETING.
07:53:30PM >>CLERK: CAN YOU SEE HIM NOW.
07:53:39PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.
07:53:40PM WE WILL SWEAR YOU IN [SWEARING IN]
07:53:48PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF.
07:53:50PM >> I DO.
07:53:57PM CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
07:53:58PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, SIR.
07:54:00PM STATE YOUR NAME.
07:54:00PM >> MY NAME IS JOE EIS.
07:54:03PM I LIVE AT 4006 WEST CORONA STREET, ACROSS THE STREET FROM
07:54:08PM ARE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
07:54:09PM THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME TONIGHT.
07:54:12PM I SEE A LOT OF MY NEIGHBORS IN THE ROOM.
07:54:15PM HI, NEIGHBORS.
07:54:16PM I'M HERE TO SUPPORT THE REZONING APPLICATION.
07:54:18PM I THINK SOMETHING THAT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER IN THIS
07:54:20PM DISCUSSION TONIGHT IS THE NATURE OF NOT ONLY THE LOT WIDTH
07:54:25PM AND THE LOT SIZES AND THE HOUSES BEING BUILT ON THE LOTS.
07:54:30PM MY OPINION ON THIS MATTER IS I DON'T BELIEVE A CHANGE
07:54:34PM FROM RS-60 TO RS-50 WILL MAKE THE SAME IMPACT.
07:54:42PM I UNDERSTAND SOME OF THEIR CONCERNS AND I AGREE WITH SOME OF
07:54:46PM THEIR CONCERNS, BUT ON THE WHOLE, THIS APPLICATION IS WELL
07:54:51PM WITHIN RANGE WHAT CAN BE BUILT ON THE RS-50 LOT.
07:54:55PM THE LOT SIZE IS MORE IN LINE WITH BEING A ANY NORTH IN THE
07:55:00PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:55:00PM IF YOU TURN ITS CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS AROUND IN LOT WIDTHS AND
07:55:06PM CALLING THAT AN R-50 LOT IS INCONSISTENT.
07:55:09PM I CAN MAKE THE SAME ARGUMENT THAT A 100-FOOT-WIDE LOT IS
07:55:13PM INCONSISTENT WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:55:14PM ON A TYPICAL STANDPOINT, THE -- THE 100-PLUS FOOT LOTS IN
07:55:19PM THE AREA ARE ACTUALLY -- I BELIEVE THEY ARE 47 OF THEM OUT
07:55:23PM OF THE 538 NOTED ON THE EXHIBIT IN THE STAFF REPORT, WHICH
07:55:28PM EQUATES TO 9% OF LOTS.
07:55:31PM IN REALITY, THIS LOT ITSELF IS AN OUTLIER HA AS IT CURRENTLY
07:55:37PM EXISTS.
07:55:37PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN NAILED A LOT OF THE ITEMS IMPORTANT
07:55:40PM TO THE FUTURE GROWTH OF TAMPA.
07:55:42PM AND I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING TO BE CONSIDERED HERE DURING
07:55:46PM THIS -- DURING THIS MEETING.
07:55:47PM I THINK OTHER THAN THAT, THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO ADD.
07:55:56PM THANK YOU.
07:55:56PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:55:57PM THAT CONCLUDES OUR PUBLIC COMMENT.
07:55:59PM YES, SIR, MR. SHELBY.
07:56:02PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: YES, MR. CHAIRMAN.
07:56:03PM MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY.
07:56:07PM I WANT TO BE FOR THE RECORD IS CLEAR, REFERENCE TO SURVEYS,
07:56:12PM POLLS AND PETITIONS WITH REGARD TO PEOPLE'S OPINIONS AND
07:56:15PM PREFERENCES.
07:56:15PM YOU KNOW AND I WANT THE PUBLIC TO KNOW AS WELL FOR THE
07:56:19PM RECORD THAT DOES NOT CONCLUDE COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL
07:56:23PM EVIDENCE.
07:56:24PM YOU HEARD EVIDENCE AT THIS HEARING THAT YOU HAVE TO APPLY TO
07:56:26PM THE CRITERIA, BUT FOR YOUR -- FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE, OF COURSE,
07:56:31PM AND FOR THE PUBLIC'S, THAT PEOPLE'S PERSONAL PREFERENCES
07:56:37PM ABSENT, SAY, AN EXPERT OPINION.
07:56:39PM THAT IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
07:56:40PM THAT IS NOT COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE AND SHOULD NOT
07:56:43PM FACTOR IN YOUR DECISION AS YOU WEIGH THE EVIDENCE.
07:56:47PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: LIKE JOE FRIDAY SAYS "JUST THE FACTS."
07:56:54PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION TO CLOSE.
07:56:56PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: TIME FOR REBUTTAL FOR THE APPLICANT.
07:56:58PM YOU HAVE FIVE-MINUTE REBUTTAL TIME.
07:57:02PM >> JOHN LAROCCA, AGAIN, REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT REBUTTAL.
07:57:05PM FOR THE RECORD, THERE WERE 12 PEOPLE WHO SPOKE THIS EVENING.
07:57:10PM TWO THAT SPOKE -- OR I INTERPRETED TO BE IN FAVOR OF THE
07:57:17PM REQUEST AND I UNDERSTAND THOSE OPPOSED TO THE IDEA OF LOT
07:57:20PM SPLITTING IN THIS AREA.
07:57:21PM I DON'T KNOW THE TWO PEOPLE THAT SPOKE IN FAVOR OR IMPLIED.
07:57:25PM BUT THE IRONY LEADING INTO THE REBUTTAL LIKE JOE DIAZ IS A
07:57:33PM GOOD SUMMARY OF WHAT MY POINTS THIS EVENING.
07:57:36PM OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE A COMP PLAN THAT ESTABLISHES GOALS,
07:57:40PM POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES.
07:57:42PM YES, CRITERIA OF DOING ANALYSIS FOR -- FOR THE AREA THAT WAS
07:57:47PM ANALYZED THAT YOU GET EVERY TIME ONE OF THESE REQUESTS COME
07:57:50PM IN.
07:57:50PM AND I THINK THERE ARE JUDICIOUS DECISIONS THAT HAVE TO BE
07:57:55PM MADE ON EVERY CASE INDIVIDUALLY.
07:57:57PM I THINK IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE LOTS,
07:58:01PM WHAT ISN'T ANALYZED IS ALL THESE LOT CONFIGURATIONS AND
07:58:06PM DIMENSIONS -- WHAT ACTUALLY IS BUILT ON THOSE PARTICULAR
07:58:10PM LOTS.
07:58:10PM THERE ARE 47 LOTS 100 FEET WIDE.
07:58:15PM I THINK IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT AN RS-60 ZONING OF 6,000
07:58:21PM SQUARE FEET IN THIS CASE TWO LOTS, ONE ONLY EIGHT FEET SHY
07:58:27PM BECAUSE OF 8TH.
07:58:27PM ONE OF THOSE CASES WITHIN THOSE 4700-FOOT-WIDE OWNERSHIPS
07:58:32PM THAT SHOULD JUDICIOUSLY BE CONSIDERED.
07:58:36PM AND WHAT CASES OCCUR WHEN YOU READ EVERYTHING TOGETHER.
07:58:39PM WHAT MAKES SENSE FOR SOMETHING THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED.
07:58:42PM IF THE COMP PLAN WAS CLEAR THAT YOU MUST PROHIBIT LAND USES
07:58:47PM AND NOT MAKE THESE DECISIONS THAT ARE JUDGING WHAT CASES ARE
07:58:51PM APPROPRIATE AND WHAT ARE NOT, I BELIEVE THIS IS ONE OF THOSE
07:58:55PM CASES WHERE IT IS APPROPRIATE.
07:58:57PM I BELIEVE THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER LOTS IN THIS AREA BASED
07:59:00PM ON LOT CONFIGURATION AND OWNERSHIP THAT MAY NOT BE
07:59:04PM APPROPRIATE.
07:59:04PM I DON'T KNOW, I HAVEN'T STUDIED THEM IN DETAIL BUT WE ARE
07:59:09PM NOT TALKING OF ALL OF THESE LOTS THAT WILL BE SPLIT.
07:59:12PM IT IS AN AREA OF UNIQUE CHARACTER.
07:59:15PM PRIMARILY LARGER LOTS AS THEY CURRENTLY EXIST IN OWNERSHIP
07:59:21PM THAT HAVE A VARIETY OF HOMES.
07:59:23PM PLACING TWO HOMES IN THIS AREA, WHETHER THEY ARE 2500 SQUARE
07:59:27PM FEET OR 3,000 SQUARE FEET APIECE VERSUS ONE HOME THAT WILL
07:59:33PM BE A HOME OR WHATEVER TERM YOU WANT TO USE IS NOT GOING TO
07:59:36PM SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGE THE CHARACTER OF THE AREA.
07:59:38PM I SUMMARIZE -- AND I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO EXACTLY, YOU --
07:59:43PM THE INTENT IS TO CREATE TWO LOTS MEETING THE SITE
07:59:47PM DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS OF THE RS-60 DISTRICT.
07:59:51PM BOTH LOTS ARE IN EXCESS OF 6,000 SQUARE FEET.
07:59:56PM ONLY ISSUE HERE IS THAT ONE OF THE LOTS IS EIGHT FEET LESS
08:00:00PM THAN WHAT THE CODE REQUIRES.
08:00:01PM IN FACT, ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT, THE APPLICATION
08:00:07PM ORIGINALLY WAS TO REZONE THE ONE LOT THAT DIDN'T MEET THE
08:00:09PM REQUIREMENTS, BUT FOR -- AND I GUESS TECHNICAL AND STAFF
08:00:13PM REASONS, WE TALKED ABOUT TYPICALLY ONE OWNERSHIP, WE DO IT
08:00:16PM AS ONE APPLICATION, THE INTENT HERE IS TO RECOGNIZE LOT 23
08:00:22PM AS A LOT OF RECORD THAT MEETS ALL OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF
08:00:26PM THE RS-60 DISTRICT EXCEPT THAT WIDTH.
08:00:30PM AGAIN, ONE OF THOSE CASES THAT, TO ME, SUGGESTS THAT CITY
08:00:35PM COUNCIL SHOULD GIVE IT PROPER JUDGMENT IN TERMS OF IT BEING
08:00:40PM APPROPRIATE.
08:00:40PM WE UNDERSTAND ALL THE COMMENTS MADE THIS EVENING.
08:00:42PM I UNDERSTAND MANY OF THEM.
08:00:44PM I WITNESSED THOSE COMMENTS.
08:00:46PM I LIVE IN PALMA CEIA NOT FAR FROM THIS AREA.
08:00:50PM WE WENT THROUGH A REZONING.
08:00:52PM AND I SUPPORTED ROAR QUOTE, THE DOWNZONING WHAT WAS
08:00:56PM PERMITTING THE POTENTIAL FOR DUPLEXES.
08:00:59PM THE REALITY IS MOST OF THE LOTS REZONED TO RS-50 AND MADE
08:01:06PM SENSE WHAT IS EVOLVING IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA.
08:01:08PM THIS IS ONE OF THOSE AREAS THAT I BELIEVE THAT CITY COUNCIL
08:01:11PM HAS TO MAKE A JUDGMENT.
08:01:12PM THERE WILL BE SOME UNIQUE POCKETS WITHIN NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE
08:01:15PM THIS.
08:01:15PM NOT UNIQUE TO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
08:01:17PM AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR CARS OF APPROVAL.
08:01:20PM THANK YOU.
08:01:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
08:01:23PM YES, MA'AM.
08:01:24PM IS THERE A REVISION SHEET?
08:01:29PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: NO, THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
08:01:30PM THIS IS A EUCLIDIAN ZONING REQUEST AND NO REVISION SHEET.
08:01:35PM BUT I WANT TO STATE FOR THE RECORD MENTION OF THE ZONING
08:01:38PM AND RS-60 AND MEETING REQUIREMENTS.
08:01:41PM THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS TO REZONE TO RS-50, RESIDENTIAL
08:01:46PM SINGLE-FAMILY AND THAT WOULD ALLOW THE LOT TO BE SPLIT.
08:01:48PM AND IT WOULD BE DEVELOPED AT THE RS-50 STANDARDS WHICH HAVE
08:01:52PM BEEN PROVIDED IN THE STAFF REPORT.
08:01:53PM THE REQUEST IS FOR THE RS-50 EVEN IF THE LOT IS WIDER THAN
08:01:59PM THE MINUTE MONEY 50-FOOT WIDTH IN THE RS-50 ZONING DISTRICT.
08:02:03PM THAT IS THE REQUEST.
08:02:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
08:02:07PM A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
08:02:09PM DOES THAT MOTION STILL STAND?
08:02:11PM >>LUIS VIERA: SECOND.
08:02:12PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
08:02:13PM WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL.
08:02:14PM YES, SIR, COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
08:02:16PM >>BILL CARLSON: I MOVE TO DENY REZ 23-111 FOR THE PROPERTY
08:02:23PM LOCATED AT 4001 WEST CORONA STREET DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE
08:02:28PM APPLICANT TO MEET ITS BURDEN OF PROOF TO PROVIDE COMPETENT,
08:02:32PM SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IN THE RECORD THAT THE REZONING IS
08:02:34PM CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND CITY CODE AND
08:02:36PM ADOPT THE FINDINGS AND REASONING OF THE CITY STAFF REPORT
08:02:44PM BASED ON WHOLE SERIES OF COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT
08:02:48PM BASS PRESENTED TO US, BUT ONE IS FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH
08:02:52PM APPLICABLE GOALS, POLICIES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN THE
08:02:58PM PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF THAT THE PROPOSED ZONING DOES NOT
08:03:00PM COMPLY WITH 9.3.8 WHICH REQUIRES RESIDENTIAL REDEVELOPMENT
08:03:06PM PROJECTS TO BE MINIMALLY DISRUPTIVE TO ADJACENT AREAS.
08:03:10PM FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE IN THE CITY
08:03:13PM STAFF REPORT REGARDING COMPLIANCE WITH GENERAL STANDARDS
08:03:16PM SUCH AS THE AREA OF ANALYSIS PREPARED BY STAFF, ESTABLISHES
08:03:20PM THAT THE PROPOSED REZONING DOES NOT PROMOTE OR ENCOURAGE
08:03:23PM DEVELOPMENT THAT IS APPROPRIATE IN LOCATION, CHARACTER AND
08:03:27PM COMPATIBILITY OF THE SURROUNDING AREAS.
08:03:29PM WITHIN 30% OF THE LOTS ARE DEVELOPED WIDTH OF 59.99 FEET OR
08:03:34PM LESS OR 41% OF THE SUBJECT BLOCK.
08:03:36PM 35% OF THE BLOCK EAST OF THE SITE.
08:03:39PM AND 33% OF THE BLOCK FACE HAVE LOT WIDTHS OF 59.99 FEET FOR
08:03:45PM LESS.
08:03:46PM THE CITY STAFF FOUND IT INCONSISTENT.
08:03:48PM THERE ARE CONCERNS OF SCHOOLS.
08:03:49PM THERE ARE CONCERNS ABOUT PARKING AND THE OVERPARKING ON THE
08:03:53PM STREETS.
08:03:53PM ALSO, THERE WAS COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE PRESENTED
08:03:58PM BY NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS REGARDING -- I COULD READ THESE,
08:04:01PM LAND USE POLICY 9.3.8, 9.5.1, LAND USE POLICY 9.5.2.
08:04:10PM 9.5.4.
08:04:12PM 13.2.6.
08:04:15PM OBJECTIVE 1.2.
08:04:18PM LAND USE POLICY 1.2.3.
08:04:20PM LAND USE POLICY 1.2.5, 1.2.10.
08:04:25PM AND 1.2.16.
08:04:29PM FURTHER, THE TAMPA HAS PRESENTED ITS CITY OF TAMPA MUNICIPAL
08:04:35PM CODE SECTION 27-11 SAYS IN PART, NO YARD OR ZONING LOT
08:04:41PM EXISTING AT THE TIME OF PASSAGE OF THIS CHAPTER SHALL BE
08:04:45PM REDUCED IN WIDTH DEPTH BY PRIVATE ACTION BELOW MINIMUM
08:04:49PM REQUIREMENTS FOR LOTS AND STRUCTURES AS SET FORTH IN THIS
08:04:52PM CHAPTER.
08:04:52PM NO DIVISION OR RECONFIGURATION OF EXISTING ZONING OR LOT,
08:04:56PM LOTS OF RECORD MAY OCCUR THAT IS A CONFIGURATION WHICH IS
08:05:00PM COMPATIBILITY INCONSISTENT WITH EXISTING LOT DEVELOPMENT
08:05:04PM PATTERN WITH A RADIUS OF 1320 FEET.
08:05:08PM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY LOTS OF RECORD MAY NOT BE RECONFIGURED
08:05:11PM IN CONFLICT WITH THE ESTABLISHED PATTERN OF LOTS WITHIN A
08:05:15PM RADIUS OF 1320 FEET.
08:05:18PM THE CREATION OF A SUBSTANDARD LOT SIZE WILL CAUSE EACH NEW
08:05:22PM LOT CREATED FROM THE ORIGINAL PARCEL TO BE IN VIOLATION OF
08:05:25PM THIS CHAPTER.
08:05:26PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN
08:05:28PM CARLSON.
08:05:28PM DO WE HAVE A SECOND.
08:05:29PM >>LUIS VIERA: SECOND.
08:05:30PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ROLL CALL VOTE.
08:05:33PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: LET ME SPEAK, IF I MAY.
08:05:35PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
08:05:37PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I KNOW SOME OF YOU HAVE SPOKEN HERE
08:05:40PM PRETTY WELL.
08:05:41PM AND IF THERE IS TO BE A STUDY TO BE MADE, THERE IS A STUDY
08:05:47PM ON WHAT IS HAPPENING NORTH OF KENNEDY AND SOUTH OF KENNEDY.
08:05:50PM YOU SEE, SITTING HERE AND LISTENING AND UNDERSTANDING AND I
08:05:55PM APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN.
08:05:57PM BUT THINGS THAT WERE MENTIONED ABOUT FLOODING AND STUFF OF
08:06:01PM THAT NATURE.
08:06:02PM SUPPOSEDLY -- LET ME USE THAT WORD VERY CAREFULLY,
08:06:05PM SUPPOSEDLY UNDER THE NEW CONSTRUCTION AREAS, YOU ARE
08:06:08PM SUPPOSED TO HOLD YOUR WATER ON YOUR LAND.
08:06:10PM AND I ASSUME THEY DO THAT BE.
08:06:12PM BUT I AM NOT SURE.
08:06:13PM DON'T CHECK ON A REGULAR BASIS.
08:06:19PM HOWEVER, WE WANT TO DO STUDIES, LET'S STUDY HOW MANY LOT
08:06:24PM SPLITS ARE DONE NORTH OF KENNEDY.
08:06:27PM AND HOW MANY LOT SPLITS ARE DONE SOUTH OF KENNEDY AND
08:06:32PM FAILED.
08:06:33PM IF YOU GO NORTH OF KENNEDY FOR WHATEVER REASON, 100% OF THEM
08:06:38PM PASS.
08:06:38PM YOU GO SOUTH OF KENNEDY, VERY FEW PASS.
08:06:43PM AND SOME I VOTED AGAINST.
08:06:46PM AND SOME I VOTED FOR.
08:06:47PM BUT WHEN YOU GO NORTH OF KENNEDY, EVERYTHING IS FREE GAME
08:06:54PM AND WEST TAMPA AND EAST TAMPA.
08:06:56PM AND WONDER WHY.
08:06:58PM THAT'S ALL I AM GOING TO SAY.
08:07:01PM THANK YOU.
08:07:01PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
08:07:03PM YES, SIR?
08:07:07PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WANT TO ADDRESS A LITTLE BIT OF THAT AS
08:07:10PM WELL.
08:07:10PM BECAUSE I THINK PART OF THAT -- A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT CAME
08:07:13PM UP IN PUBLIC COMMENT.
08:07:14PM WHERE DO WE WANT DENSITY DEVELOPMENT.
08:07:17PM AND OUR HIGHER GROUND, AS WE SMARTLY DEVELOP THE CITY OF
08:07:22PM TAMPA, WE WANT DENSITY DEVELOPMENT IN AREAS NOT NECESSARILY
08:07:25PM ON THE PENINSULA WITH A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF IT AND OTHERS
08:07:29PM IS NOT.
08:07:30PM COASTAL HIGH HAZARD.
08:07:31PM WE TALK OF SOUTH TAMPA.
08:07:33PM A LOT HIGH HAZARD AREA AND DON'T WANT TO INCREASE DENSITY
08:07:37PM AND PEOPLE HAVE HEARD ME.
08:07:38PM I COINED THE PHRASE THAT SOUTH TAMPA IS FULL, BECAUSE OUR
08:07:42PM INFRASTRUCTURE IS VERY LIMITED.
08:07:43PM THIS IS NOT ON TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR.
08:07:45PM THERE IS -- THERE IS REALLY NO INCENTIVE WHEN YOU TALK OF
08:07:50PM SMART URBAN PLANNING TO INCREASE DENSITY IN THIS -- IN THIS
08:07:54PM AREA OF TOWN WHERE WE HAVE -- WE HAVE AREAS LIKE SULPHUR
08:07:58PM SPRINGS AND UNIVERSITY AREA, AND THESE OTHER AREAS THAT ARE
08:08:02PM CRYING FOR REDEVELOPMENT.
08:08:04PM WE HAVE SEEN IN THE HIGHER AREAS OF TAMPA HEIGHTS, AS
08:08:07PM WE HAVE SEEN THIS REDEVELOPMENT AND DENSITY, THE SMART
08:08:11PM REDEVELOPMENT AND DENSITY, THAT IS ENHANCING THE CITY OF
08:08:14PM TAMPA.
08:08:14PM THOSE ARE THE AREAS THAT WE NEED TO INCREASE DENSITY WITH.
08:08:17PM ALSO IN PUBLIC COMMENT, THERE WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT, YOU
08:08:22PM KNOW, THESE HAPPEN ONE AT A TIME.
08:08:25PM IF YOU CONTINUE TO IMPROVE THEM, THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN
08:08:28PM CHANGES.
08:08:28PM SOMETIMES THE BUCK HAS GOT TO STOP.
08:08:31PM I ONLY HAVE BEEN ON COUNCIL FOR SEVEN MONTHS, AND I LOOK AT
08:08:35PM SOME OF THESE PLANS, AND I QUESTION PAST COUNCILS.
08:08:38PM I CAN'T FIX THOSE, AND I CAN EVALUATE THE ISSUES THAT COME
08:08:42PM BEFORE ME TODAY.
08:08:43PM TO STOP THOSE ISSUES FROM HAPPENING.
08:08:46PM I AGREE WITH STAFF'S ASSESSMENT ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT --
08:08:49PM ABOUT THE CURRENT DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD
08:08:56PM -- NEIGHBORHOOD AND CONTAINING THAT DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN
08:08:58PM HAY CORD DANCE.
08:08:59PM I WILL SUPPORT THE DENIAL ON THIS.
08:09:01PM BUT, AGAIN, I THINK THERE IS A -- THERE IS A DIFFERENCE
08:09:03PM BETWEEN THIS SOUTH OF THIS PENINSULA THAT IS SURROUNDED BY
08:09:09PM WATER THAT IS REALLY FULLY DEVELOPED AND SO MANY OTHER AREAS
08:09:11PM OF THE CITY OF TAMPA.
08:09:12PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN
08:09:16PM CARLSON.
08:09:16PM SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN ERIE VIERA.
08:09:18PM ROLL CALL VOTE.

08:09:49PM I WILL GO TO NEW BUSINESS
08:09:51PM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.

08:10:08PM >>LUIS VIERA: I MOTION FOR STAFF TO REPORT ON POTENTIAL
08:10:13PM FUNDING.
08:10:13PM AND I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A GREAT AMOUNT OF MONEY.
08:10:15PM I JUST -- SO WHENEVER WE DO OUR, YOU KNOW, BUDGET REQUESTS
08:10:23PM FOR NONPROFITS, DIFFERENT ISSUES LIKE THAT AND WE CAN
08:10:27PM IDENTIFY ORGANIZATIONS AND I FEEL -- COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK HAS
08:10:30PM BROUGHT UP ISSUES WITH THE CURFEW THAT IS PROPOSED AND NEED
08:10:34PM TO FUND SOCIAL SERVICES AND I KNOW SOME OF US VISITED THIS
08:10:37PM ORGANIZATION COMMUNITY STEPPING STONES AND THIS IS SOMETHING
08:10:40PM THAT IS REALLY, REALLY IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION OF WHERE WE
08:10:43PM NEED TO GO AS A CITY.
08:10:44PM SO I DO MOTION FOR STAFF TO REPORT ON POTENTIAL FUNDING --
08:10:48PM AGAIN, NOT LOOKING INTO A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY TO START OFF,
08:10:52PM TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY STEPPING STONES, A NONPROFIT
08:10:55PM ORGANIZATION DEDICATED OF USING ARTS-INFUSED CURRICULUM TO
08:11:02PM INSPIRE AND MENTOR YOUTH IN CITY OF TAMPA AND REPORTED ON

08:11:23PM I WAS GOING TO FROM NAT ROSS COME AND SPEAK ON HIS
08:11:28PM EXPERIENCE AS A HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR.
08:11:33PM NAT PASSED ON.
08:11:35PM A HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR AND HE WAS 103 AND HE PASSED.
08:11:40PM UP DON'T THINK I NEED TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT.
08:11:43PM BUT THEY WILL COME BUT THE OBSERVANCE ON THE 27th ON THE
08:11:50PM HOLOCAUST AND THAT'S IT.
08:11:53PM I DON'T THINK IT REQUIRES A MOTION.
08:11:55PM IF IT DOES, LET ME KNOW.
08:11:56PM NEXT, DID, I WAS GOING TO HAVE NEXT WEEK THE UPDATE ON THE
08:12:02PM TAMPA FIRE REIMBURSEMENT RESOLUTION.
08:12:05PM BUT IT APPEARS THAT LOCAL 754 CAN'T MAKE IT FOR NEXT WEEK.
08:12:10PM SO I WANT TO MOVE THAT TO THE FOLLOWING WEEK, WHICH IS THE
08:12:13PM FIRST WEEK IN FEBRUARY.
08:12:14PM SO THAT WILL ACTUALLY LIGHTEN OUR JANUARY 25 SCHEDULE A
08:12:19PM GREAT DEAL, RIGHT, WHICH IS GOOD.
08:12:20PM BUT ALSO IMPORTANT, I DON'T JUST -- I WANT TO HEAR, NUMBER
08:12:24PM ONE, FROM LOCAL 754.
08:12:27PM WHEN WE SPOKE A FEW WEEKS AGO WE DIDN'T HEAR FROM TAMPA FIRE
08:12:33PM RESCUE.
08:12:34PM I WANT TO HEAR FROM SOMEBODY FROM TAMPA FIRE RESCUE BECAUSE
08:12:37PM CAN RADICALLY IMPROVE SERVICES AND I WANT TO HEAR FROM THEM
08:12:41PM AS WELL.
08:12:41PM BY THE WAY THE EXTRA TIME WILL GIVE US SOME ADDITIONAL TIME
08:12:45PM TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE ISSUES BROUGHT UP IN TERMS OF -- MY
08:12:49PM UNDERSTANDING AS PRESENTED THAT WILL HAPPEN, BUT TO FURTHER
08:12:52PM ASSURE COUNCIL IN DISCUSSIONS THAT THIS PROGRAM FOR TAMPA
08:12:55PM FIRE RESCUE AS PROPOSED IS DONE YEAR BY YEAR, IS DONE
08:12:59PM SEPARATELY, WE ARE NOT EATING THE WHOLE ENCHILADA AT ONE
08:13:03PM TIME BUT DOES GIVE STAFF MORE TIME AND THE UNION TO SPEAK
08:13:08PM WITH TAMPA CITY COUNCIL.
08:13:09PM IF I MAY, I MOVE TO MOVE THAT TO THE FOLLOWING WEEK, THE
08:13:14PM FIRST WEEK OF FEBRUARY.
08:13:15PM YES, MA'AM.
08:13:16PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: QUESTION.
