6:02:50PM >>KRISTIN MORA: [MICROPHONE NOT ON]
6:02:54PM [MICROPHONE NOT ON]
6:03:03PM -- A 24-INCH OR LARGER TREE.
6:03:15PM IT'S ONE OF THE SPECIES THAT IN THE FUTURE WOULD QUALIFY AS
6:03:18PM GRAND.
6:03:18PM WE ALSO ADDED A DEFINITION FOR TREE REMOVAL ZONE, ELIGIBLE
6:03:22PM LOTS.
6:03:23PM THOSE ARE THE LOTS THAT WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE TREE
6:03:25PM REMOVAL ZONE AS WELL AS THE NEW AUTOMATIC SETBACK
6:03:29PM REDUCTIONS.
6:03:30PM THANK YOU.
6:03:33PM THE DEFINITION HAS A -- HAS AN EXCEPTION FOR THE PARKLAND
6:03:40PM ESTATES WHICH WE DISCUSSED ON THE DECEMBER 6 ITEM.
6:03:43PM PARKLAND ESTATES HAS A STATE LAW THAT MAKES THEM VERY UNIQUE
6:03:47PM IN TERMS OF APPLICATION OF THESE VARIOUS CODE PROVISIONS.
6:03:50PM SO WE FELT THAT THEY COULD BE ACCEPTED SAFELY FROM THESE
6:03:54PM PROVISIONS AND THAT IS INCLUDED IN THIS DRAFT.
6:03:58PM >>HARRY COHEN: MS. MORA, JUST TO BE CLEAR, IF WE WERE TO
6:04:02PM MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS, WE HAVE TO TRANSMIT THIS TO THE
6:04:05PM PLANNING COMMISSION, CORRECT?
6:04:06PM >>KRISTIN MORA: THAT'S CORRECT.
6:04:07PM >>HARRY COHEN: THAT WOULD BE OUR NEXT MOVE.
6:04:09PM >>KRISTIN MORA: THAT'S CORRECT, COUNCILMAN.
6:04:10PM GOING VERY BRIEFLY THROUGH THESE CHANGES, IT DOES HAVE AN
6:04:13PM OPPORTUNITY FOR DESIGN EXCEPTION 2 FOR 25% SIDE YARD WITH
6:04:17PM THE CRITERIA THAT IT HAS TO BE IN ORDER TO PRESERVE A
6:04:21PM SPECIMEN OR GRAND TREE AS DISCUSSED ON DECEMBER 6th.
6:04:24PM AND THEN THE FINAL CHANGE IS AN AUTOMATIC REDUCTION OF 25%
6:04:28PM FOR FRONT AND CORNER YARDS, 1 FOOT FOR SIDE YARDS, 40%
6:04:32PM REDUCTION FOR REAR YARDS, AND A 10% INCREASE OF BUILDING
6:04:37PM HEIGHT, AGAIN, IN ORDER TO SAVE A SPECIMEN OR GRAND TREE.
6:04:41PM THESE ARE SIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONS.
6:04:44PM THEY WILL BE AUTOMATIC WITHOUT ANY NOTICE OR AN OPPORTUNITY
6:04:47PM FOR APPEAL.
6:04:47PM SO IF THIS MEETS COUNCIL'S -- IF THIS MEETS WHAT COUNCIL
6:04:57PM WANTS TO DO, YOUR NEXT STEP, AS COUNCILMAN COHEN NOTED,
6:05:00PM WOULD BE TO TRANSMIT THIS TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION THIS

6:06:57PM IT IS AN EVACUATION ZONE D.
6:07:00PM THIS IS THE AERIAL.
6:07:01PM IT'S LOCATED ALONG HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE.
6:07:03PM THERE IS A WAWA RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET.
6:07:06PM THIS IS A STORAGE FACILITY, SO THERE'S A GREAT COMMERCIAL
6:07:10PM PRESENCE ALONG HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE ALREADY.
6:07:12PM AND THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE IS COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35,
6:07:16PM WAYS THAT RED THAT WE SEE ALONG HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE.
6:07:19PM AS YOU MOVE NORTH FROM THE SUBJECT SITE, THIS IS RESIDENTIAL
6:07:22PM 20 AND THEN RESIDENTIAL 10, PROVIDING THAT TRANSITION.
6:07:25PM STAFF DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
6:07:29PM AS CG IS AN ALLOWABLE USE OR ALLOWABLE ZONING DISTRICT IN
6:07:32PM THAT COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35, AND IN THIS COMMERCIAL
6:07:37PM CORRIDOR WE FOUND IT WOULD BE COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE.
6:07:40PM THANK YOU SO MUCH.
6:07:41PM I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
6:07:51PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO.
6:07:54PM THIS IS AN APPLICATION TO REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM
6:07:56PM COMMERCIAL GENERAL AND RS-50 TO COMMERCIAL GENERAL.
6:07:59PM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS IN GREEN ON WEST HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE
6:08:04PM AND IT BACKS UP AGAINST WEST MOHAWK AVENUE.
6:08:08PM IT ACTUALLY CURRENTLY HAS SPLIT ZONING.
6:08:10PM SO THE SOUTHERN HALF IS ALREADY COMMERCIAL GENERAL.
6:08:13PM THE NORTHERN HALF IS IN THE RS-50 ZONING DISTRICT.
6:08:16PM THEY ARE WANTING TO HAVE THE ENTIRE PROPERTY ZONED
6:08:22PM COMMERCIAL GENERAL IN ORDER TO USE THE ENTIRE PROPERTY FOR
6:08:24PM COMMERCIAL GENERAL USES.
6:08:26PM HERE IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE.
6:08:29PM THIS IS ACROSS THE STREET, THE WAWA.
6:08:36PM TO THE EAST, FURTHER TO THE EAST AND THEN BACK NEXT DOOR TO
6:08:43PM THE WEST OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
6:08:45PM AS YOU CAN SEE, THESE ARE A SERIES.
6:08:47PM IT'S A COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR.
6:08:48PM ANOTHER COMMERCIAL USE.
6:08:51PM THIS IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, THE BACK OF IT FROM MOHAWK.
6:08:56PM AND THEN THESE ARE THE RESIDENTIAL HOUSES THAT FACE THE BACK
6:09:00PM OF THE PROPERTY ALONG MOHAWK.
6:09:02PM AS I STATED, THIS IS EUCLIDEAN REZONING DISTRICT, SO THERE
6:09:09PM ARE NO WAIVERS OR SITE PLANS TO APPROVE TONIGHT.
6:09:12PM ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS TO HAPPEN ON THE PROPERTY WOULD
6:09:15PM HAVE TO COMPLY WITH ALL CG STANDARDS AS WELL AS ALL
6:09:18PM DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOUND IN CHAPTER 27 AND APPLICABLE
6:09:22PM SECTIONS OF THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE.

6:09:34PM WEST ROME AVENUE INTERSECTION AND IT HAS 115 FEET OF LOT
6:09:40PM WIDTH BOTH ON HILLSBOROUGH AND MOHAWK.

6:09:46PM STANDARDS FOR THAT ZONING DISTRICT.
6:09:52PM AND THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMPLIANCE STAFF FOUND IT
6:09:55PM CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE OF ORDINANCES.

6:11:55PM IT'S A REZONING REQUEST FROM RS-60 TO RS-50.
6:12:02PM >> JENNIFER MALONE WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
6:12:05PM THIS IS IN SOUTH TAMPA.
6:12:07PM EVACUATION ZONE B.
6:12:08PM GADSDEN PARK IS THE CLOSEST PUBLIC RECREATIONAL FACILITY AND
6:12:12PM WE HAVE A HART ROUTE THAT CONNECTS THE SUBJECT SITE TO
6:12:15PM DOWNTOWN TAMPA.
6:12:16PM THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE RIGHT HERE.
6:12:19PM THIS IS ANDERSON AVENUE.
6:12:20PM IT'S JUST SOUTH OF INTERBAY.
6:12:22PM AND THEN HERE IS SOUTH DALE MABRY HIGHWAY.
6:12:24PM I HAVE A CIRCLE K ON THE CORNER AND THE DOLLAR GENERAL IN
6:12:28PM THE VICINITY.
6:12:29PM AND THEN THESE ARE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES.
6:12:32PM HERE'S THE FUTURE LAND USE.
6:12:35PM THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE IS RESIDENTIAL 10.
6:12:39PM ALONG SOUTH DALE MABRY HIGHWAY WE HAVE THE COMMUNITY
6:12:41PM COMMERCIAL 35.
6:12:42PM THAT IS THE PINK REPRESENTING THE COMMERCIAL USES.
6:12:45PM THIS IS RECREATIONAL OPEN SPACE, WHICH IS I BELIEVE GADSDEN
6:12:48PM PARK.
6:12:50PM TO THE EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
6:12:51PM AND THERE ARE SOME LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES TO THE SOUTH.
6:12:53PM THAT'S THE GRAY COLOR.
6:12:56PM STAFF DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
6:13:00PM THE RESIDENTIAL 10 ALLOWS FOR THOSE TEN DWELLING UNITS PER
6:13:05PM ACRE AS THE DENSITY.
6:13:07PM IF THIS REQUEST IS APPROVED TODAY THE SUBJECT SITE WOULD BE
6:13:09PM AT AN OVERALL DENSITY OF 6.9 UNITS PER ACRE.
6:13:12PM WE DID FIND THAT THIS WOULD BE COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE
6:13:16PM WITH THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AND COMPATIBLE WITH
6:13:18PM THE FUTURE -- UNDERLYING FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
6:13:21PM THANK YOU.
6:13:33PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO.
6:13:35PM HERE IS THE ZONING MAP OF THE PROPERTY.
6:13:37PM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS IN GREEN.
6:13:39PM AS YOU CAN SEE IT'S IN THE RS-60 ZONING DISTRICT.
6:13:42PM AS YOU CAN ALSO SEE, THERE HAVE BEEN A SERIES OF REZONINGS
6:13:48PM IN THIS AREA TO REDUCE THE LOT SIZE DOWN BELOW THE R 60
6:13:54PM STANDARDS.
6:13:55PM HERE IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
6:14:00PM WE'RE GOING TO GO EAST AND THEN KIND OF -- HERE IS THE
6:14:06PM PROPERTY.
6:14:06PM WE'RE GOING TO GO EAST AND THEN CROSS THE STREET AND KIND OF
6:14:09PM LOOK AT THE SURROUNDING HOUSES.
6:14:11PM SO HERE'S YOUR SUBJECT PROPERTY.
6:14:14PM THESE ARE ALL TAKEN FROM THE STREET.
6:14:16PM THIS IS AT 3611, TO THE EAST.
6:14:20PM FURTHER TO THE EAST.
6:14:22PM NOW WE'VE CROSSED THE STREET.
6:14:25PM WE'RE COMING BACK TOWARDS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
6:14:27PM YOU CAN SEE THE SPACING OF THE HOUSES BETWEEN EACH OTHER.
6:14:34PM STILL ACROSS THE STREET.
6:14:37PM SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSES.
6:14:40PM THEN THIS IS TO THE WEST OF THE PROPERTY AND THEN NEXT DOOR
6:14:43PM DIRECTLY TO THE WEST.
6:14:44PM WHENEVER WE HAVE A REZONING REQUEST TO GO FROM RS-60 TO
6:14:52PM RS-50, WE DO A MAP THAT SHOWS THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THE
6:14:58PM IMMEDIATE AREA.
6:14:59PM FOR THIS STUDY, THE RED ARE COMMERCIAL LOTS, SO THOSE WERE
6:15:05PM NOT INCLUDED, AND THEN THE YELLOW COLOR ARE TOWNHOMES.
6:15:08PM SO THOSE WEREN'T INCLUDED IN THE OVERALL STUDY.
6:15:11PM A TOTAL OF 112 LOTS WERE ANALYZED.
6:15:14PM 27 OF WHICH ARE EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN 65-FOOT WIDE LOTS
6:15:19PM LEAVING 73 OR A MAJORITY OF WHICH LESS THAN 60 FEET WIDE.
6:15:23PM OF THE SUBJECT BLOCK, WHICH IS THIS ENTIRE BLOCK, THERE ARE
6:15:28PM 41 LOTS.
6:15:29PM 22 OF WHICH ARE 60 FEET WIDE OR GREATER AND THEN REMAINING
6:15:33PM 78% ARE LESS THAN 60 FEET WIDE.
6:15:36PM FOR THE SUBJECT BLOCK FACE WHICH IS THIS NORTHERN SIDE OF
6:15:39PM ANDERSON AVENUE, THERE ARE 21 TOTAL LOTS, 19 OF WHICH ARE
6:15:43PM 60 FEET WIDE OR WIDER, AND THE REMAINING 81% IS LESS THAN
6:15:48PM 60 FEET WIDE.
6:15:49PM AND THEN FOR THIS BLOCK, THE 3600 BLOCK, BEING THE BLOCK
6:15:54PM FACE AS WELL AS ACROSS THE STREET, THERE ARE 40 LOTS.
6:15:57PM 33% ARE 60 FEET WIDE OR LARGER.
6:16:00PM AND THEN THE REMAINING 67% ARE LESS THAN 60 FEET WIDE.
6:16:04PM AS YOU CAN SEE IN ALL FOUR CATEGORIES THAT WERE ANALYZED,
6:16:09PM EVERY ONE HAD OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF LOTS LESS THAN
6:16:14PM 60 FEET WIDE.
6:16:15PM THE TOTAL LOT IS 12,500 SQUARE FEET.
6:16:23PM AND IT IS 100 FEET WIDE.
6:16:26PM IF APPROVED, THE RS-50 ZONING DISTRICT COULD BE SPLIT INTO
6:16:29PM TWO LOTS.
6:16:30PM THIS IS EUCLIDEAN REZONING SO THERE'S NO SITE PLAN TO REVIEW
6:16:33PM AND NO WAIVERS TO CONSIDER.
6:16:34PM THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL COMMENTS FROM THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
6:16:39PM COMPLIANCE STAFF.
6:16:39PM ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT WERE TO OCCUR ON THIS PROPERTY WOULD
6:16:42PM HAVE TO COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE ZONING STANDARDS OF THE
6:16:45PM RS-50 ZONING DISTRICT.
6:16:46PM AFTER THE ANALYSIS, THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMPLIANCE STAFF
6:16:51PM REVIEWED THE APPLICATION AND FOUND IT CONSISTENT WITH THE
6:16:53PM OVERALL DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AS WELL AS CITY OF TAMPA CODE OF
6:16:56PM ORDINANCES.
6:16:59PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?

6:17:11PM I'M REPRESENTING KARIN HESSE, WHO IS THE PETITIONER ON THIS
6:17:15PM PROJECT.
6:17:16PM BASICALLY, THIS RESTORES THE 1946 ORIGINAL PLAT THAT WERE
6:17:22PM 50-FOOT LOTS.
6:17:23PM AND IN THIS CASE, IT WILL ALLOW FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF
6:17:26PM THESE TWO PARTICULAR LOTS.

6:19:15PM RM-16 TO RM-18.
6:19:20PM >>Jennifer Malone: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
6:19:22PM THIS IS LOCATED IN SOUTH TAMPA.
6:19:23PM IT IS IN EVACUATION ZONE C.
6:19:27PM CORONA PARK IS THE CLOSEST RECREATIONAL FACILITY.
6:19:30PM I HAVE AN AERIAL FOR YOU.
6:19:32PM I'M NOT GREAT AT PRONOUNCING THE STREET NAME, BUT HERE IT
6:19:41PM IS.
6:19:41PM I ALSO HAVE SOUTH HIMES AVENUE AND WEST BAY TO BAY BOULEVARD
6:19:45PM TO THE SOUTH.
6:19:45PM AND THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE.
6:19:47PM THIS IS A CHURCH TO THE SOUTH ALONG WEST BAY TO BAY

6:19:50PM AND WE ALSO HAVE SOME COMMERCIAL USES IN THIS AREA.
6:19:53PM THIS PORTION OF THE STREET, WE HAVE SOME ATTACHED TOWNHOMES,
6:19:57PM SOME DUPLEXES, KIND OF A MIX OF THOSE RESIDENTIAL TYPES,
6:20:01PM WHICH IS REFLECTED ON OUR FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
6:20:04PM IT'S RESIDENTIAL 20, WHICH ALLOWS FOR THE MEDIUM DENSITY,
6:20:08PM RESIDENTIAL TO THE NORTH, THAT ORANGE IS RESIDENTIAL 10.
6:20:11PM I HAVE COMMUNITY MIXED USE-35 ALONG WEST BAY TO BAY
6:20:14PM BOULEVARD AND THEN THE YELLOW IS RESIDENTIAL 6.
6:20:16PM THE RESIDENTIAL 20 CATEGORY DOES PROVIDE FOR THAT SENSITIVE
6:20:21PM TRANSITION BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL 10 AND THE COMMUNITY
6:20:24PM COMMERCIAL 35 AS WE MOVE NORTH FROM WEST BAY TO BAY
6:20:29PM BOULEVARD.
6:20:29PM AND THIS REZONING REQUEST IS WITHIN THAT INTENT OF THAT
6:20:32PM RESIDENTIAL 20, KEEPING WITH THAT MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL
6:20:36PM CATEGORY.
6:20:36PM SO WE DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT.
6:20:38PM WE ALSO FOUND THAT IT WOULD FURTHER THE POLICY DIRECTION TO
6:20:42PM MAKE AN EFFECTIVE USE OF UNDERUTILIZED LAND AND INCREASE THE
6:20:47PM AVAILABLE HOUSING IN THIS AREA OF THE CITY.
6:20:49PM I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

6:21:09PM BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE LOT ONLY .11 ACRES, AND THEY
6:21:15PM CURRENTLY HAVE TWO DWELLING UNITS ON THE SITE.
6:21:19PM THEY'RE BELOW THE ACREAGE THAT THEY NEED TO HAVE TWO

6:21:26PM AND PER THE NONCONFORMING CHAPTER, THEY ARE SEVERELY LIMITED
6:21:33PM ON WHAT THEY CAN DO TO THE SECOND UNIT.
6:21:36PM THEY CAN ONLY DO BASIC REPAIRS.
6:21:38PM WITH THE RM 18 ZONING DISTRICT THAT WOULD GIVE THEM FULL TWO
6:21:41PM DWELLING UNITS SO THEY COULD EXERCISE THEIR PROPERTY RIGHTS
6:21:45PM TO FULLY EXECUTE A SECOND DWELLING UNIT AS OPPOSED TO
6:21:48PM GETTING LOCKED INTO THE EXISTING STRUCTURE AND THE EXISTING
6:21:51PM UNIT THAT'S THERE NOW.

6:22:30PM CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE OF ORDINANCES.

6:24:20PM >>Jennifer Malone: JENNIFER MALONE WITH YOUR PLANNING
6:24:23PM COMMISSION STAFF.
6:24:24PM THIS IS GOING TO LOOK VERY FAMILIAR.
6:24:25PM THIS CAME BEFORE YOU AS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT.
6:24:29PM IT WAS PART OF THE FEBRUARY 2018 CYCLE.
6:24:32PM I BELIEVE IT CAME BEFORE YOU LAST JUNE.
6:24:35PM IT'S ON NORTH TAMPA STREET.
6:24:38PM IT'S ABOUT A BLOCK AWAY FROM NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE.
6:24:40PM THIS IS A HOME DEPOT PARKING LOT.
6:24:43PM THESE ARE COMMERCIAL USES RIGHT HERE AND THEN RESIDENTIAL
6:24:47PM USES AS YOU MOVE AWAY FROM IT.
6:24:49PM IT IS LOCATED IN THE UNIVERSITY PLANNING DISTRICT.
6:24:52PM EVACUATION ZONE E.
6:24:54PM ON YOUR FUTURE LAND USE MAP, WE HAVE THE COMMUNITY MIXED
6:24:59PM USE-35, WHICH IS THAT HOME DEPOT PARKING LOT.
6:25:02PM I POINTED OUT EARLIER COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35.
6:25:04PM THIS IS RESIDENTIAL 20.
6:25:06PM AS PART OF THE REQUEST THAT WAS BEFORE YOU LAST YEAR, THIS
6:25:10PM BLOCK WAS CHANGED TO THE RESIDENTIAL 20 FUTURE LAND USE
6:25:13PM DESIGNATION.
6:25:14PM NOW THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
6:25:17PM THEN AS WE MOVE FURTHER, IT TRANSITIONS TO THAT RESIDENTIAL
6:25:23PM 10.
6:25:23PM STAFF DID FIND THIS REQUEST CONSISTENT.
6:25:25PM WE DID FIND THAT THIS PRIDES LOGICAL TRANSITION IN DENSITY
6:25:29PM AS WE MOVE AWAY FROM NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE.
6:25:31PM IT'S STILL THAT MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT, SO WE
6:25:37PM DID FIND THAT IT WOULD BE CONSISTENT, COMPARABLE AND
6:25:40PM COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING USES.
6:25:42PM AND I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
6:25:44PM THANK YOU.
6:25:50PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO.
6:25:51PM HERE IS THE ZONING MAP.
6:25:55PM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS IN GREEN.
6:25:56PM AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S IN A LARGE AREA OF THE RS-50 ZONING
6:26:00PM DISTRICT.
6:26:01PM AND THEN IT GOES TO COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE ALONG FLORIDA
6:26:04PM AVENUE.
6:26:04PM AS JENNIFER STATED, THIS WENT -- THIS PORTION OF THE BLOCK
6:26:09PM WENT THROUGH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TO CHANGE THE
6:26:11PM FUTURE LAND USE TO R-20, WHICH ALLOWS CONSIDERATION OF
6:26:15PM MULTIFAMILY DENSITY IN ZONING DISTRICTS.
6:26:17PM THE CURRENT PROPERTY IS A HOUSE, AND THEN BEHIND IT IS A
6:26:22PM SEMI DETACHED STRUCTURE EQUALING THREE TOTAL DWELLING UNITS
6:26:27PM THAT ARE ALL LEGAL NONCONFORMING.
6:26:30PM AGAIN, LIKE THE LAST CASE, WHEN A STRUCTURE -- LEGAL
6:26:35PM NONCONFORMING, THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE LIMITED AS TO WHAT
6:26:39PM CAN BE DONE WITH THE USE AND/OR STRUCTURES.
6:26:41PM IF THIS REZONING WERE TO BE APPROVED TO RM-18, THEY ARE
6:26:45PM ALLOWED TO HAVE TWO DWELLING UNITS TOTAL.
6:26:49PM THE EXISTING HOUSE WILL REMAIN AND THEN THE SEMI-DETACHED
6:26:53PM STRUCTURE IN THE BACK WILL BE CONVERTED INTO ONE DWELLING
6:26:56PM UNIT LEAVING TWO TOTAL DWELLING UNITS ON THE SITE.
6:27:00PM SORRY ABOUT THAT.
6:27:02PM HERE'S THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
6:27:05PM HERE'S THE HOUSE IN THE FRONT.
6:27:06PM AND THE TWO FAMILY UNITS IN THE BACK THAT ARE TO BE
6:27:12PM CONVERTED TO A HOUSE OR A SINGLE DWELLING.
6:27:14PM TO THE NORTH OF THE PROPERTY AT 8716, ACROSS THE STREET.
6:27:25PM ALL SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSES.
6:27:28PM THERE'S NO SITE PLAN TO REVIEW AND NO WAIVERS.
6:27:33PM IF THE REZONING WERE TO BE APPROVED, THEY WOULD HAVE TO
6:27:38PM COMPLY WITH ALL RM-18 ZONING STANDARDS.
6:27:40PM THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL COMMENTS FROM STAFF.

6:34:51PM 2019 AT 9:30 A.M.
6:34:53PM >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
6:34:53PM GO TO ITEM NUMBER 11.
6:34:59PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO.
6:35:00PM ITEM NUMBER 11 IS REZ 18-100.
6:35:05PM IT'S A REZONING FROM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO PLANNED
6:35:07PM DEVELOPMENT AT THE PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 4707, 4713, AND
6:35:12PM 4717 WEST McCOY STREET.
6:35:19PM >>Jennifer Malone: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
6:35:20PM JENNIFER MALONE WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
6:35:22PM THIS IS IN THE SOUTH TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT.
6:35:25PM IT IS IN A COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA IN EVACUATION ZONE A.
6:35:29PM PORT TAMPA PARK AND PORT TAMPA COMMUNITY CENTER ARE ABOUT
6:35:33PM .2 MILES TO THE EAST.
6:35:34PM THAT'S THE PUBLIC RECREATIONAL FACILITY AND HART ROUTE 17
6:35:37PM PROVIDES TRANSIT.
6:35:38PM TO THE SUBJECT SITE.
6:35:40PM HERE'S WHERE IT'S LOCATED.
6:35:43PM SOUTH WESTSHORE, AT THE CORNER OF SOUTH WESTSHORE BOULEVARD
6:35:46PM AND WEST --
6:35:47PM [NO ENCODER]
6:36:10PM [NO ENCODER]
6:36:19PM [NO ENCODER]
6:36:21PM >> -- IN THE AREA.
6:36:22PM THIS IS THE PARK, OPEN RECREATIONAL SPACE.
6:36:25PM WE DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT.
6:36:28PM THE TRANSITIONAL USE 24 IS A UNIQUE CATEGORY.
6:36:31PM IT WAS ORIGINALLY PLACED IN AREAS OF THE CITY THAT DIDN'T
6:36:33PM HAVE AN IDENTIFIABLE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN.
6:36:35PM HOWEVER, IN THIS IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA, ESPECIALLY IN
6:36:38PM SOUTH TAMPA, STAFF HAS FOUND THAT PARCELS WITH THIS
6:36:42PM DESIGNATION ARE BEING REDEVELOPED FOR MODERATE DENSITY
6:36:45PM RESIDENTIAL, SUCH AS THE PARCEL TO THE NORTH THAT HAS THE
6:36:48PM SAME FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY.
6:36:50PM WE DID FIND THIS WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE UNDERLYING
6:36:54PM FUTURE LAND USE AND THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN.
6:36:56PM THE 224 IS A UNIQUE CATEGORY AND IT ALLOWS FOR A LOT OF
6:37:00PM DIFFERENT ZONING DISTRICTS WHICH WE'VE SEEN IN OTHER AREAS
6:37:03PM OF THE CITY.
6:37:04PM WE DID FIND IT WAS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE AND CONSISTENT
6:37:06PM WITH THE POLICY DIRECTION THAT ALSO ENCOURAGES UTILIZING
6:37:09PM VACANT LAND TO FURTHER THE PREFERENCES OF TAMPA'S -- FOR THE
6:37:15PM HOUSING FOR ITS FUTURE RESIDENTS.
6:37:16PM I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
6:37:17PM THANK YOU.
6:37:25PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO.
6:37:26PM HERE IS THE ZONING MAP.
6:37:30PM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS IN GREEN.
6:37:31PM AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S PART OF A LARGER PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.
6:37:34PM THE LARGER PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WAS APPROVED IN 2011.
6:37:38PM CASE Z 11-46 FOR MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT AND THEN THIS
6:37:44PM PORTION WAS SLATED TO BE COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL.
6:37:48PM THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY VACANT.
6:37:52PM IT HAS BEEN VACANT SINCE 2011.
6:37:54PM SO THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE WANTING TO CONVERT THIS PIECE TO
6:37:57PM MULTIFAMILY, ACTUALLY TO SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED TO KIND OF
6:38:02PM CLOSE OUT THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES.
6:38:05PM HERE'S THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
6:38:10PM EXACTLY ONE ACRE.
6:38:13PM AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S VACANT.
6:38:18PM HERE'S THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM McCOY.
6:38:19PM THIS IS THE APARTMENT DEVELOPMENT THAT, AGAIN, WAS THE
6:38:26PM INITIAL LARGER PHASE OF THE 2011 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.
6:38:30PM THIS IS ALL TAKEN FROM McCOY.
6:38:34PM ACROSS McCOY IS SOME OPEN STORAGE AND A SINGLE-FAMILY
6:38:39PM HOUSE.
6:38:41PM AND THEN ON THE CORNER, THE OPPOSITE CORNER OF WESTSHORE AND
6:38:45PM McCOY, SOME RESIDENTIAL UNITS, SIMILARLY, SOME RESIDENTIAL
6:38:53PM UNITS DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET ON WESTSHORE, AND THEN THIS
6:38:59PM IS TO THE NORTH OF WESTSHORE, THE WESTSHORE SIDE AGAIN OF
6:39:02PM THE EXISTING PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR THE APARTMENTS.
6:39:04PM HERE'S THE SITE PLAN THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING.
6:39:15PM THEY ARE REQUESTING A TOTAL OF 23 DWELLING UNITS WHICH IS
6:39:27PM ALLOWABLE UNDER THEIR CURRENT FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
6:39:31PM A SERIES OF BUILDINGS, THERE'S FOUR, SORRY, FIVE IN THIS
6:39:34PM BUILDING, FIVE IN THIS.
6:39:35PM FOUR, FIVE AND FOUR.
6:39:36PM THEY ARE ASKING FOR A NUMBER OF WAIVERS AND I'LL KIND OF
6:39:41PM WALK YOU THROUGH THOSE.
6:39:43PM THEY ARE ASKING FOR 100% TREE REDUCTION.
6:39:47PM BECAUSE THEY ARE AN ACRE, ALL PROPERTIES AN ACRE OR LARGER
6:39:51PM ARE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN 50% OF THE EXISTING TREES.
6:39:54PM THEY ARE ASKING FOR A WAIVER TO REMOVE ALL EXISTING TREES.
6:39:58PM STAFF IS NOT IN SUPPORT OF THIS WAIVER.
6:40:01PM WE FEEL THE APPLICANT COULD HAVE DESIGNED A PROJECT TO
6:40:03PM RETAIN SOME OF THE EXISTING TREES ON-SITE.
6:40:07PM THEY ARE ALSO ASKING TO PAY INTO THE TREE TRUST FUND PER
6:40:12PM SECTION 13165D BECAUSE OF THE LIMITED SPACE THEY HAVE FOR
6:40:17PM THE MITIGATION AND THE REQUIRED TREE PLANTING.
6:40:20PM THEY ARE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE TREES THEY ARE REMOVING AS
6:40:26PM WELL AS TO PUT IN SOME PARKING LOT TREES AND LANDSCAPING FOR
6:40:28PM THE PROJECT ITSELF.
6:40:29PM THERE'S VERY LIMITED GREENSPACE LEFT ON THE PROPERTY.
6:40:34PM THESE ARE SIDEWALKS.
6:40:35PM THESE ARE SIDEWALKS TO THE NORTH.
6:40:37PM THE ONLY GREENSPACE YOU HAVE ARE KIND OF LIMITED AREAS THAT
6:40:42PM WOULD NOT MEET THE PROTECTED RADII FOR NEW PLANTINGS.
6:40:46PM THEY ARE ASKING FOR A WAIVER TO PAY INTO THE TREE TRUST FUND
6:40:49PM FOR TREES NOT MITIGATED ON-SITE.
6:40:51PM THE THIRD WAIVER, TOTAL OF SEVEN WAIVERS FOR THIS
6:40:55PM APPLICATION.
6:40:56PM THIRD WAIVER, THERE'S A CODE PROVISION FOR BUILDING
6:41:00PM SEPARATION BASED ON THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDINGS AND THE
6:41:05PM LENGTHS OF THE BUILDINGS.
6:41:06PM THERE IS A FORMULA THAT WE USE THAT'S BUILT INTO THE CODE.
6:41:10PM THE HEIGHT OF THESE BUILDINGS THEY ARE PROPOSING IS 35 FEET.
6:41:13PM BECAUSE OF THE CALCULATIONS, THESE BUILDINGS ARE ALL KIND OF
6:41:18PM TOO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER.
6:41:19PM I DON'T GO THROUGH THE EXACT NUMBERS, BUT BUILDINGS 2 AND 5
6:41:23PM ARE SUPPOSED TO BE 23.5 FEET, ONLY 20 FEET APART.
6:41:28PM 2 AND 4, SUPPOSED TO BE 23.5.
6:41:30PM THEY ARE ONLY 20 FEET APART.
6:41:32PM BASICALLY, THERE IS A WAIVER REQUEST KIND OF TO ALLOW FOR
6:41:35PM THESE BUILDINGS TO BE CLOSER.
6:41:37PM THE FOURTH WAIVER IS THE SECTION 27282.9 TO ALLOW THE FRONT
6:41:45PM DOORS OF THESE BUILDINGS TO NOT FACE A RIGHT-OF-WAY.
6:41:48PM AGAIN, WE HAVE WESTSHORE OVER HERE, AND THEN McCOY DOWN
6:41:52PM HERE.
6:41:53PM THESE UNITS ALL FACE McCOY.
6:41:55PM THESE FACE WESTSHORE WITH THE FRONT DOORS.
6:41:57PM BUT THESE UNITS, THE FRONT DOORS ACTUALLY FACE THE REAR OF
6:42:00PM THE PROPERTY OR ACTUALLY FACE THE EXISTING APARTMENT
6:42:02PM BUILDINGS.
6:42:03PM SO THAT REQUIRES ANOTHER WAIVER.
6:42:04PM THEY ARE ASKING FOR A WAIVER FROM 27283.12 TO REDUCE DRIVE
6:42:14PM AISLE FROM 24 FEET TO 20 FEET.
6:42:16PM I BELIEVE IT IS IN THIS AREA HERE.
6:42:21PM AND THERE'S A 20-FOOT DRIVE AISLE HERE.
6:42:24PM BUT THEY HAVE RECESSED THE GARAGE DOOR, SO I BELIEVE THEY
6:42:30PM MEET IT IN THAT LOCATION.
6:42:31PM ANOTHER WAIVER, 27285 TO REDUCE THE VEHICLE USE AREA
6:42:36PM GREENSPACE REQUIREMENT BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF INTERNAL
6:42:40PM DRIVE AISLES AND PARKING, THEY'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE 1673
6:42:44PM SQUARE FEET OF GREENSPACE, AND THEY ARE ONLY PROVIDING 1293
6:42:49PM SQUARE FEET OF GREENSPACE.
6:42:50PM SO IF THAT WAIVER WERE TO BE APPROVED THEY'D HAVE TO PAY
6:42:53PM INTO THE GREENSPACE FUND FOR DISTRICT 6.
6:42:56PM AND THE LAST WAIVER IS TO REDUCE THE VUA GREENSPACE BUFFER
6:43:03PM FROM 3 FEET TO 1 FOOT.
6:43:05PM ALONG THE NORTH PROPERTY LINE, AGAIN, SUBJECT TO THE FEE IN
6:43:11PM LIEU PAYMENT FOR DISTRICT 6.
6:43:13PM THEY ARE REQUIRED TO BE THREE FEET.
6:43:15PM THEY ONLY MEASURE ABOUT ONE FOOT THERE.
6:43:17PM THE SETBACKS THAT THEY ARE PROPOSING, 14 FEET NORTH, 10 FEET
6:43:24PM EAST, 5 FEET AND SOUTH 14.
6:43:26PM AS I STATED THEY ARE AT A 35-FOOT MAXIMUM HEIGHT.
6:43:32PM A TOTAL OF 52 PARKING SPACES ARE PROVIDED WHICH INCLUDE
6:43:35PM GUEST PARKING SPACES AND THEY ARE PROVIDING ALL 52 REQUIRED
6:43:39PM PARKING SPACES ON-SITE THROUGH ACCOMMODATION OF GARAGE
6:43:42PM SPACES AS WELL AS SURFACE PARKING.
6:43:44PM IF APPROVED, THERE ARE CHANGES THAT STAFF IS RECOMMENDING TO
6:43:51PM CLEAN UP THE SITE PLAN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
6:43:55PM LAND DEVELOPMENT, BECAUSE OF THE NATURE AND THE NUMBER OF
6:44:01PM WAIVERS THEY ARE REQUESTING AND GIVEN THE SITE IS VACANT,
6:44:04PM LAND DEVELOPMENT DID FIND THIS INCONSISTENT.
6:44:07PM NATURAL RESOURCES ALSO FOUND IT INCONSISTENT BECAUSE OF
6:44:10PM EXCEEDING THE 50% TREE REMOVAL, ASKING TO REMOVE ALL TREES
6:44:15PM ON-SITE.
6:44:18PM TRANSPORTATION FOUND IT INCONSISTENT BECAUSE OF THE DRIVE
6:44:22PM AISLE WIDTH.
6:44:22PM REQUIRED TO BE 24 FEET WIDE.
6:44:24PM THEY ARE ASKING FOR A WAIVER TO GO DOWN TO 20 FEET.
6:44:27PM >>FRANK REDDICK: MR. COHEN.
6:44:30PM >>HARRY COHEN: I'D LIKE HER TO FINISH.
6:44:32PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: THANK YOU.
6:44:33PM THOSE ARE ALL THE CHANGES BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
6:44:38PM OVERALL, THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMPLIANCE STAFF FOUND IT
6:44:42PM INCONSISTENT, AGAIN, REFERENCE TO TRANSPORTATION FOR DRIVE
6:44:44PM AISLE WIDTH, NATURAL RESOURCES AND LAND DEVELOPMENT DUE TO
6:44:48PM TREE PRESERVATION AND GREENSPACE PROVISION.
6:44:51PM IN THE EVENT CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THE WAIVERS, PLEASE MAKE
6:44:55PM A MOTION TO HAVE THE CHANGES MADE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
6:45:00PM READING PER THE REVISION SHEET.
6:45:02PM MR. COHEN.
6:45:03PM >>HARRY COHEN: WE THINK THAT WE DID THIS IN 2011.
6:45:09PM I THINK IT WAS DONE BY SOME OF US THAT ARE SITTING UP HERE.
6:45:13PM BUT DO YOU HAVE A LITTLE HISTORY OF WHAT THE FULL PD WAS
6:45:21PM THAT WAS APPROVED IN 2011?
6:45:23PM HOW DID THIS PIECE FIT INTO THE OTHER TWO PIECES THAT WERE
6:45:26PM APPROVED?
6:45:38PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: SO THIS IS THE LARGER -- JENNIFER, CAN I
6:45:45PM BORROW YOUR AERIAL, PLEASE?
6:45:48PM SO THIS IS THE OVERALL PD THAT WAS FIRST APPROVED IN '07 AND
6:45:51PM THEN REVISED IN 2011.
6:45:53PM I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS KIND OF BROKEN UP INTO TWO SECTIONS.
6:45:59PM THIS SECTION WAS ALWAYS SUPPOSED TO BE MULTIFAMILY AND THEN
6:46:01PM THIS SECTION WAS GOING TO HAVE RESIDENTIAL AND RETAIL USES.
6:46:06PM I'M SORRY, RESTAURANTS AND RETAIL USES AS ALLOWABLE USES.
6:46:12PM AND I KNOW THE APPLICANT AND THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE
6:46:16PM CAN SPEAK IN MORE DETAIL.
6:46:17PM IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE PROPERTY SAT EMPTY FOR THE
6:46:21PM PAST EIGHT YEARS.
6:46:22PM SO THEY ARE WANTING TO EXERCISE THE OPTION TO IN EFFECT
6:46:26PM REVISE THE PROPOSAL TO ELIMINATE THIS FROM HAVING THE OPTION
6:46:30PM FOR RETAIL AND RESTAURANT AND CONVERT IT TO RESIDENTIAL.
6:46:32PM ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
6:46:38PM NO.
6:46:42PM OKAY.
6:46:42PM THANK YOU.
6:46:58PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
6:46:59PM I'M ROY MAZUR.
6:47:00PM I'M AN ENGINEER AND A PLANNER WITH WRA ENGINEERING
6:47:04PM REPRESENTING WEEKLEY HOMES.
6:47:05PM WE'RE LOOKING TO DEVELOP 23 TOWNHOMES ON THIS ACRE LOT.
6:47:10PM THAT IS THE REASON WHY WE'RE IN FRONT OF YOU HERE.
6:47:12PM TO MAKE THAT SWITCH FROM THE RESTAURANT USE TO THE
6:47:15PM RESIDENTIAL IS BEYOND THE ADMINISTRATIVE DISCRETION OF STAFF
6:47:21PM AND SO A PD IS REQUIRED.
6:47:23PM TAKE A LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN HERE, AND STAFF WENT THROUGH
6:47:35PM THE ADJACENT USES.
6:47:37PM YOU HAVE THE JEFFERSON TOWNHOMES TO THE NORTH, WHICH IS AT
6:47:41PM 24 UNITS PER ACRE.
6:47:43PM WE HAVE 23 UNITS PER ACRE.
6:47:44PM THERE'S HIGHER DENSITIES, SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL ACROSS THE
6:47:50PM STREET.
6:47:50PM TO THE SOUTH OF US IS CURRENTLY OPEN STORAGE; HOWEVER,
6:47:54PM THERE'S SOME --
6:47:59PM [NO ENCODER]
6:48:23PM [NO ENCODER]
6:48:28PM [NO ENCODER]
6:48:31PM >> -- PASTURE, ESSENTIALLY, FOR SEVEN YEARS.
6:48:33PM POINT OF MY PRESENTATION IS WE FEEL OUR TOWNHOME PROJECT IS
6:48:40PM GOING TO ADD A COMPLEMENTARY ALTERNATIVE HOUSING CHOICE TO
6:48:43PM THE AREA.
6:48:44PM WHILE NOT ADDING AN ADDITIONAL BURDEN TO THE AREA'S
6:48:48PM INFRASTRUCTURE.
6:48:48PM JUST HAVE SOME STATEMENTS TO MAKE THAT DISCUSSION.
6:48:51PM INITIALLY WHEN I SAY THAT WE'RE ADDING ANOTHER HOUSING
6:48:56PM CHOICE, I'M REFERRING TO ADDING TOWNHOMES IN AN AREA HERE
6:48:59PM WHERE YOU HAVE AN APARTMENT CHOICE.
6:49:02PM YOU HAVE HIGH DENSITY SUBURBAN TO THE NORTH, A LITTLE LOWER
6:49:05PM DENSITY SUBURBAN. NOW WE'RE ALSO ADDING TOWNHOMES INTO THAT
6:49:10PM RESIDENTIAL MIX.
6:49:10PM THE CONCEPT OF HAVING DIVERSE HOUSING OPTIONS IS DISCUSSED
6:49:15PM IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S ANALYSIS OF OUR SITE AND THEN
6:49:19PM ANALYSIS DID YIELD COMPLIANCE TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S
6:49:30PM ANALYSIS.
6:49:30PM I'M TALKING -- WHEN I'M TALKING ABOUT NOT BURDENING THE
6:49:36PM INFRASTRUCTURE, THINK OF THE MAIN PAIN POINTS WITHIN THE
6:49:40PM CITY.
6:49:40PM THINK TRAFFIC, CONGESTION, PARKING, STORMWATER.
6:49:48PM IN TERMS OF TRAFFIC, A 3500-SQUARE-FOOT RESTAURANT, WHICH IS
6:49:54PM A TYPICAL SIZE FOR A CHAIN RESTAURANT, AN OUTBACK, SOMETHING
6:49:58PM LIKE THAT, 3500-SQUARE-FOOT RESTAURANT GENERATES ABOUT 315
6:50:02PM DAILY TRIPS.
6:50:04PM I'M QUOTING FROM THE ITE TRAFFIC GENERATION METHODOLOGY.
6:50:07PM 23 TOWNHOMES GENERATES ABOUT 134 DAILY TRIPS.
6:50:14PM IF YOU LOOK AT A PEAK HOUR COMPARISON, A RESTAURANT OF THAT
6:50:19PM SIZE, 3 A.M. PEAK TRIPS KIND OF FIGURES.
6:50:23PM OURS WOULD GENERATE 10.
6:50:24PM LITTLE MORE IN THE MORNING.
6:50:25PM BUT IN THE EVENING, 3500-SQUARE-FOOT RESTAURANT GENERATES 26
6:50:30PM PEAK P.M. TRIPS.
6:50:31PM HOURS GENERATES 12.
6:50:32PM MY POINT THERE IS TRAFFIC IS ABOUT A WASH.
6:50:37PM IT COULD BE ARGUED THAT MAYBE WE'RE LESSENING TRAFFIC WITH
6:50:40PM THIS PROPOSAL, BUT IT'S ABOUT A WASH.
6:50:42PM PARKING.
6:50:44PM WE MEET THE CITY CRITERIA FOR PARKING.
6:50:46PM TWO-CAR GARAGES.
6:50:47PM WE MEET THE REQUISITE AMOUNT OF GUEST SPACES.
6:50:50PM AND THEN STORMWATER, DRAINAGE ISSUES.
6:50:53PM THIS SITE, THE APARTMENTS AND THIS SITE WAS MASTER PLANNED
6:50:58PM FOR DEVELOPMENT.
6:50:58PM WE'RE GOING TO TAP INTO THEIR STORMWATER VAULT SYSTEM.
6:51:03PM THERE'S CURRENTLY AN INLET, A PIPE, AND A STUB OUT TO THIS
6:51:08PM SITE SO THERE WILL BE NO OFF-SITE DRAINAGE COMING OFF OUR
6:51:11PM SITE INTO ANY OUTFALL, EXCEPT WHERE IT'S CURRENTLY PLANNED.
6:51:14PM SO MY POINT HERE IS THAT WE'RE PUTTING 23 TOWNHOMES IN PLACE
6:51:20PM OF A RESTAURANT.
6:51:20PM THE TRAFFIC CONSIDERATION IS A WASH.
6:51:22PM THERE WILL BE NO OFF-SITE DRAINAGE CONSIDERATIONS AND WE
6:51:25PM MEET PARKING.
6:51:25PM SO THREE OF THE MAIN PAIN POINTS OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY
6:51:29PM OF TAMPA ARE BEING ADDRESSED.
6:51:30PM WE ARE ASKING FOR SEVERAL WAIVERS, CLEARLY.
6:51:37PM CLEARLY.
6:51:39PM JUST A BASE DISCUSSION ON THAT.
6:51:40PM OUR REQUEST IS BASED ON THE ASSERTION OUR PROJECT IS IN
6:51:44PM HARMONY WITH THE OVERALL CHARACTER OF THIS AREA.
6:51:47PM YOU TALK ABOUT TREE REMOVAL AND GREENSPACE.
6:51:51PM AGAIN, LOOKING AT THE PERIMETER OF THE SITE, THE TREES ARE
6:51:54PM MORE OR LESS ALONG THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
6:51:56PM SO WE WILL BE REMOVING THOSE TREES, SEVERAL OF WHICH ARE
6:52:01PM CABBAGE PALMS.
6:52:02PM PRETTY NICE PINES.
6:52:04PM UNFORTUNATELY, WE'D HAVE TO REMOVE THOSE.
6:52:06PM STAFF HAS INDICATED THAT OUR MITIGATION WOULD BE 13,
6:52:12PM TWO-INCH TREES.
6:52:13PM WE MAY BE ABLE TO PLACE MANY OF THOSE TREES ALONG THE
6:52:17PM EASTERN, ALONG THIS EASTERN BOUNDARY.
6:52:21PM NOT ON OUR SITE BUT THE PRIVATE RIGHT-OF-WAY OF THE
6:52:23PM APARTMENTS, WE MAY BE ABLE TO MITIGATE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
6:52:29PM ON-SITE.
6:52:29PM WE'RE PERFECTLY WILLING TO DO THAT.
6:52:31PM ANOTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT GREENSPACE, WE MET THE 350 PER
6:52:35PM SQUARE FOOT GREENSPACE CRITERIA.
6:52:37PM WE'RE COMING UP ABOUT 375 FEET, SQUARE FEET SHORT ON OUR
6:52:42PM VEHICULAR USE GREENSPACE.
6:52:44PM LOOKING AT THE CHARACTER OF THE AREA, YOU LOOK AT THE
6:52:48PM APARTMENTS TO THE NORTH, LOOK TO THE HOUSING ON THE EAST,
6:52:53PM YOU KNOW, US BEING 375 FEET SHORT ON AN ACRE SITE WE DON'T
6:53:04PM FEEL HAS A REAL DRAMATIC IMPACT UPON THE CHARACTER OF THE
6:53:07PM AREA.
6:53:07PM ANOTHER ITEM.
6:53:11PM WE TALK ABOUT THE WAIVERS FOR THE DRIVE AISLE AND SOME OF
6:53:13PM THE OTHER CONSIDERATIONS.
6:53:14PM I'M GOING TO SWITCH OVER TO THE -- OUR ACTUAL SITE PLAN.
6:53:19PM SO THE DRIVE AISLE WIDTH.
6:53:26PM THE DRIVE AISLE WIDTH IS 20 FEET THROUGHOUT THE SITE.
6:53:29PM HOWEVER, BETWEEN THE GARAGE DOOR AND THE DRIVE AISLE,
6:53:33PM THERE'S A THREE-FOOT APRON.
6:53:35PM SO SOMEONE WHO'S PULLING IN OR BACKING OUT HAS 23 FEET OF
6:53:41PM SPACE.
6:53:41PM AND IF YOU ACTUALLY MEASURED IT GARAGE DOOR TO GARAGE DOOR,
6:53:45PM THERE'S 26 FEET.
6:53:47PM I'D ALSO POINT OUT THE 20 FEET, TWO TEN-FOOT LANES IS A VERY
6:53:52PM COMMON ROADWAY WIDTH FOR LOCAL ROADS.
6:53:56PM WHILE NOT IN THE CITY, BUT I DO A LOT OF WORK IN THE
6:53:59PM COUNTIES FOR SUBDIVISION ROAD, 20 FEET WIDE IS KIND OF THE
6:54:03PM STANDARD.
6:54:04PM SO I THINK WE MEET MANY OF THE STANDARDS FOR DRIVE AISLE
6:54:08PM WIDTH PLUS THE APRON MAKES THIS PALATABLE.
6:54:14PM TRANSPORTATION -- EXCUSE ME.
6:54:15PM I'M SORRY.
6:54:16PM SO TRANSPORTATION OBJECTION IS CORRECT; HOWEVER, WE FEEL WE
6:54:19PM MEET THAT.
6:54:20PM REGARDING BUILDING SEPARATION.
6:54:24PM INDEED, BETWEEN BUILDINGS 2 AND 3 ARE TEN FEET APART.
6:54:29PM BY THE CITY FORMULA, THEY HAVE TO BE A LITTLE OVER 14 FEET.
6:54:33PM BUILDINGS 2 AND 5 AND 2 AND 4 SHOULD BE ABOUT 23.5 FEET
6:54:39PM APART.
6:54:40PM I BELIEVE THEY ARE ABOUT 26 FEET APART.
6:54:44PM WE MISSED THAT BY ABOUT THREE AND A HALF FEET, EXCUSE ME.
6:54:48PM SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS OUR BUILDING SEPARATION DOES NOT MEET
6:54:52PM STANDARD NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, BUT WE DON'T FEEL IT MAKES A
6:54:56PM TREMENDOUS IMPACT UPON THE CHARACTER, YOU KNOW, OF THE AREA.
6:54:59PM SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE DONE UPON KIND OF DISCUSSION WITH
6:55:07PM CITY STAFF, YOU LOOK AT THIS AREA DOWN HERE WHERE THE
6:55:12PM SIDEWALKS, THE ENTRANCES OF THE FRONT DOORS GOES DIRECTLY TO
6:55:16PM THE SIDEWALK.
6:55:17PM KIND OF A ROW HOUSE FEEL.
6:55:20PM WE TOOK OUT THE PERIMETER SIDEWALK ALONG McCOY, SO THOSE
6:55:23PM PARTICULAR UNITS, YOU KIND OF WALK RIGHT OUT AND HAVE A
6:55:26PM LITTLE BIT OF A FRONT YARD AND THEN YOU KIND OF TAKE SOME
6:55:29PM STEPS RIGHT DOWN TO THE SIDEWALK, KIND OF THAT URBAN KIND OF
6:55:33PM ROW HOUSE FEEL ALONG McCOY.
6:55:35PM WE THINK THAT ADDS A LITTLE BIT OF CHARACTER, A LITTLE BIT
6:55:38PM OF DIFFERENCE TO THE AREA.
6:55:41PM BASICALLY IN CONCLUSION, WE FEEL WE'RE PROVIDING A TOWNHOME
6:55:45PM PROJECT, WHICH COMPLEMENTS THE AREA, PROVIDES ALTERNATIVE
6:55:48PM HOUSING, HAS A UNIQUE DESIGN FEATURE WITH THAT ONE SECTION
6:55:52PM OF ROW HOUSE AND DOES NOT CREATE AN ADVERSE IMPACT TO THE
6:55:57PM AREA INFRASTRUCTURE.
6:55:58PM WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
6:56:02PM >> ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
6:56:03PM COUNCILMAN SUAREZ.
6:56:04PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: MR. MAZUR, I'VE GOT ONE QUESTION IN
6:56:07PM PARTICULAR.
6:56:07PM THE PROJECT ITSELF I'M A LITTLE BIT CONFUSED BASED ON THE
6:56:12PM NOTES AND WHAT HAS BEEN TOLD TO US.
6:56:14PM THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT WAS PART OF A PD, IS THAT CORRECT?
6:56:17PM >> YES, SIR.
6:56:17PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: ALL RIGHT.
6:56:18PM SO IS THIS A NEW OWNER OR STILL THE OWNER OF THE ORIGINAL
6:56:21PM PD?
6:56:22PM >> I BELIEVE IT IS THE SAME UNDERLYING OWNER.
6:56:24PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: OKAY.
6:56:25PM SO THE ORIGINAL PLAN WAS TO HAVE A RESTAURANT OR SOME OTHER
6:56:28PM TYPE OF MIXED USE HERE, CORRECT?
6:56:30PM >> IT WAS A RESTAURANT.
6:56:31PM CALLED OUT SPECIFICALLY AS A RESTAURANT.
6:56:33PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: AND SO THE DECISION TO GO WITH 23 TOWNHOMES,
6:56:40PM WHEN YOU GO FROM ONE TYPE OF USE ON A MASTER PLAN TO
6:56:44PM SOMETHING REALLY COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BASED ON THE FACT THAT
6:56:47PM THE RESTAURANT WAS PROBABLY GOING TO SERVE THE LARGER
6:56:51PM PROJECT, FOR THE MOST PART, AND THE REST OF THE SURROUNDING
6:56:54PM NEIGHBORHOOD AND ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS PARTICULAR
6:56:56PM NEIGHBORHOOD IS GETTING A LOT MORE PEOPLE MOVING IN, WHY THE
6:57:02PM CHANGE NOW INTO TOWNHOMES AS OPPOSED TO WHAT WAS THERE
6:57:06PM PREVIOUSLY?
6:57:07PM >> THE ANSWER TO THAT AND THE ANSWER TO THAT IS
6:57:11PM MARKETABILITY.
6:57:15PM IT IS A STAND-ALONE BY ITSELF RESTAURANT, MORE OR LESS,
6:57:18PM 3500-SQUARE-FOOT OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE.
6:57:20PM BY ITSELF HAS NO MARKET RIGHT NOW.
6:57:23PM THAT WAS TOLD TO ME BY THE SELLER.
6:57:27PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: WHEN YOU-ALL WERE DOING THIS PLAN WAS THERE
6:57:30PM ANY THOUGHT INTO REDUCING THE NUMBER OF TOWNHOME UNITS TO
6:57:34PM ALLOW FOR SOME OF THE GREENSPACE AND SOME OF THE OTHER
6:57:37PM MITIGATIONS YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE ANYWAY BECAUSE OF THE
6:57:39PM GREENSPACES, THE TREES.
6:57:42PM I MEAN, FRANKLY, BASED ON THE AERIAL OF THE PREVIOUS PD AND
6:57:47PM WHAT HAD BUILT OUT, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF GREENSPACE SAT ALL
6:57:50PM IN THAT ENTIRE PROJECT.
6:57:52PM HAS THERE BEEN ANY THOUGHT IN TERMS OF DEVELOPING PART OF
6:57:56PM THIS, INSTEAD OF 23, MAYBE 11 TOWNHOMES AND BUILDING A SMALL
6:58:00PM DOG PARK OR SOME OTHER THING, OR MAYBE USING THAT SPACE TO
6:58:03PM HAVE SOME OTHER KIND OF MULTIUSE?
6:58:05PM I'M CURIOUS BECAUSE NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT PAVING IN AND
6:58:08PM PUTTING IN WALL-TO-WALL TOWNHOMES ON THAT PARCEL OF LAND.
6:58:13PM BASED ON THE NUMBER OF WAIVERS YOU HAVE, BECAUSE YOU HAVE A
6:58:17PM LOT OF WAIVERS.
6:58:18PM WHEN I SEE THAT NUMBER OF WAIVERS, I'M ALWAYS WONDERING WHAT
6:58:21PM IS THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND DEVELOPING IT?
6:58:25PM >> YES, SIR, WITH THE UNDERLYING EUCLIDEAN ZONING BEING 24
6:58:28PM UNITS TO THE ACRE, WHICH THE APARTMENTS WERE DESIGNED TO,
6:58:31PM THE IDEA WAS WE GET AN ACRE, WE CAN MAKE IT WORK WITH 23
6:58:35PM TOWNHOMES.
6:58:36PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: RIGHT.
6:58:37PM IT'S TO MAXIMIZE THE USE.
6:58:39PM >> I CAN'T MISLEAD YOU.
6:58:40PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: OH, NO --
6:58:42PM >> THAT IS THE CASE, SIR.
6:58:43PM I THINK, THOUGH, WITH THE THOUGHT -- THE THOUGHT PROCESS WAS
6:58:48PM THAT CONSIDERING, AGAIN, THE APARTMENTS, THEY HAD TEN ACRES,
6:58:52PM RIGHT.
6:58:52PM THERE'S VERY LITTLE GREENSPACE.
6:58:54PM I DON'T KNOW IF THEY MET THE REQUIREMENT OR NOT.
6:58:57PM I SUSPECT THEY PROBABLY DID.
6:58:58PM AND SO HERE WE ARE WITH ONE ACRE.
6:59:05PM SHOULD WE ACCOUNT FOR THE GREENSPACE OF THE GREATER TEN AND
6:59:08PM A HALF ACRES, SO WE DID MEET THE GREENSPACE REQUIREMENT FOR
6:59:13PM THE GENERAL GREENSPACE, THE VEHICULAR USE REQUIREMENT WE'RE
6:59:16PM A LITTLE SHY ON.
6:59:17PM BUT IT'S JUST, SURE, MY CLIENT IS TRYING TO DO THE BEST HE
6:59:23PM CAN.
6:59:23PM AGAIN, WE FEEL WE'RE IN KEEPING WITH THE GREENSPACE AND THE
6:59:28PM CHARACTER OF THE AREA.
6:59:29PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: THANK YOU.
6:59:30PM THANK YOU, CHAIR.
6:59:31PM >>FRANK REDDICK: MR. MIRANDA.
6:59:32PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
6:59:33PM ALONG THE SAME LINES, YOU HAVE RECEIVED ALMOST A FOUR-STAR
6:59:37PM GENERAL, THREE, THREE DEPARTMENTS SAID YOU WERE
6:59:40PM INCONSISTENT.
6:59:41PM YOU'RE ASKING FOR SEVEN WAIVERS, AND I UNDERSTAND THE
6:59:44PM SHORTAGES.
6:59:45PM 350 SQUARE FOOT OF AN ACRE.
6:59:47PM THEN SAY I'M FOUR FEET SHORT OF 24-FOOT DRIVE AISLE, 26,
6:59:55PM 27-FOOT AT THE WIDEST, NOT BETWEEN THE COLUMNS.
6:59:58PM SO I'M TRYING TO GUESS.
7:00:00PM AND THEN YOU SAID, WELL, YOU'VE GOT THE SIDEWALK AND
7:00:06PM ENTRYWAY.
7:00:07PM DOES THE CODE REQUIRE THAT TO BE COUNTED OR JUST THE STREET
7:00:10PM ITSELF?
7:00:13PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: DOES THE CODE -- MARY SAMANIEGO.
7:00:15PM DOES THE CODE REQUIRE WHAT TO BE COUNTED?
7:00:18PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THE 24-FOOT --
7:00:20PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: IT HAS TO BE DRIVABLE AREA.
7:00:22PM IT HAS TO BE DRIVEWAY.
7:00:25PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NOT SIDEWALK AND NOT --
7:00:27PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: NO.
7:00:29PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I WANTED THAT TO BE EXPLICIT.
7:00:35PM I'M NOT AGAINST PROJECTS.
7:00:37PM 100% TREE REMOVAL, AM I CORRECT?
7:00:41PM PLEASE, YOU CAN INTERRUPT ME AT ANY TIME BECAUSE I'M NOT
7:00:45PM PERFECT WHEN I SAY THESE THINGS.
7:00:46PM SOMETIMES I ERROR.
7:00:47PM IT'S JUST TO ME, AS MR. SUAREZ WAS SAYING, I UNDERSTAND THE
7:00:52PM DEVELOPMENT.
7:00:53PM I UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE.
7:00:56PM FOR A LONG TIME, IT HAD BEEN FORGOTTEN.
7:01:07PM THE 24 TO AN ACRE, IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE ACRE LOOKS LIKE,
7:01:13PM DEPENDS WHERE THE ACRE IS AT.
7:01:16PM YOU'RE ONE UNIT SHORT OF THE 24 TO THE ACRE CODE.
7:01:24PM I'M LOOKING AT IT AND SAY TO MYSELF, BEAUTIFUL AREA,
7:01:28PM BEAUTIFUL LOCATION, BEAUTIFUL DEVELOPMENT, PLEASE, DON'T
7:01:32PM COUNT THAT AGAINST HIM, AND TO ME JUST TRYING TO PUT A
7:01:39PM GALLON OF MILK INTO HALF A GALLON JUG, IT QUITE -- IT LOOKS
7:01:44PM GREAT BUT IT QUITE DOESN'T FIT INSIDE THAT.
7:01:47PM THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.
7:01:48PM THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
7:01:51PM >> IN REGARDS TO SPEAKING OF SIDEWALK AND THE DRIVE AISLE
7:01:55PM WIDTH, THERE'S NO WAY WE'RE HAVING CARS DRIVING OVER
7:01:58PM SIDEWALKS.
7:01:58PM NO WAY.
7:02:00PM THE POINT WAS YOU HAVE A GARAGE, LIKE A GARAGE DOOR AND THEN
7:02:04PM A THREE-FOOT APRON AND THEN THE DRIVE AISLE AND THEN ANOTHER
7:02:09PM THREE-FOOT APRON.
7:02:12PM AND SO IT'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
7:02:13PM THE DRIVE AISLE IS 20 FEET.
7:02:15PM THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
7:02:17PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I GOT THOSE NUMBERS.
7:02:18PM YOU DON'T TURN AROUND IN YOUR APRON.
7:02:20PM YOU TURN AROUND IN THE STREET.
7:02:22PM >> CORRECT, CORRECT.
7:02:22PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THAT'S WHY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE 24 FEET.
7:02:25PM I'M NOT SAYING WE HAVEN'T MADE EXCEPTIONS EVER.
7:02:27PM I'M SAYING IN THIS CASE YOU'RE JUST ASKING FOR A LOT.
7:02:30PM THANK YOU AGAIN.
7:02:31PM I'M SORRY.
7:02:31PM >>FRANK REDDICK: MR. COHEN.
7:02:32PM >>HARRY COHEN: YEAH, I DON'T WANT TO BEAT A DEAD HORSE, BUT
7:02:36PM I HAVE A COUPLE OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS.
7:02:38PM FIRST OF ALL, WHEN THIS PD WAS ORIGINALLY DONE, IT WAS DONE
7:02:43PM AS PART OF A LARGER PROJECT.
7:02:45PM AND WE ALL BALANCE EVERYTHING WHEN WE DO IT.
7:02:48PM TO COME BACK LATER AND CARVE OUT A PIECE FOR A CHANGE
7:02:52PM AFFECTS THE DECISION-MAKING OVER THE WHOLE.
7:02:55PM RIGHT AWAY, THAT ELEVATES THIS I THINK TO A HIGHER STANDARD
7:02:59PM OF SCRUTINY WHEN WE DECIDE HOW TO GO FORWARD.
7:03:03PM YOU MADE THE COMMENT THAT THE REASON YOU'RE HERE FOR 23
7:03:09PM UNITS IS BECAUSE YOU CAN MAKE IT WORK.
7:03:11PM THAT IS THE MOST YOU CAN MAKE WORK.
7:03:13PM WHAT I ARGUE IS YOU CAN'T MAKE IT WORK BECAUSE YOU'RE ASKING
7:03:15PM FOR SEVEN WAIVERS.
7:03:17PM YOU'RE BUSTING THROUGH ALL THE SETBACKS.
7:03:18PM YOU'RE PUTTING THE BUILDINGS CLOSER TOGETHER THAN THEY ARE
7:03:21PM SUPPOSED TO BE AND YOU'RE REMOVING 100% OF THE TREES.
7:03:24PM AND SO ONE OF THE THEMES I SEE HERE FROM THE STAFF IS THEY
7:03:30PM THINK SOME OF THESE THINGS COULD BE MITIGATED IF THE SITE
7:03:33PM WERE DESIGNED DIFFERENTLY.
7:03:34PM THEN I THINK THE FINAL THING IS, YOU KNOW, THE COMMENT ABOUT
7:03:39PM THE LACK OF DEMAND FOR THE RESTAURANT I THINK IS SUBJECTIVE
7:03:46PM AT BEST.
7:03:48PM WE HAVE SEEN SOME RESTAURANTS OPEN IN THIS AREA THAT ARE
7:03:51PM DOING PHENOMENALLY WELL.
7:03:53PM THERE'S A TON OF NEW PEOPLE THAT HAVE MOVED IN, AND WE'VE
7:03:56PM SEEN A LOT OF INCREASE.
7:03:58PM SO I'M NOT SURE THAT THE INTENT OF THE ORIGINAL PD REALLY
7:04:06PM HAS BEEN FRUSTRATED BY MARKET CONDITIONS NOT COOPERATING.
7:04:11PM I THINK THAT THAT'S A SPECULATION, NOT FACT.
7:04:15PM THAT'S ALL.
7:04:19PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
7:04:19PM HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU HAVE LEFT?
7:04:25PM YOU HAVE 2:28.
7:04:33PM >> FOR COUNCILMAN COHEN'S COMMENT, I CAN JUST TELL YOU WHAT
7:04:38PM THE GENTLEMAN I SPOKE TO TOLD ME.
7:04:42PM ABSOLUTELY.
7:04:42PM CAN'T CONFIRM OR DENY THAT.
7:04:47PM I KNOW THIS CLIENT CREATES AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT.
7:04:49PM YOU'VE SEEN IT COME BEFORE YOU BEFORE.
7:04:52PM IT'S ALL OVER TAMPA.
7:04:53PM THEY LIKE THIS SITE.
7:04:56PM AGAIN, THE OPTION OF HAVING TOWNHOMES, APARTMENTS,
7:04:59PM SINGLE-FAMILY, I THINK IS ATTRACTIVE TO THIS AREA.
7:05:02PM INDEED, WE ARE ASKING FOR SOME WAIVERS.
7:05:04PM BUT, AGAIN, I DON'T THINK THEY DETRACT FROM THE CHARACTER OF
7:05:08PM THIS PROJECT.
7:05:11PM WE WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION ON THOSE.
7:05:14PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
7:05:16PM ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 11?
7:05:19PM PLEASE COME FORWARD.
7:05:27PM >> HELLO.
7:05:30PM I'M TOM VENTO, 4701 INGRAM STREET, TAMPA, ALSO THE PRESIDENT
7:05:37PM OF THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
7:05:38PM I'M NOT VERY PREPARED TONIGHT.
7:05:40PM I'VE BEEN PRETTY ILL LATELY.
7:05:43PM COMING BACK, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS IS THE GENTLEMAN SAID
7:05:48PM THERE'S NO SHOPPING OR RETAIL OR RESTAURANTS IN THE AREA.
7:05:52PM THAT'S EXACTLY WHY THAT PD WAS MADE BACK IN THE DAY IN 2007.
7:06:01PM OF COURSE, THE MARKET CONDITIONS AFTER 2007, THAT WAS WHEN
7:06:08PM THE BUBBLE BURST, 2008.
7:06:10PM SO WE ARE PROBABLY GETTING BACK TO THE POINT NOW AFTER ALL
7:06:16PM THIS TIME WHERE THE MARKET CONDITIONS ARE GETTING MORE IN
7:06:23PM LINE WITH WHAT THEY WANTED IT OR WHAT WAS GOING TO BE PUT
7:06:27PM THERE AS A RESTAURANT.
7:06:28PM THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE OWNER WHO IS THE SAME PETITIONER
7:06:34PM NOW, THE SAME PERSON, WE WENT BACK AND FORTH.
7:06:38PM WORKED TOGETHER FOR PROBABLY, I DON'T KNOW, YEAR, YEAR AND A
7:06:42PM HALF.
7:06:45PM AND THEY MADE SOME CHANGES.
7:06:46PM AND THIS WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD REALLY
7:06:51PM WANTED BECAUSE WE KNEW THAT THERE WOULD COME A TIME LIKE
7:06:53PM THERE IS RIGHT NOW WHERE EVERYTHING NORTH OF US IS
7:06:57PM DEVELOPED.
7:06:57PM YOU RECAPTURE A LOT OF THE TRAFFIC BY NOT HAVING PEOPLE
7:07:02PM HAVING TO DRIVE TO GANDY TO GO TO USE A RESTAURANT OR RETAIL
7:07:09PM OR WHATEVER.
7:07:09PM BUT MAINLY IT WAS RESTAURANT IS WHAT IT WAS FOR.
7:07:12PM IN FACT, THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT IT WAS GOING TO BE A
7:07:14PM SIT-DOWN RESTAURANT.
7:07:17PM I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THAT'S WRITTEN IN THE PLAN OR NOT, IF
7:07:20PM THAT EVER GOT THROUGH THERE.
7:07:21PM IN 2011, THEY ACTUALLY CROWDED THE APARTMENTS TOWARDS THE
7:07:24PM ROAD.
7:07:26PM I WASN'T INVOLVED AT THE TIME.
7:07:28PM CLOSER TO THE ROAD SETBACKS.
7:07:29PM SOME MORE I GUESS WAIVERS.
7:07:34PM YOU WOULD SAY.
7:07:36PM SO THAT'S THE HISTORY OF IT.
7:07:38PM THE HISTORY WAS WE WORKED WITH THE OWNER TO TRY TO GET SOME
7:07:44PM LAND THAT WAS GOING TO BE -- THAT SOMEBODY WAS GOING TO
7:07:48PM EVENTUALLY DEVELOP AS A RESTAURANT TO SERVE THE
7:07:53PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:07:54PM IN OUR PART OF THAT CORNER OF THE CITY, WE HAVE TO DRIVE
7:07:58PM NORTH THROUGH DENSE, MORE DENSE AND MORE DENSE AREAS TO GET
7:08:05PM A BITE TO EAT OR TO GO SHOPPING.
7:08:08PM IT WAS KIND OF A LOT OF FORESIGHT, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS IN
7:08:15PM GOOD INTENTIONS.
7:08:18PM KIND OF FEELS LIKE WE WERE LIED TO.
7:08:23PM I HOPE YOU WOULD DENY THE CHANGE.
7:08:26PM THANK YOU.
7:08:32PM >> GOOD EVENING.
7:08:33PM KELLY WITH PORT TAMPA.
7:08:36PM TO ECHO WHAT TOM SAID, THERE IS NO RETAIL RESTAURANT THERE
7:08:40PM RIGHT NOW, BUT DEFINITELY A NEED FOR ONE.
7:08:42PM AND THIS WAS DECIDED BACK THEN AND AS COUNCILMAN COHEN SAID,
7:08:46PM SINCE THERE, THERE HAS BEEN MORE DEVELOPMENT AND IT
7:08:49PM CONTINUES TO GROW.
7:08:50PM WE DO HAVE TOWNHOMES AND ADDITIONAL TOWNHOMES WERE RECENTLY
7:08:53PM BUILT WITH THE MARINA DISTRICT, WHICH IS GETTING COMPLETED.
7:08:56PM THERE ARE ALSO APARTMENT BUILDINGS ACROSS THE STREET FROM
7:08:58PM THE MARINA DISTRICT THAT ARE GETTING COMPLETED.
7:09:01PM THERE IS LAND JUST SOUTHWEST OF THE VACANT LOT AND IT'S
7:09:04PM ZONED AND APPROVED FOR 444 MORE APARTMENT BUILDINGS.
7:09:07PM AND LENNAR IS BUILDING SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES JUST SOUTH OF
7:09:10PM THIS, 172 OF THEM.
7:09:11PM WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW AND ADD MORE PEOPLE THAT
7:09:14PM COULD SERVICE THIS RESTAURANT IF IT STAYS ZONED THAT WAY.
7:09:19PM SO I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOU TO CONSIDER KEEPING IT ZONED
7:09:26PM AS IT WAS DECIDED BACK WHEN IT WAS MADE THIS WAY.
7:09:27PM THANK YOU SO MUCH.
7:09:28PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
7:09:29PM ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 11?
7:09:32PM PETITIONER?
7:09:36PM YOU HAVE REBUTTAL TIME.
7:09:38PM >> THANK YOU.
7:09:39PM HAVING HEARD PUBLIC INPUT AND THE COUNCIL, I WOULD ASK
7:09:44PM COUNCIL TO CONSIDER A MOTION TO CONTINUE THIS AND WORKING
7:09:49PM THROUGH SOME OF THE COMMENTS NOT ONLY THAT WE'VE HEARD BUT
7:09:51PM THROUGH STAFF ANALYSIS, MOVE FOR CONTINUANCE TO HELP US GET
7:09:56PM THIS SITE MORE IN COMPLIANCE AND REDUCE THE WAIVERS.
7:09:59PM >>FRANK REDDICK: MR. SUAREZ.
7:10:01PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: MR. MAZUR, IF BASED ON SOME OF THE COMMENTS
7:10:05PM THAT MYSELF AND MY COLLEAGUES HAVE MADE AND WHAT THE
7:10:14PM NEIGHBORHOOD HAS SAID, I WOULD SUGGEST MEETING WITH THEM TO
7:10:16PM TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE ISSUES AND HOW THIS CAN BECOME A MORE
7:10:22PM SUCCESSFUL PROJECT FOR YOU.
7:10:23PM I WILL MAKE THAT MOTION TO CONTINUE, IF YOU'RE DONE, SIR.
7:10:27PM >> I AM.
7:10:28PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WHAT PERIOD OF TIME?
7:10:30PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: YEAH, I WAS GOING TO SAY.
7:10:32PM MS. SAMANIEGO I THINK HAS SOMETHING TO SAY.
7:10:34PM I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS.
7:10:35PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: I WANTED TO SPEAK ABOUT THE CONTINUANCE.
7:10:38PM I'M RECOMMENDING THAT WE CONTINUE IT TO FEBRUARY 28th,
7:10:41PM WHICH IS AN ALCOHOL NIGHT.
7:10:43PM THAT WOULD GIVE STAFF -- THAT WOULD GIVE THE APPLICANT
7:10:46PM ENOUGH TIME TO FULLY RECONSIDER A SITE PLAN, GET IT
7:10:49PM TOGETHER, GIVE IT TO STAFF AND GIVE STAFF ADEQUATE TIME AND
7:10:53PM REQUIRED TIME TO DO A THOROUGH REVIEW OF IT.
7:10:56PM I FEEL FEBRUARY 14 WOULD NOT BE ENOUGH TIME.
7:10:59PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: PROVIDING THE PETITIONER AGREES TO THAT,
7:11:01PM I HAVE NO PROBLEM.
7:11:02PM IT'S UP TO THE --
7:11:08PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: EITHER THAT OR FURTHER DOWN.
7:11:10PM THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST AVAILABLE SLOT.
7:11:12PM >> SURE.
7:11:14PM MARY, WHAT WOULD BE ONE INCREMENT OUT FROM THE 28th?
7:11:22PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: NEXT AVAILABLE HEARING AFTER THAT WOULD BE
7:11:24PM FEBRUARY 14th.
7:11:27PM >> NO, MARCH 14th.
7:11:29PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARCH 14th.
7:11:31PM >> LET'S GO FOR THAT.
7:11:33PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I MAKE A MOTION TO HAVE A CONTINUANCE UNTIL
7:11:36PM MARCH 14th AT 6 P.M.
7:11:41PM >>HARRY COHEN: I'M NOT GOING TO SUPPORT IT.
7:11:42PM I THINK THAT ACTUALLY WE SHOULD VOTE THIS DOWN.
7:11:45PM BUT WHATEVER THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL IS.
7:11:47PM >>FRANK REDDICK: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM MR. SUAREZ.
7:11:49PM SECONDED BY MR. MANISCALCO.
7:11:52PM THAT IS TO CONTINUE THIS TO MARCH THE 14th AT 6:00 P.M.
7:11:59PM ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION SAY AYE.
7:12:01PM OPPOSED?
7:12:03PM >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED WITH CAPIN BEING ABSENT AT VOTE
7:12:06PM AND COHEN VOTING NO.
7:12:08PM >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.

7:14:53PM WE'RE IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS NOW IN THE SPECIAL SEMINOLE
7:14:56PM HEIGHTS ZONING DISTRICT.
7:14:57PM THIS SPECIFIC SITE, WHICH IS IN GREEN, IS IN THE SEMINOLE
7:15:02PM HEIGHTS RESIDENTIAL, WHICH IS A SINGLE-FAMILY ZONING
7:15:05PM DISTRICT FOR SEMINOLE HEIGHTS.
7:15:07PM THE EXISTING BUILDING ON-SITE WAS -- I'LL SHOW YOU THE SITE.
7:15:17PM HERE'S THE EXISTING BUILDING ON-SITE.
7:15:18PM IT WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 1924.
7:15:21PM AND THE LAST USE OF THE PROPERTY WAS AN APPLIANCE REPAIR
7:15:25PM SHOP.
7:15:25PM THE APPLICANTS ARE EXECUTING THE ADAPTIVE REUSE POLICY TO
7:15:32PM RETAIN THE EXISTING STRUCTURE BUT TO USE IT FOR RESIDENTIAL
7:15:37PM PURPOSES.
7:15:37PM THEY ARE ASKING FOR EIGHT TOTAL, I BELIEVE EIGHT TOTAL
7:15:41PM DWELLING UNITS FOR MULTIFAMILY.
7:15:45PM THIS IS THE SIDE LOT OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WHERE THE
7:15:49PM PARKING LOT WILL GO IN.
7:15:50PM I'LL SHOW YOU IN A SECOND.
7:15:51PM SURROUNDING THE PROPERTY IS SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSES.

7:16:00PM FURTHER TO THE EAST ACROSS THE STREET, THESE ARE ALL ACROSS
7:16:08PM THE STREET, SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSES.
7:16:13PM AND THEN DIRECTLY TO THE WEST.
7:16:15PM THIS PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY THREE LOTS -- I'M SORRY, FOUR
7:16:20PM LOTS DOWN FROM NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE.
7:16:23PM SO BECAUSE THEY ARE ASKING FOR A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, THERE
7:16:30PM IS A SITE PLAN SPECIFICALLY THAT IS GOING TO BE -- THAT
7:16:32PM WOULD BE APPROVED.
7:16:35PM IT'S ASSOCIATED WAIVERS.
7:16:36PM AGAIN, THE EXISTING STRUCTURE WILL REMAIN AS IS AND THE --
7:16:41PM AND IT WILL BE CONVERTED FROM THE OLD APPLIANCE STORE TO A

7:16:48PM BUILDING.
7:16:49PM THEY ARE PROVIDING PARKING, FIVE PARKING SPACES ALONG THE
7:16:55PM WEST PROPERTY LINE.
7:16:56PM PART OF THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS PARKING CODE, YOU'RE ALLOWED TO
7:17:00PM COUNT A NUMBER OF MOTORCYCLE PARKINGS AS AN EQUIVALENT TO
7:17:03PM ONE CAR PARKING SPACE AS WELL AS THERE'S A TRADE-OFF FOR A
7:17:08PM SERIES OF BICYCLE PARKING SPACES THAT CAN ALSO COUNT FOR A
7:17:11PM CAR PARKING SPACE.
7:17:13PM SO FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT, BASED ON THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS CODE
7:17:16PM THERE'S EIGHT PARKING SPACES REQUIRED.
7:17:19PM THEY ARE PROVIDING FIVE AS REGULAR VEHICULAR PARKING, ONE
7:17:23PM FULL SPACE WITH A SERIES OF MOTORCYCLE PARKING, AND THEN
7:17:27PM ALSO BICYCLE PARKING.
7:17:29PM THEY ARE PROVIDING SEVEN FULL PARKING SPACES.
7:17:32PM HOWEVER, THEY ARE ONE SHORT SO THEY NEED A WAIVER TO REDUCE
7:17:35PM THE PARKING FROM EIGHT SPACES TO SEVEN.
7:17:37PM THE NEXT TWO WAIVERS HAVE TO DO WITH SEMINOLE HEIGHTS
7:17:43PM SPECIFIC CODE.
7:17:44PM THE CODE SAYS A BUILD TO LINE OF 40 FEET BASED ON THE
7:17:51PM DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, AVERAGING ON THE LOTS, THE HOUSE TO THE
7:17:55PM EAST IS SET RELATIVELY FAR BACK.
7:17:58PM THIS HOUSE IS SET RELATIVELY CLOSE TO THE WEST.
7:18:01PM YOU HAVE TO TAKE AN AVERAGE OF THOSE TO ESTABLISH THIS
7:18:04PM BUILD-TO LINE.
7:18:05PM HOWEVER, WE ARE DEALING WITH AN EXISTING BUILDING, SO IT
7:18:09PM DOES NOT MEET THE 40-FOOT BUILD-TO LINE; IT IS 20 FEET FROM
7:18:12PM THE PROPERTY LINE.
7:18:13PM THAT IS A WAIVER THAT NEEDS TO BE APPROVED.
7:18:15PM SIMILARLY, THE CODE SAYS THAT PARKING HAS TO BE BEHIND THE
7:18:19PM BUILD-TO LINE IN ORDER TO GET AS MUCH VEHICULAR PARKING
7:18:24PM ON-SITE AS POSSIBLE, THEY ARE ASKING FOR A WAIVER TO HAVE A
7:18:28PM PORTION OF THIS PARKING SPACE FORWARD THE BUILDING LINE.
7:18:31PM AND THEN THE LAST WAIVER THAT THEY ARE REQUESTING WHICH IS
7:18:37PM THE FOURTH, 2721113 E 2, THE WESTERN PROPERTY LINE, BECAUSE
7:18:44PM THIS DEVELOPMENT IS UP AGAINST THE PARKING IS UP AGAINST A
7:18:46PM SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE, IS REQUIRED TO HAVE A SIX-FOOT-HIGH
7:18:51PM FENCE OR WALL WITH HEDGES, AND THEY ARE ASKING -- WITHIN ONE
7:18:58PM FEET.
7:18:58PM THEY ARE ASKING TO JUST BE ABLE TO PUT UP A SIX-FOOT-HIGH
7:19:03PM WALL OR FENCE WITH NO HEDGE BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY ONE FOOT
7:19:07PM DISTANCE IN THERE AND THAT'S NOT ADEQUATE SPACE TO PLANT
7:19:10PM HEDGES FOR BUFFERING.
7:19:11PM SO THOSE ARE ALL WAIVERS.
7:19:13PM THERE ARE FOUR WAIVERS TO THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS STANDARDS.
7:19:18PM HOWEVER, THE URBAN DESIGN STAFF DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT.
7:19:23PM LAND DEVELOPMENT FOUND IT CONSISTENT.
7:19:25PM THERE'S JUST A COUPLE OF MINOR CHANGES TO THE SITE PLAN
7:19:28PM BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
7:19:29PM THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT FOUND IT INCONSISTENT AGAIN
7:19:32PM BECAUSE OF THE PARKING WAIVER FOR THE ONE SPOT.
7:19:36PM AND NATURAL RESOURCES JUST HAD SOME GENERAL COMMENTS OF WHEN
7:19:42PM THEY GO TO PERMITTING.
7:19:43PM OVERALL, DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF DID FIND IT
7:19:46PM INCONSISTENT BECAUSE OF THE PARKING WAIVER FROM EIGHT SPACES
7:19:50PM DOWN TO SEVEN.
7:19:51PM ANY QUESTIONS?
7:19:52PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?
7:19:53PM PETITIONER?
7:20:02PM >> GOOD EVENING.
7:20:04PM SUE MURPHY, P&M CONSULTING GROUP.
7:20:06PM I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE PETITIONERS, FOR THE OWNERS, THE
7:20:11PM COUTURES.
7:20:14PM THEY ARE LONG-TERM RESIDENTS OF SEMINOLE HEIGHTS AND SOME OF
7:20:15PM THE MAJOR PIONEERS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LOT OF THE
7:20:15PM ADAPTIVE REUSE OF A LOT OF BUILDINGS IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS.
7:20:19PM THE PROPERTY THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY, AS SHOWN BY
7:20:23PM STAFF, IS THIS SITE RIGHT HERE.
7:20:30PM THIS IS THE BACK OF THE BUILDING ALONG FLORIDA AVENUE.
7:20:32PM THE BUILDING UNDER THE ADAPTIVE REUSE OF HISTORIC
7:20:37PM STRUCTURES, WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO EXPAND THE BUILDING OR
7:20:39PM CHANGE IT.
7:20:40PM SO THE BUILDING IS WHERE THE BUILDING IS.
7:20:41PM IT'S NOT GOING TO GET ANY SMALLER OR ANY LARGER WHEN IT GETS
7:20:44PM REDONE.
7:20:45PM SO THAT IS REALLY WHAT HAS TRIGGERED A LOT OF THE NEED FOR
7:20:50PM WAIVERS MARY DISCUSSED IS TRYING TO BRING A SITE THAT WAS
7:20:56PM CONSTRUCTED A LONG TIME AGO INTO COMPLIANCE WITH TODAY'S
7:20:59PM REGULATIONS.
7:20:59PM OBVIOUSLY, VERY, VERY DIFFERENT 70 YEARS AGO THAN THEY ARE
7:21:03PM TODAY.
7:21:04PM SO WE'RE DOING THE BEST WE CAN TO BRING THIS INTO
7:21:07PM COMPLIANCE.
7:21:07PM THE BUILDING WAS BUILT FOR AND HISTORICALLY ALWAYS USED AS
7:21:11PM AN INDUSTRIAL BUILDING.
7:21:13PM SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURES OF THE BUILDING HERE --
7:21:16PM AND, BY THE WAY, THERE'S A MAJOR BUS ROUTE HERE IN TERMS OF
7:21:19PM LIKE OTHER OPTIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION HERE.
7:21:21PM IT GOES DOWNTOWN AND UP TO THE UNIVERSITY.
7:21:23PM THIS WAS THE BUILDING WHEN THEY -- THAT'S THE BUILDING WHEN
7:21:37PM THEY PURCHASED IT.
7:21:38PM AND IT HAS ALL KINDS OF INDUSTRIAL AND NONRESIDENTIAL TYPE
7:21:41PM COMMERCIAL VEHICLES ON IT.
7:21:43PM AND NO PARKING SPACES AT ALL.
7:21:46PM THEY HAVE CLEANED THE SITE UP AFTER PURCHASING IT, AND THEY
7:21:52PM HAVE -- WE DON'T KNOW WHOSE CAR THAT IS, BY THE WAY.
7:21:55PM IT WAS JUST ON THE PROPERTY WHEN WE WENT OVER TO TAKE
7:21:58PM PICTURES.
7:21:59PM THEY HAVE TAKEN THE TRASH OFF THE SITE.
7:22:01PM A LOT OF DEBRIS BACK HERE THEY CLEANED OUT AND CLEANED THE
7:22:04PM BUILDING AS A HOLDING FACILITY, HOLDING FOR THE TIME BEING.
7:22:08PM THIS IS POSED, A RENDERING OF WHAT IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE AT
7:22:13PM THE END.
7:22:14PM ONCE AGAIN, WE CAN'T CHANGE THE BUILDING IN TERMS OF ADDING
7:22:16PM ON TO IT.
7:22:17PM WE CAN ONLY RENOVATE IT.
7:22:18PM BUT THIS WOULD BE THE PARKING AND SOME GREENSPACE IN FRONT
7:22:21PM OF IT.
7:22:22PM WE THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT IMPROVEMENT TO THE SITUATION
7:22:25PM THAT'S OUT THERE NOW.
7:22:27PM IT WOULD BE FURTHERING THE PROVISIONS OF THE SEMINOLE
7:22:31PM HEIGHTS VISION PLAN THAT WAS ADOPTED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE
7:22:34PM PLAN.
7:22:35PM IT WOULD BE FURTHERING YOUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE MORE
7:22:38PM AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS, INFILL HOUSING.
7:22:41PM THIS WOULD BE STRUCTURED TO TARGET MORE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS,
7:22:44PM TEACHERS, PEOPLE IN THAT INCOME BRACKET WHO MAYBE CAN'T
7:22:49PM AFFORD TO BUY THEIR OWN HOME YET.
7:22:52PM THERE'S A REAL SHORTAGE OF MODERATELY PRICED AND AFFORDABLE.
7:22:54PM I DON'T MEAN SECTION 8 HOUSING.
7:22:57PM I'M TALKING ABOUT MODERATELY PRICED PRIVATE-SECTOR HOUSING.
7:23:00PM IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THIS.
7:23:02PM THE COUTURES HAVE DONE SEVERAL OF THESE.
7:23:06PM HAND YOU IN A SERIES OF HANDOUTS.
7:23:10PM I'LL GO THROUGH THEM WITH YOU NOW.
7:23:14PM ONE IS THE Facebook STATEMENT OF SUPPORT FROM THE
7:23:20PM ASSOCIATION.
7:23:21PM I'M NOT SURE IF ANYBODY IS HERE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OR
7:23:23PM OPPOSITION.
7:23:23PM BUT THIS WAS POSTED.
7:23:24PM PICTURES OF THE BEFORE AND AFTER, A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF THE
7:23:28PM COUTURES POINTING OUT THE THINGS THEY HAVE DONE IN SEMINOLE
7:23:31PM HEIGHTS.
7:23:32PM THEY ARE LIFELONG RESIDENTS OF TAMPA AND BEEN IN SEMINOLE
7:23:34PM HEIGHTS ALMOST 20 YEARS.
7:23:35PM AND ALSO I PROVIDED YOU A -- PROVIDED YOU SOME PICTURES OF
7:23:40PM THE OTHER APARTMENTS THEY HAVE REHABBED IN THE AREA THAT ARE
7:23:44PM ALL THAT SAME SIZE AND SCALE.
7:23:46PM WE DO CONCUR WITH THE STAFF REPORT AND HAVE NO CHANGES -- NO
7:23:57PM REQUESTED CHANGES TO ANYTHING IN THAT.
7:24:00PM I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND I ASK THAT I HOLD
7:24:03PM ANY REMAINING TIME FOR REBUTTAL IF I NEED IT.
7:24:06PM THESE ARE ALSO EIGHT ONE-BEDROOM APARTMENTS.
7:24:10PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
7:24:11PM ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 11?
7:24:23PM >> HELLO.
7:24:24PM MY NAME IS NATALIA GAGO, OWNER AT 109 WEST GENESEE.
7:24:29PM I AM OPPOSING THE REZONING REQUEST.
7:24:31PM MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE SAFETY ISSUE THAT THIS PROPOSED
7:24:35PM DEVELOPMENT POSES.
7:24:36PM THERE ARE REQUIRED EIGHT SPACES.
7:24:39PM THEY WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FOUR PLUS A HANDICAP
7:24:42PM SPACE, MEANING THAT FOUR TO 16 CARS WILL HAVE TO OCCUPANCY
7:24:46PM THE STREET AT -- OCCUPY THE STREET AT ANY GIVEN TIME.
7:24:49PM INCREASING CARS CAUSES TWO MAJOR ISSUES.
7:24:52PM MORE TRAFFIC ON WHAT IS NOW A QUIET STREET, ACCIDENT AND
7:24:56PM INJURY TO CHILDREN.
7:24:56PM WE HAVE THREE OF OUR OWN, WHO MAY BE HIDING OR CROSSING THE
7:25:00PM STREET.
7:25:01PM ADDITIONALLY, THIS STREET HAS NO SIDEWALKS.
7:25:04PM SO I'M NOT SURE IF YOU GUYS NOTICED THAT IN THE RENDERING.
7:25:07PM SO THIS IS THE PROPOSED LOT.
7:25:11PM THIS IS OUR HOME.
7:25:12PM AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS BLOCK HAS ABSOLUTELY NO SIDEWALKS FOR
7:25:17PM CHILDREN.
7:25:17PM LASTLY, THIS IS A NONCONFORMING USE BECAUSE THE LOT SIZE IS
7:25:25PM TOO SMALL FOR EIGHT UNITS EFFECTIVELY PUTTING THE
7:25:28PM RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HOMEOWNERS THAT LIVE ON THAT BLOCK FOR
7:25:31PM DEALING WITH THE CAR SITUATION THAT WILL BECOME A PROBLEM
7:25:37PM WHEN WE HAVE EIGHT RESIDENTS, POSSIBLY 16 RESIDENTS ALL WITH
7:25:44PM CARS.
7:25:44PM I RESPECTFULLY THAT THE ZONING BE DENIED.
7:25:54PM >> GOOD EVENING.
7:25:55PM MY NAME IS DUKE MANSELL, 109 WEST GENESEE.
7:26:00PM AS YOU MENTIONED PER THE CITY CODE, 111 WEST GENESEE IT IS
7:26:05PM INCONSISTENT WITH THE CITY CODE FOR PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
7:26:06PM SMALL QUIET STREET OF FAMILIES.
7:26:08PM THE NEW BUILDING IS TO BE AN EIGHT-TENANT UNIT.
7:26:10PM ALREADY NOT ENOUGH SPACES FOR THE TENANTS THAT WILL BE
7:26:12PM LIVING THERE, WHICH MEANS THEY WILL BE PARKING ON THE STREET
7:26:14PM AND ON OUR NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY.
7:26:16PM ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A WAIVER REQUEST TO REDUCE THE NUMBER
7:26:18PM OF SPACES TO FIVE, AS YOU HEARD ALREADY, WAY TOO LIMITED FOR
7:26:21PM THE NUMBER OF TENANTS THAT WOULD BE LIVING HERE AND ASSUME
7:26:23PM THAT AT LEAST HALF OF THE TENANTS WOULD JUST DECIDE TO RIDE
7:26:26PM BIKES AND MOTORCYCLES EVERYWHERE THEY TRAVEL.
7:26:28PM ADDITIONALLY, IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT EVERY UNIT WILL
7:26:30PM HAVE A SOLE RESIDENT.
7:26:32PM IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT GIRLFRIENDS, BOYFRIENDS, SPOUSES,
7:26:34PM FAMILY, FRIENDS WILL BE LIVING IN THESE UNITS.
7:26:37PM THAT BALLOONS THE NUMBER OF NEW CARS ON THE STREET TO 16
7:26:40PM PLUS, EFFECTIVELY DOUBLING THE NUMBER OF CARS AND TRAFFIC ON
7:26:42PM THE STREET.
7:26:43PM THIS WILL ABSOLUTELY REQUIRE THE NEW TENANTS TO PARK ON THE
7:26:45PM YARDS AND ON THE STREETS OF THE NEIGHBORS.
7:26:48PM THESE CHANGES WILL EFFECTIVELY MAKE THIS A ONE-WAY STREET AS
7:26:53PM NO TWO CARS COULD PASS AT THE SAME TIME.
7:26:54PM IT WILL SLOW TRAFFIC AND BLIGHT THE NEIGHBORHOOD BUT WORSE,
7:26:56PM MAKE THE STREET MORE DANGEROUS.
7:26:57PM STUDIES ON TRAFFIC ENGINEERING ARE ABUNDANT.
7:26:59PM PICKING FROM THE NUMEROUS STUDIES, A REVIEW OF
7:27:01PM EVIDENCE-BASED TRAFFIC ENGINEERING MEASURES DESIGNED TO
7:27:03PM REDUCE PEDESTRIAN MOTOR VEHICLE CRASHES PUBLISHED IN THE
7:27:06PM AMERICAN PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION REPORTED THAT 69% OF
7:27:08PM CHILDREN AND PEDESTRIAN INJURIES OCCUR MID BLOCK WHEN
7:27:12PM CHILDREN DART INTO THE STREET.
7:27:13PM YOUNG CHILDREN HAVE DIFFICULTY JUDGING VEHICLE DISTANCE AND
7:27:16PM VELOCITY AND LACK THE RELEVANT COGNITIVE SKILLS REQUIRED TO
7:27:18PM MAKE VALID AND CONSISTENT CROSSING JUDGMENTS.
7:27:20PM WITH CARS NUMBERING AT LEAST 11 PLUS ON THE STREETS WITH THE
7:27:23PM FIVE THAT THEY WILL HAVE PARKED THERE, THE LIMITED PARKING,
7:27:26PM THE PROPERTY HAS, WHO WILL BE BLAMED WHEN A CHILD IS HIT IN
7:27:29PM OUR NEIGHBORHOOD?
7:27:29PM THIS IS A SERIOUS QUESTION THAT NEEDS TO BE ASKED AND THIS
7:27:32PM WILL BE IRREVERSIBLE ONCE THE DECISION IS MADE BY CITY
7:27:34PM COUNCIL THAT THEIR OWN CODES ALREADY FIND TO BE INCONSISTENT
7:27:37PM WITH THE NEEDS OF THE TENANTS AND THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE.
7:27:39PM THIS I HAVE HERE IS AN IMAGE, AND THIS WAS TAKEN ACTUALLY ON
7:27:47PM NEW YEAR'S EVE.
7:27:47PM THAT IS ACTUALLY, IF YOU CAN COUNT NINE CARS CURRENTLY
7:27:50PM PARKED IN THERE RIGHT NOW.
7:27:53PM AND ONE LESS WOULD BE WHAT THEY WOULD EFFECTIVELY NEED.
7:27:57PM ADDITIONALLY, THIS IS THE SAME ROAD.
7:28:00PM THIS IS THE SAME ROAD ON NEW YEAR'S EVE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF
7:28:05PM THAT BUILDING.
7:28:06PM IF YOU COUNT THE FIVE OR EVEN FOUR THEY HAVE WITH THE
7:28:09PM HANDICAP, THAT'S FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, TEN, ELEVEN,
7:28:13PM SO YOU'D HAVE TO DO 12, 13, 14, 15 TO EVEN GET CLOSE.
7:28:17PM SO THIS WOULD BE A MORE CORRECT IMAGE OF WHAT THE RENDERING
7:28:20PM SHOWED WITH NO CARS PARKED ON THE STREET.
7:28:23PM EFFECTIVELY MAKING EVERY NIGHT ON OUR STREET NEW YEAR'S EVE.
7:28:26PM THANK YOU.
7:28:33PM >> HI.
7:28:34PM JORDAN MILLER, 4406 NORTH SUWANNEE AVENUE.
7:28:38PM I'M HERE TO REQUEST THAT COUNCIL SUPPORT THIS PROJECT, GRANT
7:28:46PM WAIVERS, AND ALLOW THE REZONING.
7:28:51PM THE PROPERTY OWNER, MUCH LIKE MYSELF, ARE LONGTIME RESIDENTS
7:28:54PM OF SEMINOLE HEIGHTS AND HAVE MANY PROJECTS THAT POINT TO
7:29:00PM THEIR ABILITY TO TAKE ADAPTIVE REUSE PROJECTS THAT
7:29:02PM HISTORICALLY LACK ADEQUATE PARKING AND MAKE THEM USABLE.
7:29:05PM I SEE THIS, WHAT THE PETITIONER AND THE APPLICANT ARE
7:29:14PM LOOKING TO DO IS SOLVING FAR MORE PROBLEMS THAN IT'S
7:29:19PM CREATING.
7:29:19PM THAT PROPERTY HAVING BEEN A RESIDENT OF SEMINOLE HEIGHTS
7:29:22PM SINCE 2001, I DRIVE BY THAT PROPERTY EVERY DAY, SOMETIMES
7:29:25PM MANY TIMES A DAY.
7:29:27PM AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLES COMING ON AND OFF OF THAT PROPERTY
7:29:30PM IF THE PROPERTY WERE LEFT TO FUNCTION THE WAY IT HAS
7:29:34PM HISTORICALLY FAR MORE DANGEROUS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:29:35PM I LIVE ONE BLOCK ON THE OTHER SIDE OF FLORIDA AVENUE FROM
7:29:37PM THAT PROPERTY.
7:29:38PM I DRIVE THROUGH THERE EVERY DAY.
7:29:40PM I RIDE MY BIKE DOWN THAT STREET TO THE PARK WITH MY SON MANY
7:29:46PM TIMES A WEEK.
7:29:46PM I JUST SEE THIS MOVING MUCH CLOSER TO A DIRECTION THAT IS
7:29:49PM BETTER FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IS BETTER FOR THE BLOCK, STREET
7:29:54PM PARKING, IT'S A CONSTANT BATTLE IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS.
7:29:57PM I HAVE RANDOM STRANGERS THAT PARK IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE
7:30:00PM LEGALLY.
7:30:01PM THAT'S JUST A REALITY.
7:30:02PM IT'S BEEN A REALITY SINCE I'VE LIVED HERE.
7:30:04PM IT WAS A REALITY LONG BEFORE I LIVED HERE.
7:30:06PM I DON'T THINK THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO BE INDUCING THAT
7:30:10PM PROBLEM.
7:30:11PM I THINK IF ANYTHING, THESE PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE A TENDENCY
7:30:14PM TO TRY TO INDUCE ALTERNATIVE WAYS TENANTS COULD COMMUTE,
7:30:20PM COULD GET TO AND FROM WORK.
7:30:23PM THERE'S A NUMBER OF NEW BUSINESSES POPPING UP IN SEMINOLE
7:30:26PM HEIGHTS IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WHERE YOU HAVE A NUMBER
7:30:29PM OF EMPLOYEES THAT DON'T DRIVE CARS.
7:30:31PM THEY RIDE BIKES.
7:30:32PM THEY WALK.
7:30:32PM THEY TAKE THE BUS.
7:30:34PM THIS IS TO ME A TOTALLY VIABLE PROJECT FOR SOMEBODY THAT
7:30:37PM DOESN'T HAVE A CAR, DOESN'T NEED A CAR.
7:30:40PM I REQUEST THAT YOU GRANT THE WAIVERS AND APPROVE THE
7:30:42PM APPLICANT'S REQUEST FOR REZONING.
7:30:47PM THANK YOU.
7:30:49PM >> HELLO.
7:30:50PM MY NAME IS AMBER JAMES.
7:30:51PM I'M A HOMEOWNER IN SOUTH SEMINOLE HEIGHTS.
7:30:54PM I'M HERE TO BASICALLY ATTEST TO THE FACT THAT PARKING IS AN
7:30:57PM ISSUE.
7:30:58PM IT'S THE ONLY -- WE HAVE NO MULTIUNIT FAMILY PROPERTIES ON
7:31:07PM MY STREET AND PARKING IS AN ISSUE.
7:31:09PM THAT'S WITH EVERYBODY HAVING THEIR OWN DRIVEWAY.
7:31:12PM FAMILY, GUEST, THAT SORT OF THING, WE CAN'T PASS TWO CARS AT
7:31:16PM THE SAME TIME.
7:31:16PM THE NEIGHBOR'S CAR HAS BEEN BACKED INTO.
7:31:21PM THERE'S CONSTANTLY ARGUMENTS OVER PARKING.
7:31:23PM I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOU DENY THE REQUEST.
7:31:27PM THANK YOU.
7:31:29PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
7:31:30PM DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 12?
7:31:33PM ALL RIGHT.
7:31:35PM PETITIONER?
7:31:35PM YOU'VE GOT REBUTTAL TIME.
7:31:38PM >> THANK YOU.
7:31:38PM JUST A FEW BRIEF COMMENTS.
7:31:40PM CERTAINLY, AS ONE OF THE SPEAKERS POINTED OUT, COMMERCIAL
7:31:45PM VEHICLES THAT ARE ON THE SITE WHEN THEY PURCHASED IT AND
7:31:48PM THAT WOULD REMAIN ON THE SITE IF IT REMAINS AN INDUSTRIAL
7:31:51PM USE WOULD BE FAR MORE DANGEROUS AND CONGESTIVE FOR THE
7:31:54PM NEIGHBORHOOD THAN SINGLE-FAMILY, THAN HAVING CARS FROM
7:31:58PM HAVING ONE PARKING SPACE SHORT OF WHAT'S REQUIRED.
7:32:01PM ONCE AGAIN, THIS SITE IS JUST OFF FLORIDA AVENUE.
7:32:03PM IT'S RIGHT ALONG A MAJOR BUS ROUTE THAT GOES DOWNTOWN AND
7:32:08PM ALSO GOES TO USF.
7:32:09PM WE HAVE BICYCLE AND MOTORCYCLE PARKING IN ADDITION TO THE
7:32:11PM PARKING SPACES.
7:32:13PM I HAVE SOME PICTURES OF SOME OF THE STREETS AROUND HERE.
7:32:16PM YOU CAN SEE THAT PARKING IS -- AND I CHECKED WITH THE CITY
7:32:19PM -- AND PARKING -- THIS IS A STREET OVER.
7:32:22PM BUT IT SHOWS THERE'S PARKING ON THE STREET AND IT'S NOT
7:32:26PM CAUSING A PROBLEM.
7:32:30PM ON-STREET PARKING ON GENESEE IS PERFECTLY LEGAL.
7:32:34PM IF WE HAD EIGHT SPACES AND WE HAD COMPANY, WE COULD STILL
7:32:37PM PARK ON GENESEE STREET LEGALLY AND IT WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE.
7:32:42PM IT'S WHAT'S ALLOWED.
7:32:43PM ANYBODY CAN PARK ON IT.
7:32:45PM THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL SIMILAR PROJECTS AT SEMINOLE HEIGHTS
7:32:48PM AND HYDE PARK WHERE IT'S BEEN RETROFITTING SMALL
7:32:52PM NONCONFORMING USES INTO SMALL APARTMENTS NEXT TO
7:32:55PM SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE BEEN
7:32:57PM PROBLEMATIC.
7:32:58PM I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE CARS CAME FROM THAT NEW YEAR'S EVE
7:33:01PM PHOTO BECAUSE IT WASN'T THE COUTURES.
7:33:03PM THE BUILDING WAS UNOCCUPIED.
7:33:05PM IT MUST HAVE BEEN PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD GOING TO
7:33:08PM PARTIES PARKING IN THERE.
7:33:10PM THAT WOULD ALSO BE ELIMINATED IF THERE WAS A PARKING
7:33:12PM BUILDING THERE AND WE HAD A PARKING LOT AND EVERYTHING DONE
7:33:15PM THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO.
7:33:18PM ONCE AGAIN, WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOU TAKE INTO
7:33:22PM CONSIDERATION THE FACT THAT WE ARE REUSING AN INDUSTRIAL
7:33:25PM BUILDING AND TURNING IT INTO A SMALL MULTIFAMILY BUILDING
7:33:28PM RIGHT OFF FLORIDA AVENUE THREE DOORS DOWN.
7:33:32PM WE THINK FAR BETTER USE OF THE PROPERTY AND MUCH MORE IN
7:33:35PM KEEPING WITH THE VISION OF SEMINOLE HEIGHTS AND HAS BEEN
7:33:38PM ADOPTED BY THE COMMUNITY.
7:33:39PM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
7:33:45PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS?
7:33:50PM >>HARRY COHEN: I UNDERSTAND THE WAIVERS TECHNICALLY FROM 8
7:33:52PM TO 7, BUT THE WAY, WHEN I SEE IT, IT LOOKS LIKE 8 TO 4
7:33:57PM BECAUSE ONE IS HANDICAPPED AND THEN YOU HAVE THE MOTORCYCLE
7:34:02PM AND BICYCLE PARKING IN LIEU.
7:34:04PM HOW DOES THAT WORK THAT THE MOTORCYCLE AND BICYCLE PARKING
7:34:10PM IN LIEU?
7:34:10PM EXPLAIN HOW YOU QUALIFY FOR THAT AND WHAT YOU NEED IN ORDER
7:34:14PM TO TAKE UP A SPACE?
7:34:21PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO.
7:34:22PM BUILT INTO THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS CODE, WHICH I BELIEVE WAS
7:34:27PM ADOPTED MAYBE 2010, 2011 WAS THE ALLOWANCE FOR WHAT THEY
7:34:35PM CALL PARKING OFFSETS.
7:34:36PM THAT WAS BUILT INTO THE CODE TO ALLOW FOR ALTERNATIVES TO
7:34:39PM STANDARD VEHICULAR PARKING FOR SEMINOLE HEIGHTS.
7:34:41PM THIS IS THE ONLY PART OF THE CITY WHERE YOU CAN DO THIS.
7:34:45PM INSTEAD OF HAVING A STANDARD VEHICLE OF PARKING SPACES, IF
7:34:49PM YOU PROVIDE, I THINK IT'S LIKE SIX BIKE PARKING SPOTS,
7:34:54PM THAT'S THE EQUIVALENT TO ONE VEHICULAR PARKING SPOT.
7:34:58PM A BICYCLE PAD PARKING CAN COUNT AS ONE VEHICULAR SPOT.
7:35:02PM SO THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS CODE BUILT INTO THE LANGUAGE IS THE
7:35:07PM ALLOWED TRADE-OFF FOR STANDARD PARKING SPACES FOR
7:35:09PM ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION MEANS PARKING.
7:35:11PM SO THAT'S NOT A WAIVER OR ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE TO ASK
7:35:16PM SPECIAL APPROVAL FOR.
7:35:17PM THAT'S JUST ALTERNATIVE PARKING STYLES FOR ALTERNATIVE
7:35:20PM TRANSPORTATION FOR THIS SPECIFIC --
7:35:21PM >>HARRY COHEN: ONE MOTORCYCLE PAD TO ONE VEHICULAR PARKING
7:35:25PM SPACE?
7:35:26PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: I WILL HAVE TO VERIFY THAT.
7:35:29PM IT'S ON THE SITE PLAN.
7:35:30PM ONE MOMENT, PLEASE.
7:35:38PM BICYCLE PARKING IS ONE PARKING SPACE.
7:35:50PM AND THEN UP TO 10% CAN BE MOTORCYCLE PARKING.
7:35:52PM SO ONE MOTORCYCLE SPACE FOR ONE PARKING SPACE.
7:35:55PM YOU CAN ONLY DO BOTH OF THOSE OPTIONS UP TO 10%.
7:36:01PM YOU CAN PROVIDE ALL BICYCLE PARKING --
7:36:05PM >>HARRY COHEN: EACH ONE UP TO 10%.
7:36:07PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: YEAH.
7:36:08PM THEY ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE THE ADA SPOT.
7:36:11PM DO YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER COMMENTS?
7:36:17PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM
7:36:20PM COUNCIL?
7:36:21PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: ONE OF THE -- WHAT MAKES THIS A TOUGH ONE, OF
7:36:25PM COURSE, WE ALREADY HAVE A PARKING ISSUE REGARDLESS OF
7:36:29PM WHETHER OR NOT THIS PROJECT GETS BUILT.
7:36:31PM WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT COME BEFORE US.
7:36:34PM IN TERMS OF WHEN YOU WERE LOOKING AT THE DEVELOPMENT OF IT,
7:36:36PM OBVIOUSLY YOU PUT EIGHT UNITS IN THERE AS OPPOSED TO SIX OR
7:36:39PM FIVE OR WHATEVER.
7:36:40PM WHAT WAS THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND IT, ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU
7:36:43PM KNEW THAT PARKING WAS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE BASED ON THE
7:36:47PM SIZE.
7:36:48PM >> THE REASON WE DID THAT IS TO KEEP THE PRICE OF THE RENT
7:36:51PM AFFORDABLE.
7:36:52PM THE LESS UNITS, THE MORE THEY HAVE TO CHARGE FOR THE UNIT
7:36:54PM AND THEN IT'S TAKING THEM OUT OF THE MARKET THEY ARE TRYING
7:36:57PM TO SERVE.
7:36:58PM IT'S REALLY AN ECONOMIC ISSUE AT THAT POINT.
7:37:01PM THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE THEM AFFORDABLE AND LARGE ENOUGH TO
7:37:04PM BE COMFORTABLE TO LIVE IN, ONE BEDROOM ONLY, BUT THE LESS
7:37:08PM YOU PUT IN, THE MORE WE HAVE TO CHARGE RENT FOR THE
7:37:10PM REMAINING TO PICK IT UP.
7:37:12PM THAT'S REALLY THE REASON WHY.
7:37:14PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: THE ISSUES WE HAVE IS THAT WE HAD TO REMOVE
7:37:16PM OUR FIVE-MINUTE PARKING WARNING THAT WE HAD ON HERE ON
7:37:22PM ORDINANCE BECAUSE OF THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF
7:37:24PM TRANSPORTATION.
7:37:24PM NOW ALL THE STREETS THAT ARE NOT ALREADY LIMITED FOR SOME
7:37:28PM REASON, WHETHER IT'S SPECIFIC NEIGHBORHOOD OR WHATEVER,
7:37:33PM PEOPLE CAN PARK ON THE STREET WITHOUT A PROBLEM.
7:37:35PM WHAT WE'RE HEARING FROM THE AUDIENCE AND FROM OTHER FOLKS,
7:37:44PM OF COURSE, IS THAT THERE'S ALREADY PEOPLE PARKING ON THAT
7:37:45PM STREET, AND IT WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT, EVEN FOR THE PEOPLE
7:37:48PM LIVING IN THE UNITS BECAUSE THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH
7:37:50PM PARKING FOR THEM.
7:37:50PM WE'RE KIND OF IN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE SITUATION.
7:37:53PM THAT'S WHY WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT.
7:37:55PM >> WELL, I WAS THERE.
7:37:56PM I WENT BY AND LOOKED AT ALL THE STREETS AROUND IT AND THE
7:37:59PM PARKING SITUATION.
7:38:00PM IT WASN'T LIKE 6:00 AT NIGHT WHERE EVERYBODY WAS AT HOME.
7:38:02PM IT WAS ABOUT 4:30, 5:00 IN THE AFTERNOON.
7:38:05PM THERE WAS NOBODY PARKED ON THE STREET AT THE TIME.
7:38:11PM AT 7:00 AT NIGHT THERE MAY BE CALLS BUT THERE WAS NOBODY
7:38:14PM THERE AT ALL ON THE STREET.
7:38:15PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: THE WAY WE LOOK AT IT, WE CAN'T DETERMINE
7:38:18PM WHERE ANYBODY IS AT AT ANY ONE TIME ON ANY ONE STREET.
7:38:21PM WE KNOW THAT THAT SITUATION EXISTS IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS AND
7:38:25PM THE REST OF THE CITY.
7:38:27PM IT'S EVERYWHERE.
7:38:27PM THAT'S PART OF OUR PROBLEM.
7:38:28PM THANK YOU.
7:38:29PM >>FRANK REDDICK: MR. MANISCALCO.
7:38:30PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, IN LOOKING AT THE
7:38:32PM BEFORE PICTURES WITH ALL THE -- WHEN IT WAS A COMMERCIAL
7:38:37PM BUSINESS HERE AND HOW THEY WERE PARKED, WHAT DO WE DO?
7:38:42PM DENY THIS AND LEAVE IT VACANT?
7:38:44PM OR APPROVE THIS WHERE THEY ARE ADDING AT LEAST DECENT
7:38:47PM PARKING, A PARKING LOT AND SPRUCING UP THE PROPERTY WHICH I
7:38:51PM THINK WOULD ENHANCE THE NEIGHBORHOOD?
7:38:54PM TO ME IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO DENY THE PROJECT.
7:38:56PM IT'S A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE FROM WHAT IT WAS.
7:38:59PM IT'S ESSENTIALLY A HISTORICAL BUILDING.
7:39:00PM IT'S VERY UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE, I WOULD SAY.
7:39:04PM IT'S NOT YOUR TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL, BUT I THINK IT'S GREAT.
7:39:09PM IT WOULD BE A PLUS.
7:39:09PM THAT'S IT.
7:39:13PM >>FRANK REDDICK: MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING?
7:39:14PM >> SO MOVED.
7:39:15PM >>FRANK REDDICK: MOTION FROM MR. MANISCALCO.
7:39:16PM SECONDED BY MR. COHEN.

7:40:18PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: ITEM NUMBER 13 IS REZ 18-117, A REZONING
7:40:24PM REQUEST FROM RO (RESIDENTIAL OFFICE) TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
7:40:26PM FOR SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED RESIDENTIAL AT THE PROPERTY AT
7:40:28PM 2108 WEST AZEELE STREET.
7:40:30PM >>Jennifer Malone: JENNIFER MALONE WITH YOUR PLANNING
7:40:36PM COMMISSION STAFF.
7:40:37PM THIS IS LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT
7:40:40PM EVACUATION ZONE C.
7:40:41PM THERE IS A TRANSIT STOP ABOUT 350 FEET TO THE NORTH OF THE
7:40:45PM SUBJECT SITE WHICH IS SERVED BY HART ROUTE 19.
7:40:49PM I'LL SHOW YOU AN AERIAL.
7:40:50PM IT'S ON AZEELE.
7:40:54PM I KNOW YOU CAN'T SEE THE STREET NAME, BUT THIS IS WESTLAND
7:40:58PM AVENUE RIGHT HERE.
7:40:58PM AND THEN I HAVE SOUTH HOWARD AVENUE.
7:41:01PM SO THIS PORTION OF SOUTH HOWARD HAS A VARIETY OF RESTAURANTS
7:41:05PM AND NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT AND THEN WE HAVE A DECEDENT AMOUNT
7:41:09PM OF THE MULTIFAMILY AS WE MOVE -- AS YOU MOVE AWAY FROM SOUTH
7:41:14PM HOWARD AVENUE, WHICH IS -- PLATT STREET IS TO THE NORTH
7:41:20PM REFLECTED ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
7:41:21PM THIS IS A RESIDENTIAL 35, WHICH IS THE DARKER BROWN.
7:41:24PM AND THEN THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 WHICH ALLOWS COMMERCIAL
7:41:27PM USES, RESTAURANTS, IS LOCATED ALONG SOUTH HOWARD AVENUE AND
7:41:30PM WEST PLATT STREET.
7:41:32PM THIS WAS -- SUPPORT THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU TODAY AND WE ALSO
7:41:41PM SUPPORT THE DESIGN OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND ON THE PLANNED
7:41:43PM DEVELOPMENT, PEDESTRIAN ENTRANCES ARE ORIENTED BECAUSE WE DO
7:41:47PM HAVE A POLICY IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WHICH SPEAKS TO
7:41:50PM THAT, HAVING THE ENTRANCE FACING THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY.
7:41:54PM SO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS SUPPORTIVE OF WHAT'S BEFORE YOU
7:41:57PM TODAY.
7:41:57PM AND WE DO FIND THAT THIS WILL FURTHER MANY OF OUR POLICIES
7:42:02PM ESPECIALLY RELATED TO HOUSING AND THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE
7:42:06PM UNDERUTILIZED SUBJECT SITE.
7:42:08PM RESIDENTIAL 35, AS I SAID AND IT'S SUPPORTED BY THE
7:42:11PM UNDERLYING FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY.
7:42:13PM THANK YOU.
7:42:22PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO.
7:42:24PM SO WE ARE DOWN ON AZEELE AND WESTLAND.
7:42:29PM HERE IS A ZONING MAP.
7:42:31PM AS YOU CAN SEE, THE PROPERTY IS IN GREEN AND CURRENTLY ZONED
7:42:34PM RESIDENTIAL OFFICE.
7:42:36PM AS YOU KNOW, WE SEE A PROJECT IN THIS AREA EVERY SEVERAL
7:42:40PM MONTHS.
7:42:41PM OVER A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME THIS AREA HAS TRANSITIONED
7:42:47PM OVER TO HIGHER DENSITY PER THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
7:42:50PM DESIGNATION POLICY DIRECTION.
7:42:51PM HERE IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
7:42:54PM IT'S CURRENTLY AN OFFICE.
7:42:57PM LET ME SHOW YOU WHERE I'M GOING.
7:43:00PM I'M AT AZEELE.
7:43:02PM I'LL KIND OF LOOK AT ALL OF THE STRUCTURES IN THE NODE.
7:43:07PM SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM AZEELE.
7:43:09PM HERE IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM WESTLAND.
7:43:11PM DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ON WESTLAND IS
7:43:16PM A SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE.
7:43:17PM I BELIEVE.
7:43:20PM ACROSS WESTLAND IS A TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT THAT'S WITHIN A
7:43:28PM PD.
7:43:29PM ACROSS AZEELE IS ANOTHER MULTIUNIT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
7:43:33PM THERE'S A SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE HERE ON THE CORNER OF AZEELE
7:43:38PM AND ALBANY.
7:43:40PM AND THEN DIRECTLY TO THE EAST OF THE PROPERTY IS AN OFFICE
7:43:44PM BUILDING ON AZEELE AND ALBANY AS WELL.
7:43:46PM THIS IS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, SO THEY ARE PROPOSING A
7:43:50PM SPECIFIC SITE PLAN.
7:43:51PM TOTAL LOT IS 8,000 SQUARE FEET.
7:43:56PM THEY ARE PROPOSING FOUR TOWNHOME SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED,
7:44:04PM RATHER, UNITS.
7:44:05PM TWO WILL HAVE VEHICULAR ACCESS TO AZEELE.
7:44:13PM ONE WILL BE OFF OF WESTLAND, AND THEN THE FOURTH UNIT WILL
7:44:19PM COME OFF OF THE ALLEY.
7:44:21PM THEY ARE MEETING ALL APPLICABLE CODE REQUIREMENTS EXCEPT FOR
7:44:24PM ONE.
7:44:25PM THEY NEED A WAIVER TO SECTION 13-165D TO ALLOW PAYMENT IN
7:44:32PM LIEU TO THE CITY TREE TRUST FUND FOR TREES NOT MITIGATED ON
7:44:37PM SITE.
7:44:37PM THEY ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE 11 REPLACEMENT TREES.
7:44:39PM THERE'S NOT ADEQUATE SPACE TO PLANT ALL OF THE REPLACEMENT
7:44:42PM TREES ON-SITE, SO THEY HAVE TO PAY INTO THE TREE TRUST FUND.
7:44:46PM BEYOND THAT, THEY MEET ALL APPLICABLE CODE STANDARDS.
7:44:51PM THE SETBACKS TO THE NORTH ARE 10 FEET, SOUTH IS 7, EAST IS
7:44:55PM 17 AND WEST IS 14.
7:44:57PM THE PROPOSED HEIGHT IS 37 FEET.
7:45:00PM A TOTAL OF 9 PARKING SPACES INCLUDING GUEST SPACES ARE
7:45:05PM REQUIRED AND 9 PROVIDED THROUGH A COMBINATION OF SURFACE
7:45:08PM PARKING AND GARAGES.
7:45:09PM THERE ARE SOME CHANGES BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING FROM
7:45:13PM LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION ONLY.
7:45:16PM THERE WERE NO FURTHER COMMENTS FROM ANY OF THE OTHER
7:45:19PM DEPARTMENTS, AND OVERALL, THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND
7:45:22PM COMPLIANCE STAFF FOUND THIS CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF
7:45:24PM TAMPA CODE OF ORDINANCES.
7:45:26PM SHOULD IT BE THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL TO GRANT THE WAIVER,
7:45:30PM PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU INCLUDE THE REVISION SHEET IN YOUR
7:45:33PM MOTION.
7:45:34PM ANY QUESTIONS?
7:45:38PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?
7:45:40PM ALL RIGHT.
7:45:41PM PETITIONER.
7:45:47PM >> MATTHEW CAMPO, CAMPO ENGINEERING.
7:45:50PM THIS PARTICULAR REQUEST IS FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD.
7:45:54PM THIS PARTICULAR LOT CONFIGURATION ON THE END, ALLEYS ON ALL
7:45:59PM SIDES, OBVIOUSLY, ALLOWS FOR -- WE HAVE TWO-CAR PARKING IN
7:46:04PM EVERY DRIVEWAY.
7:46:05PM YOU'VE SEEN SOME OF THE OTHER PROJECTS WE'VE BROUGHT BEFORE
7:46:07PM YOU.
7:46:07PM THEY ARE MUCH TIGHTER THAN THIS.
7:46:09PM THIS PROVIDES MORE GREENSPACE AND OPPORTUNITY.
7:46:11PM I REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING SPECIFIC.
7:46:14PM I'LL SAVE FOR QUESTIONS.
7:46:15PM I THINK THIS IS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.
7:46:17PM AND I'M AVAILABLE TO ANSWER.
7:46:19PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
7:46:20PM ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 13?
7:46:31PM >> GOOD EVENING.
7:46:32PM MY NAME IS KEN SCHARETT.
7:46:34PM I LIVE AT 109 SOUTH WESTLAND AVENUE.
7:46:37PM I'M THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE SOHO NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
7:46:44PM OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS OPPOSED TO THIS DEVELOPMENT AT THE
7:46:47PM CORNER OF WESTLAND AND AZEELE.
7:46:49PM THE FOLLOWING PHOTOS WILL ILLUSTRATE THE DEVELOPER, WEEKLEY
7:46:58PM HOMES, AND ITS INABILITY TO CONTROL SOIL RUNOFF AND THE
7:47:03PM INABILITY OF THE TAMPA CODE ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT TO HANDLE
7:47:09PM THE PROBLEM.
7:47:14PM NOW, THIS IS LOCATED AT 401 SOUTH MELVILLE.
7:47:20PM THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN NOVEMBER 3rd, 2018, AT LIKE 9:45 IN
7:47:28PM THE MORNING.
7:47:29PM HERE'S ANOTHER PICTURE OF THE SAME AREA.
7:47:36PM AND NOTICE ALL THE RUNOFF IN THE STREET.
7:47:40PM THE WHOLE SIDEWALK, YOU CAN'T EVEN GET DOWN THAT SIDEWALK.
7:47:44PM AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT.
7:47:46PM AND THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THIS PROPERTY BECAUSE
7:47:49PM THERE'S ANOTHER PROPERTY THAT'S ELEVATED.
7:47:52PM AND WHEN IT'S ELEVATED AND YOU TAKE AND JUST PUT THE FABRIC
7:47:59PM THAT WE USE FOR CONTROLLING SOIL EROSION NOW, THE CODE
7:48:05PM CHANGES NEED TO BE RETHOUGHT THAT WE PRESENTLY RECOGNIZE THE
7:48:11PM DEVELOPMENT ON ENCLOSED PROPERTY WITH FABRIC MATERIAL TO
7:48:15PM CONTROL SOIL RUNOFF.
7:48:16PM THE PRESENT WAY OF CONTAINING SOIL RUNOFF IS LIKE HANDING A
7:48:21PM MAN A ROLL OF SARAN WRAP AND TELLING A MAN TO USE THIS AS A
7:48:25PM CONDOM.
7:48:25PM ALL PROPERTY FACING A STREET SHOULD HAVE SANDBAGS TO CONTROL
7:48:30PM THE SOIL RUNOFF.
7:48:32PM WE NEED TO UPDATE OUR CODE REGULATIONS FOR CONTROLLING
7:48:37PM RUNOFF.
7:48:38PM WE'RE LIVING IN THE 21st CENTURY AND WE'RE PLAYING LIKE
7:48:43PM WE'RE BACK IN THE 4th CENTURY.
7:48:46PM YOU CAN'T EVEN CONTROL RUNOFF.
7:48:47PM YOU THINK A PIECE OF PLASTIC IS GOING TO STOP SAND FROM
7:48:52PM RUNNING INTO THE STREET.
7:48:54PM THAT'S WHAT WE'VE HAD FOR THE FOUR MONTHS.
7:48:56PM ONCE THEY GET THAT FIRST STRUCTURE BUILT, THE CONCRETE
7:49:00PM STRUCTURE, THE FIRST LEVEL, THEN THEY BRING IN THE WOOD FOR
7:49:04PM THE SECOND AND THE THIRD LEVEL.
7:49:07PM AND THAT'S WHEN ALL THAT BLOCK OF FABRIC IS TEARING DOWN AND
7:49:17PM THERE'S NOTHING PUT IN PLACE OF IT.
7:49:19PM AND NEED TO HAVE -- WE'RE FILLING OUR SEWERS WITH SAND FROM
7:49:26PM THIS DEVELOPER.
7:49:27PM AND THIS ISN'T WHAT WE WANT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:49:30PM THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HAS SEEN A LOT OF REDEVELOPMENT OVER THE
7:49:36PM PAST TEN YEARS WITH NO INNER STRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS.
7:49:40PM [BELL]
7:49:41PM >>FRANK REDDICK: THANK YOU, SIR.
7:49:44PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: SIR, CAN I ASK YOU A QUICK QUESTION?
7:49:47PM EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE DESCRIBING HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH
7:49:51PM ISSUES OBVIOUSLY DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS.
7:49:54PM >> CORRECT.
7:49:54PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: ARE YOU AGAINST THE PROJECT ITSELF, THOUGH?
7:49:57PM >> I'M AGAINST THIS DEVELOPER.
7:49:59PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: YOU'RE AGAINST THE DEVELOPER.
7:50:02PM >> AND I'M AGAINST THE CODE ENFORCEMENT OF THE POLICIES THAT
7:50:05PM WE HAVE IN THE CITY.
7:50:05PM WE HAVE CALLED CODE ENFORCEMENT ON THIS, AND THERE'S NOTHING
7:50:12PM HAPPENED.
7:50:12PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I UNDERSTOOD
7:50:17PM BECAUSE AS WE DO THESE CASES THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH
7:50:21PM SPECIFICS THAT ARE A PART OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
7:50:24PM THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING THE QUESTION, IF THERE WERE ANY
7:50:26PM OTHER ISSUES BESIDES THE ISSUES THAT YOU JUST STATED.
7:50:29PM AND THAT'S ALL.
7:50:31PM I WANT TO MAKE SURE I WAS CLEAR ABOUT THAT.
7:50:34PM >> THE PROBLEM IS THIS IS AN ELEVATED PIECE OF LAND AND
7:50:40PM YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM
7:50:44PM AGAIN.
7:50:45PM I'M SAYING TO YOU, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
7:50:48PM ARE YOU GOING TO DO ANYTHING?
7:50:49PM ARE YOU GOING TO CHANGE THIS CODE?
7:50:51PM ARE YOU GOING TO GET CODE ENFORCEMENT TO TAKE AND DO THE JOB
7:50:55PM THEY'VE BEEN HIRED TO DO?
7:50:56PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: YOU ANSWERED MY QUESTION WHICH THOSE ARE
7:50:59PM ISSUES WE CAN'T DEAL WITH SPECIFICALLY DURING THIS CASE.
7:51:02PM THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I ASKED THE QUESTION.
7:51:04PM >> I UNDERSTAND THAT.
7:51:04PM I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THAT THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS NOT
7:51:07PM PUTTING UP WITH THIS BULL ANYMORE.
7:51:14PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ON ITEM 13?
7:51:22PM >> OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT ISSUE.
7:51:24PM MATTHEW CAMPO, CAMPO ENGINEERING.
7:51:28PM AGAIN THIS IS THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT ISSUE.
7:51:29PM ACTUALLY, I'M AWARE OF THE PHOTOS.
7:51:31PM I MET WITH THIS GENTLEMAN AFTER A PREVIOUS HEARING AND I DID
7:51:35PM TAKE THIS INFORMATION BACK TO THE DEVELOPER TO MAKE SURE
7:51:37PM THEY ARE AWARE OF RESPONSIBILITIES WITH RESPECT TO -- IT'S
7:51:41PM CALLED BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES.
7:51:43PM TAKING CARE OF YOUR SITE DURING CONSTRUCTION.
7:51:45PM SO THAT INFORMATION HAS PASSED ON.
7:51:47PM OBVIOUSLY, IT'S A CODE ENFORCEMENT ASPECT WHICH IS HANDLED
7:51:51PM BEYOND THIS PARTICULAR HEARING.
7:51:52PM THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
7:51:53PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
7:51:53PM ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE PETITIONER?
7:51:55PM MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING?
7:51:57PM GOT A MOTION FROM MR. MIRANDA.
7:52:00PM SECONDED BY MR. MANISCALCO.
7:52:01PM ALL IN FAVOR OF THAT MOTION SAY AYE.
7:52:03PM OPPOSED?

7:53:04PM WE GO TO THE LAST ITEM OF THE NIGHT, ITEM NUMBER 14.
7:53:10PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO.
7:53:11PM THE LAST ITEM ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA IS REZ 18-82.

7:53:36PM NORTH STREET.
7:53:41PM >>Jennifer Malone: JENNIFER MALONE WITH YOUR PLANNING
7:53:43PM COMMISSION STAFF.
7:53:44PM THIS IS IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT.
7:53:46PM IT IS ALSO WITHIN THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS URBAN VILLAGE.
7:53:49PM IT'S NOT WITHIN AN EVACUATION ZONE.
7:53:52PM MCDUGALD PARK IS THE CLOSEST PUBLIC RECREATIONAL FACILITY.
7:53:56PM THREE HART ROUTES SERVE THE AREA CONNECTING THE SITE TO
7:54:01PM DOWNTOWN TAMPA, UNIVERSITY AREA TRANSIT CENTER, AS WELL AS
7:54:04PM OTHER DESTINATIONS.
7:54:05PM IT IS LOCATED AT -- THIS IS NEBRASKA AVENUE.
7:54:09PM I HAVE INTERSTATE 275 OVER HERE.
7:54:12PM THIS PORTION OF NEBRASKA AVENUE FROM AN AERIAL, COMMERCIAL
7:54:16PM USES, A LOT OF CAR DEALERSHIPS.
7:54:20PM THERE'S ONE TO THE SOUTH.
7:54:22PM AND THEN THE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED AS WE MOVE AWAY FROM
7:54:25PM NEBRASKA AVENUE.
7:54:26PM ONE THING I DO WANT TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE SITE HAS TWO
7:54:30PM FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORIES.
7:54:32PM SO IT DOES HAVE A FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY OF COMMUNITY
7:54:34PM COMMERCIAL 35 AND COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35.
7:54:37PM THE ENTIRE SITE.
7:54:39PM SO WHILE THERE MIGHT BE USES ON HERE, I BELIEVE THERE WAS A
7:54:43PM SINGLE-FAMILY HOME LOCATED RIGHT ABOUT HERE THAT UNDERLYING
7:54:46PM FUTURE LAND USE WAS COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 ALLOWING FOR A
7:54:50PM VARIETY OF USES WITH THAT THAT CARRIED WITH THE
7:54:54PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION.
7:54:55PM SO WE ALSO HAVE SOME RESIDENTIAL 10 ORANGE.
7:54:59PM RESIDENTIAL 20 IN THE AREA AS WELL.
7:55:01PM AND THEN COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35 IS THE RED WHICH ALLOWS FOR
7:55:05PM COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE AND COMMERCIAL GENERAL USES.
7:55:07PM THE PROPOSAL BEFORE YOU TODAY IS FOR A MIXED-USE
7:55:10PM DEVELOPMENT.
7:55:10PM WE DID FIND THAT IT WOULD BE CONSISTENT BECAUSE THIS IS
7:55:14PM ALONG A MIXED USE CORRIDOR.
7:55:16PM IT'S WITHIN MIXED USE FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORIES.
7:55:19PM IT'S ALONG A TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDOR DEFINED BY THE
7:55:24PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH IS NORTH NEBRASKA AVENUE.
7:55:25PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ENCOURAGES A LOT OF GROWTH IN THESE
7:55:28PM AREAS AS WELL AS WITHIN THESE URBAN VILLAGES.
7:55:30PM IT IS WITHIN THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS URBAN VILLAGES.
7:55:32PM IT ALSO INCLUDES DEVELOPMENT AND RETENTION OF A DIVERSITY OF
7:55:36PM MULTIFAMILY HOUSING TYPES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF ITS PRESENT
7:55:39PM AND FUTURE POPULATION.
7:55:40PM THE APPLICANT DOES PLAN TO DEVELOP THE MULTIFAMILY FAMILY
7:55:44PM UNIT.
7:55:44PM THIS WOULD FURTHER THE CITY'S POLICY ON MULTIFAMILY HOUSING
7:55:49PM TYPES.
7:55:51PM THAT COMPLETES MY PRESENTATION.
7:55:55PM COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE AS WELL AS CONSISTENT WITH THE
7:55:57PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
7:55:58PM I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
7:55:59PM THANK YOU.
7:56:03PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT
7:56:04PM COORDINATION.
7:56:05PM HERE'S THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IN GREEN.
7:56:12PM IT'S ON NEBRASKA AVENUE BOUND BY THE NORTH BY EAST NORTH
7:56:19PM STREET AND TO THE SOUTH BY EAST FERN STREET.
7:56:23PM THE WESTERN HALF OF THE PROPERTY IS ALREADY IN THE SEMINOLE
7:56:27PM HEIGHTS COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE ZONING DISTRICT FOR WHICH THE
7:56:29PM MAJORITY OF THE SECTION OF THE NEBRASKA CORRIDOR IS ZONED
7:56:33PM SEMINOLE HEIGHTS COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE.
7:56:34PM THE EASTERN PORTION IS IN THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS RESIDENTIAL
7:56:39PM ZONING DISTRICT, HOWEVER, AS JENNIFER SAID, IT IS IN THE
7:56:44PM COMMERCIAL 35 LAND USE CATEGORY, WHICH ENVISIONS HIGHER
7:56:48PM INTENSITY AND A MIX OF USES.
7:56:52PM TAKE A TOUR OF THE PROPERTY.
7:56:54PM LOOK AT THE PROPERTY FROM ALL SIDES AS WELL AS ADJOINING
7:56:57PM USES.
7:56:58PM HERE IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM NEBRASKA.
7:57:00PM IT WAS A CAR DEALERSHIP.
7:57:02PM I THINK SOME FOLKS ARE DOING SOME DETAILING ON THE SITE NOW.
7:57:07PM THIS IS A LOOK DOWN NEBRASKA FROM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
7:57:10PM YOU CAN SEE KIND OF GENERALLY WHERE THE PROPERTY LINE IS,
7:57:13PM THE EXISTING SIDEWALK.
7:57:15PM THE RECOVERY AREA BETWEEN THE SIDEWALK AND THE VEHICULAR
7:57:18PM TRAFFIC.
7:57:18PM HERE IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM FERN, BACK IN THIS AREA
7:57:25PM YOU CAN START SEEING SOME OF THE EXISTING TREES ON THE SITE.
7:57:28PM THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS RESIDENTIAL PORTION OF THE PROPERTY I
7:57:35PM SHOWED TO YOU THE EAST IS OCCUPIED BY THE SINGLE-FAMILY
7:57:37PM HOUSE ON FERN STREET THAT WILL BE DEMOLISHED WITH THE
7:57:40PM APPLICATION, IF APPROVED.
7:57:42PM AND THEN ON THE NORTHEAST, NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, THIS
7:57:46PM IS THE BACK OF THE LOT WHICH IS CURRENTLY VACANT WITH SOME
7:57:51PM EXISTING TREES.
7:57:52PM GOING TOWARDS NEBRASKA, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM NORTH
7:57:58PM STREET.
7:57:59PM THIS IS LOOKING DOWN NORTH STREET TOWARDS NEBRASKA AVENUE.
7:58:02PM HERE IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
7:58:03PM HERE'S AN ADJOINING USE.
7:58:05PM YOU CAN KIND OF SEE HOW WIDE THE EXISTING NORTH STREET IS.
7:58:08PM THEY ARE PLANNING ON PROPOSING THEIR DRIVEWAY CUT GENERALLY
7:58:11PM IN THIS LOCATION.
7:58:13PM THE ONLY ACCESS THEY CAN HAVE TO THIS SITE IS FROM EAST
7:58:17PM NORTH STREET.
7:58:19PM FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION DENIED THEM ACCESS TO
7:58:22PM NEBRASKA AVENUE.
7:58:22PM HERE IS A PROPERTY DIRECTLY TO THE NORTH OF THIS APPLICATION
7:58:30PM SITE.
7:58:31PM INTERESTINGLY, I BELIEVE LAST YEAR, THIS WAS A REZONING
7:58:36PM APPLICATION YOU HEARD.
7:58:38PM THIS IS A LITTLE BIT FURTHER, THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY.
7:58:43PM NORTH STREET SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE.
7:58:44PM NOW BACK ON FERN, SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSES.
7:58:50PM THIS IS LOOKING DOWN FERN STREET, LOOKING TO THE EAST WHERE
7:59:00PM THIS IS AN INTERSECTION FERN AND 9th STREET.
7:59:05PM HERE'S THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND IT KIND OF DOES AN S CURVE
7:59:10PM LIKE THIS AND THEN ALSO A STREET DOWN TO THE SOUTH FOR THIS
7:59:16PM KIND OF INTERSECTION.
7:59:17PM ACROSS THE STREET ON NEBRASKA, AS YOU ALL KNOW, MYRIAD OF
7:59:21PM OFFICE AND RETAIL AND VEHICULAR SALES USES.
7:59:26PM I'LL GO BRIEFLY INTO THE SITE PLAN.
7:59:30PM I'M SURE THE APPLICANT WILL GO IN MORE DETAIL.
7:59:34PM ZOOM IN A LITTLE BIT.
7:59:37PM THOUGH THIS SITE IS APPROXIMATELY 1.97 ACRES, AS I STATED,
7:59:48PM IT'S AN OLD CAR DEALERSHIP AND A SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE.
7:59:52PM THEY ARE PROPOSING TO CONSTRUCT APPROXIMATELY 113,741 SQUARE
7:59:58PM FEET, A FOUR-STORY BUILDING.
8:00:00PM WITHIN THAT BUILDING, THERE WILL BE 112 DWELLING UNITS IN
8:00:03PM APARTMENT-STYLE AND 1,220 SQUARE FEET OF BUSINESS
8:00:07PM PROFESSIONAL OFFICE FOR A SEPARATE USE.
8:00:10PM SO THIS IS A VERTICALLY INTEGRATED USE DEVELOPMENT.
8:00:14PM BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL SPACE FOR LEASE AND THEN THERE WILL BE
8:00:18PM 112 RESIDENTIAL UNITS.
8:00:20PM THE BUILDING IS SHAPED KIND OF LIKE A U AND THEN SURFACE
8:00:24PM PARKING.
8:00:24PM LET ME CORRECT MYSELF.
8:00:30PM MAJORITY IS SURFACE PARKING BUT INDIVIDUAL PARKING GARAGES
8:00:35PM ALONG THE PERIMETER OF THE INTERNAL COURTYARD OF THE
8:00:38PM BUILDING.
8:00:38PM THE SETBACKS ARE 10 FROM THE NORTH, 10 FROM THE SOUTH.
8:00:41PM EAST IS 15 FEET, AND WEST IS 10 FEET.
8:00:44PM THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT IS 45 FEET, WHICH IS CONDUCIVE TO THE
8:00:48PM EUCLIDEAN ZONING DISTRICT SO CG AND CI.
8:00:51PM A TOTAL OF 131 PARKING SPACES ARE REQUIRED AND ARE TO BE
8:00:57PM PROVIDED WITH A FOOTNOTE THAT SOME OF THE REQUIRED PARKING,
8:01:01PM AGAIN, WE'RE IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS, AS WE REVIEWED FROM THE
8:01:04PM PREVIOUS CASE, THROUGH A COMBINATION OF STANDARD PARKING
8:01:06PM SPACES AND THEN THE 10% ALLOWANCE FOR BICYCLE PARKING AND
8:01:10PM THEN ANOTHER 10% ALLOWANCE FOR MOTORCYCLE PARKING SPACES.
8:01:13PM BUT PER CODE, ALL THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS ARE MET.
8:01:17PM F.D.O.T. DENIED THEM ACCESS ONTO NEBRASKA, SO THEY ARE
8:01:24PM ELECTING TO HAVE THE ONLY ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY OFF OF EAST
8:01:28PM NORTH STREET.
8:01:30PM BECAUSE THEY ARE IN THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 LAND USE
8:01:38PM CATEGORY AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35, THEY ARE
8:01:41PM ALLOWED FLOOR-TO-AREA RATIO OF ONE STRAIGHT BY RIGHT.
8:01:49PM THEY ARE ELECTING -- THEY COULD HAVE GONE UP TO 1.5 BECAUSE
8:01:53PM THEIR SITE IS OVER .35 ACRES.
8:01:56PM THEY ARE FRONTING ARTERIAL ROAD AND VERTICALLY INTEGRATED
8:01:59PM MIX OF USES.
8:02:01PM HOWEVER, THEIR PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS UNDER THE 1.5.
8:02:07PM THEY ARE ASKING FOR A 1.33 FLOOR TO AREA RATIO.
8:02:11PM THERE ARE THREE WAIVERS REQUESTED.
8:02:16PM THE SITE IS 1.97 ACRES.
8:02:18PM AGAIN, BECAUSE THE SITE IS OVER AN ACRE, YOU'RE REQUIRED TO
8:02:22PM MAINTAIN 50% OF THE TREES.
8:02:25PM THEY ARE ASKING FOR A WAIVER TO SECTION 13454A TO REDUCE THE
8:02:31PM REQUIRED TREE PRESERVATION FOR A NON-WOODED LOT FROM 50%
8:02:35PM RETAINED TO 13% RETAINED.
8:02:39PM SIMILARLY, BECAUSE OF THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF GREENSPACE ON
8:02:46PM THE PROPERTY, THEY ARE ASKING FOR -- TO ALLOW FOR PAYMENT
8:02:50PM INTO THE TREE TRUST FUND FOR THE MITIGATION TREES.
8:02:54PM AGAIN, THEY'RE REQUIRED TO PLANT TREES AS PART OF THE
8:02:57PM DEVELOPMENT WITH SURFACE PARKING.
8:02:59PM SO THEIR STANDARD LANDSCAPING THEY HAVE TO PUT IN AND THEN
8:03:03PM THEY HAVE TO MITIGATE ALL THE TREES THEY ARE REMOVING.
8:03:06PM MITIGATE MEANS PLANTING NEW TREES.
8:03:09PM THERE'S NOT ENOUGH SPACE TO PLANT ALL THE TREES SO THEY ARE
8:03:15PM ASKING FOR THAT WAIVER TO PAY INTO THE TREE TRUST FUND
8:03:18PM MITIGATION OF TREES.
8:03:20PM THE THIRD AND FINAL WAIVER IS A TECHNICAL WAIVER.
8:03:23PM REQUIRED TO HAVE A SIX-FOOT BACKUP DISTANCE FOR THESE
8:03:26PM PARKING SPACES.
8:03:27PM THEY ONLY HAVE TWO FEET.
8:03:33PM THAT IS A TECHNICAL WAIVER REQUEST FOR BACKUP DISTANCE FROM
8:03:36PM SIX FEET TO TWO FEET IN THOSE INSTANCES.
8:03:40PM TRANSPORTATION DOES NOT HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO THAT WAIVER
8:03:42PM REQUEST.
8:03:42PM HOWEVER, OVERALL, NATURAL RESOURCES AND LAND DEVELOPMENT HAS
8:03:50PM FOUND THIS INCONSISTENT BECAUSE OF THE TREE PRESERVATION AND
8:03:54PM THE PLANTING, ALLOWING MITIGATION TO BE PAID INTO THE TREE
8:04:00PM TRUST FUND ON THE SITE.
8:04:01PM STAFF FEELS THAT ADDITIONAL EFFORTS COULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN
8:04:07PM WITH THE DESIGN OF THE SITE TO FACILITATE GREATER RETENTION
8:04:10PM OF THE EXISTING TREES.
8:04:11PM AS YOU CAN SEE, ALL OF THESE ARE EXISTING TREES THAT WILL BE
8:04:17PM REMOVED ON-SITE.
8:04:18PM IF THIS WERE TO BE APPROVED, LAND DEVELOPMENT HAS A SERIES
8:04:25PM OF CHANGES TO THE SITE PLAN, BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
8:04:30PM READING, JUST MISCELLANEOUS NOTES TO BE ADDED.
8:04:32PM URBAN DESIGN DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT, BUT THEY DO HAVE A
8:04:35PM COUPLE OF CHANGES BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
8:04:38PM BUT OVERALL WITH THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS DESIGN CODE, URBAN
8:04:40PM DESIGN TEAM DID FIND IT CONSISTENT.
8:04:43PM TRANSPORTATION JUST HAS ONE NOTE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDED.
8:04:46PM THEY FOUND IT CONSISTENT.
8:04:47PM THEN AS I SAID, NATURAL RESOURCES DID FIND IT INCONSISTENT,
8:04:51PM HOWEVER, IF YOU END UP APPROVING THIS APPLICATION, THEY DO
8:04:54PM HAVE SOME CHANGES BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING, MOSTLY
8:04:58PM HAVING TO DO WITH IDENTIFICATION OF THE TREES TO MAKE SURE
8:05:01PM THAT THE TREES ARE PROPERLY LABELED AND THE SPECIES ARE
8:05:04PM LABELED.
8:05:05PM OTHER THAN THAT, THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF
8:05:14PM DID FIND IT INCONSISTENT AGAIN BECAUSE OF NATURAL RESOURCES
8:05:17PM LAND DEVELOPMENT WITH THE WAIVER REQUESTED TO --
8:05:20PM PRESERVATION AS WELL AS NOT BEING ABLE TO MITIGATE ALL THEIR
8:05:24PM TREES ON-SITE.
8:05:25PM IF YOU APPROVE THE APPLICATION, AGAIN, I REMIND YOU TO
8:05:30PM INCLUDE THE REVISION SHEET IN YOUR MOTION.
8:05:32PM ANY QUESTIONS?
8:05:34PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?
8:05:37PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: SEEING NONE, THANK YOU.
8:05:38PM >>FRANK REDDICK: PETITIONER?
8:05:42PM >> GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
8:05:44PM AND COUNCIL, MY NAME IS JOHN GRANDOFF.
8:05:47PM MY ADDRESS IS SUITE 3700, BANK OF AMERICA PLAZA.
8:05:51PM THIS EVENING, I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF REPRESENTING MILHAUS
8:05:55PM DEVELOPMENT.
8:05:56PM I'M JOINED BY SEVERAL PROFESSIONALS WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO
8:05:59PM THIS EXCELLENT DESIGN THAT WE'RE GOING TO PRESENT TO YOU
8:06:02PM THIS EVENING.
8:06:03PM THOSE PROFESSIONALS INCLUDE JOURDAN WOODRUFF OF MILHAUS.
8:06:09PM MICHAEL MINCBERG.
8:06:13PM OUR ENGINEER IS MR. GREG ROTH.
8:06:15PM OUR ARCHITECTS, MR. JAY SILVERMAN AND DANIELLE TOWN OF DWELL
8:06:20PM ARCHITECTURE.
8:06:20PM MICHAEL YATES IS OUR TRANSPORTATION ENGINEER, AND JOE SAMNIK
8:06:26PM IS THE ARBORIST ON THE PROJECT.
8:06:29PM WE HAVE SEVERAL FOLKS WHO HAVE ARRIVED AFTER THE SWEARING
8:06:32PM IN.
8:06:33PM IF THE CLERK WOULD PLEASE SWEAR THEM IN AT THIS TIME BEFORE
8:06:35PM WE BEGIN.
8:06:36PM >>FRANK REDDICK: IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN SWORN IN, PLEASE STAND
8:06:39PM AND BE SWORN IF YOU PLAN ON SPEAKING.
8:06:41PM [OATH ADMINISTERED]
8:06:49PM >> MR. CHAIR, IF WE MAY PAUSE FOR A MOMENT, WE'D LIKE TO PUT
8:06:53PM THE ELEVATION AND THE SITE PLAN ON THIS EASEL.
8:06:55PM IT WILL JUST TAKE ONE SECOND.
8:06:57PM THIS IS AN ENLARGED COPY OF THE SITE PLAN THAT GREG ROTH HAS
8:07:16PM PREPARED WITH BOHLER ENGINEERING.
8:07:18PM I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW THINGS MARY'S PRESENTATION THIS
8:07:22PM EVENING.
8:07:23PM AS YOU CAN SEE, NEBRASKA AVENUE IS TO YOUR LEFT.
8:07:26PM NORTH STREET IS ON THE NORTH, AND FERN IS ON THE SOUTH.
8:07:30PM A FEW THINGS I WANT TO POINT OUT IS THE RETENTION WILL BE
8:07:34PM VAULTED ON THE PROJECT.
8:07:35PM AND ALSO THE GREENSPACE, VEHICULAR USE GREENSPACE, WHICH IS
8:07:42PM ANOTHER TERM FOR GREENSPACE FOR THE PARKING, WILL BE 6,985
8:07:49PM SQUARE FEET, WHICH IS 20% OF THE SITE.
8:07:51PM IS REQUIRED.
8:07:53PM 6900.
8:07:54PM WE'RE PROVIDING 7,090 SQUARE FEET OF GREENSPACE AT 21% OF
8:08:01PM THE SITE, AS REQUIRED BY THE CODE.
8:08:04PM WE'RE EXCEEDING CODE AT THAT POINT.
8:08:06PM WE'RE COMPLYING WITH PARKING, SO TO BE COMPLIANT WITH
8:08:13PM PARKING AND EXCEEDING GREENSPACE IS QUITE A FEAT.
8:08:17PM WE'RE SAVING THE GRAND TREES ON THE PROJECT WHICH GREG WILL
8:08:21PM POINT OUT WHEN HE DOES HIS BRIEF PRESENTATION.
8:08:23PM WE'RE PAYING THE TRANSPORTATION MITIGATION FEE, AND THESE
8:08:30PM WAIVERS ARE MINOR, CONSIDERING THE SITE CONSTRICTIONS AND
8:08:35PM WHAT WE'VE LAID OUT ON THE PROJECT.
8:08:38PM GREG, IF YOU'D COME FORWARD AND POINT OUT A FEW POINTS ON
8:08:41PM THE PROJECT.
8:08:42PM DO WE HAVE THE HANDHELD?
8:08:52PM >> FOR THE RECORD, GREGORY ROTH WITH BOHLER ENGINEERING.
8:08:54PM ADDRESS IS 3820 NORTHDALE BOULEVARD.
8:08:58PM AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.
8:09:00PM THE CIVIL ENGINEER ON THE PROJECT, MARY ALREADY DID A
8:09:03PM PHENOMENAL JOB AND MR. GRANDOFF SUMMED IT UP.
8:09:06PM THEY HAVE PRETTY MUCH DONE MY JOB FOR ME.
8:09:08PM WE'LL DO A WALK-AROUND OF THE SITE TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE
8:09:11PM DESIGN CONSTRAINTS WE HAD.
8:09:14PM NUMBER ONE WAS BUILDING PLACEMENT.
8:09:15PM WITHIN THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS DISTRICT WE ARE REQUIRED TO
8:09:18PM BUILD UP TO THE ROADWAY.
8:09:19PM THIS PROPERTY HAS THREE RIGHT-OF-WAYS ON THREE OF THE SIDES
8:09:23PM THEY ARE ADJACENT TO.
8:09:24PM SO WE HAVE A 10-FOOT BUILD TO ZONE THAT A MINIMUM PERCENTAGE
8:09:29PM OF THE BUILDING HAS TO ABIDE BY TO BUILD UP TO THAT.
8:09:32PM THAT REQUIRES THE BUILDING ALL THE WAY TO THE WEST AGAINST
8:09:35PM NEBRASKA AVENUE.
8:09:36PM AS MARY HAS MENTIONED, AFTER MEETING WITH F.D.O.T. AND CITY
8:09:39PM OF TAMPA TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT, FOUND THAT THE ACCESS TO
8:09:43PM NORTH STREET WAS GOING TO BE OUR PRIMARY ACCESS POINT.
8:09:47PM THE ONLY ACCESS POINT THIS SITE WOULD RECEIVE.
8:09:50PM TYPICALLY ON A PROPERTY WHERE WE ARE BOUND BY THREE
8:09:52PM RIGHT-OF-WAYS WE DON'T HAVE ACCESS ISSUES.
8:09:55PM THIS HAS BECOME THAT ONE SITE THAT DOES HAVE THAT.
8:09:58PM ONE OF THE OTHER FOCAL POINTS OF THE PROJECT IS THE GRAND
8:10:03PM TREE IN THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY.
8:10:05PM IT IS A CHALLENGE TO DESIGN TO MAINTAIN THAT, BUT AFTER
8:10:08PM MEETING ON-SITE WITH THE NATURAL RESOURCES DEPARTMENT ON TWO
8:10:12PM SEPARATE OCCASIONS AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF
8:10:15PM COORDINATION WITH LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT CONSULTANTS AND
8:10:18PM ARBORIST CONSULTANTS WE HAVE FOUND AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE
8:10:21PM TO SAVE THAT.
8:10:23PM [NO ENCODER]
8:10:45PM [NO ENCODER]
8:11:02PM [NO ENCODER]
8:11:03PM -- PROVIDES THE ENHANCED BUFFER FROM THE RESIDENTIAL TO THE
8:11:06PM EAST.
8:11:06PM AS NOTED, WE ARE MEETING THE PARKING CODE AND VUA
8:11:11PM GREENSPACE.
8:11:12PM AND WE DO HAVE A LOADING ZONE WHICH WILL PROVIDE ACCESS FOR
8:11:17PM LOADING, UNLOADING, FOR MOVE-INS AS WELL AS DELIVERIES.
8:11:20PM THAT'S IN A NUTSHELL.
8:11:23PM WE'RE HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
8:11:24PM AND I'LL TURN IT OVER TO JAY SILVERMAN TO TALK ABOUT THE
8:11:28PM PRETTY PART OF THE SITE, THE BUILDING.
8:11:31PM >> THANK YOU, GREG.
8:11:32PM GOOD EVENING.
8:11:33PM JAY SILVERMAN, DWELL DESIGN STUDIO.
8:11:36PM 3655 BROOKSIDE PARKWAY, ATLANTA, 30022.
8:11:40PM I'LL JUST BRIEFLY DESCRIBE OUR DESIGN APPROACH.
8:11:45PM WE ORIENTED THE DEVELOPMENT TOWARD THE SURROUNDING STREETS.
8:11:50PM IT'S A FOUR-STORY MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT.
8:11:54PM AND THE DEVELOPMENT IS DESIGNED SO THAT THE MASS OF THE
8:11:59PM DEVELOPMENT IS FACING THE BUSY STREET AND THE DEVELOPMENT
8:12:02PM TAPERS OFF TOWARDS THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE BACK.
8:12:05PM WE DEVELOPED A PEDESTRIAN-ORIENTED DESIGN WITH COMMERCIAL
8:12:11PM SPACE, THE RESIDENTIAL LEASING OFFICE AMENITY ON THE NORTH,
8:12:17PM NORTHWEST CORNER, NORTH OF NEBRASKA AND THEN OFFICE SPACE ON
8:12:20PM THE SOUTHWEST CORNER, FERN AND NEBRASKA.
8:12:23PM AND THEN ACTUALLY STEPPED THE MASS OF THE BUILDING BACK TO
8:12:28PM CREATE A COURTYARD SPACE ON NEBRASKA, RESPONDING TO THE BUSY
8:12:34PM CHARACTER OF NEBRASKA STREET AND CREATING A COURTYARD THAT'S
8:12:37PM INSPIRED BY 1930s RESIDENTIAL WALK-UP BUILDINGS AND
8:12:42PM CREATES PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY STOOP AND STREETSCAPE ON THAT
8:12:46PM STREET AS WELL AS RESIDENT PORCHES ON BOTH OF THE SIDE
8:12:52PM STREETS.
8:12:52PM THE DESIGN OF THE BUILDING IS TO REFLECT THE EMERGING NATURE
8:12:56PM OF NEBRASKA.
8:12:59PM IT'S GOT A CONTEMPORARY EXPRESSION THAT RESPONDS TO THE
8:13:04PM COMMERCIAL NATURE OF NEBRASKA.
8:13:05PM BUT WE ACTUALLY TOOK TRADITIONAL MATERIALS LIKE SIDING AND
8:13:09PM MASONRY AND WOOD AND USED THEM IN AN INNOVATIVE WAY TO GIVE
8:13:14PM THE BUILDING A CONTEMPORARY EXPRESSION RATHER THAN TRYING TO
8:13:18PM MIMIC THE TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURE OF THE HISTORIC
8:13:21PM NEIGHBORHOOD BEHIND THE SITE.
8:13:23PM THAT'S OUR GENERAL DIRECTION.
8:13:27PM THE MIX OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS IS PRIMARILY ONE BEDROOM AND
8:13:32PM STUDIO APARTMENTS.
8:13:34PM IT'S ABOUT 75% STUDIOS AND ONE-BEDROOMS.
8:13:39PM AND SO THAT AIDS WITH ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THE PARKING.
8:13:45PM AND AS YOU HEARD, THE PARKING MEETS THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS.
8:13:49PM LIKE I SAID, WE TRY TO DO AS FAR AS COLOR PALETTE, WE WERE
8:13:54PM LOOKING AT CLEAN, CONTEMPORARY BUT A WARM PALETTE,
8:13:57PM INTRODUCING LIKE I SAID, SOFT MATERIALS LIKE THE WOOD TO
8:14:01PM MAKE THE BUILDING DESIGN FRIENDLY.
8:14:03PM THANK YOU.
8:14:10PM >> I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE JOURDAN WOODRUFF WITH MILHAUS
8:14:15PM DEVELOPMENT.
8:14:17PM >> HI.
8:14:18PM GOOD EVENING.
8:14:18PM JOURDAN WOODRUFF, WITH MILHAUS AND THE DEVELOPER OF THE
8:14:24PM PROJECT.
8:14:25PM I WANT TO FINISH THIS UP QUICKLY BY SAYING WE'RE EXCITED TO
8:14:28PM INVEST IN NEBRASKA AVENUE.
8:14:30PM WE HAVE A PROJECT ON FLORIDA AVENUE ABOUT A HALF A MILE
8:14:35PM AWAY, HITE, WHICH ACTUALLY JUST OPENED A FEW WEEKS AGO.
8:14:40PM IT IS GOING REALLY WELL.
8:14:41PM WE'RE EXCITED TO BRING SOME ACTIVITY AND INVESTMENT TO
8:14:44PM NEBRASKA AVENUE, ESPECIALLY TO AN UNDERUTILIZED SITE.
8:14:48PM OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS, I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH
8:14:50PM NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS AND TALKING WITH THEM.
8:14:54PM WE HAD A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING ON DECEMBER 12th, AND WE'RE
8:14:57PM EXCITED TO BE -- HAVE OUR SECOND PROJECT IN SEMINOLE
8:15:01PM HEIGHTS.
8:15:02PM THE FINAL THING THAT I JUST WANTED TO MENTION IS THAT THE
8:15:06PM PLAN IS TO START CONSTRUCTION THIS SUMMER AND THEN IT WOULD
8:15:08PM BE ABOUT A 15-MONTH CONSTRUCTION PERIOD.
8:15:12PM SO THANK YOU.
8:15:25PM >> WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL LETTERS OF SUPPORT SOLICITED FROM
8:15:31PM CITIZENS.
8:15:33PM THESE WERE OBTAINED BY MICHAEL MINCBERG AND JENNIFER
8:15:37PM SCHWARTZ OF MILHAUS.
8:15:40PM I'D LIKE TO FILE THOSE INTO THE RECORD.
8:15:43PM A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANT TO MENTION IN THE PLANNING
8:15:53PM COMMISSION REPORT, WHICH I THINK IS INSTRUCTIVE,
8:15:57PM PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU HAVE A REDEVELOPMENT LIKE SEMINOLE
8:16:01PM HEIGHTS, IF YOU GO INTO THE REPORT, IT SAYS THAT THIS
8:16:07PM COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35 IS APPROPRIATE FOR INTENSIVE MEDIUM
8:16:12PM DENSITY, HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL MIXED USE.
8:16:15PM THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE DOING.
8:16:17PM THEY INCLUDE RETAIL, GENERAL COMMERCIAL, SERVICE, OFFICE AND
8:16:21PM RESIDENTIAL USES.
8:16:23PM ON PAGE 3 OF MS. MALONE'S REPORT, THEY TALK ABOUT MIXED USE
8:16:28PM CORRIDORS, AND THIS IS NEBRASKA AVENUE.
8:16:30PM AND TO GIVE YOU SOME HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF NEBRASKA
8:16:33PM AVENUE, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT ONE TIME
8:16:36PM NEBRASKA AVENUE WAS A MAIN THOROUGHFARE INTO TAMPA ALONG
8:16:40PM WITH FLORIDA AVENUE, INTERSTATE 75 WAS BUILT AND NEBRASKA
8:16:44PM AVENUE WAS VANQUISHED.
8:16:46PM IT WENT INTO URBAN BLIGHT.
8:16:49PM IT IS WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN ON NEBRASKA AVENUE FOR MANY YEARS
8:16:52PM FROM DOWNTOWN VIRTUALLY TO FOWLER AVENUE AND BEYOND.
8:16:55PM THAT WAS CAUSED BY INTERSTATE 75.
8:16:59PM WE'VE COME FULL CIRCLE.
8:17:03PM THE URBAN BLIGHT THAT WAS CREATED BY THAT IS NOW COMING
8:17:07PM BACK.
8:17:08PM THE CHILDREN OF BABY BOOMERS ARE NOW WANTING TO RETURN TO
8:17:11PM THE URBAN CORE, AND WHERE ARE THEY GOING?
8:17:15PM WHERE THERE'S AVAILABLE TRANSIT.
8:17:18PM THERE'S CLOSENESS TO THE URBAN CORE, WHERE THERE'S GOOD
8:17:23PM USES, GOOD RESTAURANTS, TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES, HARTLINE
8:17:26PM SERVES NEBRASKA AVENUE.
8:17:28PM IT'S A 40 MILES PER HOUR THOROUGHFARE REGULATED BY FLORIDA
8:17:32PM D.O.T.
8:17:33PM I SUBMIT TO YOU THAT THEY'VE COME FULL CIRCLE -- THIS
8:17:37PM NEIGHBORHOOD HAS COME FULL CIRCLE.
8:17:39PM MILHAUS SPECIALIZES IN URBAN INFILL.
8:17:42PM THIS IS WHAT THEY DO.
8:17:43PM THEY DID THE PROJECT CALLED HITE, H-I-T-E, WHICH JOURDAN
8:17:47PM MENTIONED TO YOU, ON THE CORNER OF FLORIDA AVENUE AND
8:17:49PM IDLEWILD.
8:17:49PM THAT'S COME OUT OF THE GROUND, AND IT'S LEASING UP.
8:17:52PM THIS IS THE SCENARIO.
8:17:56PM THIS IS THE HISTORIC PERSPECTIVE.
8:17:58PM THIS IS WHAT IS DICTATED BY YOUR POLICIES, PARTICULARLY
8:18:03PM 9.6.1, THE BOTTOM OF PAGE THREE THAT SAYS WE ARE TO
8:18:08PM ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT AND RETENTION OF A VARIETY OF
8:18:11PM MULTIFAMILY HOUSING TYPES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF TAMPA'S
8:18:14PM PRESENT AND FUTURE POPULATIONS.
8:18:16PM THE FINDING CONTINUES, AND IT SAYS ON 9.6.4, TO BALANCE THE
8:18:24PM OBJECTIVE TO INCREASE OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEW HOUSING
8:18:27PM DEVELOPMENT TO ENSURE ADEQUATE HOUSING FOR TAMPA'S RESIDENTS
8:18:32PM IN THE EQUALLY IMPORTANT GOAL OF ENSURING THAT THE
8:18:34PM DEVELOPMENT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER.
8:18:37PM WE HAVE DONE THAT IN THIS DESIGN.
8:18:39PM WE HAVE DONE THAT IN THIS SITE PLAN THAT WAS PREPARED BY
8:18:42PM BOHLER AND BY DWELL.
8:18:45PM IN THE STAFF ANALYSIS, THE LAST SENTENCE SAYS, "APPROVAL OF
8:18:50PM THE REQUEST WOULD ALLOW THE INFILL AND MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT
8:18:53PM ALONG ONE OF TAMPA'S MAJOR TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDORS, NORTH
8:18:57PM NEBRASKA AVENUE."
8:18:58PM AND FINALLY, THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ENCOURAGES
8:19:03PM DEVELOPMENT AND RETENTION OF DIVERSITY OF MULTIFAMILY TYPES
8:19:07PM -- HOUSING TYPES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF ITS PRESENT AND FUTURE
8:19:11PM POPULATIONS.
8:19:11PM THE APPLICANT PLANS TO DEVELOP 114 MULTIFAMILY UNITS ON THE
8:19:16PM PARCEL FURTHERING ONE OF THE PLANS MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT
8:19:22PM POLICIES.
8:19:23PM THAT IS THE OBJECTIVE.
8:19:25PM THAT IS THE VISION, THAT IS THE VISION OF SEMINOLE HEIGHTS.
8:19:29PM JORDAN'S COMPANY IS FOLLOWING THAT VISION IN BRINGING THE
8:19:33PM PROJECT TO YOU THIS EVENING.
8:19:34PM WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL.
8:19:36PM THANK YOU.
8:19:41PM >>HARRY COHEN: WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF THE WRITTEN
8:19:44PM CORRESPONDENCE ABOUT THIS PROJECT.
8:19:46PM ONE OF THE THEMES IS FROM PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY ARE IN SUPPORT
8:19:51PM OF THE PROJECT GENERALLY, BUT THEY OBJECT TO IT BEING DONE
8:19:55PM AS A PD AS OPPOSED TO WITHIN THE REGULAR ZONING PROCESS.
8:20:00PM SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT GOING FOR
8:20:06PM A PD VERSUS DOING THIS WITHIN THE REGULAR ZONING?
8:20:11PM AND I RECOGNIZE YOU HAVE A SPLIT ZONING ON THE LOT, SO THAT
8:20:15PM COMPLICATES YOUR ABILITY TO CONFORM.
8:20:19PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: IN ORDER TO ADDRESS TRANSIT ISSUES AND TO
8:20:28PM GET PEOPLE OUT OF CARS AND USING MORE MASS TRANSIT AND ONE
8:20:32PM DAY WE'LL GET TO MASS TRANSIT.
8:20:34PM THE COMP PLAN ENCOURAGES A HIGHER F.A.R. -- [NO ENCODER]
8:20:41PM [NO ENCODER]
8:21:07PM [NO ENCODER]
8:21:09PM -- AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE TWO USES, WHICH WE'RE DOING.
8:21:12PM >>HARRY COHEN: HOW MUCH DENSITY WOULD YOU LOSE IF YOU
8:21:14PM WEREN'T IN THE PD AND COULDN'T GET --
8:21:18PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: IT WOULD BE -- JOURDAN IS BETTER ON THAT.
8:21:22PM >> ONE MORE THING ABOUT THE PD, JOURDAN WOODRUFF WITH
8:21:27PM MILHAUS.
8:21:28PM OUR INTENT WAS EUCLIDEAN ZONING AND WE SUBMITTED FOR THAT
8:21:32PM ORIGINALLY.
8:21:33PM IN SPEAKING WITH NATURAL RESOURCES AND MEETING WITH THEM
8:21:36PM ON-SITE WE FOUND OUT WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO RETAIN THE 50%
8:21:39PM TREE RETENTION BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE CONFUSING OF WHAT TREES
8:21:45PM QUALIFY TOWARDS THE 50%.
8:21:47PM SO WE DID MEET WITH THEM ON-SITE TWICE.
8:21:49PM AFTER MEETING WITH THEM, WE REALIZED WE COULDN'T MEET THE
8:21:52PM 50% TREE RETENTION, AND THAT IS WHAT REQUIRED US TO DO A PD
8:21:57PM REZONING AS OPPOSED TO EUCLIDEAN.
8:21:59PM AND SO THE TREES WERE ACTUALLY THE IMPETUS FOR THE PD.
8:22:10PM >>Jennifer Malone: JENNIFER MALONE WITH THE PLANNING
8:22:11PM COMMISSION.
8:22:12PM BY RIGHT IN THE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35 FUTURE LAND USE
8:22:14PM CATEGORY AND THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE-35 FUTURE LAND USE
8:22:17PM CATEGORY YOU'RE ALLOWED A 1.0 F.A.R.
8:22:20PM TO GET THE BONUS, YOU HAVE TO DO A PD.
8:22:23PM AND THEY ARE PROPOSING I BELIEVE A 1.3.
8:22:25PM IF WE DO ASK THE QUESTION WHAT COULD YOU HAVE WITHOUT THE
8:22:30PM PD, IT WOULD BE A 1.0 F.A.R., WHICH IS REALLY JUST -- THAT'S
8:22:35PM CALCULATED THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
8:22:37PM SO IT'S -- SO IT IS HARD TO GET DENSITY AND IT IS HARD TO
8:22:41PM GET THE VERTICAL MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT UTILIZING THAT BY
8:22:45PM RIGHT F.A.R.
8:22:45PM AND THEY MEET THE REQUIREMENTS TO HAVE THAT UP TO THE 1.3
8:22:48PM BECAUSE IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN YOU HAVE TO BE ON AN
8:22:51PM ARTERIAL.
8:22:51PM YOU HAVE TO HAVE MORE THAN TWO USES AND YOUR SITE HAS TO BE
8:22:54PM 0.33 ACRES.
8:22:56PM TO UTILIZE THAT.
8:22:58PM SO NOT EVERY COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 CAN HAVE THE 1.3 WITHOUT
8:23:04PM PAYING INTO THE BONUS.
8:23:04PM THANK YOU.
8:23:09PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: MR. COHEN, THAT'S ALSO CONTAINED IN NOTE
8:23:12PM TWO ON THE SITE PLAN.
8:23:14PM AND THEN IT'S IN THE FINDINGS BY MS. SAMANIEGO IN THE MIDDLE
8:23:20PM OF PAGE 3 OF HER REPORT, YOU'LL SEE, PLEASE ADD THE
8:23:24PM FOLLOWING NOTE WHERE SHE MAKES THE FINDINGS WE HAVE
8:23:28PM SATISFIED THAT REQUIREMENT.
8:23:30PM THAT'S ALL WE HAVE.
8:23:32PM THANK YOU.
8:23:34PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON
8:23:37PM ITEM NUMBER 14?
8:23:39PM [ LAUGHTER ]
8:23:45PM >> GOOD EVENING.
8:23:45PM IAN PIERSON, HOMEOWNER AT 6205 NORTH 9th STREET.
8:23:49PM THERE ARE EXACTLY TWO HOUSES BETWEEN ME AND THE PROPOSED
8:23:52PM PROJECT.
8:23:52PM GREAT PROJECT.
8:23:53PM LOOKS COOL.
8:23:55PM NOWHERE BUT HIGHWAY 41 SHOULD BE THERE.
8:23:58PM I GREW UP IN LOWRY PARK RIGHT ACROSS THE RIVER.
8:24:00PM WHEN I MOVED BACK TO TAMPA FROM ATLANTA AND CHICAGO, I
8:24:03PM WANTED TO BE ON U.S. HIGHWAY 41.
8:24:05PM THIS IS PEACH TREE ROAD IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA, LAKESHORE DRIVE
8:24:09PM IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
8:24:11PM I LIVED TWO BLOCKS OFF OF THOSE STREETS IN THOSE CITIES.
8:24:14PM AND I CHOSE TO LIVE ONE BLOCK OFF U.S. HIGHWAY 41.
8:24:18PM I LOVE TALKING WITH PUBLIX.
8:24:20PM ANOTHER REASON I CHOSE HIGHWAY 41 IS BECAUSE OF THE EXPRESS
8:24:24PM BUS ROUTE.
8:24:25PM I HAVE A STACK OF BUS PASSES IN MY DESK WAITING TO BE USED.
8:24:28PM MY HUSBAND WORKS OUT OF HIDDEN RIVER.
8:24:30PM SO THE EXPRESS BUS CAN DROP HIM OFF AT HIS FRONT DOOR THERE.
8:24:34PM HE'S NEVER TAKEN THE BUS ONE TIME.
8:24:36PM SO I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF WE LET GO OF THIS MYTH OF PEOPLE
8:24:41PM USING PUBLIC TRANSIT IN TAMPA.
8:24:43PM I'M A MILLENNIAL.
8:24:45PM I WANT TO USE IT.
8:24:46PM I USE IT AS MUCH AS I CAN BUT IT'S JUST NOT HAPPENING AND I
8:24:50PM DON'T THINK IT WILL HAPPEN TO THE EXTENT THAT WE'VE DESIGNED
8:24:52PM IN WITH THESE MOTORCYCLES AND THESE BICYCLE SPOTS TO
8:24:55PM COMPENSATE FOR PARKING.
8:24:56PM SO THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
8:24:57PM I THINK THAT THEY ARE SETTING UP OUR NEIGHBORHOOD FOR
8:25:00PM FAILURE.
8:25:00PM I WANT TO BE ALONG THIS ARTERY.
8:25:02PM I WANT TO HAVE DENSITY, BUT I ALSO WANT MY NEIGHBORHOOD NOT
8:25:06PM TO BE OVERWHELMED WITH CARS.
8:25:07PM I DON'T APPRECIATE PEOPLE COMING AND SAYING, YOU KNOW, HOW
8:25:10PM GREAT THIS IS GOING TO BE FOR MY NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE I LIKE
8:25:17PM MY NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU KNOW.
8:25:17PM BUT I WANT PROGRESS, BUT I DON'T WANT PROGRESS FOR PROGRESS
8:25:19PM SAKE.
8:25:19PM ALSO, DURING OUR MEETING WITH OSHNA, JOURDAN MADE IT CLEAR
8:25:26PM THAT THERE WERE ONLY TWO WAIVERS.
8:25:27PM SHE SAID IT MANY TIMES -- ONLY TWO WAIVERS, ONLY TWO
8:25:27PM WAIVERS.
8:25:28PM NOW WE'RE HEARING ABOUT THREE WAIVERS, SO MAYBE THAT CAN BE
8:25:28PM FLESHED OUT AND MADE MORE CLEAR TO US.
8:25:31PM BUT THESE FOLKS ARE THE EXPERTS IN WHAT THEY CALL TWO TIER
8:25:36PM CITIES.
8:25:36PM I HOPE THEY CAN HELP US UNDERSTAND THE TRUE OCCUPANCY OF THE
8:25:41PM BUILDINGS AND THEIR EXPERIENCES IN OTHER CITIES.
8:25:42PM HOW MANY UNITS ARE BEING OCCUPIED BY MORE THAN ONE RESIDENT?
8:25:46PM YOU'RE DISTRIBUTING THE PARKING PASSES FOR THESE PLACES.
8:25:48PM HOW MANY PEOPLE -- ARE YOU GOING OVER THE LIMITS YOU HAVE?
8:25:51PM YOU KEEP REPEATING HERE AND IN OUR MEETING WITH OUR
8:25:56PM NEIGHBORHOOD HOW YOU'RE WITHIN THE CODE, WITHIN THE CODE.
8:25:58PM THAT MIGHT BE TRUE, BUT IT FEELS TO US, YOUR FUTURE
8:26:01PM NEIGHBORS, THAT YOU'RE USING THAT EXCUSE TO SET YOURSELF UP
8:26:05PM TO BE A BAD NEIGHBOR TO US.
8:26:06PM IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE THAT OLDER SIBLING WHOSE PARENTS HAVE
8:26:10PM JUST TOLD THEM TO PLEASE STOP TOUCHING YOUR BROTHER, SO YOU
8:26:13PM STICK YOUR HAND IN THEIR FACE AND SAY I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU,
8:26:16PM I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU, I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU.
8:26:19PM 30 SECONDS LEFT, I DON'T KNOW, I THINK THAT WITH THE
8:26:23PM COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE THEY HAVE RIGHT NOW, DO WITH IT WHAT
8:26:26PM YOU WILL.
8:26:27PM FOR US TO CHANGE THE RULES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME WOULD
8:26:29PM BE UNFAIR BUT YOU ARE ASKING TO EXPAND INTO OUR
8:26:32PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:26:32PM ASKING TO REZONE SOMETHING.
8:26:34PM I FEEL LIKE THAT GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY.
8:26:36PM MAYBE I'M WRONG FOR COUNCIL TO ASK FOR CERTAIN CONCESSIONS.
8:26:41PM YEAH, GOOD LUCK.
8:26:42PM COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE, OH, YEAH, IF WE DIDN'T GIVE THEM THE
8:26:48PM REZONING, WHAT COULD THEY DO WITH JUST THE PROPERTY THEY
8:26:52PM HAVE?
8:26:58PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
8:26:59PM MY NAME IS TIM KEEPORTS, 404 EAST IDLEWILD AVENUE.
8:27:06PM ALSO THE PRESIDENT OF THE OLD SEMINOLE HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD
8:27:08PM ASSOCIATION.
8:27:09PM TO PREPARE FOR TONIGHT, SEVERAL OF THE UPCOMING SPEAKERS MET
8:27:12PM WITH LOCAL DEVELOPERS, A LOCAL LAND USE ATTORNEY, AND A
8:27:15PM LOCAL ARCHITECT.
8:27:16PM WE ALSO ASSISTED MILHAUS IN HOLDING THE WELL-ATTENDED
8:27:19PM NEIGHBORHOOD PUBLIC MEETING ON DECEMBER 12.
8:27:21PM WE PLACED MULTIPLE UPDATES ON-LINE TO GATHER RESIDENT AND
8:27:24PM MEMBER INPUT.
8:27:25PM WE HAVE SEVERAL OTHER FOLKS SPEAKING, SO I'LL JUST PROVIDE A
8:27:27PM SIMPLE OVERVIEW.
8:27:28PM A COPY OF THIS MATERIAL WAS PROVIDED BY COUNCILMAN
8:27:43PM MANISCALCO'S AIDE TO COUNCIL ATTORNEY SHELBY FOR
8:27:48PM DISTRIBUTION.
8:27:48PM HOPEFULLY YOU ALL HAVE A COPY IN FRONT OF YOU.
8:27:51PM I'LL LET THE OTHER SPEAKERS GET INTO GREATER DETAIL.
8:27:54PM SPECIFICALLY WE DO SUPPORT AS A NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION THE
8:27:57PM MILHAUS PROJECT, BUT WE RECOMMEND ADDITIONAL RETAIL ON THE
8:28:02PM GROUND FLOOR.
8:28:03PM THERE WERE MANY, MANY COMMENTS ABOUT THIS IS A MIXED USE
8:28:06PM DEVELOPMENT.
8:28:06PM THE REALITY IS THERE IS ONE OFFICE, 3.7% OF THE ENTIRE
8:28:11PM COMPLEX IS DEDICATED TO THAT SECOND USE OTHER THAN RESIDENTS
8:28:15PM SO 3.7% I WOULD NOT CALL MIXED USE ALTHOUGH IT IS
8:28:20PM ACKNOWLEDGED AS SUCH.
8:28:21PM WE WOULD ALSO REQUEST ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING OR ENHANCED
8:28:25PM LANDSCAPING THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FOOTPRINT OF THE PROPERTY,
8:28:29PM AND THEN WE WOULD LIKE THE PROPERTY TO BE ZONED SH-CI.
8:28:33PM THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS OVERLAY, CURRENTLY CI AT THE FRONT OF
8:28:37PM THE PROPERTY.
8:28:38PM AT THE BACK IT'S RESIDENTIAL, RS.
8:28:40PM OUR RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE BACK PIECE BE SH-CI, THAT WAY
8:28:45PM THE ENTIRE PROJECT IS NOT A PD WHICH ALLOWS A LOT OF THE
8:28:48PM WAIVERS TO BE IGNORED AND GO FOR CI AND THEN HAVE MILHAUS
8:28:52PM COME BACK TO THE STAFF AND WORK THROUGH THE WAIVER PROCESS.
8:28:56PM WE WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF THE TREES, THE MAJORITY OF THE
8:29:00PM TREES ON THE PROJECT ARE INVASIVE SPECIES.
8:29:03PM SO OUR FEELING IS AS A NEIGHBORHOOD WE WOULD BE WILLING TO
8:29:06PM WORK WITH MILHAUS BUT WE'D LIKE TO STICK WITH THE CI WHICH
8:29:10PM IS ALREADY IN THE 2040 VISION PLAN AS ADOPTED BY CITY
8:29:13PM COUNCIL ON JANUARY 7, 2016.
8:29:15PM I'D ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT ANOTHER SUGGESTION TO PREVENT THE
8:29:21PM 112 RESIDENTS THAT WOULD BE MOVING INTO THIS APARTMENT
8:29:24PM COMPLEX FROM COMING INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WE DID GO DOOR TO
8:29:27PM DOOR.
8:29:28PM THESE ARE THE ADDRESSES.
8:29:29PM WE POLLED THESE RESIDENTS, AND WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT FERN
8:29:32PM STREET BE CLOSED, THAT THE ENTRY AND EXIT OF THE PROPERTY BE
8:29:37PM MOVED FROM NORTH STREET TO FERN STREET AND CLOSED AT THE RED
8:29:42PM LINE THERE.
8:29:43PM THIS WAY IT WOULD ALLOW THE APARTMENT RESIDENTS TO COME IN
8:29:46PM AND OUT OFF NEBRASKA.
8:29:47PM IT WOULD PREVENT THOSE APARTMENT DWELLERS FROM GOING INTO
8:29:51PM THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND TRYING TO PARK ALONG THE STREET.
8:29:54PM AGAIN, WE TRIED TO GET A GOOD SAMPLING OF THE RESIDENTS.
8:29:58PM 100% OF THOSE POLLED WERE IN FAVOR OF CLOSING 9th STREET
8:30:02PM TO BUFFER THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:30:03PM THANK YOU.
8:30:06PM >> HI.
8:30:13PM LYNN HURTAK.
8:30:15PM 5914 NORTH TAMPA STREET.
8:30:17PM I AM THE LAND USE CHAIR FOR OLD SEMINOLE HEIGHTS
8:30:21PM NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AND A TRUSTEE ON THE BOARD.
8:30:23PM WE OPPOSE THE PROJECT, THE PD PORTION OF THE PROJECT BECAUSE
8:30:27PM IT ALLOWS MILHAUS TO CIRCUMVENT TOO MANY REQUIREMENTS OF THE
8:30:31PM ACCEPTED SEMINOLE HEIGHTS COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE DISTRICT.
8:30:34PM IT'S A WORKABLE ZONING FOR THE PROJECT.
8:30:36PM IF IT IS ALLOWED, IT WILL SET A NEGATIVE PRECEDENCE WHILE
8:30:39PM DIMINISHING THE INTENT AND THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE
8:30:42PM PREVALENT CODE.
8:30:43PM TAMPA CITY CODE IS A SET OF RULES BY WHICH WE COLLECTIVELY
8:30:47PM AGREE TO FOLLOW AS RESIDENTS AND BUSINESS OWNERS OF THE
8:30:49PM CITY.
8:30:50PM THE TAMPA CITY CODE IS ESTABLISHED UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF
8:30:52PM THE CITY COUNCIL AND IT IS COUNCIL'S RESPONSIBILITY TO
8:30:54PM ENSURE THE ENFORCEMENT OF THAT CODE FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD.
8:30:57PM WHEN CONSIDERING WHETHER TO CIRCUMVENT ESTABLISHED RULES IN
8:31:01PM THE CITY CODE, A STRONG ARGUMENT MUST BE MADE THAT THE
8:31:05PM CIRCUMVENTION WOULD BE FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CITY
8:31:08PM RESIDENTS.
8:31:09PM IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE, NO SUCH ARGUMENT EXISTS.
8:31:13PM EVERYTHING THE DEVELOPER WISHES TO DO CAN BE DONE THROUGH A
8:31:16PM CI ZONING WHICH MATCHES THE FRONT PROPERTY'S CURRENT ZONING.
8:31:20PM WE WOULD ALSO AGAIN BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH THEM THROUGH
8:31:22PM WAIVERS.
8:31:23PM WE SUPPORT SEVERAL OF THEM, LIKE THE GARBAGE TREES, THINGS
8:31:26PM LIKE THAT.
8:31:26PM BUT THE CI DESIGNATION ALSO DOES REQUIRE THREE USES.
8:31:32PM AND THEY ONLY WANT TO PUT A REALLY SMALL 1200-SQUARE-FOOT
8:31:36PM OFFICE.
8:31:36PM SO IN ORDER TO BENEFIT OR TO GET THAT CI, THEY NEED TO ADD
8:31:41PM THREE USES.
8:31:41PM SO MAYBE A RESTAURANT OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE.
8:31:44PM AND THAT'S WHAT I FEEL IS THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE.
8:31:51PM AGAIN, I COULD BE WRONG.
8:31:53PM BUT 3.7% OF THE ENTIRE TWO-ACRE PARCEL FOR BUSINESS USE IS
8:32:00PM NOT A MIXED USE PROJECT.
8:32:08PM >> I HAVE A SPEAKER WAIVER FOR ONE MINUTE.
8:32:16PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: LAWRENCE MORRISON, IF YOU RAISE YOUR HAND.
8:32:18PM ONE ADDITIONAL MINUTE FOR MR. FIFER.
8:32:21PM >> RICK FIFER, 1408 EAST HANNA.
8:32:24PM I LIVE LESS THAN A TEN-MINUTE WALK FROM THE SITE.
8:32:28PM AND REAL ESTATE OFFICE ON NEBRASKA.
8:32:30PM MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, FOR YEARS, MANY OF US IN SEMINOLE
8:32:33PM HEIGHTS SPEND COUNTLESS HOURS ON THE VISION PLAN OF FORMED
8:32:37PM BASE ZONING.
8:32:37PM THERE WERE AREAS WHERE THE CITY STAFF PROPOSED CHANGES ON
8:32:40PM SOME RESIDENTIAL PARCELS THAT WOULD MOVE TO A MORE
8:32:43PM INTENSIFIED USE.
8:32:44PM THE NEIGHBORHOOD OPPOSED EVERY ONE OF THEM.
8:32:48PM FOR MORE THAN TO QUARTER CENTURY -- I FEEL OLD THESE DAYS --
8:32:53PM I'VE BEEN COMING BEFORE YOU AND YOUR PREDECESSORS TO
8:32:56PM ADVOCATE, PROTECT OR ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN SEMINOLE
8:32:57PM HEIGHTS.
8:32:58PM WE HAVE A LOT OF CHANGES TO SEMINOLE HEIGHTS.
8:33:00PM A LOT THAT HAS BEEN CLUSTERED ON FLORIDA AVENUE IN THE
8:33:03PM VICINITY OF THE FIRST MILHAUS PROJECT, THE CITY IS REPEATING
8:33:06PM THE SAME MISTAKES THAT IT HAS MADE IN OTHER PARTS OF THE
8:33:11PM CITY.
8:33:11PM AT THIS POINT, THE APPROVED DEVELOPMENTS, BUSINESSES AND
8:33:14PM LOCATIONS HAS A REAL-WORLD PARKING DEFICIT OF ABOUT 200
8:33:18PM PARKING SPACES.
8:33:20PM TONIGHT, MILHAUS IS LOOKING TO REZONE THE TWO RESIDENTIAL
8:33:23PM PARCELS TO A PD.
8:33:25PM SOME SAY THAT THE PARCEL SHOULD BE REZONED TO SH-CI.
8:33:30PM FOR THIS PROJECT TO FORCE CONFORMITY TO THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS
8:33:33PM PLAN, MY FOCUS TONIGHT IS A COMPROMISE TO THE TRAFFIC AND
8:33:36PM PARKING FICTION BEING OFFERED FOR THIS PROJECT.
8:33:41PM THE NEIGHBORHOOD MUST LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD.
8:33:43PM 114 SPACES FOR 112 APARTMENTS IS FICTION.
8:33:46PM IN FACT, JUST A WEEK AGO THIS BODY APPROVED A PROJECT NOT
8:33:51PM SITUATED IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD OF SINGLE-FAMILY THAT WAS NOT
8:33:55PM SITUATED IN A NEIGHBORHOOD OF SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES THAT HAD
8:33:58PM 1.5 PARKING SPACES PER UNIT.
8:34:01PM THIS IS AT 1.01.
8:34:04PM THE NEIGHBORHOOD AROUND THERE WILL BEAR THE BURDEN.
8:34:08PM I'VE WALKED NORTH STREET.
8:34:09PM I'VE WALKED FERN.
8:34:10PM I'VE WALKED 9th.
8:34:12PM I'VE WALKED TALKING TO NEIGHBORS.
8:34:14PM I WENT ON FERN WITH TIM, WHO SPOKE EARLIER.
8:34:17PM OUR STREETS ARE NARROW.
8:34:18PM THEY LACK CURBS.
8:34:20PM AND THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO GIVE US THE CURBS ON
8:34:23PM THOSE STREETS.
8:34:24PM WE HAVE TO LIVE THERE.
8:34:25PM I'M PROPOSING THE CLOSURE, WHICH TIM HAD MENTIONED EARLIER,
8:34:34PM ABOUT CLOSING 9th STREET AT FERN.
8:34:36PM HOW DO YOU MAKE THIS THING WORK?
8:34:39PM HAD VIRTUALLY UNIVERSAL SUPPORT AMONGST EVERYBODY.
8:34:44PM IT TAKES THE TRAFFIC OFF OF NORTH STREET, WHICH IF TRAFFIC
8:34:48PM BACKS UP ON NORTH STREET GOING OUT TO NEBRASKA THEY'LL START
8:34:51PM CUTTING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:34:52PM WE HAVE ELDERLY FOLKS, FOLKS WITH CHILDREN, THEY CANNOT USE
8:34:58PM A SIDEWALK BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY AND THE STREETS ARE
8:35:01PM NARROW.
8:35:02PM I HAD SPOKEN WITH JOURDAN FROM MILHAUS ABOUT THIS, AND I
8:35:05PM HAVE AN E-MAIL FOR HER THAT I'LL SUBMIT SO THAT I'M NOT
8:35:09PM TALKING OUT OF TURN THAT SAID THEY WOULD NOT OPPOSE THAT,
8:35:12PM BUT THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE SOMETHING THAT THE CITY WOULD HAVE
8:35:15PM TO APPROVE.
8:35:16PM WE ARE ACTUALLY ASKING THAT -- TO MAKE THIS AS MUCH OF A
8:35:25PM WIN-WIN FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BECAUSE I'M HAPPY THAT THEY
8:35:27PM ARE COMING IN TO DEVELOP THE AREA, THAT THIS BE CLOSED AND
8:35:31PM THAT MAYBE THIS BE CONTINUED UNTIL CITY TRANSPORTATION CAN
8:35:36PM EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF OUR REQUEST THAT FERN BE CLOSED.
8:35:40PM IT WILL AFFECT NOBODY'S DRIVEWAY.
8:35:43PM AND AT THIS POINT, THAT ONE BLOCK SECTION OF FERN VIRTUALLY
8:35:48PM HAS NO TRAFFIC ON IT.
8:35:50PM SO I WOULD ASK FOR A DELAY FOR THAT AND MOVE THE ENTRANCE TO
8:35:57PM FERN TAKING IT OFF OF NORTH STREET.
8:35:59PM THAT ACTUALLY I THINK WOULD MAKE IT EASIER TO PROTECT THE
8:36:02PM GRAND TREE THAT WAS ALSO A PART OF THE DISCUSSION.
8:36:04PM THANK YOU.
8:36:11PM >> GOOD EVENING.
8:36:11PM PATRICK THORPE, ALLEGEDLY.
8:36:14PM 1013 EAST JEAN STREET.
8:36:17PM I FOUND A COUPLE OF THE COMMENTS MADE THIS EVENING A LITTLE
8:36:20PM BIT MISLEADING ABOUT THE MIXED USE NATURE OF THIS PROJECT.
8:36:23PM IT'S BEEN STATED ALREADY THAT THERE'S MINIMAL OFFICE SPACE
8:36:30PM BEING PROVIDED.
8:36:30PM ONE OF THE BIGGER THINGS IS MR. GRANDOFF STATED THERE'S
8:36:33PM HORIZONTAL MIXED USE IN THIS DEVELOPMENT AND THERE'S VERY
8:36:36PM LITTLE HORIZONTAL MIXED USE -- [NO ENCODER]
8:36:42PM [NO ENCODER]
8:37:02PM [NO ENCODER]
8:37:04PM -- THE MIXED USE GUIDE MOVING FORWARD.
8:37:07PM IF THE PROPERTY DID ACTUALLY HAVE THREE USES, AS THEY STATED
8:37:11PM THAT THERE'S ONLY TWO CURRENTLY, THEN THE CURRENT ZONING
8:37:14PM CODE WOULD ACTUALLY ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL PARKING OFFSETS.
8:37:19PM IT'S CURIOUS TO ME WHY THAT WAS NOT CONSIDERED.
8:37:22PM AND IF IT'S JUST OVER THE F.A.R., THEN I THINK SOME MORE
8:37:26PM SCRUTINY SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THIS PROJECT.
8:37:28PM THANK YOU.
8:37:30PM >> HI.
8:37:31PM RALPH BARBONE, WEST RIO VISTA COURT.
8:37:34PM I LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:37:35PM I'M A MEMBER OF OSHNA.
8:37:38PM I DID SEND AN E-MAIL TO ALL OF YOU BUT I CHANGED THE WORLD
8:37:41PM BECAUSE I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THE PROJECT.
8:37:43PM HAVING GROWN UP IN TAMPA AND LIVED IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS FOR
8:37:46PM TEN YEARS, WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT A COMPANY LIKE
8:37:53PM MILHAUS WOULD INVEST OVER $10 MILLION INTO A PROJECT ON
8:37:56PM NEBRASKA AVENUE, ESPECIALLY THAT LAYER OF NEBRASKA AVENUE.
8:37:59PM ONE COMPANY THAT COMES INTO TOWN.
8:38:00PM THEY FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES.
8:38:01PM THEY'VE LOOKED AT THE VISION PLAN.
8:38:03PM THEY'VE GONE BY THE GUIDELINES AND THAT IS -- AND CI, BY THE
8:38:07PM WAY, IS A COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE USE.
8:38:08PM THAT'S WHY THERE ARE CAR LOTS ALL ALONG NEBRASKA AVENUE,
8:38:12PM BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE USE.
8:38:15PM THAT IS WHY PEOPLE WILL BRING RESTAURANTS AND RETAIL INTO
8:38:18PM THE AREA.
8:38:18PM THERE WAS OPPOSITION TO THEIR PROJECT ON FLORIDA AVENUE.
8:38:22PM A LOT OF THE NEIGHBORS WERE SAYING THE TRAFFIC WOULD BE
8:38:24PM TERRIBLE.
8:38:24PM A LOT OF NEIGHBORS SAY, OH, IT WON'T DO ANYTHING FOR THE
8:38:28PM HOME VALUES.
8:38:28PM A LOT OF NEIGHBORS SAID, OH, IT WON'T BRING RESTAURANTS.
8:38:31PM YOU CAN WALK AROUND ON FLORIDA AVENUE, AND I DO ALL THE
8:38:34PM TIME.
8:38:34PM I RIDE MY SCOOTER.
8:38:36PM I EVEN GET IN MY CAR ON THE WEEKENDS, AND I'M ABLE TO GO TO
8:38:44PM BODEGA, MADISON HEIGHTS, I'M ABLE TO GO THE FRONT PORCH AND
8:38:46PM ALL THE OTHER PLACES THAT ARE COMING INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:38:48PM I'D LOVE TO SEE THE SAME THING HAPPENING ALONG NEBRASKA
8:38:50PM AVENUE.
8:38:51PM RIGHT NOW YOU'VE GOT NO TELL MOTELS AND CAR LOTS.
8:38:53PM AND THAT LOT RIGHT NOW IS A VACANT LOT.
8:38:55PM IT DOESN'T HAVE DRAINAGE.
8:38:56PM IT DRAINS TO THE BACK PROPERTY IN THE BACK.
8:38:58PM THERE'S 117 TRASH TREES.
8:39:01PM A FEW OAK TREES THAT HAVE LIVED THROUGH THE DAMAGE.
8:39:07PM FRANKLY, I THINK THEY'VE DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO ATTAIN
8:39:09PM THAT.
8:39:10PM NOW IF THEY COULD I'M SURE THEY WOULD PUT RETAIL.
8:39:15PM BUT THE REALITY IS YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE DENSITY AND THE
8:39:18PM ABILITY FOR PEOPLE TO COME ENJOY THAT RETAIL.
8:39:20PM THEY ARE PUTTING A RETAIL SPACE IN THERE THAT'S REQUIRED
8:39:24PM THAT MEETS THE GUIDELINES.
8:39:25PM THEY ARE DOING EVERYTHING WITHIN THE CODES AND THE
8:39:27PM GUIDELINES THAT WE'VE GIVEN TO THEM.
8:39:30PM I DON'T SEE WHY WE WOULD BE OPPOSING THIS PROJECT THAT
8:39:33PM LITERALLY IS GOING TO CHANGE THE FACE OF NEBRASKA AVENUE
8:39:37PM NORTH OF HANNA AVENUE.
8:39:39PM AND ANY OF YOU CAN GO RIGHT NOW AND DRIVE DOWN THE STREET
8:39:46PM AND SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
8:39:48PM I STRONGLY ASK THAT YOU APPROVE THIS.
8:39:49PM I VOTED FOR MOST OF YOU.
8:39:51PM I JUST BELIEVE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO GIVE
8:39:55PM -- THESE GUYS ARE PUTTING THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTH IS.
8:39:58PM THEY ALREADY INVESTED OVER $10 MILLION ON FLORIDA AVENUE AND
8:40:02PM SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE.
8:40:03PM THEY'LL INVEST ANOTHER $10 MILLION ON NEBRASKA AVENUE.
8:40:06PM I'LL GUARANTEE YOU'LL SEE THE SAME THING THERE.
8:40:08PM THANK YOU.
8:40:11PM >> HI.
8:40:12PM ANGIE BRITTAIN WITH THE EVA CLAIRE CORPORATION.
8:40:15PM 6401 NORTH NEBRASKA AVENUE.
8:40:17PM I OWN THE PROPERTY IMMEDIATELY TO THE NORTH OF THIS PROPERTY
8:40:22PM AND THE ONLY THING THAT I OBJECT ABOUT THIS PROJECT IS THAT
8:40:25PM IT WAS PUT LAST ON YOUR DOCKET THIS EVENING.
8:40:28PM OTHER THAN THAT, I'M VERY MUCH IN SUPPORT OF THE PROJECT.
8:40:31PM EVERY DAY I LOOK ACROSS A SEA OF ASPHALT THAT IS MY
8:40:41PM NEIGHBOR.
8:40:43PM TO SEE THE VITALITY THIS WILL BRING TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS
8:40:45PM VERY, VERY EXCITING.
8:40:46PM I'M A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER.
8:40:48PM I'VE HAD TO COMPLY WITH A LOT OF THE REGULATIONS OF THE CITY
8:40:53PM AND ZONING THAT WAS UNFORESEEN TO ME, INCLUDING WIDENING MY
8:40:58PM SIDEWALK ON NEBRASKA TO 10 FEET.
8:41:01PM AND I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT HAVING PROFESSIONALS AND
8:41:04PM MILLENNIALS WALK ON THAT SIDEWALK RATHER THAN THE
8:41:07PM PROSTITUTES AND THE DRUG DEALERS.
8:41:10PM SO I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU WILL SUPPORT THIS PROJECT AS WELL.
8:41:14PM THANK YOU.
8:41:22PM >> DOYLE WELLMAN.
8:41:24PM 1028 FERN.
8:41:27PM PLEASURE OF MEETING TIM AND RICK THE OTHER EVENING.
8:41:30PM I THINK MY WIFE AND MYSELF WE COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND AND
8:41:36PM SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA.
8:41:37PM WE HAVE SEEN WHAT THEY HAVE DONE ON FLORIDA, AND IT'S
8:41:42PM FANTASTIC, PUSHING OUT SOME OF THE OTHER BUSINESSES THAT
8:41:44PM AREN'T SO DESIRABLE.
8:41:45PM I THINK OUR GREATEST CONCERN WITH THE CHANGES THAT ARE
8:41:49PM HAPPENING IN THAT AREA AND IN OUR COMMUNITY IS THE FLOW OF
8:41:56PM TRAFFIC.
8:41:56PM WE WALK OUR DOGS ON THE STREET.
8:42:00PM THERE IS A GENTLEMAN A FEW HOUSES DOWN, A GUIDE DOG, WE HAVE
8:42:05PM NO SIDEWALKS.
8:42:05PM THERE'S CONSTANT YOUNG FAMILIES, BICYCLES.
8:42:09PM NO MEANS PEDESTRIANS CAN MOVE AROUND THROUGH THERE.
8:42:12PM WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE OVERFLOW PARKING.
8:42:16PM TIM'S IDEA AND RICK'S IDEA, I GUESS I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT
8:42:19PM ORIGINATED FROM OF CLOSING OFF FERN AND 9th STREET.
8:42:23PM FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN LOOKS LIKE A PRETTY VIABLE OPTION.
8:42:28PM IT'S GOING TO HELP CUT DOWN THAT TRAFFIC ON NORTH.
8:42:30PM PEOPLE ALREADY DO CUT THROUGH IF YOU GET BACKED UP ON HANNA
8:42:34PM IN THE AFTERNOON, YOU CAN'T GET ON NEBRASKA, SO PEOPLE ARE
8:42:37PM SHOOTING THROUGH IN SOME OF THE CROSS STREETS TRYING TO GET
8:42:41PM TO IT.
8:42:42PM AGAIN, FANTASTIC.
8:42:43PM I THINK IT'S A GREAT DEVELOPMENT AND JUST SOME
8:42:47PM CONSIDERATIONS JUST NEED TO BE GIVEN FOR SOME OF THE FLOW OF
8:42:50PM TRAFFIC AND THE ISSUES FOR PEDESTRIANS.
8:42:54PM THANK YOU.
8:43:02PM >> HI.
8:43:03PM MY NAME IS INGRID SMITH.
8:43:04PM 5605 NORTH SUWANNEE AVENUE IN TAMPA, FLORIDA.
8:43:08PM WHEN WE WENT TO OUR YEARS OF WORKSHOPS OF FORM BASED ZONING,
8:43:20PM THAT PROPERTY WAS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE ONES WE DID A TEST
8:43:23PM CASE ON.
8:43:24PM THIS IS THE DESIGN CLOSE TO WHAT WE CAME OUT WITH AS FAR AS
8:43:29PM THE ART.
8:43:30PM WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT THE EMERGING DESIGN ALONG NEBRASKA
8:43:32PM AVENUE, THIS IS THE FIRST REALLY BIG NEW PROJECT ALONG
8:43:37PM NEBRASKA AVENUE.
8:43:38PM SO AS FAR AS IT MATCHING THE FABRIC OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IT
8:43:42PM DOESN'T.
8:43:43PM IT'S THEIR COOKIE CUTTER TEMPLATE THAT THEY USE IN OTHER
8:43:46PM PLACES.
8:43:46PM SO AT SOME POINT, IF WE CAN COME BACK TO REVISITING.
8:43:52PM WE WERE THE FIRST FORM BASED ZONING TO GO THROUGH.
8:43:55PM IF WE CAN REVISIT THE URBAN DESIGN FOR OUR CORRIDORS.
8:43:59PM THEY ARE GATEWAYS TO THE NEIGHBORHOODS.
8:44:03PM ONE OF THE MAJOR COMPLAINTS YOU HEAR, THE UGLINESS AND
8:44:06PM BLIGHT ON FLORIDA AND NEBRASKA DON'T MATCH OUR
8:44:08PM NEIGHBORHOODS.
8:44:09PM IF WE CAN COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT BETTER REFLECTS THE
8:44:12PM NEIGHBORHOOD AND CREATES A UNIFIED FABRIC, LIKE OTHER
8:44:15PM COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE U.S. DO.
8:44:17PM ALSO, TO CALL THIS MIXED USE, THIS BOTTOM IS ALL RETAIL ON
8:44:25PM WHAT WE HAD PROPOSED AND WHAT THE CITY IS LOOKING FOR, WHAT
8:44:28PM URBAN REDEVELOPMENT IS LOOKING FORWARD TO IS MORE MIXED USE
8:44:32PM TO HAVE BARELY THE SIZE OF AN APARTMENT BE CALLED MIXED USE
8:44:40PM --
8:44:42PM AND DISCUSSION ABOUT FERN WAS ONE.
8:44:45PM I KNOW I BROUGHT IT FORWARD IN ONE OF OUR CHATS ONLINE.
8:44:49PM IT DOES A LITTLE JIG.
8:44:50PM IF YOU ALL CAN CLOSE OFF FERN, THEN THE MAJOR COMPLAINT THAT
8:44:54PM A LOT OF NEIGHBORHOODS ARE FACING RIGHT NOW WITH THE URBAN
8:44:57PM REDEVELOPMENT IS CUT-THRU TRAFFIC.
8:44:59PM WHY CREATE A PROBLEM THAT CAN BE AVOIDED FROM THE GET-GO?
8:45:04PM YOU'RE ALREADY WORKING WITH THE VISION ZERO WITH SEVERAL OF
8:45:08PM OUR NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGHOUT THE CITY AS WELL TO TRY TO DO
8:45:11PM SOMETHING ABOUT CUT-THRU.
8:45:13PM IF YOU CLOSE OFF FERN AND MAKE THAT THEIR EXIT INSTEAD OF
8:45:17PM NORTH, THERE IS ZERO OPPORTUNITY TO CUT THROUGH INTO THE
8:45:21PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:45:22PM THAT EFFECTIVELY CLOSES IT OFF.
8:45:24PM AND THIS PORTION OF SEMINOLE HEIGHTS IS ONE OF THE LESSER
8:45:28PM TRAVELED AREAS ONE OF THE MORE QUIET NEIGHBORHOODS.
8:45:33PM THIS WOULD BE A HUGE IMPACT ON THEM WITH THE CUT THROUGH TO
8:45:36PM 15th.
8:45:37PM AS SOON AS YOU SEE FIVE CARS LINED UP AT NEBRASKA, YOU'LL BE
8:45:40PM HOOKING A RIGHT ON NORTH AND HEADING OVER TO 15th.
8:45:43PM THE PD, IF THEY WERE GOING ACCORDING TO CODE, THEY WOULDN'T
8:45:48PM NEED PD.
8:45:50PM SO I SUPPORT THE FACT THAT -- FORM BASED ZONING GOAL WAS TO
8:45:56PM GET AWAY FROM PDs FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION.
8:45:58PM AND THIS WOULD NOT BE A GOOD PRECEDENT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD
8:46:01PM AS WELL AS FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA AND NOT WHAT WE INTENDED
8:46:07PM WITH -- ZONING.
8:46:08PM OTHERWISE I SUPPORT IT, AS LONG AS THEY STAY WITHIN.
8:46:15PM >> GOOD EVENING.
8:46:16PM NAME IS JEFF FULLER.
8:46:17PM I DID NOT GET SWORN IN.
8:46:19PM MAY I DO THAT NOW?
8:46:23PM [OATH ADMINISTERED]
8:46:28PM >> I LIVE AT 911 EAST NORTH STREET.
8:46:30PM MY PROPERTY RUNS FROM EAST NORTH STREET TO FERN STREET,
8:46:35PM WHICH MAKES ME THE SOLE NEIGHBOR OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.
8:46:40PM IT'S CLOSEST TO MY PROPERTY CONNECTS TO THEIR PROPERTY.
8:46:45PM I THINK IT'S A GREAT-LOOKING PROJECT.
8:46:47PM I'VE LOOKED AT THE PLANS FOR THIS PROJECT AND I WENT ONLINE
8:46:50PM AND LOOKED AT MILHAUS AS A COMPANY AND WHAT THEY HAVE DONE
8:46:53PM IN OTHER CITIES AND GOT A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT THE INTERIORS
8:46:58PM OF THEIR PROPERTIES ARE LIKE.
8:46:59PM THE RENOVATIONS THEY HAVE BROUGHT TO OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS
8:47:03PM WERE IN NEED OF RENEWAL, LIKE OUR STRETCH OF NEBRASKA AVENUE
8:47:06PM IS.
8:47:07PM I THINK IT WOULD BE A VERY GOOD PROJECT FOR OUR STRETCH ON
8:47:13PM NEBRASKA AVENUE.
8:47:15PM I FULLY SUPPORT IT.
8:47:16PM I'M HEARING FOR THE FIRST TIME THE IDEA OF BLOCKING OFF FERN
8:47:21PM AT 9th STREET.
8:47:23PM I THINK THAT'S A VERY GOOD IDEA.
8:47:26PM I HOPE THAT COULD BE GIVEN SOME CONSIDERATION.
8:47:29PM EVEN IF THE ENTRANCE AND EXIT REMAINS ON EAST NORTH STREET,
8:47:34PM IT PUTS IT PRETTY MUCH BESIDE MY DRIVEWAY ON EAST NORTH
8:47:37PM STREET.
8:47:37PM IT IS GOING TO BE INCONVENIENT AND MY HOUSE WILL BE THE
8:47:40PM FIRST ONE THAT OVERFLOW PARKING WOULD PARK IN FRONT OF.
8:47:45PM I KNEW WHEN I BOUGHT MY HOUSE 15 YEARS AGO, 300 FEET OFF OF
8:47:49PM NEBRASKA AVENUE THAT ONE DAY SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD BE
8:47:55PM PUT IN.
8:47:57PM THE PROJECT THAT MILHAUS IS PRESENTING FAR EXCEEDS MY HOPES
8:48:02PM AND EXPECTATIONS OF WHAT THAT PROJECT WOULD BE.
8:48:05PM WE'RE IN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT.
8:48:09PM I THINK SOME ON-STREET PARKING IS OKAY.
8:48:13PM I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT.
8:48:14PM I HOPE YOU WILL APPROVE THE PROJECT.
8:48:17PM THANK YOU.
8:48:22PM >> GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.
8:48:23PM MY NAME IS LORI OLLING.
8:48:25PM 916 EAST NORTH STREET, DIRECTLY BEHIND THIS PROPOSED
8:48:31PM PROJECT.
8:48:31PM I WANT TO START OUT BY SAYING I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE
8:48:34PM PROJECT AT ALL.
8:48:34PM I THINK IT'S A GREAT BUILDING.
8:48:36PM I THINK IT'S A GOOD ADDITION TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:48:38PM I'M NOT GOING TO BEAT A DEAD HORSE.
8:48:41PM WE ALL KNOW THE PROBLEMS -- PARKING.
8:48:43PM ONE SPACE PER UNIT IS NOT ENOUGH.
8:48:47PM I KNOW MYSELF I'M A SINGLE PERSON.
8:48:49PM I OWN TWO CARS AS DO MOST OF MY NEIGHBORS.
8:48:54PM SO ONE VEHICLE PARKING SPACE PER UNIT, THAT LEAVES A
8:48:59PM SHORTFALL OF AT LEAST A HUNDRED PARKING SPACES NEEDED.
8:49:03PM THAT'S THE REALITY.
8:49:03PM THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS.
8:49:06PM YOU CAN SAY YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION,
8:49:08PM GOING TO RIDE BIKES, THE REALITY IS THAT'S YEARS IN THE
8:49:12PM FUTURE.
8:49:12PM THE NEWEST IDEA OF CLOSING FERN STREET, I JUST HEARD OF
8:49:20PM THAT.
8:49:21PM I THINK THAT IS A GREAT IDEA.
8:49:23PM MOVE THE ENTRANCE OVER.
8:49:25PM THERE ARE CURRENTLY THREE EXISTING DRIVEWAYS ON FERN STREET
8:49:28PM THAT WHEN I SPOKE WITH JONATHAN SCOTT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF
8:49:31PM TRANSPORTATION, HE ASSURED ME THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH
8:49:34PM USING ANY ONE OF THOSE DRIVEWAYS.
8:49:36PM MOVING THE DRIVE OVER TO FERN STREET, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT
8:49:43PM IDEA.
8:49:44PM THAT WOULD KEEP THE TRAFFIC OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH
8:49:46PM IS THE BIG CONCERN.
8:49:48PM WE HAVE A LOT OF ELDERLY NEIGHBORS.
8:49:50PM I HAVE ONE LADY THAT LIVES ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME, EVERY
8:49:54PM MORNING AT 7:00 IN THE MORNING, 91 YEARS OLD, SHE GETS OUT
8:49:59PM WITH HER WALKER AND WALKS DOWN THAT STREET.
8:50:01PM SHE DOESN'T GO FAR.
8:50:03PM SHE ONLY GOES A BLOCK OR SO, BUT THAT'S HER NOMINATE.
8:50:06PM IF YOU START HAVING ALL THAT CUT-THRU TRAFFIC BACK THROUGH
8:50:09PM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SHE'S NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT
8:50:11PM ANYMORE BECAUSE THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS PLANNED IN OUR
8:50:14PM FUTURE.
8:50:15PM IT WOULD BE GREAT BUT THERE JUST ISN'T.
8:50:19PM THE TREES, I THINK THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE RELOOKED AT.
8:50:22PM MAYBE MOVE SOME MEDIANS AROUND, BECAUSE THERE ARE SEVERAL
8:50:26PM OAKS, MATURE OAKS, 30 TO 50 YEARS OLD IN THE ALREADY
8:50:30PM COMMERCIAL AREA.
8:50:31PM THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL TREES, BEAUTIFULLY MAINTAINED.
8:50:34PM THERE'S NO REASON TO TAKE THOSE TREES OUT WHEN THEY COULD
8:50:37PM SHIFT A FEW PARKING MEDIANS.
8:50:39PM LIKE I SAY, I'M IN FAVOR OF THE PROJECT, BUT IT NEEDS
8:50:46PM TWEAKING.
8:50:46PM IT NEEDS WORK.
8:50:47PM I'M ASKING AT THIS TIME THAT WE MAYBE TABLE THIS UNTIL SOME
8:50:52PM MORE CONSIDERATION CAN BE GIVEN TO OUR ISSUES.
8:50:56PM AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE THAT.
8:50:57PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH, GENTLEMEN.
8:51:06PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
8:51:08PM MY NAME IS MICHAEL MINCBERG WITH SIGHT REAL ESTATE, 1925
8:51:13PM EAST 6th AVENUE IN YBOR CITY.
8:51:14PM I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH MILHAUS ON THIS PROJECT AND HAVE
8:51:17PM WORKED ON A HANDFUL OF PROJECTS WITH THEM IN THE PAST, SOME
8:51:20PM THAT HAVE COME IN FRONT OF THIS COUNCIL BEFORE.
8:51:23PM MILHAUS HAS A REPUTATION OF BEING A HIGH-QUALITY DEVELOPER,
8:51:29PM AS YOU HEARD FROM MANY OF THE NEIGHBORS WHO EVEN WOULD LIKE
8:51:32PM TO SEE CHANGES IN THE PROJECT.
8:51:34PM AS THE PROJECT IN FLORIDA AVENUE WAS UNDER CONSTRUCTION, I
8:51:39PM FOUND THE SITE AND I STARTED BRINGING MILHAUS.
8:51:44PM TO BE HONEST, NOT VERY OPTIMISTIC THAT THEY WOULD GO THERE
8:51:48PM JUST BECAUSE NO ONE HAS BUILT ANYTHING ON NEBRASKA AVENUE
8:51:51PM YET.
8:51:51PM AND BEING FIRST IS CHALLENGING FOR A LOT OF REASONS.
8:51:54PM ONE, YOU KNOW, YOU PROBABLY LOOKED AT MOST WITH A MAGNIFYING
8:52:01PM GLASS BUT EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT'S HARD TO GET FINANCING
8:52:04PM AND INVESTMENTS FOR SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT HAVE A PROVEN
8:52:08PM TRACK RECORD.
8:52:10PM AS A NEIGHBOR SAID WHO'S BORDERING THIS PROJECT DIRECTLY,
8:52:14PM THIS FAR EXCEEDS WHAT HE EVER EXPECTED WOULD GO THERE.
8:52:19PM LIKE I SAID, I WASN'T SO OPTIMISTIC THAT THEY WOULD WANT TO
8:52:23PM MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT WITHOUT A HISTORY OF
8:52:25PM DEVELOPMENT ON THE STREET, BUT THEY DID IT AND THEY ARE
8:52:29PM TRYING TO DO IT JUST LIKE THEY WOULD ON FLORIDA AVENUE.
8:52:32PM I THINK THAT THIS IS GOING TO IMPROVE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR
8:52:35PM THE NEIGHBORS REALLY FOR THREE REASONS.
8:52:37PM ONE, IT'S GOING TO PROVIDE A DIVERSITY OF HOUSING TYPES.
8:52:40PM THERE'S NO QUALITY APARTMENTS ON NEBRASKA AVENUE RIGHT NOW,
8:52:43PM NOT EVERYBODY WANTS TO LIVE IN A HOUSE WITH TWO CARS.
8:52:46PM SOME PEOPLE DON'T.
8:52:48PM AND THIS GIVES THAT OPTION.
8:52:50PM AND JUST LIKE IN AREAS THAT HAVE OTHER APARTMENTS, WHEN YOU
8:52:53PM GIVE PEOPLE THAT OPTION, THEN THEY START TO GROW.
8:52:56PM THEY WANT TO HAVE A FAMILY, HAVE A BIGGER HOUSE, IT
8:52:59PM INCREASES THE VALUE OF HOMES AROUND IT.
8:53:01PM SECONDLY, WHEN MILHAUS OPENED THE PROJECT ON FLORIDA AVENUE,
8:53:04PM SINCE THEN, THEY'VE BEEN UNDER CONSTRUCTION, THREE NEW
8:53:07PM RESTAURANTS OPENED UP THERE.
8:53:09PM MANDARIN HEIGHTS, SEA HOUSE, AND BODEGA.
8:53:15PM PART OF THE REASON THEY MOVED THERE WAS BECAUSE MILHAUS PUT
8:53:19PM ALMOST A HUNDRED APARTMENTS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET.
8:53:25PM >> NO, THEY WERE ALREADY THERE.
8:53:27PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
8:53:28PM WE DON'T HAVE THE OUTBURSTS IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS.
8:53:33PM >> WITH THAT SAID, NOT EVERY BLOCK CAN BE ASSEMBLED.
8:53:36PM SO WHEN YOU PUT AN APARTMENT BUILDING ON A BLOCK, THEN
8:53:40PM THERE'S OTHER LESS UTILIZED ECONOMIC COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES
8:53:44PM THAT ARE GOING TO BENEFIT FROM THAT.
8:53:46PM THE ISSUE OF GOING THROUGH A PD, YOU KNOW, IS REALLY A
8:53:53PM CHALLENGING CITY LOGISTICAL ISSUE BECAUSE HOW ELSE DO YOU
8:53:57PM GET TO THE F.A.R. BONUS IF YOU CAN'T GO THROUGH A PD WHICH
8:54:01PM IS ACTUALLY PART OF THE VISION PLAN.
8:54:03PM A PD IS IN THE VISION PLAN JUST LIKE ANY OTHER ZONING
8:54:06PM CATEGORY IN THE VISION PLAN.
8:54:07PM SO I THINK THAT IT'S A DIFFICULT -- THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
8:54:12PM >>FRANK REDDICK: PETITIONER?
8:54:19PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: JOURDAN WOODRUFF WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO YOU
8:54:25PM FIRST AND I'LL FOLLOW UP WITH HER.
8:54:27PM >> MARY, ARE YOU ABLE TO SPEAK TO THE ZONING PIECE?
8:54:31PM OKAY.
8:54:33PM LIKE I SAID BEFORE, OUR INTENT WAS TO -- JOURDAN WOODRUFF,
8:54:41PM MILHAUS.
8:54:42PM OUR INTENT WAS TO REZONE THE BACK PARCEL WITH SH-CI, BUT THE
8:54:47PM TREE RETENTION REQUIREMENT DID PREVENT US FROM DOING SO.
8:54:52PM WHEN YOU HAVE A WAIVER, THAT IS WHAT REQUIRES YOU TO GO TO
8:54:55PM THE PD AND THAT IS THE WAIVER THAT REQUIRED US.
8:55:00PM I WILL SAY THAT AT THE MEETING, I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT ONE
8:55:05PM OF THE WAIVERS WHICH IS THE TRANSPORTATION WAIVER.
8:55:09PM LAST WEEK WHEN THE STAFF REPORT CAME OUT.
8:55:11PM SO THAT IS WHY IT IS INCONSISTENT WITH WHAT I SAID AT THE
8:55:14PM NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING AS ONE GENTLEMAN POINTED OUT.
8:55:16PM I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT.
8:55:17PM ONE THING THAT I JUST -- I MET WITH OUR LEASING STAFF
8:55:24PM ON-SITE AT OUR OTHER PROJECT, WHICH IS DOWN THE STREET ON
8:55:26PM FLORIDA AVENUE.
8:55:27PM RIGHT NOW WE HAVE -- AGAIN, I KNOW THIS IS A SMALL SAMPLE,
8:55:31PM BUT IT WAS PROMISING THAT WE WOULD HAVE 20 LEASES AND
8:55:36PM ACTUALLY ONLY 15 CARS SO FAR WITH PARKING PASSES ON THE
8:55:39PM PROPERTY.
8:55:40PM IN SPEAKING WITH THE NEIGHBORS, WE UNDERSTOOD THAT MOVING
8:55:45PM ACCESS FROM NORTH TO FERN WAS VERY IMPORTANT.
8:55:48PM AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON AND WE'RE
8:55:52PM VERY OPEN TO.
8:55:54PM WE JUST WEREN'T ABLE TO MAKE IT FEASIBLE.
8:55:57PM IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'M GOING TO USE THIS.
8:55:59PM WE ACTUALLY HAD THE ACCESS POINT ON FERN FIRST, AND THEN IN
8:56:04PM DOING MORE RESEARCH ON THE SITE, THERE WAS A GRAND TREE AT
8:56:07PM THE SOUTHEAST CORNER THAT WE ARE TRYING TO SAVE.
8:56:11PM SO THAT WAS THE REASON FOR MOVING IT TO NORTH.
8:56:13PM WE ALSO WERE ASKED TO MOVE IT FURTHER IN TOWARDS NEBRASKA,
8:56:18PM AND WE WEREN'T ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THAT BECAUSE OF -- WE
8:56:22PM WEREN'T ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THAT BECAUSE OF GRADING RIGHT
8:56:25PM AROUND HERE.
8:56:26PM AND THEN AS YOU GET CLOSER TO NEBRASKA, THERE ARE
8:56:29PM REQUIREMENTS FOR F.D.O.T. BECAUSE IT IS A STATE ROAD,
8:56:32PM NEBRASKA FOR HOW FAR THE ACCESS OR CURB CUTS HAVE TO BE FROM
8:56:38PM THE STATE ROAD.
8:56:40PM AND THEN THERE WAS A COMMENT ABOUT TRYING TO MOVE THE ACCESS
8:56:44PM TO FERN HERE, AND THERE WAS CONCERNS OF SITE VISIBILITY AND
8:56:48PM SAFETY BECAUSE THIS IS AN S-CURVE, WHICH IS FERN RIGHT HERE.
8:56:52PM SO YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THE ADEQUATE VISIBILITY THERE.
8:56:54PM THIS IS WHERE WE WERE ASKED TO TRY TO MOVE IT TO HERE, BUT
8:57:04PM THERE IS AN S CURVE WHICH IS FERN THAT GOES LIKE THIS, SO
8:57:08PM THAT REDUCED VISIBILITY.
8:57:15PM >>HARRY COHEN: MAY I JUST ASK YOU A QUESTION ABOUT THAT AND
8:57:17PM MAYBE MS. SAMANIEGO CAN HELP CLARIFY THIS.
8:57:19PM IS IT AN OPTION TO -- LET ME JUST SAY AT THE OUTSET, THIS IS
8:57:26PM A HEARING WHERE THERE ACTUALLY -- YOU GUYS ARE NOT THIS FAR
8:57:32PM APART.
8:57:33PM YOU'RE THIS FAR APART.
8:57:34PM I JUST WANT TO ASK IS THIS OPTION THAT'S BEEN BROUGHT UP
8:57:38PM RELATED TO CLOSING FERN STREET AND HAVING THE EXIT AND
8:57:41PM ENTRANCE MOVED TO THERE, IS THAT VIABLE?
8:57:44PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: UPON THOROUGH ANALYSIS AND A STUDY, THERE
8:57:48PM WOULD HAVE TO BE A TRANSPORTATION STUDY DONE BY OUR
8:57:51PM TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS D.O.T. BECAUSE OF THE
8:57:54PM PROXIMITY OF THIS ROAD.
8:57:57PM THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE A FULL TRAFFIC STUDY DONE.
8:57:59PM THE RESULTS OF WHICH I DON'T KNOW.
8:58:04PM BUT IT WOULD NEED TO HAVE A FULL ANALYSIS.
8:58:10PM IT WOULDN'T BE A MATTER OF CLOSING THE ROAD.
8:58:12PM WE WOULD HAVE TO STUDY THE TRAFFIC PATTERNS.
8:58:14PM >>HARRY COHEN: HOW LONG DOES THAT TAKE?
8:58:22PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: JONATHAN SCOTT WITH OUR TRANSPORTATION
8:58:24PM DIVISION.
8:58:24PM DO YOU HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH OTHER ROAD CLOSURE STUDIES?
8:58:27PM >> JONATHAN SCOTT, TRANSPORTATION PLANNING.
8:58:29PM TRANSPORTATION WOULD NOT PROBABLY WANT TO SHUT DOWN THE
8:58:34PM ROAD, PROMOTE CONNECTIVITY AND SO FORTH.
8:58:38PM I DON'T THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
8:58:39PM THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS.
8:58:44PM IT WOULD HAVE TO BE EXPLORED AND STUDY.
8:58:46PM TRAFFIC STUDY MIGHT HAVE TO BE REDONE OR WHATEVER.
8:58:49PM THAT COULD TAKE UP TO 30 DAYS TO LOOK AT.
8:58:51PM IF THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION.
8:58:54PM >>HARRY COHEN: 30 DAYS.
8:58:55PM >> AT LEAST.
8:59:01PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: DID WE ASK F.D.O.T. ABOUT ACCESS FROM
8:59:06PM NEBRASKA ONTO THIS PROJECT?
8:59:08PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: YES.
8:59:09PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: WE DO THIS EVERY TIME, DON'T WE?
8:59:12PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: YES, SIR, WE DO.
8:59:13PM F.D.O.T. IS PART OF OUR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE.
8:59:16PM ANYTIME THERE IS A PROJECT THAT HAS FRONTAGE ON AN F.D.O.T.
8:59:19PM ROAD, WE ASK THEM.
8:59:21PM WE REQUIRE THE APPLICANT TO GET A LETTER FROM THEM WHETHER
8:59:23PM OR NOT THEY GET A DRIVEWAY OR NOT.
8:59:25PM THEY WERE DENIED A DRIVEWAY.
8:59:28PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: HAVE WE EVER GOTTEN A YES ANSWER FROM
8:59:32PM F.D.O.T. ON ANY OF THE PROJECTS?
8:59:33PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: YES, WE HAVE.
8:59:34PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: WE HAVE. WHERE?
8:59:35PM I WANT TO KNOW BECAUSE I'M WONDERING.
8:59:35PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: I CAN'T NAME ONE.
8:59:39PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I THINK I COULD FIGURE OUT THAT YOU PROBABLY
8:59:42PM HAVE WON IN VEGAS MORE THAN WE HAVE ACTUALLY GOTTEN APPROVAL
8:59:44PM FROM F.D.O.T. TO DO THESE TYPES OF THINGS.
8:59:45PM AS YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN PLENTY OF PROJECTS THAT I'VE SEEN
8:59:48PM THAT I VOTED AGAINST PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF THE ACCESS FROM
8:59:51PM THE MAIN STREET AS OPPOSED TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD STREET.
8:59:54PM YOU KNOW, HERE YOU GO, I THINK MR. COHEN SAID IT PERFECTLY.
8:59:59PM YOU HAVE TWO GROUPS THAT ARE VERY CLOSE TOGETHER AND THEY
9:00:02PM WANT TO MAKE IT WORK.
9:00:04PM IF THAT ONE THING WAS DONE, I THINK THAT THIS PROJECT WOULD
9:00:05PM BE GOING THROUGH LIKE THAT BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT
9:00:08PM THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE PROJECT ITSELF.
9:00:10PM IT'S A PROBLEM WITH WHERE THOSE CARS ARE GOING TO BE MILLING
9:00:14PM ABOUT AND GOING THROUGH.
9:00:15PM I THINK THAT PARKING IS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE, BUT AT THE
9:00:17PM SAME TIME, I DO THINK THAT ACCESS POINT IS A BIG STICKING
9:00:21PM POINT.
9:00:22PM I'M GLAD TO SEE THE NEIGHBORS CAME HERE AND HAD ALTERNATIVES
9:00:25PM AS OPPOSED TO BEING AGAINST THE PROJECT WHOLEHEARTEDLY, BUT
9:00:28PM THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE FIXED AT SOME
9:00:31PM POINT BECAUSE WE KEEP GOING AROUND AND AROUND WITH F.D.O.T.
9:00:36PM I DON'T KNOW WHAT LEVEL OF F.D.O.T. WE HAVE TO GET TO, TO
9:00:38PM TALK TO THEM ABOUT IT, NOT THAT YOU HAVEN'T DONE YOUR JOB,
9:00:41PM BUT WE NEED TO CHANGE THAT AND WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO
9:00:44PM THESE TYPE OF THINGS TO MAKE THE CITY BETTER AS OPPOSED TO
9:00:47PM MAKING F.D.O.T.'S LIFE EASIER.
9:00:48PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: I THINK PROFESSIONALLY IT COMES DOWN TO
9:00:52PM DUELING POLICIES.
9:00:54PM THE CITY HAS A CODE REQUIREMENT THEY THE WANT TO REDUCE
9:00:59PM COMMERCIAL DRIVEWAY CUTS ON THE LOCAL STREETS.
9:01:01PM HOWEVER, F.D.O.T.'S POSITION IS THEY WANT TO REDUCE
9:01:04PM DRIVEWAYS ONTO THEIR ARTERIAL AND COLLECTOR ROADS BECAUSE IT
9:01:07PM IMPEDES THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC.
9:01:10PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I GOT IT.
9:01:11PM FLOW IS ABOUT EVERYTHING BUT FLOW ISN'T EVERYTHING, AS WE
9:01:16PM LIKE TO SAY.
9:01:17PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: JONATHAN, YOU SAID THERE MIGHT BE ANOTHER
9:01:21PM ALTERNATIVE.
9:01:22PM DO YOU KNOW OF ANY OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD?
9:01:24PM >> JONATHAN SCOTT, TRANSPORTATION PLANNING.
9:01:26PM LIKE I SAID, THEY DID LOOK AT PUTTING AN ACCESS OFF OF FERN
9:01:29PM STREET, BUT HAD GRAND TREE ISSUES.
9:01:32PM I WAS TALKING TO THEIR TRAFFIC ENGINEER, HE MENTIONED, TOO,
9:01:36PM IF YOU CUT OFF FERN STREET, YOU'D HAVE AN ACCESS ISSUE FOR
9:01:41PM -- WOULD YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE TURNAROUND FOR EMERGENCY
9:01:45PM VEHICLES AND STUFF.
9:01:46PM THERE WOULDN'T BE ROOM FOR RIGHT-OF-WAY TO DO THAT EITHER.
9:01:48PM IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA.
9:01:52PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU.
9:01:55PM >>REBECCA KERT: REBECCA KERT, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
9:01:57PM I WANT TO REFRAME FROM CITY COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION IS
9:02:00PM BEFORE YOU BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN PROPOSED AN
9:02:03PM ALTERNATIVE, BUT WHAT CITY COUNCIL HAS TO CONSIDER IS THE
9:02:07PM PROPOSAL THAT'S PUT IN FRONT OF YOU AND THE ACCESS POINTS
9:02:10PM THEY HAVE IN THAT THEY HAVE LEGAL ACCESS RIGHTS TO.
9:02:13PM CITY COUNCIL DOESN'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO HALT THIS PROJECT
9:02:17PM AND CLOSE A ROAD AND THEN HAVE THEM COME BACK.
9:02:20PM CITY COUNCIL HAS TO EVALUATE WHAT THEY HAVE BEFORE YOU.
9:02:24PM THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO APPROVE IT BUT YOU HAVE TO
9:02:26PM EVALUATE WHETHER OR NOT THE PROPOSAL AS IT HAS BEEN
9:02:31PM PRESENTED MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
9:02:34PM AND YOUR LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.
9:02:36PM THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT A PRECEDENT OF A
9:02:39PM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.
9:02:39PM FRANKLY, THE CITY COUNCIL -- NOT THIS CITY COUNCIL -- A
9:02:43PM PRIOR CITY COUNCIL DENIED A REZONING BASED UPON THE NEGATIVE
9:02:47PM EFFECTS OF THE PRECEDENT OF HAVING A PD AND WE LOST.
9:02:51PM THAT'S NOT A VIABLE ONE.
9:02:53PM THE QUESTION AGAIN IS WHETHER OR NOT THIS PARTICULAR PD
9:02:57PM SERVES THE PURPOSE OF THE PD AS STATED IN THE SITE PLAN.
9:03:00PM IT'S ALL LISTED OUT AND EVALUATED BY YOUR STAFF, AND YOU ALL
9:03:03PM HAVE THE FINAL EVALUATION, AS WELL AS WHETHER THE APPLICANT
9:03:06PM HAS MET THEIR BURDEN TO SHOW THAT THEY ARE ENTITLED TO THE
9:03:09PM WAIVERS, AND THE CRITERIA ARE ALSO IN YOUR STAFF REPORT.
9:03:13PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: MS. KERT, CAN I ASK YOU A QUICK QUESTION?
9:03:15PM I GOT A LITTLE SLAP ON THE WRIST THERE.
9:03:19PM I'M JOKING WITH YOU.
9:03:20PM OBVIOUSLY, WHEN SOMEBODY BRINGS UP TESTIMONY BEFORE US, WE
9:03:25PM HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE TESTIMONY THAT THEY
9:03:28PM HAVE.
9:03:29PM OBVIOUSLY WE DID NOT KNOW SOMEONE WAS GOING TO PRESENT AN
9:03:32PM ALTERNATIVE PLAN.
9:03:32PM THE QUESTIONS THAT I ASKED I WANTED TO MAKE SURE TO MAKE THE
9:03:35PM RECORD CLEAR IS BASED ON THE EVIDENCE THAT WAS PRESENTED BY
9:03:40PM THE PUBLIC AND NOT FOR ANY OTHER REASON.
9:03:42PM >>REBECCA KERT: I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT I DIDN'T THINK
9:03:44PM ANY OF THE QUESTIONS THAT CITY COUNCIL ASKED WERE
9:03:46PM INAPPROPRIATE.
9:03:46PM I JUST WANTED WHEN YOU'RE BASING YOUR FINAL DECISION TO MAKE
9:03:49PM SURE IT'S BASED ON THE CODE REQUIREMENTS SO WE CAN SUPPORT
9:03:51PM IT.
9:03:52PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I GOT IT.
9:03:53PM THANK YOU.
9:03:54PM >>FRANK REDDICK: PETITIONER?
9:03:56PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: YES, MR. CHAIRMAN, JOHN GRANDOFF ON
9:03:59PM REBUTTAL.
9:04:00PM I WANT TO SHOW QUICKLY WHERE MR. FULLER LIVES.
9:04:05PM HE SPOKE LAST.
9:04:06PM MR. FULLER LIVES HERE.
9:04:08PM THIS IS HIS HOME ON FERN.
9:04:09PM THIS IS HIS PROPERTY.
9:04:11PM A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANT TO REMIND YOU OF.
9:04:16PM WE MET THE PARKING CODE.
9:04:17PM WE HAVE THE OFFSETS.
9:04:20PM THAT IS PART OF THE VISION PLAN OF SEMINOLE HEIGHTS.
9:04:23PM I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH TWO THINGS.
9:04:27PM IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CITIES, RESTAURANTS, SHOPS, PERSONAL
9:04:32PM SERVICES FOLLOW THE ROOFTOPS.
9:04:34PM IF YOU BUILD THE RESIDENCES, THE COMMERCIAL SUPPORT WILL
9:04:38PM COME AFTER THAT.
9:04:39PM IT'S LIKE THE COW BELL COMING DOWN ON THE COW COMING DOWN
9:04:44PM THE VALLEY.
9:04:44PM THE COW BELL LEADS THE REST OF THE COWS DOWN THE VALLEY.
9:04:48PM THE SECOND THING I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH, I VISITED THIS
9:04:51PM PROPERTY FOUR TIMES, WALKED ALL AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
9:04:54PM WHEN I POSTED THE SIGN ON THE PROPERTY A GENTLEMAN STOPPED
9:04:56PM ME IN THE FRONT WHO WAS ON A BICYCLE.
9:04:58PM HE SAID WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
9:05:00PM I SAID I'M PUTTING UP A SIGN.
9:05:01PM THERE WILL BE A HEARING IN DECEMBER WHICH BEFORE WE
9:05:04PM CONTINUED.
9:05:04PM AT THE HEARING, WE'LL CONSIDER PUTTING AN APARTMENT BUILDING
9:05:07PM HERE.
9:05:07PM HE SAID, REALLY?
9:05:08PM WE COULD REALLY USE THAT, GET ALL THIS YOU KNOW WHAT OFF THE
9:05:12PM STREET.
9:05:12PM BESIDES, I NEED A JOB.
9:05:14PM WILL THEY BE HIRING?
9:05:15PM I SAID THEY SURE WILL.
9:05:16PM WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO HIRE?
9:05:17PM WELL, I THINK WE'LL START IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF THE YEAR.
9:05:20PM THAT WILL BE APRIL.
9:05:21PM HE SAYS, WHY DON'T YOU COME BACK.
9:05:26PM THEY'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU.
9:05:27PM HE SAID HE CAN'T WAIT.
9:05:29PM I ASK FOR YOUR APPROVAL.
9:05:30PM >>FRANK REDDICK: I HOPE HE GET THE JOB.
9:05:32PM [ LAUGHTER ]
9:05:33PM ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL.

9:06:36PM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND
