17:14:30 TONIGHT OR IS GOING TO BE SPEAKING TONIGHT, WOULD YOU
17:14:34 PLEASE STAND, RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND BE SWORN IN.
17:14:41 SO IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE SPEAKING AND GIVING COMMENTS

17:14:48 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, JUST AS A REMINDER, MY

17:15:08 THANK YOU.
17:15:11 TO ACCOMMODATE THE PEOPLE ON THE SECOND FLOOR AND.
17:15:16 >> IT SPILLED OVER ON THE FIRST FLOOR, PERHAPS.
17:15:17 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
17:15:22 YES, MISS JOHNSON-VELEZ.
17:15:25 >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ, CITY LEGAL
17:15:27 DEPARTMENT.
17:15:29 PROPOSAL FOR DRI.
17:15:32 BECAUSE COUNCIL DOESN'T SEE THEM THAT OFTEN, TWO OR
17:15:35 THREE IN THE TIME THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
17:15:38 I WANTED TO GIVE A REFRESHER WHAT A DEVELOPMENT OF
17:15:41 REGIONAL IMPACT IS, A CREATURE OF STATUTE THAT WAS
17:15:44 CREATED TO ADDRESS THE REVIEW AND PROCESSING OF LARGE
17:15:46 SCALE DEVELOPMENTS THAT EFFECT MORE THAN ONE COUNTY AND
17:15:50 A MIXED-USE PROJECT LIKE THE HARBOUR ISLAND PROJECT IS
17:15:52 A TYPICAL EXAMPLE OF THE TYPE OF PROJECT THAT WOULD
17:15:55 HAVE GOTTEN DRI REVIEW.
17:15:58 AND SO IT IS ALL -- IT IS ALL CONTROLLED BY FLORIDA
17:16:00 STATUTES AND THERE USED TO BE COORDINATION BETWEEN THE
17:16:04 REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO
17:16:07 COORDINATE ALL THE REVIEWING AGENCIES BOTH AT THE
17:16:12 STATE AND REGIONAL AND LOCAL LEVEL, BUT IN 2015 AND
17:16:15 2018, THE STATE LEGISLATURE PASSED SIGNIFICANT
17:16:18 LEGISLATION THAT VIRTUALLY ELIMINATED STATE AND
17:16:23 REGIONAL OVERSIGHT OF EXISTING DEVELOPMENTS OF REGIONAL
17:16:27 IMPACT AND TRANSFERRED THAT FOR IMPLEMENTING AND
17:16:30 APPROVING AMENDMENTS TO DRI DEVELOPMENT ORDERS TO LOCAL
17:16:32 GOVERNMENTS WHERE THE DROCHLTS LOCATED.
17:16:35 BECAUSE THE HARBOUR ISLAND DRI IS LOCATED IN THE CITY
17:16:38 OF TAMPA, THE CITY HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO IMPLEMENT
17:16:42 AND APPROVE ANY AMENDMENTS OR OPPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE
17:16:45 HARBOUR ISLAND DRI DEVELOPMENT ORDER.
17:16:48 THIS PARTICULAR REQUEST TO CHANGE TO THIS DRI IS
17:16:52 REQUESTING AN INCREASE IN ENTITLEMENTS UNDER THE
17:16:56 DEVELOPMENT ORDER TO PERMIT A MAXIMUM OF 150 HOTEL
17:17:00 ROOMS WITH ANCILLARY HOTEL USES AND 160 PARKING
17:17:01 SPACES.
17:17:04 SEEKING TO UPDATE MAP H TO REFLECT INCREASE IN
17:17:08 ENTITLEMENTS OF DETERMINATION DATE OF THE DEVELOPMENT
17:17:12 ORDER TO SEPTEMBER 22 ARE 2024, BASED ON EXTENSIONS
17:17:18 BASED ON THE STATUTORY RIGHT TO EXTEND, BASED ON
17:17:21 DECLARATION OF STATE OF EMERGENCY AND ALSO, IT IS
17:17:24 ASKING TO ELIMINATE THE REQUIREMENT FOR ANNUAL
17:17:26 REPORTING THAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER.
17:17:31 AND SO WITH THAT, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MISS BARNES TO
17:17:34 GIVE STAFF A PRESENTATION AND HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT
17:17:37 AND HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS OF THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER
17:17:41 AND NOTICE OF PROPOSED CHANGE THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.
17:17:42 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ANY QUESTIONS?
17:17:45 THANK YOU, MISS JOHNSON-VELEZ,
17:17:48 >>ANNIE BARNES: ANNIE BARNES, LAND DEVELOPMENT.
17:17:50 I THINK STAFF STILL NEEDS TO SWEAR IN.
17:17:52 CAN WE BE SWORN IN, PLEASE.
17:17:54 >>CLERK: [SWEARING IN]
17:18:03 THANK YOU.
17:18:10 >>ANNIE BARNES: THANK YOU, ITEM NUMBER 3 IS REZ-21-52.
17:18:13 THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 800 SOUTH HARBOUR
17:18:15 ISLAND BOULEVARD.
17:18:20 THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM PD TO PD.
17:18:21 I WILL TURN THE PRESENTATION OVER TO THE PLANNING
17:18:23 COMMISSION AND AFTER THEIR PRESENTATION, I WILL
17:18:29 CONCLUDE MINE.
17:18:31 >>JENNIFER MALONE: GOOD EVENING, JENNIFER MALONE WITH
17:18:32 THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
17:18:35 PARTICULAR HAVE PERMISSION -- THERE YOU GO -- TO SHARE
17:18:36 MY SCREEN.
17:18:40 SO AS ANNIE ALREADY OPENED UP, THERE IS 21-52.
17:18:44 IT IS LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT IN
17:18:45 HARBOUR ISLAND.
17:18:50 IT IS WITHIN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA AND
17:18:52 EVACUATION ZONE A.
17:18:56 THE SITE IS SERVED BY TRANSIT .4 MILES AWAY ON WATER
17:18:57 STREET.
17:18:59 AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
17:19:02 WE HAVE -- THIS IS HARBOUR ISLAND.
17:19:05 THERE IS A NUMBER OF HIGH-RISE DEVELOPMENTS RIGHT
17:19:09 ACROSS THE STREET, ACROSS THE AVENUE AND AT THE CORNER
17:19:13 OF KNIGHT'S RUN AND SOUTH BENEFICIAL TO THE EAST OF THE
17:19:16 SITE THE JACKSON AND AMERICAN SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT TO THE
17:19:17 NORTH.
17:19:21 THERE IS A HARBOUR ISLAND ATHLETIC CLUB TO THE EAST.
17:19:24 AND A LOT OF -- A LOT OF HOUSE TOGETHER SOUTH OF THE
17:19:27 SUBJECT SITE AND VARIETY OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOUSING
17:19:32 ATTACHED, DETACHED, AND SOME CONDO, TOWN HOME-STYLE
17:19:32 HOUSING.
17:19:35 OF COURSE WE HAVE WATER STREET DIRECTLY TO THE NORTH
17:19:37 OFF OF THE ISLAND.
17:19:40 SO THIS IS THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
17:19:44 THE ENTIRE HARBOUR ISLAND IS REGIONAL MIXED USE-100.
17:19:46 AND YOU WILL HEAR A LOT OF THE PLANNING EFFORTS THAT
17:19:50 HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE FOR HARBOUR ISLAND THROUGHOUT
17:19:51 THE YEARS ARE.
17:19:56 THAT THE COMP PLAN DES ANYTHING THAT IT $AS REGIONAL
17:19:57 MIXED USE-100.
17:20:00 AND THE WHOLE ISLAND IS PLANNED FOR HIGH INTENSITY
17:20:01 MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT.
17:20:04 DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE DEVELOPMENT HAS TO BE MIXED USE
17:20:07 AS I AM SURE YOU ALL KNOW, THAT MEANS A MIX OF USES.
17:20:11 AND WE HAVE SEEN THAT ON HARBOUR ISLAND AS IT IS DIRECT
17:20:14 $THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WITH A MIXTURE OF DIFFERENT TYPE
17:20:17 OF USES LIKE OFFICES, RESIDENTIAL, SOME RESTAURANTS,
17:20:20 ETC.
17:20:22 WE DID FIND THAT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WAS
17:20:24 CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
17:20:29 THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOES NOT REGULATE HEIGHT AND PRO
17:20:31 STRIDES A GUIDELINES.
17:20:36 IN THE REGIONAL MIXED USE RESIDENTIAL USE CATEGORY,
17:20:39 DEVELOPMENTS CAN BE TYPICALLY UP TO 24 STORIES.
17:20:42 THE HEIGHT OF 12 STORIES WAS FOUND TO BE CONSISTENT
17:20:45 WITH THE PLAN AND FOUND COMPATIBLE WHAT IS DIRECTLY TO
17:20:48 ITS NORTH AND NORTHEAST.
17:20:51 WE ALSO FOUND THAT IT WAS FURTHERING THE MIXED USE
17:20:56 POLICY DIRECTION BY PROVIDING PEDESTRIAN ENTRANCE ALONG
17:20:59 KNIGHTS RUN AVENUE THAT CONNECTS TO A PUBLIC SIDEWALK.
17:21:02 WE FOUND THAT THE INTEGRATED PARKING GARAGE THE
17:21:05 APPLICANT SAID SCREENED WITH 80% CAPACITY CONSISTENT
17:21:09 WITH OTHER POLICIES IN THE PLAN OF ARCHITECTURALLY
17:21:11 SCREENING PARKING GARAGES.
17:21:13 I WANT TO NOTE FOR THE RECORD IT IS LOCATED WITHIN THE
17:21:17 COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA AND THE PROPOSED PD IS
17:21:18 COMMERCIAL IN NATURE.
17:21:21 DOES NOT INCREASE THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS AND
17:21:25 THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS NOT SUBJECT TO 1.2.2.
17:21:27 SO OVERALL, THE PLANNING COMMISSION DID FIND THAT THE
17:21:30 PROPOSED REZONING IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE
17:21:33 SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD AND CONSISTENT WITH THAT
17:21:37 UNDERLYING FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
17:21:41 I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER TO ANNIE, THANK YOU.

17:23:45 PETITIONER.
17:23:47 MR. SHELBY.
17:23:50 >>MARTIN SHELBY: YES, MR. CHAIRMAN.
17:23:56 I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH MR. CREMER.
17:24:10 AND THERE ARE SOME -- THERE ARE SOME PROCEDURAL ISSUES
17:24:12 THAT CAME TO LIGHT AND I WAS WONDERING WHETHER PERHAPS
17:24:15 NOW IS THE TIME TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE ISSUES.
17:24:19 IF THERE IS A OPPORTUNITY FOR CROSS EXAMINATION, I
17:24:21 WANTED TO BRING THAT TO COUNCIL'S ATTENTION.
17:24:25 MR. CREMER, DO YOU WANT TO ADDRESS THAT NOW OR
17:24:29 DEPENDING ON HOW THINGS COME UP DURING THE HEARING.
17:24:30 >> JAKE CREMER FOR THE RECORD.
17:24:31 I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
17:24:34 MR. SHELBY AND I TALKED OF THE POSSIBILITY TO
17:24:37 CROSS-EXAMINE WITNESS IT IS NEEDED.
17:24:42 WHAT WE DISCUSSED IS IF ANY WITNESSES NEED TO BE
17:24:44 CROSS-EXAMINED THAT WILL OCCUR DIRECTLY AFTER THAT
17:24:45 WITNESS SPOKE.
17:24:47 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE REASON I BRING THAT UP, MR.
17:24:51 CHAIRMAN, IS WE DO HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE ONLINE.
17:24:55 AND I WOULD ASK THAT THE CLERK KEEP THOSE PEOPLE ONLINE
17:24:58 FOR THE PERIOD AFTERWARDS IN CASE MR. CREMER OR
17:25:02 ANYBODY ELSE WHO WOULD HAVE STAND WHO YOU WANT TO BE
17:25:04 ABLE TO CROSS-EXAMINE.
17:25:07 AND ALSO, THAT THE PEOPLE IN THE -- IN THE ROOM OR
17:25:11 DOWNSTAIRS WHEN THEY COME UP TO SPEAK, THEY ALSO REMAIN
17:25:14 AFTERWARDS IN CASES THERE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
17:25:16 REQUIREMENT FOR CROSS EXAMINATION IN THIS CASE.
17:25:17 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
17:25:20 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MR. SHELBY, IF I MAY ASK.
17:25:22 I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY OF LAW.
17:25:26 IF SOMEBODY IS GIVING A COMMENT, DOES THAT GIVE MR.
17:25:28 CREMER THE RIGHT TO CROSS-EXAMINE.
17:25:32 OR IF SOMEONE IS GIVEN COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL
17:25:32 EVIDENCE.
17:25:35 I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND MY POINT.
17:25:39 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CREMER WOULD BE TOO, NOT ON
17:25:43 SOMEBODY ELSE'S OPINION, UNLESS THEY WERE AN EXPERT.
17:25:47 >> CORRECT, IF SOMEONE IS AN EXPERT AND NOT PERSONAL
17:25:48 OPINION, YES, SIR.
17:25:49 >>JOSEPH CITRO: UNDERSTOOD.
17:25:52 >> MR. CHAIR, JUST ANOTHER MATTER OF HOUSE KEEPING
17:25:53 SINCE THIS IS TWO HEARINGS.
17:25:55 I SEE MY TIMER SAYS 30 MINUTES.
17:25:59 I HOPE TO NOT TAKE THAT MUCH TIME, BUT IS THAT MY TIME
17:26:02 OR INTRODUCTION AND REBUTTAL ALL TOGETHER OR HOW ARE WE
17:26:05 GOING TO KEEP TIME TONIGHT?
17:26:09 >>JOSEPH CITRO: WILL SHELBY.
17:26:13 >>MARTIN SHELBY: WHAT WAS THAT?
17:26:16 BEING HEARD TOGETHER, I DON'T THINK THE DRI WILL TAKE
17:26:16 THAT MUCH TIME.
17:26:17 >> THAT'S CORRECT.
17:26:19 I THINK I NEED A LITTLE MORE TIME THAN 15 MINUTES.
17:26:24 >>MARTIN SHELBY: HOW MUCH TIME ARE YOU REQUESTING?
17:26:25 >> 20 MINUTES DIRECT.
17:26:27 AND 10 MINUTES TOTAL FOR REBUTTAL.
17:26:29 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I FEEL THAT IS ALL RIGHT.
17:26:32 ANY OBJECTIONS TO THAT?
17:26:33 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: IF I MAY.
17:26:35 THAT IS FINE WITH ME, BUT THE OTHER SIDE -- THE
17:26:43 PETITIONER THEY ARE ALSO ENTITLED TO THE SAME AMOUNT.
17:26:46 >>JOSEPH CITRO: IS THAT ALL RIGHT WITH YOU, MR.
17:26:47 CREMER?
17:26:49 >> I AM NOT SURE -- I KNOW THERE IS AT LEAST ONE
17:26:50 ATTORNEY HERE IN OPPOSITION.
17:26:53 I AM NOT SURE HOW MUCH TIME THAT THEY HAVE THROUGH
17:26:55 WAIVERS FOR THEIR ASSOCIATION.
17:27:00 SO I AM HAPPY TO GIVE THEM THE TIME THEY NEED.
17:27:03 I THINK WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT --
17:27:06 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YOU ARE ASKING FOR 20 MINUTES TOTAL?
17:27:08 >> FOR MY INITIAL PRESENTATION, YES, SIR.
17:27:10 >>JOSEPH CITRO: A MOTION TO THAT.
17:27:11 >>LUIS VIERA: SO MOVED.
17:27:12 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SECOND.

17:27:16 THANK YOU.
17:27:19 >> LAST MATTER OF HOUSEKEEPING, MR. CHAIR.
17:27:22 I PRESENTED SOME BINDERS AND ASK THAT THEY BE ENTERED
17:27:23 INTO THE RECORD.
17:27:26 THEY HAVE EXPERT REPORTS AND RESUMES.
17:27:28 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SO MOVED.
17:27:31 >>JOSEPH CITRO: A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
17:27:33 SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN VIERA.
17:27:36 ANY OBJECTION?
17:27:37 >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
17:27:39 IF WE CAN GO TO THE PRESENTATION PLEASE.
17:27:43 AGAIN, JAKE CREMER WITH STEARNS, WEAVER, MILLER, 401
17:27:44 EAST JACKSON STREET.
17:27:46 I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
17:27:49 WE ARE PROPOSING AN AC HOTEL BY MARRIOTT ON HARBOUR
17:27:53 ISLAND AS HEARD BY STAFF.
17:27:57 IT IS TO MIRROR THE CONTEXT OF DOWNTOWN AND HARBOUR
17:27:58 ISLAND.
17:28:01 WE PUT TOGETHER OUR TEAM VERY PURPOSELY, LIBERTY, THE
17:28:04 DEVELOPER, HAS EXPERIENCED DEVELOPING MARRIOTT AND A
17:28:06 HILTON IN DOWNTOWN.
17:28:10 ALL OF THE COMPANIES THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH ALSO HAVE
17:28:13 EXPERIENCE DEVELOPING HOTELS IN DOWNTOWN.
17:28:20 TONIGHT, WE ARE PROPOSING TO REDEVELOP AN OBSOLETE BANK
17:28:23 BUILDING WITH A UPSCALE LIFESTYLE HOTEL.
17:28:26 IN HAS BEEN AN 18-MONTH PROCESS, COUNCIL, AND INVOLVED
17:28:29 MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF COMMUNITY FEEDBACK.
17:28:32 REDUCED THE HOTEL FROM 15 TO 12 STORIES TO BE SHORTER
17:28:35 THAN THE ADJACENT OFFICE BUILDING.
17:28:39 WE COMPLETELY REDESIGNED THE HOTEL A FEW MONTHS AGO.
17:28:44 AND ADDED AN ANCILLARY ARTIST GALLERY IN THE CAFE AND
17:28:46 INTEGRATED ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES TO ACTIVATE THE
17:28:49 STREET AND PROTECT THE NEIGHBORS TO MAKE THE STREET
17:28:49 SAFER.
17:28:53 UNLIKE MANY PDS THAT YOU ALL SEE, WE HAVE REMOVED ALL
17:28:55 WAIVERS AND FULLY PARKED THIS BUILDING AT THE REQUEST
17:28:57 OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
17:29:01 AGAIN, WE DID THIS BASED ON COMMUNITY FEEDBACK.
17:29:04 SO LET'S JUMP INTO THE CONTEXT.
17:29:07 WE ARE LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF HARBOUR ISLAND, AS
17:29:08 STAFF MENTIONED.
17:29:12 THE SITE IS LOCATED ABOUT A BLOCK FROM THE WESTIN HOTEL
17:29:16 WHICH IS ON HARBOUR ISLAND AND NORTH OF THE ATHLETIC
17:29:17 CLUB.
17:29:21 ALSO NORTH OF THE GATES FOR A GATED COMMUNITY ON THE
17:29:23 SOUTH SIDE OF HARBOUR ISLAND THAT YOU SEE IN RED AND
17:29:27 WILL BE IN RED IN THE NEXT SERIES OF SLIDES.
17:29:30 URBAN USES SURROUND THE SITE MAKING IT PRIME FOR
17:29:31 REDEVELOPMENT.
17:29:35 THIS IS REALLY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT INTERSECTION ON
17:29:36 HARBOUR ISLAND.
17:29:39 THE BANK BUILDING WAS BUILT 35 YEARS AGO AS THE
17:29:42 ORIGINAL SALES CENTER FOR HARBOR ISLAND.
17:29:45 IT IS OUTDATED AND GOING TO BE REPLACED AT SOME TIME.
17:29:47 THE ONLY QUESTION IS, WHAT?
17:29:49 WHAT WILL BE REPLACING IT.
17:29:54 THEN A SUNTRUST BANK AND THEN AN OFFICE BUILDING.
17:29:57 AS STAFF MENTIONED ALL WITHIN A DRI.
17:30:01 WHAT THAT MEANS THAT ALL OF ISLANDS WAS PLANNED
17:30:06 PURPOSELY BY STAFF, BY THE REGIONAL COUNCIL AND STATE
17:30:07 AGENCIES.
17:30:08 THEY ALL HAD INPUT.
17:30:12 THIS DRI IS WHY WE FILED A COMPANION NOTICE OF PROPOSED
17:30:14 CHANGE.
17:30:16 HARBOUR ISLAND IS THE FIRST MASTER PLAN MIXED USE
17:30:17 COMMUNITY IN TAMPA.
17:30:20 AS PLANNED, USES ARE MIXED THROUGHOUT THE ISLAND AND
17:30:23 NOT NECESSARILY BUILDING BY BUILDING.
17:30:26 FUNCTIONALLY, HARBOUR ISLAND IS AN EXTENSION OF
17:30:27 DOWNTOWN.
17:30:32 IT IS PART OF THE URBAN HEART AND URBAN CORE OF TAMPA.
17:30:35 OVERTIME THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ISLAND BEGAN TO REALIZE
17:30:36 THAT ORIGINAL VISION.
17:30:40 THE SOUTH BEHIND THE GATES DEVELOPED OUT AT MOST LOWER
17:30:42 DENSITIES THAN ORIGINALLY PLANNED.
17:30:47 SO TONIGHT IS REALLY A TALE OF TWO NEIGHBORHOODS.
17:30:49 YOU HAVE THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ISLAND WHERE THE SITE IS
17:30:55 LOCATED WHICH CONSISTS OF COMMERCIAL, HOTEL, OFFICE,
17:30:58 RETAIL AND VERY DENSE RESIDENTIAL.
17:31:01 THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ISLAND BEHIND THE GATES IS MIXED
17:31:02 DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.
17:31:07 EVERYTHING FROM SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES EIGHT-STORY
17:31:07 RESIDENTIAL.
17:31:12 SOUTH SIDE IS AN EXCLUSIVE GATED ENCLAVE AND NOT OPEN
17:31:14 TO THE PUBLIC.
17:31:17 AS STAFF MENTIONED, THE SITE IS CURRENTLY ZONED FOR
17:31:18 BANK AND OFFICE USES.
17:31:20 AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ISLAND, THAT
17:31:24 COMMUNITY HAS ITS OWN SERIES OF PDS.
17:31:27 AND THE -- I THINK IT IS SIGNIFICANT THAT THE
17:31:35 BOUNDARIES OF THOSE PDS BASICALLY FOLLOW THE GATES.
17:31:41 FUTURE LAND USE FROM REGULATORY, THE ISLAND HAS THE
17:31:45 MOST INTENSE LANDS USE IN THE CITY OUTSIDE OF CDB.
17:31:47 THE SAME CATEGORY AS CHANNELSIDE.
17:31:49 THAT IS WHERE OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
17:31:52 THAT IS THE TRAJECTORY FOR HARBOUR ISLAND.
17:31:58 RMU-100 ALLOWS HIGH RISE UP TO 24 STORIES AND KEEP IN
17:32:00 MIND WE ARE PROPOSING ONLY HALF THAT.
17:32:02 THE PLANNING COMMISSION NOTES THAT WE ARE IN A MIXED
17:32:05 USE CORRIDOR THAT ENCOURAGES TRANSIT AND CLOSE AND
17:32:08 WALKABLE TO THE TROLLEY AND WALKABLE TO THE CONVENTION
17:32:12 CENTER AND WALKABLE TO THE ARENA.
17:32:16 AS YOUR PROVISIONAL STAFF NOTES IN THEIR REPORT, THIS
17:32:18 HOTEL IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMP PLAN AND COMPATIBLE
17:32:19 WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
17:32:23 COMPATIBILITY IS NOT AN EYE OF THE BEHOLDER, COUNCIL.
17:32:26 IT SIMPLY MEANS THAT LAND USES CAN CO-EXIST OVER TIME
17:32:27 WITH EACH OTHER.
17:32:29 THEY WORK TOGETHER OVER TIME.
17:32:35 AND WHAT YOUR EXPERTS AND OURS -- EXPERT REPORT IN YOUR
17:32:37 BINDER WHAT THEY HAVE SAID THAT IS HAPPENING IN HARBOUR
17:32:41 ISLAND NOW WITH THE USES THAT ARE, THERE THAT ARE
17:32:44 PLANS, HOTELS, COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL, HIGH AND LOW
17:32:45 DENSITY.
17:32:48 WHAT THIS GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATES JUST THAT THAT THIS
17:32:50 BUILDING'S HEIGHT IS APPROPRIATE.
17:32:54 OVERALL, THERE ARE BUILDINGS TALLER THAN THIS PROJECT.
17:32:57 AND THERE ARE SEVEN BUILDINGS BETWEEN SEVEN AND 12
17:33:00 STORIES IN THE SAME RANGE OF THIS BUILDING.
17:33:02 INCLUDES TWO BUILDINGS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD SOUTH OF THE
17:33:03 GATE.
17:33:07 WHAT YOU WILL ALSO NOTE ON OUR SITE BLUE AND GREEN AS
17:33:10 OUR ARCHITECT WILL EXPLAIN.
17:33:12 THE BLUE IS THE TALLER PORTION OF THE BUILDING AS YOU
17:33:15 SEE IS PUSHED UP TOWARD THE MORE DENSE PART OF THE
17:33:18 ISLAND AND THE GREEN, THE BUILDING STEPS DOWN WHICH IS
17:33:22 FACING THE LESS DENSE -- LESS INTENSE PART OF THE
17:33:27 ISLAND.
17:33:29 NOW THE CURRENT ZONING OF THE ISLAND SOUTH OF THIS
17:33:32 BUILDING ALLOWS FOR BUILDINGS THAT ARE TALLER -- THE
17:33:36 ZONING ALLOWS FOR BUILDINGS UP TO 158 FEET AS OPPOSED
17:33:39 TO OUR 145.
17:33:43 SO THIS SHOWS -- THIS HELPS EMPHASIZE THE COMPATIBILITY
17:33:45 PICTURE.
17:33:49 IN READ THE EIGHT-STORY MULTIFAMILY IN THE SOUTH
17:33:49 NEIGHBORHOOD.
17:33:54 AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY ARE VERY CLOSE TO RESIDENTIAL.
17:34:00 140 FEET FROM SINGLE-FAMILY AND 132 FEET MULTIFAMILY.
17:34:04 THE HOTEL IS MUCH FURTHER AWAY 541 FEET FROM
17:34:06 SINGLE-FAMILY.
17:34:09 NOW AS I MENTIONED, WE HAD A LOT OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH.
17:34:13 PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST ROBUST COMMUNITY OUTREACH HE
17:34:15 BEEN INVOLVED IN A NUMBER OF YEARS ESPECIALLY WITH
17:34:16 COVID.
17:34:18 WE WORKED VERY HARD.
17:34:22 WE HAD A MEETING WITH THE MASTER ASSOCIATION HIX A.
17:34:27 WE HAD A PA MEETING WITH THE GROUP BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD
17:34:29 ASSOCIATION AND HAD A VIRTUAL COMMUNITY MEETING IN
17:34:32 JANUARY AND A IN-PERSON COMMUNITY MEETING THAT YOU SEE
17:34:34 THE PICTURES OF HERE IN APRIL.
17:34:36 AFTER THE FIRST COMMUNITY MEETING, WE COMPLETELY
17:34:38 DESIGNED THE ENTIRE PROJECT.
17:34:42 BY THAT, WE LITERALLY START ED WITH SQUARE ONE.
17:34:45 WE THREW OUT THE PLANS BASED ON THE COMMUNITY FEEDBACK
17:34:47 WE RECEIVED AND REDESIGNED THE ENTIRE PROJECT
17:34:51 INSIDE-OUT ALL THE WAY TO THE SITE PLAN.
17:34:54 UNTER I DON'T REMEMBER, EXTERIOR, EVERYTHING.
17:34:57 THESE ARE JUST -- REALLY THE TOP TEN CHANGES.
17:35:04 WE REDUCED THE FLOOR AREA RATIO, REDUCED THE BUILDING'S
17:35:05 SQUARE FOOTAGE.
17:35:08 REDUCED THE NUMBER OF GUEST ROOMS.
17:35:11 ELIMINATED ALL WAIVERS AND DESIGNED THE EXTERIOR AGAIN.
17:35:15 COMPLETELY ENCLOSED THE LOADING ZONE AND THE TRASH
17:35:16 COMPACTOR.
17:35:22 RETAINED THE HARBOUR ISLAND SIGNAGE AND ANNOUNCED A
17:35:25 HOTEL FLAG SO PEOPLE ARE GOING TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE
17:35:26 GOING TO GET.
17:35:30 THEN WE HAD A VERY SUCCESSFUL IN-PERSON COMMUNITY
17:35:32 MEETING LAST MONTH.
17:35:35 AS A RESULT OF THAT, WE TOOK THAT FEEDBACK AND TOOK
17:35:37 THREE STEPS.
17:35:41 THE FIRST IS WE HEARD A CONCERN THAT THE HOTEL RIGHT BE
17:35:44 OPEN TO PARKING BECAUSE IT IS A LITTLE BIT OVERPARKED.
17:35:49 THAT THE HOTEL MAY BE OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC FOR
17:35:49 PARKING.
17:35:53 AND BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING THAT PARK ALSO NOT
17:35:56 BE OPEN FOR A GENERAL PUBLIC.
17:35:59 SECOND CONCERN WE HAD IS PEOPLE ASKING FOR A LITTLE
17:36:00 MORE ACTIVATION OF THE GROUND FLOOR.
17:36:04 SO WHAT -- WHAT WE AGREED TO DO, WHAT WE HAVE COME UP
17:36:08 WITH IS INTEGRATE AN ARTIST GALLERY INTO THE FIRST
17:36:11 FLOOR LOBBY AND SPACES TO INTRODUCE TRAVELERS TO
17:36:12 TAMPA'S ART SCENE.
17:36:17 SO THAT THE SPACE CAN REALLY BE SORT OF AN INTIMATE
17:36:19 GATHERING SPACE.
17:36:22 COFFEE HOURS, NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS AND SO ON.
17:36:24 THE THIRD THING WE DID, WE HEARD CONCERNS OF TRAFFIC
17:36:28 FLOWS OFF OF THE ISLAND DURING SPECIAL EVENTS, LIKE
17:36:29 TONIGHT, RIGHT.
17:36:33 AND SO WHAT WE DID, IT IS NOT OUR PROBLEM THAT WE
17:36:34 DIDN'T CREATE IT.
17:36:38 BUT WE WENT TO TAMPA -- THE CITY OF TAMPA'S MOBILITY
17:36:41 STAFF AND HAD A CONVERSATION IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN
17:36:43 TO DO WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE PROGRESS ON THIS.
17:36:46 WHAT WE LEARNED FROM THAT YOUR STAFF IS ACTUALLY AHEAD
17:36:47 OF THE GAME.
17:36:49 THEY COMMISSIONED THE REPORT.
17:36:52 THE REPORT HAS DONE AND THEY ARE ANALYZING IT.
17:36:54 THE REPORT GIVES A DOZEN POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS TO THE
17:36:58 FRANKLIN STREET, HARBOUR ISLAND CORRIDOR.
17:37:00 PHYSICAL THINGS THAT CAN ACTUALLY BE DONE TO IMPROVE
17:37:01 THAT SITUATION.
17:37:05 MOBILITY STAFF AGREED THEY WILL THEY WILL LOOK AT THE
17:37:09 TIMING OF LIGHTS IN THE FRANKLIN STREET CORRIDOR TO SEE
17:37:12 IF THAT COULD HELP THE SITUATION DURING SPECIAL EVENTS.
17:37:14 WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO TURN THE PRESENTATION OVER
17:37:17 TO OUR ARCHITECT TO EXPLAIN THE CONTEXT OF THE BUILDING
17:37:19 AND SHOW YOU THE DESIGN.
17:37:21 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CHAIR.
17:37:23 SINCE MR. CREMER IS GOING TO SWITCH OVER AND SWITCH
17:37:27 GEARS, LET ME ASK A QUESTION.
17:37:28 >> YES, SIR.
17:37:30 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YOU SAID THE HOTEL WILL NOT BE OPEN
17:37:31 TO THE PUBLIC.
17:37:34 IF YOU ARE A HOTEL, EXPLAIN THAT TO ME.
17:37:37 THE HOTEL IS NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
17:37:38 HOW DOES THAT WORK?
17:37:42 >> THE SPECIFIC CONCERN WE HEARD WAS THAT WHAT IF -- IF
17:37:46 THE PARKING IS JUST OPEN TO ANYONE, PEOPLE WHO MAY
17:37:49 WANT TO COME DOWN TO HARBOUR ISLAND AND CAN'T FIND
17:37:54 PARKING OTHERWISE MAY PARK IN THE BUILDING.
17:37:57 AND THE CONCERN WE HEARD WAS THAT, HEY, IF YOU WERE
17:37:59 GOING TO BE A HOTEL, IT SHOULD BE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO
17:38:02 HAVE A PURPOSE OF BEING THERE IN THAT SPACE.
17:38:06 AND SO WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO WITH THE PARKING IS --
17:38:07 YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE A PURPOSE.
17:38:10 YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE A REASON OF BEING IN THE BUILDING
17:38:14 OR BEING ASSOCIATED WITH THAT PROPERTY.
17:38:17 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I AM JUST WONDERING HOW YOU ARE GOING
17:38:19 TO CONTROL THAT.
17:38:25 >> THE PARK ALSO BE VALET SERVICE.
17:38:27 GUDES MR. CREMER, CONTINUE SIR.
17:38:30 >> THE PARK ALSO BE VALET.
17:38:32 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR.
17:38:34 >> IF WE CAN GO BACK TO OUR PRESENTATION, OUR ARCHITECT
17:38:36 WILL USE THE PRESENTATION.
17:38:42 THANK YOU.
17:38:44 >> THANK YOU, JAKE.
17:38:49 MY NAME IS MICKEY JACOBS WITH MIDWOOD HILL ARCHITECT
17:38:51 AND THE DESIGN ARCHITECT FOR THE RECORD AND I HAVE BEEN
17:38:53 SWORN IN.
17:38:55 I WOULD LIKE TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE HOTEL.
17:38:57 WE DESIGNED IT.
17:38:59 WE ARE VERY PROUD OF IT.
17:39:02 WE HAVE THE ARCHITECTURAL SITE PLAN IN FRONT OF YOU.
17:39:04 I WANT TO START WITH THIS, BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE THE
17:39:07 COMMUNITY INTERACTS WITH THE BUILDING THE MOST ON THE
17:39:08 STREETSCAPE.
17:39:11 WE HAVE TAKEN GREAT CARE IN LOOKING HOW THE STREETSCAPE
17:39:14 EFFECTS IS GOING ON AROUND THE COMMUNITY.
17:39:17 I WANT TO POINT OUT FOUR DIFFERENT THINGS THAT I THINK
17:39:19 ARE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT.
17:39:23 ONE IS THE SIDEWALK AREA THAT WE ARE CREATED.
17:39:24 INTERACTIVE WIDE AREA.
17:39:26 WELL LIT.
17:39:28 CANOPIES FROM THE BUILDING.
17:39:29 AREAS FOR GATHERING.
17:39:32 AND WE ARE VERY EXCITED HOW THAT CONNECTS BOTH DOWN TO
17:39:34 THE SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD AND BACK INTO THE NORTH
17:39:38 NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THERE IS HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.
17:39:42 SECONDLY, WE HAVE CREATED A PORTE COCHERE VALET PARKING
17:39:44 SO THE CAR ALSO COME IN.
17:39:48 THE GUESTS WILL COME IN BY AUTO OFF OF KNIGHT'S RUN
17:39:52 AVENUE AND TURN INTO A COVERED PORTE COCHERE AREA THAT
17:39:56 IS UNDERNEATH THE BUILDING CANOPY SO THE CARS HAVE
17:39:58 PRIVACY.
17:40:02 THE CARS ARE OUT OF VIEW AND SAFER AND OUT OF THE
17:40:04 ELEMENT OF THE GUESTS ARRIVING AT THE HOTEL.
17:40:08 THIRDLY, TAKING THE LOADING BERTHS AND LOADING DOCKS
17:40:11 AND MOVED THEM BACK INTO THE BUILDING SUBSTANTIALLY SO
17:40:14 THAT ANY DELIVERIES COMING IN THERE WILL BE DONE
17:40:17 UNDERNEATH THE CANOPY OF THE BUILDING.
17:40:20 NO TRUCKS WILL BE STICKING OUT WITH PUBLIC VIEW AND A
17:40:23 ROLLING DOOR IN FRONT OF IT WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE.
17:40:28 LASTLY AS JAKE MENTION, HOW WE REPURPOSED THE GROUND
17:40:31 FLOOR SPACE AND THE COMMUNITY WILL BE INVITED IN TO THE
17:40:32 SPACE ITSELF.
17:40:35 AS WE CONTINUE TO PROGRAM THAT SPACE.
17:40:38 I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE YOU FOR A WALK AROUND THE BUILDING
17:40:38 NOW.
17:40:42 THIS IS THE NORTH ELEVATION OFF OF KNIGHT'S RUN AVENUE.
17:40:46 THE BUILDING IS 145 FEET AT 12 STORIES.
17:40:49 A GROUND-FLOOR ACTIVATED SPACE, PUBLIC SPACE.
17:40:52 FOUR STORIES OF PARKING.
17:40:56 ONE STORY ABOVE OF AMENITY SPACE WHICH IS POOL.
17:40:58 AND SIX FLOORS OF GUEST ROOMS.
17:41:01 THE MATERIALS WILL BE A LOT OF THE MATERIALS YOU FIND
17:41:03 ALREADY IN HARBOUR ISLAND.
17:41:07 PRECAST PANELS, METAL PANELS, STONE AND A LOT OF GLASS.
17:41:12 BECAUSE TRANSPARENCY AT THIS HO-ZUHARS TELL IS
17:41:14 SOMETHING WE ARE LOOKING FOR BEING CONNECTED WITH THE
17:41:17 COMMUNITY BOTH LIGHT IN AND OUT.
17:41:22 ON THE FRONT, CREATED AN ENTRANCE PORTICO WHICH DEFINES
17:41:25 THE PUBLIC INPUT INTO THE BUILDING ITSELF, DIRECTLY
17:41:27 INTO THE SITE.
17:41:29 AS WE MOVE UP A BIT FROM THE VIEW FROM THE NORTHWEST
17:41:33 CORNER WE WANT TO POINT OUT HOW THE PUBLIC SPACE ON THE
17:41:33 SIDEWALK WORKS.
17:41:36 YOU CAN SEE IT A LITTLE BITTER BEYOND THE WORDS THAT
17:41:37 ARE ON THE SCREEN.
17:41:39 HOWEVER, IT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO DO
17:41:42 WITH THAT, WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS CREATE
17:41:45 OPPORTUNITIES AND PROMOTE UNINTENDED SOCIAL COLLISIONS
17:41:48 THAT HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE OUT WALKING IN THE
17:41:50 NEIGHBORHOOD, AND BEING AN AREA THAT IS WIDE AND AREA
17:41:54 THAT IS WELL LIT, AN AREA THAT HAS A LOT OF SPACE.
17:41:58 WE BELIEVE THAT THAT WILL PROMOTE THAT.
17:42:01 AS WE DRAW CLOSE NEITHER BUILDING LOOKING FROM THE STOP
17:42:05 SIGN AT KNIGHT'S RUN IN SOUTH HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD,
17:42:09 I WANTED TO POINT OUT THE VERTICAL ELEMENT AT THE
17:42:12 CORNER OF THE BUILDING WHICH IS THE ARCHITECTURAL ICON.
17:42:17 WE WANT THAT BE THE BEACON THAT WILL BE RECOGNIZABLE.
17:42:21 AT NIGHT SUBTLELY LIT AND REPRESENTS WHAT IS A LOVELY
17:42:24 ARCHITECTURAL ICON THAT WILL BE RECOGNIZABLE NOR THE
17:42:27 BUILDING AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD ITSELF.
17:42:30 ADDITIONALLY WE ARE ADDING UNIQUE SPACES LIKE THIS ONE
17:42:32 ABOVE THE MAIN ENTRY FROM THE PEDESTRIAN.
17:42:35 AN OUTDOOR CAFE SPACE.
17:42:38 IT WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ANYBODY WILL BE ABLE TO
17:42:41 GO IN THERE AND GET A COOL DRINK AND COCKTAIL AND SIT
17:42:45 OUTSIDE ON THIS BALCONY SPACE AND ENJOY THE ELEMENTS
17:42:48 AND VIEWS IN THIS WONDERFUL NEIGHBORHOOD.
17:42:51 AS WE MOVE AROUND TO THE EAST SIDE ELEVATION, ONE OF
17:42:54 THE THINGS WE REALLY TRIED TO KEY ON WAS A VARIETY OF
17:42:57 DEPTHS ON THE ELEVATION TO CREATE VIRTUAL INTEREST IN
17:42:59 UNIQUE SHADOWS.
17:43:03 WE DID NOT WANT TO HAVE A FLAT BUILDING, BUT ONE THAT
17:43:07 IS REALLY UNIQUE WHAT IS GOING ON HARBOUR ISLAND AT
17:43:08 THIS POINT IN TIME.
17:43:13 CREATED AN ENTRY PORTICO WHERE WE HAVE A MAIN
17:43:14 ENTRANCE.
17:43:20 ABOVE THAT PORTICO, WE WILL COMMIT DOING PUBLIC HA ART
17:43:22 TO SUPPORT THE CITY OF TAMPA PUBLIC ARTS PROGRAM.
17:43:26 AS WE MOVE OUT A LITTLE BIT FROM IT, WE CAN SEE THE
17:43:28 GUEST ENTRY OFF OF KNIGHT'S RUN.
17:43:32 IT GOES INTO AN OPENING THAT IS -- WITH CANOPIES OVER
17:43:35 TOP OF IT WHERE THE VEHICLES GO UNDERNEATH THE BUILDING
17:43:36 ITSELF.
17:43:38 ALSO WE ADDED A NUMBER OF TREES DOWN IN THE PEDESTRIAN
17:43:42 AREA AND AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE BUILDING FOR MORE
17:43:45 SHADED OPPORTUNITIES WHERE PEDESTRIANS ARE GOING.
17:43:47 AS WE CLOSE IN CLOSER ON THAT.
17:43:49 WE CAN SEE WHERE WE COME INTO THE VALET.
17:43:52 THAT AREA OF THE BUILDING IS COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT
17:43:54 WITH GLASS.
17:43:56 IN AND OUT.
17:43:59 SEE IN, SEE OUT WITH IT AT ALL TIMES THAT MAKES IT A
17:44:01 LOT EASIER FOR GUESTS.
17:44:04 BUT TO THE LEFT, YOU CAN SEE UNDERNEATH THE PUBLIC ART
17:44:06 A LARGE CANOPY.
17:44:09 THE CANOPY FOR RIDE SHARES.
17:44:12 WE THOUGHT CIRCULATION ON THE SITE SO PEOPLE CAN WALK
17:44:16 ACROSS THE VALET AREA AND DIRECTLY INTO THEIR RIDE
17:44:19 SHARE WHICH IS ALSO OVER COVER FROM THE ELEMENTS.
17:44:22 AS WE GO TO THE SOUTH ELEVATION, THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE
17:44:25 THE ENTRY INTO THE LOADING DOCK AREA.
17:44:29 AS MENTIONED THE LOADING DOCK -- THE FRONT OF THE
17:44:31 LOADING DOCK IS SUBSTANTIALLY SUCH WAITED UNDERNEATH
17:44:35 THE BUILDING ITSELF AND WE WANTED TO DO THAT TO KEEP
17:44:38 EVERYTHING OUT OF VIEW OF ANY KIND OF DELIVERY
17:44:38 VEHICLES.
17:44:43 ADDITIONALLY, AS YOU CAN DOWN ON THE CORNER DOWN TO
17:44:46 THAT ON THE LEFT, ALL -- ANY VEHICLES COMING IN THERE
17:44:49 WILL DO THE MANUEVERING WITHIN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY OF THE
17:44:51 SITE WITH US AND ADJACENTLY TO THE HARBOUR ISLAND
17:44:54 ATHLETIC CLUB.
17:44:58 ALSO WE WILL HAVE A COMMERCIAL COMPACTOR IN THERE THAT
17:45:03 WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF REQUIRED VISITS OF SOLID
17:45:04 WASTE VEHICLES.
17:45:07 AS WE MOVE TO THE WEST ELEVATION, THIS IS THE ELEVATION
17:45:09 THAT WILL PROBABLY BE MOST USED BY THE RESIDENTIAL
17:45:12 NEIGHBORHOOD.
17:45:17 WE ARE REALLY LOOKING AT HOW WE DO VERTICAL
17:45:21 TRANSPARENCY HERE WITH HORIZONTAL ELEMENTS WITHIN THAT
17:45:24 ITSELF AND REALLY CREATE A NEIGHBORHOOD AND I HAVE BEEN
17:45:26 TOLD I HAVE GOT TO GO FAPS ER.
17:45:28 SO YOU CAN SEE HERE HOW TO WORKS.
17:45:32 THE OTHER THING TOO AS JAKE HAD MENTIONED THE VERTICAL
17:45:34 ELEMENTS WITH THE HIGHEST ELEMENTS FACE THE HIGH
17:45:37 DENSITY HIGH RISE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS WE STEP THE
17:45:39 BUILDING BACK DOWN.
17:45:43 AND HERE IS VIEW OF THAT AS WE WILL SEE FROM THE
17:45:46 STREETSCAPE ITSELF.
17:45:47 OUR POOL AREA.
17:45:50 WE SCREENED THE POOL ON THE SOUTH SIDE TOWARD THE
17:45:53 NEIGHBORHOOD AND CREATED A VISTA FOR LOOKING AT GREAT
17:45:55 SUNSETS.
17:45:56 OUR AMENITIES.
17:46:01 WE WILL DO HIGH-END DESIGN USING OTHER AC HOTELS AS
17:46:03 EXAMPLES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
17:46:06 THIS WILL BE A HIGH -- VERY HIGH-SCALE ELEGANT HOTEL.
17:46:09 NOT MEANT BE TOO BEACH HOTEL.
17:46:12 SOMETHING WE WANT TO DO THAT REALLY ELEVATES THE WHOLE
17:46:13 NEIGHBORHOOD.
17:46:15 YOU CAN SEE AS WE DROPPED THE BUILDING INTO THE
17:46:19 NEIGHBORHOOD ITSELF, THE SCALE WHERE IT IS WITH THE
17:46:20 ADJACENT BUILDINGS.
17:46:22 YOU CAN SEE HOW THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING FACES ON TO
17:46:26 THE EXISTING OFFICE BUILDING ITSELF.
17:46:29 AND GIVES YOU AN IDEA ON THE L-SHAPE OF THE BUILDING
17:46:31 HOW IT STEPS BACK DOWN TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
17:46:34 THE 12 STORIES FACE OUT INTO THE HIGH DENSITY AREA
17:46:38 ITSELF AND THE REST OF THE BUILDING STEPS DOWN AS GOOD
17:46:44 URBAN DESIGN PRINCIPLES DICTATE IN MIXED USE AREAS.
17:46:46 AGAIN FROM THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, THE LOWER
17:46:50 PORTION OF THE PARKING GARAGE STEPS DOWN ALONG THAT
17:46:52 NEIGHBORHOOD ALONG SOUTH HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD.
17:46:55 AND THEN FINALLY, HOW THE BUILDING -- THE SCALE OF IT
17:46:59 AND THE MASSING COMPARES TO THE BUILDINGS' ADJACENT TO
17:47:02 IT ON KNIGHT'S RUN ITSELF.
17:47:04 AS PART OF THE MIXED USE AREA.
17:47:07 IN BUILDING AND MASSIVE SCALE STEPS BACK INTO THE
17:47:10 RESIDENTIAL AREA AND WE ARE TRYING HARD IN TERMS OF
17:47:12 DESIGNING THIS IN A MEANS OF WHICH WE WOULD REALLY
17:47:13 RESPECT THAT.
17:47:18 AND FINALLY, AS YOU CAN SEE, WE CREATED THAT BEACON
17:47:23 WHICH WE THINK IS ELEGANT AND AN IMPORTANT PROJECT.
17:47:26 BECAUSE THIS IS MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND LIVE ON HARBOUR
17:47:26 ISLAND.
17:47:30 SO WE ARE VERY DEDICATED OUR ENTIRE TEAM AND OUR DESIGN
17:47:34 TEAM TO DESIGN AN ICONIC, ELEGANT SUSTAINABLE BUILDING
17:47:38 THAT WILL ENHANCE THE URBAN EXPERIENCE ON THE ISLAND.
17:47:39 THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
17:47:43 THANK YOU.
17:47:45 >> GOOD EVENING, ANDY COHEN.
17:47:47 COHEN AND COMPANY.
17:47:48 I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
17:47:51 WE PREPARED THE TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS FOR THE STUDY
17:47:53 CONSISTENT WITH ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CITY OF
17:47:57 TAMPA AND THOROUGHLY APPROVED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY
17:47:58 OF TAMPA TRANSPORTATION STAFF.
17:48:00 THE IMPORTANT FEATURE OUT YOU HAVE THIS PARTICULAR
17:48:04 TRAFFIC STUDY THIS HOTEL DID NOT CHANGE A SINGLE LEVEL
17:48:07 OF SERVICE OF ANY OF THE INTERSECTIONS WE REVIEWED.
17:48:10 AT HARBOUR ISLAND AND KNIGHT'S RUN.
17:48:13 LEVEL SERVICE B IN THE MORNING AND LEVEL B WITH THE
17:48:14 HOTEL ADDED.
17:48:17 IN THE AFTERNOON LEVEL OF SERVICE C IN THE MORNING AND
17:48:22 C IN THE AFTERNOON WITH THE HOTEL ADDS $IN 2024.
17:48:26 BOTH THE DRIVEWAYS SHADE WITH THE ATHLETIC OPERATE
17:48:29 LEVEL OF SERVICE A TODAY AND IN THE FUTURE WITH OR
17:48:30 WITHOUT THIS PROJECT.
17:48:32 THIS PROJECT DOES NOT HAVE A SIGNIFICANT TRANSPORTATION
17:48:33 IMPACT.
17:48:36 THAT DOES NOT SAY THAT HARBOUR ISLAND DOESN'T HAVE AND
17:48:39 SUFFER FROM CONGESTION OF TRAFFIC ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
17:48:42 THE BRIDGE WITH THE CONVENTION CENTER AND ARENA AS
17:48:45 THEIR SPECIAL EVENT AND WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT LATER.
17:48:47 THANK YOU.
17:48:50 >> THANK YOU, JAKE CREMER, AGAIN.
17:48:51 CAN WE GO BACK TO THE PRESENTATION?
17:48:54 COUNCIL, I WILL JUST LEAVE WITH YOU PARTING THOUGHTS.
17:48:56 YOU KNOW, AGAIN, WE WORKED REALLY HARD.
17:48:59 WE HAD A NUMBER OF COMMUNITY MEETINGS.
17:49:00 WE HAD INDIVIDUAL MEETINGS.
17:49:03 WE REALLY TALKED ACROSS THE COMMUNITY.
17:49:06 THIS CHART SHOWS YOU, THIS IS WHAT YOU DEL US EVERY
17:49:07 TIME WE COME TO YOU.
17:49:11 THIS IS WHY WE TOOK CONTINUANCE, TOOK A PAUSE.
17:49:15 REDESIGNED THE ENTIRE PROJECT AND BROUGHT SOMETHING TO
17:49:17 YOU THAT WE HOPE YOU WILL BE PROUD OF.
17:49:19 WITH THAT, ANSWER THE QUESTIONS NOW AND LATER OPINION.
17:49:25 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE PETITIONER?
17:49:27 >> THANK YOU.
17:49:30 >>JOSEPH CITRO: EXCUSE ME, MR. CREMER.
17:49:35 >>LYNN HURTAK: CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE -- ONE OF THE
17:49:42 SLIDES THAT SHOWS THE INGRESS-EGRESS.
17:49:45 I AM JUST TRYING -- BECAUSE -- YOUR TRAFFIC PERSON
17:49:48 MENTIONED THAT IT WAS A SHARED DRIVEWAY WITH THE
17:49:52 ATHLETIC CLUB.
17:49:56 I -- I DON'T KNOW WHAT -- I GUESS I DON'T NO KNOW WHAT
17:49:57 I MEANS.
17:50:00 I DROVE AROUND IN THAT AREA, LIKE I SAID, TODAY.
17:50:02 >> I WILL LET RANDY EXPLAIN.
17:50:03 >> YES, MA'AM.
17:50:07 IF WE CAN HAVE THE EXHIBIT UP.
17:50:10 THE HARBOUR ISLAND DRIVEWAY, WHICH IS THE ONE ON THE
17:50:14 LOWER LEFT OF THE SCREEN, IS A DRIVEWAY THAT SERVICES
17:50:17 THE HARBOUR ISLAND ATHLETIC CLUB AND BANK PROPERTY AS
17:50:21 IT EXISTS TODAY WHICH WILL BE THE HOTEL IN THE FUTURE.
17:50:24 AN EASEMENT BETWEEN THOSE TWO PARTIES ALLOWING BOTH OF
17:50:25 THEM TO USE THAT DRIVEWAY.
17:50:29 THE SAME IS TRUE FOR THE DRIVEWAY IN THE UPPER
17:50:31 RIGHT-HAND CORNER OF THE SITE WHICH IS A SHARED
17:50:33 DRIVEWAY BETWEEN THOSE TWO.
17:50:34 THEY EXIST TODAY.
17:50:35 WE WILL NOT CHANGE THEM.
17:50:38 HE WILL BE USED BY EVERYONE.
17:50:38 >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
17:50:40 THAT CLARIFIES IT.
17:50:42 >> THANK YOU.
17:50:45 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MR. GUDES.
17:50:46 COUNCILMAN GUDES.
17:50:49 >>ORLANDO GUDES: HOW MANY MEETINGS WERE HELD FOR THIS
17:50:50 PROJECT?
17:50:53 >> WE WILL ONE VIRTUAL AND ONE IN PERSON.
17:50:57 WE HELD INDIVIDUAL MEETINGS WITH A TASK FORCE THAT
17:50:59 CONSISTED TO THE BOARD OF THE SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD
17:51:00 ASSOCIATION.
17:51:04 WE ALSO GAVE A PRESENTATION TO THE HIXSA BOARD THE
17:51:09 MASTER FACILITIES ASSOCIATION FOR THE ISLAND.
17:51:13 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. GUDES AND COUNCIL, JUST A
17:51:16 REMINDER NO REQUIREMENT IN THE CODE WITH REGARDS TO THE
17:51:19 COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND BASICALLY YOU WILL HAVE TO BASE
17:51:22 YOUR EVIDENCE -- EXCUSE ME YOUR DECISION ON THE
17:51:25 COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE AT THE HEARINGS AND THE
17:51:28 CRITERIA OF THE NUMBER OF MEETINGS WOULD NOT BE
17:51:30 RELEVANT FOR THAT.
17:51:32 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, MR. SHELBY.
17:51:34 I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMUNITY WAS INVOLVED
17:51:36 IN THE PROCESS.
17:51:39 >> IN YOUR BINDER, THE LAST ITEM HAS A SUMMARY OF THOSE
17:51:42 COMMUNITY MEETING, WHAT HAPPENED, THE COMMENTS WE
17:51:44 RECEIVED, THE COMMUNICATIONS THAT WENT OUT.
17:51:48 THAT IS THERE FOR YOU TO LOOK AT.
17:51:50 >>JOSEPH CITRO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
17:51:50 [INAUDIBLE]
17:51:56 WHEN WAS HARBOUR ISLAND DEVELOPED?
17:51:58 >> WHEN WAS HARBOUR ISLAND DEVELOPED?
17:52:01 I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE PLANNER COME UP AND ANSWER THE
17:52:03 QUESTION ON THE PLANNING SIDE.
17:52:05 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THE NEXT PART OF THE QUESTION, WHEN
17:52:07 THE DRI WAS PUT IN.
17:52:09 TWO THINGS.
17:52:12 I NEED CLARITY TO SEE IF I WAS HERE.
17:52:17 >> HELLO, CYNTHIA SPIDEL, STEARNS, WEAVER AND I HAVE
17:52:18 BEEN WORN.
17:52:22 THE ORIGINAL DRI WAS APPROVED FEBRUARY -- 40 YEARS AGO.
17:52:25 TURNED 40 YEARS AGO FEBRUARY 2022.
17:52:27 I GUESS THAT IS 1982.
17:52:33 >> THANK YOU FOR CALLING ME 40 YEARS OLD.
17:52:37 I NEED A DATE 1970 --
17:52:39 >> IT STARTED IN 1982.
17:52:43 AND THERE IS -- IN THE PLANNING REPORT IS IN YOUR
17:52:47 BINDER, HISTORICAL AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS THAT CAN SHOW YOU
17:52:51 THE EVOLUTION OF HARBOUR ISLAND OVER THAT 40-YEAR
17:52:52 PERIOD.
17:52:54 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: IF WE FIND IT HERE, WE WILL BE HERE
17:53:00 FOR TWO MONTHS BECAUSE A BIG FOLDER YOU GAVE IT.
17:53:07 >> POLICE SPIDELL'S REPORT IS ITEM L AS IN LARRY, IN
17:53:13 YOUR BINDER.
17:53:14 >> EXHIBIT A.
17:53:16 >>JOSEPH CITRO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
17:53:18 >>LYNN HURTAK: YOU DIDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION WHEN
17:53:22 HARBOUR ISLAND WAS CREATED.
17:53:26 >> SEDON ISLAND AND DRI WAS APPROVED AND THEN BECAME
17:53:28 HARBOUR ISLAND.
17:53:31 A DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL IMPACT GENERALLY THE
17:53:32 BUILD-OUTS ARE 30 YEARS.
17:53:34 YOU START OUT.
17:53:38 THAT IS THE REASON WE SEE IT EVOLVE SIGNIFICANTLY OVER
17:53:41 TIME BECAUSE EXTREMELY LARGE DEVELOPMENTS.
17:53:42 178 ACRES.
17:53:45 DOES NOT DEVELOP OVERNIGHT AND IT IS A PROCESS.
17:53:48 THAT IS WHY THE DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL IMPACT REVIEW
17:53:52 PROCESS WAS INITIALLY ADOPTED BY THE STATE SO THAT YOU
17:53:55 WOULD HAVE THIS REGIONAL COORDINATION FOR THE REGIONAL
17:53:58 IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH IT.
17:54:03 AND I BELIEVE THE -- WERE YOU THE ORIGINAL PLANNER ON
17:54:04 IT?
17:54:09 THE ORIGINAL PLANNER IS HERE.
17:54:11 I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY
17:54:14 HAVE.
17:54:20 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
17:54:26 ALL RIGHT, ARE WE TAKING PUBLIC COMMENT AT THIS TIME?
17:54:28 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, THAT -- BECAUSE WE
17:54:32 OPENED THE TWO ITEMS TOGETHER, THERE ARE SPEAKERS --
17:54:35 THERE ARE SPEAKS FOR ITEMS -- THERE ARE -- SPEAKS
17:54:38 PERHAPS FOR THIS AND ALSO FOR ITEM NUMBER 3.
17:54:42 BUT WE WILL BE COMBINING THOSE TWO.
17:54:45 >>JOSEPH CITRO: SHALL WE HEAR THE SPEAKERS FOR THE
17:54:54 FIRST ITEM FIRST FOR COMBINE BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER?
17:54:56 >> MR. CHAIR, JAKE CREMER, THE APPLICANT.
17:55:03 I WOULD SUGGEST WE HEAR BOTH BECAUSE COMBINE BECAUSE IT
17:55:06 WILL BE CONFUSING FOR THE PUBLIC.
17:55:10 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY, BUT WE ONLY
17:55:11 HEARD ONE SIDE NUMBER 2.
17:55:15 HOW CAN WE HEAR 3 WITHOUT HEARING 2.
17:55:20 WE ONLY HEARD TESTIMONY ON ITEM NUMBER 2, AM I CORRECT?
17:55:22 I AM NOT CHALLENGING ANYTHING.
17:55:23 >> JAKE CREMER AGAIN.
17:55:25 I THOUGHT THE INTENT WHEN WE OPENED THE HEARING WE
17:55:27 OPENED IT FOR BOTH ITEMS.
17:55:35 AND THAT WE GAVE OUR PRESENTATION FOR BOTH ITEMS JUST
17:55:41 NOW MY SUGGESTION OF MR. SHELBY'S OPINION AND MISS
17:55:45 JOHNSON-VELEZ, THAT WE WILL HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON BOTH
17:55:48 AND VOTE ON THEM SEPARATELY.
17:55:50 MISS MANDELL.
17:55:54 >> GOOD EVENING, JULIA MANDELL WITH THE LAW FIRM OF GRAY
17:55:58 ROBINSON, 401 EAST JACKSON STREET.
17:56:01 I DO HAVE A SPEAKER WAIVER FORM.
17:56:07 SOME OF THE FOLKS ON THE SPEAKER WAIVER FORM -- I SEE A
17:56:10 COUPLE OF THEM DOWNSTAIRS BECAUSE OF SPACE.
17:56:15 PERHAPS WE CAN LET THEM IN AND GET THAT PROCEDURALLY
17:56:19 TAKEN CARE OF AND THEY CAN FIND A COMFORTABLE LOCATION
17:56:22 FOR THEM TO SIT AGAIN.
17:56:28 >>MARTIN SHELBY: PATTY KAMPSEN.
17:56:28 [INAUDIBLE]
17:56:29 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU.
17:56:37 PAMELA ELOPULOS.
17:56:41 ARE YOU ALSO REGISTERED TO SPEAK?
17:56:42 [INAUDIBLE]
17:56:44 >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOU ARE WAITING THAT ONE.
17:56:48 >>JOSEPH CITRO: NOTED, MR. SHELBY.
17:56:51 >>MARTIN SHELBY: PAMELA LOWE.
17:56:52 >> YES, RIGHT HERE, SIR.
17:56:59 >>MARTIN SHELBY: BRENDA SCHWARZKOPF.
17:57:03 IS BOB SMITH HERE AND BARB SMITH.
17:57:07 I COUNT ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, SIX NAMES.
17:57:09 THAT'S CORRECT?
17:57:11 >> THAT'S CORRECT.
17:57:13 >>MARTIN SHELBY: SIX ADDITIONAL MINUTES.
17:57:21 >> I WOULD ASSUME IF I NEED ADDITIONAL TIME WILL NOT BE
17:57:25 OBJECTIONABLE AND I WANT TO GIVE AS MUCH --
17:57:27 >>JOSEPH CITRO: HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL TIME ARE YOU
17:57:28 ASKING FOR?
17:57:30 >> MAYBE UP TO TEN MINUTES FOR MY PRESENTATION.
17:57:32 IF I NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE, I WILL ASK.
17:57:34 BUT I THINK THAT SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT.
17:57:37 OFF TREMENDOUS NUMBER OF OTHER SPEAKERS HERE AND I WANT
17:57:41 TO BE COURTEOUS TO EVERYBODY.
17:57:43 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: HERE AGAIN, I THOUGHT WE SET THAT
17:57:45 PARAMETER IN THE BEGINNING.
17:57:46 >> VERY GOOD.
17:57:46 THANK YOU.
17:57:50 I'M HERE ON BEHALF -- FOR THE RECORD, OF THE SOUTH
17:57:54 NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION OF HARBOUR ISLAND, THAT AN
17:57:56 AREA THAT MR. CREMER TALKED ABOUT.
17:57:58 AND I WILL GET INTO THAT FURTHER.
17:58:03 AND AS -- AS WE INDICATED, AND I HAVE GIVEN YOU A
17:58:07 MEMORANDUM SETTING FORTH THE ANALYSIS AS WELL AS I GAVE
17:58:10 YOU ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE THROUGH THAT THAT THE SOUTH
17:58:20 NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IS IN TONKS THIS REZONING.
17:58:22 I AM STARTING BY SHOWING YOU --
17:58:26 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MISS MANDELL, ONE SECOND.
17:58:42 CAN WE HAVE THE ELMO UP, PLEASE.
17:58:44 >> SORRY, I AM OLD SCHOOL.
17:58:52 I USE THE ELMO OR WHATEVER WE ARE CALLING IT NOWADAYS
17:58:53 THANK YOU.
17:59:02 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
17:59:03 >> VERY GOOD.
17:59:05 AGAIN, YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR FROM A LOT OF FOLKS
17:59:06 TONIGHT.
17:59:09 SOME OF THEM ARE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AREA.
17:59:11 SOME OF THEM ARE NOT, BUT I THINK WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO
17:59:18 HEAR IS A LOT OF FRUSTRATION AND CONCERN OVER THIS
17:59:21 PARTICULAR REZONING AND GENERALLY WHAT IS OCCURRING ON
17:59:24 HARBOUR ISLAND.
17:59:27 AS IT RELATES TO THE SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD AND THIS
17:59:30 PROJECT SPECIFICALLY, THE RED LINE YOU SEE HERE IS THE
17:59:32 DIVIDING LINE BETWEEN THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH.
17:59:36 AND EVERYTHING TO THE SOUTH -- THE SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD
17:59:41 ASSOCIATION, IT CONSISTS OF A VARIETY OF COMMUNITY WITH
17:59:43 APPROXIMATELY 657 HOMES.
17:59:45 THEY ARE A MIXED TYPE.
17:59:46 THEY ARE SINGLE-FAMILY.
17:59:47 THEY ARE GARDEN HOMES.
17:59:51 THEY ARE CONDOMINIUMS AND THEY ARE TOWN HOUSES AND
17:59:52 APPROXIMATELY 3,000 RESIDENTS.
17:59:56 HARBOUR ISLAND IS A PRETTY UNIQUE AREA IN THE CITY OF
17:59:56 TAMPA.
17:59:57 IT IS AN ISLAND.
18:00:03 AND IT ONLY HAS TWO ENTRY POINTS ON AND OFF THE ISLAND.
18:00:06 ONE IS AT BENEFICIAL AND THE OTHER IS AT HARBOUR ISLAND
18:00:07 BOULEVARD.
18:00:10 THAT IS THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET OFF THE ISLAND AND ON
18:00:11 TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
18:00:14 ADDITIONALLY, THE SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AS
18:00:17 HAVE BEEN MENTIONED IS A GATED AREA.
18:00:20 THERE IS ONLY TWO ENTRY POINT INTO THE SOUTH
18:00:22 NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AREA.
18:00:28 THAT IS AT SOUTH HARBOUR ISLAND AND AT BENEFICIAL.
18:00:30 THAT IS WHAT DOES MAKE UNIQUE.
18:00:33 THIS IS, IN ESSENCE, THE REZONING APPLICATION IN THE
18:00:37 AREA THE REZONING, THE ESSENCE THE GATEWAY INTO ONE OF
18:00:39 THE ENTRY POINTS INTO THE SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD
18:00:41 ASSOCIATION.
18:00:45 AS IT STANDS TODAY, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A
18:00:46 MIXED USE COMMUNITY.
18:00:51 I UNDERSTAND IT HAS A VERY SIGNIFICANT LAND USE
18:00:51 CLASSIFICATION.
18:00:54 AS IT STANDS TODAY AND IT IS DEVELOPED TODAY, I WANT TO
18:00:57 SHOW PICTURES WHAT THE GATES LOOK LIKE TODAY BECAUSE
18:00:59 INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT IN YOUR ANALYSIS WHETHER OR NOT
18:01:04 THIS PROJECT IS COMPATIBLE.
18:01:08 THIS IS THE ENTRY POINT AT BENEFICIAL DRIVE.
18:01:15 AS YOU CAN SEE, AS YOU GO INTO THE ENTRY POINT ON THE
18:01:18 SOUTH SIDE OF KNIGHT'S RUN, YOU GOT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE
18:01:21 45, 50 FEET HEIGHT.
18:01:23 YOU HAVE SOME TOWN HOUSES OVER HERE.
18:01:26 BUT OFF VISTA THAT YOU HAVE AS YOU GO IN TO THE GATED
18:01:31 AREA INTO THE COMMUNITY.
18:01:34 THIS IS THE SOUTHGATE -- SORRY, THIS IS THE HARBOUR
18:01:35 ISLAND GATE.
18:01:38 THIS IS THE VIEW AS YOU GO INTO THIS -- THE HARBOUR
18:01:40 ISLAND GATE.
18:01:42 THIS IS A RETENTION POND.
18:01:43 THERE IS NO DEVELOPMENT THERE.
18:01:46 THIS IS AS YOU ARE GOING IN.
18:01:49 AND THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS AS YOU ARE DRIVING IN TO THE
18:01:52 HARBOR -- TO THE SOUTH HARBOUR ISLAND GATE.
18:01:54 WHAT YOU ARE SEEING RIGHT NOW.
18:01:56 WHAT YOU ARE SEEING RIGHT NOW IS THE EXISTING STRUCTURE
18:01:58 WHICH IS ONE-STORY BUILDING.
18:02:04 AND THEN YOU SEE A NUMBER OF HIGHER, DENSER,
18:02:07 HIGHER-SCALED TOWERS.
18:02:09 THAT IS WHAT THE ISSUE IS.
18:02:16 THAT IS WHAT THE ISSUE IS FOR THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
18:02:19 AS YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE, THIS IS A VIEW LOOKING
18:02:24 TOWARD THE WEST -- I AM SORRY, TOWARD THE EAST LOOKING
18:02:28 TOWARD THE EAST AT SOUTH HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD AND
18:02:30 KNIGHT'S RUN.
18:02:33 A VERY CLEAR LINE OF DELINEATION.
18:02:37 YOU HAVE ON THE NORTH SIDE VERY HIGH DENSITY,
18:02:40 HIGH-SCALE, HIGH-INTENSITY USES.
18:02:44 THAT IS HOW IT WAS PLANNED AND HOW IT IS DEVELOPED.
18:02:47 AS YOU MOVE ON THE OTHER SIDE, AS YOU MOVE CLOSER TO
18:02:50 THE RESIDENTIAL PORTION, THE LOW DENSITY AND THE MID
18:02:53 DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AREA, THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ON
18:02:56 THAT SIDE IS NOT AS DENSE.
18:02:57 IT IS NOT AS INTENSE.
18:02:59 IT IS NOT AS TALL.
18:03:04 THE SCALE IS LESS.
18:03:09 THIS IS FROM BENEFICIAL LOOKING THE OTHER DIRECTION
18:03:11 TOWARD HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD.
18:03:14 YOU CAN SEE, THERE IS SOME -- SOME TALLER STRUCTURES,
18:03:17 SOME -- LITTLE BIT HIGHER DENSITY, BUT A CLEAR
18:03:22 DELINEATION BETWEEN THESE TWO PARTICULAR USES AND THIS
18:03:25 TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ON EACH SIDE OF KNIGHT'S
18:03:28 RUN BOULEVARD.
18:03:30 AGAIN, THIS -- THIS REALLY IS THE CONCERN OF THE
18:03:32 RESIDENTS.
18:03:34 THEY HAVE CONCERNS OVER TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC.
18:03:37 THAT I THINK IS SHARED UPON EVERYBODY ON HARBOUR
18:03:38 ISLAND.
18:03:40 GETTING ON AND OFF HARBOUR ISLAND IS INCREDIBLY
18:03:43 COMPLICATED ESPECIALLY DURING SPECIAL EVENTS.
18:03:46 ESPECIALLY DURING LIGHTNING GAMES AND THESE KIND OF
18:03:46 THINGS.
18:03:49 THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT ALTHOUGH YOU CAN LOOK AT THIS
18:03:54 FROM AN ITE PERSPECTIVE AND A TRANSPORTATION
18:03:57 PERSPECTIVE, THAT IT MAY NOT INCREASE ACTUAL NUMBER OF
18:03:58 TRIPS.
18:03:59 THERE IS GOING TO BE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC.
18:04:01 THERE IS GOING TO BE ADDITIONAL PRESSURES.
18:04:04 THERE ARE GOING TO BE ADDITIONAL CONGESTION.
18:04:10 ADDITIONALLY, THE DRIVEWAY.
18:04:12 I DON'T HAVE THE BEST PICTURE OF IT AND YOU SEE IT ON
18:04:15 SOME OF THE OTHER SLIDES IS RIGHT AT THE FRONT OF THE
18:04:15 GATE.
18:04:18 IT IS RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING POINT WHERE YOU HAVE
18:04:20 TRAFFIC THAT IS GOING IN AND OUT AS THEY WAIT TO GET IN
18:04:24 AND OUT OF THE GATE, AS THEY WAIT TO -- TO QUEUE.
18:04:28 THIS IS ALSO THE AREA WHERE THERE IS A BUS STOP FOR --
18:04:32 FOR THE SCHOOLS AS THEY GO TO WHATEVER THE SCHOOLS ARE
18:04:33 REZONED FOR.
18:04:38 PLANT AND WILSON AND SOME OF THE OTHER SCHOOLS.
18:04:41 AGAIN, THIS IS THE CONCERN OF THE RESIDENTS.
18:04:44 THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THIS MASS AND SCALE IS
18:04:48 GOING TO IMPACT THEIR RESIDENTIAL USES.
18:04:49 THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT TRAFFIC.
18:04:52 THEY ARE CONCERNS ABOUT HOW THIS IS GOING TO AFFECT
18:04:54 THEIR KIDS GETTING ON THE BUS.
18:04:56 AND THEY ARE GOING TO -- AND THEY ARE CONCERNS
18:04:59 GENERALLY ABOUT THE CHANGE THAT CAN HAPPEN AS YOU GET
18:05:04 ON THE OTHER SIDE OF KNIGHT'S RUN BOULEVARD.
18:05:06 I THINK IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING TO LOOK AT THE
18:05:09 PRESENTATION THAT WAS GIVEN, BECAUSE I THINK IF YOU
18:05:12 LOOK AT -- WHEN THEY SHOWED HOW THAT LOOKS IN
18:05:16 COMPARISON TO -- YOU KNOW, THEY DID AN IMAGINE OF WHAT
18:05:19 THIS WILL LOOK LIKE, YOU CAN EVEN SEE IN THAT PICTURE,
18:05:23 IT IS THE TALLEST -- IT WOULD BE THE TALLEST STRUCTURE
18:05:26 ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF KNIGHT'S RUN.
18:05:28 IT WOULD START POTENTIALLY A TREND.
18:05:32 IT WILL START POTENTIALLY HOW YOU MOVE DEVELOPMENT ON
18:05:35 THE OTHER SIDE OF KNIGHT'S RUN AND WHAT THAT WILL LOOK
18:05:37 LIKE AND FEEL LIKE.
18:05:39 THAT IS SOMETHING OFF THIS THE TRITE CONSIDER AS PART
18:05:41 OF YOUR ANALYSIS.
18:05:45 I DID NOTE THAT THEY -- THAT THERE IS NOW NO LONGER ANY
18:05:47 WAIVERS THAT ARE REQUIRED.
18:05:49 I UNDERSTOOD FROM THE STAFF REPORT AND MAYBE SOMEBODY
18:05:52 CAN CLARIFY THIS AFTERWARDS THAT THERE WAS GOING BE A
18:05:54 WAIVER THAT WAS REQUIRED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
18:05:58 READING, BUT I CERTAINLY APPLAUD THEM FROM TRYING TO
18:06:00 GET A DEVELOPMENT THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY WAIVERS.
18:06:03 THAT IS CERTAINLY THE THING TO TRY TO ACCOMPLISH AS
18:06:05 THEY ARE GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS.
18:06:09 THAT DOES NOT CHANGE YOUR ANALYSIS.
18:06:13 UNDER THE PD CRITERIA OFF THIS IN YOUR CODE, YOU HAVE
18:06:16 THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO REVIEW WHETHER OR NOT A
18:06:18 PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT AS IT COMES FORWARD AS A PLANNED
18:06:21 DEVELOPMENT IS COMPATIBLE.
18:06:23 HEIGHT AND SCALE COMPATIBLE.
18:06:29 IS IT GOING TO CAUSE UNDO PRESSURES ON THE BUILT
18:06:30 ENVIRONMENT.
18:06:35 IS IT GOING TO CREATE TRANSPORTATION IMPACTS.
18:06:37 YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR FROM A LOT OF MEMBERS OF THE
18:06:40 COMMUNITY WHAT THEIR DAY-TO-DAY LIVES ARE AS THEY DRIVE
18:06:42 ON AND OFF THE ISLANDS.
18:06:43 THEIR CONCERNS AND THEIR ISSUES.
18:06:47 IF IT IS ANY OF THAT EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY THAT COMES
18:06:47 TO YOU.
18:06:51 IF IT IS FACTUALLY BASED.
18:06:52 COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
18:06:56 YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REVIEW THE COMPETENT AND
18:07:02 SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IF THE PD CRITERIA HAS BEEN MET.
18:07:04 I DID POINT OUT THE CRITERIA.
18:07:06 I HIGHLIGHTED THE PORTION THAT YOU CAN CONSIDER AS PART
18:07:07 OF YOUR ANALYSIS.
18:07:11 AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK AT THOSE CRITERIA AND
18:07:14 DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THOSE CRITERIA HAVE BEEN MET.
18:07:17 THE STAFF HAS FOUND IT CONSISTENT.
18:07:22 BUT YOUR ROLE IS TO DETERMINE IF CRITERIA HAS BEEN MET
18:07:25 AND YOUR ROLE IS TO LOOK AT ALL THE EVIDENCE THAT COMES
18:07:27 INTO THE RECORD AND MAKE DECISION.
18:07:30 IS THIS THE RIGHT DEVELOPMENT IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE
18:07:30 RIGHT TIME.
18:07:32 THAT IS PART OF YOUR ANALYSIS.
18:07:35 AND IT IS PART OF WHAT YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER IN
18:07:38 LISTENING TO THE TESTIMONY AND EVIDENCE AS PART OF THIS
18:07:39 RECORD.
18:07:42 AND MAKING YOUR ULTIMATE DECISION.
18:07:45 I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ON THIS.
18:07:48 I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO HEAR FROM THE COMMUNITY AS
18:07:49 TO WHAT THEY THINK.
18:07:52 FIVE A COUPLE OF EXTRA MINUTES -- IF I CAN GET A COUPLE
18:07:56 OF EXTRA MINUTES TO WRAP UP AT THE END, I APPRECIATE
18:07:57 IT.
18:07:59 >>JOSEPH CITRO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
18:08:01 >>LYNN HURTAK: WHAT IS THE TALLEST BUILDING ON THE
18:08:04 SOUTH SIDE OF THE ISLAND?
18:08:05 >> I BELIEVE IT IS EIGHT STORIES.
18:08:08 I DON'T KNOW --
18:08:10 >>LYNN HURTAK: THE STORIES IS --
18:08:11 >> SEVEN.
18:08:13 >> I APOLOGIZE.
18:08:18 >>JOSEPH CITRO: PLEASE.
18:08:20 ARE YOU FINISHED?
18:08:21 COUNCILMAN VIERA.
18:08:22 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU.
18:08:27 NOT TO MISS MANDELL, MORE SO FOR STAFF, FOR THE --
18:08:31 WHETHER IT IS MISS JOHNSON-VELEZ, MISS WELLS OR MR.
18:08:32 SHELBY.
18:08:34 FOR PURPOSES OF COUNCIL.
18:08:37 COULD YOU ALL CLARIFY WHEN IT COMES TO THE PUBLIC --
18:08:40 AND I KNOW WE HAVE GONE OVER THIS BEFORE, BUT WHAT
18:08:44 CONSTITUTES COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE FROM MEMBERS
18:08:45 OF THE PUBLIC.
18:08:49 DO THEY NEED TO BE QUALIFIED AS EXPERTS AS SUCH?
18:08:54 OR DAY-TO-DAY EXPERIENCES OF PEOPLE -- BECAUSE, YOU
18:08:56 KNOW, I WANT US TO KNOW -- BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE
18:09:00 A LOT OF PUBLIC COMMENT THAT WILL BE VERY PASSIONATE
18:09:03 AND WITHOUT A DOUBT, WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE
18:09:06 REPLACEMENT OF THAT SMALL BANK WITH THIS BIG HOTEL,
18:09:10 THAT IS A BIG CHANGE, BUT I WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT IS
18:09:13 THAT WHICH WE CAN -- FOR ALL OF OUR SAYING THAT WE CAN
18:09:16 RELY UPON IN MAKING A DETERMINATION ON THIS AS IT
18:09:19 PERTAINS TO THE PUBLIC COMMENT.
18:09:23 >>CATE WELLS: CATE WELLS, CHIEF ASSISTANT SENIOR
18:09:24 ATTORNEY FOR THE RECORD.
18:09:29 I WOULD GENERALLY AGREE OF HOW MISS MANDELL PRESENTED
18:09:31 THE TESTIMONY THAT YOU CAN HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC THAT
18:09:34 WILL BE CONSIDERED COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
18:09:37 WHEN THEY ARE SPEAKING TO THEIR EXPERIENCES AND HOW IT
18:09:40 IMPACTS THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE, WHAT THEY OTHERED AND
18:09:43 THE DEVELOPMENT OVER TIME, THE COURTS HAVE FOUND THAT
18:09:46 TO BE COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
18:09:49 OF COURSE AS YOU HEAR FROM THE DIFFERENT MEMBERS OF THE
18:09:54 PUBLIC, YOU KNOW, ASK YOURSELF, ARE THEY SPEAKING TO
18:09:58 THE CRITERIA THAT IS APPLICABLE UNDER A PD REZONING.
18:10:01 BECAUSE THAT IS THE STANDARD OF REVIEW FOR THE CITY
18:10:02 COUNCIL.
18:10:05 SO THEY MUST SPEAK FOR IT TO BE COMPETENT AND
18:10:06 SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
18:10:10 THEY MUST BE SPEAKING TO THE CRITERIA IN THE CODE AS IT
18:10:13 RELATES TO AN APPROVAL OR A DENIAL OF THIS APPLICATION.
18:10:14 >>LUIS VIERA: THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT.
18:10:16 THANK YOU, MA'AM.
18:10:17 APPRECIATE IT.
18:10:19 >>JOSEPH CITRO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
18:10:22 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MISS MANDELL, YOU MENTIONED THE
18:10:25 ROAD, KNIGHT'S RUN AVENUE TO THE SOUTH.
18:10:31 IS THERE ANY BUILDINGS AT ALL, PD COMMERCIAL STRUCTURE
18:10:35 OTHER THAN THE -- I WOULD IMAGINE THAT SEVEN-STORY
18:10:37 BUILDING IS RESIDENTIAL OPINION.
18:10:38 >> THAT'S CORRECT.
18:10:41 EVERYTHING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GATE, AS IT WERE,
18:10:42 WAS RESIDENTIAL.
18:10:44 THE ONLY TWO COMMERCIAL -- THE ONLY TWO COMMERCIALLY
18:10:47 ZONED AT THIS TIME AREAS, ONE IS THE HARBOUR ISLAND
18:10:52 ATHLETIC CLUB WHICH IS A PRIVATE RECREATIONAL USE.
18:10:55 SO THAT IS ONLY ALLOWED FOR MEMBERS WHO ARE A PART OF
18:10:56 THAT COMMUNITY.
18:10:59 AND THEN THE FORMER BANK BUILDING THAT IS NOW A
18:11:00 PROFESSIONAL OFFICE.
18:11:04 THAT WAS REZONED IN 2016, IF I AM RECALLING CORRECTLY,
18:11:06 TO BECOME A PROFESSIONAL OFFICE.
18:11:10 IT WAS A BANK PRIOR TO THAT.
18:11:11 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: ALL RIGHT.
18:11:16 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
18:11:19 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I CAN FOLLOW UP ON THE CRITERIA THAT
18:11:21 MISS WELLS MENTIONED.
18:11:25 UNLESS THEY ARE AN EXPERT, AND THEIR OPINION IS NOT
18:11:28 NECESSARILY -- NOT COMPREHENSIVE TENT AND SUBSTANTIAL
18:11:30 EVIDENCE, BUT THE COUNCIL, I WOULD DIRECT YOUR
18:11:34 ATTENTION TO THE CRITERIA AS IT HAS BEEN MENTIONED IN
18:11:37 THE STAFF REPORTS AND APPLY THE FACTS THAT YOU HEAR
18:11:40 FACTUALLY WHAT SUPPORTS THEIR OPINION IS THE COMPETENT
18:11:44 SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE BUT THE OPINIONS UNLESS THEY ARE
18:11:48 EXPERTS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AT THE TENT AND SUBSTANTIAL
18:11:48 EVIDENCE.
18:11:50 MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO HAVE THE CRY TERRY I CAN'T
18:11:54 HAVE THE PD IN FRONT OF YOU AND IF THERE ARE FACTS THAT
18:11:59 ASSOCIATE TO THAT CRITERIA, YOU CAN WAIVE THOSE AND
18:12:01 DETERMINE WHETHER THAT MEETS THE COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL
18:12:04 EVIDENCE, THE BURDEN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO BASE YOUR
18:12:06 DECISION ON.
18:12:10 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MISS MANDELL, TO FOLLOW UP ON
18:12:11 COUNCILMAN MIRANDA'S QUESTION.
18:12:14 YOU HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH LAND USE FOR A WHILE, BOTH
18:12:19 WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA AND NOW PRIVATELY.
18:12:24 THAT KNIGHT'S RUN TO THE NORTH SIDE IS VERY INTENSIVE.
18:12:28 THE SOUTH SIDE IS LESS INTENSIVE.
18:12:33 WAS THAT BY DESIGN EITHER BY THE CITY OR THE PLANNING
18:12:37 COMMISSION OR DID THAT JUST HAPPEN IN HAPPENSTANCE?
18:12:40 >> I THINK THAT IS A QUESTION FOR YOUR STAFF WHO HAS
18:12:42 BEEN MORE INVOLVED OVER THE YEARS IN TERMS OF THE
18:12:44 DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS ON HARBOUR ISLAND.
18:12:47 BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS SOME TESTIMONY FROM THE
18:12:50 PLANNING COMMISSION THAT SAID, YOU KNOW, THIS WAS GIVEN
18:12:55 A VERY HIGH INTENSITY LAND USE CLASSIFICATION WHEN IT
18:12:59 FIRST STARTED, BUT THEN THROUGH THE DRI PROCESS, THE PD
18:13:03 PROCESS AND COUNCILS FROM BEFORE YOU TO TODAY WEIGHING
18:13:07 WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE, WHAT THE CAPACITIES WERE, ETC.
18:13:10 THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN HAS OCCURRED PURSUANT TO
18:13:13 APPROVALS THAT THIS COUNCIL HAS GIVEN, PREVIOUS
18:13:15 COUNCILS HAVE GIVEN.
18:13:19 SO OVERTIME, THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS HAVE BEEN WHAT
18:13:23 THEY ARE, AND IT HAS BEEN CHANGING -- AS I STATED IT
18:13:25 WOULD BE CHANGING THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN BY PUTTING
18:13:31 HIGH -- HIGHER DENSITY, HIGHER INTENSITY, BIGGER SCALE
18:13:34 DEVELOPMENT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF KNIGHT'S RUN THAT IS
18:13:38 NOT RESIDENTIAL AND THAT IS NOT PART OF THE REFERRING
18:13:41 COMMUNITY THAT IS START OF THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT
18:13:43 ON THE OTHER SIDE OF KNIGHT'S RUN.
18:13:46 WHETHER OR NOT IT IS A HOTEL OR OTHER USE FOR THAT IS
18:13:48 IN A COMMERCIAL CATEGORY.
18:13:52 IT IS LESS THE POINT THAN THE MASS AND THE SCALE AND
18:13:56 WHAT HAS OCCURRED AT THAT LOCATION PREVIOUSLY.
18:13:59 AND I WILL ALSO POINT OUT TO YOU IF YOU LOOK AT THE
18:14:02 DEVELOPMENT AS IT HAS OCCURRED ON THE OTHER -- BY
18:14:04 BENEFICIAL BY THE OTHER GATE.
18:14:05 IT HAS BEEN LOWER SCALE.
18:14:09 SO THAT IS WHAT HAS DEVELOPED OVER TIME.
18:14:12 THE REASON FOR IT IS FOR THE PLANNERS TO REALLY ADVISE
18:14:15 ON.
18:14:18 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MISS MANDELL.
18:14:21 WHO IS GOING TO SPEAK NEXT IN PUBLIC COMMENT.
18:14:25 AND IF PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO FORM A LINE ON MY LEFT,
18:14:29 YOUR RIGHT, I WILL GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.
18:14:30 THANK YOU.
18:14:32 PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM.
18:14:38 STATE YOUR NAME.
18:14:44 >> GOOD EVENING, GUY VAN BAALEN, 1415 HARBOR WALK ROAD.
18:14:45 I AM SWORN IN.
18:14:48 THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK.
18:14:52 AS I INDICATED, MY NAME IS GUY VAN BAALEN.
18:14:55 I AM AN ATTORNEY BY PROFESSION AND LIVE ON HARBOUR
18:14:56 ISLAND.
18:14:59 I AM PRESIDENT OF THE HARBOUR ISLAND HOMEOWNERS
18:15:01 ASSOCIATION AND VICE PRESIDENT OF THE SOUTH
18:15:02 NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
18:15:04 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MAY I ASK YOU, ARE YOU SPEAKING FOR
18:15:08 YOURSELF OR FOR EITHER ONE OF THOSE ASSOCIATIONS?
18:15:08 >> FOR ALL THREE.
18:15:10 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ALL THREE.
18:15:13 YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RIGHTS TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT ON
18:15:15 BEHALF OF THE HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION AND THE OTHER
18:15:16 ASSOCIATIONS?
18:15:23 >> YES, I AM PRESIDENT OF THE HARBOR SIDE ASSOCIATION
18:15:25 AND VICE PRESIDENT OF IT.
18:15:29 I AM ALSO A MEMBER OF THE HARBOUR ISLAND ATHLETIC CLUB
18:15:32 SO I AM PARTICULARLY AFFECTED BY WHAT IS PROPOSED HERE
18:15:34 TODAY.
18:15:35 I LOVE HARBOUR ISLAND.
18:15:37 I WANT TO SEE IT FLOURISH.
18:15:40 I HAVE THE FOLLOWING CONCERNS OF THE PROPOSED
18:15:42 DEVELOPMENT AND WHY WE ARE OPPOSE $TO IT.
18:15:44 AND I KNOW THAT YOU WILL HEAR A LOT OF POINT.
18:15:46 I WILL TRY TO NARROW IT DOWN.
18:15:50 ONE, THE DEVELOPER SAYS IT WAS A BANK AND USED STANDARD
18:15:53 BOOK METRIC BY TRAFFIC CONSULTANTS TO GUESSTIMATE THE
18:15:56 AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT THE BANK HAD, BUT THAT IS NOT
18:15:58 REALLY BASED ON REALITY.
18:16:00 YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY SEE WHAT THE SITUATION WAS.
18:16:02 IT WAS A SMALL BANK.
18:16:05 BEFORE THAT OBVIOUSLY IT WAS A MODEL HOME OFFICE YOU.
18:16:09 AND MOSTLY HAD LOCAL AND FOOT TRAFFIC FROM RESIDENTS ON
18:16:10 THE ISLAND.
18:16:12 PEOPLE FROM OFF THE ISLAND DIDN'T COME INTO THE BANK
18:16:13 THAT OFTEN.
18:16:16 THE BUILDING WAS SOLD OBVIOUSLY TO DEVELOPMENT TO
18:16:19 CONVERT TO SMALL OFFICE, AND OBVIOUSLY HIS INTENTIONS
18:16:21 WERE LARGER.
18:16:24 THE NEW PLAN SAYS THAT THE TRAFFIC WILL MOSTLY BE RIDE
18:16:25 SHARE.
18:16:28 THAT CAN BE TREMENDOUS BURDEN ON THE -- ON THE CON GIGS
18:16:30 IN THE AREA.
18:16:32 AND I THINK ALL OF YOU MAY KNOW ABOUT THAT SITUATION.
18:16:34 HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD IS THE ENTRANCE TO THE
18:16:35 COMMUNITY.
18:16:37 I KNOW OUR ATTORNEY EXPLAINED THAT TO YOU.
18:16:40 THE ENTRANCE AND THE EXIT FOR THE HOTEL.
18:16:44 THEY SAY THEY WANT TO MODEL IT ON COMING ON KNIGHT'S
18:16:47 BLUE RUN AND ALSO HAVE IT SO IT CAN COME BY THE GATE.
18:16:49 THERE IS AN ISLAND THERE.
18:16:51 YOU HAVE TO MAKE A U-TURN THERE WHICH IS WHERE THE
18:16:55 HARBOUR ISLAND ATHLETIC CLUB.
18:16:56 IT WILL BE A NIGHTMARE THERE.
18:16:58 PUT MORE LIGHTS IN IF THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING
18:17:01 AND MAKE IT MORE CONGESTED AND HOLD UP THE TRAFFIC THAT
18:17:05 GOES UP BEYOND THE GATES AND BEHIND THE GATES.
18:17:09 SO THE INGRESS AND EGRESS WILL BE A LOGISTICAL
18:17:12 NIGHTMARE AND BLOCK THE ABILITY OF PEOPLE TO COME AND
18:17:13 GO WITH REGARD TO IT.
18:17:16 I ALSO WANT TO BRING UP THE ISSUE WITH CONSTRUCTION AND
18:17:16 ZONING TIMING.
18:17:18 THAT HAVEN'T BEEN RAISED TONIGHT.
18:17:21 IT WASN'T RAISED BY THE DEVELOPER.
18:17:23 WE KNOW -- WE HAVE SEEN WHAT HAPPENED IN CONSTRUCTION
18:17:24 ZONES.
18:17:27 WE ARE OBVIOUSLY FOR CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT IN
18:17:29 THE COMMUNITY, BUT YOU ONLY HAVE TO LOOK AT WATER
18:17:33 STREETS AND HERON TOWERS AND THE AMOUNT OF CONSTRUCTION
18:17:36 AND BLOCKAGE OF ROADS AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT OCCURRED
18:17:37 DURING THAT TIME.
18:17:39 THEY HAVE INDICATED TO US IN ONE OF THE PUBLIC HEARINGS
18:17:45 THERE WILL BE ABLE TO BASICALLY IMPLODE NEGATIVES INTO
18:17:51 A POSITIVE SENSE IS OF USING THE STREETS OF HARBOUR
18:17:52 ISLAND BOULEVARD OR KNIGHT'S RUN.
18:17:54 THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE.
18:17:59 AND I POSE THAT THEY ARE -- EXCUSE ME, THEIR PROPOSAL
18:18:01 WITH REGARD TO THAT.
18:18:03 THIS IS THE ENTRANCE, AND IT WILL BLOCK US.
18:18:05 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
18:18:06 >> OUT OF TIME.
18:18:08 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THAT'S IT.
18:18:12 >> OKAY.
18:18:15 >> HI, JIM GRIFFIN.
18:18:19 1061 SOUTH HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD AND I AM SPEAKING
18:18:21 TONIGHT IN FAVOR OF THE PROJECT.
18:18:25 AS WE HAVE SEEN, THE CITY DEVELOP AND THE ISLAND
18:18:28 DEVELOP, TAMPA HAS CERTAINLY GROWN INTO THIS WALKABLE
18:18:29 CITY.
18:18:33 AND I KNOW, FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE, WHEN WE HAD THE
18:18:35 PRESSURES ON OUR PARKING GARAGE, ETC.
18:18:37 AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE TRAFFIC THIS WOULD ONLY
18:18:43 ENHANCE WHAT TAMPA BRINGS AS A CITY FROM THE CONVENTION
18:18:46 CENTER, THE WALKABILITY, THE NIGHT LIFE, THE VIBRANCE.
18:18:49 I THINK WE BRING A GREAT TASTE OF TAMPA WITH THIS
18:18:51 PROJECT.
18:18:51 THANK YOU.
18:18:59 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
18:19:02 >> GOOD EVENING, VERNON ELLINGER.
18:19:06 I AM A RESIDENT OF HARBOUR ISLAND, AND I BELIEVE I HAVE A
18:19:09 MORE COMPREHENSIVE PHOTO OF WHAT IT IS LIKE AT THE
18:19:10 PROPOSED SITE.
18:19:12 I KNOW YOU HAVE TO BALANCE EVERYONE'S RIGHT.
18:19:15 AND I HOPE YOU WILL JUST SAY NO TO KEEP THINGS IN
18:19:17 BALANCE.
18:19:20 THERE ARE A LOT OF EMOTIONAL ARGUMENTS AT WHAT THE
18:19:24 PETITIONER CALLED A SUCCESSFUL COMMUNITY MEETING.
18:19:26 IT WAS ALMOST A RIOT.
18:19:29 NOW I KNOW YOU CAN ONLY CONSIDER SUBSTANTIVE
18:19:36 OBJECTIONS, SO -- CAN YOU HOLD IT --
18:19:39 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MA'AM, IF YOUR ARMS ARE GETTING TIRED,
18:19:43 PLEASE USE THE EASEL.
18:19:44 >> THANK YOU.
18:19:48 HERE WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BOULEVARD-STYLE, FOUR-LANED
18:19:52 STREET AND DIVIDED AND HAS PLANTS AND A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT
18:19:53 LINE.
18:19:57 WHAT I AM ASKING TO YOU DO IS DRAW THE LINE THERE.
18:20:01 DRAW THE LINE BETWEEN HIGH-RISE AND NOT HIGH-RISE.
18:20:06 IT HAS BEEN VERY CLEAR THROUGH THE OTHER SPEAKING THAT
18:20:07 THERE IS NOTHING HERE.
18:20:09 AND WE HEARD THE WORD "ADJACENT."
18:20:13 I HEARD IT SAID THIS IS NO TALLER THAN THE ADJACENT
18:20:14 BUILDINGS.
18:20:17 I THINK EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT ADJACENT MEANS, NEXT TO.
18:20:20 WHY I AM SAYING DRAW THE LINE IS, THERE IS NOTHING BUT
18:20:23 A BEAUTIFUL VISTA ADJACENT TO THIS PROPERTY.
18:20:26 SO PLEASE KEEP IT THAT WAY.
18:20:30 I BELIEVE THAT THE PETITIONER HAS MISLED US WITHDRAWING
18:20:34 THE LINE AT THE SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, THE
18:20:35 GATED COMMUNITY.
18:20:40 THIS REALLY IS THE LINE TO DRAW BETWEEN HIGH INTENSE
18:20:44 COMMERCIAL AND LOW INTENSE LOW VISTA RESIDENTIAL OR
18:20:46 RECREATIONAL.
18:20:50 NOW, IF THIS -- THIS HOTEL IS COMPLETELY OUT OF
18:20:51 CHARACTER WITH THE MIX.
18:20:54 AND I BELIEVE THAT IS ONE OF THE CRITERIA.
18:20:56 A BUSINESS TRANSACTION HOTEL.
18:20:58 NO INTEGRATION WITH THE COMMUNITY.
18:21:00 I AM A GRADUATE OF THE CORNELL HOTEL SCHOOL, AND I USED
18:21:01 TO RUN HOTELS.
18:21:03 MAYBE YOU CAN CONSIDER ME AN EXPERT.
18:21:08 THIS HOTEL IS NOT A COMMUNITY INTERACTION SITE.
18:21:10 NOW WE TALKED OF THE PARKING SPACES.
18:21:14 IF I AM RUNNING A HOTEL, I WOULD SOB TEMPTED TO
18:21:16 MONETIZE THOSE EXTRA SPACES THAT ARE UNUSED.
18:21:20 PLEASE PUT TEETH, IF YOU DO APPROVE IT, PUT TEETH IN
18:21:20 THAT.
18:21:24 AND ALSO AS GUY BROUGHT UP, EVERYBODY PROJECT TAKES
18:21:28 OVER PUBLIC HIGHWAYS, PUBLIC SPACES TO BE BUILT.
18:21:32 WE CAN NOT HAVE THESE ROADS CLOSED OFF FOR A YEAR.
18:21:37 PLEASE, IF FOR SOME REASON YOU GO AGAINST THE COMMUNITY
18:21:41 AND ALLOW THIS TO PROCEED, YOU WILL BE LIKE A CAR
18:21:48 BUNGLE ON SMOOTH SKIN AND WE CANNOT HAVE OUR ROADS
18:21:49 CLOSED DURING CONSTRUCTION.
18:21:51 PLEASE DRAW THE LINE HERE.
18:21:59 AND DON'T PUT THIS IN OUR HOTEL -- ON OUR ISLAND.
18:21:59 [APPLAUSE]
18:22:04 [GAVEL SOUNDING]
18:22:12 >> THIS I REFER TO AS IT.
18:22:14 >> CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY?
18:22:17 I AM DEBRA ELLINGER ON ABBEY'S WAY.
18:22:18 AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.
18:22:22 I SIT ON THREE LARGE COMPANY BOARDS LOCALLY HERE, FOR
18:22:24 EXAMPLE, TUPPERWARE.
18:22:27 I HAVE BEEN THE CEO AND PRESIDENT OF FOUR PRIVATE
18:22:30 EQUITY COMPANIES.
18:22:32 IN THAT ROLE I DEVELOPED OVER 100 DIFFERENT PROPERTIES.
18:22:37 I NEVER SEEN SOMETHING AS EGREGIOUS AS THIS.
18:22:39 WHAT I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT BECAUSE THIS IS WITHIN
18:22:43 YOUR DOMAIN TO DEAL WITH IS THE LAND USE INTENSITY THAT
18:22:43 IS INVOLVED HERE.
18:22:47 THE PREVIOUS SPEAKER TALKED ABOUT THE DEMARCATION LINE.
18:22:51 I ACTUALLY HAVE THE SAME PHOTOGRAPH WITHOUT -- I JUST
18:22:55 WANT TO RE-EMPHASIZE THAT BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT GOES TO
18:22:57 YOUR ZONING DECISIONS.
18:22:58 DO YOU MIND.
18:23:03 JUST BE VERY, VERY CLEAR, THAT THING DOES -- HIS SCALE
18:23:07 WAS CORRECT, IT GOES ALL THE WAY UP TO THE SKY UP HERE.
18:23:10 THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, NOT THE PICTURES THAT THE
18:23:12 DEVELOPER HAS SHOWN YOU.
18:23:17 THIS IS VERY CLEAR LOW-RISE, LOW INTENSITY.
18:23:19 A CLEAR DEMARCATION LINE AND I WANT TO YOU SUPPORT
18:23:20 THAT.
18:23:24 THE LAST THING I WILL SAY IS THAT ZONING WAS PUT IN
18:23:27 PLACE TO PROTECT THIS KIND OF DEVELOPMENT.
18:23:31 IT IS PUT IN PLACE TO MINIMIZE AND MANAGE INTENSITY.
18:23:35 AND I STRONGLY, STRONGLY URGE TO YOU REJECT THIS
18:23:36 REZONING PROPOSAL.
18:23:38 THANK YOU.
18:23:40 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
18:23:40 [APPLAUSE]
18:23:42 [GAVEL SOUNDING]
18:23:47 >>JOSEPH CITRO: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE, IF WE --
18:23:49 WE ARE ALL HAPPY ABOUT CERTAIN SPEAKERS AND SOME
18:23:53 SPEAKS, BUT IF WE CAN PLEASE REFRAIN FROM THE APPLAUSE.
18:23:54 THANK YOU.
18:23:55 >> GOOD EVENING.
18:23:56 LAUREN TOBIN.
18:24:00 I HAVE BEEN ON HARBOUR ISLAND FOR 30 YEARS.
18:24:03 AND I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF CHANGES.
18:24:06 ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS INVOLVED WITH WAS THE PUSH
18:24:10 BACK TO PUT THE FORCE MAIN, THE NEW FORCE MAIN ON TOP
18:24:13 OF THE OLD FORCE MAIN.
18:24:18 THAT INITIATIVE WAS -- HAPPENED AND THE RESIDENTS, A
18:24:21 LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE TODAY GOT TOGETHER AND
18:24:23 PUSHED BACK ON THAT INITIATIVE.
18:24:27 AND WE MADE THE CITY LISTEN TO US AND TALK ABOUT WHAT
18:24:30 IT WOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE TO HAVE THE FORCE MAIN.
18:24:32 THE NEW ONE ON TOP OF THE OLD ONE.
18:24:34 IT WOULD HAVE GONE RIGHT THROUGH HARBOUR ISLAND AND
18:24:36 RIGHT THROUGH MY BACK YARD.
18:24:41 I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE THE ELMO, BUT I HAVE A PICTURE.
18:24:44 >>JOSEPH CITRO: LAY IT DOWN RIGHT ON IT.
18:24:45 THERE YOU GO.
18:24:46 >> I WALK BY THIS SITE EVERY DAY NOW.
18:24:49 I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT THE CITY RECOGNIZED THAT JUST
18:24:53 BECAUSE AN IDEA WAS AN IDEA MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN A GOOD
18:24:54 ONE.
18:24:57 SO WE PUSHED BACK AND THE CITY DECIDED TO MOVE THE
18:25:00 FORCE MAIN BETWEEN THE HISTORY MUSEUM AND THE MARRIOTT.
18:25:03 THAT IS WHAT THAT CONSTRUCTION SITE LOOKS LIKE RIGHT
18:25:03 NOW.
18:25:06 AGAIN, BY BY IT EVERY DAY.
18:25:11 THAT IS WHAT THINGS WOULD HAPPEN IF WE -- YOU MET --
18:25:12 YOU APPROVE THIS.
18:25:17 THE CONSTRUCTION ALONE WOULD SHUT DOWN THE -- ONE OF
18:25:20 TWO ENTRANCE WAYS TO HARBOUR ISLAND TO THE SOUTH OF THE
18:25:23 GATES -- TO THE SOUTH OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE WE
18:25:23 LIVE.
18:25:25 THAT IS POINT NUMBER ONE.
18:25:28 POINT NUMBER TWO, I WANT TO GO ON RECORD HERE THE LAST
18:25:31 TIME WE ALL MET WITH THE LIBERTY GROUP WAS A DISASTER.
18:25:33 THEY SAID IT WAS PRODUCTIVE.
18:25:37 ENDED VERY ABRUPTLY BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS GETTING UP TO
18:25:37 TALK.
18:25:41 AT THAT MEETING, IT WAS ASKED IF THE LIBERTY GROUP HAD
18:25:45 HIRED THE BALLARD GROUP TO HELP MOVE THIS INITIATIVE
18:25:47 FORWARD.
18:25:50 AND IT WAS TOLD TO US BY THE LIBERTY GROUP THAT THE
18:25:53 BALLARD GROUP HAD BEEN HIRED.
18:25:59 ANN CRUZ IS A MANAGING PARTNER OF THE BALLARD GROUP.
18:26:03 I MIND TO BE AN INCREDIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
18:26:07 IF AT ANY -- I THINK I AM DONE.
18:26:08 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
18:26:09 >> THANK YOU.
18:26:11 >>JOSEPH CITRO: NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
18:26:14 >> GOOD EVENING, DR. KATHLEEN HEIDE.
18:26:17 I AM A DISTINGUISHED UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR AT USF.
18:26:22 I LIVED THAT HARBOUR ISLAND FOR 26 YEARS.
18:26:27 AND I HAVE ALSO BEEN INVOLVED ON THE BOARD FOR ABOUT A
18:26:31 DOZEN YEARS, PRESIDENT FOR I THINK FIVE OR SIX YEARS.
18:26:33 WHAT I CAN SAY -- AND I HAD A LONG TALK.
18:26:36 BUT A FEW POINTS.
18:26:39 THE SPEAKS BEFORE HAVE SHOWN YOU VERY CLEARLY THIS IS
18:26:43 NOT CONSISTENT WITH THIS BUILDING WITH WHAT WE HAD.
18:26:47 THE VISTA, IF YOU LOOK, WOULD BE BASICALLY FLAT NOW AND
18:26:51 WE WILL HAVE THAT BUILDING -- THE PROPOSED HOTEL THERE.
18:26:53 IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE.
18:26:54 IT IS NOT CONSISTENT.
18:27:02 WHAT I WANT ALSO MENTION IS WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID.
18:27:05 THERE IS ONE BUILDING RIGHT NOW THAT IS -- HARBOR
18:27:05 COURT.
18:27:07 IT WAS THERE WHEN I MOVED IN.
18:27:11 IT WAS THREE COMMUNITIES SEVEN STORIES.
18:27:14 AFTER THAT, THERE WERE NO HIGH-RISES BUILT.
18:27:17 AND I THINK THAT IS BECAUSE A CONSCIOUS DECISION WAS
18:27:19 MADE TO KEEP IT ON A LOW SCALE.
18:27:22 AND YOU WILL FIND TWO, THREE STORIES.
18:27:26 YOU WILL NOT FIND ANOTHER SEVEN-STORY BUILDING.
18:27:29 I THINK IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A MISREPRESENTATION TO
18:27:31 SUGGEST THIS IS FITTING IN.
18:27:32 IT DOESN'T.
18:27:36 IT WILL BE CLEARLY AT A SITE.
18:27:38 AND OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED AND I WILL JUST HIGHLIGHT
18:27:40 THAT IT WILL IMPEDE TRAFFIC.
18:27:43 ONE OF THE SPEAKERS SAID -- AND IT IS RIGHT ON -- THERE
18:27:46 WAS NOT MUCH TRAFFIC WITH THAT BANK.
18:27:50 SO SAYS IT COMPARABLE IS, AGAIN, I BELIEVE A
18:27:53 MISREPRESENTATION WITH ALL DUE RESPECT.
18:27:57 IT WILL CLEARLY IMPEDE ENTRY AND EXIT INTO WHAT IS THE
18:27:59 WEST GATE.
18:28:02 PROBABLY RESULT IN THE WEST GATE BEING CLOSED FOR A
18:28:03 LONG PERIOD OF TIME.
18:28:07 THAT WILL SUBSTANTIALLY IMPACT PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE,
18:28:08 GETTING TO WORK.
18:28:10 GETTING HOME FROM WORK.
18:28:14 IN ADDITION, THE -- THE DEVELOPERS ARE REPRESENTING THE
18:28:19 AC HOTEL AS -- YOU KNOW, AS REALLY STATE THE ART OF
18:28:19 WHATEVER.
18:28:23 ALL DUE RESPECT, I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE MARRIOTT.
18:28:24 YOU CAN FIND THIS.
18:28:25 THERE ARE 30 PROPERTIES.
18:28:28 THE AC HOTEL IS NOT RATED AS ONE OF THE HIGHEST
18:28:30 QUALITIES.
18:28:32 WAS RATED 17 OUT OF 30.
18:28:34 HARBOUR ISLAND -- SOUTH OF THE GATES.
18:28:35 THIS IS THE KEY HERE.
18:28:39 SOUTH OF THE GATES IS A PREMIERE COMMUNITY.
18:28:43 OUR PROPERTIES OFTENTIMES, IF THEY GO ON THE MARKET,
18:28:45 THEY ARE SOLD WITHIN A FEW DAYS.
18:28:49 SO MY REQUEST IS, PLEASE, TO DENY THIS MOTION ON BEHALF
18:28:50 OF THE RESIDENTS.
18:28:51 THANK YOU.
18:28:54 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
18:28:55 [APPLAUSE]
18:28:57 >>JOSEPH CITRO: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.
18:28:59 >> HI, GOOD EVENING.
18:29:02 MY NAME IS JESSICA SCHWARZKOPF.
18:29:05 1469 HARBOR WALK ROAD.
18:29:06 AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.
18:29:09 I AM ACTUALLY HERE TONIGHT WITH MY MOTHER, BRENDA.
18:29:12 HER AND I ARE BOTH RESIDENTS OF THE ISLANDS.
18:29:15 I HAVE BEEN THERE SINCE THE LATE '90S AND SHE MOVED
18:29:20 THERE WITH MY FATHER IN THE LATE 2000S FOR SECURITY
18:29:22 REASONS AND WE ARE HERE TO VOICE OUR CONCERNS REGARDING
18:29:23 THIS REZONING EFFORTS.
18:29:25 I WAS COMPELLED TO SPEAK TONIGHT BECAUSE OF AN INCIDENT
18:29:27 THAT HAPPENED JUST RECENTLY WITH MY MOM.
18:29:31 SHE NEEDED MEDICAL ATTENTION, AND I HAD TO CALL 911.
18:29:34 SHE DID FORTUNATELY GET THE HELP SHE NEEDED IN TIME,
18:29:36 BUT I COULDN'T HELP TO THINK AT THAT TIME HOW
18:29:40 DIFFERENTLY THINGS COULD HAVE TURNED OUT HAD THAT
18:29:42 HAPPENED AT ONE OF THE THOSE MANY TIMES WHEN ACCESS TO
18:29:46 OUR HOMES ARE IMPEDED BY THE HEAVY PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC,
18:29:50 CAR TRAFFIC, BRIDGE CLOSURES, ROAD CLOSURES THAT HAPPEN
18:29:53 DUE TO ONE OR SEVERAL EVENTS AT THE SAME TIME THAT
18:29:54 HAPPEN AROUND THE ISLAND.
18:29:57 I DID REACH OUT TO OUR FIRST RESPONDERS AFTERWARDS TO
18:29:58 THANK THEM.
18:30:01 AND I ALSO WANTED TO ASK THEM HOW THEY HANDLE THOSE
18:30:04 DIFFICULT TIMES AND IF THE RAPID GROWTH IN DOWNTOWN IS
18:30:07 AFFECTING THEIR ABILITY TO DO THEIR JOB.
18:30:09 I WAS TOLD IN FACT THAT THEY HAVE MADE REQUESTS FOR
18:30:15 ADDITIONAL RESOURCES AND FIRE STATIONS TO KEEP PACE
18:30:18 WITH THE RAPID GROWTH IN THIS AREA.
18:30:20 AND IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHERE EVERY MINUTE COUNT
18:30:24 OBVIOUSLY, HAVING THOSE COULD MEAN THE DIFFERENCE
18:30:27 BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH AND HAVING THIS INFORMATION
18:30:31 RAISE MIND CONCERNS OF PROPOSED HOTEL OUTSIDE OUR MAIN
18:30:37 ENTRANCE AND HOW THAT CAN FURTHER EXACERBATE THE
18:30:40 SITUATIONS WE HAVE AND AFFECT RESPONSE TIME TO THE
18:30:41 ISLAND.
18:30:43 I UNDERSTAND TAMPA HAS GROWING PAINS BUT AN UNIQUE
18:30:46 SITUATION IN HARBOUR ISLAND WHERE WE ARE WITH BAYSHORE
18:30:50 AND THE PARADES, DOWNTOWN, THE CONVENTION CENTER, THE
18:30:51 AMALIE.
18:30:54 WITH ONLY THE TWO POINTS OF ENTRY THAT WERE DISCUSSED,
18:30:57 ALL THE GROWTH THAT IS HAPPENING DOWN THERE WITH WATER
18:30:59 STREET AND THE EXPANSION WITH THAT.
18:31:02 IT -- JUST THE SITUATION SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE.
18:31:06 SO NEEDLESS TO SAY, OUR AREA IS BOOMING AND A LOT OF
18:31:11 UPSIDES TO THAT AND ALSO THE LIMITATIONS WHEN THE BOOM
18:31:13 REACHED RIGHT OUTSIDE OUR FRONT YARD.
18:31:15 ALL WE ARE ASKING THAT THE LAND BE USED AS IT WAS
18:31:18 INTENDED AND RESPECT THE FACTS THAT THE RESIDENTS OF
18:31:23 THE ISLAND AND OUR FIRST RESPONDERS ARE ALREADY
18:31:25 STRUGGLING WITH THE GROWTH EXPLOSION THAT ARE AFFECTING
18:31:29 OUR ACCESS, SCHEDULES AND POTENTIALLY OUR SAFETY.
18:31:31 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
18:31:35 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
18:31:37 >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
18:31:40 AARON HOEFEN, GENERAL MANAGER OF THE AC HOTEL IN
18:31:42 WESTSHORE.
18:31:47 420 WEST BOY SCOUT BOULEVARD.
18:31:47 I WAS SWORN IN.
18:31:50 I'M HERE WITH ZERO TIES TO THIS PROJECT.
18:31:53 I'M HERE IN FAVOR OF THE BUILD.
18:31:58 I WANTED TO GIVE YOU SOME DETAILS ABOUT HOW MY HOTEL
18:31:59 RUNS.
18:32:00 I AM 175 ROOMS.
18:32:01 25 ROOMS LARGER.
18:32:06 150 PARKING SPACES ADJACENT TO THE HOTEL.
18:32:09 IT IS VERY RARE THAT WE GET BEYOND 25% CAPACITY OF THAT
18:32:11 PARKING.
18:32:14 WE DO NOT MONETIZE THE PARKING.
18:32:16 WE DON'T SELL THE PROPERTY IN ANY WAY.
18:32:18 NOW, AGAIN, I AM NOT CONNECTED WITH THE MANAGEMENT NOR
18:32:21 THE OWNERSHIP OF THIS BUILD.
18:32:23 TRAFFIC IS VERY LIMITED.
18:32:27 WE FIND THAT OUR SEASONED GUESTS THAT COME TO AN AC
18:32:30 HOTEL -- THEY ARE COMING THROUGH RIDE SHARE.
18:32:33 THEY ARE GENERALLY GOING TO GET TO WHERE THEY GO TO --
18:32:35 THEY ARE GOING TO THE CLOSEST PLACE TO THEIR BUSINESS
18:32:38 OR THE BUSINESS THEY ARE HERE TO SEE.
18:32:39 THEY ARE DOING A LOT OF WALKING.
18:32:44 THE WAY AC HOTELS ARE BUILT AND PLANNED IS WHERE THERE
18:32:47 IS WALKABLE RESTAURANTS, WALKABLE NIGHT LIFE.
18:32:49 WE WILL SEE A LOT OF PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC.
18:32:53 ARRIVAL PATTERNS TEND TO BE 9 A.M. UNTIL 11 P.M. IT IS
18:32:55 SPACED OUT THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
18:32:58 WE DON'T FIND THAT PEOPLE ARE SHOWING UP ALL AT ONE
18:33:01 TIME UNLESS THERE IS AN EVENT IN THE AREA.
18:33:03 TRAFFIC IN THAT AREA.
18:33:04 I WORKED AT MARRIOTT WATER STREET.
18:33:08 I UNDERSTAND THE TRAFFIC PATTERNS OVER THERE AND HOW
18:33:13 THE -- THE TWO EVENT CENTERS CAN CONGEST THAT AREA.
18:33:16 I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS HOTEL WILL BE A PART OF THAT.
18:33:20 MEETING SPACE IS VERY SMALL IN THESE HOTELS.
18:33:21 VERY SMALL.
18:33:25 AND WE FIND THAT IT'S GOING TO BE INHOUSE GUESTS THAT
18:33:27 ARE GOING DOWN TO THE MEETINGS.
18:33:29 THAT WILL BE THE DRAW FOR.
18:33:32 WE FIND THE LOCAL BUSINESSES AND LOCAL RESIDENCES USE
18:33:36 SMALL SPACES TO CONDUCT THEIR OWN BUSINESS IN A PLACE
18:33:36 CLOSE TO HOME.
18:33:40 WE FIND A LOT OF LOCAL ENGAGEMENT IN OUR LOUNGE MAINLY,
18:33:42 BUT ALSO BREAKFAST IN THE MORNING.
18:33:45 IT IS A PLACE WHERE WE HAVE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE THAT
18:33:48 WILL STOP IN FOR COULD HAVE HEY, HAVE IMPROMPTU
18:33:54 MEETINGS IN FREE SPACES IN OUR FIRST FLOOR I GUESS
18:33:56 GOVERNMENT PARKING GARAGE IN THIS ONE.
18:34:00 BUT IT IS A GREAT UPSCALE HOTEL.
18:34:02 NOT 17TH IN THE BRAND.
18:34:04 THE HIGHEST GUEST SATISFACTION OF ALL THE MARRIOTT
18:34:08 BRANDS AND THE FASTEST GROWING IN OUR PORTFOLIO.
18:34:10 SO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
18:34:13 ANY QUESTIONS.
18:34:14 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
18:34:15 >> HAVE A GREAT EVENING.
18:34:17 APPRECIATE IT.
18:34:23 >> HELLO, KEN sTOLTENBERG, KENNEDY BOULEVARD, UNIT 510.
18:34:24 AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.
18:34:27 I DON'T LIVE ON HARBOUR ISLAND.
18:34:29 I LIVE IN THE CHANNEL DISTRICT.
18:34:33 I AM NOT HERE IS TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS PROJECT.
18:34:36 I'M HERE TO SPEAK OF THE PROCESS THAT A DEVELOPER LOOKS
18:34:39 INTO AS YOU MAKE AN INVESTMENT INSPECT COMMUNITY.
18:34:41 YOU KNOW I MADE LARGE INVESTMENTS IN THE CHANNEL
18:34:43 DISTRICT THAT TURNED OUT VERY WELL.
18:34:46 YOU LOOK AT WHAT THE CODE SAYS AND WHAT THE RULES ARE,
18:34:48 AND YOU TRY FOLLOW THEM.
18:34:50 IN THIS CASE THE APPLICANT DID EXACTLY THAT.
18:34:53 I NEVER HAVE SEEN A PROPERTY THAT HAS COME IN THAT HAS
18:34:57 BEEN NAMED CONSISTENT WITH NO VARIANCES OR WAIVERS.
18:34:59 NONE.
18:35:03 SO WHAT THEY ARE SEEKING TO DO MAY NOT BE POPULAR, BUT
18:35:04 IT IS CONSISTENT.
18:35:09 AND I THINK BY NOT TAKING THAT INTO ACCOUNT, IT MAY
18:35:14 CREATE OTHER UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES FOR OTHER FOLKS
18:35:16 LOOKING TO MAKE POSITIVE INVESTMENTS IN YOUR COMMUNITY.
18:35:22 THANK YOU.
18:35:26 >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCILMEMBERS.
18:35:33 BENNETT PAULEY, A RESIDENT OF DAVIS ISLAND ADO WORK
18:35:35 DOWNTOWN AND I TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE AMENITIES WE HAVE
18:35:36 IN DOWNTOWN.
18:35:39 I GUESS COULD YOU SAY I LIVE, WORK AND PLAY IN
18:35:41 DOWNTOWN.
18:35:45 I ALSO SERVE ON THE TAMPA BAY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
18:35:45 COUNCIL.
18:35:48 I AM A COMMISSIONER ON THE TAMPA HOUSING AUTHORITIES,
18:35:50 BUT NOT HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THEM.
18:35:53 I'M HERE BECAUSE HOTEL PROJECTS LIKE THE AC HOTEL ON
18:35:58 HARBOUR ISLAND HELPS FOLKS LIKE ME TELL A STORY.
18:36:00 THE STORY OF TAMPA TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD.
18:36:04 IT IS A STORY OF A VIBRANT AND GROWING CITY THAT IS
18:36:09 ATTRACTING VISITORS AND WORK FORCE TALENT TO OUR URBAN
18:36:10 CORE IN DROVES.
18:36:12 WE HAVE ALL SEEN IT.
18:36:12 YOU KNOW IT.
18:36:14 YOU HAVE READ THE PAPER.
18:36:17 IN MY CAREER AS A BOARD CERTIFIED CONSTRUCTION LAWYER.
18:36:20 I UNDERSTAND THE FRICTION THAT DOLE DEVELOPS WHEN
18:36:22 DEVELOPMENTS ARE PLANNED NEAR NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT THAT
18:36:25 HAPPENS USUALLY IN THE SUBURBS.
18:36:28 HERE FOLKS, WE ARE IN THE URBAN CORE.
18:36:32 AND HARBOUR ISLAND IS A VITAL AND ESSENTIAL PART OF THE
18:36:34 URBAN CORE.
18:36:37 THE URBAN CORE IS WHERE A CITY GENERATES THE ENERGY.
18:36:40 IT GENERATES ITS PASSION AND COMMUNITY SPIRIT.
18:36:45 AND HOTELS LIKE THIS BELONG IN THE URBAN CORE.
18:36:48 I BELIEVE THIS PROJECT WILL ENHANCE TAMPA'S OPPORTUNITY
18:36:51 TO HOST MORE LARGE-SCALE EVENTS AND BRING MORE VISITORS
18:36:55 TO OUR COMMUNITY THAT WILL HELP LOCAL BUSINESSES THAT
18:36:59 NEED THOSE VISITORS AND WILL HELP OUR LOCAL ECONOMY.
18:37:02 LARGER CONFERENCES MEAN MORE VISITORS, MEANS MORE
18:37:04 REVENUE.
18:37:08 THIS DEVELOPER HAS REALLY DONE A LOT TO ACCOMMODATE THE
18:37:09 CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED.
18:37:12 I UNDERSTAND IT MAY NOT BE POPULAR FOR THE RESIDENTS
18:37:18 THAT LIVE THERE AND EYE EMPATHIZE WITH THAT.
18:37:21 BUT WE LIVE AND THEY LIVE IN AN URBAN CORE AND THAT IS
18:37:24 WHAT IS LIVING IN AN URBAN CORE IS ABOUT.
18:37:25 YOU ARE GOING HAVE CONSTRUCTION.
18:37:28 YOU ARE YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE DEVELOPMENT AND BUS WE
18:37:30 ARE IN A GROWING CITY AND THAT IS WHAT WE NEED IN
18:37:31 TAMPA.
18:37:35 THIS PROJECT IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF HOW A HOTEL CAN
18:37:40 FILL A BUSINESS NEED CREATE JOBS AND ALSO FIT INTO THE
18:37:41 SURROUNDING AREAS.
18:37:45 I COMMEND THE TEAM, THE LIBERTY GROUP FOR LISTENING,
18:37:48 FOR ADJUSTING THEIR PLAN AND MAKING THE ACCOMMODATIONS
18:37:49 THEY HAD.
18:37:52 THE STORY OF TAMPA NEEDS THIS DEVELOPMENT.
18:37:54 AND I ASK YOUR FAVORABLE SUPPORT.
18:37:56 THANK YOU, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.
18:38:02 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
18:38:04 >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL CHAIR CITRO AND
18:38:06 COUNCILMEMBERS.
18:38:09 MY NAME IS BEA BARE.
18:38:14 1,000 SOUTH HARBOUR ISLAND, NUMBER 2512.
18:38:16 I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.
18:38:22 MY OPPOSITION TO THESE ACTIONS HAVE BEEN DETAILED IN
18:38:25 CORRESPONDENCE TO YOU AND TO MARRIOTT'S CEO OF WHICH
18:38:26 YOU WERE COPIED.
18:38:31 I KEEP MULLING OVER IN MY MIND WHAT VALUE WILL THIS
18:38:33 PROJECT BRING TO TAMPA BAY.
18:38:38 BESIDES ADDITIONAL TAX REVENUES, I AM HARD-PRESSED TO
18:38:42 COME UPANY REDEEMING QUALITIES IT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO
18:38:46 TAMPA'S PROGRESS AS DESIGNED.
18:38:51 LIBERTY GROUP PROMOTES THE HOTEL AS ICONIC.
18:38:56 MANY AGE TIFFS COME TO MIND THAT DESCRIBE THIS PROJECT;
18:39:02 HOWEVER, NONE ARE SYNONYMOUS WITH ICONIC.
18:39:06 LIBERTY GROUP STANDS WITH THE CLAIM THAT IT WILL ABU
18:39:06 TEAK HOTEL.
18:39:07 REALLY?
18:39:11 BOUTIQUE HOTELS ARE INTIMATE, HAVE A COZY AMBIENCE,
18:39:13 THAT HAVE A THEME PRESENT THROUGHOUT THE HOTEL.
18:39:17 AN EXAMPLE IS HOTEL AIYN YBOR.
18:39:20 AND LOOK HOW IT RESPECTED, EMBRACED AND PROUDLY
18:39:25 INTEGRATED YBOR'S RICH LEGACIES INTO ITS PROPERTY.
18:39:31 EVEN ITS RESTAURANT NAME, CROW ABOUT ITS HERITAGE.
18:39:33 A BOUTIQUE HOTEL HAS STYLE.
18:39:37 IT HAS BY NASH.
18:39:38 PINACHE.
18:39:40 IN PROPOSED HOTEL.
18:39:43 THE STRUCTURE IS A COLD CONCRETE STEEL AND GLASS
18:39:47 BUILDING THAT IS COMPLETELY VOID OF A PERSONALITY.
18:39:51 IT IS AN OVERSIZED TRAFFIC-INDUCING, UNIMAGINE I HAVE
18:39:55 IT EYESORE THAT COULD POSSIBLY LOOK GREAT ELSEWHERE,
18:39:57 BUT NOT ON HARBOUR ISLAND.
18:40:01 THAT LIBERTY GROUP'S OPEN HOUSE MEETING I URGE $MR.
18:40:04 SHAW TO DO SOMETHING WE COULD BE PROUD OF.
18:40:08 SOMETHING SMALL, UNIQUE, ATTRACTIVE AND COMPATIBLE WITH
18:40:11 HARBOUR ISLAND'S ATTRIBUTES.
18:40:12 SOMETHING WELCOMED.
18:40:14 SOMETHING TRULY ICONIC.
18:40:18 HE HAS THE WHEREWITHAL TO DO THAT.
18:40:23 CITY COUNCIL, PLEASE, ENSURE TAMPA'S QUEST FOR FURTHER
18:40:27 GREATNESS BY ENVISIONING SOMETHING FOR THAT SITE THAT
18:40:30 ADDS TO TAMPA'S CHARACTER AND SETS US APART FROM OTHER
18:40:33 COMMUNITIES INSTEAD OF IMPROVING SOMETHING THAT IS
18:40:38 STRONGLY OPPOSED AND COULD BE ANYWHERE USA.
18:40:42 IN MAKING YOUR IS HE SIGNIFICANCES THIS EVENING, PLEASE
18:40:48 DO NOT CONDEMN US TO MEDIOCRITY.
18:40:49 THANK YOU.
18:40:50 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
18:40:52 >> MAY I ASK ONE HOUSEKEEPING QUESTION?
18:40:55 ON THE SIGN IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING -- IN FRONT OF THE
18:41:01 BUILDING OF THE NOTICE FOR REZONING REZ 21-52.
18:41:06 THERE IS A SECOND SIGN THAT TALKS ABOUT A USE CHANGE
18:41:09 CASE NPC 22-2.
18:41:11 IS THAT -- IS THAT WITHIN THIS?
18:41:14 I AM TALKING ABOUT THE SIGN THAT IS IN FRONT OF 800
18:41:17 HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD.
18:41:21 AND I BELIEVE IT HAD TODAY -- IT HAD TODAY'S DATE ON
18:41:21 IT.
18:41:23 I AM JUST ASKING THE QUESTION.
18:41:25 THERE ARE TWO SIGNS IN FRONT OF THAT PROPERTY.
18:41:32 ONE HAS THE REZ AND THIS OTHER ONE IS N PC.
18:41:36 IS IT?
18:41:41 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MR. CREMER?
18:41:42 >> JAKE CREMER FOR THE RECORD.
18:41:44 I THINK THIS GENTLEMAN IS TALKING OF THE NOTICE OF
18:41:46 PROPOSED CHANGE SIGN.
18:41:49 THAT IS THE OTHER ITEM WE ARE HEARING SIMULTANEOUSLY
18:41:51 TONIGHT.
18:41:53 TWO ITEMS WE ARE HEARING BOTH.
18:41:54 >> WE ARE TALKING OF BOTH THINGS.
18:41:56 THAT IS ALL.
18:41:58 >>JOSEPH CITRO: CORRECT.
18:41:59 >> EXCUSE ME.
18:42:01 I WILL TRY NOT TO BE REDUNDANT.
18:42:02 A LOT OF GREAT COMMENTS.
18:42:07 MYSELF AND MY WIFE HAVE -- I AM GREG FAGIOLI.
18:42:09 I LIVE ON HARBOR COURT.
18:42:09 YOU HEARD THAT NAME.
18:42:14 I AND MY WIFE LIVED THERE AND I LIVED IT FOR SINCE 19
18:42:20 -- EXCUSE ME SINCE 1999.
18:42:22 MY WIFE AND I ARE FIRMLY AGAINST THIS.
18:42:24 RATHER THAN BE REDUNDANT.
18:42:25 BRING UP A FEW FACTS.
18:42:30 SOME THAT I HAVE READ THAT THE HARBOUR ISLAND IS -- IS
18:42:36 -- POSSESSES 283% MORE POPULATION THAN THE AVERAGE IN
18:42:37 TAMPA.
18:42:40 ALREADY HAVE WAY MORE POPULATION DENSITY ON THE HARBOUR
18:42:41 ISLAND.
18:42:44 ALL THIS IS GOING TO DO IS BRING A LITTLE BIT MORE.
18:42:49 I UNDERSTAND ABOUT NOT BEING AN EXPERT, BUT I GUESS ALL
18:42:52 THE FOLKS THAT YOU HEAR THAT AREN'T FOR THIS ARE
18:42:54 EXPERTS BECAUSE WE LIVE THERE.
18:42:57 WE GO THROUGH THOSE INTERSECTIONS ALL THE TIME.
18:42:58 WE LOOK THERE.
18:43:00 I WILL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT SOMEBODY
18:43:02 MIGHT HAVE, BECAUSE I AM THERE.
18:43:04 I UNDERSTAND.
18:43:08 THE NEXT THING IS SINCE IT WAS BROUGHT UP ABOUT OTHER
18:43:09 PLACES.
18:43:12 AND WE BROUGHT UP YBOR CITY.
18:43:15 CERTAINLY PLACES LIKE RAYMOND JAMES STADIUM AREA, YBOR
18:43:19 CITY, RIVERSIDE HEIGHTS, EVEN ON DAVIS ISLAND SINCE THE
18:43:23 GENTLEMAN MENTIONED IT, THERE IS A NEED AND A LOT OF
18:43:25 OTHER PLACES RATHER THAN PUTTING IT ON THE HARBOUR
18:43:26 ISLAND.
18:43:29 THE OTHER THING IS, THE GENTLEMAN LEFT WAS TWO SPEAKERS
18:43:31 BEFORE ME, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING THAT HE
18:43:36 COMMENTED THAT THE RESIDENTS WHO ARE VOTERS ARE NOT IN
18:43:38 FAVOR OF THIS.
18:43:42 SO I HAVEN'T MET ANYBODY ON HARBOUR ISLAND AND OVER THE
18:43:45 LAST FEW MONTHS THAT HAS BEEN IN FAVOR OF THIS.
18:43:50 SO I WOULD ALSO SAY SINCE WE HAVE THIS POSTED --
18:43:53 POSTAGE STAMP SIZE WE WANT TO BUILD THIS COLUMN ON,
18:43:56 JUST BECAUSE THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY AND VACANT LAND
18:43:58 DOESN'T MEAN WE HAVE TO BUILD ON IT.
18:43:59 IT DOESN'T MEAN IT.
18:44:02 YOU CAN JUST LEAVE IT JUST THE WAY IT IS.
18:44:03 AND NO HARM, NO FOUL.
18:44:05 THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
18:44:13 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
18:44:15 >> MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.
18:44:17 GOOD AFTERNOON OR GOOD EVENING.
18:44:21 BOB MORRISON AND I STAND BEFORE YOU TODAY -- ACTUALLY
18:44:22 WITH TWO PERSPECTIVES.
18:44:24 AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.
18:44:28 FIRST, I SERVE AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF HILLSBOROUGH
18:44:31 COUNTY'S HOTEL AND MOTEL ASSOCIATION.
18:44:35 SECONDLY, SOME OF YOU ARE AWARE THAT I ACTUALLY WAS
18:44:40 PART OF THE CITY LEADERSHIP TEAM IN THE 1980S WHEN
18:44:45 HARBOUR ISLAND WAS ACTUALLY BROUGHT TO THE TABLE BY
18:44:47 BENEFICIAL FINANCE.
18:44:49 SO I COME TO YOU THIS EVENING FROM THOSE TWO
18:44:50 PERSPECTIVES.
18:44:55 I AM STANDING HERE IN FAVOR OF AGENDA ITEMS 2 AND 3.
18:44:57 HERE ARE THE REASONS WHY.
18:45:01 NUMBER ONE, WHEN WE TALK OF HOTELS IN TODAY'S
18:45:05 ENVIRONMENT, THERE IS A CONCEPT CALLED GRAND STANDARDS.
18:45:09 WHICH MEANS THAT THERE IS A QUALITY CONTROL ELEMENT
18:45:14 THAT IS SEPARATE FROM THE OWNER, SEPARATE FROM THE
18:45:18 MANAGEMENT TEAM, WHERE IN THIS INSTANCE, MARRIOTT COME
18:45:24 IN PERIODICALLY AND DICTATES IMPROVEMENTS, UPGRADES,
18:45:29 EVEN DURING RECESSIONARY PERIODS TO ENSURE THAT THE
18:45:31 BRAND REPUTATION IS MAINTAINED.
18:45:38 SECONDLY, ALL OF YOU ARE AWARE OF THE REALITY OF
18:45:39 TRANSPORTATION APPS.
18:45:43 THOSE APPS HAVE DRAMATICALLY SHIFTED THE IMPACT THAT
18:45:46 TRAFFIC USED TO HAVE AT OUR HOTEL PROPERTIES.
18:45:52 YOU HEARD AARON FROM AC ON BOY SCOUT BOULEVARD DESCRIBE
18:45:55 WHAT IS NOW HAPPENING WITH HIS PARKING.
18:45:57 WE ARE FINDING MORE AND MORE THAT WHERE THERE IS
18:46:01 LIMITED MEETING SPACE IN THE FACILITY, THAT THE NEED
18:46:05 FOR PARKING OR THE IMPACT OF OVERFLOW PARKING IS
18:46:10 DRAMATICALLY OFFSET BY THESE TRANSPORTATION APPS, EVEN
18:46:14 TAXIS NOW OPERATE WITH THIS APP TECHNOLOGY.
18:46:19 THIRDLY, WHAT WE ALSO -- WHAT WE WILL SHARE WITH YOU IS
18:46:23 THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT HOW THIS PROPERTY WILL ULTIMATELY
18:46:27 OPERATE, ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF THESE HOTELS AND THE
18:46:31 HOTEL INDUSTRY IS JOB CREATION.
18:46:34 NOT JUST HIGH-END JOBS.
18:46:39 B FROM ENTRY LEVEL, REQUIRING HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMAS TO
18:46:39 GRADUATE DEGREES.
18:46:43 AS A COMMUNITY, AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW, IT IS SO
18:46:47 IMPORTANT THAT WE GIVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE WHO
18:46:50 ARE RESIDENTS OF THIS CITY TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
18:46:54 WORK AND THE BUSINESSES AS THEY -- THAT THEY WORK FOR
18:46:56 HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GROW.
18:47:01 FINALLY I WILL CLOSE WITH THIS OBSERVATION.
18:47:07 IN 1982, THERE WAS A VERY CLEAR UNDERSTANDING THAT
18:47:13 THERE WAS A DEMARCATION BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL SOUTH
18:47:17 NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE MORE COMMERCIAL NORTH NEIGHBORHOOD
18:47:21 OR NORTH SECTION OF THE ISLAND.
18:47:24 AS A RESULT, WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE IS YOU COMPATIBLE.
18:47:25 THANK YOU.
18:47:33 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, SIR.
18:47:38 >> GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS FRAN LAVANDERA.
18:47:39 I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.
18:47:41 A 30-YEAR RESIDENT.
18:47:44 MY DECEASED HUSBAND WAS AN ORIGINAL HOMEOWNER THERE AND
18:47:48 PRESIDENT OF THE HARBOUR ISLAND HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION
18:47:52 WHICH MR. REFERENCE MENTIONED IS THE SEVEN-STORY
18:47:56 CONDOMINIUMS IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE HEALTH CLUB.
18:47:58 I THINK IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO REALIZE WHEN
18:48:01 HE STATES THAT THE HOTEL IS -- THAT OUR GATE IS SOUTH
18:48:02 OF THE HOTEL.
18:48:04 IT IS IMMEDIATELY SOUTH.
18:48:07 IT IS ABOUT ONE CAR LENGTH FROM THEIR LOADING DOCK.
18:48:10 AND NOW THE SHARED PARKING BETWEEN THE HEALTH CLUB AND
18:48:12 THAT BUILDING.
18:48:14 HALF OF THE PEOPLE THAT GO TO THE HEALTH CLUB AT A
18:48:16 MINIMUM LIVE ON HARBOUR ISLAND.
18:48:20 THEY ARE ALREADY TRAVELLING TO THE ISLAND.
18:48:24 I JUST DO NOT SEE HOW THIS IN ANY WAY BE BENEFICIAL TO
18:48:24 US.
18:48:26 I THINK IT IS GOING TO IMPACT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
18:48:29 AND, AGAIN, I THINK THAT IS THE IMPORTANT WORD
18:48:29 "NEIGHBORHOOD."
18:48:33 THIS IS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
18:48:37 THIS IS WHERE WE TRAVEL IN AND OUT EVERY DAY.
18:48:40 AND THE TRAFFIC IS HORRENDOUS ALREADY.
18:48:43 IT WAS VERY NAIVE OF THAT GENTLEMAN FROM THE AC OF
18:48:48 WESTSHORE TO COMPARE HIS HOTEL FOR WHAT THIS WILL
18:48:50 PROSPECTIVELY BE.
18:48:53 IF YOU TRAVEL ANYWHERE OFF OF THE ISLAND IN CHANNELSIDE
18:48:57 IF THERE IS AN EVENT, A FOOTBALL GAME, A HOCKEY GAME, A
18:48:58 CONVENTION.
18:49:00 PEOPLE ARE LINED UP TO GET INTO THE MARRIOTT.
18:49:03 THEY ARE LINED UP TO GET INTO THE HARBOUR ISLAND HOTEL
18:49:06 TO REGISTER, THE EMBASSY SUITES, ALL OF THEM.
18:49:09 THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING TO BRING TO OUR DATE.
18:49:12 THE COMIC CON PEOPLE, THE METRO CON PEOPLE.
18:49:17 ALL OF THE CONVENTIONERS THEY ARE PROPOSING TO BRING TO
18:49:20 OUR GATE, THE FRONT DOORS OF OUR HOME.
18:49:21 THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
18:49:25 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
18:49:28 >> GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE CHAIRMAN CITRO.
18:49:30 HONORABLE MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL, CITY STAFF AND
18:49:34 OBVIOUSLY THE PUBLIC HERE WARM APPROXIMATING.
18:49:42 SANTIAGO CORRATO.
18:49:44 >> THE OF -- TAMPA BAY.
18:49:47 TOUR CIVIL A ECONOMIC DRIVE FOR US.
18:49:50 OVER THE LAST TEN OR SO YEARS, WE HAVE BUILT A
18:49:54 DESTINATION BRAND THAT HAS REACHED EPIC PROPORTIONS
18:49:58 VISITATION FROM LEISURE TRAVELERS, INTERNATIONAL,
18:50:01 CONVENTIONS, EVENTS AND MEETINGS.
18:50:04 I WILL SAY SO SUCCESSFUL THAT RIGHT NOW HOTEL OCCUPANCY
18:50:08 IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY IS IN THE HIGH 80S.
18:50:10 MEANING THAT THE CONVENTION CENTER THAT WE ARE SPENDING
18:50:15 TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON COLLECTIVELY, AND WE CAN
18:50:20 ALL SEE THAT, REALLY NEEDS MORE HOTEL INVENTORY.
18:50:23 YOU KNOW I -- I AM VERY SENSITIVE TO MY FRIENDS ON
18:50:23 HARBOUR ISLAND.
18:50:29 I SERVED AS A NEIGHBORHOOD ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE CITY
18:50:31 OF TAMPA AND CHIEF OF STAFF AND I UNDERSTAND ALL THE
18:50:32 PERSPECTIVES.
18:50:34 I THINK WHEN OVER 30 YEARS AGO THE CITY INVESTED IN A
18:50:38 CONVENTION CENTER, THIS WAS THE NEARBY DEVELOPMENT THAT
18:50:42 THAT CONVENTION CENTER WAS SUPPOSED TO DRIVE.
18:50:48 HOTELS THAT WOULD BE FILLED WITH CONVENTIONEERS AND
18:50:51 MEETINGS THAT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO OUR ECONOMY.
18:50:55 QUITE HONESTLY A HOTEL PROPERTY IS NOT JUST A HOTEL
18:50:57 PROPERTY AND DOES NOT JUST PROVIDE JOBS TO OUR
18:50:58 NEIGHBORS.
18:51:01 THAT PROPERTY WILL PAY CITY AND COUNTY TAXES.
18:51:02 WILL BUY WATER FROM THE CITY.
18:51:05 WILL PAY THE CITY FOR WASTE SERVICES.
18:51:09 AND ALSO WILL PAY TECO FOR POWER AND ELECTRIC WHICH
18:51:12 MEANS THAT WE ARE ALSO BENEFITING FROM THOSE TAXES AND
18:51:17 QUITE HONESTLY, THE REASON ALL FLORIDIANS HAVE NO NORTH
18:51:20 CAROLINA TAX IS BECAUSE TOUR CIVIL A DRIVER TO OUR
18:51:22 SALES TAX.
18:51:25 AND OUR CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER IN THE STATE HAVE HAD
18:51:29 OVER A QUARTER OF FLORIDA SALES TAX IS DERIVED FROM
18:51:30 VISITORS.
18:51:33 AND SO THESE ARE INDIVIDUALS THAT COME AND SUPPORT OUR
18:51:36 QUALITY OF LIFE AND WE DON'T HAVE TO PROVIDE SERVICES
18:51:36 FOR.
18:51:39 SO I APOLOGIZE TO MY GOOD FRIENDS IN HARBOUR ISLAND
18:51:43 MANY SAY GOOD JOB IN YOUR TESTIMONY TONIGHT.
18:51:46 BUT ECONOMICALLY AND FOR THE SUPPORT OF OUR TAMPA
18:51:51 CONVENTION CENTER, ANOTHER HOTEL IS NEEDED, AND
18:51:55 UNFORTUNATELY, IT IS WITHIN THE VICINITY OF THE TAMPA
18:51:56 CONVENTION CENTER.
18:51:57 I WANT TO THANK YOU.
18:52:00 GREAT TO BE BACK HOME EVEN UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.
18:52:02 IT HAS BEEN NINE YEARS SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE.
18:52:05 AND IT IS ALWAYS AN HONOR TO APPEAR BEFORE YOU.
18:52:07 THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING ME WITH THE OPPORTUNITY.
18:52:12 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
18:52:14 >> HI, SUSAN DOYLE.
18:52:17 I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.
18:52:21 I LIVE AT 948 HEMINGWAY CIRCLE.
18:52:24 FOR -- IT IS ACTUALLY OUR SECOND RESIDENCE.
18:52:27 WE HAVE BEEN THERE 18 YEARS ON HARBOUR ISLAND.
18:52:30 I WANT TO MAKE A COUPLE OF VERY IMPORTANT POINTS, BUT
18:52:33 NOT BE REDUNDANT.
18:52:37 FIRST OF ALL, I AM -- I AM AN EXPERT ON LIVING ON
18:52:41 HARBOUR ISLAND BUT I AM NOT A EXPERT WITNESS NOR ARE
18:52:45 ANY THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE TESTIFIED WHO DON'T EVEN
18:52:49 LIVE ON HARBOUR ISLAND, SUCH AS THE GENTLEMAN FROM
18:52:51 DAVIS ISLAND AND OTHERS.
18:52:57 BUT I JUST -- I DID SOME RESEARCH ON VISION IMAGINE
18:52:59 2040, TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
18:53:05 AND I SAW SOME IMPORTANT HIGHLIGHTS.
18:53:07 DEFINING WHAT A LIVABLE CITY IS.
18:53:09 IT FEELS SAFE.
18:53:13 THIS PROPOSAL WILL NOT MAKE OVER 3,000 RESIDENTS NOR
18:53:18 ANY OF THE PEDESTRIANS OR THE SCOOTERS, THE PEDESTRIANS
18:53:21 WHO VISIT THE CONVENTION CENTER FEEL VERY SAFE.
18:53:24 I CAN ASSURE YOU OF THAT.
18:53:27 THE -- THIS HOTEL WILL NOT OFFER THIS SORT OF
18:53:31 OPPORTUNITY THAT 40 YEARS OF HOMEOWNERS WHO ARE PAID
18:53:36 SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY TAXES AND HAVE BEEN THE DRIVER OF
18:53:38 -- OF OUR DOWNTOWN AREA.
18:53:43 I MEAN, WHEN JEFF -- WHEN SPP BOUGHT THE 40 ACRES,
18:53:44 THERE WERE EMPTY PARKING LOTS.
18:53:47 SO WHO IS TALKING ABOUT AN ECONOMIC DRIVER.
18:53:49 WE WERE THE DRIVERS OF DOWNTOWN.
18:53:55 AND WE CREATED A SAFE LITTLE COMMUNITY FOR OURSELVES.
18:53:58 THE OTHER THING IS, A LIVABLE CITY HAS TO BE
18:54:00 ATTRACTIVE.
18:54:02 THIS PROPOSAL IS NOT ATTRACTIVE AT ALL.
18:54:07 AND I WELCOME MISS HURTAK, WHO DIME VISIT OUR AREA.
18:54:10 BALK YOU CAN SEE THE LINE OF DEMARCATION.
18:54:13 SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD IS A PRIVATE COMMUNITY.
18:54:15 THAT IS WHO WE ARE.
18:54:21 3,000 OF US, WALKING AREAS, DOG WALKING, CHILDREN WHO
18:54:25 WAIT FOR BUSES TWICE A DAY, TRANSPORTED.
18:54:28 THIS HOTEL WILL PUT ALL OF US AT RISK.
18:54:35 AND SO I SAY ONE LAST THING TO YOU.
18:54:38 YOU, THE CITY COUNCIL, YOU ARE OUR GUARDIANS.
18:54:43 WE HAVE GIVEN YOU THROUGH OUR VOTES CONSERVATORSHIP OF
18:54:45 ALL THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY.
18:54:51 DO THE RIGHT THING, PLEASE.
18:54:55 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
18:54:58 >> SAM HALLENBECK.
18:55:01 I HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT OF HARBOUR ISLAND FOR 23 YEARS.
18:55:03 AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
18:55:08 MY BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THIS PROJECT IS PRIMARILY WHERE
18:55:11 IT IS BEING PLACED AND THE ORIENTATION OF IT.
18:55:13 THAT IS OUR WEST GATE.
18:55:17 AND WE WILL BE STARING AS WE ENTER THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AS
18:55:20 WE LEAVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD SQUARELY INTO THE REAR ENDS
18:55:24 OF THIS THING GIVEN THE GARBAGE AREA.
18:55:27 AND ALL THE HARDWARE, THE PIPING, THE DUMPSTERS, THE
18:55:30 GREASE TRAPS AND THE LIKE ALL SET TO THE TUNE OF
18:55:33 BEEPING TRASH TRUCKS, DELIVERY TRUCKS AND ROARING
18:55:35 EXHAUST FANS.
18:55:38 LET'S NOT FORGET THE FAY LOS ANGELES.
18:55:43 SECURITY LIGHTS THAT WILL STAIR US STRAIGHT INTO --
18:55:45 STARE US STRAIGHT INTO THE WINDOWS.
18:55:48 THEY SAID THEY WILL KEEP THE GARAGE DOOR CLOSE $.
18:55:51 YOU LOOK THROUGH THE CITY OF TAMPA AND THE HIGH-RISES,
18:55:53 MOST OF THE TIME THEY ARE NOT CLOSED.
18:55:55 THEY ARE WIDE OPEN WITH THE PIPING AND OTHER STUFF
18:55:57 GOING ON.
18:55:59 THE DEVELOPERS SAY THE LOT IS MIXED USE.
18:56:02 WE HAVE BEEN TALKING A LOT ABOUT MIXED USE TONIGHT.
18:56:06 AND THAT ABSOLUTELY NEGATES THE ISLAND'S EXECUTION.
18:56:09 EVERYTHING SOUTH OF THE KNIGHT'S RUN MEDIAN IS BY
18:56:13 DESIGN A PARK-LIKE SUBURBAN OASIS IN THE MIDDLE.
18:56:16 CITY AND THAT LAND DOES NOT SERVE AS AN EXTENSION OF
18:56:20 THE CITY'S DOWNTOWN INDUSTRIAL AESTHETICS.
18:56:24 IF THIS HOTEL GOES UP IT WILL SPIT INTO THE COLLECTIVE
18:56:28 FACE OF EVERYTHING WE BUILT THERE AND DOES NOTHING MORE
18:56:31 THAN TO PAVE THE WAY FOR ONE GROUP OF INVESTORS TO MAKE
18:56:34 THE BUCK OF THE EXPENSE OF 3,000 PEOPLE WHO LIVE FULL
18:56:36 TIME BACK BEHIND THOSE GATES AND NOTHING SHORT OF
18:56:37 PATHETIC.
18:56:39 THANK YOU.
18:56:43 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
18:56:45 >> MY NAME IS WAYNE CURTIS.
18:56:48 I LIVE AT 330 INNER HARBOR CIRCLE IN HARBOUR ISLAND
18:56:51 WITH MY WIFE, ROSEMARY.
18:56:53 THE BEAUTIFUL WOMAN BEHIND ME.
18:56:56 AND I ACTUALLY THINK A LOT OF WHAT THE SPEAKERS SAID
18:57:01 THAT WERE PRO THE HOTEL IS REASONABLE.
18:57:05 BUT THERE IS ONE ITEM THAT HAS BEEN MENTIONED BUT I
18:57:09 JUST REALLY WANT TO DRIVE HOME THE FACT THE HOTEL IS
18:57:10 HERE.
18:57:13 THE GATE TO HARBOUR ISLAND IS LITERALLY -- I THINK IF
18:57:17 YOU GET PROBABLY THREE CARS, ALL THOSE TRUCKS WON'T BE
18:57:20 ABLE TO TURN INTO THE ENTRANCE, THE SHARED ENTRANCE
18:57:25 WITH HARBOUR ISLAND ATHLETIC CLUB WITH THE HOTEL.
18:57:27 IT WILL CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC BACK-UP.
18:57:30 I WOULD SAY IF THEY CAN SOMEHOW BRING ALL THE TRUCKS
18:57:35 OFF OF ABBEY'S WAY, I WOULD FEEL LIKE I AM CUTTING OFF
18:57:37 PART OF MY FARM A COMPROMISE.
18:57:39 I WOULD GIVE THEM -- I GOOD WOULD GRANT THEM THAT
18:57:40 HOTEL.
18:57:42 BUT THE GATE ENTRANCE IS LITERALLY RIGHT HERE.
18:57:46 THE TRUCK ENTRANCE -- MIGHT BE TWO OR THREE CARS BACK.
18:57:49 THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TURN IN.
18:57:53 IT WILL BE CATASTROPHIC AND THEN OF COURSE THE KIDS AND
18:57:54 THE BUSES.
18:57:56 THAT IS AN ISSUE.
18:57:57 THAT COULD ALWAYS BE WORKED OUT.
18:58:00 I AM TELLING YOU -- I KNOW YOU SAW THE ENTRANCE.
18:58:04 YOU GO THERE AT 8:00 IN THE MORNING, 9:00, 10:00 IN THE
18:58:04 MORNING.
18:58:05 THERE ARE PLUMBER TRUCKS.
18:58:07 CARPENTER TRUCKS.
18:58:08 LAWN SERVICE TRUCKS.
18:58:09 WHATEVER.
18:58:10 THEY ARE JUST NO WAY.
18:58:14 SO I WILL TELL THEM IF THEY COULD MAKE THE ENTRANCE OFF
18:58:18 OF KNIGHT'S RUN FOR THE TRUCKS, I CAN LIVE WITH IT, BUT
18:58:21 TO ME THAT IS THE SINGLE BIGGEST -- IT WILL BE
18:58:22 CATASTROPHIC.
18:58:26 IT WILL BE GRIDLOCK AND OBVIOUSLY WHEN THE CONSTRUCTION
18:58:28 GOES ON, WE ARE ALL ABOUT TO LIVE THROUGH THAT PAIN IF
18:58:30 IT DOES HAPPEN.
18:58:31 I CAN EVEN LIVE WITH THAT.
18:58:34 BUT IT IS -- THAT ENTRANCE FOR THE TRUCKS AND THE
18:58:39 DELIVERY, UNLESS THEY SAID WE WILL HAVE IT DONE FROM 4
18:58:42 A.M. TO 7 A.M. AND WON'T LET IT COME IN.
18:58:45 THAT MAKES IT MORE ACCESSIBLE.
18:58:49 TO ME THE SINGLE BIGGEST THING IS THE CLUSTER TO GET ON
18:58:52 TO HARBOUR ISLAND AND THAT IS OUR ENTRANCE TO OUR HOME.
18:58:56 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
18:58:57 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
18:59:01 EXCUSE ME, SIR -- OKAY.
18:59:02 I AM SORRY.
18:59:03 COUNCILMAN VIERA.
18:59:05 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIR.
18:59:08 GIVE 'BECAUSE A COUPLE OF FOLKS HAVE BROUGHT UP THE
18:59:12 CONSTRUCTION ISSUE WHICH IS A VERY RELEVANT ISSUE ON
18:59:12 NUMEROUS GROUNDS.
18:59:16 BUT NUMBER ONE -- SOLO QUESTION.
18:59:20 WHAT RELEVANCY DOES THE CONSTRUCTION PERIOD HAVE ON
18:59:28 CRITERIA USED TO SUPPORT OR DENY A PROJECT?
18:59:30 I AM NEVER HEARD OF IT HAVING.
18:59:32 I WANTED TO MAKE SURE.
18:59:35 >>MARTIN SHELBY: WELL, COUNCIL, I BELIEVE -- I WAS
18:59:39 DISCUSSING THAT WITH MISS WELLS, AND IT -- MISS WELLS,
18:59:41 DO YOU WANT TO ADDRESS THAT PLEASE IN THE COMPREHENSIVE
18:59:46 PLAN.
18:59:49 >>CATE WELLS: THANK YOU, CATE WELLS, CHIEF ASSISTANT
18:59:50 CITY ATTORNEY.
18:59:54 I WILL HAVE TO DEFER TO STAFF IN INTERPRETING BOTH THE
18:59:57 CRITERIA IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AS WELL AS THE
18:59:58 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
19:00:02 WHEN FIRST RAISED, THE POLICY I THOUGHT ABOUT IN THE
19:00:05 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 9.3.8.
19:00:09 BUT AS I READ IT, I REALIZE WHAT IT SAYS IS, IT IS THE
19:00:11 INTENT OF THE CITY THAT NEW RESIDENTIAL REDEVELOPMENT
19:00:15 PROJECTS SHALL BE MINIMALLY DISRUPTIVE TO ADJACENT
19:00:16 AREAS.
19:00:19 THAT IS, OF COURSE, TALKING OF RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS AND
19:00:21 NOT A HOTEL OF THIS NATURE.
19:00:24 IF JENNIFER MALONE, IF SHE IS AWARE OF ANY POLICIES IN
19:00:28 THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WHERE THAT SPECIFIC ISSUE WOULD
19:00:30 COME INTO PLAY IN, I WOULD APPRECIATE IF SHE CAN
19:00:34 RESPOND TO THAT.
19:00:37 >>JENNIFER MALONE: JENNIFER MALONE -- THANK YOU,
19:00:38 JENNIFER MALONE WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
19:00:40 I WILL LOOK IN THE PLAN.
19:00:43 I AM UNAWARE OF ANY OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
19:00:47 THE ONE THAT MISS WELLS REFERENCED WAS THE FIRST ONE
19:00:48 THINK THAT THOUGHT OF TOO.
19:00:50 IF YOU GIVE ME A MOMENT I WILL LOOK INTO IT.
19:00:52 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ARE YOU FINISHED.
19:00:53 >>LUIS VIERA: IF I MAY.
19:00:56 I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY CLEARLY WE DON'T NEED AN ANSWER
19:00:59 NOW AND BETTER TO LOOK AT IT AND BE RIGHT THAN
19:01:02 OTHERWISE, I JUST NEVER CONSIDERED THAT IN JUDGING A
19:01:03 PROJECT.
19:01:05 AND I JUST WANTED TO ASK THAT QUESTION.
19:01:06 THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK.
19:01:08 THANK YOU.
19:01:12 >> THANKS.
19:01:14 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I AM SORRY, MADAM.
19:01:18 MISS MALONE, ARE YOU STILL THERE?
19:01:20 >>JENNIFER MALONE: I AM ALWAYS HERE.
19:01:22 YES, HOW CAN I HELP YOU.
19:01:27 >>JOSEPH CITRO: DID YOU HEAR MY QUESTION TO MISS
19:01:33 MANDELL EARLIER ABOUT WHETHER THE -- THE LINE OF
19:01:38 DEMARCATION BETWEEN THE -- THE INTENSITY AND THE
19:01:39 RESIDENTIAL.
19:01:42 WAS THAT SET BY DESIGN BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND
19:01:44 BY THE CITY?
19:01:46 AND IF SO, WHEN.
19:01:49 BUT WHEN YOU COME BACK TO EVEN COUNCILMAN VIERA, YOU
19:01:50 CAN ANSWER MINE.
19:01:51 PLEASE AND THANK YOU.
19:01:53 >>JENNIFER MALONE: SURE, THANK YOU.
19:01:54 I WILL BE BACK.
19:01:55 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
19:01:56 YES, MADAM.
19:01:58 THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.
19:01:58 >> SURE.
19:02:03 ROSEMARY CURTIS 330 INNER HARBOR CIRCLE.
19:02:06 WHEN I HEARD OF THE PROJECT, MY IMMEDIATE THOUGHT WAS
19:02:08 TRAFFIC AS YOU HEARD FROM EVERYBODY TODAY.
19:02:10 I MEAN, TRAFFIC IS -- TRAFFIC IS REALLY TOUGH.
19:02:15 A GRIDLOCK GETTING ON AND OFF THE ISLAND.
19:02:17 NOT JUST LIGHTNING GAMES BUT OUR SPORTING EVENTS,
19:02:21 CONCERTS AND CONVENTIONS.
19:02:22 THE CONVENTIONS ARE ROUTINE.
19:02:25 RIVER WALK, BOAT PARADES, FIREWORKS CELEBRATION.
19:02:28 ONGOING.
19:02:31 IT IS WONDERFUL, BUT CAUSES A LOT OF TRAFFIC FOR US.
19:02:36 SO YOU MIGHT SAY, OH, WELL THIS -- ONE MORE COMMERCIAL
19:02:37 PROJECT WILL MATTER.
19:02:40 EVERY COMMERCIAL PROJECT MATTERS TO OUR ABILITY TO GET
19:02:42 ON AND OFF THE ISLAND.
19:02:45 I HEARD TONIGHT TODAY ONE OF THE COMPARINGS TO US WITH
19:02:46 CHANNELSIDE.
19:02:48 WE ARE NOTHING LIKE CHANNELSIDE.
19:02:51 CHANNELSIDE IS A GRID.
19:02:55 A MILLION DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET TO POINT A TO POINT B.
19:02:59 WE HAVE ONE WAY TO GET ON AND OFF THE ISLAND.
19:03:04 MY LAST ITEM WAS THE MAIN AS MY HUSBAND'S.
19:03:05 THE ACCESS.
19:03:09 THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO HARBOUR ISLAND IS EXACTLY NEXT TO
19:03:12 WHERE THEY WILL BE GOING AND MY MAIN THING IS -- I
19:03:13 DON'T KNOW IF YOU WERE AWARE OF THAT.
19:03:16 SERVICE VEHICLE GOING ON TO HARBOUR ISLAND IS NOT
19:03:19 ALLOWED TO ENTER THROUGH THAT GATE.
19:03:23 NOW CURRENTLY, UNDER OUR EXISTING SITUATION, THEY MUST
19:03:26 GO TO THE EAST GATE.
19:03:30 SO WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TAKING PROBABLY BIGGER SERVICE
19:03:33 VEHICLES, FUNNELLING THEM INTO THE GUEST LANE WHICH IS
19:03:38 ALREADY BACKED UP, PULLING INTO A VERY TIGHT TURN ON TO
19:03:39 THE PROPERTY.
19:03:42 WHEN I SAW THE SERVICE ENTRANCE, I WAS APPALLED.
19:03:47 TO GO INTO -- PULL THROUGH INTO THE ATHLETIC CLUB
19:03:51 ENTRANCE WITH ALL THE ATHLETIC CLUB MEMBERS OF WHICH I
19:03:56 WAS ONE AND INTO THE SERVICE AREA UNDER THE HOTEL IS A
19:03:58 VERY, VERY TIGHT AREA.
19:04:04 THAT, I THINK, WAS THE MOST -- THE MOST INAPPROPRIATE
19:04:08 THING I SAW IN THE PROJECT WAS WHERE THE SERVICE
19:04:09 ENTRANCE IS.
19:04:14 AND AGAIN, THERE WILL BE SPILLOVER FROM THAT HOTEL INTO
19:04:18 THE HARBOUR ISLAND AND ALREADY IS WITH AMERICAN SOCIAL
19:04:19 AND JACKSONS.
19:04:24 ALREADY PEOPLE PARKING UNAUTHORIZED IN THE HARBOUR
19:04:25 ISLAND LOT.
19:04:28 IMPLICATIONS OF HAVING EVERYTHING IN THIS VERY, VERY
19:04:28 TIGHT ZONE.
19:04:32 I WANT TO LEAVE WITH YOU THIS REMINDER, OUR SERVICE
19:04:35 VEHICLES CURRENTLY DO NOT GO IN THAT ENTRANCE.
19:04:35 THANK YOU.
19:04:39 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
19:04:41 >> I AM CHRISTIE WENSON.
19:04:44 316 INNER HARBOR CIRCLE.
19:04:47 A COMMERCIAL INTERIOR DESIGNER.
19:04:50 I WORKED LOCALLY -- I DO CONSULTING WORKS FOR VETERAN
19:04:52 AFFAIRS, MOSTLY OUT IN CALIFORNIA.
19:04:55 I ONLY LIVED IN HARBOUR ISLAND AND I LIVED THERE 22
19:04:57 YEARS NOW.
19:04:59 AND -- SO I HAVE SEEN THE GROWTH AND, YES, IT IS A
19:05:03 STRUGGLE WITH THE TRAFFIC AND ALL THAT, BUT BESIDES THE
19:05:07 TRAFFIC, WE ARE AN UNIQUE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:05:10 YOU KNOW, IT'S -- IT IS JUST SO UNIQUE TO HAVE THE
19:05:11 RESIDENCES.
19:05:14 I LOVE THE QUIET, YOU KNOW -- I AM IN THE BUSTLE BUT I
19:05:19 COME BACK ON TO HARBOUR ISLAND AND IT IS LIKE WHEW,
19:05:21 ZEN.
19:05:24 ADDING A HOTEL WILL JUST TAKE AWAY FROM EVERYTHING THAT
19:05:27 WE LOVE AND APPRECIATE ABOUT HARBOUR ISLAND.
19:05:30 AND THEY CLAIM THEY ARE LISTENING TO US.
19:05:33 IT WASN'T UPROAR IN THE LAST MEETING.
19:05:37 I MEAN, I BARELY SPOKE -- HEARD ANYONE THAT WANTS THIS
19:05:37 HOTEL.
19:05:39 THEY CLAIM BOUTIQUE HOTEL.
19:05:45 IF YOU LOOK UP "BOUTIQUE" IT IS TYPICALLY TEN TO 100
19:05:45 ROOMS.
19:05:48 THIS IS -- WHAT, 250.
19:05:50 SO A LOT MORE THAN A BOUTIQUE HOTEL.
19:05:51 BOUTIQUE HOTEL.
19:05:53 IT IS NOT UNIQUE.
19:05:56 IT IS A LOT OF THE CURRENTS DESIGN GOING ON ANYWHERE
19:06:01 YOU GO ON TO ANY CITY.
19:06:04 AND TRAFFIC -- I MEAN, WE DO -- YOU AGAIN, A LOT OF
19:06:06 PEOPLE ADDRESSED THE GATE.
19:06:09 IF OFF LINE OF THREE CARS WAITING TO GET INTO HARBOUR
19:06:14 ISLAND, IT BLOCKS PEOPLE THAT ARE IN LINE TRYING TO GET
19:06:19 INTO THE ATHLETIC CLUB OR THE FUTURE HOTEL.
19:06:22 I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WITH THE VALET, HOW ARE THEY GOING
19:06:27 TO VAT DATE THE PURPOSE OF YOUR VISIT AND PROTECT
19:06:29 PEOPLE FROM PARKING THERE FOR EVENTS.
19:06:32 ARE THEY GOING TO QUESTION THEM, OH, NO -- PEOPLE ARE
19:06:34 GOING TO LIE.
19:06:37 AND I WOULDN'T CONSIDER US THE URBAN CORE.
19:06:41 WE ARE, AGAIN, UNIQUE OUTSKIRTS.
19:06:41 WE ARE RESIDENCES.
19:06:45 YES WE ARE -- IF WE ARE GOING TO HAVE GROWTH, I WOULD
19:06:48 RATHER SEE IT ZONED AS IT IS OR MIXED USE WITH MORE
19:06:51 RESIDENCES, RESTAURANTS AND THINGS THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY
19:06:55 USE.
19:06:56 THANK YOU.
19:07:03 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
19:07:09 >> COUNCILMEMBERS, DR. ROBERT MADDALON, RESIDENT 903
19:07:10 MARINER WAY.
19:07:13 I BOUGHT A CONDO IN 1987.
19:07:15 BUILT A HOUSE THERE IN 1992.
19:07:18 AND I ASK TO YOU VOTE AGAINST THIS PROPOSAL.
19:07:23 I SPEAK FOR MYSELF, MY WIFE AND THREE COLLEGE-AGED
19:07:28 CHILDREN ALL REGISTERED VOTERS AT THIS ADDRESS.
19:07:31 SOME OF THIS WILL BE REDUNDANT, BUT IN HOTEL WILL
19:07:34 STICK OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB ONCE YOU CROSS A BRIDGE
19:07:38 FROM HARBOUR ISLAND OVER ON TO HARBOUR ISLAND.
19:07:42 THAT IS OUR MAIN ENTRY POINT FOR HUNDREDS OF HOMES AND
19:07:44 CONDOS.
19:07:47 I WATCH A DEVELOPER ON ZOOM.
19:07:48 THEIR PRESENTATION.
19:07:51 I ATTENDED IT IN PERSON.
19:07:52 THERE ARE STAFFERS.
19:07:55 TRAFFIC STAFFERS SAID THAT -- I SPOKE WITH MR. COHEN IN
19:07:56 PERSON.
19:08:00 HE SAID IT WON'T INCREASE THE TRAFFIC ANYMORE THAN THAT
19:08:01 BANK DID.
19:08:02 WELL, I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
19:08:05 THE BANK WAS RARELY USED.
19:08:09 TO COMPARE THAT TO A 150-ROOM, 24-HOUR HOTEL WITH A
19:08:14 RESTAURANT, BUSINESS MEETINGS, SUPPLIERS, WASTE
19:08:16 DISPOSAL IS INCORRECT, IN MY OPINION.
19:08:22 THERE ARE OCCASIONAL BACK-UPS -- I KNOW THIS IS
19:08:23 REDUNDANT.
19:08:27 OCCASIONAL BACK-UPS NOW INTO THE MAIN ENTRY GATE WHICH
19:08:29 YOU HEARD 20 TIMES SO FAR TODAY.
19:08:34 I FIND IT IRONIC THAT THE ARCHITECTS PICTURE OF THE
19:08:38 CURRENT ENTRY WAY SHOWS A THREE-CAR BACK-UP AT THE MAIN
19:08:38 GATE.
19:08:43 NOW IF YOU ADD HOTEL DELIVERIES, WASTE DISPOSAL, HOTEL
19:08:46 GUESTS USING THE BACK WAY, ALL TRAVELING ON SOUTH
19:08:50 HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD, AND MAKING A LEFT, THAT
19:08:54 CONGESTION IS -- BECOMES MUCH WORSE AND IN ADDITION TO
19:08:59 THE PEOPLE WHO ATTEND HARBOUR ISLAND ATHLETIC CLUB.
19:09:04 WE -- MY FAMILY AND I DO NOT THINK THAT 150-ROOM HOTEL
19:09:07 WILL BENEFIT THE HUNDREDS OF -- OR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
19:09:12 BEHIND THE GATES ON HARBOUR ISLAND WHO ARE HARMFUL TO
19:09:13 THEM.
19:09:16 THE DEVELOPERS PURCHASED A SMALL LOT AND WANT TO
19:09:17 MAXIMIZE HIS INVESTMENT.
19:09:21 I DON'T BLAME HIM FOR THAT; HOWEVER, THE HUNDREDS OF
19:09:25 HOMEOWNERS AND CONDO OWNERS BEHIND THE GATES ALSO WANT
19:09:29 TO MAINTAIN THEIR CURRENT ENTRY GATEWAY AND VISTA AND
19:09:31 MAINTAIN AND MAXIMIZE THEIR INVESTMENT.
19:09:34 I DON'T THINK THOSE TWO THINGS ARE COMPATIBLE.
19:09:38 ONCE AGAIN, WE ASK TO YOU VOTE DOWN THIS PROPOSAL.
19:09:40 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
19:09:40 NEXT SPEAKER.
19:09:42 PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
19:09:45 >> MY NAME IS BETH ROTHBARTH.
19:09:49 344 INNER HARBOR CIRCLE.
19:09:51 PREVIOUS TO MOVING TO TAMPA, I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR SIX
19:09:52 YEARS.
19:09:54 I LIVE ON HARBOUR ISLAND OBVIOUSLY.
19:09:56 AND I USED TO WORK IN REAL ESTATE.
19:10:00 ECONOMIC FORECASTING, FEASIBILITY STUDIES FOR
19:10:03 DEVELOPERS, INVESTORS, AND ALSO THE GOVERNMENT.
19:10:05 I AM NOT GOING TO BE REDUNDANT.
19:10:08 I AM REALLY GOING TO DISCUSS RIDE SHARES.
19:10:11 BECAUSE THINGS HAVE REALLY CHANGED SINCE AMERICAN
19:10:12 SOCIAL OPENED.
19:10:16 AND THE RIDE SHARES LINING UP TO GET PEOPLE IN AND OUT
19:10:18 AND DROPPED OFF.
19:10:23 THE UBERS, THE LYFTS, THE TRAFFIC IS HORRENDOUS
19:10:27 WHENEVER THERE IS ANYTHING MAJOR GOING ON.
19:10:29 THESE DRIVERS DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE.
19:10:30 THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THERE.
19:10:33 THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO PULL OVER.
19:10:37 THIS HOTEL ON THIS TINY LITTLE POSTAGE STAMP OF A
19:10:41 PROPERTY, WHERE ARE THESE UBERS AND LYFTS GOING TO LINE
19:10:42 UP AND WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO GO.
19:10:44 LET'S SAY THEY GET LOST.
19:10:47 I WANT TO TALK ABOUT TWO WEEKENDS AGO OPINION NO HOCKEY
19:10:48 GAME.
19:10:50 MAY HAVE BEEN SOMETHING GOING ON AT THE CONVENTION
19:10:51 CENTER.
19:10:54 BUT THERE WAS NO HOCKEY TRAFFIC.
19:10:58 AND I COULDN'T MAKE A RIGHT-HAND TURN INTO THE WEST
19:10:58 GATE.
19:11:02 I HAD TO TWICE GO ALL THE WAY AROUND AND GO TO THE EAST
19:11:05 GATE BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC WAS SO SUBSTANTIAL.
19:11:08 THERE WAS ALSO AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE -- AND I KNOW
19:11:11 SOMEBODY ELSE MENTIONED THAT -- STUCK ON THE BRIDGE
19:11:14 WITH THEIR LIGHTS ON.
19:11:15 NOWHERE TO GO.
19:11:18 AND EVERYONE IS JUST SITTING STILL.
19:11:21 SO I THINK THERE IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVED HERE.
19:11:24 SO I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION
19:11:26 AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
19:11:34 AND VOTE AGAINST IT.
19:11:36 >> GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL.
19:11:40 RICK MAHARIS AND THE FOUNDER AND OWNER OF AMERICAN BAR
19:11:42 AND KITCHEN IN HARBOUR ISLAND.
19:11:44 I HAVE BEEN A TENANT THERE SINCE 2017.
19:11:48 AND I AM VERY PROUD OF HOW THE COMMUNITY HAS WELCOMED
19:11:52 ME TO JOIN THE HOSPITALITY SECTOR OF DOWNTOWN.
19:11:56 I HAVE PREPARED A FEW WORDS AND I WOULD LIKE TO GO ON
19:11:59 RECORD TO SPEAK THAT TIME IN FAVOR AND HOPE YOU WILL
19:12:05 CONSIDER APPROVING THIS BEAUTIFUL NEW HOTEL.
19:12:09 THIS BUSINESS AND ITS CLIENTELE THAT THIS BEAUTIFUL NEW
19:12:11 HOTEL WILL BRING TO BOTH HARBOUR ISLAND AND DOWNTOWN
19:12:14 TAMPA WILL BE EXCEPTIONAL FOR ALL OF US AS STATED BY
19:12:18 THE GENTLEMAN SANTIAGO AS IT PERTAIN TO THE TOURIST
19:12:22 INDUSTRY, CONVENTION CENTER AND THE RESTAURANTS, NOT
19:12:25 JUST MYSELF AND JACKSON'S THAT SPOKE BUT A HANDFUL OF
19:12:28 OTHER RESTAURANTS ON THE ISLAND THAT WOULD LOVE
19:12:30 ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC BROUGHT TO THE ISLAND.
19:12:34 AS A TENANT OF THAT ISLAND FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS, I
19:12:38 HAVE BEEN VERY ACTIVE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND SPEND A
19:12:41 GREAT AMOUNT OF TIME ON HARBOUR ISLAND.
19:12:43 ASIDE FROM THE HANDFUL OF EVENTS AT THE CONVENTION
19:12:48 CENTER AND THE AMALIE ARENA, VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC IMPACT
19:12:52 THAT HAS BEEN CONTRIBUTED BY MY BUSINESS [BOOING]
19:12:56 -- [GAVEL SOUNDING]
19:12:56 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
19:13:00 DON'T -- DON'T ENTICE, JUST SPEAK TO US.
19:13:03 >> SPEAKING FROM MY PERSPECTIVE.
19:13:07 I AM AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THE
19:13:09 COMMUNITY AND THE LOCAL BUSINESSES THAT SERVICE OUR
19:13:10 COMMUNITY.
19:13:12 I TRULY BELIEVE THAT PROJECT WILL ADD BOTH PROJECTS TO
19:13:15 HARBOUR ISLAND AND SERVICE THIS COMMUNITY AND HARBOUR
19:13:19 ISLAND IN A PROFESSIONAL AND VALUE-ADDING MANNER.
19:13:23 THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY SERVES US ALL.
19:13:27 AND I HOPE YOU WILL STRONGLY ENCOURAGE SUPPORTING THERE
19:13:27 PROJECT.
19:13:29 THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
19:13:33 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
19:13:35 >> COUNCIL, MY NAME IS SCOTT HARRISON.
19:13:38 AND I AM A HARBOUR ISLAND RESIDENT, AND I HAVE BEEN
19:13:38 SWORN IN.
19:13:42 I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT ANOTHER LIST THAT TAMPA HAS
19:13:43 MADE.
19:13:48 TAMPA IS IN THE TOP TEN OF PEDESTRIAN, AUTOMOBILE
19:13:50 FATALITIES IN THE COUNTRY.
19:13:54 AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT FATALITIES PER 100,000 PEOPLE,
19:13:56 WE ARE NUMBER 3.
19:14:01 SO I ALSO -- AS MY MOM WILL SAY I USED THE GOOGLE AND
19:14:05 TRIED TO FIND PEDESTRIAN BIKE CRASHES.
19:14:08 I COULDN'T GET SPECIFIC DATA ON TAMPA, BUT TAMPA ST.
19:14:09 PETE IS NUMBER ONE.
19:14:15 AND SO I WOULD ASK YOU IN THAT CONTEXT AS YOU CONSIDER
19:14:19 THIS PROPOSAL, DO YOU WANT TO BE NUMBER ONE.
19:14:22 AND THE OTHER THING SKILL THAT YOU, DO YOU THINK THAT
19:14:27 ONE STORY BANK BUILDING AND 150-ROOM, 160-PARKING SPACE
19:14:30 HOTEL, IF YOU THINK THOSE ARE EQUAL IN TERMS OF THE
19:14:33 TRAFFIC PATTERN, THEN WE ARE WELL ON OUR WAY OF TAKING
19:14:36 THE TOP SPOT IN THIS NOTORIOUS LIST.
19:14:40 AND I WOULD ADD THAT THAT WILL AFFECT TOURISM.
19:14:41 IT WILL AFFECT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
19:14:44 SO THIS ISN'T JUST A SAFETY ISSUE.
19:14:53 THANK YOU.
19:14:56 >> ANDREI NIANTCOTEN.
19:15:00 1167 -- AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.
19:15:03 I DON'T WANT TO REPEAT MYSELF -- OR REPEAT THE OTHER
19:15:06 NOTIONS AND TOPICS THAT WERE DISCUSSED.
19:15:08 BUT HERE ARE SOME THINGS FOR YOUR ATTENTION.
19:15:12 I DON'T HAVE A SET AGENDA OF ANY KIND, BUT IF YOU WERE
19:15:15 TRYING TO MAKE TAMPA A BETTER PLACE, YOU HAVE AN EMPTY
19:15:15 LOT.
19:15:19 LOOK AT THE CORNER OF FRANKLIN AND CHANNELSIDE.
19:15:21 THAT LOT IS EMPTY.
19:15:24 YOU CAN TAKE THE PAVILION.
19:15:29 JOB OBJECTED TO THE JW MARRIOTT AND THE EPICURION AND
19:15:31 HYATT IN YBOR.
19:15:34 THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE HERE IS A LITMUS TEST THAT
19:15:35 SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT.
19:15:37 IT IS JUST -- THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE HAD SUCH A
19:15:42 RESISTANCE FROM SUCH A LARGE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE.
19:15:44 SOMETHING JUST DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT.
19:15:48 THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT HERE FOR NO REASON, OBVIOUSLY.
19:15:50 SO I HAVE BEEN LIVING HERE LONG ENOUGH TO REMIND YOU
19:15:54 THAT THE GATES WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED RIGHT NOW, THIS
19:15:57 IS NOT REALLY WHAT IS CONSIDERED SOUTH OF THE GATES.
19:16:00 GATES WERE ALMOST AT THE FOUR-WAY STOP SIGN.
19:16:05 IT WASN'T UNTIL 96 OR '97 THAT THESE GATES WERE PUSHED
19:16:08 BACK BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC ISSUES THAT WERE HAPPENING
19:16:09 ALL THE TIME.
19:16:14 AND SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY WAY TO PUSH BACK BEYOND THAT.
19:16:17 WHEN -- BEFORE THESE HIGH-RISES EXISTED OVER THERE WITH
19:16:20 THE LITTLE DAILY PLACE BY THE WATERSIDE, ALL THAT
19:16:21 STUFF IS GONE.
19:16:24 LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE DON'T HAVE A WAY TO PUSH BACK
19:16:25 ANY LONGER.
19:16:30 AND FOR THOSE OF HOW ARE BELIEVERS OF INDIANA SEND ITED
19:16:34 CONSEQUENCES, I WILL TELL THAT YOU I MAY BE THE
19:16:35 DOOMSDAY GUY.
19:16:39 20 YEARS FROM NOW, IF YOU ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN.
19:16:43 THIS WILL TURN OUT TO BE THE TROJAN HORSE THAT SET THE
19:16:47 INITIAL PRECEDENCE WHEN THE ATHLETIC CLUB WANTS TO
19:16:49 BUILD A 20-STORY HIGH-RISE.
19:16:52 THIS WILL BE USE AS A PRECEDENT TO SAY, WELL, WE
19:16:53 ALLOWED THIS THING.
19:16:57 WE WILL KEEN ALLOWING MORE AND MORE OF THIS TO HAPPEN.
19:17:02 SO I DON'T KNOW WHICH GENERAL OR ROMAN EMPEROR SAID A
19:17:07 WELL ORGANIZED MINORITY WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL ABOVE A --
19:17:09 ABOVE AN UNORGANIZED MAJORITY.
19:17:12 YOU SEE HOW ORGANIZED AND FUNDED THESE PEOPLE ARE.
19:17:15 WE BROUGHT -- WE BROUGHT SOME CRONIES HERE AND GUYS OF
19:17:17 INDEPENDENT OPINIONS.
19:17:21 THEY ARE EXTREMELY ORGANIZED.
19:17:25 I GUESS IF I AM A COUNCILMAN AND HAVING DRINKS WITH MY
19:17:29 FAMILY TONIGHT, I CAN SEE IT AS, HEY, A GROUP OF RICH
19:17:31 PEOPLE AGAINST ANOTHER GROUP OF RICH PEOPLE HERE, BUT
19:17:35 FOR THE LIFE OF ME, LET'S NOT ALLOW A WELL ORGANIZED
19:17:37 MINORITY TO PREVAIL HERE.
19:17:38 THANK YOU.
19:17:42 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
19:17:45 >> GOOD EVENING.
19:17:48 I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN COME UP ON THE SCREEN OR NOT.
19:17:52 I AM MIKE GRATZ.
19:17:55 I LIVE WITH ON HARBOR BAY DRIVE.
19:17:57 A RESIDENT OF HARBOUR ISLAND.
19:18:00 THE CURRENT PRESIDENT OF HARBOUR ISLAND COMMUNITY
19:18:06 SERVICES O, REFERRED WHO AS HICSA.
19:18:08 I'M HERE TO SET THE RECORD FREIGHT WHAT IS THE CALL OF
19:18:10 MIXED USE HARBOUR ISLAND.
19:18:14 WHEN YOU TAKE THE HARBOUR ISLAND FROM KNIGHT'S RUN TO
19:18:18 KNIGHT'S RUN, FROM HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD TO
19:18:22 BENEFICIAL, WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO FIND OUT IS THAT
19:18:28 THERE ARE 1900 HOMEOWNERS, BOTH IN THE NORTH AND SOUTH
19:18:35 NEIGHBORHOOD AND 1100 OF THE -- OF THE APARTMENT
19:18:37 COMMUNITY DWELLING MEMBERS.
19:18:42 SO BASICALLY 3,000 RESIDENCES ARE THERE.
19:18:45 WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT N TOTAL OF THE SQUARE FOOTAGE
19:18:51 WHAT IS CONSIDERED COMMERCIAL WHICH IS THE 2 HARBOR
19:18:54 PLACE AND THE CURRENT LIBERTY BUILDING, YOU ARE LOOKING
19:18:58 AT LESS THAN 5% OF THE TOTAL PROPERTY IN WHAT WE WOULD
19:19:01 CALL THE RESIDENTIAL CORE OF HARBOUR ISLAND BETWEEN
19:19:05 KNIGHT'S RUN AND THE BENEFICIAL AND HARBOUR ISLAND
19:19:09 BOULEVARD ON KNIGHT'S RUN, THAT IS THE CORE OF THE
19:19:12 RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD OF HARBOUR ISLAND AND 95%
19:19:15 RESIDENTIAL, LESS THAN 5% COMMERCIAL.
19:19:19 SO WHAT YOU ARE ASKING IS TO PUT A LARGE PIECE OF
19:19:21 COMMERCIAL PROPERTY IN THE MIDDLE OF A MOSTLY
19:19:27 RESIDENTIAL DRILLING AND IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY
19:19:27 SENSE.
19:19:31 WHEN YOU TALK OF THE OTHER PROPERTIES, THEY ARE NORTH
19:19:34 WHERE THE WESTIN IS AND THE OTHER HOTELS.
19:19:36 THEY ARE NOT IN THE CORE PART OF THE RESIDENTIAL
19:19:38 COMMUNITY OF HARBOUR ISLAND.
19:19:41 AND I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT.
19:19:44 THIS WERE GOING ON THE NORTH END WHERE JACKSON IS.
19:19:49 IF THEY WANT JACKSON TO RAISE IT, THAT IS NOT A
19:19:50 PROBLEM.
19:19:54 BUT THIS IS IN THE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY IMPACTING THE
19:19:54 RESIDENTS.
19:19:57 AND HOPE YOU TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.
19:20:00 THE OTHER THING ON THE MARRIOTT WEB SITE WHICH I AM A
19:20:03 HOTEL DEVELOPER AND OWNER AND I OWN CURRENTLY TWO
19:20:05 MARRIOTTS.
19:20:09 THAT IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT WHERE THIS HOTEL IS CALLED
19:20:13 BOUTIQUE REALLY RESIDES, IT RESIDES IN A SELECT AREA.
19:20:16 IT IS NOT A LUXURY HOTEL.
19:20:18 NOT A MEDIUM HOTEL.
19:20:22 IT IS WITH THE FAIRFIELD AND WITH THE COURTYARD.
19:20:26 AND, AGAIN, IT IS NOT GOING TO HAVE THE AMENITIES OF A
19:20:28 BOUTIQUE HOTEL.
19:20:31 IT WILL BRING BUSINESS TRANSIENT TRAFFIC INTO A
19:20:34 RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY AND I SHOWED YOU THE LEVEL OF THE
19:20:35 RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY IT IS.
19:20:38 I APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR TIME AND HEARING YOU TONIGHT AND
19:20:41 HOPE YOU WILL VOTE AGAINST THIS PROPOSED HOTEL ON
19:20:42 HARBOUR ISLAND.
19:20:45 THANK YOU.
19:20:50 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
19:20:51 >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
19:20:54 MY NAME IS NATHAN HAGAN.
19:20:55 I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.
19:20:58 FIRST -- MY FIRST THING IS THE QUESTION -- I AM
19:20:59 IGNORANT.
19:21:02 IF THERE IS NO WAIVERS, WHY THIS A PD?
19:21:03 I AM IGNORE RANT.
19:21:08 IS THERE AN ANSWER?
19:21:10 WELL I WILL CONTINUE, BUT I AM INTERESTED TO KNOW THAT,
19:21:12 BECAUSE THIS IS A PROCESS THING.
19:21:15 I'M HERE NOT BECAUSE I CARE PARTICULARLY ABOUT A HOTEL.
19:21:18 THAT DIDN'T HOUSING AND I AM FOCUSED ON HOUSING.
19:21:22 I AM SEEING A CONSISTENT PATTERN OF OPPOSITION --
19:21:25 OPPOSITION TO OUR -- OF HOW WE PLANNED OUR CITY.
19:21:27 PEOPLE SAYING I DON'T LIKE HOW WE PLANNED OUR CITY.
19:21:29 MY NEIGHBORHOOD DOESN'T PARTICULARLY LIKE HOW WE
19:21:31 PLANNED OUR CITY.
19:21:33 BUT OUR CITY CHOSE THIS.
19:21:36 OUR CITY COUNCIL VOTED FOR THIS COMP PLAN.
19:21:40 YOU KNOW, SIX YEARS AGO IN 2016.
19:21:43 THAT SHOULD COUNT FOR SOMETHING, BECAUSE AS --
19:21:46 GENERALLY, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE ARE VOTING AGAINST PDS
19:21:51 THAT DON'T REQUIRE ANY WAIVERS, THAT MATCH THE COMP
19:21:54 PLAN, WE ARE VOTING AGAINST OUR COMP PLAN, IN MY
19:21:54 OPINION.
19:21:57 A CITY COUNCIL THAT IS HOSTILE TO ITS OWN CITY'S COMP
19:22:00 PLAN, TO ME, IS A CITY COUNCIL THAT IS HOSTILE TO
19:22:01 HOUSING.
19:22:08 THAT ES WHO TOIL OVER OTHER -- HOST TILL TO OTHER
19:22:10 OBJECTIVE OF THE COMP PLAN.
19:22:13 EVERYTHING THAT THE NEIGHBORS ARE SAYING ARE LEGITIMATE
19:22:16 AND SHOULD BE VALIDATED, BUT THE STILL DECIDED ALREADY
19:22:20 THAT HARBOUR ISLAND HAS A PUMP.
19:22:22 AND WE CAN CHANGE THAT IN THE COMP PLAN THIS YEAR.
19:22:27 IF WE WANT TO DOWN ZONE ALL OF HARBOUR ISLAND, ONE OF
19:22:29 THE MOST CENTRAL URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS, WE CAN HAVE THAT
19:22:32 CONVERSATION AND 2016, CITY COUNCIL VOTED FOR A COMP
19:22:36 PLAN OF HARBOUR ISLAND WAS A MIXED USE, HIGH INTENSITY
19:22:38 DEVELOPMENT IN OUR URBAN CORE AND CITY COUNCIL IS
19:22:42 WILLING TO TAKE -- WALK THAT BACK ARBITRARILY EVERY
19:22:47 THURSDAY, PARCEL BY PARCEL, WE SHOULD NOT HAVE A FUNK
19:22:48 ISAL CITY GOVERNMENT.
19:22:52 I HOPE WE WILL NOT DO THAT AND NOT THIS CASE BUT ALL
19:22:53 CASES.
19:22:55 THANK YOU FOR LISTENING THANK YOU.
19:22:57 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I CAN CITY COUNCIL
19:22:58 ATTORNEY.
19:23:01 IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THIS IS A PD OR HOW
19:23:04 TO RELATES TO THE COMP PLAN AND WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT
19:23:09 PATTERN IS SUPPOSED TO BE, AND WHAT YOUR CRITERIA IS,
19:23:12 MY SUGGESTION IS THAT YOU HAVE STAFF AVAILABLE TO ASK
19:23:13 THOSE QUESTIONS.
19:23:18 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
19:23:22 >> HI, JIMMY CLARK, 6516 BISCAYNE.
19:23:23 I WAS FAMOUS EARLIER AT THIS.
19:23:26 I NEVER HAVE BEEN TO A CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
19:23:28 PROBABLY WILL NEVER COME TO ANOTHER ONE.
19:23:30 SO I APOLOGIZE.
19:23:33 I MET PEOPLE VERY ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY, BUT
19:23:35 GENERALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF THIS STUFF.
19:23:37 YOU GUYS DO A GREAT JOB.
19:23:40 PART OF THE REASON I'M HERE IS ACTUALLY -- YOU KNOW, I
19:23:43 THINK PART -- THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO LOOK AT IT.
19:23:46 I SEE EVERYBODY TALKING OF THE HYATT AND THE ISSUE, BUT
19:23:50 THE PICTURE I SEE IS A DISCREPE BID OLD BUILDING AND
19:23:53 OVERTIME, THAT GO GET WORSE.
19:23:57 AT SOME TIME THAT WILL NEED TO BE DEVELOPED -- IN MY
19:24:01 BUSINESS, I AM AN -- IN THE INSURANCE BUSINESS, $20
19:24:02 BILLION OF INSURANCE.
19:24:04 I AM CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF THE TOP IN THE COUNTRY.
19:24:09 I WORK WITH A LOT OF THE DEVELOPERS NATIONWIDE.
19:24:12 WHAT WE HAVE AND I THINK WE SHOULD LOOK AT -- I THINK
19:24:14 PEOPLE WILL DISAGREE IS SOMEBODY WHO IS LOCAL AND
19:24:15 INVESTED IN THE COMMUNITY.
19:24:19 YOU GUYS MAY NOT REMEMBER THE RECEPTION, BUT IN 2014, A
19:24:22 MARRIOTT HOTEL AND A LOFT OPENED.
19:24:27 A DEVELOPER TOOK $20 MILLION OF HIS OWN MONEY.
19:24:31 NOBODY THOUGHT THAT A HOTEL COULD EVEN BE SUPPORTED IN
19:24:33 DOWNTOWN TAMPA IN THE MIDDLE OF A RECESSION.
19:24:38 TOOK A DECREPID OLD BUILDING.
19:24:43 GOING TO BE DEMOLISHED, ELEVATORS DIDN'T WORK.
19:24:46 A TAMPA BAY ARTICLE ABOUT IT AND OPENED IT AND IT WAS
19:24:48 SUCCESSFUL.
19:24:51 FROM THAT POINT FORWARD, TAMPA TOOK OFF.
19:24:54 ANOTHER HOTEL IN CHANNELSIDE THAT PERFECTLY FIT THE
19:24:54 AREA.
19:24:56 YOU ARE TALKING OF A GROUP THAT LIVES ON HARBOUR
19:24:57 ISLAND.
19:25:00 FAMILY LIVES ON HARBOUR ISLAND.
19:25:02 WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH WHATEVER TRAFFIC ISSUES WE ARE
19:25:05 TALKING ABOUT AND IS PERSONALLY INVESTED, PERSONALLY
19:25:10 INVESTED IN WHAT HE IS PUTTING IN THE GROUNDS BECAUSE
19:25:13 HE HAS TO LOOK AT IT AND TALK TO HIS KIDS ABOUT IT AND
19:25:17 SAYS IT MINE VERSUS THE RELATED GROUP OR WHOEVER ELSE
19:25:18 COMES IN.
19:25:22 THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TRY TO LOWER THE BUILDING TO
19:25:25 APIECE THE HOME BUILDERS -- THE HOME -- APPEASE THE
19:25:26 HOMEOWNERS.
19:25:29 THEY WILL TRY TO GET THE MAXIMUM VALUE OF LAND VERSUS
19:25:31 BUILDING SOMETHING THAT REALLY HELPS TAMPA.
19:25:33 AND THIS IS WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT TODAY.
19:25:35 SOMETHING THINK THAT KNOW THAT THE LIBERTY GROUP IS
19:25:36 PROUD OF.
19:25:38 SOMETHING THINK THAT SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON HARBOUR
19:25:38 ISLAND.
19:25:40 SOMETHING I WOULD BE PROUD OF.
19:25:45 AND I HAVE CLIENTS IN INSURANCE, UNDERWRITERS FROM ALL
19:25:48 AROUND THE WORLD FLY IN TO SEE ME AND ALL THEY COMPLAIN
19:25:51 ABOUT IS THEY CAN'T FIND HOTELS AND THEY DON'T FIND --
19:25:54 THERE ARE BASICALLY TWO OR THREE GOOD NEW HOTELS.
19:25:56 I THINK WE HAVE GOT A FOURTH DOWNTOWN.
19:25:58 AND THEY STAY ON WESTSHORE.
19:26:02 SO -- [GAVEL SOUNDING]
19:26:07 >> THANK YOU, GUYS, FOR YOUR TIME.
19:26:08 >>JOSEPH CITRO: EXCUSE ME.
19:26:08 EXCUSE ME.
19:26:09 PLEASE.
19:26:14 I UNDERSTAND, BUT PLEASE.
19:26:16 LET'S CONTROL OURSELVES.
19:26:17 THANK YOU, SIR.
19:26:22 THE NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
19:26:22 >> HELLO.
19:26:23 CHARLIE TOBIN.
19:26:26 I DON'T THINK I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.
19:26:29 I AM NOT SURE, BUT I LIVE AT --
19:26:32 >>JOSEPH CITRO: WAIT A SECOND.
19:26:36 >>MARTIN SHELBY: ANYBODY ELSE COME UP WHO HASN'T BEEN
19:26:37 SWORN IN.
19:26:39 [SWEARING IN]
19:26:41 >> I DO.
19:26:42 IS THAT SWEARING IN.
19:26:44 OKAY, COOL, AWESOME.
19:26:46 1114 ABBEYS WAY.
19:26:49 AND I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT I BELIEVE I HAVE AN OUTLOOK
19:26:52 ON THIS ISSUE THAT NO ONE ELSE DOES.
19:26:55 I HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO GO TO FLORIDA STATE FOR THE
19:26:58 PAST FOUR YEARS AND EVERY TIME -- AND I JUST RECENTLY
19:26:59 GRADUATED.
19:27:03 EVERY TIME I COME BACK FOR HOLIDAYS, THREE, SIX MONTHS,
19:27:04 I AM LIKE WOW.
19:27:06 A GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING.
19:27:09 DOWNTOWN TAMPA GETS BIGGER AND TRAFFIC GETS WORSE.
19:27:12 TAKES ON AVERAGE -- USED TO TAKE WHEN I WAS IN HIGH
19:27:15 SCHOOL ABOUT SIX MINUTES TO GET FROM DOWNTOWN TAMPA ON
19:27:16 THE HIGHWAY TO MY HOUSE.
19:27:18 TAKES ABOUT 15 NOW.
19:27:21 ESPECIALLY WITH A LIGHTNING GAME, MAKE ABOUT AN HOUR.
19:27:24 AND EVERY TIME, I AM LIKE, WOW, DOWNTOWN TAMPA IS GETTING
19:27:26 MORR HECTIC.
19:27:27 WHAT WILL THIS HOTEL BRING.
19:27:30 I DIDN'T REALLY CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
19:27:33 CAME TO SUPPORT MY COMMUNITY, BUT AFTER HEARING
19:27:37 EVERYONE SPEAK OF HOW PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS HOTEL NOT
19:27:39 BEING BUILT, I HAVE TO AGREE.
19:27:42 MORE LIKE -- WHAT IS THE SAYING, IF YOU TAKE AN INCH,
19:27:43 YOU GET A MILE.
19:27:47 IT SEEMS THAT IF THIS HOTEL WILL JUST BE THE BEGINNING.
19:27:50 AND THAT IT WILL BECOME A LOT MORE COMMERCIAL ON THAT
19:27:51 SIDE OF TAMPA.
19:27:54 AND ON THAT SIDE OF HARBOUR ISLAND WHICH WILL NOT BE
19:27:55 GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY.
19:27:58 IT WILL NOT BE GOOD WHERE I GREW UP IN MY 23 YEARS OF
19:28:01 LIFE, THE WHOLE TIME ON HARBOUR ISLAND AND I DON'T
19:28:03 THINK ANYONE IN THIS COMMUNITY WANTS THIS HOTEL.
19:28:05 THANK YOU.
19:28:09 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
19:28:11 IS THERE ANYONE ELSE --
19:28:14 >> I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION --
19:28:16 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YOU HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN, MA'AM.
19:28:17 YOU HAD YOUR TIME.
19:28:19 I APOLOGIZE, BUT YOU HAD YOUR TIME.
19:28:22 ANYONE ELSE IN THIS COUNCIL CHAMBERS THAT WANTS TO
19:28:29 SPEAK THAT HAVEN'T ALREADY SPOKEN?
19:28:34 ANYBODY ELSE ON THE SECOND FLOOR OR DOWN AT THE VISCOTI
19:28:35 ROOM.
19:28:41 >> YES.
19:28:42 YES.
19:28:46 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ARE YOU ONLINE OR IN THE BUILDING.
19:28:47 >> WE ARE ONLINE.
19:28:49 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE MUTE YOURSELF
19:28:51 UNTIL YOU ARE CALLED ON.
19:28:52 THANK YOU.
19:28:58 ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ONLINE NOW.
19:29:06 THE FIRST PERSON I HAVE IS MR. ED WILLIAMS.
19:29:16 MR. WILLIAMS, ARE YOU THERE?
19:29:18 I DON'T SEE MR. WILLIAMS THERE.
19:29:24 THEN LET'S GO TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE NOW.
19:29:27 MR. PETER BRUNDI.
19:29:34 ARE YOU THERE?
19:29:39 YES, I AM SEEING THEM RIGHT NOW AND I ASKED MR. PETER
19:29:41 BRUNDI.
19:29:44 BUT MR. BRUNDI, I NEED TO SEE YOUR FACE.
19:29:45 >> HERE I AM.
19:29:46 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
19:29:46 >> THANK YOU.
19:29:49 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ONE MORE TIME, CONSISTENT HEAR YOU.
19:29:52 SWEAR HIM IN.
19:29:54 EVERYBODY THAT I SEE ON THE SCREEN,
19:29:57 PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND TO BE SWORN IN.
19:30:01 [SWEARING IN]
19:30:01 >> YES.
19:30:04 >> YES, WE DO.
19:30:11 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
19:30:12 >> ARE YOU READY FOR ME?
19:30:14 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES, SIR, I AM, PLEASE.
19:30:14 >> OKAY.
19:30:16 THANK YOU SO MUCH.
19:30:20 COUNCILMEMBER, MY NAME IS PETER BRUNDI.
19:30:21 I AM AN ATTORNEY.
19:30:25 I MOVED WITH MY WIFE AND OUR NEWBORN SON TO HARBOUR
19:30:29 ISLAND 33 YEARS AGO.
19:30:34 WE HAVE ENJOYED A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS GROWN AND
19:30:39 DEVELOPED AND THAT NOW HOUSES SOME OF THE BEST PEOPLE
19:30:43 AND MINDS, CIVIC LEADERS, ETC. IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
19:30:50 ALL OF WHOM ARE AGAINST THIS HOTEL BEING DEVELOPED.
19:30:54 NOT ONE RESIDENT THAT I CAN RECALL TONIGHT ON HARBOUR
19:31:01 ISLAND HAS SPOKEN THAT IT IS A POSITIVE MOVE.
19:31:02 THERE IS SO MUCH TO SAY.
19:31:04 AND I KNOW I HAVE LIMITED TIME, SO I WILL JUST GO TO
19:31:05 ONE POINT.
19:31:09 THE POINT THAT -- THE WHITE ELEPHANT IN THIS WHOLE
19:31:13 THING IS THE FACT THAT HOTELS MAKE MOST OF THEIR MONEY
19:31:16 ON ALCOHOL.
19:31:21 NONE OF THE HIGH-RISES -- NONE OF THE HIGH-RISES ON
19:31:23 HARBOUR ISLAND SELL ALCOHOL.
19:31:27 THEY ARE EITHER CONDOS OR RENTAL BUILDINGS.
19:31:30 WE HAVE A COUPLE OF RESTAURANTS TO DO.
19:31:32 AND THAT'S NORMAL.
19:31:36 THIS IS GOING TO BE A HIGH-RISE THAT TRIES TO MAXIMIZE
19:31:41 THEIR PROFITS ON ALCOHOL AS ALL HOTELS DO.
19:31:45 IF YOU ASK ANY OF THESE HOTEL SPEAKERS AND IF THERE ARE
19:31:48 HONEST ABOUT IT, THEY WILL ADMIT IT.
19:31:50 THEY MAKE THE MOST PROFIT ON ALCOHOL.
19:31:55 THEY EVEN SHOWED THAT -- THAT LEVEL OF SEVERAL STORIES
19:31:58 UP WHERE THEY WILL HAVE AN OUTDOOR CAFE THAT WILL SERVE
19:31:59 ALCOHOL.
19:32:03 SO YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A HOTEL WHERE WILD PEOPLE,
19:32:05 SOME OF THEM, ARE WILD.
19:32:10 COMING IN TO SEE LIGHTNING GAMES OR HOCKEY -- OR OTHER
19:32:12 FACILITY -- OTHER EVENTS.
19:32:14 THEY ARE GOING TO INVITE FRIENDS OVER.
19:32:17 THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE BARS OPEN IN THE HOTEL AND
19:32:19 EVERYBODY WILL BE DRINKING.
19:32:22 AND SOME OF THEM WILL FEEL IT IS TOO FAR FROM THERE TO
19:32:24 WALK TO DOWNTOWN TO SOME OF THESE EVENTS, SO THEY ARE
19:32:27 GOING TO DRIVE.
19:32:31 AND WE WILL HAVE DRUNK DRIVERS ON A RESIDENTIAL AREA OF
19:32:33 HARBOUR ISLAND WHERE WE HAVE CHILDREN WAITING FOR
19:32:35 BUSES.
19:32:40 WHERE WE HAVE MOTHERS TAKING THEIR CHILDREN ACROSS
19:32:43 AREAS TO GET TO SCHOOL.
19:32:47 WHERE LATER IN THE DAY, WE HAVE PEOPLE WALKING DOGS.
19:32:51 AND THEY WILL EVEN ALLOW DOGS AND THEY WON'T CONFORM TO
19:32:56 PICKING UP THEIR POOP LIKE ALL HOTEL RESIDENTS DO.
19:32:58 IT IS GOING TO BE A DISASTER.
19:33:01 BUT THE WORST PART OF THIS IS THE ALCOHOL.
19:33:07 YOU ARE GOING TO ENLIST AND ENABLE A 12-STORY FACILITY
19:33:10 TO SELL ALCOHOL TO PEOPLE WHO ARE DRIVING IN OUR
19:33:13 NEIGHBORHOOD AND ENDANGERING OUR CITIZENS.
19:33:18 THIS CANNOT STAND.
19:33:21 I WORK WITH MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVERS AND THIS
19:33:22 CANNOT STAND.
19:33:24 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, SIR, THANK YOU VERY
19:33:24 MUCH.
19:33:28 MR. CARDONA.
19:33:29 >> HI, EVERYONE.
19:33:33 MY NAME IS JIRO CARDONA.
19:33:37 TAMPA RESIDENT FOR OVER 20 YEARS.
19:33:40 POST HARBOUR ISLAND RESIDENT FOR THE LAST SEVEN.
19:33:44 A COMMERCIAL BANKER IN TAMPA BAY FOR 14 YEARS AND MOST
19:33:47 RECENTLY STARTED MY OWN COMPANY RIGHT THERE ON HARBOUR
19:33:49 ISLAND.
19:33:53 IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, I HAVE PARTICIPATED IN OVER
19:33:56 HALF A BILLION IN LENDING IN OUR COMMUNITY, WHETHER IT
19:34:00 IS MULTIFAMILY, PHARMACIST NEXT DOOR, SOMEBODY OPENING
19:34:02 A START-UP CALF PAY.
19:34:06 I AM VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF THIS PROJECT.
19:34:09 YOU KNOW, WE HEARD A LOT ABOUT TRAFFIC AND NOISE AND
19:34:10 SAFETY.
19:34:12 AS IF THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO BE BUILT IN THE MIDDLE
19:34:16 OF A SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD OR THE PROJECT DOES NOT FIT.
19:34:21 BUT THE REALITY IS THAT HARBOUR ISLAND IS IN DOWNTOWN
19:34:27 TAMPA, BACK FROM OUR CUP CHAMPIONS TAMPA LIGHTNING.
19:34:30 I AM A SEASON TICKET HOLDER.
19:34:35 THIS IS SO IMPORTANT THAT I NEEDED TO BE HERE TODAY.
19:34:39 RESIDE BEHIND THEIR GATED COMMUNITY THEY ARE NOT IMMUNE
19:34:42 TO URBAN LIVING EVERYBODY ELSE WHO LIVES IN DOWNTOWN
19:34:43 TAMPA EXPERIENCES.
19:34:46 THEY HAVE THE PREROGATIVE TO MANAGE ALL THE ISSUES THAT
19:34:48 AFFECT THEM BEHIND THEIR GATES, BUT THE MERE PRESENCE
19:34:51 DOES NOT EXTEND THE PEROGATIVE OF THE REST OF DOWNTOWN
19:34:53 TAMPA.
19:34:57 THE TOURISM WHICH IS THE MAIN ECONOMIC DRIVER FOR THE
19:35:00 CITY AS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THOSE IN THE GATES OF
19:35:01 HARBOUR ISLAND.
19:35:06 MISGUIDED TO SAY THIS HOTEL WHO PUT DOWN OVERALL HOTEL
19:35:09 ROOMS AND REDUCED THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES THAT
19:35:14 LEAD TO TRAFFIC JAMS ENTERING AND EXIT THEIR OWN GATED
19:35:15 COMMUNITIES.
19:35:19 GATES CREATE A PERMANENT DEMARCATION BETWEEN THE
19:35:21 RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES.
19:35:26 IF YOU LOOK AT.MAP, HUNDREDS OF FIGHTS AWAY FROM THE
19:35:28 SITE OF THE HOTEL.
19:35:30 HARBOR ISLAND WILL BENEFIT WITH THE AMENITIES
19:35:32 ASSOCIATED WITH THE HOTEL.
19:35:36 AC MARRIOTT WILL PROVIDE OUR COMMUNITY WITH A GATHERING
19:35:38 PLACE IN LINE WITH THE CHARACTERISTICS OF HARBOUR
19:35:38 ISLAND.
19:35:41 I LOOK FORWARD TO GOING TO THE RESTAURANT AND THE BAR
19:35:44 IN THE HOTEL AND I WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO USE THE
19:35:46 IMMEDIATE MEETING SPACE.
19:35:48 I DO IT ALL THE TIME FOR MY BUSINESS.
19:35:50 THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM HAS TAKEN TIME LISTEN TO THE
19:35:52 CONCERNS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND MAKE SIGNIFICANT
19:35:56 CHANGES TO THE PROJECT THAT WAS REQUESTED BY MEMBERS OF
19:35:57 THE COMMUNITY MY SIEVE INCLUDED.
19:35:58 I APPRECIATE THEIR EFFORTS.
19:36:02 AND THIS PROJECT WILL ADD TO THE CHARM OF HARBOUR
19:36:04 ISLAND AND I ASK EVERYONE TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.
19:36:05 I THINK IT IS VERY GOOD.
19:36:06 I AM IN FAVOR OF IT.
19:36:10 I USED TO GO TO THAT SUNTRUST A LONG TIME AGO.
19:36:16 I REMEMBER A LONG TIME BUILDINGS WEREN'T THERE AND A
19:36:19 LOT OF PEOPLE OPPOSED AND LOOK HOW MUCH HAS COME FROM
19:36:20 THAT.
19:36:21 TIME IN FAVOR.
19:36:24 THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND GO LIGHTNING.
19:36:29 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, SIR.
19:36:33 MR. SPONSLER.
19:36:37 >> I'M JIM SPONSLER.
19:36:40 I LIVE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA.
19:36:43 FORTUNATE TO BE REPRESENTED BY MANY OF OUR HOTEL BRANDS
19:36:45 THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.
19:36:49 AND I DO APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE SOME
19:36:52 PERSPECTIVE OF THIS PARTICULAR IMPORTANT HOTEL BRAND
19:36:55 FOR THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION.
19:36:58 SO UNLIKE OUR LARGE FULL-SERVICE OR CONVENTION FOCUSED
19:37:04 HOTELS, THE AC HOTEL BRAND IS AN UPSCALE LIFETIME HOTEL
19:37:09 WITH AN UNIQUE CUSTOM DESIGN FOR EACH LOCATION.
19:37:12 AC HOTEL THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY OR THROUGHOUT THE
19:37:13 WORLD, EACH ONE IS DIFFERENT.
19:37:17 THAT IS WHAT MAKES IT A LIFESTYLE BOUTIQUE HOTEL VERSUS
19:37:19 A BRAND.
19:37:23 AND AS AN EXPERT ON THE BRAND, ONE OF THE CORE BRAND
19:37:27 PRINCIPLES IS, IN FACT, ACTIVATED IN THE PUBLIC SPACE
19:37:28 INTEGRATE WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.
19:37:32 NOW THAT, AGAIN, MEANS DIFFERENT THINGS IN DIFFERENT
19:37:32 TYPES OF COMMUNITIES.
19:37:35 I ALSO JUST WANT TO TAKE A MINUTE TO CONFIRM THAT
19:37:38 LOCALLY BASED DEVELOPER FOR THIS PROJECT IS WORKING
19:37:42 WITH MARRIOTT TO DESIGN A CUSTOM HOTEL THAT WILL FIT
19:37:44 INTO THE FABRIC OF THE HARBOUR ISLAND COMMUNITY WITH
19:37:47 BOTH DESIGN AND SCALE OF THE PROPERTY.
19:37:51 NOW MY EXPERIENCE, WHEN A DEVELOPER BUILDS SOMETHING
19:37:55 IN THEIR OWN BACK YARD, THEY ARE SINCERELY COMMITTED TO
19:37:56 THIS PRIORITY.
19:38:00 NOW WHILE THERE MAY BE SOME COMPRESSION OF GUEST DEMAND
19:38:04 FOR LARGE CITY EVENTS, THIS HOTEL IS DESIGNED TO
19:38:07 ATTRACT UPSCALE CUSTOMERS WHO ARE SEEKING A LIFESTYLE
19:38:08 HOTEL EXPERIENCE.
19:38:12 THE PUBLIC SPACE IS ALSO DESIGNED TO BE A GATHERING
19:38:13 PLACE.
19:38:16 IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE FOR THE HARBOUR ISLAND
19:38:19 COMMUNITY AND FRIEND THAT TRAVEL TO TAMPA.
19:38:23 I THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE MY COMMENTS.
19:38:29 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, SIR.
19:38:32 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, IF
19:38:35 I MAY, MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY.
19:38:37 ANOTHER REMINDER AS YOU GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS THAT
19:38:42 THE DECISION IS NOT BASED ON THE BRANDS OR ANYTHING
19:38:47 SURROUNDING THE MARKETING OF IT OR WHOEVER -- IT IS
19:38:47 DESCRIBED.
19:38:52 BUT THE CRITERIA THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IN THE STAFF
19:38:55 REPORT THAT YOU APPLY THE FACTS AS YOU BELIEVE THEM TO
19:38:57 BE IS WHAT YOU MUST BASE YOUR DECISION ON,
19:38:59 COMPREHENSIVE TENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT IS IN THE
19:39:00 RECORD.
19:39:02 THANK YOU.
19:39:05 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
19:39:06 MR. WILLIAMS.
19:39:09 MR. ED WILLIAMS, ARE YOU THERE?
19:39:18 AND IF YOU ARE, YOU NEED TO TURN ON YOUR CAMERA.
19:39:23 MR. WILLIAMS?
19:39:25 THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. WILLIAMS.
19:39:27 ANDY GOLD.
19:39:28 MR. GOLD.
19:39:37 ARE YOU ON A CELL PHONE OR ARE YOU ON YOUR COMPUTER?
19:39:40 MR. GOLD?
19:39:41 THANK YOU, MR. GOLD.
19:39:47 DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS ON THESE AGENDA ITEMS
19:39:50 THAT ARE LOGGED ON?
19:39:53 >>CLERK: THAT WILL CONCLUDE THE REGISTERED SPEAKERS.
19:39:56 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ANYONE ELSE DOWNSTAIRS IN THE SECOND
19:40:01 FLOOR OR IN THE VISCOTI ROOM?
19:40:06 THANK YOU.
19:40:11 MISS WELLS.
19:40:13 >>CATE WELLS: THANK YOU, CATE WELLS FOR THE RECORD.
19:40:16 I JUST WANT TO SAY ONE THING BEFORE THE APPLICANT IS
19:40:20 ALLOWED REBUTTAL IN THE EVENT THEY WANT TO RESPOND TO
19:40:22 THIS, IN THE PRESENTATION IT WAS OFFERED UP THAT
19:40:25 PARKING AT THIS LOCATION WOULD NOT BE OPEN TO THE
19:40:28 PUBLIC AND THAT THEY WERE WILLING TO INCLUDE THAT AS A
19:40:31 NOTE ON THE SITE PLAN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
19:40:34 COUNCIL HAS PREVIOUSLY HEARD THE CITY SAY THAT
19:40:37 CONDITIONS RELATED TO THE OPERATION OF THE BUSINESS
19:40:40 ESTABLISHMENT ARE NOT APPROPRIATE CONDITIONS OF ZONING
19:40:41 APPROVAL.
19:40:44 BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE BY THE CITY.
19:40:47 SO WHILE RESPONSIVE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S CONCERNS,
19:40:50 THAT IS NOT A NOTE ON THE SITE PLAN THAT THE CITY WOULD
19:40:50 SUPPORT.
19:40:53 AS WE WOULD NOT -- THE CITY WOULD NOT BE IN A POSITION
19:40:55 TO ENFORCE IT.
19:40:56 THANK YOU.
19:40:57 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
19:40:59 MISS MALONE, ARE YOU THERE?
19:41:03 YOU STATED YOU ARE ALWAYS THERE.
19:41:05 CAN YOU COME BACK ON?
19:41:06 THANK YOU, MISS MALONE.
19:41:07 >>JENNIFER MALONE: I'M HERE.
19:41:11 >>JOSEPH CITRO: TWO QUESTIONS THAT WERE POSED TO YOU.
19:41:14 >>JENNIFER MALONE: YES.
19:41:17 LITTLE ADDRESS THE FIRST -- THE -- I BELIEVE THE FIRST
19:41:20 QUESTION WAS IF THERE IS A POLICY IN THE PLAN THAT
19:41:25 ADDRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT CONSTRUCTION AND AND IMPACTS
19:41:28 TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD DURING CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.
19:41:31 DID I GET THAT CORRECT?
19:41:34 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
19:41:35 >>JENNIFER MALONE: YES, OKAY.
19:41:38 THE CLOSEST THING I FOUND IN THE COMMERCIAL SECTION OF
19:41:40 THE PLAN WAS A POLICY RELATED TO WHAT CAN BE ACHIEVED
19:41:47 DURING DEVELOPMENT REVIEW TO MINIMIZE RESIDENTIAL
19:41:53 IMPACTS WITH -- RE-ORIENTING CURB CUTS AND SUCH, SO I
19:41:55 DO NOT THINK IT WOULD APPLY.
19:41:58 I DID READ THROUGH MOST OF THE PLAN IN THAT HOWEVER
19:42:02 LONG IT WAS, AND I DID NOT FIND A POLICY THAT I FEET
19:42:05 WAS APPLICABLE TO YOUR QUESTION.
19:42:07 >>JOSEPH CITRO: DID THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION,
19:42:08 COUNCILMAN VIERA?
19:42:13 >>LUIS VIERA: YES, SIR, THANK YOU.
19:42:15 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THE NEXT QUESTION.
19:42:16 >>JENNIFER MALONE: YES.
19:42:21 ABOUT THE PLANNING OF HARBOUR ISLAND AND IF -- IF THIS
19:42:25 WAS -- YOU WERE WONDERING IF IT WAS A PLAN THAT SOUTH
19:42:27 OF THIS STREET WILL BE RESIDENTIAL.
19:42:30 BEFORE I LEFT THE OFFICE TODAY, I ACTUALLY DID CHECK
19:42:30 THE LIBRARY.
19:42:34 AND I TALKED TO OUR LIBRARIAN.
19:42:36 THE PLANNING COMMISSION NEVER DID ANY SORT OF COMMUNITY
19:42:39 PLAN FOR HARBOUR ISLAND, BUT I KNOW A LOT OF THAT
19:42:43 PLANS WAS DONE THROUGH THE DRI AND THE PDS.
19:42:46 I WILL DEFER TO ANNIE BARNES TO ANSWER HOW THOSE
19:42:49 HISTORIC PDS, WHAT IS ON THEM.
19:42:53 AND I THINK THAT IS A LITTLE BIT MORE IN HER WHEEL
19:42:54 HOUSE.
19:42:58 BUT THERE WERE NO COMMUNITY PLAN DONE THAT I COULD FIND
19:43:00 BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS.
19:43:02 I WILL TURN IT OVER TO ANNIE.
19:43:07 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, MISS MALONE.
19:43:09 MISS BARNES.
19:43:11 >>ANNIE BARNES: ANNIE BARNES, DEVELOPMENT
19:43:12 COORDINATION.
19:43:15 JUST LOOKING AT THE PDS IN THE AREA SURROUNDING THE
19:43:19 SITE, IT IS BASED UPON THE DENSITY, INTENSITY IS BASED
19:43:21 UPON THE ALLOWABLE USES.
19:43:26 SO IF ALLOWABLE USES OF HIGHER INTENSITY AND COMMERCIAL
19:43:29 USES IN THE SURROUNDING PDS, THAT IS WHY IT WAS
19:43:32 DEVELOPED THAT WAY.
19:43:37 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
19:43:43 MR. CREMER.
19:43:46 MR. CREMER, YOU HAVE STATED EARLIER THAT YOU MAY WANT
19:43:48 TO CROSS-EXAMINE ANY SPEAKERS.
19:43:52 DO YOU WISH TO DO SO AT THIS TIME?
19:43:56 >> NO, SIR, I DON'T, BUT I HAVE AN OBJECTION FOR THE
19:43:57 RECORD RELATED TO THAT.
19:44:01 MISS MANDELL SENT A LETTER TO COUNCIL AND CITY
19:44:05 ATTORNEY'S OFFICE YESTERDAY THAT HAD TWO EXPERT REPORTS
19:44:06 WITHIN THE LETTER.
19:44:12 AND MY CONCERN THAT EXPERTS DON'T APPEAR HERE TO BE
19:44:15 CROSS-EXAMINED AND I OBJECT TO THEM BEING CONSIDERED
19:44:17 COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
19:44:20 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
19:44:22 MISS MANDELL.
19:44:25 >> FOR THE RECORD, JULIA MANDELL.
19:44:27 I UNDERSTAND THE OBJECTION.
19:44:29 THEY COULD NOT BE IN ATTENDANCE.
19:44:31 WITH THAT BEING SAID, I DON'T SEE ANYTHING IN THOSE
19:44:35 REPORTS THAT ISN'T ALSO PART OF THE RECORD THAT I PUT
19:44:39 FORWARD AS PART OF MY REPORT THAT I PUT FORWARD.
19:44:42 SO IF CITY COUNCIL DOESN'T WANT TO CONSIDER THOSE, THEY
19:44:44 CAN CONSIDER THE PICTURES THINK THAT PUT DOWN AS
19:44:48 COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE, THE POLICIES THAT THEY
19:44:52 ARE REVIEWING IS PART OF THE COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL
19:44:53 EVIDENCE AND THE TESTIMONY THAT THEY HEARD TODAY IS
19:44:56 PART OF THE COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
19:44:58 THANK YOU.
19:45:00 >>JOSEPH CITRO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
19:45:02 [INAUDIBLE]
19:45:05 >>ORLANDO GUDES: FOR THE RECORD I HAVEN'T SEEN IT
19:45:06 EITHER.
19:45:07 >>JOSEPH CITRO: WE HAVE ONE SO FAR OF THE
19:45:09 COUNCILMEMBERS WHO ARE HERE.
19:45:19 I DIDN'T SEE IT EITHER.
19:45:22 MR. CREMER.
19:45:22 >> YES, SIR.
19:45:24 >>JOSEPH CITRO: WOULD YOU LIKE TO PROCEED OR ARE YOU
19:45:27 GOING TO DO ANY CROSSEXAMINEING.
19:45:28 >> WELL, I CAN'T.
19:45:31 I WILL NOTE THAT THE PRIMARY CASE ON QUASI JUDICIAL
19:45:35 JENNINGS VERSUS DADE COUNTY SAYS THAT PARTIES MUST BE
19:45:38 ABLE TO CROSS-EXAMINE WITNESSES AND THOSE TWO WITNESSES
19:45:40 ARE NOT THERE.
19:45:41 AND I NOTE THAT OBJECTION FOR THE RECORD.
19:45:42 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
19:45:47 >> CAN I GET HELP FROM I.T., I AM NOT ABLE TO SEE
19:45:52 ANYTHING ON THE SCREEN, THE PRESENTATION HERE.
19:46:03 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I.T., ARE YOU AVAILABLE?
19:46:06 >> MR. CHAIR, IT SEEMS TO BE ON THE ELMO, BUT NOT ON
19:46:16 THE PRESENTATION.
19:46:26 AGAIN, JAKE CREMER FOR RECORD.
19:46:30 I WILL BE BRINGING SOME OF OUR EXPERTS UP TO ADDRESS
19:46:31 SOME OF THE COMMENTS YOU HEARD.
19:46:33 THANK YOU.
19:46:39 >> I AM RANDY HASEN, PRESIDENT OF MCKIBBON HOSPITALITY.
19:46:44 WE WILL BE WITH THE DAY-TO-DAY STAFF, HIRING AND
19:46:50 TRAINING AND I AM TAMPA RESIDENT SINCE 1994 AND WE
19:46:54 OPERATE NINE HOTELS AROUND THE COUNTRY FOR AC HOTELS.
19:46:56 I KNOW THIS BRAND VERY WELL.
19:46:59 FOUR HOTELS IN DOWNTOWN TAMPA AND 13 HOTELS IN TAMPA.
19:47:04 AND WE ARE TAMPA-BASED.
19:47:07 >> ADDRESS THE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION FOR TRUCKS.
19:47:12 >> AS FAR AS DELIVERIES GO, WE AS THE OPERATOR, WE
19:47:16 CONTROL WHEN OUR VENDORS ARE DELIVERING TO THE HOTEL.
19:47:21 WE WANT TO DO IT DURING OFF-PEAK HOURS TO NOT DISRUPT
19:47:24 GUESTS SLEEPING, WHICH WOULD BE IN LINE WITH THE
19:47:25 RESIDENTS AS WELL AS.
19:47:29 WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY DON'T DISRUPT OPERATING
19:47:33 HOURS DURING BREAKFAST AND DINNER, THINGS OF THAT
19:47:33 NATURE.
19:47:37 SO THE BENEFIT OF THAT IT IS DURING OFF-PEAK HOURS OF
19:47:38 TRAFFIC AS WELL.
19:47:43 AND AS FAR AS THE TRASH COMPACTOR GOES, THAT IS A ONCE
19:47:44 A WEEK PICKUP.
19:47:49 ON CYCLE WITH THE CITY'S SCHEDULE AT, BUT IT WILL BE ON
19:47:53 CYCLE WITH EAR COMPACTOR PICKUPS ON THE ISLAND.
19:48:00 NOT IN ADDITION TO, IT IS JUST ANOTHER STOP.
19:48:03 >> GOOD EVENING, AGAIN, RANDY COHEN.
19:48:04 AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
19:48:07 I PLACED A TABLE ON THE ELMO.
19:48:10 I WANT TO EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE REFERENCES TO
19:48:12 THE BANK AND ITS COMPARISON TO THE HOTEL.
19:48:14 A NUMBER OF FOLKS --
19:48:16 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MR. COHEN, I AM SORRY.
19:48:17 IT IS NOT APPEARING.
19:48:19 IT IS ON THE ELMO?
19:48:20 >> YES.
19:48:22 WE WILL GET TO IT SO I HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS
19:48:22 BEFORE.
19:48:24 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THERE IT IS NOW.
19:48:25 THERE IT IS.
19:48:28 >> A LOT OF FOLKS TALKED OF THE SUNTRUST BANK THAT WAS
19:48:30 ON THE PROPERTY AT ONE POINT IN TIME.
19:48:30 THEY ARE CORRECT.
19:48:32 IT DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF TRAFFIC.
19:48:35 A VERY LIMITED SERVICE BANK; HOWEVER, THE CURRENT
19:48:38 ZONING ON THE PROPERTY PROVIDES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF
19:48:39 A FULL-SERVICE BANK.
19:48:43 SO MY COMPARISONS HAVE BEEN TO A FULL-SERVICE BANK, NOT
19:48:46 TO THE SUNTRUST BANK THAT EXISTED SOME TIME AGO.
19:48:49 AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE TABLE ON THE ELMO, IN THE
19:48:52 MORNING A LITTLE BIT MORE TRAFFIC FROM THE HOTEL.
19:48:55 IN THE AFTERNOON, A LITTLE LESS TRAFFIC FROM THE HOTEL
19:48:57 THAN THERE WOULD BE FROM THE BANK.
19:49:00 A FULL-SERVICE BANK WHICH IS FULLY APPROVED AND CAN BE
19:49:01 CONSTRUCTED TODAY ON THE PROPERTY.
19:49:04 SO THAT IS THE COMPARISON I WAS REFERRING TO.
19:49:06 THANK YOU.
19:49:10 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
19:49:15 >> GOOD EVENING, CYNTHIA SPIDEL.
19:49:15 STEARNS WEAVER.
19:49:16 I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
19:49:20 I AM AN AICP CERTIFIED PLAN WITH 17 YEARS OF PLANNING
19:49:22 EXPERIENCE INCLUDING MANY TAMPA PROJECTS.
19:49:25 AND I WAS ALSO THE DRI COORDINATOR IN PASCO COUNTY.
19:49:28 FORTUNATELY I HAVE WORKED ON MANY, MANY DRIS OVER MY
19:49:30 CAREER.
19:49:34 SO IN ORDER TO FORM MY PLANNING OPINION FOR
19:49:37 COMPATIBILITY OF THE USE OF THE SURROUNDING AREA AND
19:49:40 CONSISTENCY WITH THE REGULATORY REQUIREMENT.
19:49:44 I LOOKED AT THE APPROVALS AND REZONING PRECEDENTS
19:49:47 ESTABLISHED BY THE CITY COUNCIL FOR HARBOUR ISLAND.
19:49:50 THIS IS SUMMARIZED IN THE PLANNING REPORT AND I WILL
19:49:51 COVER THEM BRIEFLY.
19:49:56 FIRSTLY A DRI WITH UNBUILT DRI ENTITLEMENTS AVAILABLE.
19:49:58 FORMER DRI COORDINATOR.
19:50:00 THE FIRST THING I LOOKED AT WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY
19:50:02 APPROVED AND WHAT WAS BUILT.
19:50:04 IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED AND WHAT
19:50:07 HAS BEEN SPENT, SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF REMAINING
19:50:10 ENTITLEMENT THAT CAN BE DRAWN FROM.
19:50:13 WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, THE CURRENT BUILD-OUT SCENARIO
19:50:17 THAT WAS ASSUMED, PLANNED FOR AND MOST IMPORTANTLY
19:50:19 MITIGATED FOR.
19:50:22 DRY CLEARLY ALLOWS NONRESIDENTIAL USES IN THIS
19:50:23 LOCATION.
19:50:28 AND OBVIOUSLY THE -- JUST TO REITERATE THAT AND I WANT
19:50:31 TO EMPHASIZE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF THE IMPROVEMENT FOR
19:50:33 THIS DRI IS MUCH GREATER THAN ACTUALLY WHAT IS ON THE
19:50:34 GROUND.
19:50:38 SO WHEN THE ORIGINAL ARCHITECTS LOOKED AT THIS DRI,
19:50:41 THEY HAD THE FORESIGHT TO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS -- YOU
19:50:44 KNOW, THIS IS 178-ACRE PROJECT.
19:50:48 A LONG EXTENSIVE BUILD-OUT AND EVOLVE OVER TIME AND
19:50:50 CHANGE WITH MARKET DEMANDS.
19:50:52 SO THEY RECOGNIZE THAT.
19:50:58 AND THEY BUILT THAT FLEXIBILITY INTO THE DRI, WHICH IS
19:51:00 THE MASTER PLAN FOR AT AREA THE BASIS OF THE CERTIFIED
19:51:03 SITE PLAN AT THE PD LEVEL.
19:51:06 HAVING SAID THAT, THEY BUILT THAT FLEXIBILITY INTO IT
19:51:09 AND THEY HAVE A SPECIFIC NOTE ON THERE THAT SAYS USES
19:51:13 DEPICTING DEMARCATION BETWEEN LAND USE CATEGORIES MAY
19:51:16 BE ADJUSTED A I COULD COME DATE MARKET CONDITIONS AND
19:51:22 INNOVATIVE BUILDING DESIGNS AND EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
19:51:25 REGULATORY APPROVAL THAT SETS PRECEDENCE FOR THIS
19:51:26 PROJECT.
19:51:30 WHAT IS THE FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY?
19:51:31 REGIONAL MIXED USE 1 MOUNTAIN.
19:51:35 THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST INTENSE LAND USES YOU COULD
19:51:38 POSSIBLY HAVE IN YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
19:51:40 THE PLANNER FOR THE OPPOSITION -- IN THEIR OPPOSITION
19:51:43 REPORT WHO IS NOT HERE INDICATED THEY WANTED
19:51:45 NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL IN THIS LOCATION.
19:51:47 SO I WENT BACK THROUGH IT.
19:51:51 THERE ARE NO REGULATORY APPROVALS IN PLACE THAT WOULD
19:51:53 REQUIRE ANY COMMERCIAL USES IN THIS DRI TO BE
19:51:55 NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE.
19:51:58 THERE IS A MUCH LARGER HOTEL A BLOCK AWAY.
19:52:00 AND THAT IS WHY THIS HOTEL IS COMPATIBLE AND
19:52:05 APPROPRIATE IN OUR REGIONAL MIXED USE LAND USE
19:52:05 CATEGORY.
19:52:08 LASTLY I LOOKED AT THE HISTORICAL ZONING FOR THE
19:52:09 PARCEL.
19:52:11 THE CITY OF TAMPA APPROVED THIS FOR NONRESIDENTIAL
19:52:14 USES.
19:52:17 NEVER CONSIDERED THE ROAD TO BE THE DEMARCATION LINE.
19:52:20 RATHER THE ENTIRE PARCEL OR THE AREA THAT IS DESIGNATED
19:52:25 ON THE DRI MAP AND THE PLAN AS NONRESIDENTIAL AND
19:52:27 THEREFORE THOSE USES THAT ARE APPROVED FOR THAT MIXED
19:52:29 USE PARCEL ARE ALLOWED ON THIS SITE.
19:52:33 IN PARTICULAR, AND, AGAIN, THE PLAN IS TO -- PLANNERS
19:52:36 WHO ORIGINALLY WORKED ON THIS DRI DID HAVE THE
19:52:40 FORESIGHT TO STATE THAT ON THE MAP, USES DEPICTING
19:52:44 DEMARCATION OF LAND USE CATEGORIES MAY BE ADJUSTED TO
19:52:48 ACCOMMODATE MARKET CONDITIONS AND INNOVATIVE BUSINESS
19:52:48 DESIGN.
19:52:52 SET IN ANOTHER WAY, WHY YOUR ZONING HISTORY SHOW THE IT
19:52:54 IS NOTE KNIGHT'S RUN, BUT THE GATE.
19:52:57 SO YOU HAVE ALREADY DRAWN THAT LINE.
19:53:00 AS MY COLLEAGUES HAVE SHOWN IN THE PRESENTATION, THE
19:53:03 RESIDENTIAL LAND USES BEHIND THE GATES ARE PROTECTED
19:53:07 AND BUFFERED BY THE GATES.
19:53:11 AND A WIDE VARIETY OF HIVTS IN HARBOUR ISLAND NORTH AND
19:53:11 SOUTH OF THE GATE.
19:53:16 THAT IS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH RMU-100 WHICH ALLOWS FOR
19:53:20 LOW-RISE, MEDIUM-RISE AND HIGH-RISE TO CO-EXIST.
19:53:23 THE BUILDING DESIGN ITSELF ENCOURAGES PEDESTRIAN
19:53:26 ACTIVITY AND AN ARTICLE AS WELL IN MY PLANNING REPORT
19:53:28 THAT TALKS ABOUT HOW THE TRANSPARENCY OF THE BUILDING
19:53:33 IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN HUMAN SCALE AND WILL SPUR
19:53:36 PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY AND SENSITIVE TO THE URBAN CONTEXT
19:53:38 OF THE COMMUNITY AND IT IS FUNNY BECAUSE I USE THE SAME
19:53:40 PICTURE THAT THE OPPOSITION USED TO LOOK.
19:53:44 WHEN I LOOKED AT IT, I THOUGHT THAT IS A 1980S BANK
19:53:47 TOTALLY INCONSISTENT WITH THE BEAUTIFUL HIGH-RISES
19:53:47 SURROUNDING IT.
19:53:50 SO I SAW THE SAME PICTURE AND LOOKED AT THAT TIME
19:53:50 COMPLETELY DIFFERENTLY.
19:53:53 THEREFORE, IT IS MY OPINION THAT THIS IS VERY
19:53:56 APPROPRIATE FOR A MIXED USE AREA AND DEMONSTRATES
19:53:59 CONSISTENCY OF A HOTEL.
19:54:01 AND I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
19:54:03 >> JAKE CREAMER AGAIN.
19:54:08 MISS SPIDELL, IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL PLANNING IS THIS
19:54:12 CONSISTENT WITH THE COMP PLAN AND PD.
19:54:13 >> YES.
19:54:15 >> JAKE CRAMER.
19:54:17 FOR THE RECORD, WE HEARD A LOT TONIGHT.
19:54:19 AND I WOULD LIKE TO FOCUS ON THE LEGAL STANDARD THAT WE
19:54:20 ARE APPLYING TONIGHT.
19:54:23 AS YOU ALL KNOW WHEN IT COMES TO REZONINGS, NOT A
19:54:25 POPULARITY CONTEST.
19:54:28 WE ARE APPLYING YOUR LAWS TO THE EVIDENCE.
19:54:31 WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT JUST TO WISH TO MAINTAIN THE
19:54:34 STATUS QUO, THAT IS NOT ENOUGH.
19:54:35 THAT IS NOT A DEFENSE.
19:54:37 AND WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT CITIZEN TESTIMONY -- THIS
19:54:39 IS VERY IMPORTANT.
19:54:42 CITIZEN TESTIMONY ON TECHNICAL SUBJECTS LIKE LAND USE
19:54:45 PLANNING, LIKE ENGINEERING, LIKE TRAFFIC, LIKE
19:54:48 POLLUTION, THOSE ARE EXPERT SUBJECTS THAT ONLY EXPERTS
19:54:50 CAN TESTIFY ON.
19:54:53 COUNCIL, YOU DIDN'T HEAR FROM AN EXPERT ON ANY OF THOSE
19:54:55 SUBJECTS TONIGHT FROM THE OPPOSITION.
19:54:58 THE ONLY EVIDENCE IN THE RECORD TONIGHT IS YOUR
19:55:03 PROFESSIONAL PLANNING STAFF'S OPINION, THE OPINION OF
19:55:06 THE PLANNING COMMISSION, MISS SPIDELL, HER OPINION.
19:55:09 THAT IS THE PLANNING -- THOSE ARE THE PLANNING OPINIONS
19:55:10 IN THE RECORD TONIGHT.
19:55:16 WHAT THAT MEANS IS, ONCE WE HAVE ESTABLISHED OUR CASE,
19:55:19 THE BURDEN SHIFTS UNDER THE CASE LAW TO THE OPPOSITION.
19:55:23 THE OPPOSITION THEN HAS TO SHOW THAT THE CURRENT USE OF
19:55:27 THE LAND IS REASONABLE AND DOES NOT EFFECT -- DOES NOT
19:55:31 ADVERSELY EFFECT OUR PROPERTY RIGHTS.
19:55:33 COUNCIL, I WOULD SUGGEST TO YOU THEY HAVE NOT EVEN
19:55:36 TRIED TO MAKE THAT CASE.
19:55:37 THIS IS THE CURRENT PROPERTY.
19:55:41 IF WE CAN GO TO THE POWERPOINT PLEASE.
19:55:45 WE HAVE AN OLD, OUTDATED BANK BUILDING THAT IS RIGHT
19:55:48 NEXT TO A WALL.
19:55:52 WE HAVE A 12-STORY BUILDING AND A 21-STORY BUILDING
19:55:54 NEXT TO THIS BUILDING.
19:55:58 THE DRI, THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE DRI AND THE PLANS
19:56:02 AROUND THIS PROPERTY, AROUND THIS -- AND HARBOUR
19:56:06 ISLAND, THE WHOLE PURPOSE WAS TO MIX USES, TO MIX
19:56:10 HEIGHT, SO WE GET THIS FABRIC WHERE PEOPLE CAN WALK.
19:56:12 WHERE WE CAN HAVE THIS EXTENSION OF DOWNTOWN.
19:56:16 THAT IS WHAT THE PLANNING OPINIONS ARE AS FAR AS THE
19:56:19 ENTITLEMENTS THAT ARE ALLOWED.
19:56:22 YOU KNOW, OUR SCALE IS SIMILAR.
19:56:25 YOU ARE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH THE HOTEL HYATT WHICH
19:56:31 HAS 178 ROOMS AND EPICURION WITH 137 ROOMS AND SOON
19:56:32 INCREASING TO 188 ROOMS.
19:56:36 THAT IS THE SCALE WE ARE LOOKING AT.
19:56:40 THE OP SIGNIFICANCE -- I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST THAT THEY
19:56:43 DIDN'T OFFER ANYTHING TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND ON
19:56:45 BAYSHORE.
19:56:47 IN COUNCIL HAS APPROVED MANY PROJECTS, PREVIOUS
19:56:52 COUNCILS HAVE APPROVED MANY PROJECTS OF VERY, VERY TALL
19:56:55 BUILDINGS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES AND
19:56:57 FOUND THEM COMPATIBLE.
19:57:02 IN THOSE CASES, THE FUTURE LAND USE OF THE TOWERS WAS
19:57:04 MUCH HIGHER THAN THE FUTURE LAND USE OF THE
19:57:06 SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
19:57:08 AGAIN, GOING BACK TO HARBOUR ISLAND.
19:57:09 YOU HEARD FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
19:57:13 THE ENTIRE ISLAND IS RMU-100.
19:57:14 THE SAME AS CHANNELSIDE.
19:57:17 THAT IS THE VISION AS ONE OF THE SPEAKERS MENTIONED
19:57:20 THAT THIS COUNCIL HAS SET FOR THE ISLAND.
19:57:24 THAT HAS BEEN THE CASE SINCE THE DRI WAS INITIATED 40
19:57:28 YEARS AGO.
19:57:31 COUNCIL, I WANT TO GO BACK AND ADDRESS ONE PERCEIVED
19:57:34 TRAFFIC CONCERN BECAUSE I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MY CLIENT
19:57:35 TONIGHT.
19:57:38 I MENTION TO YOU A REPORT THAT WAS PREPARED BY CITY
19:57:41 STAFF'S CONSULTANT.
19:57:45 THAT REPORT RECOMMENDS ABOUT A DOZEN POTENTIAL
19:57:49 SOLUTIONS TO THE OFF-SITE, OFF THE ISLAND TRAFFIC
19:57:51 PROBLEMS THAT YOU JUST HEARD ABOUT TONIGHT FROM MANY
19:57:52 SPEAKERS.
19:57:54 LIBERTY IS WILLING TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE.
19:57:57 THIS ISN'T A PROBLEM WE HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO OR CAUSED.
19:57:58 >>JOSEPH CITRO: 30 SECONDS.
19:57:59 >> THANK YOU.
19:58:04 LIBERTY IS WILLING TO CONTRIBUTE $50,000 TO THE CITY'S
19:58:07 IMPLEMENTATION WITHIN THREE YEARS OF CERTIFICATE OF
19:58:09 OCCUPANCY OF THE HOTEL TO ANY OF THE SOLUTIONS THAT THE
19:58:12 CITY CHOOSES FROM THIS REPORT.
19:58:14 SO I WANTED TO PUT THAT ON THE TABLE.
19:58:17 WE ARE HAPPY TO ADD THAT AS A NOTE, YOU KNOW, AS IT
19:58:20 WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO THE SITE PLAN BETWEEN FIRST AND
19:58:20 SECOND READING.
19:58:21 THANK YOU.
19:58:25 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
19:58:27 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CITRO.
19:58:29 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MR. SHELBY.
19:58:31 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT WOULD BE INAPPROPRIATE TO PUT ON
19:58:32 THE SITE PLAN.
19:58:35 THAT IS NOT RELATED TO THE CRITERIA.
19:58:40 THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE NOT -- NOT SOMETHING
19:58:43 THAT THE CITY WILL APPROVE TO HAVE PUT ON THE SITE
19:58:44 PLAN.
19:58:46 COUNCIL, MY SUGGESTION IS THAT NOT BE CONSIDERED.
19:58:50 I DON'T BELIEVE THERE WILL BE ANY MECHANISM OTHER THAN
19:58:55 THAT TO BE ABLE TO ENFORCE THAT.
19:58:57 >> IF I MAY RESPOND, THE ENFORCEMENT WOULD BE VERY
19:58:58 EASY.
19:59:01 WE WOULD HAVE A TIMING AND THE CITY'S POTENTIAL
19:59:03 COMPLIANCE WITH THE TIMING.
19:59:06 WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST IS, WE HEARD CONCERNS ABOUT THIS
19:59:07 CORRIDOR.
19:59:12 AND POTENTIAL -- POTENTIAL PEDESTRIAN AND AUTOMOBILE
19:59:14 CONFLICTS.
19:59:16 WE HEARD ABOUT THAT AS A CONCERN.
19:59:19 AND WE ARE -- YOU KNOW, WE ARE OFFERING TO HELP ASSIST
19:59:21 WITH THAT CONCERN.
19:59:23 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
19:59:27 BEFORE I ACCEPT A MOTION TO CLOSE, DO WE HAVE ANY
19:59:34 OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE PETITIONER OR OF STAFF?
19:59:35 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WELL --
19:59:37 >>JOSEPH CITRO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
19:59:39 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
19:59:41 I WROTE DOWN SOME NOTES.
19:59:44 MISS MANDELL SPOKE OF AVAILABILITY OF REMAINING
19:59:48 ENTITLEMENTS AND SHE NEVER SAID HOW MUCH AND WHERE.
19:59:49 NUMBER ONE.
19:59:52 NUMBER TWO, SPOKE OF A VERY LARGE HOTEL A BLOCK AWAY.
19:59:57 BUT YOU NEVER TOLD THIS COUNCIL, IS IT SOUTH OR NORTH
19:59:59 OF KNIGHT'S RUN AVENUE.
20:00:00 >> NORTH.
20:00:03 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THE ATTORNEY SPOKE OF HYATT AND
20:00:05 COMPARING HOTEL --
20:00:07 >>MARTIN SHELBY: SORRY, MR. MIRANDA.
20:00:09 DID YOU WANT A QUESTION OF THE WITNESS.
20:00:11 DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION OF THE WITNESS --
20:00:13 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: LET ME FINISH MY QUESTION --
20:00:16 PLEASE, SIR, I AM DOING THE QUESTIONING.
20:00:20 NOT YOU, SIR.
20:00:21 >>MARTIN SHELBY: UNDERSTOOD.
20:00:23 SPOKE OF TWO HOTELS.
20:00:26 ONE IN YBOR CITY AND ONE ON THE SOUTH END OF HOWARD, I
20:00:26 BELIEVE.
20:00:29 BOTH VERY WELL, VERY WELL RUN, VERY WELL, BUT THEY BOTH
20:00:32 -- THE SETTING OF THEM ARE CERTAINLY NOT THE SETTING
20:00:33 WITH THIS ONE.
20:00:35 I AM TRYING TO MAKE THE COMPARISON BECAUSE THEY GAVE ME
20:00:37 A COMPARISON WHICH DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
20:00:39 ONE IS IN YBOR CITY.
20:00:43 THE OTHER IN SOUTH HOWARD, THEN YOU BRING UP THE
20:00:44 BAYSHORE BOULEVARD.
20:00:50 THE BAYSHORE BOULEVARD STARTED BACK IN THE '70S OF
20:00:52 AVAILABILITY OF HIGH-RISE.
20:00:53 IF I RECALL. NOTICE I SAID "IF I RECALL."
20:00:58 BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE INFORMATION GIVEN TO THIS
20:01:02 COUNCIL REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF ENTITLEMENTS
20:01:05 REMAINING WHERE ARE THEY AND HOW -- I THINK WE ARE
20:01:06 ENTITLED TO THAT.
20:01:08 >> A GOOD QUESTION.
20:01:11 ON PAGE THREE OF MY PLANNING REPORT, THERE IS A TABLE
20:01:13 ONE DRI ENTITLEMENT.
20:01:16 ACCORDING TO THE LAST ANNUAL REPORT THAT WAS PROVIDED
20:01:21 FOR THE DRI WAS 1477 RESIDENTIAL UNITS AVAILABLE.
20:01:25 515,956 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE.
20:01:28 251 HOTEL ROOMS.
20:01:33 350 CONFERENCE CENTER ROOMS -- UNITS.
20:01:36 ZERO ATHLETIC FACILITIES THAT WERE CONSTRUCTED.
20:01:40 179,625 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL AND AN EXTRA 239
20:01:43 BOAT SLIPS.
20:01:44 THAT IS WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED AND MITIGATED FOR.
20:01:45 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU.
20:01:46 NOT TO MAKE A SCENE, WHEN DID YOU RECEIVE THIS ITEM FROM
20:01:48 YOURSELF TODAY, THIS BOOK?
20:01:50 >> I'M SORRY?
20:01:51 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WHEN DID WE RECEIVE THIS BOOK?
20:01:54 BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO READ THIS BOOK.
20:01:56 THIS BOOK WAS GIVEN TO US, BOOM, THERE IT IS.
20:01:58 AND HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHERE IT'S AT?
20:02:01 I APPRECIATE --
20:02:02 >> I CAN WALK YOU THROUGH --
20:02:04 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WE DON'T HAVE EYES THAT CAN SEE THROUGH
20:02:07 ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT QUICKLY.
20:02:08 AT LEAST I DON'T.
20:02:09 I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE OTHERS.
20:02:11 >> DID YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION FOR ME?
20:02:15 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU.
20:02:16 AND THE OTHER QUESTION WAS ON SOUTH HOWARD, THEY ARE
20:02:25 CERTAINLY GREAT ADDITIONS TO THE AREA, BUT IT'S A STANDARD
20:02:30 OF THE SAME AS YOU PRESENTED.
20:02:32 >> COUNCILMAN, I WAS JUST GIVING THOSE AS EXAMPLES OF HOTELS
20:02:40 WITH ROOM COUNT, SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING, MUCH
20:02:49 LARGER HOTELS.
20:02:50 I APOLOGIZE.
20:02:51 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NO PROBLEM.
20:02:52 THEN THE OTHER QUESTION WAS, MS. SPIDEL, YOU MENTIONED THE
20:02:55 LARGE HOTEL A BLOCK AWAY.
20:02:56 IS THAT SOUTH OR NORTH?
20:02:58 >> THAT'S NORTH.
20:02:59 IT'S WATERSIDE.
20:03:01 IT'S IN DIRECT WALKING DISTANCE NORTH AND SLIGHTLY WEST.
20:03:04 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: BUT IT IS NORTH?
20:03:06 >> YES.
20:03:07 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
20:03:09 SO IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH WATERSIDE --
20:03:13 [SOUNDING GAVEL]
20:03:23 >>JOSEPH CITRO: PLEASE.
20:03:24 ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS?
20:03:26 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOVE TO CLOSE.
20:03:28 >>LYNN HURTAK: SECOND.
20:03:29 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MOTION MADE BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
20:03:31 SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
20:03:34 ALL IN FAVOR?
20:03:35 ANY OPPOSED?
20:03:39 WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL?
20:03:46 WE HAVE TO VOTE ON ONE BEFORE WE VOTE ON THE OTHER.
20:03:48 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
20:03:50 MAY I GIVE JUST SOME CONSIDERATIONS AND THOUGHTS ON THIS, IF
20:03:53 I MAY?
20:03:55 >>JOSEPH CITRO: SURE.
20:03:55 >>LUIS VIERA: AND I KNOW WE ARE ALL LOOKING FOR
20:03:57 CONSIDERATIONS AND THOUGHTS BECAUSE THIS IS A -- THIS IS A
20:04:01 HOT BUTTON ISSUE, IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING.
20:04:04 YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE REASONS I KEPT ON ASKING FOR
20:04:07 INFORMATION ON WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN RELY UPON CERTAIN
20:04:09 THINGS IN ISSUING A DECISION ON THIS IS BECAUSE THIS IS A
20:04:13 LEGAL PROCEEDING.
20:04:14 A LEGAL PROCEEDING WITH ACCOUNTABILITY, WITH APPEALS,
20:04:17 ET CETERA, WHERE IF ONE SIDE DOESN'T LIKE THE WAY THAT IT
20:04:19 GOES, THERE'S A SEQUEL, RIGHT?
20:04:22 COULD BE MANY SEQUELS, IN FACT.
20:04:26 SO I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
20:04:27 I ALWAYS SAY WHENEVER IT COMES TO CASES LIKE THIS, WE HAVE
20:04:32 TO SEE IF THERE'S LEGS TO SUPPORT THAT STOOL EITHER TO
20:04:36 SUPPORT SOMETHING OR DENY IT, AND THERE'S A LOT OF ISSUES
20:04:39 THAT CAN GO INTO FAIRNESS AND EQUITY, ET CETERA, FROM AN
20:04:44 INFORMAL NON-LEGAL DEFINED PERSPECTIVE, BUT THAT MAY NOT BE
20:04:48 TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT ON A HEARING.
20:04:52 WHEN I LOOK AT THIS, THERE'S A NUMBER OF ISSUES HERE, NUMBER
20:04:54 ONE, THE PUBLIC BRINGS UP A LOT OF GOOD ISSUES AGAIN ON AN
20:04:58 INFORMAL BASIS, THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE ON THAT PIECE OF
20:05:04 PROPERTY.
20:05:05 OBVIOUSLY A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE.
20:05:07 THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S VERY, VERY COMPELLING.
20:05:09 WHAT BOTHERS ME IS THAT WE HAVE TWO, WHAT I CALL,
20:05:14 UNBLEMISHED REPORTS FROM CITY STAFF, AND FROM THE PLANNING
20:05:17 COMMISSION.
20:05:18 WITHOUT ANY WAIVERS SOUGHT WHATSOEVER.
20:05:23 THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WEIGHS ON MY MIND A LOT.
20:05:25 I LOOK AT ISSUES IN TERMS OF -- WE HAVE THE COMP PLAN.
20:05:30 APPARENTLY -- AND I AM GOING TO RELY UPON WHAT SOMEONE IN
20:05:33 THE AUDIENCE SAID.
20:05:34 I REMEMBER WHEN COUNCIL AMENDED THE COMP PLAN MAYBE FIVE,
20:05:38 SIX, SEVEN YEARS AGO -- RIGHT? -- THAT HAS BEEN RELIED UPON
20:05:42 IN THIS.
20:05:42 SO I LOOK AT LEGAL LEGS THAT CAN GO OWN A STOOL IN
20:05:47 SUPPORTING IT OR DENYING SOMETHING.
20:05:49 THAT'S WHAT I ALWAYS LOOK FOR BECAUSE THIS IS A LEGAL
20:05:52 PROCESS WHERE THERE IS ACCOUNTABILITY, APPEALS, AND WHAT I
20:05:56 CALL SEQUELS.
20:05:58 SO TONIGHT MAY BE A ROCKY 1.
20:06:00 THERE'S GOING TO BE A ROCKY 2, 3, 4, 5 LATER ON POTENTIALLY.
20:06:04 JUST SOME GENERAL THOUGHTS AND CONSIDERATIONS, IF I MAY.
20:06:07 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
20:06:09 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YOU'RE WELCOME.
20:06:22 IF OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE THOUGHTS, ET CETERA.
20:06:24 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I WAS HOPING TO HEAR A MOTION AND THEN WE
20:06:26 WOULD HAVE DISCUSSION AFTER A MOTION IS MADE.
20:06:33 THERE IS NO MOTION YET.
20:06:35 NOBODY HAS MADE A MOTION.
20:06:36 >>LUIS VIERA: JUST TO GET DISCUSSION STARTED, READ NUMBER
20:06:40 3, I MOVE AN ORDINANCE --
20:06:42 >> WE STILL HAVE ITEM 2.
20:06:45 >>LUIS VIERA: EXCUSE ME, I'M SO SORRY.
20:06:47 >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
20:06:49 ITEM NUMBER 2 I GUESS IS A COMPANION TO THIS, BUT YOU HEARD
20:06:54 TALK ABOUT THE DRI AND ENTITLEMENTS UNDER THE DRI.
20:06:58 SO THERE ARE EXCESS TITLEMENT IN THE AREA OF REGIONAL
20:07:05 IMPACT.
20:07:05 THIS DEVELOPER DOES NOT OWN THOSE ENTITLEMENTS.
20:07:08 SO THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE THIS NOTICE OF PROPOSED CHANGE
20:07:11 BEFORE YOU SO THAT, WHICH IS REQUESTING TO THE ENTITLEMENTS
20:07:16 WITHIN THE DRI WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE REZONING TO GO FORWARD.
20:07:20 THAT'S WHY THE DRI AMENDMENT IS FIRST.
20:07:24 SO IF COUNCIL WOULD LIKE, THEN I WOULD LIKE TO STATE THOUGH
20:07:30 BECAUSE THERE WAS A CHANGE IN THE AMENDMENT TO THE NOTICE OF
20:07:33 PROPOSED CHANGE, WHICH A NUMBER OF PROPOSED HOTEL ROOMS AND
20:07:38 THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION IN THE ORDINANCE, SO I DID
20:07:40 WANT TO MAKE THE STATEMENT FOR THE RECORD, AND BETWEEN FIRST
20:07:43 AND SECOND READING MAKE ANY CORRECTIONS TO THE ORDINANCE, SO
20:07:47 THE INCREASE IN ENTITLEMENTS UNDER THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER
20:07:49 WOULD PERMIT A MAXIMUM OF 150 HOTEL ROOMS WITH ANCILLARY
20:07:53 USES AND 160 PARKING SPACES, AND THEN THE TERMINATION OF THE
20:07:58 DEVELOPMENT ORDER WOULD BE SEPTEMBER 27th OF 2024.
20:08:04 ENTITLEMENT IS STILL THE SAME ON THE ORDINANCE, THOUGH.
20:08:06 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU.
20:08:06 AND I DO THIS TO GET THE CONVERSATION STARTED, TO THE EXTENT
20:08:10 THAT COUNCIL MEMBERS WANT TO GIVE THEIR THOUGHTS, BECAUSE I
20:08:12 AM OPEN TO THOUGHTS, RIGHT?
20:08:14 I AM OPEN TO THOUGHTS.
20:08:14 SO HERE WE GO.
20:08:16 I READ AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF TAMPA, FLORIDA APPROVING
20:08:18 THE SIXTH AMENDMENT TO A DEVELOPMENT ORDER RENDERED PURSUANT
20:08:22 TO CHAPTER 380 FLORIDA STATUTES FILED BY LIBERTY HOSPITALITY
20:08:25 MANAGEMENT LLC FOR HARBOR ISLAND A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED
20:08:29 DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL IMPACT PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE,
20:08:31 WITH THE CORRECTIONS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING THAT
20:08:34 MS. JOHNSON-VELEZ REFERENCED.
20:08:36 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I HAVE HEARD A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN VIERA.
20:08:42 IS THERE A SECOND?
20:08:43 >>LYNN HURTAK: I WILL SECOND.
20:08:45 >> SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
20:08:49 ANY DISCUSSION?
20:08:50 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: AND WE HAVEN'T HEARD THE CONVERSATION
20:08:58 ABOUT, I DON'T KNOW, THREE HOURS OR SO, WHICH IS FINE,
20:09:02 ENHANCING AND MAKE ME A BETTER PERSON IN UNDERSTANDING
20:09:05 WHAT'S GOING ON, AND I LOOK AT ONE THING, THE MAP BEFORE
20:09:10 ITEM NUMBER D.
20:09:11 THAT MAP AND THE CONSEQUENCES THAT I LOOKED AT, IF THIS
20:09:16 HOTEL WAS ANYWHERE, OR THIS PROPERTY WAS ANYWHERE NORTH, I
20:09:22 WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH IT.
20:09:24 NOT ONE.
20:09:25 BUT THIS DEVELOPMENT IS SOUTH OF KNIGHT'S RUN AVENUE, AND
20:09:30 THIS WILL STARTED, IN MY OPINION, POSSIBLE, NOTICE I SAID A
20:09:34 POSSIBLE, PATH, DOMINO EFFECT ON GOING IN THE SAME
20:09:38 MANNERISMS AS THAT ITEM THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT SOUTH OF
20:09:44 KNIGHT'S AVENUE, THE HOTEL.
20:09:45 SO THEREFORE I WOULD NOT BE SUPPORTING THE MOTION.
20:09:47 [ APPLAUSE ]
20:09:50 [SOUNDING GAVEL]
20:09:53 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I UNDERSTAND YOUR ZEAL.
20:09:59 COUNCILMAN GUDES.
20:10:00 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WHEN I LOOK AT THE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT HAVE
20:10:03 BEEN REFERENCED BY THE APPLICANT AND IN THE GENERAL PUBLIC,
20:10:06 YOU SEE SOME DISPARITIES THERE.
20:10:09 WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT CORNER.
20:10:11 WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, I BELIEVE ON THE
20:10:16 WEST SIDE, YOU SEE ALL OF THE BIG BUILDINGS WHEN YOU GO TO
20:10:18 THE EASTERN SIDE, A DISPARITY.
20:10:23 YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE OVERALL PICTURE OF THE COMP
20:10:28 PLAN, SOMETIMES WHEN DIFFERENT COUNCIL APPROVE THINGS,
20:10:33 THINGS DO CHANGE SOMETIMES.
20:10:37 DURING THE COURSE OF YEARS.
20:10:40 SOMETIMES WHEN COUNCIL MAKES THE DECISION, IT AFFECTS LATER
20:10:44 COUNCILS MUCH LATER ON WHEN WE HAVE TO MAKE DECISIONS, TOUGH
20:10:48 DECISIONS.
20:10:50 THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS ABOUT DEVELOPMENT, AND TAMPA IS
20:10:52 GROWING, AND THE HOTEL INDUSTRY BRINGS A LOT OF TOURISM AND
20:10:57 THAT WAS A BIG THING, BACK IN THOSE DAYS, THAT WE DIDN'T
20:11:04 HAVE ENOUGH HOTELS.
20:11:05 I THINK WE ARE STARTING TO GROW NOW WITH HOTELS.
20:11:08 BUT I LISTENED TO THE APPLICANT, LOOKED AT THE FACTS, AND
20:11:15 THERE ARE SOME VALID POINTS, BUT ALSO LOOK AT THE TOTALITY
20:11:20 OF WHERE THAT BUILDING MAY GO TO.
20:11:22 AND IT KIND OF BOTHERS ME WHERE IT'S SETTING AT WHEN I LOOK
20:11:26 AT THE DIAGRAM AND THE PHOTOS.
20:11:28 IT COULD BE A PROBLEM.
20:11:32 I CAN'T SAY IT WILL BE BUT IT COULD POTENTIALLY.
20:11:36 SO I AM STILL LEERY BUT I WILL LISTEN TO OTHER COUNCIL
20:11:41 MEMBERS.
20:11:41 WHEN I LOOK AT THE DESIGN, THE COMMUNITY DOES HAVE SOME
20:11:47 CONCERN.
20:11:47 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS?
20:11:50 >>LYNN HURTAK: I DO UNDERSTAND THE COMPATIBILITY.
20:12:01 I LOOK AT THAT.
20:12:05 I ALSO -- I DO SEE A CLEAR DEMARCATION WHERE THE GATES ARE.
20:12:13 WHERE THE GATES ARE, VERY CLEAR DEMARCATION BETWEEN WHAT I
20:12:18 SEE AS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE.
20:12:22 SO I AM ACTUALLY INCLINED TO GO THE OPPOSITE WAY AND APPROVE
20:12:26 THIS BECAUSE IT IS OUTSIDE, IT IS STILL A PUBLIC SPACE, AND
20:12:36 THE -- ALL OUR STAFF HAS APPROVED IT, FOUND IT CONSISTENT,
20:12:44 NO WAIVERS.
20:12:47 I FIND IT LEGALLY DIFFICULT TO DISAPPROVE.
20:12:51 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I AM UNDERSTANDING BOTH SIDES OF THIS
20:13:04 HEARING.
20:13:06 I LOOK TO A CERTAIN THING THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE INTO
20:13:10 CONSIDERATION.
20:13:14 THE EXISTING LAND USE, I AM GOING TO GO OFF TO ONE SIDE.
20:13:22 PEOPLE KEEP TALKING DENSITY, DENSITY, DENSITY, DENSITY.
20:13:28 WOULD THIS DENSITY BE BETTER SUITED FOR LIVING RESIDENTS, BE
20:13:36 IT BE APARTMENT OR COUNCILMAN, WHETHER YOU HAVE ONE-YEAR
20:13:40 LEASE OR SOMEBODY LIVING THERE FOR 20 YEARS?
20:13:45 THAT IS DISCUSSION FOR PLANNING.
20:13:47 AND FUTURE PLAN.
20:13:51 I KEEP HEARING ABOUT UBERS AND LYFTS, TRANSPORTATION, MODERN
20:13:57 TRANSPORTATION IS HOPEFULLY GOING TO BE DESIGNED FOR MOVING
20:14:01 PEOPLE, NOT VEHICLES.
20:14:08 I'M THINKING INTO THE FUTURE.
20:14:10 WOULD THIS HAVE BEEN BETTER SUITED FOR THE FUTURE?
20:14:18 WHERE WE HAVE TO HAVE, IN THIS TIME, IN THIS TIME, OF A
20:14:24 HOUSING CRUNCH.
20:14:26 IN THE FUTURE, HOPEFULLY -- AND I AM GOING TO GO THERE --
20:14:30 THE ALL FOR TRANSPORTATION TAX PASSES.
20:14:34 I UNDERSTAND BEFORE YOU START, I WILL BACK UP.
20:14:38 WE DON'T HAVE THE TRANSPORTATION NOW.
20:14:42 WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY IS, THIS WOULD BE BETTER USED FOR
20:14:45 FUTURE LAND USE.
20:14:48 AND I CAN SAY THAT.
20:14:52 I HAVE SAID MY PIECE.
20:14:56 THANK YOU.
20:14:56 WE HAVE A MOTION THAT HAS BEEN MADE BY COUNCILMAN VIERA,
20:14:59 SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
20:15:02 BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER, MR. CREMER.
20:15:06 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IS IT SOMETHING YOU ARE GOING TO REQUIRE
20:15:09 OF MR. CREMER?
20:15:10 YOU HAVE TO REOPEN THE HEARING.
20:15:11 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO REOPEN THE HEARING?
20:15:14 >> SO MOVED.
20:15:15 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MOTION BY COUNCILMAN VIERA, SECOND BY
20:15:20 COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
20:15:25 I JUST WANT TO BE SURE -- I REALIZE THERE'S ONLY SIX COUNCIL
20:15:29 MEMBERS ON HERE AND THEY HAVE TO HAVE FOUR AFFIRMATIVE
20:15:32 VOTES.
20:15:33 >>MARTIN SHELBY: WELL, I THINK THAT POINT HAS PASSED.
20:15:36 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THEN THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
20:15:38 FORGET IT.
20:15:38 I STAND CORRECTED.
20:15:39 OKAY.
20:15:40 ALL IN FAVOR -- MOTION MADE BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
20:15:48 SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
20:15:50 ALL IN FAVOR?
20:15:52 THANK YOU.
20:15:55 ROLL CALL VOTE.
20:15:56 >>MARTIN SHELBY: AGAIN THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR NOW IS ITEM
20:16:01 NUMBER 2.
20:16:02 AND THE ORDINANCE HAS BEEN READ.
20:16:04 >>THE CLERK: YES, THE ORDINANCE HAS BEEN READ.
20:16:07 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO.
20:16:10 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
20:16:13 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NO.
20:16:15 >>LYNN HURTAK: YES.
20:16:17 >>ORLANDO GUDES: NO.
20:16:20 >>JOSEPH CITRO: NO.
20:16:23 >>THE CLERK: MOTION FAILED WITH CARLSON BEING ABSENT,
20:16:26 MANISCALCO, CITRO, MIRANDA, AND GUDES VOTING NO.
20:16:33 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THE MOTION HAS BEEN DENIED.
20:16:40 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WE HAVE TO MAKE A MOTION NOW.
20:16:43 I'M SORRY.
20:16:43 >> GO AHEAD.
20:16:44 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I'M JUST SAYING, SOMEONE HAS TO MAKE A
20:16:47 MOTION.
20:16:47 >>JOSEPH CITRO: OKAY, MAKE A MOTION FOR -- DO I HEAR A
20:16:52 MOTION?
20:16:54 >>MARTIN SHELBY: NO, A MOTION FOR NUMBER TWO.
20:16:57 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YOU HAVE TO STICK ON TWO.
20:16:59 IT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED.
20:17:01 IT HASN'T BEEN DENIED.
20:17:02 IT HAS NOT BEEN DENIED.
20:17:03 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT'S CORRECT.
20:17:05 MR. MIRANDA IS CORRECT.
20:17:06 NOW, COUNCIL, ACCORDING TO YOUR CHARTER, YOU NEED AN
20:17:09 AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF FOUR IN ORDER TO TAKE ACTION
20:17:13 PARTICULARLY ON THIS DRI, SO IF THERE'S NOT ANOTHER MOTION
20:17:17 IN ORDER, IT WOULD BE A MOTION TO DENY.
20:17:21 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MS. WELLS, WE HAVE THE CRITERIA HERE
20:17:29 BEGINNING WITH ITEM NUMBER 3, THERE'S NOT ONE FOR ITEM
20:17:32 NUMBER 2.
20:17:32 MAY I JUST MAKE A MOTION TO DENY THIS DRI WITHOUT HAVING TO
20:17:36 STATE, TO GO INTO THE MORE DETAILS?
20:17:41 >>CATE WELLS: YES, SIR, THAT'S FINE.
20:17:43 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I MAKE A MOTION TO DENY ITEM NUMBER 2,
20:17:45 DRI-22-72367.
20:17:53 I THINK THAT'S IT.
20:17:54 ALL RIGHT.
20:17:55 MOTION TO DENY.
20:17:56 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WOULD IT BE CORRECT TO PUT, AS FAR AS
20:18:02 I'M CONCERNED, WHY?
20:18:04 I DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE DETAILS.
20:18:06 THEN I WILL LEAVE IT THE WAY IT IS.
20:18:07 I SECOND THE MOTION FROM MR. MANISCALCO.
20:18:10 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MOTION MADE BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO,
20:18:13 SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
20:18:15 ROLL CALL VOTE.
20:18:16 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
20:18:18 >>LYNN HURTAK: NO.
20:18:19 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
20:18:21 >>LUIS VIERA: NO.
20:18:23 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
20:18:26 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
20:18:27 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED WITH CARLSON BEING ABSENT,
20:18:30 VIERA AND HURTAK VOTING NO.
20:18:32 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
20:18:33 >> COUNCIL, WOULD YOU CONSIDER REOPENING, TALK ABOUT THE
20:18:40 NEXT ITEM?
20:18:41 >>JOSEPH CITRO: WE HAVE ALREADY CLOSED ON THAT.
20:18:47 I HAVE NEVER PERSONALLY REOPENED -- THE FIRST PART HAS BEEN
20:18:51 DENIED.
20:18:52 >> THESE MOTIONS STAND SEPARATELY.
20:18:56 I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS CLEAR.
20:18:58 >>JOSEPH CITRO: WITHOUT THE FIRST ONE, THE SECOND ONE
20:19:02 BECOMES NULL AND VOID, AM I CORRECT?
20:19:06 MS. WELLS?
20:19:07 >> THAT'S NOT CORRECT.
20:19:08 THAT'S WHAT I WAS HOPING TO EXPLAIN.
20:19:10 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MS. WELLS, WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXPLAIN?
20:19:12 >>CATE WELLS: WITHOUT THE AMENDMENT TO THE DRI, DEVELOPMENT
20:19:18 ORDER, I DON'T SEE HOW THE REZONING CAN MOVE FORWARD.
20:19:22 BUT IF MR. CREMER DISAGREES WITH THAT, CERTAINLY HE CAN
20:19:26 SPEAK TO COUNCIL ON THAT POINT.
20:19:27 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THEN DO WE NEED A MOTION TO REOPEN FOR
20:19:31 NUMBER 3?
20:19:40 WE HAVE A MOTION MADE BY COUNCILMAN VIERA.
20:19:42 SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO TO REOPEN FILE REZ 21-52.
20:19:49 MR. CREMER.
20:19:54 I'M SORRY.
20:19:55 ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
20:19:56 ANY OPPOSED?
20:19:58 THANK YOU.
20:19:59 MR. CREMER.
20:20:00 SORRY, IT'S BEEN A LONG NIGHT ALREADY.
20:20:02 >> I APPRECIATE THE INDULGENCE.
20:20:05 I KNOW IT'S BEEN A LONG NIGHT.
20:20:06 I JUST WANT TO EXPLAIN, NOW THAT IT HAS BEEN DENIED, IF THE
20:20:10 CONCERN WAS THAT WE WERE ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL ENTITLEMENTS,
20:20:13 YOU CAN STILL APPROVE THE REZONING.
20:20:14 WE WOULD JUST BE FORCED TO GO OUT AND APPLY OUR ENTITLEMENTS
20:20:18 FROM THOSE WHO HAVE THEM.
20:20:20 THE ISLAND HAS ONLY BEEN BUILT OUT AT ABOUT HALF OF ITS
20:20:24 DENSITY AND INTENSITY.
20:20:26 I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTOOD THAT.
20:20:28 THANK YOU.
20:20:28 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION TO CLOSE.
20:20:31 >>JOSEPH CITRO: BEFORE WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE, IS THERE
20:20:34 ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. CREMER?
20:20:41 IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT TO THAT?
20:20:44 >>MARTIN SHELBY: NO --
20:20:48 >> NO?
20:20:49 AGAIN, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE I HAVE
20:20:51 BEEN ON COUNCIL.
20:20:53 SO PLEASE FORGIVE ME ON THIS.
20:20:58 EXCUSE ME.
20:20:59 MR. CREMER, WOULD YOU ALLOW MS. MANDELL TO SPEAK?
20:21:02 >> I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO THAT.
20:21:06 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: LET ME SAY THIS.
20:21:09 AND I AM NOT HERE FOR ANY -- AT ALL BUT IN THE BEGINNING WE
20:21:18 MADE IT VERY CLEAR THESE WERE GOING TO BE HANDLED TOGETHER.
20:21:21 THERE'S NO DOUBT THE RECORD SAYS THAT IF YOU READ IT BACK.
20:21:23 WE HAVE SAID THAT.
20:21:25 WE VOTED ON THAT.
20:21:26 AND NOW WE SAY NOW WE WANT TO SEPARATE IT.
20:21:30 I AM NOT IN THE MOOD TO GO TO WHAT WE AGREED TO IN THE
20:21:37 BEGINNING.
20:21:37 AND ALL PARTIES AGREED.
20:21:39 I DIDN'T HEAR ONE OBJECTION.
20:21:41 SO IT'S MY ASSUMPTION AT THAT TIME THAT THERE WAS NO
20:21:44 OBJECTION, THAT EVERYBODY APPROVED TO GO WITH TWO AT ONCE, 2
20:21:51 AND 3.
20:21:51 AND I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY, AND I AM GETTING OF AGE, BUT I
20:21:56 STILL HEAR PRETTY DAMN WELL.
20:21:58 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MS. MANDELL?
20:22:06 >>JULIA MANDELL: AGAIN FOR THE RECORD, JULIA MANDELL.
20:22:10 I WANT TO JUST UNDERSTAND WHERE WE ARE PROCEDURALLY.
20:22:13 WHAT I UNDERSTAND PROCEDURALLY HAS OCCURRED IS THE NOPC, NO
20:22:17 ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T ACHIEVE FOUR
20:22:19 VOTES.
20:22:23 DENIED?
20:22:24 THEN I MISUNDERSTOOD THAT.
20:22:26 THAT BEING SAID, I WOULD AGREE WITH MR. MIRANDA.
20:22:28 THESE WERE OPENED TOGETHER, AND I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THOSE
20:22:32 NEED TO BE DEALT WITH IN THAT MANNER.
20:22:36 BUT AGAIN I WAS UNDERSTANDING WHERE WE WERE.
20:22:39 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, MS. MANDELL.
20:22:42 NOW WE HAVE HEARD THE VOICE OF EXPERIENCE.
20:22:43 WE HAVE ALSO HEARD FROM MR. CREMER.
20:22:46 IS THERE A MOTION TO CLOSE?
20:22:48 >> SO MOVED.
20:22:49 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MOTION MADE BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
20:22:52 SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
20:22:56 ALL IN FAVOR?
20:22:57 ANY OPPOSED?
20:22:59 WE ARE NOW CLOSED.
20:23:00 [ APPLAUSE ]
20:23:14 [SOUNDING GAVEL]
20:23:15 >>MARTIN SHELBY: WHOA, WHOA, EXCUSE ME.
20:23:17 >>JOSEPH CITRO: EXCUSE ME.
20:23:21 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE HEARING THAT WAS REOPENED IS NOW
20:23:23 CLOSED AND NOW YOU HAVE ITEM NUMBER 3.
20:23:26 >> NO.
20:23:27 >>JOSEPH CITRO: NO, BECAUSE WE DENIED THE FIRST ONE, NUMBER
20:23:31 2, WHICH MAKES NUMBER 3 NULL AND VOID NOW.
20:23:34 >> NOT ACCURATE.
20:23:36 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MS. WELLS.
20:23:43 >>CATE WELLS: CATE WELLS FOR THE RECORD.
20:23:47 WHEN STAFF WORKED ON THE REPORT FOR ITEM NUMBER 3, THE
20:23:50 REZONING, THE PRESUMPTION WAS THAT WITHOUT THE DRI
20:23:53 DEVELOPMENT ORDER BEING APPROVED, YOU COULDN'T MOVE FORWARD
20:23:56 WITH THE REZONING.
20:23:57 IF IT'S MR. CREMER'S POSITION THAT IT'S AN ISSUE OF SIMPLY
20:24:03 NOW ACQUIRING ENTITLEMENTS IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO MOVE
20:24:05 FORWARD WITH THE REZONING IF APPROVED, I WOULD ASK COUNCIL
20:24:08 TO GO AHEAD AND CONSIDER NOW THAT THE NOC FOR THE DRI
20:24:12 DEVELOPMENT ORDER HAS BEEN DENIED UNDER ITEM NUMBER 2, BASED
20:24:16 ON THE EVIDENCE THAT WAS CONSIDERED DURING THE HEARING, THAT
20:24:19 OPENED UP ITEM NUMBER 2 AND NUMBER 3, CONSIDER THE REQUEST
20:24:22 FOR REZONING BASED UPON THE EVIDENCE THAT'S BEEN TAKEN INTO
20:24:26 THE RECORD AND MAKE A DECISION AS IT RELATES TO WHETHER OR
20:24:29 NOT THE REQUESTED PD SITE PLAN IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND
20:24:33 DEVELOPMENT CODE AND WITH APPLICABLE PROVISIONS IN THE
20:24:36 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
20:24:37 >>JOSEPH CITRO: UNLESS SOMEBODY WANTS TO -- EXCUSE ME.
20:24:42 I AM GOING TO SIDE WITH COUNCILMAN MIRANDA ON THIS.
20:24:46 IF SOMEONE AGAIN WANTS TO REOPEN.
20:24:50 MR. MIRANDA.
20:24:50 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I APOLOGIZE TO ANYONE, BECAUSE I AM
20:24:54 GOING TO TAKE MY OWN ADVICE FROM COUNSEL FOR THE CITY.
20:24:59 I DON'T HAVE LAW DEGREE, ONLY COUNCILMAN VIERA, AND THAT
20:25:02 MIGHT NOT BE APPLICABLE IN COURT.
20:25:05 BUT I AM GOING TO AGREE WITH WHATEVER MS. WELLS SAID TO DO,
20:25:09 THAT'S WHAT I AM GOING TO DO.
20:25:10 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ARE YOU MAKING A MOTION TO REOPEN?
20:25:12 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AM MAKING -- I AM MAKING A MOTION TO
20:25:15 REOPEN BASED UPON ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY CATE WELLS TO
20:25:20 REOPEN.
20:25:21 >>CATE WELLS: TO TAKE ACTION ON THE REZONING APPLICATION
20:25:24 UNDER ITEM NUMBER 3.
20:25:26 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY, THE HEARING WAS
20:25:30 CLOSED.
20:25:31 >>CATE WELLS: I WILL DEFER TO YOU ON THE PROCEDURE OF WHEN
20:25:33 IT'S APPROPRIATE TO TAKE ACTION.
20:25:34 MY ADVICE TO CITY COUNCIL IS THAT THEY CONSIDER THE
20:25:37 APPLICATION THAT HAS BEEN FILED AS ITEM NUMBER 3 ON THE
20:25:41 REZONING, AND CONSIDER IT BASED UPON THE MERITS AND MAKE A
20:25:44 DECISION BASED ON WHETHER OR NOT IT COMPLIES WITH THE LAND
20:25:46 DEVELOPMENT CODE AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
20:25:50 BUT I WILL DEFER TO YOU, MR. SHELBY, AS THE CITY COUNCIL
20:25:53 ATTORNEY AS TO PROCEDURE.
20:25:54 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION THEN,
20:25:56 COUNCIL, THAT AS MR. MIRANDA HAS STATED THAT THIS WAS
20:26:00 SUPPOSED TO BE TAKEN TOGETHER, AND YOU HAVE HEARD EVERYTHING
20:26:03 THAT YOU NEED TO HEAR, YOU HAVE TAKEN IN THE EVIDENCE THAT
20:26:07 YOU NEED TO WEIGH THE COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE TO
20:26:10 WEIGH THE DECISION.
20:26:11 AND THAT BEING SAID, WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IS THE
20:26:19 ORDINANCE THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU, AND MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE
20:26:21 THAT YOU DON'T REOPEN.
20:26:24 IS THERE A MOTION ALREADY TO REOPEN?
20:26:27 YOU DIDN'T VOTE ON IT YET.
20:26:28 SO MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO NOT REOPEN THE HEARING BECAUSE
20:26:32 THERE IS NO PURPOSE TO REOPENING THE HEARING BUT ACTUALLY TO
20:26:36 MOVE FORWARD TO COMPLETE IT BY TAKING A VOTE.
20:26:38 AND AGAIN, STATEMENTS OF FACT WHICH YOU RELY ON IN ORDER TO
20:26:45 MAKE YOUR DECISION, PLEASE.
20:26:46 >>JOSEPH CITRO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
20:26:49 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: LET ME SAY YOU LEARN SOMETHING EVERY
20:26:52 DAY, AND I LEARN SOMETHING EVERY DAY AND NIGHT BECAUSE WE
20:26:56 HAVE BEEN HERE DAY AND NIGHT.
20:26:57 BUT I LEARNED SOMETHING EVERY DAY AND THAT I WILL NEVER OPEN
20:27:01 TWO AT THE SAME TIME AGAIN, EVER.
20:27:02 >>JOSEPH CITRO: JUST WAIT.
20:27:06 [ LAUGHTER ]
20:27:08 JUST WAIT.
20:27:12 OKAY.
20:27:13 DO WE STILL HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO REOPEN THIS?
20:27:17 >> NO.
20:27:17 >>MARTIN SHELBY: WELL, WAS THERE A MOTION MADE AND A
20:27:24 SECONDED?
20:27:24 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I SECONDED IT.
20:27:26 WE DIDN'T VOTE ON IT.
20:27:27 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THEN THERE IS A MOTION ON THE FLOOR.
20:27:31 >> THAT'S FINE.
20:27:39 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOVED AND SECOND TO WITHDRAW IT.
20:27:42 >>MARTIN SHELBY: SOMEBODY HAS TO -- IF SOMEBODY FEELS -- IF
20:27:49 SOMEBODY WANTS TO TAKE ACTION, NOW THAT NUMBER 2 HAS BEEN
20:27:53 DEALT WITH, THE APPROPRIATE MOTION FOR NUMBER 3 WOULD BE A
20:27:57 MOTION TO DENY.
20:28:00 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MAY I ASK A YOU PROCEDURAL QUESTION?
20:28:04 SINCE NUMBER 3 WANTS TO BE HEARD SEPARATELY NOW, I GUESS, DO
20:28:08 WE HAVE TO HEAR ALL OF THE THREE, OR DO WE TAKE EVIDENCE
20:28:12 FROM 2?
20:28:14 >>MARTIN SHELBY: 2 AND 3 WERE HEARD TOGETHER.
20:28:16 ALL THE EVIDENCE THAT PEOPLE SPOKE WERE APPLYING 2 AND 3 AT
20:28:19 THE SAME TIME.
20:28:20 THAT WAS THE UNDERSTANDING.
20:28:22 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
20:28:24 >>CATE WELLS: IT'S GOTTEN A LITTLE CONFUSED BUT ITEMS 2 AND
20:28:26 3 WERE OPEN ALL TOGETHER.
20:28:29 ALL OF THE TESTIMONY OPENED PRESENTED BY THE APPLICANT, BY
20:28:34 MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AND JULIA MANDELL ON BEHALF OF ONE OF
20:28:38 THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS RELATED TO THOSE TWO ITEMS
20:28:40 COMBINED.
20:28:41 SO NOW THAT A MOTION HAS BEEN MADE AND PASSED WITH REGARD TO
20:28:45 ITEM NUMBER 2, WE WOULD ASK THAT COUNCIL MOVE ON AND MAKE A
20:28:49 SIMILAR MOTION CONSISTENT WITH, IF THAT'S YOUR PLEASURE,
20:28:53 CONSISTENT WITH THE ACTION TAKEN ON ITEM NUMBER 2, JUST TWO
20:28:57 SEPARATE MOTIONS.
20:28:58 AND AS WE HAVE DONE THAT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS,
20:29:02 WITH REZONINGS, WHERE COUNCIL WILL MAKE SEPARATE MOTIONS
20:29:06 WHILE THE ITEMS WERE OPENED TOGETHER, THE TESTIMONY WAS
20:29:09 PROVIDED AS IF IT WAS ONE HEARING, SEPARATE MOTIONS WERE
20:29:14 TAKEN AND AN APPROPRIATE ORDER AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE
20:29:16 RECOMMENDING TO CITY COUNCIL.
20:29:17 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: DO WE USE THE SAME FORMAT?
20:29:20 >>CATE WELLS: YES, SIR.
20:29:21 NOW YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE APPLICATION FOR REZONING AND YOU
20:29:26 WOULD LOOK AT THE APPLICABLE CRITERIA FOR PLANNED
20:29:29 DEVELOPMENT SITE PLAN AS WELL AS THE APPLICABLE PROVISIONS
20:29:33 IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
20:29:35 >>JOSEPH CITRO: WITH THE TESTIMONY THAT'S ALREADY BEEN
20:29:37 GIVEN.
20:29:37 >>CATE WELLS: THAT IS CORRECT.
20:29:38 I THINK THE ONE CORRECTION HERE IS THEY REMOVED THE ONE
20:29:41 WAIVER THAT WAS ORIGINALLY INCLUDED IN THE APPLICATION FOR
20:29:44 REZONING.
20:29:47 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, MS. WELLS.
20:29:48 THANK YOU, MR. SHELBY.
20:29:49 AS CHAIRMAN I AM NOW GOING TO TAKE CHARGE AND ASK FOR A VOTE
20:29:52 TO REOPEN NUMBER 3, REZ 22 --
20:30:00 >>> WE DON'T NEED TO.
20:30:01 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ALL RIGHT.
20:30:03 WELL, LET'S GET THIS PLANE LANDING.
20:30:07 YES?
20:30:09 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MAY I THEREFORE MAKE A MOTION TO DENY?
20:30:13 OR DO WE NEED TO TAKE -- I MOVE TO DENY REZ-21-52 FOR THE
20:30:20 PROPERTY LOCATED AT 800 SOUTH HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD DUE
20:30:24 TO THE FAILURE OF THE APPLICANT TO MEET HIS BURDEN OF PROOF
20:30:27 TO PROVIDE COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL STANDINGS EVIDENCE FOR THE
20:30:30 DEVELOPMENT AS CONDITION AS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN IS
20:30:32 CONSISTENT WITH TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, CITY CODE AND THE
20:30:35 APPLICANT FAILURE TO MEET ITS BURDEN OF PROOF WITH RESPECT
20:30:37 TO THE REQUESTED WAIVERS.
20:30:39 I AM GOING TO TELL YOU WHY.
20:30:41 FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES AND
20:30:44 POLICIES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
20:30:47 WHILE THE PROPOSED REZONING BE ALLOWED FOR CONSIDERATION
20:30:49 UNDER THE EXISTING FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY, THE PLANNING
20:30:52 COMMISSION STAFF CONCLUDED THAT THE PROPOSED REZONING IS
20:30:55 CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ANTICIPATED UNDER
20:30:59 THE RMU 100 DESIGNATION.
20:31:01 I FIND THAT THE PROPOSED REZONING IS NOT COMPATIBLE, WITH
20:31:05 THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN SOUTH OF KNIGHT'S RUN.
20:31:11 ALSO FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION
20:31:13 27-136, PURPOSE OF SITE PLAN CONTROLLED DISTRICT, THE
20:31:18 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN DOES NOT
20:31:21 PROMOTE OR ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS APPROPRIATE IN
20:31:24 LOCATION, CHARACTER AND COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING
20:31:26 NEIGHBORHOOD.
20:31:27 PROPOSED USE DOES NOT PROMOTE THE EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE
20:31:31 USE OF LAND AND INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THAT THERE WERE SOME
20:31:36 WAIVERS THAT WERE REQUESTED --
20:31:38 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NO WAIVERS.
20:31:39 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NONE AT ALL?
20:31:41 THEN I STOP THERE.
20:31:41 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IS THERE A SECOND TO THAT MOTION?
20:31:46 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SECOND.
20:31:46 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MOTION BY MANISCALCO, SECOND BY MIRANDA.
20:31:50 IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION?
20:31:51 >>MARTIN SHELBY: AND IF I CAN, MR. CHAIRMAN, WITH REGARD TO
20:31:54 FINDINGS OF FACT THAT'S BASED UPON COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL
20:31:59 EVIDENCE THAT YOU HAVE HEARD IN ORDER TO JUSTIFY THE
20:32:02 DECISION, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE BASIS, YOU HAVE
20:32:06 DISCUSSED IT IN THE PAST, IN YOUR DISCUSSIONS, BUT FOR THE
20:32:09 PURPOSES OF THE RECORD, IS THERE ANY COMMENT YOU WANT TO
20:32:12 MAKE AS TO WHAT SUPPORTS THAT PARTICULAR DECISION?
20:32:17 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I CAN ATTEST TO WHAT COUNSEL SAID.
20:32:21 MY FEELING IS THAT THE KNIGHT'S RUN AVENUE IS THE BORDERLINE
20:32:25 BETWEEN HIGH-RISE AND TRAFFIC GENERATING INDIVIDUALS LIKE
20:32:31 HOTELS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
20:32:34 WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS LOCATION, IT'S SOUTH OF KNIGHT'S RUN
20:32:39 AVENUE, AND YOU LOOK AT THE MAP PRESENTED BY THE PETITIONER,
20:32:42 ITEM C, THE LAST PAGE OF C, RIGHT BEFORE D, THE HOTEL WAS
20:32:48 REFERENCED WAS WAY AT THE FAR NORTHWEST CORNER OF -- A BLOCK
20:32:57 OR SO NORTH OF KNIGHT'S RUN AVENUE, AS FAR AS I CAN SEE,
20:33:02 SOUTH OF KNIGHT'S RUN AVENUE THERE IS DEVELOPMENT ALL
20:33:05 RESIDENTIAL.
20:33:07 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I AGREE.
20:33:11 >>MARTIN SHELBY: DID YOU SAY --
20:33:12 >>> I AGREE WITH THE ADDITIONS MADE BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
20:33:16 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU.
20:33:18 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I HAVE A MOTION MADE BY COUNCILMAN
20:33:19 MANISCALCO, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
20:33:21 ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION?
20:33:24 ROLL CALL VOTE.
20:33:24 >>THE CLERK: CARLSON?
20:33:28 >>LYNN HURTAK: NO.
20:33:30 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
20:33:32 >>LUIS VIERA: NO.
20:33:33 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
20:33:34 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES.
20:33:36 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
20:33:37 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED WITH HURTAK AND VIERA VOTING NO
20:33:42 AND CARLSON BEING ABSENT.
20:33:43 >>JOSEPH CITRO: WE WILL BE TAKING A TEN-MINUTE BREAK.
20:33:47 WE WILL BE BACK AT 8:45.
20:38:35 [ RECESS ]
20:47:38 [ROLL CALL]
20:47:39 >>THE CLERK: WE HAVE A PHYSICAL QUORUM.
20:47:42 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WE HAVE A PROBLEM.
20:47:45 >>JOSEPH CITRO: NO, YOU DON'T.
20:47:46 IF I MAY, COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, YOU MADE A STATEMENT EARLIER
20:47:54 THE NEXT TWO ITEMS WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HEAR ON OUR AGENDA
20:47:58 ITEMS NUMBER 4 AND 5 WERE REQUESTED TO BE HEARD TOGETHER.
20:48:01 IS THERE ANY MEMBER OF THIS COUNCIL THAT OBJECTS TO THAT?
20:48:04 [ LAUGHTER ]
20:48:14 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: HEAR THEM TOGETHER, WALK OUT.
20:48:28 TAKE THESE TWO TOGETHER, AND I SAID JUST TEN MINUTES AGO
20:48:34 THAT IF THEY WERE TOGETHER, I AM NOT GOING TO VOTE UNLESS
20:48:36 THE PETITIONER SAYS THEY ARE GOING TO LISTEN TOGETHER AND I
20:48:40 AM NOT GOING TO HAVE TO VOTE TWICE.
20:48:43 IF I HAVE TO VOTE TWICE I'M STEPPING UP BECAUSE MY WORD IS
20:48:46 MY WORD TO MYSELF, AND THAT'S HOW I WAS RAISED.
20:48:49 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. MIRANDA, IF I MAY ASK, WHAT DO YOU
20:48:54 MEAN BY VOTING TWICE?
20:48:56 BECAUSE WE HAVE IN THE PAST, COUNCIL HAS IN THE PAST TAKEN
20:49:00 VACATING ALLEYWAYS AND RIGHTS-OF-WAY.
20:49:03 YOU HAVE TAKEN THEM TOGETHER.
20:49:05 CERTAINLY YOU CAN HEAR THEM SEPARATELY, IF THAT'S COUNCIL'S
20:49:08 WISH.
20:49:10 BUT WHEN YOU SAY VOTE TWICE, I DIDN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND.
20:49:14 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WELL, HERE IS THE THING.
20:49:16 THE LAST ONE WAS PRESENTED TO US AS WE ARE GOING TO HAVE ONE
20:49:20 VOTE ON TWO ITEMS.
20:49:24 THEN AFTER THAT, THEY DIDN'T LIKE, I GUESS, I DON'T KNOW, 2
20:49:30 AND 3.
20:49:31 >>MARTIN SHELBY: WELL, YOU HEARD THEM TOGETHER BUT YOU HAD
20:49:34 TO VOTE SEPARATELY.
20:49:35 >>CATE WELLS: FOR THE RECORD, MY APOLOGIES.
20:49:41 COUNCIL UNDERSTOOD WHEN WE OPENED TWO ITEMS TOGETHER THAT
20:49:44 THERE WAS GOING TO BE ONE VOTE.
20:49:46 THE INTENT WAS THE OPPOSITE, THAT THERE WOULD BE ONE
20:49:48 PRESENTATION ADDRESSING BOTH APPLICATIONS UNDER ITEM -- THE
20:49:54 TWO SEPARATE ITEMS AND THEN WE HAVE TO HAVE TO TAKE TWO
20:49:58 SEPARATE VOTES IN THE ORDER THAT THEY SHOW ON THE AGENDA.
20:50:02 BUT MY UNDERSTANDING, AND MR. HUDSON WOULD ALSO LIKE ITEMS 4
20:50:06 AND 5 TO BE HEARD TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY ARE RELATED AND
20:50:11 IMPACT EACH OTHER.
20:50:12 ONE IS THE VACATING PETITION, AND THE OTHER IS THE REZONING
20:50:16 PETITION.
20:50:17 IF COUNCIL WERE TO INCLINED TO OPEN ITEMS 4 AND 5 TOGETHER
20:50:21 AND ALLOW ONE PRESENTATION COMBINED TO ADDRESS THOSE ITEMS,
20:50:26 WE WOULD ASK COUNCIL TO TAKE TWO SEPARATE MOTIONS.
20:50:29 FIRST WOULD BE A MOTION ON ITEM 4 WHICH IS THE VACATING
20:50:33 PETITION, WHICH WOULD HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED PRIOR IN HALL OF
20:50:37 FAME TO THE REZONING PETITION UNDER ITEM 5.
20:50:40 SO MY APOLOGIES IF THERE WAS CONFUSION ON THE PREVIOUS ONE.
20:50:43 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I'M THE ONE WHO SAID IT.
20:50:49 ALL RIGHT.
20:50:49 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I GO BACK TO MY ORIGINAL QUESTION.
20:50:52 DOES ANY MEMBER OF THIS COUNCIL HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO
20:50:55 HEARING ITEMS NUMBER 4 AND 5 HEARD TOGETHER?
20:50:58 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AM NOT OBJECTING TO IT BUT I SAID
20:51:00 SOMETHING AND IF I SAID SOMETHING I WANT TO DO IT, SO I WILL
20:51:01 STEP OUT FOR NUMBER 4 AND COME BACK AND VOTE FOR NUMBER 5.
20:51:06 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. MIRANDA, MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE IF
20:51:09 COUNCIL --
20:51:17 >> I'M OLD SCHOOL.
20:51:18 WHAT I SAY, I DO.
20:51:19 PERIOD.
20:51:21 I GOT HIT IN THE HEAD MANY TIMES WHERE I COME FROM.
20:51:24 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THEN MR. HUDSON, EXCUSE ME.
20:51:31 I WOULD PREFER THAT WE HEAR ITEMS 4 AND 5 SEPARATELY.
20:51:37 >>TYLER HUDSON: THAT'S FINE.
20:51:38 GIVEN THE NUMBER OF FOLKS ON THE DAIS WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE
20:51:41 ANY MORE, SO WE WILL PROCEED SEPARATELY THERE.
20:51:44 MIGHT BE A LITTLE OVERLAP BUT IT WILL BE A LITTLE SLOWER
20:51:47 BEING SEPARATE, BUT WE WILL PROCEED SEPARATELY.
20:51:50 >>JOSEPH CITRO: WE HAVE GOT ALL NIGHT.
20:51:51 DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
20:51:55 ALL RIGHT THEN.
20:51:56 THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM NUMBER 4, FILE VAC
20:52:00 22-04.
20:52:03 WHICH STAFF IS GOING FIRST?
20:52:07 >>RON WIGGINTON: I WILL BE.
20:52:08 RON WIGGINGTON, LEGAL DEPARTMENT. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.
20:52:10 ITEM NUMBER 4 IS THE VACATING APPLICATION.
20:52:12 I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND COUNCIL THAT IT HAS BROAD DISCRETION
20:52:16 IN ORDER TO APPROVE OR DENY THE REQUEST.
20:52:20 THAT YOU CONSIDER IN MAKING SUCH A DETERMINATION TO INCLUDE
20:52:23 WHETHER VACATING WILL ALLEVIATE THE PUBLIC OF COST OF THE
20:52:27 RIGHT-OF-WAY, A PUBLIC NUISANCE OR CURTAIL CRIMINAL
20:52:31 ACTIVITY, WHETHER IT WILL FOSTER REDEVELOPMENT AND WHETHER
20:52:34 PROPERTY OWNERS ACCESS WILL BE SUBSTANTIALLY DIMINISHED OR
20:52:37 COMPLETELY CUT OFF.
20:52:38 BEFORE THE PRESENTATION I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THERE
20:52:42 IS A PERMANENT PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION EASEMENT RESERVED IN
20:52:45 THE ORDINANCE OVER THE ENTIRE VACATED AREA THAT IS BEING
20:52:49 REQUESTED TO BE VACATED.
20:52:51 THIS TRANSPORTATION EASEMENT MAY ONLY BE RELEASED IF AND
20:52:54 WHEN PETITIONER HAS RECONSTRUCTED OR RECONFIGURED HENDERSON
20:52:58 AVENUE IN SUCH A WAY THAT IS APPROVED BY THE CITY'S MOBILITY
20:53:02 DEPARTMENT SO AS TO AVOID DEAD-END ON HENDERSON AVENUE.
20:53:07 MR. HUDSON IS HERE AND WILL EXPLAIN THE MOTIVATION BEHIND
20:53:10 PROCEEDING WITH THE VACATING REQUEST, WITH THE
20:53:13 TRANSPORTATION EASEMENT RESERVED, BUT BEFORE THAT I WOULD
20:53:16 LIKE TO OPEN THE FLOOR TO MR. SAMMONS.
20:53:18 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MAY I PLEASE, ANYONE THAT IS GOING TO BE
20:53:22 GIVING TESTIMONY TONIGHT IN ANY OF THESE CASES, WOULD YOU
20:53:26 PLEASE STAND TO BE SWORN IN?
20:53:32 THANK YOU.
20:53:33 (OATH ADMINISTERED BY CLERK)
20:53:40 >>JOSEPH CITRO: HAVE YOU BEEN SWORN IN?
20:53:42 >> YES, SIR.
20:53:45 I WOULD ASK THE CLERK TO SHARE MY SCREEN, PLEASE.
20:54:04 DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION, VAC 22-04, FIRST READING
20:54:08 CONSIDERATION.
20:54:11 IT IS PROPOSED VACATING REQUEST TO VACATE THE ALLEY LYING
20:54:15 SOUTH OF 7th AVENUE, SOUTH OF HENDERSON AVENUE, EAST OF
20:54:18 I-275, WEST OF TALIAFERRO AVENUE, FOR SUBDIVISION OF LYKES
20:54:23 SUBDIVISION AND TWO CITY OF TAMPA RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITIONS.
20:54:28 THE ALLEY WAS WIDENED TO 20 FEET AS A RESULT OF CONDITIONS
20:54:32 OF THE VACATING APPLICATION C-02-26 WHICH VACATED A PORTION
20:54:38 OF HENDERSON AVENUE.
20:54:40 THIS EXPANDED RIGHT-OF-WAY WAS PROVIDED FOR CONNECTION FROM
20:54:45 HENDERSON TO 7th AVENUE, AND TO NOT CREATE A DEAD-END AT
20:54:50 HENDERSON.
20:54:51 THIS ALLEY IS LOCATED IN CENTRAL TAMPA, ALSO AS YOU KNOW,
20:54:54 THE ALLEY IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE REZONING REZ 22-05.
20:55:03 THIS APPLICATION WAS FILED NOVEMBER 16 OF 2021.
20:55:07 THE APPLICANT'S OWN ALL OF THE PROPERTY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE
20:55:10 ALLEY THAT IS REQUESTED TO BE VACATED.
20:55:12 THE APPLICANT'S REASON FOR THE APPLICATION IS AS FOLLOWS:
20:55:16 THE RIGHT-OF-WAY WILL BE UTILIZED AS PART OF A MULTIFAMILY
20:55:19 DEVELOPMENT WHICH ACCESS WHICH WILL BE PROVIDED OTHER
20:55:24 ROADWAY ALTERNATIVES.
20:55:25 THIS ALLEY IS NOT HISTORIC DISTRICT OR OVERLAY DISTRICT.
20:55:28 THERE ARE NO EXISTING CODE VIOLATIONS ON THIS PROPERTY.
20:55:33 THE ALLEY IS APPROXIMATELY 5,200 SQUARE FEET.
20:55:37 IT IS IMPROVED ASPHALT PAVING.
20:55:39 IT IS OPEN AT BOTH ENDS.
20:55:41 THE ALLEY APPEARS TO BE IN USE BY 718 EAST HENDERSON FOR
20:55:45 ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY BY A GATE LOCATED OFF THE EAST SIDE
20:55:49 OF THE ALLEY.
20:55:49 FRONTIER HAS FACILITIES IN THE ALLEY AND HAS REQUESTED AN
20:55:52 OVERALL EASEMENT.
20:55:53 THE ALLEY DOES NOT CONTINUE TO THE SOUTH.
20:55:55 THE ALLEY CONTINUES TO THE NORTH BUT IS NOT IMPROVED ON THE
20:55:59 NORTH SIDE.
20:56:00 THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY IN RED, AND THE RIGHT-OF-WAY,
20:56:05 VACATED IN YELLOW -- REQUESTED TO BE VACATED IN YELLOW.
20:56:13 AGAIN, THE RIGHT-OF-WAY REQUESTED TO BE VACATED.
20:56:18 IT IS IN PINK HERE.
20:56:20 THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY IN GRAY.
20:56:25 THIS IS THE PLATTED PORTION OF THE ALLEY.
20:56:27 THIS IS THE EASTERN 7 FEET OF THE LYKES SUBDIVISION SHOWN
20:56:32 HERE IN RED.
20:56:35 AND HERE ARE THE TWO PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE
20:56:43 ALLEY WHICH IS THE EAST 13 FEET OF THESE TWO LOTS OF OAK
20:56:49 RIDGE SUBDIVISION, WHICH WAS ACQUIRED BY THE CITY OF TAMPA.
20:57:00 HERE IS AN OVERVIEW VIEW OF THE SECTION MAP SHOWING GENERAL
20:57:04 VICINITY OF THE AREA.
20:57:10 THE ALLEY LOOKING NORTH FROM HENDERSON AVENUE.
20:57:15 THE ALLEY LOOKING SOUTH FROM 7th AVENUE.
20:57:23 THE ALLEYWAY AT HENDERSON AVENUE LOOKING SOUTH FROM
20:57:26 HENDERSON AVENUE.
20:57:28 THERE'S NO CONTINUATION OF THE ALLEYWAY.
20:57:30 THE ALLEYWAY AT HENDERSON AVENUE IS A DEAD-END.
20:57:34 PREVIOUSLY A PORTION OF THE AVENUE THAT IS NOW VACATED.
20:57:45 APPLICANT'S PROPERTY LOOKING NORTH FROM HENDERSON AVENUE.
20:57:49 APPLICANT IT PROPERTY LOOKING EAST FROM THE ALLEYWAY, GATED
20:57:53 ACCESS TO THE REAR OF THE PARCEL.
20:58:01 EAST SIDE OF THE ALLEY TO BE VACATED.
20:58:10 LOOKING SOUTH FROM 7th AVENUE, THE WEST SIDE OF THE
20:58:12 ALLEY TO BE VACATED.
20:58:19 LOOKING WEST FROM THE ALLEY TO BE VACATED.
20:58:22 THIS IS THE ALLEY, THE CONTINUATION NORTH FROM 7th
20:58:25 AVENUE.
20:58:26 THE ALLEY IS NOT IMPROVED.
20:58:28 IT IS OPEN.
20:58:32 STAFF OBJECTS TO THIS REQUEST BASED ON OBJECTIONS FROM
20:58:35 TRANSPORTATION, PLANNING, AND TRAFFIC DESIGN.
20:58:38 THE IMPROVED ALLEY WAS MITIGATION FOR THE CLOSURE OF
20:58:44 HENDERSON BOULEVARD.
20:58:45 ALTERNATIVE DESIGN WILL BE NEEDED FOR HENDERSON BOULEVARD.
20:58:49 THE VACATING REQUEST IS APPROVED BY COUNCIL AND OVERALL
20:58:52 EASEMENT PRESERVATION IS REQUIRED FROM TRANSPORTATION, AND
20:58:55 FRONTIER, IF FACILITIES ARE TO BE RELOCATED WILL BE AT THE
20:59:00 APPLICANT'S EXPENSE.
20:59:02 THE APPLICANT MUST COMPLY WITH CHAPTER 27 LANDSCAPING, TREE
20:59:05 REMOVAL AND SITE PLAN.
20:59:06 THE APPLICANT WILL NEED TO WORK WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA REAL
20:59:08 ESTATE DEPARTMENT FOR ACQUIRING CITY OWNED RIGHT-OF-WAY.
20:59:13 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF?
20:59:27 MR. HUDSON?
20:59:28 >>TYLER HUDSON: DO YOU SEE MY SCREEN?
20:59:45 MY NAME IS TYLER HUDSON, ADDRESS 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
20:59:51 I RESPECT COUNCIL'S PATIENCE AND FOR THE FELLOW TRAVELERS ON
20:59:54 TONIGHT'S AGENDA.
20:59:55 I AM GOING TO GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT TO YOU.
20:59:59 I AM ONLY GOING TO DO THE RIGHT-OF-WAY ADVOCATING, NOT FOR
21:00:02 THE REZONING.
21:00:07 SO I AM HERE, HAVE A PRIVILEGE OF BEING HERE ON BEHALF OF
21:00:11 LEGACY PARTNERS, THE DEVELOPER OF THIS PROJECT.
21:00:14 THE CONTRACT PURCHASER FOR THIS PARCEL.
21:00:16 AND ALSO HERE WE HAVE FULL TEAM OF EXPERTS FROM THE
21:00:20 KIMLEY-HORN FIRM, CIVIL ENGINEER FOR THIS PROJECT, AS WELL
21:00:24 AS THE ARBORIST AND THE TRANSPORTATION CONSULTANT, AND
21:00:27 FINALLY I BELIEVE ON THE LINE WE HAVE DYNAMIK DESIGN,
21:00:35 ARCHITECT.
21:00:35 THIS IS PART OF THE ENCORE DEVELOPMENT ON THE NORTHERN EDGE
21:00:38 OF THAT GTE HEADQUARTERS.
21:00:40 THERE'S A SINGLE OUTPARCEL OF THAT DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS
21:00:43 ORIGINALLY INTENDED FOR A DAYCARE, AND MY CLIENT NOW ON THE
21:00:49 CONTRACT, THIS IS IN THE CBD PERIPHERY, 2.32 ACRES.
21:00:55 THE ALLEY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW, JUST THE ALLEY NOT
21:00:57 THE REZONING, ACTUALLY CUTS THROUGH HERE THE MIDDLE OF THE
21:01:00 PARCEL.
21:01:03 ZOOMING OUT AGAIN WHERE THE STAR IS, IT'S IN A VERY URBAN
21:01:08 AREA, IN THE URBAN VILLAGE, IN THE CENTRAL PARK CRA, AND
21:01:12 BUFFETED BY A LOT OF HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT THAT MAKES
21:01:15 SENSE GIVEN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION THAT I WILL
21:01:17 NOT TALK ABOUT NOW BUT I WILL TALK ABOUT IN THE REZONING.
21:01:22 AGAIN, I ONLY WANT TO SHARE THIS SLIDE FOR THE PURPOSE OF
21:01:26 AGAIN ARTICULATING THAT THE PROPERTY -- THE ALLEY DOES CUT
21:01:30 THROUGH THE PROPERTY.
21:01:31 THAT IS WHY WE ARE ASKING FOR THIS.
21:01:34 LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATING IN DETAIL.
21:01:37 AS ROSS RELATED TO YOU THE ALLEY WAS CONSTRUCTED IN
21:01:43 MITIGATION -- AND DISRUPTED BY PUTTING IN INTERSTATE 275 IN.
21:01:49 IT WAS A FAIRLY VIBRANT GRID, CHANGED WITH THE INTERSTATE
21:01:52 CONSTRUCTION, WAND WE ARE TRYING TO DO IN A VERY SMALL WAY
21:01:56 REPAIR A LITTLE BIT OF THAT DAMAGE.
21:01:58 THE AREA IN RED IS OWNED, IS PRIVATELY OWNED BY GTE.
21:02:04 WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING IN A SEPARATE APPLICATION THAT TRACKS
21:02:08 WITH THIS RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATING IS TO GIVE BACK THAT PORTION
21:02:12 OF HENDERSON SO THAT WHILE WE ARE CLOSING THIS ALLEY, WE ARE
21:02:16 GOING TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO REOPEN HENDERSON HERE, GO
21:02:20 UNDERNEATH THE INTERSTATE WHERE IT IS CURRENTLY UNVACATED
21:02:24 AND CONNECT IT INTO CENTRAL AVENUE OF THE.
21:02:27 WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO FACILITATE AN EAST-WEST
21:02:31 CONNECTION THAT RIGHT NOW STOPS AT THIS ALLEY.
21:02:36 HERE WE ARE PROPOSING TO ESSENTIALLY REVERSE THE PATTERN
21:02:38 NOW.
21:02:39 WE ARE GOING TO CLOSE THIS, DEVELOP AROUND THIS, AND THEN
21:02:44 GIVE UP A LOSS OF 16 UNITS ON THE PROJECT, GIVE THIS BACK TO
21:02:49 THE CITY AS A VEHICULAR PEDESTRIAN EASEMENT TO GET FROM
21:02:55 HENDERSON HERE ALL THE WAY UNDER THE INTERSTATE TO CENTRAL
21:02:58 AVENUE.
21:02:59 THAT IS SOMETHING YOU CANNOT DO TODAY.
21:03:01 YOU ARE STOPPED BY A LOT OF WEEDS.
21:03:06 WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE THIS ON HENDERSON ALL
21:03:08 THE WAY UNDER THE INTERSTATE.
21:03:11 ONE THING I WANT TO KNOW AND COUNCIL -- WOULD BE REASONABLE
21:03:16 TO ASK WHY WE ARE TRYING TO VACATE THE ALLEY WHILE ALSO
21:03:19 GETTING A PUBLIC EASEMENT BACK.
21:03:21 THAT DOES NOT MAKE A LOT OF SENSE.
21:03:23 IT'S REALLY JUST ABOUT TIMING.
21:03:24 THE REASON WHY WE ARE GRANTING THAT PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
21:03:27 BACK IS SOLELY FOR THAT TEMPORARY PERIOD BETWEEN WHAT WE
21:03:30 HOPE IS COUNCIL'S APPROVAL TONIGHT AND SECOND READING, WHEN
21:03:34 THAT PERIOD IS DONE AND WHEN WE ARE ABLE TO ACTUALLY PERMIT
21:03:36 THAT NEW EXTENSION OF HENDERSON.
21:03:39 AND THAT MUST BE DONE, THE CITY MUST APPROVE ALL OF THAT,
21:03:42 REALLY THE DEPARTMENT MUST APPROVE THAT, PRIOR TO US GETTING
21:03:44 ANY BUILDING PERMITS AT ALL, THAT HENDERSON EXTENSION THAT I
21:03:49 AM SPEAKING ABOUT HAS TO BE DESIGNED, APPROVED, BEFORE WE
21:03:54 CAN MAKE OUR FIRST PERMIT FOR ANY VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION.
21:03:58 AND THIS IS IN LINE WITH THE CITY MOBILITY PRIORITIES, A LOT
21:04:04 OF CONVERSATIONS WITH JORGENSEN, RESTORATION OVERALL IS A
21:04:08 GOAL THAT THE CITY HAS.
21:04:10 I DON'T WANT TO PUT WORDS IN ROSS' MOUTH OR CITY STAFF'S
21:04:15 MOUTH.
21:04:15 I THINK THE OBJECTION THAT YOU HEARD IS TECHNICAL IN NATURE,
21:04:20 RIGHT NOW THAT HENDERSON AVENUE EXTENSION DOES NOT EXIST.
21:04:23 HOWEVER, AS I AM SAYING, THAT WILL BE IN PLACE, IT WILL BE
21:04:27 PERMITTED AS PART OF THE VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION FOR THE
21:04:30 APARTMENT PROJECT.
21:04:31 I WOULD ALSO NOTE THAT WE HAD EXTENSIVE CONVERSATIONS WITH
21:04:34 FDOT WHO ARE LIKEWISE SUPPORTIVE OF THIS.
21:04:37 THEY OBVIOUSLY OWN WHAT'S UNDERNEATH THE INTERSTATE, BUT
21:04:39 THAT'S ALREADY VACATED THERE -- I'M SORRY THAT IS STILL
21:04:43 RIGHT-OF-WAY.
21:04:44 THAT IS NOT VACATED.
21:04:47 ZOOMING OUT A LITTLE BIT, WHAT THE HENDERSON IS CLEARED
21:04:51 THROUGH EAST OF NEBRASKA AND THEN ADDED A CONSPICUOUS STOP,
21:04:56 THERE IS AN AREA RIGHT HERE WHERE MOBLEY PARK APARTMENTS
21:05:01 ARE, THERE ARE BUILDINGS ON TOP OF THAT.
21:05:03 TO COMPLETELY RESTORE THE WESTERLY EASTERLY FLOW OF
21:05:06 HENDERSON, MOBLEY PARK APARTMENTS, WHEN THAT REDEVELOPS,
21:05:11 WHICH IT WILL AT SOME POINT, WOULD HAVE TO LIKEWISE GIVE
21:05:15 BACK SOME LAND AT HENDERSON JUST LIKE THIS DEVELOPER IS.
21:05:18 HOWEVER, WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS PROJECT IS WE ARE
21:05:21 ABLE TO, WITHOUT REGARD TO WHAT MOBLEY PARK DOES OR DOES NOT
21:05:25 DO, HOOK INTO CENTRAL AVENUE RIGHT HERE.
21:05:28 SO HENDERSON WOULD CONTINUE WEST, IT WOULD GO UNDER THE
21:05:32 INTERSTATE, WOULD CONNECT RIGHT INTO CENTRAL TO PROVIDE, I
21:05:35 THINK, A MUCH BETTER FLOW, NOT JUST TRAFFIC, BECAUSE THERE
21:05:40 MIGHT NOT BE VEHICULAR TRAFFIC, BUT BICYCLISTS, PEDESTRIANS,
21:05:44 YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GO WEST UP TO CENTRAL, AND IF YOUR END
21:05:47 DESTINATION, IN THE ARMATURE WORKS AREA, YOU HAVE TO DO A
21:05:50 LITTLE LOOP HERE, BUT RIGHT NOW THE CITY HAS A ONE-TIME
21:05:53 OPPORTUNITY TO GET BACK SOME RIGHT-OF-WAY THAT WAS LOST A
21:05:57 LONG TIME AGO.
21:05:58 I THINK THAT'S REALLY A COMPELLING ARGUMENT FOR APPROVAL.
21:06:01 >>JOSEPH CITRO: COUNCILMAN GUDES.
21:06:05 >>ORLANDO GUDES: GO BACK TO THAT PHOTO. SO YOU ARE SAYING
21:06:09 MOBLEY PARK IS GOING TO GIVE UP TO GET STRAIGHT IT THROUGH
21:06:13 TO HENDERSON BOULEVARD?
21:06:19 >>TYLER HUDSON: I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE FUTURE INTENT OF AN
21:06:22 OWNER WILL BE.
21:06:23 I AM JUST SAYING WE ARE GOING TO GIVE THIS PART OF
21:06:25 HENDERSON -- THERE IS VACATED RIGHT-OF-WAY RIGHT HERE.
21:06:29 HENDERSON WOULD STILL HAVE A GAP.
21:06:30 HOWEVER, HOWEVER, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO TIE HENDERSON HERE
21:06:34 INTO CENTRAL AVENUE.
21:06:36 SO WE ARE NOT CREATING A NEW DEAD-END AT ALL.
21:06:39 YOU WOULD BE EXTENDING HENDERSON INTO NORTH CENTRAL AVENUE
21:06:43 TO FOLKS TO GO NORTH, THEY COULD GO SOUTH, AND A ONE-BLOCK
21:06:49 DETOUR, THEY COULD GET AROUND THE MOBLEY PARK BLOCKAGE OF
21:06:53 HENDERSON.
21:06:53 BUT I WANT TO REITERATE, THIS IS A ONE-TIME -- IT IS UNUSUAL
21:06:58 FOR A PROPERTY OWNER TO GIVE BACK CERTAINLY VACATED
21:07:02 RIGHT-OF-WAY.
21:07:02 THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HANDLED A CASE LIKE THIS.
21:07:08 IT WON'T BE A PERFECT RECONSIDERATION BUT IT WILL AWFULLY
21:07:11 GOOD, TO ALLOW US TO GET TO CENTRAL AVENUE WHICH WE THINK IS
21:07:13 VERY IMPORTANT FOR RESTORING SOME MODICUM OF COHERENCE IN
21:07:19 THIS PARTICULAR PART OF THE CITY FOR WHICH THE GRID HAS BEEN
21:07:22 FAIRLY INTERRUPTED BY INTERSTATE 275.
21:07:25 AND TO ZOOM IN A LITTLE BIT.
21:07:28 IT'S CONFUSING WITH THE INTERSTATE BEING THERE.
21:07:30 BUT WE PROPOSE CLOSING THIS, UNTIL WE GET OUR PERMITS, OUR
21:07:34 TRANSPORTATION EASEMENT IS GOING TO BE RESERVED.
21:07:37 THE FOLKS WHO USE IT NOW, AND THIS IS MORE APPLICABLE FOR
21:07:40 REZONING, IF THESE TWO PROPERTY OWNERS SUPPORT THE PROJECT
21:07:43 AS A WHOLE.
21:07:44 THE EASEMENT WILL ALLOW FREE FLOW OF THIS ALLEY UNTIL WE
21:07:48 OBTAIN THE PERMITS FOR THIS CONSTRUCTION, AND FOR THE
21:07:51 BUILDING THAT WE ARE GOING TO GET THAT I WILL TALK ABOUT
21:07:53 LATER.
21:07:54 HENDERSON, WE WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP GENERALLY THE SAME WIDTH
21:07:57 OF THE STREETS, AND SIDEWALKS, IT'S GOING TO GO WESTERLY
21:08:01 UNDER THE INTERSTATE, AND THEN CONNECT TO CENTRAL.
21:08:03 IT'S NOT PERFECT, BUT IT'S AWFULLY GOOD AND IT'S A LOT
21:08:08 BETTER THAN WHAT'S THERE NOW, WHICH IS BOLLARDS AND A LOT OF
21:08:14 OVERGROWN WEEDS.
21:08:15 AND WITH THAT I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.
21:08:18 I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
21:08:19 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. TYLER?
21:08:24 I HAVE NONE.
21:08:24 MR. TYLER, ARE YOU PROPOSING THAT YOUR CLIENT IS GOING TO
21:08:29 REPAVE AND REDO THIS STREET?
21:08:31 OR ARE YOU JUST PROPOSING THAT YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE UP THE
21:08:33 EASEMENT THAT WAY?
21:08:35 >>TYLER HUDSON: SO WE ARE GOING TO GIVE THE CITY THE
21:08:37 EASEMENT, SO WE WILL OWN THE LAND, WE WILL GIVE THE CITY AN
21:08:41 EASEMENT, AND YES, WE ARE GOING TO BUILD IT.
21:08:46 WE WILL BE GETTING A PLN, THAT'S THE TYPE OF PERMIT THAT YOU
21:08:49 GET FOR INFRASTRUCTURE.
21:08:50 BLE IS WHAT YOU GET FOR BUILDINGS.
21:08:53 PLNs IS WHAT YOU GET FOR DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHEN A
21:08:57 PRIVATE ENTITY IS IMPROVING.
21:09:00 HARRISON STREET, NEAR THE OLD FLY BAR THAT IS GETTING
21:09:04 PUNCHED THROUGH, THE EXACT SAME PROCESS AS HERE, BUT IT WILL
21:09:07 BE A PRIVATE RESPONSIBILITY BUT WE'LL HAVE TO COMPLY WITH
21:09:10 OVER ONE OF THE CITY REQUIREMENTS.
21:09:11 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YOU ARE GOING TO REPAVE AND REFINISH THAT
21:09:15 WAY THE WALL TO CENTRAL?
21:09:17 >>TYLER HUDSON: YES.
21:09:18 IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THAT FROM THE GENTLEMAN WHO WILL
21:09:20 BE DEVELOPING THIS PROJECT --
21:09:22 >> I WILL TAKE YOUR WORD FOR IT.
21:09:23 >> THAT'S WHAT WE WILL BE DOING.
21:09:23 >> JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
21:09:25 ANY OTHER COMMENTS?
21:09:26 ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
21:09:27 ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?
21:09:32 IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM NUMBER 4?
21:09:37 ANYONE WANTING TO SPEAK TO ITEM NUMBER 4?
21:09:42 DO HAVE WE HAVE ANYBODY ON?
21:09:46 >>THE CLERK: YES.
21:09:48 >>JOSEPH CITRO: DO WE HAVE JEAN STROHMEYER ON?
21:09:51 >>THE CLERK: AND THOMAS LETO.
21:09:52 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MS. STROHMEYER, ARE YOU THERE?
21:10:01 AND MR. LETO, ARE YOU THERE?
21:10:04 CAN WE HAVE YOU SWORN IN?
21:10:06 CAN WE HAVE THEM ON OUR SCREENS?
21:10:09 THANK YOU.
21:10:20 MS. STROHMEYER, ARE YOU THERE?
21:10:22 >> I AM HERE.
21:10:23 CAN YOU HEAR ME?
21:10:25 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES, BUT I CANNOT SEE YOUR FACE.
21:10:27 >> I'M HERE.
21:10:34 OKAY.
21:10:34 (OATH ADMINISTERED BY CLERK)
21:10:44 >> ALL RIGHT, MS. STROHMEYER.
21:10:50 >> OKAY.
21:10:53 MY NAME IS JEAN STROHMEYER, AND I DIDN'T HEAR ALL OF THE
21:10:59 PRESENTATION, BUT MY -- MY CONCERN ABOUT THIS IS GTE,
21:11:10 FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, NOW WHAT THAT IS, IS ASKING TO VACATE
21:11:14 A PART OF THIS PROPERTY, THAT WE CERTAINLY -- WE -- TO LET
21:11:30 THE CITY CONTINUE TO RENT FROM GTE.
21:11:32 SO, YOU KNOW, JUST THE FACT THAT THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS ON THE
21:11:38 UP AND UP WITH WHAT THE CITY WANTS, THE CITY WANTS THIS, THE
21:11:42 CITY WANTS THAT, THE CITY GETS WHAT THE CITY WANTS, AND
21:11:45 INSTEAD ABOUT THINKING WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT, WE SEE IT FROM
21:11:48 TIME TO TIME IN NEIGHBORHOOD AFTER NEIGHBORHOOD.
21:11:52 AND I JUST FEEL -- THE GUY SAID SNAKE OIL, BUT I FEEL
21:11:59 THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE WOOD PILE, AND IN A WOOD PILE
21:12:02 THERE'S A LOT OF RATS, AND THEY ALSO MENTION IT'S GOING TO
21:12:05 BE THE SAME THING FOR MOBLEY PARK.
21:12:10 AND I JUST LOOKED UP MOBLEY PARK AND GUESS WHAT, THE RENT
21:12:13 STARTS AT $854 A MONTH.
21:12:16 SO THIS EASEMENT IS GOING TO BE THE -- THE TAKEAWAY FROM
21:12:24 AFFORDABLE HOUSING WHICH IS WHAT EVERYBODY IS CLAMORING TO
21:12:27 SAY WE NEED.
21:12:29 SO WITH THAT SAID, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING IN THE
21:12:34 WOOD PILE OR NOT BUT YOU MIGHT THINK ABOUT THAT WHEN YOU
21:12:37 VOTE TO HAVE THE CITY OF TAMPA RENT FROM THIS PROPERTY
21:12:41 INSTEAD OF HAVING A SPACE OF THEIR OWN THAT WE OWN PARTS OF
21:12:45 SO IF GTE IS GOING TO GIVE IT TO THE CITY.
21:12:51 NOTHING IS FOR FREE.
21:12:52 WHAT'S GOING ON?
21:12:53 THANK YOU.
21:12:53 HAVE A GREAT DAY.
21:12:55 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
21:12:56 MR. LETO.
21:13:00 MR. LETO, YOU ARE MUTED.
21:13:09 MR. LETO, PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF.
21:13:11 >> IS THAT IT?
21:13:14 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES, SIR.
21:13:14 THANK YOU.
21:13:14 >>JOSEPH CITRO: OKAY.
21:13:16 JUST FOR THE RECORD, I WANT TO SAY THAT THIS IS HENDERSON
21:13:18 AVENUE, AND NOT HENDERSON BOULEVARD.
21:13:23 WHICH WAS CORRECTED ONCE BY MR. FOWLER.
21:13:26 I AM THE PROPERTY OWNER NEXT TO IT AND I APPROVED THE
21:13:32 CLOSURE OF THE ALLEY ONLY TO BE ABLE TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE
21:13:35 REAR OF THE ALLEY, THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY.
21:13:40 OTHERWISE I HAVE NO WAY TO GET TO THE BACK, WHICH PART OF
21:13:44 THIS WAS AN AGREEMENT TO GIVE ME 20 FEET OF THE ALLEY, WHICH
21:13:50 HAS NOT BEEN STATED HERE YET, BUT THOSE WERE THE CONDITIONS
21:13:54 UNDER WHICH I AGREED TO THE CLOSURE OF THE ALLEY.
21:14:04 THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY.
21:14:05 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. LETO.
21:14:08 IS THERE ANYBODY IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS THAT WANTS TO BE SPEAK
21:14:15 TO ITEM NUMBER 4?
21:14:20 MR. HUDSON, ANY REBUTTAL?
21:14:23 >>TYLER HUDSON: TYLER HUDSON FOR THE RECORD.
21:14:27 RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE AN ALLEY USED VERY INFREQUENTLY AND A
21:14:31 STREET THAT COULD BE USED QUITE FREQUENTLY BUT DEAD-END.
21:14:35 WE AIM TO REVERSE THAT.
21:14:37 THE CITY WILL BE GAINING FAR MORE THAN IT IS LOSING.
21:14:40 I THINK IT'S FOR A PUBLIC PURPOSE.
21:14:44 HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
21:14:45 I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
21:14:46 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ANY QUESTIONS?
21:14:51 COUNCILMAN GUDES?
21:14:52 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THE GENTLEMAN MR. LETO MADE A COMMENT AND
21:14:58 I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THAT.
21:15:00 >>TYLER HUDSON: IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THE RIGHT-OF-WAY
21:15:03 VACATING ORDINANCE REFLECTS EXACTLY WHAT HE'S ASKING FOR.
21:15:06 MR. LETO WAS ONE OF THE SUPPORTERS OF THE PROJECT -- HE'S
21:15:15 THE APPLICANT ON THE APPLICATION.
21:15:16 >>JOSEPH CITRO: DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO
21:15:23 ADD?
21:15:24 >>RON WIGGINTON: NOT REALLY.
21:15:26 I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY ARRANGEMENT THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER
21:15:29 HAS WITH THE DEVELOPERS.
21:15:31 THIS IS THE FIRST I HAVE HEARD OF IT.
21:15:33 I WILL SAY THAT ACCORDING TO THE CASE LAW, JUST BECAUSE YOU
21:15:38 MAY REMOVE THE MOST CONVENIENT ACCESS DOESN'T MEAN IT
21:15:41 RESULTS IN A TAKING, BUT IT HAS TO BE SUBSTANTIAL, OR
21:15:45 OUTRIGHT ELIMINATION OF ACCESS.
21:15:47 AND IF HE HAS ACCESS TO THE FRONT, HE MAY NOT HAVE ACCESS TO
21:15:51 THE REAR, IT DOESN'T VIOLATE ANY CASE LAW OR STATUTE OR
21:15:56 ORDINANCE.
21:15:56 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
21:15:59 >> MY NAME IS RYAN COLMER, LEGACY PARTNERS. WE DO HAVE AN
21:16:06 ADJACENT WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER, MR. LETO, THAT WOULD DEED
21:16:09 BACK A PORTION OF THE ALLEY.
21:16:14 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.

21:17:49 >>JOSEPH CITRO: AGENDA NUMBER 5, FILE REZ-22-05.
21:18:05 >>ANNIE BARNES: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
21:18:06 ITEM NUMBER 5 IS REZ 22-05.
21:18:09 SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 623 EAST 7TH AVENUE.
21:18:14 THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM RM-24 AND PD TO
21:18:18 PD.
21:18:20 I WILL TURN OVER THE PRESENTATION TO JENNIFER MALONE WITH
21:18:23 PLANNING COMMISSION AND AFTER HER PRESENTATION I WILL
21:18:25 CONCLUDE MINE.
21:18:26 >>JENNIFER MALONE: PLANNING COMMISSION.
21:18:32 MAY I HAVE PERMISSION TO SHARE MY SCREEN?
21:18:35 I WILL SHOW YOU THE PowerPoint.
21:18:38 YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THAT NOW.
21:18:40 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES, MA'AM.
21:18:41 >>JENNIFER MALONE: REZ 22-05, WITHIN THE TAMPA PLANNING
21:18:47 DISTRICT WITHIN THE CENTRAL PARK URBAN VILLAGE, IT'S NOT
21:18:51 LOCATED IN EVACUATION ZONE, AND THERE IS TRANSIT WITHIN
21:18:52 PROXIMITY OF THE INTERSECTION OF EAST HENDERSON AVENUE AND
21:18:58 NORTH NEBRASKA AVENUE.
21:18:59 I DO NEED TO MAKE A CORRECTION FOR THE RECORD.
21:19:02 THE PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT INCORRECTLY HAD THE ADDRESS
21:19:06 711 EAST HENDERSON AVENUE.
21:19:09 THAT REPORT IS WRONG, AND I WOULD LIKE TO CORRECT THAT FOR
21:19:11 THE RECORD.
21:19:14 THAT ADDRESS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS APPLICATION.
21:19:18 HERE AT THE EAST HENDERSON AVENUE, THE INTERSTATE TO THE
21:19:21 WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE, THE BANK BUILDING TO THE SOUTH, IN
21:19:29 THIS AREA WHICH IS NORTH OF DOWNTOWN, AND FUTURE LAND USE
21:19:33 MAP, URBAN MIXED USE 60, NOT AS INTENSE AS RMU 100, IT'S
21:19:38 LIKE ONE STEP DOWN, SO IT IS FAIRLY INTENSIVE.
21:19:42 TO THE EAST IT'S COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 ALONG NEBRASKA
21:19:45 AVENUE.
21:19:47 WE HAVE RM 3, AND TAMPA HEIGHTS WEST OF THE INTERSTATE, AND
21:19:52 FURTHER SOUTH PERRY HARVEY PARK.
21:19:54 SO THE APPLICANT, WHICH IS ENCOURAGED IN THE FUTURE LAND USE
21:19:59 CATEGORY, AND F.A.R. IS 2.48 WHICH IS JUST BELOW THE 2.5,
21:20:06 AND THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT IS ADDRESSING MANY OF THE MIXED
21:20:08 USE CENTERS AND CORRIDORS POLICIES IN THE MIXED USE
21:20:12 STRUCTURE, PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY WITH FOUR ENTRANCES
21:20:16 CONNECTING TO PUBLIC SIDEWALK ON 7TH, WE ALSO FOUND THAT THE
21:20:19 BUILDING ENTRANCES PROVIDED ALONG EAST 7th IS SUPPORTED
21:20:22 BY THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
21:20:23 AND I WILL POINT OUT WE HAVE POLICIES THAT ARE HELPING TO
21:20:27 MEET TAMPA'S GROWING POPULATION, AND WE FOUND IT CONSISTENT
21:20:30 WITH THOSE AS WELL AS THE COMPACT STRATEGY, POLICIES WHICH
21:20:34 PROMOTES HOUSING WITHIN PROXIMITY TO EMPLOYMENT AND TRANSIT,
21:20:38 AND URBAN VILLAGES.
21:20:40 THIS IS IN THE CENTRAL PARK URBAN VILLAGE.
21:20:43 SO IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT PATTERN,
21:20:46 AND ANTICIPATED UNDER THE URBAN MIXED USE 60.
21:20:49 THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
21:20:51 I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER TO ANNIE.
21:20:52 >>ANNIE BARNES: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
21:20:58 MAY I SHARE MY SCREEN?
21:21:09 AGAIN, THIS IS DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION, REQUEST TO REZONE
21:21:14 623 EAST 7TH AVENUE FROM RM-24 AND PD TO PD.
21:21:21 SHOWN HERE ARE THE WAIVERS REQUESTED BY THE APPLICANT.
21:21:28 HERE IS A SURVEY OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
21:21:32 AS WELL AS AN AERIAL MAP OUTLINING THE SUBJECT SITE.
21:21:36 THERE ARE COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL USES IN THE IMMEDIATE
21:21:40 AREA.
21:21:44 SHOWN HERE IS A COMPLETE -- OR PART OF THE COMPLETE SITE
21:21:47 PLAN PACKAGE SHOWING THE OVERALL LAYOUT OF THE SITE.
21:21:52 THE PROPOSED REZONING IS FOR 236 RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNITS
21:21:57 WITH 4600 SQUARE FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL OFFICE COMMERCIAL
21:22:02 USES.
21:22:06 SHOWN HERE ARE THE ELEVATIONS PROVIDED FROM THE APPLICANT.
21:22:11 SO THIS IS A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY AS YOU SAW EARLIER IN
21:22:14 MR. SAMMONS' PRESENTATION WHERE IT DEAD-ENDS CURRENTLY.
21:22:19 AND THIS IS THE INTERSECTION OF HENDERSON AND TALIAFERRO.
21:22:24 AS WELL AS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY DIRECTLY SOUTH AND EAST OF
21:22:27 THE SUBJECT SITE.
21:22:30 AND THIS IS EARLIER SHOWN IN THE PROPOSED VACATING.
21:22:37 AS WELL AS PROPERTY NORTH ALONG 7th AVENUE.
21:22:42 AND AGAIN THE PROPERTY SHOWN FROM 7th AVENUE.
21:22:51 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW -- STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE PETITION AND
21:22:54 FINDS THE REQUEST INCONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA LAND
21:22:56 DEVELOPMENT -- LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.
21:23:01 PLEASE REFER TO DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION, TRANSPORTATION,
21:23:04 AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMENTS FOR OVERALL INCONSISTENCY
21:23:07 FINDING.
21:23:08 SHOULD COUNCIL GRANT THE REQUESTED WAIVERS BASED ON THE
21:23:11 WAIVER JUSTIFICATION PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT, FURTHER
21:23:14 MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN MUST BE COMPLETED IN BETWEEN
21:23:16 FIRST AND SECOND READING OF THE ORDINANCE AS STATED ON THE
21:23:20 REVISION SHEET.
21:23:21 ADDITIONALLY, THAT NOTE SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE SITE PLAN
21:23:26 APPROVING THAT ALL DEVELOPMENT SHALL BE CONSISTENT WITH
21:23:29 CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH VAC 22-04, AND THE RELEASE OF
21:23:35 EASEMENT FOR THE VACATED PORTION OF HENDERSON MUST BE
21:23:38 COMPLETED PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF THE FIRST BUILDING PERMIT.
21:23:42 ADDITIONALLY, THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
21:23:45 ADDITIONALLY, ERIN MAEHR WITH NATURAL RESOURCES TO LIKE TO
21:23:52 GO ON THE RECORD STATING SOMETHING.
21:23:53 >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
21:23:58 PERMISSION TO SHARE MY SCREEN?
21:24:07 AND CAN YOU SEE THE SITE PLAN?
21:24:09 >>JOSEPH CITRO: NOT YET.
21:24:13 YES, NOW.
21:24:14 >> ERIN MAEHR: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION REPRESENTING
21:24:22 NATURAL RESOURCES AND IF IT IS THE PLEASURE OF CITY COUNCIL
21:24:24 TO APPROVE 22-05 I MUST STATE ON THE RECORD ACCORDING TO
21:24:29 27-284.2.4 THAT TWO OFF-SITE TREES DO NOT MEET CONDITION
21:24:35 CRITERIA.
21:24:36 THEY ARE RIGHT HERE, TREE 36 AND TREE 35.
21:24:40 TREE NUMBERS.
21:24:42 AND EVEN WITH A NEIGHBOR AFFIDAVIT, THESE TREES WILL BE
21:24:46 SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED BY THE PROPOSED SIX-PLUS-STORY
21:24:50 BUILDING FIVE FEET FROM THE HOUSE OF THESE TREES.
21:24:53 THESE TREES ARE PROTECTED AND SPECIMEN TREES AND NOT ONLY
21:24:56 WILL THE ROOT IMPACTS OCCUR BUT ALSO CANOPY IMPACTS DUE TO
21:25:01 CLEARANCE, PRUNING FOR THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE.
21:25:03 BUFFER TO THE SOUTH IN THIS LOCATION ACCORDING TO
21:25:07 27-284.3.3-A IS REQUIRED TO BE 15 FEET.
21:25:13 HOWEVER, A WAIVER IS BEING REQUESTED TO REDUCE THIS BUFFER
21:25:17 TO 5 FEET.
21:25:18 AND WITH THAT 15-FOOT BUFFER, THESE TREES WOULD NOT BE
21:25:23 IMPACTED AS OFF-SITE TREES ARE NOT TO BE IMPACTED BY
21:25:27 CONSTRUCTION.
21:25:28 AND THAT'S IT.
21:25:29 IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME, I AM HERE.
21:25:32 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ANY QUESTIONS?
21:25:36 ANY QUESTIONS FOR ANY STAFF?
21:25:38 THANK YOU.
21:25:39 >>TYLER HUDSON: 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE FOR THE RECORD.
21:25:54 DO YOU SEE MY SCREEN?
21:25:56 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES, SIR.
21:25:57 >>TYLER HUDSON: AS PROMISED, I WILL SKIP THROUGH.
21:26:01 I WILL REORIENT WHERE WE ARE, HENDERSON AND 7th JUST
21:26:05 WEST OF TALIAFERRO, EAST OF THE INTERSTATE, TO WALK THROUGH
21:26:10 THE CONFIGURATION AND HOW THIS ACTUALLY WORKS.
21:26:12 THIS IS A MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT WITH SOME PROPOSED
21:26:16 STOREFRONT RETAIL USES ALONG 7th AVENUE.
21:26:19 BECAUSE THIS IS RIGHT ALONG THE -- THE BORDERS OF THE
21:26:25 INTERSTATE AND THE ALLEY DIVIDING IT, IT'S A LITTLE
21:26:29 INITIALLY SHAPED PARCEL.
21:26:30 IT'S HARD TO FIND PERFECT SQUARES IN URBAN CORE THESE DAYS.
21:26:35 FIVE TO SIX STORIES ON SCREEN.
21:26:37 IT MIGHT SEEM A LITTLE CONFUSING.
21:26:39 GENERALLY THE PROPORTION ARE FIVE STORIES INTERNAL DO IT
21:26:43 PROJECT IS A GARAGE THAT DOES POP UP TO SIX STORIES ON THE
21:26:46 TOP OF WHICH THERE'S A ROOFTOP AMENITY WHERE THE POOL WOULD
21:26:49 GO.
21:26:51 ENTERING RIGHT OFF HERE OFF OF 7th AVENUE.
21:26:54 HENDERSON, WHICH COUNCIL IS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO APPROVE, THE
21:26:57 ALLEY VACATING WHICH REQUIRES US TO OPEN HENDERSON BACK UP,
21:27:02 ACTUALLY ACCESS THE SITE, THAT WOULD BE THROUGH FARE, ABOUT
21:27:08 4,000 SQUARE FEET WOULD GO RIGHT HERE, AND STOREFRONT
21:27:12 RESIDENTIAL IS WHAT IT'S CALLED IN THE CODE, BUT IT'S REALLY
21:27:16 STOREFRONT USE THAT ALLOWS ALL GROUPS WHICH ARE GENERALLY
21:27:20 COMMERCIAL, STOREFRONT RESIDENTIAL TO SORT OF LOOK LIKE THE
21:27:25 GROUND FLOOR RETAIL YOU SEE WITH RETAIL, RESIDENTIAL ON TOP,
21:27:30 AND FIRST FLOOR ACTIVATION, IT WOULD BE PRIVATE WITH A
21:27:33 LEASING OFFICE, AMENITIES.
21:27:38 WE COVERED THAT IN DETAIL.
21:27:40 THE PLAN AS JENNIFER ALLUDED TO, THIS IS THE SECOND HIGHEST
21:27:43 NONCE CATEGORY FROM A DENSITY PERSPECTIVE, AND BUILDINGS
21:27:49 SITUATED SITED AT OR NEAR THE SIDEWALK.
21:27:53 WE DO HAVE MINIMAL SETBACKS.
21:27:55 WE ACCOMMODATE THAT NEW HENDERSON EXTENSION, IT'S GOING TO
21:27:58 BE RELATIVELY TIGHT.
21:27:59 IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE IT WOULD IN THE CITY.
21:28:01 THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A HUGE AMOUNT OF SPACE BETWEEN THE
21:28:03 SIDEWALK AND THE FACE OF THE BUILDING BUT IN AN URBAN
21:28:07 ENVIRONMENT LIKE THIS, WE BELIEVE THAT IS HIGHLY
21:28:09 APPROPRIATE.
21:28:09 IT'S ACTUALLY WHAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANTICIPATES ON A
21:28:12 PIECE OF LAND LIKE THIS.
21:28:16 PLANNING COMMISSION AS JENNIFER ALLUDED TO FOUND THIS
21:28:19 CONSISTENT.
21:28:19 I THINK THEIR EXPERT STAFF REPORT WAS COMPLETE WITH VARIOUS
21:28:23 POLICIES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE COMPACT DENSE
21:28:27 DEVELOPMENT LIKE THIS PROPOSES.
21:28:30 SEVERAL REVIEWING AGENCIES DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT.
21:28:33 OF COURSE, SOME DID NOT, AND THE AGENCY THAT DID NOT FIND
21:28:37 THIS CONSISTENT, WE ARE PROPOSING WAIVERS FROM THE TECHNICAL
21:28:40 COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
21:28:43 IN THE RECORD THERE ARE PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL WAIVERS, AND I
21:28:48 WILL SUMMARIZE THEM BRIEFLY RIGHT NOW.
21:28:51 I BELIEVE THIS IS IN THE REVISION SHEET OF THE ONE WAIVER,
21:28:55 AND ANNIE CAN CORRECT ME HERE, SET OUT IN THE STAFF REPORT
21:29:00 WAS COMMERCIAL ACCESS TO A LOCAL STREET WHICH COUNCIL HEARS
21:29:03 AN AWFUL LOT.
21:29:03 THAT'S ACTUALLY NOT GOING TO BE A WAIVER IN THIS CASE
21:29:06 BECAUSE SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF WE ARE FORTUNATE
21:29:11 ENOUGH TO HAVE COUNCIL'S APPROVAL OF THIS THAT WAIVER IS NOT
21:29:14 SOMETHING WE NEED AND WE'LL REMOVE THAT BETWEEN FIRST AND
21:29:17 SECOND READING.
21:29:18 ON BUFFERING, AS COUNCIL KNOWS, PDS AFFORD THE DEVELOPER AN
21:29:22 OPPORTUNITY TO ESTABLISH SETBACKS, WAIVERS FROM SETBACKS.
21:29:25 BUT THE CODE DOES REQUIRE BUFFERING SPACES BETWEEN DIFFERENT
21:29:29 TYPES OF RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL, AND IN THIS CASE THE
21:29:34 CODE REQUIRES A 15-FAT EAST TO EAST BUFFER, AND A 6-FOOT
21:29:38 MASONRY WALL WHICH WE THINK IS A LITTLE PUNITIVE AND NOT
21:29:42 CONSISTENT WITH THE URBAN NATURE OF THIS PROJECT SO WE ARE
21:29:45 PROPOSING TO REDUCE THAT TO 5.
21:29:47 AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT CREATES WHAT WE CALL SYMMETRY, BUT THE
21:29:53 NEXT FOUR EVEN AMOUNT OF SETBACK AROUND THE EASTERN EDGE OF
21:29:58 THE BUILDING.
21:29:58 I WOULD NOTE THAT THE FOLKS WHO ARE MOST AFFECTED BY THIS
21:30:01 BUFFER, AND YOU WILL HAVE A MULTIFAMILY BUILDING A LITTLE
21:30:08 CLOSER THAN THE CODE WERE REQUIRE, ARE BOTH SUPPORTIVE OF
21:30:10 THAT.
21:30:10 THE E-MAILS ARE IN THE RECORD BEFORE YOU.
21:30:14 ON LOADING, NOT SURE I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF BRINGING
21:30:18 THAT BEFORE THIS COUNCIL OR ANY OF ITS ITERATION BUT DOES
21:30:22 NOT HAVE A LOADING WAIVER.
21:30:24 THE CODES IN THE CITY OF TAMPA REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT
21:30:26 OF LOADING BERTHS, AND THEY ARE SOMETIMES INAPPROPRIATE.
21:30:30 LEGACY PARTNERS, A NAME THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT IN A LITTLE
21:30:34 BIT, IS A VERY PROLIFIC MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPER, ARE VERY
21:30:38 CONFIDENT THAT THIS SINGLE LOADING BERTH WILL BE ABLE TO
21:30:41 ACCOMMODATE MOVE IN AND MOVE OUT.
21:30:43 THIS IS NOT AN AMAZON FULFILLMENT CENTER.
21:30:47 IT'S MOSTLY GOING TO HAVE LARGE TRUCKS COMING IN AND OUT,
21:30:48 URBAN APARTMENTS AND FOLKS MOVING IN AND OUT WITH U-HAUL.
21:30:51 WHILE THIS DOES NOT COUNT AS A LOADING AREA AT ALL, THIS
21:30:55 AREA IN GREEN, THERE ARE PARALLEL PARKING SPACES THAT WOULD
21:30:59 GIVE ABILITY FOR MANAGEMENT TO PUT OUT A CONE ON THE RARE
21:31:02 OCCASION THAT PERHAPS THERE'S TWO LOADING TRUCKS TRYING TO
21:31:06 COME IN AT THE SAME TIME, BUT THE LOADING BERTHS ARE A VERY
21:31:10 IMPORTANT SPACE AND WE ARE VERY CONFIDENT THAT THE ONE WILL
21:31:13 SATISFY.
21:31:14 I WOULD NOTE IN THE WESTSHORE OVERLAY DISTRICT, THAT ENTIRE
21:31:17 AREA HAS A LIMIT OF ONE LOADING BERTH WITH A LOT BIGGER
21:31:21 BUILDINGS OUT THERE AND THEY ARE SURVIVING WITH ONE.
21:31:23 WE BELIEVE ONE IS GOING TO BE JUSTIFIED HERE.
21:31:26 THE OTHER WAIVER IS ONE THAT AGAIN, I DON'T THINK I HAVE
21:31:29 EVER NOT BROUGHT AN URBAN PROJECT, WHICH IS TO ALLOW LOADING
21:31:32 TO OCCUR IN MORE THAN ONE CONTINUOUS MANEUVER, AN EXAMPLE OF
21:31:36 THE COMMERCIAL DRIVER'S LICENSE SCHOOL, YOU CAN LOAD IN ONE
21:31:41 CONTINUOUS LOAD, YOU HAVE AN ABSOLUTE OCEAN OF PARKING.
21:31:45 THIS IS AN URBAN DEVELOPMENT.
21:31:48 THERE'S NO WAY TO LOAD THE SITE IN ONE -- WE DON'T BELIEVE
21:31:53 THAT POSES A PROBLEM AT ALL TO THE SAFETY OF THE RESIDENTS
21:31:55 OR TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROJECT.
21:31:58 ON TREES, I AM GOING TO TALK BRIEFLY, KIMLEY-HORN A
21:32:04 CERTIFIED ARBORIST IS ON THE LINE.
21:32:05 THE RED DOT HERE IS THE ONE NONHAZARDOUS GRAND OAK.
21:32:11 WE DID TRY TO RECONFIGURE, IT DIDN'T WORK.
21:32:16 IT WOULD ESSENTIALLY RENDER THE PARKING AREA AS A SURFACE
21:32:19 PARKING LOT WHICH WOULD BE AN ABYSMAL USE OF SPACE IN THE
21:32:22 URBAN CORE LIKE THIS, WOULD SEVERELY CUT IT TO THE POINT
21:32:26 THAT I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE
21:32:28 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
21:32:29 BUT THEY CAN TALK MORE ABOUT THAT.
21:32:32 WE ARE ABLE TO SAVE A SIGNIFICANT CLUSTER OF TREES ALONG THE
21:32:35 WESTERN EDGE.
21:32:37 THE OTHER WAIVER IS, THE CODE REQUIRES YOU TO KEEP 50% OF
21:32:41 THE TREES ON-SITE.
21:32:43 IF YOU ARE DOWNTOWN IN THE CBD, AS YOU EXPECT, THERE ISN'T
21:32:47 SUCH A REQUIREMENT.
21:32:48 THIS IS AWFULLY CLOSE TO THE CBD, AND IT'S MUCH CLOSER THAN
21:32:52 HALFWAY TO THE CBD AND ALMOST HALFWAY, BUT WE ARE KEEPING
21:32:56 21%, WHICH I WOULD SAY IS A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN NORMAL FOR
21:33:00 A SITE THAT HAS BEEN UNDEVELOPED FOR SO LONG, AND THIS CLOSE
21:33:05 TO THE URBAN CORE.
21:33:06 YOU CAN SEE HERE THE LOCATION OF SOME OF THE TREES.
21:33:10 THESE AREN'T GRAND TREES.
21:33:13 THE LOCATION OF THEM YOU CAN SEE REALLY WOULD JUST PREVENT
21:33:16 ANY REASONABLE DEVELOPMENT CONFIGURATION BASED ON WHERE THEY
21:33:18 WERE, BUT WE DID TRY REASONABLE CONFIGURATIONS TO TRY TO
21:33:24 ACCOMMODATE RETENTION AND TRY TO ACCOMMODATE THE ONE GRAND
21:33:27 TREE.
21:33:27 WITH THAT, NAEEM.
21:33:32 >> NAEEM COLEMAN, LEGACY PARTNERS.
21:33:41 LEGACY PARTNERS, OUR FIRM HAS BEEN AROUND FOR 54 YEARS.
21:33:44 WE ARE BASED IN CALIFORNIA, JUST OUTSIDE OF SAN FRANCISCO.
21:33:49 HIGHLIGHTED ON THE SCREENS ARE ALL THE MARKS.
21:33:58 THE LEGACY ENCORE PROJECT A FEW BLOCKS AWAY, VERY SUCCESSFUL
21:34:02 PROJECT, ONE OF OUR FIRST ONES IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
21:34:05 WE LOVED IT SO MUCH WE WANTED TO COME BACK AND DO ANOTHER
21:34:07 ONE.
21:34:08 WE FEEL THAT THE ENCORE DEVELOPMENT HAS REALLY ENERGIZED AND
21:34:12 BROUGHT THE NEIGHBORHOOD FORWARD, AND WE ARE LOOKING FOR
21:34:15 PROPERTY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO BE ABLE TO COME TO TOGETHER
21:34:19 AND WE DID HAVE A SUCCESSFUL PROJECT.
21:34:23 >>TYLER HUDSON: AND IN TERMS OF THE DESIGN, OVERVIEW RIGHT
21:34:36 THERE, PEOPLE ENJOYING THE POOL.
21:34:40 I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
21:34:41 HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
21:34:43 THANK YOU.
21:34:43 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. HUDSON?
21:34:48 SEEING NONE, IS THERE ANYONE IN THE ROOM THAT WOULD LIKE TO
21:34:52 MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM NUMBER 5?
21:34:54 >> MY NAME IS CARROLL ANN BENNETT, A LIFE-LONG RESIDENT OF
21:35:05 TAMPA.
21:35:07 THIS CLIMATE CRISIS IS REAL.
21:35:10 ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE CAN DO IS TO
21:35:13 PRESERVE OUR TREE CANOPY.
21:35:15 THE REQUIRED TO PRESERVE 50%.
21:35:19 THEY WANT TO PRESERVE 21%. TO ME, WHAT'S JUST AS BAD OR
21:35:22 WORSE IS THAT THERE ARE TREES THAT ARE OFF-SITE THAT DO NOT
21:35:25 BELONG TO THEM, THAT THEY ARE GOING TO ADVERSELY IMPACT.
21:35:28 YOU HEARD THE EXPERTS SAY THAT IT'S GOING TO BE TWO-THIRDS
21:35:33 CLOSER TO THE TREES THAN IT SHOULD BE, AND THOSE TREES ARE
21:35:37 PROBABLY GOING TO DIE.
21:35:38 IT'S BAD ENOUGH WHEN THEY KILL TREES ON-SITE.
21:35:41 BUT NOW THEY ARE GOING TO KILL TREES OFF-SITE.
21:35:45 I HAVE SEEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN MIRACLES HAPPEN.
21:35:50 ALL OF A SUDDEN WE CAN FIGURE OUT A WAY TO RECONFIGURE
21:35:53 THINGS AND WE CAN SAVE THE TREES.
21:35:55 I BELIEVE THAT CAN HAPPEN IN THIS CASE.
21:35:57 I THINK THEY CAN DO BETTER.
21:35:58 I THINK THE CITY OF TAMPA NEEDS TO INSIST ON A LITTLE ITS
21:36:02 BETTER.
21:36:03 THANK YOU.
21:36:03 >> NATHAN HAGAN.
21:36:12 I THINK IT'S A COOL PROJECT.
21:36:14 I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT IT DIDN'T FIND SUFFICIENT INCENTIVE
21:36:18 FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR PEOPLE.
21:36:21 THE CODE DOESN'T CREATE THAT INCENTIVE.
21:36:24 BUT THE CODE DOES CREATE INCENTIVE FOR AFFORDABLE PARKING OF
21:36:30 CARS.
21:36:30 I KNOW CITY COUNCIL SHOULD NOT BE NEGOTIATING WITH
21:36:33 DEVELOPERS ON THINGS FROM THE DAIS HERE.
21:36:38 MY UNDERSTANDING THAT'S NOT REALLY THE POINT OF THIS
21:36:40 MEETING.
21:36:40 BUT I WILL SAY CITY COUNCIL HAS THE POWER TO MAKE ORDINANCES
21:36:45 THAT WILL MAKE PROJECTS LIKE THIS COME TO YOU WITH THESE
21:36:48 TYPES OF THINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, SO THIS IS
21:36:52 A GOOD PROJECT, ENVIRONMENT, HOUSING FOR PEOPLE.
21:36:58 I WOULD LOVE FOR THIS COUNCIL TO HAVE ORDINANCES IN PLACE
21:37:01 ALREADY THAT MAKE IT SO THAT THEY HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
21:37:04 AND FOR PEOPLE INSTEAD OF FOR CARS.
21:37:07 THAT'S MY COMMENT.
21:37:08 >> GOOD EVENING.
21:37:15 I'M NOT USED TO COMING HERE AT NIGHT ANY MORE.
21:37:18 MY NAME IS STEPHANIE POYNOR AND I AM JUST CURIOUS IF THERE'S
21:37:22 ANY AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THIS DEVELOPMENT.
21:37:24 400 UNITS IN THE LOCATION THAT IT'S IN, THERE SHOULD BE
21:37:27 WORKFORCE, THERE SHOULD BE AFFORDABLE.
21:37:29 IT'S ON A TRANSIT LINE, JUST A COUPLE BLOCKS AWAY FROM
21:37:33 THERE.
21:37:33 I WOULDN'T HAVE ANY CLUE WHAT WHERE THIS WAS IF I HADN'T
21:37:37 BEEN TO THE MAYOR'S NEIGHBORHOOD UNIVERSITY AND VISITED THE
21:37:39 GTE BUILDING.
21:37:41 SO I AM JUST CURIOUS AS TO WHY WE HAVE GOT ALL THESE WAIVERS
21:37:44 THAT WE HAVE, NO AFFORDABLE OR WORKFORCE.
21:37:48 THANK YOU.
21:37:48 HAVE A GOOD DAY.
21:37:49 >>JOSEPH CITRO: DO WE STILL HAVE MS. STROHMEYER AND MR.
21:37:54 LETO ON THE LINE?
21:38:05 MS. STROHMEYER, WE ARE WAITING FOR YOUR CAMERA TO COME UP.
21:38:11 >> OH, OH, MY GOSH, I GOT TO UPDATE THE CAMERA.
21:38:21 ARE YOU THERE?
21:38:22 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES, MS. STROHMEYER, PLEASE.
21:38:24 >> HI.
21:38:25 WELL, AS STEPHANIE WAS SAYING AND WHAT I SAID BEFORE, YOU
21:38:35 SEE THAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT IS THERE, AND I DON'T KNOW
21:38:38 IF IT'S THE GATEWAY TO SHUT THAT DOWN, BUT I BELIEVE IT IS.
21:38:42 I DO LIKE OPENING UP THAT STREET.
21:38:46 THE CITY IS THE ONE THAT CLOSED THAT STREET DOWN.
21:38:49 I REMEMBER AT SOME POINT WE USED TO DRIVE THROUGH THERE,
21:38:52 UNLESS I AM WRONG, BUT I AM PRETTY SURE I AM NOT.
21:38:55 THEN THEY CLOSED IT DOWN FOR -- IT WAS BIZARRE TO ME WHY
21:39:01 THEY CLOSED THAT DOWN. ANYWAY, YEAH, GET AFFORDABLE HOUSING
21:39:06 THERE.
21:39:06 JUST ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS.
21:39:07 IF THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE BACKGROUND GOING ON WITH
21:39:11 ADMINISTRATION, I ALWAYS THINK THERE IS, AND I THINK I AM
21:39:14 NOT THE ONLY ONE, SO IT'S YOU ALL'S DUTY TO BE ASK THOSE
21:39:19 QUESTIONS AND TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS ON THE UP AND
21:39:22 UP.
21:39:24 THANK YOU.
21:39:25 TALK TO YOU IN A BIT.
21:39:27 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
21:39:28 MR. LETO.
21:39:28 >> YES, SIR.
21:39:30 I HAVE NO FURTHER COMMENTS.
21:39:31 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
21:39:36 MOTION TO CLOSE?
21:39:37 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SO MOVED.
21:39:38 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I'M SORRY, MR. HUDSON, REBUTTAL.
21:39:41 >>TYLER HUDSON: TYLER HUDSON FOR THE RECORD.
21:39:47 CENSUS BUREAU SAYS THAT 40,000 PEOPLE MOVED TO THE CITY LAST
21:39:53 YEAR.
21:39:53 THAT'S OVER 100 A DAY.
21:39:56 AND THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS TO THE
21:39:59 AFFORDABILITY PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE IN THE CITY.
21:40:03 BUT THE CHIEF ONE AMONG THEM IS TO BUILD MORE HOUSING.
21:40:06 AND WE HAVE HEARD FROM SOME OF THE FOLKS IN PUBLIC COMMENTS
21:40:09 THAT THERE'S AN AVERSION TO DENSITY IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE
21:40:12 CITY.
21:40:13 CERTAIN PARTS OF THE CITY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT HAVING DENSITY
21:40:16 IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
21:40:17 THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE AREAS.
21:40:20 THIS IS AN AREA I DON'T BELIEVE ANY OF THE FOLKS YOU HEARD
21:40:23 FROM IN PUBLIC COMMENT LIVE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
21:40:26 THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE GREATEST SHARE OF GROWTH TO
21:40:31 AREAS EXACTLY LIKE THIS.
21:40:33 AND HAVING SUPPLIES TO THE HOUSING PIPELINE OF THE CITY,
21:40:38 THIS WILL BE OF CRITICAL IMPORTANCE.
21:40:40 AND I WOULD ASK HIM TO SHARE ABOUT THIS AS WELL.
21:40:45 >> THANK YOU.
21:40:49 NAEEM COLEMAN, LEGACY PARTNERS.
21:40:52 THIS IS NOT A POORLY DESIGNED PROJECT.
21:40:55 WE DO OFFER AN ARRAY OF HOUSING GOING FROM STUDIOS TO LARGE
21:41:00 BEDROOMS THAT WILL IMPACT AND DESIGNATED FOR DIFFERENT
21:41:04 INCOME.
21:41:04 IT'S NOT AFFORDABLE IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE BUT IT DOES
21:41:07 ALLOW PEOPLE AT DIFFERENT INCOMES TO CHOOSE THEIR OWN UNIT.
21:41:11 BACK TO THE COMMENT ABOUT 20,000 PEOPLE MOVING HERE A YEAR,
21:41:17 IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE NEXT YEAR, THE YEAR AFTER THAT, THE
21:41:19 YEAR AFTER THAT.
21:41:20 BASED UPON WHAT WE HAVE SEEN WE ARE NOT BUILDING ENOUGH
21:41:22 HOUSING TO MEET THE DEMAND OF PEOPLE.
21:41:26 SO THAT'S PART OF THE REASON I AM HERE TONIGHT, TO SEE A LOT
21:41:30 OF GROWTH HAPPENING IN TAMPA, WE SEE AN UNDERSUPPLY OF
21:41:33 HOUSING WHETHER IT'S SINGLE-FAMILY, TOWNHOMES, FLATS,
21:41:36 MULTIFAMILY, HIGH-RISE, ALL OF THE ABOVE.
21:41:38 SO WE ARE TRYING TO DO OUR PART TO BUILD SOME HOUSING.
21:41:41 WE THINK IT'S A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
21:41:43 AND AS MENTIONED TODAY WE ARE BUILDING DOWN THE STREET RIGHT
21:41:46 NOW, BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL,
21:41:54 THANK YOU.
21:41:55 >>TYLER HUDSON: AND LIKE TO LEAVE ONE FOLLOW-UP, COUNCIL.
21:41:59 WE TALK ABOUT AFFORDABILITY.
21:42:00 THAT'S HOUSING, HOW MUCH YOU PAY FOR RENT, BUT ALSO
21:42:03 TRANSPORTATION, HOW MUCH ARE YOU PAYING TO KEEP A CAR.
21:42:06 THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY FEW PIECES OF LAND IN THE CITY OF
21:42:08 TAMPA WHERE YBOR, TAMPA HEIGHTS, DOWNTOWN, CHANNEL DISTRICT,
21:42:15 WALKABLE, BIKEABLE.
21:42:16 THIS HAS ACCESS TO STREETCAR AND HART ROUTE JUST A FEW
21:42:20 BLOCKS AWAY, THE HIGHEST FREQUENCY ROUTES THAT HART HAS.
21:42:27 IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT THING I THINK TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN WE
21:42:29 TALK ABOUT BROADENING THE RANGE OF PEOPLE.
21:42:36 THANK YOU.
21:42:36 >>JOSEPH CITRO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
21:42:39 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIRMAN.
21:42:41 I AM NOT HERE TO SPEAK AGAINST THE PLAN, BUT WHAT I WOULD
21:42:45 LIKE TO SEE IS MORE COMPATIBILITY WITH NATURE, AND MORE
21:42:50 COMPATIBILITY WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO
21:42:54 LIVE.
21:42:57 THEY DON'T HAVE ONE.
21:42:58 I THINK THIS MORNING WE HAD CONVERSATION WITH MANY -- AND I
21:43:03 AM NOT TALKING ABOUT YOUR CASE.
21:43:05 LET ME GET THAT -- WHO RENT WENT UP 4 OR 500, 400 DOLLARS AT
21:43:12 LEAST, ON A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEY CAN'T AFFORD IT.
21:43:16 AND IN THE PAST, THIS COUNCIL ON SOME PROJECTS, NOT ALL OF
21:43:20 THEM, WE HAVE ASKED THE DEVELOPER TO PUT SOME TYPE --
21:43:25 SOMETIMES IT'S 5%.
21:43:26 I THINK THERE WAS ONE WITH 10% NOT TOO LONG AGO IF I RECALL.
21:43:30 AND THIS ONE HAS NONE.
21:43:34 AND ALTHOUGH WE ARE LIVING IN AN AREA OF PROSPERITY, WE ARE
21:43:39 ALSO LIVING IN AN AREA WHERE PROSPERITY HAS TAKEN OVER THE
21:43:41 PEOPLE WHO CAN'T AFFORD WHERE THEY LIVE.
21:43:44 AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S RIGHT.
21:43:47 ALL OF US HAVE TO LIVE TOGETHER TO MAKE NOT ONLY THIS CITY
21:43:51 BUT THIS COUNTRY WHAT IT IS, TO WHAT IT WAS.
21:43:55 IT'S CHANGING REAL RAPIDLY.
21:43:57 TALKING ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT, I SEE NOTHING HERE THAT'S
21:44:02 GOING TO SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT ONE DROP OF WATER.
21:44:06 NOTHING HERE THAT'S GOING TO SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT ANY
21:44:08 ELECTRICAL COSTS.
21:44:09 THERE'S NO SHOULDER.
21:44:14 THERE'S NOTHING THAT'S GOING TO DO SOMETHING FOR SOCIETY.
21:44:18 AND IF PEOPLE CAN DO IT, SO CAN YOU, SIR.
21:44:22 I AM NOT HERE TO LECTURE YOU.
21:44:23 I AM NOT YOUR PARENT.
21:44:25 I LIKE YOU.
21:44:26 I HAVEN'T MET YOU.
21:44:27 BUT YOU SEEM TO BE A REAL REASONABLE INDIVIDUAL.
21:44:30 ESPECIALLY IN CALIFORNIA, AND NEW MEXICO, THEY HAVE HAD MORE
21:44:36 FIRES THAN THEY HAD BEFORE.
21:44:39 YOU DIDN'T START THEM, NEITHER DID I.
21:44:41 IN ESSENCE WE ALL STARTED THEM BECAUSE WE ALL ABUSE NATURE.
21:44:45 AND NATURE CAN'T TAKE IT NO MORE.
21:44:47 NATURE HAS GOT TO COME AROUND AND SAY, I NEED A BREAK.
21:44:52 AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE GOT TO DO.
21:44:56 WE HAVE TO GIVE A BREAK TO NATURE.
21:44:57 WITHOUT DOING THAT, WE KEEP DOING WHAT WE ARE DOING.
21:45:04 AUTOMOBILES ARE ELECTRIC.
21:45:05 HOWEVER WHEN YOU CHARGE THEM UP, WHERE DO YOU GET
21:45:08 ELECTRICITY FROM?
21:45:10 THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS.
21:45:11 HOWEVER, I THINK THERE WILL BE CARS IN THE YEARS THAT USE
21:45:18 NOTHING BUT WATER.
21:45:19 I AM NOT A GENERAL USE.
21:45:20 I'M NOT AN EINSTEIN.
21:45:21 I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO COMB MY HAIR.
21:45:24 WHAT I AM TRYING TO TELL YOU IS WE HAVE GOT TO SEE SOMETHING
21:45:27 DONE FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST FOR SOMEONE.
21:45:30 THANK YOU.
21:45:31 >>JOSEPH CITRO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
21:45:37 >>LYNN HURTAK: CAN YOU TELL ME HOW MANY UNITS THIS
21:45:41 DEVELOPMENT HAS AND HOW MANY PARKING SPACES?
21:45:43 >>TYLER HUDSON: THE UNIT COUNT IS 269, AND I BELIEVE THE
21:45:49 PARKING COUNT IS 297. SORRY, 236 UNITS. APOLOGIES.
21:45:51 >>LYNN HURTAK: 236 UNITS AND 297 PARKING SPACES?
21:46:03 >>TYLER HUDSON: SORRY, 397 PARKING SPACES.
21:46:05 SORRY.
21:46:05 >>LYNN HURTAK: SO 237 UNITS -- 236 UNITS, AND 396 PARKING
21:46:14 SPACES.
21:46:17 THANK YOU.
21:46:17 I WOULD ADD, EXACTLY WHAT THE CODE REQUIRES.
21:46:28 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY QUESTION FOR YOU,
21:46:30 IF YOU HAD A QUESTION OF STAFF AS TO WHAT THE CODE REQUIRED.
21:46:33 >>LYNN HURTAK: YES, YES, YES.
21:46:35 SO I -- YES.
21:46:36 SO THAT IS THE AMOUNT THAT CODE REQUIRES?
21:46:39 >>MARTIN SHELBY: WELL, THAT'S A QUESTION YOU CAN CERTAINLY
21:46:42 ASK THE PETITIONER, BUT YOU CAN ALSO ASK THE STAFF.
21:46:45 >>TYLER HUDSON: THAT'S CORRECT.
21:46:47 UNLIKE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS, FOR EXAMPLE, WHERE THE CODE HAS
21:46:50 PROVISIONS FOR OFF-SITE PARKING, BICYCLES AND THINGS LIKE
21:46:53 THAT, THIS IS PART OF THE CITY BEING BLOCKS FROM DOWNTOWN
21:46:57 DOES NOT, AND THE CODE HERE IS THE SAME AS IN NEW TAMPA.
21:47:01 >>MARTIN SHELBY: COUNCIL, I AM JUST GOING TO BRING TO YOUR
21:47:08 ATTENTION, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, AND COUNCIL, I UNDERSTAND,
21:47:13 HAS CERTAIN POSITIONS AND GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS, BUT WITH
21:47:19 REGARD TO PARTICULAR REZONINGS, MY SUGGESTION, COUNCIL --
21:47:23 AND MY RECOMMENDATION, MY STRONG RECOMMENDATION IS THAT IF
21:47:28 THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE PARTICULAR SITE PLAN, RELATIVE TO
21:47:31 THE ISSUES OF THE WAIVERS, OR THE ISSUES OF THE CRITERIA
21:47:39 THAT YOU FOCUS ON THAT, BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE THE
21:47:42 APPROPRIATE WAY TO BE ABLE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THIS IS
21:47:45 COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA, AND ALSO WHETHER THIS
21:47:51 PROJECT MEETS THE CODE CRITERIA ITSELF.
21:47:59 SO I AM JUST ASKING COUNCIL TO BE MINDFUL AS TO MAKING
21:48:06 REQUESTS OF APPLICANTS THAT ARE NOT NECESSARILY IN THE CODE.
21:48:12 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MS. HURTAK, ARE YOU --
21:48:17 >>LYNN HURTAK: UNDERSTOOD.
21:48:18 I WAS JUST CURIOUS BECAUSE YOU TALKED ABOUT TRANSIT AND I
21:48:21 HADN'T HEARD ABOUT EITHER PARKING OR UNIT COUNT.
21:48:25 >> UNDERSTOOD.
21:48:26 THANK YOU.
21:48:27 >>MARTIN SHELBY: NOT DIRECTING TO YOU SPECIFICALLY BUT JUST
21:48:31 TO THE CONVERSATION GENERALLY.
21:48:33 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOVE TO CLOSE.

21:59:11 ITEM NUMBER 7 IS REZ 22-17.
21:59:16 THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO REZONE 4201 EAST 12th
21:59:21 AVENUE FROM CG TO CI.
21:59:24 I WILL TURN OVER THE PRESENTATION TO JENNIFER MALONE WITH
21:59:26 THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THEN I WILL COME BACK.
21:59:28 >>JENNIFER MALONE: PLANNING COMMISSION.
21:59:33 I AM GOING TO ASK PERMISSION TO SHARE MY SCREEN.
21:59:38 I APPRECIATE THAT.
21:59:39 SO THERE WE GO.
21:59:40 WE ARE AT 2217, CENTRAL PLANNING DISTRICT, THERE'S TRANSIT
21:59:51 AWAY FROM THE SITE AT NORTH 43rd AVENUE STREET.
21:59:55 HERE IS SUBJECT SITE OFF OF NORTH 43th STREET, SOUTH OF
22:00:00 INTERSTATE I-4.
22:00:02 WE HAVE COMMERCIAL LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TYPE USES DIRECTLY TO
22:00:07 THE WEST OF THE SPECIFIC SITE, A LITTLE FURTHER TO THE EAST
22:00:10 AND THEN SOUTHEAST A LOT OF WAREHOUSING IN THE AREA, BUT
22:00:15 THERE IS SOME SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENTIAL ALONG EAST
22:00:19 11th AVENUE TO THE SOUTH.
22:00:22 THE LAND USE IS COMMUNICATE COMMERCIAL 35, COMMERCIAL
22:00:27 INTENSIVE TYPE USES.
22:00:30 TO THE NORTH IS THE INDUSTRIAL LAND USE CATEGORY, AND THEN
22:00:33 TO THE WEST THE PINKISH COLOR IS TRANSITIONAL USE 24 WHICH
22:00:41 IS ONE STEP ABOVE, A LITTLE BIT MORE INTENSIVE THAN THE
22:00:44 COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35 IN THE RED, THE SUBJECT SITE IS IN.
22:00:49 DUE TO THE DIVERSE RANGE OF USES WITHIN A HALF MILE OF THE
22:00:53 PROJECT SITE INCLUDING LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND TO OTHER
22:00:56 COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE USES, WE DID FIND THAT THIS DISTRICT
22:00:59 WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THIS SITE PROVIDED THAT ANY
22:01:01 NON-ESSENTIAL DEVELOPMENT EXISTING RESIDENCES IN THE SITE
22:01:06 AND ANY DEVELOPMENT WOULD FOLLOW THE CODE.
22:01:09 THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOES REQUIRE COMMERCIAL USES
22:01:12 TO BE APPROPRIATELY BUFFERED FROM RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
22:01:16 AND KIND OF REFERS BACK TO THE CODE IN THE POLICY. IN
22:01:20 CONCLUSION WE DID FIND THIS WOULD ALLOW FOR DEVELOPMENT THAT
22:01:23 IS CONSISTENT WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA, AND THE DEVELOPMENT
22:01:28 PATTERN ANTICIPATED WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
22:01:33 I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER TO ANNIE.

22:15:26 UNITS, AND TWO RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNITS FOR
22:15:31 A TOTAL OF 4 DWELLING UNITS.
22:15:34 THESE ARE ELEVATIONS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT, AND THIS IS
22:15:38 THE EXISTING STRUCTURE, AND THAT WILL REMAIN AS PART OF THE
22:15:42 RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED.
22:15:45 UNIT.
22:15:47 SHOWN HERE IS THE CURRENT RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY
22:15:51 DWELLING.
22:15:53 AGAIN, AT THE CORNER OF AZEELE AND MELVILLE AVENUE.
22:15:58 LOOKING NORTH, THIS IS DIRECTLY SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
22:16:07 DEVELOPMENT AND REVIEW STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE APPLICATION

22:16:37 PETITIONER?
22:16:38 >> CAMPO, I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
22:16:43 THIS PARTICULAR APPLICATION AS ANNIE MENTIONED, THERE'S TWO
22:16:47 EXISTING STRUCTURES THAT WOULD REMAIN, SO REALLY WHAT'S
22:16:49 BEING PROPOSED IS THE TWO UNITS ATTACHED.
22:16:55 AS FAR AS THE ONE INCONSISTENCY THAT'S TRANSPORTATION AT THE
22:16:58 BACK OF THE ALLEY.
22:16:59 THE OTHER TWO WAIVERS THAT WE ARE ASKING FOR HAVE TO DO WITH
22:17:02 HAVING THE EXISTING STRUCTURES REMAIN.
22:17:04 SO I BELIEVE IT'S PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD BUT I'M AVAILABLE
22:17:08 FOR QUESTIONS.
22:17:08 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT?

22:17:46 COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
22:17:46 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
22:17:50 ALL RIGHT.
22:17:51 I HAVE AN ORDINANCE BEING PRESENTED FOR FIRST READING
22:17:53 CONSIDERS, AN ORDINANCE REZONING PROPERTY IN THE GENERAL
22:17:55 VICINITY OF 307 SOUTH MELVILLE AVENUE IN THE CITY OF TAMPA,

22:18:04 TO PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, RESIDENTIAL, SINGLE-FAMILY
22:18:07 DETACHED, AND RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI-DETACHED,
22:18:11 PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
22:18:14 THE PROPOSED REZONING BALANCES THE NEEDS SENSITIVE TO THE
22:18:17 AREA OF DETACHED UNITS IN SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD, ALSO
22:18:21 RECOGNIZING THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL HOUSING OPTIONS WITHIN
22:18:23 THE RESIDENTIAL 35 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION, CONSISTENT
22:18:26 IT WITH LAND USE POLICIES 1.26, 1.2.1-A, 2.1.1, 2.1.2 AND
22:18:36 9.3. WILL.
22:18:38 THE DENSITY PROPOSED OF THIS DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT EXCEED THE
22:18:40 DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY AND
22:18:43 IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT
22:18:46 PATTERN ANTICIPATED THROUGH THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, ALSO I
22:18:50 FIND IT IN COMPLIANCE WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION
22:18:52 27-136, FOR DEVELOPMENT AS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN,
22:18:58 ENCOURAGES DEVELOPMENT THAT IS APPROPRIATE IN LOCATION,
22:19:02 CHARACTER AND COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING

22:19:21 INJURE THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS, THIS WHOSE PROPERTY WOULD BE
22:19:25 AFFECTED BY THE WAIVER AND THAT WOULD INCLUDE THE REVISION

22:20:13 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
22:20:15 ITEM AGENDA NUMBER 11, FILE REZ 22-27.
22:20:19 >>ANNIE BARNES: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
22:20:23 ITEM NUMBER 11 IS REZ 22-27, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED
22:20:28 AT 2303 NORTH OLA AVENUE AND 211 WEST PARK AVENUE.
22:20:33 THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM RM-24 TO PD FOR
22:20:37 RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED USES.
22:20:40 I WILL TURN OVER THE PRESENTATION TO JENNIFER MALONE OF
22:20:43 PLANNING COMMISSION.
22:20:44 >>JENNIFER MALONE: PLANNING COMMISSION.
22:20:48 22-27 IS STILL IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT WITHIN
22:20:52 TAMPA HEIGHTS URBAN VILLAGE, NOT WITHIN AN EVACUATION ZONE.
22:20:55 THE SUBJECT SITE IS AT THE CORNER OF WEST PARK AVENUE AND
22:21:02 NORTH OLA AVENUE.
22:21:04 THE SURROUNDING AREA IS PRETTY MUCH A LOT OF RESIDENTIAL
22:21:10 WITH A LOT OF RESIDENTIAL TO THE SOUTH, WHICH IS REFLECTED
22:21:14 ON FUTURE LAND USE MAP, AND POINT OUT THAT THIS IS THE
22:21:17 ROBERT GARDNER PARK, WHICH IS THE RECREATIONAL OPEN SPACE
22:21:23 WHICH CAME BEFORE THIS COUNCIL, PART OF AN ONGOING PARKS
22:21:27 PLANNING UPDATE.
22:21:29 SO THE SUBJECT SITE IS RESIDENTIAL 35.
22:21:31 RECREATIONAL OPEN SPACE TO THE EAST.
22:21:33 AND THEN TO THE NORTH IS COMMUNITY MIX MIXED USE 35.
22:21:38 AGAIN, WE FOUND MANY OF THESE POLICIES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE
22:21:41 PLAN AS RELATES TO HOUSING FOR THE CITY'S POPULATION BUT
22:21:44 ALSO FOUND THAT IT WOULD BE DEVELOPED TO THE EXISTING BLOCK
22:21:48 AND LOT CONFIGURATION AND THE PLAN SUPPORTS THE VEHICULAR
22:21:53 ACCESS WHICH IS GOING TO BE PROVIDED FROM THE ALLEY TO THE
22:21:56 EAST, POLICIES THAT ENCOURAGE THAT.
22:21:59 WE ALSO FIND THAT VEHICULAR ALLEY ACCESS TO THE SITE WILL
22:22:02 HELP PRESERVE THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AND STREETSCAPE WITH
22:22:08 PEDESTRIANS, IS CONSISTENT WITH THE STRATEGY WHICH
22:22:10 ENCOURAGES IN-FILL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN PROXIMITY TO THE
22:22:13 TRANSIT AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES AND DIRECTS THE GROWTH TO
22:22:17 THE URBAN VILLAGES.
22:22:18 I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER TO ANNIE.
22:22:20 THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
22:22:21 THANK YOU.
22:22:22 >>ANNIE BARNES: ANNIE BARNES.
22:22:36 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF?
22:22:38 >>ANNIE BARNES: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
22:22:39 THIS IS REZ 22-27 FOR 2303 NORTH -- OLA AVENUE AND 211 WEST
22:22:48 PARK AVENUE, FROM RM-24 TO PD FOR RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY
22:22:51 ATTACHED USES.
22:22:52 THERE ARE NO WAIVERS REQUESTED OR ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
22:22:55 REQUEST.
22:22:57 SHOWN HERE IS A SURVEY OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
22:23:00 ANOTHER AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE, THE SURROUNDING ZONING,
22:23:03 PRIMARILY RESIDENTIAL IN NATURE, AND COMMERCIAL TO THE

22:23:09 HERE IS A PORTION OF THE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED BY THE
22:23:11 APPLICANT.
22:23:12 AS WELL AS ELEVATIONS.
22:23:16 THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE AS IT IS TODAY, LOOKING THE FURTHER
22:23:21 SOUTH.
22:23:22 AND AGAIN, FURTHER SOUTH ALONG OLA TOWARDS PARK, AND THE
22:23:28 INTERSECTION OF OLA AND PARK.
22:23:31 AND THIS IS ADJACENT TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ALONG OLA.
22:23:36 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE
22:23:39 APPLICATION AND FINDS THE REQUEST OVERALL CONSISTENT WITH
22:23:43 CITY OF TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
22:23:45 MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN MUST BE COMPLETED BY THE

22:23:53 I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
22:23:57 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?
22:24:00 MR. MECHANIK, BEFORE YOU START, I JUST NOTICED FIVE
22:24:03 DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT WALKED INTO THE ROOM HERE.
22:24:07 I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS DONE AND OVER WITH.
22:24:09 IF ANYBODY THAT HASN'T BEEN SWORN IN THAT'S IN THIS ROOM,
22:24:12 PLEASE RISE TO BE SWORN IN.
22:24:21 THANK YOU.
22:24:28 MR. MECHANIK.
22:24:30 >>DAVID MECHANIK: GOOD EVENING.
22:24:32 I WILL TRY TO BE BRIEF.
22:24:33 WE HAVE A FINDING OF CONSISTENCY IN THE STAFF REPORT.
22:24:38 BUT LET ME INTRODUCE MY CLIENT, WHICH I NEGLECTED TO DO.
22:24:43 JAMES RAMOS IS HERE WITH ME VIRTUALLY AND RANDY COEN OUR
22:24:50 PLANNER IS HERE.
22:24:52 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I APOLOGIZE ONE LAST TIME.
22:24:54 IS MR. RAMOS GOING TO BE GIVING ANY KIND OF TESTIMONY?
22:24:58 DOES HE NEED TO BE SWORN IN?
22:25:01 >>DAVID MECHANIK: NO, I DON'T BELIEVE SO.
22:25:03 >>JOSEPH CITRO: HE'S NOT LOGGED ON?
22:25:06 >> WELL, THERE YOU GO.
22:25:08 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
22:25:09 >>DAVID MECHANIK: WE HAVE A FINDING OF CONSISTENCY FROM BOTH
22:25:12 CITY AND PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
22:25:15 WE FOR THE RECORD AGREE WITH ALL THE REVISIONS BEING
22:25:19 PROPOSED BY THE STAFF.
22:25:24 I HAVE JUST ONE HOUSEKEEPING ITEM, AND I WOULD LIKE TO JUST
22:25:29 NOTE FOR THE RECORD, THE TAMPA HEIGHTS CIVIC ASSOCIATION
22:25:37 SENT AN E-MAIL AND IS IN THE QUASI BOX WHICH OFFERS ITS
22:25:42 SUPPORT FOR THE ZONING APPLICATION, AND WE WORKED QUITE
22:25:48 EXTENSIVELY WITH THEM MAKING SOME CHANGES AT THEIR REQUEST,
22:25:52 AND ONE OF MY HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS IS WE HAVE ONE MORE CHANGE
22:25:58 WHICH THEY HAVE REQUESTED THAT JUST DIDN'T MAKE IT ONTO OUR
22:26:02 SITE PLAN, AND I WILL STATE THIS AND THEN HAND IT OUT, IS A
22:26:07 REDUCTION OF THE SOUTH PORCH SETBACK FROM 4.5 FEET TO 2.5
22:26:14 FEET TO PERMIT A WRAPAROUND PORCH, WHICH THE CIVIC
22:26:19 ASSOCIATION REQUESTED THAT WE DO HAVE.
22:26:40 WITH THAT VERY BRIEFLY I WILL ASK RANDY COEN TO WALK YOU
22:26:43 THROUGH THE SITE PLAN AND WE WILL BE VERY BRIEF.
22:26:45 >>RANDY COEN: 4121 WEST CYPRESS STREET.
22:26:53 I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
22:26:54 I AM GOING TO USE THE ELMO RATHER QUICKLY.
22:27:00 TONIGHT WE HAVE A PROJECT THAT IS A VERY TRADITIONAL
22:27:03 TOWNHOUSE PROJECT ENDORSED BY THE TAMPA HEIGHTS CIVIC
22:27:05 ASSOCIATION.
22:27:06 IT CONSISTS OF SIX SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED DWELLING UNITS.
22:27:11 HERE ARE THE ELEVATIONS.
22:27:13 THIS IS THE FRONT ELEVATION.
22:27:14 YOU CAN SEE THE PORCHES.
22:27:15 THIS IS THE BACK ELEVATION WHICH WE WILL TALK A LITTLE MORE
22:27:20 WITH THE FINAL REQUEST MR. MECHANIK TALKED ABOUT.
22:27:24 THIS IS THE REAR.
22:27:25 ALL THE PARKING IS SERVICED BY AN ALLEYWAY AND THIS IS THE
22:27:28 OTHER ELEVATION ON THE NORTH SIDE.
22:27:30 NOW I WILL GO TO THIS WHICH MAKES THESE A LITTLE CLEARER.
22:27:42 LET ME SEE IF WE CAN GET THAT -- PERFECT.
22:27:46 AGAIN, WE HAVE THE SIX DWELLING UNITS.
22:27:49 WE HAVE FRONT PORCHES THAT ALL FACE OLA.
22:27:52 SIDEWALKS CONNECTING TO THE PUBLIC SIDEWALK IN THE AREA.
22:27:56 ALLEYWAY IN THE REAR WITH ALL OF THE PARKING IN THE REAR.
22:28:01 ALL OF THESE PORCHES BEING ONE ADDITIONAL REQUEST THAT WAS
22:28:04 MADE BY THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION, TO LEAVE THE BUILDING WHERE
22:28:08 IT IS WITH A 7-FOOT SETBACK BUT SIMPLY TO DECREASE THE
22:28:12 SETBACK FOR THE PORCH FROM 4.5 FEET TO 2.5 FEET SO THERE
22:28:17 COULD BE A MEANINGFUL WRAP AROUND PORCH PROVIDED.
22:28:20 WITH THAT SMALLER SETBACK, THE PORCH IS STILL 17-PLUS FEET
22:28:25 AWAY FROM THE ROADWAY ITSELF SO IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AT
22:28:28 ALL.
22:28:29 THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, THOUGHT IT JUST BROUGHT THE
22:28:35 PROJECT MORE INTO CONVERSATION AND PROVIDED A LITTLE NICER
22:28:38 WALKING ENVIRONMENT AROUND THE PROJECT.
22:28:39 WITH THAT HELP TO -- HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT
22:28:43 HAVE.
22:28:44 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE PETITIONER?
22:28:49 >>DAVID MECHANIK: WE HAVE NOTHING FURTHER, MR. CHAIRMAN.
22:28:50 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
22:28:52 I AM CHECKING WITH LEGAL, IF WE ARE GOING TO MAKE THIS
22:28:57 REVISION BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
22:28:58 >>CATE WELLS: FOR THE RECORD, I THINK THAT WAS THE INTENT
22:29:09 OF THE APPLICANT.
22:29:10 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
22:29:11 >>CATE WELLS: BUT I THINK STAFF NEEDS TO CONFIRM THAT THIS
22:29:14 DOESN'T IMPACT THE SITE PLAN AND THAT IT'S JUST A NOTE TO BE
22:29:17 ADDED TO THE SITE PLAN.
22:29:19 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MS. WELLS.
22:29:21 IS THERE ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT
22:29:25 THIS?
22:29:26 ANY PUBLIC COMMENT?
22:29:29 MR. MECHANIK, REBUTTAL, IF YOU LIKE.
22:29:32 >>THE CLERK: THERE'S NO REGISTERED SPEAKERS FOR THIS ITEM.
22:29:36 >>DAVID MECHANIK: NOTHING FURTHER.
22:29:38 MR. CHAIRMAN.
22:29:39 BUT WE WOULD -- AND THIS WAS A CHANGE AND WE APPRECIATE YOU
22:29:48 INCORPORATING THAT.
22:29:49 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF WE COULD JUST ASK MS. BARNES TO CONFIRM
22:29:54 THE TIMING OF THIS AND WHETHER THIS REQUIRES A CHANGE OR
22:29:57 JUST A SIMPLE NOTE AND WE COULD JUST BE DONE BETWEEN FIRST
22:30:00 AND SECOND READING JUST TO BE CLEAR.
22:30:02 >>ANNIE BARNES: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
22:30:04 SO THIS NEEDS TO BE CHANGED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
22:30:08 READING.
22:30:09 I DID CONFIRM WITH JONATHAN SCOTT IN TRANSPORTATION THAT
22:30:13 THIS DOESN'T CAUSE A SITE VISIBILITY TRIANGLE ISSUE.
22:30:19 >>MARTIN SHELBY: AND IT DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY ADDITIONAL
22:30:21 TIME.
22:30:21 IT'S JUST A NOTE AND NO OTHER CHANGES TO THE SITE PLAN.
22:30:24 IS THAT CORRECT?
22:30:24 >>ANNIE BARNES: THE SITE PLAN WILL HAVE TO REFLECT THAT TWO
22:30:28 AND A HALF FOOT SETBACK BUT THAT CAN BE A MODIFICATION
22:30:31 BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
22:30:34 >>MARTIN SHELBY: UNDERSTOOD.
22:30:36 THANK YOU.
22:30:36 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCILMAN VIERA.
22:30:41 SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
22:30:42 ALL IN FAVOR?
22:30:44 COUNCILMAN VIERA.

22:30:56 READING CONSIDERATION, AN ORDINANCE REZONING PROPERTY IN THE

22:31:09 RM-24 RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY TO PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT,
22:31:12 RESIDENTIAL, SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE
22:31:14 DATE.
22:31:19 I ADOPT THE FINDINGS AND REASONING OF THE PLANNING
22:31:22 COMMISSION AND THE CITY STAFF REPORTS BASED UPON COMPETENT,
22:31:26 SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE FOUND IN THE STAFF REPORT, APPLICANT'S
22:31:30 REPORT, TESTIMONY, ET CETERA, THAT ESTABLISHES COMPLIANCE
22:31:32 WITH THE APPLICABLE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES IN THE
22:31:35 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, COMPLIANCE WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
22:31:37 SECTION 27-1 THROUGH 6.
22:31:41 THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH.
22:31:42 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND.
22:31:44 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MOTION MADE BY COUNCILMAN VIERA.
22:31:46 SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
22:31:48 ANY DISCUSSION?
22:31:48 >>THE CLERK: DID WE NEED TO ADD THIS REVISION?
22:31:55 >>MARTIN SHELBY: ACTUALLY IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED.
22:31:57 >>LYNN HURTAK: I MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO ADD THE REVISION.
22:32:00 >>LUIS VIERA: I INCORPORATE THE WISE AMENDMENT.

22:32:17 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED WITH CARLSON BEING ABSENT.
22:32:21 SECOND READING AND ADOPTION WILL BE HELD ON JUNE 2nd,

22:32:26 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
22:32:28 BEFORE WE GO TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 12, AGAIN I NOTICED THERE
22:32:34 WERE FIVE PEOPLE THAT JUST WALKED IN.
22:32:39 WOULD YOU PLEASE RISE TO BE SWORN IN?
22:32:43 DO WE SEE ANYBODY OUT IN THE HALLWAY THAT MIGHT BE OUT
22:32:46 THERE?
22:32:47 SO THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE THE LAST TIME, YES?
22:32:56 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
22:32:58 AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 12.
22:33:00 FILE REZ 22-19.
22:33:06 OKAY, EXCUSE ME.
22:33:07 >>ANNIE BARNES: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
22:33:10 ITEM NUMBER 12 IS REZ 22-15.
22:33:13 REQUEST TO REZONE THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1102 EAST CURTIS
22:33:18 STREET AND 11 -- I'M SORRY, 1009, 1011 AND 1008 EAST OSBORNE
22:33:26 AVENUE FROM SEMINOLE HEIGHTS RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY
22:33:28 ATTACHED TO SEMINOLE HEIGHTS PD.
22:33:30 I WILL TURN OVER THE PRESENTATION TO JENNIFER MALONE WITH
22:33:33 PLANNING COMMISSION.
22:33:34 >>JENNIFER MALONE: GOOD EVENING, JENNIFER MALONE AGAIN,
22:33:40 YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION.
22:33:41 22-15 IS IN THE CENTRAL PLANNING DISTRICT IN SEMINOLE
22:33:44 HEIGHTS URBAN VILLAGE.
22:33:46 NOT LOCATED WITHIN ANY EVACUATION ZONE.
22:33:49 HERE IS THE SUBJECT SITE ALONG NORTH OSBORNE AVENUE, AND
22:33:55 12th STREET.
22:33:56 THE SURROUNDING AREA IS PRETTY MUCH HOUSING, DIFFERENT TYPES
22:34:01 OF HOUSING, SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED.
22:34:04 AND THAT'S REFLECTIVE OF WHAT'S ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
22:34:08 THE SURROUNDING AREA IS RESIDENTIAL 10.
22:34:11 THERE'S SOME RESIDENTIAL 20 INCLUDED IN THE SUBJECT SITE
22:34:14 S.MOST OF THE SITE RESIDENTIAL 20, BUT THERE IS A LITTLE
22:34:19 PORTION OF IT OFF EAST OSBORNE AVENUE SO IT HAS TWO FUTURE
22:34:23 LAND USES.
22:34:25 SO WHAT WE DO IN THAT SITUATION IS LOCATED IN AN URBAN
22:34:29 VILLAGE.
22:34:30 LAND USE POLICY 5.1.6 WOULD APPLY, IT ONLY APPLIES IN URBAN
22:34:35 VILLAGES AND ALLOWS THE APPLICANTS TO TAKE KIND OF A BLEND
22:34:39 OF THEIR DENSITY AND THEIR USES AND THEY CAN SPREAD IT
22:34:42 BETWEEN THE SITE FOR APPROVAL OF LAND DEVELOPMENT ZONING.
22:34:46 SO THE APPLICANT IS UTILIZING THAT POLICY BEFORE YOU TODAY.
22:34:50 SO THE OVERALL DENSITY IS A DENSITY OF 17.71 UNITS PER ACRE,
22:34:55 AND CONSISTENT WITH OUR RESIDENTIAL 20 FUTURE LAND USE
22:35:00 DESIGNATION WHICH IS THE MAJORITY OF THE SUBJECT SITE,
22:35:03 AND -- THROUGH THIS AREA OF THE CITY.
22:35:09 WE ALSO FOUND THAT THE DESIGN TO THE EXTENT THAT THE
22:35:13 APPLICANT WAS ABLE PROVIDING DOORS WITH PEDESTRIAN
22:35:17 CONNECTIONS ALSO QUINT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND
22:35:20 FOUND THAT IT PROVIDED A RANGE OF HOUSING TYPES COMPATIBLE
22:35:26 WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA, SUPPORT THE PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC BY
22:35:28 PROVIDING THOSE CONNECTIONS, AND ITS CONSISTENT WITH THE
22:35:34 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WE FOUND NO NEGATIVE IMPACTS TO THE
22:35:37 SURROUNDING AREA.
22:35:39 SO I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER TO ANNIE.

22:37:41 THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE
22:37:44 APPLICATION AND FIND THE OVERALL REQUEST INCONSISTENT WITH
22:37:46 THE CITY OF TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
22:37:48 PLEASE REFER TO THE DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION COMMENTS FOR
22:37:51 OVERALL INCONSISTENCY.
22:37:54 MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN MUST BE COMPLETED BY THE
22:37:56 APPLICANT IN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING OF THE
22:37:59 ORDINANCE AS STATED ON THE REVISION SHEET APPROVING THE

22:38:02 I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
22:38:04 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?
22:38:08 APPLICANT?
22:38:08 >> GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIRMAN, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
22:38:14 MY NAME IS DAVID MECHANIK.
22:38:18 I AM HERE ON BEHALF OF JACOB EGAN, THE APPLICANT.
22:38:26 I ALSO HAVE WITH ME THIS EVENING JUSTIN GUY OF ONYX, ROTH,
22:38:34 PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER WITH BOLLARD ENGINEERING, MICHAEL
22:38:38 YATES, A PROFESSIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNER, AND ERIN
22:38:42 BARKER, ARCHITECT WHO WILL BE JOINING VIRTUALLY, AND WE
22:38:47 WOULD ASK THAT SHE BE ALLOWED TO SHARE HER SCREEN.
22:38:50 I BELIEVE SHE'S ONLINE RIGHT NOW.
22:39:02 ARE YOU ABLE TO MAKE CONTACT?
22:39:04 >>THE CLERK: YES, SHE'S ON.
22:39:06 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MS. BARKER, ARE YOU THERE?
22:39:09 >> YES, I AM.
22:39:12 CAN YOU HEAR ME?
22:39:14 >>DAVID MECHANIK: THE RESUMÉS OF OUR EXPERT WITNESSES.
22:39:19 >>THE CLERK: MS. BARKER, CAN YOU PLEASE TURN YOUR CAMERA
22:39:23 ON?
22:39:31 RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.
22:39:32 (OATH ADMINISTERED BY CLERK).
22:39:33 >> I DO.
22:39:40 >>THE CLERK: THANK YOU.
22:39:46 >>DAVID MECHANIK: WE WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE ITEM
22:39:51 CONSISTENCY LISTED IN THE STAFF REPORT AND EXPLAIN THE
22:39:56 NECESSITY FOR THE WAIVER.
22:39:58 ONE OF THE WAIVERS I WOULD JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT, COUNCIL,
22:40:04 SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, MODIFIED THE ZONING CODE TO ALLOW FOR NOT
22:40:12 HAVE THE REQUIREMENT TO FACE THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY.
22:40:17 WELL, OUR PROJECT IS SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED, WHICH IS THE
22:40:21 SITE PLAN HAS -- WE ARE REQUIRED TO SEEK THE WAIVER BECAUSE
22:40:28 THAT PART OF THE CODE WASN'T CHANGED, AND I AM NOT SURE THE
22:40:32 REASON FOR THAT, BUT THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME.
22:40:41 SO THE WAIVER SHOULD NOT REALLY BE REQUIRED.
22:40:43 WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ASK FOR AN ADDITIONAL REVISION BECAUSE
22:40:48 WE WOULD LIKE TO ELIMINATE ONE OF THE WAIVERS WHICH ARE
22:40:52 LISTED IN YOUR REPORT.
22:40:57 UNDER WAIVER 2, THE SECOND BULLET, INSTEAD OF ASKING FOR A
22:41:03 WAIVER OF THE LENGTH OF THE BUILDING TO EXCEED 200 FEET, WE
22:41:09 ARE ASKING THAT WE BE ABLE TO COMBINE TWO UNITS FROM ONE
22:41:13 BUILDING INTO A SECOND BUILDING, AND WE HAVE ALSO SUBMITTED
22:41:19 THIS TO THE STAFF.
22:41:20 THEY ARE AWARE OF THE REQUEST.
22:41:23 I WILL GO AHEAD AND HAND THIS TO COUNCIL.
22:41:42 I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE SUBJECT TO THE SAME QUESTION ON
22:41:44 THE PRIOR MATTER, BUT THIS HAS BEEN SEEN BY THE STAFF, AND
22:41:47 WE WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE BEING ABLE TO ELIMINATE THE
22:41:51 WAIVER.
22:41:53 AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK ROTH TO WALK YOU THROUGH
22:41:58 THE SITE PLAN AND TO DISCUSS THE WAIVERS.
22:42:03 THANK YOU.
22:42:03 >> GREGORY ROTH WITH FULLER ENGINEER, AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN
22:42:15 IN.
22:42:15 IF WE COULD PULL THE PowerPoint PRESENTATION UP THAT ERIN
22:42:23 HAS.
22:42:25 WHILE YOU PULL THAT I WILL START TO DISCUSS THE SITE PLANS.
22:42:29 THE EXISTING CONDITIONS OF THE PROPERTY IT'S A VACANT CHURCH
22:42:33 ON THE SOUTH AND EAST SIDE, IT'S AN OPEN -- ALONG CURTIS
22:42:39 AVENUE AND IS 12TH STREET, NO SIDEWALKS OR PEDESTRIAN
22:42:42 CONNECTIVITY.
22:42:43 I AM NOT SURE IF ERIN CAN PULL THE NEXT SLIDE HERE.
22:42:48 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MAKE IT FULL SCREEN, PLEASE.
22:42:52 >> YES, CAN YOU MAKE THAT FULL SCREEN, TOO, ERIN?
22:42:56 >> LET ME FIGURE THAT OUT.
22:43:00 >> GO ON WITH THE NEXT SLIDE.
22:43:03 IT'S PRETTIER THAN THIS ONE.
22:43:04 >> HOW ABOUT THAT?
22:43:06 >> ROTH: EXCELLENT.
22:43:09 THE PROPOSED PROJECT, JUST FOR REFERENCE ON THE SITE PLAN,
22:43:11 IT MEETS THE ALLOWABLE DENSITY, MEETS THE DUA AND GREEN
22:43:16 SPACE REQUIREMENTS.
22:43:17 WE ARE WITHIN THE BUILDING HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS, 35 FEET IS
22:43:20 CONSISTENT WITH THE RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT.
22:43:22 WE EXCEED PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE RESIDENCE AS WELL AS
22:43:32 FOR GUESTS.
22:43:32 A COUPLE NOTES HERE.
22:43:33 WE DID HOLD THREE NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS AND WE TOOK INTO
22:43:36 ACCOUNT INPUT THAT WAS RECEIVED, A COUPLE ITEMS THAT WE
22:43:39 CHANGED ALONG THE WAY FOR THE SIT SITE PLAN, PEDESTRIAN
22:43:43 CONNECTIVITY WAS ONE THAT CAME UP.
22:43:44 WE ADDED SIDEWALKS ALONG CURTIS AND 12th AND WE ARE ALSO
22:43:48 PROPOSING TO IMPROVE THE SIDEWALK ALONG OSBORNE.
22:43:51 WE ARE ALSO COMMITTING TO ADD CROSSWALKS AT THE INTERSECTION
22:43:54 OF OSBORNE AND 12th AS WELL AS CURTIS AND 12th.
22:43:59 WE HAVE CLOSED THE EASTERN DRIVEWAY ALONG OSBORNE, IF YOU
22:44:02 CAN SEE THAT THERE ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE SITE.
22:44:05 WE ORIGINALLY PROPOSED TO HAVE A CONNECTION.
22:44:08 WE REMOVED THAT CONNECTION BASED ON THE INPUT FROM THE
22:44:12 NEIGHBORS, MOSTLY BECAUSE OF PROXIMITY TO 12th.
22:44:15 AND WE REORIENTED THE SITE PLAN IN ORDER TO PROVIDE INTERNAL
22:44:19 CONNECTION SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE MULTIPLE ACCESS POINTS THERE.
22:44:23 WITHIN THE SITE PLAN, THE MAJORITY OF THE DRIVEWAY, THEY ARE
22:44:26 ACCESSING INTERNAL DRIVE AISLES SO THAT WE COULD REDUCE THE
22:44:29 NUMBER OF CURB CUTS AND CONFLICT POINTS TO THE LOCAL PUBLIC
22:44:33 ROADS.
22:44:35 AND EVERYWHERE WHERE THIS PROJECT ABUTS SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS
22:44:40 WE ARE PROPOSING SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS FOR
22:44:42 CONSISTENCY AND COMPATIBILITY WITH THE NEIGHBORS.
22:44:45 THE WAIVERS THAT WE ARE ASKING FOR JUST TO RUN THROUGH THOSE
22:44:48 FROM A SITE PLAN STANDPOINT, THE TREE PRESERVATION, WE
22:44:51 WORKED CLOSELY WITH NATURAL RESOURCES DEPARTMENT OF PROTECT
22:44:56 AS MANY TREES AS WE COMMENT NATURAL RESOURCES FOUND THIS
22:44:59 CONSISTENT.
22:45:00 THERE WERE A COUPLE MORE TREES THAT WE ORIGINALLY WERE
22:45:02 LOOKING TO SAVE BUT AS WE REORIENTED THE SITE BASED ON INPUT
22:45:06 FROM THE NEIGHBORS, THERE WERE A COUPLE OF TREES THAT ENDED
22:45:09 UP HAVING TO GET IMPACTED BECAUSE OF THAT WHICH WERE PART OF
22:45:12 THE PRESERVATION REQUIREMENTS.
22:45:14 WE HAD A WAIVER FOR 19 OF THE 48 UNITS NOT FACING THE
22:45:18 RIGHT-OF-WAY.
22:45:19 MR. MECHANIK HAD MENTIONED THAT IN HIS OPENING, BUT ALSO THE
22:45:22 SITE PLAN THAT WE HAVE BEFORE YOU MAXIMIZES THE AMOUNT OF
22:45:26 UNITS THAT CAN PHYSICALLY FACE THE STREET.
22:45:30 THERE IS JUST NO WAY TO ACHIEVE THE ALLOWABLE DENSITY
22:45:32 WITHOUT AFFECTING INTERNAL UNITS HERE.
22:45:35 WE HAVE A REQUEST TO REDUCE THE MINIMUM 15-FOOT DISTANCE
22:45:38 BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS.
22:45:41 ANOTHER ONE IS THE MATCHING OUT AS MANY UNITS AS WE CAN FACE
22:45:45 THE RIGHT-OF-WAY SO THE ORIENTATION DICTATES THAT WE HAVE A
22:45:48 COUPLE UNITS CLOSER TO EACH OTHER.
22:45:50 THE BUILD-TO LINES ON PARCEL ONE, THE DEPTH OF THE LOT IS
22:45:54 60-FOOT DEEP SO PHYSICALLY THERE WOULD BE ALMOST NO WAY TO
22:45:59 COMPLY.
22:45:59 ON PARCEL 2, THAT'S ANOTHER ORIENTATION THAT AS WE TRY TO
22:46:03 COMPLY WITH THE BUILD-TO LINES, IT'S VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO
22:46:07 ACTUALLY PROVIDE THE BUILD-TO WITH THE NEIGHBORING UNITS
22:46:11 THERE.
22:46:12 AND THEN ONE ITEM, ERIN, IF YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE AND
22:46:17 ZOOM IN, IF YOU COULD.
22:46:18 GO THEY'RE WE GO.
22:46:19 THIS IS WHAT MR. MECHANIK HAD MENTIONED.
22:46:22 WHICH THERE IS A WAIVER, AND IT'S WAIVER NUMBER 2, WHICH
22:46:28 LISTS THE MODIFICATION BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
22:46:31 WE HAVE MODIFIED THE SITE PLAN AND ARE PROPOSING TO UPDATE
22:46:34 THAT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING TO DETACH ONE OF THE
22:46:38 UNITS SO THAT WE DO NOT EXCEED THE 200-FOOT OF BUILDING.
22:46:43 WE BELIEVE THAT THIS WILL ACTUALLY BENEFIT THE SITE, IF WE
22:46:47 ARE ABLE TO PUT ONE UNIT CLOSER TO THE SINGLE-FAMILY
22:46:49 RESIDENTIAL ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE PARCEL, AND THEN IT WILL
22:46:52 ELIMINATE A WAIVER, AND IT HAS A ONE-UNIT SINGLE-FAMILY ON
22:46:57 THE WEST SIDE AND THEN A 4-UNIT BUILDING WHICH WILL BE LESS
22:47:00 THAN 200 FEET LONG, AND THIS ALLOWS US TO REDUCE THE WAIVER
22:47:05 THAT'S PROPOSED AS WELL AS PROVIDE A BETTER FRONTAGE TO.
22:47:12 AND WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MICHAEL YATES TO
22:47:16 DISCUSS THE TRAFFIC.
22:47:16 >> MICHAEL YATES, WITH BON TRAFFIC.
22:47:24 I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
22:47:25 WHAT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE ON YOUR SCREENS IS THE TRIP
22:47:27 GENERATION COMPARISON WITH THE EXISTING CHART USING ITE.
22:47:32 WHEN WE DID THIS ORIGINAL SUBMITTAL, THERE WAS A NET
22:47:35 DIFFERENCE OF 55 DAILY TRIPS, 7 A.M. PEEK HOUR TRIPS AND
22:47:40 8 P.M. PEAK HOUR TRIPS.
22:47:43 ACTUALLY, THEY CAME OUT WITH THE 11th POSITION AFTER WE
22:47:48 MADE OUR INITIAL FILING AND THAT ACTUALLY SHOWS A NEAT
22:47:52 DECREASE OF DAILY TRIPS, AND THEN A ZERO WASH ON THE A.M.
22:47:58 PEAK HOUR AND A NET INCREASE OF FIVE P.M. TRIPS.
22:48:03 ALSO TO NOTE OSBORNE BASED ON THE LATEST SERVICE TABLES
22:48:08 OPERATES AT LEVEL OF SERVICE C AS IN CAT AND HAS A VOLUME TO
22:48:13 CAPACITY OF .41.
22:48:15 SO THERE IS MORE THAN SUFFICIENT CAPACITY ON THE ADJACENT
22:48:19 ROADWAYS.
22:48:20 I WILL TURN IT OVER TO ERIN TO FINISH UP THE PRESENTATION.
22:48:29 I'M ERIN BARKER WITH DESIGN STUDIO, THE DESIGN DIRECTOR AND
22:48:34 DESIGNER FOR THE PROJECT.
22:48:35 I BELIEVE WE ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH ITS CURRENT STATE OF
22:48:42 DISREPAIR.
22:48:42 WE WORKED VERY HARD TO ACHIEVE A SENSITIVE AND THOUGHTFUL
22:48:47 APPROACH TO THE SITE DEVELOPMENT AND FORWARD THINKING
22:48:50 POSITIVE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY.
22:48:52 AS MENTIONED BEFORE, WE DID MEET THREE TIMES WITH THE CIVIC
22:48:54 ASSOCIATIONS AND ADJUSTED OUR OVERALL SITE PLAN,
22:48:58 ARCHITECTURE AND BUILDING SCALE TO CREATE A SMOOTH
22:49:02 TOPOGRAPHY OF ARCHITECTURE.
22:49:04 THE SCREEN YOU SEE NOW IS THE NORTHWEST CORNER HIGHLIGHTED.
22:49:09 IT'S DESIGNING THE SINGLE-FAMILY TO ITS WEST.
22:49:15 WE ARE PROPOSING THREE SINGLE-FAMILY STRUCTURES WITH
22:49:18 DETACHED GARAGES WHICH ARE ALLEY LOAD.
22:49:21 THE FRONT PORCHES WERE DESIGNED TO HAVE 50% FRONT PORCHES
22:49:27 BUT AT THE SUGGESTION OF ONE OF THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS, WE
22:49:29 HAVE INCREASED THOSE TO FULL WIDTH FRONT PORCHES.
22:49:35 THE EXAMPLE OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY WHICH I BELIEVE YOU SAW ON
22:49:39 EARLIER SLIDES, THE DIFFERENT STYLES AND THE DETACHED
22:49:44 GARAGES TO THE BACK.
22:49:47 AT THE NORTH AND SOUTH PORTIONS OF OUR PROPERTY, THE
22:49:53 WESTERLY STRUCTURE ON EACH ONE IS A SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED
22:49:57 WHICH DESIGNS THE EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED STRUCTURES
22:50:02 IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
22:50:05 THE BUILDINGS TO THE EAST OF EACH OF THOSE ARE THREE AND
22:50:08 FOUR-FOOT -- EXCUSE ME, THREE AND FOUR ATTACHED
22:50:12 SINGLE-FAMILY TWO STRUCTURE STRUCTURES.
22:50:16 EACH INCLUDE A 50% FACADE WITH A FRONT PORCH, GABLES WHICH
22:50:21 ARE TYPICAL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND FRONT FACING GABLES.
22:50:24 AND THE GARAGES ARE SET BACK AN ADDITIONAL 10 FEET FROM THE
22:50:27 FRONT FACADE.
22:50:30 THESE ARE EXAMPLES OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED AND 3 PLEX
22:50:40 AND 4 PLEX.
22:50:41 TO THE EAST, IN THE CENTER AND EAST OF THE SITE, WE ARE
22:50:47 PROPOSING AT THE EAST SIDE TWO BUILDINGS THAT SIX
22:50:52 SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED, GARAGES FACING THE INTERIOR, FACING
22:50:58 12th, AND FOUR SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS ACROSS 12th.
22:51:02 THESE WERE ORIGINALLY SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED WITH A PITCHED
22:51:07 ROOF, BEGAN AFTER MEETING WITH ONE OF THE CIVIC
22:51:10 ASSOCIATIONS, THERE WAS CONCERN ABOUT THE BUILDING HEIGHT,
22:51:13 AND WE REDESIGNED THE BUILDING TO BE A FLAT DECK ROOF.
22:51:17 AT THE TOP, THE MECHANICAL UNITS WERE THEN MOVED FOR ALL OF
22:51:24 THESE STRUCTURES, ALL OF OUR MECHANICALS HAVE BEEN MOVED TO
22:51:27 THE ROOF, AND AS GREG MENTIONED, WE ARE BELOW THE 35-FOOT
22:51:34 MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT.
22:51:37 THESE ARE EXAMPLES OF THE BUILDINGS FACING OSBORNE AND
22:51:46 INTERIOR TO THE SITE AND FACING 12th.
22:51:57 THIS IS THE APPROACH FROM CURTIS, AND IT DEPICTS THE
22:52:03 SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED AND SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED, AND THE
22:52:13 SCALE OF TWO STORIES.
22:52:14 THIS IS THE APPROACH, SHOWS THE APPROACH TO THE WEST
22:52:16 APPROACH ON OSBORNE WHICH IS SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED AND
22:52:20 SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED ACROSS FROM OUR PROPOSED
22:52:24 SINGLE-FAMILY AND SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED ON OSBORNE.
22:52:32 THIS IS THE INTERIOR VIEW OF THE PARK AND RECREATION AREA,
22:52:37 TWO-STORY AND THREE-STORY STRUCTURES.
22:52:40 I DID WANT TO MENTION THAT THE EXISTING FACE DOES HAVE
22:52:46 PREDOMINANTLY TWO STORY BUT IT DOES HAVE A VERY IS MAUL
22:52:49 SECTION THAT IS A THREE-STORY STRUCTURE.
22:52:53 IN CLOSING, WE FEEL STRONGLY THAT THE PROPOSED NEIGHBORHOOD
22:52:58 CONTRIBUTES TO THE COMMUNITY WITH SINGLE-FAMILY AND
22:53:01 SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED AND FITS THE UNDERLYING ZONING, AND
22:53:06 IS A POSITIVE AND THOUGHTFUL CONTRIBUTION TO THE COMMUNITY.
22:53:09 AND WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER TO DAVE.
22:53:15 >>DAVID MECHANIK: THANK YOU.
22:53:15 THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION AND WE WILL BE HAPPY TO
22:53:18 ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
22:53:19 >>JOSEPH CITRO: COUNCILMAN GUDES?
22:53:21 >>ORLANDO GUDES: TWO QUESTIONS.
22:53:23 EAST TAMPA DOES HAVE AN OVERLAY.
22:53:27 WAS THAT TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION?
22:53:29 >>DAVID MECHANIK: YES, SIR.
22:53:29 THE URBAN DESIGN HAD NO OBJECTION TO IT.
22:53:36 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I HEARD HER MENTION SEVERAL TIMES
22:53:39 NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS.
22:53:41 WHICH WERE THOSE?
22:53:51 >>DAVID MECHANIK: THE -- I'M SORRY.
22:53:52 SOUTHEAST SEMINOLE HEIGHTS, SEMINOLE HEIGHTS ALLIANCE.
22:54:00 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YOU TALKED TO SOUTHEAST SEMINOLE HEIGHTS.
22:54:06 OKAY.
22:54:06 SO YOU NEVER TALKED TO EAST TAMPA CAC?
22:54:12 >>DAVID MECHANIK: I DON'T BELIEVE SO.
22:54:12 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU.
22:54:15 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
22:54:28 ANY PUBLIC COMMENT?
22:54:29 PLEASE FORM A LINE, MY LEFT, YOUR RIGHT.
22:54:35 >> MY NAME IS ANN HARTWELL.
22:54:47 I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.
22:54:48 I LIVE AT 11502 EAST GENESEE STREET.
22:54:54 I AM REQUESTING THAT YOU DENY THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT BY
22:54:59 ONYX EAST.
22:55:02 OUR SEMINOLE HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD HAS A VERY DIVERSE
22:55:07 POPULATION.
22:55:08 WE ALSO HAVE SPACE TO WALK OUR DOGS, BIKE IN THE
22:55:15 NEIGHBORHOOD, IT'S A QUIET SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
22:55:17 NEIGHBORHOOD, BASICALLY 1920 BUNGALOW STYLE HOUSES WITH
22:55:22 FRONT PORCHES.
22:55:23 WE ALL FOLLOW CODE.
22:55:25 WE ARE SET BACK 25 FEET.
22:55:27 WE CAN'T PUT ON CARPORTS OR ADD THINGS BECAUSE THERE'S CODE
22:55:32 THAT WE FOLLOW.
22:55:35 WHAT THIS GROUP IS PROPOSING IS ASKING FOR A TON OF WAIVERS,
22:55:39 A BUNCH OF EXCEPTIONS, THEY DON'T WANT TO BE SET BACK AS FAR
22:55:43 AS EVERYBODY ELSE, THEY ARE ASKING FOR BUILDINGS TO BE 3 AND
22:55:46 4 STORIES TALL, IN A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S SINGLE-FAMILY,
22:55:49 ONE-STORY, ON INDICATION TWO STORY HOUSES.
22:55:55 THEY ARE ASKING -- THEY ARE TELLING US THAT THIS WILL HAVE
22:56:00 NO IMPACT.
22:56:03 I DON'T KNOW, A CHURCH FOR MORE THAN TWO AND A HALF YEARS,
22:56:08 IT'S GOING TO HAVE MORE TRAFFIC THAN THE UNITS, WITH 120
22:56:12 PARKING SPACES.
22:56:13 THAT'S A LITTLE BAFFLING TO ME.
22:56:14 I WALK THIS NEIGHBORHOOD EVERY DAY WITH MY DOG.
22:56:17 ALREADY THERE ARE ISSUES AT THE CORNER OF OSBORNE AND
22:56:22 12th STREET.
22:56:32 IF YOU WILL NOTICE HERE, THIS IS WHERE THE PROPOSED PROJECT
22:56:36 WOULD BE.
22:56:37 THIS IS 12th STREET.
22:56:39 IT DOES NOT GO STRAIGHT THROUGH.
22:56:41 THERE IS A JOG IN THERE WHICH REALLY IMPEDES TRAFFIC AND
22:56:45 CAUSES A LOT OF ACCIDENTS AT THIS POINT.
22:56:47 IT ALSO SLOWS DOWN THE TRAFFIC ON OSBORNE IS ALSO SO STRONG
22:56:52 THAT PEOPLE COME AND THEY GO INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND USE
22:56:55 OUR ROADS AS FEEDER ROADS TO GET ONTO NEBRASKA.
22:57:00 AS YOU WILL SEE HERE, THIS IS WHERE THE 3 AND 4 STORY
22:57:04 BUILDINGS WILL BE.
22:57:05 EVERYTHING AROUND IT IS SINGLE STORY OR TWO-STORY.
22:57:09 IT'S GOING TO SET A PRECEDENT.
22:57:11 THIS IS NOT ON A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE.
22:57:14 THIS IS WITHIN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
22:57:15 WHO WANTS A 4-STORY, SOMEBODY WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK ON THEIR
22:57:21 PATIO INTO EVERYBODY'S BACKYARD.
22:57:24 THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
22:57:25 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
22:57:26 >> MY NAME IS JAMES SWIFTER, 706 NORTH 10th STREET AND I
22:57:37 HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.
22:57:38 I WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN BY THANKING THE COUNCIL FOR THE
22:57:40 OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK THIS EVENING REGARDING THE PROPOSED
22:57:43 REZONING OF THE BAPTIST CHURCH.
22:57:46 I AM A RESIDENT OF TAMPA, A HOMEOWNER IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS
22:57:49 AND THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION RELATED TO THIS REZONING IS ON
22:57:51 THE BLOCK IMMEDIATELY OUTSIDE OF MY FRONT DOOR.
22:57:55 I CALL ON CITY COUNCIL TO DENY THE REQUEST FOR THIS
22:57:58 REZONING.
22:57:58 THE CONSTRUCTION PLAN IS CURRENTLY DRAFTED INCLUDES SEVERAL
22:58:01 EXTREMELY PROBLEMATIC COMPONENTS WHICH WOULD IMPACT THOSE
22:58:04 LIVING IN THE SURROUNDING BLOCKS AND ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO
22:58:06 LARGER MORE SYSTEMIC CHALLENGES THE CITY IS COMMITTED TO
22:58:09 ADDRESSING IN THE PAST.
22:58:10 IN SHORT, IF ALLOWED TO MOVE FORWARD THIS CONSTRUCTION WILL
22:58:14 HURT OUR COMMUNITY.
22:58:15 ALL THE ISSUES OF THE CONSTRUCTION CAN BE SUMMARIZED AS
22:58:19 FOLLOWS.
22:58:19 DENSITY, TRAFFIC, AND FOOTPRINT.
22:58:22 EVEN WITH THE CURRENT LEVELS OF DENSITY, SEMINOLE HEIGHTS
22:58:25 HAS SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC ISSUES AND SIDE STREETS WHICH ARE
22:58:27 CHALLENGING TO NAVIGATE ON FOOT.
22:58:29 MANY STREETS IN THE AREA INCLUDING ONE BORDERING THE
22:58:32 PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION HAVE NO SIDEWALKS OR NONETHELESS
22:58:35 HEAVILY USED FOR PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC INCLUDING LOCAL CHILDREN
22:58:38 WALKING TO AND FROM SCHOOL.
22:58:40 OSBORNE IS REGULARLY CONGESTED DURING PEAK AND NONPEAK
22:58:45 HOURS.
22:58:45 ADDING NEARLY 50 SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES IN A TWO AND A HALF
22:58:48 ACRE BLOCK WILL PUT A MORE STRAINED ON AN ALREADY POORLY
22:58:52 CLOUDY AND WINDY LOCAL ROAD STRUCTURE AND ANY TRAFFIC STUDY
22:58:56 INDICATING AN ABANDONED CHURCH HAS THE SAME IMPACT AS THE
22:59:00 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED IF NOT
22:59:03 FRAUDULENT.
22:59:04 ALSO IMPACTING THE TRAFFIC THE BUILDERS HAVE REQUESTED A
22:59:06 VARIANCE TO BUILD IN AS LITTLE AS 5 FEET FROM OSBORNE.
22:59:10 THIS MAY MAKE IT EVEN MORE DANGEROUS AS VISIBILITY WOULD BE
22:59:15 SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIRED.
22:59:17 SIMILAR REQUESTS FOR RELATED TO THIS PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
22:59:20 ARE SIMILARLY PROBLEMATIC BUT I WAS NOT ALLOWED SUFFICIENT
22:59:24 TIME TO ADDRESS EACH IN DETAIL.
22:59:26 I CHALLENGE THIS COMMITTEE TO CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHAT BE THE
22:59:28 PROPOSED REZONING AND THE CURRENTLY PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
22:59:32 WHICH WOULD RESULT FROM THE REZONING WOULD IMPACT THE
22:59:35 COMMUNITY OR, RATHER, BENEFIT A CONSTRUCTION COMPANY WHO
22:59:39 WILL LEAVE OUR COMMUNITY SHORTLY AFTER THE FINAL COAT OF
22:59:42 PAINT DRIES.
22:59:43 ALL OF THE LOCAL RESIDENTS WHO I HAVE SPOKEN WITH DO SUPPORT
22:59:46 SOME DIFFERENT USE OF THIS SPACE, BUT WE DO NOT SUPPORT
22:59:49 CHANGING THE NATURE OF OUR COMMUNITY AND THE GRANTING OF
22:59:52 EXCEPTIONS TO BUILDING CODE WHICH WOULD HARM OUR COMMUNITY.
22:59:55 TAMPA AND SEMINOLE HEIGHTS SPECIFICALLY ARE EXPERIENCING
22:59:58 DRAMATIC INCREASES OF PROPERTY VALUES, AND WHILE IT IS
23:00:02 ATTEMPTING TO TAKE THE FIRST OFFER FOR DEVELOPMENT PUT FORTH
23:00:04 BY A MOTIVATED BUILDER WE MUST CONSIDER HOW THE RESULTS OF
23:00:07 THESE DECISIONS WILL IMPACT THE COMMUNITY FOR DECADES TO
23:00:10 COME.
23:00:10 ANY CONSTRUCTION TO THE SITE SHOULD BE DONE UNDER CURRENT
23:00:14 CONSTRUCTION CODES AND CODES ESTABLISHED AND ENFORCED BY
23:00:16 THIS VERY COUNCIL.
23:00:17 ANY CONSTRUCTION TO THIS SITE SHOULD ALSO ADHERE TO CURRENT
23:00:22 ZONING RESTRICTIONS WHICH ARE TO SERVE AND PRESERVE THE
23:00:25 COMMUNITY OF RESIDENTS WHICH CALLS SEMINOLE HEIGHTS HOME.
23:00:30 WHAT WE DO WITH THE QUOTE WITH THE REPORT PREPARED BY YOUR
23:00:33 OWN STAFF THE APPLICANT COULD MEET CODE IF THE SITE WAS
23:00:38 RECONFIGURED OR SMALLER DWELLING UNITS WERE PROPOSED.
23:00:41 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
23:00:42 [BELL SOUNDS]
23:00:43 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
23:00:43 >> MY NAME IS DANIEL LEWIS.
23:00:53 I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN. I LIVE AT 1205 EAST OSBORNE AVENUE.
23:00:57 I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN TAMPA AND HAVE WATCHED THIS CITY
23:01:00 DEVELOP OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS.
23:01:02 I AM FULLY AWARE OF AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE GROWTH OF OUR CITY
23:01:05 AND WELCOME AFFORDABLE LIVING SPACES THAT WE ARE BUILDING IN
23:01:08 AND AROUND TAMPA.
23:01:10 THERE HAVE BEEN GREAT EFFORTS OVER THE YEARS TO PRESERVE THE
23:01:12 HISTORY IN TAMPA WHILE BUILDING UP AND MODERNIZING CENTRAL
23:01:17 URBAN AREAS.
23:01:17 THIS DEVELOPMENT IS INCONSISTENT WITH THIS THESE PRINCIPALS.
23:01:20 THE FOUR WAIVERS FOR REZONING GIVE NO CONSIDERATION FOR THE
23:01:23 NEIGHBORHOOD THEY WOULD LIKE TO JOIN.
23:01:25 THEY ARE ONLY SUBMITTED TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR THIS
23:01:27 DEVELOPMENT TO MOVE ALONG WITHOUT HAVING TO ADJUST IT INTO
23:01:30 THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
23:01:31 WE AS A NEIGHBORHOOD WELCOME THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS ALONG
23:01:33 NEBRASKA AVENUE AND LOW OF TO SEE THIS CHURCH EITHER THRIVE
23:01:37 OR DEVELOP INTO SOMETHING THAT FITS THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
23:01:40 BUT THIS IS NOT BEING DEVELOPED ON A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE.
23:01:43 IT IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD SURROUNDED
23:01:45 BY SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES AND BUNGALOWS.
23:01:48 BESIDES THE WAIVERS REQUESTED, AND THE INCONSISTENCIES WITH
23:01:51 THE DEVELOPMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH CURRENT ZONING, THIS
23:01:54 DEVELOPMENT WOULD GREATLY INCREASE TRAFFIC ON A ROAD THAT IS
23:01:56 ALREADY PLAGUED WITH CAR ACCIDENTS, NEAR MISSES AND ANIMAL
23:02:00 DEATHS.
23:02:00 THE TRAFFIC REPORT BY PALM TRAFFIC ENGINEERING AND PLANNING
23:02:04 CLAIM THE PROJECT WOULD DECREASE TRAFFIC IN THE AREA.
23:02:06 I HAVE LIVED N AT THE INTERSECTION OF 12th AND OSBORNE
23:02:09 FOR OVER FIVE YEARS AND IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS IS A
23:02:12 FALSIFIED OR AT BEST FLAWED STUDY.
23:02:14 THE LOCATION OF THE STUDY, THE INTERSECTION THAT THEY USE IS
23:02:19 WEST CYPRESS, EAST OF MacDILL AVENUE AS STATED ON PAGE 4
23:02:22 OF THE INTRODUCTION OF THAT REPORT.
23:02:24 ONES PROPOSED IN THE CONSTRUCTION SITE ARE NOWHERE MENTIONED
23:02:27 ON THIS REPORT.
23:02:29 THE CHURCH WILL BE BROUGHT IN ROUGHLY 20 CARS A WEEK DURING
23:02:33 ITS PEAK AND THIS PROJECT WOULD ONLY INCREASE DAILY TRAFFIC
23:02:37 SIGNIFICANTLY.
23:02:37 WITHOUT CONVERSATION TAKEN FOR THE EXISTING TRAFFIC ISSUES,
23:02:42 THIS PROJECT WOULD EXACERBATE A SITUATION UNLESS TRAFFIC
23:02:45 CALMING SOLUTIONS ARE BROUGHT TO THIS CROSS STREET.
23:02:48 BY ALLOWING THIS PROJECT TO PROCEED AS PROPOSED, IT WOULD
23:02:51 CREATE AN UNDUE BURDEN TO LEAVE THE NEIGHBORS AS WELL AS THE
23:02:57 CITY ONCE TRAFFIC ISSUES ARISE.
23:03:00 IT WOULD SET FURTHER PRECEDENT FOR MORE PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS
23:03:03 TO BREAK APART THIS SMALL RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
23:03:06 PLEASE WE ARE ASKING YOU TO DENY THE WAIVER REQUESTS.
23:03:08 IT IS CLEAR FROM THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN WAIVER REQUESTS
23:03:11 AND DISREGARDS SHOWN TO OUR CONCERNS DURING THE CIVIC
23:03:14 ASSOCIATION MEETING THAT THE DEVELOPERS AND TO QUOTE THE
23:03:19 ZONING STAFF REPORT DO NOT PROMOTE COMPATIBILITY WITH THE
23:03:21 SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD AND FURTHERMORE "DO NOT PROMOTE
23:03:26 ELEMENTS THAT WOULD ENHANCE THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THE
23:03:28 SURROUNDING COMMUNITY."
23:03:29 WE ASK YOU CITY COUNCIL TO IMPLORE THE DEVELOPERS TO FIND A
23:03:33 WAY TO ENTER OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WITHOUT CHANGING THE VERY
23:03:33 HEART OF WHAT MAKES THIS BEAUTIFUL HISTORIC BUNGALOW
23:03:40 NEIGHBORHOOD ESPECIALLY CHARMING.
23:03:42 THANK YOU.
23:03:42 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
23:03:45 >> HELLO.
23:03:51 THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
23:03:52 MY NAME IS CLAIRE AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN A FEW TIMES
23:03:56 TODAY.
23:03:59 IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE REDUNDANT SINCE I LIVE AT THE SAME
23:04:02 ADDRESS BUT I HAVE BEEN IN TAMPA FOR 30 PLUS YEARS AND IN
23:04:05 SEMINOLE HEIGHTS NOR FIVE AND A HALF.
23:04:07 I LIVE AT 1205 EAST OSBORNE DIRECTLY NEXT TO THE CHURCH
23:04:11 PARKING LOT.
23:04:11 I SUPPORT THE GROWTH AND EXPANSION AND AFFORDABLE LIVING IN
23:04:14 OUR CITY.
23:04:15 PETITION REZ 22-15 IS NOT THAT.
23:04:19 AS STATED IN THE CIVIC SOMETHINGS ASSOCIATION MEETING LAST
23:04:21 MONTH.
23:04:22 THIS DEVELOPMENT PLAN PAYS LITTLE TO NO CONSIDERATION TO
23:04:26 STAY WITHIN THE ZONING STANDARD WITH FOUR WAIVERS REQUESTED
23:04:29 FOR REZONING. IF WE ALLOW THE VERY FIRST DEVELOPER TO COME
23:04:32 IN AND THEN WHAT GOOD DOES ZONING DO?
23:04:36 THE MULTILEVEL UNIT WILL HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT SUCH AS
23:04:42 INTERFERING WITH DUE TO THE HATE AND NET INCREASE IN TRAFFIC
23:04:48 RESULTING IN MORE ACCIDENTS, ROAD KILL AND CLOSE CALLS WHICH
23:04:51 ARE REOCCURRING ISSUES.
23:04:53 WE HAVE WITNESSED AT LEAST ONE TO TWO ACCIDENTS PER YEAR
23:04:57 WHERE OSBORNE INTERSECTS WITH 12th.
23:05:02 DESPITE THE STUDY BEING DONE AT ANOTHER LOCATION THREE MILES
23:05:05 AWAY.
23:05:06 THE STUDY IS FLAWED AND OUR TRAFFIC WILL ABSOLUTELY
23:05:08 INCREASE, THEREFORE INCREASING FLOOD ISSUES.
23:05:11 WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE MORE STOP SIGNS AND SPEED BUMPS
23:05:14 PUT IN BUT BOTH HAVE BEEN DECLINED.
23:05:16 WITHOUT A SOLUTION, WITHOUT A SOLUTION IN OUR PREEXISTING
23:05:21 TRAFFIC AND NO WAY WILL THIS DEVELOPMENT BE BENEFICIAL FOR
23:05:23 THE SAFETY OF OUR CURRENT RESIDENT AND PETS, NOT TO MENTION
23:05:26 THE REDUCTION IN TREES FROM 50 BETTERS TO 19% WHEN WE NEED
23:05:30 TO BE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO DOUBLE THE AMOUNT.
23:05:33 IF WE ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN IT WILL ONLY CAUSE A DOMINO
23:05:36 AFFECT GRADUALLY BURYING THE CHARM THAT HAS BEEN SEMINOLE
23:05:41 HEIGHTS.
23:05:41 I AM HOPE THAT YOU VOTE AGAINST THIS TO PRESERVE OUR
23:05:44 CHARACTER AND INCREASE OUR SAFETY.
23:05:46 THANK YOU.
23:05:46 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
23:05:47 >> MY NAME IS CHARLES. I LIVE AT 1015 EAST CANUGA.
23:05:56 >> WHAT IS YOUR NAME AGAIN?
23:05:56 >> CHARLES STEVENS.
23:06:01 SO AT THE RISK OF BEING REDUNDANT, I THINK THESE POINTS NEED
23:06:04 TO BE DRIVEN HOME.
23:06:04 MY FAMILY LIVED IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS FOR WELL OVER 30 YEARS.
23:06:07 WE ENJOYED A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH TO LIVE, WORK
23:06:11 AND PLAY IN OUR BEAUTIFUL AND DIVERSE NEIGHBORHOOD.
23:06:13 THE NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS WALK HOME SAFELY AFTER SCHOOL EACH DAY
23:06:16 DOWN OSBORNE AND THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD FROM HILLSBOROUGH
23:06:19 HIGH SCHOOL, MIDDLETON HIGH SCHOOL, MEMORIAL MIDDLE SCHOOL,
23:06:22 AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, LET US CONSIDER THE LITTLE
23:06:25 ONES WALKING FROM EDISON ELEMENTARY.
23:06:27 MANY OF THE ELDER RESIDENTS TAKE MORNING WALKS.
23:06:30 I'M A CYCLIST AND I HAVE TO BIKE CAUTIOUSLY DOWN THESE
23:06:34 STREETS AS TRAFFIC IS ALREADY TREACHEROUS AND CONGESTED AS
23:06:37 IT IS.
23:06:38 NEBRASKA AVENUE USED TO BE A 4 LANE ROAD.
23:06:40 IT'S CHANGED TO A TWO LANE ROAD TO ACCOMMODATE CYCLE LISTS
23:06:45 AND MAKE THE AREA SAFER WHICH WAS DEFINITELY A STEP IN THE
23:06:49 RIGHT DIRECTION, ALL OF THE STREETS IN THE VICINITY ARE TWO
23:06:51 LANES NOW.
23:06:52 THE INCREASE IN TRAFFIC IF YOU PASS THIS REZONING PETITION
23:06:55 FOR THIS BUILDING WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE SAFETY OF THE
23:06:58 RESIDENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND A STEP IN THE WRONG
23:07:01 DIRECTION TOWARDS MAKING THE CITY MORE LIVABLE.
23:07:04 SECTION 27-211 OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE SEMINOLE
23:07:12 GREATER HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION, STATES IT IS THE INTENT OF THE
23:07:15 TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND OF THIS ARTICLE WHICH AIDS IN
23:07:18 IMPLEMENTING IT TO PROMOTE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, COMFORT,
23:07:21 AMENITIES, PROSPERITY, AND GENERAL WELFARE OF THE CITY, AND
23:07:25 TO PROVIDE AMONG OTHER MATTERS A WHOLESOME SERVICEABLE AND
23:07:29 ATTRACTIVE COMMUNITY TO HELP FOSTER A MORE FAVORABLE
23:07:34 ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH TO LIVE, WORK AND PLAY, TO ENSURE THAT
23:07:37 THERE IS A SEAMLESS INTEGRATION BETWEEN PRIVATE PROPERTY AND
23:07:40 THE PUBLIC REALM, TO REGULATE THE USE, CONSTRUCTION, AND
23:07:43 MAINTENANCE OF THE PUBLIC REALM INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
23:07:48 STREETS, ALLEYS, SIDEWALKS, STREETLIGHTS, TO REGULATE THE
23:07:51 USE AND DEVELOPMENT OF LAND, PROVIDE REGULATIONS WHICH ALLOW
23:07:55 AND ENCOURAGE CREATIVITY, EFFECTIVENESS AND FLEXIBILITY IN
23:07:59 THE DESIGN AND USE OF LAND WHILE PROMOTING TRAFFIC SAFETY
23:08:03 AND AVOIDING AN ENVIRONMENT THAT ENCOURAGES VISUAL BLIGHT.
23:08:08 THIS BUILDING IN ITS CURRENT PLAN FORM IS THE DIRECT
23:08:12 ANTITHESIS IN THE CURRENT ZONING.
23:08:15 THERE ARE NO BUILDINGS THAT FALL ANYWHERE IN THE AREA.
23:08:17 THIS BUILDING WOULD BE THE EMIT ME OF VISUAL BLIGHT.
23:08:21 IN ADDITION THE PROPOSED ROOFTOP THREE-STORY SITUATION WILL
23:08:25 INFRINGE ON OUR PRIVACY AS NEW TENANTS WILL BE ABLE TO BE
23:08:29 LOOK DOWN INTO OUR YARDS AND HOUSES.
23:08:30 THE APPROACHED BUILDING IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE LANDSCAPE
23:08:34 AND AESTHETICS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
23:08:35 IT DOES NOT BELONG THERE.
23:08:37 ALSO, AS I UNDERSTAND, NO AFFORDABLE HOUSING WILL BE
23:08:40 INCLUDED IN THESE UNITS.
23:08:41 THEY WILL START AT 600,000.
23:08:43 THIS WILL BRING A NEW ELEMENT INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT
23:08:46 WILL CATALYZE TRANSPORTATION AND BE A DEATH KNELL FOR THE
23:08:51 CULTURAL MAKEUP WE SO CHERISH IN HISTORICAL SEMINOLE
23:08:54 HEIGHTS.
23:08:55 FOR THESE REASONS I ASK AND ADMONISH YOU TO NOT APPROVE THIS
23:08:58 REZONING PETITION.
23:09:00 THANK YOU.
23:09:00 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
23:09:02 >> I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.
23:09:08 RON POWELL, 1008 EAST CURTIS STREET.
23:09:13 I AM A LITTLE MORE THAN PERSONAL BECAUSE THIS BUTTS UP
23:09:16 DIRECTLY TO MY PROPERTY.
23:09:17 I OWN FROM CURTIS TO OSBORNE.
23:09:20 I BOUGHT IN THE 1995 FOR $60,000.
23:09:26 A RUN DOWN BUNGALOW AND BROUGHT IT UP.
23:09:29 BROUGHT THE NEIGHBORHOOD UP.
23:09:30 I THOUGHT DRUG DEALERS.
23:09:32 I FOUGHT PROSTITUTES.
23:09:34 I HAVE HAD MY CAR SHOT.
23:09:35 I BATTLED A SERIAL KILLER.
23:09:38 THIS IS THE WORST THING THAT'S HAPPENED TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD,
23:09:42 OKAY?
23:09:44 YOU ARE CUTTING DOWN 200-YEAR-OLD OAKS SO THEY CAN BUILD A
23:09:50 BUILDING.
23:09:51 MY VIEW WILL CHANGE FROM BEAUTIFUL OAKS TO A 3-STORY
23:09:55 BUILDING.
23:09:58 FIVE FEET OFF MY PROPERTY LINE.
23:10:02 EVERYBODY HERE KNOWS IT.
23:10:03 EVERYONE HERE SEES IT.
23:10:05 EVERYONE HERE GETS IT.
23:10:07 THERE'S NO SIDEWALKS.
23:10:07 THERE'S NO CURBS.
23:10:08 THERE'S BEEN NOTHING PUT IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD UNTIL THE
23:10:11 MAYOR CAME ALONG WITH A SERIAL KILLER AND DECIDED TO PUT
23:10:15 SOME STREETLIGHTS UP.
23:10:16 NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN, CARPET BAGGERS, CARPET BAGGERS, COME
23:10:21 IN, PURCHASE THIS LAND FOR PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR AND GET
23:10:25 MAXIMUM OUT.
23:10:27 THEY CAN SAVE EVERY TREE ON THAT PROPERTY, SHOULD, COULD,
23:10:32 BUT IT WOULDN'T BE THE BOTTOM LINE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR,
23:10:34 OKAY?
23:10:35 SO YOU LOOK ALL AROUND.
23:10:38 I INVITE EVERY ONE OF YOU TO COME DOWN.
23:10:40 CHARLEY, I KNOW YOU.
23:10:42 YOU HAVE ATTENDED MEETINGS AT THAT CHURCH.
23:10:45 THE CHURCH HAS BEEN DILAPIDATED FOR TEN YEARS.
23:10:48 IT WAS ALLOWED TO GO ON AND ON.
23:10:51 NOBODY PUT ANY MONEY INTO IT.
23:10:53 NOBODY GIVE ANYTHING TO IT.
23:10:56 AND NOW JUST COMING IN, CHOPPING IT ALL UP.
23:11:02 AND IN THREE YEARS, THREE YEARS, I WITNESSED 28 TREES CUT
23:11:08 DOWN IN A TWO-BLOCK AREA, IN A TWO-BLOCK AREA.
23:11:12 LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT.
23:11:13 THE CHURCH, WHEN IT OPERATED, I WAS THERE WHEN IT OPERATED,
23:11:17 HAD TWO OVERFLOW LOTS, AND THE BACK LOT THAT I BOUGHT WAS
23:11:21 USED EVERY SUNDAY.
23:11:24 THERE WAS A FUNCTIONING SCHOOL THERE.
23:11:28 ALL GONE.
23:11:29 AND NOW WE ARE GOING TO REPLACE IT WITH A STUCCO CRACKER
23:11:33 BOX.
23:11:34 AND IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUNGALOW NEIGHBORHOOD.
23:11:39 HYDE PARK.
23:11:39 TAMPA HEIGHTS.
23:11:42 SEMINOLE HEIGHTS.
23:11:42 SOUTHEAST SEMINOLE HEIGHTS.
23:11:46 IT'S ALL HAPPENING TO US HERE.
23:11:47 AND I'M ALL FOR DEVELOPMENT.
23:11:49 WE NEED HOUSING.
23:11:52 NOT ALL OF IT IS GOING TO BE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
23:11:56 BUT THERE IS NO WAY THAT THIS PROJECT FITS THIS NEIGHBORHOOD
23:12:01 ANYWAY, SHAPE OR FORM.
23:12:02 AND LIKE I SAY, I AM A LITTLE PASSIONATE ABOUT IT BECAUSE I
23:12:05 HAVE INVESTED 26 YEARS, AND MY WIFE AND ME, THREE KID,
23:12:12 HILLSBOROUGH HIGH SCHOOL, MIDDLETON, AND TAMPA BAY TECH, ALL
23:12:18 ATTENDED ALL OF THOSE SCHOOLS.
23:12:20 AND I ASK YOU TO DENY THIS.
23:12:22 DENY IT.
23:12:23 THANK YOU.
23:12:24 [BELL SOUNDS]
23:12:25 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, SIR.
23:12:26 THANK YOU.
23:12:26 >> I'M ALSO A WRITER. I WALK.
23:12:36 I RIDE.
23:12:37 I KNOW MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
23:12:42 I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I HEARD LAST WEEK THAT THEY SAID THAT
23:12:49 THERE ARE MINISTERS CAME AROUND FROM THE CHURCH TO MEET
23:12:55 PEOPLE IN THE RESIDENCE WHO GAVE THEM THEIR OKAY.
23:13:10 MY SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND I HAVE BEEN BLESSED, RETIRED.
23:13:17 I WRITE AT HOME.
23:13:18 IF I AM NOT HOME, MY NEIGHBORS AS I RETURN, NO ONE, NO ONE
23:13:28 CAME TO ME AT MY HOME OR LEAVE A NOTE AND SAY, JOHN, TOM,
23:13:38 NONE WAS AT THE HOME.
23:13:41 THEY SAY THEY GO AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND, YOU KNOW, AND
23:13:47 WHEN I HEARD OF SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO THEY SAID THESE
23:13:52 THINGS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE, MAN OF GOD, PEOPLE OF GOD, JUST
23:13:58 FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY, I START HERE, WE STARTED AT A TIME
23:14:09 TODAY AND I HEARD DIFFERENT THINGS ABOUT TRYING TO CHANGE
23:14:12 NEIGHBORHOODS BECAUSE OF THE LOVE OF MONEY.
23:14:14 BUT THIS ONE, I AM NOT TRYING TO PRETEND TO SWAY YOU.
23:14:23 THIS IS ONE BEYOND ALL THAT YOU HAVE HEARD THIS MORNING.
23:14:27 I AM LIVING IN THE AREA, 23 YEARS NOW.
23:14:34 I AM A PASTOR TEACHER.
23:14:36 FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, I WROTE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF
23:14:40 KEYS.
23:14:42 MANY OF YOU KNOW THEM AT LITERATURE, OR RECORDING FOR THE
23:14:49 KINGDOM, GOD'S KINGDOM.
23:14:52 THE KINGDOM OF LOVE, IN JESUS NAME, AND BE A RIGHTEOUS
23:15:03 GODLY, LOVING YOUR BROTHERS, LOVING YOUR SISTERS, DOING FOR
23:15:06 OTHERS, HELP OTHERS.
23:15:08 AND WHEN I HEARD THAT THEY, FOR INSTANCE, SPOKE OF THE
23:15:15 BUILDING OF THE CHURCH AS TWO TIME, THERE WAS A MAN THERE
23:15:20 THAT DO THE CLEANING OF THE YARD AND YARD WORK AND THERE WAS
23:15:24 ONE WHO WAS A CARPENTER, ELECTRICIAN OR WHATEVER, AND THEN
23:15:28 SUDDENLY WE SAW A SIGN ON EVERY DOOR TELLING YOU TO NOT
23:15:32 ENTER, ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT THEY ARE SAYING THAT THEY
23:15:39 WENT AROUND AND SPEAK TO NEIGHBORS, AND NEIGHBORS TOLD THEM
23:15:44 IT'S OKAY TO DO THIS, THAT'S NOT TRUE.
23:15:47 THAT'S NOT TRUE.
23:15:51 A NEIGHBORHOOD WITHOUT CHANGE, LIKE OTHERS HAVE SAID, SPEAK
23:15:57 THE ELDERLY THAT GOES FOR THEIR WALK, PEOPLE WITH THEIR
23:16:02 DOGS, GO ACROSS THE STREET, NOW THEY GET KILLED BECAUSE THE
23:16:11 STREET HAS BACKUP SO MUCH NOW, AND THEREFORE WHEN THE ONE
23:16:19 LIGHT AT OSBORNE, AND WHEN YOU ARE CUTTING 16 TREES --
23:16:23 [BELL SOUNDS]
23:16:24 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, SIR.
23:16:25 THANK YOU.
23:16:25 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MR. HAGAN, GIVE US ONE SECOND, PLEASE.
23:16:44 >> TAKE YOUR TIME.
23:16:47 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MR. HAGAN.
23:17:18 >> MY NAME IS NATHAN HAGAN.
23:17:22 I AM HEARING AN IMPORTANT THEME IN THE COMMENTS ABOUT THIS
23:17:26 BEING A HARBINGER OF THINGS TO COME.
23:17:29 AND THE TRUTH IS, IT IS IF WE DON'T CHANGE WHAT'S GOING ON
23:17:33 IN OUR CITY.
23:17:37 I WOULD LIKE TO COME AND SAY YES TO HOUSING, AND I TELL
23:17:41 MYSELF, WHEN THE PROJECT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN EAST TAMPA OR
23:17:45 WEST TAMPA, THE LAST FEW PLACES WE HAD AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN
23:17:49 OUR CITY WAS NATURAL OCCURRING, I TELL MYSELF, JUST DON'T
23:17:53 SAY ANYTHING.
23:17:58 SO I THINK THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO SAY.
23:18:00 AND PART OF IT IS RELATING TO, AGAIN GOING BACK TO IF WE ARE
23:18:05 NOT DOING HOUSING ELSEWHERE, WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR COMP PLAN,
23:18:09 OUR COMP PLAN SAYS OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO BUILD ENOUGH HOUSING,
23:18:13 WE WANT OUR COMMUNITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO IT AND REFUSING TO DO
23:18:16 IT IN PLACES LIKE SOUTH TAMPA OR NORTH HYDE PARK WHERE I
23:18:19 LIVE, AND ARMORY GARDENS AND BEACH PARK, PLACES THAT ARE
23:18:25 VERY DESIRABLE TO HAVE GREAT INFRASTRUCTURE THAT ALREADY
23:18:28 DON'T HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR ANYBODY, WHEN WE DON'T DO
23:18:30 THAT, WE HAVE SITUATIONS LIKE THIS WHERE A DEVELOPER GOES
23:18:33 INTO EAST TAMPA AND THEY BUY LAND THAT'S VERY CHEAP, AND I
23:18:37 AM VERY HAPPY TO SEE THERE ARE NEIGHBORS THAT CAME AND SPOKE
23:18:40 BECAUSE A LOT OF NEIGHBORHOODS DON'T HAVE THE KIND OF
23:18:42 REPRESENTATION THAT NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE WE SAW EARLIER HAVE
23:18:46 WHERE THERE ARE NO AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR HOPE FOR AFFORDABLE
23:18:49 HOUSING.
23:18:50 SO I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT, YOU KNOW, IF WE CAN'T BUILD
23:18:53 TOWNHOMES, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE CAN BUILD.
23:18:56 AND THIS DOESN'T APPLY HERE OR ELSEWHERE BUT WHEN WE THINK
23:19:01 ABOUT HOW IT FITS INTO OUR GOALS, IF WE CAN'T BUILD
23:19:04 TOWNHOMES HERE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE WE CAN BUILD BESIDES
23:19:07 A BUNCH OF SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
23:19:09 YOU KNOW, WE ARE IN THIS CRISIS BECAUSE WE ARE NOT BUILDING
23:19:13 ENOUGH HOMES.
23:19:13 SO IF THE ALTERNATIVE IS SIX HOMES, I DON'T KNOW HOW IT'S
23:19:17 COMPLYING WITH THE COMP PLAN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE
23:19:19 ALTERNATIVE.
23:19:21 BUT IF THE ISSUE IS THERE'S TOO MANY HOMES HERE, WE ARE IN A
23:19:24 HOUSING CRISIS BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ENOUGH HOMES, THAT'S
23:19:27 VERY DIFFICULT.
23:19:27 AND I HATE THAT WE ARE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION HERE.
23:19:29 WE SHOULD BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION SOMEWHERE ELSE.
23:19:34 SO PART OF IT HAS TO DO WITH A RECURRING ISSUE WHERE OUR
23:19:40 CODE DOESN'T MATCH WITH OUR VALUES.
23:19:41 WE ARE DOING A PD FOR EVERYTHING.
23:19:43 NOBODY IS HAPPY WITH IT.
23:19:45 THIS DEVELOPMENT IS HAPPENING THE WAY IT IS BECAUSE OUR LAND
23:19:48 DEVELOPMENT CODE DOES NOT DO WHAT THE NEIGHBORS WANT IT TO
23:19:52 DO.
23:19:52 EVEN IF THEY WERE ALLOWING OR INTERESTED IN THE DENSITY THAT
23:19:55 THIS PROVIDES, I DON'T KNOW THE CONFIGURATION THAT LAND
23:19:58 DEVELOPMENT CODE ALLOWS.
23:19:59 SO I'LL SAY THAT AND I WILL FINISH OFF BY SAYING WE AREN'T
23:20:04 GOING TO HAVE A PERFECT CODE IN THE REST OF YOUR TERMS HERE,
23:20:06 OR MY LIFETIME.
23:20:08 THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A PERFECT CODE.
23:20:10 SO IF WE ARE NOT GOING TO BUILD ANY HOUSING ANYWHERE, UNTIL
23:20:13 WE HAVE A PERFECT CODE, THIS CRISIS IS ONLY GOING TO GET A
23:20:17 LOT WORSE AND NEIGHBORHOOD ARE GOING TO GENTRIFY WHETHER WE
23:20:20 LIKE IT OR NOBODY WITH SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES AT A MILLION
23:20:23 DOLLARS EACH.
23:20:24 [BELL SOUNDS]
23:20:25 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
23:20:26 >> I'M JENNIFER McSHANIS. I LIVE AT 1107 EAST CHELSEA,
23:20:34 JOKINGLY CALL IT CHELSEA HIGHWAY, APPROXIMATELY 3 BLOCKS
23:20:38 SOUTH OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.
23:20:42 MY PRIMARY -- I MEAN, I AM AGAINST THIS PROJECT, BUT I
23:20:47 BELIEVE WE NEED A PROJECT AS IN HOUSING AT THAT LOCATION.
23:20:51 I JUST THINK 48 UNITS OVER I THINK 150 PARKING SPACES IN
23:20:59 THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS JUST ABSURD.
23:21:02 WE JUST HEARD, AND I HEARD THE WHOLE THING WITH THE HARBOR
23:21:05 ISLAND PEOPLE, YOU KNOW.
23:21:09 A HUGE HOTEL?
23:21:10 WELL, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS THAT HUGE, BEING PLACED ON A
23:21:14 CORNER OF KNIGHT'S PARKWAY.
23:21:19 THIS IS REALLY KIND OF LIKE THE SAME THING EXCEPT IT'S SO
23:21:24 MUCH WORSE.
23:21:27 THESE ARE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
23:21:30 AND THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT 48 UNITS BEING PLOPPED DOWN ON A
23:21:36 SMALL TWO-LANE ROAD, OSBORNE.
23:21:38 OSBORNE IS TINY, AND IT IS SO CONGESTED.
23:21:43 12th STREET IS A PATH THROUGH BETWEEN OSBORNE AND MLK.
23:21:49 AND PEOPLE RACE THROUGH THERE.
23:21:51 THERE'S TWO STOP SIGNS ON THE WAY FROM OSBORNE TO MLK.
23:21:56 AND IT'S REALLY NOT VERY GOOD.
23:21:58 AND THEN WE HAVE GOT NEBRASKA, AND THAT IS JUST BACKED UP AS
23:22:02 WELL.
23:22:03 THE WHOLE PLACE IS BACKED UP.
23:22:05 THEY USE CHELSEA TO CUT THROUGH TO GET UNDER 275 TO GET OVER
23:22:10 TO FLORIDA.
23:22:11 AND WE HAVE NO SPEED BUMPS.
23:22:14 WE BARELY HAVE -- WE HAVE A FEW STOP SIGNS.
23:22:17 AND PEOPLE ARE JUST RACING THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND JUST
23:22:21 ADDING 100 MORE CARS TO THE CORNER OF 12th and Osborne.
23:22:27 It's going to be -- we don't have the roads for it.
23:22:31 We don't have the roads. If this was on Nebraska, I think
23:22:38 like 12 townhouses on Nebraska going for $650,000 each on
23:22:43 the corner of Nebraska and MLK.
23:22:45 That's one thing.
23:22:46 And I can't believe how much they are going for.
23:22:51 On Florida, we have, I think, I don't know, ten stories,
23:22:56 maybe eight stories, big apartment complex built next to the
23:23:03 front porch, the restaurant.
23:23:04 THAT'S FLORIDA AVENUE.
23:23:05 THAT'S NEBRASKA AVENUE.
23:23:07 WHATEVER THEY ARE DOING ON HILLSBOROUGH.
23:23:08 BUT THIS IS A LITTLE TINY NEIGHBORHOOD.
23:23:12 THIS SPOT IS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
23:23:14 WE JUST CANNOT -- IT'S NOT THE RIGHT PLACE FOR IT.
23:23:19 MAYBE TEN TOWNHOUSES.
23:23:22 MAYBE TEN TOWNHOUSES.
23:23:27 BUT 48 UNITS IS TOO MUCH.
23:23:29 IT'S WAY BEYOND WHAT THIS NEIGHBORHOOD CAN HANDLE.
23:23:31 [BELL SOUNDS]
23:23:33 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
23:23:34 >> MY NAME IS CARROLL ANN BENNETT, LIFE-LONG RESIDENT OF
23:23:42 TAMPA.
23:23:43 I WAS ACTUALLY HORRIFIED THAT THEY WERE GOING TO CUT DOWN
23:23:46 80% OF THE TREES.
23:23:47 WE TALKED ABOUT THE MAN TALK ABOUT TREES, 100, 200 YEARS
23:23:51 OLD, THEY ARE GOING TO CUT THEM DOWN.
23:23:53 I UNDERSTAND WE NEED HOUSING.
23:23:55 I UNDERSTAND WE NEED AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
23:23:57 BUT THE STAFF HAS THE ANSWER RIGHT THERE IN THE STAFF
23:23:59 REPORT.
23:24:01 MAKE THE UNITS SMALLER.
23:24:03 ADHERE TO THE CODE.
23:24:05 YOU DO THAT, THE UNITS ARE SMALLER, THEY ARE MORE
23:24:09 AFFORDABLE.
23:24:11 THEY HAVE THE SAME DENSITY BUT THEY COST LESS.
23:24:14 YOU SAVE THE TREES.
23:24:15 THE ANSWER IS TO FOLLOW THE CODE.
23:24:17 I UNDERSTAND THAT IT WILL HAVE IMPACT ON THE PROFITABILITY
23:24:23 OF THIS VENTURE.
23:24:24 BUT THAT IS NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT IS BEST FOR THIS
23:24:29 CITY, AND THIS PLANET.
23:24:32 SAVE THE TREES.
23:24:34 MAKE THE UNITS SMALLER.
23:24:35 MAKE THEM MORE AFFORDABLE.
23:24:37 DO WHAT THE STAFF SAID.
23:24:40 PROBLEM SOLVED.
23:24:41 THANK YOU.
23:24:41 >>JOSEPH CITRO: DO WE HAVE ANYONE ONLINE?
23:24:50 >>THE CLERK: WE HAVE DANA STOLEWELL AND MARK BERNARD BUT IT
23:24:56 SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE ON CELL PHONE LINES.
23:25:04 I BELIEVE SO.
23:25:04 >> THIS IS BERNARD.
23:25:07 ARE YOU THERE?
23:25:08 >>JOSEPH CITRO: WHO WAS THAT?
23:25:16 MR. BERNARD?
23:25:19 IS THAT YOU?
23:25:20 ARE YOU ON A CELL PHONE OR ON YOUR COMPUTER?
23:25:23 >> I AM ON A CELL PHONE AND I APOLOGIZE.
23:25:25 I MEANT TO BE THERE IN PERSON AND I AM TRAVELING FOR WORK
23:25:29 AND I WAS UP UNTIL 10:00 WHERE THE LOCATION I HAD WI-FI
23:25:35 CLOSED DOWN SO I AM ON MY CELL PHONE.
23:25:37 I CAN SEE YOU.
23:25:39 AND IF YOU ALLOW ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT, I WOULD VERY
23:25:42 MUCH LIKE TO SPEAK.
23:25:44 >>JOSEPH CITRO: CAN WE SEE YOU PHYSICALLY ON YOUR CELL
23:25:46 PHONE?
23:25:47 >> I MEAN, THE CELL PHONE IS CAPABLE OF DOING THAT.
23:25:50 I AM NOT SURE IF THIS ALLOWS ME TO DO THAT.
23:25:53 >>JOSEPH CITRO: NO, SIR.
23:25:54 AND UNLESS WE SEE YOU, WE CANNOT TAKE YOUR COMMENTS.
23:25:58 I APOLOGIZE.
23:25:59 >>THE CLERK: AND DANA STOLEWELL.
23:26:07 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MS. STOLEWELL, ARE YOU THERE
23:26:10 ARE YOU ON YOUR CELL PHONE OR ON YOUR COMPUTER?
23:26:16 MS. STOLEWELL?
23:26:17 >> YES, SIR, I AM HERE.
23:26:20 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ARE YOU ON YOUR COMPUTER OR ON YOUR CELL
23:26:23 PHONE?
23:26:24 >> ON THE CELL PHONE.
23:26:27 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I AM SORRY, WE CANNOT TAKE YOUR COMMENTS.
23:26:31 WE NEED TO SEE YOU PHYSICALLY.
23:26:36 IS THERE ANYONE ELSE ONLINE?
23:26:39 >>THE CLERK: THERE ARE TWO OTHER REGISTERED SPEAKERS BUT
23:26:41 THEY DIDN'T LOG ON.
23:26:42 >>JOSEPH CITRO: IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WANTS TO GIVE
23:26:44 PUBLIC COMMENT?
23:26:45 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I WANT TO ASK STAFF A QUESTION.
23:27:02 MS. BARNES?
23:27:06 TWO QUESTIONS FOR YOU.
23:27:07 I KNOW EAST TAMPA HAS AN OVERLAY.
23:27:09 I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH EAST TAMPA
23:27:13 OVERLAY.
23:27:14 I THOUGHT CRITERIA WOULD BE ANY DEVELOPMENT THE CRA MANAGER
23:27:18 MUST BE NOTIFIED AND BRING IT TO THE CAC.
23:27:23 >>ANNIE BARNES: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
23:27:39 SO I JUST CONFIRMED, IT IS NOT LOCATED WITHIN AN OVERLAY.
23:27:42 >>ORLANDO GUDES: IT'S NOT?
23:27:45 OKAY.
23:27:45 >>ANNIE BARNES: NO.
23:27:47 >>ORLANDO GUDES: WITHIN EAST TAMPA CRA, I THOUGHT THE CRA
23:27:51 MANAGER IS NOTIFIED AND SEND IT TO THE CAC OF EAST TAMPA.
23:27:56 >>ANNIE BARNES: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
23:27:59 SO THIS IS NOT LOCATED WITHIN AN OVERLAY DISTRICT OR THE
23:28:02 EAST TAMPA OVERLAY.
23:28:07 >>DAVID MECHANIK: IT'S IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS.
23:28:08 >>ORLANDO GUDES: NO, IT'S IN EAST TAMPA AND THAT'S IN THE
23:28:10 EAST TAMPA CRA.
23:28:11 THAT'S WHAT I WAS ASKING.
23:28:12 BECAUSE WHEN I SAT ON THERE THAT BOARD I THOUGHT THERE WAS A
23:28:15 CRITERIA ANY DEVELOPMENT IN EAST TAMPA CRA, THE EAST TAMPA
23:28:19 MANAGER IS NOTIFIED TO LET THE CAC KNOW ABOUT THAT.
23:28:23 SO IF I AM INCORRECT, I THOUGHT THAT WAS A POLICY.
23:28:26 >>ANNIE BARNES: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
23:28:30 SO I DO NOT SEE THAT AT THE LAYER, BUT I CAN SEARCH ONLINE
23:28:37 GIF MAP.
23:28:38 I WOULD BE HAPPY TO LOOK AT ACCELA BRIEFLY, BUT I AM UNAWARE
23:28:46 OF THAT POLICY.
23:28:47 SO LET ME LOOK AT ACCELA AND SEE IF THERE WERE ANY NOTES
23:28:51 UPDATED.
23:28:52 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I WON'T TROUBLE YOU WITH THAT TONIGHT BUT
23:28:55 I WILL ASK MR. McCRAY FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
23:28:57 I THOUGHT THAT WAS.
23:28:58 BUT THANK YOU ANYWAY.
23:28:59 >>ANNIE BARNES: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
23:29:03 YES, I WILL VERIFY IN THE FUTURE ABOUT THAT.
23:29:10 >>DAVID MECHANIK: DAVID MECHANIK, MR. CHAIRMAN.
23:29:11 WE WILL TRY TO BE BRIEF.
23:29:14 I AM GOING TO ASK MR. YATES TO COME UP IN A MINUTE TO
23:29:17 ADDRESS THE TRANSPORTATION COMMENTS.
23:29:20 I WOULD LIKE TO READ TO YOU A SENTENCE OUT OF THE PLANNING
23:29:24 COMMISSION STAFF REPORT.
23:29:27 THE PD IS SENSITIVE TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD,
23:29:31 PROVIDING A RANGE OF HOUSING TYPES, THAT ARE COMPATIBLE WITH
23:29:36 THE SURROUNDING USES.
23:29:38 THE PD IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC, NEW
23:29:44 SIDEWALKS WITHIN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY, AND INTERNAL SIDEWALKS
23:29:47 THAT CONNECT FRONT DOORS TO SIDEWALKS AT THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
23:29:52 THIS IS COMING FROM YOUR PROFESSIONAL STAFF, AND IT'S QUITE
23:29:56 A DIFFERENT STORY THAN WHAT YOU HAVE HEARD FROM THE
23:30:00 NEIGHBORHOOD THIS EVENING.
23:30:04 LET ME ADDRESS A FEW MISCONCEPTIONS VERY QUICKLY.
23:30:13 THE BUILDINGS ARE NOT FOUR STORIES.
23:30:15 THEY ARE 35 FEET.
23:30:17 AND EVERY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING IN THE CITY IS ALLOWED TO
23:30:22 BUILD TO 35 FEET.
23:30:25 THEY ARE NOT EXCEEDING ANY RESIDENTIAL STANDARDS OF THE
23:30:28 CITY.
23:30:30 WE ARE BUILDING SIDEWALKS PER THE CODE.
23:30:36 AS I INDICATED BEFORE, THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS PLAN, WE HAVE
23:30:43 BEEN DETERMINED TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS
23:30:47 PLAN.
23:30:48 FINALLY, BEFORE I ASK MICHAEL, I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT
23:30:52 THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ALLOWS FOR US TO BUILD 48 UNITS
23:30:58 ON THIS PROPERTY.
23:31:00 IF THERE IS SOMETHING OBJECTIONABLE ABOUT THIS PROJECT,
23:31:05 PEOPLE OUGHT TO BE LOOKING AT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
23:31:09 BUT IN FACT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS ENCOURAGING URBAN
23:31:13 IN-FILL DEVELOPMENT, AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE
23:31:17 PROPOSING.
23:31:17 >> MICHAEL YATES.
23:31:25 I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
23:31:26 I JUST QUANTITY TO GO OVER THE COMMENTS ON TRAFFIC.
23:31:28 AGAIN, WE DID OUR TRAFFIC STUDY.
23:31:30 WE USED ITE TRIP GENERATION, 11th EDITION FOR THE
23:31:35 COMPARISON BETWEEN THE CHURCH AND THE TOWN HOME
23:31:38 DEVELOPMENTS.
23:31:40 THE CHURCH ASSUMES THAT IT IS A FULLY FUNCTIONING OPERATING
23:31:44 CHURCH, AS THE EXISTING USE WHICH IS WHAT THE EXISTING USE
23:31:47 IS THERE.
23:31:49 AND SO THAT ACTUALLY DOES SHOW THAT THERE IS A NET REDUCTION
23:31:54 IN DAILY TRIPS, AND THE TRIPS ARE AWASH, AND THE A.M. PEAK
23:32:00 HOUR TRIPS ARE FIVE DIFFERENT.
23:32:03 ALSO, AGAIN, THE ROADWAY, OSBORNE, IS A COLLECT HE SHALL
23:32:07 ROADWAY, AND OPERATES AT A LEVEL OF SERVICE C WITH THE
23:32:13 VOLUME CAPACITY OF .41.
23:32:16 SO THERE IS 60% OF THE CAPACITY OF THE ROADWAY STILL
23:32:20 AVAILABLE.
23:32:22 AND WITH THE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC, EVEN IF YOU ASSUME ALL THE
23:32:24 ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC ON THE ROADWAY, IT WILL NOT CAUSE THE
23:32:28 LEVEL OF SERVICE TO CHANGE.
23:32:30 BEYOND THE C THAT IT IS.
23:32:32 SO EVERYTHING WORKS AT THE LEVEL OF SERVICE.
23:32:36 ALL THE ROADS CAN HANDLE THE TRAFFIC ON THE ADJACENT
23:32:39 ROADWAYS.
23:32:40 >>JOSEPH CITRO: COUNCILMAN GUDES.
23:32:42 >>ORLANDO GUDES: AGAIN, I BELIEVE IN YOUR STUDY, BUT THE
23:32:51 TIMES OF THAT TRAFFIC ON OSBORNE IS A DIFFERENT STORY.
23:32:56 THE BACKUP IN THE MORNING, BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE SCHOOL
23:33:00 TRAFFIC, YOU HAVE CHILDREN WALKING, SO YOU HAVE THAT MORNING
23:33:04 TRAFFIC, THAT MIDDAY TRAFFIC, AND I WILL SAY THAT EVENING
23:33:09 TRAFFIC.
23:33:09 SO I BELIEVE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING YOUR STUDY IS ONE THING,
23:33:13 BUT THE ACTUALITY OF WHAT'S HAPPENING OUT THERE WHEN YOU
23:33:16 VISUALLY SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING, IT'S A TOTAL DIFFERENT STORY.
23:33:19 THAT'S WHY THE PEOPLE ARE HERE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT.
23:33:22 SO AGAIN, I TRAVEL THAT VERY FREQUENT SO I AM FAMILIAR WITH
23:33:25 THAT OSBORNE, AND I BELIEVE THAT CORNER, IT'S OFF.
23:33:31 SO I UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE ACCIDENTS, BECAUSE
23:33:35 YOU HAVE THE EMPTY LOT WHICH IS ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER WITH
23:33:41 THAT BIG OL' TREE THERE.
23:33:44 SO I UNDERSTAND IT PERFECTLY.
23:33:45 SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT CORNER, AND THAT TRAFFIC PATTERN, I
23:33:52 THINK IT IS A LITTLE CONCERNING.
23:33:55 >> AND AGAIN, THE LEVEL OF SERVICE REPORT LOOKS AT TWO
23:33:58 THINGS.
23:33:58 IT LOOKS AT THE DAILY VOLUMES, AND THE P.M. PEAK HOURS IS
23:34:04 WHAT IT LOOKS AT.
23:34:05 WHEN YOU LOOK AT BOTH OF THOSE, IT OPERATES AT ACCEPTABLE
23:34:08 LEVEL OF SERVICE.
23:34:08 >>MARTIN SHELBY: YES, MR. CHAIRMAN, THANK YOU.
23:34:14 MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY.
23:34:15 AGAIN, A REMINDER, COUNCIL, THAT YOU MAY HAVE FAMILIARITY
23:34:20 WITH THE AREA, BUT IT IS NOT APPROPRIATE TO PUT THAT INTO
23:34:25 EVIDENCE AS OPPOSED TO TAKING WHAT YOU HAVE HEARD FROM THE
23:34:28 PUBLIC AND USING THAT TO BE ABLE TO FORMULATE YOUR DECISION.
23:34:32 SO I AM GOING TO ASK COUNCIL TO BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT ACCEPTING
23:34:37 WHAT COUNCIL MEMBERS SAY FROM THE DAIS RELATIVE TO THE AREA.
23:34:41 IT IS BETTER TO ELICIT THAT KIND OF COMMENT FROM THE PEOPLE
23:34:44 IN THE AUDIENCE WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY HEARD, OR TO ASK
23:34:47 QUESTIONS ABOUT IT SO YOU CAN GET THOSE FACTS INTO EVIDENCE
23:34:52 FROM THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TESTIFYING.
23:34:54 THANK YOU.
23:35:01 >>DAVID MECHANIK: WE HAVE NOTHING ELSE.
23:35:02 WE ARE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
23:35:03 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
23:35:13 MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO, SECOND BY
23:35:16 COUNCILMAN VIERA.
23:35:18 ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
23:35:21 WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL?
23:35:22 >>LYNN HURTAK: I CAN MAKE A MOTION.
23:35:28 SEE WHERE IT GOES.
23:35:31 I MOVE TO DENY REZ 20-15 FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1102
23:35:38 EAST CURTIS STREET AND 1009, 1011 AND 1008 EAST OSBORNE
23:35:44 AVENUE DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE APPLICANT TO MEET ITS
23:35:47 BURDEN OF PROOF TO PROVIDE COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL
23:35:49 EVIDENCE OF DEVELOPMENT AS CONDITIONS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN
23:35:53 IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND CITY CODE AND
23:35:57 THE APPLICANT'S FAILURE TO MEET ITS BURDEN OF PROOF WITH
23:36:00 RESPECT TO THE REQUESTED WAIVERS.
23:36:01 I ALSO ADOPT THE FINDINGS AND REASONINGS OF THE CITY STAFF
23:36:04 REPORT WHICH SUMMARIZES THE ADVERSE IMPACTS ANTICIPATED BY
23:36:08 THE REQUESTED WAIVERS, INCLUDING FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH LAND
23:36:13 DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION 27-136, SUCH AS THE PROPOSED
23:36:23 DEVELOPMENT SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN DOES NOT PROMOTE OR
23:36:25 ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS APPROPRIATE IN LOCATION,
23:36:28 CHARACTER AND COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING
23:36:31 NEIGHBORHOOD.
23:36:32 IN ADDITION THE WAIVERS, THE FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SECTION
23:36:35 27-139 SUBSECTION 4 SUCH AS THE NEED OR DESIRE FOR WAIVERS
23:36:43 NECESSARILY SUPPORTS THE FACTS THAT THE PROPOSED INTENSITY
23:36:46 OF DEVELOPMENT IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THIS SITE AND DOES NOT
23:36:49 COMPLY WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
23:36:52 THE APPLICANT DID NOT PROVIDE THE EVIDENCE THAT THE PROPOSED
23:36:55 DESIGN IS UNIQUE IN ORDER TO JUSTIFY THE WAIVERS, AND THE
23:36:59 APPLICANT DID NOT PROVIDE EVIDENCE THAT THE REQUESTED
23:37:01 WAIVERS WILL NOT SUBSTANTIALLY INTERFERE WITH OR INJURE THE
23:37:05 RIGHTS OF OTHERS WHOSE PROPERTY WOULD BE AFFECTED BY THE
23:37:08 WAIVERS.
23:37:08 >> SECOND.
23:37:10 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MOTION MADE BY COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK,
23:37:14 SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
23:37:15 ANY DISCUSSION?
23:37:18 ROLL CALL VOTE.
23:37:19 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.

23:37:32 [ APPLAUSE ]
23:37:39 >>JOSEPH CITRO: DO WE WANT TO BE TAKE FIVE MINUTES?
23:37:42 >>LYNN HURTAK: YES, PLEASE.
23:37:43 >>JOSEPH CITRO: FIVE-MINUTE RECESS.
23:37:49 [ RECESS ]
23:43:57 >>JOSEPH CITRO: FILE REZ 22-23.
23:49:18 MS. BARNES.
23:49:19 >>ANNIE BARNES: THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
23:49:22 ANNIE BARNES, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
23:49:24 ITEM 14 IS REZ 22-23.
23:49:27 THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 5411 WEST TYSON AVENUE.
23:49:32 THE DID IS TO REZONE FROM IG INDUSTRIAL GENERAL TO PD.
23:49:39 I WILL TURN OVER THE PRESENTATION TO JENNIFER MALONE OF THE
23:49:43 PLANNING COMMISSION AND THEN CONCLUDE MINE.
23:49:45 >>JENNIFER MALONE: PLANNING COMMISSION.
23:49:56 [~DISTORTION~] THIS IS AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
23:50:03 AS YOU KNOW IT'S LOCATED ON RATTLESNAKE POINT, SOW SOUTH OF
23:50:07 THE GANDY BOULEVARD.
23:50:12 THIS AREA OF THE CITY HAS EXPERIENCED TRANSITION,
23:50:15 TRANSITIONING FROM MOSTLY INDUSTRIAL USES TO MORE OF A MIXED
23:50:18 USE DEVELOPMENT.
23:50:22 THE AERIAL MIGHT NOT BE THE MOST UP-TO-DATE BUT THIS IS WHAT
23:50:26 WE HAVE.
23:50:26 THE FUTURE LAND USE IS COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35.
23:50:29 THAT'S THE PINK COLOR ON THE MAP.
23:50:31 THERE IS SOME HEAVY INDUSTRIAL LAND USE ON RATTLESNAKE POINT
23:50:36 TO THE EAST, THE GRAY, ALMOST BLACK COLOR.
23:50:42 AS YOU ALL KNOW, THERE ARE SPECIFIC FUTURE LAND USE POLICIES
23:50:46 IN THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT THAT ARE SPECIFIC TO WRATH
23:50:49 RATTLESNAKE POINT AND INTENDED TO GUIDE THE DEVELOPMENT
23:50:52 AROUND RATTLESNAKE POINT AS IT TRANSITIONS FROM MORE OF AN
23:50:56 INDUSTRIAL WORKING WATERFRONT TYPE AREA TO MORE OF A MIXED
23:51:01 USE RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL AREA.
23:51:06 I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL OF THE POLICIES THAT THE APPLICANT
23:51:09 HAS ADDRESSED TO LAND DEVELOPMENT IN THE INTEREST OF TIME
23:51:16 BUT A COUPLE OF THE IMPORTANT ONES, THE APPLICANT IS
23:51:19 ADDRESSING THE FACT THAT THE RATTLESNAKE POINT POLICIES
23:51:22 CALLS FOR EVERY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT THAT COMES IN TO HAVE A
23:51:24 PUBLIC ACCESS TO THE WATERFRONT, THAT IS IN POLICY 8.14.4
23:51:32 AND .5.
23:51:34 THE APPLICANT IS ADDRESSING THAT BY A NOTE ON THE PLAN.
23:51:37 THE APPLICANT IS ALSO PROVIDING A MITIGATION SHELTER SPACE
23:51:40 AS PROVIDED IN 8.11.7.
23:51:45 AND I NEED TO POINT OUT THAT THERE ARE SOME ITEMS THAT THE
23:51:48 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF ASKED FOR BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
23:51:51 READING, FOR THE RECORD, THAT THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO,
23:51:55 SPECIFICALLY A NOTE THAT THE UNITS ALONG WEST TYSON AVENUE
23:52:01 WILL HAVE FRONT DOORS FACING TOWARD TYSON AS WELL AS A
23:52:04 SIDEWALK ALONG THE FRONT OF THOSE UNITS TO COMPLETE THE
23:52:07 CONNECTIVITY, AS WELL AS HAVING SQUARE FOOTAGE STAYING ON
23:52:14 THE SUBJECT SITE.
23:52:15 ANNIE ALSO HAS THOSE REVISIONS IN HER PRESENTATION ON THE
23:52:19 PowerPoint SLIDE BUT I POINT THAT OUT FOR THE RECORD. WITH
23:52:24 THOSE REVISIONS WE DID FIND THE MIXED USE POLICY WAS THE
23:52:28 FRONT DOORS AND CONNECTIVITY, IT IS ALSO BELOW THE F.A.R. AS
23:52:32 A WHOLE, AND APPROXIMATELY A .8, I WANT TO SAY, AND THE
23:52:38 MAXIMUM IS 1.0.
23:52:40 SO WE DID FIND IT INCONSISTENT WITH THAT, THE FACT SO I AM
23:52:45 GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO ANNIE BUT I AM ALWAYS HERE FOR
23:52:48 QUESTIONS.
23:52:49 THANK YOU.
23:52:49 >>ANNIE BARNES: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.

23:54:19 THESE ARE SOME RESIDENTIAL HOMES THAT ARE BEING BUILT ALONG
23:54:24 TYSON, AS YOU CONTINUE EAST.
23:54:30 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE
23:54:33 APPLICATION AND FIND THE OVERALL REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE
23:54:36 CITY OF TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
23:54:39 MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN MUST BE COMPLETED BY THE

23:55:12 MAY BE ON LINE.
23:55:12 ARE THEY JOINING US?
23:55:15 >>ELISE BATSEL: YES, NOT FOR INITIAL PRESENTATION BUT JUST
23:55:17 FOR QUESTIONS. THEY ARE OUR CIVIL ENGINEERS.
23:55:19 >>JOSEPH CITRO: DO THEY NEED TO BE SWORN IN?
23:55:22 >>ELISE BATSEL: NO.
23:55:25 I AM ROLLING THE DICE HERE.
23:55:27 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
23:55:27 JUST MAKING SURE.
23:55:28 >>ELISE BATSEL: DO YOU HAVE MY PRESENTATION, PLEASE, MADAM
23:55:38 CLERK?
23:55:39 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I.T.?
23:56:00 THANK YOU.
23:56:04 >>ELISE BATSEL: GOOD EVENING.
23:56:12 IT'S NICE TO BE HERE AND I WILL GO AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE
23:56:16 GIVEN THE LATE HOUR.
23:56:20 ELISE BATSEL WITH STEARNS WEAVER.
23:56:24 WE HAVE OUR LINKS AND ASSOCIATES, OUR TRANSPORTATION
23:56:27 ENGINEERS AND OUR CIVIL ENGINEERS JOINING US TONIGHT.
23:56:30 AS ANNIE MENTIONED THIS IS 23.1 ACRES AT THE NORTHWESTERN
23:56:35 TIP OF RATTLESNAKE POINT.
23:56:38 MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN ON COUNCIL WHEN MANY OF THESE
23:56:41 REZONINGS HAVE COME FORWARD AND WE ARE SUPER EXCITED TO BE
23:56:43 HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT THIS TO YOU WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE
23:56:47 COMMUNITY.
23:56:50 THE FUTURE LAND USE, COMMUNITY LAND USE 35, THERE'S ONLY
23:56:56 THREE AREAS REMAINING OF HEAVY INDUSTRIAL IN THE FUTURE LAND
23:57:00 USE.
23:57:00 THAT'S CHEMICAL FORMULATORS, THE ARMY TRAINING CENTER, AND
23:57:04 HULA BAY, THE RECREATIONAL AREA.
23:57:09 THE EXISTING ZONING IS INDUSTRIAL GENERAL.
23:57:13 THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST INDUSTRIAL SITES REMAINING WITH THE
23:57:16 EXCEPTION OF THE ARMY RESERVE CHEMICAL FORMULATORS AND TO
23:57:20 THE SOUTH.
23:57:20 THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS TO REZONE THIS PROPERTY FROM
23:57:24 INDUSTRIAL GENERAL TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WHICH IS
23:57:26 CONSISTENT WITH THE TRANSITION THAT ANNIE HAS ALREADY SPOKEN
23:57:29 ABOUT AND ALSO CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
23:57:32 RATTLESNAKE POINT POLICIES.
23:57:36 I WANT TO STEP BACK TO 35 THAT YOU FOOT VIEW FOR A MOMENT.
23:57:41 THIS IS THE FIRST OF MANY APPLICATIONS THAT WE ARE GOING TO
23:57:44 BE COMING BEFORE YOU.
23:57:46 THIS IS A REZONING THAT COVERS NUMBER 1 ON THIS PLAN.
23:57:50 THIS REZONING TONIGHT IS 5441 WEST TYSON.
23:57:54 THE NEXT LOCATION THAT WE WILL BE SUBMITTING, THAT TAKES
23:57:58 THIS VISION INTO ACCOUNT, IS GOING TO BE A COMPREHENSIVE
23:58:00 PLAN AMENDMENT THAT WE PLAN TO FILE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
23:58:03 READING FOR THE CHEMICAL FORMULATE OR PROPERTY.
23:58:06 THAT'S NOT BEFORE YOU TONIGHT.
23:58:07 BUT THAT APPLICATION WILL BE COMING IN JUNE 1st.
23:58:10 AND THAT WOULD BE CHAINING THAT FROM HEAVY INDUSTRIAL TO
23:58:12 CMU-35.
23:58:14 THEN WE'LL NEED TO COME IN AGAIN FOR A REZONING FOR CHEMICAL
23:58:18 FORMULATORS.
23:58:19 THAT'S GOING TO BE PHASE TWO OF OUR PROJECT WHERE WE ARE
23:58:21 GOING TO BE ADDING ADDITIONAL UNITS.
23:58:23 BUT I DID WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE TAKEN GREAT CARE
23:58:26 AND FRONT LOADING ALL THE AMENITIES, ALL OF THE PUBLIC
23:58:29 SPACES INTO PHASE 1 SO THE COMMUNITY CAN BE ASSURED THAT
23:58:34 THEY ARE GOING TO BE PART OF OUR OVERALL PROJECT.
23:58:36 FINALLY, WE ARE GOING TO BE COMING BACK TO CITY COUNCIL AT
23:58:39 SOME POINT IN 2023 FOR SOME SORT OF ASKING FOR A FUNDING
23:58:43 MECHANISM TO MAKE GREATER IMPROVEMENTS ON RATTLESNAKE POINT.
23:58:47 WE ARE DEDICATED TO A PUBLIC PARK, WE WOULD LIKE TO BE
23:58:52 INVOLVED IN MAKING IMPROVEMENTS TO TYSON AVENUE, PARKING
23:58:54 ALONG TYSON AVENUE, AND TO FUNDING THE DEFICIT THAT'S
23:58:58 NECESSARY FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AT TYSON AND WESTSHORE.
23:59:01 AGAIN, ALL OF THESE THINGS AREN'T BEFORE YOU TONIGHT BUT WE
23:59:05 WANTED TO PAINT THAT BIGGER VISION SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE
23:59:08 ARE GOING.
23:59:09 THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS THE 23 ACRES FROM IG TO
23:59:13 PD.
23:59:14 SO JUST TO BREAK THE PLAN DOWN A LITTLE BIT, THE RESIDENTIAL
23:59:17 COMPONENT IS 625 MULTIFAMILY UNITS IN THE BACKYARD U-SHAPED
23:59:26 BUILDINGS THAT YOU SEE ON THE PLAN.
23:59:27 WE ARE ALSO PROPOSING -- THAT'S 593 UNITS IN THE MULTIFAMILY
23:59:31 BUILDING.
23:59:32 WE ARE ALSO PROPOSING 32 TOWN HOME UNITS.
23:59:35 THOSE ARE THE LITTLE PURPLE BUILDINGS JUST SOUTH OF THE
23:59:38 PUBLIC PARK.
23:59:40 AND THE PINK BUILDINGS ARE TWO RESTAURANT RETAIL AREAS.
23:59:44 THE FIRST, ALL THE WAY TO THE SOUTHWEST IS SALT SHACK, THE
23:59:49 EXISTING SALT SHAKE BUILDING.
23:59:51 AND THE OTHER PINK BUILDING IS A NEW 6,000 SQUARE FOOT
23:59:54 RETAIL RESTAURANT ESTABLISHMENT THAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO BE
00:00:59 ADDED AS PART OF THE REZONING.
00:00:00 WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SEVERAL PUBLIC AMENITIES, SPECIFICALLY,
00:00:04 WE HAVE DEDICATED 1,910 FEET OF LINEAR BOARDWALK ALL ALONG
00:00:10 THE WALKWAY, AND I WILL TALK A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THAT, AS
00:00:13 WELL AS THIS 3-ACRE WATERFRONT PARK.
00:00:17 SO IN TOTAL, WE HAVE OVER FIVE ACRES OF OPEN SPACE, AND WE
00:00:23 HAVE 8.19 ACRES OF NONRESIDENTIAL, AND LOOKING FOR TRUE
00:00:29 MIXED USE.
00:00:30 SO WE HAVE TAKEN ALL THE NONRESIDENTIAL AND AGGREGATED THAT
00:00:33 AND IT'S ACTUALLY 35% OF THE SITE.
00:00:35 AND AGAIN, ON A 23-ACRE PARCEL WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR ONE
00:00:39 WAIVER AT THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
00:00:43 BEFORE I MOVE ON I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR
00:00:46 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.
00:00:47 WE HAVE MET WITH THE SOUTH OF GANDY COMMUNITY AND THE SOUTH
00:00:50 OF GANDY LEADERS MULTIPLE, MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST
00:00:53 YEAR.
00:00:54 AND THEY ASKED FOR SEVERAL THINGS TO BE INCORPORATED INTO
00:00:56 OUR PLAN, WHICH WE ARE PLEASED TO TELL YOU WE WERE ABLE TO
00:00:59 DO.
00:00:59 THE FIRST ONE OF THOSE IS A WORKFORCE HOUSING COMPONENT.
00:01:05 THE SOUTHEASTERN HAS COMMITTED TO A MINIMUM OF 30 WORKFORCE
00:01:10 HOUSING UNITS AS PART OF THIS PROJECT.
00:01:12 THAT WAS AS A DIRECT RESULT OF REQUESTS FROM THE SOUTH OF
00:01:16 GANDY COMMUNITY.
00:01:19 THEY ALSO ASKED FOR MORE ROBUST PUBLIC SPACES.
00:01:24 SO THE PLAN FOR THE SITE AND ADDED IN THESE ROBUST PUBLIC
00:01:29 SPACES, AS WE MENTIONED, THE AREA IN GREEN WHICH IS THE
00:01:34 THREE-ACRE WATERFRONT PARK.
00:01:36 THE AREA IN PURPLE IS DESIGNATED, THIS IS THE RETAIL MIXED
00:01:41 USE COMPONENT.
00:01:42 AGAIN, THESE ARE PUBLIC SPACES.
00:01:46 EVERYBODY CAN COME SO THERE'S PARKING FOR THE PUBLIC PARK,
00:01:49 THERE'S PARKING FOR THE BOARDWALK, AND THERE'S PARKING FOR
00:01:52 THESE RETAIL AND RESTAURANT ESTABLISHMENTS.
00:01:55 FINALLY, THE BLUE AREA IS THE PUBLIC BOARDWALK.
00:02:02 AND THE IDEA IS THAT THIS PUBLIC BOARDWALK IS GOING TO
00:02:04 CONNECT TO THE SOUTH DIRECTLY INTO WHERE THE MAA BOARDWALK
00:02:10 WAS APPROVED AND IS NOW BEING PERMITTED TO BE CONSTRUCTED,
00:02:13 AND TO THE EXTENT THAT THIS COUNCIL APPROVES WOODFIELD, WE
00:02:16 HAVE DESIGNED THE BOARDWALK TO ALSO CONNECT TO THE WOODFIELD
00:02:19 BOARDWALK TO PROVIDE THIS NICE CONTINUANCE WATERFRONT LINEAR
00:02:23 PARK.
00:02:25 WITH RESPECT TO DENSITY AND INTENSITY, AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS
00:02:29 CMU-35, AND SO YOUR FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION, OR
00:02:34 CATEGORY, WOULD ALLOW 30 UNITS PER ACRE AND 35 UNITS PER
00:02:38 ACRE WITH BONUSES.
00:02:40 WE ARE REQUESTING 27 UNITS PER ACRE HERE, CONSISTENT WITH
00:02:44 ALL OF THE OTHER PREVIOUSLY APPROVED MULTIFAMILY AND MIXED
00:02:48 USE DEVELOPMENTS ON RATTLESNAKE POINT.
00:02:53 AND IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT WHEN YOU LOOK AT A PROJECT TO LOOK
00:02:56 AT THE BIGGER PICTURE, AGAIN AND WHAT'S AROUND THERE.
00:02:59 SO I JUST WANTED TO CREATE THIS GRAPHIC SO THAT YOU COULD
00:03:02 SEE HOW THIS DEVELOPMENT FIT IN WITH SURROUNDING AREA.
00:03:05 THOSE CROSS HATCHED AREAS DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTH, THAT'S THE
00:03:09 MAA PROJECT THAT WAS APPROVED AT THE MIXED USE WATERFRONT
00:03:13 PROJECT.
00:03:13 DIRECTLY TO THE EAST IS THE WOODFIELD PORK CHOP WHICH IS
00:03:18 PENDING BEFORE YOU THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE APPROVED.
00:03:20 FURTHER TO THE EAST IS THE U.S. ARMY TRAINING CENTER.
00:03:24 AND FURTHER TO THE EAST WHERE YOU SEE REZONING, THAT 77,
00:03:29 THAT'S A RESIDENTIAL PROJECT THAT I BELIEVE IS GETTING READY
00:03:32 TO GO INTO PERMITTING THIS WEEK OR NEXT WEEK.
00:03:40 SO FROM A CONSISTENCY STANDPOINT, THIS PROJECT IS CONSISTENT
00:03:44 WITH THE OBJECTIVES AND ALL OF THE POLICIES FOR RATTLESNAKE
00:03:48 POINT WHICH OF COURSE ENCOURAGES THAT TRANSITION AWAY FROM
00:03:53 INDUSTRIAL TO RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL WITH A REAL STRONG
00:03:56 EMPHASIS ON ENHANCING A WATERFRONT COMMUNITY.
00:04:00 IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE CMU-35 LAND USE CATEGORY,
00:04:04 CONSISTENT WITH APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE COASTAL
00:04:06 MANAGEMENT ELEMENT, AND THE MIXED USE CORRIDOR POLICIES, AND
00:04:10 AGAIN NO WAIVERS ARE REQUESTED.
00:04:12 SO AT THIS POINT IN TIME I WOULD LIKE TO BRIEFLY TURN IT
00:04:15 OVER TO MY COLLEAGUE TINA WHO IS AN AICP CERTIFIED PLANNER
00:04:19 WITH OVER 15 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND SHE'S GOING TO DELVE
00:04:24 INTO THE INCONSISTENCIES JUST A LITTLE BIT.
00:04:27 >> GOOD EVENING.
00:04:30 FOR THE RECORD, TINA EKBLAD, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING WITH
00:04:33 STEARNS WEAVER MILLER.
00:04:35 I DO HAVE A FEW BRIEF COMMENTS FOR YOU TONIGHT REGARDING
00:04:37 YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THIS PROJECT CONSISTENCY.
00:04:42 AS YOU HEARD, THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 FUTURE LAND USE
00:04:45 CATEGORY PROMOTES AN INTEGRATION OF USES, AND RELATED TO
00:04:49 THAT, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF POLICIES IN YOUR COMPREHENSIVE
00:04:53 PLAN THAT PROMOTE THE TRANSITION OF SINGLE USE PROPERTIES
00:04:57 INTO MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, AND SPECIFICALLY THAT ENCOURAGE
00:05:02 COMPACT IN-FILL DEVELOPMENT ON UNDERUTILIZED PROPERTIES, AND
00:05:08 THERE'S ADDITIONAL EMPHASIS ON PROJECTS IN MAJOR
00:05:11 TRANSPORTATION ROUTES WITHIN THE CITY.
00:05:13 THE PROPOSED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT BEFORE YOU TONIGHT DOES
00:05:15 PROMOTE THIS TRANSITION OF AN ISOLATED INDUSTRIAL USE INTO A
00:05:20 MIXED USE PROJECT, AND ESTABLISHES INFRASTRUCTURE
00:05:23 IMPROVEMENTS THAT SUPPORT PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY, PUBLIC
00:05:26 ACCESS TO THE WATERFRONT, AND ALSO RECREATION AS HAS BEEN
00:05:30 MENTIONED BY HILLSBOROUGH PLANNING COMMISSION AND ALSO
00:05:34 ATTORNEY BATSEL.
00:05:36 IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS CONNECTIVITY IS NOT JUST TO
00:05:40 THE EAST BUT INTERNAL ON THE SITE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT BUT
00:05:44 ALSO EXTERNAL TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES.
00:05:47 AND THEN SPECIFIC TO THE PROJECT'S LOCATION ON RATTLESNAKE
00:05:50 POINT, THE CITY'S PLAN PROMOTES THE TRANSITION OF LAND USE
00:05:55 FROM AS WE HEARD, THOSE EXISTING INDUSTRIAL USES, THROUGH
00:05:59 THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, TO ENABLE A MORE DETAILED
00:06:03 REVIEW, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY TO ENSURE THAT MITIGATION IS
00:06:06 PROVIDED REGARDING TRANSPORTATION AND HURRICANE EVACUATION
00:06:10 AND SHELTER.
00:06:12 AS A PLAN DEVELOPMENT, THE SITE PLAN BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS
00:06:15 CONSISTENT WITH THIS PROCESS.
00:06:17 THE SITE PLAN INCLUDES NOTES THAT ENSURE THAT MITIGATION
00:06:20 PAYMENTS ARE PROVIDED FOR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS,
00:06:24 DESPITE THE PROJECT'S LOCATION IN A TRANSPORTATION
00:06:27 CONCURRENCY EXCEPTION AREA, IT ALSO INCLUDES NOTES THAT
00:06:30 MITIGATION PAYMENTS REGARDING HURRICANE EVACUATION BE
00:06:33 PROVIDED.
00:06:34 BOTH OF THESE WILL BE GIVEN TO THE CITY PRIOR TO
00:06:37 CONSTRUCTION.
00:06:38 YOU WILL HAVE THOSE FUND FOR IMPROVEMENT OFF-SITE.
00:06:42 I ALSO WANT TO NOTE WITH REGARD TO HURRICANE EVACUATION, THE
00:06:46 CITY AND THEIR JOINT PROGRAM WITH THE COUNTY IS WORKING, THE
00:06:49 STATE PUBLISHED A HURRICANE SHELTER STUDY THIS YEAR IN 2022,
00:06:55 HILLSBOROUGH IS ONE OF THE FEW COUNTIES THAT IS PROVIDING
00:06:58 ADEQUATE SHELTER SPACE ACROSS ALL COUNTY SO THE PROGRAM IS
00:07:02 WORKING.
00:07:02 THEREFORE IT IS MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION THAT THE PROPOSED
00:07:05 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS CONSISTENT WITH
00:07:07 THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND AT THIS TIME, I WOULD
00:07:10 LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO STEVE HENRY, THE PROJECT'S
00:07:14 TRANSPORTATION ENGINEER WHO IS A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER WITH
00:07:16 OVER 35 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE TO DISCUSS THE TRANSPORTATION
00:07:20 ANALYSIS CONDUCTED FOR THIS PROJECT.
00:07:21 >> STEVE HENRY, LINCKS AND ASSOCIATES, 5023 WEST LAUREL,
00:07:29 TAMPA 33607, AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
00:07:34 AS INDICATED, THE SITE IS WITHIN THE CITY OF TAMPA
00:07:37 CONCURRENCY EXCEPTION AREA, AND SO WE CONDUCTED THE TRAFFIC
00:07:41 ANALYSIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY'S PROCEDURE MANUAL.
00:07:44 THE ANALYSIS WAS BY YOUR STAFF AND CONCUR WITH THE
00:07:48 CONCLUSIONS, AND IN FACT THIS PROJECT WILL PAY $264,237 IN
00:07:54 MITIGATION FEES FOR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS IN THE AREA.
00:07:59 AND THEN IN ADDITION, REAL QUICKLY, THE SITE AS INDICATED IS
00:08:04 CURRENTLY ZONED IG WHICH WOULD ALLOW OVER A MILLION SQUARE
00:08:08 FEET OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.
00:08:09 THIS GRAPHIC SHOWS YOU A COMPARISON OF WHAT COULD BE BASED
00:08:14 ON THE IG ZONING VERSUS WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING.
00:08:18 THE GREEN IS THE WHAT COULD BE DONE WITH THE IG ZONING.
00:08:22 YOU CAN SEE IN THE AM PEAK HOUR ABOUT 745 TRIPS, WHERE IS WE
00:08:28 ARE PROPOSING ABOUT 218.
00:08:30 IN THE P.M. PEAK HOUR COULD BE 654, BUT WE ARE PROPOSING IS
00:08:34 ABOUT 289.
00:08:36 THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
00:08:38 ANY QUESTIONS?
00:08:38 >>ELISE BATSEL: JUST BRIEFLY FOR BREVITY SAKE, QUICK
00:08:49 ELEVATION OF THE TOWNHOMES AND THE MULTIFAMILY.
00:08:52 YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF AND YOUR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
00:08:55 STAFF ALL FOUND THE PROJECT CONSISTENT, AND OUR DEVELOPMENT
00:08:59 TEAM IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.
00:09:02 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:09:02 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE PETITIONER?
00:09:15 I HAVE ONE.
00:09:16 PLEASE.
00:09:18 YOU ARE PLANNING ON GIVING THREE ACRES TO A PARK.
00:09:22 WHAT WOULD CHANGE IF YOU WERE GOING TO ASK IN THIS PETITION
00:09:26 TO BUILD ON THAT PARK?
00:09:29 F.A.R. CHANGE?
00:09:31 >>ELISE BATSEL: WE WOULD STILL BE LIMITED BY THE FUTURE
00:09:33 LAND USE.
00:09:34 AS YOU KNOW, CMU-35 ALLOWS -- TO ASK FOR 35 UNITS PER ACRE
00:09:39 BUT WITH THE BONUS DENSE DENSITY WE COULD ASK UP FOR 35
00:09:42 UNITS PER ACRE SO WE WOULD PROBABLY IF WE WEREN'T DEDICATING
00:09:45 IT TO A PUBLIC PARK WOULD PROBABLY ASK FOR MORE DENSITY ON
00:09:48 THE SITE, OR SOME OTHER KIND OF USE.
00:09:50 AGAIN.
00:09:54 >>JOSEPH CITRO: WHY ARE YOU INCLUDING THIS NOW?
00:09:57 >> SALT SHACK IS PART OF THAT PROPERTY AND ALL OWNED BY THE
00:10:00 SAME PROPERTY OWNER SO IT COMES IN TO THE PD BECAUSE IT'S
00:10:04 ALL ON THE SAME PROPERTY.
00:10:06 RATHER THAN EXCLUDING IT AND PARCELING IT OUT, IT'S ACTUALLY
00:10:10 ON THE SAME ZONING LOT AS THE PROPERTY THAT WE ARE
00:10:12 DEVELOPING AND IT WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO THE OVERALL
00:10:15 DEVELOPMENT.
00:10:15 FOR EXAMPLE, THERE ARE WALKING PATHWAYS.
00:10:21 I CAN TRY TO PULL THOSE UP.
00:10:24 THAT CONNECT SALT SHACK TO THE OTHER AREAS, AND TO THE
00:10:26 PUBLIC BOARDWALK.
00:10:28 SO WE REALLY TRIED TO INTEGRATE THAT EXISTING DEVELOPMENT
00:10:32 WITH THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S PROPOSED.
00:10:34 >>JOSEPH CITRO: AGAIN, AS WITH THE PARK, IF YOU WEREN'T
00:10:37 INCLUDING THE SALT SHACK, WHAT WOULD CHANGE IN THE
00:10:40 DEVELOPMENT THAT YOU ARE PLANNING NOW?
00:10:41 >>ELISE BATSEL: WELL, IF WE WEREN'T INCLUDING SALT SHACK WE
00:10:46 WOULD HAVE LESS ACREAGE TO WORK WITH.
00:10:48 SO WE WOULD PROBABLY JUST EXCLUDE SALT SHACK, AND THEN WE
00:10:52 WOULDN'T HAVE THE CONNECTIVITY OF THE BOARDWALK,
00:10:54 UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE WE NEED THAT PROPERTY, SALT SHACK'S
00:10:57 PROPERTY TO CONTINUE THAT PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY.
00:11:00 SO REALLY IT'S AN ADDED BENEFIT, TO SALT SHACK, I THINK, AND
00:11:05 ALSO THE DEVELOPMENT.
00:11:05 >>JOSEPH CITRO: LAST QUESTION.
00:11:06 SO NOTHING WOULD CHANGE IN THE AMOUNT OF UNITS IN YOUR
00:11:08 F.A.R.?
00:11:09 >>ELISE BATSEL: WELL, IF WE WEREN'T INCLUDING IT, WE --
00:11:14 FIRST OF ALL, THREE ACRE PUBLIC PARK, WE ARE NOT DEVELOPING
00:11:17 THAT SITE, BUT WE ARE SHIFTING UNITS.
00:11:20 OF COURSE WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR THE MAXIMUM DENSITY.
00:11:24 DOES THAT MAKE ABSENCE AM I ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION?
00:11:27 I FEEL LIKE I AM NOT ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION.
00:11:28 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YOU ARE GETTING THERE, AND I CANNOT ASK FOR
00:11:32 CONDITIONS THAT YOU NOT BUILD ON THAT PARK BUT YOU WOULD
00:11:35 HAVE TO COME BACK.
00:11:36 >>ELISE BATSEL: OH, ABSOLUTELY.
00:11:37 SO THAT THREE ACRE PARK IF APPROVED TONIGHT IS A THREE ACRE
00:11:41 PUBLIC PARK.
00:11:42 SO FOR US TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN USE IT AS A PARK, WE
00:11:45 WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK BEFORE THIS BOARD AND GET A MAJOR
00:11:47 MODIFICATION TO THE ZONING.
00:11:50 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
00:11:54 IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT?
00:12:12 MS. BARNES, I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T SEE YOU.
00:12:16 I KNOW YOU ARE ALWAYS THERE.
00:12:32 >>ANNIE BARNES: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
00:12:34 SO MS. BATSEL BROUGHT UP THAT THERE WILL BE WORKFORCE
00:12:40 HOUSING.
00:12:41 CURRENTLY, STAFF DOES NOT HAVE AN AGREEMENT OR A NOTE ON THE
00:12:46 SITE PLAN TO DEFINE THAT WORKFORCE HOUSING.
00:12:52 SO I DON'T KNOW HOW ENFORCEABLE IT WILL BE.
00:12:58 I JUST WANTED TO STATE THAT ON THE RECORD.
00:13:00 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, MS. BARNES.
00:13:04 DO YOU WANT TO REBUT TO THAT?
00:13:06 >>ELISE BATSEL, NO I JUST WANTED TO OFFER IF THERE'S AN
00:13:09 APPROPRIATE NOTE, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU NOTE WORKFORCE
00:13:12 HOUSING ON YOUR PLAN.
00:13:14 HAPPY TO PUT A NOTE THAT 30 UNITS WILL BE WORKFORCE HOUSING,
00:13:18 WHICH WILL BE 80 TO 100% OF THE AVERAGE MEDIAN INCOME.
00:13:23 THAT'S WORKFORCE HOUSING.
00:13:25 WE'LL ADD THAT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
00:13:27 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YOU CAN INCLUDE THAT IN A NOTE.
00:13:33 THANK YOU.
00:13:33 >>MARTIN SHELBY: CAN WE ADDRESS THAT, IF WE CAN?
00:13:40 TO DO THAT ON A SITE PLAN, THE QUESTION IS, HOW IS THAT
00:13:42 ENFORCEABLE?
00:13:44 AND THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT I GUESS HASN'T REALLY BEEN
00:13:48 DISCUSSED UP TO THIS POINT.
00:13:50 >>CATE WELLS: CHIEF ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY.
00:13:52 IT HAD NOT BEEN DISCUSSED AND THAT'S WHAT WAS ADDRESSED ON
00:13:56 THE SITE PLAN.
00:13:56 SO WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING THERE'S A DEFINITION OF 80 TO
00:14:00 120% AMI.
00:14:02 AND WE DEAL WITH ENFORCEMENT FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING WHICH IS
00:14:08 REQUIRED FOR A 30-YEAR PERIOD AND IT'S ENFORCED BY THE CITY
00:14:11 EITHER THROUGH AN AGREEMENT THAT'S NEGOTIATED BETWEEN THE
00:14:15 CITY AND THE APPLICANT, AND IT'S PART OF THE REZONING, OR
00:14:20 WHERE YOU AREN'T SEEKING AN INCREASE IN DENSITY IN EXCHANGE
00:14:24 FOR THAT AMENITY OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING, IT WOULD THEN BE
00:14:27 NOTED ON THE SITE PLAN.
00:14:29 BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS THAT OCCUR WITH REGARD TO
00:14:34 WORKFORCE HOUSING, BUT NOT A DEFINED TERM BY THE STATE OR BY
00:14:37 THE CITY, AND IS IT GOING TO BE ENFORCED FOR A PERIOD OF 30
00:14:42 YEARS?
00:14:43 WHAT IS THE CITY'S ROLE GOING TO BE TO ENFORCE IT?
00:14:46 NONE OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS HAVE OCCURRED TO DATE.
00:14:48 WE ARE HEARING ABOUT IT TONIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME.
00:14:50 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MS. WELLS, CAN THAT BE REVISED BETWEEN
00:14:56 FIRST AND SECOND READING?
00:14:58 >>CATE WELLS: TYPICALLY BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING
00:15:02 CITY COUNCIL HAS ALREADY SEEN THE LANGUAGE AND KNOWS WHAT IS
00:15:05 GOING TO BE INCORPORATED INTO THE SITE PLAN.
00:15:07 THAT THE POINT WE HAVE NO LANGUAGE, AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT
00:15:10 WORKFORCE HOUSING ACTUALLY MEANS.
00:15:13 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES, MA'AM?
00:15:27 >> MY NAME IS STEPHANIE POYNOR.
00:15:29 YES, I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
00:15:31 I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASKED FOR
00:15:36 THIS.
00:15:38 THE NEIGHBORHOODS ASKED FOR THE WORKFORCE AND THE
00:15:40 AFFORDABLE.
00:15:41 AND THIS IS NOT A SECRET.
00:15:43 NOTHING IS TOP SECRET ABOUT THIS.
00:15:44 THIS HAS BEEN IN PLACE.
00:15:46 WE HAVE SHARED THIS WITH STAFF MEMBERS.
00:15:49 I'M SORRY IT DIDN'T GET TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE, BUT IT'S BEEN
00:15:52 SHARED, AND IT WAS DONE IN GOOD FAITH IN THE DISCUSSION.
00:15:58 AS A MATTER OF FACT, MS. HOWELL TOLD US ABOUT A YEAR AGO SHE
00:16:02 SAID THERE'S TWO WAYS WE CAN GET MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING,
00:16:05 PROCESS, POLICY, AND PRACTICE.
00:16:08 AND WE ARE HERE TO PRACTICE THIS.
00:16:10 THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THE NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE ASKED FOR
00:16:13 IT.
00:16:13 IT'S JUST THE FIRST TIME THAT WE COULD NOT GET THE CITY TO
00:16:17 TALK ABOUT THIS PROJECT WITH US.
00:16:21 REPEATEDLY, OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, WE ASKED MS. POST
00:16:25 TO SPEAK ABOUT IT, WE FINALLY TALKED TO MRS. TRAVIS ABOUT IT
00:16:28 ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO.
00:16:30 SO IF NOBODY IN THIS ROOM KNEW ABOUT IT, IT'S BECAUSE WE
00:16:34 WERE IGNORED OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN BY MS. POST AND BY
00:16:40 ADMINISTRATION.
00:16:40 SO THAT'S NOBODY'S FAULT, BUT THOSE PEOPLE, BECAUSE WE
00:16:46 ASKED.
00:16:47 I STOOD UP HERE IN FRONT OF COUNCIL HOW MANY TIMES AND TRIED
00:16:50 TO DISCUSS WHAT'S GOING ON ON RATTLESNAKE POINT.
00:16:54 I WAS TOTALLY OFFENDED THAT THIS CONVERSATION HAS CONTINUED.
00:16:58 NOW, I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.
00:17:01 I AM HERE TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.
00:17:03 WHY?
00:17:04 BECAUSE IT'S A BETTER PROJECT.
00:17:05 EVERY TIME WE HAVE EVER COME IN FRONT OF YOU, WE HAD A
00:17:09 HALFWAY PROJECT.
00:17:10 BUT TONIGHT, MS. BATSEL, SOUTHEASTERN, CAME TO US WITH A
00:17:16 GOOD PROJECT FROM THE START.
00:17:19 THERE'S NO WAIVERS.
00:17:20 THEY CAME IN AT THE SAME NUMBER OF DWELLING UNITS THAT
00:17:24 EVERYBODY ELSE HAS HAD TO WORK FOR, SPEND HUNDREDS OF
00:17:28 THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN FLUEDRA TO GET TO.
00:17:31 THEY CAME IN READY TO GO, AND READY TO DO THE RIGHT THING,
00:17:35 AND THE ONLY PROBLEM IN THIS HAS BEEN THE BARRIER THAT WAS
00:17:40 CREATED BY CITY STAFF.
00:17:42 AND I'M SORRY, NOW WHAT, IT JUST GOT THROWN UNDER THE BUS.
00:17:46 YOU CAN READ MY SPEECH.
00:17:47 IT HAD NOTHING TO DO ABOUT IT BUT NOW I AM A LITTLE AMISS
00:17:52 BECAUSE I ASKED OVER AND OVER AGAIN, WHEN MS. BATSEL
00:17:56 E-MAILED CAROLE POST IN AUGUST, SHE SAID, I'M SORRY, THE
00:18:00 CITY IS PROBABLY NOT INTERESTED, I DON'T WANT YOU SPINNING
00:18:06 YOUR WHEELS, AND THAT'S A QUOTE AND I GAVE IT TO EVERYBODY
00:18:08 UP THERE EXCEPT FOR COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK IN AN ENVELOPE WITH
00:18:13 A DRAFT.
00:18:14 ALL THIS INFORMATION THAT WAS PROBABLY 3 OR 400 PAGES WORTH
00:18:18 OF INFORMATION.
00:18:18 SO IF YOU ARE IGNORANT ABOUT IT, IT'S NOT FOR LACK OF
00:18:23 CARROLL ANN AND I AND THE OTHER FOLKS SOUTH OF GANDY NOT
00:18:26 REACHING OUT ABOUT IT.
00:18:28 PLEASE SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.
00:18:29 VOTE YES FOR IT.
00:18:31 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
00:18:32 >> MY NAME IS CARROLL ANN BENNETT.
00:18:40 I AM A LIFE-LONG RESIDENT OF SOUTH TAMPA.
00:18:43 TONIGHT I WANT TO THANK THE CITY COUNCIL AND JOHN
00:18:47 DINGFELDER.
00:18:47 I THANK YOU FOR ASKING QUESTIONS.
00:18:50 I THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO THE CITIZENS, FOR SAYING THE
00:18:54 DESERVES TOP QUALITY DEVELOPMENT AND WE WILL NOT ACCEPT
00:18:58 MEDIOCRITY.
00:18:59 I THANK YOU FOR SAYING NO.
00:19:02 YOU AND JOHN DINGFELDER SAID NO WHEN DEVELOPERS IGNORED
00:19:07 RESIDENTS WHO PROPOSED LOUSY PROJECT.
00:19:10 THAT COST DEVELOPERS A LOT OF MONEY BUT THEY LEARNED
00:19:12 QUICKLY.
00:19:13 THEY LEARNED TO TALK TO US AND THEY UPPED THEIR GAME.
00:19:15 SOUTHEASTERN HAS BROUGHT THEIR A GAME AND I SUPPORT THEIR
00:19:18 PROJECT BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE OUR CITY BETTER.
00:19:21 YOU KNOW THAT WE FOUGHT AGAINST ELIMINATING INDUSTRIAL USES
00:19:24 ON RATTLESNAKE POINT BECAUSE THEY PROVIDED GOOD JOBS, WHICH
00:19:27 ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS HOUSING.
00:19:29 WE FOUGHT THE DENSITY BECAUSE PEOPLE IN SOUTH TAMPA ARE
00:19:33 TERRIFIED OF RIDING OUT A HURRICANE IN THEIR CARS.
00:19:35 WE WORRIED THAT AN ACT OF TERRORISM OR IS A OH STRATEGY OF
00:19:39 CHEMICAL FORMULATORS COULD KILL THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.
00:19:44 IT IS STILL FALL I SHALL TO ELIMINATE AREAS THAT CAN CREATE
00:19:47 JOBS.
00:19:47 YOU CANNOT SOLVE THE COMPLICATED HOUSING CRISIS A SIMPLISTIC
00:19:51 POORLY PLANNED BUILDING FRENZY.
00:19:53 AND WE ARE STILL VERY WORRIED ABOUT EVACUATING MASSES OF
00:19:56 PEOPLE THROUGH THE MOUTH OF A COKE BOTTLE.
00:20:00 BUT SINCE WE CAN'T GO BACK TO 2016 AND SAVE THOSE JOBS WE
00:20:03 ARE FIGHTING FOR THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME.
00:20:05 THIS PROJECT IS THE BEST OF OUTCOMES.
00:20:07 I AM IMPRESSED WITH THE WILLINGNESS OF SOUTHEASTERN AND MS.
00:20:11 BATSEL TO SPEND SO MUCH TIME, ENERGY AND MONEY IN LISTENING
00:20:14 TO THE CITIZENS AND COMING UP WITH A CREATIVE PLAN.
00:20:16 THEY LISTENED TO OUR REQUESTS FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
00:20:19 THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
00:20:22 ON TYSON AND WESTSHORE MUST BE DONE ASAP.
00:20:25 WE CANNOT WAIT FOR THE CITY TO GET AROUND TO IT YEARS AND
00:20:27 YEARS FROM NOW.
00:20:28 THEY ARE REMOVING THE ENORMOUS THREAT OF HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL
00:20:32 PLANT AND HEAVILY POPULATED AREA.
00:20:35 AS A BONUS THIS MEANS THE CITY CAN TURN THE CHEMICAL
00:20:38 FORMULATE OR'S RAIL SPUR INTO A WALKING BIKING GREENWAY.
00:20:42 THEY WANT TO CREATE A BEAUTIFUL WATERFRONT PUBLIC, I
00:20:45 REPETITION, PUBLIC PARK.
00:20:48 IMAGINE PEOPLE BIKING DOWN A GREENWAY OVER TO A 2 MILE
00:20:51 WATERFRONT BOARDWALK.
00:20:52 THEY WILL SHOP, EAST AT RESTAURANTS AND WATCH THEIR KIDS
00:20:55 PLAY IN A PUBLIC PARK.
00:20:57 THE PUBLIC PARK CAN HOST CONCERTS, FOOD FESTIVALS, ART
00:21:00 SHOWS, MOVIES AND MORE.
00:21:02 IMAGINE A TROLLEY GOING FROM DOWNTOWN TO RATTLESNAKE POINTED
00:21:06 PROVIDING GREAT TRANSPORTATION TO EVENTS IN BOTH THE
00:21:08 DOWNTOWN AND IN THE POINT.
00:21:11 SOUTHEASTERN'S BOLD PLAN CAN CONVERT THE POINT INTO
00:21:14 SOMETHING SPECIAL, INTO A REAL GEM.
00:21:18 THEY BROUGHT YOU THE PLAN.
00:21:19 NOW IT'S UP TO YOU AND THE MAYOR TO THINK LONG-TERM AND BIG
00:21:22 PICTURE.
00:21:24 PLEASE APPROVE THE FIRST PIECE OF THIS VISION AND THEN GIVE
00:21:27 US SOMETHING SPECIAL THAT TAMPA CAN BE PROUD OF.
00:21:30 THANK YOU.
00:21:31 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
00:21:31 >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
00:21:41 I WAS INVITED HERE BY STEPHANIE AND CARROLL ANN TO TALK
00:21:47 ABOUT THIS PROJECT BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL, I COME HERE WHEN I
00:21:53 DO BECAUSE I WANT TO SAY YES TO HOUSING, AND THEY ARE SAYING
00:21:56 YES TO HOUSING TODAY, SUSTAINED TRANSIT AND MOST CITIES GOT
00:22:02 SORT OF A THRESHOLD THAT A GOOD NUMBER FOR BUS SERVICE.
00:22:09 I THE OTHER THING I LIKE OF THIS PROJECT, OF COURSE I REALLY
00:22:13 LIKE IT BECAUSE BUT THERE'S A BIG SURFACE LOT AND NOT A
00:22:16 GIANT PARKING GARAGE.
00:22:17 MY HOPE IS ONCE SOUTH OF GANDY FIGURES OUT THE
00:22:20 TRANSPORTATION SITUATION WITH THE TOLL TROLLEY OR SOMETHING
00:22:24 THAT GIANT SURFACE LOT WILL BE CONVERTED INTO MORE HOUSING.
00:22:30 I THINK EVENTUALLY WIN COMPARED TO SOME OF THESE OTHER
00:22:33 PROJECTS, GIANT PARKING GARAGES THAT TAKE UP LAND THAT
00:22:36 SHOULD BE HOUSING.
00:22:37 MY ONLY ISSUE WITH THIS PROJECT A LITTLE BIT IS I KNOW
00:22:41 THERE'S A RAIL LINE THERE, AND SHE MENTIONED STREETCAR.
00:22:44 I KNOW THAT WE ARE VERY FAR AWAY FROM HAVING A SERIOUS
00:22:47 CONVERSATION ABOUT RAIL, ESPECIALLY RAIL STOPPING THERE, OF
00:22:50 ALL PLACES IN SOUTH TAMPA, I DON'T THINK IT WOULD STOP
00:22:52 THERE, BUT THERE IS RAIL THERE, AND I AM JUST CURIOUS WHAT
00:22:55 WILL HAPPEN TO THAT, WHETHER THAT RIGHT-OF-WAY WILL BE
00:22:57 PRESERVED AND THERE WILL NEVER BE HOPE OF HAVING A RAIL
00:23:04 STOP, LIGHT RAIL OR LOCAL TRANSIT OPTION THERE BECAUSE OF
00:23:10 THIS.
00:23:10 THAT'S REALLY MY ONLY ISSUE WITH THIS AT ALL.
00:23:14 I HOPE TO GET MORE DENSITY IN THE FUTURE AND I UNDERSTAND
00:23:17 TRANSPORTATION IS A BARRIER.
00:23:18 SO THANK YOU TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SAY YES TO THE PROJECT.
00:23:23 >> WHO DOO DO WE HAVE ONLINE?
00:23:27 >>THE CLERK: WE HAVE JEAN STROHMEYER AND KALI DENAULT.
00:23:35 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ARE YOU WITH US?
00:23:37 >> I AM.
00:23:39 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:23:40 MS. DENAULT, CAN YOU BE SWORN IN, PLEASE?
00:23:45 (OATH ADMINISTERED BY CLERK).
00:23:46 >> I DO.
00:23:49 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
00:23:50 PLEASE PROCEED.
00:23:51 >> MY NAME IS KALI DENAULT.
00:23:59 I MET WITH THE TEAM MANY TIMES.
00:24:01 AND WHILE THEIR FIRST PROPOSAL, THEY WERE SO WILLING TO
00:24:08 LISTEN TO THE ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK THAT WE HAD.
00:24:15 BUT NOT ASKING FOR ANY WAIVERS.
00:24:18 WE KNOW THAT HOUSING IS GOING TO CONTINUE IN OUR AREA AND
00:24:24 THIS PROJECT WITH ITS AMENITIES, THIS IS THE BEST THAT WE
00:24:28 ARE GOING TO SEE, AND IT'S A GOOD PROJECT.
00:24:30 IT'S GOING TO BRING POSITIVE CHANGE FOR THE COMMUNITY AND
00:24:33 AMENITIES THAT WE HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR, REDEVELOPMENT TO DO
00:24:36 THIS, AND THEY CAME TO US FIRST AND MADE SURE THEY HAD A
00:24:41 SOLID PLAN.
00:24:41 AND WE ASK THAT YOU ALLOW THIS TO MOVE FORWARD TONIGHT.
00:24:46 THANK YOU.
00:24:46 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
00:24:48 MS. STROHMEYER, ARE YOU ON THE LINE?
00:24:51 >> I AM HERE.
00:24:51 >>JOSEPH CITRO: AND I KNOW YOU WERE SWORN IN.
00:24:55 >> YES, I AM.
00:24:57 AND IT'S SO, SO LATE.
00:24:59 BUT REALLY QUICKLY BEFORE I START.
00:25:01 I AM GOING TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF ALL OF SOUTH OF GANDY, THAT
00:25:07 WE LOST A GREAT PERSON TODAY, LAST NIGHT, LISA CHESHIRE WHO
00:25:15 YOU ALL RECOGNIZED RECENTLY FOR HER TIRELESS EFFORTS IN THE
00:25:19 HOMELESS DOWN HERE.
00:25:22 SHE LOST HER LIFE TO CANCER.
00:25:24 I JUST WANT TO -- AGAIN SHE WAS JUST AN AWESOME PERSON AND
00:25:30 SHE HELPED OUT DOWN THERE WITH THE HOMELESS, AND WAS JUST AN
00:25:35 AMAZING INDIVIDUAL, AND WE ARE GOING TO MISS HER A LOT.
00:25:38 I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT.
00:25:46 OKAY.
00:25:46 SO WITH THAT SAID, OKAY, BACK TO THE SUBJECT.
00:25:56 I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A SPEECH OR ANYTHING PLANNED LIKE THAT
00:25:59 BUT I DID LISTEN FOR THE SIX, SEVEN HOURS TODAY, AND SPOKE
00:26:03 UP, OBVIOUSLY A FEW TIMES.
00:26:06 MY NAME IS JEAN STROBMEYER.
00:26:08 I HAVE BEEN HERE IN MY HOUSE FOR 30 YEARS IN GANDY.
00:26:15 THERE'S A FEW THINGS I TOOK FROM SOME OF THE SPEECHES FROM
00:26:18 THE EARLIER HARBOR ISLAND ISSUE, AND JUST --
00:26:27 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MS. STROHMEYER, I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT.
00:26:30 MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY.
00:26:33 THAT'S A DIFFERENT HEARING ON A DIFFERENT SUBJECT AND IT'S
00:26:35 STILL PENDING.
00:26:36 MY SUGGESTION IS YOU SPEAK TO THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT,
00:26:38 PLEASE, AND DON'T REFERENCE --
00:26:41 >> OKAY, THANK YOU.
00:26:42 BUT I AM SPEAKING IN GENERAL TERMS, AND IN GENERAL TERMS, IT
00:26:52 WAS JUST GENERAL TERMS, IT WASN'T SPECIFICALLY.
00:26:56 IS IT OKAY TO BRING UP JUST A GENERAL STATEMENT THAT
00:26:58 SOMEBODY SAID?
00:27:00 SO IT WASN'T REALLY SPEAKING --
00:27:03 >>MARTIN SHELBY: BUT THE QUESTION IS, IF YOU CAN ADDRESS
00:27:06 THE SUBSTANCE OF THIS HEARING AS OPPOSED TO REFERENCING
00:27:11 ANOTHER HEARING.
00:27:13 >> OKAY.
00:27:14 SO, YEAH, I GUESS SO.
00:27:20 SO I WAS JUST MAKING COMPARISONS.
00:27:23 SO THE COMPARISONS THAT I WAS MAKING, WELL, IF YOU DON'T
00:27:28 WANT ME TO BE BRING THAT UP, IT WILL BE FINE.
00:27:30 THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPER CAME TO US AFTER SEEING THE
00:27:39 FLUEDRA THAT WE WENT THROUGH MULTIPLE TIMES AND THIS
00:27:43 PARTICULAR DEVELOPER CAME TO ALL OF SOUTH OF GANDY BECAUSE
00:27:46 IT AFFECTS US, SO WE ARE NOT ANTI-DEVELOPMENT.
00:27:51 WE WERE ANTI-SUPER DEVELOPMENT.
00:27:55 WE ARE PRO GOOD DEVELOPMENT.
00:27:57 WE KNOW WHAT RATTLESNAKE POINT WAS GOING TO BE HAPPENING
00:28:01 WITH THAT, AND THIS DEVELOPER CAME TO US AND WE SPEAK FOR A
00:28:05 VERY LONG TIME.
00:28:06 WE HAD MULTIPLE MEETINGS AND THEY DID LISTEN TO OUR
00:28:09 FEEDBACK, AND WE DEEPLY APPRECIATE THAT.
00:28:13 I GOT CUT OFF A FEW TIMES SO I THINK I SHOULD GET --
00:28:20 >> YOU HAVE 30 SECOND MORE.
00:28:21 >> FOR THOSE WHO SAY WE DON'T HAVE A DEFINITION OF WORKFORCE
00:28:24 HOUSING, I CAN SAY THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT AT
00:28:28 GANDY AND MANHATTAN THAT DEFINED WORKFORCE HOUSING WAS, AND
00:28:33 EVERYBODY WAS ALL FOR IT WHEN IT MEANT IT AT THAT LOCATION.
00:28:39 WE WERE BLOCKED ON THIS PROJECT MULTIPLE TIMES BY THE CITY,
00:28:44 AND WE REALLY ARE FOR THIS, AND WE ARE SUPPORTING THIS
00:28:48 PROJECT BECAUSE THEY HAVE DONE A LOT OF GOOD WORK.
00:28:51 THANK YOU.
00:28:51 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
00:28:54 IS THERE ANYONE ELSE ONLINE?
00:28:56 >>THE CLERK: THAT CONCLUDES OUR REGISTERED SPEAKERS.
00:28:58 >>JOSEPH CITRO: IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THIS ROOM THAT
00:29:00 WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO PUBLIC COMMENT?
00:29:03 MS. BATSEL.
00:29:04 >>ELISE BATSEL: YES, SIR, ELISE BATSEL FOR THE RECORD, JUST
00:29:11 TO ADDRESS SOME COMMENTS.
00:29:13 THE RAIL LINE WHEN THERE ARE NO MORE INDUSTRIAL USES WE JUST
00:29:18 TO MEDIATE THE FARES THAT THE DEVELOP WE ARE DO SOMETHING
00:29:21 ELSE.
00:29:21 THAT'S THE CSX RAIL LINE AND WE WOULD HOPE IT WOULD GO TO
00:29:26 EITHER TRANSIT OR SOME KIND OF TRAIL SYSTEM.
00:29:30 BUT AGAIN WE DON'T OWN THAT PROPERTY.
00:29:33 THE SECOND THING IS, I WASN'T THINKING ABOUT THE ENFORCEMENT
00:29:37 OF THE WORKFORCE HOUSING.
00:29:39 WE DID INCORPORATE THAT INTO OUR PROJECT BACK IN MARCH AND
00:29:41 DID DISCUSS IT WITH STAFF, BUT I SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT
00:29:45 THE ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM WHICH I DID NOT DO, SO I WILL
00:29:48 REACH OUT AND TRY TO COME UP BETWEEN FIRST AN SECOND READING
00:29:51 WITH SOMETHING THAT MAKES THE CITY COMFORTABLE FROM AN
00:29:54 ENFORCEMENT PERSPECTIVE IF WE CAN COME UP WITH THAT.
00:29:56 AGAIN WE ARE NOT TALKING AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
00:29:59 WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WORKFORCE HOUSING WHICH ISN'T THE SAME,
00:30:01 IT ISN'T DEFINED AS WELL, BUT I WILL WORK ON THAT.
00:30:04 THANK YOU.
00:30:05 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCILMAN
00:30:11 MANISCALCO.
00:30:14 SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN VIERA.
00:30:16 ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

00:31:19 >>ELISE BATSEL: THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
00:31:23 >> GOOD NIGHT.
00:31:40 >>JOSEPH CITRO: GOOD NIGHT, MS. STROHMEYER.
00:32:06 NEXT ON OUR AGENDA IS 15, REZ 22-12.
00:32:21 MS. BARNES?
00:32:22 >>ANNIE BARNES: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
00:32:24 ITEM NUMBER 15 IS REZ 22-12.
00:32:29 THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO REZONE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1
00:32:32 TAMPA GENERAL CIRCLE AND 25 AS WELL AS 35 COLUMBIA DRIVE
00:32:36 FROM RS-60 AND PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR HOSPITAL AND
00:32:42 MEDICAL OFFICE USES.
00:32:44 I WILL TURN OVER THE PRESENTATION TO JENNIFER MALONE OF
00:32:48 PLANNING COMMISSION.
00:32:48 >>JENNIFER MALONE: THIS IS IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING
00:32:56 DISTRICT ON DAVIS ISLAND, WITHIN THE DAVIS ISLANDS URBAN
00:32:59 VILLAGE.
00:33:00 THE SITE IS OUTLINED IN -- ALONG BAYSHORE BOULEVARD, MEDICAL
00:33:09 OFFICES ON COLUMBIA DRIVE.
00:33:13 FUTURE LAND USE OF THE SITE IS PUBLIC SEMI-PUBLIC.
00:33:17 THIS CATEGORY DOES NOT HAVE A CAP ON DENSITY OR INTENSITY,
00:33:22 SO THE PLAN DOES DEVELOPMENTS TO REMAIN COMPATIBLE WITH THE
00:33:28 SURROUNDING AREA BUT THERE IS NO VERBIAGE TECHNICALLY.
00:33:33 THE EXTENSION IS ON THE NORTHWESTERN MOST PORTION OF THE
00:33:36 SITE.
00:33:37 SO WE DID FIND IT WAS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA.
00:33:42 IT'S THE FARTHEST AWAY FROM THE RESIDENCES ON DAVIS ISLAND
00:33:46 AND THAT WOULD MEAN FACING THIS HIGH-RISE RESIDENTIAL
00:33:50 PROJECTS ON BAYSHORE BOULEVARD.
00:33:53 I WOULD ALSO NOTE THAT IT IS IN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA
00:33:57 THAT THIS IS NOT INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF DEVELOPMENT UNITS
00:34:01 SO IT'S -- POLICY 1.2.2.
00:34:05 THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
00:34:07 AGAIN I AM ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS.
00:34:11 I TURN IT BACK OVER TO ANNIE.
00:34:13 >>ANNIE BARNES: I'LL SHARE MY SCREEN.
00:34:26 ANNIE BARNES, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION, AGAIN REZ 22-12,
00:34:31 REZONE FROM RS-60 AND PD TO PD FOR MEDICAL AND HOSPITAL
00:34:36 MEDICAL OFFICE AND HOSPITAL USES.
00:34:40 THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING ONE WAIVER.
00:34:44 SHOWN HERE IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY OF THE SURROUNDING
00:34:47 ZONING, RESIDENTIAL AND SOME COMMERCIAL IN THE AREA.
00:34:52 THIS IS A PORTION OF THE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT
00:34:57 SHOWING THE OVERALL LAYOUT OF THE SITE.
00:35:01 AS WELL AS EXISTING ELEVATIONS WITH PROPOSED ELEVATIONS.
00:35:09 AND THESE ARE ARCHITECTURES -- PICTURES TAKEN FROM THE SITE
00:35:14 VISIT OF THE HOSPITAL.

00:35:30 IF APPROVING THE APPLICATION.
00:35:34 THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
00:35:35 I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
00:35:36 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?
00:35:37 >> TRUETT GARDNER, I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF REPRESENTING TAMPA
00:35:47 GENERAL HOSPITAL.
00:35:48 WITH ME IS DUSTIN PASTEUR, SHIRLEY EGAN, RANDY COEN, AND HE
00:35:56 THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO BE HERE TO SHOW HIS RESPECT TO
00:35:59 COUNCIL.
00:35:59 WE HAVE A FULL PRESENTATION.
00:36:00 I AM GOING TO REDUCE IT DOWN TO A COUPLE OF SLIDES, AND THEN
00:36:05 DUSTIN HAS A MINUTE OR TWO AS WELL.
00:36:14 THIS IS TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL IN ITS INFANCY, 1928, AND AS
00:36:20 TAMPA HAS GROWN, SO HAS GROWN THE HOSPITAL.
00:36:24 THIS IS TODAY IN ITS CURRENT FORM.
00:36:27 AND WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR ZA IS NOT TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF
00:36:32 THE PROPERTY AT ALL BUT SOLELY RELATED TO THIS BUILDING
00:36:35 RIGHT HERE ALONG THE CHANNEL, CALLED THE BAYSHORE PAVILION
00:36:40 BUILDING.
00:36:41 AS ANNIE SHOWED, AGAIN THAT'S THE BAYSHORE PAVILION AND
00:36:46 BIRD'S-EYE VIEW, AND OUR PROPOSAL IS TO GO UP FOUR STORIES
00:36:50 THERE, AND AS IT RELATES TO DEPARTMENTS FOUND IT TO BE FULLY
00:36:59 SQUINT.
00:36:59 WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT OVER TO DUSTIN TO TALK ABOUT THEIR
00:37:02 NEEDS.
00:37:02 >>DUSTIN PASTEUR: GOOD MORNING.
00:37:08 HAPPY FRIDAY.
00:37:10 JUSTIN PASTEUR, SENIOR DIRECTOR OF DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION,
00:37:14 AN ARCHITECT FOR THE HOSPITAL.
00:37:17 THIS IS THE BUILDING IN QUESTION, AS TRUETT POINTED OUT.
00:37:20 WE ARE PROPOSING TO ADD FOUR STORIES VERTICALLY ON THIS
00:37:24 BUILDING.
00:37:24 IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE BUILDING WAS BUILT IN 2006 AND IT WAS
00:37:27 DESIGNED FOR THIS EXPANSION, SO THIS IS ALWAYS PART OF OUR
00:37:32 PLAN BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE IN OUR PD AND
00:37:35 THAT'S WHAT WE ARE HERE ASKING FOR.
00:37:37 THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT WE ARE
00:37:40 PROPOSING.
00:37:42 WE ARE ASKING FOR THREE FLOORS OF PATIENT CARE, TWO OF THOSE
00:37:47 FLOORS WILL BE BED UNITS, 50 BEDS PER FLOOR.
00:37:52 THE ACUITY ADAPTIVE COULD BE ICU, MED SURGE LEVEL, CAN
00:37:57 CHANGE THEM OVER TIME AS OUR NEEDS CHANGE, AND THEN THE TOP
00:38:00 FLOOR WOULD BE AN OPERATING SUITE.
00:38:03 THEN ON THE ROOF OF THAT WE HAVE AN EDUCATION SPACE AND A
00:38:05 PENTHOUSE.
00:38:07 TOTAL IS ABOUT 265,000 SQUARE FEET, $240 MILLION PROJECT, OR
00:38:13 IT WAS A COUPLE YEARS AGO BEFORE ALL THE INFLATION.
00:38:20 VERY QUICKLY, JUST THE NEED, MOST OF THE COUNTRY HAS
00:38:24 ACTUALLY SHOWN A REDUCTION IN HOSPITAL USES, AS PROCEDURES
00:38:28 ARE BEING DONE IN OUTPATIENT SETTINGS.
00:38:31 HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY IS ONE OF THE FEW COUNTIES IN THE WHOLE
00:38:34 COUNTRY SHOWING A GROWTH IN POPULATION AND THUS THE GROWTH
00:38:37 IN HOSPITAL USAGE AND THIS GRAPH WHICH IS HARD TO READ IS
00:38:42 BASICALLY SAYING THAT'S OCCURRING IN EVERY AGE GROUP IN
00:38:45 HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, AND THAT'S BEEN AFFECTING US FOR MANY
00:38:47 YEARS.
00:38:47 WE USED TO HAVE WHAT IS CALLED SEASONALITY, AND CENSUS WHERE
00:38:51 WE WOULD HAVE HIGH SEASONS AND LOW SEASONS OF BED USAGE.
00:38:55 WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT FOR FIVE YEARS.
00:38:57 WE HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY FULL FOR THAT TIME AND SINCE COVID
00:38:59 HAS BEEN EVEN WORSE.
00:39:03 THIS IS JUST A CHART SHOWING WE HAVE 1040 BEDS TODAY.
00:39:08 WE JUST ADDED 32 BEDS EARLIER THIS YEAR TO HELP THIS
00:39:13 DEFICIT.
00:39:14 THERE'S THREE DIFFERENT ADVISORY BOARDS. BASICALLY THEY ALL
00:39:17 SAY WE NEED BETWEEN 150 AND 250 BEDS OVER THE NEXT TEN
00:39:20 YEARS.
00:39:20 WE BUILT 32.
00:39:21 THIS IS WILL GIVE US 100 MORE SO A LOT CLOSER TO THAT GOAL.
00:39:25 AND THEN IN THE SAME VEIN, THE PROJECTIONS SHOW WE NEED TEN
00:39:30 MORE OPERATING ROOMS THAN WE HAVE TODAY, AND THIS WOULD ADD
00:39:33 12.
00:39:33 SO THAT WOULD GIVE US FUTURE GROWTH.
00:39:37 I THINK THE MAIN COMMENTS THAT I WANTED TO ADDRESS, WE MET
00:39:40 WITH THE DAVIS ISLAND CIVIC ASSOCIATION A FEW TIMES, AND WE
00:39:43 MET WITH BAYSHORE WHICH IS THE CONDO BUILDING DIRECTLY
00:39:47 ACROSS THE CHANNEL FROM US.
00:39:49 SOME OF THE MAIN CONCERNS WERE TRAFFIC, OF COURSE, ON THE
00:39:52 ISLAND.
00:39:53 RANDY COEN IS HERE TO SPEAK ON TRAFFIC IF YOU HAVE
00:39:56 QUESTIONS, BUT RANDY RAN A STUDY, AND IT REALLY SHOWS NO
00:40:01 REAL CHANGE TO OUR TRAFFIC COUNT, MINIMAL IMPACT, BECAUSE WE
00:40:04 CAN'T ADD ANY MORE PARKING TO OUR SITE.
00:40:07 WE ARE MAXED OUT ON PARKING.
00:40:10 YOU GUYS MAY HAVE SEEN OUR PARKING GARAGE.
00:40:12 WE BUILT A NEW CENTER ACROSS FROM U.T. WHERE A THOUSAND OF
00:40:17 OUR STAFF MEMBERS PARK EVERY DAY.
00:40:19 THE EXTRA PATIENTS THAT COME ONTO THE PROPERTY FOR THIS
00:40:21 EXPANSION WILL PARK IN THE GARAGE ON CAMPUS, AND THAT NUMBER
00:40:23 OF STAFF WILL MOVE TO THAT GARAGE ON-SITE, SO THE ONLY
00:40:29 TRAFFIC IMPACT IS OUR BUSES THAT GO BACK AND FORTH EVERY
00:40:31 DAY.
00:40:32 WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE A COUPLE MORE TRIPS BUT THAT WON'T
00:40:35 INVOLVE CAR TRIPS BECAUSE THERE'S NOWHERE ELSE TO PUT CARS
00:40:39 ON THE PROPERTY.
00:40:39 THE OTHER MAIN CONCERN WAS THE SEAWALL AND THE PUBLIC PARK
00:40:42 WE HAVE AROUND OUR PERIMETER WILL BE THERE WHEN THE PROJECT
00:40:46 IS OVER.
00:40:47 WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE ONE OF THEM DURING THE PROJECT AND WE
00:40:50 WILL REBUILD IT AFTERWARD, AND THE COMMUNITY IS HAPPY WITH
00:40:55 THAT.
00:40:55 I THINK THE LAST POINT IS THAT WE WILL USE THESE BEDS TO
00:40:59 HELP EXPAND OUR CAPACITY, BUT WE DETERMINE THAT THESE BEDS
00:41:06 WILL PRIMARILY SUPPORT OUR TRANSPLANT PROGRAM WHICH IS THE
00:41:09 SECOND BUSIEST TRANSPLANT PROGRAM IN AMERICA, AND
00:41:13 NEUROSCIENCES INSTITUTE WHICH IS A WORLD CLASS INSTITUTE
00:41:17 THAT WE DO JOINTLY WITH USF.
00:41:19 SO THESE WILL BE VERY HIGH ACUITY PATIENT BEDS THAT ARE
00:41:23 DESPERATELY NEEDED AND WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR APPROVAL AND
00:41:27 WE ARE HERE FOR QUESTIONS.
00:41:29 THANK YOU.
00:41:29 >>JOSEPH CITRO: ANY QUESTIONS OF THE PETITIONER?
00:41:35 I JUST HAVE ONE.
00:41:37 I SAW ON THE PLANS THAT YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE HELIPORT ON
00:41:40 THE TOP OF THIS.
00:41:44 DOES THAT MEAN THAT THE HELIPORT ON GROUND LEVEL WILL BE
00:41:47 DISCONTINUED?
00:41:49 >> NO, WE ELIMINATED THE HELIPORT ON THE ROOF MOSTLY BECAUSE
00:41:53 WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AN EDUCATION SPACE UP THERE, SO
00:41:56 HELICOPTER LANDING NEXT TO IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T WORK OUT,
00:42:00 AND WE ARE GOING TO LEAVE THE HELIPAD ON THE GROUND LEVEL
00:42:04 WHERE IT IS NOW, AND IF WE EVER WERE TO ADDRESS THAT IN THE
00:42:08 FUTURE --
00:42:13 >> ARE THERE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT MORE ECHOING OF THE
00:42:16 HELICOPTERS?
00:42:19 >>DUSTIN PASTEUR: THIS BUILDING IS ALREADY A SIX STORY
00:42:21 BUILDING, SEVEN STORIES WITH THE PENTHOUSES, AND THIS WILL
00:42:25 ADD FOUR STORIES TO IT, BUT IT ACTUALLY WON'T BE ANY
00:42:28 SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THE TALLEST BUILDING ON CAMPUS
00:42:31 NOW, WHICH IS THE BRICK WEST PAVILION THAT YOU CAN SEE.
00:42:35 THIS BUILDING WILL SHIELD THE VIEW OF THAT BUILDING SO MAKE
00:42:38 A NICER FACE.
00:42:39 IT WILL BE GENERALLY THE SAME HEIGHT, MIGHT BE 10 OR 15 FEET
00:42:43 TALLER, BUT AT 10 STORIES THAT'S A MINIMAL DIFFERENCE.
00:42:46 SO THE AMOUNT OF BUILDING THAT'S THERE TO REFLECT THAT SOUND
00:42:50 TODAY AND ESSENTIALLY THE SAME HEIGHT AS WHAT WE WILL BE
00:42:52 BUILDING ON THIS BUILDING.
00:42:54 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
00:42:54 ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
00:42:57 THANK YOU.
00:42:57 IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT?
00:43:03 I SEE WE HAVE ONE PERSON ONLINE.
00:43:06 >>THE CLERK: SANDRA MURMAN, BUT SHE'S NOT LOGGED ON.
00:43:10 >>JOSEPH CITRO: COMMISSIONER MURMAN?
00:43:12 SHE'S NOT LOGGED ON?
00:43:13 >> COULD JOHN MAKE A COMMENT BEFORE WE GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT?
00:43:21 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES, PLEASE.
00:43:23 >> JOHN COURIS, THE PRESIDENT AND CEO OF TAMPA GENERAL
00:43:27 HOSPITAL.
00:43:27 I WANTED TO COME TONIGHT, AS TRUETT SAID, TO SHOW SOME REAL
00:43:32 RESPECT FOR ALL OF YOU BUT ALSO OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS
00:43:35 CITY RUNS VERY DEEP.
00:43:37 THE TEAM AT TAMPA GENERAL IS VERY PROUD OF THE RELATIONSHIP
00:43:40 WE HAVE WITH THE CITY.
00:43:42 WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
00:43:44 COVID HAS BEEN A DIFFICULT COUPLE OF YEARS.
00:43:48 THIS EXPANSION IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT NOT JUST TO TAMPA
00:43:51 GENERAL BUT TO THE CITY OF TAMPA, INTO OUR REGION AND TO THE
00:43:55 STATE OF FLORIDA.
00:43:56 FIRST AND FOREMOST, WE ARE THE CITY'S HOSPITAL, WE ARE THE
00:44:00 REGION'S HOSPITAL, BUT ALSO THE STATE OF FLORIDA'S HOSPITAL,
00:44:03 WHICH OUR ACADEMIC PARTNERSHIP WITH USF, MORSANI COLLEGE OF
00:44:09 MEDICINE, WE ARE EXPANDING, GROWING, AND THAT IS GOOD FOR
00:44:11 THE REGION, GOOD FOR THE CITY, GOOD FOR THE STATE.
00:44:15 ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE TEAM I WANTED TO ADDRESS ALL OF YOU.
00:44:18 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
