IT SAID I AM COMING DOWN TONIGHT TO SPEAK ON THE ITEM.

I HOPE I DON'T GET MOBBED.

SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

A SCREEN SHOT IS THERE.

MIRANDA.

17:11:29 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:

THEM TO SEND ME AN ADDRESS THAT I HAVE TO MAIL A

PACKAGE FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

I HAVEN'T SEEN IT.

WOULD BE IF YOU CAN JUST E-MAIL THAT TO THE CITY E-MAIL

SYSTEM PRESERVED AS A PUBLIC RECORD, PLEASE.

17:12:59 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ALSO IN FULL DISCLOSURE, I RECEIVED A

MESSAGE FROM MR. JIMMY CLARK STATING HE WOULD BE DOWN

HERE TONIGHT IN SUPPORT OF THE HOTEL.

AND I HAVE TAKEN SCREEN SHOTS OF THAT.

SENT THEM TO MY E-MAIL JUST IN CASE ANYBODY ASKS FOR

THEM.

17:13:13 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
IF I CAN, MR. CHAIRMAN.

JUST A REMINDER TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT DURING

THE COURSE OF THE HEARING, PLEASE DO NOT COMMUNICATE BY

TEXT OR BY E-MAIL TO THE CITY COUNCILMEMBERS DURING THE

COURSE OF THE HEARING.

EVERYTHING THAT HAS TO BE DECIDED HAS TO BE BASED ON

COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IN THE RECORD AND THINGS

HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY DISCLOSED AND I ASK THAT YOU

PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF THAT FOR THOSE PEOPLE ESPECIALLY

AT HOME AS WELL.

AND COUNCIL, JUST A REMINDER, IF EVERYTHING SHOULD COME

IN THAT YOU PLEASE IGNORE IT.

IF YOU HAPPEN TO READS IT OR SEE IT, THAT YOU DISCLOSE

IT DURING THE HEARING.

THANK YOU.

17:13:50 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
JUST TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT WE ARE

GOING TO BE OPENING ITEMS -- AGENDA ITEMS NUMBER 2 AND

3 TOGETHER.

THOSE FILE NUMBER DRI 22-72367 AND FILE NUMBER

REZ-21-52.

SO THEY WILL BE HEARD TOGETHER.

MISS BARNES.

17:14:16 >>ANNIE BARNES:
ANNIE BARNES, LANDS DEVELOPMENT

COORDINATION.

17:14:22 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
SORRY, MISS BARNES, PLEASE FORGIVE ME.

ANYONE WHO IS GOING TO BE GIVING ANY TYPE OF EVIDENCE

TONIGHT OR IS GOING TO BE SPEAKING TONIGHT, WOULD YOU

PLEASE STAND, RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND BE SWORN IN.

SO IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE SPEAKING AND GIVING COMMENTS

TONIGHT -- [SWEARING IN]

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

UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE ON THE SECOND FLOOR AS WELL.

SO I HAVE POSTED A LITTLE SIGN OVER THERE ON THE

LECTERN THAT SAYS -- ASKING WERE YOU SWORN IN.

SO WHEN YOU COME UP TO SPEAK, AFTER YOU STATE YOUR

NAME, A REMINDER TO STATE OFF THIS BEEN SWORN IN, IF

YOU DON'T MIND.

THANK YOU.

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.

YES, MISS JOHNSON-VELEZ.

17:15:25 >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ:
SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ, CITY LEGAL

DEPARTMENT.

PROPOSAL FOR DRI.

BECAUSE COUNCIL DOESN'T SEE THEM THAT OFTEN, TWO OR

THREE IN THE TIME THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

I WANTED TO GIVE A REFRESHER WHAT A DEVELOPMENT OF

REGIONAL IMPACT IS, A CREATURE OF STATUTE THAT WAS

CREATED TO ADDRESS THE REVIEW AND PROCESSING OF LARGE

SCALE DEVELOPMENTS THAT EFFECT MORE THAN ONE COUNTY AND

A MIXED-USE PROJECT LIKE THE HARBOUR ISLAND PROJECT IS

A TYPICAL EXAMPLE OF THE TYPE OF PROJECT THAT WOULD

HAVE GOTTEN DRI REVIEW.

AND SO IT IS ALL -- IT IS ALL CONTROLLED BY FLORIDA

STATUTES AND THERE USED TO BE COORDINATION BETWEEN THE

REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO

COORDINATE ALL THE REVIEWING AGENCIES BOTH AT THE

STATE AND REGIONAL AND LOCAL LEVEL, BUT IN 2015 AND

2018, THE STATE LEGISLATURE PASSED SIGNIFICANT

LEGISLATION THAT VIRTUALLY ELIMINATED STATE AND

REGIONAL OVERSIGHT OF EXISTING DEVELOPMENTS OF REGIONAL

IMPACT AND TRANSFERRED THAT FOR IMPLEMENTING AND

APPROVING AMENDMENTS TO DRI DEVELOPMENT ORDERS TO LOCAL

GOVERNMENTS WHERE THE DROCHLTS LOCATED.

BECAUSE THE HARBOUR ISLAND DRI IS LOCATED IN THE CITY

OF TAMPA, THE CITY HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO IMPLEMENT

AND APPROVE ANY AMENDMENTS OR OPPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE

HARBOUR ISLAND DRI DEVELOPMENT ORDER.

THIS PARTICULAR REQUEST TO CHANGE TO THIS DRI IS

REQUESTING AN INCREASE IN ENTITLEMENTS UNDER THE

DEVELOPMENT ORDER TO PERMIT A MAXIMUM OF 150 HOTEL

ROOMS WITH ANCILLARY HOTEL USES AND 160 PARKING

SPACES.

SEEKING TO UPDATE MAP H TO REFLECT INCREASE IN

ENTITLEMENTS OF DETERMINATION DATE OF THE DEVELOPMENT

ORDER TO SEPTEMBER 22 ARE 2024, BASED ON EXTENSIONS

BASED ON THE STATUTORY RIGHT TO EXTEND, BASED ON

DECLARATION OF STATE OF EMERGENCY AND ALSO, IT IS

ASKING TO ELIMINATE THE REQUIREMENT FOR ANNUAL

REPORTING THAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER.

AND SO WITH THAT, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MISS BARNES TO

GIVE STAFF A PRESENTATION AND HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT

AND HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS OF THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER

AND NOTICE OF PROPOSED CHANGE THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

17:17:42 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANY QUESTIONS?

THANK YOU, MISS JOHNSON-VELEZ,

17:17:48 >>ANNIE BARNES:
ANNIE BARNES, LAND DEVELOPMENT.

I THINK STAFF STILL NEEDS TO SWEAR IN.

CAN WE BE SWORN IN, PLEASE.

17:17:54 >>CLERK:
[SWEARING IN]

THANK YOU.

17:18:10 >>ANNIE BARNES:
THANK YOU, ITEM NUMBER 3 IS REZ-21-52.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 800 SOUTH HARBOUR

ISLAND BOULEVARD.

THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM PD TO PD.

I WILL TURN THE PRESENTATION OVER TO THE PLANNING

COMMISSION AND AFTER THEIR PRESENTATION, I WILL

CONCLUDE MINE.

17:18:31 >>JENNIFER MALONE:
GOOD EVENING, JENNIFER MALONE WITH

THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

PARTICULAR HAVE PERMISSION -- THERE YOU GO -- TO SHARE

MY SCREEN.

SO AS ANNIE ALREADY OPENED UP, THERE IS 21-52.

IT IS LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT IN

HARBOUR ISLAND.

IT IS WITHIN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA AND

EVACUATION ZONE A.

THE SITE IS SERVED BY TRANSIT .4 MILES AWAY ON WATER

STREET.

AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE.

WE HAVE -- THIS IS HARBOUR ISLAND.

THERE IS A NUMBER OF HIGH-RISE DEVELOPMENTS RIGHT

ACROSS THE STREET, ACROSS THE AVENUE AND AT THE CORNER

OF KNIGHT'S RUN AND SOUTH BENEFICIAL TO THE EAST OF THE

SITE THE JACKSON AND AMERICAN SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT TO THE

NORTH.

THERE IS A HARBOUR ISLAND ATHLETIC CLUB TO THE EAST.

AND A LOT OF -- A LOT OF HOUSE TOGETHER SOUTH OF THE

SUBJECT SITE AND VARIETY OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOUSING

ATTACHED, DETACHED, AND SOME CONDO, TOWN HOME-STYLE

HOUSING.

OF COURSE WE HAVE WATER STREET DIRECTLY TO THE NORTH

OFF OF THE ISLAND.

SO THIS IS THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

THE ENTIRE HARBOUR ISLAND IS REGIONAL MIXED USE-100.

AND YOU WILL HEAR A LOT OF THE PLANNING EFFORTS THAT

HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE FOR HARBOUR ISLAND THROUGHOUT

THE YEARS ARE.

THAT THE COMP PLAN DES ANYTHING THAT IT $AS REGIONAL

MIXED USE-100.

AND THE WHOLE ISLAND IS PLANNED FOR HIGH INTENSITY

MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT.

DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE DEVELOPMENT HAS TO BE MIXED USE

AS I AM SURE YOU ALL KNOW, THAT MEANS A MIX OF USES.

AND WE HAVE SEEN THAT ON HARBOUR ISLAND AS IT IS DIRECT

$THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WITH A MIXTURE OF DIFFERENT TYPE

OF USES LIKE OFFICES, RESIDENTIAL, SOME RESTAURANTS,

ETC.

WE DID FIND THAT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WAS

CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOES NOT REGULATE HEIGHT AND PRO

STRIDES A GUIDELINES.

IN THE REGIONAL MIXED USE RESIDENTIAL USE CATEGORY,

DEVELOPMENTS CAN BE TYPICALLY UP TO 24 STORIES.

THE HEIGHT OF 12 STORIES WAS FOUND TO BE CONSISTENT

WITH THE PLAN AND FOUND COMPATIBLE WHAT IS DIRECTLY TO

ITS NORTH AND NORTHEAST.

WE ALSO FOUND THAT IT WAS FURTHERING THE MIXED USE

POLICY DIRECTION BY PROVIDING PEDESTRIAN ENTRANCE ALONG

KNIGHTS RUN AVENUE THAT CONNECTS TO A PUBLIC SIDEWALK.

WE FOUND THAT THE INTEGRATED PARKING GARAGE THE

APPLICANT SAID SCREENED WITH 80% CAPACITY CONSISTENT

WITH OTHER POLICIES IN THE PLAN OF ARCHITECTURALLY

SCREENING PARKING GARAGES.

I WANT TO NOTE FOR THE RECORD IT IS LOCATED WITHIN THE

COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA AND THE PROPOSED PD IS

COMMERCIAL IN NATURE.

DOES NOT INCREASE THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS AND

THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS NOT SUBJECT TO 1.2.2.

SO OVERALL, THE PLANNING COMMISSION DID FIND THAT THE

PROPOSED REZONING IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE

SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD AND CONSISTENT WITH THAT

UNDERLYING FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.

I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER TO ANNIE, THANK YOU.

17:21:51 >>ANNIE BARNES:
CAN I PLEASE SHARE MY SCREEN.

AGAIN, BARNS WARNINGS, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.

FOR 800 SOUTH HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD.

THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE FROM PD TO PD AND A HOTEL WITH

ANCILLARY USES.

THE APPLICATION IS NOT REQUESTING ANY WAIVERS.

HERE IS PART OF THE COMPLETE SITE PLAN PACKAGE SHOWING

THE OVERALL LAYOUT OF THE SITE.

THE PROPOSED REZONING IS FOR 150-ROOM HOTEL.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE 158 PARKING SPACES

AND 160 PARKING SPACES ARE BEING PROVIDED.

SHOWN HERE IS ANOTHER AERIAL VIEW OF THE SUBJECT

PROPERTY.

A MIXTURE OF RESIDENTIAL USES IN THE SURROUNDING AREA

WITH COMMERCIAL USES UP TO THE NORTH.

THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES ARE ZONED PD AS WELL.

SHOWN HERE ARE THE NORTH AND EAST ELEVATIONS.

ALSO THE SOUTH AND WEST ELEVATIONS.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND PROPERTY EAST

OF THE SUBJECT SITE.

AS WELL AS PROPERTY NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND

NORTHWEST.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND CLIENT STAFF REVIEWED THE

PETITION CONSISTENT WITH THE APPLICABLE CITY OF TAMPA

LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE REGULATIONS.

SHOULD COUNCIL APPROVE THE REZONING PETITION, FURTHER

MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN MUST BE COMPLETED IN

BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING OF THE ORDINANCE AS

STATED ON THE REVISION SHEET.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

17:23:38 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?

HEARING NONE.

PETITIONER.

MR. SHELBY.

17:23:50 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
YES, MR. CHAIRMAN.

I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH MR. CREMER.

AND THERE ARE SOME -- THERE ARE SOME PROCEDURAL ISSUES

THAT CAME TO LIGHT AND I WAS WONDERING WHETHER PERHAPS

NOW IS THE TIME TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE ISSUES.

IF THERE IS A OPPORTUNITY FOR CROSS EXAMINATION, I

WANTED TO BRING THAT TO COUNCIL'S ATTENTION.

MR. CREMER, DO YOU WANT TO ADDRESS THAT NOW OR

DEPENDING ON HOW THINGS COME UP DURING THE HEARING.

17:24:30 >> JAKE CREMER FOR THE RECORD.

I HAVE BEEN SWORN.

MR. SHELBY AND I TALKED OF THE POSSIBILITY TO

CROSS-EXAMINE WITNESS IT IS NEEDED.

WHAT WE DISCUSSED IS IF ANY WITNESSES NEED TO BE

CROSS-EXAMINED THAT WILL OCCUR DIRECTLY AFTER THAT

WITNESS SPOKE.

17:24:47 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
THE REASON I BRING THAT UP, MR.

CHAIRMAN, IS WE DO HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE ONLINE.

AND I WOULD ASK THAT THE CLERK KEEP THOSE PEOPLE ONLINE

FOR THE PERIOD AFTERWARDS IN CASE MR. CREMER OR

ANYBODY ELSE WHO WOULD HAVE STAND WHO YOU WANT TO BE

ABLE TO CROSS-EXAMINE.

AND ALSO, THAT THE PEOPLE IN THE -- IN THE ROOM OR

DOWNSTAIRS WHEN THEY COME UP TO SPEAK, THEY ALSO REMAIN

AFTERWARDS IN CASES THERE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR

REQUIREMENT FOR CROSS EXAMINATION IN THIS CASE.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

17:25:20 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MR. SHELBY, IF I MAY ASK.

I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY OF LAW.

IF SOMEBODY IS GIVING A COMMENT, DOES THAT GIVE MR.

CREMER THE RIGHT TO CROSS-EXAMINE.

OR IF SOMEONE IS GIVEN COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL

EVIDENCE.

I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND MY POINT.

17:25:39 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
MR. CREMER WOULD BE TOO, NOT ON

SOMEBODY ELSE'S OPINION, UNLESS THEY WERE AN EXPERT.

17:25:47 >> CORRECT, IF SOMEONE IS AN EXPERT AND NOT PERSONAL

OPINION, YES, SIR.

17:25:49 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
UNDERSTOOD.

17:25:52 >> MR. CHAIR, JUST ANOTHER MATTER OF HOUSE KEEPING

SINCE THIS IS TWO HEARINGS.

I SEE MY TIMER SAYS 30 MINUTES.

I HOPE TO NOT TAKE THAT MUCH TIME, BUT IS THAT MY TIME

OR INTRODUCTION AND REBUTTAL ALL TOGETHER OR HOW ARE WE

GOING TO KEEP TIME TONIGHT?

17:26:09 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
WILL SHELBY.

17:26:13 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
WHAT WAS THAT?

BEING HEARD TOGETHER, I DON'T THINK THE DRI WILL TAKE

THAT MUCH TIME.

17:26:17 >> THAT'S CORRECT.

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.

AND 10 MINUTES TOTAL FOR REBUTTAL.

17:26:29 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
I FEEL THAT IS ALL RIGHT.

ANY OBJECTIONS TO THAT?

17:26:33 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
IF I MAY.

THAT IS FINE WITH ME, BUT THE OTHER SIDE -- THE

PETITIONER THEY ARE ALSO ENTITLED TO THE SAME AMOUNT.

17:26:46 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
IS THAT ALL RIGHT WITH YOU, MR.

CREMER?

17:26:49 >> I AM NOT SURE -- I KNOW THERE IS AT LEAST ONE

ATTORNEY HERE IN OPPOSITION.

I AM NOT SURE HOW MUCH TIME THAT THEY HAVE THROUGH

WAIVERS FOR THEIR ASSOCIATION.

SO I AM HAPPY TO GIVE THEM THE TIME THEY NEED.

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.

17:27:14 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ALL IN FAVOR.

ANY OPPOSED?

THANK YOU.

17:27:19 >> LAST MATTER OF HOUSEKEEPING, MR. CHAIR.

I PRESENTED SOME BINDERS AND ASK THAT THEY BE ENTERED

INTO THE RECORD.

THEY HAVE EXPERT REPORTS AND RESUMES.

17:27:28 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SO MOVED.

17:27:31 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.

SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN VIERA.

ANY OBJECTION?

17:27:37 >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.

IF WE CAN GO TO THE PRESENTATION PLEASE.

AGAIN, JAKE CREMER WITH STEARNS, WEAVER, MILLER, 401

EAST JACKSON STREET.

I HAVE BEEN SWORN.

WE ARE PROPOSING AN AC HOTEL BY MARRIOTT ON HARBOUR

ISLAND AS HEARD BY STAFF.

IT IS TO MIRROR THE CONTEXT OF DOWNTOWN AND HARBOUR

ISLAND.

WE PUT TOGETHER OUR TEAM VERY PURPOSELY, LIBERTY, THE

DEVELOPER, HAS EXPERIENCED DEVELOPING MARRIOTT AND A

HILTON IN DOWNTOWN.

ALL OF THE COMPANIES THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH ALSO HAVE

EXPERIENCE DEVELOPING HOTELS IN DOWNTOWN.

TONIGHT, WE ARE PROPOSING TO REDEVELOP AN OBSOLETE BANK

BUILDING WITH A UPSCALE LIFESTYLE HOTEL.

IN HAS BEEN AN 18-MONTH PROCESS, COUNCIL, AND INVOLVED

MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF COMMUNITY FEEDBACK.

REDUCED THE HOTEL FROM 15 TO 12 STORIES TO BE SHORTER

THAN THE ADJACENT OFFICE BUILDING.

WE COMPLETELY REDESIGNED THE HOTEL A FEW MONTHS AGO.

AND ADDED AN ANCILLARY ARTIST GALLERY IN THE CAFE AND

INTEGRATED ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES TO ACTIVATE THE

STREET AND PROTECT THE NEIGHBORS TO MAKE THE STREET

SAFER.

UNLIKE MANY PDS THAT YOU ALL SEE, WE HAVE REMOVED ALL

WAIVERS AND FULLY PARKED THIS BUILDING AT THE REQUEST

OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AGAIN, WE DID THIS BASED ON COMMUNITY FEEDBACK.

SO LET'S JUMP INTO THE CONTEXT.

WE ARE LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF HARBOUR ISLAND, AS

STAFF MENTIONED.

THE SITE IS LOCATED ABOUT A BLOCK FROM THE WESTIN HOTEL

WHICH IS ON HARBOUR ISLAND AND NORTH OF THE ATHLETIC

CLUB.

ALSO NORTH OF THE GATES FOR A GATED COMMUNITY ON THE

SOUTH SIDE OF HARBOUR ISLAND THAT YOU SEE IN RED AND

WILL BE IN RED IN THE NEXT SERIES OF SLIDES.

URBAN USES SURROUND THE SITE MAKING IT PRIME FOR

REDEVELOPMENT.

THIS IS REALLY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT INTERSECTION ON

HARBOUR ISLAND.

THE BANK BUILDING WAS BUILT 35 YEARS AGO AS THE

ORIGINAL SALES CENTER FOR HARBOR ISLAND.

IT IS OUTDATED AND GOING TO BE REPLACED AT SOME TIME.

THE ONLY QUESTION IS, WHAT?

WHAT WILL BE REPLACING IT.

THEN A SUNTRUST BANK AND THEN AN OFFICE BUILDING.

AS STAFF MENTIONED ALL WITHIN A DRI.

WHAT THAT MEANS THAT ALL OF ISLANDS WAS PLANNED

PURPOSELY BY STAFF, BY THE REGIONAL COUNCIL AND STATE

AGENCIES.

THEY ALL HAD INPUT.

THIS DRI IS WHY WE FILED A COMPANION NOTICE OF PROPOSED

CHANGE.

HARBOUR ISLAND IS THE FIRST MASTER PLAN MIXED USE

COMMUNITY IN TAMPA.

AS PLANNED, USES ARE MIXED THROUGHOUT THE ISLAND AND

NOT NECESSARILY BUILDING BY BUILDING.

FUNCTIONALLY, HARBOUR ISLAND IS AN EXTENSION OF

DOWNTOWN.

IT IS PART OF THE URBAN HEART AND URBAN CORE OF TAMPA.

OVERTIME THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ISLAND BEGAN TO REALIZE

THAT ORIGINAL VISION.

THE SOUTH BEHIND THE GATES DEVELOPED OUT AT MOST LOWER

DENSITIES THAN ORIGINALLY PLANNED.

SO TONIGHT IS REALLY A TALE OF TWO NEIGHBORHOODS.

YOU HAVE THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ISLAND WHERE THE SITE IS

LOCATED WHICH CONSISTS OF COMMERCIAL, HOTEL, OFFICE,

RETAIL AND VERY DENSE RESIDENTIAL.

THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ISLAND BEHIND THE GATES IS MIXED

DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

EVERYTHING FROM SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES EIGHT-STORY

RESIDENTIAL.

SOUTH SIDE IS AN EXCLUSIVE GATED ENCLAVE AND NOT OPEN

TO THE PUBLIC.

AS STAFF MENTIONED, THE SITE IS CURRENTLY ZONED FOR

BANK AND OFFICE USES.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ISLAND, THAT

COMMUNITY HAS ITS OWN SERIES OF PDS.

AND THE -- I THINK IT IS SIGNIFICANT THAT THE

BOUNDARIES OF THOSE PDS BASICALLY FOLLOW THE GATES.

FUTURE LAND USE FROM REGULATORY, THE ISLAND HAS THE

MOST INTENSE LANDS USE IN THE CITY OUTSIDE OF CDB.

THE SAME CATEGORY AS CHANNELSIDE.

THAT IS WHERE OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THAT IS THE TRAJECTORY FOR HARBOUR ISLAND.

RMU-100 ALLOWS HIGH RISE UP TO 24 STORIES AND KEEP IN

MIND WE ARE PROPOSING ONLY HALF THAT.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION NOTES THAT WE ARE IN A MIXED

USE CORRIDOR THAT ENCOURAGES TRANSIT AND CLOSE AND

WALKABLE TO THE TROLLEY AND WALKABLE TO THE CONVENTION

CENTER AND WALKABLE TO THE ARENA.

AS YOUR PROVISIONAL STAFF NOTES IN THEIR REPORT, THIS

HOTEL IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMP PLAN AND COMPATIBLE

WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

COMPATIBILITY IS NOT AN EYE OF THE BEHOLDER, COUNCIL.

IT SIMPLY MEANS THAT LAND USES CAN CO-EXIST OVER TIME

WITH EACH OTHER.

THEY WORK TOGETHER OVER TIME.

AND WHAT YOUR EXPERTS AND OURS -- EXPERT REPORT IN YOUR

BINDER WHAT THEY HAVE SAID THAT IS HAPPENING IN HARBOUR

ISLAND NOW WITH THE USES THAT ARE, THERE THAT ARE

PLANS, HOTELS, COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL, HIGH AND LOW

DENSITY.

WHAT THIS GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATES JUST THAT THAT THIS

BUILDING'S HEIGHT IS APPROPRIATE.

OVERALL, THERE ARE BUILDINGS TALLER THAN THIS PROJECT.

AND THERE ARE SEVEN BUILDINGS BETWEEN SEVEN AND 12

STORIES IN THE SAME RANGE OF THIS BUILDING.

INCLUDES TWO BUILDINGS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD SOUTH OF THE

GATE.

WHAT YOU WILL ALSO NOTE ON OUR SITE BLUE AND GREEN AS

OUR ARCHITECT WILL EXPLAIN.

THE BLUE IS THE TALLER PORTION OF THE BUILDING AS YOU

SEE IS PUSHED UP TOWARD THE MORE DENSE PART OF THE

ISLAND AND THE GREEN, THE BUILDING STEPS DOWN WHICH IS

FACING THE LESS DENSE -- LESS INTENSE PART OF THE

ISLAND.

NOW THE CURRENT ZONING OF THE ISLAND SOUTH OF THIS

BUILDING ALLOWS FOR BUILDINGS THAT ARE TALLER -- THE

ZONING ALLOWS FOR BUILDINGS UP TO 158 FEET AS OPPOSED

TO OUR 145.

SO THIS SHOWS -- THIS HELPS EMPHASIZE THE COMPATIBILITY

PICTURE.

IN READ THE EIGHT-STORY MULTIFAMILY IN THE SOUTH

NEIGHBORHOOD.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY ARE VERY CLOSE TO RESIDENTIAL.

140 FEET FROM SINGLE-FAMILY AND 132 FEET MULTIFAMILY.

THE HOTEL IS MUCH FURTHER AWAY 541 FEET FROM

SINGLE-FAMILY.

NOW AS I MENTIONED, WE HAD A LOT OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH.

PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST ROBUST COMMUNITY OUTREACH HE

BEEN INVOLVED IN A NUMBER OF YEARS ESPECIALLY WITH

COVID.

WE WORKED VERY HARD.

WE HAD A MEETING WITH THE MASTER ASSOCIATION HIX A.

WE HAD A PA MEETING WITH THE GROUP BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD

ASSOCIATION AND HAD A VIRTUAL COMMUNITY MEETING IN

JANUARY AND A IN-PERSON COMMUNITY MEETING THAT YOU SEE

THE PICTURES OF HERE IN APRIL.

AFTER THE FIRST COMMUNITY MEETING, WE COMPLETELY

DESIGNED THE ENTIRE PROJECT.

BY THAT, WE LITERALLY START ED WITH SQUARE ONE.

WE THREW OUT THE PLANS BASED ON THE COMMUNITY FEEDBACK

WE RECEIVED AND REDESIGNED THE ENTIRE PROJECT

INSIDE-OUT ALL THE WAY TO THE SITE PLAN.

UNTER I DON'T REMEMBER, EXTERIOR, EVERYTHING.

THESE ARE JUST -- REALLY THE TOP TEN CHANGES.

WE REDUCED THE FLOOR AREA RATIO, REDUCED THE BUILDING'S

SQUARE FOOTAGE.

REDUCED THE NUMBER OF GUEST ROOMS.

ELIMINATED ALL WAIVERS AND DESIGNED THE EXTERIOR AGAIN.

COMPLETELY ENCLOSED THE LOADING ZONE AND THE TRASH

COMPACTOR.

RETAINED THE HARBOUR ISLAND SIGNAGE AND ANNOUNCED A

HOTEL FLAG SO PEOPLE ARE GOING TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE

GOING TO GET.

THEN WE HAD A VERY SUCCESSFUL IN-PERSON COMMUNITY

MEETING LAST MONTH.

AS A RESULT OF THAT, WE TOOK THAT FEEDBACK AND TOOK

THREE STEPS.

THE FIRST IS WE HEARD A CONCERN THAT THE HOTEL RIGHT BE

OPEN TO PARKING BECAUSE IT IS A LITTLE BIT OVERPARKED.

THAT THE HOTEL MAY BE OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC FOR

PARKING.

AND BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING THAT PARK ALSO NOT

BE OPEN FOR A GENERAL PUBLIC.

SECOND CONCERN WE HAD IS PEOPLE ASKING FOR A LITTLE

MORE ACTIVATION OF THE GROUND FLOOR.

SO WHAT -- WHAT WE AGREED TO DO, WHAT WE HAVE COME UP

WITH IS INTEGRATE AN ARTIST GALLERY INTO THE FIRST

FLOOR LOBBY AND SPACES TO INTRODUCE TRAVELERS TO

TAMPA'S ART SCENE.

SO THAT THE SPACE CAN REALLY BE SORT OF AN INTIMATE

GATHERING SPACE.

COFFEE HOURS, NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS AND SO ON.

THE THIRD THING WE DID, WE HEARD CONCERNS OF TRAFFIC

FLOWS OFF OF THE ISLAND DURING SPECIAL EVENTS, LIKE

TONIGHT, RIGHT.

AND SO WHAT WE DID, IT IS NOT OUR PROBLEM THAT WE

DIDN'T CREATE IT.

BUT WE WENT TO TAMPA -- THE CITY OF TAMPA'S MOBILITY

STAFF AND HAD A CONVERSATION IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN

TO DO WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE PROGRESS ON THIS.

WHAT WE LEARNED FROM THAT YOUR STAFF IS ACTUALLY AHEAD

OF THE GAME.

THEY COMMISSIONED THE REPORT.

THE REPORT HAS DONE AND THEY ARE ANALYZING IT.

THE REPORT GIVES A DOZEN POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS TO THE

FRANKLIN STREET, HARBOUR ISLAND CORRIDOR.

PHYSICAL THINGS THAT CAN ACTUALLY BE DONE TO IMPROVE

THAT SITUATION.

MOBILITY STAFF AGREED THEY WILL THEY WILL LOOK AT THE

TIMING OF LIGHTS IN THE FRANKLIN STREET CORRIDOR TO SEE

IF THAT COULD HELP THE SITUATION DURING SPECIAL EVENTS.

WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO TURN THE PRESENTATION OVER

TO OUR ARCHITECT TO EXPLAIN THE CONTEXT OF THE BUILDING

AND SHOW YOU THE DESIGN.

17:37:21 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
MR. CHAIR.

SINCE MR. CREMER IS GOING TO SWITCH OVER AND SWITCH

GEARS, LET ME ASK A QUESTION.

17:37:28 >> YES, SIR.

17:37:30 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
YOU SAID THE HOTEL WILL NOT BE OPEN

TO THE PUBLIC.

IF YOU ARE A HOTEL, EXPLAIN THAT TO ME.

THE HOTEL IS NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

HOW DOES THAT WORK?

17:37:42 >> THE SPECIFIC CONCERN WE HEARD WAS THAT WHAT IF -- IF

THE PARKING IS JUST OPEN TO ANYONE, PEOPLE WHO MAY

WANT TO COME DOWN TO HARBOUR ISLAND AND CAN'T FIND

PARKING OTHERWISE MAY PARK IN THE BUILDING.

AND THE CONCERN WE HEARD WAS THAT, HEY, IF YOU WERE

GOING TO BE A HOTEL, IT SHOULD BE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO

HAVE A PURPOSE OF BEING THERE IN THAT SPACE.

AND SO WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO WITH THE PARKING IS --

YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE A PURPOSE.

YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE A REASON OF BEING IN THE BUILDING

OR BEING ASSOCIATED WITH THAT PROPERTY.

17:38:17 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I AM JUST WONDERING HOW YOU ARE GOING

TO CONTROL THAT.

17:38:25 >> THE PARK ALSO BE VALET SERVICE.

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

WILL USE THE PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU.

17:38:44 >> THANK YOU, JAKE.

MY NAME IS MICKEY JACOBS WITH MIDWOOD HILL ARCHITECT

AND THE DESIGN ARCHITECT FOR THE RECORD AND I HAVE BEEN

SWORN IN.

I WOULD LIKE TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE HOTEL.

WE DESIGNED IT.

WE ARE VERY PROUD OF IT.

WE HAVE THE ARCHITECTURAL SITE PLAN IN FRONT OF YOU.

I WANT TO START WITH THIS, BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE THE

COMMUNITY INTERACTS WITH THE BUILDING THE MOST ON THE

STREETSCAPE.

WE HAVE TAKEN GREAT CARE IN LOOKING HOW THE STREETSCAPE

EFFECTS IS GOING ON AROUND THE COMMUNITY.

I WANT TO POINT OUT FOUR DIFFERENT THINGS THAT I THINK

ARE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT.

ONE IS THE SIDEWALK AREA THAT WE ARE CREATED.

INTERACTIVE WIDE AREA.

WELL LIT.

CANOPIES FROM THE BUILDING.

AREAS FOR GATHERING.

AND WE ARE VERY EXCITED HOW THAT CONNECTS BOTH DOWN TO

THE SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD AND BACK INTO THE NORTH

NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THERE IS HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

SECONDLY, WE HAVE CREATED A PORTE COCHERE VALET PARKING

SO THE CAR ALSO COME IN.

THE GUESTS WILL COME IN BY AUTO OFF OF KNIGHT'S RUN

AVENUE AND TURN INTO A COVERED PORTE COCHERE AREA THAT

IS UNDERNEATH THE BUILDING CANOPY SO THE CARS HAVE

PRIVACY.

THE CARS ARE OUT OF VIEW AND SAFER AND OUT OF THE

ELEMENT OF THE GUESTS ARRIVING AT THE HOTEL.

THIRDLY, TAKING THE LOADING BERTHS AND LOADING DOCKS

AND MOVED THEM BACK INTO THE BUILDING SUBSTANTIALLY SO

THAT ANY DELIVERIES COMING IN THERE WILL BE DONE

UNDERNEATH THE CANOPY OF THE BUILDING.

NO TRUCKS WILL BE STICKING OUT WITH PUBLIC VIEW AND A

ROLLING DOOR IN FRONT OF IT WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE.

LASTLY AS JAKE MENTION, HOW WE REPURPOSED THE GROUND

FLOOR SPACE AND THE COMMUNITY WILL BE INVITED IN TO THE

SPACE ITSELF.

AS WE CONTINUE TO PROGRAM THAT SPACE.

I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE YOU FOR A WALK AROUND THE BUILDING

NOW.

THIS IS THE NORTH ELEVATION OFF OF KNIGHT'S RUN AVENUE.

THE BUILDING IS 145 FEET AT 12 STORIES.

A GROUND-FLOOR ACTIVATED SPACE, PUBLIC SPACE.

FOUR STORIES OF PARKING.

ONE STORY ABOVE OF AMENITY SPACE WHICH IS POOL.

AND SIX FLOORS OF GUEST ROOMS.

THE MATERIALS WILL BE A LOT OF THE MATERIALS YOU FIND

ALREADY IN HARBOUR ISLAND.

PRECAST PANELS, METAL PANELS, STONE AND A LOT OF GLASS.

BECAUSE TRANSPARENCY AT THIS HO-ZUHARS TELL IS

SOMETHING WE ARE LOOKING FOR BEING CONNECTED WITH THE

COMMUNITY BOTH LIGHT IN AND OUT.

ON THE FRONT, CREATED AN ENTRANCE PORTICO WHICH DEFINES

THE PUBLIC INPUT INTO THE BUILDING ITSELF, DIRECTLY

INTO THE SITE.

AS WE MOVE UP A BIT FROM THE VIEW FROM THE NORTHWEST

CORNER WE WANT TO POINT OUT HOW THE PUBLIC SPACE ON THE

SIDEWALK WORKS.

YOU CAN SEE IT A LITTLE BITTER BEYOND THE WORDS THAT

ARE ON THE SCREEN.

HOWEVER, IT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO DO

WITH THAT, WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS CREATE

OPPORTUNITIES AND PROMOTE UNINTENDED SOCIAL COLLISIONS

THAT HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE OUT WALKING IN THE

NEIGHBORHOOD, AND BEING AN AREA THAT IS WIDE AND AREA

THAT IS WELL LIT, AN AREA THAT HAS A LOT OF SPACE.

WE BELIEVE THAT THAT WILL PROMOTE THAT.

AS WE DRAW CLOSE NEITHER BUILDING LOOKING FROM THE STOP

SIGN AT KNIGHT'S RUN IN SOUTH HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD,

I WANTED TO POINT OUT THE VERTICAL ELEMENT AT THE

CORNER OF THE BUILDING WHICH IS THE ARCHITECTURAL ICON.

WE WANT THAT BE THE BEACON THAT WILL BE RECOGNIZABLE.

AT NIGHT SUBTLELY LIT AND REPRESENTS WHAT IS A LOVELY

ARCHITECTURAL ICON THAT WILL BE RECOGNIZABLE NOR THE

BUILDING AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD ITSELF.

ADDITIONALLY WE ARE ADDING UNIQUE SPACES LIKE THIS ONE

ABOVE THE MAIN ENTRY FROM THE PEDESTRIAN.

AN OUTDOOR CAFE SPACE.

IT WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ANYBODY WILL BE ABLE TO

GO IN THERE AND GET A COOL DRINK AND COCKTAIL AND SIT

OUTSIDE ON THIS BALCONY SPACE AND ENJOY THE ELEMENTS

AND VIEWS IN THIS WONDERFUL NEIGHBORHOOD.

AS WE MOVE AROUND TO THE EAST SIDE ELEVATION, ONE OF

THE THINGS WE REALLY TRIED TO KEY ON WAS A VARIETY OF

DEPTHS ON THE ELEVATION TO CREATE VIRTUAL INTEREST IN

UNIQUE SHADOWS.

WE DID NOT WANT TO HAVE A FLAT BUILDING, BUT ONE THAT

IS REALLY UNIQUE WHAT IS GOING ON HARBOUR ISLAND AT

THIS POINT IN TIME.

CREATED AN ENTRY PORTICO WHERE WE HAVE A MAIN

ENTRANCE.

ABOVE THAT PORTICO, WE WILL COMMIT DOING PUBLIC HA ART

TO SUPPORT THE CITY OF TAMPA PUBLIC ARTS PROGRAM.

AS WE MOVE OUT A LITTLE BIT FROM IT, WE CAN SEE THE

GUEST ENTRY OFF OF KNIGHT'S RUN.

IT GOES INTO AN OPENING THAT IS -- WITH CANOPIES OVER

TOP OF IT WHERE THE VEHICLES GO UNDERNEATH THE BUILDING

ITSELF.

ALSO WE ADDED A NUMBER OF TREES DOWN IN THE PEDESTRIAN

AREA AND AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE BUILDING FOR MORE

SHADED OPPORTUNITIES WHERE PEDESTRIANS ARE GOING.

AS WE CLOSE IN CLOSER ON THAT.

WE CAN SEE WHERE WE COME INTO THE VALET.

THAT AREA OF THE BUILDING IS COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT

WITH GLASS.

IN AND OUT.

SEE IN, SEE OUT WITH IT AT ALL TIMES THAT MAKES IT A

LOT EASIER FOR GUESTS.

BUT TO THE LEFT, YOU CAN SEE UNDERNEATH THE PUBLIC ART

A LARGE CANOPY.

THE CANOPY FOR RIDE SHARES.

WE THOUGHT CIRCULATION ON THE SITE SO PEOPLE CAN WALK

ACROSS THE VALET AREA AND DIRECTLY INTO THEIR RIDE

SHARE WHICH IS ALSO OVER COVER FROM THE ELEMENTS.

AS WE GO TO THE SOUTH ELEVATION, THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE

THE ENTRY INTO THE LOADING DOCK AREA.

AS MENTIONED THE LOADING DOCK -- THE FRONT OF THE

LOADING DOCK IS SUBSTANTIALLY SUCH WAITED UNDERNEATH

THE BUILDING ITSELF AND WE WANTED TO DO THAT TO KEEP

EVERYTHING OUT OF VIEW OF ANY KIND OF DELIVERY

VEHICLES.

ADDITIONALLY, AS YOU CAN DOWN ON THE CORNER DOWN TO

THAT ON THE LEFT, ALL -- ANY VEHICLES COMING IN THERE

WILL DO THE MANUEVERING WITHIN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY OF THE

SITE WITH US AND ADJACENTLY TO THE HARBOUR ISLAND

ATHLETIC CLUB.

ALSO WE WILL HAVE A COMMERCIAL COMPACTOR IN THERE THAT

WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF REQUIRED VISITS OF SOLID

WASTE VEHICLES.

AS WE MOVE TO THE WEST ELEVATION, THIS IS THE ELEVATION

THAT WILL PROBABLY BE MOST USED BY THE RESIDENTIAL

NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE ARE REALLY LOOKING AT HOW WE DO VERTICAL

TRANSPARENCY HERE WITH HORIZONTAL ELEMENTS WITHIN THAT

ITSELF AND REALLY CREATE A NEIGHBORHOOD AND I HAVE BEEN

TOLD I HAVE GOT TO GO FAPS ER.

SO YOU CAN SEE HERE HOW TO WORKS.

THE OTHER THING TOO AS JAKE HAD MENTIONED THE VERTICAL

ELEMENTS WITH THE HIGHEST ELEMENTS FACE THE HIGH

DENSITY HIGH RISE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS WE STEP THE

BUILDING BACK DOWN.

AND HERE IS VIEW OF THAT AS WE WILL SEE FROM THE

STREETSCAPE ITSELF.

OUR POOL AREA.

WE SCREENED THE POOL ON THE SOUTH SIDE TOWARD THE

NEIGHBORHOOD AND CREATED A VISTA FOR LOOKING AT GREAT

SUNSETS.

OUR AMENITIES.

WE WILL DO HIGH-END DESIGN USING OTHER AC HOTELS AS

EXAMPLES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

THIS WILL BE A HIGH -- VERY HIGH-SCALE ELEGANT HOTEL.

NOT MEANT BE TOO BEACH HOTEL.

SOMETHING WE WANT TO DO THAT REALLY ELEVATES THE WHOLE

NEIGHBORHOOD.

YOU CAN SEE AS WE DROPPED THE BUILDING INTO THE

NEIGHBORHOOD ITSELF, THE SCALE WHERE IT IS WITH THE

ADJACENT BUILDINGS.

YOU CAN SEE HOW THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING FACES ON TO

THE EXISTING OFFICE BUILDING ITSELF.

AND GIVES YOU AN IDEA ON THE L-SHAPE OF THE BUILDING

HOW IT STEPS BACK DOWN TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE 12 STORIES FACE OUT INTO THE HIGH DENSITY AREA

ITSELF AND THE REST OF THE BUILDING STEPS DOWN AS GOOD

URBAN DESIGN PRINCIPLES DICTATE IN MIXED USE AREAS.

AGAIN FROM THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, THE LOWER

PORTION OF THE PARKING GARAGE STEPS DOWN ALONG THAT

NEIGHBORHOOD ALONG SOUTH HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD.

AND THEN FINALLY, HOW THE BUILDING -- THE SCALE OF IT

AND THE MASSING COMPARES TO THE BUILDINGS' ADJACENT TO

IT ON KNIGHT'S RUN ITSELF.

AS PART OF THE MIXED USE AREA.

IN BUILDING AND MASSIVE SCALE STEPS BACK INTO THE

RESIDENTIAL AREA AND WE ARE TRYING HARD IN TERMS OF

DESIGNING THIS IN A MEANS OF WHICH WE WOULD REALLY

RESPECT THAT.

AND FINALLY, AS YOU CAN SEE, WE CREATED THAT BEACON

WHICH WE THINK IS ELEGANT AND AN IMPORTANT PROJECT.

BECAUSE THIS IS MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND LIVE ON HARBOUR

ISLAND.

SO WE ARE VERY DEDICATED OUR ENTIRE TEAM AND OUR DESIGN

TEAM TO DESIGN AN ICONIC, ELEGANT SUSTAINABLE BUILDING

THAT WILL ENHANCE THE URBAN EXPERIENCE ON THE ISLAND.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU.

17:47:45 >> GOOD EVENING, ANDY COHEN.

COHEN AND COMPANY.

I HAVE BEEN SWORN.

WE PREPARED THE TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS FOR THE STUDY

CONSISTENT WITH ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CITY OF

TAMPA AND THOROUGHLY APPROVED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY

OF TAMPA TRANSPORTATION STAFF.

THE IMPORTANT FEATURE OUT YOU HAVE THIS PARTICULAR

TRAFFIC STUDY THIS HOTEL DID NOT CHANGE A SINGLE LEVEL

OF SERVICE OF ANY OF THE INTERSECTIONS WE REVIEWED.

AT HARBOUR ISLAND AND KNIGHT'S RUN.

LEVEL SERVICE B IN THE MORNING AND LEVEL B WITH THE

HOTEL ADDED.

IN THE AFTERNOON LEVEL OF SERVICE C IN THE MORNING AND

C IN THE AFTERNOON WITH THE HOTEL ADDS $IN 2024.

BOTH THE DRIVEWAYS SHADE WITH THE ATHLETIC OPERATE

LEVEL OF SERVICE A TODAY AND IN THE FUTURE WITH OR

WITHOUT THIS PROJECT.

THIS PROJECT DOES NOT HAVE A SIGNIFICANT TRANSPORTATION

IMPACT.

THAT DOES NOT SAY THAT HARBOUR ISLAND DOESN'T HAVE AND

SUFFER FROM CONGESTION OF TRAFFIC ON THE OTHER SIDE OF

THE BRIDGE WITH THE CONVENTION CENTER AND ARENA AS

THEIR SPECIAL EVENT AND WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT LATER.

THANK YOU.

17:48:50 >> THANK YOU, JAKE CREMER, AGAIN.

CAN WE GO BACK TO THE PRESENTATION?

COUNCIL, I WILL JUST LEAVE WITH YOU PARTING THOUGHTS.

YOU KNOW, AGAIN, WE WORKED REALLY HARD.

WE HAD A NUMBER OF COMMUNITY MEETINGS.

WE HAD INDIVIDUAL MEETINGS.

WE REALLY TALKED ACROSS THE COMMUNITY.

THIS CHART SHOWS YOU, THIS IS WHAT YOU DEL US EVERY

TIME WE COME TO YOU.

THIS IS WHY WE TOOK CONTINUANCE, TOOK A PAUSE.

REDESIGNED THE ENTIRE PROJECT AND BROUGHT SOMETHING TO

YOU THAT WE HOPE YOU WILL BE PROUD OF.

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

SLIDES THAT SHOWS THE INGRESS-EGRESS.

I AM JUST TRYING -- BECAUSE -- YOUR TRAFFIC PERSON

MENTIONED THAT IT WAS A SHARED DRIVEWAY WITH THE

ATHLETIC CLUB.

I -- I DON'T KNOW WHAT -- I GUESS I DON'T NO KNOW WHAT

I MEANS.

I DROVE AROUND IN THAT AREA, LIKE I SAID, TODAY.

17:50:02 >> I WILL LET RANDY EXPLAIN.

17:50:03 >> YES, MA'AM.

IF WE CAN HAVE THE EXHIBIT UP.

THE HARBOUR ISLAND DRIVEWAY, WHICH IS THE ONE ON THE

LOWER LEFT OF THE SCREEN, IS A DRIVEWAY THAT SERVICES

THE HARBOUR ISLAND ATHLETIC CLUB AND BANK PROPERTY AS

IT EXISTS TODAY WHICH WILL BE THE HOTEL IN THE FUTURE.

AN EASEMENT BETWEEN THOSE TWO PARTIES ALLOWING BOTH OF

THEM TO USE THAT DRIVEWAY.

THE SAME IS TRUE FOR THE DRIVEWAY IN THE UPPER

RIGHT-HAND CORNER OF THE SITE WHICH IS A SHARED

DRIVEWAY BETWEEN THOSE TWO.

THEY EXIST TODAY.

WE WILL NOT CHANGE THEM.

HE WILL BE USED BY EVERYONE.

17:50:38 >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.

THAT CLARIFIES IT.

17:50:42 >> THANK YOU.

17:50:45 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MR. GUDES.

COUNCILMAN GUDES.

17:50:49 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
HOW MANY MEETINGS WERE HELD FOR THIS

PROJECT?

17:50:53 >> WE WILL ONE VIRTUAL AND ONE IN PERSON.

WE HELD INDIVIDUAL MEETINGS WITH A TASK FORCE THAT

CONSISTED TO THE BOARD OF THE SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD

ASSOCIATION.

WE ALSO GAVE A PRESENTATION TO THE HIXSA BOARD THE

MASTER FACILITIES ASSOCIATION FOR THE ISLAND.

17:51:13 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
MR. GUDES AND COUNCIL, JUST A

REMINDER NO REQUIREMENT IN THE CODE WITH REGARDS TO THE

COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND BASICALLY YOU WILL HAVE TO BASE

YOUR EVIDENCE -- EXCUSE ME YOUR DECISION ON THE

COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE AT THE HEARINGS AND THE

CRITERIA OF THE NUMBER OF MEETINGS WOULD NOT BE

RELEVANT FOR THAT.

17:51:32 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
THANK YOU, MR. SHELBY.

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMUNITY WAS INVOLVED

IN THE PROCESS.

17:51:39 >> IN YOUR BINDER, THE LAST ITEM HAS A SUMMARY OF THOSE

COMMUNITY MEETING, WHAT HAPPENED, THE COMMENTS WE

RECEIVED, THE COMMUNICATIONS THAT WENT OUT.

THAT IS THERE FOR YOU TO LOOK AT.

17:51:50 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.

[INAUDIBLE]

WHEN WAS HARBOUR ISLAND DEVELOPED?

17:51:58 >> WHEN WAS HARBOUR ISLAND DEVELOPED?

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE PLANNER COME UP AND ANSWER THE

QUESTION ON THE PLANNING SIDE.

17:52:05 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THE NEXT PART OF THE QUESTION, WHEN

THE DRI WAS PUT IN.

TWO THINGS.

I NEED CLARITY TO SEE IF I WAS HERE.

17:52:17 >> HELLO, CYNTHIA SPIDEL, STEARNS, WEAVER AND I HAVE

BEEN WORN.

THE ORIGINAL DRI WAS APPROVED FEBRUARY -- 40 YEARS AGO.

TURNED 40 YEARS AGO FEBRUARY 2022.

I GUESS THAT IS 1982.

17:52:33 >> THANK YOU FOR CALLING ME 40 YEARS OLD.

I NEED A DATE 1970 --

17:52:39 >> IT STARTED IN 1982.

AND THERE IS -- IN THE PLANNING REPORT IS IN YOUR

BINDER, HISTORICAL AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS THAT CAN SHOW YOU

THE EVOLUTION OF HARBOUR ISLAND OVER THAT 40-YEAR

PERIOD.

17:52:54 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
IF WE FIND IT HERE, WE WILL BE HERE

FOR TWO MONTHS BECAUSE A BIG FOLDER YOU GAVE IT.

17:53:07 >> POLICE SPIDELL'S REPORT IS ITEM L AS IN LARRY, IN

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

HARBOUR ISLAND WAS CREATED.

17:53:26 >> SEDON ISLAND AND DRI WAS APPROVED AND THEN BECAME

HARBOUR ISLAND.

A DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL IMPACT GENERALLY THE

BUILD-OUTS ARE 30 YEARS.

YOU START OUT.

THAT IS THE REASON WE SEE IT EVOLVE SIGNIFICANTLY OVER

TIME BECAUSE EXTREMELY LARGE DEVELOPMENTS.

178 ACRES.

DOES NOT DEVELOP OVERNIGHT AND IT IS A PROCESS.

THAT IS WHY THE DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL IMPACT REVIEW

PROCESS WAS INITIALLY ADOPTED BY THE STATE SO THAT YOU

WOULD HAVE THIS REGIONAL COORDINATION FOR THE REGIONAL

IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

AND I BELIEVE THE -- WERE YOU THE ORIGINAL PLANNER ON

IT?

THE ORIGINAL PLANNER IS HERE.

I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY

HAVE.

17:54:20 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

ALL RIGHT, ARE WE TAKING PUBLIC COMMENT AT THIS TIME?

17:54:28 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
MR. CHAIRMAN, THAT -- BECAUSE WE

OPENED THE TWO ITEMS TOGETHER, THERE ARE SPEAKERS --

THERE ARE SPEAKS FOR ITEMS -- THERE ARE -- SPEAKS

PERHAPS FOR THIS AND ALSO FOR ITEM NUMBER 3.

BUT WE WILL BE COMBINING THOSE TWO.

17:54:45 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
SHALL WE HEAR THE SPEAKERS FOR THE

FIRST ITEM FIRST FOR COMBINE BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER?

17:54:56 >> MR. CHAIR, JAKE CREMER, THE APPLICANT.

I WOULD SUGGEST WE HEAR BOTH BECAUSE COMBINE BECAUSE IT

WILL BE CONFUSING FOR THE PUBLIC.

17:55:10 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY, BUT WE ONLY

HEARD ONE SIDE NUMBER 2.

HOW CAN WE HEAR 3 WITHOUT HEARING 2.

WE ONLY HEARD TESTIMONY ON ITEM NUMBER 2, AM I CORRECT?

I AM NOT CHALLENGING ANYTHING.

17:55:23 >> JAKE CREMER AGAIN.

I THOUGHT THE INTENT WHEN WE OPENED THE HEARING WE

OPENED IT FOR BOTH ITEMS.

AND THAT WE GAVE OUR PRESENTATION FOR BOTH ITEMS JUST

NOW MY SUGGESTION OF MR. SHELBY'S OPINION AND MISS

JOHNSON-VELEZ, THAT WE WILL HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON BOTH

AND VOTE ON THEM SEPARATELY.

MISS MANDELL.

17:55:54 >> GOOD EVENING, JULIA MANDELL WITH THE LAW FIRM OF GRAY

ROBINSON, 401 EAST JACKSON STREET.

I DO HAVE A SPEAKER WAIVER FORM.

SOME OF THE FOLKS ON THE SPEAKER WAIVER FORM -- I SEE A

COUPLE OF THEM DOWNSTAIRS BECAUSE OF SPACE.

PERHAPS WE CAN LET THEM IN AND GET THAT PROCEDURALLY

TAKEN CARE OF AND THEY CAN FIND A COMFORTABLE LOCATION

FOR THEM TO SIT AGAIN.

17:56:28 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
PATTY KAMPSEN.

[INAUDIBLE]

17:56:29 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
THANK YOU.

PAMELA ELOPULOS.

ARE YOU ALSO REGISTERED TO SPEAK?

[INAUDIBLE]

17:56:44 >>MARTIN SHELBY:

I COUNT ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, SIX NAMES.

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

OBJECTIONABLE AND I WANT TO GIVE AS MUCH --

17:57:27 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL TIME ARE YOU

ASKING FOR?

17:57:30 >> MAYBE UP TO TEN MINUTES FOR MY PRESENTATION.

IF I NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE, I WILL ASK.

BUT I THINK THAT SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT.

OFF TREMENDOUS NUMBER OF OTHER SPEAKERS HERE AND I WANT

TO BE COURTEOUS TO EVERYBODY.

17:57:43 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
HERE AGAIN, I THOUGHT WE SET THAT

PARAMETER IN THE BEGINNING.

17:57:46 >> VERY GOOD.

THANK YOU.

I'M HERE ON BEHALF -- FOR THE RECORD, OF THE SOUTH

NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION OF HARBOUR ISLAND, THAT AN

AREA THAT MR. CREMER TALKED ABOUT.

AND I WILL GET INTO THAT FURTHER.

AND AS -- AS WE INDICATED, AND I HAVE GIVEN YOU A

MEMORANDUM SETTING FORTH THE ANALYSIS AS WELL AS I GAVE

YOU ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE THROUGH THAT THAT THE SOUTH

NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IS IN TONKS THIS REZONING.

I AM STARTING BY SHOWING YOU --

17:58:26 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MISS MANDELL, ONE SECOND.

CAN WE HAVE THE ELMO UP, PLEASE.

17:58:44 >> SORRY, I AM OLD SCHOOL.

I USE THE ELMO OR WHATEVER WE ARE CALLING IT NOWADAYS

THANK YOU.

17:59:02 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

17:59:03 >> VERY GOOD.

AGAIN, YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR FROM A LOT OF FOLKS

TONIGHT.

SOME OF THEM ARE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AREA.

SOME OF THEM ARE NOT, BUT I THINK WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO

HEAR IS A LOT OF FRUSTRATION AND CONCERN OVER THIS

PARTICULAR REZONING AND GENERALLY WHAT IS OCCURRING ON

HARBOUR ISLAND.

AS IT RELATES TO THE SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD AND THIS

PROJECT SPECIFICALLY, THE RED LINE YOU SEE HERE IS THE

DIVIDING LINE BETWEEN THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH.

AND EVERYTHING TO THE SOUTH -- THE SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD

ASSOCIATION, IT CONSISTS OF A VARIETY OF COMMUNITY WITH

APPROXIMATELY 657 HOMES.

THEY ARE A MIXED TYPE.

THEY ARE SINGLE-FAMILY.

THEY ARE GARDEN HOMES.

THEY ARE CONDOMINIUMS AND THEY ARE TOWN HOUSES AND

APPROXIMATELY 3,000 RESIDENTS.

HARBOUR ISLAND IS A PRETTY UNIQUE AREA IN THE CITY OF

TAMPA.

IT IS AN ISLAND.

AND IT ONLY HAS TWO ENTRY POINTS ON AND OFF THE ISLAND.

ONE IS AT BENEFICIAL AND THE OTHER IS AT HARBOUR ISLAND

BOULEVARD.

THAT IS THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET OFF THE ISLAND AND ON

TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA.

ADDITIONALLY, THE SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AS

HAVE BEEN MENTIONED IS A GATED AREA.

THERE IS ONLY TWO ENTRY POINT INTO THE SOUTH

NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AREA.

THAT IS AT SOUTH HARBOUR ISLAND AND AT BENEFICIAL.

THAT IS WHAT DOES MAKE UNIQUE.

THIS IS, IN ESSENCE, THE REZONING APPLICATION IN THE

AREA THE REZONING, THE ESSENCE THE GATEWAY INTO ONE OF

THE ENTRY POINTS INTO THE SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD

ASSOCIATION.

AS IT STANDS TODAY, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A

MIXED USE COMMUNITY.

I UNDERSTAND IT HAS A VERY SIGNIFICANT LAND USE

CLASSIFICATION.

AS IT STANDS TODAY AND IT IS DEVELOPED TODAY, I WANT TO

SHOW PICTURES WHAT THE GATES LOOK LIKE TODAY BECAUSE

INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT IN YOUR ANALYSIS WHETHER OR NOT

THIS PROJECT IS COMPATIBLE.

THIS IS THE ENTRY POINT AT BENEFICIAL DRIVE.

AS YOU CAN SEE, AS YOU GO INTO THE ENTRY POINT ON THE

SOUTH SIDE OF KNIGHT'S RUN, YOU GOT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE

45, 50 FEET HEIGHT.

YOU HAVE SOME TOWN HOUSES OVER HERE.

BUT OFF VISTA THAT YOU HAVE AS YOU GO IN TO THE GATED

AREA INTO THE COMMUNITY.

THIS IS THE SOUTHGATE -- SORRY, THIS IS THE HARBOUR

ISLAND GATE.

THIS IS THE VIEW AS YOU GO INTO THIS -- THE HARBOUR

ISLAND GATE.

THIS IS A RETENTION POND.

THERE IS NO DEVELOPMENT THERE.

THIS IS AS YOU ARE GOING IN.

AND THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS AS YOU ARE DRIVING IN TO THE

HARBOR -- TO THE SOUTH HARBOUR ISLAND GATE.

WHAT YOU ARE SEEING RIGHT NOW.

WHAT YOU ARE SEEING RIGHT NOW IS THE EXISTING STRUCTURE

WHICH IS ONE-STORY BUILDING.

AND THEN YOU SEE A NUMBER OF HIGHER, DENSER,

HIGHER-SCALED TOWERS.

THAT IS WHAT THE ISSUE IS.

THAT IS WHAT THE ISSUE IS FOR THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

AS YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE, THIS IS A VIEW LOOKING

TOWARD THE WEST -- I AM SORRY, TOWARD THE EAST LOOKING

TOWARD THE EAST AT SOUTH HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD AND

KNIGHT'S RUN.

A VERY CLEAR LINE OF DELINEATION.

YOU HAVE ON THE NORTH SIDE VERY HIGH DENSITY,

HIGH-SCALE, HIGH-INTENSITY USES.

THAT IS HOW IT WAS PLANNED AND HOW IT IS DEVELOPED.

AS YOU MOVE ON THE OTHER SIDE, AS YOU MOVE CLOSER TO

THE RESIDENTIAL PORTION, THE LOW DENSITY AND THE MID

DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AREA, THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ON

THAT SIDE IS NOT AS DENSE.

IT IS NOT AS INTENSE.

IT IS NOT AS TALL.

THE SCALE IS LESS.

THIS IS FROM BENEFICIAL LOOKING THE OTHER DIRECTION

TOWARD HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD.

YOU CAN SEE, THERE IS SOME -- SOME TALLER STRUCTURES,

SOME -- LITTLE BIT HIGHER DENSITY, BUT A CLEAR

DELINEATION BETWEEN THESE TWO PARTICULAR USES AND THIS

TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ON EACH SIDE OF KNIGHT'S

RUN BOULEVARD.

AGAIN, THIS -- THIS REALLY IS THE CONCERN OF THE

RESIDENTS.

THEY HAVE CONCERNS OVER TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC.

THAT I THINK IS SHARED UPON EVERYBODY ON HARBOUR

ISLAND.

GETTING ON AND OFF HARBOUR ISLAND IS INCREDIBLY

COMPLICATED ESPECIALLY DURING SPECIAL EVENTS.

ESPECIALLY DURING LIGHTNING GAMES AND THESE KIND OF

THINGS.

THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT ALTHOUGH YOU CAN LOOK AT THIS

FROM AN ITE PERSPECTIVE AND A TRANSPORTATION

PERSPECTIVE, THAT IT MAY NOT INCREASE ACTUAL NUMBER OF

TRIPS.

THERE IS GOING TO BE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC.

THERE IS GOING TO BE ADDITIONAL PRESSURES.

THERE ARE GOING TO BE ADDITIONAL CONGESTION.

ADDITIONALLY, THE DRIVEWAY.

I DON'T HAVE THE BEST PICTURE OF IT AND YOU SEE IT ON

SOME OF THE OTHER SLIDES IS RIGHT AT THE FRONT OF THE

GATE.

IT IS RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING POINT WHERE YOU HAVE

TRAFFIC THAT IS GOING IN AND OUT AS THEY WAIT TO GET IN

AND OUT OF THE GATE, AS THEY WAIT TO -- TO QUEUE.

THIS IS ALSO THE AREA WHERE THERE IS A BUS STOP FOR --

FOR THE SCHOOLS AS THEY GO TO WHATEVER THE SCHOOLS ARE

REZONED FOR.

PLANT AND WILSON AND SOME OF THE OTHER SCHOOLS.

AGAIN, THIS IS THE CONCERN OF THE RESIDENTS.

THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THIS MASS AND SCALE IS

GOING TO IMPACT THEIR RESIDENTIAL USES.

THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT TRAFFIC.

THEY ARE CONCERNS ABOUT HOW THIS IS GOING TO AFFECT

THEIR KIDS GETTING ON THE BUS.

AND THEY ARE GOING TO -- AND THEY ARE CONCERNS

GENERALLY ABOUT THE CHANGE THAT CAN HAPPEN AS YOU GET

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF KNIGHT'S RUN BOULEVARD.

I THINK IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING TO LOOK AT THE

PRESENTATION THAT WAS GIVEN, BECAUSE I THINK IF YOU

LOOK AT -- WHEN THEY SHOWED HOW THAT LOOKS IN

COMPARISON TO -- YOU KNOW, THEY DID AN IMAGINE OF WHAT

THIS WILL LOOK LIKE, YOU CAN EVEN SEE IN THAT PICTURE,

IT IS THE TALLEST -- IT WOULD BE THE TALLEST STRUCTURE

ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF KNIGHT'S RUN.

IT WOULD START POTENTIALLY A TREND.

IT WILL START POTENTIALLY HOW YOU MOVE DEVELOPMENT ON

THE OTHER SIDE OF KNIGHT'S RUN AND WHAT THAT WILL LOOK

LIKE AND FEEL LIKE.

THAT IS SOMETHING OFF THIS THE TRITE CONSIDER AS PART

OF YOUR ANALYSIS.

I DID NOTE THAT THEY -- THAT THERE IS NOW NO LONGER ANY

WAIVERS THAT ARE REQUIRED.

I UNDERSTOOD FROM THE STAFF REPORT AND MAYBE SOMEBODY

CAN CLARIFY THIS AFTERWARDS THAT THERE WAS GOING BE A

WAIVER THAT WAS REQUIRED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND

READING, BUT I CERTAINLY APPLAUD THEM FROM TRYING TO

GET A DEVELOPMENT THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY WAIVERS.

THAT IS CERTAINLY THE THING TO TRY TO ACCOMPLISH AS

THEY ARE GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS.

THAT DOES NOT CHANGE YOUR ANALYSIS.

UNDER THE PD CRITERIA OFF THIS IN YOUR CODE, YOU HAVE

THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO REVIEW WHETHER OR NOT A

PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT AS IT COMES FORWARD AS A PLANNED

DEVELOPMENT IS COMPATIBLE.

HEIGHT AND SCALE COMPATIBLE.

IS IT GOING TO CAUSE UNDO PRESSURES ON THE BUILT

ENVIRONMENT.

IS IT GOING TO CREATE TRANSPORTATION IMPACTS.

YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR FROM A LOT OF MEMBERS OF THE

COMMUNITY WHAT THEIR DAY-TO-DAY LIVES ARE AS THEY DRIVE

ON AND OFF THE ISLANDS.

THEIR CONCERNS AND THEIR ISSUES.

IF IT IS ANY OF THAT EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY THAT COMES

TO YOU.

IF IT IS FACTUALLY BASED.

COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REVIEW THE COMPETENT AND

SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IF THE PD CRITERIA HAS BEEN MET.

I DID POINT OUT THE CRITERIA.

I HIGHLIGHTED THE PORTION THAT YOU CAN CONSIDER AS PART

OF YOUR ANALYSIS.

AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK AT THOSE CRITERIA AND

DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THOSE CRITERIA HAVE BEEN MET.

THE STAFF HAS FOUND IT CONSISTENT.

BUT YOUR ROLE IS TO DETERMINE IF CRITERIA HAS BEEN MET

AND YOUR ROLE IS TO LOOK AT ALL THE EVIDENCE THAT COMES

INTO THE RECORD AND MAKE DECISION.

IS THIS THE RIGHT DEVELOPMENT IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE

RIGHT TIME.

THAT IS PART OF YOUR ANALYSIS.

AND IT IS PART OF WHAT YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER IN

LISTENING TO THE TESTIMONY AND EVIDENCE AS PART OF THIS

RECORD.

AND MAKING YOUR ULTIMATE DECISION.

I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ON THIS.

I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO HEAR FROM THE COMMUNITY AS

TO WHAT THEY THINK.

FIVE A COUPLE OF EXTRA MINUTES -- IF I CAN GET A COUPLE

OF EXTRA MINUTES TO WRAP UP AT THE END, I APPRECIATE

IT.

18:07:59 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.

18:08:01 >>LYNN HURTAK:
WHAT IS THE TALLEST BUILDING ON THE

SOUTH SIDE OF THE ISLAND?

18:08:05 >> I BELIEVE IT IS EIGHT STORIES.

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.

ARE YOU FINISHED?

COUNCILMAN VIERA.

18:08:22 >>LUIS VIERA:
THANK YOU.

NOT TO MISS MANDELL, MORE SO FOR STAFF, FOR THE --

WHETHER IT IS MISS JOHNSON-VELEZ, MISS WELLS OR MR.

SHELBY.

FOR PURPOSES OF COUNCIL.

COULD YOU ALL CLARIFY WHEN IT COMES TO THE PUBLIC --

AND I KNOW WE HAVE GONE OVER THIS BEFORE, BUT WHAT

CONSTITUTES COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE FROM MEMBERS

OF THE PUBLIC.

DO THEY NEED TO BE QUALIFIED AS EXPERTS AS SUCH?

OR DAY-TO-DAY EXPERIENCES OF PEOPLE -- BECAUSE, YOU

KNOW, I WANT US TO KNOW -- BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE

A LOT OF PUBLIC COMMENT THAT WILL BE VERY PASSIONATE

AND WITHOUT A DOUBT, WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE

REPLACEMENT OF THAT SMALL BANK WITH THIS BIG HOTEL,

THAT IS A BIG CHANGE, BUT I WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT IS

THAT WHICH WE CAN -- FOR ALL OF OUR SAYING THAT WE CAN

RELY UPON IN MAKING A DETERMINATION ON THIS AS IT

PERTAINS TO THE PUBLIC COMMENT.

18:09:23 >>CATE WELLS:
CATE WELLS, CHIEF ASSISTANT SENIOR

ATTORNEY FOR THE RECORD.

I WOULD GENERALLY AGREE OF HOW MISS MANDELL PRESENTED

THE TESTIMONY THAT YOU CAN HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC THAT

WILL BE CONSIDERED COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

WHEN THEY ARE SPEAKING TO THEIR EXPERIENCES AND HOW IT

IMPACTS THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE, WHAT THEY OTHERED AND

THE DEVELOPMENT OVER TIME, THE COURTS HAVE FOUND THAT

TO BE COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

OF COURSE AS YOU HEAR FROM THE DIFFERENT MEMBERS OF THE

PUBLIC, YOU KNOW, ASK YOURSELF, ARE THEY SPEAKING TO

THE CRITERIA THAT IS APPLICABLE UNDER A PD REZONING.

BECAUSE THAT IS THE STANDARD OF REVIEW FOR THE CITY

COUNCIL.

SO THEY MUST SPEAK FOR IT TO BE COMPETENT AND

SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

THEY MUST BE SPEAKING TO THE CRITERIA IN THE CODE AS IT

RELATES TO AN APPROVAL OR A DENIAL OF THIS APPLICATION.

18:10:14 >>LUIS VIERA:
THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT.

THANK YOU, MA'AM.

APPRECIATE IT.

18:10:19 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.

18:10:22 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
MISS MANDELL, YOU MENTIONED THE

ROAD, KNIGHT'S RUN AVENUE TO THE SOUTH.

IS THERE ANY BUILDINGS AT ALL, PD COMMERCIAL STRUCTURE

OTHER THAN THE -- I WOULD IMAGINE THAT SEVEN-STORY

BUILDING IS RESIDENTIAL OPINION.

18:10:38 >> THAT'S CORRECT.

EVERYTHING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GATE, AS IT WERE,

WAS RESIDENTIAL.

THE ONLY TWO COMMERCIAL -- THE ONLY TWO COMMERCIALLY

ZONED AT THIS TIME AREAS, ONE IS THE HARBOUR ISLAND

ATHLETIC CLUB WHICH IS A PRIVATE RECREATIONAL USE.

SO THAT IS ONLY ALLOWED FOR MEMBERS WHO ARE A PART OF

THAT COMMUNITY.

AND THEN THE FORMER BANK BUILDING THAT IS NOW A

PROFESSIONAL OFFICE.

THAT WAS REZONED IN 2016, IF I AM RECALLING CORRECTLY,

TO BECOME A PROFESSIONAL OFFICE.

IT WAS A BANK PRIOR TO THAT.

18:11:11 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

18:11:19 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
I CAN FOLLOW UP ON THE CRITERIA THAT

MISS WELLS MENTIONED.

UNLESS THEY ARE AN EXPERT, AND THEIR OPINION IS NOT

NECESSARILY -- NOT COMPREHENSIVE TENT AND SUBSTANTIAL

EVIDENCE, BUT THE COUNCIL, I WOULD DIRECT YOUR

ATTENTION TO THE CRITERIA AS IT HAS BEEN MENTIONED IN

THE STAFF REPORTS AND APPLY THE FACTS THAT YOU HEAR

FACTUALLY WHAT SUPPORTS THEIR OPINION IS THE COMPETENT

SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE BUT THE OPINIONS UNLESS THEY ARE

EXPERTS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AT THE TENT AND SUBSTANTIAL

EVIDENCE.

MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO HAVE THE CRY TERRY I CAN'T

HAVE THE PD IN FRONT OF YOU AND IF THERE ARE FACTS THAT

ASSOCIATE TO THAT CRITERIA, YOU CAN WAIVE THOSE AND

DETERMINE WHETHER THAT MEETS THE COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL

EVIDENCE, THE BURDEN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO BASE YOUR

DECISION ON.

18:12:10 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MISS MANDELL, TO FOLLOW UP ON

COUNCILMAN MIRANDA'S QUESTION.

YOU HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH LAND USE FOR A WHILE, BOTH

WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA AND NOW PRIVATELY.

THAT KNIGHT'S RUN TO THE NORTH SIDE IS VERY INTENSIVE.

THE SOUTH SIDE IS LESS INTENSIVE.

WAS THAT BY DESIGN EITHER BY THE CITY OR THE PLANNING

COMMISSION OR DID THAT JUST HAPPEN IN HAPPENSTANCE?

18:12:40 >> I THINK THAT IS A QUESTION FOR YOUR STAFF WHO HAS

BEEN MORE INVOLVED OVER THE YEARS IN TERMS OF THE

DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS ON HARBOUR ISLAND.

BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS SOME TESTIMONY FROM THE

PLANNING COMMISSION THAT SAID, YOU KNOW, THIS WAS GIVEN

A VERY HIGH INTENSITY LAND USE CLASSIFICATION WHEN IT

FIRST STARTED, BUT THEN THROUGH THE DRI PROCESS, THE PD

PROCESS AND COUNCILS FROM BEFORE YOU TO TODAY WEIGHING

WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE, WHAT THE CAPACITIES WERE, ETC.

THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN HAS OCCURRED PURSUANT TO

APPROVALS THAT THIS COUNCIL HAS GIVEN, PREVIOUS

COUNCILS HAVE GIVEN.

SO OVERTIME, THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS HAVE BEEN WHAT

THEY ARE, AND IT HAS BEEN CHANGING -- AS I STATED IT

WOULD BE CHANGING THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN BY PUTTING

HIGH -- HIGHER DENSITY, HIGHER INTENSITY, BIGGER SCALE

DEVELOPMENT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF KNIGHT'S RUN THAT IS

NOT RESIDENTIAL AND THAT IS NOT PART OF THE REFERRING

COMMUNITY THAT IS START OF THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF KNIGHT'S RUN.

WHETHER OR NOT IT IS A HOTEL OR OTHER USE FOR THAT IS

IN A COMMERCIAL CATEGORY.

IT IS LESS THE POINT THAN THE MASS AND THE SCALE AND

WHAT HAS OCCURRED AT THAT LOCATION PREVIOUSLY.

AND I WILL ALSO POINT OUT TO YOU IF YOU LOOK AT THE

DEVELOPMENT AS IT HAS OCCURRED ON THE OTHER -- BY

BENEFICIAL BY THE OTHER GATE.

IT HAS BEEN LOWER SCALE.

SO THAT IS WHAT HAS DEVELOPED OVER TIME.

THE REASON FOR IT IS FOR THE PLANNERS TO REALLY ADVISE

ON.

18:14:18 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MISS MANDELL.

WHO IS GOING TO SPEAK NEXT IN PUBLIC COMMENT.

AND IF PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO FORM A LINE ON MY LEFT,

YOUR RIGHT, I WILL GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU.

PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM.

STATE YOUR NAME.

18:14:44 >> GOOD EVENING, GUY VAN BAALEN, 1415 HARBOR WALK ROAD.

I AM SWORN IN.

THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK.

AS I INDICATED, MY NAME IS GUY VAN BAALEN.

I AM AN ATTORNEY BY PROFESSION AND LIVE ON HARBOUR

ISLAND.

I AM PRESIDENT OF THE HARBOUR ISLAND HOMEOWNERS

ASSOCIATION AND VICE PRESIDENT OF THE SOUTH

NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.

18:15:04 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MAY I ASK YOU, ARE YOU SPEAKING FOR

YOURSELF OR FOR EITHER ONE OF THOSE ASSOCIATIONS?

18:15:08 >> FOR ALL THREE.

18:15:10 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ALL THREE.

YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RIGHTS TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT ON

BEHALF OF THE HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION AND THE OTHER

ASSOCIATIONS?

18:15:23 >> YES, I AM PRESIDENT OF THE HARBOR SIDE ASSOCIATION

AND VICE PRESIDENT OF IT.

I AM ALSO A MEMBER OF THE HARBOUR ISLAND ATHLETIC CLUB

SO I AM PARTICULARLY AFFECTED BY WHAT IS PROPOSED HERE

TODAY.

I LOVE HARBOUR ISLAND.

I WANT TO SEE IT FLOURISH.

I HAVE THE FOLLOWING CONCERNS OF THE PROPOSED

DEVELOPMENT AND WHY WE ARE OPPOSE $TO IT.

AND I KNOW THAT YOU WILL HEAR A LOT OF POINT.

I WILL TRY TO NARROW IT DOWN.

ONE, THE DEVELOPER SAYS IT WAS A BANK AND USED STANDARD

BOOK METRIC BY TRAFFIC CONSULTANTS TO GUESSTIMATE THE

OUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT THE BANK HAD, BUT THAT IS NOT

REALLY BASED ON REALITY.

YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY SEE WHAT THE SITUATION WAS.

IT WAS A SMALL BANK.

BEFORE THAT OBVIOUSLY IT WAS A MODEL HOME OFFICE YOU.

AND MOSTLY HAD LOCAL AND FOOT TRAFFIC FROM RESIDENTS ON

THE ISLAND.

PEOPLE FROM OFF THE ISLAND DIDN'T COME INTO THE BANK

THAT OFTEN.

THE BUILDING WAS SOLD OBVIOUSLY TO DEVELOPMENT TO

CONVERT TO SMALL OFFICE, AND OBVIOUSLY HIS INTENTIONS

WERE LARGER.

THE NEW PLAN SAYS THAT THE TRAFFIC WILL MOSTLY BE RIDE

SHARE.

THAT CAN BE TREMENDOUS BURDEN ON THE -- ON THE CON GIGS

IN THE AREA.

AND I THINK ALL OF YOU MAY KNOW ABOUT THAT SITUATION.

HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD IS THE ENTRANCE TO THE

COMMUNITY.

I KNOW OUR ATTORNEY EXPLAINED THAT TO YOU.

THE ENTRANCE AND THE EXIT FOR THE HOTEL.

THEY SAY THEY WANT TO MODEL IT ON COMING ON KNIGHT'S

BLUE RUN AND ALSO HAVE IT SO IT CAN COME BY THE GATE.

THERE IS AN ISLAND THERE.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE A U-TURN THERE WHICH IS WHERE THE

HARBOUR ISLAND ATHLETIC CLUB.

IT WILL BE A NIGHTMARE THERE.

PUT MORE LIGHTS IN IF THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING

AND MAKE IT MORE CONGESTED AND HOLD UP THE TRAFFIC THAT

GOES UP BEYOND THE GATES AND BEHIND THE GATES.

SO THE INGRESS AND EGRESS WILL BE A LOGISTICAL

NIGHTMARE AND BLOCK THE ABILITY OF PEOPLE TO COME AND

GO WITH REGARD TO IT.

I ALSO WANT TO BRING UP THE ISSUE WITH CONSTRUCTION AND

ZONING TIMING.

THAT HAVEN'T BEEN RAISED TONIGHT.

IT WASN'T RAISED BY THE DEVELOPER.

WE KNOW -- WE HAVE SEEN WHAT HAPPENED IN CONSTRUCTION

ZONES.

WE ARE OBVIOUSLY FOR CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT IN

THE COMMUNITY, BUT YOU ONLY HAVE TO LOOK AT WATER

STREETS AND HERON TOWERS AND THE AMOUNT OF CONSTRUCTION

AND BLOCKAGE OF ROADS AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT OCCURRED

DURING THAT TIME.

THEY HAVE INDICATED TO US IN ONE OF THE PUBLIC HEARINGS

THERE WILL BE ABLE TO BASICALLY IMPLODE NEGATIVES INTO

A POSITIVE SENSE IS OF USING THE STREETS OF HARBOUR

ISLAND BOULEVARD OR KNIGHT'S RUN.

THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE.

AND I POSE THAT THEY ARE -- EXCUSE ME, THEIR PROPOSAL

WITH REGARD TO THAT.

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.

1061 SOUTH HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD AND I AM SPEAKING

TONIGHT IN FAVOR OF THE PROJECT.

AS WE HAVE SEEN, THE CITY DEVELOP AND THE ISLAND

DEVELOP, TAMPA HAS CERTAINLY GROWN INTO THIS WALKABLE

CITY.

AND I KNOW, FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE, WHEN WE HAD THE

PRESSURES ON OUR PARKING GARAGE, ETC.

AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE TRAFFIC THIS WOULD ONLY

ENHANCE WHAT TAMPA BRINGS AS A CITY FROM THE CONVENTION

CENTER, THE WALKABILITY, THE NIGHT LIFE, THE VIBRANCE.

I THINK WE BRING A GREAT TASTE OF TAMPA WITH THIS

PROJECT.

THANK YOU.

18:18:59 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

18:19:02 >> GOOD EVENING, VERNON ELLINGER.

I AM A RESIDENT OF HARBOUR ISLAND, AND I BELIEVE I HAVE A

MORE COMPREHENSIVE PHOTO OF WHAT IT IS LIKE AT THE

PROPOSED SITE.

I KNOW YOU HAVE TO BALANCE EVERYONE'S RIGHT.

AND I HOPE YOU WILL JUST SAY NO TO KEEP THINGS IN

BALANCE.

THERE ARE A LOT OF EMOTIONAL ARGUMENTS AT WHAT THE

PETITIONER CALLED A SUCCESSFUL COMMUNITY MEETING.

IT WAS ALMOST A RIOT.

NOW I KNOW YOU CAN ONLY CONSIDER SUBSTANTIVE

OBJECTIONS, SO -- CAN YOU HOLD IT --

18:19:39 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MA'AM, IF YOUR ARMS ARE GETTING TIRED,

PLEASE USE THE EASEL.

18:19:44 >> THANK YOU.

HERE WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BOULEVARD-STYLE, FOUR-LANED

STREET AND DIVIDED AND HAS PLANTS AND A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT

LINE.

WHAT I AM ASKING TO YOU DO IS DRAW THE LINE THERE.

DRAW THE LINE BETWEEN HIGH-RISE AND NOT HIGH-RISE.

IT HAS BEEN VERY CLEAR THROUGH THE OTHER SPEAKING THAT

THERE IS NOTHING HERE.

AND WE HEARD THE WORD "ADJACENT."

I HEARD IT SAID THIS IS NO TALLER THAN THE ADJACENT

BUILDINGS.

I THINK EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT ADJACENT MEANS, NEXT TO.

WHY I AM SAYING DRAW THE LINE IS, THERE IS NOTHING BUT

A BEAUTIFUL VISTA ADJACENT TO THIS PROPERTY.

SO PLEASE KEEP IT THAT WAY.

I BELIEVE THAT THE PETITIONER HAS MISLED US WITHDRAWING

THE LINE AT THE SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, THE

GATED COMMUNITY.

THIS REALLY IS THE LINE TO DRAW BETWEEN HIGH INTENSE

COMMERCIAL AND LOW INTENSE LOW VISTA RESIDENTIAL OR

RECREATIONAL.

NOW, IF THIS -- THIS HOTEL IS COMPLETELY OUT OF

CHARACTER WITH THE MIX.

AND I BELIEVE THAT IS ONE OF THE CRITERIA.

A BUSINESS TRANSACTION HOTEL.

NO INTEGRATION WITH THE COMMUNITY.

I AM A GRADUATE OF THE CORNELL HOTEL SCHOOL, AND I USED

TO RUN HOTELS.

MAYBE YOU CAN CONSIDER ME AN EXPERT.

THIS HOTEL IS NOT A COMMUNITY INTERACTION SITE.

NOW WE TALKED OF THE PARKING SPACES.

IF I AM RUNNING A HOTEL, I WOULD SOB TEMPTED TO

MONETIZE THOSE EXTRA SPACES THAT ARE UNUSED.

PLEASE PUT TEETH, IF YOU DO APPROVE IT, PUT TEETH IN

THAT.

AND ALSO AS GUY BROUGHT UP, EVERYBODY PROJECT TAKES

OVER PUBLIC HIGHWAYS, PUBLIC SPACES TO BE BUILT.

WE CAN NOT HAVE THESE ROADS CLOSED OFF FOR A YEAR.

PLEASE, IF FOR SOME REASON YOU GO AGAINST THE COMMUNITY

AND ALLOW THIS TO PROCEED, YOU WILL BE LIKE A CAR

BUNGLE ON SMOOTH SKIN AND WE CANNOT HAVE OUR ROADS

CLOSED DURING CONSTRUCTION.

PLEASE DRAW THE LINE HERE.

AND DON'T PUT THIS IN OUR HOTEL -- ON OUR ISLAND.

[APPLAUSE]

[GAVEL SOUNDING]

18:22:12 >> THIS I REFER TO AS IT.

18:22:14 >> CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY?

I AM DEBRA ELLINGER ON ABBEY'S WAY.

AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.

I SIT ON THREE LARGE COMPANY BOARDS LOCALLY HERE, FOR

EXAMPLE, TUPPERWARE.

I HAVE BEEN THE CEO AND PRESIDENT OF FOUR PRIVATE

EQUITY COMPANIES.

IN THAT ROLE I DEVELOPED OVER 100 DIFFERENT PROPERTIES.

I NEVER SEEN SOMETHING AS EGREGIOUS AS THIS.

WHAT I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT BECAUSE THIS IS WITHIN

YOUR DOMAIN TO DEAL WITH IS THE LAND USE INTENSITY THAT

IS INVOLVED HERE.

THE PREVIOUS SPEAKER TALKED ABOUT THE DEMARCATION LINE.

I ACTUALLY HAVE THE SAME PHOTOGRAPH WITHOUT -- I JUST

WANT TO RE-EMPHASIZE THAT BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT GOES TO

YOUR ZONING DECISIONS.

DO YOU MIND.

JUST BE VERY, VERY CLEAR, THAT THING DOES -- HIS SCALE

WAS CORRECT, IT GOES ALL THE WAY UP TO THE SKY UP HERE.

THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, NOT THE PICTURES THAT THE

DEVELOPER HAS SHOWN YOU.

THIS IS VERY CLEAR LOW-RISE, LOW INTENSITY.

A CLEAR DEMARCATION LINE AND I WANT TO YOU SUPPORT

THAT.

THE LAST THING I WILL SAY IS THAT ZONING WAS PUT IN

PLACE TO PROTECT THIS KIND OF DEVELOPMENT.

IT IS PUT IN PLACE TO MINIMIZE AND MANAGE INTENSITY.

AND I STRONGLY, STRONGLY URGE TO YOU REJECT THIS

REZONING PROPOSAL.

THANK YOU.

18:23:40 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE]

[GAVEL SOUNDING]

18:23:47 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE, IF WE --

WE ARE ALL HAPPY ABOUT CERTAIN SPEAKERS AND SOME

SPEAKS, BUT IF WE CAN PLEASE REFRAIN FROM THE APPLAUSE.

THANK YOU.

18:23:55 >> GOOD EVENING.

LAUREN TOBIN.

I HAVE BEEN ON HARBOUR ISLAND FOR 30 YEARS.

AND I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF CHANGES.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS INVOLVED WITH WAS THE PUSH

BACK TO PUT THE FORCE MAIN, THE NEW FORCE MAIN ON TOP

OF THE OLD FORCE MAIN.

THAT INITIATIVE WAS -- HAPPENED AND THE RESIDENTS, A

LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE TODAY GOT TOGETHER AND

PUSHED BACK ON THAT INITIATIVE.

AND WE MADE THE CITY LISTEN TO US AND TALK ABOUT WHAT

IT WOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE TO HAVE THE FORCE MAIN.

THE NEW ONE ON TOP OF THE OLD ONE.

IT WOULD HAVE GONE RIGHT THROUGH HARBOUR ISLAND AND

RIGHT THROUGH MY BACK YARD.

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.

THERE YOU GO.

18:24:46 >> I WALK BY THIS SITE EVERY DAY NOW.

I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT THE CITY RECOGNIZED THAT JUST

BECAUSE AN IDEA WAS AN IDEA MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN A GOOD

ONE.

SO WE PUSHED BACK AND THE CITY DECIDED TO MOVE THE

FORCE MAIN BETWEEN THE HISTORY MUSEUM AND THE MARRIOTT.

THAT IS WHAT THAT CONSTRUCTION SITE LOOKS LIKE RIGHT

NOW.

AGAIN, BY BY IT EVERY DAY.

THAT IS WHAT THINGS WOULD HAPPEN IF WE -- YOU MET --

YOU APPROVE THIS.

THE CONSTRUCTION ALONE WOULD SHUT DOWN THE -- ONE OF

TWO ENTRANCE WAYS TO HARBOUR ISLAND TO THE SOUTH OF THE

GATES -- TO THE SOUTH OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE WE

LIVE.

THAT IS POINT NUMBER ONE.

POINT NUMBER TWO, I WANT TO GO ON RECORD HERE THE LAST

TIME WE ALL MET WITH THE LIBERTY GROUP WAS A DISASTER.

THEY SAID IT WAS PRODUCTIVE.

ENDED VERY ABRUPTLY BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS GETTING UP TO

TALK.

AT THAT MEETING, IT WAS ASKED IF THE LIBERTY GROUP HAD

HIRED THE BALLARD GROUP TO HELP MOVE THIS INITIATIVE

FORWARD.

AND IT WAS TOLD TO US BY THE LIBERTY GROUP THAT THE

BALLARD GROUP HAD BEEN HIRED.

ANN CRUZ IS A MANAGING PARTNER OF THE BALLARD GROUP.

I MIND TO BE AN INCREDIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

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.

I AM A DISTINGUISHED UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR AT USF.

I LIVED THAT HARBOUR ISLAND FOR 26 YEARS.

AND I HAVE ALSO BEEN INVOLVED ON THE BOARD FOR ABOUT A

DOZEN YEARS, PRESIDENT FOR I THINK FIVE OR SIX YEARS.

WHAT I CAN SAY -- AND I HAD A LONG TALK.

BUT A FEW POINTS.

THE SPEAKS BEFORE HAVE SHOWN YOU VERY CLEARLY THIS IS

NOT CONSISTENT WITH THIS BUILDING WITH WHAT WE HAD.

THE VISTA, IF YOU LOOK, WOULD BE BASICALLY FLAT NOW AND

WE WILL HAVE THAT BUILDING -- THE PROPOSED HOTEL THERE.

IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE.

IT IS NOT CONSISTENT.

WHAT I WANT ALSO MENTION IS WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID.

THERE IS ONE BUILDING RIGHT NOW THAT IS -- HARBOR

COURT.

IT WAS THERE WHEN I MOVED IN.

IT WAS THREE COMMUNITIES SEVEN STORIES.

AFTER THAT, THERE WERE NO HIGH-RISES BUILT.

AND I THINK THAT IS BECAUSE A CONSCIOUS DECISION WAS

MADE TO KEEP IT ON A LOW SCALE.

AND YOU WILL FIND TWO, THREE STORIES.

YOU WILL NOT FIND ANOTHER SEVEN-STORY BUILDING.

I THINK IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A MISREPRESENTATION TO

SUGGEST THIS IS FITTING IN.

IT DOESN'T.

IT WILL BE CLEARLY AT A SITE.

AND OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED AND I WILL JUST HIGHLIGHT

THAT IT WILL IMPEDE TRAFFIC.

ONE OF THE SPEAKERS SAID -- AND IT IS RIGHT ON -- THERE

WAS NOT MUCH TRAFFIC WITH THAT BANK.

SO SAYS IT COMPARABLE IS, AGAIN, I BELIEVE A

MISREPRESENTATION WITH ALL DUE RESPECT.

IT WILL CLEARLY IMPEDE ENTRY AND EXIT INTO WHAT IS THE

WEST GATE.

PROBABLY RESULT IN THE WEST GATE BEING CLOSED FOR A

LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

THAT WILL SUBSTANTIALLY IMPACT PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE,

GETTING TO WORK.

GETTING HOME FROM WORK.

IN ADDITION, THE -- THE DEVELOPERS ARE REPRESENTING THE

AC HOTEL AS -- YOU KNOW, AS REALLY STATE THE ART OF

WHATEVER.

ALL DUE RESPECT, I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE MARRIOTT.

YOU CAN FIND THIS.

THERE ARE 30 PROPERTIES.

THE AC HOTEL IS NOT RATED AS ONE OF THE HIGHEST

QUALITIES.

WAS RATED 17 OUT OF 30.

HARBOUR ISLAND -- SOUTH OF THE GATES.

THIS IS THE KEY HERE.

SOUTH OF THE GATES IS A PREMIERE COMMUNITY.

OUR PROPERTIES OFTENTIMES, IF THEY GO ON THE MARKET,

THEY ARE SOLD WITHIN A FEW DAYS.

SO MY REQUEST IS, PLEASE, TO DENY THIS MOTION ON BEHALF

OF THE RESIDENTS.

THANK YOU.

18:28:54 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE]

18:28:57 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.

18:28:59 >> HI, GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS JESSICA SCHWARZKOPF.

1469 HARBOR WALK ROAD.

AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.

I AM ACTUALLY HERE TONIGHT WITH MY MOTHER, BRENDA.

HER AND I ARE BOTH RESIDENTS OF THE ISLANDS.

I HAVE BEEN THERE SINCE THE LATE '90S AND SHE MOVED

THERE WITH MY FATHER IN THE LATE 2000S FOR SECURITY

REASONS AND WE ARE HERE TO VOICE OUR CONCERNS REGARDING

THIS REZONING EFFORTS.

I WAS COMPELLED TO SPEAK TONIGHT BECAUSE OF AN INCIDENT

THAT HAPPENED JUST RECENTLY WITH MY MOM.

SHE NEEDED MEDICAL ATTENTION, AND I HAD TO CALL 911.

SHE DID FORTUNATELY GET THE HELP SHE NEEDED IN TIME,

BUT I COULDN'T HELP TO THINK AT THAT TIME HOW

DIFFERENTLY THINGS COULD HAVE TURNED OUT HAD THAT

HAPPENED AT ONE OF THE THOSE MANY TIMES WHEN ACCESS TO

OUR HOMES ARE IMPEDED BY THE HEAVY PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC,

CAR TRAFFIC, BRIDGE CLOSURES, ROAD CLOSURES THAT HAPPEN

DUE TO ONE OR SEVERAL EVENTS AT THE SAME TIME THAT

HAPPEN AROUND THE ISLAND.

I DID REACH OUT TO OUR FIRST RESPONDERS AFTERWARDS TO

THANK THEM.

AND I ALSO WANTED TO ASK THEM HOW THEY HANDLE THOSE

DIFFICULT TIMES AND IF THE RAPID GROWTH IN DOWNTOWN IS

AFFECTING THEIR ABILITY TO DO THEIR JOB.

I WAS TOLD IN FACT THAT THEY HAVE MADE REQUESTS FOR

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES AND FIRE STATIONS TO KEEP PACE

WITH THE RAPID GROWTH IN THIS AREA.

AND IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHERE EVERY MINUTE COUNT

OBVIOUSLY, HAVING THOSE COULD MEAN THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH AND HAVING THIS INFORMATION

RAISE MIND CONCERNS OF PROPOSED HOTEL OUTSIDE OUR MAIN

ENTRANCE AND HOW THAT CAN FURTHER EXACERBATE THE

SITUATIONS WE HAVE AND AFFECT RESPONSE TIME TO THE

ISLAND.

I UNDERSTAND TAMPA HAS GROWING PAINS BUT AN UNIQUE

SITUATION IN HARBOUR ISLAND WHERE WE ARE WITH BAYSHORE

AND THE PARADES, DOWNTOWN, THE CONVENTION CENTER, THE

ALIE.

WITH ONLY THE TWO POINTS OF ENTRY THAT WERE DISCUSSED,

ALL THE GROWTH THAT IS HAPPENING DOWN THERE WITH WATER

STREET AND THE EXPANSION WITH THAT.

IT -- JUST THE SITUATION SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE.

SO NEEDLESS TO SAY, OUR AREA IS BOOMING AND A LOT OF

UPSIDES TO THAT AND ALSO THE LIMITATIONS WHEN THE BOOM

REACHED RIGHT OUTSIDE OUR FRONT YARD.

ALL WE ARE ASKING THAT THE LAND BE USED AS IT WAS

INTENDED AND RESPECT THE FACTS THAT THE RESIDENTS OF

THE ISLAND AND OUR FIRST RESPONDERS ARE ALREADY

STRUGGLING WITH THE GROWTH EXPLOSION THAT ARE AFFECTING

OUR ACCESS, SCHEDULES AND POTENTIALLY OUR SAFETY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

18:31:35 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

18:31:37 >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.

AARON HOEFEN, GENERAL MANAGER OF THE AC HOTEL IN

WESTSHORE.

420 WEST BOY SCOUT BOULEVARD.

I WAS SWORN IN.

I'M HERE WITH ZERO TIES TO THIS PROJECT.

I'M HERE IN FAVOR OF THE BUILD.

I WANTED TO GIVE YOU SOME DETAILS ABOUT HOW MY HOTEL

RUNS.

I AM 175 ROOMS.

25 ROOMS LARGER.

150 PARKING SPACES ADJACENT TO THE HOTEL.

IT IS VERY RARE THAT WE GET BEYOND 25% CAPACITY OF THAT

PARKING.

WE DO NOT MONETIZE THE PARKING.

WE DON'T SELL THE PROPERTY IN ANY WAY.

NOW, AGAIN, I AM NOT CONNECTED WITH THE MANAGEMENT NOR

THE OWNERSHIP OF THIS BUILD.

TRAFFIC IS VERY LIMITED.

WE FIND THAT OUR SEASONED GUESTS THAT COME TO AN AC

HOTEL -- THEY ARE COMING THROUGH RIDE SHARE.

THEY ARE GENERALLY GOING TO GET TO WHERE THEY GO TO --

THEY ARE GOING TO THE CLOSEST PLACE TO THEIR BUSINESS

OR THE BUSINESS THEY ARE HERE TO SEE.

THEY ARE DOING A LOT OF WALKING.

THE WAY AC HOTELS ARE BUILT AND PLANNED IS WHERE THERE

IS WALKABLE RESTAURANTS, WALKABLE NIGHT LIFE.

WE WILL SEE A LOT OF PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC.

ARRIVAL PATTERNS TEND TO BE 9 A.M. UNTIL 11 P.M. IT IS

SPACED OUT THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

WE DON'T FIND THAT PEOPLE ARE SHOWING UP ALL AT ONE

TIME UNLESS THERE IS AN EVENT IN THE AREA.

TRAFFIC IN THAT AREA.

I WORKED AT MARRIOTT WATER STREET.

I UNDERSTAND THE TRAFFIC PATTERNS OVER THERE AND HOW

THE -- THE TWO EVENT CENTERS CAN CONGEST THAT AREA.

I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS HOTEL WILL BE A PART OF THAT.

MEETING SPACE IS VERY SMALL IN THESE HOTELS.

VERY SMALL.

AND WE FIND THAT IT'S GOING TO BE INHOUSE GUESTS THAT

ARE GOING DOWN TO THE MEETINGS.

THAT WILL BE THE DRAW FOR.

WE FIND THE LOCAL BUSINESSES AND LOCAL RESIDENCES USE

SMALL SPACES TO CONDUCT THEIR OWN BUSINESS IN A PLACE

CLOSE TO HOME.

WE FIND A LOT OF LOCAL ENGAGEMENT IN OUR LOUNGE MAINLY,

BUT ALSO BREAKFAST IN THE MORNING.

IT IS A PLACE WHERE WE HAVE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE THAT

WILL STOP IN FOR COULD HAVE HEY, HAVE IMPROMPTU

MEETINGS IN FREE SPACES IN OUR FIRST FLOOR I GUESS

GOVERNMENT PARKING GARAGE IN THIS ONE.

BUT IT IS A GREAT UPSCALE HOTEL.

NOT 17TH IN THE BRAND.

THE HIGHEST GUEST SATISFACTION OF ALL THE MARRIOTT

BRANDS AND THE FASTEST GROWING IN OUR PORTFOLIO.

SO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ANY QUESTIONS.

18:34:14 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

18:34:15 >> HAVE A GREAT EVENING.

APPRECIATE IT.

18:34:23 >> HELLO, KEN sTOLTENBERG, KENNEDY BOULEVARD, UNIT 510.

AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.

I DON'T LIVE ON HARBOUR ISLAND.

I LIVE IN THE CHANNEL DISTRICT.

I AM NOT HERE IS TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS PROJECT.

I'M HERE TO SPEAK OF THE PROCESS THAT A DEVELOPER LOOKS

INTO AS YOU MAKE AN INVESTMENT INSPECT COMMUNITY.

YOU KNOW I MADE LARGE INVESTMENTS IN THE CHANNEL

DISTRICT THAT TURNED OUT VERY WELL.

YOU LOOK AT WHAT THE CODE SAYS AND WHAT THE RULES ARE,

AND YOU TRY FOLLOW THEM.

IN THIS CASE THE APPLICANT DID EXACTLY THAT.

I NEVER HAVE SEEN A PROPERTY THAT HAS COME IN THAT HAS

BEEN NAMED CONSISTENT WITH NO VARIANCES OR WAIVERS.

NONE.

SO WHAT THEY ARE SEEKING TO DO MAY NOT BE POPULAR, BUT

IT IS CONSISTENT.

AND I THINK BY NOT TAKING THAT INTO ACCOUNT, IT MAY

CREATE OTHER UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES FOR OTHER FOLKS

LOOKING TO MAKE POSITIVE INVESTMENTS IN YOUR COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU.

18:35:26 >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCILMEMBERS.

BENNETT PAULEY, A RESIDENT OF DAVIS ISLAND ADO WORK

DOWNTOWN AND I TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE AMENITIES WE HAVE

IN DOWNTOWN.

I GUESS COULD YOU SAY I LIVE, WORK AND PLAY IN

DOWNTOWN.

I ALSO SERVE ON THE TAMPA BAY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

COUNCIL.

I AM A COMMISSIONER ON THE TAMPA HOUSING AUTHORITIES,

BUT NOT HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THEM.

I'M HERE BECAUSE HOTEL PROJECTS LIKE THE AC HOTEL ON

HARBOUR ISLAND HELPS FOLKS LIKE ME TELL A STORY.

THE STORY OF TAMPA TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD.

IT IS A STORY OF A VIBRANT AND GROWING CITY THAT IS

ATTRACTING VISITORS AND WORK FORCE TALENT TO OUR URBAN

CORE IN DROVES.

WE HAVE ALL SEEN IT.

YOU KNOW IT.

YOU HAVE READ THE PAPER.

IN MY CAREER AS A BOARD CERTIFIED CONSTRUCTION LAWYER.

I UNDERSTAND THE FRICTION THAT DOLE DEVELOPS WHEN

DEVELOPMENTS ARE PLANNED NEAR NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT THAT

HAPPENS USUALLY IN THE SUBURBS.

HERE FOLKS, WE ARE IN THE URBAN CORE.

AND HARBOUR ISLAND IS A VITAL AND ESSENTIAL PART OF THE

URBAN CORE.

THE URBAN CORE IS WHERE A CITY GENERATES THE ENERGY.

IT GENERATES ITS PASSION AND COMMUNITY SPIRIT.

AND HOTELS LIKE THIS BELONG IN THE URBAN CORE.

I BELIEVE THIS PROJECT WILL ENHANCE TAMPA'S OPPORTUNITY

TO HOST MORE LARGE-SCALE EVENTS AND BRING MORE VISITORS

TO OUR COMMUNITY THAT WILL HELP LOCAL BUSINESSES THAT

NEED THOSE VISITORS AND WILL HELP OUR LOCAL ECONOMY.

LARGER CONFERENCES MEAN MORE VISITORS, MEANS MORE

REVENUE.

THIS DEVELOPER HAS REALLY DONE A LOT TO ACCOMMODATE THE

CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED.

I UNDERSTAND IT MAY NOT BE POPULAR FOR THE RESIDENTS

THAT LIVE THERE AND EYE EMPATHIZE WITH THAT.

BUT WE LIVE AND THEY LIVE IN AN URBAN CORE AND THAT IS

WHAT IS LIVING IN AN URBAN CORE IS ABOUT.

YOU ARE GOING HAVE CONSTRUCTION.

YOU ARE YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE DEVELOPMENT AND BUS WE

ARE IN A GROWING CITY AND THAT IS WHAT WE NEED IN

TAMPA.

THIS PROJECT IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF HOW A HOTEL CAN

FILL A BUSINESS NEED CREATE JOBS AND ALSO FIT INTO THE

SURROUNDING AREAS.

I COMMEND THE TEAM, THE LIBERTY GROUP FOR LISTENING,

FOR ADJUSTING THEIR PLAN AND MAKING THE ACCOMMODATIONS

THEY HAD.

THE STORY OF TAMPA NEEDS THIS DEVELOPMENT.

AND I ASK YOUR FAVORABLE SUPPORT.

THANK YOU, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

18:38:02 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

18:38:04 >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL CHAIR CITRO AND

COUNCILMEMBERS.

MY NAME IS BEA BARE.

1,000 SOUTH HARBOUR ISLAND, NUMBER 2512.

I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.

MY OPPOSITION TO THESE ACTIONS HAVE BEEN DETAILED IN

CORRESPONDENCE TO YOU AND TO MARRIOTT'S CEO OF WHICH

YOU WERE COPIED.

I KEEP MULLING OVER IN MY MIND WHAT VALUE WILL THIS

PROJECT BRING TO TAMPA BAY.

BESIDES ADDITIONAL TAX REVENUES, I AM HARD-PRESSED TO

COME UPANY REDEEMING QUALITIES IT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO

TAMPA'S PROGRESS AS DESIGNED.

LIBERTY GROUP PROMOTES THE HOTEL AS ICONIC.

MANY AGE TIFFS COME TO MIND THAT DESCRIBE THIS PROJECT;

HOWEVER, NONE ARE SYNONYMOUS WITH ICONIC.

LIBERTY GROUP STANDS WITH THE CLAIM THAT IT WILL ABU

TEAK HOTEL.

REALLY?

BOUTIQUE HOTELS ARE INTIMATE, HAVE A COZY AMBIENCE,

THAT HAVE A THEME PRESENT THROUGHOUT THE HOTEL.

AN EXAMPLE IS HOTEL AIYN YBOR.

AND LOOK HOW IT RESPECTED, EMBRACED AND PROUDLY

INTEGRATED YBOR'S RICH LEGACIES INTO ITS PROPERTY.

EVEN ITS RESTAURANT NAME, CROW ABOUT ITS HERITAGE.

A BOUTIQUE HOTEL HAS STYLE.

IT HAS BY NASH.

PINACHE.

IN PROPOSED HOTEL.

THE STRUCTURE IS A COLD CONCRETE STEEL AND GLASS

BUILDING THAT IS COMPLETELY VOID OF A PERSONALITY.

IT IS AN OVERSIZED TRAFFIC-INDUCING, UNIMAGINE I HAVE

IT EYESORE THAT COULD POSSIBLY LOOK GREAT ELSEWHERE,

BUT NOT ON HARBOUR ISLAND.

THAT LIBERTY GROUP'S OPEN HOUSE MEETING I URGE $MR.

SHAW TO DO SOMETHING WE COULD BE PROUD OF.

SOMETHING SMALL, UNIQUE, ATTRACTIVE AND COMPATIBLE WITH

HARBOUR ISLAND'S ATTRIBUTES.

SOMETHING WELCOMED.

SOMETHING TRULY ICONIC.

HE HAS THE WHEREWITHAL TO DO THAT.

CITY COUNCIL, PLEASE, ENSURE TAMPA'S QUEST FOR FURTHER

GREATNESS BY ENVISIONING SOMETHING FOR THAT SITE THAT

ADDS TO TAMPA'S CHARACTER AND SETS US APART FROM OTHER

COMMUNITIES INSTEAD OF IMPROVING SOMETHING THAT IS

STRONGLY OPPOSED AND COULD BE ANYWHERE USA.

IN MAKING YOUR IS HE SIGNIFICANCES THIS EVENING, PLEASE

DO NOT CONDEMN US TO MEDIOCRITY.

THANK YOU.

18:40:50 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

18:40:52 >> MAY I ASK ONE HOUSEKEEPING QUESTION?

ON THE SIGN IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING -- IN FRONT OF THE

BUILDING OF THE NOTICE FOR REZONING REZ 21-52.

THERE IS A SECOND SIGN THAT TALKS ABOUT A USE CHANGE

CASE NPC 22-2.

IS THAT -- IS THAT WITHIN THIS?

I AM TALKING ABOUT THE SIGN THAT IS IN FRONT OF 800

HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD.

AND I BELIEVE IT HAD TODAY -- IT HAD TODAY'S DATE ON

IT.

I AM JUST ASKING THE QUESTION.

THERE ARE TWO SIGNS IN FRONT OF THAT PROPERTY.

ONE HAS THE REZ AND THIS OTHER ONE IS N PC.

IS IT?

18:41:41 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MR. CREMER?

18:41:42 >> JAKE CREMER FOR THE RECORD.

I THINK THIS GENTLEMAN IS TALKING OF THE NOTICE OF

PROPOSED CHANGE SIGN.

THAT IS THE OTHER ITEM WE ARE HEARING SIMULTANEOUSLY

TONIGHT.

TWO ITEMS WE ARE HEARING BOTH.

18:41:54 >> WE ARE TALKING OF BOTH THINGS.

THAT IS ALL.

18:41:58 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
CORRECT.

18:41:59 >> EXCUSE ME.

I WILL TRY NOT TO BE REDUNDANT.

A LOT OF GREAT COMMENTS.

MYSELF AND MY WIFE HAVE -- I AM GREG FAGIOLI.

I LIVE ON HARBOR COURT.

YOU HEARD THAT NAME.

I AND MY WIFE LIVED THERE AND I LIVED IT FOR SINCE 19

-- EXCUSE ME SINCE 1999.

MY WIFE AND I ARE FIRMLY AGAINST THIS.

RATHER THAN BE REDUNDANT.

BRING UP A FEW FACTS.

SOME THAT I HAVE READ THAT THE HARBOUR ISLAND IS -- IS

-- POSSESSES 283% MORE POPULATION THAN THE AVERAGE IN

TAMPA.

ALREADY HAVE WAY MORE POPULATION DENSITY ON THE HARBOUR

ISLAND.

ALL THIS IS GOING TO DO IS BRING A LITTLE BIT MORE.

I UNDERSTAND ABOUT NOT BEING AN EXPERT, BUT I GUESS ALL

THE FOLKS THAT YOU HEAR THAT AREN'T FOR THIS ARE

EXPERTS BECAUSE WE LIVE THERE.

WE GO THROUGH THOSE INTERSECTIONS ALL THE TIME.

WE LOOK THERE.

I WILL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT SOMEBODY

MIGHT HAVE, BECAUSE I AM THERE.

I UNDERSTAND.

THE NEXT THING IS SINCE IT WAS BROUGHT UP ABOUT OTHER

PLACES.

AND WE BROUGHT UP YBOR CITY.

CERTAINLY PLACES LIKE RAYMOND JAMES STADIUM AREA, YBOR

CITY, RIVERSIDE HEIGHTS, EVEN ON DAVIS ISLAND SINCE THE

GENTLEMAN MENTIONED IT, THERE IS A NEED AND A LOT OF

OTHER PLACES RATHER THAN PUTTING IT ON THE HARBOUR

ISLAND.

THE OTHER THING IS, THE GENTLEMAN LEFT WAS TWO SPEAKERS

BEFORE ME, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING THAT HE

COMMENTED THAT THE RESIDENTS WHO ARE VOTERS ARE NOT IN

FAVOR OF THIS.

SO I HAVEN'T MET ANYBODY ON HARBOUR ISLAND AND OVER THE

LAST FEW MONTHS THAT HAS BEEN IN FAVOR OF THIS.

SO I WOULD ALSO SAY SINCE WE HAVE THIS POSTED --

POSTAGE STAMP SIZE WE WANT TO BUILD THIS COLUMN ON,

JUST BECAUSE THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY AND VACANT LAND

DOESN'T MEAN WE HAVE TO BUILD ON IT.

IT DOESN'T MEAN IT.

YOU CAN JUST LEAVE IT JUST THE WAY IT IS.

AND NO HARM, NO FOUL.

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

18:44:13 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

18:44:15 >> MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

GOOD AFTERNOON OR GOOD EVENING.

BOB MORRISON AND I STAND BEFORE YOU TODAY -- ACTUALLY

WITH TWO PERSPECTIVES.

AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.

FIRST, I SERVE AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF HILLSBOROUGH

COUNTY'S HOTEL AND MOTEL ASSOCIATION.

SECONDLY, SOME OF YOU ARE AWARE THAT I ACTUALLY WAS

PART OF THE CITY LEADERSHIP TEAM IN THE 1980S WHEN

HARBOUR ISLAND WAS ACTUALLY BROUGHT TO THE TABLE BY

BENEFICIAL FINANCE.

SO I COME TO YOU THIS EVENING FROM THOSE TWO

PERSPECTIVES.

I AM STANDING HERE IN FAVOR OF AGENDA ITEMS 2 AND 3.

HERE ARE THE REASONS WHY.

NUMBER ONE, WHEN WE TALK OF HOTELS IN TODAY'S

ENVIRONMENT, THERE IS A CONCEPT CALLED GRAND STANDARDS.

WHICH MEANS THAT THERE IS A QUALITY CONTROL ELEMENT

THAT IS SEPARATE FROM THE OWNER, SEPARATE FROM THE

MANAGEMENT TEAM, WHERE IN THIS INSTANCE, MARRIOTT COME

IN PERIODICALLY AND DICTATES IMPROVEMENTS, UPGRADES,

EVEN DURING RECESSIONARY PERIODS TO ENSURE THAT THE

BRAND REPUTATION IS MAINTAINED.

SECONDLY, ALL OF YOU ARE AWARE OF THE REALITY OF

TRANSPORTATION APPS.

THOSE APPS HAVE DRAMATICALLY SHIFTED THE IMPACT THAT

TRAFFIC USED TO HAVE AT OUR HOTEL PROPERTIES.

YOU HEARD AARON FROM AC ON BOY SCOUT BOULEVARD DESCRIBE

WHAT IS NOW HAPPENING WITH HIS PARKING.

WE ARE FINDING MORE AND MORE THAT WHERE THERE IS

LIMITED MEETING SPACE IN THE FACILITY, THAT THE NEED

FOR PARKING OR THE IMPACT OF OVERFLOW PARKING IS

DRAMATICALLY OFFSET BY THESE TRANSPORTATION APPS, EVEN

TAXIS NOW OPERATE WITH THIS APP TECHNOLOGY.

THIRDLY, WHAT WE ALSO -- WHAT WE WILL SHARE WITH YOU IS

THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT HOW THIS PROPERTY WILL ULTIMATELY

OPERATE, ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF THESE HOTELS AND THE

HOTEL INDUSTRY IS JOB CREATION.

NOT JUST HIGH-END JOBS.

B FROM ENTRY LEVEL, REQUIRING HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMAS TO

GRADUATE DEGREES.

AS A COMMUNITY, AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW, IT IS SO

IMPORTANT THAT WE GIVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE WHO

ARE RESIDENTS OF THIS CITY TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO

WORK AND THE BUSINESSES AS THEY -- THAT THEY WORK FOR

HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GROW.

FINALLY I WILL CLOSE WITH THIS OBSERVATION.

IN 1982, THERE WAS A VERY CLEAR UNDERSTANDING THAT

THERE WAS A DEMARCATION BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL SOUTH

NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE MORE COMMERCIAL NORTH NEIGHBORHOOD

OR NORTH SECTION OF THE ISLAND.

AS A RESULT, WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE IS YOU COMPATIBLE.

THANK YOU.

18:47:33 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU, SIR.

18:47:38 >> GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS FRAN LAVANDERA.

I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.

A 30-YEAR RESIDENT.

MY DECEASED HUSBAND WAS AN ORIGINAL HOMEOWNER THERE AND

PRESIDENT OF THE HARBOUR ISLAND HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION

WHICH MR. REFERENCE MENTIONED IS THE SEVEN-STORY

CONDOMINIUMS IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE HEALTH CLUB.

I THINK IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO REALIZE WHEN

HE STATES THAT THE HOTEL IS -- THAT OUR GATE IS SOUTH

OF THE HOTEL.

IT IS IMMEDIATELY SOUTH.

IT IS ABOUT ONE CAR LENGTH FROM THEIR LOADING DOCK.

AND NOW THE SHARED PARKING BETWEEN THE HEALTH CLUB AND

THAT BUILDING.

HALF OF THE PEOPLE THAT GO TO THE HEALTH CLUB AT A

MINIMUM LIVE ON HARBOUR ISLAND.

THEY ARE ALREADY TRAVELLING TO THE ISLAND.

I JUST DO NOT SEE HOW THIS IN ANY WAY BE BENEFICIAL TO

US.

I THINK IT IS GOING TO IMPACT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND, AGAIN, I THINK THAT IS THE IMPORTANT WORD

"NEIGHBORHOOD."

THIS IS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

THIS IS WHERE WE TRAVEL IN AND OUT EVERY DAY.

AND THE TRAFFIC IS HORRENDOUS ALREADY.

IT WAS VERY NAIVE OF THAT GENTLEMAN FROM THE AC OF

WESTSHORE TO COMPARE HIS HOTEL FOR WHAT THIS WILL

PROSPECTIVELY BE.

IF YOU TRAVEL ANYWHERE OFF OF THE ISLAND IN CHANNELSIDE

IF THERE IS AN EVENT, A FOOTBALL GAME, A HOCKEY GAME, A

CONVENTION.

PEOPLE ARE LINED UP TO GET INTO THE MARRIOTT.

THEY ARE LINED UP TO GET INTO THE HARBOUR ISLAND HOTEL

TO REGISTER, THE EMBASSY SUITES, ALL OF THEM.

THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING TO BRING TO OUR DATE.

THE COMIC CON PEOPLE, THE METRO CON PEOPLE.

ALL OF THE CONVENTIONERS THEY ARE PROPOSING TO BRING TO

OUR GATE, THE FRONT DOORS OF OUR HOME.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

18:49:25 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

18:49:28 >> GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE CHAIRMAN CITRO.

HONORABLE MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL, CITY STAFF AND

OBVIOUSLY THE PUBLIC HERE WARM APPROXIMATING.

SANTIAGO CORRATO.

18:49:44 >> THE OF -- TAMPA BAY.

TOUR CIVIL A ECONOMIC DRIVE FOR US.

OVER THE LAST TEN OR SO YEARS, WE HAVE BUILT A

DESTINATION BRAND THAT HAS REACHED EPIC PROPORTIONS

VISITATION FROM LEISURE TRAVELERS, INTERNATIONAL,

CONVENTIONS, EVENTS AND MEETINGS.

I WILL SAY SO SUCCESSFUL THAT RIGHT NOW HOTEL OCCUPANCY

IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY IS IN THE HIGH 80S.

MEANING THAT THE CONVENTION CENTER THAT WE ARE SPENDING

TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON COLLECTIVELY, AND WE CAN

ALL SEE THAT, REALLY NEEDS MORE HOTEL INVENTORY.

YOU KNOW I -- I AM VERY SENSITIVE TO MY FRIENDS ON

HARBOUR ISLAND.

I SERVED AS A NEIGHBORHOOD ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE CITY

OF TAMPA AND CHIEF OF STAFF AND I UNDERSTAND ALL THE

PERSPECTIVES.

I THINK WHEN OVER 30 YEARS AGO THE CITY INVESTED IN A

CONVENTION CENTER, THIS WAS THE NEARBY DEVELOPMENT THAT

THAT CONVENTION CENTER WAS SUPPOSED TO DRIVE.

HOTELS THAT WOULD BE FILLED WITH CONVENTIONEERS AND

MEETINGS THAT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO OUR ECONOMY.

QUITE HONESTLY A HOTEL PROPERTY IS NOT JUST A HOTEL

PROPERTY AND DOES NOT JUST PROVIDE JOBS TO OUR

NEIGHBORS.

THAT PROPERTY WILL PAY CITY AND COUNTY TAXES.

WILL BUY WATER FROM THE CITY.

WILL PAY THE CITY FOR WASTE SERVICES.

AND ALSO WILL PAY TECO FOR POWER AND ELECTRIC WHICH

MEANS THAT WE ARE ALSO BENEFITING FROM THOSE TAXES AND

QUITE HONESTLY, THE REASON ALL FLORIDIANS HAVE NO NORTH

CAROLINA TAX IS BECAUSE TOUR CIVIL A DRIVER TO OUR

SALES TAX.

AND OUR CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER IN THE STATE HAVE HAD

OVER A QUARTER OF FLORIDA SALES TAX IS DERIVED FROM

VISITORS.

AND SO THESE ARE INDIVIDUALS THAT COME AND SUPPORT OUR

QUALITY OF LIFE AND WE DON'T HAVE TO PROVIDE SERVICES

FOR.

SO I APOLOGIZE TO MY GOOD FRIENDS IN HARBOUR ISLAND

MANY SAY GOOD JOB IN YOUR TESTIMONY TONIGHT.

BUT ECONOMICALLY AND FOR THE SUPPORT OF OUR TAMPA

CONVENTION CENTER, ANOTHER HOTEL IS NEEDED, AND

UNFORTUNATELY, IT IS WITHIN THE VICINITY OF THE TAMPA

CONVENTION CENTER.

I WANT TO THANK YOU.

GREAT TO BE BACK HOME EVEN UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.

IT HAS BEEN NINE YEARS SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE.

AND IT IS ALWAYS AN HONOR TO APPEAR BEFORE YOU.

THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING ME WITH THE OPPORTUNITY.

18:52:12 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

18:52:14 >> HI, SUSAN DOYLE.

I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.

I LIVE AT 948 HEMINGWAY CIRCLE.

FOR -- IT IS ACTUALLY OUR SECOND RESIDENCE.

WE HAVE BEEN THERE 18 YEARS ON HARBOUR ISLAND.

I WANT TO MAKE A COUPLE OF VERY IMPORTANT POINTS, BUT

NOT BE REDUNDANT.

FIRST OF ALL, I AM -- I AM AN EXPERT ON LIVING ON

HARBOUR ISLAND BUT I AM NOT A EXPERT WITNESS NOR ARE

ANY THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE TESTIFIED WHO DON'T EVEN

LIVE ON HARBOUR ISLAND, SUCH AS THE GENTLEMAN FROM

DAVIS ISLAND AND OTHERS.

BUT I JUST -- I DID SOME RESEARCH ON VISION IMAGINE

2040, TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

AND I SAW SOME IMPORTANT HIGHLIGHTS.

DEFINING WHAT A LIVABLE CITY IS.

IT FEELS SAFE.

THIS PROPOSAL WILL NOT MAKE OVER 3,000 RESIDENTS NOR

ANY OF THE PEDESTRIANS OR THE SCOOTERS, THE PEDESTRIANS

WHO VISIT THE CONVENTION CENTER FEEL VERY SAFE.

I CAN ASSURE YOU OF THAT.

THE -- THIS HOTEL WILL NOT OFFER THIS SORT OF

OPPORTUNITY THAT 40 YEARS OF HOMEOWNERS WHO ARE PAID

SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY TAXES AND HAVE BEEN THE DRIVER OF

-- OF OUR DOWNTOWN AREA.

I MEAN, WHEN JEFF -- WHEN SPP BOUGHT THE 40 ACRES,

THERE WERE EMPTY PARKING LOTS.

SO WHO IS TALKING ABOUT AN ECONOMIC DRIVER.

WE WERE THE DRIVERS OF DOWNTOWN.

AND WE CREATED A SAFE LITTLE COMMUNITY FOR OURSELVES.

THE OTHER THING IS, A LIVABLE CITY HAS TO BE

ATTRACTIVE.

THIS PROPOSAL IS NOT ATTRACTIVE AT ALL.

AND I WELCOME MISS HURTAK, WHO DIME VISIT OUR AREA.

BALK YOU CAN SEE THE LINE OF DEMARCATION.

SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD IS A PRIVATE COMMUNITY.

THAT IS WHO WE ARE.

3,000 OF US, WALKING AREAS, DOG WALKING, CHILDREN WHO

WAIT FOR BUSES TWICE A DAY, TRANSPORTED.

THIS HOTEL WILL PUT ALL OF US AT RISK.

AND SO I SAY ONE LAST THING TO YOU.

YOU, THE CITY COUNCIL, YOU ARE OUR GUARDIANS.

WE HAVE GIVEN YOU THROUGH OUR VOTES CONSERVATORSHIP OF

ALL THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY.

DO THE RIGHT THING, PLEASE.

18:54:55 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

18:54:58 >> SAM HALLENBECK.

I HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT OF HARBOUR ISLAND FOR 23 YEARS.

AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN.

MY BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THIS PROJECT IS PRIMARILY WHERE

IT IS BEING PLACED AND THE ORIENTATION OF IT.

THAT IS OUR WEST GATE.

AND WE WILL BE STARING AS WE ENTER THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AS

WE LEAVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD SQUARELY INTO THE REAR ENDS

OF THIS THING GIVEN THE GARBAGE AREA.

AND ALL THE HARDWARE, THE PIPING, THE DUMPSTERS, THE

GREASE TRAPS AND THE LIKE ALL SET TO THE TUNE OF

BEEPING TRASH TRUCKS, DELIVERY TRUCKS AND ROARING

EXHAUST FANS.

LET'S NOT FORGET THE FAY LOS ANGELES.

SECURITY LIGHTS THAT WILL STAIR US STRAIGHT INTO --

STARE US STRAIGHT INTO THE WINDOWS.

THEY SAID THEY WILL KEEP THE GARAGE DOOR CLOSE $.

YOU LOOK THROUGH THE CITY OF TAMPA AND THE HIGH-RISES,

MOST OF THE TIME THEY ARE NOT CLOSED.

THEY ARE WIDE OPEN WITH THE PIPING AND OTHER STUFF

GOING ON.

THE DEVELOPERS SAY THE LOT IS MIXED USE.

WE HAVE BEEN TALKING A LOT ABOUT MIXED USE TONIGHT.

AND THAT ABSOLUTELY NEGATES THE ISLAND'S EXECUTION.

EVERYTHING SOUTH OF THE KNIGHT'S RUN MEDIAN IS BY

DESIGN A PARK-LIKE SUBURBAN OASIS IN THE MIDDLE.

CITY AND THAT LAND DOES NOT SERVE AS AN EXTENSION OF

THE CITY'S DOWNTOWN INDUSTRIAL AESTHETICS.

IF THIS HOTEL GOES UP IT WILL SPIT INTO THE COLLECTIVE

FACE OF EVERYTHING WE BUILT THERE AND DOES NOTHING MORE

THAN TO PAVE THE WAY FOR ONE GROUP OF INVESTORS TO MAKE

THE BUCK OF THE EXPENSE OF 3,000 PEOPLE WHO LIVE FULL

TIME BACK BEHIND THOSE GATES AND NOTHING SHORT OF

PATHETIC.

THANK YOU.

18:56:43 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

18:56:45 >> MY NAME IS WAYNE CURTIS.

I LIVE AT 330 INNER HARBOR CIRCLE IN HARBOUR ISLAND

WITH MY WIFE, ROSEMARY.

THE BEAUTIFUL WOMAN BEHIND ME.

AND I ACTUALLY THINK A LOT OF WHAT THE SPEAKERS SAID

THAT WERE PRO THE HOTEL IS REASONABLE.

BUT THERE IS ONE ITEM THAT HAS BEEN MENTIONED BUT I

JUST REALLY WANT TO DRIVE HOME THE FACT THE HOTEL IS

HERE.

THE GATE TO HARBOUR ISLAND IS LITERALLY -- I THINK IF

YOU GET PROBABLY THREE CARS, ALL THOSE TRUCKS WON'T BE

ABLE TO TURN INTO THE ENTRANCE, THE SHARED ENTRANCE

WITH HARBOUR ISLAND ATHLETIC CLUB WITH THE HOTEL.

IT WILL CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC BACK-UP.

I WOULD SAY IF THEY CAN SOMEHOW BRING ALL THE TRUCKS

OFF OF ABBEY'S WAY, I WOULD FEEL LIKE I AM CUTTING OFF

PART OF MY FARM A COMPROMISE.

I WOULD GIVE THEM -- I GOOD WOULD GRANT THEM THAT

HOTEL.

BUT THE GATE ENTRANCE IS LITERALLY RIGHT HERE.

THE TRUCK ENTRANCE -- MIGHT BE TWO OR THREE CARS BACK.

THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TURN IN.

IT WILL BE CATASTROPHIC AND THEN OF COURSE THE KIDS AND

THE BUSES.

THAT IS AN ISSUE.

THAT COULD ALWAYS BE WORKED OUT.

I AM TELLING YOU -- I KNOW YOU SAW THE ENTRANCE.

YOU GO THERE AT 8:00 IN THE MORNING, 9:00, 10:00 IN THE

MORNING.

THERE ARE PLUMBER TRUCKS.

CARPENTER TRUCKS.

LAWN SERVICE TRUCKS.

WHATEVER.

THEY ARE JUST NO WAY.

SO I WILL TELL THEM IF THEY COULD MAKE THE ENTRANCE OFF

OF KNIGHT'S RUN FOR THE TRUCKS, I CAN LIVE WITH IT, BUT

TO ME THAT IS THE SINGLE BIGGEST -- IT WILL BE

CATASTROPHIC.

IT WILL BE GRIDLOCK AND OBVIOUSLY WHEN THE CONSTRUCTION

GOES ON, WE ARE ALL ABOUT TO LIVE THROUGH THAT PAIN IF

IT DOES HAPPEN.

I CAN EVEN LIVE WITH THAT.

BUT IT IS -- THAT ENTRANCE FOR THE TRUCKS AND THE

DELIVERY, UNLESS THEY SAID WE WILL HAVE IT DONE FROM 4

A.M. TO 7 A.M. AND WON'T LET IT COME IN.

THAT MAKES IT MORE ACCESSIBLE.

TO ME THE SINGLE BIGGEST THING IS THE CLUSTER TO GET ON

TO HARBOUR ISLAND AND THAT IS OUR ENTRANCE TO OUR HOME.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

18:58:57 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

EXCUSE ME, SIR -- OKAY.

I AM SORRY.

COUNCILMAN VIERA.

18:59:05 >>LUIS VIERA:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIR.

GIVE 'BECAUSE A COUPLE OF FOLKS HAVE BROUGHT UP THE

CONSTRUCTION ISSUE WHICH IS A VERY RELEVANT ISSUE ON

NUMEROUS GROUNDS.

BUT NUMBER ONE -- SOLO QUESTION.

WHAT RELEVANCY DOES THE CONSTRUCTION PERIOD HAVE ON

CRITERIA USED TO SUPPORT OR DENY A PROJECT?

I AM NEVER HEARD OF IT HAVING.

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE.

18:59:35 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
WELL, COUNCIL, I BELIEVE -- I WAS

DISCUSSING THAT WITH MISS WELLS, AND IT -- MISS WELLS,

DO YOU WANT TO ADDRESS THAT PLEASE IN THE COMPREHENSIVE

PLAN.

18:59:49 >>CATE WELLS:
THANK YOU, CATE WELLS, CHIEF ASSISTANT

CITY ATTORNEY.

I WILL HAVE TO DEFER TO STAFF IN INTERPRETING BOTH THE

CRITERIA IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AS WELL AS THE

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

WHEN FIRST RAISED, THE POLICY I THOUGHT ABOUT IN THE

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 9.3.8.

BUT AS I READ IT, I REALIZE WHAT IT SAYS IS, IT IS THE

INTENT OF THE CITY THAT NEW RESIDENTIAL REDEVELOPMENT

PROJECTS SHALL BE MINIMALLY DISRUPTIVE TO ADJACENT

AREAS.

THAT IS, OF COURSE, TALKING OF RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS AND

NOT A HOTEL OF THIS NATURE.

IF JENNIFER MALONE, IF SHE IS AWARE OF ANY POLICIES IN

THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WHERE THAT SPECIFIC ISSUE WOULD

COME INTO PLAY IN, I WOULD APPRECIATE IF SHE CAN

RESPOND TO THAT.

19:00:37 >>JENNIFER MALONE:
JENNIFER MALONE -- THANK YOU,

JENNIFER MALONE WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

I WILL LOOK IN THE PLAN.

I AM UNAWARE OF ANY OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

THE ONE THAT MISS WELLS REFERENCED WAS THE FIRST ONE

THINK THAT THOUGHT OF TOO.

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.

I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY CLEARLY WE DON'T NEED AN ANSWER

NOW AND BETTER TO LOOK AT IT AND BE RIGHT THAN

OTHERWISE, I JUST NEVER CONSIDERED THAT IN JUDGING A

PROJECT.

AND I JUST WANTED TO ASK THAT QUESTION.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK.

THANK YOU.

19:01:12 >> THANKS.

19:01:14 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
I AM SORRY, MADAM.

MISS MALONE, ARE YOU STILL THERE?

19:01:20 >>JENNIFER MALONE:
I AM ALWAYS HERE.

YES, HOW CAN I HELP YOU.

19:01:27 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
DID YOU HEAR MY QUESTION TO MISS

MANDELL EARLIER ABOUT WHETHER THE -- THE LINE OF

DEMARCATION BETWEEN THE -- THE INTENSITY AND THE

RESIDENTIAL.

WAS THAT SET BY DESIGN BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND

BY THE CITY?

AND IF SO, WHEN.

BUT WHEN YOU COME BACK TO EVEN COUNCILMAN VIERA, YOU

CAN ANSWER MINE.

PLEASE AND THANK YOU.

19:01:53 >>JENNIFER MALONE:
SURE, THANK YOU.

I WILL BE BACK.

19:01:55 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

YES, MADAM.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

19:01:58 >> SURE.

ROSEMARY CURTIS 330 INNER HARBOR CIRCLE.

WHEN I HEARD OF THE PROJECT, MY IMMEDIATE THOUGHT WAS

TRAFFIC AS YOU HEARD FROM EVERYBODY TODAY.

I MEAN, TRAFFIC IS -- TRAFFIC IS REALLY TOUGH.

A GRIDLOCK GETTING ON AND OFF THE ISLAND.

NOT JUST LIGHTNING GAMES BUT OUR SPORTING EVENTS,

CONCERTS AND CONVENTIONS.

THE CONVENTIONS ARE ROUTINE.

RIVER WALK, BOAT PARADES, FIREWORKS CELEBRATION.

ONGOING.

IT IS WONDERFUL, BUT CAUSES A LOT OF TRAFFIC FOR US.

SO YOU MIGHT SAY, OH, WELL THIS -- ONE MORE COMMERCIAL

PROJECT WILL MATTER.

EVERY COMMERCIAL PROJECT MATTERS TO OUR ABILITY TO GET

ON AND OFF THE ISLAND.

I HEARD TONIGHT TODAY ONE OF THE COMPARINGS TO US WITH

CHANNELSIDE.

WE ARE NOTHING LIKE CHANNELSIDE.

CHANNELSIDE IS A GRID.

A MILLION DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET TO POINT A TO POINT B.

WE HAVE ONE WAY TO GET ON AND OFF THE ISLAND.

MY LAST ITEM WAS THE MAIN AS MY HUSBAND'S.

THE ACCESS.

THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO HARBOUR ISLAND IS EXACTLY NEXT TO

WHERE THEY WILL BE GOING AND MY MAIN THING IS -- I

DON'T KNOW IF YOU WERE AWARE OF THAT.

SERVICE VEHICLE GOING ON TO HARBOUR ISLAND IS NOT

ALLOWED TO ENTER THROUGH THAT GATE.

NOW CURRENTLY, UNDER OUR EXISTING SITUATION, THEY MUST

GO TO THE EAST GATE.

SO WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TAKING PROBABLY BIGGER SERVICE

VEHICLES, FUNNELLING THEM INTO THE GUEST LANE WHICH IS

ALREADY BACKED UP, PULLING INTO A VERY TIGHT TURN ON TO

THE PROPERTY.

WHEN I SAW THE SERVICE ENTRANCE, I WAS APPALLED.

TO GO INTO -- PULL THROUGH INTO THE ATHLETIC CLUB

ENTRANCE WITH ALL THE ATHLETIC CLUB MEMBERS OF WHICH I

WAS ONE AND INTO THE SERVICE AREA UNDER THE HOTEL IS A

VERY, VERY TIGHT AREA.

THAT, I THINK, WAS THE MOST -- THE MOST INAPPROPRIATE

THING I SAW IN THE PROJECT WAS WHERE THE SERVICE

ENTRANCE IS.

AND AGAIN, THERE WILL BE SPILLOVER FROM THAT HOTEL INTO

THE HARBOUR ISLAND AND ALREADY IS WITH AMERICAN SOCIAL

AND JACKSONS.

ALREADY PEOPLE PARKING UNAUTHORIZED IN THE HARBOUR

ISLAND LOT.

IMPLICATIONS OF HAVING EVERYTHING IN THIS VERY, VERY

TIGHT ZONE.

I WANT TO LEAVE WITH YOU THIS REMINDER, OUR SERVICE

VEHICLES CURRENTLY DO NOT GO IN THAT ENTRANCE.

THANK YOU.

19:04:39 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

19:04:41 >> I AM CHRISTIE WENSON.

316 INNER HARBOR CIRCLE.

A COMMERCIAL INTERIOR DESIGNER.

I WORKED LOCALLY -- I DO CONSULTING WORKS FOR VETERAN

AFFAIRS, MOSTLY OUT IN CALIFORNIA.

I ONLY LIVED IN HARBOUR ISLAND AND I LIVED THERE 22

YEARS NOW.

AND -- SO I HAVE SEEN THE GROWTH AND, YES, IT IS A

STRUGGLE WITH THE TRAFFIC AND ALL THAT, BUT BESIDES THE

TRAFFIC, WE ARE AN UNIQUE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.

YOU KNOW, IT'S -- IT IS JUST SO UNIQUE TO HAVE THE

RESIDENCES.

I LOVE THE QUIET, YOU KNOW -- I AM IN THE BUSTLE BUT I

COME BACK ON TO HARBOUR ISLAND AND IT IS LIKE WHEW,

ZEN.

ADDING A HOTEL WILL JUST TAKE AWAY FROM EVERYTHING THAT

WE LOVE AND APPRECIATE ABOUT HARBOUR ISLAND.

AND THEY CLAIM THEY ARE LISTENING TO US.

IT WASN'T UPROAR IN THE LAST MEETING.

I MEAN, I BARELY SPOKE -- HEARD ANYONE THAT WANTS THIS

HOTEL.

THEY CLAIM BOUTIQUE HOTEL.

IF YOU LOOK UP "BOUTIQUE" IT IS TYPICALLY TEN TO 100

ROOMS.

THIS IS -- WHAT, 250.

SO A LOT MORE THAN A BOUTIQUE HOTEL.

BOUTIQUE HOTEL.

IT IS NOT UNIQUE.

IT IS A LOT OF THE CURRENTS DESIGN GOING ON ANYWHERE

YOU GO ON TO ANY CITY.

AND TRAFFIC -- I MEAN, WE DO -- YOU AGAIN, A LOT OF

PEOPLE ADDRESSED THE GATE.

IF OFF LINE OF THREE CARS WAITING TO GET INTO HARBOUR

ISLAND, IT BLOCKS PEOPLE THAT ARE IN LINE TRYING TO GET

INTO THE ATHLETIC CLUB OR THE FUTURE HOTEL.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WITH THE VALET, HOW ARE THEY GOING

TO VAT DATE THE PURPOSE OF YOUR VISIT AND PROTECT

PEOPLE FROM PARKING THERE FOR EVENTS.

ARE THEY GOING TO QUESTION THEM, OH, NO -- PEOPLE ARE

GOING TO LIE.

AND I WOULDN'T CONSIDER US THE URBAN CORE.

WE ARE, AGAIN, UNIQUE OUTSKIRTS.

WE ARE RESIDENCES.

YES WE ARE -- IF WE ARE GOING TO HAVE GROWTH, I WOULD

RATHER SEE IT ZONED AS IT IS OR MIXED USE WITH MORE

RESIDENCES, RESTAURANTS AND THINGS THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY

USE.

THANK YOU.

19:07:03 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

19:07:09 >> COUNCILMEMBERS, DR. ROBERT MADDALON, RESIDENT 903

MARINER WAY.

I BOUGHT A CONDO IN 1987.

BUILT A HOUSE THERE IN 1992.

AND I ASK TO YOU VOTE AGAINST THIS PROPOSAL.

I SPEAK FOR MYSELF, MY WIFE AND THREE COLLEGE-AGED

CHILDREN ALL REGISTERED VOTERS AT THIS ADDRESS.

SOME OF THIS WILL BE REDUNDANT, BUT IN HOTEL WILL

STICK OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB ONCE YOU CROSS A BRIDGE

FROM HARBOUR ISLAND OVER ON TO HARBOUR ISLAND.

THAT IS OUR MAIN ENTRY POINT FOR HUNDREDS OF HOMES AND

CONDOS.

I WATCH A DEVELOPER ON ZOOM.

THEIR PRESENTATION.

I ATTENDED IT IN PERSON.

THERE ARE STAFFERS.

TRAFFIC STAFFERS SAID THAT -- I SPOKE WITH MR. COHEN IN

PERSON.

HE SAID IT WON'T INCREASE THE TRAFFIC ANYMORE THAN THAT

BANK DID.

WELL, I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

THE BANK WAS RARELY USED.

TO COMPARE THAT TO A 150-ROOM, 24-HOUR HOTEL WITH A

RESTAURANT, BUSINESS MEETINGS, SUPPLIERS, WASTE

DISPOSAL IS INCORRECT, IN MY OPINION.

THERE ARE OCCASIONAL BACK-UPS -- I KNOW THIS IS

REDUNDANT.

OCCASIONAL BACK-UPS NOW INTO THE MAIN ENTRY GATE WHICH

YOU HEARD 20 TIMES SO FAR TODAY.

I FIND IT IRONIC THAT THE ARCHITECTS PICTURE OF THE

CURRENT ENTRY WAY SHOWS A THREE-CAR BACK-UP AT THE MAIN

GATE.

NOW IF YOU ADD HOTEL DELIVERIES, WASTE DISPOSAL, HOTEL

GUESTS USING THE BACK WAY, ALL TRAVELING ON SOUTH

HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD, AND MAKING A LEFT, THAT

CONGESTION IS -- BECOMES MUCH WORSE AND IN ADDITION TO

THE PEOPLE WHO ATTEND HARBOUR ISLAND ATHLETIC CLUB.

WE -- MY FAMILY AND I DO NOT THINK THAT 150-ROOM HOTEL

WILL BENEFIT THE HUNDREDS OF -- OR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE

BEHIND THE GATES ON HARBOUR ISLAND WHO ARE HARMFUL TO

THEM.

THE DEVELOPERS PURCHASED A SMALL LOT AND WANT TO

MAXIMIZE HIS INVESTMENT.

I DON'T BLAME HIM FOR THAT; HOWEVER, THE HUNDREDS OF

HOMEOWNERS AND CONDO OWNERS BEHIND THE GATES ALSO WANT

TO MAINTAIN THEIR CURRENT ENTRY GATEWAY AND VISTA AND

MAINTAIN AND MAXIMIZE THEIR INVESTMENT.

I DON'T THINK THOSE TWO THINGS ARE COMPATIBLE.

ONCE AGAIN, WE ASK TO YOU VOTE DOWN THIS PROPOSAL.

19:09:40 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.

NEXT SPEAKER.

PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.

19:09:45 >> MY NAME IS BETH ROTHBARTH.

344 INNER HARBOR CIRCLE.

PREVIOUS TO MOVING TO TAMPA, I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR SIX

YEARS.

I LIVE ON HARBOUR ISLAND OBVIOUSLY.

AND I USED TO WORK IN REAL ESTATE.

ECONOMIC FORECASTING, FEASIBILITY STUDIES FOR

DEVELOPERS, INVESTORS, AND ALSO THE GOVERNMENT.

I AM NOT GOING TO BE REDUNDANT.

I AM REALLY GOING TO DISCUSS RIDE SHARES.

BECAUSE THINGS HAVE REALLY CHANGED SINCE AMERICAN

SOCIAL OPENED.

AND THE RIDE SHARES LINING UP TO GET PEOPLE IN AND OUT

AND DROPPED OFF.

THE UBERS, THE LYFTS, THE TRAFFIC IS HORRENDOUS

WHENEVER THERE IS ANYTHING MAJOR GOING ON.

THESE DRIVERS DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE.

THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THERE.

THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO PULL OVER.

THIS HOTEL ON THIS TINY LITTLE POSTAGE STAMP OF A

PROPERTY, WHERE ARE THESE UBERS AND LYFTS GOING TO LINE

UP AND WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO GO.

LET'S SAY THEY GET LOST.

I WANT TO TALK ABOUT TWO WEEKENDS AGO OPINION NO HOCKEY

GAME.

MAY HAVE BEEN SOMETHING GOING ON AT THE CONVENTION

CENTER.

BUT THERE WAS NO HOCKEY TRAFFIC.

AND I COULDN'T MAKE A RIGHT-HAND TURN INTO THE WEST

GATE.

I HAD TO TWICE GO ALL THE WAY AROUND AND GO TO THE EAST

GATE BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC WAS SO SUBSTANTIAL.

THERE WAS ALSO AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE -- AND I KNOW

SOMEBODY ELSE MENTIONED THAT -- STUCK ON THE BRIDGE

WITH THEIR LIGHTS ON.

NOWHERE TO GO.

AND EVERYONE IS JUST SITTING STILL.

SO I THINK THERE IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVED HERE.

SO I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION

AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

AND VOTE AGAINST IT.

19:11:36 >> GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL.

RICK MAHARIS AND THE FOUNDER AND OWNER OF AMERICAN BAR

AND KITCHEN IN HARBOUR ISLAND.

I HAVE BEEN A TENANT THERE SINCE 2017.

AND I AM VERY PROUD OF HOW THE COMMUNITY HAS WELCOMED

ME TO JOIN THE HOSPITALITY SECTOR OF DOWNTOWN.

I HAVE PREPARED A FEW WORDS AND I WOULD LIKE TO GO ON

RECORD TO SPEAK THAT TIME IN FAVOR AND HOPE YOU WILL

CONSIDER APPROVING THIS BEAUTIFUL NEW HOTEL.

THIS BUSINESS AND ITS CLIENTELE THAT THIS BEAUTIFUL NEW

HOTEL WILL BRING TO BOTH HARBOUR ISLAND AND DOWNTOWN

TAMPA WILL BE EXCEPTIONAL FOR ALL OF US AS STATED BY

THE GENTLEMAN SANTIAGO AS IT PERTAIN TO THE TOURIST

INDUSTRY, CONVENTION CENTER AND THE RESTAURANTS, NOT

JUST MYSELF AND JACKSON'S THAT SPOKE BUT A HANDFUL OF

OTHER RESTAURANTS ON THE ISLAND THAT WOULD LOVE

ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC BROUGHT TO THE ISLAND.

AS A TENANT OF THAT ISLAND FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS, I

HAVE BEEN VERY ACTIVE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND SPEND A

GREAT AMOUNT OF TIME ON HARBOUR ISLAND.

ASIDE FROM THE HANDFUL OF EVENTS AT THE CONVENTION

CENTER AND THE AMALIE ARENA, VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC IMPACT

THAT HAS BEEN CONTRIBUTED BY MY BUSINESS [BOOING]

-- [GAVEL SOUNDING]

19:12:56 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

DON'T -- DON'T ENTICE, JUST SPEAK TO US.

19:13:03 >> SPEAKING FROM MY PERSPECTIVE.

I AM AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THE

COMMUNITY AND THE LOCAL BUSINESSES THAT SERVICE OUR

COMMUNITY.

I TRULY BELIEVE THAT PROJECT WILL ADD BOTH PROJECTS TO

HARBOUR ISLAND AND SERVICE THIS COMMUNITY AND HARBOUR

ISLAND IN A PROFESSIONAL AND VALUE-ADDING MANNER.

THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY SERVES US ALL.

AND I HOPE YOU WILL STRONGLY ENCOURAGE SUPPORTING THERE

PROJECT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

19:13:33 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

19:13:35 >> COUNCIL, MY NAME IS SCOTT HARRISON.

AND I AM A HARBOUR ISLAND RESIDENT, AND I HAVE BEEN

SWORN IN.

I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT ANOTHER LIST THAT TAMPA HAS

MADE.

TAMPA IS IN THE TOP TEN OF PEDESTRIAN, AUTOMOBILE

FATALITIES IN THE COUNTRY.

AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT FATALITIES PER 100,000 PEOPLE,

WE ARE NUMBER 3.

SO I ALSO -- AS MY MOM WILL SAY I USED THE GOOGLE AND

TRIED TO FIND PEDESTRIAN BIKE CRASHES.

I COULDN'T GET SPECIFIC DATA ON TAMPA, BUT TAMPA ST.

PETE IS NUMBER ONE.

AND SO I WOULD ASK YOU IN THAT CONTEXT AS YOU CONSIDER

THIS PROPOSAL, DO YOU WANT TO BE NUMBER ONE.

AND THE OTHER THING SKILL THAT YOU, DO YOU THINK THAT

ONE STORY BANK BUILDING AND 150-ROOM, 160-PARKING SPACE

HOTEL, IF YOU THINK THOSE ARE EQUAL IN TERMS OF THE

TRAFFIC PATTERN, THEN WE ARE WELL ON OUR WAY OF TAKING

THE TOP SPOT IN THIS NOTORIOUS LIST.

AND I WOULD ADD THAT THAT WILL AFFECT TOURISM.

IT WILL AFFECT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

SO THIS ISN'T JUST A SAFETY ISSUE.

THANK YOU.

19:14:56 >> ANDREI NIANTCOTEN.

1167 -- AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.

I DON'T WANT TO REPEAT MYSELF -- OR REPEAT THE OTHER

NOTIONS AND TOPICS THAT WERE DISCUSSED.

BUT HERE ARE SOME THINGS FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

I DON'T HAVE A SET AGENDA OF ANY KIND, BUT IF YOU WERE

TRYING TO MAKE TAMPA A BETTER PLACE, YOU HAVE AN EMPTY

LOT.

LOOK AT THE CORNER OF FRANKLIN AND CHANNELSIDE.

THAT LOT IS EMPTY.

YOU CAN TAKE THE PAVILION.

JOB OBJECTED TO THE JW MARRIOTT AND THE EPICURION AND

HYATT IN YBOR.

THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE HERE IS A LITMUS TEST THAT

SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT.

IT IS JUST -- THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE HAD SUCH A

RESISTANCE FROM SUCH A LARGE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE.

SOMETHING JUST DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT.

THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT HERE FOR NO REASON, OBVIOUSLY.

SO I HAVE BEEN LIVING HERE LONG ENOUGH TO REMIND YOU

THAT THE GATES WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED RIGHT NOW, THIS

IS NOT REALLY WHAT IS CONSIDERED SOUTH OF THE GATES.

GATES WERE ALMOST AT THE FOUR-WAY STOP SIGN.

IT WASN'T UNTIL 96 OR '97 THAT THESE GATES WERE PUSHED

BACK BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC ISSUES THAT WERE HAPPENING

ALL THE TIME.

AND SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY WAY TO PUSH BACK BEYOND THAT.

WHEN -- BEFORE THESE HIGH-RISES EXISTED OVER THERE WITH

THE LITTLE DAILY PLACE BY THE WATERSIDE, ALL THAT

STUFF IS GONE.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE DON'T HAVE A WAY TO PUSH BACK

ANY LONGER.

AND FOR THOSE OF HOW ARE BELIEVERS OF INDIANA SEND ITED

CONSEQUENCES, I WILL TELL THAT YOU I MAY BE THE

DOOMSDAY GUY.

20 YEARS FROM NOW, IF YOU ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN.

THIS WILL TURN OUT TO BE THE TROJAN HORSE THAT SET THE

INITIAL PRECEDENCE WHEN THE ATHLETIC CLUB WANTS TO

BUILD A 20-STORY HIGH-RISE.

THIS WILL BE USE AS A PRECEDENT TO SAY, WELL, WE

ALLOWED THIS THING.

WE WILL KEEN ALLOWING MORE AND MORE OF THIS TO HAPPEN.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHICH GENERAL OR ROMAN EMPEROR SAID A

WELL ORGANIZED MINORITY WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL ABOVE A --

ABOVE AN UNORGANIZED MAJORITY.

YOU SEE HOW ORGANIZED AND FUNDED THESE PEOPLE ARE.

WE BROUGHT -- WE BROUGHT SOME CRONIES HERE AND GUYS OF

INDEPENDENT OPINIONS.

THEY ARE EXTREMELY ORGANIZED.

I GUESS IF I AM A COUNCILMAN AND HAVING DRINKS WITH MY

FAMILY TONIGHT, I CAN SEE IT AS, HEY, A GROUP OF RICH

PEOPLE AGAINST ANOTHER GROUP OF RICH PEOPLE HERE, BUT

FOR THE LIFE OF ME, LET'S NOT ALLOW A WELL ORGANIZED

MINORITY TO PREVAIL HERE.

THANK YOU.

19:17:42 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

19:17:45 >> GOOD EVENING.

I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN COME UP ON THE SCREEN OR NOT.

I AM MIKE GRATZ.

I LIVE WITH ON HARBOR BAY DRIVE.

A RESIDENT OF HARBOUR ISLAND.

THE CURRENT PRESIDENT OF HARBOUR ISLAND COMMUNITY

SERVICES O, REFERRED WHO AS HICSA.

I'M HERE TO SET THE RECORD FREIGHT WHAT IS THE CALL OF

MIXED USE HARBOUR ISLAND.

WHEN YOU TAKE THE HARBOUR ISLAND FROM KNIGHT'S RUN TO

KNIGHT'S RUN, FROM HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD TO

BENEFICIAL, WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO FIND OUT IS THAT

THERE ARE 1900 HOMEOWNERS, BOTH IN THE NORTH AND SOUTH

NEIGHBORHOOD AND 1100 OF THE -- OF THE APARTMENT

COMMUNITY DWELLING MEMBERS.

SO BASICALLY 3,000 RESIDENCES ARE THERE.

WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT N TOTAL OF THE SQUARE FOOTAGE

WHAT IS CONSIDERED COMMERCIAL WHICH IS THE 2 HARBOR

PLACE AND THE CURRENT LIBERTY BUILDING, YOU ARE LOOKING

AT LESS THAN 5% OF THE TOTAL PROPERTY IN WHAT WE WOULD

CALL THE RESIDENTIAL CORE OF HARBOUR ISLAND BETWEEN

KNIGHT'S RUN AND THE BENEFICIAL AND HARBOUR ISLAND

BOULEVARD ON KNIGHT'S RUN, THAT IS THE CORE OF THE

RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD OF HARBOUR ISLAND AND 95%

RESIDENTIAL, LESS THAN 5% COMMERCIAL.

SO WHAT YOU ARE ASKING IS TO PUT A LARGE PIECE OF

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY IN THE MIDDLE OF A MOSTLY

RESIDENTIAL DRILLING AND IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY

SENSE.

WHEN YOU TALK OF THE OTHER PROPERTIES, THEY ARE NORTH

WHERE THE WESTIN IS AND THE OTHER HOTELS.

THEY ARE NOT IN THE CORE PART OF THE RESIDENTIAL

COMMUNITY OF HARBOUR ISLAND.

AND I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT.

THIS WERE GOING ON THE NORTH END WHERE JACKSON IS.

IF THEY WANT JACKSON TO RAISE IT, THAT IS NOT A

PROBLEM.

BUT THIS IS IN THE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY IMPACTING THE

RESIDENTS.

AND HOPE YOU TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.

THE OTHER THING ON THE MARRIOTT WEB SITE WHICH I AM A

HOTEL DEVELOPER AND OWNER AND I OWN CURRENTLY TWO

MARRIOTTS.

THAT IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT WHERE THIS HOTEL IS CALLED

BOUTIQUE REALLY RESIDES, IT RESIDES IN A SELECT AREA.

IT IS NOT A LUXURY HOTEL.

NOT A MEDIUM HOTEL.

IT IS WITH THE FAIRFIELD AND WITH THE COURTYARD.

AND, AGAIN, IT IS NOT GOING TO HAVE THE AMENITIES OF A

BOUTIQUE HOTEL.

IT WILL BRING BUSINESS TRANSIENT TRAFFIC INTO A

RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY AND I SHOWED YOU THE LEVEL OF THE

RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY IT IS.

I APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR TIME AND HEARING YOU TONIGHT AND

HOPE YOU WILL VOTE AGAINST THIS PROPOSED HOTEL ON

HARBOUR ISLAND.

THANK YOU.

19:20:50 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

19:20:51 >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS NATHAN HAGAN.

I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.

FIRST -- MY FIRST THING IS THE QUESTION -- I AM

IGNORANT.

IF THERE IS NO WAIVERS, WHY THIS A PD?

I AM IGNORE RANT.

IS THERE AN ANSWER?

WELL I WILL CONTINUE, BUT I AM INTERESTED TO KNOW THAT,

BECAUSE THIS IS A PROCESS THING.

I'M HERE NOT BECAUSE I CARE PARTICULARLY ABOUT A HOTEL.

THAT DIDN'T HOUSING AND I AM FOCUSED ON HOUSING.

I AM SEEING A CONSISTENT PATTERN OF OPPOSITION --

OPPOSITION TO OUR -- OF HOW WE PLANNED OUR CITY.

PEOPLE SAYING I DON'T LIKE HOW WE PLANNED OUR CITY.

MY NEIGHBORHOOD DOESN'T PARTICULARLY LIKE HOW WE

PLANNED OUR CITY.

BUT OUR CITY CHOSE THIS.

OUR CITY COUNCIL VOTED FOR THIS COMP PLAN.

YOU KNOW, SIX YEARS AGO IN 2016.

THAT SHOULD COUNT FOR SOMETHING, BECAUSE AS --

GENERALLY, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE ARE VOTING AGAINST PDS

THAT DON'T REQUIRE ANY WAIVERS, THAT MATCH THE COMP

PLAN, WE ARE VOTING AGAINST OUR COMP PLAN, IN MY

OPINION.

A CITY COUNCIL THAT IS HOSTILE TO ITS OWN CITY'S COMP

PLAN, TO ME, IS A CITY COUNCIL THAT IS HOSTILE TO

HOUSING.

THAT ES WHO TOIL OVER OTHER -- HOST TILL TO OTHER

OBJECTIVE OF THE COMP PLAN.

EVERYTHING THAT THE NEIGHBORS ARE SAYING ARE LEGITIMATE

AND SHOULD BE VALIDATED, BUT THE STILL DECIDED ALREADY

THAT HARBOUR ISLAND HAS A PUMP.

AND WE CAN CHANGE THAT IN THE COMP PLAN THIS YEAR.

IF WE WANT TO DOWN ZONE ALL OF HARBOUR ISLAND, ONE OF

THE MOST CENTRAL URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS, WE CAN HAVE THAT

CONVERSATION AND 2016, CITY COUNCIL VOTED FOR A COMP

PLAN OF HARBOUR ISLAND WAS A MIXED USE, HIGH INTENSITY

DEVELOPMENT IN OUR URBAN CORE AND CITY COUNCIL IS

WILLING TO TAKE -- WALK THAT BACK ARBITRARILY EVERY

THURSDAY, PARCEL BY PARCEL, WE SHOULD NOT HAVE A FUNK

ISAL CITY GOVERNMENT.

I HOPE WE WILL NOT DO THAT AND NOT THIS CASE BUT ALL

CASES.

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING THANK YOU.

19:22:57 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I CAN CITY COUNCIL

ATTORNEY.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THIS IS A PD OR HOW

TO RELATES TO THE COMP PLAN AND WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT

PATTERN IS SUPPOSED TO BE, AND WHAT YOUR CRITERIA IS,

MY SUGGESTION IS THAT YOU HAVE STAFF AVAILABLE TO ASK

THOSE QUESTIONS.

19:23:18 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

19:23:22 >> HI, JIMMY CLARK, 6516 BISCAYNE.

I WAS FAMOUS EARLIER AT THIS.

I NEVER HAVE BEEN TO A CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

PROBABLY WILL NEVER COME TO ANOTHER ONE.

SO I APOLOGIZE.

I MET PEOPLE VERY ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY, BUT

GENERALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF THIS STUFF.

YOU GUYS DO A GREAT JOB.

PART OF THE REASON I'M HERE IS ACTUALLY -- YOU KNOW, I

THINK PART -- THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO LOOK AT IT.

I SEE EVERYBODY TALKING OF THE HYATT AND THE ISSUE, BUT

THE PICTURE I SEE IS A DISCREPE BID OLD BUILDING AND

OVERTIME, THAT GO GET WORSE.

AT SOME TIME THAT WILL NEED TO BE DEVELOPED -- IN MY

BUSINESS, I AM AN -- IN THE INSURANCE BUSINESS, $20

BILLION OF INSURANCE.

I AM CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF THE TOP IN THE COUNTRY.

I WORK WITH A LOT OF THE DEVELOPERS NATIONWIDE.

WHAT WE HAVE AND I THINK WE SHOULD LOOK AT -- I THINK

PEOPLE WILL DISAGREE IS SOMEBODY WHO IS LOCAL AND

INVESTED IN THE COMMUNITY.

YOU GUYS MAY NOT REMEMBER THE RECEPTION, BUT IN 2014, A

MARRIOTT HOTEL AND A LOFT OPENED.

A DEVELOPER TOOK $20 MILLION OF HIS OWN MONEY.

NOBODY THOUGHT THAT A HOTEL COULD EVEN BE SUPPORTED IN

DOWNTOWN TAMPA IN THE MIDDLE OF A RECESSION.

TOOK A DECREPID OLD BUILDING.

GOING TO BE DEMOLISHED, ELEVATORS DIDN'T WORK.

A TAMPA BAY ARTICLE ABOUT IT AND OPENED IT AND IT WAS

SUCCESSFUL.

FROM THAT POINT FORWARD, TAMPA TOOK OFF.

ANOTHER HOTEL IN CHANNELSIDE THAT PERFECTLY FIT THE

AREA.

YOU ARE TALKING OF A GROUP THAT LIVES ON HARBOUR

ISLAND.

FAMILY LIVES ON HARBOUR ISLAND.

WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH WHATEVER TRAFFIC ISSUES WE ARE

TALKING ABOUT AND IS PERSONALLY INVESTED, PERSONALLY

INVESTED IN WHAT HE IS PUTTING IN THE GROUNDS BECAUSE

HE HAS TO LOOK AT IT AND TALK TO HIS KIDS ABOUT IT AND

SAYS IT MINE VERSUS THE RELATED GROUP OR WHOEVER ELSE

COMES IN.

THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TRY TO LOWER THE BUILDING TO

APIECE THE HOME BUILDERS -- THE HOME -- APPEASE THE

HOMEOWNERS.

THEY WILL TRY TO GET THE MAXIMUM VALUE OF LAND VERSUS

BUILDING SOMETHING THAT REALLY HELPS TAMPA.

AND THIS IS WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT TODAY.

SOMETHING THINK THAT KNOW THAT THE LIBERTY GROUP IS

PROUD OF.

SOMETHING THINK THAT SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON HARBOUR

ISLAND.

SOMETHING I WOULD BE PROUD OF.

AND I HAVE CLIENTS IN INSURANCE, UNDERWRITERS FROM ALL

AROUND THE WORLD FLY IN TO SEE ME AND ALL THEY COMPLAIN

ABOUT IS THEY CAN'T FIND HOTELS AND THEY DON'T FIND --

THERE ARE BASICALLY TWO OR THREE GOOD NEW HOTELS.

I THINK WE HAVE GOT A FOURTH DOWNTOWN.

AND THEY STAY ON WESTSHORE.

SO -- [GAVEL SOUNDING]

19:26:07 >> THANK YOU, GUYS, FOR YOUR TIME.

19:26:08 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
EXCUSE ME.

EXCUSE ME.

PLEASE.

I UNDERSTAND, BUT PLEASE.

LET'S CONTROL OURSELVES.

THANK YOU, SIR.

THE NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.

19:26:22 >> HELLO.

CHARLIE TOBIN.

I DON'T THINK I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.

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

SWORN IN.

[SWEARING IN]

19:26:41 >> I DO.

IS THAT SWEARING IN.

OKAY, COOL, AWESOME.

1114 ABBEYS WAY.

AND I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT I BELIEVE I HAVE AN OUTLOOK

ON THIS ISSUE THAT NO ONE ELSE DOES.

I HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO GO TO FLORIDA STATE FOR THE

PAST FOUR YEARS AND EVERY TIME -- AND I JUST RECENTLY

GRADUATED.

EVERY TIME I COME BACK FOR HOLIDAYS, THREE, SIX MONTHS,

I AM LIKE WOW.

A GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING.

DOWNTOWN TAMPA GETS BIGGER AND TRAFFIC GETS WORSE.

TAKES ON AVERAGE -- USED TO TAKE WHEN I WAS IN HIGH

SCHOOL ABOUT SIX MINUTES TO GET FROM DOWNTOWN TAMPA ON

THE HIGHWAY TO MY HOUSE.

TAKES ABOUT 15 NOW.

ESPECIALLY WITH A LIGHTNING GAME, MAKE ABOUT AN HOUR.

AND EVERY TIME, I AM LIKE, WOW, DOWNTOWN TAMPA IS GETTING

MORR HECTIC.

WHAT WILL THIS HOTEL BRING.

I DIDN'T REALLY CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

CAME TO SUPPORT MY COMMUNITY, BUT AFTER HEARING

EVERYONE SPEAK OF HOW PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS HOTEL NOT

BEING BUILT, I HAVE TO AGREE.

MORE LIKE -- WHAT IS THE SAYING, IF YOU TAKE AN INCH,

YOU GET A MILE.

IT SEEMS THAT IF THIS HOTEL WILL JUST BE THE BEGINNING.

AND THAT IT WILL BECOME A LOT MORE COMMERCIAL ON THAT

SIDE OF TAMPA.

AND ON THAT SIDE OF HARBOUR ISLAND WHICH WILL NOT BE

GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY.

IT WILL NOT BE GOOD WHERE I GREW UP IN MY 23 YEARS OF

LIFE, THE WHOLE TIME ON HARBOUR ISLAND AND I DON'T

THINK ANYONE IN THIS COMMUNITY WANTS THIS HOTEL.

THANK YOU.

19:28:09 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE --

19:28:14 >> I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION --

19:28:16 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
YOU HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN, MA'AM.

YOU HAD YOUR TIME.

I APOLOGIZE, BUT YOU HAD YOUR TIME.

ANYONE ELSE IN THIS COUNCIL CHAMBERS THAT WANTS TO

SPEAK THAT HAVEN'T ALREADY SPOKEN?

ANYBODY ELSE ON THE SECOND FLOOR OR DOWN AT THE VISCOTI

ROOM.

19:28:41 >> YES.

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

UNTIL YOU ARE CALLED ON.

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ONLINE NOW.

THE FIRST PERSON I HAVE IS MR. ED WILLIAMS.

MR. WILLIAMS, ARE YOU THERE?

I DON'T SEE MR. WILLIAMS THERE.

THEN LET'S GO TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE NOW.

MR. PETER BRUNDI.

ARE YOU THERE?

YES, I AM SEEING THEM RIGHT NOW AND I ASKED MR. PETER

BRUNDI.

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.

SWEAR HIM IN.

EVERYBODY THAT I SEE ON THE SCREEN,

PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND TO BE SWORN IN.

[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.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

COUNCILMEMBER, MY NAME IS PETER BRUNDI.

I AM AN ATTORNEY.

I MOVED WITH MY WIFE AND OUR NEWBORN SON TO HARBOUR

ISLAND 33 YEARS AGO.

WE HAVE ENJOYED A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS GROWN AND

DEVELOPED AND THAT NOW HOUSES SOME OF THE BEST PEOPLE

AND MINDS, CIVIC LEADERS, ETC. IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.

ALL OF WHOM ARE AGAINST THIS HOTEL BEING DEVELOPED.

NOT ONE RESIDENT THAT I CAN RECALL TONIGHT ON HARBOUR

ISLAND HAS SPOKEN THAT IT IS A POSITIVE MOVE.

THERE IS SO MUCH TO SAY.

AND I KNOW I HAVE LIMITED TIME, SO I WILL JUST GO TO

ONE POINT.

THE POINT THAT -- THE WHITE ELEPHANT IN THIS WHOLE

THING IS THE FACT THAT HOTELS MAKE MOST OF THEIR MONEY

ON ALCOHOL.

NONE OF THE HIGH-RISES -- NONE OF THE HIGH-RISES ON

HARBOUR ISLAND SELL ALCOHOL.

THEY ARE EITHER CONDOS OR RENTAL BUILDINGS.

WE HAVE A COUPLE OF RESTAURANTS TO DO.

AND THAT'S NORMAL.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A HIGH-RISE THAT TRIES TO MAXIMIZE

THEIR PROFITS ON ALCOHOL AS ALL HOTELS DO.

IF YOU ASK ANY OF THESE HOTEL SPEAKERS AND IF THERE ARE

HONEST ABOUT IT, THEY WILL ADMIT IT.

THEY MAKE THE MOST PROFIT ON ALCOHOL.

THEY EVEN SHOWED THAT -- THAT LEVEL OF SEVERAL STORIES

UP WHERE THEY WILL HAVE AN OUTDOOR CAFE THAT WILL SERVE

ALCOHOL.

SO YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A HOTEL WHERE WILD PEOPLE,

SOME OF THEM, ARE WILD.

COMING IN TO SEE LIGHTNING GAMES OR HOCKEY -- OR OTHER

FACILITY -- OTHER EVENTS.

THEY ARE GOING TO INVITE FRIENDS OVER.

THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE BARS OPEN IN THE HOTEL AND

EVERYBODY WILL BE DRINKING.

AND SOME OF THEM WILL FEEL IT IS TOO FAR FROM THERE TO

WALK TO DOWNTOWN TO SOME OF THESE EVENTS, SO THEY ARE

GOING TO DRIVE.

AND WE WILL HAVE DRUNK DRIVERS ON A RESIDENTIAL AREA OF

HARBOUR ISLAND WHERE WE HAVE CHILDREN WAITING FOR

BUSES.

WHERE WE HAVE MOTHERS TAKING THEIR CHILDREN ACROSS

AREAS TO GET TO SCHOOL.

WHERE LATER IN THE DAY, WE HAVE PEOPLE WALKING DOGS.

AND THEY WILL EVEN ALLOW DOGS AND THEY WON'T CONFORM TO

PICKING UP THEIR POOP LIKE ALL HOTEL RESIDENTS DO.

IT IS GOING TO BE A DISASTER.

BUT THE WORST PART OF THIS IS THE ALCOHOL.

YOU ARE GOING TO ENLIST AND ENABLE A 12-STORY FACILITY

TO SELL ALCOHOL TO PEOPLE WHO ARE DRIVING IN OUR

NEIGHBORHOOD AND ENDANGERING OUR CITIZENS.

THIS CANNOT STAND.

I WORK WITH MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVERS AND THIS

CANNOT STAND.

19:33:24 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU, SIR, THANK YOU VERY

MUCH.

MR. CARDONA.

19:33:29 >> HI, EVERYONE.

MY NAME IS JIRO CARDONA.

TAMPA RESIDENT FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

POST HARBOUR ISLAND RESIDENT FOR THE LAST SEVEN.

A COMMERCIAL BANKER IN TAMPA BAY FOR 14 YEARS AND MOST

RECENTLY STARTED MY OWN COMPANY RIGHT THERE ON HARBOUR

ISLAND.

IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, I HAVE PARTICIPATED IN OVER

HALF A BILLION IN LENDING IN OUR COMMUNITY, WHETHER IT

IS MULTIFAMILY, PHARMACIST NEXT DOOR, SOMEBODY OPENING

A START-UP CALF PAY.

I AM VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF THIS PROJECT.

YOU KNOW, WE HEARD A LOT ABOUT TRAFFIC AND NOISE AND

SAFETY.

AS IF THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO BE BUILT IN THE MIDDLE

OF A SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD OR THE PROJECT DOES NOT FIT.

BUT THE REALITY IS THAT HARBOUR ISLAND IS IN DOWNTOWN

TAMPA, BACK FROM OUR CUP CHAMPIONS TAMPA LIGHTNING.

I AM A SEASON TICKET HOLDER.

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT THAT I NEEDED TO BE HERE TODAY.

RESIDE BEHIND THEIR GATED COMMUNITY THEY ARE NOT IMMUNE

TO URBAN LIVING EVERYBODY ELSE WHO LIVES IN DOWNTOWN

TAMPA EXPERIENCES.

THEY HAVE THE PREROGATIVE TO MANAGE ALL THE ISSUES THAT

AFFECT THEM BEHIND THEIR GATES, BUT THE MERE PRESENCE

DOES NOT EXTEND THE PEROGATIVE OF THE REST OF DOWNTOWN

TAMPA.

THE TOURISM WHICH IS THE MAIN ECONOMIC DRIVER FOR THE

CITY AS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THOSE IN THE GATES OF

HARBOUR ISLAND.

MISGUIDED TO SAY THIS HOTEL WHO PUT DOWN OVERALL HOTEL

ROOMS AND REDUCED THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES THAT

LEAD TO TRAFFIC JAMS ENTERING AND EXIT THEIR OWN GATED

COMMUNITIES.

GATES CREATE A PERMANENT DEMARCATION BETWEEN THE

RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES.

IF YOU LOOK AT.MAP, HUNDREDS OF FIGHTS AWAY FROM THE

SITE OF THE HOTEL.

HARBOR ISLAND WILL BENEFIT WITH THE AMENITIES

ASSOCIATED WITH THE HOTEL.

AC MARRIOTT WILL PROVIDE OUR COMMUNITY WITH A GATHERING

PLACE IN LINE WITH THE CHARACTERISTICS OF HARBOUR

ISLAND.

I LOOK FORWARD TO GOING TO THE RESTAURANT AND THE BAR

IN THE HOTEL AND I WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO USE THE

IMMEDIATE MEETING SPACE.

I DO IT ALL THE TIME FOR MY BUSINESS.

THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM HAS TAKEN TIME LISTEN TO THE

CONCERNS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND MAKE SIGNIFICANT

CHANGES TO THE PROJECT THAT WAS REQUESTED BY MEMBERS OF

THE COMMUNITY MY SIEVE INCLUDED.

I APPRECIATE THEIR EFFORTS.

AND THIS PROJECT WILL ADD TO THE CHARM OF HARBOUR

ISLAND AND I ASK EVERYONE TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.

I THINK IT IS VERY GOOD.

I AM IN FAVOR OF IT.

I USED TO GO TO THAT SUNTRUST A LONG TIME AGO.

I REMEMBER A LONG TIME BUILDINGS WEREN'T THERE AND A

LOT OF PEOPLE OPPOSED AND LOOK HOW MUCH HAS COME FROM

THAT.

TIME IN FAVOR.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND GO LIGHTNING.

19:36:29 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU, SIR.

MR. SPONSLER.

19:36:37 >> I'M JIM SPONSLER.

I LIVE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA.

FORTUNATE TO BE REPRESENTED BY MANY OF OUR HOTEL BRANDS

THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.

AND I DO APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE SOME

PERSPECTIVE OF THIS PARTICULAR IMPORTANT HOTEL BRAND

FOR THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION.

SO UNLIKE OUR LARGE FULL-SERVICE OR CONVENTION FOCUSED

HOTELS, THE AC HOTEL BRAND IS AN UPSCALE LIFETIME HOTEL

WITH AN UNIQUE CUSTOM DESIGN FOR EACH LOCATION.

AC HOTEL THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY OR THROUGHOUT THE

WORLD, EACH ONE IS DIFFERENT.

THAT IS WHAT MAKES IT A LIFESTYLE BOUTIQUE HOTEL VERSUS

A BRAND.

AND AS AN EXPERT ON THE BRAND, ONE OF THE CORE BRAND

PRINCIPLES IS, IN FACT, ACTIVATED IN THE PUBLIC SPACE

INTEGRATE WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.

NOW THAT, AGAIN, MEANS DIFFERENT THINGS IN DIFFERENT

TYPES OF COMMUNITIES.

I ALSO JUST WANT TO TAKE A MINUTE TO CONFIRM THAT

LOCALLY BASED DEVELOPER FOR THIS PROJECT IS WORKING

WITH MARRIOTT TO DESIGN A CUSTOM HOTEL THAT WILL FIT

INTO THE FABRIC OF THE HARBOUR ISLAND COMMUNITY WITH

BOTH DESIGN AND SCALE OF THE PROPERTY.

NOW MY EXPERIENCE, WHEN A DEVELOPER BUILDS SOMETHING

IN THEIR OWN BACK YARD, THEY ARE SINCERELY COMMITTED TO

THIS PRIORITY.

NOW WHILE THERE MAY BE SOME COMPRESSION OF GUEST DEMAND

FOR LARGE CITY EVENTS, THIS HOTEL IS DESIGNED TO

ATTRACT UPSCALE CUSTOMERS WHO ARE SEEKING A LIFESTYLE

HOTEL EXPERIENCE.

THE PUBLIC SPACE IS ALSO DESIGNED TO BE A GATHERING

PLACE.

IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE FOR THE HARBOUR ISLAND

COMMUNITY AND FRIEND THAT TRAVEL TO TAMPA.

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

I MAY, MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY.

ANOTHER REMINDER AS YOU GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS THAT

THE DECISION IS NOT BASED ON THE BRANDS OR ANYTHING

SURROUNDING THE MARKETING OF IT OR WHOEVER -- IT IS

DESCRIBED.

BUT THE CRITERIA THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IN THE STAFF

REPORT THAT YOU APPLY THE FACTS AS YOU BELIEVE THEM TO

BE IS WHAT YOU MUST BASE YOUR DECISION ON,

COMPREHENSIVE TENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT IS IN THE

RECORD.

THANK YOU.

19:39:05 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MR. WILLIAMS.

MR. ED WILLIAMS, ARE YOU THERE?

AND IF YOU ARE, YOU NEED TO TURN ON YOUR CAMERA.

MR. WILLIAMS?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. WILLIAMS.

ANDY GOLD.

MR. GOLD.

ARE YOU ON A CELL PHONE OR ARE YOU ON YOUR COMPUTER?

MR. GOLD?

THANK YOU, MR. GOLD.

DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS ON THESE AGENDA ITEMS

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

FLOOR OR IN THE VISCOTI ROOM?

THANK YOU.

MISS WELLS.

19:40:13 >>CATE WELLS:
THANK YOU, CATE WELLS FOR THE RECORD.

I JUST WANT TO SAY ONE THING BEFORE THE APPLICANT IS

ALLOWED REBUTTAL IN THE EVENT THEY WANT TO RESPOND TO

THIS, IN THE PRESENTATION IT WAS OFFERED UP THAT

PARKING AT THIS LOCATION WOULD NOT BE OPEN TO THE

PUBLIC AND THAT THEY WERE WILLING TO INCLUDE THAT AS A

NOTE ON THE SITE PLAN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.

COUNCIL HAS PREVIOUSLY HEARD THE CITY SAY THAT

CONDITIONS RELATED TO THE OPERATION OF THE BUSINESS

ESTABLISHMENT ARE NOT APPROPRIATE CONDITIONS OF ZONING

APPROVAL.

BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE BY THE CITY.

SO WHILE RESPONSIVE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S CONCERNS,

THAT IS NOT A NOTE ON THE SITE PLAN THAT THE CITY WOULD

SUPPORT.

AS WE WOULD NOT -- THE CITY WOULD NOT BE IN A POSITION

TO ENFORCE IT.

THANK YOU.

19:40:57 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

MISS MALONE, ARE YOU THERE?

YOU STATED YOU ARE ALWAYS THERE.

CAN YOU COME BACK ON?

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.

LITTLE ADDRESS THE FIRST -- THE -- I BELIEVE THE FIRST

QUESTION WAS IF THERE IS A POLICY IN THE PLAN THAT

ADDRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT CONSTRUCTION AND AND IMPACTS

TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD DURING CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.

DID I GET THAT CORRECT?

19:41:34 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
YES.

19:41:35 >>JENNIFER MALONE:
YES, OKAY.

THE CLOSEST THING I FOUND IN THE COMMERCIAL SECTION OF

THE PLAN WAS A POLICY RELATED TO WHAT CAN BE ACHIEVED

DURING DEVELOPMENT REVIEW TO MINIMIZE RESIDENTIAL

IMPACTS WITH -- RE-ORIENTING CURB CUTS AND SUCH, SO I

DO NOT THINK IT WOULD APPLY.

I DID READ THROUGH MOST OF THE PLAN IN THAT HOWEVER

LONG IT WAS, AND I DID NOT FIND A POLICY THAT I FEET

WAS APPLICABLE TO YOUR QUESTION.

19:42:07 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
DID THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION,

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.

ABOUT THE PLANNING OF HARBOUR ISLAND AND IF -- IF THIS

WAS -- YOU WERE WONDERING IF IT WAS A PLAN THAT SOUTH

OF THIS STREET WILL BE RESIDENTIAL.

BEFORE I LEFT THE OFFICE TODAY, I ACTUALLY DID CHECK

THE LIBRARY.

AND I TALKED TO OUR LIBRARIAN.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION NEVER DID ANY SORT OF COMMUNITY

PLAN FOR HARBOUR ISLAND, BUT I KNOW A LOT OF THAT

PLANS WAS DONE THROUGH THE DRI AND THE PDS.

I WILL DEFER TO ANNIE BARNES TO ANSWER HOW THOSE

HISTORIC PDS, WHAT IS ON THEM.

AND I THINK THAT IS A LITTLE BIT MORE IN HER WHEEL

HOUSE.

BUT THERE WERE NO COMMUNITY PLAN DONE THAT I COULD FIND

BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS.

I WILL TURN IT OVER TO ANNIE.

19:43:07 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU, MISS MALONE.

MISS BARNES.

19:43:11 >>ANNIE BARNES:
ANNIE BARNES, DEVELOPMENT

COORDINATION.

JUST LOOKING AT THE PDS IN THE AREA SURROUNDING THE

SITE, IT IS BASED UPON THE DENSITY, INTENSITY IS BASED

UPON THE ALLOWABLE USES.

SO IF ALLOWABLE USES OF HIGHER INTENSITY AND COMMERCIAL

USES IN THE SURROUNDING PDS, THAT IS WHY IT WAS

DEVELOPED THAT WAY.

19:43:37 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MR. CREMER.

MR. CREMER, YOU HAVE STATED EARLIER THAT YOU MAY WANT

TO CROSS-EXAMINE ANY SPEAKERS.

DO YOU WISH TO DO SO AT THIS TIME?

19:43:56 >> NO, SIR, I DON'T, BUT I HAVE AN OBJECTION FOR THE

RECORD RELATED TO THAT.

MISS MANDELL SENT A LETTER TO COUNCIL AND CITY

ATTORNEY'S OFFICE YESTERDAY THAT HAD TWO EXPERT REPORTS

WITHIN THE LETTER.

AND MY CONCERN THAT EXPERTS DON'T APPEAR HERE TO BE

CROSS-EXAMINED AND I OBJECT TO THEM BEING CONSIDERED

COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

19:44:20 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

MISS MANDELL.

19:44:25 >> FOR THE RECORD, JULIA MANDELL.

I UNDERSTAND THE OBJECTION.

THEY COULD NOT BE IN ATTENDANCE.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, I DON'T SEE ANYTHING IN THOSE

REPORTS THAT ISN'T ALSO PART OF THE RECORD THAT I PUT

FORWARD AS PART OF MY REPORT THAT I PUT FORWARD.

SO IF CITY COUNCIL DOESN'T WANT TO CONSIDER THOSE, THEY

CAN CONSIDER THE PICTURES THINK THAT PUT DOWN AS

COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE, THE POLICIES THAT THEY

ARE REVIEWING IS PART OF THE COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL

EVIDENCE AND THE TESTIMONY THAT THEY HEARD TODAY IS

PART OF THE COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

THANK YOU.

19:45:00 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.

[INAUDIBLE]

19:45:05 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
FOR THE RECORD I HAVEN'T SEEN IT

EITHER.

19:45:07 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
WE HAVE ONE SO FAR OF THE

COUNCILMEMBERS WHO ARE HERE.

I DIDN'T SEE IT EITHER.

MR. CREMER.

19:45:22 >> YES, SIR.

19:45:24 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
WOULD YOU LIKE TO PROCEED OR ARE YOU

GOING TO DO ANY CROSSEXAMINEING.

19:45:28 >> WELL, I CAN'T.

I WILL NOTE THAT THE PRIMARY CASE ON QUASI JUDICIAL

JENNINGS VERSUS DADE COUNTY SAYS THAT PARTIES MUST BE

ABLE TO CROSS-EXAMINE WITNESSES AND THOSE TWO WITNESSES

ARE NOT THERE.

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

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

THE PRESENTATION.

AGAIN, JAKE CREMER FOR RECORD.

I WILL BE BRINGING SOME OF OUR EXPERTS UP TO ADDRESS

SOME OF THE COMMENTS YOU HEARD.

THANK YOU.

19:46:39 >> I AM RANDY HASEN, PRESIDENT OF MCKIBBON HOSPITALITY.

WE WILL BE WITH THE DAY-TO-DAY STAFF, HIRING AND

TRAINING AND I AM TAMPA RESIDENT SINCE 1994 AND WE

OPERATE NINE HOTELS AROUND THE COUNTRY FOR AC HOTELS.

I KNOW THIS BRAND VERY WELL.

FOUR HOTELS IN DOWNTOWN TAMPA AND 13 HOTELS IN TAMPA.

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

CONTROL WHEN OUR VENDORS ARE DELIVERING TO THE HOTEL.

WE WANT TO DO IT DURING OFF-PEAK HOURS TO NOT DISRUPT

GUESTS SLEEPING, WHICH WOULD BE IN LINE WITH THE

RESIDENTS AS WELL AS.

WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY DON'T DISRUPT OPERATING

HOURS DURING BREAKFAST AND DINNER, THINGS OF THAT

NATURE.

SO THE BENEFIT OF THAT IT IS DURING OFF-PEAK HOURS OF

TRAFFIC AS WELL.

AND AS FAR AS THE TRASH COMPACTOR GOES, THAT IS A ONCE

A WEEK PICKUP.

ON CYCLE WITH THE CITY'S SCHEDULE AT, BUT IT WILL BE ON

CYCLE WITH EAR COMPACTOR PICKUPS ON THE ISLAND.

NOT IN ADDITION TO, IT IS JUST ANOTHER STOP.

19:48:03 >> GOOD EVENING, AGAIN, RANDY COHEN.

AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN.

I PLACED A TABLE ON THE ELMO.

I WANT TO EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE REFERENCES TO

THE BANK AND ITS COMPARISON TO THE HOTEL.

A NUMBER OF FOLKS --

19:48:16 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MR. COHEN, I AM SORRY.

IT IS NOT APPEARING.

IT IS ON THE ELMO?

19:48:20 >> YES.

WE WILL GET TO IT SO I HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS

BEFORE.

19:48:24 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THERE IT IS NOW.

THERE IT IS.

19:48:28 >> A LOT OF FOLKS TALKED OF THE SUNTRUST BANK THAT WAS

ON THE PROPERTY AT ONE POINT IN TIME.

THEY ARE CORRECT.

IT DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF TRAFFIC.

A VERY LIMITED SERVICE BANK; HOWEVER, THE CURRENT

ZONING ON THE PROPERTY PROVIDES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF

A FULL-SERVICE BANK.

SO MY COMPARISONS HAVE BEEN TO A FULL-SERVICE BANK, NOT

TO THE SUNTRUST BANK THAT EXISTED SOME TIME AGO.

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE TABLE ON THE ELMO, IN THE

MORNING A LITTLE BIT MORE TRAFFIC FROM THE HOTEL.

IN THE AFTERNOON, A LITTLE LESS TRAFFIC FROM THE HOTEL

THAN THERE WOULD BE FROM THE BANK.

A FULL-SERVICE BANK WHICH IS FULLY APPROVED AND CAN BE

CONSTRUCTED TODAY ON THE PROPERTY.

SO THAT IS THE COMPARISON I WAS REFERRING TO.

THANK YOU.

19:49:10 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

19:49:15 >> GOOD EVENING, CYNTHIA SPIDEL.

STEARNS WEAVER.

I HAVE BEEN SWORN.

I AM AN AICP CERTIFIED PLAN WITH 17 YEARS OF PLANNING

EXPERIENCE INCLUDING MANY TAMPA PROJECTS.

AND I WAS ALSO THE DRI COORDINATOR IN PASCO COUNTY.

FORTUNATELY I HAVE WORKED ON MANY, MANY DRIS OVER MY

CAREER.

SO IN ORDER TO FORM MY PLANNING OPINION FOR

COMPATIBILITY OF THE USE OF THE SURROUNDING AREA AND

CONSISTENCY WITH THE REGULATORY REQUIREMENT.

I LOOKED AT THE APPROVALS AND REZONING PRECEDENTS

ESTABLISHED BY THE CITY COUNCIL FOR HARBOUR ISLAND.

THIS IS SUMMARIZED IN THE PLANNING REPORT AND I WILL

COVER THEM BRIEFLY.

FIRSTLY A DRI WITH UNBUILT DRI ENTITLEMENTS AVAILABLE.

FORMER DRI COORDINATOR.

THE FIRST THING I LOOKED AT WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY

APPROVED AND WHAT WAS BUILT.

IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED AND WHAT

HAS BEEN SPENT, SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF REMAINING

ENTITLEMENT THAT CAN BE DRAWN FROM.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, THE CURRENT BUILD-OUT SCENARIO

THAT WAS ASSUMED, PLANNED FOR AND MOST IMPORTANTLY

MITIGATED FOR.

DRY CLEARLY ALLOWS NONRESIDENTIAL USES IN THIS

LOCATION.

AND OBVIOUSLY THE -- JUST TO REITERATE THAT AND I WANT

TO EMPHASIZE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF THE IMPROVEMENT FOR

THIS DRI IS MUCH GREATER THAN ACTUALLY WHAT IS ON THE

GROUND.

SO WHEN THE ORIGINAL ARCHITECTS LOOKED AT THIS DRI,

THEY HAD THE FORESIGHT TO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS -- YOU

KNOW, THIS IS 178-ACRE PROJECT.

A LONG EXTENSIVE BUILD-OUT AND EVOLVE OVER TIME AND

CHANGE WITH MARKET DEMANDS.

SO THEY RECOGNIZE THAT.

AND THEY BUILT THAT FLEXIBILITY INTO THE DRI, WHICH IS

THE MASTER PLAN FOR AT AREA THE BASIS OF THE CERTIFIED

SITE PLAN AT THE PD LEVEL.

HAVING SAID THAT, THEY BUILT THAT FLEXIBILITY INTO IT

AND THEY HAVE A SPECIFIC NOTE ON THERE THAT SAYS USES

DEPICTING DEMARCATION BETWEEN LAND USE CATEGORIES MAY

BE ADJUSTED A I COULD COME DATE MARKET CONDITIONS AND

INNOVATIVE BUILDING DESIGNS AND EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

REGULATORY APPROVAL THAT SETS PRECEDENCE FOR THIS

PROJECT.

WHAT IS THE FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY?

REGIONAL MIXED USE 1 MOUNTAIN.

THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST INTENSE LAND USES YOU COULD

POSSIBLY HAVE IN YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THE PLANNER FOR THE OPPOSITION -- IN THEIR OPPOSITION

REPORT WHO IS NOT HERE INDICATED THEY WANTED

NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL IN THIS LOCATION.

SO I WENT BACK THROUGH IT.

THERE ARE NO REGULATORY APPROVALS IN PLACE THAT WOULD

REQUIRE ANY COMMERCIAL USES IN THIS DRI TO BE

NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE.

THERE IS A MUCH LARGER HOTEL A BLOCK AWAY.

AND THAT IS WHY THIS HOTEL IS COMPATIBLE AND

APPROPRIATE IN OUR REGIONAL MIXED USE LAND USE

CATEGORY.

LASTLY I LOOKED AT THE HISTORICAL ZONING FOR THE

PARCEL.

THE CITY OF TAMPA APPROVED THIS FOR NONRESIDENTIAL

USES.

NEVER CONSIDERED THE ROAD TO BE THE DEMARCATION LINE.

RATHER THE ENTIRE PARCEL OR THE AREA THAT IS DESIGNATED

ON THE DRI MAP AND THE PLAN AS NONRESIDENTIAL AND

THEREFORE THOSE USES THAT ARE APPROVED FOR THAT MIXED

USE PARCEL ARE ALLOWED ON THIS SITE.

IN PARTICULAR, AND, AGAIN, THE PLAN IS TO -- PLANNERS

WHO ORIGINALLY WORKED ON THIS DRI DID HAVE THE

FORESIGHT TO STATE THAT ON THE MAP, USES DEPICTING

DEMARCATION OF LAND USE CATEGORIES MAY BE ADJUSTED TO

ACCOMMODATE MARKET CONDITIONS AND INNOVATIVE BUSINESS

DESIGN.

SET IN ANOTHER WAY, WHY YOUR ZONING HISTORY SHOW THE IT

IS NOTE KNIGHT'S RUN, BUT THE GATE.

SO YOU HAVE ALREADY DRAWN THAT LINE.

AS MY COLLEAGUES HAVE SHOWN IN THE PRESENTATION, THE

RESIDENTIAL LAND USES BEHIND THE GATES ARE PROTECTED

AND BUFFERED BY THE GATES.

AND A WIDE VARIETY OF HIVTS IN HARBOUR ISLAND NORTH AND

SOUTH OF THE GATE.

THAT IS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH RMU-100 WHICH ALLOWS FOR

LOW-RISE, MEDIUM-RISE AND HIGH-RISE TO CO-EXIST.

THE BUILDING DESIGN ITSELF ENCOURAGES PEDESTRIAN

ACTIVITY AND AN ARTICLE AS WELL IN MY PLANNING REPORT

THAT TALKS ABOUT HOW THE TRANSPARENCY OF THE BUILDING

IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN HUMAN SCALE AND WILL SPUR

PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY AND SENSITIVE TO THE URBAN CONTEXT

OF THE COMMUNITY AND IT IS FUNNY BECAUSE I USE THE SAME

PICTURE THAT THE OPPOSITION USED TO LOOK.

WHEN I LOOKED AT IT, I THOUGHT THAT IS A 1980S BANK

TOTALLY INCONSISTENT WITH THE BEAUTIFUL HIGH-RISES

SURROUNDING IT.

SO I SAW THE SAME PICTURE AND LOOKED AT THAT TIME

COMPLETELY DIFFERENTLY.

THEREFORE, IT IS MY OPINION THAT THIS IS VERY

APPROPRIATE FOR A MIXED USE AREA AND DEMONSTRATES

CONSISTENCY OF A HOTEL.

AND I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

19:54:03 >> JAKE CREAMER AGAIN.

MISS SPIDELL, IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL PLANNING IS THIS

CONSISTENT WITH THE COMP PLAN AND PD.

19:54:13 >> YES.

19:54:15 >> JAKE CRAMER.

FOR THE RECORD, WE HEARD A LOT TONIGHT.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO FOCUS ON THE LEGAL STANDARD THAT WE

ARE APPLYING TONIGHT.

AS YOU ALL KNOW WHEN IT COMES TO REZONINGS, NOT A

POPULARITY CONTEST.

WE ARE APPLYING YOUR LAWS TO THE EVIDENCE.

WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT JUST TO WISH TO MAINTAIN THE

STATUS QUO, THAT IS NOT ENOUGH.

THAT IS NOT A DEFENSE.

AND WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT CITIZEN TESTIMONY -- THIS

IS VERY IMPORTANT.

CITIZEN TESTIMONY ON TECHNICAL SUBJECTS LIKE LAND USE

PLANNING, LIKE ENGINEERING, LIKE TRAFFIC, LIKE

POLLUTION, THOSE ARE EXPERT SUBJECTS THAT ONLY EXPERTS

CAN TESTIFY ON.

COUNCIL, YOU DIDN'T HEAR FROM AN EXPERT ON ANY OF THOSE

SUBJECTS TONIGHT FROM THE OPPOSITION.

THE ONLY EVIDENCE IN THE RECORD TONIGHT IS YOUR

PROFESSIONAL PLANNING STAFF'S OPINION, THE OPINION OF

THE PLANNING COMMISSION, MISS SPIDELL, HER OPINION.

THAT IS THE PLANNING -- THOSE ARE THE PLANNING OPINIONS

IN THE RECORD TONIGHT.

WHAT THAT MEANS IS, ONCE WE HAVE ESTABLISHED OUR CASE,

THE BURDEN SHIFTS UNDER THE CASE LAW TO THE OPPOSITION.

THE OPPOSITION THEN HAS TO SHOW THAT THE CURRENT USE OF

THE LAND IS REASONABLE AND DOES NOT EFFECT -- DOES NOT

ADVERSELY EFFECT OUR PROPERTY RIGHTS.

COUNCIL, I WOULD SUGGEST TO YOU THEY HAVE NOT EVEN

TRIED TO MAKE THAT CASE.

THIS IS THE CURRENT PROPERTY.

IF WE CAN GO TO THE POWERPOINT PLEASE.

WE HAVE AN OLD, OUTDATED BANK BUILDING THAT IS RIGHT

NEXT TO A WALL.

WE HAVE A 12-STORY BUILDING AND A 21-STORY BUILDING

NEXT TO THIS BUILDING.

THE DRI, THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE DRI AND THE PLANS

AROUND THIS PROPERTY, AROUND THIS -- AND HARBOUR

ISLAND, THE WHOLE PURPOSE WAS TO MIX USES, TO MIX

HEIGHT, SO WE GET THIS FABRIC WHERE PEOPLE CAN WALK.

WHERE WE CAN HAVE THIS EXTENSION OF DOWNTOWN.

THAT IS WHAT THE PLANNING OPINIONS ARE AS FAR AS THE

ENTITLEMENTS THAT ARE ALLOWED.

YOU KNOW, OUR SCALE IS SIMILAR.

YOU ARE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH THE HOTEL HYATT WHICH

HAS 178 ROOMS AND EPICURION WITH 137 ROOMS AND SOON

INCREASING TO 188 ROOMS.

THAT IS THE SCALE WE ARE LOOKING AT.

THE OP SIGNIFICANCE -- I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST THAT THEY

DIDN'T OFFER ANYTHING TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND ON

BAYSHORE.

IN COUNCIL HAS APPROVED MANY PROJECTS, PREVIOUS

COUNCILS HAVE APPROVED MANY PROJECTS OF VERY, VERY TALL

BUILDINGS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES AND

FOUND THEM COMPATIBLE.

IN THOSE CASES, THE FUTURE LAND USE OF THE TOWERS WAS

MUCH HIGHER THAN THE FUTURE LAND USE OF THE

SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.

AGAIN, GOING BACK TO HARBOUR ISLAND.

YOU HEARD FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

THE ENTIRE ISLAND IS RMU-100.

THE SAME AS CHANNELSIDE.

THAT IS THE VISION AS ONE OF THE SPEAKERS MENTIONED

THAT THIS COUNCIL HAS SET FOR THE ISLAND.

THAT HAS BEEN THE CASE SINCE THE DRI WAS INITIATED 40

YEARS AGO.

COUNCIL, I WANT TO GO BACK AND ADDRESS ONE PERCEIVED

TRAFFIC CONCERN BECAUSE I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MY CLIENT

TONIGHT.

I MENTION TO YOU A REPORT THAT WAS PREPARED BY CITY

STAFF'S CONSULTANT.

THAT REPORT RECOMMENDS ABOUT A DOZEN POTENTIAL

SOLUTIONS TO THE OFF-SITE, OFF THE ISLAND TRAFFIC

PROBLEMS THAT YOU JUST HEARD ABOUT TONIGHT FROM MANY

SPEAKERS.

LIBERTY IS WILLING TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE.

THIS ISN'T A PROBLEM WE HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO OR CAUSED.

19:57:58 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
30 SECONDS.

19:57:59 >> THANK YOU.

LIBERTY IS WILLING TO CONTRIBUTE $50,000 TO THE CITY'S

IMPLEMENTATION WITHIN THREE YEARS OF CERTIFICATE OF

OCCUPANCY OF THE HOTEL TO ANY OF THE SOLUTIONS THAT THE

CITY CHOOSES FROM THIS REPORT.

SO I WANTED TO PUT THAT ON THE TABLE.

WE ARE HAPPY TO ADD THAT AS A NOTE, YOU KNOW, AS IT

WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO THE SITE PLAN BETWEEN FIRST AND

SECOND READING.

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

THE SITE PLAN.

THAT IS NOT RELATED TO THE CRITERIA.

THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE NOT -- NOT SOMETHING

THAT THE CITY WILL APPROVE TO HAVE PUT ON THE SITE

PLAN.

COUNCIL, MY SUGGESTION IS THAT NOT BE CONSIDERED.

I DON'T BELIEVE THERE WILL BE ANY MECHANISM OTHER THAN

THAT TO BE ABLE TO ENFORCE THAT.

19:58:57 >> IF I MAY RESPOND, THE ENFORCEMENT WOULD BE VERY

EASY.

WE WOULD HAVE A TIMING AND THE CITY'S POTENTIAL

COMPLIANCE WITH THE TIMING.

WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST IS, WE HEARD CONCERNS ABOUT THIS

CORRIDOR.

AND POTENTIAL -- POTENTIAL PEDESTRIAN AND AUTOMOBILE

CONFLICTS.

WE HEARD ABOUT THAT AS A CONCERN.

AND WE ARE -- YOU KNOW, WE ARE OFFERING TO HELP ASSIST

WITH THAT CONCERN.

19:59:23 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

BEFORE I ACCEPT A MOTION TO CLOSE, DO WE HAVE ANY

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.

I WROTE DOWN SOME NOTES.

MISS MANDELL SPOKE OF AVAILABILITY OF REMAINING

ENTITLEMENTS AND SHE NEVER SAID HOW MUCH AND WHERE.

NUMBER ONE.

NUMBER TWO, SPOKE OF A VERY LARGE HOTEL A BLOCK AWAY.

BUT YOU NEVER TOLD THIS COUNCIL, IS IT SOUTH OR NORTH

OF KNIGHT'S RUN AVENUE.

20:00:00 >> NORTH.

20:00:03 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THE ATTORNEY SPOKE OF HYATT AND

COMPARING HOTEL --

20:00:07 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
SORRY, MR. MIRANDA.

DID YOU WANT A QUESTION OF THE WITNESS.

DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION OF THE WITNESS --

20:00:13 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
LET ME FINISH MY QUESTION --

PLEASE, SIR, I AM DOING THE QUESTIONING.

NOT YOU, SIR.

20:00:21 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
UNDERSTOOD.

SPOKE OF TWO HOTELS.

ONE IN YBOR CITY AND ONE ON THE SOUTH END OF HOWARD, I

BELIEVE.

BOTH VERY WELL, VERY WELL RUN, VERY WELL, BUT THEY BOTH

-- THE SETTING OF THEM ARE CERTAINLY NOT THE SETTING

WITH THIS ONE.

I AM TRYING TO MAKE THE COMPARISON BECAUSE THEY GAVE ME

A COMPARISON WHICH DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

ONE IS IN YBOR CITY.

THE OTHER IN SOUTH HOWARD, THEN YOU BRING UP THE

BAYSHORE BOULEVARD.

THE BAYSHORE BOULEVARD STARTED BACK IN THE '70S OF

AVAILABILITY OF HIGH-RISE.

IF I RECALL. NOTICE I SAID "IF I RECALL."

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE INFORMATION GIVEN TO THIS

COUNCIL REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF ENTITLEMENTS

REMAINING WHERE ARE THEY AND HOW -- I THINK WE ARE

ENTITLED TO THAT.

20:01:08 >> A GOOD QUESTION.

ON PAGE THREE OF MY PLANNING REPORT, THERE IS A TABLE

ONE DRI ENTITLEMENT.

ACCORDING TO THE LAST ANNUAL REPORT THAT WAS PROVIDED

FOR THE DRI WAS 1477 RESIDENTIAL UNITS AVAILABLE.

515,956 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE.

251 HOTEL ROOMS.

350 CONFERENCE CENTER ROOMS -- UNITS.

ZERO ATHLETIC FACILITIES THAT WERE CONSTRUCTED.

179,625 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL AND AN EXTRA 239

BOAT SLIPS.

THAT IS WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED AND MITIGATED FOR.



20:01:45 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THANK YOU.

NOT TO MAKE A SCENE, WHEN DID YOU RECEIVE THIS ITEM FROM

YOURSELF TODAY, THIS BOOK?

20:01:50 >> I'M SORRY?

20:01:51 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
WHEN DID WE RECEIVE THIS BOOK?

BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO READ THIS BOOK.

THIS BOOK WAS GIVEN TO US, BOOM, THERE IT IS.

AND HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHERE IT'S AT?

I APPRECIATE --

20:02:02 >> I CAN WALK YOU THROUGH --

20:02:04 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
WE DON'T HAVE EYES THAT CAN SEE THROUGH

ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT QUICKLY.

AT LEAST I DON'T.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE OTHERS.

20:02:11 >> DID YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION FOR ME?

20:02:15 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THANK YOU.

AND THE OTHER QUESTION WAS ON SOUTH HOWARD, THEY ARE




CERTAINLY GREAT ADDITIONS TO THE AREA, BUT IT'S A STANDARD

OF THE SAME AS YOU PRESENTED.

20:02:32 >> COUNCILMAN, I WAS JUST GIVING THOSE AS EXAMPLES OF HOTELS

WITH ROOM COUNT, SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING, MUCH

LARGER HOTELS.

I APOLOGIZE.

20:02:51 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
NO PROBLEM.

THEN THE OTHER QUESTION WAS, MS. SPIDEL, YOU MENTIONED THE

LARGE HOTEL A BLOCK AWAY.

IS THAT SOUTH OR NORTH?

20:02:58 >> THAT'S NORTH.

IT'S WATERSIDE.

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.

SO IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH WATERSIDE --

[SOUNDING GAVEL]

20:03:23 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
PLEASE.

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.

SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.

ALL IN FAVOR?




ANY OPPOSED?

WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL?

WE HAVE TO VOTE ON ONE BEFORE WE VOTE ON THE OTHER.

20:03:48 >>LUIS VIERA:
YES.

MAY I GIVE JUST SOME CONSIDERATIONS AND THOUGHTS ON THIS, IF

I MAY?

20:03:55 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
SURE.

20:03:55 >>LUIS VIERA:
AND I KNOW WE ARE ALL LOOKING FOR

CONSIDERATIONS AND THOUGHTS BECAUSE THIS IS A -- THIS IS A

HOT BUTTON ISSUE, IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING.

YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE REASONS I KEPT ON ASKING FOR

INFORMATION ON WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN RELY UPON CERTAIN

THINGS IN ISSUING A DECISION ON THIS IS BECAUSE THIS IS A

LEGAL PROCEEDING.

A LEGAL PROCEEDING WITH ACCOUNTABILITY, WITH APPEALS,

ET CETERA, WHERE IF ONE SIDE DOESN'T LIKE THE WAY THAT IT

GOES, THERE'S A SEQUEL, RIGHT?

COULD BE MANY SEQUELS, IN FACT.

SO I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

I ALWAYS SAY WHENEVER IT COMES TO CASES LIKE THIS, WE HAVE

TO SEE IF THERE'S LEGS TO SUPPORT THAT STOOL EITHER TO

SUPPORT SOMETHING OR DENY IT, AND THERE'S A LOT OF ISSUES

THAT CAN GO INTO FAIRNESS AND EQUITY, ET CETERA, FROM AN

INFORMAL NON-LEGAL DEFINED PERSPECTIVE, BUT THAT MAY NOT BE

TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT ON A HEARING.




WHEN I LOOK AT THIS, THERE'S A NUMBER OF ISSUES HERE, NUMBER

ONE, THE PUBLIC BRINGS UP A LOT OF GOOD ISSUES AGAIN ON AN

INFORMAL BASIS, THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE ON THAT PIECE OF

PROPERTY.

OBVIOUSLY A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S VERY, VERY COMPELLING.

WHAT BOTHERS ME IS THAT WE HAVE TWO, WHAT I CALL,

UNBLEMISHED REPORTS FROM CITY STAFF, AND FROM THE PLANNING

COMMISSION.

WITHOUT ANY WAIVERS SOUGHT WHATSOEVER.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WEIGHS ON MY MIND A LOT.

I LOOK AT ISSUES IN TERMS OF -- WE HAVE THE COMP PLAN.

APPARENTLY -- AND I AM GOING TO RELY UPON WHAT SOMEONE IN

THE AUDIENCE SAID.

I REMEMBER WHEN COUNCIL AMENDED THE COMP PLAN MAYBE FIVE,

SIX, SEVEN YEARS AGO -- RIGHT? -- THAT HAS BEEN RELIED UPON

IN THIS.

SO I LOOK AT LEGAL LEGS THAT CAN GO OWN A STOOL IN

SUPPORTING IT OR DENYING SOMETHING.

THAT'S WHAT I ALWAYS LOOK FOR BECAUSE THIS IS A LEGAL

PROCESS WHERE THERE IS ACCOUNTABILITY, APPEALS, AND WHAT I

CALL SEQUELS.

SO TONIGHT MAY BE A ROCKY 1.

THERE'S GOING TO BE A ROCKY 2, 3, 4, 5 LATER ON POTENTIALLY.

JUST SOME GENERAL THOUGHTS AND CONSIDERATIONS, IF I MAY.




THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.

20:06:09 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
YOU'RE WELCOME.

IF OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE THOUGHTS, ET CETERA.

20:06:24 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
I WAS HOPING TO HEAR A MOTION AND THEN WE

WOULD HAVE DISCUSSION AFTER A MOTION IS MADE.

THERE IS NO MOTION YET.

NOBODY HAS MADE A MOTION.

20:06:36 >>LUIS VIERA:
JUST TO GET DISCUSSION STARTED, READ NUMBER

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.

ITEM NUMBER 2 I GUESS IS A COMPANION TO THIS, BUT YOU HEARD

TALK ABOUT THE DRI AND ENTITLEMENTS UNDER THE DRI.

SO THERE ARE EXCESS TITLEMENT IN THE AREA OF REGIONAL

IMPACT.

THIS DEVELOPER DOES NOT OWN THOSE ENTITLEMENTS.

SO THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE THIS NOTICE OF PROPOSED CHANGE

BEFORE YOU SO THAT, WHICH IS REQUESTING TO THE ENTITLEMENTS

WITHIN THE DRI WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE REZONING TO GO FORWARD.

THAT'S WHY THE DRI AMENDMENT IS FIRST.

SO IF COUNCIL WOULD LIKE, THEN I WOULD LIKE TO STATE THOUGH

BECAUSE THERE WAS A CHANGE IN THE AMENDMENT TO THE NOTICE OF

PROPOSED CHANGE, WHICH A NUMBER OF PROPOSED HOTEL ROOMS AND

THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION IN THE ORDINANCE, SO I DID




WANT TO MAKE THE STATEMENT FOR THE RECORD, AND BETWEEN FIRST

AND SECOND READING MAKE ANY CORRECTIONS TO THE ORDINANCE, SO

THE INCREASE IN ENTITLEMENTS UNDER THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER

WOULD PERMIT A MAXIMUM OF 150 HOTEL ROOMS WITH ANCILLARY

USES AND 160 PARKING SPACES, AND THEN THE TERMINATION OF THE

DEVELOPMENT ORDER WOULD BE SEPTEMBER 27th OF 2024.

ENTITLEMENT IS STILL THE SAME ON THE ORDINANCE, THOUGH.

20:08:06 >>LUIS VIERA:
THANK YOU.

AND I DO THIS TO GET THE CONVERSATION STARTED, TO THE EXTENT

THAT COUNCIL MEMBERS WANT TO GIVE THEIR THOUGHTS, BECAUSE I

OPEN TO THOUGHTS, RIGHT?

I AM OPEN TO THOUGHTS.

SO HERE WE GO.

I READ AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF TAMPA, FLORIDA APPROVING

THE SIXTH AMENDMENT TO A DEVELOPMENT ORDER RENDERED PURSUANT

TO CHAPTER 380 FLORIDA STATUTES FILED BY LIBERTY HOSPITALITY

MANAGEMENT LLC FOR HARBOR ISLAND A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED

DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL IMPACT PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE,

WITH THE CORRECTIONS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING THAT

MS. JOHNSON-VELEZ REFERENCED.

20:08:36 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
I HAVE HEARD A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN VIERA.

IS THERE A SECOND?

20:08:43 >>LYNN HURTAK:
I WILL SECOND.

20:08:45 >> SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.

ANY DISCUSSION?




20:08:50 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
AND WE HAVEN'T HEARD THE CONVERSATION

ABOUT, I DON'T KNOW, THREE HOURS OR SO, WHICH IS FINE,

ENHANCING AND MAKE ME A BETTER PERSON IN UNDERSTANDING

WHAT'S GOING ON, AND I LOOK AT ONE THING, THE MAP BEFORE

ITEM NUMBER D.

THAT MAP AND THE CONSEQUENCES THAT I LOOKED AT, IF THIS

HOTEL WAS ANYWHERE, OR THIS PROPERTY WAS ANYWHERE NORTH, I

WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH IT.

NOT ONE.

BUT THIS DEVELOPMENT IS SOUTH OF KNIGHT'S RUN AVENUE, AND

THIS WILL STARTED, IN MY OPINION, POSSIBLE, NOTICE I SAID A

POSSIBLE, PATH, DOMINO EFFECT ON GOING IN THE SAME

MANNERISMS AS THAT ITEM THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT SOUTH OF

KNIGHT'S AVENUE, THE HOTEL.

SO THEREFORE I WOULD NOT BE SUPPORTING THE MOTION.

[ APPLAUSE ]

[SOUNDING GAVEL]

20:09:53 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
I UNDERSTAND YOUR ZEAL.

COUNCILMAN GUDES.

20:10:00 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
WHEN I LOOK AT THE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT HAVE

BEEN REFERENCED BY THE APPLICANT AND IN THE GENERAL PUBLIC,

YOU SEE SOME DISPARITIES THERE.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT CORNER.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, I BELIEVE ON THE

WEST SIDE, YOU SEE ALL OF THE BIG BUILDINGS WHEN YOU GO TO




THE EASTERN SIDE, A DISPARITY.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE OVERALL PICTURE OF THE COMP

PLAN, SOMETIMES WHEN DIFFERENT COUNCIL APPROVE THINGS,

THINGS DO CHANGE SOMETIMES.

DURING THE COURSE OF YEARS.

SOMETIMES WHEN COUNCIL MAKES THE DECISION, IT AFFECTS LATER

COUNCILS MUCH LATER ON WHEN WE HAVE TO MAKE DECISIONS, TOUGH

DECISIONS.

THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS ABOUT DEVELOPMENT, AND TAMPA IS

GROWING, AND THE HOTEL INDUSTRY BRINGS A LOT OF TOURISM AND

THAT WAS A BIG THING, BACK IN THOSE DAYS, THAT WE DIDN'T

HAVE ENOUGH HOTELS.

I THINK WE ARE STARTING TO GROW NOW WITH HOTELS.

BUT I LISTENED TO THE APPLICANT, LOOKED AT THE FACTS, AND

THERE ARE SOME VALID POINTS, BUT ALSO LOOK AT THE TOTALITY

OF WHERE THAT BUILDING MAY GO TO.

AND IT KIND OF BOTHERS ME WHERE IT'S SETTING AT WHEN I LOOK

AT THE DIAGRAM AND THE PHOTOS.

IT COULD BE A PROBLEM.

I CAN'T SAY IT WILL BE BUT IT COULD POTENTIALLY.

SO I AM STILL LEERY BUT I WILL LISTEN TO OTHER COUNCIL

MEMBERS.

WHEN I LOOK AT THE DESIGN, THE COMMUNITY DOES HAVE SOME

CONCERN.

20:11:47 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS?




20:11:50 >>LYNN HURTAK:
I DO UNDERSTAND THE COMPATIBILITY.

I LOOK AT THAT.

I ALSO -- I DO SEE A CLEAR DEMARCATION WHERE THE GATES ARE.

WHERE THE GATES ARE, VERY CLEAR DEMARCATION BETWEEN WHAT I

SEE AS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE.

SO I AM ACTUALLY INCLINED TO GO THE OPPOSITE WAY AND APPROVE

THIS BECAUSE IT IS OUTSIDE, IT IS STILL A PUBLIC SPACE, AND

THE -- ALL OUR STAFF HAS APPROVED IT, FOUND IT CONSISTENT,

NO WAIVERS.

I FIND IT LEGALLY DIFFICULT TO DISAPPROVE.

20:12:51 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
I AM UNDERSTANDING BOTH SIDES OF THIS

HEARING.

I LOOK TO A CERTAIN THING THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE INTO

CONSIDERATION.

THE EXISTING LAND USE, I AM GOING TO GO OFF TO ONE SIDE.

PEOPLE KEEP TALKING DENSITY, DENSITY, DENSITY, DENSITY.

WOULD THIS DENSITY BE BETTER SUITED FOR LIVING RESIDENTS, BE

IT BE APARTMENT OR COUNCILMAN, WHETHER YOU HAVE ONE-YEAR

LEASE OR SOMEBODY LIVING THERE FOR 20 YEARS?

THAT IS DISCUSSION FOR PLANNING.

AND FUTURE PLAN.

I KEEP HEARING ABOUT UBERS AND LYFTS, TRANSPORTATION, MODERN

TRANSPORTATION IS HOPEFULLY GOING TO BE DESIGNED FOR MOVING

PEOPLE, NOT VEHICLES.

I'M THINKING INTO THE FUTURE.




WOULD THIS HAVE BEEN BETTER SUITED FOR THE FUTURE?

WHERE WE HAVE TO HAVE, IN THIS TIME, IN THIS TIME, OF A

HOUSING CRUNCH.

IN THE FUTURE, HOPEFULLY -- AND I AM GOING TO GO THERE --

THE ALL FOR TRANSPORTATION TAX PASSES.

I UNDERSTAND BEFORE YOU START, I WILL BACK UP.

WE DON'T HAVE THE TRANSPORTATION NOW.

WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY IS, THIS WOULD BE BETTER USED FOR

FUTURE LAND USE.

AND I CAN SAY THAT.

I HAVE SAID MY PIECE.

THANK YOU.

WE HAVE A MOTION THAT HAS BEEN MADE BY COUNCILMAN VIERA,

SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.

BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER, MR. CREMER.

20:15:06 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
IS IT SOMETHING YOU ARE GOING TO REQUIRE

OF MR. CREMER?

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

COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.

I JUST WANT TO BE SURE -- I REALIZE THERE'S ONLY SIX COUNCIL

MEMBERS ON HERE AND THEY HAVE TO HAVE FOUR AFFIRMATIVE

VOTES.




20:15:33 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
WELL, I THINK THAT POINT HAS PASSED.

20:15:36 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THEN THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

FORGET IT.

I STAND CORRECTED.

OKAY.

ALL IN FAVOR -- MOTION MADE BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.

SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.

ALL IN FAVOR?

THANK YOU.

ROLL CALL VOTE.

20:15:56 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
AGAIN THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR NOW IS ITEM

NUMBER 2.

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,

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.

I'M SORRY.




20:16:43 >> GO AHEAD.

20:16:44 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I'M JUST SAYING, SOMEONE HAS TO MAKE A

MOTION.

20:16:47 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
OKAY, MAKE A MOTION FOR -- DO I HEAR A

MOTION?

20:16:54 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
NO, A MOTION FOR NUMBER TWO.

20:16:57 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
YOU HAVE TO STICK ON TWO.

IT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED.

IT HASN'T BEEN DENIED.

IT HAS NOT BEEN DENIED.

20:17:03 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
THAT'S CORRECT.

MR. MIRANDA IS CORRECT.

NOW, COUNCIL, ACCORDING TO YOUR CHARTER, YOU NEED AN

AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF FOUR IN ORDER TO TAKE ACTION

PARTICULARLY ON THIS DRI, SO IF THERE'S NOT ANOTHER MOTION

IN ORDER, IT WOULD BE A MOTION TO DENY.

20:17:21 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
MS. WELLS, WE HAVE THE CRITERIA HERE

BEGINNING WITH ITEM NUMBER 3, THERE'S NOT ONE FOR ITEM

NUMBER 2.

MAY I JUST MAKE A MOTION TO DENY THIS DRI WITHOUT HAVING TO

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,

DRI-22-72367.

I THINK THAT'S IT.




ALL RIGHT.

MOTION TO DENY.

20:17:56 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
WOULD IT BE CORRECT TO PUT, AS FAR AS

I'M CONCERNED, WHY?

I DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE DETAILS.

THEN I WILL LEAVE IT THE WAY IT IS.

I SECOND THE MOTION FROM MR. MANISCALCO.

20:18:10 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MOTION MADE BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO,

SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.

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,

VIERA AND HURTAK VOTING NO.

20:18:32 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

20:18:33 >> COUNCIL, WOULD YOU CONSIDER REOPENING, TALK ABOUT THE

NEXT ITEM?

20:18:41 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
WE HAVE ALREADY CLOSED ON THAT.

I HAVE NEVER PERSONALLY REOPENED -- THE FIRST PART HAS BEEN

DENIED.

20:18:52 >> THESE MOTIONS STAND SEPARATELY.




I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS CLEAR.

20:18:58 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
WITHOUT THE FIRST ONE, THE SECOND ONE

BECOMES NULL AND VOID, AM I CORRECT?

MS. WELLS?

20:19:07 >> THAT'S NOT CORRECT.

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

ORDER, I DON'T SEE HOW THE REZONING CAN MOVE FORWARD.

BUT IF MR. CREMER DISAGREES WITH THAT, CERTAINLY HE CAN

SPEAK TO COUNCIL ON THAT POINT.

20:19:27 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THEN DO WE NEED A MOTION TO REOPEN FOR

NUMBER 3?

WE HAVE A MOTION MADE BY COUNCILMAN VIERA.

SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO TO REOPEN FILE REZ 21-52.

MR. CREMER.

I'M SORRY.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ANY OPPOSED?

THANK YOU.

MR. CREMER.

SORRY, IT'S BEEN A LONG NIGHT ALREADY.

20:20:02 >> I APPRECIATE THE INDULGENCE.

I KNOW IT'S BEEN A LONG NIGHT.

I JUST WANT TO EXPLAIN, NOW THAT IT HAS BEEN DENIED, IF THE




CONCERN WAS THAT WE WERE ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL ENTITLEMENTS,

YOU CAN STILL APPROVE THE REZONING.

WE WOULD JUST BE FORCED TO GO OUT AND APPLY OUR ENTITLEMENTS

FROM THOSE WHO HAVE THEM.

THE ISLAND HAS ONLY BEEN BUILT OUT AT ABOUT HALF OF ITS

DENSITY AND INTENSITY.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTOOD THAT.

THANK YOU.

20:20:28 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
MOTION TO CLOSE.

20:20:31 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
BEFORE WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE, IS THERE

ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. CREMER?

IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT TO THAT?

20:20:44 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
NO --

20:20:48 >> NO?

AGAIN, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE I HAVE

BEEN ON COUNCIL.

SO PLEASE FORGIVE ME ON THIS.

EXCUSE ME.

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.

AND I AM NOT HERE FOR ANY -- AT ALL BUT IN THE BEGINNING WE

MADE IT VERY CLEAR THESE WERE GOING TO BE HANDLED TOGETHER.

THERE'S NO DOUBT THE RECORD SAYS THAT IF YOU READ IT BACK.

WE HAVE SAID THAT.




WE VOTED ON THAT.

AND NOW WE SAY NOW WE WANT TO SEPARATE IT.

I AM NOT IN THE MOOD TO GO TO WHAT WE AGREED TO IN THE

BEGINNING.

AND ALL PARTIES AGREED.

I DIDN'T HEAR ONE OBJECTION.

SO IT'S MY ASSUMPTION AT THAT TIME THAT THERE WAS NO

OBJECTION, THAT EVERYBODY APPROVED TO GO WITH TWO AT ONCE, 2

AND 3.

AND I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY, AND I AM GETTING OF AGE, BUT I

STILL HEAR PRETTY DAMN WELL.

20:21:58 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MS. MANDELL?

20:22:06 >>JULIA MANDELL:
AGAIN FOR THE RECORD, JULIA MANDELL.

I WANT TO JUST UNDERSTAND WHERE WE ARE PROCEDURALLY.

WHAT I UNDERSTAND PROCEDURALLY HAS OCCURRED IS THE NOPC, NO

ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T ACHIEVE FOUR

VOTES.

DENIED?

THEN I MISUNDERSTOOD THAT.

THAT BEING SAID, I WOULD AGREE WITH MR. MIRANDA.

THESE WERE OPENED TOGETHER, AND I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THOSE

NEED TO BE DEALT WITH IN THAT MANNER.

BUT AGAIN I WAS UNDERSTANDING WHERE WE WERE.

20:22:39 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU, MS. MANDELL.

NOW WE HAVE HEARD THE VOICE OF EXPERIENCE.




WE HAVE ALSO HEARD FROM MR. CREMER.

IS THERE A MOTION TO CLOSE?

20:22:48 >> SO MOVED.

20:22:49 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MOTION MADE BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.

SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.

ALL IN FAVOR?

ANY OPPOSED?

WE ARE NOW CLOSED.

[ APPLAUSE ]

[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

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

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.

WHEN STAFF WORKED ON THE REPORT FOR ITEM NUMBER 3, THE

REZONING, THE PRESUMPTION WAS THAT WITHOUT THE DRI

DEVELOPMENT ORDER BEING APPROVED, YOU COULDN'T MOVE FORWARD

WITH THE REZONING.

IF IT'S MR. CREMER'S POSITION THAT IT'S AN ISSUE OF SIMPLY




NOW ACQUIRING ENTITLEMENTS IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO MOVE

FORWARD WITH THE REZONING IF APPROVED, I WOULD ASK COUNCIL

TO GO AHEAD AND CONSIDER NOW THAT THE NOC FOR THE DRI

DEVELOPMENT ORDER HAS BEEN DENIED UNDER ITEM NUMBER 2, BASED

ON THE EVIDENCE THAT WAS CONSIDERED DURING THE HEARING, THAT

OPENED UP ITEM NUMBER 2 AND NUMBER 3, CONSIDER THE REQUEST

FOR REZONING BASED UPON THE EVIDENCE THAT'S BEEN TAKEN INTO

THE RECORD AND MAKE A DECISION AS IT RELATES TO WHETHER OR

NOT THE REQUESTED PD SITE PLAN IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND

DEVELOPMENT CODE AND WITH APPLICABLE PROVISIONS IN THE

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

20:24:37 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
UNLESS SOMEBODY WANTS TO -- EXCUSE ME.

I AM GOING TO SIDE WITH COUNCILMAN MIRANDA ON THIS.

IF SOMEONE AGAIN WANTS TO REOPEN.

MR. MIRANDA.

20:24:50 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I APOLOGIZE TO ANYONE, BECAUSE I AM

GOING TO TAKE MY OWN ADVICE FROM COUNSEL FOR THE CITY.

I DON'T HAVE LAW DEGREE, ONLY COUNCILMAN VIERA, AND THAT

MIGHT NOT BE APPLICABLE IN COURT.

BUT I AM GOING TO AGREE WITH WHATEVER MS. WELLS SAID TO DO,

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

REOPEN BASED UPON ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY CATE WELLS TO

REOPEN.




20:25:21 >>CATE WELLS:
TO TAKE ACTION ON THE REZONING APPLICATION

UNDER ITEM NUMBER 3.

20:25:26 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY, THE HEARING WAS

CLOSED.

20:25:31 >>CATE WELLS:
I WILL DEFER TO YOU ON THE PROCEDURE OF WHEN

IT'S APPROPRIATE TO TAKE ACTION.

MY ADVICE TO CITY COUNCIL IS THAT THEY CONSIDER THE

APPLICATION THAT HAS BEEN FILED AS ITEM NUMBER 3 ON THE

REZONING, AND CONSIDER IT BASED UPON THE MERITS AND MAKE A

DECISION BASED ON WHETHER OR NOT IT COMPLIES WITH THE LAND

DEVELOPMENT CODE AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

BUT I WILL DEFER TO YOU, MR. SHELBY, AS THE CITY COUNCIL

ATTORNEY AS TO PROCEDURE.

20:25:54 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
IT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION THEN,

COUNCIL, THAT AS MR. MIRANDA HAS STATED THAT THIS WAS

SUPPOSED TO BE TAKEN TOGETHER, AND YOU HAVE HEARD EVERYTHING

THAT YOU NEED TO HEAR, YOU HAVE TAKEN IN THE EVIDENCE THAT

YOU NEED TO WEIGH THE COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE TO

WEIGH THE DECISION.

AND THAT BEING SAID, WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IS THE

ORDINANCE THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU, AND MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE

THAT YOU DON'T REOPEN.

IS THERE A MOTION ALREADY TO REOPEN?

YOU DIDN'T VOTE ON IT YET.

SO MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO NOT REOPEN THE HEARING BECAUSE




THERE IS NO PURPOSE TO REOPENING THE HEARING BUT ACTUALLY TO

MOVE FORWARD TO COMPLETE IT BY TAKING A VOTE.

AND AGAIN, STATEMENTS OF FACT WHICH YOU RELY ON IN ORDER TO

MAKE YOUR DECISION, PLEASE.

20:26:46 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.

20:26:49 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
LET ME SAY YOU LEARN SOMETHING EVERY

DAY, AND I LEARN SOMETHING EVERY DAY AND NIGHT BECAUSE WE

HAVE BEEN HERE DAY AND NIGHT.

BUT I LEARNED SOMETHING EVERY DAY AND THAT I WILL NEVER OPEN

TWO AT THE SAME TIME AGAIN, EVER.

20:27:02 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
JUST WAIT.

[ LAUGHTER ]

JUST WAIT.

OKAY.

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

SECONDED?

20:27:24 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
I SECONDED IT.

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

SOMEBODY WANTS TO TAKE ACTION, NOW THAT NUMBER 2 HAS BEEN




DEALT WITH, THE APPROPRIATE MOTION FOR NUMBER 3 WOULD BE A

MOTION TO DENY.

20:28:00 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
MAY I ASK A YOU PROCEDURAL QUESTION?

SINCE NUMBER 3 WANTS TO BE HEARD SEPARATELY NOW, I GUESS, DO

WE HAVE TO HEAR ALL OF THE THREE, OR DO WE TAKE EVIDENCE

FROM 2?

20:28:14 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
2 AND 3 WERE HEARD TOGETHER.

ALL THE EVIDENCE THAT PEOPLE SPOKE WERE APPLYING 2 AND 3 AT

THE SAME TIME.

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

3 WERE OPEN ALL TOGETHER.

ALL OF THE TESTIMONY OPENED PRESENTED BY THE APPLICANT, BY

MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AND JULIA MANDELL ON BEHALF OF ONE OF

THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS RELATED TO THOSE TWO ITEMS

COMBINED.

SO NOW THAT A MOTION HAS BEEN MADE AND PASSED WITH REGARD TO

ITEM NUMBER 2, WE WOULD ASK THAT COUNCIL MOVE ON AND MAKE A

SIMILAR MOTION CONSISTENT WITH, IF THAT'S YOUR PLEASURE,

CONSISTENT WITH THE ACTION TAKEN ON ITEM NUMBER 2, JUST TWO

SEPARATE MOTIONS.

AND AS WE HAVE DONE THAT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS,

WITH REZONINGS, WHERE COUNCIL WILL MAKE SEPARATE MOTIONS

WHILE THE ITEMS WERE OPENED TOGETHER, THE TESTIMONY WAS




PROVIDED AS IF IT WAS ONE HEARING, SEPARATE MOTIONS WERE

TAKEN AND AN APPROPRIATE ORDER AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE

RECOMMENDING TO CITY COUNCIL.

20:29:17 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
DO WE USE THE SAME FORMAT?

20:29:20 >>CATE WELLS:
YES, SIR.

NOW YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE APPLICATION FOR REZONING AND YOU

WOULD LOOK AT THE APPLICABLE CRITERIA FOR PLANNED

DEVELOPMENT SITE PLAN AS WELL AS THE APPLICABLE PROVISIONS

IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

20:29:35 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
WITH THE TESTIMONY THAT'S ALREADY BEEN

GIVEN.

20:29:37 >>CATE WELLS:
THAT IS CORRECT.

I THINK THE ONE CORRECTION HERE IS THEY REMOVED THE ONE

WAIVER THAT WAS ORIGINALLY INCLUDED IN THE APPLICATION FOR

REZONING.

20:29:47 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU, MS. WELLS.

THANK YOU, MR. SHELBY.

AS CHAIRMAN I AM NOW GOING TO TAKE CHARGE AND ASK FOR A VOTE

TO REOPEN NUMBER 3, REZ 22 --

20:30:00 >>> WE DON'T NEED TO.

20:30:01 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ALL RIGHT.

WELL, LET'S GET THIS PLANE LANDING.

YES?

20:30:09 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
MAY I THEREFORE MAKE A MOTION TO DENY?

OR DO WE NEED TO TAKE -- I MOVE TO DENY REZ-21-52 FOR THE




PROPERTY LOCATED AT 800 SOUTH HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD DUE

TO THE FAILURE OF THE APPLICANT TO MEET HIS BURDEN OF PROOF

TO PROVIDE COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL STANDINGS EVIDENCE FOR THE

DEVELOPMENT AS CONDITION AS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN IS

CONSISTENT WITH TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, CITY CODE AND THE

APPLICANT FAILURE TO MEET ITS BURDEN OF PROOF WITH RESPECT

TO THE REQUESTED WAIVERS.

I AM GOING TO TELL YOU WHY.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES AND

POLICIES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

WHILE THE PROPOSED REZONING BE ALLOWED FOR CONSIDERATION

UNDER THE EXISTING FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY, THE PLANNING

COMMISSION STAFF CONCLUDED THAT THE PROPOSED REZONING IS

CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ANTICIPATED UNDER

THE RMU 100 DESIGNATION.

I FIND THAT THE PROPOSED REZONING IS NOT COMPATIBLE, WITH

THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN SOUTH OF KNIGHT'S RUN.

ALSO FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION

27-136, PURPOSE OF SITE PLAN CONTROLLED DISTRICT, THE

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN DOES NOT

PROMOTE OR ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS APPROPRIATE IN

LOCATION, CHARACTER AND COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING

NEIGHBORHOOD.

PROPOSED USE DOES NOT PROMOTE THE EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE

USE OF LAND AND INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THAT THERE WERE SOME




WAIVERS THAT WERE REQUESTED --

20:31:38 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
NO WAIVERS.

20:31:39 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
NONE AT ALL?

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.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION?

20:31:51 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
AND IF I CAN, MR. CHAIRMAN, WITH REGARD TO

FINDINGS OF FACT THAT'S BASED UPON COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL

EVIDENCE THAT YOU HAVE HEARD IN ORDER TO JUSTIFY THE

DECISION, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE BASIS, YOU HAVE

DISCUSSED IT IN THE PAST, IN YOUR DISCUSSIONS, BUT FOR THE

PURPOSES OF THE RECORD, IS THERE ANY COMMENT YOU WANT TO

MAKE AS TO WHAT SUPPORTS THAT PARTICULAR DECISION?

20:32:17 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I CAN ATTEST TO WHAT COUNSEL SAID.

MY FEELING IS THAT THE KNIGHT'S RUN AVENUE IS THE BORDERLINE

BETWEEN HIGH-RISE AND TRAFFIC GENERATING INDIVIDUALS LIKE

HOTELS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS LOCATION, IT'S SOUTH OF KNIGHT'S RUN

AVENUE, AND YOU LOOK AT THE MAP PRESENTED BY THE PETITIONER,

ITEM C, THE LAST PAGE OF C, RIGHT BEFORE D, THE HOTEL WAS

REFERENCED WAS WAY AT THE FAR NORTHWEST CORNER OF -- A BLOCK

OR SO NORTH OF KNIGHT'S RUN AVENUE, AS FAR AS I CAN SEE,

SOUTH OF KNIGHT'S RUN AVENUE THERE IS DEVELOPMENT ALL




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

MANISCALCO, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION?

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

AND CARLSON BEING ABSENT.

20:33:43 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
WE WILL BE TAKING A TEN-MINUTE BREAK.

WE WILL BE BACK AT 8:45.

[ RECESS ]

[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.




IF I MAY, COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, YOU MADE A STATEMENT EARLIER

THE NEXT TWO ITEMS WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HEAR ON OUR AGENDA

ITEMS NUMBER 4 AND 5 WERE REQUESTED TO BE HEARD TOGETHER.

IS THERE ANY MEMBER OF THIS COUNCIL THAT OBJECTS TO THAT?

[ LAUGHTER ]

20:48:14 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
HEAR THEM TOGETHER, WALK OUT.

TAKE THESE TWO TOGETHER, AND I SAID JUST TEN MINUTES AGO

THAT IF THEY WERE TOGETHER, I AM NOT GOING TO VOTE UNLESS

THE PETITIONER SAYS THEY ARE GOING TO LISTEN TOGETHER AND I

NOT GOING TO HAVE TO VOTE TWICE.

IF I HAVE TO VOTE TWICE I'M STEPPING UP BECAUSE MY WORD IS

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

MEAN BY VOTING TWICE?

BECAUSE WE HAVE IN THE PAST, COUNCIL HAS IN THE PAST TAKEN

VACATING ALLEYWAYS AND RIGHTS-OF-WAY.

YOU HAVE TAKEN THEM TOGETHER.

CERTAINLY YOU CAN HEAR THEM SEPARATELY, IF THAT'S COUNCIL'S

WISH.

BUT WHEN YOU SAY VOTE TWICE, I DIDN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND.

20:49:14 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
WELL, HERE IS THE THING.

THE LAST ONE WAS PRESENTED TO US AS WE ARE GOING TO HAVE ONE

VOTE ON TWO ITEMS.

THEN AFTER THAT, THEY DIDN'T LIKE, I GUESS, I DON'T KNOW, 2

AND 3.




20:49:31 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
WELL, YOU HEARD THEM TOGETHER BUT YOU HAD

TO VOTE SEPARATELY.

20:49:35 >>CATE WELLS:
FOR THE RECORD, MY APOLOGIES.

COUNCIL UNDERSTOOD WHEN WE OPENED TWO ITEMS TOGETHER THAT

THERE WAS GOING TO BE ONE VOTE.

THE INTENT WAS THE OPPOSITE, THAT THERE WOULD BE ONE

PRESENTATION ADDRESSING BOTH APPLICATIONS UNDER ITEM -- THE

TWO SEPARATE ITEMS AND THEN WE HAVE TO HAVE TO TAKE TWO

SEPARATE VOTES IN THE ORDER THAT THEY SHOW ON THE AGENDA.

BUT MY UNDERSTANDING, AND MR. HUDSON WOULD ALSO LIKE ITEMS 4

AND 5 TO BE HEARD TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY ARE RELATED AND

IMPACT EACH OTHER.

ONE IS THE VACATING PETITION, AND THE OTHER IS THE REZONING

PETITION.

IF COUNCIL WERE TO INCLINED TO OPEN ITEMS 4 AND 5 TOGETHER

AND ALLOW ONE PRESENTATION COMBINED TO ADDRESS THOSE ITEMS,

WE WOULD ASK COUNCIL TO TAKE TWO SEPARATE MOTIONS.

FIRST WOULD BE A MOTION ON ITEM 4 WHICH IS THE VACATING

PETITION, WHICH WOULD HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED PRIOR IN HALL OF

FAME TO THE REZONING PETITION UNDER ITEM 5.

SO MY APOLOGIES IF THERE WAS CONFUSION ON THE PREVIOUS ONE.

20:50:43 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I'M THE ONE WHO SAID IT.

ALL RIGHT.

20:50:49 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
I GO BACK TO MY ORIGINAL QUESTION.

DOES ANY MEMBER OF THIS COUNCIL HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO




HEARING ITEMS NUMBER 4 AND 5 HEARD TOGETHER?

20:50:58 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I AM NOT OBJECTING TO IT BUT I SAID

SOMETHING AND IF I SAID SOMETHING I WANT TO DO IT, SO I WILL

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

COUNCIL --

20:51:17 >> I'M OLD SCHOOL.

WHAT I SAY, I DO.

PERIOD.

I GOT HIT IN THE HEAD MANY TIMES WHERE I COME FROM.

20:51:24 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THEN MR. HUDSON, EXCUSE ME.

I WOULD PREFER THAT WE HEAR ITEMS 4 AND 5 SEPARATELY.

20:51:37 >>TYLER HUDSON:
THAT'S FINE.

GIVEN THE NUMBER OF FOLKS ON THE DAIS WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE

ANY MORE, SO WE WILL PROCEED SEPARATELY THERE.

MIGHT BE A LITTLE OVERLAP BUT IT WILL BE A LITTLE SLOWER

BEING SEPARATE, BUT WE WILL PROCEED SEPARATELY.

20:51:50 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
WE HAVE GOT ALL NIGHT.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

ALL RIGHT THEN.

THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM NUMBER 4, FILE VAC

22-04.

WHICH STAFF IS GOING FIRST?

20:52:07 >>RON WIGGINTON:
I WILL BE.

RON WIGGINGTON, LEGAL DEPARTMENT. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.




ITEM NUMBER 4 IS THE VACATING APPLICATION.

I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND COUNCIL THAT IT HAS BROAD DISCRETION

IN ORDER TO APPROVE OR DENY THE REQUEST.

THAT YOU CONSIDER IN MAKING SUCH A DETERMINATION TO INCLUDE

WHETHER VACATING WILL ALLEVIATE THE PUBLIC OF COST OF THE

RIGHT-OF-WAY, A PUBLIC NUISANCE OR CURTAIL CRIMINAL

ACTIVITY, WHETHER IT WILL FOSTER REDEVELOPMENT AND WHETHER

PROPERTY OWNERS ACCESS WILL BE SUBSTANTIALLY DIMINISHED OR

COMPLETELY CUT OFF.

BEFORE THE PRESENTATION I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THERE

IS A PERMANENT PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION EASEMENT RESERVED IN

THE ORDINANCE OVER THE ENTIRE VACATED AREA THAT IS BEING

REQUESTED TO BE VACATED.

THIS TRANSPORTATION EASEMENT MAY ONLY BE RELEASED IF AND

WHEN PETITIONER HAS RECONSTRUCTED OR RECONFIGURED HENDERSON

AVENUE IN SUCH A WAY THAT IS APPROVED BY THE CITY'S MOBILITY

DEPARTMENT SO AS TO AVOID DEAD-END ON HENDERSON AVENUE.

MR. HUDSON IS HERE AND WILL EXPLAIN THE MOTIVATION BEHIND

PROCEEDING WITH THE VACATING REQUEST, WITH THE

TRANSPORTATION EASEMENT RESERVED, BUT BEFORE THAT I WOULD

LIKE TO OPEN THE FLOOR TO MR. SAMMONS.

20:53:18 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MAY I PLEASE, ANYONE THAT IS GOING TO BE

GIVING TESTIMONY TONIGHT IN ANY OF THESE CASES, WOULD YOU

PLEASE STAND TO BE SWORN IN?

THANK YOU.




(OATH ADMINISTERED BY CLERK)

20:53:40 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
HAVE YOU BEEN SWORN IN?

20:53:42 >> YES, SIR.

I WOULD ASK THE CLERK TO SHARE MY SCREEN, PLEASE.

DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION, VAC 22-04, FIRST READING

CONSIDERATION.

IT IS PROPOSED VACATING REQUEST TO VACATE THE ALLEY LYING

SOUTH OF 7th AVENUE, SOUTH OF HENDERSON AVENUE, EAST OF

I-275, WEST OF TALIAFERRO AVENUE, FOR SUBDIVISION OF LYKES

SUBDIVISION AND TWO CITY OF TAMPA RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITIONS.

THE ALLEY WAS WIDENED TO 20 FEET AS A RESULT OF CONDITIONS

OF THE VACATING APPLICATION C-02-26 WHICH VACATED A PORTION

OF HENDERSON AVENUE.

THIS EXPANDED RIGHT-OF-WAY WAS PROVIDED FOR CONNECTION FROM

HENDERSON TO 7th AVENUE, AND TO NOT CREATE A DEAD-END AT

HENDERSON.

THIS ALLEY IS LOCATED IN CENTRAL TAMPA, ALSO AS YOU KNOW,

THE ALLEY IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE REZONING REZ 22-05.

THIS APPLICATION WAS FILED NOVEMBER 16 OF 2021.

THE APPLICANT'S OWN ALL OF THE PROPERTY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE

ALLEY THAT IS REQUESTED TO BE VACATED.

THE APPLICANT'S REASON FOR THE APPLICATION IS AS FOLLOWS:

THE RIGHT-OF-WAY WILL BE UTILIZED AS PART OF A MULTIFAMILY

DEVELOPMENT WHICH ACCESS WHICH WILL BE PROVIDED OTHER

ROADWAY ALTERNATIVES.




THIS ALLEY IS NOT HISTORIC DISTRICT OR OVERLAY DISTRICT.

THERE ARE NO EXISTING CODE VIOLATIONS ON THIS PROPERTY.

THE ALLEY IS APPROXIMATELY 5,200 SQUARE FEET.

IT IS IMPROVED ASPHALT PAVING.

IT IS OPEN AT BOTH ENDS.

THE ALLEY APPEARS TO BE IN USE BY 718 EAST HENDERSON FOR

ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY BY A GATE LOCATED OFF THE EAST SIDE

OF THE ALLEY.

FRONTIER HAS FACILITIES IN THE ALLEY AND HAS REQUESTED AN

OVERALL EASEMENT.

THE ALLEY DOES NOT CONTINUE TO THE SOUTH.

THE ALLEY CONTINUES TO THE NORTH BUT IS NOT IMPROVED ON THE

NORTH SIDE.

THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY IN RED, AND THE RIGHT-OF-WAY,

VACATED IN YELLOW -- REQUESTED TO BE VACATED IN YELLOW.

AGAIN, THE RIGHT-OF-WAY REQUESTED TO BE VACATED.

IT IS IN PINK HERE.

THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY IN GRAY.

THIS IS THE PLATTED PORTION OF THE ALLEY.

THIS IS THE EASTERN 7 FEET OF THE LYKES SUBDIVISION SHOWN

HERE IN RED.

AND HERE ARE THE TWO PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE

ALLEY WHICH IS THE EAST 13 FEET OF THESE TWO LOTS OF OAK

RIDGE SUBDIVISION, WHICH WAS ACQUIRED BY THE CITY OF TAMPA.

HERE IS AN OVERVIEW VIEW OF THE SECTION MAP SHOWING GENERAL




VICINITY OF THE AREA.

THE ALLEY LOOKING NORTH FROM HENDERSON AVENUE.

THE ALLEY LOOKING SOUTH FROM 7th AVENUE.

THE ALLEYWAY AT HENDERSON AVENUE LOOKING SOUTH FROM

HENDERSON AVENUE.

THERE'S NO CONTINUATION OF THE ALLEYWAY.

THE ALLEYWAY AT HENDERSON AVENUE IS A DEAD-END.

PREVIOUSLY A PORTION OF THE AVENUE THAT IS NOW VACATED.

APPLICANT'S PROPERTY LOOKING NORTH FROM HENDERSON AVENUE.

APPLICANT IT PROPERTY LOOKING EAST FROM THE ALLEYWAY, GATED

ACCESS TO THE REAR OF THE PARCEL.

EAST SIDE OF THE ALLEY TO BE VACATED.

LOOKING SOUTH FROM 7th AVENUE, THE WEST SIDE OF THE

ALLEY TO BE VACATED.

LOOKING WEST FROM THE ALLEY TO BE VACATED.

THIS IS THE ALLEY, THE CONTINUATION NORTH FROM 7th

AVENUE.

THE ALLEY IS NOT IMPROVED.

IT IS OPEN.

STAFF OBJECTS TO THIS REQUEST BASED ON OBJECTIONS FROM

TRANSPORTATION, PLANNING, AND TRAFFIC DESIGN.

THE IMPROVED ALLEY WAS MITIGATION FOR THE CLOSURE OF

HENDERSON BOULEVARD.

ALTERNATIVE DESIGN WILL BE NEEDED FOR HENDERSON BOULEVARD.

THE VACATING REQUEST IS APPROVED BY COUNCIL AND OVERALL




EASEMENT PRESERVATION IS REQUIRED FROM TRANSPORTATION, AND

FRONTIER, IF FACILITIES ARE TO BE RELOCATED WILL BE AT THE

APPLICANT'S EXPENSE.

THE APPLICANT MUST COMPLY WITH CHAPTER 27 LANDSCAPING, TREE

REMOVAL AND SITE PLAN.

THE APPLICANT WILL NEED TO WORK WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA REAL

ESTATE DEPARTMENT FOR ACQUIRING CITY OWNED RIGHT-OF-WAY.

20:59:13 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF?

MR. HUDSON?

20:59:28 >>TYLER HUDSON:
DO YOU SEE MY SCREEN?

MY NAME IS TYLER HUDSON, ADDRESS 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.

I RESPECT COUNCIL'S PATIENCE AND FOR THE FELLOW TRAVELERS ON

TONIGHT'S AGENDA.

I AM GOING TO GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT TO YOU.

I AM ONLY GOING TO DO THE RIGHT-OF-WAY ADVOCATING, NOT FOR

THE REZONING.

SO I AM HERE, HAVE A PRIVILEGE OF BEING HERE ON BEHALF OF

LEGACY PARTNERS, THE DEVELOPER OF THIS PROJECT.

THE CONTRACT PURCHASER FOR THIS PARCEL.

AND ALSO HERE WE HAVE FULL TEAM OF EXPERTS FROM THE

KIMLEY-HORN FIRM, CIVIL ENGINEER FOR THIS PROJECT, AS WELL

AS THE ARBORIST AND THE TRANSPORTATION CONSULTANT, AND

FINALLY I BELIEVE ON THE LINE WE HAVE DYNAMIK DESIGN,

ARCHITECT.

THIS IS PART OF THE ENCORE DEVELOPMENT ON THE NORTHERN EDGE




OF THAT GTE HEADQUARTERS.

THERE'S A SINGLE OUTPARCEL OF THAT DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS

ORIGINALLY INTENDED FOR A DAYCARE, AND MY CLIENT NOW ON THE

CONTRACT, THIS IS IN THE CBD PERIPHERY, 2.32 ACRES.

THE ALLEY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW, JUST THE ALLEY NOT

THE REZONING, ACTUALLY CUTS THROUGH HERE THE MIDDLE OF THE

PARCEL.

ZOOMING OUT AGAIN WHERE THE STAR IS, IT'S IN A VERY URBAN

AREA, IN THE URBAN VILLAGE, IN THE CENTRAL PARK CRA, AND

BUFFETED BY A LOT OF HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT THAT MAKES

SENSE GIVEN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION THAT I WILL

NOT TALK ABOUT NOW BUT I WILL TALK ABOUT IN THE REZONING.

AGAIN, I ONLY WANT TO SHARE THIS SLIDE FOR THE PURPOSE OF

AGAIN ARTICULATING THAT THE PROPERTY -- THE ALLEY DOES CUT

THROUGH THE PROPERTY.

THAT IS WHY WE ARE ASKING FOR THIS.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATING IN DETAIL.

AS ROSS RELATED TO YOU THE ALLEY WAS CONSTRUCTED IN

MITIGATION -- AND DISRUPTED BY PUTTING IN INTERSTATE 275 IN.

IT WAS A FAIRLY VIBRANT GRID, CHANGED WITH THE INTERSTATE

CONSTRUCTION, WAND WE ARE TRYING TO DO IN A VERY SMALL WAY

REPAIR A LITTLE BIT OF THAT DAMAGE.

THE AREA IN RED IS OWNED, IS PRIVATELY OWNED BY GTE.

WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING IN A SEPARATE APPLICATION THAT TRACKS

WITH THIS RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATING IS TO GIVE BACK THAT PORTION




OF HENDERSON SO THAT WHILE WE ARE CLOSING THIS ALLEY, WE ARE

GOING TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO REOPEN HENDERSON HERE, GO

UNDERNEATH THE INTERSTATE WHERE IT IS CURRENTLY UNVACATED

AND CONNECT IT INTO CENTRAL AVENUE OF THE.

WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO FACILITATE AN EAST-WEST

CONNECTION THAT RIGHT NOW STOPS AT THIS ALLEY.

HERE WE ARE PROPOSING TO ESSENTIALLY REVERSE THE PATTERN

NOW.

WE ARE GOING TO CLOSE THIS, DEVELOP AROUND THIS, AND THEN

GIVE UP A LOSS OF 16 UNITS ON THE PROJECT, GIVE THIS BACK TO

THE CITY AS A VEHICULAR PEDESTRIAN EASEMENT TO GET FROM

HENDERSON HERE ALL THE WAY UNDER THE INTERSTATE TO CENTRAL

AVENUE.

THAT IS SOMETHING YOU CANNOT DO TODAY.

YOU ARE STOPPED BY A LOT OF WEEDS.

WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE THIS ON HENDERSON ALL

THE WAY UNDER THE INTERSTATE.

ONE THING I WANT TO KNOW AND COUNCIL -- WOULD BE REASONABLE

TO ASK WHY WE ARE TRYING TO VACATE THE ALLEY WHILE ALSO

GETTING A PUBLIC EASEMENT BACK.

THAT DOES NOT MAKE A LOT OF SENSE.

IT'S REALLY JUST ABOUT TIMING.

THE REASON WHY WE ARE GRANTING THAT PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

BACK IS SOLELY FOR THAT TEMPORARY PERIOD BETWEEN WHAT WE

HOPE IS COUNCIL'S APPROVAL TONIGHT AND SECOND READING, WHEN




THAT PERIOD IS DONE AND WHEN WE ARE ABLE TO ACTUALLY PERMIT

THAT NEW EXTENSION OF HENDERSON.

AND THAT MUST BE DONE, THE CITY MUST APPROVE ALL OF THAT,

REALLY THE DEPARTMENT MUST APPROVE THAT, PRIOR TO US GETTING

ANY BUILDING PERMITS AT ALL, THAT HENDERSON EXTENSION THAT I

SPEAKING ABOUT HAS TO BE DESIGNED, APPROVED, BEFORE WE

CAN MAKE OUR FIRST PERMIT FOR ANY VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION.

AND THIS IS IN LINE WITH THE CITY MOBILITY PRIORITIES, A LOT

OF CONVERSATIONS WITH JORGENSEN, RESTORATION OVERALL IS A

GOAL THAT THE CITY HAS.

I DON'T WANT TO PUT WORDS IN ROSS' MOUTH OR CITY STAFF'S

MOUTH.

I THINK THE OBJECTION THAT YOU HEARD IS TECHNICAL IN NATURE,

RIGHT NOW THAT HENDERSON AVENUE EXTENSION DOES NOT EXIST.

HOWEVER, AS I AM SAYING, THAT WILL BE IN PLACE, IT WILL BE

PERMITTED AS PART OF THE VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION FOR THE

APARTMENT PROJECT.

I WOULD ALSO NOTE THAT WE HAD EXTENSIVE CONVERSATIONS WITH

FDOT WHO ARE LIKEWISE SUPPORTIVE OF THIS.

THEY OBVIOUSLY OWN WHAT'S UNDERNEATH THE INTERSTATE, BUT

THAT'S ALREADY VACATED THERE -- I'M SORRY THAT IS STILL

RIGHT-OF-WAY.

THAT IS NOT VACATED.

ZOOMING OUT A LITTLE BIT, WHAT THE HENDERSON IS CLEARED

THROUGH EAST OF NEBRASKA AND THEN ADDED A CONSPICUOUS STOP,




THERE IS AN AREA RIGHT HERE WHERE MOBLEY PARK APARTMENTS

ARE, THERE ARE BUILDINGS ON TOP OF THAT.

TO COMPLETELY RESTORE THE WESTERLY EASTERLY FLOW OF

HENDERSON, MOBLEY PARK APARTMENTS, WHEN THAT REDEVELOPS,

WHICH IT WILL AT SOME POINT, WOULD HAVE TO LIKEWISE GIVE

BACK SOME LAND AT HENDERSON JUST LIKE THIS DEVELOPER IS.

HOWEVER, WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS PROJECT IS WE ARE

ABLE TO, WITHOUT REGARD TO WHAT MOBLEY PARK DOES OR DOES NOT

DO, HOOK INTO CENTRAL AVENUE RIGHT HERE.

SO HENDERSON WOULD CONTINUE WEST, IT WOULD GO UNDER THE

INTERSTATE, WOULD CONNECT RIGHT INTO CENTRAL TO PROVIDE, I

THINK, A MUCH BETTER FLOW, NOT JUST TRAFFIC, BECAUSE THERE

MIGHT NOT BE VEHICULAR TRAFFIC, BUT BICYCLISTS, PEDESTRIANS,

YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GO WEST UP TO CENTRAL, AND IF YOUR END

DESTINATION, IN THE ARMATURE WORKS AREA, YOU HAVE TO DO A

LITTLE LOOP HERE, BUT RIGHT NOW THE CITY HAS A ONE-TIME

OPPORTUNITY TO GET BACK SOME RIGHT-OF-WAY THAT WAS LOST A

LONG TIME AGO.

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

MOBLEY PARK IS GOING TO GIVE UP TO GET STRAIGHT IT THROUGH

TO HENDERSON BOULEVARD?

21:06:19 >>TYLER HUDSON:
I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE FUTURE INTENT OF AN

OWNER WILL BE.




I AM JUST SAYING WE ARE GOING TO GIVE THIS PART OF

HENDERSON -- THERE IS VACATED RIGHT-OF-WAY RIGHT HERE.

HENDERSON WOULD STILL HAVE A GAP.

HOWEVER, HOWEVER, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO TIE HENDERSON HERE

INTO CENTRAL AVENUE.

SO WE ARE NOT CREATING A NEW DEAD-END AT ALL.

YOU WOULD BE EXTENDING HENDERSON INTO NORTH CENTRAL AVENUE

TO FOLKS TO GO NORTH, THEY COULD GO SOUTH, AND A ONE-BLOCK

DETOUR, THEY COULD GET AROUND THE MOBLEY PARK BLOCKAGE OF

HENDERSON.

BUT I WANT TO REITERATE, THIS IS A ONE-TIME -- IT IS UNUSUAL

FOR A PROPERTY OWNER TO GIVE BACK CERTAINLY VACATED

RIGHT-OF-WAY.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HANDLED A CASE LIKE THIS.

IT WON'T BE A PERFECT RECONSIDERATION BUT IT WILL AWFULLY

GOOD, TO ALLOW US TO GET TO CENTRAL AVENUE WHICH WE THINK IS

VERY IMPORTANT FOR RESTORING SOME MODICUM OF COHERENCE IN

THIS PARTICULAR PART OF THE CITY FOR WHICH THE GRID HAS BEEN

FAIRLY INTERRUPTED BY INTERSTATE 275.

AND TO ZOOM IN A LITTLE BIT.

IT'S CONFUSING WITH THE INTERSTATE BEING THERE.

BUT WE PROPOSE CLOSING THIS, UNTIL WE GET OUR PERMITS, OUR

TRANSPORTATION EASEMENT IS GOING TO BE RESERVED.

THE FOLKS WHO USE IT NOW, AND THIS IS MORE APPLICABLE FOR

REZONING, IF THESE TWO PROPERTY OWNERS SUPPORT THE PROJECT




AS A WHOLE.

THE EASEMENT WILL ALLOW FREE FLOW OF THIS ALLEY UNTIL WE

OBTAIN THE PERMITS FOR THIS CONSTRUCTION, AND FOR THE

BUILDING THAT WE ARE GOING TO GET THAT I WILL TALK ABOUT

LATER.

HENDERSON, WE WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP GENERALLY THE SAME WIDTH

OF THE STREETS, AND SIDEWALKS, IT'S GOING TO GO WESTERLY

UNDER THE INTERSTATE, AND THEN CONNECT TO CENTRAL.

IT'S NOT PERFECT, BUT IT'S AWFULLY GOOD AND IT'S A LOT

BETTER THAN WHAT'S THERE NOW, WHICH IS BOLLARDS AND A LOT OF

OVERGROWN WEEDS.

AND WITH THAT I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

21:08:19 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. TYLER?

I HAVE NONE.

MR. TYLER, ARE YOU PROPOSING THAT YOUR CLIENT IS GOING TO

REPAVE AND REDO THIS STREET?

OR ARE YOU JUST PROPOSING THAT YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE UP THE

EASEMENT THAT WAY?

21:08:35 >>TYLER HUDSON:
SO WE ARE GOING TO GIVE THE CITY THE

EASEMENT, SO WE WILL OWN THE LAND, WE WILL GIVE THE CITY AN

EASEMENT, AND YES, WE ARE GOING TO BUILD IT.

WE WILL BE GETTING A PLN, THAT'S THE TYPE OF PERMIT THAT YOU

GET FOR INFRASTRUCTURE.

BLE IS WHAT YOU GET FOR BUILDINGS.




PLNs IS WHAT YOU GET FOR DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHEN A

PRIVATE ENTITY IS IMPROVING.

HARRISON STREET, NEAR THE OLD FLY BAR THAT IS GETTING

PUNCHED THROUGH, THE EXACT SAME PROCESS AS HERE, BUT IT WILL

BE A PRIVATE RESPONSIBILITY BUT WE'LL HAVE TO COMPLY WITH

OVER ONE OF THE CITY REQUIREMENTS.

21:09:11 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
YOU ARE GOING TO REPAVE AND REFINISH THAT

WAY THE WALL TO CENTRAL?

21:09:17 >>TYLER HUDSON:
YES.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THAT FROM THE GENTLEMAN WHO WILL

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.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS?

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?

IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM NUMBER 4?

ANYONE WANTING TO SPEAK TO ITEM NUMBER 4?

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?

AND MR. LETO, ARE YOU THERE?




CAN WE HAVE YOU SWORN IN?

CAN WE HAVE THEM ON OUR SCREENS?

THANK YOU.

MS. STROHMEYER, ARE YOU THERE?

21:10:22 >> I AM HERE.

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

21:10:25 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
YES, BUT I CANNOT SEE YOUR FACE.

21:10:27 >> I'M HERE.

OKAY.

(OATH ADMINISTERED BY CLERK)

21:10:44 >> ALL RIGHT, MS. STROHMEYER.

21:10:50 >> OKAY.

MY NAME IS JEAN STROHMEYER, AND I DIDN'T HEAR ALL OF THE

PRESENTATION, BUT MY -- MY CONCERN ABOUT THIS IS GTE,

FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, NOW WHAT THAT IS, IS ASKING TO VACATE

A PART OF THIS PROPERTY, THAT WE CERTAINLY -- WE -- TO LET

THE CITY CONTINUE TO RENT FROM GTE.

SO, YOU KNOW, JUST THE FACT THAT THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS ON THE

UP AND UP WITH WHAT THE CITY WANTS, THE CITY WANTS THIS, THE

CITY WANTS THAT, THE CITY GETS WHAT THE CITY WANTS, AND

INSTEAD ABOUT THINKING WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT, WE SEE IT FROM

TIME TO TIME IN NEIGHBORHOOD AFTER NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND I JUST FEEL -- THE GUY SAID SNAKE OIL, BUT I FEEL

THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE WOOD PILE, AND IN A WOOD PILE

THERE'S A LOT OF RATS, AND THEY ALSO MENTION IT'S GOING TO




BE THE SAME THING FOR MOBLEY PARK.

AND I JUST LOOKED UP MOBLEY PARK AND GUESS WHAT, THE RENT

STARTS AT $854 A MONTH.

SO THIS EASEMENT IS GOING TO BE THE -- THE TAKEAWAY FROM

AFFORDABLE HOUSING WHICH IS WHAT EVERYBODY IS CLAMORING TO

SAY WE NEED.

SO WITH THAT SAID, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING IN THE

WOOD PILE OR NOT BUT YOU MIGHT THINK ABOUT THAT WHEN YOU

VOTE TO HAVE THE CITY OF TAMPA RENT FROM THIS PROPERTY

INSTEAD OF HAVING A SPACE OF THEIR OWN THAT WE OWN PARTS OF

SO IF GTE IS GOING TO GIVE IT TO THE CITY.

NOTHING IS FOR FREE.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

THANK YOU.

HAVE A GREAT DAY.

21:12:55 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

MR. LETO.

MR. LETO, YOU ARE MUTED.

MR. LETO, PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF.

21:13:11 >> IS THAT IT?

21:13:14 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
YES, SIR.

THANK YOU.

21:13:14 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
OKAY.

JUST FOR THE RECORD, I WANT TO SAY THAT THIS IS HENDERSON

AVENUE, AND NOT HENDERSON BOULEVARD.




WHICH WAS CORRECTED ONCE BY MR. FOWLER.

I AM THE PROPERTY OWNER NEXT TO IT AND I APPROVED THE

CLOSURE OF THE ALLEY ONLY TO BE ABLE TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE

REAR OF THE ALLEY, THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY.

OTHERWISE I HAVE NO WAY TO GET TO THE BACK, WHICH PART OF

THIS WAS AN AGREEMENT TO GIVE ME 20 FEET OF THE ALLEY, WHICH

HAS NOT BEEN STATED HERE YET, BUT THOSE WERE THE CONDITIONS

UNDER WHICH I AGREED TO THE CLOSURE OF THE ALLEY.

THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY.

21:14:05 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. LETO.

IS THERE ANYBODY IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS THAT WANTS TO BE SPEAK

TO ITEM NUMBER 4?

MR. HUDSON, ANY REBUTTAL?

21:14:23 >>TYLER HUDSON:
TYLER HUDSON FOR THE RECORD.

RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE AN ALLEY USED VERY INFREQUENTLY AND A

STREET THAT COULD BE USED QUITE FREQUENTLY BUT DEAD-END.

WE AIM TO REVERSE THAT.

THE CITY WILL BE GAINING FAR MORE THAN IT IS LOSING.

I THINK IT'S FOR A PUBLIC PURPOSE.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

21:14:46 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANY QUESTIONS?

COUNCILMAN GUDES?

21:14:52 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
THE GENTLEMAN MR. LETO MADE A COMMENT AND

I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THAT.




21:15:00 >>TYLER HUDSON:
IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THE RIGHT-OF-WAY

VACATING ORDINANCE REFLECTS EXACTLY WHAT HE'S ASKING FOR.

MR. LETO WAS ONE OF THE SUPPORTERS OF THE PROJECT -- HE'S

THE APPLICANT ON THE APPLICATION.

21:15:16 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO

ADD?

21:15:24 >>RON WIGGINTON:
NOT REALLY.

I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY ARRANGEMENT THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER

HAS WITH THE DEVELOPERS.

THIS IS THE FIRST I HAVE HEARD OF IT.

I WILL SAY THAT ACCORDING TO THE CASE LAW, JUST BECAUSE YOU

MAY REMOVE THE MOST CONVENIENT ACCESS DOESN'T MEAN IT

RESULTS IN A TAKING, BUT IT HAS TO BE SUBSTANTIAL, OR

OUTRIGHT ELIMINATION OF ACCESS.

AND IF HE HAS ACCESS TO THE FRONT, HE MAY NOT HAVE ACCESS TO

THE REAR, IT DOESN'T VIOLATE ANY CASE LAW OR STATUTE OR

ORDINANCE.

21:15:56 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

21:15:59 >> MY NAME IS RYAN COLMER, LEGACY PARTNERS. WE DO HAVE AN

ADJACENT WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER, MR. LETO, THAT WOULD DEED

BACK A PORTION OF THE ALLEY.

21:16:14 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS?

MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO TO CLOSE.

SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.




ALL IN FAVOR?

ANY OPPOSED?

THANK YOU.

I WAS GOING TO ASK COUNCILMAN VIERA.

21:17:49 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
AGENDA NUMBER 5, FILE REZ-22-05.

21:18:05 >>ANNIE BARNES:
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.

ITEM NUMBER 5 IS REZ 22-05.

SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 623 EAST 7TH AVENUE.

THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM RM-24 AND PD TO

PD.

I WILL TURN OVER THE PRESENTATION TO JENNIFER MALONE WITH

PLANNING COMMISSION AND AFTER HER PRESENTATION I WILL

CONCLUDE MINE.

21:18:26 >>JENNIFER MALONE:
PLANNING COMMISSION.

MAY I HAVE PERMISSION TO SHARE MY SCREEN?

I WILL SHOW YOU THE PowerPoint.

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

DISTRICT WITHIN THE CENTRAL PARK URBAN VILLAGE, IT'S NOT

LOCATED IN EVACUATION ZONE, AND THERE IS TRANSIT WITHIN

PROXIMITY OF THE INTERSECTION OF EAST HENDERSON AVENUE AND

NORTH NEBRASKA AVENUE.




I DO NEED TO MAKE A CORRECTION FOR THE RECORD.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT INCORRECTLY HAD THE ADDRESS

711 EAST HENDERSON AVENUE.

THAT REPORT IS WRONG, AND I WOULD LIKE TO CORRECT THAT FOR

THE RECORD.

THAT ADDRESS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS APPLICATION.

HERE AT THE EAST HENDERSON AVENUE, THE INTERSTATE TO THE

WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE, THE BANK BUILDING TO THE SOUTH, IN

THIS AREA WHICH IS NORTH OF DOWNTOWN, AND FUTURE LAND USE

MAP, URBAN MIXED USE 60, NOT AS INTENSE AS RMU 100, IT'S

LIKE ONE STEP DOWN, SO IT IS FAIRLY INTENSIVE.

TO THE EAST IT'S COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 ALONG NEBRASKA

AVENUE.

WE HAVE RM 3, AND TAMPA HEIGHTS WEST OF THE INTERSTATE, AND

FURTHER SOUTH PERRY HARVEY PARK.

SO THE APPLICANT, WHICH IS ENCOURAGED IN THE FUTURE LAND USE

CATEGORY, AND F.A.R. IS 2.48 WHICH IS JUST BELOW THE 2.5,

AND THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT IS ADDRESSING MANY OF THE MIXED

USE CENTERS AND CORRIDORS POLICIES IN THE MIXED USE

STRUCTURE, PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY WITH FOUR ENTRANCES

CONNECTING TO PUBLIC SIDEWALK ON 7TH, WE ALSO FOUND THAT THE

BUILDING ENTRANCES PROVIDED ALONG EAST 7th IS SUPPORTED

BY THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

AND I WILL POINT OUT WE HAVE POLICIES THAT ARE HELPING TO

MEET TAMPA'S GROWING POPULATION, AND WE FOUND IT CONSISTENT




WITH THOSE AS WELL AS THE COMPACT STRATEGY, POLICIES WHICH

PROMOTES HOUSING WITHIN PROXIMITY TO EMPLOYMENT AND TRANSIT,

AND URBAN VILLAGES.

THIS IS IN THE CENTRAL PARK URBAN VILLAGE.

SO IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT PATTERN,

AND ANTICIPATED UNDER THE URBAN MIXED USE 60.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER TO ANNIE.

21:20:52 >>ANNIE BARNES:
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.

MAY I SHARE MY SCREEN?

AGAIN, THIS IS DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION, REQUEST TO REZONE

623 EAST 7TH AVENUE FROM RM-24 AND PD TO PD.

SHOWN HERE ARE THE WAIVERS REQUESTED BY THE APPLICANT.

HERE IS A SURVEY OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

AS WELL AS AN AERIAL MAP OUTLINING THE SUBJECT SITE.

THERE ARE COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL USES IN THE IMMEDIATE

AREA.

SHOWN HERE IS A COMPLETE -- OR PART OF THE COMPLETE SITE

PLAN PACKAGE SHOWING THE OVERALL LAYOUT OF THE SITE.

THE PROPOSED REZONING IS FOR 236 RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNITS

WITH 4600 SQUARE FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL OFFICE COMMERCIAL

USES.

SHOWN HERE ARE THE ELEVATIONS PROVIDED FROM THE APPLICANT.

SO THIS IS A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY AS YOU SAW EARLIER IN

MR. SAMMONS' PRESENTATION WHERE IT DEAD-ENDS CURRENTLY.




AND THIS IS THE INTERSECTION OF HENDERSON AND TALIAFERRO.

AS WELL AS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY DIRECTLY SOUTH AND EAST OF

THE SUBJECT SITE.

AND THIS IS EARLIER SHOWN IN THE PROPOSED VACATING.

AS WELL AS PROPERTY NORTH ALONG 7th AVENUE.

AND AGAIN THE PROPERTY SHOWN FROM 7th AVENUE.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW -- STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE PETITION AND

FINDS THE REQUEST INCONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA LAND

DEVELOPMENT -- LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.

PLEASE REFER TO DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION, TRANSPORTATION,

AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMENTS FOR OVERALL INCONSISTENCY

FINDING.

SHOULD COUNCIL GRANT THE REQUESTED WAIVERS BASED ON THE

WAIVER JUSTIFICATION PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT, FURTHER

MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN MUST BE COMPLETED IN BETWEEN

FIRST AND SECOND READING OF THE ORDINANCE AS STATED ON THE

REVISION SHEET.

ADDITIONALLY, THAT NOTE SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE SITE PLAN

APPROVING THAT ALL DEVELOPMENT SHALL BE CONSISTENT WITH

CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH VAC 22-04, AND THE RELEASE OF

EASEMENT FOR THE VACATED PORTION OF HENDERSON MUST BE

COMPLETED PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF THE FIRST BUILDING PERMIT.

ADDITIONALLY, THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

ADDITIONALLY, ERIN MAEHR WITH NATURAL RESOURCES TO LIKE TO

GO ON THE RECORD STATING SOMETHING.




21:23:53 >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.

PERMISSION TO SHARE MY SCREEN?

AND CAN YOU SEE THE SITE PLAN?

21:24:09 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
NOT YET.

YES, NOW.

21:24:14 >> ERIN MAEHR:
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION REPRESENTING

NATURAL RESOURCES AND IF IT IS THE PLEASURE OF CITY COUNCIL

TO APPROVE 22-05 I MUST STATE ON THE RECORD ACCORDING TO

27-284.2.4 THAT TWO OFF-SITE TREES DO NOT MEET CONDITION

CRITERIA.

THEY ARE RIGHT HERE, TREE 36 AND TREE 35.

TREE NUMBERS.

AND EVEN WITH A NEIGHBOR AFFIDAVIT, THESE TREES WILL BE

SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED BY THE PROPOSED SIX-PLUS-STORY

BUILDING FIVE FEET FROM THE HOUSE OF THESE TREES.

THESE TREES ARE PROTECTED AND SPECIMEN TREES AND NOT ONLY

WILL THE ROOT IMPACTS OCCUR BUT ALSO CANOPY IMPACTS DUE TO

CLEARANCE, PRUNING FOR THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE.

BUFFER TO THE SOUTH IN THIS LOCATION ACCORDING TO

27-284.3.3-A IS REQUIRED TO BE 15 FEET.

HOWEVER, A WAIVER IS BEING REQUESTED TO REDUCE THIS BUFFER

TO 5 FEET.

AND WITH THAT 15-FOOT BUFFER, THESE TREES WOULD NOT BE

IMPACTED AS OFF-SITE TREES ARE NOT TO BE IMPACTED BY

CONSTRUCTION.




AND THAT'S IT.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME, I AM HERE.

21:25:32 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANY QUESTIONS?

ANY QUESTIONS FOR ANY STAFF?

THANK YOU.

21:25:39 >>TYLER HUDSON:
400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE FOR THE RECORD.

DO YOU SEE MY SCREEN?

21:25:56 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
YES, SIR.

21:25:57 >>TYLER HUDSON:
AS PROMISED, I WILL SKIP THROUGH.

I WILL REORIENT WHERE WE ARE, HENDERSON AND 7th JUST

WEST OF TALIAFERRO, EAST OF THE INTERSTATE, TO WALK THROUGH

THE CONFIGURATION AND HOW THIS ACTUALLY WORKS.

THIS IS A MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT WITH SOME PROPOSED

STOREFRONT RETAIL USES ALONG 7th AVENUE.

BECAUSE THIS IS RIGHT ALONG THE -- THE BORDERS OF THE

INTERSTATE AND THE ALLEY DIVIDING IT, IT'S A LITTLE

INITIALLY SHAPED PARCEL.

IT'S HARD TO FIND PERFECT SQUARES IN URBAN CORE THESE DAYS.

FIVE TO SIX STORIES ON SCREEN.

IT MIGHT SEEM A LITTLE CONFUSING.

GENERALLY THE PROPORTION ARE FIVE STORIES INTERNAL DO IT

PROJECT IS A GARAGE THAT DOES POP UP TO SIX STORIES ON THE

TOP OF WHICH THERE'S A ROOFTOP AMENITY WHERE THE POOL WOULD

GO.

ENTERING RIGHT OFF HERE OFF OF 7th AVENUE.




HENDERSON, WHICH COUNCIL IS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO APPROVE, THE

ALLEY VACATING WHICH REQUIRES US TO OPEN HENDERSON BACK UP,

ACTUALLY ACCESS THE SITE, THAT WOULD BE THROUGH FARE, ABOUT

4,000 SQUARE FEET WOULD GO RIGHT HERE, AND STOREFRONT

RESIDENTIAL IS WHAT IT'S CALLED IN THE CODE, BUT IT'S REALLY

STOREFRONT USE THAT ALLOWS ALL GROUPS WHICH ARE GENERALLY

COMMERCIAL, STOREFRONT RESIDENTIAL TO SORT OF LOOK LIKE THE

GROUND FLOOR RETAIL YOU SEE WITH RETAIL, RESIDENTIAL ON TOP,

AND FIRST FLOOR ACTIVATION, IT WOULD BE PRIVATE WITH A

LEASING OFFICE, AMENITIES.

WE COVERED THAT IN DETAIL.

THE PLAN AS JENNIFER ALLUDED TO, THIS IS THE SECOND HIGHEST

NONCE CATEGORY FROM A DENSITY PERSPECTIVE, AND BUILDINGS

SITUATED SITED AT OR NEAR THE SIDEWALK.

WE DO HAVE MINIMAL SETBACKS.

WE ACCOMMODATE THAT NEW HENDERSON EXTENSION, IT'S GOING TO

BE RELATIVELY TIGHT.

IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE IT WOULD IN THE CITY.

THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A HUGE AMOUNT OF SPACE BETWEEN THE

SIDEWALK AND THE FACE OF THE BUILDING BUT IN AN URBAN

ENVIRONMENT LIKE THIS, WE BELIEVE THAT IS HIGHLY

APPROPRIATE.

IT'S ACTUALLY WHAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANTICIPATES ON A

PIECE OF LAND LIKE THIS.

PLANNING COMMISSION AS JENNIFER ALLUDED TO FOUND THIS




CONSISTENT.

I THINK THEIR EXPERT STAFF REPORT WAS COMPLETE WITH VARIOUS

POLICIES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE COMPACT DENSE

DEVELOPMENT LIKE THIS PROPOSES.

SEVERAL REVIEWING AGENCIES DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT.

OF COURSE, SOME DID NOT, AND THE AGENCY THAT DID NOT FIND

THIS CONSISTENT, WE ARE PROPOSING WAIVERS FROM THE TECHNICAL

COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

IN THE RECORD THERE ARE PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL WAIVERS, AND I

WILL SUMMARIZE THEM BRIEFLY RIGHT NOW.

I BELIEVE THIS IS IN THE REVISION SHEET OF THE ONE WAIVER,

AND ANNIE CAN CORRECT ME HERE, SET OUT IN THE STAFF REPORT

WAS COMMERCIAL ACCESS TO A LOCAL STREET WHICH COUNCIL HEARS

AN AWFUL LOT.

THAT'S ACTUALLY NOT GOING TO BE A WAIVER IN THIS CASE

BECAUSE SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF WE ARE FORTUNATE

ENOUGH TO HAVE COUNCIL'S APPROVAL OF THIS THAT WAIVER IS NOT

SOMETHING WE NEED AND WE'LL REMOVE THAT BETWEEN FIRST AND

SECOND READING.

ON BUFFERING, AS COUNCIL KNOWS, PDS AFFORD THE DEVELOPER AN

OPPORTUNITY TO ESTABLISH SETBACKS, WAIVERS FROM SETBACKS.

BUT THE CODE DOES REQUIRE BUFFERING SPACES BETWEEN DIFFERENT

TYPES OF RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL, AND IN THIS CASE THE

CODE REQUIRES A 15-FAT EAST TO EAST BUFFER, AND A 6-FOOT

MASONRY WALL WHICH WE THINK IS A LITTLE PUNITIVE AND NOT




CONSISTENT WITH THE URBAN NATURE OF THIS PROJECT SO WE ARE

PROPOSING TO REDUCE THAT TO 5.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT CREATES WHAT WE CALL SYMMETRY, BUT THE

NEXT FOUR EVEN AMOUNT OF SETBACK AROUND THE EASTERN EDGE OF

THE BUILDING.

I WOULD NOTE THAT THE FOLKS WHO ARE MOST AFFECTED BY THIS

BUFFER, AND YOU WILL HAVE A MULTIFAMILY BUILDING A LITTLE

CLOSER THAN THE CODE WERE REQUIRE, ARE BOTH SUPPORTIVE OF

THAT.

THE E-MAILS ARE IN THE RECORD BEFORE YOU.

ON LOADING, NOT SURE I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF BRINGING

THAT BEFORE THIS COUNCIL OR ANY OF ITS ITERATION BUT DOES

NOT HAVE A LOADING WAIVER.

THE CODES IN THE CITY OF TAMPA REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT

OF LOADING BERTHS, AND THEY ARE SOMETIMES INAPPROPRIATE.

LEGACY PARTNERS, A NAME THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT IN A LITTLE

BIT, IS A VERY PROLIFIC MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPER, ARE VERY

CONFIDENT THAT THIS SINGLE LOADING BERTH WILL BE ABLE TO

ACCOMMODATE MOVE IN AND MOVE OUT.

THIS IS NOT AN AMAZON FULFILLMENT CENTER.

IT'S MOSTLY GOING TO HAVE LARGE TRUCKS COMING IN AND OUT,

URBAN APARTMENTS AND FOLKS MOVING IN AND OUT WITH U-HAUL.

WHILE THIS DOES NOT COUNT AS A LOADING AREA AT ALL, THIS

AREA IN GREEN, THERE ARE PARALLEL PARKING SPACES THAT WOULD

GIVE ABILITY FOR MANAGEMENT TO PUT OUT A CONE ON THE RARE




OCCASION THAT PERHAPS THERE'S TWO LOADING TRUCKS TRYING TO

COME IN AT THE SAME TIME, BUT THE LOADING BERTHS ARE A VERY

IMPORTANT SPACE AND WE ARE VERY CONFIDENT THAT THE ONE WILL

SATISFY.

I WOULD NOTE IN THE WESTSHORE OVERLAY DISTRICT, THAT ENTIRE

AREA HAS A LIMIT OF ONE LOADING BERTH WITH A LOT BIGGER

BUILDINGS OUT THERE AND THEY ARE SURVIVING WITH ONE.

WE BELIEVE ONE IS GOING TO BE JUSTIFIED HERE.

THE OTHER WAIVER IS ONE THAT AGAIN, I DON'T THINK I HAVE

EVER NOT BROUGHT AN URBAN PROJECT, WHICH IS TO ALLOW LOADING

TO OCCUR IN MORE THAN ONE CONTINUOUS MANEUVER, AN EXAMPLE OF

THE COMMERCIAL DRIVER'S LICENSE SCHOOL, YOU CAN LOAD IN ONE

CONTINUOUS LOAD, YOU HAVE AN ABSOLUTE OCEAN OF PARKING.

THIS IS AN URBAN DEVELOPMENT.

THERE'S NO WAY TO LOAD THE SITE IN ONE -- WE DON'T BELIEVE

THAT POSES A PROBLEM AT ALL TO THE SAFETY OF THE RESIDENTS

OR TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROJECT.

ON TREES, I AM GOING TO TALK BRIEFLY, KIMLEY-HORN A

CERTIFIED ARBORIST IS ON THE LINE.

THE RED DOT HERE IS THE ONE NONHAZARDOUS GRAND OAK.

WE DID TRY TO RECONFIGURE, IT DIDN'T WORK.

IT WOULD ESSENTIALLY RENDER THE PARKING AREA AS A SURFACE

PARKING LOT WHICH WOULD BE AN ABYSMAL USE OF SPACE IN THE

URBAN CORE LIKE THIS, WOULD SEVERELY CUT IT TO THE POINT

THAT I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE




COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

BUT THEY CAN TALK MORE ABOUT THAT.

WE ARE ABLE TO SAVE A SIGNIFICANT CLUSTER OF TREES ALONG THE

WESTERN EDGE.

THE OTHER WAIVER IS, THE CODE REQUIRES YOU TO KEEP 50% OF

THE TREES ON-SITE.

IF YOU ARE DOWNTOWN IN THE CBD, AS YOU EXPECT, THERE ISN'T

SUCH A REQUIREMENT.

THIS IS AWFULLY CLOSE TO THE CBD, AND IT'S MUCH CLOSER THAN

HALFWAY TO THE CBD AND ALMOST HALFWAY, BUT WE ARE KEEPING

21%, WHICH I WOULD SAY IS A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN NORMAL FOR

A SITE THAT HAS BEEN UNDEVELOPED FOR SO LONG, AND THIS CLOSE

TO THE URBAN CORE.

YOU CAN SEE HERE THE LOCATION OF SOME OF THE TREES.

THESE AREN'T GRAND TREES.

THE LOCATION OF THEM YOU CAN SEE REALLY WOULD JUST PREVENT

ANY REASONABLE DEVELOPMENT CONFIGURATION BASED ON WHERE THEY

WERE, BUT WE DID TRY REASONABLE CONFIGURATIONS TO TRY TO

ACCOMMODATE RETENTION AND TRY TO ACCOMMODATE THE ONE GRAND

TREE.

WITH THAT, NAEEM.

21:33:32 >> NAEEM COLEMAN, LEGACY PARTNERS.

LEGACY PARTNERS, OUR FIRM HAS BEEN AROUND FOR 54 YEARS.

WE ARE BASED IN CALIFORNIA, JUST OUTSIDE OF SAN FRANCISCO.

HIGHLIGHTED ON THE SCREENS ARE ALL THE MARKS.




THE LEGACY ENCORE PROJECT A FEW BLOCKS AWAY, VERY SUCCESSFUL

PROJECT, ONE OF OUR FIRST ONES IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.

WE LOVED IT SO MUCH WE WANTED TO COME BACK AND DO ANOTHER

ONE.

WE FEEL THAT THE ENCORE DEVELOPMENT HAS REALLY ENERGIZED AND

BROUGHT THE NEIGHBORHOOD FORWARD, AND WE ARE LOOKING FOR

PROPERTY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO BE ABLE TO COME TO TOGETHER

AND WE DID HAVE A SUCCESSFUL PROJECT.

21:34:23 >>TYLER HUDSON:
AND IN TERMS OF THE DESIGN, OVERVIEW RIGHT

THERE, PEOPLE ENJOYING THE POOL.

I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

THANK YOU.

21:34:43 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. HUDSON?

SEEING NONE, IS THERE ANYONE IN THE ROOM THAT WOULD LIKE TO

MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM NUMBER 5?

21:34:54 >> MY NAME IS CARROLL ANN BENNETT, A LIFE-LONG RESIDENT OF

TAMPA.

THIS CLIMATE CRISIS IS REAL.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE CAN DO IS TO

PRESERVE OUR TREE CANOPY.

THE REQUIRED TO PRESERVE 50%.

THEY WANT TO PRESERVE 21%. TO ME, WHAT'S JUST AS BAD OR

WORSE IS THAT THERE ARE TREES THAT ARE OFF-SITE THAT DO NOT

BELONG TO THEM, THAT THEY ARE GOING TO ADVERSELY IMPACT.




YOU HEARD THE EXPERTS SAY THAT IT'S GOING TO BE TWO-THIRDS

CLOSER TO THE TREES THAN IT SHOULD BE, AND THOSE TREES ARE

PROBABLY GOING TO DIE.

IT'S BAD ENOUGH WHEN THEY KILL TREES ON-SITE.

BUT NOW THEY ARE GOING TO KILL TREES OFF-SITE.

I HAVE SEEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN MIRACLES HAPPEN.

ALL OF A SUDDEN WE CAN FIGURE OUT A WAY TO RECONFIGURE

THINGS AND WE CAN SAVE THE TREES.

I BELIEVE THAT CAN HAPPEN IN THIS CASE.

I THINK THEY CAN DO BETTER.

I THINK THE CITY OF TAMPA NEEDS TO INSIST ON A LITTLE ITS

BETTER.

THANK YOU.

21:36:03 >> NATHAN HAGAN.

I THINK IT'S A COOL PROJECT.

I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT IT DIDN'T FIND SUFFICIENT INCENTIVE

FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR PEOPLE.

THE CODE DOESN'T CREATE THAT INCENTIVE.

BUT THE CODE DOES CREATE INCENTIVE FOR AFFORDABLE PARKING OF

CARS.

I KNOW CITY COUNCIL SHOULD NOT BE NEGOTIATING WITH

DEVELOPERS ON THINGS FROM THE DAIS HERE.

MY UNDERSTANDING THAT'S NOT REALLY THE POINT OF THIS

MEETING.

BUT I WILL SAY CITY COUNCIL HAS THE POWER TO MAKE ORDINANCES




THAT WILL MAKE PROJECTS LIKE THIS COME TO YOU WITH THESE

TYPES OF THINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, SO THIS IS

A GOOD PROJECT, ENVIRONMENT, HOUSING FOR PEOPLE.

I WOULD LOVE FOR THIS COUNCIL TO HAVE ORDINANCES IN PLACE

ALREADY THAT MAKE IT SO THAT THEY HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING

AND FOR PEOPLE INSTEAD OF FOR CARS.

THAT'S MY COMMENT.

21:37:08 >> GOOD EVENING.

I'M NOT USED TO COMING HERE AT NIGHT ANY MORE.

MY NAME IS STEPHANIE POYNOR AND I AM JUST CURIOUS IF THERE'S

ANY AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THIS DEVELOPMENT.

400 UNITS IN THE LOCATION THAT IT'S IN, THERE SHOULD BE

WORKFORCE, THERE SHOULD BE AFFORDABLE.

IT'S ON A TRANSIT LINE, JUST A COUPLE BLOCKS AWAY FROM

THERE.

I WOULDN'T HAVE ANY CLUE WHAT WHERE THIS WAS IF I HADN'T

BEEN TO THE MAYOR'S NEIGHBORHOOD UNIVERSITY AND VISITED THE

GTE BUILDING.

SO I AM JUST CURIOUS AS TO WHY WE HAVE GOT ALL THESE WAIVERS

THAT WE HAVE, NO AFFORDABLE OR WORKFORCE.

THANK YOU.

HAVE A GOOD DAY.

21:37:49 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
DO WE STILL HAVE MS. STROHMEYER AND MR.

LETO ON THE LINE?

MS. STROHMEYER, WE ARE WAITING FOR YOUR CAMERA TO COME UP.




21:38:11 >> OH, OH, MY GOSH, I GOT TO UPDATE THE CAMERA.

ARE YOU THERE?

21:38:22 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
YES, MS. STROHMEYER, PLEASE.

21:38:24 >> HI.

WELL, AS STEPHANIE WAS SAYING AND WHAT I SAID BEFORE, YOU

SEE THAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT IS THERE, AND I DON'T KNOW

IF IT'S THE GATEWAY TO SHUT THAT DOWN, BUT I BELIEVE IT IS.

I DO LIKE OPENING UP THAT STREET.

THE CITY IS THE ONE THAT CLOSED THAT STREET DOWN.

I REMEMBER AT SOME POINT WE USED TO DRIVE THROUGH THERE,

UNLESS I AM WRONG, BUT I AM PRETTY SURE I AM NOT.

THEN THEY CLOSED IT DOWN FOR -- IT WAS BIZARRE TO ME WHY

THEY CLOSED THAT DOWN. ANYWAY, YEAH, GET AFFORDABLE HOUSING

THERE.

JUST ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS.

IF THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE BACKGROUND GOING ON WITH

ADMINISTRATION, I ALWAYS THINK THERE IS, AND I THINK I AM

NOT THE ONLY ONE, SO IT'S YOU ALL'S DUTY TO BE ASK THOSE

QUESTIONS AND TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS ON THE UP AND

UP.

THANK YOU.

TALK TO YOU IN A BIT.

21:39:27 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

MR. LETO.

21:39:28 >> YES, SIR.




I HAVE NO FURTHER COMMENTS.

21:39:31 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

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.

CENSUS BUREAU SAYS THAT 40,000 PEOPLE MOVED TO THE CITY LAST

YEAR.

THAT'S OVER 100 A DAY.

AND THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS TO THE

AFFORDABILITY PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE IN THE CITY.

BUT THE CHIEF ONE AMONG THEM IS TO BUILD MORE HOUSING.

AND WE HAVE HEARD FROM SOME OF THE FOLKS IN PUBLIC COMMENTS

THAT THERE'S AN AVERSION TO DENSITY IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE

CITY.

CERTAIN PARTS OF THE CITY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT HAVING DENSITY

IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE AREAS.

THIS IS AN AREA I DON'T BELIEVE ANY OF THE FOLKS YOU HEARD

FROM IN PUBLIC COMMENT LIVE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE GREATEST SHARE OF GROWTH TO

AREAS EXACTLY LIKE THIS.

AND HAVING SUPPLIES TO THE HOUSING PIPELINE OF THE CITY,

THIS WILL BE OF CRITICAL IMPORTANCE.

AND I WOULD ASK HIM TO SHARE ABOUT THIS AS WELL.




21:40:45 >> THANK YOU.

NAEEM COLEMAN, LEGACY PARTNERS.

THIS IS NOT A POORLY DESIGNED PROJECT.

WE DO OFFER AN ARRAY OF HOUSING GOING FROM STUDIOS TO LARGE

BEDROOMS THAT WILL IMPACT AND DESIGNATED FOR DIFFERENT

INCOME.

IT'S NOT AFFORDABLE IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE BUT IT DOES

ALLOW PEOPLE AT DIFFERENT INCOMES TO CHOOSE THEIR OWN UNIT.

BACK TO THE COMMENT ABOUT 20,000 PEOPLE MOVING HERE A YEAR,

IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE NEXT YEAR, THE YEAR AFTER THAT, THE

YEAR AFTER THAT.

BASED UPON WHAT WE HAVE SEEN WE ARE NOT BUILDING ENOUGH

HOUSING TO MEET THE DEMAND OF PEOPLE.

SO THAT'S PART OF THE REASON I AM HERE TONIGHT, TO SEE A LOT

OF GROWTH HAPPENING IN TAMPA, WE SEE AN UNDERSUPPLY OF

HOUSING WHETHER IT'S SINGLE-FAMILY, TOWNHOMES, FLATS,

MULTIFAMILY, HIGH-RISE, ALL OF THE ABOVE.

SO WE ARE TRYING TO DO OUR PART TO BUILD SOME HOUSING.

WE THINK IT'S A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND AS MENTIONED TODAY WE ARE BUILDING DOWN THE STREET RIGHT

NOW, BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL,

THANK YOU.

21:41:55 >>TYLER HUDSON:
AND LIKE TO LEAVE ONE FOLLOW-UP, COUNCIL.

WE TALK ABOUT AFFORDABILITY.

THAT'S HOUSING, HOW MUCH YOU PAY FOR RENT, BUT ALSO




TRANSPORTATION, HOW MUCH ARE YOU PAYING TO KEEP A CAR.

THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY FEW PIECES OF LAND IN THE CITY OF

TAMPA WHERE YBOR, TAMPA HEIGHTS, DOWNTOWN, CHANNEL DISTRICT,

WALKABLE, BIKEABLE.

THIS HAS ACCESS TO STREETCAR AND HART ROUTE JUST A FEW

BLOCKS AWAY, THE HIGHEST FREQUENCY ROUTES THAT HART HAS.

IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT THING I THINK TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN WE

TALK ABOUT BROADENING THE RANGE OF PEOPLE.

THANK YOU.

21:42:36 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.

21:42:39 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIRMAN.

I AM NOT HERE TO SPEAK AGAINST THE PLAN, BUT WHAT I WOULD

LIKE TO SEE IS MORE COMPATIBILITY WITH NATURE, AND MORE

COMPATIBILITY WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO

LIVE.

THEY DON'T HAVE ONE.

I THINK THIS MORNING WE HAD CONVERSATION WITH MANY -- AND I

NOT TALKING ABOUT YOUR CASE.

LET ME GET THAT -- WHO RENT WENT UP 4 OR 500, 400 DOLLARS AT

LEAST, ON A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEY CAN'T AFFORD IT.

AND IN THE PAST, THIS COUNCIL ON SOME PROJECTS, NOT ALL OF

THEM, WE HAVE ASKED THE DEVELOPER TO PUT SOME TYPE --

SOMETIMES IT'S 5%.

I THINK THERE WAS ONE WITH 10% NOT TOO LONG AGO IF I RECALL.

AND THIS ONE HAS NONE.




AND ALTHOUGH WE ARE LIVING IN AN AREA OF PROSPERITY, WE ARE

ALSO LIVING IN AN AREA WHERE PROSPERITY HAS TAKEN OVER THE

PEOPLE WHO CAN'T AFFORD WHERE THEY LIVE.

AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S RIGHT.

ALL OF US HAVE TO LIVE TOGETHER TO MAKE NOT ONLY THIS CITY

BUT THIS COUNTRY WHAT IT IS, TO WHAT IT WAS.

IT'S CHANGING REAL RAPIDLY.

TALKING ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT, I SEE NOTHING HERE THAT'S

GOING TO SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT ONE DROP OF WATER.

NOTHING HERE THAT'S GOING TO SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT ANY

ELECTRICAL COSTS.

THERE'S NO SHOULDER.

THERE'S NOTHING THAT'S GOING TO DO SOMETHING FOR SOCIETY.

AND IF PEOPLE CAN DO IT, SO CAN YOU, SIR.

I AM NOT HERE TO LECTURE YOU.

I AM NOT YOUR PARENT.

I LIKE YOU.

I HAVEN'T MET YOU.

BUT YOU SEEM TO BE A REAL REASONABLE INDIVIDUAL.

ESPECIALLY IN CALIFORNIA, AND NEW MEXICO, THEY HAVE HAD MORE

FIRES THAN THEY HAD BEFORE.

YOU DIDN'T START THEM, NEITHER DID I.

IN ESSENCE WE ALL STARTED THEM BECAUSE WE ALL ABUSE NATURE.

AND NATURE CAN'T TAKE IT NO MORE.

NATURE HAS GOT TO COME AROUND AND SAY, I NEED A BREAK.




AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE GOT TO DO.

WE HAVE TO GIVE A BREAK TO NATURE.

WITHOUT DOING THAT, WE KEEP DOING WHAT WE ARE DOING.

AUTOMOBILES ARE ELECTRIC.

HOWEVER WHEN YOU CHARGE THEM UP, WHERE DO YOU GET

ELECTRICITY FROM?

THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS.

HOWEVER, I THINK THERE WILL BE CARS IN THE YEARS THAT USE

NOTHING BUT WATER.

I AM NOT A GENERAL USE.

I'M NOT AN EINSTEIN.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO COMB MY HAIR.

WHAT I AM TRYING TO TELL YOU IS WE HAVE GOT TO SEE SOMETHING

DONE FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST FOR SOMEONE.

THANK YOU.

21:45:31 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.

21:45:37 >>LYNN HURTAK:
CAN YOU TELL ME HOW MANY UNITS THIS

DEVELOPMENT HAS AND HOW MANY PARKING SPACES?

21:45:43 >>TYLER HUDSON:
THE UNIT COUNT IS 269, AND I BELIEVE THE

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.

SORRY.

21:46:05 >>LYNN HURTAK:
SO 237 UNITS -- 236 UNITS, AND 396 PARKING

SPACES.




THANK YOU.

I WOULD ADD, EXACTLY WHAT THE CODE REQUIRES.

21:46:28 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY QUESTION FOR YOU,

IF YOU HAD A QUESTION OF STAFF AS TO WHAT THE CODE REQUIRED.

21:46:33 >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES, YES, YES.

SO I -- YES.

SO THAT IS THE AMOUNT THAT CODE REQUIRES?

21:46:39 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
WELL, THAT'S A QUESTION YOU CAN CERTAINLY

ASK THE PETITIONER, BUT YOU CAN ALSO ASK THE STAFF.

21:46:45 >>TYLER HUDSON:
THAT'S CORRECT.

UNLIKE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS, FOR EXAMPLE, WHERE THE CODE HAS

PROVISIONS FOR OFF-SITE PARKING, BICYCLES AND THINGS LIKE

THAT, THIS IS PART OF THE CITY BEING BLOCKS FROM DOWNTOWN

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

ATTENTION, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, AND COUNCIL, I UNDERSTAND,

HAS CERTAIN POSITIONS AND GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS, BUT WITH

REGARD TO PARTICULAR REZONINGS, MY SUGGESTION, COUNCIL --

AND MY RECOMMENDATION, MY STRONG RECOMMENDATION IS THAT IF

THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE PARTICULAR SITE PLAN, RELATIVE TO

THE ISSUES OF THE WAIVERS, OR THE ISSUES OF THE CRITERIA

THAT YOU FOCUS ON THAT, BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE THE

APPROPRIATE WAY TO BE ABLE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THIS IS

COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA, AND ALSO WHETHER THIS

PROJECT MEETS THE CODE CRITERIA ITSELF.




SO I AM JUST ASKING COUNCIL TO BE MINDFUL AS TO MAKING

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.

I WAS JUST CURIOUS BECAUSE YOU TALKED ABOUT TRANSIT AND I

HADN'T HEARD ABOUT EITHER PARKING OR UNIT COUNT.

21:48:25 >> UNDERSTOOD.

THANK YOU.

21:48:27 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
NOT DIRECTING TO YOU SPECIFICALLY BUT JUST

TO THE CONVERSATION GENERALLY.

21:48:33 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
MOVE TO CLOSE.

21:48:35 >>JOSEPH CITRO:

ITEM NUMBER 6 IS REZ 22-13.

THIS REQUEST IS TO REZONE 4204 AND 4202 NORTH 15th

STREET FROM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO SEMINOLE HEIGHTS

RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY.

I WILL TURN OVER THE PRESENTATION TO JENNIFER MALONE WITH

PLANNING COMMISSION, AND AFTER HER PRESENTATION I WILL

CONCLUDE MINE.

THANK YOU.

21:53:14 >>JENNIFER MALONE:

AND I ASK PERMISSION TO SHARE MY SCREEN, PLEASE.

THANK YOU.

SO AS ANNIE ALREADY STATED, THIS IS REZ 22-13, IN THE

CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT AND THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS

URBAN VILLAGE.

IT'S NOT IN AN EVACUATION ZONE.

500 FEET NORTH TO THE SITE AT THE INTERSECTION OF NORTH

15th AND CHELSEA STREET.

YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THAT INTERSECTION ON THE AERIAL.




IT'S OUTLINED IN PURPLE, PRETTY MUCH SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED

IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.

THIS IS KIND OF EAST NORTH BAY STREET AND NORTH 15th

STREETS.

HERE IS THE AERIAL OF THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP OF THE SUBJECT

SITE, RESIDENTIAL 10, THE ORANGE COLOR ON THE MAP IS

SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED.

TO THE SOUTH AND A LITTLE BIT TO THE NORTH IS RESIDENTIAL

20.

IN THAT RED IS COMMERCIAL 35 WHICH IS WHERE OUR COMMERCIAL

USES ARE LOCATED.

THIS IS A PRETTY SIMPLE REQUEST, JUST ASKING FOR -- SEMINOLE

HEIGHTS RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL 10 FUTURE

LAND USE DESIGNATION SO WE DID NOT FIND THERE WOULD BE ANY

IMPACT TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD AND FOUND IT WOULD BE

COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE ALONG 15th STREET, AND THE

ITEM NUMBER 7.

FILE REZ 22-17.

MS. BARNES.

21:59:07 >>ANNIE BARNES:
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.

ITEM NUMBER 7 IS REZ 22-17.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO REZONE 4201 EAST 12th

AVENUE FROM CG TO CI.

I WILL TURN OVER THE PRESENTATION TO JENNIFER MALONE WITH

THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THEN I WILL COME BACK.

21:59:28 >>JENNIFER MALONE:
PLANNING COMMISSION.

I AM GOING TO ASK PERMISSION TO SHARE MY SCREEN.

I APPRECIATE THAT.




SO THERE WE GO.

WE ARE AT 2217, CENTRAL PLANNING DISTRICT, THERE'S TRANSIT

AWAY FROM THE SITE AT NORTH 43rd AVENUE STREET.

HERE IS SUBJECT SITE OFF OF NORTH 43th STREET, SOUTH OF

INTERSTATE I-4.

WE HAVE COMMERCIAL LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TYPE USES DIRECTLY TO

THE WEST OF THE SPECIFIC SITE, A LITTLE FURTHER TO THE EAST

AND THEN SOUTHEAST A LOT OF WAREHOUSING IN THE AREA, BUT

THERE IS SOME SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENTIAL ALONG EAST

11th AVENUE TO THE SOUTH.

THE LAND USE IS COMMUNICATE COMMERCIAL 35, COMMERCIAL

INTENSIVE TYPE USES.

TO THE NORTH IS THE INDUSTRIAL LAND USE CATEGORY, AND THEN

TO THE WEST THE PINKISH COLOR IS TRANSITIONAL USE 24 WHICH

IS ONE STEP ABOVE, A LITTLE BIT MORE INTENSIVE THAN THE

COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35 IN THE RED, THE SUBJECT SITE IS IN.

DUE TO THE DIVERSE RANGE OF USES WITHIN A HALF MILE OF THE

PROJECT SITE INCLUDING LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND TO OTHER

COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE USES, WE DID FIND THAT THIS DISTRICT

WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THIS SITE PROVIDED THAT ANY

NON-ESSENTIAL DEVELOPMENT EXISTING RESIDENCES IN THE SITE

AND ANY DEVELOPMENT WOULD FOLLOW THE CODE.

THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOES REQUIRE COMMERCIAL USES

TO BE APPROPRIATELY BUFFERED FROM RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT

AND KIND OF REFERS BACK TO THE CODE IN THE POLICY. IN




CONCLUSION WE DID FIND THIS WOULD ALLOW FOR DEVELOPMENT THAT

IS CONSISTENT WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA, AND THE DEVELOPMENT

PATTERN ANTICIPATED WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.

I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER TO ANNIE.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU.

FURTHER SOUTH, MIXED USE 35, COMMERCIAL USE LOCATIONS.




WE DID FIND THAT THE PROPOSED REZONING BEFORE YOU TODAY

WOULD ALLOW FOR BETTER UTILIZATION OF LAND AND HOUSING

OPPORTUNITY AND IT WOULD BE FURTHER TO THE DENSITY THAT WE

HAVE UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL 20 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.

THIS WILL NOT ALTER THE CHARACTER OF THE SURROUNDING AREA

22:12:50 >> THIS IS REZ 22-18, IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING

DISTRICT.

IN THE SOHO NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT'S LEVEL C EVACUATION ZONE.

180 FEET TO THE NORTH.

THERE'S A VARIETY OF HOUSING TYPES IN THIS AREA WHICH IS

SOUTH OF --

THERE'S A LOT OF SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED ALONG SOUTH MELVILLE

AVENUE, AND NORTH HYDE PARK TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE SUBJECT

SITE.

THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED TOWNHOUSE TYPE

DEVELOPMENT, A MIXTURE OF HOUSING TYPES, AND THEN OF COURSE

WE ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THE COMMERCE USES ALONG PLATT

STREET.

THE SUBJECT SITE FUTURE LAND USE IS RESIDENTIAL 5, TO THE

SOUTHEAST OF THE SITE, IN IS RS-60, WHERE NORTH HYDE PARK IS

LOCATED, ALONG PLATT STREET IS THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE --

[~AUDIO DROP~]

THAT WOULD BE ABOUT 14 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE WHICH IS

CONSISTENT WITH THAT LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THE

RESIDENTIAL 35 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.

THE PROPOSED DENSITY SUPPORTS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BY

ALLOWING A VARIETY OF DIVERSITY HOUSING TYPES FOR TAMPA'S

GROWING POPULATION.

WE ALSO FOUND THAT THE TWO-UNIT PORTION OF THE SUBJECT SITE




PROVIDES A FRONT DOOR FOR EACH DWELLING UNIT AND CONNECTION

TO THE SIDEWALK ALONG SOUTH MELVILLE AVENUE WHICH IS

CONSISTENT WITH TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND POLICY 9.2.6.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

SURROUNDING ZONING, PRIMARILY RESIDENTIAL IN USE.

THIS IS A PORTION OF THE PD SITE PLAN THAT WAS SUBMITTED.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TWO RESIDENTIAL SEMI-DETACHED

A TOTAL OF 4 DWELLING UNITS.

THESE ARE ELEVATIONS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT, AND THIS IS

THE EXISTING STRUCTURE, AND THAT WILL REMAIN AS PART OF THE

I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

22:16:31 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?

PETITIONER?

22:16:38 >> CAMPO, I HAVE BEEN SWORN.

THIS PARTICULAR APPLICATION AS ANNIE MENTIONED, THERE'S TWO

EXISTING STRUCTURES THAT WOULD REMAIN, SO REALLY WHAT'S

BEING PROPOSED IS THE TWO UNITS ATTACHED.

AS FAR AS THE ONE INCONSISTENCY THAT'S TRANSPORTATION AT THE

BACK OF THE ALLEY.

THE OTHER TWO WAIVERS THAT WE ARE ASKING FOR HAVE TO DO WITH

HAVING THE EXISTING STRUCTURES REMAIN.

SO I BELIEVE IT'S PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD BUT I'M AVAILABLE

FLORIDA AND MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1 FROM

ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION RM-16 RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY

TO PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, RESIDENTIAL, SINGLE-FAMILY

DETACHED, AND RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI-DETACHED,

PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

THE PROPOSED REZONING BALANCES THE NEEDS SENSITIVE TO THE

AREA OF DETACHED UNITS IN SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD, ALSO

RECOGNIZING THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL HOUSING OPTIONS WITHIN

THE RESIDENTIAL 35 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION, CONSISTENT

IT WITH LAND USE POLICIES 1.26, 1.2.1-A, 2.1.1, 2.1.2 AND




9.3. WILL.

THE DENSITY PROPOSED OF THIS DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT EXCEED THE

DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY AND

IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT

PATTERN ANTICIPATED THROUGH THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, ALSO I

FIND IT IN COMPLIANCE WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION

27-136, FOR DEVELOPMENT AS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN,

ENCOURAGES DEVELOPMENT THAT IS APPROPRIATE IN LOCATION,

CHARACTER AND COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING

NEIGHBORHOOD, PROPOSED USE PROMOTES THE EFFICIENT

SUSTAINABLE USE OF LAND AND STRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE AND ANY

ITEM NUMBER 11 IS REZ 22-27, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED

AT 2303 NORTH OLA AVENUE AND 211 WEST PARK AVENUE.

THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM RM-24 TO PD FOR

RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED USES.

I WILL TURN OVER THE PRESENTATION TO JENNIFER MALONE OF

PLANNING COMMISSION.

22:20:44 >>JENNIFER MALONE:
PLANNING COMMISSION.

22-27 IS STILL IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT WITHIN

TAMPA HEIGHTS URBAN VILLAGE, NOT WITHIN AN EVACUATION ZONE.

THE SUBJECT SITE IS AT THE CORNER OF WEST PARK AVENUE AND




NORTH OLA AVENUE.

THE SURROUNDING AREA IS PRETTY MUCH A LOT OF RESIDENTIAL

WITH A LOT OF RESIDENTIAL TO THE SOUTH, WHICH IS REFLECTED

ON FUTURE LAND USE MAP, AND POINT OUT THAT THIS IS THE

ROBERT GARDNER PARK, WHICH IS THE RECREATIONAL OPEN SPACE

WHICH CAME BEFORE THIS COUNCIL, PART OF AN ONGOING PARKS

PLANNING UPDATE.

SO THE SUBJECT SITE IS RESIDENTIAL 35.

RECREATIONAL OPEN SPACE TO THE EAST.

AND THEN TO THE NORTH IS COMMUNITY MIX MIXED USE 35.

AGAIN, WE FOUND MANY OF THESE POLICIES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE

PLAN AS RELATES TO HOUSING FOR THE CITY'S POPULATION BUT

ALSO FOUND THAT IT WOULD BE DEVELOPED TO THE EXISTING BLOCK

AND LOT CONFIGURATION AND THE PLAN SUPPORTS THE VEHICULAR

ACCESS WHICH IS GOING TO BE PROVIDED FROM THE ALLEY TO THE

EAST, POLICIES THAT ENCOURAGE THAT.

WE ALSO FIND THAT VEHICULAR ALLEY ACCESS TO THE SITE WILL

HELP PRESERVE THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AND STREETSCAPE WITH

PEDESTRIANS, IS CONSISTENT WITH THE STRATEGY WHICH

ENCOURAGES IN-FILL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN PROXIMITY TO THE

TRANSIT AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES AND DIRECTS THE GROWTH TO

IF ANYBODY THAT HASN'T BEEN SWORN IN THAT'S IN THIS ROOM,

PLEASE RISE TO BE SWORN IN.

THANK YOU.

MR. MECHANIK.

22:24:30 >>DAVID MECHANIK:
GOOD EVENING.

I WILL TRY TO BE BRIEF.

WE HAVE A FINDING OF CONSISTENCY IN THE STAFF REPORT.

BUT LET ME INTRODUCE MY CLIENT, WHICH I NEGLECTED TO DO.

JAMES RAMOS IS HERE WITH ME VIRTUALLY AND RANDY COEN OUR

PLANNER IS HERE.

22:24:52 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
I APOLOGIZE ONE LAST TIME.

IS MR. RAMOS GOING TO BE GIVING ANY KIND OF TESTIMONY?

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.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

22:25:09 >>DAVID MECHANIK:
WE HAVE A FINDING OF CONSISTENCY FROM BOTH




CITY AND PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.

WE FOR THE RECORD AGREE WITH ALL THE REVISIONS BEING

PROPOSED BY THE STAFF.

I HAVE JUST ONE HOUSEKEEPING ITEM, AND I WOULD LIKE TO JUST

NOTE FOR THE RECORD, THE TAMPA HEIGHTS CIVIC ASSOCIATION

SENT AN E-MAIL AND IS IN THE QUASI BOX WHICH OFFERS ITS

SUPPORT FOR THE ZONING APPLICATION, AND WE WORKED QUITE

EXTENSIVELY WITH THEM MAKING SOME CHANGES AT THEIR REQUEST,

AND ONE OF MY HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS IS WE HAVE ONE MORE CHANGE

WHICH THEY HAVE REQUESTED THAT JUST DIDN'T MAKE IT ONTO OUR

SITE PLAN, AND I WILL STATE THIS AND THEN HAND IT OUT, IS A

REDUCTION OF THE SOUTH PORCH SETBACK FROM 4.5 FEET TO 2.5

FEET TO PERMIT A WRAPAROUND PORCH, WHICH THE CIVIC

ASSOCIATION REQUESTED THAT WE DO HAVE.

WITH THAT VERY BRIEFLY I WILL ASK RANDY COEN TO WALK YOU

THROUGH THE SITE PLAN AND WE WILL BE VERY BRIEF.

22:26:45 >>RANDY COEN:
4121 WEST CYPRESS STREET.

I HAVE BEEN SWORN.

I AM GOING TO USE THE ELMO RATHER QUICKLY.

TONIGHT WE HAVE A PROJECT THAT IS A VERY TRADITIONAL

TOWNHOUSE PROJECT ENDORSED BY THE TAMPA HEIGHTS CIVIC

ASSOCIATION.

IT CONSISTS OF SIX SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED DWELLING UNITS.

HERE ARE THE ELEVATIONS.

THIS IS THE FRONT ELEVATION.




YOU CAN SEE THE PORCHES.

THIS IS THE BACK ELEVATION WHICH WE WILL TALK A LITTLE MORE

WITH THE FINAL REQUEST MR. MECHANIK TALKED ABOUT.

THIS IS THE REAR.

ALL THE PARKING IS SERVICED BY AN ALLEYWAY AND THIS IS THE

OTHER ELEVATION ON THE NORTH SIDE.

NOW I WILL GO TO THIS WHICH MAKES THESE A LITTLE CLEARER.

LET ME SEE IF WE CAN GET THAT -- PERFECT.

AGAIN, WE HAVE THE SIX DWELLING UNITS.

WE HAVE FRONT PORCHES THAT ALL FACE OLA.

SIDEWALKS CONNECTING TO THE PUBLIC SIDEWALK IN THE AREA.

ALLEYWAY IN THE REAR WITH ALL OF THE PARKING IN THE REAR.

ALL OF THESE PORCHES BEING ONE ADDITIONAL REQUEST THAT WAS

MADE BY THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION, TO LEAVE THE BUILDING WHERE

IT IS WITH A 7-FOOT SETBACK BUT SIMPLY TO DECREASE THE

SETBACK FOR THE PORCH FROM 4.5 FEET TO 2.5 FEET SO THERE

COULD BE A MEANINGFUL WRAP AROUND PORCH PROVIDED.

WITH THAT SMALLER SETBACK, THE PORCH IS STILL 17-PLUS FEET

AWAY FROM THE ROADWAY ITSELF SO IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AT

ALL.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, THOUGHT IT JUST BROUGHT THE

PROJECT MORE INTO CONVERSATION AND PROVIDED A LITTLE NICER

WALKING ENVIRONMENT AROUND THE PROJECT.

WITH THAT HELP TO -- HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT

HAVE.




22:28:44 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE PETITIONER?

22:28:49 >>DAVID MECHANIK:

22:28:58 >>CATE WELLS:
FOR THE RECORD, I THINK THAT WAS THE INTENT

OF THE APPLICANT.

22:29:10 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

22:29:11 >>CATE WELLS:
BUT I THINK STAFF NEEDS TO CONFIRM THAT THIS

DOESN'T IMPACT THE SITE PLAN AND THAT IT'S JUST A NOTE TO BE

ADDED TO THE SITE PLAN.

22:29:19 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MS. WELLS.

IS THERE ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT

THIS?

ANY PUBLIC COMMENT?

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.

MR. CHAIRMAN.

BUT WE WOULD -- AND THIS WAS A CHANGE AND WE APPRECIATE YOU

INCORPORATING THAT.

22:29:49 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
IF WE COULD JUST ASK MS. BARNES TO CONFIRM

THE TIMING OF THIS AND WHETHER THIS REQUIRES A CHANGE OR

JUST A SIMPLE NOTE AND WE COULD JUST BE DONE BETWEEN FIRST

AND SECOND READING JUST TO BE CLEAR.




22:30:02 >>ANNIE BARNES:
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.

SO THIS NEEDS TO BE CHANGED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND

READING.

I DID CONFIRM WITH JONATHAN SCOTT IN TRANSPORTATION THAT

THIS DOESN'T CAUSE A SITE VISIBILITY TRIANGLE ISSUE.

22:30:19 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
AND IT DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY ADDITIONAL

TIME.

IT'S JUST A NOTE AND NO OTHER CHANGES TO THE SITE PLAN.

IS THAT CORRECT?

22:30:24 >>ANNIE BARNES:
THE SITE PLAN WILL HAVE TO REFLECT THAT TWO

AND A HALF FOOT SETBACK BUT THAT CAN BE A MODIFICATION

BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.

22:30:34 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
UNDERSTOOD.

THANK YOU.

22:30:36 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCILMAN VIERA.

SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.

22:32:26 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

BEFORE WE GO TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 12, AGAIN I NOTICED THERE

WERE FIVE PEOPLE THAT JUST WALKED IN.

WOULD YOU PLEASE RISE TO BE SWORN IN?

DO WE SEE ANYBODY OUT IN THE HALLWAY THAT MIGHT BE OUT

THERE?

SO THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE THE LAST TIME, YES?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 12.

FILE REZ 22-19.

OKAY, EXCUSE ME.

22:33:07 >>ANNIE BARNES:
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.

ITEM NUMBER 12 IS REZ 22-15.

REQUEST TO REZONE THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1102 EAST CURTIS

STREET AND 11 -- I'M SORRY, 1009, 1011 AND 1008 EAST OSBORNE

AVENUE FROM SEMINOLE HEIGHTS RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY

ATTACHED TO SEMINOLE HEIGHTS PD.

I WILL TURN OVER THE PRESENTATION TO JENNIFER MALONE WITH

PLANNING COMMISSION.

22:33:34 >>JENNIFER MALONE:
GOOD EVENING, JENNIFER MALONE AGAIN,

YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION.

22-15 IS IN THE CENTRAL PLANNING DISTRICT IN SEMINOLE




HEIGHTS URBAN VILLAGE.

NOT LOCATED WITHIN ANY EVACUATION ZONE.

HERE IS THE SUBJECT SITE ALONG NORTH OSBORNE AVENUE, AND

12th STREET.

THE SURROUNDING AREA IS PRETTY MUCH HOUSING, DIFFERENT TYPES

OF HOUSING, SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED.

AND THAT'S REFLECTIVE OF WHAT'S ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

THE SURROUNDING AREA IS RESIDENTIAL 10.

THERE'S SOME RESIDENTIAL 20 INCLUDED IN THE SUBJECT SITE

S.MOST OF THE SITE RESIDENTIAL 20, BUT THERE IS A LITTLE

PORTION OF IT OFF EAST OSBORNE AVENUE SO IT HAS TWO FUTURE

LAND USES.

SO WHAT WE DO IN THAT SITUATION IS LOCATED IN AN URBAN

VILLAGE.

LAND USE POLICY 5.1.6 WOULD APPLY, IT ONLY APPLIES IN URBAN

VILLAGES AND ALLOWS THE APPLICANTS TO TAKE KIND OF A BLEND

OF THEIR DENSITY AND THEIR USES AND THEY CAN SPREAD IT

BETWEEN THE SITE FOR APPROVAL OF LAND DEVELOPMENT ZONING.

SO THE APPLICANT IS UTILIZING THAT POLICY BEFORE YOU TODAY.

SO THE OVERALL DENSITY IS A DENSITY OF 17.71 UNITS PER ACRE,

AND CONSISTENT WITH OUR RESIDENTIAL 20 FUTURE LAND USE

DESIGNATION WHICH IS THE MAJORITY OF THE SUBJECT SITE,

AND -- THROUGH THIS AREA OF THE CITY.

WE ALSO FOUND THAT THE DESIGN TO THE EXTENT THAT THE

APPLICANT WAS ABLE PROVIDING DOORS WITH PEDESTRIAN




CONNECTIONS ALSO QUINT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND

FOUND THAT IT PROVIDED A RANGE OF HOUSING TYPES COMPATIBLE

WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA, SUPPORT THE PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC BY

PROVIDING THOSE CONNECTIONS, AND ITS CONSISTENT WITH THE

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WE FOUND NO NEGATIVE IMPACTS TO THE

SURROUNDING AREA.

SO I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER TO ANNIE.

22:35:40 >>ANNIE BARNES:
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.

THIS IS REZ 22-15.

TO REZONE FROM SEMINOLE HEIGHTS RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY

ATTACHED TO SEMINOLE HEIGHTS PD FOR RESIDENTIAL

SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED AND ATTACHED USES.

SHOWN HERE ARE THE REQUESTED WAIVERS.

THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE APPROXIMATELY 118,000 SQUARE FEET

IN SIZE.

THIS IS A SURVEY WITH THE CURRENT BUILDINGS ON THE SITE.

SHOWN HERE IS A MAP OF THE SUBJECT SITE WITH RESIDENTIAL

USES IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA.

THIS IS A PORTION OF THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT

SHOWING RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED AND ATTACHED

PROPOSED USES.

AS WELL AS ELEVATIONS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE SUBJECT SITE CURRENTLY DEVELOPED

WITH A PLACE OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY.

THIS IS A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED NORTH OF OSBORNE.




AND THE SUBJECT SITE ALONG EAST CURTIS.

AND THEN ALONG BETWEEN OSBORNE AND EAST CURTIS ALONG

12th.

AND LOOKING BACK ON EAST CURTIS FROM 12th.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A TOTAL OF 48 RESIDENTIAL

DWELLING UNITS AND 44 ARE SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED, AND FOUR

ARE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED.

THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE

APPLICATION AND FIND THE OVERALL REQUEST INCONSISTENT WITH

THE CITY OF TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

PLEASE REFER TO THE DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION COMMENTS FOR

OVERALL INCONSISTENCY.

MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN MUST BE COMPLETED BY THE

APPLICANT IN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING OF THE

ORDINANCE AS STATED ON THE REVISION SHEET APPROVING THE

APPLICATION.

I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

22:38:04 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?

APPLICANT?

22:38:08 >> GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIRMAN, COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS DAVID MECHANIK.

I AM HERE ON BEHALF OF JACOB EGAN, THE APPLICANT.

I ALSO HAVE WITH ME THIS EVENING JUSTIN GUY OF ONYX, ROTH,

PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER WITH BOLLARD ENGINEERING, MICHAEL

YATES, A PROFESSIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNER, AND ERIN




BARKER, ARCHITECT WHO WILL BE JOINING VIRTUALLY, AND WE

WOULD ASK THAT SHE BE ALLOWED TO SHARE HER SCREEN.

I BELIEVE SHE'S ONLINE RIGHT NOW.

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.

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

ON?

RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

(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

CONSISTENCY LISTED IN THE STAFF REPORT AND EXPLAIN THE

NECESSITY FOR THE WAIVER.

ONE OF THE WAIVERS I WOULD JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT, COUNCIL,

SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, MODIFIED THE ZONING CODE TO ALLOW FOR NOT

HAVE THE REQUIREMENT TO FACE THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY.

WELL, OUR PROJECT IS SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED, WHICH IS THE

SITE PLAN HAS -- WE ARE REQUIRED TO SEEK THE WAIVER BECAUSE

THAT PART OF THE CODE WASN'T CHANGED, AND I AM NOT SURE THE

REASON FOR THAT, BUT THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME.




SO THE WAIVER SHOULD NOT REALLY BE REQUIRED.

WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ASK FOR AN ADDITIONAL REVISION BECAUSE

WE WOULD LIKE TO ELIMINATE ONE OF THE WAIVERS WHICH ARE

LISTED IN YOUR REPORT.

UNDER WAIVER 2, THE SECOND BULLET, INSTEAD OF ASKING FOR A

WAIVER OF THE LENGTH OF THE BUILDING TO EXCEED 200 FEET, WE

ARE ASKING THAT WE BE ABLE TO COMBINE TWO UNITS FROM ONE

BUILDING INTO A SECOND BUILDING, AND WE HAVE ALSO SUBMITTED

THIS TO THE STAFF.

THEY ARE AWARE OF THE REQUEST.

I WILL GO AHEAD AND HAND THIS TO COUNCIL.

I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE SUBJECT TO THE SAME QUESTION ON

THE PRIOR MATTER, BUT THIS HAS BEEN SEEN BY THE STAFF, AND

WE WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE BEING ABLE TO ELIMINATE THE

WAIVER.

AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK ROTH TO WALK YOU THROUGH

THE SITE PLAN AND TO DISCUSS THE WAIVERS.

THANK YOU.

22:42:03 >> GREGORY ROTH WITH FULLER ENGINEER, AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN

IN.

IF WE COULD PULL THE PowerPoint PRESENTATION UP THAT ERIN

HAS.

WHILE YOU PULL THAT I WILL START TO DISCUSS THE SITE PLANS.

THE EXISTING CONDITIONS OF THE PROPERTY IT'S A VACANT CHURCH

ON THE SOUTH AND EAST SIDE, IT'S AN OPEN -- ALONG CURTIS




AVENUE AND IS 12TH STREET, NO SIDEWALKS OR PEDESTRIAN

CONNECTIVITY.

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.

IT'S PRETTIER THAN THIS ONE.

22:43:04 >> HOW ABOUT THAT?

22:43:06 >> ROTH:
EXCELLENT.

THE PROPOSED PROJECT, JUST FOR REFERENCE ON THE SITE PLAN,

IT MEETS THE ALLOWABLE DENSITY, MEETS THE DUA AND GREEN

SPACE REQUIREMENTS.

WE ARE WITHIN THE BUILDING HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS, 35 FEET IS

CONSISTENT WITH THE RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT.

WE EXCEED PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE RESIDENCE AS WELL AS

FOR GUESTS.

A COUPLE NOTES HERE.

WE DID HOLD THREE NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS AND WE TOOK INTO

ACCOUNT INPUT THAT WAS RECEIVED, A COUPLE ITEMS THAT WE

CHANGED ALONG THE WAY FOR THE SIT SITE PLAN, PEDESTRIAN

CONNECTIVITY WAS ONE THAT CAME UP.

WE ADDED SIDEWALKS ALONG CURTIS AND 12th AND WE ARE ALSO

PROPOSING TO IMPROVE THE SIDEWALK ALONG OSBORNE.

WE ARE ALSO COMMITTING TO ADD CROSSWALKS AT THE INTERSECTION




OF OSBORNE AND 12th AS WELL AS CURTIS AND 12th.

WE HAVE CLOSED THE EASTERN DRIVEWAY ALONG OSBORNE, IF YOU

CAN SEE THAT THERE ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE SITE.

WE ORIGINALLY PROPOSED TO HAVE A CONNECTION.

WE REMOVED THAT CONNECTION BASED ON THE INPUT FROM THE

NEIGHBORS, MOSTLY BECAUSE OF PROXIMITY TO 12th.

AND WE REORIENTED THE SITE PLAN IN ORDER TO PROVIDE INTERNAL

CONNECTION SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE MULTIPLE ACCESS POINTS THERE.

WITHIN THE SITE PLAN, THE MAJORITY OF THE DRIVEWAY, THEY ARE

ACCESSING INTERNAL DRIVE AISLES SO THAT WE COULD REDUCE THE

NUMBER OF CURB CUTS AND CONFLICT POINTS TO THE LOCAL PUBLIC

ROADS.

AND EVERYWHERE WHERE THIS PROJECT ABUTS SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS

WE ARE PROPOSING SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS FOR

CONSISTENCY AND COMPATIBILITY WITH THE NEIGHBORS.

THE WAIVERS THAT WE ARE ASKING FOR JUST TO RUN THROUGH THOSE

FROM A SITE PLAN STANDPOINT, THE TREE PRESERVATION, WE

WORKED CLOSELY WITH NATURAL RESOURCES DEPARTMENT OF PROTECT

AS MANY TREES AS WE COMMENT NATURAL RESOURCES FOUND THIS

CONSISTENT.

THERE WERE A COUPLE MORE TREES THAT WE ORIGINALLY WERE

LOOKING TO SAVE BUT AS WE REORIENTED THE SITE BASED ON INPUT

FROM THE NEIGHBORS, THERE WERE A COUPLE OF TREES THAT ENDED

UP HAVING TO GET IMPACTED BECAUSE OF THAT WHICH WERE PART OF

THE PRESERVATION REQUIREMENTS.




WE HAD A WAIVER FOR 19 OF THE 48 UNITS NOT FACING THE

RIGHT-OF-WAY.

MR. MECHANIK HAD MENTIONED THAT IN HIS OPENING, BUT ALSO THE

SITE PLAN THAT WE HAVE BEFORE YOU MAXIMIZES THE AMOUNT OF

UNITS THAT CAN PHYSICALLY FACE THE STREET.

THERE IS JUST NO WAY TO ACHIEVE THE ALLOWABLE DENSITY

WITHOUT AFFECTING INTERNAL UNITS HERE.

WE HAVE A REQUEST TO REDUCE THE MINIMUM 15-FOOT DISTANCE

BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS.

ANOTHER ONE IS THE MATCHING OUT AS MANY UNITS AS WE CAN FACE

THE RIGHT-OF-WAY SO THE ORIENTATION DICTATES THAT WE HAVE A

COUPLE UNITS CLOSER TO EACH OTHER.

THE BUILD-TO LINES ON PARCEL ONE, THE DEPTH OF THE LOT IS

60-FOOT DEEP SO PHYSICALLY THERE WOULD BE ALMOST NO WAY TO

COMPLY.

ON PARCEL 2, THAT'S ANOTHER ORIENTATION THAT AS WE TRY TO

COMPLY WITH THE BUILD-TO LINES, IT'S VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO

ACTUALLY PROVIDE THE BUILD-TO WITH THE NEIGHBORING UNITS

THERE.

AND THEN ONE ITEM, ERIN, IF YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE AND

ZOOM IN, IF YOU COULD.

GO THEY'RE WE GO.

THIS IS WHAT MR. MECHANIK HAD MENTIONED.

WHICH THERE IS A WAIVER, AND IT'S WAIVER NUMBER 2, WHICH

LISTS THE MODIFICATION BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.




WE HAVE MODIFIED THE SITE PLAN AND ARE PROPOSING TO UPDATE

THAT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING TO DETACH ONE OF THE

UNITS SO THAT WE DO NOT EXCEED THE 200-FOOT OF BUILDING.

WE BELIEVE THAT THIS WILL ACTUALLY BENEFIT THE SITE, IF WE

ARE ABLE TO PUT ONE UNIT CLOSER TO THE SINGLE-FAMILY

RESIDENTIAL ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE PARCEL, AND THEN IT WILL

ELIMINATE A WAIVER, AND IT HAS A ONE-UNIT SINGLE-FAMILY ON

THE WEST SIDE AND THEN A 4-UNIT BUILDING WHICH WILL BE LESS

THAN 200 FEET LONG, AND THIS ALLOWS US TO REDUCE THE WAIVER

THAT'S PROPOSED AS WELL AS PROVIDE A BETTER FRONTAGE TO.

AND WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MICHAEL YATES TO

DISCUSS THE TRAFFIC.

22:47:16 >> MICHAEL YATES, WITH BON TRAFFIC.

I HAVE BEEN SWORN.

WHAT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE ON YOUR SCREENS IS THE TRIP

GENERATION COMPARISON WITH THE EXISTING CHART USING ITE.

WHEN WE DID THIS ORIGINAL SUBMITTAL, THERE WAS A NET

DIFFERENCE OF 55 DAILY TRIPS, 7 A.M. PEEK HOUR TRIPS AND

8 P.M. PEAK HOUR TRIPS.

ACTUALLY, THEY CAME OUT WITH THE 11th POSITION AFTER WE

MADE OUR INITIAL FILING AND THAT ACTUALLY SHOWS A NEAT

DECREASE OF DAILY TRIPS, AND THEN A ZERO WASH ON THE A.M.

PEAK HOUR AND A NET INCREASE OF FIVE P.M. TRIPS.

ALSO TO NOTE OSBORNE BASED ON THE LATEST SERVICE TABLES

OPERATES AT LEVEL OF SERVICE C AS IN CAT AND HAS A VOLUME TO




CAPACITY OF .41.

SO THERE IS MORE THAN SUFFICIENT CAPACITY ON THE ADJACENT

ROADWAYS.

I WILL TURN IT OVER TO ERIN TO FINISH UP THE PRESENTATION.

I'M ERIN BARKER WITH DESIGN STUDIO, THE DESIGN DIRECTOR AND

DESIGNER FOR THE PROJECT.

I BELIEVE WE ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH ITS CURRENT STATE OF

DISREPAIR.

WE WORKED VERY HARD TO ACHIEVE A SENSITIVE AND THOUGHTFUL

APPROACH TO THE SITE DEVELOPMENT AND FORWARD THINKING

POSITIVE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY.

AS MENTIONED BEFORE, WE DID MEET THREE TIMES WITH THE CIVIC

ASSOCIATIONS AND ADJUSTED OUR OVERALL SITE PLAN,

ARCHITECTURE AND BUILDING SCALE TO CREATE A SMOOTH

TOPOGRAPHY OF ARCHITECTURE.

THE SCREEN YOU SEE NOW IS THE NORTHWEST CORNER HIGHLIGHTED.

IT'S DESIGNING THE SINGLE-FAMILY TO ITS WEST.

WE ARE PROPOSING THREE SINGLE-FAMILY STRUCTURES WITH

DETACHED GARAGES WHICH ARE ALLEY LOAD.

THE FRONT PORCHES WERE DESIGNED TO HAVE 50% FRONT PORCHES

BUT AT THE SUGGESTION OF ONE OF THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS, WE

HAVE INCREASED THOSE TO FULL WIDTH FRONT PORCHES.

THE EXAMPLE OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY WHICH I BELIEVE YOU SAW ON

EARLIER SLIDES, THE DIFFERENT STYLES AND THE DETACHED

GARAGES TO THE BACK.




AT THE NORTH AND SOUTH PORTIONS OF OUR PROPERTY, THE

WESTERLY STRUCTURE ON EACH ONE IS A SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED

WHICH DESIGNS THE EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED STRUCTURES

IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE BUILDINGS TO THE EAST OF EACH OF THOSE ARE THREE AND

FOUR-FOOT -- EXCUSE ME, THREE AND FOUR ATTACHED

SINGLE-FAMILY TWO STRUCTURE STRUCTURES.

EACH INCLUDE A 50% FACADE WITH A FRONT PORCH, GABLES WHICH

ARE TYPICAL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND FRONT FACING GABLES.

AND THE GARAGES ARE SET BACK AN ADDITIONAL 10 FEET FROM THE

FRONT FACADE.

THESE ARE EXAMPLES OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED AND 3 PLEX

AND 4 PLEX.

TO THE EAST, IN THE CENTER AND EAST OF THE SITE, WE ARE

PROPOSING AT THE EAST SIDE TWO BUILDINGS THAT SIX

SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED, GARAGES FACING THE INTERIOR, FACING

12th, AND FOUR SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS ACROSS 12th.

THESE WERE ORIGINALLY SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED WITH A PITCHED

ROOF, BEGAN AFTER MEETING WITH ONE OF THE CIVIC

ASSOCIATIONS, THERE WAS CONCERN ABOUT THE BUILDING HEIGHT,

AND WE REDESIGNED THE BUILDING TO BE A FLAT DECK ROOF.

AT THE TOP, THE MECHANICAL UNITS WERE THEN MOVED FOR ALL OF

THESE STRUCTURES, ALL OF OUR MECHANICALS HAVE BEEN MOVED TO

THE ROOF, AND AS GREG MENTIONED, WE ARE BELOW THE 35-FOOT

MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT.




THESE ARE EXAMPLES OF THE BUILDINGS FACING OSBORNE AND

INTERIOR TO THE SITE AND FACING 12th.

THIS IS THE APPROACH FROM CURTIS, AND IT DEPICTS THE

SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED AND SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED, AND THE

SCALE OF TWO STORIES.

THIS IS THE APPROACH, SHOWS THE APPROACH TO THE WEST

APPROACH ON OSBORNE WHICH IS SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED AND

SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED ACROSS FROM OUR PROPOSED

SINGLE-FAMILY AND SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED ON OSBORNE.

THIS IS THE INTERIOR VIEW OF THE PARK AND RECREATION AREA,

TWO-STORY AND THREE-STORY STRUCTURES.

I DID WANT TO MENTION THAT THE EXISTING FACE DOES HAVE

PREDOMINANTLY TWO STORY BUT IT DOES HAVE A VERY IS MAUL

SECTION THAT IS A THREE-STORY STRUCTURE.

IN CLOSING, WE FEEL STRONGLY THAT THE PROPOSED NEIGHBORHOOD

CONTRIBUTES TO THE COMMUNITY WITH SINGLE-FAMILY AND

SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED AND FITS THE UNDERLYING ZONING, AND

IS A POSITIVE AND THOUGHTFUL CONTRIBUTION TO THE COMMUNITY.

AND WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER TO DAVE.

22:53:15 >>DAVID MECHANIK:
THANK YOU.

THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION AND WE WILL BE HAPPY TO

ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

22:53:19 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILMAN GUDES?

22:53:21 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
TWO QUESTIONS.

EAST TAMPA DOES HAVE AN OVERLAY.




WAS THAT TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION?

22:53:29 >>DAVID MECHANIK:
YES, SIR.

THE URBAN DESIGN HAD NO OBJECTION TO IT.

22:53:36 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I HEARD HER MENTION SEVERAL TIMES

NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS.

WHICH WERE THOSE?

22:53:51 >>DAVID MECHANIK:
THE -- I'M SORRY.

SOUTHEAST SEMINOLE HEIGHTS, SEMINOLE HEIGHTS ALLIANCE.

22:54:00 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
YOU TALKED TO SOUTHEAST SEMINOLE HEIGHTS.

OKAY.

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?

ANY PUBLIC COMMENT?

PLEASE FORM A LINE, MY LEFT, YOUR RIGHT.

22:54:35 >> MY NAME IS ANN HARTWELL.

I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.

I LIVE AT 11502 EAST GENESEE STREET.

I AM REQUESTING THAT YOU DENY THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT BY

ONYX EAST.

OUR SEMINOLE HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD HAS A VERY DIVERSE

POPULATION.

WE ALSO HAVE SPACE TO WALK OUR DOGS, BIKE IN THE

NEIGHBORHOOD, IT'S A QUIET SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL




NEIGHBORHOOD, BASICALLY 1920 BUNGALOW STYLE HOUSES WITH

FRONT PORCHES.

WE ALL FOLLOW CODE.

WE ARE SET BACK 25 FEET.

WE CAN'T PUT ON CARPORTS OR ADD THINGS BECAUSE THERE'S CODE

THAT WE FOLLOW.

WHAT THIS GROUP IS PROPOSING IS ASKING FOR A TON OF WAIVERS,

A BUNCH OF EXCEPTIONS, THEY DON'T WANT TO BE SET BACK AS FAR

AS EVERYBODY ELSE, THEY ARE ASKING FOR BUILDINGS TO BE 3 AND

4 STORIES TALL, IN A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S SINGLE-FAMILY,

ONE-STORY, ON INDICATION TWO STORY HOUSES.

THEY ARE ASKING -- THEY ARE TELLING US THAT THIS WILL HAVE

NO IMPACT.

I DON'T KNOW, A CHURCH FOR MORE THAN TWO AND A HALF YEARS,

IT'S GOING TO HAVE MORE TRAFFIC THAN THE UNITS, WITH 120

PARKING SPACES.

THAT'S A LITTLE BAFFLING TO ME.

I WALK THIS NEIGHBORHOOD EVERY DAY WITH MY DOG.

ALREADY THERE ARE ISSUES AT THE CORNER OF OSBORNE AND

12th STREET.

IF YOU WILL NOTICE HERE, THIS IS WHERE THE PROPOSED PROJECT

WOULD BE.

THIS IS 12th STREET.

IT DOES NOT GO STRAIGHT THROUGH.

THERE IS A JOG IN THERE WHICH REALLY IMPEDES TRAFFIC AND




CAUSES A LOT OF ACCIDENTS AT THIS POINT.

IT ALSO SLOWS DOWN THE TRAFFIC ON OSBORNE IS ALSO SO STRONG

THAT PEOPLE COME AND THEY GO INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND USE

OUR ROADS AS FEEDER ROADS TO GET ONTO NEBRASKA.

AS YOU WILL SEE HERE, THIS IS WHERE THE 3 AND 4 STORY

BUILDINGS WILL BE.

EVERYTHING AROUND IT IS SINGLE STORY OR TWO-STORY.

IT'S GOING TO SET A PRECEDENT.

THIS IS NOT ON A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE.

THIS IS WITHIN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

WHO WANTS A 4-STORY, SOMEBODY WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK ON THEIR

PATIO INTO EVERYBODY'S BACKYARD.

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

HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.

I WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN BY THANKING THE COUNCIL FOR THE

OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK THIS EVENING REGARDING THE PROPOSED

REZONING OF THE BAPTIST CHURCH.

I AM A RESIDENT OF TAMPA, A HOMEOWNER IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS

AND THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION RELATED TO THIS REZONING IS ON

THE BLOCK IMMEDIATELY OUTSIDE OF MY FRONT DOOR.

I CALL ON CITY COUNCIL TO DENY THE REQUEST FOR THIS

REZONING.

THE CONSTRUCTION PLAN IS CURRENTLY DRAFTED INCLUDES SEVERAL




EXTREMELY PROBLEMATIC COMPONENTS WHICH WOULD IMPACT THOSE

LIVING IN THE SURROUNDING BLOCKS AND ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO

LARGER MORE SYSTEMIC CHALLENGES THE CITY IS COMMITTED TO

ADDRESSING IN THE PAST.

IN SHORT, IF ALLOWED TO MOVE FORWARD THIS CONSTRUCTION WILL

HURT OUR COMMUNITY.

ALL THE ISSUES OF THE CONSTRUCTION CAN BE SUMMARIZED AS

FOLLOWS.

DENSITY, TRAFFIC, AND FOOTPRINT.

EVEN WITH THE CURRENT LEVELS OF DENSITY, SEMINOLE HEIGHTS

HAS SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC ISSUES AND SIDE STREETS WHICH ARE

CHALLENGING TO NAVIGATE ON FOOT.

MANY STREETS IN THE AREA INCLUDING ONE BORDERING THE

PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION HAVE NO SIDEWALKS OR NONETHELESS

HEAVILY USED FOR PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC INCLUDING LOCAL CHILDREN

WALKING TO AND FROM SCHOOL.

OSBORNE IS REGULARLY CONGESTED DURING PEAK AND NONPEAK

HOURS.

ADDING NEARLY 50 SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES IN A TWO AND A HALF

ACRE BLOCK WILL PUT A MORE STRAINED ON AN ALREADY POORLY

CLOUDY AND WINDY LOCAL ROAD STRUCTURE AND ANY TRAFFIC STUDY

INDICATING AN ABANDONED CHURCH HAS THE SAME IMPACT AS THE

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED IF NOT

FRAUDULENT.

ALSO IMPACTING THE TRAFFIC THE BUILDERS HAVE REQUESTED A




VARIANCE TO BUILD IN AS LITTLE AS 5 FEET FROM OSBORNE.

THIS MAY MAKE IT EVEN MORE DANGEROUS AS VISIBILITY WOULD BE

SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIRED.

SIMILAR REQUESTS FOR RELATED TO THIS PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION

ARE SIMILARLY PROBLEMATIC BUT I WAS NOT ALLOWED SUFFICIENT

TIME TO ADDRESS EACH IN DETAIL.

I CHALLENGE THIS COMMITTEE TO CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHAT BE THE

PROPOSED REZONING AND THE CURRENTLY PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION

WHICH WOULD RESULT FROM THE REZONING WOULD IMPACT THE

COMMUNITY OR, RATHER, BENEFIT A CONSTRUCTION COMPANY WHO

WILL LEAVE OUR COMMUNITY SHORTLY AFTER THE FINAL COAT OF

PAINT DRIES.

ALL OF THE LOCAL RESIDENTS WHO I HAVE SPOKEN WITH DO SUPPORT

SOME DIFFERENT USE OF THIS SPACE, BUT WE DO NOT SUPPORT

CHANGING THE NATURE OF OUR COMMUNITY AND THE GRANTING OF

EXCEPTIONS TO BUILDING CODE WHICH WOULD HARM OUR COMMUNITY.

TAMPA AND SEMINOLE HEIGHTS SPECIFICALLY ARE EXPERIENCING

DRAMATIC INCREASES OF PROPERTY VALUES, AND WHILE IT IS

ATTEMPTING TO TAKE THE FIRST OFFER FOR DEVELOPMENT PUT FORTH

BY A MOTIVATED BUILDER WE MUST CONSIDER HOW THE RESULTS OF

THESE DECISIONS WILL IMPACT THE COMMUNITY FOR DECADES TO

COME.

ANY CONSTRUCTION TO THE SITE SHOULD BE DONE UNDER CURRENT

CONSTRUCTION CODES AND CODES ESTABLISHED AND ENFORCED BY

THIS VERY COUNCIL.




ANY CONSTRUCTION TO THIS SITE SHOULD ALSO ADHERE TO CURRENT

ZONING RESTRICTIONS WHICH ARE TO SERVE AND PRESERVE THE

COMMUNITY OF RESIDENTS WHICH CALLS SEMINOLE HEIGHTS HOME.

WHAT WE DO WITH THE QUOTE WITH THE REPORT PREPARED BY YOUR

OWN STAFF THE APPLICANT COULD MEET CODE IF THE SITE WAS

RECONFIGURED OR SMALLER DWELLING UNITS WERE PROPOSED.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[BELL SOUNDS]

23:00:43 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

23:00:43 >> MY NAME IS DANIEL LEWIS.

I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN. I LIVE AT 1205 EAST OSBORNE AVENUE.

I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN TAMPA AND HAVE WATCHED THIS CITY

DEVELOP OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS.

I AM FULLY AWARE OF AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE GROWTH OF OUR CITY

AND WELCOME AFFORDABLE LIVING SPACES THAT WE ARE BUILDING IN

AND AROUND TAMPA.

THERE HAVE BEEN GREAT EFFORTS OVER THE YEARS TO PRESERVE THE

HISTORY IN TAMPA WHILE BUILDING UP AND MODERNIZING CENTRAL

URBAN AREAS.

THIS DEVELOPMENT IS INCONSISTENT WITH THIS THESE PRINCIPALS.

THE FOUR WAIVERS FOR REZONING GIVE NO CONSIDERATION FOR THE

NEIGHBORHOOD THEY WOULD LIKE TO JOIN.

THEY ARE ONLY SUBMITTED TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR THIS

DEVELOPMENT TO MOVE ALONG WITHOUT HAVING TO ADJUST IT INTO

THE NEIGHBORHOOD.




WE AS A NEIGHBORHOOD WELCOME THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS ALONG

NEBRASKA AVENUE AND LOW OF TO SEE THIS CHURCH EITHER THRIVE

OR DEVELOP INTO SOMETHING THAT FITS THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

BUT THIS IS NOT BEING DEVELOPED ON A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE.

IT IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD SURROUNDED

BY SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES AND BUNGALOWS.

BESIDES THE WAIVERS REQUESTED, AND THE INCONSISTENCIES WITH

THE DEVELOPMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH CURRENT ZONING, THIS

DEVELOPMENT WOULD GREATLY INCREASE TRAFFIC ON A ROAD THAT IS

ALREADY PLAGUED WITH CAR ACCIDENTS, NEAR MISSES AND ANIMAL

DEATHS.

THE TRAFFIC REPORT BY PALM TRAFFIC ENGINEERING AND PLANNING

CLAIM THE PROJECT WOULD DECREASE TRAFFIC IN THE AREA.

I HAVE LIVED N AT THE INTERSECTION OF 12th AND OSBORNE

FOR OVER FIVE YEARS AND IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS IS A

FALSIFIED OR AT BEST FLAWED STUDY.

THE LOCATION OF THE STUDY, THE INTERSECTION THAT THEY USE IS

WEST CYPRESS, EAST OF MacDILL AVENUE AS STATED ON PAGE 4

OF THE INTRODUCTION OF THAT REPORT.

ONES PROPOSED IN THE CONSTRUCTION SITE ARE NOWHERE MENTIONED

ON THIS REPORT.

THE CHURCH WILL BE BROUGHT IN ROUGHLY 20 CARS A WEEK DURING

ITS PEAK AND THIS PROJECT WOULD ONLY INCREASE DAILY TRAFFIC

SIGNIFICANTLY.

WITHOUT CONVERSATION TAKEN FOR THE EXISTING TRAFFIC ISSUES,




THIS PROJECT WOULD EXACERBATE A SITUATION UNLESS TRAFFIC

CALMING SOLUTIONS ARE BROUGHT TO THIS CROSS STREET.

BY ALLOWING THIS PROJECT TO PROCEED AS PROPOSED, IT WOULD

CREATE AN UNDUE BURDEN TO LEAVE THE NEIGHBORS AS WELL AS THE

CITY ONCE TRAFFIC ISSUES ARISE.

IT WOULD SET FURTHER PRECEDENT FOR MORE PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS

TO BREAK APART THIS SMALL RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.

PLEASE WE ARE ASKING YOU TO DENY THE WAIVER REQUESTS.

IT IS CLEAR FROM THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN WAIVER REQUESTS

AND DISREGARDS SHOWN TO OUR CONCERNS DURING THE CIVIC

ASSOCIATION MEETING THAT THE DEVELOPERS AND TO QUOTE THE

ZONING STAFF REPORT DO NOT PROMOTE COMPATIBILITY WITH THE

SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD AND FURTHERMORE "DO NOT PROMOTE

ELEMENTS THAT WOULD ENHANCE THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THE

SURROUNDING COMMUNITY."

WE ASK YOU CITY COUNCIL TO IMPLORE THE DEVELOPERS TO FIND A

WAY TO ENTER OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WITHOUT CHANGING THE VERY

HEART OF WHAT MAKES THIS BEAUTIFUL HISTORIC BUNGALOW

NEIGHBORHOOD ESPECIALLY CHARMING.

THANK YOU.

23:03:42 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

23:03:45 >> HELLO.

THANKS FOR HAVING ME.

MY NAME IS CLAIRE AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN A FEW TIMES

TODAY.




IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE REDUNDANT SINCE I LIVE AT THE SAME

ADDRESS BUT I HAVE BEEN IN TAMPA FOR 30 PLUS YEARS AND IN

SEMINOLE HEIGHTS NOR FIVE AND A HALF.

I LIVE AT 1205 EAST OSBORNE DIRECTLY NEXT TO THE CHURCH

PARKING LOT.

I SUPPORT THE GROWTH AND EXPANSION AND AFFORDABLE LIVING IN

OUR CITY.

PETITION REZ 22-15 IS NOT THAT.

AS STATED IN THE CIVIC SOMETHINGS ASSOCIATION MEETING LAST

MONTH.

THIS DEVELOPMENT PLAN PAYS LITTLE TO NO CONSIDERATION TO

STAY WITHIN THE ZONING STANDARD WITH FOUR WAIVERS REQUESTED

FOR REZONING. IF WE ALLOW THE VERY FIRST DEVELOPER TO COME

IN AND THEN WHAT GOOD DOES ZONING DO?

THE MULTILEVEL UNIT WILL HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT SUCH AS

INTERFERING WITH DUE TO THE HATE AND NET INCREASE IN TRAFFIC

RESULTING IN MORE ACCIDENTS, ROAD KILL AND CLOSE CALLS WHICH

ARE REOCCURRING ISSUES.

WE HAVE WITNESSED AT LEAST ONE TO TWO ACCIDENTS PER YEAR

WHERE OSBORNE INTERSECTS WITH 12th.

DESPITE THE STUDY BEING DONE AT ANOTHER LOCATION THREE MILES

AWAY.

THE STUDY IS FLAWED AND OUR TRAFFIC WILL ABSOLUTELY

INCREASE, THEREFORE INCREASING FLOOD ISSUES.

WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE MORE STOP SIGNS AND SPEED BUMPS




PUT IN BUT BOTH HAVE BEEN DECLINED.

WITHOUT A SOLUTION, WITHOUT A SOLUTION IN OUR PREEXISTING

TRAFFIC AND NO WAY WILL THIS DEVELOPMENT BE BENEFICIAL FOR

THE SAFETY OF OUR CURRENT RESIDENT AND PETS, NOT TO MENTION

THE REDUCTION IN TREES FROM 50 BETTERS TO 19% WHEN WE NEED

TO BE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO DOUBLE THE AMOUNT.

IF WE ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN IT WILL ONLY CAUSE A DOMINO

AFFECT GRADUALLY BURYING THE CHARM THAT HAS BEEN SEMINOLE

HEIGHTS.

I AM HOPE THAT YOU VOTE AGAINST THIS TO PRESERVE OUR

CHARACTER AND INCREASE OUR SAFETY.

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.

SO AT THE RISK OF BEING REDUNDANT, I THINK THESE POINTS NEED

TO BE DRIVEN HOME.

MY FAMILY LIVED IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS FOR WELL OVER 30 YEARS.

WE ENJOYED A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH TO LIVE, WORK

AND PLAY IN OUR BEAUTIFUL AND DIVERSE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS WALK HOME SAFELY AFTER SCHOOL EACH DAY

DOWN OSBORNE AND THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD FROM HILLSBOROUGH

HIGH SCHOOL, MIDDLETON HIGH SCHOOL, MEMORIAL MIDDLE SCHOOL,

AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, LET US CONSIDER THE LITTLE




ONES WALKING FROM EDISON ELEMENTARY.

MANY OF THE ELDER RESIDENTS TAKE MORNING WALKS.

I'M A CYCLIST AND I HAVE TO BIKE CAUTIOUSLY DOWN THESE

STREETS AS TRAFFIC IS ALREADY TREACHEROUS AND CONGESTED AS

IT IS.

NEBRASKA AVENUE USED TO BE A 4 LANE ROAD.

IT'S CHANGED TO A TWO LANE ROAD TO ACCOMMODATE CYCLE LISTS

AND MAKE THE AREA SAFER WHICH WAS DEFINITELY A STEP IN THE

RIGHT DIRECTION, ALL OF THE STREETS IN THE VICINITY ARE TWO

LANES NOW.

THE INCREASE IN TRAFFIC IF YOU PASS THIS REZONING PETITION

FOR THIS BUILDING WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE SAFETY OF THE

RESIDENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND A STEP IN THE WRONG

DIRECTION TOWARDS MAKING THE CITY MORE LIVABLE.

SECTION 27-211 OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE SEMINOLE

GREATER HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION, STATES IT IS THE INTENT OF THE

TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND OF THIS ARTICLE WHICH AIDS IN

IMPLEMENTING IT TO PROMOTE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, COMFORT,

ENITIES, PROSPERITY, AND GENERAL WELFARE OF THE CITY, AND

TO PROVIDE AMONG OTHER MATTERS A WHOLESOME SERVICEABLE AND

ATTRACTIVE COMMUNITY TO HELP FOSTER A MORE FAVORABLE

ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH TO LIVE, WORK AND PLAY, TO ENSURE THAT

THERE IS A SEAMLESS INTEGRATION BETWEEN PRIVATE PROPERTY AND

THE PUBLIC REALM, TO REGULATE THE USE, CONSTRUCTION, AND

MAINTENANCE OF THE PUBLIC REALM INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO




STREETS, ALLEYS, SIDEWALKS, STREETLIGHTS, TO REGULATE THE

USE AND DEVELOPMENT OF LAND, PROVIDE REGULATIONS WHICH ALLOW

AND ENCOURAGE CREATIVITY, EFFECTIVENESS AND FLEXIBILITY IN

THE DESIGN AND USE OF LAND WHILE PROMOTING TRAFFIC SAFETY

AND AVOIDING AN ENVIRONMENT THAT ENCOURAGES VISUAL BLIGHT.

THIS BUILDING IN ITS CURRENT PLAN FORM IS THE DIRECT

ANTITHESIS IN THE CURRENT ZONING.

THERE ARE NO BUILDINGS THAT FALL ANYWHERE IN THE AREA.

THIS BUILDING WOULD BE THE EMIT ME OF VISUAL BLIGHT.

IN ADDITION THE PROPOSED ROOFTOP THREE-STORY SITUATION WILL

INFRINGE ON OUR PRIVACY AS NEW TENANTS WILL BE ABLE TO BE

LOOK DOWN INTO OUR YARDS AND HOUSES.

THE APPROACHED BUILDING IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE LANDSCAPE

AND AESTHETICS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT DOES NOT BELONG THERE.

ALSO, AS I UNDERSTAND, NO AFFORDABLE HOUSING WILL BE

INCLUDED IN THESE UNITS.

THEY WILL START AT 600,000.

THIS WILL BRING A NEW ELEMENT INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT

WILL CATALYZE TRANSPORTATION AND BE A DEATH KNELL FOR THE

CULTURAL MAKEUP WE SO CHERISH IN HISTORICAL SEMINOLE

HEIGHTS.

FOR THESE REASONS I ASK AND ADMONISH YOU TO NOT APPROVE THIS

REZONING PETITION.

THANK YOU.




23:09:00 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

23:09:02 >> I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.

RON POWELL, 1008 EAST CURTIS STREET.

I AM A LITTLE MORE THAN PERSONAL BECAUSE THIS BUTTS UP

DIRECTLY TO MY PROPERTY.

I OWN FROM CURTIS TO OSBORNE.

I BOUGHT IN THE 1995 FOR $60,000.

A RUN DOWN BUNGALOW AND BROUGHT IT UP.

BROUGHT THE NEIGHBORHOOD UP.

I THOUGHT DRUG DEALERS.

I FOUGHT PROSTITUTES.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR SHOT.

I BATTLED A SERIAL KILLER.

THIS IS THE WORST THING THAT'S HAPPENED TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD,

OKAY?

YOU ARE CUTTING DOWN 200-YEAR-OLD OAKS SO THEY CAN BUILD A

BUILDING.

MY VIEW WILL CHANGE FROM BEAUTIFUL OAKS TO A 3-STORY

BUILDING.

FIVE FEET OFF MY PROPERTY LINE.

EVERYBODY HERE KNOWS IT.

EVERYONE HERE SEES IT.

EVERYONE HERE GETS IT.

THERE'S NO SIDEWALKS.

THERE'S NO CURBS.




THERE'S BEEN NOTHING PUT IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD UNTIL THE

MAYOR CAME ALONG WITH A SERIAL KILLER AND DECIDED TO PUT

SOME STREETLIGHTS UP.

NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN, CARPET BAGGERS, CARPET BAGGERS, COME

IN, PURCHASE THIS LAND FOR PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR AND GET

MAXIMUM OUT.

THEY CAN SAVE EVERY TREE ON THAT PROPERTY, SHOULD, COULD,

BUT IT WOULDN'T BE THE BOTTOM LINE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR,

OKAY?

SO YOU LOOK ALL AROUND.

I INVITE EVERY ONE OF YOU TO COME DOWN.

CHARLEY, I KNOW YOU.

YOU HAVE ATTENDED MEETINGS AT THAT CHURCH.

THE CHURCH HAS BEEN DILAPIDATED FOR TEN YEARS.

IT WAS ALLOWED TO GO ON AND ON.

NOBODY PUT ANY MONEY INTO IT.

NOBODY GIVE ANYTHING TO IT.

AND NOW JUST COMING IN, CHOPPING IT ALL UP.

AND IN THREE YEARS, THREE YEARS, I WITNESSED 28 TREES CUT

DOWN IN A TWO-BLOCK AREA, IN A TWO-BLOCK AREA.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT.

THE CHURCH, WHEN IT OPERATED, I WAS THERE WHEN IT OPERATED,

HAD TWO OVERFLOW LOTS, AND THE BACK LOT THAT I BOUGHT WAS

USED EVERY SUNDAY.

THERE WAS A FUNCTIONING SCHOOL THERE.




ALL GONE.

AND NOW WE ARE GOING TO REPLACE IT WITH A STUCCO CRACKER

BOX.

AND IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUNGALOW NEIGHBORHOOD.

HYDE PARK.

TAMPA HEIGHTS.

SEMINOLE HEIGHTS.

SOUTHEAST SEMINOLE HEIGHTS.

IT'S ALL HAPPENING TO US HERE.

AND I'M ALL FOR DEVELOPMENT.

WE NEED HOUSING.

NOT ALL OF IT IS GOING TO BE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

BUT THERE IS NO WAY THAT THIS PROJECT FITS THIS NEIGHBORHOOD

ANYWAY, SHAPE OR FORM.

AND LIKE I SAY, I AM A LITTLE PASSIONATE ABOUT IT BECAUSE I

HAVE INVESTED 26 YEARS, AND MY WIFE AND ME, THREE KID,

HILLSBOROUGH HIGH SCHOOL, MIDDLETON, AND TAMPA BAY TECH, ALL

ATTENDED ALL OF THOSE SCHOOLS.

AND I ASK YOU TO DENY THIS.

DENY IT.

THANK YOU.

[BELL SOUNDS]

23:12:25 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU.

23:12:26 >> I'M ALSO A WRITER. I WALK.




I RIDE.

I KNOW MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I HEARD LAST WEEK THAT THEY SAID THAT

THERE ARE MINISTERS CAME AROUND FROM THE CHURCH TO MEET

PEOPLE IN THE RESIDENCE WHO GAVE THEM THEIR OKAY.

MY SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND I HAVE BEEN BLESSED, RETIRED.

I WRITE AT HOME.

IF I AM NOT HOME, MY NEIGHBORS AS I RETURN, NO ONE, NO ONE

CAME TO ME AT MY HOME OR LEAVE A NOTE AND SAY, JOHN, TOM,

NONE WAS AT THE HOME.

THEY SAY THEY GO AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND, YOU KNOW, AND

WHEN I HEARD OF SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO THEY SAID THESE

THINGS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE, MAN OF GOD, PEOPLE OF GOD, JUST

FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY, I START HERE, WE STARTED AT A TIME

TODAY AND I HEARD DIFFERENT THINGS ABOUT TRYING TO CHANGE

NEIGHBORHOODS BECAUSE OF THE LOVE OF MONEY.

BUT THIS ONE, I AM NOT TRYING TO PRETEND TO SWAY YOU.

THIS IS ONE BEYOND ALL THAT YOU HAVE HEARD THIS MORNING.

I AM LIVING IN THE AREA, 23 YEARS NOW.

I AM A PASTOR TEACHER.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, I WROTE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF

KEYS.

MANY OF YOU KNOW THEM AT LITERATURE, OR RECORDING FOR THE

KINGDOM, GOD'S KINGDOM.

THE KINGDOM OF LOVE, IN JESUS NAME, AND BE A RIGHTEOUS




GODLY, LOVING YOUR BROTHERS, LOVING YOUR SISTERS, DOING FOR

OTHERS, HELP OTHERS.

AND WHEN I HEARD THAT THEY, FOR INSTANCE, SPOKE OF THE

BUILDING OF THE CHURCH AS TWO TIME, THERE WAS A MAN THERE

THAT DO THE CLEANING OF THE YARD AND YARD WORK AND THERE WAS

ONE WHO WAS A CARPENTER, ELECTRICIAN OR WHATEVER, AND THEN

SUDDENLY WE SAW A SIGN ON EVERY DOOR TELLING YOU TO NOT

ENTER, ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT THEY ARE SAYING THAT THEY

WENT AROUND AND SPEAK TO NEIGHBORS, AND NEIGHBORS TOLD THEM

IT'S OKAY TO DO THIS, THAT'S NOT TRUE.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

A NEIGHBORHOOD WITHOUT CHANGE, LIKE OTHERS HAVE SAID, SPEAK

THE ELDERLY THAT GOES FOR THEIR WALK, PEOPLE WITH THEIR

DOGS, GO ACROSS THE STREET, NOW THEY GET KILLED BECAUSE THE

STREET HAS BACKUP SO MUCH NOW, AND THEREFORE WHEN THE ONE

LIGHT AT OSBORNE, AND WHEN YOU ARE CUTTING 16 TREES --

[BELL SOUNDS]

23:16:24 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU, SIR.

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.

I AM HEARING AN IMPORTANT THEME IN THE COMMENTS ABOUT THIS

BEING A HARBINGER OF THINGS TO COME.




AND THE TRUTH IS, IT IS IF WE DON'T CHANGE WHAT'S GOING ON

IN OUR CITY.

I WOULD LIKE TO COME AND SAY YES TO HOUSING, AND I TELL

MYSELF, WHEN THE PROJECT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN EAST TAMPA OR

WEST TAMPA, THE LAST FEW PLACES WE HAD AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN

OUR CITY WAS NATURAL OCCURRING, I TELL MYSELF, JUST DON'T

SAY ANYTHING.

SO I THINK THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO SAY.

AND PART OF IT IS RELATING TO, AGAIN GOING BACK TO IF WE ARE

NOT DOING HOUSING ELSEWHERE, WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR COMP PLAN,

OUR COMP PLAN SAYS OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO BUILD ENOUGH HOUSING,

WE WANT OUR COMMUNITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO IT AND REFUSING TO DO

IT IN PLACES LIKE SOUTH TAMPA OR NORTH HYDE PARK WHERE I

LIVE, AND ARMORY GARDENS AND BEACH PARK, PLACES THAT ARE

VERY DESIRABLE TO HAVE GREAT INFRASTRUCTURE THAT ALREADY

DON'T HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR ANYBODY, WHEN WE DON'T DO

THAT, WE HAVE SITUATIONS LIKE THIS WHERE A DEVELOPER GOES

INTO EAST TAMPA AND THEY BUY LAND THAT'S VERY CHEAP, AND I

VERY HAPPY TO SEE THERE ARE NEIGHBORS THAT CAME AND SPOKE

BECAUSE A LOT OF NEIGHBORHOODS DON'T HAVE THE KIND OF

REPRESENTATION THAT NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE WE SAW EARLIER HAVE

WHERE THERE ARE NO AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR HOPE FOR AFFORDABLE

HOUSING.

SO I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT, YOU KNOW, IF WE CAN'T BUILD

TOWNHOMES, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE CAN BUILD.




AND THIS DOESN'T APPLY HERE OR ELSEWHERE BUT WHEN WE THINK

ABOUT HOW IT FITS INTO OUR GOALS, IF WE CAN'T BUILD

TOWNHOMES HERE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE WE CAN BUILD BESIDES

A BUNCH OF SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.

YOU KNOW, WE ARE IN THIS CRISIS BECAUSE WE ARE NOT BUILDING

ENOUGH HOMES.

SO IF THE ALTERNATIVE IS SIX HOMES, I DON'T KNOW HOW IT'S

COMPLYING WITH THE COMP PLAN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE

ALTERNATIVE.

BUT IF THE ISSUE IS THERE'S TOO MANY HOMES HERE, WE ARE IN A

HOUSING CRISIS BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ENOUGH HOMES, THAT'S

VERY DIFFICULT.

AND I HATE THAT WE ARE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION HERE.

WE SHOULD BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION SOMEWHERE ELSE.

SO PART OF IT HAS TO DO WITH A RECURRING ISSUE WHERE OUR

CODE DOESN'T MATCH WITH OUR VALUES.

WE ARE DOING A PD FOR EVERYTHING.

NOBODY IS HAPPY WITH IT.

THIS DEVELOPMENT IS HAPPENING THE WAY IT IS BECAUSE OUR LAND

DEVELOPMENT CODE DOES NOT DO WHAT THE NEIGHBORS WANT IT TO

DO.

EVEN IF THEY WERE ALLOWING OR INTERESTED IN THE DENSITY THAT

THIS PROVIDES, I DON'T KNOW THE CONFIGURATION THAT LAND

DEVELOPMENT CODE ALLOWS.

SO I'LL SAY THAT AND I WILL FINISH OFF BY SAYING WE AREN'T




GOING TO HAVE A PERFECT CODE IN THE REST OF YOUR TERMS HERE,

OR MY LIFETIME.

THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A PERFECT CODE.

SO IF WE ARE NOT GOING TO BUILD ANY HOUSING ANYWHERE, UNTIL

WE HAVE A PERFECT CODE, THIS CRISIS IS ONLY GOING TO GET A

LOT WORSE AND NEIGHBORHOOD ARE GOING TO GENTRIFY WHETHER WE

LIKE IT OR NOBODY WITH SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES AT A MILLION

DOLLARS EACH.

[BELL SOUNDS]

23:20:25 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

23:20:26 >> I'M JENNIFER McSHANIS. I LIVE AT 1107 EAST CHELSEA,

JOKINGLY CALL IT CHELSEA HIGHWAY, APPROXIMATELY 3 BLOCKS

SOUTH OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.

MY PRIMARY -- I MEAN, I AM AGAINST THIS PROJECT, BUT I

BELIEVE WE NEED A PROJECT AS IN HOUSING AT THAT LOCATION.

I JUST THINK 48 UNITS OVER I THINK 150 PARKING SPACES IN

THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS JUST ABSURD.

WE JUST HEARD, AND I HEARD THE WHOLE THING WITH THE HARBOR

ISLAND PEOPLE, YOU KNOW.

A HUGE HOTEL?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS THAT HUGE, BEING PLACED ON A

CORNER OF KNIGHT'S PARKWAY.

THIS IS REALLY KIND OF LIKE THE SAME THING EXCEPT IT'S SO

MUCH WORSE.

THESE ARE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.




AND THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT 48 UNITS BEING PLOPPED DOWN ON A

SMALL TWO-LANE ROAD, OSBORNE.

OSBORNE IS TINY, AND IT IS SO CONGESTED.

12th STREET IS A PATH THROUGH BETWEEN OSBORNE AND MLK.

AND PEOPLE RACE THROUGH THERE.

THERE'S TWO STOP SIGNS ON THE WAY FROM OSBORNE TO MLK.

AND IT'S REALLY NOT VERY GOOD.

AND THEN WE HAVE GOT NEBRASKA, AND THAT IS JUST BACKED UP AS

WELL.

THE WHOLE PLACE IS BACKED UP.

THEY USE CHELSEA TO CUT THROUGH TO GET UNDER 275 TO GET OVER

TO FLORIDA.

AND WE HAVE NO SPEED BUMPS.

WE BARELY HAVE -- WE HAVE A FEW STOP SIGNS.

AND PEOPLE ARE JUST RACING THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND JUST

ADDING 100 MORE CARS TO THE CORNER OF 12th and Osborne.

It's going to be -- we don't have the roads for it.

We don't have the roads. If this was on Nebraska, I think

like 12 townhouses on Nebraska going for $650,000 each on

the corner of Nebraska and MLK.

That's one thing.

And I can't believe how much they are going for.

On Florida, we have, I think, I don't know, ten stories,

maybe eight stories, big apartment complex built next to the

front porch, the restaurant.




THAT'S FLORIDA AVENUE.

THAT'S NEBRASKA AVENUE.

WHATEVER THEY ARE DOING ON HILLSBOROUGH.

BUT THIS IS A LITTLE TINY NEIGHBORHOOD.

THIS SPOT IS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

WE JUST CANNOT -- IT'S NOT THE RIGHT PLACE FOR IT.

MAYBE TEN TOWNHOUSES.

MAYBE TEN TOWNHOUSES.

BUT 48 UNITS IS TOO MUCH.

IT'S WAY BEYOND WHAT THIS NEIGHBORHOOD CAN HANDLE.

[BELL SOUNDS]

23:23:33 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

23:23:34 >> MY NAME IS CARROLL ANN BENNETT, LIFE-LONG RESIDENT OF

TAMPA.

I WAS ACTUALLY HORRIFIED THAT THEY WERE GOING TO CUT DOWN

80% OF THE TREES.

WE TALKED ABOUT THE MAN TALK ABOUT TREES, 100, 200 YEARS

OLD, THEY ARE GOING TO CUT THEM DOWN.

I UNDERSTAND WE NEED HOUSING.

I UNDERSTAND WE NEED AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

BUT THE STAFF HAS THE ANSWER RIGHT THERE IN THE STAFF

REPORT.

MAKE THE UNITS SMALLER.

ADHERE TO THE CODE.

YOU DO THAT, THE UNITS ARE SMALLER, THEY ARE MORE




AFFORDABLE.

THEY HAVE THE SAME DENSITY BUT THEY COST LESS.

YOU SAVE THE TREES.

THE ANSWER IS TO FOLLOW THE CODE.

I UNDERSTAND THAT IT WILL HAVE IMPACT ON THE PROFITABILITY

OF THIS VENTURE.

BUT THAT IS NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT IS BEST FOR THIS

CITY, AND THIS PLANET.

SAVE THE TREES.

MAKE THE UNITS SMALLER.

MAKE THEM MORE AFFORDABLE.

DO WHAT THE STAFF SAID.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

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

SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE ON CELL PHONE LINES.

I BELIEVE SO.

23:25:04 >> THIS IS BERNARD.

ARE YOU THERE?

23:25:08 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
WHO WAS THAT?

MR. BERNARD?

IS THAT YOU?

ARE YOU ON A CELL PHONE OR ON YOUR COMPUTER?

23:25:23 >> I AM ON A CELL PHONE AND I APOLOGIZE.




I MEANT TO BE THERE IN PERSON AND I AM TRAVELING FOR WORK

AND I WAS UP UNTIL 10:00 WHERE THE LOCATION I HAD WI-FI

CLOSED DOWN SO I AM ON MY CELL PHONE.

I CAN SEE YOU.

AND IF YOU ALLOW ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT, I WOULD VERY

MUCH LIKE TO SPEAK.

23:25:44 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
CAN WE SEE YOU PHYSICALLY ON YOUR CELL

PHONE?

23:25:47 >> I MEAN, THE CELL PHONE IS CAPABLE OF DOING THAT.

I AM NOT SURE IF THIS ALLOWS ME TO DO THAT.

23:25:53 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
NO, SIR.

AND UNLESS WE SEE YOU, WE CANNOT TAKE YOUR COMMENTS.

I APOLOGIZE.

23:25:59 >>THE CLERK:
AND DANA STOLEWELL.

23:26:07 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MS. STOLEWELL, ARE YOU THERE

ARE YOU ON YOUR CELL PHONE OR ON YOUR COMPUTER?

MS. STOLEWELL?

23:26:17 >> YES, SIR, I AM HERE.

23:26:20 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ARE YOU ON YOUR COMPUTER OR ON YOUR CELL

PHONE?

23:26:24 >> ON THE CELL PHONE.

23:26:27 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
I AM SORRY, WE CANNOT TAKE YOUR COMMENTS.

WE NEED TO SEE YOU PHYSICALLY.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE ONLINE?

23:26:39 >>THE CLERK:
THERE ARE TWO OTHER REGISTERED SPEAKERS BUT




THEY DIDN'T LOG ON.

23:26:42 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WANTS TO GIVE

PUBLIC COMMENT?

23:26:45 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I WANT TO ASK STAFF A QUESTION.

MS. BARNES?

TWO QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

I KNOW EAST TAMPA HAS AN OVERLAY.

I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH EAST TAMPA

OVERLAY.

I THOUGHT CRITERIA WOULD BE ANY DEVELOPMENT THE CRA MANAGER

MUST BE NOTIFIED AND BRING IT TO THE CAC.

23:27:23 >>ANNIE BARNES:
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.

SO I JUST CONFIRMED, IT IS NOT LOCATED WITHIN AN OVERLAY.

23:27:42 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
IT'S NOT?

OKAY.

23:27:45 >>ANNIE BARNES:
NO.

23:27:47 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
WITHIN EAST TAMPA CRA, I THOUGHT THE CRA

MANAGER IS NOTIFIED AND SEND IT TO THE CAC OF EAST TAMPA.

23:27:56 >>ANNIE BARNES:
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.

SO THIS IS NOT LOCATED WITHIN AN OVERLAY DISTRICT OR THE

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

EAST TAMPA CRA.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS ASKING.




BECAUSE WHEN I SAT ON THERE THAT BOARD I THOUGHT THERE WAS A

CRITERIA ANY DEVELOPMENT IN EAST TAMPA CRA, THE EAST TAMPA

MANAGER IS NOTIFIED TO LET THE CAC KNOW ABOUT THAT.

SO IF I AM INCORRECT, I THOUGHT THAT WAS A POLICY.

23:28:26 >>ANNIE BARNES:
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.

SO I DO NOT SEE THAT AT THE LAYER, BUT I CAN SEARCH ONLINE

GIF MAP.

I WOULD BE HAPPY TO LOOK AT ACCELA BRIEFLY, BUT I AM UNAWARE

OF THAT POLICY.

SO LET ME LOOK AT ACCELA AND SEE IF THERE WERE ANY NOTES

UPDATED.

23:28:52 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I WON'T TROUBLE YOU WITH THAT TONIGHT BUT

I WILL ASK MR. McCRAY FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS.

BUT THANK YOU ANYWAY.

23:28:59 >>ANNIE BARNES:
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.

YES, I WILL VERIFY IN THE FUTURE ABOUT THAT.

23:29:10 >>DAVID MECHANIK:
DAVID MECHANIK, MR. CHAIRMAN.

WE WILL TRY TO BE BRIEF.

I AM GOING TO ASK MR. YATES TO COME UP IN A MINUTE TO

ADDRESS THE TRANSPORTATION COMMENTS.

I WOULD LIKE TO READ TO YOU A SENTENCE OUT OF THE PLANNING

COMMISSION STAFF REPORT.

THE PD IS SENSITIVE TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD,

PROVIDING A RANGE OF HOUSING TYPES, THAT ARE COMPATIBLE WITH




THE SURROUNDING USES.

THE PD IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC, NEW

SIDEWALKS WITHIN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY, AND INTERNAL SIDEWALKS

THAT CONNECT FRONT DOORS TO SIDEWALKS AT THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.

THIS IS COMING FROM YOUR PROFESSIONAL STAFF, AND IT'S QUITE

A DIFFERENT STORY THAN WHAT YOU HAVE HEARD FROM THE

NEIGHBORHOOD THIS EVENING.

LET ME ADDRESS A FEW MISCONCEPTIONS VERY QUICKLY.

THE BUILDINGS ARE NOT FOUR STORIES.

THEY ARE 35 FEET.

AND EVERY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING IN THE CITY IS ALLOWED TO

BUILD TO 35 FEET.

THEY ARE NOT EXCEEDING ANY RESIDENTIAL STANDARDS OF THE

CITY.

WE ARE BUILDING SIDEWALKS PER THE CODE.

AS I INDICATED BEFORE, THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS PLAN, WE HAVE

BEEN DETERMINED TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS

PLAN.

FINALLY, BEFORE I ASK MICHAEL, I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT

THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ALLOWS FOR US TO BUILD 48 UNITS

ON THIS PROPERTY.

IF THERE IS SOMETHING OBJECTIONABLE ABOUT THIS PROJECT,

PEOPLE OUGHT TO BE LOOKING AT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

BUT IN FACT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS ENCOURAGING URBAN

IN-FILL DEVELOPMENT, AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE




PROPOSING.

23:31:17 >> MICHAEL YATES.

I HAVE BEEN SWORN.

I JUST QUANTITY TO GO OVER THE COMMENTS ON TRAFFIC.

AGAIN, WE DID OUR TRAFFIC STUDY.

WE USED ITE TRIP GENERATION, 11th EDITION FOR THE

COMPARISON BETWEEN THE CHURCH AND THE TOWN HOME

DEVELOPMENTS.

THE CHURCH ASSUMES THAT IT IS A FULLY FUNCTIONING OPERATING

CHURCH, AS THE EXISTING USE WHICH IS WHAT THE EXISTING USE

IS THERE.

AND SO THAT ACTUALLY DOES SHOW THAT THERE IS A NET REDUCTION

IN DAILY TRIPS, AND THE TRIPS ARE AWASH, AND THE A.M. PEAK

HOUR TRIPS ARE FIVE DIFFERENT.

ALSO, AGAIN, THE ROADWAY, OSBORNE, IS A COLLECT HE SHALL

ROADWAY, AND OPERATES AT A LEVEL OF SERVICE C WITH THE

VOLUME CAPACITY OF .41.

SO THERE IS 60% OF THE CAPACITY OF THE ROADWAY STILL

AVAILABLE.

AND WITH THE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC, EVEN IF YOU ASSUME ALL THE

ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC ON THE ROADWAY, IT WILL NOT CAUSE THE

LEVEL OF SERVICE TO CHANGE.

BEYOND THE C THAT IT IS.

SO EVERYTHING WORKS AT THE LEVEL OF SERVICE.

ALL THE ROADS CAN HANDLE THE TRAFFIC ON THE ADJACENT




ROADWAYS.

23:32:40 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILMAN GUDES.

23:32:42 >>ORLANDO GUDES:
AGAIN, I BELIEVE IN YOUR STUDY, BUT THE

TIMES OF THAT TRAFFIC ON OSBORNE IS A DIFFERENT STORY.

THE BACKUP IN THE MORNING, BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE SCHOOL

TRAFFIC, YOU HAVE CHILDREN WALKING, SO YOU HAVE THAT MORNING

TRAFFIC, THAT MIDDAY TRAFFIC, AND I WILL SAY THAT EVENING

TRAFFIC.

SO I BELIEVE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING YOUR STUDY IS ONE THING,

BUT THE ACTUALITY OF WHAT'S HAPPENING OUT THERE WHEN YOU

VISUALLY SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING, IT'S A TOTAL DIFFERENT STORY.

THAT'S WHY THE PEOPLE ARE HERE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT.

SO AGAIN, I TRAVEL THAT VERY FREQUENT SO I AM FAMILIAR WITH

THAT OSBORNE, AND I BELIEVE THAT CORNER, IT'S OFF.

SO I UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE ACCIDENTS, BECAUSE

YOU HAVE THE EMPTY LOT WHICH IS ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER WITH

THAT BIG OL' TREE THERE.

SO I UNDERSTAND IT PERFECTLY.

SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT CORNER, AND THAT TRAFFIC PATTERN, I

THINK IT IS A LITTLE CONCERNING.

23:33:55 >> AND AGAIN, THE LEVEL OF SERVICE REPORT LOOKS AT TWO

THINGS.

IT LOOKS AT THE DAILY VOLUMES, AND THE P.M. PEAK HOURS IS

WHAT IT LOOKS AT.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT BOTH OF THOSE, IT OPERATES AT ACCEPTABLE




LEVEL OF SERVICE.

23:34:08 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
YES, MR. CHAIRMAN, THANK YOU.

MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY.

AGAIN, A REMINDER, COUNCIL, THAT YOU MAY HAVE FAMILIARITY

WITH THE AREA, BUT IT IS NOT APPROPRIATE TO PUT THAT INTO

EVIDENCE AS OPPOSED TO TAKING WHAT YOU HAVE HEARD FROM THE

PUBLIC AND USING THAT TO BE ABLE TO FORMULATE YOUR DECISION.

SO I AM GOING TO ASK COUNCIL TO BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT ACCEPTING

WHAT COUNCIL MEMBERS SAY FROM THE DAIS RELATIVE TO THE AREA.

IT IS BETTER TO ELICIT THAT KIND OF COMMENT FROM THE PEOPLE

IN THE AUDIENCE WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY HEARD, OR TO ASK

QUESTIONS ABOUT IT SO YOU CAN GET THOSE FACTS INTO EVIDENCE

FROM THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TESTIFYING.

THANK YOU.

23:35:01 >>DAVID MECHANIK:
WE HAVE NOTHING ELSE.

WE ARE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

23:35:03 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO, SECOND BY

COUNCILMAN VIERA.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL?

23:35:22 >>LYNN HURTAK:
I CAN MAKE A MOTION.

SEE WHERE IT GOES.

I MOVE TO DENY REZ 20-15 FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1102

EAST CURTIS STREET AND 1009, 1011 AND 1008 EAST OSBORNE




AVENUE DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE APPLICANT TO MEET ITS

BURDEN OF PROOF TO PROVIDE COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL

EVIDENCE OF DEVELOPMENT AS CONDITIONS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN

IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND CITY CODE AND

THE APPLICANT'S FAILURE TO MEET ITS BURDEN OF PROOF WITH

RESPECT TO THE REQUESTED WAIVERS.

I ALSO ADOPT THE FINDINGS AND REASONINGS OF THE CITY STAFF

REPORT WHICH SUMMARIZES THE ADVERSE IMPACTS ANTICIPATED BY

THE REQUESTED WAIVERS, INCLUDING FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH LAND

DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION 27-136, SUCH AS THE PROPOSED

DEVELOPMENT SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN DOES NOT PROMOTE OR

ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS APPROPRIATE IN LOCATION,

CHARACTER AND COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING

NEIGHBORHOOD.

IN ADDITION THE WAIVERS, THE FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SECTION

27-139 SUBSECTION 4 SUCH AS THE NEED OR DESIRE FOR WAIVERS

NECESSARILY SUPPORTS THE FACTS THAT THE PROPOSED INTENSITY

OF DEVELOPMENT IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THIS SITE AND DOES NOT

COMPLY WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

THE APPLICANT DID NOT PROVIDE THE EVIDENCE THAT THE PROPOSED

DESIGN IS UNIQUE IN ORDER TO JUSTIFY THE WAIVERS, AND THE

APPLICANT DID NOT PROVIDE EVIDENCE THAT THE REQUESTED

WAIVERS WILL NOT SUBSTANTIALLY INTERFERE WITH OR INJURE THE

RIGHTS OF OTHERS WHOSE PROPERTY WOULD BE AFFECTED BY THE

WAIVERS.

THANK YOU, COUNCIL.

ANNIE BARNES, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.

ITEM 14 IS REZ 22-23.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 5411 WEST TYSON AVENUE.

THE DID IS TO REZONE FROM IG INDUSTRIAL GENERAL TO PD.

I WILL TURN OVER THE PRESENTATION TO JENNIFER MALONE OF THE




PLANNING COMMISSION AND THEN CONCLUDE MINE.

23:49:45 >>JENNIFER MALONE:
PLANNING COMMISSION.

[~DISTORTION~] THIS IS AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE.

AS YOU KNOW IT'S LOCATED ON RATTLESNAKE POINT, SOW SOUTH OF

THE GANDY BOULEVARD.

THIS AREA OF THE CITY HAS EXPERIENCED TRANSITION,

TRANSITIONING FROM MOSTLY INDUSTRIAL USES TO MORE OF A MIXED

USE DEVELOPMENT.

THE AERIAL MIGHT NOT BE THE MOST UP-TO-DATE BUT THIS IS WHAT

WE HAVE.

THE FUTURE LAND USE IS COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35.

THAT'S THE PINK COLOR ON THE MAP.

THERE IS SOME HEAVY INDUSTRIAL LAND USE ON RATTLESNAKE POINT

TO THE EAST, THE GRAY, ALMOST BLACK COLOR.

AS YOU ALL KNOW, THERE ARE SPECIFIC FUTURE LAND USE POLICIES

IN THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT THAT ARE SPECIFIC TO WRATH

RATTLESNAKE POINT AND INTENDED TO GUIDE THE DEVELOPMENT

AROUND RATTLESNAKE POINT AS IT TRANSITIONS FROM MORE OF AN

INDUSTRIAL WORKING WATERFRONT TYPE AREA TO MORE OF A MIXED

USE RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL AREA.

I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL OF THE POLICIES THAT THE APPLICANT

HAS ADDRESSED TO LAND DEVELOPMENT IN THE INTEREST OF TIME

BUT A COUPLE OF THE IMPORTANT ONES, THE APPLICANT IS

ADDRESSING THE FACT THAT THE RATTLESNAKE POINT POLICIES

CALLS FOR EVERY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT THAT COMES IN TO HAVE A




PUBLIC ACCESS TO THE WATERFRONT, THAT IS IN POLICY 8.14.4

AND .5.

THE APPLICANT IS ADDRESSING THAT BY A NOTE ON THE PLAN.

THE APPLICANT IS ALSO PROVIDING A MITIGATION SHELTER SPACE

AS PROVIDED IN 8.11.7.

AND I NEED TO POINT OUT THAT THERE ARE SOME ITEMS THAT THE

PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF ASKED FOR BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND

READING, FOR THE RECORD, THAT THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO,

SPECIFICALLY A NOTE THAT THE UNITS ALONG WEST TYSON AVENUE

WILL HAVE FRONT DOORS FACING TOWARD TYSON AS WELL AS A

SIDEWALK ALONG THE FRONT OF THOSE UNITS TO COMPLETE THE

CONNECTIVITY, AS WELL AS HAVING SQUARE FOOTAGE STAYING ON

THE SUBJECT SITE.

ANNIE ALSO HAS THOSE REVISIONS IN HER PRESENTATION ON THE

PowerPoint SLIDE BUT I POINT THAT OUT FOR THE RECORD. WITH

THOSE REVISIONS WE DID FIND THE MIXED USE POLICY WAS THE

FRONT DOORS AND CONNECTIVITY, IT IS ALSO BELOW THE F.A.R. AS

A WHOLE, AND APPROXIMATELY A .8, I WANT TO SAY, AND THE

MAXIMUM IS 1.0.

SO WE DID FIND IT INCONSISTENT WITH THAT, THE FACT SO I AM

GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO ANNIE BUT I AM ALWAYS HERE FOR

QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU.

23:52:49 >>ANNIE BARNES:
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.

AGAIN, THIS IS REZ 22-23, FOR 411 -- 5411 WEST TYSON AVENUE,




THE REQUEST TO REZONE FROM IG TO PD FOR RESIDENTIAL

MULTIFAMILY, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED, RETAIL

SALES, SHOPPERS GOODS, AND RESTAURANT USES.

NO WAIVERS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REQUEST.

HERE IS AN AERIAL MAP OF THE SUBJECT SITE, PROPOSED, AS WELL

AS THE SITE PLAN FOR THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN.

SO THE PROJECT IS FOR 839,584 SQUARE FEET OF MIXED USE

DEVELOPMENT, 625 TOTAL RESIDENTIAL UNITS, AS WELL AS 6000

SQUARE FEET OF RETAIL SALES, SHOPPERS GOODS, AND

APPROXIMATELY 5500 SQUARE FEET FOR RESTAURANT USES.

SHOWN HERE ARE THE ELEVATIONS THAT WERE PROVIDED BY THE

APPLICANT.

SHOWN HERE IS THE PORTION OF THE SUBJECT SITE.

AS WELL AS PROPERTY SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE.

THE SITE AGAIN NORTH ON TYSON.

THIS IS A VIEW OF TYSON FACING EAST.

THESE ARE SOME RESIDENTIAL HOMES THAT ARE BEING BUILT ALONG

TYSON, AS YOU CONTINUE EAST.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE

APPLICATION AND FIND THE OVERALL REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE

CITY OF TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN MUST BE COMPLETED BY THE

APPLICANT IN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.

ORDINANCE AS STATED ON THE REVISION SHEET, THE APPLICATION

AS WELL AS THE PLANNING COMMISSION REVISION COMMENTS




INCLUDED.

THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

23:54:57 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?

MS. BATSEL, I SEE THAT YOU HAVE MR. PAINE AND MRS. LIND THAT

MAY BE ON LINE.

ARE THEY JOINING US?

23:55:15 >>ELISE BATSEL:
YES, NOT FOR INITIAL PRESENTATION BUT JUST

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.

I AM ROLLING THE DICE HERE.

23:55:27 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

JUST MAKING SURE.

23:55:28 >>ELISE BATSEL:
DO YOU HAVE MY PRESENTATION, PLEASE, MADAM

CLERK?

23:55:39 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
I.T.?

THANK YOU.

23:56:04 >>ELISE BATSEL:
GOOD EVENING.

IT'S NICE TO BE HERE AND I WILL GO AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE

GIVEN THE LATE HOUR.

ELISE BATSEL WITH STEARNS WEAVER.

WE HAVE OUR LINKS AND ASSOCIATES, OUR TRANSPORTATION

ENGINEERS AND OUR CIVIL ENGINEERS JOINING US TONIGHT.

AS ANNIE MENTIONED THIS IS 23.1 ACRES AT THE NORTHWESTERN




TIP OF RATTLESNAKE POINT.

MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN ON COUNCIL WHEN MANY OF THESE

REZONINGS HAVE COME FORWARD AND WE ARE SUPER EXCITED TO BE

HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT THIS TO YOU WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE

COMMUNITY.

THE FUTURE LAND USE, COMMUNITY LAND USE 35, THERE'S ONLY

THREE AREAS REMAINING OF HEAVY INDUSTRIAL IN THE FUTURE LAND

USE.

THAT'S CHEMICAL FORMULATORS, THE ARMY TRAINING CENTER, AND

HULA BAY, THE RECREATIONAL AREA.

THE EXISTING ZONING IS INDUSTRIAL GENERAL.

THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST INDUSTRIAL SITES REMAINING WITH THE

EXCEPTION OF THE ARMY RESERVE CHEMICAL FORMULATORS AND TO

THE SOUTH.

THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS TO REZONE THIS PROPERTY FROM

INDUSTRIAL GENERAL TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WHICH IS

CONSISTENT WITH THE TRANSITION THAT ANNIE HAS ALREADY SPOKEN

ABOUT AND ALSO CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

RATTLESNAKE POINT POLICIES.

I WANT TO STEP BACK TO 35 THAT YOU FOOT VIEW FOR A MOMENT.

THIS IS THE FIRST OF MANY APPLICATIONS THAT WE ARE GOING TO

BE COMING BEFORE YOU.

THIS IS A REZONING THAT COVERS NUMBER 1 ON THIS PLAN.

THIS REZONING TONIGHT IS 5441 WEST TYSON.

THE NEXT LOCATION THAT WE WILL BE SUBMITTING, THAT TAKES




THIS VISION INTO ACCOUNT, IS GOING TO BE A COMPREHENSIVE

PLAN AMENDMENT THAT WE PLAN TO FILE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND

READING FOR THE CHEMICAL FORMULATE OR PROPERTY.

THAT'S NOT BEFORE YOU TONIGHT.

BUT THAT APPLICATION WILL BE COMING IN JUNE 1st.

AND THAT WOULD BE CHAINING THAT FROM HEAVY INDUSTRIAL TO

CMU-35.

THEN WE'LL NEED TO COME IN AGAIN FOR A REZONING FOR CHEMICAL

FORMULATORS.

THAT'S GOING TO BE PHASE TWO OF OUR PROJECT WHERE WE ARE

GOING TO BE ADDING ADDITIONAL UNITS.

BUT I DID WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE TAKEN GREAT CARE

AND FRONT LOADING ALL THE AMENITIES, ALL OF THE PUBLIC

SPACES INTO PHASE 1 SO THE COMMUNITY CAN BE ASSURED THAT

THEY ARE GOING TO BE PART OF OUR OVERALL PROJECT.

FINALLY, WE ARE GOING TO BE COMING BACK TO CITY COUNCIL AT

SOME POINT IN 2023 FOR SOME SORT OF ASKING FOR A FUNDING

MECHANISM TO MAKE GREATER IMPROVEMENTS ON RATTLESNAKE POINT.

WE ARE DEDICATED TO A PUBLIC PARK, WE WOULD LIKE TO BE

INVOLVED IN MAKING IMPROVEMENTS TO TYSON AVENUE, PARKING

ALONG TYSON AVENUE, AND TO FUNDING THE DEFICIT THAT'S

NECESSARY FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AT TYSON AND WESTSHORE.

AGAIN, ALL OF THESE THINGS AREN'T BEFORE YOU TONIGHT BUT WE

WANTED TO PAINT THAT BIGGER VISION SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE

ARE GOING.




THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS THE 23 ACRES FROM IG TO

PD.

SO JUST TO BREAK THE PLAN DOWN A LITTLE BIT, THE RESIDENTIAL

COMPONENT IS 625 MULTIFAMILY UNITS IN THE BACKYARD U-SHAPED

BUILDINGS THAT YOU SEE ON THE PLAN.

WE ARE ALSO PROPOSING -- THAT'S 593 UNITS IN THE MULTIFAMILY

BUILDING.

WE ARE ALSO PROPOSING 32 TOWN HOME UNITS.

THOSE ARE THE LITTLE PURPLE BUILDINGS JUST SOUTH OF THE

PUBLIC PARK.

AND THE PINK BUILDINGS ARE TWO RESTAURANT RETAIL AREAS.

THE FIRST, ALL THE WAY TO THE SOUTHWEST IS SALT SHACK, THE

EXISTING SALT SHAKE BUILDING.

AND THE OTHER PINK BUILDING IS A NEW 6,000 SQUARE FOOT

RETAIL RESTAURANT ESTABLISHMENT THAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO BE

ADDED AS PART OF THE REZONING.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SEVERAL PUBLIC AMENITIES, SPECIFICALLY,

WE HAVE DEDICATED 1,910 FEET OF LINEAR BOARDWALK ALL ALONG

THE WALKWAY, AND I WILL TALK A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THAT, AS

WELL AS THIS 3-ACRE WATERFRONT PARK.

SO IN TOTAL, WE HAVE OVER FIVE ACRES OF OPEN SPACE, AND WE

HAVE 8.19 ACRES OF NONRESIDENTIAL, AND LOOKING FOR TRUE

MIXED USE.

SO WE HAVE TAKEN ALL THE NONRESIDENTIAL AND AGGREGATED THAT

AND IT'S ACTUALLY 35% OF THE SITE.




AND AGAIN, ON A 23-ACRE PARCEL WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR ONE

WAIVER AT THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

BEFORE I MOVE ON I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

WE HAVE MET WITH THE SOUTH OF GANDY COMMUNITY AND THE SOUTH

OF GANDY LEADERS MULTIPLE, MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST

YEAR.

AND THEY ASKED FOR SEVERAL THINGS TO BE INCORPORATED INTO

OUR PLAN, WHICH WE ARE PLEASED TO TELL YOU WE WERE ABLE TO

DO.

THE FIRST ONE OF THOSE IS A WORKFORCE HOUSING COMPONENT.

THE SOUTHEASTERN HAS COMMITTED TO A MINIMUM OF 30 WORKFORCE

HOUSING UNITS AS PART OF THIS PROJECT.

THAT WAS AS A DIRECT RESULT OF REQUESTS FROM THE SOUTH OF

GANDY COMMUNITY.

THEY ALSO ASKED FOR MORE ROBUST PUBLIC SPACES.

SO THE PLAN FOR THE SITE AND ADDED IN THESE ROBUST PUBLIC

SPACES, AS WE MENTIONED, THE AREA IN GREEN WHICH IS THE

THREE-ACRE WATERFRONT PARK.

THE AREA IN PURPLE IS DESIGNATED, THIS IS THE RETAIL MIXED

USE COMPONENT.

AGAIN, THESE ARE PUBLIC SPACES.

EVERYBODY CAN COME SO THERE'S PARKING FOR THE PUBLIC PARK,

THERE'S PARKING FOR THE BOARDWALK, AND THERE'S PARKING FOR

THESE RETAIL AND RESTAURANT ESTABLISHMENTS.




FINALLY, THE BLUE AREA IS THE PUBLIC BOARDWALK.

AND THE IDEA IS THAT THIS PUBLIC BOARDWALK IS GOING TO

CONNECT TO THE SOUTH DIRECTLY INTO WHERE THE MAA BOARDWALK

WAS APPROVED AND IS NOW BEING PERMITTED TO BE CONSTRUCTED,

AND TO THE EXTENT THAT THIS COUNCIL APPROVES WOODFIELD, WE

HAVE DESIGNED THE BOARDWALK TO ALSO CONNECT TO THE WOODFIELD

BOARDWALK TO PROVIDE THIS NICE CONTINUANCE WATERFRONT LINEAR

PARK.

WITH RESPECT TO DENSITY AND INTENSITY, AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS

CMU-35, AND SO YOUR FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION, OR

CATEGORY, WOULD ALLOW 30 UNITS PER ACRE AND 35 UNITS PER

ACRE WITH BONUSES.

WE ARE REQUESTING 27 UNITS PER ACRE HERE, CONSISTENT WITH

ALL OF THE OTHER PREVIOUSLY APPROVED MULTIFAMILY AND MIXED

USE DEVELOPMENTS ON RATTLESNAKE POINT.

AND IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT WHEN YOU LOOK AT A PROJECT TO LOOK

AT THE BIGGER PICTURE, AGAIN AND WHAT'S AROUND THERE.

SO I JUST WANTED TO CREATE THIS GRAPHIC SO THAT YOU COULD

SEE HOW THIS DEVELOPMENT FIT IN WITH SURROUNDING AREA.

THOSE CROSS HATCHED AREAS DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTH, THAT'S THE

MAA PROJECT THAT WAS APPROVED AT THE MIXED USE WATERFRONT

PROJECT.

DIRECTLY TO THE EAST IS THE WOODFIELD PORK CHOP WHICH IS

PENDING BEFORE YOU THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE APPROVED.

FURTHER TO THE EAST IS THE U.S. ARMY TRAINING CENTER.




AND FURTHER TO THE EAST WHERE YOU SEE REZONING, THAT 77,

THAT'S A RESIDENTIAL PROJECT THAT I BELIEVE IS GETTING READY

TO GO INTO PERMITTING THIS WEEK OR NEXT WEEK.

SO FROM A CONSISTENCY STANDPOINT, THIS PROJECT IS CONSISTENT

WITH THE OBJECTIVES AND ALL OF THE POLICIES FOR RATTLESNAKE

POINT WHICH OF COURSE ENCOURAGES THAT TRANSITION AWAY FROM

INDUSTRIAL TO RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL WITH A REAL STRONG

EMPHASIS ON ENHANCING A WATERFRONT COMMUNITY.

IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE CMU-35 LAND USE CATEGORY,

CONSISTENT WITH APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE COASTAL

MANAGEMENT ELEMENT, AND THE MIXED USE CORRIDOR POLICIES, AND

AGAIN NO WAIVERS ARE REQUESTED.

SO AT THIS POINT IN TIME I WOULD LIKE TO BRIEFLY TURN IT

OVER TO MY COLLEAGUE TINA WHO IS AN AICP CERTIFIED PLANNER

WITH OVER 15 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND SHE'S GOING TO DELVE

INTO THE INCONSISTENCIES JUST A LITTLE BIT.

00:04:27 >> GOOD EVENING.

FOR THE RECORD, TINA EKBLAD, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING WITH

STEARNS WEAVER MILLER.

I DO HAVE A FEW BRIEF COMMENTS FOR YOU TONIGHT REGARDING

YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THIS PROJECT CONSISTENCY.

AS YOU HEARD, THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 FUTURE LAND USE

CATEGORY PROMOTES AN INTEGRATION OF USES, AND RELATED TO

THAT, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF POLICIES IN YOUR COMPREHENSIVE

PLAN THAT PROMOTE THE TRANSITION OF SINGLE USE PROPERTIES




INTO MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, AND SPECIFICALLY THAT ENCOURAGE

COMPACT IN-FILL DEVELOPMENT ON UNDERUTILIZED PROPERTIES, AND

THERE'S ADDITIONAL EMPHASIS ON PROJECTS IN MAJOR

TRANSPORTATION ROUTES WITHIN THE CITY.

THE PROPOSED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT BEFORE YOU TONIGHT DOES

PROMOTE THIS TRANSITION OF AN ISOLATED INDUSTRIAL USE INTO A

MIXED USE PROJECT, AND ESTABLISHES INFRASTRUCTURE

IMPROVEMENTS THAT SUPPORT PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY, PUBLIC

ACCESS TO THE WATERFRONT, AND ALSO RECREATION AS HAS BEEN

MENTIONED BY HILLSBOROUGH PLANNING COMMISSION AND ALSO

ATTORNEY BATSEL.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS CONNECTIVITY IS NOT JUST TO

THE EAST BUT INTERNAL ON THE SITE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT BUT

ALSO EXTERNAL TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES.

AND THEN SPECIFIC TO THE PROJECT'S LOCATION ON RATTLESNAKE

POINT, THE CITY'S PLAN PROMOTES THE TRANSITION OF LAND USE

FROM AS WE HEARD, THOSE EXISTING INDUSTRIAL USES, THROUGH

THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, TO ENABLE A MORE DETAILED

REVIEW, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY TO ENSURE THAT MITIGATION IS

PROVIDED REGARDING TRANSPORTATION AND HURRICANE EVACUATION

AND SHELTER.

AS A PLAN DEVELOPMENT, THE SITE PLAN BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS

CONSISTENT WITH THIS PROCESS.

THE SITE PLAN INCLUDES NOTES THAT ENSURE THAT MITIGATION

PAYMENTS ARE PROVIDED FOR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS,




DESPITE THE PROJECT'S LOCATION IN A TRANSPORTATION

CONCURRENCY EXCEPTION AREA, IT ALSO INCLUDES NOTES THAT

MITIGATION PAYMENTS REGARDING HURRICANE EVACUATION BE

PROVIDED.

BOTH OF THESE WILL BE GIVEN TO THE CITY PRIOR TO

CONSTRUCTION.

YOU WILL HAVE THOSE FUND FOR IMPROVEMENT OFF-SITE.

I ALSO WANT TO NOTE WITH REGARD TO HURRICANE EVACUATION, THE

CITY AND THEIR JOINT PROGRAM WITH THE COUNTY IS WORKING, THE

STATE PUBLISHED A HURRICANE SHELTER STUDY THIS YEAR IN 2022,

HILLSBOROUGH IS ONE OF THE FEW COUNTIES THAT IS PROVIDING

ADEQUATE SHELTER SPACE ACROSS ALL COUNTY SO THE PROGRAM IS

WORKING.

THEREFORE IT IS MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION THAT THE PROPOSED

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS CONSISTENT WITH

THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND AT THIS TIME, I WOULD

LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO STEVE HENRY, THE PROJECT'S

TRANSPORTATION ENGINEER WHO IS A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER WITH

OVER 35 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE TO DISCUSS THE TRANSPORTATION

ANALYSIS CONDUCTED FOR THIS PROJECT.

00:07:21 >> STEVE HENRY, LINCKS AND ASSOCIATES, 5023 WEST LAUREL,

TAMPA 33607, AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN.

AS INDICATED, THE SITE IS WITHIN THE CITY OF TAMPA

CONCURRENCY EXCEPTION AREA, AND SO WE CONDUCTED THE TRAFFIC

ANALYSIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY'S PROCEDURE MANUAL.




THE ANALYSIS WAS BY YOUR STAFF AND CONCUR WITH THE

CONCLUSIONS, AND IN FACT THIS PROJECT WILL PAY $264,237 IN

MITIGATION FEES FOR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS IN THE AREA.

AND THEN IN ADDITION, REAL QUICKLY, THE SITE AS INDICATED IS

CURRENTLY ZONED IG WHICH WOULD ALLOW OVER A MILLION SQUARE

FEET OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

THIS GRAPHIC SHOWS YOU A COMPARISON OF WHAT COULD BE BASED

ON THE IG ZONING VERSUS WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING.

THE GREEN IS THE WHAT COULD BE DONE WITH THE IG ZONING.

YOU CAN SEE IN THE AM PEAK HOUR ABOUT 745 TRIPS, WHERE IS WE

ARE PROPOSING ABOUT 218.

IN THE P.M. PEAK HOUR COULD BE 654, BUT WE ARE PROPOSING IS

ABOUT 289.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

ANY QUESTIONS?

00:08:38 >>ELISE BATSEL:
JUST BRIEFLY FOR BREVITY SAKE, QUICK

ELEVATION OF THE TOWNHOMES AND THE MULTIFAMILY.

YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF AND YOUR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

STAFF ALL FOUND THE PROJECT CONSISTENT, AND OUR DEVELOPMENT

TEAM IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

00:09:02 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE PETITIONER?

I HAVE ONE.

PLEASE.

YOU ARE PLANNING ON GIVING THREE ACRES TO A PARK.




WHAT WOULD CHANGE IF YOU WERE GOING TO ASK IN THIS PETITION

TO BUILD ON THAT PARK?

F.A.R. CHANGE?

00:09:31 >>ELISE BATSEL:
WE WOULD STILL BE LIMITED BY THE FUTURE

LAND USE.

AS YOU KNOW, CMU-35 ALLOWS -- TO ASK FOR 35 UNITS PER ACRE

BUT WITH THE BONUS DENSE DENSITY WE COULD ASK UP FOR 35

UNITS PER ACRE SO WE WOULD PROBABLY IF WE WEREN'T DEDICATING

IT TO A PUBLIC PARK WOULD PROBABLY ASK FOR MORE DENSITY ON

THE SITE, OR SOME OTHER KIND OF USE.

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

SAME PROPERTY OWNER SO IT COMES IN TO THE PD BECAUSE IT'S

ALL ON THE SAME PROPERTY.

RATHER THAN EXCLUDING IT AND PARCELING IT OUT, IT'S ACTUALLY

ON THE SAME ZONING LOT AS THE PROPERTY THAT WE ARE

DEVELOPING AND IT WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO THE OVERALL

DEVELOPMENT.

FOR EXAMPLE, THERE ARE WALKING PATHWAYS.

I CAN TRY TO PULL THOSE UP.

THAT CONNECT SALT SHACK TO THE OTHER AREAS, AND TO THE

PUBLIC BOARDWALK.

SO WE REALLY TRIED TO INTEGRATE THAT EXISTING DEVELOPMENT

WITH THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S PROPOSED.




00:10:34 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
AGAIN, AS WITH THE PARK, IF YOU WEREN'T

INCLUDING THE SALT SHACK, WHAT WOULD CHANGE IN THE

DEVELOPMENT THAT YOU ARE PLANNING NOW?

00:10:41 >>ELISE BATSEL:
WELL, IF WE WEREN'T INCLUDING SALT SHACK WE

WOULD HAVE LESS ACREAGE TO WORK WITH.

SO WE WOULD PROBABLY JUST EXCLUDE SALT SHACK, AND THEN WE

WOULDN'T HAVE THE CONNECTIVITY OF THE BOARDWALK,

UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE WE NEED THAT PROPERTY, SALT SHACK'S

PROPERTY TO CONTINUE THAT PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY.

SO REALLY IT'S AN ADDED BENEFIT, TO SALT SHACK, I THINK, AND

ALSO THE DEVELOPMENT.

00:11:05 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
LAST QUESTION.

SO NOTHING WOULD CHANGE IN THE AMOUNT OF UNITS IN YOUR

F.A.R.?

00:11:09 >>ELISE BATSEL:
WELL, IF WE WEREN'T INCLUDING IT, WE --

FIRST OF ALL, THREE ACRE PUBLIC PARK, WE ARE NOT DEVELOPING

THAT SITE, BUT WE ARE SHIFTING UNITS.

OF COURSE WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR THE MAXIMUM DENSITY.

DOES THAT MAKE ABSENCE AM I ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION?

I FEEL LIKE I AM NOT ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION.

00:11:28 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
YOU ARE GETTING THERE, AND I CANNOT ASK FOR

CONDITIONS THAT YOU NOT BUILD ON THAT PARK BUT YOU WOULD

HAVE TO COME BACK.

00:11:36 >>ELISE BATSEL:
OH, ABSOLUTELY.

SO THAT THREE ACRE PARK IF APPROVED TONIGHT IS A THREE ACRE




PUBLIC PARK.

SO FOR US TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN USE IT AS A PARK, WE

WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK BEFORE THIS BOARD AND GET A MAJOR

MODIFICATION TO THE ZONING.

00:11:50 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT?

MS. BARNES, I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T SEE YOU.

I KNOW YOU ARE ALWAYS THERE.

00:12:32 >>ANNIE BARNES:
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.

SO MS. BATSEL BROUGHT UP THAT THERE WILL BE WORKFORCE

HOUSING.

CURRENTLY, STAFF DOES NOT HAVE AN AGREEMENT OR A NOTE ON THE

SITE PLAN TO DEFINE THAT WORKFORCE HOUSING.

SO I DON'T KNOW HOW ENFORCEABLE IT WILL BE.

I JUST WANTED TO STATE THAT ON THE RECORD.

00:13:00 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU, MS. BARNES.

DO YOU WANT TO REBUT TO THAT?

00:13:06 >>ELISE BATSEL, NO I JUST WANTED TO OFFER IF THERE'S AN

APPROPRIATE NOTE, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU NOTE WORKFORCE

HOUSING ON YOUR PLAN.

HAPPY TO PUT A NOTE THAT 30 UNITS WILL BE WORKFORCE HOUSING,

WHICH WILL BE 80 TO 100% OF THE AVERAGE MEDIAN INCOME.

THAT'S WORKFORCE HOUSING.

WE'LL ADD THAT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.

00:13:27 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
YOU CAN INCLUDE THAT IN A NOTE.




THANK YOU.

00:13:33 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
CAN WE ADDRESS THAT, IF WE CAN?

TO DO THAT ON A SITE PLAN, THE QUESTION IS, HOW IS THAT

ENFORCEABLE?

AND THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT I GUESS HASN'T REALLY BEEN

DISCUSSED UP TO THIS POINT.

00:13:50 >>CATE WELLS:
CHIEF ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY.

IT HAD NOT BEEN DISCUSSED AND THAT'S WHAT WAS ADDRESSED ON

THE SITE PLAN.

SO WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING THERE'S A DEFINITION OF 80 TO

120% AMI.

AND WE DEAL WITH ENFORCEMENT FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING WHICH IS

REQUIRED FOR A 30-YEAR PERIOD AND IT'S ENFORCED BY THE CITY

EITHER THROUGH AN AGREEMENT THAT'S NEGOTIATED BETWEEN THE

CITY AND THE APPLICANT, AND IT'S PART OF THE REZONING, OR

WHERE YOU AREN'T SEEKING AN INCREASE IN DENSITY IN EXCHANGE

FOR THAT AMENITY OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING, IT WOULD THEN BE

NOTED ON THE SITE PLAN.

BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS THAT OCCUR WITH REGARD TO

WORKFORCE HOUSING, BUT NOT A DEFINED TERM BY THE STATE OR BY

THE CITY, AND IS IT GOING TO BE ENFORCED FOR A PERIOD OF 30

YEARS?

WHAT IS THE CITY'S ROLE GOING TO BE TO ENFORCE IT?

NONE OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS HAVE OCCURRED TO DATE.

WE ARE HEARING ABOUT IT TONIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME.




00:14:50 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MS. WELLS, CAN THAT BE REVISED BETWEEN

FIRST AND SECOND READING?

00:14:58 >>CATE WELLS:
TYPICALLY BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING

CITY COUNCIL HAS ALREADY SEEN THE LANGUAGE AND KNOWS WHAT IS

GOING TO BE INCORPORATED INTO THE SITE PLAN.

THAT THE POINT WE HAVE NO LANGUAGE, AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT

WORKFORCE HOUSING ACTUALLY MEANS.

00:15:13 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
YES, MA'AM?

00:15:27 >> MY NAME IS STEPHANIE POYNOR.

YES, I HAVE BEEN SWORN.

I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASKED FOR

THIS.

THE NEIGHBORHOODS ASKED FOR THE WORKFORCE AND THE

AFFORDABLE.

AND THIS IS NOT A SECRET.

NOTHING IS TOP SECRET ABOUT THIS.

THIS HAS BEEN IN PLACE.

WE HAVE SHARED THIS WITH STAFF MEMBERS.

I'M SORRY IT DIDN'T GET TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE, BUT IT'S BEEN

SHARED, AND IT WAS DONE IN GOOD FAITH IN THE DISCUSSION.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, MS. HOWELL TOLD US ABOUT A YEAR AGO SHE

SAID THERE'S TWO WAYS WE CAN GET MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING,

PROCESS, POLICY, AND PRACTICE.

AND WE ARE HERE TO PRACTICE THIS.

THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THE NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE ASKED FOR




IT.

IT'S JUST THE FIRST TIME THAT WE COULD NOT GET THE CITY TO

TALK ABOUT THIS PROJECT WITH US.

REPEATEDLY, OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, WE ASKED MS. POST

TO SPEAK ABOUT IT, WE FINALLY TALKED TO MRS. TRAVIS ABOUT IT

ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO.

SO IF NOBODY IN THIS ROOM KNEW ABOUT IT, IT'S BECAUSE WE

WERE IGNORED OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN BY MS. POST AND BY

ADMINISTRATION.

SO THAT'S NOBODY'S FAULT, BUT THOSE PEOPLE, BECAUSE WE

ASKED.

I STOOD UP HERE IN FRONT OF COUNCIL HOW MANY TIMES AND TRIED

TO DISCUSS WHAT'S GOING ON ON RATTLESNAKE POINT.

I WAS TOTALLY OFFENDED THAT THIS CONVERSATION HAS CONTINUED.

NOW, I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.

I AM HERE TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.

WHY?

BECAUSE IT'S A BETTER PROJECT.

EVERY TIME WE HAVE EVER COME IN FRONT OF YOU, WE HAD A

HALFWAY PROJECT.

BUT TONIGHT, MS. BATSEL, SOUTHEASTERN, CAME TO US WITH A

GOOD PROJECT FROM THE START.

THERE'S NO WAIVERS.

THEY CAME IN AT THE SAME NUMBER OF DWELLING UNITS THAT

EVERYBODY ELSE HAS HAD TO WORK FOR, SPEND HUNDREDS OF




THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN FLUEDRA TO GET TO.

THEY CAME IN READY TO GO, AND READY TO DO THE RIGHT THING,

AND THE ONLY PROBLEM IN THIS HAS BEEN THE BARRIER THAT WAS

CREATED BY CITY STAFF.

AND I'M SORRY, NOW WHAT, IT JUST GOT THROWN UNDER THE BUS.

YOU CAN READ MY SPEECH.

IT HAD NOTHING TO DO ABOUT IT BUT NOW I AM A LITTLE AMISS

BECAUSE I ASKED OVER AND OVER AGAIN, WHEN MS. BATSEL

E-MAILED CAROLE POST IN AUGUST, SHE SAID, I'M SORRY, THE

CITY IS PROBABLY NOT INTERESTED, I DON'T WANT YOU SPINNING

YOUR WHEELS, AND THAT'S A QUOTE AND I GAVE IT TO EVERYBODY

UP THERE EXCEPT FOR COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK IN AN ENVELOPE WITH

A DRAFT.

ALL THIS INFORMATION THAT WAS PROBABLY 3 OR 400 PAGES WORTH

OF INFORMATION.

SO IF YOU ARE IGNORANT ABOUT IT, IT'S NOT FOR LACK OF

CARROLL ANN AND I AND THE OTHER FOLKS SOUTH OF GANDY NOT

REACHING OUT ABOUT IT.

PLEASE SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.

VOTE YES FOR IT.

00:18:31 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

00:18:32 >> MY NAME IS CARROLL ANN BENNETT.

I AM A LIFE-LONG RESIDENT OF SOUTH TAMPA.

TONIGHT I WANT TO THANK THE CITY COUNCIL AND JOHN

DINGFELDER.




I THANK YOU FOR ASKING QUESTIONS.

I THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO THE CITIZENS, FOR SAYING THE

DESERVES TOP QUALITY DEVELOPMENT AND WE WILL NOT ACCEPT

MEDIOCRITY.

I THANK YOU FOR SAYING NO.

YOU AND JOHN DINGFELDER SAID NO WHEN DEVELOPERS IGNORED

RESIDENTS WHO PROPOSED LOUSY PROJECT.

THAT COST DEVELOPERS A LOT OF MONEY BUT THEY LEARNED

QUICKLY.

THEY LEARNED TO TALK TO US AND THEY UPPED THEIR GAME.

SOUTHEASTERN HAS BROUGHT THEIR A GAME AND I SUPPORT THEIR

PROJECT BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE OUR CITY BETTER.

YOU KNOW THAT WE FOUGHT AGAINST ELIMINATING INDUSTRIAL USES

ON RATTLESNAKE POINT BECAUSE THEY PROVIDED GOOD JOBS, WHICH

ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS HOUSING.

WE FOUGHT THE DENSITY BECAUSE PEOPLE IN SOUTH TAMPA ARE

TERRIFIED OF RIDING OUT A HURRICANE IN THEIR CARS.

WE WORRIED THAT AN ACT OF TERRORISM OR IS A OH STRATEGY OF

CHEMICAL FORMULATORS COULD KILL THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.

IT IS STILL FALL I SHALL TO ELIMINATE AREAS THAT CAN CREATE

JOBS.

YOU CANNOT SOLVE THE COMPLICATED HOUSING CRISIS A SIMPLISTIC

POORLY PLANNED BUILDING FRENZY.

AND WE ARE STILL VERY WORRIED ABOUT EVACUATING MASSES OF

PEOPLE THROUGH THE MOUTH OF A COKE BOTTLE.




BUT SINCE WE CAN'T GO BACK TO 2016 AND SAVE THOSE JOBS WE

ARE FIGHTING FOR THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME.

THIS PROJECT IS THE BEST OF OUTCOMES.

I AM IMPRESSED WITH THE WILLINGNESS OF SOUTHEASTERN AND MS.

BATSEL TO SPEND SO MUCH TIME, ENERGY AND MONEY IN LISTENING

TO THE CITIZENS AND COMING UP WITH A CREATIVE PLAN.

THEY LISTENED TO OUR REQUESTS FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND ROAD IMPROVEMENTS

ON TYSON AND WESTSHORE MUST BE DONE ASAP.

WE CANNOT WAIT FOR THE CITY TO GET AROUND TO IT YEARS AND

YEARS FROM NOW.

THEY ARE REMOVING THE ENORMOUS THREAT OF HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL

PLANT AND HEAVILY POPULATED AREA.

AS A BONUS THIS MEANS THE CITY CAN TURN THE CHEMICAL

FORMULATE OR'S RAIL SPUR INTO A WALKING BIKING GREENWAY.

THEY WANT TO CREATE A BEAUTIFUL WATERFRONT PUBLIC, I

REPETITION, PUBLIC PARK.

IMAGINE PEOPLE BIKING DOWN A GREENWAY OVER TO A 2 MILE

WATERFRONT BOARDWALK.

THEY WILL SHOP, EAST AT RESTAURANTS AND WATCH THEIR KIDS

PLAY IN A PUBLIC PARK.

THE PUBLIC PARK CAN HOST CONCERTS, FOOD FESTIVALS, ART

SHOWS, MOVIES AND MORE.

IMAGINE A TROLLEY GOING FROM DOWNTOWN TO RATTLESNAKE POINTED

PROVIDING GREAT TRANSPORTATION TO EVENTS IN BOTH THE




DOWNTOWN AND IN THE POINT.

SOUTHEASTERN'S BOLD PLAN CAN CONVERT THE POINT INTO

SOMETHING SPECIAL, INTO A REAL GEM.

THEY BROUGHT YOU THE PLAN.

NOW IT'S UP TO YOU AND THE MAYOR TO THINK LONG-TERM AND BIG

PICTURE.

PLEASE APPROVE THE FIRST PIECE OF THIS VISION AND THEN GIVE

US SOMETHING SPECIAL THAT TAMPA CAN BE PROUD OF.

THANK YOU.

00:21:31 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

00:21:31 >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.

I WAS INVITED HERE BY STEPHANIE AND CARROLL ANN TO TALK

ABOUT THIS PROJECT BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL, I COME HERE WHEN I

DO BECAUSE I WANT TO SAY YES TO HOUSING, AND THEY ARE SAYING

YES TO HOUSING TODAY, SUSTAINED TRANSIT AND MOST CITIES GOT

SORT OF A THRESHOLD THAT A GOOD NUMBER FOR BUS SERVICE.

I THE OTHER THING I LIKE OF THIS PROJECT, OF COURSE I REALLY

LIKE IT BECAUSE BUT THERE'S A BIG SURFACE LOT AND NOT A

GIANT PARKING GARAGE.

MY HOPE IS ONCE SOUTH OF GANDY FIGURES OUT THE

TRANSPORTATION SITUATION WITH THE TOLL TROLLEY OR SOMETHING

THAT GIANT SURFACE LOT WILL BE CONVERTED INTO MORE HOUSING.

I THINK EVENTUALLY WIN COMPARED TO SOME OF THESE OTHER

PROJECTS, GIANT PARKING GARAGES THAT TAKE UP LAND THAT

SHOULD BE HOUSING.




MY ONLY ISSUE WITH THIS PROJECT A LITTLE BIT IS I KNOW

THERE'S A RAIL LINE THERE, AND SHE MENTIONED STREETCAR.

I KNOW THAT WE ARE VERY FAR AWAY FROM HAVING A SERIOUS

CONVERSATION ABOUT RAIL, ESPECIALLY RAIL STOPPING THERE, OF

ALL PLACES IN SOUTH TAMPA, I DON'T THINK IT WOULD STOP

THERE, BUT THERE IS RAIL THERE, AND I AM JUST CURIOUS WHAT

WILL HAPPEN TO THAT, WHETHER THAT RIGHT-OF-WAY WILL BE

PRESERVED AND THERE WILL NEVER BE HOPE OF HAVING A RAIL

STOP, LIGHT RAIL OR LOCAL TRANSIT OPTION THERE BECAUSE OF

THIS.

THAT'S REALLY MY ONLY ISSUE WITH THIS AT ALL.

I HOPE TO GET MORE DENSITY IN THE FUTURE AND I UNDERSTAND

TRANSPORTATION IS A BARRIER.

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.

MS. DENAULT, CAN YOU BE SWORN IN, PLEASE?

(OATH ADMINISTERED BY CLERK).

00:23:46 >> I DO.

00:23:49 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

PLEASE PROCEED.

00:23:51 >> MY NAME IS KALI DENAULT.




I MET WITH THE TEAM MANY TIMES.

AND WHILE THEIR FIRST PROPOSAL, THEY WERE SO WILLING TO

LISTEN TO THE ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK THAT WE HAD.

BUT NOT ASKING FOR ANY WAIVERS.

WE KNOW THAT HOUSING IS GOING TO CONTINUE IN OUR AREA AND

THIS PROJECT WITH ITS AMENITIES, THIS IS THE BEST THAT WE

ARE GOING TO SEE, AND IT'S A GOOD PROJECT.

IT'S GOING TO BRING POSITIVE CHANGE FOR THE COMMUNITY AND

ENITIES THAT WE HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR, REDEVELOPMENT TO DO

THIS, AND THEY CAME TO US FIRST AND MADE SURE THEY HAD A

SOLID PLAN.

AND WE ASK THAT YOU ALLOW THIS TO MOVE FORWARD TONIGHT.

THANK YOU.

00:24:46 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

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.

AND IT'S SO, SO LATE.

BUT REALLY QUICKLY BEFORE I START.

I AM GOING TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF ALL OF SOUTH OF GANDY, THAT

WE LOST A GREAT PERSON TODAY, LAST NIGHT, LISA CHESHIRE WHO

YOU ALL RECOGNIZED RECENTLY FOR HER TIRELESS EFFORTS IN THE

HOMELESS DOWN HERE.

SHE LOST HER LIFE TO CANCER.




I JUST WANT TO -- AGAIN SHE WAS JUST AN AWESOME PERSON AND

SHE HELPED OUT DOWN THERE WITH THE HOMELESS, AND WAS JUST AN

AZING INDIVIDUAL, AND WE ARE GOING TO MISS HER A LOT.

I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT.

OKAY.

SO WITH THAT SAID, OKAY, BACK TO THE SUBJECT.

I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A SPEECH OR ANYTHING PLANNED LIKE THAT

BUT I DID LISTEN FOR THE SIX, SEVEN HOURS TODAY, AND SPOKE

UP, OBVIOUSLY A FEW TIMES.

MY NAME IS JEAN STROBMEYER.

I HAVE BEEN HERE IN MY HOUSE FOR 30 YEARS IN GANDY.

THERE'S A FEW THINGS I TOOK FROM SOME OF THE SPEECHES FROM

THE EARLIER HARBOR ISLAND ISSUE, AND JUST --

00:26:27 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
MS. STROHMEYER, I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT.

MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY.

THAT'S A DIFFERENT HEARING ON A DIFFERENT SUBJECT AND IT'S

STILL PENDING.

MY SUGGESTION IS YOU SPEAK TO THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT,

PLEASE, AND DON'T REFERENCE --

00:26:41 >> OKAY, THANK YOU.

BUT I AM SPEAKING IN GENERAL TERMS, AND IN GENERAL TERMS, IT

WAS JUST GENERAL TERMS, IT WASN'T SPECIFICALLY.

IS IT OKAY TO BRING UP JUST A GENERAL STATEMENT THAT

SOMEBODY SAID?

SO IT WASN'T REALLY SPEAKING --




00:27:03 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
BUT THE QUESTION IS, IF YOU CAN ADDRESS

THE SUBSTANCE OF THIS HEARING AS OPPOSED TO REFERENCING

ANOTHER HEARING.

00:27:13 >> OKAY.

SO, YEAH, I GUESS SO.

SO I WAS JUST MAKING COMPARISONS.

SO THE COMPARISONS THAT I WAS MAKING, WELL, IF YOU DON'T

WANT ME TO BE BRING THAT UP, IT WILL BE FINE.

THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPER CAME TO US AFTER SEEING THE

FLUEDRA THAT WE WENT THROUGH MULTIPLE TIMES AND THIS

PARTICULAR DEVELOPER CAME TO ALL OF SOUTH OF GANDY BECAUSE

IT AFFECTS US, SO WE ARE NOT ANTI-DEVELOPMENT.

WE WERE ANTI-SUPER DEVELOPMENT.

WE ARE PRO GOOD DEVELOPMENT.

WE KNOW WHAT RATTLESNAKE POINT WAS GOING TO BE HAPPENING

WITH THAT, AND THIS DEVELOPER CAME TO US AND WE SPEAK FOR A

VERY LONG TIME.

WE HAD MULTIPLE MEETINGS AND THEY DID LISTEN TO OUR

FEEDBACK, AND WE DEEPLY APPRECIATE THAT.

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

HOUSING, I CAN SAY THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT AT

GANDY AND MANHATTAN THAT DEFINED WORKFORCE HOUSING WAS, AND

EVERYBODY WAS ALL FOR IT WHEN IT MEANT IT AT THAT LOCATION.




WE WERE BLOCKED ON THIS PROJECT MULTIPLE TIMES BY THE CITY,

AND WE REALLY ARE FOR THIS, AND WE ARE SUPPORTING THIS

PROJECT BECAUSE THEY HAVE DONE A LOT OF GOOD WORK.

THANK YOU.

00:28:51 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

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

WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO PUBLIC COMMENT?

MS. BATSEL.

00:29:04 >>ELISE BATSEL:
YES, SIR, ELISE BATSEL FOR THE RECORD, JUST

TO ADDRESS SOME COMMENTS.

THE RAIL LINE WHEN THERE ARE NO MORE INDUSTRIAL USES WE JUST

TO MEDIATE THE FARES THAT THE DEVELOP WE ARE DO SOMETHING

ELSE.

THAT'S THE CSX RAIL LINE AND WE WOULD HOPE IT WOULD GO TO

EITHER TRANSIT OR SOME KIND OF TRAIL SYSTEM.

BUT AGAIN WE DON'T OWN THAT PROPERTY.

THE SECOND THING IS, I WASN'T THINKING ABOUT THE ENFORCEMENT

OF THE WORKFORCE HOUSING.

WE DID INCORPORATE THAT INTO OUR PROJECT BACK IN MARCH AND

DID DISCUSS IT WITH STAFF, BUT I SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT

THE ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM WHICH I DID NOT DO, SO I WILL

REACH OUT AND TRY TO COME UP BETWEEN FIRST AN SECOND READING

WITH SOMETHING THAT MAKES THE CITY COMFORTABLE FROM AN




ENFORCEMENT PERSPECTIVE IF WE CAN COME UP WITH THAT.

AGAIN WE ARE NOT TALKING AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WORKFORCE HOUSING WHICH ISN'T THE SAME,

IT ISN'T DEFINED AS WELL, BUT I WILL WORK ON THAT.

THANK YOU.

00:30:05 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCILMAN

MANISCALCO.

SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN VIERA.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ANY OPPOSED?

NEXT ON OUR AGENDA IS 15, REZ 22-12.

MS. BARNES?

00:32:22 >>ANNIE BARNES:
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.

ITEM NUMBER 15 IS REZ 22-12.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO REZONE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1

TAMPA GENERAL CIRCLE AND 25 AS WELL AS 35 COLUMBIA DRIVE

FROM RS-60 AND PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR HOSPITAL AND

MEDICAL OFFICE USES.

I WILL TURN OVER THE PRESENTATION TO JENNIFER MALONE OF

PLANNING COMMISSION.

00:32:48 >>JENNIFER MALONE:
THIS IS IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING

DISTRICT ON DAVIS ISLAND, WITHIN THE DAVIS ISLANDS URBAN

VILLAGE.




THE SITE IS OUTLINED IN -- ALONG BAYSHORE BOULEVARD, MEDICAL

OFFICES ON COLUMBIA DRIVE.

FUTURE LAND USE OF THE SITE IS PUBLIC SEMI-PUBLIC.

THIS CATEGORY DOES NOT HAVE A CAP ON DENSITY OR INTENSITY,

SO THE PLAN DOES DEVELOPMENTS TO REMAIN COMPATIBLE WITH THE

SURROUNDING AREA BUT THERE IS NO VERBIAGE TECHNICALLY.

THE EXTENSION IS ON THE NORTHWESTERN MOST PORTION OF THE

SITE.

SO WE DID FIND IT WAS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA.

IT'S THE FARTHEST AWAY FROM THE RESIDENCES ON DAVIS ISLAND

AND THAT WOULD MEAN FACING THIS HIGH-RISE RESIDENTIAL

PROJECTS ON BAYSHORE BOULEVARD.

I WOULD ALSO NOTE THAT IT IS IN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA

THAT THIS IS NOT INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF DEVELOPMENT UNITS

SO IT'S -- POLICY 1.2.2.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

AGAIN I AM ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS.

I TURN IT BACK OVER TO ANNIE.

00:34:13 >>ANNIE BARNES:
I'LL SHARE MY SCREEN.

ANNIE BARNES, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION, AGAIN REZ 22-12,

REZONE FROM RS-60 AND PD TO PD FOR MEDICAL AND HOSPITAL

MEDICAL OFFICE AND HOSPITAL USES.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING ONE WAIVER.

SHOWN HERE IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY OF THE SURROUNDING

ZONING, RESIDENTIAL AND SOME COMMERCIAL IN THE AREA.




THIS IS A PORTION OF THE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT

SHOWING THE OVERALL LAYOUT OF THE SITE.

AS WELL AS EXISTING ELEVATIONS WITH PROPOSED ELEVATIONS.

AND THESE ARE ARCHITECTURES -- PICTURES TAKEN FROM THE SITE

VISIT OF THE HOSPITAL.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE

APPLICATION AND FIND THE OVERALL REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE

CITY OF TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN MUST BE COMPLETED BY THE

APPLICANT IN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING OF THE

ORDINANCE.

IF APPROVING THE APPLICATION.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

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

GENERAL HOSPITAL.

WITH ME IS DUSTIN PASTEUR, SHIRLEY EGAN, RANDY COEN, AND HE

THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO BE HERE TO SHOW HIS RESPECT TO

COUNCIL.

WE HAVE A FULL PRESENTATION.

I AM GOING TO REDUCE IT DOWN TO A COUPLE OF SLIDES, AND THEN

DUSTIN HAS A MINUTE OR TWO AS WELL.

THIS IS TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL IN ITS INFANCY, 1928, AND AS

TAMPA HAS GROWN, SO HAS GROWN THE HOSPITAL.




THIS IS TODAY IN ITS CURRENT FORM.

AND WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR ZA IS NOT TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF

THE PROPERTY AT ALL BUT SOLELY RELATED TO THIS BUILDING

RIGHT HERE ALONG THE CHANNEL, CALLED THE BAYSHORE PAVILION

BUILDING.

AS ANNIE SHOWED, AGAIN THAT'S THE BAYSHORE PAVILION AND

BIRD'S-EYE VIEW, AND OUR PROPOSAL IS TO GO UP FOUR STORIES

THERE, AND AS IT RELATES TO DEPARTMENTS FOUND IT TO BE FULLY

SQUINT.

WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT OVER TO DUSTIN TO TALK ABOUT THEIR

NEEDS.

00:37:02 >>DUSTIN PASTEUR:
GOOD MORNING.

HAPPY FRIDAY.

JUSTIN PASTEUR, SENIOR DIRECTOR OF DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION,

AN ARCHITECT FOR THE HOSPITAL.

THIS IS THE BUILDING IN QUESTION, AS TRUETT POINTED OUT.

WE ARE PROPOSING TO ADD FOUR STORIES VERTICALLY ON THIS

BUILDING.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE BUILDING WAS BUILT IN 2006 AND IT WAS

DESIGNED FOR THIS EXPANSION, SO THIS IS ALWAYS PART OF OUR

PLAN BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE IN OUR PD AND

THAT'S WHAT WE ARE HERE ASKING FOR.

THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT WE ARE

PROPOSING.

WE ARE ASKING FOR THREE FLOORS OF PATIENT CARE, TWO OF THOSE




FLOORS WILL BE BED UNITS, 50 BEDS PER FLOOR.

THE ACUITY ADAPTIVE COULD BE ICU, MED SURGE LEVEL, CAN

CHANGE THEM OVER TIME AS OUR NEEDS CHANGE, AND THEN THE TOP

FLOOR WOULD BE AN OPERATING SUITE.

THEN ON THE ROOF OF THAT WE HAVE AN EDUCATION SPACE AND A

PENTHOUSE.

TOTAL IS ABOUT 265,000 SQUARE FEET, $240 MILLION PROJECT, OR

IT WAS A COUPLE YEARS AGO BEFORE ALL THE INFLATION.

VERY QUICKLY, JUST THE NEED, MOST OF THE COUNTRY HAS

ACTUALLY SHOWN A REDUCTION IN HOSPITAL USES, AS PROCEDURES

ARE BEING DONE IN OUTPATIENT SETTINGS.

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY IS ONE OF THE FEW COUNTIES IN THE WHOLE

COUNTRY SHOWING A GROWTH IN POPULATION AND THUS THE GROWTH

IN HOSPITAL USAGE AND THIS GRAPH WHICH IS HARD TO READ IS

BASICALLY SAYING THAT'S OCCURRING IN EVERY AGE GROUP IN

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, AND THAT'S BEEN AFFECTING US FOR MANY

YEARS.

WE USED TO HAVE WHAT IS CALLED SEASONALITY, AND CENSUS WHERE

WE WOULD HAVE HIGH SEASONS AND LOW SEASONS OF BED USAGE.

WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT FOR FIVE YEARS.

WE HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY FULL FOR THAT TIME AND SINCE COVID

HAS BEEN EVEN WORSE.

THIS IS JUST A CHART SHOWING WE HAVE 1040 BEDS TODAY.

WE JUST ADDED 32 BEDS EARLIER THIS YEAR TO HELP THIS

DEFICIT.




THERE'S THREE DIFFERENT ADVISORY BOARDS. BASICALLY THEY ALL

SAY WE NEED BETWEEN 150 AND 250 BEDS OVER THE NEXT TEN

YEARS.

WE BUILT 32.

THIS IS WILL GIVE US 100 MORE SO A LOT CLOSER TO THAT GOAL.

AND THEN IN THE SAME VEIN, THE PROJECTIONS SHOW WE NEED TEN

MORE OPERATING ROOMS THAN WE HAVE TODAY, AND THIS WOULD ADD

12.

SO THAT WOULD GIVE US FUTURE GROWTH.

I THINK THE MAIN COMMENTS THAT I WANTED TO ADDRESS, WE MET

WITH THE DAVIS ISLAND CIVIC ASSOCIATION A FEW TIMES, AND WE

MET WITH BAYSHORE WHICH IS THE CONDO BUILDING DIRECTLY

ACROSS THE CHANNEL FROM US.

SOME OF THE MAIN CONCERNS WERE TRAFFIC, OF COURSE, ON THE

ISLAND.

RANDY COEN IS HERE TO SPEAK ON TRAFFIC IF YOU HAVE

QUESTIONS, BUT RANDY RAN A STUDY, AND IT REALLY SHOWS NO

REAL CHANGE TO OUR TRAFFIC COUNT, MINIMAL IMPACT, BECAUSE WE

CAN'T ADD ANY MORE PARKING TO OUR SITE.

WE ARE MAXED OUT ON PARKING.

YOU GUYS MAY HAVE SEEN OUR PARKING GARAGE.

WE BUILT A NEW CENTER ACROSS FROM U.T. WHERE A THOUSAND OF

OUR STAFF MEMBERS PARK EVERY DAY.

THE EXTRA PATIENTS THAT COME ONTO THE PROPERTY FOR THIS

EXPANSION WILL PARK IN THE GARAGE ON CAMPUS, AND THAT NUMBER




OF STAFF WILL MOVE TO THAT GARAGE ON-SITE, SO THE ONLY

TRAFFIC IMPACT IS OUR BUSES THAT GO BACK AND FORTH EVERY

DAY.

WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE A COUPLE MORE TRIPS BUT THAT WON'T

INVOLVE CAR TRIPS BECAUSE THERE'S NOWHERE ELSE TO PUT CARS

ON THE PROPERTY.

THE OTHER MAIN CONCERN WAS THE SEAWALL AND THE PUBLIC PARK

WE HAVE AROUND OUR PERIMETER WILL BE THERE WHEN THE PROJECT

IS OVER.

WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE ONE OF THEM DURING THE PROJECT AND WE

WILL REBUILD IT AFTERWARD, AND THE COMMUNITY IS HAPPY WITH

THAT.

I THINK THE LAST POINT IS THAT WE WILL USE THESE BEDS TO

HELP EXPAND OUR CAPACITY, BUT WE DETERMINE THAT THESE BEDS

WILL PRIMARILY SUPPORT OUR TRANSPLANT PROGRAM WHICH IS THE

SECOND BUSIEST TRANSPLANT PROGRAM IN AMERICA, AND

NEUROSCIENCES INSTITUTE WHICH IS A WORLD CLASS INSTITUTE

THAT WE DO JOINTLY WITH USF.

SO THESE WILL BE VERY HIGH ACUITY PATIENT BEDS THAT ARE

DESPERATELY NEEDED AND WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR APPROVAL AND

WE ARE HERE FOR QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU.

00:41:29 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANY QUESTIONS OF THE PETITIONER?

I JUST HAVE ONE.

I SAW ON THE PLANS THAT YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE HELIPORT ON




THE TOP OF THIS.

DOES THAT MEAN THAT THE HELIPORT ON GROUND LEVEL WILL BE

DISCONTINUED?

00:41:49 >> NO, WE ELIMINATED THE HELIPORT ON THE ROOF MOSTLY BECAUSE

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AN EDUCATION SPACE UP THERE, SO

HELICOPTER LANDING NEXT TO IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T WORK OUT,

AND WE ARE GOING TO LEAVE THE HELIPAD ON THE GROUND LEVEL

WHERE IT IS NOW, AND IF WE EVER WERE TO ADDRESS THAT IN THE

FUTURE --

00:42:13 >> ARE THERE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT MORE ECHOING OF THE

HELICOPTERS?

00:42:19 >>DUSTIN PASTEUR:
THIS BUILDING IS ALREADY A SIX STORY

BUILDING, SEVEN STORIES WITH THE PENTHOUSES, AND THIS WILL

ADD FOUR STORIES TO IT, BUT IT ACTUALLY WON'T BE ANY

SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THE TALLEST BUILDING ON CAMPUS

NOW, WHICH IS THE BRICK WEST PAVILION THAT YOU CAN SEE.

THIS BUILDING WILL SHIELD THE VIEW OF THAT BUILDING SO MAKE

A NICER FACE.

IT WILL BE GENERALLY THE SAME HEIGHT, MIGHT BE 10 OR 15 FEET

TALLER, BUT AT 10 STORIES THAT'S A MINIMAL DIFFERENCE.

SO THE AMOUNT OF BUILDING THAT'S THERE TO REFLECT THAT SOUND

TODAY AND ESSENTIALLY THE SAME HEIGHT AS WHAT WE WILL BE

BUILDING ON THIS BUILDING.

00:42:54 >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?




THANK YOU.

IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT?

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?

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

HOSPITAL.

I WANTED TO COME TONIGHT, AS TRUETT SAID, TO SHOW SOME REAL

RESPECT FOR ALL OF YOU BUT ALSO OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS

CITY RUNS VERY DEEP.

THE TEAM AT TAMPA GENERAL IS VERY PROUD OF THE RELATIONSHIP

WE HAVE WITH THE CITY.

WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

COVID HAS BEEN A DIFFICULT COUPLE OF YEARS.

THIS EXPANSION IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT NOT JUST TO TAMPA

GENERAL BUT TO THE CITY OF TAMPA, INTO OUR REGION AND TO THE

STATE OF FLORIDA.

FIRST AND FOREMOST, WE ARE THE CITY'S HOSPITAL, WE ARE THE

REGION'S HOSPITAL, BUT ALSO THE STATE OF FLORIDA'S HOSPITAL,

WHICH OUR ACADEMIC PARTNERSHIP WITH USF, MORSANI COLLEGE OF

MEDICINE, WE ARE EXPANDING, GROWING, AND THAT IS GOOD FOR

THE REGION, GOOD FOR THE CITY, GOOD FOR THE STATE.




ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE TEAM I WANTED TO ADDRESS ALL OF YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
