18:03:47 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY
18:03:49 SAMANIEGO WITH PLANNING DESIGN
18:03:50 AND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
18:03:51 THE FIRST ITEM ON YOUR AGENDA
18:03:57 IS SU2-1903.
18:03:57 IT'S FOR A PLACE OF RELIGIOUS
18:04:01 ASSEMBLY, SPECIAL USE-2
18:04:01 APPROVAL, FOR THE PROPERTY
18:04:02 LOCATED AT 3518 AND 3519 EAST
18:04:07 9TH AVENUE.
18:04:08 >>JENNIFER MALONE: GOOD
18:04:09 EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
18:04:10 JENNIFER MALONE WITH YOUR
18:04:11 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
18:04:11 THE PROPERTY IS NOT LOCATED
18:04:13 WITHIN AN EVACUATION ZONE.
18:04:14 IT DOES HAVE ACCESS TO PUBLIC
18:04:15 TRANSPORTATION.
18:04:16 THERE'S A TRANSIT STOP ABOUT
18:04:19 500 FEET OF THE SITE AND IT IS
18:04:22 LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA
18:04:22 PLANNING DISTRICT.
18:04:25 I'M GOING TO SHOW AN AERIAL.
18:04:29 HERE'S EAST 9TH, NORTH 36TH.
18:04:30 THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE, SO IT
18:04:33 TRAVERSES EAST 9TH.
18:04:34 THIS IS A -- WE HAVE SOME
18:04:35 WAREHOUSING WITH DISTRIBUTION
18:04:37 IN THE AREA AND SOME
18:04:39 SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, AND THAT
18:04:40 WILL BE REFLECTED ON THE FUTURE
18:04:43 LAND USE MAP.
18:04:43 THE FUTURE LAND USE OF THE
18:04:46 SUBJECT SITE IS RESIDENTIAL-20.
18:04:48 THIS SALMONY PINK COLOR IS
18:04:50 TRANSITIONAL USE-24.
18:04:51 THAT DOES ALLOW FOR
18:04:52 CONSIDERATION OF THOSE LIGHT
18:04:53 INDUSTRIAL USES.
18:04:54 WE HAVE A LIGHT INDUSTRIAL
18:04:56 CATEGORY OVER HERE IN THE GRAY.
18:04:58 WE DID FIND THIS REQUEST
18:05:00 CONSISTENT WITH THE
18:05:03 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND WE DID
18:05:04 FIND IT WOULD BE COMPARABLE AND
18:05:05 COMPATIBLE WITH THE
18:05:06 NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THAT
18:05:07 CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
18:05:12 THANK YOU.
18:05:13 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY
18:05:15 SAMANIEGO AGAIN.
18:05:18 HERE IS AN AERIAL OF THE
18:05:18 SUBJECT PROPERTY.
18:05:19 AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S ON THE
18:05:21 NORTH AND SOUTH SIDE OF BOTH
18:05:25 EAST 9TH AVENUE, JUST WEST OF
18:05:27 36TH STREET.
18:05:29 HERE IS THE ZONING MAP OF THE
18:05:29 SUBJECT PROPERTY.
18:05:33 AS YOU CAN SEE, IT IS IN THE
18:05:35 RM-16 ZONING DISTRICT.
18:05:36 A PLACE OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY
18:05:38 IS ALLOWED FOR CONSIDERATION BY
18:05:40 THE CITY COUNCIL AS A SPECIAL
18:05:42 USE-2 APPLICATION PROVIDED THAT
18:05:46 THERE IS SPECIAL USE CRITERIA,
18:05:48 WHICH ARE LISTED IN YOUR STAFF
18:05:50 REPORT, THAT YOU MUST CONSIDER.
18:05:51 HERE IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
18:05:52 THIS IS THE SOUTHERN PORTION.
18:05:54 THE PLACE OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY
18:05:55 IS CURRENTLY UNDER
18:05:56 CONSTRUCTION.
18:06:00 LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE HIS
18:06:03 HISTORY ON THIS SITE OVERALL.
18:06:09 BACK IN -- LET ME SEE -- 2006,
18:06:11 A SPECIAL USE APPROVAL WAS
18:06:13 GRANTED BY CITY COUNCIL FOR A
18:06:16 PLACE OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY ON
18:06:16 THIS SITE.
18:06:21 IT WAS CASE V06-41 FOR THE
18:06:21 RECORD.
18:06:22 IT WAS FOR THE PROPERTY ON THE
18:06:24 SOUTH SIDE OF 9TH STREET AND
18:06:27 INCLUDED A HISTORIC BUILDING
18:06:28 THAT'S AT THE INTERSECTION OF
18:06:31 9TH AND 36TH, AND THEN THIS WAS
18:06:33 GOING TO BE THE PARKING LOT.
18:06:34 AT SOME POINT IN RECENT
18:06:43 HISTORY, THE PLACE OF RELIGIOUS
18:06:44 ASSEMBLY GROUP SOLD THIS
18:06:45 PROPERTY TO AN OUTSIDE ENTITY
18:06:50 AND ALSO, IN EFFECT, SOLD THEIR
18:06:52 REQUIRED PARKING LOT, SO NOW
18:06:53 THEY'RE IN A SITUATION WHERE
18:06:55 THEY HAVE THEIR PLACE OF
18:06:56 RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY BUILDING
18:06:57 UNDER CONSTRUCTION, BUT IT'S
18:07:00 OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH BOTH THE
18:07:01 SPECIAL USE-2 SITE PLAN AS WELL
18:07:02 AS CODE BECAUSE THERE'S NO
18:07:04 REQUIRED PARKING TO GO WITH THE
18:07:06 BUILDING, SO THEY HAVE FILED
18:07:08 THIS SPECIAL USE APPLICATION
18:07:10 THAT WE'RE HEARING BEFORE YOU
18:07:11 TONIGHT TO INCLUDE PROPERTY
18:07:13 ACROSS THE STREET TO PROVIDE
18:07:17 THE PARKING THAT THEY NEED.
18:07:18 AND I'LL SHOW YOU THE SITE PLAN
18:07:19 IN ONE MOMENT.
18:07:21 SO THIS IS THE CHURCH UNDER
18:07:22 CONSTRUCTION, SO I WANTED TO
18:07:24 GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACK STORY
18:07:26 BECAUSE YOU'RE LIKE WHY IS
18:07:27 THERE A CHURCH UNDER
18:07:28 CONSTRUCTION WHEN WE'RE HERE
18:07:28 TONIGHT.
18:07:29 THAT'S WHY.
18:07:30 THIS IS THE CIGAR FACTORY TO
18:07:32 THE EAST THAT WAS PART OF THE
18:07:34 ORIGINAL SITE PLAN THAT'S BEEN
18:07:34 SOLD OFF.
18:07:35 THIS IS A SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE
18:07:36 TO THE WEST.
18:07:37 THIS IS THE PROPERTY TO THE
18:07:38 NORTH THAT HAS BEEN ACQUIRED BY
18:07:40 THE CHURCH THAT THEY WILL USE
18:07:42 AS A FELLOWSHIP HALL AND
18:07:44 PARKING, AND, AGAIN, I'LL SHOW
18:07:47 YOU THE SITE PLAN IN A MOMENT.
18:07:49 AND ON EITHER SIDE OF THAT
18:07:49 PROPERTY ARE SINGLE-FAMILY
18:07:55 HOUSES.
18:07:57 SO NOW THIS IS THEIR PROPOSED
18:08:03 SITE PLAN.
18:08:04 SO THIS WILL BE THE CHURCH
18:08:07 BUILDING, AND THEN ACROSS THE
18:08:09 STREET WE JUST SAW A PICTURE OF
18:08:11 THE HOUSE, THE EXISTING
18:08:15 RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE WILL BE
18:08:15 CONVERTED INTO A FELLOWSHIP
18:08:17 HALL OR A MEETING AREA, AND
18:08:19 THEY WILL HAVE A ONE-WAY DRIVE
18:08:20 AISLE THAT GOES AROUND THE
18:08:21 EXISTING STRUCTURE WITH ANGLED
18:08:26 PARKING ON EITHER SIDE.
18:08:27 THEY HAVE THREE WAIVERS THAT
18:08:31 WERE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED THAT
18:08:34 STILL APPLY, BACK IN '06, CASE
18:08:36 V06-41.
18:08:38 THOSE ARE THE FIRST THREE
18:08:39 LISTED IN YOUR STAFF REPORT.
18:08:41 AND THEN THEY HAVE FIVE NEW
18:08:42 WAIVERS.
18:08:43 WAIVER NO. 1 IS TO SECTION
18:08:49 27-132, WHICH IS ONE OF THE
18:08:53 SPECIAL USE CRITERIA FOR THAT
18:08:53 ACCESS TO A LOCAL STREET, EAST
18:08:53 9TH AVENUE FOR BUILDING 1, AND
18:08:55 IN LIEU OF DIRECT ACCESS TO AN
18:08:57 ARTERIAL COLLECTOR.
18:08:57 PLACE OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY
18:08:58 SPECIAL USE CRITERIA, ONE OF
18:08:59 THEM IS YOU HAVE TO FRONT AN
18:09:00 ARTERIAL OR COLLECTOR.
18:09:02 9TH STREET IS THE ONLY FRONTAGE
18:09:03 THEY HAVE.
18:09:04 IT'S A LOCAL ROAD.
18:09:05 THIS BUILDING ALREADY RECEIVED
18:09:08 APPROVAL, A WAIVER APPROVAL TO
18:09:10 FRONT A LOCAL STREET, SO NOW
18:09:12 CITY COUNCIL, YOU WOULD HAVE TO
18:09:14 APPROVE, IF IT'S YOUR PLEASURE,
18:09:16 TO ALLOW THIS PORTION OF THE
18:09:19 USE TO ACCESS A LOCAL.
18:09:20 THE NEXT WAIVER IS TO REDUCE
18:09:22 THE REQUIRED YARDS FOR BUILDING
18:09:25 2 FROM 40 FEET TO 26 FEET IN
18:09:25 THE REAR.
18:09:28 AGAIN, IT'S ANOTHER SPECIAL USE
18:09:29 CRITERIA ARE THE SETBACKS FOR
18:09:31 REAR AND SIDE MUST BE 40 FEET,
18:09:32 PERIOD.
18:09:33 SO BECAUSE THERE'S AN EXISTING
18:09:35 STRUCTURE, THEY NEED A REAR
18:09:39 YARD SETBACK WAIVER AS WELL AS
18:09:44 A FRONT YARD SETBACK WAIVER.
18:09:47 THE NEXT CRITERIA FOR A SPECIAL
18:09:48 USE FOR A PLACE OF RELIGIOUS
18:09:50 ASSEMBLY IS THE OVERALL SITE
18:09:53 NEEDS TO BE 2,000 SQUARE FEET.
18:09:54 THE TWO LOTS COMBINED COME TO
18:09:58 18,320 SQUARE FEET, SO THEY'RE
18:09:59 APPROXIMATELY 1700 SQUARE FEET
18:10:01 SHORT OF THAT SPECIAL USE
18:10:02 CRITERIA, SO THAT WOULD BE A
18:10:03 WAIVER THAT YOU WOULD NEED TO
18:10:05 APPROVE.
18:10:07 THEY HAVE A WAIVER TO ALLOW FOR
18:10:08 GRASS PARKING SPACES.
18:10:09 THAT'S A COMMON WAIVER REQUEST
18:10:11 THAT WE SEE WITH PLACES OF
18:10:12 RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY.
18:10:14 THE DRIVE AISLE WOULD HAVE TO
18:10:16 BE CONSTRUCTED TO CITY
18:10:16 STANDARDS.
18:10:18 THEY'RE REQUESTING THE PARKING
18:10:22 SPACES BE ALLOWED TO BE GRASS.
18:10:24 THEY ARE REQUESTING TO INCREASE
18:10:26 THE PERCENTAGE OF COMPACT
18:10:28 SPACES.
18:10:28 THE CODE LIMITS THE MAXIMUM
18:10:30 AMOUNT OF COMPACT PARKING
18:10:32 SPACES TO 65% OF THE TOTAL
18:10:35 PARKING LOT CAN BE -- THAT'S
18:10:36 REQUIRED CAN BE COMPACT.
18:10:38 THEY'RE ASKING FOR 100% OF THE
18:10:40 PARKING SPACES TO BE COMPACT
18:10:41 SPACES.
18:10:42 AND THEN THE LAST WAIVER
18:10:44 THEY'RE REQUESTING, BASED ON
18:10:46 THE OCCUPANCY OF THE PLACE OF
18:10:49 RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY, AGAIN,
18:10:52 MAXIMUM OF 43 SEATS, THEY'RE
18:10:53 REQUIRED 13 PARKING SPACES AND
18:10:55 THEY HAVE PROVIDED 11, SO
18:10:56 THEY'RE ASKING FOR A PARKING
18:11:00 WAIVER OF 60% FOR TWO SPACES.
18:11:02 OTHER THAN THAT, THAT COMPLETES
18:11:05 MY PRESENTATION.
18:11:06 THE DEVELOPMENT -- THERE ARE
18:11:07 SEVERAL CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE
18:11:09 DONE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
18:11:10 READING, PRIMARILY JUST
18:11:13 CLEANING UP SOME OF THE DATA
18:11:14 THAT'S ON THE STAFF -- I'M
18:11:18 SORRY, ON THE SITE PLAN BETWEEN
18:11:18 FIRST AND SECOND READING, BUT
18:11:18 THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
18:11:20 COMPLIANCE STAFF DID FIND THIS
18:11:20 INCONSISTENT BECAUSE OF THE
18:11:22 PARKING WAIVER FOR THE TWO
18:11:23 SPACES.
18:11:24 >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
18:11:26 ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
18:11:26 ALL RIGHT.
18:11:27 APPLICANT.
18:11:38 >> I'M THE APPLICANT.
18:11:41 MY NAME IS THOMAS C. HILLS.
18:11:43 I LIVE AT 5805 NORTH 20TH
18:11:44 STREET, TAMPA, FLORIDA.
18:11:48 WE'RE HERE TO HOPEFULLY GET OUR
18:11:51 S-2 PASS.
18:11:55 THIS CHURCH HAD AN S-2 BEFORE,
18:11:59 AND THEY WERE AT AN AREA OF A
18:12:00 JUNCTION OF FINANCES THAT THEY
18:12:01 NEEDED SOME MORE MONEY TO
18:12:02 FINISH THEIR CHURCH, SO THEY
18:12:04 WERE ABLE TO SELL OFF PART OF
18:12:07 THEIR PROPERTY TO GET THEIR
18:12:10 CHURCH FINISHED, AND SO IT
18:12:12 ENDED UP WE'RE WORKING ON THE
18:12:15 CHURCH, THE CHURCH IS JUST
18:12:17 ABOUT TO FINISH NOW, BUT WE
18:12:18 JUST NEED TO GET OUR SITE
18:12:20 APPROVED NOW, AND IF THERE'S
18:12:23 ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING WHAT
18:12:25 WAS JUST EXPLAINED, I'D BE GLAD
18:12:28 TO ANSWER THEM, BUT THEY DID DO
18:12:31 A LOT OF THINGS TO COMPENSATE.
18:12:33 THEY'RE DOING A GRASS PARKING,
18:12:34 BUT THEY'RE DOING A CIRCULAR
18:12:36 ROAD TO GO AROUND THE BACK AND
18:12:38 THEY'RE TEARING DOWN A
18:12:41 STRUCTURE AND ALL THIS TO MAKE
18:12:42 SURE TO GET AROUND TO THE OTHER
18:12:47 SIDE, AND NOW THEY'RE JUST
18:12:47 WAITING.
18:12:48 THEY'RE JUST ABOUT TO SEAL
18:12:49 THEIR PROPERTY OUT.
18:12:50 THEY'RE JUST WAITING TO GET
18:12:52 THEIR SITE APPROVED.
18:12:53 IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, I'D
18:12:55 BE GLAD TO ANSWER.
18:12:55 >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
18:12:57 ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?

18:14:17 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY
18:14:18 SAMANIEGO.
18:14:22 ITEM NO. 4 IS REZ18-126.
18:14:24 IT'S A REZONING FOR THE
18:14:28 PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1529 WEST
18:14:31 NORTH STREET FROM PD TO IG AND
18:14:34 RS-50.
18:14:36 >>JENNIFER MALONE: GOOD
18:14:36 EVENING, COUNCIL.
18:14:37 JENNIFER MALONE WITH YOUR
18:14:38 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
18:14:41 THIS IS LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL
18:14:42 TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT.
18:14:44 THERE IS A TRANSIT STOP ABOUT
18:14:45 280 YARDS AWAY FROM THE SITE AT
18:14:47 THE INTERSECTION OF WEST
18:14:49 KENNEDY BOULEVARD AND NORTH
18:14:51 OREGON AVENUE AND IT IS A LEVEL
18:14:54 C EVACUATION ZONE.
18:14:56 IT IS JUST NORTH OF WEST
18:14:57 KENNEDY BOULEVARD.
18:14:59 THIS IS THAT WALMART
18:15:00 NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER TO THE
18:15:01 SOUTH.
18:15:02 THERE'S A VARIETY OF COMMERCIAL
18:15:05 USES WITHIN THIS AREA AND
18:15:06 RESIDENTIAL, WHICH WILL BE
18:15:08 REFLECTED ON THE FUTURE LAND
18:15:08 USE MAP.
18:15:10 IT HAS TWO FUTURE LAND USES.
18:15:13 THE SUBJECT SITE IS GENERAL
18:15:15 MIXED USE-24, THAT'S THIS
18:15:17 LIGHTER PURPLE COLOR, AND
18:15:18 RESIDENTIAL-20, WHICH IS THE
18:15:19 BROWN.
18:15:20 IT'S A SPLIT PARCEL.
18:15:21 THEY'RE ASKING FOR TWO ZONINGS,
18:15:23 AS MARY ALREADY STATED, SO THE
18:15:24 INDUSTRIAL GENERAL IS ALLOWED
18:15:29 IN THE GENERAL MIXED USE-24
18:15:31 CATEGORY AND THEN THE
18:15:32 RESIDENTIAL IS ALLOWED IN THIS
18:15:33 RESIDENTIAL-20 LAND USE
18:15:34 CATEGORY.
18:15:35 TO THE SOUTH IS GENERAL MIXED
18:15:37 USE-24 AND THEN URBAN MIXED
18:15:39 USE-60 IS ALONG KENNEDY
18:15:40 BOULEVARD.
18:15:42 WE DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT.
18:15:44 THE GENERAL MIXED USE-24 DOES
18:15:45 ALLOW FOR A BROAD RANGE OF LAND
18:15:47 USE CATEGORIES, COMPRISING OF
18:15:48 EVERYTHING FROM SINGLE-FAMILY
18:15:50 TO INDUSTRIAL GENERAL, AND THIS
18:15:53 REQUEST CERTAINLY FALLS UNDER
18:15:55 THAT, AND THIS WILL ALSO
18:15:58 FURTHER SOME OF OUR POLICIES
18:16:00 ABOUT THE -- PROVIDING HOMES
18:16:02 AND -- FOR TAMPA'S POPULATION.
18:16:05 THANK YOU.
18:16:10 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY
18:16:11 SAMANIEGO.
18:16:14 HERE'S AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT
18:16:14 PROPERTY.
18:16:19 IT WAS APPROVED OF AS A PD BACK
18:16:19 IN 2014.
18:16:20 ACTUALLY, IT WAS THE VERY FIRST
18:16:22 CASE THAT I HAD WITH THE CITY
18:16:24 -- WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA.
18:16:25 IT WAS TO MAKE THE EXISTING
18:16:26 WAREHOUSE, WHICH IS STILL
18:16:28 ON-SITE, INTO A PLACE OF
18:16:29 RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY.
18:16:32 THAT PROJECT NEVER CAME INTO
18:16:33 FRUITION.
18:16:34 IT WAS NEVER IMPLEMENTED, SO
18:16:36 NOW WE'RE UNDOING THAT PLANNED
18:16:38 DEVELOPMENT AND GOING BACK TO
18:16:41 INDUSTRIAL GENERAL AND RS-50.
18:16:42 >>HARRY COHEN: SO IT'S BEING
18:16:43 CONVERTED BACK TO EXACTLY WHAT
18:16:45 IT WAS BEFORE?
18:16:46 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: RIGHT.
18:16:50 SO WE PD'D IT, NOW WE'RE
18:16:51 UN-PD'ING IT.
18:16:54 THIS IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
18:16:55 IT IS INDUSTRIAL GENERAL
18:16:59 SURROUNDING IT, AND THIS AREA
18:17:01 THEN RS-50, SO, AGAIN, THE NEW
18:17:02 LINE KIND OF FOLLOWED THE
18:17:07 EXISTING ZONING LINE.
18:17:11 HERE'S THE SUBJECT PROPERTY
18:17:13 FROM ROME, HERE IT IS FROM
18:17:18 NORTH A STREET, MORE OF THE
18:17:18 SUBJECT PROPERTY THAT GOES INTO
18:17:21 THE RS-50 PORTION OR THE
18:17:22 PROPOSED RS-50 PORTION.
18:17:24 ACROSS NORTH ROME IS A
18:17:25 WAREHOUSE.
18:17:26 NORTH OF -- NORTH OF THE SITE
18:17:28 IS ANOTHER WAREHOUSE.
18:17:29 EAST IS A VACANT RESIDENTIAL
18:17:30 LOT.
18:17:34 AND THEN ACROSS NORTH A IS THE
18:17:40 WALMART NEIGHBORHOOD STORE.
18:17:43 BOTH SECTIONS OF THE PROPERTY,
18:17:44 THE SECTION THAT IS GOING TO BE
18:17:47 REZONED TO IG MEETS THE IG
18:17:48 STANDARDS FOR LOT AREA AND
18:17:50 DIMENSIONS, AND THEN RS-50
18:17:52 MEETS THOSE ZONING STANDARDS.
18:17:55 THERE IS NO SITE PLAN TO REVIEW
18:17:58 BECAUSE IT'S EUCLIDEAN REZONING
18:17:59 AND ALSO NO WAIVERS TO
18:18:00 CONSIDER.
18:18:01 SO OVERALL THE DEVELOPMENT
18:18:03 REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF
18:18:04 FOUND THIS CONSISTENT WITH THE
18:18:06 NEW TAMPA CODE OF ORDINANCES.
18:18:07 >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
18:18:10 ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
18:18:11 MR. SUAREZ.
18:18:13 >>MIKE SUAREZ: MS. SAMANIEGO,
18:18:13 MAYBE YOU CAN ANSWER THE
18:18:15 QUESTION FOR ME.
18:18:16 YOU KNOW, THAT PARTICULAR AREA
18:18:17 HAS GOTTEN A LOT MORE
18:18:19 RESIDENTIAL IN THE LAST EIGHT
18:18:20 YEARS SINCE WE'VE BEEN ON
18:18:21 COUNCIL HERE, AND NOW WE'RE
18:18:23 CHANGING SOMETHING BACK TO
18:18:24 INDUSTRIAL GENERAL, WHICH WAS
18:18:26 ORIGINALLY A PD.
18:18:28 WHAT'S THE FUTURE LAND USE SAY
18:18:30 IN TERMS OF WHAT SHOULD BE --
18:18:33 BEING SEEN THERE NOW WITH ALL
18:18:33 THE CHANGES THAT HAVE HAPPENED
18:18:35 OVER THE LAST EIGHT YEARS?
18:18:38 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: I BELIEVE
18:18:39 THAT JENNIFER MALONE STATED
18:18:40 THAT THE FUTURE LAND USE
18:18:43 DESIGNATION WAS GMU-24, WHICH
18:18:46 IS KIND OF A -- JENNIFER, I
18:18:47 DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR YOU.
18:18:48 OKAY.
18:18:49 >>MIKE SUAREZ: BUT I WANTED YOU
18:18:50 TO SPEAK FOR HER.
18:18:52 I'M KIDDING.
18:18:54 MS. MALONE, COME ON UP.
18:18:55 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: IT WAS
18:18:56 HISTORICALLY A WAREHOUSE
18:18:57 DISTRIBUTION AREA, IT'S
18:18:59 TRANSITIONING OVER TO
18:19:00 RESIDENTIAL, BUT SOME OF THE
18:19:02 WAREHOUSE USES IN THAT AREA
18:19:03 INTEND TO REMAIN.
18:19:04 >>MIKE SUAREZ: THAT'S MY
18:19:04 QUESTION.
18:19:06 IS THE INTENTION OF THE FUTURE
18:19:07 LAND USE PLAN TO CONTINUE TO
18:19:10 HAVE THAT, YOU KNOW, IN PLACE,
18:19:12 THAT TYPE OF USE, AS OPPOSED TO
18:19:15 WHAT WE HAVE SEEN ALREADY WITH
18:19:16 THE CHANGES, BECAUSE,
18:19:18 OBVIOUSLY, WE ALREADY SAW ONE
18:19:20 PD NOW IS BEING CHANGED BACK TO
18:19:22 WHAT ITS ORIGINAL USE WAS, AND
18:19:23 WE HAVEN'T SEEN TOO MANY OF
18:19:24 THESE HAPPEN LIKE THIS IN THIS
18:19:27 AREA.
18:19:27 >>JENNIFER MALONE: YES.
18:19:28 I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE
18:19:29 SAYING, AT LEAST ESPECIALLY
18:19:31 SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, MOST OF
18:19:34 THESE GMU-24S HAVE REALLY BEEN
18:19:36 TRANSITIONING TO -- THROUGH
18:19:38 COMP PLAN AMENDMENTS TO CMU-35
18:19:40 IN THIS AREA, AND THOSE ARE
18:19:43 GOING TO PDS TO RESIDENTIAL.
18:19:44 THE PLANNING COMMISSION, IT'S
18:19:45 MY UNDERSTANDING, THAT THE
18:19:47 GMU-24 WAS PUT ON THESE
18:19:48 PROPERTIES IN THESE HISTORIC
18:19:51 AREAS THAT EXISTED BEFORE
18:19:54 ZONING THAT WERE -- ALWAYS HAD
18:19:55 A VARIETY OF USES, AND THIS
18:19:58 AREA IS SEEING A BIG SHIFT.
18:19:59 THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN -- BUT
18:20:00 THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HASN'T
18:20:02 REALLY SET ANY DIRECTION FOR
18:20:05 THIS AREA SPECIFICALLY ABOUT
18:20:06 HOW IT SHOULD SHIFT, AND RIGHT
18:20:08 NOW, PER THE MATRIX IN THE
18:20:10 CODE, IT STILL ALLOWS ALL OF
18:20:12 THOSE USES.
18:20:15 IF IT'S COUNCIL'S DISCRETION,
18:20:16 YOU KNOW, WE COULD CERTAINLY
18:20:19 LOOK INTO IF WE WANT TO TIGHTEN
18:20:22 UP THIS CATEGORY OR CHANGE IT
18:20:24 SOMEHOW PER COUNCIL.
18:20:25 >>MIKE SUAREZ: I JUST WANTED TO
18:20:26 MAKE SURE THAT THERE WASN'T ANY
18:20:28 MOVE AFOOT WITH THE PLANNING
18:20:29 COMMISSION CONCERNING, YOU
18:20:30 KNOW, CHANGING COMPREHENSIVE
18:20:31 PLAN OR MAKING THE SUGGESTION
18:20:34 TO US TO DO THAT BECAUSE OF THE
18:20:35 CHANGES THAT WE'VE SEEN, AND I
18:20:37 KNOW THAT SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW,
18:20:38 WE'RE BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL,
18:20:38 REALLY.
18:20:40 WE'RE JUST TRYING TO CATCH UP
18:20:41 ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
18:20:43 WE NEVER -- YOU KNOW, IF WE
18:20:46 CHANGE IT AND WE DO THINGS ON A
18:20:48 PIECEMEAL BASIS, WE DON'T SEE A
18:20:50 WHOLESALE CHANGE, BUT WHEN I
18:20:51 SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS CHANGE
18:20:52 BACK TO SOMETHING ELSE, I'M
18:20:53 WONDERING WHAT THE NEXT STEPS
18:20:54 ARE GOING TO BE FOR THE FUTURE
18:20:56 OF THE REST OF THE PARCELS THAT
18:20:57 ARE THERE THAT ARE CURRENTLY
18:20:59 ALREADY GRANDFATHERED IN FROM
18:21:00 PREVIOUS ZONING AND LAND USE
18:21:01 CHANGES, SO --
18:21:02 >>JENNIFER MALONE: RIGHT, THE
18:21:03 NEIGHBORHOOD AS A WHOLE.
18:21:04 >>MIKE SUAREZ: EXACTLY.
18:21:05 >>JENNIFER MALONE: I
18:21:06 UNDERSTAND.
18:21:06 >>MIKE SUAREZ: AND I DON'T
18:21:08 THINK WE'VE DONE A LOOK AT THAT
18:21:09 SINCE ALL THE CHANGES THAT HAVE
18:21:11 HAPPENED, SO THAT MIGHT BE
18:21:12 SOMETHING, IF NOT THIS COUNCIL,
18:21:13 DEFINITELY THE NEXT COUNCIL
18:21:15 SHOULD PROBABLY LOOK AT BECAUSE
18:21:17 THAT IS GOING FROM WHAT IT WAS
18:21:19 ONCE BEFORE, AS YOU SAID, A
18:21:21 WAREHOUSE DISTRICT, INTO MOSTLY
18:21:22 RESIDENTIAL, SO --
18:21:23 >>JENNIFER MALONE: YES.
18:21:24 >>MIKE SUAREZ: -- YOU KNOW,
18:21:25 WHAT'S GOING TO BE OUR NEXT
18:21:25 STEPS?
18:21:26 >>JENNIFER MALONE: YES.
18:21:27 IT IS RAPIDLY CHANGING,
18:21:28 COUNCILMAN, AND WE CAN
18:21:29 CERTAINLY LOOK INTO THIS
18:21:30 THROUGH A STUDY OR AN AREAWIDE
18:21:34 STUDY PER COUNCIL'S DISCRETION,
18:21:35 EITHER THIS COUNCIL OR THE NEXT
18:21:36 COUNCIL.
18:21:37 >>MIKE SUAREZ: MAYBE I'LL GIVE
18:21:38 THE NEXT COUNCIL SOMETHING TO
18:21:39 DO.
18:21:40 THANK YOU, MS. MALONE.
18:21:40 >>JENNIFER MALONE: THANK YOU
18:21:40 FOR THE QUESTION.
18:21:42 >>HARRY COHEN: THEY'LL HAVE
18:21:43 PLENTY TO DO.
18:21:43 >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
18:21:45 APPLICANT.
18:21:48 >> THEY'LL CATCH UP SOON.
18:21:50 >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN,
18:21:51 COUNCIL MEMBERS.
18:21:55 I'M JAMES CATALANO, 2119 WEST
18:21:56 CASS STREET.
18:21:58 THE ONLY THING I CAN ADD TO THE
18:22:00 -- TO THE STAFF REPORT IS JUST
18:22:02 A LITTLE BIT EXPLANATION THAT
18:22:05 MIGHT CLARIFY WHAT'S GOING ON
18:22:07 HERE BECAUSE, ACTUALLY, WHAT
18:22:10 WILL HAPPEN IS WE'LL BE
18:22:14 RECREATING TWO RESIDENTIAL
18:22:14 LOTS.
18:22:16 WHEN A TENANT APPROACHED MY
18:22:18 CLIENT, THEY HAD THE INTENDED
18:22:22 USE OF PLACE OF WORSHIP, AND AS
18:22:26 IG, WE -- WE MISSED THAT BY ONE
18:22:27 BOX, THAT CATEGORY BY ONE BOX,
18:22:30 SO, THEREFORE, THE SITE PLAN,
18:22:31 PD PLAN HAD TO BE CREATED TO
18:22:35 ALLOW THE USE A PLACE OF
18:22:35 WORSHIP.
18:22:41 THAT SITE PLAN ENVELOPES THE
18:22:42 ENTIRE PARCEL.
18:22:44 THESE ARE THE TWO RESIDENTIAL
18:22:44 LOTS.
18:22:47 THIS IS THE EXISTING BUILDING
18:22:50 AND THE EXISTING TAPED AREA, SO
18:22:52 THESE TWO RESIDENTIAL LOTS
18:22:53 COULD BE RETURNING TO THEIR
18:22:55 ORIGINAL USE.
18:22:57 THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
18:22:58 I KNOW YOU'VE GOT A LONG
18:23:00 AGENDA, AND IN THE INTEREST OF
18:23:01 BREVITY, I CAN CLOSE IT.
18:23:02 >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS
18:23:03 FOR THE PETITIONER?
18:23:04 >>MIKE SUAREZ: YEAH.
18:23:04 THE QUESTION I HAD.
18:23:06 SO YOU WERE ON THE ORIGINAL PD
18:23:07 ZONING?
18:23:08 >> YES.
18:23:08 >>MIKE SUAREZ: OKAY.
18:23:12 SO RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE -- THE
18:23:13 USE IS WHAT, WHAT IS THE USE
18:23:14 NOW?
18:23:18 >> PLACE OF --
18:23:18 >>MIKE SUAREZ: IT'S SILL STILL
18:23:20 A PLACE OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY.
18:23:21 >> -- OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY AND
18:23:23 THE OFFICES ASSOCIATED WITH
18:23:23 THAT.
18:23:24 >>MIKE SUAREZ: RIGHT.
18:23:25 SO THE CHANGE-BACK MEANS WHAT,
18:23:26 WHY ARE YOU DOING IT?
18:23:28 >> THAT'S A VERY LIMITED USE.
18:23:30 THAT TENANT IS NO LONGER
18:23:30 VIABLE.
18:23:31 THEY'RE NOT THERE.
18:23:33 THEY NEVER INVOKED THE
18:23:34 ENTITLEMENT, AND, THEREFORE,
18:23:35 THE OWNER WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK

18:27:37 ACROSS BUSCH BOULEVARD STRIP
18:27:38 COMMERCIAL CENTER, AND THEN A
18:27:41 SMALL OFFICE TO THE EAST.
18:27:43 THIS IS A EUCLIDEAN REZONING

18:27:45 ALL DEVELOPMENT WOULD HAVE TO
18:27:46 COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE
18:27:49 STANDARDS OF THE CG ZONING
18:27:49 DISTRICT.
18:27:50 THERE IS NO SITE PLAN TO

18:29:41 >>JENNIFER MALONE: JENNIFER

18:29:43 COMMISSION.
18:29:45 WE ARE IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA
18:29:47 PLANNING DISTRICT WITHIN EAST
18:29:48 TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE.
18:29:49 THIS IS NOT LOCATED WITHIN AN
18:29:50 EVACUATION ZONE.
18:29:52 BUS ROUTE 32 DOES SERVE THE
18:29:53 SUBJECT SITE.
18:29:55 JACKSON HEIGHTS PARK IS THE
18:29:56 CLOSEST PUBLIC RECREATIONAL
18:29:59 FACILITY TO THE SITE.
18:30:00 THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE
18:30:03 OUTLINED IN THE PURPLE.
18:30:05 THERE'S A DISTRIBUTION CENTER
18:30:09 TO THE SOUTH ALONG EAST MARTIN
18:30:10 LUTHER KING JR. BOULEVARD AND
18:30:11 THIS IS NORTH 38TH.
18:30:15 TO THE NORTH OF EAST MARTIN

18:30:21 VARIETY OF RESIDENTIAL USES,

18:30:26 COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL-35 IS THE

18:30:29 INTENSIVE USES.
18:30:31 THE SUBJECT SITE IS
18:30:32 RESIDENTIAL-35 FUTURE LAND USE
18:30:34 CATEGORY AND THEN THE ORANGE IS
18:30:36 RESIDENTIAL-10, SO THAT'S
18:30:37 SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED.
18:30:38 WE DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT
18:30:40 WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
18:30:42 AS I'VE STATED BEFORE, IT DOES
18:30:44 SEEK TO ENSURE AN ADEQUATE
18:30:46 SUPPLY OF HOUSING FOR TAMPA'S
18:30:46 GROWING POPULATION.
18:30:49 WE DID FIND THAT THIS WOULD --
18:30:51 THIS REZONING REQUEST WOULD
18:30:54 PROVIDE MULTIFAMILY HOUSING IN
18:30:56 AN AREA OF THE CITY THAT WE
18:30:58 FELT THAT THE LAND WAS
18:30:59 UNDERUTILIZED AND VACANT RIGHT
18:31:02 NOW, SO WE DID FIND THAT
18:31:03 CONSISTENT WITH THE POLICY, AND
18:31:04 THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
18:31:07 THANK YOU.

18:31:20 PROPERTY.
18:31:22 THIS IS MLK.
18:31:25 THIS IS 37TH -- 38TH STREET.
18:31:27 ACCORDING TO THE PLAT, THERE'S
18:31:30 -- THE RIGHT-OF-WAY GOES ALL
18:31:31 THE WAY THROUGH AND CONNECTS TO
18:31:33 IDA, BUT THE ROADWAY HAS NOT
18:31:35 BEEN IMPROVED, SO, IN EFFECT,
18:31:38 38TH STREET IS LIKE A DEAD END.
18:31:38 THE NORTHERN THIRD OF THE
18:31:43 PROPERTY'S IN THE RS-50 ZONING
18:31:44 DISTRICT AND THEN THE REMAINING
18:31:46 PORTION IS IN THE RM-16.
18:31:47 THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY
18:31:47 OCCUPIED BY A SEMI-DETACHED
18:31:50 UNIT WITH TWO DWELLING UNITS, A
18:31:50 STRUCTURE WITH TWO DWELLING

18:32:06 LOT, AND ANOTHER MULTIUNIT

18:32:25 REQUESTING, RM-24, GIVEN THE

18:32:30 EIGHT DWELLING UNITS, PROVIDED
18:32:31 THEY'D MEET ALL CODE
18:32:33 REQUIREMENTS AT TIME OF
18:32:33 PERMITTING.
18:32:35 THERE IS NO SITE PLAN TO REVIEW
18:32:36 AND NO WAIVERS.
18:32:37 THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND
18:32:38 COMPLIANCE STAFF FOUND THIS

18:40:06 EVENING IS REZ19-07.
18:40:07 IT'S A REQUEST FOR A PLANNED
18:40:09 DEVELOPMENT FOR HOTEL,
18:40:10 MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL,
18:40:11 BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL, AND
18:40:12 RESTAURANT.
18:40:14 THE EXISTING ZONING IS CI, AND
18:40:16 IT IS LOCATED AT 820 EAST BUSCH
18:40:20 BOULEVARD.
18:40:20 >>JENNIFER MALONE: JENNIFER
18:40:22 MALONE WITH YOUR PLANNING
18:40:22 COMMISSION STAFF.
18:40:23 THIS IS IN THE UNIVERSITY
18:40:26 PLANNING DISTRICT.
18:40:28 HART METRORAPID SERVICE
18:40:31 ACTUALLY IS -- SERVES THE
18:40:34 SUBJECT SITE ALONG NEBRASKA
18:40:34 AVENUE.
18:40:36 IT IS WITHIN A LEVEL E
18:40:37 EVACUATION ZONE, AND THE
18:40:38 CLOSEST PUBLIC RECREATIONAL
18:40:41 FACILITY IS SPRING HILL PARK.
18:40:43 IT'S LOCATED ALONG EAST BUSCH
18:40:44 BOULEVARD.
18:40:46 THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN
18:40:47 THE PURPLE.
18:40:49 THIS IS THE INTERSTATE 275
18:40:50 RAMP, AND THEN I HAVE NORTH
18:40:53 NEBRASKA RIGHT HERE.
18:40:58 THIS IS AN AUTO LOT TO THE SOUTH
18:40:59 AND THEN COMMERCIAL USES ALONG
18:41:01 EAST BUSCH AND NORTH NEBRASKA,
18:41:03 WHICH ARE REFLECTED ON THE
18:41:04 FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
18:41:05 THE RED IS COMMUNITY
18:41:06 COMMERCIAL-35.
18:41:07 THAT ALLOWS FOR UP TO
18:41:09 COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE USES.
18:41:11 TO THE NORTH IS RESIDENTIAL-20,
18:41:15 AND TO THE SOUTH IS THAT LIGHT
18:41:17 INDUSTRIAL IS THE GRAY, SO IT'S
18:41:17 A VERY INTENSIVE CORRIDOR FROM
18:41:20 OUR LAND USE PERSPECTIVE.
18:41:21 THE PROPOSED PLANNED
18:41:22 DEVELOPMENT IN FRONT OF YOU
18:41:23 DOES PROVIDE FOR THE
18:41:23 REDEVELOPMENT OF A CURRENTLY
18:41:27 VACANT SITE WITH A MIXTURE OF
18:41:28 RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, AND A
18:41:29 HOTEL USE, AND ONE OF THE
18:41:31 STRUCTURES DOES PROVIDE FOR
18:41:33 SOME VERTICAL INTEGRATION OF
18:41:34 THE TWO DIFFERENT USES, WHICH
18:41:37 IS SUPPORTED BY OUR
18:41:38 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES
18:41:40 CITED IN OUR REPORT.
18:41:41 WE ALSO -- THE PLANNING
18:41:42 COMMISSION WAS SUPPORTIVE OF
18:41:44 HOW THE APPLICANT WORKS TO
18:41:47 ACTIVATE THE NORTH -- I'M
18:41:49 SORRY, HE WORKED TO ACTIVATE
18:41:51 THE NEBRASKA CORRIDOR THROUGH
18:41:54 THE SITE DEVELOPMENT, AND THERE
18:41:55 ARE CLEAR PEDESTRIAN PATHWAYS
18:41:57 THAT CONNECT THE MAIN ENTRANCE
18:41:59 TO THE PROPOSED BUILDINGS AND
18:42:01 SIDEWALKS ALONG THE ADJACENT
18:42:03 PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY, THAT ALL
18:42:05 TIES BACK TO OUR COMPREHENSIVE
18:42:06 PLAN POLICIES, SO WITH THAT, WE
18:42:12 FOUND IT CONSISTENT.
18:42:13 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY
18:42:15 SAMANIEGO, LAND DEVELOPMENT
18:42:16 COORDINATION.
18:42:17 JENNIFER SHOWED YOU AN AERIAL
18:42:21 OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
18:42:25 IT IS CURRENTLY ZONED CI.
18:42:26 MOST -- ALL OF THE USES COULD
18:42:27 BE DEVELOPED UNDER THE CURRENT
18:42:34 CI ZONING DISTRICT AND AT THE
18:42:35 CURRENT DENSITY THAT THEY'RE
18:42:37 REQUESTING.
18:42:38 THE ALLOWABLE FLOOR-TO-AREA
18:42:40 RATIO IS 1.5.
18:42:41 BECAUSE THEY GET THE AUTOMATIC
18:42:45 BUMP UP FOR THE COMMUNITY MIXED
18:42:45 USE LAND USE CATEGORY THAT
18:42:47 THEY'RE IN, BEING THAT THE SITE
18:42:50 IS OVER .35 ACRES, THEY'RE ON
18:42:51 AN ARTERIAL, AND THEY HAVE
18:42:55 VERTICALLY INTEGRATED USES, SO
18:42:59 THEIR PROPOSED FLOOR-TO-AREA
18:43:03 RATIO, I BELIEVE, IS 1.48.
18:43:05 THEY ARE REQUESTING -- LET ME
18:43:06 JUST SHOW YOU.
18:43:09 HOLD ON.
18:43:10 THE SUBJECT PROPERTY'S
18:43:12 COMPLETELY VACANT.
18:43:13 SHE ALREADY KIND OF SHOWED YOU
18:43:15 SOME PICTURES, BUT HERE'S THE
18:43:18 CAR DEALERSHIP THAT'S AT THE
18:43:19 EXACT CORNER OF NEBRASKA AND
18:43:20 BUSCH.
18:43:21 ACROSS THE STREET IS THE
18:43:22 TROPICAL CAR WASH THAT'S ACROSS
18:43:23 BUSCH.
18:43:26 ACROSS NEBRASKA IS A WAREHOUSE
18:43:31 USE, GAS STATION, SANDWICH
18:43:32 SHOP, AND DIRECTLY TO THE NORTH
18:43:33 OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS A
18:43:38 SMALL RETAIL USE.
18:43:39 I KNOW THE APPLICANT WILL GO
18:43:41 INTO A THOROUGH PRESENTATION OF
18:43:43 THEIR SITE PLAN, BUT I WILL
18:43:46 JUST HIT THE HIGH NOTES, AS IT
18:43:47 WERE.
18:43:52 THEY ARE ASKING FOR -- THE
18:43:55 ENTIRE SITE IS 3.41 ACRES.
18:43:58 THEY ARE ASKING FOR A
18:43:59 MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL
18:44:01 APARTMENT BUILDING WITH 144
18:44:04 DWELLING UNITS.
18:44:06 IT WILL ALSO BE ALLOWED TO HAVE
18:44:09 4,302 SQUARE FEET OF
18:44:11 BUSINESS/PROFESSIONAL OFFICE,
18:44:14 AND A LITTLE OVER 2,000 SQUARE
18:44:14 FEET OF RESTAURANT.
18:44:15 THEY ARE PROPOSING A SMALL
18:44:16 COFFEE SHOP IN THIS LOCATION,
18:44:18 AND THEN THEY'RE PROPOSING FIVE
18:44:20 VERY SMALL STRUCTURES, KIND OF
18:44:24 LIKE FOOD KIOSKS FOR DIFFERENT
18:44:25 RESTAURANTS THAT WOULD BE ALONG
18:44:27 NEBRASKA AND ALONG THE SOUTHERN
18:44:27 PROPERTY LINE.
18:44:29 THIS IS WHERE THAT CAR
18:44:30 DEALERSHIP IS, NEBRASKA AND
18:44:33 BUSCH.
18:44:35 AND THEN THE OTHER MAIN PART IS
18:44:38 THAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR
18:44:41 53,200-SQUARE-FOOT BUILDING IN
18:44:44 THIS LOCATION WITH A MAXIMUM OF
18:44:50 127 HOTEL ROOMS.
18:44:53 AGAIN, THE ENTIRE SITE IS 3.41
18:44:53 ACRES.
18:44:57 IT IS VACANT.
18:45:00 LET'S JUST GO INTO THE WAIVERS.
18:45:03 THEY -- THE EXISTING SITE DID
18:45:06 HAVE A HOTEL ON IT, AND THERE
18:45:07 ARE EXISTING TREES THAT WERE
18:45:11 KIND OF REMNANTS OF THE
18:45:13 LANDSCAPE, PARKING ISLANDS THAT
18:45:16 WERE ON-SITE; HOWEVER, THERE
18:45:17 WAS SOME TREES KIND OF ALONG
18:45:20 THE PROPERTY.
18:45:22 THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A
18:45:25 WAIVER TO REMOVE 100% OR 81 OF
18:45:27 THE EXISTING TREES ON-SITE.
18:45:29 BECAUSE OF THE SITE PLAN DESIGN
18:45:33 THAT THEY ARE PROPOSING,
18:45:35 THERE'S VERY LIMITED GREENSPACE
18:45:36 ON THE SITE.
18:45:38 THIS IS -- SORRY.
18:45:39 THIS IS THE APARTMENT BUILDING
18:45:41 WITH THE COFFEE SHOP AND SOME
18:45:42 OFFICE USES.
18:45:45 THIS IS THE HOTEL WITH THE POOL
18:45:47 AND PAVEMENT, AND THEN THESE
18:45:49 ARE THE KIOSKS.
18:45:51 THE ONLY GREENSPACE ON THE SITE
18:45:53 ARE SMALL AREAS ALONG THE
18:45:57 PROPERTY LINE AND A FEW
18:45:58 LANDSCAPE ISLANDS.
18:46:00 THERE IS NOT ENOUGH LAND TO
18:46:01 PLANT ALL THE REQUIRED
18:46:03 MITIGATION TREES IF THEY'RE
18:46:05 REMOVING 100% OF THE TREES
18:46:07 ON-SITE, SO THAT'S A SECOND
18:46:07 WAIVER THAT THEY NEED, TO PAY
18:46:09 INTO THE TREE TRUST FUND FOR
18:46:12 REQUIRED TREES AND MITIGATION.
18:46:13 AND THE THIRD WAIVER THEY'RE
18:46:14 REQUESTING, BASED ON THE
18:46:15 COMBINATION OF USES, THEY'RE
18:46:21 REQUIRED TO HAVE 434 PARKING
18:46:22 SPACES.
18:46:24 THEY'RE REQUESTING 239, SO THAT
18:46:26 IS A 45% REDUCTION, ALMOST A
18:46:28 200-SPACE PARKING WAIVER
18:46:30 REQUEST.
18:46:32 THEY'RE ASKING TO HAVE TANDEM
18:46:35 PARKING SPACES FOR VALET USES
18:46:39 IN THIS AREA; WHEREAS, YOU CAN
18:46:41 SEE THERE'S NO DRIVE AISLE TO
18:46:43 ACCESS THESE, IT WOULD BE
18:46:45 TANDEM, SIMILAR TO IF YOU HAVE
18:46:47 A ONE-CAR GARAGE, FOR A
18:46:48 SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE YOU PARK
18:46:49 BEHIND THE OTHER CAR.
18:46:51 THE CODE ONLY ALLOWS TANDEM
18:46:52 PARKING FOR SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS,
18:46:54 SO THIS IS A WAIVER REQUEST.
18:46:55 THEY WERE WANTING IT TO BE FOR
18:46:58 VALET ONLY.
18:46:59 THE CODE DOESN'T RECOGNIZE
18:47:01 VALET ONLY ALLOWING TANDEM
18:47:03 PARKING SPACES, SO THAT'S A
18:47:06 WAIVER REQUEST.
18:47:07 THE FIFTH WAIVER IS THE CODE
18:47:11 REQUIRES WHERE YOU HAVE A
18:47:13 PARKING LOT UP AGAINST A
18:47:16 RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE, YOU'RE
18:47:17 SUPPOSED TO HAVE EIGHT FEET OF
18:47:19 LANDSCAPING BETWEEN THE PARKING
18:47:21 LOT AND THE FRONT PROPERTY
18:47:21 LINE.
18:47:23 THEY'RE REQUESTING TO GO DOWN
18:47:25 TO THREE FEET.
18:47:28 AND THEN DOWN HERE THERE WOULD
18:47:29 BE -- THERE'S NO LANDSCAPING IN
18:47:31 THIS AREA.
18:47:33 ACTUALLY, I'M SORRY, I CORRECT
18:47:34 THAT.
18:47:34 IT WOULD NOT BE REQUIRED
18:47:35 BECAUSE THE VEHICLE USE AREA'S
18:47:36 BACK HERE.
18:47:37 I CORRECT THAT.
18:47:40 SO IT WOULD BE THIS AREA IS THE
18:47:41 SUBJECT -- IS SUPPOSED TO BE
18:47:42 EIGHT FEET OF LANDSCAPING AND
18:47:43 GREENSPACE.
18:47:46 THEY'RE ASKING FOR THREE FEET.
18:47:48 THE NEXT WAIVER THAT THEY
18:47:50 REQUESTED, WAIVER NO. 6, WAS AN
18:47:53 ERROR ON MY PART, ERROR ON THE
18:47:55 STAFF REPORT.
18:47:57 IT'S NOT REQUIRED.
18:47:59 IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THERE WAS
18:47:59 RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES.
18:48:00 WHEN THIS APPLICATION FIRST
18:48:03 CAME IN, IT WAS FOR AN
18:48:04 EIGHT-ACRE PIECE.
18:48:05 THEY REDUCED THE SIZE.
18:48:06 WHEN IT WAS AN EIGHT-ACRE
18:48:07 PIECE, IT ADJOINED
18:48:09 SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSES, BUT WHEN
18:48:11 THEY REDUCED IT, IT NO LONGER
18:48:13 ADJOINED SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSES,
18:48:15 IT ADJOINS THE REMAINDER OF THE
18:48:17 OLD SITE, SO LONG STORY SHORT,
18:48:19 WAIVER 6 IS NO LONGER REQUIRED.
18:48:20 AND THEN THE LAST WAIVER
18:48:25 REQUEST IS TO ALLOW FOR
18:48:28 SUBSTANDARD LANDSCAPE ISLANDS.
18:48:29 LANDSCAPE ISLANDS ARE SUPPOSED
18:48:31 TO BE 12 FEET CURB-TO-CURB
18:48:32 INTERIOR.
18:48:35 AGAIN, YOU'VE REVIEWED THE
18:48:36 LANDSCAPE CODE VERY THOROUGHLY,
18:48:38 I KNOW, OVER THE PAST YEAR, TO
18:48:40 ALLOW ADEQUATE PLACE FOR
18:48:41 PLANTING A TREE IN A LANDSCAPE
18:48:42 AISLE, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE 12
18:48:44 FEET CURB-TO-CURB.
18:48:45 THIS IS APPROXIMATELY EIGHT
18:48:46 FEET.
18:48:48 ALSO, THERE'S SUPPOSED TO BE
18:48:49 ONE LANDSCAPE ISLAND FOR EVERY
18:48:50 TEN PARKING SPACES.
18:48:52 THIS WHOLE ROW OF PARKING IN
18:48:53 THE BACK DOESN'T HAVE ANY
18:49:01 LANDSCAPE ISLANDS.
18:49:02 THERE ARE SEVERAL CHANGES
18:49:04 BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
18:49:06 READING FROM LAND DEVELOPMENT
18:49:08 STAFF, TRANSPORTATION, AND
18:49:10 NATURAL RESOURCES.
18:49:13 THIS SITE IS NOT IN AN OVERLAY
18:49:13 ZONING DISTRICT.
18:49:15 IT IS NOT IN A HISTORIC
18:49:16 DISTRICT.
18:49:17 SO ONLY THE BASIC MINIMUM
18:49:20 STANDARDS OF THE CODE APPLY.
18:49:21 THE SITE IS CURRENTLY VACANT,
18:49:24 SO THERE IS NO EXISTING
18:49:27 STRUCTURES THAT THEY HAVE TO
18:49:28 DEVELOP AROUND OR MASSAGE THE
18:49:29 SITE TO FIT IN.
18:49:31 THEY'RE REQUESTING TO REMOVE
18:49:33 100% OF THE TREES.
18:49:34 THEY WERE ALMOST AT THE MAXIMUM
18:49:38 FLOOR-TO-AREA RATIO, BUT YET
18:49:40 THEY'RE REQUESTING A 45%
18:49:41 PARKING REDUCTION.
18:49:42 STAFF DOES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
18:49:43 THEY ARE A TRANSIT EMPHASIS
18:49:44 CORRIDOR.
18:49:45 THERE IS A BUS STOP.
18:49:47 THEY ARE PROPOSING SOME BICYCLE
18:49:48 PARKING AND SOME SCOOTER
18:49:49 PARKING, SO THAT ALLEVIATES
18:49:52 SOME OF THE CONCERNS WITH THE
18:49:54 PARKING WAIVER, BUT, AGAIN,
18:49:56 IT'S ALMOST 200 SPACES WAIVED,
18:49:58 AND THERE'S NO ON-STREET
18:49:59 PARKING ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THIS.
18:50:01 THERE'S CERTAINLY NO ON-STREET
18:50:04 PARKING ON THE RAMP, BUSCH, OR
18:50:05 NEBRASKA.
18:50:07 THE ONLY PLACE THEY COULD DO
18:50:08 LOCAL ON-STREET PARKING WOULD
18:50:09 BE HERE.
18:50:11 ALSO, THERE ARE SEVERAL
18:50:13 GREENSPACE PROVISIONS THAT THEY
18:50:18 COULD EASILY REMEDY TO REMOVE
18:50:18 SOME OF THE WAIVERS, BUT THEY
18:50:18 HAVE CHOSEN TO COME FORWARD
18:50:19 WITH THE PLAN OF RECORD THAT I
18:50:20 JUST PRESENTED.
18:50:22 SO BECAUSE OF THE WAIVER
18:50:26 REQUESTS TO TREES AND
18:50:29 LANDSCAPING AND PARKING, LAND
18:50:29 DEVELOPMENT FOUND IT
18:50:31 INCONSISTENT; TRANSPORTATION
18:50:33 FOUND IT INCONSISTENT FOR
18:50:34 PARKING; AND NATURAL RESOURCES
18:50:35 SPECIFICALLY FOUND IT
18:50:37 INCONSISTENT FOR TREE
18:50:39 REQUIREMENTS AND GREENSPACE;
18:50:40 HOWEVER, SHOULD IT BE THE
18:50:42 PLEASURE OF COUNCIL TO APPROVE
18:50:44 THE WAIVERS, PLEASE NOTE THE
18:50:46 MODIFICATIONS BETWEEN FIRST AND
18:50:47 SECOND READING AS WELL AS THE
18:50:51 REMOVAL OF WAIVER NO. 6.
18:50:53 >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS?
18:50:54 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: DO YOU HAVE
18:50:55 ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS FOR ME?
18:50:57 >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS
18:50:57 FROM COUNCIL?
18:50:58 ALL RIGHT.
18:51:00 THE APPLICANT.
18:51:31 >> TECHNOLOGY ONLY GOES SO FAR.
18:52:27 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: BEFORE WE
18:52:28 BEGIN, WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THE
18:52:29 MOTEL THAT WAS THERE?
18:52:30 >> THE NAME OF IT THAT WAS
18:52:31 THERE?
18:52:31 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YEAH.
18:52:32 >> I DON'T KNOW --
18:52:33 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: [OFF
18:52:35 MICROPHONE] AND THEN IT WAS A
18:52:36 RAMADA INN.
18:52:38 >> I THINK IT WAS A RAMADA.
18:52:40 >>MIKE SUAREZ: IT WAS A RAMADA.
18:52:41 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I'M THINKING
18:52:43 GOING BACK TO THE '60S AND
18:52:43 '70S.
18:52:44 >>MIKE SUAREZ: IT HAD THE
18:52:45 INTERIOR DOME THING.
18:52:47 THAT'S WHERE I GOT MY INSURANCE
18:52:48 LICENSE, YOU WENT THERE FOR
18:52:49 CLASSES EVERY WEEK FOR, YOU
18:52:51 KNOW, NINE WEEKS, SO I'M VERY
18:52:59 FAMILIAR WITH THE OLD PLACE.
18:53:01 >> I GOT MY WHOLE TEAM UP HERE
18:53:03 WITH ME, COUNCIL.
18:53:04 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THAT'S IT?
18:53:05 I THOUGHT YOU HAD MORE.
18:53:06 >> SORRY WE COULDN'T BRING
18:53:07 MORE.
18:53:08 [LAUGHTER]
18:53:08 GOOD EVENING.
18:53:11 DAVID SINGER WITH THE LAW FIRM
18:53:15 OF SHUMAKER LOOP KENDRICK, 101
18:53:15 EAST KENNEDY.
18:53:16 AS STAFF INDICATED TO YOU,
18:53:17 WE'RE LOOKING TO ACTIVATE A
18:53:18 VACANT PARCEL IN A PART OF THE
18:53:20 CITY THAT IS BADLY IN NEED OF
18:53:21 DEVELOPMENT.
18:53:23 THIS 3.4 ACRES IS THE GATEWAY
18:53:25 TO THE INNOVATION DISTRICT.
18:53:27 I WANT YOU TO PICTURE GETTING
18:53:29 OFF THE HIGHWAY AT BUSCH,
18:53:31 RIGHT, YOU'RE 275, YOU'RE
18:53:33 GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY AT
18:53:35 BUSCH, YOU TAKE THAT LOOP
18:53:36 AROUND AND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING
18:53:37 AT STRAIGHT AHEAD OF YOU IS THE
18:53:39 MEL'S HOT DOG BILLBOARD, RIGHT,
18:53:40 AND YOU TAKE THAT LEFT AT
18:53:41 BUSCH, AND THE FIRST THING YOU
18:53:43 SEE ON THE LEFT IS THIS VACANT
18:53:46 PARCEL, AND WHEN I SAY "VACANT
18:53:48 PARCEL," I MEAN THERE IS
18:53:49 NOTHING THERE.
18:53:52 IT IS A CONCRETE SLAB OF
18:53:54 NOTHINGNESS.
18:53:56 IT IS OVER THREE ACRES OF A
18:53:58 DECREPIT CONCRETE SLAB WITH
18:54:00 SMALL, UNHEALTHY TREES DOTTING
18:54:01 THIS SITE.
18:54:02 THIS IS A PART OF THE CITY
18:54:05 WHERE WE ARE STARVING FOR
18:54:06 INVESTMENT.
18:54:07 WHAT WE HAVE FOR THE APPLICANT
18:54:09 TEAM IS EXPERIENCED DEVELOPERS
18:54:11 WHO HAVE BEEN PLANNING THIS
18:54:13 PROJECT FOR OVER TWO YEARS WHO
18:54:15 HAVE WORKED EXTENSIVELY WITH
18:54:17 FDOT, WITH THE CITY, WITH THE
18:54:18 INNOVATION ALLIANCE.
18:54:20 THIS PROJECT CAN BE THE
18:54:22 CATALYST FOR REDEVELOPMENT IN
18:54:23 THIS PART OF THE CITY.
18:54:25 IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
18:54:27 OVERNIGHT, BUT SOMEBODY HAS TO
18:54:27 BE FIRST.
18:54:29 THESE GUYS ARE WILLING TO BE
18:54:31 FIRST, AND IN ORDER TO DO THAT,
18:54:32 THEY ARE GOING TO NEED SOME
18:54:33 RELIEF FROM SOME OF THE CODE
18:54:34 PROVISIONS THAT WE'RE TALKING
18:54:35 ABOUT.
18:54:36 I WANT YOU TO GET A GOOD
18:54:37 PICTURE OF WHAT THIS SITE LOOKS
18:54:39 LIKE, AND SO I'M GOING TO SHOW
18:54:42 A FEW SLIDES HERE ON THE ELMO,
18:54:43 AND I WILL TELL YOU, I WALKED
18:54:45 THIS SITE YESTERDAY IN THE HEAT
18:54:47 IN A SPORT JACKET, WHICH WAS A
18:54:49 MISTAKE, AND IT'S UGLY.
18:54:51 I MEAN, IT'S -- IT'S NASTY OUT
18:54:53 THERE.
18:55:03 AROUND THE SITE YOU'VE GOT
18:55:04 COMMERCIAL USES, YOU HAVE AUTO
18:55:09 SALES, A WAREHOUSE, CAR WASH,
18:55:10 GAS STATION USE.
18:55:10 THIS IS A COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR
18:55:13 TO THE EXTREME, VERY URBAN.
18:55:14 FROM A FUTURE LAND USE
18:55:15 PERSPECTIVE, THIS IS AT THE
18:55:16 INTERSECTION OF TWO COMMERCIAL
18:55:18 CORRIDORS ON BUSCH AND
18:55:18 NEBRASKA.
18:55:19 THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOUND
18:55:20 THIS CONSISTENT WITH THE
18:55:21 DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE
18:55:22 AREA, AS YOU HEARD.
18:55:24 I'M GOING TO COME BACK TO THEIR
18:55:25 COMMENTS IN A MINUTE.
18:55:26 I ACTUALLY WANT TO HIGHLIGHT
18:55:28 ONE SPECIFIC PROVISION IN THEIR
18:55:29 REPORT BECAUSE I THINK IT'S
18:55:32 MOST APPLICABLE.
18:55:36 IF YOU LOOK AT THE PLACEMENT OF
18:55:39 THE LOCATION ON THIS PARCEL, IT
18:55:40 IS AT ONE OF THE FOUR CORNERS
18:55:42 OF THE INNOVATION DISTRICT IN A
18:55:44 PART OF THE CITY THAT HAS NOT
18:55:46 SEEN RECENT REDEVELOPMENT.
18:55:47 THE MALL IS GETTING ATTENTION
18:55:50 AND INVESTMENT, THE USF AREA IS
18:55:51 GETTING ATTENTION AND
18:55:52 INVESTMENT.
18:55:53 WE CANNOT IGNORE THE BUSCH
18:55:55 BOULEVARD CORRIDOR.
18:55:57 THIS IS A CORRIDOR THAT BADLY
18:55:59 NEEDS INVESTMENT, AND THESE
18:56:01 GUYS ARE WILLING TO DO IT.
18:56:02 NEXT.
18:56:04 FOR YOUR PERSPECTIVE, THIS IS,
18:56:05 ON THE TOP HERE, WHAT THE
18:56:07 ACCESS DRIVEWAY ON BUSCH
18:56:10 BOULEVARD LOOKS LIKE TODAY, AND
18:56:12 ON THE BOTTOM IS WHAT IT WILL
18:56:14 BE ACTIVATED TO BECOME.
18:56:17 WHAT YOU CAN SEE ON THE FRONT,
18:56:18 DOWN IN THE LEFT, IS THE HOTEL
18:56:20 BUILDING, ALL RIGHT, WITH SOME
18:56:21 INNOVATIVE DESIGN FEATURES,
18:56:23 SOME PUBLIC ART, AND THE MIXED
18:56:25 USE BUILDING IS BEHIND IT.
18:56:26 IT'S SEVEN STORIES.
18:56:29 AND ONE THING YOU CAN SEE ON
18:56:30 THE TOP OF IT, YOU CAN SEE A
18:56:32 FEW TREES POKING UP ON THE TOP
18:56:33 OF IT ON THIS BUILDING.
18:56:35 THE ROOFTOP WILL BE GREENSPACE.
18:56:36 THIS IS URBAN DESIGN.
18:56:37 THIS IS HOW WE GET THE
18:56:39 GREENSPACE ON THE SITE IS YOU
18:56:41 PUT IT UP TOP.
18:56:42 YOU MAXIMIZE THE SPACE, YOU
18:56:44 MAKE A NICE LANDSCAPED AREA ON
18:56:46 THE TOP FOR THE RESIDENTS TO
18:56:49 ENJOY.
18:56:51 AGAIN, FOR PERSPECTIVE, ON TOP
18:56:52 THIS IS THE CURRENT VIEW FROM
18:56:54 NEBRASKA LOOKING AT THE SITE.
18:56:56 THIS IS THE ACCESS POINT THAT
18:56:58 WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ON
18:56:58 NEBRASKA.
18:57:00 ON THE BOTTOM IS WHAT IT WILL
18:57:02 LOOK LIKE ONCE IT'S ACTIVATED.
18:57:04 A FEW THINGS TO POINT OUT HERE.
18:57:06 THE FOOD KIOSKS, YOU'LL SEE TWO
18:57:08 FOOD KIOSKS IN FRONT ON
18:57:10 NEBRASKA, AND WE'RE GOING TO
18:57:11 ACTIVATE THAT CORRIDOR FOR
18:57:12 PEDESTRIAN USE.
18:57:14 YOU HEARD MARY TALK ABOUT THE
18:57:16 CODE CALLING FOR LANDSCAPE FOR
18:57:17 EIGHT FEET BETWEEN THE PARKING
18:57:19 AREA AND THE STREET.
18:57:21 WE'RE ASKING FOR RELIEF THERE,
18:57:22 AND INSTEAD OF LANDSCAPE, WE'RE
18:57:23 GOING TO PUT A PEDESTRIAN
18:57:24 CORRIDOR THERE AND WE'RE GOING
18:57:25 TO PUT FOOD TRUCK CORRIDORS
18:57:26 THERE.
18:57:29 AGAIN, THAT'S URBAN DESIGN.
18:57:30 THE MIXED USE BUILDING IS THE
18:57:32 BIG BUILDING YOU SEE ON THE
18:57:34 RIGHT-HAND SIDE WITH A
18:57:35 RESTAURANT, AND IN THE CENTER,
18:57:36 GOING DOWN THE CENTER, IS
18:57:38 COWORK SPACE WITH VERY HIGH
18:57:41 CEILING, AND, AGAIN, COWORK
18:57:42 SPACE.
18:57:43 I'M GOING TO COME BACK TO THAT.
18:57:45 AND, AGAIN, NOTICE THE ROOF
18:57:46 DECK, URBAN DESIGN.
18:57:48 THIS IS THE PART WHERE THE
18:57:49 GREENSPACE HAS TO GO.
18:57:52 THIS IS VERTICAL PLANNING AS
18:57:54 OPPOSED TO HORIZONTAL PLANNING.
18:57:56 YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THIS IF YOU
18:57:57 TRAVELED TO PORTLAND OR
18:57:58 SEATTLE.
18:57:59 THERE'S A LOT OF GREENSPACE
18:58:00 USES IN URBAN DESIGNED
18:58:03 BUILDINGS JUST LIKE THIS ONE,
18:58:04 ACTIVATING ALL PARTS OF THE
18:58:08 SPACE THAT YOU OCCUPY.
18:58:09 LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
18:58:09 ACCESS.
18:58:11 THE GREEN ARROWS ON THIS SITE
18:58:13 ARE WHERE THE ACCESS FOR THIS
18:58:13 PROJECT IS.
18:58:15 WE'VE WORKED WITH FDOT
18:58:17 EXTENSIVELY ON ROAD
18:58:18 IMPROVEMENTS FOR NEBRASKA.
18:58:20 WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REDO THE
18:58:23 TURN LANE ON NEBRASKA, AND
18:58:24 WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOME
18:58:26 MEDIAN WORK ON NEBRASKA.
18:58:27 THE TURN LANE'S GOING TO BE
18:58:28 EXTENDED.
18:58:29 ACCESS IS FROM BOTH NEBRASKA
18:58:30 AND BUSCH.
18:58:32 THERE IS NO ACCESS ISSUES TO
18:58:34 THE SITE, THERE IS NO
18:58:36 OPPOSITION TO ACCESS OR ISSUES
18:58:39 FROM ANY DEPARTMENT.
18:58:42 NEXT.
18:58:44 SO WE'RE ASKING FOR SIX
18:58:45 WAIVERS, SO I WANT TO TALK
18:58:47 ABOUT THE SIX WAIVERS.
18:58:48 WE BELIEVE THAT ALL OF THEM ARE
18:58:50 JUSTIFIED BASED ON THE AREA OF
18:58:52 THE CITY THIS IS IN AND WHAT WE
18:58:54 ARE LOOKING TO BUILD AND
18:58:55 ACTIVATE ON THIS SITE.
18:58:57 FOR WAIVERS NO. 1 AND 2, WE
18:58:59 NEED TO TAKE DOWN THE TREES ON
18:58:59 THE SITE.
18:59:01 THEY ARE NOT GRAND TREES,
18:59:02 THEY'RE ALMOST ALL PALMS, THEY
18:59:03 ARE NOT IN GOOD CONDITION.
18:59:05 AGAIN, I WANT YOU TO LOOK HERE
18:59:06 AT THE PICTURE.
18:59:08 THESE ARE NOT CARED-FOR TREES.
18:59:09 THEY HAVE TO COME DOWN.
18:59:14 WE ARE WILLING TO, OBVIOUSLY,
18:59:14 MITIGATE AS WE NEED TO
18:59:15 MITIGATE, BUT THESE TREES JUST
18:59:17 -- THEY'RE NOT IN GOOD SHAPE
18:59:19 FOR ANY DEVELOPMENT.
18:59:20 FORGET OUR DEVELOPMENT FOR A
18:59:20 SECOND.
18:59:21 ANYTHING YOU WANT TO PUT HERE,
18:59:22 THESE TREES ARE GOING TO HAVE
18:59:23 TO COME DOWN, SO WE'RE ASKING
18:59:25 FOR THE WAIVER TO BE GRANTED
18:59:27 THERE.
18:59:28 NEXT.
18:59:29 WAIVER NO. 5.
18:59:31 WE'RE ASKING TO REDUCE THE VUA
18:59:32 LANDSCAPE BUFFER.
18:59:34 AGAIN, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS ON
18:59:35 THE NEBRASKA SIDE.
18:59:36 THE CODE CALLS FOR EIGHT FEET
18:59:38 BETWEEN THE PARKING LOT AND THE
18:59:40 PROPERTY LINE, SO INSTEAD OF
18:59:42 GREENSPACE, WE'RE LOOKING TO
18:59:43 ACTIVATE IT AS PEDESTRIAN
18:59:44 CORRIDOR.
18:59:45 AGAIN, WE'RE GOING TO BE THE
18:59:46 FIRST ONES THERE, AND THAT'S
18:59:47 GOING TO BE EXTENDED NORTH.
18:59:50 ALONG THE ENTRANCE RAMP HERE ON
18:59:52 THE LEFT, YOU CAN SEE, WE'RE
18:59:53 ASKING TO REDUCE THE CORRIDOR
18:59:56 TO FIT THE AMOUNT OF PARKING
18:59:58 THAT WE CAN PUT ON THE SITE.
19:00:00 WE NEED TO BRING THAT DOWN TO
19:00:01 THREE FEET AS OPPOSED TO HAVE
19:00:02 IT BE EIGHT FEET TO FIT PARKING
19:00:04 ON THIS SITE.
19:00:05 AGAIN, THAT'S NOT A PEDESTRIAN
19:00:05 CORRIDOR.
19:00:06 NOBODY SHOULD BE OVER THERE
19:00:07 WALKING.
19:00:10 IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE.
19:00:11 THERE REALLY IS NO ISSUE OTHER
19:00:12 THAN WE JUST NEED A LITTLE
19:00:15 RELIEF ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP OF
19:00:18 275, SO THOSE ARE TWO WAIVERS.
19:00:20 NEXT, AND I THINK THE BIG ONE
19:00:21 AND THE ONES WE'RE GOING TO
19:00:23 TALK ABOUT, IS PARKING.
19:00:26 IT'S A PARKING WAIVER FOR, YOU
19:00:28 KNOW, 45% OF THE SITE, BUT I
19:00:29 WANT TO TALK ABOUT A COUPLE
19:00:30 THINGS THAT CAN POTENTIALLY
19:00:34 GIVE YOU SOME COMFORT.
19:00:35 LEED STANDARDS, AND THIS BUILD
19:00:36 SOMETHING GOING TO BE APPLYING
19:00:38 FOR LEED CERTIFICATION,
19:00:40 RECOMMEND 20% REDUCTION FROM
19:00:41 CONVENTIONAL PARKING NUMBERS,
19:00:43 SO WE CAN TAKE 20% OFF THE TOP
19:00:45 OF THE WAIVER FOR LEED
19:00:45 CERTIFICATION.
19:00:49 THAT IS GOING TO BRING US DOWN
19:00:50 TO 87 SPACES OFF.
19:00:52 NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT 347.
19:00:54 AGAIN, WE'RE PROVIDING 239.
19:00:57 NOW WE'RE AT 347.
19:00:59 YOU HAVE OFFICE SPACE.
19:01:01 UNDER THE CODE THAT'S 3.3 PER
19:01:02 1,000 SQUARE FEET.
19:01:04 WE'RE AT 4300 SQUARE FEET.
19:01:06 THIS IS COWORKING SPACE.
19:01:07 THIS IS PROBABLY NOT GOING TO
19:01:09 BE PEOPLE COMING TO THE SITE,
19:01:10 ADDITIONAL PEOPLE, IT'S GOING
19:01:13 TO BE THE RESIDENTS WHO ARE IN
19:01:14 THE APARTMENT BUILDINGS AND THE
19:01:16 HOTEL USERS WHO ARE GOING TO
19:01:17 USE THAT COWORKING SPACE.
19:01:20 THAT'S AN ADDITIONAL 12 PEOPLE
19:01:22 -- 12 SPACES OFF, SO NOW WE'RE
19:01:25 DOWN TO A 96-SPACE WAIVER.
19:01:26 IN ADDITION, THIS IS WALKING
19:01:29 DISTANCE TO THE METRORAPID LINE
19:01:30 DOWN NEBRASKA.
19:01:32 IT IS WALKING DISTANCE TO THE
19:01:36 HART YUKON STATION.
19:01:38 ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO GO IN THIS
19:01:40 CITY, YOU ARE ABLE TO GET THERE
19:01:41 WITH PUBLIC TRANSIT, AND WE
19:01:43 SHOULD BE ENCOURAGING
19:01:43 REPUBLICAN TRANSIT.
19:01:44 THAT'S SOMETHING THE PLANNING
19:01:45 COMMISSION TALKS ABOUT.
19:01:45 THAT'S SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN
19:01:47 TALKING ABOUT OVER AND OVER AS
19:01:48 A CITY, PROJECT AFTER PROJECT.
19:01:49 WE'RE ASKING YOU TO RECOGNIZE
19:01:51 THAT HERE, THAT THERE ARE
19:01:53 TRANSIT OPTIONS AVAILABLE.
19:01:55 NEXT, FEWER AND FEWER FAMILIES
19:01:58 ARE TWO-CAR FAMILIES.
19:01:59 MUCH LESS PARKING IS REQUIRED
19:02:01 FOR MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL
19:02:02 THAN IS NEEDED FROM EVER
19:02:03 BEFORE.
19:02:04 FEWER PEOPLE ARE RENTING CARS
19:02:06 WHEN THEY'RE HERE ON BUSINESS
19:02:07 OR ON TOURISM.
19:02:10 RIDESHARING IS A GROWING
19:02:10 INDUSTRY.
19:02:11 IT IS SOMETHING THAT THE CODE
19:02:12 DOES NOT RECOGNIZE.
19:02:16 PEOPLE ARE NOT COMING HERE AND
19:02:17 RENTING CARS LIKE THEY USED TO.
19:02:19 THEY'RE COMING HERE, GETTING IN
19:02:21 AN UBER, GETTING INTO LYFT, AND
19:02:22 THAT WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN
19:02:24 AND WILL, AGAIN, HAPPEN ON THIS
19:02:25 SITE.
19:02:28 THIS IS A BOOK CALLED "STREET
19:02:29 SMART: THE RISE OF CITIES AND
19:02:30 THE FALL OF CARS."
19:02:32 THIS IS ONE OF THE LEADING
19:02:34 TREATISES IN URBAN PLANNING
19:02:35 CLASSES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
19:02:37 IF YOU'VE EVER HEARD A MARK
19:02:39 SHARPE SPEECH, IF YOU'VE EVER
19:02:41 READ A MARK SHARPE TWEET, HE
19:02:42 REFERS TO THIS BOOK OVER AND
19:02:44 OVER AGAIN, AND WHAT IT SAYS,
19:02:45 IN PERTINENT PART FOR OUR
19:02:48 PURPOSES, IS THAT VMTS, VEHICLE
19:02:50 MILES TRAVELED, ARE DROPPING AT
19:02:52 A RATE UNPRECEDENTED IN OUR
19:02:54 COUNTRY'S HISTORY SINCE THE
19:02:55 ADVENT OF THE AUTOMOBILE, AND
19:02:57 THE REASON IS MILLENNIALS ARE
19:03:00 NOT BUYING CARS, MILLENNIALS
19:03:01 ARE NOT LEARNING TO DRIVE,
19:03:03 MILLENNIALS ARE NOT INTERESTED
19:03:07 IN AUTO OWNERSHIP AND AUTO USE.
19:03:09 INSTEAD, THEY'RE INTERESTED IN
19:03:10 PUBLIC TRANSIT, THEY'RE
19:03:11 INTERESTED IN BIKE TRANSIT,
19:03:13 THEY'RE INTERESTED IN
19:03:14 PEDESTRIAN, THEY'RE INTERESTED
19:03:16 IN SCOOTERS.
19:03:17 THIS PROJECT PROVIDES ALL OF
19:03:21 THOSE THINGS.
19:03:23 THIS DEVELOPMENT IS CATERED TO
19:03:25 MILLENNIALS.
19:03:27 IT IS RENTAL, IT HAS COWORK
19:03:28 SPACE, IT HAS A RESTAURANT
19:03:32 OPTION, IT HAS FIVE RESTAURANT
19:03:34 KIOSKS ON-SITE, AND IT IS CLOSE
19:03:35 TO PUBLIC TRANSIT.
19:03:37 THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE HERE,
19:03:38 WHO WILL BE THE FIRST ONES IN
19:03:40 THIS AREA TO HELP IT REDEVELOP,
19:03:42 WILL BE MILLENNIALS.
19:03:44 WE HAVE TO LOOK TO THE FUTURE,
19:03:45 CAN'T LOOK TO THE PAST.
19:03:47 IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO STICK
19:03:48 STRICTLY TO THE CODE, YOU ARE
19:03:49 LOOKING TO THE PAST.
19:03:51 IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO HELP
19:03:52 PROVIDE INVESTMENT TO THIS PART
19:03:54 OF THE CITY, YOU HAVE TO LOOK
19:03:56 FORWARD AND SAY WHAT IS THIS
19:03:59 GOING TO LOOK LIKE IN 2030, IN
19:04:02 2040 WHEN WE ARE EVEN LESS
19:04:04 DEPENDENT ON CARS THAN WE ARE
19:04:04 NOW.
19:04:09 ALL OF THIS IS SAID FOR
19:04:10 JUSTIFICATION OF THE PARKING
19:04:10 WAIVER.
19:04:12 NEXT, WAIVERS 4 AND 6, ALSO
19:04:14 RELATED TO PARKING, YES.
19:04:16 WE NEED NINE FEET FROM INSIDE
19:04:17 THE CURB TO INSIDE THE CURB.
19:04:19 WE JUST NEED IT IN ORDER TO FIT
19:04:21 THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES
19:04:22 THAT WE CAN FIT ON THIS SITE.
19:04:24 WE'RE ASKING FOR 1.5 FEET OFF
19:04:25 OF EACH SIDE, AGAIN, PROBABLY
19:04:27 NOT THAT BIG OF AN ASK
19:04:28 CONSIDERING THE INVESTMENT THAT
19:04:29 WE'RE GOING TO MAKE ON THIS
19:04:29 PROPERTY.
19:04:31 AGAIN, AS AN AMENITY, WE'RE
19:04:32 ASKING FOR VALET TANDEM PARKING
19:04:33 SPACES.
19:04:35 THIS IS HAPPENING IN CITY AFTER
19:04:37 CITY AFTER CITY, IN URBAN
19:04:39 DESIGN, TO PUT MORE CARS ON THE
19:04:41 SMALL SPACE YOU HAVE, YOU HAVE
19:04:44 TO HAVE TANDEM PARKING, RIGHT.
19:04:45 THE CODE RIGHT NOW IS A
19:04:47 SUBURBAN-ORIENTED CODE, AND IT
19:04:48 TALKS ABOUT TANDEM PARKING ONLY
19:04:51 FOR SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.
19:04:52 THAT'S NOT THE WORLD WE LIVE IN
19:04:53 TODAY.
19:04:55 THE WORLD WE LIVE IN TODAY, AND
19:04:56 SPECIFICALLY THIS PART OF THE
19:04:58 CITY, IS URBAN.
19:04:59 IN AN URBAN DESIGN, YOU HAVE TO
19:05:00 ADAPT TO URBAN NEEDS, AND ONE
19:05:02 OF THE THINGS THAT WE CAN DO TO
19:05:04 FIT MORE CARS ON THIS SIDE IS
19:05:05 ALLOW FOR TANDEM PARKING AND
19:05:09 VALET AS AN AMENITY TO COME TO
19:05:09 THE RESTAURANTS AND OTHER USES
19:05:12 ON THIS SITE, THE FOOD TRUCK
19:05:17 KIOSKS, THE HOTEL, AND WHATNOT.
19:05:18 IN THE SCHEME OF THINGS, WE
19:05:19 BELIEVE THESE ARE SMALL WAIVERS
19:05:20 THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IN ORDER
19:05:21 TO MAKE A BIG INVESTMENT IN
19:05:23 THIS PART OF THE CITY THAT
19:05:26 HASN'T SEEN IT YET, WITH MIXED
19:05:27 USE SPACE, VERTICALLY
19:05:29 INTEGRATED COWORK SPACE, A
19:05:31 PEDESTRIAN FOCUS, A HOTEL, AND
19:05:33 FOOD KIOSKS ON THIS SITE ON THE
19:05:35 CORNER OF BUSCH AND NEBRASKA,
19:05:38 IT IS AMBITIOUS, IT IS UNIQUE,
19:05:41 AND IT IS LARGE-SCALE.
19:05:43 I WANT TO POINT YOU -- I TOLD I
19:05:45 WOULD COME BACK TO THIS -- ONE
19:05:46 OF THE THINGS THE PLANNING
19:05:47 COMMISSION SAID.
19:05:48 I'M GOING TO POINT YOU TO PAGE
19:05:49 4 ON THEIR REPORT AT THE VERY
19:05:52 BOTTOM, AND WHEN YOU'RE VOTING
19:05:53 ON THIS PROJECT, I HOPE YOU
19:05:55 CONSIDER THIS.
19:05:56 THIS SAYS, WITHIN IDENTIFIED
19:05:58 MIXED USE CORRIDORS, THE
19:05:58 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROMOTES THE
19:05:59 TRANSITIONS OF THESE CORRIDORS
19:06:01 FROM THE OLD AUTO-DOMINANT
19:06:03 DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE PAST
19:06:04 TO A MORE BALANCED
19:06:07 PEDESTRIAN-ORIENTED MIXED USE
19:06:08 DEVELOPMENT PATTERN THAT IS
19:06:10 MORE VISUALLY PLEASING,
19:06:11 PROVIDES FOR GREATER SAFETY FOR
19:06:12 ALL USERS.
19:06:14 TO FURTHER THIS POLICY
19:06:15 DIRECTION, THE APPLICANT HAS
19:06:17 WORKED TO ACTIVATE NEBRASKA
19:06:20 AVENUE CORRIDOR WITH COMMERCIAL
19:06:21 KIOSKS ORIENTED TOWARD THE
19:06:23 PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY, ALSO CLEAR
19:06:24 PEDESTRIAN PATHWAYS CONNECT THE
19:06:25 MAIN ENTRANCES OF THE PROPOSED
19:06:26 BUILDINGS WITH SIDEWALKS ALONG
19:06:28 THE ADJACENT PUBLIC
19:06:29 RIGHT-OF-WAY.
19:06:31 THIS IS EXACTLY THE TYPE OF
19:06:32 DEVELOPMENT THAT WE WANT TO
19:06:33 INSPIRE IN A PART OF THE CITY
19:06:35 THAT NEEDS IT.
19:06:36 TO OUR KNOWLEDGE, THERE IS NO
19:06:38 OPPOSITION FROM RESIDENTS TO
19:06:39 THIS PROJECT.
19:06:40 WHAT WE DO HAVE ARE A COUPLE
19:06:42 LETTERS OF SUPPORT, ONE FROM
19:06:44 THE DIRECTLY ABUTTING PROPERTY
19:06:46 OWNER TO THE NORTH, AND I WILL
19:06:50 SUBMIT THESE INTO THE RECORD.
19:06:51 SECOND FROM PROPERTY OWNERS WHO
19:06:53 ARE SITUATED TO THE NORTH ON
19:06:56 WILMA, WHO -- WHEN WE WENT OUT
19:06:58 TO PUT THE NOTICE SIGNS UP FOR
19:07:00 THIS PROJECT, THEY STOPPED US,
19:07:02 AND THEY SAID, OH, MY GOSH, IS
19:07:03 THERE REALLY DEVELOPMENT COMING
19:07:05 TO THIS SITE, AND WE SAID, YES,
19:07:06 THERE REALLY IS, WE HOPE SO,
19:07:08 AND THEY SAID, WHAT IS IT?
19:07:09 WE DESCRIBED IT, AND THEY SAID,
19:07:10 OH, IT'S AMAZING.
19:07:11 WE'RE ABSOLUTELY IN SUPPORT OF
19:07:12 THAT.
19:07:13 WE'RE GOING TO TELL OUR
19:07:13 NEIGHBORS.
19:07:14 CAN WE WRITE A LETTER?
19:07:15 AND SO I HAVE ONE OF THOSE FROM
19:07:17 TWO RESIDENTS HERE, JOEL SNOW
19:07:21 AND JOAN KOSMAN THAT I WILL
19:07:22 ENTER INTO THE RECORD.
19:07:23 THIRD IS THE INNOVATION
19:07:24 ALLIANCE.
19:07:25 WE'VE WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE
19:07:26 INNOVATION ALLIANCE, AND THEY
19:07:27 ARE IN FULL SUPPORT OF THIS
19:07:29 DEVELOPMENT, AND I'LL LET MARK
19:07:30 SHARPE SPEAK FOR HIMSELF WHEN
19:07:31 THE TIME COMES, BUT I WILL
19:07:32 ENTER INTO THE RECORD HIS
19:07:35 LETTER OF SUPPORT WITH, AGAIN,
19:07:38 TWO YEARS OF WORK PUT INTO THIS
19:07:38 PROJECT, A LOT OF INVESTMENT
19:07:41 FOR SOMETHING THAT WE BELIEVE
19:07:44 IS VERY POSITIVE FOR THE CITY,
19:07:45 WE'RE GOING TO ASK FOR YOUR
19:07:46 APPROVAL.
19:07:47 I THINK THERE IS VERY LITTLE
19:07:49 DOWN SIDE HERE FOR APPROVING
19:07:50 THESE WAIVERS.
19:07:52 YOU HAVE EVERYTHING TO GAIN AND
19:07:54 NOTHING TO LOSE BY ALLOWING
19:07:56 INVESTMENT IN THIS PART OF THE
19:07:57 CITY.
19:07:58 I AM HERE TO ANSWER YOUR
19:07:59 QUESTIONS.
19:08:00 THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO ANSWER
19:08:00 QUESTIONS.
19:08:02 I BELIEVE DURING PUBLIC COMMENT
19:08:03 THEY ARE GOING TO CONSOLIDATE
19:08:08 THEIR TIME AND ENRIQUE IS GOING
19:08:09 TO READ A STATEMENT WITH THE
19:08:10 APPLICANT'S REMARKS, SO WE
19:08:10 THANK YOU.
19:08:11 >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
19:08:15 MR. MANISCALCO, YOU HAVE A
19:08:15 QUESTION?
19:08:15 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: REAL QUICK.
19:08:16 IN THE RENDERING, YOU SHOW THIS
19:08:17 EMPTY PARCEL ON THE CORNER, I
19:08:18 GUESS, OF NEBRASKA AND BUSCH.
19:08:21 >> YES.
19:08:22 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I KNOW
19:08:23 THAT'S A CAR AND FACILITY?
19:08:25 DOES THAT STAY?
19:08:26 >> THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH
19:08:27 IT.
19:08:30 THE CAR RENTAL NOW STAYS, THE
19:08:31 CAR SALES NOW STAYS, BUT
19:08:32 BELIEVE YOU ME, WE'LL BE
19:08:33 LOOKING TO THAT IN THE FUTURE.
19:08:34 >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
19:08:35 MR. VIERA.
19:08:35 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU,
19:08:36 MR. CHAIR.
19:08:36 THAT'S FUNNY.
19:08:37 WHEN I SAW SOME OF THESE
19:08:39 PICTURES, THE TROPICAL CAR WASH
19:08:41 COMING IN, WHEN I WAS A KID,
19:08:43 LIKE FOUR OR FIVE YEARS OLD --
19:08:45 I GREW UP IN TEMPLE TERRACE,
19:08:46 AND EVERY TIME WE WOULD LEAVE
19:08:48 TOWN, MY PARENTS WOULD GET OFF
19:08:50 ON 275 TO HEAD TOWARDS TEMPLE
19:08:51 TERRACE, AND THAT WAS ALWAYS
19:08:52 THE SIGN FOR ME THAT WE WERE
19:08:54 APPROACHING HOME, AND I'M
19:08:55 ALWAYS SURPRISED THAT'S STILL
19:08:56 THERE, THAT AND THE KARATE
19:08:57 PLACE.
19:08:58 I USED TO ACTUALLY TAKE KARATE
19:09:00 LESSONS WHEN I WAS A KID.
19:09:01 I WAS TERRIBLE AT KARATE.
19:09:03 I'VE NEVER BEEN VERY
19:09:04 COORDINATED, BUT WHATEVER.
19:09:05 BUT, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE
19:09:06 THINGS THAT -- AND THIS HAS,
19:09:08 YOU KNOW, JUST FROM A POLICY
19:09:08 PERSPECTIVE, NOTHING DEALING
19:09:10 WITH THE CODE OR OUR DECISION
19:09:11 HERE TODAY.
19:09:12 YOU KNOW, JUST TO AFFIRM A LOT
19:09:13 OF THE THINGS YOU SAID, YOU
19:09:15 KNOW, THE BUSCH CORRIDOR, TO
19:09:17 SAY THAT IT'S BEEN ABANDONED BY
19:09:18 LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS ONE HECK OF
19:09:20 AN UNDERSTATEMENT, AND
19:09:21 ENDEAVORS LIKE THIS, I APPLAUD
19:09:23 THE INDIVIDUALS BEHIND THIS,
19:09:24 YOU KNOW.
19:09:25 IT'S AN AREA THAT'S BEEN
19:09:26 ABANDONED BY GOVERNMENT, AND
19:09:27 APPARENTLY, THE PRIVATE SECTOR
19:09:30 IS STEPPING IN, AND IT'S MY
19:09:31 HOPE THAT WITH THE PRIVATE
19:09:33 SECTOR STEPPING IN IN SUCH A
19:09:36 MONUMENTAL INNOVATIVE TYPE OF
19:09:38 AN ENDEAVOR THAT THAT'S GOING
19:09:39 TO WAKE UP LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO
19:09:40 SAY THAT, LOOK, PRIVATE
19:09:43 SECTOR'S STEPPING IN, PRIVATE
19:09:44 BUSINESS IS STEPPING IN, THINGS
19:09:45 ARE HAPPENING IN HERE, DARN IT,
19:09:46 YOU KNOW, THE BALL'S IN OUR
19:09:49 COURT, LET'S DRIBBLE IT, SO I
19:09:50 CERTAINLY HOPE THAT HAPPENS.
19:09:52 LAST NIGHT I ATTENDED OVER AT
19:09:53 TERRACE PARK, WHICH IS A
19:09:55 NEIGHBORHOOD OFF OF -- NEAR
19:09:58 BUSCH GARDENS, AN INTEREST
19:09:59 MEETING FOR A HOME ASSOCIATION
19:10:01 OUT THERE, AND TO MY SURPRISE,
19:10:03 ALMOST 70 PEOPLE SHOWED UP, AND
19:10:04 THE BIGGEST THING THAT THEY
19:10:06 TALKED ABOUT WAS BUSINESS
19:10:08 DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA, MAKING
19:10:10 SURE THAT WE HAVE SMART
19:10:11 DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA, SO,
19:10:12 YOU KNOW, JUST SEEING SOMETHING
19:10:15 LIKE THIS IS -- I THINK IT
19:10:17 BRINGS HOPE TO THE AREA, AND,
19:10:18 YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE
19:10:20 OVERUSE THAT TERM, "HOPE,"
19:10:21 "HOPE," "HOPE."
19:10:22 THIS REALLY IS SOMETHING THAT
19:10:23 DOES BRING A LOT OF HOPE TO THE
19:10:24 AREA, AND I THINK IT'S
19:10:25 SOMETHING THAT'S VERY
19:10:26 INSTRUCTIVE AND IT'S A POSITIVE
19:10:28 THING, SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY
19:10:29 THAT.
19:10:31 >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
19:10:32 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I JUST WANT
19:10:34 TO SAY, REGARDING YOUR
19:10:37 REDUCTION OF 437 TO 239, I
19:10:39 THINK IT WAS, IN ESSENCE,
19:10:42 YOU'RE -- IF YOU DO RECEIVE
19:10:46 THAT, THE BEAR TO CROSS IS
19:10:48 GOING TO BE YOUR OWN DEVELOPER
19:10:48 BECAUSE --
19:10:49 >> THAT'S RIGHT.
19:10:50 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: BECAUSE IF
19:10:51 HE DOESN'T HAVE IT, HE CAN'T
19:10:51 GET ANY MORE.
19:10:52 HE DOESN'T FIT.
19:10:52 >> THAT'S RIGHT.
19:10:52 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SO IF THE
19:10:53 CARS CAN'T FIT, THE CARS CAN'T
19:10:56 STAY, THE PEOPLE DON'T STAY.
19:10:56 >> THAT'S RIGHT.
19:10:58 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SO YOUR OWN
19:10:59 SUCCESS IS GOING TO BE YOUR OWN
19:11:00 DEMISE.
19:11:01 >> YOU'VE GOT TO TRUST THE
19:11:02 MARKET.
19:11:02 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: BE CAREFUL
19:11:05 WHAT YOU ASK FOR, YOU MIGHT GET
19:11:06 IT.
19:11:07 THEN WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
19:11:08 THE CORNER OF THE LOT IS GOING
19:11:09 TO BE THREE TIMES THE VALUE
19:11:11 THEN, SO I'M JUST TELLING THE
19:11:11 GUY TO UP THE PRICE.
19:11:12 [LAUGHTER]
19:11:12 NO, I'M NOT.
19:11:17 I'M JUST -- YOU KNOW HOW I AM.
19:11:17 BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS AT ONE
19:11:18 TIME, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THAT
19:11:20 WAS ONE OF THE PLACES TO GO IN
19:11:21 THE CITY OF TAMPA.
19:11:28 I REMEMBER WITH DICK CHENEY AND
19:11:29 BOB VALLEY, AND THE REST OF US,
19:11:29 YOU COULD BE THERE ARE THURSDAY
19:11:30 AFTERNOON, AND THE PLACE WAS
19:11:30 ALWAYS JAM-PACKED.
19:11:31 WHAT HAPPENED IS A LOT OF
19:11:32 DEVELOPMENT CAME SOMEWHERE
19:11:34 ELSE, AND ONCE YOU'RE 15 YEARS
19:11:35 OLD, UNLESS YOU'RE A
19:11:37 POLITICIAN, YOU GO DOWN, SO --
19:11:38 THAT'S HOW DEVELOPMENT WORKS,
19:11:40 AND IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT
19:11:42 SOMEBODY'S WILLING TO TAKE A
19:11:44 RISK AND DEVELOPING IS A RISK.
19:11:46 A LOT OF PEOPLE MAKE IT, SOME
19:11:46 DON'T.
19:11:47 I HOPE YOU DO.
19:11:48 >> THANK YOU.
19:11:49 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU.
19:11:50 >>FRANK REDDICK: I USED TO BE
19:11:50 THERE ON FRIDAY NIGHTS.
19:11:51 [LAUGHTER]
19:11:52 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I WANTED TO
19:11:53 MAKE SURE HE FOUND OUT IT WAS
19:11:54 THE RIGHT NIGHT.
19:11:58 SEE HOW I FOUND OUT?
19:12:00 YOU TURNED YOURSELF IN.
19:12:01 >>MIKE SUAREZ: OF COURSE, WE
19:12:03 KNOW A BUNCH OF PROWESS ON THE
19:12:04 DANCE FLOOR, SO WE KNOW THERE
19:12:06 WAS QUITE A PLACE TO GO AND
19:12:07 DANCE THERE AT THAT TIME.
19:12:09 SO LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION,
19:12:10 YOU KNOW, AND THIS IS A MORE
19:12:12 SUBSTANTIVE QUESTION.
19:12:15 YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE 144
19:12:16 DWELLING UNITS, AND IT SOUNDS
19:12:18 TO ME THAT BASICALLY IT'S GOING
19:12:20 TO BE MILLENNIALS OR PEOPLE
19:12:22 THAT -- MILLENNIALS AND, IN
19:12:24 ADDITION, COLLEGE STUDENTS THAT
19:12:25 PROBABLY WILL BE LIVING THERE.
19:12:26 THAT SEEMS TO BE THE TARGET
19:12:28 THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT, IF I'M
19:12:30 CORRECT, BASED ON WHAT YOU'RE
19:12:32 PRESENTING TO US.
19:12:33 >> IS THAT A STATEMENT OR A
19:12:34 QUESTION?
19:12:35 >>MIKE SUAREZ: THAT WAS A
19:12:35 QUESTION.
19:12:36 I'M ASKING YOU.
19:12:38 >> SO TWO THINGS.
19:12:41 ONE, WE BELIEVE THAT IS AN
19:12:44 ATTRACTIVE DEMOGRAPHIC FOR THIS
19:12:45 PARTICULAR PARCEL IN THIS
19:12:46 PARTICULAR AREA; HOWEVER, WE
19:12:47 HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE WAY
19:12:49 THE MARKET GOES --
19:12:49 >>MIKE SUAREZ: SURE.
19:12:51 >> -- AND THIS CITY IS
19:12:52 PROJECTED TO GROW 150,000
19:12:55 PEOPLE IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS,
19:12:56 AND WHERE THE JOBS COME IS
19:12:58 GOING TO BE WHERE PEOPLE WANT
19:12:58 TO LIVE.
19:12:59 >>MIKE SUAREZ: RIGHT.
19:13:00 >> AND IF THIS AREA HAS SOME
19:13:02 INVESTMENT PUT INTO IT AND SOME
19:13:04 DEVELOPMENT COMES THAT BRINGS
19:13:06 JOBS WITH IT, YOU KNOW, IT
19:13:09 COULD BE MULTIFAMILY FOR
19:13:10 PARENTS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN AS
19:13:12 WELL OR EMPTY NESTERS.
19:13:12 >>MIKE SUAREZ: OBVIOUSLY, WHEN
19:13:14 YOU BUILD IT, THE PRICE POINT'S
19:13:15 GOING TO HAVE TO BE SET BASED
19:13:17 ON THE NUMBER OF -- THE NUMBER
19:13:19 OF SPACES YOU HAVE AND OTHER
19:13:20 THINGS, SO CHANCES ARE THEY'RE
19:13:21 GOING TO LOOK FOR THAT.
19:13:22 I MEAN, YOU MADE A VERY GOOD
19:13:24 PRESENTATION ABOUT THE -- HOW
19:13:26 CLOSE IT IS TO THE UNIVERSITY
19:13:28 OF SOUTH FLORIDA.
19:13:28 >> YEAH.
19:13:29 >>MIKE SUAREZ: AND BECAUSE IT'S
19:13:31 ON THE NORTHERN EDGE, WHAT THE
19:13:33 TRADITIONAL CITY BOUNDARIES
19:13:35 WERE, IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE
19:13:36 WE HAVEN'T DEVELOPED IT, AND I
19:13:38 DISAGREE WITH MR. VIERA.
19:13:42 THE PRIVATE SECTOR HAS BEEN
19:13:42 THERE.
19:13:43 THEY'VE BEEN ILLEGAL
19:13:44 ACTIVITIES, BUT I'VE GOT TO
19:13:46 TELL YOU THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY
19:13:49 THAT EXCHANGED HANDS ON
19:13:50 NEBRASKA AVENUE FOR YEARS,
19:13:50 OKAY.
19:13:50 I JUST WANT TO POINT IT OUT
19:13:50 [LAUGHTER]
19:13:52 >> ULTRA PRIVATE SECTOR.
19:13:54 >>MIKE SUAREZ: THERE'S BEEN A
19:13:55 LOT OF ACTIVITY, MY FRIEND, BUT
19:13:57 IT HASN'T BEEN WHAT WE WANT.
19:13:58 SO ANYWAY, I LIKE THE IDEA.
19:13:59 I WOULD HOPE THAT THE
19:14:04 INNOVATION ALLIANCE WILL
19:14:06 PARTNER WITH YOU AS A DEVELOPER
19:14:09 TO ACTUALLY PROVIDE SOME OF
19:14:10 THE, YOU KNOW, RIDESHARE OR
19:14:14 THINGS THAT WE DO WITH THE
19:14:14 DOWNTOWN OR HERE.
19:14:16 I KNOW IT'S SOMETHING -- IT'S
19:14:17 SOMETHING THAT MR. SHARPE HAS
19:14:18 TALKED ABOUT BEFORE.
19:14:19 I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT
19:14:21 STOP ON THAT, AND IN ADDITION,
19:14:22 WITH HART AND THE COUNTY AND
19:14:23 THE CITY GETTING MORE MONEY
19:14:25 FROM THE ALL FOR
19:14:26 TRANSPORTATION, I BELIEVE THAT
19:14:27 WE'LL BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY
19:14:29 ENHANCE THAT CORRIDOR AND
19:14:30 ENHANCE WHAT IS NOW THE
19:14:34 METRORAPID INTO A REALLY, YOU
19:14:37 KNOW, WELL -- MUCH MORE
19:14:38 EFFICIENT SYSTEM SO THAT WE CAN
19:14:39 PROVIDE A LOT OF WHAT YOU'RE
19:14:40 DOING.
19:14:41 YOU ARE A PIONEER, BUT I THINK
19:14:43 THAT YOU'RE COMING AT THE EXACT
19:14:44 RIGHT TIME.
19:14:46 YOU ARE COMING IN -- YOU'RE THE
19:14:47 PIONEER THAT'S COMING IN AFTER
19:14:49 THEY'VE DONE THE TRANSATLANTIC,
19:14:50 YOU KNOW, RAILROAD, SO YOU'RE
19:14:51 GOING TO BE THE FIRST ONE ON
19:14:53 THERE, BUT I THINK THAT IT'S
19:14:54 GOING TO BE IMPORTANT AND I
19:14:54 THINK IT'S GOING TO BE AN
19:14:55 IMPORTANT PROJECT, SO
19:14:56 APPRECIATE IT.
19:14:56 >> THANKS.
19:14:57 >>MIKE SUAREZ: THANK YOU.
19:14:58 >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
19:15:00 MR. COHEN.
19:15:00 >>HARRY COHEN: YEAH, TWO
19:15:01 THINGS.
19:15:03 FIRST OF ALL, JUST TO THE
19:15:04 WAIVERS.
19:15:05 I THINK THAT THE WAIVER AGAINST
19:15:08 THE EXPRESSWAY RAMP IS
19:15:09 APPROPRIATE AND REASONABLE, AND
19:15:14 I THINK REASONABLY EXPLAINED.
19:15:16 I WILL TELL YOU THAT UNDER
19:15:16 NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, THIS
19:15:17 AMOUNT OF A PARKING WAIVER
19:15:19 WOULD GIVE ME A LOT OF
19:15:21 HEARTBURN, BUT I AGREE WITH
19:15:22 MR. MIRANDA.
19:15:24 IF THIS IS AN EXCESSIVE PARKING
19:15:25 WAIVER, YOU WILL ULTIMATELY
19:15:27 BEAR THE BRUNT OF IT BECAUSE
19:15:29 THERE ISN'T ANYWHERE ELSE FOR
19:15:30 THESE CARS TO GO AND THERE'S
19:15:31 NOWHERE ELSE FOR THEM TO PARK,
19:15:33 SO I HOPE FOR YOUR SAKE THAT
19:15:34 YOU'VE GOT THE PARKING
19:15:38 CALCULATION CORRECT, BUT --
19:15:40 BECAUSE I THINK THAT WE -- OUR
19:15:44 LEAP OF FAITH IS, IF WE'RE
19:15:45 WRONG, NOT GOING TO BURDEN
19:15:48 ANYBODY BUT YOU, SO I HOPE
19:15:51 YOU'VE THOUGHT IT THROUGH AND
19:15:52 KNOW THAT YOU CAN MAKE IT WORK
19:15:52 WITH THAT.
19:15:54 >> APPRECIATE IT.
19:15:55 >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
19:15:56 ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISH TO
19:15:58 SPEAK ON ITEM NO. 8?
19:15:59 ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISH TO
19:16:00 SPEAK ON ITEM NO. 8?
19:16:08 >> GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE CITY
19:16:09 COUNCIL, MR. CHAIRMAN, BOARD
19:16:10 MEMBERS, STAFF.
19:16:12 MY NAME IS MARK SHARPE.
19:16:14 I AM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF
19:16:15 THE TAMPA INNOVATION
19:16:16 PARTNERSHIP, FORMERLY THE TAMPA
19:16:17 INNOVATION ALLIANCE.
19:16:20 OUR HEADQUARTERS IS AT 2200
19:16:22 FOWLER AVENUE, THE UNIVERSITY
19:16:23 MALL, WHICH IS BEING
19:16:24 REDEVELOPED.
19:16:27 MR. SINGER MADE A VERY POWERFUL
19:16:28 IMPORTANT POINT ABOUT THE FOUR
19:16:30 CORNERS OF OUR INNOVATION
19:16:30 DISTRICT.
19:16:32 FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME THAT I
19:16:33 CAN REMEMBER -- AND I WAS BORN
19:16:34 AND RAISED IN TAMPA -- WE'RE
19:16:36 BEGINNING TO SEE DEVELOPMENT
19:16:38 ACTIVITY IN THE UNIVERSITY
19:16:40 AREA.
19:16:41 WE'RE STARTING TO SEE THE
19:16:42 TRANSFORMATION.
19:16:45 I'VE LONG SAID THAT MORE PEOPLE
19:16:49 TAKE AWAY THEIR PERCEPTION OF
19:16:51 TAMPA WHEN THEY GO TO BUSCH
19:16:54 GARDENS THAN THEY DO ANY OTHER
19:16:56 DESTINATION IN TAMPA BAY.
19:16:58 15,000 PEOPLE A DAY WILL GO TO
19:16:59 BUSCH GARDENS.
19:17:00 SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
19:17:03 OF 10,000 A DAY WILL VISIT THE
19:17:03 VETERANS ADMINISTRATION
19:17:05 HOSPITAL.
19:17:07 THOUSANDS -- SEVERAL THOUSAND A
19:17:11 DAY GO TO MOFFITT CANCER.
19:17:14 USF CAMPUS HAS 43,000 STUDENTS,
19:17:17 AND 33,000 OF THEM DRIVE BY
19:17:18 EVERY DAY, AND I CAN TELL YOU
19:17:20 FOR THE LAST TWO DECADES, AS
19:17:21 YOU'VE ALL FELT AND WE
19:17:23 DISCUSSED IT, WHAT THERE WAS
19:17:25 THERE WAS AN OLD RAMADA INN.
19:17:27 AS I'M TELLING PEOPLE WE WANT
19:17:29 TO BRING TECH COMPANIES AND
19:17:31 CREATE JOBS FOR THE 80,000 WHO
19:17:34 LIVE IN THE UNIVERSITY AREA,
19:17:35 WHAT THE COMPANIES WOULD SEE
19:17:36 WHEN THEY WOULD DRIVE THROUGH
19:17:38 AND COME THROUGH OUR GATEWAY --
19:17:40 AND I CONSIDER BUSCH AND 275
19:17:42 THE GATEWAY TO THE INNOVATION
19:17:43 DISTRICT.
19:17:45 WHAT THEY WOULD SEE WOULD BE AN
19:17:47 OLD DERELICT RAMADA INN JUST
19:17:49 SITTING THERE, AND I PRAYED FOR
19:17:50 THE DAY WHEN SOMEONE WOULD BUY
19:17:51 IT AND DO SOMETHING, AND I TELL
19:17:53 YOU, I WAS JUMPING FOR JOY.
19:17:55 I WAS AT THE TROPICANA CAR WASH
19:17:56 WHEN I LOOKED ACROSS THE STREET
19:17:58 AND I'M LIKE, OH, MY GOSH,
19:17:59 WHAT'S HAPPENING, AND THE
19:18:01 OWNER, A NICE GENTLEMAN SAYS,
19:18:02 THEY'RE TEARING IT DOWN.
19:18:03 I THOUGHT, I'VE GOT TO FIND
19:18:05 THESE GUYS AND BLESS THEM AND
19:18:07 THANK THEM FOR JUST TEARING IT
19:18:07 DOWN, THANK YOU.
19:18:08 BUT THEN WHEN I HEARD THERE
19:18:11 WERE PLANS, AND RISKY PLANS, TO
19:18:13 PUT SOMETHING REALLY ICONIC AT
19:18:14 THAT LOCATION, OUR
19:18:15 ORGANIZATION, THE TAMPA
19:18:17 INNOVATION ALLIANCE, SIX ANCHOR
19:18:19 ORGANIZATIONS, THE UNIVERSITY
19:18:20 OF SOUTH FLORIDA, MOFFITT
19:18:22 CANCER, ADVENT HEALTH, THE
19:18:24 UNIVERSITY MALL, THE VA
19:18:27 HOSPITAL, BUSCH GARDENS, AND
19:18:29 THE 230 BUSINESSES OF OUR
19:18:31 ORGANIZATION, AGAIN, JUMPED FOR
19:18:33 JOY, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WE'RE
19:18:34 ALL JUDGED BY WHAT PEOPLE SEE
19:18:36 WHEN YOU GO BY THERE.
19:18:37 AND TO HAVE A TALL ICONIC
19:18:40 BUILDING, HOTEL, RESTAURANT,
19:18:41 PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY, THIS IS
19:18:42 WHAT WE WANT.
19:18:43 WE THANK YOU.
19:18:44 WE RESPECT YOU.
19:18:45 WE REALLY ARE SO PLEASED BY
19:18:46 WHAT YOU'RE DOING, AND WE'RE
19:18:48 GOING TO STAND BY YOU 100%.
19:18:50 WE'VE TALKED TO MR. LIMMER,
19:18:51 WE'VE TALKED WITH HART.
19:18:52 YES, SIR, MR. SUAREZ, WE'RE

19:18:57 ALREADY HIT THE STREETS.

19:19:00 WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT
19:19:01 THIS IS A TRANSIT-FRIENDLY
19:19:03 PROJECT AND ONE THAT LOOKS TO
19:19:05 THE FUTURE, NOT THE PAST.
19:19:06 THANK YOU ALL.
19:19:06 >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
19:19:08 ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ON

19:20:34 ITEM NO. 9 IS REZ19-13 FOR THE
19:20:37 PROPERTY OF 4703 WEST LAWN
19:20:41 AVENUE FROM RS-60 TO PD.
19:20:42 >>JENNIFER MALONE: GOOD
19:20:43 EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
19:20:46 JENNIFER MALONE, AGAIN, WITH
19:20:46 YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
19:20:48 THIS IS LOCATED IN THE SOUTH
19:20:49 TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT.
19:20:51 IT'S ALSO WITHIN THE COASTAL
19:20:52 HIGH HAZARD AREA AND EVACUATION
19:20:53 ZONE A.
19:20:56 HART ROUTE 17 SERVES THE AREA
19:20:57 AND FOSTER PARK IS THE CLOSEST
19:21:00 PUBLIC RECREATIONAL FACILITY.
19:21:01 THIS IS AN AERIAL OF THE
19:21:03 SUBJECT SITE.
19:21:06 THAT'S MADISON MIDDLE SCHOOL TO
19:21:08 THE NORTH.
19:21:10 THIS IS SOUTH WESTSHORE
19:21:11 BOULEVARD AND SOUTH MANHATTAN,
19:21:12 AND THIS IS WEST LAWN, WHERE
19:21:15 THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED.
19:21:16 THERE'S A LOT OF SINGLE-FAMILY
19:21:16 DETACHED IN THE SURROUNDING
19:21:20 AREA.
19:21:22 THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE IS
19:21:23 RESIDENTIAL-10.
19:21:25 WE HAVE COMMUNITY MIXED USE-35
19:21:27 ALONG SOUTH MANHATTAN AND
19:21:31 RESIDENTIAL-35 ALONG SOUTH
19:21:31 WESTSHORE BOULEVARD.
19:21:32 WE DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT
19:21:34 WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
19:21:37 WE DID A DENSITY ANALYSIS OF
19:21:39 THE STREET AND THE SUBJECT
19:21:39 SITE.
19:21:41 WE FOUND THAT THIS WOULD BRING
19:21:43 THE SUBJECT SITE UP TO AN
19:21:44 OVERALL INTENSITY OF 6.25 UNITS
19:21:46 PER ACRE AND THE MAXIMUM UNDER
19:21:48 THIS FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY
19:21:49 IS 10.
19:21:50 WE DID FIND THIS WOULD BE IN
19:21:52 SIMILAR FORM, HEIGHT, AND SCALE
19:21:53 OF THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL
19:21:55 USES AND THAT IT WOULD BE
19:21:57 COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE AND
19:21:58 CONSISTENT PER THE POLICY
19:21:59 GUIDELINES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE
19:22:00 PLAN, AND THAT CONCLUDES MY
19:22:09 PRESENTATION.
19:22:10 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY
19:22:12 SAMANIEGO, LAND DEVELOPMENT --
19:22:13 OR PLANNING DESIGN AND
19:22:15 DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
19:22:17 THE APPLICANT'S REQUESTING A
19:22:18 TWO-LOT PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.
19:22:21 IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED RS-60.
19:22:25 THE RS-60 STANDARDS REQUIRE A
19:22:27 60-FOOT MINIMUM LOT WIDTH.
19:22:28 THERE'S A SPECIFIC CODE
19:22:29 PROVISION, WHICH I PROVIDED FOR
19:22:31 YOU IN FINDING NO. 1 OF YOUR
19:22:32 STAFF REPORT.
19:22:34 IT SAYS 50% OF THE LOT AREA HAS
19:22:36 TO MAINTAIN THE 60-FOOT LOT
19:22:38 WIDTH.
19:22:40 THE EXISTING LOT, THE ENTIRE
19:22:45 THING IS 130, SO THAT WOULD BE
19:22:47 65 FEET EACH; HOWEVER, BECAUSE
19:22:49 OF THE ANGLES, IT DOESN'T
19:22:51 MAINTAIN THE 50% OF THE LOT
19:22:53 AREA AT 60 FEET WIDE.
19:22:54 THEREFORE, IN ORDER TO
19:22:55 SUBDIVIDE THE PROPERTY, THEY
19:22:58 ARE REQUESTING A PLANNED
19:23:00 DEVELOPMENT TO ALLOW FOR A
19:23:01 SMALLER MINIMUM LOT WIDTH
19:23:03 DEEPER INTO THE LOT.
19:23:06 THERE ARE NO WAIVERS REQUESTED
19:23:07 OR REQUIRED WITH THIS
19:23:11 APPLICATION, AND THERE JUST ARE
19:23:13 ONE CORRECTION FOR LAND
19:23:17 DEVELOPMENT AND ONE FOR NATURAL
19:23:18 RESOURCES, SO THE DEVELOPMENT
19:23:19 COMPLIANCE STAFF FOUND THIS
19:23:20 CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND
19:23:20 DEVELOPMENT CODE.
19:23:21 >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS
19:23:21 FROM COUNCIL?
19:23:23 ALL RIGHT.
19:23:32 THE APPLICANT.
19:23:34 >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL
19:23:34 MEMBERS.
19:23:36 MY NAME IS JOHN LAWLESS HERE ON
19:23:38 BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT.
19:23:48 I DON'T THINK I HAVE A WHOLE
19:23:48 LOT TO ADD.
19:23:49 THE TREE -- AGAIN, WE'RE TRYING
19:23:49 TO IDENTIFY SPECIFICALLY WHERE
19:23:56 THAT TREE LIES, OBVIOUSLY, WE
19:23:58 CAN SEE IT, BUT WE HAVEN'T HAD
19:24:00 AN ACCURATE BOUNDARY SURVEY TO
19:24:01 DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THAT
19:24:01 IS, IN FACT, A BOUNDARY TREE OR
19:24:03 A TREE THAT LIES ON ONE LOT OR
19:24:04 ANOTHER.
19:24:06 WE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE ONE.
19:24:07 UNFORTUNATELY, THE SURVEY THAT
19:24:07 WE RECEIVED DIDN'T SHOW THE
19:24:08 TREE, SO WE'RE ATTEMPTING TO
19:24:09 REMEDY THAT.
19:24:10 WE'RE ALSO ATTEMPTING TO
19:24:12 CONTACT THE EASTERN LANDOWNER
19:24:15 WHO WOULD BE THE OTHER PERSON
19:24:16 WITH THE BOUNDARY TREE.
19:24:18 IN ANY CASE, IF THAT'S UNABLE
19:24:19 TO BE CORRECTED, WE'VE BEEN
19:24:21 ASSURED THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO
19:24:23 ALTER THE LAYOUT OF THE BUILD
19:24:24 TO GO ACCOMMODATE FOR THE TREE,
19:24:25 AND THAT CONCLUDES MY
19:24:26 PRESENTATION.
19:24:26 >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
19:24:27 ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
19:24:29 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WE DON'T
19:24:30 HAVE A PICTURE OF THE TREE OR
19:24:31 NOTHING?
19:24:34 NOBODY TOOK A PICTURE?
19:24:35 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: POINT OF
19:24:35 ORDER.
19:24:38 I'M NOT SURE -- MY APPLICANT
19:24:40 WAS FROM THE ENGINEERING FIRM.
19:24:42 I DON'T HAVE ANY AFFIDAVIT FOR
19:24:43 YOU TO REPRESENT -- ARE YOU THE

19:24:45 >> I AM.

19:25:09 THE PODIUM AND SAY HE
19:25:11 REPRESENTS THEM, I'M HAPPY WITH
19:25:13 THAT.

19:27:25 RIGHT HERE THAT WOULD BE
19:27:27 POTENTIALLY [OFF MICROPHONE],

19:27:38 >> YES, SIR.
19:27:38 >>FRANK REDDICK: PLEASE COME
19:27:39 FORWARD.
19:27:41 >> MY NAME IS JOSEPH ROEBEL.
19:27:43 I'VE LIVED IN THE TAMPA BAY
19:27:45 AREA FOR APPROXIMATELY 30
19:27:45 YEARS.
19:27:46 ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO I PURCHASED
19:27:49 MY PROPERTY AT 4707 WEST LAWN
19:27:50 AVENUE.
19:27:52 I'VE LIVED IN THAT AREA, TO MY
19:27:54 MIND, ABOUT 23 OR 24 YEARS, AND
19:27:56 IN THAT TIME I'VE BEEN ON MY
19:27:57 BICYCLE, I'VE BEEN ON FOOT,
19:28:00 I'VE TRAVELED SOUTH, EAST,
19:28:03 NORTH, IN FRONT OF THIS AREA,
19:28:05 AND THE ONE THING I LIKE ABOUT
19:28:07 LIVING IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA
19:28:09 IS HOW CLOSE IT IS TO HIGHWAYS.
19:28:10 WITNESS GANDY BOULEVARD AND HOW
19:28:11 MANY CHANGES WE SEE IN THAT
19:28:12 PARTICULAR AREA, AND NOW IT'S
19:28:13 UNDERGOING MORE WITH THE
19:28:14 FLYOVER.
19:28:18 THE ONE THING I CAN TELL YOU --
19:28:20 AND THIS I KNOW FOR A FACT -- I
19:28:21 DO NOT KNOW OF ANY OTHER
19:28:22 PROPERTY THAT LOOKS LIKE WHAT
19:28:23 IS BEING PROPOSED HERE ANYWHERE
19:28:27 IN THIS AREA, AROUND MY HOUSE.
19:28:28 THERE'S APARTMENT BUILDINGS ON
19:28:29 WESTSHORE, THERE'S APARTMENT
19:28:32 BUILDINGS AT MANHATTAN, THERE
19:28:33 IS AN APARTMENT BUILDING CLOSE
19:28:36 TO THE JAN PLATT LIBRARY WHICH
19:28:37 STOOD EMPTY AND DESERTED FOR
19:28:39 MANY YEARS AND TO MY
19:28:40 RECOLLECTION HAS ONLY BEEN
19:28:42 RECENTLY RENOVATED IN THE LAST
19:28:43 FIVE OR TEN YEARS.
19:28:44 THE REASON I'M SAYING THIS IS
19:28:46 BECAUSE WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
19:28:48 I DO NOT KNOW ANY OTHER
19:28:49 PROPERTY ANYWHERE IN THIS AREA
19:28:53 THAT THEY'RE EVEN SAYING IN
19:28:54 THEIR OWN PRESENTATION WILL
19:28:56 HAVE A REDUCED PROPERTY LINE.
19:28:58 I UNDERSTAND POSSIBLE REASONS
19:28:59 FOR THIS, BUT I DON'T SEE A
19:29:02 BENEFIT TO THIS.
19:29:04 THE HOME GOING UP NEXT TO MY
19:29:06 HOUSE -- MY HOME'S ABOUT
19:29:07 1600-SQUARE-FOOT.
19:29:09 THAT HOME IS GOING TO BE
19:29:11 3,300-SQUARE-FOOT.
19:29:12 THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE -- THIS
19:29:16 IS THE LOT THAT IS GOING TO BE
19:29:17 NEXT TO THIS, 4703 WEST LAWN
19:29:17 AVENUE.
19:29:18 YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TWO
19:29:19 BUILDINGS THAT DON'T MATCH
19:29:21 ANYTHING IN THE AREA
19:29:22 WHATSOEVER, AN OVER
19:29:24 3,000-SQUARE-FOOT BRAND-NEW
19:29:26 STRUCTURE NEXT TO MY 1600-FOOT
19:29:27 HOME AND NEXT TO ANOTHER HOME
19:29:30 THAT'S ABOUT 1200 SQUARE FEET.
19:29:32 GENTLEMEN, I'M NOT HERE TO
19:29:34 CRITICIZE, DO YOU UNDERSTAND,
19:29:35 PROGRESS IS IMPORTANT; HOWEVER,
19:29:37 WHAT I'M SAYING IS THIS.
19:29:39 WE CAN DO MANY THINGS, BUT TO
19:29:41 WHAT END ARE WE DOING THIS?
19:29:42 WHAT PRECEDENT ARE WE SETTING
19:29:45 BY NOW HAVING REDUCED LOT
19:29:47 SIZES, PUTTING TWO HOMES WHERE
19:29:48 THERE SHOULD HAVE ONLY BEEN
19:29:50 ONE, SINCE THE '50S?
19:29:51 ALMOST ALL THESE HOMES ARE
19:29:52 BUILT FOR, MY UNDERSTANDING
19:29:54 AGAIN, PEOPLE WHO WORKED AT
19:29:55 MACDILL 50 YEARS AGO.
19:29:57 THE HOUSES ARE VERY SMALL, THE
19:29:59 BEDROOMS ARE VERY SMALL.
19:30:00 THE CLOSETS IN THESE HOUSES ARE
19:30:01 VERY SMALL.
19:30:02 THERE'S REASONS FOR THAT.
19:30:03 IT WAS A DIFFERENT TIME WHEN
19:30:04 THIS WAS BUILT.
19:30:06 AND CERTAINLY, THERE'S A REASON
19:30:09 FOR PROGRESS, BUT TO WHAT END
19:30:11 AND TO WHAT BENEFIT?
19:30:16 I DON'T SEE IT, AND I JUST
19:30:17 DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, BUT I
19:30:19 THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, AND I
19:30:19 APPRECIATE IT.
19:30:20 THANK YOU.
19:30:21 >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
19:30:21 ALL RIGHT.
19:30:23 ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ON
19:30:28 ITEM NO. 9?
19:30:41 >> [OFF MICROPHONE].
19:30:42 >>HARRY COHEN: BOTH OF THESE
19:30:44 LOTS, IN ORDER TO MEET THE
19:30:45 RS-60 CRITERIA -- PERHAPS I'M
19:30:47 GOING TO ASK MS. SAMANIEGO THIS
19:30:48 QUESTION.
19:30:49 IN ORDER TO MEET THE CRITERIA,
19:30:50 YOU HAVE TO HAVE 5,000 SQUARE
19:30:53 FEET OF SURFACE SPACE ON THE
19:30:55 LOT; CORRECT?
19:30:56 5,000 SQUARE FEET --
19:30:58 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: NO, SIR, IT'S
19:30:58 6,000 SQUARE FEET.
19:30:59 >>HARRY COHEN: 6,000 SQUARE
19:31:00 FEET.
19:31:01 OKAY.
19:31:02 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: EACH LOT
19:31:06 PROPOSES 65-600 SQUARE FEET.
19:31:07 >>HARRY COHEN: OKAY.
19:31:08 6,000 IS THE MINIMUM; RIGHT?
19:31:10 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: YES.
19:31:11 >>HARRY COHEN: OKAY.
19:31:14 SO WE'VE GOT ONE 7414 AND THE
19:31:16 OTHER ONE 6565?
19:31:19 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: YES.
19:31:20 >>HARRY COHEN: SO THE ONLY
19:31:22 ISSUE IS THE -- WHERE THE
19:31:23 TAPERING ACTUALLY HAPPENS?
19:31:24 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: YES.
19:31:25 THE ONLY ISSUE -- IT'S MY
19:31:27 PROFESSIONAL OPINION, THE ONLY
19:31:28 ISSUE WITH THIS IS THE SHAPE OF
19:31:29 THE LOT.
19:31:31 IT'S ON A CURVE, AS YOU CAN
19:31:32 SEE, AND IT WAS ORIGINALLY
19:31:35 PLATTED LIKE THAT, SO IT WAS
19:31:37 KIND OF PLATTED AS A TRAPEZOID
19:31:39 TO BEGIN WITH BECAUSE OF THE
19:31:41 CURVE OF THE ROAD.
19:31:42 THE PROPERTY NEXT DOOR IS IN A
19:31:43 SIMILAR SITUATION.
19:31:45 YOU CAN SEE IT TAPERS DOWN, SO
19:31:46 THAT'S JUST -- AND THESE
19:31:50 PROPERTIES ON THE STREET TO THE
19:31:51 BACK HAS THE REVERSE BECAUSE
19:31:56 THEY'RE ON A CUL-DE-SAC, SO
19:31:58 WHENEVER A ROAD TENDS TO CURVE,
19:32:02 YOU GET IRREGULAR TRAPEZOIDAL
19:32:04 SHAPES.
19:32:06 >>HARRY COHEN: THANKS.
19:32:07 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: THANK YOU.
19:32:08 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: IT MATCHES
19:32:09 THE LINE ON THE OTHER SIDE OR
19:32:11 THE OPPOSITE.
19:32:13 >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
19:32:18 ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ON
19:32:18 ITEM NO. 9?
19:32:19 >> WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO RESPOND
19:32:20 OR --
19:32:21 >>FRANK REDDICK: YEAH, GO
19:32:21 AHEAD.
19:32:23 >> RESPONDING TO THE CONCERNS,
19:32:25 WITH RESPECT TO HOW FAR WE
19:32:26 ALLOW THIS TO GO, AGAIN, THERE
19:32:29 IS A -- THE IMPACT ON DENSITY
19:32:30 IS WELL WITHIN THE TOLERANCES
19:32:32 FOR THE AREA WHERE WE'RE BELOW
19:32:34 7, THE TOLERANCES 10.
19:32:36 AGAIN, THE LOT SIZES ARE
19:32:36 CONSISTENT.
19:32:37 REALLY, THE ONLY REASON IT'S
19:32:38 EVEN NECESSARY TO SEEK THE
19:32:39 APPROVAL IS BECAUSE OF THE
19:32:40 TAPERING OF THE LOT TOWARD THE
19:32:40 BACK.
19:32:42 WE'RE NOT SEEKING TO BUILD ANY
19:32:45 MULTISTORY RESIDENCES, WE'RE
19:32:46 SEEKING TO BUILD SINGLE-FAMILY
19:32:47 RESIDENCES CONSISTENT OR
19:32:49 SLIGHTLY LARGER WITH THE SIZE
19:32:51 IN THE AREA, NOT WITH RESPECT
19:32:53 TO HEIGHT, JUST WITH RESPECT TO
19:32:54 SQUARE FOOTAGE.
19:32:55 AGAIN, TO THE POINT OF A DEGREE
19:32:57 OF MODERNIZATION, I THINK IT
19:32:57 WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO
19:32:59 CONSIDER, AS THE AREA IS AN
19:33:00 AGING AREA.
19:33:01 ASIDE FROM THAT, I DON'T FIND
19:33:03 THAT IT WOULD BE INCONSISTENT
19:33:05 WITH, AGAIN, THE USE OR THE
19:33:08 CHARACTER OF THE AREA, SIMPLE
19:33:09 TWO SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES
19:33:11 OCCUPYING THE SAME SPACE,
19:33:13 AGAIN, WITH A MINOR ISSUE AS TO
19:33:15 THE TOLERANCES IN THE REAR OF
19:33:18 THE TAPERING LOTS.
19:33:19 >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
19:33:19 ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE
19:33:19 PETITIONER?
19:33:23 CAN I GET A MOTION?
19:33:24 >> SO MOVE.
19:33:25 >> SECOND.
19:33:25 >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.

19:33:28 MR. MANISCALCO, SECONDED BY

19:34:14 >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
19:34:15 ITEM NO. 10.
19:34:16 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY
19:34:18 SAMANIEGO, REZ19-19 FOR THE
19:34:20 PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2015 NORTH
19:34:22 CENTRAL AVENUE AND 2010 LAMAR
19:34:25 STREET FROM RM-24 TO PD,
19:34:29 MULTIFAMILY, RESIDENTIAL.
19:34:30 >>JENNIFER MALONE: JENNIFER
19:34:31 MALONE WITH YOUR PLANNING
19:34:32 COMMISSION STAFF.
19:34:34 THIS IS LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL
19:34:34 TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT WITHIN
19:34:36 THE TAMPA HEIGHTS URBAN
19:34:36 VILLAGE.
19:34:38 THERE'S A TRANSIT STOP ABOUT
19:34:39 230 FEET TO THE SOUTH OF THE
19:34:41 SUBJECT SITE.
19:34:44 IT'S SERVED BY ROUTE 5.
19:34:44 FERNANDO MESA PARK IS LOCATED
19:34:46 ABOUT 1,000 FEET TO THE WEST OF
19:34:47 THE SUBJECT SITE.
19:34:49 THAT'S THE CLOSEST PUBLIC
19:34:51 RECREATIONAL FACILITY, AND THIS
19:34:52 IS NOT LOCATED WITHIN THE
19:34:53 EVACUATION ZONE.
19:34:55 HERE'S AN AERIAL.
19:34:56 IT'S TWO PARCELS LOCATED ALONG
19:35:03 CENTRAL AND LAMAR.
19:35:04 LET'S SEE.
19:35:06 TO THE NORTH, THIS IS SANCTUARY
19:35:09 LOFTS, WHICH YOU MIGHT BE
19:35:11 FAMILIAR WITH, AND EVEN FURTHER
19:35:13 NORTH IS LEE'S GROCERY, WHICH
19:35:16 HAS PIZZA.
19:35:17 >> BEER TOO.
19:35:18 >>JENNIFER MALONE: I'M A FAN.
19:35:19 SO THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE
19:35:22 OF THE SITE IS RESIDENTIAL-83.
19:35:23 THAT'S THAT VERY DARK, DARK
19:35:25 MAROON COLOR, AND THEN TO THE
19:35:27 NORTH IS RESIDENTIAL-35, AND
19:35:28 THEN WE HAVE ALL THIS
19:35:29 RIGHT-OF-WAY BECAUSE IT BUMPS
19:35:30 UP REAL CLOSE TO THE
19:35:32 INTERSTATE, AND THAT'S
19:35:35 REPRESENTED IN THAT GRAY.
19:35:36 THE -- THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
19:35:38 HAS A LOT OF POLICY DIRECTION,
19:35:39 AND IT'S VERY SUPPORTIVE OF
19:35:41 THESE REDEVELOPMENT, ESPECIALLY
19:35:43 HAPPENING WITHIN THESE URBAN
19:35:44 VILLAGES, AND THIS IS REUSING
19:35:48 AN EXISTING HISTORIC STRUCTURE.
19:35:48 THE OVERALL DENSITY IS ALSO
19:35:51 WELL BELOW THE ALLOTTED FUTURE
19:35:52 LAND USE CATEGORY, WHICH ALLOWS
19:35:54 UP TO 83 DWELLING UNITS AN
19:35:55 ACRE.
19:35:56 I HAVE THAT IT WOULD BE WELL
19:35:58 BELOW THAT, SO BASED ON THOSE
19:36:07 POLICIES AND OUR HISTORIC -- WE
19:36:08 HAVE -- SORRY.
19:36:09 EXCUSE ME.
19:36:11 I THINK I'M MISSING A PAGE.
19:36:11 -- HISTORIC REDEVELOPMENT
19:36:14 POLICIES IN OUR URBAN VILLAGES
19:36:16 AND WE FIND THIS CONSISTENT.
19:36:20 THANK YOU.
19:36:21 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY
19:36:22 SAMANIEGO.
19:36:23 JENNIFER SHOWED YOU AN AERIAL
19:36:24 OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
19:36:26 HERE'S THE ZONING MAP.
19:36:29 IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED RM-24.
19:36:32 AGAIN, THEY'RE USING A HISTORIC
19:36:35 STRUCTURE THAT'S LOCATED AT
19:36:41 THIS NORTH CENTRAL AVENUE AND
19:36:42 EAST ROSS AVENUE.
19:36:45 IT WAS BUILT IN 1923 AND IT
19:36:46 USED TO BE AN OLD GROCERY
19:36:48 STORE.
19:36:48 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: JUST BEFORE
19:36:49 I WAS BORN.
19:36:50 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: THANKS.
19:36:51 MAYBE YOUR FAMILY WENT THERE.
19:36:53 THEY ARE PROPOSING TO REUSE THE
19:36:55 HISTORIC STRUCTURE FOR TEN
19:37:00 DWELLING UNITS.
19:37:02 [BELL DINGING]
19:37:05 THAT'S VERY FUNNY.
19:37:05 [LAUGHTER]
19:37:06 HERE'S THE EXISTING STRUCTURE.
19:37:08 I'LL SHOW YOU A PICTURE.
19:37:10 I THINK YOU'RE ALL FAMILIAR
19:37:10 WITH IT.
19:37:11 HERE'S THE EXISTING STRUCTURE.
19:37:13 HERE IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FROM
19:37:15 ROSS, FROM LAMAR, VACANT
19:37:17 GREENSPACE.
19:37:18 TO THE NORTH IS SANCTUARY
19:37:21 LOFTS, A SIMILAR PROJECT WHERE
19:37:22 THEY TOOK A HISTORIC STRUCTURE
19:37:24 AND CONVERTED IT INTO
19:37:24 RESIDENTIAL UNITS.
19:37:26 THIS IS TO THE SOUTH OF THE
19:37:26 PROPERTY.
19:37:29 THE APPLICANT'S REQUIRED TWO
19:37:31 WAIVERS WITH THIS APPLICATION.
19:37:32 THE SECOND ONE IS TO REDUCE THE
19:37:35 REQUIRED USE-TO-USE BUFFER,
19:37:36 MULTIFAMILY UP AGAINST A
19:37:37 SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE IS REQUIRED
19:37:38 A FIVE-FOOT BUFFER.
19:37:39 BECAUSE OF THE EXISTING STAIRS
19:37:42 THAT ARE EXISTING AND REQUIRED
19:37:45 FOR THE MULTIFAMILY USE, THIS
19:37:46 GOES RIGHT UP TO THE PROPERTY
19:37:47 LINE, SO THAT WOULD REDUCE THE
19:37:49 REQUIRED USE-TO-USE BUFFER FROM
19:37:51 FIVE FEET TO ZERO FEET.
19:37:53 AND THEN THERE ARE A SERIES OF
19:37:55 HISTORIC HOMES IN THE
19:37:57 SURROUNDING AREA, AND, AGAIN,
19:38:00 THIS IS THE TAMPA HEIGHTS
19:38:01 COMMUNITY CENTER ACROSS LAMAR
19:38:07 THAT'S UP AGAINST THE HIGHWAY.
19:38:10 SO THEY'RE PROPOSING TEN
19:38:12 DWELLING UNITS WITHIN THE
19:38:18 EXISTING TWO-STORY STRUCTURE.
19:38:18 I KNOW THE APPLICANT WILL GO
19:38:19 INTO MORE DETAIL.
19:38:19 THERE'S GOING TO BE KIND OF A
19:38:21 ROOFTOP AMENITY AND A DECK
19:38:22 BUILT OUT.
19:38:25 THIS WENT BEFORE THE ARC, THE
19:38:26 ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW
19:38:28 COMMISSION, ON MARCH 6TH
19:38:30 BECAUSE IT'S IN THE HYDE PARK
19:38:31 HISTORIC DISTRICT.
19:38:32 THEY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL ON
19:38:33 IT, PROVIDED THE APPLICANT SHOW
19:38:35 THE LANDSCAPE BUFFERING ON THE
19:38:35 PD.
19:38:37 THAT WAS IN RELATION TO THE
19:38:38 SECOND AND LAST WAIVER THEY'RE
19:38:39 REQUESTING.
19:38:40 BASED ON THE NUMBER OF DWELLING
19:38:43 UNITS, THEY'RE REQUIRED 16
19:38:45 PARKING SPACES, THEY'RE WANTING
19:38:47 TO GO DOWN TO NINE, SO THAT'S A
19:38:48 44% PARKING REDUCTION THAT WAS
19:38:51 DISCUSSED AT THE ARC MEETING.
19:38:53 AS PART OF THEIR RECOMMENDING
19:38:54 APPROVAL, THEY WANTED THEM TO
19:38:56 SHOW WHAT LANDSCAPING THEY
19:38:59 WOULD USE TO BUFFER THE PARKING
19:39:01 AREA ON THE PD PLAN.
19:39:03 I'VE INCORPORATED THAT INTO MY
19:39:05 REVISION SHEET FOR CHANGES
19:39:05 BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
19:39:08 READING.
19:39:10 THERE ARE MINOR CHANGES BETWEEN
19:39:11 FIRST AND SECOND READING FROM
19:39:14 LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION,
19:39:15 INCLUDING SOME REVISIONS TO THE
19:39:17 WAIVER LANGUAGE.
19:39:18 TRANSPORTATION DID FIND THIS
19:39:20 INCONSISTENT BECAUSE OF THE 44
19:39:22 PARKING SPACE REDUCTION -- I'M
19:39:24 SORRY -- 44% REDUCTION OF
19:39:26 PARKING SPACES.
19:39:28 AND NATURAL RESOURCES HAS SOME
19:39:30 REFINEMENT TO THE TREE TABLE.
19:39:32 OTHER THAN THAT, OVERALL THE
19:39:33 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND
19:39:34 COMPLIANCE STAFF DID FIND IT
19:39:36 INCONSISTENT BECAUSE OF THE
19:39:37 PARKING WAIVER REDUCTION OF
19:39:39 44%.
19:39:42 DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR
19:39:42 ME AT THIS TIME?
19:39:43 >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS
19:39:44 FROM COUNCIL?
19:39:44 ALL RIGHT.
19:39:50 PETITIONER.
19:39:52 >> J.B. BRICKLEMYER OF JOSEPH
19:39:55 BRICKLEMYER LAW, 3902 HENDERSON
19:39:58 BOULEVARD.
19:39:59 I'D LIKE TO BRIEFLY REVIEW A
19:40:00 COUPLE THINGS WITH THE SITE.
19:40:01 AS MARY SAID, WE'VE HAD MANY
19:40:03 DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN THE
19:40:04 PLANNING FOLKS AND THE LOCAL
19:40:05 COMMUNITY TO TRY TO MAKE SURE
19:40:06 WE'RE DOING THIS CORRECTLY.
19:40:07 WE'RE -- THE PLAN IS TO NOT
19:40:09 CHANGE ANYTHING IN THE -- ON
19:40:11 THE CURRENT SITE, THUS, THE
19:40:12 REASON FOR THE REDUCTION OF
19:40:12 PARKING.
19:40:14 IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO MAINTAIN
19:40:15 THE GREENSPACE REQUIREMENT
19:40:16 WITHOUT HAVING TO DO ANYTHING
19:40:17 ADDITIONAL, SO THAT'S THE MAIN
19:40:19 THING WITH THE PARKING PIECE.
19:40:20 I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU A COUPLE
19:40:21 OF HISTORIC PIECES.
19:40:22 AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'VE ALSO
19:40:24 ADDED AN ADA SPACE, WHICH
19:40:27 WASN'T ORIGINALLY PROVIDED, BY
19:40:28 WITH THE CURRENTLY PAVED AREA
19:40:30 WE'RE ABLE TO PUT AN ADA SPACE
19:40:35 IN THERE AS WELL.
19:40:37 SO I'M GOING TO GO WITH WHAT IT
19:40:39 LOOKED LIKE WITH NO COMMENTS
19:40:42 ABOUT COUNCIL, AND WE'LL SHOW
19:40:44 YOU WHAT IT'S -- WE HOPE TO GET
19:40:46 IT BACK TO.
19:40:48 SO THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE
19:40:49 BACK IN THE DAY.
19:40:50 YOU CAN SEE THE VEHICLES PARKED
19:40:51 ON THE STREET, AND THAT'S ONE
19:40:53 OF THE THINGS THAT CAME UP AT.
19:40:55 ARC MEETING WAS THAT ON-STREET
19:40:56 PARKING, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE
19:40:58 ASKING FOR A PARKING REDUCTION
19:41:00 OF 44%, THAT ON-STREET PARKING
19:41:01 IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE, EVEN
19:41:03 BACK TO THE 1930S WHEN THESE
19:41:06 PHOTOS WERE TAKEN.
19:41:11 AND THIS LAST ONE, IF YOU LOOK
19:41:12 AT THE TOP, YOU CAN SEE THE
19:41:16 BRICK FACADE.
19:41:16 THAT AND THE RENOVATIONS THAT
19:41:18 WERE DONE A NUMBER OF YEARS
19:41:20 BACK, THAT BRICK FACADE IS NO
19:41:21 LONGER THERE OR AT LEAST IT
19:41:23 DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'S THERE,
19:41:24 AND THAT'S PART OF THE -- MY
19:41:26 CLIENT'S INTENT IS TO TAKE IT
19:41:27 BACK TO WHERE IT WAS AND WHAT
19:41:29 IT LOOKS LIKE.
19:41:30 THESE PLANTS HAVE BEEN
19:41:34 CONCEPTUALLY APPROVED BY THE
19:41:37 ARC BUT NOT FINAL APPROVAL.
19:41:37 WE'LL GO BEFORE THEM ON MAY 7TH
19:41:37 TO GET FINAL APPROVAL ON
19:41:37 TEXTURE AND MATERIALS THAT GO
19:41:41 WITH THIS, BUT THE LAYOUT OF
19:41:42 THE PLAN, THE WAY ITS STRUCTURE
19:41:45 WILL GET APPROVED OR -- HAS
19:41:54 GOTTEN CONCEPTUAL APPROVAL.
19:41:57 SO YOU CAN SEE THE POTENTIAL
19:42:03 ROOFTOP AND THE OUTDOOR SPACE
19:42:11 IS BEING ADDED.
19:42:13 >> CAN YOU SHOW ME A PHOTO OF
19:42:13 WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TODAY?
19:42:14 DO YOU HAVE IT?
19:42:16 >> NO, I -- DO YOU HAVE A
19:42:17 CURRENT ONE?
19:42:21 >> THAT'S FINE.
19:42:24 >> THE BLOCK, A HIDEOUS BLOCK.
19:42:24 YOU HAD ONE.
19:42:25 >> [OFF MICROPHONE].
19:42:29 >> NO, I DON'T, BUT MARY DOES.
19:42:37 >> SO THEY'LL JUST STRIP OFF
19:42:38 THE STUCCO AND RESTORE IT?
19:42:39 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: YEAH, IF IT'S
19:42:40 STILL UNDER THERE.
19:42:41 >> THAT WILL BE GREAT.
19:42:42 ALL RIGHT.
19:42:42 THANKS.
19:42:44 >> AND YOU CAN BARELY SEE IT.
19:42:45 THERE'S A BRIEF SET -- IT'S
19:42:46 HARD TO SEE ON THERE.
19:42:48 FROM THE BOTTOM FLOOR UP,
19:42:50 THERE'S A LITTLE INCANTATION,
19:42:52 AND WE INTEND TO USE SOME OF
19:42:53 THAT SPACE WITHOUT ENCROACHING
19:42:54 INTO THE CURRENT SETBACKS TO
19:42:56 BUILD OUT THE BUILDING AND AT
19:42:58 LEAST GIVE IT THE APPEARANCE OF
19:43:00 THE FORMER BRICK THAT IT HAD.
19:43:02 >> ALL RIGHT.
19:43:04 >> THAT'S SUBJECT TO ARC
19:43:05 APPROVAL [OFF MICROPHONE] AND
19:43:07 WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MAY 7TH
19:43:09 FOR THEM TO GIVE US THE
19:43:11 FEEDBACK ON THAT.
19:43:20 SO REGARDS TO THE PARKING,
19:43:23 TAMPA ORDINANCE 27-283, TECH
19:43:26 10, ALLOWS FOR THAT REDUCTION
19:43:29 FOR ANY BUILDING PRIOR TO 1988,
19:43:30 AND AS MARY POINTED OUT, IT WAS
19:43:32 BUILT IN THE EARLY 1920S, 1923
19:43:34 I THINK IT WHEN IT WAS
19:43:35 FINISHED, AND IT MAKES FULL
19:43:37 COMPLIANCE WITH ALL LAND
19:43:37 DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
19:43:40 POSSIBLE, SO IF WE SAY WE HAVE
19:43:41 TO COMPLY WITH THE GREENSPACE
19:43:43 REQUIREMENTS AS THE SITE SITS
19:43:45 TODAY AND WE HAVE TO EXPAND THE
19:43:47 PARKING, WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH
19:43:48 MEETING GREENSPACE REQUIREMENTS
19:43:50 ON THE SITE, SO THAT PROVIDES
19:43:51 SOME JUSTIFICATION, WE THINK,
19:43:52 FOR THE REDUCTION.
19:43:54 IN ADDITION, THE TAMPA HEIGHTS
19:43:55 CIVIC ASSOCIATION, ON WEDNESDAY
19:43:57 NIGHT, I THINK, SENT COUNCIL AN
19:43:58 EMAIL IN SUPPORT OF BOTH THE
19:44:00 PROJECT AND THE REDUCTION OF
19:44:00 PARKING.
19:44:02 I'VE MET WITH THEM A NUMBER OF
19:44:04 TIMES AND HAVE REVIEWED PLANS,
19:44:05 AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO
19:44:07 ONGOING WITH THE ARCHITECTURAL
19:44:08 REVIEW TO MAKE SURE WE'RE
19:44:09 MEETING THEIR DESIRES AS FAR AS
19:44:11 WHAT THE BUILDING ENDS UP
19:44:13 LOOKING LIKE IN THE END.
19:44:18 WITH THAT, I DON'T HAVE ANY
19:44:18 ADDITIONAL COMMENTARY.
19:44:18 QUESTIONS, COUNCIL?
19:44:23 >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
19:44:23 MR. SUAREZ.
19:44:24 >>MIKE SUAREZ: THAT OUTSIDE
19:44:26 FEATURE THAT EXTENDS OFF OF IT
19:44:27 THAT'S AN EXTENSION OF THE
19:44:28 BUILDING ITSELF WHICH LOOKS
19:44:30 LIKE A PATIO TYPE THING ON THE
19:44:32 SECOND FLOOR RIGHT THERE, IS
19:44:33 THAT THE REASON WHY IT'S --
19:44:35 IT'S GOING TO HURT -- IT'S
19:44:36 GOING TO HURT THE NUMBER OF
19:44:37 SPACES THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO PUT
19:44:39 OUT THERE OR -- I WAS JUST
19:44:41 CURIOUS BECAUSE WHEN I SAW
19:44:41 THAT --
19:44:42 >> NO, SIR, THAT'S THE BACK OF
19:44:44 THE BUILDING, AND THE INTENT IS
19:44:46 TO PUT AN OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE
19:44:48 UP AND ALSO MEET THE SECONDARY
19:44:49 EGRESS REQUIREMENTS, SO WE'RE
19:44:51 KIND OF TRYING TO KILL TWO
19:44:52 BIRDS WITH ONE STONE, SO WE'LL
19:44:54 GET A NICE LIVING SPACE OUT
19:44:55 THERE, POTENTIALLY SHARED
19:44:57 AMONGST THE ENTIRE CONDO
19:44:58 ASSOCIATION OR POTENTIALLY FOR
19:45:00 THOSE RESIDENTS, WE HAVEN'T
19:45:01 EXACTLY SORTED THAT OUT, AND
19:45:03 WE'LL PARK UNDERNEATH THAT, SO
19:45:04 THE ADA SPACE, THOSE DOORS ON
19:45:05 THE BOTTOM YOU SEE RIGHT HERE
19:45:07 AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CHART,
19:45:09 THAT'S WHERE THE ADA PARKING
19:45:10 SPACES --
19:45:10 >>MIKE SUAREZ: THAT'S WHAT I
19:45:11 WAS THINKING.
19:45:12 IT LOOKS LIKE IT TAKES UP SOME
19:45:14 OF THAT SPACE A LITTLE BIT
19:45:15 BECAUSE OF THE WAY YOU'VE DONE
19:45:15 IT, BUT SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO
19:45:17 TAKE AWAY PARKING IN ORDER TO
19:45:19 IMPROVE THE BUILDING ITSELF,
19:45:20 AND SO THAT'S WHAT I WAS
19:45:20 LOOKING AT.
19:45:22 >> ACTUALLY, WE DON'T LOSE ANY
19:45:23 PARKING SPACES.
19:45:24 >>MIKE SUAREZ: YOU DON'T LOSE
19:45:24 ANY?
19:45:25 >> NO, SIR.
19:45:26 BECAUSE THE SET OF STAIRS
19:45:28 COMING DOWN THIS SIDE IS GOING
19:45:29 TO OFFSET.
19:45:30 AS YOU CAN SEE, IT COMES OUT A
19:45:30 LITTLE BIT HERE.
19:45:31 IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO SEE ON
19:45:31 THE PICTURE.
19:45:32 IT COMES OUT THERE.
19:45:35 SO THAT'S GOING TO BE IN THE
19:45:37 ZERO LINE SETBACK THAT MARY WAS
19:45:37 ALLUDING TO THAT WE HAD
19:45:38 REQUESTED A WAIVER BECAUSE OF
19:45:39 THE STAIRCASE THAT'S ALREADY IN
19:45:41 THAT SETBACK.
19:45:41 >>MIKE SUAREZ: OKAY.
19:45:42 THANK YOU.
19:45:42 >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY OTHER
19:45:43 QUESTIONS TO THE APPLICANT?
19:45:45 ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISH TO
19:45:46 SPEAK TO ITEM NO. 10.

19:51:46 FOR A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.
19:51:53 THIS IS A RESULT OF A HISTORIC
19:51:55 HOUSE MOVE.
19:51:57 THERE'S A HISTORIC HOUSE DOWN
19:51:58 THE STREET THAT IS ACROSS FROM
19:52:03 EPICUREAN JUST SOUTH OF THE
19:52:07 BERN'S STEAKHOUSE COMPLEX, AS
19:52:07 IT WERE.
19:52:09 THEY ARE MOVING THAT HISTORIC
19:52:10 HOUSE TO THIS LOCATION.
19:52:11 THIS LOCATION WAS AN EXISTING
19:52:12 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR A
19:52:15 SEMI-DETACHED PROJECT THAT WAS
19:52:16 DEVELOPED AND IS CURRENTLY
19:52:20 LOCATED OUT ON-SITE.
19:52:22 THAT PROJECT WAS, FOR THE
19:52:27 RECORD, Z98-09, AND IT WAS TO
19:52:28 DEVELOP TWO SINGLE-FAMILY
19:52:31 DWELLING UNITS.
19:52:34 SO NOW THE APPLICANT IS
19:52:36 REQUESTING TO DEMOLISH THE
19:52:36 SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLING UNITS
19:52:38 THAT WERE APPROVED AND BUILT AS
19:52:42 A RESULT OF THE PD IN 1998 AND

19:52:46 RELOCATE THE HISTORIC HOUSE

19:52:53 THERE ARE NO WAIVERS BEING
19:52:54 REQUESTED.
19:52:55 IT'S A SINGLE-FAMILY HISTORIC
19:52:55 HOUSE.
19:52:57 I KNOW THE APPLICANT WILL GO
19:52:59 INTO DETAIL DESCRIBING THE
19:53:01 HISTORY OF THE HOUSE AND THE
19:53:03 LOT DESIGN.
19:53:05 BASICALLY, THERE'S A VERY LARGE
19:53:06 TREE IN FRONT THAT WILL HAVE TO
19:53:09 BE REMOVED.
19:53:10 AGAIN -- LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT
19:53:11 IT LOOKS LIKE.
19:53:14 IT'S IN VERY PROXIMITY TO THE
19:53:16 ROAD AS WELL AS TO THE EXISTING
19:53:20 STRUCTURE.
19:53:24 AND THERE'S -- I'M SORRY --
19:53:25 THIS TREE WILL BE RETAINED.
19:53:26 THEY WILL COME OFF OF THE ALLEY
19:53:28 WITH A DRIVEWAY TO AN ACCESSORY
19:53:31 STRUCTURE FOR PARKING.
19:53:33 BASICALLY, IT'S JUST A
19:53:33 SINGLE-FAMILY LOT.
19:53:34 THERE ARE NO WAIVERS BEING
19:53:36 REQUESTED.
19:53:37 THEY'RE COMPLYING WITH THE
19:53:38 STANDARD RESIDENTIAL,
19:53:41 SINGLE-FAMILY ZONING DISTRICT
19:53:43 SETBACKS, SO OTHER THAN THAT,
19:53:44 THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND
19:53:46 COMPLIANCE STAFF DID FIND IT
19:53:47 CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF
19:53:49 TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
19:53:51 NOW JENNIFER WILL DO HER
19:53:52 PRESENTATION, UNLESS YOU HAVE
19:53:53 QUESTIONS.
19:53:54 NO.
19:53:54 THANK YOU.

19:54:02 I WANTED MARY TO PROVIDE SOME
19:54:03 BACKGROUND BECAUSE IT WOULD

19:54:05 POLICIES.
19:54:07 IT IS LOCATED IN THE SOUTH
19:54:10 TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT IN THE
19:54:11 HYDE PARK URBAN VILLAGE.
19:54:14 IT KIND OF BUMPS UP AGAINST THE
19:54:15 SELMON EXPRESSWAY.
19:54:16 IT'S ON JETTON AVENUE, AND THIS
19:54:17 IS SOUTH ALBANY.
19:54:19 IT'S PREDOMINANTLY
19:54:20 SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED IN THAT
19:54:21 AREA, AND THE FUTURE LAND USE
19:54:22 IS RESIDENTIAL-10, AND I WOULD

19:55:54 KEVIN IS THE GENERAL MANAGER OF
19:55:54 THE EPICUREAN HOTEL, WHICH IS
19:55:56 ASSOCIATED WITH BERN'S

19:55:58 IT'S ACROSS THE STREET FROM
19:55:59 THIS HISTORIC HOUSE WE'RE GOING
19:56:00 TO BE MOVING, AND WE'LL EXPLAIN
19:56:02 IN A MOMENT WHY WE'RE MOVING
19:56:02 IT.
19:56:05 KEVIN DOES AN ADMIRAL JOB, AND
19:56:07 I WANT TO INTRODUCE SCOOTER --

19:56:10 WE CALL HIM SCOOTER.
19:56:10 HE'S HEAD OF OUR VALET AND
19:56:12 PARKING OPERATIONS.
19:56:13 THAT WILL BENEFIT TREMENDOUSLY
19:56:13 BY THIS HOUSE MOVE BECAUSE
19:56:16 IT'LL FREE UP A LOT OF PARKING
19:56:17 THAT'S IN DESPERATE NEED DOWN
19:56:17 IN THAT AREA, SOUTH TAMPA IN
19:56:18 SOHO.
19:56:20 AND I WANT TO INTRODUCE THE
19:56:21 OTHER PIECE OF OUR TEAM WHO'S
19:56:23 WORKED VERY HARD WITH MARY.
19:56:25 BEFORE MARY, OBVIOUSLY, WE HAD

19:56:30 AND MARY'S PICKED UP THE SLACK.
19:56:30 SO KIM HEADLAND.
19:56:33 KIM IS WITH WILDER -- KIM IS
19:56:33 WITH WILDER ARCHITECTURE.
19:56:34 I STARTED WITH MR. WILDER
19:56:37 INITIALLY, AND AS YOU KNOW, HE
19:56:38 PASSED AWAY.
19:56:39 THE WILDER ARCHITECTURAL FIRM
19:56:41 WITH JOHN THOMPSON HAS WORKED
19:56:44 IN THE HISTORIC RENOVATION OF
19:56:45 HILLSBOROUGH HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH
19:56:48 THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB ON.
19:56:49 ELAINE ILLES.
19:56:52 ELAINE, RAISE YOUR HAND.
19:56:54 ELAINE HAS MOVED 65 HOMES IN
19:56:55 YBOR CITY AND HAS EXTENSIVE
19:56:57 EXPERIENCE IN HOUSE MOVING, SO
19:56:58 ELAINE IS PART OF OUR TEAM.
19:57:00 AND, OF COURSE, I CAN'T MISS
19:57:02 PAUL SIERRA, PAUL SIERRA
19:57:03 CONSTRUCTION.
19:57:03 PAUL'S WORKED ON -- HE'S
19:57:05 WORKING ON THE MULTIYEAR
19:57:07 RENOVATION OF A HISTORIC CUBAN
19:57:10 CLUB RIGHT NOW IN YBOR CITY.
19:57:10 HE'S DONE THE CENTRO
19:57:10 AUSTERIANO, THE EL CENTRO
19:57:10 ESPANOL OF WEST TAMPA, AND THE
19:57:15 AL LOPEZ HOME IS ANOTHER ONE OF
19:57:16 HIS PROJECTS THAT HE RESTORED
19:57:17 HERE IN TAMPA.
19:57:19 AND FINALLY, I WANT TO MENTION
19:57:20 -- THEY'RE NOT HERE TONIGHT,
19:57:22 BUT HABITAT FOR HUMANITY, THE
19:57:24 HOUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE
19:57:26 REPLACING, THE DUPLEX, I SHOULD
19:57:27 SAY, RATHER THAN THROW THE
19:57:30 ENTIRE HOME INTO A DUMPSTER AND
19:57:31 A LANDFILL, WE'VE CONTACTED
19:57:33 HABITAT, SO THEY'LL BE ABLE TO
19:57:35 TAKE EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF THE
19:57:37 TWO HOMES -- THE DUPLEX THERE,
19:57:39 THE DOORS, WINDOWS, APPLIANCES,
19:57:41 THEY'LL BE ABLE TO USE ALL
19:57:43 THOSE PARTS FOR SOME DESERVING
19:57:44 FAMILY OR A COUPLE FAMILIES
19:57:46 HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY, SO
19:57:47 THANKS TO HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
19:57:50 FOR WORKING WITH US ON THAT.
19:57:54 ON THE -- TO SHOW YOU WHERE
19:57:55 WE'RE AT, I THINK THEY
19:57:56 MENTIONED IT TO US EARLIER,
19:58:01 THIS IS HOWARD AVENUE -- FLIP
19:58:01 FORWARD.
19:58:02 ON HOWARD AVENUE.
19:58:04 THIS IS THE HOME RIGHT HERE.
19:58:06 IT'S RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE
19:58:06 EPICUREAN.
19:58:09 THIS IS THE 19 -- I BELIEVE THE
19:58:09 1920 MAP OR AN OLD HISTORIC MAP
19:58:12 OF HISTORIC HYDE PARK.
19:58:13 THIS IS WHERE BERN'S STEAKHOUSE
19:58:13 IS NOW.
19:58:16 THIS IS THE EPICUREAN PROPERTY
19:58:17 AND PARKING GARAGE.
19:58:19 AND THERE'S THREE HISTORIC
19:58:21 STRUCTURES THAT DAVID LAXER IS
19:58:23 THE PROUD OWNER OF, AND WE HAD
19:58:24 THE FIRST OPTION OF TAKING
19:58:25 THESE THREE DOWN AND
19:58:27 DEMOLISHING THEM AT FIRST, BUT
19:58:29 WE DECIDED AT -- YOU KNOW, WHAT
19:58:31 CAN WE DO TO WORK WITH THE CITY
19:58:31 AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO
19:58:32 PRESERVE THESE THREE
19:58:34 STRUCTURES, AND THAT'S EXACTLY
19:58:35 WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT.
19:58:37 SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH
19:58:39 THE TWO-STORY APARTMENT HOUSES
19:58:40 THAT ARE THERE NOW, THEY'RE
19:58:42 GOING TO BE FULLY RESTORED TO
19:58:47 THE 1920 FORM OR WHATEVER YOU
19:58:50 WANT TO CALL IT THAT THEY WERE,
19:58:52 AND THEY'LL BE USED AS PART OF
19:58:53 THE EPICUREAN FOR LONG-TERM
19:58:54 USE.
19:58:56 THEY'LL HAVE A LIVING ROOM,
19:58:57 DINING ROOM, KITCHEN, AND
19:58:59 PEOPLE THAT WANT TO STAY LONGER
19:58:59 AND NOT STAY IN A HOTEL,
19:59:01 THEY'LL BE ABLE TO RENT ONE OF
19:59:03 THE NEWLY RENOVATED ROOMS THAT
19:59:03 WILL BE PART OF THAT [OFF
19:59:03 MICROPHONE] THAT OUR TEAM WILL
19:59:05 BE WORKING ON AS WELL.
19:59:06 AND ALSO, GETTING TO THE HOUSE,
19:59:08 THE HOUSE IS JUST OUT OF PLACE.
19:59:10 IF YOU LOOK AT THE HOUSE, IT'S
19:59:11 A HOUSE BETWEEN TWO BUILDINGS,
19:59:14 SO ONE BUILDING ON THE CORNER
19:59:16 HERE IS WHERE BERN'S STORES
19:59:18 SOME OF THAT FAMOUS WINE THAT
19:59:20 WE TALK ABOUT A LOT IN A BIG
19:59:22 WHITE BUILDING THAT'S THERE,
19:59:24 AND, OF COURSE, THE TWO HOUSES,
19:59:25 SO THE HOUSE WE'RE GOING TO
19:59:27 MOVE, LIKE WE SAID EARLIER,
19:59:32 INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND IT
19:59:33 WILL BE REPLACING -- WE
19:59:35 COULDN'T FACE THE HOUSE NORTH,
19:59:36 SO WE KIND OF FELT -- DAVID
19:59:48 FELT THE BEST PLACE FOR IT TO
19:59:50 BE --
19:59:01:08 >> IT'S NOT A VERY BIG HOUSE.
19:59:35:16 1100, SQUARE FEET.
19:59:38:27 WE HAVE AN AUXILIARY STRUCTURE
19:59:41:02 FOR PARKING AND WE WILL RESTORE
19:59:43:08 THE PORCH.
19:59:44:11 IT'S ENCLOSED NOW.
19:59:45:15 WE WILL TAKE OFF THE MIAMI
19:59:47:23 WINDOW, THE VINYL SIDING WHICH
19:59:49:18 WASN'T AROUND IN 1920 AND THAT
19:59:51:19 WILL BE PAUL AND KIM'S JOB, IN
19:59:53:12 ADDITION TO WORKING WITH
19:59:54:29 MR. VELO.
19:59:59:10 THAT'S WHY WE ARE HERE TONIGHT.
20:00:01:00 I MET WITH ALL OF THE
20:00:02:07 NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AND

20:00:18:22 DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY THIS.
20:00:20:23 THEY ASKED IF WE WOULD AGREE TO
20:00:22:23 THOSE THINGS WHICH WE WILL DO.
20:00:24:24 NUMBER ONE WE REDESIGNATED AS A
20:00:31:22 HISTORIC CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURE
20:00:32:16 TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
20:00:33:15 WE AGREED TO THAT AND SAID YES.
20:00:35:24 WE WILL RESET THE HOME TO THE
20:00:37:23 SAME FLOOR HEIGHTS AS THE OTHER

20:01:19:13 THERE IS NO SIDEWALK HERE NOW.
