07:12:01 IF YOU WOULD PLEASE REFER TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT
07:12:03 COORDINATION RELATED TO THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN
07:12:05 OF THE IMMEDIATE AREA.
07:12:07 SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, STAFF IS AVAILABLE TO
07:12:09 ANSWER THEM.
07:12:10 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
07:12:12 HEARING NONE, MR. GRANDOFF?
07:12:14 >>JOHN GRANDOFF: YES.
07:12:16 THANK YOU, MR. MASSEY.
07:12:19 I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO MEESHA ZELTSER.
07:12:25 I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT HIS FAMILY AND HIS PLANS FOR THE
07:12:28 PROPERTY.
07:12:28 >> COUNCILMEN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
07:12:32 MY NAME IS MIKHAIL ZELTSER, MY WIFE GALINA AND THREE OF
07:12:37 OUR YOUNG KIDS UNDER TEN AND MY MOTHER IN LAW LIVES
07:12:42 ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION AT 2908 WEST EUCLID
07:12:45 AVENUE.
07:12:46 WE ORIGINALLY PURCHASED RIGHT NEXT TO US ABOUT THREE
07:12:48 YEARS AGO WHEN OUR NEIGHBOR PASSED AWAY.
07:12:52 WITH THE INTENT OF HAVING THE PROPERTY FOR MY
07:12:55 MOTHER-IN-LAW TO LIVE WHO IS AGING, AND GETTING HARD FOR
07:12:58 HER TO GO UP AND DOWN THE STAIRS.
07:13:01 WE HAVE TO USE PART OF OUR RETIREMENT FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO
07:13:05 PURCHASE THAT PROPERTY.
07:13:06 WE WANT TO BE NEARBY, AND AS YOU GUYS KNOW, THE PROPERTY
07:13:10 VALUATION HAVE BEEN GOING UP SO MUCH IT'S HARD TO FIND A
07:13:12 SMALL HOUSE THAT'S AFFORDABLE FOR SOMEBODY THAT IS
07:13:15 RETIRED.
07:13:16 UNFORTUNATELY, THE LOT IS SO BIG THAT IT'S TOO MUCH FOR
07:13:20 WHAT SHE NEEDS FOR THE HOUSE SIZE THAT SHE NEEDS.
07:13:23 THE INTENT FOR US IS TO BE ABLE TO SUBDIVIDE INTO TWO
07:13:26 LOTS TO MATCH WHAT BAY VISTA WAS ORIGINALLY PLATTED FOR
07:13:31 AND TO BE ABLE TO BUILD A SINGLE FAMILY SINGLE STORY
07:13:35 RANCH FOR HER SO SHE CAN HELP US RAISE HER GRANDKIDS, AND
07:13:39 BE ABLE SOMETIME REVERSE FOR HER INVESTMENT FOR HER
07:13:45 RETIREMENT SO SHE DOESN'T USE HER RETIREMENT FUNDS.
07:13:48 WE HAVE BEEN IN THE AREA FOR OVER TEN YEARS.
07:13:50 WE LIVED IN THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR.
07:13:52 BOTH MY WIFE AND I WENT TO USF.
07:13:54 WE ARE PRETTY CLOSE TO THE COMMUNITY.
07:13:56 BY NO MEANS AM I A DEVELOPER OR FAMILY ARE DEVELOPERS.
07:14:00 IT'S PURELY FOR OUR FAMILY'S USE.
07:14:02 WE THINK WANTS TO BE SURE OUR KIDS ARE STAYING CLOSE TO
07:14:05 THEIR GRANDMOTHER.
07:14:06 WE HAVE AN AREA FOR THEM TO RUN AROUND, AND SHORTCOMING
07:14:11 IN SOUTH TAMPA AS YOU GUYS KNOW.
07:14:13 AND WITH PROPERTY VALUES GOING UP IT'S HARD TO FIND
07:14:16 SOMETHING CLOSER TO US.
07:14:18 AND THAT WAS OUR SOLUTION.
07:14:19 AS YOU GUYS SAW ON THE MAP, AND MY BACKGROUND IS
07:14:24 ENGINEERING, AND I OVERANALYZE EVERYTHING.
07:14:28 AS A VISUAL AID, I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY HOW TO TURN THIS
07:14:32 ON.
07:14:34 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IT WILL GO ON BY ITSELF.
07:14:35 >> OKAY.
07:14:36 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF YOU COULD JUST BRING IT UP.
07:14:41 WHILE WE ARE WAITING IF YOU COULD CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE
07:14:47 BEEN SWORN IN, PLEASE.
07:14:48 >> I HAVE.
07:14:50 THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT OBVIOUSLY THE ZONING
07:14:52 DEPARTMENT ALREADY PUT TOGETHER FOR YOU.
07:14:54 BUT WHAT YOU SEE IN GREEN, I WANT TO POINT OUT THE
07:14:59 PROPERTIES AROUND OUR PROPERTY WHICH IS IN PURPLE THAT
07:15:01 HAVE THE 50-FOOT WIDE LOTS AND HAVE HOUSES DEVELOPED ON
07:15:05 THEM, THAT YELLOW IS THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION.
07:15:09 SO WE ARE MERELY TRYING TO MATCH THAT OF WHAT ALREADY HAS
07:15:12 BEEN DEVELOPED IN THE AREA.
07:15:14 I AM NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING INCONSISTENT WITH THAT FOR
07:15:19 OUR FAMILY'S USE.
07:15:20 WITH THAT I WILL GO AHEAD AND PASS IT ON TO JOHN GRANDOFF
07:15:23 TO FINISH THE COMMENTS.
07:15:25 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
07:15:29 >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
07:15:32 >> MR. GRANDOFF, ANYTHING ELSE?
07:15:35 >>JOHN GRANDOFF: YES.
07:15:36 MADAM CLERK, MY TIME, PLEASE?
07:15:38 >> YOU HAVE 12 MINUTES.
07:15:41 >>JOHN GRANDOFF: OKAY.
07:15:42 WE'LL DO THAT QUICKER.
07:15:46 IN 1916, THE BELL A VISTA PLAT WAS LAID ON THE GROUND AND
07:15:52 CREATED TWO 55-FOOT LOTS.
07:15:55 MEESHA AND HIS FAMILY WANTS TO RETURN BACK TO THE PLAN OF
07:15:58 THAT PLAT.
07:16:00 MEESHA LIVES HERE AND WANTS TO BUILD TWO HOMES THERE ON
07:16:04 55-FOOT LOTS.
07:16:06 THE ZONING IS RS-60 SO WE ARE REZONING TO RS-50.
07:16:12 THE FINDINGS THAT MR. MANASSE QUITE ABLY PREPARED, WHICH
07:16:17 GOES INTO THE PERCENTAGES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BASICALLY
07:16:22 BREAK DOWN TO 58% OR GREATER THAN 60 FEET, AND 42% ARE
07:16:33 LESS THAN 60 FEET.
07:16:35 OUR PURPLE THIS EVENING IS NOT TO SPLIT HAIRS OR DEBATE
07:16:41 MATHEMATICS.
07:16:42 I THINK THE GREATER GUIDE FOR YOU THIS EVENING IS SIMPLY
07:16:48 THE POPULATION GROWTH OF OUR CITY, PARTICULARLY THE INTER
07:16:54 BAY PENINSULA AND THE FINDINGS FROM THE PLANNING
07:16:56 COMMISSION, WHICH FOUND NO NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF THIS
07:16:59 REZONING.
07:17:01 TO QUOTE ON THE SECOND PAGE OF THE REPORT.
07:17:04 IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THE PROJECTED POPULATION INCREASE
07:17:07 WITH LIMITED LAND RESOURCES, TO MORE EFFICIENTLY AND
07:17:11 PURCHASE SEWER A DEVELOPMENT PATTERN THAT IS MORE
07:17:14 ECONOMICALLY SOUND, BY ENCOURAGING IN-FILL DEVELOPMENT ON
07:17:18 VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED SITES.
07:17:22 WE ARE AS A CITY ENCOURAGING IN-FILL DEVELOPMENT ALL OVER
07:17:24 THE CITY, AND THE INTERBAY PENINSULA IS JUST DUE IN-FILL
07:17:31 DEVELOPMENT AS OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY, AS PROVEN BY THE
07:17:34 ORIGINAL PLAT.
07:17:35 WE ARE SIMPLY BUILDING WHAT WAS ULTIMATELY CONTEMPLATED
07:17:38 BY THE SUBDIVIDER.
07:17:41 IN THE FINDINGS OF FACT ON THE LAST PAGE OF THE REPORT,
07:17:47 QUOTE, FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF ADVERSE IMPACTS ON THE
07:17:49 SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:17:50 AND I AM QUOTING RESIDENTIALLY ZONING PROPERTIES FRONTING
07:17:53 A LONG THIS PORTION OF THE SUBJECT SITE HAVE AN OVERALL
07:17:57 DENSITY OF 4.82 UNITS PER ACRE.
07:18:00 THIS PROJECT WILL BE A DENSITY THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH
07:18:03 THE RESIDENTIAL 10 LAND USE PLAN.
07:18:06 NOW, WHAT AM I SPEAKING ABOUT?
07:18:08 THE EFFECTIVE DENSITY OF THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO BE 6 .5
07:18:13 PER ACRE.
07:18:14 THE LAND USE PLAN, WHICH ENCOURAGES DEVELOPMENT, DIRECTS
07:18:18 DEVELOPMENT, PLANS DEVELOPMENT, THAT THIS GENTLEMAN
07:18:23 RELIES UPON, IS TEN UNITS PER ACRE.
07:18:27 SO WE ARE WAY SUB, BELOW THE POSSIBLE CEILING OF OUR TEN,
07:18:34 AND TO PROPERLY DISTRIBUTE MUNICIPAL SERVICES,
07:18:37 PARTICULARLY WATER, SEWER, SOLID WASTE COLLECTION, YOU
07:18:40 HAVE TO USE THE DENSITY THAT'S ON THE PLAN TO DEVELOP
07:18:45 ACCORDING TO THE PLAN, SERVE THE MUNICIPAL SERVICES THAT
07:18:49 TURNS THE COMMON WILL.
07:18:51 WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT MEESHA, HE'S NOT A DEVELOPER
07:18:53 THAT'S COMING IN JUST TO BUILD TWO HOMES AND MOVE ON.
07:18:56 THIS IS HIS FAMILY PROJECT.
07:18:57 THIS WILL BE A FAMILY PROPERTY, A LEGACY PROPERTY TO HIS
07:19:02 FAMILY.
07:19:02 AND I THINK THE LAND USE PLAN AND THE CATEGORY
07:19:07 CONTEMPLATES WHAT MEESHA IS PLANNING.
07:19:10 THE REPORT CONCLUDES ON THE FINAL PAGE THAT THERE MUST BE
07:19:14 AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF HOUSING AVAILABLE TO MEET THE
07:19:17 NEEDS, TO MEET THE NEEDS.
07:19:20 HOUSING IS A NEED OF TAMPA'S PRESENT AND FUTURE
07:19:24 POPULATION.
07:19:24 THIS IS POLICY 2.1.2.
07:19:27 AND IT CONCLUDES BY SAYING THAT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
07:19:30 IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE FINE GRAIN
07:19:34 DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ALONG WEST EUCLID AVENUE, SUPPORTS
07:19:37 MANY OF THE HOUSING POLICIES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN,
07:19:39 AND IS CONSISTENT -- CONSISTENT WITH THE LONG-RANGE
07:19:45 DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ENCOURAGED BY THE RESIDENTIAL 10
07:19:53 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN CATEGORY.
07:19:56 CONSISTENT AND ENCOURAGED.
07:20:00 THOSE ARE VERY IMPORTANT WORDS IN LAND USE PLANNING.
07:20:05 I HAVE A LETTER OF SUPPORT THAT'S BEEN ISSUED BY A
07:20:09 GENTLEMAN WHO LIVES ON BAY VILLA.
07:20:17 IN SUMMARY, MR. MATT O'BRIEN WROTE THIS LETTER, 1001 WEST
07:20:23 BAY VILLA AND REZONING APPLICATION, I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE
07:20:28 APPLICANT IS REQUESTING.

07:20:40 CHARACTER.

07:21:08 SUBMIT THAT THERE IS AMPLE SUPPORT AND EVIDENCE TO
07:21:12 APPROVE THIS REZONING.

07:21:59 PROPERTY.
07:21:59 THANK YOU, MR. GRANDOFF.
07:22:01 >>JOHN GRANDOFF: MAY I RESPOND BRIEFLY?

07:22:08 AND I AS A MATTER OF PRACTICE ALWAYS COUNSEL MY CLIENTS
07:22:12 TO TRY TO BUILD ACCORDING TO THE EUCLIDEAN DISTRICT
07:22:15 BECAUSE IT'S MORE EFFICIENT, AND LESS TAXING ON RESOURCES
07:22:18 OF THE CITY, AND I DID NOT, IN MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION,
07:22:21 DID NOT SEE A NEED FOR PD, NO EXTRAORDINARY BOUNDARIES OR
07:22:28 TREES OR WATER BODY.

07:27:04 NOW, THIS WAS A CONTINUED REZONING.
07:27:06 IT WAS HEARD BEFORE CITY COUNCIL ON NOVEMBER 12, 2020.
07:27:10 DURING THE HEARING THERE WAS DISCUSSION REGARDING THE
07:27:12 POSSIBILITY OF THE APPLICANT AMENDING THE SITE PLAN
07:27:15 BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING TO ADJUST THE PLACEMENT
07:27:17 OF THE STRUCTURE IN AN EFFORT TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY
07:27:19 15-FOOT PROTECTIVE RADIUS TO SAVE THE NONHAZARDOUS OAK
07:27:24 TREE ON-SITE.
07:27:25 THE APPLICANT REQUESTED A CONTINUANCE TO MARCH 11, 2021,
07:27:29 TONIGHT, TO ALLOW TIME TO MODIFY THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN.

07:27:52 SUBMITTED TO STAFF TO SHOW THAT THE STRUCTURE WAS
07:27:56 MODIFIED TO SAVE THE 39-INCH OAK RIGHT HERE.
07:28:02 WITH THAT BEING SAID, STAFF IS AVAILABLE FOR ANY
07:28:04 QUESTIONS THAT COUNCIL MAY HAVE.
07:28:05 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:28:10 IT'S THE SAME THING BUT EXCEPT IT SAVED THAT TREE.
07:28:14 SO ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME?
07:28:16 IF NOT WE GO TO MR. COLLINS.
07:28:18 NO?
07:28:22 ANYTHING ELSE, MR. MANASSE OR WE GO RIGHT TO THE
07:28:25 APPLICANT?
07:28:26 >>RYAN MANASSE: NO, SIR, GO STRAIGHT TO THE APPLICANT.
07:28:28 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
07:28:31 >>STEVE MICHELINI: REPRESENTING PETITIONER AT 3228 WEST
07:28:36 OAKELLAR.
07:28:37 I THINK --
07:28:42 >>> JUST SAY YOUR NAME AGAIN.
07:28:44 YOU WERE BRIEFLY MUTED.
07:28:46 >> STEVE MICHELINI.
07:28:48 LET ME SHOW YOU A COUPLE OF PHOTOGRAPHS REGARDING THE
07:28:51 SITE.
07:28:51 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF WE CAN FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE
07:28:52 RECORD, I BELIEVE THAT COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER HAS LOGGED
07:28:54 ON.
07:28:55 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, ARE YOU THERE?
07:28:56 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER?
07:29:01 ARE YOU THERE, SIR? I SEE HIM.
07:29:05 WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
07:29:08 OKAY, YOU ARE HERE?
07:29:09 VERY GOOD.
07:29:10 AND VIERA WILL BE LOGGING ON SHORTLY.
07:29:12 GO AHEAD, MR. MICHELINI.
07:29:13 >>STEVE MICHELINI: THIS IS A VIEW DOWN THE STREET
07:29:17 LOOKING EASTWARD, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S EXTENSIVE
07:29:20 TREE CANOPY THAT GOES PAST THE PROPERTY AND OVER ACROSS
07:29:25 TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET.
07:29:29 THIS IS THE WEST VIEW.
07:29:32 AND THE SUBJECTS PROPERTY IS TO YOUR LEFT.
07:29:39 YOU DON'T SEE THE TREE ON THAT ONE.
07:29:41 THIS IS THE SUBJECT TREE IN THE FRONT, AND WE RELOCATED
07:29:46 THE HOUSE.
07:29:46 WE MOVED IT BACK SO THAT WE MEET THE PROTECTIVE RADIUS.
07:29:50 AND THIS TREE WILL BE SAVED.
07:29:54 THIS IS LOOKING SOUTHEAST TO THE ADJACENT NEIGHBOR,
07:30:00 SLIGHTLY TO THE EAST, AND I HAVE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION
07:30:03 WITH THIS NEIGHBOR, FAIRLY EXTENSIVELY ALMOST ON A DAILY
07:30:07 BASIS DISCUSSING ANY CONCERNS THAT HE MIGHT HAVE, AND AS
07:30:11 A MATTER OF FACT WE MOVED THE REAR YARD SETBACK FROM 12
07:30:16 FEET TO 15 FEET TO TRY TO ACCOMMODATE HIS CONCERN FOR
07:30:19 ADDITIONAL GREEN SPACE IN THE REAR.
07:30:24 THIS IS ONE OF THE TREES THAT'S DIRECTLY ACROSS THE
07:30:27 STREET, AND ITS CANOPY ACTUALLY COMES ACROSS TO THE SOUTH
07:30:31 SIDE OF THE STREET.
07:30:32 THIS IS ON THE NORTH.
07:30:33 AND THE CANOPY OF THAT TREE AND THIS TREE ALMOST TOUCH
07:30:40 EACH OTHER.
07:30:43 THIS IS A CLOSE-UP OF THAT SAME TREE.
07:30:47 AND AGAIN IT WILL BE SAVED.
07:30:54 THIS IS THE SITE PLAN.
07:30:55 AND IF YOU SEE, WE ARE PROVIDING THE 15 FOOT PROTECTIVE
07:30:59 RADIUS, AND THAT'S WITH THAT GRAND TREE IN THE FRONT, AND
07:31:03 THEN WE ARE PROVIDING 15 FEET IN THE BACK AND WE
07:31:06 INCREASED THAT FROM 12 FEET TO 15 FEET.
07:31:09 AGAIN, THAT WAS BASED UPON DISCUSSIONS THAT I HAD WITH
07:31:11 THE NEIGHBOR TO THE EAST.
07:31:14 THIS WAS A CONTINUED HEARING FROM NOVEMBER, AND SINCE
07:31:19 THAT TIME, THE ENGINEER, DESIGNERS, HAVE MADE THE
07:31:22 ADJUSTMENTS THAT WERE REQUESTED BY CITY STAFF.
07:31:25 WE MOVED THE HOUSE AS WAS INDICATED, AND WE NOW HAVE THE
07:31:30 SUPPORT OF BOTH THE PLANNING COMMISSION WHO FOUND IT
07:31:35 CONSISTENT AS WELL AS THE CITY STAFF.
07:31:36 IT'S A LEGAL LOT OF RECORD FOR THE DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES.
07:31:43 THE PROBLEM IS THAT THIS ENTIRE SUBDIVISION, THE LOTS ARE
07:31:45 ONLY 90 FEET DEEP SO YOU HAVE 50 FEET OF FRONTAGE AND 90
07:31:50 FEET OF DEPTH.
07:31:51 AND THAT'S ANOTHER REASON WHY WE ARE SEEKING SOME RELIEF
07:31:55 IN THIS REGARD, AND IT WENT FROM A PD.
07:31:57 AND I KNOW THAT YOU PREVIOUSLY HAD A QUESTION ABOUT WHY
07:32:00 SOME OF THESE PROJECTS ARE GOING TO PD.
07:32:03 YOU COULDN'T MEET THE RS-50 DESIGNATION BECAUSE YOU DON'T
07:32:07 HAVE 5,000 SQUARE FEET, ALTHOUGH YOU DO HAVE THE
07:32:11 RESIDENTIAL 10 CLASSIFICATION FOR LAND USE.
07:32:15 YOU CAN'T MEET SOME OF THE OTHER CRITERIA FOR
07:32:18 DEVELOPMENT.
07:32:22 WE HAVE GONE THROUGH A NUMBER OF REITERATIONS ON THIS,
07:32:26 AND I NEED TO GO OVER A FEW ISSUES REGARDING WHAT
07:32:31 CONCEPTS THAT ARE IN THE CODE THAT WE ARE MEETING.
07:32:36 AND I THINK YOU HAVE ALREADY SEEN -- I CAN SHOW YOU -- I
07:32:43 CAN SHOW YOU THE PLAT WHERE ALL OF THESE LOTS ARE 90 FEET
07:32:47 OR 92 FEET DEPENDING ON WHERE THEY ARE IN THE ARC OF THE
07:32:52 CURVE, BUT THEY ARE VERY SHALLOW.
07:32:57 THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO PROMOTE THE EFFICIENCY
07:33:00 SUSTAINABLE USE OF LAND USE AND INFRASTRUCTURE, AND WITH
07:33:04 CAREFUL CONSIDERATION, POTENTIAL ADVERSE IMPACTS TO THE
07:33:08 NATURAL HE WILL ELEMENTS, AND WE ARE DOING THAT BY
07:33:12 PROVIDING FOR THE SAFETY AND THE PRESERVATION OF THE
07:33:14 IMPACTED GRAND TREE.
07:33:16 WE ARE NOT GOING TO INTRODUCE A NEW DEVELOPMENT PATTERN.
07:33:19 IT ALREADY EXISTS.
07:33:20 THESE ARE RELATIVELY NARROW LOTS ALL UP AND DOWN THE
07:33:23 STREET.
07:33:23 AND I SHOW YOU THE PICTURES THAT DEMONSTRATE THAT THERE'S
07:33:27 REDEVELOPMENT GOING ON IN THIS AREA, AND THE LOTS ARE
07:33:31 ALL, AS I SAID, FAIRLY NARROW.
07:33:33 ENCOURAGE THE FLEXIBLE LAND DEVELOPMENT WHICH REDUCES
07:33:36 TRANSPORTATION NEEDS, COULD BE CONSERVES ENERGY,
07:33:39 MAXIMIZES THE PRESERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES, AND THE
07:33:43 EXISTING UTILITIES.
07:33:44 SO ALL OF THAT IS TRUE IN THIS CASE, AND WE'LL BE
07:33:49 ACCESSING ALL OF THE EXISTING UTILITIES ON OAKELLAR.
07:33:54 PROMOTE AND ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT MUCH APPROPRIATE IN
07:33:58 LOCATION AND CHARACTER COMPATIBLE TO THE SURROUNDING
07:34:02 NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:34:02 WE ARE PROVIDING THE SAME TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT THAT
07:34:04 ALREADY EXISTS HERE.
07:34:05 IT'S A VACANT LOT.
07:34:07 AND WE WILL BE IN FILLING THAT IN THE PROPOSAL TO BUILD A
07:34:11 NEW HOUSE.
07:34:12 THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES AND ELEMENTS THAT WOULD
07:34:15 COMPLEMENT THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD, WE HAVE PROVIDED
07:34:17 ELEVATIONS WHICH SHOW THAT IT IS SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO
07:34:22 THE OTHER DEVELOPMENTS THAT ALREADY EXIST THERE, EXCEPT
07:34:24 FOR THE OTHER HOMES, THE SMALLER OLDER HOMES THAT ARE NOW
07:34:28 BEING TORN DOWN AND NEW HOMES ARE BEING BUILT.
07:34:33 THE DESIGN OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS UNIQUE AND
07:34:35 THEREFORE WE ARE NOT SEEKING ANY WAIVERS, AND THE WAIVERS
07:34:41 IF ALLOWED WOULD NOT SUBSTANTIALLY INTERFERE WITH OTHERS
07:34:44 SO AGAIN WE ARE NOT SEEKING WAIVERS AND THE WAIVER IS IN
07:34:49 HARMONY, WE HAVE NO WAIVERS.
07:34:50 SO WE ARE ASKING FOR RELIEF ON THE SETBACKS, AND WE
07:34:55 NORMALLY WOULD BE 25 FEET AND 20 FEET.
07:34:59 WE ARE ACCOMMODATING THE GRAND TREE, THE 39-INCH GRAND
07:35:02 LIVE OAK, AND IT'S LOCATED IN THE FRONT YARD.
07:35:06 AND WE HAVE MOVED THE HOUSE BACK SO THAT WE CAN SAVE THAT
07:35:10 TREE.
07:35:12 I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE, BUT
07:35:14 WE HAVE DONE AS STAFF HAS REQUESTED, AND WE HAVE NO
07:35:18 OBJECTIONS, AND WE HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE CONSISTENT BY
07:35:20 BOTH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE CITY STAFF.
07:35:22 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS?
07:35:30 VERY GOOD.
07:35:30 DO WE HAVE ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON
07:35:33 ITEM NUMBER 4?
07:35:35 DO WE HAVE ANY REGISTERED?
07:35:36 >> THERE ARE NO REGISTERED SPEAKERS.
07:35:38 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IS ANYBODY IN PERSON ON THE SECOND
07:35:40 FLOOR, AILEEN?
07:35:42 >>AILEEN ROSARIO: DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH.
07:35:43 WE DO HAVE ONE PUBLIC SPEAKER.
07:35:46 HE HAS BEEN SWORN IN.
07:35:48 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IF YOU ARE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS
07:35:50 ITEM, HERE IN PERSON ON THE SECOND FLOOR, PLEASE APPROACH
07:35:53 THE LECTERN AND STATE YOUR NAME.
07:35:59 AFTER EACH SPEAKER WE ARE GOING TO DISINFECT THE LECTERN
07:36:02 JUST FOR EVERYONE'S SAFETY.
07:36:04 >>THE CLERK: AND CORRECTION, WE DO HAVE TWO REGISTERED
07:36:08 SPEAKERS.
07:36:09 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE DO HAVE TWO REGISTERED.
07:36:11 WE'LL GO TO THE IN-PERSON AND THEN GO TO THE REGISTERED.
07:36:14 YES, SIR, GO AHEAD.
07:36:15 STATE YOUR NAME.
07:36:15 >> MY NAME IS CHARLES GODDARD.
07:36:20 MY WIFE AND I SHOW PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH OF LOT 15.
07:36:24 WE SHARE BOUNDARY.
07:36:25 LET'S TRY TO GET A FEW THINGS STRAIGHT.
07:36:27 THIS WHOLE NOTION THAT LOT 15 IS SOMEHOW UNIQUE IS
07:36:31 MISLEADING AND DECEPTIVE.
07:36:32 IF YOU LOOK TO PAGE 4 OF THE STAFF REPORT, AND I QUOTE,
07:36:35 IT SAYS THE REAR SETBACK WAS ADJUSTED FOR THE REDUCED
07:36:38 LOCALITY LENGTH MUCH 90 FEET.
07:36:40 THIS ISN'T A REDUCED LOT LENGTH.
07:36:42 IT'S THE SAME WIDTH AND LENGTH AS EVERY OTHER LOT SOUTH
07:36:45 OF COACHMAN AND NORTH OF VILLA ROSA.
07:36:47 THE PLOTTED OF RECORD THAT YOU JUST SAW SHOWS THAT.
07:36:50 A SMALL LOT DOESN'T JUSTIFY A SETBACK.
07:36:52 IF ANYTHING, IT EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING
07:36:55 SETBACKS INTACT.
07:36:57 SETBACKS CREATE PRIVACY, AND PRIVACY IS WHAT DEFINES THE
07:37:01 CHARACTER OF BAYSHORE BEAUTIFUL.
07:37:03 NEIGHBORHOOD POLICY 1.1.2-B OBLIGATES THIS PANEL TO
07:37:08 REQUIRE DEVELOPERS TO RESPECT THE EXISTING
07:37:10 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:37:13 NO RESIDENTS ON OUR BLOCK HAS A 15-FOOT SETBACK.
07:37:17 I THINK THAT'S WORTH REPEATING.
07:37:19 NO RESIDENTS ON OUR BLOCK HAS A 15-FOOT SETBACK.
07:37:22 EVEN THE TWO NEW DEVELOPMENTS RIGHT NEXT DOOR WERE
07:37:26 PRESERVED AT 20 AND 23 FEET RESPECTIVELY.
07:37:29 LOOKING AGAIN TO PAGE HAD 4 OF THE STAFF REPORT, NATURAL
07:37:32 RESOURCES ONLY RECOMMENDED THAT THE FRONT OF THE
07:37:34 STRUCTURE BE MOVED BACK, NOT THE ENTIRE HOUSE.
07:37:38 THE WAY THIS REZONING REQUEST HAS BEEN FRAMED REDUCED THE
07:37:42 REAR SETBACK TO SAVE THE TREE BECAUSE IT'S A SMALL LOT.
07:37:46 THAT'S A FALSE DILEMMA, AND I THINK THE COUNCIL GETS THAT
07:37:49 BASED ON THEIR COMMENTS AT THE LAST MEETING.
07:37:51 COUNCILMAN MIRANDA RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM ISN'T THE TREE.
07:37:54 THE PROBLEM ISN'T THE LOT.
07:37:55 THE PROBLEM IS THE SIZE OF THE HOUSE.
07:37:57 COUNCILMAN CITRO CALLED IT TEN POUNDS OF MUD IN A FIVE
07:38:01 POUND SACK.
07:38:02 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD AND SAID
07:38:04 OKAY, YOU CAN DO A PD, BUT MAKE IT CONSISTENT WITH THE
07:38:06 SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.
07:38:08 THAT'S NOT WHAT PETITIONER DID.
07:38:10 HERE WE ARE FOUR MONTHS LATER AND THE NEW SITE PLAN IS
07:38:12 STILL INCONSISTENT WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, INCONSISTENT
07:38:15 WITH TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND SPOT ZONE McMANSION
07:38:21 TOWERING OVER MY KIDS' PAL LOOKING INTO THE LIVING ROOM.
07:38:25 YOU ALSO HEARD THE DISTINGUISHED ENGINEERING EXPERT
07:38:29 RICHARD DIAZ WHO SAID THE REAR SETBACK IS GOING TO CAUSE
07:38:33 SIGNIFICANT FLOODING IN MY YARD AND THE EAST LIP
07:38:35 NEIGHBOR'S YARD.
07:38:36 WHAT ABOUT THAT?
07:38:37 LOOK, I'M PROTECTIVE OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN MY
07:38:39 NEIGHBORHOOD, AS WE ALL SHOULD BE.
07:38:41 THIS ISN'T DC.
07:38:42 THIS ISN'T NEW YORK CITY.
07:38:43 THIS IS OLD FLORIDA.
07:38:44 THERE'S A REASON THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS CALLED BAYSHORE
07:38:47 BEAUTIFUL.
07:38:48 THERE'S A REASON OUR BLOCK IS CALLED OAKELLAR.
07:38:51 BUT YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT AWAY?
07:38:53 WHY?
07:38:54 PETITIONER, HE'S NOT GOING TO BE MY NEIGHBOR.
07:38:58 THIS REZONING REQUEST IS ABOUT ONE THING AND WE ALL KNOW
07:39:01 IT.
07:39:01 (MOTION CARRIED)
07:39:02 WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, THAT'S NOT THE STANDARD FOR A
07:39:05 REZONING.
07:39:07 LET'S ALL TRY TO DO THE RIGHT THING TONIGHT.
07:39:09 THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
07:39:10 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
07:39:12 I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE ONE PERSON INDIVIDUAL HERE IN
07:39:16 PERSON.
07:39:17 THERE ARE TWO REGISTERED SPEAKERS ONLINE.
07:39:20 MADAM CLERK, IF WE CAN BRING THEM ON.
07:39:23 I SEE A MR. DIAZ, AND DO WE HAVE ANOTHER SPEAKER AND ONCE
07:39:30 WE GET ANOTHER PERSON ON THE SCREEN WE'LL HAVE YOU RAISE
07:39:34 YOUR RIGHT HAND.
07:39:35 >> MR. METCALF IS LOGGED ON.
07:39:39 HOWEVER, HE'S ON HIS CELL PHONE AND NOT ABLE TO ENABLE
07:39:42 HIS VIDEO.
07:39:44 HE DOS DOES 2021 SPEAK BUT I NOTIFIED HIM HE HAS TO
07:39:47 ENABLE HIS VIDEO IN ORDER TO SPEAK.
07:39:49 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: VERY GOOD.
07:39:50 WE HAVE TO HAVE VIDEO.
07:39:51 WE HAVE TO SEE YOUR FACE IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEAK.
07:39:54 SO MR. DIAZ, I SEE YOU ON.
07:39:57 IF YOU WOULD RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND WE'LL SWEAR YOU IN.
07:39:59 (OATH ADMINISTERED BY CLERK).
07:40:01 >> I DO.
07:40:06 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, MR. DIAZ.
07:40:07 YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
07:40:08 PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
07:40:09 >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
07:40:13 MY NAME IS RICHARD DIAZ.
07:40:15 AND I OWN AND LIVE AT THE HOME ACROSS THE STREET, 3225
07:40:19 WEST OAKELLAR.
07:40:20 AND TONIGHT I AM SPEAKING IN OPPOSITION OF THIS PETITION.
07:40:24 MY OPPOSITION FOCUSES ON SEVERAL FOLLOWING POINTS.
07:40:28 THE SITE PLAN THAT WAS SUBMITTED BASICALLY DOESN'T DIFFER
07:40:33 MUCH FROM THE ORIGINAL SITE PLAN.
07:40:34 HOWEVER IT CONTAINS SEVERAL DISCREPANCIES AND
07:40:36 INCONSISTENCIES.
07:40:38 FOR EXAMPLE, THE SITE PLAN SHOWS A 15-FOOT REAR YARD
07:40:41 SETBACK, TESTS ON THE SITE PLAN CLAIM A -- REAR YARD
07:40:46 SETBACK.
07:40:47 THE SITE PLAN CALLS FOR THE REMOVAL OF SEVERAL TREES
07:40:52 SHOWN IN THE GRAY HATCHED AREA ON THE PLAN WITHIN THE
07:40:56 FOOTPRINT OF THE BUILDING.
07:40:57 HOWEVER, THE ACTUAL PLAN CALLS FOR THE REMOVAL OF ALL OF
07:41:00 THE TREES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 39-INCH GRAND OAK.
07:41:04 THAT GRAND OAK HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN SOME WAY AS A
07:41:08 COMPROMISE SOLUTION BETWEEN THE PETITIONER AND THE CITY.
07:41:12 HOWEVER, THAT GRAND OAK HAS NEVER BEEN SCHEDULED FOR
07:41:15 REMOVAL.
07:41:16 THE CITY HAS CLAIMED IT'S A HEALTHY TREE, AND THERE'S
07:41:20 NEVER BEEN ANY IDEA ON THE CITY'S BEHALF THAT THE TREE
07:41:23 COULD EVER BE REMOVED.
07:41:25 SO THE CONCEPT OF A COMPROMISE IS MISSING HERE.
07:41:28 THAT TREE HAS ALWAYS NEEDED TO REMAIN AS IS ON THE PLAN.
07:41:33 THE PD CALLED FOR REMOVAL OF ALL THE TREES AND HAS A
07:41:38 10-TREE MITIGATION REQUIREMENT IN THE TREE TABLE.
07:41:42 YET THERE'S NO ROOM LITERALLY ON THE PLAN TO PLANT
07:41:45 ANYTHING IN RESPONSE TO THE MITIGATION OF TREES.
07:41:52 WHATEVER THE REAR YARD SETBACK IS, IF IT'S GOING TO BE 15
07:41:55 FEET OR 12 FEET, HAS BEEN STATED BEFORE.
07:41:58 THAT'S TOTALLY INCONSISTENT AND INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE
07:42:02 NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:42:04 COUNCIL MEMBERS, JUST 300 PLATTED LOTS IN THE OAKELLAR
07:42:08 SUBDIVISION, MANY IF NOT ALL ARE OCCUPIED.
07:42:13 THERE'S MANY HOUSES THAT HAVE TWO LOTS, AND INDEED THERE
07:42:16 MAY BE A FEW VACANT LOTS BUT MOST OF THEM ARE OCCUPIED
07:42:20 AND ALL ONE HAS TO DO IS LOOK AT THE AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS
07:42:23 AND YOU WILL SEE THE REAR YARD HAVING ALIGN MEASURING
07:42:27 ABOUT 20 FEET TO ALL REAR YARDS.
07:42:32 THAT'S CONSISTENCY IN THE SUBDIVISION, AND THAT'S
07:42:34 INCONSISTENT WITH THIS PETITION.
07:42:37 THERE'S BENSON DISCUSSION ABOUT THE HARDSHIP AND HOW THE
07:42:41 PETITIONER HAS TO REDUCE THE SETBACK FROM 25 TO 23 FRONT
07:42:47 AND IT'S CLAIMING THE NEED TO REDUCE THE REAR YARD
07:42:50 SETBACK FOR SOME UNIQUENESS, CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS LOT.
07:42:55 COUNCIL MEMBERS, THERE IS NOTHING UNIQUE ABOUT THIS LOT,
07:42:59 50 FEET WIDE, 92 SOME FEET DEEP, JUST LIKE ALL THE
07:43:02 OTHERS.
07:43:03 THE REASON THAT THIS IS A PD AND THE REASON THAT
07:43:06 PETITIONER NEEDS SOME RELIEF IS THAT HE WANTS TO BUILD A
07:43:09 MASSIVE HOUSE.
07:43:11 AND IF THE HOUSE WERE SMALLER, THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY NEED
07:43:14 FOR THESE REDUCED SETBACKS.
07:43:15 [BELL SOUNDS]
07:43:17 THE FACT THAT THE PETITIONER IS REQUESTING THIS IS
07:43:22 SOMEHOW CONNECTED, HIS REQUEST SUDDENLY FOR RELIEF BY THE
07:43:26 CITY SO HE CAN HAVE A PROFITABLE VENTURE.
07:43:29 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
07:43:30 >> COUNCIL MEMBERS, THE CITY IS NOT IN AN ENTERPRISE TO
07:43:34 GRANT RELIEF OR BAIL OUT A PETITIONER.
07:43:38 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
07:43:41 THANK YOU.
07:43:41 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, MARTIN SHELBY.
07:43:43 I WANT TO STATE FOR THE RECORD THAT COUNCILMEMBER VIERA
07:43:47 JOINED THE MEETING A WHILE AGO AND HAS BEEN PARTICIPATING
07:43:51 IN THIS --
07:43:52 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
07:43:53 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU.
07:43:56 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMEMBER DINGFELDER.
07:43:57 IT LOOKED LIKE YOU HAD A QUESTION.
07:43:59 ANYTHING, SIR?
07:44:00 NO?
07:44:00 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WELL, I DID HAVE A QUESTION FOR
07:44:07 STAFF, BUT I WASN'T SURE MR. DIAZ WAS FINISHED.
07:44:12 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THAT WAS IT.
07:44:15 HIS TIME WAS UP.
07:44:18 >> THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.
07:44:19 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR.
07:44:20 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
07:44:21 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WELL, MR. DIAZ, BEFORE YOU TUNE OUT,
07:44:26 SO WHERE IS THE YOUR PROPERTY IN RELATION TO THIS ONE?
07:44:30 >> ACROSS THE STREET CATTY-CORNER.
07:44:35 MY HOME WAS IN ONE OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT WAS BRIEFLY
07:44:38 SHOWN WHERE THE OAK TREE OVERHANGING THE ROADWAY.
07:44:41 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: PROFESSIONALLY, YOU ARE WHAT?
07:44:46 >> I'M A CIVIL ENGINEER, AND I HAVE DEALT WITH HUNDREDS
07:44:50 OF SITE PLANS VERY SIMILAR TO THIS IN THE DESIGN OF
07:44:53 SUBDIVISIONS THROUGHOUT TAMPA AND HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY.
07:44:55 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND YOU TESTIFIED EARLIER IN REGARD
07:45:01 TO THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION.
07:45:05 DID YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO EVALUATE THE REAR YARD SETBACK
07:45:10 UP AND DOWN YOUR STREET IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD?
07:45:13 >> WELL, I HAVE DONE THAT CASUALLY.
07:45:16 MR. DINGFELDER, I CAN TELL YOU, I KNOW OF NO OTHER
07:45:19 HOMES -- 12 OR 15-FOOT REAR YARD.
07:45:25 THERE'S QUITE --
07:45:26 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MORE TYPICAL?
07:45:28 >> THERE'S MORE CONSISTENCY WITH 20-FOOT REAR YARD.
07:45:31 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED IN THE
07:45:33 NEIGHBORHOOD?
07:45:34 >> I HAVE LIVED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR TWO YEARS.
07:45:37 HOWEVER, I GREW UP IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:45:40 AND I REMEMBER PLAYING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD PROBABLY 65
07:45:45 YEARS AGO.
07:45:45 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ALL RIGHT.
07:45:51 THANK YOU.
07:45:52 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANKS VERY MUCH.
07:45:55 ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
07:45:56 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I JUST WANTED SOME CLARITY FROM
07:46:02 STAFF.
07:46:03 RYAN, MR. MICHELINI INDICATED THAT YOUR STAFF REPORT HAD
07:46:07 CHANGED?
07:46:08 IS THAT CORRECT?
07:46:11 WHAT'S THE DEAL ON THAT?
07:46:12 >>RYAN MANASSE: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
07:46:13 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, NO -- EXCUSE ME?
07:46:19 OKAY.
07:46:21 NO, THIS HAS NOT CHANGED.
07:46:23 THE CHANGE WAS TO THE REVISED PLAN THAT WAS DISCUSSED AT
07:46:25 FIRST READING, AND THAT WAS PREVIOUS FROM THE 11-12 MUST
07:46:29 BE HEARING.
07:46:30 AND THEN WHAT MR. MICHELINI SHOWED WAS THE REVISED PLAN
07:46:33 TO SAVE THAT 39-INCH TREE.
07:46:36 OTHER THAN THAT, THE STAFF REPORT REMAINED THE SAME AT
07:46:40 FIRST READING THAT WAS PRESENTED.
07:46:41 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY.
07:46:44 AND EITHER RYAN OR MR. MICHELINI, WHAT IS THE TOTAL
07:46:50 SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THIS HOUSE THAT'S BEING PROPOSED IN THE
07:46:52 PD?
07:46:53 >>STEVE MICHELINI: I'M HAVING A LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN TO
07:47:10 SEE.
07:47:10 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND PERHAPS OF GREATER RELEVANCE,
07:47:22 WHAT IS THE FOOTPRINT, THE FIRST FLOOR FOOTPRINT?
07:47:25 >>STEVE MICHELINI: I CAN SHOW YOU THE SITE PLAN IF YOU
07:47:29 WANT ME TO PUT THAT ON.
07:47:30 BUT I CAN'T --
07:47:34 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: CAN ANYBODY READ THE DIMENSION ON IT?
07:47:37 >> IT'S NOT A LARGE HOME.
07:47:38 I MEAN, IT'S NOT A MONSTROSITY.
07:47:50 IT'S KIND OF SMALL.
07:47:51 I CAN'T READ IT BUT I CAN PUT IT ON HERE.
07:47:53 >> COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, I CAN SAY FOR THE RECORD
07:47:59 THERE'S A SETBACK, 17 ON THE SIDE, 15 ON THE REAR, 20 IN
07:48:03 THE FRONT.
07:48:07 AND THEN MR. MICHELINI MAY KNOW A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THE
07:48:10 ELEVATIONS.
07:48:11 BUT THE TOTAL SIDE AREA IS 4,537 SQUARE FEET.
07:48:17 BUT THE HEIGHT OF 35 FEET, THE ACTUAL SQUARE FEET OF THE
07:48:24 HOUSE.
07:48:25 AND I DEFER TO THE APPLICANT FOR EXACTLY HOW MANY SQUARE
07:48:28 FEET HE'S REFERRING TO AS THE PD OUTLINED.
07:48:32 >>STEVE MICHELINI: PART OF THAT, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER,
07:48:35 WAS REDUCED BECAUSE WE REDUCED THE REAR YARD SETBACK FROM
07:48:40 12 TO 15 FEET.
07:48:42 AND CERTAINLY IT'S A PLEASURE OF COUNCIL TO APPROVE THIS,
07:48:46 WE WILL CORRECT THAT DISCREPANCY.
07:48:47 I DIDN'T SEE WHAT SAID 12 FEET ON THE DATA TABLE.
07:48:52 BUT OUR INTENTION WAS TO MAKE IT 15 FEET.
07:48:54 WE HAVE TALKED TO THE PROPERTY OWNER IMMEDIATELY TO THE
07:48:57 EAST, AND THAT WAS MR. METCALF, AND I SPENT A GREAT DEAL
07:49:05 OF TIME TALKING WITH HIM, AND ASKED HIM TO PASS ON THE
07:49:08 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO THE OTHER NEIGHBORS.
07:49:12 OUR INTENTION WAS TO PLACE NEW PRIVACY FENCES ON THE
07:49:17 EAST-WEST AND SOUTH.
07:49:20 AND AS WELL TO LANDSCAPE, THE END OF THE REAR YARD SO
07:49:27 THAT IT WOULD NOT BE INTRUSIVE TO EITHER OF THOSE THREE
07:49:30 NEIGHBORS.
07:49:33 SO, I MEAN, WE CAN GO BACK INTO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
07:49:37 STAFF, AND REPORT, I MEAN, EVERYTHING INCLUDING THEIR
07:49:42 REPORT AND THE CITY REPORT SAYS IT'S CONSISTENT.
07:49:44 AND THEY SAY THAT THEY FOUND NO ADVERSE IMPACTS TO THE
07:49:46 SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:49:48 I'M READING FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT.
07:49:49 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MY LAST QUESTION, MR. CHAIRMAN, IS
07:49:59 WHAT IS THE COMPELLING REASON TO HAVING THE REAR YARD A
07:50:04 FEW YARDS SETBACK CONTRARY TO THE CITY CODE?
07:50:11 YOU SAID THERE'S NO WAIVERS BEING REQUESTED.
07:50:14 THAT'S A 5-FOOT WAIVER FROM THE STANDARD CITY CODE.
07:50:18 AND I AM NOT REALLY HEARING WHAT THE COMPELLING REASON
07:50:21 WAS.
07:50:22 BUT YOU HAD A TREE ISSUE.
07:50:26 I'M SURE EVERYBODY APPRECIATES YOU ALL SAVING THE TREE.
07:50:29 BUT WHAT IS THE COMPELLING NEED, THE COMPELLING REASON TO
07:50:33 GO TO THE REAR?
07:50:36 YOU COULD HAVE A SMALLER HOUSE, IF YOU HAVE A SMALLER
07:50:39 FOOTPRINT FOR THAT HOUSE.
07:50:42 NOBODY IS ABLE TO TELL ME HOW MANY SQUARE FEET THIS HOUSE
07:50:44 IS.
07:50:45 BUT WHATEVER IT IS, IT COULD BE SMALLER, AND THEN APPLY
07:50:49 BY THE REAR YARD SETBACK.
07:50:51 I HAVE A FEELING NOBODY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD REALLY
07:50:52 BE HERE.
07:50:53 >>STEVE MICHELINI: WELL, WE REDUCED THE R AND PUSHED THE
07:50:58 HOUSE BACK IN THE FRONT TO ACCOMMODATE THE 39-INCH OAK.
07:51:01 AND WE ALSO INCREASED THE SETBACK TO THE REAR FROM 12
07:51:05 FEET TO 15 FEET.
07:51:06 SO THEN WE SQUEEZED THE HOUSE IN TWO DIRECTIONS.
07:51:10 SO THE REDUCTION AND THE REQUEST FOR THE REAR YARD
07:51:17 SETBACK, THAT'S NOT A WAIVER TO A TECHNICAL STANDARD.
07:51:20 THAT'S A REQUEST FOR A REDUCTION IN THE SETBACK BASED
07:51:23 UPON THE PROXIMITY OF THE TREES THAT WERE BEING SAVED --
07:51:28 OR THE GRAND OAK IN THE FRONT.
07:51:34 WE HAVE SQUEEZED THE HOUSE IN TWO DIRECTIONS.
07:51:37 I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS MAY
07:51:39 HAVE A CONCERN WITH THAT, BUT I DON'T THINK ANYONE CAN
07:51:42 TESTIFY TO THE ACCURACY THAT ALL OF THE OTHER PROPERTIES
07:51:47 HAVE A 20-FOOT SETBACK IN THE REAR.
07:51:50 THEY CAN'T SAY THAT UNLESS THEY HAVE HAD A SURVEY DONE,
07:51:53 AND I KNOW EYEBALLING THINGS SOMETIMES IS MISLEADING.
07:51:58 BUT THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL, IF YOU LOOK IN THE FRONT,
07:52:06 THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL 10 FEET BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THE
07:52:09 PROPERTY LINE AND THE EDGE OF THE PAVEMENT, AND THERE'S 5
07:52:14 FEET IN FRONT BEFORE YOU GET TO THE EDGE OF THE PAVEMENT.
07:52:18 SO THERE'S MORE SPACE IN THE FRONT.
07:52:22 AND AS FAR AS FLOODING IS CONCERNED,
07:52:25 IT'S A TECHNICAL STANDARD THAT'S NOT WAIVABLE, SO YOU
07:52:29 HAVE TO MEET THE CODE, YOU HAVE TO RETAIN THE WATER ON
07:52:31 YOUR SITE, YOU CAN'T DUMP WATER ON SOMEONE'S ADJACENT
07:52:34 OWNER'S PROPERTY.
07:52:38 I MEAN CONSIDERING THE NARROWNESS OF THE -- I'M SORRY,
07:52:41 THE DEPTH THAT IS ONLY 90 FEET, THAT'S AN EXTREMELY
07:52:45 DIFFICULT THRESHOLD TO MEET.
07:52:50 ANYWAY, LIKE I SAID, IN DISCUSSION WAS MR. METCALF, WHO
07:52:54 WAS THE PROPERTY OWNER TO THE EAST, WE TOLD HIM THAT, YOU
07:53:00 KNOW, WE WOULD REDUCE THAT AGAIN TO 15 FEET.
07:53:04 I'M NOT SAYING HE WAS 100% HAPPY WITH IT BUT HE WAS
07:53:07 HAPPIER THAN HE WAS WITH THE 12 FEET.
07:53:09 AND THEN WHEN WE PROPOSED REPLACING THE FENCES AND
07:53:13 PUTTING IN NEW PRIVACY FENCE WAS LANDSCAPING AROUND, TO
07:53:17 PROVIDE THAT PRIVACY IN THE REAR, HE WAS HAPPIER WITH
07:53:24 THAT AS WELL.
07:53:26 WE ALSO, AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO PUT THE SIDEWALK IN,
07:53:29 ALTHOUGH THERE'S NO SIDEWALKS IN THAT AREA.
07:53:32 BUT WE STILL HAVE TO BUILD A SIDEWALK IN THE FRONT.
07:53:34 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
07:53:39 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:53:40 ANYBODY ELSE?
07:53:42 >>MARTIN SHELBY: JUST A REMAINDER THAT IF YOU HAVE
07:53:45 QUESTIONS, THAT YOU NEED TO ASK -- [INDISCERNIBLE]
07:53:54 >>> ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
07:53:58 (AUDIO FEEDBACK)
07:54:01 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. MICHELINI, MR. DINGFELDER MADE A
07:54:07 COMMENT IN REFERENCE TO THE SIZE OF THE HOUSE.
07:54:16 WITH THE SETBACK.
07:54:17 SO IF THE HOUSE WERE DOWNSIZED, IF THE HOUSE WAS
07:54:23 DOWNSIZED, IT WOULD MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS AND YOU
07:54:28 WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING.
07:54:29 WOULD YOU AGREE?
07:54:30 >>STEVE MICHELINI: IF THE HOUSE WERE DOWNSIZED, YOU IN
07:54:36 ANY REAR YARD SETBACK?
07:54:38 >> IF THE HOUSE WAS SMALLER TO WHERE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO
07:54:41 WORRY ABOUT THAT BACKYARD.
07:54:42 THAT SEEMS WHAT THE CONCERN IS AT THIS PARTICULAR POINT,
07:54:46 THE CONSISTENCY OF THE PATTERN OF THE PROPERTIES OF THE
07:54:51 PLATS.
07:54:51 IT WOULD BE OUT OF BALANCE.
07:54:52 >>STEVE MICHELINI: WELL, WHEN I ADDRESSED THAT A MINUTE
07:54:56 AGO, THERE'S A PERCEPTION APPARENTLY THAT THERE ARE OTHER
07:54:59 HOUSES ALL MEET THE 20-FOOT SETBACK.
07:55:02 I DON'T HAVE ANY WAY OF KNOWING THAT.
07:55:04 AND AS I SAID, WITHOUT A SURVEY, NOBODY ELSE KNOWS THAT
07:55:07 THAT'S ACCURATE EITHER.
07:55:08 I'M NOT SAYING IT IS NOT.
07:55:09 I'M JUST SAYING THAT WHEN WE DEALT WITH THIS SITE AND
07:55:13 PUSHED THE HOUSE BACK, WE REDUCED THE SIZE OF THE HOUSE
07:55:17 IN THE FRONT AND THE REAR, SO THE SQUARE FOOTAGE HAS
07:55:21 CHANGED FROM WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY BEING PROPOSED.
07:55:25 THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL 5 FEET IN THE FRONT THAT WAS
07:55:28 TAKEN OFF, AND THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL 3 FEET IN THE
07:55:31 REAR.
07:55:31 SO BUT WE HAVE REDUCED THE SIZE OF THE HOUSE.
07:55:36 AND THE LOT IS ONLY 4500 SQUARE FEET.
07:55:40 SO I THINK THAT WE HAVE DONE THE BEST THAT WE CAN DO WITH
07:55:45 THIS.
07:55:47 PART OF THE ISSUE THAT YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH -- AND I
07:55:49 KNOW THAT THEY MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT, WELL, YOU HAVE
07:55:51 TO HAVE A HARDSHIP REGARDING THE WAIVERS.
07:55:55 THERE AREN'T ANY WAIVERS, SO WE DIDN'T HAVE TO MEET THOSE
07:55:58 CRITERIA. WE HAD TO MEET THE STANDARD CRITERIA FOR
07:56:01 DEVELOPMENT, AND WHICH AS I SAID BOTH PLANNING COMMISSION
07:56:05 AND THAN THE CITY STAFF FOUND TO BE ACCEPTABLE.
07:56:07 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
07:56:13 >>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
07:56:14 >> I HAVE A COMMENT IF I MAY.
07:56:21 THERE'S PLENTY OF ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE --
07:56:25 >>> NO, SIR, YOUR TIME STOP TO SPEAK --
07:56:28 >> MY APOLOGIES.
07:56:29 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR.
07:56:32 DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE?
07:56:35 DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE?
07:56:36 MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCILMAN CITRO.
07:56:38 DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
07:56:40 ALL IN FAVOR?
07:56:42 AYE.
07:56:42 WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL FOR ITEM NUMBER 4, WHICH
07:56:46 HAS A SUBSTITUTE ORDINANCE BEING PRESENTED?
07:56:57 COUNCILMAN GUDES, WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE THIS ONE?
07:57:00 COUNCILMAN CARLSON, WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE THIS ONE?
07:57:03 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE THIS ONE?
07:57:09 ITEM NUMBER 4?
07:57:12 OKAY.
07:57:14 IT'S REZ 20-56.
07:57:16 >>MARTIN SHELBY: NUMBER 4, COUNCILMAN.
07:57:20 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
07:57:23 OKAY.
07:57:23 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: AND A SUBSTITUTE ORDINANCE BEING
07:57:28 PRESENTED.
07:57:28 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I AM GOING TO MOVE TO DENY REZ 20-56,
07:57:39 THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3228 OAKELLAR, THE APPLICANT
07:57:47 NAILED TO MEET HIS BURDEN OF PROOF TO PROVIDE COMPETENT,
07:57:49 SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE TO THE DEVELOPMENT AS A CONDITION
07:57:52 SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE
07:57:56 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE CITY CODE.
07:58:05 TELEPHONE SPECIFICALLY, I THINK THE PETITIONER FAILED TO
07:58:08 COMPLY WITH THE GOALS AND POLICIES IN THE PLAN IN REGARDS
07:58:12 TO THE COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA AND THE
07:58:15 SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD, 27-136, SPECIFICALLY THAT THEY
07:58:23 FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THAT SECTION IN REGARD TO THE FACT
07:58:28 THAT THE DEVELOPMENT AS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN DOES NOT
07:58:33 ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S PROMOTE IN THIS LOCATION,
07:58:35 CHARACTER, COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING
07:58:37 NEIGHBORHOOD AS IS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN.
07:58:40 THIS PETITIONER HAS BEEN GIVEN AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO AT
07:58:47 LEAST TWO OR THREE HEARINGS TO MODIFY HIS SITE PLAN, TO
07:58:50 BE MORE CONSISTENT AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING
07:58:54 NEIGHBORHOOD, MORE SPECIFICALLY IN THE REAR YARD.
07:58:58 THEY ARE ASKING FOR RELIEF IN THE REAR YARD.
07:59:03 OUR CODE AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD SPECIFICALLY AS THE
07:59:08 TESTIMONY, UNCONTROVERTED TESTIMONY HAS STATED, IS
07:59:11 TYPICALLY 20 FEET REAR YARD SETBACK AND THEY ARE ASKING
07:59:14 FOR 15.
07:59:15 I BELIEVE AS STATED TO THE PETITIONER THAT THIS COULD
07:59:20 HAVE BEEN CURED WITH A SMALLER FOOTPRINT, AND THEREFORE
07:59:25 TO SHRINK THAT REAR YARD BACK TO 20 FEET.
07:59:28 AND IN LIGHT OF THE ENACT THIS HASN'T BEEN DONE, I'LL
07:59:32 MOVE TO DENY.
07:59:33 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN
07:59:35 DINGFELDER, SECOND FROM COUNCILMEMBER CARLSON.
07:59:38 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
07:59:42 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
07:59:43 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
07:59:44 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
07:59:45 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
07:59:49 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
07:59:50 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
07:59:51 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
07:59:53 >>STEVE MICHELINI: I HAVE A QUESTION, COUNCIL, THAT IS
07:59:56 CORRECT IF WE CAN REVISE THE SITE PLAN FOR A 20-FOOT REAR
07:59:59 SETBACK, WOULD WE BE ABLE TO DO THAT AND COME BACK TO
08:00:02 YOU?
08:00:03 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. MICHELINI, MARTIN SHELBY, CITY
08:00:05 COUNCIL ATTORNEY.
08:00:06 NO, THE COUNCIL HAS TAKEN ACTION, SIR.
08:00:08 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
08:00:12 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
08:00:12 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I HAVE A QUESTION FOR MR. SHELBY.
08:00:23 >> YES, SIR, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
08:00:24 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WONDERFUL
08:00:28 IF MR. MICHELINI IN THAT REGARD -- BEFORE I MADE THE
08:00:33 MOTION BUT BEFORE WE TOOK THE VOTE.
08:00:34 BUT MY QUESTION PROCEDURALLY TO MS. WELLS AND MR. SHELBY,
08:00:38 PROBABLY MR. SHELBY BECAUSE IT'S MORE PROCEDURALLY, IS IF
08:00:43 WE WANT TO DO SOME SORT OF RECONSIDERATION, SINCE WE ARE
08:00:49 ALL ON THE PREVAILING SIDE OF THIS VOTE, YOU KNOW, I
08:00:53 GUESS THAT IS A POSSIBILITY FOR THIS COUNCIL.
08:00:56 IS IT NOT?
08:00:57 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IT IS NOT CORRECT.
08:00:59 RULE 6-I OF YOUR RULES OF PROCEDURE STATE SPECIFICALLY
08:01:05 QUASI-JUDICIAL MATTERS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO RECONSIDERATION
08:01:07 EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BY CITY CODE.
08:01:09 AND I BELIEVE THE CITY CODE IS SILENT AS TO THAT.
08:01:11 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ALL RIGHT.
08:01:14 I STAND CORRECTED.
08:01:15 I APPRECIATE IT.
08:01:17 MR. MICHELINI, I'M SORRY, BUT TOO LITTLE TOO LATE.
08:01:21 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
08:01:22 NEXT UP IS ITEM NUMBER 5, REZ 20-49.
08:01:27 MR. BRICKLEMYER, HE IS ON -- IS THERE ANYBODY REGISTERED
08:01:31 FOR 5 AND 6, MADAM CLERK?

08:01:43 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: VERY GOOD.

08:08:50 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
08:08:54 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
08:08:57 MR. MANASSE, I'M PRETTY COMFORTABLE WITH THIS AREA.
08:09:05 I THIS I THIS IS A SIDE STREET, A PATHWAY BETWEEN ARMENIA
08:09:09 AND HOWARD, CORRECT?
08:09:10 >> THAT IS CORRECT, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
08:09:13 HERE ON SCREEN STILL, WE HAVE ARMENIA OVERHEAR TO YOUR

08:09:18 THEN YOU HAVE HOWARD TO THE EAST.
08:09:19 AND THEN ST. JOHN, THE STREET THE SUBJECT SITE IS ON.
08:09:24 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: RIGHT.
08:09:25 SOUTH OF ABOUT FOUR BLOCKS SOUTH OF COLUMBUS.
08:09:27 >> YES, SIR.
08:09:29 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THE THING THAT'S STRANGE TO ME IS
08:09:33 THAT YOU SAID THE ENTIRE STREET FACE, THIS ENTIRE BLOCK
08:09:40 FACE IS SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED SINGLE-FAMILY?
08:09:45 >>RYAN MANASSE: YES, SIR.
08:09:47 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND NOW THE REQUEST IS TO INTRODUCE
08:09:52 MULTIFAMILY, RM-24.
08:09:54 I WOULD ASSUME THIS AN AERIAL -- I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE
08:10:00 OPPORTUNITY IS FOR RM-24.
08:10:05 IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A SITE PLAN CONTROLLED.
08:10:10 >>RYAN MANASSE: I CAN ANSWER, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
08:10:12 THE RM-24 OUTLINED IN THE STAFF REPORT PAGE 2 AND 3 THAT
08:10:16 DOES ALLOW MAXIMUM DENSITY TO FIND OUT HOW MANY DWELLING
08:10:20 UNITS YOU HAVE, IT'S 1850 SQUARE FEET.
08:10:23 ON THE SUBJECT LOT YOU CAN GET TWO DWELLING UNITS OUT OF
08:10:25 THIS.
08:10:25 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND STAFF DOESN'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH
08:10:31 THE INTRODUCTION OF A MULTIFAMILY ATTACHED PRODUCT ON
08:10:38 WHAT IS OTHERWISE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED?
08:10:43 >>RYAN MANASSE: NO, SIR.
08:10:45 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ALL RIGHT.
08:10:46 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
08:10:46 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
08:10:49 ALL RIGHT.
08:10:50 ANYTHING ELSE, MR. MANASSE?
08:10:55 >>RYAN MANASSE: THAT CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION.
08:10:58 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
08:10:58 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MR. BRICKLEMYER, PLEASE STATE YOUR
08:11:00 NAME AND YOU MAY PRESENT.
08:11:02 AND PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF.
08:11:03 >> I UNMUTED MYSELF.
08:11:07 J.B. BRICKLEMYER, 601 WEST ASHLEY, SUITE 700 IN TAMPA.
08:11:13 I'M REPRESENTING THE PROPERTY OWNER, AND THE APPLICANT.
08:11:19 I WILL GET TO MR. DINGFELDER'S QUESTIONS IF YOU WILL BEAR
08:11:22 WITH ME ONE SECOND.
08:11:23 MIGHT HAVE A FEW COMMENTS AND THEN I'LL TAKE QUESTIONS IF
08:11:26 THERE ARE ANY.
08:11:27 AS MR. MANASSE STIPULATED IN THE REPORT THE PROPERTY IS
08:11:29 RS-50 AND WE ARE REQUESTING REZONING TO RM-24 WHICH
08:11:33 ALLOWS ON THE FUTURE LAND USE 35.
08:11:36 MY CLIENTS OWNED THE PROPERTY SINCE 2008.
08:11:40 IT IS CURRENTLY BEING USED FOR THAT USE SINCE 2008 AND A
08:11:48 PRIOR OWNER FOR MULTIFAMILY USE.
08:11:51 SO THAT WAS THE PROBLEM THAT WE ARE TRYING TO ADDRESS, TO
08:11:54 GET THE USE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THAN THE ZONING.
08:11:58 AND I WILL GET TO THIS IN A SECOND HERE.
08:12:00 THERE ARE NO MODIFICATIONS.
08:12:01 THE STRUCTURE IS TWO DETACHED STRUCTURES, BOTH OF WHICH
08:12:04 WERE USED FOR ONE FAMILY PER STRUCTURE FOR THE
08:12:07 MULTIFAMILY USE, 1850 SQUARE FEET.
08:12:10 SO THE ABILITY TO COME IN I THINK, MR. DINGFELDER'S
08:12:14 CONCERN, IS COME IN AND PUT AN APARTMENT DEVELOPMENT IN
08:12:17 ON THIS LOT.
08:12:17 THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE YOU HAVE 1815 SQUARE
08:12:20 FEET.
08:12:21 IT'S THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE DENSITY WE ARE GOING TO BE
08:12:23 ABLE TO GET. MY CLIENT HAS NO INTENT TO DO ANYTHING WITH
08:12:26 THE PROPERTY AS FAR AS THE STRUCTURES GO OR CHANGE OF USE
08:12:29 FROM WHAT IT WAS.
08:12:30 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, YOU ARE MUTED,
08:12:35 SIR.
08:12:40 STILL MUTED, MR. MIRANDA.
08:12:45 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I WAS JUST ASKING THE CHAIRMAN TO
08:12:48 SPEAK AFTER YOU FINISH.
08:12:50 >> THANK YOU.
08:12:53 AS I WAS SAYING, THOSE WILL BE LIMITED EVEN IF HE HAD AN
08:12:59 INTENT TO KNOW DON THAT, AND BASICALLY WHAT HE'S GOT, AND
08:13:04 HE'S NOT INTENDING TO DO THAT.
08:13:09 AS WE SAID, IT'S BEEN THAT WAY FOR AT LEAST 12 YEARS AND
08:13:13 FOR 8 YEARS BEFORE THAT BASED ON THE SALES THAT OCCURRED.
08:13:16 I RECEIVED THREE PHONE CALLS FROM THE NEIGHBORS AFTER
08:13:18 POSTING TWO OF WHOM HAVE THEIR OWN PROPERTY ON THAT
08:13:21 STREET SO IT'S ALREADY A PROPERTY NEIGHBORHOOD.
08:13:25 ONCE I SAID NO CHANGES TO THE STRUCTURES, NOBODY HAD AN
08:13:29 ISSUE.
08:13:30 IN FACT NOBODY SHOWED UP TONIGHT.
08:13:34 SO MY CLIENT REZONED THE PROPERTY TO BRING IT INTO
08:13:38 COMPLIANCE, REFERRING TO PAGE 6 OF THE STAFF REPORT.
08:13:41 THERE IS A MIX OF ZONING IN THE AREA.
08:13:43 VERY SMALL SECTION OF SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSING ON THIS
08:13:45 PARTICULAR STREET, AND SURROUNDED BY RM-16, NORTH, SOUTH,
08:13:51 EAST AND QUEST, COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE STRIP ALONG THE
08:13:54 NORTH ARMENIA BLOCK, ONE BLOCK TO THE SOUTH, AND
08:13:58 COMMERCIAL ONE BLOCK TO THE SOUTH.
08:14:01 THERE ARE A VAST NUMBER PDs AROUND THAT, PAGE 6.
08:14:06 I DIDN'T GO BACK AND RESEARCH THEM ALL, BUT THAT
08:14:08 INDICATES AN INCREASED INTENSITY OR CHANGE OF USE THAT
08:14:11 WOULD NOT HAVE OTHERWISE BEEN ALLOWED IN EUCLIDEAN
08:14:14 ZONING.
08:14:14 SO THE PROPERTY WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR IS BASICALLY
08:14:18 CONTINUE THE USE THAT'S BEEN THE USE FOR A LONG TIME, NO
08:14:22 INTENT TO REDEVELOP PROPERTY, AND EVEN IF THERE WAS
08:14:24 INTENT TO REZONE PROPERTY IT'S NOT GOING TO BE MUCH
08:14:27 DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE BEEN ON THE SITE
08:14:29 BECAUSE OF RESTRICTIONS IN SQUARE FOOTAGE.
08:14:31 AGAIN, MY CLIENT HAS NO INTENT TO CHANGE ANYTHING.
08:14:34 JUST TRYING TO GET IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ZONING AND IN
08:14:36 COMPLIANCE WITH USE, THAT HE BECAME AWARE OF A YEAR AND A
08:14:40 HALF AGO WHEN BEE STARTED THIS PROCESS TO GET THIS
08:14:42 RESOLVED.
08:14:44 AND WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDE MY STATEMENTS.
08:14:47 IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CHAIR, COUNCIL MAY HAVE.
08:14:49 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, SIR.
08:14:52 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
08:14:55 FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK YOU, AND I WANT TO THANK
08:15:00 YOUR CLIENT.
08:15:01 IF I UNDERSTOOD WHAT YOU SAID, THERE'S A BUILDING THERE
08:15:04 NOW THAT SOMEONE ADDED OTHER THAN IT.
08:15:07 AM I CORRECT?
08:15:08 OR IS IT THE SAME BUILDING, SAME LOT?
08:15:12 >> NO, SIR, I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE STRUCTURES WERE BUILT
08:15:15 BASED ON WHAT WE CAN GATHER FROM THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S
08:15:17 SITE.
08:15:18 THERE ARE TWO STRUCTURES ON THE SITE AND THEY HAVE BEEN
08:15:19 USED FOR MULTIFAMILY FOR QUITE A PERIOD OF TIME.
08:15:23 HE WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS DISCREPANCY AND WHEN HE CAME TO
08:15:27 ME, I SAID REZONE IT SO YOU ARE ALLOWED TO DO THAT IN
08:15:31 THAT AREA, AND TO REZONE TO THE GET IN COMPLIANCE WITH
08:15:34 THE ZONING.
08:15:34 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: LET ME SAY, IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE
08:15:40 NEED TO DO ALL OVER WEST TAMPA.
08:15:43 I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY THAT NOT ONE BLOCK -- I AM GOING
08:15:46 TO SAY THAT AGAIN, NOT ONE BLOCK WHO DOESN'T HAVE ILLEGAL
08:15:50 DWELLINGS, THAT'S BEEN ADDED ONTO, AND CONVERTED FROM
08:15:54 SINGLE-FAMILY TO MULTIFAMILY, WITHOUT PAYING ANY TAX FOR
08:16:00 15, 20 YEARS, AND IT'S ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE.
08:16:05 AND YOU HAVE RENTAL CERTIFICATES THAT SOME OF US PAY, AND
08:16:09 MOST OF THEM DON'T PAY.
08:16:11 DON'T PAY ANYTHING.
08:16:12 THEY DON'T PAY AD VALOREM TAX.
08:16:14 THEY DON'T PAY RENTAL CERTIFICATE.
08:16:16 AND IT'S TIME THAT WE START TAKING A HARDER LOOK AT THESE
08:16:20 THINGS.
08:16:20 AND I WANT TO COMPLIMENT YOUR CLIENT, WHOEVER HE OR SHE
08:16:25 IS IS BECAUSE THEY ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING.
08:16:27 AND THIS PART AS YOU WELL KNOW, MORE LIKELY TO PAY TAXES.
08:16:35 FOR ONE DWELLING.
08:16:37 YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE NOW SEVERAL BECAUSE YOU ARE
08:16:40 MULTIFAMILY.
08:16:40 AND I APPLAUD THEM FOR DOING THAT.
08:16:43 VERY FEW INDIVIDUALS, HE OR SHE.
08:16:48 IN FACT THIS IS THE FIRST THAT I CAN EVER RECALL IN ALL
08:16:50 MY YEARS OF PUBLIC SERVICE THAT HAVE DONE THIS.
08:16:53 AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE ADDRESSED.
08:16:57 WEST TAMPA, FULL OF TRACTOR TRAILERS AND ILLEGAL
08:17:04 DWELLINGS.
08:17:04 THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIRMAN.
08:17:05 >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
08:17:09 ANYBODY ELSE?
08:17:11 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
08:17:12 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: JB, WELCOME TO COUNCIL.
08:17:19 YOU HAVE GOOD PEDIGREE WITH YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.
08:17:23 IT'S NICE TO SEE ANOTHER BRICKLEMYER.
08:17:26 SO LET ME JUST CLARIFY.
08:17:33 I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.
08:17:34 IT SOUND TO ME LIKE YOU HAVE GOT TWO STRUCTURES OUT THERE
08:17:37 THAT HAVE BEEN ACTING AS TWO SEPARATE RENTALS, AND YOUR
08:17:41 CLIENT IS TRYING TO FIX THAT.
08:17:43 WITH THE EUCLIDEAN ZONING.
08:17:47 LET ME CLARIFY, COUNCIL, AND I AM SURE I AM STATING THE
08:17:51 OBVIOUS, FOR THE REST OF COUNCIL, NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY,
08:17:54 NO MATTER WHAT YOUR CLIENT SAYS, IT DOESN'T MATTER, YOU
08:17:58 HAVE GOT EUCLIDEAN ZONING, YOU COULD TEAR IT DOWN AND
08:18:02 COULD GET THE REZONING, TEAR DOWN THE EXISTING AND BUILD
08:18:06 TWO PROBABLY TEN HOMES SIDE BY SIDE, 1850 SQUARE FEET,
08:18:14 900 PER FLOOR, THEREABOUTS.
08:18:16 I THINK THAT'S A REALISTIC POSSIBILITY.
08:18:21 MR. MANASSE SAID THAT WAS THE MINIMUM.
08:18:24 AND ON A SMALL LOT THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT COULD HAPPEN.
08:18:28 BUT I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY, WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE,
08:18:31 YOU KNOW.
08:18:34 YOU KNOW FROM LAW SCHOOL AND EVERYTHING ELSE, IT RUNS
08:18:36 WITH THE LAND, AND ONCE ZONING IS THERE IT'S THERE.
08:18:42 THE CONCERN I HAVE IS, THERE ISN'T ANY OPPOSITION AND
08:18:47 THAT SORT OF THING BUT THAT SHOULDN'T ALWAYS BE OUR
08:18:49 DECISION MAKER.
08:18:53 IF THIS PROJECT WAS IN VIRGINIA PARK, PALMA CEIA, OR
08:18:57 BAYSHORE OR WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, AND IT WAS GOING FROM
08:19:01 SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED TO RM-24, YOU PROBABLY WOULD HAVE
08:19:04 SOME OBJECTIONS.
08:19:05 BUT FOR WHAT REASON, WE DON'T HAVE ANY TONIGHT.
08:19:10 ANYWAY, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.
08:19:11 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
08:19:13 ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
08:19:15 MR. BRICKLEMYER, DO YOU HAVE ANY -- WAIT, DO WE HAVE ANY
08:19:20 PUBLIC COMMENT FOR ITEM NUMBER 6?
08:19:23 BEFORE WE GO TO REBUTTAL?
08:19:24 >> NO OTHER COMMENTS.
08:19:26 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MR. MANASSE, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING,
08:19:28 SIR?
08:19:30 >>RYAN MANASSE: I WAS JUST STATING ITEM NUMBER 5.
08:19:32 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I'M SORRY, ITEM NUMBER 5.
08:19:34 YES, SIR.
08:19:35 DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ON THE SECOND FLOOR FOR PUBLIC
08:19:36 COMMENT?
08:19:42 >>AILEEN ROSARIO: THERE IS NO ONE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS
08:19:44 ITEM.
08:19:44 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
08:19:46 MR. BRICKLEMYER, DO YOU HAVE REBUTTAL, SIR?
08:19:49 >> JUST A COUPLE OF BRIEF COMMENTS.
08:19:51 MR. DINGFELDER, THANK YOU.
08:19:52 I THINK I WILL TAKE THAT AS A COMPLIMENT.
08:19:54 MY BROTHER AND MY NEPHEW, NOT MY DAD.
08:19:59 I APPRECIATE THAT.
08:20:00 I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING AND I THINK IT'S A VALID
08:20:02 POINT, BUT FOR THE FACT THAT MY CLIENTS OWNED THE
08:20:05 PROPERTY FOR 12, 13 YEARS NOW.
08:20:10 AND ONCE HE DISCOVERED THIS -- AND BY THE WAY, MR.
08:20:14 MIRANDA, HE'S THE SAME RENTAL CERTIFICATE, BEFORE ALL OF
08:20:16 THE DWELLINGS, ALL OF THE RENTALS THAT HAVE GONE ON
08:20:19 THERE.
08:20:26 SO, AGAIN, ONCE IT CAME TO HIS ATTENTION THIS WAS A
08:20:28 PROBLEM HE CALLED US AND SAID, HEY, HOW DO I FIX THIS,
08:20:31 AND IN FUTURE LAND USE, I SAID HERE IS A SIMPLE WAY TO
08:20:34 FIX IT.
08:20:35 SO AGAIN, I CAN'T SAY WITH 100% CERTAINTY HE'S NOT GOING
08:20:39 TO DO THAT BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY HE WOULD HOLD SOMETHING
08:20:43 13 YEARS AND THEN GO BACK AND PUT MONEY INTO IT AND TEAR
08:20:46 SOMETHING DOWN AND PUT SOMETHING BACK UP.
08:20:49 THE PROPERTY VALUES AND THE RENTAL VALUES IN THAT
08:20:52 NEIGHBORHOOD ARE GOING TO IN -- AREN'T GOING TO INCREASE
08:20:54 DRAMATICALLY JUST BECAUSE HE COMES IN AND TEARS SOMETHING
08:20:57 DOWN AND PUTS A NEW HOUSE.
08:20:58 SO I SUSPECT HE'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE ANYTHING FROM THE
08:21:02 WAY HE'S DOING.
08:21:02 HE'S JUSTIFIES JUST TRYING TO GET INTO COMPLIANCE WITH
08:21:05 WHAT HE'S SUPPOSED TO DO LEGITIMATELY AND LEGALLY.
08:21:09 THAT'S ALL I HAVE, MR. CHAIR.
08:21:10 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE?
08:21:14 MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CITRO.
08:21:16 SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
08:21:18 ALL IN FAVOR?

08:31:22 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE

08:31:29 SHOULD IT THE PLEASURE OF CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE

08:33:28 WE'LL SQUARE IN NOW.
08:33:30 (OATH ADMINISTERED BY CLERK).
08:33:33 >> I DO.
08:33:34 >> I DO.
08:33:34 >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
08:33:37 COUNCILMAN CITRO, YES, SIR.
08:33:38 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MR. MANASSE, PLEASE, THEY ARE ASKING FOR
08:33:42 A WAIVER OF 50% TREES?
08:33:45 I AM LOOKING AT AN AERIAL VIEW, AND I REALLY DON'T SEE
08:33:48 ANY TREES FROM THE AERIAL VIEW.
08:33:50 IS THEREIN ACTUALLY TREES THERE?
08:33:52 >> THERE'S A LOT OF PALM TREES, SIR.
08:33:56 AND I DO HAVE NATURAL RESOURCES STAFF IF YOU WANT ANY
08:33:58 FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR THEM AVAILABLE, AND I SEE RICKY
08:34:02 PETERIKA.
08:34:03 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, CHAIR.
08:34:07 >> PETITIONER, GO AHEAD AND PRESENT.
08:34:10 >> KAMI CORBETT WITH THE LAW FIRM OF HILL WARD HENDERSON,
08:34:18 MAY I SHARE MY SCREEN, PLEASE?
08:34:20 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD.
08:34:32 WE SEE YOUR SCREEN.
08:34:34 PULL UP YOUR PowerPoint.
08:34:50 WE SEE IT.
08:34:51 GO AHEAD.
08:34:51 >> GOOD EVENING.
08:34:52 KAMI CORBETT FOR THE RECORD.
08:34:55 I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE THIS EVENING OF REPRESENTING
08:34:57 APPLICANT CROWN TOWER LLC.
08:34:59 CROWN TOWER IS AN ENTITY OWNED BY THE JACOBSON FAN
08:35:04 FAMILY, SPECIFICALLY MELVIN AND HIS SON DAVID WHO MANAGE
08:35:07 THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS OF THE EXISTING BUILDING AND
08:35:10 THEY ARE HEADING THIS REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT.
08:35:13 THESE ARE IMAGES OF THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT AND THE
08:35:15 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.
08:35:17 AND CROWN IS VERY PROUD OF THE REDESIGN OF THIS SITE AND
08:35:21 THINKS THAT IT REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT OVER
08:35:23 WHAT CURRENTLY IS ON THIS SITE AND AN IMPROVEMENT OVER
08:35:26 WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED IN THE 2018 PLAN.
08:35:30 THE JACOBSONS OWNED THIS PROPERTY SINCE 1947.
08:35:34 AND THEY DEVELOPED THE EXISTING OFFICE BUILDING IN 1962.
08:35:37 THEY ARE NOT SPECULATIVE DEVELOPERS.
08:35:40 THEY HAVE BEEN INVESTED IN THIS AREA FOR 74 YEARS.
08:35:42 THE JACOBSONS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY SENSITIVE TO HOW THE
08:35:46 REDEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE THAT MIGHT AFFECT THE
08:35:49 NEIGHBORHOOD AND THAT'S WHY IN 2018 WHEN THE
08:35:53 REDEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE WAS ORIGINALLY PROPOSED THEY
08:35:55 INCLUDED THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AND
08:35:58 NEIGHBORS IN THE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE PROPOSED
08:35:59 REDEVELOPMENT PLAN.
08:36:01 AS A RESULT, THEY HAVE NO OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED PD.
08:36:05 AND THE SITE PLAN IS REFERRED IN 2018.
08:36:10 THE SAME IS TRUE WITH THIS PROPOSED REDESIGN.
08:36:12 MR. JACOBSON SPOKE WITH ALL THE STADIUM STAKEHOLDERS
08:36:17 INCLUDING THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE NEIGHBORS AND
08:36:19 NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AND MADE SURE THEY KNEW EXACTLY
08:36:23 WHAT WAS BEING PROPOSED.
08:36:24 AND WE ARE HAPPY TO REPORT THAT ONCE AGAIN WE HAVE
08:36:29 SUPPORT OF THE PALMA CEIA NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, AS
08:36:31 EVIDENCE IT BY THE E-MAIL THAT WAS SUBMITTED INTO THE
08:36:34 RECORD BY MR. MICHAEL McNABB, THE PRESIDENT OF THE
08:36:37 ASSOCIATION, AND AS YOU ALSO SAW, WE HAVE FATHER LEN FROM
08:36:39 CHRIST THE KING WHO SIGNED UP TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THIS
08:36:43 REQUEST AS WELL.
08:36:44 AND WITH THAT, I TURN THE PRESENTATION OVER TO MR. COHEN,
08:36:48 OUR PLANNING AND TRANSACTION CONSULTANT WHO WILL PROVIDE
08:36:51 ADDITIONAL DETAILS ABOUT THE PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE
08:36:52 EXISTING PD.
08:36:53 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
08:36:55 >> IF I MAY, I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE MY SCREEN.
08:37:22 >> I AM GOING TO FOCUS IN ON TO WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW.
08:37:25 THIS IS JUST AN PREVIEW OF THE SITE PLAN.
08:37:28 HERE IS A COLORED VERSION.
08:37:30 I WANT TO WALK YOU THROUGH THE SITE.
08:37:31 AS WE WERE ABLE TO DO THIS, WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE THE
08:37:34 BUILDING FROM BEING HERE AND EXTENDING ALL THE WAY BACK
08:37:37 TO MORRISON, BRINGING IT UP TO ITS PROPER LOCATION OFF
08:37:40 HENDERSON BOULEVARD.
08:37:41 THAT ALLOWED US AMONG OTHER THINGS TO CHANGE ACCESS TO
08:37:45 THE SITE, AND REDUCE THE NUMBER OF DRIVEWAYS.
08:37:49 THE DRIVEWAY AT HENDERSON.
08:37:51 WE PREVIOUSLY HAD THREE DRIVEWAYS ALONG CHURCH, AND DOWN
08:37:55 TO ONE.
08:37:56 WE HAVE TWO DRIVEWAYS ALONG MORRISON.
08:37:59 WE BROUGHT THAT DOWN TO ONE.
08:38:01 MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE BROUGHT ALL OF THE SERVICE ACTIVITY,
08:38:06 SOLID WASTE, INTERNAL TO THE SITE, WHICH IS VERY GOOD
08:38:10 FROM THE STANDPOINT OF WE WILL NOT BE IMPACTING ANY OF
08:38:12 THE PUBLIC ROADWAYS.
08:38:16 ALSO IT PROVIDES A GREAT SHIELD FROM NOISE AND
08:38:20 DISTURBANCE WITH LOADING AREAS GOING ON.
08:38:23 TALKING ABOUT THE AREA UP IN HERE, THE PARKING GARAGE,
08:38:25 THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SEEING SOME
08:38:29 ANIMATION ON THE SIDE OF THE PARKING GARAGE FACING
08:38:31 CHURCH.
08:38:32 WE HAVE RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL USES.
08:38:34 THEN WE GET TO THE PARKING STRUCTURE IN THIS AREA.
08:38:37 WE ARE ALSO KEEPING THE POST OFFICE WHICH IS CURRENTLY
08:38:41 LOCATED OVER HERE.
08:38:42 IT'S SIMPLY BEEN MOVED OVER AND PLACE PROVIDES ANIMATION
08:38:46 IN HERE.
08:38:48 WHILE THE PROJECT HAS INCREASED IN SQUARE FOOTAGE BY
08:38:51 ABOUT 4.9%, WE HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN ABLE TO INCREASE THE
08:38:54 TRAFFIC ON THE PROJECT BY NEARLY 30%.
08:38:58 HOW DID WE DO THAT?
08:39:00 FIRST, THE BUILDING WAS DECREASED IN SIZE BY 53%, A VERY
08:39:09 HIGH GENERATOR OF TRAFFIC.
08:39:10 ALSO WORKING WITH U.S. POSTAL SERVICE, DECREASE THE SIZE
08:39:13 OF THE POST OFFICE BY 35%.
08:39:16 THOSE TWO REDUCTIONS MORE THAN OFFSET ANY SMALL SQUARE
08:39:22 FOOTAGE WE HAVE INCREASE IN THE BUILDING ITSELF.
08:39:25 ANOTHER IMPORTANT FEATURE OF THIS PROJECT IS THAT WHILE
08:39:28 IT'S PREDOMINANTLY OFFICE, 11.9% OF THE USES IN THIS
08:39:32 PROJECT ARE NOT ALL, THE COMPLEMENTARY RETAIL AND
08:39:37 COMMERCIAL USES THEMSELVES.
08:39:40 JUST A MOMENT ABOUT THE WAIVERS.
08:39:42 I GOT AHEAD OF MYSELF. TALK A MOMENT ABOUT THE WAIVERS
08:39:45 THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED IN THE PREVIOUS ZONING
08:39:47 BUT WE HAVE THEM ON HERE.
08:39:50 THE FIRST WAIVER IS FOR COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC ON CHURCH AND
08:39:53 ON MORRISON.
08:39:55 THAT'S INEVITABLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO BE THE PARKING
08:39:57 STRUCTURE TO THE PROJECT ITSELF.
08:39:59 ALSO, SCARED BY SOLID WASTE FOR THEIR OPERATION IS HERE.
08:40:05 SECOND TO REDUCE THE LOADING BERTH FROM THE REQUIRED 4 IN
08:40:09 THE CODE TO 2.
08:40:11 IT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED AND TWO LOADING BERTHS WORK
08:40:14 FINE FOR THIS PROJECT.
08:40:15 THE THIRD WAIVER IS THE MANEUVERING WAIVER, THE TECHNICAL
08:40:18 WAIVER REGARDING BACKING UP INTO, ALREADY APPROVED ON THE
08:40:24 SAME THING HERE.
08:40:26 FOURTH WAIVER IS LITERALLY TO NOT INCREASE THE SIGNAGE ON
08:40:31 THE BUILDING THAT'S ALLOWED UNDERSTOOD CODE BUT TO ALLOW
08:40:34 SOME FLEXIBILITY IN THE POSITIONING OF THOSE SIGNAGE TO
08:40:37 THE SHAPE OF THIS PARTICULAR BUILD ITSELF.
08:40:43 THE FIFTH WAIVER WAS IF WE WERE NOT ABLE TO GET ALL OF
08:40:47 THE VEGETATION TREES ON THE PROPERTY THAT WE BE ABLE TO
08:40:51 PAY INTO THE TREE TRUST FUND.
08:40:53 OUR ONE NEW WAIVER IS TREES.
08:40:55 AND WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT OVER TO RICKY PETERIKA WHO
08:41:00 IS MUCH MORE VERSED ON TREES THAN I AM.
08:41:03 THANK YOU.
08:41:03 >> THANK YOU, RANDY.
08:41:07 CAN I SHARE MY SCREEN, PLEASE?
08:41:23 BOARD CERTIFIED MASTER ARBORIST.
08:41:25 WE ARE REQUESTING A WAIVER FROM THE MINIMUM TREE
08:41:28 RETENTION PERCENTAGE, A MINIMUM OF 50% IS REQUIRED FOR
08:41:32 ON-SITE PROTECTED TREES, AND WE ARE PROPOSING TO PRESERVE
08:41:37 45%.
08:41:38 THERE ARE 40 TREES ON THE SITE, 22 OF WHICH ARE BEING
08:41:42 REMOVED.
08:41:51 DID IT NOT SHOW UP?
08:41:53 ARE YOU ABLE TO SEE THE PowerPoint?
08:41:55 >>THE CLERK: YES, THEY CAN SEE IT.
08:42:00 >> I WAS NOT AWARE OF WHAT YOU WERE SEEING SO I WILL MOVE
08:42:05 FORWARD.
08:42:06 22 TREES ARE BEING REMOVED BUT OF THOSE 22 TREES, 20 ARE
08:42:09 PALMS, WHICH IS WHY THEY DON'T HAVE MUCH OF AN AERIAL
08:42:13 SIGNATURE AS NOTED BY COUNCILMAN CITRO.
08:42:17 THIS IS RELEVANT BECAUSE UNLIKE LARGE TREES WHICH CAN
08:42:20 TAKE YEARS TO REACH MATURITY, MATURE PALMS CAN BE
08:42:24 RESTORED ALMOST INSTANTLY WITH NEW PLANTED PALMS.
08:42:29 ALSO, THE CODE SECTION ABOUT MINIMUM TREE PRESERVATION
08:42:33 INCLUDES A FOOTNOTE THAT SAYS IT SHALL NOT APPLY WHEN
08:42:36 THERE ARE NOT AN ADEQUATE NUMBER OF TREES ON-SITE IN GOOD
08:42:41 OR EXCELLENT CONDITION.
08:42:42 SINCE THE SITE WAS PREVIOUSLY DEVELOPED, AND THE CANOPY
08:42:44 WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY PALM TREES, WE WERE INITIALLY UNDER
08:42:47 THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS RETENTION REQUIREMENT WOULD NOT
08:42:51 APPLY BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT AN ADEQUATE -- TREES ON THE
08:42:55 SITE. IN AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION, WE ARE REQUESTING THE
08:42:57 WAIVER ANYWAY.
08:43:00 ALSO, IF WE ONLY CONSIDERED THE TREES IN EXCELLENT OR
08:43:08 GOOD CONDITION AS THE FOOTNOTE STATES THEN THE WAIVER IS
08:43:11 NOT NECESSARY BECAUSE WE EXCEED 50%.
08:43:13 AGAIN, THIS WHAT Q WAS MADE IN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION.
08:43:17 THIS IS AT THE CUSP OF THE NEW TREE CODE AND THINGS WERE
08:43:22 STILL WORKING OUT SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE.
08:43:27 THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
08:43:27 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
08:43:29 WHO IS NEXT?
08:43:30 >> KAMI CORBETT AGAIN FOR THE RECORD IF I COULD SHARE MY
08:43:33 SCREEN AGAIN, PLEASE.
08:43:34 >>KAMI CORBETT: THAT WAS MR. PETERIKA'S SCREEN.
08:43:51 THERE WE GO.
08:43:52 >> IS THAT YOUR SCREEN?
08:44:01 >>KAMI CORBETT: YES.
08:44:02 BUT I NEED TO GET BACK TO --
08:44:09 >>> OKAY.
08:44:10 >>KAMI CORBETT: MR. PETERIKA DID A GREAT JOB COVERING
08:44:13 THE NEW WAIVER REQUEST AND CLEARLY DEMONSTRATED THERE
08:44:16 WILL BE NO HARM TO THE PUBLIC AS A RESULT OF THIS WAIVER,
08:44:19 AND THAT THE INTENT OF THE CODE REALLY PROBABLY CAPTURES
08:44:23 THIS SITE WHERE THE SO-CALLED TREE CANOPY IS COMPRISED OF
08:44:27 EXISTING LANDSCAPING PALMS AND OTHERWISE COMPLETELY
08:44:32 BARREN SURFACE LOTS, AND THE REDESIGN OF THIS SITE AND
08:44:35 THE GRANTING OF THE WAIVER WILL RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL
08:44:38 JUSTICE BEING SERVED.
08:44:42 TO SUMMARIZE, YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION AND GROWTH
08:44:45 MANAGEMENT STAFF BOTH DETERMINED THAT THIS PROPOSED PD IS
08:44:49 COMPATIBLE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND CONSISTENT
08:44:52 WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND CONSISTENT WITH YOUR LAND
08:44:54 DEVELOPMENT CODE.
08:44:58 SUPPLEMENTAL EXPERT TESTIMONY FROM MR. COEN AND MR.
08:45:03 PETERIKA CLEARLY CONSTITUTE SUBSTANTIAL COMPETENT
08:45:06 EVIDENCE THAT THE APPLICANT HAS MET ITS BURDEN THAT THE
08:45:09 PROPOSED PD PLAN IS COMPARABLE WITH THE PLAN AND LAND
08:45:13 DEVELOPMENT CODE AND WITH THAT I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST
08:45:15 YOUR APPROVAL, AND LIKE TO RESERVE ANY REMAINING TIME FOR
