TURN IT OVER TO DANNY NOW.
5:12:21PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.

THIS IS DANNY COLINS WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
I WAS SWORN IN.
FIRST CASE IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT, WITHIN
THE EAST TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE.
IT'S WITHIN THE EVACUATION ZONE E.
HERE IS AN AERIAL MAP OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND THE
SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.
YOU'LL SEE THE SUBJECT SITE IS GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE
NORTHEAST CORNER OF NORTH 37th STREET AND MLK BOULEVARD.
THERE IS A RESTAURANT DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTH OF THE SITE,
FURTHER SOUTH IS THE CHURCH.
WE HAVE SOME LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES JUST TO THE SOUTHEAST OF
THE SITE, WEST OF THE SITE ALONG MLK WE HAVE SOME
RESIDENTIAL HOMES.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS RECOGNIZED UNDER THE COMMUNITY
COMMERCIAL 35 DESIGNATION, SO THAT IS A CATEGORY THAT
ENCOURAGES MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT.
TYPICALLY UP TO 35 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE OR UP TO 2.0
F.A.R.
DIRECTLY TO THE NORTH, WE HAVE PARCELS RECOGNIZED UNDER THE
RESIDENTIAL 10 DESIGNATION.
CC-35 IS PREDOMINANTLY FOUND ALONG MLK WHERE IT TRANSITIONS
TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AS YOU MOVE EAST ALONG MLK.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A CONGREGATE LIVING FACILITY
WHICH CAN BE CONSIDERED UNDER THE CC-35 DESIGNATION.

HOUSING POLICY 1.7.2 ALLOWS THE APPLICANT TO UTILIZE FLOOR
AREA RATIO FOR SUCH FACILITIES.
THE APPLICANT HAS ENTERED INTO A BONUS PROVISION AGREEMENT
TO ALLOW FOR 1.1 F.A.R. ON THE SITE.
THE PROPOSED PD ALIGNS WITH THE CC-35 DESIGNATIONS BY
PROMOTING A MIXTURE OF USES WITHIN MIXED USE CENTERS AND
CORRIDORS.
THE DESIGN EMPHASIZES PEDESTRIAN ACCESSIBILITY AND INCLUDES
BUFFERS TO REDUCE IMPACTS ON NEARBY RESIDENTIAL AREAS.
IT IS CONSISTENT WITH SEVERAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES,
INCLUDING THOSE FOCUSED ON NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY,
PROVIDING TRANSITIONS IN DENSITIES AND PROXIMITY TO MEDICAL
SERVICES.
WHILE THE SITE IS APPROXIMATELY 4.3 MILES FROM ST. JOE'S
HOSPITAL, IT IS LOCATED NEAR HART RAIL 32 AND HAS ACCESS TO
BOTH INTERSTATE 275 TO THE WEST AND INTERSTATE 4 TO THE
SOUTH.
ADDITIONALLY, THE REQUEST WOULD EXPAND THE SUPPLY OF HOUSING
THAT IS ACCESSIBLE TO PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, CONSISTENT
WITH HOUSING POLICY 1.6.7.
IN CONCLUSION, PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS COMPARABLE AND
COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN,
CONSISTENT WITH THE LONG-RANGE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN
ANTICIPATED UNDER THE CC-35 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF

FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

THIS IS LOOKING NORTH FROM THE UNIMPROVED ALLEY AT THE
SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
THE SUBJECT SITE WOULD BE BEHIND ME.
NOW WE'RE MOVING SOUTH ON NORTH 37th STREET AWAY FROM THE

HOMES.
NOW WE'RE LOOKING WEST ON MLK BOULEVARD, SO THIS IS WEST OF

I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
5:19:57PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE GENTLEMAN?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
DO WE HAVE AN APPLICANT FOR THIS ITEM?
ITEM NUMBER 1?
HELLO, SIR.
PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
5:20:13PM >> MY NAME IS ALVARO RODRIGUEZ.
I AM THE ARCHITECT ON THE PROJECT.
MOST OF THE INFORMATION THAT THEY ALREADY SHOW US IS THE
INFORMATION THAT I BASICALLY I SUPPOSED TO DISCUSS WITH YOU.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT MAKES SENSE TO REPEAT THAT INFORMATION
AGAIN.
BUT I HAD SEVERAL MEETINGS WITH ALL THE DEPARTMENTS, WITH
THE TRANSPORTATION, WITH LANDSCAPING, WITH THE F.D.O.T.,
WITH THE ROADS, AND I ONLY HAVE APPROVAL EVERYBODY.
THE TRANSITION OF THE PROJECT I THINK IS REALLY NICE BECAUSE

WE WOULD HAVE A TRANSITION BETWEEN INDUSTRIAL COMMERCIAL,
RESIDENTIAL.
AND THE SETBACK THAT WE HAVE ON THE RS 50 THAT IS BETWEEN
THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY IS 20 FEET -- 19 FEET SETBACK
PLUS 14 FEET OF THE ALLEY, AND THAT WOULD BE A REALLY NICE
BUFFER BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL IN THE BACK AND THE ASSISTED
LIVING FACILITY AT THE FRONT.
I AM CONFIDENT THAT THIS PROJECT WILL IMPROVE THAT AREA.
I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
5:21:19PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT?
YES, MA'AM.
5:21:24PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WE'VE GOTTEN SOME E-MAILS ABOUT THIS, AND
THIS IS NOT AN APARTMENT COMPLEX, CORRECT?
5:21:28PM >> NO, NO.
THIS IS AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY.
5:21:30PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THIS IS AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY.
SO THAT'S WHY THERE'S ONLY 24 PARKING SPACES REQUIRED
BECAUSE THOSE FOLKS BY AND LARGE DON'T HAVE CARS.
5:21:38PM >> EXACTLY.
USUALLY THE PEOPLE MOVE THERE ARE ELDERLY PEOPLE THAT LIVE
THERE AND THEY HAVE 24-HOUR CARE INSIDE THE FACILITY.
5:21:48PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE CLARIFIED THAT
FOR THE PUBLIC.
5:21:52PM >> YES, MA'AM.
5:21:52PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:

5:23:57PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:

5:24:06PM >>DANNY COLLINS:
DANNY COLLINS, AGAIN WITH YOUR PLANNING
COMMISSION STAFF.
I WAS SWORN IN.
OUR NEXT CASE IS IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT,
SPECIFICALLY THE SOUTH HOWARD NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT IS WITHIN EVACUATION ZONE C.
HERE IS AN AERIAL MAP OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND THE
SURROUNDING PROPERTY.
YOU'LL SEE IT IS LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF WEST
PLATT STREET AND SOUTH HOWARD AVENUE.
THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IS PREDOMINANTLY
NONRESIDENTIAL IN CHARACTER.
THERE ARE SEVERAL RESTAURANT AND BARS LOCATED ALONG THIS
PORTION OF SOUTH HOWARD AVENUE.
THERE IS ALSO SOME OFFICES THAT ARE LOCATED IN THE VICINITY
OF THE SITE.
JUST FOR REFERENCE, THIS IS THE PUBLIX ON ARMENIA AVENUE.
HERE IS -- THIS IS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SUBJECT SITE AND PORTIONS OF SOUTH

HOWARD AND WEST PLATT ARE RECOGNIZED UNDER THE COMMUNITY
MIXED USE 35 DESIGNATION, WHICH ENCOURAGES MIXED USE
DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, TYPICALLY UP TO 35 DWELLING UNITS PER
ACRE, 2.0 F.A.R.
DIRECTLY TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE SITE ARE PARCELS RECOGNIZED
UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL 35, AND THEN OVER HERE, THIS BROWNISH
COLOR, PARCELS RECOGNIZED UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL 20
DESIGNATION.
THE PD IS A REQUEST TO ALLOW ALL CG USES ON THE SITE.
CG USES CAN BE CONSIDERED WITHIN THE CMU 35 DESIGNATION.
AFTER REVIEWING THE SURROUNDING AREA, PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF FINDS THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ALIGNS WITH THE
EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, WHICH INCLUDES A MIXTURE OF
OFFICE AND LIGHT COMMERCIAL USES.
THE PROPOSED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT INCLUDES A 58 -- 5,818
SQUARE FOOT BUILDING DEVELOPED AT A .4 F.A.R. CONSISTENT
WITH THE INTENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE CMU 35 DESIGNATION.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REQUESTS THAT IF APPROVED, THE

SECOND READINGS.
THE PROPOSAL IS CONSISTENT WITH SEVERAL POLICIES IN THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS IT RELATES TO DEVELOPMENT WITHIN MIXED
USE CENTERS AND CORRIDORS.
THE PD PROMOTES A PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT WITH
BUILDING ENTRANCES ALONG SOUTH HOWARD AVENUE AND WEST PLATT

STREET.
SIDEWALKS ARE ALSO INCLUDED ALONG BOTH ROADWAYS.
FURTHERMORE, THE COMP PLAN ENCOURAGES THE USE OF ALLEYS FOR
ACCESS.
PROPOSED PD WILL CONTINUE UTILIZATION OF THE ALLEY TO THE
WEST, PRESERVING THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AND CONTRIBUTING TO THE
SAFER AND MORE PLEASANT STREETSCAPE FOR PEDESTRIANS.
IN CONCLUSION, THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS COMPATIBLE WITH
THE SURROUNDING AREA AND ALIGNS WITH THE LONG-TERM

BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA

REQUESTED USE OF COMMERCIAL GENERAL PROVIDES AN APPROPRIATE
INFILL.
HERE IS THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.
THE APPLICANT IS KEEPING THE EXISTING ONE-STORY COMMERCIAL
BUILDING ON-SITE AND NOT PROPOSING ANY CHANGES TO THE
BUILDING.
THE BUILDING WILL REMAIN AS IT IS.

SO WHY A PD?
MAYBE THE APPLICANT WILL ANSWER THAT QUESTION?
5:31:02PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
HELLO, SIR.
PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
5:31:08PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
STEVE MICHELINI, REPRESENTING THE
PETITIONER.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE STAFF AND ALSO WITH THIS
PARTICULAR SITE FOR A LITTLE OVER EIGHT TO TEN MONTHS TRYING

TO GET PERMITS FOR SMALL-SCALE COMMERCIAL USE.
AND WE CAN'T GET THEM BECAUSE THE SITE SIMPLY DOESN'T
COMPLY.
OVER THE COURSE OF YEARS, THE CITY HAS TAKEN RIGHT-OF-WAY
FROM BOTH PLATT STREET AND HOWARD AND ELIMINATED ALL THE
PARKING THAT WE DID HAVE ALONG HOWARD.
IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT AREA TO TRY TO DEAL WITH.
SO WE'RE ALSO LIMITING THE REQUEST TO THE ONE-STORY
REMAINING SO THAT YOU WILL ONLY HAVE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF
THE 5800 SQUARE FEET IS ALL THAT WILL EVER BE ALLOWED.
AND THE TYPES OF USES THAT THEY WERE LOOKING AT WERE LIKE A
SMOOTHIE SHOP, A DOUGHNUT SHOP, THINGS LIKE THAT.
BUT WHEN YOU GO IN FOR PERMITTING, YOU SIMPLY CAN'T MEET THE
CODE.
THE BUILDING IS BUILT BASICALLY AT ZERO LOT LINE, EXCEPT ON
ONE SIDE, WHICH IS THREE FEET.
AND THERE'S NO OTHER WAY.
YOU CAN'T MEET WITH THE CG SETBACK REQUIREMENTS.
AND I THINK THE STAFF SHOWED YOU THE SITE PLAN.
THE CITY IS ALSO ASKING FOR US TO GIVE UP SOME AREA AT THIS
CORNER FOR A SIGNAL BOX, WHICH FURTHER CONSTRAINS OUR SITE.
THIS IS THE EXISTING PARKING LOT AND IT FUNCTIONS AS A LOW
INTENSIVE COMMERCIAL BUILDING.
THIS IS THE VIEW.
THESE PARKING SPACES WERE JUST REMOVED BY THE CITY, SO THAT

CONTINUES TO CAUSE US ADDITIONAL ISSUES.
AND YOU CAN LOOK AT THIS PICTURE, YOU CAN SEE THE BUILDING
BASICALLY IS RIGHT ON THE SIDEWALK.
AND WE HAVE UTILIZED THE ALLEY FOR ACCESS, AND WE ARE ABLE
TO USE THESE TWO SPACES.
WE'LL HAVE TO REMOVE ONE OF THEM WHEN WE MEET THE HANDICAP
CODE.
SO THAT'S WHY THE REDUCTION WAS DOWN TO 11.
SO WE'VE LOST ONE OF THEM.
THIS IS THE AERIAL VIEW.
YOU CAN SEE THE BUILDING IS RIGHT UP ON THE SIDEWALK ON
HOWARD.
I ALSO JUST SHOWED YOU PLATT STREET.
THIS IS THE VIEW OF THE PARKING LOT.
AND THIS DRIVEWAY WILL BE REDEVELOPED AND RECONSTRUCTED TO
MEET THE CURRENT CITY CODE.
THIS IS A VIEW LOOKING WEST AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE
BUILDING.
AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE PARKING SPACES USED TO BE AND NOW
WE'VE BEEN REQUIRED TO REMOVE ALL OF THEM AND THEN A SIGNAL
BOX REQUESTED BY THE CITY WILL WE'LL DONATE PROPERTY --
WHICH WE'LL DONATE PROPERTY TO FOR THAT.
BASICALLY, WE ARE SITE CONSTRAINED, BUT WHAT'S LACKING ON
SOUTH HOWARD IS THE SMALL COMMERCIAL USES LIKE THE PERSONAL
SERVICES AND ALSO THINGS LIKE I MENTIONED, THE DOUGHNUT SHOP

AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
ANYWAY, WE ARE SEVERELY SITE CONSTRAINED.
WE'RE NOT ASKING TO EXPAND THE BUILDING ON THE USE.
WE SIMPLY WANT TO VEST THE CG USES WHICH WE CURRENTLY HAVE
UNDER THE CG ZONING AND ALLOW THE SETBACKS THAT WE HAVE TO
BE CONSISTENT WITH THE CODE.
THE BUILDING WAS BUILT IN 1950, AND THIS PROPERTY OWNER IS
AN ELDERLY WOMAN WHO HAS OWNED THE BUILDING SINCE IT WAS
FIRST BUILT.
I'LL ENTER THIS INTO THE RECORD.
SAYS I'M APPLYING FOR THE REZONING AT 223 SOUTH HOWARD SO
I'M ABLE TO LEASE THE PROPERTY.
AS I'VE SAID, WE'VE HAD EXTREME DIFFICULTIES IN LEASING.
WE CAN'T GET PAST THE PERMITTING STAGE.
WE'D LIKE TO USE A COFFEE SHOP OR NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE RETAIL.
THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN IN MY FAMILY SINCE 1950.
I'M NOT PLANNING TO SELL THE BUILDING OR DO ANY LARGE
RECONSTRUCTION.
IN THE EVENT THAT WE CAME BACK TO YOU WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT
PLAN, WE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK FOR ANOTHER REZONING.
THAT'S WHY WE'VE LOCKED IT IN AT THE SINGLE STORY AND
EXISTING SQUARE FOOTAGE.
I'D LIKE TO RENT THE PROPERTY TO A SMALL BUSINESS FOR USE OF
RETAIL SUCH AS COFFEE SHOP, FLOWER SHOP, SMOOTHIE STORE.
UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO THE CURRENT ZONING OF THE BUILDING AND

THE PARKING, I'VE BEEN PREVENTED FROM LEASING IT.
THAT HAS CAUSED GREAT HARDSHIP ON MY FAMILY AS I'M GETTING
OLDER AND HEALTH HAS BEEN IN DECLINE.
STRESS AND ALSO OF INCOME PUT AN ADDITIONAL TOLL ON MY
HEALTH.
NO LONGER ABLE TO LIVE IN THE HOME I'VE BEEN IN 40 YEARS
FROM DAMAGE FROM THE HURRICANES.
I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL.
AGAIN, WE WERE NOT PUSHING THE ENVELOPE ON THIS.
WE ARE SIMPLY TRYING TO ELIMINATE THE DIFFICULTY IN LEASES.
YOU SEE THE LEASING SIGNS UP THERE.
WE'VE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE INQUIRE ABOUT THE LEASE.
SIMPLY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT.
WITH RESPECT TO SELF-CREATED HARDSHIP, WE DID NOT CREATE
THAT HARDSHIP AND THE WAIVERS WERE JUSTIFIED BECAUSE THE
PARKING EXISTS AND WE HAVE NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE IN ORDER TO
TRY TO PLAN TO ADDRESS ADDITIONAL PARKING.
WITH RESPECT TO THE SETBACKS, THE BUILDING EXISTS AS IT IS.
WE'RE NOT PLANNING ANY EXPANSION OF THAT BUILDING.
SO, THEREFORE, THAT WAIVER SHOULD BE REASONABLY -- SHOULD BE
REASONABLE.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS FOUND IT TO BE CONSISTENT.
CITY STAFF HAS FOUND IT TO BE CONSISTENT EXCEPT FOR THE
DEGREE OF THE WAIVERS FOR THE PARKING.
HOWEVER, WE HAVE NO OTHER WAY OF MEETING THAT.

WE ARE IN TWO TRANSIT CORRIDORS, BOTH HOWARD AND PLATT AND
WE'RE LOOKING FOR, WITH NO EXPANSION, LIMITED TO SINGLE
STORY IN THE 5800 SQUARE FEET THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS.
WE'RE REDESIGNING THE HANDICAP SPACES SO THEY'LL MEET
CURRENT CODE, AND WE'RE PROVIDING ADDITIONAL PROPERTY TO THE
CITY FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT THE CORNER OF PLATT AND
HOWARD.
I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
WE WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE AND FILE THE PLANNING COMMISSION
REPORT FINDING IT CONSISTENT AND THE CITY'S REPORT AS WELL.
I BELIEVE THAT I HAVE GONE THROUGH ALL THE CRITERIA REQUIRED
FOR A PD AND EXPLAINED WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR THAT VERSUS A
STRAIGHT -- LEAVING THE CG AS IT IS.
5:37:40PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ITEM?

5:39:14PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:

5:39:15PM >>LUIS VIERA:
THANK YOU.
THERE'S SOMETHING WITH MY CONNECTION WHERE IT TELLS ME THAT
I HAVE TO TURN MY CAMERA OFF SOMETIMES.
I SHOULD HAVE IT ON 90% OF THE TIME, BUT IF IT IS OFF,
THAT'S WHY IT IS OFF.
I HAD TO DO THAT BEFORE WHATEVER.
JUST FYI.
IF THAT MADE ANY SENSE.
5:39:40PM >> GOOD EVENING, CHRIS, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
AGENDA ITEM 4 IS REZ-24-92.
REQUEST TO REZONE 4015 EAST 11th AVENUE FROM RM 16
RESIDENTIAL MULTIPLE FAMILY TO CI, COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE.
I'LL TURN IT OVER NOW TO DANNY COLLINS WITH PLANNING
COMMISSION.
5:40:07PM >>DANNY COLLINS:
DANNY COLLINS WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF.
I WAS SWORN IN.
OUR NEXT CASE IS IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS IN EVACUATION ZONE E.
THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE HERE.

IT IS OUTLINED IN THE COLOR PURPLE.
IT'S JUST TO THE EAST OF NORTH 40th STREET.
SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IS
PREDOMINANTLY COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE WITH SOME LIGHT
INDUSTRIAL USES.
I DO WANT TO NOTE THERE ARE SOME RESIDENCES TO THE EAST OF
THE SITE.
HERE.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS RECOGNIZED UNDER THE TRANSITIONAL USE 24
DESIGNATION, SO THAT CATEGORY ALLOWS FOR A RANGE OF USES,
ANYTHING FROM RESIDENTIAL ALL THE WAY UP TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL
TYPE USES.
THAT DESIGNATION SURROUNDS THE SUBJECT SITE ON ALL SIDES.
SOUTH OF 10th AVENUE, GRAY COLOR REPRESENTS LANDS
RECOGNIZED UNDER THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DESIGNATION.
PROPOSED CI ZONING DISTRICT CAN BE CONSIDERED IN THE TU 24
DESIGNATION, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CONSISTENCY MATRIX
IN SECTION 27-21 OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
SINCE 2016, THREE REZONING REQUESTS WITHIN A QUARTER-MILE
RADIUS HAVE BEEN APPROVED FROM RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL
ZONING, REFLECTING A SHIFT TOWARD NONRESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
IN THE AREA.
PROPOSED CI ZONING IS APPROPRIATE FOR THIS SITE, PROVIDED
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT MITIGATES POTENTIAL IMPACTS ON NEARBY

RESIDENCES, BUFFERING, SCALE, AND DESIGN.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROMOTES A MIX OF USES, EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITIES, AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT WHILE ENSURING
COMPATIBILITY WITH RESIDENTIAL AREAS THROUGH CONTEXT
SENSITIVE DESIGN TRANSITIONS.
CONSIDERING THE EXISTING ZONING DISTRICT SURROUNDING THE
SITE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EMPHASIS ON COMPATIBILITY, THE
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS DETERMINED THAT THE PROPOSED
CI ZONING IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THE
AREA.
THE REZONING WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR INFILL DEVELOPMENT,
REDEVELOPMENT OF THE VACANT SITE IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
IN CONCLUSION, THE PROPOSED CI ZONING DISTRICT WOULD ALLOW
FOR DEVELOPMENT THAT IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE
CHARACTER OF THE SURROUNDING AREA AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ANTICIPATED UNDER THE TU-24 DESIGNATION.
BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
5:42:35PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ANY QUESTIONS?
NO.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YES, SIR.
COME ON BACK UP.
5:42:41PM >> FOR THE RECORD, CHRIS DEMANCHE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
WE'LL START WITH AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IN THE
SURROUNDING AREA.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED IN RED.
LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF EAST 11th AVENUE.
IT'S WITHIN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF EAST 12th AVENUE TO
THE EAST 10th AVENUE TO THE SOUTH, NORTH 43rd STREET TO
THE EAST, AND NORTH 40th STREET TO THE WEST.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS UNDEVELOPED.
IT'S CURRENTLY USED FOR COMMERCIAL PARKING.
SURROUNDING AREA IS CHARACTERIZED BY A MIXTURE OF WAREHOUSE
USES, COMMERCIAL PARKING, OPEN STORAGE USES AND A
SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI DETACHED DWELLING TO THE SOUTH.
SO THE WAREHOUSE USE, COMMERCIAL PARKING TO THE NORTH,
THERE'S WAREHOUSE USES TO THE SOUTH.
THERE IS A SEMI-DETACHED DWELLING IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF THE
SUBJECT PROPERTY.
TO THE EAST WE HAVE OPEN PARKING AND TO THE WEST THE SUBJECT
PROPERTY IS COMMERCIAL PARKING.
ADJACENT PARCELS ARE ZONED CG COMMERCIAL GENERAL.
CI COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE, IG INDUSTRIAL GENERAL AND RM 16
RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY.
-- MULTIPLE FAMILY.

NEXT WE HAVE A SURVEY OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY OUTLINED IN
YELLOW.
AS MENTIONED, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH
SIDE OF EAST 11th AVENUE.
IT DOES, IN FACT, HAVE A TOTAL OF 324 FEET OF STREET
FRONTAGE.
GIVEN THE SURROUNDING USES, THE REQUESTED USE OF CI
COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE ZONING IS APPROPRIATE IN LOCATION AND
PROVIDES AN APPROPRIATE TRANSITION WITH SURROUNDING PARCELS.
SINCE THIS IS A EUCLIDEAN REZONING, THERE IS NO SITE PLAN OR
ELEVATIONS TO SHOW.
WE DO HAVE SOME PHOTOS.
THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE SUBJECT SITE FROM EAST 11th AVENUE.
ANOTHER PHOTO FROM EAST 11th AVENUE, THIS LOOKING TOWARDS
THE SITE, THE WESTERN HALF OF THE SITE.
LOOKING NORTH ACROSS EAST 11th AVENUE.
ANOTHER PHOTO LOOKING NORTH ACROSS EAST 11th AVENUE.
THIS IS SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, EAST 10th AVENUE,
SHOWING THAT SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED DWELLING.
THIS IS THE VACANT PARCEL ADJACENT TO THE SINGLE-FAMILY
DETACHED DWELLING, SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
EAST OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
THIS IS LOOKING WEST OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION AND COMPLIANCE STAFF HAVE REVIEWED
THE APPLICATION AND FIND THE REQUEST TO BE CONSISTENT WITH

THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
5:45:51PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ANY QUESTIONS?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
APPLICANT.
HELLO, SIR.
PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
5:45:58PM >> TOWNSEND BELT ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT.
REQUEST TO CHANGE ZONING FROM RM 16 TO COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE,
AND THERE'S REALLY BEEN NO INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY AS FAR
AS IT SITS RIGHT NOW AT RM 16.
IT'S ONE OF A FEW SPECKS OF RESIDENTIAL AMONG, REMOTE
ISLANDS IN A SEA OF COMMERCIAL ALL AROUND IT.
THERE'S REALLY NO INTEREST IN DEVELOPING AS RESIDENTIAL.
SO THE REQUEST IS MADE TO CHANGE THE ZONING OR REZONE IT TO
COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE SO THAT IT CAN HOPEFULLY BE DEVELOPED
FOR A POTENTIAL TENANT DOWN THE ROAD CONSISTENT WITH THE USE
OF THE OTHER PROPERTIES AROUND IT.
5:46:45PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ALL RIGHT.
ANY QUESTIONS?
ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 4?
5:46:50PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:

RIGHT NOW THAT PROPERTY WHEN THEY COMPACTED IN AGGREGATE TO

THE FRONT ONTO 10th -- EAST 10th AVENUE.
I'M CONCERNED THAT IF THEY BUILD SOMETHING THAT WILL
CONTINUE.
THAT'S MY CONCERN.
ALSO, THEY ARE ASKING FOR AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE LICENSE.
5:47:33PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
NO.
THAT'S NOT ON THIS.
THIS IS ONLY FOR THE REZONING.
THAT WOULD BE COMPLETELY SEPARATE.
5:47:37PM >> OKAY.
MY PAPER SAYS IT.
SO THAT'S MY CONCERN.
I WOULD LIKE FOR IT NOT TO HAPPEN.
5:47:44PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
SOMEBODY VIRTUAL.
DID THEY GET SWORN IN?
WHAT IS THE NAME THAT'S VIRTUAL?
5:48:05PM >> [INAUDIBLE]
5:48:07PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:

5:48:09PM >> JUNIOR IS VIRTUAL.
SENIOR IS IN -- JUNIOR WOULD OTHERWISE BE HERE BUT HE'S IN
MONTREAL.
SAL GUAGLIARDO JUNIOR IS ON VIRTUALLY.
HE'S IN MONTREAL.
COULDN'T BE HERE TONIGHT.
5:48:24PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:

CAMERA, RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND WE'LL SWEAR YOU IN.
5:48:32PM >> I DON'T KNOW THAT HE WAS INTENDING TO SPEAK TONIGHT.
5:48:34PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT'S HERE IN THE
PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK?
IF NOT, COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
5:48:39PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
CAN I ASK STAFF REFERENCE THE PUBLIC
COMMENT ABOUT WHAT WAS BEFORE US TONIGHT COME UP AND KIND OF
EXPLAIN HOW -- WHAT THIS MEANS TO THE RESIDENT.
THANK YOU.
STORMWATER.
WE'RE NOT ADDRESSING THAT TONIGHT, JUST THE REZONING TO
EXPLAIN WHAT THE ISSUE IS.
COULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT SO THE RESIDENT UNDERSTANDS WHAT
WE'RE DEALING WITH TONIGHT?
5:49:06PM >> THE ACTION TONIGHT IS FIRST HEARING FOR THE REZONING.
WE'RE SIMPLY LOOKING TO -- THE APPLICANT IS LOOKING TO
CHANGE HOW THE SITE IS USED AND WHAT TYPES OF USES ARE
PERMITTED ON THAT SITE.

5:49:17PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SO HE UNDERSTANDS IT, THIS ISN'T APPROVING
A DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE SITE.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE IMPACT WILL BE AT THIS PARTICULAR
HEARING.
WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE USE OF THE PROPERTY.
5:49:27PM >> CORRECT.
RANGE OF USES PERMITTED UNDER THE CI ZONING.
SO AT THIS TIME, THERE'S NO DEVELOPMENT OR SITE PLAN BEING
PROPOSED FOR CONSIDERATION.
5:49:36PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MR. THOMAS.
5:49:37PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS:
SAM THOMAS, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
IF I CAN PROVIDE CLARIFICATION THAT I THINK YOU WERE GETTING
AT.
THE APPLICANT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT STORMWATER RUNOFF.
AT THIS TIME, WE'RE SIMPLY ONLY CHANGING THE USE OF WHAT
USES CAN BE CONSIDERED ON THAT.
WHEN THIS APPLICANT DOES GO TO PERMITTING, IF THE REZONING
IS APPROVED, AT THAT TIME STORMWATER WILL BE TAKEN INTO
ACCOUNT AND WOULD HAVE TO MEET STORMWATER TECHNICAL
STANDARDS IN THE CODE TO ENSURE THAT ALL STORMWATER THAT IS
COLLECTED ON-SITE WILL REMAIN ON-SITE.
5:50:04PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
5:50:07PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I WAS GOING TO BRING UP, BUT THIS IS A
REZONING.
THEN PERMITTING TIME WHEN THEY GO BACK TO THE CITY TO GET

THE PERMIT TO BUILD IS WHEN THIS -- STORMWATER AND WATER
RETENTION, THEY MUST RETAIN THE WATER ON THEIR PROPERTY.
I'M NOT TRYING TO SAY SOMETHING WON'T HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE,
MORE RAIN THAN EVER.
WE'VE HAD SIX FROM THE GULF.
NEVER SEEN SIX, MAYBE TWO.
BUT WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THE ENVIRONMENT FIRST.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR APPEARING.
5:50:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ALL RIGHT.
ANYBODY ELSE?
IF NOT, ASK FOR A MOTION TO CLOSE.
MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.

5:51:35PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU.
ITEM NUMBER 5.
5:51:39PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
GOOD EVENING.
STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 5 IS REZ-24-95, REQUEST TO REZONE
2508 NORTH 58th STREET FROM RM 16 TO IG FOR INDUSTRIAL
GENERAL USES.
I'LL TURN IT OVER TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
5:51:59PM >>DANNY COLLINS:
DANNY COLLINS, AGAIN WITH YOUR PLANNING
COMMISSION STAFF.
I WAS SWORN IN.

OUR NEXT CASE IS ALSO IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING
DISTRICT.
IT'S WITHIN EVACUATION ZONE E.
THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.
IT IS JUST TO THE NORTH OF BROADWAY AVENUE AND TO THE WEST
OF NORTH 58th STREET.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IS
PREDOMINANTLY COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE WITH SOME INDUSTRIAL
USES.
TO THE NORTH, WE DO HAVE SOME RESIDENCES.
THE PROPOSED CI -- THIS IS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
THE SUBJECT SITE, INCLUDING THE PARCELS SURROUNDING IT ARE
RECOGNIZED UNDER THE TU-24 DESIGNATION, SIMILAR TO THE LAST
CASE WE JUST HEARD.
THEY DO ALLOW FOR A RANGE OF USES SUCH AS THE IG ZONING
DISTRICT.
THE PROPOSED ZONING -- PROPOSED IG ZONING CAN BE CONSIDERED
WITHIN THE TRANSITIONAL USE 24 DESIGNATION.
CONSISTENT WITH THE CONSISTENCY MATRIX IN SECTION 27 OF THE
LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
THE TU-24 DESIGNATION ALLOWS FOR WIDE RANGE OF USES WHICH
HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE A DEVELOPMENT PATTERN THAT DOES
NOT ADEQUATELY MITIGATE THE INTENSE USES ALLOWED UNDER THE
DESIGNATION.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUPPORTS OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDUSTRIAL

DEVELOPMENT TO SERVE AS EMPLOYMENT GENERATORS FOR THE CITY.
ADDITIONALLY, THE PLAN EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF
BUFFERING COMMERCIAL USES FROM RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
IF APPROVED, ANY FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE MUST COMPLY
WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE ADDRESSING BUFFERING,
SCREENING, AND MITIGATION OF TRAFFIC IMPACTS ON ADJACENT
RESIDENTIAL USES.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROMOTES A MIXTURE OF USES,
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT WHILE
ENSURING COMPATIBILITY WITH RESIDENTIAL AREAS THROUGH
CONTEXT SENSITIVE DESIGN AND TRANSITIONS.
WHILE THE PLAN DISCOURAGES INDUSTRIAL ZONED AREAS NEAR
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, THE PROPOSED IG ZONING IS
CONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THE
AREA, WHICH INCLUDES PARCELS ZONED FOR IG AND COMMERCIAL
INTENSIVE TO THE SOUTH.
THIS REZONING SUPPORTS THE PLAN'S INTENT TO ENSURE THAT
DEVELOPMENT IS CONTEXT SENSITIVE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE
ESTABLISHED CHARACTER OF THIS PORTION OF THE CITY.
BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
5:54:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ANY QUESTIONS?

I SEE NONE.
5:54:23PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
WE'LL START WITH AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN RED ALONG NORTH
58th STREET.
THE SITE IS LOCATED SOUTH OF EAST COLUMBUS, WEST OF NORTH
58th STREET, EAST OF NORTH 57th STREET AND NORTH OF EAST
BROADWAY AVENUE.
THE SURROUNDING AREA DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IS CHARACTERIZED BY
A MIXTURE OF MULTIFAMILY INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES.
THIS IS A VIEW OF THE SURVEY OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
YOU CAN SEE THE PROPERTY LINE AND THE EXISTING ONE-STORY
RESIDENCE THAT IS ON-SITE.
WHILE THE SUBJECT SITE IS FLANKED BY MULTIFAMILY ATTACHED
UNITS TO THE NORTH AND WEST, THE REQUESTED USE OF INDUSTRIAL
GENERAL IS APPROPRIATE IN LOCATION.
PROVIDES AN APPROPRIATE INFILL AND TRANSITION FROM THE
MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT PATTERN LOCATED ON NORTH 58th
STREET TO THE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES ALONG BROADWAY
AND EAST COLUMBUS THAT SURROUND THE AREA.
SINCE THIS IS A EUCLIDEAN REZONING, THERE IS NO SITE PLAN OR
ELEVATIONS.
I'LL SHOW SOME PICTURES OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
THIS IS LOOKING AT THE SITE FROM 58th.
THIS IS THAT ADJACENT MULTIFAMILY NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE.

THIS IS LOOKING NORTH ALONG 58th.
THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH TOWARDS BROADWAY RIGHT THERE.
THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH AGAIN AT THE ADJACENT PROPERTY.
THIS IS LOOKING EAST OF THE SITE ACROSS 58th.
WE'LL MOVE FURTHER DOWN 58th ALSO EAST OF THE SITE.
AND THEN THIS IS CLOSER TO BROADWAY HERE.
AND THIS IS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE SITE AND ALONG 57th
STREET.
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION AND COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE
APPLICATION AND FIND THE REQUEST TO BE CONSISTENT WITH LAND
DEVELOPMENT CODE.
I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 6 IS REZ-24-98, REQUEST TO REZONE 1709

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

5:59:17PM >>DANNY COLLINS:
DANNY COLINS WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF.
I WAS SWORN IN.
THE NEXT CASE IS IN THE CENTRAL PLANNING DISTRICT IN THE URBAN
VILLAGE.
EVACUATION ZONE E.
OUR SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN PURPLE AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER
OF NORTH 18th STREET AND EAST HENRY AVENUE.
AS YOU THINK SEE, SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IS
PREDOMINANTLY RESIDENTIAL.
SUBJECT SITE, INCLUDING THE SURROUNDING PARCELS, ARE ALL
RECOGNIZED UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL-10 DESIGNATION, WHICH ALLOWS
DEVELOPMENT UP TO TEN DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE AND REQUEST
FOR TWO SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS READ THE ACTION AND FOUND IN
NO ADVERSE IMPACTS TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE REZONING WILL ALLOW FOR ENHANCED UTILIZATION OF THE LAND
CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE R-10
FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
DENSITY OF 9.52 UNITS PER ACRE, WHICH IS CONSISTENT TO THE
DENSITY UNDER R-10.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SHOWS THE IMPORTANCE OF SINGLE-FAMILY
NEIGHBORHOODS OF COMPATIBLE DEVELOPMENT OF NEIGHBORHOODS TO
ENSURE ECONOMIC HEALTH AND THE AMOUNT OF LAND IS AVAILABLE
FOR THE CITY'S GROWING POPULATION.
GIVEN THE SINGLE-FAMILY OF THE SURROUNDING AREA, PLANNING
COMMISSION STAFF CONCLUDES THAT THE REQUEST WILL MAINTAIN
THE CHARACTER AND ALIGN WITH THE RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER ALONG
EAST HENRY AVENUE.
IF THE REZONING -- IF THE REZONING IS APPROVED, THE SUBJECT
SITE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFILL, HOUSING
ON AN UNDERUTILIZED PARCEL UNDER THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS URBAN
VILLAGE CONSISTENT WITH THE PLAN.
BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION FINDS
IT CONSISTENT WITH THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

A MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.

06:39:58PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
ANY VERBAL COMMUNICATION WITH ANYBODY
REGARDING THE MATTER TONIGHT, PLEASE DISCLOSE THAT THE
DISCUSSION THAT TOOK PLACE AND THE SUM AND SUBSTANCE.
I SEE NO RESPONSE.
OKAY.
FINALLY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I JUST WANT TO REAFFIRM WITH
YOU THE FACT THAT THE CITY COUNCIL MUST BASE THEIR DECISION
ON WHAT THE COURTS CALL "COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL
EVIDENCE."
AND A PERSON'S OPINION IS NOT COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
UNLESS THEY ARE AN EXPERT.
SO IF YOU OFFER YOUR OPINION, THEY CAN NOT -- AND YOU ARE
NOT AN EXPERT, THE COUNCIL CANNOT RELY THAT ON THE BASIS OF
THEIR DECISION.
SO WHEN, IN FACT, I AM SUGGESTING COUNCIL THAT THEY CAN RELY
ON THE FACTS THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE TO THEM AND CITY COUNCIL
KNOWS THAT IF THEY WISH TO INQUIRE OF ANYBODY THAT DOES GIVE
TESTIMONY, COUNCIL CAN DO SO.
ALSO, I WOULD ALSO POINT OUT THAT PETITIONS THAT JUST STATE
EITHER FOR OR AGAINST THE COURTS FIND ARE NOT COMPETENT
SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
AND FINALLY I WOULD SUGGEST THAT IF YOU DO COME UP HERE, YOU
DO NOT HAVE TO BE REPETITIVE AND SAY THE SAME THING
NECESSARILY THAT HAS BEEN SAID.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE YOUR FULL TIME.
IT WILL ALLOW THINGS TO MOVE MORE QUICKLY AND ALLOW THE NEXT
PERSON AND OFFER THEIR TESTIMONY.
THANK YOU.
06:41:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:

06:41:53PM >>DANNY COLLINS:
THIS IS DANNY COLLINS WITH YOUR PLANNING
COMMISSION STAFF.
I WAS SWORN IN.
OUR NEXT CASE IS IN THE UNIVERSITY DISTRICT WITHIN THE RIVER
BEND NEIGHBORHOOD.
SUBJECT SITE IN EVACUATION ZONE A AND PORTIONS OF THE SITE
ARE WITHIN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA.
THIS IS OUTLINED IN PURPLE AT THE SOUTH EAST CORNER OF NORTH
HANNA AND NORTH ROME AVENUE.
APPROXIMATELY A HALF MILE NORTH OF WEST HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE.
THERE IS A MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTH OF
THE SITE.
THERE ARE SOME SINGLE-FAMILY USES TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF
THE SITE.
ZOOMING OUT, THERE ARE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES IN THE
IMMEDIATE AREA.
THIS IS THE HILLSBOROUGH RIVER HERE.
HERE IS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT OUTLINED IN CIRCLE.
06:42:55PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SIR, CAN CTV MOVE THE CLOSED CAPTIONING.
06:43:03PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IT NORMALLY IS NOT ON OUR SCREEN.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS -- IF YOU CAN REMOVE THE CLOSED
CAPTIONING ON OUR MONITORS.
OKAY.
THERE WE GO.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
SORRY ABOUT THAT.
06:43:23PM >>DANNY COLLINS:
SO THIS IS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
AS YOU SEE THE SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED IN PURPLE.
SUBJECT SITE IS RECOGNIZED UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL-10
CATEGORY.
RESIDENTIAL-10 IS DEPICTED BY THIS ORANGE, TANNISH COLOR ON
THE MAP.
AS YOU CAN SEE THE R-10 IS PRIMARILY FOUND ALONG THE RIVER.
IT IS ALSO FOUND COUPLE LOTS SOUTH AS YOU MOVE TOWARD
HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE.
DIRECTLY TO THE NORTH, THERE IS A PARCEL RECOGNIZED UNDER
THE RESIDENTIAL-20 DESIGNATION, AS WELL AS ALONG THE WEST
SIDE OF NORTH ROME AVENUE.
PARCELS ARE RECOGNIZED UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL-20.
THIS HERE IS A PARCEL RECOGNIZED UNDER THE COMMUNITY 35
DESIGNATION.
THIS DARK BROWN COLOR DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTH OF THE SITE IS
WHERE THE DEPARTMENT IS.
AND THE RESIDENTIAL THAT IS MORE MEDIUM TO HIGH RESIDENTIAL
CATEGORY THAT ALLOW FOR DEVELOPMENT 50 DWELLING UNITS PER
ACRE.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ALLOWS THE CONSIDERATION OF LIMITED
ATTACHED SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES WITHIN THE
RESIDENTIAL-10 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION IF THE SUBJECT
SITE IS LOCATED AT THE PERIPHERY OF A NEIGHBORHOOD.
DUE TO THE SITE OF BEING ADJACENT TO A MULTIFAMILY
DEVELOPMENT TO THE SOUTH WHERE THE R-50 IS, LOCATION ALONG
THE COLLECTOR ROADWAY WHICH IS NORTH ROME AVENUE AND
PROXIMITY TO A HIGHER FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION TO THE
NORTH, SOUTH, AND WEST OF THE SITE.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS DETERMINED THAT THE SITE
IS APPROPRIATE FOR SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED USES.
THE PD PROPOSES 9.65 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE WHICH IS
CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE
RESIDENTIAL DESIGNATION AND, THEREFORE, IS KENT WITH
8.15.1.
DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE SUBJECT SITE ALONG THE
HILLSBOROUGH RIVER, ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY 3.1.1 SEEKS TO
ENSURE THAT THE DEVELOPMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE RIVER
CORRIDOR OVERLAY STUDY.
APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED A WRITTEN RESPONSE UPLOADED
INTO ACELA NOVEMBER 7, 2024 INVOLVING ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
3.1.1.
IN SUMMARY, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FOUND THAT THE
PROPOSED PD HAS MEANT THE INTENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL 3.1.1.
THE PLAN SEEKS TO PROTECT WETLANDS FROM INCOMPATIBLE
DEVELOPMENT BUILDING SIX ON YOUR SITE PLAN APPEARS TO
CONFLICT WITH THE DELINEATED WETLAND.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRISON, EPC APPROVED AUTHORIZATION FOR
PROPOSED WETLAND IMPACT AND MITIGATION PROGRAM.
PROPOSED PD IS DESIGNED WITH THE WETLAND APPROVAL WITH THE
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY EPC AND MET THE INTENT OF THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES WHICH HAVE ANY PROPOSED TO HAVE
COORDINATE WITH EPC REGARDING IMPACTS ON MITIGATION AND
DESIGN.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HAS POLICIES THAT SPEAK TO THE DESIGN
OF SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED USES.
PARTICULARLY THE DOOR SHOULD ORIENT TOWARD A NEIGHBORHOOD
SIDEWALK OR STREET.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FOUND THAT THE REQUEST IS
CONSISTENT WITH LAND USE POLICY 9.2.6.
THERE ARE TOWN HOMES ORIENTED TOWARD THE ADJACENT PUBLIC
RIGHTS-OF-WAY AND PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS THAT CONNECT TO THE
RIGHTS-OF-WAY FROM THE INTERNAL UNITS.
FINALLY THE REQUEST SUPPORTS MANY OF THE POLICIES IN THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS IT COMES TO HOUSING THE CITY'S
POPULATION.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ENCOURAGES NEW HOUSING ON VACANT
UNDERUTILIZED LAND THAT AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF HOUSING TO
MEET TAMPA'S PRESENT AND FUTURE POPULATIONS AND WILL HAVE
ADDITIONAL HOUSING CHOICES IN THE RIVER BEND NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF BASED ON CONSIDERATIONS FIND
THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND AVAILABLE FOR ANY
QUESTIONS.
06:47:10PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ANY QUESTIONS?
I SEE NONE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
YES, SIR.
COME ON UP.
06:47:19PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS:

THE STRIKE THROUGH IS THE CHANGE THAT WAS MADE TO THE
REVISED REVISION SHEET WITH THE ADDITIONAL REVISION MADE
THERE.
AND COUNCILMAN VIERA LET ME KNOW WHEN, AND I WILL REMOVE
THAT FROM THE OVERHEAD PROJECTOR.
06:48:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
GO AHEAD, SIR.
06:48:07PM >>LUIS VIERA:
THANK YOU.
06:48:09PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS:
WE WILL START WITH AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE
SUBJECT SITE.
YOU CAN SEE THE SITE OUTLINED IN RED HERE ALONG NORTH ROME
AVENUE AND WEST HANNA AVENUE.
YOU HAVE THE HILLSBOROUGH RIVER TO THE EAST OF THE SUBJECT
SITE.
SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE, YOU HAVE SOME MULTIFAMILY
DEVELOPMENT.
MULTIFAMILY LOCATED IN THE RM-35 ZONING DISTRICT HERE AND
ADDITIONAL MULTIFAMILY LOCATED HERE IN THE RM-16.
WITHIN THE RM-35 ZONING DISTRICT, MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT
DOES ALLOW FOR 120 FEET.
THEN WHEN YOU ARE SOUTHWEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE HERE, A
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPROVED FOR OFFICE USES.
NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE, YOU DO HAVE MODULAR HOMES AND
RECREATIONAL VEHICLES.
ADDITIONALLY NORTH OF THE SITE, YOU HAVE SOME SINGLE-FAMILY
DETACHED HOMES THAT ARE RECOGNIZED UNDER THE RS-50,
RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY DISTRICT.
SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE, THERE ARE HOMES RECOGNIZED UNDER
THE RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY DISTRICT.
AS YOU MOVE FARTHER ALONG ROME AVENUE, COMMERCIAL.
A CHURCH LOCATED HERE AND A LOCATED HERE AS WELL.
OVERALL WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SURROUNDING AREA THE SITE
SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES RECOGNIZED UNDER THE
RESIDENTIAL 50 ZONING DISTRICT.
SO WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE
APPLICANT.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING 42 DETACHED HOMES WITHIN TEN
BUILDINGS.
YOU CAN SEE THOSE HERE.
AND THEN THREE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES ALONG THE
HILLSBOROUGH RIVER.
BUILDINGS ONE AND TWO ARE ORIENTED TOWARD ROME AVENUE WITH
PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS PROVIDED TO THE SIDEWALK PROPOSED
ALONG YANK AVENUE AND PROPOSED TO BE 22 FEET AND 8 INCHES OR
TWO STORIES.
BUILDING THREE AND FOUR ORIENTED TOWARD WEST HANNA AVENUE

AND 8 INCHES OR TWO STORY.
ALL THE OTHER BUILDINGS INTERNAL TO THE SITE CONSISTENT WITH
THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ARE PROPOSED TO BE 35 FEET OR THREE
STORIES.
AND PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS ARE PROVIDED FOR ALL OF THOSE
UNITS TO GET TO ROME AVENUE AS DANNY MENTIONED DURING HIS
PRESENTATION.
THE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS FOR THOSE INTERNAL UNIONS TO IS A
EVILLY REACH THE SIDEWALKS AND RIGHT-OF-WAY.
VEHICULAR ACCESS TO THE SITE IS ROME AVENUE.
102 REQUIRED AND 102 PROVIDED.
OUTLINE OF GARAGES.
AND IT IS A LITTLE HARDER TO TELL, BUT THE BOX WHERE THE
GARAGE IS GOING TO BE AT.
ADDITIONALLY RESIDENTIAL OR GUEST PARKING ON THE NORTHERN
PART OF THE SUBJECT SITE LOCATED HERE.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO PROVIDE A DOG PARK NORTH OF
THAT GUEST PARKING AND PRESERVING TWO GRAND LIVE OAKS WITHIN
THAT PROPOSED DOG PARK.
ANOTHER PROPOSED PARK HERE ALONG THE HILLSBOROUGH RIVER.
AND THE APPLICANT IS PRESERVING ONE GRAND TREE THERE.
AND THEN LASTLY ON THE NORTHEASTERN CORNER OF THE SUBJECT
SITE IS A CLUSTER OF TREES AND A PROPOSED GREEN SPACE AREA.
THE APPLICANT IS ALSO PROPOSING SIX-FOOT FENCE ALONG THE
NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN PROPERTY BOUNDARY AND A FOUR-FOOT
FENCE ALONG ROME AVENUE.
LASTLY, THERE ARE WETLANDS ON THE SUBJECT SITE THAT WAS
MENTIONED BY DANNY IN HIS PRESENTATION.
I WANTED TO GO OVER THOSE REAL QUICK.
SO THE APPLICANT AS DANNY MENTIONED DID RECEIVE APPROVAL
FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION COMMISSION OF HICK TO
IMPACT 2.2 ACRES.
THEY ARE ZONED IN YELLOW.
AND WETLAND NOT IMPACTED ON-SITE.
THOSE WETLANDS ARE SHOWN SOUTH OF THE GREEN LINE ALONG THE
HILLSBOROUGH RIVER THERE SOUTH OF THE GREEN LINE IS THE
WETLANDS THAT WILL NOT BE IMPACTED.
GREEN LINES RIGHT HERE THAT YOU SEE, THAT IS THE 20--- THE
25-FOOT WETLAND BUFFER THEY ARE PROVIDING BETWEEN THE
WETLANDS AND THEIR DEVELOPMENT.
I WILL NOW SHOW YOU ALL SOME ELEVATIONS OF THE SITE.
SO THESE ARE THE ELEVATIONS FOR BUILDINGS ONE, TWO AND
THREE.
THE BUILDINGS FACING ROME AVENUE AND WEST HANNA AVENUE.
YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT THEY ARE SHOWING A MAXIMUM BUILDING
HEIGHT.
SHOW IT A LITTLE BIT MORE.
MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT OF 22 FEET AND 8 INCHES.
BUT SHOWING AN ADDITIONAL 24 INCHES, TWO FEET FOR
ARCHITECTURAL DETAIL.
THAT IS ALLOWED BY THE CODE.
THEIR MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT MAY STAY 35 FEET, IN THE SITE
PLAN THEY ARE SHOWN AS 22 FEET.
THEY ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE THAT ADDITIONAL ARCHITECTURAL
FEATURE AND YOU WILL SEE WHY I AM POINTING THAT OUT WHEN I
GET TO THE OTHER ELEVATIONS.
AND HERE ARE THE ELEVATIONS FOR BUILDINGS FIVE, SIX, SEVEN,
EIGHT AND NINE.
YOU CAN SEE HERE, THEY ARE SHOWING THE PROPOSED -- LET'S SEE
HERE IF THIS IS GOING TO FOCUS FOR ME.
MAYBE?
OKAY, THERE WE GO.
BUILDING HEIGHT OF 34 FEET, BUT YOU HAVE AN ADDITIONAL TWO
FEET OF ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS SO WOULD PUT TO OVER THE 35
FEET ALLOWED BY THE SITE PLAN, BUT BASED ON THE CODE, YOU
ARE ABLE TO HAVE ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS THAT THAT DO NOT
COUNT TO YOUR MAXIMUM PROPOSED BUILDING HEIGHT.
LASTLY, THESE ARE YOUR ELEVATIONS FOR THE SINGLE-FAMILY
HOMES THAT WILL BE ALONG THE HILLSBOROUGH RIVER.
WE WILL RUN THROUGH SOME PICTURES NOW.
SO THIS IS ON ROME AVENUE LOOKING AT THE SUBJECT SITE AT THE
NORTHWEST CORNER LOOKING EAST.
THIS IS LOOKING DIRECTLY AT THE SUBJECT SITE FROM ROME
AVENUE.
NOW WE HAVE MOVED UP TO THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF ROME AND
HANNA AVENUE.
WE ARE NOW LOOKING EAST DOWN HANNA AVENUE.
YOU HAVE THE SUBJECT SITE OVER HERE AND WHERE THOSE MODULE
HOMES AND RVs I MENTIONED EARLIER LOCATED TO THE NORTH SIDE
OF HANNAH.
THIS IS LOOKING ON ROME AVENUE THERE THE INTERSECTION STILL.
THIS IS NORTH OF THE SITE.
THIS IS LOOKING NORTH OF THE SITE ON HANNAH.
NOW WE ARE LOOKING SOUTH FROM HANNA AT THE SUBJECT SITE.
THEN LOOKING BACK FORTH ALONG HANNA AVENUE.
LITTLE BIT FARTHER TO THE EAST ON HANNA, THIS IS ANOTHER
PICTURE OF THE SUBJECT SITE LOOKING SOUTH.
THIS IS THE SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE THAT I MENTIONED JUST
NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE ON HANNA AVENUE.
THIS IS A BETTER VIEW OF THAT SINGLE-FAMILY HOME.
AND NOW WE ARE MOVING TOWARD THE DEAD END OF HANNA AVENUE
GETTING CLOSER TO THE HILLSBOROUGH RIVER.
THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE HERE.
AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A CITY OF TAMPA PUMP STATION.
AND NOW THIS IS LOOKING AT THE HILLSBOROUGH RIVER AT THE
DEAD END OF HANNA, AND THE SUBJECT SITE WILL BE HERE.
BACK ON ROME AVENUE LOOKING DIRECTLY AT THE SUBJECT SITE,
THIS IS THE ENTRANCE THAT IS CURRENTLY PROVIDED ON THE
SUBJECT SITE.
BETTER LOOK AT THAT.
NOW WE MOVE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE WHERE THE RM-35 ZONING
IS WITH THE EXISTING MULTIFAMILY ON THE SITE.
LOOKING EAST TOWARD THE HILLSBOROUGH RIVER.
HERE IS A BETTER VIEW OF THE MULTIFAMILY THAT CURRENTLY
EXISTS ON THAT SITE.
WE ARE MOVING FURTHER EAST.
AND NOW WE ARE LOOKING AT THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES THAT ARE
LOCATED SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE ALONG THE RIVER.
AND THIS IS LOOKING WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE AT THE
SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES THAT APARTMENT BUILDING THAT I MENTIONED
EARLIER IN THE RM-16, YOU CAN SEE THERE IN THE DISTANCE.
HERE IS THE PD.
THIS IS THE SITE THAT THE PD THAT WAS SOUTHWEST OF THE
SUBJECT SITE THAT WAS APPROVED FOR AN OFFICE BUILDING.
WE ARE LOOKING WEST ACROSS FROM THE SUBJECT SITE OF MORE OF
THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES THAT EXIST WHICH IS WHAT THESE NEXT
FEW PICTURES ARE.
MORE OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
AND I BELIEVE THIS IS THE LAST ONE OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY
HOMES THAT EXIST WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
LET ME FIND MY SITE PLAN TO PUT BACK UP.
SORRY.
A LOT OF PAPERS.
HERE IS THE SITE PLAN AGAIN.
FOCUS FOR YOU ALL.
THERE WE GO.

FUTURE LAND USE AS PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF TALKED ABOUT,
UNIQUE FUTURE LAND USE PATTERN WITH AN R-10 AREA AND R-50
AND R-20 IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA AND WE DESIGNED OUR SITE TO
MATCH THAT DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AND I WILL GO INTO THAT IN
DETAIL.
BRIEF MENTION OF LAND USE HISTORY HERE.
20 YEARS AGO, THIS WAS ACTUALLY ALL R-20 AND PUBLICLY
INITIATED, CITY INITIATED TO CHANGE IT TO R-10.
REASON I BRING THIS UP, BECAUSE R-10 WAS CHOSEN WITH THE
SPECIFIC GOAL OF NOT HAVING MORE APARTMENTS DEVELOPED BUT
STILL HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR TOWN HOMES.
THAT IS NOTED IN THE STAFF REPORT IN THE BACK UP FOR THAT
TIME.
THAT WAS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE PROBABLY WAS IMPORTANT FOR
WHAT WAS 20 YEARS AGO.
SITE INCLUDES 24 TOWN HOMES AND THREE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED
UNITS WITH THE UNITS ALONG THE RIVER.
MEETS THE IT HE SIGN CRITERIA, PARKING, OPEN SPACE AND
REQUESTS TWO TREE WAIVERS THAT WE WILL DISCUSS LATER.
THE TECHNICAL SITE PLAN IS HARD TO READ, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO
SHOW WHAT IS GOING ON INSIDE THE BUILDINGS WITH THE GARAGES
AND THE LIKE.
SO THIS SITE PLAN, THE LANDSCAPE PLAN, MAKES IT EASIER TO
SEE THE GREEN SPACE.
THREE FAMILY UNITS WITH TOWN HOME ALONG THE SITE ALONG ROME
AND HANNA.
AS STAFF MENTIONED TWO-STORY ALONG ROME AND HANNA AND THEN
THREE STORY.
EACH SPOT HAS ITS OWN GREEN SPACE.
TO PRESERVE THE RIVERFRONT.
ALONG THE RIVER WHERE THE MOST GREEN SPACE.
THE SITE HAVING BEEN REDESIGN TO PROTECT THE RIVER AND I
THINK THAT THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSES AND MOVING THE RETENTION
WALLS AWAY FROM THE RIVER.
AT THIS POINT CYNTHIA SPIDEL TO COME UP AND A PLANNER THAT
WILL TALK OF THE COMPATIBILITY BRIEFLY.
07:03:46PM >> GOOD EVENING, CYNTHIA SPIDEL FOR STEARNS, WEAVER, MILLER
AT 100 EAST JACKSON STREET IN TAMPA.
I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
I AM A AICP CERTIFIED PLANNER WITH 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN
PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SECTORS.
STAFF PROVIDED A VERY COMPREHENSIVE STAFF REPORT THAT GOES
INTO GREAT DETAIL AND COVERS HOW THE PROJECT IS BOTH
CONSISTENT WITH THE APPLICABLE PROVISIONS IN THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLANNED AND THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
REGULATIONS.
THAT MAKES MY JOB EASY; HOWEVER, WOULD I WOULD LIKE TO HONE
IN ON A FEW CRITICAL COMPONENTS.
THIS COMPATIBILITY SLIDE DEMONSTRATES HOW THIS SITE IS
SURROUNDED BY FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS.
SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED ALONG THE RIVER WHICH IS CONSISTENT
WITH THE CONSOL STATED HILLSBOROUGH RIVER MASTER PLAN.
BUT YET, YOU HAVE HIGHER DENSITIES AS YOU GO WEST.
THOSE FUTURE LAND USE CLASSIFICATION ARE AROUND THE SITE.
SO -- WHICH ONE DO I PRESS?
THIS ONE?
SO THIS COMPATIBILITY SLIDE ZOOMS IN A LITTLE BIT MORE AND
PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW HOW THE PD SITE PLAN TAKES THE BUILT IN
ENVIRONMENT AND THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT INTO CONSIDERING AND
PROVIDES A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT THAT BALANCES THESE VARIOUS
APPROVED DENSITIES.
THIS SLIDE ZOOMS IN EVEN MORE AND HOW THE LAND USE
CLASSIFICATIONS MEAN ON THE GROUND.
WE ARE SURROUNDED BY DIVERSE HOUSING, MOBILE HOME TO THE
NORTH.
APARTMENTS/MULTIFAMILY TO THE SOUTH.
AND SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED ALONG THE RIVER.
STAFF FOUND THE PROPOSED PD CONSISTENT WITH THE COMP PLAN.
YOU HAVE A VERY DETAILED STAFF REPORT; HOWEVER, JUST TO
SUMMARIZE THE KEY CONSIDERATIONS, PROPOSED PD SITE PLAN
FULFILLS AND MEETS THE COMP PLAN POLICIES.
ENCOURAGES NEW HOUSING AND INFILL DEVELOPMENT.
CONSISTENT WITH THE HILLSBOROUGH RIVER MASTER PLAN.
AND PD BALANCES ALL OF THE POLICIES THROUGH THE CONTEXT
SENSITIVITY.
WHAT DOES CONTEXT SENSITIVITY MEAN?
TOWN HOUSES TOWARD THE ROAD, SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED TOWARD
THE RIVER.
MY PLANNING OPINION IS THAT THE PD SITE PLAN AS PROPOSED A
APPLICABLE TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE LAND
DEVELOPMENT CODE REGULATIONS AND THROUGH THE PD PROCESS IS
COMPATIBLE TO THE SURROUNDING AREA.
THANK YOU, AND I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
07:06:10PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU.
07:06:10PM >> MOVING ON TO TRANSPORTATION.
WHILE WE HAVE BEEN AT THIS FOR TWO YEARS, WE HAVE NOT BEEN
HAVING TO GO BACK AND FORTH WITH TRANSPORTATION DURING THAT
TIME.
ABLE TO WORK OUT THE DETAILS ITSELF WITH TRANSPORTATION
EARLY AND AS FAR AS THE TRANSPORTATION STUDY, WE HAVE NOT
HAD TO EDIT THAT IN THE TIME OF THIS PROCESS.
IT IS BECAUSE THIS IS A MINIMAL IMPACT.
18 MORNING PEAK-HOUR TRIPS.
ABOUT 25 AFTERNOON PEAK-HOUR TRIPS.
THE PROJECT WILL CONSUME LESS THAN 3% OF THE CAPACITY OF
ROME AND STUDY SHOWS THAT INTERSECTIONS AND THE CAPACITY OF
THE ROADWAY OPERATE AT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF SERVICE.
I WANTED TO VISUALIZE THAT FOR YOU HERE.
WE HAD OUR CONSULTANT CONFIRM THE CAPACITY NUMBERS WITH
ROME.
WHAT THE BAR NUMBERS SHOW THE BACK-UP TRAFFIC ON ROME AND
WILL EXIST WHEN THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED.
THE RED THERE IS THE PROJECT TRAFFIC.
THAT IS THE LESS THAN 3% CHANGE THERE.
MOST IMPORTANTLY IS THE GREEN.
THE AVAILABLE CAPACITY IN ROME.
REASON WE HAVEN'T HAD TRANSPORTATION ISSUES WITH STAFF.
THERE IS PLENTY OF CAPACITY THERE AND THE PROJECT DOES NOT
GENERATE THAT MUCH TRAFFIC.
AS FAR AS NATURAL RESOURCES ARE CONCERNED -- [GAVEL SOUNDING]
07:07:27PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
YES, SIR.
07:07:27PM >> -- WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH STAFF IS ON NATURAL
RESOURCES.
THE SITE PLAN HAS BEEN DESIGNED WITH A LOT OF GREEN SPACE.
AS IT I MENTIONED EARLIER EACH LOT HAS ITS OWN GREEN SPACE
AND THE SITE HAS ITS OWN GREEN SPACE.
MEETING IT 100%.
AND NO TREE MITIGATION WAIVER.
DOZENS OF MITIGATION TO THE SITE PLAN IN THE SITE PLAN.
AND ALL THE TREE PLANTINGS THAT ARE REQUIRED.
WE ARE ABLE TO WORK WITH STAFF AND GET A CONSISTENT RECEIVE
RECOMMENDATION FROM STAFF.
WE HAVE TWO WAIVERS.
THE FIRST OF THE WAIVER TO REMOVE ONE NONHAZARDOUS GRAND
TREE.
I WANT TO EXPLAIN WHAT IS SHOWING ON IS THIS SITE, BECAUSE
THERE ARE SEVEN TREES SHOWN HERE.
AND THEN ONLY FOUR ARE NUMBERED.
I WANT TO BE CLEAR ON WHAT EACH SHOWS.
FIVE OF THE SIX NONHAZARDOUS GRAND TREES ARE BEING
PRESERVED.
ANYTHING IN GREEN WITH THE EXCEPTION OF NUMBER 4.
NUMBER 4 IS A LIVE OAK THAT WAS DAMAGED DURING MILTON BUT
HAZARDOUS BUT NOT DANGEROUS.
AND SO WE ALWAYS INTENDED TO KEEP THAT TREE.
AND SO WE ARE ABLE TO KEEP IT.
THE ONE THROUGH FOUR ARE THE FOUR GRAND TREES THAT WE
REDESIGNED TO KEEP.
AND THEN IN THE MIDDLE THERE, THAT ONE TREE THERE, THAT IS
THE GRAND TREE WE ARE REQUESTING A WAIVER TO REMOVE.
THE REASON FOR THAT WE DON'T HAVE A REASONABLE ENGINEERING
SOLUTION TO SAVE THE TREE.
THE SITE REQUIRES GRADE AND FILL TO CONTROL THE STORMWATER.
AND THAT GRADING AND FILL WILL ISOLATE THAT TREE AND YOU
WOULD HAVE TO HAVE AGREE WALL WITH WALLS ON FOUR SIDES.
WORKING WITH STAFF AND OUR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT AND OUR
ARBORIST.
NOTHING THAT WOULD SAVE THAT TREE WITH THAT DESIGN.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT WITH THIS APPLICATION BEFORE COMING BEFORE
YOU, THAT DOESN'T CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY IF YOU CHANGE THIS TO
A SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT.
YOU STILL NEED A ROAD.
STILL HAVE TO CONTROL THE STORMWATER.
YOU STILL VIDEO TO GRADE AND FILL THE SITE.
THAT TREE, NOT A REASONABLE SOLUTION TO DEVELOP THE SITE
WITH THE TREE.
SO THAT'S WHY WE ASKED THAT.
THE SECOND WAIVER IS RETENTION.
AND FOR A LOT OF SAME REASONS WE ARE ASKING A WAIVER HERE
BECAUSE OF THE GRADING AND FILL ESSENTIAL TO THE SITE.
THE -- THE SAVINGS ARE REALLY NOTICEABLE ON THE EDGES AND
ABLE TO CONTROL THE RATING NOT TO AFFECT THE TREES.
YOU CAN SEE ALL THE TREES THAT ARE SAVED AND THE TWO POCKETS
ARE THE AREA WITH THE MOST PRESERVATION TREE.
WE STARTED AT 12% RETENTION AND WE MORE THAN DOUBLED THAT.
AND ABLE TO INCREASE THAT TO 25% AND THAT IS WHAT WE ASKED.
NOW WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE HERE IF YOU LOOK AT THE AERIAL
EVEN MORE TREES THAT ARE NOT SHOWN HERE.
BECAUSE THE SITE IS LEFT UNKEPT FOR MANY YEARS.
SOME OF THOSE TREES ARE VERY GOOD PRESERVATION TREES.
SOME OF THOSE TREES ARE NOT HEALTHY AND MANY ARE INVASIVE
SPECIES.
IT IS HARD TO LOOK AT THE AERIAL TO GET AN IDEA WHAT THIS
IS.
THIS IS WHY WE USED THIS PICTURE HERE.
NEXT WE WILL TALK OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FOR A MOMENT.
AS STATED IN 2022, WE GOT TO OUR FIRST DRC MEETING.
HAD A MEETING IN JUNE OF '23.
MET WITH THE RIVER BEND ASSOCIATION.
HAD WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE.
MET WITH THE BOARD.
AND THEN STAFF MENTIONED EPC APPROVAL TO IMPACT THE LOWER
QUALITY WETLAND INTERNAL TO THE SITE WHEN THAT APPEAL
HAPPENED, IT IS A BASICALLY LITIGATION AND WENT BEFORE A
HEARING OFFICER AND ACTING AS A EPC.
THE APPEAL WAS NOT ACCEPTED SO THE INITIAL APPROVAL WAS
ACCEPTED WITHOUT ANY CHANGES, BUT, UNFORTUNATELY, THAT
APPEAL NECESSARILY BROKE OFF A LOT OF THE COMMUNICATION WE
HAD WITH THE NEIGHBORS.
SO NOW AS I WRAP THIS UP HERE, I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT
MORE ABOUT THAT JOURNEY THAT IS NOW IN ITS FOURTH CALENDAR
-- YEAH, FOURTH CALENDAR YEAR.
WE TOOK THAT TIME, BECAUSE WE WANTED TO ADDRESS EVERY SINGLE
CONCERN THAT STAFF HAD.
WE HIRED MORE EXPERTS THAN I EVER USED ON A ZONING
APPLICATION.
WE BEEN TO DRC THREE TIMES.
WE DID SITE VISITS WITH STAFF.
EXTRA CONSULTANTS DID STUDY THAT COVERED FILL, FLOODING AND
FLOOD PLAIN.
WE IDENTIFIED WHERE WE CAN FILL.
WHERE IT IS APPROPRIATE.
TO WHAT AMOUNT.
THE TREE REPORTS ON THE GRAND OAKS -- OR GRAND TREES
ALREADY.
WE KNOW IF WE BUILD WHERE WE SAY WE ARE GOING TO BUILD, WE
CAN PRUNE THOSE TREES AND IT WILL BE ACCEPTABLE AND DID THE
WETLAND IMPACT AND WETLAND MITIGATION APPROVALS BEFORE
ZONING.
ALL THAT EXTRA EFFORT WAS TO WORK WITH STAFF TO COME BEFORE
YOU WITH AN APPLICATION THAT THEY CAN SUPPORT AND ALL
PERMITTING ISSUES THAT TOOK SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME AND
EFFORT TO ACHIEVE.
SO AS I WRAP UP HERE, WE ARE HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH
STAFF SO CLOSELY AND APPRECIATE THE EFFORT AND SIGNIFICANT
EFFORT FROM STAFF.
THEY FOUND US CONSISTENT AS WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
WE HAVE THE RESUMES TO PLACE INTO THE RECORD, IF I MAY.
07:12:47PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SURE.
07:12:50PM >> WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL AND HAVE A BIT OF
TIME YET.
AND WITH THE NUMBER OF COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE IF I CAN
RESERVE MY TIME FOR THE REBUTTAL.
I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT.
07:13:01PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
HOW MUCH DO YOU HAVE LEFT?
07:13:03PM >> THREE AND A HALF MINUTES -- 3:
22.
07:13:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU.
THAT CONCLUDES YOUR PRESENTATION.
WE WILL GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT.
I HAVE AN ORDER OF SPEAKERS LIST HERE.

BUT EVERYBODY HAS BEEN TAKEN SO A TOTAL OF SEVEN MINUTES.
MR. COMPTON IS HERE.
BUT YOUR NAME IS THE EIGHTH NAME AND TEN MINUTE IS THE
MAXIMUM.
IF YOU WANT TO WAIVE YOUR TIME, BUT A TOTAL OF TEN MINUTES.
07:16:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME, MR. KRAMER, AND
WE WILL START THE CLOCK.
07:16:11PM >> THANK YOU, MY NAME IS HENRY KRAMER.
FOLKS CALL ME HANK.
5933 NORTH ROME AVENUE WHICH IS JUST SOUTH OF THE PROJECT
DOWN SOUTH OF THE APARTMENTS THAT WERE REFERENCED.
I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE RIVER BEND NEIGHBORHOOD
ASSOCIATION AND LICENSED INSURANCE AGENT.
I SPECIALIZE IN COMMERCIAL LINES OF COVERAGE.
I WORKED IN THE COMMERCIAL LINES OF BUSINESS FOR 40 YEARS,
AND I SPENT THE FIRST 15 YEARS AT THE AETNA LIFE AND
CASUALTY IN UNDERWRITING.
SAFETY IS MY BIG CONCERN.
RISK MANAGEMENT IS WHAT I DO FOR MY CLIENTS.
WE IDENTIFY RISKS.
WE HELP CONTROL RISKS AND WE MITIGATE RISKS.
THE LARGEST SEGMENT IN MY BOOK OF BUSINESS IS CONDOMINIUM
ASSOCIATIONS AND HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS.
WORKED WITH MANY DEVELOPERS IN THE PAST: LENA, ATLANTIC
GULF, STANDARD HOMES -- STANDARD PACIFIC, ROTLAND AND
WESTFIELD AMONG OTHERS.
I WORKED WITH THEM FOR LAND ACQUISITIONS, CONSTRUCTION, TO
TURNOVER.
SO MY APPROACH TO LOOKING AT THIS PROJECT IS FROM AN
UNDERWRITER'S PERSPECTIVE.
THE FILLING AND DESTRUCTION OF THE WETLANDS FROM WEST TO
EAST IS VERY PROBLEMATIC AND WILL BE PROBLEMATIC FOR MOST OF
THE RESIDENTS AND EVEN THE RESIDENTS THAT MIGHT COME ON THE
PROPERTY -- THAT MIGHT LIVE ON THE PROPERTY.
THE WETLAND WAS ORIGINALLY IDENTIFIED AS A BLOWOUT DITCH OR
A STORMWATER CITY OF TAMPA VENUE THAT WAS NOT MAINTAINED.
IT TURNED OUT NOT TO BE THE CASE.
DR. BOB FROM STORMWATER MANAGEMENT DETERMINED THAT
STORMWATER -- THERE WAS NO STORMWATER FLOW THERE SINCE THE
'60s.
ALL MOVED TO HANNA AVENUE.
SO WHAT YOU HAVE LEFT IS A WETLAND.
BUT NO ONE KNOWS THE SOURCE OF THE WETLAND, A SPRING, AN
ARTESIAN SPRING -- ARTESIAN WELL OR WHAT.
HAVING LOOKED AT THE SITE PLAN FROM DR. BOB, WE DECIDED TO
LOOK FURTHER BACK IN THE COMMUNITY, UP INTO THE WATER SHED.
AND THESE PHOTOS THAT I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU ARE -- SHOW THE
RELEVANT CREEK ACTIVITIES, POND ACTIVITIES AND THE WETLANDS.
YOU WILL SEE THAT WE HAVE A WET LAND RIGHT MERE THAT IS ON
THE OTHER SIDE OF ARMENIA AVENUE.
SUBJECT PROPERTY IS DOWN RIGHT WHERE YOU THINK IT IS, RIGHT.
SO WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THERE ARE LAKES ALL AROUND HERE AND
THIS SHOW AS LITTLE BETTER.
THIS SHEET WILL GIVE YOU A BETTER IDEA OF THE WETLAND AS YOU
SEE IT.
THE POND AND THE LAKES ALL IN THIS AREA BACK TO EGYPT LAKE
UP SAT SLIGH ALL DRAIN IN THIS WETLAND AREA.
ALL COME DOWN FROM THE RIVER.
EVERYTHING FLOWS FROM THE WEST TO THE EAST DOWN TO THE
RIVER.
THIS IS THAT BIG WETLAND, AND HERE YOU WILL FIND CAPON'S
CREEK THAT COMES EXACTLY INTO THE PROPERTY AT 6111.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE WETLAND SOURCE IS.
THE -- ACROSS IS ROME -- THE POND CROSSES ROME.
THIS HAS ALL BEEN BUILT BON AND THE CREEK REMAINS AND FLOW
ON THE CREEK COMING ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE WETLAND AND THE
FLOW ON THE PROPERTY.
ONE OF THE PROPERTIES THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE HERE IS
THAT THEY CITE THE WETLAND.
PROBLEMS WITH THE DELINEATION OF THE WETLAND.
WE TRY TO ARGUE THAT AT THE APPEAL BUT YOU CAN ONLY TALK OF
THE WETLAND VERY LIMITED AFTER SOMETHING HAS ALREADY BEEN
AUTHORIZED.
WE ARE SHOWING THAT THE WETLAND ARRIVES ON THE PROPERTY
HERE.
THEY ARE SHOWING IT WAY BACK HERE IF YOU START DIGGING OUT
THIS PROPERTY, YOU FIND YOU GOT BIG ISSUES BECAUSE YOU ARE
NOT GOING TO BE ABLE -- WELL, YOU WILL JUST FIND THAT YOU
HAVE BIG ISSUE.
JUST BECAUSE THE WETLAND COULD BE FILLED DOESN'T MEAN IT
SHOULD.
SO WE HIGHLY OBJECT TO THE WETLAND BEING FILLED.
WE OBJECT TO THE FILL BEING BROUGHT ON TO THE PROPERTY.
THE CITY OF TAMPA HAS ITS OWN OBLIGATION ON ANY WETLAND THAT
IS -- THAT IS HYDROLOGICALLY CONNECTED TO THE RIVER TO SAVE
IT AND PROTECT IF IT FROM DAMAGE.
IT IS ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT WATER ALWAYS WINS.
THAT WATER IS GOING TO GET IN HERE.
AND IT IS GOING TO GO SOMEWHERE.
IT GOES WHERE IT WANTS TO GO.
AND WE KNOW THAT IS TO BE THE CASE.
THAT IT IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM IN THE AREA BECAUSE COMING
BACK TO THIS SHOT I WANT TO JUST SHOW YOU AGAIN, YOU SEE
THAT ORANGE SMUDGE ON THERE JUST OUTSIDE THE CIRCLED AREA,
THAT IS THE TAMPA POLICE ATHLETIC LEAVE.
THAT WAS BUILT IN 2011.
THAT WAS SOUGHT TO BE ON HIGH GROUND AND WASN'T SUPPOSED TO
A PROBLEM FOR ANYBODY.
A BEAUTIFUL SITE.
THE KIDS LOVE IT THERE.
WITHIN 24 MONTHS OF CONSTRUCTION, THE SEAT THAT COMES DOWN
THAT AREA CIRCLED THAT BUILDING AND AUGUST, LESS THAN 24
HOSPITALS AFTER -- 24 MONTHS AFTER THE BUILDING WAS BUILT
THE WATERS FLOODED DOWN TO NORTH STREET WHICH IS THE STREET
IMMEDIATELY SOUTH.
HERE IS THE BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS OF -- OF THE P.A.L.
A NICE FACILITY 1924 DIANA.
BUT THIS IS WHAT IS SOUTH OF DIANA NOW.
THIS IS NORTH STREET.
THIS IS WHERE THE BUILDINGS WERE DESTROYED FROM THAT FLOOD,
FROM THAT WET FLOW.
AND WE ARE LEFT WITH A MESS.
FOUR BUILDINGS DESTROYED.
THE CITY OF TAMPA HAD TO COMPENSATE FOR THOSE UNIT OWNERS.
YOU SEE PART OF THE DRAINS BUILT HERE.
THEY WERE BUILT ALL AROUND THE BUILDING AND PETITION THOUGHT
THE WETLAND IN AND PUT TRAINS AROUND THE P.A.L. CENTER.
NICE DRAINS IN THE GROUND, BUT WERE THEY EFFECTIVE?
WELL, MILTON CAME AND DEPENDING ON WHO YOU ASK AT THE P.A.L.
TWO TO FOUR TO EIGHT INCHES OF WATER THAT CAME INTO THE
BUILDING.
THAT IS ANOTHER PROBLEM, AND THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU
STOP A WETLAND OR A CREEK.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE ON NORTH STREET?
NORTH STREET RIGHT NOW.
THE NEXT BLACK DOWN.
RAIN CONTINUES TO -- OR STORM RUN-OFF CONTINUES TO HAMMER
THAT AND THAT IS NOT EVEN MILTON.
THAT IS THE 8/26 -- AUGUST 26 STORM THAT JUST INUNDATED THE
AREA AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THE OTHER HOMES BETWEEN 6111
AND P.A.L. SUFFERED PROBLEMS.
AGAIN, THIS IS THE 8/26 STORM.
NOT MILTON.
THIS IS JUST HAPPENING ALL THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD
BECAUSE THE WETLAND HAS BEEN DAMAGED UPSTREAM.
NOW THE BIGGEST PROBLEM MIGHT BE THIS IS 6404 ROME RIGHT
ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND BUILT RIGHT
NEXT TO THE CREEK.
AND YOU CAN SEE THE DRAINS HERE THAT AREN'T FUNCTIONING
PROPERLY.
THIS GUY -- I DON'T KNOW IF JOHN IS HERE TODAY, BUT RAIN
COMES INTO THIS HOUSE.
THIS WAS BUILT IN 2023.
IT WAS BUILT ON FILL PER THE CITY'S REQUIREMENTS.
WE HAVE GOT TO ELIMINATE THE FILL GOING ON TO THIS PROPERTY
BECAUSE WHEN THAT WATER CONTINUES ON TO THAT PROPERTY, WE
WILL TURN THAT INTO PEA SOUP.
THESE BUILDINGS SHOULD BE BUILT ON POST AND BEAMS.
THERE IS NO REASON TO BE BRINGING FILL INTO THIS PROPERTY.
AND BY THE WAY, THAT WETLAND SHOULD BE SAVED SO IT CAN BE A
FEATURE OF THAT PROPERTY.
WETLAND ARE BEING RESTORED ON THE TAMPA -- ON HILLSBOROUGH
RIVER AT TOWER PARK AT ROWLETT PARK AND AT ROME PARK.
THOSE ARE BEING -- THAT WORK IS BEING DONE BY NATURE BASED
SOLUTIONS AND NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS CONTRACTED BY THE CITY
OF TAMPA TO DO THAT WORK.
WE ARE RESTORING WETLAND UP AND DOWN THE RIVER AND THEN WANT
TO DESTROY THE WETLAND VERY PROBLEMATIC TO THE DRAINAGE OF
AT AREA IF THAT GETS CUT OFF.
THIS TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF FILL CREATES JUST -- JUST A REAL
PROBLEM.
IF WE ARE BACK ON THE PROPERTY THINKING OF THE PROPERTY, WE
HAVE GOT TREES THAT THEY WANT TO ELIMINATE FROM THE PROPERTY
THAT IS TAKING TOO MANY TREES OUT.
THEY HAD IT AT 87%.
NOW THEY WANT 75%.
WELL, THAT IS GREAT, BUT HOW DO THEY GET TO 200% OR 100% OF
THE GREEN SPACE?
THEY DIDN'T TAKE ANY UNITS OUT.
WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IS ELIMINATED THE POND'S SQUARE FOOTAGE
ON THE PROPERTY.
WHEN THIS WAS FIRST BROUGHT OUT IN 2022, '23.
23 FEET OF POND.
NOW LESS THAN 8,000 SQUARE FEET OF SPACE.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS ENOUGH.
DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF THAT IS ENOUGH TO HANDLE THIS FLOW THAT
WILL COME FROM THE INTENSIVE STORMS, VOLATILE, VICIOUS AND
BIGGER STORMS THAT WE ARE GETTING.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT -- QUICKLY THE COASTAL REPORTS THAT
CAME OUT.
HIT ACELA AND PRODUCED IN JULY.
NICELY DONE.
GOOD STATISTICS.
A GOOD THEORETICAL BACKGROUND, AND THEY STATE THAT THE RIVER
AT THAT POINT IS TIDAL.
THAT'S CORRECT.
THERE IS NO FLOOD THAT WILL COME FROM THE RIVER.
WE ALL KNEW THAT.
TURNS RIVERINE, HOWEVER, WHEN THE DAM IS OPERATED TO RELEASE
THE WATER TO THE RIVER.
THAT IS WHEN YOU GET A PROBLEM.
RIGHT NOW IT IS MAINTAINED AT A CERTAIN LEVEL, BUT WITH
INCREASED STORMS, IF WE GET A BIG STORM AND THAT THING HAS
GOT TO START RELEASING MORE, WE GOT A PROBLEM.
OR WORSE IF THE DAM FAILS.
AND THEN THE FILL THEY ARE USING THAT IS UNCOVERED IS GOING
TO COME AND BE EXPOSED AND THE RUNOFF.
AND YOU GOT A QUESTION THEN, WHAT IS YOUR -- WHAT IS YOUR --
07:26:22PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:26:23PM >> WHAT IS YOUR PROPENSITY OF RISK AND APPETITE FOR RISK AT
THAT POINT.
YOU ARE PUTTING LEAVES AT RISK.
07:26:29PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
YOUR TIME IT UP.
07:26:31PM >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:26:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS PAUL BAY.
PUT IT UP THERE -- IF YOU HAVE A NUMBER, PLEASE PUT IT ON
THE BASKET --
07:26:48PM >> WHEN YOU COME UP, IF YOU CAN JUST PUT IT IN HERE.
THANK YOU.
07:26:51PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
MR. BAY, DO YOU HAVE A SPEAKER WAIVER
FORM?
NO?
YOU ARE GOOD.
YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND YOU MAY BEGIN.
07:27:02PM >> THANK YOU.
PAUL BAY.
I AM DIRECTLY ACROSS THE RIVER FROM WHERE IT HAS BEEN SHOWN.
THE ROME AVENUE PROJECT NEEDS TO BE GUTTED AND CUT BACK TO
SAVE THE INTEGRITY OF THIS COMMUNITY.
SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ONLY, PLEASE.
THE BUILDER CAN PUT THE APARTMENT BUILDINGS IN OTHER AREAS
LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, AND SOMEWHERE NEAR DOWNTOWN WHERE THE
JOBS ARE NEEDED AND AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED SUCH
APARTMENTS IN THE TAMPA AREA.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HEAR OUR CONCERNS.
WE HAVE TALKED TO AT LEAST 80 RESIDENTS IN THE AREA.
SEE THE PETITION LIST THAT YOU SAID DOESN'T COUNT.
AND EVERY ONE OF THEM ARE VIGOROUSLY OPPOSED TO THIS PLANNED
APARTMENT COMMUNITY AS IS.
IT MUST BE AMENDED FOR SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ONLY.
THEY DID NOT MENTION THE DOCKS THEY ARE GOING TO BUILD.
AND THEY DID NOT MENTION THE FACT THAT THEY USE COMPACT CARS
IN THEIR STUDY.
NOT VEHICLES FOR THE GARAGES BUT COMPACT.
MOST PEOPLE IN THERE WILL HAVE PICKUP TRUCK AND SUVs, NOT
JUST COMPACT CARS AND PARKED TANDEMLY, WHICH IS THIS WAY.
TO MOVE A VEHICLE, BOTH PEOPLE HAVE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE IN A
TANDEM SITUATION.
AND THE GARAGES THEY SHOWED YOU.
THIS IS THE ACCENT.
SO WITH OUR DOCKS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER AND THEIR
PLANNED DOCKS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER 20 FEET OF
RIVER ON LOW TIDE BETWEEN OUR DOCK AND THEIR DOCK.
AGAIN, WE ARE ACROSS THE RIVER AT LOW TIDE THERE WILL BE NO
PLACE TO GO.
THERE HAVE BEEN ACCIDENTS.
AND WE WILL SHOW YOU PHOTOS OF ACCIDENTS IN THE PAST.
THERE IS NO -- THERE IS TOTALLY NO SERVICE SPACE FOR PARKING
OF 100-PLUS VEHICLES YOU GOT TO REMEMBER THAT 100-PLUS
VEHICLES AND FOUR ACRES PLUS 40 SOMETHING HOUSES.
THIS ROOM MAY BE TWO HOUSE BUS HARD TO COMPARE SIZES.
THE 900 TRUCKLOADS OF FILL DIRT AND ONLY THREE RETENTION
PONDS.
WHERE WILL ALL THIS DRAINAGE GO FROM ALL THE CONCRETE.
SO THAT IS MY PART.
I HOPE YOU CONSIDER REJECTING IN COMMUNITY IN THIS LOCATION.
PUT IT IN ANOTHER LOCATION.
THANK YOU.
07:30:05PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
NEXT SPEAKER IS YANI LEGOS.
HELLO, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
07:30:19PM >> YANI LEGOS.
THANK YOU CITY COUNCIL FOR LETTING ME SPEAK TODAY.
I AM AN ATTORNEY.
I AM THE OWNER OF FLORIDA SPARTANS LLC THAT OWNS THE HOUSE ON
52 ALICIA AVENUE, SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE DIRECTLY NORTH OF THE
PROPERTY.
I LIVE ONE MILE AWAY FROM THE HOUSE.
WHAT I SPEND MOST OF MY TIME DOING CREATING DISEASE
RESISTANT ORANGE TREES.
SO REALLY FOCUSED ON BRINGING TREES BACK TO FLORIDA.
JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I WANT TO SAY IS.
NOT ANTI-DEVELOPMENT, BUT I AM CONCERNED OF THE WATER FALL
ON THIS PROPERTY SPECIFICALLY CAUSING DAMAGE OF 1522 ALICIA
AVENUE.
DURING HURRICANE HELENE, THE WATER LEVEL DID RISE UP TO THE
HOUSE.
IF IT WERE TO GONE ONE MORE FOOT UP, IT WOULD HAVE TOTALLY
FLOODED THE HOUSE.
THIS IS AN AREA OF FLOOD CONCERN AND ALSO DID NOT FLOOD
DURING HURRICANE MILTON, BUT TO POINT OUT WHAT I HEARD TODAY
A WETLAND ON THE PROPERTY THAT IS DIRECTLY SOUTH OF 1522
ALICIA AVENUE WHICH IS MY PROPERTY.
.2 ACRES THAT THE WETLAND WILL BE REMOVED, FILLED IN.
A COUPLE OF THIS I THINK SO THAT WERE SAID, THERE WILL BE AN
EXCEPTION FOR BUILDING SIX IN ORDER FOR BUILD ON TOP OF A
WETLAND.
THERE WAS AN EXCEPTION FOR ONE OF THE GOOD TREES, AND I ALSO
HEARD ONLY TWO OAKS AND ONE OTHER OAK WOULD BE SAVED ON THE
PROPERTY I HEARD THERE WOULD BE A WAIVER FOR RETENTION AND
SOUND LIKE A LOT OF EXCEPTIONS AND WAIVERS GOING ON SPECIFIC
TO THE WETLAND WHICH IS THE PRIMARY CONCERN THAT WE HAVE AT
1522 ALICIA AVENUE.
THOSE ARE THE THINGS I HEARD TODAY AND I WANT TO SAY THAT
THE CITY COUNCIL IS LOOKING AT THAT AND THE PLANNING
COMMISSION.
WE KNOW WITH HURRICANE HELENE AND MILTON, THAT FLOODING IS A
PRIMARY CONCERN.
AND SEEMS LIKE A LOT JUST FROM THE WORD THAT WERE SAID TODAY
A LOT OF EXCEPTIONS AND WAIVERS REGARDING THE WETLAND.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
07:32:23PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
SANDY SANCHEZ IS OUR NEXT SPEAKER.
DO YOU HAVE A SPEAKER WAIVER FORM, MA'AM?
07:32:35PM >> I WILL GET IT TO HIM SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WALK.
07:32:37PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE BY -- WHEN I CALL YOUR
NAME.
JANICE KATZ.
THANK YOU.
ADRIENNE LARAMIE.
THANK YOU.
THOMAS SPALDING AND NETTIE ASTIDO.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR FOR A TOTAL OF SEVEN MINUTES.
07:33:14PM >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.
MY NAME IS SANDRA DIEGO SANCHEZ.
AT THE BEGINNING OF LAST SUMMER, A FEW NEIGHBORHOOD
ACTIVISTS WERE INVITED TO THE RIVER BEND COMMUNITY MEETING
WITH THE DEVELOPERS.
IT IS BECAUSE OF THESE MEETINGS AND OTHER MEETINGS WITH THE
COMMUNITY THAT I'M HERE.
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR TONIGHT FROM THE COMMUNITY AS THIS
DEVELOPER WAS NOT INTERESTED IN COMPROMISING IN ANY WAY WITH
IN COMMUNITY NOR DID THEY HAVE THE COURTESY TO NOTIFY THE
COMMUNITY OF THEIR MEETING WITH THE EPC, BECAUSE OF THAT WE
ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ORIGINAL HEARING.
WHAT HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION BY THE CITY AND
COUNTY STAFF IS THIS PROJECT DOES NOTHING TO ENHANCE THE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT BLOCKS THE NEIGHBORHOOD FROM THE RIVER AND ADDS TRAFFIC
TO AN ALREADY BUSY ARTERIAL ROAD AND ENDANGERS THE RESIDENTS
IN THE COMPLEX AND AROUND THE SURROUNDING AREA.
AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, SACRIFICES AN IMPORTANT WETLAND AREA
AND MOST REVERED PARCEL WITH OVER 100 TREES.
CITY COUNCIL, THIS COMMUNITY IS YOUR MISSING MIDDLE.
BECAUSE OF ITS AGE AND CONTRIBUTION TO THE CITY, I WOULD
EVEN CONSIDER IT IS A HERITAGE COMMUNITY.
THERE ARE ACTUALLY HOPES THAT ARE AFFORDABLE IN THIS AREA.
APPROVING THIS PROJECT JEOPARDIZES THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE BY
ALLOWING AN IRRESPONSIBLE PD REZONING TO OPEN THE FLOODGATES
FOR MORE IRRESPONSIBLE BUILDINGS.
WE SAY WE NEED AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BUT THIS ISN'T IT.
THEY ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY LOWER HIGHER AMI, AFFORDABLE
HOUSING AVAILABLE.
I AM GOING TO ADDRESS ONE OF THE MANY REASONS THIS SHOULD BE
DENIED.
ON MARCH 7, 2024.
STEVEN BENSON AND JONATHAN SCOTT, CITY STAFF MEMBERS MADE AT
YOUR REQUEST.
THEY MADE A PRESENTATION TO CITY COUNCIL ABOUT MINIMUM GARAGES.
MR. SCOTT STATED IF YOU MAKE A GARAGE 18 X 18 FEET, YOU
WOULD HAVE JUMP OUT THE WINDOW TO GET OUT OF THE CARS.
HE SAID THIS IN PREPARING HIS REPORT, HE TALKED TO MANY
ARCHITECTS WITH LOTS OF EXPERIENCE BUILDING MANY HOUSES AND
THEY ALL SAID A TWO-CAR GARAGE SHOULD BE A MINIMUM OF 20
FEET BY 20.
HE ASKED -- HE ASKED THEM OF MAKING THE GARAGES SMALLER.
AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT DO IT.
IT WAS NOT A GOOD IDEA.
MR. SCOTT WENT ON TOP SAY THAT 20 X 20 IS A MINIMUM SIZE FOR
A TWO-CAR GARAGE BUT SOLID WASTE BINS ARE STORED INSIDE THE
GARAGE 22 X 20.
WITH THE WASTE RECEPTACLES 20 X 22.
USING THE SCALE ON THIS SITE PLAN, NOT A SINGLE GARAGE IS 20
BY 22, NOR HAS THE WASTE RECEPTACLES BEEN CONSIDERED.
ALSO IF YOU LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN, THE ONLY MEASUREMENT
SHOWING FOR THE GARAGE IS THE GARAGE DOOR DOES NOT GIVE THE
LENGTH AND WIDTH OF THE INTERNAL MEASUREMENTS OF THE GARAGE.
THE REALITY IS WHY THE STAFF DID NOT SHARE THIS INFORMATION
WITH THE DEVELOPER IS A QUESTION.
CERTAINLY HE HAS BEEN DEALING DEVELOPER LONG ENOUGH AND
ESPECIALLY SINCE MARCH OF THIS YEAR.
THE REALITY IS, ONLY ONE CAR CAN BE PARKED IN ALL THESE
GARAGES.
THAT MEANS IN REAL LIFE, NOT MAKE-BELIEVE LIFE, ONLY 45
GARAGES, SPACES THAT ARE USABLE.
ONLY INTERNAL SPACE IN THE GARAGE WILL NOT ACCOMMODATE A
SECOND CAR UNLESS IT IS POSSIBLY A MINI COOPER.
THEY HAVE NOT MET THE MINIMUM PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
ALL ARE ONE-CAR GARAGES.
THEY ARE SHORT OF THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
TO CHANGE THIS ISSUE COULD TAKE A MAJOR CHANGE OF THE PLANS
THAT CANNOT BE DONE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
EXHIBIT ONE I GAVE YOU IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN THE GARAGES ARE
TOO SMALL, THAT CARS HAVE TO PARK IN THE STREET.
THE SECOND ONE TAKEN DIRECTLY OFF OF THE PRESENTATION THAT
MR. SCOTT MADE SHOWING THE IMPOSSIBILITY TO OPEN THE DOORS.
ON MARCH 7 YOU COUNCILMEMBERS SAID YOU DON'T WANT UNUSABLE
GARAGES, BUT THESE GARAGES ARE USABLE.
TWO MAJOR COMP PLAN GUIDELINES THAT STAFF AND DEVELOPMENT
HAVE MISSED.
LAND USE OBJECTIVE 8.13.
DEVELOPER MUST BE CLUSTERED TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF OPEN
SPACE ACREAGE TO PRESERVE NATURAL RESOURCES INCLUDING
SIGNIFICANT WILDLIFE HABITAT, AQUIFER RECHARGE, FLOODPLAINS,
AND OTHER RESOURCES.
LAND USE POLICY 8.13.1.
TYPES OF USES ALLOWED IN THE OPEN SPACES AREA CONSISTENT
WITH PRESERVING SIGNIFICANT WILDLIFE HABITAT FUNCTION WITH
THE HABITAT.
PERMITTED USES CONSERVATION, MITIGATION AREAS, NATURAL
OBSERVING, HIKING, LANDSCAPING, PEDESTRIANS AND BIKE TRAILS.
I HAVE GIVEN YOU A HANDOUT WITH ALL OF THE CURRENT COMP PLAN
GUIDELINES THAT STAFF AND DEVELOPMENT HAS -- AND DEVELOPER
HAVE IGNORED.
THIS INFORMATION WAS TAKEN FROM THE CURRENT PUBLISHED
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND PLEASE REVIEW THEM AND DENY THIS
REZONING.
07:38:33PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MAN.
NEXT SPEAKER IS WENDY PATUZI.
GOOD EVENING.
PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
07:38:39PM >> WENDY PATUZI.
GOOD EVENING.
THANK YOU FOR HEARING US.
I AM A RESIDENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I AM A MOTHER IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND I JUST WANT TO BE
HEARD.
OKAY.
CURRENT ZONING WAS ESTABLISHED FOR REASONS TO PROTECT THE
SAFETY AND PIECE OF THIS SMALL RESIDENTIAL AREA.
STUFFING 40 POUNDS OF BOLOGNA IN A ONE-POUND BAD.
YOU CAN NOT ADEQUATELY MEET OUR MASSIVE DEMAND.
ON THE STREETS, SMALL TWO-WAY STREETS, NO SIDEWALKS AND VERY
HAVE VERY SMALL AREA.
WE WANT TO PRESERVE THE CHARACTER AND SAFETY OF OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE WANT TO.
WE HAVE QUESTIONS OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE, SEWER, WATER LINES,
STORMWATER.
CAN WE ADEQUATELY MEET THIS TYPE OF ABUNDANT AMOUNT OF
PEOPLE AND CARS AND EVERYTHING IN OUR BUILDING.
WORRIED OF LOCAL SCHOOLS, HANDLE IT.
THE POLICE, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, EVERYTHING WE USE ON A
DAILY BASIS FOR OUR SAFETY AND PROTECTION.
OF COURSE WE WANT TO PROTECT THE WETLANDS.
THE TREES.
WE DON'T WANT FILL.
WE WANT SOMETHING THAT IS SUSTAINABLE.
WE WANT SOMETHING THAT IS NATURAL IN OUR DEVELOPMENTS AND IN
OUR COMMUNITIES WE ARE NOT ANTI-DEVELOPMENT.
WE DON'T WANT THE NOISE, THE TRAFFIC, THE POLLUTION.
THE RS-10 ZONING FOR LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ZONING.
THIS IS 45 UNIT WITH THAT KIND OF CAPACITY IS NOT A LOAN
DENSITY ZONING IN MY EYES SO THIS HUGE DEVELOPMENT IS
OVERCROWDING OF A SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT IS DOING NOTHING TO HELP AN ALREADY BAD SITUATION.
WE HAVE A TWO-LANE STREET ON ROME.
BACKED UP FOR FIVE LIGHTS FROM -- IN FRONT OF THAT PROPERTY
TO GET TO HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE IN THE MORNING AND EVENING
JUST TO MAKE A LEFT OR A RIGHT.
NO ROOM FOR ANYTHING GOING IN EITHER DIRECTION.
SLIGH AVENUE BECOMES BACKED ON THE OTHER SIDE AND THEY ARE
COMING THROUGH OUR SIDE STREETS AT 30 ALREADY 35, 40 MILES
PER HOUR GOING THROUGH STOP SIGNS ON LITTLE, LITTLE STREETS.
MEASURE THE SIDE OF THE STREETS TO GET TO ROME TO GET HOW
THAT AGAIN.
ADDING THIS KIND OF CAPACITY OF PEOPLE WILL LOWER THE
QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD WE ARE INTERESTED
IN CHANGE.
CHANGE IS GOOD WHEN IT DOESN'T DAMAGE THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND
MAKES IT A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE.
RIGHT NOW THIS IS NOT HAPPENING WITH THIS PROPOSED
DEVELOPMENT.
PLEASE REJECT IT FOR ALL OF US.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
07:41:26PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT SPEAKER GODAM PATUZI.
07:41:35PM >> HELLO.
PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
07:41:37PM >> GOOD EVENING.
SAFETY IS THE BIGGEST CONCERN FOR ME AS A YOUNG PERSON.
611 ROME AVENUE SHOULD NOT BE DEVELOPED IN THIS WAY.
ADDING 40-PLUS UNITS WHICH ADDS 102-PLUS VEHICLES ON OUR
ONE-LANE STREET.
ROME AVENUE HARDLY HAS A SIDEWALK.
AND NONE OF THE SMALLER STREETS THAT EXIT TO ROME AVENUE
HAVE THEM EITHER AND IT GETS WORSE AND WORSE.
ENOUGH APARTMENTS, TRAILER PARKS, SINGLE AND MULTIFAMILY
HOMES ON NORTH ROME AVENUE.
OBVIOUSLY THERE IS NO NEED IN ADDING MORE HOUSING.
BUT ADDING A NATURE PARK ON A WETLAND CAN BE A VERY POSITIVE
DEVELOPMENT.
ONE PROPERTY THAT IS JUST DOWN THE STREET FROM THIS
DEVELOPMENT WAS ACTUALLY STOPPED.
SO NOW IT IS JUST A NATURAL WETLAND AND ONLY ONE PROPERTY
AWAY.
DUE TO THE TRAFFIC ON SLIGH AND ROME, SMALL STREETS ALWAYS
HAVE CARS.
DRIVERS SPEED THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, FLYING THROUGH STOP
SIGNS AND EXTREMELY EXCEEDING ALL THE SPEED LIMITS.
SINCE I HAVE LIVED IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD FOR MORE THAN TEN
YEARS, AND I HAVE SEEN THE ROADS EVERY SINGLE DAY, MY EXPERT
OPINION IS THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO WALK YOUR DOG, RIDE A BIKE
IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO NOW IMAGINE ADDING 40-PLUS MORE BUSTLE TO THIS AREA.
TURNINGS ON TO ROME AVENUE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
SAFETY IS MY BIGGEST CONCERN.
I SEE SO MANY DEAD ANIMALS ON THE STREET, AND I ALMOST HAVE
BEEN HIT WALKING AND RIDING MY BIKE DOWN THESE STREETS.
ROME AVENUE AND THE STREETS AROUND IT HAVE NOT DEVELOPED --
HAVE NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR WORKED ON.
SO MAYBE OUR FIRST POINT OF ACTION WILL BE DEVELOPING
SOMETHING LIKE THE ROADS.
ADDING SIDEWALKS AND PAVING.
ALL THESE POTHOLES AND BUMP-RIDDEN STREETS.
EVEN THOUGH THESE HORRIBLE HOLES DO HELP THE SPEEDING ISSUE.
IF THE PROPERTY OF 611 NORTH ROME AVENUE NEEDS TO BE
DEVELOPED, IT SHOULD BE DEVELOPED PURELY AS A PARK.
NOT A HOUSING DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL ONLY CAUSE ENVIRONMENTAL
ISSUES, TRAFFIC ISSUES AND ISSUES IN ALL FORMS OF LIFE THAT
LIVE AROUND THIS AREA.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
07:43:56PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
GAIL HARRIS FOLLOWED BY LINDA -- COME ON UP.
STATE YOUR NAME.
07:44:06PM >> GAIL HARRIS.
I AM GAIL HARRIS, AND I LIVE AT 6000 RIVER TERRACE ON THE
BEAUTIFUL HILLSBOROUGH RIVER.
THAT IS INTEREST EKT DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM 611 ROME AVENUE.
I, ALONG WITH 30 OTHER RESIDENTS, WHO SIGNED PETITIONS,
ANTI-CONSTRUCTION PETITIONS, STRONGLY OPPOSE THE REZONING OF
THIS BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY.
OKAY, HERE IS A PICTURE OF MY HUSBAND'S DOCK.
THIS IS A VERY NARROW PART OF THE RIVER.
AND THERE IS A LOT OF BOAT TRAFFIC.
AND THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS INCLUDE THREE TO FOUR NEW DOCKS
POSSIBLY 13 JET SKIS.
LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HUSBAND'S DOCK.
A BOAT CAME DOWN WITH AN EYE DOCTOR DRIVING AND TOTALLY --
IF HE HAD NOT RUN OFF THE DOCK, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.
WE TO NOT NEED MORE DOCKS AT THIS POINTIEST, NARROWEST PART
OF THE RIVER.
JUST LAST MONTH ANOTHER BOAT CAME DOWN AND HIT MY DOCK AND
WAS LODGED THERE.
IT IS THE POINT.
IT IS THE POINT OF THE RIVER.
I BEG YOU ENCOURAGE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MUCH NEEDED TOWN
HOUSES TO BE BUILT FURTHER INLAND.
THIS HUGE DENSITY WILL SEVERELY INCREASE TRAFFIC ON THAT
SMALL TWO-LANE AVENUE ROME CAUSED HUGE LOSS OF MUCH-NEEDED
TAMPA TREE CANOPY.
LOOK AT THE TREE CANOPY RIGHT ACROSS THE RIVER.
IT IS GORGEOUS.
IT WILL ALSO HURT THE WILDLIFE, INTENSIFY WETLAND PROBLEMS.
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER.
ONE MORE LOOK.
BEFORE AND AFTER, BANG!
SORRY, TEACHER.
07:46:27PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
LINDA POPPER FOLLOWED BY JOHN OVANK.
07:46:47PM >> DID YOU CALL LINDA?
07:46:49PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
YES, PLEASE COME UP.
07:46:51PM >> LINDA PARUPS.
07:46:54PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SORRY, WE HAD IT SPELLED DIFFERENTLY.
GO AHEAD, MA'AM.
07:47:00PM >> OKAY.
I HAVE A VIDEO.
MY NAME IS LANA PARUPS.
I LIVE TWO HOMES DOWN FROM THE PROPOSED REZONING FOR 46
YEARS.
07:47:10PM >> THE DEVELOPERS BLUEPRINT SHOWS WATER DISCHARGE POINT
RIGHT NEXT TO OUR END OF THE WASTEWATER LIFT STATION A BIG
POBD WHERE MY HUSBAND IS POINTING A FOUR FOOT --
07:47:34PM >> COMING FROM HANNA AVENUE.
07:47:35PM >> POND.
MY VIDEOS ARE GOING TOO FAST.
THERE IS A BIG WETLAND WITH A POND BEHIND THE WASTEWATER
LIFT STATION.
THIS IS MY BACK YARD ON A RAINY DAY.
07:47:48PM >> HERE IS MY WATER FLOWING.
FLOWING.
07:47:54PM >> ANOTHER RIVER IN MY BACK YARD.
THIS IS FROM HANNA AVENUE FROM WHERE THE -- THE PROPOSED
REZONING IS.
I AM ON THE RIVER.
IF YOU CAN GO BACK -- THE FIRST VIDEO.
THE FIRST PICTURE.
THE FIRST PICTURE.
IF YOU SEE THAT BLACK MARK THERE.
THAT IS THEIR WATER DISCHARGE POINT.
THE DEVELOPMENT'S WATER DISCHARGE POINT RIGHT NECK TO THE
WASTEWATER LIFT STATION IS THAT BIG WHITE SO THEIR WATER
DISCHARGE IS EITHER GOING INTO A WASTEWATER LIFT STATION OR
NEXT TO IT.
WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE HURRICANES WHEN THE
WATER WENT INTO THERE.
ALL THE NEW HOMES ON THE REFER ARE HOMES WITH VERY LITTLE
FILL DIRT.
I AM NOT AGAINST DEVELOPMENT
BUILD HOMES AROUND THESE TREES AND WETLANDS THAT LOOK LIKE
THE REST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
MRS. PRESERVE THE NATURAL HISTORIC WATER SHEET FLOW.
PLEASE SAY NO TO THIS.
I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO FLOOD MYSELF OUT AND ALL THE
NEIGHBORS AND THE WASTEWATER LIFT STATION.
FROM THEIR MAP IT SHOWS THAT IS THE POINT OF DISCHARGE FROM
ALL THE DRAINAGE.
6111 ROME AVENUE.
YOUR POINT OF DISCHARGE IS INTO A WASTEWATER LIFT STATION?
THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME.
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.
PLEASE SAY NO TO THIS.
07:49:39PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT SPEAKER JOHN EKVINK.
07:49:43PM >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.
JOHN ELVINK, WEST STANLEY AVENUE.
FOUNDING MEMBER OF FRIENDS OF THE RIVER.
BEHALF OF OUR 1679 -- ONE MORE THAN YESTERDAY -- MEMBERS.
I ASK THAT YOU NOT APPROVE THIS REQUEST FOR REZONING.
IT DOES NOT CONFORM TO SEVERAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES.
FRIENDS OF THE RIVER WAS FOUNDED IN JANUARY OF 2000 IN TAMPA
AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION TO MAINTAIN AND
IMPROVE THE FUTURE HEALTH, ENVIRONMENTAL RECREATION
PROPRIETARY VALUES OF HILLSBOROUGH RIVER AND ADJACENT PLANS
ON WATER.
THE PURPOSE OF THE REZONINGS WILL BE ALLOWING BUILDING
45RESIDENTIAL UNITS AND PROPOSAL TO ADD UP TO 14 DOCKS
EXPEND WHAT IS A VERY NARROW PART OF THE HILLSBOROUGH RIVER.
YOU HEARD AT LOW TIDE NO WIDER THAN 20 FEET.
OF COURSE, THE DOCKS BUILDING IS NOT REQUESTED IN THIS
REZONING REQUEST BECAUSE THAT IS A LATER ISSUE BUT IT WILL
BE DEALT WITH.
AND I ASK FOR YOU TO TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT.
WITH BOB DYLAN, TIMES ARE ACHANGING.
WHAT WAS OKAY 20 YEARS AGO IN THE COMP PLAN MAY NOT BE OKAY
AT THIS POINT.
AS PRESENTED, PROPOSAL IS APPEARS TO BE IN VIOLATION OF THE
COASTAL IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
I MENTION IT TO COUNCIL.
I WON'T QUOTE THEM AGAIN.
CERTAINLY THE SITE SUN DEVELOPED INCLUDING A NUMBER OF
NATURE TREES INCLUDING GRAND OAKS.
MORE COURTS ARE RECOGNIZING THAT WETLANDS, TREES AND ANIMALS
HAVE RIGHTS AND ECONOMIC VALUES, THE DESTRUCTION OF ONE OF
THE LAST UNINTERRUPTED AREAS WILL BRIDGE HARM TO RIVERS,
LANDS AND WATER BODIES.
IT IS OF INTEREST OF THE 1679 MEMBERS OF THE CITY OF TAMPA AND
ITS CITIZENS.
THIS PROPOSAL REQUIRES AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF FILL DIRT TO
BRING TO THE ENTIRE PROPERTY OF THE 12-FOOT ELEVATION.
SPECIFIED IN THE PLAN APPLIES FOR CONSTRUCTION OF RETAINING
WALL AND RIPRAP IN VIOLATION OF THE COMP PLAN.
FRIENDS HAVE TWO ADDITIONAL CONCERNS.
AMOUNT OF FILL DIRT OF THE NEW ELEVATION WILL SERIOUSLY ADD
TO WASTEWATER AND RAIN RUNOFF IN THE RIVER.
ON THE AMOUNT -- ON THE AMOUNT OF TRASH PRODUCED BY THE
80-PLUS NEW INHABITANTS.
A LOT WILL END UP IN THE RIVER.
AS WELL, FLOODING IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUES.
I LIVE THREE QUARTER MILES OF UP RIVER FROM THE PROPERTY.
DURING HELENE INCHES OF WATER IN MY HUSBAND.
FROM MILTON, HOUSE WAS FLOODED WITH RUNOFF.
DESPITE OF THE NEGATIVE SEARCH, RIVER WAS HIGH WITH RAIN
WATER FLOWING OVER THE DAM.
DURING HELENE, THE HEIGHT OF THE LEVEL OF THE RIVER OF THE
DAM WAS 9.36 FEET.
DURING MILTON OVER 10 FEET.
THERE IS FLOODING DANGER.
OUR LAST CONCERN LOWER HILLSBOROUGH RIVER IS HOME TO MANY
SPECIES OF AQUATIC RIGHTS.
INCLUDING MANATEES.
THEY ARE PROTECTED UNDER THE ACT AND FEDERALLY PROTECTED.
BUILDING THE DOCK ALSO HURT THEM.
07:52:54PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU.
ASISHI TUCU.
FOLLOWED BY NANCY STEVENS AND WALTER WORD.
HELLO.
PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
07:53:09PM >> GOOD EVENING.
ANY NAME IS ASISHI TUCU.
GOOD EVENING TO EVERYONE.
SHORT AND SHEET.
MY NAME AGAIN.
AND I'M HERE TO EXPRESS MY SUPPORT FOR THIS PROPOSE
DEVELOPMENT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
I LIVE SEVERAL STREETS DOWN FROM THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.
WHEN I PURCHASED THIS HOME, I DID SO WITH AGREE AMOUNT OF
EXCITEMENT FOR THE POTENTIAL THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HAD AND HOLDS
AND FOR THE PROJECTS LOOK THICK THAT SIGNAL GROWTH, RENEWAL
AND OPPORTUNITIES.
KNOWING THAT THERE WAS AN EYE ON RIVER BEND AND A VISION FOR
TRANSFORMATION PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN ME PURCHASING MY HOME,
MY FIRST HOME.
THIS DEVELOPMENT REPRESENTS THE KIND OF PROGRESS BY BRINGING
IN NEW HOUSING, ATTRACTING INVESTMENTS AND PROVIDING
RESOURCES THAT CAN BENEFIT CURRENT AND FUTURE RESIDENTS.
BY UNDER UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS OF TREE REMOVAL AND WETLAND
MITIGATION AND I NEVER PRETEND TO BE AN EXPERT; HOWEVER, THE
WETLAND IMPACT APPROVAL AND THE PLANS THAT THE APPLICANT HAS
SHOWN DEFINITELY EXHIBIT THEIR COMMITMENT TO ENSURE THAT THE
PROJECT CAN RESPONSIBLY BALANCE GROWTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL
STEWARDSHIP.
TAMPA IS A CITY ON THE RISE AND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HAS A
CHANCE TO BE PART OF THAT MOMENTUM.
THE DEVELOPMENT WILL BREED NEW LIFE IN THIS AREA CREATING
VIBRANT COMMUNITY OF THE POTENTIAL I SAW WHEN I FIRST
DECIDED TO PURCHASE MY HOME THERE.
I ASK YOU TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
07:54:42PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
NANCY STEVENS.
07:54:48PM >> GOOD EVENING, NANCY STEVENS.
I REPRESENT THE SIERRA CLUB TAMPA GROUP.
AND WE SENT A LETTER REQUESTING YOU TO DENY THIS PD.
I WILL ALSO BE REPRESENTING THE TREE ADVOCACY GROUP TO DENY
THE PD AND TREE WAIVERS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.
I JUST WANTED TO TALK FIRST OF ALL.
MY FIRST LINE ON THIS.
MY TALK IS DON'T FOOL WITH MOTHER NATURE.
THE REASON IS THE RAIN.
YOU HEARD A LOT AND MANY STORMS THIS YEAR, HURRICANES.
WITH WE HAD A STORM SEPTEMBER 4 ABOUT THE RIVER ROSE.
FIVE FEET IN ONE HOUR.
IT WAS A RECORD 3.38, 39 INCHES OF RAIN IN THE AIRPORT AND
NOT UNUSUAL WITH CLIMATE CHANGE THIS WILL HAPPEN ALL THE
TIME.
THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED TODAY CEMENTS OVER -- AS YOU
HEARD THE WETLANDS NEXT TO THE HILLSBOROUGH RIVER WHICH WILL
AGGRAVATE ANY TYPE OF WATER FLOW AND YOU HEARD SEVERAL
PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THE WATER FLOW IF YOU LOOK AND TRY TO PUT
THIS ONE UP.
YOU SEE THE PROPERTY AND THE DELINEATED WETLANDS AND PUT
FILL IN HERE AND WILL INTERRUPT A LOT OF FOLKS.
ONE THING THAT HAS NOT BEEN MENTIONED ON THIS CHART, RIPRAP
BEING INSTALLED.
IT SAID THE RIPRAP.
I CAN'T READ IT SO SMALL.
ALONG RIVER FOR EROSION GROWTH.
I WOULD IMAGINE THAT NEEDED BECAUSE THE OVERDEVELOPMENT --
FILL, RETAINING WALL, INTERRUPTING THE FLOW, INSTALL RIPRAP.
WELL RIPRAP IS ILLEGAL.
THIS IS A COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA.
THIS IS STORM SURGE AND THE USE OF SEAWALLS AND RIPRAP FOR
BEACH SHORELINE IS PROHIBITED.
SO THAT ALONE SHOULD STOP THIS PARTICULAR PROPOSAL BECAUSE
IT IS VIOLATING THAT COASTAL MANAGEMENT POLICY.
ALSO THE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY 3.1.1 WHICH WAS CITED EARLIER
A PROVISION IN HERE THAT SAYS THE SAME THING SIMILAR FOR THE
HILLSBOROUGH RIVER.
DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT FOR HILLSBOROUGH RIVE
FRONTAGE WILL REDUCE THE NEED FOR SEAWALL OR OTHER HARDENED
SHORELINE BY PROVIDING ALTERNATIVE EROSION CONTROL DESIGNS.
SO THE REQUEST HERE THAT YOU -- THAT THE PD SHOULD BE
WORKING WITH NATURE, RETAINING.
SHOULD RETAIN 50% OF THE EXISTING TREES.
NO TREE WAIVER AND WORK WITH CONTROL AND EROSION CONTROL IN
THE RIVER.
THIS PD SHOULD BE DENIED AND DEVELOPED TO CONFORM WITH THE
COMP PLAN.
THANK YOU.
07:57:37PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
WALTER WORTH, FRANK GRECO AND BOB
WHITMORE.
HELLO, SIR.
PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
07:57:58PM >> MY NAME IS WALTER WORTH.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK.
BEFORE YOUR AUGUST COUNCIL.
WE SEE MANY PRESENTATIONS.
THERE SEEMS TO BE A FACT HERE THAT THIS WATER, THAT THE
PROPERTY THAT IS CONCERNED HERE IS ON A NATURAL FLOW OF
WATER FROM THAT TO THE WEST AND TO THE NORTH.
THIS WATER HAS BEEN COMING FOR, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE CENTURY
ARE WHO KNOWS HOW LONG.
IT IS NOT GOING TO STOP.
NO MATTER HOW HIGH THE NEW DEVELOPMENT IS OR HOW MANY DAMS
MAY BE PUT UP.
THIS WATER IS GOING TO COME AND IT IS GOING TO COME AND
COME.
HURRICANES DOESN'T MATTER.
HEAVY RAINS, IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER.
IT IS A NATURAL FLOW OF THIS WATER AND IT IS GOING TO GO
SOME PLACE.
AND IF IT CAN'T GO THROUGH THE SUBJECT DEVELOPMENT, IT HAS
GOT TO GO AROUND IT AND FLOOD OUT THE NEIGHBORS.
IT SEEMS VERY LIKELY THAT THE SUBJECT PROPERTY CAN GET
FLOODED OUT PRETTY EASILY NO MATTER WHAT THEY HAVE SAID THEY
ARE GOING TO DO.
YOU CAN NOT STOP A CREEK.
YOU CAN NOT STOP THE NATURAL FLOW OF WATER DOWN A HILL.
KEEPS GOING AND IT KEEPS COMING AND COMING AND COMING.
SO I WOULD ASK THE COUNCIL TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER WHAT THE
APPROVAL OF THIS DEVELOPMENT WOULD BRING.
IT WOULD BRING A LOT OF EXPENSE TO THE CITY OF TAMPA FOR ONE
THING IF INDEED THESE HOMES ARE LITTLE BIT.
TO SAY NOTHING OF THE DEGRADATION OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND
WHO IS BENEFITTING FROM ALL THIS?
ARE THE NEIGHBORS?
ARE THEY BENEFITING?
IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD?
IS THE CITY OF TAMPA BENEFITTING FROM THIS PROJECT?
WHO IS BENEFITING?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.
08:00:22PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU, SIR.
FRANK GRECO, BOB WHITMORE, ROB HASH.
08:00:28PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
MR. GRECO HAS FIVE NAMES.
JAMES HALEY.
DAVID SNYDER.
ALISON DATE.
KEVIN FOX.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR NAMES.
TOTAL OF SEVEN MINUTES, PLEASE.
08:01:00PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
GO AHEAD, SIR.
08:01:02PM >> MY NAME IS FRANK GRECO AND I LIVE IN RIVER BEND -- EXCUSE
ME 5440 NORTH RIVER SHORE DRIVE AND I AM ONE OF THE
NEIGHBORS TO THE SOUTH OF THIS PROJECT.
YOU PROBABLY HAVE ALREADY SEEN THE AERIAL PHOTO OF THE
PROPERTY IN QUESTION.
THIS IS AN AERIAL PHOTO BEFORE THE SALE AND SHOWS THE
BUILDINGS THAT WERE ON THE PROPERTY AT THE TIME I ALSO HAVE
A FEMA FLOOD MAP WHICH -- OH, SORRY.
THERE WE GO.
CAN'T SEE IT?
08:01:41PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO.
08:01:44PM >> IT'S A MAP.
08:01:45PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
WE WILL BRING IT OUT ON THE MANY SCREEN.
GIVE IT A SECOND.
PAUSE HIS TIME.
08:01:50PM >> THERE IT IS.
A PICTURE OF THE -- OF THE AERIAL PHOTO OF THE PROPERTY
BEFORE THE -- BEFORE THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY AND IT
ACTUALLY SHOWS THE BUILDINGS ON THE PROPERTY.
TWO BUILDINGS.
I ALSO HAVE A FEMA FLOOD MAP AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THE GREEN
AERIAL AND BLUE AREA WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT IS THE
ELEVATION IS 1 FOR THE PROPERTY.
WHERE BUILDINGS HAVE TO BE BUILT AND THE FLOOD ZONE AREA.
AS YOU CAN SEE PRETTY MUCH TWO-THIRDS OF THAT PARTICULAR
PROPERTY.
WHICH MEANS NO TOPOGRAPHICAL SURVEY FOR THIS PROPERTY THAT
WE HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO SHOW WHAT THE ELEVATIONS ARE THAT WILL
BE VERY HELPFUL.
AGAIN, THE ELEVATION WILL BE 11 FEET FOR THE BASE FLOOD
ELEVATION PLUS 12 INCHES FOR A FREE BOARD.
THE CITY OF TAMPA REQUIRES A FREE BOARD.
AND I MIGHT MENTION THAT I WAS FORMALLY A PLANS EXAMINER FOR
THE CITY OF TAMPA AND I WAS A FEMA CERTIFIED FLOOD PLAIN
MANAGER.
THE BUILDING DETAILS ON THIS PROPERTY SHOW THE ELEVATIONS AS
FAR AS THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING, WHICH IS 34 FEET;
HOWEVER, THEY DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO PUT A LITTLE BIT OF AN
ARCHITECTURAL FEATURE ABOVE THAT.
I WANT TO POINT OUT THOUGH, THAT THEY START OFF AT ZERO.
THEY DON'T START AT THE EXISTING GRADE.
SO FROM ZERO TO 34 FEET, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DIMENSION OF
THIS AREA IS, WHICH IS THE EXISTING GRADE TO THE FINISHED
FLOOR ELEVATION.
AND WE WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW ON THEIR SITE PLAN ON THE BACK
OF THE PROPERTY WHERE I GUESS THESE ARE THE FRONT ENTRANCES.
AS YOU CAN SEE IT GRADUATES DOWN AS IT GOES CLOSER TO THE
RIVER.
AND YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE SEVERAL STEPS TO GET DOWN TO
GRADE; HOWEVER, ON THE STREET SIDE AND THE GARAGE SIDE, IT
IS AT GRADE.
SO THIS IS AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF FILL.
AS YOU HEARD OTHER PEOPLE TALK ABOUT, THE FILL WILL REQUIRE
WELL WALLS TO PROTECT THE TREES.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE STEP WALL OR THE FILL -- OR THE
RETAINING WALLS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE HOW TALL IT WILL BE.
HOW MUCH FILL ON THE PROPERTY OR ANYTHING TO THAT EFFECT.
THIS BLUE LINE IS ACTUALLY THE WETLAND LINE.
AND THAT LINE IS GOING TO BE FILLED AND MITIGATED IN ANOTHER
AREA SO WE DON'T HAVE -- SO THEY WON'T HAVE TO.
SO THEY WILL NOT HAVE A WETLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
DEVELOPMENT.
NOW YOU HAVE HEARD WHAT THE NEIGHBORS HAVE SAID ABOUT ALL
THE FILL DIRT AND, AGAIN, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE AMOUNT OF
FILL DIRT IS.
WE ARE ESTIMATING SIX TO SEVEN FEET AT THE EASTERN END WHICH
CLOSER TO THE RIVER.
LET'S SEE WHAT FEMA SAY ABOUT IT.
FEMA SAYS THE PLACEMENT OF FILL IN THE SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD
AREA CAN INCREASE THE BFE, THE BASE FLOOD ELEVATION, BY
REDUCING THE SOIL'S ABILITY TO CONVEY AND RESTORE
FLOODWATERS.
AN INCREASE IN THE BASE FLOOD ELEVATION CAN RESULT IN
INCREASED FLOODING DABBLING TO BOTH UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM
PROPERTIES, WHICH AS YOU KNOW, THERE ARE PROPERTIES TO THE
NORTH AND TO THE SOUTH OF IT.
SO WITH THE ADDITIONAL FILL, THE NATURAL FLOW OF THE SHEET
FLOW OF THE PROPERTY, THE HISTORIC SHEET FLOW WILL BE
DISRUPTED AND DIVERT THAT FLOOD WATER INTO THOSE NEIGHBORING
PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH AND TO THE SOUTH.
THERE IS NO OTHER WAY AROUND IT BECAUSE THE LAND, THE NEW
ELEVATIONS ARE NOT GOING TO SUPPORT THAT SHEET FLOW AS IT --
AS IT IS INTENDED TO DO.
THE EPC APPROVED THE GULF WETLAND.
AND THE MITIGATION CREDITS REMOVED ANY BENEFIT TO THAT
COMMUNITY BY KNIT GATING IT TO SOME OTHER AREA AND I WOULD
LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT AREA THEY ARE MITIGATING TO IS NOT
EVEN IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY.
THAT IS A LOSS OF BENEFIT TO OUR COMMUNITY AT RIVER BEND.
ALSO THE EPC WAS CONSISTENT IS APPROVING THE FILLING OF
WETLANDS WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
.2 MILES, THE WETLANDS ALLOWED TO BE FILLED OR MITIGATED.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THE TRAFFIC IMPACT,
ADDITIONAL 90 CARS THAT THEY HAVE APPROVAL FOR 102 CARS ARE
GOING TO GO ON TO THE NARROW ROADWAY IN FRONT OF IT WHICH IS
ROAD.
ONE HOUR IN EACH DIRECTION.
ARE YOU SHALL HOUR BACK-UP FROM HILLSBOROUGH AND SLIGH IS
HORRENDOUS.
GOES BACK HALF A MILE IN THE MORNINGS AND HALF A MILE IN THE
AFTERNOON.
THERE WAS A STUDY DONE.
IT WAS DONE ON NOVEMBER 11, WHICH HAPPENS TO BE VETERANS
DAY.
NO NOT ALL OF THE TRAFFIC STUDIES REALLY APPLY TO THIS
TRAFFIC.
ISSUE THAT WE HAVE THE CITY'S COMMITMENT FOR IMPROVEMENTS
ARE DESPERATELY NEEDED.
A TURN AREA GOING EASTBOUND AND WE HAVE NOT GOT IT YET.
WHAT THE PEOPLE DO COMING DOWN ROME AVENUE, THEY CUT THROUGH
THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE THEY KNOW THERE IS ANOTHER LIGHT AT
LEE PLACE WAIT FOR THAT LIGHT AND GET EASTBOUND ON TO
HILLSBOROUGH BECAUSE THERE IS NO PROVISION IN THE TRAFFIC
PLAN FOR ADDING A TURN ARROW AT HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE TO GO
EASTBOUND.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, AND I THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR LISTENING TO US AND WE -- WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR
DECISION.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
08:08:13PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
BOB WHITMORE.
ROD HATCH, DEB LOCANA.
HE WAS HIDING THE BACK.
08:08:23PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
08:08:27PM >> BOB WHITMORE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF CITY TREE.
GOOD TO SEE YOU GUYS AGAIN.
I AM NOT PARTICULARLY OPPOSED TO DEVELOP ON THIS PIECE OF
PROPERTY, BUT REZONING LIKE THIS IS A BETRAYAL TO AN
ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD.
AS MOST REZONING IS.
IT IS ON WETLANDS, SO THERE IS THAT.
COUNTER TO EVERYTHING THAT TREE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING
EVERY SINGLE TIME WE STAND HERE FOR A DECADE.
WE ARE TALKING 80 TREES THAT WILL BE COMING DOWN ON THIS
PROPERTY.
I CAN'T IMAGINE YOU GUYS WILL SIGN WAIVERS FOR THAT.
BAFFLE ME HOW A CORPORATION CAN BUY UP A PIECE OF PROPERTY
AND SPEND HUNDREDS IF NOT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
FOR PRELIMINARY PLANNING AND SHOWING COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR
TREES.
REGULATIONS PUT IN PLACE TO PROTECT PROPERTY LIKE THIS FOR
WHAT AMOUNTS TO BE CLEAR CUTTING, YOU CAN NOT CLEAR CUT
PROPERTY IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
THEN WHEN THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY PUSH BACK AND PROTECT A
DWINDLING CANOPY FROM BLATANT ACTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL RAPE,
THEY CRY FOUL AND SAY THEY ARE NOT TREATING FAIRLY.
EASY MARCH THROUGH THIS COUNCIL AND PASS THE MAYOR'S
COMMITMENT TO PRESERVE A DWINDLING CANOPY.
IT IS COMPLETELY REASONABLE AND NO WAY ANTI-DEVELOPMENT FOR
THIS CITY COUNCIL TO DENY THIS DEVELOPER PERMISSION TO
CREATE A PROBABLY THAT REMOVES 75% OF THE TREES IN THE
PROPERTY INCLUDING A GRAND OAK.
YOU CAN NOT CLEAR CUT LAND IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
75% OF THE TREE IS CLEAR CUTTING AND A REASON YOU CANNOT
CLEAR CUT.
TREES, AMONG ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS THEY DO IS ALSO
STRAWS.
IF YOU CLEAR CUT 80 TREES OFF OF THIS PROPERTY, IF YOU THINK
YOU SAW FLOODING THIS AREA BACK WHEN MILTON CAME THROUGH, IT
WILL BE NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THESE TREE
ARE GONE.
IT IS COMPLETELY REASONABLE THAT THIS COUNCIL AND THIS CITY
INSIST THAT THIS DEVELOPER WORK WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF
NATURAL RESOURCES TO CREATE A DEVELOPMENT THAT TAKES ITS
POUND OF FLESH AND NO MORE.
PLEASE, AND NO MORE.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO THE RESIDENTS OF RIVER BEND, THIS CITY
AND PLANET.
WE MAKE IT A PIVOTAL MOMENT.
THIS IS THE ONE.
THE PIVOTAL MOMENT WHEN THE MANDATE BECOMES CRYSTAL CLEAR
REGARDING THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
WE WILL NOT MORTGAGE OUR ENVIRONMENTAL FUTURE SO A HANDFUL
OF MEN AND WOMEN CAN MAKE FISTFULS OF MONEY.
NOT WHAT THIS CITY DOES.
NOT MARCH TO OBLIVION ONE TREE AND A TIME.
MOST VALUABLE AGAINST GLOBAL WARMING AND FLOOD.
WE DO NOT BUILD ON WETLANDS.
ASK YOU ON BEHALF OF THE SANE CITIZENS IN TAMPA.
I SPEAK FOR THE PEOPLE OF TAMPA TO DENY THIS REZONING AND
SEND THIS DEVELOPER BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
[APPLAUSE]
[GAVEL SOUNDING]
08:11:28PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ALL RIGHT.
NEXT UP WE HAVE ROD HATCH, DEBRA LECANTA AND STEPHANIE
POYNOR.
HELLO, SIR, AND PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
08:11:38PM >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.
I AM ROD HATCH, 813 EAST PATTERSON STREET.
OF THE MOST NEGLECTED, ABUSED RESOURCE THAT THE CITY HAS AND
THAT IS THE HILLSBOROUGH RIVER AND THE WILDLIFE THAT LIVES
IN IT.
YOU TALK OF FACTS EARLIER, MR. SHELBY.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU FACTS ABOUT OUR HILLSBOROUGH RIVER.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE THIS OR NOT.
THIS IS A SAMPLE WATER TEST TAKING ON 1216.
POOR WATER QUALITY IS 70 PARTS PER 100 MILLILITERS.
264 PARTS.
THE CITY'S NEGLIGENCE WITH REGARDS TO OUR SEWERS AND POOR
LIFT STATIONS THAT WE HAVE.
BETWEEN DOWNTOWN AND ROWLETT PARK, 513 RESIDENTIAL AND
MULTIFAMILY LOTS.
NOW I AM NOT SURE HOW MANY DWELLING UNITS THAT REPRESENT,
BUT THAT IS PROBABLY RIGHT AROUND 1,000 TOTAL DWELLING UNITS
RIGHT THERE.
THIS DEVELOPER HAS DONE A GREAT JOB.
NOT HIS FAULT WHY THIS SHOULD BE DENIED.
FAULT LIES ON THE CITY OF TAMPA.
BECAUSE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE SUCKS.
OUR SEWER IS TERRIBLE.
OUR LIFT STATIONS STILL HAVEN'T BEEN UPDATED.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF HE IS GOING TO HAVE TO PUT A PRIVATE
LIFT STATION IN THERE OR NOT, BUT PRIVATE LIFT STATIONS
AREN'T EVEN REQUIRED TO HAVE A TELEMETRY SYSTEM ON THEM
STILL.
I COMPLAINED TO THE CITY FOR TWO YEARS NOW.
EVERY LIFT STATION HERE SHOULD HAVE A BACK-UP POWER SUPPLY
AND WE NEED TO STOP SEWAGE FROM GOING INTO OUR RIVER.
THERE ARE 20 MANATEES RIGHT NOW AT SULPHUR SPRINGS PARK.
THIS YEAR THEY WILL BE PLACED BACK ON THE ENDANGERED LIST
PROBABLY.
IF YOU APPROVE THIS, YOU ARE APPROVAL MORE SEWAGE IN OUR
RIVER.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
08:13:29PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU.
[APPLAUSE]
08:13:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
PLEASE -- [GAVEL SOUNDING]
-- PLEASE REFRAIN FROM CLAPPING.
08:13:41PM >> I HAVE A COUPLE EXTRA MINUTES.
WHERE DO I PLACE MY PHONE?
08:13:59PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
TOTAL OF SIX.
08:14:05PM >> DEBRA LOCANTA, 54 NORTH RIVER SHORE DRIVE.
NORTH OF THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION.
ON THE CORNER OF RIVER SHORE AND POWHATAN AND BASICALLY MY
HOUSE IS AT THE END OF THE HILL AT THE RIVER.
EVERYTHING FLOWS DOWN HILL.
WE WILL THINK ABOUT THAT.
I'M HERE TO BASICALLY TALK OF TRAFFIC.
THE TRAFFIC SURVEY THAT FRANK TALKED ABOUT, I REQUESTED THAT
FROM FDOT.
AND WE LOOKED AT THEIR SURVEY.
WE BROUGHT THAT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE PERSON TO THE FOLKS
THAT ARE PRESENTING TODAY AND WE EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT WE
SAW.
I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF IT.
WE TALKED OF THE KID AND THE BASEBALL FIELD, P.A.L. RIGHT
ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PROPERTY.
IT IS FOR OUR YOUTH.
IT IS FOR OUR KIDS.
THEY PLAY.
IT IS AN AREA WHERE KIDS ARE GOING TO BE PLAYING CLOSE TO
THE STREET.
SO THEY ARE IN THAT AREA, BUT IT IS VERY CLOSE.
TRAFFIC IS A NIGHTMARE.
YOU HEARD EVERYBODY LAUGH ABOUT TRAFFIC.
I LIVE ON -- WHEN I GO POWHATAN TO ROME AVENUE, MY
DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL IS TO THE LEFT.
I GO TO THE RIGHT.
BECAUSE I CANNOT GET OUT OF THE STREET.
I AM HEADING NORTH ON ROME AVENUE TO MAKE A LEFT ON HENRY.
CARS ARE COMING AT ME COMING THE OPPOSITE WAY.
TWICE WE HAD TO STOP BECAUSE THE CARS ARE COMING AT ME
BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC IS SO FAR BACKED UP COMING DOWN THE
WRONG WAY.
THEN THEY COME DOWN POWHATAN.
I KEEP MY ANIMALS IN BETWEEN 7 AND 9 A.M. BECAUSE I WANT
THEM TO LIVE.
WE ALWAYS HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL OF WHAT WE ARE DOING.
THE CARS ARE DRIVING SO FAST THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD THEY
ARE NOT AWARE OF WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
THERE IS A CURVE RIGHT AT THE END OF POWHATAN.
THE CITY PUT UP SOME SIGNS THAT SHOW BIG ARROWS BECAUSE OF
CURVES.
PEOPLE ARE DRIVING RIGHT THROUGH AND WE ARE HAVING A
PROBLEM.
I WAS GOING TO SHOW YOU THIS PICTURE HERE, WHICH IS THE
SEWER DRAIN BETWEEN MY HOUSE AND MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE.
IT IS A BIG CONCRETE WHERE ALL THE WATER COMES OFF ROME
AVENUE, FLOWS DOWN POWHATAN AND WATER COMES -- AND TRAINS
OUT OF THIS SEWER METAL CONCRETE THING.
IT IS ERODED.
ALL THE WATER IS COME DOWN.
PUSH THROUGH SO FAST THIS IS WHAT MY NEIGHBORS EROSION LOOKS
LIKE ON HER DOCK.
THAT IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
I DIDN'T SHOW MY PROPERTY.
IT IS WORSE.
I DON'T HAVE A DOCK BUT THAT IS WHAT IS GOING ON THERE.
THE GREEN -- THEY TALKED ABOUT CARS.
102 CARS.
THEY SAID BETWEEN 18 IN THE MORNING AND 24 IN THE P.M. 2.5%
USAGE.
I WOULD LIKE FOR SOMEBODY TO COME AND DO ANOTHER TRAFFIC
STUDY TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON ROME AVENUE.
THAT WAS DONE MAYBE FOUR YEARS AGO.
MAYBE TIME TO DO ANOTHER ONE.
I OPPOSE THIS PROJECT BECAUSE THE SAFETY OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE CARS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SOMEONE WILL GET HURT.
YOUR FIVE-YEAR PLAN FOR THE CITY IS TO PUT A BIKE LANE.
FIVE-YEAR PLAN UP RIVER SHORE DOWN POWHATAN DOWN ROME DOWN
ALICIA RIGHT IN FRONT OF ALL OF OUR PROPERTIES.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE HURT AND INJURED
IN THAT BIKE PATH THAT YOU PROPOSE IN YOUR T.I.P. PLAN FOR
THE CITY.
WHAT ELSE?
MY BACKGROUND, 20 YEARS WITH FED EX.
TEN YEARS AS TRANSPORTATION DIRECTOR IN PINELLAS COUNTY
SIMILAR TO THE SUNSHINE LINE.
I HAVE MY OWN TRANSPORTATION COMPANY.
I WAS CERTIFIED BY FED EX WITH THEIR SMITH SYSTEM WHICH IS A
TRAINING FOR DRIVERS.
THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE AREA.
ALL THROUGH THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HERE WHERE THEY ARE PUTTING
THESE PROJECTS.
THEY ARE PUTTING ALL THESE HOUSES, ALL THESE CARS.
I WOULD PLEASE ASK YOU TO DO MORE RESEARCH TO SEE WHAT THE
IMPACT WILL BE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND HOW IT WILL AFFECT
THE STREETS AROUND US BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS CUTTING THROUGH
LIKE YOU SAID.
THEY ARE CUTTING DOWN THROUGH HENRY.
AN ACCIDENT ON HENRY AND ARMENIA.
I DRIVE DOWN HENRY TO DRIVE DOWN ARMENIA TO GET TO MY
DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL OTHER SIDE OF HILLSBOROUGH AND I CAN'T
TURN LEFT BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE BLOCKING HENRY AND ARMENIA.
SO I AM WAITING FOR LIGHTS.
SO I CURVE.
SO I CAN PARK.
SO I CAN GET INTO THAT LANE THERE.
SO I REALLY THINK THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE TRAFFIC
STUDIES DONE.
A LOT OTHER STUDIES THAT NEED TO BE DONE AS WELL I THINK
FRANK TALKED OF THE LIGHT AT HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE.
NO LEFT-TURN LANE.
A BIG DITCH BY THE MOBIL GAS STATION IN YOU WANT TO TRY TO
GO FORWARD SO A BIG HOLE IF YOU DECIDE YOU WANT TO DRIVE A
TRUCK THROUGH THERE, THAT IS FINE.
MY BRAND-NEW VAN, I AM NOT GOING TO DRIVE THAT THERE.
I APPRECIATE YOU TAKE AGE TO LOOK AT THE TRAFFIC.
IF THIS IS YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
IF THIS IS HOW YOU WANT THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE COMMUNITY
LOOK, WIDEN ROME AVENUE.
FIGURE OUT SOMETHING THAT CAN HELP AND SUPPORT ALL OF US.
IF YOU WANT A BIKE LANE, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO MAKE
THAT BIKE LANE SAFE?
YOU APPROVED THE BIKE LANE.
LET'S GO BACK AND LOOK AT WHAT THAT BIKE LANE LOOKS LIKE
GOING DOWN THE STREET.
I WAS ON THE CALL WHEN YOU APPROVED IT.
AND I DID BRING UP MY CONCERNS AT THAT TIME.
SO I REALLY HOPE THAT SOMEBODY TAKES A LOOK AT THE TRAFFIC
AND THE EMOTION ON THE CITY.
ON THE RIVER.
THAT IS WHERE I WAS TRYING TO SHOW YOU THE EROSION ON THE
CITY WHERE THE -- THAT POPS UP.
WHERE THE DRAIN -- ALL THE WATER GOES SOME PLACE IN THE BIG
DRAIN.
ALREADY ERODED.
THE TREES ARE FALLING DOWN INTO THE RIVER.
YOU CAN SEE THE EROSION FROM THERE TO FLORIDA.
AND YOU SEE SOME OTHER STUFF THERE.
THE EROSION, THE TREES -- LET ME SEE IF I CAN FIND THIS ONE.
THE TREES FALLEN IN.
SINCE THE LAST HURRICANE, THE TREES HAVE FALLEN IN.
ALL THE WATER WILL GO SOME PLACE.
WILL GO BACK PROBABLY INTO THE RIVER AND GOING IN THIS BIG
AREA AND JUST ERODING THE RIVER ROAD.
AT THE END OF RIVER BEND -- THE OTHER RIVER SHORE, THE ROAD
IS COMPLETELY FLOODED.
ABOUT A FOOT LEFT.
AND SIT NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO.
I JUST ASK THAT YOU LOOK AT THIS WHOLE PROJECT, LOOK AT WHAT
THE -- WHERE THE WATER IS GOING TO GO.
WHAT THE IS GOING TO DO AND HOW IT WILL IMPACT US.
LOOK AT HOUSES ON THIS INSTEAD OF 45 UNITS.
THANK YOU.
08:20:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
STEPHANIE POYNOR, CARROLL ANN BENNETT AND TODD RANDOLPH.
08:20:29PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX NAMES.
ANNE DELANEY.
EXCUSE ME?
ANNE DELANEY HERE?
I AM SORRY.
THANK YOU.
MIKE ADDISON.
08:20:52PM >> HERE.
08:20:54PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
STEVE KING?
STEVE KING?
LAST CALL, MR. KING, STEVE KING.
LAWRENCE CORWIN.
THANK YOU.
INGRID SMITH.
THANK YOU.
PHIL COMPTON, THANK YOU.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE FOR A TOTAL OF EIGHT MINUTES.
08:21:19PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
08:21:23PM >> STEPHANIE POYNOR.
I FIND IT IRONIC THE SECOND DEVELOPMENT I TALKED ABOUT ON
THE RIVER, ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE RIVER.
I KNOW A LOT OF THE NIGHTMARE OF PARKING.
I LIVE IN A COMMUNITY THAT HAS 44 UNITS.
16 OF THOSE ARE DUPLEXES.
WHICH MAKES THEM 32.
AND 12 SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
WE HAVE MADE -- WHEN WE PURCHASED OUR PROPERTIES 13 YEARS
AGO, THERE WAS NO ON STREET PARKING.
WE HAVE MADE 27 PARKING SPACES ON AND CHANGED OUR DEED
RESTRICTIONS.
I DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY, THEY ARE GOING TO PARK -- THEY
WILL NOT ALL PARK IN THEIR GARAGES.
SO WE END UP WITH SITUATIONS LIKE THIS.
WE HAVE DEFICIENT DRIVEWAYS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
THIS DRIVEWAY HERE IS 13 FEET, EIGHT INCHES LONG.
YOU ALL KNOW HOW LONG YOUR CARS ARE.
SO YOU DO THE MATH.
YOUR CAR WILL PROBABLY NOT FIT THERE.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S CAR WILL FIT
THERE THAT IS ON COUNCIL.
SO THIS IS A CAR THAT IS PARKED IMPROPERLY BLOCKING THE GAR
PROJECT DOOR AND THIS IS A TWO-CAR GARAGE.
THEY ARE 19 FEET WIDE.
OKAY.
I WANT TO REMIND THAT YOU THIS IS REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT
THAT YOU THINK OF HOW DEFICIENT DRIVEWAYS IMPACT OUR
NEIGHBORHOODS.
THE WIDTH OF YOUR CARS -- YOU KNOW, I HAD TO GO BACK AND DO
MY HOMEWORK.
THESE GARAGES, TANDEM GARAGES IN PARTICULAR ARE SUPPOSED TO
IT BE NINE FEET WIDE.
THEN HOW DO YOU GET IN AND OUT OF THE CAR.
I AM GOING TO TELL YOU I HAVE BEEN GETTING IN AND OUT OF
CARS LIKE THIS FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS BECAUSE I AM
STARTING SOMEBODY'S CAR WHO IS OUT OF THE COUNTRY.
THIS LITTLE MAP RIGHT HERE.
I GOT A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON.
AND I AM VERY, VERY, VERY CONFUSED
IS THIS THE SIDE YARD OR THE BACK YARD?
OR IS THIS THE FRONT YARD OR THE BACK YARD?
BECAUSE IN ALL THESE LITTLE BLUE THINGS ARE POSSIBLE
OPTIONAL SWIMMING POOLS.
I WANT YOU TO SEE THAT THIS -- THAT THIS LITTLE THING IS TEN
FEET WIDE AND THEY LOOK LIKE SQUARES BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT
OF NUMBERS.
I UNDERSTAND THAT THE APPLICANT REVISED THIS SITE PLAN MANY,
MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, AND YOU WOULD THINK THAT
THE IMPORTANT NUMBERS WOULD BE THERE AND ONE OF THE 49
THINGS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING HAS BEEN ASKED TO
PUT THE SIZE OF THE GARAGES.
THIS TEN-FOOT JOKERS RIGHT HERE.
YOU HAVE SWIMMING POOLS NEXT TO THEM.
THE SWIMMING POOLS CAN'T BE ANY MORE THAN EIGHT BY EIGHTISH,
BUT ON THIS ROW, WITH THE SIDE BY SIDE GARAGES, THE SWIMMING
POOLS ARE IN THE FRONT BACK, WHICH IS IT?
ARE THEY THE FRONT OR THE BACK?
WHAT REALLY GETS ME IS THE LITTLE BROWN PARTS RIGHT THERE.
THE SIDEWALK.
WHY EVEN BOTHER.
SERIOUSLY THIS WILL BE A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD IF YOU PUT THE
SIDEWALKS AROUND THE PERIMETER THE NEIGHBORHOOD SO YOU CAN
WALK.
YOU CAN'T EVEN WALK YOUR DOG THERE.
SOMEBODY WILL GET RUN OVER.
WHY ARE WE ALLOWING -- WHY WOULD ANYBODY ALLOW TO PUT A
SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF A GARAGE DOOR.
THAT IS THE DUMBEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN.
DEFICIENT DRIVEWAYS.
AGAIN, WE KNOW HOW THESE SHORT DRIVEWAYS ARE NOT GOING TO
WORK.
I WILL TELL YOU IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT NOW TODAY IF I WALK
MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND I DO IT EVERY DAY WHEN I WALK THE DOGS.
I AM COUNTING CARS BETWEEN EIGHT AND 14 CARS PARKED ON THE
STREET.
IN OUR VISITOR PARKING SPACES, 27 OF THEM.
BETWEEN EIGHT TO 14 CARS PARKED IN THE STREET ALL THE TIME.
DOESN'T MATTER WHAT TIME OF DAY OR NIGHT.
AND GUESS WHAT?
THOSE FOLKS LIVE IN OUR DUPLEXES THAT HAVE -- THEY HAVE
DOUBLE CAR GARAGES BUT THEY EITHER DON'T OR CAN'T GET BOTH
VEHICLES IN THERE LET ME TELL YOU IF I HAD A DOLLAR FOR THE
TIME WE SENT A LETTER TO A NEIGHBOR SAYING YOU CAN'T PARK ON
THE STREET ALL THE TIME.
THEY WILL SAY I DON'T KNOW THAT.
NOBODY TOLD ME THAT.
EVEN BY LAW THEY HAD TO BE AGAIN THE DEED RESTRICTIONS
BEFORE THEY BOUGHT THE PROPERTY.
BY LAW.
YOU CAN'T SAY THEY WERE TOLD BECAUSE IT DOESN'T WORK THAT
WAY.
THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO POINT OUT, THESE HAVE 24-FOOT
AISLES.
THEY SAYS IT 40 FEET BETWEEN THE -- BETWEEN THEM.
BUT WHEN YOU YET TO THE 24-FOOT AISLES, REMEMBER WHAT
HAPPENS.
YOU GET THE BANGED-UP GARAGE DOORS.
IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, MY NEW FAVORITE NEIGHBORHOOD TO
DRIVE BY.
THESE ARE TWO-CAR GARAGES AND WE HAVE FOUR CARS PARKED
OUTSIDE THE GARAGES HORIZONTALLY.
I GUARANTEE YOU THEIR DEED RESTRICTIONS SAY THEY CAN'T PARK
LIKE THAT.
FOUR PARKING SPACES IN THE BACK.
EVERY TIME I DRIVE IN THERE, THEY ARE FULL.
INCLUDING THE HANDICAP ONE THAT NEVER, EVER HAS A HANDICAP
TAG IN THE WINDOW.
SO I WANT TO TALK FOR JUST A MINUTE I AM SO CONFUSED AND
ALWAYS CONFUSE.
SO MAYBE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND BUT MR. THOMAS WHEN TALKING OF
THE HEIGHTS TALKING OF 22 FEET.
I DID MISSED THAT.
AM I CONFUSED.
I COULD HAVE SWORN HE SHOWED US TWO-STORY BUILDING WHICH IS
35 FEET, WHICH IS OKAY.
BUT WHICH IS IT.
WERE THE ELEVATIONS CORRECT THAT HE WAS SHOWING US OR WHAT
IS GOING ON WITH THAT.
THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF IMPERVIOUS SURFACE ALWAYS GETS ME.
SO WE ARE GOING TO GO TO 57% IMPERVIOUS SURFACE.
THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SWIMMING POOL SPACES, FOLKS.
DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SWIMMING POOL SPACES.
IF YOU DO THE MATH -- YOU KNOW ME, I LIKE TO DO MATH.
IF YOU BUILD AN 8 FOOT BY 8 FOOT SWIMMING POOL.
NO DECKING AROUND IT.
8 FOOT BY 8 FOOT WILL REDUCE THE IMPERVIOUS SURFACE BY 2700
MORE SQUARE FEET.
THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES I KIND OF GOOGLED.
PROBABLY ANOTHER 600 SQUARE FEET THAT YOU WILL LOSE THERE.
AND SO YOU ARE TALKING OF ANOTHER 3200 SQUARE FEET.
THE STAFF REPORT SAY THEY CAN'T BUILD ON 25% OF THIS
PROPERTY.
THEY CAN NOT BY LAW.
SO WHEN YOU SEE THAT BIG GREEN THING THAT SAYS WE GOT MORE
SPACE THAN WE HAVE TO GUESS WHAT, .25, 11,000 SQUARE FEET
ARE REQUIRED BY THE EPA.
IT IS REQUIRED BY THE EPA.
AND DO YOU KNOW THAT THE WASTEWATER STATION NEXT TO THIS
PROPERTY FLOODED DURING THE STORMS.
THE WASTEWATER STATION NEXT TO THIS PROPERTY FLOODED DURING
THE STORMS.
MR. WEISS TOLD US THAT THIS WEEK.
THIS PARKING IT SHALL IN PROJECT DOES NOT MEET THE PARKING
STANDARDS.
NOT EVEN CLOSE.
NOT EVEN HALF.
ALL YOU ARE DOING, IF YOU APPROVE THIS, IS CREATING A HUGE
PARKING ISSUE.
SO YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES.
ONE, DO YOU LIKE MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND CREATE MORE PARKING,
WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT IS A PRIVATE
COMMUNITY SO WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT.
OR YOU CAN DO, LIKE SCHOONER COVE DOES DOWN THE STREET AND
PARK ALL ALONG SIDE THE INTERBAY.
IF SOMEBODY HAS A PARTY, THEY HAVE CARS LINED UP, 15 TO 20
TO 30 CARS LINED UP ON INTERBAY SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE
ROAD.
AND ONE OTHER THING, FEMA DOES NOT LIKE FILL DIRT.
COASTAL ACTION AREA PLAN THAT COUNCILMAN CARLSON WILL ASK TO
PUT ON THE AGENDA LATER CONTINUED ON.
SAYS THAT FEMA DOES NOT LIKE FILL DIRT.
THEY DO NOT LIKE FILL DIRT.
YOU PUT ALL THESE ON STILTS, MAYBE A LITTLE BETTER IDEA.
MAYBE MORE PERMEABLE SUR HAS IN HERE.
BUT THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
08:29:28PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
08:29:29PM >> THANK YOU AND HAVE A GOOD EVENING.
08:29:33PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:

DAWN HESTER.
THANK YOU.
AND MARY NEWMEYER.
THANK YOU.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN NAMES FOR A TOTAL OF
TEN MINUTES, PLEASE.
08:30:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
HELLO, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
08:30:28PM >> MY NAME IS CARROLL ANN BENNETT, A LIFE-LONG RESIDENT OF
SOUTH TAMPA.
NEVER BEEN THE LAW THAT A LAND OWNER IS ENTITLED TO THE
HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF HIS LAND.
WE BELIEVE THAT BOTH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNED AND ZONING
CLASSIFICATION ARE PRESUMPTIVELY VALID, AND THAT SEEKING A
CHANGE IN EITHER CAN HAVE THE BURDEN OF SHOWING ITS
INVALIDITY.
WHAT THIS COMMUNITY WANTS IS FOR THE DEVELOPER TO ACCEPT
THAT THEY BOUGHT AN UNIQUE HEAVILY WOODED PROPERTY THAT HAS
WETLAND CONTINUE TO.
THEY WANT THE DEVELOPER TO ACCEPT THAT THEY KNOWINGLY
PURCHASED ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE LAND AND SHOULD BE
DEVELOPED AS ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE LAND.
DEVELOPMENT LIMITATIONS ARE THE REASON THAT THEY PAID LESS
FOR THE SAME LAND WITHOUT THESE BARRIERS.
THE COMMUNITY SUPPORTS DEVELOPMENT THAT RESPECTS REALITY,
NOT WISHFUL THINKING.
IF THEY REDUCE THE NUMBER OF UNITS THEY CAN PRESERVE THE
WETLAND AND THE TREES.
IF THEY BUILD THE TOWN HOMES THE WAY FEMA RECOMMENDS WITH
OPEN FOUNDATIONS ON PIERS AND FOUNDATION LAW LOWER PREMIUM
FOR FLOOD INSURANCE AND PROTECT THE SURROUNDING AREA NOR
INCREASED FLOODING, AND WITHOUT ALL THAT FILL DIRT, THEY CAN
EASILY SAVE MORE TREES.
ALTHOUGH FEMA ALLOWS FILL DIRT TO ELEVATE STRUCTURES, THEY
DON'T LIKE IT BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT PUSHES THE WATER
SOMEWHERE ELSE.
SO INSTEAD, THEY ACTUALLY GIVE YOU A DISCOUNT ON YOUR
PREMIUM IT IS A BUILDING HAS AN OPEN FOUNDATION WITH PIERS,
COLUMNS OR WALLS WITH OPENINGS SO WATER CAN FLOW UNDER THE
HOUSE INSTEAD OF PUSHING IT ON TO A NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY
CAUSING THEM MORE DAMAGE.
COASTAL AREA ACTION PLAN THAT IS ALMOST FINISHED AND EXPERT
COMPANIES CALLED CLARION DISCOURAGED BUILDING USING SLAB ON
FILL AND INSTEAD ENCOURAGED FREE BOARD THAT ALLOWS WATER TO
FLOW UNDER A BUILDING INCREASING PERMEABLE AREA.
NO VESTED RIGHT UNDER FLORIDA LAW TO DEVELOP PROPERTY AT THE
MAXIMUM DENSITY IN THE LAND USE CLASSIFICATION.
TO HOLD OTHERWISE WOULD NEGATE THE ABILITY TO REQUIRE
SET-ASIDES FOR WETLANDS, STORMWATER RETENTION,
RIGHT-OF-WAYS, ETC.
THE TREE REGULATIONS ARE NO DIFFERENT AND SHOULD BE IN DUE
DILIGENCE CALCULATIONS PERFORMED BY A DEVELOPER FOR THE
POTENTIAL DENSITY OF A SITE.
45 UNITS IS A MAXIMUM DENSITY IN R-10.
NOT A MINIMUM.
45 UNITS IS A CEILING YOU CAN'T GO ABOVE.
IT IS NOT A FLOOR THAT YOU CAN'T GO BELOW.
THE ONLY ZONING ENTITLEMENT THAT THE OWNER HAS BY RIGHT
IS RS-50.
THEY CAN PULL PERMITS TOMORROW AND BUILD RS-50 HOMES.
THAT IS WHAT THEY BOUGHT.
THAT IS ACTUALLY WHAT THEY ARE ENTITLED TO.
INSTEAD THEY SPECULATED ON A LAND DEAL, HOPING TO INCREASE
THEIR PROFIT OF USING A PD TO CIRCUMVENT THE ZONING.
THEY KNEW NO GUARANTEE THEY CAN EXCEEDING ZONING, CUT DOWN A
GRAND OAK, CUT DOWN 80 TREES AND FILL IN A WETLAND.
THEY HOPE THEY COULD.
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO CHANGE A LAND INTO SOMETHING THEY
DIDN'T PAY FOR DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY ARE ENTITLED TO IT.
NOT OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE THEIR WISHES COME THROUGH.
HOW MUCH PROFIT THEY MAKE IS NOT COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL
EVIDENCE.
UNDER FLORIDA LAW, A MERE ECONOMIC DISADVANTAGE TO
OWNER'S PREFERENCE WHAT HE WOULD LIKE TO DO FOR THE PROPERTY
IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR HOW HE HAS A HARDSHIP AND ENTITLING
THE OWNER TO A VARIANCE.
FLORIDA COURTS FIND HARDSHIP FOR VARIANCE WHERE THE PROPERTY
A UNUSABLE AND INCAPABLE OF VALUABLE RETURN WITH ZONING
REGULATIONS AND HARD HIP MUST RISE FROM THE ORIGINATE
EXPECTATIONS OF ITS OWNERS.
THIS YELLOW IS WETLAND ONE.
THIS GREEN IS WETLAND TWO.
THE EPC WAS SHOWN THESE TWO SEPARATE WETLANDS.
KNOW WHAT THEY WEREN'T SHOWN, THAT THE WETLAND FLOWS THROUGH
THIS PROPERTY MAKING IT ONE BIG WETLAND.
THIS PROPERTY BELONGS TO THE CITY.
AND CONTAINS ONE OF OUR WASTEWATER PUMPING STATIONS.
THE WASTEWATER DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THIS STATION FLOODED
DURING A HURRICANE AND LUCKILY WASN'T SO BAD THAT IT SHUT
DOWN.
134 OTHER WASTEWATER STATIONS DID SHUT DOWN WHEN THEY
FLOODED IN ADDITION TO THE 66 WASTEWATER STATIONS THAT
STOPPED PUMPING BECAUSE THEY LOST POWER.
THE CITY HAD TO ISSUE WARNINGS ASKING PEOPLE TO FLUSH THEIR
TOILETS SPARING PEOPLE.
PEOPLE HAD POO WATER IN THEIR STREETS AND HOMES.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN W WHEN WETLAND ONE IS FILLED IN AND CAN NO
LONGER ABSORB FLOODING.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ALL THIS AREA -- I LOST MY PLACE -- HANG
ON -- IS RAISED WITH 12 FEET WITH MOUNTAINS OF FILL DIRT.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU APPROVE THIS.
WE KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
MORE WATER WILL FLOW INTO THE WASTEWATER STATION AND IT WILL
FLOOD AND THIS TIME IT MIGHT SHUT DOWN.
ACCORDING TO THE WASTEWATER DEPARTMENT, THEY MUST WAIT UNTIL
THE STORMS ARE OVER, STREETS TO BE CLEARED AND FLOODWATERS
TO RECEDE BEFORE THEY CAN SET UP A PORTABLE PUMP.
HOW MANY HOURS OR DAY WILL THIS STATION BE ABLE TO PUMP
WASTEWATER.
IS THAT SMART GROWTH?
EVERY YEAR, TREES SAVE TAMPA $4.9 MILLION IN AVOIDING
STORMWATER RUNOFF.
THAT IS ANNUALLY.
IN LIGHT OF THE CATASTROPHIC FLOODING WE JUST HAD, THE WORST
THING THE CITY CAN DO FILL IN THE WET ALEXANDRIA, CUT DOWN
TO 80 TREES, CUT DOWN A LIVE OAK, BRING IN FILL DIRT AND
REROUTE WATER FLOWS.
FRIENDS OF THE RIVER, THE SIERRA CLUB, THE TAMPA TREE
ADVOCACY GROUP AND HUNDREDS OF RESIDENTS OPPOSE THIS.
PRESERVE THE WETLAND THAT ABSORB AND FILTER WATER.
DENY THE TREE WAIVERS.
FOLLOWING FEMA RECOMMENDATIONS AND BUILD ON PIERS INSTEAD OF
FILL DIRT.
IN OTHER WORDS, DEVELOPMENT THIS ENVIRONMENTALLY IMPORTANT
PROPERTY RESPONSIBLY.
THEY CAN DO THAT BY REDUCING THE NUMBER OF UNITS PROVIDE
PROTECTION FROM INCREASED FLOODING AND PROVIDE COMMUNITY
SUPPORT.
THAT IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF SMART GROWTH.
THANK YOU.
08:37:17PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU, TODD RANDOLPH.
YES, SIR, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
08:37:34PM >> I AM TODD RANDOLPH AND A RESIDENT OF TAMPA AND AN ACTIVE
MEMBER OF THE LOCAL SIERRA CLUB TAMPA BAY GROUP.
MODEL MOTTO OF SIERRA CLUB IS EXPLORE, ENJOY AND PROTECT.
THE MAIN CONCERNS OF THE REZONING IS THE REDUCED CLIMATE
RESILIENCY, THE LOSS OF TREE CANOPY.
WE SHOULD CONSIDER WHAT IS LOST AND OVERDEVELOPED ON THE
RIVER.
THE RIVER IS A JEWEL OF THIS CITY YOU CAN IMMERSE YOURSELF
IN NATURE ALONG PARTS OF RIVER.
EVERYONE CAN.
IT IS A GREAT PUBLIC SPACE.
AND WE SHOULD EXPLORE ENJOY AND PROTECT AS MUCH AS WE CAN OF
TAMPA'S SPECIAL PLACES THAT OFFER OPPORTUNITY TO EVERYONE.
I AM FOR THE COUNCIL TO DENY THIS REZONING IN OUR NEED FOR
ENHANCED CLIMATE RESILIENCY AND THE NEED TO MAINTAIN THE
SPECIAL CHARMS OF THIS CITY THAT MAKE TAMPA SUCH A GREAT
PLACE TO LIVE.
THANKS.
08:38:33PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
REBUTTAL.
YOU HAVE YOUR REBUTTAL TIME, BUT THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF
TIME LEFT OVER THERE.
I THINK EIGHT HOURS -- EIGHT HOURS, I WISH.
EIGHT MINUTES -- EIGHT MINUTES AND 23 SECONDS
BUT GIVEN THAT WE SORT OF LISTEN TO AN HOUR AND A HALF, IF
YOU CAN EXTEND THAT TO 12 MINUTES FOR US, I WOULD GREATLY
APPRECIATE IT.
FIVE PLUS THE THREE MINUTES IS EIGHT MINUTES AND -- THE
CLERK CAN CONFIRM.
08:39:09PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
YES.
08:39:11PM >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE LITTLE EXTRA TIME.
08:39:13PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
GO AHEAD, MA'AM, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
08:39:17PM >> ELISE BATSEL, STEARNS, WEAVER, MILLER FOR THE RECORD.
FIRST THING I WANT TO DO IS HIT TRANSPORTATION.
ASK OUR TRANSPORTATION CONSULTANT, MICHAEL YATES, TO COME UP
AND TALK VERY QUICKLY OF THE TRANSPORTATION ISSUE AND
SPECIFICALLY WHAT THE NEIGHBORS ARE OBSERVING AT THE LIGHT
AT HILLSBOROUGH AND ROME.
AND WE NEED THE PRESENTATION, SORRY IF YOU CAN PAUSE THE
TIME.
08:39:40PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
CAN WE BRING THE PRESENTATION UP.
08:39:42PM >> HE HAS IT ON THE OVERHEAD BUT WE NEED IT UP AT SOME
POINT.
THANK YOU.
08:39:47PM >> GOOD EVENING, MICHAEL YATES WITH PALM TRAFFIC, AND I HAVE
BEEN SWORN.
COUPLE OF THINGS.
ONE OF THE COMMENTS WE RECEIVED WAS THAT THE COUNTS WERE
DONE ON VETERANS DAY.
ACTUALLY THE COUNTS WERE DONE ON NOVEMBER 1.
NOVEMBER 11, THE DATE THEY SAW IN THE ANALYSIS WAS THE DAY
WE WERE DOING THE ANALYSIS AND WESTERN ACTUALLY WORKING ON
VETERANS DAY.
COUNTS WERE DONE ON NOVEMBER 1, AND SEASONALLY ADJUSTED TO
DONE PER THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CITY REQUIREMENTS.
THE SECOND PART WAS RELATED TO ELISE IS GOING THERE.
08:40:26PM >> THEY JUST TOOK IT OFF.
08:40:28PM >> THERE YOU GO.
ONE MORE.
THIS IS THE INTERSECTION THERE AT HILLSBOROUGH AND ROME.
COMMENTS WE RECEIVED RELATED TO THE QUEUEING AT THE
INTERSECTION.
YEAH, WHAT THEY OBSERVED IS CORRECT THAT THERE IS NO
SOUTHBOUND OR NORTHBOUND LEFT-TURN SIGNAL.
AND D.O.T. IS CONTROLLING THE GREEN TIME TO ROME TO ENHANCE
THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON HILLSBOROUGH.
THAT IS YOUR SEEING THAT.
CITY CAN WORK WITH THE D.O.T. TO ADD A PROTECTED LEFT TURN
FACE TO ROME AND ADD ADDITIONAL GREEN TIME WHICH WILL
GREATLY IMPROVE THE OPERATION, BUT AS WE DEMONSTRATED IN OUR
ANALYSIS, IT OPERATES AT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF SERVICE AND
ALL THE INTERSECTIONS RUN AT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF SERVICE.
08:41:16PM >> MICHAEL, YOUR PROFESSIONAL OPINION THAT WHAT THEY SEE
BACKING UP IS AN OPERATIONAL ISSUE FOR THE INTERSECTION
WRATH THEIR AN CAPACITY OR ANYTHING RELATED TO THE TRIPS OF
THE DEVELOPMENT?
08:41:26PM >> THAT'S CORRECT.
08:41:27PM >> THANK YOU.
SO MUCH OF WHAT WE HEARD TONIGHT FALLS INTO TWO CATEGORIES.
ONE IS PERMITTING.
SO MUCH THAT WE STILL HAVE TO DO IN PERMITTING WITH RESPECT
TO STORMWATER, WILDLIFE, WETLAND, LIFT STATIONS.
NONE OF THAT IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT AND WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH
ALL OF THE PROCESSES AND GET ALL OF THE APPROVALS.
A LOT OF MISINFORMATION I WANT TO CLARIFY ON THE RECORD.
PART OF THAT MISINFORMATION CAME FROM -- WE HAD A DIALOGUE
FOR THE NEIGHBORS UNTIL THEY APPEALED AND WE WERE IN LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS AND THAT BROKE DOWN.
WE HAVE MODIFIED OUR PLAN SIGNIFICANTLY WITH WHAT THEY HAVE
SEEN.
NEXT THING I WANT TO ADDRESS IS STORMWATER.
AGAIN, A PERMITTING ISSUE.
WE CAN NOT BUILD UNLESS WE MEET THE REQUIREMENTS.
BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU AND THE NEIGHBORS COMFORT.
WE HAVE REDESIGNED THE EVEN TIRE EASTERN PORTION OF THE SITE
CLOISTER TO THE RIVER.
STILTED ALL SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ALONG THE RIVER.
WE ACTUALLY COMMISSIONED THE FLOOD RESISTANT DEVELOPMENT
ASSESSMENT WHICH IS NOT REQUIRED BUT WE DID TO SHOW STAFF
AND THE COMMUNITY THAT THE ASSESSMENT REQUIRES BASICALLY A
GO THROUGH AND SAYS EVERYWHERE THAT IT IS APPROPRIATE TO
PLACE FILL.
WE ARE FOLLOWING THAT ASSESSMENT AND YOU WILL SEE THAT WHEN
WE GO THROUGH PERMITTING.
WILDLIFE.
WE HEARD A LOT SPOKEN OF WILDLIFE.
ALSO A PERMITTING ISSUE.
IT IS EVALUATED BY S.W.F.W.M.D.
EVALUATED BY THE FISH AND WILDLIFE, AND GET AN ENVIRONMENTAL
PERMIT AS PART OF THIS APPLICATION.
WE HAVE TO WORK MODIFICATIONS AND MITIGATION IN OUR PLAN OR
WE CAN NOT GO.
WETLAND.
TWO WETLAND ON-SITE AS YOU KNOW.
ONE IS A HIGHER QUALITY WETLAND THAT WE ARE PRESERVING.
ONE IS LOWER QUALITY WETLAND.
THAT ISSUE IS ASKED AND ANSWERED.
WE HAVE GONE TO HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY EPC.
MANY OF THE NEIGHBORS APPEALED THAT DECISION.
IT HAS GONE THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS AND FINALLY COMPLETED
ADJUDICATED.
THE WETLAND IMPACTS UPHELD BY THE COUNTY'S EPC.
THAT IS ALREADY DONE AND NOT AN ISSUE THAT IS BEFORE YOU
TONIGHT.
I DO WANT TO TALK OF ONE PROVISION IN THE COMP PLAN THAT
TALKS OF WETLAND IMPACTS.
TECHNICAL EXPERTS FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND OUR
EXPERT HAS SAID THAT THE PROPOSED PD HAS BEEN DESIGNED
CONSISTENT WITH THE WETLAND IMPACT APPROVALS AND LISTED OUT
11 DIFFERENT POLICIES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT OUR
WETLAND IMPACT IS CONSISTENT WITH.
TREE WAIVERS.
I HAVE DOCUMENTATION TO SUBMIT TO THE RECORD.
KEVIN WILL FIND WHERE I PUT IT.
WE WENT IN AND REVIEWED EVERY SINGLE ZONING YOU GUYS LOOKED
AT OVER THE LAST 16 MONTHS.
20% OF THOSE APPROVALS WERE THOSE REZONINGS INCLUDED TREE
WAIVERS.
EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS APPROVED EXCEPT FOR SELLBORN WHICH WAS
SEVEN GRAND TREES, LIVE OAKS BEING DEMOLISHED.
THAT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
SPECIFICALLY EVERY SINGLE TREE REQUEST THAT NATURAL
RESOURCES FOUND CONSISTENT WAS BEEN APPROVED BY THIS BOARD.
THE TREE CODE IS OBVIOUSLY MEANT FOR OUR URBAN TAMPA
ENVIRONMENT AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE THAT WITH A
FULLY WOODED SITE.
WE HAVE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND TO TRY TO PRESERVE THE
MULTITUDE OF TREES INCLUDING FIVE OF THE SIX NONHAZARDOUS
AND EVEN SAVING ONE TREE THAT IS HAZARDOUS BUT WE WANT TO
KEEP IT FOR THE WILDLIFE.
WE WANT TO GO SPECIFICALLY INTO ADDRESSING CONCERNS.
A LOT OF MISINFORMATION.
THE FRIENDS OF THE RIVER -- SORRY, I DON'T REMEMBER HIS NAME.
14 DOCKS.
NOT 14 DOCKS ON THIS SITE SINCE EARLY 2023.
AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE WE MAY ASK FOR THREE DOCKS FOR
THE THREE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ALONG THE RIVER.
THAT WILL COME LATER.
WHILE I APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION ABOUT ALL OF THESE
APARTMENT APPROVALS.
THIS IS NOT A APARTMENT APPROVAL.
A TOWN HALL APPROVAL AND A SINGLE-FAMILY ALONG THE RIVER
APPROVAL.
THEY FOCUSSED ON POLICY 3.1.1.
YOUR STAFF HAS ALREADY SAID THIS MEETS THE RIVERFRONT
POLICIES THAT WERE QUOTED.
SEVERAL OF THE NEIGHBORS FOCUSED ON THE HARDENED SHORELINE.
WE ACTUALLY DID A NUMBER OF THINGS, RIGHT.
WE MOVED ALL OF THE RETAINING WALLS FAR BACK FROM THIS
FIVE-FOOT ELEVATION SO THAT WHERE HE WEREN'T HARDENING THE
SHORELINE.
ADDED MANY ADDITIONAL TREES AND A SPARK SPACE AROUND THE
RIVER.
STILTED EACH OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ALL TO PROTECT THE
INTEGRITY OF THAT RIVERFRONT.
WE TALKED A LOT OF FLOODING AGAIN FLOODING AND STORMWATER
ARE PERMITTING ISSUES.
WE HAVE TO COMPLY WITH ALL OF THE REGULATIONS FROM
S.W.F.W.M.D. AND THE CITY OF TAMPA STUDY THAT FEMA
DOESN'T LIKE FILL.
IT IS TRUE THAT FEMA DOESN'T LIKE FILL FOR RIVERINE AREA.
THIS IS NOT A RIVERINE AREA.
TIDALLY IN AREA AND THAT STUDY IT YOU NOT APPLY TO THIS SITE
AS WELL.
I HEARD A LOT ABOUT GARAGES AND PARKING.
WE MEET EVERY REQUIREMENT OF THE COULD CODE.
WE MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR GARAGES.
WE MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR PARKING AND DESIGNED THEM IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE.
WE HAVE SPENT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AND RESOURCES
OVER FOUR YEARS -- WELL, WE TOUCHED FOUR YEARS.
TWO AND A HALF.
EVERY TIME STAFF IN A QUESTION ON THIS APPLICATION, JAY MIZE
AND DAN SEFAIR THE DEVELOPER SAID LET'S GET ANOTHER STUDY.
LET'S CHANGE THE PLAN.
LET'S ADDRESS CONCERN.
EVERY SINGLE STEP OF THE WAY.
YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE WITH CONSISTENCY EVERY SINGLE
DEPARTMENT HAS FOUND THIS CONSISTENT.
WE HAVE WORKED TIRELESSLY.
WE ARE EXHAUSTED OF THIS PROJECT TO BE HONEST AND YOUR STAFF
IS EXHAUSTED TOO.
AND I HAVE ABOUT AN LAND USE ATTORNEY SINCE 1997.
THIS APPLICATION HAS TAKEN LONGER TO GET TO YOU THAN ANY
OTHER APPLICATION IN THE CITY OF TAMPA THAT I HAVE EVER BEEN
INVOLVED WITH.
WE HAVE REALLY TRIED ON THIS APPLICATION.
AND IF HE FEEL LIKE WE HAVE -- WE HAVE A THOUGHTFULLY
DESIGNED PROJECT THAT WILL BE A TREASURE AS THE LADY WHO
CAME UP HERE SAID, THIS IS GOING TO BE A FUTURE GEM.
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD CONSIDER REQUEST NOR
APPROVAL.
AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE HAVE ALL OF OUR EXPERTS,
CIVIL ENGINEERS HERE.
08:48:05PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
08:48:09PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
YOU SAID PARK-LIGHT SETTING ALONG THE RIVER.
IS THERE RIVER ACCESS TO THE PUBLIC?
RIVER ACCESS TO THE RESIDENTS?
ALL THE OTHER RESIDENTS OF THE THREE SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSES.
08:48:22PM >> A PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT.
08:48:27PM >> KEVIN REALI, A PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT, ALL WILL HAVE ACCESS
TO THE RIVER.
NOT JUST THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
08:48:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ALONG THE RIVER IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE
COMPLEX.
08:48:38PM >> CORRECT.
NOT A PUBLIC PARK, BUT ALL OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE
DEVELOPMENT, TOWN HOME OR SINGLE-FAMILY HAVE ACCESS, YES.
08:48:45PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
AND I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT -- I GUESS
THIS WOULD BE FOR STAFF.
SO -- I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL WATCHED THIS COUNCIL DISCUSS GARAGE
WIDTHS AND LENGTHS OVER AD NAUSEAM.
TALK -- YOU SAID YOU ARE EXHAUSTED BY THE PROJECT, BUT I AM
EXHAUSTED BY GARAGE WIDTH AND LENGTHS.
THIS IS COMPLETELY NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH WHAT WE HAVE
ADDRESSED AS FAR AS -- ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO PDs OF
GARAGE WIDTHS AND LENGTHS.
SO I AM KIND OF SHOCKED THAT YOU CAME BEFORE US, BECAUSE --
LITERALLY, IT WAS FUNNY BECAUSE PRIOR TO ONE OF THE PEOPLE
FROM THE PUBLIC WHO CAME UP HERE TALKING OF WIDTHS, I
GOOGLED THE WIDTH OF MY CAR TO SEE IF I CAN FIT IT.
I COULDN'T GET OUT OF MY CAR IN THE GARAGE.
I COULD NOT PARK MY CAR IN YOUR GARAGE AND GET OUT OF MY
CAR.
I AM JUST KIND OF A LITTLE SURPRISED THAT YOU CAME BEFORE US
KNOWING HOW MANY TIMES WE DISCUSSED THAT.
08:49:52PM >> I DIDN'T HEAR THAT PARTICULAR DISCUSSION, BUT WE DID
DESIGN ALL OF THESE PROJECTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CODE
THAT YOU ARE REVIEWING TODAY.
YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO IN AND CHANGE THAT
CODE BUT AGAIN, NO INDICATION FROM STAFF WE SHOULD CHANGE
THE GARAGE WIDTHS.
08:50:14PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MIND IF I PIVOT TO STAFF OF GARAGE WIDTH.
08:50:22PM >>JONATHAN SCOTT:
JONATHAN SCOTT, MOBILITY DEPARTMENT.
ONLY THING THEY HAVE TO MEET THE PARKING, TWO 9 X 13
SPACE ON THE CODE.
NOT ANYTHING --
08:50:38PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ONE OF OUR PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS WITH THIS
COUNCIL WHEN WE -- WE SPOKE ABOUT GARAGE WIDTHS AND LENGTH.
WHERE WAS THAT LEFT?
I KNOW WE LEFT IT WITH STEVEN.
BUT ANYBODY RECALL THAT CONVERSATION, HOW THAT --
08:50:52PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I THINK ITS COMING TO US WITH THE --
08:50:56PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
OKAY.
AGAIN, THIS IS A PD.
AND IT IS PUT AN AWFUL LOT OF DEVELOPMENT ON ONE PARCEL AND
TRYING TO BALANCE THESE THINGS OUT.
I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT RIPRAP.
SOMEBODY -- A STAFF THAT IS A SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT ON THE
RIVER DEVELOPMENT.
ANYBODY HERE FROM STAFF THAT UNDERSTANDS THAT?
OKAY.
SO WE WILL DEPEND ON TESTIMONY THAT WAS PROVIDED.
OKAY.
SO I CONCUR -- AS CONCERNED I AM ABOUT THE WETLAND, THE
QUESTION WAS ASKED AND ANSWERED.
NOT BEFORE US TODAY BECAUSE THE QUESTION WAS ASKED AND
ANSWERED BY ANOTHER GOVERNMENT BODY.
FOR THOSE PROVIDED THE TESTIMONY -- SOME OF THESE OTHER
ISSUES CAN ENTER INTO OUR DISCUSSION, BUT IN MY OPINION,
THAT QUESTION WAS ASKED ANSWERED AND THE DOCK QUESTION IS
NOT BEFORE US BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE FOR A SUBSEQUENT MEETING
FOR FUTURE DISCUSSION.
BUT I WILL DEFER THE REST OF THIS TO MY OTHER
COUNCILPERSONS.
08:52:03PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
COUNCILMAN MIRANDA AND HURTAK.
08:52:05PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
JUST SPEAKING IN GENERAL TERMS.
YEAH, YOU CAN -- YOU CAN ADDRESS EVERYTHING TO THE CODE.
SO IF THE CODE WORKS PERFECT, HOW COME A LOT OF HOUSES
FLOODED IN TAMPA THAT WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE FLOODED?
I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER.
WHEN I LOOK AROUND AND I SEE THAT THE PERSON THAT GOT THE
LETTER.
NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT IT FLOODED.
THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE PARK CALLED ROME AND SLIGH, I
BELIEVE.
THEY HAD SOME PROBLEMS ALSO.
THIS PROPERTY -- I AM GOING BACK IN HISTORY IN MY MIND I GOT
TO STRETCH IT OUT TO MID-70s OR SO OVER 46 YEARS AGO AND I
REMEMBER THE GENTLEMAN WHO OWNED THIS PROPERTY OR RIGHT NEXT
TO IT, A CLUB CLOSE BY AND A RESIDENTIAL PROJECT AND I
FORGOT HIS NAME AND I REMEMBER WHAT HE OWNED.
DIXIE NEON SIGN AND COMPANY IN PALMETTO BEACH.
THAT IS THE GUY WHO OWNED THAT PROPERTY I BELIEVE WAY BACK.
HE WAS A VERY STRAIGHT GUY.
NOT THAT ANYBODY IS NOT STRAIGHT.
DON'T GET ME WRONG.
AND I MET EDDIE CABELLERO RUNNING FOR OFFICE IN 1979.
I WALKED WITH HIM DOWN ROME ALL THE WAY TO SLIGH AND A
MOM-AND-POP STORE A COUPLE OF BLOCKS NORTH.
AND WE STOPPED THERE AND WHEN THAT YOUNG LADY CAME UP -- I
FORGOT HER NAME, LINDA, I THINK IT WAS.
YOUR FAMILY OR YOUR FATHER HAD PROPERTY RIGHT BEHIND YOU.
I KNOW IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS ZONING.
I REMEMBER STOPPING AT A LITTLE STORE JUST ABOUT TWO OR
THREE BLOCKS, FOUR BLOCKS SOUTH OF SLIGH.
AND WHEN YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT ALL THAT AND YOU GO BACK
AND UNDERSTAND A ANOTHER IN TAMPA.
YOU MAKE A RIVERSIDE DRIVE.
I HAD MANY FRIEND THERE.
YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN THERE AND MLK?
EVERY ONE OF THEM FLOODED.
JUST TO THE EAST -- EXCUSE ME, JUST TO THE WEST OF THAT ON A
HIGH HILL I HAVE FRIENDS THAT LIVED THERE.
THEY HAD FLOODING.
NOT LIKE THE ONES ON THE RIVER.
THOSE IN THE RIVER THIS THREE OR FOUR FEET OF FLOODING I AM
JUST LOOKING AT THIS AND I KNOW WHAT THE CODE SAYS AND I
UNDERSTAND THAT.
THE CODE IS SOMETHING ON PAPER.
WE WENT THROUGH HELL ON TWO STORMS AND NOT ONLY THE STORMS,
BUT FIVE INCHES BEFORE THE STORMS.
FIVE INCHES BETWEEN THE TWO STORMS, AND FIVE INCHES AFTER
THE STORM.
SO PLACES IN TAMPA THAT NEVER GOT FLOODED G, Y.
NEVER GOING TO FLOOD HERE.
BUT THEY FLOODED.
OPINION I DON'T KNOW AT WHAT TIME CODE IS GOING TO SAY WHEN
IT CHANGES, BUT IT BETTER HAVE THINGS THAT ARE DIFFERENT OR
I WILL NOT SUPPORT IT.
I AM TALKING RIGHT TO MYSELF REALLY AND SAYING TO MYSELF,
YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING WITH SOLAR.
EVERYTHING TO TRY TO FIX THE ENVIRONMENT.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET WHAT YOU WANT BY DOING THE THINGS
YOU DO NORMALLY IN IF THE LAST 100 YEARS.
IT DOES NOT WORK ANY LONGER.
[APPLAUSE]
NO.
[GAVEL SOUNDING]
08:55:27PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I AM NOT HERE TO GET APPLAUDED OR BOOED.
I'M HERE TO SAY I GOT A JOB TO DO TONIGHT AND BASE IT ON
WHAT HI HEARD AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE AND CALL IT WHATEVER
YOU WANT TO CALL IT, BUT THE REALITY IS, THAT NO ONE REALLY
KNOWS.
I CAN'T TELL IF YOU THERE IS GOING TO BE A STORM TOMORROW.
BUT I CAN TELL YOU THIS.
JUST LOOK AT THE WHOLE COUNTRY.
LOOK AT THE NORTH.
HAD NORMAL AMOUNT OF SNOW.
LOOK AT THE FAR WEST.
NORMAL AMOUNT -- NOT NOW.
NOT THESE FIRE FIGHTERS -- FIRE FIGHTERS EVERY MONTH UP
THERE ALL THE WAY FROM CALIFORNIA TO WASHINGTON.
IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THAT'S POSSIBLE, BUT THOSE THINGS ARE
HAPPENING ALL AT ONCE.
BUT THEY ARE.
THOSE ARE JUST EXAMPLES OF NATURE TELLING US STOP DOING WHAT
YOU ARE DOING.
IT DOESN'T WORK.
I, FOR ONE, AM NOT AN ENVIRONMENTALIST, I DON'T SAY I AM.
FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITY TO HAVE SOLAR, DRIVE A
ELECTRIC CAR OR HYBRID, TO NOT HAVE GRASS.
AND TO DO DIFFERENT THINGS.
YOU KNOW WHY I SAY THAT?
BECAUSE THIS NONENVIRONMENTALIST HAS IT.
SO WHAT I AM SAYING IS WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER FOR THE SAKE
OF OUR ENVIRONMENT.
WITHOUT THE ENVIRONMENT -- I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO, IT IS
NOT GOING TO WORK ANYMORE.
NO MORE TRICKS TO PULL OR NO MORE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
IT DOESN'T WORK ANY LONGER.
THINGS WE ARE WRESTLING WITH WAY BEFORE THE STORMS CAME.
MY ELECTRIC BILLS HAVE BEEN NO MORE THAN $27 A MONTH.
I WILL SAY THAT AGAIN, $27 A MONTH.
IT PAY FOR ITSELF.
IT IS A DIFFICULT THING TO HAVE AND I LOOK AT THESE THINGS.
ALL THE NOTES I HAVE TAKEN, BUT IT COMES TO NOT ABOUT JUST
BUILDING SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF.
YOU ARE BUILDING FOR OTHERS THAT ARE HURTING OTHER
INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY.
AND I AM NOT TALKING SPECIFICALLY THIS.
A HINDRANCE.
RIVER AT THE DAM SUPPOSED TO PUT 15 MILLION GALLON TO HELP
NATURE FEED THE CREATURES THAT ARE THERE.
WE ARE ALL FOR IT.
WHEN THE STORM OPENS, WE OPEN THE GATE BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT
TO GET FLOODING, CONTAMINATION INSIDE THE PLANT WHERE WE
SUPPLY THE WATER BILLIONS OF WATERS GOING TO THE DAM.
THAT WATER WILL NOT GO NORTH.
IT WILL GO SOUTH.
WHAT HAPPENS THEN?
THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT NEVER PUT IN
WRITING BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENED.
THIS ONE HAPPENED AND ITS NOT GOING TO GET ANY BETTER.
YOU LOOK AT THE TALL BUILDINGS IN MIAMI BEACH AND NOT BUILT
IN THE TURN OF THE CENTURY 1200 YEARS AGO.
BUT BUILT RECENTLY.
IT IS A CHANGE THAT WE HAVE TO FOLLOW IF YOU WANT TO -- TO
CALL IT SURVIVAL OF A SPECIES.
IT IS GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE AND CHANGE QUICKLY AND NOT
GOING TO WORK THE WAY WE DO THINGS.
I AM WAITING TO LISTEN TO SEE WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY, BUT A
VERY DIFFICULT THING WHEN I SEE THIS TYPE OF PLAN PUTTING
THIS AMOUNT OF ASPHALT.
PUTTING THIS KIND OF ENERGY WHERE WEST TAMPA ALONE ON
MacDILL AND HIDER.
IT HAS BEEN FIXED FIVE TIMES AND A BIG DIP COMPARED TO MR.
CARLSON -- I AM NOT CALLING MR. CARLSON A BIG DIP.
FROM HERE TO HIM UNDERSTAND THAT.
HE IS A LITTLE BIGGER THAN ME.
WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY WHEN YOU FIX IT, BECAUSE IT USED TO
BE A CREEK CALLED BENECHE CREEK THAT WENT OVER TO THE RIVER.
SAME THING TO MacDILL AND DOUGLAS.
WE FIXED THAT ONE FOUR TIMES.
YOU FIX IT.
HALF A YEAR LATER OR YEAR LATER YOU HAVE TO FIX IT AGAIN
BECAUSE THE WATER IS RUNNING UNDER GROUND WHEN WE DON'T SEE
IT EAST TO THE RIVER.
THOSE THINGS ARE NOT NORMAL, BUT THEY ARE THERE.
SO WHATEVER HERE HAPPENS, HAPPENS.
I AM SURE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER WILL BE WORKED OUT, MAYBE.
HOWEVER, LET ME SAY ONE THING.
IF I HAVE TO CHECK OUT WHAT COUNCIL SAID OR VOTE FOR THE
LAST 20 YEARS, I KNEW I WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM GOING IN.
THEY TAUGHT THAT AT JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL.
THINGS I LOOK AT.
I UNDERSTAND YOU COME FROM A GREAT LAW FIRM WITH A GREAT
HISTORY.
STEARNS, WEAVER AND MILLER IS TOP OF THE LINE.
BUT DOESN'T MEAN THAT EVERYTHING HAPPENS THAT SHOULD NOT
HAPPEN OR SHOULDN'T HAND THAT DOES HAPPEN IT IS VERY
CONFUSING TO BE UP HERE AND LISTEN EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TO
TAKE IN FROM SO MANY VIEWS AND OPERATIONS AND FIGURE OUT
WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG BECAUSE INSTANTANEOUSLY YOU
KNOW BE WRONG.
YOU MAY BE RIGHT.
WE ARE HEARING THESE CASE AND WRITING OF THE LAWS OF RULES
AND REGULATION.
IF IT DOESN'T HAVE A SOLAR PART IN IT, I AM NOT GOING TO
VOTE FOR IT.
I AM NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR ANYTHING NOT ENVIRONMENTALLY NOT
ACCEPTABLE.
AND I AM SAYING IT NOW I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO ME.
I JUST WANT TO LEAVE TO SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, WE DID THE BEST
WE CAN TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS.
AND SOMETIMES THEY MAY NOT BE GOOD ENOUGH.
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
09:01:20PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
09:01:22PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
MOTION TO CLOSE.
09:01:23PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
MOTION TO CLOSE BY -- YES?
09:01:27PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
COUPLE OF THINGS IF I CAN.
IF I CAN CIRCLE BACK, COUNCIL.
A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT CRITERIA OF HOW YOU MAKE THIS
DECISION.
09:01:39PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
CAN'T WE TALK ABOUT THAT AFTER WE CLOSE.
09:01:42PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
NO, BECAUSE I MIGHT WANT TO GIVE THE
APPLICANT AN OPPORTUNITY TO REBUT OR ADDRESS SOMETHING
BEFORE WE CLOSE THIS HEARING.
JUST FOR THE RECORD, COUNCIL, AS WE DISCUSSED BEFORE ON
PRIOR OCCASIONS RELATIVE TO PDs OR PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS.
I HAVE PROVIDED YOU WITH -- WITH SECTION 27-136.
PURPOSE OF PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PD CODE CRITERIA NINE ITEMS
FOR YOU TO REVIEW ON THE REVERSE SIDE FOR THE PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA.
YOU NOTICE TWO WAIVERS.
I AM GOING TO DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO THE STAFF REPORT
THOSE STATE WHAT THOSE WAIVERS ARE.
AND THOSE WAIVERS HAVE TO MEET THE CRITERIA OF 27-139.
I AM ALSO GOING TO INQUIRE OF THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE
MISS BATSEL -- PARDON ME.
A REVISION SHEET PRESENTED TO CITY COUNCIL THIS EVENING.
AND REVISED AND STATED 1/16/25 AND I BELIEVE TWO DOZEN
BULLET POINTS.
THE QUESTION IS, HAVE YOU REVIEWED THESE WILL YOU BE ABLE TO
BE DO THESE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING AND BE IN
COMPLIANCE BETWEEN THE SECOND READING.
09:03:12PM >> AGAIN, KEVIN REALI.
YES, SIR, ALL OF THOSE CHANGES ARE ALREADY INCORPORATED
BECAUSE WE ARE WORKING WITH STAFF UP UNTIL THIS.
THEY JUST HAVE TO BE COMMITTED FORMALLY BETWEEN FIRST AND
SECOND READING AND THE DIVISION OF COUNCIL WHERE THERE WAS A
DISCREPANCY -- A TYPO WHERE THE HEIGHT WAS LISTED
INCORRECTLY ON THE SECOND PAGE.
THE ONLY NEW CHANGE WE HAVE TO MAKE AND EASILY DO THAT
BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
09:03:38PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, COUNSELOR.
THAT BEING THE CASE, COUNCIL, I AM GOING TO ASK THAT YOU
BASE YOUR DECISION ON THE COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
IN THE RECORD.
AND YOUR STAFF HAS REVIEWED AND USED THESE SAME CRITERIA IN
THE STAFF REPORT.
THEY HAVE MADE CERTAIN FINDINGS.
IF YOU HAVE CERTAIN FINDINGS, THEN I SUGGEST YOU IMAGINE
FINDINGS OF FACT BASED ON THE EVIDENCE YOU HAVE HEARD, APPLY
IT TO THE CRITERIA.
IF YOU WANT TO ADOPT THE STAFF'S REPORTS, YOU CERTAINLY MAY
SAY THAT AND DO SO.
BUT MY SUGGESTION IS YOU REVIEW THESE AND COMPLY THE
COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IN THE RECORD AS YOU FIND IT
TO BE WHEN YOU MAKE WHATEVER DETERMINATION YOU MAKE IN CASE,
THANK YOU.
09:04:31PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
MOTION TO CLOSE.
09:04:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
09:04:38PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.
THE FIRST THING THAT IS CLEAR THAT WE SITTING AS COUNCIL
NEED TO REVISIT THE COMP PLAN AND LOOK AT THE COASTAL HIGH
HAZARD AREA AGAIN.
A LOT OF THINGS WE NEED TO LOOK AT AFTER THESE STORMS.
A TON OF EVIDENCE -- A TON OF EVIDENCE TONIGHT.
TO ME IT BOILS DOWN TO BE TWO SENTENCES IN THE PLANNING
COMMISSION REPORT.
THE AVERAGE DENSITY OF THIS PORTION OF NORTH ROME AVENUE
EXCLUDING THE SUBJECT SITE BETWEEN WEST HANNA AVENUE AND
WEST BURKE STREET IS DEVELOPED AT 3.38 UNITS PER ACRE BASED
ON EIGHT SAMPLE SIZES.
PROPOSED DENSITY THROUGH REZ 24-99 OF 9.65 UNITS PER ACRE.
THAT IS ALMOST THREE TIMES THE UNITS PER ACRE AS IS
CURRENTLY ON -- IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
IN THE AREA.
I THINK SOMEONE USED ONE OF THE THINGS OF TOO MUCH -- TEN
POUNDS OF SUGAR IN A FIVE-POUND BAG.
THEY USED A DIFFERENT ONE THAT I HAVEN'T HAD BEFORE AND IT
WAS INTERESTING BUT I HAVE FORGOTTEN IT.
I MOVE TO DENY REZ 24-99 FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED 6111 NORTH
ROME AVENUE FOR THE FAILURE OF THE APPLICANT NO PROVIDE
COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT THE DEVELOPMENT AS
CONDITIONED AND SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN IS CONSISTENT WITH
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND CITY CODE AND THE APPLICANT'S
FAILURE TO MEET THE BURDEN OF PROOF WITH THE RESPECT TO THE
REQUESTED WAIVERS.
BASED ON THE WRITTEN RECORD.
SO I AM GOING TO CITE SECTION 27-136 EXCEPTION ONE, DOES NOT
PROMOTE THE SUSTAINABLE USE OF LAND AND INFRASTRUCTURE WITH
CAREFUL CONSIDERATION OF POTENTIAL ADVERSE IMPACTS TO
POTENTIAL NATURAL ELEMENTS SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD AND
CULTURAL RESOURCES.
SUBSECTIONS FIVE WHICH -- ENCOURAGES FLEXIBLE LAND
DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL MAXIMIZE THE PRESERVATION OF NATURAL
RESOURCES STREAMS, LAKES, FLOOD PLAIN, GROUND WATER, WOODED
AREA, UPLAND AND AREA OF UNUSUAL BEAUTY AROUND IMPORTANT OF
THE ECOSYSTEM OPEN SPACE, GREEN SPACE AND OTHER
ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES AND SUBSECTIONS 6, DOES NOT PROMOTE AND
ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT WHERE APPROPRIATE IN LOCATION,
CHARACTERS AND COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING IMPACTED
NEIGHBORHOODS, BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND EXIST GEOGRAPHY.
09:07:22PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I WILL ADD --
09:07:26PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
CAN I GET A SECOND?
09:07:29PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I WILL SECOND.
09:07:30PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SECTION 27-139, SUBSECTION 4, SUBSECTION 3,
THE WAIVER IS NOT IN HARMONY WITH AND IT YOU NOT SERVE THE
GENERAL INTENT AND PURPOSE OF CHAPTER 27.
THANK YOU.
09:07:42PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
09:07:44PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
YES.
09:07:45PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ROLL CALL.
09:07:56PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
YES.
09:07:58PM >>BILL CARLSON:
YES.
09:07:59PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.
09:08:00PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
YES.
09:08:03PM >>GWEN HENDERSON:
I AM GOING TO VOTE NO.
AND I WANT TO JUST SAY WHY.
I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO DO THAT IN THIS INSTANCE.
WHEN THINGS ARE CONSISTENT WITH BOTH PLANNING COMMISSION AND
CITY STAFF, THAT SHOWS A LOT OF EVIDENCE THAT THE APPLICANT
HAS WORKED HARD TO GET TO THAT POINT.
DESPITE THAT THE RESIDENTS, YOU KNOW, FEEL DIFFERENTLY.
I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINTS AS WELL, WHICH DOES MAKE DIFFICULT
BUT THERE IS A WAY TO GET TO YES IN THIS INSTANCE AS WELL.
IF THE MOTION WAS MADE IN THAT DIRECTION.
BUT AT THIS TIME, YOU KNOW, I AM NOT GOING TO SUPPORT, YOU
KNOW, THE MOTION TO SAY YES.
BECAUSE OF THE CONSISTENCY OF BOTH CITY STAFF AND THE
PLANNING COMMISSION.
THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN INCONSISTENT HAS BEEN EVIDENCE IN
THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND OR CITY STAFF REPORTS IN SMALLER
URBAN COMMUNITIES AND THEY WILL BUILD THOSE BUILDINGS.
THEY WILL APPROVE THOSE AREAS OF DEVELOPMENT IN SPACES WHERE
THERE ARE SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS AND NOW THEY CAN BUILD
MULTIFAMILY -- YOU KNOW, MULTIFAMILY PROPERTIES IN SPACES
THAT CLEARLY THERE ARE NO OTHER PROPERTIES THAT LOOK LIKE
THAT.
BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS WE DON'T HAVE 100 MEMBERS OF THE
COMMUNITY COMING DOWN HERE TO SAY DIFFERENTLY.
WE MAY HAVE TWO OR THREE OR FOUR OR FIVE AND THE STAFF DID
FIND IT INCIDENT CONSISTENT AND SUPPORT IT AND WILL GO AHEAD
AND BUILD IT.
SO IN THIS INSTANCE, BECAUSE STAFF FOUND IT CONSISTENT AND
YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT THE APPLICANT PUT IN THE WORK.
EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T LIKE IT.
IT IS AND COULD GET TO A YES JUST LIKE IT GOT TO A KNOW.
UNFORTUNATELY, YOU KNOW IT APPEARS IT WON'T GO IN THE
APPLICANT'S FAVOR TODAY, BUT I AM GOING TO SAY NO.
09:09:58PM >>LUIS VIERA:
CAN YOU GUYS HEAR ME?
09:10:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
WE CAN HEAR YOU.
IT IS A LITTLE DELAYED, BUT --
09:10:11PM >>LUIS VIERA:
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
09:10:13PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
YES, WE CAN HEAR YOU.
09:10:15PM >>LUIS VIERA:
JUST MAKING SURE.
YEAH, YES, THANK YOU.
VERY BRIEFLY.
I AM ALSO GOING TO VOTE NO.
I WON'T REITERATE THE POINT MADE BY COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON.
JUST TO SAY -- I WILL DESCRIBE IT THIS WAY.
I APPRECIATE THE OTHER PEOPLE'S SENTIMENTS.
WRITING A CHECK THAT I THINK WILL BOUNCE LATER ON.
SO I RESPECTFULLY VOTE NO.
THANK YOU.
09:10:41PM >>CLERK:
MANISCALCO.
09:10:42PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
YES.
09:10:43PM >>CLERK:
MOTION CARRIES WITH HENDERSON AND VIERA VOTING NO.
09:10:47PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WE ARE IN A TEN-MINUTE RECESS.
THANK YOU.

09:25:13PM >>GWEN HENDERSON:
PRESENT.
09:25:27PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
HERE.
09:25:28PM >>CLERK:
WE HAVE A PHYSICAL QUORUM.
09:25:30PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ITEM NUMBER 8.
09:25:42PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS:
REZONE SOUTH HYDE PARK FROM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WITH OFFICE MEDICAL.
DANNY NOW.
09:25:51PM >>DANNY COLLINS:
DANNY COLLINS WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF.
I WAS SWORN IN.
NEXT CASE IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT IN THE
SPANISH TOWN NEIGHBORHOOD.
IN EVACUATION ZONE A.
HERE IS AN AERIAL MAP OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND THE
SURROUNDING PROPERTY.
SUBJECT SITE AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF WEST DeLEON STREET
AND SOUTH HYDE PARK AVENUE.
THE SURROUNDING A AREA CONTAINS A MIXTURE OF USES.
THERE ARE SOME OFFICE USES SOME LIGHT COMMERCIAL USES.
ALSO SOME RESIDENTIAL USES WITHIN THE VICINITY OF THE AREA.
VACANT TAMPA BUILDING HERE.
AND THIS IS A PLACE OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY OVER HERE.
JUST ON SOUTH OF AZEELE STREET.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS RECOGNIZED UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL 50
FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION, MEDIUM TO HIGH DENSITY LAND USE
ALLOWS DEVELOPMENT OF 50 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE AND LIMITED
TO SERVING COMMERCIAL USES OF SUBJECT TO MEETING COMMERCIAL
LOCATIONAL CRITERIA THE MEDICAL OFFICE USES CAN BE
CONSIDERED WITHIN THE R-50 DESIGNATION IF THE SITE MEETS
LOCATIONAL CRITERIA.
REZONED IN 2005 AS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL
OFFICE USES WHICH MEETS THIS CRITERIA.
THE APPLICANT PROPOSE THOSE CHANGES TO THE STRUCTURE AND
SQUARE FOOTAGE IN THE CURRENT FLOOR AREA RATIO OF .26 IS
THE F.A.R. TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE CATEGORY.
CONSIDERED FOR OFFICE USES AND THE NONRESIDENTIAL USES
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF DETERMINED THAT THE REQUEST WILL
NOT ALTER THE CHARACTER OF THE SURROUNDING AREA.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SEEKS TO ENSURE THAT REDEVELOPMENT
PROJECTS WITHIN URBAN VILLAGES FOCUS ON PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC
AND CONNECTIVITY TO NEARBY TRANSIT AND EMPHASIZES MINIMIZING
VEHICULAR AND VEHICULAR CONFLICTS THAT BUILDING ENTRANCES
CONNECT TO CITY SIDEWALKS.
SIDEWALKS ARE PROVIDE ALONG ALL ADJACENT PUBLIC
RIGHTS-OF-WAY, AND CROSSWALK OF THE BUILDING ALONG SOUTH
PARK AVENUE.
IF FEASIBLE, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF WILL RECOMMEND
IMPROVING CONNECTIVITY FROM THE PARKING AREA WEST OF THE
SITE TO THE BUILDING'S ENTRANCES.
IN CONCLUSION, THE PROPOSED PD IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE
WITH THE SURROUNDING A AREA AND CONSISTENT WITH THE USES
THAT ARE CONSIDERED UNDER THE R-50 DESIGNATION.
PACED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
FIND IT CONSISTENT WITH THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
09:28:37PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ANY QUESTIONS?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
YES, SIR.
09:28:41PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS:
SAM THOMAS, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
WE WILL GET STARTED WITH OUR AERIAL MAP.
YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN RED HERE ALONG
SOUTH HYDE PARK, SOUTH OF WEST LEO IN AND SOUTH CEDAR
AVENUE.
EARLIER THE SITE IS ZONED PD.
CURRENTLY APPROVED FOR RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY,

FEET, BUT THEIR PROPOSED F.A.R. IS 0.27.
PROPOSED MAXIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE BUILDING IS 13,804

NOT WITHSTANDING STAFF'S FINDING OF INCONSISTENCY SHOULD IT
BE COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE WAIVERS IN THE REPORT AND
APPLICATION, MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN AS SHOWN ON
REVISION SHEET SHOWN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READINGS AND
WILL NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE OF EFFICIENCY.
I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
09:36:34PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ANY QUESTIONS?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
APPLICANT?
09:36:45PM >> GOOD EVENING, TRUETT GARDNER, ASHLEY DRIVE.
HONORED WHO BE HERE ON BEHALF OF TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL.
WITH ME ADDIE CLARK AND TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL AND RANDY
COHEN WHO IS OUR TRAFFIC CONSULTANT.
AND IF I COULD, WE WILL BE BRIEF.
WE HAD UNANIMOUS RECOMMENDATION FROM THE ARC WITH THE
MENTION OF THE CONCERN OF THE TRAFFIC AND THE PARKING
WAIVER.
BUT WHICH RANDY IS HERE TO COVER BUT I WANTED TO TOUCH ON
JUST A FEW ITEMS.
ONE FROM A PROJECT AREA STANDPOINT, JUST TO GIVE YOU THE LAY
OF THE LAND OF WHERE THIS SITS WITHIN TGH'S HOLDINGS.
OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE THEIR MAIN CAMPUS ON DAVIS ISLAND.
AND UP IN THE NORTHWEST AREA OF THIS SLIDE IS THE FURMAN
PROPERTY WHICH IS NOW THEIR CAMPUS THERE AND MORE IN THE
CENTER JUST NORTH OF THE CROSSTOWN IS THEIR CORPORATE CENTER
SITE WHICH THEY RECENTLY THREE, FOUR YEARS AGO COMPLETED THE
3,000-SPACE GARAGE.
AND OBVIOUSLY THIS IS THE SITE WITH THE BLOW-UP TO THE RIGHT
AND NEXT, THIS IS THE EXISTING STRUCTURE AND COUNCILWOMAN
HURTAK TO YOUR POINT, I WILL EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED HERE.
CURRENTLY OPERATES AT THE NETTIE WEIGHT LOSS CLINIC.
BUT IN 2005 IT WAS REZONED FOR A TOWER OF 59 RESIDENTIAL
USES.
SOME THIS BUILDING WHICH TGH IS GOING TO KEEP FOR NOW IS
INCONGRUENT WITH THAT 2020 REZONING.
REALLY WHAT WE ARE DOING IS BLESSING SOMETHING THAT ALREADY
EXISTS AND SECONDLY ADDING IN MEDICAL OFFICE AS THE USE.
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM SAM'S SLIDES PROBABLY THE SHORTEST
STRUCTURE IN THIS WHOLE AREA.
WITH THAT R-1 APPROVED, WHICH IS THE SITE PLAN CONTROLLED
DISTRICT, AT SOME POINT THE HOPE IS THAT TGH REDEVELOPS THIS
PROPERTY.
AND DOESN'T WANT TO LOSE THAT RIGHT.
FOR NOW ALL WE ARE ASKING IS THIS.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT IN ORDER TO CHANGE THAT AND ADD
ANY DENSITY, THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO COME IN FRONT OF
YOU TO YOU REZONE AGAIN.
SO A LITTLE BIT OF A CONFUSING SITUATION, BUT THAT IS WHAT
IT IS AND LASTLY WHAT IS IT THAT WE ARE DOING.
WE ARE ADAPTIVELY REUSING THIS EXISTING STRUCTURE, NOT
ADDING ANY SQUARE FOOTAGE TO IT.
14,834 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING.
AGAIN NO ADDITIONS AND FINALLY WE ARE ASKING FOR THE MEDICAL
OFFICE USE TO FULFILL THE NEED FOR TGH THAT L.J. WILL GET
INTO.
TURN THINGS OVER TO ADDIE.
EFFICIENT WITH YOUR TIME.
THERE WERE SOME CONCERNS THAT WE WERE SURPRISED AT ARC.
WE SENT OUT TWO NOTICES.
POSTED THE PROPERTY.
HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING.
THAT NIGHT, SIX OR EIGHT PEOPLE SHOWED UP TO SPEAK.
WE IMMEDIATELY MET WITH THEM LAST WEEK.
OUR HEARING IN FRONT OF THE ARC WAS WEEK HALF AGO.
HONORED THAT HHPI HAS NOT TAKEN A POSITION AT ALL AND
PAT CIMINO, THE CHAIR OF HHPNA'S LAND USE COMMITTEE WROTE A
NICE LETTER STILL STATING SOME CONCERNS BUT EXPRESSING THAT
THEY DID NOT HAVE.
THEY ARE NOT OPPOSED TO THIS PROJECT IT IS IN YOUR RECORD
BUT I WILL BE HAPPY TO SUBMIT ANOTHER COPY OF THAT.
WITH THAT, ADDIE.
09:40:17PM >> GOOD EVENING, ADDIE CLARK, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
AS MENTIONED, WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK STAFF FOR THEIR REVIEW
AND HAPPY TO REPORT FINDINGS OF CONSISTENCY OF ALL THE
DEPARTMENTS EXCEPT FOR ONE TRANSPORTATION THANKS TO THE TWO
WAIVERS.
BEFORE GET INTO THOSE WAIVERS, WANT TO SAY THAT SUSTAINABLE
REDEVELOPMENT THROUGH ADAPTIVE REUSE IS ENCOURAGED BY THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
EVEN THOUGH AS WE KNOW ADAPTIVE IS REUSING A BUILDING AND
A SITE IN ITS LAYOUT MAY REQUIRE A FEW POTENTIAL WAIVERS
WHICH AGAIN ARE BOTH TRANSPORTATION RELATED.
THERE ARE NO NATURAL RESOURCE OR TREE WAIVERS FOR THAT PLAN.
THERE WAS AGREE RETENTION WAIVER BACK IN THE 2005 PLAN AND
WE ARE NOT REQUESTING TO BRING THAT FORWARD WITH US.
THE FIRST WAIVER IS BASED ON THE EXISTING SITE PLAY OUT
WHICH HAS THE PORTION OF THE PARKING LOT SHADED IN YELLOW
HAVING 20-FOOT DRIVE AISLES COMPARED TO THE 24-FOOT
TRIAL AISLES.
THIS WILL NOT CAUSE AN ISSUE.
THIS IS A CONDITION TODAY.
EXISTING 50 PARKING SPACES TO REMAIN.
A DETAILED PARKING WAIVER JUSTIFICATION STUDY AS WELL AS A
SEPARATE TRAFFIC STUDY ARE INCLUDED IN THE RECORD.
AND, AGAIN, RANDY COHEN IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY DETAILED
QUESTIONS.
TO WANT TO NOTE THAT THIS MEDICAL OFFICE THAT TGH HAS
PLANNED FEW PROVIDERS AND FEWER PATIENTS THAN A TYPICAL
MEDICAL OFFICE, BE THERE LOWERING THE PARKING DEMAND.
OFF-SITE PARKING A I AGREEMENTS IN PLACE, BUT ULTIMATELY
THE TGH HAS PREPARED AND THIS APPOINTMENT ONLY MEDICAL
OFFICE TO OPERATE APPROPRIATELY AND EFFICIENTLY IN THIS
LOCATION.
09:42:04PM >> WITH THAT, INTRODUCE L.G. TUNIS TO TALK OF WHAT TGH'S
INTENTIONS ARE FOR THE PROPERTY.
09:42:18PM >> GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
FOR NEARLY 100 YEARS, TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL HAS PROUDLY
SERVED THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF TAMPA.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SERVING FOR ANOTHER 100 YEARS AND BEYOND --
09:42:29PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
LET ME JUST STOP YOU FOR A SECOND.
WERE YOU SWORN IN?
I BELIEVE SO.
09:42:34PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
WHAT IS YOUR NAME.
09:42:36PM >> L.J. TUNIS, DIRECTOR OF REAL ESTATE FOR TAMPA GENERAL.
09:42:41PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SORRY FOR THE INTERRUPTION.
09:42:44PM >> OUR INVESTMENT IN OUR NEW PATIENT TOWER AN RANKING NUMBER
ONE IN THE COUNTRY FOR TRANSPLANTS.
DID OVER 884 TRANSPLANTS.
IT IS CRITICAL FOR MORE SYNERGY ON OUR CAMPUS OF SERVICES
THAT NEED ACUTE AND HOSPITAL-BASED CARE AND THOSE SERVICES
PROVIDED AT A MORE CONVENIENT LOCATION.
THIS PROPERTY ALLOWS US TO BRING THE SERVICES OFF THE ISLAND
TO KEEP THE IT INTACT.
AS SHOWN, WE ARE KEEPING ALL OF THE EXISTING IMPROVEMENT.
WE PLAN TO REMODEL THE INTERIOR OF THE PREMISE.
OUR PROGRAMMING INCLUDES APPOINTMENT-BASED -- SOLELY
IMPORTANT-BASED -- BY APPOINTMENT ONLY, REDUCING PARKING AND
TRAFFIC.
MULTIPLE IMAGING MODALITY THAT TAKE UP A LOT OF ROOM IN THE
IMPROVEMENTS.
PLAN ON OPENING DURING REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS MONDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY.
AND WE ALSO MET WITH THE SPANISH TOWN CREEK CIVIC
ASSOCIATION AND OTHERS LAST WEEK TO SATISFY CONCERNS OF OUR
APPLICATION AND PARKING.
WE ASKED FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND APPROVAL OF OUR ASK THIS
EVENING AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THANK YOU.
09:43:57PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYTHING FURTHER.
09:44:04PM >> THAT'S ALL WE HAVE FOR NOW.
AGAIN, PARKING WAS THE MAIN ISSUE.
I THINK L.J. THE INTENT OF WHAT HE IS SAYING HOW UNIQUE THIS
IS FOR TGH AND HOW IMPORTANT AND RANDY IS HERE AND ADDIE
MENTIONED THE JUSTIFICATIONS IN THE RECORD.
STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
09:44:22PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.
ITEM NUMBER 8.
WERE YOU BOTH SWORN IN?
09:44:32PM >> I HAVE NOT.
09:44:33PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
IF YOU WERE GOING TO SPEAK OF THIS CASE
AND THE NEXT CASE AND NOT SWORN IN, PLEASE STAND AND WE'LL
SWEAR YOU IN.
[SWEARING IN]
09:44:49PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
COME ON UP AND PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
09:44:51PM >> HI, MY NAME IS JOE HEFNER.
HEFNER ARCHITECTS.
AN OFFICE TO THE BUILDING TO THE NORTH.
4117 NORTH HYDE PARK AVENUE.
FOUR AND A HALF YEARS AGO, I DID HAVE TWO MORE MINUTES.
I WILL TRY TO GET THROUGH THIS IF I CAN.
THERE IS A LOT OF FUNNY MATH GOING ON THIS.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHY TAMPA GENERAL GETS AN EXCEPTION FROM
OTHER PEOPLE.
BUT SEE IF THAT COMES UP.
OKAY.
IF YOU READ ABOUT THE INTENT OF THE ACCESS OF PARKING.
INTENT OF THE ARTICLE ON THIS AS A ZONING CODE TO ENCOURAGE
THE APPROPRIATE LOCATION OF ALL STREET PARKING AND
OFF-STREET LIVING TO PROVIDE THE NEEDS AND LIVING TO THE
SERVICE OF THE CITY.
TO AVOID UNDUE CONGESTION ON THE STREETS.
THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO CREATE CONGESTION ON THE STREETS.
THIS ONE MERE AND PART OF THIS SAYS THAT ANY USE OF BUILDING
OR LAND IS ENLARGED BY 500 SQUARE FEET OR 5% WHICHEVER IS
GREATER IS INCREASED IN INTENSITY AND ANY OTHER CHANGE OF
USE WHICH IS WHAT IS GOING ON HERE.
OFF-STREET PARKING SPACES FOR AUTOMOBILES IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE REQUIREMENTS.
09:46:40PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WILL YOU FLIP THAT OVER.
WE HAVE TO HAVE IT FACE UP.
YOU READ IT.
09:46:46PM >> CAN I KEEP GOING?
09:46:48PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
YES, SIR.
09:46:49PM >> OKAY.
NEXT THING I HAVE HERE IS ALL THE CALCULATIONS THEY HAVE
BEEN DOING ARE BASED ON NET AREA.
AND THE CODE REQUIRES YOU OF THE STATES IN THE CODE AND
REQUIREMENTS.
AND SQUARE FOOT.
A MINOR THING AND TWO MORE PARKING SPACES AND THE NUMBER GO
FROM 83 TO 85.
WHAT IS REQUIRED ON THIS PROPERTY FOR THE USE THAT THEY ARE
ASKING FOR.
NEXT PAGE HERE FROM THE ZONING CODE.
GIVES THE USES THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR THE PARKING.
WHEN THIS BUILDING WAS BUILT IN 1980, IT WAS FOR A CPA FIRM.
AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 3.3 AND WHAT IS REQUIRED NOW,
6.0 IS THAT A NORMAL OFFICE BUILDING.
PEOPLE IF TO WORK IN THE MORNING.
THEY STAY THERE ALL DAY AND LEAVE AT NIGHT.
MEDICAL USES HAVE A TURNOVER OF PEOPLE.
PATIENTS SEE DOCTORS OVER 12 TO 15 MINUTES.
THEY ARE PUTTING THE IMAGING CENTER THIS THAT WILL SCHEDULE.
EVERYTHING IS SCHEDULED BUT A 20-MINUTE SCHEDULE ALL DAY
LONG.
AND YOU ARE TAKING 40 PARKING SPACES PROBABLY AND PUTTING
THEM ON THE STREET EVERY HOUR FOR A TURNOVER AND THE
POPULATION OF PEOPLE GOING IN AND OUT OF THAT BUILDING AND A
BIG DIFFERENCE FROM A NORMAL OFFICE BUILDING.
09:48:12PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
YOUR TIME IS UP.
09:48:23PM >> OKAY, CAN I CLOSE WITH ONE OTHER THING.
COUPLE OF THINGS THAT -- I DON'T REALLY -- I AM A TENANT.
I CAN MOVE OUT OF THIS BUILDING ANY TIME.
BUT IF YOU APPROVE THIS, YOU ARE APPROVING THE ZONING FOR
THE LIFE OF THE BUILDING.
ONCE YOU APPROVE THE MEDICAL USE, ANY TYPE OF MEDICAL USE
CAN GO IN THAT BUILDING WHICH WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT PARKING
RATIO FROM SIX SPACES EVEN UP TO SEVEN.
09:48:46PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
09:48:58PM >> GOOD EVENING.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
IT IS LATE.
I AM THE PROPERTY RIGHT NEXT DOOR.
I LIVED THERE 24-7.
MY CONCERN I KNOW MEDICAL OFFICES.
I HEARD THE WORD IMAGING.
YOU THINK OF IMAGING VERY HEAVY-WEIGHTED EQUIPMENT.
IS THIS STRUCTURE CONDUCIVE OF HOLDING THE TYPE OF
EQUIPMENT.
THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY, THE ELECTRICITY, THE ELECTRICAL
CURRENTS THAT IT NEEDS.
ALSO HAVE A COOLING SYSTEM AND THAT MEANS THERE ARE
GENERATORS OUTSIDE THAT WILL TAKE UP MORE PARKING.
ANY TYPE OF FUELING SYSTEM THAT MUST BE REQUIRED FOR
EMERGENCIES, ETC.
HAVE WE TAKEN INTO THAT CONSIDERATION WHICH AGAIN WILL TAKE
UP MORE SPACE.
WHEN WE COME TO PARKING DURING THE ART COMMITTEE MEETING A
COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, THEY MENTIONED THEY HAD
APPROVAL TO USE THE CHURCH PARKING.
I HEARD A COUPLE OF YOU MENTION YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS
BEING.
YOU ARE ALSO FAMILIAR WITH THE CHURCH.
IF YOU GO BY THAT CHURCH, TWO LOTS ONE THE PARK ON SOUTH
CEDAR.
IF YOU DRIVE BY THAT TODAY, TWO SIGNS THAT SAY TOW AWAY
ZONES.
YOU GO PAST AND LEFT ON DeLEON, A BACK PARKING LOT.
THAT PARKING LOT HAS A SIGN THAT SAYS TGH EMPLOYEES AND
CONTRACTORS.
YOU DRIVE BY THERE ANY TIME OF THE DAY, THAT PARKING LOT IS
ALREADY FULL WITH PEOPLE PARKING THERE SO MY QUESTION ARE,
IS THE CHURCH GOING TO ALLOW TO USE THE FRONT PARKING LOT OR
REMAIN AS A TOE AWAY ZONE.
I ALSO ASK WHEN YOU GO AROUND TO THE BACK OF BUILDING, THE
CURRENT BUILDING HAS AN EMPLOYEE ENTRANCE ONLY THE BACK
ENTRANCE FOR PATIENTS TO PARK AT, WILL THAT BE A DOOR THAT
IS CONDUCIVE FOR PATIENTS TO ENTER.
OTHERWISE YOU ARE HAVING PATIENTS GOING ALL AROUND THE
BUILDING.
LIVING ON DeLEON.
LIMITED PARKING FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ALREADY LIVE THERE.
WE DO PARK ON THAT STREET.
WE NEED THE EXTRA REQUIREMENTS FOR PARKING.
IF YOU COME DOWN SOUTH CEDAR STREET, YOU WILL ALSO NOTICE --
I BELIEVE THERE ARE 13 PARKING SPOTS.
IF YOU COME IN.
YOU PULL OUT.
THREE OPTIONS.
EITHER MAKE A LEFT ON DeLEON.
WE TALKED ABOUT THAT PARKING.
YOU GO OVER THE BRIDGE, NOT THE OPTION.
OR MAKE A RIGHT ON DeLEON.
STREET PARKING OR YOUR PATIENTS WILL HAVE TO GO AROUND THE
BUILDING.
I WILL ASK FOR EXTENSIVE COMMUNICATION TO THE PATIENTS FOR
ANYBODY THAT NEEDS TO PARK IN THAT BACK PARKING LOT.
THEY ARE NOT GOING TO KNOW IT IS THERE.
SO IN CONCLUSION, I AM ASKING YOU TO CONSIDER THESE
DIFFERENT THINGS AND SURE WE HAVE A PLAN.
ONE LAST THING, THE CROSSWALK IN FRONT.
I HOPE THAT TGH WILL WORK WITH THE CITY TO PUT A LIGHT
THERE.
I CROSS THAT ROAD EVERY SINGLE DAY, NOBODY STOPS.
THE SAFETY OF THE PATIENTS AND PEDESTRIANS AND CHILDREN THAT
WALK TO SCHOOL, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT TAKEN A STEP
FURTHER TOO.
THANK YOU.
I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TONIGHT.
09:51:57PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
YES, MA'AM.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYONE ELSE WHO IS HERE TO SPEAK?
DO YOU HAVE REBUTTAL?
SIR?
09:52:08PM >> MAIN CONCERN THAT RANDY WILL DISCUSS IS PARKING.
SQUARE FOOTAGE DISCREPANCY.
THE PROPERTY APPRAISER, THE DIFFERENCE IS THE SAY ADDITIONAL
SQUARE FOOTAGE IN THE GROSS FOR CANOPY AND THAT DOES NOT
COUNT TO THE F.A.R. THE NUMBER 13804 IS ACCURATE.
WE PAD MITT THAT TGH IS AN UNIQUE USER.
THEY ARE UNIQUELY SITUATED.
THIS TRAVELS WITH THE LAND.
FULLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT.
WITH LOOKED BACK AT TECO'S PROPERTIES THROUGH THEIR RECORD
TO SEE IF THEY EVER SOLD ANYTHING.
AND THEY COULD NOT COME UP WITH A SINGLE INSTANCE OF THAT.
SO I DO THINK THEY ARE UNIQUELY SUITED THERE.
SECONDLY, EVEN TAKING THAT ISSUE ASIDE, OUR CHOICE BECAUSE
OF YOUR CODE.
MEDICAL OFFICE AND MEDICAL CLINIC, MEDICAL CLINIC IS FAR
MORE INTENSIVE AS A SELF-REGULATOR.
MEDICAL OFFICE.
IF WE STEP BEYOND THAT, A CODE ENFORCEMENT ISSUE.
ON THE CROSSWALK ISSUE, ABSOLUTELY HAPPY TO WORK WITH THE
NEIGHBORS AND THE CITY ON THAT.
AND ALSO SHE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PATIENT ENTRANCE
WOULD BE INTERNAL AND THE ANSWER TO THAT IS YES.
AND I AM HAPPY TO SHOW THAT ON THE SITE PLAN.
WITH THAT, I WILL LET RANDY SPEAK, MR. MR. CARLSON MAY HAVE
A QUESTION.
09:53:34PM >>BILL CARLSON:
CAN I ASK A QUESTION?
CONCERN OF THE GENERATORS.
POSSIBLE THAT BE GENERATORS AND OTHER EQUIPMENT THAT WILL
PUT OUTSIDE THE BUILDING TO CAUSE NOISE OR CAUSE NOISE
POLLUTION?
09:53:46PM >> PERFECT SEGUE FOR ARE YOU, RANDY.
09:53:50PM >> RANDY COHEN, 2121 WEST CYPRESS SHEET.
NO GENERATORS ASSOCIATED THIS FACILITY.
OPERATES 8 TO 5, MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
BY APPOINTMENT ONLY FACILITY AND NO NEED FOR A GENERATORS
BECAUSE NO EMERGENCY CARE THAT HAPPENS IN THIS FACILITY.
I WANT TO GO AHEAD AND TALK ABOUT PARKING AND USE THE OVER
HEAD OKAY.
GREAT.
MEDICAL OFFICE A LITTLE OVER 13,000, UP TO 14,000 SQUARE
FEET.
WE HAVE ATYPICAL EQUIPMENT IN THIS MEDICAL FACILITY.
YOU GO TO A DOCTOR'S OFFICE.
YOU WILL NEVER DO A NRI AT A DOCTOR'S OFFICE.
A C.T. SCAN.
YOU MIGHT DO AN ULTRASOUND OF A LOWER QUALITY AT A DOCTOR'S
OFFICE.
LOW QUALITY X-RAYS.
THIS IS WHAT IS PROVIDED IN THIS BUILDING.
REHAB, TGH IS SPENDING SUBSTANTIAL MONEY TO PUT THIS
EQUIPMENT IN THE BUILDING.
THIS EQUIPMENT IS NOT FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC, FOR THE
PATIENTS OF THIS PARTICULAR FACILITY WHICH IS A CONCIERGE
SERVICE.
THEY DO THE NOT GENERATE TRAFFIC IN AND OF THEMSELVES.
THEY DO NOT GENERATE PARKING IN AND OF THEMSELVES.
WHEN YOU HAVE THE AREA FOR THIS EQUIPMENT, ABOUT 3500 SQUARE
FEET, YOU COME TO A LITTLE MORE THAN 10,000 SQUARE FEET OF
SPACE OF ACTUAL MEDICAL OFFICE AS I TALKED MANY TIMES IN THE
PAST, UPDATED THE CITY PARKING STUDY AND THEIR CRITERIA WAS
DOWN OVER 20 YEARS AGO AND THE SAME COHORT STUDY FOR 15
CITIES AND COUNTIES THAT THE COUNTY USED 20 YEARS AGO FOUND
THAT THE NEW PARKING RATIO FOR THAT SAME COHORT IS FIVE
SPACES PER 1,000 SQUARE FEET.
RECENTLY COUNCIL SAW FIT TO ADOPT FIVE SPACES PER THOUSAND
SQUARE FEET FOR MEDICAL OFFICE IN WEST SHORE OVERLAY.
IT IS BECOMING A STANDARD.
WHEN APPLY THAT TO LITTLE OVER 10,000 SQUARE FEET THAT WOULD
ATTRACT PATIENTS.
DEMAND OF 52 SPACES.
PROVIDING 50 SPACES.
ACTUAL DATA IS 476 SPACES.
AS THE CITY ROUNDED UP TO GET TO SIX SPACES FROM 5.6, I
ROUNDED UP FROM 4.6 TO FIVE.
SO, IN FACT, WE ARE VERY CLOSE IF NOT MEETING THE ACTUAL
PARKING STANDARD 20 YEARS AGO.
MEDICAL HAS CHANGED VERY SUBSTANTIALLY.
WITH THAT, I WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU
MAY HAVE.
09:56:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
09:56:24PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THE CONCERN ABOUT THE PARKING NEEDS AND
TURNOFF OF CUSTOMERS OF THIS KIND OF FACILITY VERSUS OTHER.
09:56:38PM >> THIS PARTICULAR FACILITY -- LET'S GO BACK, NORMAL MED
FACILITY OF 13,000 SQUARE FEET MIGHT HAVE 40 PATIENTS PER
HOUR.
THIS IS LIMITED IN ITS SIZE.
LIMITED IN POPULATION.
WILL HAVE MORE THAN 14 PATIENTS AT ANY ONE TIME.
CALCULATIONS THAT TGH DID FOR THEIR DEMAND FOR PARKING
BEFORE THEY DECIDED TO PURCHASE THIS PROPERTY DEMAND IS 47
SPACES.
WE ARE PROVIDING 50.
THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL MEDICAL OFFICE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY,
YOUR ZONING CODE ONLY PROVIDES FOR MEDICAL CLINIC, MEDICAL
OFFICE AND HOSPITAL.
SO WE HAVE TO FIT INTO ONE OF THOSE CATEGORIES.
THAT IS WHY WE ARE MEDICAL OFFICE.
09:57:19PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THANK YOU.
09:57:28PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYTHING ELSE?
ANYTHING FURTHER TO ADD?
09:57:33PM >> THAT'S IT.
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE AND THANK YOU FOR
YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.

COUNCILMAN CARLSON, WILL YOU LIKE TO READ THIS?
CARLSON CARL I WOULD NOT LIKE TO READ IT.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE COMMENT REAL FAST.
I WILL SUPPORT IN AT FIRST READING.
ONLY THING I WILL ASK IS MAYBE TRUETT, IF MAYBE YOU CAN MEET
WITH SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS.
I KNOW YOU MET WITH SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS.
I DIDN'T HEAR WHAT SPANISH CREEK SAID, BUT IF YOU -- I
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE NOT MISSING SOMETHING IN THIS.
BUT IN PARTICULAR, A CONCERN HOW TGH MIGHT COMMUNICATE WITH
PEOPLE AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT GOING AROUND AND AROUND
AND MAYBE ADDRESS SOME OF THAT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
READING AND WE WILL SEE -- I THINK WE ALREADY CLOSED AND YOU
CAN'T SAY ANYTHING.
BUT IF YOU COULD DO THAT.
I WILL SUPPORT IT, BUT I WOULD RATHER NOT MAKE THE MOTION.
AND WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS AT SECOND READING.

10:12:59PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:

10:13:09PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:

OPPOSED?
ANYTHING ELSE?
10:13:50PM >>GWEN HENDERSON:
THAT'S IT, SIR.
10:13:51PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I HAVE TWO MOTIONS FROM THE PLANNING
COMMISSION.
REQUEST BY PLANNING COMMISSION TO SET AN ADOPTION HEAR
FOR TA-CPA 24-20 APRIL 24, 2024 AT 5:01 P.M. AND THE FORM OF
NOTICE TO ADVERTISING A PUBLIC HEARING.
10:14:09PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
SECOND.
10:14:11PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
SECONDED FROM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
AND ANY OPPOSED?
ALL RIGHT, ANYTHING ELSE.
10:14:17PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WHY BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO
REMOVE TA/CPA 24-13 AND 24-16 FROM THE JANUARY 30, 2025 5
5:01 ADOPTED PUBLIC HEARINGS.
10:14:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
MOTION FROM CLENDENIN.
SECONDED FROM MIRANDA.
ANYONE OPPOSED?
YES, MA'AM?
10:14:39PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
NOW I KNOW SEVERAL OF YOU HAVE KNOWN -- WE HAVE GOTTEN SOME
INQUIRIES ABOUT YELLOW BRICK ROAD, BETTER KNOWN AS NORTH
FRANKLIN.
AND I MET WITH VIC.
AND APPARENTLY, WE CAN BASICALLY HELP OUT THOSE BUSINESSES
AND RESIDENCES BY ADDING THIS SECTION TO EXISTING CODE WHICH
IS BASICALLY -- THEY CALL IT A RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT
BUT IT ISN'T REAL HERE FOR RESIDENCES BUT ALSO FOR
BUSINESSES.
THEY WILL ALLOW BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTS IN THAT CORRIDOR TO
ARE HAVE SEVERAL PARKING PASSES THAT THEY CAN USE.
SO THIS ALREADY EXISTS IN CHANNELSIDE AND YBOR AND AREAS
LIKE THAT.
BUT STAFF CAN'T DO IT BY THEMSELVES.
HAS TO BE DONE BY ORDINANCE THAT IS WHAT THIS IS.
I MOVE TO ADD THE NORTH FRANKLIN STREET CORRIDOR TO SECTION
15-104 OF THE EXISTING CODE.
BOUNDARIES ARE EAST K STREET TO THE SOUTH.
NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE TO THE EAST.
EAST OAK AVENUE TO THE NORTH.
AND NORTH TAMPA STREET TO THE WEST.
I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE BROUGHT BACK AT THE FEBRUARY 6, 2025
MEETING.
10:15:46PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
A MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
SECONDED FROM COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
OPPOSED?
ANYTHING ELSE?
10:15:54PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ONLY THING -- I KIND OF WANT -- OBVIOUSLY
STORMWATER, WHEN WE ARE LOOKING AT STORMWATER.
I THINK SOMETHING THAT WAS BROUGHT UP TONIGHT THAT WE HADN'T
TALKED ABOUT YET BUT THAT WE PROBABLY NEED TO IS COASTAL
HIGH HAZARD AREA.
I DON'T KNOW -- I AM GOING TO TALK TO SOME FOLKS FIRST, BUT
I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW I WILL BE WORKING ON IT TO EITHER
BRING TO A WORKSHOP OR JUST TAN UPDATE FOR US TO GET THE
BALL ROLLING.
UNFORTUNATELY THE FIRST WORKSHOP IS APRIL, AND I WOULD LIKE
TO START TALKING ABOUT IT BEFORE, MAYBE I WILL ASK FOR A
WRITTEN REPORT OR SOMETHING JUST TO COME BACK SOONER JUST TO
GET US TALKING ABOUT -- JUST OPENING THE CONVERSATION BEING
DEVELOPMENT IN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA.
10:16:36PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
MR. SHELBY.
10:16:38PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
WE CAN TALK OFF-LINE.
BUT YOU HAVE BOTH THE COMP PLAN UPDATE AND YOU ALSO HAVE THE
CHAPTER 27.
10:16:47PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I KNOW.
BUT -- BUT RIGHT NOW, THE PUBLIC IS ASKING US TO DO WHATEVER
WE CAN.
SO I KNOW WE HAVE THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE, BUT I
DON'T KNOW THAT WE ARE SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSING COASTAL HIGH
HAZARD AREA THIS THAT.
AND I THINK FOR US AS A BODY SHOWING THE PUBLIC THAT WE ARE
-- WE ARE TAKING THE -- THE STORM SURGE SERIOUSLY THAT
WE REALLY HAVE TO START TALKING ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT IN
THIS AREA.
SO I DON'T WANT TO START A GIANT CONVERSATION, BUT I WANTED
FOLKS TO KNOW IF THEY ARE GOING TO WORK ON IT, I'M GOING TO
TRY TO BRING SOMETHING FORWARD TO START TALKING ABOUT THAT.
10:17:26PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
I BELIEVE -- I BELIEVE IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN
MISS FEELEY WAS GOING TO BE BRINGING IN THE CONSULTANT.
10:17:33PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
UNFORTUNATELY THAT WON'T BE UNTIL MARCH NOW
BECAUSE WE HAD TO EXTEND THE MEETING.
THAT WILL BE COMING TO US LATER.
10:17:40PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
BUT THERE IS A WOULD BE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY
TO BE ABLE TO BRING UP ALL THESE ISSUES.
10:17:45PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES, THANK YOU.
10:17:46PM >>CATE WELLS:
CATE WELLS WITH THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
WHEN TALKING OF THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA, SOMETHING
ADDRESSED THROUGH THE FUTURE LAND USE UPDATE IN THE COMP
PLAN AND NOT THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE.
10:17:56PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
KIND OF WHAT I HAVE GONE FIGURING.
10:17:59PM >> TWO DIFFERENT PATHS MOVING TOGETHER.
10:18:06PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THAT IS WHAT I MEAN.
I WILL TALK TO DEPARTMENTS AND FIGURE OUT WHEN THAT IS.
I WILL FIGURE OUT WHEN WE MIGHT NEED TO ADD TO THAT.
THAT WILL GO ALONG WITH THE STORMWATER INQUIRY THAT THE
COUNTY AND THE CITY ARE DOING TOGETHER.
SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT IS ON OUR RADAR THAT WE
START TALKING ABOUT IT.
THAT'S IT.
10:18:31PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
A MOTION AND A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE -- NO MOTION?
OKAY, ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
SIR?
10:18:38PM >>BILL CARLSON:

10:19:00PM >>LYNN HURTAK:

10:19:03PM >>BILL CARLSON:

10:19:09PM >>BILL CARLSON:

10:19:21PM >>BILL CARLSON:

FOR LISA CHESHIRE TO NAME THAT LITTLE POCKET PARK AFTER HER

YOU ALL HAVE THE FIRE AND MET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS AND WOULD
LIKE TO.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR STAFF TO REVIEW THE
ENCLOSED APPLICATION FOR THE HONORING RENAMING OF THE PARK
FOR WYNWOOD AND MARKUM AFTER THE LATE LISA CHESHIRE.
AND STAFF RETURNS WITH A PRESENTATION AT THE MARCH 6
MEETING.
10:19:52PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:

COMMENDATION.
NOT THE FIRST TIME.
10:20:05PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ANYTHING ELSE?
10:20:08PM >>BILL CARLSON:
LAST ONE IS.
I DON'T REMEMBER US TALKING ABOUT THIS BEFORE, BUT I AM OLD
ENOUGH TO REMEMBER 1976, THE BICENTENNIAL.
THE 250th ANNIVERSARY IS COMING UP.
PUT TOGETHER AN AD HOC COMMITTEE TO MEET A FEW TIMES TO SEE
WHAT WE SHOULD DO AND DO SOMETHING SPECIAL.
I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC INSTEAD OF JUST
LISTENING TO STAFF.
UNLESS SOMEBODY OBJECTS, MAKE MOTION TO HAVE CITY STAFF
REPORT FOR A VOTE BACK ON MARCH 30 AS TO THE POSSIBILITY OF
CREATING AN AD HOC COMMITTEE TO ADVISE ON A SEMI
QUINSCENTENNIAL CELEBRATION THAT WILL HAVE SEVEN APPOINTEES
OF CITY COUNCIL AND FOUR BY THE MAYOR AND MEET THREE TIMES
TO PRESENT -- TO PRESENT THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL.
10:20:55PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WHEN SOMEBODY IN.
10:20:58PM >>BILL CARLSON:
MARCH -- DID I -- I MEANT SIX.
SORRY.
10:21:03PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
MOTION AND A SECOND.
10:21:05PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SECOND.
10:21:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
ANYTHING ELSE?
10:21:10PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THAT'S IT.
10:21:11PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ONE LAST THING FOR NEXT THURSDAY'S
AGENDA, THERE IS AN ITEM THAT SAYS -- SAYS CLENDENIN MADE
THE MOTION BUT THE MOTION WAS MADE BY ME REGARDING A STREET
NAMING -- HONORARY STREET NAMING FOR MOSES WHITE.
I THINK THAT WAS DONE IN ERROR.
I HAD OTHER INTENTIONS WITH THAT.
ALREADY A MOSES WHITE STREET NAME ON MAIN STREET.
SO I WANT TO CONTINUE THAT ITEM.
IS IT APPROPRIATE TO DO THAT NOW, MR. SHELBY CONCURRENCY
CONCURRENCY MAKE MOTION TO FIX THE SCRIVENER'S ERROR.
10:21:46PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SHOW THIS FOR NEXT THURSDAY'S REGULAR
MEETING.
SEND A MEMO OUT OR CONTINUE IT?
JUST TO CONTINUE IT BECAUSE THERE IS --
10:21:55PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
DO YOU HAVE A DATE.
10:21:57PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
10:21:59PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
WHY DON'T WE REMOVE OF IT FROM THE AGENDA.
10:22:02PM >>GWEN HENDERSON:
WILL GO ALONG WITH THAT AS WELL.
PAUSE A WEEK WAS MADE FOR HIM A WEEK AFTER HE WAS PASSED
AWAY.
I THINK IT WAS ON THE SAME -- THE SAME LINE -- I SAW THAT.
10:22:11PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
I DON'T KNOW WHO MADE THE ORIGINAL MOTION.
10:22:14PM >>GWEN HENDERSON:
BUT LISTED TOGETHER IN TERMS OF IT BEING
ON THE AGENDA.
10:22:19PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
NO, IT IS TWO SEPARATE LINE ITEMS.
YEAH, IT SHOW IT IS HERE.
I WOULD --
10:22:25PM >>GWEN HENDERSON:
WHAT DID I READ, A MEMO.
10:22:27PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IT IS.
RIGHT NEXT TO IT.
10:22:30PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SAYS CONTINUE TO CONTINUE.
MAKE A MOTION TO REMOVE IT.
STAFF TO PROVIDE A PRESENTATION ON AN HONORARY STREET
RENAMING FOR MOSES WHITE.
WHY?
BECAUSE THERE IS ALREADY A STREET NAMED AFTER HIM, AND I
WANTED TO DO SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
SO THAT -- THAT IS MY MOTION AND IF COUNCILMAN MIRANDA --
10:22:52PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
