5:20:09PM HELLO, SIR.
5:20:13PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
5:20:13PM >> MY NAME IS ALVARO RODRIGUEZ.
5:20:17PM I AM THE ARCHITECT ON THE PROJECT.
5:20:20PM MOST OF THE INFORMATION THAT THEY ALREADY SHOW US IS THE
5:20:23PM INFORMATION THAT I BASICALLY I SUPPOSED TO DISCUSS WITH YOU.
5:20:28PM I DON'T KNOW IF IT MAKES SENSE TO REPEAT THAT INFORMATION
5:20:30PM AGAIN.

5:20:34PM THE TRANSPORTATION, WITH LANDSCAPING, WITH THE F.D.O.T.,
5:20:38PM WITH THE ROADS, AND I ONLY HAVE APPROVAL EVERYBODY.
5:20:44PM THE TRANSITION OF THE PROJECT I THINK IS REALLY NICE BECAUSE
5:20:47PM WE WOULD HAVE A TRANSITION BETWEEN INDUSTRIAL COMMERCIAL,
5:20:52PM RESIDENTIAL.
5:20:53PM AND THE SETBACK THAT WE HAVE ON THE RS 50 THAT IS BETWEEN
5:20:56PM THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY IS 20 FEET -- 19 FEET SETBACK
5:21:01PM PLUS 14 FEET OF THE ALLEY, AND THAT WOULD BE A REALLY NICE
5:21:05PM BUFFER BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL IN THE BACK AND THE ASSISTED
5:21:09PM LIVING FACILITY AT THE FRONT.
5:21:11PM I AM CONFIDENT THAT THIS PROJECT WILL IMPROVE THAT AREA.
5:21:17PM I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

5:21:29PM THIS IS AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY.
5:21:30PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THIS IS AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY.
5:21:32PM SO THAT'S WHY THERE'S ONLY 24 PARKING SPACES REQUIRED
5:21:36PM BECAUSE THOSE FOLKS BY AND LARGE DON'T HAVE CARS.
5:21:38PM >> EXACTLY.
5:21:39PM USUALLY THE PEOPLE MOVE THERE ARE ELDERLY PEOPLE THAT LIVE
5:21:46PM THERE AND THEY HAVE 24-HOUR CARE INSIDE THE FACILITY.
5:21:48PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE CLARIFIED THAT

5:25:27PM THE PD IS A REQUEST TO ALLOW ALL CG USES ON THE SITE.
5:25:31PM CG USES CAN BE CONSIDERED WITHIN THE CMU 35 DESIGNATION.
5:25:35PM AFTER REVIEWING THE SURROUNDING AREA, PLANNING COMMISSION
5:25:38PM STAFF FINDS THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ALIGNS WITH THE

5:26:45PM BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF

5:27:02PM WE'LL START WITH AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND THE
5:27:10PM SURROUNDING AREA.
5:27:10PM YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN RED ON SOUTH HOWARD
5:27:15PM AVENUE.
5:27:15PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS CURRENTLY A COMMERCIAL BUILDING.

5:27:40PM COMMERCIAL GENERAL ZONING IS PROMINENT IN THIS AREA ALONG
5:27:43PM SOUTH HOWARD AVENUE AND WEST PLATT STREET.
5:27:45PM CONSIDERING THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, THE
5:27:47PM REQUESTED USE OF COMMERCIAL GENERAL PROVIDES AN APPROPRIATE
5:27:50PM INFILL.
5:27:52PM HERE IS THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.
5:27:56PM THE APPLICANT IS KEEPING THE EXISTING ONE-STORY COMMERCIAL
5:28:00PM BUILDING ON-SITE AND NOT PROPOSING ANY CHANGES TO THE

5:28:07PM ENTRY TO THE SITE FROM HOWARD AVENUE IS TWO-WAY AS IS ENTRY
5:28:12PM AND EXIT FROM THE ALLEY TO THE WEST.
5:28:14PM THERE IS EXISTING SURFACE PARKING.

5:28:22PM FIVE-FOOT CONCRETE SIDEWALK ALONG SOUTH HOWARD AVENUE.
5:28:25PM 28 PARKING SPACES ARE REQUIRED AND 11 SPACES ARE BEING
5:28:30PM PROVIDED.
5:28:31PM THE MAXIMUM PROPOSED BUILDING HEIGHT IS 45 FEET.
5:28:34PM THERE IS ONE NEW WAIVER REQUESTED AS PART OF THIS

5:28:40PM 11 SPACES AND ONE NEW WAIVER THAT THE BUILDING SHALL BE SET
5:28:44PM BACK NO LESS THAN 10 FEET AND NO MORE THAN 18 FEET FROM THE
5:28:48PM FRONT PROPERTY LINE AT GROUND LEVEL.
5:28:51PM THE SITE IS IN THE SOUTH HOWARD COMMERCIAL OVERLAY AND MUST
5:28:54PM COMPLY WITH DESIGN STANDARDS AT THE TIME OF PERMITTING.
5:28:57PM HERE ARE THE SITE PHOTOS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.
5:29:04PM TO THE WEST.
5:29:04PM TO THE EAST.
5:29:07PM THE SOUTH SIDE, AND THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING.
5:29:11PM AND HERE ARE ADDITIONAL PHOTOS OF THE SITE.
5:29:17PM THIS IS LOOKING AT THE SITE.
5:29:20PM RIGHT HERE IS HOWARD.
5:29:22PM THIS IS LOOKING AT THE SITE FROM THE EXISTING PARKING AREA.
5:29:30PM THIS IS LOOKING EAST ACROSS HOWARD TOWARDS PLATT.
5:29:34PM THIS IS PLATT HERE.
5:29:35PM THIS IS LOOKING WEST DOWN PLATT, AND THIS IS NEAR THAT ALLEY
5:29:43PM THERE.
5:29:44PM THIS IS LOOKING DOWN PLATT AND RIGHT HERE IS THE SUBJECT
5:29:51PM SITE.
5:29:53PM THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH AT THE PARKING NEAR THE ALLEY.
5:30:01PM THIS IS LOOKING NORTH DOWN HOWARD AVENUE, AND THIS IS THAT

5:30:08PM THIS IS DIRECTLY BEHIND THAT OFF THE ALLEY.
5:30:14PM THIS IS LOOKING NORTH DOWN THE ALLEY ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE
5:30:18PM SITE.
5:30:21PM AND FINALLY, THIS IS LOOKING AT THE SITE PARKING ON THE
5:30:24PM NORTH SIDE.
5:30:25PM DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION AND COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE
5:30:29PM APPLICATION AND FIND THE REQUEST TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE
5:30:32PM LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
5:30:32PM THERE ARE TWO WAIVERS AS PART OF THIS REQUEST.
5:30:35PM IF CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THIS APPLICATION, THE MODIFICATIONS
5:30:39PM TO THE SITE PLAN ARE SHOWN ON THE SUBMITTED REVISION SHEET
5:30:42PM MUST BE COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
5:30:44PM I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
5:30:45PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
5:30:47PM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
5:30:48PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SO THE EXISTING BUILDING IS REMAINING.
5:30:52PM >>STEPHANIE POPE: YES, SIR.
5:30:53PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IT'S JUST A CHANGE TO THE ALL COMMERCIAL
5:30:55PM GENERAL USES IN THE PD.
5:30:56PM SO WHY A PD?
5:30:57PM MAYBE THE APPLICANT WILL ANSWER THAT QUESTION?
5:31:02PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HELLO, SIR.
5:31:03PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
5:31:08PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: STEVE MICHELINI, REPRESENTING THE
5:31:10PM PETITIONER.
5:31:11PM WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE STAFF AND ALSO WITH THIS
5:31:15PM PARTICULAR SITE FOR A LITTLE OVER EIGHT TO TEN MONTHS TRYING
5:31:18PM TO GET PERMITS FOR SMALL-SCALE COMMERCIAL USE.
5:31:22PM AND WE CAN'T GET THEM BECAUSE THE SITE SIMPLY DOESN'T
5:31:26PM COMPLY.
5:31:27PM OVER THE COURSE OF YEARS, THE CITY HAS TAKEN RIGHT-OF-WAY
5:31:30PM FROM BOTH PLATT STREET AND HOWARD AND ELIMINATED ALL THE
5:31:34PM PARKING THAT WE DID HAVE ALONG HOWARD.
5:31:37PM IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT AREA TO TRY TO DEAL WITH.
5:31:40PM SO WE'RE ALSO LIMITING THE REQUEST TO THE ONE-STORY
5:31:44PM REMAINING SO THAT YOU WILL ONLY HAVE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF
5:31:48PM THE 5800 SQUARE FEET IS ALL THAT WILL EVER BE ALLOWED.
5:31:53PM AND THE TYPES OF USES THAT THEY WERE LOOKING AT WERE LIKE A
5:31:57PM SMOOTHIE SHOP, A DOUGHNUT SHOP, THINGS LIKE THAT.
5:31:59PM BUT WHEN YOU GO IN FOR PERMITTING, YOU SIMPLY CAN'T MEET THE
5:32:03PM CODE.
5:32:03PM THE BUILDING IS BUILT BASICALLY AT ZERO LOT LINE, EXCEPT ON
5:32:08PM ONE SIDE, WHICH IS THREE FEET.
5:32:10PM AND THERE'S NO OTHER WAY.
5:32:12PM YOU CAN'T MEET WITH THE CG SETBACK REQUIREMENTS.
5:32:15PM AND I THINK THE STAFF SHOWED YOU THE SITE PLAN.
5:32:20PM THE CITY IS ALSO ASKING FOR US TO GIVE UP SOME AREA AT THIS
5:32:24PM CORNER FOR A SIGNAL BOX, WHICH FURTHER CONSTRAINS OUR SITE.
5:32:30PM THIS IS THE EXISTING PARKING LOT AND IT FUNCTIONS AS A LOW
5:32:34PM INTENSIVE COMMERCIAL BUILDING.
5:32:37PM THIS IS THE VIEW.
5:32:41PM THESE PARKING SPACES WERE JUST REMOVED BY THE CITY, SO THAT
5:32:46PM CONTINUES TO CAUSE US ADDITIONAL ISSUES.
5:32:49PM AND YOU CAN LOOK AT THIS PICTURE, YOU CAN SEE THE BUILDING
5:32:53PM BASICALLY IS RIGHT ON THE SIDEWALK.
5:32:54PM AND WE HAVE UTILIZED THE ALLEY FOR ACCESS, AND WE ARE ABLE
5:33:02PM TO USE THESE TWO SPACES.
5:33:03PM WE'LL HAVE TO REMOVE ONE OF THEM WHEN WE MEET THE HANDICAP
5:33:07PM CODE.
5:33:08PM SO THAT'S WHY THE REDUCTION WAS DOWN TO 11.
5:33:15PM SO WE'VE LOST ONE OF THEM.
5:33:18PM THIS IS THE AERIAL VIEW.
5:33:20PM YOU CAN SEE THE BUILDING IS RIGHT UP ON THE SIDEWALK ON
5:33:24PM HOWARD.
5:33:25PM I ALSO JUST SHOWED YOU PLATT STREET.
5:33:28PM THIS IS THE VIEW OF THE PARKING LOT.
5:33:31PM AND THIS DRIVEWAY WILL BE REDEVELOPED AND RECONSTRUCTED TO
5:33:36PM MEET THE CURRENT CITY CODE.
5:33:40PM THIS IS A VIEW LOOKING WEST AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE
5:33:46PM BUILDING.
5:33:47PM AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE PARKING SPACES USED TO BE AND NOW
5:33:53PM WE'VE BEEN REQUIRED TO REMOVE ALL OF THEM AND THEN A SIGNAL
5:33:56PM BOX REQUESTED BY THE CITY WILL WE'LL DONATE PROPERTY --
5:34:01PM WHICH WE'LL DONATE PROPERTY TO FOR THAT.
5:34:03PM BASICALLY, WE ARE SITE CONSTRAINED, BUT WHAT'S LACKING ON
5:34:11PM SOUTH HOWARD IS THE SMALL COMMERCIAL USES LIKE THE PERSONAL
5:34:17PM SERVICES AND ALSO THINGS LIKE I MENTIONED, THE DOUGHNUT SHOP
5:34:20PM AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
5:34:21PM ANYWAY, WE ARE SEVERELY SITE CONSTRAINED.
5:34:28PM WE'RE NOT ASKING TO EXPAND THE BUILDING ON THE USE.
5:34:30PM WE SIMPLY WANT TO VEST THE CG USES WHICH WE CURRENTLY HAVE
5:34:35PM UNDER THE CG ZONING AND ALLOW THE SETBACKS THAT WE HAVE TO
5:34:40PM BE CONSISTENT WITH THE CODE.
5:34:42PM THE BUILDING WAS BUILT IN 1950, AND THIS PROPERTY OWNER IS
5:34:48PM AN ELDERLY WOMAN WHO HAS OWNED THE BUILDING SINCE IT WAS
5:34:52PM FIRST BUILT.
5:34:54PM I'LL ENTER THIS INTO THE RECORD.
5:34:56PM SAYS I'M APPLYING FOR THE REZONING AT 223 SOUTH HOWARD SO
5:35:00PM I'M ABLE TO LEASE THE PROPERTY.
5:35:01PM AS I'VE SAID, WE'VE HAD EXTREME DIFFICULTIES IN LEASING.
5:35:05PM WE CAN'T GET PAST THE PERMITTING STAGE.
5:35:07PM WE'D LIKE TO USE A COFFEE SHOP OR NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE RETAIL.
5:35:11PM THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN IN MY FAMILY SINCE 1950.
5:35:14PM I'M NOT PLANNING TO SELL THE BUILDING OR DO ANY LARGE
5:35:17PM RECONSTRUCTION.
5:35:18PM IN THE EVENT THAT WE CAME BACK TO YOU WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT
5:35:20PM PLAN, WE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK FOR ANOTHER REZONING.
5:35:23PM THAT'S WHY WE'VE LOCKED IT IN AT THE SINGLE STORY AND
5:35:27PM EXISTING SQUARE FOOTAGE.
5:35:30PM I'D LIKE TO RENT THE PROPERTY TO A SMALL BUSINESS FOR USE OF
5:35:33PM RETAIL SUCH AS COFFEE SHOP, FLOWER SHOP, SMOOTHIE STORE.
5:35:37PM UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO THE CURRENT ZONING OF THE BUILDING AND
5:35:39PM THE PARKING, I'VE BEEN PREVENTED FROM LEASING IT.
5:35:42PM THAT HAS CAUSED GREAT HARDSHIP ON MY FAMILY AS I'M GETTING
5:35:46PM OLDER AND HEALTH HAS BEEN IN DECLINE.
5:35:49PM STRESS AND ALSO OF INCOME PUT AN ADDITIONAL TOLL ON MY
5:35:53PM HEALTH.
5:35:53PM NO LONGER ABLE TO LIVE IN THE HOME I'VE BEEN IN 40 YEARS
5:35:58PM FROM DAMAGE FROM THE HURRICANES.
5:35:59PM I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL.
5:36:01PM AGAIN, WE WERE NOT PUSHING THE ENVELOPE ON THIS.
5:36:05PM WE ARE SIMPLY TRYING TO ELIMINATE THE DIFFICULTY IN LEASES.
5:36:09PM YOU SEE THE LEASING SIGNS UP THERE.
5:36:11PM WE'VE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE INQUIRE ABOUT THE LEASE.
5:36:14PM SIMPLY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT.
5:36:16PM WITH RESPECT TO SELF-CREATED HARDSHIP, WE DID NOT CREATE
5:36:20PM THAT HARDSHIP AND THE WAIVERS WERE JUSTIFIED BECAUSE THE
5:36:25PM PARKING EXISTS AND WE HAVE NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE IN ORDER TO
5:36:28PM TRY TO PLAN TO ADDRESS ADDITIONAL PARKING.
5:36:32PM WITH RESPECT TO THE SETBACKS, THE BUILDING EXISTS AS IT IS.
5:36:37PM WE'RE NOT PLANNING ANY EXPANSION OF THAT BUILDING.
5:36:41PM SO, THEREFORE, THAT WAIVER SHOULD BE REASONABLY -- SHOULD BE
5:36:46PM REASONABLE.
5:36:47PM THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS FOUND IT TO BE CONSISTENT.
5:36:49PM CITY STAFF HAS FOUND IT TO BE CONSISTENT EXCEPT FOR THE
5:36:53PM DEGREE OF THE WAIVERS FOR THE PARKING.
5:36:55PM HOWEVER, WE HAVE NO OTHER WAY OF MEETING THAT.
5:36:57PM WE ARE IN TWO TRANSIT CORRIDORS, BOTH HOWARD AND PLATT AND
5:37:02PM WE'RE LOOKING FOR, WITH NO EXPANSION, LIMITED TO SINGLE
5:37:06PM STORY IN THE 5800 SQUARE FEET THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS.
5:37:09PM WE'RE REDESIGNING THE HANDICAP SPACES SO THEY'LL MEET
5:37:12PM CURRENT CODE, AND WE'RE PROVIDING ADDITIONAL PROPERTY TO THE
5:37:16PM CITY FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT THE CORNER OF PLATT AND
5:37:20PM HOWARD.
5:37:20PM I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
5:37:24PM WE WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE AND FILE THE PLANNING COMMISSION
5:37:26PM REPORT FINDING IT CONSISTENT AND THE CITY'S REPORT AS WELL.
5:37:29PM I BELIEVE THAT I HAVE GONE THROUGH ALL THE CRITERIA REQUIRED
5:37:33PM FOR A PD AND EXPLAINED WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR THAT VERSUS A
5:37:38PM STRAIGHT -- LEAVING THE CG AS IT IS.
5:37:40PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

5:40:17PM IT IS OUTLINED IN THE COLOR PURPLE.
5:40:19PM IT'S JUST TO THE EAST OF NORTH 40th STREET.
5:40:22PM SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE.
5:40:24PM AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IS
5:40:26PM PREDOMINANTLY COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE WITH SOME LIGHT
5:40:30PM INDUSTRIAL USES.
5:40:31PM I DO WANT TO NOTE THERE ARE SOME RESIDENCES TO THE EAST OF
5:40:39PM THE SITE.
5:40:40PM HERE.
5:40:42PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS RECOGNIZED UNDER THE TRANSITIONAL USE 24
5:40:50PM DESIGNATION, SO THAT CATEGORY ALLOWS FOR A RANGE OF USES,
5:40:54PM ANYTHING FROM RESIDENTIAL ALL THE WAY UP TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL
5:40:59PM TYPE USES.
5:41:00PM THAT DESIGNATION SURROUNDS THE SUBJECT SITE ON ALL SIDES.
5:41:04PM SOUTH OF 10th AVENUE, GRAY COLOR REPRESENTS LANDS
5:41:09PM RECOGNIZED UNDER THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DESIGNATION.
5:41:12PM PROPOSED CI ZONING DISTRICT CAN BE CONSIDERED IN THE TU 24
5:41:16PM DESIGNATION, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CONSISTENCY MATRIX
5:41:20PM IN SECTION 27-21 OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
5:41:24PM SINCE 2016, THREE REZONING REQUESTS WITHIN A QUARTER-MILE
5:41:28PM RADIUS HAVE BEEN APPROVED FROM RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL
5:41:31PM ZONING, REFLECTING A SHIFT TOWARD NONRESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
5:41:35PM IN THE AREA.
5:41:35PM PROPOSED CI ZONING IS APPROPRIATE FOR THIS SITE, PROVIDED
5:41:39PM FUTURE DEVELOPMENT MITIGATES POTENTIAL IMPACTS ON NEARBY
5:41:42PM RESIDENCES, BUFFERING, SCALE, AND DESIGN.
5:41:45PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROMOTES A MIX OF USES, EMPLOYMENT
5:41:48PM OPPORTUNITIES, AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT WHILE ENSURING
5:41:51PM COMPATIBILITY WITH RESIDENTIAL AREAS THROUGH CONTEXT
5:41:56PM SENSITIVE DESIGN TRANSITIONS.
5:41:59PM CONSIDERING THE EXISTING ZONING DISTRICT SURROUNDING THE
5:42:01PM SITE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EMPHASIS ON COMPATIBILITY, THE
5:42:03PM PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS DETERMINED THAT THE PROPOSED
5:42:04PM CI ZONING IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THE
5:42:07PM AREA.
5:42:08PM THE REZONING WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR INFILL DEVELOPMENT,
5:42:12PM REDEVELOPMENT OF THE VACANT SITE IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE
5:42:14PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
5:42:15PM IN CONCLUSION, THE PROPOSED CI ZONING DISTRICT WOULD ALLOW
5:42:18PM FOR DEVELOPMENT THAT IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE
5:42:20PM CHARACTER OF THE SURROUNDING AREA AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
5:42:23PM DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ANTICIPATED UNDER THE TU-24 DESIGNATION.
5:42:27PM BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
5:42:30PM FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE
5:42:32PM PLAN.
5:42:32PM THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
5:42:33PM I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

5:44:12PM SIDE OF EAST 11th AVENUE.
5:44:14PM IT DOES, IN FACT, HAVE A TOTAL OF 324 FEET OF STREET
5:44:17PM FRONTAGE.
5:44:18PM GIVEN THE SURROUNDING USES, THE REQUESTED USE OF CI
5:44:32PM COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE ZONING IS APPROPRIATE IN LOCATION AND
5:44:36PM PROVIDES AN APPROPRIATE TRANSITION WITH SURROUNDING PARCELS.
5:44:40PM SINCE THIS IS A EUCLIDEAN REZONING, THERE IS NO SITE PLAN OR
5:44:45PM ELEVATIONS TO SHOW.
5:44:46PM WE DO HAVE SOME PHOTOS.

5:49:25PM WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE USE OF THE PROPERTY.
5:49:27PM >> CORRECT.

5:51:47PM 2508 NORTH 58th STREET FROM RM 16 TO IG FOR INDUSTRIAL
5:51:54PM GENERAL USES.
5:51:55PM I'LL TURN IT OVER TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
5:51:59PM >>DANNY COLLINS: DANNY COLLINS, AGAIN WITH YOUR PLANNING
5:52:02PM COMMISSION STAFF.
5:52:02PM I WAS SWORN IN.
5:52:03PM OUR NEXT CASE IS ALSO IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING
5:52:06PM DISTRICT.
5:52:06PM IT'S WITHIN EVACUATION ZONE E.
5:52:10PM THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.
5:52:12PM IT IS JUST TO THE NORTH OF BROADWAY AVENUE AND TO THE WEST
5:52:15PM OF NORTH 58th STREET.
5:52:17PM AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IS
5:52:20PM PREDOMINANTLY COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE WITH SOME INDUSTRIAL
5:52:22PM USES.
5:52:23PM TO THE NORTH, WE DO HAVE SOME RESIDENCES.
5:52:27PM THE PROPOSED CI -- THIS IS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
5:52:34PM THE SUBJECT SITE, INCLUDING THE PARCELS SURROUNDING IT ARE
5:52:38PM RECOGNIZED UNDER THE TU-24 DESIGNATION, SIMILAR TO THE LAST
5:52:42PM CASE WE JUST HEARD.
5:52:43PM THEY DO ALLOW FOR A RANGE OF USES SUCH AS THE IG ZONING
5:52:47PM DISTRICT.
5:52:47PM THE PROPOSED ZONING -- PROPOSED IG ZONING CAN BE CONSIDERED
5:52:57PM WITHIN THE TRANSITIONAL USE 24 DESIGNATION.
5:53:00PM CONSISTENT WITH THE CONSISTENCY MATRIX IN SECTION 27 OF THE
5:53:03PM LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
5:53:03PM THE TU-24 DESIGNATION ALLOWS FOR WIDE RANGE OF USES WHICH
5:53:08PM HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE A DEVELOPMENT PATTERN THAT DOES
5:53:10PM NOT ADEQUATELY MITIGATE THE INTENSE USES ALLOWED UNDER THE
5:53:14PM DESIGNATION.
5:53:14PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUPPORTS OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDUSTRIAL
5:53:17PM DEVELOPMENT TO SERVE AS EMPLOYMENT GENERATORS FOR THE CITY.
5:53:20PM ADDITIONALLY, THE PLAN EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF
5:53:23PM BUFFERING COMMERCIAL USES FROM RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
5:53:26PM IF APPROVED, ANY FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE MUST COMPLY
5:53:31PM WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE ADDRESSING BUFFERING,
5:53:33PM SCREENING, AND MITIGATION OF TRAFFIC IMPACTS ON ADJACENT
5:53:35PM RESIDENTIAL USES.
5:53:36PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROMOTES A MIXTURE OF USES,
5:53:39PM EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT WHILE
5:53:41PM ENSURING COMPATIBILITY WITH RESIDENTIAL AREAS THROUGH
5:53:43PM CONTEXT SENSITIVE DESIGN AND TRANSITIONS.
5:53:47PM WHILE THE PLAN DISCOURAGES INDUSTRIAL ZONED AREAS NEAR
5:53:50PM RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, THE PROPOSED IG ZONING IS
5:53:53PM CONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THE
5:53:55PM AREA, WHICH INCLUDES PARCELS ZONED FOR IG AND COMMERCIAL
5:53:59PM INTENSIVE TO THE SOUTH.
5:54:00PM THIS REZONING SUPPORTS THE PLAN'S INTENT TO ENSURE THAT
5:54:03PM DEVELOPMENT IS CONTEXT SENSITIVE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE
5:54:07PM ESTABLISHED CHARACTER OF THIS PORTION OF THE CITY.
5:54:09PM BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
5:54:11PM FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA
5:54:13PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
5:54:19PM THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

5:54:54PM THIS IS A VIEW OF THE SURVEY OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
5:54:59PM YOU CAN SEE THE PROPERTY LINE AND THE EXISTING ONE-STORY
5:55:05PM RESIDENCE THAT IS ON-SITE.
5:55:06PM WHILE THE SUBJECT SITE IS FLANKED BY MULTIFAMILY ATTACHED
5:55:14PM UNITS TO THE NORTH AND WEST, THE REQUESTED USE OF INDUSTRIAL
5:55:20PM GENERAL IS APPROPRIATE IN LOCATION.
5:55:23PM PROVIDES AN APPROPRIATE INFILL AND TRANSITION FROM THE
5:55:25PM MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT PATTERN LOCATED ON NORTH 58th
5:55:29PM STREET TO THE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES ALONG BROADWAY
5:55:34PM AND EAST COLUMBUS THAT SURROUND THE AREA.
5:55:36PM SINCE THIS IS A EUCLIDEAN REZONING, THERE IS NO SITE PLAN OR
5:55:42PM ELEVATIONS.

06:40:10PM I SEE NO RESPONSE.
06:40:11PM OKAY.
06:40:12PM FINALLY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I JUST WANT TO REAFFIRM WITH
06:40:16PM YOU THE FACT THAT THE CITY COUNCIL MUST BASE THEIR DECISION
06:40:22PM ON WHAT THE COURTS CALL "COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL
06:40:27PM EVIDENCE."
06:40:28PM AND A PERSON'S OPINION IS NOT COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
06:40:33PM UNLESS THEY ARE AN EXPERT.
06:40:34PM SO IF YOU OFFER YOUR OPINION, THEY CAN NOT -- AND YOU ARE
06:40:42PM NOT AN EXPERT, THE COUNCIL CANNOT RELY THAT ON THE BASIS OF
06:40:48PM THEIR DECISION.
06:40:48PM SO WHEN, IN FACT, I AM SUGGESTING COUNCIL THAT THEY CAN RELY
06:40:52PM ON THE FACTS THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE TO THEM AND CITY COUNCIL
06:40:58PM KNOWS THAT IF THEY WISH TO INQUIRE OF ANYBODY THAT DOES GIVE
06:41:02PM TESTIMONY, COUNCIL CAN DO SO.
06:41:04PM ALSO, I WOULD ALSO POINT OUT THAT PETITIONS THAT JUST STATE
06:41:10PM EITHER FOR OR AGAINST THE COURTS FIND ARE NOT COMPETENT
06:41:15PM SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
06:41:16PM AND FINALLY I WOULD SUGGEST THAT IF YOU DO COME UP HERE, YOU
06:41:20PM DO NOT HAVE TO BE REPETITIVE AND SAY THE SAME THING
06:41:23PM NECESSARILY THAT HAS BEEN SAID.
06:41:25PM YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE YOUR FULL TIME.

06:55:28PM THIS IS THE SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE THAT I MENTIONED JUST
06:55:32PM NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE ON HANNA AVENUE.
06:55:35PM THIS IS A BETTER VIEW OF THAT SINGLE-FAMILY HOME.
06:55:38PM AND NOW WE ARE MOVING TOWARD THE DEAD END OF HANNA AVENUE
06:55:43PM GETTING CLOSER TO THE HILLSBOROUGH RIVER.
06:55:45PM THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE HERE.
06:55:47PM AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A CITY OF TAMPA PUMP STATION.
06:55:51PM AND NOW THIS IS LOOKING AT THE HILLSBOROUGH RIVER AT THE
06:55:54PM DEAD END OF HANNA, AND THE SUBJECT SITE WILL BE HERE.
06:55:58PM BACK ON ROME AVENUE LOOKING DIRECTLY AT THE SUBJECT SITE,
06:56:02PM THIS IS THE ENTRANCE THAT IS CURRENTLY PROVIDED ON THE

07:01:01PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
07:01:03PM SO NORMALLY THIS SLIDE IS A PLACEHOLDER TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE
07:01:10PM BIT OF THE STORY FOR PRESENTATION BECAUSE OF ALL THE
07:01:13PM CONSULTANTS WE HAVE THIS IN ONE.
07:01:15PM WE STARTED THIS --
07:01:16PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PUT THE TIMER ON.
07:01:17PM >> WE STARTED THIS APPLICATION BACK IN 2022.
07:01:20PM AND WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH STAFF SINCE THAT TIME TO MAKE
07:01:23PM SURE THAT WE ANSWER ALL OF THE QUESTIONS THAT HAVE COME UP
07:01:27PM WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT AND WE HAVE BEEN PATIENT COMING TO YOU
07:01:31PM ALL UNTIL WE CAN GET THAT STAFF SUPPORT.
07:01:33PM I AM UNABLE TO CHANGE THE PAGE.
07:01:36PM IF WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
07:01:38PM THE NEXT SLIDE ORIENTS US ON -- OKAY.
07:01:46PM THERE WE GO.
07:01:47PM SO THIS JUST ORIENTS US TO WHERE WE ARE ON THE PROPERTY.
07:01:50PM STAFF DID THAT.
07:01:53PM I WILL GO OVER THE SLIDE.
07:01:54PM FIVE-ACRE SITE ALONG ROME AVENUE.
07:01:56PM FUTURE LAND USE AS PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF TALKED ABOUT,
07:01:59PM UNIQUE FUTURE LAND USE PATTERN WITH AN R-10 AREA AND R-50
07:02:05PM AND R-20 IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA AND WE DESIGNED OUR SITE TO
07:02:09PM MATCH THAT DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AND I WILL GO INTO THAT IN
07:02:12PM DETAIL.
07:02:12PM BRIEF MENTION OF LAND USE HISTORY HERE.
07:02:15PM 20 YEARS AGO, THIS WAS ACTUALLY ALL R-20 AND PUBLICLY
07:02:19PM INITIATED, CITY INITIATED TO CHANGE IT TO R-10.
07:02:23PM REASON I BRING THIS UP, BECAUSE R-10 WAS CHOSEN WITH THE
07:02:28PM SPECIFIC GOAL OF NOT HAVING MORE APARTMENTS DEVELOPED BUT
07:02:30PM STILL HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR TOWN HOMES.
07:02:32PM THAT IS NOTED IN THE STAFF REPORT IN THE BACK UP FOR THAT
07:02:35PM TIME.
07:02:37PM THAT WAS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE PROBABLY WAS IMPORTANT FOR
07:02:41PM WHAT WAS 20 YEARS AGO.
07:02:42PM SITE INCLUDES 24 TOWN HOMES AND THREE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED
07:02:47PM UNITS WITH THE UNITS ALONG THE RIVER.
07:02:49PM MEETS THE IT HE SIGN CRITERIA, PARKING, OPEN SPACE AND
07:02:54PM REQUESTS TWO TREE WAIVERS THAT WE WILL DISCUSS LATER.
07:02:57PM THE TECHNICAL SITE PLAN IS HARD TO READ, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO
07:03:00PM SHOW WHAT IS GOING ON INSIDE THE BUILDINGS WITH THE GARAGES
07:03:04PM AND THE LIKE.
07:03:05PM SO THIS SITE PLAN, THE LANDSCAPE PLAN, MAKES IT EASIER TO
07:03:09PM SEE THE GREEN SPACE.
07:03:10PM THREE FAMILY UNITS WITH TOWN HOME ALONG THE SITE ALONG ROME
07:03:15PM AND HANNA.
07:03:16PM AS STAFF MENTIONED TWO-STORY ALONG ROME AND HANNA AND THEN
07:03:22PM THREE STORY.
07:03:23PM EACH SPOT HAS ITS OWN GREEN SPACE.
07:03:26PM TO PRESERVE THE RIVERFRONT.
07:03:28PM ALONG THE RIVER WHERE THE MOST GREEN SPACE.
07:03:30PM THE SITE HAVING BEEN REDESIGN TO PROTECT THE RIVER AND I
07:03:33PM THINK THAT THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSES AND MOVING THE RETENTION
07:03:36PM WALLS AWAY FROM THE RIVER.
07:03:37PM AT THIS POINT CYNTHIA SPIDEL TO COME UP AND A PLANNER THAT
07:03:44PM WILL TALK OF THE COMPATIBILITY BRIEFLY.
07:03:46PM >> GOOD EVENING, CYNTHIA SPIDEL FOR STEARNS, WEAVER, MILLER
07:03:52PM AT 100 EAST JACKSON STREET IN TAMPA.
07:03:55PM I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
07:03:56PM I AM A AICP CERTIFIED PLANNER WITH 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN
07:04:02PM PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SECTORS.
07:04:03PM STAFF PROVIDED A VERY COMPREHENSIVE STAFF REPORT THAT GOES
07:04:06PM INTO GREAT DETAIL AND COVERS HOW THE PROJECT IS BOTH
07:04:09PM CONSISTENT WITH THE APPLICABLE PROVISIONS IN THE
07:04:11PM COMPREHENSIVE PLANNED AND THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
07:04:14PM REGULATIONS.
07:04:15PM THAT MAKES MY JOB EASY; HOWEVER, WOULD I WOULD LIKE TO HONE
07:04:20PM IN ON A FEW CRITICAL COMPONENTS.
07:04:21PM THIS COMPATIBILITY SLIDE DEMONSTRATES HOW THIS SITE IS
07:04:25PM SURROUNDED BY FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS.
07:04:29PM SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED ALONG THE RIVER WHICH IS CONSISTENT
07:04:32PM WITH THE CONSOL STATED HILLSBOROUGH RIVER MASTER PLAN.
07:04:36PM BUT YET, YOU HAVE HIGHER DENSITIES AS YOU GO WEST.
07:04:40PM THOSE FUTURE LAND USE CLASSIFICATION ARE AROUND THE SITE.
07:04:43PM SO -- WHICH ONE DO I PRESS?
07:04:46PM THIS ONE?
07:04:46PM SO THIS COMPATIBILITY SLIDE ZOOMS IN A LITTLE BIT MORE AND
07:04:51PM PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW HOW THE PD SITE PLAN TAKES THE BUILT IN
07:04:56PM ENVIRONMENT AND THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT INTO CONSIDERING AND
07:04:58PM PROVIDES A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT THAT BALANCES THESE VARIOUS
07:05:03PM APPROVED DENSITIES.
07:05:08PM THIS SLIDE ZOOMS IN EVEN MORE AND HOW THE LAND USE
07:05:12PM CLASSIFICATIONS MEAN ON THE GROUND.
07:05:13PM WE ARE SURROUNDED BY DIVERSE HOUSING, MOBILE HOME TO THE
07:05:17PM NORTH.
07:05:18PM APARTMENTS/MULTIFAMILY TO THE SOUTH.
07:05:21PM AND SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED ALONG THE RIVER.
07:05:23PM STAFF FOUND THE PROPOSED PD CONSISTENT WITH THE COMP PLAN.
07:05:28PM YOU HAVE A VERY DETAILED STAFF REPORT; HOWEVER, JUST TO
07:05:32PM SUMMARIZE THE KEY CONSIDERATIONS, PROPOSED PD SITE PLAN
07:05:36PM FULFILLS AND MEETS THE COMP PLAN POLICIES.
07:05:39PM ENCOURAGES NEW HOUSING AND INFILL DEVELOPMENT.
07:05:42PM CONSISTENT WITH THE HILLSBOROUGH RIVER MASTER PLAN.
07:05:44PM AND PD BALANCES ALL OF THE POLICIES THROUGH THE CONTEXT
07:05:48PM SENSITIVITY.
07:05:48PM WHAT DOES CONTEXT SENSITIVITY MEAN?
07:05:51PM TOWN HOUSES TOWARD THE ROAD, SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED TOWARD
07:05:54PM THE RIVER.
07:05:54PM MY PLANNING OPINION IS THAT THE PD SITE PLAN AS PROPOSED A
07:06:01PM APPLICABLE TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE LAND
07:06:03PM DEVELOPMENT CODE REGULATIONS AND THROUGH THE PD PROCESS IS
07:06:06PM COMPATIBLE TO THE SURROUNDING AREA.
07:06:07PM THANK YOU, AND I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
07:06:10PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
07:06:10PM >> MOVING ON TO TRANSPORTATION.
07:06:18PM WHILE WE HAVE BEEN AT THIS FOR TWO YEARS, WE HAVE NOT BEEN
07:06:21PM HAVING TO GO BACK AND FORTH WITH TRANSPORTATION DURING THAT
07:06:24PM TIME.
07:06:24PM ABLE TO WORK OUT THE DETAILS ITSELF WITH TRANSPORTATION
07:06:27PM EARLY AND AS FAR AS THE TRANSPORTATION STUDY, WE HAVE NOT
07:06:30PM HAD TO EDIT THAT IN THE TIME OF THIS PROCESS.
07:06:33PM IT IS BECAUSE THIS IS A MINIMAL IMPACT.
07:06:35PM 18 MORNING PEAK-HOUR TRIPS.
07:06:38PM ABOUT 25 AFTERNOON PEAK-HOUR TRIPS.
07:06:42PM THE PROJECT WILL CONSUME LESS THAN 3% OF THE CAPACITY OF
07:06:45PM ROME AND STUDY SHOWS THAT INTERSECTIONS AND THE CAPACITY OF
07:06:49PM THE ROADWAY OPERATE AT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF SERVICE.
07:06:52PM I WANTED TO VISUALIZE THAT FOR YOU HERE.
07:06:54PM WE HAD OUR CONSULTANT CONFIRM THE CAPACITY NUMBERS WITH
07:06:58PM ROME.
07:06:58PM WHAT THE BAR NUMBERS SHOW THE BACK-UP TRAFFIC ON ROME AND
07:07:02PM WILL EXIST WHEN THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED.
07:07:04PM THE RED THERE IS THE PROJECT TRAFFIC.
07:07:06PM THAT IS THE LESS THAN 3% CHANGE THERE.
07:07:09PM MOST IMPORTANTLY IS THE GREEN.
07:07:11PM THE AVAILABLE CAPACITY IN ROME.
07:07:13PM REASON WE HAVEN'T HAD TRANSPORTATION ISSUES WITH STAFF.
07:07:17PM THERE IS PLENTY OF CAPACITY THERE AND THE PROJECT DOES NOT
07:07:20PM GENERATE THAT MUCH TRAFFIC.
07:07:21PM 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
07:07:33PM RESOURCES.
07:07:34PM THE SITE PLAN HAS BEEN DESIGNED WITH A LOT OF GREEN SPACE.
07:07:37PM AS IT I MENTIONED EARLIER EACH LOT HAS ITS OWN GREEN SPACE
07:07:41PM AND THE SITE HAS ITS OWN GREEN SPACE.
07:07:45PM MEETING IT 100%.
07:07:48PM AND NO TREE MITIGATION WAIVER.
07:07:51PM DOZENS OF MITIGATION TO THE SITE PLAN IN THE SITE PLAN.
07:07:55PM AND ALL THE TREE PLANTINGS THAT ARE REQUIRED.
07:07:58PM WE ARE ABLE TO WORK WITH STAFF AND GET A CONSISTENT RECEIVE
07:08:02PM RECOMMENDATION FROM STAFF.
07:08:03PM WE HAVE TWO WAIVERS.
07:08:04PM THE FIRST OF THE WAIVER TO REMOVE ONE NONHAZARDOUS GRAND
07:08:08PM TREE.
07:08:09PM I WANT TO EXPLAIN WHAT IS SHOWING ON IS THIS SITE, BECAUSE
07:08:11PM THERE ARE SEVEN TREES SHOWN HERE.
07:08:13PM AND THEN ONLY FOUR ARE NUMBERED.
07:08:15PM I WANT TO BE CLEAR ON WHAT EACH SHOWS.
07:08:17PM FIVE OF THE SIX NONHAZARDOUS GRAND TREES ARE BEING
07:08:20PM PRESERVED.
07:08:21PM ANYTHING IN GREEN WITH THE EXCEPTION OF NUMBER 4.
07:08:23PM NUMBER 4 IS A LIVE OAK THAT WAS DAMAGED DURING MILTON BUT
07:08:27PM HAZARDOUS BUT NOT DANGEROUS.
07:08:29PM AND SO WE ALWAYS INTENDED TO KEEP THAT TREE.
07:08:31PM AND SO WE ARE ABLE TO KEEP IT.
07:08:33PM THE ONE THROUGH FOUR ARE THE FOUR GRAND TREES THAT WE
07:08:37PM REDESIGNED TO KEEP.
07:08:38PM AND THEN IN THE MIDDLE THERE, THAT ONE TREE THERE, THAT IS
07:08:42PM THE GRAND TREE WE ARE REQUESTING A WAIVER TO REMOVE.
07:08:47PM THE REASON FOR THAT WE DON'T HAVE A REASONABLE ENGINEERING
07:08:50PM SOLUTION TO SAVE THE TREE.
07:08:51PM THE SITE REQUIRES GRADE AND FILL TO CONTROL THE STORMWATER.
07:08:55PM AND THAT GRADING AND FILL WILL ISOLATE THAT TREE AND YOU
07:08:58PM WOULD HAVE TO HAVE AGREE WALL WITH WALLS ON FOUR SIDES.
07:09:01PM WORKING WITH STAFF AND OUR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT AND OUR
07:09:05PM ARBORIST.
07:09:06PM NOTHING THAT WOULD SAVE THAT TREE WITH THAT DESIGN.
07:09:09PM IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE BEEN
07:09:11PM TALKING ABOUT WITH THIS APPLICATION BEFORE COMING BEFORE
07:09:15PM YOU, THAT DOESN'T CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY IF YOU CHANGE THIS TO
07:09:17PM A SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT.
07:09:18PM YOU STILL NEED A ROAD.
07:09:20PM STILL HAVE TO CONTROL THE STORMWATER.
07:09:22PM YOU STILL VIDEO TO GRADE AND FILL THE SITE.
07:09:25PM THAT TREE, NOT A REASONABLE SOLUTION TO DEVELOP THE SITE
07:09:28PM WITH THE TREE.
07:09:28PM SO THAT'S WHY WE ASKED THAT.
07:09:33PM THE SECOND WAIVER IS RETENTION.
07:09:35PM AND FOR A LOT OF SAME REASONS WE ARE ASKING A WAIVER HERE
07:09:38PM BECAUSE OF THE GRADING AND FILL ESSENTIAL TO THE SITE.
07:09:41PM THE -- THE SAVINGS ARE REALLY NOTICEABLE ON THE EDGES AND
07:09:47PM ABLE TO CONTROL THE RATING NOT TO AFFECT THE TREES.
07:09:52PM YOU CAN SEE ALL THE TREES THAT ARE SAVED AND THE TWO POCKETS
07:09:57PM ARE THE AREA WITH THE MOST PRESERVATION TREE.
07:10:01PM WE STARTED AT 12% RETENTION AND WE MORE THAN DOUBLED THAT.
07:10:04PM AND ABLE TO INCREASE THAT TO 25% AND THAT IS WHAT WE ASKED.
07:10:10PM NOW WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE HERE IF YOU LOOK AT THE AERIAL
07:10:15PM EVEN MORE TREES THAT ARE NOT SHOWN HERE.
07:10:17PM BECAUSE THE SITE IS LEFT UNKEPT FOR MANY YEARS.
07:10:22PM SOME OF THOSE TREES ARE VERY GOOD PRESERVATION TREES.
07:10:25PM SOME OF THOSE TREES ARE NOT HEALTHY AND MANY ARE INVASIVE
07:10:30PM SPECIES.
07:10:30PM IT IS HARD TO LOOK AT THE AERIAL TO GET AN IDEA WHAT THIS
07:10:34PM IS.
07:10:35PM THIS IS WHY WE USED THIS PICTURE HERE.
07:10:37PM NEXT WE WILL TALK OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FOR A MOMENT.
07:10:39PM AS STATED IN 2022, WE GOT TO OUR FIRST DRC MEETING.
07:10:44PM HAD A MEETING IN JUNE OF '23.
07:10:49PM MET WITH THE RIVER BEND ASSOCIATION.
07:10:51PM HAD WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE.
07:10:52PM MET WITH THE BOARD.
07:10:54PM AND THEN STAFF MENTIONED EPC APPROVAL TO IMPACT THE LOWER
07:10:57PM QUALITY WETLAND INTERNAL TO THE SITE WHEN THAT APPEAL
07:11:03PM HAPPENED, IT IS A BASICALLY LITIGATION AND WENT BEFORE A
07:11:07PM HEARING OFFICER AND ACTING AS A EPC.
07:11:10PM THE APPEAL WAS NOT ACCEPTED SO THE INITIAL APPROVAL WAS
07:11:15PM ACCEPTED WITHOUT ANY CHANGES, BUT, UNFORTUNATELY, THAT
07:11:18PM APPEAL NECESSARILY BROKE OFF A LOT OF THE COMMUNICATION WE
07:11:21PM HAD WITH THE NEIGHBORS.
07:11:22PM SO NOW AS I WRAP THIS UP HERE, I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT
07:11:27PM MORE ABOUT THAT JOURNEY THAT IS NOW IN ITS FOURTH CALENDAR
07:11:32PM -- YEAH, FOURTH CALENDAR YEAR.
07:11:34PM WE TOOK THAT TIME, BECAUSE WE WANTED TO ADDRESS EVERY SINGLE
07:11:40PM CONCERN THAT STAFF HAD.
07:11:41PM WE HIRED MORE EXPERTS THAN I EVER USED ON A ZONING
07:11:45PM APPLICATION.
07:11:45PM WE BEEN TO DRC THREE TIMES.
07:11:47PM WE DID SITE VISITS WITH STAFF.
07:11:49PM EXTRA CONSULTANTS DID STUDY THAT COVERED FILL, FLOODING AND
07:11:54PM FLOOD PLAIN.
07:11:54PM WE IDENTIFIED WHERE WE CAN FILL.
07:11:56PM WHERE IT IS APPROPRIATE.
07:11:58PM TO WHAT AMOUNT.
07:12:00PM THE TREE REPORTS ON THE GRAND OAKS -- OR GRAND TREES
07:12:04PM ALREADY.
07:12:04PM WE KNOW IF WE BUILD WHERE WE SAY WE ARE GOING TO BUILD, WE
07:12:07PM CAN PRUNE THOSE TREES AND IT WILL BE ACCEPTABLE AND DID THE
07:12:11PM WETLAND IMPACT AND WETLAND MITIGATION APPROVALS BEFORE
07:12:14PM ZONING.
07:12:15PM ALL THAT EXTRA EFFORT WAS TO WORK WITH STAFF TO COME BEFORE
07:12:19PM YOU WITH AN APPLICATION THAT THEY CAN SUPPORT AND ALL
07:12:24PM PERMITTING ISSUES THAT TOOK SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME AND
07:12:28PM EFFORT TO ACHIEVE.
07:12:29PM SO AS I WRAP UP HERE, WE ARE HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH
07:12:34PM STAFF SO CLOSELY AND APPRECIATE THE EFFORT AND SIGNIFICANT
07:12:40PM EFFORT FROM STAFF.
07:12:41PM THEY FOUND US CONSISTENT AS WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

07:13:00PM I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT.

07:15:53PM MR. COMPTON IS HERE.
07:15:55PM BUT YOUR NAME IS THE EIGHTH NAME AND TEN MINUTE IS THE
07:16:02PM MAXIMUM.
07:16:02PM 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
07:16:10PM WE WILL START THE CLOCK.
07:16:11PM >> THANK YOU, MY NAME IS HENRY KRAMER.
07:16:14PM FOLKS CALL ME HANK.
07:16:15PM 5933 NORTH ROME AVENUE WHICH IS JUST SOUTH OF THE PROJECT
07:16:19PM DOWN SOUTH OF THE APARTMENTS THAT WERE REFERENCED.
07:16:26PM I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE RIVER BEND NEIGHBORHOOD
07:16:31PM ASSOCIATION AND LICENSED INSURANCE AGENT.
07:16:32PM I SPECIALIZE IN COMMERCIAL LINES OF COVERAGE.
07:16:35PM I WORKED IN THE COMMERCIAL LINES OF BUSINESS FOR 40 YEARS,
07:16:37PM AND I SPENT THE FIRST 15 YEARS AT THE AETNA LIFE AND
07:16:41PM CASUALTY IN UNDERWRITING.
07:16:42PM SAFETY IS MY BIG CONCERN.
07:16:44PM RISK MANAGEMENT IS WHAT I DO FOR MY CLIENTS.
07:16:47PM WE IDENTIFY RISKS.
07:16:48PM WE HELP CONTROL RISKS AND WE MITIGATE RISKS.
07:16:52PM THE LARGEST SEGMENT IN MY BOOK OF BUSINESS IS CONDOMINIUM
07:16:56PM ASSOCIATIONS AND HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS.
07:16:58PM WORKED WITH MANY DEVELOPERS IN THE PAST: LENA, ATLANTIC
07:17:02PM GULF, STANDARD HOMES -- STANDARD PACIFIC, ROTLAND AND
07:17:06PM WESTFIELD AMONG OTHERS.
07:17:07PM I WORKED WITH THEM FOR LAND ACQUISITIONS, CONSTRUCTION, TO
07:17:11PM TURNOVER.
07:17:11PM SO MY APPROACH TO LOOKING AT THIS PROJECT IS FROM AN
07:17:16PM UNDERWRITER'S PERSPECTIVE.
07:17:17PM THE FILLING AND DESTRUCTION OF THE WETLANDS FROM WEST TO
07:17:21PM EAST IS VERY PROBLEMATIC AND WILL BE PROBLEMATIC FOR MOST OF
07:17:24PM THE RESIDENTS AND EVEN THE RESIDENTS THAT MIGHT COME ON THE
07:17:27PM PROPERTY -- THAT MIGHT LIVE ON THE PROPERTY.
07:17:29PM THE WETLAND WAS ORIGINALLY IDENTIFIED AS A BLOWOUT DITCH OR
07:17:37PM A STORMWATER CITY OF TAMPA VENUE THAT WAS NOT MAINTAINED.
07:17:40PM IT TURNED OUT NOT TO BE THE CASE.
07:17:42PM DR. BOB FROM STORMWATER MANAGEMENT DETERMINED THAT
07:17:46PM STORMWATER -- THERE WAS NO STORMWATER FLOW THERE SINCE THE
07:17:49PM '60s.
07:17:49PM ALL MOVED TO HANNA AVENUE.
07:17:51PM SO WHAT YOU HAVE LEFT IS A WETLAND.
07:17:54PM BUT NO ONE KNOWS THE SOURCE OF THE WETLAND, A SPRING, AN
07:18:00PM ARTESIAN SPRING -- ARTESIAN WELL OR WHAT.
07:18:04PM HAVING LOOKED AT THE SITE PLAN FROM DR. BOB, WE DECIDED TO
07:18:08PM LOOK FURTHER BACK IN THE COMMUNITY, UP INTO THE WATER SHED.
07:18:11PM AND THESE PHOTOS THAT I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU ARE -- SHOW THE
07:18:15PM RELEVANT CREEK ACTIVITIES, POND ACTIVITIES AND THE WETLANDS.
07:18:18PM YOU WILL SEE THAT WE HAVE A WET LAND RIGHT MERE THAT IS ON
07:18:24PM THE OTHER SIDE OF ARMENIA AVENUE.
07:18:27PM SUBJECT PROPERTY IS DOWN RIGHT WHERE YOU THINK IT IS, RIGHT.
07:18:30PM SO WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THERE ARE LAKES ALL AROUND HERE AND
07:18:34PM THIS SHOW AS LITTLE BETTER.
07:18:36PM THIS SHEET WILL GIVE YOU A BETTER IDEA OF THE WETLAND AS YOU
07:18:44PM SEE IT.
07:18:44PM THE POND AND THE LAKES ALL IN THIS AREA BACK TO EGYPT LAKE
07:18:48PM UP SAT SLIGH ALL DRAIN IN THIS WETLAND AREA.
07:18:53PM ALL COME DOWN FROM THE RIVER.
07:18:55PM EVERYTHING FLOWS FROM THE WEST TO THE EAST DOWN TO THE
07:18:57PM RIVER.
07:18:57PM THIS IS THAT BIG WETLAND, AND HERE YOU WILL FIND CAPON'S
07:19:04PM CREEK THAT COMES EXACTLY INTO THE PROPERTY AT 6111.
07:19:09PM THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE WETLAND SOURCE IS.
07:19:14PM THE -- ACROSS IS ROME -- THE POND CROSSES ROME.
07:19:19PM THIS HAS ALL BEEN BUILT BON AND THE CREEK REMAINS AND FLOW
07:19:24PM ON THE CREEK COMING ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE WETLAND AND THE
07:19:28PM FLOW ON THE PROPERTY.
07:19:29PM ONE OF THE PROPERTIES THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE HERE IS
07:19:33PM THAT THEY CITE THE WETLAND.
07:19:35PM PROBLEMS WITH THE DELINEATION OF THE WETLAND.
07:19:38PM WE TRY TO ARGUE THAT AT THE APPEAL BUT YOU CAN ONLY TALK OF
07:19:44PM THE WETLAND VERY LIMITED AFTER SOMETHING HAS ALREADY BEEN
07:19:48PM AUTHORIZED.
07:19:48PM WE ARE SHOWING THAT THE WETLAND ARRIVES ON THE PROPERTY
07:19:51PM HERE.
07:19:51PM THEY ARE SHOWING IT WAY BACK HERE IF YOU START DIGGING OUT
07:19:56PM THIS PROPERTY, YOU FIND YOU GOT BIG ISSUES BECAUSE YOU ARE
07:19:59PM NOT GOING TO BE ABLE -- WELL, YOU WILL JUST FIND THAT YOU
07:20:02PM HAVE BIG ISSUE.
07:20:03PM JUST BECAUSE THE WETLAND COULD BE FILLED DOESN'T MEAN IT
07:20:07PM SHOULD.
07:20:07PM SO WE HIGHLY OBJECT TO THE WETLAND BEING FILLED.
07:20:12PM WE OBJECT TO THE FILL BEING BROUGHT ON TO THE PROPERTY.
07:20:16PM THE CITY OF TAMPA HAS ITS OWN OBLIGATION ON ANY WETLAND THAT
07:20:23PM IS -- THAT IS HYDROLOGICALLY CONNECTED TO THE RIVER TO SAVE
07:20:27PM IT AND PROTECT IF IT FROM DAMAGE.
07:20:29PM IT IS ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT WATER ALWAYS WINS.
07:20:33PM THAT WATER IS GOING TO GET IN HERE.
07:20:35PM AND IT IS GOING TO GO SOMEWHERE.
07:20:37PM IT GOES WHERE IT WANTS TO GO.
07:20:38PM AND WE KNOW THAT IS TO BE THE CASE.
07:20:42PM THAT IT IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM IN THE AREA BECAUSE COMING
07:20:45PM BACK TO THIS SHOT I WANT TO JUST SHOW YOU AGAIN, YOU SEE
07:20:51PM THAT ORANGE SMUDGE ON THERE JUST OUTSIDE THE CIRCLED AREA,
07:20:55PM THAT IS THE TAMPA POLICE ATHLETIC LEAVE.
07:20:58PM THAT WAS BUILT IN 2011.
07:21:00PM THAT WAS SOUGHT TO BE ON HIGH GROUND AND WASN'T SUPPOSED TO
07:21:04PM A PROBLEM FOR ANYBODY.
07:21:05PM A BEAUTIFUL SITE.
07:21:07PM THE KIDS LOVE IT THERE.
07:21:10PM WITHIN 24 MONTHS OF CONSTRUCTION, THE SEAT THAT COMES DOWN
07:21:13PM THAT AREA CIRCLED THAT BUILDING AND AUGUST, LESS THAN 24
07:21:17PM HOSPITALS AFTER -- 24 MONTHS AFTER THE BUILDING WAS BUILT
07:21:22PM THE WATERS FLOODED DOWN TO NORTH STREET WHICH IS THE STREET
07:21:26PM IMMEDIATELY SOUTH.
07:21:26PM HERE IS THE BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS OF -- OF THE P.A.L.
07:21:33PM A NICE FACILITY 1924 DIANA.
07:21:36PM BUT THIS IS WHAT IS SOUTH OF DIANA NOW.
07:21:39PM THIS IS NORTH STREET.
07:21:40PM THIS IS WHERE THE BUILDINGS WERE DESTROYED FROM THAT FLOOD,
07:21:45PM FROM THAT WET FLOW.
07:21:46PM AND WE ARE LEFT WITH A MESS.
07:21:51PM FOUR BUILDINGS DESTROYED.
07:21:52PM THE CITY OF TAMPA HAD TO COMPENSATE FOR THOSE UNIT OWNERS.
07:21:59PM YOU SEE PART OF THE DRAINS BUILT HERE.
07:22:05PM THEY WERE BUILT ALL AROUND THE BUILDING AND PETITION THOUGHT
07:22:08PM THE WETLAND IN AND PUT TRAINS AROUND THE P.A.L. CENTER.
07:22:13PM NICE DRAINS IN THE GROUND, BUT WERE THEY EFFECTIVE?
07:22:17PM WELL, MILTON CAME AND DEPENDING ON WHO YOU ASK AT THE P.A.L.
07:22:21PM TWO TO FOUR TO EIGHT INCHES OF WATER THAT CAME INTO THE
07:22:25PM BUILDING.
07:22:26PM THAT IS ANOTHER PROBLEM, AND THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU
07:22:32PM STOP A WETLAND OR A CREEK.
07:22:33PM WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE ON NORTH STREET?
07:22:37PM NORTH STREET RIGHT NOW.
07:22:38PM THE NEXT BLACK DOWN.
07:22:40PM RAIN CONTINUES TO -- OR STORM RUN-OFF CONTINUES TO HAMMER
07:22:44PM THAT AND THAT IS NOT EVEN MILTON.
07:22:45PM THAT IS THE 8/26 -- AUGUST 26 STORM THAT JUST INUNDATED THE
07:22:52PM AREA AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THE OTHER HOMES BETWEEN 6111
07:23:00PM AND P.A.L. SUFFERED PROBLEMS.
07:23:02PM AGAIN, THIS IS THE 8/26 STORM.
07:23:06PM NOT MILTON.
07:23:07PM THIS IS JUST HAPPENING ALL THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD
07:23:09PM BECAUSE THE WETLAND HAS BEEN DAMAGED UPSTREAM.
07:23:14PM NOW THE BIGGEST PROBLEM MIGHT BE THIS IS 6404 ROME RIGHT
07:23:25PM ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND BUILT RIGHT
07:23:29PM NEXT TO THE CREEK.
07:23:29PM AND YOU CAN SEE THE DRAINS HERE THAT AREN'T FUNCTIONING
07:23:32PM PROPERLY.
07:23:33PM THIS GUY -- I DON'T KNOW IF JOHN IS HERE TODAY, BUT RAIN
07:23:36PM COMES INTO THIS HOUSE.
07:23:36PM THIS WAS BUILT IN 2023.
07:23:38PM IT WAS BUILT ON FILL PER THE CITY'S REQUIREMENTS.
07:23:41PM WE HAVE GOT TO ELIMINATE THE FILL GOING ON TO THIS PROPERTY
07:23:50PM BECAUSE WHEN THAT WATER CONTINUES ON TO THAT PROPERTY, WE
07:23:53PM WILL TURN THAT INTO PEA SOUP.
07:23:54PM THESE BUILDINGS SHOULD BE BUILT ON POST AND BEAMS.
07:23:56PM THERE IS NO REASON TO BE BRINGING FILL INTO THIS PROPERTY.
07:23:59PM AND BY THE WAY, THAT WETLAND SHOULD BE SAVED SO IT CAN BE A
07:24:04PM FEATURE OF THAT PROPERTY.
07:24:05PM WETLAND ARE BEING RESTORED ON THE TAMPA -- ON HILLSBOROUGH
07:24:13PM RIVER AT TOWER PARK AT ROWLETT PARK AND AT ROME PARK.
07:24:17PM THOSE ARE BEING -- THAT WORK IS BEING DONE BY NATURE BASED
07:24:24PM SOLUTIONS AND NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS CONTRACTED BY THE CITY
07:24:29PM OF TAMPA TO DO THAT WORK.
07:24:29PM WE ARE RESTORING WETLAND UP AND DOWN THE RIVER AND THEN WANT
07:24:33PM TO DESTROY THE WETLAND VERY PROBLEMATIC TO THE DRAINAGE OF
07:24:40PM AT AREA IF THAT GETS CUT OFF.
07:24:42PM THIS TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF FILL CREATES JUST -- JUST A REAL
07:24:46PM PROBLEM.
07:24:46PM IF WE ARE BACK ON THE PROPERTY THINKING OF THE PROPERTY, WE
07:24:48PM HAVE GOT TREES THAT THEY WANT TO ELIMINATE FROM THE PROPERTY
07:24:52PM THAT IS TAKING TOO MANY TREES OUT.
07:24:54PM THEY HAD IT AT 87%.
07:24:55PM NOW THEY WANT 75%.
07:24:57PM WELL, THAT IS GREAT, BUT HOW DO THEY GET TO 200% OR 100% OF
07:25:02PM THE GREEN SPACE?
07:25:03PM THEY DIDN'T TAKE ANY UNITS OUT.
07:25:05PM WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IS ELIMINATED THE POND'S SQUARE FOOTAGE
07:25:13PM ON THE PROPERTY.
07:25:13PM WHEN THIS WAS FIRST BROUGHT OUT IN 2022, '23.
07:25:17PM 23 FEET OF POND.
07:25:19PM NOW LESS THAN 8,000 SQUARE FEET OF SPACE.
07:25:21PM I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS ENOUGH.
07:25:23PM DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF THAT IS ENOUGH TO HANDLE THIS FLOW THAT
07:25:26PM WILL COME FROM THE INTENSIVE STORMS, VOLATILE, VICIOUS AND
07:25:30PM BIGGER STORMS THAT WE ARE GETTING.
07:25:31PM I WANT TO TALK ABOUT -- QUICKLY THE COASTAL REPORTS THAT
07:25:36PM CAME OUT.
07:25:36PM HIT ACELA AND PRODUCED IN JULY.
07:25:39PM NICELY DONE.
07:25:40PM GOOD STATISTICS.
07:25:41PM A GOOD THEORETICAL BACKGROUND, AND THEY STATE THAT THE RIVER
07:25:45PM AT THAT POINT IS TIDAL.
07:25:47PM THAT'S CORRECT.
07:25:48PM THERE IS NO FLOOD THAT WILL COME FROM THE RIVER.
07:25:50PM WE ALL KNEW THAT.
07:25:51PM TURNS RIVERINE, HOWEVER, WHEN THE DAM IS OPERATED TO RELEASE
07:25:57PM THE WATER TO THE RIVER.
07:25:58PM THAT IS WHEN YOU GET A PROBLEM.
07:25:59PM RIGHT NOW IT IS MAINTAINED AT A CERTAIN LEVEL, BUT WITH
07:26:02PM INCREASED STORMS, IF WE GET A BIG STORM AND THAT THING HAS
07:26:05PM GOT TO START RELEASING MORE, WE GOT A PROBLEM.
07:26:08PM OR WORSE IF THE DAM FAILS.
07:26:12PM AND THEN THE FILL THEY ARE USING THAT IS UNCOVERED IS GOING
07:26:15PM TO COME AND BE EXPOSED AND THE RUNOFF.
07:26:18PM 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
07:26:27PM THAT POINT.
07:26:28PM YOU ARE PUTTING LEAVES AT RISK.
07:26:29PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:26:30PM YOUR TIME IT UP.
07:26:31PM >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:26:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
07:26:33PM OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS PAUL BAY.
07:26:37PM PUT IT UP THERE -- IF YOU HAVE A NUMBER, PLEASE PUT IT ON
07:26:46PM THE BASKET --
07:26:48PM >> WHEN YOU COME UP, IF YOU CAN JUST PUT IT IN HERE.
07:26:51PM THANK YOU.
07:26:51PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MR. BAY, DO YOU HAVE A SPEAKER WAIVER
07:26:54PM FORM?
07:26:57PM NO?
07:26:57PM YOU ARE GOOD.
07:26:58PM YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
07:26:59PM STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND YOU MAY BEGIN.
07:27:02PM >> THANK YOU.
07:27:03PM PAUL BAY.
07:27:05PM I AM DIRECTLY ACROSS THE RIVER FROM WHERE IT HAS BEEN SHOWN.
07:27:09PM THE ROME AVENUE PROJECT NEEDS TO BE GUTTED AND CUT BACK TO
07:27:15PM SAVE THE INTEGRITY OF THIS COMMUNITY.
07:27:17PM SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ONLY, PLEASE.
07:27:21PM THE BUILDER CAN PUT THE APARTMENT BUILDINGS IN OTHER AREAS
07:27:27PM LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, AND SOMEWHERE NEAR DOWNTOWN WHERE THE
07:27:31PM JOBS ARE NEEDED AND AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED SUCH
07:27:36PM APARTMENTS IN THE TAMPA AREA.
07:27:40PM THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HEAR OUR CONCERNS.
07:27:42PM WE HAVE TALKED TO AT LEAST 80 RESIDENTS IN THE AREA.
07:27:48PM SEE THE PETITION LIST THAT YOU SAID DOESN'T COUNT.
07:27:53PM AND EVERY ONE OF THEM ARE VIGOROUSLY OPPOSED TO THIS PLANNED
07:27:59PM APARTMENT COMMUNITY AS IS.
07:28:01PM IT MUST BE AMENDED FOR SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ONLY.
07:28:03PM THEY DID NOT MENTION THE DOCKS THEY ARE GOING TO BUILD.
07:28:11PM AND THEY DID NOT MENTION THE FACT THAT THEY USE COMPACT CARS
07:28:17PM IN THEIR STUDY.
07:28:19PM NOT VEHICLES FOR THE GARAGES BUT COMPACT.
07:28:22PM MOST PEOPLE IN THERE WILL HAVE PICKUP TRUCK AND SUVs, NOT
07:28:27PM JUST COMPACT CARS AND PARKED TANDEMLY, WHICH IS THIS WAY.
07:28:32PM TO MOVE A VEHICLE, BOTH PEOPLE HAVE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE IN A
07:28:35PM TANDEM SITUATION.
07:28:36PM AND THE GARAGES THEY SHOWED YOU.
07:28:39PM THIS IS THE ACCENT.
07:28:42PM SO WITH OUR DOCKS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER AND THEIR
07:28:53PM PLANNED DOCKS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER 20 FEET OF
07:28:55PM RIVER ON LOW TIDE BETWEEN OUR DOCK AND THEIR DOCK.
07:28:59PM AGAIN, WE ARE ACROSS THE RIVER AT LOW TIDE THERE WILL BE NO
07:29:09PM PLACE TO GO.
07:29:09PM THERE HAVE BEEN ACCIDENTS.
07:29:11PM AND WE WILL SHOW YOU PHOTOS OF ACCIDENTS IN THE PAST.
07:29:14PM THERE IS NO -- THERE IS TOTALLY NO SERVICE SPACE FOR PARKING
07:29:18PM OF 100-PLUS VEHICLES YOU GOT TO REMEMBER THAT 100-PLUS
07:29:24PM VEHICLES AND FOUR ACRES PLUS 40 SOMETHING HOUSES.
07:29:30PM THIS ROOM MAY BE TWO HOUSE BUS HARD TO COMPARE SIZES.
07:29:35PM THE 900 TRUCKLOADS OF FILL DIRT AND ONLY THREE RETENTION
07:29:45PM PONDS.
07:29:45PM WHERE WILL ALL THIS DRAINAGE GO FROM ALL THE CONCRETE.
07:29:50PM SO THAT IS MY PART.
07:29:54PM I HOPE YOU CONSIDER REJECTING IN COMMUNITY IN THIS LOCATION.
07:30:02PM PUT IT IN ANOTHER LOCATION.
07:30:04PM THANK YOU.
07:30:05PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
07:30:07PM NEXT SPEAKER IS YANI LEGOS.
07:30:12PM HELLO, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
07:30:19PM >> YANI LEGOS.
07:30:21PM THANK YOU CITY COUNCIL FOR LETTING ME SPEAK TODAY.
07:30:24PM I AM AN ATTORNEY.
07:30:25PM I AM THE OWNER OF FLORIDA SPARTANS LLC THAT OWNS THE HOUSE ON
07:30:32PM 52 ALICIA AVENUE, SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE DIRECTLY NORTH OF THE
07:30:35PM PROPERTY.
07:30:35PM I LIVE ONE MILE AWAY FROM THE HOUSE.
07:30:37PM WHAT I SPEND MOST OF MY TIME DOING CREATING DISEASE
07:30:41PM RESISTANT ORANGE TREES.
07:30:42PM SO REALLY FOCUSED ON BRINGING TREES BACK TO FLORIDA.
07:30:45PM JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I WANT TO SAY IS.
07:30:50PM NOT ANTI-DEVELOPMENT, BUT I AM CONCERNED OF THE WATER FALL
07:30:55PM ON THIS PROPERTY SPECIFICALLY CAUSING DAMAGE OF 1522 ALICIA
07:30:59PM AVENUE.
07:31:00PM DURING HURRICANE HELENE, THE WATER LEVEL DID RISE UP TO THE
07:31:03PM HOUSE.
07:31:03PM IF IT WERE TO GONE ONE MORE FOOT UP, IT WOULD HAVE TOTALLY
07:31:08PM FLOODED THE HOUSE.
07:31:09PM THIS IS AN AREA OF FLOOD CONCERN AND ALSO DID NOT FLOOD
07:31:13PM DURING HURRICANE MILTON, BUT TO POINT OUT WHAT I HEARD TODAY
07:31:18PM A WETLAND ON THE PROPERTY THAT IS DIRECTLY SOUTH OF 1522
07:31:23PM ALICIA AVENUE WHICH IS MY PROPERTY.
07:31:24PM .2 ACRES THAT THE WETLAND WILL BE REMOVED, FILLED IN.
07:31:30PM A COUPLE OF THIS I THINK SO THAT WERE SAID, THERE WILL BE AN
07:31:33PM EXCEPTION FOR BUILDING SIX IN ORDER FOR BUILD ON TOP OF A
07:31:36PM WETLAND.
07:31:37PM THERE WAS AN EXCEPTION FOR ONE OF THE GOOD TREES, AND I ALSO
07:31:42PM HEARD ONLY TWO OAKS AND ONE OTHER OAK WOULD BE SAVED ON THE
07:31:46PM PROPERTY I HEARD THERE WOULD BE A WAIVER FOR RETENTION AND
07:31:50PM SOUND LIKE A LOT OF EXCEPTIONS AND WAIVERS GOING ON SPECIFIC
07:31:55PM TO THE WETLAND WHICH IS THE PRIMARY CONCERN THAT WE HAVE AT
07:32:01PM 1522 ALICIA AVENUE.
07:32:03PM THOSE ARE THE THINGS I HEARD TODAY AND I WANT TO SAY THAT
07:32:08PM THE CITY COUNCIL IS LOOKING AT THAT AND THE PLANNING
07:32:10PM COMMISSION.
07:32:10PM WE KNOW WITH HURRICANE HELENE AND MILTON, THAT FLOODING IS A
07:32:14PM PRIMARY CONCERN.
07:32:15PM AND SEEMS LIKE A LOT JUST FROM THE WORD THAT WERE SAID TODAY
07:32:19PM A LOT OF EXCEPTIONS AND WAIVERS REGARDING THE WETLAND.
07:32:22PM THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
07:32:23PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
07:32:25PM SANDY SANCHEZ IS OUR NEXT SPEAKER.
07:32:27PM 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
07:32:57PM NAME.
07:32:57PM JANICE KATZ.
07:33:00PM THANK YOU.
07:33:01PM ADRIENNE LARAMIE.
07:33:04PM THANK YOU.
07:33:04PM THOMAS SPALDING AND NETTIE ASTIDO.
07:33:11PM ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR FOR A TOTAL OF SEVEN MINUTES.
07:33:14PM >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.
07:33:16PM MY NAME IS SANDRA DIEGO SANCHEZ.
07:33:20PM AT THE BEGINNING OF LAST SUMMER, A FEW NEIGHBORHOOD
07:33:23PM ACTIVISTS WERE INVITED TO THE RIVER BEND COMMUNITY MEETING
07:33:26PM WITH THE DEVELOPERS.
07:33:27PM IT IS BECAUSE OF THESE MEETINGS AND OTHER MEETINGS WITH THE
07:33:29PM COMMUNITY THAT I'M HERE.
07:33:31PM WHAT YOU WILL HEAR TONIGHT FROM THE COMMUNITY AS THIS
07:33:36PM DEVELOPER WAS NOT INTERESTED IN COMPROMISING IN ANY WAY WITH
07:33:41PM IN COMMUNITY NOR DID THEY HAVE THE COURTESY TO NOTIFY THE
07:33:45PM COMMUNITY OF THEIR MEETING WITH THE EPC, BECAUSE OF THAT WE
07:33:48PM ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ORIGINAL HEARING.
07:33:50PM WHAT HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION BY THE CITY AND
07:33:54PM COUNTY STAFF IS THIS PROJECT DOES NOTHING TO ENHANCE THE
07:33:59PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:33:59PM IT BLOCKS THE NEIGHBORHOOD FROM THE RIVER AND ADDS TRAFFIC
07:34:02PM TO AN ALREADY BUSY ARTERIAL ROAD AND ENDANGERS THE RESIDENTS
07:34:09PM IN THE COMPLEX AND AROUND THE SURROUNDING AREA.
07:34:12PM AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, SACRIFICES AN IMPORTANT WETLAND AREA
07:34:17PM AND MOST REVERED PARCEL WITH OVER 100 TREES.
07:34:21PM CITY COUNCIL, THIS COMMUNITY IS YOUR MISSING MIDDLE.
07:34:23PM BECAUSE OF ITS AGE AND CONTRIBUTION TO THE CITY, I WOULD
07:34:26PM EVEN CONSIDER IT IS A HERITAGE COMMUNITY.
07:34:28PM THERE ARE ACTUALLY HOPES THAT ARE AFFORDABLE IN THIS AREA.
07:34:32PM APPROVING THIS PROJECT JEOPARDIZES THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE BY
07:34:37PM ALLOWING AN IRRESPONSIBLE PD REZONING TO OPEN THE FLOODGATES
07:34:42PM FOR MORE IRRESPONSIBLE BUILDINGS.
07:34:44PM WE SAY WE NEED AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BUT THIS ISN'T IT.
07:34:47PM THEY ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY LOWER HIGHER AMI, AFFORDABLE
07:34:54PM HOUSING AVAILABLE.
07:34:54PM I AM GOING TO ADDRESS ONE OF THE MANY REASONS THIS SHOULD BE
07:34:58PM DENIED.
07:34:58PM ON MARCH 7, 2024.
07:35:04PM STEVEN BENSON AND JONATHAN SCOTT, CITY STAFF MEMBERS MADE AT
07:35:08PM YOUR REQUEST.
07:35:09PM THEY MADE A PRESENTATION TO CITY COUNCIL ABOUT MINIMUM GARAGES.
07:35:12PM MR. SCOTT STATED IF YOU MAKE A GARAGE 18 X 18 FEET, YOU
07:35:18PM WOULD HAVE JUMP OUT THE WINDOW TO GET OUT OF THE CARS.
07:35:21PM HE SAID THIS IN PREPARING HIS REPORT, HE TALKED TO MANY
07:35:23PM ARCHITECTS WITH LOTS OF EXPERIENCE BUILDING MANY HOUSES AND
07:35:26PM THEY ALL SAID A TWO-CAR GARAGE SHOULD BE A MINIMUM OF 20
07:35:30PM FEET BY 20.
07:35:31PM HE ASKED -- HE ASKED THEM OF MAKING THE GARAGES SMALLER.
07:35:35PM AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT DO IT.
07:35:36PM IT WAS NOT A GOOD IDEA.
07:35:38PM MR. SCOTT WENT ON TOP SAY THAT 20 X 20 IS A MINIMUM SIZE FOR
07:35:43PM A TWO-CAR GARAGE BUT SOLID WASTE BINS ARE STORED INSIDE THE
07:35:49PM GARAGE 22 X 20.
07:35:51PM WITH THE WASTE RECEPTACLES 20 X 22.
07:35:54PM USING THE SCALE ON THIS SITE PLAN, NOT A SINGLE GARAGE IS 20
07:35:59PM BY 22, NOR HAS THE WASTE RECEPTACLES BEEN CONSIDERED.
07:36:05PM ALSO IF YOU LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN, THE ONLY MEASUREMENT
07:36:10PM SHOWING FOR THE GARAGE IS THE GARAGE DOOR DOES NOT GIVE THE
07:36:13PM LENGTH AND WIDTH OF THE INTERNAL MEASUREMENTS OF THE GARAGE.
07:36:18PM THE REALITY IS WHY THE STAFF DID NOT SHARE THIS INFORMATION
07:36:21PM WITH THE DEVELOPER IS A QUESTION.
07:36:23PM CERTAINLY HE HAS BEEN DEALING DEVELOPER LONG ENOUGH AND
07:36:28PM ESPECIALLY SINCE MARCH OF THIS YEAR.
07:36:29PM THE REALITY IS, ONLY ONE CAR CAN BE PARKED IN ALL THESE
07:36:33PM GARAGES.
07:36:33PM THAT MEANS IN REAL LIFE, NOT MAKE-BELIEVE LIFE, ONLY 45
07:36:38PM GARAGES, SPACES THAT ARE USABLE.
07:36:40PM ONLY INTERNAL SPACE IN THE GARAGE WILL NOT ACCOMMODATE A
07:36:43PM SECOND CAR UNLESS IT IS POSSIBLY A MINI COOPER.
07:36:46PM THEY HAVE NOT MET THE MINIMUM PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
07:36:53PM ALL ARE ONE-CAR GARAGES.
07:36:55PM THEY ARE SHORT OF THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
07:37:00PM TO CHANGE THIS ISSUE COULD TAKE A MAJOR CHANGE OF THE PLANS
07:37:03PM THAT CANNOT BE DONE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
07:37:06PM EXHIBIT ONE I GAVE YOU IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN THE GARAGES ARE
07:37:09PM TOO SMALL, THAT CARS HAVE TO PARK IN THE STREET.
07:37:11PM THE SECOND ONE TAKEN DIRECTLY OFF OF THE PRESENTATION THAT
07:37:14PM MR. SCOTT MADE SHOWING THE IMPOSSIBILITY TO OPEN THE DOORS.
07:37:18PM ON MARCH 7 YOU COUNCILMEMBERS SAID YOU DON'T WANT UNUSABLE
07:37:25PM GARAGES, BUT THESE GARAGES ARE USABLE.
07:37:27PM TWO MAJOR COMP PLAN GUIDELINES THAT STAFF AND DEVELOPMENT
07:37:31PM HAVE MISSED.
07:37:32PM LAND USE OBJECTIVE 8.13.
07:37:35PM DEVELOPER MUST BE CLUSTERED TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF OPEN
07:37:38PM SPACE ACREAGE TO PRESERVE NATURAL RESOURCES INCLUDING
07:37:41PM SIGNIFICANT WILDLIFE HABITAT, AQUIFER RECHARGE, FLOODPLAINS,
07:37:47PM AND OTHER RESOURCES.
07:37:48PM LAND USE POLICY 8.13.1.
07:37:51PM TYPES OF USES ALLOWED IN THE OPEN SPACES AREA CONSISTENT
07:37:56PM WITH PRESERVING SIGNIFICANT WILDLIFE HABITAT FUNCTION WITH
07:38:02PM THE HABITAT.
07:38:02PM PERMITTED USES CONSERVATION, MITIGATION AREAS, NATURAL
07:38:07PM OBSERVING, HIKING, LANDSCAPING, PEDESTRIANS AND BIKE TRAILS.
07:38:11PM I HAVE GIVEN YOU A HANDOUT WITH ALL OF THE CURRENT COMP PLAN
07:38:15PM GUIDELINES THAT STAFF AND DEVELOPMENT HAS -- AND DEVELOPER
07:38:18PM HAVE IGNORED.
07:38:20PM THIS INFORMATION WAS TAKEN FROM THE CURRENT PUBLISHED
07:38:30PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND PLEASE REVIEW THEM AND DENY THIS
07:38:32PM REZONING.
07:38:33PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MAN.
07:38:34PM NEXT SPEAKER IS WENDY PATUZI.
07:38:38PM GOOD EVENING.
07:38:38PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
07:38:39PM >> WENDY PATUZI.
07:38:43PM GOOD EVENING.
07:38:44PM THANK YOU FOR HEARING US.
07:38:45PM I AM A RESIDENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:38:48PM I AM A MOTHER IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND I JUST WANT TO BE
07:38:53PM HEARD.
07:38:53PM OKAY.
07:38:54PM CURRENT ZONING WAS ESTABLISHED FOR REASONS TO PROTECT THE
07:38:59PM SAFETY AND PIECE OF THIS SMALL RESIDENTIAL AREA.
07:39:05PM STUFFING 40 POUNDS OF BOLOGNA IN A ONE-POUND BAD.
07:39:09PM YOU CAN NOT ADEQUATELY MEET OUR MASSIVE DEMAND.
07:39:13PM ON THE STREETS, SMALL TWO-WAY STREETS, NO SIDEWALKS AND VERY
07:39:16PM HAVE VERY SMALL AREA.
07:39:17PM WE WANT TO PRESERVE THE CHARACTER AND SAFETY OF OUR
07:39:21PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:39:21PM WE WANT TO.
07:39:22PM WE HAVE QUESTIONS OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE, SEWER, WATER LINES,
07:39:26PM STORMWATER.
07:39:28PM CAN WE ADEQUATELY MEET THIS TYPE OF ABUNDANT AMOUNT OF
07:39:31PM PEOPLE AND CARS AND EVERYTHING IN OUR BUILDING.
07:39:38PM WORRIED OF LOCAL SCHOOLS, HANDLE IT.
07:39:42PM THE POLICE, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, EVERYTHING WE USE ON A
07:39:46PM DAILY BASIS FOR OUR SAFETY AND PROTECTION.
07:39:48PM OF COURSE WE WANT TO PROTECT THE WETLANDS.
07:39:50PM THE TREES.
07:39:51PM WE DON'T WANT FILL.
07:39:52PM WE WANT SOMETHING THAT IS SUSTAINABLE.
07:39:54PM WE WANT SOMETHING THAT IS NATURAL IN OUR DEVELOPMENTS AND IN
07:39:57PM OUR COMMUNITIES WE ARE NOT ANTI-DEVELOPMENT.
07:40:04PM WE DON'T WANT THE NOISE, THE TRAFFIC, THE POLLUTION.
07:40:07PM THE RS-10 ZONING FOR LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ZONING.
07:40:13PM THIS IS 45 UNIT WITH THAT KIND OF CAPACITY IS NOT A LOAN
07:40:17PM DENSITY ZONING IN MY EYES SO THIS HUGE DEVELOPMENT IS
07:40:23PM OVERCROWDING OF A SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:40:27PM IT IS DOING NOTHING TO HELP AN ALREADY BAD SITUATION.
07:40:30PM WE HAVE A TWO-LANE STREET ON ROME.
07:40:33PM BACKED UP FOR FIVE LIGHTS FROM -- IN FRONT OF THAT PROPERTY
07:40:36PM TO GET TO HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE IN THE MORNING AND EVENING
07:40:39PM JUST TO MAKE A LEFT OR A RIGHT.
07:40:41PM NO ROOM FOR ANYTHING GOING IN EITHER DIRECTION.
07:40:43PM SLIGH AVENUE BECOMES BACKED ON THE OTHER SIDE AND THEY ARE
07:40:47PM COMING THROUGH OUR SIDE STREETS AT 30 ALREADY 35, 40 MILES
07:40:51PM PER HOUR GOING THROUGH STOP SIGNS ON LITTLE, LITTLE STREETS.
07:40:55PM MEASURE THE SIDE OF THE STREETS TO GET TO ROME TO GET HOW
07:41:00PM THAT AGAIN.
07:41:01PM ADDING THIS KIND OF CAPACITY OF PEOPLE WILL LOWER THE
07:41:04PM QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD WE ARE INTERESTED
07:41:12PM IN CHANGE.
07:41:12PM CHANGE IS GOOD WHEN IT DOESN'T DAMAGE THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND
07:41:16PM MAKES IT A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE.
07:41:17PM RIGHT NOW THIS IS NOT HAPPENING WITH THIS PROPOSED
07:41:23PM DEVELOPMENT.
07:41:23PM PLEASE REJECT IT FOR ALL OF US.
07:41:25PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
07:41:26PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:41:28PM NEXT SPEAKER GODAM PATUZI.
07:41:35PM >> HELLO.
07:41:35PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
07:41:37PM >> GOOD EVENING.
07:41:38PM SAFETY IS THE BIGGEST CONCERN FOR ME AS A YOUNG PERSON.
07:41:41PM 611 ROME AVENUE SHOULD NOT BE DEVELOPED IN THIS WAY.
07:41:46PM ADDING 40-PLUS UNITS WHICH ADDS 102-PLUS VEHICLES ON OUR
07:41:51PM ONE-LANE STREET.
07:41:52PM ROME AVENUE HARDLY HAS A SIDEWALK.
07:41:54PM AND NONE OF THE SMALLER STREETS THAT EXIT TO ROME AVENUE
07:41:58PM HAVE THEM EITHER AND IT GETS WORSE AND WORSE.
07:42:01PM ENOUGH APARTMENTS, TRAILER PARKS, SINGLE AND MULTIFAMILY
07:42:06PM HOMES ON NORTH ROME AVENUE.
07:42:08PM OBVIOUSLY THERE IS NO NEED IN ADDING MORE HOUSING.
07:42:12PM BUT ADDING A NATURE PARK ON A WETLAND CAN BE A VERY POSITIVE
07:42:17PM DEVELOPMENT.
07:42:17PM ONE PROPERTY THAT IS JUST DOWN THE STREET FROM THIS
07:42:23PM DEVELOPMENT WAS ACTUALLY STOPPED.
07:42:26PM SO NOW IT IS JUST A NATURAL WETLAND AND ONLY ONE PROPERTY
07:42:31PM AWAY.
07:42:31PM DUE TO THE TRAFFIC ON SLIGH AND ROME, SMALL STREETS ALWAYS
07:42:35PM HAVE CARS.
07:42:36PM DRIVERS SPEED THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, FLYING THROUGH STOP
07:42:40PM SIGNS AND EXTREMELY EXCEEDING ALL THE SPEED LIMITS.
07:42:43PM SINCE I HAVE LIVED IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD FOR MORE THAN TEN
07:42:46PM YEARS, AND I HAVE SEEN THE ROADS EVERY SINGLE DAY, MY EXPERT
07:42:49PM OPINION IS THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO WALK YOUR DOG, RIDE A BIKE
07:42:53PM IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:42:53PM SO NOW IMAGINE ADDING 40-PLUS MORE BUSTLE TO THIS AREA.
07:43:01PM TURNINGS ON TO ROME AVENUE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
07:43:07PM SAFETY IS MY BIGGEST CONCERN.
07:43:09PM I SEE SO MANY DEAD ANIMALS ON THE STREET, AND I ALMOST HAVE
07:43:13PM BEEN HIT WALKING AND RIDING MY BIKE DOWN THESE STREETS.
07:43:18PM ROME AVENUE AND THE STREETS AROUND IT HAVE NOT DEVELOPED --
07:43:21PM HAVE NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR WORKED ON.
07:43:23PM SO MAYBE OUR FIRST POINT OF ACTION WILL BE DEVELOPING
07:43:26PM SOMETHING LIKE THE ROADS.
07:43:27PM ADDING SIDEWALKS AND PAVING.
07:43:29PM ALL THESE POTHOLES AND BUMP-RIDDEN STREETS.
07:43:34PM EVEN THOUGH THESE HORRIBLE HOLES DO HELP THE SPEEDING ISSUE.
07:43:37PM IF THE PROPERTY OF 611 NORTH ROME AVENUE NEEDS TO BE
07:43:42PM DEVELOPED, IT SHOULD BE DEVELOPED PURELY AS A PARK.
07:43:45PM NOT A HOUSING DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL ONLY CAUSE ENVIRONMENTAL
07:43:50PM ISSUES, TRAFFIC ISSUES AND ISSUES IN ALL FORMS OF LIFE THAT
07:43:54PM LIVE AROUND THIS AREA.
07:43:55PM THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
07:43:56PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:43:58PM GAIL HARRIS FOLLOWED BY LINDA -- COME ON UP.
07:44:06PM STATE YOUR NAME.
07:44:06PM >> GAIL HARRIS.
07:44:09PM I AM GAIL HARRIS, AND I LIVE AT 6000 RIVER TERRACE ON THE
07:44:14PM BEAUTIFUL HILLSBOROUGH RIVER.
07:44:15PM THAT IS INTEREST EKT DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM 611 ROME AVENUE.
07:44:22PM I, ALONG WITH 30 OTHER RESIDENTS, WHO SIGNED PETITIONS,
07:44:27PM ANTI-CONSTRUCTION PETITIONS, STRONGLY OPPOSE THE REZONING OF
07:44:31PM THIS BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY.
07:44:36PM OKAY, HERE IS A PICTURE OF MY HUSBAND'S DOCK.
07:44:44PM THIS IS A VERY NARROW PART OF THE RIVER.
07:44:46PM AND THERE IS A LOT OF BOAT TRAFFIC.
07:44:49PM AND THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS INCLUDE THREE TO FOUR NEW DOCKS
07:44:58PM POSSIBLY 13 JET SKIS.
07:45:00PM LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HUSBAND'S DOCK.
07:45:04PM A BOAT CAME DOWN WITH AN EYE DOCTOR DRIVING AND TOTALLY --
07:45:10PM IF HE HAD NOT RUN OFF THE DOCK, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.
07:45:15PM WE TO NOT NEED MORE DOCKS AT THIS POINTIEST, NARROWEST PART
07:45:22PM OF THE RIVER.
07:45:23PM JUST LAST MONTH ANOTHER BOAT CAME DOWN AND HIT MY DOCK AND
07:45:29PM WAS LODGED THERE.
07:45:30PM IT IS THE POINT.
07:45:35PM IT IS THE POINT OF THE RIVER.
07:45:37PM I BEG YOU ENCOURAGE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MUCH NEEDED TOWN
07:45:42PM HOUSES TO BE BUILT FURTHER INLAND.
07:45:45PM THIS HUGE DENSITY WILL SEVERELY INCREASE TRAFFIC ON THAT
07:45:52PM SMALL TWO-LANE AVENUE ROME CAUSED HUGE LOSS OF MUCH-NEEDED
07:46:00PM TAMPA TREE CANOPY.
07:46:02PM LOOK AT THE TREE CANOPY RIGHT ACROSS THE RIVER.
07:46:05PM IT IS GORGEOUS.
07:46:06PM IT WILL ALSO HURT THE WILDLIFE, INTENSIFY WETLAND PROBLEMS.
07:46:22PM THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER.
07:46:24PM ONE MORE LOOK.
07:46:24PM BEFORE AND AFTER, BANG!
07:46:26PM SORRY, TEACHER.
07:46:27PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:46:43PM 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.
07:46:57PM GO AHEAD, MA'AM.
07:47:00PM >> OKAY.
07:47:01PM I HAVE A VIDEO.
07:47:02PM MY NAME IS LANA PARUPS.
07:47:05PM I LIVE TWO HOMES DOWN FROM THE PROPOSED REZONING FOR 46
07:47:10PM YEARS.
07:47:10PM >> THE DEVELOPERS BLUEPRINT SHOWS WATER DISCHARGE POINT
07:47:17PM RIGHT NEXT TO OUR END OF THE WASTEWATER LIFT STATION A BIG
07:47:31PM POBD WHERE MY HUSBAND IS POINTING A FOUR FOOT --
07:47:34PM >> COMING FROM HANNA AVENUE.
07:47:35PM >> POND.
07:47:36PM MY VIDEOS ARE GOING TOO FAST.
07:47:38PM THERE IS A BIG WETLAND WITH A POND BEHIND THE WASTEWATER
07:47:43PM LIFT STATION.
07:47:44PM THIS IS MY BACK YARD ON A RAINY DAY.
07:47:48PM >> HERE IS MY WATER FLOWING.
07:47:51PM FLOWING.
07:47:54PM >> ANOTHER RIVER IN MY BACK YARD.
07:47:58PM THIS IS FROM HANNA AVENUE FROM WHERE THE -- THE PROPOSED
07:48:02PM REZONING IS.
07:48:03PM I AM ON THE RIVER.
07:48:08PM IF YOU CAN GO BACK -- THE FIRST VIDEO.
07:48:11PM THE FIRST PICTURE.
07:48:14PM THE FIRST PICTURE.
07:48:15PM IF YOU SEE THAT BLACK MARK THERE.
07:48:20PM THAT IS THEIR WATER DISCHARGE POINT.
07:48:22PM THE DEVELOPMENT'S WATER DISCHARGE POINT RIGHT NECK TO THE
07:48:26PM WASTEWATER LIFT STATION IS THAT BIG WHITE SO THEIR WATER
07:48:36PM DISCHARGE IS EITHER GOING INTO A WASTEWATER LIFT STATION OR
07:48:40PM NEXT TO IT.
07:48:41PM WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE HURRICANES WHEN THE
07:48:44PM WATER WENT INTO THERE.
07:48:45PM ALL THE NEW HOMES ON THE REFER ARE HOMES WITH VERY LITTLE
07:48:52PM FILL DIRT.
07:48:53PM I AM NOT AGAINST DEVELOPMENT
07:48:54PM BUILD HOMES AROUND THESE TREES AND WETLANDS THAT LOOK LIKE
07:48:58PM THE REST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:48:59PM MRS. PRESERVE THE NATURAL HISTORIC WATER SHEET FLOW.
07:49:03PM PLEASE SAY NO TO THIS.
07:49:05PM I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO FLOOD MYSELF OUT AND ALL THE
07:49:11PM NEIGHBORS AND THE WASTEWATER LIFT STATION.
07:49:13PM FROM THEIR MAP IT SHOWS THAT IS THE POINT OF DISCHARGE FROM
07:49:20PM ALL THE DRAINAGE.
07:49:22PM 6111 ROME AVENUE.
07:49:25PM YOUR POINT OF DISCHARGE IS INTO A WASTEWATER LIFT STATION?
07:49:32PM THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME.
07:49:33PM THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.
07:49:34PM PLEASE SAY NO TO THIS.
07:49:39PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:49:40PM NEXT SPEAKER JOHN EKVINK.
07:49:43PM >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.
07:49:44PM JOHN ELVINK, WEST STANLEY AVENUE.
07:49:49PM FOUNDING MEMBER OF FRIENDS OF THE RIVER.
07:49:51PM BEHALF OF OUR 1679 -- ONE MORE THAN YESTERDAY -- MEMBERS.
07:49:56PM I ASK THAT YOU NOT APPROVE THIS REQUEST FOR REZONING.
07:49:58PM IT DOES NOT CONFORM TO SEVERAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES.
07:50:02PM FRIENDS OF THE RIVER WAS FOUNDED IN JANUARY OF 2000 IN TAMPA
07:50:06PM AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION TO MAINTAIN AND
07:50:10PM IMPROVE THE FUTURE HEALTH, ENVIRONMENTAL RECREATION
07:50:14PM PROPRIETARY VALUES OF HILLSBOROUGH RIVER AND ADJACENT PLANS
07:50:17PM ON WATER.
07:50:18PM THE PURPOSE OF THE REZONINGS WILL BE ALLOWING BUILDING
07:50:25PM 45RESIDENTIAL UNITS AND PROPOSAL TO ADD UP TO 14 DOCKS
07:50:29PM EXPEND WHAT IS A VERY NARROW PART OF THE HILLSBOROUGH RIVER.
07:50:32PM YOU HEARD AT LOW TIDE NO WIDER THAN 20 FEET.
07:50:35PM OF COURSE, THE DOCKS BUILDING IS NOT REQUESTED IN THIS
07:50:40PM REZONING REQUEST BECAUSE THAT IS A LATER ISSUE BUT IT WILL
07:50:46PM BE DEALT WITH.
07:50:46PM AND I ASK FOR YOU TO TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT.
07:50:50PM WITH BOB DYLAN, TIMES ARE ACHANGING.
07:50:57PM WHAT WAS OKAY 20 YEARS AGO IN THE COMP PLAN MAY NOT BE OKAY
07:51:02PM AT THIS POINT.
07:51:02PM AS PRESENTED, PROPOSAL IS APPEARS TO BE IN VIOLATION OF THE
07:51:08PM COASTAL IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
07:51:10PM I MENTION IT TO COUNCIL.
07:51:11PM I WON'T QUOTE THEM AGAIN.
07:51:13PM CERTAINLY THE SITE SUN DEVELOPED INCLUDING A NUMBER OF
07:51:16PM NATURE TREES INCLUDING GRAND OAKS.
07:51:18PM MORE COURTS ARE RECOGNIZING THAT WETLANDS, TREES AND ANIMALS
07:51:23PM HAVE RIGHTS AND ECONOMIC VALUES, THE DESTRUCTION OF ONE OF
07:51:26PM THE LAST UNINTERRUPTED AREAS WILL BRIDGE HARM TO RIVERS,
07:51:32PM LANDS AND WATER BODIES.
07:51:34PM IT IS OF INTEREST OF THE 1679 MEMBERS OF THE CITY OF TAMPA AND
07:51:38PM ITS CITIZENS.
07:51:38PM THIS PROPOSAL REQUIRES AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF FILL DIRT TO
07:51:42PM BRING TO THE ENTIRE PROPERTY OF THE 12-FOOT ELEVATION.
07:51:45PM SPECIFIED IN THE PLAN APPLIES FOR CONSTRUCTION OF RETAINING
07:51:49PM WALL AND RIPRAP IN VIOLATION OF THE COMP PLAN.
07:51:52PM FRIENDS HAVE TWO ADDITIONAL CONCERNS.
07:51:54PM AMOUNT OF FILL DIRT OF THE NEW ELEVATION WILL SERIOUSLY ADD
07:51:58PM TO WASTEWATER AND RAIN RUNOFF IN THE RIVER.
07:52:00PM ON THE AMOUNT -- ON THE AMOUNT OF TRASH PRODUCED BY THE
07:52:04PM 80-PLUS NEW INHABITANTS.
07:52:06PM A LOT WILL END UP IN THE RIVER.
07:52:08PM AS WELL, FLOODING IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUES.
07:52:11PM I LIVE THREE QUARTER MILES OF UP RIVER FROM THE PROPERTY.
07:52:15PM DURING HELENE INCHES OF WATER IN MY HUSBAND.
07:52:18PM FROM MILTON, HOUSE WAS FLOODED WITH RUNOFF.
07:52:21PM DESPITE OF THE NEGATIVE SEARCH, RIVER WAS HIGH WITH RAIN
07:52:26PM WATER FLOWING OVER THE DAM.
07:52:28PM DURING HELENE, THE HEIGHT OF THE LEVEL OF THE RIVER OF THE
07:52:30PM DAM WAS 9.36 FEET.
07:52:32PM DURING MILTON OVER 10 FEET.
07:52:34PM THERE IS FLOODING DANGER.
07:52:37PM OUR LAST CONCERN LOWER HILLSBOROUGH RIVER IS HOME TO MANY
07:52:42PM SPECIES OF AQUATIC RIGHTS.
07:52:45PM INCLUDING MANATEES.
07:52:46PM THEY ARE PROTECTED UNDER THE ACT AND FEDERALLY PROTECTED.
07:52:50PM BUILDING THE DOCK ALSO HURT THEM.
07:52:54PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
07:52:54PM ASISHI TUCU.
07:52:58PM FOLLOWED BY NANCY STEVENS AND WALTER WORD.
07:53:05PM HELLO.
07:53:08PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
07:53:09PM >> GOOD EVENING.
07:53:10PM ANY NAME IS ASISHI TUCU.
07:53:13PM GOOD EVENING TO EVERYONE.
07:53:15PM SHORT AND SHEET.
07:53:16PM MY NAME AGAIN.
07:53:18PM AND I'M HERE TO EXPRESS MY SUPPORT FOR THIS PROPOSE
07:53:22PM DEVELOPMENT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:53:23PM I LIVE SEVERAL STREETS DOWN FROM THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.
07:53:27PM WHEN I PURCHASED THIS HOME, I DID SO WITH AGREE AMOUNT OF
07:53:30PM EXCITEMENT FOR THE POTENTIAL THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HAD AND HOLDS
07:53:33PM AND FOR THE PROJECTS LOOK THICK THAT SIGNAL GROWTH, RENEWAL
07:53:37PM AND OPPORTUNITIES.
07:53:37PM KNOWING THAT THERE WAS AN EYE ON RIVER BEND AND A VISION FOR
07:53:43PM TRANSFORMATION PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN ME PURCHASING MY HOME,
07:53:47PM MY FIRST HOME.
07:53:47PM THIS DEVELOPMENT REPRESENTS THE KIND OF PROGRESS BY BRINGING
07:53:52PM IN NEW HOUSING, ATTRACTING INVESTMENTS AND PROVIDING
07:53:54PM RESOURCES THAT CAN BENEFIT CURRENT AND FUTURE RESIDENTS.
07:53:59PM BY UNDER UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS OF TREE REMOVAL AND WETLAND
07:54:03PM MITIGATION AND I NEVER PRETEND TO BE AN EXPERT; HOWEVER, THE
07:54:06PM WETLAND IMPACT APPROVAL AND THE PLANS THAT THE APPLICANT HAS
07:54:10PM SHOWN DEFINITELY EXHIBIT THEIR COMMITMENT TO ENSURE THAT THE
07:54:14PM PROJECT CAN RESPONSIBLY BALANCE GROWTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL
07:54:20PM STEWARDSHIP.
07:54:21PM TAMPA IS A CITY ON THE RISE AND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HAS A
07:54:23PM CHANCE TO BE PART OF THAT MOMENTUM.
07:54:25PM THE DEVELOPMENT WILL BREED NEW LIFE IN THIS AREA CREATING
07:54:31PM VIBRANT COMMUNITY OF THE POTENTIAL I SAW WHEN I FIRST
07:54:34PM DECIDED TO PURCHASE MY HOME THERE.
07:54:38PM I ASK YOU TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT.
07:54:40PM THANK YOU SO MUCH.
07:54:42PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NANCY STEVENS.
07:54:48PM >> GOOD EVENING, NANCY STEVENS.
07:54:52PM I REPRESENT THE SIERRA CLUB TAMPA GROUP.
07:54:54PM AND WE SENT A LETTER REQUESTING YOU TO DENY THIS PD.
07:54:58PM I WILL ALSO BE REPRESENTING THE TREE ADVOCACY GROUP TO DENY
07:55:02PM THE PD AND TREE WAIVERS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.
07:55:05PM I JUST WANTED TO TALK FIRST OF ALL.
07:55:09PM MY FIRST LINE ON THIS.
07:55:10PM MY TALK IS DON'T FOOL WITH MOTHER NATURE.
07:55:13PM THE REASON IS THE RAIN.
07:55:15PM YOU HEARD A LOT AND MANY STORMS THIS YEAR, HURRICANES.
07:55:20PM WITH WE HAD A STORM SEPTEMBER 4 ABOUT THE RIVER ROSE.
07:55:26PM FIVE FEET IN ONE HOUR.
07:55:27PM IT WAS A RECORD 3.38, 39 INCHES OF RAIN IN THE AIRPORT AND
07:55:36PM NOT UNUSUAL WITH CLIMATE CHANGE THIS WILL HAPPEN ALL THE
07:55:41PM TIME.
07:55:41PM THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED TODAY CEMENTS OVER -- AS YOU
07:55:45PM HEARD THE WETLANDS NEXT TO THE HILLSBOROUGH RIVER WHICH WILL
07:55:50PM AGGRAVATE ANY TYPE OF WATER FLOW AND YOU HEARD SEVERAL
07:55:53PM PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THE WATER FLOW IF YOU LOOK AND TRY TO PUT
07:56:00PM THIS ONE UP.
07:56:01PM YOU SEE THE PROPERTY AND THE DELINEATED WETLANDS AND PUT
07:56:07PM FILL IN HERE AND WILL INTERRUPT A LOT OF FOLKS.
07:56:09PM ONE THING THAT HAS NOT BEEN MENTIONED ON THIS CHART, RIPRAP
07:56:14PM BEING INSTALLED.
07:56:15PM IT SAID THE RIPRAP.
07:56:18PM I CAN'T READ IT SO SMALL.
07:56:21PM ALONG RIVER FOR EROSION GROWTH.
07:56:23PM I WOULD IMAGINE THAT NEEDED BECAUSE THE OVERDEVELOPMENT --
07:56:26PM FILL, RETAINING WALL, INTERRUPTING THE FLOW, INSTALL RIPRAP.
07:56:30PM WELL RIPRAP IS ILLEGAL.
07:56:32PM THIS IS A COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA.
07:56:36PM THIS IS STORM SURGE AND THE USE OF SEAWALLS AND RIPRAP FOR
07:56:44PM BEACH SHORELINE IS PROHIBITED.
07:56:45PM SO THAT ALONE SHOULD STOP THIS PARTICULAR PROPOSAL BECAUSE
07:56:49PM IT IS VIOLATING THAT COASTAL MANAGEMENT POLICY.
07:56:53PM ALSO THE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY 3.1.1 WHICH WAS CITED EARLIER
07:56:59PM A PROVISION IN HERE THAT SAYS THE SAME THING SIMILAR FOR THE
07:57:03PM HILLSBOROUGH RIVER.
07:57:03PM DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT FOR HILLSBOROUGH RIVE
07:57:07PM FRONTAGE WILL REDUCE THE NEED FOR SEAWALL OR OTHER HARDENED
07:57:11PM SHORELINE BY PROVIDING ALTERNATIVE EROSION CONTROL DESIGNS.
07:57:14PM SO THE REQUEST HERE THAT YOU -- THAT THE PD SHOULD BE
07:57:20PM WORKING WITH NATURE, RETAINING.
07:57:22PM SHOULD RETAIN 50% OF THE EXISTING TREES.
07:57:26PM NO TREE WAIVER AND WORK WITH CONTROL AND EROSION CONTROL IN
07:57:30PM THE RIVER.
07:57:31PM THIS PD SHOULD BE DENIED AND DEVELOPED TO CONFORM WITH THE
07:57:36PM COMP PLAN.
07:57:36PM THANK YOU.
07:57:37PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WALTER WORTH, FRANK GRECO AND BOB
07:57:42PM WHITMORE.
07:57:42PM HELLO, SIR.
07:57:56PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
07:57:58PM >> MY NAME IS WALTER WORTH.
07:57:59PM THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK.
07:58:02PM BEFORE YOUR AUGUST COUNCIL.
07:58:06PM WE SEE MANY PRESENTATIONS.
07:58:11PM THERE SEEMS TO BE A FACT HERE THAT THIS WATER, THAT THE
07:58:16PM PROPERTY THAT IS CONCERNED HERE IS ON A NATURAL FLOW OF
07:58:20PM WATER FROM THAT TO THE WEST AND TO THE NORTH.
07:58:26PM THIS WATER HAS BEEN COMING FOR, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE CENTURY
07:58:32PM ARE WHO KNOWS HOW LONG.
07:58:34PM IT IS NOT GOING TO STOP.
07:58:35PM NO MATTER HOW HIGH THE NEW DEVELOPMENT IS OR HOW MANY DAMS
07:58:40PM MAY BE PUT UP.
07:58:41PM THIS WATER IS GOING TO COME AND IT IS GOING TO COME AND
07:58:49PM COME.
07:58:49PM HURRICANES DOESN'T MATTER.
07:58:50PM HEAVY RAINS, IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER.
07:58:52PM IT IS A NATURAL FLOW OF THIS WATER AND IT IS GOING TO GO
07:58:56PM SOME PLACE.
07:58:58PM AND IF IT CAN'T GO THROUGH THE SUBJECT DEVELOPMENT, IT HAS
07:59:07PM GOT TO GO AROUND IT AND FLOOD OUT THE NEIGHBORS.
07:59:09PM IT SEEMS VERY LIKELY THAT THE SUBJECT PROPERTY CAN GET
07:59:16PM FLOODED OUT PRETTY EASILY NO MATTER WHAT THEY HAVE SAID THEY
07:59:19PM ARE GOING TO DO.
07:59:19PM YOU CAN NOT STOP A CREEK.
07:59:25PM YOU CAN NOT STOP THE NATURAL FLOW OF WATER DOWN A HILL.
07:59:31PM KEEPS GOING AND IT KEEPS COMING AND COMING AND COMING.
07:59:35PM SO I WOULD ASK THE COUNCIL TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER WHAT THE
07:59:43PM APPROVAL OF THIS DEVELOPMENT WOULD BRING.
07:59:48PM IT WOULD BRING A LOT OF EXPENSE TO THE CITY OF TAMPA FOR ONE
07:59:52PM THING IF INDEED THESE HOMES ARE LITTLE BIT.
07:59:58PM TO SAY NOTHING OF THE DEGRADATION OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND
08:00:02PM WHO IS BENEFITTING FROM ALL THIS?
08:00:06PM ARE THE NEIGHBORS?
08:00:07PM ARE THEY BENEFITING?
08:00:09PM IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD?
08:00:11PM IS THE CITY OF TAMPA BENEFITTING FROM THIS PROJECT?
08:00:14PM WHO IS BENEFITING?
08:00:18PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.
08:00:22PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU, SIR.
08:00:23PM FRANK GRECO, BOB WHITMORE, ROB HASH.
08:00:28PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. GRECO HAS FIVE NAMES.
08:00:48PM JAMES HALEY.
08:00:50PM DAVID SNYDER.
08:00:51PM ALISON DATE.
08:00:54PM KEVIN FOX.
08:00:55PM ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR NAMES.
08:00:58PM 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
08:01:07PM ME 5440 NORTH RIVER SHORE DRIVE AND I AM ONE OF THE
08:01:12PM NEIGHBORS TO THE SOUTH OF THIS PROJECT.
08:01:13PM YOU PROBABLY HAVE ALREADY SEEN THE AERIAL PHOTO OF THE
08:01:18PM PROPERTY IN QUESTION.
08:01:18PM THIS IS AN AERIAL PHOTO BEFORE THE SALE AND SHOWS THE
08:01:24PM BUILDINGS THAT WERE ON THE PROPERTY AT THE TIME I ALSO HAVE
08:01:29PM A FEMA FLOOD MAP WHICH -- OH, SORRY.
08:01:35PM THERE WE GO.
08:01:36PM 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.
08:01:48PM GIVE IT A SECOND.
08:01:49PM PAUSE HIS TIME.
08:01:50PM >> THERE IT IS.
08:01:52PM A PICTURE OF THE -- OF THE AERIAL PHOTO OF THE PROPERTY
08:01:56PM BEFORE THE -- BEFORE THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY AND IT
08:02:00PM ACTUALLY SHOWS THE BUILDINGS ON THE PROPERTY.
08:02:02PM TWO BUILDINGS.
08:02:02PM I ALSO HAVE A FEMA FLOOD MAP AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THE GREEN
08:02:12PM AERIAL AND BLUE AREA WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT IS THE
08:02:15PM ELEVATION IS 1 FOR THE PROPERTY.
08:02:17PM WHERE BUILDINGS HAVE TO BE BUILT AND THE FLOOD ZONE AREA.
08:02:22PM AS YOU CAN SEE PRETTY MUCH TWO-THIRDS OF THAT PARTICULAR
08:02:26PM PROPERTY.
08:02:26PM WHICH MEANS NO TOPOGRAPHICAL SURVEY FOR THIS PROPERTY THAT
08:02:32PM WE HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO SHOW WHAT THE ELEVATIONS ARE THAT WILL
08:02:36PM BE VERY HELPFUL.
08:02:39PM AGAIN, THE ELEVATION WILL BE 11 FEET FOR THE BASE FLOOD
08:02:44PM ELEVATION PLUS 12 INCHES FOR A FREE BOARD.
08:02:47PM THE CITY OF TAMPA REQUIRES A FREE BOARD.
08:02:49PM AND I MIGHT MENTION THAT I WAS FORMALLY A PLANS EXAMINER FOR
08:02:53PM THE CITY OF TAMPA AND I WAS A FEMA CERTIFIED FLOOD PLAIN
08:02:57PM MANAGER.
08:02:58PM THE BUILDING DETAILS ON THIS PROPERTY SHOW THE ELEVATIONS AS
08:03:06PM FAR AS THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING, WHICH IS 34 FEET;
08:03:11PM HOWEVER, THEY DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO PUT A LITTLE BIT OF AN
08:03:15PM ARCHITECTURAL FEATURE ABOVE THAT.
08:03:16PM I WANT TO POINT OUT THOUGH, THAT THEY START OFF AT ZERO.
08:03:21PM THEY DON'T START AT THE EXISTING GRADE.
08:03:23PM SO FROM ZERO TO 34 FEET, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DIMENSION OF
08:03:30PM THIS AREA IS, WHICH IS THE EXISTING GRADE TO THE FINISHED
08:03:35PM FLOOR ELEVATION.
08:03:35PM AND WE WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW ON THEIR SITE PLAN ON THE BACK
08:03:43PM OF THE PROPERTY WHERE I GUESS THESE ARE THE FRONT ENTRANCES.
08:03:45PM AS YOU CAN SEE IT GRADUATES DOWN AS IT GOES CLOSER TO THE
08:03:49PM RIVER.
08:03:49PM AND YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE SEVERAL STEPS TO GET DOWN TO
08:03:52PM GRADE; HOWEVER, ON THE STREET SIDE AND THE GARAGE SIDE, IT
08:03:56PM IS AT GRADE.
08:03:57PM SO THIS IS AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF FILL.
08:04:01PM AS YOU HEARD OTHER PEOPLE TALK ABOUT, THE FILL WILL REQUIRE
08:04:04PM WELL WALLS TO PROTECT THE TREES.
08:04:07PM WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE STEP WALL OR THE FILL -- OR THE
08:04:12PM RETAINING WALLS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE HOW TALL IT WILL BE.
08:04:17PM HOW MUCH FILL ON THE PROPERTY OR ANYTHING TO THAT EFFECT.
08:04:20PM THIS BLUE LINE IS ACTUALLY THE WETLAND LINE.
08:04:23PM AND THAT LINE IS GOING TO BE FILLED AND MITIGATED IN ANOTHER
08:04:28PM AREA SO WE DON'T HAVE -- SO THEY WON'T HAVE TO.
08:04:34PM SO THEY WILL NOT HAVE A WETLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
08:04:38PM DEVELOPMENT.
08:04:39PM NOW YOU HAVE HEARD WHAT THE NEIGHBORS HAVE SAID ABOUT ALL
08:04:47PM THE FILL DIRT AND, AGAIN, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE AMOUNT OF
08:04:52PM FILL DIRT IS.
08:04:53PM WE ARE ESTIMATING SIX TO SEVEN FEET AT THE EASTERN END WHICH
08:04:57PM CLOSER TO THE RIVER.
08:04:58PM LET'S SEE WHAT FEMA SAY ABOUT IT.
08:05:00PM FEMA SAYS THE PLACEMENT OF FILL IN THE SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD
08:05:04PM AREA CAN INCREASE THE BFE, THE BASE FLOOD ELEVATION, BY
08:05:10PM REDUCING THE SOIL'S ABILITY TO CONVEY AND RESTORE
08:05:14PM FLOODWATERS.
08:05:15PM AN INCREASE IN THE BASE FLOOD ELEVATION CAN RESULT IN
08:05:18PM INCREASED FLOODING DABBLING TO BOTH UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM
08:05:25PM PROPERTIES, WHICH AS YOU KNOW, THERE ARE PROPERTIES TO THE
08:05:27PM NORTH AND TO THE SOUTH OF IT.
08:05:28PM SO WITH THE ADDITIONAL FILL, THE NATURAL FLOW OF THE SHEET
08:05:47PM FLOW OF THE PROPERTY, THE HISTORIC SHEET FLOW WILL BE
08:05:50PM DISRUPTED AND DIVERT THAT FLOOD WATER INTO THOSE NEIGHBORING
08:05:53PM PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH AND TO THE SOUTH.
08:05:54PM THERE IS NO OTHER WAY AROUND IT BECAUSE THE LAND, THE NEW
08:06:00PM ELEVATIONS ARE NOT GOING TO SUPPORT THAT SHEET FLOW AS IT --
08:06:04PM AS IT IS INTENDED TO DO.
08:06:06PM THE EPC APPROVED THE GULF WETLAND.
08:06:13PM AND THE MITIGATION CREDITS REMOVED ANY BENEFIT TO THAT
08:06:16PM COMMUNITY BY KNIT GATING IT TO SOME OTHER AREA AND I WOULD
08:06:21PM LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT AREA THEY ARE MITIGATING TO IS NOT
08:06:25PM EVEN IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY.
08:06:27PM THAT IS A LOSS OF BENEFIT TO OUR COMMUNITY AT RIVER BEND.
08:06:31PM ALSO THE EPC WAS CONSISTENT IS APPROVING THE FILLING OF
08:06:39PM WETLANDS WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
08:06:41PM .2 MILES, THE WETLANDS ALLOWED TO BE FILLED OR MITIGATED.
08:06:47PM I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THE TRAFFIC IMPACT,
08:06:50PM ADDITIONAL 90 CARS THAT THEY HAVE APPROVAL FOR 102 CARS ARE
08:06:54PM GOING TO GO ON TO THE NARROW ROADWAY IN FRONT OF IT WHICH IS
08:07:05PM ROAD.
08:07:05PM ONE HOUR IN EACH DIRECTION.
08:07:07PM ARE YOU SHALL HOUR BACK-UP FROM HILLSBOROUGH AND SLIGH IS
08:07:11PM HORRENDOUS.
08:07:12PM GOES BACK HALF A MILE IN THE MORNINGS AND HALF A MILE IN THE
08:07:15PM AFTERNOON.
08:07:16PM THERE WAS A STUDY DONE.
08:07:17PM IT WAS DONE ON NOVEMBER 11, WHICH HAPPENS TO BE VETERANS
08:07:21PM DAY.
08:07:21PM NO NOT ALL OF THE TRAFFIC STUDIES REALLY APPLY TO THIS
08:07:26PM TRAFFIC.
08:07:26PM ISSUE THAT WE HAVE THE CITY'S COMMITMENT FOR IMPROVEMENTS
08:07:35PM ARE DESPERATELY NEEDED.
08:07:38PM A TURN AREA GOING EASTBOUND AND WE HAVE NOT GOT IT YET.
08:07:41PM WHAT THE PEOPLE DO COMING DOWN ROME AVENUE, THEY CUT THROUGH
08:07:44PM THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE THEY KNOW THERE IS ANOTHER LIGHT AT
08:07:46PM LEE PLACE WAIT FOR THAT LIGHT AND GET EASTBOUND ON TO
08:07:54PM HILLSBOROUGH BECAUSE THERE IS NO PROVISION IN THE TRAFFIC
08:07:57PM PLAN FOR ADDING A TURN ARROW AT HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE TO GO
08:08:02PM EASTBOUND.
08:08:02PM THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, AND I THANK YOU VERY MUCH
08:08:06PM FOR LISTENING TO US AND WE -- WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR
08:08:12PM DECISION.
08:08:12PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
08:08:13PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
08:08:14PM BOB WHITMORE.
08:08:17PM ROD HATCH, DEB LOCANA.
08:08:21PM HE WAS HIDING THE BACK.
08:08:23PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
08:08:27PM >> BOB WHITMORE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF CITY TREE.
08:08:30PM GOOD TO SEE YOU GUYS AGAIN.
08:08:31PM I AM NOT PARTICULARLY OPPOSED TO DEVELOP ON THIS PIECE OF
08:08:34PM PROPERTY, BUT REZONING LIKE THIS IS A BETRAYAL TO AN
08:08:37PM ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD.
08:08:38PM AS MOST REZONING IS.
08:08:43PM IT IS ON WETLANDS, SO THERE IS THAT.
08:08:45PM COUNTER TO EVERYTHING THAT TREE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING
08:08:48PM EVERY SINGLE TIME WE STAND HERE FOR A DECADE.
08:08:52PM WE ARE TALKING 80 TREES THAT WILL BE COMING DOWN ON THIS
08:08:55PM PROPERTY.
08:08:56PM I CAN'T IMAGINE YOU GUYS WILL SIGN WAIVERS FOR THAT.
08:08:59PM BAFFLE ME HOW A CORPORATION CAN BUY UP A PIECE OF PROPERTY
08:09:03PM AND SPEND HUNDREDS IF NOT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
08:09:06PM FOR PRELIMINARY PLANNING AND SHOWING COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR
08:09:09PM TREES.
08:09:09PM REGULATIONS PUT IN PLACE TO PROTECT PROPERTY LIKE THIS FOR
08:09:12PM WHAT AMOUNTS TO BE CLEAR CUTTING, YOU CAN NOT CLEAR CUT
08:09:15PM PROPERTY IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
08:09:19PM THEN WHEN THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY PUSH BACK AND PROTECT A
08:09:22PM DWINDLING CANOPY FROM BLATANT ACTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL RAPE,
08:09:27PM THEY CRY FOUL AND SAY THEY ARE NOT TREATING FAIRLY.
08:09:31PM EASY MARCH THROUGH THIS COUNCIL AND PASS THE MAYOR'S
08:09:34PM COMMITMENT TO PRESERVE A DWINDLING CANOPY.
08:09:37PM IT IS COMPLETELY REASONABLE AND NO WAY ANTI-DEVELOPMENT FOR
08:09:43PM THIS CITY COUNCIL TO DENY THIS DEVELOPER PERMISSION TO
08:09:46PM CREATE A PROBABLY THAT REMOVES 75% OF THE TREES IN THE
08:09:52PM PROPERTY INCLUDING A GRAND OAK.
08:09:54PM YOU CAN NOT CLEAR CUT LAND IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
08:09:57PM 75% OF THE TREE IS CLEAR CUTTING AND A REASON YOU CANNOT
08:10:03PM CLEAR CUT.
08:10:03PM TREES, AMONG ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS THEY DO IS ALSO
08:10:07PM STRAWS.
08:10:08PM IF YOU CLEAR CUT 80 TREES OFF OF THIS PROPERTY, IF YOU THINK
08:10:12PM YOU SAW FLOODING THIS AREA BACK WHEN MILTON CAME THROUGH, IT
08:10:17PM WILL BE NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THESE TREE
08:10:20PM ARE GONE.
08:10:20PM IT IS COMPLETELY REASONABLE THAT THIS COUNCIL AND THIS CITY
08:10:25PM INSIST THAT THIS DEVELOPER WORK WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF
08:10:28PM NATURAL RESOURCES TO CREATE A DEVELOPMENT THAT TAKES ITS
08:10:32PM POUND OF FLESH AND NO MORE.
08:10:33PM PLEASE, AND NO MORE.
08:10:34PM OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO THE RESIDENTS OF RIVER BEND, THIS CITY
08:10:38PM AND PLANET.
08:10:39PM WE MAKE IT A PIVOTAL MOMENT.
08:10:41PM THIS IS THE ONE.
08:10:42PM THE PIVOTAL MOMENT WHEN THE MANDATE BECOMES CRYSTAL CLEAR
08:10:47PM REGARDING THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
08:10:49PM WE WILL NOT MORTGAGE OUR ENVIRONMENTAL FUTURE SO A HANDFUL
08:10:54PM OF MEN AND WOMEN CAN MAKE FISTFULS OF MONEY.
08:11:00PM NOT WHAT THIS CITY DOES.
08:11:01PM NOT MARCH TO OBLIVION ONE TREE AND A TIME.
08:11:06PM MOST VALUABLE AGAINST GLOBAL WARMING AND FLOOD.
08:11:11PM WE DO NOT BUILD ON WETLANDS.
08:11:13PM ASK YOU ON BEHALF OF THE SANE CITIZENS IN TAMPA.
08:11:16PM I SPEAK FOR THE PEOPLE OF TAMPA TO DENY THIS REZONING AND
08:11:19PM SEND THIS DEVELOPER BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD.
08:11:21PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
08:11:21PM [APPLAUSE]

08:11:44PM OF THE MOST NEGLECTED, ABUSED RESOURCE THAT THE CITY HAS AND
08:11:49PM THAT IS THE HILLSBOROUGH RIVER AND THE WILDLIFE THAT LIVES
08:11:52PM IN IT.
08:11:52PM YOU TALK OF FACTS EARLIER, MR. SHELBY.
08:11:55PM I WANT TO SHOW YOU FACTS ABOUT OUR HILLSBOROUGH RIVER.
08:11:58PM I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE THIS OR NOT.
08:11:59PM THIS IS A SAMPLE WATER TEST TAKING ON 1216.
08:12:05PM POOR WATER QUALITY IS 70 PARTS PER 100 MILLILITERS.
08:12:16PM 264 PARTS.
08:12:18PM THE CITY'S NEGLIGENCE WITH REGARDS TO OUR SEWERS AND POOR
08:12:22PM LIFT STATIONS THAT WE HAVE.
08:12:23PM BETWEEN DOWNTOWN AND ROWLETT PARK, 513 RESIDENTIAL AND
08:12:29PM MULTIFAMILY LOTS.
08:12:30PM NOW I AM NOT SURE HOW MANY DWELLING UNITS THAT REPRESENT,
08:12:34PM BUT THAT IS PROBABLY RIGHT AROUND 1,000 TOTAL DWELLING UNITS
08:12:38PM RIGHT THERE.
08:12:38PM THIS DEVELOPER HAS DONE A GREAT JOB.
08:12:42PM NOT HIS FAULT WHY THIS SHOULD BE DENIED.
08:12:45PM FAULT LIES ON THE CITY OF TAMPA.
08:12:47PM BECAUSE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE SUCKS.
08:12:50PM OUR SEWER IS TERRIBLE.
08:12:51PM OUR LIFT STATIONS STILL HAVEN'T BEEN UPDATED.
08:12:55PM AND I DON'T KNOW IF HE IS GOING TO HAVE TO PUT A PRIVATE
08:12:58PM LIFT STATION IN THERE OR NOT, BUT PRIVATE LIFT STATIONS
08:13:01PM AREN'T EVEN REQUIRED TO HAVE A TELEMETRY SYSTEM ON THEM
08:13:04PM STILL.
08:13:04PM I COMPLAINED TO THE CITY FOR TWO YEARS NOW.
08:13:07PM EVERY LIFT STATION HERE SHOULD HAVE A BACK-UP POWER SUPPLY
08:13:10PM AND WE NEED TO STOP SEWAGE FROM GOING INTO OUR RIVER.
08:13:14PM THERE ARE 20 MANATEES RIGHT NOW AT SULPHUR SPRINGS PARK.
08:13:19PM THIS YEAR THEY WILL BE PLACED BACK ON THE ENDANGERED LIST
08:13:24PM PROBABLY.
08:13:24PM IF YOU APPROVE THIS, YOU ARE APPROVAL MORE SEWAGE IN OUR
08:13:28PM RIVER.
08:13:28PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
08:13:29PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
08:13:30PM [APPLAUSE]
08:13:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE -- [GAVEL SOUNDING]
08:13:36PM -- PLEASE REFRAIN FROM CLAPPING.
08:13:41PM >> I HAVE A COUPLE EXTRA MINUTES.

08:13:59PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: TOTAL OF SIX.
08:14:05PM >> DEBRA LOCANTA, 54 NORTH RIVER SHORE DRIVE.
08:14:11PM NORTH OF THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION.
08:14:12PM ON THE CORNER OF RIVER SHORE AND POWHATAN AND BASICALLY MY
08:14:17PM HOUSE IS AT THE END OF THE HILL AT THE RIVER.
08:14:19PM EVERYTHING FLOWS DOWN HILL.
08:14:21PM WE WILL THINK ABOUT THAT.
08:14:22PM I'M HERE TO BASICALLY TALK OF TRAFFIC.
08:14:24PM THE TRAFFIC SURVEY THAT FRANK TALKED ABOUT, I REQUESTED THAT
08:14:27PM FROM FDOT.
08:14:29PM AND WE LOOKED AT THEIR SURVEY.
08:14:31PM WE BROUGHT THAT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE PERSON TO THE FOLKS
08:14:35PM THAT ARE PRESENTING TODAY AND WE EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT WE
08:14:40PM SAW.
08:14:40PM I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF IT.
08:14:43PM WE TALKED OF THE KID AND THE BASEBALL FIELD, P.A.L. RIGHT
08:14:47PM ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PROPERTY.
08:14:49PM IT IS FOR OUR YOUTH.
08:14:50PM IT IS FOR OUR KIDS.
08:14:51PM THEY PLAY.
08:14:52PM IT IS AN AREA WHERE KIDS ARE GOING TO BE PLAYING CLOSE TO
08:14:56PM THE STREET.
08:14:56PM SO THEY ARE IN THAT AREA, BUT IT IS VERY CLOSE.
08:14:59PM TRAFFIC IS A NIGHTMARE.
08:15:00PM YOU HEARD EVERYBODY LAUGH ABOUT TRAFFIC.
08:15:02PM I LIVE ON -- WHEN I GO POWHATAN TO ROME AVENUE, MY
08:15:06PM DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL IS TO THE LEFT.
08:15:07PM I GO TO THE RIGHT.
08:15:08PM BECAUSE I CANNOT GET OUT OF THE STREET.
08:15:10PM I AM HEADING NORTH ON ROME AVENUE TO MAKE A LEFT ON HENRY.
08:15:14PM CARS ARE COMING AT ME COMING THE OPPOSITE WAY.
08:15:17PM TWICE WE HAD TO STOP BECAUSE THE CARS ARE COMING AT ME
08:15:20PM BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC IS SO FAR BACKED UP COMING DOWN THE
08:15:23PM WRONG WAY.
08:15:24PM THEN THEY COME DOWN POWHATAN.
08:15:26PM I KEEP MY ANIMALS IN BETWEEN 7 AND 9 A.M. BECAUSE I WANT
08:15:30PM THEM TO LIVE.
08:15:30PM WE ALWAYS HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL OF WHAT WE ARE DOING.
08:15:34PM THE CARS ARE DRIVING SO FAST THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD THEY
08:15:37PM ARE NOT AWARE OF WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
08:15:38PM THERE IS A CURVE RIGHT AT THE END OF POWHATAN.
08:15:41PM THE CITY PUT UP SOME SIGNS THAT SHOW BIG ARROWS BECAUSE OF
08:15:45PM CURVES.
08:15:45PM PEOPLE ARE DRIVING RIGHT THROUGH AND WE ARE HAVING A
08:15:47PM PROBLEM.
08:15:47PM I WAS GOING TO SHOW YOU THIS PICTURE HERE, WHICH IS THE
08:15:53PM SEWER DRAIN BETWEEN MY HOUSE AND MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE.
08:15:55PM IT IS A BIG CONCRETE WHERE ALL THE WATER COMES OFF ROME
08:15:59PM AVENUE, FLOWS DOWN POWHATAN AND WATER COMES -- AND TRAINS
08:16:04PM OUT OF THIS SEWER METAL CONCRETE THING.
08:16:07PM IT IS ERODED.
08:16:08PM ALL THE WATER IS COME DOWN.
08:16:10PM PUSH THROUGH SO FAST THIS IS WHAT MY NEIGHBORS EROSION LOOKS
08:16:15PM LIKE ON HER DOCK.
08:16:16PM THAT IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
08:16:17PM I DIDN'T SHOW MY PROPERTY.
08:16:18PM IT IS WORSE.
08:16:19PM I DON'T HAVE A DOCK BUT THAT IS WHAT IS GOING ON THERE.
08:16:22PM THE GREEN -- THEY TALKED ABOUT CARS.
08:16:25PM 102 CARS.
08:16:26PM THEY SAID BETWEEN 18 IN THE MORNING AND 24 IN THE P.M. 2.5%
08:16:33PM USAGE.
08:16:34PM I WOULD LIKE FOR SOMEBODY TO COME AND DO ANOTHER TRAFFIC
08:16:37PM STUDY TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON ROME AVENUE.
08:16:40PM THAT WAS DONE MAYBE FOUR YEARS AGO.
08:16:44PM MAYBE TIME TO DO ANOTHER ONE.
08:16:45PM I OPPOSE THIS PROJECT BECAUSE THE SAFETY OF THE
08:16:49PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
08:16:49PM THE CARS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
08:16:51PM SOMEONE WILL GET HURT.
08:16:52PM YOUR FIVE-YEAR PLAN FOR THE CITY IS TO PUT A BIKE LANE.
08:16:56PM FIVE-YEAR PLAN UP RIVER SHORE DOWN POWHATAN DOWN ROME DOWN
08:17:01PM ALICIA RIGHT IN FRONT OF ALL OF OUR PROPERTIES.
08:17:03PM I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE HURT AND INJURED
08:17:07PM IN THAT BIKE PATH THAT YOU PROPOSE IN YOUR T.I.P. PLAN FOR
08:17:11PM THE CITY.
08:17:11PM WHAT ELSE?
08:17:14PM MY BACKGROUND, 20 YEARS WITH FED EX.
08:17:17PM TEN YEARS AS TRANSPORTATION DIRECTOR IN PINELLAS COUNTY
08:17:20PM SIMILAR TO THE SUNSHINE LINE.
08:17:21PM I HAVE MY OWN TRANSPORTATION COMPANY.
08:17:23PM I WAS CERTIFIED BY FED EX WITH THEIR SMITH SYSTEM WHICH IS A
08:17:27PM TRAINING FOR DRIVERS.
08:17:28PM THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE AREA.
08:17:30PM ALL THROUGH THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HERE WHERE THEY ARE PUTTING
08:17:35PM THESE PROJECTS.
08:17:35PM THEY ARE PUTTING ALL THESE HOUSES, ALL THESE CARS.
08:17:38PM I WOULD PLEASE ASK YOU TO DO MORE RESEARCH TO SEE WHAT THE
08:17:41PM IMPACT WILL BE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND HOW IT WILL AFFECT
08:17:45PM THE STREETS AROUND US BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS CUTTING THROUGH
08:17:47PM LIKE YOU SAID.
08:17:48PM THEY ARE CUTTING DOWN THROUGH HENRY.
08:17:50PM AN ACCIDENT ON HENRY AND ARMENIA.
08:17:53PM I DRIVE DOWN HENRY TO DRIVE DOWN ARMENIA TO GET TO MY
08:17:58PM DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL OTHER SIDE OF HILLSBOROUGH AND I CAN'T
08:18:01PM TURN LEFT BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE BLOCKING HENRY AND ARMENIA.
08:18:03PM SO I AM WAITING FOR LIGHTS.
08:18:05PM SO I CURVE.
08:18:06PM SO I CAN PARK.
08:18:07PM SO I CAN GET INTO THAT LANE THERE.
08:18:09PM SO I REALLY THINK THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE TRAFFIC
08:18:13PM STUDIES DONE.
08:18:14PM A LOT OTHER STUDIES THAT NEED TO BE DONE AS WELL I THINK
08:18:19PM FRANK TALKED OF THE LIGHT AT HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE.
08:18:23PM NO LEFT-TURN LANE.
08:18:24PM A BIG DITCH BY THE MOBIL GAS STATION IN YOU WANT TO TRY TO
08:18:28PM GO FORWARD SO A BIG HOLE IF YOU DECIDE YOU WANT TO DRIVE A
08:18:34PM TRUCK THROUGH THERE, THAT IS FINE.
08:18:36PM MY BRAND-NEW VAN, I AM NOT GOING TO DRIVE THAT THERE.
08:18:39PM I APPRECIATE YOU TAKE AGE TO LOOK AT THE TRAFFIC.
08:18:42PM IF THIS IS YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
08:18:44PM IF THIS IS HOW YOU WANT THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE COMMUNITY
08:18:46PM LOOK, WIDEN ROME AVENUE.
08:18:49PM FIGURE OUT SOMETHING THAT CAN HELP AND SUPPORT ALL OF US.
08:18:51PM IF YOU WANT A BIKE LANE, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO MAKE
08:18:54PM THAT BIKE LANE SAFE?
08:18:56PM YOU APPROVED THE BIKE LANE.
08:18:57PM LET'S GO BACK AND LOOK AT WHAT THAT BIKE LANE LOOKS LIKE
08:19:01PM GOING DOWN THE STREET.
08:19:01PM I WAS ON THE CALL WHEN YOU APPROVED IT.
08:19:03PM AND I DID BRING UP MY CONCERNS AT THAT TIME.
08:19:06PM SO I REALLY HOPE THAT SOMEBODY TAKES A LOOK AT THE TRAFFIC
08:19:11PM AND THE EMOTION ON THE CITY.
08:19:13PM ON THE RIVER.
08:19:15PM THAT IS WHERE I WAS TRYING TO SHOW YOU THE EROSION ON THE
08:19:18PM CITY WHERE THE -- THAT POPS UP.
08:19:22PM WHERE THE DRAIN -- ALL THE WATER GOES SOME PLACE IN THE BIG
08:19:28PM DRAIN.
08:19:28PM ALREADY ERODED.
08:19:29PM THE TREES ARE FALLING DOWN INTO THE RIVER.
08:19:32PM YOU CAN SEE THE EROSION FROM THERE TO FLORIDA.
08:19:34PM AND YOU SEE SOME OTHER STUFF THERE.
08:19:37PM THE EROSION, THE TREES -- LET ME SEE IF I CAN FIND THIS ONE.
08:19:41PM THE TREES FALLEN IN.
08:19:43PM SINCE THE LAST HURRICANE, THE TREES HAVE FALLEN IN.
08:19:46PM ALL THE WATER WILL GO SOME PLACE.
08:19:48PM WILL GO BACK PROBABLY INTO THE RIVER AND GOING IN THIS BIG
08:19:52PM AREA AND JUST ERODING THE RIVER ROAD.
08:19:56PM AT THE END OF RIVER BEND -- THE OTHER RIVER SHORE, THE ROAD
08:20:00PM IS COMPLETELY FLOODED.
08:20:01PM ABOUT A FOOT LEFT.
08:20:02PM AND SIT NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO.
08:20:05PM I JUST ASK THAT YOU LOOK AT THIS WHOLE PROJECT, LOOK AT WHAT
08:20:08PM THE -- WHERE THE WATER IS GOING TO GO.
08:20:11PM WHAT THE IS GOING TO DO AND HOW IT WILL IMPACT US.
08:20:15PM LOOK AT HOUSES ON THIS INSTEAD OF 45 UNITS.
08:20:18PM THANK YOU.
08:20:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
08:20:22PM STEPHANIE POYNOR, CARROLL ANN BENNETT AND TODD RANDOLPH.
08:20:29PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX NAMES.
08:20:42PM ANNE DELANEY.
08:20:43PM EXCUSE ME?
08:20:48PM ANNE DELANEY HERE?
08:20:50PM I AM SORRY.
08:20:50PM THANK YOU.
08:20:51PM MIKE ADDISON.
08:20:52PM >> HERE.
08:20:54PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: STEVE KING?
08:20:56PM STEVE KING?
08:21:01PM LAST CALL, MR. KING, STEVE KING.
08:21:03PM LAWRENCE CORWIN.
08:21:07PM THANK YOU.
08:21:08PM INGRID SMITH.
08:21:09PM THANK YOU.
08:21:10PM PHIL COMPTON, THANK YOU.
08:21:11PM 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.
08:21:26PM I FIND IT IRONIC THE SECOND DEVELOPMENT I TALKED ABOUT ON
08:21:30PM THE RIVER, ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE RIVER.
08:21:32PM I KNOW A LOT OF THE NIGHTMARE OF PARKING.
08:21:35PM I LIVE IN A COMMUNITY THAT HAS 44 UNITS.
08:21:37PM 16 OF THOSE ARE DUPLEXES.
08:21:39PM WHICH MAKES THEM 32.
08:21:44PM AND 12 SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
08:21:46PM WE HAVE MADE -- WHEN WE PURCHASED OUR PROPERTIES 13 YEARS
08:21:50PM AGO, THERE WAS NO ON STREET PARKING.
08:21:52PM WE HAVE MADE 27 PARKING SPACES ON AND CHANGED OUR DEED
08:21:57PM RESTRICTIONS.
08:21:57PM I DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY, THEY ARE GOING TO PARK -- THEY
08:22:01PM WILL NOT ALL PARK IN THEIR GARAGES.
08:22:03PM SO WE END UP WITH SITUATIONS LIKE THIS.
08:22:05PM WE HAVE DEFICIENT DRIVEWAYS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
08:22:08PM THIS DRIVEWAY HERE IS 13 FEET, EIGHT INCHES LONG.
08:22:12PM YOU ALL KNOW HOW LONG YOUR CARS ARE.
08:22:15PM SO YOU DO THE MATH.
08:22:17PM YOUR CAR WILL PROBABLY NOT FIT THERE.
08:22:18PM AS A MATTER OF FACT, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S CAR WILL FIT
08:22:21PM THERE THAT IS ON COUNCIL.
08:22:22PM SO THIS IS A CAR THAT IS PARKED IMPROPERLY BLOCKING THE GAR
08:22:28PM PROJECT DOOR AND THIS IS A TWO-CAR GARAGE.
08:22:31PM THEY ARE 19 FEET WIDE.
08:22:32PM OKAY.
08:22:34PM I WANT TO REMIND THAT YOU THIS IS REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT
08:22:37PM THAT YOU THINK OF HOW DEFICIENT DRIVEWAYS IMPACT OUR
08:22:40PM NEIGHBORHOODS.
08:22:41PM THE WIDTH OF YOUR CARS -- YOU KNOW, I HAD TO GO BACK AND DO
08:22:47PM MY HOMEWORK.
08:22:48PM THESE GARAGES, TANDEM GARAGES IN PARTICULAR ARE SUPPOSED TO
08:22:52PM IT BE NINE FEET WIDE.
08:22:54PM THEN HOW DO YOU GET IN AND OUT OF THE CAR.
08:22:56PM I AM GOING TO TELL YOU I HAVE BEEN GETTING IN AND OUT OF
08:22:59PM CARS LIKE THIS FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS BECAUSE I AM
08:23:01PM STARTING SOMEBODY'S CAR WHO IS OUT OF THE COUNTRY.
08:23:04PM THIS LITTLE MAP RIGHT HERE.
08:23:06PM I GOT A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON.
08:23:09PM AND I AM VERY, VERY, VERY CONFUSED
08:23:11PM IS THIS THE SIDE YARD OR THE BACK YARD?
08:23:15PM OR IS THIS THE FRONT YARD OR THE BACK YARD?
08:23:17PM BECAUSE IN ALL THESE LITTLE BLUE THINGS ARE POSSIBLE
08:23:23PM OPTIONAL SWIMMING POOLS.
08:23:25PM I WANT YOU TO SEE THAT THIS -- THAT THIS LITTLE THING IS TEN
08:23:29PM FEET WIDE AND THEY LOOK LIKE SQUARES BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT
08:23:35PM OF NUMBERS.
08:23:35PM I UNDERSTAND THAT THE APPLICANT REVISED THIS SITE PLAN MANY,
08:23:38PM MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, AND YOU WOULD THINK THAT
08:23:41PM THE IMPORTANT NUMBERS WOULD BE THERE AND ONE OF THE 49
08:23:45PM THINGS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING HAS BEEN ASKED TO
08:23:51PM PUT THE SIZE OF THE GARAGES.
08:23:52PM THIS TEN-FOOT JOKERS RIGHT HERE.
08:23:54PM YOU HAVE SWIMMING POOLS NEXT TO THEM.
08:23:56PM THE SWIMMING POOLS CAN'T BE ANY MORE THAN EIGHT BY EIGHTISH,
08:24:01PM BUT ON THIS ROW, WITH THE SIDE BY SIDE GARAGES, THE SWIMMING
08:24:07PM POOLS ARE IN THE FRONT BACK, WHICH IS IT?
08:24:09PM ARE THEY THE FRONT OR THE BACK?
08:24:11PM WHAT REALLY GETS ME IS THE LITTLE BROWN PARTS RIGHT THERE.
08:24:15PM THE SIDEWALK.
08:24:16PM WHY EVEN BOTHER.
08:24:19PM SERIOUSLY THIS WILL BE A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD IF YOU PUT THE
08:24:23PM SIDEWALKS AROUND THE PERIMETER THE NEIGHBORHOOD SO YOU CAN
08:24:27PM WALK.
08:24:27PM YOU CAN'T EVEN WALK YOUR DOG THERE.
08:24:29PM SOMEBODY WILL GET RUN OVER.
08:24:31PM WHY ARE WE ALLOWING -- WHY WOULD ANYBODY ALLOW TO PUT A
08:24:35PM SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF A GARAGE DOOR.
08:24:37PM THAT IS THE DUMBEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN.
08:24:39PM DEFICIENT DRIVEWAYS.
08:24:41PM AGAIN, WE KNOW HOW THESE SHORT DRIVEWAYS ARE NOT GOING TO
08:24:45PM WORK.
08:24:45PM I WILL TELL YOU IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT NOW TODAY IF I WALK
08:24:48PM MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND I DO IT EVERY DAY WHEN I WALK THE DOGS.
08:24:51PM I AM COUNTING CARS BETWEEN EIGHT AND 14 CARS PARKED ON THE
08:24:58PM STREET.
08:24:58PM IN OUR VISITOR PARKING SPACES, 27 OF THEM.
08:25:02PM BETWEEN EIGHT TO 14 CARS PARKED IN THE STREET ALL THE TIME.
08:25:05PM DOESN'T MATTER WHAT TIME OF DAY OR NIGHT.
08:25:07PM AND GUESS WHAT?
08:25:09PM THOSE FOLKS LIVE IN OUR DUPLEXES THAT HAVE -- THEY HAVE
08:25:14PM DOUBLE CAR GARAGES BUT THEY EITHER DON'T OR CAN'T GET BOTH
08:25:20PM VEHICLES IN THERE LET ME TELL YOU IF I HAD A DOLLAR FOR THE
08:25:25PM TIME WE SENT A LETTER TO A NEIGHBOR SAYING YOU CAN'T PARK ON
08:25:29PM THE STREET ALL THE TIME.
08:25:30PM THEY WILL SAY I DON'T KNOW THAT.
08:25:32PM NOBODY TOLD ME THAT.
08:25:34PM EVEN BY LAW THEY HAD TO BE AGAIN THE DEED RESTRICTIONS
08:25:38PM BEFORE THEY BOUGHT THE PROPERTY.
08:25:39PM BY LAW.
08:25:39PM YOU CAN'T SAY THEY WERE TOLD BECAUSE IT DOESN'T WORK THAT
08:25:42PM WAY.
08:25:42PM THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO POINT OUT, THESE HAVE 24-FOOT
08:25:46PM AISLES.
08:25:47PM THEY SAYS IT 40 FEET BETWEEN THE -- BETWEEN THEM.
08:25:50PM BUT WHEN YOU YET TO THE 24-FOOT AISLES, REMEMBER WHAT
08:25:55PM HAPPENS.
08:25:55PM YOU GET THE BANGED-UP GARAGE DOORS.
08:26:01PM IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, MY NEW FAVORITE NEIGHBORHOOD TO
08:26:05PM DRIVE BY.
08:26:05PM THESE ARE TWO-CAR GARAGES AND WE HAVE FOUR CARS PARKED
08:26:10PM OUTSIDE THE GARAGES HORIZONTALLY.
08:26:13PM I GUARANTEE YOU THEIR DEED RESTRICTIONS SAY THEY CAN'T PARK
08:26:18PM LIKE THAT.
08:26:19PM FOUR PARKING SPACES IN THE BACK.
08:26:21PM EVERY TIME I DRIVE IN THERE, THEY ARE FULL.
08:26:23PM INCLUDING THE HANDICAP ONE THAT NEVER, EVER HAS A HANDICAP
08:26:27PM TAG IN THE WINDOW.
08:26:28PM SO I WANT TO TALK FOR JUST A MINUTE I AM SO CONFUSED AND
08:26:36PM ALWAYS CONFUSE.
08:26:36PM SO MAYBE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND BUT MR. THOMAS WHEN TALKING OF
08:26:46PM THE HEIGHTS TALKING OF 22 FEET.
08:26:48PM I DID MISSED THAT.
08:26:49PM AM I CONFUSED.
08:26:50PM I COULD HAVE SWORN HE SHOWED US TWO-STORY BUILDING WHICH IS
08:26:54PM 35 FEET, WHICH IS OKAY.
08:26:55PM BUT WHICH IS IT.
08:26:56PM WERE THE ELEVATIONS CORRECT THAT HE WAS SHOWING US OR WHAT
08:26:59PM IS GOING ON WITH THAT.
08:27:00PM THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF IMPERVIOUS SURFACE ALWAYS GETS ME.
08:27:04PM SO WE ARE GOING TO GO TO 57% IMPERVIOUS SURFACE.
08:27:09PM THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SWIMMING POOL SPACES, FOLKS.
08:27:14PM DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SWIMMING POOL SPACES.
08:27:16PM IF YOU DO THE MATH -- YOU KNOW ME, I LIKE TO DO MATH.
08:27:18PM IF YOU BUILD AN 8 FOOT BY 8 FOOT SWIMMING POOL.
08:27:23PM NO DECKING AROUND IT.
08:27:24PM 8 FOOT BY 8 FOOT WILL REDUCE THE IMPERVIOUS SURFACE BY 2700
08:27:31PM MORE SQUARE FEET.
08:27:32PM THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES I KIND OF GOOGLED.
08:27:35PM PROBABLY ANOTHER 600 SQUARE FEET THAT YOU WILL LOSE THERE.
08:27:38PM AND SO YOU ARE TALKING OF ANOTHER 3200 SQUARE FEET.
08:27:44PM THE STAFF REPORT SAY THEY CAN'T BUILD ON 25% OF THIS
08:27:47PM PROPERTY.
08:27:47PM THEY CAN NOT BY LAW.
08:27:48PM SO WHEN YOU SEE THAT BIG GREEN THING THAT SAYS WE GOT MORE
08:27:53PM SPACE THAN WE HAVE TO GUESS WHAT, .25, 11,000 SQUARE FEET
08:28:00PM ARE REQUIRED BY THE EPA.
08:28:01PM IT IS REQUIRED BY THE EPA.
08:28:03PM AND DO YOU KNOW THAT THE WASTEWATER STATION NEXT TO THIS
08:28:08PM PROPERTY FLOODED DURING THE STORMS.
08:28:11PM THE WASTEWATER STATION NEXT TO THIS PROPERTY FLOODED DURING
08:28:16PM THE STORMS.
08:28:16PM MR. WEISS TOLD US THAT THIS WEEK.
08:28:20PM THIS PARKING IT SHALL IN PROJECT DOES NOT MEET THE PARKING
08:28:25PM STANDARDS.
08:28:25PM NOT EVEN CLOSE.
08:28:26PM NOT EVEN HALF.
08:28:27PM ALL YOU ARE DOING, IF YOU APPROVE THIS, IS CREATING A HUGE
08:28:31PM PARKING ISSUE.
08:28:32PM SO YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES.
08:28:33PM ONE, DO YOU LIKE MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND CREATE MORE PARKING,
08:28:37PM WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT IS A PRIVATE
08:28:40PM COMMUNITY SO WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT.
08:28:42PM OR YOU CAN DO, LIKE SCHOONER COVE DOES DOWN THE STREET AND
08:28:46PM PARK ALL ALONG SIDE THE INTERBAY.
08:28:50PM IF SOMEBODY HAS A PARTY, THEY HAVE CARS LINED UP, 15 TO 20
08:28:54PM TO 30 CARS LINED UP ON INTERBAY SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE
08:28:59PM ROAD.
08:28:59PM AND ONE OTHER THING, FEMA DOES NOT LIKE FILL DIRT.
08:29:03PM COASTAL ACTION AREA PLAN THAT COUNCILMAN CARLSON WILL ASK TO
08:29:11PM PUT ON THE AGENDA LATER CONTINUED ON.
08:29:12PM SAYS THAT FEMA DOES NOT LIKE FILL DIRT.
08:29:15PM THEY DO NOT LIKE FILL DIRT.
08:29:17PM YOU PUT ALL THESE ON STILTS, MAYBE A LITTLE BETTER IDEA.
08:29:21PM MAYBE MORE PERMEABLE SUR HAS IN HERE.
08:29:23PM BUT THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER.
08:29:26PM 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: CARROLL ANN BENNETT AND TODD RANDOLPH.
08:29:39PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: HI.
08:29:48PM MICHAEL FANNING?
08:29:49PM THANK YOU.
08:29:49PM ELAINE WESTBAY.
08:29:53PM THANK YOU.
08:29:53PM RANDY WESTBAY.
08:29:55PM RANDY WESTBAY.
08:29:59PM >> HE LEFT.
08:30:00PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: HE LEFT.
08:30:01PM ANDREW JOHNSON.
08:30:02PM >> HERE.
08:30:03PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU.
08:30:04PM ESTHER PORTELLA.
08:30:10PM ANNE PICKENS.
08:30:11PM DAWN HESTER.
08:30:13PM THANK YOU.
08:30:13PM AND MARY NEWMEYER.
08:30:15PM THANK YOU.
08:30:16PM ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN NAMES FOR A TOTAL OF
08:30:20PM 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
08:30:34PM SOUTH TAMPA.
08:30:34PM NEVER BEEN THE LAW THAT A LAND OWNER IS ENTITLED TO THE
08:30:37PM HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF HIS LAND.
08:30:39PM WE BELIEVE THAT BOTH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNED AND ZONING
08:30:42PM CLASSIFICATION ARE PRESUMPTIVELY VALID, AND THAT SEEKING A
08:30:46PM CHANGE IN EITHER CAN HAVE THE BURDEN OF SHOWING ITS
08:30:50PM INVALIDITY.
08:30:51PM WHAT THIS COMMUNITY WANTS IS FOR THE DEVELOPER TO ACCEPT
08:30:56PM THAT THEY BOUGHT AN UNIQUE HEAVILY WOODED PROPERTY THAT HAS
08:31:01PM WETLAND CONTINUE TO.
08:31:02PM THEY WANT THE DEVELOPER TO ACCEPT THAT THEY KNOWINGLY
08:31:05PM PURCHASED ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE LAND AND SHOULD BE
08:31:10PM DEVELOPED AS ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE LAND.
08:31:13PM DEVELOPMENT LIMITATIONS ARE THE REASON THAT THEY PAID LESS
08:31:17PM FOR THE SAME LAND WITHOUT THESE BARRIERS.
08:31:21PM THE COMMUNITY SUPPORTS DEVELOPMENT THAT RESPECTS REALITY,
08:31:25PM NOT WISHFUL THINKING.
08:31:26PM IF THEY REDUCE THE NUMBER OF UNITS THEY CAN PRESERVE THE
08:31:32PM WETLAND AND THE TREES.
08:31:33PM IF THEY BUILD THE TOWN HOMES THE WAY FEMA RECOMMENDS WITH
08:31:37PM OPEN FOUNDATIONS ON PIERS AND FOUNDATION LAW LOWER PREMIUM
08:31:45PM FOR FLOOD INSURANCE AND PROTECT THE SURROUNDING AREA NOR
08:31:47PM INCREASED FLOODING, AND WITHOUT ALL THAT FILL DIRT, THEY CAN
08:31:50PM EASILY SAVE MORE TREES.
08:31:51PM ALTHOUGH FEMA ALLOWS FILL DIRT TO ELEVATE STRUCTURES, THEY
08:31:56PM DON'T LIKE IT BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT PUSHES THE WATER
08:31:59PM SOMEWHERE ELSE.
08:31:59PM SO INSTEAD, THEY ACTUALLY GIVE YOU A DISCOUNT ON YOUR
08:32:02PM PREMIUM IT IS A BUILDING HAS AN OPEN FOUNDATION WITH PIERS,
08:32:07PM COLUMNS OR WALLS WITH OPENINGS SO WATER CAN FLOW UNDER THE
08:32:12PM HOUSE INSTEAD OF PUSHING IT ON TO A NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY
08:32:14PM CAUSING THEM MORE DAMAGE.
08:32:16PM COASTAL AREA ACTION PLAN THAT IS ALMOST FINISHED AND EXPERT
08:32:20PM COMPANIES CALLED CLARION DISCOURAGED BUILDING USING SLAB ON
08:32:24PM FILL AND INSTEAD ENCOURAGED FREE BOARD THAT ALLOWS WATER TO
08:32:28PM FLOW UNDER A BUILDING INCREASING PERMEABLE AREA.
08:32:32PM NO VESTED RIGHT UNDER FLORIDA LAW TO DEVELOP PROPERTY AT THE
08:32:38PM MAXIMUM DENSITY IN THE LAND USE CLASSIFICATION.
08:32:41PM TO HOLD OTHERWISE WOULD NEGATE THE ABILITY TO REQUIRE
08:32:46PM SET-ASIDES FOR WETLANDS, STORMWATER RETENTION,
08:32:51PM RIGHT-OF-WAYS, ETC.
08:32:52PM THE TREE REGULATIONS ARE NO DIFFERENT AND SHOULD BE IN DUE
08:32:55PM DILIGENCE CALCULATIONS PERFORMED BY A DEVELOPER FOR THE
08:32:58PM POTENTIAL DENSITY OF A SITE.
08:33:01PM 45 UNITS IS A MAXIMUM DENSITY IN R-10.
08:33:05PM NOT A MINIMUM.
08:33:06PM 45 UNITS IS A CEILING YOU CAN'T GO ABOVE.
08:33:10PM IT IS NOT A FLOOR THAT YOU CAN'T GO BELOW.
08:33:13PM THE ONLY ZONING ENTITLEMENT THAT THE OWNER HAS BY RIGHT
08:33:18PM IS RS-50.
08:33:21PM THEY CAN PULL PERMITS TOMORROW AND BUILD RS-50 HOMES.
08:33:26PM THAT IS WHAT THEY BOUGHT.
08:33:27PM THAT IS ACTUALLY WHAT THEY ARE ENTITLED TO.
08:33:30PM INSTEAD THEY SPECULATED ON A LAND DEAL, HOPING TO INCREASE
08:33:33PM THEIR PROFIT OF USING A PD TO CIRCUMVENT THE ZONING.
08:33:38PM THEY KNEW NO GUARANTEE THEY CAN EXCEEDING ZONING, CUT DOWN A
08:33:42PM GRAND OAK, CUT DOWN 80 TREES AND FILL IN A WETLAND.
08:33:46PM THEY HOPE THEY COULD.
08:33:49PM BECAUSE THEY WANT TO CHANGE A LAND INTO SOMETHING THEY
08:33:52PM DIDN'T PAY FOR DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY ARE ENTITLED TO IT.
08:33:55PM NOT OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE THEIR WISHES COME THROUGH.
08:33:58PM HOW MUCH PROFIT THEY MAKE IS NOT COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL
08:34:02PM EVIDENCE.
08:34:02PM UNDER FLORIDA LAW, A MERE ECONOMIC DISADVANTAGE TO
08:34:10PM OWNER'S PREFERENCE WHAT HE WOULD LIKE TO DO FOR THE PROPERTY
08:34:12PM IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR HOW HE HAS A HARDSHIP AND ENTITLING
08:34:15PM THE OWNER TO A VARIANCE.
08:34:18PM FLORIDA COURTS FIND HARDSHIP FOR VARIANCE WHERE THE PROPERTY
08:34:23PM A UNUSABLE AND INCAPABLE OF VALUABLE RETURN WITH ZONING
08:34:28PM REGULATIONS AND HARD HIP MUST RISE FROM THE ORIGINATE
08:34:36PM EXPECTATIONS OF ITS OWNERS.
08:34:38PM THIS YELLOW IS WETLAND ONE.
08:34:41PM THIS GREEN IS WETLAND TWO.
08:34:46PM THE EPC WAS SHOWN THESE TWO SEPARATE WETLANDS.
08:34:51PM KNOW WHAT THEY WEREN'T SHOWN, THAT THE WETLAND FLOWS THROUGH
08:34:54PM THIS PROPERTY MAKING IT ONE BIG WETLAND.
08:34:59PM THIS PROPERTY BELONGS TO THE CITY.
08:35:01PM AND CONTAINS ONE OF OUR WASTEWATER PUMPING STATIONS.
08:35:06PM THE WASTEWATER DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THIS STATION FLOODED
08:35:10PM DURING A HURRICANE AND LUCKILY WASN'T SO BAD THAT IT SHUT
08:35:13PM DOWN.
08:35:14PM 134 OTHER WASTEWATER STATIONS DID SHUT DOWN WHEN THEY
08:35:17PM FLOODED IN ADDITION TO THE 66 WASTEWATER STATIONS THAT
08:35:21PM STOPPED PUMPING BECAUSE THEY LOST POWER.
08:35:23PM THE CITY HAD TO ISSUE WARNINGS ASKING PEOPLE TO FLUSH THEIR
08:35:28PM TOILETS SPARING PEOPLE.
08:35:32PM PEOPLE HAD POO WATER IN THEIR STREETS AND HOMES.
08:35:35PM WHAT WILL HAPPEN W WHEN WETLAND ONE IS FILLED IN AND CAN NO
08:35:40PM LONGER ABSORB FLOODING.
08:35:42PM WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ALL THIS AREA -- I LOST MY PLACE -- HANG
08:35:46PM ON -- IS RAISED WITH 12 FEET WITH MOUNTAINS OF FILL DIRT.
08:35:49PM WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU APPROVE THIS.
08:35:51PM WE KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
08:35:54PM MORE WATER WILL FLOW INTO THE WASTEWATER STATION AND IT WILL
08:35:57PM FLOOD AND THIS TIME IT MIGHT SHUT DOWN.
08:35:59PM ACCORDING TO THE WASTEWATER DEPARTMENT, THEY MUST WAIT UNTIL
08:36:04PM THE STORMS ARE OVER, STREETS TO BE CLEARED AND FLOODWATERS
08:36:07PM TO RECEDE BEFORE THEY CAN SET UP A PORTABLE PUMP.
08:36:11PM HOW MANY HOURS OR DAY WILL THIS STATION BE ABLE TO PUMP
08:36:16PM WASTEWATER.
08:36:16PM IS THAT SMART GROWTH?
08:36:19PM EVERY YEAR, TREES SAVE TAMPA $4.9 MILLION IN AVOIDING
08:36:25PM STORMWATER RUNOFF.
08:36:26PM THAT IS ANNUALLY.
08:36:27PM IN LIGHT OF THE CATASTROPHIC FLOODING WE JUST HAD, THE WORST
08:36:31PM THING THE CITY CAN DO FILL IN THE WET ALEXANDRIA, CUT DOWN
08:36:35PM TO 80 TREES, CUT DOWN A LIVE OAK, BRING IN FILL DIRT AND
08:36:41PM REROUTE WATER FLOWS.
08:36:42PM FRIENDS OF THE RIVER, THE SIERRA CLUB, THE TAMPA TREE
08:36:45PM ADVOCACY GROUP AND HUNDREDS OF RESIDENTS OPPOSE THIS.
08:36:48PM PRESERVE THE WETLAND THAT ABSORB AND FILTER WATER.
08:36:51PM DENY THE TREE WAIVERS.
08:36:53PM FOLLOWING FEMA RECOMMENDATIONS AND BUILD ON PIERS INSTEAD OF
08:37:00PM FILL DIRT.
08:37:00PM IN OTHER WORDS, DEVELOPMENT THIS ENVIRONMENTALLY IMPORTANT
08:37:07PM PROPERTY RESPONSIBLY.
08:37:07PM THEY CAN DO THAT BY REDUCING THE NUMBER OF UNITS PROVIDE
08:37:11PM PROTECTION FROM INCREASED FLOODING AND PROVIDE COMMUNITY
08:37:14PM SUPPORT.
08:37:14PM THAT IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF SMART GROWTH.
08:37:17PM THANK YOU.
08:37:17PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU, TODD RANDOLPH.
08:37:22PM YES, SIR, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
08:37:34PM >> I AM TODD RANDOLPH AND A RESIDENT OF TAMPA AND AN ACTIVE
08:37:38PM MEMBER OF THE LOCAL SIERRA CLUB TAMPA BAY GROUP.
08:37:42PM MODEL MOTTO OF SIERRA CLUB IS EXPLORE, ENJOY AND PROTECT.
08:37:47PM THE MAIN CONCERNS OF THE REZONING IS THE REDUCED CLIMATE
08:37:50PM RESILIENCY, THE LOSS OF TREE CANOPY.
08:37:53PM WE SHOULD CONSIDER WHAT IS LOST AND OVERDEVELOPED ON THE
08:37:56PM RIVER.
08:37:56PM THE RIVER IS A JEWEL OF THIS CITY YOU CAN IMMERSE YOURSELF
08:38:02PM IN NATURE ALONG PARTS OF RIVER.
08:38:04PM EVERYONE CAN.
08:38:05PM IT IS A GREAT PUBLIC SPACE.
08:38:07PM AND WE SHOULD EXPLORE ENJOY AND PROTECT AS MUCH AS WE CAN OF
08:38:12PM TAMPA'S SPECIAL PLACES THAT OFFER OPPORTUNITY TO EVERYONE.
08:38:17PM I AM FOR THE COUNCIL TO DENY THIS REZONING IN OUR NEED FOR
08:38:22PM ENHANCED CLIMATE RESILIENCY AND THE NEED TO MAINTAIN THE
08:38:26PM SPECIAL CHARMS OF THIS CITY THAT MAKE TAMPA SUCH A GREAT
08:38:32PM PLACE TO LIVE.
08:38:33PM THANKS.
08:38:33PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
08:38:37PM REBUTTAL.
08:38:38PM YOU HAVE YOUR REBUTTAL TIME, BUT THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF
08:38:45PM TIME LEFT OVER THERE.
08:38:49PM I THINK EIGHT HOURS -- EIGHT HOURS, I WISH.
08:38:51PM EIGHT MINUTES -- EIGHT MINUTES AND 23 SECONDS
08:38:54PM BUT GIVEN THAT WE SORT OF LISTEN TO AN HOUR AND A HALF, IF
08:38:58PM YOU CAN EXTEND THAT TO 12 MINUTES FOR US, I WOULD GREATLY
08:39:01PM APPRECIATE IT.
08:39:02PM FIVE PLUS THE THREE MINUTES IS EIGHT MINUTES AND -- THE
08:39:08PM 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.
08:39:21PM FIRST THING I WANT TO DO IS HIT TRANSPORTATION.
08:39:23PM ASK OUR TRANSPORTATION CONSULTANT, MICHAEL YATES, TO COME UP
08:39:27PM AND TALK VERY QUICKLY OF THE TRANSPORTATION ISSUE AND
08:39:29PM SPECIFICALLY WHAT THE NEIGHBORS ARE OBSERVING AT THE LIGHT
08:39:32PM AT HILLSBOROUGH AND ROME.
08:39:33PM AND WE NEED THE PRESENTATION, SORRY IF YOU CAN PAUSE THE
08:39:37PM 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
08:39:46PM POINT.
08:39:46PM THANK YOU.
08:39:47PM >> GOOD EVENING, MICHAEL YATES WITH PALM TRAFFIC, AND I HAVE
08:39:52PM BEEN SWORN.
08:39:52PM COUPLE OF THINGS.
08:39:53PM ONE OF THE COMMENTS WE RECEIVED WAS THAT THE COUNTS WERE
08:39:55PM DONE ON VETERANS DAY.
08:39:57PM ACTUALLY THE COUNTS WERE DONE ON NOVEMBER 1.
08:40:01PM NOVEMBER 11, THE DATE THEY SAW IN THE ANALYSIS WAS THE DAY
08:40:07PM WE WERE DOING THE ANALYSIS AND WESTERN ACTUALLY WORKING ON
08:40:10PM VETERANS DAY.
08:40:11PM COUNTS WERE DONE ON NOVEMBER 1, AND SEASONALLY ADJUSTED TO
08:40:16PM DONE PER THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CITY REQUIREMENTS.
08:40:19PM THE SECOND PART WAS RELATED TO ELISE IS GOING THERE.
08:40:26PM >> THEY JUST TOOK IT OFF.
08:40:28PM >> THERE YOU GO.
08:40:30PM ONE MORE.
08:40:30PM THIS IS THE INTERSECTION THERE AT HILLSBOROUGH AND ROME.
08:40:34PM COMMENTS WE RECEIVED RELATED TO THE QUEUEING AT THE
08:40:37PM INTERSECTION.
08:40:38PM YEAH, WHAT THEY OBSERVED IS CORRECT THAT THERE IS NO
08:40:42PM SOUTHBOUND OR NORTHBOUND LEFT-TURN SIGNAL.
08:40:45PM AND D.O.T. IS CONTROLLING THE GREEN TIME TO ROME TO ENHANCE
08:40:50PM THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON HILLSBOROUGH.
08:40:54PM THAT IS YOUR SEEING THAT.
08:40:55PM CITY CAN WORK WITH THE D.O.T. TO ADD A PROTECTED LEFT TURN
08:41:03PM FACE TO ROME AND ADD ADDITIONAL GREEN TIME WHICH WILL
08:41:06PM GREATLY IMPROVE THE OPERATION, BUT AS WE DEMONSTRATED IN OUR
08:41:10PM ANALYSIS, IT OPERATES AT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF SERVICE AND
08:41:13PM ALL THE INTERSECTIONS RUN AT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF SERVICE.
08:41:16PM >> MICHAEL, YOUR PROFESSIONAL OPINION THAT WHAT THEY SEE
08:41:20PM BACKING UP IS AN OPERATIONAL ISSUE FOR THE INTERSECTION
08:41:23PM WRATH THEIR AN CAPACITY OR ANYTHING RELATED TO THE TRIPS OF
08:41:25PM THE DEVELOPMENT?
08:41:26PM >> THAT'S CORRECT.
08:41:27PM >> THANK YOU.
08:41:28PM SO MUCH OF WHAT WE HEARD TONIGHT FALLS INTO TWO CATEGORIES.
08:41:35PM ONE IS PERMITTING.
08:41:37PM SO MUCH THAT WE STILL HAVE TO DO IN PERMITTING WITH RESPECT
08:41:40PM TO STORMWATER, WILDLIFE, WETLAND, LIFT STATIONS.
08:41:44PM NONE OF THAT IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT AND WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH
08:41:47PM ALL OF THE PROCESSES AND GET ALL OF THE APPROVALS.
08:41:50PM A LOT OF MISINFORMATION I WANT TO CLARIFY ON THE RECORD.
08:41:53PM PART OF THAT MISINFORMATION CAME FROM -- WE HAD A DIALOGUE
08:41:57PM FOR THE NEIGHBORS UNTIL THEY APPEALED AND WE WERE IN LEGAL
08:42:00PM PROCEEDINGS AND THAT BROKE DOWN.
08:42:01PM WE HAVE MODIFIED OUR PLAN SIGNIFICANTLY WITH WHAT THEY HAVE
08:42:06PM SEEN.
08:42:06PM NEXT THING I WANT TO ADDRESS IS STORMWATER.
08:42:08PM AGAIN, A PERMITTING ISSUE.
08:42:10PM WE CAN NOT BUILD UNLESS WE MEET THE REQUIREMENTS.
08:42:13PM BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU AND THE NEIGHBORS COMFORT.
08:42:15PM WE HAVE REDESIGNED THE EVEN TIRE EASTERN PORTION OF THE SITE
08:42:21PM CLOISTER TO THE RIVER.
08:42:21PM STILTED ALL SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ALONG THE RIVER.
08:42:24PM WE ACTUALLY COMMISSIONED THE FLOOD RESISTANT DEVELOPMENT
08:42:28PM ASSESSMENT WHICH IS NOT REQUIRED BUT WE DID TO SHOW STAFF
08:42:31PM AND THE COMMUNITY THAT THE ASSESSMENT REQUIRES BASICALLY A
08:42:36PM GO THROUGH AND SAYS EVERYWHERE THAT IT IS APPROPRIATE TO
08:42:39PM PLACE FILL.
08:42:40PM WE ARE FOLLOWING THAT ASSESSMENT AND YOU WILL SEE THAT WHEN
08:42:43PM WE GO THROUGH PERMITTING.
08:42:45PM WILDLIFE.
08:42:46PM WE HEARD A LOT SPOKEN OF WILDLIFE.
08:42:49PM ALSO A PERMITTING ISSUE.
08:42:51PM IT IS EVALUATED BY S.W.F.W.M.D.
08:42:53PM EVALUATED BY THE FISH AND WILDLIFE, AND GET AN ENVIRONMENTAL
08:42:58PM PERMIT AS PART OF THIS APPLICATION.
08:43:01PM WE HAVE TO WORK MODIFICATIONS AND MITIGATION IN OUR PLAN OR
08:43:06PM WE CAN NOT GO.
08:43:06PM WETLAND.
08:43:08PM TWO WETLAND ON-SITE AS YOU KNOW.
08:43:10PM ONE IS A HIGHER QUALITY WETLAND THAT WE ARE PRESERVING.
08:43:14PM ONE IS LOWER QUALITY WETLAND.
08:43:18PM THAT ISSUE IS ASKED AND ANSWERED.
08:43:19PM WE HAVE GONE TO HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY EPC.
08:43:22PM MANY OF THE NEIGHBORS APPEALED THAT DECISION.
08:43:24PM IT HAS GONE THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS AND FINALLY COMPLETED
08:43:29PM ADJUDICATED.
08:43:31PM THE WETLAND IMPACTS UPHELD BY THE COUNTY'S EPC.
08:43:35PM THAT IS ALREADY DONE AND NOT AN ISSUE THAT IS BEFORE YOU
08:43:38PM TONIGHT.
08:43:38PM I DO WANT TO TALK OF ONE PROVISION IN THE COMP PLAN THAT
08:43:41PM TALKS OF WETLAND IMPACTS.
08:43:44PM TECHNICAL EXPERTS FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND OUR
08:43:46PM EXPERT HAS SAID THAT THE PROPOSED PD HAS BEEN DESIGNED
08:43:50PM CONSISTENT WITH THE WETLAND IMPACT APPROVALS AND LISTED OUT
08:43:53PM 11 DIFFERENT POLICIES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT OUR
08:43:56PM WETLAND IMPACT IS CONSISTENT WITH.
08:44:00PM TREE WAIVERS.
08:44:01PM I HAVE DOCUMENTATION TO SUBMIT TO THE RECORD.
08:44:03PM KEVIN WILL FIND WHERE I PUT IT.
08:44:05PM WE WENT IN AND REVIEWED EVERY SINGLE ZONING YOU GUYS LOOKED
08:44:11PM AT OVER THE LAST 16 MONTHS.
08:44:13PM 20% OF THOSE APPROVALS WERE THOSE REZONINGS INCLUDED TREE
08:44:18PM WAIVERS.
08:44:19PM EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS APPROVED EXCEPT FOR SELLBORN WHICH WAS
08:44:24PM SEVEN GRAND TREES, LIVE OAKS BEING DEMOLISHED.
08:44:27PM THAT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
08:44:29PM SPECIFICALLY EVERY SINGLE TREE REQUEST THAT NATURAL
08:44:33PM RESOURCES FOUND CONSISTENT WAS BEEN APPROVED BY THIS BOARD.
08:44:36PM THE TREE CODE IS OBVIOUSLY MEANT FOR OUR URBAN TAMPA
08:44:40PM ENVIRONMENT AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE THAT WITH A
08:44:45PM FULLY WOODED SITE.
08:44:46PM WE HAVE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND TO TRY TO PRESERVE THE
08:44:50PM MULTITUDE OF TREES INCLUDING FIVE OF THE SIX NONHAZARDOUS
08:44:54PM AND EVEN SAVING ONE TREE THAT IS HAZARDOUS BUT WE WANT TO
08:44:58PM KEEP IT FOR THE WILDLIFE.
08:45:00PM WE WANT TO GO SPECIFICALLY INTO ADDRESSING CONCERNS.
08:45:03PM A LOT OF MISINFORMATION.
08:45:04PM THE FRIENDS OF THE RIVER -- SORRY, I DON'T REMEMBER HIS NAME.
08:45:08PM 14 DOCKS.
08:45:10PM NOT 14 DOCKS ON THIS SITE SINCE EARLY 2023.
08:45:14PM AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE WE MAY ASK FOR THREE DOCKS FOR
08:45:17PM THE THREE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ALONG THE RIVER.
08:45:20PM THAT WILL COME LATER.
08:45:21PM WHILE I APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION ABOUT ALL OF THESE
08:45:26PM APARTMENT APPROVALS.
08:45:27PM THIS IS NOT A APARTMENT APPROVAL.
08:45:29PM A TOWN HALL APPROVAL AND A SINGLE-FAMILY ALONG THE RIVER
08:45:33PM APPROVAL.
08:45:33PM THEY FOCUSSED ON POLICY 3.1.1.
08:45:37PM YOUR STAFF HAS ALREADY SAID THIS MEETS THE RIVERFRONT
08:45:41PM POLICIES THAT WERE QUOTED.
08:45:43PM SEVERAL OF THE NEIGHBORS FOCUSED ON THE HARDENED SHORELINE.
08:45:47PM WE ACTUALLY DID A NUMBER OF THINGS, RIGHT.
08:45:49PM WE MOVED ALL OF THE RETAINING WALLS FAR BACK FROM THIS
08:45:52PM FIVE-FOOT ELEVATION SO THAT WHERE HE WEREN'T HARDENING THE
08:45:57PM SHORELINE.
08:45:58PM ADDED MANY ADDITIONAL TREES AND A SPARK SPACE AROUND THE
08:46:01PM RIVER.
08:46:02PM STILTED EACH OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ALL TO PROTECT THE
08:46:05PM INTEGRITY OF THAT RIVERFRONT.
08:46:07PM WE TALKED A LOT OF FLOODING AGAIN FLOODING AND STORMWATER
08:46:11PM ARE PERMITTING ISSUES.
08:46:13PM WE HAVE TO COMPLY WITH ALL OF THE REGULATIONS FROM
08:46:19PM S.W.F.W.M.D. AND THE CITY OF TAMPA STUDY THAT FEMA
08:46:22PM DOESN'T LIKE FILL.
08:46:23PM IT IS TRUE THAT FEMA DOESN'T LIKE FILL FOR RIVERINE AREA.
08:46:28PM THIS IS NOT A RIVERINE AREA.
08:46:31PM TIDALLY IN AREA AND THAT STUDY IT YOU NOT APPLY TO THIS SITE
08:46:37PM AS WELL.
08:46:37PM I HEARD A LOT ABOUT GARAGES AND PARKING.
08:46:40PM WE MEET EVERY REQUIREMENT OF THE COULD CODE.
08:46:43PM WE MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR GARAGES.
08:46:44PM WE MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR PARKING AND DESIGNED THEM IN
08:46:47PM ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE.
08:46:50PM WE HAVE SPENT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AND RESOURCES
08:46:56PM OVER FOUR YEARS -- WELL, WE TOUCHED FOUR YEARS.
08:47:01PM TWO AND A HALF.
08:47:03PM EVERY TIME STAFF IN A QUESTION ON THIS APPLICATION, JAY MIZE
08:47:07PM AND DAN SEFAIR THE DEVELOPER SAID LET'S GET ANOTHER STUDY.
08:47:11PM LET'S CHANGE THE PLAN.
08:47:12PM LET'S ADDRESS CONCERN.
08:47:15PM EVERY SINGLE STEP OF THE WAY.
08:47:17PM YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE WITH CONSISTENCY EVERY SINGLE
08:47:20PM DEPARTMENT HAS FOUND THIS CONSISTENT.
08:47:21PM WE HAVE WORKED TIRELESSLY.
08:47:23PM WE ARE EXHAUSTED OF THIS PROJECT TO BE HONEST AND YOUR STAFF
08:47:26PM IS EXHAUSTED TOO.
08:47:27PM AND I HAVE ABOUT AN LAND USE ATTORNEY SINCE 1997.
08:47:31PM THIS APPLICATION HAS TAKEN LONGER TO GET TO YOU THAN ANY
08:47:35PM OTHER APPLICATION IN THE CITY OF TAMPA THAT I HAVE EVER BEEN
08:47:38PM INVOLVED WITH.
08:47:38PM WE HAVE REALLY TRIED ON THIS APPLICATION.
08:47:42PM AND IF HE FEEL LIKE WE HAVE -- WE HAVE A THOUGHTFULLY
08:47:45PM DESIGNED PROJECT THAT WILL BE A TREASURE AS THE LADY WHO
08:47:49PM CAME UP HERE SAID, THIS IS GOING TO BE A FUTURE GEM.
08:47:53PM I REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD CONSIDER REQUEST NOR
08:47:56PM APPROVAL.
08:47:57PM AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE HAVE ALL OF OUR EXPERTS,
08:48:04PM CIVIL ENGINEERS HERE.
08:48:05PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
08:48:09PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU.
08:48:10PM YOU SAID PARK-LIGHT SETTING ALONG THE RIVER.
08:48:12PM IS THERE RIVER ACCESS TO THE PUBLIC?
08:48:16PM RIVER ACCESS TO THE RESIDENTS?
08:48:19PM 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
08:48:32PM TO THE RIVER.
08:48:33PM NOT JUST THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
08:48:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ALONG THE RIVER IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE
08:48:37PM COMPLEX.
08:48:38PM >> CORRECT.
08:48:39PM NOT A PUBLIC PARK, BUT ALL OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE
08:48:42PM DEVELOPMENT, TOWN HOME OR SINGLE-FAMILY HAVE ACCESS, YES.
08:48:45PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: AND I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT -- I GUESS
08:48:52PM THIS WOULD BE FOR STAFF.
08:48:53PM SO -- I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION.
08:48:59PM I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL WATCHED THIS COUNCIL DISCUSS GARAGE
08:49:04PM WIDTHS AND LENGTHS OVER AD NAUSEAM.
08:49:08PM TALK -- YOU SAID YOU ARE EXHAUSTED BY THE PROJECT, BUT I AM
08:49:12PM EXHAUSTED BY GARAGE WIDTH AND LENGTHS.
08:49:16PM THIS IS COMPLETELY NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH WHAT WE HAVE
08:49:19PM ADDRESSED AS FAR AS -- ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO PDs OF
08:49:22PM GARAGE WIDTHS AND LENGTHS.
08:49:24PM SO I AM KIND OF SHOCKED THAT YOU CAME BEFORE US, BECAUSE --
08:49:29PM LITERALLY, IT WAS FUNNY BECAUSE PRIOR TO ONE OF THE PEOPLE
08:49:32PM FROM THE PUBLIC WHO CAME UP HERE TALKING OF WIDTHS, I
08:49:36PM GOOGLED THE WIDTH OF MY CAR TO SEE IF I CAN FIT IT.
08:49:41PM I COULDN'T GET OUT OF MY CAR IN THE GARAGE.
08:49:44PM I COULD NOT PARK MY CAR IN YOUR GARAGE AND GET OUT OF MY
08:49:48PM CAR.
08:49:48PM I AM JUST KIND OF A LITTLE SURPRISED THAT YOU CAME BEFORE US
08:49:51PM KNOWING HOW MANY TIMES WE DISCUSSED THAT.
08:49:52PM >> I DIDN'T HEAR THAT PARTICULAR DISCUSSION, BUT WE DID
08:49:55PM DESIGN ALL OF THESE PROJECTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CODE
08:50:00PM THAT YOU ARE REVIEWING TODAY.
08:50:02PM YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO IN AND CHANGE THAT
08:50:06PM CODE BUT AGAIN, NO INDICATION FROM STAFF WE SHOULD CHANGE
08:50:12PM 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.
08:50:26PM ONLY THING THEY HAVE TO MEET THE PARKING, TWO 9 X 13
08:50:36PM SPACE ON THE CODE.
08:50:37PM NOT ANYTHING --
08:50:38PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ONE OF OUR PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS WITH THIS
08:50:40PM COUNCIL WHEN WE -- WE SPOKE ABOUT GARAGE WIDTHS AND LENGTH.
08:50:46PM WHERE WAS THAT LEFT?
08:50:47PM I KNOW WE LEFT IT WITH STEVEN.
08:50:49PM 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.
08:50:57PM AGAIN, THIS IS A PD.
08:50:59PM AND IT IS PUT AN AWFUL LOT OF DEVELOPMENT ON ONE PARCEL AND
08:51:07PM TRYING TO BALANCE THESE THINGS OUT.
08:51:09PM I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT RIPRAP.
08:51:11PM SOMEBODY -- A STAFF THAT IS A SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT ON THE
08:51:15PM RIVER DEVELOPMENT.
08:51:16PM ANYBODY HERE FROM STAFF THAT UNDERSTANDS THAT?
08:51:21PM OKAY.
08:51:21PM SO WE WILL DEPEND ON TESTIMONY THAT WAS PROVIDED.
08:51:25PM OKAY.
08:51:26PM SO I CONCUR -- AS CONCERNED I AM ABOUT THE WETLAND, THE
08:51:36PM QUESTION WAS ASKED AND ANSWERED.
08:51:37PM NOT BEFORE US TODAY BECAUSE THE QUESTION WAS ASKED AND
08:51:41PM ANSWERED BY ANOTHER GOVERNMENT BODY.
08:51:43PM FOR THOSE PROVIDED THE TESTIMONY -- SOME OF THESE OTHER
08:51:47PM ISSUES CAN ENTER INTO OUR DISCUSSION, BUT IN MY OPINION,
08:51:50PM THAT QUESTION WAS ASKED ANSWERED AND THE DOCK QUESTION IS
08:51:53PM NOT BEFORE US BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE FOR A SUBSEQUENT MEETING
08:51:56PM FOR FUTURE DISCUSSION.
08:51:57PM BUT I WILL DEFER THE REST OF THIS TO MY OTHER
08:52:02PM COUNCILPERSONS.
08:52:03PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA AND HURTAK.
08:52:05PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
08:52:07PM JUST SPEAKING IN GENERAL TERMS.
08:52:09PM YEAH, YOU CAN -- YOU CAN ADDRESS EVERYTHING TO THE CODE.
08:52:13PM SO IF THE CODE WORKS PERFECT, HOW COME A LOT OF HOUSES
08:52:17PM FLOODED IN TAMPA THAT WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE FLOODED?
08:52:20PM I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER.
08:52:22PM WHEN I LOOK AROUND AND I SEE THAT THE PERSON THAT GOT THE
08:52:28PM LETTER.
08:52:28PM NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT IT FLOODED.
08:52:30PM THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE PARK CALLED ROME AND SLIGH, I
08:52:34PM BELIEVE.
08:52:34PM THEY HAD SOME PROBLEMS ALSO.
08:52:38PM THIS PROPERTY -- I AM GOING BACK IN HISTORY IN MY MIND I GOT
08:52:44PM TO STRETCH IT OUT TO MID-70s OR SO OVER 46 YEARS AGO AND I
08:52:50PM REMEMBER THE GENTLEMAN WHO OWNED THIS PROPERTY OR RIGHT NEXT
08:52:53PM TO IT, A CLUB CLOSE BY AND A RESIDENTIAL PROJECT AND I
08:52:58PM FORGOT HIS NAME AND I REMEMBER WHAT HE OWNED.
08:53:00PM DIXIE NEON SIGN AND COMPANY IN PALMETTO BEACH.
08:53:04PM THAT IS THE GUY WHO OWNED THAT PROPERTY I BELIEVE WAY BACK.
08:53:07PM HE WAS A VERY STRAIGHT GUY.
08:53:09PM NOT THAT ANYBODY IS NOT STRAIGHT.
08:53:10PM DON'T GET ME WRONG.
08:53:12PM AND I MET EDDIE CABELLERO RUNNING FOR OFFICE IN 1979.
08:53:18PM I WALKED WITH HIM DOWN ROME ALL THE WAY TO SLIGH AND A
08:53:22PM MOM-AND-POP STORE A COUPLE OF BLOCKS NORTH.
08:53:24PM AND WE STOPPED THERE AND WHEN THAT YOUNG LADY CAME UP -- I
08:53:28PM FORGOT HER NAME, LINDA, I THINK IT WAS.
08:53:33PM YOUR FAMILY OR YOUR FATHER HAD PROPERTY RIGHT BEHIND YOU.
08:53:35PM I KNOW IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS ZONING.
08:53:38PM I REMEMBER STOPPING AT A LITTLE STORE JUST ABOUT TWO OR
08:53:41PM THREE BLOCKS, FOUR BLOCKS SOUTH OF SLIGH.
08:53:45PM AND WHEN YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT ALL THAT AND YOU GO BACK
08:53:49PM AND UNDERSTAND A ANOTHER IN TAMPA.
08:53:57PM YOU MAKE A RIVERSIDE DRIVE.
08:54:00PM I HAD MANY FRIEND THERE.
08:54:02PM YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN THERE AND MLK?
08:54:05PM EVERY ONE OF THEM FLOODED.
08:54:06PM JUST TO THE EAST -- EXCUSE ME, JUST TO THE WEST OF THAT ON A
08:54:11PM HIGH HILL I HAVE FRIENDS THAT LIVED THERE.
08:54:14PM THEY HAD FLOODING.
08:54:16PM NOT LIKE THE ONES ON THE RIVER.
08:54:17PM THOSE IN THE RIVER THIS THREE OR FOUR FEET OF FLOODING I AM
08:54:25PM JUST LOOKING AT THIS AND I KNOW WHAT THE CODE SAYS AND I
08:54:28PM UNDERSTAND THAT.
08:54:29PM THE CODE IS SOMETHING ON PAPER.
08:54:31PM WE WENT THROUGH HELL ON TWO STORMS AND NOT ONLY THE STORMS,
08:54:34PM BUT FIVE INCHES BEFORE THE STORMS.
08:54:36PM FIVE INCHES BETWEEN THE TWO STORMS, AND FIVE INCHES AFTER
08:54:39PM THE STORM.
08:54:40PM SO PLACES IN TAMPA THAT NEVER GOT FLOODED G, Y.
08:54:48PM NEVER GOING TO FLOOD HERE.
08:54:49PM BUT THEY FLOODED.
08:54:51PM OPINION I DON'T KNOW AT WHAT TIME CODE IS GOING TO SAY WHEN
08:54:54PM IT CHANGES, BUT IT BETTER HAVE THINGS THAT ARE DIFFERENT OR
08:54:59PM I WILL NOT SUPPORT IT.
08:54:59PM I AM TALKING RIGHT TO MYSELF REALLY AND SAYING TO MYSELF,
08:55:06PM YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING WITH SOLAR.
08:55:10PM EVERYTHING TO TRY TO FIX THE ENVIRONMENT.
08:55:14PM YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET WHAT YOU WANT BY DOING THE THINGS
08:55:16PM YOU DO NORMALLY IN IF THE LAST 100 YEARS.
08:55:21PM IT DOES NOT WORK ANY LONGER.
08:55:22PM [APPLAUSE]
08:55:24PM NO.
08:55:25PM [GAVEL SOUNDING]
08:55:27PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AM NOT HERE TO GET APPLAUDED OR BOOED.
08:55:30PM I'M HERE TO SAY I GOT A JOB TO DO TONIGHT AND BASE IT ON
08:55:34PM WHAT HI HEARD AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE AND CALL IT WHATEVER
08:55:37PM YOU WANT TO CALL IT, BUT THE REALITY IS, THAT NO ONE REALLY
08:55:44PM KNOWS.
08:55:44PM I CAN'T TELL IF YOU THERE IS GOING TO BE A STORM TOMORROW.
08:55:48PM BUT I CAN TELL YOU THIS.
08:55:50PM JUST LOOK AT THE WHOLE COUNTRY.
08:55:53PM LOOK AT THE NORTH.
08:55:54PM HAD NORMAL AMOUNT OF SNOW.
08:55:55PM LOOK AT THE FAR WEST.
08:55:57PM NORMAL AMOUNT -- NOT NOW.
08:55:59PM NOT THESE FIRE FIGHTERS -- FIRE FIGHTERS EVERY MONTH UP
08:56:03PM THERE ALL THE WAY FROM CALIFORNIA TO WASHINGTON.
08:56:04PM IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THAT'S POSSIBLE, BUT THOSE THINGS ARE
08:56:10PM HAPPENING ALL AT ONCE.
08:56:12PM BUT THEY ARE.
08:56:13PM THOSE ARE JUST EXAMPLES OF NATURE TELLING US STOP DOING WHAT
08:56:16PM YOU ARE DOING.
08:56:17PM IT DOESN'T WORK.
08:56:18PM I, FOR ONE, AM NOT AN ENVIRONMENTALIST, I DON'T SAY I AM.
08:56:26PM FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITY TO HAVE SOLAR, DRIVE A
08:56:30PM ELECTRIC CAR OR HYBRID, TO NOT HAVE GRASS.
08:56:33PM AND TO DO DIFFERENT THINGS.
08:56:34PM YOU KNOW WHY I SAY THAT?
08:56:36PM BECAUSE THIS NONENVIRONMENTALIST HAS IT.
08:56:39PM SO WHAT I AM SAYING IS WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER FOR THE SAKE
08:56:50PM OF OUR ENVIRONMENT.
08:56:51PM WITHOUT THE ENVIRONMENT -- I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO, IT IS
08:56:55PM NOT GOING TO WORK ANYMORE.
08:56:57PM NO MORE TRICKS TO PULL OR NO MORE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
08:57:05PM IT DOESN'T WORK ANY LONGER.
08:57:06PM THINGS WE ARE WRESTLING WITH WAY BEFORE THE STORMS CAME.
08:57:11PM MY ELECTRIC BILLS HAVE BEEN NO MORE THAN $27 A MONTH.
08:57:15PM I WILL SAY THAT AGAIN, $27 A MONTH.
08:57:18PM IT PAY FOR ITSELF.
08:57:21PM IT IS A DIFFICULT THING TO HAVE AND I LOOK AT THESE THINGS.
08:57:27PM ALL THE NOTES I HAVE TAKEN, BUT IT COMES TO NOT ABOUT JUST
08:57:34PM BUILDING SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF.
08:57:38PM YOU ARE BUILDING FOR OTHERS THAT ARE HURTING OTHER
08:57:44PM INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY.
08:57:45PM AND I AM NOT TALKING SPECIFICALLY THIS.
08:57:50PM A HINDRANCE.
08:57:51PM RIVER AT THE DAM SUPPOSED TO PUT 15 MILLION GALLON TO HELP
08:57:57PM NATURE FEED THE CREATURES THAT ARE THERE.
08:58:00PM WE ARE ALL FOR IT.
08:58:01PM WHEN THE STORM OPENS, WE OPEN THE GATE BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT
08:58:04PM TO GET FLOODING, CONTAMINATION INSIDE THE PLANT WHERE WE
08:58:07PM SUPPLY THE WATER BILLIONS OF WATERS GOING TO THE DAM.
08:58:13PM THAT WATER WILL NOT GO NORTH.
08:58:15PM IT WILL GO SOUTH.
08:58:16PM WHAT HAPPENS THEN?
08:58:20PM THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT NEVER PUT IN
08:58:28PM WRITING BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENED.
08:58:29PM THIS ONE HAPPENED AND ITS NOT GOING TO GET ANY BETTER.
08:58:32PM YOU LOOK AT THE TALL BUILDINGS IN MIAMI BEACH AND NOT BUILT
08:58:35PM IN THE TURN OF THE CENTURY 1200 YEARS AGO.
08:58:38PM BUT BUILT RECENTLY.
08:58:40PM IT IS A CHANGE THAT WE HAVE TO FOLLOW IF YOU WANT TO -- TO
08:58:45PM CALL IT SURVIVAL OF A SPECIES.
08:58:47PM IT IS GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE AND CHANGE QUICKLY AND NOT
08:58:57PM GOING TO WORK THE WAY WE DO THINGS.
08:58:59PM I AM WAITING TO LISTEN TO SEE WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY, BUT A
08:59:02PM VERY DIFFICULT THING WHEN I SEE THIS TYPE OF PLAN PUTTING
08:59:05PM THIS AMOUNT OF ASPHALT.
08:59:08PM PUTTING THIS KIND OF ENERGY WHERE WEST TAMPA ALONE ON
08:59:13PM MacDILL AND HIDER.
08:59:16PM IT HAS BEEN FIXED FIVE TIMES AND A BIG DIP COMPARED TO MR.
08:59:21PM CARLSON -- I AM NOT CALLING MR. CARLSON A BIG DIP.
08:59:24PM FROM HERE TO HIM UNDERSTAND THAT.
08:59:26PM HE IS A LITTLE BIGGER THAN ME.
08:59:28PM WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY WHEN YOU FIX IT, BECAUSE IT USED TO
08:59:31PM BE A CREEK CALLED BENECHE CREEK THAT WENT OVER TO THE RIVER.
08:59:35PM SAME THING TO MacDILL AND DOUGLAS.
08:59:38PM WE FIXED THAT ONE FOUR TIMES.
08:59:40PM YOU FIX IT.
08:59:41PM HALF A YEAR LATER OR YEAR LATER YOU HAVE TO FIX IT AGAIN
08:59:44PM BECAUSE THE WATER IS RUNNING UNDER GROUND WHEN WE DON'T SEE
08:59:47PM IT EAST TO THE RIVER.
08:59:48PM THOSE THINGS ARE NOT NORMAL, BUT THEY ARE THERE.
08:59:53PM SO WHATEVER HERE HAPPENS, HAPPENS.
08:59:58PM I AM SURE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER WILL BE WORKED OUT, MAYBE.
09:00:03PM HOWEVER, LET ME SAY ONE THING.
09:00:05PM IF I HAVE TO CHECK OUT WHAT COUNCIL SAID OR VOTE FOR THE
09:00:10PM LAST 20 YEARS, I KNEW I WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM GOING IN.
09:00:14PM THEY TAUGHT THAT AT JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL.
09:00:17PM THINGS I LOOK AT.
09:00:18PM I UNDERSTAND YOU COME FROM A GREAT LAW FIRM WITH A GREAT
09:00:21PM HISTORY.
09:00:22PM STEARNS, WEAVER AND MILLER IS TOP OF THE LINE.
09:00:24PM BUT DOESN'T MEAN THAT EVERYTHING HAPPENS THAT SHOULD NOT
09:00:26PM HAPPEN OR SHOULDN'T HAND THAT DOES HAPPEN IT IS VERY
09:00:31PM CONFUSING TO BE UP HERE AND LISTEN EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TO
09:00:34PM TAKE IN FROM SO MANY VIEWS AND OPERATIONS AND FIGURE OUT
09:00:37PM WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG BECAUSE INSTANTANEOUSLY YOU
09:00:48PM KNOW BE WRONG.
09:00:49PM YOU MAY BE RIGHT.
09:00:50PM WE ARE HEARING THESE CASE AND WRITING OF THE LAWS OF RULES
09:00:57PM AND REGULATION.
09:00:58PM IF IT DOESN'T HAVE A SOLAR PART IN IT, I AM NOT GOING TO
09:01:01PM VOTE FOR IT.
09:01:02PM I AM NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR ANYTHING NOT ENVIRONMENTALLY NOT
09:01:06PM ACCEPTABLE.
09:01:06PM AND I AM SAYING IT NOW I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO ME.
09:01:12PM I JUST WANT TO LEAVE TO SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, WE DID THE BEST
09:01:15PM WE CAN TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS.
09:01:16PM AND SOMETIMES THEY MAY NOT BE GOOD ENOUGH.
09:01:19PM 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.
09:01:29PM IF I CAN CIRCLE BACK, COUNCIL.
09:01:31PM A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT CRITERIA OF HOW YOU MAKE THIS
09:01:38PM 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
09:01:45PM APPLICANT AN OPPORTUNITY TO REBUT OR ADDRESS SOMETHING
09:01:48PM BEFORE WE CLOSE THIS HEARING.
09:01:50PM JUST FOR THE RECORD, COUNCIL, AS WE DISCUSSED BEFORE ON
09:01:54PM PRIOR OCCASIONS RELATIVE TO PDs OR PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS.
09:02:00PM I HAVE PROVIDED YOU WITH -- WITH SECTION 27-136.
09:02:07PM PURPOSE OF PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PD CODE CRITERIA NINE ITEMS
09:02:15PM FOR YOU TO REVIEW ON THE REVERSE SIDE FOR THE PLANNED
09:02:20PM DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA.
09:02:22PM YOU NOTICE TWO WAIVERS.
09:02:23PM I AM GOING TO DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO THE STAFF REPORT
09:02:27PM THOSE STATE WHAT THOSE WAIVERS ARE.
09:02:30PM AND THOSE WAIVERS HAVE TO MEET THE CRITERIA OF 27-139.
09:02:35PM I AM ALSO GOING TO INQUIRE OF THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE
09:02:45PM MISS BATSEL -- PARDON ME.
09:02:49PM A REVISION SHEET PRESENTED TO CITY COUNCIL THIS EVENING.
09:02:52PM AND REVISED AND STATED 1/16/25 AND I BELIEVE TWO DOZEN
09:03:01PM BULLET POINTS.
09:03:02PM THE QUESTION IS, HAVE YOU REVIEWED THESE WILL YOU BE ABLE TO
09:03:07PM BE DO THESE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING AND BE IN
09:03:10PM COMPLIANCE BETWEEN THE SECOND READING.
09:03:12PM >> AGAIN, KEVIN REALI.
09:03:14PM YES, SIR, ALL OF THOSE CHANGES ARE ALREADY INCORPORATED
09:03:17PM BECAUSE WE ARE WORKING WITH STAFF UP UNTIL THIS.
09:03:19PM THEY JUST HAVE TO BE COMMITTED FORMALLY BETWEEN FIRST AND
09:03:24PM SECOND READING AND THE DIVISION OF COUNCIL WHERE THERE WAS A
09:03:28PM DISCREPANCY -- A TYPO WHERE THE HEIGHT WAS LISTED
09:03:31PM INCORRECTLY ON THE SECOND PAGE.
09:03:32PM THE ONLY NEW CHANGE WE HAVE TO MAKE AND EASILY DO THAT
09:03:36PM BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
09:03:38PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU.
09:03:38PM THANK YOU, COUNSELOR.
09:03:39PM THAT BEING THE CASE, COUNCIL, I AM GOING TO ASK THAT YOU
09:03:44PM BASE YOUR DECISION ON THE COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
09:03:49PM IN THE RECORD.
09:03:51PM AND YOUR STAFF HAS REVIEWED AND USED THESE SAME CRITERIA IN
09:03:55PM THE STAFF REPORT.
09:03:56PM THEY HAVE MADE CERTAIN FINDINGS.
09:03:58PM IF YOU HAVE CERTAIN FINDINGS, THEN I SUGGEST YOU IMAGINE
09:04:02PM FINDINGS OF FACT BASED ON THE EVIDENCE YOU HAVE HEARD, APPLY
09:04:05PM IT TO THE CRITERIA.
09:04:06PM IF YOU WANT TO ADOPT THE STAFF'S REPORTS, YOU CERTAINLY MAY
09:04:11PM SAY THAT AND DO SO.
09:04:11PM BUT MY SUGGESTION IS YOU REVIEW THESE AND COMPLY THE
09:04:20PM COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IN THE RECORD AS YOU FIND IT
09:04:23PM TO BE WHEN YOU MAKE WHATEVER DETERMINATION YOU MAKE IN CASE,
09:04:31PM THANK YOU.
09:04:31PM >>LYNN HURTAK: MOTION TO CLOSE.
09:04:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
09:04:34PM ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
09:04:36PM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
09:04:38PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
09:04:38PM THE FIRST THING THAT IS CLEAR THAT WE SITTING AS COUNCIL
09:04:45PM NEED TO REVISIT THE COMP PLAN AND LOOK AT THE COASTAL HIGH
09:04:49PM HAZARD AREA AGAIN.
09:04:50PM A LOT OF THINGS WE NEED TO LOOK AT AFTER THESE STORMS.
09:04:55PM A TON OF EVIDENCE -- A TON OF EVIDENCE TONIGHT.
09:04:58PM TO ME IT BOILS DOWN TO BE TWO SENTENCES IN THE PLANNING
09:05:02PM COMMISSION REPORT.
09:05:03PM THE AVERAGE DENSITY OF THIS PORTION OF NORTH ROME AVENUE
09:05:07PM EXCLUDING THE SUBJECT SITE BETWEEN WEST HANNA AVENUE AND
09:05:10PM WEST BURKE STREET IS DEVELOPED AT 3.38 UNITS PER ACRE BASED
09:05:16PM ON EIGHT SAMPLE SIZES.
09:05:18PM PROPOSED DENSITY THROUGH REZ 24-99 OF 9.65 UNITS PER ACRE.
09:05:26PM THAT IS ALMOST THREE TIMES THE UNITS PER ACRE AS IS
09:05:29PM CURRENTLY ON -- IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
09:05:33PM IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
09:05:34PM IN THE AREA.
09:05:37PM I THINK SOMEONE USED ONE OF THE THINGS OF TOO MUCH -- TEN
09:05:43PM POUNDS OF SUGAR IN A FIVE-POUND BAG.
09:05:46PM THEY USED A DIFFERENT ONE THAT I HAVEN'T HAD BEFORE AND IT
09:05:49PM WAS INTERESTING BUT I HAVE FORGOTTEN IT.
09:05:52PM I MOVE TO DENY REZ 24-99 FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED 6111 NORTH
09:05:59PM ROME AVENUE FOR THE FAILURE OF THE APPLICANT NO PROVIDE
09:06:03PM COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT THE DEVELOPMENT AS
09:06:05PM CONDITIONED AND SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN IS CONSISTENT WITH
09:06:07PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND CITY CODE AND THE APPLICANT'S
09:06:10PM FAILURE TO MEET THE BURDEN OF PROOF WITH THE RESPECT TO THE
09:06:14PM REQUESTED WAIVERS.
09:06:14PM BASED ON THE WRITTEN RECORD.
09:06:21PM SO I AM GOING TO CITE SECTION 27-136 EXCEPTION ONE, DOES NOT
09:06:28PM PROMOTE THE SUSTAINABLE USE OF LAND AND INFRASTRUCTURE WITH
09:06:31PM CAREFUL CONSIDERATION OF POTENTIAL ADVERSE IMPACTS TO
09:06:34PM POTENTIAL NATURAL ELEMENTS SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD AND
09:06:40PM CULTURAL RESOURCES.
09:06:41PM SUBSECTIONS FIVE WHICH -- ENCOURAGES FLEXIBLE LAND
09:06:45PM DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL MAXIMIZE THE PRESERVATION OF NATURAL
09:06:49PM RESOURCES STREAMS, LAKES, FLOOD PLAIN, GROUND WATER, WOODED
09:06:53PM AREA, UPLAND AND AREA OF UNUSUAL BEAUTY AROUND IMPORTANT OF
09:06:58PM THE ECOSYSTEM OPEN SPACE, GREEN SPACE AND OTHER
09:07:03PM ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES AND SUBSECTIONS 6, DOES NOT PROMOTE AND
09:07:06PM ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT WHERE APPROPRIATE IN LOCATION,
09:07:09PM CHARACTERS AND COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING IMPACTED
09:07:13PM 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,
09:07:35PM THE WAIVER IS NOT IN HARMONY WITH AND IT YOU NOT SERVE THE
09:07:39PM GENERAL INTENT AND PURPOSE OF CHAPTER 27.
09:07:41PM 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.
09:08:04PM AND I WANT TO JUST SAY WHY.
09:08:07PM I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO DO THAT IN THIS INSTANCE.
09:08:10PM WHEN THINGS ARE CONSISTENT WITH BOTH PLANNING COMMISSION AND
09:08:13PM CITY STAFF, THAT SHOWS A LOT OF EVIDENCE THAT THE APPLICANT
09:08:18PM HAS WORKED HARD TO GET TO THAT POINT.
09:08:20PM DESPITE THAT THE RESIDENTS, YOU KNOW, FEEL DIFFERENTLY.
09:08:24PM I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINTS AS WELL, WHICH DOES MAKE DIFFICULT
09:08:29PM BUT THERE IS A WAY TO GET TO YES IN THIS INSTANCE AS WELL.
09:08:34PM IF THE MOTION WAS MADE IN THAT DIRECTION.
09:08:36PM BUT AT THIS TIME, YOU KNOW, I AM NOT GOING TO SUPPORT, YOU
09:08:40PM KNOW, THE MOTION TO SAY YES.
09:08:41PM BECAUSE OF THE CONSISTENCY OF BOTH CITY STAFF AND THE
09:08:46PM PLANNING COMMISSION.
09:08:47PM THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN INCONSISTENT HAS BEEN EVIDENCE IN
09:08:54PM THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND OR CITY STAFF REPORTS IN SMALLER
09:08:56PM URBAN COMMUNITIES AND THEY WILL BUILD THOSE BUILDINGS.
09:09:03PM THEY WILL APPROVE THOSE AREAS OF DEVELOPMENT IN SPACES WHERE
09:09:09PM THERE ARE SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS AND NOW THEY CAN BUILD
09:09:12PM MULTIFAMILY -- YOU KNOW, MULTIFAMILY PROPERTIES IN SPACES
09:09:17PM THAT CLEARLY THERE ARE NO OTHER PROPERTIES THAT LOOK LIKE
09:09:19PM THAT.
09:09:20PM BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS WE DON'T HAVE 100 MEMBERS OF THE
09:09:26PM COMMUNITY COMING DOWN HERE TO SAY DIFFERENTLY.
09:09:28PM WE MAY HAVE TWO OR THREE OR FOUR OR FIVE AND THE STAFF DID
09:09:33PM FIND IT INCIDENT CONSISTENT AND SUPPORT IT AND WILL GO AHEAD
09:09:36PM AND BUILD IT.
09:09:37PM SO IN THIS INSTANCE, BECAUSE STAFF FOUND IT CONSISTENT AND
09:09:40PM YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT THE APPLICANT PUT IN THE WORK.
09:09:42PM EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T LIKE IT.
09:09:44PM IT IS AND COULD GET TO A YES JUST LIKE IT GOT TO A KNOW.
09:09:50PM UNFORTUNATELY, YOU KNOW IT APPEARS IT WON'T GO IN THE
09:09:56PM 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.
09:10:07PM 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.
09:10:16PM YEAH, YES, THANK YOU.
09:10:18PM VERY BRIEFLY.
09:10:19PM I AM ALSO GOING TO VOTE NO.
09:10:23PM I WON'T REITERATE THE POINT MADE BY COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON.
09:10:26PM JUST TO SAY -- I WILL DESCRIBE IT THIS WAY.
09:10:29PM I APPRECIATE THE OTHER PEOPLE'S SENTIMENTS.
09:10:36PM WRITING A CHECK THAT I THINK WILL BOUNCE LATER ON.
09:10:39PM SO I RESPECTFULLY VOTE NO.
09:10:40PM THANK YOU.
09:10:41PM >>CLERK: MANISCALCO.
09:10:42PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.

09:36:53PM WITH ME ADDIE CLARK AND TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL AND RANDY
09:36:57PM COHEN WHO IS OUR TRAFFIC CONSULTANT.
09:36:59PM AND IF I COULD, WE WILL BE BRIEF.
09:37:02PM WE HAD UNANIMOUS RECOMMENDATION FROM THE ARC WITH THE
09:37:06PM MENTION OF THE CONCERN OF THE TRAFFIC AND THE PARKING
09:37:09PM WAIVER.
09:37:09PM BUT WHICH RANDY IS HERE TO COVER BUT I WANTED TO TOUCH ON
09:37:15PM JUST A FEW ITEMS.
09:37:16PM ONE FROM A PROJECT AREA STANDPOINT, JUST TO GIVE YOU THE LAY
09:37:19PM OF THE LAND OF WHERE THIS SITS WITHIN TGH'S HOLDINGS.
09:37:24PM OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE THEIR MAIN CAMPUS ON DAVIS ISLAND.
09:37:28PM AND UP IN THE NORTHWEST AREA OF THIS SLIDE IS THE FURMAN
09:37:34PM PROPERTY WHICH IS NOW THEIR CAMPUS THERE AND MORE IN THE
09:37:37PM CENTER JUST NORTH OF THE CROSSTOWN IS THEIR CORPORATE CENTER
09:37:40PM SITE WHICH THEY RECENTLY THREE, FOUR YEARS AGO COMPLETED THE
09:37:45PM 3,000-SPACE GARAGE.
09:37:47PM AND OBVIOUSLY THIS IS THE SITE WITH THE BLOW-UP TO THE RIGHT
09:37:53PM AND NEXT, THIS IS THE EXISTING STRUCTURE AND COUNCILWOMAN
09:37:59PM HURTAK TO YOUR POINT, I WILL EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED HERE.
09:38:01PM CURRENTLY OPERATES AT THE NETTIE WEIGHT LOSS CLINIC.
09:38:07PM BUT IN 2005 IT WAS REZONED FOR A TOWER OF 59 RESIDENTIAL
09:38:12PM USES.
09:38:12PM SOME THIS BUILDING WHICH TGH IS GOING TO KEEP FOR NOW IS
09:38:18PM INCONGRUENT WITH THAT 2020 REZONING.
09:38:21PM REALLY WHAT WE ARE DOING IS BLESSING SOMETHING THAT ALREADY
09:38:24PM EXISTS AND SECONDLY ADDING IN MEDICAL OFFICE AS THE USE.
09:38:29PM AS YOU CAN SEE FROM SAM'S SLIDES PROBABLY THE SHORTEST
09:38:34PM STRUCTURE IN THIS WHOLE AREA.
09:38:36PM WITH THAT R-1 APPROVED, WHICH IS THE SITE PLAN CONTROLLED
09:38:41PM DISTRICT, AT SOME POINT THE HOPE IS THAT TGH REDEVELOPS THIS
09:38:46PM PROPERTY.
09:38:46PM AND DOESN'T WANT TO LOSE THAT RIGHT.
09:38:48PM FOR NOW ALL WE ARE ASKING IS THIS.
09:38:50PM YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT IN ORDER TO CHANGE THAT AND ADD
09:38:53PM ANY DENSITY, THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO COME IN FRONT OF
09:38:56PM YOU TO YOU REZONE AGAIN.
09:38:57PM SO A LITTLE BIT OF A CONFUSING SITUATION, BUT THAT IS WHAT
09:39:01PM IT IS AND LASTLY WHAT IS IT THAT WE ARE DOING.
09:39:04PM WE ARE ADAPTIVELY REUSING THIS EXISTING STRUCTURE, NOT
09:39:10PM ADDING ANY SQUARE FOOTAGE TO IT.
09:39:12PM 14,834 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING.

09:40:37PM REDEVELOPMENT THROUGH ADAPTIVE REUSE IS ENCOURAGED BY THE
09:40:40PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
09:40:41PM EVEN THOUGH AS WE KNOW ADAPTIVE IS REUSING A BUILDING AND
09:40:46PM A SITE IN ITS LAYOUT MAY REQUIRE A FEW POTENTIAL WAIVERS
09:40:50PM WHICH AGAIN ARE BOTH TRANSPORTATION RELATED.
09:40:52PM THERE ARE NO NATURAL RESOURCE OR TREE WAIVERS FOR THAT PLAN.
09:40:56PM THERE WAS AGREE RETENTION WAIVER BACK IN THE 2005 PLAN AND
09:41:02PM WE ARE NOT REQUESTING TO BRING THAT FORWARD WITH US.
09:41:04PM THE FIRST WAIVER IS BASED ON THE EXISTING SITE PLAY OUT
09:41:08PM WHICH HAS THE PORTION OF THE PARKING LOT SHADED IN YELLOW
09:41:11PM HAVING 20-FOOT DRIVE AISLES COMPARED TO THE 24-FOOT
09:41:20PM TRIAL AISLES.
09:41:21PM THIS WILL NOT CAUSE AN ISSUE.

09:41:47PM MEDICAL OFFICE, BE THERE LOWERING THE PARKING DEMAND.

09:42:58PM THAT NEED ACUTE AND HOSPITAL-BASED CARE AND THOSE SERVICES
09:43:02PM PROVIDED AT A MORE CONVENIENT LOCATION.
09:43:05PM THIS PROPERTY ALLOWS US TO BRING THE SERVICES OFF THE ISLAND

09:44:51PM >> HI, MY NAME IS JOE HEFNER.
09:45:03PM HEFNER ARCHITECTS.
09:45:06PM AN OFFICE TO THE BUILDING TO THE NORTH.
09:45:08PM 4117 NORTH HYDE PARK AVENUE.
09:45:12PM FOUR AND A HALF YEARS AGO, I DID HAVE TWO MORE MINUTES.
09:45:15PM I WILL TRY TO GET THROUGH THIS IF I CAN.
09:45:18PM THERE IS A LOT OF FUNNY MATH GOING ON THIS.
09:45:26PM AND I DON'T KNOW WHY TAMPA GENERAL GETS AN EXCEPTION FROM
09:45:30PM OTHER PEOPLE.
09:45:30PM BUT SEE IF THAT COMES UP.
09:45:41PM OKAY.
09:45:47PM IF YOU READ ABOUT THE INTENT OF THE ACCESS OF PARKING.
09:45:50PM INTENT OF THE ARTICLE ON THIS AS A ZONING CODE TO ENCOURAGE
09:45:54PM THE APPROPRIATE LOCATION OF ALL STREET PARKING AND
09:45:57PM OFF-STREET LIVING TO PROVIDE THE NEEDS AND LIVING TO THE
09:45:59PM SERVICE OF THE CITY.
09:46:00PM TO AVOID UNDUE CONGESTION ON THE STREETS.
09:46:03PM THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO CREATE CONGESTION ON THE STREETS.
09:46:10PM THIS ONE MERE AND PART OF THIS SAYS THAT ANY USE OF BUILDING
09:46:21PM OR LAND IS ENLARGED BY 500 SQUARE FEET OR 5% WHICHEVER IS
09:46:27PM GREATER IS INCREASED IN INTENSITY AND ANY OTHER CHANGE OF
09:46:32PM USE WHICH IS WHAT IS GOING ON HERE.
09:46:34PM OFF-STREET PARKING SPACES FOR AUTOMOBILES IN ACCORDANCE WITH
09:46:40PM THE REQUIREMENTS.
09:46:40PM >>LYNN HURTAK: WILL YOU FLIP THAT OVER.
09:46:42PM WE HAVE TO HAVE IT FACE UP.
09:46:44PM YOU READ IT.
09:46:46PM >> CAN I KEEP GOING?
09:46:48PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR.
09:46:49PM >> OKAY.
09:46:50PM NEXT THING I HAVE HERE IS ALL THE CALCULATIONS THEY HAVE
09:46:55PM BEEN DOING ARE BASED ON NET AREA.
09:47:01PM AND THE CODE REQUIRES YOU OF THE STATES IN THE CODE AND
09:47:04PM REQUIREMENTS.
09:47:06PM AND SQUARE FOOT.
09:47:08PM A MINOR THING AND TWO MORE PARKING SPACES AND THE NUMBER GO
09:47:12PM FROM 83 TO 85.
09:47:14PM WHAT IS REQUIRED ON THIS PROPERTY FOR THE USE THAT THEY ARE
09:47:17PM ASKING FOR.
09:47:18PM NEXT PAGE HERE FROM THE ZONING CODE.
09:47:25PM GIVES THE USES THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR THE PARKING.
09:47:28PM WHEN THIS BUILDING WAS BUILT IN 1980, IT WAS FOR A CPA FIRM.
09:47:35PM AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 3.3 AND WHAT IS REQUIRED NOW,
09:47:39PM 6.0 IS THAT A NORMAL OFFICE BUILDING.
09:47:42PM PEOPLE IF TO WORK IN THE MORNING.
09:47:43PM THEY STAY THERE ALL DAY AND LEAVE AT NIGHT.
09:47:45PM MEDICAL USES HAVE A TURNOVER OF PEOPLE.
09:47:48PM PATIENTS SEE DOCTORS OVER 12 TO 15 MINUTES.
09:47:52PM THEY ARE PUTTING THE IMAGING CENTER THIS THAT WILL SCHEDULE.
09:47:55PM EVERYTHING IS SCHEDULED BUT A 20-MINUTE SCHEDULE ALL DAY
09:47:59PM LONG.
09:47:59PM AND YOU ARE TAKING 40 PARKING SPACES PROBABLY AND PUTTING
09:48:04PM THEM ON THE STREET EVERY HOUR FOR A TURNOVER AND THE
09:48:07PM POPULATION OF PEOPLE GOING IN AND OUT OF THAT BUILDING AND A
09:48:10PM BIG DIFFERENCE FROM A NORMAL OFFICE BUILDING.
09:48:12PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
09:48:22PM YOUR TIME IS UP.
09:48:23PM >> OKAY, CAN I CLOSE WITH ONE OTHER THING.
09:48:27PM COUPLE OF THINGS THAT -- I DON'T REALLY -- I AM A TENANT.
09:48:31PM I CAN MOVE OUT OF THIS BUILDING ANY TIME.
09:48:33PM BUT IF YOU APPROVE THIS, YOU ARE APPROVING THE ZONING FOR
09:48:36PM THE LIFE OF THE BUILDING.
09:48:37PM ONCE YOU APPROVE THE MEDICAL USE, ANY TYPE OF MEDICAL USE
09:48:40PM CAN GO IN THAT BUILDING WHICH WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT PARKING
09:48:43PM RATIO FROM SIX SPACES EVEN UP TO SEVEN.
09:48:46PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
09:48:48PM NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
09:48:58PM >> GOOD EVENING.
09:48:59PM THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
09:49:00PM IT IS LATE.
09:49:02PM I AM THE PROPERTY RIGHT NEXT DOOR.
09:49:06PM I LIVED THERE 24-7.
09:49:09PM MY CONCERN I KNOW MEDICAL OFFICES.
09:49:12PM I HEARD THE WORD IMAGING.
09:49:15PM YOU THINK OF IMAGING VERY HEAVY-WEIGHTED EQUIPMENT.
09:49:19PM IS THIS STRUCTURE CONDUCIVE OF HOLDING THE TYPE OF
09:49:23PM EQUIPMENT.
09:49:24PM THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY, THE ELECTRICITY, THE ELECTRICAL
09:49:28PM CURRENTS THAT IT NEEDS.
09:49:29PM ALSO HAVE A COOLING SYSTEM AND THAT MEANS THERE ARE
09:49:31PM GENERATORS OUTSIDE THAT WILL TAKE UP MORE PARKING.
09:49:34PM ANY TYPE OF FUELING SYSTEM THAT MUST BE REQUIRED FOR
09:49:37PM EMERGENCIES, ETC.
09:49:38PM HAVE WE TAKEN INTO THAT CONSIDERATION WHICH AGAIN WILL TAKE
09:49:41PM UP MORE SPACE.
09:49:42PM WHEN WE COME TO PARKING DURING THE ART COMMITTEE MEETING A
09:49:45PM COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, THEY MENTIONED THEY HAD
09:49:48PM APPROVAL TO USE THE CHURCH PARKING.
09:49:49PM I HEARD A COUPLE OF YOU MENTION YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS
09:49:53PM BEING.
09:49:53PM YOU ARE ALSO FAMILIAR WITH THE CHURCH.
09:49:55PM IF YOU GO BY THAT CHURCH, TWO LOTS ONE THE PARK ON SOUTH
09:50:01PM CEDAR.
09:50:01PM IF YOU DRIVE BY THAT TODAY, TWO SIGNS THAT SAY TOW AWAY
09:50:07PM ZONES.
09:50:07PM YOU GO PAST AND LEFT ON DeLEON, A BACK PARKING LOT.
09:50:12PM THAT PARKING LOT HAS A SIGN THAT SAYS TGH EMPLOYEES AND
09:50:16PM CONTRACTORS.
09:50:17PM YOU DRIVE BY THERE ANY TIME OF THE DAY, THAT PARKING LOT IS
09:50:21PM ALREADY FULL WITH PEOPLE PARKING THERE SO MY QUESTION ARE,
09:50:28PM IS THE CHURCH GOING TO ALLOW TO USE THE FRONT PARKING LOT OR
09:50:32PM REMAIN AS A TOE AWAY ZONE.
09:50:34PM I ALSO ASK WHEN YOU GO AROUND TO THE BACK OF BUILDING, THE
09:50:37PM CURRENT BUILDING HAS AN EMPLOYEE ENTRANCE ONLY THE BACK
09:50:47PM ENTRANCE FOR PATIENTS TO PARK AT, WILL THAT BE A DOOR THAT
09:50:51PM IS CONDUCIVE FOR PATIENTS TO ENTER.
09:50:53PM OTHERWISE YOU ARE HAVING PATIENTS GOING ALL AROUND THE
09:50:56PM BUILDING.
09:50:56PM LIVING ON DeLEON.
09:50:58PM LIMITED PARKING FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ALREADY LIVE THERE.
09:51:00PM WE DO PARK ON THAT STREET.
09:51:02PM WE NEED THE EXTRA REQUIREMENTS FOR PARKING.
09:51:04PM IF YOU COME DOWN SOUTH CEDAR STREET, YOU WILL ALSO NOTICE --
09:51:09PM I BELIEVE THERE ARE 13 PARKING SPOTS.
09:51:11PM IF YOU COME IN.
09:51:12PM YOU PULL OUT.
09:51:12PM THREE OPTIONS.
09:51:13PM EITHER MAKE A LEFT ON DeLEON.
09:51:15PM WE TALKED ABOUT THAT PARKING.
09:51:16PM YOU GO OVER THE BRIDGE, NOT THE OPTION.
09:51:18PM OR MAKE A RIGHT ON DeLEON.
09:51:21PM STREET PARKING OR YOUR PATIENTS WILL HAVE TO GO AROUND THE
09:51:25PM BUILDING.
09:51:25PM I WILL ASK FOR EXTENSIVE COMMUNICATION TO THE PATIENTS FOR
09:51:28PM ANYBODY THAT NEEDS TO PARK IN THAT BACK PARKING LOT.
09:51:30PM THEY ARE NOT GOING TO KNOW IT IS THERE.
09:51:32PM SO IN CONCLUSION, I AM ASKING YOU TO CONSIDER THESE
09:51:35PM DIFFERENT THINGS AND SURE WE HAVE A PLAN.
09:51:37PM ONE LAST THING, THE CROSSWALK IN FRONT.
09:51:41PM I HOPE THAT TGH WILL WORK WITH THE CITY TO PUT A LIGHT
09:51:45PM THERE.
09:51:45PM I CROSS THAT ROAD EVERY SINGLE DAY, NOBODY STOPS.
09:51:49PM THE SAFETY OF THE PATIENTS AND PEDESTRIANS AND CHILDREN THAT
09:51:51PM WALK TO SCHOOL, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT TAKEN A STEP
09:51:54PM FURTHER TOO.
09:51:55PM THANK YOU.
09:51:56PM I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TONIGHT.
09:51:57PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
09:51:58PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:51:59PM ANYONE ELSE WHO IS HERE TO SPEAK?
09:52:02PM DO YOU HAVE REBUTTAL?
09:52:03PM SIR?
09:52:08PM >> MAIN CONCERN THAT RANDY WILL DISCUSS IS PARKING.
09:52:11PM SQUARE FOOTAGE DISCREPANCY.
09:52:13PM THE PROPERTY APPRAISER, THE DIFFERENCE IS THE SAY ADDITIONAL
09:52:17PM SQUARE FOOTAGE IN THE GROSS FOR CANOPY AND THAT DOES NOT
09:52:22PM COUNT TO THE F.A.R. THE NUMBER 13804 IS ACCURATE.
09:52:28PM WE PAD MITT THAT TGH IS AN UNIQUE USER.
09:52:32PM THEY ARE UNIQUELY SITUATED.
09:52:34PM THIS TRAVELS WITH THE LAND.
09:52:36PM FULLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT.
09:52:37PM WITH LOOKED BACK AT TECO'S PROPERTIES THROUGH THEIR RECORD
09:52:41PM TO SEE IF THEY EVER SOLD ANYTHING.
09:52:43PM AND THEY COULD NOT COME UP WITH A SINGLE INSTANCE OF THAT.
09:52:45PM SO I DO THINK THEY ARE UNIQUELY SUITED THERE.
09:52:49PM SECONDLY, EVEN TAKING THAT ISSUE ASIDE, OUR CHOICE BECAUSE
09:52:58PM OF YOUR CODE.
09:52:59PM MEDICAL OFFICE AND MEDICAL CLINIC, MEDICAL CLINIC IS FAR
09:53:04PM MORE INTENSIVE AS A SELF-REGULATOR.
09:53:07PM MEDICAL OFFICE.
09:53:08PM IF WE STEP BEYOND THAT, A CODE ENFORCEMENT ISSUE.
09:53:11PM ON THE CROSSWALK ISSUE, ABSOLUTELY HAPPY TO WORK WITH THE
09:53:15PM NEIGHBORS AND THE CITY ON THAT.
09:53:16PM AND ALSO SHE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PATIENT ENTRANCE
09:53:20PM WOULD BE INTERNAL AND THE ANSWER TO THAT IS YES.
09:53:24PM AND I AM HAPPY TO SHOW THAT ON THE SITE PLAN.
09:53:26PM WITH THAT, I WILL LET RANDY SPEAK, MR. MR. CARLSON MAY HAVE
09:53:30PM A QUESTION.
09:53:34PM >>BILL CARLSON: CAN I ASK A QUESTION?
09:53:35PM CONCERN OF THE GENERATORS.
09:53:37PM POSSIBLE THAT BE GENERATORS AND OTHER EQUIPMENT THAT WILL
09:53:40PM PUT OUTSIDE THE BUILDING TO CAUSE NOISE OR CAUSE NOISE
09:53:45PM POLLUTION?
09:53:46PM >> PERFECT SEGUE FOR ARE YOU, RANDY.
09:53:50PM >> RANDY COHEN, 2121 WEST CYPRESS SHEET.
09:53:55PM NO GENERATORS ASSOCIATED THIS FACILITY.
09:53:58PM OPERATES 8 TO 5, MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
09:54:01PM BY APPOINTMENT ONLY FACILITY AND NO NEED FOR A GENERATORS
09:54:06PM BECAUSE NO EMERGENCY CARE THAT HAPPENS IN THIS FACILITY.
09:54:08PM I WANT TO GO AHEAD AND TALK ABOUT PARKING AND USE THE OVER
09:54:11PM HEAD OKAY.
09:54:16PM GREAT.
09:54:16PM MEDICAL OFFICE A LITTLE OVER 13,000, UP TO 14,000 SQUARE
09:54:21PM FEET.
09:54:21PM WE HAVE ATYPICAL EQUIPMENT IN THIS MEDICAL FACILITY.
09:54:25PM YOU GO TO A DOCTOR'S OFFICE.
09:54:26PM YOU WILL NEVER DO A NRI AT A DOCTOR'S OFFICE.
09:54:31PM A C.T. SCAN.
09:54:33PM YOU MIGHT DO AN ULTRASOUND OF A LOWER QUALITY AT A DOCTOR'S
09:54:38PM OFFICE.
09:54:38PM LOW QUALITY X-RAYS.
09:54:40PM THIS IS WHAT IS PROVIDED IN THIS BUILDING.
09:54:43PM REHAB, TGH IS SPENDING SUBSTANTIAL MONEY TO PUT THIS
09:54:47PM EQUIPMENT IN THE BUILDING.
09:54:48PM THIS EQUIPMENT IS NOT FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC, FOR THE
09:54:51PM PATIENTS OF THIS PARTICULAR FACILITY WHICH IS A CONCIERGE
09:54:55PM SERVICE.
09:54:55PM THEY DO THE NOT GENERATE TRAFFIC IN AND OF THEMSELVES.
09:54:59PM THEY DO NOT GENERATE PARKING IN AND OF THEMSELVES.
09:55:02PM WHEN YOU HAVE THE AREA FOR THIS EQUIPMENT, ABOUT 3500 SQUARE
09:55:07PM FEET, YOU COME TO A LITTLE MORE THAN 10,000 SQUARE FEET OF
09:55:11PM SPACE OF ACTUAL MEDICAL OFFICE AS I TALKED MANY TIMES IN THE
09:55:19PM PAST, UPDATED THE CITY PARKING STUDY AND THEIR CRITERIA WAS
09:55:24PM DOWN OVER 20 YEARS AGO AND THE SAME COHORT STUDY FOR 15
09:55:28PM CITIES AND COUNTIES THAT THE COUNTY USED 20 YEARS AGO FOUND
09:55:32PM THAT THE NEW PARKING RATIO FOR THAT SAME COHORT IS FIVE
09:55:35PM SPACES PER 1,000 SQUARE FEET.
09:55:37PM RECENTLY COUNCIL SAW FIT TO ADOPT FIVE SPACES PER THOUSAND
09:55:41PM SQUARE FEET FOR MEDICAL OFFICE IN WEST SHORE OVERLAY.
09:55:44PM IT IS BECOMING A STANDARD.
09:55:48PM WHEN APPLY THAT TO LITTLE OVER 10,000 SQUARE FEET THAT WOULD
09:55:55PM ATTRACT PATIENTS.
09:55:56PM DEMAND OF 52 SPACES.
09:55:58PM PROVIDING 50 SPACES.
09:55:59PM ACTUAL DATA IS 476 SPACES.
09:56:01PM AS THE CITY ROUNDED UP TO GET TO SIX SPACES FROM 5.6, I
09:56:06PM ROUNDED UP FROM 4.6 TO FIVE.
09:56:08PM SO, IN FACT, WE ARE VERY CLOSE IF NOT MEETING THE ACTUAL
09:56:12PM PARKING STANDARD 20 YEARS AGO.
09:56:14PM MEDICAL HAS CHANGED VERY SUBSTANTIALLY.
09:56:18PM WITH THAT, I WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU
09:56:20PM MAY HAVE.
09:56:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
09:56:24PM >>BILL CARLSON: THE CONCERN ABOUT THE PARKING NEEDS AND
09:56:33PM TURNOFF OF CUSTOMERS OF THIS KIND OF FACILITY VERSUS OTHER.
09:56:38PM >> THIS PARTICULAR FACILITY -- LET'S GO BACK, NORMAL MED
09:56:42PM FACILITY OF 13,000 SQUARE FEET MIGHT HAVE 40 PATIENTS PER
09:56:47PM HOUR.
09:56:47PM THIS IS LIMITED IN ITS SIZE.
09:56:49PM LIMITED IN POPULATION.
09:56:51PM WILL HAVE MORE THAN 14 PATIENTS AT ANY ONE TIME.
09:56:54PM CALCULATIONS THAT TGH DID FOR THEIR DEMAND FOR PARKING
09:56:59PM BEFORE THEY DECIDED TO PURCHASE THIS PROPERTY DEMAND IS 47
09:57:03PM SPACES.
09:57:04PM WE ARE PROVIDING 50.
09:57:05PM THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL MEDICAL OFFICE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY,
09:57:09PM YOUR ZONING CODE ONLY PROVIDES FOR MEDICAL CLINIC, MEDICAL
09:57:14PM OFFICE AND HOSPITAL.
09:57:15PM SO WE HAVE TO FIT INTO ONE OF THOSE CATEGORIES.
09:57:18PM THAT IS WHY WE ARE MEDICAL OFFICE.
09:57:19PM >>BILL CARLSON: THANK YOU.
09:57:28PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:57:30PM ANYTHING ELSE?
09:57:31PM ANYTHING FURTHER TO ADD?
09:57:33PM >> THAT'S IT.
09:57:33PM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE AND THANK YOU FOR
09:57:36PM YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.
09:57:39PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: MOTION TO CLOSE.
09:57:40PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCILWOMAN
09:57:42PM HENDERSON.
09:57:42PM SECOND?
09:57:43PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SECOND.
09:57:44PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
09:57:45PM OPPOSED?
09:57:46PM COUNCILMAN CARLSON, WILL YOU LIKE TO READ THIS?
09:57:49PM CARLSON CARL I WOULD NOT LIKE TO READ IT.
09:57:51PM I JUST WANT TO MAKE COMMENT REAL FAST.
09:57:53PM I WILL SUPPORT IN AT FIRST READING.
09:57:55PM ONLY THING I WILL ASK IS MAYBE TRUETT, IF MAYBE YOU CAN MEET
09:58:00PM WITH SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS.
09:58:01PM I KNOW YOU MET WITH SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS.
09:58:03PM I DIDN'T HEAR WHAT SPANISH CREEK SAID, BUT IF YOU -- I
09:58:06PM WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE NOT MISSING SOMETHING IN THIS.

10:15:57PM STORMWATER, WHEN WE ARE LOOKING AT STORMWATER.
10:16:00PM I THINK SOMETHING THAT WAS BROUGHT UP TONIGHT THAT WE HADN'T
10:16:03PM TALKED ABOUT YET BUT THAT WE PROBABLY NEED TO IS COASTAL
10:16:06PM HIGH HAZARD AREA.
10:16:08PM I DON'T KNOW -- I AM GOING TO TALK TO SOME FOLKS FIRST, BUT
10:16:11PM I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW I WILL BE WORKING ON IT TO EITHER
10:16:14PM BRING TO A WORKSHOP OR JUST TAN UPDATE FOR US TO GET THE
10:16:18PM BALL ROLLING.
10:16:18PM UNFORTUNATELY THE FIRST WORKSHOP IS APRIL, AND I WOULD LIKE
10:16:21PM TO START TALKING ABOUT IT BEFORE, MAYBE I WILL ASK FOR A
10:16:24PM WRITTEN REPORT OR SOMETHING JUST TO COME BACK SOONER JUST TO
10:16:28PM GET US TALKING ABOUT -- JUST OPENING THE CONVERSATION BEING

10:16:52PM WE CAN.
10:16:52PM SO I KNOW WE HAVE THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE, BUT I
10:16:57PM DON'T KNOW THAT WE ARE SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSING COASTAL HIGH
10:17:00PM HAZARD AREA THIS THAT.

10:17:06PM -- WE ARE TAKING THE -- THE STORM SURGE SERIOUSLY THAT
10:17:12PM WE REALLY HAVE TO START TALKING ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT IN
10:17:15PM THIS AREA.

10:17:20PM FOLKS TO KNOW IF THEY ARE GOING TO WORK ON IT, I'M GOING TO
10:17:23PM TRY TO BRING SOMETHING FORWARD TO START TALKING ABOUT THAT.
10:17:26PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: I BELIEVE -- I BELIEVE IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN

10:18:15PM THAT WILL GO ALONG WITH THE STORMWATER INQUIRY THAT THE
10:18:23PM COUNTY AND THE CITY ARE DOING TOGETHER.
10:18:24PM SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT IS ON OUR RADAR THAT WE
10:18:28PM START TALKING ABOUT IT.
