5:32:08PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
5:32:09PM ITEM NUMBER 3.
5:32:12PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: SAM THOMAS, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
5:32:14PM AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 3 IS REZ 24-68, REQUEST TO REZONE 307
5:32:21PM SOUTH MELVILLE AVENUE FROM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO PLANNED
5:32:24PM DEVELOPMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED.
5:32:25PM WE'LL START WITH OUR AERIAL OVERVIEW.

5:32:27PM YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN RED HERE ON SOUTH
5:32:31PM MELVILLE AND WEST AZEELE STREET.
5:32:33PM AS YOU CAN SEE, THE AREA HAS A NUMBER OF PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
5:32:37PM ZONING DISTRICTS WITH SOME POCKETS OF RM 16 IN THE MIX.
5:32:41PM THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IS LARGELY SINGLE-FAMILY
5:32:44PM ATTACHED OR SEMI DETACHED WITH SOME REMAINING SINGLE-FAMILY
5:32:48PM DETACHED UNITS IN THE AREA.
5:32:50PM A COUPLE OF BLOCKS OVER, YOU GET TO THE SOUTH HOWARD AVENUE
5:32:53PM CORRIDOR.
5:32:53PM YOU HAVE A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT HERE FOR LARGE MULTIFAMILY
5:32:55PM COMPLEX.
5:32:56PM ONCE YOU MOVE A LITTLE BIT FARTHER OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
5:32:58PM THE CROSSTOWN, YOU HAVE HYDE PARK VILLAGE.
5:33:02PM MOVE INTO THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.
5:33:14PM SO AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THERE WAS A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED
5:33:17PM PD ON THE SUBJECT SITE.
5:33:19PM IT WAS APPROVED NOT TOO LONG AGO, I BELIEVE IN 2022.
5:33:23PM ORIGINALLY, THE PD THAT IS APPROVED CURRENTLY HAS TWO
5:33:28PM SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI DETACHED UNITS ON THIS LOT.
5:33:31PM THE APPLICANT IS NOW PROPOSING TO STILL RETAIN THE EXISTING
5:33:35PM SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOME, RETAIN THIS EXISTING UNIT IN
5:33:38PM THE REAR AND INSTEAD OF DOING THE TWO SEMI DETACHED UNITS,
5:33:42PM THEY ARE PROPOSING A SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOME HERE AND
5:33:45PM THEN IN THE REAR THEY ARE PROPOSING A GARAGE WITH A UNIT
5:33:48PM ABOVE THE GARAGE.

5:33:49PM THAT'S BASICALLY THE CHANGE BETWEEN THE CURRENT APPROVED PD
5:33:53PM AND THIS PD.
5:33:53PM YOU HAVE BOTH OF THE HOUSES ARE ORIENTED TOWARD SOUTH
5:33:59PM MELVILLE.
5:34:00PM PARKING IN THE FRONT IN EXISTING DRIVEWAY FOR THIS UNIT AND
5:34:03PM TWO PARKING SPACES IN THE REAR OFF THE ALLEY.
5:34:06PM AND THEN THE PARKING FOR THE STRUCTURE OR FOR THIS LOT HERE
5:34:10PM WILL BE IN A GARAGE.
5:34:11PM TWO PARKING SPACES IN THE GARAGE THAT IS LOADED OFF OF
5:34:14PM AZEELE STREET.
5:34:15PM EXISTING SIDEWALKS ON MELVILLE AND WEST AZEELE STREET.
5:34:21PM THE MAXIMUM PROPOSED BUILDING HEIGHT IS 35 FEET.
5:34:26PM OVERALL, 8 PARKING SPACES ARE REQUIRED AND 6 PARKING SPACES
5:34:30PM ARE BEING PROVIDED.
5:34:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK.
5:34:34PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YES, I HAVE A QUESTION.
5:34:36PM YOU SAID THAT THERE ARE TWO SPACES WITH THE EXISTING AND TWO
5:34:42PM -- YEAH, TWO SPACES WITH BOTH THE EXISTING?
5:34:46PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: YEAH, OVERALL THEY ARE REQUIRED EIGHT
5:34:48PM SPACES AND THEY ARE PROVIDING SIX.
5:34:50PM THIS ONE HAS PARKING IN THE DRIVEWAY HERE AND THEN TWO
5:34:53PM PARKING SPACES HERE AS WELL.
5:34:55PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING.
5:34:56PM SO THERE'S TWO WITH THAT ONE YOU'RE POINTING TO.
5:34:59PM TWO IN THE BACK.

5:35:01PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: YES, TWO IN THE BACK.
5:35:02PM >>LYNN HURTAK: FOR THE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENCE AND
5:35:04PM THE GARAGE APARTMENT, THERE ARE ONLY TWO SPACES IN THE
5:35:07PM GARAGE?
5:35:08PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: YES, MA'AM.
5:35:09PM THAT'S CORRECT.
5:35:11PM TWO IN THE DRIVEWAY HERE.
5:35:12PM TWO HERE AND THEN TWO SPACES IN THE GARAGE.
5:35:15PM I'LL GO TO SOME PICTURES REAL QUICK.
5:35:23PM LET ME SHOW YOU THE ELEVATIONS FIRST.
5:35:25PM HERE ARE THE ELEVATIONS WHERE THE EXISTING STRUCTURE IS.
5:35:29PM YOU HAVE THE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOME THAT'S ON THE FRONT
5:35:31PM AND THEN YOU HAVE THE SECOND UNIT THAT IS IN THE REAR.
5:35:35PM AND THEN THESE ARE THE PROPOSED ELEVATIONS FOR THE NEWLY
5:35:41PM CONSTRUCTED HOME AND THEN THESE ARE THE ELEVATIONS FOR THE
5:35:44PM GARAGE WITH THE UNIT ABOVE IT.
5:35:46PM I'LL SHOW SOME PICTURES OF THE SITE.
5:35:55PM SO THIS IS LOOKING WEST ON AZEELE STREET.
5:35:59PM THIS IS THE VACANT PORTION OF THE SITE.
5:36:01PM THIS IS THE EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY HOME AND THE UNIT IN THE
5:36:04PM REAR.
5:36:05PM THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH ACROSS THE STREET ON AZEELE.
5:36:09PM SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED USES.
5:36:10PM NOW WE'RE LOOKING NORTH DOWN THE ALLEY.
5:36:13PM THIS IS ALL THE SUBJECT SITE RIGHT HERE.

5:36:15PM AND NOW WE'RE LOOKING EAST FROM THE ALLEY.
5:36:19PM SO VACANT PORTION OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND THEN WHERE THE
5:36:22PM CURRENT EXISTING STRUCTURES ARE THERE.
5:36:23PM THIS IS LOOKING AT THE PARKING IN THE REAR, EXISTING UNIT
5:36:28PM THAT WILL REMAIN AND EXISTING HOUSE THAT WILL REMAIN.
5:36:31PM AND LOOKING ON DOWN THE ALLEY TO THE NORTHEAST.
5:36:34PM THIS IS LOOKING WEST ACROSS THE ALLEY.
5:36:37PM ONE OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES THAT EXIST.
5:36:40PM NOW WE'RE LOOKING BACK SOUTH TOWARD AZEELE STREET.
5:36:43PM SUBJECT SITE HERE.
5:36:44PM NOW WE'RE LOOKING NORTHWEST FROM AZEELE.
5:36:47PM THIS WOULD BE OVER HERE, MELVILLE.
5:36:50PM YOU HAVE THE SUBJECT SITE HERE.
5:36:51PM MOVING NORTH ALONG MELVILLE, YOU HAVE THE EXISTING
5:36:56PM SINGLE-FAMILY HOME AND THEN THE VACANT AREA.
5:36:59PM NOW WE'RE LOOKING EAST FROM THE SUBJECT SITE AT SOME OF THEM
5:37:01PM EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES THAT REMAIN IN THE
5:37:04PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
5:37:05PM LOOKING WEST DIRECTLY AT THE SUBJECT SITE, SO YOU CAN SEE
5:37:08PM THE DRIVEWAY THAT PROVIDES TWO PARKING SPOTS AND THEN VACANT
5:37:11PM LOT.
5:37:12PM NOW WE'RE LOOKING BACK SOUTH ON MELVILLE TOWARDS SOME OF THE
5:37:16PM SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED DEVELOPMENT.
5:37:18PM DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION AND COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE
5:37:32PM APPLICATION AND FIND THE REQUEST TO BE INCONSISTENT.

5:37:34PM SEE THE FINDINGS FROM TRANSPORTATION.
5:37:36PM NOTWITHSTANDING STAFF'S FINDING OF INCONSISTENCY, SHOULD IT
5:37:38PM BE THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE WAIVER AS
5:37:40PM IDENTIFIED IN THE REPORT AND THE APPLICATION, MODIFICATIONS
5:37:42PM TO THE SITE PLAN AS SHOWN ON THE REVISION SHEET MUST BE
5:37:45PM COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
5:37:47PM THESE REVISIONS WILL NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUES THAT STAFF IS
5:37:50PM FINDING OF INCONSISTENCY.
5:37:51PM I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
5:37:52PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
5:37:53PM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
5:37:54PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PRESENTATION, YOU
5:37:56PM SAID ALREADY APPROVED PD WITH THE PROPERTY FOR TWO TOWN
5:38:00PM HOUSE ATTACHED?
5:38:01PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: YES, SIR.
5:38:01PM SO THIS PORTION OF THE PD IS THE SAME, BUT DOWN HERE ON THE
5:38:06PM CURRENT APPROVED PD IS TWO SEMI DETACHED UNITS.
5:38:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHAT WAS THE PARKING APPROVED FOR THAT?
5:38:14PM WAIVER FOR THAT PARKING PD?
5:38:16PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY GOT A WAIVER FOR
5:38:19PM PARKING ON THAT.
5:38:20PM LET ME TAKE A LOOK.
5:38:21PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I'M ASKING, IS THIS A CHANGE OF THE
5:38:24PM PARKING REQUEST --
5:38:26PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: THERE WAS NO PARKING WAIVER FOR THE

5:38:28PM ORIGINAL PD.
5:38:29PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THEY ARE ADEQUATELY PARKED ON THAT ONE.
5:38:32PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: YES.
5:38:33PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
5:38:34PM HURTAK.
5:38:37PM >>LYNN HURTAK: IF MR. SCOTT COULD COME UP.
5:38:50PM >> JONATHAN SCOTT, MOBILITY DEPARTMENT.
5:38:51PM >>LYNN HURTAK: COULD YOU ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT ON THE
5:38:55PM TRANSPORTATION ISSUES?
5:38:56PM I'M ALSO CURIOUS WHY THE PARKING IS NOT ON THE ALLEY.
5:39:02PM >>JONATHAN SCOTT: YES.
5:39:03PM THEY ARE PROVIDING LIKE SIX SPACES IN THE REQUIRED EIGHT,
5:39:07PM BASICALLY.
5:39:08PM LIKE YOU SAID, THE NEW SOUTHERN PORTION HAS TWO IN THE
5:39:13PM GARAGE AND ONE OF THE UNITS IS ABOVE THAT GARAGE, WHICH THEY
5:39:17PM ARE COUNTING.
5:39:18PM THAT TECHNICALLY WOULD NEED TWO SPACES.
5:39:21PM FOR THAT THEY ARE ASKING A WAIVER.
5:39:24PM NOW, THE GARAGE DESIGN FOR THAT DRIVEWAY, THEY ARE ALLOWED
5:39:30PM TO ACCESS THAT STREET.
5:39:33PM THE ORIENTATION OFF THE ALLEY COULD HAVE BEEN DESIGNED BUT
5:39:35PM THEN I THINK THEY WOULD LOSE LIKE THEIR YARD SPACE AND
5:39:38PM GREENSPACE AND STUFF.
5:39:39PM THAT'S PROBABLY WHY -- BUT THEY COULD HAVE PUT IT OFF THE
5:39:43PM ALLEY.

5:39:43PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THEY COULD HAVE BUT CHOSE NOT TO.
5:39:48PM OKAY.
5:39:49PM THANK YOU.
5:39:49PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
5:39:49PM DANNY COLLINS, COME ON UP.
5:40:00PM >>DANNY COLLINS: DANNY COLLINS WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION
5:40:03PM STAFF.
5:40:03PM I WAS SWORN IN.
5:40:04PM THIS CASE IS ALSO IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT.
5:40:07PM IT'S IN THE SOHO NEIGHBORHOOD ALSO IN THE HYDE PARK NATIONAL
5:40:11PM DISTRICT.
5:40:12PM SITE IS WITHIN EVACUATION ZONE C AND SITE RECOGNIZED UNDER
5:40:15PM RESIDENTIAL 35 DESIGNATION WHICH SURROUNDS IT ON ALL SIDES.
5:40:18PM ONE BLOCK NORTH ALONG PLATT CMU 35.
5:40:22PM PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FOUND IT
5:40:25PM CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE R 35
5:40:27PM DESIGNATION AND OVERALL COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING MIX
5:40:29PM OF RESIDENTIAL USES IN THE AREA.
5:40:31PM THE REQUEST SUPPORTS THE CITY'S HOUSING POLICIES BY
5:40:33PM PROVIDING INFILL DEVELOPMENT ON AN UNDERUTILIZED LOT
5:40:36PM PROVIDING ADDITIONAL HOUSING IN THE SOHO NEIGHBORHOOD.
5:40:39PM THE SITE BENEFITS FROM GOOD TRANSIT ACCESS AND PROXIMITY TO
5:40:42PM EMPLOYMENT SERVICES ALIGNING WITH THE CITY STRATEGY TO
5:40:45PM PROMOTE DENSITY, DEVELOP MORE HOUSING IN THESE AREAS.
5:40:49PM HOWEVER, WHILE THE REQUEST ALIGNS WITH SEVERAL POLICIES

5:40:51PM OUTLINED IN THE PLAN, IT DOES NOT FULLY ADDRESS POLICIES
5:40:54PM RELATED TO VEHICULAR ACCESS FROM THE ALLEYS.
5:40:57PM REQUEST INCLUDES VEHICULAR ACCESS FOR PARKING FOR THE
5:41:00PM NORTHWESTERN HOME, INCLUDING TRASH PICKUP VIA THE ALLEY.
5:41:04PM HOWEVER, THE SOUTHWESTERN HOME IS NOT PROPOSED TO HAVE ALLEY
5:41:08PM ACCESS FOR PARKING.
5:41:09PM INSTEAD, ACCESS IS PROPOSED FROM WEST AZEELE STREET.
5:41:12PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ENCOURAGES VEHICULAR ACCESS FROM
5:41:15PM ALLEYS WHERE FEASIBLE.
5:41:16PM REVIEWING THE REQUEST, CITY COUNCIL SHOULD CONSIDER THE
5:41:21PM ACCESS FROM -- THE POTENTIAL ACCESS FROM THE ALLEY FOR THE
5:41:26PM SOUTHWESTERN HOME.
5:41:27PM APPLICANT MODIFY THE SITE PLAN TO UTILIZE ALLEY FOR ACCESS
5:41:32PM TO THE UNIT THOUGH ADDITIONAL BACKUP SPACE MAY BE REQUIRED.
5:41:35PM WHILE THIS ADJUSTMENT MAY REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE BACKYARD
5:41:38PM AND POOL AREA FOR THE UNIT, IT WOULD BETTER ALIGN WITH THE
5:41:41PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICY SUPPORTING ACCESS FROM THE ALLEY
5:41:44PM AND RESULT IN A BETTER OVERALL DESIGN.
5:41:46PM IT WOULD ALSO HELP PRESERVE THE ALLEY'S FORM AND FUNCTION
5:41:49PM WITHIN THE HYDE PARK NATIONAL DISTRICT WHICH IS SUPPORTED BY
5:41:52PM THE PLAN.
5:41:53PM IN SUMMARY, WHILE THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS
5:41:54PM DETERMINED THAT THE APPLICANT HAS ADDRESSED MANY OF THE
5:41:57PM POLICIES OUTLINED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, STAFF
5:41:58PM RECOMMENDS THAT THE APPLICANT RECONSIDER THE VEHICULAR

5:42:01PM ACCESS TO THE GARAGE FOR THE ALLEY FOR THE SOUTHWESTERN
5:42:04PM HOME.
5:42:05PM IF APPROVED, THIS CHANGE SHOULD BE MADE BETWEEN FIRST AND
5:42:08PM SECOND READING.
5:42:08PM OTHER THAN THAT, THE REQUEST IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE
5:42:13PM WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
5:42:15PM DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ANTICIPATED UNDER THE R-35 DESIGNATION.
5:42:19PM BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
5:42:21PM FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE
5:42:23PM PLAN.
5:42:24PM THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
5:42:25PM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
5:42:28PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
5:42:29PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
5:42:30PM MR. MICHELINI, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
5:42:33PM YOU ARE THE APPLICANT.
5:42:35PM >> STEVE MICHELINI, REPRESENTING THE PETITIONER.
5:42:37PM FOR THE 307 MELVILLE.
5:42:41PM LET ME GO TO A COUPLE OF ISSUES.
5:42:47PM THE ALLEY IS ONLY 14 FEET WIDE.
5:42:51PM IF YOU TURN THE GARAGES, THEN WE HAVE DIFFICULTY MAKING THAT
5:42:55PM TURNING RADIUS ACCORDING TO THE OTHER TECHNICALLY STANDARDS
5:42:59PM -- TECHNICAL STANDARDS THAT THE CITY HAS ESTABLISHED.
5:43:02PM WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS TO KEEP THE EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY
5:43:06PM HOUSE THAT EXISTS HERE AND THE ADDITIONAL UNIT IN THE BACK.

5:43:13PM THIS IS THE AERIAL VIEW -- THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE THAT
5:43:22PM WE'RE REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT AND WE'RE REQUESTING A CHANGE
5:43:25PM FROM PD TO PD.
5:43:26PM EXISTING HOUSE.
5:43:33PM DEVELOPMENT AREA.
5:43:34PM AND THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY INTENDS TO BUILD HERE FOR HIM
5:43:36PM TO LIVE IN.
5:43:37PM WITH STAFF INTERPRETATION OF THE GARAGE APARTMENT WAS THAT
5:43:43PM IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE LEASED OUT AND THEREFORE THAT'S
5:43:47PM WHERE THE PARKING REQUIREMENT, THE ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES
5:43:51PM CAME FROM.
5:43:52PM THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH -- SORRY, THAT'S AZEELE.
5:43:55PM THIS IS LOOKING TO THE EAST.
5:43:57PM AND YOU CAN SEE FROM THE AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH THAT THE STAFF
5:44:01PM ORIGINALLY PRESENTED THAT THERE WERE A LOT OF TOWN HOUSES IN
5:44:05PM THE AREA.
5:44:06PM THIS IS STILL LOOKING TO THE EAST, BUT THE SUBJECT PROPERTY
5:44:10PM IS HERE DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM TOWN HOUSES HERE.
5:44:13PM AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THEIR ACCESS IS OFF OF AZEELE AS WELL,
5:44:17PM DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM OUR SUBJECT SITE.
5:44:19PM THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE HERE.
5:44:25PM YOU SEE THAT THE ACCESSES ARE HERE AND NOT OFF OF THE ALLEY.
5:44:28PM THIS IS WHAT THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE WOULD LOOK LIKE, SO IT
5:44:35PM WOULD BE CONSISTENT AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE GUIDELINES OF
5:44:38PM DEVELOPMENT FOR THE DISTRICT.

5:44:40PM I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE THAT VERY WELL.
5:44:46PM THESE ARE ALL EXAMPLES WITHIN ONE BLOCK OF THE PROPERTY THAT
5:44:52PM HAVE ACCESS OFF OF THE STREET AND NOT OFF THE ALLEY.
5:44:56PM WE TRIED TO MAKE THE ALLEY ACCESS WORK.
5:45:02PM SIMPLY THE DIMENSIONS WERE NOT ALLOWING US TO HAVE ENOUGH
5:45:06PM SPACE TO MAKE THAT WORK.
5:45:07PM SO THAT IS THE EXCEPTION THAT WE'RE REQUESTING TO BE
5:45:12PM RELIEVED OF THE ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES.
5:45:16PM THAT WOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE GARAGE APARTMENT.
5:45:19PM THE HOUSE WOULD HAVE ITS OWN GARAGE ACCESS BECAUSE OF ITS R
5:45:25PM 35, NINE UNITS COULD BE BUILT ON THE PROPERTY, ALTHOUGH
5:45:28PM TECHNICALLY YOU COULDN'T GET THEM IN THERE.
5:45:30PM YOU WOULD HAVE TO ELEVATE IN SOME CONSIDERATION.
5:45:38PM THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, MATCHES DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AS IT'S
5:45:42PM SHOWN IN THE CITY STAFF REPORT AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION
5:45:45PM RETAINS THE EXISTING HOME AND THE EXISTING PROPERTIES TO THE
5:45:50PM NORTH.
5:45:51PM IT ADDS TWO MORE -- WE SIMPLY CAN'T GET THE OTHER TWO SPACES
5:45:55PM IN THERE, EVEN IF WE TURN THE GARAGE, WE WOULD STILL NEED A
5:45:58PM WAIVER FOR THE TWO SPACES.
5:46:00PM IT'S SURROUNDED BY SIMILAR PROJECTS.
5:46:04PM THE PROPERTY IS ALMOST -- IS 12,440 SQUARE FEET.
5:46:11PM AND IT DOES PROMOTE THE EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF
5:46:14PM LAND AND INFRASTRUCTURE.
5:46:17PM IT ACKNOWLEDGES THE CHANGING NEEDS OF TECHNOLOGY BY

5:46:21PM MAINTAINING THE EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE INSTEAD OF
5:46:23PM TEARING IT DOWN.
5:46:24PM IT TAKES IT FROM THE TOWN HOUSE PROJECT THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY
5:46:29PM APPROVED THERE AND TURNS IT INTO A SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
5:46:32PM WITH A GARAGE APARTMENT.
5:46:34PM IT ENCOURAGES THE FLEXIBLE USE OF THE LAND AND IT REDUCES
5:46:39PM TRANSPORTATION NEEDS.
5:46:41PM AGAIN IT REDUCES THE DENSITY FROM NINE POSSIBLE UNITS TO ONE
5:46:45PM SINGLE-FAMILY UNIT WITH A GARAGE APARTMENT.
5:46:48PM IT PROMOTES AND ENCOURAGES DEVELOPMENT WHERE IT IS
5:46:51PM APPROPRIATE AND SUSTAINS THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN THAT
5:46:54PM EXISTS.
5:46:56PM IT PROMOTES LIVING AND WORKING CONDITIONS AND ENVIRONMENT.
5:47:00PM IT PROMOTES THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES THAT I SHOWED YOU.
5:47:03PM IT'S CONSISTENT WITH WHAT NORMALLY WOULD BE APPROVED AFTER
5:47:06PM IT GOES TO THE GUIDELINE REVIEW OF THE CITY DEPARTMENTS.
5:47:10PM IT PROMOTES RETENTION OF EXISTING STRUCTURES.
5:47:15PM INSTEAD OF COMING TO YOU WITH A DEMOLITION REQUEST TO
5:47:18PM DEMOLISH AN EXISTING HOUSE AND EXISTING SECOND UNIT, YOU
5:47:22PM COULD COME IN AND ASK FOR MORE UNITS, THEY WANT TO RETAIN
5:47:26PM THE TWO AND ADD A SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE.
5:47:27PM THE DESIGN OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS UNIQUE.
5:47:32PM SIMPLY THE DIMENSIONS DON'T WORK.
5:47:34PM IF WE START SQUEEZING IN ANOTHER PARKING SPACE, WE HAVE TO
5:47:37PM REDUCE GREENSPACE.

5:47:39PM WOULD RATHER PROVIDE THE GREENSPACE THAN COME BACK IN AND
5:47:43PM ASK FOR ADDITIONAL ROOM FOR TWO PARKING SPACES.
5:47:47PM THE WAIVER IF ALLOWED WOULD NOT SUBSTANTIALLY INTERFERE OR
5:47:50PM INJURE THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS AS IT ADDRESSES A NEED THAT IS
5:47:53PM THERE.
5:47:54PM TYPICALLY, THE OLDER DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS IN THERE, THEY
5:47:56PM DIDN'T ALL HAVE PARKING SPACES DEDICATED TO THEIR PROPERTIES
5:48:01PM REGARDLESS HISTORICALLY.
5:48:02PM SO WE BELIEVE SIX PARKING SPACES GOES A LONG WAY TOWARD
5:48:06PM MEETING THE INTENT OF THAT CODE.
5:48:08PM THE WAIVER IS IN HARMONY AND SERVES THE GENERAL INTENT AND
5:48:12PM PURPOSES OF THIS CHAPTER.
5:48:13PM AS I SAID, WE SIMPLY DON'T HAVE THE ROOM TO ADD TWO MORE
5:48:18PM PARKING SPACES.
5:48:20PM THE INTERPRETATION FROM THE STAFF WAS BECAUSE IT WAS A
5:48:23PM POTENTIAL LEASED SPACE, ALTHOUGH IT IS A MORE EFFICIENT,
5:48:27PM SMALL UNIT, IT STILL REQUIRES TWO SPACES.
5:48:30PM ALLOWING THE WAIVER WOULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL JUSTICE
5:48:33PM BEING DONE.
5:48:34PM AS I SAID, IT TAKES AWAY THE TOWN HOUSE PROJECT AND CONVERTS
5:48:37PM IT TO A SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE WITH A GARAGE APARTMENT.
5:48:41PM WE ARE RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING YOUR APPROVAL.
5:48:46PM AS I SAID, THE SITE, IT IS A SMALL SCALE GARAGE APARTMENT
5:48:50PM THAT HAS TO MEET A FAIRLY INTENSIVE USE, PARKING
5:48:56PM REQUIREMENT.

5:48:57PM THIS SHOWS YOU THE SEPARATION BETWEEN THE EXISTING HOUSE
5:49:03PM HERE THAT'S TO BE RETAINED AND THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE HERE
5:49:10PM WITH A BACK PORCH AND A GARAGE APARTMENT THERE.
5:49:14PM SO THE GREENSPACE IS BEING MET HERE, AND HERE AND WILL BE
5:49:19PM MET HERE WITH THAT WAIVER.
5:49:23PM SO WE WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL.
5:49:25PM I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
5:49:32PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: HOW BIG IS THIS PROPERTY RIGHT NOW?
5:49:34PM THE TWO PROPOSED -- ACTUALLY, THE FOUR PROPOSED BUILDING
5:49:38PM LOTS.
5:49:39PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: TWO ALTOGETHER?
5:49:41PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHAT IS THE LENGTH AND WIDTH OF THIS
5:49:43PM PROPOSED PROPERTY ALTOGETHER?
5:49:45PM I CAN'T FIGURE THAT OUT.
5:49:48PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: THERE IS A SURVEY.
5:49:57PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: 129 BY 95?
5:50:05PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: 129 ACROSS THE FRONT AND 95 ACROSS THE
5:50:09PM OTHER SIDE.
5:50:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PUTTING UP THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN SHOWING
5:50:20PM THE OVERHEAD OF THE PROPOSED PROPERTIES, COULD YOU -- I'M
5:50:25PM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE YOU PARK.
5:50:27PM RIGHT NOW, CURRENTLY, IT SEEMS LIKE WITH THE TWO EXISTING
5:50:31PM PROPERTY, THEY ARE UNDER-PARKED ALREADY, RIGHT?
5:50:33PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: NO, THEY EACH HAVE TWO SPACES.
5:50:36PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I SEE THE TWO IN THE DRIVEWAY.

5:50:39PM I SEE THE ONE DRIVEWAY.
5:50:40PM WHERE IS THE FOURTH CAR?
5:50:43PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: THEY HAVE TWO COMING OFF THE ALLEY AND
5:50:45PM TWO OFF THE FRONT.
5:50:47PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OH, TANDEM PARKING.
5:50:50PM THAT'S WHAT I MISSED WAS THE TANDEM PARKING.
5:50:52PM HOW LONG IS THAT?
5:50:53PM DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG THAT DRIVEWAY IS?
5:51:12PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: 68 FEET.
5:51:15PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THE DRIVEWAY IS 68 FEET.
5:51:18PM THAT'S NOT 68 FEET.
5:51:20PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS, FROM THERE TO THERE,
5:51:22PM 68 FEET.
5:51:25PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: UNLESS THAT CAR -- REALLY?
5:51:27PM BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE THREE CAR LENGTHS.
5:51:29PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: SAYS 68 FEET.
5:51:35PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SHOW US THE PICTURE AGAIN UNDERNEATH
5:51:37PM THERE.
5:51:38PM OKAY.
5:51:43PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: YOU SEE THE BACK OF ONE CAR HERE.
5:51:45PM AND THAT'S BEFORE YOU EVEN GET TO THE RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE,
5:51:48PM WHICH IS RIGHT IN THERE.
5:51:51PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OKAY.
5:51:51PM GOTCHA.
5:51:52PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.

5:51:58PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I THINK IT'S INTERESTING THAT YOU SAID WE
5:52:00PM DON'T HAVE ROOM.
5:52:02PM IT'S AN EMPTY LOT.
5:52:03PM SO THAT IS A CHOICE TO NOT HAVE ROOM.
5:52:07PM I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN SAY YOU CAN'T FIT THEM.
5:52:14PM I THINK IF YOU TAKE THE POOL OUT, YOU CAN CERTAINLY FIT
5:52:18PM THEM.
5:52:20PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: IF YOU DO THAT, THEN YOU COMPROMISE THE
5:52:23PM GREENSPACE.
5:52:25PM >>LYNN HURTAK: IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE A GREENSPACE
5:52:27PM WAIVER INSTEAD BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THAT APARTMENT HAS NOWHERE
5:52:31PM TO PARK BUT THE STREET.
5:52:34PM SO WHAT YOU'VE DONE BY PUTTING THE DRIVEWAY ONTO THE STREET
5:52:38PM IS YOU'VE TAKEN AWAY TWO POSSIBLE ON STREET PARKING SPACES
5:52:43PM AND THE POSSIBILITY FOR A TENANT TO PARK.
5:52:48PM I'M HAVING A REALLY HARD TIME WITH THIS AND I'M A PERSON WHO
5:52:53PM HAS NO PROBLEM WITH REDUCED PARKING, BUT THE FACT THAT THIS
5:52:56PM APARTMENT LITERALLY HAS NO PARKING SPACE IS REALLY TROUBLING
5:53:03PM TO ME.
5:53:06PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: COULD I ASK YOU A QUESTION ABOUT
5:53:08PM REORIENTING THE PARKING TOWARD THE ALLEY.
5:53:11PM YOU WOULD STILL NEED A PARKING WAIVER.
5:53:14PM >>LYNN HURTAK: BUT THAT, YOU ARE STILL RETAINING TWO
5:53:16PM ON-STREET PARKING SPACES THAT YOU'RE TAKING AWAY BY PUTTING
5:53:20PM A DRIVEWAY THERE.

5:53:22PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: OKAY.
5:53:22PM I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
5:53:23PM >>LYNN HURTAK: ALSO, YOU CAN TAKE THAT DRIVEWAY SPACE AND
5:53:30PM MAKE IT AT LEAST ONE PARKING SPACE GOING OFF THE ALLEY.
5:53:33PM IF YOU PUT THE SITE PLAN BACK UP, YOU CAN SEE WHERE IF YOU
5:53:38PM REORIENT, YOU COULD ACTUALLY GET THREE PARKING SPACES, TWO
5:53:41PM IN A GARAGE AND ONE SURFACE PARKING SIMILAR TO THE LOT NEXT
5:53:46PM DOOR.
5:53:47PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: THIS ONE, OR THE ONE THAT THE STAFF HAD.
5:53:50PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I THINK THE STAFF WOULD BE EASIER -- THE
5:53:53PM ACTUAL SITE PLAN.
5:54:14PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS REORIENT THIS THIS
5:54:17PM WAY AND THEN THAT FREES UP SPACES ALONG AZEELE FOR ON-STREET
5:54:24PM PARKING.
5:54:24PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YES.
5:54:25PM IT ALSO FREES UP A SPACE THAT YOU COULD HAVE A THIRD OFF THE
5:54:29PM ALLEY THAT'S JUST ON A PARKING PAD.
5:54:31PM VERY SIMILAR TO THE ONE IN THE BACK OF THE NEXT HOUSE.
5:54:34PM I'M JUST SAYING THAT THERE IS A WAY TO DO THIS WITHOUT
5:54:37PM TAKING AWAY EXISTING -- IF YOU WANT ME TO BUY REDUCING
5:54:45PM PARKING FOR THIS, I'M GOING TO NEED TO YOU NOT TAKE AWAY
5:54:48PM ON-STREET PARKING TO DO SO.
5:54:50PM IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
5:54:53PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: I UNDERSTAND.
5:54:53PM I THINK ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM STAFF WAS TO MAKE

5:54:56PM THAT CHANGE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
5:54:59PM AND CERTAINLY WE WOULD COME BACK WITH A REVISED PLAN THAT
5:55:02PM SHOWED THAT.
5:55:04PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: THAT'S NOT A CHANGE THAT CAN BE MADE
5:55:08PM BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING AS IT WOULD TRIGGER
5:55:11PM TRANSPORTATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES BECAUSE THE GREENSPACE
5:55:12PM WOULD CHANGE.
5:55:14PM TRANSPORTATION WOULD HAVE TO DO ANOTHER REVIEW AND NATURAL
5:55:17PM RESOURCES WOULD NEED TO DO ANOTHER REVIEW.
5:55:20PM IT WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE MADE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
5:55:23PM READING.
5:55:24PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: COULD I ASK SAM A QUESTION?
5:55:26PM SO THAT WOULD REQUIRE THIS MATTER TO BE CONTINUED?
5:55:31PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: YES, THAT'S CORRECT.
5:55:33PM COUNCIL RULES AND PROCEDURES.
5:55:42PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: IF IT'S COUNCIL'S PLEASURE WANT THE
5:55:46PM CHANGES MADE -- I KNOW YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO ASK FOR A
5:55:48PM CONTINUANCE AT THE BEGINNING.
5:55:49PM I UNDERSTAND THAT.
5:55:50PM HOWEVER, THIS ISSUE I DIDN'T REALIZE WAS GOING TO BE
5:55:54PM SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO WARRANT A MAJOR CHANGE GOING BACK TO
5:55:58PM CITY STAFF.
5:56:01PM IS IT POSSIBLE TO ASK FOR A CONTINUANCE ON THAT MATTER?
5:56:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
5:56:05PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: BEFORE WE GET THERE, I WANT TO STATE MY

5:56:09PM OBJECTION, THERE CAN'T BE ANY ON-STREET PARKING.
5:56:12PM THIS PLACE HAS TO BE FULLY PARKED.
5:56:15PM WE BOTH KNOW -- I LIVE NOT VERY FAR, THERE'S NO ON STREET
5:56:21PM PARKING.
5:56:21PM PARKING IN THIS AREA IS SO BAD.
5:56:23PM ALREADY MAJOR PROBLEMS IN THIS AREA.
5:56:26PM I KIND OF DIG WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO HERE.
5:56:28PM I THINK IT'S AN INTERESTING CONCEPT.
5:56:31PM I THINK PROBABLY BETTER THAN WHAT YOU ORIGINALLY HAD FOR THE
5:56:34PM FIRST PD BUT YOU HAVE TO ACCOMMODATE THAT PARKING.
5:56:37PM HOWEVER YOU CONFIGURE THIS, WHETHER YOU REDUCE THE SIZE OF
5:56:40PM THE POOL, WHATEVER YOU DO.
5:56:41PM THE OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY IS HEADING KIND OF IN A NICE
5:56:46PM DIRECTION.
5:56:47PM THAT FIRST HOUSE OBVIOUSLY -- HOPEFULLY THE SECOND HOUSE
5:56:51PM LOOK JUST AS NICE.
5:56:53PM I'M AGREEABLE IF THE REST OF THE COUNCIL IS OF GRANTING THAT
5:56:56PM CONTINUANCE.
5:56:57PM JUST KNOWING THAT YOU'LL HAVE TO FULLY PARK THIS THING.
5:57:00PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA --
5:57:02PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NO.
5:57:03PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, THOUGH, I WOULD BE
5:57:07PM WILLING, BECAUSE A GARAGE APARTMENT OFTENTIMES JUST NEEDS
5:57:09PM ONE CAR.
5:57:11PM SO I WOULD BE FIVE GIVING A WAIVER FOR ONE SPACE BECAUSE I

5:57:15PM THINK, AGAIN, IF YOU PARK IT FROM THE ALLEY, THERE WAS SOME
5:57:19PM SPACE TO DO A CONCRETE PAD OR YOU COULD BE RETRO AND DO A --
5:57:26PM GOD, RETRO, BUT REALLY, INSTEAD OF A GARAGE, YOU COULD DO
5:57:29PM CARPORTS.
5:57:30PM EITHER WAY, I AGREE WITH YOU.
5:57:34PM I DON'T THINK IT NEEDS TO BE FULLY PARKED BUT WE NEED AT
5:57:37PM LEAST ONE SPACE FOR THE APARTMENT.
5:57:39PM THAT'S MY SPACE.
5:57:43PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MR. SHELBY.
5:57:45PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: WITH REGARD TO COUNCIL'S RULES, THE RULES
5:57:49PM STATE NO REQUEST FOR A CONTINUANCE BY THE APPLICANT
5:57:51PM PETITIONER SHALL BE GRANTED IN A QUASI-JUDICIAL PUBLIC
5:57:54PM HEARING AFTER THE APPLICANT PETITIONER HAS COMPLETED ITS
5:57:58PM INITIAL PRESENTATION, UNLESS UPON DETERMINATION BY CITY
5:58:02PM COUNCIL THAT IT IS NECESSARY FOR PURPOSES OF PROCEDURAL DUE
5:58:06PM PROCESS.
5:58:07PM PROCEDURAL DUE PROCESS WOULD BE THAT IT WOULD ALLOW THE
5:58:10PM PETITIONER TO ADDRESS THE ADVERSE IMPACTS THAT COUNCIL HAS
5:58:14PM INDICATED AND ALLOW HIM TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THAT.
5:58:16PM ALSO, THE QUESTION IS WHETHER HE HAS, IN FACT, COMPLETED HIS
5:58:20PM INITIAL PRESENTATION.
5:58:22PM HE HAS NOT DONE SO.
5:58:26PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DO YOU WANT TO LOOK AT DATES?
5:58:30PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: WE HAVE A FEW DATES AVAILABLE.
5:58:31PM WE HAVE ONE SLOT IN JUNE.

5:58:33PM ONE SLOT IN JULY AND THEN ALL OF AUGUST FULL.
5:58:36PM I THINK MAYBE WOULD SUGGEST A LATER DATE --
5:58:40PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: WE NEED TIME TO WORK ON THIS.
5:58:43PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE CAN CONTINUE TO JULY --
5:58:45PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: LET'S DO AUGUST.
5:58:47PM WE CAN DO SEPTEMBER.
5:58:49PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WERE SAYING AUGUST WAS
5:58:52PM COMPLETELY FULL, NOT COMPLETELY EMPTY.
5:58:54PM I MISHEARD.
5:58:59PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION TO CONTINUE TO AUGUST 28.
5:59:04PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: STAFF IS RECOMMENDING AUGUST, WHICH WE
5:59:06PM CONCUR WITH.
5:59:07PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: AUGUST IS EMPTY OR FULL?
5:59:10PM >>LYNN HURTAK: HE SAID FULL BUT HE MEANT EMPTY.
5:59:12PM HE MEANT THE WHOLE THING WAS OPEN.
5:59:15PM THAT'S WHERE I MISHEARD TOO.
5:59:19PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION TO CONTINUE THIS ITEM TO AUGUST 28
5:59:22PM AT 5:01 P.M., 315 -- IS 28th THE RIGHT DATE?
5:59:33PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: 21st IS THE DATE.
5:59:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: AUGUST 21st.
5:59:36PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: AUGUST 21st, 5:01 P.M., 315 EAST
5:59:39PM KENNEDY BOULEVARD, THIRD FLOOR, TAMPA, 33602, UNITED STATES.
5:59:43PM WE HAVE A SECOND.
5:59:44PM SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK.
5:59:45PM ALL IN FAVOR?

5:59:46PM AYE.
5:59:47PM THIS IS BEING CONTINUED UNTIL THE AUGUST DATE.
5:59:49PM WE'LL SEE YOU BACK HERE.
5:59:51PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
5:59:51PM ITEM NUMBER 4.
6:00:01PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ITEM NUMBER 4.

6:00:49PM HERE IS AN AERIAL MAP OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
6:01:06PM IT IS WITHIN THE TAMPA HEIGHTS OVERLAY.
6:01:08PM IT'S ALSO ONE BLOCK SOUTH OF THE TAMPA HEIGHTS HISTORIC
6:01:11PM DISTRICT.
6:01:12PM THE HISTORIC DISTRICT STARTS RIGHT UP HERE.
6:01:14PM YOU CAN SEE THE SITE IS BOUND TO THE NORTH BY EAST HENDERSON
6:01:17PM AVENUE, TO THE EAST BY NORTH MORGAN STREET, TO THE SOUTH BY
6:01:21PM EAST ESTELLE STREET AND TO THE WEST BY NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE.

6:01:25PM DIRECTLY NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE IS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT

6:02:03PM AND THEN AS YOU MOVE SOUTH, ONCE YOU CROSSED 275, THEN YOU
6:02:08PM ARE WITHIN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.
6:02:11PM THIS SITE IS CURRENTLY ZONED, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, PD.
6:02:16PM THIS CAME BEFORE YOU ALL A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
6:02:20PM THE PREVIOUS PD APPROVED THE SUBJECT SITE THAT WAS REZ
6:02:25PM 22-116.
6:02:27PM PREVIOUSLY APPROVED THE SUBJECT SITE ON THE WESTERN BLOCK
6:02:32PM HERE FOR AN 18 STORY TOWER WITH 456 UNITS AND 15,000 SQUARE
6:02:40PM FEET OF GROUND FLOOR RETAIL ON THE NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE.
6:02:44PM AND THEN ON THE WESTERN OR ON THE EASTERN BLOCK, IT WAS
6:02:48PM APPROVED FOR A SEVEN STORY TOWER WITH 105 UNITS WITH A

6:02:54PM PARKING GARAGE.
6:02:55PM JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF WHAT WAS
6:02:58PM PREVIOUSLY APPROVED -- OR CURRENTLY APPROVED ON-SITE.
6:03:02PM SO NOW WE'LL GO INTO THE CURRENT SITE PLAN.
6:03:25PM ON THE WESTERN BLOCK, JUST AS BEFORE, THERE IS STILL AN
6:03:30PM 18-STORY MULTIFAMILY TOWER PROPOSED.
6:03:32PM IT IS NOW PROPOSED TO HAVE 435 UNITS WITH 15,000 SQUARE FEET
6:03:38PM OF GROUND FLOOR COMMERCIAL ALONG FLORIDA AVENUE.
6:03:42PM THERE ARE 10% OF THE UNITS ARE PROPOSED TO BE AFFORDABLE
6:03:46PM HOUSING.
6:03:47PM ALSO PROPOSED TO BE A GARAGE INTEGRATED INTO THIS 18 STORY
6:03:51PM BUILDING NOW, WHEREAS BEFORE THERE WASN'T.
6:03:53PM ALONG FLORIDA AVENUE, YOU HAVE A 12-FOOT SIDEWALK PROPOSED
6:03:56PM AND THEN THAT INCLUDES A 10-FOOT TRANSPORTATION EASEMENT.
6:04:00PM THE SIDEWALKS ALONG HENDERSON AND ESTELLE AND NORTH MARION
6:04:07PM VARY IN WIDTH BUT NO LESS THAN SIX FEET ALL THE WAY AROUND.
6:04:11PM PROPOSED WALK-UP UNITS ON MARION STREET AS WELL.
6:04:14PM YOU HAVE VEHICULAR ACCESS TO THE SITE PROPOSED FROM ESTELLE
6:04:17PM -- OR HENDERSON AND THEN ESTELLE.
6:04:20PM ADDITIONALLY, ALONG ESTELLE YOU HAVE YOUR LOADING OR YOUR
6:04:23PM LOADING AREA AND YOU HAVE YOUR SOLID WASTE.
6:04:25PM THE MAXIMUM PROPOSED BUILDING HEIGHT FOR THIS BLOCK IS 18
6:04:29PM STORIES OR 200 FEET.
6:04:30PM THEN ON THE EASTERN BLOCK, WHERE THE SEVEN STORY MULTIFAMILY
6:04:34PM TOWER OR BUILDING WAS ORIGINALLY PROPOSED, THERE ARE NOW

6:04:38PM PROPOSED TO BE 41 TOWNHOME UNITS OR SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED
6:04:42PM UNITS.
6:04:43PM SEVEN UNITS ORIENTED TOWARD EAST HENDERSON AVENUE AND 7
6:04:48PM UNITS ORIENTED TOWARD EAST ESTELLE STREET.
6:04:51PM REMAINING UNITS ARE ORIENTED TOWARD COURTYARDS.
6:04:54PM MOST OF THE UNITS ON THE END WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE DO
6:04:57PM HAVE A DOOR THAT CONNECTS TO EITHER MORGAN OR MARION STREET.
6:05:01PM AS YOU CAN SEE HERE.
6:05:02PM THIS IS THE ONE THAT DOESN'T.
6:05:04PM VEHICULAR ACCESS TO THESE UNITS ARE PROPOSED IN TWO
6:05:09PM LOCATIONS ALONG NORTH MARION STREET, HERE AND HERE AND ALONG
6:05:13PM NORTH MORGAN STREET HERE AND HERE.
6:05:16PM YOU CAN SEE THAT SOME OF THESE -- ONLY ONE OF THE DRIVE
6:05:19PM AISLES GOES COMPLETELY THROUGH.
6:05:21PM THAT'S BECAUSE THE APPLICANT WORKED WITH STAFF TO MAKE SURE
6:05:23PM THEY WOULD NOT GO THROUGH TO IMPROVE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY AND
6:05:27PM CUT BACK ON THE NUMBER OF CURB CUTS ON THE SITE.
6:05:30PM THERE ARE FIVE UNITS WITHIN THIS TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT THAT
6:05:35PM ONLY HAVE ONE CAR GARAGE.
6:05:37PM ALL THE REMAINING UNITS DO HAVE TWO-CAR GARAGES.
6:05:41PM THE APPLICANT IS ALSO PROPOSING BICYCLE PARKING.
6:05:45PM YOU HAVE A BICYCLE RACK HERE, BICYCLE RACK HERE, BICYCLE
6:05:48PM RACK DOWN HERE AS WELL.
6:05:49PM BICYCLE PARKING OBVIOUSLY INCORPORATED INTO THE MULTIFAMILY
6:05:54PM DEVELOPMENT AS WELL.

6:05:55PM PROPOSED MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT IS 55 FEET.
6:05:58PM SIDEWALKS ON ALL SIDES ARE PROPOSED TO BE SIX FEET TALL.
6:06:01PM LASTLY, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO PRESERVE A 38-INCH
6:06:06PM LIVE GRAND OAK THAT IS LOCATED HERE.
6:06:08PM SO OVERALL, THERE ARE 558 PARKING SPACES REQUIRED AND THE
6:06:14PM APPLICANT IS PROPOSING 547.
6:06:16PM THE APPLICANT DOES PROPOSE ON-STREET PARKING ALONG MARION
6:06:20PM STREET HERE.
6:06:21PM HENDERSON HERE.
6:06:21PM AND THEN NORTH MORGAN STREET HERE.
6:06:24PM SINCE THIS IS IN THE TAMPA HEIGHTS OVERLAY, ON-STREET
6:06:27PM PARKING CAN BE COUNTED TOWARDS YOUR REQUIRED PARKING.
6:06:29PM HOWEVER, TO GET THAT ON-STREET PARKING APPROVED THEY MUST GO
6:06:33PM THROUGH A PROCESS OUTSIDE OF THIS REZONING APPLICATION.
6:06:36PM SO THE APPLICANT IS NOT COUNTING THAT PARKING TOWARDS THE
6:06:38PM REQUIRED PARKING SINCE THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULD
6:06:41PM BE APPROVED OUTSIDE OF THIS REZONING.
6:06:44PM THEN LASTLY, THE APPLICANT HAS WORKED WITH HART TO INCLUDE
6:06:49PM TWO IMPROVED TRANSIT STOPS AND SHELTERS ON EITHER SIDE OF
6:06:53PM MARION STREET HERE.
6:06:54PM I'LL WALK YOU GUYS THROUGH SOME PICTURES NOW OR I'LL SHOW
6:06:58PM YOU THE ELEVATION.
6:07:04PM >>LYNN HURTAK: MR. THOMAS, BEFORE YOU GO, IF YOU COULD PUT
6:07:06PM THAT OUT.
6:07:07PM WHY TWO SHELTERS?

6:07:11PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: I CANNOT REALLY ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
6:07:14PM THAT WAS IN COORDINATION WITH HART.
6:07:16PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I'LL ASK THE APPLICANT.
6:07:18PM THANK YOU.
6:07:28PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: HERE ARE SOME ELEVATIONS OF THE PROPOSED
6:07:31PM TOWNHOMES.
6:07:33PM PROPOSED MAXIMUM HEIGHT IS 55 FEET, THEY RANGE FROM THREE TO
6:07:37PM FOUR STORIES.
6:07:37PM I'LL RUN THROUGH THE ELEVATIONS OF THE TOWNHOMES.
6:07:41PM SEVEN UNITS FRONTING ESTELLE.
6:07:43PM SEVEN UNITS FRONTING HENDERSON.
6:07:45PM WE'LL GET INTO WHAT THE INTERIOR UNITS WILL LOOK LIKE.
6:07:55PM HERE IS THE PROPOSED MULTIFAMILY OR STOREFRONT RESIDENTIAL
6:08:09PM BUILDING.
6:08:09PM THIS WOULD BE LOOKING WEST FROM FLORIDA AVENUE.
6:08:12PM YOU CAN SEE THE PARKING GARAGE INCORPORATED AND THEN THE
6:08:15PM RETAIL OR THE COMMERCIAL ON THE FIRST FLOOR AND THEN THE
6:08:18PM RESIDENTIAL ABOVE.
6:08:20PM THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH FROM ESTELLE AND THEN THIS IS LOOKING
6:08:27PM NORTH FROM HENDERSON.
6:08:29PM AND THEN THIS WOULD BE LOOKING EAST FROM NORTH MARION
6:08:33PM STREET.
6:08:34PM I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH SOME PICTURES OF THE SITE.
6:08:42PM QUITE A LARGE SITE.
6:08:43PM TRIED TO CUT BACK ON NOT HAVING TOO MANY PICTURES.

6:08:47PM WE'LL START OUT ON FLORIDA AVENUE.
6:08:52PM THIS IS FLORIDA AVENUE HERE.
6:08:54PM THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE.
6:08:56PM YOU HAVE THE INTERSECTION OF HENDERSON AND FLORIDA AVENUE
6:08:58PM JUST TO THE NORTH.
6:09:00PM AND HERE WE ARE AT THAT INTERSECTION NOW.
6:09:01PM THE SUBJECT SITE WOULD BE BACK HERE.
6:09:04PM THIS IS HENDERSON GOING TOWARDS THE RIVER.
6:09:06PM THIS IS HENDERSON GOING EAST.
6:09:09PM THIS IS LOOKING BACK SOUTH TOWARDS DOWNTOWN.
6:09:11PM SO YOU HAVE THE SUBJECT SITE RIGHT HERE.
6:09:15PM NOW WE'RE MOVING EAST ON HENDERSON.
6:09:17PM SO THE SUBJECT SITE RUNS ALL THE WAY DOWN.
6:09:20PM THIS IS THE SALVATION ARMY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF HENDERSON.
6:09:24PM THIS IS LOOKING NORTH, SO THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THE
6:09:27PM SALVATION ARMY PROPERTY.
6:09:28PM THERE IS A STOREFRONT RESIDENTIAL CURRENTLY UNDER
6:09:31PM CONSTRUCTION APPROVED A FEW YEARS AGO.
6:09:33PM WE'RE MOVING FARTHER EAST ON HENDERSON.
6:09:37PM THIS IS STILL THE SUBJECT SITE.
6:09:38PM EXCUSE ME.
6:09:41PM WE MOVED FARTHER EAST ON HENDERSON AND NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT
6:09:43PM THE INTERSECTION OF HENDERSON AND MARION STREET.
6:09:45PM WE'RE LOOKING SOUTH ON MARION DOWN TOWARDS DOWNTOWN.
6:09:49PM THIS WOULD BE THE SUBJECT SITE AND THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE

6:09:52PM HERE AS WELL.
6:09:53PM NOW WE MOVE FARTHER EAST ON HENDERSON.
6:09:56PM WE'RE MOVING OUR WAY TOWARDS THE INTERSECTION OF MORGAN
6:09:59PM STREET.
6:09:59PM YOU HAVE THE SUBJECT SITE HERE.
6:10:01PM AND THIS IS STILL SALVATION ARMY PROPERTY.
6:10:04PM THIS IS THE INTERSECTION OF NORTH MORGAN AND HENDERSON.
6:10:08PM SO THE SUBJECT SITE WOULD BE BACK BEHIND ME.
6:10:11PM YOU HAVE THE SALVATION ARMY PROPERTY, THE MULTIFAMILY THAT
6:10:14PM IS APPROVED UNDER THE PD TO THE EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND
6:10:18PM THEN -- RESIDENTIAL UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
6:10:21PM NOW WE'RE LOOKING SOUTH ON MORGAN STREET.
6:10:24PM SUBJECT SITE HERE.
6:10:25PM THIS IS WHAT USED TO BE A CAR REPAIR SHOP, ZONED RM 24.
6:10:32PM IT'S NOT IN BUSINESS ANYMORE.
6:10:33PM WE'RE LOOKING SOUTH TOWARDS DOWNTOWN.
6:10:35PM NOW WE'RE LOOKING INTERIOR TO THE SUBJECT SITE FROM NORTH
6:10:39PM MORGAN STREET.
6:10:39PM THIS IS THE GRAND TREE PROPOSED TO BE PRESERVED.
6:10:42PM MOVING FURTHER SOUTH ON MORGAN, YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE
6:10:49PM SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS OCCURRED.
6:10:52PM THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE.
6:10:54PM WE MOVE TO THE INTERSECTION OF NORTH MORGAN STREET AND
6:11:00PM ESTELLE.
6:11:00PM YOU CAN SEE SINGLE FAMILY SEMI-DETACHED AND ATTACHED USES

6:11:07PM ALREADY CONSTRUCTED.
6:11:08PM NOW WE'RE LOOKING WEST ON ESTELLE TOWARDS FLORIDA AVENUE AND
6:11:12PM MARION STREET.
6:11:13PM THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE HERE.
6:11:15PM MOVING FURTHER EAST, THIS IS MARION.
6:11:19PM SO THIS WOULD BE THE EASTERN BLOCK WHERE THE TOWNHOMES ARE
6:11:22PM PROPOSED.
6:11:24PM NOW WE'RE LOOKING NORTH ON MARION STREET.
6:11:27PM YOU HAVE THE SUBJECT SITE ENCOMPASSES EITHER SIDE OF THE
6:11:31PM BLOCK.
6:11:31PM NOW WE'RE LOOKING SOUTH ON MARION.
6:11:34PM THE SUBJECT SITE WOULD BE ALONG HERE AND HERE.
6:11:37PM MOVING FURTHER EAST ON ESTELLE CLOSER TO FLORIDA, TECO
6:11:41PM SUBSTATION.
6:11:42PM THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE WHERE THE 18 STORY TOWER IS
6:11:45PM PROPOSED.
6:11:47PM LOOKING NORTH, THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE HERE ON ESTELLE AND
6:11:52PM THEN FINALLY WE'RE LOOKING OUR WAY BACK TO FLORIDA AVENUE
6:11:55PM WHERE IT MEETS ESTELLE.
6:11:57PM THIS IS LOOKING TOWARDS THE RIVER.
6:11:59PM NOW ALMOST BACK TO WHERE WE STARTED ON FLORIDA AVENUE.
6:12:02PM THIS IS THE BOTTOM END OF THE SUBJECT SITE WHERE THE 18
6:12:05PM STORY TOWER WILL BE.
6:12:06PM THIS IS LOOKING BACK SOUTH AT THE INTERSECTION OF ESTELLE
6:12:09PM AND FLORIDA.

6:12:10PM AND THEN FINALLY WE'VE WORKED OUR WAY BACK UP TO WHERE WE
6:12:16PM STARTED AND THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE HERE.
6:12:18PM PUT THE SITE PLAN BACK UP.
6:12:29PM DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE HAVE FOUND THE REQUEST TO
6:12:36PM BE INCONSISTENT.
6:12:37PM SEE THE FINDINGS FROM NATURAL RESOURCES, TRANSPORTATION AND
6:12:39PM DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION RELATED TO GREENSPACE, TREE
6:12:41PM RETENTION, LACK OF TYPE ONE SHADE TREES AND THE PARKING
6:12:45PM REDUCTION NOTWITHSTANDING STAFF'S FINDING OF INCONSISTENCY
6:12:48PM SHOULD IT BE THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE WAIVERS
6:12:50PM AS IDENTIFIED IN THE REPORT AND APPLICATION, MODIFICATIONS
6:12:52PM TO THE SITE PLAN MUST BE COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
6:12:56PM READING.
6:12:56PM THESE REVISIONS WILL NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUES OF
6:12:59PM INCONSISTENCY.
6:12:59PM I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
6:13:01PM IF NOT, I'LL TURN IT OVER.
6:13:02PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
6:13:03PM I SEE NONE.
6:13:04PM YES, SIR.
6:13:05PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
6:13:07PM >>DANNY COLLINS: DANNY COLLINS WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION
6:13:09PM STAFF.
6:13:10PM I WAS SWORN IN.
6:13:11PM THIS CASE IS WITHIN CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT,

6:13:14PM SPECIFICALLY IN THE TAMPA HEIGHTS URBAN VILLAGE.
6:13:17PM EVACUATION ZONE D.
6:13:18PM THE SITE IS -- SUBJECT SITE IS RECOGNIZED UNDER CC-35
6:13:23PM DESIGNATION.
6:13:24PM JUST TWO BLOCKS NORTH OF THE CBD.
6:13:30PM URBAN AREA.
6:13:30PM R 83 TO THE EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
6:13:33PM ALLOWS 83 DWELLINGS PER ACRE.
6:13:36PM WEST OF NORTH TAMPA RMU 100.
6:13:39PM APPLICANT IS USING THE CBD PERIPHERY BONUS PROPOSING 4.0

6:13:45PM THIS INTENSITY IS CONSISTENT WITH CC-35 DESIGNATION THROUGH
6:13:50PM THE CBD PERIPHERY BONUS.
6:13:53PM THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF DETERMINED THAT THE REQUEST
6:13:56PM ALIGNS WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA'S MIX OF USES AND WILL NOT
6:13:59PM ALTER THE CHARACTER OF THE TAMPA HEIGHTS URBAN VILLAGE.
6:14:03PM THE REQUEST ADDRESSES POLICIES FOR MIXED USE CENTERS AND
6:14:06PM CORRIDORS WITH A MIXED USE BUILDING POSITIONED CLOSE TO THE
6:14:09PM PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY, CREATING A STREET WALL ALONG NORTH
6:14:12PM FLORIDA AVENUE, EAST HENDERSON STREET, EAST ESTELLE STREET
6:14:16PM AND NORTH MARION STREET.
6:14:17PM A 12-FOOT SIDEWALK IS PROPOSED ALONG NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE
6:14:19PM AND EXISTING 6-FOOT SIDEWALKS ARE PROVIDED ALONG ALL
6:14:23PM ADJACENT STREETS WHICH WOULD ENCOURAGE A SAFE PEDESTRIAN
6:14:25PM ENVIRONMENT.

6:14:26PM THE DEVELOPMENT ALSO PROVIDES SAFE ACCESS TO TRANSIT STOPS
6:14:31PM ALONG NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE WHICH IS A DESIGNATED TRANSIT
6:14:34PM EMPHASIS CORRIDOR.
6:14:35PM THE REQUEST ALIGNS WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN'S HOUSING
6:14:40PM POLICIES BY PROVIDING HOUSING ON VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED
6:14:43PM LAND, HELP MEETING THE CITY'S CURRENT AND FUTURE POPULATION
6:14:47PM NEEDS.
6:14:47PM LASTLY, THE PROPOSED -- THE PROPOSAL PROVIDES INFILL
6:14:52PM DEVELOPMENT ON UNDERUTILIZED SITE IN PROXIMITY TO DOWNTOWN
6:14:55PM WHICH IS ENCOURAGED BY THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
6:14:57PM BASED ON THESE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
6:14:59PM FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA
6:15:01PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
6:15:02PM AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
6:15:05PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
6:15:05PM APPLICANT.
6:15:07PM YES, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
6:15:14PM >> ALEX SCHALER.
6:15:16PM 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
6:15:17PM WE DO HAVE ONE MEMBER OF OUR TEAM THAT NEEDS TO BE SWORN IN
6:15:19PM THAT'S GOING TO SPEAK.
6:15:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IF ANYBODY IS HERE TO SPEAK AND HAS NOT
6:15:23PM BEEN SWORN IN, PLEASE STAND AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND
6:15:26PM WE'LL SWEAR YOU IN.
6:15:28PM ANYBODY THAT WISHES TO SPEAK.

6:15:34PM [OATH ADMINISTERED]
6:15:40PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
6:15:48PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
6:15:49PM I AM HERE ON BEHALF OF THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM WITH THIS
6:15:53PM REZONING TONIGHT SIGHT DEVELOPMENT.
6:15:55PM MICHAEL MINCBERG AND JENNIFER LATIMER ARE HERE FROM SIGHT IN
6:15:59PM THE ROOM WITH US TONIGHT AS WELL AS LOCI CAPITAL.
6:16:01PM KIMLEY-HORN IS THE CIVIL ENGINEER ON THE PROJECT.
6:16:04PM BEN PLANT IS HERE FOR CIVIL QUESTIONS.
6:16:06PM AND GROH ARCHITECTURE DID THE DESIGN HERE.
6:16:08PM AND DARK MOSS, RICKY PETERIKA IS HERE TO TALK TREES, IF
6:16:14PM NEEDED.
6:16:20PM AS SAM MENTIONED, THIS SITE WAS APPROVED -- OR THESE
6:16:20PM ENTITLEMENTS THAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY WERE APPROVED ABOUT
6:16:21PM THREE YEARS, DECEMBER OF 2022.
6:16:22PM WE WERE UP HERE BEFORE YOU GUYS. YOU MIGHT REMEMBER THAT.
6:16:25PM THE WESTERN BUILDING WAS APPROVED FOR 18 FLOORS OF
6:16:28PM MULTIFAMILY.
6:16:28PM THE EAST SIDE, AS SAM MENTIONED, A SEVEN-STORY MULTIFAMILY
6:16:33PM BUILDING THAT WRAPPED AROUND STRUCTURED PARKING.
6:16:36PM FAST-FORWARD THREE YEARS, THE MARKET IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN
6:16:39PM IT WAS IN 2022.
6:16:40PM THE GOOD THINGS ABOUT PDs ARE THAT THEY ARE TAILORED, BUT
6:16:44PM THE BAD THINGS ABOUT PD IS THAT THEY ARE TAILORED.
6:16:48PM IF YOU MAKE CHANGES, YOU WIND UP BACK HERE.

6:16:50PM THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING THIS EVENING WITH A NEW PROPOSAL ON
6:16:52PM THE EAST BLOCK FOR THE 41 TOWNHOMES THAT WERE MENTIONED
6:16:57PM EARLIER.
6:16:57PM A LOT OF THE PRESENTATION I'M GOING TO FOCUS ON THE EAST
6:17:00PM BLOCK GIVEN THAT IS THE PORTION THAT'S DIFFERENT.
6:17:03PM I DID WANT TO PAUSE AND HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE MAIN
6:17:05PM COMPONENTS OF THE OVERALL APPLICATION.
6:17:08PM I DON'T THINK THERE IS SUCH THING AS A PERFECT PROJECT.
6:17:12PM MAYBE ONE DAY WE'LL BRING ONE TO YOU BUT HAVEN'T SO FAR.
6:17:16PM I THINK THIS PROJECT DOES ENCOMPASS SOME OF THESE CRITICAL
6:17:19PM COMPONENTS OF MIXED USE DESIGN THAT THIS COUNCIL HAS BEEN
6:17:23PM CHAMPIONING ON OTHER APPLICATIONS THAT WE'VE BROUGHT BEFORE
6:17:25PM YOU.
6:17:26PM I WANTED TO NOTE THAT THIS IS A MORE COMPATIBLE TRANSITION
6:17:29PM TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
6:17:30PM SEVEN STORY MULTIFAMILY IS OBVIOUSLY A STEP-DOWN FROM THE
6:17:33PM ARTERIAL FROM THE 18 FLOORS, BUT THESE THREE TO FOUR STORY
6:17:38PM TOWNHOMES ARE CLEARLY MORE BLENDABLE.
6:17:40PM YOU'RE PUTTING LESS DENSITY ON THE LOCAL STREETS, BOTH
6:17:43PM MARION AND MORGAN STREET.
6:17:45PM THE 15,000 SQUARE FEET OF GROUND FLOOR RETAIL ALONG FLORIDA
6:17:49PM IS STAYING.
6:17:50PM WE HAVE TWO NEW PROPOSED HART BUS STOPS, AS MENTIONED, AND
6:17:55PM THOSE STOPS TO FURTHER ELABORATE ON THOSE, ROUTE 1, 5, AND 6
6:17:59PM RUN THROUGH THEIR NORTHBOUND RIGHT NOW.

6:18:01PM I BELIEVE, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN DRC, I THINK THEY WANT TO
6:18:06PM ADD A SOUTHBOUND AT SOME POINT.
6:18:08PM I THINK THAT'S WHY WE LANDED ON THE TWO.
6:18:10PM AS MENTIONED, YES, WE ARE PROVIDING A 10% AFFORDABLE HOUSING
6:18:14PM SET-ASIDE BECAUSE WE ARE REQUESTING BONUS DENSITY HERE.
6:18:17PM THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE WEST BLOCK
6:18:20PM FOR CLARIFICATION.
6:18:21PM SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE EASTERN BLOCK SITE PLAN.
6:18:25PM AS SAM MENTIONED WE DID REDESIGN THE SITE A FEW TIMES TO TRY
6:18:29PM TO GET THE CURB CUTS LOWER ON THE LOCAL STREETS.
6:18:33PM IN WORKING WITH STAFF, WE FOUND THAT TWO WAS A DECENT NUMBER
6:18:37PM THERE, SO WE HAVE TWO ACCESS POINTS ALONG MORGAN.
6:18:40PM TWO ACCESS POINTS ALONG MARION.
6:18:42PM WE ARE PRESERVING THE GRAND TREE WITH THIS APPLICATION.
6:18:46PM BEFORE, JUST GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE MULTIFAMILY BUILDING
6:18:50PM FOOTPRINT WE WEREN'T ABLE TO PRESERVE IT.
6:18:52PM WITH THIS PROGRAMMING WE HAVE A LITTLE MORE FLEXIBILITY TO
6:18:54PM SHIFT STUFF AROUND.
6:18:56PM ALSO AS MENTIONED, WE ARE PROVIDING PEDESTRIAN ACCESS TO ALL
6:19:00PM OF THESE UNITS ALONG THE FRONTAGES EXCEPT FOR THE ONE.
6:19:03PM HOWEVER, IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO PLANNING COMMISSION THAT
6:19:06PM WE INCLUDE THIS INTERNAL NETWORK OF SIDEWALKS.
6:19:08PM SO THE THOUGHT IS THAT IF YOU'RE LOCATED IN A TOWNHOME IN
6:19:12PM THE MIDDLE, YOU CAN STILL ACCESS IT FROM ALL OF THESE
6:19:15PM DIFFERENT STREET FRONTAGES.

6:19:16PM WE'RE PROVIDING ON-STREET PARKING THAT AGAIN IS QUOTE
6:19:19PM CONCEPTUAL IN NATURE AT THIS STAGE.
6:19:22PM WE HAVE TO GET A RIGHT-OF-WAY PERMIT FOR THAT, BUT WE DO
6:19:24PM PLAN TO INSTALL THAT AS WELL.
6:19:26PM WE ARE REQUESTING FIVE WAIVERS WITH THIS APPLICATION.
6:19:30PM THREE OF WHICH I BELIEVE WERE APPROVED WITH THE PRIOR
6:19:33PM REZONING.
6:19:34PM GIVEN THE FACT THAT WE ARE CHANGING THE LAYOUT ON THE EAST
6:19:37PM BLOCK, THOSE WAIVERS DO NOT VEST.
6:19:39PM I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR THAT WE ARE REQUESTING THESE
6:19:43PM WAIVERS AGAIN ANEW TONIGHT THOUGH WE DO FEEL THEY WERE
6:19:46PM APPROVED BEFORE IN SOME FORM.
6:19:48PM LITTLE BIT OF PRECEDENT THERE.
6:19:49PM FIRST IS A LOADING WAIVER.
6:19:51PM WE'RE REQUIRED FIVE.
6:19:52PM THAT'S BECAUSE THE MULTIFAMILY BUILDING ON THE WEST IS SO
6:19:54PM LARGE AND IT IS A SQUARE FOOTAGE REQUIREMENT.
6:19:57PM WE ARE VERY CONFIDENT THAT TWO IS PLENTY.
6:20:00PM THAT WILL ACCOMMODATE MULTIFAMILY MOVE-IN, MOVE-OUT, AS WELL
6:20:04PM AS LOADING, UNLOADING ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMMERCIAL ON THE
6:20:09PM GROUND FLOOR.
6:20:10PM NEXT WAIVER IS IN REGARDS TO PARKING.
6:20:14PM I KNOW THIS IS A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES.
6:20:17PM THIS IS A VERY LARGE DEVELOPMENT.
6:20:19PM BUT I DID WANT TO BREAK IT DOWN INTO THE RATIOS.

6:20:21PM APPROXIMATE, VERY, VERY CLOSE TO HOW WE GOT THE TOTAL NUMBER
6:20:25PM HERE.
6:20:26PM THE MULTIFAMILY IS BEING PARKED AT ONE SPACE PER UNIT,
6:20:30PM THAT'S UTILIZING THAT STOREFRONT RESIDENTIAL USE IN THE
6:20:33PM CODE, GIVEN THE GROUND FLOOR.
6:20:34PM THE COMMERCIAL, NONRESIDENTIAL, WE GET A DISCOUNT IN THE
6:20:38PM TAMPA HEIGHTS OVERLAY.
6:20:39PM SO WE ARE PROVIDING TWO SPACES INSTEAD OF THE TYPICAL
6:20:42PM REQUIRED FOUR FOR GROUND FLOOR RETAIL.
6:20:45PM THE TOWNHOMES ARE PARKED TWO SPACES PER UNIT WITH THE CAVEAT
6:20:49PM OF THE FIVE ONE-CAR GARAGES THAT PARKING IS PLACED
6:20:53PM ELSEWHERE.
6:20:53PM AND WE ARE PROVIDING THE REQUIRED 25% VISITOR SPACES FOR THE
6:20:57PM TOWNHOME.
6:20:58PM THOSE WILL BE ACCOMMODATED IN THE MULTIFAMILY PARKING GARAGE
6:21:02PM ACROSS THE STREET.
6:21:03PM SO WE ARE REQUESTING A 2% WAIVER.
6:21:05PM AGAIN, NOMINAL.
6:21:06PM AS SAM MENTIONED, WE CHOSE NOT TO INCLUDE THE ON STREET
6:21:10PM PARKING JUST IN THE UNFORESEEN EVENT FOR SOME REASON WE
6:21:13PM COULDN'T GET IT PERMITTED.
6:21:14PM AGAIN, IT'S PART OF THE PROPOSAL.
6:21:16PM WE DO HAVE TO REQUEST A WAIVER FOR THESE FIVE ONE-CAR GARAGE
6:21:21PM UNITS.
6:21:22PM AS MENTIONED, THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF STREET PARKING

6:21:24PM AVAILABLE.
6:21:25PM THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF EXTRA SPACES AS PART OF THAT 25%
6:21:29PM VISITOR IN THE GARAGE.
6:21:30PM BUT WE DO HAVE FIVE OF THE UNITS THAT ONLY HAVE A ONE-CAR
6:21:34PM GARAGE.
6:21:35PM THESE ARE FOR SALE UNITS.
6:21:36PM YOU WOULD KNOW AT TIME OF PURCHASE IF YOU HAVE TWO CARS,
6:21:39PM OBVIOUSLY WEIGH THAT INTO YOUR DECISION, BUT DID WANT TO BE
6:21:43PM CLEAR ABOUT THAT, DOES HAVE TO BE A WAIVER ON THE PLAN.
6:21:46PM IN TERMS OF TREES, AS MENTIONED, PRESERVING THE GRAND TREE,
6:21:50PM REMOVING ANOTHER GRAND THAT AGAIN THIS WAIVER WAS OBTAINED
6:21:53PM WITH THE PRIOR REZONING, THAT ONE BEING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
6:21:56PM SITE.
6:21:56PM IT'S REALLY HARD TO DESIGN AROUND THAT WITH THE PROTECTION
6:21:59PM RADIUS THAT'S NEEDED THERE.
6:22:01PM AND THEN OUR TREE RETENTION ACTUALLY INCREASED FROM BEFORE.
6:22:06PM THE ORIGINAL WAIVER WAS 50% TO ZERO PERCENT, AGAIN, GIVEN
6:22:11PM THE LARGE FOOTPRINT, WITH THE TOWNHOMES ABLE TO SAVE A
6:22:14PM LITTLE MORE.
6:22:14PM THE REQUEST FOR THIS REZONING IS 50% TO 28%, WHICH IS A BIT
6:22:20PM HIGHER THAN A LOT OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE BRING BEFORE YOU
6:22:22PM IN THIS AREA.
6:22:23PM THE LAST WAIVER THAT WE'RE REQUESTING IS GREENSPACE.
6:22:27PM I'M GOING TO TRY TO EXPLAIN THIS AS SIMPLY AS I CAN.
6:22:34PM GREENSPACE MEASURED IN TWO DIFFERENT BUCKETS.

6:22:36PM VUA GREENSPACE, WHICH IS GREENSPACE THAT'S REQUIRED BASED ON
6:22:40PM YOUR DRIVE AISLES, SURFACE PARKING, ANY VEHICULAR USE AREA
6:22:44PM AND THEN USE GREENSPACE REQUIRED BASED OFF OF THE TYPE OF
6:22:50PM PROGRAMMING PROVIDING.
6:22:51PM THOSE TWO TOGETHER COMBINED COME UP WITH A TOTAL GREENSPACE
6:22:54PM REQUIRED, SLASH, PROVIDED.
6:22:55PM ON THE EAST BLOCK SPECIFICALLY, WE ARE REQUESTING A PER UNIT
6:23:01PM REDUCTION IN GREENSPACE.
6:23:02PM THERE ARE A COUPLE OF REASONS FOR THAT.
6:23:04PM THE FIRST IS THAT AS YOU CAN SEE, HATCHED THE VUA AREAS IN
6:23:10PM GRAY.
6:23:11PM WE DID NOT HAVE ANY VUA IN THE PRIOR REZONING APPLICATION.
6:23:14PM OBVIOUSLY ALL ONE LARGE FOOTPRINT.
6:23:15PM WITH THE VUA, NOW REQUIREMENTS HAVE INCREASED.
6:23:19PM AND THEN THE PER SPACE OR PER UNIT SQUARE FOOTAGE OF
6:23:23PM GREENSPACE OBVIOUSLY INCREASES WITH THIS TYPE OF PROGRAMMING
6:23:26PM VERSUS THE 30% FRINGE AREA OF TYPICAL MULTIFAMILY BUILDING.
6:23:31PM ALL OF THAT IS TO SAY THAT THE THRESHOLDS WENT UP.
6:23:34PM WHAT WE'RE PROVIDING WENT UP, BUT THERE'S STILL A BIT OF A
6:23:38PM DEFICIT THERE BECAUSE WE ARE PROVIDING 34% MORE GREENSPACE
6:23:42PM THAN WHAT IS CURRENTLY APPROVED FOR THE SITE TODAY.
6:23:45PM AGAIN, IT ENDED UP RESULTING IN A WAIVER.
6:23:47PM I KNOW THAT IS A BIT CONFUSING.
6:23:49PM LIKE I SAID, THRESHOLD WENT UP.
6:23:51PM WE WENT UP WITH THE THRESHOLD, BUT THERE WAS STILL A LITTLE

6:23:53PM BIT LEFT THAT WE COULDN'T QUITE MAKE UP.
6:23:56PM ARGUABLY, THE MOST IMPORTANT SLIDE OF THE PRESENTATION, WE
6:23:59PM DO HAVE THE SUPPORT OF THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
6:24:02PM I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL RECEIVED THE LETTER.
6:24:04PM I DIDN'T SEE THEM IN OnBase BUT I HAVE COPIES IF THEY HAVE
6:24:06PM NOT BEEN SEEN.
6:24:08PM SO I WILL GIVE THOSE TO MR. SHELBY AND HE CAN PASS THEM
6:24:11PM AROUND.
6:24:12PM I AM FINISHED WITH MY PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION, BUT I AM
6:24:14PM GOING TO BRING UP MICHAEL MINCBERG WITH SIGHT DEVELOPMENT.
6:24:22PM SHE'LL SHARE SOME OF THE GREAT WORK THEY HAVE DONE IN THE
6:24:29PM TAMPA BAY AREA.
6:24:29PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
6:24:30PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
6:24:31PM MY NAME IS MICHAEL MINCBERG, 1502 NORTH NEBRASKA AVENUE.
6:24:37PM PRINCIPAL AT SIGHT DEVELOPMENT, ONE OF THE CODEVELOPERS ON
6:24:42PM THIS PROJECT.
6:24:42PM WE WERE BROUGHT IN TO RETHINK THIS PROJECT WITH LOCI.
6:24:51PM AS ALEX SAID, THE MARKET HAS CHANGED AND HAVING TWO
6:24:52PM HIGH-RISES -- OR A HIGH-RISE AND MID-RISE JUST DIDN'T WORK
6:24:55PM TODAY.
6:24:55PM WE WERE EXCITED TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK ON WHAT WE
6:24:58PM THINK IS REALLY A CRITICAL SECTION OF THE URBAN CORE RIGHT
6:25:04PM NOW, AND I THINK IT'S REALLY DYNAMIC BUT ALSO A FRAGILE
6:25:09PM POINT.

6:25:10PM THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT THERE IN THAT AREA, BUT
6:25:13PM THERE'S ALSO STILL A LOT OF BLIGHT AND ISSUES IN THAT
6:25:20PM LOCATION.
6:25:21PM I DRIVE IT A LOT BECAUSE MY OFFICE IS ON NEBRASKA.
6:25:24PM I GO BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN 7th AVENUE REALLY IN YBOR AND
6:25:29PM WHATNOT.
6:25:31PM THERE'S A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT GOING ON THERE RIGHT NOW.
6:25:35PM WE THINK THIS IS A GOOD ADDITION TO THAT.
6:25:38PM WE FOCUS ON THESE TOWNHOMES THAT REALLY ADD SOME HOME
6:25:42PM OWNERSHIP ALONG WITH JUST A RENTAL COMMUNITY.
6:25:45PM I THINK THE REASON THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION SUPPORTED THIS WAS
6:25:49PM REALLY FOR A FEW REASONS.
6:25:50PM ONE, THEY SAW THE ADDITION OF THE GRAND TREE, MORE
6:25:55PM GREENSPACE, AND THEN THE PHASING DOWN FROM SEVEN STORIES TO
6:26:01PM THREE STORIES AS WE MOVE INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
6:26:03PM AND IN ADDITION, ON TOP OF THAT, OPPORTUNITIES FOR HOME
6:26:06PM OWNERSHIP WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOT JUST FOR RENT
6:26:09PM HOUSING, WHICH IS A KEY COMPONENT.
6:26:12PM SO WE'RE JUST EXCITED TO BE HERE, BE PART OF THE PROJECT AND
6:26:15PM WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING.
6:26:18PM THANK YOU.
6:26:18PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
6:26:19PM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, QUESTIONS.
6:26:20PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YES.
6:26:22PM MS. SCHALER, YOU DID AN EXCELLENT JOB, BUT I DO HAVE SOME

6:26:27PM QUESTIONS.
6:26:27PM I DO LIKE THAT THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING, THE TREE, BUT THIS IS
6:26:34PM GOING TO BE MY NEW HOBBY HORSE, SO JUST -- BIKE PARKING.
6:26:40PM BIKES ARE EXPENSIVE.
6:26:42PM NO ONE WANTS TO PARK THEIR BIKE OUTSIDE IN THE SUN.
6:26:45PM SO I'M EXPECTING TO SEE, ESPECIALLY IN THE COMMERCIAL SPACE,
6:26:50PM PROTECTED BIKE PARKING THAT IS CLOSE TO THE ENTRANCES, SAFE
6:26:55PM PLACES THAT YOUR COMMERCIAL TENANT OR YOUR COMMERCIAL
6:27:03PM CONSUMERS WILL COME AND PARK.
6:27:05PM ALSO, I'M CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT KIND OF BIKE PARKING YOU'RE
6:27:09PM PROVIDING WITHIN.
6:27:12PM MR. THOMAS MENTIONED SOME BUT I WASN'T ABLE TO SEE IT ON THE
6:27:17PM SITE PLAN.
6:27:17PM IF YOU CAN ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT -- YEAH, IF YOU COULD
6:27:20PM ELABORATE ABOUT YOUR BIKE PARKING FOR THE PEOPLE LIVING IN
6:27:23PM THE TOWER.
6:27:31PM >> SURE.
6:27:32PM >> FRANKLY, TO HAVE A MARKETABLE APARTMENT BUILDING THESE
6:27:35PM DAYS, PEOPLE HAVE NICE BIKES.
6:27:37PM WE HAVE DEDICATED DESIGN ROOMS FOR BIKE STORAGE, EVEN ROOMS
6:27:42PM FOR PEOPLE TO COME WORK ON THEIR BIKES AND HAVE TOOLS
6:27:45PM AVAILABLE.
6:27:46PM THAT'S JUST PART OF THE INTERNAL PLAN IN THERE.
6:27:50PM WE DON'T GET CREDIT FOR THAT ON THE ZONING.
6:27:55PM AND, OF COURSE, PEOPLE IN THE TOWNHOMES CAN PUT THEM IN

6:27:58PM THEIR GARAGES OR WHATNOT.
6:27:59PM THOSE ARE REALLY MORE FOR TRANSIENT PEOPLE COMING TO VISIT
6:28:02PM WHO WANT TO LOCK IT UP OR CAN'T PUT IT INSIDE, JUST ENGAGING
6:28:08PM WITH THE COMMUNITY AND PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC.
6:28:11PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I APPRECIATE THAT.
6:28:13PM I WOULD STILL SAY THE PEOPLE VISITING THE TOWNHOMES ARE
6:28:15PM GOING TO WANT MORE PROTECTED BIKE, AS WE DO WITH A LOT OF
6:28:19PM E-BIKES BETWEEN SUN AND RAIN.
6:28:23PM LIKE I SAID, YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR THIS FROM ME EVERY SINGLE
6:28:27PM TIME, ESPECIALLY WHERE YOU ARE, EVERYONE IS GOING TO BE
6:28:30PM E-BIKING DOWNTOWN OR REGULAR BIKING.
6:28:32PM BUT FOR ME, I DO APPRECIATE -- AND I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THE
6:28:36PM SQUARE FOOTAGE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
6:28:39PM I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE LOOKS LIKE FOR
6:28:42PM A BIKE ROOM, BUT ALSO, AGAIN, TO HAVE COVERED, PROTECTED
6:28:47PM BIKE PARKING FOR THE COMMERCIAL SPACES AND THE VISITORS TO
6:28:52PM THAT.
6:28:53PM ALSO, IF YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW, BECAUSE IT'S RELATIVELY
6:28:57PM NEW, MORGAN STREET IS GOING TO BE A BIKEWAY.
6:28:59PM IT'S GOING TO BE PROTECTED DOWNTOWN AND IT'S GOING TO BE
6:29:02PM JUST KIND OF ON STREET OR MORE OF A SHARROW IN THAT AREA.
6:29:07PM I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED WITH THE ON-STREET PARKING.
6:29:10PM BUT, AGAIN, I WOULD WORK WITH THE CITY ON THAT.
6:29:13PM I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW, AND IT'S GOING TO CONNECT TO
6:29:17PM 7th.

6:29:18PM FROM 7th, THAT'S THE BIG CONNECTOR UP THROUGH THE HEIGHTS
6:29:22PM ON CENTRAL AVENUE.
6:29:24PM IT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY WONDERFUL CONNECTION WHERE YOU'LL
6:29:27PM BE ABLE TO GO ALL THE WAY FROM THE RIVER ALL THE WAY DOWN TO
6:29:30PM THE GREEN ARTERY, OR RATHER THE SELMON GREENWAY.
6:29:37PM I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT
6:29:40PM YOU HAVE -- THAT AGAIN, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S IMPORTANT TO
6:29:43PM ME.
6:29:44PM JUST GREAT JOB OVERALL.
6:29:47PM JUST WANT TO ADD A LITTLE MORE BIKE-WISE.
6:29:50PM >> SURE.
6:29:51PM WE'RE HAPPY TO PUT ON THE REVISION SHEET THAT WE CAN
6:29:54PM DELINEATE, ADD INTERNAL BIKE STORAGE, MAKE SURE IT IS
6:29:57PM DELINEATED BETWEEN READINGS.
6:29:59PM THAT'S EXACTLY WHY WE DID NOT WANT TO COUNT THE PARKING
6:30:03PM SPACES.
6:30:04PM IT'S TOO FAR IN ADVANCE FOR US TO COUNT THAT.
6:30:06PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I'M NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE REDUCTION IN
6:30:08PM PARKING.
6:30:09PM IT'S VERY, VERY MINIMAL.
6:30:11PM QUITE FRANKLY, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE BUT I ALSO SEE YOUR
6:30:13PM NEED FOR COMMERCIAL PARKING AND PROVIDING, IF YOU HAVE
6:30:17PM EXTRA, YOU HAVE EXTRA.
6:30:19PM I'M NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE PARKING.
6:30:20PM BUT THANK YOU.

6:30:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA AND CLENDENIN.
6:30:24PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YOU MENTIONED AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
6:30:26PM CAN YOU TELL US AT WHAT RANGE?
6:30:30PM >> HALF AT 80% AND HALF AT 120%.
6:30:33PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THE SECOND ONE, YOU MENTIONED GREENSPACE,
6:30:35PM 240 FEET THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT.
6:30:38PM IT'S FROM MR. SHELBY THIS WAY, THAT'S 240 FEET, 10 BY 24.
6:30:43PM THANK YOU FOR THAT.
6:30:44PM YOU MENTIONED GOING FROM 5 TO 2 IN THE LOADING SPACES BUT
6:30:48PM YOU NEVER MENTIONED THE SIZE OF THE LOADING SPACE.
6:30:51PM >> SURE.
6:30:51PM I THINK THOSE ARE 12 BY 30.
6:30:55PM -- OR 12 BY 60s.
6:30:58PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I REMEMBER THAT AREA --
6:31:00PM >> TWO 12 BY 30, SO BOX TRUCK SIZE.
6:31:04PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THAT USED TO BE THE OLD FORD AND HE SOLD
6:31:09PM TO BILL CURRIE AND BILL CURRIE SAW THE VISION WHAT WAS
6:31:12PM HAPPENING IN DOWNTOWN.
6:31:13PM SMART ENOUGH TO MOVE TO DALE MABRY MANY YEARS AGO.
6:31:16PM BUT I KNOW THE AREA REAL WELL.
6:31:19PM IT WAS A HUB OF DOWNTOWN THAT WAS REALLY BUZZING AT ONE
6:31:23PM TIME.
6:31:23PM >> FUNNY THAT YOU BROUGHT UP THE GREENSPACE, TOO, BECAUSE I
6:31:26PM WAS GOOGLING HOW CAN YOU VISUALIZE 250 SQUARE FEET.
6:31:30PM I GOT BACK THAT IT WAS THE SIZE OF A HOTEL ROOM WHICH I

6:31:33PM THOUGHT WAS INTERESTING.
6:31:34PM IT'S LIKE A HOTEL ROOM OF GREENSPACE FOR EACH UNIT.
6:31:46PM >> YOU STAY IN NICE HOTELS.
6:31:46PM [ LAUGHTER ]
6:31:46PM >> YEAH, I WAS GOING TO SAY, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S CORRECT
6:31:46PM OR NOT, BUT THAT WAS ChatGPT'S ANSWER.
6:31:49PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MY HOTEL ROOMS ARE NEVER THAT BIG.
6:31:52PM KIND OF PIGGYBACKING ON COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, THE BIKE
6:31:58PM SPACES, YOU HAVE ON THE PLAN CONCEPTUAL.
6:32:02PM >> DURING PERMITTING SOMETIMES WE'LL SHIFT THEM AROUND, IF
6:32:04PM THERE ARE UTILITIES OR TREES IN THE WAY, WE WANT THE
6:32:06PM FLEXIBILITY TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THEM.
6:32:08PM BUT THAT NUMBER OF RACKS AND THOSE NUMBER OF SPACES ARE
6:32:10PM STILL GOING TO BE ACCOMMODATED.
6:32:14PM WE'RE REQUIRED PER CODE.
6:32:19PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS IS PROBABLY NOT SOMETHING THAT IS A
6:32:26PM NONSTARTER.
6:32:27PM IT'S LIKE A FOOTBALL FIELD IN LENGTH FROM ONE END TO THE
6:32:31PM OTHER.
6:32:31PM THE ONLY TRASH RECEPTACLE IS ON ONE FAR END.
6:32:35PM IS THAT COMMERCIALLY VIABLE IN DESIGNING THESE THINGS?
6:32:40PM >> WE'VE DONE A LOT OF TOWNHOMES.
6:32:43PM COUPLE HUNDRED UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW IN THE CITY OF
6:32:45PM TAMPA.
6:32:46PM THAT'S PRETTY STANDARD.

6:32:49PM GETTING A LOCATION FOR A DUMPSTER AND, FIRST OF ALL, THEY
6:32:53PM ARE NOT SIGHTLY.
6:32:56PM DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE AND BEING ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS AND
6:33:00PM TURNAROUND FOR YOUR TRASH TRUCKS.
6:33:02PM IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE, YOU'RE GOING TO EAT UP SO MUCH OF
6:33:07PM YOUR SITE.
6:33:08PM WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE CITY, IF I COULD TAKE A MOMENT,
6:33:11PM ALLOW FOR MORE ROLLOUT TRASH FOR PEOPLE -- AND WE HAVE
6:33:16PM PROJECTS IN YBOR CITY WHERE THEY DON'T WANT THE DUMPSTERS,
6:33:19PM THEY ALLOW EACH UNIT TO KEEP IT IN THE GARAGE AND ROLL IT
6:33:23PM OUT.
6:33:23PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR BECAUSE THAT
6:33:25PM WOULD REQUIRE BIGGER GARAGES.
6:33:28PM >> IF I HAD THE SPACE BACK FROM THE DUMPSTER.
6:33:31PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE HAD ANOTHER PROJECT, BECAUSE WITH AN
6:33:34PM HOA THEY ENDED UP HAVING TRASH PICKUP SERVICE SO PEOPLE
6:33:38PM COULD DUMP THE BAG OUT BETWEEN A COUPLE OF HOURS ONE DAY AND
6:33:42PM COME BY AND PICK IT UP.
6:33:46PM >> I'LL HAVE TO LOOK INTO THAT.
6:33:48PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE JUST RECENTLY PASSED THAT.
6:33:50PM THAT FREES UP A LOT OF REAL ESTATE.
6:33:55PM NO ONE WANTS THE UNIT NEXT TO THE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE.
6:33:59PM WE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN.
6:34:03PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY HERE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM
6:34:05PM NUMBER 4?

6:34:05PM WE HAVE SOMEONE COMING UP.
6:34:09PM YES.
6:34:10PM COME ON UP.
6:34:10PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
6:34:16PM >> HI.
6:34:16PM MY NAME IS CARROLL ANN BENNETT.
6:34:18PM I'VE BEEN TO WASHINGTON, D.C. MANY, MANY TIMES.
6:34:23PM MY SON LIVED THERE FOR TEN YEARS.
6:34:25PM I WENT THERE MANY TIMES BEFOREHAND.
6:34:28PM HE LIVED IN LOTS OF PLACES.
6:34:31PM I'VE BEEN ALL OVER THE CITY.
6:34:33PM ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVED ABOUT IT, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
6:34:35PM MADE IT SO WONDERFUL AND SO WALKABLE WAS THE GREENSPACE AND
6:34:38PM THE TREES.
6:34:38PM YOU WALK DOWN A SIDEWALK AND NEXT TO YOU THERE WOULD BE JUST
6:34:42PM A LITTLE BIT OF GREENSPACE AND A STREET TREE ALL UP AND DOWN
6:34:47PM THE STREETS, PEOPLE WALKED IN THE SHADE.
6:34:49PM I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE BEEN TO D.C. IN THE SUMMER, BUT IT
6:34:52PM CAN BE, I MEAN, FOR ME, I'M OUT THERE GOING HOLY, THIS IS
6:34:56PM HOT.
6:34:56PM THE NUMBER OF 90-DEGREE DAYS THAT WE'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING IN
6:35:02PM TAMPA HAS DOUBLED.
6:35:04PM I SAW THAT ON THE NEWS TWO DAYS AGO.
6:35:06PM WE'RE GETTING TWICE AS MANY DAYS THAT ARE OVER 90 DEGREES
6:35:09PM THAN WE USED TO.

6:35:10PM MY CONCERN ABOUT THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THAT
6:35:14PM MAKES A COMMUNITY WALKABLE, ESPECIALLY IN FLORIDA, IS SHADE.
6:35:17PM I SAW THOSE PICTURES AND I SAW PALM TREES.
6:35:21PM THEY ARE REMOVING 14 TYPE ONE TREES.
6:35:24PM THE STAFF REPORT SAYS THE ISSUES RAISED BY NATURAL RESOURCES
6:35:28PM ARE ESSENTIAL TO CREATE A HOSPITABLE AND INVITING URBAN
6:35:31PM MIXED USE ENVIRONMENT.
6:35:34PM THERE ARE A LOT OF GREAT THINGS ABOUT THIS PROJECT.
6:35:37PM BUT I THINK WITH A LOT OF SMART PEOPLE AND SOME CREATIVITY
6:35:40PM AND SOME UNDERSTANDING, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN BUILT AND SAVED
6:35:47PM THOSE 14 STREET TREES ALREADY EXISTING OR CREATED ROOM TO
6:35:51PM PUT THEM.
6:35:52PM I THINK WE'VE GOT TO START EMPHASIZING THAT.
6:35:54PM BECAUSE IF WE WANT WALKABILITY, PEOPLE RIDING BIKES, IF D.C.
6:35:59PM CAN DO IT, A BIG CITY LIKE THAT, IF THEY CAN DO IT, WE CAN
6:36:04PM DO IT.
6:36:04PM BUT WE HAVE TO MAKE IT A PRIORITY AND HAVE A LITTLE
6:36:07PM CREATIVITY.
6:36:09PM I'M VERY UNHAPPY TO SEE THE 14 TYPE 1 STREET TREES BEING
6:36:13PM REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH PALM TREES.
6:36:16PM IT'S LIKE WE'RE NEVER GOING TO LEARN.
6:36:18PM THANK YOU.
6:36:19PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE?
6:36:20PM IS THERE REBUTTAL?
6:36:32PM >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL.

6:36:33PM RICKY PETERIKA.
6:36:35PM DARK MOSS.
6:36:36PM I'VE BEEN SWORN.
6:36:37PM THE RENDERING THAT WAS SHOWN DOES KIND OF COMPLICATE AND
6:36:47PM COMPARED TO THE LANDSCAPE PLAN THAT WAS PROVIDED, THERE ARE
6:36:51PM MUCH LESS PALMS PROPOSED THAN WHAT THE RENDERINGS SUGGESTED.
6:36:56PM HOWEVER, RELATIVE TO TYPE ONE TREES, THERE IS SPACE TO
6:37:02PM PROVIDE THEM, BUT THERE ARE OVERHEAD UTILITIES ON THREE
6:37:09PM SIDES, FOUR SIDES.
6:37:10PM THAT RESTRICT THAT.
6:37:12PM SO WE'RE PROVIDING THE LARGEST TREE THAT WE CAN ACCOMMODATE
6:37:17PM WITH THE BUILDING SETBACKS AND HARD SCAPE SEPARATIONS THAT
6:37:20PM WE'VE BEEN NEGOTIATING -- NEGOTIATING WITH NATURAL RESOURCES
6:37:24PM PROJECT AFTER PROJECT WHICH ARE TYPE THREE AND TYPE TWO
6:37:28PM TREES WHERE THEY FIT, AND THEN IN BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS, WE
6:37:31PM HAVE TYPE ONE TREES.
6:37:33PM THE TOTAL NUMBER OF TREES ON THE SITE ON THE COMBINED SITES
6:37:37PM HAS NOW TRIPLED WITH THIS PROPOSAL AND ALL OF THEM ARE
6:37:42PM PROVIDED THE GREENSPACE OR THE ROOTING VOLUME AND CANOPY
6:37:47PM AREA FOR THEM TO MATURE INTO THEIR DESIRABLE SIZE.
6:37:52PM COULD I FIT MORE TYPE ONES, YES, IF THERE WASN'T AN OVERHEAD
6:37:57PM CONSTRAINT.
6:37:57PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK.
6:37:59PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I KNOW THIS IS TECHNICALLY A NEW APPLICATION,
6:38:03PM BUT I VAGUELY REMEMBER THE LAST PD ONE OF THE THINGS THAT

6:38:09PM YOU ALL WERE GOING TO DO WAS UNDERGROUND UTILITIES.
6:38:14PM I'M ASSUMING NO LONGER THE CASE.
6:38:18PM >> THAT'S RIGHT.
6:38:19PM SO THAT WAS WHAT WE WERE DOING TO COMPLY WITH BONUS DENSITY.
6:38:23PM AND WE SUBSTITUTED THAT FOR THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
6:38:26PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I FIGURED, BUT I FELT LIKE I WANTED TO ASK.
6:38:32PM I APPRECIATE THAT.
6:38:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.

6:38:54PM PROJECT.
6:38:55PM PROVIDE AND SHOW THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE BIKE STORAGE AREA
6:38:57PM FOR THE RESIDENTIAL PORTION ON THE WESTERN BLOCK, AND THEN
6:39:00PM ANOTHER CHANGE WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION.
6:39:03PM THEY NEED TO REVISE WAIVER 3 TO BRING THE TREE RETENTION
6:39:07PM FROM, THAT'S STATED AT 28%, NEEDS TO STAY 27%.
6:39:13PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE.

6:51:48PM PLACED.
6:51:49PM SO I BELIEVE THAT WOULD SUFFICE WITHOUT HAVING TO DISCLOSE

6:56:18PM DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE
6:56:22PM PETITION AND FINDS THE REQUEST INCONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF
6:56:24PM TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS DUE TO THE REQUESTED
6:56:27PM TRANSPORTATION WAIVER.
6:56:29PM DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION DID FIND THE PROPOSED REZONING
6:56:32PM CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AS THE SITE
6:56:35PM DOES PROVIDE COMPATIBLE INFILL DEVELOPMENT ON AN

6:56:38PM UNDERUTILIZED LOT.
6:56:39PM SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED ALONG AN ARTERIAL ROADWAY.
6:56:42PM THE SITE PROVIDES A TRANSITION FROM A BUSY ROADWAY TO AN
6:56:46PM ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE AREAS PLANNED FOR
6:56:49PM ADDITIONAL DENSITY.
6:56:50PM NOTWITHSTANDING STAFF'S FINDING OF INCONSISTENCY, IF CITY
6:56:53PM COUNCIL APPROVED THE APPLICATION, THE MODIFICATIONS TO THE
6:56:55PM SITE PLAN AS SHOWN ON THE SUBMITTED REVISION SHEET MUST BE
6:56:59PM COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
6:57:01PM THESE REVISIONS WILL NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUES OF
6:57:04PM TRANSPORTATION'S INCONSISTENT FINDING.
6:57:06PM I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
6:57:08PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE GENTLEMAN?
6:57:11PM I SEE NONE.
6:57:12PM MR. COLLINS.
6:57:18PM >>DANNY COLLINS: DANNY COLLINS WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION
6:57:20PM STAFF.
6:57:20PM I WAS SWORN IN.
6:57:21PM OUR NEXT CASE IS WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT,
6:57:27PM EAST TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE AND SPECIFICALLY THE JACKSON
6:57:30PM HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD.
6:57:31PM IT'S WITHIN THE EVACUATION ZONE E.
6:57:34PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS DESIGNATED AS R-20.
6:57:38PM R-20 IS TO THE NORTH, EAST, AND WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
6:57:42PM WE HAVE SOME CMU 35 DESIGNATED TO THE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT

6:57:46PM SITE.
6:57:47PM THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FOUND
6:57:50PM IT CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE R-20
6:57:54PM DESIGNATION AS WELL AS POLICIES PROMOTING INFILL
6:57:57PM DEVELOPMENT.
6:57:57PM THE DEVELOPMENT WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL HOUSING IN THE
6:58:00PM JACKSON HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD AND EAST TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE.
6:58:04PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DIRECTS THE GREATEST SHARE OF GROWTH
6:58:07PM TO THE CITY'S URBAN VILLAGES.
6:58:09PM THE SITE IS ALSO LOCATED NEAR TRANSIT EMPLOYMENT AND
6:58:12PM ENTERTAINMENT OPTIONS MAKING IT SUITABLE FOR ADDITIONAL
6:58:15PM HOUSING CHOICES.
6:58:16PM THE REQUEST WAS ALSO FOUND COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE,
6:58:24PM PUBLIC, SEMI-PUBLIC USES.
6:58:25PM FINALLY, THE DESIGN FOLLOWS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNS
6:58:29PM GUIDANCE FOR SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED USES WITH ENTRANCES
6:58:32PM ORIENTED TOWARDS EAST COLUMBUS DRIVE AND VEHICULAR ACCESS
6:58:35PM PROVIDED FROM THE ADJACENT ALLEY.
6:58:37PM DESIGN WILL HELP PROMOTE A MORE PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY
6:58:41PM ENVIRONMENT, ESPECIALLY ALONG A TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDOR.
6:58:45PM BASED ON THESE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
6:58:48PM FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA
6:58:50PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
6:58:51PM THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
6:58:52PM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

6:58:53PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE GENTLEMAN?

6:59:13PM I'M A PARTNER, AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPERS, BORN AND
6:59:20PM RAISED IN TAMPA.
6:59:20PM THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO CONSTRUCT
6:59:25PM IS WHAT WE FELT WAS -- YOU KNOW, IT ALIGNS WITH THE CURRENT
6:59:31PM DENSITY THERE AS WELL AS SOME OF THE FUTURE GROWTH THAT IS
6:59:36PM EXPECTED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
6:59:38PM WE COULD HAVE WENT UP THREE STORIES TO KIND OF, BASICALLY
6:59:43PM THE REASON THAT WE DID THE WAIVER FOR THE BACK OUT WAS TO
6:59:48PM AVOID GOING THREE STORIES AND TO REMAIN IN ACCORDANCE WITH
6:59:54PM EVERYTHING ELSE THAT'S ON COLUMBUS.
6:59:56PM WE FEEL LIKE THE GROWTH IS GOING FROM THE WEST TOWARDS THE
7:00:02PM EAST.
7:00:04PM IT'S INEVITABLE.
7:00:06PM LIKE I SAID, WE'RE AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPER, SO WE'RE
7:00:10PM TRYING TO KEEP THINGS AFFORDABLE.
7:00:15PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:00:16PM ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THIS GENTLEMAN?
7:00:18PM NO.

7:00:19PM I SEE NONE.
7:00:20PM WE'LL GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT.
7:00:22PM IF THERE HAS BEEN ANYBODY THAT'S WALKED IN THAT HAS NOT BEEN
7:00:26PM SWORN IN THAT WISHES TO SPEAK, PLEASE STAND.
7:00:30PM I THINK EVERYBODY.
7:00:33PM YES, MA'AM, COME ON UP, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME, YOU HAVE
7:00:35PM THREE MINUTES.
7:00:36PM >> GLORIA SIMS.
7:00:38PM AND I AM SPEAKING ON ARTICLE 6.
7:00:44PM 39 YEARS AGO, I CAME BEFORE THIS COUNCIL.
7:00:47PM IT WAS DIFFERENT, BUT AT THAT TIME, IN 1986, OUR
7:00:56PM NEIGHBORHOOD REQUESTED CITY COUNCIL TO CHANGE OUR ZONING
7:00:59PM FROM RM 16 TO RS 50, WHICH THEY DID.
7:01:04PM AND IT WAS GRANTED BY THE COUNCIL BECAUSE WE DID NOT WANT
7:01:08PM ANY DUPLEXES.
7:01:09PM IT IS A SINGLE RESIDENTIAL AREA.
7:01:11PM WE WANTED TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.
7:01:13PM I WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS.
7:01:18PM I REPRESENTED ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORS.
7:01:19PM WE WENT HOUSE TO HOUSE.
7:01:21PM EVERYBODY IN THAT AREA, AND WE HAVE THE BOUNDARIES AND
7:01:25PM EVERYTHING THAT THAT INCLUDES.
7:01:26PM NOW, WE DO NOT WANT IT CHANGED TO PD BECAUSE PD IS WHATEVER
7:01:34PM THE REQUESTER WANTS IT TO BE.
7:01:37PM IT'S A SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE, AND WE WANT TO KEEP IT THAT

7:01:40PM WAY, SENSE OF NEIGHBORHOOD, LOW CRIME AND EVERYTHING THAT
7:01:44PM GOES WITH THAT.
7:01:46PM IN CASE THE COUNCIL FORGOT OR WHATEVER, BACK IN 1987 WE
7:01:54PM RECEIVED APPROVAL.
7:01:56PM WE GOT IT DONE.
7:01:58PM ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS CAME.
7:01:59PM WE SPOKE, AND I REPRESENTED THEM BY GOING HOUSE TO HOUSE.
7:02:04PM EVERY SINGLE FAMILY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:02:07PM THEY WANTED THAT.
7:02:08PM THEY WANTED A SENSE OF COMMUNITY.
7:02:09PM THEY WANTED A SENSE OF LOW CRIME AND EVERYTHING THAT A
7:02:19PM NEIGHBORHOOD DOES.
7:02:20PM BUT WE DO NOT WANT IT CHANGED TO THAT PD, BECAUSE PD IS
7:02:25PM WHATEVER THEY WANT IT TO BE.
7:02:27PM WE WANT TO KEEP OUR SENSE OF NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:02:30PM WE DO NOT WANT ANY DUPLEXES BECAUSE DUPLEXES ARE USUALLY
7:02:34PM OWNED BY SOMEBODY WHO DOESN'T EVEN LIVE THERE AND THEY DON'T
7:02:37PM CARE.
7:02:38PM AND, YOU KNOW, AS IT IS NOW, IT'S JUST LIKE WE WANT IT.
7:02:41PM LIKE I SAID, IT'S BEEN 39 YEARS AGO.
7:02:46PM AND I HAVE COPIES.
7:02:50PM IT'S ALL PUBLIC RECORD, AND I HAVE COPIES IN CASE YOU WANT
7:02:59PM TO PASS THEM OUT --
7:03:00PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SURE.
7:03:01PM IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PUT THEM RIGHT HERE ON THE TABLE AND

7:03:05PM WE'LL MAKE SURE THE CLERK GETS THEM AND WE'LL PASS THEM
7:03:09PM AROUND.
7:03:10PM THANK YOU FOR BEING A GOOD HELPER.
7:03:32PM >> LIKE I SAY, IT'S BEEN 39 YEARS, BUT WE DID CHECK WITH OUR
7:03:36PM NEIGHBORS AGAIN TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY DON'T WANT IT.
7:03:39PM BUT WE WENT THROUGH, LIKE I SAID, ALL THE PROPER CHANNELS
7:03:44PM AND THERE'S NO REASON WHY THE WHOLE WORLD SHOULD BE GOING UP
7:03:48PM INTO DUPLEXES AND MULTI-THIS, MULTI-THAT.
7:03:53PM THERE NEEDS TO BE SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE AND WE HOPE IT
7:03:56PM STAYS THAT WAY.
7:03:58PM WHAT DO YOU CALL IT, YIELD THE FLOOR.
7:04:00PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
7:04:01PM GOOD TO SEE THE NAME JOE CHILLURA --
7:04:05PM >> MY NAME IS CLARENCE TOWNS.
7:04:07PM I LIVE ON NORTH 33rd STREET.
7:04:10PM LIKE GLORIA WAS SAYING, 39 YEARS AGO WE GOT ALL THAT REZONED
7:04:16PM FROM RM 16 TO RS 50.
7:04:18PM WHAT WE GOT REZONED IS NORTH SIDE OF COLUMBUS ALL THE WAY TO
7:04:22PM 21st AVENUE FROM THE RAILROAD TRACK ALL THE WAY TO 33rd.
7:04:26PM RS 50.
7:04:28PM SINCE WE HAD THAT REZONED OVER 20 BRAND-NEW HOMES BUILT IN
7:04:32PM THE AREA.
7:04:33PM NOT A SINGLE DUPLEX.
7:04:34PM DURING 1986, THREE DUPLEXES THERE.
7:04:39PM STILL THERE.

7:04:40PM NEW HOME WAS BUILT BY ONE OF THE DUPLEXES TWO YEARS AGO.
7:04:43PM HASN'T BEEN SOLD.
7:04:44PM WHAT WE WANT TO KEEP IT RS 50.
7:04:48PM LET ME READ SOMETHING TO YOU FROM MARCH -- FROM MAY 15th,
7:04:54PM '03, FROM THE TAMPA TRIBUNE, THEY SAY DUPLEXES CAN BE A FORM
7:04:59PM OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
7:05:01PM THEY ALSO CAN DESTROY A NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:05:05PM YOU HAVE THAT ON ONE OF THOSE.
7:05:07PM AND ALSO, THEY SAY THE CITY HAS NO OBLIGATION TO ALLOW
7:05:12PM LANDOWNERS TO CONTINUE A PRACTICE THAT PROVE HARM TO OTHER
7:05:19PM RESIDENTS.
7:05:20PM THAT DUPLEX WOULD BE HARMFUL TO US.
7:05:22PM YOU UNDERSTAND.
7:05:23PM I WISH YOU VOTE NO TODAY.
7:05:26PM NOT NO, BUT HELL NO.
7:05:27PM BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT IT THERE.
7:05:29PM OUR NEIGHBORS DON'T WANT IT THERE.
7:05:31PM YOU WANT A DUPLEX SOMEWHERE, TAKE IT TO PALMA CEIA.
7:05:35PM I'M PRETTY SURE THEY WOULD BE GLAD TO HAVE IT THERE.
7:05:39PM >> NO CLAPPING.
7:05:40PM [ SOUNDING GAVEL ]
7:05:41PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
7:05:43PM THANK YOU, SIR.
7:05:44PM ANYBODY ELSE WISH TO SPEAK?
7:05:50PM I SEE NO ONE.

7:05:51PM IS THERE REBUTTAL, SIR?
7:05:52PM ANYBODY ELSE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK AFTER CARROLL ANN BENNETT?
7:06:02PM GO AHEAD.
7:06:03PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
7:06:06PM >> MY NAME IS CARROLL ANN BENNETT.
7:06:08PM THE STAFF FOUND THIS INCONSISTENT AND THE PEOPLE HERE HAVE
7:06:16PM SPOKEN VERY ELOQUENTLY ABOUT THEIR LOVE FOR THEIR
7:06:20PM NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEIR DESIRE TO PROTECT IT.
7:06:22PM THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD TO MAINTAIN THE CHARACTER OF
7:06:26PM THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD FOR DECADES, THE EFFORTS THAT THEY
7:06:30PM OUTLINED THAT THEY HAVE MADE IN THE PAST IS JUST VERY
7:06:34PM IMPRESSIVE.
7:06:35PM I THINK IT SHOULD BE HONORED.
7:06:36PM I NOTICED TRANSPORTATION FOUND IT INCONSISTENT.
7:06:40PM THEY WANT TO REDUCE THE DRIVE AISLE FROM 24 FEET TO 15 FEET.
7:06:45PM THAT'S GOING TO CREATE ALL KINDS OF HARDSHIPS.
7:06:48PM I URGE YOU TO DENY THIS.
7:06:54PM WE NEED HIGH-QUALITY DESIGNS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT FOLLOW
7:06:58PM THE CODE AND RESPECT THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND
7:07:02PM RESPECT THE LIVES AND THE LIFESTYLES THAT THE PEOPLE IN
7:07:06PM THESE NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO ACHIEVE.
7:07:10PM I ENCOURAGE TO YOU DENY THIS.
7:07:11PM THANK YOU.
7:07:12PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
7:07:13PM ANYBODY ELSE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK?

7:07:15PM YES, MA'AM.
7:07:20PM YES, MA'AM, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
7:07:24PM >> STEPHANIE POYNOR.
7:07:27PM I CAN'T RECALL THE LAST TIME I SAW A NEIGHBORHOOD COME IN
7:07:30PM HERE AND TELL YOU THAT THEY HAD THEIR AREA DOWN-ZONED 20
7:07:36PM PLUS YEARS AGO.
7:07:38PM I CAN'T REMEMBER ANYBODY EVER SAYING THAT BEFORE.
7:07:41PM THESE FOLKS DID THE WORK.
7:07:44PM YOU-ALL CAN'T UNDO THE WORK THEY DID.
7:07:47PM THAT'S NOT FAIR.
7:07:48PM IF IT'S INCONSISTENT, THAT'S EVEN MORE EGREGIOUS.
7:07:51PM THANK YOU.
7:07:52PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I BELIEVE ALMOST 40 YEARS AGO IS WHEN
7:07:56PM ALL THE ZONING CAME INTO PLAY.
7:07:58PM LIKE 1986, 1987.
7:08:01PM THIS IS ONE OF THOSE ALL DONE NEW.
7:08:04PM ANYBODY WANT TO SPEAK?
7:08:05PM REBUTTAL?
7:08:06PM COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN FIRST HAS A QUESTION FOR STAFF AND THEN
7:08:10PM WE'LL GO TO REBUTTAL.
7:08:11PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MR. THOMAS, THE PD REQUEST, I'M CONCERNED,
7:08:16PM IRONICALLY IT'S IN PLAY WITH WHAT THEY DISCUSSED ABOUT THE
7:08:20PM CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:08:21PM IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN A KEY ISSUE FOR ME IS
7:08:24PM MAKING SURE PEOPLE ARE NOT -- YOU DID THIS ONE.

7:08:31PM NOT MR. THOMAS.
7:08:33PM THE ADJOINING PROPERTIES, ARE THERE ANY OTHER DUPLEXES
7:08:38PM WITHIN?
7:08:38PM CAN YOU REFRESH MY MEMORY?
7:08:41PM WHAT IS THE MASS OF THE OTHER PROPERTIES AROUND HERE.
7:08:43PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE: IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA IS
7:08:46PM SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED.
7:08:47PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHAT ABOUT THE MASS AND SCALE OF THE OTHER
7:08:50PM HOUSES?
7:08:50PM THIS IS GOING TO BE SQUEEZING AN AWFUL LOT ON A SMALL
7:08:55PM PARCEL.
7:08:55PM WOULD THIS PROPOSED BUILD-OUT BE IN KIND OF -- INCOMPATIBLE
7:09:01PM WITH THE CURRENT BUILD-OUT?
7:09:02PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE: WE DO FIND IT TO BE COMPATIBLE
7:09:04PM INFILL DEVELOPMENT.
7:09:05PM DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION FOUND AFTER OUR REVIEW -- OUR
7:09:12PM FINDING WAS CONSISTENT.
7:09:16PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: CAN YOU SHOW THE PICTURES OF THE ADJOINING
7:09:20PM PROPERTIES AGAIN?
7:09:20PM >> SURE.
7:09:24PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN THINKING THE WHOLE
7:09:26PM TIME.
7:09:27PM DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT TO ME.
7:09:28PM DOESN'T SMELL RIGHT.
7:09:42PM >> I CAN GO THROUGH A FEW DIFFERENT PHOTOS WE HAVE OF

7:09:45PM SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.
7:09:46PM WE DO HAVE A TWO-STORY SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNIT.
7:09:52PM IT'S SOUTHWEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
7:09:55PM THIS IS LOOKING SOUTHWEST AT THE INTERSECTION OF EAST
7:09:57PM COLUMBUS.
7:09:58PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHAT ABOUT NORTH OF COLUMBUS?
7:10:00PM THAT SEEMS TO BE MORE LIKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:10:03PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE: IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF IT, WE DO HAVE
7:10:07PM SINGLE STORY DETACHED DWELLINGS.
7:10:10PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT SEEMS TO BE THE AREA NORTH BETWEEN
7:10:13PM 32nd AND 33rd AND THEN BOUNDED BY -- I DON'T EVEN KNOW
7:10:20PM WHAT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE, A LOT OF SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES IT
7:10:22PM LOOKS LIKE.
7:10:22PM YEAH, I MEAN, BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT THE PLATS, LOOKING AT
7:10:29PM THE SITE PLAN, LOOKING AT THE PLATS.
7:10:31PM IT DEFINITELY DOES NOT SEEM TO BE -- THIS WOULD BE A VERY
7:10:36PM UNIQUE, IF WE APPROVE THIS, IT WOULD BE TOTALLY DIFFERENT
7:10:39PM THAN ANYTHING AROUND IT NORTH OF COLUMBUS, NO?
7:10:43PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE: WE DO HAVE MULTIFAMILY ONE BLOCK
7:10:46PM OVER ON NORTH 33rd STREET.
7:10:48PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: CAN YOU SHOW ME WHERE THAT IS?
7:10:51PM THAT'S THE SECOND PARCEL NORTH OF COLUMBUS?
7:11:01PM >> YES.
7:11:01PM RIGHT HERE.
7:11:05PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHEN YOU LOOK AT ALL THE REST ALL

7:11:08PM SINGLE-FAMILY, THOUGH.
7:11:09PM PRETTY LARGE LOTS AND ALL SINGLE-FAMILY, RIGHT?
7:11:12PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE: CORRECT, YES.
7:11:13PM SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THAT ONE
7:11:16PM PARTICULAR PARCEL THAT I JUST POINTED OUT THERE.
7:11:18PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU.
7:11:19PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:11:20PM SIR, THE APPLICANT WITH REBUTTAL.
7:11:25PM NO, NO, NO.
7:11:30PM YOU'RE DONE.
7:11:31PM YES, SIR, COME ON UP.
7:11:33PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AGAIN.
7:11:35PM >> KEVIN JOHNSON.
7:11:38PM AS I STATED EARLIER, THIS PROPERTY IS ALONG COLUMBUS,
7:12:00PM COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR THAT SPANS THROUGHOUT THE EXTENT OF THE
7:12:02PM CITY.
7:12:03PM SO WE'RE ESSENTIALLY FOLLOWING THE TREND OF THE GROWTH
7:12:06PM THAT'S HAPPENING BETWEEN NEBRASKA AND 34th STREET, THERE
7:12:11PM ARE 33 MULTIFAMILY PROPERTIES ON COLUMBUS.
7:12:15PM AND LIKE I SAID, SOUTH OF US AND SOUTH OF US IS -- I THINK
7:12:24PM CC FOR THE FUTURE LAND USE.
7:12:26PM AND THEN EVERYTHING NORTH, INCLUDING OUR PROPERTY, IS FUTURE
7:12:31PM LAND USE R-20.
7:12:33PM AGAIN, FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION PERSPECTIVE, THE
7:12:37PM ANTICIPATION IS THAT THERE'S EXPECTED GROWTH.

7:12:42PM AGAIN, ONE OF THE BIGGEST ISSUES NATIONWIDE AND OBVIOUSLY IN
7:12:47PM TAMPA IS HOUSING COST.
7:12:48PM THE ONLY WAY THAT WE CAN EFFECTIVELY KIND OF CURE THIS ISSUE
7:12:54PM IS TO CREATE MORE HOUSING.
7:12:57PM SO I UNDERSTAND THAT THE EXISTING RESIDENTS FEEL THE WAY
7:13:02PM BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT A PARTICULAR TYPE OF STYLE IN THEIR
7:13:05PM HOME.
7:13:05PM BUT TO ME, IT'S KIND OF A SELFISH PERSPECTIVE NOT IN A
7:13:10PM NEGATIVE LIGHT, BUT NOT THINKING BEYOND YOURSELF.
7:13:14PM THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF, I'M 33, THE GENERATION COMING
7:13:17PM BEYOND ME, THEY ARE WONDERING IF THEY CAN EVEN AFFORD TO
7:13:21PM LIVE IN TAMPA.
7:13:22PM TO BE CLEAR, THIS IS NOT A DUPLEX.
7:13:25PM THESE ARE TOWNHOMES.
7:13:26PM THEY WILL BE SOLD FEE SIMPLE AND THEY'LL HAVE TWO OWNERS,
7:13:30PM NOT ONE PERSON, SOME SLUMLORD OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
7:13:35PM I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL THE POLICIES AND GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
7:13:45PM THAT WE MEET, BUT, AGAIN, AFTER THE PLANNING COMMISSION
7:13:48PM REVIEW, WE MEET UP TO I THINK 33 OF THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES,
7:13:55PM AND POLICIES THAT ARE IN THE 2045 PLAN.
7:14:02PM AGAIN, WE KIND OF OPERATE FROM WHERE IS THE CITY HEADING.
7:14:11PM I UNDERSTAND, AGAIN, SOME OF THE RESIDENTS SAID THAT THINGS
7:14:14PM HAPPEN 20, 40 YEARS AGO.
7:14:17PM TAMPA IS CHANGING.
7:14:19PM IT'S ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR CITIES IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW.

7:14:23PM LASTLY, AGAIN, OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS, CITIES WHO HAVE
7:14:36PM BEEN NATIONALLY CRITICIZED FOR EXORBITANT HOUSING PRICES
7:14:40PM HAVE SEEN SIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONS RANGING FROM 4.2% TO 22%.
7:14:45PM THE MAIN INFLUENCE FOR THE CHANGE CAN BE ACCREDITED TO THE
7:14:47PM CITIES COMMITTING AN APPROACH OF INTENTIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND
7:14:51PM OVERALL SUPPLEMENTATION TO THEIR RESPECTIVE HOUSING AND
7:14:54PM INVENTORIES.
7:14:55PM THIS CONCEPT IS NOT NEW.
7:14:57PM IT IS SIMPLY SUPPLY AND DEMAND AT ITS ESSENCE.
7:15:01PM AUSTIN, TEXAS, RECENTLY REPORTED 22 PERCENT REDUCTIONS IN
7:15:05PM RENT RATES.
7:15:08PM SAN ANTONIO, 12.5.
7:15:11PM MIAMI 8%.
7:15:12PM DENVER, COLORADO, 6.7.
7:15:14PM MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE, 5.4.
7:15:19PM NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, 4.2.
7:15:20PM THE COMMONALITY IN ALL THESE ARTICLES IS THAT AGGRESSIVE
7:15:23PM DEVELOPMENT IN TERMS OF BUILDING MORE HOUSING.
7:15:25PM LIKE, JUST BUILDING MORE.
7:15:27PM THAT'S KIND OF WHAT -- YOU KNOW, OUR APPROACH AND WE
7:15:31PM UNDERSTAND AGAIN WE'RE AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPERS.
7:15:33PM WE HAVE A TEN-UNIT IN CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW.
7:15:36PM SURE PEOPLE DRIVE PAST IT ALL THE TIME ON COLUMBUS AND
7:15:40PM 22nd.
7:15:41PM AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

7:15:42PM YEAH, WE'RE FROM HERE.
7:15:45PM WE LOVE THE CITY JUST AS MUCH AS YOU ALL.
7:15:48PM THAT'S ALL.
7:15:48PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
7:15:50PM YES, MA'AM.
7:15:55PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: MR. JOHNSON, DID YOU TALK TO THE
7:15:57PM NEIGHBORS?
7:15:59PM >> NOBODY REACHED OUT.
7:16:01PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO ONE REACH OUT?
7:16:04PM DID YOU REACH OUT?
7:16:06PM >> NO, MA'AM.
7:16:06PM WE DIDN'T THINK IT WAS TOTALLY NECESSARY.
7:16:08PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: YOU UNDERESTIMATED YOUR COMMUNITY.
7:16:11PM THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
7:16:13PM DID YOU UNDERESTIMATE YOUR OWN COMMUNITY?
7:16:16PM BECAUSE THEY ARE HERE WITH A DOCUMENT THAT THEY PRESENTED
7:16:18PM FROM 1987.
7:16:22PM DID THAT SURPRISE YOU AT ALL?
7:16:24PM BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY NICE FOR A BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD TO STAND
7:16:28PM UP AND FIGHT AND SAY, NO, WE WANT SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES.
7:16:33PM WHAT I'M SAYING TO YOU IS THAT EVEN THOUGH THE SCOPE OF
7:16:40PM COLUMBUS DRIVE IS CHANGING, THE CONVERSATION WITH THE
7:16:45PM RESIDENTS TO GET THEM TO BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE NOT JUST
7:16:48PM THROWING A TRASHY DUPLEX INTO THEIR COMMUNITY IS SOMETHING
7:16:51PM THAT YOU SHOULD DO WITH THESE RESIDENTS, BECAUSE THEY

7:16:57PM DESERVE THAT.
7:16:57PM I LIKE YOUR PROJECT, AND I CAN BELIEVE IN IT, BUT YOU HAVE
7:17:01PM TO CONVINCE THEM AND YOU SHOULD GIVE THEM THAT OPPORTUNITY.
7:17:05PM >> FOR SURE.
7:17:07PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:17:10PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: BECAUSE I THINK THEY ARE THINKING
7:17:12PM OLD-FASHIONED DUPLEX WITH TRASHY RENTERS AND MATTRESSES IN
7:17:16PM THE FRONT YARD, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TRYING
7:17:18PM TO DO.
7:17:19PM YOU SAID THESE ARE TOWNHOMES FOR SALE.
7:17:21PM I LIKE YOUR PROJECT.
7:17:24PM I JUST THINK YOU MISSED ONE POINT AND THAT WAS COMMUNITY
7:17:27PM BUY-IN.
7:17:30PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MR. SHELBY.
7:17:32PM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
7:17:32PM >>LYNN HURTAK: WE HAVE IN THE PAST, I'M JUST SUGGESTING FOR
7:17:36PM YOU, WE HAVE IN THE PAST REQUESTED A MEETING BETWEEN THE
7:17:39PM DEVELOPER AND THE RESIDENTS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
7:17:43PM READING.
7:17:44PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: WE DID THAT WITH THE SAME DEVELOPER
7:17:46PM BEFORE.
7:17:46PM OVER IN ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:17:49PM >>LYNN HURTAK: OH, THAT'S RIGHT.
7:17:50PM THAT'S RIGHT.
7:17:52PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: THAT'S THE PART THAT'S MISSING.

7:17:55PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN, JUST FOR PURPOSES OF THE RECORD,
7:17:59PM JUST SO THERE'S NO QUESTION IN ANYBODY'S MIND, YOUR CODE, AS
7:18:04PM IT PRESENTLY STATES DOES NOT REQUIRE MEETING WITH
7:18:08PM NEIGHBORHOODS OR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS.
7:18:09PM SO WHAT I'M SAYING TO YOU IS, IF THAT'S SOMETHING COUNCIL
7:18:13PM WANTS, YOU CAN DO THAT AND DISCUSS THAT WHEN THE TIME FOR
7:18:15PM THE CODE TO BE AMENDED.
7:18:18PM BUT AT THIS POINT IN TIME, YOU CANNOT BASE YOUR DECISION ON
7:18:21PM THE ABSENCE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING.
7:18:24PM THAT WOULD BE ERROR.
7:18:25PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT.
7:18:27PM I APPRECIATE THAT.
7:18:28PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: VIERA, CLENDENIN.
7:18:30PM >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU.
7:18:31PM A COUPLE OF THINGS HERE.
7:18:34PM THIS, AS HAS BEEN SAID, A TOUGH CASE, I GUESS IF YOU WILL.
7:18:38PM I'LL EXPLAIN WHAT MY INCLINATION IS RIGHT NOW AND WHY I'M
7:18:42PM HERE.
7:18:43PM YOU HAVE A STAFF REPORT, PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT,
7:18:46PM ET CETERA, THAT'S VERY, VERY ADVERSE.
7:18:51PM THEN YOU HAVE AN APPLICANT AND APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE
7:18:54PM HERE WHO IS -- YOU CAN'T SAY I KNOW YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON,
7:18:59PM BUT YOUR CHARACTER, I THINK, IS REPRESENTED IN THE KIND OF
7:19:04PM PROJECT THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT HERE.
7:19:06PM THAT'S WHY I THINK YOU ARE RELEVANT HERE IN THAT REGARD.

7:19:19PM THIS IS SOMETHING THAT LOOKS TO MAKE HOUSING MORE ACCESSIBLE
7:19:19PM TO PEOPLE.
7:19:19PM BUT THE BIG ISSUE WITH ME IS THE REPORTS AS WE SEE THEM AND
7:19:22PM HOW THEY JUST DON'T FIT RIGHT NOW THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS
7:19:24PM DESCRIBED BY THE STANDARDS THAT WE HAVE, RIGHT?
7:19:27PM WHAT I WOULD SUPPORT, ME, JUST MYSELF IS A CONTINUANCE, NOT
7:19:37PM PASSING IT ON FIRST READING.
7:19:38PM I WOULD VOTE NO ON THAT.
7:19:40PM A CONTINUANCE TO SEE IF SOMETHING COULD BE WORKED OUT.
7:19:45PM I'M NOT OPTIMISTIC, BY THE WAY, BUT I WOULD DO THAT TO SEE
7:19:48PM IF SOMETHING COULD BE WORKED OUT.
7:19:50PM PERSONALLY ME, I WOULDN'T VOTE FOR IT ON FIRST READING.
7:19:53PM I DON'T WANT TO SEND A WRONG MESSAGE BECAUSE I HATE FLIPPING
7:19:56PM ON PART TWO.
7:19:57PM THAT'S JUST ME.
7:19:58PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
7:19:59PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS IS AN INTERESTING SITUATION.
7:20:04PM FIRST TAKE, COMING INTO THIS, DOING RESEARCH, IT DIDN'T SEND
7:20:08PM UP ANY RED FLAGS.
7:20:10PM AS I SAW THE PRESENTATION AND I SAW THE INITIAL PHOTOGRAPHS
7:20:13PM AND I SAW WHAT WAS HAPPENING ON THE PD, TO ME, IT'S NOT
7:20:17PM ABOUT THE STAFF REPORT AND WHAT THEY FOUND TO BE
7:20:21PM INCONSISTENT.
7:20:22PM TO ME, IT'S BECAUSE YOU ARE COMING IN AND ASKING FOR A PD.
7:20:27PM QUITE HONESTLY, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A NONSTARTER IN JUST

7:20:29PM ABOUT ANY OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
7:20:32PM I THINK WE HAVE TO BE CONSISTENT REGARDLESS OF WHAT THAT
7:20:34PM NEIGHBORHOOD IS OF HOW WE EVALUATE THESE PROPERTIES AND HOW
7:20:37PM WE EVALUATE THESE DECISIONS.
7:20:38PM AND POSSIBLY IF THIS WAS A BLOCK FURTHER TO THE EAST OR
7:20:43PM FURTHER TO THE SOUTH, I MAY HAVE A DIFFERENT ANSWER ON THIS.
7:20:47PM BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT GOING TO A PD, YOU'VE HEARD THIS, IF
7:20:51PM YOU WATCH THESE COUNCIL MEETINGS, YOU'VE HEARD IT MANY
7:20:53PM TIMES.
7:20:54PM SEE SOMEBODY TRYING TO PUT TEN POUNDS OF FLOUR IN A
7:20:58PM ONE-POUND BAG OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT OR DIFFERENT
7:21:01PM SYNONYMS, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS.
7:21:04PM TOO MUCH ON TOO LITTLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU COMPARE IT TO
7:21:07PM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:21:09PM WHAT WAS VERY INTRIGUING, THE NEIGHBORS CAME UP WHAT THEY
7:21:14PM THOUGHT ABOUT THE REZONING.
7:21:15PM EVIDENCE IN THE -- EVIDENT IN THE BUILD-OUT PATTERN,
7:21:19PM COLUMBUS, 33rd, I CAN'T TELL ON MY SITE PLAN, FURTHER TO
7:21:24PM THE WEST, THAT THESE PARCELS ARE ALL VERY CONSISTENTLY, WITH
7:21:28PM THE EXCEPTION OF THE ONE MULTIFAMILY PROPERTY THAT STAFF
7:21:30PM POINTED OUT ON 33rd, ARE VERY CONSISTENTLY BUILT OUT.
7:21:34PM WE APPROVE PDs, WE APPROVE THEM BASED ON THE MASS AND
7:21:38PM SCALE AND ALL THESE DIFFERENT CRITERIA, LOOK AT THE CRITERIA
7:21:42PM FOR APPROVING A PD, THIS DOESN'T MEET ONE, TWO, THREE, AT
7:21:47PM LEAST FOUR OF THE CRITERIAS WHEN COMPARING TO THE OTHER

7:21:51PM PARTS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:21:52PM I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE SAID WHEN I RAN FOR
7:21:56PM COUNCIL TO BEING ON COUNCIL IS WE'RE NOT JUST BUILDING
7:21:59PM ANYTHING ANYWHERE ANYMORE.
7:22:00PM WE'RE BEING MUCH MORE DILIGENT IN PROTECTING NEIGHBORHOODS,
7:22:05PM PROTECTING THE CURRENT, THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE INVESTED IN
7:22:08PM THEIR HOMES IN THESE AREAS AND ENSURING IT WAS THE RIGHT
7:22:12PM CONSTRUCTION IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
7:22:13PM IT'S GOT TO BE RIGHT.
7:22:15PM WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD QUALITY AND REALLY ENHANCING
7:22:19PM NEIGHBORHOODS, ENHANCING -- HONESTLY, IF YOU HAD COME TO US
7:22:26PM AND AMASSED LARGER AMOUNT OF PARCEL ON COLUMBUS AND BUILT
7:22:29PM SOMETHING MORE INTENSE PROMOTING TRANSPORTATION, YOU MAYBE
7:22:33PM WOULD HAVE AN ARGUMENT WITH ME.
7:22:34PM ADDING ONE MORE UNIT ON THE PROPERTY, SQUEEZING A LITTLE
7:22:37PM BIT, CHANGING THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS JUST NOT
7:22:40PM FOR ME.
7:22:40PM I'M SO SORRY.
7:22:41PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
7:22:46PM >>BILL CARLSON: THERE ARE PROJECTS SIMILAR TO THIS ALL OVER
7:22:48PM SOUTH TAMPA, INCLUDING HYDE PARK IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.
7:22:52PM THERE IS A PRECEDENT FOR THIS IN OTHER AREAS.
7:22:56PM AND THE WAY YOU ARE DOING TOWNHOMES INSTEAD OF DUPLEXES IS
7:22:59PM THE WAY THE OTHER FOLKS HAVE DONE IT.
7:23:01PM ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES KIND OF ALLUDED TO THIS, BUT WE KNOW

7:23:05PM KEVIN AND DANTE, THEY ARE PARTNERS BECAUSE THEY HAVE
7:23:08PM PARTNERED WITH THE CITY.
7:23:09PM AS YOU GUYS SAID, YOU GREW UP HERE.
7:23:12PM YOUR HEART IS HERE.
7:23:13PM TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
7:23:14PM IT WOULD BREAK OUR HEARTS PROBABLY TO VOTE AGAINST YOU GUYS,
7:23:17PM BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS FIERCELY DEFENDED
7:23:20PM THE CONSISTENCY OF THE STYLE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING.
7:23:26PM YOU'RE EARLY INTO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:23:30PM FROM THE MAPS WE'VE SHOWN -- THE MAPS WE WERE SHOWN, ONLY
7:23:35PM ONE OTHER SIMILAR KIND OF MULTIFAMILY NEARBY.
7:23:38PM AND IF THERE WERE SEVERAL, IF IT WAS HALFWAY OR SOMETHING,
7:23:42PM THEN IT WOULD SHOW THERE IS A CONSISTENT PATTERN OF
7:23:45PM MULTIFAMILY.
7:23:45PM I'LL JUST END WITH A QUESTION.
7:23:47PM YOU SHOWED THE MAP OF THE PLAN OR MAP OF THE AREA WITH THE
7:23:53PM RED DOT ON IT AND THEN YOU TALKED ABOUT MULTIFAMILY.
7:23:56PM COULD YOU JUST SHOW US HOW CLOSE -- JUST SHOW WITH YOUR
7:24:00PM FINGER HOW CLOSE IS THE OTHER MULTIFAMILY TO THIS PROPERTY?
7:24:05PM IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE NEARBY WITHIN SEVERAL BLOCKS?
7:24:36PM >> THE CLOSEST IS ON THE 27th BLOCK.
7:24:45PM FOUR, FIVE STREETS DOWN.
7:24:48PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: CAN YOU POINT TO IT?
7:24:50PM >>BILL CARLSON: THIS PROPERTY IS THE RED DOT?
7:24:53PM >> WE'RE HERE.

7:24:54PM PROBABLY SOMEWHERE AROUND HERE.
7:24:55PM FROM HERE, NEBRASKA, ALL THE WAY DOWN.
7:25:02PM TO ABOUT RIGHT HERE THERE'S MULTIFAMILY.
7:25:05PM >>LYNN HURTAK: CAN YOU ZOOM IN?
7:25:06PM IT HAS STREET NUMBERS.
7:25:09PM NO, IN.
7:25:10PM THAT'S 29th.
7:25:17PM 26th IS WAY PAST THE PINK IS TWO BLOCKS PAST THE PINK.
7:25:22PM TO THE LEFT.
7:25:27PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE?
7:25:32PM CAN I GET -- YES, SIR.
7:25:36PM >> I GUESS I THINK COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN, BUT I THINK YOU
7:25:48PM SAID SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF IT IS A LITTLE BIT TOO
7:25:51PM EARLY.
7:25:52PM I GUESS THE QUESTION IS, WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME?
7:25:54PM IT'S INEVITABLE.
7:26:00PM JUST SOUTH OF US IS A LOT ZONED FOR MULTIFAMILY.
7:26:07PM IF ONLY A STREET IS SEPARATING THAT MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT
7:26:10PM FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, LIKE, I GUESS -- YEAH, WE'RE THE
7:26:15PM FIRST.
7:26:16PM >>BILL CARLSON: CAN YOU POINT TO THAT, PLEASE, THE ONE YOU
7:26:20PM MENTIONED?
7:26:20PM >> RIGHT HERE.
7:26:21PM CITY OWNED?
7:26:25PM OKAY.

7:26:29PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
7:26:29PM MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA.
7:26:35PM SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
7:26:36PM ALL IN FAVOR?
7:26:37PM AYE.
7:26:38PM THE HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.
7:26:40PM WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL FOR ITEM NUMBER 6?
7:26:43PM WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO READ IT?
7:26:49PM >>BILL CARLSON: COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA MENTIONED A
7:26:51PM CONTINUANCE.
7:26:52PM NOBODY ELSE HAS AN APPETITE FOR THAT?
7:26:55PM >> I DO.
7:26:56PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
7:27:01PM >>LUIS VIERA: I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR IN WHAT I WOULD SAY ON
7:27:06PM THIS.
7:27:07PM MY INCLINATION TODAY WOULD BE TO VOTE NO.
7:27:09PM THAT IS MY INCLINATION.
7:27:11PM BUT I'M A BELIEVER IN MAKING SURE WE EXHAUST ALL POTENTIAL
7:27:16PM REMEDIES AND ALL POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS, RIGHT?
7:27:19PM AND TO SEE IF WE COULD CONTINUE THIS A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO
7:27:23PM GIVE YOU GUYS THE CHANCE TO TALK, TO SEE IF SOME AMENDMENTS
7:27:31PM COULD BE MADE.
7:27:31PM I'M NOT PUSHING ANYTHING.
7:27:33PM I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING.
7:27:35PM MY TENDENCY IS TO VOTE NO.

7:27:38PM I WOULD SUPPORT A SMALL CONTINUANCE FOR THAT.
7:27:41PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK.
7:27:43PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I WOULDN'T ONLY BECAUSE PER OUR RULES, HE
7:27:48PM FINISHED HIS PRESENTATION.
7:27:49PM THE OTHER ONE, THE PRESENTATION HADN'T ENDED.
7:27:52PM WE WERE STILL ASKING QUESTIONS IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
7:27:54PM IN THIS CASE, I WOULDN'T, JUST TO FOLLOW OUR RULES, I
7:27:57PM WOULDN'T SUPPORT THAT.
7:28:01PM >>LUIS VIERA: TO BREAK THE RULES OR WHATEVER, DO WE NEED
7:28:04PM UNANIMOUS?
7:28:04PM OKAY.
7:28:09PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
7:28:11PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MY QUESTION ON THAT WOULD BE TO WHAT END?
7:28:15PM BECAUSE, AGAIN, MY OBJECTION IS ABOUT THE MASS, THE SCALE.
7:28:21PM HE CAN'T CHANGE THAT.
7:28:23PM CAN'T CHANGE THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:28:24PM IT'S REALLY THE WRONG PROJECT IN THE WRONG PLACE.
7:28:27PM A DIFFERENT AREA OF TOWN OR A DIFFERENT LOT, IT MAY BE THE
7:28:30PM PERFECT PROJECT.
7:28:32PM HONESTLY, I WOULD VOTE WITH YOU TO WAIVE THE RULES TO DO
7:28:35PM THIS IF I THOUGHT THERE WAS A SOLUTION, LIKE IF THEY NEEDED
7:28:39PM TO MOVE A DRIVEWAY OR MAKE SOME SLIGHT MODIFICATION.
7:28:44PM THIS IS REALLY JUST, IT'S TOO MUCH ON TOO LITTLE.
7:28:47PM AND HOW MANY TIMES -- COULD YOU IMAGINE THIS COMING IN PALMA
7:28:50PM CEIA?

7:28:51PM THEY WOULD BE BURNING THE PLACE DOWN.
7:28:58PM YOU LOOK AT THIS, THIS ENTIRE AREA IS ALL SINGLE-FAMILY
7:29:01PM HOUSES.
7:29:04PM AGAIN, I WOULD BE WILLING TO GO WITH THIS BECAUSE OF BEING
7:29:07PM ON COLUMBUS, IF THIS WAS REALLY A TRANSFORMATIONAL PROJECT.
7:29:12PM THIS IS JUST SQUEEZING TOO MUCH ON TOO LITTLE.
7:29:18PM >>LUIS VIERA: THERE ARE SOME PROJECTS IN SOUTH TAMPA LIKE
7:29:21PM THIS THAT HAVE ACTUALLY VOTED FOR AND EVERYTHING AND SOME
7:29:25PM PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THAT.
7:29:26PM IT IS WHAT IT IS.
7:29:28PM MY RATIONALE IN THIS IS I AGREE, JUST TO BE HONEST, LIKELY
7:29:34PM WILL NOT CHANGE ANYTHING STRUCTURALLY OR ANYTHING, I AM A
7:29:41PM NAIVE OPTIMIST AND LIKE TO EXHAUST ALL BEFORE GOING THERE.
7:29:46PM AGAIN, THIS PROJECT MEANS WELL.
7:29:49PM BURDEN STRUCTURALLY SOMEWHERE IN TRANSLATION I GUESS IF YOU
7:29:52PM WILL.
7:29:54PM I DO AGREE WITH YOUR SENTIMENTS.
7:29:56PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
7:29:57PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU.
7:29:58PM AS YOU SEE, THERE ARE SEVEN OF US HERE, AND SEVEN DIFFERENT
7:30:01PM OPINIONS, BUT ALL OF THEM MEAN THE SAME.
7:30:03PM THE DUE DILIGENCE OF THE DEVELOPER IS TO MAKE SURE AT THE
7:30:06PM TIME HE OR SHE PURCHASE A LOT TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT,
7:30:10PM BEFORE YOU START SPENDING YOUR MONEY TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU
7:30:13PM CAN BUILD ON IT AND SPEAK TO THE PEOPLE AROUND THAT LOT THAT

7:30:17PM YOU BOUGHT.
7:30:17PM YOU KNEW THAT THAT -- I'M NOT HERE IN ANY WAY TO CHASTISE
7:30:21PM YOU IN ANY WAY BECAUSE I'VE SEEN YOU BEFORE HERE AND YOU'VE
7:30:24PM HAD GREAT PROJECTS, BUT WHEN YOU SEE THAT'S ALL GREEN, WHAT
7:30:29PM DOES THAT TELL YOU?
7:30:30PM COMPARED TO WHAT YOU'VE DONE IN OTHER AREAS, YOUR
7:30:33PM DEVELOPMENT IS FINE.
7:30:34PM REALLY NICE HOMES.
7:30:36PM BUILT THEM WELL.
7:30:38PM BUT IN THIS CASE, YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE OF YOUR DUE
7:30:41PM DILIGENCE, WHICH I DON'T BELIEVE YOU ADMITTED YOURSELF THAT
7:30:44PM YOU HAD TALKED TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AT ALL, BECAUSE YOUR BEST
7:30:47PM RECORD IS IMPECCABLE.
7:30:50PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN, WOULD YOU LIKE
7:30:51PM TO MAKE A MOTION?
7:30:54PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YES.
7:30:55PM RIP THE BAND-AID OFF SO YOU CAN GO ON AND DO WHAT YOU NEED
7:30:59PM TO DO FOR YOUR PROJECT.
7:31:00PM I'M GOING TO MOTION TO DENY FILE REZ 24-10.
7:31:10PM REZ 24-100.
7:31:15PM I'M GOING TO MAKE THAT DENIAL BASED ON THE FAILURE OF THE
7:31:19PM APPLICANT TO MEET BURDEN OF PROOF TO PROVIDE COMPETENT
7:31:23PM SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT THE DEVELOPMENT AS CONDITIONED AND
7:31:25PM SHOWN IN THE SITE PLAN IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PLANNED
7:31:31PM DEVELOPMENT CODE CRITERIA OF 27-136.

7:31:34PM IT DOES NOT PROMOTE THE EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF
7:31:36PM LAND AND INFRASTRUCTURE WITH CAREFUL CONSIDERATION OF
7:31:38PM POTENTIAL ADVERSE IMPACTS ON ON-SITE NATURAL ELEMENTS
7:31:41PM SURROUNDING IMPACTED NEIGHBORHOODS AND CULTURAL RESOURCES.
7:31:45PM IT DOES NOT PROVIDE A PROCEDURE WHICH CAN RELATE TO THE
7:31:47PM TYPE, DESIGN AND LAYOUT OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS ON A
7:31:52PM PARTICULAR SITE.
7:31:53PM DOES NOT PROMOTE OR ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT WHERE
7:31:55PM APPROPRIATE IN LOCATION, CHARACTER, AND COMPATIBILITY WITH
7:31:57PM THE SURROUNDING IMPACTED NEIGHBORHOODS, BUILT ENVIRONMENT
7:32:00PM AND EXISTING GEOGRAPHY.
7:32:01PM AND IT DOES NOT PROMOTE THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES AND
7:32:05PM ELEMENTS WHICH COMPLEMENT THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY NOR
7:32:08PM ENHANCE THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THE DEVELOPMENT.
7:32:11PM >>LYNN HURTAK: SECOND.
7:32:13PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DID YOU WANT TO ADD SOMETHING ELSE?
7:32:15PM >>LYNN HURTAK: ADDRESS, 3204 EAST COLUMBUS DRIVE.
7:32:21PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: DID YOU WISH TO -- I BELIEVE YOU WERE
7:32:24PM CITING 27-136.
7:32:27PM DID YOU WANT TO MAKE ANY FINDING WITH REGARD OF COMPLIANCE
7:32:30PM WITH 27-139, THE WAIVER?
7:32:33PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ACTUALLY, HONESTLY, IF SOMEBODY ELSE WANTS
7:32:36PM TO ADD THAT TO IT.
7:32:38PM AGAIN, AS I SAID IN MY DISCUSSION, I WAS ACTUALLY WILLING TO
7:32:43PM GRANT THAT IN A PD THAT PARTICULAR WAIVER FOR A PROJECT THAT

7:32:46PM WOULD FIT ON THAT PARTICULAR PARCEL.
7:32:48PM MY CONCERN ABOUT THIS, AGAIN, MASS, SCALE, AND THE
7:32:52PM SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:32:52PM IT WASN'T THE WAIVER.
7:32:54PM WHEN I LOOK AT THIS FOR DENIAL, IT WAS ABOUT THE MASS, SCALE
7:32:57PM AND INCOMPATIBILITY WITH THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE
7:33:00PM PD.
7:33:00PM IT WASN'T ABOUT THE WAIVER.
7:33:02PM I'M NOT GOING TO ADD THAT TO MY MOTION.
7:33:03PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION AND WE HAVE A SECOND.
7:33:06PM LET'S HAVE A ROLL CALL VOTE.
7:33:08PM >>LUIS VIERA: YES.

7:33:14PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: YES.

7:34:19PM WEST FIG STREET FROM RM 16 RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY TO RM 18,
7:34:23PM RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY.
7:34:24PM WE'LL START WITH AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
7:34:27PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED IN RED.
7:34:30PM IT IS LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF WEST FIG STREET.
7:34:34PM THE SITE BLOCK IS LOCATED BETWEEN NORTH TAMPANIA AVENUE AND
7:34:41PM NORTH ARMENIA AVENUE.
7:34:44PM THE SURROUNDING AREA CONSISTS PRIMARILY OF SINGLE-FAMILY
7:34:48PM DETACHED AS WELL AS SEMI DETACHED HOMES.
7:34:52PM OVER THE PAST DECADE, THERE HAVE BEEN I WOULD SAY MULTIPLE
7:34:56PM REZONING APPROVALS THAT HAVE OCCURRED WITHIN THE GENERAL
7:34:59PM VICINITY.
7:35:00PM TO THE WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE, ALONG THE SAME BLOCK FACE,
7:35:04PM THERE HAVE BEEN TWO REZONINGS APPROVED AT LEAST WITHIN THE
7:35:10PM PAST TEN YEARS, BEGINNING AT THE CORNER OF WEST FIG AND
7:35:14PM NORTH TAMPANIA AVENUE, A PARCEL WAS REZONED FROM RM 16 TO RM
7:35:19PM 18 IN 2017 AND THEN A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE SUBJECT SITE, WE
7:35:24PM HAVE AN INTERIOR LOT ALONG THE SAME BLOCK FACE THAT WAS
7:35:26PM REZONED FROM RM 16 TO RM 18 IN 2024.
7:35:32PM ALSO IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT FURTHER EAST OF THE SUBJECT
7:35:35PM SITE ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF NORTH ARMENIA AVENUE, WE DO HAVE
7:35:39PM A NUMBER OF SMALL SITES THAT HAD BEEN REZONED TO PLANNED
7:35:43PM DEVELOPMENT, BEGINNING WITH THE SITE LOCATED FURTHER SOUTH.
7:35:48PM THIS PARTICULAR SITE WAS APPROVED IN 2005 FOR PROFESSIONAL
7:35:52PM OFFICE USES.

7:35:53PM IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF THE SITE ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF WEST
7:35:55PM FIG STREET, THIS PARTICULAR SITE WAS APPROVED FOR
7:35:58PM PROFESSIONAL OFFICE USES IN 2004.

7:36:12PM AND THEN A LITTLE FURTHER NORTH WE DO HAVE THE JEWISH
7:36:15PM COMMUNITY CENTER WHICH WAS APPROVED IN 2016.
7:36:20PM THE SITE IS ALSO LOCATED IN THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY AND
7:36:26PM DEVELOPMENT MUST COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN
7:36:29PM SECTION 27-241, WEST TAMPA OVERLAY DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT
7:36:33PM DESIGN STANDARDS AT THE TIME OF PERMITTING.
7:36:35PM GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE LOT AND PROPOSED RM 18 ZONING, MAXIMUM
7:36:39PM NUMBER OF DWELLING UNITS CONSIDERED IS TWO.
7:36:43PM NEXT, I HAVE A SURVEY OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
7:36:45PM THE SITE IS OUTLINED IN YELLOW.
7:36:48PM IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 54 FEET OF STREET FRONTAGE ALONG WEST
7:36:52PM FIG STREET.
7:36:52PM AND GIVEN THE SURROUNDING USES, REQUESTED USE OF RM 18 IS
7:37:03PM BOTH APPROPRIATE IN LOCATION AND PROVIDES AN APPROPRIATE
7:37:06PM TRANSITION WITH SURROUNDING PARCELS.
7:37:09PM WE DO HAVE SOME PARCELS OR SOME PHOTOS NEXT OF THE SUBJECT
7:37:13PM SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA.
7:37:14PM THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
7:37:23PM NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE ALONG WEST GRAY STREET, SOUTH OF

7:37:28PM THE SUBJECT SITE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF WEST FIG STREET.
7:37:32PM EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE, THIS SITE HAS NOT ONLY FRONTAGE
7:37:37PM ALONG FIG STREET BUT ALSO ALONG ARMENIA AVENUE.
7:37:42PM A LITTLE FURTHER EAST, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE PLANNED
7:37:46PM DEVELOPMENT SITES.
7:37:47PM THIS WAS A SITE THAT WAS APPROVED IN 2004 FOR PROFESSIONAL
7:37:51PM OFFICE.
7:37:51PM WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE, AND THAT'S ALL WE HAVE FOR PHOTOS
7:38:01PM AT THIS TIME.
7:38:01PM THIS IS A EUCLIDEAN REZONING.
7:38:05PM THERE IS NO SITE PLAN.
7:38:06PM NO ELEVATIONS TO SHOW YOU AS PART OF OUR PRESENTATION.
7:38:09PM DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION COMPLIANCE STAFF HAVE REVIEWED THE
7:38:11PM APPLICATION.
7:38:12PM WE FIND THE REQUEST TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA
7:38:14PM LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.
7:38:15PM AND I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
7:38:18PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANY QUESTIONS?

7:38:35PM I WAS SWORN IN.

7:38:37PM CASE IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT, WEST TAMPA
7:38:41PM URBAN VILLAGE ARMORY GARDENS NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:38:43PM EVACUATION ZONE C.
7:38:45PM SUBJECT SITE INCLUDING PARCELS ON ALL SIDES RECOGNIZED UNDER
7:38:49PM RESIDENTIAL 20 DESIGNATION.
7:38:51PM THERE ARE CMU 35 COUPLE OF BLOCKS NORTH AND SOUTH ALONG
7:38:54PM ARMENIA AVENUE.
7:38:56PM THE PROPOSED RM 18 ZONING DISTRICT CAN BE CONSIDERED WITHIN
7:38:59PM THE R-20 DESIGNATION PER THE CONSISTENCY MATRIX IN THE LDC.
7:39:06PM AND WILL PROVIDE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE
7:39:08PM R-20 DESIGNATION.
7:39:10PM THE REQUEST SUPPORTS POLICIES IN THE PLAN AS IT RELATES TO
7:39:13PM HOUSING THE CITY'S POPULATION.
7:39:15PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROMOTES DEVELOPMENT PATTERN
7:39:17PM CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPACT CITY FORM STRATEGY WHICH
7:39:20PM ENCOURAGES INFILL DEVELOPMENT PROXIMITY TO TRANSIT AND
7:39:24PM EMPLOYMENT SERVICES.
7:39:25PM THIS REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THAT POLICY DIRECTION.
7:39:29PM ADDITIONALLY, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DIRECTS THE GREATEST
7:39:31PM SHARE OF GROWTH TO URBAN VILLAGES.
7:39:33PM THE PROPOSED REZONING SUPPORTS THESE POLICY WHILE
7:39:37PM ENCOURAGING NEW HOUSING UNDERUTILIZED LAND IN PROXIMITY TO
7:39:40PM COMMERCIAL AND TRANSIT SERVICES ALONG NORTH ARMENIA AVENUE
7:39:44PM AND ALSO WITHIN AN URBAN VILLAGE.
7:39:46PM FINALLY, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ENCOURAGES ATTACHED

7:39:48PM SINGLE-FAMILY USES TO BE DESIGNED TO INCLUDE THE ORIENTATION
7:39:53PM FRONT DOORS TOWARD THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SIDEWALK, OR STREET.
7:39:56PM WHEN DESIGNING THE SITE, THE FRONT ENTRANCE TO THE PROPOSED
7:40:00PM UNIT SHOULD BE ORIENTED TOWARD WEST ARCH STREET TO ADDRESS
7:40:03PM THIS POLICY.
7:40:04PM BASED ON THE CONSIDERATIONS, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FINDS
7:40:07PM THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE
7:40:09PM PLAN AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
7:40:14PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANY QUESTIONS?

7:40:15PM APPLICANT.
7:40:19PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
7:40:20PM STEVE MICHELINI REPRESENTING THE PETITIONER.
7:40:25PM AS STAFF POINTED OUT, THIS IS EUCLIDEAN ZONING, SO THERE ARE
7:40:28PM NO WAIVERS THAT WILL BE REQUESTED OR ALLOWED UNDER THAT
7:40:32PM DESIGNATION.
7:40:33PM THEY HAVE TO MEET ALL OF THE BUILDING CODES AS WELL AS THE
7:40:36PM WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
7:40:37PM AS STAFF HAS POINTED OUT TO YOU, THIS SITS IN THE MIDDLE OF
7:40:42PM R-20 LAND USE DESIGNATION AREA, -- IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S ON THE
7:41:01PM PERIMETER OR ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE AREA.
7:41:04PM IT SITS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE, SURROUNDED BY OTHER RM 18s
7:41:08PM WHICH ARE IMMEDIATELY TO THE WEST AND THE PROFESSIONAL
7:41:10PM OFFICES WHICH ARE TO THE EAST AS WELL AS OTHER MULTIFAMILY
7:41:16PM DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE WITHIN THE AREA.

7:41:20PM WE MEET THE CRITERIA FOR CONSIDERATION BY BOTH THE PLANNING
7:41:24PM COMMISSION, LAND USE CRITERIA AS WELL AS ZONING CRITERIA TO
7:41:28PM BE CONSIDERED FOR A REZONING TO GO TO RM 18.
7:41:32PM THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES, AGAIN, ARE ALREADY DEVELOPED OR
7:41:39PM WILL BE DEVELOPED IN THOSE HIGHER DENSITY DESIGNATIONS.
7:41:43PM THE RESIDENTIAL AND SINGLE-FAMILY -- I'M READING FROM THE

7:41:49PM THE BLOCK BETWEEN NORTH ARMENIA AND NORTH TAMPANIA PRIMARILY
7:41:53PM CONSISTS OF RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED AND
7:41:55PM SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED.
7:41:56PM OVER THE PAST DECADE, MULTIPLE REZONINGS HAVE OCCURRED AND
7:41:59PM THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN INCLUDES SINGLE-FAMILY,
7:42:03PM SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES.
7:42:07PM SO WE'RE NOT INTRODUCING A USE THAT IS UNIQUE TO THIS AREA.
7:42:12PM IT IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT'S ALREADY THERE.
7:42:15PM DIRECTLY NORTH AND SOUTH AND TO THE WEST REMAINS
7:42:20PM CHARACTERISTIC OF RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED AND
7:42:22PM SEMI DETACHED.
7:42:23PM FURTHER SOUTH, DEVELOPMENT PATTERN CONTINUES TO

7:42:29PM THE RM ZONING 18 REZONING IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT
7:42:34PM PATTERN IN THE AREA AND IS -- SHOULD IT BE APPROVED MUST
7:42:37PM ADHERE TO THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION OF THE
7:42:41PM R-20 DENSITY, WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF TWO
7:42:45PM UNITS.

7:42:46PM THERE ARE A NUMBER OF LAND USE CRITERIA -- DEVELOPMENT
7:42:54PM CRITERIA THAT IT MEETS AND THEY ARE ALL LISTED IN THE
7:42:56PM REPORT.
7:42:57PM THE TRANSITION INCLUDES SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED AREA.
7:43:00PM THIS PORTION OF WEST FIG BETWEEN NORTH TAMPANIA, EXCLUDING
7:43:05PM THE SUBJECT AREA, DEVELOPED EXISTING DENSITY OF 11.13 UNITS
7:43:09PM TO THE ACRE.
7:43:11PM BASED ON NINE SAMPLE SITES, APPROXIMATELY 55% OF THE DENSITY
7:43:15PM ANTICIPATED UNDER R-20 DESIGNATION.
7:43:17PM THE R-20 DESIGNATION AND THE SITE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR
7:43:20PM MAXIMUM OF TWO DWELLING UNITS AND DENSITY OF 16.6 AND IT IS
7:43:27PM CONSISTENT AS PROPOSED.
7:43:28PM DISTRICT WILL PROVIDE FOR A DEVELOPMENT THAT IS COMPATIBLE
7:43:31PM AND THE RESIDENTIAL DESIGNATION WITHIN THE AREA.
7:43:36PM BOTH THE CITY STAFF REPORT AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION
7:43:40PM REPORT SUPPORT THIS, AND AGAIN, IT IS A EUCLIDEAN, SO THERE
7:43:44PM ARE NO WAIVERS.
7:43:45PM WE HAVE TO MEET ALL OF THE CODES.

7:43:50PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?

7:44:13PM I THOUGHT I'D COME UP AND JUST TELL YOU THAT WE APPROVE --
7:44:20PM WE APPROVE OF IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT A PD MAINLY.
7:44:25PM THE OTHER THING IS, THERE IS A GRAND TREE IN THE MIDDLE OF
7:44:28PM THE ALLEY, SO THEY CANNOT UTILIZE THE ALLEY ANYWAY.
7:44:33PM THAT'S TWO DOWN FROM THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
7:44:36PM I JUST REALLY WANTED TO COME UP AND SURPRISE MR. MICHELINI
7:44:40PM BY SAYING THAT WE APPROVE, AND THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD

7:53:07PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: STEVE MICHELINI, REPRESENTING THE
7:53:09PM PETITIONER.
7:53:10PM I'M GOING TO DEPART A LITTLE BIT FROM HOW WE NORMALLY
7:53:17PM PRESENT THESE.
7:53:18PM I WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW WE SOLVED THE COURTYARD ISSUE
7:53:22PM REGARDING HOW TOWN HOUSES SHOULD BE BUILT.
7:53:24PM COUNCIL MAY REMEMBER SEVERAL MONTHS AGO YOU WERE GIVEN A
7:53:28PM DIAGRAM THAT SAID BASICALLY LOOK AT THIS AS A TEMPLATE.
7:53:34PM LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENS HERE.
7:53:36PM THIS IS THE FRONT BUILDING.
7:53:40PM THIS IS THE COURTYARD ACCESS.
7:53:44PM I'M REALLY IMPRESS WITH THE WAY THEY HAVE DONE THIS.
7:53:48PM REALLY OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
7:53:50PM HERE ARE THE TWO BUILDINGS SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE SIDE

7:53:52PM ACCESSES.
7:53:53PM THE DRIVEWAY ENTRANCE HERE IS OFF OF THE ALLEY.
7:53:56PM NOT OFF OF THE FRONT STREET.
7:53:58PM YOU HAVE PERSONAL RECREATIONAL SPACE THAT'S DEFINED.
7:54:08PM AND IT'S ATTRACTIVE.
7:54:09PM IT JUST HAPPENS THAT WE CAN WORK THAT OUT WITH THE
7:54:12PM DIMENSIONS OF THIS PROPERTY.
7:54:14PM THIS IS THE CENTRAL CORRIDOR FOR THE DRIVEWAY AND THE
7:54:20PM GARAGES.
7:54:21PM I'M GOING TO ZOOM IN ON THE DIMENSIONS OF THAT BECAUSE I
7:54:24PM KNOW HOW CONCERNED YOU ALL HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST.
7:54:27PM BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THAT -- THERE WE GO.
7:54:44PM ANYWAY, THEY ARE A LITTLE MORE THAN 20 FEET WIDE AND THEY
7:54:48PM ARE A LITTLE MORE THAN 24 FEET DEEP.
7:54:50PM AND THERE IS A SPECIAL AREA DESIGNATED THERE FOR TRASH
7:54:54PM STORAGE AND COLLECTION.
7:54:56PM THE OTHER ISSUES THAT YOU'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT HAVE BEEN
7:54:59PM ADDRESSED IN THESE PLANS.
7:55:02PM THIS IS A LARGER VIEW OF JUST HOW ATTRACTIVE THOSE
7:55:11PM COURTYARDS ARE GOING TO BE.
7:55:12PM ANYWAY, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF AS WELL AS THE CITY
7:55:15PM STAFF FOUND IT TO BE CONSISTENT.
7:55:18PM WE DID RECEIVE A DESIGN EXCEPTION FOR THE SETBACK ON THE
7:55:22PM FRONT TO MAKE IT IN LINE WITH THE OTHER BUILDINGS THAT ARE
7:55:25PM ALREADY EXISTING ON THE STREET FRONTAGE.

7:55:28PM THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE CITY STAFF HAVE BOTH FOUND
7:55:32PM IT TO BE CONSISTENT AND WE MEET A NUMBER OF THE LAND USE
7:55:37PM CLASSIFICATIONS DESIGNATIONS FOR COMPATIBILITY.
7:55:41PM WE'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME WORKING ON THIS TO MAKE IT AN
7:55:45PM ATTRACTIVE DEVELOPMENT.
7:55:47PM I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE I CAN ADD.
7:55:50PM THE REPORT IS PRETTY SPECIFIC.
7:55:52PM TELLS YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW.
7:55:54PM R 35 DESIGNATION AREA AND WE'RE REQUESTING THAT THIS TOWN
7:55:59PM HOUSE PROJECT BE CONSIDERED AND APPROVED.
7:56:04PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I JUST WANTED TO SAY I HAVE TOURED SIMILAR
7:56:09PM DEVELOPMENTS IN ST. PETE AND SAW THAT EXACT RECREATIONAL
7:56:15PM SPACE I BELIEVE YOU CALLED IT -- PERSONAL RECREATIONAL
7:56:19PM SPACE.
7:56:20PM BUT IT REALLY LOOKS LOVELY.
7:56:22PM I DO APPRECIATE THE WAY THAT THE CARS ARE ACCESSED THROUGH
7:56:26PM THE ALLEY.
7:56:27PM IT'S A MUCH NICER, CLEANER STREET.
7:56:29PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: WE TRY TO -- WE LISTENED, OBVIOUSLY, YOU
7:56:34PM KNOW I'M HERE FREQUENTLY AND LISTEN TO YOUR COMMENTS, AND WE
7:56:38PM TRY TO INCORPORATE THEM IN ADVANCE.
7:56:40PM SO THAT WHEN WE'RE COMING BEFORE YOU, IT'S NOT AN
7:56:46PM ADVERSARIAL DISCUSSION.
7:56:48PM IT'S HERE, WE'VE DONE IT, AND WE'VE DONE IT NICELY.
7:56:53PM >>LYNN HURTAK: IT IS.

7:56:54PM BECAUSE NORMALLY IT IS LIKE A SIDEWALK.
7:56:56PM AND THIS IS MORE OF A PLACE PEOPLE WANT TO SPEND TIME.
7:56:59PM I THINK THAT REALLY DOES ENHANCE THE REST OF THE
7:57:01PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:57:02PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: WE'VE ENHANCED IT WITH LANDSCAPING.
7:57:04PM WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY WAIVERS ON LANDSCAPING, AND THOSE
7:57:09PM RECREATION SPACES ARE GOING TO MAKE IT A VERY ATTRACTIVE
7:57:12PM DEVELOPMENT.
7:57:13PM LIKE I SAID, THE REPORT GOES THROUGH A LOT OF DETAIL OF HOW
7:57:18PM WE'RE COMPATIBLE ON BOTH THE ZONING SIDE AND ON THE PLANNING
7:57:21PM COMMISSION SIDE.
7:57:22PM I KNOW IT'S KIND OF LATE FOR YOU ALL AND YOU'VE GOT MORE TO
7:57:27PM DO.
7:57:28PM I DON'T REALLY WANT TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH THERE, BUT WE HAVE
7:57:31PM MET THE PD CRITERIA TO BE CONSIDERED IN TERMS OF INFILL,
7:57:38PM BEING COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER PROPERTIES.
7:57:40PM IT DOESN'T ADVERSELY AFFECT ANY OTHER PROPERTY.
7:57:44PM RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL.
7:57:46PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:57:50PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YOU PROBABLY SHOULD GO BUY THAT LOTTO TICKET.
7:57:53PM FOR ME TO ACTUALLY LIKE AN AISLE-STYLE DEVELOPMENT IS
7:57:56PM INCREDIBLY RARE.
7:57:57PM TWO IN ONE NIGHT, I DON'T KNOW.
7:58:00PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I WOULD RECOMMEND ONE OF THE $5, $20
7:58:04PM SCRATCH-OFF TICKETS AT PUBLIX.

7:59:09PM ONE, I'LL SUPPORT IT, ONLY BECAUSE IT'S IN THAT FIRST CITY
7:59:12PM BLOCK FROM COLUMBUS AVENUE.

7:59:40PM EXPANDING THE EAST-WEST CORRIDOR ON COLUMBUS AVENUE OF
7:59:43PM FUTURE TRANSPORTATION.
7:59:44PM INCREASING DENSITY ALONG TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR.

8:06:20PM OF ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOODS.
8:06:22PM DUE TO THE SITE BEING ADJACENT TO UMU 60 TO THE NORTH AND
8:06:26PM THE SITE INTERFACING THE EXISTING -- AN EXISTING MULTIFAMILY
8:06:30PM DEVELOPMENT, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS DETERMINED THAT
8:06:32PM THE SITE IS LOCATED ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF AN ESTABLISHED

8:06:44PM THE SITE IS ALSO LOCATED NEAR TRANSIT EMPLOYMENT AND
8:06:47PM AMENITIES ALONG WEST KENNEDY BOULEVARD MAKING IT SUITABLE
8:06:50PM FOR DIVERSE HOUSING CHOICES.
8:06:53PM THE REQUEST WAS ALSO FOUND COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH

8:07:27PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
8:07:28PM APPLICANT?
8:07:28PM YES, SIR, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
8:07:36PM >> MY NAME IS CHRIS VALIENTE.
8:07:39PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WERE YOU SWORN IN?
8:07:41PM >> YES.
8:07:42PM NO, I'LL DO IT AGAIN.
8:07:43PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I SAW A COUPLE NEW PEOPLE COME IN.

8:07:45PM IF YOU'RE GOING TO SPEAK TONIGHT AND YOU WERE NOT SWORN,
8:07:48PM PLEASE STAND AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.
8:07:51PM [OATH ADMINISTERED]
8:07:56PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, SIR.
8:07:58PM >> OKAY.
8:07:58PM TRY TO MAKE THIS AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE.
8:08:03PM I KNOW IT'S LATE.
8:08:05PM COUNCIL MEMBERS, MY NAME IS CHRIS.
8:08:08PM I AM THE SON OF THE OWNER OF 103 SOUTH HALE.
8:08:11PM I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOU TONIGHT.
8:08:14PM I'M HERE NOT JUST AS A BUILDER, BUT AS A NEIGHBOR AND A
8:08:17PM RESIDENT OF THE COMMUNITY.
8:08:18PM MY FAMILY PREVIOUSLY LIVED AT 103 SOUTH HALE.
8:08:22PM OUR GOAL OF THE REZONING IS SIMPLE, CREATE A DUPLEX THAT
8:08:24PM ALLOWS TWO SEPARATE FAMILIES TO LIVE TOGETHER ON ONE
8:08:27PM PROPERTY.
8:08:28PM THIS IS NOT A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OR HIGH DENSITY
8:08:31PM COMPLEX.
8:08:31PM WE'RE PROPOSING A THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED TWO FAMILY HOME THAT
8:08:35PM RESPECTS THE SCALE AND CHARACTER OF SWANN ESTATES.
8:08:38PM IT IS BEING BUILT TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS AND WE'VE TAKEN
8:08:41PM EXTRA CARE TO ENSURE THAT IT BLENDS IN BEAUTIFULLY WITH THE
8:08:44PM SURROUNDING HOMES.
8:08:45PM THIS IS A FEW RENDERINGS OF THE DESIGN.
8:08:50PM THIS WOULD BE THE NEIGHBOR TO THE SOUTH.

8:08:55PM WE PLAN TO PUT LANDSCAPING IN THERE CREATE A BUFFER FROM
8:08:58PM THAT TRANSITION.
8:08:59PM HERE IS ANOTHER VIEW.
8:09:06PM ANOTHER ONE.
8:09:06PM IT'S NOT A THROW-UP BUILDING.
8:09:14PM WE'RE PUTTING STONE HERE.
8:09:16PM NATURAL WOOD.
8:09:16PM WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE IT AESTHETICALLY PLEASING AS POSSIBLE
8:09:20PM BECAUSE I LOVE BUILDING AND THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO DO.
8:09:23PM ANOTHER VIEW.
8:09:24PM THIS IS ONE AT NIGHT WITH LIGHTS.
8:09:29PM AND THEN THE LAST ONE HERE, JUST A TOP VIEW SHOWING THE
8:09:36PM ENTRANCE HERE, GARAGE.
8:09:37PM THIS WOULD BE LIKE A GATE TO ENTER.
8:09:40PM LITTLE COURTYARD WITH PLANTS AND DOOR ENTRANCE TO THE HOUSE.
8:09:43PM FEW THINGS INSIDE.
8:09:47PM SIMPLE INTERIOR RENDERINGS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON TO SHOW
8:09:50PM THAT IT IS NOTHING -- FITS IN WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT
8:09:54PM PEOPLE ARE BUILDING.
8:09:55PM JUST AN EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING SIMILAR THAT'S REAL-LIFE HOME
8:10:07PM THAT RESEMBLES THAT KIND OF LOOK.
8:10:10PM DELRAY BEACH, KIND OF SAME STYLE WE'RE DOING.
8:10:16PM NICE COMMUNITY THERE.
8:10:17PM THEY DO A LOT OF NICE DUPLEXES OR TOWNHOMES.
8:10:20PM EACH UNIT IS 2,485 SQUARE FEET LIVING.

8:10:30PM THAT'S EQUIVALENT TO BUILDING A 5,000 SQUARE FOOT HOME,
8:10:35PM WHICH IS VERY COMMON IN SIZE IN NEW BUILDS.
8:10:39PM WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR MUCH IN HOMES, MINI-MANSIONS AS THEY
8:10:43PM CALL THEM ARE UPWARDS OF 6,000 SQUARE FEET.
8:10:47PM TAKING A HOME 5,000 SQUARE FEET AND THEN SPLITTING IT IN THE
8:10:51PM MIDDLE.
8:10:51PM THIS IS EASILY ONE HOME, BUT IMAGINE SWANN NOT BEING HERE,
8:10:57PM THAT COULD BE BUILT WITHOUT A PD.
8:10:59PM BECAUSE WE WANT TO PUT A WALL HERE TO SEPARATE TWO FAMILIES
8:11:02PM IT REQUIRES US TO DO THIS.
8:11:05PM THE MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT ALLOWED IS 35 FEET.
8:11:13PM 35 FEET IS ALL THE WAY UP HERE.
8:11:15PM AND WE ARE ONLY BUILDING TO 24 FEET, 10 INCHES.
8:11:18PM WE ARE ACTUALLY LOWER IN HEIGHT IN COMPARISON TO PRETTY MUCH
8:11:22PM EVERY OTHER TWO-FAMILY -- I MEAN, EVERY OTHER LIKE TWO-STORY
8:11:26PM HOME IN THE AREA.
8:11:28PM WE'RE BLENDING IN.
8:11:29PM NOT STICKING OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB.
8:11:33PM THE MINIMUM SIDE YARD SETBACKS ALLOWED ARE SEVEN FEET.
8:11:38PM DESIGNED TO GENEROUS EIGHT FEET FIVE INCHES ON EITHER SIDE.
8:11:43PM CAN BE SHIFTED TO THE NORTH MORE TO CREATE A GREATER BUFFER
8:11:48PM TO THE NEIGHBOR TO THE SOUTH.
8:11:50PM OVER HERE, WE HAVE 8 FEET, 4 INCHES.
8:11:54PM OVER HERE 8 FEET, 5 INCHES.
8:11:56PM REQUIREMENT IS 7.

8:11:57PM WE'RE NOT PUSHING -- NOT DOING THIS GIANT BUILDING ON A
8:12:01PM SMALL LOT.
8:12:02PM THIS CAN PUSH THIS WAY IF NEED BE TO CREATE GREATER DISTANCE
8:12:08PM FROM THIS HOUSE HERE.
8:12:09PM THE SITE DATA, TOTAL IMPERVIOUS OF PROPOSED BUILDING IS
8:12:16PM 47.3%.
8:12:18PM WE ARE UNDER THE MAXIMUM IMPERVIOUS REQUIREMENTS OF 50%.
8:12:21PM WITH 52.7% OF THE LOT BEING PERVIOUS OR GREENSPACE.
8:12:28PM THIS IS OUR BUILDING SETBACK IN THE BACK.
8:12:34PM WE'RE ALL OVER HERE.
8:12:35PM WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR MUCH BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF SPACE
8:12:38PM THAT MOST PEOPLE WANT TO PUSH AND SQUEEZE.
8:12:41PM THE PROPERTY AS YOU CAN SEE IS SURROUNDED BY COMMERCIAL ON
8:12:46PM THREE SIDES, AS THEY DESCRIBED.
8:12:48PM EAST IS THE PARKING LOT.
8:12:50PM DIRECTLY NORTH, THERE IS COMMERCIAL SHOPPING.
8:12:52PM TO THE WEST IS JANSEN'S APARTMENTS WHICH YOU SAW.
8:12:57PM 16 UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX BUILT IN 1971.
8:13:01PM THAT IS 12,324 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING.
8:13:05PM THEY TAKE ABOUT 55% OF THE LOT.
8:13:08PM THEY DON'T MEET THE IMPERVIOUS STANDARDS AND THEY ARE LIKE
8:13:11PM 19 PARKING SPOTS THERE.
8:13:13PM TWO BLOCKS SOUTH ON THE SAME STREET WHICH HE SHOWED YOU IS
8:13:16PM 22 SOUTH HALE.
8:13:19PM THAT IS A TRIPLEX.

8:13:34PM LET ME SHOW YOU ACTUALLY SOME ADDITIONAL PICTURES.
8:13:44PM THESE ARE ADDITIONAL PICTURES OF THE APARTMENT ACROSS THE
8:13:49PM STREET.
8:13:50PM HERE IS THE SIDE BUILDING.
8:13:55PM I'M SHOWING YOU THIS BECAUSE SOME OF THE CONCERNS OF THE
8:13:58PM NEIGHBORS THAT THIS IS SETTING A PRECEDENT FOR THE
8:14:01PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:14:02PM WE'RE TRYING TO SHOW THAT PRESENT -- I MEAN, THIS IS IN THE
8:14:06PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:14:07PM THERE'S NO YARD.
8:14:08PM IT'S ALL A PARKING LOT.
8:14:09PM ALL CONCRETE.
8:14:10PM SO WE'RE PROPOSING IS COMPLETELY GENEROUS IN COMPARISON TO
8:14:15PM WHAT'S ALREADY THERE.
8:14:17PM THIS IS THE TRIPLEX THAT WAS SHOWN.
8:14:31PM THIS IS THREE UNITS.
8:14:32PM THREE UNITS IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:14:35PM NO GARAGE.
8:14:36PM IT'S ONE GARAGE FOR THREE UNITS.
8:14:40PM WE HAVE TWO UNITS WITH TWO-CAR GARAGE WITH ADDITIONAL
8:14:45PM PARKING FOR -- ON THE DRIVEWAY.
8:14:47PM THAT'S JUST HALE.
8:14:49PM LET'S LOOK AT SWANN ESTATES AS A WHOLE.
8:14:52PM LET ME PULL UP SWANN ESTATES AS A WHOLE.
8:14:57PM THIS IS US RIGHT HERE.

8:15:00PM THIS IS THE APARTMENT COMPLEX.
8:15:02PM THESE ARE THE TWO UNITS THAT WE JUST SHOWED.
8:15:09PM SO THIS ONE HERE IS NEXT TO THE ONE I JUST SHOWED YOU, WHICH
8:15:12PM IS RIGHT HERE.
8:15:14PM THERE ARE TWO UNITS THERE.
8:15:18PM TWO MAILBOXES.
8:15:21PM ALSO, THEY DON'T HAVE A GARAGE.
8:15:24PM THIS IS US.
8:15:26PM AND ALL THESE RED DOTS ARE UNITS.
8:15:31PM YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS MIXED.
8:15:33PM IT'S NOT JUST SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
8:15:36PM THERE IS A COMMON THEME HERE AND ALL THE MAIN STREETS,
8:15:40PM MORRISON, DALE MABRY, KENNEDY, THEY ARE ALIGNED WITH
8:15:44PM MULTIFAMILY UNITS.
8:15:45PM THESE ARE NOT JUST DUPLEXES, THESE ARE APARTMENT COMPLEXES.
8:15:50PM HERE IS A GOOD EXAMPLE.
8:15:53PM THIS IS RECENTLY BUILT I THINK ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, FOUR
8:15:58PM YEARS AGO, BUT THIS IS NICE.
8:16:00PM DUPLEX.
8:16:00PM THIS IS RIGHT HERE.
8:16:02PM AND THERE ARE ABOUT NINE OF THESE.
8:16:04PM THIS IS RIGHT HERE ON De LEON STREET AND SWANN.
8:16:07PM THERE'S LIKE A COUPLE HERE.
8:16:10PM I BELIEVE SIX HERE AND THREE HERE.
8:16:14PM SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

8:16:15PM AND THEN BESIDES THAT, EVERYTHING THIS WAY WHICH IS NOT
8:16:24PM SWANN ESTATES BUT STILL CONSIDERED SOUTH TAMPA.
8:16:26PM THIS IS A TREND ALL THE WAY TO WESTSHORE.
8:16:29PM I'VE SPOKEN WITH THE NEIGHBORS.
8:16:31PM I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS ABOUT THE CHARACTER AND DRAINAGE
8:16:34PM BUT I WANT TO BE CLEAR THIS PROJECT WILL ENHANCE NOT HARM
8:16:36PM THE COMMUNITY.
8:16:37PM HOME WILL INCLUDE MODERN, UP TO STATE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
8:16:40PM SYSTEMS.
8:16:41PM CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA STORMWATER AND WE WILL
8:16:43PM MEET OR EXCEED ANY AND ALL REQUIREMENTS OF STORMWATER
8:16:46PM DEPARTMENT.
8:16:46PM THE DEVELOPMENT WILL BE FAR MORE EFFECTIVE THAN WHAT'S
8:16:50PM CURRENTLY ON THE PROPERTY.
8:16:51PM THE CITY OF TAMPA WILL NOT ALLOW US TO BUILD ANYTHING NEW
8:16:54PM WITHOUT MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR IMPROVEMENT.
8:16:56PM AGAIN, WE ARE UNDER THE TOTAL IMPERVIOUS.
8:17:01PM NO DIFFERENT THAN BUILDING A LARGE 5,000 SQUARE FOOT HOME.
8:17:05PM NEIGHBORS HAD NO CONCERN OVER THE APARTMENTS WHICH I SHOWED
8:17:09PM YOU, WHICH HAVE NO GREENSPACE AT ALL.
8:17:11PM WE UNDERSTAND THAT ONE OF THE CONCERNS RAISED BY THE
8:17:14PM NEIGHBORS REGARDING THIS REZONING IS THE POTENTIAL IMPACT ON
8:17:19PM PARKING IN THE AREA.
8:17:21PM RESPECT THOSE CONCERNS, IT'S IMPORTANT TO CLARIFY THAT THIS
8:17:24PM PROPOSED DUPLEX FULLY COMPLIES WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA

8:17:27PM PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
8:17:28PM IN FACT, TRANSPORTATION DIVISION HAS REVIEWED THIS PROPOSAL
8:17:31PM AND FOUND NO INCONSISTENCIES OR VIOLATIONS RELATED TO
8:17:34PM PARKING.
8:17:34PM EACH UNIT EQUIPPED WITH A PRIVATE GARAGE AND/OR DRIVING
8:17:39PM SPACE, MEETING CODE REQUIREMENT IN NUMBER AND CONFIGURATION.
8:17:43PM NO REQUEST FOR PARKING VARIANCES OR EXCEPTIONS.
8:17:46PM IMPORTANT TO VIEW THIS IN A PROPER CONTEXT AGAIN WITH THE
8:17:49PM WHOLE THING OF BUILDING ONE LARGE HOME, SAY, 5,000, 6,000
8:17:55PM SQUARE FOOT HOME, SAME PARKING REQUIREMENTS AS TWO UNITS
8:18:00PM THAT ARE LIKE THREE BEDROOMS.
8:18:04PM I HAVE TO DO THE PD BECAUSE I HAVE TO SEPARATE THE TWO
8:18:08PM FAMILIES.
8:18:08PM ANOTHER CONCERN IS APPROVING THIS REZONING REQUEST FOR A
8:18:12PM DUPLEX WOULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT SURROUNDING PROPERTY VALUES.
8:18:15PM BUT WHEN WE LOOK AT THE CONTEXT OF THE IMMEDIATE
8:18:18PM SURROUNDINGS, THE ARGUMENT DOESN'T HOLD UP.
8:18:20PM DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET IS THE 16 UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX.
8:18:24PM AND JUST STEPS AWAY TO THE NORTH WHICH I COUNTED, 92 FEET,
8:18:28PM IS THE COMMERCIAL CENTER, WHICH INCLUDES CHICKEN SPOT, ICE
8:18:32PM CREAM, RESTAURANT, SALON AND MUCH MORE.
8:18:35PM BUSY COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR.
8:18:37PM THESE USES ALREADY EXIST.
8:18:39PM THEY HAD BEEN EXISTING WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY HAVE
8:18:42PM PROVEN TO NOT HAVE PREVENTED PROPERTY VALUES FROM BEING

8:18:46PM LOWERED.
8:18:50PM THEY HAVE NOT PREVENTED THE PROPERTY VALUES FROM RISING OR
8:18:53PM THE AREA REMAINING HIGHLY DESIRABLE, WHICH IT'S VERY
8:18:57PM DESIRABLE.
8:18:59PM THE SAME WAY -- THIS LOCATION ACTUALLY MAKES HALE ONE OF THE
8:19:05PM MOST TRAFFIC FRIENDLY STREETS IN THE AREA.
8:19:07PM A PROJECT LIKE THIS STREET ACCOMMODATES MIXED RESIDENTIAL
8:19:10PM AND NEARBY RESIDENTIAL ACTIVITY.
8:19:13PM TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT REVIEWED THE SITE.
8:19:15PM NO CONCERN WITH CONSISTENCIES.
8:19:20PM KENNEDY, YOU CAN GO IN AND OUT OF HALE ON KENNEDY, BOTH EAST
8:19:23PM AND WEST.
8:19:24PM IT DOESN'T REQUIRE THAT YOU HAVE TO DRIVE THROUGH THE
8:19:26PM NEIGHBORHOOD TO ACCESS THESE TOWNHOMES.
8:19:33PM WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT COST OF LIVING CONTINUES TO GO UP.
8:19:36PM I KNOW IT IS A COMMON TALKING POINT.
8:19:38PM BUT HOUSING COSTS ON THE RISE.
8:19:40PM THE DUPLEX OFFERS MORE ATTAINABLE OWNERSHIP OPTION FOR
8:19:44PM FAMILIES WHO WANT TO LIVE AND ENJOY THAT AREA WITHOUT
8:19:49PM COMPROMISING QUALITY OR SAFETY.
8:19:52PM TOO MANY OLDER HOMES OUT OF DATE AND DO NOT MEET HURRICANE
8:19:57PM STANDARDS.
8:19:57PM THE HOMES THAT MEET THE HURRICANE STANDARDS ARE MUCH MORE
8:20:00PM EXPENSIVE ON PER SQUARE FEET BASIS.
8:20:02PM WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR SOMETHING RADICAL, BUT JUST THE MINIMAL

8:20:05PM ALLOWED.
8:20:06PM ASKING FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE THE PROPERTY IN A WAY
8:20:09PM THAT BENEFITS THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE CITY, THROUGH A
8:20:11PM THOUGHTFUL DESIGN, RESPONSIBLE CONSTRUCTION AND FORWARD
8:20:14PM THINKING DEVELOPING.
8:20:16PM I HOPE THAT YOU APPROVE THIS.
8:20:19PM THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
8:20:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
8:20:22PM ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 9?
8:20:25PM ANYBODY WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 9, PLEASE LINE UP
8:20:34PM AGAINST THE WALL AND WE'LL GO ONE BY ONE.
8:20:38PM YES, SIR, COME ON UP AND STATE YOUR NAME.
8:20:49PM >> HI, COUNCIL.
8:20:50PM ASSAD SHEIKH.
8:20:51PM I SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.
8:20:53PM I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT THE 16 UNIT APARTMENT
8:20:58PM COMPLEX ACROSS THE STREET IS ON A 20,000-SQUARE-FOOT LOT.
8:21:01PM WHAT HE'S PROPOSING IS TWO UNITS ON 11,000 SQUARE FEET.
8:21:05PM SO ACROSS THE STREET, THE DENSITY IS LITERALLY FOUR TIMES AS
8:21:08PM GREAT.
8:21:09PM BEHIND HIM IS A COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT.
8:21:11PM RIGHT NEXT TO HIM IS A STRIP PLAZA THAT HAS A CHICKEN SALAD
8:21:15PM CHICK WHICH HAS CHICKEN SANDWICHES, ICE CREAM SHOP, NAIL
8:21:19PM SHOP AND NEW YORK JEWELERS.
8:21:21PM SO THIS IS A PRETTY INTENSE AREA AS IT IS.

8:21:25PM I READ THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S LETTERS OF OPPOSITION.
8:21:28PM THEY WERE VERY WELL DETAILED AND WELL THOUGHT OUT LETTERS.
8:21:31PM I JUST WOULD CONTEST THAT THIS SETS A PRECEDENT BECAUSE I
8:21:34PM THINK COUNCIL WOULD LOOK AT EVERY PROJECT ON ITS OWN MERIT.
8:21:39PM IF A PROJECT WAS PROPOSED MORE INTERIOR TO SWANN ESTATES ON
8:21:42PM BLOCKS THAT DIDN'T HAVE PRECEDENT FOR MULTIFAMILY
8:21:45PM DEVELOPMENT, THEN COUNCIL WOULD LOOK AT THOSE PROJECTS
8:21:47PM DIFFERENTLY.
8:21:48PM BUT THIS IS ADJACENT TO COMMERCIAL USE.
8:21:51PM I THINK IT IS SENSITIVE DEVELOPMENT.
8:21:54PM WHAT I THINK IS INTERESTING, THAT ALTHOUGH IT IS DENSIFYING
8:21:56PM FROM ONE UNIT TO TWO UNITS, IT'S GOING UNDER THE HEIGHT
8:22:00PM LIMIT AND STICKING AT 24 FEET VERSUS 35 --
8:22:03PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: EXCUSE ME, SIR.
8:22:05PM CAN WE PLEASE KEEP CONVERSATIONS OUTSIDE THE ROOM AND BE
8:22:08PM QUIET IN THE CHAMBERS?
8:22:09PM THANK YOU.
8:22:09PM SORRY FOR THE INTERRUPTION.
8:22:10PM PLEASE CONTINUE.
8:22:11PM >> ONLY OTHER POINT I WANTED TO MAKE, I KNOW THERE IS THE
8:22:15PM CONCERN OF GREENSPACE WHICH IS MERITED BECAUSE OF ALL THE
8:22:18PM FLOODING WE'VE HAD DUE TO RECENT HURRICANES, BUT THEY ARE
8:22:20PM STICKING WITH RS 60 SETBACKS.
8:22:22PM THEY HAVEN'T ASKED FOR ANY EXCEPTION TO THE RS 60 SETBACKS.
8:22:26PM THEY ARE NOT GOING FURTHER TO THE BOUNDARY LINES.

8:22:28PM THE AMOUNT OF GREENSPACE THAT THEY WOULD BE HAVING LEFT OVER
8:22:31PM WOULD BE SIMILAR TO WHAT COULD BE DONE BY RIGHT AND THEY ARE
8:22:34PM ACTUALLY BUILDING THE BUILDING SHORTER THAN WHAT WOULD BE
8:22:37PM PERMITTED BY RIGHT.
8:22:38PM I THINK IT HAS LESS ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:22:42PM IN CONCLUSION, THAT'S WHY I SUPPORT THE PROJECT AND HOPE YOU
8:22:45PM DO TOO.
8:22:47PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
8:22:47PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I ASSUME YOU LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD,
8:22:50PM RIGHT?
8:22:51PM >> NO, SIR.
8:22:51PM I LIVE AT 1322 WEST GRAY STREET.
8:22:55PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
8:22:57PM YES, SIR, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
8:22:58PM >> DANIEL.
8:23:00PM I AM A RESIDENT AT 108, RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS
8:23:05PM DEVELOPMENT.
8:23:06PM I BELIEVE THAT BLOCK MASSING IS A NEGATIVE IMPACT TO THIS
8:23:12PM DEVELOPMENT.
8:23:12PM EXISTING CHARACTER AND USE DOES NOT RETAIN THE EXISTING
8:23:16PM BUILDING BLOCK STOCK.
8:23:19PM SALVAGEABLE AND CONTRIBUTES TO THE HISTORIC CHARACTER.
8:23:23PM PRIOR TO OWNER BUYING THE PROPERTY -- I'VE BEEN THERE SINCE
8:23:27PM 2009, THIS IS WHAT WAS THERE.
8:23:30PM SPANISH ARCHITECTURAL STYLE HOME.

8:23:32PM THIS IS MY HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET.
8:23:34PM ARCHITECTURAL STYLE HOME, SINGLE STORY.
8:23:36PM THIS IS WHAT IT TURNED OUT TO BE.
8:23:38PM SINCE THEY MOVED IN, THE PROPERTY APPEARS TO SUFFER
8:23:41PM CONSISTENT NEGLECT AND POOR EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE.
8:23:44PM HIGH OCCUPANCY PATTERNS WITH MULTIPLE INDIVIDUALS RESIDING
8:23:48PM IN THE HOME.
8:23:49PM FREQUENT DISTURBANCES CAUSED BY LOUD MUSIC AND GATHERINGS.
8:23:53PM ABANDONED OR INOPERABLE VEHICLES REMAIN PARKED ON THE NEAR
8:24:00PM PREMISES.
8:24:01PM REPEATED INSTANCES OF DISRUPTIVE SHOUTING THAT WAKE UP MY
8:24:05PM KIDS.
8:24:05PM DRAINAGE, SO THIS IS IN THE FLOODPLAIN.
8:24:10PM WE HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES IN THERE.
8:24:11PM SINCE 2009, WE HAVE FLOODED -- THIS IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
8:24:16PM EVERY TIME THAT IT RAINS, IT FLOODS.
8:24:18PM IT IS NOT NECESSARILY BECAUSE WE ARE CLOSE TO THE WATER.
8:24:21PM UNDER THE STORMWATER SYSTEM IS ACTUALLY -- IT'S TOO SMALL.
8:24:28PM IN 2015, WE HAD ONE CASE WHERE WE HAD SIX FEET OF WATER AND
8:24:33PM THE MANHOLE SHOT UP.
8:24:37PM MORE THAN A MILE OF STORMWATER MISMANAGEMENT THAT PUSHES ALL
8:24:40PM THAT AND PRESSURIZES AND PUTS ALL THAT WATER FROM OUR
8:24:44PM NEIGHBORS INTO THIS AREA.
8:24:46PM IT'S A LOW SPOT.
8:24:47PM MY HOUSE IS SINKING RIGHT NOW, AND I HAVE TO CONTINUALLY

8:24:51PM JACK IT UP.
8:24:52PM WE HAVE A CONSISTENT ISSUE WITH THIS.
8:24:56PM PICTURES AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SUBJECT PROPERTY.
8:24:59PM SO THE SITE, THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF THE SITE NEXT TO HIM AND
8:25:04PM THAT OTHER ONE, THEY USE THAT GREENSPACE THAT CURRENTLY SITS
8:25:07PM THERE AS A SWALE, NOT BECAUSE ANYTHING OTHER THAN TO PREVENT
8:25:12PM THE HOUSE FROM FLOODING, LIKE MY HOUSE DOES.
8:25:15PM SO THIS WAS THE SWALE AND THE NEIGHBOR -- THIS WAS ALREADY
8:25:19PM COVERED BY GRASS AND THE NEIGHBOR COVERED THEIR SWALE.
8:25:22PM ALREADY PUTTING MORE BURDEN ON THE STORMWATER SYSTEM.
8:25:28PM SO THIS WILL BE A PRECEDENT BECAUSE THAT SITE AND THE NEXT
8:25:32PM ONE --
8:25:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS.
8:25:35PM >> IT WILL BE IMPACTED.
8:25:36PM IT'S RM 10, BOTH OF THEM.
8:25:41PM THEY ARE BOTH FRIENDS.
8:25:42PM IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME.
8:25:44PM JUST FOR TAKE OF LOOKING AT WHAT THE NEIGHBOR DOES, WE HAVE
8:25:49PM OUR PROPERTY -- WE HAVE THE APARTMENT RIGHT HERE.
8:25:57PM I LIVE RIGHT NEXT TO IT.
8:25:58PM SAYING, OKAY, WE CANNOT DEVELOP THIS AS SINGLE-FAMILY.
8:26:03PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
8:26:05PM NEXT SPEAKER.
8:26:07PM >> MY NAME IS ROB JOHNSON.
8:26:09PM 111 SOUTH HALE WHICH IS TWO DOWN FROM THE PROPERTY.

8:26:14PM I'VE BEEN THERE NINE YEARS.
8:26:16PM I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS GUY BEFORE.
8:26:21PM MY CONCERN IS, YES, WITH THE FLOODING.
8:26:23PM FLOODING HAS BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE THE LAST COUPLE, SEVERAL
8:26:27PM YEARS, ESPECIALLY, YES, WITH THE STORMS THAT JUST HAPPENED,
8:26:30PM BUT NORMAL RAINSTORM.
8:26:32PM I UNDERSTAND THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS BUT THERE
8:26:34PM IS A LOT MORE GOING ON OUR STREET AND ALSO OTHER THINGS
8:26:38PM AFFECTING IT, HENCE WHY I THINK THE FLOODING HAS GOTTEN
8:26:41PM WORSE.
8:26:41PM YES, ALSO PARKING I BELIEVE IS AN ISSUE.
8:26:44PM INSTEAD OF ONE FAMILY, YES, TWO THERE NOW AND ALSO TO STATE,
8:26:49PM YES, THERE ARE MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS IN THE AREA, BUT THEY
8:26:51PM HAVE ALSO BEEN THERE LONGER THAN I'VE BEEN ALIVE.
8:26:55PM JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE THERE DOESN'T MEAN WE SHOULD HAVE MORE
8:26:58PM OF THEM.
8:26:59PM THAT IS ALL.
8:27:00PM THANK YOU.
8:27:02PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU, SIR.
8:27:03PM YES, MA'AM, COME ON UP.
8:27:07PM >> I'VE GOTTEN A LITTLE TIRED SITTING THERE FOR THREE HOURS,
8:27:10PM BUT I'LL DO MY BEST.
8:27:12PM MY NAME IS SUSAN SOLOMON.
8:27:14PM I LIVE AT 118 SOUTH HALE AVENUE.
8:27:18PM SO MY QUESTION IS, WHAT IS THE COMPELLING REASON THAT WE

8:27:21PM NEED A DUPLEX?
8:27:23PM IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A RESIDENTIAL HOME THERE.
8:27:26PM IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL RESIDENTIAL HOME.
8:27:28PM I'VE LIVED THERE -- I'VE LIVED IN TAMPA SINCE '88.
8:27:31PM LIVED AT MY HOUSE FOR OVER 25 YEARS.
8:27:35PM BEAUTIFUL RESIDENTIAL HOME UNTIL HE PURCHASED IT.
8:27:38PM HE PURCHASED IT.
8:27:39PM HIS SISTER LIVED IN IT.
8:27:41PM BECAME DILAPIDATED SAYS HIS FATHER.
8:27:44PM THE ROOF WAS LEAKING.
8:27:46PM THEY MOVED OUT AND HIS FATHER SAID, WELL, WE JUST RAINED IT
8:27:50PM TO ANYBODY WE COULD FIND TO PAY THE RENT.
8:27:52PM THE HOUSE IS AWFUL.
8:27:54PM YARD IS NOT MOWED.
8:27:55PM WASHERS, DRYERS, MATTRESSES, TOILETS SITTING OUTSIDE THE
8:27:59PM PROPERTY.
8:28:00PM THIS IS NOT -- THIS TALK IS CHEAP.
8:28:03PM SO I DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING HE SAYS.
8:28:06PM HE COULD SHOW YOU ALL THE PICTURES IN THE WORLD.
8:28:08PM THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT'S WHAT HE'S GOING TO BUILD.
8:28:11PM I PASSED BY HIS HOUSE.
8:28:13PM IT WAS VERY NICE.
8:28:14PM DIDN'T LOOK LIKE ANYTHING HE OWNED AT MY HOUSE AND
8:28:17PM DISRESPECTED MY NEIGHBORHOOD THIS WAY.
8:28:19PM THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HAS COME A LONG WAY, YES, WE ARE RIGHT OFF

8:28:23PM OF KENNEDY BOULEVARD.
8:28:24PM YES, IT IS COMMERCIAL.
8:28:26PM BUT COMMERCIAL STOPS AT ONE POINT AND RESIDENTIAL STOPS AT
8:28:30PM ANOTHER.
8:28:30PM THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE NEED TO HAVE MORE COMING IN.
8:28:34PM SO I'M VERY UPSET WITH WHAT'S GOING ON.
8:28:38PM I JUST DON'T SEE A REASON TO HAVE A TWO-FAMILY HOME THERE.
8:28:42PM THE HOME NEXT TO HIM IS 5,000 SQUARE FEET.
8:28:46PM DUPLEXES THAT EVERYBODY HAS TALKED ABOUT, THE APARTMENTS
8:28:49PM NEXT DOOR, THEY HAVE BEEN THERE FOR DECADES.
8:28:52PM NOTHING NEW, AS FAR AS THE DUPLEX -- BUILT IN THE 25 YEARS
8:28:59PM I'VE BEEN AROUND.
8:29:00PM THE ONE ON HALE HAS BEEN THERE AND CONTINUES TO BE THERE.
8:29:03PM ALL THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN THERE CONTINUE TO BE THERE.
8:29:06PM THERE HAS NOT BEEN ONE RESIDENTIAL HOME TURNED INTO A
8:29:09PM DUPLEX.
8:29:10PM ALSO, I DO HAVE SIGNED PETITIONS FROM 12 OF MY NEIGHBORS.
8:29:19PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD AND GIVE THEM TO THE ATTORNEY
8:29:21PM AND HE'LL PASS THEM OUT.
8:29:28PM >> MY CLOSING ARGUMENT WOULD BE, I'VE BEEN THERE A LONG
8:29:31PM TIME.
8:29:31PM WE KNOW WHAT KENNEDY BOULEVARD USED TO LOOK LIKE.
8:29:35PM IT'S COME A LONG WAY.
8:29:37PM THERE ARE SOME NICE HOMES THERE.
8:29:39PM THERE'S NICE CHILDREN THAT PLAY THERE, AND WE'RE JUST NOT

8:29:43PM LOOKING FOR A DUPLEX BECAUSE LET'S FACE IT, A DUPLEX IS
8:29:46PM BASICALLY A STARTER HOME FOR YOUNG COUPLE, MEANING THAT IT
8:29:50PM WILL HAVE A BIG TURNOVER.
8:29:53PM IT'S REALLY NOT WHAT WE WANT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:29:55PM THANK YOU.
8:29:57PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
8:29:58PM YES, SIR, COME ON UP.
8:29:59PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
8:30:01PM >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.
8:30:02PM MY NAME IS EMRETT.
8:30:07PM WE ASK FOR SUPPORT OF THE DEVELOPMENT, PREVIOUS CONCERNS IN
8:30:11PM REGARDS TO DILAPIDATED PROPERTY.
8:30:13PM WE DO BELIEVE THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL HELP IN CHANGING THAT,
8:30:16PM REVERSING WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE PROPERTY AS I DO NOT
8:30:18PM BELIEVE IT IS IN A STATE THAT COULD BE REPAIRED OR BROUGHT
8:30:23PM TO A CONDITION WHILE MAINTAINING ORIGINALITY.
8:30:27PM AND WITH NEARBY PROPERTIES ALSO BEING DUPLEXES AS WELL,
8:30:31PM MULTIFAMILY RESIDENCES, WE DO BELIEVE THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT
8:30:35PM WILL MITIGATE SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP BY
8:30:38PM THE OPPOSING PARTIES, AND WE HOPE TO RECEIVE YOUR SUPPORT
8:30:43PM AND VOTE FOR THIS PROJECT.
8:30:45PM THANK YOU.
8:30:46PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SUPPORT.
8:30:47PM YES, SIR, COME ON UP.
8:30:49PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.

8:30:51PM >> MY NAME IS JOSEPH SEESAW.
8:30:53PM HERE TO SUPPORT THE REZONING AT 103 SOUTH HALE AVENUE.
8:30:56PM IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS PROJECT OFFERS MORE ACCESSIBLE AND
8:30:59PM AFFORDABLE OPTION FOR FAMILIES AND YOUNG PROFESSIONALS LIKE
8:31:02PM MYSELF TO LIVE IN A MODERN HOME IN SOUTH TAMPA.
8:31:04PM PERSONALLY, THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT -- SUPPORTING, I LOOK
8:31:08PM FORWARD TO TAMPA GROWING WITH MORE DEVELOPMENTS LIKE THIS.
8:31:11PM THAT'S ALL.
8:31:12PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
8:31:13PM ANYBODY ELSE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK?
8:31:15PM IF NOT, I'LL ASK FOR REBUTTAL FROM THE APPLICANT.
8:31:18PM SIR, YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES REBUTTAL TIME.
8:31:21PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AGAIN.
8:31:23PM >> CHRISTOPHER VALIENTE.
8:31:24PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR.
8:31:25PM GO AHEAD.
8:31:25PM >> I UNDERSTAND THEIR CONCERNS.
8:31:31PM I'VE ACTUALLY REACHED OUT TO DANIEL WHO LIVES RIGHT NEXT TO
8:31:34PM THE APARTMENT COMPLEX.
8:31:37PM I EVEN HAD DIALOGUE WITH HIM, IF HE HAD INPUT INTO THE
8:31:42PM DESIGN BEFORE I EVEN SUBMITTED THINGS.
8:31:45PM BUT HE HAS HIS OPINION.
8:31:47PM I ASKED HIM, FOUND OUT HE'S AN ARCHITECT.
8:31:50PM GREAT.
8:31:51PM I'M YOUR NEIGHBOR.

8:31:52PM DO YOU HAVE INPUT ON THIS DESIGN THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO?
8:31:55PM I DO COMMUNICATE WITH THE NEIGHBORS.
8:31:58PM COMMUNICATE WITH THE NEIGHBOR DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTH OF US,
8:32:02PM AND HE IS NEITHER AGAINST IT OR FOR IT.
8:32:05PM HE'S KIND OF NEUTRAL.
8:32:09PM BROUGHT UP A POINT THAT IT'S GOING TO BE A STARTER HOME OR
8:32:18PM SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
8:32:19PM YOU KNOW, WE TAKE PRIDE IN WHAT WE BUILD.
8:32:22PM I KNOW SHE HAS CONCERNS ABOUT THE RENTERS THAT THERE'S
8:32:29PM CURRENTLY.
8:32:30PM HE HAS MY INFORMATION AS WELL AS EVERYBODY ELSE.
8:32:32PM NOBODY HAS EVER REACHED OUT TO US ABOUT ANY CONCERNS ABOUT
8:32:36PM NOISE OR ANY KIND OF COMPLAINTS.
8:32:39PM THEY KNOW IT WAS BEING RENTED.
8:32:41PM THE HOME IS OUTDATED AND POORLY MAINTAINED.
8:32:47PM THE HOME IS OLD.
8:32:48PM WE'VE BEEN RENTING IT, EVEN WHEN MY FAMILY BOUGHT IT, IT HAD
8:32:52PM ISSUES, HAD LEAKS.
8:32:53PM MY SISTER LIVED THERE FOR A WHILE.
8:32:55PM THEN SHE -- BUILT A HOUSE FOR MY FAMILY.
8:32:59PM MOVED IN TOGETHER AND PLANNING A LONG-TERM VISION FOR THIS
8:33:02PM PROPERTY.
8:33:03PM IT'S HARD TO GET DECENT RENTERS THERE BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS
8:33:17PM TO LIVE IN A HOME THAT DOESN'T HAVE HURRICANE IMPACT WINDOWS
8:33:21PM --

8:33:22PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT, I DON'T LISTEN
8:33:25PM TO RENTERS.
8:33:26PM THIS IS ABOUT A ZONING.
8:33:29PM NOT THE RENTERS.
8:33:35PM I APPRECIATE THE LADY WHO SPOKE, IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT
8:33:38PM SITUATION.
8:33:38PM IT'S ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE.
8:33:40PM >> IT IS MY FIRST TIME HERE.
8:33:41PM I'M A NEIGHBOR.
8:33:44PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I UNDERSTAND YOUR ANXIETY.
8:33:46PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: CONTINUE, SIR.
8:33:49PM >> THAT PRETTY MUCH WRAPS IT UP.
8:33:52PM I'M SORRY.
8:33:53PM DON'T TAKE ANY MORE OF YOUR TIME.
8:33:55PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: CAN I GET A MOTION TO CLOSE?
8:33:57PM MOTION TO CLOSE FROM HENDERSON AND SECOND FROM CLENDENIN.
8:34:00PM ALL IN FAVOR?
8:34:01PM AYE.
8:34:01PM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA, YOU HAD --
8:34:04PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I WANT TO GO OVER A FEW LITTLE THINGS I
8:34:07PM WROTE DOWN.
8:34:08PM IN FACT, WHEN YOU LISTEN TO WHAT THE GENTLEMAN SAID FROM THE
8:34:12PM PLANNING COMMISSION, HE SAID THIS IS IN THE PERIPHERY OF AN
8:34:14PM ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:34:15PM THAT'S PART OF THE RECORD THAT WAS SAID ON YOUR BEHALF.

8:34:20PM KENNEDY IS CERTAINLY A COMMERCIAL AREA.
8:34:23PM THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT AT ALL.
8:34:25PM MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHEN YOU LOOK BACK, YOU LOOK AT WHAT IS ON
8:34:29PM THE BLOCK ON HALE AND WHEN YOU LOOK BACK AT THE ORIGINAL
8:34:32PM PICTURE THAT WE SAW WHEN THE PRESENTATION STARTED, ALL I SAW
8:34:35PM WAS ASPHALT ALL THROUGH HALE.
8:34:40PM THE NEXT THING I SEE IS FLOODING.
8:34:44PM I'M NOT TRYING TO IN ANY WAY DOWNGRADE YOUR PROJECT.
8:34:48PM YOUR PROJECT LOOKS VERY NICE AND VERY BEAUTIFUL.
8:34:51PM BUT THE ASPHALT THAT'S THERE NOW, AND WHAT'S COMING, YOU
8:34:56PM SEE, WHEN THE PLANNERS PLAN SOMETHING AND IT'S ON THE
8:34:59PM RECORD, THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
8:35:01PM THE ONLY PROBLEM IS, WE -- I SHOULD SAY I STARTING TO CHANGE
8:35:07PM A LOT WHEN YOU START LOOKING AT WHAT WE'VE DONE TO OURSELVES
8:35:13PM IN NATURE.
8:35:13PM THE BAY HAS BEEN FOR MONTHS NOW THREE DEGREES WARMER THAN IT
8:35:17PM WAS LAST YEAR.
8:35:18PM WHAT DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF SOMETHING COMES THIS
8:35:21PM WAY AGAIN?
8:35:22PM ALREADY FLOODED HERE ONCE.
8:35:27PM I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU.
8:35:29PM I'M TALKING TO MYSELF.
8:35:31PM WHAT DOES SELF THINK WILL HAPPEN?
8:35:33PM CAN I SOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH FLOODING?
8:35:35PM ABSOLUTELY NOT.

8:35:36PM WE'RE TRYING TO DO THE BEST WE CAN.
8:35:38PM WE HAVE CHANGED.
8:35:45PM ADMINISTRATION DONE WHAT THEY HAVE DONE BEFORE, NO, LIFTED
8:35:48PM PLANTS FROM BOTTOM, UNDERGROUND PUMPS, PUT THEM HIGH SO
8:35:52PM DON'T, CHECK ALL THE GENERATORS, MAKE SURE THEY ARE WORKING.
8:35:55PM I'M THINKING, WHERE DO I SAY I HAVE DONE ENOUGH FOR THE
8:36:05PM COMMUNITY TO MAKE SURE THESE THINGS DON'T HAPPEN AGAIN?
8:36:09PM I HAVE NOT.
8:36:10PM SOLAR IS COMING, WHETHER I LIKE IT OR NOT AND I HAVE SOLAR
8:36:14PM IN MY HOUSE.
8:36:16PM CAN'T CONTINUE TO DO WHAT WE'RE DOING.
8:36:18PM WE'RE BUILDING THE SAME HOUSES, THE SAME HOUSES ARE GOING
8:36:21PM UP, SAME ONES TORN DOWN.
8:36:24PM YOU CANNOT CONTINUE TO BUILD.
8:36:26PM I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOUR PROJECT.
8:36:28PM I'M TALKING TO MYSELF HERE BECAUSE I DO THAT A LOT.
8:36:31PM I CANNOT CONTINUE TO KEEP BUILDING HOUSES THAT FLOOD.
8:36:34PM I CANNOT CONTINUE TO BUILD HOUSES THAT DON'T HAVE DRYWALL.
8:36:38PM HOUSES THAT EAVES.
8:36:40PM CANNOT CONTINUE TO BUILD HOUSES THAT ARE NOT BUILT DOWN,
8:36:47PM SIX, EIGHT FEET DOWN LIKE LITTLE ISLANDS ALL OVER, BAHAMAS.
8:36:54PM IN THE CITIES, NOTHING GOES DOWN BECAUSE THE ROOF IS MADE
8:36:59PM OUT OF CONCRETE AND STEEL, EIGHT, NINE TEN FEET DOWN.
8:37:04PM ALL THE RAFTERS ARE DONE WITH STEEL AND NOTHING GOES DOWN.
8:37:08PM IF IT FLOODS A LITTLE BIT, THEY DON'T HAVE DRYWALL.

8:37:12PM IT'S CONCRETE, YOU PAINT IT.
8:37:14PM THAT'S IT.
8:37:14PM BUT WE'RE DOING TO OURSELVES, YOU CANNOT CONTINUE TO DO.
8:37:20PM I HEARD FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THIS IS IN THE
8:37:23PM PERIPHERY OF AN ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:37:25PM WHAT DOES THAT SAY?
8:37:26PM WHAT ABOUT THE ASPHALT THAT I SAW ALL OVER THE HOUSES.
8:37:32PM I'LL SHOW IT IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THEM.
8:37:36PM I'M JUST SAYING KENNEDY IS A MAIN FACTOR.
8:37:42PM NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.
8:37:43PM THAT'S BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME.
8:37:45PM THAT'S NOT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:37:46PM THAT FACES A COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR.
8:37:48PM THAT'S ALL.
8:37:48PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
8:37:49PM COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK.
8:37:54PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THE HEARING IS OVER SO WE ARE BASICALLY
8:37:56PM TALKING TO EACH OTHER.
8:37:57PM I WAS TELLING HIM.
8:37:59PM UNFORTUNATELY, A LOT OF THE STUFF THAT THE NEIGHBORS BROUGHT
8:38:04PM IS STUFF WE CANNOT CONSIDER.
8:38:06PM WE CAN'T CONSIDER A CODE VIOLATION.
8:38:12PM WE'RE ACTUALLY NOT ALLOWED TO CONSIDER FLOODING.
8:38:15PM BECAUSE THAT'S HANDLED AT PERMITTING.
8:38:17PM WE AREN'T LOOKING AT THAT TONIGHT.

8:38:19PM WE'RE LOOKING AT THE DESIGN IN THE PLAN AND THE REZONING
8:38:27PM DOESN'T FIT.
8:38:28PM WE AREN'T ALLOWED TO LOOK AT SEVERAL THINGS YOU BROUGHT
8:38:30PM FORWARD AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL KNEW THAT, THAT WE
8:38:33PM CAN'T CONSIDER THAT WHEN MAKING OUR DECISION.
8:38:36PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL?
8:38:37PM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, YOU WERE UP.
8:38:40PM WAS HE THE LAST?
8:38:49PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: [INAUDIBLE]
8:38:50PM >>LUIS VIERA: PASS.
8:38:50PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION?
8:39:04PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: BEFORE I READ THIS, FOR THE NEIGHBORS, I
8:39:06PM WANT TO REITERATE WHAT COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK SAID.
8:39:09PM WHEN WE ARE SITTING HERE AS A BODY, WE'RE LISTENING, OTHER
8:39:16PM TYPES OF HEARINGS, COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
8:39:19PM BUT WE'RE COMPARING THE INFORMATION SENT TO US BASED ON CODE
8:39:25PM AND THE LAW AND OUR LAND USE POLICIES.
8:39:28PM THOSE THINGS LIKE THE CODE ENFORCEMENT, THE FLOODING, ALL
8:39:31PM THOSE THINGS, IT REALLY IS -- SORRY, THE HEARING IS CLOSED.
8:39:36PM I UNDERSTAND YOUR ALL'S CONCERN.
8:39:45PM FROM WHAT WE HEARD THIS EVENING, AGAIN, WE TALK ABOUT THESE
8:39:48PM TYPE OF PROJECTS, KENNEDY IS A TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR.
8:39:51PM I GUARANTEE YOU IN THE NEXT 10, 15 YEARS, THAT ENTIRE AREA,
8:39:56PM YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF IMPACT.
8:39:59PM ANYBODY LIVING WITHIN A BLOCK OF KENNEDY BOULEVARD, YOU ARE

8:40:02PM GOING TO SEE A LOT MORE INTENSITY, A LOT MORE DENSITY, A LOT
8:40:05PM MORE REDEVELOPMENT.
8:40:06PM YOU TALK ABOUT THOSE AGING MULTIFAMILY PROJECTS, THEY ARE
8:40:08PM GOING TO GET REDEVELOPED INTO SOMETHING MUCH MORE INTENSE
8:40:11PM AND MUCH MORE DENSE BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING AT THESE WHOLE
8:40:16PM AREAS.
8:40:16PM AGAIN, THE CITY OF TAMPA IS CHANGING.
8:40:18PM WE'RE EVOLVING, WE'RE GROWING.
8:40:20PM I'M SHOCKED IT DIDN'T GO UP TO 35 FEET.
8:40:23PM NEVER SAW A PROJECT WHERE A DEVELOPER GOES DOWN WHAT YOU
8:40:26PM DID.
8:40:27PM I CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE ECONOMICS.
8:40:28PM HEY, THAT'S YOUR BUSINESS, NOT MEAN.
8:40:30PM I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FILE REZ 25-16, AN ORDINANCE BEING
8:40:36PM PRESENTED FOR FIRST READING CONSIDERATION, AN ORDINANCE
8:40:38PM REZONING PROPERTY IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF 103 SOUTH HALE
8:40:41PM AVENUE IN THE CITY OF TAMPA, FLORIDA AND MORE PARTICULARLY
8:40:43PM DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1 FROM ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION
8:40:46PM RS 60, RESIDENTIAL, SINGLE-FAMILY, TO PD, PLANNED
8:40:49PM DEVELOPMENT, RESIDENTIAL, SINGLE-FAMILY, SEMI DETACHED,
8:40:51PM PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
8:40:52PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
8:40:54PM ROLL CALL VOTE.
8:40:57PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I'LL EXPLAIN MY VOTE AS WELL.
8:40:59PM I'M GOING TO AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.

8:41:01PM I DON'T KNOW THAT I WOULD GO AS FAR AS TO SAY THE WHOLE
8:41:05PM BLOCK IS, BUT THIS IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT WITH THE NEW
8:41:08PM LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AND NEW OVERLAYS.
8:41:11PM WE ARE LOOKING AT GOING FROM HIGH INTENSITY COMMERCIAL TO
8:41:16PM GRADUATING DOWN TO SINGLE-FAMILY.
8:41:18PM SO THIS IS WHAT WE SEE IN A LOT OF THE REST OF THE CITY.
8:41:22PM SO THIS SHOULDN'T BE A SUPER SURPRISE.
8:41:24PM AGAIN, I'M KIND OF WITH HIM.
8:41:26PM I'M SURPRISED THAT THEY DIDN'T MAXIMIZE THE BUILDING
8:41:30PM FOOTPRINT.
8:41:30PM THAT'S VERY UNUSUAL.
8:41:32PM NORMALLY THESE PROJECTS COME TO US AND THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY
8:41:35PM AS HIGH AND AS WIDE AS THEY CAN BE.
8:41:37PM SO I WILL SUPPORT THIS PROJECT AS WELL.
8:41:41PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR.
8:41:42PM >>BILL CARLSON: AT LEAST ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS TESTIFIED THIS
8:41:48PM IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE BUILD-OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:41:50PM I USED TO LIVE NEARBY HERE, BUT I CAN'T PRESENT THAT AS
8:41:56PM TESTIMONY.
8:41:56PM BUT JUST BASED ON WHAT THEY SAID, YOU CAN'T THINK OF THIS AS
8:42:01PM A NORMAL TRANSITION BECAUSE THIS IS A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE, AS
8:42:07PM SHE SAID, ALL SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
8:42:09PM I'M NOT GOING TO PUT EVIDENCE INTO THE RECORD.
8:42:12PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ROLL CALL VOTE.
8:42:14PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YES.

8:42:14PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: YES.
8:42:18PM >> I'M SORRY.
8:42:19PM IT'S CLENDENIN NEXT.
8:42:19PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YES.
8:42:24PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: YES.
8:42:25PM >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
8:42:25PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NO.
8:42:29PM >>BILL CARLSON: NO.
8:42:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
8:42:32PM >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED WITH MIRANDA AND CARLSON VOTING
8:42:35PM NO.
8:42:36PM SECOND READING AND ADOPTION WILL BE HELD ON MAY 1st, 2025,
8:42:40PM AT 10 A.M. AT OLD CITY HALL LOCATED AT 315 EAST KENNEDY
8:42:43PM BOULEVARD, THIRD FLOOR, TAMPA, FLORIDA, 33602.
8:42:48PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A TEN-MINUTE RECESS.
8:42:51PM THANK YOU.
8:42:51PM [ SOUNDING GAVEL ]
8:42:52PM [RECESS]
9:02:33PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IF WE COULD HAVE ROLL CALL, PLEASE.
9:02:35PM >>BILL CARLSON: HERE.
9:02:36PM >>LYNN HURTAK: HERE.
9:02:37PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: HERE.
9:02:37PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: PRESENT.
9:02:38PM >>LUIS VIERA: HERE.
9:02:40PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: HERE.

9:02:41PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HERE.
9:02:41PM >>THE CLERK: WE HAVE A PHYSICAL QUORUM.
9:02:45PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:02:45PM DID ANYBODY NEW COME IN THAT HAS NOT BEEN SWORN IN YET?
9:02:48PM PLEASE STAND IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEAK AND YOU HAVEN'T BEEN
9:02:56PM SWORN IN YET.
9:02:59PM [OATH ADMINISTERED]
9:03:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GREAT.
9:03:05PM WE'RE GOING TO START WITH ITEM NUMBER 10.
9:03:07PM GO AHEAD, SIR.
9:03:09PM >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
9:03:10PM CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
9:03:12PM AGENDA ITEM 10 IS REZ 25-18.
9:03:15PM THIS IS A REQUEST TO REZONE 2315 WEST SPRUCE STREET FROM
9:03:20PM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL
9:03:22PM SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED USES.
9:03:24PM WE'LL START WITH AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
9:03:26PM SUBJECT PROPERTY IS OUTLINED IN RED.
9:03:28PM IT IS LOCATED ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF WEST SPRUCE STREET.
9:03:31PM SUBJECT BLOCK IS LOCATED BETWEEN NATURAL ARMENIA AVENUE AND
9:03:35PM NORTH HOWARD AVENUE.
9:03:36PM THE CURRENT PD ZONING FOR THE SUBJECT SITE IS APPROVED FOR
9:03:40PM RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED USES AND WAS PART OF THE
9:03:42PM WEST TAMPA REDEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE, WHICH WAS AN INFILL
9:03:45PM PROJECT INVOLVING OVER 70 PARCELS.

9:03:48PM YOU'LL SEE THERE'S A LOT OF SITES ZONED PD.
9:03:53PM I WOULD SAY MOST, IF NOT ALL OF THOSE PD SMALL SITES WERE
9:03:57PM PART OF THAT REDEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE, THAT LARGE SCALE
9:04:03PM REZONING.
9:04:04PM IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES COMPRISED OF VACANT
9:04:08PM PARCELS.
9:04:10PM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE LOCATED EAST OF
9:04:12PM THE SUBJECT SITE ALONG NORTH HOWARD AVENUE AND COMPRISED OF
9:04:17PM RESIDENTIAL OFFICE AND RETAIL USES.
9:04:18PM NEXT WE HAVE THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.
9:04:37PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPED WITH A SINGLE-FAMILY
9:04:39PM DETACHED DWELLING WITH THE APPLICANT PROPOSING THE
9:04:42PM CONSTRUCTION OF TWO SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED DWELLINGS
9:04:45PM TOTALING 2,478 SQUARE FEET EACH.
9:04:47PM THE EXISTING SITE WOULD BE SPLIT CREATING AN INDIVIDUAL LOT
9:04:50PM FOR EACH DWELLING.
9:04:51PM THE PROPOSED SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLINGS HAVE FRONT DOOR
9:04:56PM ORIENTED TOWARD WEST SPRUCE STREET.
9:04:58PM ALSO PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY PROVIDED THROUGH PROPOSED
9:05:02PM SIDEWALKS, WHICH WOULD CONNECT TO AN EXISTING SIDEWALK

9:08:13PM THE REQUEST SUPPORTS POLICIES THAT ENCOURAGE INFILL

9:08:17PM DEVELOPMENT ON VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED PARCELS.
9:08:19PM THE SITE WOULD BE DEVELOPED AT 20 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE
9:08:22PM WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE R
9:08:24PM 35 DESIGNATION.
9:08:25PM THE PD WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE GROWTH OF THE HOUSING WITHIN

9:08:32PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DIRECTS THE GREATEST SHARE OF GROWTH
9:08:34PM TO THE CITY'S URBAN VILLAGES.
9:08:36PM THE REQUEST FURTHER SUPPORTS POLICIES AIMED AT INCREASING
9:08:39PM HOUSING AVAILABILITY AT DENSITIES THAT PROMOTE WALKING AND
9:08:42PM TRANSIT USE, PARTICULARLY IN AREAS NEAR EMPLOYMENT HUBS,
9:08:45PM RESIDENTIAL SERVICES AND AMENITIES, ALONG NORTH HOWARD

9:08:54PM MOREOVER, THE REQUEST IS FOUND TO BE CONSISTENT AND
9:08:56PM COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA WHICH CONTAINS A MIX OF
9:08:59PM HOUSING TYPES.
9:09:02PM STAFF CONCLUDES THAT THE PROPOSAL WILL NOT NEGATIVELY IMPACT
9:09:04PM THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IS IN KEEPING WITH THE
9:09:06PM ANTICIPATED DEVELOPMENT PATTERN UNDER THE R-35 DESIGNATION.
9:09:11PM BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
9:09:13PM FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA
9:09:16PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
9:09:17PM THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
9:09:18PM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

9:09:20PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU, SIR.
9:09:21PM ANY QUESTIONS?

9:09:26PM >> FRED HENRY.
9:09:27PM I'VE BEEN SWORN.
9:09:28PM I'M WITH DOMAIN HOMES.
9:09:32PM THANK YOU.
9:09:32PM STAFF DID A GREAT JOB HELPING WITH THIS PROJECT.
9:09:36PM IF I CAN ADD A LITTLE BIT TO IT.
9:09:39PM I'VE GOT A SITE PLAN NOT QUITE AS LARGE AS WHAT CHRIS HAD
9:09:45PM THERE.
9:09:45PM TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON THERE.
9:09:47PM TWO HOUSES.
9:09:48PM WE ARE, AS YOU'LL SEE IN THE BACK -- OH, THANK YOU.
9:09:53PM THAT'S EVEN BETTER.
9:09:54PM WE'RE GOING TO BE PAVING THE ALLEY UP TO THE EDGE AS
9:09:58PM REQUIRED.
9:10:00PM KIND OF OVERGROWN BACK THERE.
9:10:01PM SO WE'RE IMPROVING THAT UP TO THE EDGE.
9:10:04PM THAT WILL MAKE A LITTLE NICER INGRESS AND EGRESS.
9:10:07PM SOMETHING ELSE TO POINT OUT, I THINK A NEAT NUANCE, THE
9:10:11PM EXISTING DRIVEWAY CURB YOU SAW IN THE PICTURE, WE REMOVED
9:10:14PM THOSE AND RESTORED THE GRANITE CURB, BRING IT BACK UP AND
9:10:18PM RESTORE THE RIGHT-OF-WAY SO IT BRINGS THE CHARACTER BACK AND

9:10:20PM VERNACULAR OF THE AREA.
9:10:22PM OBVIOUSLY, I KNOW A REQUEST FOR A WAIVER, I'M BACKING UP,
9:10:26PM THAT'S DUE TO THE TWO PARKING SPOTS THAT'S NEEDED IN THE
9:10:30PM BACKUP DISTANCE THAT THE SECOND CAR WOULD NEED TO NAVIGATE
9:10:36PM THAT.
9:10:36PM BUT BASICALLY, PUTTING A COUPLE OF HOUSES BACK IN THERE,
9:10:42PM YEAH, INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

9:13:13PM AVENUE.
9:13:22PM THE REZONING WAS APPROVED IN FEBRUARY 2023, CREATING TWO

9:13:32PM NEXT, A SURVEY OF THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN YELLOW.
9:13:36PM OVER A HUNDRED FEET OF STREET FRONTAGE ALONG NORTH
9:13:39PM ORANGEVIEW AVENUE.
9:13:40PM THE TOTAL SITE AREA IS 10,900 SQUARE FEET.
9:13:46PM SINCE THIS IS A EUCLIDEAN REZONING, THERE IS NO SITE PLAN OR
9:13:51PM ELEVATION, SO I DO HAVE SOME PHOTOS TO SHOW.

9:17:12PM WHILE THERE ARE A VARIETY OF LOT SIZES WITHIN THE VICINITY
9:17:15PM OF THE SUBJECT SITE, STAFF FINDS THE PROPOSED REQUEST TO BE
9:17:18PM INCONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE
9:17:21PM OVERALL STUDY AREA.
9:17:22PM DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION AND COMPLIANCE STAFF HAVE REVIEWED
9:17:25PM THE APPLICATION.
9:17:26PM WE FIND THE REQUEST TO BE INCONSISTENT WITH THE LAND

9:17:28PM DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.
9:17:29PM I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
9:17:31PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
9:17:32PM MR. COLLINS.
9:17:40PM >>DANNY COLLINS: DANNY COLLINS WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION
9:17:42PM STAFF.
9:17:42PM I WAS SWORN IN.
9:17:43PM THIS CASE IS IN THE UNIVERSITY PLANNING DISTRICT.
9:17:47PM IT'S WITHIN THE TEMPLE CREST NEIGHBORHOOD.
9:17:50PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS NOT IN AN EVACUATION ZONE.
9:17:53PM THE SITE IS DESIGNATED AS R-10 WHICH SURROUNDS SUBJECT SITE
9:17:58PM ON ALL SIDES.
9:18:00PM INTERIOR OF R-10 NEIGHBORHOOD.
9:18:02PM THE PROPOSED RS 50 ZONING DISTRICT CAN BE CONSIDERED IN THE
9:18:06PM R-10 DESIGNATION.
9:18:08PM THE REZONING WILL ALLOW CONSIDERATION OF TWO SINGLE-FAMILY
9:18:12PM -- ZONING LOTS DENSITY OF 4.59 UNITS PER ACRE.
9:18:15PM ON THE SUBJECT SITE, AREA PLANNED FOR 10 DWELLING UNITS PER
9:18:19PM ACRE.
9:18:20PM GIVEN THE PRESENCE OF SINGLE-FAMILY USES IN THE SURROUNDING
9:18:22PM AREA AND THE PROPOSED DENSITY THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED THROUGH
9:18:25PM THIS REZONING, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FINDS THAT THE
9:18:28PM REQUEST WILL NOT ALTER THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND
9:18:30PM THE REQUEST IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT
9:18:34PM PATTERN.

9:18:34PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF
9:18:37PM PRESERVING SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS AND ENCOURAGES
9:18:39PM COMPATIBLE REDEVELOPMENT TO SUPPORT THE CITY'S ECONOMIC
9:18:42PM HEALTH AND ACCOMMODATE ITS GROWING POPULATION.
9:18:46PM APPROVAL OF THIS REZONING WOULD ENABLE THE DEVELOPMENT OF
9:18:48PM ADDITIONAL INFILL HOUSING ON UNDERUTILIZED PARCEL IN THE
9:18:52PM UNIVERSITY PLANNING DISTRICT.
9:18:53PM IN CONCLUSION, THE STAFF FINDS THE PROPOSAL WILL NOT
9:18:58PM NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD AND
9:19:00PM CONSISTENT WITH DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ANTICIPATED UNDER R-10
9:19:02PM DESIGNATION.
9:19:03PM BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
9:19:05PM FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA
9:19:07PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

9:26:54PM STOP IS NOW.
9:26:55PM THAT'S PROPOSED TO BE UPGRADED.
9:26:57PM MOVING FURTHER SOUTH, END OF THE SUBJECT SITE RIGHT HERE.
9:26:59PM YOU CAN SEE THE TRANSITION TO THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOME STARTS

9:27:02PM SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
9:27:03PM NOW WE'RE LOOKING BACK NORTH, SUBJECT SITE IS ROUGHLY ABOUT
9:27:08PM WHERE THAT TREE IS.
9:27:10PM MOVED WELL SOUTH OF IT BUT WANTED TO LOOP BACK DOWN TO WHERE
9:27:13PM THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES SOUTH OF THAT ON UNION STREET TO
9:27:17PM KIND OF SHOW THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN SOUTH OF IT.
9:27:19PM YOU CAN SEE WAY IN THE DISTANCE THE PARKING GARAGE THAT IS
9:27:22PM PART OF THE PD WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
9:27:24PM NOW WE'RE LOOKING BACK TO THE EAST TO LOIS AVENUE AT THE
9:27:28PM MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT ALREADY APPROVED ACROSS THE STREET
9:27:31PM AND DEVELOPED.
9:27:32PM AND THEN NOW WE MOVED BACK WEST, SO THE SUBJECT SITE WOULD
9:27:35PM BE ROUGHLY RIGHT HERE.
9:27:37PM THIS IS THE PARKING GARAGE FOR THE MULTIFAMILY THAT ALREADY
9:27:40PM EXISTS.
9:27:40PM NOW WE WORKED OUR WAY BACK INTERNAL.
9:27:44PM I WANT TO SHOW A FEW PICTURES INTERNAL TO THE SITE.
9:27:48PM BACK WHERE THE SUBJECT SITE MEETS UP TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
9:27:51PM KIND OF SEE THE WALL THAT EXISTS THERE NOW.
9:27:54PM AND THEN THIS IS THE STORMWATER POND THAT SEPARATES THE
9:28:00PM EXISTING DEVELOPMENT AND SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
9:28:02PM GO BACK TO THE SITE PLAN NOW.
9:28:10PM I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A
9:28:14PM 10-FOOT MASONRY WALL ALONG THE SOUTHERN PROPERTY LINE.
9:28:19PM I WANTED TO CALL THAT OUT.

9:28:21PM DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION AND COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE
9:28:25PM APPLICATION AND FIND THE REQUEST TO BE CONSISTENT.
9:28:27PM SHOULD IT BE THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE
9:28:29PM APPLICATION AND THE WAIVERS ASSOCIATED, MODIFICATIONS TO THE
9:28:33PM SITE PLAN AS SHOWN ON THE REVISED REVISION SHEET MUST BE
9:28:36PM COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
9:28:38PM I'M AVAILABLE IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS.
9:28:40PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YOU MENTIONED AT THE BEGINNING THAT IT
9:28:41PM IS CURRENTLY ZONED.
9:28:43PM I SEE PD AND RS 50 BUT CURRENTLY ZONED FOR VOCATIONAL.
9:28:48PM OKAY.
9:28:48PM WHAT WOULD THAT MEAN?
9:28:53PM A SCHOOL?
9:28:55PM WOULD IT BE MANUFACTURING?
9:28:56PM WOULD IT BE ANYTHING -- LIKE WHAT IS THE BIGGEST SCALE THAT
9:28:59PM COULD GO ON THERE?
9:29:01PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: WHEN IT COMES TO THE SCHOOL, IT EXISTS AS A
9:29:03PM SCHOOL TODAY.
9:29:04PM I THINK IT'S A MEDICAL COLLEGE OF SOME SORT WHEN IT COMES TO
9:29:08PM THE BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL OFFICE THAT'S APPROVED ON THERE, I
9:29:10PM BELIEVE APPROVED FOR A MAXIMUM OF 133,000 SQUARE FEET.
9:29:14PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHAT WAS THE SQUARE FOOTAGE ON THIS
9:29:16PM PROPOSAL?
9:29:17PM >> THIS PROPOSAL, THE SQUARE FOOTAGE PROPOSED TO BE 365,000
9:29:20PM SQUARE FEET.

9:29:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH YES, SIR.
9:29:23PM COME ON UP.
9:29:23PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
9:29:29PM >>DANNY COLLINS: DANNY COLLINS WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION
9:29:31PM STAFF.
9:29:31PM I WAS SWORN IN.
9:29:34PM OUR LAST CASE IS IN THE WESTSHORE PLANNING DISTRICT AND
9:29:37PM SPECIFICALLY IT'S IN THE CARVER CITY LINCOLN GARDENS
9:29:39PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
9:29:40PM THE SITE IS IN EVACUATION ZONE C.
9:29:42PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS WITHIN THE RMU 100 FUTURE LAND USE
9:29:46PM DESIGNATION.
9:29:49PM YOU CAN SEE THE RMU 100 IS PREDOMINANTLY FOUND ALONG WEST
9:29:53PM SPRUCE STREET AS WELL AS ON THE EAST SIDE OF NORTH LOIS
9:29:55PM AVENUE.
9:29:56PM THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE TRANSITION FROM THE RMU 100 TO THE
9:30:01PM RESIDENTIAL 10 TO THE SOUTH AS YOU MOVE OFF SPRUCE STREET.
9:30:05PM THE RMU 100 IS THE SECOND HIGHEST INTENSITY LAND USE
9:30:12PM CATEGORY IN THE CITY, SECOND TO ONLY THE CBD, CENTRAL
9:30:16PM BUSINESS DISTRICT ZONING DISTRICT.
9:30:18PM THE REQUEST PROPOSES 313 MULTIFAMILY UNITS WITH A DENSITY OF
9:30:23PM 94 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE AND A 2.62 F.A.R.
9:30:28PM THE PROPOSED DENSITY IS WELL BELOW THE ANTICIPATED DENSITY
9:30:31PM UNDER THE RMU 100 DESIGNATION, WHICH IS A 3.5.
9:30:35PM THE PROPOSAL HAS DEMONSTRATED COMPATIBILITY WITH THE R-10

9:30:38PM NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE SOUTH TO ENSURE SENSITIVITY TO THESE
9:30:43PM HOMES, THE MULTIFAMILY BUILDING STEPS DOWN FROM SEVEN
9:30:46PM STORIES ALONG WEST SPRUCE STREET TO FIVE STORIES ALONG THE
9:30:50PM SOUTHERN FACADE.
9:30:52PM THE HEIGHT TRANSITIONS IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE ADJACENT FIVE
9:30:56PM STORY -- SORRY.
9:30:57PM THE HEIGHT IS COMPARABLE TO THE ADJACENT FIVE-STORY BUILDING
9:31:02PM TO THE WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE, 4210 WEST SPRUCE STREET,
9:31:05PM WHICH WAS APPROVED UNDER REZONING 12-23.
9:31:09PM THAT BUILDING IS APPROXIMATELY -- WAS APPROVED UP TO 64
9:31:14PM FEET.
9:31:15PM ADDITIONALLY, THE DEVELOPMENT INCLUDES A 10-FOOT CONCRETE
9:31:19PM WALL AND 15-FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER TO SEPARATE THE
9:31:22PM MULTIFAMILY BUILDING FROM THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
9:31:26PM TO THE SOUTH, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUPPORTS SUCH HEIGHT
9:31:29PM TRANSITIONS WITHIN MIXED USE CENTERS AND CORRIDORS,
9:31:32PM SPECIFICALLY IN AREAS OF HIGH AND LOW INTENSITY AREAS.
9:31:36PM THE PLAN ALSO EMPHASIZES PEDESTRIAN SAFETY AND ENCOURAGES
9:31:40PM DEVELOPMENT THAT ENHANCES THE CHARACTER AND AMBIENCE OF THE
9:31:43PM CITY OF TAMPA, PARTICULARLY WITHIN THE MIXED USE CENTERS AND
9:31:46PM CORRIDORS.
9:31:46PM IT ENCOURAGES CONNECTING BUILDING ENTRANCES TO PUBLIC
9:31:49PM RIGHTS-OF-WAY AND INCORPORATING SIDEWALKS IN FEASIBLE AREAS
9:31:53PM TO PROMOTE PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT.
9:31:55PM THE PD INCLUDES SIDEWALKS ALONG WEST SPRUCE STREET AND NORTH

9:31:58PM LOIS AVENUE.
9:32:00PM PROVIDING DIRECT ACCESS TO WALK-UP UNITS.
9:32:04PM PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS ALSO PROVIDED ALONG THE REAR OF THE
9:32:06PM BUILDING ALONG THE DRIVE AISLE.
9:32:08PM ADDITIONALLY, HART BUS PAD AND SHELTER IS PROPOSED ALONG
9:32:13PM NORTH LOIS AVENUE TO ENCOURAGE TRANSIT USE, WHICH IS
9:32:16PM SUPPORTED BY THE PLAN.
9:32:17PM THE BUILDING IS PLACED CLOSE TO THE PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY
9:32:20PM WITH PARKING ACCESS AT THE REAR OF THE SITE ALSO SUPPORTED
9:32:26PM BY THE PLAN 6.1.5.
9:32:28PM PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS DETERMINED THAT THE PROPOSAL
9:32:31PM HAS ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED THE MIXED USE CENTERS AND CORRIDOR
9:32:35PM DESIGN POLICIES IN THE PLAN AND HAS ALSO ADDRESSED POLICIES
9:32:39PM RELATED TO PEDESTRIAN SAFETY.
9:32:41PM FINALLY, THE REQUEST ALIGNS WITH THE CITY'S GROWTH AND
9:32:45PM HOUSING STRATEGIES.
9:32:47PM BECAUSE IT WILL ADD ADDITIONAL HOUSING IN THE WESTSHORE
9:32:49PM EMPLOYMENT CENTER, WESTSHORE EMPLOYMENT CENTER IS AN AREA
9:32:53PM WHERE THE PLAN DIRECTS THE GREATEST SHARE OF GROWTH.
9:32:56PM BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
9:32:58PM FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA
9:33:00PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
9:33:01PM AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
9:33:03PM I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
9:33:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?

9:33:05PM NO.
9:33:07PM MR. HUDSON.
9:33:08PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
9:33:14PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
9:33:15PM GOOD NIGHT.
9:33:16PM MY NAME IS TYLER HUDSON.
9:33:18PM 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
9:33:20PM I WOULD ASK, WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR MORE THAN 20 MINUTES, IF
9:33:24PM WE DON'T USE ALL OUR CASE IN CHIEF TIME, I WOULD ASK TO USE
9:33:27PM SOME OF THAT IN THE REBUTTAL IF THAT'S POSSIBLE.
9:33:29PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE WOULD ONLY ALLOW 15 MINUTES AND FIVE
9:33:34PM MINUTE REBUTTAL.
9:33:35PM >> IF I DON'T USE ALL 15, WOULD LIKE TO USE IT IN THE
9:33:39PM REBUTTAL.
9:33:39PM I'M ON THE CLOCK.
9:33:41PM I'LL GO.
9:33:41PM TYLER HUDSON.
9:33:43PM 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
9:33:44PM PROUD TO BE HERE ON BEHALF OF PARADISE VENTURES.
9:33:52PM CHRIS MY COLLEAGUE, ALEX SCHALER AND I WILL BE GIVING THE
9:33:55PM PRESENTATION.
9:33:56PM ARCHITECT COULD NOT BE HERE THIS EVENING DUE TO MEDICAL
9:34:01PM EMERGENCY.
9:34:01PM DARK MOSS IS PROJECT ARBORIST.
9:34:03PM AND STEVE HENRY WITH LINCKS & ASSOCIATES IS THE TRAFFIC

9:34:07PM CONSULTANT.
9:34:07PM I WANT TO ADD A COUPLE OF POINTS OF EMPHASIS BEFORE TURNING
9:34:13PM THINGS OVER TO ALEX.
9:34:14PM YOU SEE THE FAMILIAR MAP SEEN PREVIOUSLY.
9:34:20PM LARGE SCALE, MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS APPROVED IN
9:34:23PM THIS AREA.
9:34:24PM CARVER CITY, LINCOLN GARDENS NEIGHBORHOOD, SPECIFICALLY
9:34:27PM CARVER CITY BEYOND THE WEST SIDE OF SPRUCE THERE.
9:34:30PM MOST RECENTLY THIS COUNCIL APPROVED A PROJECT AT THE
9:34:33PM NORTHEAST CORNER OF SPRUCE AND LOIS.
9:34:35PM BUT THIS IS IN THE BROADER WESTSHORE AREA.
9:34:38PM CARVER CITY, LINCOLN GARDENS NEIGHBORHOOD, AS YOU'LL NOTE AT
9:34:42PM THE INTERSECTION AND THE PERIPHERY AROUND THIS INTERSECTION,
9:34:44PM THIS IS AN AREA WHERE FOR 12, 15, GOING ON 20 YEARS, THERE
9:34:49PM HAS BEEN A DEVELOPMENT OF LARGE SCALE APARTMENT PROJECTS.
9:34:52PM THAT'S BECAUSE THE WESTSHORE BUSINESS DISTRICT IS THE
9:34:55PM LARGEST EMPLOYMENT CENTER, LARGEST BUSINESS DISTRICT IN THE
9:34:58PM STATE OF FLORIDA.
9:34:58PM NEAR THE AIRPORT, NEAR THE BRIDGES.
9:35:01PM THIS IS AN AREA OF REGIONAL SIGNIFICANCE.
9:35:03PM GOOD SEGUE TO REMEMBER THIS IS REGIONAL MIXED USE 100.
9:35:07PM THIS IS THE MOST DENSE AREA IN THE ENTIRE CITY OF TAMPA
9:35:11PM OUTSIDE DOWNTOWN.
9:35:12PM CHANNEL DISTRICT, THE CORE OF WESTSHORE MALL, PLACES LIKE
9:35:15PM THAT.

9:35:16PM THERE ARE SOME PARCELS LIKE THIS.
9:35:17PM I KIND OF REFER TO THEM AS BOOK ENDS WHERE YOU HAVE THE MOST
9:35:21PM DENSE CATEGORY IN THE CITY RIGHT NEXT TO THE LEAST DENSE
9:35:24PM CATEGORY IN THE CITY.
9:35:25PM THAT CREATES SOME COMPATIBILITY CHALLENGES THAT WE HAVE BEEN
9:35:29PM MINDFUL ABOUT IN THIS PROJECT SINCE DAY ONE.
9:35:32PM THE PROJECT THAT IF I GO BACK TO THESE, THE PROJECT YOU CAN
9:35:36PM SEE IN THE YELLOW OUTLINE.
9:35:37PM GREEN STAR TO THE LEFT.
9:35:38PM THAT PROJECT HAD THE EXACT SAME SITUATION.
9:35:41PM IT'S CALLED NOVUS WESTSHORE.
9:35:43PM RMU 100 ABUTTING R-10.
9:35:46PM WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT, IF YOU ARE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE
9:35:50PM SITE LOOKING TO THE WEST, TO THE SUNSET, THE WATER, THIS IS
9:35:54PM WHAT THE BUILDING WOULD LOOK LIKE WITH SOME OF THE CARTOON
9:35:57PM IMAGERY.
9:35:57PM THE FACE OF THE BUILDING IS SET BACK 40 FEET.
9:36:00PM CODE REQUIRES 15.
9:36:04PM SO BY CODE, YOU CAN PUT A BUILDING 35 FEET TALL, JUST 15
9:36:10PM FEET FROM THAT PROPERTY LINE.
9:36:11PM WE PROPOSE TO ALMOST TRIPLE THAT AT 40 FEET.
9:36:14PM WITHIN THAT 40-FOOT BUFFER AS SAM ALLUDED TO IS A 10-FOOT
9:36:19PM MASONRY WALL INCREASED FROM 6 FEET AT THE REQUEST OF THE
9:36:22PM NEIGHBORHOOD ALONG WITH 15-FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER OF TYPE ONE
9:36:26PM TREES.

9:36:26PM THE LARGEST AVAILABLE TREES IN COMMERCIAL NURSERIES.
9:36:30PM 18 FEET TALL AT PLANTING.
9:36:34PM THAT'S THE PROPERTY LINE.
9:36:35PM NOW, IT'S WORTH NOTING FROM THE PROPERTY LINE TO THE HOMES
9:36:38PM THAT ARE ON UNION, AND YOU'LL HEAR FROM SOME OF THE FOLKS ON
9:36:41PM UNION WHO HAVE GENUINE CONCERNS ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT, THEIR
9:36:44PM HOMES ARE ANOTHER 30 FEET OR SO SET BACK FROM THE PROPERTY
9:36:48PM LINE.
9:36:48PM I DIDN'T GO IN THE BACKYARDS AND MEASURE.
9:36:51PM THIS IS GOOGLE EARTH.
9:36:52PM AVERAGING OF 25 TO 30 FEET OF SETBACK.
9:36:57PM FUNCTIONALLY, 70 FEET OF SETBACK BETWEEN SOMEONE WALKING OUT
9:37:00PM THEIR BACK PORCH AND EVEN SEEING A BUILDING.
9:37:03PM I'LL TALK QUICKLY.
9:37:08PM ONLY TWO OF THESE MATTER.
9:37:11PM ACCESS.
9:37:12PM WALK-UP UNITS ON DIFFERENT PROJECTS.
9:37:15PM SOUTHERN FACE OF THE BUILDING TO ADDRESS CONCERNS ABOUT
9:37:18PM PRIVACY, NO BALCONIES.
9:37:19PM THERE WILL NOT BE A SINGLE BALCONY ON THE SOUTHERN FACE.
9:37:25PM THE DRIVE AISLE SHOWN HERE, 15 FEET IN FROM THE PROPERTY
9:37:29PM LINE, THAT'S WHAT THE CURRENT PD ALLOWS.
9:37:33PM CURRENT DRIVE AISLE ACTUALLY THERE FOR CONCORD COLLEGE IS A
9:37:39PM LITTLE NORTH.
9:37:40PM THE EXISTING PD THAT ONE COULD PULL PERMITS SHOWS 15-FOOT

9:37:44PM BUFFER FOR THAT DRIVE AISLE.
9:37:46PM RIGHT NOW THERE ARE CARS THAT PARK FIVE FEET AWAY FROM THAT
9:37:50PM PROPERTY LINE.
9:37:51PM WITH THAT, I'LL ASK ALEX TO TALK THROUGH THE WAIVERS BEFORE
9:37:54PM WE HAVE CHRIS TALK ABOUT HIS BACKGROUND IN THE COMMUNITY
9:37:57PM OUTREACH.
9:37:58PM THANKS.
9:38:02PM >> ALEX SCHALER, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
9:38:06PM I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
9:38:07PM AS WITH MOST PROJECTS WE BRING BEFORE YOU IN THE WESTSHORE
9:38:10PM OVERLAY DISTRICT, THAT IS A VERY DESIGN INTENSIVE DISTRICT.
9:38:14PM WE HAVE A SMALL COLLECTION OF WAIVERS THAT WE'RE REQUESTING.
9:38:16PM THE FIRST IS A LOADING WAIVER.
9:38:18PM THIS IS NO NET REDUCTION.
9:38:20PM PROVIDING TWO 12 BY 30s IN LIEU OF SINGLE 12 BY 60.
9:38:25PM WITH THE MULTIFAMILY COMPLEXES, THIS LOADING IS BEING USED
9:38:29PM TO MOVE IN, MOVE OUT.
9:38:35PM PEOPLE ARE USING A BOX TRUCK.
9:38:36PM THE NEXT SET OF WAIVERS ARE TREES.
9:38:38PM I MENTIONED THIS WHEN WE WERE HERE FOR THE SITE ACROSS THE
9:38:42PM INTERSECTION.
9:38:42PM THE WESTSHORE OVERLAY DISTRICT SPECIFICALLY REQUIRES BOSQUE
9:38:46PM ELMS OF A CERTAIN TREE SPECIES.
9:38:50PM IN DISCUSSION WITH NATURAL RESOURCES STAFF, THIS IS ACTUALLY
9:38:52PM NOT THE MOST SUITABLE SPECIES THAT WE WANT THERE.

9:38:58PM THIS IS A VOLUNTARY WAIVER IN WORKING WITH NATURAL RESOURCES
9:38:58PM SAYING THAT WE CAN REPLACE THESE BOSQUE ELMS WITH ANOTHER
9:39:04PM SPECIES THAT'S MORE SUITABLE.
9:39:05PM THAT'S ONE THAT WE'VE REQUESTED ON EVERY PROJECT WE DID
9:39:08PM ACROSS THE STREET, WE DID ON WESTSHORE MALL.
9:39:11PM THE SECOND ONE IS WE'RE REQUESTING TO REMOVE ONE GRAND
9:39:14PM LAUREL DOWN HERE IN THE BOTTOM CORNER.
9:39:16PM I WILL NOTE THIS IS A CONSERVATIVE WAIVER.
9:39:18PM AS YOU CAN SEE, THE DRIVE AISLE ALMOST CURVES AROUND IT.
9:39:21PM WE JUST FOUND THERE HAVE BEEN INCREASING CHALLENGES IN
9:39:23PM PRESERVING SOME OF THESE IN MID-RISE CONSTRUCTION.
9:39:26PM AGAIN, THIS IS A CONSERVATIVE REQUEST BECAUSE WE'RE NOT
9:39:30PM CONFIDENT THIS IS GOING TO SURVIVE CONSTRUCTION HERE FOR THE
9:39:34PM BUILDING.
9:39:34PM TYLER ALLUDED TO THIS A SECOND AGO, WE DO HAVE TO REQUEST A
9:39:39PM WAIVER FOR THE VUA PROXIMITY TO SINGLE-FAMILY.
9:39:43PM WHAT IS REQUIRED PER CODE IS 25 FEET.
9:39:45PM AS TYLER MENTIONED, WE ARE PROVIDING 15 FEET.
9:39:48PM WHAT EXISTS ON THE SITE TODAY IS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY
9:39:51PM ADJACENT.
9:39:51PM I THINK FIVE FEET OFF.
9:39:53PM AND THEN AGAIN, WITH THAT OTHER PD THAT WAS APPROVED PACK IN
9:39:58PM 1990, HELD THE 15-FOOT BUFFER AS WELL.
9:40:01PM WE ARE ESSENTIALLY SAYING, YES, WE ARE REQUESTING A WAIVER
9:40:04PM FROM WHAT IS REQUIRED PER THE OVERLAY CODE, BUT THIS

9:40:08PM SCENARIO WITH THE ACCESS, THE RIGHT IN, RIGHT OUT OFF OF
9:40:11PM LOIS, ACCESS ON SPRUCE, IN HOLDING THOSE EXISTING TRAFFIC
9:40:15PM PATTERNS AND MIRRORING WHAT'S ON-SITE TODAY, WE WOULD LIKE
9:40:18PM THE CIRCULATION IN THE REAR.
9:40:19PM IN TERMS OF SETBACK, THIS WAS ALLUDED TO.
9:40:26PM I TRIED TO COLOR CODE THIS.
9:40:28PM WE HAVE DIFFERENT EXHIBITS THAT CAN HELP.
9:40:31PM A 15-FOOT HORIZONTAL BUFFER WIDTH IS WHAT IS REQUIRED OR
9:40:35PM SETBACK WIDTH.
9:40:36PM 15 FEET.
9:40:37PM HOWEVER, AS WE SEE IN OTHER DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE CODE AND
9:40:41PM OTHER ZONING DISTRICTS, THIS HAS THAT WEDDING CAKE SETBACK.
9:40:45PM SO AS THE BUILDING GETS INCREASED IN HEIGHT, THE SETBACK HAS
9:40:49PM TO INCREASE ALONG WITH IT.
9:40:51PM IN OTHER AREAS OF THE CODE, IT IS TYPICALLY A TWO TO ONE.
9:40:55PM LIKE IF YOUR BUILDING GOES UP TWO FEET, YOU ADD A FOOT OF
9:40:58PM SETBACK.
9:40:58PM FOUR TO ONE WITH LIVE LOCAL, YOU CAN GO UP FOUR FEET, GO
9:41:02PM BACK ONE FOOT.
9:41:04PM IN THE WESTSHORE OVERLAY DISTRICT, IT IS ONE TO ONE.
9:41:06PM THAT IS A VERY CHALLENGING RATIO TO UPHOLD IN THE RMU 100
9:41:06PM FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY WHILE MAINTAINING SENSITIVITY.
9:41:10PM BUT WE HAVE TRIED TO DO THAT.
9:41:12PM WE'VE COME VERY, VERY CLOSE.
9:41:13PM AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, WE HAVE 40 FEET TO THE SOUTH.

9:41:16PM 40 FEET TO THE WEST.
9:41:18PM 50 FEET IS REQUIRED THERE.
9:41:19PM WE'RE TEN FEET OFF.
9:41:21PM BUT WE BELIEVE A 40-FOOT SETBACK FOR THE FIVE STORY PORTION
9:41:24PM OF THE BUILDING IS SUFFICIENT.
9:41:26PM THE SAME WITH THE BLUE ARROW, 70 AND 78.
9:41:30PM THIS IS A REQUEST OF THE WAIVER WHERE THE BUILDING GOES UP
9:41:33PM TO 7 STORIES.
9:41:34PM REQUESTING INSTEAD OF 79-FOOT SETBACK WHICH IS WHAT WOULD BE
9:41:37PM REQUIRED, WE ARE PROVIDING 78 AND WE ARE PROVIDING 70.
9:41:41PM WE'RE VERY, VERY CLOSE TO WHAT IS REQUIRED.
9:41:43PM AS TYLER MENTIONED IN ADDING SOME OF THIS BACKYARD SPACE,
9:41:46PM SOME OF THE DISTANCES ARE FUNCTIONALLY A HUNDRED FEET OF A
9:41:49PM SETBACK FROM THE SEVEN STORY PORTION OF THE BUILDING.
9:41:52PM THE TREES WE ARE PLANTING THERE ARE THE LARGEST COMMERCIALLY
9:42:00PM AVAILABLE TREES IN THE NURSERY.
9:42:02PM THE CONCRETE WALL.
9:42:04PM NOT ONLY ARE WE PROVIDING A VERY EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF WHAT I
9:42:07PM WOULD CALL A HORIZONTAL SETBACK OR HORIZONTAL BUFFER, WE ARE
9:42:11PM TRYING TO OFFER AS MUCH PRIVACY AND PROTECTION VIA THE
9:42:14PM VERTICAL COMPONENTS OF THE BUFFER THAT WE CAN.
9:42:16PM THESE ARE COMMITMENTS THAT WE HAVE MADE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
9:42:18PM AGAIN, THIS IS BEYOND WHAT IS REQUIRED.
9:42:20PM FAR AND BEYOND WHAT IS REQUIRED PER CODE.
9:42:23PM WE FELT IN GATHERING CONCERNS AND LISTENING TO THEM THAT

9:42:26PM MORE PRIVACY WAS DEMANDED AND WE RESPONDED.
9:42:29PM WITH THAT, WE HAVE A FULLY CONSISTENT STAFF REPORT.
9:42:34PM EVERY SINGLE REVIEWING DEPARTMENT FOUND THE APPLICATION
9:42:37PM CONSISTENT REGARDLESS OF THE WAIVERS THAT WERE REQUESTED IN
9:42:40PM EACH DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT.
9:42:41PM I THINK THAT IS A TRUE TESTAMENT TO HOW HARD THE DESIGN TEAM
9:42:45PM HAS WORKED TO DELICATELY THREAD THAT NEEDLE OF A SITE THAT
9:42:50PM DEMANDS HIGH DENSITY, REGIONAL SCALE DENSITY AT A LARGE
9:42:53PM INTERSECTION WHILE ALSO ABUTTING SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
9:42:55PM HOMES.
9:42:56PM WE'VE INCORPORATED SOME OF THE DESIGN SUGGESTIONS WE'VE
9:42:59PM GOTTEN FROM THIS COUNCIL IN TERMS OF SETBACKS AND
9:43:02PM SENSITIVITY.
9:43:03PM THAT'S SEEN IN THIS PROPOSAL DON'T.
9:43:05PM WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO BRING UP CHRIS ZIMMERMAN WITH
9:43:08PM PARADISE VENTURES AND HE WILL SPEAK TO SOME OF THE OUTREACH
9:43:11PM HE'S DONE WITH NEIGHBORS.
9:43:21PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: YES, CHAIR.
9:43:22PM THANK YOU SO MUCH.
9:43:22PM I HATE TO INTERRUPT YOUR PRESENTATION.
9:43:26PM I DID NOT CONSIDER THE FACT THAT MY MOTHER'S HOME IS NOW IN
9:43:30PM MY NAME AND IS ONLY TWO BLOCKS AWAY FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT.
9:43:33PM I THINK OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION, COUNCILMAN CARLSON
9:43:38PM WOULD SAY, I'LL HAVE TO RECUSE MYSELF FROM THIS PARTICULAR
9:43:41PM ITEM.

9:43:43PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: I WILL PREPARE THE FORM FOR YOU.
9:43:45PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: YES.
9:43:46PM I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT THAT IN THAT CAPACITY.
9:43:51PM I APOLOGIZE.
9:43:52PM IT IS EXTREMELY CLOSE.
9:43:58PM JUST OUT OF ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION.
9:44:02PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALSO, THIS IS DIFFERENT, BUT MY MOTHER
9:44:04PM LIVES IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER THERE AT ONE OF THE APARTMENT
9:44:08PM COMPLEXES.
9:44:09PM SHE'S A RENTER.
9:44:10PM SHE DOESN'T OWN ANY REAL ESTATE.
9:44:14PM IT'S VISCANTE.
9:44:18PM IT'S JUST OUT OF VIEW FROM THE MAP.
9:44:20PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: NEITHER SHE NOR ANYONE ELSE HAS A FINANCIAL
9:44:24PM STAKE --
9:44:24PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO.
9:44:25PM I DON'T THINK SHE GOT NOTICE.
9:44:27PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: AS A RENTER SHE NORMALLY WOULD NOT.
9:44:30PM LET ME ASK YOU THIS FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS PROCEEDING.
9:44:33PM CAN YOU HEAR THE EVIDENCE AND BE FREE OF BIAS OR PREJUDICE
9:44:41PM AND BASE YOUR DECISION ON COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IN
9:44:44PM THE RECORD?
9:44:45PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
9:44:46PM I'M STAYING.
9:44:51PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: DO I HAVE TO LEAVE?

9:44:52PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: YES.
9:44:53PM IF YOU STICK AROUND A FEW MORE MINUTES, I'LL FILL OUT THE
9:44:57PM PAPER WORK.
9:44:58PM I'LL MEET YOU IN YOUR OFFICE.
9:44:59PM COUNCILWOMAN, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS TO OUR ATTENTION.
9:45:11PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, SIR.
9:45:12PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
9:45:13PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
9:45:14PM MY NAME IS CHRIS ZIMMERMAN.
9:45:16PM WITH PARADISE VENTURES.
9:45:18PM WE ARE THE CONTRACT PURCHASER AND THE DEVELOPER HERE.
9:45:21PM I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TONIGHT.
9:45:24PM CERTAINLY ALSO WANT TO THANK STAFF FOR ALL THEIR ASSISTANCE
9:45:27PM ALONG THE WAY.
9:45:28PM VERY, VERY PROUD OF ACHIEVING FULL CONSISTENCY HERE.
9:45:33PM IT WAS NOT EASY, PARTICULARLY AS WE WERE ADDRESSING A NUMBER
9:45:36PM OF CONCERNS FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD AT A FEW DIFFERENT
9:45:39PM JUNCTURES.
9:45:40PM VERY PROUD OF THE DESIGN.
9:45:41PM I DID WANT TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT TO THAT OUTREACH.
9:45:44PM WE'VE HAD FIVE FORMAL PRESENTATIONS WITH BOTH THE CARVER
9:45:53PM CITY LINCOLN GARDENS CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
9:45:55PM AND THEN A COUPLE WITH JUST RHONDA CAMPBELL, THE PRESIDENT
9:46:00PM OF THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION AND ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS.
9:46:02PM MRS. ANA LEE ALINA.

9:46:06PM ALSO WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
9:46:09PM IT REALLY WAS A PLEASURE WORKING WITH THEM THROUGHOUT.
9:46:12PM IT WASN'T A PROCESS WHERE WE SAW EYE TO EYE AT ALL TIMES,
9:46:18PM BUT THEY WERE VERY FORTHCOMING WITH CONCERNS THAT THEY HAD,
9:46:21PM SUGGESTIONS THAT THEY HAD, AND I HOPE THAT WE WERE EQUALLY
9:46:27PM PROACTIVE IN TRYING TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS.
9:46:29PM I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
9:46:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?
9:46:33PM NO.
9:46:33PM ALL RIGHT.
9:46:34PM DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER IN THIS PRESENTATION, MR.
9:46:36PM HUDSON?
9:46:36PM HOW MUCH TIME IS LEFT.
9:46:39PM >>THE CLERK: FOUR MINUTES AND 15 SECONDS.
9:46:41PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I'LL JUST MAKE A NOTE.
9:46:43PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:46:44PM AT THIS TIME, IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, I WILL OPEN IT UP
9:46:47PM FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
9:46:48PM THERE ARE NO REGISTERED SPEAKERS.
9:46:49PM ANYBODY IN THE ROOM THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM,
9:46:51PM PLEASE LINE UP AGAINST THE WALL AND WE'LL START ONE BY ONE.
9:47:17PM >> NICK LACRONE.
9:47:20PM 4218 WEST UNION STREET.
9:47:22PM FIRST WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND
9:47:24PM CONSIDERATION FOR MYSELF AND MY NEIGHBORS.

9:47:27PM WHILE I LOVE CARTOONS AND PRETTY TREES JUST LIKE THE NEXT
9:47:31PM GUY, I FEEL AS THOUGH WHAT WAS JUST PRESENTED TO US KIND OF
9:47:35PM PLEAD ITS OWN CASE FOR WHY IT DOESN'T WORK.
9:47:37PM I FOUND IT EXTREMELY INTERESTING ALL OF THE STARS THAT
9:47:42PM SHOWED YOU ALL OF THE OTHER APARTMENT OR MIXED USE SPACES IN
9:47:45PM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT IF YOU GAVE A DOLLAR TO A HOMELESS MAN
9:47:49PM ON THE STREET, THAT DOES -- DOES THAT MEAN YOU HAVE TO GIVE
9:47:52PM A DOLLAR TO EVERY OTHER PERSON YOU WALK BY?
9:47:54PM NO.
9:47:55PM THEN YOU WOULD BE BROKE.
9:47:56PM THAT'S WHAT IS GOING ON HERE.
9:47:58PM IT IS BREAKING THE CULTURE AND COMMUNITY OF OUR
9:48:00PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
9:48:00PM ADDITIONALLY TO THAT, IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP THAT THEY
9:48:04PM SHOWED, SPRUCE IS A TWO LANE STREET ONE GOING EACH WAY.
9:48:08PM IT WAS MENTIONED THAT IN JANUARY THERE WAS ALREADY AN
9:48:12PM APARTMENT BUILDING APPROVED ON THE OTHER SIDE, CATTY-CORNER
9:48:16PM TO WHERE THIS ONE IS BEING PRESENTED AND THERE IS ANOTHER
9:48:19PM ONE CURRENTLY BEING BUILT RIGHT NEXT TO DEL FRESCO ON LOIS
9:48:26PM AND COLUMBUS.
9:48:28PM WHEN YOU TAKE THOSE THREE TOGETHER, YOU'RE PROBABLY LOOKING
9:48:31PM AT APPROXIMATELY 2,000 CARS COMING INTO THIS VERY SMALL,
9:48:36PM COMPACT AREA.
9:48:37PM SPRUCE CAN'T TAKE THAT.
9:48:39PM THE INTERSECTION OF CYPRESS AND LOIS ALREADY BACKS UP TO

9:48:45PM SPRUCE A LOT OF TIMES.
9:48:46PM AND THAT'S WITHOUT AN ADDITIONAL 2,000 CARS.
9:48:49PM ADDITIONAL POINT IS THAT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD RELATIVE TO WHERE
9:48:54PM THEY ARE SHOWING TO BUILD THIS ESTABLISHMENT, THERE IS A
9:48:58PM HIGH SCHOOL, A MIDDLE SCHOOL, AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, JUST
9:49:01PM TWO, THREE BLOCKS AWAY FROM THIS AREA.
9:49:03PM IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE INGRAM COMMUNITY CENTER IS RIGHT
9:49:08PM THERE.
9:49:08PM SO CHILDREN, ELEMENTARY SCHOOLCHILDREN ARE WALKING FROM
9:49:13PM SCHOOL TO THE COMMUNITY CENTER FOR AFTER-SCHOOL CARE, FOR
9:49:16PM TUTORING, FOR SWIM LESSONS.
9:49:18PM WHEN YOU HAVE THIS AMOUNT OF CARS AND INFLUX AND AN
9:49:22PM INFRASTRUCTURE THAT CAN'T HANDLE IT, IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK.
9:49:25PM IT'S JUST GOING TO CAUSE SO MANY MORE ISSUES.
9:49:28PM IMAGINE YOU'RE DRIVING YOUR CAR AND COME UP TO A STOPLIGHT.
9:49:31PM IT'S BACKED UP, YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT.
9:49:35PM ACTUALLY, LET'S USE SPRUCE AND DALE MABRY.
9:49:40PM IF YOU CATCH THAT LIGHT, NEVER MAKE IT THROUGH.
9:49:42PM YOU'LL BE SITTING THERE TWO, THREE ROUNDS.
9:49:45PM YOU TRY TO TAKE A LEFT, RIGHT, TRY TO GO AROUND TO CUT YOUR
9:49:48PM TIME DOWN.
9:49:49PM THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE COMING INTO AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, THAT'S
9:49:54PM WHERE YOU ARE PUTTING THE SAFETY AND LIVES OF OUR COMMUNITY
9:49:56PM IN DANGER SO WE CAN HAVE THIS ESTABLISHMENT.
9:49:59PM I LOVE CARTOONS.

9:50:00PM I LOVE TREES.
9:50:01PM ALL CUTE AND FRIENDLY.
9:50:03PM OUR AREA IS NOT SET UP FOR THIS KIND OF IMPACT.
9:50:07PM THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
9:50:08PM GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.
9:50:09PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:50:10PM YES, MA'AM.
9:50:11PM COME ON UP.
9:50:12PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
9:50:15PM >> VERONICA SUTTON.
9:50:17PM MY FAMILY AND I ARE 22-YEAR RESIDENTS OF CARVER CITY.
9:50:21PM I STRONGLY OPPOSE THE NEW APARTMENT COMPLEX CONSTRUCTION.
9:50:23PM OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HAS BEEN SURROUNDED BY TREMENDOUS GROWTH,
9:50:26PM HOWEVER THE IMPACT OF THIS PROPOSED STRUCTURE HAS SEVERAL
9:50:30PM NEGATIVE IMPLICATIONS AS IT WOULD BE DIRECTLY BEHIND THE
9:50:32PM CARVER CITY NEIGHBORHOOD HOMES.
9:50:34PM THE FIRST NEGATIVE IMPACT WHICH HOLDS MY DEEPEST FEAR IS THE
9:50:39PM INFRASTRUCTURE.
9:50:39PM MY HOME IS CURRENTLY A REMEDIATED SINKHOLE PROPERTY.
9:50:43PM IN 2009, WE HAD 36 HELICAL PIERS PLACED UNDER OUR HOME TO
9:50:48PM STABILIZE IT.
9:50:49PM $43,295.
9:50:52PM IN 2010, WE HAD AN ADDITIONAL 12 HELICAL PIERS, ADDING
9:50:57PM ANOTHER $14,000.
9:50:59PM THERE ARE THREE HOMES DIRECTLY BEHIND THE PROPOSED COMPLEX

9:51:03PM AND TWO HOMES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF UNION THAT HAVE
9:51:06PM EXPERIENCED FOUNDATION CONCERNS AND SINKHOLE REMEDIATIONS.
9:51:09PM THE BUILDER HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE
9:51:13PM COMPREHENSIVE ENGINEERING STUDY REGARDING THE SINKHOLES OR
9:51:16PM WHAT THE STRUCTURAL DAMAGES THIS MASSIVE BUILDING WILL HAVE
9:51:20PM ON OUR HOMES, ESPECIALLY THE HOUSES DIRECTLY BEHIND THEM.
9:51:24PM THE SECOND NEGATIVE IMPACT IS THE MAJOR CONCERN WITH THE
9:51:28PM VOLUME OF 313 APARTMENTS PROVIDING 522 PARKING SPACES WHICH
9:51:34PM WOULD SEVERELY STRAIN OUR ALREADY OVERLY CONGESTED LOCAL
9:51:38PM ROADS.
9:51:38PM A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE RESIDENTS WHO ALREADY HAVE TO WAIT
9:51:41PM FOR THE LIGHT ON LOIS AVENUE AND SPRUCE TO CHANGE JUST TO
9:51:44PM GET OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
9:51:46PM WITH THIS ADDITIONAL COMPLEX EXITING ON TO LOIS AVENUE,
9:51:52PM WOULD EXTREMELY LIMIT THE ABILITY FOR THE RESIDENTS TO
9:51:54PM SAFELY EXIT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ONTO LOIS AVENUE.
9:51:57PM PARADISE VENTURES HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED FOR EIGHT STORY,
9:52:01PM 400 UNIT COMPLEX ON THE ADJACENT CORNER OF LOIS AND SPRUCE.
9:52:05PM THE OLD -- BUILDING.
9:52:08PM TOO MUCH DEVELOPMENT FOR SUCH A DENSE AREA.
9:52:11PM THE THIRD NEGATIVE IMPACT IS THE SHEER HEIGHT OF THE SEVEN
9:52:14PM STORY BUILDING AND THE PRIVACY INFRINGEMENTS ON HOUSES
9:52:18PM DIRECTLY BEHIND THE PROPOSED COMPLEX.
9:52:19PM A SERVICE ROAD THAT SHOULD BE A MINIMUM OF 25 FEET AWAY FROM
9:52:23PM OUR HOMES IS REQUESTING TO BE REDUCED.

9:52:25PM THE BUILDER IS ASKING FOR SETBACK REDUCTIONS IN THE BACK AND
9:52:29PM THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, THUS INCREASING THE NOISE AND
9:52:32PM DECREASING THE AIR QUALITY FOR OUR HOMES.
9:52:35PM NOTHING TO CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE DRIVERS USING THE
9:52:38PM SERVICE ROAD ALONG WITH THE ADDITIONAL NOISE FROM A
9:52:41PM GROUND-LEVEL POOL AND CLUBHOUSE DIRECTLY BEHIND OUR HOMES.
9:52:45PM WE HAVE ENOUGH APARTMENTS ALREADY.
9:52:47PM PLEASE ALLOW US TO KEEP OUR HERITAGE NEIGHBORHOOD OF CARVER
9:52:50PM CITY AND LINCOLN GARDENS SAFE.
9:52:53PM PLEASE VOTE NO FOR THIS APARTMENT COMPLEX.
9:52:56PM I HAVE A PETITION SIGNED BY THE NEIGHBORS ON SPRUCE STREET
9:53:00PM AND OTHER CONCERNED CITIZENS NO YES, MA'AM.
9:53:02PM PLEASE BRING IT UP TO THE ATTORNEY AND HE'LL TAKE IT AND
9:53:06PM PASS IT AROUND.
9:53:07PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:53:07PM YES, MA'AM, COME ON UP.
9:53:11PM >> KENYA SUTTON.
9:53:14PM 4202 WEST UNION STREET.
9:53:17PM DEAR COUNCIL, I'M A THIRD GENERATION RESIDENT OF LINCOLN
9:53:20PM GARDENS CARVER CITY AREA.
9:53:21PM I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN CARVER CITY AND LIVED THERE OVER 50
9:53:25PM YEARS.
9:53:27PM I'M CURRENTLY LIVING IN A HOME PURCHASED BY MY GRANDPARENTS.
9:53:30PM AS A GEN-XER I WELCOME THE GROWTH AND CHANGE THE BAY AREA
9:53:35PM HAS HAD.

9:53:36PM I ALSO APPRECIATE AND RESPECT THE LAND WE ONCE HAD.
9:53:40PM HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING?
9:53:43PM WELL, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE RUNNING INTO RIGHT NOW.
9:53:45PM I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF THE
9:53:48PM APARTMENT, COMMERCIAL SPACE BUILDINGS IN THE 4200 BLOCK OF
9:53:53PM WEST SPRUCE STREET.
9:53:54PM AS STATED PREVIOUSLY, I WATCHED THE CARVER CITY AREA GROW,
9:53:57PM SO MUCH SO THAT THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC IN THE AREAS HAS
9:54:01PM INCREASED SO MUCH THAT I'M BARELY ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY HOME
9:54:05PM SAFELY IN THE MORNING TRYING TO RETURN TO WORK ON LOIS
9:54:07PM AVENUE.
9:54:09PM RESIDENTS THAT LIVE IN THE APARTMENT YOU SAW ACROSS THE
9:54:14PM STREET HAVE INVADED OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BY PARKING THEIR CARS
9:54:17PM IN FRONT OF OUR HOMES AND HAVING THEIR DELIVERY DRIVERS
9:54:22PM DELIVER THEIR GOODS TO THEM IN FRONT OF OUR HOMES.
9:54:26PM MY 12-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER IS NO LONGER ABLE TO RIDE HER
9:54:30PM BICYCLE OR HOVER BOARD SAFELY DOWN THE SIDEWALK IN THIS
9:54:34PM AREA.
9:54:34PM OR OUR PORCH WITHOUT INTERRUPTIONS.
9:54:39PM IN ADDITION, I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE AREA OF LOIS FLOODED
9:54:43PM BEFORE IN FRONT OF MY HOME UNTIL RECENTLY THIS YEAR.
9:54:47PM DUE TO THE APARTMENT BUILDINGS BEING BUILT ACROSS THE STREET
9:54:50PM FROM MY HOME.
9:54:51PM THE DRAINAGE DITCH WAS COVERED.
9:54:53PM TO APPARENTLY A PROPER DRAINAGE SYSTEM WAS NOT PUT INTO

9:54:58PM PLACE, RESULTING IN FLOODING IN FRONT OF MY HOME.
9:55:00PM THIS IS A FAMILY FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD, AND WE ARE ONE OF
9:55:07PM THE FEW HISTORICALLY BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS REMAINING IN THE
9:55:11PM TAMPA BAY AREA.
9:55:12PM I WOULD LIKE TO PRESERVE THIS AREA FOR MY CHILD AND LEAVE
9:55:16PM THE LEGACY OF WHERE HER ANCESTORS WERE ROOTED.
9:55:20PM I UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE A PLAN -- WE HAVE PLANNED PARKING
9:55:24PM SPOTS, BUT THE RESIDENTS DO NOT STICK TO THAT PLAN.
9:55:28PM IT'S TIME THAT WE BECOME MORE PROACTIVE AND REACTIVE AND
9:55:32PM ADDRESS THE PROBLEM BEFORE THEY OCCUR.
9:55:35PM AND WE CONTINUE TO NOT BUILD TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING.
9:55:41PM WE ASK THAT YOU VOTE NO ON THIS PROPOSAL AND I THANK YOU.
9:55:44PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
9:55:45PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:55:46PM NEXT SPEAKER.
9:55:47PM YES, SIR.
9:55:48PM >> HELLO.
9:55:49PM JEROME SUTTON.
9:55:50PM 4203 WEST UNION STREET.
9:55:53PM MY HOUSE ABUTS DIRECTLY UP TO THIS PROPERTY.
9:55:58PM THE ENTRANCE THAT THEY WILL USE TO TURN INTO THE PARKING
9:56:01PM GARAGE IS RIGHT BEHIND MY BACKYARD.
9:56:04PM I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I ENJOY MY BACKYARD.
9:56:08PM THAT'S WHY WE LIVE IN FLORIDA SO I CAN GO OUTSIDE AND HAVE A
9:56:12PM GREENSPACE IN MY YARD THAT'S NICE.

9:56:15PM I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY A TEN FOOT
9:56:19PM WALL THAT I'LL HAVE TO SIT ON MY LANAI AND LOOK OUT AT
9:56:22PM FOLLOWED BY A FIVE STORY BUILDING AND THEN FOLLOWED BY THAT
9:56:25PM BY ANOTHER SEVEN STORY BUILDING.
9:56:28PM I WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE NO MORE -- I CAN'T SEE ANYWHERE.
9:56:32PM GET MY POINT I'M TRYING TO MAKE?
9:56:40PM I'M ASKING THAT YOU SAY NO TO THE PROJECT BECAUSE WITH THE
9:56:43PM THOROUGHFARE COMING THROUGH BEHIND THAT WAY, ALSO BE AN
9:56:46PM INCREASE OF NOISE AND TRAFFIC ON THAT FLOW AS PEOPLE FLOW
9:56:50PM AND TURN INTO THE PARKING GARAGE.
9:56:52PM RIGHT NOW WE HAVE THE SCHOOL THERE.
9:56:55PM AT LEAST THEY HAVE HOURS.
9:56:56PM AND THEY ARE THERE FROM IN THE MORNING UNTIL ABOUT 9:30,
9:57:00PM 10:00 AT NIGHT.
9:57:01PM THEN IT'S QUIET, DONE, IT'S NOTHING.
9:57:03PM ON THE WEEKENDS, THERE IS NO SCHOOL.
9:57:05PM HOWEVER, WE BUILD THIS HOUSE HERE, THIS APARTMENT HERE, IT'S
9:57:08PM GOING TO BE HERE FOR ETERNITY.
9:57:10PM IT'S GOING TO BE CONSTANT FLOW IN AND OUT, GOING BACK AND
9:57:14PM FORTH, DISTURBING MY PEACE.
9:57:16PM THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.
9:57:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:57:22PM YES, MA'AM.
9:57:23PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
9:57:25PM >> McNEER.

9:57:26PM I HAVE A VISUAL PROBLEM RIGHT NOW, SO I ASKED MY FRIEND TO
9:57:29PM READ MY --
9:57:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
9:57:32PM GO AHEAD.
9:57:33PM >> VERONICA SUTTON.
9:57:35PM AS SOMEONE THAT GREW UP WATCHING THE COMMUNITY DEVELOP, I'M
9:57:38PM ASKING THAT YOU PLEASE DO NOT GRANT THIS REQUEST.
9:57:41PM I UNDERSTAND PROGRESS AND I FEEL THAT OUR COMMUNITY HAS DONE
9:57:43PM ITS SHARE TO MOVE PROGRESS FORWARD.
9:57:47PM THE PROBLEM MY FAMILY HAD WHEN THE SCHOOL WAS BUILT THERE.
9:57:51PM THE IMPACT OF THE BUILDING CAUSED FLOODING ON THE BACK OF MY
9:57:53PM NIECE AND NEPHEW'S HOME.
9:57:55PM I CAN IMAGINE THE DAMAGE ALLOWING THIS BUILDING CAN BE AND
9:57:59PM WHAT IT WOULD CAUSE.
9:58:00PM ADDITIONALLY, WE'VE BEEN SURROUNDED BY HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS
9:58:04PM THAT HAVE PEOPLE THAT DO NOT SHARE OUR VALUES.
9:58:07PM THEIR DOGS POOP IN OUR YARDS CAUSING US TO OPEN OUR DOORS
9:58:11PM AND SMELL POOP OR WHEN OUR GUESTS COME TO THE FRONT YARDS
9:58:14PM THEY STEP IN POOP.
9:58:15PM NOTHING AGAINST ANIMALS, BUT WE WERE RAISED TO CARE FOR OUR
9:58:18PM PETS DIFFERENTLY.
9:58:19PM UNDESIRABLE BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO IMPACT OUR
9:58:22PM COMMUNITY ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMEONE'S
9:58:26PM WALLET TO BE FATTENED.
9:58:27PM OUR LOCAL STREETS ARE SO IMPACTED AND CROWDED THAT WE HAVE

9:58:30PM DIFFICULTY GETTING IN WHEN WE NEED TO GO AND BECAUSE OF
9:58:34PM PREVIOUSLY GRANTED ZONE CHANGES THERE APPEARS THAT NO EASY,
9:58:37PM ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION IS AVAILABLE.
9:58:41PM ALLOWING MORE MULTIFAMILY HOUSING AND BUSINESSES TO DEVELOP
9:58:45PM ON THAT PROPERTY WOULD ONLY COMPLICATE THE SITUATION MORE.
9:58:49PM IN ADDITION TO THIS, HERE WE ARE AGAIN BEING ASKED TO MAKE
9:58:53PM ANOTHER CONCESSION TO ALLOW MULTIFAMILY DWELLING AND
9:58:56PM BUSINESS TO BE IN PLACE OF OUR SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLING AREA.
9:58:59PM AGAIN, I ASK THAT YOU DO NOT ALLOW THIS.
9:59:02PM MULTIFAMILY DWELLERS DO NOT SHARE THE SAME VALUES THAT WE DO
9:59:05PM AND WOULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR LIVES.
9:59:08PM THINK ABOUT THIS, WOULD YOU LIKE FOR SOMEONE, ONE OF YOUR
9:59:11PM NEIGHBORS TO SELL ADJACENT PROPERTY TO YOUR HOME AND JUST
9:59:14PM BECAUSE THERE IS ACREAGE ENOUGH FOR CONDOS AND BUSINESSES TO
9:59:17PM BE BUILT THERE, WOULD YOU LIKE IT TO BE ALLOWED?
9:59:19PM OUR ANCESTORS WERE GRANTED PERMISSION TO BUILD ON THIS SITE
9:59:23PM BECAUSE OF THE TIME IT WAS UNDESIRABLE PLOT, LAND FOR
9:59:28PM HABITATION.
9:59:29PM THEY ACCEPTED IT BECAUSE THEY HAD NO RECOURSE.
9:59:32PM THEY MOVED ON THE LAND WITH SOME OF THEM DWELLING IN
9:59:35PM SHELTERS AND MANY CONSTRUCTED OF CARDBOARD BOXES.
9:59:37PM THEY FOUGHT OFF THE WILD ANIMALS AND CLEARED THE PALMETTO
9:59:41PM BUSHES AND TREES ALL BECAUSE THEY WANTED THE AMERICAN DREAM
9:59:45PM FOR THEIR FAMILIES JUST AS OTHERS DID.
9:59:47PM MANY OF THEM ARE GONE NOW, BUT THEY HAVE LEFT SOME OF US WHO

9:59:51PM REMEMBER WHAT THEY DID TO MAKE THE COMMUNITY WHAT IT IS AND
9:59:55PM WHO HAVE BROUGHT INTO THAT DREAM AND LOCATING OUR FAMILIES
9:59:58PM IN THE AREA.
9:59:59PM MANY OF US ARE OLD AND WE DO NOT HAVE RESOURCES NOR THE
10:00:03PM DESIRE OR ENERGY TO TAKE UP RESIDENCE ANYWHERE ELSE.
10:00:06PM PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN TO US.
10:00:09PM GLORIA D. McNAIR.
10:00:12PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:00:13PM NEXT SPEAKER.
10:00:16PM >> HELLO.
10:00:17PM MY NAME IS ANGELA PUGO.
10:00:20PM I LIVE RIGHT ACROSS FROM WHERE THIS STRUCTURE IS GOING TO
10:00:27PM BE.
10:00:32PM THEY SAY THE PRIVACY IS NOT HAVING A BALCONY.
10:00:35PM A BALCONY IS NOT WINDOWS.
10:00:36PM THE PEOPLE FROM THE APARTMENTS CAN STILL SEE INTO OUR HOMES,
10:00:40PM INTO OUR YARDS.
10:00:42PM THEY ARE TAKING AWAY OUR PRIVACY.
10:00:44PM AND JUST AS WAS SAID EARLIER, CONCORD IS ONLY THERE FOR A
10:00:48PM CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME DURING THE DAY.
10:00:50PM THEY ARE NOT THERE AT NIGHT.
10:00:52PM THEY ARE NOT THERE ON WEEKENDS.
10:00:55PM THE PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING IN, WE HAVE ALREADY SIX LARGE
10:01:01PM APARTMENTS SURROUNDING US, AND THE TRAFFIC THAT HAS -- I
10:01:08PM MEAN, YOU CAN'T EVEN WALK ON THE SIDEWALK.

10:01:13PM THEY ARE LITERALLY RACING.
10:01:15PM IT'S FROM THE PEOPLE IN THE APARTMENTS BECAUSE I WALK MY PET
10:01:20PM EVERY NIGHT ON LOIS AND SPRUCE, AND IT IS THE PEOPLE IN
10:01:23PM THESE APARTMENTS THAT THEY ARE RACING IN AND RACING OUT AND
10:01:27PM THEIR COMPANY DOING THE SAME.
10:01:29PM THEY ARE USING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE A DRAG RACE STRIP.
10:01:34PM 2:00, 3:00 IN THE MORNING, YOU HEAR THEM RACING DOWN THE
10:01:37PM STREET.
10:01:38PM THEN THESE APARTMENTS, LIKE IT WAS MENTIONED EARLIER, THEY
10:01:45PM HAVE TRUCKS, AND I DON'T MEAN LITTLE DELIVERY TRUCKS.
10:01:47PM I MEAN SEMIS, DELIVERING CARS TO THEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T
10:01:52PM WANT TO PARK IT OVER THERE WHERE THEY ARE AT AT VARELA.
10:01:56PM MY PARENTS BUILT THAT HOME THAT I'M LIVING IN NOW OVER 50
10:02:06PM YEARS AGO, OVER 50 YEARS AGO.
10:02:09PM THEY WERE FRIENDS WITH THE SUTTONS AND McNAIR FAMILY.
10:02:14PM THAT BLOCK IS A FAMILY.
10:02:16PM IT'S NOT JUST A BLOCK.
10:02:19PM IT IS A FAMILY.
10:02:20PM WE ALL LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER.
10:02:22PM WE ALL LOOK OUT FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:02:25PM THAT NEIGHBORHOOD LOOKS OUT FOR EACH OTHER.
10:02:30PM AND FOR YOU TO BRING, ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN, SHAME ON YOU IF
10:02:35PM YOU DO.
10:02:35PM BECAUSE THIS IS ONE MORE STRUCTURE THAT IS DESTROYING A
10:02:45PM FAMILY, THAT IS DESTROYING A COMMUNITY.

10:02:48PM AND I MEAN A REAL COMMUNITY.
10:02:50PM THAT'S WHAT I PRETTY MUCH HAVE TO SAY.
10:02:56PM THANK YOU.
10:02:57PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
10:02:58PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:02:59PM NEXT SPEAKER.
10:03:00PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
10:03:01PM >> HI.
10:03:01PM GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
10:03:02PM JENNIFER McELROY.
10:03:04PM I AM A RESIDENT AND HOMEOWNER AT 4221 WEST SPRUCE STREET,
10:03:06PM WHICH IS VILLA SONOMA CONDOMINIUMS, WHICH IS DIRECTLY ACROSS
10:03:10PM THE STREET OF WEST SPRUCE STREET FROM WHAT WOULD BE THE NEW
10:03:15PM COMPLEX.
10:03:15PM ACTUALLY ONE OF THEIR ENTRANCES WOULD BE DIRECTLY ACROSS
10:03:18PM FROM MY CONDOMINIUM'S ONLY ENTRANCE AND EXIT OFF OF THAT
10:03:23PM PROPERTY.
10:03:23PM I AM HERE TODAY IN OPPOSITION OF THIS REZONE PROPOSAL.
10:03:27PM WITHIN THE 33606 ZIP CODE, WHICH IS WHERE THIS SUBJECT IS
10:03:32PM LOCATED IS NEARLY 25,000 RESIDENTS BASED ON A 2023 CENSUS
10:03:37PM DATA REPORT.
10:03:38PM MANY OF THE RESIDENTS LIVE IN A SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES AND
10:03:40PM MULTI-APARTMENT COMPLEXES AND CONDOMINIUM BUILDING.
10:03:43PM JUST WITHIN A QUARTER MILE RADIUS OF THE REZONING ADDRESS
10:03:46PM ARE THREE MAJOR APARTMENT COMPLEXES, MY CONDOMINIUM AND

10:03:50PM SEVERAL OF THOSE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
10:03:52PM WE ALL USE SPRUCE STREET TO COMMUTE TO OUR JOBS, TO GO ABOUT
10:03:56PM OUR DAILY LIVES AND TO GET HOME.
10:03:58PM AROUND THE CORNER FROM SPRUCE STREET ON MANHATTAN AVENUE IS
10:04:02PM FIRE STATION 8.
10:04:03PM ANNUALLY THE TAMPA FIRE AND RESCUE STATIONS RESPOND TO
10:04:07PM NEARLY 89,000 EMERGENCIES.
10:04:09PM THIS SPECIFIC STATION RESPONDS TO HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS
10:04:13PM OF CALLS EACH YEAR AND THEY USE SPRUCE STREET TO RESPOND TO
10:04:16PM THESE CALLS.
10:04:17PM UNDER A MILE AWAY FROM SPRUCE STREET, TWO MAJOR PUBLIC
10:04:21PM SCHOOL FACILITIES, JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL AND ROLAND PARK K-8
10:04:24PM MAGNET SCHOOL.
10:04:25PM ACCORDING TO THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR DATA, NEARLY 1400
10:04:30PM STUDENTS ATTENDED THE HIGH SCHOOL AND OVER 800 ATTENDED K-8
10:04:34PM MAGNET SCHOOL.
10:04:35PM AT LEAST A TOTAL OF 2200 STUDENTS ATTENDING THESE TWO
10:04:38PM EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES.
10:04:40PM ALONG WITH TEACHERS AND STAFF THAT SUPPORT THESE EDUCATIONAL
10:04:42PM FACILITIES AND THEY ARE ALL USING LOIS AVENUE AND SPRUCE
10:04:45PM STREET TO GET TO THESE PLACES. CONSIDERING THIS DATA,
10:04:50PM SPRUCE STREET AND SURROUNDING ROADS SUCH AS LOIS AVENUE
10:04:53PM SUPPORT THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS, STUDENTS, EMERGENCY
10:04:55PM RESPONDERS AND TRAVELERS EACH DAY.
10:04:57PM BASED ON THE INITIAL DESIGN OF THE NEW PROPERTY AT 4202 WEST

10:05:01PM SPRUCE STREET, ENTRANCE AND EXITS OF THE COMPLEX WOULD BE
10:05:04PM BOTH ON SPRUCE STREET AND LOIS AVENUE WHICH CANNOT SUPPORT
10:05:09PM ANY ADDITIONAL COMMUTERS AT THIS TIME.
10:05:10PM AS YOU ALREADY KNOW FROM OTHER SPEAKERS, SPRUCE STREET IS
10:05:13PM ONLY A TWO LANE ROAD WITH NO TURN LANE IN THE MIDDLE.
10:05:16PM YOU HAVE TO GO OVER THE YELLOW LINE IN ORDER TO TURN.
10:05:18PM AT THE LIGHT AT LOIS AND SPRUCE, THERE IS NO LEFT TURN.
10:05:21PM YOU HAVE TO YIELD TO THE GREEN LIGHT TO BE ABLE TO TURN.
10:05:25PM MANY TIMES YOU WON'T MAKE THE LIGHT THE FIRST TIME ANYWAYS.
10:05:28PM ALSO, WITH MY TIME LIVING ON THIS STREET FOR UNDER TWO
10:05:33PM YEARS, I HAVE SEEN SPRUCE STREET FLOOD TO THE POINT WHERE
10:05:36PM CARS WERE STALLED AND HAD TO BE PROFESSIONALLY TOWED DUE TO
10:05:40PM RAINWATER.
10:05:41PM AND HAVING A SITUATION LIKE THAT MAKES IT A DANGEROUS
10:05:43PM ENVIRONMENT FOR BOTH COMMUTERS AND RESIDENTS OF THIS AREA.
10:05:46PM I PROPOSE THAT THE LAND AT 4202 NOT BE ZONED TO RESIDENTIAL
10:05:52PM AND STAYS AS IT CURRENTLY IS AS ROADS AND INFRASTRUCTURE OF
10:05:55PM THE AREA CAN BARELY SUPPORT THE CURRENT BUSINESSES, SCHOOLS
10:05:59PM AND RESIDENCES IN THE AREA AT THIS TIME.
10:06:01PM ANOTHER RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY COMPLEX IS NOT FAVORABLE FOR
10:06:03PM THIS COMMUNITY.
10:06:05PM THANK YOU.
10:06:05PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:06:06PM YES, SIR.
10:06:07PM COME ON UP.

10:06:08PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
10:06:10PM >> JAMES.
10:06:12PM 4209 WEST UNION STREET.
10:06:14PM THAT IS A PROPERTY DIRECTLY ABUTTING THE PROPOSED
10:06:18PM DEVELOPMENT.
10:06:19PM I'M HERE TO VOICE MY STRONG OPPOSITION TO THIS PROJECT AND
10:06:23PM AGAINST ANY WAIVERS REQUESTED BY THE DEVELOPER.
10:06:25PM NOT JUST AS A NEIGHBOR, BUT AS SOMEONE WHO DEEPLY CARES
10:06:28PM ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THIS COMMUNITY.
10:06:30PM AS MANY OTHERS HAVE SAID, THE TRAFFIC IS A PROBLEM.
10:06:33PM TRAFFIC IS ALREADY BAD.
10:06:35PM IF YOU'VE DRIVEN DOWN LOIS LATELY, YOU ALREADY KNOW HOW
10:06:38PM TREACHEROUS THE POTHOLES CAN BE, NOT TO MENTION THE
10:06:42PM AFOREMENTIONED LEFT TURNS AND LIGHTS.
10:06:44PM WE DON'T NEED TO ADD THIS MUCH MORE VOLUME TO WHAT IS
10:06:48PM ALREADY AN OVERBURDENED ROAD.
10:06:49PM PRIVACY AND QUALITY OF LIFE WITH ANY MEMBER OF THIS COUNCIL
10:06:54PM BE COMFORTABLE LOOKING OUT THEIR DINING ROOM WINDOW AND
10:06:58PM SEEING A STRANGER STARING BACK AT THEM FROM THE SIX FLOOR
10:07:02PM APARTMENT.
10:07:03PM THAT'S WHAT THIS WOULD IMPOSE ON FAMILIES AND NEIGHBORS.
10:07:05PM PERSONS BACKYARD SHOULD BE A PLACE OF RELAXATION, NOT A
10:07:09PM VIEWING GALLERY FOR UPPER LEVEL RESIDENTS.
10:07:11PM IT'S A VIOLATION OF PRIVACY.
10:07:13PM SAFETY CONCERNS, THE DEVELOPER HAS PROPOSED A ROAD JUST 15

10:07:17PM FEET FROM OUR BACKYARDS.
10:07:18PM THE NOISE, THE CONSTANT FLOW OF TRAFFIC, THE EXHAUST FUMES
10:07:22PM AND, YES, THE TERRIFYING POSSIBILITY OF A VEHICLE CAREENING
10:07:26PM INTO A YARD WHERE MY CHILDREN PLAY IS DEEPLY UNSETTLING.
10:07:32PM NOT JUST INCONVENIENCE BUT A SAFETY RISK.
10:07:34PM AESTHETIC IMPACT, PROPOSED SEVEN STORY STRUCTURE IS OUT OF
10:07:38PM PLACE.
10:07:39PM IT DOES NOT BLEND WITH THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES AROUND IT.
10:07:42PM WHILE IT MAY LOOK ATTRACTIVE FROM THE DEVELOPER'S
10:07:44PM RENDERINGS, IT WILL CAST A LITERAL SHADOW OVER THE
10:07:48PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:07:49PM ANOTHER NEARBY DEVELOPMENTS ARE BETTER PLACED ALONG MAJOR
10:07:52PM ROADS LIKE BOYSCOUT AND SURROUNDED BY COMMERCIAL OR MIXED
10:07:55PM USE PARCELS, NOT TIGHTLY PACKED RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES.
10:07:58PM JUST ON PRINCIPLE, WE HAVE BUILDING CODES FOR A REASON.
10:08:01PM THEY EXIST TO ENSURE THE LIVEABILITY AND FAIRNESS, GRANTING
10:08:08PM WAIVER AFTER WAIVER TO SHOEHORN OUTSIZED PROJECT ONTO A
10:08:12PM RELATIVELY SMALL PARCEL GOES AGAINST THAT PRINCIPLE.
10:08:15PM AT SOME POINT THE CITY MUST ASK, ARE WE PRIORITIZING REVENUE
10:08:18PM OR THE WELL-BEING OF OUR COMMUNITIES.
10:08:22PM I'M NOT OPPOSED TO ALL DEVELOPMENT.
10:08:23PM I AM OPPOSED TO THOUGHTLESS DEVELOPMENT THAT COMPROMISES THE
10:08:27PM SAFETY, PRIVACY AND INTEGRITY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.
10:08:29PM THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR SERVICE.
10:08:32PM I RESPECTFULLY URGE YOU TO REJECT THE REQUESTED WAIVERS AND

10:08:38PM THE PROPOSED PROJECT.
10:08:40PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
10:08:40PM NEXT SPEAKER.
10:08:42PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
10:09:00PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: MS. SANCHEZ HAS ONE, TWO, THREE NAMES.
10:09:04PM MICHAEL FANNING.
10:09:06PM THANK YOU.
10:09:06PM BETTY DAVIS.
10:09:12PM IS THERE A MS. DAVIS?
10:09:13PM THERE YOU ARE.
10:09:15PM THANK YOU.
10:09:16PM AND SHERYL E. DAVIS.
10:09:19PM THANK YOU.
10:09:19PM THAT'S SIX MINUTES TOTAL, PLEASE.
10:09:26PM >> PLEASE DON'T START MY TIME UNTIL YOU DISTRIBUTE THOSE.
10:10:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:10:05PM GO AHEAD, MA'AM.
10:10:06PM >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.
10:10:07PM MY NAME IS SANDRA DEDIEGO SANCHEZ.
10:10:10PM I AM HERE BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS DIVERSE MISSING MIDDLE
10:10:14PM NEIGHBORHOOD, CARVER CITY, LINCOLN GARDENS, IS BEING
10:10:17PM SMOTHERED BY OVERZEALOUS DEVELOPERS.
10:10:20PM THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS BUILT ON A LANDFILL.
10:10:26PM ONE OF THE SPEAKERS AFTER ME WILL SHOW YOU A MAP SHOWING THE
10:10:29PM SINKHOLES WITHIN THIS AREA.

10:10:31PM EARTH MOVEMENT IN THIS DEVELOPMENT IS VERY NORMAL.
10:10:38PM THERE IS FEAR THAT IT WILL HAVE FURTHER DAMAGE DONE TO THE
10:10:45PM FOUNDATIONS OF THEIR HOMES.
10:10:47PM TAKE ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF KEEPING THIS NEIGHBORHOOD
10:10:51PM SAFE.
10:10:51PM THIS NEIGHBORHOOD NOT ONLY THREATENS THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE
10:10:57PM BUT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DESTROY THEIR HOMES.
10:11:00PM THE TRAFFIC REPORT PROVIDED DOES NOT MENTION ALL THE OTHER
10:11:03PM HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENTS YOU HAVE RECENTLY APPROVED FOR
10:11:05PM THIS COMMUNITY.
10:11:06PM I REALIZE THAT YOU ADDRESS EACH AS A SEPARATE ENTITY, BUT
10:11:11PM PLEASE LOOK AT THE OVERVIEW THAT I HAVE PROVIDED THAT WILL
10:11:13PM GIVE YOU A BETTER UNDERSTANDING.
10:11:15PM THE NEW PROJECT AT 4202 WEST SPRUCE WILL ADD ANOTHER 313
10:11:22PM UNITS.
10:11:22PM THAT WILL MAKE ALMOST 3900 UNITS WHICH REPRESENTS A MINIMUM
10:11:26PM OF 3900 CARS TO THIS COMMUNITY.
10:11:30PM ALL THESE UNITS ARE BETWEEN BOY SCOUT ROAD AND CYPRESS AND
10:11:34PM HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO LOIS AVENUE.
10:11:37PM LOIS AVENUE HAS BECOME A SHORTCUT FOR PEOPLE FROM SOUTH
10:11:40PM TAMPA AND ALSO FROM PEOPLE GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE TO GO
10:11:43PM TO THE INTERNATIONAL MALL, THE AIRPORT, AND CLEARWATER.
10:11:47PM IT JUST ADDS TO THE CONGESTION.
10:11:50PM ONE OF THE DIFFERENCES IN THIS PLAN AS COMPARED TO THE
10:11:53PM OTHERS THAT YOU HAVE APPROVED, THIS SINGLE-FAMILY COMMUNITY

10:11:58PM DIRECTLY ABUTS THE PROPOSED PROJECT.
10:12:01PM BUILDING THIS MONSTROSITY IS IRRESPONSIBLE, ESPECIALLY
10:12:05PM ASKING FOR THE ADDITIONAL WAIVERS WHICH EXACERBATE THE
10:12:08PM COMMUNITY'S FRAGILITY.
10:12:09PM WE'RE BACK TO THE PROVERBIAL PUTTING A TEN POUND BAG OF
10:12:13PM POTATOES INTO A FIVE POUND SACK.
10:12:15PM THE ONLY OTHER PROJECT ABUTTING SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES IS
10:12:19PM DIRECTLY TO THE WEST OF THIS SITE WHICH IS NOVUS WHICH HAS
10:12:24PM 262 UNITS.
10:12:25PM IT WAS COMPLETED ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO.
10:12:28PM TWO OF THE HOMES IN THE 4300 BLOCK OF MAIN, DIRECTLY BEHIND
10:12:32PM NOVUS HAVE SHOWN DAMAGE SINCE THE COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT.
10:12:38PM DAMAGE CAUSED BY EARTH MOVEMENT.
10:12:41PM EVEN THOUGH DAMAGE NOT INVESTIGATED, IT LEAVES THE
10:12:43PM NEIGHBORHOOD ANXIOUS.
10:12:44PM THE GEOTECHNICAL REPORT THAT IS INCLUDED WAS DATED IN
10:12:48PM JANUARY 2024.
10:12:49PM THIS DEVELOPER HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE ISSUES ALL THIS TIME AND
10:12:53PM HAS MADE NO ATTEMPT TO REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY REGARDING
10:12:56PM THIS REPORT.
10:12:57PM IN FACT, THE GEOTECHNICAL REPORT WAS NOT SHARED WITH THE
10:13:01PM COMMUNITY UNTIL LAST WEEK AND ONLY AFTER THE COMMUNITY ASKED
10:13:05PM FOR IT.
10:13:06PM IT HAS CAUSED THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO DISTRUST THE DEVELOPER.
10:13:10PM NOT ONLY DID THEY NOT SHARE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD BUT THEY

10:13:13PM DIDN'T SHARE IT WITH STAFF.
10:13:15PM WHAT IS REALLY QUESTIONABLE IS WITH THIS GEOLOGICAL REPORT,
10:13:19PM WHY WOULD THIS DEVELOPER MOVE FORWARD?
10:13:21PM THEIR PROPOSED STRUCTURE IS ON THE SAME LANDFILL.
10:13:25PM WHAT JEOPARDIZES THE COMMUNITY JEOPARDIZES THIS DEVELOPER.
10:13:28PM THE DESCRIPTION IN THE GEOTECHNICAL REPORT IS FOR FOUR, FIVE
10:13:33PM STORY WOODEN BUILDING.
10:13:34PM THAT IS NOT WHAT IS ON THE SITE PLANS.
10:13:38PM ONE LINE IN THE REPORT STATES, CARE SHOULD BE USED WHEN
10:13:40PM OPERATING THE COMPACTOR NEAR THE EXISTING STRUCTURES TO
10:13:43PM AVOID TRANSMISSION OF VIBRATION THAT COULD CAUSE SETTLEMENT
10:13:47PM DAMAGE OR DISTURB OCCUPANTS.
10:13:50PM THIS REPORT EVEN GOES FURTHER DETAIL ABOUT HOW SENSITIVE THE
10:13:53PM PROJECT SHOULD BE SO AS NOT TO HARM THE SURROUNDING
10:13:57PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:13:57PM THE DEVELOPER HAS TOLD THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT THEY WOULD NOT
10:14:00PM BEGIN BUILDING UNTIL 2028.
10:14:02PM SO THERE DOES SEEM TO BE NOT A RUSH, MAYBE THEY SHOULD
10:14:06PM RETHINK THIS PROJECT.
10:14:07PM THE STAFF REPORT FINDS IT CONSISTENT.
10:14:10PM A LOT OF TALK ABOUT PEDESTRIAN WALKWAYS, MULTIMODAL OPTIONS,
10:14:15PM BUT NOWHERE DOES IT ADDRESS THE POSSIBILITY OF PERMANENT
10:14:19PM DAMAGE TO THE COMMUNITY, BOTH PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL.
10:14:21PM THE CONSISTENCY THAT THEY HAVE FOUND ONLY BENEFITS THE
10:14:27PM DEVELOPER AND DOES NOT ADDRESS THE HUMAN RESPONSIBILITY OF

10:14:30PM KEEPING THIS NEIGHBORHOOD SAFE.
10:14:32PM I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A REVISION SHEET THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD
10:14:35PM HAS NOT SEEN.
10:14:36PM NO MATTER WHAT IS ON THE REVISION SHEET, THE CHANGES THAT
10:14:39PM NEED TO BE MADE ARE TOO MAJOR TO BE COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST
10:14:43PM AND SECOND READING.
10:14:44PM I HAVE ATTACHED SOME LAND USE GUIDELINES TO SHOW THAT THE
10:14:48PM PROJECT IS IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH THE CURRENT COMPREHENSIVE
10:14:52PM PLAN.
10:14:52PM PLEASE DON'T LET THIS COMMUNITY BE SACRIFICED IN THE NAME OF
10:14:56PM PROGRESS WHEN CHANGES CAN BE MADE TO ACCOMMODATE THIS
10:15:00PM COMMUNITY.
10:15:01PM I ASK YOU TO DENY THIS PETITION.
10:15:02PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:15:03PM YES, MA'AM.
10:15:04PM PLEASE COME ON UP AND STATE YOUR NAME.
10:15:07PM IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT'S GOING TO COME UP TO SPEAK?
10:15:16PM STEPHANIE POYNOR WILL BE THE LAST SPEAKER.
10:15:20PM THANK YOU SO MUCH.
10:15:22PM YES, MA'AM, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
10:15:24PM >> GOOD EVENING.
10:15:27PM I LIVE 175 37 BELLA VISTA LOOP.
10:15:33PM I'M HERE TO ASK YOU TO DENY THIS DEVELOPER'S REQUEST AS IT
10:15:38PM WILL JEOPARDIZE THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN CARVER CITY
10:15:44PM NEIGHBORHOOD AND DAMAGE THEIR HOMES.

10:15:46PM CARVER CITY IS A DIVERSE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY.
10:15:51PM AND WE HAVE WATCHED THE CHANGES.
10:15:54PM THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THIS AREA IS ALREADY STRETCHED TO THE
10:15:58PM LIMIT WITH WATER PRESSURE FLUCTUATIONS AND A MAXED OUT POWER
10:16:04PM GRID WHICH CAUSES TEMPORARY POWER OUTAGES.
10:16:08PM HOW FAR CAN YOU STRETCH THE EXISTING UTILITIES AND TRAFFIC?
10:16:12PM I'M HERE TO ASK YOU TO PROTECT THIS AREA.
10:16:17PM PLEASE NOTE THE PAGE ON THE SCREEN, WHICH IS DIRECTLY FROM
10:16:28PM THE CURRENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REGARDING PROPERTY RIGHT.
10:16:32PM I SPECIFICALLY WANT TO POINT OUT THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES.
10:16:39PM PR GOAL ONE, ACKNOWLEDGE PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS TO ENSURE
10:16:44PM THEIR CONSIDERATION IN THE LOCAL DECISION MAKING PROCESSES
10:16:48PM OF THE CITY OF TAMPA.
10:16:49PM PR OBJECTIVE 1.1, RESPECT PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS IN THE
10:16:55PM CITY OF TAMPA.
10:16:56PM PR POLICY 1.1.1, THE FOLLOWING RIGHTS SHALL BE CONSIDERED IN
10:17:03PM LOCAL DECISION MAKING PROCESS.
10:17:05PM THE FIRST ONE IS THE RIGHT OF A PROPERTY OWNER TO PHYSICALLY
10:17:09PM POSSESS AND CONTROL HIS OR HER INTERESTS IN THE PROPERTY,
10:17:14PM INCLUDING EASEMENTS, LEASES, OR MINERAL RIGHTS.
10:17:20PM THE SECOND RIGHT IS THE RIGHT OF A PROPERTY OWNER TO USE,
10:17:25PM MAINTAIN, DEVELOP, AND IMPROVE HIS OR HER PROPERTY FOR
10:17:30PM PERSONAL USE OR FOR USE OF ANY OTHER PERSON.
10:17:34PM SUBJECT TO STATE LAW AND LOCAL ORDINANCES.
10:17:37PM 3, THE RIGHT OF PROPERTY OWNER TO PRIVACY OR TO EXCLUDE

10:17:43PM OTHERS FROM THE PROPERTY TO PROTECT THE OWNER'S POSSESSIONS
10:17:49PM AND PROPERTY.
10:17:51PM NUMBER 4, THE RIGHT OF A PROPERTY OWNER TO DISPOSE OF HIS OR
10:17:55PM HER PROPERTY THROUGH SALE OR GIFT.
10:18:00PM I ASK TO PLEASE DENY THIS REQUEST AND PROTECT THE PROPERTY
10:18:04PM RIGHTS OF THIS AREA.
10:18:05PM THANK YOU.
10:18:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
10:18:07PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:18:07PM NEXT SPEAKER, COME ON UP.
10:18:35PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF YOU CAN ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR NAME, JOSEPH
10:18:38PM CAMBRIDGE.
10:18:38PM DEGRA CAMBRIDGE NATHAN.
10:18:44PM MARYANNE AL VEDA.
10:18:47PM JAMES.
10:18:50PM FOUR NAMES FOR A TOTAL OF SEVEN MINUTES.
10:19:01PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE HAVE SPEAKER WAIVER FORMS?
10:19:03PM NO.
10:19:05PM OKAY.
10:19:13PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
10:19:14PM GO AHEAD.
10:19:15PM >> MY NAME IS ANA HAYA LINA.
10:19:18PM 4209 WEST UNION STREET WHICH IS A PROPERTY ADJACENT TO THE
10:19:23PM PROPOSED SITE.
10:19:24PM I HAVE SUBMITTED SEVERAL E-MAILS TO THE COUNCIL.

10:19:29PM AS YOU CAN TELL FROM THOSE E-MAILS I AM OPPOSED TO THE
10:19:32PM PROJECT HAVING SEVERAL MAJOR CONCERNS FOR MY WELL-BEING, FOR
10:19:36PM MY PROPERTY AND THOSE OF MY COMMUNITY.
10:19:38PM ONE OF THE POINTS THE PETITIONER DELIVERS IN SUPPORT OF
10:19:43PM THEIR PROJECT IS EXISTENCE OF MULTIPLE COMMERCIAL AND
10:19:47PM MULTIFAMILY SITES IN THAT AREA.
10:19:50PM AND TO THIS I SAY EXACTLY.
10:19:52PM AND WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH?
10:19:54PM AND WHERE IS THE BOUNDARY?
10:19:57PM THIS SITE ADJACENT TO SINGLE-FAMILY, AT WHICH POINT IT IS
10:20:02PM ENOUGH AND WE THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY, THE PEOPLE OF EXISTING
10:20:06PM NEIGHBORHOOD AND OUR WELL-BEING MATTER MORE.
10:20:10PM WHAT I FIND VERY INTERESTING TODAY IS THAT IN THE ORDINANCE,
10:20:14PM SPOKEN BEFORE ME WAS A PERSON FROM ONE OF THOSE MULTIFAMILY,
10:20:19PM MULTI-DENSITY PROPERTIES, WHO WE ALWAYS REFER, WELL, THEY
10:20:24PM ARE ALREADY THERE.
10:20:25PM GOOD TO PUT IT THERE BUT SHE IS ACTUALLY AGAINST THE
10:20:28PM PROJECT.
10:20:29PM I FIND IT VERY INTERESTING.
10:20:30PM ALSO, I FIND THAT THE DEVELOPER REFERRING TO OTHER
10:20:33PM FIVE-STORY PROPERTIES BEING IN THE AREA, WELL, THAT'S KIND
10:20:39PM OF A DIFFERENT STORY BECAUSE THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT IS
10:20:42PM ADJACENT TO SINGLE-FAMILIES.
10:20:45PM THERE'S ONLY LITERALLY ONE.
10:20:46PM NOVUS APARTMENTS.

10:20:51PM NO OTHER ONES ARE ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL.
10:20:54PM THEY ARE ONLY ALONG BOYSCOUT AND COMMERCIAL.
10:20:58PM ONE OF MY MAJOR CONCERNS IS FOR THE PRIVACY AND SAFETY OF MY
10:21:02PM FAMILY, MY NEIGHBORS, AND THE CHILDREN.
10:21:05PM LOOKING AT THE HEIGHT OF THE PROPOSED MASSIVE BUILDING ON
10:21:09PM SUCH A SMALL PARCEL, WHERE IS THE COMPLIANCE WITH THE
10:21:14PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN USE POLICIES, SPECIFICALLY 616 TALKING --
10:21:21PM YOU HAVE A COPY.
10:21:22PM HIGHLIGHTS, PARAPHRASING, INTRODUCTION OF HIGH DENSITY
10:21:25PM DEVELOPMENT ALONG PARTICULAR RESIDENTIAL USE MUST ENSURE
10:21:28PM REQUIRED BUILDING SETBACKS FROM ABUT SINGLE-FAMILY BUILDING
10:21:33PM HEIGHT FROM SO I HAVE USES TO PROTECT PRIVACY AND SOLAR
10:21:38PM ACCESS.
10:21:38PM THE REQUESTED HEIGHT AND WAIVER TO BRING THIS BUILDING SO
10:21:42PM MUCH CLOSER TO US, THE RESIDENTS, DISREGARD ANY RESPECT FOR
10:21:45PM THESE POLICY.
10:21:47PM THE PROJECT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THIS POLICY AND WHICH MAKES
10:21:50PM IT INCONSISTENT.
10:21:52PM AS A RESIDENT AND A MOTHER, I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED FOR
10:21:55PM INVASION OF MY PRIVACY AS A RESULT OF THE HEIGHTS, OF THE
10:21:59PM HEIGHT OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING.
10:22:01PM WE HAVE ADDRESSED WITH THE DEVELOPER MULTIPLE TIMES ASKING
10:22:04PM TO ADHERE TO THE CODE POLICIES AND SCALE IT DOWN.
10:22:08PM PLEASE DENY THE SETBACK WAIVERS.
10:22:10PM ANOTHER VITAL CONCERN OF MYSELF AND NEIGHBORS IS FOR THE

10:22:14PM STRUCTURAL STABILITY OF OUR HOMES AND FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO
10:22:18PM FEEL SAFE IN OUR HOMES.
10:22:20PM THE AREA OF CARVER CITY IS PRONE TO BEING A LANDFILL SITE
10:22:30PM OFFICIAL RECORDED SINKHOLES.
10:22:31PM THESE ARE THE AREAS OF PEOPLE AND HOUSES IN DIRECT CONTACT
10:22:35PM WITH THESE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THEIR CONCERNS FOR STABILITY
10:22:38PM AND STRUCTURAL DAMAGES FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT.
10:22:41PM YOU'VE SEEN THE HOMEOWNERS HERE.
10:22:45PM SEVERAL FROM UNION STREET.
10:22:47PM I BROUGHT THIS UP, THE CONCERNS FOR THE GEOTECH STUDY.
10:22:53PM AND I HAVE BROUGHT UP TO THE DEVELOPER THAT WE, THE
10:22:56PM RESIDENTS OF UNION STREET FEEL THAT REQUIRED WOULD BE
10:23:02PM EXPANDED WARRANTIES FOR OUR HOMES SHOULD ANY PROJECT BE
10:23:05PM APPROVED.
10:23:05PM AND I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK.
10:23:07PM I HAVE BEEN IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH PROBABLY A THIRD OF
10:23:10PM CARVER CITY RESIDENTS, AND I HAVE WITNESSED THE TESTIMONIES
10:23:13PM OF MAJOR STRUGGLES WITH TRAFFIC IN THE AREA AND MAINTENANCE
10:23:13PM OF PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE.
10:23:21PM LOOKING AT THE ENTIRE PICTURE OF CONSTRUCTION AND THE ZONING
10:23:25PM APPROVALS IN THE AREA, THIS IS ENTIRELY TOO MANY APARTMENT
10:23:28PM COMPLEXES FOR WHAT LOIS AND SPRUCE CAN HANDLE.
10:23:32PM STRIKING OUR ATTENTION IS ALSO PLACEMENT OF A ROADWAY ALONG
10:23:36PM THE SOUTH SIDE.
10:23:38PM YES, I DO SEE SOME SPEED BUMPS THAT WE DISCUSSED WITH THE

10:23:42PM DEVELOPER BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BRING UP TO YOUR ATTENTION
10:23:44PM THAT WE NEVER SAID WE WERE OKAY WITH THE PROJECT.
10:23:46PM WE ALWAYS SAID WE DID NOT WANT IT.
10:23:49PM WE CONTINUOUSLY STATED TO THE DEVELOPER OUR CONCERNS FOR
10:23:51PM NOISE, POLLUTION, TRAFFIC ISSUE, ACCIDENTS, AND GENERAL
10:23:55PM FEELING OF PEACE OF MIND.
10:23:58PM THE CODE PROVISIONS ARE THERE TO SAFEGUARD OUR WELL-BEING,
10:24:01PM ALLOCATION OF 25 FEET OF SETBACK FOR THE ROAD.
10:24:04PM PLEASE DENY THE WAIVER TO PLACE IT AT 15.
10:24:07PM IT IS BECOMING MORE DIFFICULT TO LIVE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD
10:24:10PM THAT ONCE WAS QUIET WITH ENJOYABLE AIRSPACE AND PRIVACY.
10:24:15PM MOVING IS NOT AN OPTION.
10:24:17PM FOR A LOT OF RESIDENTS, MYSELF AND YOU KNOW WHAT, WE
10:24:20PM SHOULDN'T HAVE TO.
10:24:21PM WE SHOULD ENJOY OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:24:23PM MANY RESIDENTS OF CONSERVER CITY HISTORICALLY ARE VETERANS.
10:24:28PM NEW RESIDENTS -- THEM AND US HAVE BEEN SUPPORTING OUR CITY
10:24:33PM BY PAYING TAXES FOR YEARS AND WE FEEL WE SHOULD BE PROTECTED
10:24:36PM FROM DAMAGES OF OVER DEVELOPMENT AND DEVELOPMENT WHEN
10:24:40PM ADJACENT TO SINGLE-FAMILIES.
10:24:42PM EITHER THE DEVELOPER IS GRANTED THE WAIVERS, WHAT ARE WE,
10:24:46PM THE EXISTING RESIDENTS GRANTED?
10:24:48PM WHAT ARE WE GETTING FROM THIS?
10:24:51PM AND WHAT WILL MAINTAIN OUR WELL-BEING?
10:24:53PM THE DEVELOPER SHOWED SOME PICTURES EARLIER HERE, AND THEM

10:25:00PM COUNTING AS PART OF MY PROPERTY, BACKYARD, AS PART OF THE
10:25:05PM SETBACK, OH, IT'S REALLY LOOKING AT THE 70 FEET SETBACK, I
10:25:09PM FIND IT APPALLING TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
10:25:15PM I PLEAD FOR THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL TO PLEASE DENY THIS
10:25:20PM PROJECT AS PROPOSED.
10:25:21PM PLEASE.
10:25:22PM DO I HAVE MORE TIME.
10:25:25PM ONE MINUTE.
10:25:28PM OKAY.
10:25:28PM I JUST WANTED TO REITERATE HOW I REALLY DID SPEAK TO SO MANY
10:25:37PM RESIDENTS FACE TO FACE AND SO MANY SHOW FEAR AND CONCERNS
10:25:42PM FOR IT BEING OVERCROWDED, OVERPOPULATED.
10:25:47PM WE UNDERSTAND THE DEVELOPMENT.
10:25:48PM WE DO.
10:25:49PM THIS IS THE TENDENCY, BUT OUR STREETS SPECIFICALLY IN THIS
10:25:54PM NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY ARE JUST NOT THERE TO SUSTAIN THAT.
10:25:58PM I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CHRIS A LOT AND I WOULD LIKE TO
10:26:01PM SAY THAT WE'VE ALWAYS SAID THAT WE HAVE CONCERNS FOR WHAT IT
10:26:07PM IS.
10:26:07PM THIS IS WAY TOO BIG OF A PROJECT ON SUCH A SMALL PARCEL
10:26:12PM ADJACENT TO RESIDENTS.
10:26:13PM ONLY LITERALLY ONE THAT SOMEHOW GOT APPROVED, NOVUS.
10:26:17PM BUT IT IS ACTUALLY MUCH SMALLER.
10:26:19PM IT'S ONLY 250 SOMETHING UNITS.
10:26:22PM THIS ONE IS 313.

10:26:24PM THANK YOU.
10:26:24PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
10:26:25PM CARROLL ANN BENNETT AND THE LAST SPEAKER WILL BE STEPHANIE
10:26:29PM POYNOR.
10:26:30PM WE'LL GO TO REBUTTAL AFTER THAT.
10:27:16PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
10:27:17PM GO AHEAD.
10:27:18PM STATE YOUR NAME.
10:27:20PM >> MY NAME IS CARROLL ANN BENNETT.
10:27:22PM SHOULD NOT APPROVE FIVE WAIVERS BECAUSE THIS PROJECT DOES
10:27:26PM NOT NEED FIVE WAIVERS.
10:27:28PM THIS IS RMU 100.
10:27:30PM THEY CAN PUT ALL OF THIS MASSING ON LOIS AND ON SPRUCE.
10:27:34PM THAT'S WHERE IT BELONGS INSTEAD OF LOOMING OVER FAMILIES'
10:27:37PM BACKYARDS.
10:27:39PM IF THEY DO THAT THEY DON'T NEED TO REDUCE MULTIPLE SETBACKS.
10:27:43PM IF THEY DO THAT, THE CONSTRUCTION IS FARTHER FROM HOMES AND
10:27:47PM LESS LIKELY TO DAMAGE FOUNDATIONS.
10:27:49PM LAST YEAR, STAFF TOLD THEM TO REDUCE THE HEIGHT NEXT TO
10:27:53PM FAMILIES AND MOVE IT TO SPRUCE.
10:27:56PM BUT NOT ONLY DID THEY NOT DO THAT, THEY WANT YOU TO GIVE
10:27:59PM THEM A WAIVER TO MOVE THOSE MASSIVE BUILDINGS CLOSER TO
10:28:04PM FAMILIES AND THEY WANT ANOTHER WAIVER TO MOVE THE ROAD
10:28:07PM CLOSER TO THOSE FAMILY HOMES.
10:28:08PM RESIDENTS ARE TERRIFIED THAT THIS MAJOR CONSTRUCTION WILL

10:28:12PM DAMAGE THEIR FOUNDATION.
10:28:14PM YET THIS BUILDER WANTS A WAIVER TO MOVE THAT MASSIVE
10:28:17PM CONSTRUCTION CLOSER TO THEIR FOUNDATIONS.
10:28:20PM IF YOU DENY THAT WAIVER, YOU WILL ALSO SAVE A 29-INCH LIVE
10:28:26PM OAK THAT IS RATED B-5.
10:28:28PM A B-5 ALMOST GRAND LIVE OAK IS PRACTICALLY A UNICORN, A
10:28:34PM UNICORN THAT GIVES VALUABLE SHADE TO THE SIDEWALK ON LOIS
10:28:37PM MAKING IT MORE WALKABLE.
10:28:39PM THERE ARE THREE BIG BEAUTIFUL LIVE OAKS ON SPRUCE STREET
10:28:43PM THAT STAFF PRACTICALLY BEGGED THE BUILDER TO SAVE BECAUSE
10:28:46PM THAT SHADE MAKES SPRUCE MORE WALKABLE.
10:28:49PM THE BUILDER MUST REPLACE THEM WITH SHORTER TYPE THREE TREES
10:28:52PM BECAUSE THEY WILL PLANT THEM CLOSER THAN THE EXISTING OAKS
10:28:55PM ARE TO THE POWER LINES.
10:28:56PM EXISTING OAKS ARE PRUNED A LITTLE BUT THEY ARE THRIVING.
10:29:00PM ASK THE CITY'S FORESTER. THEY NEED ANOTHER WAIVER TO PLANT
10:29:05PM SHORT TREES.
10:29:06PM DENY THAT WAIVER.
10:29:07PM OTHERWISE, WE'LL ALL BE DEAD BEFORE THAT SIDEWALK IS SHADED
10:29:10PM AGAIN.
10:29:11PM MAKE A CUTOFF AND CREATE AN AMAZING GREENSPACE WITH
10:29:14PM BEAUTIFUL SHADE AND BENCHES.
10:29:16PM THIS IS RMU 100.
10:29:17PM THEY CAN CHANGE THE BUILDINGS AND CREATE A PEACEFUL OASIS
10:29:21PM THAT BENEFITS ALL OF US.

10:29:22PM THEY CAN MOVE DANGEROUS CONSTRUCTION AWAY FROM THE FAMILY'S
10:29:25PM FOUNDATIONS.
10:29:25PM THEY CAN SAVE THE PRICELESS OAK ON LOIS.
10:29:29PM THEY HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY TO DO ALL OF THAT.
10:29:32PM THIS NEIGHBORHOOD DESERVES A QUALITY, THOUGHTFUL DEVELOPMENT
10:29:36PM THAT RESPECTS THEM AND THEIR PROPERTY AND THEIR PEACE OF
10:29:40PM MIND.
10:29:41PM WHY DOESN'T THE BUILDER OBEY THE CODE?
10:29:44PM IF THE REASON FOR NOT RESPECTING THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS
10:29:48PM PROFIT, REMEMBER, PROFIT IS NOT COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL
10:29:53PM EVIDENCE.
10:29:53PM AND COUNCIL IS PROHIBITED FROM CONSIDERING IT.
10:29:56PM IF THEY CAN'T BUILD ON RMU 100 WITHOUT WAIVERS, THEN THEY
10:30:02PM AREN'T TRYING.
10:30:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:30:05PM THE LAST SPEAKER IS STEPHANIE POYNOR.
10:30:10PM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
10:30:21PM >> STEPHANIE POYNOR.
10:30:22PM YOU KNOW I LOVE TO HANG OUT IN THIS PARKING LOT.
10:30:25PM THIS IS A PICTURE TAKEN FROM 40 FEET AWAY FROM THE BUILDING,
10:30:28PM WHICH IS WHERE THE MAYOR'S PARKING LOT STARTS.
10:30:37PM THIS IS A PICTURE TAKEN FROM 79 FEET AWAY FROM THE BUILDING,
10:30:41PM WHICH IS WHERE THE SETBACKS SHOULD BE.
10:30:44PM SO YOU HAVE TO GO NINE FEET CLOSER WHICH WILL PUT YOU AT THE
10:30:49PM FIRST ELECTRIC CAR CHARGING STATION.

10:30:53PM JUST THINK, AND THIS BUILDING IS 146 FEET HIGH, BUT WHEN YOU
10:30:57PM GET UP TO, THIS ONE, TWO, THREE, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, YOU SEE
10:31:03PM WHO IS LOOKING OVER THESE PEOPLE HOUSES.
10:31:06PM YOU KNOW WHAT, THEIR SETBACK IS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS
10:31:10PM BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE DESERVE TO BE ABLE TO GO IN THEIR
10:31:13PM BACKYARD AND HAVE A BARBEQUE OR LAY OUT IN THEIR BACKYARD
10:31:16PM AND GET A SUNTAN.
10:31:18PM THEY DESERVE TO HAVE THAT KIND OF PRIVACY.
10:31:20PM I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT TO YOU THAT THIS IS THE MAXIMUM.
10:31:25PM THIS IS A MAXIMUM.
10:31:26PM SO THEY ARE ASKING FOR THE MAXIMUM THEY CAN GET, YET THERE'S
10:31:30PM NOT ONE AFFORDABLE UNIT.
10:31:32PM 313 UNITS, NOT ONE AFFORDABLE.
10:31:35PM I THINK THAT SHOWS GREED.
10:31:38PM LIKE TO POINT OUT THERE'S NOT ONE SINGLE, SOLITARY INCH OF
10:31:44PM MIXED USE.
10:31:45PM SORRY, NOT SORRY.
10:31:47PM IT'S EMBARRASSING.
10:31:50PM IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S REPORT, IT POINTS OUT -- AND
10:31:55PM THIS IS ON A CORRIDOR WHERE IT SHOULD BE MIXED USE.
10:31:59PM BUT NOT ONE SQUARE FOOT OF MIXED USE.
10:32:02PM THEY ARE MAXING THEM OUT THIS.
10:32:06PM I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO ALSO ASK MR. THOMAS TO BRING BACK
10:32:10PM THE PICTURE OF THE HOUSE ON THIS CORNER RIGHT HERE.
10:32:15PM BECAUSE IT SHOWS YOU, IT'S A ACROSS THE STREET, SO IT HAS TO

10:32:19PM BE AT LEAST 40 FEET WIDE.
10:32:21PM IT'S ACTUALLY PROBABLY FURTHER THAN THAT.
10:32:22PM BUT IT SHOWS YOU HOW GARGANTUAN THESE UNITS ARE THAT ARE
10:32:27PM ACROSS THE STREET, ACROSS LOIS, AND I THINK THEY ARE ONLY
10:32:33PM FIVE STORIES.
10:32:33PM THEY ARE NOT EVEN SEVEN STORIES.
10:32:35PM BUT IT DWARFS -- HE HAD EXCELLENT PICTURES OF HOW THE UNITS
10:32:39PM THAT ARE THERE NOW ARE DWARFING THOSE AND THEY ARE MUCH
10:32:43PM FURTHER AWAY.
10:32:44PM THE SETBACKS, YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T START AT YOUR BATHROOM
10:32:49PM WINDOW.
10:32:50PM YOU GET TO HAVE A BACKYARD.
10:32:52PM MR. THOMAS SHOWED THOSE, PLEASE ASK HIM FOR THOSE.
10:32:56PM AND YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT ONE IN 2012, I GUARANTEE IF IT CAME
10:33:02PM AROUND AGAIN TODAY IT WOULD HAVE TO HAVE BETTER SETBACKS.
10:33:06PM THERE WERE A LOT OF THINGS THAT WENT ON IN THE CITY FOR A
10:33:09PM LONG, LONG TIME THAT THEY IGNORED THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:33:11PM I CAME TO THIS SCHOOL EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR FOUR YEARS AND
10:33:14PM PICKED UP MY KIDS.
10:33:15PM THIS IS A LINE EVERY SINGLE DAY AFTER SCHOOL.
10:33:19PM THERE'S AT LEAST 150 CARS.
10:33:21PM PROBABLY MORE NOW BECAUSE ROLAND PARK HAS GOTTEN A LITTLE
10:33:23PM BIT BIGGER.
10:33:24PM I COUNTED THEM PERSONALLY.
10:33:27PM THANK YOU.

10:33:27PM PLEASE DENY THIS PROJECT.
10:33:28PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:33:29PM >> IT'S PURE GREED.
10:33:30PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKEYDOKEY.
10:33:33PM [ LAUGHTER ]
10:33:33PM NOW WE HAVE REBUTTAL.
10:33:39PM >> TYLER HUDSON, FOR THE RECORD.
10:33:42PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE WE GO TO REBUTTAL?
10:33:45PM >> I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS FIRST.
10:33:48PM PROBABLY MORE EFFICIENT.
10:33:50PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.
10:33:51PM I'M LOOKING AT THIS MAP WHICH IS AN OVERHEAD MAP AND THERE
10:33:56PM ARE A VARIETY OF APARTMENT COMPLEXES BUILT IN THE LAST, I
10:33:59PM DON'T KNOW, DECADE.
10:34:01PM SOME SAY NO ABUTTING SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
10:34:06PM I'M LOOKING AT WHERE VISCONTI IS AT, AND I KNOW THERE IS A
10:34:11PM PARK BEHIND THERE.
10:34:11PM I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES THERE.
10:34:13PM VARELA.
10:34:17PM I SEE A HANDFUL ON SPRUCE AND MAYBE A COUPLE ON LOIS.
10:34:22PM NOVUS, I THINK THERE ARE A FEW ON MAIN STREET -- SORRY,
10:34:28PM MILLENNIUM WESTSHORE, NOVUS, I SEE THAT THERE ARE
10:34:32PM SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ABUTTING.
10:34:34PM SOCIETY AND MET WEST.
10:34:37PM SO THE TWO PROPERTIES THAT I SEE THAT HAVE SINGLE-FAMILY

10:34:40PM HOMES ABUTTING ARE NOVUS, WESTSHORE, WHICH HAS THE HOUSES ON
10:34:46PM MAIN STREET AND THEN THIS PROJECT SITE WHICH HAS THE HOUSES
10:34:49PM ON UNION.
10:34:52PM >> THAT'S RIGHT.
10:34:53PM I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANY QUARREL WITH THIS MAP.
10:34:59PM I DON'T HAVE ANY REASON TO DOUBT IT IS ACCURATE.
10:35:01PM THIS IS WHAT DEVELOPING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE
10:35:04PM PLAN THAT YOU ALL INHERITED LOOKS LIKE.
10:35:10PM RMU 100, THE MOST DENSE CATEGORY.
10:35:13PM I THINK THERE IS A LOT DISCOMFORT ABOUT HOW THESE KIND OF --
10:35:13PM CAN OCCUR WHEN YOU HAVE RMU 100 NEXT TO SOMETHING LOWER
10:35:18PM DENSITY.
10:35:18PM YOU ARE ABOUT TO GO THROUGH A COMPREHENSIVE REWRITE OF YOUR
10:35:22PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
10:35:22PM BUT THIS IS NOT AN ACCIDENT.
10:35:24PM I WANT TO REALLY BE CLEAR ABOUT ONE THING.
10:35:25PM WE'RE NOT ARGUING THAT BECAUSE YOU'VE APPROVED SEVEN
10:35:29PM APARTMENTS IN THE AREA YOU MUST DEVELOP THIS 8th, AS IF
10:35:33PM THERE'S SOME MAGIC MOMENTUM THAT OCCURS.
10:35:36PM THAT'S NOT AT ALL WHAT WE'RE SAYING.
10:35:38PM WE'RE SAYING THE LAND IS RMU 100.
10:35:40PM IT'S BEEN KNOWN FOR A VERY, VERY LONG TIME THAT THIS IS THE
10:35:43PM HIGHEST DENSITY LAND USE CATEGORY IN THIS AREA.
10:35:46PM THAT'S WHY THE BUILDINGS ARE THERE.
10:35:48PM I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.

10:35:51PM I FEEL LIKE OUR MESSAGE MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN A LITTLE BIT
10:35:53PM MISCOMMUNICATED.
10:35:54PM WE AREN'T ARGUING MOMENTUM.
10:35:56PM WE ARE ARGUING THE LAW.
10:35:58PM THIS IS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AGAIN, THAT YOUR
10:36:01PM PREDECESSORS PROVIDED YOU.
10:36:04PM I HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION.
10:36:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN ZONED -- THE RMU
10:36:11PM 100.
10:36:14PM >> I WOULD ASK MR. COLLINS THAT, PROBABLY.
10:36:19PM >> DANNY COLLINS WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
10:36:22PM THIS WAS LIKELY THE ORIGINAL -- IT WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNATED
10:36:30PM RMU 100 BACK IN THE '80s.
10:36:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THE ORIGINAL ZONING CLASSIFICATION PUT
10:36:36PM IN PLACE.
10:36:36PM >> CORRECT, YEAH.
10:36:38PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
10:36:38PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:36:39PM ALL RIGHT, MR. HUDSON.
10:36:41PM COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
10:36:44PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I DON'T KNOW WHO IS BEST TO ANSWER THESE
10:36:47PM QUESTIONS.
10:36:48PM ACTUALLY, THAT WAS ONE OF MY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FUTURE LAND
10:36:51PM USE AND RMU 100.
10:36:53PM SO CURRENTLY, THIS IS ZONED PD.

10:36:59PM WHAT IS RIGHT NOW, IT'S ONLY PD -- WAS IT PD FOR WHAT'S ON
10:37:05PM THERE TODAY?
10:37:06PM >> NO, IT IS PD FOR A DEVELOPMENT THAT DIDN'T EXACTLY OCCUR.
10:37:10PM I CAN PUT THAT ON SCREEN.
10:37:12PM THIS IS WHEN PDs WERE A LITTLE BIT MORE SIMPLE.
10:37:18PM SO THIS BUILDING PROPOSED ABOUT 130,000 SQUARE FOOT
10:37:23PM BUILDING, SEVEN STORY TALL.
10:37:26PM SEVEN STORY PARKING GARAGE.
10:37:28PM THE DRIVEWAY, 15 FEET IN FROM THE PROPERTY LINE.
10:37:31PM THAT IS THE SAME THING WE'RE REQUESTING HERE.
10:37:33PM IN TERMS OF THE USES, NOTHING I WOULD POINT TO AS HORRIFIC.
10:37:38PM DRY CLEANING STATION, I DON'T THINK THAT'S VERY LIKELY.
10:37:41PM IT WAS RETAIL OFFICE, PROBABLY WHAT YOU WOULD KIND OF
10:37:44PM CONSIDER COMMERCIAL GENERAL USES BACK BEFORE WE HAD 163
10:37:49PM DIFFERENT USES IN OUR ZONING CODE, BUT RESIDENTIAL IS NOT
10:37:52PM CURRENTLY ALLOWED.
10:37:53PM I DON'T WANT TO GIVE ANY SENSE OF THAT.
10:37:59PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: NOT CONSTRUCTED BUT APPROVED, SO A PD
10:38:04PM APPROVED FOR A SEVEN STORY BUILDING.
10:38:06PM >> THAT'S RIGHT.
10:38:07PM YEP.
10:38:08PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SETBACK DISTANCES ARE?
10:38:11PM >> THESE ARE 70.
10:38:13PM 70 FROM THE PROPERTY LINE TO THE FACE OF THE BUILDING.
10:38:15PM THIS IS BEFORE THERE WAS ANY TYPE OF WEDDING CAKE, THE

10:38:19PM VERTICAL SETBACK, AFTER X FEET, YOU GO BACK AT A Y SLOPE.
10:38:24PM SO, YEAH, THESE ARE TWO PRETTY GOOD SIZE BUILDINGS.
10:38:27PM THE PARKING GARAGE IS EIGHT LEVELS.
10:38:30PM BUT PROBABLY WOULD ONLY LOOK LIKE SEVEN STORIES.
10:38:33PM THAT'S WHAT IS ALLOWED.
10:38:35PM THE DUMPSTERS ARE THERE.
10:38:36PM THERE ARE SOME THINGS ABOUT THE SITE THAT EVEN THOUGH IT
10:38:39PM WASN'T BUILT LIKE THIS DO RESEMBLE EXISTING CONDITIONS.
10:38:43PM DRIVE AISLE TO THE SOUTH.
10:38:45PM THAT'S ALREADY THERE.
10:38:46PM THAT'S ALREADY ALLOWED.
10:38:48PM EXPOSED DUMPSTER.
10:38:50PM RIGHT NOW, YOU HAVE TWO DUMPSTERS, PRETTY CLOSE TO THE
10:38:53PM PROPERTY LINE.
10:38:54PM THERE IS AN OPEN STORMWATER SWALE THAT'S LITERALLY ON THE
10:38:56PM PROPERTY LINE FOR THE FOLKS CURRENTLY IT'S RIGHT HERE.
10:38:59PM THAT MIGHT CORRESPOND TO WHAT WAS THIS THERE IS A SECOND
10:39:11PM BUILDING THERE.
10:39:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU FOUND A MARKET FOR COMMERCIAL
10:39:14PM PROPERTY, THEY COULD BUILD THIS BY RIGHT.
10:39:16PM >> THAT'S RIGHT.
10:39:16PM YOU COULD BUILD 130,000-SQUARE-FOOT BUILDING BY RIGHT.
10:39:20PM IN REBUTTAL, I'LL ASK STEVE TO COME UP AND TALK ABOUT THE
10:39:24PM TRAFFIC CONSEQUENCES OF THAT.
10:39:25PM 130,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING, IF YOU DID FILL IT WITH

10:39:29PM RESTAURANTS, OFFICE, WHICH THERE IS A MARKET FOR OFFICE IN
10:39:33PM WESTSHORE, IT WOULD GENERATE MORE TRAFFIC IMPACTS.
10:39:36PM I WOULD LIKE STEVE TO SAY THAT WITH HIS MOUTH AND WORDS.
10:39:41PM HE IS AN EXPERT.
10:39:42PM THIS IS BY RIGHT.
10:39:44PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ONE MORE QUESTION, PROBABLY FOR STAFF.
10:39:47PM THERE WERE A LOT OF FOLKS FROM THE COMMUNITY CONCERNED ABOUT
10:39:49PM THE GEOLOGICAL CONDITION OF THESE PROPERTIES.
10:39:53PM IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN CONSIDER IN THIS?
10:39:56PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATE.
10:39:58PM THAT HAPPENS OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF A REZONING AND ANYTHING
10:40:01PM THAT SHOULD BE IN YOUR CONSIDERATION.
10:40:02PM THAT WOULDN'T EVEN BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION DURING THE
10:40:05PM BUILDING PERMIT PHASE.
10:40:06PM THAT WOULD BE BETWEEN A DEVELOPER AND THE RESIDENCE SHOULD
10:40:11PM ANYTHING OCCUR.
10:40:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
10:40:14PM >>LYNN HURTAK: DON'T GO ANYWHERE.
10:40:19PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK.
10:40:23PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I'M USING THIS MAP, IF YOU HAVE IT.
10:40:34PM EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE THAT HAS BEEN POINTED OUT IS IN
10:40:40PM RMU 100, CORRECT?
10:40:44PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: I WOULD DEFER TO DANNY.
10:40:47PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I'LL ASK HIM FIRST AND THEN I HAVE ANOTHER
10:40:49PM QUESTION.

10:41:28PM >> IT APPEARS ALL THESE ARE DESIGNATED AS RMU 100.
10:41:35PM >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY.
10:41:35PM THEN MY NEXT QUESTION, FROM YOUR PICTURES, MR. THOMAS, THAT
10:41:40PM YOU SHOWED US, THE HIGHEST I SAW AN APARTMENT COMPLEX
10:41:50PM SURROUNDING WAS FIVE STORIES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF LOIS.
10:41:57PM >> FIVE STORIES ON.
10:41:58PM >>LYNN HURTAK: AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF SPRUCE AND LOIS.
10:42:02PM VARELA, YES.
10:42:10PM SO THAT'S FIVE STORIES.
10:42:13PM >> I CAN'T REMEMBER OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD IS --
10:42:16PM >>LYNN HURTAK: WHAT ABOUT NOVUS?
10:42:22PM >> THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO LOOK UP REAL QUICK.
10:42:26PM 64 FEET FOR NOVUS APPEARS TO BE.
10:42:45PM PARKING GARAGE SIX STORIES.
10:42:47PM I HAVE A PICTURE OF THE PARKING GARAGE SOMEWHERE THAT I CAN
10:42:50PM SHOW YOU.
10:42:50PM IT LOOKS LIKE THE PARKING GARAGE IS SEVEN STORIES.
10:43:20PM >>LYNN HURTAK: GOING BACK TO MR. COLLINS OR, I GUESS, WE'LL
10:43:23PM SEE WHICH ONE OF CAN YOU ANSWER THIS.
10:43:28PM RMU 100, HOW MANY OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS HAVE BEEN BUILT OUT
10:43:35PM TO THE FULL RMU 100 ALLOWABILITY?
10:43:44PM >> I DON'T HAVE THAT ANALYSIS IN FRONT OF US.
10:43:47PM IT WASN'T SOMETHING WE PROVIDED IN OUR REPORT.
10:43:50PM >>LYNN HURTAK: NOT A PROBLEM.
10:43:52PM JUST CURIOUS.

10:43:53PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE WILL NOW KICK IT OFF --
10:43:56PM >> CAN I CLARIFY THAT AS WELL?
10:43:58PM I DID NOTE IN OUR REPORT THAT THE RMU 100 ALLOWS UP TO 3.5
10:44:07PM F.A.R.
10:44:08PM THIS REQUEST IS ONLY FOR 2.62 F.A.R.
10:44:13PM IT IS WELL BELOW THE MAXIMUM THAT CAN BE ACHIEVED ON THE
10:44:18PM SITE THROUGH THE RMU 100.
10:44:18PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:44:19PM REBUTTAL WILL BEGIN BECAUSE YOU JUST ANSWERED OUR QUESTIONS.
10:44:23PM GO AHEAD, SIR.
10:44:24PM WE'LL START THE CLOCK.
10:44:28PM >> TYLER HUDSON.
10:44:30PM 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
10:44:31PM I'LL ASK STEVE HENRY, THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER, TO COME UP AND
10:44:35PM TALK ABOUT SPRUCE AND LOIS AND THE CONCERNS ABOUT THE
10:44:39PM ABILITY OF THE STREETS TO ACCOMMODATE THE ADDITIONAL
10:44:40PM DENSITY.
10:44:43PM >> STEVE HENRY.
10:44:45PM WE DID CONDUCT A TRAFFIC ANALYSIS FOR THE PROJECT IN
10:44:49PM ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR REGULATIONS, REVIEWED BY YOUR STAFF.
10:44:53PM IT WAS OBVIOUSLY RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL.
10:44:55PM WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE TRAFFIC.
10:44:58PM AS INDICATED, THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED FOR OFFICE,
10:45:04PM ACTUALLY OFFICE RETAIL.
10:45:06PM BUT THIS TRIP GENERATION COMPARISON IS WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING,

10:45:10PM WHICH IS IN GREEN, TO WHAT IS OFFICE.
10:45:14PM OFFICE AND RETAIL WOULD BE HIGHER.
10:45:16PM WE PICKED A VERY CONSERVATIVE NUMBER.
10:45:21PM IN THE MORNING YOU ARE GENERATED ABOUT 126 THE EXISTING
10:45:26PM APPROVED PD ABOUT 210.
10:45:28PM AND IN THE P.M. PEAK HOUR, ABOUT 122 WHEREAS THE EXISTING
10:45:32PM WOULD BE ABOUT 206.
10:45:34PM SO FROM A TRAFFIC STANDPOINT, ACTUALLY A REDUCTION IN THE
10:45:38PM AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT COULD BE DEVELOPED OVER WHAT IS
10:45:40PM CURRENTLY ZONED FOR THE PROPERTY.
10:45:42PM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
10:45:50PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:45:50PM PLEASE, AS THEY WERE ALL QUIET FOR EVERYBODY ELSE, PLEASE
10:45:53PM LET THEM SPEAK WITHOUT INTERRUPTION.
10:45:56PM YES, SIR, COME ON UP.
10:45:57PM >> I REALLY WANTED TO TOUCH ON ONE OF THE COMMENTS THAT
10:46:00PM RELATED TO THE OUTSIZED -- AN EFFORT TO JAM AN OUTSIZED
10:46:05PM BUILDING ON TO THIS PARCEL AND KIND OF CIRCLING BACK TO THE
10:46:09PM F.A.R. ALLOWABLE BY RIGHT AND WHAT WE'RE PURSUING HERE.
10:46:13PM WE ARE THE SECOND SMALLEST APARTMENT COMPLEX IN THE
10:46:16PM WESTSHORE AREA.
10:46:18PM AS WE TALKED ABOUT, NOVUS WAS DEVELOPED OVER TEN YEARS AGO.
10:46:21PM 313 UNITS, 2.6 FAR IS AS SMALL AS WE COULD DESIGN IT.
10:46:31PM IT WAS A PRODUCT OF A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT WITH THE
10:46:33PM NEIGHBORHOOD.

10:46:34PM WE REDUCED THE UNIT COUNT THREE TIMES AS WELL AS SOME OF THE
10:46:37PM PRIVACY MEASURES AND SUCH.
10:46:39PM IT WAS A CHALLENGE, BUT I'M VERY PROUD OF WHERE WE LANDED
10:46:45PM AND THAT IS A BY-PRODUCT OF THE WORK OF A LOT OF THE
10:46:49PM RESIDENTS THAT ARE NOT HERE TONIGHT AND THERE WERE A LOT OF
10:46:52PM THEM.
10:46:53PM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
10:46:54PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:46:55PM MR. HUDSON, ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD?
10:46:57PM >> YES, THANK YOU.
10:46:58PM IS THIS THE TIME WITH THE COUPLE MINUTES EXTRA OR IS THIS
10:47:02PM ALL I HAVE?
10:47:03PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HOW MUCH TIME IS LEFT -- THERE'S FOUR
10:47:07PM MINUTES AND 15 SECONDS THAT WEREN'T USED IN THE INITIAL
10:47:10PM PRESENTATION.
10:47:13PM >> I WON'T TRY TO USE ALL THAT.
10:47:15PM TYLER HUDSON.
10:47:16PM I WILL BE THE LAST SPEAKER.
10:47:17PM THIS IS A TOUGH ONE.
10:47:18PM THERE ARE NOT A LOT OF PARCELS THAT HAVE THIS ADJACENCY
10:47:28PM BETWEEN RMU 100 AND R 10.
10:47:30PM AND YOU ALL HAVE, I THINK, WHAT IS THE MOST INTERESTING
10:47:33PM FRONT ROW SEAT IN THE CITY BECAUSE YOU'RE SEEING THE CITY
10:47:36PM CHANGE SO RAPIDLY AND YOU'RE SEEING A PATTERN.
10:47:38PM YOU CERTAINLY SEE IT HERE TONIGHT.

10:47:40PM NEIGHBORS ARE LEERY OF MORE NEIGHBORS.
10:47:42PM YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIND A NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE CITY OF TAMPA
10:47:45PM THAT WILL ROLL THE RED CARPET OUT TO WELCOME PEOPLE BECAUSE
10:47:50PM THAT'S CHANGE AND CHANGE IS SCARY.
10:47:52PM IT'S ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THAT.
10:47:54PM THIS IS A CITY GOING THROUGH HYPERGROWTH.
10:47:56PM YOU HAVE A THERAPY GROUP WITH YOUR COLLEAGUES IN AUSTIN,
10:47:59PM RALEIGH, AND PLACES LIKE THAT EXPERIENCING THIS.
10:48:02PM WE KNOW THAT SCARCE THINGS ARE EXPENSIVE, RIGHT, WHETHER
10:48:05PM BOOKS OR WATCHES OR WINE, SCARCE THINGS ARE EXPENSIVE.
10:48:10PM AND HOUSING IS EXPENSIVE IN TAMPA BECAUSE IT IS SCARCE.
10:48:15PM IT IS SCARCE BECAUSE WE SUBJECT ITS PRODUCTION TO A FAIRLY
10:48:19PM PROLONGED AND POLITICAL, VERY PUBLIC PROCESS LIKE THIS.
10:48:22PM THERE IS A LOT OF TIME FOR INPUT BUT IT IS A CHALLENGING
10:48:26PM THING TO DO TO PRODUCE HOUSING.
10:48:27PM SEEN IT HERE WITH SOME OF THE ITEMS YOU HAD.
10:48:30PM YOU'LL INHERIT A PLAN THAT'S OLDER THAN I AM THAT CALLED FOR
10:48:34PM THE MOST DENSE DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF TAMPA TO BE HERE.
10:48:38PM THAT HAS BEEN THE PLAN ALL ALONG.
10:48:40PM THAT'S HOW IT'S DEVELOPED.
10:48:42PM THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE LARGE PROJECTS LIKE THE INTERNATIONAL
10:48:44PM MALL.
10:48:45PM YOU HAVE LARGE SCALE PREDOMINANTLY SINGLE USE OFFICE
10:48:49PM BUILDINGS, SINGLE USE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS.
10:48:51PM THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT A PARCEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE.

10:48:54PM THE INTERIOR OF CARVER CITY AND LINCOLN GARDENS, THOSE HAVE
10:48:58PM REMAINED LARGELY INTACT BECAUSE OF THE STRENGTH OF COMMUNITY
10:49:01PM YOU'VE GOT HERE BEHIND ME.
10:49:04PM THE PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY LOVE THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:49:06PM OTHER PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE HERE, TOO.
10:49:08PM HOUSING IS EXPENSIVE BECAUSE IT'S SCARCE.
10:49:10PM IF YOU DENY THE PRODUCTION OF HOUSING, YOU ONLY MAKE THE
10:49:13PM REMAINING HOUSING MORE EXPENSIVE.
10:49:15PM PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE IN NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE THIS.
10:49:17PM AGAIN, THE INTERIOR HASN'T BEEN HARMED.
10:49:19PM WE'RE NOT RAISING HOMES.
10:49:21PM THAT WAS A VERY, VERY LONG TIME AGO.
10:49:23PM WE ARE NOT GOING INTO THE MIDDLE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:49:25PM WE WOULDN'T DARE PROPOSE THAT.
10:49:27PM BUT WE ARE PROPOSING AN INTERSECTION AROUND THE RADIUS OF
10:49:30PM WHICH HAS SEEN MULTIPLE SIX, SEVEN APARTMENT COMPLEXES, YES
10:49:35PM TO DO ONE MORE, TO DO ONE SIGNIFICANTLY SCALED DOWN TO WHAT
10:49:38PM WAS ORIGINALLY PROPOSED AND THEN MODIFIED AND THEN MODIFIED
10:49:42PM AGAIN.
10:49:42PM TALKED A LOT ABOUT SETBACKS.
10:49:47PM WE TALK SO MUCH ABOUT SETBACKS, YOU FORGET WHO IS GOING TO
10:49:50PM BE INSIDE THESE THINGS.
10:49:52PM THIS IS HOUSING.
10:49:53PM THIS IS NOT THE MOST EXCITING PROJECT.
10:49:55PM IT IS A NECESSARY COMMODITY.

10:49:56PM THERE IS NO MIXED USE HERE.
10:49:58PM THIS IS AN APARTMENT COMPLEX.
10:49:59PM THIS IS WHERE SOMEONE STARTING THEIR CAREER MIGHT LIVE.
10:50:03PM SOMEBODY GETS MARRIED, NEEDS AN EXTRA BEDROOM.
10:50:06PM MAYBE DIVORCED.
10:50:07PM THIS IS HOUSING.
10:50:09PM THAT'S WHAT THIS IS.
10:50:11PM WE HAVE TRIPLED THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE START OF A BUILDING
10:50:15PM AND THE PROPERTY LINE.
10:50:16PM NOT TRIPLED, 15 FEET TO 40 FEET.
10:50:19PM ALMOST TRIPLED.
10:50:20PM WE HAVE PUSHED THAT BUILDING BACK.
10:50:22PM IT COULD BE CLOSER.
10:50:23PM THERE COULD BE A THREE STORY PARKING GARAGE 15 FEET AWAY
10:50:26PM FROM THESE PEOPLE'S REAR FENCES.
10:50:29PM WE CHOSE TO NOT DO THAT BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A HORRIBLE
10:50:32PM DESIGN, NUMBER ONE, NUMBER TWO, IT WOULD BREAK EVERY PROMISE
10:50:36PM I THINK CHRIS MADE IN TALKING TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD SO OFTEN
10:50:40PM THAT WE WOULD DO THE BEST WE COULD TO MAKE A PRODUCT THAT
10:50:43PM HONORED THE DENSITY BAKED INTO THIS LAND.
10:50:46PM THIS IS NOT A NEW THING, WITH THE CONCERNS THAT THE
10:50:48PM NEIGHBORS HAVE.
10:50:49PM A LOT OF THE CONCERNS THAT YOU HEARD TONIGHT, THEY ARE NOT
10:50:53PM ILLEGITIMATE AND COME FROM THE HEART.
10:50:58PM I THINK THEY WOULD BE APPLICABLE TO ANY TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT

10:51:00PM ON THIS SITE.
10:51:01PM NO NEIGHBORHOOD IS EXEMPT FROM THE PRESSURES OF CHANGE.
10:51:04PM NOT MANY OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS YOU LIVE IN OR MINE OR ANY
10:51:08PM OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:51:09PM TRAFFIC ON THE ROADS WILL HAPPEN.
10:51:11PM HICCUPS WITH CONSTRUCTION.
10:51:13PM THAT'S HAPPENING ALL OVER THE CITY RIGHT NOW.
10:51:15PM THE QUESTION YOU HAVE, YOU HAVE THE HIGHEST DENSITY CATEGORY
10:51:18PM FOR HOUSING.
10:51:19PM YOU HAVE A FULLY CONSISTENT STAFF REPORT WHICH CANDIDLY IS
10:51:22PM NOTHING SHORT OF A MIRACLE AND YOU HAVE A SITUATION WHERE
10:51:25PM YOU'RE PROPOSING SOMETHING LARGER IN AN APARTMENT NEXT TO
10:51:29PM SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSING AND THE SECOND AND FIRST FLOORS AREN'T
10:51:33PM FULL.
10:51:33PM I'M NOT CLAIMING THAT'S ENOUGH OF A VICTORY, BUT I'M SAYING
10:51:37PM THAT IT SHOULDN'T SURPRISE US THAT THERE'S TREPIDATION ABOUT
10:51:40PM THE GROWTH.
10:51:41PM THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S INAPPROPRIATE HERE.
10:51:43PM IT'S BEEN APPROPRIATE HERE FOR 39, 35 YEARS SINCE RMU WAS
10:51:49PM PUT ON THIS LAND.
10:51:50PM I THINK IT'S PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYING DON'T JUDGE ME TO THE
10:51:54PM ALMIGHTY.
10:51:55PM JUDGE ME TO THE ALTERNATIVES.
10:51:56PM THE ALTERNATIVES HERE AREN'T GREAT.
10:51:58PM THE ALTERNATIVE IS SOME BY RIGHT DEVELOPMENT.

10:52:00PM ALTERNATIVE IS SOME OTHER DEVELOPER, NOT GOING TO BE CHRIS
10:52:05PM -- IT'S NOT GOING TO LOOK GOOD.
10:52:08PM MAYBE WAIT UNTIL THE LAW CHANGES, LIVE LOCAL.
10:52:12PM THIS IS THE MINIMUM VIABLE DEVELOPMENT ON THIS SITE.
10:52:15PM WE BELIEVE IT IS AS SENSITIVE AS POSSIBLE TO THE NEIGHBORS
10:52:20PM AND THREADS A TINY, TINY, TINY EYE OF A NEEDLE.
10:52:24PM THAT'S WHAT THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN WORKING ON FOR A VERY LONG
10:52:27PM TIME TO GET HERE.
10:52:28PM ANY ASSERTION THAT WE WERE OUT IN THE LOBBY COOKING THIS UP
10:52:31PM AND CAME IN, THAT'S WRONG.
10:52:33PM THERE WERE A MILLION TRADEOFFS THAT WENT INTO THE
10:52:36PM DEVELOPMENT BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING.
10:52:38PM YOU HAVE A FULLY CONSISTENT STAFF REPORT.
10:52:40PM PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS FOUND IT CONSISTENT.
10:52:42PM I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ANY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD TESTIMONY THAT
10:52:44PM YOU HEARD IS A LEGAL, DEFENSIBLE BASIS TO DENY THE
10:52:50PM APPLICATION.
10:52:51PM I APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE AND STEADFASTNESS THROUGH THE
10:52:54PM EVENING.
10:52:54PM I ASK YOU ALL TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT.
10:52:56PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:52:57PM WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE HEARING?
10:53:00PM WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN,
10:53:05PM SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK.
10:53:13PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: ZONING IS FINE AND I'M SPEAKING TO

10:53:15PM EVERYBODY.
10:53:15PM ZONING IS FINE UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS.
10:53:19PM YOU HAVE A PLAN, DRAW A PLAN.
10:53:22PM WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CHANGED THE PLANNING IN THE
10:53:26PM DEVELOPMENT CODE?
10:53:27PM WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME ALL THE REVISIONS WERE REVISED?
10:53:31PM 40 YEARS AGO, 20 YEARS AGO, 30?
10:53:37PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THE LAST UPDATE WAS 2016.
10:53:39PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SO YOU HAVE THESE PLANS AND THEY WORK FOR
10:53:42PM A WHILE.
10:53:43PM ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY ARE BUILT OUT.
10:53:46PM THIS AIN'T THE END OF THIS PROBLEM.
10:53:48PM THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.
10:53:50PM WHAT'S DOWN THE STREET THAT THE CITY JUST MOVED OUT OF.
10:54:00PM BETWEEN THIS DEVELOPMENT AND HOME DEPOT.
10:54:01PM LOT OF ACREAGE OWNED BY THE CITY.
10:54:06PM WE'RE MOVING OUT OF THERE.
10:54:07PM THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR DEVELOPMENT.
10:54:10PM SO NOW THAT STAYS VACANT FOR A HUNDRED YEARS?
10:54:17PM THAT'S ALL I'M GOING TO SAY, THANK YOU.
10:54:24PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
10:54:25PM ALL IN FAVOR TO CLOSE, AYE.
10:54:27PM WE HAD A MOTION AND SECOND.
10:54:29PM I SEE COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK'S MIKE ON.
10:54:32PM >>LYNN HURTAK: WANTED TO TALK ABOUT IT FOR A LITTLE BIT.

10:54:36PM I JUST FOUND THIS -- I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH THE SETBACK,
10:54:45PM ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IN TWO RECENT DEVELOPMENTS THAT THE
10:54:51PM APPLICANT HAS BROUGHT FORWARD, IN FACT, ONE OF THEM TONIGHT
10:54:57PM TALKED ABOUT THE SLOW DECREASE IN HEIGHT CONNECTING TO
10:55:03PM SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS.
10:55:10PM TO HAVE -- THIS WAS MY INSTINCT IMMEDIATELY, WHY ISN'T THE
10:55:15PM HEIGHT NEXT TO HOMES THREE OR MAX FOUR STORIES.
10:55:19PM FIVE IS JUST SO MUCH.
10:55:21PM THERE IS A DEVELOPMENT THAT WE APPROVED AT FLORIDA AND
10:55:24PM COLUMBUS THAT ACTUALLY WENT, HAD TO GO BACK DOWN TO THREE
10:55:28PM BECAUSE OF ITS PROXIMITY TO THE NEIGHBORS.
10:55:32PM FIVE JUST -- FIVE DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT.
10:55:35PM AND WHILE WE HAVE ALLOWED -- WHILE RMU 100 IS THE RULE, WE
10:55:42PM AREN'T SEEING THIS KIND OF DEVELOPMENT NEXT TO SINGLE-FAMILY
10:55:46PM HOMES.
10:55:46PM THE THINGS WE'VE APPROVED OTHER THAN THE ONE IN 2012 WHICH
10:55:51PM WAS A LONG TIME AGO, ARE ALL AROUND NONSINGLE-FAMILY USES.
10:55:58PM AND THAT'S THE THING THAT GETS ME.
10:56:00PM BETWEEN THAT AND THE WAIVERS, I'M HAVING A HARD TIME WITH
10:56:05PM THIS ONE.
10:56:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: POLICY 1.1.2, CONTINUE TO PROTECT AND
10:56:11PM ENHANCE SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS BY PROVIDING SENSITIVE
10:56:14PM TRANSITIONS BETWEEN THESE NEIGHBORHOODS AND ADJOINING AREAS.
10:56:17PM THAT'S WHY I ASKED, THE OTHER DEVELOPMENTS, HOW MANY HAVE
10:56:20PM THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES NEXT TO THEM.

10:56:22PM MIGHT BE A COUPLE HOUSES HERE AND THERE.
10:56:24PM HERE, YOU HAVE A WHOLE ROW, WHOLE STREET.
10:56:28PM PROPERTY NEXT TO IT, ANOTHER WHOLE STREET.
10:56:31PM AS I'M SEEING FROM THE AERIAL, WHERE IT'S SINGLE-FAMILY
10:56:34PM HOMES RIGHT THERE.
10:56:35PM >>LYNN HURTAK: MASS AND SCALE.
10:56:36PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: EXACTLY.
10:56:37PM COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN.
10:56:40PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I'M KIND OF GOING IN A DIFFERENT
10:56:43PM DIRECTION, WHICH I KNOW IS UNUSUAL.
10:56:44PM A LOT OF FRIENDS WHO WOULD COME OUT TONIGHT AND TAKE THE
10:56:48PM OPPOSITE POSITION ON THIS.
10:56:49PM IF NOT THIS, THEN WHAT?
10:56:53PM I THINK THAT WAS REALLY AN APPROPRIATE QUESTION TO SAY.
10:56:59PM WE NOW KNOW THIS WAS RMU 100 SINCE THE 1980s.
10:57:04PM THIS HAD ALREADY BEEN GRANTED BY A PREVIOUS BODY AS A PD
10:57:09PM ALLOWING FOR SEVEN STORY TOWER ON THIS PROPERTY ALREADY BY
10:57:12PM RIGHT.
10:57:13PM AND IT WOULD BE A COMMERCIAL MIXED USE PROPERTY.
10:57:16PM I THINK WHAT WE'RE GETTING HUNG UP ON IS THE SINGLE-FAMILY
10:57:19PM UNITS SOUTH OF THIS.
10:57:20PM WE ALREADY HAVE THE COMPLEX JUST ADJOINING THIS THAT ABUTS
10:57:24PM SINGLE-FAMILY.
10:57:25PM BUT THAT BEING SAID, WE HAVE A STRANGE SITUATION THAT WE'VE
10:57:29PM INHERITED THAT A PREVIOUS COUNCIL HAS ADOPTED AND PREVIOUS

10:57:32PM PLANNING COMMISSION ADOPTED, THAT WE HAVE THIS VERY INTENSE
10:57:37PM LINE.
10:57:38PM THEY DID NOT, LIKE, WE ARE ENCOURAGING AS WE'RE GOING TO
10:57:41PM LOOK AT THE FUTURE LAND USE, STEP DOWN DENSITY,
10:57:45PM TRANSPORTATION, ALL THE THINGS WE TALK ABOUT, BUT THIS IS
10:57:47PM WHAT WE'VE INHERITED.
10:57:49PM I KEEP THINKING ABOUT PREVIOUS CASES THIS EVENING.
10:57:54PM I BELIEVE IT WAS COUNCILMAN MIRANDA ASKED AN APPLICANT, DID
10:57:58PM YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WERE GETTING WHEN YOU BOUGHT THIS
10:58:00PM PROPERTY?
10:58:01PM I'D ASK THE SAME THING, WHOEVER BOUGHT THIS PROPERTY, DID
10:58:04PM THEY KNOW WHAT THEY WERE GETTING?
10:58:06PM THEY HAD A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY THAT WAS PD DEVELOPED SEVEN
10:58:11PM STORY TOWER.
10:58:12PM RMU 100.
10:58:15PM THEY KIND OF KNOW THAT'S WHAT THEY GOT WHEN THEY BOUGHT THE
10:58:19PM PROPERTY.
10:58:20PM I THINK AS FAR AS DOING DUE DILIGENCE, I WOULD ASSUME THAT
10:58:23PM IF I WAS A DEVELOPER AND I WAS GOING TO PURCHASE THIS
10:58:26PM PROPERTY, I'D PROBABLY BE ABLE TO DEVELOP IT AT THIS SCALE
10:58:30PM AND DENSITY.
10:58:34PM >>LYNN HURTAK: EXCEPT IF YOU LOOK ALL AROUND IT, THEY ARE
10:58:36PM FOUR AND FIVE STORIES.
10:58:37PM EVEN IF YOU HAVE THAT INTENSITY, BUT WHAT IS SHOWING IS THAT
10:58:45PM IT'S JUST -- THAT'S ONE SMALL EXAMPLE.

10:58:50PM THE REST OF THEM ARE JUST NOT THAT HIGH YET.
10:58:53PM I DON'T THINK WE'RE AT THAT.
10:58:55PM THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, MASS AND SCALE.
10:58:57PM WE'RE NOT THERE YET.
10:58:58PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IF YOU LOOK AT THIS AREA IN A LARGER SCOPE
10:59:05PM OF LIKE WHAT IS THIS AREA, WHAT HAS IT BECOME, WHEN THERE
10:59:09PM WAS AN OLD MOTEL, INTERNATIONAL MALL WAS AND BOY SCOUT ROAD
10:59:13PM WAS A TWO LANE ROAD, THIS AREA COMPLETELY EVOLVED AND
10:59:18PM DEVELOPED INTO SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
10:59:20PM IF YOU EXPAND AND LOOK AT THIS AS A WHOLE, YOU'LL SEE A LOT
10:59:26PM OF PROJECTS IN THE AREA THAT ARE MUCH TALLER THAN THAT.
10:59:29PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THEY ARE NOT NEXT TO SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
10:59:34PM SORRY.
10:59:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU HAVE TO DRAW A LINE SOMEWHERE.
10:59:37PM WHEN THEY DID THE FUTURE LAND USE, A COUNCIL BEFORE US DREW
10:59:41PM A LINE THERE.
10:59:42PM THEY ACTUALLY DID A FUTURE LAND USE OF THIS RMU 100 NEXT TO
10:59:46PM THE LEAST DENSE SINGLE-FAMILY LAND USE THAT YOU COULD HAVE.
10:59:50PM THEY DIDN'T BUILD IN A TRANSITION FOR US.
10:59:54PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THEY ALLOWED IT BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN HE HAVE
10:59:56PM TO DO IT.
10:59:58PM SOMEBODY ELSE MADE A MISTAKE.
11:00:01PM I WOULD OFFER THAT THE NOVUS WAS A MISTAKE BY THE LAST -- IT
11:00:06PM WAS POOR JUDGMENT.
11:00:07PM I DON'T HAVE TO MAKE ANOTHER POOR JUDGMENT JUST BECAUSE A

11:00:11PM COUNCIL 13 YEARS AGO DID.
11:00:13PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I DON'T KNOW THAT IT IS POOR JUDGMENT.
11:00:16PM YOU LOOK ACROSS THE STREET AND VARELA PENETRATES --
11:00:22PM >>LYNN HURTAK: NO SINGLE-FAMILY SURROUNDING IT.
11:00:24PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WAS THERE ONE BEFORE THAT?
11:00:27PM MAYBE THEY WERE TORN DOWN FOR THE PROJECTS.
11:00:30PM MAYBE SOMEBODY WILL OFFER THE PEOPLE ON UNION A FORTUNE FOR
11:00:38PM THEIR HOUSES.
11:00:41PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THERE WAS NOTHING THERE.
11:00:45PM IT WAS PLAIN VACANT LAND.
11:00:48PM I NICKNAMED, THE RON ROTELLA BECAUSE THE WESTSHORE ALLIANCE
11:00:52PM WAS WORKING AND WANTED SOMETHING THERE FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE
11:00:56PM AND WORK IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
11:00:58PM I CAN ALMOST GUARANTEE YOU THAT WAS BROUGHT DOWN FROM THE
11:01:02PM ORIGINAL SIZE, MY MIND IS CORRECT WITH ME, IT WAS MUCH
11:01:07PM BIGGER THE FIRST TIME AND CAME BACK SMALLER.
11:01:09PM THE VARELA.
11:01:12PM NOT 100% SURE, GOING BACK 25 YEARS AGO, WHATEVER IT WAS.
11:01:16PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE STAFF REPORT AND YOU
11:01:21PM SEE CONSISTENT.
11:01:22PM SITE PLAN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION, CONSISTENT.
11:01:25PM NATURAL RESOURCES CONSISTENT.
11:01:26PM TRANSPORTATION CONSISTENT, WHICH IS REALLY A KEY INDICATOR
11:01:29PM IN THIS PARTICULAR CORRIDOR.
11:01:31PM >>LYNN HURTAK: BUT THAT IS THE BLACK AND WHITE.

11:01:33PM WE ARE THE GRAY.
11:01:36PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE RELY ON STAFF AS SUBJECT MATTER
11:01:39PM EXPERTS.
11:01:39PM >>LYNN HURTAK: WE DO.
11:01:40PM IF WE ONLY RELIED ON THEM WE WOULDN'T NEED TO BE HERE.
11:01:44PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IT'S FUNNY.
11:01:46PM ONE OF THE PERSONS FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS TALKING ABOUT
11:01:47PM PROPERTY RIGHTS.
11:01:48PM I THOUGHT WHAT WAS INTERESTING, THOUGH, IS THE OWNER OF THIS
11:01:52PM PROPERTY HAS PROPERTY RIGHTS AS WELL.
11:01:54PM THE SAME THINGS THEY ARE READING TO ME I KEPT THINKING, THIS
11:01:58PM APPLIES TO THE OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY.
11:02:00PM THEY HAVE A RIGHT FOR OWNERSHIP AND DEVELOPMENT OF THIS
11:02:03PM PROPERTY.
11:02:03PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THERE'S NO DOUBT.
11:02:04PM THAT IS A THEORY.
11:02:05PM IF HE BUILT THE BUILDING FIRST, THEN THE HOUSES, YOU KNEW
11:02:08PM WHAT WAS THERE.
11:02:10PM IT'S ONE CHASING ANOTHER.
11:02:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WASN'T THIS QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED
11:02:15PM WHEN THEY ZONED THIS RMU 100.
11:02:17PM ASKED AND ANSWERED IN 1980.
11:02:20PM >>LYNN HURTAK: IT WAS BUT WASN'T.
11:02:22PM THERE'S NO REASON THEY COULDN'T HAVE TRANSFERRED AND DONE 8
11:02:26PM OR 9 STORIES NEXT TO LOIS AND SPRUCE AND WENT DOWN TO THREE.

11:02:33PM THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
11:02:34PM BECAUSE WE JUST SAW THAT AT --
11:02:39PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHAT IS THE HEIGHT LIMITATION?
11:02:42PM I DON'T KNOW.
11:02:42PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I DON'T EITHER.
11:02:43PM THE ABILITY TO MOVE --
11:02:46PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WOULD YOU INDULGE ME SO --
11:02:51PM >>LYNN HURTAK: WE DON'T NEED TO.
11:02:52PM WE KNOW THE ONE WE APPROVED DIAGONALLY ACROSS THE STREET WAS
11:02:55PM SEVEN STORIES.
11:02:57PM OR MIGHT HAVE BEEN NINE.
11:03:07PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE DON'T KNOW THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE GONE
11:03:09PM HIGHER THAN THAT.
11:03:10PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THEY COULD HAVE ADJUSTED IT AND DONE A LITTLE
11:03:13PM BETTER DESIGN AROUND.
11:03:15PM I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU DON'T PUT THE POOL ON TOP OF THE
11:03:23PM PARKING DECK AND BUILD MORE THERE.
11:03:26PM TO ME IT'S SO WEIRD TO SEE A POOL ON THE GROUND FLOOR NOW.
11:03:30PM WE HAVEN'T SEEN A POOL ON THE GROUND FLOOR IN AGES.
11:03:35PM THAT'S EXTRA LAND THAT YOU COULD BE BUILDING.
11:03:39PM I THINK IF YOU JUST MOVED THE DENSITY A LITTLE BIT, I
11:03:44PM WOULDN'T SAY NO TO THIS PROJECT.
11:03:46PM I WOULD SAY IT JUST NEEDS SOME MORE CONFIGURING TO HAVE IT
11:03:51PM OFF OF THE NEIGHBORS AND MORE ONTO THE STREET.
11:03:56PM YOU ARE RIGHT.

11:03:57PM IT HAS THE DENSITY, BUT HOW THE DENSITY IS PLACED ON THE
11:04:01PM SITE IS OUR PURVIEW, AND THAT'S WHAT I AM STRUGGLING WITH OR
11:04:06PM NOT STRUGGLING, THAT'S WHAT I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH.
11:04:15PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WOULD STILL LIKE TO KNOW THE HEIGHT.
11:04:18PM MOTION TO REOPEN.
11:04:20PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA.
11:04:22PM ALL IN FAVOR?
11:04:23PM THE HEARING IS REOPENED.
11:04:24PM WHAT IS THE HEIGHT LIMIT.
11:04:27PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
11:04:29PM HATE TO DISAPPOINT, BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE AVIATION
11:04:32PM AUTHORITY HEIGHT LIMIT IS HERE.
11:04:33PM I WILL SAY THERE ARE NO RUNWAY PATHS THAT DIRECTLY GO ACROSS
11:04:39PM THIS IN ANY DIRECTION.
11:04:41PM THE ONE GOES EAST, NORTH TO SOUTH MUCH FARTHER THIS WAY.
11:04:45PM EAST TO WEST ONE DOES NOT CROSS IT AT ALL.
11:04:48PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DOES THE APPLICANT KNOW?
11:04:53PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COME UP AND SAY YOUR NAME.
11:04:57PM >> CHRIS ZIMMERMAN WITH PARADISE VENTURES.
11:05:00PM I AM THE APPLICANT.
11:05:00PM THE FAA'S HEIGHT LIMITATION THERE IS 153 FEET.
11:05:05PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SINCE YOU ARE HERE, WHY DIDN'T YOU GO THAT
11:05:06PM HIGH?
11:05:07PM >> THERE IS A TYPE ONE VERSUS TYPE TWO CONSTRUCTION STANDARD
11:05:10PM THAT EIGHT STORIES KICKS A PROJECT INTO BLOCK CONSTRUCTION.

11:05:16PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM
11:05:18PM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK AND SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
11:05:20PM CLENDENIN.
11:05:21PM THE HEARING IS CLOSED AGAIN.
11:05:22PM WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION?
11:05:24PM COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK.
11:05:29PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I'LL TRY.
11:05:30PM WE CAN'T CONSIDER COST AND WE CAN'T CONSIDER EXPENSE IN
11:05:44PM THIS.
11:05:45PM I'M NOT GOING TO DO THAT.
11:05:46PM I MOVE TO DENY REZ 24-78 FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4202
11:05:52PM WEST SPRUCE STREET DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE APPLICANT TO
11:05:56PM MEET ITS BURDEN OF PROOF TO PROVIDE COMPETENT AND
11:05:58PM SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT THE DEVELOPMENT AS CONDITIONED AND
11:06:00PM SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE

11:06:25PM PURPOSE OF CHAPTER 27, OTHER APPLICABLE LAND DEVELOPMENT
11:06:30PM REGULATIONS IN THE ADOPTED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND THE
11:06:36PM WAIVERS DO NOT OR RATHER THE WAIVERS DO INTERFERE WITH OR
11:06:41PM INJURE THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS WHOSE PROPERTY WOULD BE AFFECTED
11:06:43PM BY THE WAIVER.

11:13:18PM WHEN I MADE THE MOTION ON THE HARRIS BOONSTOPPEL RENAMING --
11:13:30PM I'M SORRY, THAT THE SIGN FOR THE PARK, I HAD INDICATED THAT
11:13:34PM IT SHOULD BE PLACED ON A NEW TAMPA BOULEVARD.
11:13:37PM IT APPEARS THAT THE SIGN SHOULD BE ON COMMERCE PARK
11:13:40PM BOULEVARD.

11:14:31PM TPO, WE HAD A CONVERSATION ON TUESDAY ABOUT I GUESS THE
11:14:37PM TAMPA BAY TIMES DID A BIG STORY ABOUT PEDESTRIAN SAFETY.
11:14:41PM SO I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT IN ADDITION TO THAT, AND I CAN
11:14:46PM WORK ON THIS UNLESS YOU WANT TO, TO COME UP WITH A MOTION TO
11:14:49PM TALK TO MOBILITY, AND MAYBE COME UP WITH A MOTION TO HAVE A

11:15:17PM I THINK IT WAS JOHN HILL AND SOMEBODY ELSE.
11:15:19PM I FORGOT WHO WROTE IT.
11:15:22PM GREAT IDEA AND APPRECIATE IT 100%.
11:15:24PM I WILL DISCLOSE, BY THE WAY, I LIVE IN HUNTER'S GREEN.
11:15:28PM THAT'S NOT AN ISSUE, CORRECT.

11:15:36PM COMPLAINTS ABOUT SPEEDING EVERY DAY IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD,
11:15:39PM AND I THINK WE'VE HAD FORUMS ON IT BEFORE, BUT SOMEHOW WE
11:15:42PM HAVE TO COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS FOR SPEEDING.
11:15:44PM I THINK SINCE COVID ESPECIALLY PEOPLE ARE IN A HURRY TO GET
11:15:48PM PLACES.
11:15:49PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MAKE A SUGGESTION REGARDING PEDESTRIAN
11:15:53PM SAFETY AND SPEEDING, SOMETHING THAT HELPED ME AND I DON'T
11:15:55PM KNOW IF ALL INSURANCE COMPANIES OFFER THIS I HAVE STATE
11:15:58PM FARM, LIKE A DRIVE SAFE PROGRAM.
11:16:00PM LIKE A TRANSPONDER THAT GOES ON YOUR WINDSHIELD AND CONNECTS
11:16:04PM TO YOUR CELL PHONE.

11:16:06PM YOU GET DISCOUNTS FOR DRIVING SAFELY.
11:16:09PM BUT IT MONITORS YOUR SPEED.
11:16:11PM IT MONITORS IF YOU TOUCHED YOUR PHONE WHILE DRIVING.
11:16:14PM IT'S MADE ME A BETTER DRIVER.
11:16:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK: IT ALSO FOLLOWS AND KNOWS WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN
11:16:20PM AND WHO YOU ARE TALKING TO, ALL OF THAT STUFF.
11:16:25PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: 30% OFF.

11:17:02PM OFFICE OF RETURNING CITIZENS.
11:17:04PM I WANT TO HAVE A STAFF REPORT ON THAT ISSUE, RETURNING
11:17:07PM CITIZENS, OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE LEAVING THE PRISON SYSTEM AND
11:17:10PM HAVING AN OFFICE HERE THAT CAN DO AMONG OTHER THINGS,
11:17:13PM COORDINATE SERVICES WITH OTHER STAKEHOLDERS FOR RETURNING

11:17:16PM CITIZENS AND JUST WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY ON CORE ISSUES.
11:17:19PM I DO THAT FOR A NUMBER OF ISSUES, NUMBER ONE, OBVIOUSLY A
11:17:22PM CRISIS FOR A LOT OF OUR FAMILIES.
11:17:23PM NUMBER TWO, JUST TO PUT THE ISSUE ON THE FOREFRONT.
11:17:28PM A LOT OF CITIES DOING THAT.
11:17:30PM BOSTON ROBUST ONE.
11:17:31PM OURS WOULD BE DIFFERENT.
11:17:32PM GET THIS STARTED UNDER THIS ADMINISTRATION AND WHOEVER THE
11:17:34PM NEXT MAYOR IS TO HOPEFULLY TAKE IT TO THAT NEXT LEVEL AND
11:17:39PM HAVE IT COME BACK AND SEE WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION'S POSITION
11:17:42PM IS ON THIS.
11:17:43PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WRITTEN OR IN PERSON?
11:17:45PM >>LUIS VIERA: IN PERSON.
11:17:46PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY.
11:17:50PM YOU HAVE ROOM RIGHT NOW, ONE STAFF REPORT WRITTEN AND
11:17:55PM UNLIMITED, BUT ONE STAFF REPORT ALREADY.
11:17:58PM THIS WOULD BE THE SECOND ONE.
11:18:01PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL NIGHT MEETING.
11:18:04PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: THERE'S BEEN A DISCUSSION THAT CAME UP VERY
11:18:06PM QUICKLY TODAY TO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF STAFF REPORTS.
11:18:09PM ANOTHER WAY TO LIMIT THE TIME IN THE MORNING IS TO NOT HAVE
11:18:13PM ANY CEREMONIAL ON THE 31st.
11:18:16PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
11:18:17PM SOMETHING TO CONSIDER AS WELL.
11:18:18PM WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA.

11:18:31PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: YES, THANK YOU, CHAIR.
11:18:33PM ONE ANNOUNCEMENT, A COMMENT AND ONE MOTION.
11:18:39PM I DON'T KNOW WHO DOES STUFF LIKE THIS, BUT SOMEONE HAD THE
11:18:42PM SLACKS REMOVED FROM THE BENCHES ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE
11:18:45PM HART BUS LINE SO THE HOMELESS FOLKS CAN'T SIT DOWN, TAKING
11:18:53PM AWAY THEIR DIGNITY.
11:18:54PM I'M GOING TO SUGGEST IF IT WAS SOMEONE WITHIN THE CITY OF
11:18:57PM TAMPA, YOU SHOULD PUT THOSE BACK IMMEDIATELY.
11:18:59PM IT IS A STREET I DRIVE ALL THE TIME AND I THINK YOU SHOULD
11:19:02PM PUT THOSE BACK AND DON'T MAKE DECISIONS LIKE THAT SO QUICKLY
11:19:06PM AND TAKE AWAY SOMEONE'S HUMANITY BECAUSE THEY ARE HOMELESS.
11:19:11PM THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO SIT ON A BENCH AND NOT BE A PROBLEM.
11:19:14PM I'LL JUST LEAVE IT LIKE THAT RATHER THAN MAKE A MOTION.
11:19:17PM THE MOTION IS THIS.
11:19:20PM I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO REMOVE THE DISCUSSION ABOUT
11:19:23PM THE NOISE ORDINANCE PERTAINING TO CHANNELSIDE RESIDENTIAL
11:19:27PM DISTRICT BECAUSE WE HAVE SOLVED THAT PROBLEM AND IT'S ON THE
11:19:30PM WORKSHOP FOR APRIL 24.

11:19:32PM BUT I WOULD LIKE TO REPLACE IT WITH STAFF COMING BEFORE US
11:19:36PM FOR A FULL PRESENTATION WITH FULL TRANSPARENCY REGARDING THE
11:19:40PM JBL RIVER CENTER CATERING CONTRACT.

11:21:46PM COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON.
11:21:49PM >>BILL CARLSON: THREE HOPEFULLY QUICK THINGS.
11:21:51PM COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON, THE LAST ADMINISTRATION TOOK THE
11:21:57PM CHAIRS OUT OF LYKES GASLIGHT PARK AND WE TRIED TWO OR THREE
11:22:03PM TIMES TO GET THEM PUT IN.
11:22:05PM I DON'T THINK -- THE LAST ADMINISTRATION TOOK THEM OUT.
11:22:08PM THIS ADMINISTRATION WAS AGAINST PUTTING THEM BACK.
11:22:12PM THAT WAS VERY, VERY CONTROVERSIAL ABOUT EIGHT, TEN YEARS
11:22:14PM AGO.
11:22:15PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: THE FRAMES ARE STILL THERE.
11:22:17PM THEY ARE STORING THEIR THINGS THERE.
11:22:19PM THEY ARE CREATING SEATING.
11:22:20PM IT'S EMBARRASSING.
11:22:21PM >>BILL CARLSON: THE THING ABOUT DOWNTOWN ALSO, IF YOU'RE
11:22:27PM TRYING TO KEEP HOMELESS PEOPLE, YOU'RE ALSO KEEPING BUSINESS
11:22:30PM PEOPLE FROM SITTING.
11:22:32PM IT'S A NICE PLACE.
11:22:34PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: THERE'S NO SEATING FOR THE PEOPLE WHO
11:22:37PM CATCH THE GREYHOUND TRAILWAYS, WHATEVER, THERE'S NO SEATING
11:22:41PM FOR THEM IN THAT AREA AS WELL WHERE THE BUS PICKS THEM UP
11:22:44PM WITH THEIR LANGUAGE IN THE STREET AND WE'RE A MAJOR

11:22:47PM METROPOLITAN CITY.
11:22:48PM >>BILL CARLSON: LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE
11:22:50PM FORM AB FROM ITEM 24 LAST WEEK.
11:22:53PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL IN FAVOR?
11:22:57PM >>BILL CARLSON: LAST THING, A COUPLE OF TIMES OVER THE LAST
11:23:00PM TWO OR THREE YEARS, I BROUGHT UP THE ISSUE OF MAKING CHANNEL
11:23:03PM DISTRICT CONSISTENT WITH DOWNTOWN, EITHER EXPANDING CBD OR
11:23:08PM ALLOWING MAXIMUM HEIGHT.
11:23:10PM STAFF WAS RESISTANT TO IT.
11:23:12PM A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WE DISCUSSED IT IN CRA.
11:23:15PM THE BIG PLAYERS IN CHANNEL DISTRICT NOW HAVE BEEN TALKING TO
11:23:18PM STAFF AND THEY BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE COME TO SOME AGREEMENT
11:23:21PM ON IT.
11:23:22PM THEY GAVE ME A MOTION TO MAKE, MOTION TO ASK STAFF TO -- I
11:23:26PM PICKED SEPTEMBER 4 TO GO FAR OUT.
11:23:29PM MOTION TO ASK STAFF TO RETURN ON SEPTEMBER 4 TO CONSIDER
11:23:33PM ADOPTING THE LAND DEVELOPMENT ENTITLEMENT APPROVAL PROCESS
11:23:36PM AS PRESENTLY PRACTICED IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND
11:23:40PM HAVE THAT PROCESS APPLIED AT CHANNEL DISTRICT AND TO
11:23:42PM CONSIDER ADOPTING THE HIGH DENSITY LIMITS PRESENTLY
11:23:45PM APPLICABLE TO THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT TO THE CHANNEL
11:23:48PM DISTRICT.
11:23:49PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: WHO IS THE THEY THAT GAVE YOU THE MOTION?
11:23:52PM >>BILL CARLSON: A COUPLE OF BIG DEVELOPERS THAT HELP SET
11:23:57PM THIS.

11:23:58PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: BUT THEY HAVE BEEN TALKING TO STAFF IS
11:24:00PM WHAT YOU SAID.

11:24:06PM LINDA SAUL-SENA, PRIVATE SECTOR AND GOVERNMENT WORKED
11:24:10PM TOGETHER TO STEP UP CHANNEL DISTRICT.
11:24:12PM WITH ALL THE EXCEPTIONS MADE, THERE ARE TALL BUILDINGS AND
11:24:15PM THEN FOUR-STORY BUILDINGS AND DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
11:24:18PM IT SHOULD BE BALANCED.
11:24:25PM THE CBD, STAFF APPROVES PROJECTS.
11:24:27PM IN CHANNEL DISTRICT THEY HAVE TO COME BEFORE US.
11:24:30PM IT'S A COMPLICATED, EXPENSIVE PROCESS RIGHT ACROSS THE
11:24:32PM STREET.
11:24:33PM >>GWEN HENDERSON: THEY WORK IN ADVANCE WITH EACH OTHER
11:24:35PM DEALING WITH STAFF, AND THEN IT WILL COME TO US FOR
