05:11:11PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: WHAT ITEM IS THAT?

05:11:15PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: ITEM SIX.
05:11:17PM AND ITEM SIX, YOU WANT HEARD FOLLOWING ITEM THREE?
05:11:22PM BECAUSE YOU ARE MOVING UP ITEM THREE.
05:11:26PM >> THE GENERAL CONCERN DISCUSSING WITH STAFF THERE WERE
05:11:29PM THREE HEARINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ONE CASE.
05:11:31PM AND THAT IT MIGHT BE EXPEDITIOUS FOR COUNCIL TO MOVE THAT
05:11:36PM AND BENEFICIAL.
05:11:37PM I CAN STAY AND PRESENT IT EITHER WAY.
05:11:42PM IT CAN REMAIN AS -- TEN IS WHAT THE CONCERN WAS.
05:11:46PM NOT SIX.
05:11:48PM BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR --
05:11:52PM >>LYNN HURTAK: HOW WE DO --
05:11:54PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
05:11:55PM TURN ON YOUR MIC?
05:11:58PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I GOT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON
05:12:00PM HERE.
05:12:00PM COME IN HOW THEY ARE FILED?
05:12:03PM I DON'T KNOW.
05:12:03PM I DON'T KNOW THAT SIDE.
05:12:04PM I WANT TO TAKE THEM WHATEVER ORDER THEY GOT FILED.
05:12:07PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: LaCHONE DOCK, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
05:12:10PM THE AGENDA IS SET BY THE CLERKS.
05:12:14PM AND IT IS IN THE ORDER THAT THEY ARE SUBMITTED, THAT THEY
05:12:18PM ARE ENTERED IN.
05:12:19PM THEY HAVE ESTABLISHED THE AGENDA.
05:12:20PM SO SOMETIMES WE CAN RELAY ITEMS.
05:12:26PM BUT SOMETIMES WE CLEAR THE AGENDA BEFORE WE START THE
05:12:28PM MEETING TO LET COUNCIL KNOW AND ADVISE THERE ARE ITEMS
05:12:31PM ASSOCIATED LIKE A VACATING WITH THE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT.
05:12:34PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MR. SHELBY.
05:12:37PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, SOMETIMES AS A COURTESY
05:12:40PM WHEN AN APPLICANT HAS -- OR A PETITIONER'S REPRESENTATIVE
05:12:44PM HAS MORE THAN ONE CASE, WE GROUP THAT TOGETHER.
05:12:46PM FOR EXAMPLE, 6 WILL BE HEARD --
05:12:49PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I UNDERSTAND THAT -- MR. SHELBY, I
05:12:51PM UNDERSTAND THAT PERFECTLY.
05:12:53PM BUT 1-A, B AND C.
05:12:56PM 1-A, 2-B OR WHATEVER IT IS TOGETHER.
05:13:00PM AT LEAST THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDS.
05:13:03PM ALL THIS KIND OF STUFF.
05:13:05PM BUT IF WE CHANGE IT, WE HAVE THREE OR TWO OF THEM.
05:13:11PM 1-A AND THE OTHER 6-A OR 6-B, THEN THEY GO TOGETHER.
05:13:17PM WILL HAVE TO BE DONE IN A DIFFERENT WAY SO THE PUBLIC
05:13:21PM UNDERSTANDS ALL OF THAT.
05:13:22PM I DON'T BLAME THEM.
05:13:23PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I NOTICE LOOKING THROUGH ALL OF THIS.
05:13:28PM THE AGENDA IS WRONG.
05:13:29PM ITEM 1 SAYS IT SHOULD BE HEARD WITH ITEM NUMBER 8 AND IT IS
05:13:34PM ACTUALLY NUMBER 7.
05:13:35PM AND IT SAYS THAT ITEM NUMBER 7 NEEDS TO BE HEARD WITH ITEM
05:13:39PM NUMBER 4 WHICH IS REALLY ITEM NUMBER 3.
05:13:41PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: CORRECT, LaCHONE DOCK, LAND DEVELOPMENT
05:13:45PM COORDINATION.
05:13:45PM SO, WHAT I HAVE DONE IS ANNOUNCE IT INCORRECT.
05:13:49PM I NOTICED ON THE AGENDA.
05:13:51PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NO PROBLEM
05:13:54PM WITH THAT.
05:13:55PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: 3, 1 AND 7 ARE TOGETHER.
05:13:58PM THEY ARE ASSOCIATED.
05:13:59PM >>LYNN HURTAK: CAN WE JUST PUT 10 AFTER 6?
05:14:05PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT'S FINE.
05:14:06PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: A COMPELLING REASON TO GO OUT OF ORDER.
05:14:09PM BUT IF THERE IS NOT A COMPELLING REASON, WE SHOULD DO IT IN
05:14:13PM THE ORDER THAT IT IS DONE.
05:14:14PM I MEAN, AGAIN, I AM ALL FOR ABOUT AMICABLE BUT WORKING WITH
05:14:18PM YOU GUYS IF THERE IS A REASON.
05:14:20PM OTHER THAN THAT THE PUBLIC WOULD EXPECT -- IF THEY WANT TO
05:14:23PM SPEAK TO AN ISSUE THEY ARE NOT HERE YET.
05:14:26PM PREDICTABILITY IS IMPORTANT.
05:14:28PM IS THERE A COMPELLING REASON TO JUMP AHEAD?
05:14:33PM >> THE ONLY REASON WE TALKED ABOUT WITH STAFF IS THAT YOU
05:14:35PM HAVE THREE HEARINGS RELATED TO ONE SUBJECT MATTER.
05:14:38PM AND THAT MAY TAKE AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF I'M.
05:14:42PM I WILL STAY REGARDLESS.
05:14:43PM SO -- IT WAS JUST A REQUEST AS A COURTESY.
05:14:46PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: LET'S STAY IN THE ORDER THAT WE ARE.
05:14:49PM PEOPLE ARE THERE IN THAT ORDER.
05:14:50PM I APPRECIATE IT.
05:14:51PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
05:14:53PM THAT CONCLUDES THE HOUSEKEEPING.
05:14:55PM MISS DOCK, IS THAT CORRECT?
05:14:57PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THAT'S CORRECT.
05:14:58PM OUR FIRST ITEM WILL BE ITEM 3.
05:15:00PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THESE ARE NONQUASI-JUDICIALS AND NOT
05:15:06PM SWEAR ANYBODY BE IN YET.
05:15:07PM ITEM NUMBER 3 --
05:15:10PM >>LYNN HURTAK: ITEM 3 ON THE AGENDA.
05:15:13PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DO WE HAVE TO ON AN EVENING SESSION?
05:15:16PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: NOT NECESSARY.
05:15:17PM I DO ASK THAT YOU MAKE A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

05:20:47PM THAT DESIGNATION ALLOWS DEVELOPMENTS UP TO 60 DWELLING UNITS
05:20:51PM PER ACRE OR .235 FAR FOR RESIDENTIAL OR NONRESIDENTIAL USES.
05:20:59PM HERE IS A SLIDE SHOWING THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF THE
05:21:09PM POTENTIAL CHANGE CURRENTLY UNDER THE COMMUNITY 35
05:21:13PM DESIGNATION FOR 154 DWELLING UNITS OR OVER 383,000 SQUARE
05:21:18PM FEET OF RESIDENTIAL OR NONRESIDENTIAL USES AS PROPOSED UNDER
05:21:22PM THE URBAN MIXED USE-60 DESIGNATION.
05:21:25PM THE SUBJECT SITE FOR 264 DWELLING UNITS OR JUST UNDER
05:21:30PM 623,000 SQUARE FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL OR RESIDENTIAL USES.
05:21:33PM SO BASED ON THESE CALCULATIONS, YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS --
05:21:37PM THIS AMENDMENT WILL ALLOW AN INCREASE IN DENSITY AND IN
05:21:43PM DENSITY OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
05:21:43PM THIS WENT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
05:21:46PM THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF, AS WELL AS PLANNING
05:21:50PM COMMISSION -- PLANNING COMMISSION BOARD AND PLANNING
05:21:52PM COMMISSION STAFF BOTH FOUND THE REQUEST CONSISTENT,
05:21:55PM SPECIFICALLY AS CONSISTENT WITH POLICIES THAT PROVIDE A
05:21:58PM RANGE OF HOUSING CHOICES AND SUPPORTING TAMPA AS A GROWING
05:22:01PM POPULATION.
05:22:02PM IT ALSO -- THE REQUEST ALSO SUPPORTS POLICIES THAT INCREASE
05:22:07PM DENSITY -- SEEK TO INCREASE DENSITY NEAR TRANSIT OPTIONS
05:22:10PM SPECIFICALLY ALONG FLORIDA AVENUE.
05:22:12PM AND FINALLY, IT SUPPORTS POLICIES THAT DIRECT THE GREATER
05:22:16PM SHARE OF GROWTH TO THE CITY'S URBAN VILLAGES IN THE TAMPA
05:22:20PM HEIGHTS URBAN VILLAGE.
05:22:21PM BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
05:22:25PM FOUND THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
05:22:28PM OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
05:22:29PM THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND I AM AVAILABLE IF YOU
05:22:33PM HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
05:22:34PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
05:22:34PM >>LYNN HURTAK: CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE CDB
05:22:39PM PERIPHERY?
05:22:40PM >>DANNY COLLINS: YES.
05:22:42PM IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THERE, IS POLICY OF THE CDB
05:22:46PM PERIPHERY, IN THE CDB PERIPHERY, BONUS UP TO 100% OVER WHAT
05:22:54PM CAN CURRENTLY BE CONSIDERED IN THE LAND USE CATEGORY.
05:22:58PM >>LYNN HURTAK: GENERALLY -- AND THIS IS RIGHT -- I MEAN,
05:23:01PM HALF THE PROJECT IS IN.
05:23:02PM AND HALF THE PROJECT IS OUT.
05:23:04PM WE ARE LOOKING AT AN AREA THAT WE ARE EXPECTING TO HAVE
05:23:07PM GREATER DENSITY OVER TIME?
05:23:09PM >>DANNY COLLINS: YES.
05:23:10PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
05:23:11PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE?
05:23:12PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
05:23:13PM WHO IS NEXT?
05:23:15PM YES, SIR.
05:23:15PM YES, MA'AM.
05:23:18PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
05:23:20PM YES, SIR.
05:23:21PM >> COUNCIL, TYLER HUDSON, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE FOR THE
05:23:27PM RECORD.
05:23:27PM I WANT TO COVER A COUPLE OF ORGANIZATIONAL TOPICS ON THE
05:23:33PM OUTSET.
05:23:34PM THREE ITEMS THAT RELATE ALL TO THE SAME PROJECT.
05:23:38PM WE ARE NOT GOING TO MASH THEM TOGETHER.
05:23:40PM ONE PRESENTATION.
05:23:41PM ASK FOR A VOTE AND THEN DO THAT TWO MORE TIMES HOPEFULLY TO
05:23:45PM GET THROUGH THE END.
05:23:46PM EACH ASPECT OF THE APPLICATIONS STANDS ON THEIR OWN.
05:23:49PM THANKS, ALEX.
05:23:51PM EACH OF THE COMPONENTS STAND ON THEIR OWN.
05:23:55PM YOU WILL GET MORE DETAIL OF THE PROJECT AS WE GO THROUGH
05:23:58PM FROM COMP PLAN TO VACATING TO REZONING.
05:24:01PM THREE SEPARATE ITEMS BUT THEY ALL RELATE TO THE SAME
05:24:05PM PROJECT.
05:24:05PM SECOND ITEM I WANT TO ADDRESS, SUPPLEMENTAL PACKETS PUT ON
05:24:10PM THE DAIS FOR YOU ALL.
05:24:11PM NOT A QUIZ OR ANYTHING, BUT POSSIBLE DURING THE Q&A AND
05:24:15PM REBUTTAL, I MIGHT BE REFERENCING PAGES -- DO WE NOT HAVE
05:24:19PM THOSE YET?
05:24:20PM SORRY.
05:24:21PM WE WILL BE PASSING OUT TO THE DAIS SOME SUPPLEMENTAL PACKETS
05:24:26PM WHICH, AGAIN, THE PURPOSE FOR ME -- YOU GUYS HAVE IN FRONT
05:24:30PM OF YOU PAGES OF REFERENCES I MIGHT CITE.
05:24:33PM THIRD ISSUE IS TIME.
05:24:34PM I AM GOING TO DO THE BEST I CAN TO QUICKLY GET THROUGH THIS
05:24:37PM ITEM AND THE RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATING.
05:24:39PM THEY ARE NOT VERY COMPLICATED OR DETAILED.
05:24:41PM IT IS POSSIBLE THAT FOR THE THIRD ITEM, THE PD OR REZONING
05:24:45PM WE MIGHT NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME.
05:24:46PM IT IS A BIG PROJECT.
05:24:48PM AND WE HAVE A COUPLE OF FOLKS WHO WILL BE SPEAKING OF THE
05:24:51PM PRESENTATION-IN-CHIEF.
05:24:54PM I DON'T WANT TO ASK -- I AM NOT GOING TO ASK FOR EXTRA TIME
05:24:57PM NOW, BUT ASK THAT FOR ITEM 7, COUNCIL CONSIDER PERHAPS A
05:25:02PM MODEST EXTENSION OF TIME FOR THE APPLICATION.
05:25:05PM AND POTENTIALLY IN REBUTTAL AND I ASK FOR THAT ON THE
05:25:09PM CONDITION THAT I WILL TRY NOT TO NOT NEED IT BUT JUST
05:25:12PM ALERTING YOU.
05:25:13PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: LET'S DO THIS.
05:25:14PM I KNOW IT IS EARLY, ANYBODY GOING TO SPEAK ON ANY OF THE
05:25:17PM ITEMS ON THE AGENDA.
05:25:18PM WE ARE NOT AT THE QUASI-JUDICIAL.
05:25:22PM PLEASE RISE AND RAISE YOUR HAND AND WE WILL SWEAR YOU IN SO
05:25:27PM WE CAN GET IT ALL DONE NOW.
05:25:29PM THESE ARE ALL THE CASES.
05:25:30PM [SWEARING IN]
05:25:35PM >> I DO.
05:25:36PM >>CLERK: THANK YOU.
05:25:37PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, SIR.
05:25:41PM >> WITH THAT, LET'S BEGIN.
05:25:43PM I AM ONLY GOING -- I AM ONLY GOING TO DO THIS ONCE, BUT I
05:25:47PM WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE THE PROJECT TEAM THAT IS BEHIND THIS
05:25:50PM YMCA REDEVELOPMENT.
05:25:51PM MOST IMPORTANTLY, MATT MITCHELL IS HERE, THE PRESIDENT AND
05:25:55PM CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF THE TAMPA METROPOLITAN YMCA.
05:25:58PM ALSO CASEY ELLISON, JORDAN STAR IS HERE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM.
05:26:07PM THE PROJECT'S DESIGNER AND ARCHITECT IS FLEISHMAN GARCIA
05:26:12PM AND SOL FLEISHMAN IS HERE AND WILL BE SPEAKING LATER.
05:26:16PM OUR CIVIL ENGINEER KIMLEY-HORN AND SCOTT PILNER AND BEN
05:26:21PM PLANT.
05:26:21PM DARK MOSS IS THE PROJECT ARBORIST, RICKY PETERIKA WILL BE
05:26:27PM HERE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS, AND MY COLLEAGUE ALEX SCHALER
05:26:30PM IS HERE WHO IS INSTRUMENTAL IN PUSHING THESE APPLICATIONS
05:26:33PM FORWARD.
05:26:33PM I THINK WE HAVE SEEN THE COLOR MAP WE ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH
05:26:36PM THE VARIOUS REDS AND PURPLES GOING TO A LITTLE BIT OF A
05:26:39PM LIGHTER SHADE OF PURPLE.
05:26:41PM DANNY DID A GOOD JOB OF OUTLINING OF WHAT WE ARE TALKING
05:26:46PM ABOUT.
05:26:46PM I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE TWO QUICK POINTS OF CONTEXT.
05:26:49PM GOT BEHIND THE CURTAIN A LITTLE BIT.
05:26:53PM WE STARTED THE DESIGN OF WHAT COULD BE HERE AS A PROJECT, WE
05:26:56PM LOOKED VERY CLOSELY AT RMU-100.
05:26:59PM RMU-100 IS A FAIRLY PERVASIVE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION IN
05:27:05PM THE HEIGHTS THAT ALL THE CAPITAL T RM-100.
05:27:11PM WITH STAFF, A LITTLE BIT OF TREPIDATION WITH THAT, THAT IT
05:27:14PM MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH GIVEN THE ADJACENCY TO THE
05:27:19PM HISTORIC DISTRICT.
05:27:20PM WE SHARPENED OUR PENCIL.
05:27:22PM LOOKED AT THE NUMBERS AGAIN.
05:27:23PM GIVEN THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION WITH A LANDMARK STRUCTURE
05:27:28PM ON-SITE, WENT WITH UMU-60 AS DISCUSSED IN THE REZONING
05:27:33PM APPLICATION IN OUR VIEW MORE THAN ENOUGH.
05:27:37PM OR THE DENSITY WE NEED.
05:27:38PM THE OTHER IS THE PARCEL IN THE GREEN STAR YOU WILL SEE.
05:27:41PM ORIGINALLY WE WANTED TO INCLUDE THAT.
05:27:44PM WE ELIMINATE IT FROM THE APPLICATION BECAUSE AT THE ARC
05:27:48PM HEARING, SIGNIFICANT NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERN AND SOME AMONG THE
05:27:51PM COMMISSIONERS AS WELL.
05:27:52PM THAT PARCEL IS ENTIRELY WITHIN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.
05:27:55PM ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF FLORIDA THAT HAS A LITTLE BIT OF
05:27:58PM RELEVANCE, THAT IS WHERE -- I AM NOT GOING TO TALK -- THAT
05:28:01PM WILL COME IN LATER IN THIS PRESENTATION, BUT IT WAS OUR
05:28:04PM BELIEF THAT THE OVERALL PROJECT SCALE CAN STILL BE
05:28:08PM ACCOMMODATED WITHOUT HAVING AN INTENSIFICATION OF A HISTORIC
05:28:13PM PARCEL.
05:28:14PM I AM NOT SAYING IT MAY NEVER COME BEFORE YOU.
05:28:17PM IT MIGHT WELL, BUT WE CHOSE TO DROP THAT OUT OF RESPECT TO
05:28:21PM THE NEIGHBORS AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION STAFF THAT HAD
05:28:24PM ISSUES WITH THAT PARTICULAR COMPONENT.
05:28:27PM IN TERMS OF -- I DON'T WANT TO OVERSTATE THE REASONS BEHIND
05:28:31PM THIS.
05:28:32PM PLANNING COMMISSION FOUND IT CONSISTENT UNANIMOUSLY AND
05:28:35PM STAFF CONSISTENTLY.
05:28:35PM WORTH NOTING THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOES PROVIDE YOU
05:28:38PM ALL WITH GUIDANCE OF HOW TO APPROACH THESE TYPES OF
05:28:41PM REQUESTS.
05:28:41PM THEY ASK YOU ON A TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDOR.
05:28:45PM FLORIDA AVENUE IS A TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDOR.
05:28:50PM TAMPA STREET IS NOT.
05:28:52PM WORKS BOTH BOTH WAYS WITH HART.
05:28:54PM AND FLORIDA AVENUE IS THE TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDOR AND
05:29:03PM GENERATES THE SAME THING.
05:29:04PM I MAY PROBABLY REPEAT THIS AGAIN, ALONG FLORIDA AVENUE AND
05:29:08PM DOWNTOWN TAMPA STREET IS HART ROUTE 1, THE BEST PERFORMING
05:29:12PM HART ROUTES.
05:29:13PM IT IS ADEQUATE NOW TO ACCOMMODATE THE DENSITY.
05:29:16PM AS WE KNOW -- AND I WILL TALK MORE ABOUT LATER ON -- THERE
05:29:22PM IS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RESOURCES THAT HAVE BEEN
05:29:25PM SPENT PLANNING FOR ENHANCED TRANSIT ON THIS VERY SAME
05:29:29PM CORRIDOR WITH THE STREETCAR.
05:29:30PM SOME TYPE OF SEPARATED FROM VEHICULAR TRAFFIC, TRANSIT ALONG
05:29:35PM FLORIDA AND TAMPA.
05:29:36PM AND WHERE WILL THAT TURN AROUND, PALM.
05:29:40PM THE VERY MIDDLE OF THE APPLICATION, A ASSEMBLAGE OF
05:29:45PM PROPERTIES BEFORE YOU.
05:29:45PM I ALSO NOTE IN TERMS OF FUNDING, DO NOT NEED TO TELL THE
05:29:50PM GROUP OF SEVEN OF YOU THAT FUNDING IS SCARCE IN THE CITY FOR
05:29:55PM INFRASTRUCTURE.
05:29:55PM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS AWARDED A RAISE GRANT.
05:29:58PM THERE IS MONEY FOR THE FLORIDA AND TAMPA IMPROVEMENTS.
05:30:01PM ISN'T A HYPOTHETICAL OR IF WE GET THE GRANT, THE CITY HAS
05:30:07PM BEEN AWARDED AND IN COMBINATION WITH FDOT.
05:30:10PM A COMBINATION OF STORMWATER AND TRANSPORTATION SURFACE
05:30:13PM IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING TO THE EXACT AREA WHERE WE
05:30:16PM ARE SEEKING TO DENSE PHI.
05:30:17PM I DON'T WANT TO REPEAT THAT AGAIN.
05:30:19PM STAFF RECOMMENDED IT.
05:30:21PM BEFORE WE WENT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THE PLANNING
05:30:23PM COMMISSION UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL.
05:30:25PM WE HAVEN'T REALLY SEEN MUCH OPPOSITION TO THE GENERAL NOTION
05:30:31PM OF DENSITY IN THIS AREA.
05:30:32PM I THINK THIS COUNCIL IS CONFRONTED WITH A LOT OF HARD
05:30:35PM CHOICES OF WHERE IS THE DENSITY.
05:30:38PM SOME NEIGHBORHOODS ARE NOT AS KEEN ON IT.
05:30:40PM SOME PHYSICAL FUTURES OF LAND THAT MAY NOT MAKE IT SUITABLE
05:30:44PM FOR IT, BUT I RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT THAT THIS IS IDEALLY
05:30:48PM SITUATED ASSEMBLAGE OF LAND TO DENSE PHI.
05:30:51PM AND WE RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU APPROVE THE ITEM BEFORE
05:30:54PM YOU.
05:30:54PM NOW TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
05:30:56PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
05:30:58PM YES, MA'AM.
05:30:59PM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
05:31:00PM THEN COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
05:31:01PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
05:31:02PM I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A QUESTION AS IT IS A COMMENT.
05:31:13PM LOOKING AT THIS AND THE DENSITY OF IT.
05:31:15PM THIS REALLY GOES WITH THE STAIR-STEP PATTERN THAT THE CITY
05:31:18PM IS LOOKING FOR IN TERMS OF DENSITY, IN TERMS OF KEEPING
05:31:21PM DENSITY ON MAJOR CORRIDORS AND STEPPING BACK INTO
05:31:27PM NEIGHBORHOODS.
05:31:27PM AND THAT IS RIGHT NEXT TO AN RMU-100 DISTRICT AND SOUTH OF
05:31:33PM 275, AND RMU-100 DISTRICT.
05:31:39PM I SUPPORT THIS CHANGE BECAUSE -- BECAUSE OF THAT.
05:31:46PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
05:31:48PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ABSOLUTELY.
05:31:49PM I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU SCALED BACK WITH THE FOLIOS.
05:31:54PM IF I WAS THE DECISION-MAKER, I WOULD HAVE SUPPORTED THE
05:31:58PM DENSITY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF FLORIDA AS WELL.
05:32:00PM THIS IS A MAJOR -- THIS IS GROUND ZERO FOR EXPANSION OF
05:32:03PM TRANSPORTATION AND OUR URBAN GROWTH.
05:32:09PM THESE ARE ONE OF THOSE AREAS.
05:32:13PM OUT OF THE FLOOD ZONES.
05:32:14PM IT IS A PERFECT PLACE FOR DENSITY.
05:32:16PM I AM EXCITED ABOUT SUPPORTING THESE TYPES OF CHANGES TO LAND
05:32:20PM USE, BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE YOU NEED TO BE.
05:32:26PM HOPEFULLY YOUR PLAN IS WRONG, BECAUSE WILL WORK VERY, VERY
05:32:30PM HARD TO EXTEND THE STREETCAR TO AMELIA.
05:32:33PM AND DEFINITELY PASSING BY THE ON THE EAST SIDE AND THE WEST
05:32:37PM SIDE.
05:32:37PM BUT KNOW IT IS EXACTLY WHAT I THINK THE CITY NEEDS.
05:32:40PM A GREAT USE OF UNDERUTILIZED PROPERTY AND PART OF, I THINK,
05:32:46PM CATALYST OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
05:32:48PM KUDOS.
05:32:49PM >> THANK YOU.
05:32:51PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AM NOT DISAGREEING WITH MY TWO
05:32:54PM COLLEAGUES.
05:32:54PM I SEE 30% REDUCTION IN PARKING.
05:32:57PM AND WE TALK ABOUT WHAT IS COMING AND WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN
05:33:00PM AND HOW ARE THINGS GOING TO BE ROSY AND WELL-DONE BECAUSE WE
05:33:05PM WILL HAVE TRANSPORTATION.
05:33:05PM NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHEN IT IS COMING AND NO ONE WILL TELL ME
05:33:08PM WHEN IT IS GOING TO ARRIVE.
05:33:10PM THAT IS A PROBLEM THAT I HAVE WITH THIS PROJECT OR ANY OTHER
05:33:12PM PROJECT I VOTED AGAINST MANY.
05:33:21PM I CAN NAME YOU SOME.
05:33:24PM UNTIL I GET SOME COMMITMENT FROM SOME GOVERNMENT.
05:33:27PM YEAH, THE TRAIN IS COMING.
05:33:33PM THAT IS WONDERFUL.
05:33:35PM I AM TRYING TO BE UP FRONT WITH EVERYONE.
05:33:38PM 1434, 30% REDUCTION.
05:33:41PM WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF IT DOESN'T COME AND WE HAVE ALL
05:33:44PM THESE MASS BUILDINGS.
05:33:46PM THEY ARE RIGHT.
05:33:47PM EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT CORRIDORS AND DOWN TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD
05:33:50PM WHERE EVERYBODY CAN HAVE A QUALITY OF LIFE.
05:33:52PM NO DISAGREEMENT THERE.
05:33:54PM WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMETHING DOESN'T HAPPEN AND EVERYTHING ELSE
05:33:57PM -- NOT ONLY THIS ONE, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE CITY THAT
05:33:59PM HAPPENS THAT WAY AND YOU WILL HAVE A REDUCTION IN PARKING
05:34:02PM AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU HAVE NOTHING.
05:34:04PM IT IS NOT JUST RELATED TO YOUR PROJECT.
05:34:09PM IF IT WASN'T THAT EXPRESS LANE TO THE RIGHT THAT YOU CAN GET
05:34:12PM OFF, I WOULD STILL BE ON THE EXPRESSWAY.
05:34:14PM AND I LOVE -- THE PEOPLE DO GREAT WORK AND BUILD A LOT OF
05:34:19PM SPACES.
05:34:20PM EVERY TIME THEY HAD A LANE, SIX MONTHS LATER, THEY CAN'T
05:34:24PM MOVE.
05:34:24PM HOW MANY LANES YOU WILL HAVE.
05:34:26PM MR. HUDSON, BELIEVE ME.
05:34:29PM I AM JUST LOOKING AT IT AND TELL ME, WOW.
05:34:32PM I LOVE WHAT IS HAPPENING BUT WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE
05:34:38PM KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THOSE THINGS ARE COMING, SOME OF THESE
05:34:41PM THINGS MAY BE SUBJECT NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU ARE SAYING,
05:34:44PM BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
05:34:46PM WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
05:34:48PM I AM TALKING TO YOU PERSONALLY.
05:34:50PM I THINK IT IS A GREAT GUY A GREAT ATTORNEY AND YOU DO A
05:34:53PM GREAT JOB, BUT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHERE, HOW, WHEN, WHO IS
05:34:58PM GOING TO FUND IT OR ANYTHING ELSE.
05:34:59PM >> SURE, COUNCIL, IF I MAY.
05:35:01PM I THINK THAT IS A PUZZLE PIECE WE MAY TALK ABOUT IN THE
05:35:04PM LATER APPLICATION OF THE SAME PROJECT.
05:35:08PM THE ITEM BEFORE YOU IS HYPER NARROW.
05:35:10PM WHETHER TO CHANGE THE MAP COLOR AND I CAN ASSURE YOU ROBUST
05:35:14PM DISCUSSION OF DETAIL OF THE POTENTIAL PROJECT ON THIS SITE
05:35:19PM IN ABOUT TWO ITEMS.
05:35:20PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
05:35:21PM ANYTHING MORE TO THE PRESENTATION?
05:35:23PM IF NOT, I WILL GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT.
05:35:24PM >> THAT'S IT.
05:35:26PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NOBODY REGISTERED ON THE ITEM.
05:35:30PM ANYBODY HERE WANT TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 3?
05:35:33PM YES, SIR, COME UP.
05:35:35PM PLEASE COME UP AND SAY YOUR NAME WHEN YOU COME TO THE
05:35:40PM MICROPHONE.
05:35:40PM >> MY NAME IS JIM SWEAT.
05:35:42PM I LIVE IN OLD SEMINOLE HEIGHTS.
05:35:44PM I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER OF THAT YMCA FOR 25, 30 YEARS.
05:35:49PM MY QUESTION IS OF THE DEVELOPER -- IS HAVEN'T THEY REMOVED
05:35:55PM FROM THE PLAN THE EXACT LOCATION AND WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO
05:35:58PM BUILD -- MY QUESTION IS WHERE IS IT GOING TO GO?
05:36:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THEY WILL ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
05:36:05PM >> OKAY.
05:36:06PM THANK YOU, SIR.
05:36:07PM >>LYNN HURTAK: WE ARE WORKING ON THE COMP PLAN CHANGE NOW,
05:36:10PM NOT THE ACTUAL REZONING.
05:36:11PM >> THANK YOU.
05:36:12PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THOSE QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED.
05:36:16PM NEXT ITEM IS REGARDING AN ALLEY.
05:36:18PM AND THEN GOES INTO THE REZONING.
05:36:20PM THOSE QUESTIONS WILL COME UP.
05:36:21PM AND THE APPLICANT DOES HAVE REBUTTAL.
05:36:23PM THOSE QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED.
05:36:25PM YES, SIR, I SAW YOU WERE NEXT.
05:36:26PM PLEASE COME UP AND STATE YOUR NAME.
05:36:28PM >> GOOD AFTERNOON.
05:36:30PM MY NAME IS RALPH SCHULER, 2101 NORTH JEFFERSON STREET, AND I
05:36:35PM HAVE BEEN SWORN.
05:36:36PM A LONG-TIME RESIDENT OF TAMPA HEIGHTS FOR 23 YEARS.
05:36:39PM I LIVE TWO BLOCKS FROM THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.
05:36:42PM LAND USE IS A HARD THING FOR MANY PEOPLE.
05:36:44PM PRETTY COLORS THAT TURN INTO -- YOU KNOW, REAL DEVELOPMENT.
05:36:48PM I SUPPORT THE YMCA.
05:36:54PM I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER FOR 18 YEARS.
05:36:56PM I SUPPORT, IN GENERAL, THE PROJECT.
05:36:59PM I HAD A VERY, VERY HARD TIME WITH IS THE INTENSIFICATION
05:37:03PM NORTH OF PALM AVENUE.
05:37:04PM PALM AVENUE FOR US HAS TO BE THE DIVIDING LINE BETWEEN WHAT
05:37:08PM IS ESSENTIALLY A CDB SOUTH OF PALM AND NORTH OF PALM.
05:37:13PM IF WE OPEN UP THIS PANDORA'S BOX, WE HAVE TWO VERY LARGE
05:37:18PM PARCELS THAT ARE OWNED BY -- OWNED BY FIRST BREWSTER
05:37:22PM TECHNICAL.
05:37:22PM AND SECOND, OF COURSE, METROPOLITAN MINISTRIES.
05:37:26PM I THINK BREWSTER IS ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK.
05:37:30PM I THINK WE WILL FIGHT THIS FIGHT AGAIN IF WE OPEN UP THIS
05:37:36PM PANDORA'S BOX.
05:37:37PM I PERSONALLY WOULD EVEN SUPPORT A HIGHER INTENSIFICATION OF
05:37:41PM THE Y SOUTH OF PALM.
05:37:43PM NORTH OF PALM, I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT WILL JUST FLOOD
05:37:48PM US WITH FIGHTING THIS FIGHT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
05:37:50PM AND NOW THE CDB IS INTRUDING WHAT IS A HISTORIC DISTRICT AND
05:37:57PM HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD.
05:37:58PM AND THE FIRST SUBURB OF TAMPA.
05:38:01PM AND I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.
05:38:02PM AND SECOND, YOU KNOW, YES, THIS IS -- THEY HAVE OWNED THIS
05:38:09PM PROPERTY FOR DECADES.
05:38:11PM I THINK IT IS A LITTLE BIT OF AN ENTITLEMENT GRAB.
05:38:15PM A LITTLE BIT OF A -- HOW MUCH MONEY WE CAN MAKE.
05:38:18PM AND I KIND OF EXPECT A LITTLE BIT BETTER FROM A COMMUNITY
05:38:22PM ORGANIZATION, BECAUSE WE WILL SEE IN THE NEXT PRESENTATIONS
05:38:26PM HOW BIG OF A PROJECT THEY ARE PROPOSING.
05:38:29PM AND IT IS QUITE ALARMING.
05:38:32PM SO, WITH THAT, I WILL SUPPORT THE WHY, I WILL SUPPORT THE
05:38:37PM DEVELOPMENT, BUT NOT SUPPORT ANY INTENSIFICATION NORTH OF
05:38:40PM PALM AVENUE.
05:38:41PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
05:38:43PM ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME?
05:38:45PM I WILL ASK MR. HUDSON, DO YOU HAVE REBUTTAL AT THIS TIME?
05:38:52PM SIR, ARE YOU GOING TO SPEAK?
05:38:53PM GET THE GENTLEMAN TO COME UP.
05:38:55PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME WHEN YOU COME UP.
05:38:57PM A FEW MORE FOLKS.
05:38:58PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
05:38:59PM >> JAMES HARTNET, NORTH CENTRAL.
05:39:02PM I HAVE BEEN IN TAMPA HEIGHTS FOR 24-PLUS YEARS.
05:39:05PM I HAVE A NUMBER OF POINTS I WAS GOING TO READ BUT NO REASON
05:39:11PM TO REITERATE WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN SAID.
05:39:14PM I DO THINK THAT MORE DENSITY IS IMPORTANT IN THIS AREA.
05:39:18PM I THINK AS THE CITY GROWS, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THAT IT IS 20
05:39:23PM FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL, THAT IT IS GOING TO BE INCREASINGLY
05:39:27PM IMPORTANT TO BE IN HIGHLAND.
05:39:29PM AND I THINK THE CITY SHOULD KIND OF PUSH DEVELOPMENT MORE
05:39:33PM NORTH THAN WHERE IT IS RIGHT NOW.
05:39:36PM IN ADDITION TO THE BRT AND THE TROLLEY EXPANSION, ANOTHER
05:39:44PM POINT OF NOTE, I THINK, IS THAT THIS IS ALSO ALONG MAJOR
05:39:49PM BIKE CORRIDORS, WHICH IS ALSO ANOTHER WAY TO REACH THE --
05:39:53PM THE DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT HAVING A CAR, WHICH EVERYBODY
05:40:00PM DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE A PROBLEMS BUT NEEDS RIGHT NOW.
05:40:04PM THE -- THE WHY HAS BEEN WILLING TO WORK WITH THE
05:40:10PM NEIGHBORHOOD REVISED THEIR PLANS A NUMBER OF TIMES.
05:40:20PM I TAKE THEM AS COMMUNITY PARTNER THAT THEY HAVE BEEN THEY
05:40:25PM HAVE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD LONGER THAN ANYONE ELSE HAVE BEEN
05:40:29PM ALIVE.
05:40:29PM AND THEY WILL TO CAN PIE THE LAND EVEN AFTER IT IS
05:40:32PM DEVELOPED.
05:40:32PM AND I THINK THEY REALLY ARE OPERATING IN GOOD FAITH.
05:40:35PM AND THEY WANT TO SEE A QUALITY PROJECT.
05:40:37PM THERE IS SOME FOLKS, ESPECIALLY ON ROSS WHO HAS A PROBLEM
05:40:45PM NORTH OF PALM AND I THINK THAT IS LEGITIMATE AND CAN BE
05:40:49PM WORKED THROUGH WITH THE DEVELOPER AND THE WHY.
05:40:52PM THANK YOU.
05:40:53PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
05:40:56PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
05:40:58PM >> BRENDAN McLAUGHLIN, 405 EAST ROSS AVENUE.
05:41:02PM QUICK STORY.
05:41:03PM ABOUT TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO, I -- I SET ABOUT BUILDING A
05:41:09PM SMALL HOUSE ON A LOT I OWNED ON AMELIA AVENUE, A COUPLE OF
05:41:12PM BLOCKS NORTH.
05:41:13PM ONLY 30 FEET WIDE.
05:41:14PM I NEEDED A WAIVER TO GO FROM THE SEVEN FOOT SETBACK ON EACH
05:41:19PM SIDE TO FIVE SO THE HOUSE COULD BE 20 FEET WIDE INSTEAD OF
05:41:22PM 16 WHICH WOULDN'T REALLY BE FEASIBLE AS A COMMERCIAL
05:41:25PM PROPERTY OR AS A RENTAL OR A SALE.
05:41:27PM IT WOULD ALSO LOOK ODD IN THE CONTEXT OF THE HISTORIC
05:41:31PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
05:41:31PM IT WILL BE THE ONLY 16-FOOT-WIDE HOUSE.
05:41:34PM I WAS GRANTED BY THIS VERY SAME CITY COUNCIL THAT WAIVER.
05:41:37PM AND I KNOW WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT WAIVERS SPECIFICALLY
05:41:40PM NOW.
05:41:40PM MY POINT IS, I EXPRESSED A HARDSHIP, IF YOU WILL, TO GET
05:41:44PM THIS CHANGE IN THE EXISTING RULES AND IT WAS GRANTED.
05:41:49PM THE IMPACT OF MY PROJECT WAS GENERALLY POSITIVE.
05:41:52PM PUT A HOUSE WHERE THERE IS AN EMPTY LOT.
05:41:54PM AND THE AFFECT ON MY NEIGHBORHOODS WERE POSITIVE.
05:41:57PM I WOULD ASK THAT YOU SORT OF LOOK AT THIS PROJECT IN THE
05:42:01PM SAME LIGHT.
05:42:01PM ASK THE QUESTION, WHAT IS THE NEED FOR THIS -- THIS EXTRA
05:42:06PM DENSITY AND THE EXTRA HEIGHT.
05:42:08PM NOT JUST ON THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT WITH THE NEW Y WILL BE
05:42:12PM BUT ALSO ACROSS THE STREET WHERE THE EXISTING Y WILL BE
05:42:16PM WHERE THE 20-PLUS-STORY BUILDINGS WILL GO.
05:42:19PM WHAT IS THE NECESSITY ON THE PART OF THE Y TO HAVE THAT
05:42:22PM LEVEL OF DENSITY?
05:42:24PM COULD THEY HAVE A PROFITABLE SOURCE OF REVENUE FOR THE YMCA
05:42:27PM WITH A MORE MODEST PROJECT?
05:42:30PM AND NUMBER TWO, OBVIOUSLY, PLEASE LOOK AT THE EFFECT OF THE
05:42:33PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
05:42:33PM ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORS CONSTRUCTED A -- A VISUAL MODEL OF THE
05:42:37PM SHADOW THAT WILL BE CAST BY WHAT WOULD ESSENTIALLY BE A
05:42:40PM SUNDIAL ON THESE HIGHER BUILDINGS AND WOULD CAST MUCH OF
05:42:46PM ROSS AVENUE AND PARK AVENUE IN SHADE FOR MUCH OF THE DAY AS
05:42:50PM A RESULT OF THE SIZE OF THIS.
05:42:51PM I MEAN, THE VISUAL ENORMITY OF THIS IS SOMETHING I HOPE YOU
05:42:55PM WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT AS YOU GO FORWARD WITH THIS PROJECT.
05:42:58PM THANK YOU.
05:42:58PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
05:43:00PM BEFORE ANYBODY ELSE COMES TO SPEAK.
05:43:02PM WERE YOU SWORN IN?
05:43:05PM >> YES.
05:43:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I SAW THREE PEOPLE WHO CAME IN WHO WAS
05:43:09PM NOT SWORN IN.
05:43:10PM COME ON UP.
05:43:11PM WE WILL DO IT IN A MINUTE.
05:43:12PM ALL RIGHT.
05:43:13PM GO AHEAD, SIR.
05:43:14PM >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBERS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK
05:43:17PM BRIEFLY TO YOU.
05:43:18PM MY NAME IS TOM SKERITT, 212 EAST ROSS AVENUE.
05:43:25PM MY HOUSE IS CADDY CORNER TO THE PROPOSED NEW YMCA.
05:43:29PM WHAT THIS IS TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING.
05:43:35PM EVERYBODY THAT I HEARD TALK UP HERE AND EVEN BACK HERE,
05:43:39PM INCLUDING MYSELF, THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA.
05:43:41PM THE PROBLEM IS, IT IS TOO MUCH.
05:43:43PM 260 FEET HIGH.
05:43:48PM IT IS GARGANTUAN.
05:43:50PM JUST AS MY NEIGHBORS SAID, THAT WILL CAST A SHADOW.
05:43:55PM THAT WILL BLOCK OUT THE SUN AT MY HOUSE FROM O'CLOCK ON
05:44:00PM EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE IF IT STAYED THERE.
05:44:04PM AND IT IS JUST TOO MUCH.
05:44:05PM I -- I UNDERSTAND, COUNCILMEMBERS, WHEN YOU SAID THIS FITS
05:44:10PM THE MODEL.
05:44:11PM YOU WANT TO HAVE STEP DOWN.
05:44:13PM WE ALL AGREE.
05:44:14PM BUT IT IS THE FIRST STEP.
05:44:16PM IT IS WAY TOO HIGH.
05:44:17PM THAT IS WHY WE ARE ASKING YOU TO MAKE THEM SIMPLY PLAY THE
05:44:22PM BY THE RULES.
05:44:22PM NOW THE YMCA -- IT IS LIKE APPLE PIE AND MOM.
05:44:27PM WHO CAN FIGHT AGAINST THE YMCA.
05:44:28PM THEY ARE GREAT.
05:44:29PM WONDERFUL PERSONALITY -- EXCUSE ME, WONDERFUL REPUTATION.
05:44:33PM AND I THINK THEY WANT TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.
05:44:36PM BUT THIS -- THIS IS GOING TO RADICALLY CHANGE -- I AM MOVING
05:44:40PM -- MOVING IN TODAY THE REST OF MY STUFF.
05:44:42PM SO THIS IS MY FIRST ACT AS A RESIDENT OF -- SO -- I JUST --
05:44:49PM I ASK YOU TO CONSIDER THAT FIRST STEP.
05:44:51PM IT OUGHT TO BE LOWERED, RIGHT.
05:44:53PM THE SECOND THING IS GOING TO WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA
05:44:57PM SAID IS PARKING.
05:44:59PM NIGHTMARE SCENARIO.
05:45:01PM EVERYONE SAYS, AGAIN, WE WANT TO HAVE THE TRAIN GO UP WITHIN
05:45:09PM A BLOCK OF MY HOUSE.
05:45:10PM LOVE IT.
05:45:10PM WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THAT.
05:45:12PM BUT AS COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA SAID, WHEN, WHO, HOW, HOW
05:45:18PM MUCH?
05:45:20PM NOBODY IN THIS ROOM CAN ANSWER ANY OF THOSE QUESTIONS.
05:45:23PM WE ALL HAVE A GOOD FEELING ABOUT IT.
05:45:26PM WE WANT TO KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE A GOOD THING FOR TAMPA,
05:45:29PM A GOOD THING FOR TAMPA HEIGHTS AND ALL THE OTHER
05:45:33PM NEIGHBORHOODS THAT IT TOUCHES.
05:45:34PM BUT THERE IS NO CERTAINTY IT WILL EVER EXIST.
05:45:38PM SO NOW WHAT?
05:45:40PM 30% REDUCTION IN PARKING.
05:45:42PM WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE GOING TO PARK?
05:45:47PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS.
05:45:48PM >> WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE GOING TO PARK THAT ARE GOING TO GO
05:45:51PM TO THE NEW Y?
05:45:52PM WHERE DO YOU THINK THEY WILL PARK?
05:45:55PM NO PARKING ACROSS THE STREET BECAUSE THAT IS BEING
05:45:57PM DEMOLISHED.
05:45:58PM WE WILL HAVE NO PARKING IN THAT AREA ACCEPT ON ROSS.
05:46:02PM I DON'T EVEN HAVE A DRIVEWAY.
05:46:04PM IT WAS THE WAY IT WAS DESIGN IS.
05:46:06PM I LITERALLY WILL BE FIGHTING WITH PEOPLE FROM THE Y TO
05:46:10PM TRY TO PARK IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE.
05:46:12PM ANYWAY, I AM NOT HERE TO COMPLAIN.
05:46:14PM I AM LIKE YOU, I AM EXCITED ABOUT THE PROJECT, BUT I AM
05:46:17PM THINKING OF THAT FIRST STEP.
05:46:18PM THANK YOU.
05:46:19PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MR. FERNANDEZ, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME
05:46:22PM OPINION JUST A FORMALITY.
05:46:26PM >> RICK FERNANDEZ, 2906 NORTH ELMORE AVENUE IN TAMPA
05:46:32PM HEIGHTS.
05:46:32PM I AM APPEARING HERE TODAY AS PRESIDENT OF THE TAMPA HEIGHTS
05:46:36PM CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
05:46:38PM TO AVOID ANY CONFUSION, A FEW OF YOU ARE ON THE TPO BOARD.
05:46:42PM AND YESTERDAY YOU HEARD ME TALK OF A WALL ON THE EASTERN
05:46:46PM BOUNDARY OF ROBLES PARK.
05:46:47PM THEN I WAS SPEAKING FOR MYSELF.
05:46:49PM NOW I AM SPEAKING FOR THE ASSOCIATION.
05:46:51PM THE WALL IN THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT.
05:46:54PM THE YMCA STRUCTURES WILL BE IN THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE
05:46:58PM COMMUNITY.
05:46:58PM IN BOTH CASES, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ISSUES OF SCALE.
05:47:04PM WE ARE TALKING OF ISSUES OF IMPACT ON A HISTORIC DISTRICT.
05:47:07PM AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT LEGACY, BECAUSE BOTH PROJECTS WILL
05:47:12PM BE WITH US FOR GENERATIONS.
05:47:13PM SO IT WAS IMPORTANT, WE FELT, AS A BOARD THAT WE AT LEAST
05:47:17PM HAVE A STAKE IN THE GROUND AND THAT YOU KNOW THAT WE WEREN'T
05:47:20PM SLEEPING AT THE SWITCH DURING THIS MEETING.
05:47:23PM WITH THAT SAID, THE BOARD HAS NOT TAKEN AN INITIAL POSITION
05:47:27PM ON THIS REQUEST BY THE YMCA.
05:47:31PM WE HAVE BEEN ENGAGING AND LISTENING TO THE COMMUNITY AND
05:47:33PM MEETING WITH THE APPLICANTS FOR -- I AM TOLD A YEAR.
05:47:37PM I JUST TOOK OVER AS PRESIDENT TWO MONTHS AGO BUT APPARENTLY
05:47:42PM THESE DISCUSSIONS HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE A PERIOD OF
05:47:46PM TIME.
05:47:46PM THE Y CAME TO OUR GENERAL MEETING LAST MONTH.
05:47:50PM AND WE DID A SURVEY OF OUR MEMBERS.
05:47:52PM THE PROJECT SEEMS TO BE EVOLVING IN RESPONSE TO COMMUNITY
05:47:56PM CONCERNS BUT DETAILS ARE STILL VERY MUCH IN FLUX.
05:47:59PM SEEM TO BE EVOLVING ALMOST ON A DAILY BASIS.
05:48:02PM OUR CHARGE AS A CIVIC ASSOCIATION IS TO SUPPORT THE
05:48:05PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
05:48:07PM IN THIS CASE, IT MEANS FINDING A WAY TO SUPPORT THE Y, AND
05:48:13PM PROTECT THE INTERESTS OF RESIDENTS LIKE TOM, ESPECIALLY
05:48:18PM THOSE MOST PROXIMATE TO THE PROJECT.
05:48:19PM FAS OF TONIGHT, WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONFIDENTLY THREAD
05:48:24PM THAT NEEDLE.
05:48:24PM OUR MEMBERS HAVE PROVIDED DIVIDED FEEDBACK BOTH ON THE BOARD
05:48:28PM AND AMONG THE GENERAL MEMBERSHIP.
05:48:30PM SOME MEMBERS SUPPORT THE PROJECT AS PROPOSED.
05:48:33PM WHILE SOME OPPOSE CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT, EXPRESSING
05:48:37PM CONCERNS RELATED TO DENSITY, BUILDING HEIGHT AND TRAFFIC
05:48:40PM IMPACT.
05:48:41PM I'M SURE YOU WILL HEAR MUCH OF THAT THROUGH THE COURSE OF
05:48:44PM THE EVENING TODAY.
05:48:44PM THE Y HAS, IN FACT, BEEN RECEPTIVE.
05:48:49PM THEY HAVE MADE CHANGES TO THEIR PLANS OVER TIME AND WE
05:48:54PM BELIEVE THAT COMPROMISE IS POSSIBLE.
05:48:57PM THEY HAVE BEEN A GOOD NEIGHBOR AND A VALUED MEMBER OF THE
05:49:00PM COMMUNITY.
05:49:00PM WE ARE OPEN TO CONTINUED DISCUSSION.
05:49:02PM WE HOPE WE WILL END UP MAKING A LANDING VERY SOON BECAUSE
05:49:06PM THIS HAS DRUG ON FOR A WHILE.
05:49:07PM AND HOPEFULLY WITH YOUR HELP, WE WILL GET THERE.
05:49:11PM THIS CAN'T BE THE LAST DISCUSSION ON THIS POINT.
05:49:13PM I HOPE IT WON'T BE.
05:49:15PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
05:49:16PM I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
05:49:18PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
05:49:19PM ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM?
05:49:22PM YES, SIR.
05:49:23PM >> MY NAME IS MATT SINK OPINION 410 WEST PARK AVENUE, TAMPA
05:49:28PM HEIGHTS.
05:49:29PM I AM SPEAKING ONLY ABOUT THE COMP PLAN, INCREASING THE
05:49:31PM DENSITY.
05:49:32PM I WILL BE VERY NARROW ON THIS.
05:49:33PM WE ARE BUILDING A LEGACY.
05:49:35PM I KNOW THAT CHANGE IS SCARY FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE AND GOING
05:49:39PM FROM OUR LITTLE COMMUNITY TO A HIGHER DENSITY FREAKS A LOT
05:49:42PM OF PEOPLE OUT.
05:49:43PM BUT OFTEN WHAT WE FIND IS WHEN WE LEAD FROM FEAR, WE LEAVE
05:49:48PM OUT OPPORTUNITIES.
05:49:49PM OPPORTUNITIES TO HAVE MEANINGFUL TRANSPORTATION.
05:49:51PM OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE JOBS AND DENSITY THAT SUPPORT THE AREA
05:49:54PM THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A PLACE TO WALK TO AND HAVE SHOPS IN
05:49:58PM A BUZZING AREA NEIGHBORHOOD.
05:50:00PM AND BY KEEPING DENSITY LOW, WE ARE STAYING WITH THE STATUS
05:50:04PM QUO THAT A LOT OF US IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD WILL AGREE NOT
05:50:07PM WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR.
05:50:07PM BY INCREASING DENSITY AND INCREASING THE ABILITY TO HAVE THE
05:50:10PM THINGS THAT ARE DRIVING ARE IMPORTANT FACTORS FOR US NOW AND
05:50:15PM HOW PEOPLE WILL BE LIVING IN 20, 30 YEARS WHEN I AM AROUND
05:50:18PM IS SUPER IMPORTANT.
05:50:19PM I THINK THIS IS -- GOING TO A DENSITY HIGHER THAN THEY ARE
05:50:23PM PROPOSE SOMETHING A THING THAT CHANGES IT.
05:50:24PM A LOT OF TIME, PEOPLE ARE FEARFUL OF HAVING FLOOD ZONES AND
05:50:29PM ALL THESE THINGS.
05:50:30PM THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS A LOCATION THAT SAVES PEOPLE AND KEEP
05:50:33PM THEM OUT OF THE PLACE WHERE IS THEY CAN BE IN DANGER FOR
05:50:35PM FLOODING.
05:50:35PM WHERE ELSE WOULD YOU WANT TO HAVE DENSITY BESIDES THE
05:50:39PM HEIGHTS.
05:50:40PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
05:50:41PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM,
05:50:44PM IF NOT I WILL GO TO THE -- YES, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
05:50:48PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY.
05:50:51PM BEFORE THE CHANCE FOR REBUTTAL BEFORE YOU WILL ASK FOR NEXT.
05:50:56PM TO BRING IT IN CLOSURE WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU WITH THIS
05:50:59PM PARTICULAR ITEM.
05:50:59PM YOU HAVE A FUTURE LAND USE MAP IN FRONT OF YOU THAT WAS
05:51:03PM PROVIDED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
05:51:05PM THAT HAS THE CURRENT LAND USE DESIGNATION CERTAIN
05:51:11PM ENTITLEMENTS.
05:51:12PM WHAT IS ASKED OF YOU -- ON THE SECOND PAGE, WHAT IS ASKED IS
05:51:16PM A CHANGE IN LAND USE -- FUTURE LAND USE FOR THIS PARTICULAR
05:51:19PM PARCEL TO ALLOW A CERTAIN LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD
05:51:23PM NOT BE OTHERWISE ALLOWED IN THE PRESENT LAND USE.
05:51:27PM THIS, IN EFFECT, IS A LEGISLATIVE DECISION, THIS PARTICULAR
05:51:30PM ITEM.
05:51:30PM NOT QUASI-JUDICIAL.
05:51:32PM A THRESHOLD DECISION WHETHER THE FUTURE LAND USE THAT IS
05:51:36PM BEING REQUESTED IS APPROPRIATE FOR THIS LOCATION IN THE
05:51:40PM SENSE THAT IT IS WHAT THE CITY AND THE CITY COUNCIL INTENDS
05:51:44PM FOR THE FUTURE TO HOLD.
05:51:45PM SO ON THAT BASIS, IT IS REALLY A PUBLIC POLICY DECISION.
05:51:50PM AND ANYTHING WITH REGARD TO HEIGHT.
05:51:53PM WITH REGARD TO PARKING, THAT IS NOT APPROPRIATE TO THIS
05:51:57PM POINT.
05:51:57PM AND THIS DECISION AT THIS TIME.
05:51:59PM THIS IS A THRESHOLD DECISION AS TO WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE
05:52:02PM LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR THIS PARTICULAR APPLICATION.
05:52:05PM THANK YOU.
05:52:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
05:52:07PM YES, SIR.
05:52:08PM REBUTTAL?
05:52:12PM TYLER HUDSON, FOR THE RECORD.
05:52:15PM WHAT MARTY SAID.
05:52:17PM THE SOLE QUESTION BEFORE YOU IF THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE LAND
05:52:22PM AREA TO INCREASE DENSITY.
05:52:24PM THE CONSEQUENCES OF THAT WE WILL COVER LATER.
05:52:27PM BUT THE ONLY QUESTION IS WHETHER THIS IS GOOD FOR DENSITY.
05:52:30PM STAFF HAS SAID YES AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION BOARD ITSELF
05:52:35PM AND FOR YOU TO APPROVE THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT.
05:52:37PM THANK YOU.
05:52:38PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
05:52:39PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF.
05:52:42PM MR. COLLINS.
05:52:43PM MR. COLLINS.
05:52:45PM YES, BUT -- MR. COLLINS HAS BEEN IN CHARGE OF THIS PART SO
05:52:49PM FAR, SO I AM GOING TO GO BACK TO MR. COLLINS.
05:52:52PM SO JUST IN LOOKING AT THE MAP, I KNOW THAT THERE ARE
05:52:58PM PROJECTS THAT ARE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED IN THIS AREA, BUT I
05:53:03PM DON'T KNOW IF THE LAND USE HAD BEEN CHANGED FOR THESE
05:53:08PM PROJECTS.
05:53:09PM I AM THINKING OF A PROJECT ON 7th RIGHT NOW THAT IS THE
05:53:13PM WHOLE BLOCK.
05:53:15PM BUT IT SEEMS TO BE DIVIDED INTO LAND USE.
05:53:19PM AND I AM -- I AM -- I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE IN STAFF CAN
05:53:27PM SPEAK TO WHAT THE CURRENT LAND USE.
05:53:29PM MR. HUDSON IS STANDING UP.
05:53:31PM MAYBE HE CAN ANSWER THAT.
05:53:33PM >> TYLER HUDSON FOR THE RECORD.
05:53:34PM I HAPPEN TO WORK ON THAT PROJECT.
05:53:36PM THAT IS AN UNUSUAL PROJECT.
05:53:38PM BECAUSE THE DARK BROWN ON YOUR MAP IS R-83.
05:53:42PM THAT IS, LIKE, THE BAYSHORE CATEGORY.
05:53:46PM HIGH RESIDENTIAL.
05:53:48PM BUT DOESN'T DO MUCH FOR COMMERCIAL.
05:53:50PM AND NOT A SUPER POPULAR CATEGORY.
05:53:53PM THAT IS THE MOST COMPLICATED PROJECT THAT I WORKED ON.
05:53:56PM DOUBLING THE DENSITY AND COMBINING WITH THE F.A.R. -- AN ODD
05:54:04PM EXAMPLE OF CHANGING THE LAND USE OPINION WE THOUGHT ABOUT
05:54:06PM IT.
05:54:07PM BUT NORTH OF HERE THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF COLUMBUS AND
05:54:11PM TAMPA.
05:54:11PM THAT MIGHT BE FAMILIAR.
05:54:12PM THAT WAS ONLY ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS AGO.
05:54:15PM SO -- I WAS GOING TO MENTION THAT.
05:54:18PM AS FAR AS THE SEVENTH PARCEL, BECAUSE THE R-83 IT IS WEIRD.
05:54:24PM NOT A LEGAL ANSWER, BUT --
05:54:26PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT WAS RIGHT BEFORE I JOINED COUNCIL.
05:54:28PM I ACTUALLY SAT -- BECAUSE WE HAD A HEARING -- OUR
05:54:32PM NEIGHBORHOOD WAS IN FOR A HEARING RIGHT AFTER THAT.
05:54:34PM SO I LISTENED TO THIS, BUT I WASN'T FOCUSED ON LAND
05:54:38PM INTENSITY AT THE TIME.
05:54:40PM >> THAT WAS LIKE TWO YEARS AGO.
05:54:41PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YES, EXACTLY.
05:54:44PM THANK YOU.
05:54:45PM THAT ANSWERS MY QUESTION ABOUT LAND USE.
05:54:47PM BECAUSE I WAS EXPECTING TO SEE AT LEAST A SQUARE OF
05:54:49PM DIFFERENT LAND USE THERE.
05:54:51PM SO THANK YOU.
05:54:52PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
05:54:53PM >>LUIS VIERA: IF I MAY?
05:54:56PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR.
05:54:57PM >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
05:54:58PM MR. TYLER -- IF I MAY, MR. HUDSON -- IF I MAY, A COUPLE OF
05:55:03PM QUESTIONS.
05:55:03PM WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE OF DEVELOPMENT ENTITLEMENTS THAT HANG
05:55:07PM IN THE BALANCE IF YOU CAN DESCRIBE THAT?
05:55:10PM >> SURE, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CMU-35 OR CC-35 -- I
05:55:15PM WOULDN'T SAY MISLEADING.
05:55:17PM 35 UNITS AN ACRE, ONLY 30 UNITS OF ACRE AT THE BASE.
05:55:21PM YOU CAN BONUS UP TO 35.
05:55:22PM BUT YOU ARE GOING UP BY, I WOULD SAY, 50ISH PERCENT.
05:55:27PM THAT CDB PERIPHERY LINE.
05:55:30PM AND THIS IS ONE STEP UP INCREMENTALLY ON THE LADDER.
05:55:34PM SOMETIMES YOU THINK OF THE COLOR -- I DON'T KNOW IF THEY
05:55:37PM FOLLOW THE PANTONE COLOR WHEEL, BUT CMU-CC-35 IS COMMON.
05:55:45PM NEXT STEP UP IS RMU-100.
05:55:50PM >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
05:55:51PM FOR MR. SHELBY -- IF WE VOTE YES ON THIS PLAN RIGHT NOW,
05:55:57PM THERE HAVE BEEN NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS THAT I THINK ARE
05:56:00PM SERIOUS.
05:56:01PM AND I WILL TALK ABOUT THOSE IN A BIT, WITH REGARD TO HEIGHT,
05:56:05PM PARKING ISSUES, ETC.
05:56:06PM HOW WILL THAT AFFECT OUR ANALYSIS ON THE NEXT TWO VOTES.
05:56:09PM A YES VOTE NOW.
05:56:10PM WILL THAT AFFECT OUR ANALYSIS?
05:56:12PM WILL THAT AFFECT STAFF?
05:56:13PM WILL THAT CHANGE THE LENS WE LOOK AT THOSE?
05:56:17PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: ABSOLUTELY, MR. VIERA.
05:56:19PM QUITE FRANKLY, THE PROJECT CANNOT GO FORWARD IF YOU DO NOT
05:56:23PM INCREASE FROM THE REQUEST FROM WHAT IS PRESENT TO WHAT HAS
05:56:29PM BEEN REQUESTED.
05:56:29PM SO THAT IS -- AND AS YOU -- AS YOU ASKED, THERE ARE CERTAIN
05:56:36PM ENTITLEMENTS THAT COME WITH THIS DESIGNATION.
05:56:39PM AND THOSE ENTITLEMENTS IN TERMS OF DENSITY -- IF I MISSPEAK
05:56:47PM CORRECT ME, INCREASE.
05:56:48PM FROM A PUBLIC POLICY STANDPOINT, THAT IS YOUR INITIAL
05:56:51PM DETERMINATION.
05:56:52PM IF THIS DOES NOT GO FORWARD, FRANKLY, THEY CAN NOT DEVELOP.
05:56:56PM SO THAT WILL AFFECT YOUR SUBSEQUENT HEARINGS.
05:56:59PM AND I THINK -- DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?
05:57:03PM >>LUIS VIERA: YES, SIR, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
05:57:05PM MR. HUDSON, THIS IS MY BIG CONCERN WITH THIS RIGHT NOW.
05:57:08PM I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE VOTES ARE GOING TO GO ON THIS.
05:57:10PM YOU CAN NEVER TELL, RIGHT.
05:57:13PM SOME OF THE ISSUES I HEAR IN THE PUB -- YOU KNOW YOU HAVE
05:57:18PM SEEN ME UP HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS.
05:57:21PM YOU DON'T HEAR ME SAY YOU NEED TO CONTINUE TO TALK TO THE
05:57:24PM NEIGHBORHOOD MORE.
05:57:25PM SOMETIMES I SAY IT.
05:57:27PM SOMETIMES NOT.
05:57:27PM I DON'T ALWAYS PUSH THAT.
05:57:29PM SOME OF THE CONCERNS APPEAR TO BE VIABLE.
05:57:31PM AND WOULD JUSTIFY SOME MORE TALKS AS FAR AS I SEE IT, RIGHT.
05:57:35PM YOU KNOW, FROM GOING FORWARD WITH THIS -- FOR SOME OF THE
05:57:39PM CONCERNS I HEARD TODAY, THEY, TOO ME, ARE -- ARE VIABLE AND
05:57:44PM PROBLEMATIC.
05:57:45PM I KNOW YOU WILL BE ADDRESSING THEM LATER ON, BUT VOTING YES
05:57:48PM RIGHT NOW FOR ME, IT SORT OF GIVES A LOT OF LEEWAY TO
05:57:52PM PUSHING THAT FORWARD, AND GIVES LESS ACCOUNTABILITY AND A
05:57:56PM STOPGAP MEASURE ON MY PART, RIGHT.
05:57:59PM THOSE ARE MY FEELINGS AND I WANTED TO SHARE THEM WITH YOU.
05:58:02PM I KNOW WE HEARD SUPPORT FROM COUNCIL ON THIS, BUT JUST SOME
05:58:05PM OF MY HESITATION.
05:58:06PM THIS IS A GREAT JOB.
05:58:07PM I THINK THE NEIGHBORHOOD -- FROM WHAT I HEAR FROM THE
05:58:09PM NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY WANT THIS TO GO FORWARD.
05:58:12PM BUT THERE ARE SOME INCREMENTAL ISSUES THAT I THINK THEY HAVE
05:58:15PM CONCERNS ABOUT APRIL THIS DON'T WANT TO OVERLOOK.
05:58:19PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
05:58:21PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
05:58:23PM AND, AGAIN, I HAVE BEEN SCOLDED HERE TWICE.
05:58:25PM AND I ACCEPT IT.
05:58:26PM IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME AT ALL.
05:58:28PM BUT I AM NOT AGAINST THE PROJECT.
05:58:31PM A BEAUTIFUL PROJECT.
05:58:32PM EXACTLY WHAT THIS COUNCIL AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND
05:58:34PM CITY STAFF HAVE OPINION TALKING ABOUT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF
05:58:37PM TIME ABOUT DENSITY IN CERTAIN AREAS AND SCALING IT DOWN.
05:58:40PM IT MEETS ALL THAT CRITERIA.
05:58:42PM I BROUGHT UP PARK WHAT I SAW AND READING SOME OF THE FORMS
05:58:45PM AND I READ IT IN THE CONTENTS OF IT.
05:58:46PM SO THEN WHAT HAPPENS HERE IS, AND I AM JUST ASSUME GOING
05:58:52PM THIS GOES ON AND IT COMES TO A VOTE ON THE OTHER PART,
05:58:56PM WHETHER ZONING OF A LAND, WHAT HAPPENS?
05:59:01PM AND IF THIS IS PASSED.
05:59:02PM AND I AM -- I AM CHOOSING IN THIS THEORY.
05:59:05PM IF THIS PASSES, AND THE LAND, THEREFORE -- IN THE ZONING
05:59:11PM MATTER -- I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT US.
05:59:12PM I KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
05:59:14PM IT IS GOING TO END UP IN A HORRENDOUS LAWSUIT.
05:59:18PM AND THE PEOPLE ARE GREAT, THE OWNERS GREAT.
05:59:23PM THE NEIGHBORHOOD SPOKE FORWARD.
05:59:24PM THEY ARE ALL ENGAGED IN IT.
05:59:26PM I THINK IT IS A MINIMAL THING THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT LIKE
05:59:30PM COUNCILMAN VIERA TALKED ABOUT -- ABOUT THE ITEM THAT THE
05:59:32PM NEIGHBORHOOD TALKED ABOUT, THE CONCERNS THAT THEY HAVE.
05:59:34PM THEY WEREN'T GREAT TO THE PREPONDERANCE, BUT INDIVIDUALLY
05:59:40PM AFFECTED IN SOME MANNER.
05:59:42PM I AM NOT SAYING WE GOT TO BE PERFECT.
05:59:44PM NOTHING IN LIFE IS PERFECT, INCLUDING ME.
05:59:47PM >> IF I CAN RESPOND THAT.
05:59:49PM A LOT OF THE COMMENTS YOU HEARD WERE ABOUT THE REZONING.
05:59:51PM I THINK FOLKS MAY BE INTENDED TO SPEAK DURING THE ZONING.
05:59:54PM I AM NOT REALLY SURE, BUT YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE PROJECT.
05:59:58PM YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE PROJECT.
06:00:00PM AND IF THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT WERE TO FAIL, IT IS
06:00:03PM ALL OUT.
06:00:04PM IF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT PASSES, WE GO TO THE
06:00:07PM NEXT STEP WHICH IS THE RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATING.
06:00:08PM WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT THAT.
06:00:10PM THEN THE NEXT STEP IS THE ZONING.
06:00:11PM WE WORKED VERY HARD WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR A VERY LONG
06:00:14PM TIME.
06:00:14PM THERE ARE A LOT OF SUPPORTERS OF THIS PROJECT THAT DID NOT
06:00:17PM SPEAK NOW BECAUSE WE ASKED THEM TO WAIT UNTIL THE REZONING.
06:00:19PM THIS IS A TRANSFORMATIONAL PROJECT THAT WE HAVE MET WITH THE
06:00:23PM NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION ABOUT DOZENS OF TIMES.
06:00:26PM AND MATT MITCHELL WITH THE YMCA SHOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
06:00:30PM TO EXPLAIN THAT OUTREACH.
06:00:32PM BUT THE NARROW QUESTION THAT IS BEFORE YOU RIGHT NOW IS, IS
06:00:39PM THIS THE APPROPRIATE PLACE FOR DENSITY.
06:00:42PM IF WE GET TO THE REZONING AND AFTER ALL YOU HEARD, YOU NEED
06:00:45PM TO -- APPROVING THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT DOESN'T
06:00:50PM MEAN -- DOES NOT TIE YOUR HANDS AT ALL TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO
06:00:53PM DO WITH THE REZONING.
06:00:55PM THE QUESTION LEGISLATIVELY IN YOUR LEGISLATIVE CAPACITY, NOT
06:00:59PM TALKING OF EVIDENCE AND SCALES OF JUSTICE AND ALL THAT, IS
06:01:02PM THIS AN APPROPRIATE PLACE TO ALLOW MORE PEOPLE TO CALL HOME.
06:01:05PM ARMATURE WORKS ON THE WEEKENDS.
06:01:07PM PRETTY POPULAR.
06:01:09PM PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE THERE.
06:01:10PM WE TALK OF VIABILITY.
06:01:11PM THERE IS NOT A VIABLE AMOUNT OF DENSITY TO FINANCE A PROJECT
06:01:14PM ON THIS LAND UNLESS IT CAN BE A HOME FOR MORE PEOPLE SO YOUR
06:01:20PM EXPERT STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS SAID THIS IS
06:01:22PM CONSISTENT.
06:01:23PM THAT BOARD UNANIMOUSLY SAID IT WAS CONSISTENT.
06:01:26PM THE NEIGHBORS WHO HAVE CONCERN OF SCALE, YOU HAVEN'T EVEN
06:01:30PM SEEN THE SCALE.
06:01:31PM CONCERN ABOUT PARKING.
06:01:33PM WE HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN THE PARKING.
06:01:35PM I WOULD RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT IT WOULD BE PREMATURE TO
06:01:38PM CONTINUE OR DENY THEM DEFENSIBLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
06:01:43PM AMENDMENT WHICH I DO NOT THINK THE OPPOSITION YOU HEARD WAS
06:01:45PM ON TARGET FOR.
06:01:46PM AGAIN, I WILL ASK THAT YOU APPROVE THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
06:01:49PM AMENDMENT, LET US CONTINUE TO TELL THIS STORY.
06:01:52PM WE WILL SEE WHERE IT GOES, BUT WE DO NOT NEED MORE TIME WITH
06:01:55PM THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO DISCUSS WHETHER MORE PEOPLE SHOULD BE
06:01:58PM ABLE TO CALL THIS AREA HOME.
06:01:59PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: CLENDENIN, HURTAK AND VIERA.
06:02:01PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE I HAVE TO SAY
06:02:04PM BECAUSE I AM NOT A LAWYER, BUT MR. HUDSON TOOK THE WORDS
06:02:07PM RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH.
06:02:08PM EVERYTHING THAT HE JUST DESCRIBED IS WHAT IS TO DEVELOP.
06:02:12PM IF NOT HERE, THEN WHERE.
06:02:14PM I THINK IT IS REALLY -- INCUMBENT UPON US AS A COUNCIL AND
06:02:19PM SOMEONE PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE OF THE CITY LONG AFTER I AM
06:02:22PM GONE, BURIED SOMEWHERE, WITH I DON'T KNOW WHERE.
06:02:25PM WHAT THE CITY WILL LOOK LIKE.
06:02:27PM THIS IS IT IS EXACTLY -- IF NOT HERE, WHERE?
06:02:31PM BUILD IT IN BEACH PARK?
06:02:32PM ARE YOU GOING TO BUILD STUFF LIKE THIS IN THE MIDDLE OF WEST
06:02:35PM TAMPA IN THE HISTORICAL DISTRICT FOR YBOR CITY IN WHERE ARE
06:02:39PM YOU GOING TO PUT THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT?
06:02:42PM THE CONCERN I HEARD -- EVERYWHERE WE DEVELOP AND CHANGE THE
06:02:45PM PATTERN OF TAMPA IS GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON SOMEONE.
06:02:48PM I MEAN, AMATEUR WORKS CAME IN, THAT WAS -- THAT WAS A -- A
06:02:54PM VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOOD.
06:02:55PM AND DRAMATICALLY CHANGED HOW THAT NEIGHBORHOOD LOOKED.
06:03:00PM BUT YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS FUNCTIONING VERY WELL WITH THE
06:03:03PM GREATEST AMOUNT OF PEOPLE IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
06:03:06PM I THINK THIS IS AGAIN -- MAN, THERE IS NO SECRET HERE OR
06:03:10PM ANYWHERE OUT THERE THAT I AM A CHAMPION OF TRANSPORTATION
06:03:13PM AND A BIG CHAMPION OF EXTENDING THIS TROLLEY.
06:03:16PM I WILL TELL SOMEBODY WHEN?
06:03:18PM SIX, SEVEN YEARS WE WILL HAVE A TROLLEY RUNNING ON FLORIDA
06:03:21PM AND TAMPA IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT.
06:03:25PM SIX, SEVEN YEARS.
06:03:26PM I WISH IT WAS FASTER, BUT WELCOME TO GOVERNMENT.
06:03:28PM EVERYTHING TAKES THREE TIMES LONGER THAN ANYBODY ELSE TO GET
06:03:34PM SOMETHING LIKE THAT GOING.
06:03:35PM BUT WE ARE WORKING ON IT.
06:03:36PM ALL KINDS OF INNOVATIVE PLANS COME TO THE CITY AS FAR AS
06:03:40PM TRANSPORTATION.
06:03:41PM IF WE DON'T ENCOURAGE THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT, THESE THINGS
06:03:43PM ARE COSTLY.
06:03:44PM THIS PROJECT AND THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY THAT HAS GONE IN TO
06:03:49PM DEVELOPING THIS AND THE LAND USE IS PERFECT.
06:03:53PM IT IS A PERFECT LOCATION
06:03:54PM AGAIN WE ARE TALKING -- FOCUSING ON THE LAND USE.
06:03:57PM THE FUTURE OF TAMPA IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE.
06:03:59PM THIS IS THE FUTURE OF TAMPA.
06:04:01PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK THEN VIERA.
06:04:03PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I WANT TO TAKE THIS AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHY I DO
06:04:08PM NOT ENCOURAGE DEVELOPERS TO HAVE COMP PLANS AND REZONINGS ON
06:04:12PM THE SAME NIGHT.
06:04:13PM THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT WE KEEP HAVING.
06:04:15PM AND THAT IS WHY.
06:04:16PM BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T -- THE INABILITY TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE.
06:04:21PM SO I WANT TO REITERATE THAT BECAUSE MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE IS
06:04:26PM TO HAVE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND REZONINGS ON THE SAME NIGHT,
06:04:29PM BECAUSE IT DOES NOT ALLOW US TO VIEW THE ACTUAL CHANGE WAY
06:04:36PM IT NEEDS TO BE VIEWED.
06:04:37PM PEOPLE ARE COMING UP TALKING OF PARKING AND HEIGHT BECAUSE
06:04:41PM WE DON'T HAVE A CHANCE TO ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE POLICY.
06:04:43PM FROM A POLICY PERSPECTIVE, THIS MAKES SENSE TO ME, BECAUSE I
06:04:48PM HAVE -- I HAVE RMU-100.
06:04:50PM AND THEN GOES DOWN TO RMU -- SORRY, COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35.
06:04:56PM AND THERE IS NO BUFFER IN BETWEEN.
06:04:59PM THIS WILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT IN BETWEEN.
06:05:01PM BUT, TO ME, SHARING THE DENSITY IN THIS AREA MAKES PERFECT
06:05:05PM SENSE.
06:05:05PM AGAIN, THE WHOLE REASON I TURNED MY MIC ON IS STOP DOING
06:05:15PM COMP PLANS AND REZONINGS ON THE SAME NIGHT.
06:05:18PM >>LUIS VIERA: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, MY COMMENTS ARE IS THE
06:05:23PM PERFECT EXAMPLE WHY IT IS RIGHT.
06:05:25PM MR. HUDSON'S COMMENTS OF THIS BEING PREMATURE IS VERY, VERY
06:05:29PM WELL TAKEN.
06:05:30PM I THINK YOU CAN TELL FROM ALL OF US THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT.
06:05:33PM EVERYBODY WANTS TO GET IT, ETC., AND I AM SURE IT WILL
06:05:37PM HAPPEN IN ONE FORM OR THE OTHER.
06:05:39PM SUPPORTING THIS NO WAY MARRIES US TO PARTS TWO AND THREE AS
06:05:46PM YOU VERY WISELY PUT.
06:05:47PM I JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS SOME CONCERNS THAT I KNOW YOU WILL
06:05:51PM ADDRESS.
06:05:51PM I KNOW YOU WILL ADDRESS OBVIOUSLY AND WHATNOT.
06:05:54PM SO THAT'S ALL.
06:05:55PM THIS IS VERY LIMITED IN SCOPE.
06:05:56PM AND WISE COMMENTS.
06:05:58PM THANK YOU.
06:05:59PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
06:06:01PM COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON.
06:06:02PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: THANK YOU, CHAIR.
06:06:04PM MY CONCERN IS THE COMPATIBILITY TO THE COMMUNITY, MAKING
06:06:07PM THIS CHANGE PUTS US IN A WHOLE NEW BALL GAME IN TERMS OF
06:06:15PM WHAT IS THE POSSIBILITY FOR THIS CORRIDOR THAT IS A
06:06:19PM TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR.
06:06:21PM AND AT THE SAME TIME, BEING IN THE COMMUNITY THAT IS
06:06:25PM CURRENTLY BEING DEVELOPED.
06:06:26PM I DON'T -- I KNOW THAT -- BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH ON THE SAME
06:06:37PM NIGHT, YOU KNOW, MAKING THIS DECISION BECOMES CHALLENGING
06:06:41PM BECAUSE YOU -- IT CAN STOP HERE, YOU KNOW, WITH THIS CHANGE.
06:06:47PM MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE COMPATIBILITY TO THE COMMUNITY
06:06:52PM THAT EXISTS IN WHICH IS THE HISTORIC TAMPA HEIGHTS.
06:06:55PM AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CAN SAY ABOUT THAT IN TERMS OF,
06:06:59PM YOU KNOW, IT BEING CONSISTENT WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION,
06:07:05PM BUT IT IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH STAFF.
06:07:07PM >> IF I MAY.
06:07:10PM EVERY COMPONENT OF THIS APPLICATION BEFORE YOU HAS BEEN
06:07:13PM FOUND CONSISTENT.
06:07:13PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: EVEN WITH STAFF, OUR STAFF?
06:07:20PM >> THIS APPLICATION ONLY.
06:07:21PM THERE ARE OTHER APPLICATIONS THAT MAY AFFECT THIS LAND THAT
06:07:25PM HAVEN'T THAT THANK THAT CONCLUSION.
06:07:27PM EVERY SINGLE AGENCY OR BODY THAT REVIEWED THIS APPLICATION
06:07:30PM HAS FOUND IT CONSISTENT.
06:07:31PM AND FROM A COMPATIBILITY STANDPOINT, I WOULD NOTE, THE
06:07:35PM CATEGORY WE ARE TRYING TO UPGRADE TO, THAT'S ALL OF 7th
06:07:38PM AVENUE IN YBOR CITY.
06:07:40PM IT IS GANDY.
06:07:40PM IT IS KENNEDY.
06:07:41PM IT IS NOW PART OF COLUMBUS.
06:07:43PM THIS IS -- THIS IS A VERY DEFENSIBLE CATEGORY OF DENSITY TO
06:07:47PM HAVE IN A PLACE WHERE YOU HAVE THE HIGHEST FREQUENCY TRANSIT
06:07:51PM IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
06:07:52PM IT'S HERE.
06:07:53PM NO ONE HAS HAD -- NO STAFF MEMBERS HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE
06:07:57PM IDEA OF MORE PEOPLE BEING ALLOWED TO LIVE HERE.
06:08:00PM THE PLANNING COMMISSION VETTED THIS.
06:08:01PM THE APPOINTED MEMBERS.
06:08:03PM THEY HAVE HAD NO ISSUE WITH THAT.
06:08:05PM HOW WE USE THE DENSITY, THAT COMES IN A SEPARATE ZONING.
06:08:08PM THAT -- THAT IS DIFFERENT.
06:08:10PM OUR ONLY QUESTION HERE IS SHOULD MORE PEOPLE BE ALLOWED --
06:08:18PM IS THE AMOUNT OF DENSITY THAT 7th AVENUE HAS, IS THAT
06:08:21PM REASONABLE FOR PALM?
06:08:23PM WE THINK SO.
06:08:24PM WE THINK SO.
06:08:24PM WE THINK YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HAS -- IS REPLETE WITH
06:08:30PM PROVISIONS THAT STAND IN FAVOR OF SUPPORTING THIS.
06:08:33PM I AM NOT SURE WHAT PROVISIONS POINT TO YOU DENY IT GIVEN THE
06:08:37PM HOUSING ELEMENT, LAND USE ELEMENT, TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT,
06:08:43PM PUSHES WITH DENSIFICATION AND EXACTLY IN GEOGRAPHY.

06:15:08PM OKAY.
06:15:09PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
06:15:09PM >> GOOD EVENING AGAIN, TYLER HUDSON, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE
06:15:14PM FOR THE RECORD.
06:15:15PM POWERPOINT.
06:15:16PM ALL RIGHT.
06:15:25PM SOMETIMES A PICTURE IS WORTH 1,000 WORDS OR PROBABLY FIVE
06:15:30PM MINUTES OF A LAWYER TALKING.
06:15:31PM 1888, GEORGE WASHINGTON KLEIN HAD THIS FIRST EDITION TO
06:15:36PM HIGHLAND PARK.
06:15:37PM A FAMILIAR GRID PATTERN MOST OF TAMPA HEIGHTS AND THE OLDER
06:15:41PM NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE CITY HAD AT THAT POINT.
06:15:43PM THINGS HAVE COME A LONG WAY SINCE THEN AND THESE GRID
06:15:47PM PATTERNS HAVE BEEN DISRUPTED.
06:15:48PM A LOT OF PLACES.
06:15:49PM I THINK YBOR CITY, THE GASWORX AREA.
06:15:53PM THE GRADE HAS BEEN SEVERELY DEGRADED AS WELL.
06:15:57PM AND SANBORN MAP, 1913.
06:16:00PM 27 YEARS LATER, PRETTY FAMILIAR PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT.
06:16:05PM HORIZONTAL EAST TO WEST ALLEY AND HOUSES IN YELLOW MEAN THEY
06:16:10PM ARE RESIDENTIAL HOMES RIGHT THERE BETWEEN OAK AND PALM.
06:16:13PM FOR REASONS I THINK LOST TO HISTORY, AT SOME POINT IN 1968,
06:16:17PM SOME FOLKS DECIDED TO PUNCH FRANKLIN STREET NORTH, HALFWAY
06:16:24PM THROUGH THE BLOCK.
06:16:25PM AND THEN GO DIAGONALLY IN TWO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS TO
06:16:29PM CONNECT TO PALM AND FLORIDA AND TAMPA.
06:16:33PM THE LITTLE PIECE THAT RUNS OFF TO THE LEFT, THAT IS NOT AS
06:16:40PM STRANGE.
06:16:41PM AN OLD ALLEY SEEKING THE VACATING OF.
06:16:45PM THAT IS WHAT THE COUNCIL SEES, OLD ALLEY.
06:16:47PM I NEVER SEEN A SHAPE LIKE THIS BEFORE.
06:16:49PM I WOULDN'T DOUBT THAT THE Y SHAPE PREDATED THE YMCA FACILITY
06:16:55PM THERE.
06:16:55PM IT IS NOT A JOKE.
06:16:57PM AS THINGS GO ON, THE CITY NO LONGER ALLOWS YOU TO GO NORTH
06:17:02PM UP FRANKLIN STREET AND GO TO THE RIGHT.
06:17:05PM STILL FORGET A LITTLE BIT.
06:17:06PM WHAT YOU CAN DO IS GO DOWN TAMPA STREET SOUTHWARD.
06:17:09PM YOU CAN EITHER TAKE A RIGHT ON TO PALM.
06:17:11PM LEFT ON TO PALM.
06:17:12PM STRAIGHT DOWN TAMPA.
06:17:13PM AND CONFUSINGLY, DIAGONAL DOWN THIS Y OF FRANKLIN STREET.
06:17:19PM WHAT YOU CAN SEE HERE IN GREEN IS -- THAT IS THE LAND THAT
06:17:24PM IS OWNED BY THE TAMPA METROPOLITAN YMCA.
06:17:28PM SO THIS ISN'T REALLY AN IDEA DEVELOPMENT CONFIGURATION.
06:17:32PM IT RENDERS THE LAND UNDEVELOPABLE TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF
06:17:38PM SPLIT.
06:17:38PM WHAT IT DOES IS ROBS -- ROBS A BLOCK OF WHAT WOULD PROBABLY
06:17:42PM MAKE THE MOST SENSE WHICH WOULD BE A STRAIGHT CONNECTION
06:17:45PM BETWEEN OAK AND PALM.
06:17:46PM SO CONTINUE THE FRANKLIN STREET SORT OF YELLOW BRICK ROAD UP
06:17:51PM PALM INSTEAD OF HAVING THIS SORT OF ODD FORK IN THE ROAD
06:17:54PM THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS.
06:17:57PM MAKE SURE TO SKIP THIS SLIDE.
06:17:58PM WHAT WE ARE -- WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO DO IS VACATE THE
06:18:04PM RED, AND GIVE PUBLIC EASEMENT IN THE BLUE.
06:18:06PM TRY TO RECONNECT THE GRID.
06:18:08PM SO WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING IN THE BLUE IS 70 FEET WIDE.
06:18:17PM PEDESTRIAN EASEMENT.
06:18:18PM PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC AND FOR THE PUBLIC.
06:18:21PM WE CAN NEVER CLOSE THIS AS YOU CAN SEE WITH THE NEXT
06:18:25PM PRESENTATION.
06:18:25PM WE HAVE IDEAS WHAT TO DO ABOUT THAT THAT'S THAT PIECE.
06:18:31PM STRAIGHTFORWARD.
06:18:31PM IT IS CONTINUING WITH THE FRANKLIN STREET NORTH BUT NO CARS.
06:18:35PM WE DO NOT THINK THAT THIS PARTICULAR PIECE HAS CARS GOING TO
06:18:46PM PALM.
06:18:46PM SOMETHING WE CAN TALK ABOUT LATER.
06:18:48PM NORTH OF PALM, ABOVE THE WORDS "PALM AVENUE" ON SCREEN, WE
06:18:53PM ARE PROPOSING TO PROVIDE AN EASEMENT TO THE CITY IN
06:18:56PM PERPETUITY OF THE ENTIRE 15 FEET OF THAT PARCEL FOR TRANSIT.
06:19:01PM PEDESTRIANS TOO.
06:19:02PM NOT VEHICLES.
06:19:03PM WE ARE GOING TO BE PRETTY BROAD OF WHAT TRANSIT INCLUDES.
06:19:06PM BECAUSE THINGS CAN OBVIOUSLY CHANGE OVER TIME.
06:19:09PM THE ORIGINAL THOUGHT, THE STREETCAR, CITY, FDOT, HART, THE
06:19:15PM DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOLKS, SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON
06:19:18PM ENGINEERING WHAT THE ALIGNMENTS WILL LOOK LIKE, THEY CALL
06:19:22PM FOR A STATION AREA ON THE NORTH SIDE OF PALM WHICH IS THE
06:19:25PM SOUTHERN PORTION OF THAT BLOCK AT THE TOP.
06:19:27PM THE LAST THING WE WANT TO DO -- THAT THE YMCA WANTS TO DO IS
06:19:32PM HINDER OR PROHIBIT THAT FROM HAPPENING.
06:19:34PM THE TIMING OF SOME OF THE PLANS ARE A LITTLE UNCERTAIN, WE
06:19:37PM ARE DEDICATING THAT EASEMENT THAT SORT OF FUNCTIONS AS A
06:19:42PM LAND SWAP AND EASEMENT SWAP.
06:19:44PM THAT IS WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING.
06:19:46PM I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY OBJECTIONS OR OPPOSITION TO THIS ONE.
06:19:50PM MAKES SENSE.
06:19:51PM IT CLEANS UP THE BLOCK.
06:19:52PM BETTER FOR PEDESTRIANS.
06:19:53PM BETTER FOR CARS.
06:19:58PM OF YOU WHO DRIVE THAT WAY.
06:20:03PM NO ONE HAD OBJECTIONS.
06:20:06PM TWO EASEMENTS REQUESTED.
06:20:08PM ACTUALLY THREE.
06:20:08PM TECO, TRANSPORTATION HAD THE EASEMENT THAT TALKED ABOUT.
06:20:13PM WASTEWATER HAS ONE.
06:20:15PM AND THAT YELLOW PLATTED PIECE, RELOCATING ANY BUILDINGS THAT
06:20:25PM ARE THERE.
06:20:25PM BUT THEY HAVE THE WASTEWATER EASEMENT THERE.
06:20:31PM THAT IS ALL I HAVE AND REQUEST ASK THAT YOU SUPPORT THIS
06:20:35PM VACATING.
06:20:36PM THANK YOU.
06:20:36PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
06:20:37PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
06:20:38PM DO YOU HAVE ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON

06:23:33PM >>DANNY COLLINS: DANNY COLLINS WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION
06:23:38PM STAFF.
06:23:38PM I WAS SWORN IN.
06:23:39PM THE FIRST CASE IS WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING
06:23:44PM DISTRICT.
06:23:45PM SPECIFICALLY IN THE TAMPA HEIGHTS URBAN VILLAGE.
06:23:48PM SUBJECT SITE IS WITHIN THE COASTAL PLANNING AREA,
06:23:52PM SPECIFICALLY EVACUATION ZONE E.
06:23:54PM SUBJECT SITE WITHIN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA.
06:24:01PM HERE IS AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
06:24:04PM THE REQUEST CONSISTENCY OF SEVEN FOLIOS.
06:24:08PM AS YOU CAN SEE, I DESCRIBED THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THE
06:24:12PM PREVIOUS HEARING, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT IS GENERALLY AROUND THE
06:24:16PM VICINITY OF NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE AND EAST PALM AVENUE IN
06:24:19PM TAMPA HEIGHTS.
06:24:20PM HERE IS ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND AGAIN THIS IS
06:24:27PM CURRENTLY WHAT IS ADOPTED.
06:24:29PM THIS DOESN'T REFLECT THE URBAN 60 LAND USE DESIGNATION.
06:24:33PM CURRENTLY ADOPTED UNDER THE CC-35.
06:24:37PM AND CONTINGENT TO TA/CPA 23-05 FOR THE URBAN MIXED USE 60
06:24:44PM DESIGNATION.
06:24:45PM AS YOU CAN, IT IS SURROUNDED BY THE CC-35 DESIGNATION.
06:24:50PM ONE BLOCK TO THE EAST IS RESIDENTIAL 38 WHICH ANTICIPATES
06:24:53PM HIGH DENSITY UP TO 83 UNITS PER ACRE AND ONE BLOCK EAST.
06:25:04PM THIS -- THIS REZONING IS CONTINGENT ON TA-CPA 23-05.
06:25:11PM APPLICANT IS UTILIZING 5.1.6 TO WAIVE THE FLOOR AREA RATIO
06:25:18PM THROUGH A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT REZONING.
06:25:19PM AND THAT IS DESCRIBED ON NOTE OF YOUR SITE PLAN.
06:25:23PM ADDITIONALLY THE PORTIONS OF THE SUBJECT SITE SOUTH OF EAST
06:25:26PM PALM AVENUE ARE WITHIN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS CDB PERIPHERY
06:25:31PM BONUS AREA.
06:25:32PM UTILIZING THE BONUS AND ENTERED INTO A BONUS AGREEMENT WITH
06:25:35PM THE CITY TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL SQUARE FOOTAGE ON THE SUBJECT
06:25:40PM SITE.
06:25:40PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HAS A DEVELOPMENT THAT IS SENSITIVE TO
06:25:43PM ADJACENT USES TO MINIMIZE IMPACT ON SURROUNDING AREA.
06:25:46PM PARCEL B WHICH IS THE NORTHWEST PARCEL, SHOWN HERE, OR
06:25:50PM NORTHEAST PARCEL.
06:25:51PM I APOLOGIZE, ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL USES TO THE WEST.
06:25:55PM AND IT IS SENSITIVE TO THE RESIDENTIAL USES.
06:25:59PM AND AN ALLEY SEPARATES THOSE USES AND THE SETBACK FOR THE
06:26:03PM PROPOSED STRUCTURE IS 14.2 FEET THAT WE FOUND NOT THE INTENT
06:26:09PM OF POLICY 9.3.1 AND 15.2.4.
06:26:13PM ALSO ENCOURAGES THE USE OF AN ALLEY WHICH HAS VEHICULAR
06:26:18PM ACCESS.
06:26:19PM THE PROPOSED ACCESS WILL HELP PRESERVE THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AND
06:26:22PM PROVIDE A SAFER POSITIVE STREETSCAPE FOR PEDESTRIANS THAT
06:26:27PM ARE ENCOURAGED BY THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
06:26:28PM REZONING WILL ALLOW BETTER UTILIZATION OF THE LAND THAT IS
06:26:31PM CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE CC-35
06:26:35PM AND URBAN MIXED USE-60 DESIGNATION.
06:26:38PM THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ENCOURAGES NEW HOUSING ON
06:26:41PM VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED LAND TO MEET THE NEEDS OF TAMPA'S
06:26:45PM PRESENT AND FUTURE POPULATIONS.
06:26:46PM FURTHERMORE, THE REQUEST SUPPORTS INFILL POLICY 1.1.17 WHICH
06:26:53PM DIRECTS THE GREATER SHAVE, SHARE OF GROWTH TO THE URBAN
06:26:57PM VILLAGES.
06:26:57PM AGAIN IN THE TAMPA HEIGHTS URBAN VILLAGE.
06:26:59PM FINALLY, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FINDS THE REQUEST
06:27:02PM ADDRESSES THE MIXED USE CENTER AND CORRIDOR POLICY AND THE
06:27:06PM REQUEST IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING
06:27:08PM AREA AND CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN UNDER
06:27:11PM THE UMU-60 AND CC-35.
06:27:15PM BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION FINDS
06:27:18PM THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
06:27:20PM THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
06:27:23PM AND I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

06:27:52PM THIS IS PALM AVENUE.
06:27:53PM THIS IS TAMPA STREET.

06:34:35PM THEN THIS IS THE EAST ELEVATION AND THIS IS THE WEST
06:34:40PM ELEVATION.
06:34:40PM THE LENGTH HISTORY BUILDING WILL RUN ALONG FLORIDA.
06:34:48PM THIS IS BUILDING THREE.
06:34:52PM SO THIS IS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF PALM.
06:34:56PM THIS COUNTY NORTH ELEVATION THAT IS ON THE LEFT.
06:35:02PM AND THEN IS THE WEST ELEVATION.
06:35:07PM THIS IS ON -- THE OFFICE.
06:35:09PM BUILDING FOUR -- I HAVE THE ELEVATION.
06:35:15PM THIS IS THE SOUTH ELEVATION.
06:35:20PM ON THE LEFT.
06:35:25PM THIS IS THE EAST ELEVATION.
06:35:26PM THEN THE LAST BUILDING IS BUILDING FIVE THAT I WILL SHOW.
06:35:30PM I AM JUST SHOWING TWO -- TWO SIDES OF EFFORT ELEVATION JUST
06:35:33PM FOR THE SAKE OF TIME.
06:35:34PM THIS IS THE WEST ELEVATION.
06:35:38PM AND THEN THIS IS THE EAST ELEVATION.
06:35:42PM THEN I HAVE PICTURES OF THE SITE.
06:35:49PM I DON'T WANT TO SHOW TOO MANY PICTURES BECAUSE YOU HAVE SEEN
06:35:54PM PICTURES PRESENTED TO YOU BY PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
06:35:56PM AND THEN I WILL GO INTO THE FINDING.
06:35:58PM FROM STAFF.
06:36:05PM I APOLOGIZE.
06:36:07PM I DON'T WANT TO SHOW DUPLICATES.
06:36:10PM THIS IS IF YOU ARE LOOKING SOUTH OF FLORIDA AVENUE.
06:36:13PM THE EAST SIDE OF PROJECT THAT IS ON THE EAST SIDE OF
06:36:15PM FLORIDA.
06:36:16PM THIS IS THE PARCEL.
06:36:17PM AND IF YOU WERE LOOKING THAT WAY.
06:36:18PM THIS IS THE REVIEW WHERE YOU WILL HAVE THE TALLEST HEIGHT OF
06:36:21PM THE BUILDING IN THAT VIEW, LOOKING TO THE SOUTH.
06:36:24PM THIS IS IF -- THIS IS THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF FLORIDA AND
06:36:30PM PALM.
06:36:30PM THIS IS LOOKING NORTH.
06:36:33PM THIS IS MORE CENTRAL TO THE SOUTH.
06:36:36PM IT IS ON THE NORTH END ON TAMPA.
06:36:37PM I HAVE PICTURES THAT I WANT TO SHOW.
06:36:42PM THIS IS A VIEW THAT IS WEST OF THE SITE.
06:36:52PM THE SCHOOL IS HERE.
06:36:53PM THIS IS PART OF THE SITE.
06:36:54PM THIS WOULD BE THE CENTRAL PART JUST NORTH OF PALM ON -- ON
06:36:59PM THE NORTH SIDE OF PALM.
06:37:00PM THIS IS A VIEW IF YOU ARE ON ROSS AND TAMPA AND LOOKING
06:37:04PM SOUTH ON TAMPA.
06:37:04PM THIS SHOWS YOU ARE PART OF THE HEIGHTS DEVELOPMENT WHICH HAS
06:37:08PM BEEN MENTIONED.
06:37:09PM THE HEIGHTS AT THE HEART OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT HAS THE RMU
06:37:14PM LAND USE -- FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION WHICH IS THE MOST
06:37:17PM INTENSE DESIGNATION IN THE CITY.
06:37:19PM THE NORTHERN BOUNDARY OF THAT DEVELOPMENT OF DEVELOPMENT IS
06:37:21PM RESIDENTIAL-35.
06:37:22PM IT IS AN R-35 LAND USE CATEGORY.
06:37:27PM AND THAT DEVELOPMENT HAS STEPPED DOWN THE HEIGHT AT THE
06:37:31PM NORTH AND ADJACENT TO THE RESIDENTIAL THAT EXISTS, NORTH OF
06:37:35PM ROSS.
06:37:35PM IT IS FOR THAT REASON -- BUT I WANTED TO SHOW THIS VIEW.
06:37:38PM YOU CAN SEE THAT PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT IT HAS BEEN
06:37:41PM BUILT.
06:37:41PM IT GIVES YOU AN IDEA ON THE STORIES AND THE SCALE OF THE
06:37:46PM BUILDING THAT EXISTS, WHICH IS UNDER TEN STORIES.
06:37:49PM THIS IS ON ROSS, IF YOU ARE LOOKING WEST.
06:37:53PM NORTH OF BUILDING ONE.
06:37:55PM AND THIS IS JUST TO GIVE YOU HAVE A VIEW ON ROSS OF THE
06:37:58PM RESIDENTIAL THAT EXISTS.
06:37:59PM SO YOU CAN SEE THE VIEW ON THE STREET.
06:38:01PM YOU WILL BE LOOKING TOWARD THE PROJECT AREA THERE.
06:38:05PM THIS IS JUST EAST OF THE SOUTH -- OF THE SITE.
06:38:08PM THE LOT THAT IS TO THE EAST OF FLORIDA, THIS IS WHAT EXISTS
06:38:12PM NEXT TO IT.
06:38:13PM THE TWO STORY.
06:38:15PM AND THAT IS FURTHER EAST.
06:38:16PM AND DRC STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FINDS THE REQUEST
06:38:24PM INCONSISTENT.
06:38:25PM MENTIONED IN THE STAFF REPORT IS TO SEE THE FINDINGS FROM
06:38:28PM THE ARC, THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMISSION, ALONG WITH
06:38:32PM DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION FINDING REGARDING SCALE AND
06:38:36PM MASSING.
06:38:36PM ALSO TRANSPORTATION'S FINDING RELATED TO PARKING AND
06:38:39PM MANEUVERING WAIVERS THAT ARE REQUESTED.
06:38:41PM ALSO ON THE STAFF REPORT, I JUST WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT
06:38:45PM ON PAGE 9 AND 10 OF THE STAFF REPORT, THE ANALYSIS IS
06:38:50PM PROVIDED AND SPEAKS TO THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT.
06:38:53PM AND ENCOURAGING DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS APPROPRIATE IN
06:38:57PM LOCATION, CHARACTER AND COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING
06:39:00PM IMPACTED NEIGHBORHOODS.
06:39:01PM SO WHAT YOU WILL FIND IS PART OF THAT ANALYSIS IS THE
06:39:05PM DISCUSSION REGARDING THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT PROPOSED WHICH IS
06:39:08PM 325 FEET OR 24 FLOORS.
06:39:12PM AND STAFF HAS A CONCERN REGARDING THE IMPACTS TO THE
06:39:15PM DEVELOPMENT TO THE EAST THAT EXIST, WHICH IS THE RESIDENTIAL
06:39:17PM DEVELOPMENT.
06:39:18PM ALSO WITHIN THAT, THE CLOSEST DEVELOPMENT WITH THE
06:39:22PM COMPARABLE SCALE IS THE HEIGHTS DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS
06:39:25PM RECENTLY APPROVED IN 2018.
06:39:27PM AS I MENTIONED, THE NORTHERN BOUNDARIES OF THAT DEVELOPMENT,
06:39:30PM ALONG WITH THE WESTERN BOUNDARIES HAVE THAT R-35 -- THAT
06:39:35PM LOWER RESIDENTIAL LAND USE CATEGORY, WHICH ALLOWS FOR THAT
06:39:39PM STEP DOWN.
06:39:39PM THIS IS R UMU-60, WHICH IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN,
06:39:45PM ENCOURAGES BUILDING UP TO TEN STORIES.
06:39:48PM AND STAFF JUST HAS A CONCERN REGARD WHAT IS PROPOSED AND THE
06:39:53PM COMPATIBILITY.
06:39:54PM OF WHAT EXISTS.
06:39:57PM AND I AM GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO ELAINE.
06:40:00PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
06:40:02PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I WANT TO SATISFY MY OWN MIND.
06:40:04PM YOU MENTION ONE BUILDING, THE NORTHERN BUILDING, SEVEN
06:40:09PM FLOORINGS OF PARKING, AM I CORRECT?
06:40:11PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THE NEW BUILDING ON THE EAST WOULD HAVE THE
06:40:14PM SEVEN FLOORS.
06:40:15PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THE BUILDING ON THE EAST IS FOUR
06:40:21PM STORIES.
06:40:21PM ON THE EAST SIDE OF FLORIDA.
06:40:23PM WHERE THE YMCA ON PALM HAS THE SEVEN FLOORS OF PARKING.
06:40:27PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: RIGHT.
06:40:28PM THIS IS THE BUILDING ON THE EAST THAT HAS THE FOUR STORIES.
06:40:31PM THAT IS ON THE EAST SIDE OF FLORIDA.
06:40:33PM NEXT TO THE RESIDENTIAL THAT I SHOWED THE RESIDENTIAL
06:40:36PM BUILDING THAT IS TWO STORIES.
06:40:38PM THIS IS SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED USE.
06:40:41PM BUILDING ONE IS SORT OF CENTRAL ON THE NORTH SIDE OF PALM
06:40:46PM AVENUE.
06:40:46PM IT ENCOMPASSES THE BLOCK FROM TAMPA TO FLORIDA, AND THAT
06:40:51PM WILL CONTAIN 24 FLOORS OR 274 FEET.
06:40:54PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THAT BUILDING HAS 17 STORIES OF
06:40:59PM RESIDENTIAL.
06:40:59PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THIS HAS THE GARAGE INCORPORATED IN AND THEN
06:41:04PM RESIDENTIAL.
06:41:04PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THE BUILDINGS HAVE ANY PARKING GARAGES AT
06:41:07PM ALL?
06:41:07PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THE OTHER BUILDINGS?
06:41:09PM I BELIEVE THERE IS ON THE SOUTH, THERE IS A SIX FLOORS OF
06:41:14PM PARKING.
06:41:14PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: 23-FLOOR BUILDING --
06:41:19PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I WANT IT ON THE RECORD BECAUSE YOU
06:41:21PM MENTIONED ONE BUILDING WITH FLOORS OPINION.
06:41:22PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE WILL WAIT FOR THE APPLICANT.
06:41:25PM BECAUSE I AM CURIOUS.
06:41:26PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: I AM AVAILABLE IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER
06:41:30PM QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.
06:41:31PM AND I WILL TURN IT OVER TO ELAINE TO GIVE HER COMMENTS.
06:41:33PM I AM ALSO GOING TO PROVIDE A REVISED REVISION SHEET THAT WAS
06:41:39PM PROVIDED ON THE RECORD FROM THE APPLICANT AND STAFF AGREES
06:41:41PM WITH THE CHANGES THAT ARE LISTED.
06:41:43PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

06:41:45PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
06:41:46PM >>ELAINE LUND: GOOD EVENING, ELAINE LUND, HISTORIC
06:41:51PM PRESERVATION STAFF.
06:41:52PM I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU FIRST A QUICK VISUAL.
06:41:55PM HOPEFULLY THAT WILL SHOW UP ON YOUR SCREEN AS WELL.
06:41:58PM THIS IS JUST A MAP SHOWING THE -- GOING TO BUG ME -- THIS IS
06:42:04PM A MAP SHOWING THE OUTLINES OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.
06:42:07PM RED ONE IS OUR LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT BOUNDARY WHICH IS
06:42:12PM WHAT I AM CONCERNED WITH TODAY.
06:42:13PM THE BLUE LINE IS THE HISTORIC DISTRICT BOUNDARY.
06:42:16PM THE PAR SELF-S SHOWN IN GREEN ARE THOSE THAT ARE WITHIN THE
06:42:20PM -- WITHIN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT THAT ARE PART OF THIS
06:42:24PM PROPOSED REZONING.
06:42:27PM WITH THAT, THE ARC REVIEWED THIS PROPOSED REZONING AT ITS
06:42:31PM PUBLIC HEARING ON DECEMBER 6 OF 2023.
06:42:34PM THE ARC IS CHARGED WITH REVIEWING LAND USE CHANGES AS THEY
06:42:41PM WOULD -- AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY WOULD PRESERVE THE
06:42:44PM HISTORIC INTEGRITY AND APPEARANCE OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.
06:42:48PM ARC VOTED TO RECOMMEND THAT CITY COUNCIL DENY THE REQUEST AS
06:42:56PM PRESENTED AT THE PUBLIC HEARING THAT IT DOES NOT PRESERVE
06:42:58PM THE HISTORIC INTEGRITY AND APPEARANCE OF THE DISTRICT AND
06:43:02PM THAT THE PROPOSED REZONING WILL ALLOW FOR MASSING AT
06:43:05PM SETBACKS TO NOT ADHERE TO THE DESIGN STANDARDS FOR TAMPA
06:43:08PM HEIGHTS.
06:43:08PM SO I AM AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS.
06:43:10PM THANK YOU.
06:43:11PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
06:43:13PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
06:43:13PM MR. HUDSON.
06:43:14PM >> MR. MITCHELL IS ACTUALLY GOING TO KICK THINGS OFF.
06:43:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT, BEFORE WE BEGIN BECAUSE I
06:43:27PM HAVE A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE COME IN AND I KNOW MOST OF YOU WERE
06:43:30PM SWORN IN.
06:43:30PM IF YOU CAME IN AFTER WE ASKED FOLKS TO BE SWORN IN, AND WERE
06:43:35PM NOT SWORN IN, STAND AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND WE WILL
06:43:38PM WEAR YOU IN.
06:43:39PM SIR IN THE BACK, AGAINST THE DOOR.
06:43:45PM PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.
06:43:46PM I THINK THAT IS EVERYBODY.
06:43:47PM GO AHEAD.
06:43:48PM [SWEARING IN]
06:43:58PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
06:43:59PM STATE YOUR NAME.
06:44:00PM >> MATT MITCHELL.
06:44:02PM THE PRIVILEGE OF PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE TAMPA YMCA.
06:44:08PM FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
06:44:10PM THIS IS A TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECT FOR TAMPA HEIGHTS.
06:44:13PM IT IS ESPECIALLY A TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECT FOR THE YMCA.
06:44:17PM THE Y IS THE OLDEST SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCY IN TAMPA.
06:44:21PM WE HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE 1889.
06:44:23PM 135 YEARS WE SERVED TAMPA.
06:44:25PM AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE HAD A GREAT PRESENCE ON FLORIDA
06:44:28PM AVENUE SINCE 190.
06:44:29PM FIRST YMCA FACILITY ON THE CORNER OF NORTH FLORIDA AND EAST
06:44:33PM ZACK STREET.
06:44:33PM THAT BROUGHT TAMPA ITS VERY FIRST INDOOR SWIMMING POOL.
06:44:37PM FIRST GYMNASIUM, BUT THE YMCA HAS LONGEVITY BECAUSE WE
06:44:43PM CONTINUE TO EVOLVE.
06:44:44PM THERE IS A REASON WHY THIS ORIGINAL HAS BEEN ABLE TO
06:44:47PM CONSISTENTLY SERVE AND IMPACT RESIDENTS OF TAMPA FOR WELL
06:44:51PM OVER A CENTURY.
06:44:52PM IT IS BECAUSE WE EVOLVE.
06:44:54PM TODAY WE ARE AN ORGANIZATION THAT SERVES OVER 250,000
06:44:57PM INDIVIDUALS EACH AND EVERY YEAR.
06:44:59PM OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS, 35,000 OF THEM ARE INDIVIDUALS WHO
06:45:06PM LIVE RIGHT HERE IN TAMPA -- I AM SORRY, 56,000 OF THOSE
06:45:10PM INDIVIDUALS LIVE RIGHT HERE IN TAMPA.
06:45:12PM THAT REPRESENTS 30,000 DISTINCT FAMILIES THAT LIVE HERE IN
06:45:18PM TAMPA THAT DEPEND ON THIS YMCA.
06:45:20PM WE REINVEST OVER $12.2 MILLION -- WE INVESTED OVER
06:45:31PM $12.2 MILLION BACK IN THE COMMUNITY AND SCHOLARSHIPS.
06:45:37PM NO ONE HAS EVER TURNED AWAY FROM OUR ORGANIZATION IF THEY
06:45:39PM WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN YMCA PROGRAMS.
06:45:41PM IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD YOUR MEMBERSHIP, THE YMCA SUBSIDIZES.
06:45:45PM IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD DAY CAMP, THE YMCA HELPS YOU PAY FOR
06:45:49PM THAT.
06:45:49PM WE ARE AN ORGANIZATION THAT NEVER REALLY TRIES TO EXPLOIT
06:45:52PM OUR COMMUNITY FOR OUR OWN PERSONAL GAIN.
06:45:54PM THIS -- WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO WITH THIS PROJECT IS TO
06:45:59PM SCHOLARSHIPS.
06:46:00PM THIS IS A PROJECT THAT WILL BENEFIT OUR TAMPA COMMUNITY FOR
06:46:04PM MANY, MANY YEARS TO COME TO.
06:46:05PM OUR YMCA LOOKS A LOT DIFFERENT THAN IT DID 135 YEARS AGO
06:46:10PM AND, AGAIN, BECAUSE WE EVOLVED, WHAT THE PROJECT IS ALL
06:46:14PM ABOUT, THE TAMPA HEIGHTS COMMUNITY AND THE TAMPA HEIGHTS OF
06:46:17PM YMCA EVOLVING.
06:46:18PM THIS PROJECT ALLOWS THE YMCA TO ACTIVATE EXTREMELY
06:46:22PM UNDERUTILIZED PROPERTY THAT WE OWN IN TAMPA HEIGHTS.
06:46:25PM VACANT LOTS TOO ADD VIBRANCY TOO THAT HELPS THE YMCA AND OUR
06:46:31PM COMMUNITY AS WELL.
06:46:31PM THE YMCA ISN'T GOING TO OWN ALL THESE BUILDINGS.
06:46:35PM THE YMCA WILL HAVE A GROUND LEASE THAT WILL DRIVE AN ANNUAL
06:46:40PM ANNUITY THAT WE IN TURN, TAKE THAT MONEY, REINVEST IN OTHER
06:46:44PM PARTS OF TAMPA WHERE FAMILIES, KIDS, SENIORS CAN'T AFFORD
06:46:49PM PROGRAMS FOR THE YMCA.
06:46:50PM THIS ALLOWS US TO BUILD A FULL FACILITY IN THE YMCA ON THE
06:46:55PM WEST SIDE OF TAMPA AND NOT RELY ON TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO DO IT
06:46:59PM BECAUSE WE FUND IT THROUGH PROJECTS LIKE THIS.
06:47:01PM THIS IS, YOU KNOW, A PROJECT WHERE THERE IS AN END GAME TO
06:47:05PM SERVE MORE AND MORE TAMPA FAMILIES THAN EVER BEFORE.
06:47:07PM TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, WE HAVE ENGAGED A GROUP OF PARTNERS.
06:47:11PM WE CHOSE THESE PARTNERS VERY SPECIFICALLY.
06:47:14PM WE CHOSE THEM BECAUSE THEY LIVE HERE, THEY GREW UP HERE,
06:47:19PM THEY LOVE TAMPA, AND THEY GENUINELY CARE ABOUT THIS
06:47:23PM COMMUNITY.
06:47:23PM AND THEY UNDERSTAND YOUR EXPECTATIONS.
06:47:26PM SO, ONCE AGAIN, I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR YOUR
06:47:32PM CONSIDERATION OF THIS.
06:47:33PM NOW WE HEARD SOME OPPOSITION TO THIS PROJECT.
06:47:35PM WE WANT TO PRACTICE MODESTY TONIGHT.
06:47:39PM THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF
06:47:42PM INDIVIDUALS WHO LOVE THIS PROJECT.
06:47:45PM EVERY PRESENTATION I MADE TO CIVIC LEADERS, TO STAKEHOLDERS
06:47:49PM IN THIS COMMUNITY THINK THIS IS A PHENOMENAL IDEA.
06:47:52PM SOME FOLKS HERE WHO WILL SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS PROJECT.
06:47:54PM SOME WHO WILL SPEAK AGAINST IT.
06:47:56PM AND THAT IS PART OF THE PROCESS.
06:47:58PM AND WE APPRECIATE THAT.
06:47:59PM WE HAVE BEEN OPENLY COMMUNICATIVE WITH OUR NEIGHBORS.
06:48:02PM WE ADJUSTED OUR PROJECTS BASE -- AS A MATTER OF FACT, WHY IS
06:48:08PM A BETTER YMCA BECAUSE OF NEIGHBORS' FEEDBACK.
06:48:12PM THIS PROJECT IS A BETTER PROJECT BECAUSE WE INCORPORATE OUR
06:48:15PM NEIGHBORS' FEEDBACK.
06:48:16PM THERE IS DISAGREEMENT ON HEIGHT AND PERHAPS SOME DENSITY,
06:48:19PM BUT TRUST ME, THIS IS A PROJECT THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY
06:48:24PM SOLE PURPOSE IS TO HELP FUND MORE AND MORE HEALTHY
06:48:27PM ACTIVITIES TO ENHANCE THE WELL BEING OF OUR TAMPA RESIDENTS
06:48:31PM THROUGHOUT OUR CITY.
06:48:32PM SO WITH THAT, I WILL ASK TYLER TO COME UP AND LEAD US
06:48:38PM THROUGH SOME OF THE DETAILS.
06:48:39PM >> THANKS, MATT.
06:48:40PM TYLER HUDSON, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE FOR THE RECORD.
06:48:43PM SIGN POSTS.
06:48:44PM I WILL SPEAK FOR A BIT.
06:48:46PM SOL FLEISHMAN, ARCHITECT AND CASEY ELLISON WILL SPEAK TOWARD
06:48:51PM THE END.
06:48:52PM WE ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH WHERE THE PROJECT IS.
06:48:54PM WITHOUT THE VARIOUS PURPLES AND REDS, A DIFFICULT ASSEMBLAGE
06:49:00PM OF LAND TO DEVELOP.
06:49:01PM ONE NORMAL BLOCK, AND THE REST OF IT IS A LITTLE BIT --
06:49:05PM WELL, IT IS NOT -- NOT FULL BLOCKS.
06:49:07PM ONE SINGLE BLOCK.
06:49:08PM THIS IS BETWEEN FLORIDA AND TAMPA.
06:49:10PM IF YOU THINK OF FLORIDA AND TAMPA AND THE LAND IN BETWEEN,
06:49:13PM IT IS LIKE 21st AND 22nd IN YBOR.
06:49:16PM A LITTLE NARROW.
06:49:17PM A SPINE THAT GOES UP THROUGH A DISTRICT.
06:49:19PM UP TO PALM AND BEYOND PALM, ALL THE WAY TO COLUMBUS, THERE
06:49:23PM IS NO SINGLE-FAMILY, I BELIEVE, RESIDENTIAL IN THAT SUBPOENA
06:49:28PM OF THE STREETS THAT ARE BETWEEN PALM AND FLORIDA.
06:49:30PM DIFFERENT TO THE RIGHT.
06:49:31PM DIFFERENT TO THE RIGHT OF FLORIDA.
06:49:32PM DOWN SECOND, BUT I THINK THAT BEARS NOTING.
06:49:36PM TAMPA HEIGHTS PLAN NOT LAW.
06:49:39PM NOT IN THE COMP PLAN OR ZONING CODE.
06:49:42PM THE CITY COUNCIL DID SOMETHING TO GIVE IT A THUMBS UP IN
06:49:46PM 2002.
06:49:46PM TAMPA HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN.
06:49:48PM TALKS OF THE AREA AROUND TAMPA AND FRANKLIN AS THE "HUB."
06:49:54PM THE HUB.
06:49:54PM ALL OF THESE CONCENTRIC CIRCLES RIGHT HERE TO THE YMCA
06:49:58PM PROPERTY THIS IT WAS 22 YEARS AGO AND IT LOOKS EXACTLY THE
06:50:02PM SAME -- GENERALLY SPEAKING.
06:50:03PM SOME MINOR CHANGES.
06:50:04PM THIS IS WHERE THE NEIGHBORHOOD THEN EXPECTED THE CENTER OF
06:50:07PM THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO BE.
06:50:10PM AS WE WILL TALK ABOUT, THIS DEVELOPMENT IS WHAT PROVIDES
06:50:13PM THAT.
06:50:13PM THIS IS THAT HUB.
06:50:14PM THIS IS NOT A ONE-OFF APARTMENT BUILDING WHICH YOU HAVE
06:50:17PM APPROVED IN THE AREA.
06:50:18PM THIS IS AN INTEGRATED MIXED-USE SMALL PROJECT.
06:50:22PM TALK OF THE HEIGHTS, WITH 50 ACRES.
06:50:24PM WE HAVE SIX.
06:50:25PM WE HAVE TOO DO MORE WITH THE LESS LAND THAT WE HAVE.
06:50:27PM I AM GOING TO TALK OF WAIVERS AND IF IT IS OKAY, I WILL
06:50:31PM START FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP.
06:50:33PM THE FIRST WAIVER IS WHERE THE NEW YMCA ON THE NORTHEAST
06:50:37PM CORNER OF FLORIDA AND PALM.
06:50:39PM THAT BUILDING IS GOING TO BE NO MORE THAN 60 FEET.
06:50:42PM WHAT THE EXISTING CG ZONING ALLOWS.
06:50:46PM TODAY, FOR A 60-FOOT BUILDING.
06:50:49PM THAT IS WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR BECAUSE WE SHRUNK THE HEIGHT
06:50:52PM SO CONSIDERABLY BY 50% ON THAT, WE DO NEED THREE FEET LESS
06:50:56PM -- 12 FEET OF BUFFER INSTEAD OF 15 FEET OF BUFFER ALONG THE
06:51:02PM EASTERN EDGE OF THAT Y BUILDING.
06:51:05PM SIX FEET OF MASONRY WALL AND 12 FEET OF BUFFER.
06:51:09PM RICK CAN TALK MORE OF THE OFF-CENTER SPACING OF THE TREES
06:51:13PM BUT GOING TO BE VERDANT.
06:51:14PM SECOND WAIVER WE ARE ASKING FOR.
06:51:16PM MANEUVERING IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
06:51:18PM I AM NOT SURE IF I DID NOT ASK FOR THIS WAIVER OF ANY
06:51:21PM PROJECT.
06:51:21PM THIS IS NOT THE SEMI TRUCK TRAINING SECTION AT THE
06:51:25PM FAIRGROUNDS.
06:51:25PM WE CAN NOT MANEUVER WITHOUT TOUCHING RIGHT-OF-WAY.
06:51:28PM THESE ARE NOT GIANT PARKING LOTS.
06:51:31PM HOPEFULLY NOT ANYMORE.
06:51:33PM WHAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT IS THE UNUSUAL WAY TO MINIMIZE THE
06:51:37PM BURDENS OF LOADING FOR SOLID WASTE AND PACKAGES, BUT ASKING
06:51:41PM TO BE ABLE TO MANEUVER IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
06:51:43PM GREEN SPACE.
06:51:44PM YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD WE ARE NOT INCONSISTENT ON GREEN SPACE.
06:51:47PM CONSISTENT ON A NATURAL RESOURCES.
06:51:48PM NOT SOMETHING THAT THIS COUNCIL HEARS OFTEN FOR LARGE-SCALE
06:51:53PM PROJECTS.
06:51:54PM WE WILL TAKE ONE GRAND TREE IF AND WHEN -- SOME TRANSIT
06:51:58PM IMPROVEMENT ALONG PALM.
06:51:59PM UNTIL THEN, THE TREE WILL REMAIN UNTOUCHED.
06:52:02PM FROM A TREE RETENTION STANDPOINT, WE ARE NOT KEEPING 50% OF
06:52:06PM THE TREES.
06:52:06PM NOT TREES THAT ARE WORTH KEEPING.
06:52:08PM RICKY PETERIKA IS HERE TO TALK IN DETAIL AND PUTTING BACK
06:52:13PM MORE GREEN SPACE THAN WE ARE TAKING AWAY.
06:52:15PM PARKING.
06:52:16PM LET'S TALK ABOUT PARKING.
06:52:18PM CAN I USE THE ELMO REAL QUICK.
06:52:20PM ASKING FOR A REDUCTION OF 1044 PARKING SPACES DOWN FROM THE
06:52:26PM REQUIREMENT OF 2044.
06:52:27PM SOMETHING THAT IS A LITTLE DISCOMFORT ON NEITHER SIDE.
06:52:32PM TOO MUCH.
06:52:33PM TOO LITTLE.
06:52:33PM THE WARM BOWL OF PORRIDGE FROM GOLDILOCKS FOR THE BEST OF
06:52:39PM OUR ABILITY.
06:52:39PM LET'S COMPARE THE PARKING SITUATION.
06:52:46PM OKAY, SO YOUR DOWNTOWN.
06:52:50PM I THINK EVERYONE KNOWS THAT DOWNTOWN IS PRETTY CLOSE.
06:52:53PM THIS PROJECT WAS DOWNTOWN AND WOULD HAVE 600 SPACES.
06:52:57PM BY YOUR CODE, CHAPTER 27 CODE, 600 SPACES.
06:53:01PM THAT IS THE REQUIREMENT.
06:53:02PM HOW ABOUT THE CHANNEL DISTRICT?
06:53:04PM 635 SPACES THERE.
06:53:05PM LARGE PROJECT BEARS SOME SIMILARITIES TO THIS ONE, 1286
06:53:11PM PACED ON THE RATIOS.
06:53:12PM MORE PARKING AND A MUCH LARGER PROJECT.
06:53:15PM 158 MORE SPACES THAT THE COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED FOR
06:53:21PM GASWORX BASED ON THE RATIOS.
06:53:24PM HEIGHTS.
06:53:25PM WE TALKED A LOT OF THE HEIGHTS A BLOCK AWAY, PROVIDING 50
06:53:28PM MORE SPACES WITHIN THAT THEIR ZONING REQUIRED WHICH WAS
06:53:31PM APPROVED SIX YEARS AGO.
06:53:33PM WE HAVE A LOT OF STAKEHOLDERS TO PLEASE WHEN IT COMES TO
06:53:37PM PARKING.
06:53:38PM WE HAVE WHAT THE ZONING REQUIRES.
06:53:40PM WE HAVE A DEBT AND EQUITY CAPITAL PARTNERS REQUIRE.
06:53:45PM THAT IS SOMETIMES DIFFERENT.
06:53:46PM TENANTS REQUIRE FOR OFFICE LEASES NOW THAT EVERYONE IS GOING
06:53:50PM BACK TO THE OFFICE.
06:53:51PM WE BELIEVE -- THIS IS SOMETHING STUDIED EXHAUSTIVELY BY THE
06:53:55PM DEVELOPMENT TEAM.
06:53:56PM AND THEY THINK THIS IS THE WARM BOWL OF PORRIDGE.
06:53:59PM THE AMOUNT OF PARKING THAT IS DEFENSIBLE.
06:54:02PM MAKE THE PROJECT FINANCEABLE AND YES, A REDUCTION WHAT IS
06:54:06PM REQUIRED, BUT I THINK IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT A LOT OF THE
06:54:08PM PARKING OFFSETS.
06:54:11PM YOUR ZONING CODE REQUIRES ONE PARKING SPACE FOR EVERY HOTEL
06:54:16PM ROOM, 2024.
06:54:18PM WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING EMPTY LONELY LARGE PARKING
06:54:22PM SPACES ON A SATURDAY AND SUNDAY?
06:54:24PM THESE USES OFFSET WHEN THE WORK -- WHEN FOLKS ARE USING THE
06:54:27PM OFFICE SPACES ARE GONE, THAT IS WHEN THE RESIDENTS COME
06:54:31PM BACK.
06:54:31PM THE RETAIL OFFSETS.
06:54:33PM WE BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFENSIBLE REDUCTION EXCEEDS WHAT YOU
06:54:40PM MUST DO BY RIGHT IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE LAND AND WE
06:54:44PM BELIEVE IT WORKS FOR THE SITE OVERALL.
06:54:46PM THAT IS BEFORE WE GET TO THE TRANSIT.
06:54:47PM AS I TALKED ABOUT BEFORE.
06:54:49PM HART ROUTE 1, 15 HEADWAYS.
06:54:52PM SOMEONE FROM HART IS HERE.
06:54:53PM ENOUGH OF THE HEADWAY FOR THE DENSITY NOW, NOT IN THE FUTURE
06:54:57PM BUT NOW.
06:54:57PM 15-MINUTE HEADWAYS FOR BUS ROUTE FOR FLORIDA AND TAMPA IN
06:55:03PM VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY TO DOWNTOWN FROM A WALKING PERSPECTIVE.
06:55:06PM WE BELIEVE THAT CARS ARE GOING TO HAVE A ADEQUATE HOMES
06:55:10PM HERE.
06:55:10PM IF THAT CHANGES IN THE FUTURE MORE OR LESS AS THE PROJECT
06:55:14PM DEVELOPS, WE CAN COME BACK TO YOU TO TRY TO CHANGE THAT, BUT
06:55:17PM SOMETHING WE THOUGHT ABOUT EXHAUSTIVELY AND HAVE TO WEIGH A
06:55:22PM LOT OF DIFFERENT FACTORS OF WHAT CHAPTER 27 OF THE CODE
06:55:26PM REQUIRES.
06:55:26PM WE WILL LOOK AT THE PROJECT A LITTLE BIT.
06:55:28PM LACHONE DID A GOOD JOB OF DOING THAT.
06:55:31PM BUT I WANTED TO GIVE -- WE MAY NEED A LITTLE MORE TIME.
06:55:35PM I AM SORRY -- SORRY, I WAS GOING -- OKAY.
06:55:39PM PARCEL A AND B.
06:55:41PM START FROM THE TOP AND WORK OUR WAY DOWN.
06:55:43PM YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE INTERSECTION OF FLORIDA AVENUE AND
06:55:46PM PALM.
06:55:46PM THIS IS A MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING WITH GROUND FLOOR
06:55:51PM COMMERCIAL AT THE TOP.
06:55:52PM THAT PASEO, THE BIG FRANKLIN 70-FOOT-WIDE PEDESTRIAN
06:55:58PM EASEMENT EMPTIES OUT HERE IF YOU CROSS PALM TO THE APARTMENT
06:56:01PM BUILDING.
06:56:02PM TO THE RIGHT OF THAT, ACROSS THE STREET IS THE YMCA
06:56:05PM FACILITY, THE DIMENSIONS OF WHICH, I WOULD REPEAT -- THE
06:56:09PM DIMENSIONS OF WHICH ARE THE SAME AS WHAT THE BY-RIGHT ZONING
06:56:14PM IN TERMS OF THE HEIGHT.
06:56:15PM THE BUILDING WILL GO THROUGHOUT ARC DESIGN APPROVAL PROCESS.
06:56:19PM FOLKS WHO ARE WORRY WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, WHAT YOU APPROVE
06:56:23PM TODAY DOES NOT MEAN WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE.
06:56:26PM A PROCESS WITH SIGNIFICANT NEIGHBORHOOD ENGAGEMENT.
06:56:28PM IN TERMS OF ACCESS, THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
06:56:32PM IS NOT KEEN ON CURB CUTS, SO THE BUILDING AS YOU CAN SEE
06:56:36PM LOADS BEHIND IN ROSS.
06:56:37PM THE MULTIFAMILY BUILDING LOADS TO THE NORTHWEST CORNER.
06:56:40PM YMCA FACILITY, THERE IS SOME LOADING RIGHT OFF OF ROSS, BUT
06:56:44PM THE PARKING FOR THAT YMCA FACILITY, AN URBAN YMCA LIKE FT.
06:56:50PM BROOKE.
06:56:50PM PARKS ACROSS THE SKY BRIDGE.
06:56:52PM PARKS IN THE MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING ACROSS FLORIDA
06:56:57PM AVENUE.
06:56:57PM ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONCESSION THAT WE MADE, NO MORE DAY-CARE
06:57:01PM CENTER IN THE YMCA.
06:57:02PM HOW TO MAKE DAY CARE WORK IN THIS SITE AND THAT IS SOMETHING
06:57:06PM THAT NEEDS.
06:57:06PM I NEED IT FOR THE THREE KIDS I HAD IN TAMPA HEIGHTS, BUT
06:57:09PM CONCERN FROM THE NEIGHBORS, AGAIN, TRYING TO BALANCE TRYING
06:57:12PM TO MAKE AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE, CONCERN THERE WOULD BE
06:57:16PM TOO MUCH TRAFFIC ON ROSS.
06:57:17PM SO WE CAN MOVE THAT.
06:57:18PM MOVE THAT SOMEWHERE ELSE ON THE SITE, BUT THERE WILL BE SOME
06:57:22PM FOLKS DRIVING, PERHAPS, THROUGH ROSS, BUT NOWHERE NEAR AS
06:57:26PM MANY IF THERE WAS A DAY-CARE CENTER OR PARKED IT THERE.
06:57:29PM WE ARE PARKING IT ACROSS THE STREET.
06:57:31PM AND THAT IS A DECISION WE MADE TO TRY TO APPEASE -- I SAY
06:57:35PM APPEASE -- NOT REALLY A FAIR WORD, TO BE SENSITIVE WHAT THE
06:57:40PM NEIGHBORS ON ROSS HAVE TOLD US.
06:57:41PM NOW WE ARE ONE BLOCK SOUTH.
06:57:42PM THIS IS THE ONLY, QUOTE, NORMAL BLOCK WE HAVE.
06:57:45PM THIS IS WHERE THAT WEIRD Y SHAPE WAS.
06:57:47PM ON THE WEST SIDE OF THAT PEDESTRIAN AREA, WE ARE PROPOSING
06:57:52PM AN OFFICE BUILDING WITH GROUND FLOOR COMMERCIAL.
06:57:54PM THAT IS THE BUILDING THAT HAD SORT OF THE PRETTY SIGNIFICANT
06:57:58PM SETBACKS.
06:57:58PM THE HEIGHT SETBACKS.
06:57:59PM SIGNIFICANT -- NOTWITHSTANDING WHAT YOU HAVE IN THE PAPERS,
06:58:04PM SIGNIFICANT DEMAND IN THE CITY, WE KNOW BECAUSE THE HEIGHTS
06:58:07PM HAVE BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL.
06:58:09PM TO THE EAST ACROSS, PROPOSING A HOTEL WITH POTENTIALLY DONE
06:58:13PM DOES, THAT IS UNCLEAR.
06:58:14PM BUT THE STANDARD BUILDING REMAINS.
06:58:17PM PROPOSING TO KEEP THE STANDARD OIL BUILDING THAT IS ALREADY
06:58:21PM THERE.
06:58:21PM THAT IS IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.
06:58:24PM IT IS A THREE-STORY BUILDING.
06:58:25PM WE ARE PROPOSING TO KEEP THAT.
06:58:27PM PARCEL D TO THE SOUTH.
06:58:30PM OAK AVENUE -- YOU SEE THE WORD "OAK AVENUE" ON SCREEN, ABOVE
06:58:34PM THAT THREE STORIES.
06:58:36PM STANDARD OIL BUILDING.
06:58:38PM AND WE ARE PROPOSING THAT WILL BE ONLY THREE TO FOUR STORIES
06:58:43PM TO MATCH THE SCALE WHAT IS ACROSS THE STREET AND FRANKLIN
06:58:47PM STREET WITH THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD, HE BELIEVE THAT THE
06:58:48PM YELLOW SCALE DOWN THERE MAKES MORE SENSE BECAUSE IT WILL BE
06:58:52PM COMPATIBLE AS UP WALK UP FRANKLIN STRAIGHT, THE HEIGHT GETS
06:58:55PM GREATER AS YOU COME BACK UP.
06:58:56PM CAN I REQUEST --
06:58:58PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HOW MUCH MORE TIME?
06:59:01PM >> CAN I REQUEST FIVE MINUTES.
06:59:02PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I WILL ALLOW ANYBODY ELSE ON THIS AGENDA
06:59:04PM TODAY EXTRA TIME IF REQUEST IF FOR APPLICANTS.
06:59:08PM FIVE MORE MINUTES --
06:59:10PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: EXCUSE ME -- A SECOND TO THAT MOTION I
06:59:13PM THOUGHT I HEARD.
06:59:13PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: A MOTION AND A SECOND.
06:59:16PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: WHAT DID YOU SAY --
06:59:18PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY OTHER APPLICANT ON THIS AGENDA NEED
06:59:22PM EXTRA TIME, WE WILL TAKE IT UP ONE AT A TIME, TO BE FAIR AND
06:59:25PM EQUITABLE.
06:59:26PM WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
06:59:27PM ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
06:59:28PM ANY OPPOSED?
06:59:29PM VERY GOOD.
06:59:30PM FIVE MORE MINUTES -- FIVE MINUTES, 30 SECONDS.
06:59:32PM >> THANKS.
06:59:34PM SO HERE ARE SOME RENDERINGS.
06:59:36PM WE CAN BRING THEM BACK LATER TO SHOW -- IN THE PICTURE OF
06:59:39PM ONE, YOU ARE LOOKING NORTHWARD LOOKING UP FRANKLIN STREET.
06:59:42PM PICTURE TWO, YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER FROM A
06:59:45PM NORTHEASTERLY -- FROM A NORTHEASTERLY PERSPECTIVE OF THE OF
06:59:49PM THE PROPOSED NEW YMCA BUILDING.
06:59:51PM YOU CAN IGNORE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE BECAUSE IT WILL GO
06:59:54PM THROUGH THE ENTIRE DESIGN PROCESS AND THE SKYWALK THAT IS
06:59:58PM PROPOSED TO SERVE THAT BUILDING.
07:00:00PM PICTURE THREE IS THE RETAIL BUILDING.
07:00:01PM LOWER SCALE RETAIL BUILDING THAT WILL FRONT OPPOSITE THE
07:00:05PM STANDARD OIL BUILDING, ALSO IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT AND
07:00:09PM WILL GO THROUGH AN ENTIRE DESIGN REVIEW.
07:00:11PM FROM THE SCALE PERSPECTIVE THERE ARE A ACCURATE.
07:00:13PM PICTURE THREE HAS TO GO THROUGH AN EN THEIR SES.
07:00:17PM WE TALKED ABOUT TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT.
07:00:21PM WE TALKED ABOUT THAT ENOUGH.
07:00:23PM WHEN YOU HEAR OF TRANSIT-ORIENTED, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS, LARGE
07:00:29PM BUILDINGS IN DENSITIES THAT CAN BE SUPPORTED.
07:00:31PM AS BEST AS WE TRIED, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO ACCOMMODATE EVERY
07:00:36PM SINGLE DESIRE.
07:00:36PM AS WE SCALE BUILDINGS DOWN, PEOPLE GET UPSET WITH THAT.
07:00:40PM SCALE THEM UP, PEOPLE GET UPSET WITH THAT.
07:00:43PM WITH THIS PROJECT, BALANCE WE CAN PROVIDE.
07:00:45PM NEXT, AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
07:00:47PM 10% OF THE UNITS IF BUILT UP TO THE MAXIMUM 48 UNITS, HALF
07:00:52PM 20% AMI AND HALF AT 100% AMI.
07:00:56PM WITH THAT, SOL WILL SPEAK.
07:00:59PM >> THANK YOU, TYLER.
07:01:00PM SOL J. FLEISHMAN JR., SENIOR FOUNDER OF FLEISHMAN
07:01:12PM ARCHITECTURE.
07:01:13PM I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.
07:01:14PM BUILT IN 1927, THIS MEDITERRANEAN REVIVAL -- THE
07:01:18PM MEDITERRANEAN REVIVAL STYLE, THE STANDARD OIL COMPANY
07:01:22PM BUILDING CONTAINED NOT ONLY THEIR ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES,
07:01:26PM BUT ALSO A GAS STATION OR AS CHARLIE AND I USED TO CALL IT
07:01:30PM FILLING STATION ON FLORIDA AVENUE.
07:01:33PM IN THE 1940s IT BECAME HOME TO THE FLORIDA CITRUS EXCHANGE,
07:01:39PM WHICH MORPHED INTO THE SEAL STREET GROWERS BUILDING AS WE
07:01:44PM KNEW IT.
07:01:44PM IN 1991, IT WAS MULTIFAMILY BY THE YMCA AS THEIR
07:01:51PM ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES AND NOW KNOWN AS WALTER S. PIERCE
07:01:56PM ADMINISTRATION BUILDING.
07:01:58PM AS AN IMPORTANT HISTORIC BUILDING OF THE TAMPA HEIGHTS
07:02:01PM COMMUNITY, WE ARE COMMITTED TO PRESERVING IT AND FINDING
07:02:05PM APPROPRIATE ADAPTIVE REUSE OPPORTUNITIES SUCH AS OUR HOTEL
07:02:12PM LOBBY AND RESTAURANT.
07:02:13PM AS -- AS A HISTORIC PRESERVATIONIST, PRESERVING THE STANDARD
07:02:20PM OIL BUILDING, IT MEANS -- IS A GREAT BIG DEAL.
07:02:23PM IT MEANS GREATER DENSITY ON THE OUTER PARCELS OF OUR
07:02:30PM PROPERTY, AND BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE OF THE YMCA'S MISSION.
07:02:33PM OUR PROJECT HAS WRITTEN DESIGN TO ENHANCE THE EXPERIENCE OF
07:02:45PM PEOPLE AT THE GROUND LEVEL.
07:02:46PM WE HAD MAXIMIZED GREEN SPACE.
07:02:51PM WE PROVIDED ADDITIONAL SHADE TREES.
07:02:53PM 18-FOOT-FOOT-WIDE SIDEWALKS, AND FEATURE A
07:02:58PM PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY PASEO DOWN THE MIDDLE OF OUR
07:03:01PM DEVELOPMENT.
07:03:02PM TRULY A FOCUS OF PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE.
07:03:04PM NOW I WILL TURN IT OVER TO CASEY.
07:03:07PM >> CASEY ELLISON, 1717 EAST 9th AVENUE.
07:03:16PM AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
07:03:17PM I AM GOING TO SKIP A LOT OF THE INTROS AND GO KIND OF -- I
07:03:21PM THINK REALLY TALK ABOUT COMMUNITY OUTREACH FROM THE AMOUNT
07:03:25PM THAT CAME INTO PLAY WITH THIS PROJECT.
07:03:26PM WE -- WE DID AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH.
07:03:32PM THESE ARE JUST A FEW.
07:03:33PM WE HAD A -- WE HAD A WONDERFUL SMALL BUSINESS OPEN HOUSE,
07:03:38PM WHICH WAS THE -- THE SUPPORT WAS INCREDIBLE AND WE HAD AN
07:03:42PM OPEN HOUSE WITH THE GENERAL PUBLIC ON 2/27/24.
07:03:47PM OVER 100 PEOPLE ATTENDED.
07:03:49PM PROBABLY ONE THE BETTER COMMUNITY MEMBERS ATTENDED FOR A
07:03:52PM ZONING THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN.
07:03:54PM IT WAS JUST WONDERFUL.
07:03:56PM THE SUPPORT -- WE LEFT THAT MEETING THAT NIGHT THINKING WE
07:03:59PM HAD NOTHING BUT SUPPORT.
07:04:00PM SO I THINK A FEW DON'T ALWAYS SPEAK FOR THE WHOLE
07:04:03PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:04:04PM OUT OF THESE MEETINGS, THE INPUT CREATED -- CREATED THE
07:04:07PM FOLLOWING CHANGES.
07:04:08PM ONE, WE ADDED A MINORITY -- SMALL BUSINESS MINORITY
07:04:13PM INCUBATOR RETAIL PROGRAM AND RESERVE A CERTAIN PORTION.
07:04:17PM OF THE RETAIL FOR QUALIFIED SMALL BUSINESS TO HOPEFULLY
07:04:23PM FLOURISH AND GET INTO LARGER SPACES.
07:04:25PM WE DECREASED THE HEIGHT OF THE YMCA BUILDING BY 35 FEET.
07:04:29PM INCLUDED THE 18-FOOT SIDEWALKS WE SAW.
07:04:32PM AND I THINK ON THE STEP UP, CONVERSATION, WE DECREASED THE
07:04:37PM HEIGHT, FIRST 350 FEET OF THAT NORTH OF PALM.
07:04:43PM WE HELD IT ALL THE WAY TO 150 FEET.
07:04:46PM SO WE FEEL LIKE WE REALLY LISTENED.
07:04:48PM WE FEEL LIKE THIS IS AN AMAZING PROJECT.
07:04:51PM YOU GUYS WILL BE PROUD OF THIS PROJECT WHEN IT IS DONE.
07:04:53PM I AM A MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY, AND I THINK THAT WE ARE
07:04:56PM EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOME RIBBON CUTTING WITH
07:05:02PM YOU GUYS.
07:05:03PM THANK YOU.
07:05:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:05:05PM FIRST I WILL SAY -- AS I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST, THE
07:05:08PM COMPLIMENTS TO IT THE ARCHITECT.
07:05:09PM BEAUTIFUL PROJECT.
07:05:10PM AND I APPRECIATE PRESERVING THAT STANDARD OIL BUILDING AND
07:05:15PM NOT DEMOLISHING IT AS TAMPA ENJOYS DOING; HOWEVER, THERE ARE
07:05:20PM CONCERNS AND WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT.
07:05:23PM AND OTHER ISSUE TO ADDRESS.
07:05:25PM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
07:05:27PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: THIS IS THE TIME TO REQUEST QUESTIONS?
07:05:30PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YES, I AM ASKING QUESTIONS.
07:05:32PM I HAVE A QUESTION.
07:05:32PM I AM NOT QUITE SURE.
07:05:34PM MAYBE MR. HUDSON -- BECAUSE MR. ELLISON TALKED OF STEP-DOWN.
07:05:38PM CAN YOU -- WE KIND OF WENT THROUGH THIS SORT OF FAST.
07:05:41PM CAN YOU JUST SHOW -- I AM CONFUSED WHERE THE STEP DOWNS ARE.
07:05:46PM >> SO -- HANG ON -- TYLER HUDSON FOR THE RECORD.
07:05:52PM THESE PDs HAVE THE DATA TABLE AND THE SITE PLAN.
07:05:56PM THE NUMBERS ON THE SITE DATA TABLE REALLY INFORMS THE VOLUME
07:06:01PM THAT YOU CAN CREATE.
07:06:01PM 3D BASED ON THE SETBACK AND THE HEIGHT.
07:06:04PM THAT IS THE VOLUME.
07:06:05PM AND THE ELEVATIONS ARE WHAT IT CAN -- I WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW
07:06:08PM WE ARE -- WHAT WE ARE COMMITTING TO ON HEIGHT.
07:06:12PM ONE CORRECTION THAT I THINK LACHONE MAYBE GOT AHEAD OF HER
07:06:16PM IS THE REVISED REVISION SHEET THAT HAD IN FRONT OF YOU
07:06:20PM MENTIONS A MAX HEIGHT OF 275 -- WHAT IS ON THE SITE PLAN, IS
07:06:27PM 325 FEET.
07:06:28PM 275 IS THE MAX MIGHT.
07:06:30PM BUT WE ARE PROPOSING THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 60 FEET FOR THAT
07:06:35PM NEW YMCA BUILDING THAT I THINK WE ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH, THE
07:06:38PM NORTHEAST CORNER OF FLORIDA AND PALM.
07:06:40PM THE ADDITIONAL HEIGHT REDUCTION WE ARE SPEAKING OF IS HERE.
07:06:45PM THIS IS THE -- SORRY.
07:06:49PM -- SEE THAT.
07:06:54PM THIS IS THE BUILDING THAT IS AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF
07:07:05PM FLORIDA AND PALM.
07:07:07PM SO THIS IS THE APARTMENT BUILDING AS YOU ARE WALKING UP
07:07:11PM FRANK-STREET.
07:07:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THIS IS THE OLD Y?
07:07:15PM >> CORRECT.
07:07:16PM THE CURRENT Y.
07:07:19PM THIS IS THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDING WE ARE PROPOSING FOR THAT
07:07:22PM ELEVATIONS ARE INTO THE ARE NOT ARCHITECTURALLY BINDING.
07:07:26PM THIS DOES SHOW -- THIS HAS BEEN IN THE PROJECT FROM THE
07:07:29PM BEGINNING, THE SCALING.
07:07:30PM NOT NEWS A MONOLITHIC WALL.
07:07:33PM WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO MAKE A BINDING CONDITION IS THAT
07:07:41PM THE EASTERN 150 OF THE BUILDING.
07:07:50PM I WAS A PHILOSOPHY MAJOR.
07:07:53PM NOT GOOD AT ART.
07:07:55PM THE EASTERN 150 FEET OF BUILDING, THE VERTICAL HEIGHT WILL
07:07:59PM NOT EXCEED 150 FEET.
07:08:01PM >>LYNN HURTAK: SO WHILE THE REST OF THE BUILDING WILL BE --
07:08:03PM CAN GO UP TO 274.5, THIS -- THE EASTERN SECTION WILL BE
07:08:09PM STEPPED DOWN TO NO MORE THAN 150 FEET.
07:08:12PM >> CORRECT.
07:08:13PM IT WILL NOT EXCEED 150 FEET.
07:08:16PM HOW THAT TRANSITIONS IS A LITTLE PREMATURE.
07:08:20PM WE ARE NORTHWEST SURE HOW THAT LOOKS, THE REASON FOR THAT,
07:08:23PM IF YOU WERE GOING UP FLORIDA AVENUE, YOU JUST PASS PALM.
07:08:26PM TO THE RIGHT, YOU WILL SEE A BUILDING AT 60 FEET.
07:08:29PM PULL PERMITS FOR THAT TODAY.
07:08:31PM TO THE LEFT, THE BUILDING, AS YOU ARE GOING TO EXPERIENCE
07:08:35PM IT, WILL NOT EXCEED 15 FEET.
07:08:38PM AND I WOULD NOTE ON HEIGHT -- THE HEIGHTS -- THE
07:08:47PM SIX-YEAR-OLD APPROVAL HAS ENTITLEMENT FOR 40 FEET.
07:08:51PM THIS BUILDING, PALM BAPTIST TOWERS.
07:08:54PM THAT IS 16 STORIES.
07:08:55PM IT HAS BEEN THERE SINCE 1974.
07:08:57PM IF YOU TRY TO PULL A DEMOLITION PERMIT FOR IT, HISTORIC
07:09:01PM PRESERVATION WOULD HAVE TO REVIEW IT TO SEE IF THEY WANT TO
07:09:04PM KEEP IT AS A LANDMARK.
07:09:06PM FOR 50 YEARS, THERE HAS BEEN A 16-STORY BUILDING SOUTHEAST
07:09:12PM OF PALM AND FLORIDA.
07:09:13PM AND THE HEIGHTS -- THE HEIGHTS ISN'T FULL OF 240-FOOT
07:09:18PM STRUCTURES, BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE CLEAR, THAT WHAT WE ARE
07:09:23PM PROPOSE SOMETHING NOT WIDELY OUT OF PRECEDENT FROM A
07:09:26PM REGULATORY PERSPECTIVE.
07:09:28PM WHAT IS BUILT OUT OF THE GROUND IS DIFFERENT.
07:09:31PM WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE.
07:09:32PM YOU DRIVE BY IT -- AND YOU SOMETIMES FORGET IT IS THERE, BUT
07:09:36PM FOLKS LIVING IN A 16-STORY BUILDING RIGHT THERE.
07:09:40PM THAT OUR PROJECT IN THE HEIGHTS.
07:09:42PM WE ARE ACROSS THE STREETS FROM THE HEIGHTS.
07:09:44PM 240.
07:09:47PM >>LYNN HURTAK: SECOND QUESTION.
07:09:52PM LEAVE THAT ON THERE BECAUSE YOU TALKED ABOUT THE OTHER
07:09:55PM PROJECT THAT IS BEING BUILT RIGHT NOW AT 7th.
07:10:00PM HOW TALL IS THAT?
07:10:03PM >> THAT I THINK ABOUT EIGHT OR NINE -- EIGHT STORIES I WANT
07:10:07PM TO SAY?
07:10:08PM EIGHT STORIES.
07:10:08PM THE GENERAL TEAM WORKED ON THAT AS WELL.
07:10:13PM BUT THE REASON WHY -- THE THOUGHT PROCESS THERE IS YOU ARE
07:10:16PM EAST.
07:10:16PM IT IS LIKE THESE -- THESE BOUNDARIES MATTER -- THEY ARE POROUS.
07:10:27PM YOU DEVELOPMENT WANT TOO BE TOO STRICT AND WIDELY DIFFERENT
07:10:30PM ON BOTH SIDES.
07:10:31PM THAT IS FULLY IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT, THAT BUILDING.
07:10:35PM THERE WAS CONCERN OF THAT.
07:10:37PM BECAUSE THAT WAS THE EAST SIDE.
07:10:38PM WE BELIEVE THAT THIS LAND BETWEEN TAMPA AND FLORIDA IS VERY,
07:10:42PM VERY UNIQUE.
07:10:43PM AND APPROPRIATE FOR HEIGHT.
07:10:46PM >>LYNN HURTAK: MY QUESTION IS, ACROSS THE STREET FROM THAT
07:10:50PM IS WHAT YOU ARE PROPOSING ONLY THREE STORIES.
07:10:53PM AND THAT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME.
07:10:56PM >>THE REASON FOR THAT AND I WILL ASK SOL TO ELABORATE ON
07:11:00PM THAT.
07:11:00PM THAT BUILDING WILL BE JUST OPPOSITE OF THE STANDARD OIL
07:11:04PM BUILDING.
07:11:05PM THE HISTORIC BUILDING.
07:11:06PM THE SMALLER SCALE BUILDING IS OPPOSITE THAT.
07:11:18PM THE PD ALLOWS -- WE HAVEN'T CHOSEN TO PUT ARTIFICIAL
07:11:23PM RESTRICTION ON THAT RETAIL BUILDING, BUT THE THOUGHT IS,
07:11:26PM BECAUSE THAT IS OPPOSITE THAT STRUCTURE, THAT YOU GET A
07:11:30PM LOWER SCALE.
07:11:31PM I WILL ASK SOL AS THE ARCHITECT, IF HE CAN TO A BETTER JOB
07:11:36PM ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS.
07:11:37PM >>LYNN HURTAK: WITH THE SCALE, IT WOULD SEEM ODD YOU WILL
07:11:40PM WANT FOUR OR FIVE STORIES TO KIND OF BALANCE OUT.
07:11:43PM BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE WITH ALL THE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS
07:11:45PM COMING, THAT FIVE-STORY OFFICE BUILDING IS GOING THAT IS ON
07:11:50PM THE CORNER ALREADY WILL BE DWARFED.
07:11:53PM >> THE FLOORS AND THE HEIGHT CAN BE A LITTLE BIT MISLEADING.
07:11:57PM THE INTENTION OF THAT BUILDING MIGHT BE THREE FLOORS.
07:11:59PM IT WILL HAVE VERY SIGNIFICANT FLOOR-TO-CEILING HEIGHT.
07:12:04PM IT WILL PROBABLY LOOK AND FEEL MORE LIKE A FIVE-STORY
07:12:07PM BUILDING, BUT SINCE SO MUCH EFFORT HAS GONE INTO THE SECOND,
07:12:11PM THIRD, FOURTH ORDER EFFECT OF KEEPING THE STANDARD OIL
07:12:15PM BUILDING.
07:12:15PM THAT IS PART OF THAT, KEEPING THE STANDARD OIL BUILDING HAS
07:12:19PM RADIATING EFFECT.
07:12:20PM WE DON'T WANT TO KEEP IT, ENHANCE IT.
07:12:22PM BUT THEN WORK WITH THE BUILDING RIGHT IN FRONT.
07:12:24PM PUT THE DENSITY BEHIND IT THOSE WHO WALK UP FRANKLIN STREET,
07:12:29PM YOU WALK UP THE YELLOW BRICK ROW, IT KIND OF POPS.
07:12:33PM THESE ARE HARD DECISIONS.
07:12:34PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
07:12:35PM I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION IF THERE IS A VISUAL OF THE ENTIRE
07:12:41PM SITE PLAN AGAIN.
07:12:41PM IF YOU JUST HAVE ONE.
07:12:43PM THAT IS KIND OF --
07:12:46PM >> YEAH, LET'S SEE.
07:12:48PM ANY PARTICULAR BLOCK?
07:12:54PM >>LYNN HURTAK: JUST THE SITE PLAN.
07:12:55PM THE WHOLE SITE PLAN OVERALL.
07:12:58PM I MEAN, I DON'T HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SEE A LOT.
07:13:03PM >> DOESN'T FIT ON A SINGLE SHEET.
07:13:07PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT'S FINE.
07:13:08PM PUT ON THE SCREEN -- I THINK ONE OR BEFORE THE STUFF NORTH
07:13:11PM OF PALM.
07:13:11PM >> NORTH OF PALM.
07:13:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK: OH, YOU JUST HAD IT.
07:13:15PM RIGHT THERE.
07:13:16PM THAT WAS FINE.
07:13:17PM NO, ONE MORE.
07:13:18PM OKAY.
07:13:20PM NEVER MIND.
07:13:21PM >> I THINK I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ASKING FOR, THIS RIGHT HERE.
07:13:23PM PARCEL A AND B.
07:13:25PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YES.
07:13:26PM THIS IS PARCEL A AND B.
07:13:29PM HOW MANY STORIES -- HOW MUCH.
07:13:31PM THE PARKING ON THIS SECTION WILL ONLY BE IN THE MULTIFAMILY
07:13:35PM RESIDENTIAL IS SEVEN STORIES OF PARKING.
07:13:37PM >> IS THAT CORRECT, PARK SOMETHING IN SOL?
07:13:40PM YES.
07:13:40PM >>LYNN HURTAK: GO TO THE NEXT -- THE OTHER PARCELS.
07:13:45PM OKAY, SO HERE, I UNDERSTOOD THERE WAS PARKING IN THE OFFICE,
07:13:49PM THE BUILDING LABELED "OFFICE."
07:13:52PM THAT IS SIX FLOORS OF PARKING?
07:13:55PM >> YES.
07:13:55PM >>LYNN HURTAK: ANY PARKING IN THE HOTEL/RESIDENTIAL?
07:14:00PM >> THERE IS NOT ANY PARKING IN THE HOTEL/RESIDENTIAL.
07:14:02PM AND A BIG PORTION OF THAT IS THE INTERACTION WITH THE
07:14:07PM STANDARD OIL BUILDING.
07:14:07PM WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE -- THERE IS ACTUALLY A GALLERY THAT
07:14:13PM CONNECTS WITH THE BACK SIDE.
07:14:14PM AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE IF YOU GO IN THE FIRST FLOOR OF
07:14:18PM THE HOTEL.
07:14:18PM THERE IS A REASON THE FACT THERE IS NO PARKING IN THAT.
07:14:21PM PARKING AND HOTEL UNITS -- THEY DON'T NEED PARKING IN THEIR
07:14:26PM BUILDINGS.
07:14:26PM >>LYNN HURTAK: MY QUESTION IS, THE PARKING FOR THAT WILL BE
07:14:30PM ACROSS WHERE THE OFFICE IS.
07:14:31PM >> IT WILL BE WHERE THE OFFICE IS.
07:14:33PM >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY.
07:14:33PM AND THEN THE OTHER PARCEL THAT IS LEFT, D OR E OR WHATEVER.
07:14:39PM SOUTH OF THAT.
07:14:40PM IT WILL INCLUDE NO PARKING.
07:14:42PM WILL THAT PARKING BE PART OF THAT OFFICE AS WELL?
07:14:46PM WHERE WILL PEOPLE PARK FOR THAT?
07:14:49PM >> THEY WILL PARK -- YEAH, THEY WILL PARK -- THEY WILL PARK
07:14:52PM ALSO IN THE OFFICE.
07:14:53PM BECAUSE THE WAY THAT -- THE WAY THAT, AGAIN, WE TALKED OF
07:14:57PM THE USES OF PROPERTY THAT CHANGES DIFFERENT TIMES OF DAY AND
07:15:00PM DIFFERENT USES.
07:15:01PM THAT IS WHAT WE THINK IS A COMPATIBILITY PARKING USE.
07:15:04PM >> I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY FOR EVERYONE THAT HAD QUESTIONS
07:15:07PM OF PARKING.
07:15:09PM THANK YOU.
07:15:09PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
07:15:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SOMEWHERE EARLY IN THE PRESENTATION, IT
07:15:14PM SAID ON THE SKY BRIDGE, IT SAID "FUTURE."
07:15:18PM A CONDITION ON THE SITE PLAN IF THE YMCA IS CONSTRUCTED ON
07:15:22PM THE EAST SIDE THAT THEY WOULD REQUIRE THEM TO BUILD THAT SKY
07:15:25PM BRIDGE SO WE DON'T HAVE PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC CROSS FLORIDA?
07:15:29PM >> THAT WAS THE INTENT.
07:15:30PM THESE ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE TO BUILD, BUT, RIGHT, TO GET
07:15:33PM PEDESTRIANS OUT OF -- HIGH TRAFFIC CORRIDORS.
07:15:36PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COMPELLED TO BUILD THE YMCA --
07:15:39PM >>YOU CAN'T PULL PERMITS.
07:15:40PM I DON'T SEE HOW YOU COULD PULL PERMITS WITHOUT THAT BRIDGE
07:15:46PM BEING THERE --
07:15:47PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I ASKED STAFF THAT.
07:15:48PM >> SORRY.
07:15:50PM >LACHONE DOCK: YES, COUNCIL.
07:15:53PM LaCHONE DOCK, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
07:15:55PM ON THE SITE PLAN, IT NOTES THE FUTURE SKY BRIDGE BECAUSE
07:15:58PM CANNOT BE APPROVED THROUGH THE REZONING PROCESS.
07:16:01PM FUTURE PROCESS THAT THE APPLICANT MUST APPLY FOR AND RECEIVE
07:16:06PM APPROVAL.
07:16:06PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: VERY GOOD, THANK YOU.
07:16:09PM MY NEXT QUESTION IS, AGAIN, ONE OF MY -- ONE OF MY PET PIECE
07:16:15PM OF FUTURE PROJECTS IS EXTENDING THE STREET CAR BEYOND PALM,
07:16:19PM HOPEFULLY, FINGERS CROSSED, FUNDING PERMITTED.
07:16:22PM WOULD THIS PROJECT ACCOMMODATE DISH SEE WE HAVE JUSTIN FROM
07:16:27PM HART -- HERE TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT.
07:16:29PM JUSTIN, ARE YOU WILLING TO COME UP HERE TONIGHT?
07:16:39PM >> JUSTIN WILLITS, TRANSIT AUTHORITY FOR THE RECORD.
07:16:44PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS
07:16:46PM PROJECT OR NOT -- AND YOU ARE MORE FAMILIAR WITH -- WHERE WE
07:16:49PM ARE GOING TO POTENTIALLY DO STREET CAR STOPS ALONG FLORIDA
07:16:53PM AND TAMPA STREET.
07:16:54PM HOW DOES THIS FIT INTO YOUR FUTURE VISION OF WHAT THAT LOOKS
07:16:58PM LIKE?
07:16:59PM IF WE DIDN'T TURN ON TO PALM AND WE CONTINUED NORTH TO
07:17:03PM AMELIA OR COLUMBUS?
07:17:05PM >> SURE, SO THE -- WHERE THE DESIGN WORK CURRENTLY STANDS
07:17:09PM FOR STREETCAR, THE STATION WAS GOING TO BE CLOSER TO 7th
07:17:13PM AVENUE.
07:17:13PM THAT WAS THE TAME FOR THE BRT PROJECT.
07:17:16PM THE DESIGN WORK THAT MY TEAM HAS DONE FOR THE BRT PROJECT
07:17:20PM HAS CONTEMPLATED IN PROJECT A LITTLE BIT MORE AND WE WANTED
07:17:24PM TO SHIFT THAT NORTH TO PALM, ACTUALLY ON THE FAR SIDE WHERE
07:17:27PM THEY ARE PROMISING THE NEW YMCA.
07:17:29PM THAT IS PARTIALLY WHY I'M HERE.
07:17:31PM I HAVE DONE SOME COORDINATION WITH THE TEAM AND OFFERED TO
07:17:34PM COME SPEAK.
07:17:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU ARE COMFORTABLE ENOUGH THAT THE
07:17:40PM PROJECT WILL ACCOMMODATE THE BRT AND POTENTIAL STREETCAR
07:17:44PM STOP.
07:17:44PM THERE IS ENOUGH ROOM AND FLEXIBILITY HERE?
07:17:47PM >> YEAH, I THINK THAT -- OBVIOUSLY THE THREE-LANE ONE-WAY
07:17:52PM PIERS ARE OVERBUILT FOR PROBABLY 60 YEARS AT THIS POINT.
07:17:56PM SO THERE IS NO -- NO PROBLEM WITH TRAFFIC IN THAT
07:18:01PM PERSPECTIVE.
07:18:01PM BUT I DO WANT TO SAY TO THE SPEAKER'S POINT, THE EXISTING
07:18:06PM ROUTE 1 IS EVERY 15 MINUTES AND EXISTS ALL THE WAY TO THE
07:18:11PM EXIST STREETCAR.
07:18:13PM ROUTE 5 ON PALM OVER 30 MINUTES CURRENTLY.
07:18:16PM THIS IS WEEKDAY THAT WE TALK OF THE FREQUENCY.
07:18:18PM BUT ADDITIONAL ROUTE 6 FROM FLORIBRASKA TO THE MARION
07:18:25PM TRANSIT CENTER.
07:18:26PM SERVICES FOUR BUSES AN HOUR, YOU HAVE GOT MORE THAN TEN
07:18:30PM BUSES AN HOUR -- NINE OR TEN BUSES AN HOUR RIGHT NOW WITH
07:18:34PM OUR EXISTING SERVICE.
07:18:36PM SO THAT -- THAT IS PART OF WHY I'M HERE TO SAY THAT THE
07:18:39PM EXISTING TRANSIT SERVICE SUPPORTS THIS DENSITY AND THE
07:18:42PM FUTURE SERVICE ACTUALLY DOES.
07:18:44PM SO I AGREE WITH THE PRESENTER.
07:18:46PM I JUST WANT TO NOTE, THERE ARE TWO ADDITIONAL PRETTY GREAT
07:18:50PM ROUTES IN AN OTHERWISE BARE-BONES BUS SYSTEM WE ALL KIND OF
07:18:55PM ACKNOWLEDGE.
07:18:56PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS IS GROUND ZERO.
07:18:57PM >> YEAH.
07:18:58PM THE T.O.D. STUDY WE DID SEVERAL YEARS AGO DID A LOT OF
07:19:03PM PREPLANNING WORK IN THIS AREA THAT IS PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH
07:19:06PM THIS.
07:19:06PM I DON'T THINK IT WENT QUITE AS HIGH AS WHAT YOU ARE
07:19:09PM CONTEMPLATING TODAY, BUT DEFINITELY -- ONE OF THE FEW PLACES
07:19:12PM WE HAVE EXISTING TRANSIT RESOURCES AND WE ALL COME TO AN
07:19:16PM AGREEMENT WITH QUESTION WANT TO ADD MORE IN THE FUTURE.
07:19:19PM THAT IS WHAT I'M HERE TO SAY, IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY
07:19:22PM QUESTIONS, I WILL RUN OUT OF HERE AFTER THIS.
07:19:25PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I SAW YOU BACK THERE.
07:19:27PM FELT THERE WAS ENOUGH THERE.
07:19:28PM YOU KNOW HOW PASSIONATE I AM ABOUT THIS.
07:19:31PM BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T TALKED THIS SPECIFICALLY OF THIS PROJECT
07:19:34PM BECAUSE UNTIL TODAY IT HAVEN'T COME BEFORE US.
07:19:36PM SOAP WANTED TO MAKE SURE -- I FELT LIKE I WAS COMFORTABLE
07:19:39PM WITH IT BUT YOU ARE A SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT.
07:19:42PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.
07:19:45PM >> I DID.
07:19:45PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:19:48PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ONE MORE QUESTION.
07:19:50PM DID YOU SAY THE ARCHITECT IS HERE?
07:19:52PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HE IS RIGHT THERE.
07:19:53PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU ARE THE ARCHITECT?
07:19:55PM I MISSED THAT.
07:19:55PM AND I AM PLAYING OUTSIDE OF MY SANDBOX ON THIS, BUT I WANT
07:20:00PM TO SAY ONE OF MY OBSERVATIONS ABOUT CONSTRUCTION AND
07:20:05PM ARCHITECTURE IN THE CITY OF TAMPA, ONE THING WE HAVEN'T
07:20:08PM EVOLVED TO THAT NEXT GREAT CITY IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF
07:20:11PM ARCHITECTURE IN THE CITY AND MARQUEE KIND OF ARCHITECTURE.
07:20:15PM DO YOU HAVE ANY PLANS.
07:20:16PM I KNOW THIS IS PRIMA COMMUTER AND YOU ARE GOING THROUGH AN
07:20:19PM ENTIRE PROCESS.
07:20:20PM BUT GOING THROUGH CONSTRUCTION TO MAKE THIS MORE OF A
07:20:23PM MARQUEE BUILDING AND SOMETHING MORE SIGNIFICANT FOR THE
07:20:26PM PRESENCE AND LOCATION OF THIS BUILDING AND A HIGH PROFILE OF
07:20:29PM THIS BUILDING, SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE PLANNING TO DO TO MAKE
07:20:31PM THIS MORE OF A MARQUEE BUILDING TO PUT US INTO A DIFFERENT
07:20:34PM CLASS OF A CITY?
07:20:36PM >> ABSOLUTELY.
07:20:36PM LOOK AT YOUR HANNA AVENUE CITY CENTER.
07:20:44PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: BEAUTIFUL BUILDING.
07:20:45PM >> THANK YOU.
07:20:47PM THAT IS ONE OF OUR BUILDINGS.
07:20:48PM AND WE THINK IT IS A MARQUEE BUILDING.
07:20:51PM THINK IT IS A MARQUEE BUILDING.
07:20:54PM AND THAT WILL BE A MARQUEE BUILDING.
07:20:55PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: UP KNOW I AM PLAYING OUTSIDE MY SANDBOX
07:20:58PM AND ANY DEVELOPER AND ARCHITECT LISTENING, WHAT WE ARE
07:21:02PM WILLFULLY MISSING AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT REDEVELOPED
07:21:06PM BEFORE I LEAVE CITY COUNCIL.
07:21:08PM >> MR. CLENDENIN, THANK YOU FOR THAT ATTITUDE.
07:21:11PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU.
07:21:12PM >> WE APPRECIATE IT.
07:21:14PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
07:21:16PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE ARCHITECT AS
07:21:18PM WELL.
07:21:18PM CONSIDERING IT SITS IN THE TAMPA HEIGHTS COMMUNITY.
07:21:20PM I CAN'T TELL ACCORDING TO THE DESIGN.
07:21:22PM CAN YOU GO BACK TO THAT PAGE WHERE IT HAS A FULL PICTURE OF
07:21:26PM THE -- OF THE PROJECT.
07:21:27PM BECAUSE I KNOW THAT -- I KNOW THAT THE ADMINISTRATION
07:21:31PM BUILDING IS BEING SAVED AND POSSIBLY TURNING INTO AN EVENT
07:21:34PM SPACE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, RIGHT.
07:21:35PM WHAT -- WHAT PARTS OF THIS CHARACTER FITS INTO THE
07:21:40PM COMMUNITY?
07:21:43PM IS THAT LIKE RED BRICK?
07:21:45PM BECAUSE IT LOOKS EXTREMELY MODERN BUT YET MAYBE IT HAS SOME
07:21:48PM HISTORICAL ELEMENTS TO IT.
07:21:50PM CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT FOR ME?
07:21:51PM >> WHY HE, CONCEPTUALLY, WE WILL BRING BRICK INTO THE
07:21:55PM PROJECT.
07:21:55PM IT IS GOING TO BE A COMBINATION OF MATERIALS LIKE THE
07:21:58PM DISTRICT IS.
07:21:58PM I WAS BORN IN THE TAMPA HEIGHTS HOSPITAL, BY THE WAY.
07:22:04PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: REALLY.
07:22:06PM >> IT IS INTERESTING ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I RESEARCHED IT.
07:22:09PM I FOUND SOME OLD PHOTOGRAPHS.
07:22:11PM THAT WAS ORIGINALLY A BRICK BUILDING WITH CAST STONE DETAIL.
07:22:14PM BUT THEY DID -- I THINK THEY DID TWO BIG ADDITIONS TO THE
07:22:18PM NORTH.
07:22:18PM AND THOSE WERE KIND OF MID-CENTURY MODERN BUILDINGS WITH
07:22:23PM STUCCO AND BIG GLASS WINDOWS.
07:22:26PM SO THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT, THERE IS THERE ARE DIFFERENT
07:22:29PM STYLES.
07:22:29PM WE ARE GOING TO RESPECT DETAIL, MATERIALS, TEXTURE.
07:22:38PM MY BACKGROUND IS HISTORIC PRESERVATION AND I WAS THE FOUNDER
07:22:42PM OF THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMISSION.
07:22:44PM I SERVED ON IT FOR SIX YEARS.
07:22:46PM CHAIRMAN FOR A LONG TIME.
07:22:48PM IT IS IMPORTANT TO ME THAT WE MAINTAIN THAT CHARACTER IN THE
07:22:51PM DISTRICT.
07:22:52PM ALTHOUGH IT SHOULD BE A CONTEMPORARY BUILDING WITH NEW
07:22:55PM TECHNOLOGIES TO BE COMPATIBLE.
07:22:58PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: OKAY.
07:22:59PM THANK YOU.
07:22:59PM I JUST WANT TO -- FOR THE RECORD, I AM A BABY BOOMER, BUT MY
07:23:03PM DAD USED TO SAY "FILLING STATION" SO THAT WORD IS VERY
07:23:07PM FAMILIAR TO ME.
07:23:08PM >> THANK YOU.
07:23:09PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: THANK YOU, SIR.
07:23:10PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
07:23:12PM REGARDING THE ARCHITECTURE STYLE.
07:23:13PM MAYBE I AM WRONG, BUT YOU LOOK AT BOUND HOUSE ARCHITECTURE
07:23:19PM FROM 100 YEARS AGO.
07:23:20PM THIS FITS INTO THAT.
07:23:21PM THIS IS REALLY NOT MODERN, IT IS ARCHITECTURE THAT HAS BEEN
07:23:25PM DONE BEFORE; HOWEVER, WHEN YOU HAVE MEDITERRANEAN --
07:23:30PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: HOW THE HOUSE WILL TURN OUT.
07:23:32PM BECAUSE THIS IS SO PREMATURE.
07:23:34PM WE SEE THIS NOW AND IT CAN LOOK TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
07:23:37PM I WANTED TO SAY WHAT MY HOPES AND DESIRES ARE FOR THE
07:23:40PM PROJECT.
07:23:41PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
07:23:41PM MISS DOCK.
07:23:43PM WE CAN GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT.
07:23:45PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: LaCHONE DOCK, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
07:23:47PM I WANT TO PUT A COUPLE OF THINGS ON THE RECORD AND I THINK
07:23:50PM TYLER MAY HAVE MENTIONED THIS, THE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN THAT
07:23:53PM WAS MENTIONED IS NOT AN ADOPTED PLAN.
07:23:55PM ALSO, MENTIONED IS THE RM-24 ZONING THAT EXISTS TO THE EAST.
07:24:02PM AND THE ALLOWABLE HEIGHT THAT ZONING DISTRICT.
07:24:07PM MAXIMUM HEIGHT THAT IS ALLOWED, THAT'S CORRECT.
07:24:10PM IT ALSO COMES WITH A STEP-BACK.
07:24:12PM ANY HEIGHT OVER 35 FEET, IT WILL STEP BACK AN ADDITIONAL
07:24:16PM FOOT.
07:24:16PM I KNOW IT WAS JUST THE HEIGHT MENTIONED, BUT JUST SO YOU ARE
07:24:19PM AWARE, IT COMES WITH A SETBACK.
07:24:21PM THE BUILDING WE ARE REFERRING TO THAT YOU HAVE BEEN
07:24:23PM DISCUSSING THAT HAS -- THAT HAS EXISTED, 16 FLOORS, THAT IS
07:24:28PM THE BAPTIST TOWERS.
07:24:30PM AN ESTIMATED SETBACK AT A ROUGH APPROXIMATE OF 75 FEET.
07:24:35PM OF COURSE IT WAS BUILT A WHILE AGO BUT WASN'T AT A ZERO
07:24:39PM SETBACK OR TWO-FOOT SETBACK AND A DIFFERENT IN THE FIELD
07:24:42PM WHEN YOU DRIVE PAST THAT.
07:24:43PM BUT ALSO, I WANTED TO PUT ON THE RECORD, THE -- THE HEIGHTS
07:24:48PM THAT ARE LISTED IN THE REVISION SHEET.
07:24:52PM AND THEN I CAN ADD TO THIS REVISION SHEET THROUGHOUT
07:24:56PM DISCUSSION IF COUNCIL WANTS ADDITIONAL THINGS THAT THE
07:25:01PM APPLICANT AGREES TO AND WITH THE BUILDING HEIGHT WHEN I
07:25:04PM SHOWED YOU THE MAP.
07:25:05PM PARCEL B, BUILDING TWO IS LIMITED TO 60 FEET.
07:25:09PM PARCEL A, BUILDING ONE, THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT IS LIMITED TO 150
07:25:14PM FEET FOR.
07:25:17PM FOR THE EASTERN 155 FOOT OF THE BUILDING.
07:25:20PM INCREASE IN THE SIDEWALK WIDTH IS FROM 15 FEET TO 18 FEET.
07:25:24PM AND THAT IS ALONG EAST ROSS AVENUE ADJACENT TO PARCEL A.
07:25:30PM INCREASE IN THE SIDEWALK WIDTH IS FROM 15 FEET TO 18 FEET.
07:25:34PM THAT SAY LONG NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE.
07:25:36PM THIS IS ADJACENT TO PARCEL C.
07:25:39PM AND THEN THE OTHERS ARE MODIFICATIONS TO THE NOTES.
07:25:41PM SO I WILL REVISE AND MAKE AMENDMENTS AS NEEDED ON THE
07:25:46PM REVISION SHEETS IF ADDITIONAL CHANGES ARE NEEDED.
07:25:49PM THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
07:25:50PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:25:52PM WE WILL GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT.
07:25:53PM I HAVE ONE REGISTERED SPEAKER.
07:25:57PM IS MICHAEL ON?
07:26:01PM MAYBE HE IS IN THE CROWD.
07:26:01PM IN-PERSON PUBLIC COMMENT.
07:26:03PM IF YOU WERE HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 7, PLEASE COME UP,
07:26:06PM STATE YOUR NAME.
07:26:07PM YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES.
07:26:08PM YES.
07:26:10PM >> GOOD EVENING, RALPH SCHULER, 2101 NORTH JEFFERSON STREET.
07:26:19PM I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
07:26:20PM SO, AGAIN, YMCA HAS BEEN A GOOD NEIGHBOR.
07:26:25PM THEY HAVE BEEN -- SIX ACRES OF UNUSED LAND WE ALL WANT
07:26:32PM DEVELOPED.
07:26:32PM THAT IS WHAT WE ALL AGREE WITH.
07:26:35PM HOW YOU DEVELOP AND HOW BIG TO DEVELOP IS THE $64 MILLION
07:26:40PM QUESTION.
07:26:41PM MAKE $600 MILLION FOR THIS PROJECT BECAUSE IT IS A VERY
07:26:45PM EXPENSIVE PROJECT.
07:26:45PM BUT, AGAIN, NORTH OF PALM, I THINK, IS JUST EXTREMELY -- THE
07:26:50PM MOST INTENSE, TALLEST BUILDING OF THIS PROJECT, 275 FEET.
07:26:57PM IT IS NORTH OF PALM.
07:26:59PM PALM AVENUE SOUTH, AS A NEIGHBORHOOD, WE HAVE ALL AGREED OR
07:27:04PM UNDERSTAND THAT IS BASICALLY, EVENTUALLY GOING TO BE PART OF
07:27:06PM THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.
07:27:08PM THE -- IF YOU LOOK AT HOW ALL THE OTHER PROJECTS IN THE
07:27:15PM NOT-SO-DISTANT PAST HAVE COME BEFORE YOU AND HAVE BEEN
07:27:18PM APPROVED, WE HAVE SEVEN STORIES THAT HAVE KIND OF BEEN THE
07:27:21PM NORM.
07:27:22PM SEVEN STORIES ACROSS THE STREET WHICH ARE TWO OFFICE
07:27:25PM BUILDINGS THAT WERE JUST CONSTRUCTED ON THE HEIGHTS PROJECT.
07:27:28PM SEVEN OR EIGHT STORIES OF THE NEW PROJECT ON 7th AVENUE.
07:27:34PM YOU LOOK AT THE PEARL, WHICH IS SEVEN STORIES, BUT YOU
07:27:38PM ACTUALLY GO TO THE NORTH BLOCK OF THE PEARL.
07:27:40PM IT IS A THREE-STORY TOWNHOUSE.
07:27:43PM THEN A FIVE-STORY PARKING GARAGE.
07:27:46PM AND THEN A SEVEN-STORY APARTMENT BUILDING.
07:27:49PM I JUST FEEL WE ARE OPENING, AGAIN, A PANDORA'S BOX.
07:27:57PM IF WE APPROVE A 25-STORY PROJECT HERE, YES, IT IS BETWEEN
07:28:01PM TWO TRANSPORTATION CORRIDORS, YES -- BUT IT ALSO FLANKS
07:28:06PM DIRECTLY TO A HISTORIC DISTRICT.
07:28:08PM IT ALSO IS GOING TO HAVE ALL THEIR PARKING -- I DON'T KNOW
07:28:11PM HOW MANY THOUSAND OF PARKING ON ROSS AVENUE.
07:28:13PM ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET.
07:28:14PM YES, IT IS BETWEEN TWO COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS.
07:28:18PM BUT GUESS WHAT?
07:28:19PM IT IS ONE-WAY STREETS.
07:28:20PM WHAT ARE PEOPLE GOING TO DO?
07:28:23PM THEY WILL CUT THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND COME DOWN MY
07:28:25PM STREET AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE'S STREETS AND WEAVE THEIR WAY
07:28:29PM THROUGH.
07:28:30PM AND WE ARE GOING TO LIVE WITH THIS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE
07:28:32PM AND MY CHILD -- CHILDREN'S LIVES.
07:28:36PM SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IS THAT BIG --
07:28:40PM AND THAT IMPORTANT OF AN ISSUE.
07:28:41PM IF THEY CAME BEFORE US WITH A NEW DEVELOPMENT AS STAFF HAD
07:28:45PM SUGGESTED, TEN STORIES, I WOULD BE FOR IT.
07:28:48PM SOUTH OF PALM, 20 SOMETHING STORIES, I GUESS THAT IS WHAT WE
07:28:53PM WILL HAVE TO DO.
07:28:53PM AND I AM PROBABLY OKAY WITH IT.
07:28:55PM THE -- THE EXISTING PALM AVENUE BAPTIST TOWER BUILT IN 1974
07:29:02PM IS ONE BUILDING, SET 75 FEET ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THAT
07:29:06PM PROJECT.
07:29:06PM YOU CAN'T EVEN NOTICE -- IT IS A GREEN FIELD WHEN YOU DRIVE
07:29:10PM BY IT ON PALM AVENUE.
07:29:11PM TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
07:29:14PM MY NAME FOR PALM AVENUE IS GOING TO BE NO ON PALM.
07:29:22PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO : SPOKAS HAD A TECHNICAL GLITCH AND HE IS
07:29:25PM BACK ON.
07:29:25PM THE ONLY REGISTERED ONLINE SPEAKER.
07:29:28PM IF YOU WERE ONLINE, WHICH YOU ARE, TURN ON YOUR CAMERA AND
07:29:31PM UNMUTE YOURSELF.
07:29:32PM WE WILL SWEAR YOU IN REAL QUICK.
7:29:34PM >> HOPEFULLY YOU CAN SEE ME.
7:29:36PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND WE'LL
7:29:38PM SWEAR YOU IN.
7:29:40PM >> DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM THE TESTIMONY YOU ARE ABOUT TO
7:29:42PM GIVE IS THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH?
7:29:46PM >> I DO.
7:29:46PM >>THE CLERK: THANK YOU.
7:29:48PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, SIR.
7:29:49PM YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.
7:29:49PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
7:29:51PM >> GOOD EVENING.
7:29:53PM MY NAME IS MIKE SPOKAS.
7:29:57PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: CAN WE TURN THE VOLUME UP?
7:30:02PM >> CAN YOU HEAR ME AT ALL?
7:30:03PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE CAN, BUT IT IS VERY FAINT.
7:30:06PM >> I HAVE MY VOLUME MAXIMUM.
7:30:12PM NOT SURE WHAT OTHER SETTINGS THERE ARE HERE TO ADJUST.
7:30:15PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: JUST SPEAK LOUDER.
7:30:18PM >> OKAY.
7:30:18PM I'LL TRY TO GET A LITTLE CLOSER HERE.
7:30:21PM I LIVE AT 210 EAST ROSS AVENUE.
7:30:25PM MY FAMILY HAS LIVED HERE FOR THE PAST 17 YEARS.
7:30:28PM WE LIVED IN TAMPA HEIGHTS FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS.
7:30:30PM WE LOVE IT HERE.
7:30:34PM UNFORTUNATELY, WE ALSO LIVE 400 FEET AWAY FROM THE PROPOSED
7:30:38PM 275-FOOT TOWER THAT'S BEING PROPOSED TO BE BUILT ON THE
7:30:42PM NORTH SIDE OF PALM AVENUE.
7:30:44PM ALTHOUGH I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THE PROJECT AS A WHOLE, I DO
7:30:47PM FEEL THE SCALE OF THE BUILDING NORTH OF PALM IS JUST TOO
7:30:52PM MASSIVE FOR THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:30:54PM IDEALLY A BUILDING NO HIGHER THAN 150-FOOT WOULD BE ALLOWED.
7:30:58PM I DO APPRECIATE THEM WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY AND GETTING
7:31:03PM FEEDBACK AND TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS
7:31:07PM WE'VE HAD.
7:31:09PM BUT, YOU KNOW, IF PALM AVENUE IS THE UNOFFICIAL END OF
7:31:14PM DOWNTOWN, IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE WHY THE TALLEST BUILDING
7:31:17PM IN THE ENTIRE PROJECT WOULD BE BUILT NORTH OF PALM.
7:31:19PM THE PROJECT NORTH OF PALM SHOULD START TAPERING DOWN AND
7:31:25PM TRANSITIONING INTO THE REST OF THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD,
7:31:29PM NOT GETTING BIGGER.
7:31:30PM AT ITS PROPOSED HEIGHT, WE WILL LITERALLY BE LIVING IN THE
7:31:33PM SHADOW OF THIS PROJECT EVERY AFTERNOON.
7:31:36PM AS WELL CUT-THRU TRAFFIC ON ROSS AVENUE IS A PROBLEM
7:31:44PM ALREADY.
7:31:44PM THIS PROJECT ON ANY SCALE IS GOING TO ONLY MAKE MATTERS
7:31:50PM WORSE.
7:31:50PM SO I FEEL THERE NEEDS TO BE CONCRETE PLANS IN WRITING THAT
7:31:57PM ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE, WHICH IT WILL BE AN ISSUE.
7:32:01PM AND AS WELL, YOU KNOW, I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY
7:32:05PM SAID THIS ALREADY, BUT PARKING ON ROSS AVENUE, THERE NEEDS
7:32:09PM TO BE REAL PLANS PUT IN PLACE THAT'S GOING TO ADDRESS THE
7:32:14PM PARKING ISSUE THAT WILL BE THERE ON PALM AVENUE.
7:32:19PM THANK YOU.
7:32:20PM THAT'S IT.
7:32:20PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
7:32:21PM COMMISSIONER MURMAN.
7:32:27PM >> GOOD EVENING.
7:32:28PM AND THANK YOU ALL.
7:32:29PM I SAT HERE AND LISTENED TO YOU ALL --
7:32:33PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
7:32:34PM JUST SAY YOUR NAME.
7:32:36PM >> SANDY MURMAN.
7:32:37PM I'M SORRY.
7:32:37PM I THOUGHT YOU SAID IT AND THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH.
7:32:40PM I'M A FORMER COUNTY COMMISSIONER AND STATE LEGISLATOR.
7:32:44PM LIVED IN THIS COMMUNITY OVER 45 YEARS.
7:32:46PM I COULDN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS PROJECT.
7:32:52PM AS A COUNTY COMMISSIONER, I JUST WANT TO SAY I DID A YMCA
7:33:00PM PROJECT IN SOUTH COUNTY.
7:33:02PM I FELT IT WAS THAT IMPORTANT TO BE A CENTERPIECE FOR THAT
7:33:05PM SOUTH COUNTY COMMUNITY TO BRING ACTIVITY, LIVE, WORK, AND
7:33:09PM PLAY ENVIRONMENT.
7:33:10PM WHAT WAS A MONTH OR TWO LATER, THEY HAD THE HIGHEST NUMBER
7:33:14PM OF MEMBERSHIPS IN ALL OF HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY.
7:33:18PM AND THAT'S WHAT THIS PROJECT WILL DO BECAUSE THESE ARE SUCH
7:33:22PM PROVEN PROJECTS AND COMMUNITIES WHERE YOU PUT THEM.
7:33:28PM THEY GIVE SO MUCH VALUE TO THE CITIZENS.
7:33:34PM YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE JOBS.
7:33:35PM YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE LIVE, WORK, AND PLAY ENVIRONMENT.
7:33:39PM AND THAT'S WHAT WE ALL WANT FOR OUR CONSTITUENTS AS WE STUDY
7:33:43PM THESE PROJECTS.
7:33:44PM IT'S SO COMMUNITY BASED.
7:33:48PM IT BRINGS HEALTH AND WELLNESS, PROGRAMS, CHILD CARE,
7:33:52PM SWIMMING LESSONS.
7:33:53PM WHATEVER YOU WANT.
7:33:56PM FOR YOUR CONSTITUENTS YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GET THEM THIS YMCA
7:34:00PM PROJECT.
7:34:01PM I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH OVER THE YEARS.
7:34:03PM IN FACT, THE COUNTY ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE Y TO
7:34:06PM EVEN CONTINUE BEING AN EXTENSION OF SOME OF THE PROGRAMS
7:34:10PM THEY OFFER OUT IN THE COMMUNITY.
7:34:12PM SO THIS IS A LEGACY PROJECT I FEEL FOR ALL OF YOU.
7:34:18PM I KNOW YOU'RE STUDYING IT VERY HARD, BUT I THINK TONIGHT
7:34:22PM IT'S IMPORTANT TO SUPPORT THIS, TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT
7:34:27PM BECAUSE IT WILL BE A CENTERPIECE AS YOU GO NORTH OF DOWNTOWN
7:34:33PM OUT OF DOWNTOWN.
7:34:34PM IT'S GOING TO BE A TRUE CENTER PIECE FOR THIS COMMUNITY.
7:34:39PM AND I'VE SEEN A LOT OF CHANGES, BUT THIS, I THINK, WILL BE
7:34:42PM ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHANGES WE SEE GOING FORWARD.
7:34:45PM SO I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME.
7:34:48PM I DO WANT TO SAY COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, ONE OF THE LAST THINGS
7:34:52PM WE DID ON THE COUNTY COMMISSION WAS MAKE SURE OUR COMP PLANS
7:34:55PM AND ZONING ITEMS CAME IN TOGETHER.
7:35:00PM I JUST HAD TO PUT THAT IN THERE.
7:35:02PM THANK YOU ALL.
7:35:05PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: LAND USE HUMOR.
7:35:06PM LAND USE HUMOR.
7:35:07PM YES, SIR.
7:35:07PM [ LAUGHTER ]
7:35:07PM GO AHEAD, SIR, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
7:35:10PM >> CEDRIC ROOK.
7:35:12PM 41 EAST ROSS.
7:35:14PM BEEN THERE SINCE 1993.
7:35:16PM ALSO SPENT 41 YEARS IN THE MILITARY.
7:35:18PM I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT THINGS THAT BRIEF WELL GENERALLY
7:35:22PM DON'T GO AS WELL AS THEY ARE BRIEFED.
7:35:24PM BEAR THAT IN MIND WHEN YOU'RE DOING YOUR DISCUSSION.
7:35:27PM ALSO, ON THE TRANSPORTATION PIECE, HART SAYS THAT THEY HAVE
7:35:31PM SEVERAL ROUTES THAT ARE COMING THROUGH THAT AREA.
7:35:33PM WISH THEY DO.
7:35:34PM WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT IS THE ON-TIME PROGRESS OF THOSE
7:35:37PM ROUTES AND ALSO THE ROUTABILITY ON THOSE ROUTES.
7:35:41PM THINGS HAPPEN.
7:35:42PM SO THE TRANSPORTATION PIECE IS A REALLY MAJOR PIECE AND ALSO
7:35:46PM COMING THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:35:47PM IT IS GOING TO BE THE SIZE OF THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO BRING
7:35:52PM TRAFFIC.
7:35:52PM NO WAY OF GETTING AROUND IT.
7:35:54PM THERE WILL BE TRAFFIC.
7:35:55PM WHAT WE CAN'T -- WE CAN'T CONTROL THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF
7:35:59PM TRAFFIC.
7:35:59PM WHAT WE CAN DO IS DOWNSIZE THAT SCALE AND PERHAPS THAT WILL
7:36:03PM CONTROL SOME OF THE TRAFFIC.
7:36:04PM ALSO, I HAVE STAKEHOLDERS.
7:36:06PM MY WIFE AND TWO DAUGHTERS, WE HAVE FIVE PROPERTIES IN THE
7:36:10PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:36:10PM KEEP THOSE GUYS IN MIND BECAUSE I HAVE TO ANSWER THOSE AS
7:36:13PM WELL.
7:36:13PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:36:14PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
7:36:15PM YES, MA'AM.
7:36:16PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
7:36:17PM >> HI.
7:36:18PM MY NAME IS CARROLL ANN BENNETT.
7:36:20PM I WANT TO SAY THAT I LOVE THIS PROJECT.
7:36:22PM I LOVE THE DENSITY.
7:36:23PM I LOVE THE LOCATION.
7:36:24PM THE IDEA THAT WHEN WE GET HIT WITH THE NEXT STORM WHICH WILL
7:36:29PM PROBABLY BE MONTHS FROM NOW, PEOPLE CAN SHELTER IN PLACE.
7:36:31PM MEANS THEY WON'T BE ON THE ROADWAYS STOPPING THOSE OF US WHO
7:36:35PM MUST EVACUATE FROM GETTING FROM SAFELY EVACUATING.
7:36:38PM MY ONLY CONCERN IS THE HEIGHT.
7:36:45PM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CANNOT RESPOND TO AN ALARM IN A
7:36:51PM HIGH-RISE, THE SAME WAY IT RESPONDS TO AN ALARM IN SOMETHING
7:36:56PM THAT IS NOT A HIGH-RISE.
7:36:59PM IT TAKES MORE UNITS TO RESPOND.
7:37:01PM TAKES MORE EQUIPMENT, MORE EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT.
7:37:04PM EVEN IF THERE ARE NO FLAMES OR SMOKE, IT COSTS A LOT MORE
7:37:07PM FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO RESPOND TO AN ALARM IN A
7:37:10PM HIGH-RISE THAN A NON-HIGH-RISE.
7:37:13PM RIGHT NOW, WE CANNOT BUILD THE FIRE STATIONS WE NEED FOR
7:37:17PM WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE.
7:37:18PM WE CAN'T AFFORD TO DO IT.
7:37:20PM WE CAN'T AFFORD THE FIREFIGHTERS.
7:37:22PM WE CAN'T AFFORD THE EQUIPMENT.
7:37:23PM YOU CAN BUILD THE SAME NUMBER OF UNITS AND COST LESS IN
7:37:28PM FIRST RESPONDER EXPENSES IF THE BUILDING IS SHORTER.
7:37:34PM SO IT'S NOT A ONE-FOR-ONE EXCHANGE.
7:37:38PM AND WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR THE EXTRA EXPENSE OF RESPONDING
7:37:42PM TO A HIGH-RISE?
7:37:44PM THE DEVELOPER ISN'T BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE PUBLIC SAFETY
7:37:48PM IMPACT FEES.
7:37:48PM THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN OTHER AREAS AND PAY INTO THE GENERAL
7:37:54PM FUND ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT.
7:37:57PM THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION.
7:38:01PM I'M NOT SAYING -- THE NUMBER OF UNITS.
7:38:06PM I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA.
7:38:08PM BUT THE UNITS, YOU CAN SHRINK THE SIZE OF THE BUILDING IF
7:38:11PM YOU SHRINK THE SIZE OF THE UNITS.
7:38:13PM EVERY SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT YOU REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE UNITS,
7:38:16PM YOU MAKE THE UNIT MORE AFFORDABLE TO MORE PEOPLE.
7:38:19PM EVERY SQUARE FOOT THAT YOU ADD TO THE SIZE OF THE UNIT, YOU
7:38:22PM MAKE IT MORE EXPENSIVE AND LESS PEOPLE CAN AFFORD IT AND YOU
7:38:25PM HAVE TO INCREASE THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING.
7:38:27PM THE DENSITY IS EXCELLENT.
7:38:28PM EVERYTHING IS EXCELLENT.
7:38:29PM IT IS THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING.
7:38:30PM AND WE NEED TO START THINKING IN TERMS OF THE SERVICES AND
7:38:34PM THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT HAVE TO GO IN SUPPORT OF THESE
7:38:37PM HIGH-RISES.
7:38:38PM THE OTHER THING I WANT TO SAY IS I RECENTLY FOUND OUT, THE
7:38:44PM SITE PLAN, THE LANDSCAPING PLAN FOR THE TREES, SOME DEBATE
7:38:48PM THERE, BUT THEY HAVE A GOOD PLAN.
7:38:50PM BUT I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT WITH PDs, THE LANDSCAPING
7:38:54PM PLAN IS NOT A REQUIREMENT OF THE PD.
7:38:56PM WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THESE LANDSCAPING PLANS CANNOT BE
7:39:00PM CHANGED BECAUSE AS IT STANDS NOW, THEY ARE NOT A REQUIREMENT
7:39:03PM TO ADHERE TO THESE PLANS.
7:39:05PM THEY CAN SAY THEY HAVE THIS WONDERFUL PLAN AND THEN CHANGE
7:39:08PM THEIR MIND AND THERE'S NOTHING TO HOLD THEM TO IT.
7:39:11PM THANK YOU.
7:39:11PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:39:12PM YES, MA'AM.
7:39:12PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
7:39:15PM >> HELLO, CITY COUNCIL.
7:39:16PM MY NAME IS TATIANA MORALES.
7:39:19PM I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF NIMBY TAMPA.
7:39:23PM I WANTED TO START FIRST WITH SOMETHING THAT WAS MENTIONED IN
7:39:24PM THE HOUSING WORKSHOP THAT ACTUALLY WHEN YOU WERE TALKING
7:39:26PM ABOUT HOUSING, I WAS IN AUSTIN TALKING ABOUT HOUSING AT THE
7:39:29PM NATIONAL CONFERENCE.
7:39:30PM ONE OF THE BIG GRAPHS THAT CAME UP IS WHAT CITIES ARE
7:39:33PM BUILDING SUPER TALL BUILDINGS.
7:39:35PM WE BROKE DOWN THE NUMBERS.
7:39:37PM TAMPA IS NOT BUILDING THAT MANY BUILDINGS THAT HIGH.
7:39:39PM I SAY THAT AS SOMEONE BORN IN MIAMI AND MOVED HERE.
7:39:42PM I KNOW WHAT A SKYSCRAPER NEXT TO ME LOOKS LIKE.
7:39:46PM WHEN WE THINK ABOUT HOW LAST SUMMER WAS THE HOTTEST ON
7:39:49PM RECORD AND THIS SUMMER WILL PROBABLY BE THE NEXT HOTTEST,
7:39:52PM IT'S GOOD TO HAVE BUILDINGS THAT COOL DOWN STREETS.
7:39:55PM PALM IS A DEATH TRAP.
7:39:57PM IT'S REALLY DANGEROUS AND IT WOULD BE A MASSIVE IMPROVEMENT
7:39:59PM HAVING 18-FOOT SIDEWALKS SO I CAN GET OFF OF PALM AND NOT
7:40:02PM WONDER IS SOMEONE GOING TO HIT ME COMING OUT OF THE YMCA OR
7:40:06PM GOING WHATEVER DIRECTION.
7:40:07PM THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD POINTS.
7:40:11PM WE HAVE 50,000 UNITS TO CATCH UP TO THE NEED WE HAVE RIGHT
7:40:14PM NOW.
7:40:14PM WE HAVE 26,000 AFFORDABLE.
7:40:16PM WITH 48 UNITS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT ADDS AROUND 9.6% OF
7:40:20PM AFFORDABLE UNITS IF WE'RE GOING TO CUT THE 48 OUT OF THE 500
7:40:24PM THAT THE CITY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DO.
7:40:26PM SO THIS PUTS YOU 10% OUT OF THAT MASSIVE GOAL.
7:40:29PM IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WITH EVERY AFFORDABLE UNIT WE ADD
7:40:32PM AND ADD AND ADD TO THE SUPPLY WHAT LOOKS LIKE IN THAT
7:40:34PM COMMUNITY.
7:40:35PM I HAVE FRIENDS THAT LIVE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:40:37PM I'M THERE ALL THE TIME.
7:40:39PM GO TO LEE'S.
7:40:41PM BIKE AROUND THE BOOKSTORE.
7:40:42PM IN THE AREA FREQUENT.
7:40:44PM THE DOWN SIDE, THERE AREN'T THAT MANY APARTMENTS OR PLACES
7:40:46PM FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO LIVE.
7:40:48PM I HAVE FRIENDS MOVING TO ATLANTA IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS
7:40:50PM BECAUSE THEY WERE LOOKING FOR PLACES IN TAMPA HEIGHTS BUT
7:40:52PM ALL THEY COULD FIND WAS EITHER A BIG BUILDING CHOPPED UP
7:40:55PM ILLEGALLY THERE OR THE APARTMENTS THAT ARE ALREADY FULL OR
7:40:58PM WE CAN GO TO THE OTHER SIDE OF COLUMBUS COURT, WHICH THOSE
7:41:01PM APARTMENTS AREN'T IN THE GREATEST CONDITION.
7:41:03PM SO THERE ARE A LOT OF REALLY BIG POINTS ON THE PROJECT, WE
7:41:07PM NEED TO ADD STOCK, DENSITY AND TO THE COMMUNITY.
7:41:10PM ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT THE AREA, RIGHT NOW, IT'S JUST LOTS.
7:41:13PM IT'S LOTS, A HOLLOW SENSE OF NOTHING.
7:41:17PM WHEN WE CAN CONNECT WHAT ARMATURE WORKS IS BUILDING AND MAKE
7:41:20PM THIS A COHESIVE URBAN ENVIRONMENT.
7:41:22PM WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS A BIG STEP THERE.
7:41:24PM THEY HAVE DONE SO MANY ACCOMMODATIONS WITH MOVING THINGS
7:41:27PM AROUND AND ADJUSTING WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IN THE COMMUNITY.
7:41:29PM I THINK EVERY TIME WE DELAY AND DELAY AND PUSH AND PUSH, WE
7:41:34PM GET FURTHER AND FURTHER FROM MEETING THE HOUSING GOALS THAT
7:41:37PM KEEP ME IN THIS CITY BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE
7:41:40PM ME MY AGE THAT ARE SAYING, ACTUALLY, I DON'T THINK TAMPA IS
7:41:42PM FOR ME ANYMORE.
7:41:43PM WHAT IS SCARY, I KNOW A LOT OF YOU HAVE KIDS.
7:41:45PM I KNOW A LOT OF YOU WANT YOUR KIDS TO BE HERE.
7:41:48PM AT THIS MOMENT, FIVE, TEN YEARS, UNLESS THEY CAN MAKE $3,000
7:41:51PM A MONTH, THEY CAN'T STAY HERE.
7:41:53PM ONE LAST THING ABOUT PARKING, A LOT OF PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT
7:41:55PM PARKING AND TRAFFIC.
7:41:56PM PARKING AND TRAFFIC IS GOING TO GET WORSE.
7:41:58PM WE HAVE 150 PEOPLE MOVING TO THE CITY OF TAMPA A DAY UNTIL
7:42:03PM WE INVEST IN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, EXPANDING OUR BUS LINES
7:42:06PM AND MAKE THINGS BETTER, WE WILL NOT MOVE AWAY FROM THAT.
7:42:09PM THAT WILL KEEP HAPPEN.
7:42:11PM PARKING IS ARBITRARILY MEASURED.
7:42:12PM THE WAY WE MEASURE PARKING, IT'S LIKE THE AMOUNT OF
7:42:16PM HAIRDRESSER HEATER THINGS, NOT A MEASURE OF ONE TO ONE.
7:42:19PM TALK ABOUT PARKING, WE NEED TO THINK HOW DO WE MOVE PEOPLE.
7:42:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:42:22PM YES, MA'AM.
7:42:26PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
7:42:27PM >> REALLY GOOD.
7:42:29PM MY NAME IS NICOLE PETERIKA.
7:42:31PM I AM A DESIGN PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECT WITH MY BUILDING ON
7:42:35PM 7th AVENUE IN TAMPA HEIGHTS.
7:42:37PM I ALSO LIVE IN TAMPA HEIGHTS.
7:42:39PM MY CHILDREN GO TO THE YMCA CURRENTLY.
7:42:41PM I AM MASSIVELY EXCITED ABOUT THE BRAND-NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART
7:42:47PM BEST IN THE COUNTRY YMCA THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BUILDING
7:42:49PM HERE.
7:42:50PM I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE PHENOMENAL.
7:42:54PM I'M ALSO REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF A GROUND
7:42:59PM LEASE AS A BUSINESS MODEL FOR THE YMCA.
7:43:03PM WHAT THAT'S GOING TO DO FOR NEIGHBORHOODS OUTSIDE OF OURS,
7:43:07PM WE SHOULD BE PROUD THAT WE CAN BE A PART OF THAT AND GET
7:43:09PM BEHIND THAT AND SUPPORT THAT.
7:43:11PM THAT IS THE MAIN THING.
7:43:12PM THE LAST THING I WANT TO SAY IS I THINK THE EFFORTS THAT ARE
7:43:18PM BEING MADE IN TERMS OF STEPPING BACK 150 FEET GIVING THAT UP
7:43:24PM WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO, AND THEY COULD GO UP HIGHER, BUT
7:43:30PM THEY ARE STEPPING BACK THE 150 FEET DOWN TO 150 FEET AND
7:43:33PM TRYING TO MATCH THE Y BUILDING ACROSS THE STREET.
7:43:38PM THEY ARE HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
7:43:44PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:43:46PM >> BRENDAN McLAUGHLIN, 405 EAST ROSS AVENUE.
7:43:49PM I SPOKE EARLIER.
7:43:50PM MY COMMENTS WERE PERHAPS NOT GERMANE TO THE FIRST PART, THE
7:43:55PM LAND USE.
7:43:55PM I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION IT WAS MY ONLY OPPORTUNITY TO
7:43:58PM SHARE MY THOUGHTS ON THIS.
7:44:00PM I WOULD ONLY LIKE TO ADD AT THIS POINT THAT I HAVE BEEN A
7:44:03PM MEMBER OF THE Y FOR 17 YEARS.
7:44:05PM MY WIFE AND I WE'VE BEEN SUPPORTING THE Y DURING THAT TIME.
7:44:08PM I WORK OUT THERE ONCE IN A WHILE.
7:44:11PM I FIND IT TO BE AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF OUR COMMUNITY.
7:44:16PM WELL LED, WELL RUN, WELL STAFFED.
7:44:18PM SO I WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.
7:44:20PM I ALSO WENT TO THE OPEN HOUSE REFERENCED EARLIER AND I WAS
7:44:24PM VERY IMPRESSED BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY DID LISTEN.
7:44:27PM THEY CHANGED THE HEIGHT OF THE NEW Y PROJECT FROM SOMETHING
7:44:31PM LIKE NINE STORIES DOWN TO FOUR STORIES OR 90 FEET TO 60 FEET
7:44:35PM I SHOULD SAY.
7:44:35PM SO I WAS VERY IMPRESSED BY THAT.
7:44:38PM I WOULD ADD THE CAVEAT THAT I THINK THERE ARE OTHER DETAILS
7:44:41PM TO ATTEND TO, THAT IS NOISE PERHAPS FROM THE SWIMMING POOL
7:44:44PM WHICH IS GOING TO BE OUTSIDE.
7:44:45PM THE LOCATION OF THAT, THE KIND OF SOUND WALL THAT MIGHT BE
7:44:48PM PART OF THAT IS IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE THAT WANT TO LIVE ON
7:44:51PM ROSS AVENUE.
7:44:52PM ALSO, PEOPLE USING ROSS AVENUE AS A SHORTCUT.
7:44:55PM THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME WAY TO ADDRESS THAT BECAUSE THAT
7:44:58PM COULD BE A REAL MESS.
7:44:59PM MY ONLY HOPE IN CONCLUSION IS THAT THEY APPLY THE SAME SORT
7:45:04PM OF FLEXIBILITY IN LISTENING TO THIS 24-STORY BUILDING ON THE
7:45:10PM WEST SIDE OF FLORIDA BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY PART OF THIS
7:45:14PM PROJECT THAT I THINK IS REALLY OUT OF BALANCE.
7:45:18PM I DON'T THINK MAKING THAT BUILDING 18 STORIES OR 15 STORIES
7:45:22PM WOULD CHANGE THE ECONOMICS OR THE VIABILITY OF THIS PROJECT
7:45:26PM ONE BIT, BUT IT WOULD MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE TO THE PEOPLE
7:45:29PM THAT LIVE NORTH OF PALM AVENUE IN TERMS OF MAINTAINING THE
7:45:32PM HISTORICAL INTEGRITY AND THE LIVEABILITY AND THE RESIDENTIAL
7:45:36PM COMPONENT OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:45:38PM THANK YOU.
7:45:38PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
7:45:39PM YES, SIR.
7:45:40PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
7:45:43PM >> GOOD EVENING.
7:45:43PM MATT SINGH.
7:45:45PM 410 WEST PARK AVENUE.
7:45:47PM I'VE COME TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.
7:45:49PM THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO TRANSFORM OUR
7:45:51PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:45:52PM WE WANT TO BE A WORLD-CLASS CITY, WE NEED TO START BEHAVING
7:45:56PM LIKE ONE AND GETTING LARGER PROJECTS LIKE THIS THROUGH.
7:45:58PM I KNOW A LOT OF TIMES WE TALK ABOUT PARKING ISSUES AND
7:46:02PM TRAFFIC AND ALL THESE THINGS.
7:46:03PM REMEMBER TECHNOLOGY CHANGES IN THE WAY -- AND THE WAY WE
7:46:06PM MOVE AROUND CHANGES.
7:46:07PM IF WE CREATE ENVIRONMENTS LIKE THEY PROPOSE HERE WHERE WE
7:46:10PM HAVE A LIVE, WORK, PLAY SITUATION, MAYBE THE CARS AREN'T
7:46:13PM GOING TO BE AS IMPORTANT.
7:46:14PM JUST LIKE THE COUNCILMAN SAID, THEY ADD TWO LANES TO THE
7:46:17PM HIGHWAY AND THEY GET CLOGGED UP.
7:46:19PM GUESS WHAT, WE ARE A VICTIM OF OUR OWN MAKING.
7:46:21PM IF WE PUT PARKING SPACES, WE'LL DRIVE MORE PEOPLE, HAVE MORE
7:46:26PM VEHICLES.
7:46:26PM MAKE IT AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE PEOPLE CAN WALK, LIVE, PLAY AND
7:46:29PM NOT NEED A VEHICLE, WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO TAKE ON THE EXTRA
7:46:32PM EXPENSES.
7:46:32PM THE OTHER THING IMPORTANT TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS THAT
7:46:35PM AFFORDABILITY AS BECOME A REALLY BIG CHALLENGE.
7:46:38PM ALSO OWNING A VEHICLE IS A BIG PORTION OF THAT.
7:46:41PM IF WE HAVE RENTS THAT KEEP CLIMBING AND CLIMBING, WHAT
7:46:45PM HAPPENS TO THE OFFSET.
7:46:46PM DON'T PAY FOR INSURANCE AND CARS.
7:46:48PM WE HAVE PROJECTS LIKE THIS WHERE WE HOUSE EVERYTHING WE NEED
7:46:51PM IN A SMALL, WALKABLE AREA.
7:46:53PM WE CAN WALK TO DOWNTOWN IN UNDER FIVE MINUTES.
7:46:55PM WHERE ELSE CAN YOU GET THAT?
7:46:56PM AND TO LET IT GO JUST BECAUSE WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT
7:46:59PM TRAFFIC WILL BE LIKE OR WHAT METROPOLITAN MINISTRIES WILL DO
7:47:02PM DOWN THE ROAD, METROPOLITAN MINISTRIES AND THE SCHOOL IS NOT
7:47:05PM ON THE TABLE TODAY.
7:47:06PM WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT'S IN FRONT OF US AND WHAT PROJECTS
7:47:09PM HAVE LEGS THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING IN THE NEXT FIVE
7:47:12PM TO TEN YEARS THAT WOULD CHANGE OUR LIVES.
7:47:14PM I'M COMING TO YOU GUYS TODAY ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR A
7:47:18PM PROJECT LIKE THIS BECAUSE IT WILL CHANGE THE WAY WE LIVE AND
7:47:20PM THE NEIGHBORHOOD WE ARE IN.
7:47:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
7:47:24PM YES, SIR.
7:47:24PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
7:47:25PM >> GOOD EVENING COUNCIL MEMBERS, CHRIS KIRSHNER.
7:47:28PM 600 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
7:47:30PM PLEASURE TO BE HERE THIS EVENING.
7:47:33PM SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE Y.
7:47:34PM 30 PLUS YEAR RESIDENT.
7:47:38PM BEEN BLESSED TO RAISE MY FAMILY IN THIS COMMUNITY AND HAVE
7:47:42PM MY BUSINESS HERE, GROW MY BUSINESS.
7:47:45PM THERE'S NO BETTER CITY THAN TAMPA AND WE ARE ALL BLESSED TO
7:47:47PM BE HERE.
7:47:48PM OF LATE, I THINK WE ALL RECOGNIZED SOME OF THE GREAT THINGS
7:47:52PM THAT DEVELOPMENT CAN BRING TO A CITY AND COMMUNITY -- JOBS,
7:47:57PM AFFLUENCE, SO MANY WONDERFUL THINGS HAVE HAPPENED IN THE
7:48:00PM LAST FEW YEARS THAT'S REALLY AMAZING.
7:48:03PM THIS BEFORE US HERE IS JUST ANOTHER STEP, ANOTHER PAGE IN
7:48:08PM THAT STORY.
7:48:10PM WE COULDN'T BE MORE BLESSED.
7:48:11PM I'M ALSO A Y MEMBER AND I'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW THE DEVELOPMENT
7:48:16PM TEAM AND THE OWNERSHIP OF THE Y.
7:48:19PM AGAIN, WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE SUCH GREAT LEADERSHIP.
7:48:23PM THIS GROUP, I'VE BEEN WORKING HERE FOR 30-PLUS YEARS IN THE
7:48:27PM DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS AND DEVELOPMENT.
7:48:29PM I WORKED A LOT OF DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT GROUPS.
7:48:32PM I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE KIND OF OUTREACH THAT'S BEEN DONE
7:48:35PM HERE.
7:48:35PM THIS Y LEADERSHIP HAS PUT IN MORE THAN TWO YEARS OF
7:48:39PM OUTREACH, GOING BACK OVER TWO YEARS, INCLUDING CITY STAFF,
7:48:44PM VARIOUS AGENCIES, COMMUNITIES, CIVIC ASSOCIATIONS, ALL THE
7:48:48PM SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS, GONE TO GREAT PAINS AND IT'S
7:48:51PM BEEN VERY IMPRESSIVE THE CONSCIENTIOUS APPROACH THEY HAVE
7:48:56PM TAKEN TO GET TO THIS POINT.
7:48:59PM IT'S NOT BY ACCIDENT GOT HERE WITH SUCH SUPPORT AND
7:49:02PM APPROVAL.
7:49:02PM YOU HEARD THAT TONIGHT.
7:49:04PM GENERALLY SPEAKING, EVERYONE HERE IS IN FAVOR OF THE
7:49:07PM PROJECT.
7:49:08PM THERE'S DEBATE OVER THE HEIGHT AND WHERE THE DENSITY SHOULD
7:49:11PM GO, UNDERSTANDABLY.
7:49:13PM BUT NONETHELESS, WE ALL RECOGNIZE WHAT A GREAT PROJECT AND
7:49:17PM GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY, THE Y AND ITS
7:49:21PM MISSION AND THE Y MEMBERS LIKE MYSELF, TOO.
7:49:23PM LOOK FORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO REALIZE WORLD-CLASS, BEST IN
7:49:27PM CLASS ASSET THAT THIS WILL PROVIDE.
7:49:30PM I DO WANT TO CLOSE WITH SOMETHING.
7:49:32PM THERE IS A BIT OF A MISNOMER GOING ABOUT MID-RISE IS MORE
7:49:37PM AFFORDABLE THAN THE HIGH-RISE AND IT MAKES MORE SENSE.
7:49:40PM THAT IS ACTUALLY NOT TRUE.
7:49:41PM I'M INVOLVED IN MULTIPLE PROJECTS.
7:49:44PM REAL-TIME NUMBERS ARE COMING IN ON ONE PROJECT IN PARTICULAR
7:49:48PM IS 27 STORY.
7:49:49PM THE OTHER ONE IS 14 STORY.
7:49:51PM SAME SQUARE FOOTAGE, SAME CONSTRUCTION TYPE.
7:49:54PM AND THE 14 STORY IS ABOUT 40% MORE EXPENSIVE.
7:49:57PM WHY?
7:49:57PM BECAUSE IT'S MORE SPREAD OUT.
7:50:00PM WE HAVE MORE FOUNDATIONS.
7:50:03PM MORE CORNERS.
7:50:04PM IT ACTUALLY ADDS COST.
7:50:06PM I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE AWARE OF THAT.
7:50:09PM THANK YOU.
7:50:09PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:50:11PM >> MY NAME IS CAMBRIA SIMS, 109 WEST HANNA AVENUE.
7:50:16PM I AM A BORN AND RAISED TAMPANIAN.
7:50:19PM I HAVE LIVED IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS FOR GOING ON TEN YEARS, AND
7:50:23PM I AM A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER.
7:50:25PM I'D LIKE TO TALK THIS EVENING ABOUT THE IMPACT THAT THE Y
7:50:30PM HAS MADE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
7:50:31PM THE YMCA HAS SHOWN ITS DEDICATION TO THE TAMPA BAY COMMUNITY
7:50:35PM SINCE 1908 FOR MORE THAN A HUNDRED YEARS IT HAS PROVEN ITS
7:50:40PM DEDICATION TO OUR COMMUNITY AND ALL WHO RESIDE IN IT.
7:50:45PM FOR SIX OF THOSE YEARS, I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN
7:50:50PM AND AM STILL LEARNING ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT FACETS OF
7:50:54PM CARE, RESPECT, AND RESPONSIBILITY IT EXHIBITS IN OUR
7:50:59PM COMMUNITY.
7:50:59PM THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TIME TO EXPLAIN THOSE MANY FACETS AND
7:51:05PM THOSE INITIATIVES.
7:51:06PM BUT I CAN SAY THAT I AM AMAZED BY THIS ORGANIZATION AND ALL
7:51:10PM OF ITS TEAM MEMBERS WHO WORK TIRELESSLY TO BETTER THIS
7:51:15PM COMMUNITY, RAISE UP THE FAMILY, AND COME ALONGSIDE THE
7:51:20PM INDIVIDUAL.
7:51:20PM I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROJECT WILL ONLY EXPAND THE EFFORTS
7:51:25PM IMMEASURABLY AND BENEFIT TAMPA IN WAYS THAT WE CAN ONLY
7:51:30PM IMAGINE.
7:51:31PM I'M IN FAVOR OF THIS PROJECT.
7:51:34PM THANK YOU.
7:51:34PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:51:36PM YES, MA'AM.
7:51:37PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
7:51:41PM >> GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL.
7:51:43PM JACQUELINE WARNER GARMAN, OWNER OF HIDDEN SPRINGS ALE WORKS,
7:51:47PM 1631 NORTH FRANKLIN STREET.
7:51:50PM IT IS MY PRIVILEGE TO STAND BEFORE YOU IN FULL SUPPORT OF
7:51:53PM THE YMCA PROJECT, A VENTURE THAT HOLDS IMMENSE PROMISE FOR
7:51:57PM THE VIBRANT COMMUNITY IN TAMPA HEIGHTS.
7:52:00PM NEARLY A DECADE, BEEN A PROUD MEMBER OF THE FRANKLIN STREET
7:52:04PM COMMUNITY AND TODAY I SPEAK NOT JUST AS A BUSINESS OWNER BUT
7:52:07PM A NEIGHBOR VESTED IN THE FUTURE OF TAMPA HEIGHTS.
7:52:14PM ALIGNS PERFECTLY WITH OUR VALUES AT THE BREWERY.
7:52:16PM WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF COMMUNITY, COLLABORATION AND
7:52:18PM INCLUSIVITY.
7:52:21PM THE YMCA PROJECT ISN'T JUST ABOUT BRICK AND MORTAR.
7:52:25PM IT'S ABOUT BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS, STRENGTHENING OUR
7:52:25PM COMMUNITY, AND LEAVING A LASTING LEGACY FOR FUTURE
7:52:28PM GENERATIONS, AND I SUPPORT THE PROJECT FOR THREE REASONS.
7:52:31PM FIRSTLY, IT WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE AS A VITAL RESOURCE FOR
7:52:35PM THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF OUR RESIDENTS.
7:52:37PM SECONDLY, IT WILL FOSTER A SENSE OF BELONGING AND UNITY
7:52:40PM BRINGING PEOPLE OF ALL BACKGROUNDS TOGETHER UNDER ONE ROOF.
7:52:44PM FINALLY, THE PROJECT IS A CATALYST FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH,
7:52:47PM ATTRACTING VISITORS AND INVESTMENT TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH
7:52:50PM IS IMPORTANT IN DRIVING LOCAL COMMERCE.
7:52:52PM BEYOND THESE PRACTICAL BENEFITS, THE YMCA PROJECT REPRESENTS
7:52:55PM SOMETHING DEEPER, A SYMBOL OF PROGRESS, COLLABORATION, AND
7:52:59PM COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT.
7:53:00PM BY SUPPORTING THIS ENDEAVOR, WE ARE INVESTING IN THE FUTURE
7:53:03PM OF TAMPA HEIGHTS AND LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR A STRONGER,
7:53:06PM MORE RESILIENT AND MORE INCLUSIVE CITY.
7:53:09PM THANK YOU FOR THE TIME AND CONSIDERATION OF THIS PROJECT.
7:53:11PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:53:12PM YES, SIR.
7:53:18PM >> MY NAME IS SHAWN NUGENT.
7:53:20PM I LIVE AT 719 SOUTH BOULEVARD.
7:53:22PM I OWN SEVERAL BUSINESSES IN THE CITY AND I WAS BORN AND
7:53:26PM RAISED HERE.
7:53:27PM I'M HERE THIS EVENING BECAUSE THE YMCA IS VERY IMPORTANT TO
7:53:30PM ME AND WAS A HUGE PART OF MY LIFE GROWING UP.
7:53:33PM I ATTENDED SUMMER CAMP IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
7:53:36PM VOLUNTEERED ALL THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL AND IT WAS MY FIRST JOB.
7:53:39PM I LITERALLY GREW UP AT THE YMCA AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR
7:53:42PM THE ROLE THAT IT PLAYED IN MY LIFE.
7:53:45PM AS AN ADULT, I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF SERVING ON THE CENTRAL
7:53:48PM CITY BOARD AND BEEN ABLE TO WITNESS FIRSTHAND THE INCREDIBLE
7:53:53PM WORK WE DO AT THIS LOCATION AND ACROSS TAMPA.
7:53:55PM I BELIEVE THIS IS A TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECT THAT WILL ALLOW
7:53:59PM THE YMCA TO FURTHER ITS MISSION ACROSS TAMPA AND DEVELOP
7:54:02PM LEADERS JUST AS IT DID FOR ME GROWING UP.
7:54:05PM I LOOK FORWARD TO FREQUENTING THE FACILITY WITH MY FAMILY.
7:54:07PM THANKS.
7:54:08PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
7:54:08PM YES, SIR.
7:54:11PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
7:54:12PM >> TROY GRAVES.
7:54:13PM I LIVE AT 202 SOUTH PARKER STREET.
7:54:16PM I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.
7:54:17PM IN THE ESSENCE OF TIME, I DEFINITELY SUPPORT THE PROJECT,
7:54:21PM BUT I DO LIVE AND PLAY HERE AND I ALSO WORK HERE.
7:54:25PM I'M A NATIVE FLORIDIAN.
7:54:27PM WHAT THE YMCA DID FOR ME IN MY EARLY LIFE, I CAME FROM A
7:54:31PM SMALL TOWN THAT DID NOT HAVE A YMCA, BUT WE DID FINALLY GET
7:54:36PM ONE, AND I GOT TO USE THAT FOR CHILD CARE AT A TIME THAT I
7:54:40PM COULDN'T PAY FOR CHILD CARE.
7:54:42PM I'M VERY INVOLVED WITH THE YMCA IN ORDER TO GIVE BACK WHAT I
7:54:46PM RECEIVED FROM THEM AND I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU WOULD BE ABLE
7:54:49PM TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO DO THE GOOD
7:54:52PM WORK THAT WE DO.
7:54:53PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
7:54:54PM SIR, YOU WILL BE THE FINAL SPEAKER BECAUSE I DON'T SEE
7:54:59PM ANYBODY STANDING UP.
7:55:00PM GO AHEAD, SIR.
7:55:00PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
7:55:01PM OH, NEVER MIND.
7:55:04PM >> JIM HARTNET, 2302 NORTH CENTRAL AVENUE.
7:55:08PM JUST WANT TO MAKE A COUPLE OF POINTS THAT I DIDN'T MAKE
7:55:13PM BEFORE.
7:55:13PM I'M IN THE RESIDENTIAL AREA THAT WILL BE AFFECTED BY
7:55:19PM TRAFFIC, CUT-THRU TRAFFIC ESPECIALLY, MAYBE SOME PARKING
7:55:25PM EVEN.
7:55:25PM BUT I HAVE A FEELING THAT I THINK THAT THE SCALE AND THE
7:55:34PM MASS OF THIS DENSITY IS MISPLACED.
7:55:37PM I THINK THAT MORE EFFORT SHOULD BE PUT INTO REDUCING
7:55:41PM CUT-THRU TRAFFIC AND REDUCING PARKING CONCERNS THAT ARE
7:55:47PM GOING TO HAPPEN ON ROSS AVENUE IF THIS COMES TO FRUITION.
7:55:51PM ONE OF THE SOLUTIONS THAT I HAVE PROPOSED TO THE DEVELOPER,
7:55:59PM ELLISON, AND IT WILL TAKE THE CITY'S INVOLVEMENT.
7:56:03PM F.D.O.T. ONLY ALLOW NORTH TRAFFIC ONTO FLORIDA AVENUE FROM
7:56:11PM ROSS SO THAT IT WILL HELP REDUCE CUTTING THROUGH ACROSS ROSS
7:56:15PM TO GET TO THE PARKING.
7:56:17PM WITHIN THIS PROJECT.
7:56:20PM I THINK IT'S A LITTLE MISPLACED WITH JUST THE SCALE AND
7:56:28PM LET'S ADDRESS THE REAL PROBLEM AS FAR AS PARKING ON THE
7:56:31PM STREET.
7:56:32PM IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE PARKING PERMITS, I WOULD THINK,
7:56:35PM AT SOME POINT.
7:56:37PM THAT IS A SEPARATE THING.
7:56:38PM THE LAST POINT I WANTED TO MAKE WAS ABOUT THE ARCHITECTURAL
7:56:43PM CONTEXT, HISTORICAL ASPECT MORE SO.
7:56:47PM TO ME, THE SCALE DOESN'T REALLY MATTER.
7:56:51PM IF IT'S 14 STORIES, 8 STORIES, 24 STORIES, IT'S THE
7:56:56PM INTERACTION ON THE STREET THAT MATTERS.
7:56:59PM SO IT WOULD BE MORE IMPORTANT TO ME TO BE FOCUSING ON HAVING
7:57:03PM THAT MORE OF A HISTORICAL AESTHETIC AS OPPOSED TO WORRYING
7:57:08PM ABOUT THE SIZE OF A BUILDING.
7:57:10PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
7:57:12PM YES, SIR.
7:57:13PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
7:57:17PM >> THANK YOU.
7:57:18PM JIM SWEAT.
7:57:19PM PREVIOUSLY SWORN.
7:57:20PM LIVE IN OLD SEMINOLE HEIGHTS.
7:57:22PM BEEN A MEMBER OF THAT Y FOR ALMOST 24 YEARS, ALONG WITH MY
7:57:25PM WIFE.
7:57:26PM IT SERVES A WONDERFULLY DIVERSE CROSS-SECTION OF OUR
7:57:30PM COMMUNITY AND DOES SO MUCH FOR THE CHILDREN.
7:57:34PM ABOUT 50% OF WHICH ATTEND THE PROGRAMS THERE ON SCHOLARSHIP.
7:57:39PM THE ABILITY TO DO MORE THINGS IN A LARGER BUILDING WOULD BE
7:57:44PM JUST A WONDERFUL THING FOR ALL THE CHILDREN.
7:57:46PM THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
7:57:47PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
7:57:48PM THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENT.
7:57:52PM AT THIS TIME, WE HAVE REBUTTAL.
7:57:54PM MR. HUDSON.
7:57:58PM >> GOOD EVENING, TYLER HUDSON.
7:57:59PM 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE, FOR THE RECORD.
7:58:02PM I THINK AS YOU'VE SEEN TONIGHT ACROSS THREE DIFFERENT AGENDA
7:58:06PM ITEMS THAT BALANCE IS A REALLY HARD THING TO STRIKE.
7:58:10PM IT'S VERY HARD TO STRIKE A BALANCE WITH WANTING TOD, WHAT
7:58:16PM THIS PRODUCT IS, WITH OFFERING SIDEWALKS TWICE AS WIDE AS
7:58:19PM BAYSHORE, WHICH THIS PROJECT DOES, WITH OFFERING PARKING
7:58:23PM THAT WE THINK IS SENSITIVE TO THE DEMANDS OF THE PRIVATE
7:58:26PM MARKET AND WHAT THE ZONING REQUIRES, THIS PROJECT DOES THAT,
7:58:29PM TOO.
7:58:29PM MAXIMIZING GREENSPACE TO A DEGREE THAT EXCEEDS CODE.
7:58:33PM 70-FOOT WIDE NON-VEHICULAR PASEO THAT RUNS THROUGH TO
7:58:38PM FINALLY COMPLETE THAT YELLOW BRICK ROAD OF FRANKLIN.
7:58:40PM THIS PROJECT DOES A LOT OF THINGS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL.
7:58:44PM IF YOU LEARN THE PROJECT HAS ALL THE THINGS, WHAT'S THE
7:58:47PM CATCH?
7:58:47PM THE BUILDING HAS COMPARABLE HEIGHT TO WHAT WAS APPROVED JUST
7:58:52PM ACROSS THE STREET SIX YEARS AGO.
7:58:54PM WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MIGHT LOOK DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IS
7:58:57PM THERE NOW, BUT THIS IS A PROJECT THAT IS AS AMBITIOUS AS IT
7:59:03PM IS NECESSARY BECAUSE WE KNOW WE NEED HOUSING IN THE CITY AND
7:59:06PM THERE ARE FEWER AND FEWER PLACES TO PUT IT AT THE DENSITY
7:59:09PM THAT TRANSIT LIKE THIS CAN ACCOMMODATE.
7:59:11PM THIS IS THAT SITE.
7:59:14PM HEARD A FEW THINGS ABOUT REALLY SPECIFIC CONCERNS.
7:59:16PM I DO THINK IT'S WORTH BRINGING UP SUCH AS PARKING ON ROSS
7:59:21PM AVENUE.
7:59:21PM YOU HAVE A RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT PROGRAM.
7:59:24PM TAMPA HEIGHTS ISN'T INCLUDED IN THIS PILOT AREA BUT THAT'S
7:59:27PM SOMETHING THIS COUNCIL COULD DO VERY QUICKLY.
7:59:29PM IT'S NOT SOMETHING IN OUR POWER TO DO THROUGH THE ZONING
7:59:32PM PROCESS.
7:59:33PM IT IS A POWER THIS COUNCIL HAS AND HAS USED IN OTHER
7:59:36PM NEIGHBORHOODS.
7:59:36PM MAYBE AN APPROPRIATE TIME TO LOOK AT THAT FOR TAMPA HEIGHTS.
7:59:39PM I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE ON VERSION 19 OR 93 OR 120 OF THIS
7:59:44PM PROJECT, BUT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST DRAFT.
7:59:46PM THIS IS A PROJECT THAT HAS BEEN MARRED WITH RED INK BECAUSE
7:59:52PM OF CHANGES THAT THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HAS REQUESTED.
7:59:54PM I THINK THE DAYS OF PROJECTS THAT ARE VERY AMBITIOUS AND
7:59:58PM BRING HOUSING TO PLACES WHERE THERE IS SINGLE-FAMILY
8:00:01PM NEIGHBORHOODS NEARBY, THE DAYS OF A PROJECT LIKE THAT BEING
8:00:04PM WELCOMED WITHOUT ANY DISSENT, I THINK THOSE DAYS ARE OVER.
8:00:11PM WE WISH WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT
8:00:13PM LEARNED ABOUT THIS PROJECT TO SUPPORT IT.
8:00:15PM WE DIDN'T QUITE GET THERE.
8:00:16PM THERE ARE SOME FOLKS WHO AREN'T COMFORTABLE, BUT A LOT MORE
8:00:21PM THAT ARE.
8:00:22PM REACHED OUT TO YOU THROUGH PHONE, YOUR IN-BOX.
8:00:26PM THEY WANT THIS PROJECT.
8:00:27PM A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WANT THIS PROJECT.
8:00:31PM I'LL ASK MITCHELL TO SAY A FEW WORDS IN SUMMARY.
8:00:39PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD SIR.
8:00:40PM >> MATT MITCHELL, PREVIOUSLY SWORN.
8:00:42PM THIS IS GOOD DISCOURSE, RIGHT?
8:00:45PM THIS IS A PROJECT WHERE THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE IN FAVOR OF
8:00:48PM IT.
8:00:48PM WE HAVE SOME NEIGHBORS ON ROSS THAT AREN'T SO MUCH IN FAVOR,
8:00:51PM BUT THE CONVERSATIONS HAVE BEEN IN HARMONY.
8:00:54PM HASN'T BEEN VOLATILE.
8:00:56PM HASN'T BEEN MANY EGGS THROWN.
8:00:58PM THIS IS A PROJECT THAT I THINK THE COMMUNITY SEES, EVEN THE
8:01:00PM ONES WHO OPPOSE THIS, THINK IT'S A GREAT PROJECT AND THEY
8:01:04PM HAVE SEEN HOW WE HAVE COME ALONG WITH THEM TO HELP BRING
8:01:07PM THIS TO FRUITION, MAKE THIS A PROJECT WE CAN ALL BE PROUD
8:01:10PM OF.
8:01:10PM STILL FEEL THAT WAY.
8:01:11PM LOTS OF COMPROMISE STILL TO BE HAD TO MAKE SURE THE DESIGN
8:01:14PM IS GREAT.
8:01:15PM WAYS TO HANDLE TRAFFIC ON ROSS.
8:01:17PM WAYS TO HANDLE PARKING.
8:01:19PM WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THOSE THINGS, DAY BY DAY, WEEK BY
8:01:22PM WEEK, MONTH BY MONTH AS WE GO ALONG WITH THE PROJECT.
8:01:24PM SO MANY VARIABLES, CAN'T SOLVE ALL THE PROBLEMS AT ONE TIME
8:01:27PM AND PUT IT IN A BOX AND PRESENT IT.
8:01:30PM WE HAVE PROVEN OURSELVES TO BE A GREAT PARTNER, GREAT
8:01:32PM COMMUNITY STEWARD, NOT JUST RECENTLY BUT FOR 135 YEARS.
8:01:36PM WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT.
8:01:37PM THIS PROJECT TRANSFORMS THE WAY THIS YMCA IS ABLE TO SERVE
8:01:42PM KIDS AND FAMILIES IN OUR CITY.
8:01:43PM I HOPE THAT YOU HELP SUPPORT THIS IMPORTANT INITIATIVE FOR
8:01:48PM US BECAUSE IT TRULY WILL TRANSFORM THE WAY THAT WE ENGAGE
8:01:51PM THOSE WHO NEED US MOST IN THE CITY, WHETHER IT'S FOOD
8:01:55PM DESERTS, DROWNING PREVENTION, READING COMPREHENSION, JOB
8:01:59PM INTERVENTION, ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF, DIABETES
8:02:04PM PREVENTION, CHRONIC DISEASE.
8:02:07PM CANCER RECOVERY.
8:02:08PM ALL THE THINGS GOING ON AT YMCA AND THESE TYPE OF PROJECTS
8:02:11PM TO HELP FUND THOSE IN NEW AND UNIQUE WAYS WE HAVE NEVER SEEN
8:02:15PM IN THE CITY BEFORE.
8:02:15PM I HOPE YOU SEE THE BIG PICTURE HERE.
8:02:17PM I HOPE YOU APPRECIATE THE WORK PUT INTO THE PROJECT.
8:02:20PM I AGAIN REQUEST YOUR SUPPORT.
8:02:22PM I APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION.
8:02:23PM THANK YOU.
8:02:24PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
8:02:24PM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
8:02:25PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I HAVE A FEW THINGS, QUESTIONS, FOR YOU,
8:02:32PM MR. HUDSON OR ANYBODY ELSE ON YOUR TEAM.
8:02:34PM ONE OF THE PERSONS FROM PUBLIC COMMENT TALKED ABOUT --
8:02:40PM TALKED ABOUT FIRE AND FIRE RESPONSES.
8:02:43PM ONE OF THE THINGS I LEARNED, I DON'T WANT TO TESTIFY.
8:02:46PM FIRE SUPPRESSION IN LARGER BUILDINGS.
8:02:51PM TALK ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT YOU'RE BUILDING
8:02:53PM RESPONSE IN FIRE SUPPRESSION, ARCHITECTS, ANYBODY ELSE ON
8:02:57PM YOUR TEAM?
8:02:58PM >> I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT TALK ABOUT FIRE SUPPRESSION.
8:03:01PM [ LAUGHTER ]
8:03:04PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU TAKE A BIG LONG HOSE AND DRAG IT UP
8:03:07PM THE STAIRS.
8:03:08PM >> SOL FLEISCHMAN.
8:03:10PM CODE REQUIRES THIS TO PROVIDE FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM, FIRE
8:03:14PM ALARM SYSTEMS THROUGH THE BUILDING.
8:03:16PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HIGH-RISE AND LOWER
8:03:20PM BUILDING MAY NOT REQUIRE OR IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
8:03:24PM WHAT YOU'D HAVE TO PROVIDE IN A HIGH-RISE VERSUS A LOW-RISE
8:03:28PM BUILDING AS FAR AS FIRE?
8:03:29PM >> NO.
8:03:29PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: NO.
8:03:30PM OKAY.
8:03:33PM >> YOU HAVE TO PROTECT THE ELEVATOR CORE, AND IF YOU HAVE AN
8:03:37PM ATRIUM, YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT WITH SMOKE EVAC.
8:03:43PM BASICALLY THEY ARE THE SAME.
8:03:46PM FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM AND FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS.
8:03:49PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I SEE A SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT CREEPING UP
8:03:52PM FROM BEHIND.
8:03:54PM >> I'M NO EXPERT BUT DEALT WITH MANY OF THESE.
8:03:57PM >> I'M NO SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT BUT I CAN TELL YOU IT IS NOT
8:04:02PM RELEVANT TO THIS DISCUSSION.
8:04:03PM WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BUILDING CODE ISSUES.
8:04:05PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WAS CURIOUS BECAUSE IT CAME UP IN PUBLIC
8:04:08PM COMMENT.
8:04:08PM I WILL RESCIND MY QUESTION.
8:04:10PM A LOT OF THE OTHER DISCUSSION TALKING ABOUT DENSITY.
8:04:15PM WHERE YOU'RE LOSING A LOT OF DENSITY IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE
8:04:17PM HISTORICAL PRESERVATION BECAUSE YOU ARE MAINTAINING THE
8:04:20PM STANDARD OIL BUILDING SO YOU'RE NOT BUILDING UP THERE,
8:04:22PM RIGHT?
8:04:23PM OTHERWISE YOU'D BE ABLE TO BUILD MORE OR SQUAT OUT A LOT
8:04:27PM MORE.
8:04:29PM >> THAT'S RIGHT.
8:04:29PM GOT -- SQUEEZE ONE SIDE OF THE BALLOON TOO HARD, KEEPING THE
8:04:35PM BUILDING LOWER WITH THE STANDARD OIL BUILDING.
8:04:37PM IT IS THE ENTIRE CORRIDOR OF OUR BLOCK.
8:04:39PM 70-FOOT WIDE PASEO WHICH WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT BUT THAT
8:04:44PM ALSO --
8:04:44PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I LOVE PASEO.
8:04:46PM KEEP SAYING THAT.
8:04:48PM >> GASWORX STARTED THAT.
8:04:49PM IT IS A THING I GUESS.
8:04:51PM WE ARE NOT TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE LAND THAT IS PART OF
8:04:54PM THIS ASSEMBLAGE AND THOSE ARE VERY FOR INTENTIONAL REASONS.
8:04:58PM ONE, PRESERVE THE HISTORIC BUILDING THAT'S THERE.
8:05:00PM TWO, TO FOCUS ON THE PEDESTRIAN GROUND PLAN.
8:05:04PM WHEN YOU FOCUS ON ALL OF THAT, THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES OF
8:05:07PM THAT, THAT BUILDINGS CAN GET SKINNIER, BUT THAT'S TO PROVIDE
8:05:10PM THE GREENSPACE THAT'S DESIRED.
8:05:11PM TO PROVIDE THE DOUBLE BAYSHORE WIDTH SIDEWALKS.
8:05:14PM THAT'S BEEN THE FOCUS AND WE CAN'T USE ALL THE LAND BECAUSE
8:05:17PM WE'RE PUTTING TREES ON IT.
8:05:19PM CAN'T PUT BUILDINGS ON TOP OF THAT.
8:05:21PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SEGUE TO MY NEXT THING, LANDSCAPE PLAN
8:05:24PM BECAUSE IT IS A PD, NOT REQUIRED A LANDSCAPE PLAN.
8:05:29PM WOULD THE DEVELOPER AGREE TO SUBMIT A LANDSCAPE PLAN WITH
8:05:31PM THIS PROJECT?
8:05:32PM >> YES.
8:05:33PM AT THE RISK OF ALIENATING CLIENTS, SHOULD HAVE LANDSCAPING
8:05:36PM PLANS, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE BRING THEM TO YOU.
8:05:38PM I'LL ASK RICKY TO SHED LIGHT ON WHAT THAT INCLUDES.
8:05:44PM IF THAT IS A CONDITION, I BELIEVE WE WOULD BE OKAY WITH
8:05:47PM THAT.
8:05:48PM LET ME LET RICKY WHO IS THE EXPERT TALK ABOUT THAT.
8:05:51PM >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
8:05:52PM RICKY PETERIKA.
8:05:54PM I'VE BEEN SWORN.
8:05:55PM THERE IS A LANDSCAPE PLAN THAT'S PART OF MY SUBMITTAL
8:05:58PM PACKET.
8:05:59PM IT CURRENTLY PROPOSES 40 TYPE ONE TREES, OAKS, ESSENTIALLY,
8:06:05PM TEN TYPE TWO, PINES OR CYPRESS TREES, 37 TYPE THREE, CRAPE
8:06:10PM MYRTLES, AND 25 PALMS AND STAFF HAS REQUESTED SOME
8:06:15PM CLARIFICATION ON THE REVISION SHEET.
8:06:16PM THAT NUMBER MAY CHANGE A LITTLE BIT.
8:06:18PM BUT THOSE NUMBERS ARE BINDING, IF THE DESIGN IS --
8:06:23PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IT WAS A QUESTION IN PUBLIC COMMENT.
8:06:26PM WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S CLARIFIED THAT'S PART OF THE PLAN.
8:06:28PM LAST THING, THIS IS PROBABLY FOR STAFF.
8:06:30PM I KEEP HEARING ABOUT CUT-THRU TRAFFIC ON ROSS.
8:06:33PM IS THERE A TRANSPORTATION PERSON HERE TO TALK ABOUT --
8:06:39PM JONATHAN, YOU'RE HIDING BEHIND MARTY'S DESK.
8:06:42PM ISN'T ROSS A KIND OF DEAD END INTO THE INTERSTATE?
8:06:47PM IS THERE A CUT-THRU?
8:06:49PM IS THAT PROBLEMATIC?
8:06:51PM HAVE YOU GUYS DETERMINED -- ARE THERE ANY PROBLEMS WITH
8:06:55PM TRANSPORTATION ON THIS FOR ROSS?
8:06:56PM >> JONATHAN SCOTT, MOBILITY DEPARTMENT.
8:06:58PM I DON'T FORESEE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THAT AT THE MOMENT.
8:07:01PM BUT WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT.
8:07:03PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ROSS DOES DEAD END INTO THE INTERSTATE,
8:07:06PM RIGHT AND DEAD ENDS ON THE OTHER SIDE TAMPA STREET.
8:07:09PM >> I BELIEVE YOU ARE CORRECT.
8:07:10PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IT'S NOT MY NEIGHBORHOOD BUT I LIVED HERE
8:07:13PM FOR 40 YEARS.
8:07:14PM I THOUGHT SO.
8:07:15PM I WAS JUST TRYING TO RECALL OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
8:07:18PM VERY GOOD.
8:07:18PM I THINK THAT'S ALL I HAD.
8:07:20PM THANK YOU.
8:07:20PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHO IS NEXT?
8:07:22PM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
8:07:23PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
8:07:25PM WHEN YOU LOOK AT A PROJECT LIKE THIS, I EARLIER TALKED ABOUT
8:07:29PM THE NEED FOR DENSITY, HAVE TRANSPORTATION.
8:07:32PM BEFORE YOU HAVE -- IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY TRANSPORTATION, IT
8:07:36PM MAY NEVER GET THERE.
8:07:39PM HOWEVER, IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE DENSITY, TRANSPORTATION AIN'T
8:07:43PM COMING.
8:07:43PM SO YOU'RE CAUGHT IN A QUAGMIRE WHICH WAY YOU GO.
8:07:50PM YOU LOOK AT THE NEEDS OF THIS CITY OR ANY OTHER CITY THAT'S
8:07:56PM GROWING QUICKLY, LAKELAND WILL SOON BE IN THE SAME BOOTS
8:08:01PM TAMPA IS IN BECAUSE THEY ARE GROWING JUST AS FAST OR FASTER
8:08:04PM THAN WE ARE.
8:08:05PM THANK GOD THEY ARE.
8:08:06PM WHEN YOU LOOK AT 15 FEET SIDEWALKS, I REMEMBER A COUPLE OF
8:08:13PM WEEKS AGO WHEN I WAS A YOUNG GUY IN YBOR CITY THAT THE
8:08:18PM SIDEWALKS MAIN STREET YBOR CITY ON 7th AVENUE WERE 12 TO
8:08:22PM 15 FEET WIDE.
8:08:23PM YOU HAD A LOT OF WALKABILITY.
8:08:27PM AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS THAT NOT BECAUSE IT WAS PLANNED
8:08:30PM THAT WAY, IS THAT THE PEOPLE LIVED AND WORKED IN THE SAME
8:08:37PM LOCATION.
8:08:37PM THEY COULD LIVE THERE AND WALK ANYWHERE THEY WANTED AND WHEN
8:08:41PM YOU TALK ABOUT BIG GROCERY STORES, THERE WEREN'T ANY, NONE.
8:08:46PM THERE WAS ONE CALLED PARDO'S ON 8th AND 22nd.
8:08:51PM AND THAT LATER BECAME A KASH N' KARRY WAY BACK WHEN IT WAS
8:09:00PM CALLED BIG BARN.
8:09:02PM ALONG THOSE SAME AVENUES, EVERY BIG NEIGHBORHOOD HAD A
8:09:05PM GROCERY STORE.
8:09:06PM I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY ANYWHERE.
8:09:08PM BECAME EXTINCT LIKE THE DINOSAUR.
8:09:12PM DIED OFF BECAUSE THE BIG GROCERY STORES CAME ALONG AND
8:09:16PM BECAME FASHIONABLE TO WALK IN AIR CONDITIONING.
8:09:20PM TWO POUNDS OF THIS, ONE POUND OF THIS AND THEY HAND IT TO
8:09:23PM YOU.
8:09:23PM BUT LOOKING AROUND AND UNDERSTANDING THE SCOPE OF THE BIGGER
8:09:28PM PROJECT AND I KNOW I TALKED ABOUT PARKING AND I KNOW THAT'S
8:09:31PM STILL THERE.
8:09:34PM I GO BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD.
8:09:38PM PEOPLE WALKED EVERYWHERE.
8:09:41PM YOU KNOW WHY?
8:09:41PM GUY IN THE YELLOW SHIRT DOESN'T LIKE WHAT I'M SAYING.
8:09:50PM THAT'S OKAY.
8:09:51PM I CAN TAKE THAT.
8:09:52PM EVERYTHING THAT COMES AROUND GOES BACK AROUND.
8:09:55PM AND IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
8:09:59PM BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT ON THE SCOPE OF VALUE THAT WE NEED
8:10:04PM TO DO TO CHANGE THE VALUE OF WHAT WE HAVE IN THE CITY
8:10:07PM BECAUSE YOU HAVE BUMPER-TO-BUMPER TRAFFIC EVERYWHERE.
8:10:12PM IF WE DON'T GET TRANSPORTATION IN THE CITY SOONER, IT'S
8:10:15PM GOING TO BE A REAL BIG DEFICIT TO THIS CITY AND TO ANYONE
8:10:19PM DRIVING THE STREETS.
8:10:20PM THE COST OF THE ENVIRONMENT HAS NEVER BEEN BROUGHT UP.
8:10:24PM THERE IS A BIG COST WHEN YOU HAVE ALL THE FUMES COMING OUT
8:10:28PM OF THE TAIL PIPES OF ALL THESE CARS IN AMERICA.
8:10:32PM SO I'M GOING TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT BASED ON THE NEEDS AND
8:10:35PM NECESSITY GREATER THAN MY CONCERN FOR PARKING.
8:10:38PM AND YOU HAVE AN EXCELLENT BUILDER AND I'VE KNOWN THE
8:10:43PM FLEISCHMAN FAMILY BEFORE I WAS BALD, BEFORE THEY WERE BALD.
8:10:48PM [ LAUGHTER ]
8:10:48PM AND THE FATHER WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST GUYS IN THE WORLD.
8:10:53PM I KNOW THAT HE DID SO MANY THINGS FOR PEOPLE ON THE TV SHOW
8:10:56PM THAT HE HAD, IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE.
8:10:59PM BUT I THINK YOU HAVE A GREAT TEAM.
8:11:01PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON.
8:11:03PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: THANK YOU, CHAIR.
8:11:05PM YOU KNOW, THE WORD AMBITIOUS WAS USED IN PART OF THE
8:11:08PM CONVERSATION REGARDING THIS PROJECT, AND THAT IS TRUE.
8:11:13PM IT IS UNDENIABLY GRAND AND BEAUTIFUL AND I KNOW IT CAN
8:11:18PM PROVIDE SOME GREAT BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY.
8:11:21PM WE'VE CHANGED THE COMP PLAN.
8:11:23PM WE VACATED PROPERTY.
8:11:25PM BUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS STOOD UP AND TALKED ABOUT
8:11:29PM COMPATIBILITY AS IT RELATES TO HEIGHT, MASS, AND SCALE.
8:11:35PM AND THE POTENTIAL NEGATIVE IMPACT WHEN IT COMES TO TRAFFIC.
8:11:38PM IS THERE A POSSIBILITY TO LOWER THE TALLEST BUILDING IN YOUR
8:11:45PM PLAN IS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT, YOU KNOW, IS COMING UP IN
8:11:48PM MY MIND, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT'S RELATIVELY, YOU KNOW, IT'S
8:11:53PM BECAUSE IT'S ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF PALM AVENUE AND THE
8:11:58PM POTENTIAL IMPACT TO THE COMMUNITY.
8:12:00PM BUT I DO LIKE IT.
8:12:02PM AND THAT SACRIFICE OF US BUILDING AT THIS LEVEL WILL ONLY BE
8:12:13PM KNOWN ONCE IT'S DONE.
8:12:15PM RIGHT NOW IN THAT COMMUNITY, IT'S HARD TO GET OUT OF THE
8:12:18PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:12:19PM WITH OUR NEW BIKE LANES AND THE TRAFFIC IS SIGNIFICANT
8:12:25PM ALREADY.
8:12:25PM IT'S NOT LIKE IT USED TO BE 10, 15 YEARS AGO.
8:12:29PM BUT IT'S ALSO DIFFICULT NOT TO SUPPORT IT.
8:12:33PM THIS ONE HAS KEPT ME UP AT NIGHT.
8:12:37PM BUT I DO LIKE THE PROJECT AND I CAN SEE MAINLY BECAUSE IT'S
8:12:41PM IN THE URBAN CORRIDOR, AND WE NEED HOUSING.
8:12:45PM ONE OF THE THINGS I APPRECIATE ABOUT IT IS ALSO THAT
8:12:51PM MICROBUSINESS SPACE THAT IS GOING TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY
8:12:58PM FOR SMALL BUSINESSES TO BE IN VERY, VERY BEAUTIFUL SPACES.
8:13:03PM WE BUILT OTHER MASS BUILDINGS SIMILAR TO -- NOT SIMILAR TO
8:13:09PM THIS BUT OF GRAND SCALE BUT IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE TAMPA.
8:13:14PM THIS PROJECT, BECAUSE IT'S UNDER THE YMCA, NEEDS TO CONTINUE
8:13:19PM TO FEEL LIKE TAMPA AND THAT'S BY ALLOWING SMALL BUSINESSES
8:13:23PM TO BE ABLE TO HAVE AFFORDABLE SPACE WITHIN THIS GRAND,
8:13:27PM BEAUTIFUL SPACE.
8:13:27PM THANK YOU, CHAIR.
8:13:32PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I WANT TO SPEAK WHEN WE'RE ACTUALLY -- IT
8:13:36PM DOESN'T SEEM LIKE WE'RE DOING QUESTIONS ANYMORE.
8:13:40PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ONE CLARIFICATION?
8:13:41PM LANDSCAPE PLAN.
8:13:42PM DO WE NEED TO STIPULATE THAT TO ENSURE THERE IS A LANDSCAPE
8:13:46PM PLAN INCLUDED IN THIS?
8:13:48PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: LaCHONE DOCK, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
8:13:50PM THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO PROVIDE THE LANDSCAPE PLAN IN
8:13:53PM THEIR FINAL SITE PLAN SUBMITTAL.
8:13:55PM IT IS ON THE RECORD THAT THEY WOULD SUBMIT IT.
8:13:58PM THEY HAD IT SUBMITTED IN THE INITIAL SUBMITTAL ALSO.
8:14:01PM ALSO, COUNCIL --
8:14:02PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SHOULD IT BE ON THE REVISION SHEET?
8:14:04PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: WE CAN ADD IT ON THE REVISION SHEET, YES.
8:14:07PM I WILL ADD IT ON THE REVISION SHEET.
8:14:09PM IN ADDITION, COUNCIL, THERE IS THE CONDITION, THE CHANGES
8:14:12PM THAT WERE LISTED REFERENCING THE HEIGHT AND LIMITING THE
8:14:16PM HEIGHT, KEEP IN MIND WE HAVE A PROCESS WHERE A SUBSTANTIAL
8:14:19PM CHANGE CAN BE REQUESTED AFTER A PD IS APPROVED.
8:14:24PM ONE THING THAT WE ASK IS THAT THE CONDITION BE PLACED ON THE
8:14:28PM SITE PLAN THAT NO HEIGHT INCREASE IS REQUESTED THROUGH THE
8:14:31PM SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE PROCESS.
8:14:32PM THE APPLICANT WOULD HAVE TO AGREE TO THAT.
8:14:35PM AND THEY CAN STATE ON THE RECORD THAT THEY AGREE TO MAKE
8:14:37PM THAT REVISION TO -- THAT MODIFICATION TO THIS REVISION
8:14:41PM SHEET.
8:14:41PM THAT LIMITS THE HEIGHT WHERE THEY STATED IT FOR THOSE
8:14:45PM BUILDINGS.
8:14:47PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: IS THAT SOMETHING YOU'RE ADDING TO THE
8:14:49PM REVISION SHEET OR ALREADY LISTED ON THE REVISION SHEET?
8:14:52PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THIS IS SOMETHING WE'RE ADDING BECAUSE WE'RE
8:14:54PM JUST SEEING THIS LIMITED HEIGHT SHOWN HERE ON THE REVISION
8:14:58PM SHEET.
8:14:59PM >> TYLER HUDSON, FOR THE RECORD.
8:15:01PM THE HEIGHT LIMITS THAT WE'RE ADDING, THOSE ARE ON THE
8:15:04PM REVISION SHEET.
8:15:05PM WE SORT OF SOCIALIZED THIS ALREADY.
8:15:06PM WHAT CHANGED SINCE I WALKED IN THE DOOR AND NOW IS THIS
8:15:09PM REQUEST, WHICH WE ARE OKAY WITH TO SAY NO ADMINISTRATIVE
8:15:13PM INCREASE IN HEIGHT CAN BE GRANTED.
8:15:15PM THE WAY WE WOULD PHRASE IT WOULD BE THAT ANY INCREASE IN
8:15:19PM HEIGHT OVER THE MAXIMUMS ALLOWED UNDER THE SITE PLAN WOULD
8:15:22PM CONSTITUTE A SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE PERIOD.
8:15:25PM AND WE CAN WORK ON THAT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
8:15:28PM WE UNDERSTAND THE INTENT AND WE'RE OKAY --
8:15:30PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU ARE STILL GOING TO BUILD TO THE HEIGHT
8:15:32PM YOU PRESENTED.
8:15:33PM >> CORRECT.
8:15:33PM JUST TO BE CLEAR BEFORE YOU CLOSE THE HEARING, YOU ARE
8:15:37PM ALLOWED THROUGH THE SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE PROCESS TO ADD TWO
8:15:40PM STORIES TO A RESIDENTIAL BUILDING 24 FEET TO A COMMERCIAL
8:15:44PM BUILDING.
8:15:46PM OUT THE DOOR THAT COULD BE A LITTLE BIT CRACKED.
8:15:49PM WE'RE CLOSING IT, LOCKING IT, ANY CHANGES IN HEIGHT WOULD
8:15:53PM CONSTITUTE A SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE AND WE'RE OKAY WITH THAT
8:15:55PM CHANGE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
8:15:57PM I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE CONCERN WAS.
8:16:01PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
8:16:02PM THAT'S ALL THE CHANGES THAT I HAVE TO PUT ON THE RECORD.
8:16:05PM I'LL SUBMIT THE REVISED REVISION SHEET.
8:16:07PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
8:16:09PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I WAS GOING TO DO A MOTION TO CLOSE SO WE
8:16:11PM COULD TALK ABOUT IT.
8:16:12PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM
8:16:14PM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
8:16:14PM SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
8:16:16PM ALL IN FAVOR?
8:16:16PM AYE.
8:16:17PM ANY OPPOSED?
8:16:24PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THIS, I AGREE WITH COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON.
8:16:27PM THIS ONE KIND OF KEPT ME UP I HAVE TO SAY.
8:16:30PM IT'S A LOT OF HEIGHT.
8:16:32PM IT'S A LOT OF F.A.R.
8:16:33PM I MEAN, IT IS ONE OF THE MOST DENSE PROJECTS THAT WE ARE
8:16:39PM BRINGING TO THE CITY OF TAMPA.
8:16:45PM I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY 10% AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
8:16:49PM I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THE NEIGHBORS' CONCERN ABOUT
8:16:54PM TRAFFIC.
8:16:54PM WE SEE IT WITH OTHER DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE COMING AROUND IN
8:16:57PM TERMS OF NOT THE PARKING ITSELF BUT THE TRAFFIC.
8:17:03PM AND THE THING IS, WE HAVE SUCH A PROBLEM THROUGHOUT THE CITY
8:17:06PM THAT WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A PARKING STUDY TO FIGURE OUT
8:17:08PM HOW TO SOLVE THIS.
8:17:09PM SO WE'RE STARTING THAT STEP AND WE WILL BE WORKING WITH
8:17:14PM FOLKS TO MAKE SURE TRAFFIC CALMING HAPPENS.
8:17:18PM I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLE OR I WAS.
8:17:22PM THE ARCHITECT SEEMS TO HAVE A REALLY GREAT GRASP ON THE
8:17:27PM NEIGHBORHOOD AND RESPECTING THE HISTORIC DESIGNATION.
8:17:30PM SO I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT THAT WILL
8:17:33PM BECOME.
8:17:33PM MR. PETERIKA TALKED ABOUT TREES.
8:17:39PM I REALLY LIKE THE FACT THAT THE FEWEST AMOUNT OF TREES ARE
8:17:42PM PALM TREES BECAUSE PALM TREES DON'T PROVIDE SHADE.
8:17:44PM I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE FEWER PALM TREES IN ANY DEVELOPMENT.
8:17:47PM I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT THERE AREN'T THAT MANY.
8:17:49PM THE ONLY OTHER THING I DIDN'T BRING UP BEFORE AND I JUST
8:17:53PM HAVE TO SAY IT BECAUSE IT IS WHO I AM, I STILL THINK THERE'S
8:17:58PM TOO MUCH PARKING IN THIS AND I DIDN'T SEE -- I WANTED TO PUT
8:18:01PM ON THE RADAR ABOUT BIKE PARKING.
8:18:04PM BIKE PARKING IS GOING TO BE A HUGE THING AS WE GO FORWARD.
8:18:08PM I EXPECT TO SEE MORE.
8:18:10PM I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE FOCUS ON BIKE PARKING, E-BIKE
8:18:14PM PARKING, WHERE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE.
8:18:18PM I'M JUST SAYING THAT -- YEAH, INTERIOR BIKE STORAGE.
8:18:25PM YEAH.
8:18:26PM I'VE SEEN THAT.
8:18:27PM I JUST WANTED TO SAY JUST IN GENERAL.
8:18:31PM BUT OVERALL, I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A BIG LEAP.
8:18:35PM THIS IS A LEAP OF FAITH, AND THIS IS A LEAP IN THE RIGHT
8:18:42PM AREA TO CATALYST CHANGE IN THE CITY.
8:18:46PM WE ARE RIGHT A BLOCK AWAY FROM RMU-100, AND I DO LIKE THE
8:18:53PM FACT THAT THIS IS BETWEEN TAMPA AND FLORIDA.
8:18:55PM IF THIS WAS ON EITHER SIDE, I WOULD NOT BE OKAY WITH IT.
8:19:04PM SO I WILL BE SUPPORTING THE PROJECT.
8:19:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
8:19:08PM YES, MA'AM.
8:19:08PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: ONE LAST THING, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
8:19:15PM >> SHOULD WE OPEN IT?
8:19:19PM >>LYNN HURTAK: MOTION TO OPEN.
8:19:20PM >> SECOND.
8:19:20PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
8:19:22PM CLENDENIN.
8:19:23PM ALL IN FAVOR, AYE.
8:19:24PM THE HEARING IS REOPENED.
8:19:25PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: YES, THANK YOU.
8:19:26PM I HEAR CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLE.
8:19:30PM IF THERE IS A DESIRE, THE APPLICANT CAN ADD THAT AS A
8:19:35PM COMMITMENT ON THE SITE PLAN ON THE FINAL SITE PLAN THAT'S
8:19:38PM SUBMITTED.
8:19:39PM THAT COULD BE A CHANGE MADE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING
8:19:43PM IF THE APPLICANT WANTS TO COMMIT TO THAT ARCHITECTURAL
8:19:46PM STYLE.
8:19:46PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: HAVE THE APPLICANT ADDRESS IT.
8:19:50PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.
8:19:55PM >> I WOULD REITERATE THE BUILDING, GOOD NUMBER ARE IN THE
8:20:00PM HISTORIC DISTRICT.
8:20:01PM HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMISSION
8:20:04PM PROCESS.
8:20:05PM PUT THAT ON THE RECORD.
8:20:09PM THANKS.
8:20:10PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCIL
8:20:12PM MEMBER CLENDENIN.
8:20:13PM SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
8:20:15PM A COUPLE OF COMMENTS BEFORE I GO TO COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON.
8:20:17PM ALL IN FAVOR?
8:20:18PM AYE.
8:20:18PM THE HEARING IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED.
8:20:20PM I'LL JUST SAY THAT THERE'S NO QUESTION ON THE INTEGRITY OF
8:20:26PM THE YMCA.
8:20:27PM MY WHOLE LIFE IT'S NOTHING BUT A STELLAR REPUTATION.
8:20:31PM WHAT THE YMCA STANDS FOR AND I APPRECIATE THE PEOPLE THAT
8:20:34PM CAME OUT HERE THAT SEE THE BENEFIT IN THAT.
8:20:38PM I KNOW THE OLD BUILDING WAS MENTIONED RIGHT UP THE STREET
8:20:40PM HERE AND IT BURNED DOWN BECAUSE SOME FOLKS WENT IN IN THE
8:20:44PM EARLY '90s WITH MAKESHIFT TORCHES AND IT CAUGHT FIRE.
8:20:48PM I REMEMBER WHEN THIS BUILDING WAS BUILT WHEN I WAS A KID
8:20:51PM GROWING UP, I DON'T KNOW, 30 SOMETHING YEARS AGO OR MORE.
8:20:55PM TO REPLACE THAT AND HERE WE ARE, IT'S CHANGING AGAIN SHOULD
8:20:59PM THIS GET APPROVED.
8:21:00PM I HAD MADE COMMENTS ABOUT THE ARCHITECT AND THE DESIGN.
8:21:05PM IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
8:21:06PM IT'S TRANSFORMATIVE.
8:21:08PM THIS PARTICULAR CORRIDOR, FLORIDA AVENUE, TAMPA STREET,
8:21:12PM THESE BLOCKS, THEY HAVE BEEN BUTCHERED.
8:21:15PM THEY WERE BUTCHERED DECADES AGO.
8:21:16PM I'VE LOOKED BECAUSE I LOVE TAMPA HISTORY.
8:21:18PM I LOOKED FOR PHOTOS OF WHAT THIS AREA USED TO LOOK LIKE AND
8:21:22PM IT IS VERY HARD TO FIND THEM.
8:21:23PM MAYBE I NEED TO SCOUR THE BURGERT BROTHERS ARCHIVE A LITTLE
8:21:28PM MORE, BUT IT'S BEEN PARKING LOTS AND EMPTY PARCELS.
8:21:31PM AS TAMPA HEIGHTS IS CHANGING AND WE SEE ARMATURE WORKS
8:21:34PM WASN'T WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TODAY TEN YEARS AGO.
8:21:37PM IT WASN'T WHAT IT WAS -- IT'S NOT TODAY WHAT IT WAS WHEN I
8:21:40PM WAS A KID DRIVING THROUGH THERE WITH MY GRANDMOTHER.
8:21:42PM I MADE COMMENT OF THIS NOT TOO LONG AGO.
8:21:47PM TAMPA HEIGHTS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL NEIGHBORHOOD IN TAMPA.
8:21:49PM WE SAW SOME PHOTOS OF SOME OF THE HOMES IN THE AREA.
8:21:53PM THEY ARE SPECTACULAR.
8:21:54PM SPECTACULAR IN MY OPINION.
8:21:56PM THIS IS TAMPA'S FIRST SUBURB, FIRST NEIGHBORHOOD IN MANY
8:22:01PM WAYS FROM THE LATE 1800s.
8:22:02PM THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL PLACE.
8:22:04PM I THINK THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL PROJECT.
8:22:06PM AGAIN, IN LOOKING AT THESE RENDERINGS, IT ACCOMMODATES --
8:22:12PM WELL, I DON'T WANT TO SAY ACCOMMODATES, IT ENCOMPASSES
8:22:16PM HISTORIC PRESERVATION.
8:22:17PM AGAIN, THIS AREA LOST A LOT.
8:22:19PM BUT THAT STANDARD OIL BUILDING IS PRESERVED.
8:22:23PM COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN MENTIONED THE WORD PASEO.
8:22:26PM IT'S A WALKABLE COMMUNITY.
8:22:28PM I THINK I SAW A WALKABILITY SCORE OF ABOUT 97.
8:22:33PM IT'S TRULY LIVE, WORK, PLAY.
8:22:35PM I THINK THAT IS OVERUSED, LIVE, WORK, PLAY, BUT IT IS A
8:22:39PM COMMUNITY.
8:22:39PM IT'S AN ENHANCEMENT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:22:42PM THIS IS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE TO BUILD SHOULD THIS BE
8:22:45PM APPROVED.
8:22:46PM BUT IT'S EXCITING.
8:22:47PM I THINK IT FITS IN, AGAIN, WITH THE INCREASE IN THE DENSITY.
8:22:53PM IT MATCHES WHAT IS ON THE WEST SIDE THERE WITH ARMATURE
8:22:56PM WORKS.
8:22:56PM THIS IS JUST ANOTHER JEWEL IN WHAT IS TAMPA.
8:23:03PM I'M VERY EXCITED TO SUPPORT THIS.
8:23:05PM WITH THAT, I'LL GO TO COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON TO READ ITEM
8:23:10PM NUMBER 7.

8:43:07PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
8:43:08PM MS. DOCK, GO AHEAD.
8:43:11PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: LaCHONE DOCK, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
8:43:14PM [INAUDIBLE]
8:43:24PM -- REQUEST TO REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM RESIDENTIAL
8:43:26PM MULTIFAMILY RM-16 TO PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AND IT IS FOR
8:43:29PM SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI DETACHED USE ON THE SITE.
8:43:34PM I'LL TURN IT OVER TO DAN TO GIVE HIS REPORT.
8:43:44PM >> DANNY COLLINS WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
8:43:47PM I'VE BEEN SWORN IN.
8:43:48PM THE NEXT CASE IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT,
8:43:50PM SPECIFICALLY IN WEST TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE.
8:43:52PM THE SITE IS WITHIN THE COASTAL PLANNING AREA AND WITHIN
8:43:56PM EVACUATION ZONE D.
8:43:57PM THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE.
8:43:59PM IT'S AT THE INTERSECTION OF WEST CYPRESS STREET AND NORTH
8:44:02PM ARMENIA AVENUE.
8:44:03PM THERE ARE SOME SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES ALONG WEST
8:44:08PM CYPRESS STREET ADJACENT TO THE SITE.
8:44:10PM THIS HERE IS A MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT, AND THEN THIS IS
8:44:14PM VILA BROTHERS PARK JUST A COUPLE BLOCKS SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT
8:44:20PM SITE.
8:44:20PM PREDOMINANTLY NONRESIDENTIAL USES AND SOME RESIDENTIAL USES
8:44:25PM ALONG ARMENIA AVENUE.
8:44:27PM HERE IS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
8:44:32PM THE SITE IS RECOGNIZED UNDER RESIDENTIAL 20.
8:44:34PM FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY, WHICH ANTICIPATES DEVELOPMENT UP
8:44:38PM TO 20 DWELLING UNITS AN ACRE.
8:44:41PM THE CATEGORY TO THE NORTH, SOUTH, AND WEST OF THE SITE,
8:44:44PM DIRECTLY TO THE WEST IS COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35.
8:44:47PM THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FOUND
8:44:50PM IT COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA.
8:44:52PM THIS PORTION OF WEST CYPRESS STREET BETWEEN NORTH ARMENIA
8:44:56PM AVENUE AND NORTH TAMPANIA AVENUE.
8:44:58PM SUBJECT SITE EXISTING DENSITY OF 13.29 UNITS PER ACRE WHICH
8:45:02PM IS BELOW THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL 20
8:45:07PM FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
8:45:08PM THIS REQUEST WILL PROVIDE COMPATIBLE INFILL DEVELOPMENT ON A
8:45:11PM SITE PRESENTLY UNDERUTILIZED WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
8:45:15PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
8:45:16PM THE REQUEST SUPPORTS POLICIES IN THE PLAN RELATED TO HOUSING
8:45:19PM THE CITY'S POPULATION.
8:45:22PM ENCOURAGE NEW HOUSING ON VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED LAND TO
8:45:25PM ENSURE ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF HOUSING IS AVAILABLE TO MEET THE
8:45:27PM NEEDS OF TAMPA'S PRESENT AND FUTURE POPULATIONS.
8:45:29PM ADDITIONALLY, THE COMP PLAN SPEAKS TO DIRECT THE GREATEST
8:45:33PM SHARE OF GROWTH TO CITY'S URBAN VILLAGES SUCH AS THE WEST
8:45:36PM TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE.
8:45:37PM THIS WOULD ADD ADDITIONAL HOUSING WITHIN THE WEST TAMPA
8:45:40PM URBAN VILLAGE CONSISTENT WITH THAT POLICY.
8:45:42PM FINALLY, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ENCOURAGES SINGLE-FAMILY
8:45:44PM ATTACHED RESIDENTIAL USES TO BE DESIGNED TO INCLUDE
8:45:47PM ORIENTATION OF THE FRONT DOOR TO A NEIGHBORHOOD SIDEWALK AND
8:45:50PM STREET.
8:45:51PM FRONT ENTRANCES ARE ORIENTED TO AND CONNECT TO THE SIDEWALK
8:45:53PM ON NORTH ARMENIA AVENUE MEETING THE INTENT OF THIS POLICY
8:45:57PM DIRECTION.
8:45:58PM I DO WANT TO POINT OUT AS WELL THAT NORTH ARMENIA AVENUE AND
8:46:01PM WEST CYPRESS STREET ARE BOTH TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDORS.
8:46:05PM THOSE ARE CORRIDORS THAT ARE SUITABLE FOR INTENSIFICATION
8:46:08PM REDEVELOPMENT.
8:46:09PM BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
8:46:12PM FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
8:46:15PM AND POLICIES OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
8:46:18PM THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
8:46:20PM I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
8:46:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
8:46:22PM NO.
8:46:23PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
8:46:23PM YES, MA'AM.
8:46:25PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: LaCHONE DOCK, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
8:46:28PM THIS PD REQUEST WOULD ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF TWO UNITS
8:46:32PM ON-SITE.
8:46:33PM ONE OF THE STRUCTURES CURRENTLY EXISTS ON-SITE.
8:46:36PM I'LL SHOW YOU THE AERIAL.
8:46:41PM SO THIS IS THE PROPERTY THAT'S IDENTIFIED HERE IN RED.
8:46:44PM THIS IS WEST CYPRESS STREET.
8:46:46PM THIS IS NORTH ARMENIA, AND THIS SITE IS LOCATED ON THE
8:46:49PM CORNER.
8:46:50PM SO THE SITE CURRENTLY IS DEVELOPED WITH A STRUCTURE THAT'S
8:46:54PM ON THE SITE, SO THE PROPOSAL IS TO ADD ANOTHER UNIT WHICH
8:46:59PM WILL BE LOCATED ON THE SOUTH.
8:47:00PM I'LL SHOW YOU ON THE SITE PLAN MOMENTARILY.
8:47:03PM AND THAT WOULD CREATE THE TWO UNITS ON-SITE AND IT WOULD BE
8:47:07PM A SEMI DETACHED USE.
8:47:09PM SO THE PROPERTY ITSELF CONTAINS 4,954 SQUARE FEET.
8:47:14PM THE SETBACKS PROPOSED ARE TO THE NORTH 11 FEET, TO THE SOUTH
8:47:17PM 5 FEET, TO THE WEST 5 FEET, AND TO THE EAST 1 FEET.
8:47:22PM THERE IS -- THERE ARE FOUR PARKING SPACES REQUIRED AND FOUR
8:47:27PM PARKING SPACES ARE PROVIDED.
8:47:28PM THIS SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY IN
8:47:32PM COMPLIANCE WITH THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT
8:47:34PM DESIGN STANDARDS IS REQUIRED AT THE TIME OF PERMITTING.
8:47:39PM THERE ARE TWO WAIVERS REQUESTED.
8:47:41PM I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT AND I'LL JUST SHOW YOU WHEN I SHOW
8:47:45PM THE SITE PLAN.
8:47:46PM I'LL GO AHEAD AND PUT THAT UP.
8:47:48PM THE OVERLAY ENCOURAGES THE ACCESS TO THE SITE FROM THE
8:47:53PM ALLEY, SO THAT IS WHAT IS PROPOSED.
8:47:57PM BUT THERE IS A SLIGHT CONFLICT IN THE CODE IN THAT IF YOU
8:48:01PM CREATE THAT ALLEY ACCESS, THEN IT DOESN'T MEET THE STANDARDS
8:48:05PM FOR MOBILITY FOR THE WIDTH OF THE ALLEY, WHICH GENERATES A
8:48:10PM WAIVER.
8:48:11PM SO IN THIS CASE, JUST TO SHOW YOU, LET ME ZOOM IN A LITTLE
8:48:14PM BIT ON THIS SITE.
8:48:16PM THIS IS CYPRESS STREET.
8:48:20PM ON THE SITE PLAN THIS IS ARMENIA.
8:48:22PM SO THE BOUNDARY OF THE SITE IS THIS DOTTED LINE.
8:48:24PM SO THIS IS THE EXISTING STRUCTURE WHICH IS THE HATCHED AREA.
8:48:28PM THE FRONT DOOR ORIENTATION IS TO CYPRESS AND THIS PROPOSES
8:48:33PM -- THIS IS THE ADDITION, WHICH IS THE BOLD LINE AND THE
8:48:37PM FRONT DOOR ORIENTATION IS ON ARMENIA.
8:48:40PM ACCESS TO THE SITE, VEHICULAR ACCESS IS FROM THE ALLEY WHICH
8:48:43PM IS ON THE SOUTH.
8:48:45PM THERE ARE TWO SURFACE PARKING SPACES AND THERE IS A
8:48:50PM THREE-CAR GARAGE WHICH WOULD BE DEVELOPED ON THE SOUTHERN
8:48:54PM SIDE.
8:48:55PM WHEN LOOKING AT THE SITE AND SURROUNDING THE SITE, I JUST
8:48:59PM WANT TO GO BACK FOR A SECOND TO THE AERIAL AND TALK ABOUT
8:49:03PM THE ZONING.
8:49:03PM YOU CAN SEE YOUR COMMERCIAL GENERAL ZONING.
8:49:10PM THAT'S LOCATED HERE TO THE EAST ALONG ARMENIA AND CYPRESS.
8:49:14PM WHEN YOU GO FURTHER NORTH, YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF PD ZONINGS
8:49:18PM WITH RESIDENTIAL AND A MIXTURE OF RESIDENTIAL OFFICE USES.
8:49:21PM FURTHER WEST OF THE SITE, YOU HAVE YOUR RESIDENTIAL
8:49:24PM MULTIFAMILY, YOUR RM-16.
8:49:27PM WHEN YOU HEAD FURTHER SOUTH, YOU HAVE PD TO THE SOUTH
8:49:30PM IMMEDIATELY.
8:49:31PM AND I HAVE PICTURES TO SHOW YOU.
8:49:33PM IT IS RESIDENTIAL OFFICE.
8:49:34PM AND THEN YOU HAVE OTHER RESIDENTIAL OFFICE USES APPROVED
8:49:37PM FURTHER SOUTH.
8:49:38PM THEN YOU HAVE YOUR MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT THAT'S HERE, THE
8:49:41PM PD, WHICH IS TO THE SOUTHEAST.
8:49:44PM I'LL SHOW YOU MOMENTARILY.
8:49:45PM JUST IN LOOKING AT THE BLOCK FACE IN THE DEVELOPMENT
8:49:48PM PATTERN, THE MAJORITY OF THIS BLOCK FACE IS DEVELOPED WITH
8:49:52PM SINGLE-FAMILY TWO-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT.
8:49:56PM IT'S EITHER SEMI DETACHED OR TWO-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT.
8:49:59PM THERE ARE TWO SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES WITHIN THAT
8:50:03PM BLOCK.
8:50:03PM BUT IT IS DEVELOPED CONSISTENT WITH THE MULTIFAMILY ZONING
8:50:07PM THAT EXISTS ON THE SITE.
8:50:09PM THE FUTURE LAND USE OF THE SITE IS R-20.
8:50:13PM IT DOES ALLOW FOR DEVELOPMENT OF UP TO 18 DWELLING UNITS BY
8:50:18PM RIGHT.
8:50:18PM GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE SITE, A MAXIMUM OF TWO UNITS CAN BE
8:50:22PM DEVELOPED ON-SITE AND TWO UNITS ARE PROPOSED.
8:50:24PM HERE ARE THE ELEVATIONS SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT.
8:50:30PM THIS IS THE EAST ELEVATION.
8:50:31PM THIS IS THE WEST.
8:50:35PM AND THEN THIS IS THE SOUTH FOR THE GARAGE ENTRY AND THEN
8:50:45PM THAT IS THE NORTH ELEVATION.
8:50:46PM HERE ARE PHOTOS OF THE SITE.
8:50:54PM THIS IS THE SITE, THIS IS THE NORTH END OF THE SITE.
8:50:57PM SO THIS IS THE PORTION THAT FRONTS CYPRESS.
8:51:05PM THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW OF THE SITE.
8:51:12PM LET ME ZOOM OUT A LITTLE ON SOME OF THESE ANGLES.
8:51:15PM THIS IS THE EAST END OF THE SITE.
8:51:23PM THAT IS THE EAST END OF THE SITE.
8:51:25PM THAT'S IF YOU ARE LOOKING SOUTH ON ARMENIA.
8:51:28PM THIS IS THE VIEW ON ARMENIA JUST TO SHOW YOU THE ALLEY AND
8:51:34PM THE ACCESS POINT.
8:51:37PM THIS IS WEST OF THE SITE.
8:51:48PM THIS IS WHAT'S NORTHEAST OF THE SITE.
8:51:56PM THIS IS THE TWO UNIT THAT IS NORTH OF THE SITE JUST ACROSS
8:51:59PM THE STREET.
8:52:00PM THIS IS EAST OF THE SITE, THE COMMERCIAL THAT EXISTS.
8:52:05PM AND THIS IS JUST EAST OF THE SITE.
8:52:07PM THE SITE IS BEHIND US IN THIS PICTURE.
8:52:09PM THIS IS IF YOU ARE LOOKING EAST ON CYPRESS.
8:52:12PM THE DRC REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FINDS THE REQUEST
8:52:18PM INCONSISTENT.
8:52:19PM SEE THE FINDINGS FROM TRANSPORTATION.
8:52:22PM AND NOTWITHSTANDING STAFF'S FINDING OF INCONSISTENCY, IF
8:52:25PM CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THE APPLICATION, THE MODIFICATIONS TO
8:52:28PM THE SITE PLAN AS SHOWN ON THE SUBMITTED REVISION SHEET MUST
8:52:31PM BE COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
8:52:33PM THESE REVISIONS WILL NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUES OF STAFF'S
8:52:37PM INCONSISTENT FINDINGS.
8:52:38PM THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
8:52:40PM I'M AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
8:52:41PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
8:52:42PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
8:52:43PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THANK YOU.
8:52:44PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR.
8:52:48PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
8:52:49PM STEVE MICHELINI.
8:52:50PM I'M HERE REPRESENTING THE PETITIONER REGARDING THIS PROJECT.
8:52:54PM AS THE STAFF HAS POINTED OUT TO YOU, THERE IS A CONFLICT IN
8:52:57PM THE CODE THAT IF YOU MEET THE OVERLAY DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS
8:53:02PM FOR THE WEST TAMPA, THEN YOU DON'T MEET THE TECHNICAL
8:53:05PM STANDARDS FOR TRANSPORTATION.
8:53:08PM I'VE DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE TRANSPORTATION STAFF AND THEY
8:53:12PM JUST ASKED FOR THE WAIVER SO TO CLARIFY.
8:53:19PM THIS ALLEY, YOU MIGHT REMEMBER, LET ME GO BACK FOR A SECOND.
8:53:22PM YOU MIGHT REMEMBER WE HAD A TOWN HOUSE PROJECT THAT WE
8:53:25PM PROPOSED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO WHERE WE DID NOT ABIDE BY THE
8:53:30PM WEST TAMPA OVERLAY AND THEN THE COUNCIL'S DISCUSSIONS ON
8:53:34PM THAT WERE MEET THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY, DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE
8:53:38PM TECHNICAL STANDARDS PER SE.
8:53:40PM SO WHAT WE TRIED TO DO IS MAKE THE BEST OUT OF BOTH WORLDS.
8:53:45PM LET ME SHOW YOU A COUPLE OF PHOTOGRAPHS.
8:53:49PM THIS IS LOOKING SOUTHWEST.
8:53:53PM THIS IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY HERE.
8:53:57PM THIS IS ON THE NORTH SIDE.
8:53:59PM THIS IS THE PROPERTY.
8:54:00PM IT'S A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION.
8:54:03PM LOTS OF COMMERCIAL AND MULTIFAMILY THROUGHOUT THIS AREA.
8:54:07PM AS THE STAFF POINTED OUT, THIS IS A TRANSIT CORRIDOR.
8:54:11PM THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW LOOKING TOWARDS THE SOUTHWEST.
8:54:17PM THIS IS THE ALLEY THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO USE FOR ACCESS
8:54:22PM FOR THE GARAGES.
8:54:24PM JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, THIS IS LOOKING NORTHEAST FROM THE
8:54:28PM PROPERTY OF WHAT THE TRAFFIC IS LIKE.
8:54:32PM THIS IS THE SAME VIEW LOOKING DUE NORTH ALONG ARMENIA AND
8:54:37PM WE'RE PROPOSING TO HAVE OUR DOOR ON THIS SIDE OF THE
8:54:42PM PROPERTY, IT WILL FACE ARMENIA.
8:54:45PM SO YOU'LL SEE THE DOOR HERE IS FACING ARMENIA.
8:54:49PM THE FRONT YARD SETBACK IS IN LINE WITH THE EXISTING
8:54:52PM BUILDING.
8:54:52PM WE'RE NOT ASKING TO COME ANY CLOSER OR ANY FURTHER AWAY.
8:54:56PM SO IT'S IN DIRECT LINE.
8:55:01PM THREE-CAR GARAGE WHICH IS UNUSUAL.
8:55:02PM IT'S MORE THAN 30 -- IT'S ALMOST 31 FEET WIDE.
8:55:06PM IT ALSO INCLUDES SIX FEET OF STORAGE INSIDE THAT'S BEEN A
8:55:10PM STICKING POINT WITH SOME OF THE COUNCIL IN YOUR DISCUSSIONS.
8:55:13PM THE ALLEY STILL PROVIDES US WHERE -- WE'RE 6.5 FEET FROM THE
8:55:21PM PROPERTY LINE AND THE ALLEY IS 14 FEET WIDE.
8:55:24PM IT STILL GIVES US ABOUT 20 FEET TO MANEUVER.
8:55:28PM THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT BEING ABLE TO GET IN AND
8:55:31PM OUT.
8:55:32PM SO WE PROVIDED AN AUTOCAD TURNING RADIUS TO SHOW YOU THAT
8:55:37PM IT'S POSSIBLE TO GET IN THERE WITH THE EXISTING SETBACKS
8:55:39PM THAT ARE PROPOSED FOR THIS PROJECT.
8:55:41PM WE ARE ASKING FOR THE WAIVERS.
8:55:49PM AS THE STAFF HAS POINTED OUT, THE ONE WAIVER, AS I POINTED
8:55:53PM TO YOU A SECOND AGO WAS TO ALLOW THE BUILDINGS TO ALIGN
8:55:55PM TOGETHER.
8:55:59PM SO THAT'S ON THIS SIDE.
8:56:00PM AND THEN THE ALLEY ACCESS FOR THE USE OF THE GARAGE IS HERE.
8:56:05PM WE EXCEED THE GREENSPACE THAT'S REQUIRED.
8:56:13PM WE'RE ASKING FOR TWO UNITS OUT OF THE LAND USE DESIGNATION
8:56:18PM AS R-20, WHICH ALLOWS FOR THE TWO UNITS.
8:56:25PM WE HAVE 4900 OR 4,954 SQUARE FEET IN THIS PROJECT WHICH
8:56:32PM ALLOWS FOR THE TWO UNITS.
8:56:33PM WE ARE IN A COMMERCIAL AREA AS WELL AS A MULTIFAMILY AREA,
8:56:38PM SO WE'RE NOT INTRODUCING A NEW USE.
8:56:41PM AGAIN, ON A TRANSIT CORRIDOR.
8:56:45PM WE DO COMPLY WITH THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY DEVELOPMENT DESIGN
8:56:52PM GUIDELINES AND THE WAIVER THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS TO ALLOW
8:56:54PM THE TWO UNITS TO BE ALIGNED WITH EACH OTHER.
8:56:58PM WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, LET ME GO THROUGH --
8:57:09PM PROMOTE THE EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF LAND AND
8:57:12PM INFRASTRUCTURE.
8:57:13PM THIS IS PROPOSED -- IS FOUND TO BE CONSISTENT, TO ALLOW AND
8:57:19PM ENCOURAGE FLEXIBLE USES OF LAND.
8:57:22PM IT'S ALSO BEEN FOUND CONSISTENT.
8:57:24PM PROMOTE, ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT WHERE APPROPRIATE IN
8:57:26PM LOCATION, CHARACTER AND COMPATIBILITY WITH SURROUNDING
8:57:30PM IMPACTING THE AREA.
8:57:32PM CONSISTENT, PROMOTE MORE DESIRABLE LIVING AND WORKING
8:57:35PM CONDITIONS AND ENVIRONMENTS.
8:57:36PM THIS IS ADDING ONE UNIT TO AN EXISTING UNIT, PRESERVING THE
8:57:40PM UNIT THAT'S THERE.
8:57:41PM AND ADDING AN ADDITIONAL UNIT.
8:57:43PM PROMOTE THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES AND ELEMENTS OF THE WEST
8:57:45PM TAMPA OVERLAY, IT IS FOUND TO BE CONSISTENT.
8:57:48PM PROMOTE THE RETENTION AND REUSE OF EXISTING BUILDINGS.
8:57:51PM SO WE'RE USING THE ONE BUILDING.
8:57:53PM WE HAD THE LAND USE DESIGNATION THAT ALLOWS A CONSIDERATION
8:57:55PM OF AN ADDITIONAL UNIT.
8:57:58PM SO WE ARE MAXIMIZING THE ABILITY TO USE THAT PROPERTY.
8:58:02PM THE ABILITY OF THIS PROJECT TO MEET ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT
8:58:10PM CODES, WE HAVE DONE THE BEST WE CAN IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT
8:58:14PM COMPLY.
8:58:14PM WE'RE CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
8:58:17PM THE EXISTING UNIT WILL REMAIN AND WILL ADD -- PROPOSE TO ADD
8:58:21PM ONE MORE UNIT.
8:58:23PM COMPATIBILITY IS SUFFICIENT WITH THE WEST TAMPA VILLAGE
8:58:26PM CONCEPT.
8:58:27PM THE FRONT DOOR FACES THE ARMENIA AREA.
8:58:30PM IT'S ON A TRANSIT CORRIDOR.
8:58:32PM THE ALLEY USE IS ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR
8:58:37PM RELIEF.
8:58:37PM THE PARKING IS PROVIDED.
8:58:39PM WE HAVE ACTUALLY FIVE SPACES WHICH IS MORE THAN WHAT'S
8:58:43PM REQUIRED.
8:58:44PM THE CONNECTION TO THE MULTIFAMILY AS WELL AS THE COMMERCIAL
8:58:48PM DISTRICTS AND THE ORIENTATION IS CONSISTENT.
8:58:51PM THE BLOCK FACE IS CONSISTENT AS THE STAFF HAS POINTED OUT.
8:58:54PM AND WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL.
8:58:57PM I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
8:59:01PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
8:59:02PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I JUST HAVE TO ASK, WHY ARE YOU KEEPING THE
8:59:06PM ONE-STORY RESIDENCE?
8:59:09PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: COST.
8:59:09PM >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY.
8:59:10PM THAT'S WHAT I FIGURED.
8:59:12PM AND THEN THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS ON THE ELEVATIONS IT
8:59:18PM SHOWS NO WINDOWS ON THE NORTH SIDE.
8:59:20PM NOW, THAT WOULD BE THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE.
8:59:23PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: THE NORTH SIDE IS WHERE IT ATTACHES TO
8:59:25PM THE EXISTING HOUSE.
8:59:26PM >>LYNN HURTAK: CORRECT.
8:59:28PM BUT THIS IS A THREE-STORY STRUCTURE WITH A ONE-STORY
8:59:32PM RESIDENCE.
8:59:33PM THAT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD LOOK ODD.
8:59:38PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: I DON'T HAVE THAT ELEVATION THAT SHOWS
8:59:42PM THAT IT'S BLANK.
8:59:43PM IS IT BLANK?
8:59:45PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YEAH, SHE SHOWED IT AS BEING BLANK.
8:59:48PM I WAS CURIOUS BECAUSE I THINK THAT WOULD BE AN ODD --
8:59:50PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: WE CAN CERTAINLY CONSIDER ADDING WINDOWS
8:59:52PM ON THE NORTH SIDE, ABOVE THE ELEVATION OF THE EXISTING,
8:59:56PM SURE, YEAH.
8:59:57PM ABOVE WHERE IT'S NOT BLOCKED BY THE OTHER HOUSE, WE CAN
9:00:03PM CERTAINLY ADD WINDOWS.
9:00:04PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YEAH, I JUST THINK --
9:00:06PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: I AGREE WITH YOU.
9:00:08PM IT'S ODD.
9:00:08PM >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY.
9:00:09PM THANK YOU.
9:00:13PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
9:00:13PM ANYTHING ELSE, SIR?
9:00:14PM ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS?
9:00:17PM DOES THAT CONCLUDE YOUR PRESENTATION?
9:00:20PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
9:00:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:00:22PM AT THIS TIME I'LL GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT.
9:00:24PM YES, MA'AM.
9:00:45PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: MS. SANCHEZ HAS ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR
9:00:48PM NAMES.
9:00:48PM I'LL SEE IF I CAN READ THEM.
9:00:50PM CARROLL ANN BENNETT.
9:00:52PM STEPHANIE POYNOR.
9:00:54PM THANK YOU.
9:00:54PM DANIEL MANGIONE.
9:01:01PM >> DAVID.
9:01:02PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: DAVID.
9:01:03PM THAT'S CLOSE ENOUGH.
9:01:05PM STEVEN MACE.
9:01:09PM FOUR ADDITIONAL MINUTES FOR A TOTAL OF SEVEN.
9:01:24PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: FOUR ADDITIONAL MINUTES WITH A TOTAL OF
9:01:26PM SEVEN.
9:01:27PM IS THAT CORRECT?
9:01:27PM YES, MA'AM.
9:01:28PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
9:01:33PM >> I'M WAITING FOR THE HANDOUTS.
9:01:35PM GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.
9:01:39PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: CAN I HAVE A COPY OF THE HANDOUT?
9:01:42PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: LISA, CAN YOU GIVE MR. MICHELINI A COPY?
9:01:45PM YES, MA'AM, GO AHEAD.
9:01:56PM >> I WOULD LIKE TO START MY MINUTES NOW.
9:01:58PM GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.
9:02:01PM MY NAME IS SANDRA DEDIEGO SANCHEZ.
9:02:05PM I LIVE IN THE ARMORY GARDENS COMMUNITY WHICH IS IN WEST
9:02:08PM TAMPA.
9:02:12PM IT IS ALSO UNDER THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
9:02:15PM THE APPLICANT'S PROJECT IS LOCATED WITHIN ARMORY GARDENS AND
9:02:18PM THEREFORE WEST TAMPA AND UNDER THE GUIDELINES OF THE WEST
9:02:21PM TAMPA OVERLAY.
9:02:22PM THEY SAY PICTURES ARE WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS, SO I'LL GO
9:02:27PM THROUGH THESE QUICKLY.
9:02:28PM ON PAGE ONE IS THE ORDINANCE ON OVERLAY.
9:02:37PM AND I WOULD LIKE TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SECOND
9:02:40PM SENTENCE WHICH SAYS THESE PROVISIONS SHALL SERVE TO
9:02:44PM SUPPLEMENT UNDERLYING ZONING REGULATIONS IN ORDER TO SUPPORT
9:02:47PM THE STATED PURPOSE OF THE DISTRICT AND SHALL CONTROL IN THE
9:02:52PM EVENT OF CONFLICT.
9:02:53PM THERE IS ALSO A LIST OF CONSTRUCTION ITEMS THAT THE OVERLAY
9:02:59PM COVERED.
9:02:59PM YOU KNOW THAT THIS PROJECT TRANSPORTATION RESPONDED
9:03:05PM INCONSISTENT.
9:03:05PM WITH ARMORY GARDENS -- EXCUSE ME, ARMENIA BEING AS BUSY AS
9:03:12PM IT IS, THIS WILL PUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN DANGER, CONGESTION
9:03:16PM AT CYPRESS AND ARMENIA AND WILL BE A DISASTER FOR THOSE OF
9:03:21PM US THAT LIVE IN THAT COMMUNITY.
9:03:23PM ON PAGE 2 IS THE ADU MAP.
9:03:27PM I BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE THERE IS QUESTION
9:03:31PM WHETHER THIS IS AN ADU OR ACTUALLY A MULTIFAMILY.
9:03:34PM THIS IS 800 SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE BASE OF THIS IS 800 SQUARE
9:03:39PM FEET.
9:03:40PM WHY IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED INSTEAD OF ADU -- MULTI-INSTEAD
9:03:46PM OF ADU, I HAVE NO IDEA.
9:03:47PM THE MAP SHOWS YOU CLEARLY, CHARLIE DON'T LAUGH AT THIS, MR.
9:03:51PM MIRANDA, ADUs IN WEST TAMPA ARE ILLEGAL.
9:03:54PM VERY QUICKLY.
9:03:59PM ON PAGE 3, GIVE YOU A BETTER LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN WITH ALL
9:04:04PM THE RED LINES ON IT AND EVERYTHING THAT'S WRONG WITH IT,
9:04:08PM INCLUDING YOU WILL SEE THERE IS A FOOT BETWEEN THE DOORWAY
9:04:15PM AND THE SIDEWALK.
9:04:17PM THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF OTHER TRANSPORTATION NOTATIONS IN
9:04:21PM HERE.
9:04:21PM ALL DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE WRONG WITH THIS PLAN.
9:04:24PM WITH THIS, LET ME QUOTE SOMETHING FROM THE ACTUAL STAFF
9:04:32PM REPORT.
9:04:32PM THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFFS HAVE REVIEWED
9:04:36PM THE PETITION AND FINDS THE REQUEST INCONSISTENT WITH THE
9:04:39PM APPLICABLE CITY OF TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.
9:04:43PM THESE REVISIONS WILL NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUES FOR STAFF'S
9:04:50PM INCONSISTENT FINDINGS.
9:04:51PM END QUOTE.
9:04:56PM ON PAGE 4, YOU SEE IN SOME OF THESE PICTURES, GOOGLE EARTH
9:05:03PM PHOTO GIVING YOU OVERHEAD AND SHOWING YOU THE CLOSE
9:05:05PM PROXIMITY TO THE PROPERTY, TO THE ALLEY AND THE SECOND
9:05:08PM BUILDING THAT IS ALREADY THERE.
9:05:10PM THE NEIGHBORHOOD -- THE NEIGHBORS, INCLUDING THE OWNER OF
9:05:14PM THE CONVENIENCE STORE ACROSS THE STREET AND THE OWNER AND
9:05:20PM THE STAFF HAVE DEALT WITH THE GUEST OF THE ADU THAT'S
9:05:24PM ALREADY EXISTING THERE.
9:05:26PM ALSO NOTE THERE'S NO GREENSPACE.
9:05:30PM THE PROXIMITY OF THE BUS STOP AND THE TELEPHONE POLE WHICH
9:05:37PM WILL HAVE TO BE MANEUVERED TO GET AROUND TO GET TO THE
9:05:41PM ALLEY.
9:05:41PM ON PAGE 5, THESE ARE THE ELEVATIONS.
9:05:49PM PLEASE NOTICE THE ONE ON THE LEFT IS THE ORIGINAL ON 32623,
9:05:53PM AND IT SAYS IT IS 35 FEET HIGH.
9:06:01PM THE MOST CURRENT ONE IS ON THE RIGHT, AND IF THE ORIGINAL IS
9:06:06PM 35 FEET HIGH, IF TO COMPLY WITH THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY IT'S
9:06:12PM A 4/12 PITCH, WHICH WILL ADD FOUR FEET TO IT AND COMPLY WITH
9:06:16PM THE OVERLAY YOU ALSO HAVE A TWO-FOOT FOUNDATION WHICH NEEDS
9:06:21PM TO BE ADDED TO COMPLY WITH THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
9:06:23PM THAT MEANS THAT THIS BUILDING WILL BE 41 FEET HIGH.
9:06:27PM 35 FEET IS THE LIMIT.
9:06:28PM NOTICE THERE ARE NO VERTICAL DIMENSIONS.
9:06:33PM EVEN IN THEIR SITE PLANS, THERE'S NO VERTICAL DIMENSIONS.
9:06:37PM HOW CAN YOU MAKE A DECISION IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY VERTICAL
9:06:42PM DIMENSIONS WHEN THEY HAVE ASKED, LIKE I SAID, ADDED SIX FEET
9:06:48PM TO THESE DIMENSIONS.
9:06:49PM ON PAGE 6, SHOWS YOU WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD LOOKS LIKE.
9:06:56PM AND I HAVE PLACED THE 41-FOOT ONE-APARTMENT BUILDING TO SHOW
9:07:02PM YOU THAT IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
9:07:09PM PAGE 7 LISTS ALL THE WAIVERS THAT WILL BE NEEDED TO ADD.
9:07:21PM THREE-STORY, ONE APARTMENT.
9:07:23PM ON PAGE 9 LISTING THE CURRENT LAND USE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
9:07:28PM THAT THE PROJECT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH.
9:07:32PM THERE ARE 26 OF THEM.
9:07:34PM ALL OF THESE GOALS ARE -- HAVE TO DO WITH HIGH DENSITY,
9:07:39PM LARGE DEVELOPMENTS.
9:07:42PM THESE ARE NOT GOALS FOR ONE APARTMENT BUILDING BEING PUT ON
9:07:46PM THIS PROPERTY.
9:07:47PM I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND YOU THAT THE GUIDELINES FOR ALL THE
9:07:56PM OVERLAYS ARE PRIMARY WHEN MAKING ZONING DECISIONS.
9:07:59PM AS OF TODAY'S DATE, ADUs ARE ILLEGAL IN WEST TAMPA.
9:08:02PM THE 41-FOOT BUILDING FOR ONE APARTMENT IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH
9:08:06PM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
9:08:08PM CITY STAFF SAYS EVEN THE CHANGES WILL NOT MAKE THEM
9:08:13PM CONSISTENT.
9:08:15PM TRANSPORTATION FOUND IT INCONSISTENT.
9:08:18PM THERE ARE TWO LAND USE POLICIES THAT SHOWS THAT THIS DOES
9:08:22PM NOT WARRANT A PD.
9:08:24PM LAND USE POLICY 1.2.17 ENSURE THAT THE ZONING CODE
9:08:28PM REINFORCES QUALITY URBAN DESIGN AS IT RELATES TO THE CONTEXT
9:08:33PM OF THE AREA.
9:08:34PM IT DOES NOT.
9:08:36PM LAND USE 9.7.2 MAINTAIN COMPATIBILITY WITH A SINGLE-FAMILY
9:08:40PM DEVELOPMENT WHICH LIMITS ON THE PERMANENT HEIGHT AND BULK OF
9:08:43PM A NEW DEVELOPMENT.
9:08:44PM IT DOES NOT.
9:08:45PM THIS IS NOT A HARDSHIP.
9:08:46PM THIS IS NOT AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
9:08:48PM THIS IS JUST AN ADU THAT THEY WANT TO PUT IN THERE.
9:08:53PM I ASK THAT YOU DENY THIS APPLICATION FOR ALL THE REASONS
9:08:56PM THAT I HAVE SHOWED YOU.
9:08:58PM THANK YOU.
9:08:59PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:09:00PM IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM?
9:09:03PM THIS IS ITEM NUMBER 6?
9:09:05PM ANYBODY ELSE HERE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT?
9:09:07PM YES, MA'AM.
9:09:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK: FIRST, MS. DOCK, I'M CONFUSED.
9:09:22PM WHAT SHE GAVE US SAID THEY NEED EIGHT OR NINE WAIVERS BUT
9:09:25PM THE SITE PLAN SAYS THERE ARE ONLY TWO WAIVERS.
9:09:27PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: YES.
9:09:29PM LaCHONE DOCK, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
9:09:32PM STAFF REPORT, THERE ARE FOUR WAIVERS THAT ARE LISTED.
9:09:34PM THOSE ARE THE FOUR WAIVERS.
9:09:36PM I DON'T HAVE THE DOCUMENT.
9:09:38PM I CAN'T SEE WHAT --
9:09:39PM >>LYNN HURTAK: BUT THERE ARE FOUR AND ON THE SITE PLAN THERE
9:09:42PM ARE ONLY TWO.
9:09:43PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: FOUR WAIVERS.
9:09:44PM TWO TO THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY, 27-241 AND 27-283 WHICH IS
9:09:50PM THE AISLE WIDTH REDUCTION FROM 24 FEET TO 18 FEET.
9:09:55PM AND ONE FOR NATURAL RESOURCES.
9:09:57PM AND THIS IS REGARDING THE USE-TO-USE LANDSCAPE BUFFER FROM
9:10:00PM FIVE FEET TO TWO FEET.
9:10:02PM AND THEN THERE IS A NOTE ALSO ON THE SITE PLAN TO COMPLY
9:10:07PM WITH THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY SECTION OF THE CODE AT THE TIME
9:10:10PM OF PERMITTING UNLESS IT IS LISTED AS A WAIVER AND IT IS
9:10:13PM GRANTED, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO MEET CODE.
9:10:16PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
9:10:18PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
9:10:20PM MR. MICHELINI, DO YOU HAVE REBUTTAL?
9:10:23PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: BEFORE I START, I WOULD LIKE FOR
9:10:25PM LaCHONE TO COMMENT ABOUT THE ALLEGATION THAT THIS IS NOT
9:10:29PM AN ALLOWABLE USE AND IT'S AN ADU VERSUS ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE
9:10:34PM NOW CALL DUPLEXES, BUT IT HAS A DIFFERENT NAME UNDER THE
9:10:37PM CITY CODE.
9:10:39PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THE REQUEST BEFORE IS YOU FOR A PD PLANNED
9:10:42PM DEVELOPMENT, AND THE REQUESTED USE IS FOR RESIDENTIAL
9:10:45PM SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI DETACHED, WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR TWO UNITS
9:10:49PM ON-SITE.
9:10:49PM SO THAT IS WHAT IS REQUESTED.
9:10:51PM IF IT IS APPROVED, THAT IS THE ALLOWABLE USE ON THE SITE.
9:10:54PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: IT'S NOT AN ADU.
9:10:57PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: IT IS NOT.
9:10:59PM IT IS TWO RESIDENTIAL UNITS.
9:11:02PM >>BILL CARLSON: WHILE YOU ARE UP THERE, HER COMMENTS ABOUT
9:11:05PM HEIGHT, COULD YOU COMMENT ABOUT THAT?
9:11:08PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: YES, SO THE HEIGHT COULD BE ACTUALLY PLACED
9:11:13PM WITHIN -- ON THE ELEVATIONS THEMSELVES.
9:11:16PM ON THE ELEVATION IT SHOWS -- ON THE ELEVATION, WE NORMALLY
9:11:22PM HAVE THEM PUT THE HEIGHT OF THE TOP OF THE BUILDING.
9:11:24PM SO THIS IDENTIFIES IT AT THE TOP AT 35 FEET.
9:11:29PM WHICH IS THE NORMAL HEIGHT THAT YOU'D HAVE FOR THE
9:11:35PM RESIDENTIAL ZONING, THE RESIDENTIAL EUCLIDEAN DISTRICT.
9:11:38PM I THINK THEY TRIED TO KEEP IT AT THAT HEIGHT.
9:11:42PM AT THE TOP OF THE ELEVATION.
9:11:44PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: I WOULD LIKE TO ASK LaCHONE AGAIN, THAT
9:11:46PM INCLUDES THE ROOF?
9:11:47PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: YES.
9:11:48PM THAT'S TO THE TOP OF ROOF.
9:11:54PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE?
9:11:57PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: WE'RE PROPOSING IT AT 35 FEET.
9:12:01PM WE DIDN'T DESIGN IT AT 42 FEET.
9:12:04PM I SAW THIS DOCUMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME.
9:12:08PM IT'S NOT AN ADU ACCORDING TO STAFF.
9:12:10PM THE ISSUES REGARDING THE WAIVERS HAVE TO DO WITH EITHER YOU
9:12:16PM MEET THE CODE REGARDING THE ALLEY ACCESS OR YOU DON'T.
9:12:18PM AND SO WE'RE MEETING THE ALLEY ACCESS, BUT BECAUSE OF THAT,
9:12:24PM THE ALLEY IS NOT WIDE ENOUGH TO MEET THE TECHNICAL
9:12:27PM STANDARDS.
9:12:27PM SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE A WAIVER.
9:12:29PM ONE OR THE OTHER.
9:12:30PM EITHER YOU WAIVE THE WEST TAMPA GUIDELINES OR YOU WAIVE THE
9:12:33PM TECHNICAL STANDARDS.
9:12:34PM SO THAT'S WHY IT'S IN THERE.
9:12:36PM IT'S NOT WE'RE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING IMPROPER.
9:12:40PM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO MEET TWO CODES THAT ARE
9:12:44PM APPARENTLY IN CONFLICT WITH EACH OTHER.
9:12:45PM THE PROFESSIONAL STAFF HAS TOLD YOU THAT WE'RE CONSISTENT
9:12:49PM WITH THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
9:12:51PM IF YOU'D LIKE, I CAN READ ALL OF THE OBJECTIVES AND
9:12:54PM GUIDELINES THAT SAY WE ARE CONSISTENT AND GIVE YOU ALL THE
9:13:00PM EVALUATIONS STARTING WITH THE CITY PLANNING STRATEGY
9:13:03PM OBJECTIVE LAND USE 2.1, 2.11, 2.12, URBAN VILLAGES, LAND USE
9:13:09PM OBJECTIVE 5.1, 5.1.2, LAND USE OBJECTIVE 5.1.4, LAND USE
9:13:18PM DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AND OBJECTIVES 8.15.
9:13:21PM 8.151.
9:13:23PM 8.512.
9:13:24PM OVERALL RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE
9:13:28PM 92.
9:13:30PM 92.1, WHICH IS ONE OF THE ONES THAT MS. SANCHEZ CITED THAT
9:13:34PM WE WERE NOT CONSISTENT WITH AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION
9:13:36PM STAFF SAID WE WERE.
9:13:39PM LAND USE POLICY 9.2.6.
9:13:42PM LAND USE OBJECTIVE 9.3.
9:13:44PM LAND USE POLICY 9.3.8.
9:13:46PM LAND USE OBJECTIVE 9.4.
9:13:49PM 9.41.
9:13:50PM MULTIFAMILY AREAS LAND USE OBJECTIVE 9.6.
9:13:53PM 9.62, 9.64.
9:13:56PM LOW DENSITY DEVELOPMENT AND MULTIFAMILY 8.7 -- 9.7.
9:14:01PM 9.71, 9.72.
9:14:04PM ADEQUATE SITES FOR ACCOMMODATING HOUSING NEEDS, 1.3, 1.34.
9:14:10PM INFRASTRUCTURE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES 1.1.
9:14:13PM INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY 1.1.17.
9:14:16PM 1.118 AND THE STAFF ANALYSIS AND OBJECTIVES THE SITE IS
9:14:22PM RECOGNIZED UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL 20 AND IS INTENDED FOR
9:14:25PM MEDIUM AND LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL USES ATTACHED AND
9:14:28PM DETACHED SINGLE-FAMILY WHICH IS WHAT THIS PROPOSAL IS.
9:14:31PM IT GOES ON TO SAY THAT THE PORTION OF WEST TAMPA CONTAINS
9:14:36PM PREDOMINANTLY SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENTS WITH SOME
9:14:40PM SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED RESIDENCES AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AS
9:14:43PM WELL AS MULTIFAMILY.
9:14:44PM THE STAFF FOUND IT TO BE THE DENSITIES AND PARCELS WITHIN
9:14:47PM THE R-20 DISTRICT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.
9:14:49PM AND THEY FOUND IT TO BE NO OBJECTIONS AND FOUND IT
9:14:53PM CONSISTENT.
9:14:53PM IN CONCLUSION, THE PROPOSED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FURTHERS
9:14:57PM SEVERAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES SUCH AS PROMOTING
9:15:00PM RESIDENTIAL INFILL AND THE PROPOSED REZONING WILL PROVIDE
9:15:03PM ADDITIONAL HOUSING OPTIONS WITH THE R-20 LAND USE
9:15:08PM DESIGNATION WE FIND IT CONSISTENT.
9:15:09PM I THINK WE'VE MET THE BURDEN OF PROOF REGARDING COMPETENT
9:15:13PM AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
9:15:15PM WE DIDN'T TAKE ANY LEAPS IN LOGIC HERE.
9:15:18PM WE DIDN'T TRY TO DESIGN A PROJECT AND HAVE SOMEONE ELSE
9:15:22PM COMMENT ABOUT IT THAT WE WEREN'T MEETING THE HEIGHT
9:15:24PM REQUIREMENT.
9:15:25PM IT IS AT 35 FEET.
9:15:27PM SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN AS 35 FEET.
9:15:29PM ONE ADDITIONAL NOTE IS THAT SHOULD WE BE APPROVED WE'LL
9:15:33PM CONSIDER ADDING WINDOWS ON THE NORTH SIDE ABOVE THE ROOFLINE
9:15:36PM OF THE EXISTING HOME.
9:15:38PM WE'RE TRYING TO RETAIN THAT IN ORDER TO OBTAIN SOME ECONOMY
9:15:43PM OF SCALE.
9:15:44PM I'D APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT AND APPROVAL OF THIS PROJECT.
9:15:48PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
9:15:50PM I'LL ASK FOR A MOTION TO CLOSE.
9:15:55PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: I'M SORRY.
9:15:56PM WITH REGARD TO THE DISCUSSION OF THE NORTH FACE OF THE
9:16:02PM TALLER BUILDING, MR. MICHELINI, DID YOU SAY YOU'RE GOING TO
9:16:05PM MAKE A CHANGE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING?
9:16:07PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: FIRST AND SECOND READING.
9:16:09PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: I GUESS THAT QUESTION WOULD BE TO MS. DOCK,
9:16:13PM REVISION SHEET.
9:16:14PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: ADDRESSING THE COMMENTS THEY HAVE FOR THE
9:16:16PM REVISION SHEET.
9:16:17PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
9:16:19PM I HAVE AMENDED THE REVISION SHEET AND ADDED THAT COMMENT.
9:16:21PM THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO PROVIDE WINDOWS ON THE NORTH
9:16:25PM ELEVATION ABOVE THE FIRST FLOOR LEVEL.
9:16:27PM I'LL ENTER THIS INTO THE RECORD.
9:16:31PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, COUNCIL MEMBER.
9:16:32PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHAT IS THE SIZE OF THE LOT?
9:16:34PM THE DIMENSIONS OF THE LOT?
9:16:39PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: 4,000, ALMOST 5,000 SQUARE FEET.
9:16:41PM I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DIMENSIONS ARE.
9:16:44PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: UNDER EUCLIDEAN ZONING, THAT IS A
9:16:47PM SINGLE-FAMILY LOT.
9:16:48PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: IT'S NOT EUCLIDEAN.
9:16:50PM THIS IS R-20.
9:16:52PM IT'S NOT A TYPICAL SINGLE-FAMILY LOT.
9:16:55PM IT'S DESIGNED FOR MULTIFAMILY.
9:16:57PM DESIGNATED FOR MULTIFAMILY.
9:17:07PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
9:17:09PM THE LOT AREA IS 4,954 SQUARE FEET.
9:17:12PM IT HAS 52 FEET OF FRONTAGE AND 94 FEET OF DEPTH.
9:17:17PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SO 94.
9:17:19PM AGAIN, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE AN AWFUL LOT ON A VERY SMALL PIECE
9:17:25PM OF PROPERTY.
9:17:25PM STAFF FOUND THAT THE SUBJECT SITE CANNOT BE DEVELOPED WITH
9:17:29PM TWO UNITS UNDER THE CURRENT RM 16 EUCLIDEAN ZONING DISTRICT.
9:17:33PM JUST RIGHT THERE SHOWS STAFF -- THAT'S WHAT STAFF FINDS IS
9:17:38PM THAT YOU CAN'T BUILD TWO UNITS EVEN UNDER THE RM 16 RIGHT
9:17:42PM NOW UNDER THE EUCLIDEAN ZONING.
9:17:44PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: THAT'S BECAUSE THE DENSITY IS UNDER R-20,
9:17:51PM THE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF R-20, YOU CAN BUILD AT 18.
9:17:55PM 18 UNITS TO THE ACRE.
9:17:57PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I UNDERSTAND.
9:17:59PM THAT ASIDE, FOR WHAT IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED IS RM 16, THAT
9:18:04PM DOESN'T ACCOMMODATE TWO UNITS.
9:18:05PM ONLY ACCOMMODATES ONE UNIT AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AN
9:18:08PM OVERLAY DISTRICT.
9:18:09PM WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AN IMPORTANT AREA OF THE CITY.
9:18:12PM AGAIN, I KNOW I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE.
9:18:14PM IF YOU HAD MORE PROPERTY, IF YOU CONTROLLED MORE PROPERTY, I
9:18:18PM GET IT.
9:18:19PM BUT THIS IS A REALLY SMALL PIECE OF PROPERTY TO TRY TO
9:18:23PM DEVELOP TWO UNITS ON, ESPECIALLY AS NOT A MASTER PLAN, NOT
9:18:30PM COMING TO THIS WITH SOMETHING DEVELOPED FROM THE DIRT UP
9:18:33PM TRYING TO SQUEEZE TOO MUCH INTO TOO LITTLE.
9:18:35PM I'M NOT GOING TO SUPPORT THIS.
9:18:36PM I'M SORRY.
9:18:37PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE?
9:18:38PM CAN I GET A MOTION TO CLOSE?
9:18:40PM WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
9:18:43PM SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA.
9:18:44PM ALL IN FAVOR?
9:18:45PM AYE.
9:18:46PM GOING DOWN THE LINE, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE?
9:18:50PM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ IT?
9:18:53PM COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON?
9:18:59PM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA?
9:19:01PM COUNCILMAN VIERA?
9:19:02PM WOULD YOU LIKE IT READ ITEM NUMBER 6?
9:19:09PM WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION?
9:19:28PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I'LL TAKE A STAB AT IT.
9:19:30PM >>LYNN HURTAK: GO FOR IT.
9:19:33PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I MOVE TO DENY REZ-23-59, LOCATED AT 2402
9:19:48PM WEST CYPRESS STREET FROM RM 16 TO PD RESIDENTIAL SEMI
9:19:57PM DETACHED.
9:19:58PM DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE APPLICANT TO MEET ITS BURDEN OF
9:19:58PM PROOF, PROVIDE COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT THE
9:20:00PM DEVELOPMENT AS CONDITIONED AND SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN IS
9:20:02PM CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF CITY CODE.
9:20:04PM APPLICANT'S FAILURE TO MEET BURDEN OF PROOF WITH RESPECT TO
9:20:07PM THE REQUESTED WAIVERS AND SPECIFICALLY ON THE WAIVERS AS
9:20:09PM STAFF HAS FOUND THAT THE APPLICANT IS NOT ABLE TO BUILD TWO
9:20:15PM UNITS ON THE SITE UNDER THE EXISTING EUCLIDEAN ZONING OF RM
9:20:23PM 16, WHICH IS WHY THE APPLICANT IS BEFORE US WITH A PD.
9:20:28PM THE DESIGN OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS NOT UNIQUE AND
9:20:41PM THEREFORE -- WAIVER BUT APPLICANT DID NOT MEET THAT BURDEN
9:20:45PM OF PROOF.
9:20:46PM THE WAIVER IS NOT IN HARMONY AND DOES NOT SERVE THE GENERAL
9:20:53PM INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THE CHAPTER 27-139 AND OTHER
9:20:57PM APPLICABLE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AND THE ADOPTED
9:21:01PM TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
9:21:04PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: DID YOU WANT TO CITE TO THE PROVISIONS OF
9:21:07PM CODE CRITERIA?
9:21:08PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: 23-136.
9:21:11PM 139, 27-139.
9:21:14PM IT DOES NOT PROMOTE THE EFFICIENT SUSTAINABLE USE OF LAND
9:21:17PM AND INFRASTRUCTURE WITH THE CAREFUL CONSIDERATION OF
9:21:20PM POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECTS, ELEMENTS SURROUNDING THE IMPACTED
9:21:25PM NEIGHBORHOODS AND CULTURAL RESOURCES.
9:21:26PM IT DOES NOT PROVIDE A PROCEDURE WHICH CAN RELATE TO THE TYPE
9:21:34PM AND DESIGN AND LAYOUT OF RESIDENTIAL AND NONRESIDENTIAL
9:21:37PM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THIS PARTICULAR SITE.
9:21:39PM I THINK THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH.
9:21:50PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: DO YOU WANT TO CITE TO ANY SPECIFIC
9:21:53PM EVIDENCE THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD THAT SUPPORTS THAT
9:21:56PM POSITION THAT YOU WANT TO BRING --
9:21:58PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I THINK I DID.
9:21:59PM STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION FINDING INCONSISTENT ON BOTH
9:22:04PM TRANSPORTATION AND ALSO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE NOT -- THIS
9:22:08PM IS NOT SOMETHING THAT, AGAIN, READING FROM THE STAFF REPORT,
9:22:11PM THE SITE CANNOT BE DEVELOPED WITH TWO UNITS UNDER THE
9:22:14PM CURRENT RM 16 EUCLIDEAN ZONING DISTRICT.
9:22:18PM AGAIN, REQUIRE THAT PD.
9:22:21PM I'M NOT INCLINED TO APPROVE THAT.
9:22:24PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOU HAD TALKED ABOUT THE SITE, THE SIZE OF
9:22:28PM THE LOT --
9:22:30PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I THINK THAT FALLS WITH THE RM 16 --
9:22:34PM [MICROPHONE NOT ON]
9:22:40PM SORRY, MICROPHONE WAS OFF.
9:22:41PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
9:22:43PM DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
9:22:44PM SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON.

9:23:55PM >>DANNY COLLINS: DANNY COLLINS WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION
9:23:58PM STAFF.

9:24:01PM OUR NEXT CASE IN THE SOUTH TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT,
9:24:04PM SPECIFICALLY IN THE PALMA CEIA WEST NEIGHBORHOOD, THE SITE
9:24:06PM IS WITHIN THE COASTAL PLANNING AREA, SPECIFICALLY EVACUATION
9:24:09PM ZONE B.
9:24:10PM HERE IS AN AERIAL MAP OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND SURROUNDING
9:24:13PM PROPERTIES.
9:24:14PM SITE OUTLINED IN PURPLE.
9:24:15PM IT HAS FRONTAGE ON HENDERSON BOULEVARD AND SOUTH CLARK
9:24:18PM STREET.
9:24:19PM HENDERSON BOULEVARD IS PREDOMINANTLY NONRESIDENTIAL AS WELL
9:24:22PM AS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF SOUTH CLARK AVENUE.
9:24:27PM AS YOU MOVE NORTH ON CLARK AVENUE IT TRANSITIONS TO
9:24:31PM RESIDENTIAL.
9:24:32PM HERE IS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
9:24:38PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS CURRENTLY RECOGNIZED YOU DID THE
9:24:40PM COMMUNITY MIXED -- UNDER THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35
9:24:42PM DESIGNATION.
9:24:43PM THAT DESIGNATION SURROUNDS THE SITE ON ALL SIDES.
9:24:46PM AS YOU MOVE NORTH ON CLARK AVENUE IT TRANSITIONS TO
9:24:49PM RESIDENTIAL 10.
9:24:50PM THE CMU 35 CATEGORY PROMOTES MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN
9:24:54PM UP TO 35 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE OR 2.04 FLOOR AREA RATIO.
9:25:00PM SINGLE USE COMMERCIAL USES LIKE RESTAURANT, WHAT'S PROPOSED
9:25:02PM CAN BE CONSIDERED UNDER THIS CATEGORY.
9:25:04PM THE PROPOSED RESTAURANT WILL BE DEVELOPED AT .12 F.A.R.,
9:25:10PM WHICH IS WELL BELOW THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE CMU 35
9:25:14PM CATEGORY BUT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED IN
9:25:16PM THE CATEGORY.
9:25:18PM THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FINDS THE REQUEST ADEQUATELY
9:25:23PM ADDRESSES THE POLICY DIRECTION RELATED TO DEVELOPMENT OF
9:25:25PM MIXED USE CENTERS AND CORRIDORS AND POLICIES THAT APPLY
9:25:28PM CITYWIDE.
9:25:28PM THE PROPOSED BUILDING IS SITUATED CLOSE TO HENDERSON
9:25:31PM BOULEVARD WITH AN ENTRANCE ORIENTED TOWARD HENDERSON
9:25:34PM BOULEVARD.
9:25:34PM THE COVERED PATIO IS PROPOSED ADJACENT TO THE SIDEWALK ALONG
9:25:37PM HENDERSON BOULEVARD SUPPORTING POLICIES THAT AIM TO IMPROVE
9:25:40PM THE PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE BY ACTIVELY ENGAGING THE PUBLIC
9:25:45PM REALM.
9:25:46PM THE PROPOSED PLAN ADDRESSES RELEVANT MOBILITY POLICIES.
9:25:51PM THE PD PROPOSES SIDEWALKS ADJACENT TO THE SITE ALONG CLARK
9:25:55PM AVENUE AND HENDERSON BOULEVARD AND PARKING SITUATED AT THE
9:25:59PM REAR OF THE DEVELOPMENT WITH VEHICULAR ACCESS FROM CLARK
9:26:02PM AVENUE, WHICH IS A DESIGN THAT IS SUPPORTED BY THE
9:26:04PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
9:26:05PM PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS DETERMINED THAT THE REQUEST
9:26:08PM WOULD CAUSE NO ADVERSE IMPACTS ON THE SURROUNDING
9:26:11PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
9:26:12PM AS MENTIONED, THIS PORTION OF HENDERSON BOULEVARD CONTAINS
9:26:15PM NONRESIDENTIAL USES.
9:26:17PM ADDITIONALLY, CLARK AVENUE CONTAINS A MIX OF NONRESIDENTIAL
9:26:21PM USES.
9:26:22PM NONRESIDENTIAL USES ARE SITUATED DIRECTLY TO THE WEST OF THE
9:26:25PM SITE ON CLARK AVENUE.
9:26:27PM IN SUMMARY, THE PROPOSED PD ZONING WOULD ALLOW FOR
9:26:30PM DEVELOPMENT AS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE CHARACTER
9:26:32PM OF THE SURROUNDING AREA AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
9:26:35PM DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ANTICIPATED UNDER THE CMU 35 FUTURE LAND
9:26:38PM USE DESIGNATION.
9:26:39PM BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
9:26:42PM FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS OBJECTIVES AND
9:26:44PM POLICIES OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
9:26:46PM THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
9:26:49PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:26:51PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: LaCHONE DOCK, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
9:26:53PM THE PD SITE PLAN WOULD ALLOW FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A
9:26:57PM 1,010-SQUARE-FOOT STRUCTURE ON-SITE.
9:27:00PM THE LOT CONTAINS 7,829 SQUARE FEET.
9:27:04PM THIS IS A ONE-STORY STRUCTURE WHICH IS PROPOSED.
9:27:07PM 16 PARKING SPACES ARE REQUIRED AND 8 PARKING SPACES ARE
9:27:12PM PROVIDED.
9:27:12PM I'LL SHOW YOU THE SITE PLAN, WHICH WAS SUBMITTED.
9:27:17PM THIS IS ACTUALLY NORTH ON THE PLAN.
9:27:20PM LET ME ZOOM OUT A LITTLE BIT.
9:27:24PM SO ON THE SITE PLAN, JUST FOR ORIENTATION, THIS IS HENDERSON
9:27:28PM BOULEVARD.
9:27:29PM THIS IS CLARK AVENUE.
9:27:31PM SO ENTRY TO THE SITE IS PROPOSED HERE ALONG THE WEST.
9:27:35PM THIS IS THE STRUCTURE HERE WHICH IS OUTLINED AND SHADED IN
9:27:40PM GRAY.
9:27:41PM AND THEN THIS IS THEIR OUTDOOR AREA THAT'S PROPOSED THE
9:27:45PM COVERED PATIO.
9:27:46PM THERE IS A WALKWAY WHICH IS PROPOSED TO LEAD TO THE PARKING
9:27:49PM AND THEN CONNECT TO THE SIDEWALKS THAT ARE ADJACENT TO THE
9:27:54PM SITE.
9:27:55PM ALSO A WALKWAY HAS BEEN ADDED HERE ALONG THE SOUTH.
9:27:59PM THERE ARE SURFACE PARKING SPACES THAT ARE LOCATED HERE
9:28:02PM ON-SITE.
9:28:03PM AND WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS JUST GO AHEAD AND SHOW YOU
9:28:05PM THE ELEVATIONS OF THE SITE.
9:28:07PM SO THE USE IS A RESTAURANT USE.
9:28:10PM CURRENTLY, THERE IS -- WELL, THERE IS A VACANT BUILDING ON
9:28:13PM THE SITE, BUT THIS WAS OLD CLEANER SITE.
9:28:16PM SO THIS IS ONE OF THE RENDERINGS THAT'S PROVIDED HERE.
9:28:27PM THIS IS THE SOUTH ELEVATION.
9:28:33PM BUT THIS GIVES YOU MORE DETAIL ON THE SOUTH ELEVATION THAT'S
9:28:37PM PROPOSED.
9:28:38PM THIS IS THE WEST ELEVATION.
9:28:40PM AND THEN THE NORTH ELEVATION LOCATED HERE.
9:28:44PM AND THEN THIS IS THE EAST ELEVATION.
9:28:48PM LET ME SHOW YOU THE AERIAL OF THE SITE.
9:28:56PM AGAIN, JUST TO SHOW YOU THE ZONING MAP.
9:28:58PM THIS IS THE SITE WHICH IS OUTLINED IN RED.
9:29:01PM THIS IS HENDERSON BOULEVARD THAT'S LOCATED HERE.
9:29:03PM THIS IS SOUTH CLARK.
9:29:06PM AND YOU CAN SEE THE CG COMMERCIAL GENERAL THAT EXISTS ALONG
9:29:09PM HENDERSON BOULEVARD.
9:29:10PM AS YOU HEAD FURTHER NORTH, YOU HAVE RESIDENTIAL OFFICE
9:29:14PM ZONING THAT'S LOCATED HERE THAT YOU TRANSITION TO THAT RS
9:29:17PM USE, THE RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY WITH THE 60 ZONING TO THE
9:29:22PM NORTH.
9:29:22PM TO THE SOUTH, SOUTH OF HENDERSON BOULEVARD, YOU HAVE THE RS
9:29:25PM 75 ZONING, WHICH EXISTS ALONG WITH THE RESIDENTIAL
9:29:29PM SINGLE-FAMILY USES.
9:29:30PM LOCATED IN THAT COMMUNITY.
9:29:34PM AND THEN HERE ARE A FEW PICTURES OF THE SITE.
9:29:38PM THIS IS WHAT'S CURRENTLY ON THE SITE NOW.
9:29:46PM THIS IS THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE SITE.
9:29:49PM SO THIS IS THE SITE AND THIS IS NORTHEAST CLARK THAT'S
9:29:56PM RUNNING HERE.
9:29:59PM THIS IS JUST ANOTHER VIEW TO SHOW YOU THAT THE NORTH END OF
9:30:02PM THE SITE, THAT'S IF YOU'RE LOOKING TOWARDS HENDERSON.
9:30:05PM HERE IS ANOTHER VIEW OF THE SITE THAT'S LOOKING NORTHEAST.
9:30:10PM THIS IS EAST OF THE SITE, THE COMMERCIAL THAT EXISTS.
9:30:16PM THIS IS ON CLARK THAT'S LOOKING NORTH ON CLARK.
9:30:21PM THE SITE IS TO THE RIGHT OF THE PICTURE.
9:30:25PM AND THIS IS WEST OF THE SITE, THE DAY CARE.
9:30:31PM AND THEN THIS IS A VIEW THAT'S ON HENDERSON THAT'S SOUTHWEST
9:30:35PM OF THE SITE.
9:30:36PM SO THE DRC STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FINDS THE
9:30:41PM REQUEST CONSISTENT.
9:30:41PM THERE ARE NO SITE PLAN MODIFICATIONS TO BE MADE.
9:30:43PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
9:30:44PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:30:47PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: OKAY.
9:30:49PM THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
9:30:49PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: APPLICANT.
9:30:54PM >> GOOD EVENING, ESTEEMED MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL.
9:30:57PM MY NAME IS SCOTT STEAGALL.
9:30:59PM 601 BAYSHORE BOULEVARD, SUITE 700 HERE ON BEHALF OF THE
9:31:02PM APPLICANT, SLAPSHOT MANAGEMENT GROUP LLC.
9:31:05PM WE'RE HERE FOR THE REZONING OF THIS PROPERTY FROM CG TO A PD
9:31:10PM AT 4075 HENDERSON BOULEVARD AND CLARK, AS YOU'VE BEEN TOLD.
9:31:14PM THE REASON WHY IT IS A PD, ACTUALLY, THE SITE USE OF A
9:31:18PM RESTAURANT THAT WE'RE CONVERTING IT TO IS COMPLETELY
9:31:22PM CONSISTENT WITH CG UNDER THE CODE AS IT SITS.
9:31:24PM HOWEVER BECAUSE OF THE IRREGULAR SIZE OF THE LOT, WE ARE
9:31:30PM REQUIRED TO COME FOR THE PD BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO NEED
9:31:33PM WAIVERS TO DEAL WITH IT MAINLY HAVING TO DO WITH PARKING.
9:31:36PM WE HAVE WORKED DILIGENTLY WITH DEVELOPMENT REVIEW STAFF AND
9:31:40PM THE PLANNING STAFF TO CREATE A SITE THAT'S BOTH CONSISTENT
9:31:44PM WITH SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS, THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE
9:31:47PM CODE AND THE COMP PLAN, AND THAT IS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH
9:31:50PM MULTIPLE LAND USE POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES.
9:31:53PM AS NOTED -- ZONING ON ALL FOUR SIDES NORTH, EAST, WEST, AND
9:32:01PM SOUTH OF THE SITE IS COMMERCIAL GENERAL ALSO.
9:32:03PM WE ARE LOOKING AGAIN TO GET FIVE WAIVERS, GIVEN THE
9:32:08PM IRREGULAR SIZE OF THE LOT, KEEP CALLING IT IRREGULAR.
9:32:11PM IT IS AN UNUSUAL TRIANGLE THAT YOU SEE THERE.
9:32:15PM BUT THE FIVE WAIVERS, TAKE THEM A LITTLE BIT OUT OF ORDER
9:32:18PM BECAUSE AGAIN THEY MAINLY DEAL WITH THE PARKING ACCESS
9:32:21PM ISSUES.
9:32:21PM FIRST ONE I'M TAKING IS THE FIFTH REQUESTED WAIVER THAT WE
9:32:24PM ARE REQUESTING, WAIVER TO REDUCE PARKING FROM 8 SPACES -- 16
9:32:28PM SPACES TO 8 SPACES.
9:32:31PM WE ACTUALLY WILL HAVE 12 SPACES.
9:32:33PM FOUR SPACES ALONG CLARK AVENUE THAT ARE ON-STREET PARKING
9:32:37PM WHICH ARE NOT TECHNICALLY ALLOWED TO BE INCLUDED AS PART OF
9:32:40PM THE PARKING BUT THEY WILL FACILITATE THE PARKING FOR THE
9:32:45PM FACILITY OR THE BUSINESS.
9:32:46PM AND THEY -- THE RESTAURANT WILL BE MAINLY POSITIONED AS A
9:32:54PM TAKE-OUT ON-SITE RESTAURANT AND IT WILL HAVE A SLIGHTLY LESS
9:32:58PM USE THAN A NORMAL RESTAURANT IN TERMS OF ON-SITE USE BECAUSE
9:33:01PM WE'RE FOCUSING ON MORE OF A PEDESTRIAN TYPE OF RESTAURANT
9:33:05PM USE.
9:33:06PM WE BELIEVE THAT FACILITIES WELL.
9:33:08PM WE ALSO HAVE ON-SITE BICYCLE RACK AND TWO SCOOTER STALLS TO
9:33:14PM SERVICE AGAIN THE PEDESTRIAN LIFESTYLE WE'RE TRYING TO FOCUS
9:33:18PM ON.
9:33:18PM THE NEXT WAIVER WE'RE LOOKING AT IS NUMBER TWO, WHICH IS A
9:33:21PM REQUEST TO ALLOW THE MANEUVERING IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
9:33:24PM BECAUSE OF THE TIGHT PARKING OR THE PARKING IN THE FACILITY
9:33:27PM AT THAT ANGLE, PEOPLE EITHER PULLING IN OR COMING OUT OR
9:33:30PM MAINLY COMING OUT, REVERSING OUT, HAVE TO BACK OUT ONTO
9:33:34PM CLARK AVENUE.
9:33:35PM REALLY BACKING OUT TO IS IN THAT AREA WHERE THE ON-STREET
9:33:40PM PARKING IS ALREADY IS, SO NOT INTO THE MAIN STREET, INTO THE
9:33:44PM RIGHT-OF-WAY, THE ON-SITE PARKING.
9:33:47PM THE THIRD WAIVER THAT WE'LL BE SEEKING IS NUMBER THREE, TO
9:33:52PM ACCOMMODATE THE ON-STREET PARKING AND FIVE-FOOT SIDEWALK.
9:33:55PM WE'RE REQUESTING TO REDUCE THE 8-FOOT VEHICULAR USE AREA.
9:34:01PM THE VUA, TO ZERO ALONG THE CLARK AVENUE.
9:34:05PM AS, AGAIN, WE'RE DEALING WITH THIS UNIQUE SITE SHAPE THAT
9:34:09PM WE'RE WORKING ON.
9:34:09PM THE FOURTH WAIVER REQUEST IS NUMBER ONE, ALSO CONSISTENT
9:34:16PM WITH THE BUILDING FORWARD DESIGN THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR
9:34:19PM PEDESTRIAN USE.
9:34:20PM THE FRONT ENTRANCE CREATED TOWARDS HENDERSON BOULEVARD,
9:34:25PM WHICH PLACES THE COMMERCIAL BUILDING FURTHER AWAY FROM ANY
9:34:29PM OTHER RESIDENTIAL USES TO THE BACK SIDE OF THE FACILITY.
9:34:35PM AND WE ARE SEEKING TO REDUCE THE SETBACK OF 45 FEET TO 35
9:34:41PM FEET TO ACCOMMODATE THAT.
9:34:42PM THAT ALLOWS US TO AGAIN FACILITATE THE PATIO AREA AND THE
9:34:48PM REAR OF THE BUILDING.
9:34:49PM AGAIN, FOCUSED FOR PEDESTRIAN USE.
9:34:52PM THE FINAL WAIVER THAT WE'RE REQUESTING IS A REMOVAL OF A ONE
9:34:58PM NON-HAZARDOUS GRAND OAK THAT HAS TWO LARGE CUTS AND MINOR
9:35:03PM DIE BACK IN THE CROWN, ASPHALT COVERING ABOUT HALF OF THE
9:35:07PM ACTUAL SURFACE AREA AROUND THE TREE.
9:35:09PM THE APPLICANT WILL PLANT NEW TREES AS PART OF THIS PROJECT,
9:35:14PM AND IS PROVIDING 3200 FEET OF GREENSPACE WITH ONLY 562 FEET
9:35:21PM ACTUALLY REQUIRED.
9:35:22PM THAT PROCESS WILL BE COMPLETED BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND
9:35:25PM READING.
9:35:26PM AS NOTED, WE WORKED ARDUOUSLY WITH DEVELOPMENT STAFF AND
9:35:32PM PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACTS OF THE
9:35:35PM REQUESTED WAIVERS AND STAFF HAS SIGNED OFF ON THOSE OR
9:35:40PM SUPPORTED THE PROJECT WITH ONLY -- ONLY FOUND INCONSISTENCY
9:35:48PM WITH TRANSPORTATION WHICH IS WHY THE WAIVERS ARE BEING
9:35:51PM SOUGHT.
9:35:51PM THE REQUESTED WAIVERS WILL NOT SUBSTANTIALLY INTERFERE WITH
9:35:54PM THE OTHER PROPERTY USES IN THE AREA AND ARE IN HARMONY WITH
9:36:00PM THE INTENT OF THE CODE.
9:36:01PM WE BELIEVE ALLOWING THE WAIVERS WILL RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL
9:36:05PM JUSTICE AND ALLEVIATING THE HARDSHIPS IMPOSED BY THE
9:36:08PM UNIQUENESS OF THE SITE AND ALLOW FOR A VERY GREAT ADDITION
9:36:12PM TO SOUTH TAMPA RESIDENTS WITH NEW HAT RICK'S OUT ON
9:36:17PM HENDERSON.
9:36:18PM AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS.
9:36:19PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE GENTLEMAN?
9:36:21PM NO.
9:36:22PM ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM?
9:36:25PM ITEM NUMBER 8?
9:36:26PM YES, MA'AM, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
9:36:31PM >> GOOD EVENING.
9:36:33PM I DIDN'T REALLY INTEND TO SPEAK TONIGHT.
9:36:35PM I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT NOBODY EVACUATES FROM A RESTAURANT,
9:36:40PM SO I SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.
9:36:41PM STEPHANIE POYNOR.
9:36:48PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:36:49PM ANYBODY ELSE?
9:36:49PM ANY COMMENTS, QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
9:36:52PM IF NOT, I'LL ASK FOR A MOTION TO CLOSE.
9:36:55PM DO YOU NEED REBUTTAL OR ANYTHING?
9:36:57PM WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
9:37:03PM SECOND FROM COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON.
9:37:04PM ALL IN FAVOR?
9:37:05PM AYE.
9:37:06PM COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK, WOULD YOU MIND READING ITEM NUMBER 8?
9:37:14PM >>LYNN HURTAK: FILE NUMBER REZ-23-90, ORDINANCE BEING
9:37:18PM PRESENTED FOR FIRST READING CONSIDERATION, AN ORDINANCE
9:37:21PM REZONING PROPERTY IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF 4075 HENDERSON

9:37:30PM CLASSIFICATION CG, COMMERCIAL GENERAL, TO PD, PLANNED

9:37:39PM INCLUDING THE REVISION SHEET.
9:37:43PM THE REASON THAT -- OH, OKAY.
9:37:46PM NO REVISION SHEET.
9:37:48PM I'M JUST GETTING USED TO THAT.
9:37:49PM I'M TRYING.
9:37:53PM AND I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK TO THE NEED OF WAIVERS AND THAT I
9:38:00PM FIND THE COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 27-139, SUBSECTION 4, THE
9:38:09PM DESIGN OR THE LAND IS UNIQUE AND THEREFORE IN NEED OF
9:38:13PM WAIVERS, SPECIFICALLY THE DESIGN IS RESPONSIVE TO THE ODD
9:38:16PM SHAPE OF THE LOT AND THE SPECIAL STREET SETBACKS
9:38:19PM REQUIREMENTS ALONG HENDERSON BOULEVARD AND THE REQUESTED
9:38:22PM WAIVERS WILL NOT SUBSTANTIALLY INTERFERE WITH OR INJURE THE
9:38:25PM RIGHTS OF OTHERS WHOSE PROPERTY WOULD BE AFFECTED BY THE
9:38:28PM WAIVERS.
9:38:28PM AND THE WAIVERS FROM NATURAL RESOURCE REGULATION ARE
9:38:30PM MITIGATED BY THE FACT THAT THE SITE IS PROVIDING ALMOST

9:39:45PM THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM PD, PLANNED
9:39:51PM DEVELOPMENT, WHICH CURRENTLY ALLOWS FOR A MIXTURE OF
9:39:55PM RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES.
9:39:56PM THE REQUEST IS FOR A PD, AND THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR RETAIL
9:40:00PM SALES, ALL COMMERCIAL GENERAL USES IN ADDITION TO
9:40:04PM RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY HOTEL AND MOTEL USES ON-SITE.
9:40:08PM THE CURRENT PD ENCOMPASSES JUST THE EASTERN HALF OF THE

9:40:16PM I'LL LET DANNY SHOW YOU THE PROPERTY.
9:40:18PM THIS PD ENCOMPASSES THE ENTIRE PARCEL AND CHANGES TO BE MADE

9:40:27PM YES, SIR.
9:40:36PM >> DANNY COLLINS WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
9:40:38PM I WAS SWORN IN.
9:40:39PM NEXT CASE IS IN THE WESTSHORE PLANNING DISTRICT AND WITHIN

9:40:44PM THE SITE IS WITHIN THE COASTAL PLANNING AREA.
9:40:46PM IT'S WITHIN EVACUATION ZONE A IN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD
9:40:51PM AREA.
9:40:51PM HERE IS AN AERIAL MAP OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
9:40:54PM IT IS THE WESTSHORE PLAZA, JUST SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 275.
9:40:59PM IT IS ALONG KENNEDY BOULEVARD AND SOUTH WEST SHORE
9:41:02PM BOULEVARD.
9:41:03PM THE SURROUNDING AREA IS PREDOMINANTLY NONRESIDENTIAL IN
9:41:07PM CHARACTER.
9:41:07PM HERE IS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
9:41:13PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS RECOGNIZED UNDER THE REGIONAL MIXED USE
9:41:16PM 100 DESIGNATION.
9:41:17PM THAT DESIGNATION IS ONE OF THE MORE INTENSIVE OR THE MOST
9:41:22PM INTENSIVE MIXED USE CATEGORY IN THE CITY.
9:41:24PM IT SURROUNDS THE SUBJECT SITE ON ALL SIDES.
9:41:29PM AS YOU TRANSITION OFF OF KENNEDY, YOU GET INTO A RESIDENTIAL
9:41:32PM 6 NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEN OFF OF WESTSHORE BOULEVARD IT
9:41:35PM TRANSITIONS TO RESIDENTIAL 20, SORRY, 35 AND THEN 20.
9:41:40PM PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FINDS THE
9:41:44PM PROPOSED USES AND INTENSITY CONSISTENT WITH THE URBAN
9:41:46PM DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ANTICIPATED IN THIS AREA OF THE CITY.
9:41:50PM THE RMU 100 DESIGNATION SUPPORTS HIGH INTENSITY AND DENSITY
9:41:54PM HIGH-RISE RESIDENTIAL, MAJOR OFFICE AND REGIONAL SERVING
9:41:58PM COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND GENERALLY FOUND IN AREAS
9:42:00PM SUPPORTED BY MAJOR TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES.
9:42:03PM TRANSPORTATION INVESTMENT HAS OCCURRED WITHIN PROXIMITY OF
9:42:06PM THE SUBJECT SITE.
9:42:07PM THE SITE IS SITUATED JUST EAST OF AN ON-RAMP TO INTERSTATE
9:42:12PM 275.
9:42:13PM ADDITIONALLY, THE SUBJECT SITE IS ADJACENT TO SOUTH DALE
9:42:15PM MABRY HIGHWAY.
9:42:17PM TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDOR SUITABLE FOR REDEVELOPMENT
9:42:20PM INTENSIFICATION.
9:42:21PM ACTUALLY, THAT IS WESTSHORE BOULEVARD.
9:42:25PM I APOLOGIZE.
9:42:26PM SUBJECT SITE SHOULD ADDRESS THE MIXED USE CENTERS AND
9:42:31PM CORRIDOR POLICIES PROVIDED IN THE PLAN WHILE MANY OF THE
9:42:33PM STREETS ARE LABELED AS INTERNAL PRIVATE STREETS ON THE SITE
9:42:36PM PLAN, IT WAS CONFIRMED THROUGH AN E-MAIL WITH THE APPLICANT
9:42:40PM ON MARCH 1st THAT ADDITIONAL CRITERIA WILL BE PROVIDED,
9:42:45PM NOTES ADDED TO THE SITE PLAN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
9:42:48PM READINGS.
9:42:48PM THESE CRITERIA WILL SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS SETBACKS AND THE
9:42:52PM INCLUSION OF STREET TREES ALONG THE INTERNAL PRIVATE
9:42:55PM STREETS.
9:42:55PM THESE CRITERIA WILL MEET THE INTENT OF THE POLICIES
9:42:58PM PROMOTING DEVELOPMENT AND MIXED USE CENTERS AND CORRIDORS
9:43:00PM AND WITHIN THE CITY'S EMPLOYMENT CENTERS.
9:43:03PM I DO WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT -- I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
9:43:07PM THOSE ARE PROVIDED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
9:43:10PM THE PROPOSED REZONING SUPPORTS MANY OF THE POLICIES IN THE
9:43:14PM COMP PLAN AS IT RELATES TO HOUSING THE CITY'S POPULATION.
9:43:18PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ENCOURAGES NEW HOUSING ON VACANT AND
9:43:20PM UNDERUTILIZED LAND TO ENSURE THERE IS AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF
9:43:24PM HOUSING TO MEET POPULATION DEMANDS.
9:43:25PM THE REQUEST WILL ADD ADDITIONAL HOUSING WITHIN THE WESTSHORE
9:43:28PM PLANNING DISTRICT AND THE WESTSHORE BUSINESS DISTRICT, WHICH
9:43:32PM IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PLAN.
9:43:33PM BASED ON THE ABOVE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION
9:43:37PM STAFF FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS OBJECTIVES
9:43:40PM AND POLICIES OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
9:43:42PM THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
9:43:43PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, ANY QUESTIONS?
9:43:45PM MS. DOCK.
9:43:49PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
9:43:51PM I WOULD LIKE TO PUT UP AN AERIAL OF THE SITE TO SHOW YOU THE
9:43:57PM ZONING MAP.
9:43:59PM THIS IS THE SITE WHICH IS LOCATED HERE IN RED.
9:44:01PM THIS IS 275 THAT'S TO THE NORTH.
9:44:04PM THIS IS WESTSHORE BOULEVARD THAT'S LOCATED HERE, AND THIS IS
9:44:07PM KENNEDY.
9:44:07PM SO THIS IS THE WESTSHORE PLAZA PROPERTY.
9:44:10PM SO THE SITE IS CURRENTLY ZONED PD, THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
9:44:15PM DOES ALLOW FOR A MIXTURE OF USES AS MENTIONED EARLIER.
9:44:18PM THE DEVELOPMENT WOULD HAVE ENCOMPASSED THE EASTERN PORTION
9:44:21PM OF THE SITE.
9:44:22PM IF YOU'LL REMEMBER THE OLD SEARS WAS LOCATED ON THE EAST AND
9:44:26PM THEN IT WOULD HAVE PROPOSED -- IT ALLOWS FOR DEVELOPMENT ON
9:44:30PM THIS SURFACE PARKING THAT EXISTS AND THE OUTPARCELS THAT ARE
9:44:33PM ON THE EAST ALONG WESTSHORE BOULEVARD.
9:44:37PM WHAT'S CURRENTLY BEFORE YOU WILL ALLOW REDEVELOPMENT OF THE
9:44:41PM SITE FOR THE ENTIRE SITE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE PARKING
9:44:45PM GARAGE THAT EXISTS HERE AND THE MACY'S STORE WHICH IS
9:44:48PM LOCATED NORTHWEST OVER THE SITE.
9:44:52PM SO THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS THAT ARE PROPOSED ARE A TOTAL OF
9:44:56PM 1,765 UNITS.
9:45:00PM THE MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT PROPOSED IS 190 FEET.
9:45:05PM DANNY HAS ALREADY PROPOSED TO YOU AND PRESENTED THAT THIS
9:45:07PM HAS A FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF AN RMU 100.
9:45:11PM THE ACTUAL PARKING THAT'S GOING TO BE REQUIRED FOR THE USE
9:45:18PM IS 6,431 SPACES AND 9,184 SPACES WILL BE PROVIDED.
9:45:24PM ON SITE.
9:45:26PM SO THIS SITE ALLOWS ON PAGE 3 OF THE STAFF REPORT, AND I CAN
9:45:32PM JUST PUT IT HERE ON THE OVERHEAD TO SEE.
9:45:37PM I DON'T WANT TO READ EVERY USE JUST GIVEN THE TIME, UNLESS
9:45:41PM COUNCIL WANTS ME TO.
9:45:42PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE READ THEM ALL SLOWLY.
9:45:47PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: AND THE SQUARE FEET.
9:45:48PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THIS IS THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT SQUARE
9:45:50PM FOOTAGE.
9:45:51PM THIS IS THE BREAKOUT.
9:45:52PM AND THESE ARE THE MAXIMUM ENTITLEMENTS.
9:45:54PM AND THESE ENTITLEMENTS COULD BE TRADED OFF THROUGH AN
9:45:58PM EQUIVALENCY MATRIX PROVIDED IN THE SITE PLAN ITSELF.
9:46:02PM WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO ALSO IS JUST SHOW YOU THE SITE PLAN
9:46:05PM JUST TO SHOW YOU THE ORIENTATION OF THE BUILDINGS ON-SITE.
9:46:08PM SO THIS, OF COURSE, IS LOCATED WITHIN THE WESTSHORE OVERLAY
9:46:12PM IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE OVERLAY DISTRICT STANDARDS ARE
9:46:16PM REQUIRED.
9:46:17PM ONE THING TO MENTION AND NOTICE THAT THERE IS A FINDING FROM
9:46:20PM URBAN DESIGN OF INCONSISTENT.
9:46:23PM IT IS RELATING TO THE OPEN SPACE AND THE OPEN SPACE
9:46:28PM REQUIREMENT IN THE CODE TO BE PLACED ON THE CORNER, WHICH IS
9:46:31PM ON THIS LOCATION.
9:46:32PM OF THE SITE.
9:46:34PM BUT THE APPLICANT IS PROVIDING OPEN SPACE.
9:46:37PM I'LL SHOW YOU ON THE SITE PLAN.
9:46:39PM THIS DOES SATISFY THIS REQUIREMENT SO THE URBAN DESIGN
9:46:42PM FINDING IS CONSISTENT AND THE WAIVER THAT IS REQUESTED FROM
9:46:45PM URBAN DESIGN TO BE PLACED ON THE SITE PLAN BETWEEN FIRST AND
9:46:48PM SECOND READING IS NO LONGER NECESSARY.
9:46:50PM SO THIS IS -- WITH THIS, LET ME SHOW YOU THE SITE PLAN.
9:46:58PM IT IS FAIRLY LARGE, SO I'M JUST GOING TO GIVE YOU THE
9:47:01PM OVERVIEW TO SHOW YOU THE BUILDING LAYOUT.
9:47:03PM THIS IS PROPOSED.
9:47:04PM THIS IS THE ENTIRE PARCEL BOUNDARY LOCATED ON THE SITE.
9:47:10PM AND THE WAY THE DEVELOPMENT IS PROPOSED IN THE SITE PLAN IS
9:47:13PM THESE BLOCKS ARE IDENTIFIED.
9:47:15PM THESE BLOCKS WOULD BE CONTAINED INTERNAL TO THE SITE.
9:47:21PM THESE ARE PRIVATE ROADWAYS WHICH WILL EXIST WITHIN THE SITE.
9:47:25PM SO YOU CAN SEE LIKE THEY START FROM BLOCK A AND THEY GO UP
9:47:30PM TO BLOCK N.
9:47:31PM PROPOSED PARKING GARAGES HERE.
9:47:33PM YOU CAN SEE THE EXISTING MACY'S BUILDING IS IDENTIFIED TO
9:47:36PM REMAIN ALONG WITH THE EXISTING PARKING GARAGE.
9:47:38PM THE REST ARE NEW STRUCTURES TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON-SITE.
9:47:42PM THERE IS A LAGOON DISTRICT WHICH IS LOCATED HERE.
9:47:47PM AND THEN THIS IS THE OPEN SPACE AREA THAT'S PROVIDED HERE.
9:47:52PM THROUGHOUT THE SITE, THERE'S SOME SURFACE AND GARAGE PARKING
9:47:56PM THAT'S PROVIDED.
9:47:59PM I'LL SHOW YOU SOME OF THE ELEVATIONS ON-SITE JUST TO KIND OF
9:48:05PM GIVE YOU AN IDEA.
9:48:09PM WHAT I'VE CHOSEN IS TO SHOW YOU -- SO THIS IS ON WESTSHORE.
9:48:13PM THIS IS THE OVERALL KEY OF THE SITE AND THIS, WHICH IS
9:48:17PM HIGHLIGHTED IN RED, THAT IS THIS BUILDING.
9:48:20PM ON WESTSHORE, THIS IS THE NORTH ELEVATION THAT'S SHOWN AND
9:48:23PM THIS IS THE SOUTH ELEVATION.
9:48:25PM AND AT THE BOTTOM, THIS IS THE WEST ELEVATION AND THIS IS
9:48:28PM THE EAST ELEVATION.
9:48:30PM AND THEN FURTHER SOUTH OF THAT BUILDING JUST TO THE SOUTH,
9:48:36PM THIS IS AN ELEVATION JUST TO SHOW YOU THIS IS THE NORTH
9:48:40PM ELEVATION.
9:48:42PM THE SOUTH ELEVATION.
9:48:46PM THIS IS THE EAST.
9:48:48PM AND THEN THIS IS THE WEST.
9:48:50PM AND YOU CAN SEE THE GROUND LEVEL.
9:48:53PM THIS FACADE THAT'S FRONTING WESTSHORE BOULEVARD AND THAT
9:48:56PM TREATMENT OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AND IT'S PROVIDING YOU WITH
9:48:59PM THE TRANSPARENCY REQUIREMENT OF AT LEAST 50%.
9:49:02PM THIS IS AT THE CORNER.
9:49:06PM SO THIS IS DEALING WITH THAT AREA WHERE I JUST POINTED OUT
9:49:09PM WITH THE OPEN SPACE.
9:49:10PM SO THIS IS THE SOUTH ELEVATION IN THE UPPER LEFT.
9:49:14PM THIS IS THE NORTH ELEVATION.
9:49:17PM AND THEN THIS IS THE WEST ELEVATION AND THEN THIS IS THE
9:49:21PM EAST ELEVATION.
9:49:23PM AND THEN I HAVE PICTURES OF THE SITE TO SHOW.
9:49:30PM ONE MORE ELEVATION TO SHOW JUST OF THE INTERIOR OF THE SITE.
9:49:34PM THIS ONE IS JUST THE SOUTHERN LEG OF THE DEVELOPMENT.
9:49:44PM THIS IS THE EAST ELEVATION AT THE TOP.
9:49:48PM THIS IS THE WEST ELEVATION, AND THIS IS THE SOUTH AND THEN
9:49:54PM THE NORTH ELEVATION.
9:49:57PM AGAIN, THEY ARE SHOWING THAT MEETING OF THE 50% TRANSPARENCY
9:50:01PM AND THE 70% REQUIREMENT TO PROVIDE SOME SORT OF
9:50:06PM ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES TO BREAK UP THE WALL.
9:50:09PM AND THEN THESE ARE PICTURES OF THE SITE.
9:50:16PM SO THAT IS THE CURRENT SITE THAT EXISTS, OF COURSE.
9:50:19PM TO THE SOUTHWEST.
9:50:22PM THIS IS KIND OF CENTRAL ON THE SITE.
9:50:24PM I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH ALL BECAUSE I THINK WE'RE
9:50:26PM FAMILIAR WITH THE SITE.
9:50:27PM THIS IS SOUTH OF THE SITE, THE RETAIL SALES, THE PUBLIX.
9:50:33PM NORTHEAST OF THE SITE.
9:50:41PM AND THIS END OF THE SITE WOULD REMAIN.
9:50:43PM SAYING THIS END OF THE SITE, THE STRUCTURE THAT IS HERE,
9:50:49PM THAT IS OUTSIDE OF THE SITE PROPERTY THAT IS THE CUT OUT AT
9:50:54PM THE NORTH.
9:50:55PM THIS IS THE NORTH END OF THE SITE.
9:50:58PM 275 IS BORDERING RIGHT THERE.
9:51:01PM THIS IS THE MACY'S SITE, THE AREA TO REMAIN.
9:51:05PM THAT IS THE STRUCTURE TO REMAIN.
9:51:07PM DRC STAFF REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FINDS THE REQUEST
9:51:18PM CONSISTENT BECAUSE OF THE URBAN DESIGN.
9:51:21PM URBAN DESIGN WAS INCONSISTENT BUT THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED.
9:51:26PM THERE IS A TOTAL OF THREE WAIVERS REQUESTED INSTEAD OF FOUR
9:51:30PM WAIVERS THAT ARE LISTED.
9:51:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHAT ARE THE WAIVERS?
9:51:33PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THE WAIVER, THERE IS ONE WAIVER TO REDUCE
9:51:36PM THE TREE RETENTION FROM 25% TO 2% FOR A LOT OVER AN ACRE IN
9:51:42PM THE WESTSHORE OVERLAY.
9:51:43PM THERE IS A WAIVER TO WAIVE THE SPECIES REQUIREMENT BECAUSE
9:51:49PM THEY ARE GOING TO USE A STREET TREE THAT'S MORE APPROPRIATE
9:51:53PM ON WESTSHORE BOULEVARD.
9:51:54PM AND THEY ARE REDUCING THE NUMBER OF STREET TREES FROM 37 TO
9:51:59PM 32 AND THE REQUIRED BUFFER.
9:52:02PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:52:02PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THERE ARE SITE PLAN MODIFICATIONS TO BE MADE
9:52:05PM BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
9:52:07PM I HAVE A REVISED REVISION SHEET.
9:52:09PM THE APPLICANT WAS WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY AND HAS MADE
9:52:11PM ADDITIONAL AGREEMENT TO MAKE CHANGES TO THE PLAN BETWEEN
9:52:13PM FIRST AND SECOND READING, SO I'M GOING TO HAND OUT A REVISED
9:52:17PM SHEET.
9:52:17PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS. DOCK?
9:52:20PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
9:52:23PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
9:52:28PM >> GOOD EVENING, TRUETT GARDNER.
9:52:29PM GARDNER BREWER HUDSON, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
9:52:33PM WHILE ADDIE IS SETTING THIS UP, LaCHONE IS HANDING OUT THE
9:52:36PM REVISIONS TO THE REVISION SHEET.
9:52:40PM AS SHE MENTIONED, THERE'S ONE ADDITION IN THERE THAT WE
9:52:44PM ADDED IN ON BEHALF OF THE BEACH PARK NEIGHBORHOOD
9:52:47PM ASSOCIATION.
9:52:48PM IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH HART, JUSTIN
9:52:50PM WHO WAS HERE EARLIER, AND THERE IS A HART TRANSFER STATION.
9:52:56PM WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS INCORPORATED IN THE NEW PLAN.
9:52:59PM SO MARTY, IF YOU WILL, I'LL HAND YOU THIS NOTE WHICH IS IN
9:53:03PM ADDITION TO THE REVISION SHEET ON THE HART NOTE ALONE.
9:53:06PM I'LL GIVE HER ONE, BUT SHE'S AWARE OF IT.
9:53:11PM AGAIN, TRUETT GARDNER, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
9:53:35PM HONORED TO BE HERE IN FRONT OF THIS TEAM THAT'S BEEN WORKING
9:53:38PM HARD AT THIS SINCE REALLY LAST JULY.
9:53:41PM WASHINGTON PRIME GROUP IS THE DEVELOPER, THE OWNER OF THE
9:53:44PM MALL PROPERTY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE MACY'S.
9:53:46PM LISA CALLAHAN IS GOING TO BE HERE TO PRESENT IT AND REALLY
9:53:51PM PUT FORTH THE VISION.
9:53:52PM KIMLEY-HORN IS THE ENGINEERING TEAM.
9:53:54PM WE'VE GOT THEIR WHOLE SQUAD HERE, SO IF ANY OF THOSE
9:53:58PM QUESTIONS COME UP.
9:53:58PM NELSON IS THE ARCHITECT.
9:54:00PM WE HAVE RICH WILBEN WHO IS APPEARING VIRTUALLY.
9:54:03PM RICKY PETERIKA IS HERE FROM DARK MOSS.
9:54:09PM AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST, RANDY COEN WITH COEN AND
9:54:10PM COMPANY ON TRAFFIC.
9:54:13PM THIS IS THE SITE LOOKING QUITE OLD AND TIRED WITH A LOT OF
9:54:18PM ASPHALT AS IT IS.
9:54:18PM TO ORIENT YOU, YOU'VE GOT WESTSHORE ON THE EAST, KENNEDY ON
9:54:22PM THE SOUTH.
9:54:23PM MEMORIAL HIGHWAY ON THE WEST AND THEN 275 ON THE NORTH.
9:54:29PM TOTAL OF 53.3 ACRES WAS BUILT IN THE 1960s.
9:54:34PM TO AGE MYSELF ALONG WITH THE SITE I BOUGHT MY FIRST CASSETTE
9:54:37PM TAPES AT THE WESTSHORE MALL, INCLUDING VAN HALEN 1984 AND
9:54:44PM THE ONE AND ONLY U2 JOSHUA TREE, WHICH I REMEMBER ALL TOO
9:54:49PM WELL, AND I THINK I ALSO BOUGHT A PAIR OF ACID WASHED JEANS
9:54:57PM AT THE BURDINES.
9:55:00PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WASN'T IT A MAAS BROTHERS THEN?
9:55:03PM >> AS MENTIONED BEFORE, WE ARE ALONG A MIXED USE TRANSIT
9:55:07PM EMPHASIS CORRIDOR, AND SO FAST-FORWARD INTO THIS, AS DANNY
9:55:13PM MENTIONED, WE ARE IN THE RMU 100 CATEGORY, THE MOST DENSE
9:55:18PM CATEGORY OUTSIDE OF THE CBD.
9:55:21PM THIS SHOWS THE OUTLINE OF THE MALL PROPERTY OF THE PD AND
9:55:25PM EXCEPTING OUT ONE THE LARGE OFFICE BUILDING THAT LaCHONE
9:55:30PM SHOWED IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER AND THEN SECONDLY THE LITTLE
9:55:33PM WEDGE ON THE SOUTH WHICH IS THE GAS STATION, AGAIN, NOT PART
9:55:38PM OF THE PD.
9:55:39PM SO FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK LaCHONE.
9:55:47PM THIS IS THE COPY OF OUR SITE PLAN WHICH APPEARS TO BE ALMOST
9:55:51PM A PERMIT SET.
9:55:52PM IT IS ONE OF THE MOST CONVOLUTED PLANS.
9:55:55PM WE'LL TRY TO MAKE THE COMPLEX SIMPLE BUT WANTED TO THANK HER
9:55:58PM FOR RETURNING OUR CALLS AND E-MAILS.
9:56:00PM IF I WAS HER, I WOULD PROBABLY JUST IGNORE US.
9:56:03PM BUT REALLY WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO THE END OF WHAT WE'RE
9:56:07PM PROPOSING TO DO, AS SHE MENTIONED, THE PD HAS BEEN APPROVED.
9:56:11PM WE'RE MODIFYING THE PD.
9:56:13PM THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS THE PD AS APPROVED IN 2020 REALLY ONLY
9:56:17PM CONTEMPLATED THE EASTERN SIDE.
9:56:19PM WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS TAKE A WHOLESALE APPROACH TO THIS ON
9:56:23PM WHAT WOULD THE MALL BE LIKE IF IT WAS COMPLETELY REDEVELOPED
9:56:27PM WHICH I THINK MAKES FOR A MUCH MORE COHESIVE, MUCH MORE
9:56:31PM THOUGHTFUL PLAN AND REALLY THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING.
9:56:34PM SECONDLY, IN LOOKING AT THE WESTSHORE AREA, MEDICAL IS
9:56:40PM COMPLETELY UNDERSERVED AND SO ADDING THE OPTION OF PROVIDING
9:56:43PM A MEDICAL DISTRICT WITHIN THIS 53-ACRE SITE WHICH IS
9:56:48PM COMPLETELY UNIQUE GIVEN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT OF THE AREA
9:56:51PM AND GIVEN ITS PROXIMITY TO THE AIRPORT AS WELL AS THIS IS
9:56:55PM THE LARGEST BY SQUARE FOOTAGE OFFICE DISTRICT IN THE STATE
9:56:58PM OF FLORIDA.
9:56:58PM WHAT WE ARE NOT CHANGING IS WE ARE NOT FURTHER INTENSIFYING
9:57:04PM OR DENSIFYING THE SITE NOR ADDING ANY ADDITIONAL TRIPS
9:57:07PM THROUGH THIS.
9:57:08PM IN FACT, ALL THE USES ARE APPROVED UNDER CG, SO REALLY THE
9:57:12PM MODIFICATIONS THAT WE'RE DOING ARE TO THE LAND USE
9:57:15PM EQUIVALENCY MATRIX, AND BASICALLY GIVING THE ABILITY TO SWAP
9:57:20PM IN AND OUT AND DEFINING WHAT THOSE USES ARE.
9:57:22PM WITH THAT, I'LL TURN THINGS OVER TO ADDIE CLARK.
9:57:27PM SHE'LL RUN THROUGH -- CHAIRMAN YOU MENTIONED THE WAIVERS.
9:57:30PM HIT ON THOSE THREE.
9:57:31PM AGAIN, ALL RELATED TO NATURAL RESOURCES.
9:57:34PM AS YOU'LL NOTE, NATURAL RESOURCES IS SUPPORTING THIS.
9:57:36PM I'LL LET ADDIE RUN THROUGH BRIEFLY THE FINDINGS OF STAFF,
9:57:41PM THE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD AND THEN ALSO BRIEFLY ON THE
9:57:44PM WAIVERS.
9:57:46PM >>BILL CARLSON: TRUETT, SO I WAS HERE WHEN WE VOTED ON IT IN
9:57:50PM 2020.
9:57:50PM DO YOU HAVE A PLAN THAT SHOWS SIMPLY WHAT WE APPROVED IN
9:57:57PM 2020 VERSUS WHAT YOU'RE ADDING TODAY?
9:57:59PM BECAUSE IT'S NOT GOING FROM THE MALL -- WE ALREADY APPROVED
9:58:05PM SOME OF THE ELEVATIONS ON THE EASTERN SIDE, SO WE'RE NOT
9:58:08PM APPROVING THAT NEW TODAY, RIGHT?
9:58:10PM >> REALLY, I'M PROBABLY GOING TO DESTROY THIS PowerPoint
9:58:15PM PRESENTATION, BUT I WAS GOING TO GET TO THAT ONE THAT JUST
9:58:18PM SHOWS -- GREAT QUESTION, MR. CARLSON.
9:58:23PM REALLY WHAT YOU DID IN 2020 IS GOING BACK TO THE ZONING
9:58:27PM BEFORE, APPROVED ALL CG USES.
9:58:30PM 2020 THEN INCORPORATES THE LAND USE EQUIVALENCY MATRIX, THE
9:58:33PM SAME DENSITY, INTENSITY THAT WE'RE REQUESTING, THE NUMBER OF
9:58:36PM TRIPS.
9:58:37PM RANDY COEN HERE, THE TRAFFIC STUDY WE USED THEN, DID NOT
9:58:41PM HAVE TO BE UPDATED BECAUSE WE'RE NOT INTENSIFYING THE SITE.
9:58:44PM REALLY WHAT THE SITE DID THEN WAS JUST THIS PORTION ON THE
9:58:49PM EAST SIDE WAS CONTEMPLATED FOR DEVELOPMENT.
9:58:51PM REALLY THEY WERE BRINGING THAT FORWARD KNOWING THAT IF THEY
9:58:54PM WENT WITH A WHOLESALE APPROACH FOR THE DEVELOPMENT, WHILE WE
9:58:57PM DIDN'T NEED ANY ADDITIONAL DENSITY, IN ORDER TO TAP INTO
9:59:00PM THAT WEST SIDE WE WOULD NEED THIS WHOLESALE APPROACH AND
9:59:03PM THAT'S WHAT WE'RE BRINGING FORWARD TONIGHT.
9:59:05PM >>BILL CARLSON: DO YOU HAVE AN ELEVATION OF WHAT WE APPROVED
9:59:07PM IN 2020?
9:59:12PM >> IT WOULD BE IN THAT 2020 PACKAGE, BUT THIS IS JUST KIND
9:59:17PM OF --
9:59:18PM >>BILL CARLSON: SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU.
9:59:19PM I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT IT'S A PD IN A DIFFERENT PD.
9:59:27PM IN TERMS OF DENSITY WE APPROVED ALREADY FOUR YEARS AGO AT
9:59:29PM LEAST A THIRD OF IT OR MORE.
09:59:34PM >> YES.
09:59:36PM AGAIN, NOT BEATING A DEAD HORSE HERE, BUT THE OVERALL OF
09:59:41PM INTENSITY WAS IMPROVED, BUT THIS WAS UNLOCKED IN 2020.
09:59:46PM THIS, IF APPROVED, WILL ALLOW US TO UNLOCK THE ENTIRE SITE.
09:59:51PM THE POWERPOINT.
09:59:54PM >> WE HAVE AN EXAMPLE OF A ELEVATION IN 2020 IF YOU WANT TO
09:59:59PM SEE IT.
09:59:59PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.
10:00:03PM >> ADDIE CLARK, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
10:00:07PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO, IT IS THERE.
10:00:09PM WE GOT IT.
10:00:09PM >> OH, YOU GOT IT.
10:00:12PM THE ELMO?
10:00:13PM IT'S ON HERE?
10:00:26PM PERFECT.
10:00:26PM SORRY, FOR THE RECORD.
10:00:37PM ADDIE CLARK, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
10:00:40PM JUST GETTING MY POWERPOINT BACK VERY QUICKLY.
10:00:43PM THANK YOU SO MUCH.
10:00:44PM AS TRUETT MENTIONED AND LACHONE, FULL CONSISTENCY WITH
10:00:52PM STAFF.
10:00:52PM THREE WAIVERS.
10:00:54PM NATURAL RESOURCES BASED.
10:00:55PM FIRST ONE HERE IS FOR TREE RETENTION.
10:00:58PM THAT IS SOLELY BASED ON THE FACT BECAUSE OF FEMA
10:01:01PM REGULATIONS, WE DO HAVE TO R RAISE THE SITE AND FILL IT FOR
10:01:08PM FOUR OR FIVE FEET OF FILL ALL FOR FEMA FLOOD MITIGATION.
10:01:12PM EXISTING TREES ON-SITE ARE WITHIN THAT AREA; HOWEVER, WE ARE
10:01:16PM PROPOSING TO PLANT OVER 900 NEW TYPE 1 TREES, WHICH IS MORE
10:01:21PM THAN WHAT IS REQUIRED.
10:01:22PM AND THEN THE SECOND WAIVER HERE, THAT WAS INCLUDED THE
10:01:27PM DIRECT REQUEST OF STAFF.
10:01:28PM STAFF REQUESTED THAT WE PROVIDE OTHER TYPE ONE TREE SPECIES
10:01:33PM THAT ARE BESIDE THE CODE REQUIRED THAT IS MORE APPROPRIATE.
10:01:40PM THE BOSQUE ELM FOR SUFFICIENT WIND RESISTANCE AND TAMPA
10:01:47PM CLIMATE.
10:01:48PM BUT WE HAVE OUR EXPERTS TO TALK ABOUT MORE DETAIL OF THAT.
10:01:51PM LASTLY, THE TREES ALONG WESTSHORE BOULEVARD.
10:01:55PM WE ARE MEETING THE SPACING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE STREET TREES
10:01:59PM AND BUFFER TREES.
10:02:00PM WE ARE FIVE STREET TREES SHY AND THREE BUFFER TREES SHY OF
10:02:07PM THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF THAT FRONT AM OF WESTSHORE TO PROVIDE
10:02:11PM THE PROPER INTERSECTION SIGHT TRIANGLES FOR DRIVERS EXITING.
10:02:20PM RICKY PETERIKA IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY MORE QUESTIONS.
10:02:25PM THE ATTEMPT OF THIS PROJECT IS TO REALLY REACTIVATE THIS
10:02:29PM AREA AS A WELL-DESIGNED URBAN ENVIRONMENT OF TWO MIXED USE
10:02:35PM AND TRANSIT CORRIDORS.
10:02:36PM PRIME CANDIDATE FOR PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY STREETS, MIXED USE
10:02:41PM BUILDINGS AND ATTRACTIVE STREETSCAPE TO CREATE THAT
10:02:45PM LIVE-WORK-PLAY ENVIRONMENT.
10:02:46PM THE PROJECT MENTIONED AS TRUETT MENTIONED CONNECTIVITY AND
10:02:51PM WE ARE HAVING COORDINATION WITH HART AND WILL CONTINUE WITH
10:02:55PM THAT THROUGH THE PROJECT.
10:02:56PM WITH THAT, LISA CALLAHAN, VP OF DEVELOPMENT FOR WASHINGTON
10:03:03PM PROUD GROUP.
10:03:03PM THANK YOU.
10:03:04PM >> HI, I AM LISA CALLAHAN, OWNERS OF WPG AND WEST SHORE
10:03:15PM PLAZA.
10:03:16PM WE WANT TO TRANSFORM WEST SHORE PLAZA SINCE THE 1960s.
10:03:20PM A GREAT ADD TO THE COMMUNITY.
10:03:21PM AND WE WANT TO, YOU KNOW, BRING SOMETHING NEW AND FRESH,
10:03:26PM WALKABLE.
10:03:27PM BRING IT INTO THE NOW, BUT STILL MAKE IT -- HAVE ALL OF THE
10:03:31PM QUALITIES THAT IT HAD BEFORE OF BEING A COMMUNITY GATHERING
10:03:35PM PLACE.
10:03:35PM WE HAVE GOT A COUPLE OF RENDERINGS.
10:03:38PM WE HAVE A COUPLE OF RENDERINGS KIND OF SHOWING YOU WHAT WE
10:03:44PM ARE LOOKING FOR.
10:03:44PM WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO IS TO CREATE A PLACE THAT YOU CAN
10:03:48PM WALK IN SAFELY.
10:03:49PM IT IS INVITING WITH THE ATMOSPHERE.
10:03:51PM WHAT YOU SEE ON THE RENDERING HERE IS THE FOCAL POINT IN THE
10:03:55PM MIDDLE OF THE PLAN.
10:03:56PM AND THIS IS THE LARGE PUBLIC PLAZA.
10:03:58PM SO YOU WILL SEE TREES, WATER ELEMENTS, PLAY AREAS.
10:04:03PM THE RESTAURANTS SPILL OUT FROM HERE AND REALLY THE FOCAL
10:04:07PM POINT.
10:04:07PM GOING FROM THERE, YOU WILL HAVE HOTELS, THE RESIDENTIAL, AND
10:04:11PM THE OFFICE AND THE OTHER WALKABLE COMPONENTS AS PART OF
10:04:15PM THIS.
10:04:15PM SO WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO BRING THIS FORTH AND TO WORK ON
10:04:20PM THIS PROJECT.
10:04:20PM I DO WANT TO MENTION THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE
10:04:24PM NEIGHBORS OF BEACH PARK.
10:04:26PM WE STARTED BACK IN AUGUST BEFORE WE SUBMITTED THIS ENTIRE
10:04:29PM PACKAGE.
10:04:30PM AND TALKING TO THEM AND MET WITH THEM A FEW TIMES.
10:04:33PM THEY ARE HERE.
10:04:35PM AND THEY WILL SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT WHAT -- WHAT THEY THINK
10:04:39PM ABOUT THE PROJECT.
10:04:40PM WE UNDERSTAND FROM THEM THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY SUPPORTIVE
10:04:45PM OF IT.
10:04:45PM THEY DO HAVE CONCERNS, HOWEVER, WITH TRAFFIC.
10:04:48PM AND WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO WORK THROUGH THAT WITH THEM.
10:04:52PM WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH THEM AND TOP
10:04:55PM LISTEN TO THOSE CONCERNS.
10:04:56PM THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER KENNEDY AND
10:05:01PM WESTSHORE BOULEVARD AND WE CAN'T JUST MAGICALLY ADD EXTRA
10:05:05PM LANES TO TAKE CARE OF THE TRAFFIC.
10:05:06PM BUT WHAT THEY ASKED IS THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO ALLOW FOR
10:05:12PM THE BUILDINGS TO MOVE BACK IF D.O.T. DETERMINED IT WAS
10:05:16PM APPROPRIATE TO ADD EXTRA DECEL LANES OR TURN LANES INTO
10:05:21PM THAT.
10:05:21PM WE HAVE ADDED TO OUR SUBMITTAL -- I GUESS IT WILL BE ADDED
10:05:26PM ON THE REVISION SHEET, THAT WE WILL WORK WITH D.O.T. AND
10:05:30PM MOVE THE BUILDINGS BACK IF THEY FIND THAT IS APPROPRIATE TO
10:05:33PM DO THAT.
10:05:34PM JUST IN THE GENERAL SCHEME OF THINGS, WE ARE WORKING ON THE
10:05:37PM REZONING NOW.
10:05:37PM AND THE NEXT STEP IS, WE WILL BE DOING THE FULL ENGINEERING
10:05:41PM AND DESIGN AND WORKING WITH D.O.T. THEN ON THE DRIVEWAY
10:05:46PM PERMIT APPLICATION.
10:05:47PM AND AT THAT POINT, WE WILL STUDY THE APPROPRIATENESS AND HOW
10:05:51PM THAT WORKS.
10:05:51PM SO THANK YOU.
10:05:53PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:05:55PM WHO IS NEXT?
10:05:58PM MR. COHEN?
10:06:00PM NO?
10:06:01PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
10:06:02PM >> RANDY COHEN, 4121 WEST CYPRESS STREET.
10:06:07PM I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
10:06:08PM NOW I GET TO DEAL WITH THE TECHNICAL TRAFFIC STUFF WHICH
10:06:12PM THERE ISN'T MUCH AT ALL IN THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT.
10:06:15PM REASON BEING, AS LaCHONE SHOWED YOU, WE DID NOT ADD A SINGLE
10:06:21PM SQUARE FOOT OF THE PRIMARY USES.
10:06:23PM THEY ARE NOT CHANGED.
10:06:25PM THE SAME THEY WERE IN THE PREVIOUS ZONING BUT SPREADING IT
10:06:28PM OUT ALL OVER THE SITE INSTEAD OF PUTTING IT ON THE EAST
10:06:32PM SIDE.
10:06:32PM WE HAVE NO NEW TRAFFIC THAT COMES OUT OF THIS PROJECT.
10:06:35PM THE APPROVAL IN 2020, WE WILL NOT EXCEED THAT TRAFFIC VOLUME
10:06:39PM AMOUNT.
10:06:40PM AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE HAVE A CONDITION IN THIS ZONING THAT
10:06:43PM PROHIBITS US FROM EXCEEDING THAT PARTICULAR TRAFFIC AMOUNT.
10:06:48PM FOR SOME REASON IF WE WERE, WE WOULD BE BACK IN FRONT OF YOU
10:06:51PM BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE A VIOLATION OF REZONING.
10:06:53PM YOU HAVE AMPLE PROTECTION THAT, IN FACT, THIS WILL CREATE NO
10:06:58PM MORE TRAFFIC THAN WHAT WAS OPPOSED AND APPROVED -- PROPOSED
10:07:02PM AND APPROVED IN 2020.
10:07:03PM WE WILL MONITOR IT.
10:07:05PM THE CITY ASKED THAT WE CHANGE ONE PARTICULAR REPORTING ITEM
10:07:09PM FROM A BUILDING-TO-BUILDING BASIS TO PROVIDING THE CITY WITH
10:07:13PM A REPORT WHAT IS ACTUALLY BEEN BUILT, HOW MANY PARKING
10:07:18PM SPACES BUILT, GREEN SPACES, ETC.
10:07:21PM YOU WILL HAVE A RUNNING TOTAL WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS
10:07:24PM PROJECT.
10:07:24PM MORE IMPORTANTLY, THIS PROJECT, UNLIKE MOST IN THE AREA
10:07:28PM BECAUSE OF ITS SIZE AND NATURE END UP $6,933,000 IN VARIOUS
10:07:37PM TYPES OF TRANSPORTATION KNEES TO THE CITY OF TAMPA AND THE
10:07:41PM WESTSHORE ALLIANCE OF THE AREA-WIDE DEVELOPMENT -- AREA DRI.
10:07:48PM SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY.
10:07:50PM IMPROVEMENTS BY THE CITY OF TAMPA.
10:07:53PM THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION WITHIN THE GREATER WESTSHORE
10:07:55PM AREA AND WESTSHORE ALLIANCE TO SOME EXTENT.
10:08:00PM AS LISA SAID, WE ARE DOING PERMITTING WITH THE D.O.T.
10:08:03PM OF COURSE THAT COMES AFTER WE HAVE AN APPROVED PROJECT.
10:08:06PM THE D.O.T. WILL NOT PERMIT THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT THEY
10:08:10PM REQUIRE UNTIL THE CITY OR THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT HAS APPROVED
10:08:13PM THE PROJECT FROM A CONCEPTUAL STANDPOINT.
10:08:16PM THAT IS WHAT WE ARE HERE LOOKING FOR TONIGHT.
10:08:18PM ONE OTHER THING I WANT TO MAKE YOU ARE AWARE AND I AM SURE
10:08:21PM YOU ARE AND SURPRISED WHEN SOME PEOPLE DON'T.
10:08:25PM ALONG THE INTERSTATE, THERE HAVE BEEN BUILDINGS THAT WERE
10:08:29PM TAKEN DOWN.
10:08:30PM PRELIMINARY TRAFFIC WORK DONE LIKE THE CORNER OF MEMORIAL
10:08:33PM HIGHWAY AND KENNEDY BOULEVARD ADJACENT TO THE MALL.
10:08:36PM THAT IS THE BEGINNING OF THE D.O.T.'S WEST SHORE'S
10:08:43PM IMPROVEMENT WHICH IS $1.2 BILLION IN COST.
10:08:46PM NOT ONLY DOES THAT ADDRESS THE INTERSTATE.
10:08:49PM IT PROVIDES A NEW INTERCHANGE TO THE WEST OF WESTSHORE PLAZA
10:08:54PM AT THE FOOT OF THE HOWARD FRANKLAND BRIDGE.
10:08:59PM AND TO THE WEST OF TRASK STREET BOTH UNDER THE INTERSTATE.
10:09:04PM PROVIDES NEW ACCESS TO THE VERY NORTHERN END OF THE
10:09:08PM WESTSHORE BUSINESS DISTRICT AS WELL.
10:09:10PM WITH THOSE, WE WILL SEE SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES THAT WILL GO
10:09:13PM ALONG WITH THIS PROJECT.
10:09:14PM MANY OF WHICH ARE BENEFICIAL OF REDUCING TRAFFIC ALONG
10:09:18PM KENNEDY BOULEVARD AND ALONG WESTSHORE BOULEVARD.
10:09:20PM I AM HAPPY AT ANY TIME IF YOU WOULD LIKE FOR ME TO GO OVER
10:09:24PM THEM.
10:09:24PM I HAVE SCHEMATIC PLANS WHAT THOSE IMPROVEMENTS ARE, ETC.
10:09:28PM 237 I CAN LET YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON.
10:09:34PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
10:09:37PM >>BILL CARLSON: CAN YOU FELL US WHEN RIO IS REOPENED, WHAT
10:09:42PM AMOUNT OF THE TRIPS WILL COME OFF OF WEST SHORE AND CHANGE
10:09:45PM THE RATING OF THE INTERSECTION?
10:09:49PM >> IT WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT.
10:09:51PM LET ME DIGRESS A SECOND.
10:09:53PM CITY OF TAMPA A FEW YEARS AGO DID A FULL STREET STUDY FOR
10:09:59PM WEST SHORE BOULEVARD.
10:10:00PM AS PART OF THAT STUDY, THEY RAN TRANSPORTATION MODELS WHAT
10:10:04PM WOULD HAPPEN IN THIS AREA OF WEST SHORE ONCE THESE
10:10:07PM INTERSTATE IMPROVEMENTS AND NEW CONNECTIONS WERE IN PLACE.
10:10:11PM I WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS BY TELLING YOU THE RESULT OF
10:10:14PM THAT PARTICULAR SET OF MODELING STUDIES.
10:10:16PM KENNEDY BOULEVARD FROM HOWARD FRANKLAND TO THE FOOT OF
10:10:21PM HOWARD FRANKLAND OVER TO MEMORIAL HIGHWAY.
10:10:25PM TRAFFIC WAS REDUCED BY AS MUCH AS 20 TO 30%.
10:10:29PM SOUNDS LIKE A BIG PERCENTAGE, BUT WHAT YOU NEED TO REALIZE
10:10:33PM THAT TRAFFIC ON KENNEDY IS MUCH LESS THAN MEMORIAL TO WEST
10:10:38PM SHORE BOULEVARD.
10:10:38PM ON THAT SEGMENT, TRAFFIC WILL DECREASE BY 10%.
10:10:41PM WEST SHORE BOULEVARD FROM KENNEDY BOULEVARD UP TO CYPRESS,
10:10:45PM IT WILL DECREASE BY ABOUT 20% BECAUSE OF THE RIO INTERCHANGE
10:10:50PM AND OTHER THINGS GOING ON UP NEAR THE AIRPORT THAT PROVIDE
10:10:54PM ADDITIONAL ACCESS FOR SPRUCE AND WEST SHORE BEING ALL THAT
10:10:57PM WEST SHORE PROPERTY AND DEVELOPMENT WEST OF WESTSHORE
10:11:02PM BOULEVARD ITSELF.
10:11:03PM SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES.
10:11:04PM THEY WON'T BE AS DRAMATIC BUT AKIN TO WHAT HAPPENED ON GANDY
10:11:10PM BOULEVARD WHEN THEY OPENED THE ELEVATED LANES AND ALL OF A
10:11:12PM SUDDEN SAW 30% OF THE TRAFFIC ON KENNEDY BOULEVARD EVAPORATE
10:11:17PM BECAUSE IT WAS ON THE LANES THAT ARE NOW ELEVATED.
10:11:19PM BUT WE WILL SEE SOME SIGNIFICANT CHANGES ON KENNEDY
10:11:23PM BOULEVARD AND WESTSHORE BOULEVARD.
10:11:25PM THE OTHER PART OF THAT IS, THEY ARE REBUILDING MEMORIAL
10:11:29PM HIGHWAY BASICALLY FROM WESTSHORE PLAZA ALL THE WAY UP TO AND
10:11:35PM BEYOND COURTNEY CAMPBELL CAUSEWAY, PROVIDING A MUCH GREATER
10:11:38PM NUMBER OF LANES TO ALLOW TRAFFIC TO NO LONGER BACK UP THERE,
10:11:42PM BUT, IN FACT, TO SPLIT TO GO TO THE VETERANS EXPRESSWAY, TO
10:11:46PM GO TO EISENHOWER BOULEVARD.
10:11:49PM GO TO COURT KNEE CAMPBELL CAUSEWAY IN A MUCH MORE EFFICIENT
10:11:54PM WAY.
10:11:54PM A HOSE WITH A BIGGER NOZZLE ON IT.
10:11:57PM >>BILL CARLSON: DOES D.O.T. HAVE AN ESTIMATE ONCE I-4 -- --
10:12:03PM A BIG MESS WHEN EVERYBODY CONVERGES.
10:12:06PM WHEN THAT IS FIXED, A PERCENTAGE OF REDUCTION THAT IN
10:12:12PM TRAFFIC THAT WILL BYPASS I-4 -- I MEAN 275.
10:12:17PM >> 275?
10:12:19PM IT WILL REDUCE, WITH RIO AND MACES IN INTERCHANGE, GOING TO
10:12:25PM PINELLAS COUNTY, YOU WILL NO LONGER HAVE TO DEPART THE
10:12:27PM INTERSTATE TO GO ON TO KENNEDY BOULEVARD.
10:12:30PM YOU WILL BE ABLE TO LITERALLY GET ON RIO.
10:12:33PM PROCEED NORTH INTO THE WESTSHORE DISTRICT PROPER.
10:12:36PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IS THE APPLICANT OUT OF TIME?
10:12:41PM DID THEY HIT THE 15-MINUTE MARK?
10:12:44PM >> LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE 28 SECONDS AND I WILL SAY THAT
10:12:47PM COMPLETES OUR CASE-IN-CHIEF.
10:12:49PM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
10:12:51PM APPRECIATE THE LINE OF QUESTIONING ALREADY AND REALIZE THIS
10:12:55PM IS A BIG PROJECT AND WE HAVE TAKEN THIS SERIOUSLY AND THE
10:12:58PM DESIGN IS THOUGHTFUL AND MUCH BETTER APPROACH TO LOOK AT THE
10:13:01PM SITE AS A WHOLE THAN A SECTION ON THE EASTERN SIDE AND WE
10:13:04PM HOPE WE BROUGHT FORTH A QUALITY PROJECT AND LOOK FORWARD TO
10:13:07PM SEEING IT COME TO FRUITION AS THE YEARS PROGRESS.
10:13:11PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
10:13:13PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
10:13:14PM I APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION.
10:13:15PM MY FIRST QUESTION THEN KIND OF HAS TO DO WITH THAT.
10:13:18PM WHY DID YOU CHOOSE NOT TO DO A PD-A HERE?
10:13:23PM >> REALLY, TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST, WE WOULD HAVE HAD A LOT
10:13:27PM MORE FLEXIBILITY WITH THE PD-A, BUT THE ISSUE WE HAVE A PD
10:13:32PM THAT DATES BACK ONCE AND MODIFIED IN 2020 AND MUCH EASIER TO
10:13:36PM KEEP WHAT WE HAD THAN TO THROW IT ALL OUT AND START AGAIN.
10:13:40PM BUT WHAT WE DID TRY TO DO IS WITH THE ADMISSION THIS WILL BE
10:13:44PM BUILT IN PHASES.
10:13:45PM WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CODE, EVEN PDs ARE CONTEMPLATED TO BE
10:13:50PM BUILT IN PHASES.
10:13:51PM THE BEST THING WE HAVE GOT GOING FORWARD WAS THE NOTE WE
10:13:55PM WORKED ON WITH LACHONE IN THIS ANNUAL REPORTING AND REALLY
10:13:59PM IT WILL FUNCTION IN A VERY KIND OF LINEAR WAY OF DRAWING
10:14:04PM DOWN MAKING SURE WE ARE COMPLYING WITH PARKING AND A PD WE
10:14:08PM INHERITED THAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO THE BEST WE CAN.
10:14:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK: PERFECT.
10:14:13PM >> BUT IF WE WERE DOING IT FRESH, WE WOULD BE REQUESTING
10:14:17PM A PD-A.
10:14:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YOU MADE A BIG POINT TO TALK OF THE FACT THAT
10:14:21PM YOU ARE NOT INCREASING DENSITY AND INTENSITY.
10:14:23PM AND I WOULD SAY THAT IN THE CHANGE FROM 2020 TO 2024 DENSITY
10:14:30PM AND INTENSITY IS WHAT WE NEED MORE.
10:14:33PM I AM SHOCKED THAT THIS PROJECT ISN'T HIGHER -- BECAUSE YOU
10:14:36PM ARE RIGHT ON THE INTERSTATE.
10:14:37PM YOU ARE RIGHT ON WESTSHORE.
10:14:38PM SO TILL BE HONEST.
10:14:43PM I AM TIS APPOINTED.
10:14:45PM OUT OF RESPECT, I WOULD HIKE TO SEE MORE RESIDENTIAL UNITS
10:14:50PM BECAUSE SOMETHING WE REALLY NEED.
10:14:51PM AND I DID HEAR YOU RIGHT WHEN YOU SAID THAT YOU -- OR MAYBE
10:14:57PM MISS DOCK SAID, BUT YOU CAN CLARIFY -- THAT YOU HAVE 6,000
10:15:03PM REQUIRED PARKING SPACES AND PROVIDING 9,000?
10:15:06PM >> SO ON THAT -- ACTUALLY THE 2020 SITE PLAN, THERE IS A
10:15:11PM WAIVER REDUCING THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES.
10:15:14PM SINCE THAT TIME, THE WESTSHORE OVERLAY PARKING STANDARDS
10:15:18PM HAVE CHANGED AND WE ARE ACTUALLY PROVIDING -- WE HAD A
10:15:22PM WAIVER THEN THAT WILL REMAIN BUT WE ARE IN EXCESS SLIGHTLY
10:15:25PM OF THE PARKING.
10:15:26PM AGAIN, NOT THAT IT WILL ALL BE BUILT BUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO
10:15:29PM BE BUILT DEPENDING ON THE MIX OF USES THAT MAY END UP
10:15:34PM OCCURRING ON-SITE.
10:15:35PM >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY, WHAT ARE THE SPACES YOU ARE PROVIDING
10:15:38PM AND ARE REQUIRED?
10:15:39PM IN A BALLPARK FIGURE.
10:15:43PM >> RANDY CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION MUCH MORE INTELLIGENTLY
10:15:48PM THAN ME.
10:15:48PM >> WE HAVE IT ON THE SLIDE FOR REBUTTAL, BUT THE PROBABLY
10:15:52PM WAS APPROVED IN 2020 TO 7288 PARKS SPACES.
10:15:57PM PARKING BEING PROVIDED 198.
10:16:00PM UNDER THE NEW CODE THAT IS REQUIRED IN WESTSHORE BECAUSE WE
10:16:05PM UPDATED THE OVERLAY, PARKING SPACES REQUIRED WILL BE 7 88
10:16:10PM WITHOUT ANY WAIVERS.
10:16:12PM WHAT WE HAVE GOING THOUGH IS WE HAVE SOME USES THAT WILL
10:16:15PM REQUIRE MORE PARKING THAN WHAT CODE REQUIRES.
10:16:18PM WE HAVE TO BE VERY DILIGENT ABOUT THAT.
10:16:21PM BECAUSE WE CAN'T LEASE BUILDINGS IF WE DON'T HAVE ADEQUATE
10:16:24PM PARKING FOR THEM AND SOME USES WILL REQUIRE MORE THAN WHAT
10:16:28PM IS PERMITTED IN CODE AS YOU WILL SUGGEST IN THE CODE.
10:16:32PM >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY.
10:16:33PM WHILE YOU ARE HERE, MAYBE THIS IS A QUESTION FOR YOU AS
10:16:37PM WELL.
10:16:37PM I AM JUST GOING TO START ASKING THIS OF ALL PLANS.
10:16:41PM WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR E-BIKES AND E-BIKE PARKING,
10:16:47PM SPECIFICALLY COVERED WITH POSSIBLE, LIKE, CHARGING STATIONS,
10:16:51PM THINGS LIKE THAT.
10:16:52PM >> YOUR CODE NOW REQUIRES CHARGING STATIONS.
10:16:56PM WE IN THE LAST REZONING PROVIDED SUBSTANTIAL BICYCLE RACKS.
10:17:01PM WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT, ETC.
10:17:03PM THIS IS REALLY MEANT TO BE A TOWN CENTER-TYPE AFFAIR AND,
10:17:10PM YES, WE ALREADY LOOKED AT AND PROVIDED VARIOUS SORTS OF
10:17:15PM TRANSIT COMPANIES WHICH ARE UBER, ETC.
10:17:18PM THERE WILL BE CHARGING STATIONS AND LOCATIONS FOR THEM.
10:17:22PM SO IN FACT YOU CAN CALL A UBER INSTEAD OF FIGURING OUT WHERE
10:17:27PM THE HECK TO GET IT AT, STATIONS THERE AND ABLE TO IDENTIFY
10:17:30PM IT.
10:17:30PM >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY, THANK YOU.
10:17:33PM AND ONE LAST QUESTION IS ABOUT TREES.
10:17:35PM MR. PETERIKA.
10:17:38PM >> WHILE RICKY IS COMING UP, TO GET BACK TO YOUR DENSITY
10:17:43PM QUESTION, WHICH IS A GREAT ONE.
10:17:45PM COUPLE OF THINGS.
10:17:46PM ONE TO OUR ADVANTAGE, IT IS NOT OFTEN YOU GET TO MULTIPLY
10:17:50PM OVER 53 ACRES.
10:17:52PM 1.53 F.A.R. AND TIMES 53 RESULTS IN A VERY BIG NUMBER.
10:17:58PM AND THEN SECONDLY.
10:18:00PM THE TO ONLY OTHER THING THEY ARE RESTRICTED BY THE EXTERIOR
10:18:05PM DIMENSIONS OF THE SITE, BUT THE HEIGHT OF THE SITE GIVEN THE
10:18:09PM PROXIMITY TO THE AIRPORT.
10:18:11PM IN ONE CLARIFICATION WITH WHAT LACHONE SAID, 190 FEET IN THE
10:18:16PM SITE PLAN TALKING TO HGA.
10:18:19PM SAID WE WANT NO MENTION OF HEIGHT.
10:18:22PM EVERYTHING WILL COME THROUGH US.
10:18:23PM AND SO YOU CAN SEE FROM WHAT LISA SAID, THE CONTEXT OF THOSE
10:18:29PM HEIGHTS THAT ARE FACTORING IN THOSE FAA COORDINATES AND THAT
10:18:36PM IS THE BIGGEST RESTRICTION THE PROXIMITY TO THE AIRPORT.
10:18:40PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU, THAT MAKES SENSE.
10:18:41PM MR. PETERIKA, THE TREE WAIVERS.
10:18:45PM SOUNDS LIKE THERE WILL BE FEWER TREES EVEN THOUGH THERE IS
10:18:48PM MORE GREEN SPACE.
10:18:49PM I AM A LITTLE CONFUSED.
10:18:50PM >> THERE WILL BE -- THERE IS -- THERE IS 575 ON-SITE.
10:18:58PM WE ARE REMOVING 287.
10:19:02PM WE ARE PROPOSING 900.
10:19:04PM >>LYNN HURTAK: OH, OKAY.
10:19:07PM I GUESS -- THE WAIVER THING THREW ME.
10:19:10PM >> THERE IS A RETENTION WAIVER BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY
10:19:15PM TIRED PARKING LOT LIVE OAKS THAT AREN'T THAT BAD TO NOT
10:19:20PM COUNT, BUT THAT'S WHAT IS TRIGGERING THE WAIVER MOSTLY.
10:19:28PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
10:19:29PM THAT IS ALL I NEED TO KNOW.
10:19:30PM I HAVE ONE QUESTION AND I NEED TO ASK.
10:19:32PM HOW MANY PALM TREES?
10:19:34PM >> I AM NOT THE -- I WILL LEAVE THAT UP TO THEM.
10:19:37PM I BELIEVES WITH --
10:19:40PM >> 955 TYPE ONES.
10:19:43PM >>LYNN HURTAK: 955 TYPE ONES.
10:19:45PM I AM GOOD.
10:19:46PM THANK YOU.
10:19:47PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
10:19:51PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THERE WILL BE A LANDSCAPE PLAN SUBMITTED
10:19:54PM WITH IT?
10:19:56PM >> THE VOLUMINOUS SITE PLANS, MULTIPLE PAGES OF THE
10:20:00PM LANDSCAPE PLAN.
10:20:01PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OKAY, GOOD.
10:20:02PM I WILL MENTION IT PAUSE I KNOW A LITTLE SOMETHING OF TAMPA
10:20:08PM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.
10:20:09PM LAST THING IS, IN THE LONG-TERM VISION OF THE CITY OF
10:20:13PM MOBILITY, GRAY STREET.
10:20:17PM KIND OF A MIXED MOW CAL KIND OF STREET WITH BIKE LANES.
10:20:23PM AND DEAD END IN THE AREA THAT YOU ARE NOT INCLUDING THE PD,
10:20:27PM THE BIG BUILDING.
10:20:30PM AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE PLANS TO ACCOMMODATE -- BECAUSE
10:20:33PM IT CAN DUMP INTO THE DEVELOPMENT.
10:20:34PM >> BEHIND THE BUILDING THAT HIGH TEMPERATURE REFERRING TO.
10:20:36PM ACTUALLY IT IS FUNNY I REMEMBER DRIVING BY AND NEVER
10:20:40PM UTILIZED IT.
10:20:41PM WHERE THE TRANSFER STATION IS AND TAKING A CLOSE LOOK AT IT
10:20:48PM TODAY.
10:20:48PM CURRENTLY HAVE FOUR BAYS AND TWO SHELTERS.
10:20:52PM WHAT THAT NOTE PROVIDES, IT WILL BE MODERNIZED.
10:20:56PM FOUR SHELTERS AND IN ADDITION PRETTY SAD LITTLE BUS STOPS.
10:21:03PM WE ARE WORKING WITH HART TO IMPROVE THOSE TOO.
10:21:06PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: VERY GOOD.
10:21:10PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES?
10:21:11PM >>BILL CARLSON: ON THE HART TRANSFER STATION, WHY CAN'T IT
10:21:15PM MOVE TO THE MULTIMODAL FACILITY WHERE CHARLIE'S IS.
10:21:19PM >> WE DID NOT RESTRICT OURSELVES TO THAT AREA.
10:21:22PM SO WE HAVE MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY TO DEAL WITH HART.
10:21:29PM >>BILL CARLSON: BECAUSE THE D.O.T. PLANS TO BRING IN RIO IN.
10:21:35PM MAKES MORE SENSE.
10:21:36PM >> ALSO TO YOUR POINT, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE FORWARD OR
10:21:40PM TOGETHER.
10:21:40PM SHOULD IT WORK OR BETTER TO HAVE TWO THAT RELATE ONE ROUTE.
10:21:50PM WHAT THAT NOTE PROVIDES THAT I WORK WITH JUSTICE AT HART TO
10:21:54PM MAINTAIN MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY BUT TO ENSURE THAT THE TRANSFER
10:21:57PM STATION WILL REMAIN.
10:21:58PM >>BILL CARLSON: I HAPPEN TO KNOW A LOT OF THIS SITE BECAUSE
10:22:06PM I WORKED WITH WESTSHORE BACK IN THE LATE '90s.
10:22:10PM I KNOW HOW OLD THIS MALL IS -- DON'T SAY THE YEAR BECAUSE IT
10:22:14PM AGES ME.
10:22:14PM BUT THE MALL WAS BUILT THE YEAR I WAS BORN.
10:22:17PM SOME, RICKY -- RICKY, CAN I ASK YOU ANOTHER QUESTION?
10:22:29PM WITHOUT IT PROVIDING -- I WON'T PROVIDE TESTIMONY, BUT I
10:22:32PM WILL ASK YOU A QUESTION.
10:22:33PM THE MAJORITY OF THE TREES, WHEN WERE THEY PLANTED?
10:22:40PM >> OOH, LET ME APPROXIMATE.
10:22:50PM T IT IS CLEARLY TIED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MALL ITSELF
10:22:55PM WHICH I DON'T KNOW THAT DATE, BUT I AM TRYING TO SEE BY THE
10:22:58PM SIZES, THE MAJORITY OF THE OAKS ARE 11 TO 20 INCHES
10:23:09PM CONVERSATIONS WITH STAFF LESS THAN HALF, 20, 30 YEARS OLD.
10:23:14PM >>BILL CARLSON: LATE '90s.
10:23:17PM OKAY.
10:23:18PM RANDY -- MR. COHEN, THE AS THEY ARE CALLED, THE ISSUE ON
10:23:25PM THIS ABOUT DENSITY IS RELATED TO THE INTERCHANGE OR THE
10:23:29PM INTERSECTION.
10:23:30PM >> YES.
10:23:31PM >>BILL CARLSON: DO YOU GUYS DO RATINGS LIKE A THROUGH F.
10:23:35PM >> MOST DEFINITELY.
10:23:38PM >>BILL CARLSON: WHAT KIND -- I KNOW YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT
10:23:41PM TO SAY IT --
10:23:43PM >> KENNEDY AND WESTSHORE IS A FAILURE.
10:23:46PM IT IS AN F.
10:23:47PM THE ISSUE IS TO MAKE IT BETTER THAN IT WAS TODAY.
10:23:51PM >>BILL CARLSON: IF IT WAS AN F, COULD YOU ADD MORE DENSITY
10:23:56PM AND MORE PEOPLE.
10:23:57PM >> UNDER CITY CODE AND THE WAY IT OPERATES, WE CAN PUT MORE
10:24:00PM DENSITY ON THE PROPERTY TODAY AND PAY MORE OF A MITIGATION
10:24:05PM SHARE.
10:24:05PM IN FACT, YOU LOOK AT THE PROPERTY.
10:24:07PM YOU LOOK AT THE USES.
10:24:08PM YOU LOOK AT THE CEILING FROM THE AVIATION AUTHORITY THIS IS
10:24:12PM EARNED RUNWAY 36 LEFT.
10:24:14PM SO, IN FACT, WE HAVE RUNWAY OPERATIONS OVER TOP OF IT.
10:24:17PM SO WE HAVE A NUMBER OF RESTRICTIONS.
10:24:20PM SO WE CAN PROBABLY GET ANOTHER HALF A MILLION SQUARE FEET ON
10:24:23PM THE PROPERTY IF WE JAMMED IT ALL IN THERE.
10:24:29PM >>BILL CARLSON: IT WAS THE ABILITY TO GET PEOPLE IN AND OUT.
10:24:35PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MALL OPENED IN 1967.
10:24:40PM [LAUGHTER]
10:24:41PM ALL RIGHT, AT THIS TIME, WE WILL TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT.
10:24:43PM ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, ITEM
10:24:48PM NUMBER 9?
10:24:56PM TODD PRESSMAN, ST. PETERSBURG.
10:24:59PM I'M HERE THIS EVENING REPRESENTING THE BEACH PARK HOMEOWNER
10:25:04PM REASSOCIATION.
10:25:07PM A RESOLUTION.
10:25:08PM MR. MILLER HAS CONCERNS AND HAS MET WITH AND WORKED WITH THE
10:25:11PM MALL REPRESENTATIVE.
10:25:12PM PRIMARILY A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, THEY ATTENDED A PUBLIC
10:25:17PM MEETING AND MEETING WITH THE GROUP AND ALSO JUST A COUPLE OF
10:25:21PM WEEKS AGO.
10:25:21PM BUT THE RESOLUTION REFERS TO THEY ARE GENERALLY IN FAVOR OF
10:25:26PM THE REDEVELOPMENT, BUT THEY HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT TRAFFIC AND
10:25:30PM HAVE CONCERNS OF IMPACTS OF TRAFFIC.
10:25:32PM AND PRIMARILY RECEIVED FROM A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE MALL WAS
10:25:45PM PUT INTO THE RECORD THIS EVENING.
10:25:46PM THE MAIN CONCERN OF THAT, NO CONTINGENCIES THAT THAT WILL
10:25:50PM HAPPEN OR OCCUR.
10:25:51PM THESE ARE A DIRECTION TOWARD SOLUTION OF CONCERNS OF THE
10:25:54PM HOMEOWNERS GROUP, BUT DOESN'T COMPLETELY ANSWER THEM.
10:25:57PM SO WE WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO CONSIDER THE PLAN THAT WAS
10:26:05PM SUBMITTED IS WITHOUT CONTINGENCY.
10:26:07PM IF IT HAD CONTINGENCY WOULD BE MUCH MORE FAVORABLE AND
10:26:12PM SUPPORTIVE.
10:26:12PM THERE WERE OTHER CONCERNS OF THE GROUP, BUT SOMETHING THAT
10:26:15PM WAS BROUGHT FORWARD BY THE MALL REPRESENTATIVE THAT DOES
10:26:18PM ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS.
10:26:19PM SO WITH THAT, IT SUBMIT THIS RESOLUTION TO YOU, AND INDICATE
10:26:26PM AGAIN THE BEACH PARK HOMEOWNERS WANT TO WORK FORWARD AND
10:26:30PM WORK WITH THE MALL TO MAKE IT THE BEST THAT IT CAN BE.
10:26:32PM THEY OBVIOUSLY PUT A GREAT TEAM TOGETHER, BUT THIS IS A
10:26:36PM PARADIGM HUGE PROJECT FOR WESTSHORE AND WANT TO MAKE SURE IT
10:26:42PM IS 100% DONE GREAT IN TOP FASHION AS THEIR TEAM WOULD LIKE
10:26:47PM TO SEE IT.
10:26:48PM I WILL SUBMIT THIS TO YOU.
10:26:51PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
10:26:53PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SHE WAS NEXT TO SPEAKS AND THEN --
10:27:05PM >> I AM SORRY.
10:27:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NEXT.
10:27:07PM >> TATYANA MORALES.
10:27:10PM THIS IS A FUNNY PROJECT.
10:27:11PM I DIDN'T PLAN TO COME UP AND SPEAK.
10:27:14PM WHEN WE TALK MUCH PLANTING SO MANY TREES AND DOING ALL THIS.
10:27:17PM YOU SAY ALMOST 10,000 PARKING SPOTS.
10:27:19PM A BIT OF A JUXTAPOSITION THERE.
10:27:22PM WE THINK OF PARKING.
10:27:24PM I LOOK HOW MUCH PARKING IN THIS AREA.
10:27:27PM YOU LOOK AT PARKING IN THIS AREA.
10:27:29PM I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS -- MY NEW CO-WORKERS TALKING OF
10:27:34PM COMING INTO TAMPA AND THE HISTORICAL RELEVANCE.
10:27:37PM THE THING THEY NOTICE WITH HOWARD FRANK LAND.
10:27:42PM BUILDINGS THAT LOOK LIKE PARKING GARAGES.
10:27:44PM I AM SUPPORTIVE OF THIS PROJECT THAT LIVE ON KENNEDY AND
10:27:47PM WANT TO SEE IMPROVEMENT ON THE WESTSHORE SIDE.
10:27:50PM BUT ON THE OTHER HAND 10,000 SPOTS IS ANSWER FLUX OF BRING
10:27:55PM YOUR CARS HERE INSTEAD OF WORK WITH HART TO IMPROVE
10:27:58PM SERVICES, MULTIMODAL SERVICE.
10:28:00PM HOWARD FRANKLAND WILL, HAVING BIKE, PETITIONED, RAIL.
10:28:04PM PEOPLE COMING OFF OF THE HOWARD FRANKLAND THAT IS NOT JUST
10:28:10PM CARS.
10:28:10PM WE NEED TO THINK MORE OF MIDTOWN THAN UNIVERSITY MALL
10:28:15PM SPRAWLING PARKING LOT.
10:28:16PM I WANT TO GIVE THAT LOOK OF THE FUTURE AND WHAT IT LOOKS
10:28:20PM LIKE.
10:28:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:28:22PM YES, SIR, STATE YOUR NAME.
10:28:23PM >> GOOD EVENING, MARK MILLER.
10:28:25PM 5218 WEST NEPTUNE WAY.
10:28:28PM A RESIDENT OF BEACH PARK AND SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF BEACH
10:28:34PM PARK ASSOCIATION THIS EVENING.
10:28:37PM AND AS TODD PRESSMAN SAID, WE ARE SUPPORTIVE OF THE
10:28:41PM REDEVELOPMENT; HOWEVER, WITH ALREADY FAILING ROADS AND A
10:28:45PM LESS-THAN-SUCCESSFUL MALL, NO DOUBT THAT THE REDEVELOPMENT
10:28:50PM OF THIS 60-ACRE SITE.
10:28:55PM THE FACT THAT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WILL DOUBLE THE
10:28:59PM AMOUNT OFFING SPACES THAT EXIST TODAY WILL TELL US SOMETHING
10:29:03PM ABOUT THE ADDED TRAFFIC.
10:29:04PM THE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED TO THE COUNCIL FOR REZONING BEFORE
10:29:08PM THE MODIFICATION TONIGHT AND.
10:29:12PM IN COOPERATION WE ACKNOWLEDGE IT YOU NOT IMPOSE THE MOST
10:29:16PM BASIC IMPROVEMENT OR PUBLIC SAFETY TO HELP AMELIORATE SOME
10:29:21PM OF THE EXTRA BURDEN ON ALREADY FAILING ROADS.
10:29:25PM APPLICANT JUST THREE SHORT DAYS AGO GAVE AN UPDATE FOR
10:29:29PM PROPOSAL FOR DECEL AND ACCEL LANES.
10:29:39PM AND THE SITE PLAN BEFORE YOU.
10:29:41PM THE SITE PLAN THEY PROPOSED FOR YOU TO APPROVE TONIGHT, NO
10:29:47PM SUCH DE CEL AND ACCEL LANES.
10:29:51PM AND WHEN IT COMES TO COMING WITH TERMS WITH DOT.
10:29:57PM WHAT YOU APPROVE IT TONIGHT WILL GO OUT THE WINDOW WITHOUT
10:30:01PM THOSE IMPROVEMENTS.
10:30:03PM THEY REMOVED THE CONTINGENCY WE ARE IN BETTER SPIRIT WITH
10:30:08PM THEM.
10:30:08PM THEIR PROPERTY NEED TO COMPENSATE THAT THE ROADS ARE FAILING
10:30:12PM TODAY.
10:30:14PM THERE WILL BE MORE TRAFFIC GENERATED THIS.
10:30:16PM I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE STUDIES SAY.
10:30:18PM USE COMMON SENSE.
10:30:19PM OKAY.
10:30:20PM WE NEED RELIEF IN THAT WEST SHORE AND KENNEDY AREA.
10:30:25PM I DON'T THINK ANYONE KNOWS THAT AND POUND THE TABLE ON THAT.
10:30:31PM MY QUESTION IF THEY HAVE NOT MET WITH D.O.T. AND GONE
10:30:35PM THROUGH SO THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE REMOVING THOSE
10:30:40PM CONTINGENCIES TO THE WEST SHORE AND KENNEDY PARCELS WITHIN
10:30:45PM THE ON HINES WITH DECEL AND ACCEL LANES.
10:30:50PM WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOU APPROVING TONIGHT THE PLAN ABSENT
10:30:54PM THOSE IMPROVEMENTS.
10:30:56PM THAT'S WHERE WE ARE AND THE POSITION OF THE HOA.
10:31:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYONE ELSE WISHES TO SPEAK AT THIS
10:31:06PM TIME?
10:31:06PM AT THIS TIME, WE HAVE REBUTTAL, SURE.
10:31:09PM SO MR. GARDENER, THE GENTLEMAN THAT JUST SPOKE DISCUSSED THE
10:31:14PM CONTINGENCY WITH A TOWARD TO D.O.T.
10:31:17PM HOW WOULD YOU RESPOND TO THAT.
10:31:19PM >> I WILL LET RANDY TALK ABOUT THAT IN A GREATER DETAIL.
10:31:21PM WHAT WE SUBMITTED TONIGHT IN FAIRNESS TO LISA AND THE TEAM.
10:31:29PM THEY HAVE BEEN MEETING SINCE AUGUST.
10:31:32PM SHE DIRECTED US TO JUMP ON THIS ISSUE.
10:31:36PM WE STARTED WORKING WITH STAFF.
10:31:38PM WORKED CLOSELY WITH LACHONE TO FORMULATE A NOTE -- WHAT THE
10:31:42PM NOTE SAID -- AND DOES NOT SAY ANYTHING OF IT COMPLICATION
10:31:46PM FROM DOT ROAR SET ASIDE PORTIONS OF WEST SHORE AND DEN DEE
10:31:52PM FOR A DECEL LANE SHOULD IT BE WARRANTED.
10:31:58PM WHAT A THEY DON'T APPRECIATE, HOW THE PROCESS WORKS.
10:32:05PM AND WHAT RANDY ADDRESSED BEFORE AND WHAT MR. CARLSON WAS
10:32:10PM DOING A GOOD JOB ASKING QUESTIONS OF THE RELIEF PROVIDED FOR
10:32:13PM OVER $1 BILLION THIS IMPROVEMENTS IN THE AREA.
10:32:17PM I THINK THOSE THINGS ARE IMPORTANT THINGS TO KEEP INTO CON
10:32:22PM TENSION.
10:32:22PM IT WAS MENTIONED AND EVERYBODY IS HARPING ON 10,000 PARKING
10:32:27PM SPACE.
10:32:27PM THAT IS NOT THE CASE.
10:32:28PM THE ONLY WAY THAT WILL BE THE CASE IF THIS MALL, 53 ACRES
10:32:33PM WERE SOLELY AS YOUR BIG TRAFFIC INDICATORS.
10:32:37PM BUSINESS, OFFICE.
10:32:39PM THAT IS NOT GOODBYE TO BE THE CASE AND THE MIX OF USES THE
10:32:44PM 10,000 SPACES ISN'T THE WAY THE MALL WILL DEVELOP GIVEN THE
10:32:48PM SIZE AND SCOPE OF THE PROBABLY.
10:32:50PM WITH THAT, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO RANDY UNTIL YOU HAVE
10:32:54PM QUESTIONS FOR ME.
10:32:55PM >> WHAT I HEARD IMPROVEMENT AND EXISTS ON CERTAIN STREETS TO
10:33:04PM ALLOW FOR MORE TRAFFIC FLOW.
10:33:07PM YOU ARE LIMITED TO WESTSHORE AND KENNEDY AND HAVE ACCESS TO
10:33:12PM THE HIGHWAY IN THE BACK, WHICH IS BEING REWORKED.
10:33:15PM I HAVE SAT ON THE TPO -- FORMALLY MPO FOR NINE YEARS AND WE
10:33:23PM AND OTHER MEMBERS -- IF ANYONE WISHES TO REPLACE ME.
10:33:28PM TAKE IT.
10:33:29PM WE SEE THE IMPROVEMENTS AND WHAT THE INVESTMENTS THAT BEEN
10:33:33PM MADE FROM THE HOWARD FRANKLAND BRIDGE TO THE INTERCHANGES TO
10:33:37PM THE STREET CONNECTIVITY THAT DOESN'T EXIST NOW THAT WILL
10:33:45PM MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
10:33:46PM I KNOW THAT INTERSECTION.
10:33:47PM AWFUL ON BE A FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
10:33:51PM IT IS GOOD ON A SUNDAY MORNING WHEN PEOPLE ARE NOT OUT AS
10:33:54PM MUCH.
10:33:54PM THE QUESTION I ASK MY SELVES WITH THE REFLECTION OF
10:34:00PM WESTSHORE PLAZA.
10:34:01PM THE LAST 0 YEARS, IN A STATE OF DECLINE.
10:34:04PM NO OFFENSE TO ANYBODY.
10:34:06PM INTERNATIONAL PLAZA.
10:34:07PM AND TAMPA BAY MALL CLOSED AND DEMOLISHED.
10:34:11PM A LOT OF CHANGES NATIONALLY WITH HOW PEOPLE HAVE BEEN GOING
10:34:14PM TO THE MALL AND WE HAVE SEEN DECLINES AND PEOPLE GO BACK TO
10:34:18PM THE DOWNTOWN AND THE URBAN CORE.
10:34:21PM WHAT I ASK MYSELF IS WITH REGARD TO TRAFFIC.
10:34:25PM WITH THE DOCUMENT THAT WAS BROUGHT HERE, THE CURRENT MALL IS
10:34:29PM SUFFERING FROM DIMINISHED TRAFFIC ASSOCIATED -- ASSOCIATED
10:34:32PM NATIONALLY WITH B AND LOWER PRAYED SHOPPING MALLS.
10:34:37PM AT ONE TIME, THAT MASS WAS VERY BUSY AND THE MALL WAS
10:34:43PM PACKED.
10:34:43PM THINGS HAVE CHANGED AND THE MALL IS -- I DON'T WANT TO SAYS
10:34:46PM IT EMPTY BUT NOT WHAT IT WAS BEFORE.
10:34:49PM WHAT MALL IS AS SUCCESSFUL AS 0 YEARS AGO AT ITS PEAK.
10:34:56PM WE WOULD HAVE THAT INCREASE AND PEOPLE COMING IN AND OUT
10:34:59PM FROM WEST SHORE TO KENNEDY.
10:35:03PM SHOULD THAT PROCESS GO FORWARD AND NEW DEVELOPMENT GOES IN
10:35:06PM THERE.
10:35:06PM IF IT IS SUCCESSFUL -- "IF" IT WILL POSSIBILITY ME WITH
10:35:16PM NUMBERS AT ITS WEAK WITH THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE COMING IN.
10:35:23PM SO THOSE ARE MY QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS.
10:35:26PM NOW REGARDING THAT 12-FOOT THAT YOU ARE CONSIDERING.
10:35:30PM WHY NOT JUST PUT THAT IN THE PLAN AND TAKE INTO
10:35:34PM CONSIDERATION.
10:35:34PM TAMPA IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW.
10:35:36PM I BELIEVE ONE OF THE SPEAKERS IN THE AUDIENCE.
10:35:38PM I FORGOT THE NUMBER.
10:35:40PM 150 PEOPLE MOVING TO TAMPA EVERY DAY.
10:35:43PM THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE MOVING HERE A MONTH.
10:35:47PM WHY DO YOU MAN AHEAD.
10:35:49PM THE INTERSTATE.
10:35:50PM I TALK A LOT -- WELL, NOT REALLY.
10:35:53PM THE WAY THE INTERSTATE ORIGINALLY -- COUNCILMAN MIRANDA MADE
10:35:57PM THIS COMMENT YEARS AGO.
10:35:58PM HE SAID WE THE INTERSECTION WAS BUILT IN TAMPA, NOT A LOT OF
10:36:03PM TRAFFIC.
10:36:04PM THEN IT WAS LIKE IF YOU RESPECT IN THE HIGHWAY.
10:36:08PM EVERYBODY IS LIKE TAKE THE FREEWAY.
10:36:11PM WE DIDN'T ACCOUNT BACK IN THE 50s.
10:36:14PM THE INTERSTATE BEING WIDE ED AND DEMOLISHED AND REBUILT IN
10:36:18PM CERTAIN SPANS.
10:36:19PM WHY DO YOU REPRESENTING THE DEVELOPER THINK AHEAD AND PLAN
10:36:23PM FOR MORE CONGESTION SO WE CAN -- SO WE CAN PUT TO EASE --
10:36:27PM PUT TO REST THE CONCERNS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD NEARBY.
10:36:30PM I KNOW IT IS A DENSE FIRST AREA BUT THAT AREA, WEST SHORE
10:36:37PM GOES TO TWO LANES SOUTH OF KENNEDY.
10:36:39PM I MEAN SOMETHING THAT SHOULD CAN CONSIDERED.
10:36:41PM I THINK IT WILL SAVE MONEY IN THE LONG RUN AND PLAN IT
10:36:45PM DIRECTLY NOW AND GO FROM THERE.
10:36:47PM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA AND CARLSON.
10:36:52PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: EVEN WEATHERMAN HAS TIMES WHERE THEY MAKE
10:36:56PM MISTAKES.
10:36:57PM IT HAPPENS MANY TIMES AND THEM PAID VERY WELL.
10:37:02PM WHAT I AM SAYING IS THIS -- AND NOTHING AGAINST WEATHER.
10:37:08PM AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED I HAVE AT LEAST ONE PERSON CALL ME
10:37:13PM ON MIDTOWN AND I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE PACKED UP FAIRLY,
10:37:17PM FAIRLY LARGE.
10:37:18PM I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT.
10:37:19PM THEY HAVE A RESTAURANT OUTSIDE THAT IS VERY SUCCESSFUL AND
10:37:25PM THAT REST RANT IS PACKED WITH PEOPLE THAT IS NOT THE TRAFFIC
10:37:31PM I THOUGHT WAS BACKED UP AND IT HAVEN'T HAPPENED.
10:37:34PM AND I HAVEN'T SEEN IT.
10:37:36PM I TRAVEL THAT AREA DAILY AND I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT.
10:37:39PM I GET ONE PHONE CALL.
10:37:43PM I UNDERSTAND THE NEIGHBORHOOD BLIGHT BECAUSE JUST SOUTH OF
10:37:49PM KENNEDY ABOUT 150 TO 00 FEET AWAY BEHIND MONEY LICKS TWO
10:37:55PM ROADS THAT THE CITY SHOULD ADDRESS AND I TALKED TO THE
10:37:58PM ADMINISTRATION NOT ONCE BUT TWICE ON THIS.
10:38:01PM ONE WAY OR BUT RUNWAY IN.
10:38:06PM AND BACKED UP TREMENDOUS WHERE IT IS AT.
10:38:10PM IF YOU GO WHERE THEY LIVE, NEVER WILL BE OUT OF WESTSHORE
10:38:15PM WITHOUT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL.
10:38:17PM IT IS WORKING -- I HOPE IT IS FROM SOME.
10:38:22PM IF YOU WERE A LITTLE LEARNING IN MIDTOWN.
10:38:25PM I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE TRAFFIC PROBLEM IN MIDTOWN.
10:38:34PM >> COUNCILMAN MIRANDA AND CHAIRMAN TO YOUR POINT TOO.
10:38:37PM I AM GOING TO PRETEND TO BE A TRAFFIC ENGINEER AND TURN TO
10:38:42PM OVER TO THE REAL THING.
10:38:45PM UP LOOK AT WESTSHORE MALL, TAMPA BAY MALL, THE WAY THEY
10:38:49PM WERE.
10:38:49PM IN GENERAL A CAR CENTRIC DEVELOPMENT THAT IF YOU LIVE IN AN
10:38:53PM APARTMENT.
10:38:53PM YOU WANTON GO TO THE MALL AND TO BE A RESTAURANT, YOU GET IN
10:38:58PM YOUR CAR AND DRIVE TO THE CAR.
10:38:59PM IF YOU WERE LOOK TOGETHER ENTERTAINED FROM -- FOR LUNCH FROM
10:39:05PM YOUR OFFERS.
10:39:05PM YOU GET IN YOUR CAR AND ASK THE AUDIENCE WHAT IS INTERESTING
10:39:13PM OF THIS PLAN AND TO YOUR POINT MIDTOWN'S PLAN.
10:39:16PM WHEN YOU TOTALLY REIMAGINE ONE OF THESE AND ENTERTAINMENT,
10:39:22PM SHOPPING AND DINING OPTION ALONG WITH YOUR OFFICE OPTIONS,
10:39:28PM RESIDENTIAL OPTIONS.
10:39:29PM ALL OF A SUDDEN -- AND WE TALK ABOUT IT A LOT -- YOU HAVE
10:39:32PM INTERNAL CAPTURE WHERE PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING BACK AND FORTH
10:39:35PM FROM THE OFFICE TO THE MALL OR FROM THEIR HOUSE TO THE MALL.
10:39:38PM YOU CAN CAPTURE IT ALL IN ONE.
10:39:40PM AND WITH THAT, I WILL TURN THINGS OVER TO RANDY,
10:39:44PM SPECIFICALLY ON KIND OF THE WAY WE APPROACH -- BECAUSE WE
10:39:47PM BORROWED NOTE FROM ONE OF HIS SITE PLANS ON CYPRESS BUT ON
10:39:52PM THE RESERVATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY WHICH IS WHAT WE ARE DOING.
10:39:55PM WE JUST DIDN'T WANT TO HAMSTRING OURSELVES IF IT IS NOT
10:39:58PM NEEDED.
10:39:59PM THIS PROPERTY OWNER DOES NOT HAVE TO HOLD LAND ASIDE IN
10:40:02PM PERPETUITY.
10:40:05PM WITH THAT, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO RANDY.
10:40:08PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: HE DIDN'T TAKE MY FIVE MINUTES, DID HE?
10:40:10PM I JUST WANT TO KNOW.
10:40:11PM EVERYBODY ASKED, WHAT HAPPENED TO WESTSHORE MALL.
10:40:14PM VERY SIMPLE.
10:40:15PM NORTH GATE AND BRITTON PLAZA KILLED DOWNTOWN AND YBOR CITY.
10:40:25PM AND WESTSHORE MALL KILLED NORTHGATE AND NOW THEY HAD TO RE-
10:40:36PM EVENT.
10:40:36PM WHEN SOMETHING GOES UP NEW, EVERYBODY WANTS TO SEE IT AND
10:40:40PM SOMEBODY SUFFERED AND THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MALL.
10:40:43PM THEY HAD A GREAT START THERE, BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN, EVERYBODY
10:40:48PM WENT SOMEWHERE ELSE.
10:40:49PM AND THAT IS PART OF LIFE.
10:40:53PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
10:40:55PM >>BILL CARLSON: MAYBE ASK A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS AND LET
10:41:00PM TRUETT GO.
10:41:00PM IN THE LATE 90s, GAVE INTERNATIONAL PLAZA A $500 MILLION
10:41:06PM SUBSIDY FROM A TAMPA BAY TIMES ANALYSIS.
10:41:09PM STORY FOR ANOTHER DAY.
10:41:13PM IN TERMS OF PARKING, I DISAGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUES, I THINK
10:41:17PM THIS IS AN ISLAND.
10:41:18PM IT WOULD BE A DISASTER NOT TO HAVE ENOUGH PARKING BECAUSE
10:41:24PM WHERE WILL PEOPLE GO.
10:41:25PM IN THE DAY IN THE FUTURE, WE THOUGHT BY NOW WOULD HAVE
10:41:30PM AUTONOMOUS FEATURES AND TRANSIT IN TAMPA AND WE ARE AT LEAST
10:41:33PM TEN YEARS AWAY FROM THAT AND I WILL BE THE ONE TO RECOMMEND
10:41:36PM LESS PARKING.
10:41:37PM BECAUSE YOU ARE GREAT ON THAT THE QUESTION THE NEIGHBOR
10:41:44PM ASKED AND THEN YOU AND RANDY CAN ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS.
10:41:47PM THE QUESTION THE NEIGHBOR ASKED IS WHY CAN'T YOU TAKE THE
10:41:50PM CONTINGENCY OUT?
10:41:52PM CAN YOU PUT IN THERE SO EVER THE DECELERATION LANES SUBJECT
10:41:57PM TO APPROVAL BY DOT INSTEAD -- I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT WILL
10:42:02PM COST FOR TO YOU DO THAT.
10:42:03PM PROVIDING LAND ANYWAY.
10:42:05PM A WAY TO HAVE THE CONTINGENCY.
10:42:08PM FROM BEACH PARK TO ONLY ASK FOR ONE THING IS A PRETTY BIG
10:42:14PM STEP.
10:42:14PM YOU ARE THIS CLOSE TO GETTING APPROVAL.
10:42:16PM IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO THAT?
10:42:19PM >> SILL ASK THAT QUESTION WHILE RANDY IS TALKING -- OF THE
10:42:23PM CLIENT.
10:42:23PM I DON'T WANT TO MAKE A COMMITMENT FOR THEM.
10:42:25PM TO THE OVERALL POINT ON PARKING, I CAN ASSURE YOU THIS
10:42:30PM DEVELOPER AND THE DEVELOPERS OF THIS ULTIMATE PROJECT WILL
10:42:34PM NOT BE INCENTIVE TO PROVIDE MORE PARKING THAT IS NEEDED.
10:42:38PM THEY WILL NEED IT AS REQUIRED.
10:42:41PM $30,000, $40,000 PARKING SPACE DOES THEM NO FAVOR AT ALL TO
10:42:45PM OVERBILL THE PARKING AND PROVIDE ADEQUATE PARKING.
10:42:50PM AND TO YOUR POINT IF YOU DON'T DO THAT, YOU WOULD SAUCE A
10:42:55PM PROBLEM IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:42:56PM GIVE SOME SECURITY TO COUNCIL.
10:43:00PM I WILL LET RANDY SPEAK AND DURING THAT TIME, I WILL ASK THE
10:43:03PM QUESTION ON THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
10:43:05PM >> THERE WERE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT TRAFFIC.
10:43:12PM ABOUT HOW DO WE DEAL WITH A LEVEL OF SERVICE F INTERSECTION.
10:43:17PM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO HAD THE EXACT RIGHT ANSWER.
10:43:20PM WHAT YOU DO AND WHAT WE ARE DOING IN WESTSHORE.
10:43:24PM PUTTING ON MY WESTSHORE ALLIANCE HAT.
10:43:27PM I HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT THERE A COUPLE OF TIMES AND WORKING
10:43:30PM WITH THE D.O.T. TO CREATE THE ABILITY TO GAIN BACK
10:43:34PM CIRCULATION WE HAVE IN WESTSHORE BEFORE THE INTERSTATE WAS
10:43:38PM THERE.
10:43:39PM IN FACT, THAT IS WHY WE HAVE REDUCTIONS OF TRAFFIC ON
10:43:42PM KENNEDY BOULEVARD AND WEST SHORE BOULEVARD BECAUSE YOUR
10:43:44PM ALTERNATIVE CIRCULATION OPTIONS IN WEST SHORE.
10:43:47PM ONCE THE INTERSTATE IS DONE.
10:43:50PM INTERNALLY TO THE SITE, THE FACT THAT WE HAVE BLOWN THE MALL
10:43:53PM APART PUTTING IN INTERNAL ROADWAYS DOING THINGS IN THE MALL
10:43:59PM AND ONE OF THE KEYS TO MIDTOWN.
10:44:01PM YOU CAN COME IN AT ONE LOCATION AND GO OUT AT ANOTHER AND IT
10:44:06PM IS CONVENIENT.
10:44:06PM IF YOU THINK OF WESTSHORE PLAZA TODAY, YOU COME IN ONE
10:44:10PM ENTRANCE.
10:44:10PM YOU PARK IN A GARAGE AND A LOT.
10:44:13PM NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN GO BACK OUT THE SAME YOU ENTERED
10:44:19PM BECAUSE CONVENIENT ONE TO YOU.
10:44:20PM WE DEVELOPED THE MALL TO BE CIRCULATION FRIENDLY INTERNALLY
10:44:24PM AND THE D.O.T. IS DOING IT EXTERNALLY AND WILL NOT HAVE THE
10:44:29PM BACK-UPS THAT ONE WOULD THINK YOU HAVE.
10:44:32PM TWO OR THREE DRIVEWAYS NO OPTION.
10:44:34PM THAT IS HOW YOU ADDRESS TRAFFIC AT THE POSITION WHERE
10:44:39PM WESTSHORE IS.
10:44:40PM NOT GOOD LEVELS OF SERVICE THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN.
10:44:42PM DOWNTOWN HAS THE MAIN ISSUE AND A GRID SYSTEM AND HAS THE
10:44:47PM FLEXIBILITY OF CIRCULATION.
10:44:48PM WESTSHORE HAVEN'T AND WE ARE BRINGING IT BACK.
10:44:51PM THAT IS THE ANSWER ON A NONTECHNICAL BASIS AND LEVEL OF
10:44:57PM SERVICE F AT A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT INTERSECTIONS.
10:45:01PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION TO CLOSE --
10:45:05PM >>BILL CARLSON: WE NEED TRUETT'S ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION
10:45:08PM BECAUSE THE --
10:45:11PM >> TRUETT GARDNER, 400 ASHLEY DRIVE.
10:45:17PM THE LANGUAGE WE PUT FORWARD, REMOVES THAT CONTINGENCY.
10:45:22PM IF D.O.T. WANTS THE LAND, THEY CAN TAKE THE LAND AND THE
10:45:27PM NEED TO COMPENSATE THAT LAND.
10:45:29PM IF IT IS NEEDED, THEY CAN UTILIZE IT.
10:45:31PM IF IT IS NOT NEEDED, THE DEVELOPER DOESN'T WANT TO PROP THE
10:45:35PM LAND FOREVER IN THE EVENT IT IS NOT NEEDED.
10:45:38PM THAT IS THE BALANCE --
10:45:39PM >>BILL CARLSON: CAN YOU READ US THE LANGUAGE REAL FAST.
10:45:43PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: PUT THAT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING
10:45:45PM WHAT THE COUNSELOR JUST SAID.
10:45:52PM >> THIS IS THE NOTE THAT I TURNED INTO MARTY.
10:45:57PM PLANNED MIRANDA YOUR POINT WILL BE INCORPORATED BETWEEN
10:46:00PM FIRST AND SECOND READING.
10:46:01PM AND IT STATES IS, PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT
10:46:06PM FOR ANY BUILDING IN BROOK A ARE, E, F, K AND N.
10:46:12PM THEY ABUT WESTSHORE AND KENNEDY, THE PROPERTY OWNER --
10:46:18PM SORRY, THIS IS THE HART -- TAKE THAT BACK.
10:46:33PM IT IS NOTE 13.
10:46:35PM NEW ZONING AND IN REFERENCE TO THE TABLE.
10:46:39PM SETBACKS ALONG BLOCK B AND BLOCKS J AND G, THOSE ARE THE
10:46:45PM PORTIONS ALONG KENNEDY AND WESTSHORE TO BE REDUCED BY THE
10:46:49PM SAME AMOUNT AS ANY PROPERTY REQUIRED BY GOVERNMENT ENTITY IN
10:46:53PM THE SETBACK AREA.
10:46:54PM GOVERNMENT ENTITY MUST REQUEST RESERVE PROPERTY IN WRITTEN
10:46:57PM FORM WITHIN THREE YEARS OF REZ-23-105 APPROVAL.
10:47:01PM IF IT IS NEEDED BY DOT WITHIN THREE YEARS, THERE IS NO
10:47:05PM COMPENSATION FOR IT AND DEDICATED TO D.O.T.
10:47:08PM BUT WHAT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DO IN PERPETUITY TO SET ASIDE
10:47:12PM THIS LAND IN THE EVENT IT IS NOT NEEDED.
10:47:15PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ARE YOU GOOD?
10:47:19PM >>BILL CARLSON: CAN I JUST ASK THE NEIGHBORHOOD LEADER.
10:47:21PM HAD YOU SEEN THIS LANGUAGE BEFORE?
10:47:22PM WHAT IS YOUR --
10:47:24PM >> I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT LANGUAGE BEFORE.
10:47:25PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AGAIN.
10:47:28PM >> MARK MILLER.
10:47:29PM I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT LANGUAGE.
10:47:31PM THE FIRST TIME I JUST HEARD IT.
10:47:33PM I THINK MY -- MY COMMENT IS, THIS IS A TEN-YEAR DEVELOPMENT
10:47:37PM AT LEAST IN PHASES AS THEY STATED IT THEMSELVES.
10:47:41PM I DON'T KNOW WHAT D.O.T.
10:47:43PM YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT D.O.T. WILL REQUIRE WITHIN THE NEXT
10:47:47PM THREE YEARS.
10:47:47PM WE KNOW, AS THE CHAIRMAN CHAIRMAN SAID HIMSELF, THIS --
10:47:52PM THESE ARE FAILING ROADS AND WE SHOULD BE MAKING IT PART OF
10:47:54PM THE PERMANENT -- PERMANENT.
10:47:58PM ONLY GET WORSE.
10:47:59PM TRAFFIC WILL NOT GET BETTER ESPECIALLY IF YOU THINK ABOUT
10:48:02PM THE APARTMENTS THAT NOW ARE GOING TO BE DEVELOPED BY
10:48:08PM DEBARTLO.
10:48:08PM LAW MANY MORE TRAFFIC COME ON WESTSHORE BOULEVARD AND
10:48:12PM APPROACH THAT INTERSECTION.
10:48:14PM YOU DON'T RESERVE IT IN PERPETUITY AND YOU DON'T APPROVE IT
10:48:19PM IN THREE YEARS, WE WILL BE LOOKING BACK AT THIS AND WE SAID
10:48:23PM WE HAD OUR CHANCE AND BLEW IT.
10:48:25PM LET'S GET DECEL AND ACCEL LANES A PART OF THE PERMANENT
10:48:33PM APPROVAL OF THIS PLAN.
10:48:34PM AND REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
10:48:36PM POINT OF CLARIFICATION, WE DID BRING THIS UP PRIOR TO THE
10:48:39PM MEETING TWO WEEKS AGO.
10:48:41PM WE BROUGHT IT UP MONTHS AGO.
10:48:43PM I MYSELF BROUGHT IT AT THE WOMEN'S CENTER TWO MONTHS AGO.
10:48:49PM >>BILL CARLSON: TRUETT, TRANSPORTATION AND THAT INTERSECTION
10:48:54PM IS A MAJOR ISSUE THERE.
10:48:56PM AND SINCE YOU ARE DOING IT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING,
10:48:59PM I WOULD PROBABLY SUPPORT IT NOW, BUT ASK THAT AS YOU LOOK AT
10:49:03PM THIS, IF YOU CAN MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS.
10:49:05PM IT SOUNDS LIKE WITH CHANGING A LITTLE BIT OF THE LANGUAGE,
10:49:07PM YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET SUPPORT AND TAKE AWAY CONCERNS OF
10:49:14PM TRANSPORTATION.
10:49:14PM >> SURE, I APOLOGIZE THAT MARK -- THE E-MAIL SENT TO HIM AT
10:49:20PM 10:37.
10:49:21PM BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON, HE DIDN'T SEE IT.
10:49:24PM WE OFFERED THAT REVISION.
10:49:25PM AND HAPPY TO DISCUSS IN BETWEEN READINGS OF POTENTIAL TWEAK
10:49:30PM TO THAT.
10:49:30PM THE CONCERN OUR CLIENT HAS, IF THAT IS NOT NEEDED, BASICALLY
10:49:35PM GIVING 12 FEET OF LAND --
10:49:37PM >>BILL CARLSON: FOR EXAMPLE, HE SAID TEN YEARS.
10:49:39PM YOU ARE SAYING THREE.
10:49:40PM I DON'T KNOW -- THERE IS -- SOUNDS LIKE YOU GUYS ARE PRETTY
10:49:44PM CLOSE TO BEING ABLE TO DO SOMETHING.
10:49:46PM AND THAT WILL TAKE AWAY OPPOSITION WHICH WOULD BE GOOD.
10:49:51PM >> I AGREE AND WILL WORK ON THAT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
10:49:54PM READING.
10:49:54PM I DON'T WANT TO PROMISE IN PERPETUITY BECAUSE I DON'T THINK
10:49:57PM THAT IS RIGHT AND FAIR TO OUR CLIENT.
10:49:59PM >>BILL CARLSON: THANK YOU.
10:50:00PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION TO CLOSE.
10:50:04PM >>LUIS VIERA: SECOND.
10:50:05PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
10:50:06PM SO COUNCILMAN CARLSON, YOU ARE UP, I BELIEVE.
10:50:14PM >>BILL CARLSON: AS I SAID, I HAVE CONCERNS OF THE
10:50:21PM TRANSPORTATION ISSUES AND ASSUMING BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
10:50:24PM READING THAT WILL BE RESOLVED TO A GREATER EXTENT, BUT IN
10:50:27PM THE MEANTIME, I WILL MAKE A MOTION.

10:51:24PM AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND TWO REVISION SHEETS TO BE SUBMITTED
10:51:29PM BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
10:51:30PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
10:51:33PM SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA.
10:51:35PM I WILL SUPPORT THIS RELUCTANTLY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THIS MALL
10:51:41PM WILL BE TORN DOWN.
10:51:42PM AND IT WAS A PART OF MY CHILDHOOD AND A LOT OF PEOPLE.
10:51:45PM AND YOU KNOW THINGS CHANGE AND WHATNOT, I THINK THE ONLY
10:51:49PM THING LEFT WILL BE THE MACY'S, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WILL BE
10:51:52PM GONE.
10:51:52PM YOU HATE TO SEE CHANGE, BUT TAMPA IS GROWING.
10:51:55PM IT IS A BEAUTIFUL PROJECT.
10:51:56PM BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING, WILL YOU BE THE MEETING
10:52:01PM WITH THE -- WITH THE ASSOCIATION?
10:52:04PM THEY HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS.
10:52:07PM YOU KNOW, MANY TIMES -- I LEAVE MY STEPDAUGHTER AT SCHOOL.
10:52:11PM I TRY TO TAKE HENDERSON.
10:52:13PM JUST AS BAD -- BUT WESTSHORE SOUTH COMING OFF OF MANHATTAN
10:52:19PM WHEN I CUT THROUGH, TWO LANES.
10:52:21PM AND NO EASY WAY OUT.
10:52:22PM BUT THAT IS JUST IN THE MORNING.
10:52:24PM THE INTERSECTION OF WESTSHORE AND KENNEDY.
10:52:27PM COMING -- PEOPLE COMING OFF THE INTERSTATE.
10:52:30PM OFF THE HOWARD FRANKLAND BRIDGE.
10:52:33PM ON AND ON AND ON.
10:52:34PM WITH THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE MOVING HERE, IT IS JUST NOT GOING
10:52:37PM TO GET BETTER.
10:52:38PM WE HAVE TO THINK OF THE FUTURE.
10:52:39PM I AM GOING TO SUPPORT IT.
10:52:41PM I SAID WHAT I NEEDED TO SAY.
10:52:42PM IF WE CAN HAVE ROLL CALL.
10:52:44PM GO AHEAD, SIR.
10:52:45PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I AM GOING TO SUPPORT THIS AS WELL, NOT
10:52:47PM RELUCTANTLY ACTUALLY.
10:52:49PM BECAUSE WE ARE REDEVELOPING SOMETHING AT THE INTERSECTION OF
10:52:51PM TWO MAJOR TRANSPORTATION ROADS.
10:52:55PM THIS IS -- I MEAN, IT IS WELL-PLACED TO REDEVELOP.
10:52:58PM AND -- AND IN DEFERENCE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S CONCERNS.
10:53:04PM I DON'T SEE -- I USED TO LIVE OFF OF WESTSHORE BEFORE I
10:53:07PM MOVED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PENINSULA.
10:53:09PM FOR MANY YEARS SOUTH WESTSHORE.
10:53:12PM IT IS ATROCIOUS.
10:53:14PM IT IS HORRIBLE.
10:53:15PM I SEE SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENT ON SOUTH WESTSHORE WITH THE
10:53:18PM TRAFFIC GOING NORTH-SOUTH.
10:53:19PM BUT I DON'T SEE THIS CHANGE OF USE REALLY ADD ADDING TRAFFIC
10:53:24PM THAT GOES SOUTHBOUND IN WESTSHORE AND INTUITIVELY AND LOOK
10:53:29PM AT THE TYPE OF USES WHEN WESTSHORE WAS AT ITS PEAK.
10:53:32PM I USED TO GO UP FROM TRAVEL NORTH ON WESTSHORE TO GO TO
10:53:37PM WESTSHORE MALL AND WESTSHORE PLAZA AND I DID THAT ALL THE
10:53:42PM TIME.
10:53:42PM YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO GO AWAY.
10:53:44PM EASTLAKE MALL, TAMPA BAY CENTER, UNIVERSITY SQUARE MALL,
10:53:50PM PINELLAS CLARK, CLEARWATER MALL, ALL GONE.
10:53:52PM THEY ARE ALL GONE.
10:53:53PM IT IS JUST -- A DYING -- SOMETHING IS GOING TO GO THERE.
10:53:56PM IN NOT THIS, THEN WHAT.
10:53:58PM THING IS PROBABLY THE BEST FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:54:01PM AND, AGAIN, IT WILL BRING A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY FOR FOLKS
10:54:04PM THAT LIVE IN BEACH PARK AND SUNSET PARK AND ALL THOSE AREAS
10:54:08PM OF AMENITIES WITH LOWER IMPACT.
10:54:10PM I THINK IT IS A GREAT GROWTH THING FOR THE CITY AND PROVIDE
10:54:13PM SOME HOUSE THAT TAMPA DESPERATELY NEEDS.
10:54:20PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MAYBE THE INTERNET WILL BE GONE -- BUT
10:54:23PM ANYWAY, NOT TO JOKE AROUND, IT IS -- IT IS A PRIMARY IN THE
10:54:26PM CITY OF TAMPA, BUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS TO BE PROTECTED
10:54:29PM BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
10:54:30PM AND IT HAS GOT TO COME TO SOMETHING, BECAUSE IT IS GETTING
10:54:35PM -- PEOPLE GET FRUSTRATED TO WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND GO
10:54:39PM DRIVE SOMEWHERE AND CAN'T GET THERE.
10:54:41PM THAT IS WHERE THE CITY IS WITH THE GROWTH AND PART OF THE
10:54:44PM PRICE YOU PAY WHEN YOU HAVE PROSPERITY.
10:54:46PM IT IS A DIFFICULT THING AND DIFFICULT DECISION.
10:54:48PM BUT PEOPLE CHOSE TO COME TO TAMPA.
10:54:51PM STAY THERE FOREVER AND DIDN'T LIKE IT AND THEY SAID COMING
10:55:00PM BACK.
10:55:00PM WHY ARE YOU LIVING HERE NOW.
10:55:01PM THAT IS WHAT IT IS.
10:55:02PM SO THANK GOD THAT THE SUN STILL SHINES IN TAMPA AND GOD HAS
10:55:10PM BEEN KIND TO US AND ONE OF THE BEST CITIES IN THE WORLD AND
10:55:13PM EVEN TRAFFIC -- THE STREETCAR WAS NAMED THE BEST STREETCAR
10:55:16PM IN THE COUNTRY.
10:55:17PM I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS.
10:55:18PM BUT THAT IS WHAT THE TV SAID AND I HAVE TO BELIEVE IT.
10:55:21PM THANK GOD THAT WE LIVE HERE.
10:55:24PM AND THAT'S IT.
10:55:25PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON AND COUNCILMAN
10:55:28PM VIERA.
10:55:28PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: THANK YOU, CHAIR.

10:55:33PM THE CARVER CITY CIVIC ASSOCIATION WHICH IS A QUARTER OF A
10:55:36PM MILE FROM WESTSHORE.
10:55:37PM I DID MENTION THAT TO YOU BEFORE YOU FILED WHEN YOU PRESENT
10:55:40PM IT TO KNEE MANY, MANY MONTHS AGO.
10:55:42PM MAYBE YOU WILL DO THAT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
10:55:45PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN VIERA.
10:55:46PM >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:55:47PM WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS, A COUPLE OF THOUGHTS COME TO MIND.
10:55:51PM NUMBER ONE, OUTSTANDING USE OF THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY.
10:55:54PM IT IS A SHAME IT IS BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF LOCAL
10:55:59PM GOVERNMENT TO INVEST IN GROWING COMMUNITIES AND THIS TO ME
10:56:03PM IS THE REAL CHALLENGE.
10:56:04PM I WILL BE SUPPORTING THIS.
10:56:05PM I THINK THIS IS THE BEST USE FOR IT.
10:56:08PM I KNOW THAT -- YOU KNOW, THEY ARE GOING TO BE MEETING WITH
10:56:11PM -- WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING TO
10:56:13PM MAKE THE -- THE NEEDED CHANGES TO THE EXTENT THAT CAN BE
10:56:17PM DONE TO MOVE THIS THING FORWARD.
10:56:19PM I KNOW THAT IS AN OPPORTUNITY THAT -- FOR WHICH YOU MIGHT AS
10:56:23PM WELL JUMP.
