5:09:11PM >> GOOD EVENING.
THIS IS ERICA LARSON, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
THIS ITEM IS THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S REVIEW OF THE CITY OF
TAMPA CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT SECTION, CIS SCHEDULE PROJECT
UPDATE.
CHAPTER 163 REQUIRES A SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS, LIST OF
PROJECTS ADDRESSING LEVEL OF SERVICE AND ADOPTED IN THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
BE UPDATED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.
THE UPDATE WOULD --
5:09:38PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
STAND BY.
THE CHAIR IS SLOW.
I CAN'T READ LIPS.
CAN WE HAVE A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARINGS, PLEASE?
WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.

ALL IN FAVOR, AYE.
OPPOSED?
AYES HAVE IT.
THANK YOU.
I'M SORRY, CONTINUE.
5:09:56PM >> SORRY.
5:09:56PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MY FAULT.
5:09:58PM >> GOOD EVENING.
THIS IS ERICA LARSON, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
THIS ITEM IS THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S REVIEW OF THE CITY OF
TAMPA'S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT SECTION, CIS SCHEDULE OF
PROJECTS UPDATE.
CHAPTER 163 REQUIRES THE SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS, THE LIST OF
PROJECTS ADDRESSING LEVEL OF SERVICE AND ADOPTED IN THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BE UPDATED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.
THE UPDATE WOULD REPLACE THE EXISTING CIS SCHEDULE IN THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WITH A SCHEDULE LISTED IN YOUR PACKETS.
THE LATEST SCHEDULE REFLECTS THE ADOPTED C.I.P. THAT WERE
RECENTLY APPROVED.
THE UPDATE IS ACCOMPLISHED BY ORDINANCE WHICH IS EXPLICITLY
PERMITTED UNDER CHAPTER 163.
THIS IS A ROUTINE ANNUAL UPDATE.
WE COME BEFORE YOU EACH YEAR WITH THIS INFORMATION TO
SUPPORT THE ORDINANCE.
CITY STAFF IDENTIFIED PROJECTS IN THE CIS THAT AFFECT THE

LEVEL OF SERVICE.
THESE ITEMS MAKE UP THE SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS.
THERE WAS A RECENT CHAPTER 163 UPDATE LAST YEAR THAT ALSO
REQUIRES THE CIS TO INCLUDE BASIN MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN
BMAP PROJECTS TO BE UPDATED ANNUALLY.
BMAP IS THE FRAMEWORK FOR WATER QUALITY RESTORATION THAT
INCLUDES A COMPREHENSIVE SET OF SOLUTIONS TO ACHIEVE THE
POLLUTANT REDUCTIONS ESTABLISHED BY THE TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY
LOAD, TMDL, AS DEFINED BY THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION.
THESE BMAP PROJECTS WERE COORDINATED WITH CITY STAFF FROM
THE ENVIRONMENTAL DEPARTMENT.
ADDITIONALLY, THE PLANS OF OTHER AGENCIES ARE INCORPORATED
BY REFERENCE.
DISPLAYED IS A SUMMARY OF THE CIS SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS WHICH
WERE PLACED INTO SIX PROGRAM AREAS.
YOU CAN SEE THE LARGEST GROUP IN TERMS OF FUNDING ARE
WASTEWATER AND WATER.
THE TOTAL FUNDING AMOUNT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 26 THROUGH
FISCAL YEAR 30 IS APPROXIMATELY 1.37 BILLION FOR 93
PROJECTS.
THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE BREAKDOWN OF THE LEVEL OF SERVICE
PROJECT TYPES IDENTIFIED BY THE CITY AND IS CONSISTENT WITH
THE LEVEL OF SERVICE PRIORITIES OUTLINED IN THE CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT SECTION OBJECTIVE 1.3 AND POLICY 1.3.2, WHICH

STATE THE SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS SHOULD BE PLANNED TO BOTH
ELIMINATE EXISTING DEFICIENCIES AND REPLACE WORN-OUT
FACILITIES.
ON THE NEXT SLIDE, YOU WILL SEE OBJECTIVE AND POLICY
EXCERPTS USED IN THE CONSISTENCY REVIEW.
HOWEVER, A FULL LIST OF POLICIES USED CAN BE FOUND IN YOUR
PACKET.
THE COASTAL OBJECTIVE AND POLICY LISTED DISCUSSES COASTAL
HIGH HAZARD AREA AND LIMITING PUBLIC EXPENDITURES FOR
INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES WITHIN IT.
AFTER REVIEW, STAFF FOUND THAT PROJECTS WITHIN THE CHHA WERE
MINIMAL AND WERE EITHER TO SERVE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT,
REPAIR, REPLACEMENT OR ENHANCE PUBLIC ACCESS TO NATURAL
AREAS.
THOUGH CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICY DISCUSS
PROJECT FUNDING SHOULD FIRST BE EXPENDED ON PROJECTS THAT
MAINTAIN LEVEL OF SERVICE AND CORRECT DEFICIENCIES BEFORE
BEING EXPENDED ON PROJECTS THAT SERVE FUTURE GROWTH.
THE REST OF THE OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES LISTED ON THE SLIDE
ARE RELATED TO INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC FACILITIES.
PLANNING COMMISSION FOUND THE CITY OF TAMPA'S PROPOSED
FISCAL YEAR 2026 THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 2030 CIS SCHEDULE OF
PROJECTS CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES
OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND RECOMMENDS ADOPTION BY
ORDINANCE.

THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
CITY STAFF IS AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AS WELL.
THANK YOU.
5:13:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
HEARING NONE, IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO
SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?
WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
OPPOSED?
AYES HAVE IT.

5:13:49PM >>BILL CARLSON:

5:14:49PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
ITEM NUMBER 2.
5:15:02PM >> GOOD EVENING.
QUINN STEELE, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
TONIGHT PRESENTING TA/CPA 25-09, A MAP AMENDMENT FOR 2602
EAST 7TH AVENUE AND ASSOCIATED PARCELS.
THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS PRIVATELY INITIATED AND SMALL
SCALE COVERING APPROXIMATELY 7.42 ACRES.
THE REQUEST IS TO CHANGE THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION
FROM LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND GENERAL MIXED USE 24 TO URBAN
MIXED USE 60 AND COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35.
HERE IS A GENERAL LOCATION MAP.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA

PLANNING DISTRICT IN THE HISTORIC EAST YBOR NEIGHBORHOOD.
ADDITIONALLY, PORTIONS OF THE SITE ARE WITHIN THE YBOR CITY
URBAN VILLAGE, LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT AND CRA AS WELL AS
THE PORT ACTIVITY CENTER AND THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA.
THIS AERIAL SHOWS THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN BLUE.
IT IS LOCATED JUST NORTH OF THE CSX RAILROAD AND WEST OF THE
SELMON CONNECTOR.
THE RAIL LINE RUNS ALONG THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN BOUNDARIES
OF THE SITE AND SERVES AS THE MAIN LINE CONNECTING TO THE
PORT.
THE RED DASH LINE MARKS THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN LIGHT
INDUSTRIAL DESIGNATION TO THE EAST AND THE GENERAL MIXED USE
24 DESIGNATION TO THE WEST, AS WELL AS THE YBOR CITY URBAN
VILLAGE LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT AND CRA.
TO THE WEST THERE IS A MIX OF RESIDENTIAL LIGHT INDUSTRIAL
AND COMMERCIAL USES AND TO THE EAST, IT IS PREDOMINANTLY
INDUSTRIAL WITH USES INCLUDING WAREHOUSING, MANUFACTURING
AND A CREMATION CENTER.
NORTH AND EAST 8th AVENUE TRANSITIONS TO RESIDENTIAL 20 IS
SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
TONIGHT, WE'RE ONLY LOOKING AT TA/CPA 25-09, WHICH IS TO THE
NORTH OF THE CSX RAIL LINE OUTLINED IN BLUE.
THE MAP ALSO SHOWS TWO SIMILAR REQUESTS FILED IN MAY 2025
CYCLE.
25-10 AND 25-11, TOGETHER TOTAL JUST OVER 50 ACRES.

5:16:51PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
CAN YOU MOVE THAT UP JUST A LITTLE BIT?
5:16:56PM >> 25-10 WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HEARD TONIGHT BUT WAS
MISNOTICED.
IT WILL BE RESCHEDULED.
25-11 IS SET FOR JANUARY 29.
JUST FOR SURROUNDING CONTEXT, TAMPA HAS ABOUT 6100 ACRES OF
INDUSTRIAL LAND REMAINING AND ONLY 330 ACRES AVAILABLE FOR
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.
IF ALL THREE OF THESE WERE APPROVED, THE CYCLE ALONE WOULD
EQUAL HALF OF ALL THE INDUSTRIAL LAND THE CITY HAS LOST IN
THE LAST DECADE.
THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH ON EAST 7TH AVENUE TOWARDS THE SUBJECT
SITE.
THIS IS LOOKING EAST ALONG EAST 7TH AVENUE.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS ON THE RIGHT.
THIS IS THE PORTION WITHIN THE GMU 24 DESIGNATION AND THE
YBOR CITY URBAN VILLAGE AND LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT.
THIS IS LOOKING NORTH ALONG EAST 7TH AVENUE TOWARDS THE
SUBJECT SITE.
THESE ARE THE PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH ALONG EAST 8th
AVENUE.
AND LOOKING SOUTH ON EAST 7TH AVENUE NEAR THE SELMON
CONNECTOR.
SUBJECT SITE IS ON THE RIGHT.
THIS IS THE RAIL LINE THAT RUNS NORTH AND SOUTH.

THE PORT IS FURTHER SOUTH.
THIS MAP SHOWS THE SITE'S CURRENT DESIGNATIONS AS LIGHT
INDUSTRIAL AND GENERAL MIXED USE 24 WITH GMU 24 WEST OF
NORTH 26th STREET.
SURROUNDING THE SITE TO THE NORTHEAST, EAST, AND SOUTH ARE
HEAVY AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DESIGNATIONS.
TO THE WEST PAST 26th STREET WE SEE GMU 24 AND CC-35 WITH
RESIDENTIAL 20 FURTHER NORTHWEST.
THERE ARE TWO POCKETS OF UMU 60 TO THE SOUTH, WHICH WERE A
PART OF PLAN AMENDMENTS IN 2017.
ONE IS THE 85 APARTMENT COMPLEX AND THE OTHER IS STILL
VACANT.
LASTLY, MOST OF THE SITE FALLS WITHIN THE COASTAL HIGH
HAZARD AREA SHOWN BY THE GREEN LINE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
THE WESTERN-MOST PARCEL.
THIS MAP SHOWS THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL LAND PROPOSED TO CHANGE
TO UMU 60 WHICH WOULD ALLOW UP TO 60 DWELLING UNITS AN ACRE
OR 3.25 F.A.R.
GMU 24 LAND WEST OF NORTH 26th STREET WHICH IS PROPOSED TO
CHANGE TO CC-35, ALLOWING UP TO 35 DWELLING UNITS AN ACRE OR
2.0 F.A.R.
UNDER THE CURRENT LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND GENERAL MIXED USE 24
DESIGNATIONS THE SITE CONSIDERED FOR UP TO 14 DWELLING UNITS
BUT ONLY ON THE GMU 24 PORTION, SINCE RESIDENTIAL IS NOT
PERMITTED IN LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

IT COULD ALSO ALLOW JUST OVER 484,000 SQUARE FEET OF
NONRESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH THE PROPOSED UMU 60 AND
CC-35 DESIGNATIONS THAT COULD INCREASE TO 429 DWELLING UNITS
OR JUST OVER 1 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF DEVELOPMENT, EITHER
RESIDENTIAL OR NONRESIDENTIAL.
IF APPROVED, THE AMENDMENT WOULD INTRODUCE RESIDENTIAL USES
AND ELIMINATE FUTURE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT ON THE SITE.
IT WOULD ALSO MORE THAN DOUBLE THE ALLOWABLE DENSITY AND
INTENSITY.
AGENCY REVIEWS FOR THE AMENDMENT INCLUDE AN OBJECTION FROM
THE CITY OF TAMPA SPECIFIC TO THE UMU 60 PORTION.
THE EPC RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT COMPATIBILITY DUE TO NEARBY
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL USES INCLUDING A CREMATORY.
AND THE SCHOOL BOARD NOTED THAT BLAKE HIGH SCHOOL IS
PROJECTED TO EXCEED CAPACITY.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF RECOMMENDED THE AMENDMENT BE FOUND
INCONSISTENT DUE TO CONCERNS WITH INDUSTRIAL PRESERVATION
AND THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA, BUT THE PLANNING
COMMISSION BOARD FOUND IT CONSISTENT WITH POLICIES
SUPPORTING PLANNED HOUSEHOLD AND EMPLOYMENT GROWTH.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF RECOMMENDS THE PROPOSED MAP
AMENDMENT BE FOUND CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND
POLICIES OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND I AM AVAILABLE
FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
5:20:25PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

EVAN.
5:20:34PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I ACTUALLY DID HAVE A QUESTION.
MS. STEELE, I DO HAVE A QUESTION.
I APOLOGIZE.
CAN YOU REPEAT THE NUMBERS ABOUT THE ACRES OF INDUSTRIAL
LAND?
5:20:46PM >>QUINN STEELE:
SURE.
I ACTUALLY HAVE SOME INFORMATION HERE.
SO THIS IS THE CITY OF TAMPA.
WE'VE LOST 101 ACRES IN THE LAST TEN YEARS.
THIS AMENDMENT -- ALL THREE OF THESE AMENDMENTS WOULD BE
EQUIVALENT TO ABOUT 50 ACRES.
5:21:09PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
HOW MUCH INDUSTRIAL LAND DO WE HAVE LEFT?
LIKE CURRENTLY?
5:21:14PM >>QUINN STEELE:
6100 ACRES.
330 AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.
5:21:22PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.
5:21:24PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MR. JOHNSON.
5:21:39PM >> EVAN JOHNSON, INTERIM DIRECTOR CITY PLANNING.
QUINN DID AN EXCELLENT JOB WITH THE PRESENTATION.
AS SHE MENTIONED, WE DID HAVE OBJECTIONS.
I WANTED TO SPEND A MOMENT -- THANK YOU.
SHE HAD A BETTER MAP.
I WANTED TO SPEND A MOMENT REITERATING WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT
IN FRONT OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION BOARD AS WELL.

LET'S SEE IF I KNOW HOW TO USE THIS.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO THINK OF THIS, YES, WE'RE ONLY
TALKING TONIGHT ABOUT ONE AMENDMENT, 6.8 ACRES.
IT'S LIGHT INDUSTRIAL IN GMU, GENERAL MIXED USE.
THAT SHOULD BE 6.8.
THERE IS SOME GENERAL MIXED USE IN THERE AS WELL.
AS QUINN MENTIONED, WE WERE SPECIFICALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE
AREA OUTSIDE THE HISTORIC DISTRICT IN THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL
CONVERSIONS TO UMU 60.
ALSO WANT TO REMIND YOU, THIS IS ABOUT 49 ACRES.
ALMOST 50 ACRES, ACTUALLY, ALL COMBINED.
THE NEXT TWO AMENDMENTS THAT YOU'LL BE HEARING IN THE
FUTURE, THAT'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER, WHAT, 42, 43 ACRES OF
HEAVY INDUSTRIAL LAND THAT IS ALSO BEING CONVERTED TO UMU 60
AS WELL AND INTRODUCING RESIDENTIAL AS WELL AS REMOVING
THOSE INDUSTRIAL USES.
THE REASON I WANTED TO BRING THIS UP IS THIS IS NOT ONE
AMENDMENT.
THIS IS A CONSIDERATION ABOUT -- THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT
POLICY CHANGE IN CONFLICT WITH A LOT OF WHAT'S IN THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN NOW.
I JUST WANT US TO BE AWARE THAT WE HAVE POLICIES THAT ARE
VERY STRICT POLICIES ABOUT THE CONVERSION OF INDUSTRIAL LAND
WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, PROTECTION OF THE PORT
ACTIVITY CENTER AND THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA.

I WANT US TO BE COGNIZANT, IF WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS AND
WE APPROVE THIS PARTICULAR AMENDMENT TONIGHT, THIS
CONVERSATION WILL CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD AND THEN COME
FEBRUARY WE HAVE A LARGER CONVERSATION ABOUT THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS WELL.
IN THAT DOCUMENT AND THE DRAFTS THAT WE'VE HAD TO THIS POINT
ALSO HAS A LOT OF VERY STRONG LANGUAGE AROUND PROTECTING OF
INDUSTRIAL LAND AND KEEPING RESIDENTIAL OUT OF THE COASTAL
HIGH HAZARD AREA.
I WANT TO MAKE COUNCIL AWARE OF THAT BECAUSE I THINK IT IS A
REALLY IMPORTANT DISCUSSION THAT WE HAVE, WHETHER TONIGHT OR
MOVING FORWARD.
OF COURSE, WE'RE HERE TO SUPPORT YOU IN ANY WAY WE CAN TO
PROVIDE THE INFORMATION YOU NEED.
JUST FOR SUMMARY, THE TOTAL IMPACT, WHICH QUINN DID AN
EXCELLENT JOB GOING OVER, 49.73 ACRES IS WHEN YOU WOULD
COMBINE ALL THREE TOGETHER OF WHICH YOU'LL HEAR TWO MORE IN
THE FUTURE.
I KNOW TONIGHT WE'RE ONLY HEARING ONE BUT IMPORTANT TO KEEP
IN MIND.
SIMILAR TO THE SIZE OF YOUR GASWORX PROPERTY, BUT WE HAVE
BETTER ACCESS TO THE PORT.
WE HAVE BETTER ACCESS TO CSX RAIL AND ENTIRELY IN THE CHHA.
THIS IS A MAJOR, MAJOR DEVELOPMENT POTENTIALLY THAT WILL
HAPPEN IN THE AREA.

THAT WAS ALL OF OUR COMMENTS.
5:24:26PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
DOES THAT COMPLETE STAFF'S PRESENTATION?
5:24:29PM >> THAT'S IT.
THANK YOU, SIR.
5:24:30PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
APPLICANT?
5:24:32PM >> TYLER HUDSON.
400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
PULL UP THE PowerPoint.
HAPPY FIRST DAY OF FALL.
5:24:41PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
IS TODAY THE FIRST DAY OF FALL?
5:24:43PM >> FELT LIKE IT.
5:24:51PM >> FALL IS FALL.
I THINK QUINN WENT OVER THIS.
WE FOUND OUT YESTERDAY THAT THE NEWSPAPER NOTICE WAS WRONG.
WE'VE HAD TO SCRAMBLE.
WE DID ANTICIPATE DOING BOTH OF THESE TOGETHER WHICH I THINK
AT THE END OF THIS WILL MAKE A LITTLE BIT OF SENSE.
I'LL ASK THAT YOU SHOW ME SOME GRACE IF I DO MENTION THE
YELLOW SOUTHERN ASSEMBLAGE.
THAT'S NOT PART OF THE DISCUSSION.
IT IS A COMP PLAN AMENDMENT.
WE DON'T HAVE TO BE QUITE AS STRICT AS OUTSIDE STUFF.
WE'RE FOCUSING ON THE TEAL PARCELS TONIGHT, BUT THERE ARE
SOME THINGS GOING ON IN THE YELLOW PARCELS THAT I THINK ARE
SIGNIFICANT.

I'LL KEEP ZOOMING OUT.
MANY OF YOU, WE'VE BEEN SOCIALIZING WITH THE COMMUNITY, WITH
THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, WITH SOME OF YOU ALL, WITH
STAFF FOR SOME TIME NOW, A MIXED USE REDEVELOPMENT IN THE
AREA OF YBOR CITY THAT'S REALLY EAST OF THE COLUMBIA
RESTAURANT AND WOULD ALSO INCLUDE THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE,
WHICH EVERYONE KNEW A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO THERE WAS A LAND
SWAP WITH THE COUNTY.
THEY'LL STAY THERE FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
THIS IS ALL PART OF A LARGER FORTHCOMING PDA.
MR. SHELBY, NOTHING HAS BEEN FILED YET.
BUT A FORTHCOMING PDA FILED PROBABLY IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS
THAT WE PERHAPS UNIMAGINABLY CALL PLACE ONE.
PROBABLY BE A DIFFERENT NAME IN THE FUTURE.
TEAL PARCELS SHOW WHERE WITHIN THAT MASTER DEVELOPMENT WE
ARE TALKING ABOUT.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE AREA THAT'S -- THE LARGE PARCELS OF
EAST OF 26th STREET.
THESE ARE OUTSIDE OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.
THERE ARE TWO VERY SMALL PARCELS WITHIN THE HISTORIC
DISTRICT THAT ARE NOT INDUSTRIAL.
I'M GOING TO EXPLAIN THOSE SEPARATELY BECAUSE I THINK THEY
HAVE DIFFERENT CONSIDERATIONS.
LET'S ZOOM OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE AND LOCATE THIS AREA WHERE
IT IS IN THE BROADER SENSE OF CENTRAL TAMPA.

THE LAND USE POLICY THAT'S ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW IS THE
SINGLE REASON THAT WE ARE FILING THIS.
RESIDENTIAL USE IS PROHIBITED IN INDUSTRIAL LAND USE
CATEGORIES.
PROHIBITED.
IT IS NOT ALLOWED.
YOU CANNOT ASK FOR IT.
MEANING, EVERY PIECE OF LAND THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR TONIGHT,
OTHER THAN TWO TINY PIECES IN YBOR, IT IS PROHIBITED FOR
PEOPLE TO HAVE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT THERE DESPITE THIS
BEING IN THE PATH OF GROWTH AND DESPITE BEING PERVASIVE
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ALREADY IN THE VICINITY OF THIS
SITE.
I TALKED ABOUT PATH OF GROWTH.
THIS COUNCIL, SOME OF YOUR PREDECESSORS ENDORSED AND
SUPPORTED THE ENCORE PROJECT THAT BROUGHT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE
INTO THE CENTRAL PARK CRA.
ABOUT 500 PEOPLE ALREADY LIVE IN GASWORX, AND THAT'S WITH
ONE APARTMENT BUILDING OPEN.
AND YOU SEE THE CRANES THERE.
THERE'S BEEN A RESURGENCE OF DEVELOPMENT INTO YBOR CITY ON
THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE.
THIS COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY SUPPORTED THE YBOR HARBOR REZONING
TO BRING MIXED USE, DENSE DEVELOPMENT TO THE URBAN CORE THAT
HAS THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO BEST ACCOMMODATE IT.

I'LL NOTE TO A PLACE THAT UNLIKE OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY,
DOESN'T SEEM OPPOSED TO HAVING MORE NEIGHBORS.
WE HAVE A GROWTH PROBLEM.
IT'S GETTING HARDER TO FIND PLACES THAT ARE ACCEPTING OF NEW
RESIDENTIAL GROWTH.
THAT IS WHY WE ARE FILING THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
WHICH WILL BE IMPLEMENTED BY ZONING IN THE FUTURE.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.
IT RUNS DOWN TO THE YELLOW LINE.
THE PIECES THAT ARE WEST TO THE LEFT, THESE ARE REALLY
SMALL.
THIS IS REALLY CLEANUP GOING FROM GENERAL MIX USE 24 TO
CC-35.
GENERAL MIX USE 24 IS SORT OF LIKE THE JUNK DRAWER CATEGORY
OF FUTURE LAND USE.
IT IS AREAS THAT HAVE, QUOTE, NO DISCERNIBLE DEVELOPMENT
TREND.
ALL WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS CHANGE THEM TO THE COLOR.
WE'RE CHANGING LITTLE PIECES OF PURPLE, MAYBE THAT'S MAUVE,
TO THE RED, THAT'S NORTHERLY ADJACENT.
GOING FROM 1.5 F.A.R. TO 2.0 F.A.R.
THERE IS A LOT OF CONCERN ABOUT ARCHITECTURAL INTEGRITY,
HEIGHTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT ON 7th AVENUE.
ALL OF 7th AVENUE IS 3.25 F.A.R.
WE ARE ASKING HERE TO GO FROM 1.5 F.A.R. TO 2.0 F.A.R.

THE BARRIO LATINO COMMISSION HAD NO ISSUE WITH THAT.
THEY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
AMENDMENT AS TO THE PARCELS THAT ARE IN THE HISTORIC
DISTRICT.
THE NONHISTORIC PORTION, THAT IS THE LARGELY VACANT AREAS OF
LAND THAT ARE EAST OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT AND ARE
CURRENTLY LIGHT INDUSTRIAL FUTURE LAND USE.
THIS IS PROBABLY THE SECOND-MOST IMPORTANT SLIDE THAT WE
HAVE AND MIGHT LOOK FAMILIAR TO THOSE OF YOU, I THINK ALL OF
YOU WHO HAD THE YBOR HARBOR REZONING.
I DON'T THINK I'VE HAD A STRONGER DISAGREEMENT, VERY
RESPECTFUL AND POLITE, BUT NEVER A STRONGER DISAGREEMENT
WITH STAFF THAN ON THE INDUSTRIAL ISSUE.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS INDUSTRIAL USE IN YOUR ZONING
CODE.
ZONING CODE HAS 147 DIFFERENT USES.
MANY OF THEM YOU ALL HAVEN'T SEEN.
PROBABLY HAVEN'T SEEN HELIPORT.
147 USES.
THE ONES ON THE RIGHT THERE IS THE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL USES
YOU'RE LOSING.
IF YOU VOTE YES, YOU CAN'T PUT A CORRECTIONAL FACILITY, YOU
CAN'T PUT EXPLOSIVE STORAGE, HAZARD MATERIALS, JUNKYARD OR
LAND FILL.
THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE LOSING.

YOU ARE GAINING THE ABILITY TO CONSIDER RESIDENCES IN THIS
AREA, IN THE DIRECT PATH OF GROWTH ALONG 7th AVENUE IN
YBOR CITY.
THE TYPE OF USES THAT WHEN WE THINK OF INDUSTRIAL TYPE USES,
THE WHOLE IDEA OF WE'RE LOSING, QUOTE, INDUSTRIAL LAND,
THAT'S NOT A PHRASE THAT HAS ANY REGULATORY EFFECT AT ALL.
WHEN YOU THINK INDUSTRIAL, DO YOU THINK LIGHT MANUFACTURING?
PROBABLY.
THAT'S PRESERVED.
THAT DOESN'T CHANGE AT ALL.
WAREHOUSING, BEING NEAR THE PORT ACTIVITY CENTER.
THE PORT IS NOT SHY ABOUT MAKING THEIR VOICE HEARD WHEN THEY
BELIEVE SOMETHING THREATENS THEIR ABILITY TO OPERATE.
THEY ARE NOT HERE.
WE TALKED TO THE PORT A LONG TIME ABOUT THIS PROJECT.
WHAT ARE THE MOST LIKELY FOLLOW-ON USES FROM BEING NEAR A
PORT?
IT'S PROBABLY A WAREHOUSE.
WAREHOUSE AND WHOLESALE TRADE, TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
FACILITY.
ALL THOSE USES ARE ALLOWED IN UMU 60.
THOSE ARE ALL ALLOWED.
SO I REJECT ENTIRELY THIS NOTION THAT STAFF HAS BROUGHT
FORWARD THAT THIS IS SOME ENORMOUS LOSS OF ALL INDUSTRIAL
USE BECAUSE A LOT OF THE THINGS WITH GREEN CHECK MARKS NEXT

TO THEM, YOU KNOW WE CONSIDER THOSE INDUSTRIAL AND I THINK
THEY DO TOO.
SAME INFORMATION PRESENTED IN SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT WAY.
THIS IS TABLE 4-1 AND 21-156, BIG TABLE OF PERMITTED USES,
ALL 147 OF THEM.
ALL CI USES ARE ALLOWED IN THE UMU 60.
THAT IS A CRITICAL AND VERY IN THE WEEDS, NERDY DISTINCTION.
CI HAS A LOT MORE COMMERCIAL USES ALLOWED THAN CG DOES.
IF WE WERE ASKING FOR A LAND USE CATEGORY THAT PROHIBITED CI
USES I WOULD BE ON MY BACK FOOT AND WE WOULD BE HAVING A
VERY DIFFERENT CONVERSATION.
BUT WE'RE NOT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT UMU 60 WHICH ALLOWS ALL CI USES.
HERE IS LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE USES THAT CAN BE
ASKED FOR OR IS ALLOWED BY RIGHT IN IG AND IH THAT YOU
CANNOT ASK FOR IN CI.
THIS IS THE COMPLETE LIST OF WHAT YOU'RE LOSING.
SO IN MY VIEW, TO DENY THIS APPLICATION IS TO BELIEVE THAT
ONE OR MORE OF THESE USES, THE PRESERVATION OF THAT, NONE OF
WHICH ARE REALLY PRESENT ON-SITE OTHER THAN ONE RECYCLING
FACILITY THAT THE PRESERVATION OF THE HYPOTHETICAL USES IN
THE FUTURE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ALLOWING THE POSSIBILITY
OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ON THE EAST SIDE OF 7th AVENUE
IN YBOR CITY.
THIS IS THE CHART.

THIS DISTILLS DOWN THE ENTIRE APPLICATION INTO HIGHLIGHTED
EXCEL SPREADSHEET.
THIS IS NOT A MAGICAL, ALL INDUSTRIAL LANDS ARE GOING AWAY,
ALL INDUSTRIAL USES ARE GOING AWAY, THAT'S NOT TRUE.
TO ENGAGE I THINK REALLY SUPERFICIAL HEADLINE LEVEL IS
HUGELY IRRESPONSIBLE.
THE WAY THAT WE REGULATE LAND IN THE CITY IS BASED ON THE
LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE WHICH AGAIN HAS 147 USES.
THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE.
IF ANY OF THOSE ARE MORE VALUABLE THAN THE POTENTIAL TO
EXACERBATE SOME OF THE SUPPLY DEMAND MISMATCH THE CITY HAS
ON HOUSING, I LOOK FORWARD TO TALKING ABOUT THAT IN
QUESTIONS.
LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE CONSISTENCIES.
I THINK WE GET THE POINT ABOUT INDUSTRIAL USE AT THIS POINT.
I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT -- AT THE CORE OF THE IDEA,
INDUSTRIAL USE, IDEA THAT IT IS JOB CREATING, RIGHT?
COMMERCIAL.
MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT GENERATES JOBS, TOO.
OFFICE, ALL THOSE USES I ALREADY LISTED GENERATE EMPLOYMENT.
IF WE GET TO THE CORE, AT THIS STAGE, WE PROBABLY DON'T WANT
THE TYPE.
EXPLOSIVE STORAGE.
WE DON'T WANT THE TYPE OF OBNOXIOUS USES CLOSE TO WHAT'S
EMERGING AS RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.

I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF REPRESENTING SEVERAL INDUSTRIAL
DEVELOPERS.
IT'S IN THE COUNTY.
THEY ARE SELLING THEIR LAND IN THE CITY BECAUSE SO MUCH
INDUSTRIAL USE IS LAND INTENSIVE.
YOU CANNOT STACK A LANDFILL ON TOP OF A LANDFILL.
IF YOU ARE DOING A WASTE TRANSFER FACILITY, YOU NEED BREADTH
OF LAND.
YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO DEVELOP THAT IN THE CITY OF TAMPA RIGHT
NOW.
THE LAND IS TOO EXPENSIVE AND NOTHING THAT THIS COUNCIL CAN
DO ABOUT THAT.
PEOPLE DON'T JUST VOTE FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS.
THEY VOTE WITH THEIR POCKETBOOKS AND VOTE WITH THEIR FEET.
HEAVY MANUFACTURING, HEAVY INDUSTRIAL USERS, THEY ARE
VOTING.
THEY ARE MOVING TO THE COUNTY.
THEY ARE MOVING TO POLK COUNTY.
MOVING TO EASTERN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, WHERE THEY CAN GET
MORE LAND THAT THEY NEED FOR THE NATURE OF THE JOB.
IT SHOULDN'T BE A SURPRISE THAT TWO OF THE SITES ARE METAL
RECYCLING FACILITIES.
THEY DON'T WANT TO BE HERE ANYMORE.
THEY HAVE FOUND BETTER SITES DOWN NEAR RED WING THAT BETTER
SUPPORT WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.

THEY ARE LEAVING BECAUSE THEY SEE WHAT WE SEE WHICH IS THAT
THE PATH OF GROWTH AND THE FUTURE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS NOT
LANDFILLS AND EXPLOSIVE STORAGE.
IT MIGHT BE WAREHOUSES NEAR APARTMENTS, AND THAT'S ALL
PRESERVED.
IT'S NOT EXPLOSIVE STORAGE AND LANDFILLS.
I WANTED TO MAKE A NOTE ABOUT THE SELMON EXPRESSWAY.
I DON'T HAVE TO REMIND THIS COUNCIL THAT HIGHWAYS SERVE AS
BARRIERS AND HIGHWAYS CAN CHANGE THE TRANSITION BETWEEN
NEIGHBORHOODS.
I THINK A LOT, UNDERNEATH 275 ON FLORIDA, COME BY THE
BREWING.
SEEMS LIKE A DIVIDE.
200 FEET WIDE.
SELMON EXPRESSWAY, 442 FEET WIDE AT THE CONNECTOR.
THAT IS ENORMOUS, PHYSICAL, AND I THINK JUST FIGURATIVE
BUFFER BETWEEN WHAT IS -- WHAT EMERGED AS CORE INDUSTRIAL
AREA, MOSTLY LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TO THE EAST AND TO THE WEST.
THAT'S THERE.
THAT IS A VERY STUBBORN BORDER.
COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA, TALKED ABOUT THIS FOR A LONG, LONG
TIME IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, THE COASTAL HIGH
HAZARD AREA IS ABOUT EVACUATION AND SHELTERS.
BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROPOSING SOMETHING AT INTERBAY AND
MANHATTAN AND PROPOSING SOMETHING THAT IS ALONGSIDE THREE OF

THE MOST MATERIAL OR REGIONAL EVACUATION ROUTES IN THIS
ENTIRE AREA.
ADAMO DRIVE, SELMON CONNECTOR AND I-4.
IT'S A STONE'S THROW FROM I-275.
THREE MAJOR SHELTERS RIGHT NEAR THE AREA.
AGAIN, WE'RE NOT EVEN AT THE POINT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HOW
MANY APARTMENTS ARE GOING HERE.
THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOT OF NONRESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN
THIS AREA AS DARRYL WILL TALK ABOUT IN A SECOND.
THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA PIECE, I GET THAT IT IS ROTE.
HAS TO BE SAID.
THIS IS NOT THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERBAY PENINSULA.
THIS PRESENTS WITH A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT VULNERABILITY,
REDUCED VULNERABILITY PROFILE RELATIVE TO SITES FURTHER
SOUTH.
I WANT TO NOTE, TOO, THAT AS WE SAW WITH THE HURRICANES,
IT'S NOT NEW STRUCTURES HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT.
IT IS THE OLD STRUCTURES HAVE TO BE WORRIED ABOUT.
ANY NEW BUILDINGS IN THIS DEVELOPMENT ARE GOING TO BE BUILT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STRINGENT FLORIDA NEW BUILDING CODE
REQUIREMENTS.
THOSE ARE THE TYPE OF BUILDINGS THAT BY AND LARGE FARED MUCH
BETTER.
IMPORTANT NOTE WHEN TALKING ABOUT COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WE HAD A FULL, VIBRANT DISCUSSION

ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES.
ABOUT THE LOSS OF, QUOTE, INDUSTRIAL LAND AND WHAT USES ARE
ACTUALLY LOST IN THIS SITUATION, AND THEY VOTED TO APPROVE
IT OR TO FIND IT RECOMMENDED FOR CONSISTENT, AS A CONSISTENT
TO YOU.
WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO ASK DARRYL TO SAY A COUPLE OF WORDS
ABOUT WHAT IS NEXT FOR THE AREA.
5:37:05PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
DARRYL SHAW WITH CASA YBOR.
CONGRATULATIONS.
I THOUGHT I WOULD TALK FOR A FEW MINUTES ABOUT THE VISION
FOR YBOR AND FOR ITS REVITALIZATION.
THAT IS A VISION TO RETURN YBOR TO BEING A RESIDENTIAL MIXED
USE DISTRICT, NOT AN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT, A RESIDENTIAL
MIXED USE DISTRICT WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF RESIDENTS WHO ARE
ABLE TO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT, WORK IN THE DISTRICT, ENJOY
THEMSELVES IN THE DISTRICT, THAT'S THE VISION.
THE WAY WE GET THERE IS TO THINK THROUGH 7th AVENUE AS THE
MAIN RETAIL SPINE FROM NUCCIO TO 22nd STREET.
THE MAIN RETAIL SPINE FOR THE DISTRICT, THE HEART OF THE
DISTRICT AND THEN BEGIN TO SURROUND 7th AVENUE WITH
RESIDENCES OF ALL SORTS -- APARTMENTS, CONDOMINIUMS, TOWN
HOUSES, SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
AND WE ARE LOOKING AT DOING SO.
GASWORX IN THE SOUTHEAST, YBOR HARBOR ON THE SOUTH, THE

SHERIFF'S OFFICE REDEVELOPMENT ON THE NORTH, AND THEN EAST
YBOR ON THE EAST.
WHEN YOU LEAVE COLUMBIA RESTAURANT, YOU LOOK TO YOUR RIGHT,
YOU SEE VERY LITTLE BUT VACANT LAND OR OLDER INDUSTRIAL
BUILDINGS.
PART OF WHAT MADE YBOR SPECIAL WAS THE ABILITY TO LIVE NEAR
WHERE YOU WORK.
THE CIGAR WORKERS CAME TO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT BECAUSE THEY
COULD WORK IN THE CIGAR FACTORIES AND GET THERE BY FOOT OR
BY STREETCAR.
SO WE ARE ALSO THINKING THROUGH WHAT JOB PROMOTERS CAN WE
BRING INTO THE DISTRICT, AND THAT COULD BE MULTIPLE.
WE'RE THINKING THROUGH YBOR AS AN ARTS DISTRICT AND TRYING
TO BRING THE ARTISTS BACK TO THE DISTRICT TO CREATE A
VIBRANCY AND CREATIVENESS.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING VERY HARD TO BRING MILITARY CONTRACTORS
AND CREATE A COTTAGE INDUSTRY, MILITARY CONTRACTORS IN YBOR.
WE HAVE A NUMBER AND ARE CONTINUING TO WORK ON THAT.
WE'RE LOOKING AT THE TECH INDUSTRY, WHICH APPRECIATES AND
ENJOYS THE CREATIVE DISTRICT THAT CAN THRIVE IN THE AREA.
WE'RE ALSO BEING -- LOOKING AT THE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY.
AND I AM PLEASED TO SAY THAT WE'VE BEEN PARTNERING WITH
TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL TO EXPAND THE TMRD, TAMPA MEDICAL AND
RESEARCH DISTRICT, TO YBOR, AND I'M PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THIS
EVENING THAT TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL HAS A MATERIAL PORTION

OF THE LAND ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF YBOR, ADAMO DRIVE
ABUTTING THE CROSSTOWN CONNECTOR TO BUILD A NEW HOSPITAL
THERE, WHICH WILL BRING JOBS TO THE DISTRICT AND ALLOW
PEOPLE THE ABILITY TO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT, WALK TO WORK,
BIKE TO WORK.
ONE LAST POINT, IT --
5:40:31PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK WOULD LIKE YOU TO
REPEAT WHAT YOU SAID.
5:40:36PM >> ABOUT TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL.
WE HAVE A CONTRACT WITH TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL TO ACQUIRE A
PORTION OF THE LAND IN THE SOUTHEAST QUADRANT OF YBOR THAT
SITS ABUTTING ADAMO DRIVE AND THE SELMON -- NO, AND THE
CROSSTOWN CONNECTOR TO BUILD A SIGNIFICANT HOSPITAL IN YBOR
AND TAKE SOME OF THE OVERLOAD THAT EXISTS ON DAVIS ISLAND TO
THE DISTRICT.
WHAT IS IMPORTANT ABOUT THAT IS IT IS A BIG EMPLOYER.
MULTIPLE HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO WILL
ULTIMATELY WORK THERE HAVE THE ABILITY TO LIVE IN THE
DISTRICT, WALK TO WORK, BIKE TO WORK, TAKE THE STREETCAR TO
WORK.
WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
WE ARE LOOKING AT RESTORING THE GRID IN THAT SOUTHEAST
QUADRANT.
THIS IS NOT A ONE- OR TWO-STORY BUILDING WITH A SEA OF
SURFACE PARKING.

THIS IS RESTORATION OF THE ORIGINAL YBOR GRID INTO YBOR
BLOCKS THAT WILL BRING VERTICAL DEVELOPMENT THAT'S OUTSIDE
OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT WITH GROUND FLOOR RETAIL AND
GREENSPACE THAT WILL BE A MATERIAL EMPLOYER IN THE DISTRICT.
WHAT IS ALSO KEY IS THAT IT SITS ADJACENT TO 26th STREET,
WHICH IS THE ONLY ROAD THAT GOES THROUGH, OTHER THAN 15th
STREET, THAT GOES THROUGH NORTH, UNDERNEATH THE I-4 INTO
EAST YBOR AND SOUTH DOWN INTO PALMETTO BEACH.
SO IT HELPS CONNECT THOSE TWO NEIGHBORHOODS AND PROVIDES
HEALTH CARE AND ACCESS, CONVENIENT ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE TO
PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT AND YOUR BELIEF IN THE VISION FOR
YBOR.
5:42:35PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
5:42:37PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
NO.
I JUST WANT TO SAY, LIKE ALL OF US LISTENING VERY CLOSELY, I
WAS REMINISCING WHEN I WAS A YOUNG BOY LIVING IN YBOR CITY,
BEING BORN IN YBOR CITY.
AND BEFORE THE HMOs CAME TO BE, IT WAS CALLED MUTUAL AID
SOCIETY.
YOU HAD GONZALEZ CLINIC -- A COUPLE OF OTHER SMALLER ONES.
SO WE HAVE HERE FROM WHAT I'M LOOKING AT, RELIVING THE PAST
IN THE FUTURE.
THAT'S HOW I SEE IT, MAYBE I'M WRONG.

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT BUSINESSES AND TALK ABOUT PEOPLE LIVING
IN THE DISTRICT, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YBOR CITY WAS.
IT WAS REALLY A SUSTAINABLE CITY WITHIN ITSELF, OTHER THAN
IT WASN'T A CITY.
WEST TAMPA WAS A CITY.
BUT YBOR CITY WAS NOT.
BUT THE AMENITIES THAT WE HAD WERE WAY AHEAD OF TIME WITH
PEOPLE WHO HAD VERY LITTLE BUT WORKING TOGETHER THEY HAD A
LOT.
AND THAT'S WHAT MADE YBOR CITY AS POPULAR AS IT WAS.
NOT BECAUSE I WAS BORN THERE.
I WAS A BLACK CAT OF THE FAMILY.
BUT THAT'S HOW IT WAS.
5:43:43PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
5:43:49PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.
I ACTUALLY HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR TYLER.
I'M SORRY.
MR. HUDSON.
STAFF BROUGHT UP SOMETHING THAT I HADN'T CONSIDERED IN THIS,
AND THAT IS THE CSX FREIGHT LINE.
5:44:10PM >> BRIGHT LINE OR FREIGHT LINE?
5:44:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
CSX FREIGHT LINE.
THAT IS A HUGE DEAL, BUT KNOWING THAT THERE WILL BE POSSIBLY
A HOSPITAL THERE LESSENS MY CONCERN SOMEWHAT, BUT I'M GOING
TO ASK THE QUESTION THAT I HAVE TO ASK BUT I PROBABLY KNOW

THE ANSWER TO IT.
HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO TALK TO CSX?
5:44:33PM >> A LOT.
SHOCKINGLY, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS.
5:44:37PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I AM SHOCKED.
THEY ARE VERY HARD.
5:44:40PM >> CAN YOU SEE THE CURSOR?
FROM A TIDAL PERSPECTIVE, THE LAND HERE HAS BEEN A LITTLE
BIT CHALLENGING.
THERE IS A POINT WHERE IT APPEARS SOME OLD PLAT CORNERS
DON'T MEET.
IF YOU GET OUT THERE FIRST WITH THE FLAG, IT'S YOURS.
WE BOUGHT SOME LAND OVER THE YEARS FROM CSX.
THERE'S SOME ABANDONED RAIL SPURS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN
WILLING TO SELL TO HELP COMPLETE, ESPECIALLY THIS AREA DOWN
HERE TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S FRONTAGE.
ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, THAT'S COPPER TAIL BREWING, WORKING ON
A DEVELOPMENT FOR THIS SITE, AND ACTUALLY -- ESPECIALLY
GETTING MONEY FROM YOU TO BUY ABANDONED RAIL SPURS HERE.
WE'VE BEEN IN VERY ACTIVE CONVERSATIONS, ABOUT 6th AVENUE,
WHICH IS REALLY PERHAPS WIDER THAN RAIL OR RIGHT-OF-WAY
NEEDED.
THAT'S WHAT RUNS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE RAIL, POTENTIAL
OPPORTUNITY IN THE FUTURE TO DISCUSS WHETHER THEY NEED QUITE
ALL OF THAT AND HAVE ALMOST A RAILS TO TRAILS WITH RAILS

SITUATION THERE.
WE TALK TO CSX A LOT.
THERE ARE SOME ABANDONED RAIL SPURS OVER HERE, TOO.
I DON'T KNOW -- THAT HOPEFULLY ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION.
BUT WE HAVE TALKED WITH THEM A LOT.
5:45:57PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR BECAUSE IT IS HARD.
5:45:59PM >> YES, IT IS.
5:46:01PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SECONDLY, I'M KIND OF CURIOUS ABOUT WHERE
THAT TRACT GOES.
I KNOW THAT'S NOT TECHNICALLY PART OF THIS, BUT IT GOES
NORTH.
HOW USED IS IT?
BECAUSE I DO KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED WITH OUR
PORT SO DESPERATELY IS WAYS -- I MEAN, AS WE ADD MORE
CONTAINER CRANES AND LIKE MAX CRANES, WE NEED WAYS TO GET
CARGO OUT THAT ISN'T ON A TRUCK.
5:46:32PM >> CORRECT, YES.
CRANES ARE MUCH FURTHER SOUTH.
WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING THAT IMPEDES CSX'S ABILITY TO USE
ALL OF THE RAIL WHERE IT CURRENTLY HAS TRACK.
ABANDONED SPURS, THERE'S NO TRACK.
JUST A STRIP OF LAND.
WE'LL SEE WHAT THE MASSING OF BUILDINGS AND STUFF LOOKS
LIKE.
WE ARE NOT IMPEDING ANY WAY CSX FREIGHT OPERATIONS.

THAT'S NOT EASY TO DEAL WITH THEM ON IF PROPOSING THAT.
I FEEL LIKE I'M NOT ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION AS COMPLETELY AS
I COULD.
WE'RE NOT MESSING WITH THE FREIGHT.
WE CAN'T.
5:47:07PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I GUESS MY QUESTION IS BECAUSE I JUST DON'T
KNOW THE RAIL MAPPING.
5:47:10PM >> IT'S NOT USED BACK HERE.
YOU CAN GO RIGHT UP TO THE EXPRESSWAY HERE.
5:47:14PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
THAT IS NOT THE RAIL THAT THEY USE, THAT THEY WOULD USE FOR
FREIGHT.
5:47:21PM >> NO.
YOU CAN SEE HERE THESE LITTLE CURVES, THAT'S THE OLD SPUR
REMNANTS.
IT'S KIND OF A MESS.
5:47:27PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.
BUT THEN WHERE DOES THE RAIL THAT GOES NORTH?
5:47:31PM >> A LOT OF THE RAIL KIND OF GOES THIS WAY FURTHER OUT UNDER
THE EXPRESSWAY.
UP AT 6th AVENUE, I THINK.
YEAH.
5:47:38PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.
THAT WAS MY MAIN QUESTION.
5:47:42PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

ARE YOU FINISHED?
RESERVE TIME FOR REBUTTAL?
5:47:50PM >> LET ME SEE IF THERE IS PUBLIC COMMENT.
IF THERE ISN'T, I WON'T USE REBUTTAL.
5:47:55PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK
TO THIS ITEM?
MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
OPPOSED?
AYES HAVE IT.
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
5:48:07PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THERE IS ONE THING I DID FORGET TO MENTION
BECAUSE I WAS JUST THERE AND IF I DON'T MENTION IT.
THE AREA THAT IS EAST OF THE SELMON IS NOT JUST INDUSTRIAL.
THEY HAVE NEIGHBORHOODS THERE, AND THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE
REBUILDING.
SO I DON'T WANT TO CLASSIFY THAT AS SIMPLY INDUSTRIAL LAND.
JUST HAD TO SAY THAT.
5:48:30PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I HAVE SOME OBSERVATIONS.
ONE, I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK -- IF THIS COMES TO FRUITION,
WE NEED TO LOOK AT EXTENDING THE STREETCAR SLIGHTLY TO THE
EAST AND GET IT POSSIBLY TO A MEDICAL DISTRICT.
WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY FROM MOBILITY HERE TONIGHT, DO WE.
I'LL BE KNOCKING -- I'LL BE KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR TOMORROW.

NO, I THINK THIS IS EXCITING.
I LOOK AT THIS AS A CONTINUATION OF WHAT WE HAVE SEEN FROM
WE USED TO HAVE HARBOR ALONG HILLSBOROUGH RIVER AND
DOWNTOWN.
THAT CHANGED.
OF COURSE, WE'VE ALL SEEN IN OUR LIFETIMES WHAT'S HAPPENED
IN CHANNELSIDE AND WATER STREET.
I DON'T THINK ANYBODY UP HERE WOULD TURN THE CLOCK BACK TO
THE WAREHOUSE DISTRICTS AND THE TYPE OF STUFF THAT WE SAW
THERE.
AS WE SEE THIS VISION FROM OBVIOUSLY, SEEN FROM SOME OF THE
VISIONARIES, INCLUDING MR. SHAW, WHO IS IN THE AUDIENCE
TODAY, OF THIS SORT OF COMPLETING THAT VISION AND REALLY
MAKING IT SOMETHING THAT IS A SPECIAL AREA.
SO OFTEN NOW WE SEE COUNTY COMMISSION EXPANDING THE URBAN
SERVICE AREA, SO COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO I THINK AT LEAST IDEA
OF URBANISM IN ORDER TO COMBAT THAT WE NEED TO ENCOURAGE THE
DENSITY AND THE DEVELOPMENT IN THESE KEY AREAS WHERE WE CAN
HAVE LIVE, WORK, PLAY AREAS.
THAT IS WHAT CITY OF TAMPA CAN BRING TO THE TABLE AND TO
COMBAT THE URBAN SPRAWL AND THE DEPENDENCE UPON MOTOR
VEHICLES.
I'M EXCITED TO SEE THIS.
I HOPE IT COMES TO FRUITION.
I HOPE YOU SEE THE VISION THROUGH.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.
COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
5:50:09PM >>BILL CARLSON:
ONE COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK BROUGHT UP AND ALSO
STAFF, THE SENSITIVITY TO THE PORT AND MARITIME INDUSTRY.
IF WE CUT OFF OUR JOBS, NOBODY NEEDS TO LIVE HERE ANYMORE.
NOT EVERY JOB CAN BE REMOTE.
AS A.I. TAKES OVER SOME OF THE WHITE COLLAR JOBS, THE HIGH
PAYING BLUE COLLAR JOBS AT THE PORT WILL BE MORE AND MORE
IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T EASILY BE REPLACED, AT LEAST
NOW WITH A.I. AND ROBOTS.
I DON'T THINK THIS ENCROACHES ON THAT, BUT I WANT TO SET AS
A WARNING TO ANYBODY ELSE, IF THEY START TO GO FURTHER -- IF
OTHER PEOPLE START TO GO FURTHER SOUTH OR EAST AND SOUTH,
THAT'S WHEN -- IT'S NOT THE PORT THAT WOULD COME OUT.
THE MAYOR SITS ON THE PORT.
THE PORT ITSELF MAY NOT COME OUT BUT THE MARITIME INDUSTRY
WILL COME OUT AND PROTEST WHEN THEY SEE IT IS ENCROACHING.
THE REASON THEY WOULD PROTEST, IT MEANS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
HIGH PAYING BLUE COLLAR JOBS.
THE OTHER THING IS THE SENSITIVITY TO THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE CAN'T TAKE THE CLOCK BACK TO THE 1950s
AND REPLACE WHAT WAS THERE AND CAN'T LIMIT WHO CAN MOVE BACK
TO YBOR.
SOME PEOPLE IN YBOR WOULD LIKE IT TO BE EXACTLY LIKE IT WAS
BEFORE, BUT I THINK THESE OWNERS HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY

SENSITIVE.
I'VE SAID BEFORE IF YOU GO TO PLACES LIKE WILLIAMSBURG, 90%
OF THE BUILDINGS WERE RE-CREATED THERE.
NOW THEY ARE A HUNDRED YEARS OLD.
WARSAW, THE OLD TOWN THAT LOOKS 500 YEARS OLD, WAS
COMPLETELY RE-CREATED BECAUSE IT WAS TORN OUT BY THE NAZIS
AND SOVIETS.
AS NEW BUILDINGS POP UP, MR. SHAW AND HIS PARTNERS, THEY
LOOK LIKE THEY ARE A HUNDRED YEARS OLD.
I FIND THAT THE RESIDENTS OF YBOR ARE INCREDIBLY HAPPY WITH
IT, EVEN THOUGH IT IS DEFINING A NEW YBOR BUT IT IS
SENSITIVE TO OLD YBOR.
WITH THOSE TWO SENSITIVITIES IN MIND, I'M SUPPORTIVE OF
THIS.
BUT FOR ANYBODY ELSE WHO COMES THROUGH, TO ME, YOU'VE GOT TO
MEET THOSE TESTS AMONG ALL THE OTHERS.
THANK YOU.
5:52:14PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
VERY GOOD.
SAY SOMETHING ELSE?
5:52:17PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YEAH.
I'M TORN ON THIS ONE BECAUSE OF THE INDUSTRIAL LAND, THE
COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA AND JUST THE PORT IN GENERAL.
I'M LESS CONCERNED WITH 25-09 THAN I AM WITH 25-10 AND 11.
SO I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GET A LOT MORE -- HAVE TO HAVE A LOT
MORE PUSH ON THAT.

THIS AREA ALONG 7th AVENUE OUTSIDE THE HISTORIC DISTRICT
I'M NOT AS CONCERNED ABOUT.
BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT 10 AND 11.
5:52:53PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I'LL RESERVE THE SAME THOUGHTS I HAD ABOUT
THAT AT THE TIME.
WE'LL BE GOING BACK AND FORTH ON THAT ONE WHEN IT COMES
BEFORE US TONIGHT.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
COUNCILMAN VIERA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ THIS ONE, PLEASE?
5:53:07PM >>LUIS VIERA:
DID WE CLOSE OFFICIALLY?
OKAY.
I'VE GOT TO READ IT.
I MOVE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

5:54:21PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA.
A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
GLAD I DIDN'T HAVE TO READ THAT.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
OPPOSED?
THE AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
5:54:33PM >>THE CLERK:
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
SECOND READING AND ADOPTION WILL BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 20th,
2025, AT 10 A.M. AT OLD CITY HALL, LOCATED AT 315 EAST
KENNEDY BOULEVARD, THIRD FLOOR, TAMPA, FLORIDA, 33602.
5:54:49PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
HERE WE GO.
ITEM NUMBER 4.
5:54:57PM >> GOOD EVENING.
KATRINA CORCORAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
HERE TO PRESENT ON TA/CPA 25-06.
THIS IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TEXT AMENDMENT INCLUDING FIVE
SECTIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, RECREATION OPEN SPACE,
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, SOLID WASTE, INTERGOVERNMENTAL
COORDINATION AND DEFINITIONS.
STARTING WITH RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE, THE OBJECTIVES HERE
INCLUDE ACCESS TO RECREATION OPEN SPACE, PARKS, ALSO CURRENT
AND FUTURE NEEDS AND DEMANDS FOR PARKS AND OPEN SPACE AS
WELL AS CONSERVATION, RESILIENCE AND SUSTAINABILITY,
SPECIFICALLY AS IT RELATES TO PARKS.

THIS SECTION PROVIDES LONG-RANGE POLICY DIRECTION ON
EXISTING AND FUTURE RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE NEEDS.
YOU'LL SEE THIS THROUGHOUT THE SLIDES, BUT THE DRAFT
LANGUAGE HAS BEEN UPDATED, STREAMLINED AND REARRANGED.
NOTABLE NEW TOPIC AREAS FOR THE SECTION INCLUDE ACCESS IN
HEALTH, RESILIENCE AND SUSTAINABILITY AND UPDATES TO THE
PARKS AND RECREATION LEVEL OF SERVICE OR L.O.S., WHICH I'LL
NOTE IS NOW WITHIN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT SECTION.
THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, THE OBJECTIVES INCLUDE MAINTAINING
A SUSTAINABLE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM OR CIP FOR GROWTH
AND REPAIR.
ALSO INCLUDES ADHERENCE TO LEVEL OF SERVICE OR L.O.S.
STANDARDS.
I'LL NOTE WITH THIS THAT WE HAVE ADOPTED LEVEL OF SERVICE
STANDARDS, WHICH ARE REQUIRED BY STATE STATUTE TO MEET, AND
WE ALSO HAVE TARGET LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS WHICH ARE FOR
PLANNING PURPOSES.
AN EXAMPLE OF THAT WOULD BE MOBILITY.
WE ALSO HAVE LANGUAGE ON ENHANCING RESILIENCY AND
SUSTAINABILITY AS IT RELATES TO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
PROJECT.
PROMOTING CITYWIDE RESOURCE ALLOCATION, SO MAKING SURE THESE
PROJECTS ARE NOT JUST IN ONE PORTION OF THE CITY.
AND THEN COLLABORATIVE DECISION MAKING SO MAKING SURE THAT
THESE PROCESSES ARE UNDERSTOOD BY THE PUBLIC.

AGAIN, THIS SECTION PROVIDES LONG-RANGE POLICY DIRECTION ON
INFRASTRUCTURE, CAPITAL PROJECTS AND FUNDING.
IT DOES INCLUDE THE L.O.S. PORTIONS THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER
AS WELL AS CONCURRENCY AND GUIDES THE ANNUAL CIP REVIEW AND
SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS DEVELOPMENT, WHICH ERICA SPOKE ABOUT
EARLIER.
NOTABLE NEW TOPICS, INCLUDE PROJECT RESILIENCY AND
SUSTAINABILITY AS WELL AS NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT AS IT RELATES TO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS.
OUR THIRD SECTION THAT WE HAVE TONIGHT IS SOLID WASTE.
THE OBJECTIVES HERE INCLUDE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY AS
CONTINUED PRIORITIES.
NATURAL ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION, ADHERENCE TO STANDARDS AND
INCORPORATING BEST PRACTICES FOR SOLID WASTE.
REDUCING WASTE THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SUSTAINABLE
PRACTICES IN EDUCATION.
THINK RECYCLING.
FINALLY, ADAPTATION TO NATURAL HAZARDS SO THINKING ABOUT
HURRICANE DISPOSAL, BEFORE A HURRICANE AND AFTER A
HURRICANE.
AGAIN, THIS LOOKS AT LONG-RANGE POLICY DIRECTION ON SOLID
WASTE DISPOSAL AND MANAGEMENT.
NOTABLE NEW TOPICS IN THIS INCLUDE INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE
MANAGEMENT, LOOKING AT THE RESILIENCE OF OPERATIONS AND
STORM EVENTS, AND EFFICIENCIES VIA EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES.

OUR FOURTH SECTION TONIGHT IS INTERGOVERNMENTAL
COORDINATION.
OBJECTIVES INCLUDE MULTIJURISDICTIONAL PLANNING
COORDINATION, ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND TOPICS, REGIONAL
TRANSPORTATION PLANNING, SCHOOLS PLANNING, AND PORT AND
AIRPORT MASTER PLANNING.
THIS PROVIDES DIRECTION ON EFFICIENCY IN GOVERNMENT AS WELL
AS COORDINATION BETWEEN GOVERNMENTS, AGENCIES, AND
DEPARTMENTS.
THIS SECTION DOESN'T HAVE AS MANY NOTABLE NEW SECTIONS.
IT HAS MAJORLY BEEN STREAMLINED.
BUT IMPORTANT TOPICS INCLUDE COORDINATION MECHANISMS BETWEEN
JURISDICTIONS.
AGAIN, LOOKING AT LAND USE, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND
TRANSPORTATION IMPACTS ACROSS JURISDICTIONS.
THIS ALSO INCLUDES MASTER PLAN AND LOCAL AREA AUTHORITY
REVIEWS AND COORDINATION.
OUR FINAL SECTION TONIGHT IS THE DEFINITIONS SECTION.
THIS SECTION LOOKS AT STANDARDIZED DEFINITIONS FOR KEY TERMS
USED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
IT DOES ENSURE CONSISTENCY AND CLARITY ACROSS ALL SECTIONS,
POLICIES AND REGULATIONS.
WE HAVE REMOVED LANGUAGE THAT IS NOT CURRENTLY EITHER WITHIN
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OR IS EASILY DEFINED OUTSIDE OF THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

EXAMPLE I LIKE TO USE WITH THAT IS THE TERM GARBAGE.
WE TOOK THAT OUT.
IT'S NOT NECESSARY.
BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN TERMS THAT ARE USED IN THE COMP PLAN
THAT ARE VERY SPECIFIC TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
EXAMPLE WOULD BE BONUS CEILING.
SOMETHING YOU WANT DEFINED WITHIN YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
OVERALL, THE SECTION WILL IMPROVE INTERPRETATION AND
APPLICATION OF POLICIES BY DECISION MAKERS, DEVELOPERS, AND
THE PUBLIC.
DID WANT TO NOTE A FEW REVISIONS SINCE THE PLANNING
COMMISSION HEARING.
WE DID UPDATE A TERM PER THE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY PUBLIC
SCHOOLS REQUEST.
SO THAT IS NOW DISTRICT EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES PLAN.
WE DID ADD A PAGE SHOWING THE STRIKE-THROUGH OF SOME ADOPTED
FLU AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES THAT ARE BEING MOVED
INTO THE PROPOSED SECTIONS AS WELL AS THE MOVEMENT OF
ADOPTED ROS POLICY MOVING INTO THE ENVIRONMENTAL SECTION.
WE ADD A STRIKE THROUGH OF ADOPTED INFRASTRUCTURE DUE TO
DUPLICATION WITH THE PROPOSED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT SECTION.
FINALLY, DEFINITION SECTION IS INCLUDING TERMS PREVIOUSLY
TRAVELING WITH THE FLU AMENDMENT DUE TO THE TIME LINE ON
THAT.
WE DID HAVE STAKEHOLDER AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT IN JUNE.

FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENTS, PROJECT WEBSITE, PUBLIC OUTREACH
KICKOFF.
WE HAD TWO PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT MEETINGS IN PERSON AND VIRTUAL.
E-MAIL AND SOCIAL MEDIA OUTREACH CAMPAIGN.
WE DO PROVIDE COMPARATIVE CROSSWALKS FOR ALL OF THESE
SECTIONS THAT SHOWS WHAT IS NEW AND EXISTING FOR THE
SECTIONS, WHAT WE DELETED, IF THAT IS A MAJOR CHANGE.
WE DO HAVE MAIN PROJECT PAGE AS WELL AS A PROJECT PAGE THAT
YOU CAN SEE HERE FOR TA/CPA 25-06, WE HAD A PUBLIC COMMENT
BOX THAT WAS AVAILABLE ONLINE THROUGHOUT THIS PERIOD FOR
FOLKS TO PROVIDE COMMENTS ON THESE SECTIONS.
FOR AGENCY COMMENT, WE DID DO PRELIMINARY AND FORMAL AGENCY
COMMENT REVIEW PROCESS FOR THIS UPDATE.
NO OBJECTIONS WERE RECEIVED.
ALSO LIKE TO NOTE THAT STAFF LOOKED AT THESE SECTIONS FOR SB
180 IMPACTS IN COORDINATION WITH CITY LEGAL.
WE FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE SECTIONS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING
AND TRANSMITTING TO THE STATE.
FINALLY, OUR CONSISTENCY REVIEW HERE, THIS JUST SHOWS IT IS
CONSISTENT WITH THE ADOPTED RECREATION OPEN SPACE CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT, SOLID WASTE AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION
SECTIONS LANGUAGE.
YOU CAN SEE REPRESENTED GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES ON
THIS SLIDE.
FINALLY, THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOUND TA/CPA 25-06

CONSISTENT WITH THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
RECOMMEND TRANSMITTAL BY TAMPA CITY COUNCIL.
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
6:01:35PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
6:01:36PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I JUST HAVE TO ASK, BECAUSE IF I DON'T,
SOMEONE IS GOING TO ASK.
JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CLARIFYING, THIS HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH LAND USE AND ZONING.
6:01:48PM >> YES.
THIS IS ONLY FOR RECREATION OPEN SPACE, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT,
SOLID WASTE, INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION AND DEFINITIONS.
ONLY THING I WILL NOTE, WHICH I NOTED IN THE SLIDES IN THE
PRESENTATION, IS THAT THERE ARE TERMS RELATED TO THE FUTURE
LAND USE SECTION THAT ARE NOW IN THE DEFINITION SECTION JUST
BECAUSE OF TIMING.
6:02:05PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
YEAH.
6:02:07PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I'M JUST GOING TO SAY IF YOU ASK THIS
COUNCIL THE DEFINITION OF GARBAGE, YOU WOULD GET SIX
DIFFERENT ANSWERS.
6:02:15PM >> IT'S DEFINED BY MERRIAM-WEBSTER.
6:02:19PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE STILL ARGUE OVER THAT.
VERY GOOD.
FOR EVERYBODY THAT IS A PART, I KNOW THESE -- ANYBODY
OBSERVING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS A

ROUTINE.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE LEVEL OF WORK THAT GOES INTO HOW MUCH
WORK THESE GUYS DO IN PREPARING THIS.
IT'S A LOT.
A LOT OF WORK.
THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THAT.
APPRECIATE IT.
IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO
ITEM 4?
WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
OPPOSED?
GREAT.
MOVE TO TRANSMIT FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
A SECOND FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
OPPOSED?

ITEM 5 IS AB 2-25-15.
THIS IS FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2905 NORTH 50th
STREET.
THE REQUEST IS FOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES FOR THE
CLASSIFICATION OF A RESTAURANT, CONSUMPTION ON PREMISES ONLY
FOR THE SALE OF BEER, WINE AND LIQUOR.
I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW YOU THE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED WITH THE
REQUEST.
SO THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON 50th STREET.
THIS IS 50th.
THIS IS 21st AVENUE.
THE BLUE LINE IS THE ENTIRE -- THE PARCEL BOUNDARY.
THERE IS A HOTEL ON THE SITE AND THEN THERE IS THE OTHER
STRUCTURE ON THE SITE, WHICH WOULD BE THE RESTAURANT USE.
THIS IS THE REQUEST FOR ALCOHOL SALES, THE OUTLINE THAT'S IN
RED.
THAT IS THE AREA FOR THE ALCOHOL SALES.
SO I'LL SHOW YOU THOSE PICTURES SHORTLY, BUT THE REQUEST IS
FOR INDOOR AREA OF SALES CONTAINING 11,213 SQUARE FEET.
THE OUTDOOR AREA FOR SALES WHICH WOULD CONTAIN 1,062 SQUARE
FEET.
I HAVE FOR YOU THE ZONING MAP.

SO THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE THAT'S OUTLINED IN RED.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THE SITE IS BOUNDED BY I-4 TO THE SOUTH.
THIS IS 50th STREET THAT'S ON THE WEST.
AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THAT THE COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE ZONING
EXISTS ALONG 50th STREET.
YOU HAVE YOUR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL USES.
YOU HAVE A GAS STATION THAT'S HERE DIRECTLY SOUTH OF THE
SITE AND THEN ALSO TO THE WEST AND THEN A RETAIL USE AND
MORE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL USE THERE TO THE NORTH.
I HAVE A FEW PHOTOS OF THE SITE.
THIS IS A VIEW OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
THIS IS THE NORTH CORNER.
JUST A CLOSE-UP OF IT.
THIS IS IF YOU ARE AT THE CORNER OF 21st.
YOU CAN SEE THE GAS STATION THAT'S THERE ON THE SOUTH.
THIS IS INTERNAL TO THE SITE.
THIS IS THE HOTEL THAT EXISTS.
BUT THAT WOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE SALES AREA FOR
ALCOHOL.
THIS IS THE EASTERN BOUNDARY OF THE SITE, WHICH IS LOCATED
HERE.
LET ME ZOOM OUT JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE.
YOU CAN SEE THE INTERSTATE THAT'S BORDERING THE BOUNDARY OF
THE SITE.
ANOTHER VIEW SOUTH.

AND THEN THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH ON 50th STREET.
THIS IS A VIEW NORTH OF THE SITE, OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
DRC STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE REQUEST, FINDS THE REQUEST
INCONSISTENT.

THANK YOU, COUNCIL.

LaCHONE DOCK, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
ITEM 6 IS AB 2-25-20 FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 340 EAST
DAVIS BOULEVARD.
THE REQUEST IS FOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES SMALL VENUE.
CONSUMPTION ON PREMISES ONLY AND FOR THE SALE OF BEER AND
WINE.
THIS IS THE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED WITH THE REQUEST.
SO THIS IS THE PROPERTY THAT IS LOCATED ALONG DAVIS
BOULEVARD.
THIS IS CHESAPEAKE AVENUE.
THIS IS THE PROPERTY BOUNDARY THAT IS OUTLINED IN BLACK.
SO THE AREA THAT IS IN RED IS IDENTIFIED AS THE INDOOR AB
SALES AREA UNDER THE REQUEST THIS EVENING.
AND THAT WOULD CONTAIN 1,743 SQUARE FEET.
THE AREA THAT'S IN BLUE IS THE OUTDOOR AB SALES AREA, AND
THAT IS -- THAT WOULD CONTAIN 3,051 SQUARE FEET OF SALES
AREA.
YOU CAN SEE THE SURFACE PARKING IS LOCATED HERE ON THE SIDE
OF THE BUILDING WITH ACCESS FROM CHESAPEAKE AND SURFACE
PARKING SPACE THAT'S LOCATED THERE IN FRONT OF THE SITE.
AND THIS IS THE ZONING MAP.
THIS IS THE AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
THE SITE IS IN RED OUTLINED IN RED.
THIS IS CHESAPEAKE, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS IS ALONG THE
COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR, THIS PORTION OF DAVIS BOULEVARD.

YOU HAVE THE CG ZONING AND A COUPLE OF PD ZONINGS THAT ARE
WITHIN THAT AREA.
AND THEN YOU MOVE INTO THE RESIDENTIAL USES AS YOU HEAD
FURTHER WEST OR SOUTHWEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
THEN I HAVE A FEW PICTURES OF THE SITE.
ON THE LEFT, THESE TWO PICTURES ARE THE SUBJECT SITE AND
THIS IS ON DAVIS BOULEVARD AND ON THE RIGHT, THOSE ARE
PICTURES OF THE SITE AT CHESAPEAKE FROM CHESAPEAKE AVENUE.
THAT IS TO SHOW A CLOSE-UP OF THE SITE.
THIS IS NORTH OF THE SITE.
AND THIS IS AT THE CORNER OF CHESAPEAKE.
THIS IS LOOKING NORTH.
THE SITE IS ON THE LEFT IN THE PICTURE.
THIS IS EAST OF THE SITE.
THIS IS THE ALLEY THAT IS WEST OF THE SITE AND THE SITE IS
OFF TO THE RIGHT IN THE PICTURE.
THIS IS FURTHER WEST OF THE SITE.
AND THEN ONE MORE PICTURE.
THIS IS WEST, AND THIS IS THE VIEW IF YOU WERE LOOKING
SOUTHWEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
THE DRC STAFF REVIEWED THE REQUEST, FINDS THE REQUEST
INCONSISTENT AND THIS IS DUE TO THE WAIVERS THAT ARE
REQUESTED.
THERE ARE THREE WAIVERS REQUESTED.
AND ONE IS RELATED TO THE DISTANCE FROM THE RESIDENTIAL

USES.
THE OTHER IS THE AB SALES ESTABLISHMENT AND THEN THERE IS
THE REDUCTION FOR THE PARKING ON-SITE.
6:11:52PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO, YOUR LIGHT WAS ON.
6:11:54PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:

ANYTHING ELSE?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
6:12:13PM >>LaCHONE DOCK:
THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
6:12:14PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
APPLICANT?
6:12:34PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
ALEX SCHALER, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT FOR ONE OF TWO AGENDA
ITEMS THAT WE HAVE ON THE RECORD TONIGHT THAT ARE REALLY
SMART USES OF ADAPTIVE REUSE.
I THINK THAT WHILE WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO GET PERMISSION TO
SELL AB SALES, AT THE CORE OF THE APPLICATIONS IS ADAPTIVE
REUSE.

THAT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND.
THE ALCOHOL PIECE IS ONE SMALL PIECE OF A VERY LARGER
PROJECT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE.
WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING AT 340 DAVIS, ADAPTIVE REUSE OF THE
CURRENT BUILDING ON-SITE.
IT USED TO BE THE EV SALES BUILDING ON THE CORNER THERE OF
THE COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR.
IT'S GOING TO BE A SMALL ICE CREAM SHOP CALLED KIKI'S.
ABOUT 22 CHAIRS INSIDE.
THAT'S THE REGULAR SEATING.
THIS IS A RENDERING AND SOME OF THE COUNTER SEATS AND A
TRADITIONAL ICE CREAM COUNTER.
WE WOULD LIKE THE ABILITY, REASON WE ARE HERE, TO SELL BEER
AND WINE OUT OF A REFRIGERATOR.
GRAB AND GO.
ANCILLARY TO THE ICE CREAM.
AS WE ALL KNOW, ALCOHOL IS A REVENUE DRIVER AND WE WOULD
LIKE THE ABILITY TO DO SOME OF THAT TO SELL THOSE SO THEY
CAN CONSUME ON-SITE.
THIS APPLICATION IS VERY NARROWED IN SCOPE.
WE ARE REQUESTING PERMISSION FOR BEER AND WINE ONLY, NO
LIQUOR.
ALSO MADE ADDITIONAL COMMITMENTS BECAUSE I'LL ZOOM OUT IN A
SECOND AND SHOW YOU THIS IS ON THE EDGE OF THE COMMERCIAL
CORRIDOR.

SO WE DO WANT TO BE SENSITIVE TO THE SURROUNDING
NEIGHBORHOODS.
WE ARE COMMITTING TO END ALCOHOL SALES AT NINE DURING THE
WEEK AND TEN FOR THE EXTENDED WEEKENDS.
COMMITTING TO NO OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND AND WE WILL NOT
HAVE ANY TABLES AND CHAIRS OUTSIDE.
THAT IS A GREEN TURFED AREA.
I'M GOING TO SPEAK TO THAT A LITTLE BIT LATER AS IT RELATES
TO PARKING.
AS MENTIONED AND LaCHONE DID A GOOD JOB SETTING THIS UP,
THE SITE IS COMMERCIALLY ZONED.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY REZONINGS PROPOSED FOR THIS.
ALREADY ZONED FOR COMMERCIAL USES TODAY.
AS MENTIONED, IT IS THE ONE THERE AT THE CORNER AT THE EDGE
OF THE COMMERCIAL STRIP.
THIS IS ALREADY A WET BLOCK.
IN TERMS OF PRECEDENT SETTING WE'RE NOT EXTENDING WET
ZONINGS FURTHER INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THIS BLOCK IS ALREADY WET ZONED.
DUCKWEED IS ON THE CORNER, ANCHOR BAR, KIND OF THAT STRIP
THERE.
WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING WE BELIEVE IS MUCH MORE NARROW IN
SCOPE.
THESE ALCOHOL APPROVALS HERE FOR THE REST OF THE BLOCK, THEY
CAN SELL UNTIL 3 A.M., CHAPTER 14 HOURS, BEER, WINE AND

LIQUOR, ON PREMISES AND PACKAGE SALES.
AGAIN, WE'RE PROPOSING LIMITED HOURS, NO OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED
SOUND AND ON PREMISES CONSUMPTION ONLY.
I KNOW THERE'S PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT OF A STICKER SHOCK WITH
THIS PARKING WAIVER.
TO BE CANDID, WE ACTUALLY FILED A DESIGN EXCEPTION A WHILE
AGO WHEN WE STARTED WORKING ON THIS PROJECT.
WHAT WE DID, THE CODE HAS AN ADMINISTRATIVE SECTION WHICH
ALLOWS YOU TO SEEK A 50% REDUCTION FOR ADAPTIVE REUSE
BUILDING SPECIFICALLY.
WHICH MAKES SENSE BECAUSE YOU'RE ALREADY KIND OF BOXED IN
WITH A BUILDING ON-SITE THAT YOU HAVE.
THAT'S WHAT WE DID.
THAT INTERIOR PORTION OF THE BUILDING THAT'S HIGHLIGHTED IN
YELLOW, THAT DEMANDS SIX SPACES AND WE ARE DOING SOME
PAVEMENT MARKINGS ON THE SITE.
WE WILL HAVE SIX SPACES THAT ACCOMMODATES THAT INDOOR SPACE.
HOWEVER, WHEN WE CAME TO THE WET ZONING, WE THOUGHT,
WOULDN'T IT BE A GREAT IDEA TO PUT TURF OUT HERE AND DO LIKE
A PLAY SET OR SOMETHING FOR THE KIDS TO RUN AROUND.
WHAT IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO WALK OUT THERE WITH A BEER.
THAT SHOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE, SO WE NEED TO INCLUDE THAT IN
THE WET ZONING AREA.
HOWEVER, THAT EXTREMELY DROVE UP THE PARKING REQUIREMENT AND
WE ARE NOW REQUIRED TO PROVIDE FROM 6 SPACES TO 115 SPACES

JUST FOR THIS OUTDOOR TURFED AREA.
I HAVE THIS VIDEO.
I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL PLAY.
I'VE TRIED TO DO VIDEOS HERE BEFORE AND DIDN'T GO OVER WELL.
THIS IS A VIDEO TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW BIG THIS IS.
THIS IS LIKE A RESIDENTIAL BACKYARD.
VERY SMALL AREA.
NOT LIKE ARMATURE WORKS.
NOTHING HUGE.
AGAIN, WE WANT PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO WALK OUT BACK WITH A
DRINK IF THEY WANT TO CHECK ON THEIR KIDS AND STAND OUTSIDE.
AGAIN, THAT IS THE REASON FOR THE PARKING WAIVER.
IT'S DIRECTLY RELATED TO ALL OF THIS SPACE THAT THE
OCCUPANCY IS CALCULATED AT SEVEN SQUARE FEET PER PERSON FOR
THE OPEN SPACE.
THAT ASSUMES WE COULD FIT 435 PEOPLE OUT THERE IN THE
BACKYARD.
THAT'S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.
AGAIN, WE DON'T FEEL LIKE WE NEED ANYWHERE NEAR 115 SPACES.
WE FEEL VERY CONFIDENT THAT THE SIX SPACES ON-SITE ARE MORE
THAN EFFICIENT FOR THE OPERATIONS AT THE ICE CREAM SHOP.
WITH THAT I'LL BRING UP NICKY PATEL.
HE IS THE OWNER.
HE WILL SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HIS VISION FOR KIKI'S.
6:17:08PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS NICK PATEL.
DAVIS ISLAND RESIDENT, TAMPA NATIVE AND HUSBAND AND DAD WITH
TWO AMAZING KIDS.
FEELS LIKE BOTH YESTERDAY AND LIFETIME AGO THAT DAVIS ISLAND
WAS HIT BY TWO BACK-TO-BACK HURRICANES.
IN THOSE TOUGH TIMES, THE COMMUNITY REALLY SHOWED WHAT IT IS
MADE OF.
PEOPLE HELPING EACH OTHER, CHECKING IN ON NEIGHBORS AND
COMING TOGETHER IN WAYS THAT REMIND US HOW SPECIAL THE
ISLAND IS.
CALLING IT KIKI'S, WELCOMING SPOT FOR ISLANDERS OF ALL AGES.
NOT A RESTAURANT, BUT SOMEWHERE TO STOP FOR COFFEE, ICE
CREAM, SMOOTHIES, SEE A FRIENDLY FACE AND BE PART OF
SOMETHING LOCAL.
ALSO LIKE TO OFFER BEER AND WINE FROM A SMALL GRAB AND GO
FRIDGE FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ENJOY A GLASS WITH FRIENDS AND
FAMILY WHILE KIDS PLAY NEARBY.
NOT ASKING FOR OFF-PREMISES SALE.
SIMPLE WAY TO MAKE THE SPACE INVITING FOR ADULTS.
SPOKEN WITH NEIGHBORS AND CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
WE KNOW THERE ARE A FEW CONCERNS, ALSO A LOT OF
ENCOURAGEMENT AND EXCITEMENT, ESPECIALLY FROM PARENTS WHO
WANT TO BRING A FAMILY FRIENDLY PLACE TOGETHER THAT IS NOT A
SPORTS BAR OR A RESTAURANT.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, KIKI IS ABOUT A COMMUNITY CREATING A

WARM, EASY PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO CONNECT, RELAX, ENJOY WHAT
MAKES DAVIS ISLANDS A SPECIAL PLACE TO LIVE.
6:18:31PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
WAIT.
THERE'S MORE.
ARE YOU DONE?
6:18:39PM >> OH, YES.
THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION.
HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTION.
6:18:43PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS?
ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?
ANYBODY WANTS TO COME UP.
START WITH YOUR NAME.
YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.
LINE UP AGAINST THE WALL, PLEASE.
6:19:02PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
MY NAME IS SCOTT DEFRATIES, 410 EAST DAVIS BOULEVARD.
I'VE BEEN A PROUD RESIDENT ON DAVIS ISLAND FOR 33 YEARS.
I'M ALSO A REGISTERED NURSE, WHICH MEANS I SPENT MY CAREER
ADVOCATING FOR HEALTH, SAFETY, AND COMMUNITY WELL-BEING.
VALUES I BELIEVE ARE AT RISK WITH THIS PROPOSAL.
I AM FIRMLY OPPOSED TO THIS SPECIAL USE WHICH WOULD ALLOW
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AT 340 EAST DAVIS.
I'M ESPECIALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE TWO WAIVERS BEING
REQUESTED, WHICH WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE REQUIRED

SEPARATION FROM NEARBY BUSINESSES AND HOMES.
THIS IS NOT JUST A MODEST VENUE SERVING BEER AND WINE.
IT IS NEARLY 5,000 SQUARE FEET COUNTING EVERYTHING THERE,
WITH OVER 3,000 SQUARE FEET OF OUTDOOR SPACE, OPERATING
UNTIL 1 A.M. ON WEEKENDS.
THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT FOOTPRINT WITH LATE HOURS AND A
NEIGHBORHOOD KNOWN FOR ITS PEACEFUL, WALKABLE CHARM.
THE APPLICANT CLAIMS COMPATIBILITY BUT THE WAIVERS TELL A
DIFFERENT STORY.
ALSO, IF YOU CAN SEE THE BREAKDOWN, THEY DID NOT SCAN TO THE
OTHER PART AT THE END OF THE BUSINESS.
I'LL SHOW YOU THAT IF I HAVE ENOUGH TIME.
THE FIRST WAIVER WOULD SHRINK THE REQUIRED DISTANCE BETWEEN
ALCOHOL SERVING ESTABLISHMENTS FROM 250 FEET TO JUST 149
FEET.
THAT IS A 40% REDUCTION.
THIS ISN'T JUST A TECHNICAL ADJUSTMENT.
IT'S A DECISION TO CONCENTRATE ALCOHOL VENUES MORE DENSELY
IN A SMALL AREA.
THAT KIND OF CLUSTERING CANNOT ALTER THE CHARACTER OF OUR
COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR.
IT LEADS TO MORE LATE-NIGHT DISTURBANCES, INCREASED TRAFFIC
AND HIGHER POTENTIAL FOR CRIME.
IT UNDERMINES THE THOUGHTFUL PLANNING THAT'S BEEN IN PLACE
AND KEEPS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SAFE AND LIVABLE.

THE SECOND WAIVER IS EVEN MORE CONCERNING, REDUCING THE
SEPARATION FROM RESIDENTIAL USES FROM 1,000 FEET TO JUST 39.
THINK ABOUT THAT.
39.
THAT IS A 96% REDUCTION.
IT PLACES THIS VENUE PRACTICALLY IN SOMEONE'S BACKYARD.
AS A NURSE, I'VE SEEN FIRSTHAND HOW NOISE, STRESS, AND
DISRUPTED SLEEP PATTERNS AFFECT HEALTH.
BY HAVING THIS WAIVER, IT DISREGARDS THE WELL-BEING OF THE
FAMILIES WHO LIVE NEARBY AND HAVE LIVED NEARBY.
THESE WAIVERS AREN'T SMALL TWEAKS.
THEY ARE CRITICAL SAFEGUARDS.
THEY PUT IN PLACE TO PROTECT THE BALANCE BETWEEN THRIVING
BUSINESS DISTRICT AND A QUIET ENVIRONMENT OF RESIDENTIAL
LIFE.
IF THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THESE WAIVERS, IT SENDS
TROUBLING MESSAGE THAT ZONING RULES CAN BE BENT AND THAT THE
CONCERNS OF LONGTIME RESIDENTS CARRY LESS WEIGHT THAN
COMMERCIAL CONVENIENCE.
I URGE YOU TO REJECT THIS APPLICATION.
I HAVE 13 SECONDS TO GO AHEAD AND SHOW YOU ON THIS PICTURE
HERE, THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS AREA RIGHT HERE, IF I CAN
PUT IT LIKE THIS RIGHT HERE.
NO, IT'S THIS WAY.
6:22:08PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU, YOUR TIME IS UP.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
6:22:10PM >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
APPRECIATE IT.
6:22:13PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SHE WOULD LIKE TO YOU LEAVE THE GRAPHIC.
START WITH YOUR NAME, PLEASE.
YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.
6:22:19PM >> HI.
MY NAME IS JAMIE DEFRATIES.
I LIVE RIGHT TWO HOUSES DOWN FROM WHERE THIS ESTABLISHMENT
WOULD BE.
LET ME SEE WHERE THIS SHOWS CHESAPEAKE AND DAVIS.
ALL THESE AREAS HERE ARE HOMES, AND THIS IS WHERE THAT
ESTABLISHMENT IS.
SO THE PHOTOS THAT YOU SAW THAT WERE PRESENTED DIDN'T PAN
THAT STREET.
THEY PANNED THE PARKING AREA OF THE APARTMENTS THAT ARE
RIGHT THERE AND DIDN'T REALLY SHOW THAT THIS IS WHERE THE
ESTABLISHMENT THEY ARE PROPOSING TO SELL BEER AND WINE, AND
THIS IS WHERE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ARE LOCATED.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY ARE VERY CLOSE.
SO I URGE YOU TO REJECT THIS PROPOSAL.
IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IF IT IS APPROVED THAT IF THEY
SOLD THIS PROPERTY TOMORROW, THAT WHAT THE OWNERS ARE
PROMISING TODAY, THAT AB SALES FOR BEER AND WINE WOULD THEN
CARRY OVER TO THE NEW OWNERS WHO THEN MAY HAVE DIFFERENT

PLANS FOR THAT BECAUSE THEY NOW ALREADY HAVE THE ABILITY TO
SELL BEER AND WINE THERE AT THAT ESTABLISHMENT.
THERE ARE MANY REASONS.
I DON'T THINK MANY OF YOU WOULD WANT A BAR NEXT TO YOU, 39
FEET FROM YOUR QUIET HOME THAT YOU ENJOY SITTING OUTSIDE ON
PEACEFUL DAVIS ISLAND, HAVING A CUP OF COFFEE IN THE MORNING
AND GLASS OF WINE IN THE EVENING IN YOUR OWN HOME.
BETWEEN THE NOISE AND LATE-NIGHT DISTURBANCES, THEY ARE
PRESENTING NOW THAT IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT AND THEY ARE
GOING TO STOP AT 9:00 AND 10:00.
ONCE IT'S APPROVED, ARE THEY APPROVING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO
STOP AT 10.
SO NOW YOU'LL SEND IT TO A NEW OWNER AND NOW IT CAN GO UNTIL
2, 3.
LITERALLY IT WOULD STOP AT 9 AND 10.
OKAY.
THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY INITIALLY HAD SAID.
JUST KIND OF CONCERNED THAT ONCE IT IS DONE, WHERE DOES IT
END.
IF IT SELLS TO SOMEBODY ELSE, NEW THING, BASICALLY BE LIVING
NEXT TO A BAR, MAYBE NOT.
MAYBE YOU GUYS ARE TELLING ME, NO, IT WILL STOP AT 9 AND
CAN'T TRANSFER TO A NEW PERSON WHO CHANGES THE RULES.
IT'S DEFINITELY A CONCERN.
I DON'T WANT TO BE SITTING NEXT TO A BAR WHEN I AM AT HOME.

6:24:25PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I THINK WHAT WILL HAPPEN, AS YOU ALL
EXPRESS YOUR OPINIONS, THE APPLICANTS WILL HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS CONCERNS IN THE REBUTTAL.
ALSO, COUNCIL THROUGH OUR CLARIFYING REMARKS, ADDRESS THOSE
THINGS AS WELL.
NEXT SPEAKER.
STATE YOUR NAME AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.
6:24:43PM >> HI.
ANA MURRAY.
I'M A 30-YEAR RESIDENT OF DAVIS ISLAND.
I AM OPPOSED TO THE ALCOHOL AND BEVERAGE APPLICATION AND
ASSOCIATED WAIVERS FOR KIKI'S ICE CREAM BAR AT 340 DAVIS
BOULEVARD, CITING FUNDAMENTAL INCOMPATIBILITY WITH THE
SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE LOCATION IS NEAR A MIX OF MULTI- AND SINGLE-FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL HOMES, AND THE INTRODUCTION OF ALCOHOL SALES
WOULD INITIATE AN UNACCEPTABLE PROCESS OF NEIGHBORHOOD
DEGRADATION.
AN ICE CREAM PARLOR'S CUSTOMER BASE IS PRIMARILY YOUNG
CHILDREN, DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT FROM AN ESTABLISHMENT
SERVING ALCOHOL.
APPROVING THIS LICENSE COULD LEAD TO INCREASED FOOT AND
VEHICULAR TRAFFIC, LITTER, NOISE DISTURBANCES AND PUBLIC
SAFETY CONCERNS THAT ARE ALL DURING AND WELL PAST
RESIDENTIAL HOURS.

THIS CHANGE DIRECTLY UNDERMINES THE TRANQUILITY AND
CHARACTER OF THE ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY.
I URGE YOU TO REJECT THIS.
6:25:32PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT SPEAKER, START WITH YOUR NAME.
6:25:37PM >> GOOD EVENING, COLIN O'CONNOR.
I AM ALSO DAVIS ISLAND RESIDENT.
I LIVE ON DANUBE AVENUE, DIRECTLY BEHIND WHERE THEY ARE
PROPOSING THE CURRENT LOCATION.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, I AM A FATHER OF FOUR CHILDREN, TWO
FOUR-YEAR-OLD TWINS, SIX-YEAR-OLD AND EIGHT-YEAR-OLD.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT DAVIS ISLAND REALLY NEEDS A FAMILY
CENTERED PLACE THAT ALSO ALLOWS FOR ADULTS TO ENJOY
THEMSELVES.
BASED ON THE CONCESSIONS THAT THEY HAVE MADE AROUND THE
TIMING OF ENDING ALCOHOL SALES AND JUST WHAT I DO WITH MY
FAMILY ON FRIDAY, SATURDAY OR ANY DAY OF THE WEEK, I WOULD
LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A SPACE THAT WE CAN USE WHERE
BOTH MY WIFE AND I CAN ENJOY A BEVERAGE WHILE OUR KIDS ARE
ENJOYING ICE CREAM OR PLAYING OUT BACK OR HAVING A GENERAL
PLACE WE CAN ALL GET TOGETHER.
I LIVE ABOUT A BLOCK FROM THE PLACE AND CAN SEE MYSELF
WALKING THERE VERY, VERY FREQUENTLY AND HAVE NO CONCERNS
ABOUT THE REUSE OF IT.
I ENCOURAGE YOU GUYS TO APPROVE WHAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR.

THANK YOU.
6:26:33PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
START WITH YOUR NAME.
6:26:37PM >> GOOD EVENING.
MY NAME IS JAMES TRISHMAN.
DI RESIDENT.
AFTER ABOUT 16 YEARS OF SERVICE IN THE MILITARY, I MOVED
HERE.
I CURRENTLY REPRESENT VETERANS.
I AM A DI RESIDENT, BUT I'M ALSO HERE, MY WIFE RECENTLY
OPENED UP A PILATES STUDIO RIGHT DOWN THE STREET FROM THE
LOCATION WE'RE SPEAKING OF.
I'M HERE TO EXPRESS MY SUPPORT FOR THIS, NOT JUST AS A
RESIDENT, BUT AS A BUSINESS OWNER.
I THINK THERE IS A THEME HERE THAT YOU WILL HEAR FROM PEOPLE
IN SUPPORT OF THIS.
IT'S COMMUNITY.
THIS ISN'T AS A FATHER OF TWO, HUSBAND OF A FITNESS BUSINESS
INSTRUCTOR DOWN THE BLOCK.
NOT LOOKING FOR PARTIES ALL NIGHT.
LOOKING FOR COMMUNITY.
AFTER EVERYTHING D.I. HAS BEEN THROUGH, THE ENTIRE VILLAGE,
MR. PATEL IS PUTTING A LOT OF EFFORT AND MONEY INTO
REVITALIZING IT, AS BUSINESS OWNER AND RESIDENT SUPPORT.

THIS IS JUST ONE PIECE OF THE PUZZLE WE THINK TO BRING
COMMUNITY TOGETHER.
A LOT OF THE CONCERNS WE'VE HEARD IS LIKE WHAT IF THIS
HAPPENS, WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS, WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS.
WE'RE NOT HERE FOR THESE WHAT-IFS.
THIS IS WHAT IS GOING ON.
THIS IS WHAT WE WANT AS RESIDENTS AND BUSINESS OWNERS.
WE ASK THAT YOU SUPPORT THIS WAIVER.
THANK YOU.
6:27:57PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT SPEAKER.
GOOD EVENING.
6:28:01PM >> HI.
MY NAME IS SHAWNA WIGS.
I PUBLISH TAMPA MAGAZINE AND I'M ALSO DAVIS ISLANDS
RESIDENT.
I AM A SINGLE MOM.
I HAVE A SECOND GRADER.
IT IS MY FIRST TIME AT CITY COUNCIL.
I'M HERE BECAUSE I STRONGLY SUPPORT BOTH THE KIKI'S ICE
CREAM PROJECT AND THE IMPROVEMENTS TO 220 EAST.
WE ALL KNOW DAVIS ISLAND IS AN AMAZING PLACE TO LIVE.
I'M CONVINCED THAT THESE IMPROVEMENTS MAKE IT EVEN BETTER.
SO I ENCOURAGE YOU GUYS TO APPROVE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

6:28:29PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT.
NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
6:28:34PM >> MIKE GRIZELL.
6:28:37PM >> MICHELLE GRIZELL.
6:28:39PM >> WE'VE BEEN RESIDENTS ON DAVIS ISLAND AT 108 CHESAPEAKE
AVENUE, SO IT'S RIGHT DOWN THE STREET FROM WHERE THEY ARE
PROPOSING THE OPENING OF KIKI'S.
WE HAVE TWIN EIGHT-YEAR-OLD GIRLS, VERY MUCH LIKE WHAT JAMES
HAD SAID ABOUT COMMUNITY AND ULTIMATELY REALLY THE VILLAGE
AT A POINT OF HAVING SOME REVITALIZATION TO IT AND
IMPROVEMENTS BEING DONE TO PROVIDE AREAS AND PLACES TO GO
FOR OUR KIDS TO ENJOY AS WELL, BUT THEN ALSO FOR PARENTS AND
OTHER FRIENDS OF OURS TO HANG OUT AND DO THE THINGS THAT WE
DO AS FAMILIES AND HANG OUT WITH OUR KIDS ULTIMATELY.
I GUESS ONE POINT OF NOISE AND THOSE BEING POTENTIALLY AN
ISSUE, EXISTS THERE NOW UNDER RENOVATION.
I THINK IT WAS THERE SEVEN YEARS OR SO AS A MEDITERRANEAN
RESTAURANT THAT WAS WHERE THE FOUNTAIN IS ON THE CORNER OF
BISCAYNE AND EAST DAVIS.
I BELIEVE IT WAS THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY NIGHTS THEY
WOULD HAVE EITHER A DEEJAY OR LIVE MUSIC.
THAT WOULD GO ON UNTIL 11 OR MIDNIGHT.
I COULD HEAR THAT FROM MY FRONT YARD.
NEVER WAS AN ISSUE.
JUST KIND OF AMBIENT NOISE, I GUESS, BUT THAT WAS EVEN

FURTHER INTO THE VILLAGE AND IT JUST WAS NEVER REALLY A
CONCERN AND THAT WAS ALWAYS ALLOWED TO OCCUR AND HAPPEN AT
THAT ESTABLISHMENT.
THAT WAS JUST KIND OF A SIDE NOTE I WAS REMEMBERING WHEN IT
WAS A BUSINESS.

06:30:06PM >> AND I WILL ALSO NOTE THAT A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT WE
HEARD THAT ARE OPPOSING THIS ARE NOT PEOPLE WITH YOUNG
CHILDREN.
THEY ARE NOT FAMILIES THAT FREQUENT THIS VILLAGE ALL THE
TIME.
FOR US THAT DO HAVE YOUNG KIDS, WE WANT A LITTLE ICE CREAM
SHOP WE CAN GO TO AND HAVE A GLASS OF WINE IS VERY
IMPORTANT FOR OUR COMMUNITY RIGHT NOW, AND WE ARE IN STRONG
SUPPORT AND REALLY HOPE YOU GUYS APPROVE IT.
06:30:27PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT.
NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
06:30:31PM >> HI, GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS PAT GREEN.
I LIVE THREE HOUSES DOWN FROM THE KIKI'S, AND I HAVE BEEN
LIVING IN THIS HOUSE SINCE 1959.
AND THE FACTS YOU SHOULD SEE, AND ONE FACT THAT YOU SHOULD
CONSIDER ARE THE POLICE CALLS, THE NONEMERGENCY CALLS OVER
THE YEARS SO YOU HAVE HISTORIC VIEW OF IT.
THE FOUNTAIN BAR, WHICH I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT, HAS
ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM.
10:00 DURING THE WEEK.
11:00 ON WEEKENDS.
ALWAYS A PROBLEM.
THE OTHER ONE RIGHT UP THE STREET, THE -- THE LITTLE PLACE
KNOWN AS THE LIQUOR BAR NEXT TO IT.
ALWAYS LOUD.
YOU WALK BY AND IT REAKS OF ALCOHOL.
DRUNK PEOPLE CONSTANTLY.
DRUNK PEOPLE DRIVING GO CARTS -- GOLF CARTS.
PEOPLE SAY WE WANT A PLACE TO GO AND HANG OUT WITH THE KIDS.
THEY ARE SERVING ALCOHOL AND LIQUOR ON THE SIDEWALK WHERE
THEY SHOULDN'T BE ALREADY IN THE VILLAGE, OKAY.
THE LITTLE SPRITZER BAR THEY HAVE ON CITY PROPERTY.
YOU GUYS KNOW WE ARE SELF-INSURED, RIGHT.
THEY ARE DRINKING THERE ALL TIME ON THIS CROOKED, JAGGED
AREA WITH TABLES.
NOW THIS KIKI'S -- I WORK THERE -- TO DO SOME WORK ON THEIR
BUILDING.
AND BY THE WAY, HE STILL HASN'T PAID -- HE IS REFUSING.
TOLD ME THE ELLISON CONTRACTOR, HE IS NOT PAYING THEM.
SO THAT IS AN ISSUE THAT GOES TO SOMETHING HERE -- IS NOT
RIGHT.
IT HAS BEEN MONTHS.
ALISON'S CONTRACTING.
THAT IS THEIR WORD YESTERDAY.
THEY ARE PROPOSING THIS BAR ESSENTIALLY AND A SPOT IN THE
CENTER, AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND FROM THE CONTRACTOR IS THEY
ARE MAKING A POP-UP PLACE ON A REGULAR BASIS, ALL DIFFERENT
BUSINESSES.
SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR IS AN ABILITY
TO SELL ALCOHOL AND FOR SPECIAL EVENTS.
SO WHAT ARE THE SPECIAL EVENTS?
WHAT ARE THEY SELLING?
ARE THEY SELLING -- ARE THEY GOING TO BE SELLING LIQUOR?
WILL THIS MORPH INTO A LIQUOR THING?
AND THEN THE NOISE IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE.
AND IF YOU GO LOOK AT THE -- WHERE THE BAR IS, THAT IS A
WEDGE-SHAPED BUILDING.
THE NOISE TRAVELS THAT WAY.
SO THIS IS AN ISSUE.
THIS IS RESIDENTIAL AREA, LITERALLY.
I KNOW IT WAS DESIGNED 100 YEARS AGO.
BUT LITERALLY IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA ACROSS THE STREET.
SO, YOU KNOW, WHAT ABOUT OUR PEACE?
I HOPE YOU -- YOU DON'T ALLOW THIS.
THANK YOU.
06:33:09PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
06:33:12PM >> HI, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
D.J. HAMILTON, A 15-YEAR DAVIS ISLAND RESIDENT AND A BUSINESS
OWNER IN THE VILLAGE AS WELL.
WE OWN THE MED SPA SHOP, MY WIFE AND I.
I AM PRESIDENT OF THE DAVIS ISLAND VILLAGE ASSOCIATION.
WE ARE GOING TO DO SOME GREAT THINGS TO BEAUTIFY THIS
VILLAGE, AND HOPEFULLY, IT WILL START WITH KIKI'S.
I THINK IT IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ME AS A FAMILY MAN AND
MY DAUGHTERS AND WIFE.
I HAVE A 12-YEAR-OLD AND A 10-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER TO GO AND
VISIT AN ICE CREAM STORE.
WHILE I AM NOT A DRINKER, MY WIFE LIKE TO HAVE A GLASS OF
CHARDONNAY, AND SHE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT WHEN WE HANG OUT
AND OUR KIDS ENJOYING THEIR ICE CREAM.
THIS IS NOT A BAR BECAUSE IF I WANT TO RIP TEQUILA SHOTS, 20
YARDS AND DO IT THERE.
THIS IS A FAMILY ESTABLISHMENT, AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU
APPROVE IT.
06:34:08PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
GO BOLTS.
NEXT SPEAKER.
06:34:12PM >> I AM CHRIS HENLEY AND LIKE MR. HAMILTON, I AM A PROUD DAD
OF TWO DAUGHTERS.
I GREW UP IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY BEFORE I FOUND DAVIS
ISLANDS.
IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, I WOULD HAVE ICE CREAM WHILE MY PARENTS
ENJOYED A BEER AND A GLASS OF WINE.
I HEARD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT ITSELF THAT THIS WILL BE
HERE IN DAVIS ISLAND, AND I WAS THRILLED, AND NOW I AM HEARING
OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE PROTESTING THIS THING BECAUSE THEY ARE
WORRIED ABOUT ALCOHOL SALES.
I WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE, IT IS BEER AND WINE IS WHAT I
UNDERSTAND THE WAIVER TO BE.
IT IS NOT FOR LIQUOR DRINKS AS MR. HAMILTON JUST TALKED ABOUT,
AND THERE ARE OTHER BARS RIGHT THERE IN THE VICINITY, REALLY
CLOSE.
NOT EVEN A PARKING LOT RIGHT THERE WHERE THERE IS LIVE
MUSIC.
SO WHEN PEOPLE ARE PROTESTING THE NOISE THAT IS GOING ON, IT
IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN THERE WELL BEFORE THEY EVEN MOVED
TO THE ISLAND.
IF IT IS AN ISSUE FOR THEM NOW, IT IS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE
FOR THEM TOMORROW.
BUT HAVING THIS WAIVER DOES NOT CHANGE ANYTHING THAT IS
BEING PRESENTED IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
06:35:16PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU, SIR.
NEXT SPEAKER.
06:35:18PM >> HELLO, GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS MEGAN MOORE, AND I'M A
HOMEOWNER ON THE ISLAND OF DAVIS ISLANDS SINCE 1997, AND MY
HUSBAND AND I HAVE ENJOYED RAISING OUR CHILD HERE.
SHE IS 17 YEARS OLD, AND WE HAVE MISSED THIS WONDERFUL
OPPORTUNITY FOR HER TO BE ON PLAYGROUND.
I WISH WE HAD IT WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE
THESE WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITIES, AND I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT THEY
ARE NOW PROVIDING THIS ON OUR ISLAND.
I THINK IT WILL ELEVATE OUR FAMILY ENJOYMENT.
AND I THINK THEY ARE ALL ABOUT MAKING THIS A BETTER ISLAND
FOR US.
I AM SUPER GRATEFUL AND EXCITED TO ENJOY IT.
SO THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
06:35:56PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
APPRECIATE IT.
NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
06:36:00PM >> HELLO, MY NAME IS DANIELLE SHOEMAKER, A 17-YEAR RESIDENT
ON DAVIS ISLAND, AND I WAS ONE OF THOSE ONES AFFECTED BY THE
HURRICANE.
TO ME, I STRONGLY APPROVE THIS.
ANY IMPROVEMENT ON DAVIS ISLAND WOULD BE GOOD IMPROVEMENT.
AS PREVIOUS SPEAKERS SAID, ANCHOR BAR, MOLLY MALONE'S, EVERYTHING
ELSE IS 20 YARDS AWAY, AND THEY ARE ONLY OFFERING BEER AND WINE
UNTIL 9:00 OR 10:00 DEPENDING ON WHAT NIGHT IT IS.
AS A LONG-TIME RESIDENT AND INTERIOR DESIGNER ON DAVIS
ISLAND WHO HAS PROBABLY 59% OF MY BUSINESS AND WORK OUT OF THE 06:36:42PM HOUSE, AND I THINK THIS IS FANTASTIC FOR DAVIS ISLANDS IMPROVEMENTS.
THANK YOU AND I DO HOPE YOU APPROVE IT.
06:36:48PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
06:36:50PM >> GOOD EVENING.
MY NAME IS J.J. McCORMICK, A FIVE-YEAR RESIDENT OF DAVIS
ISLAND.
A LOT OF THINGS HAVE BEEN SAID HERE, AND I WANTED TO POINT
OUT A COUPLE OF THINGS.
I DON'T HAVE ANY KIDS.
I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS THAT DO HAVE KIDS AND NICE TO HAVE
A PLACE TO BRING THEM AND MINGLE AND SOCIALIZE.
SOMETHING TO POINT OUT IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE MAP.
PREVIOUSLY, THE LAST FIVE YEARS, I LIVED THREE QUARTERS OF A
MILE AWAY FROM THAT DOWNTOWN AREA.
I MOVED TO DANUBE AVENUE -- MUCH, MUCH CLOSER -- TO BRING ME
CLOSER TO THAT AREA.
APARTMENTS, THE PLACE, AND ALL THIS RIGHT HERE SFRs,
SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES BUT THOSE APARTMENTS.
I AM A RENTER ON THE ISLAND.
I HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME.
I PLAN TO STAY THERE.
THAT AREA HAS A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE ME.
30 TO 40 YEAR OLDS.
I RUN A SMALL CONSTRUCTION COMPANY.
I LIKE GOING TO EVERY OTHER ONE OF THESE ESTABLISHMENTS
WORKING AND MEETING MY FRIENDS OUT FOR A SOCIAL EVENING, YOU
KNOW.
I HAVE FRIENDS -- LIKE MY HEAD PROJECT MANAGER.
HE HAS TWO KIDS.
I MEET HIM ON THE ISLAND ALL THE TIME.
THIS WILL BE A PERFECT PLACE TO MEET THEM.
GET WORK DONE.
HANG OUT WITH MY NEPHEWS, AND I THINK THERE IS A
MISCONCEPTION.
THE QUOTE, UNQUOTE, NOISE COMING FROM THESE PLACES, THIS IS
PEOPLE LIKE ME THAT LIVE HERE AND WANT TO WALK TO THESE
AREAS.
SO THAT'S A PERFECT EXAMPLE.
I MOVED CLOSER TO THAT AREA TO EXPERIENCE THESE A LITTLE BIT
MORE.
SO I AM IN FULL SUPPORT OF THIS.
SO THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO SHARE TONIGHT.
06:38:23PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT AND I GUESS LAST SPEAKER.
OH, WE HAVE ONE MORE.
06:38:29PM >> GOOD EVENING, ALEX DSNYOD.
I AM A RESIDENT OF DAVIS ISLAND WITH THREE CHILDREN.
I ALSO HAVE THE PRIVILEGE AND RESPONSIBILITY TO BE THE
PRESIDENT OF BAYSHORE LITTLE LEAGUE WHERE WE SERVICE 450 TO
500 KIDS -- HOPEFULLY 550 KIDS THIS SPRING AFTER A
SUCCESSFUL REGISTRATION.
ALL THE FAMILIES, ALL THE KIDS AFTER THE GAME ON MONDAY
NIGHTS, WEDNESDAY NIGHTS, THURSDAY NIGHTS, FRIDAY NIGHTS,
THEY ALL GO TO THE VILLAGE AND RESPECTFULLY -- I RESPECT THE
VIEWS OF THE RESIDENTS CONCERNED OF THE NOISE AND ALCOHOL,
BUT THERE ARE ALREADY SO MANY ESTABLISHMENTS AND LIQUOR
LICENSES THAT ARE ALREADY SELLING THERE TILL 3 A.M.
SO HAVING ANOTHER PLACE WHERE THESE KIDS AND THESE FAMILY
CAN GO ENJOY THEMSELVES WITH A SIMPLE BEER AND WINE LICENSE,
I AM PERSONALLY NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE SO MANY
OTHER PLACES THAT INDIVIDUALS CAN STAY UP UNTIL 3:00 IN THE
MORNING ON THE ISLAND.
AND THEY ARE BOTH ON THE WET BLOCKS THAT ARE ALREADY
APPROVED.
IF THIS SITE WAS SOMEWHERE ELSE, I WOULD BE CONCERNED.
BUT ALREADY ON A BLOCK WITH MULTIPLE BARS ON IT.
WITH REGARDS TO A NEIGHBORHOOD, HYDE PARK IS MODERNIZED, IT
IS BEAUTIFIED.
DAVIS ISLAND, THE VILLAGE IS OLD.
IT NEED TO BE UPDATED.
WHY CAN'T DAVIS ISLAND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY THAT HYDE PARK
HAS FOR THEIR RESIDENTS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I HOPE YOU APPROVE IT.
06:39:56PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ONE ONLINE SPEAKER, CHRISTIAN FADEL.
06:40:01PM >> FADEL, THANK YOU VERY OF MUCH.
BEFORE I GET TO MY PREPARED REMARKS --
06:40:07PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
STATE YOUR NAME -- HOLD ON ONE SECOND.
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
YOU NEED TO STOP TALKING FOR ONE SECOND --
06:40:15PM >> FOR 20 YEARS AND --
06:40:17PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
HOLD ON ONE SECOND, PLEASE.
06:40:20PM >> CAN YOU HEAR US?
06:40:24PM >> IT WAS A COFFEE SHOP WHERE ANCHOR BAR WAS, AND THEY --
AND THERE USED TO BE A -- NOT ONLY A COFFEE SHOP HERE, BUT
DOWN THE STREET A BREAKFAST PLACE.
THEY ARE BOTH GONE AND NOW THEY HAVE BECOME -- FIRST THEY
STARTED WITH BEER AND WINE --
06:40:44PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
CHRISTIAN,OF YOU HEAR ME, GIVE ME A
THUMBS UP, PLEASE?
CHRISTIAN, IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, GIVE ME A THUMBS UP.
THIS IS JUST AN INTERESTING EXERCISE.
THIS IS GOING TO REPLAY -- CAN HE SEE US?
SOMEBODY REPLAY THIS ONE BACK.
06:41:06PM >> I AM A --
06:41:10PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
BEST TV IN TAMPA.
06:41:11PM >> WILL BE ESTABLISHED AND OWNER OF A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY
39 FEET SOUTH OF IT.
SO I DO HAVE A VESTED INTEREST IN THIS.
FIRST, THE APPLICANT IS ASKING TO REDUCE THE --
06:41:23PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
NO, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT --
06:41:26PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WE AREN'T --
06:41:28PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE CAN'T USE HIS EVIDENCE.
WELL, WE CAN KARAOKE --
06:41:36PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
HE CAN'T HEAR US.
06:41:49PM >> LARGE OUTDOOR SPACE LIKE THAT 39 FEET FROM A HOME WILL
NOT INCLUDE SPEAKERS AND --
06:41:55PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
MUTED.
06:41:57PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
CHRISTIAN, STOP.
I FEEL TERRIBLE FOR HIM.
06:42:09PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
IF HE CAN'T HEAR YOU.
06:42:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN.
WHO CAN READ LIPS NOW.
06:42:21PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
IS THE ONLY SPEAKER TONIGHT ONLINE?
06:42:36PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SEE WHAT YOU GOT TO LOOK FORWARD TO, NAYA.
CHRISTIAN, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
06:42:57PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
HE'S NOT LOOKING.
06:42:59PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE HAVE GIVEN IT EVERY OPPORTUNITY, BUT I
THINK WE -- WE ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD -- CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
NO?
WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON.
CCTV, CAN YOU KILL THAT FEED, PLEASE.
AND LET'S GO BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING.
OKAY.
YOU GOT TO KILL IT.
PUT THE LITTLE X.
THANK YOU.
THAT WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
APPLICANT, WOULD YOU PLEASE PROVIDE REBUTTAL AND PROVIDE
CLARIFICATION OF THE SITE PLAN AND THE RESTRICTIONS.
06:43:42PM >> ALEX SCHALER, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
HARD TO FOLLOW THAT.
BUT I WILL FIRST PROVIDE CLARIFICATION OF SOME OF THE
COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE SPECIFICALLY WITH REGARD TO KIND OF
REGULATING AUTHORITY OF THE PLAN.
WE HAVE COMMITTED TO LIMITED AB SALES HOURS AS MENTIONED, 9
P.M. DURING WEEKDAYS.
10 P.M. EXTENDED THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
THOSE ARE BINDING.
SO THOSE ARE LISTED ON THE SITE PLAN.
THOSE ARE SOMETHING IF THIS PROPERTY WERE TO CHANGE
OWNERSHIP, THE NEW OWNER WILL COMPLY WITH THAT, AND THAT IS
ENFORCEABLE BY THE CITY.
YOU WOULD GET A CODE VIOLATION IF DOING THAT LATER.
WE ARE COMMITTING -- THE SITE PLAN NOTES NO AMPLIFIED
SOUND.
ONLY SOUND YOU WILL HEAR IS PEOPLE CHATTERING AND CHILDREN
LAUGHING, WHICH WE DON'T THINK TYPICALLY A HUGE PROBLEM.
NO DEEJAYS OUTSIDE.
NO LOUD BLASTING MUSIC OUTSIDE.
AGAIN, WE ARE DOING THIS INTENTIONALLY TO BE VERY SENSITIVE
BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND THAT DAVIS ISLAND HAS A RESIDENTIAL
COMMUNITY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET FROM THIS
ESTABLISHMENT.
I THINK THAT ADDRESSES ALL OF THE CONCERNS THAT WERE RAISED.
OH, ONE MORE THING.
THERE WAS SOME COMMENTS THIS BECOMING A BAR.
WE HAVE A SITE PLAN NOTE ON THERE WHICH WE HAVE PUT ON
OTHER AB ACTIONS IN THE PAST THAT WE HAVE DESIGNED TO REALLY
RESTRICT THE USES THAT THIS COULD BE.
THERE IS A NOTE ON THE SITE PLAN THAT LIMITS THIS OPERATING
WITH A LICENSE ONLY A 2-COP OR SRX.
YOU CAN NOT PULL A 4-COP LICENSE, AND YOU CAN NOT SELL LIQUOR
VIA THE CITY'S WET ZONING AND CAN'T PURSUE A STATE LICENSE
TO SELL LIQUOR HERE, BEER OR WINE ONLY OR A RESTAURANT.
WHAT WE COMMITTED TO ON THE SITE PLAN.
AGAIN, THAT NOTE IS ALSO BINDING.
KIND OF PIVOTING TO THOUGHTS I WANTED TO PROVIDE.
THERE IS A LOT -- A BLANKET FEAR OF ALCOHOL, WHILE I THINK
THAT, YOU KNOW, YOUR JOB AS COUNCIL IS TO PROTECT THE
NEIGHBORHOOD, AND SHOULD BE A DELINEATION BETWEEN PROTECTON
AND PROHIBITION.
IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO HAVE A BEER, SOMEBODY WANTS TO DRINK A
GLASS OF WINE, THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN SOMEBODY GO TO SOHO
SALOON AT 3 A.M.
THAT CANNOT AND WILL NOT HAPPEN HERE.
WE HAVE BINDING REGULATIONS IN PLACE TO ENSURE THAT.
AS YOU SAW HERE, THE PEOPLE THAT WERE NICE ENOUGH TO COME
UP AND SPEAK ON THE APPLICATION, THERE IS A VERY CLEAR DIVIDE
HERE.
THERE IS A CLEAR DIVIDE BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO WANT THE ISLAND TO
STAY EXACTLY WHAT IT IS TODAY, VACANT BUILDINGS THAT WILL NOT
BE ADAPTIVELY REUSED AND BE A USE OF SPACE. AND PEOPLE WITH
FAMILIES AND CHILDREN AND WANT PLACES LIKE THIS TO GO.
AND WE FEEL THAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, MET OUR DUE BURDEN HERE
IN MAKING SURE THAT THE ALCOHOL SALES PETITION THAT YOU
ALL WILL BE APPROVING IS SENSITIVE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
AGAIN, I THINK THERE IS CONCERNS ABOUT THIS BECOMING
SOMETHING THAT IT CAN'T BE.
IT WILL NOT BECOME SOMETHING THAT, AGAIN, WE HAVE THESE
GOVERNING NOTES ON THE SITE PLAN.
I THINK THE MAIN QUESTION BEFORE YOU ALL THIS EVENING IS,
SHOULD SOMEBODY BE ABLE TO HAVE A GLASS OF WINE OR A BEER
HERE AT 8:00 ON A THURSDAY.
THAT IS A QUESTION.
GRAB AND GO OUT OF A FRIDGE.
I UNDERSTAND CONCERNS OF PROXIMITY TO RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT, AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TAKEN THESE ADDED
MEASURES FROM THE CODE ASSUMING THAT PEOPLE ARE SELLING
ALCOHOL UNTIL 3 A.M. AND BLASTING MUSIC OUTSIDE WITH A
DEEJAY.
THAT IS NOT HAPPENING HERE, CAN'T HAPPEN HERE AND WON'T
HAPPEN HERE.
THE PROPOSAL WE HAVE BEFORE YOU IS VERY SENSITIVE.
WE HAVE TAKEN EVERY CONSIDERATION INTO ACCOUNT HERE, AND WE
FEEL THAT THE VALUE PROVIDED FOR THIS ADAPTIVE REUSE IS
MUCH, MUCH MORE BENEFICIAL AND FAR OUTWEIGHS ANY KIND OF
CONCERNS FOR A FUTURE THAT WE CAN'T PREDICT.
WE REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL.
06:47:35PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
MOTION TO CLOSE.
06:47:37PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SO MOVED.
06:47:39PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SECOND.
06:47:41PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
OPPOSED.
ANY DISCUSSION?
I WILL START.
HONESTLY FOR THOSE OF YOU OPPOSED, THIS IS A VERY, VERY
MODEST REQUEST.
GOT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST MODEST REQUESTS I HAVE EVER SEEN
FOR ANYWHERE.
AND, YOU KNOW, HONESTLY -- I SEE THIS A LOT FROM SOME
NEIGHBORHOOD OPPOSITIONS.
PART OF WHAT MAKES -- I LIVE IN HYDE PARK.
WHAT MAKES THESE AREAS CHARMING IS THE INHERENT MIXED USE OF
THE AREA.
THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE ALL MOVE THERE.
SO I CAN WALK TO A RESTAURANT AND WALK AND SOME PEOPLE LIVE
IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS, THE SAME KIND OF THING.
THESE MIXED AREAS IS WHAT MAKES TAMPA, TAMPA.
PART OF OUR CHARM.
ECLECTIC NATURE OF DAVIS ISLANDS IS ALWAYS FASCINATING TO
ME.
THE OLD TATE'S PIZZERIA.
AND A MEXICAN RESTAURANT AND A THAI RESTAURANT AND A COFFEE
BAR AND COOL LITTLE KITSCHY KIND OF STORES AND WHAT MAKES
TAMPA, TAMPA.
IT IS A REALLY INTERESTING CONCEPT.
I HAVE A FIVE-YEAR-OLD GRANDDAUGHTER, AND OCCASIONALLY, I
MIGHT WANT TO TRY A BEER.
SOUND KIND OF INTERESTING.
I THINK THIS IS TAMPA'S TAMPA.
THOSE WHO LIVE IN THESE MIXED USE AREAS, THIS IS PART OF WHY
-- WHY OUR PROPERTY VALUES ARE DOING SO WELL AND PART OF THE
REASON WHY PEOPLE CLAMOR TO MOVE INTO THESE NEIGHBORHOODS.
TO HAVE PLACES, GATED COMMUNITIES WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE TO
EXPERIENCE THAT.
IT CRACKS ME UP.
PEOPLE MOVE INTO DOWNTOWN AND COMPLAIN OF THE NOISE OF
DOWNTOWN.
YOU ARE MOVING TO IT BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE IT IS HAPPENING AND
WHERE IT IS AT.
THAT IS MY POINT.
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK -- ANYBODY ELSE?
OR JUST YOU.
06:49:30PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE
DISCUSSION FIRST, BUT THE HEARING NEEDS TO BE REOPENED
BECAUSE THE DISCUSSION OF A REVISION SHEET.
06:49:39PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SO MOVED.
06:49:40PM >>LUIS VIERA:
SECOND.
06:49:43PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
A MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK AND A
SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA TO REOPEN THE HEARING.
06:49:48PM >>LaCHONE DOCK:
THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
LaCHONE DOCK, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
I WANT TO PUT ON THE RECORD THAT STAFF REPORT REVISIONS
BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
SUPPLEMENTAL REVISION SHEETS WHICH INCLUDE THE HOURS THAT
ARE MENTIONED BY THE APPLICANT AND WILL BE REVISED AND
UPDATED ON THE SITE PLAN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
IF YOU CAN INCLUDE THAT IN THE MOTION, PLEASE AND I WILL
SUBMIT IT FOR THE RECORD.
06:50:10PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
CAN WE HAVE ANOTHER MOTION TO CLOSE, PLEASE.
06:50:13PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SO MOVED.
06:50:15PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
SECOND.
06:50:16PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ALL IN FAVOR.
OPPOSED.
AYES HAVE IT.
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
06:50:21PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I UNDERSTAND THE FOLKS WHO WERE CONCERNED
ABOUT THIS THINKING THAT, YES, DEFINITELY IF IT WERE TO
CHANGE HANDS, I WOULD FEEL THE SAME WAY, BUT THAT IS THE
BEAUTY OF A SITE PLAN REQUIREMENT IS THAT WE CAN ABSOLUTELY
-- IF THEY SELL ALCOHOL AFTER 9:00 ON A WEEKDAY OR AFTER
10:00 ON A WEEKEND, CODE CAN GET INVOLVED.
IF THIS WERE TO END AND THE ICE CREAM SHOP WAS TO CLOSE AND
A RESTAURANT WAS TO OPEN, THEY WOULD HAVE TO FOLLOW THE
EXACT SAME RULES.
THEY AREN'T ALLOWED TO CHANGE IT IF THEY WANT TO.
IF THEY WANT TO CHANGE THE RULES, THEY TO COME BACK HERE.
THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT
THESE RULES ON-SITE PLANS.
THE SAME THING ABOUT LIQUOR.
A LIQUOR LICENSE IS VERY EXPENSIVE.
YOU CAN'T JUST SELL LIQUOR BECAUSE YOU WANT TO SELL LIQUOR.
IF YOU SELL LIQUOR IN AN ESTABLISHMENT WHERE YOU ONLY ALLOW
TO SELL BEER AND WINE, THE CITY WILL COME FOR YOU.
NOT JUST THE CITY BUT I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THE STATE WILL
COME FOR YOU TOO.
THESE ARE THE WAYS THAT WE CAN PROVIDE, YOU KNOW, GUARDRAILS TO
TO PLACES LIKE THIS.
06:51:32PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
ANYONE ELSE?
COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
06:51:35PM >>BILL CARLSON:
YEAH, FIRST OF ALL, I THINK IT IS VERY
UNFAIR TO SAY THAT BECAUSE SOMEBODY IS AGAINST THIS, THEY
ARE -- THEY ARE AGAINST DEVELOPMENT ON DAVIS ISLANDS OR
AGAINST REDEVELOPMENT OF THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
06:51:48PM >> THANK YOU.
06:51:51PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENTS
THAT COULD GO FORWARD IN DAVIS ISLANDS, AND IF YOU -- I WAS
LIVING ALONG HOWARD AVENUE IN THE '90s.
AND I REMEMBER JOHN AGREE COMING THROUGH AND BUILDING
RESTAURANTS THERE AND EVERYBODY WAS EXCITED IT WAS GOING TO
BE A RESTAURANT DISTRICT AND SOMEBODY CAME ALONG WITH
CHANGING IT TO QUOTE, UNQUOTE, SOHO AND TURNING IT INTO THE
BAR DISTRICT.
NEIGHBORS DIDN'T AGREE.
SOME MOVED IN AFTERWARDS AND DIDN'T AGREE TO IT BEING A BAR
DISTRICT AND NO DESIGNATION AS AN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT.
SAME THING IN YBOR CITY.
SUDDENLY WHAT HAPPENS IS THESE COME IN ONE-OFF.
AND WE SAY THIS IS JUST ONE WAIVER.
AND THE NEXT ONE IS JUST ONE QUAVER.
AND IT IS ON THE SITE PLAN, BUT THEN WHAT HAPPENS A COUPLE
OF YEARS FROM NOW THEY SAY YOU ALREADY DID THIS AND WHY
CAN'T WE DO THAT.
IF WE GO BACK IN TIME, AREAS LIKE HOWARD AVENUE WILL WISH WE
DIDN'T MAKE THOSE WAIVERS AND MANY RESIDENTS IN YBOR CITY
WOULD NOT DO IT.
THIS IS NOT AN EASY ONE BECAUSE WE GOT A LOT OF E-MAILS FOR
IT, AND A LOT OF E-MAILS AGAINST IT.
WE GOT PEOPLE FOR AND AGAINST IT.
THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY, BUT I AM GOING TO
VOTE AGAINST IT.
06:53:08PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
OKAY, VERY GOOD.
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ THIS ONE?
06:53:14PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I WILL.
AND, YOU KNOW, COUNCILMAN CARLSON, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
I DO AGREE THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT COME IN FRONT
OF US THAT AREN'T AGAINST DEVELOPMENT BUT STILL WANT
REGULATION, AND I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND BECAUSE I LIVE ONE
BLOCK OFF OF FLORIDA AVENUE, AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I
HAVE.
I LIVE BEHIND THE FRONT PORCH AND SIT ON MY FRONT PORCH AND
HEAR FRONT PORCH.
BUT ON THE SITE PLAN THEY HAVE TO STOP AMPLIFIED MUSIC ON 10
P.M. ON WEEKDAYS AND 11 P.M. ON THE WEEKENDS WHICH THEY DO
WHICH IS WONDERFUL.

SO I AM GOING TO RECUSE MYSELF FROM ITEM

AND I ABSTAIN FROM VOTING IN A QUASI-JUDICIAL TO AVOID A

MR. SHELBY, DO I SIGN THE BOTTOM OF THE SHEET?
06:55:40PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE FORM.
A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
OPPOSED.
AYES HAVE IT.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, STILL -- GOODBYE, FAREWELL.
YOU ARE FUNNY.
YES, MA'AM, LAST ITEM OF THE EVENING.
06:56:04PM >>LaCHONE DOCK:
THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIRMAN AND COUNCIL,
LaCHONE DOCK, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
ITEM 7 IS AB2-25-21 THE PROPERTY AT 218 AND 220 EAST DAVIS
BOULEVARD.
THE REQUEST FOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES, RESTAURANT
CLASSIFICATION FOR THE SALE OF BEER, WINE AND LIQUOR FOR
CONSUMPTION ON-PREMISE ONLY.
THIS IS THE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED IN THE RECORD.
SO THIS IS DAVIS BOULEVARD.
AND THIS IS ITS STRUCTURE THAT IS LOCATED HERE.
THE AREA IDENTIFIED IN RED WILL BE INDOOR AB SALES AREA
PROPOSED THAT CONTAINS 5028 SQUARE FEET.
AREA IN BLUE IS THE OUTDOOR AB SALES THAT CONTAINS 3307
SQUARE FEET.
YOU CAN SEE THE SURFACE PARKING THAT IS LOCATED ON STREET
THERE, ON THE SITE.
THIS IS THE AERIAL MAP.
THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE, WHICH IS LOCATED IN RED.
THIS IS DAVIS BOULEVARD.
AND YOU CAN SEE THE COMMERCIAL USES.
THIS IS JUST UP ONE BLOCK FROM THE SITE THAT YOU JUST SAW.
SO THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW.
SO IT WOULD CONTAIN -- THIS IS ONE PARCEL, AND THIS IS THE
OTHER.
IT WOULD BE A COMBINATION OF THE TWO SUITES THERE.
AND THEN THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW OF THE SITE.
SOME THAT AREA WOULD BE THE OUTDOOR AREA THAT YOU SEE THERE
IN FRONT OF THE LOCATION.
THIS IS A VIEW LOOKING NORTH ON DAVIS BOULEVARD.
THIS IS JUST ANOTHER VIEW THAT IS -- AT A DISTANCE.
THIS IS EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
THIS IS ACROSS THE STREET.
ANOTHER VIEW.
EAST.
THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH IF YOU SWING AROUND ON DAVIS.
AND THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW JUST CIRCLING BACK TO THE SUBJECT
SITE.
SO THAT, AGAIN, IS THE INDOOR AREA THAT IS THERE.
THIS IS AN OUTDOOR AREA THAT IS COVERED AND THIS IS THE
OUTDOOR AREA THAT IS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN.
THE DRC STAFF REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FINDS THE REQUEST
INCONSISTENT.
IT IS DUE TO THE WAIVERS THAT ARE REQUESTED.
THERE ARE THREE WAIVERS REQUESTED.
TWO DISTANCE SEPARATION WAIVERS.
AND THEN ONE WAIVER THAT IS REQUESTED FOR THE PARKING.
THERE ARE SITE PLAN MODIFICATIONS TO BE MADE BETWEEN FIRST
AND SECOND READING, AND THERE IS ALSO A SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET.
I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
06:58:52PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
06:58:54PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YOU ARE SAYING THAT THE PARKING THAT IS THERE
NOW WILL NOT BE THERE ANYMORE?
06:58:59PM >>LaCHONE DOCK:
CORRECT, THE PARKING LOCATED HERE IN THE
FRONT.
THE WAIVER IS REFLECTED ON THAT.
YOU WILL SEE THE PARKING WAIVER THAT IS REQUESTED TO REDUCE.
06:59:08PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I WANTED TO DOUBLE CHECK.
06:59:10PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
06:59:12PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THESE WILL BE COMBINED THAT ONE OR TWO
SEPARATE?
CAN THEY BE TWO ESTABLISHMENTS?
06:59:18PM >>LaCHONE DOCK:
I BELIEVE SO AND THE APPLICANT WILL CLARIFY
THIS WILL BE ONE.
06:59:22PM >>BILL CARLSON:
IN THE FUTURE, CAN IT BE OPENED FOR TWO
ESTABLISHMENTS OR ALL PART OF ONE?
06:59:27PM >>LaCHONE DOCK:
IN THE FUTURE, IF SOMEONE WERE TO ACTUALLY
SPLIT THIS IN HALF AND HAVE TWO ESTABLISHMENTS, IT WOULD
JUST HAVE TO HAVE THE SAME USE THAT IS LISTED, WHICH IS THE
RESTAURANT.
06:59:38PM >>BILL CARLSON:
OKAY, THANK YOU.
06:59:40PM >>LaCHONE DOCK:
THE SALES AREA COULD NOT EXCEED THE SQUARE
FOOTAGES APPROVED THROUGH THIS IF IT IS APPROVED THIS
EVENING.
06:59:47PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
APPLICANT?
06:59:53PM >>LaCHONE DOCK:
THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
06:59:54PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
06:59:57PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
TYLER HUDSON, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
OKAY, I THINK WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD PICTURE SLIDE SHOW.
THIS IS THE RESTAURANT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.
I THINK EVERY PERSON HERE IS FAMILIAR WITH EXACTLY WHERE IT
IS LOCATED.
LET'S GO BACK TO 1998.
WE HAVE THE TAMPA TRIBUNE.
WE ARE A TWO NEWSPAPER TOWN AND GIVE A PRETTY FAVORABLE
REVIEW OF THE RESTAURANT WHEN IT OPENED, ESPECIALLY WITH ONE
OF THE COBB SALADS.
BACK IN 1998, THERE WERE SMOKING SECTIONS TOO WHICH THE REVIEW
NOTES FAVORABLY.
THIS WAS OPERATED AS A RESTAURANT SINCE 1998.
THE APPLICANT, WHO WAS ALSO THE APPLICANT ON APPLICATION
THAT YOU JUST APPROVED, WAS THE TENANT AND OPERATOR, NOT THE
PROPERTY OWNER.
A LUNCH-DINNER SPOT.
WEEKEND BRUNCH.
VERY POPULAR WITH FAMILIES.
I HAVE A DAUGHTER THAT PLAYS BAYSHORE LITTLE LEAGUE AND
MAGNOLIA, AND MY WIFE IS A COACH.
VERY FULL AFTER GAMES, AFTER PRACTICES AND WHATNOT.
THE PARKING AREA IS POPULAR WITH CHILDREN
AND I WILL TALK ABOUT THAT FOR A SECOND.
LIKE MOST PLACES ON DAVIS ISLAND, IT DID FLOOD AND DURING
HELENE, IT WAS ESSENTIALLY TOTALLED.
A GAP IN THE WET ZONING UP IN NORTH.
YOU SEE AT THE BOTTOM THE EXISTING RESTAURANT THAT OPERATES
AS 220 AND ALBEIT A LITTLE LESS PEP IN ITS STEP THAN IT USED
TO AT ONE POINT.
IN THE MIDDLE ,THERE WAS A LAUNDROMAT AND A YOGURT SHOP, I
DON'T THINK AT THE SAME TIME, BUT AT ONE POINT.
THAT AREA IS NOT WET ZONED.
ON THE NORTH END, THERE WAS A PIZZA PLACE AT ONE POINT.
SO WE ARE DEALING WITH A GAP IN THE WET ZONING.
IT WAS OPERATED AS TWO SEPARATE RESTAURANTS.
THIS WILL BE OPERATED AS A SINGLE RESTAURANT.
IF THERE HAS BEEN A PARTICULAR COUNCIL CONCERN ABOUT THAT, I
WILL BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS THAT.
THIS IS THE GAP OVERLAID ON THE FLOOR PLAN.
AND THAT IS NOT HYPOTHETICAL, THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BUILDING
PERMITS FOR AND ARE READY TO SPEND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS CONSTRUCTING.
NOT JUST A NICE THING THAT AN ARCHITECT COOKED UP.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE SPACE LAYOUT WILL LOOK LIKE.
AND I WILL ZOOM IN A LITTLE BIT AND NOTE TWO THINGS.
FIRST IS THE OCCUPANCY.
THEY ARE SETTING THIS UP AS A 165 PLUS STANDING ROOM.
DOESN'T INCLUDE THE EXTERIOR PATIO, 20 OR SO CHAIRS OUT
THERE.
I CAN'T MAKE IT ANY MORE CLEAR ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
LET'S WALK THROUGH, WHAT IS THE NEW AREA BEING WET ZONED.
WHAT IS THAT GOING TO BE USED FOR.
FROM THE BOTTOM LEFT, BATHROOM FOYER.
WE GO UP FROM THERE, BATHROOMS, ABOVE THAT, BAR STORAGE.
TO THE RIGHT, WE ARE GOING CLOCKWISE, SORT OF A PRIVATE KIND
OF ROOM THAT CAN BE -- THAT CAN BE RENTED.
THEN WE GO DOWN, AND THE NEW WET ZONE DOES INCLUDE THIS
SEATED BAR ON THE NORTHERN SIDE OF THE RESTAURANT.
IF IT GOES DOWN AND THE ENTRY FOYER.
STANDARD PRACTICE AND THE CITY'S RECOMMENDATION YOU WANT TO
WET ZONE THE ENTIRE BUILDING BECAUSE THINGS CAN CHANGE
OVER TIME, BUT IT IS WORTH NOTING AND WHAT YOUR EYES TELL YOU
THAT NOT EVERY SINGLE PART OF THIS NEW WET ZONING AREA IS
GOING TO BE PACKED WITH PEOPLE.
A LOT OF THIS IS REALLY BACK-OF-HOUSE SPACE WHICH EVERY
RESTAURANT NEEDS -- SOME OF YOU HAVE WORKED IN RESTAURANTS
KNOW.
YOU CAN OPERATE TWO SEPARATE RESTAURANTS BUT IT'S INEFFICIENT AND
WOULDN'T WORK AS WELL.
THIS IS WHY THE RESTAURANTS ON THE SITE AND BUSINESSES HAVE
STRUGGLED.
PEOPLE WHO LIVE ON DAVIS ISLANDS CAN AGREE TO THAT.
WE CAN KEEP THE INCREDIBLY UNSAFE PARKING CONDITIONS AS IS.
THAT IS NOT EVEN A CURB CUT.
IT BLEEDS RIGHT INTO THE STREET.
ONE OF THE THING THAT LACHONE SHOWS, ANYTHING LOOK STRANGE
OF THE BLACK DENALI
IT IS PARKED ON THE SIDEWALK.
NO CURB TO SEPARATE THE STREET FROM THE SIDEWALK.
DI COFFEE BAR, OFFICIAL HEADQUARTERS OF DAVIS ISLANDS, WHERE
EVERYBODY BEHIND ME IS IT THERE FREQUENTLY.
PEOPLE WALK OUT, GO TO THE RIGHT.
AGAIN, NOT EVEN A CURB CUT.
AT-GRADE SIDEWALK INTO STREET SITUATION.
IT IS A HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE IDEA.
THE CITY CODE REQUIRES 63 PARKING SPACES.
IF WE BUILD THOSE FOR THE PARKING GARAGE, THERE WILL BE A LOT
MORE PEOPLE HERE.
ALL WE HAVE ARE EIGHT.
EIGHT SPACES ON-SITE, OFF-STREET SINCE THIS RESTAURANT HAS
BEEN OPENED AND OPERATING.
AS ALL OF YOU KNOW WHO KNOW DAVIS ISLAND, YOU CAN SEE ON THE
SCREEN, THE ENTIRE -- THAT'S RIGHT.
THANK YOU, ALEX.
EVERYONE KNOWS WHO HAS BEEN TO DAVIS ISLANDS, SOUTHWARD
TOWARD CHESAPEAKE WHERE THE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT ENDS, ALL
ANGLED 45 DEGREES.
VERY FEW CURB CUTS THAT LEAD TO A VERY SAFE, NICE FEELING OF
THE VILLAGE THAT EVERYONE LOVES.
THIS IS A GLARING AND MASSIVE EXCEPTION.
YOU CAN SEE THERE, THERE ARE TWO HUGE DRIVE AISLES GOING IN
AND OUT OF A PIECE OF CONCRETE THAT SERVE EIGHT PARKING
SPACES.
WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO DO IS TO INSTALL AT OUR -- AT THE
DEVELOPER'S EXPENSE, SEVEN ON-STREET PARKING SPACES IN THE
RIGHT-OF-WAY, ANGLED TO MATCH THE ORIENTATION OF THE PARKING
SPACES THAT EXIST IN FRONT OF THAI ISLAND AND DI COFFEE BAR
TO THE NORTH.
FURTHER SOUTH, THE OG AND THE OLD PHARMACY POST OFFICE TO
THE SOUTH.
TO MAKE DAVIS ISLAND VILLAGE MATCH WHAT IS ALREADY THERE.
WE THINK THIS IS A REALLY GOOD IDEA.
SO DOES THE CITY, BECAUSE FOUR YEARS AGO THE CITY REACHED
OUT TO THE LANDLORD AND SUGGESTED THIS EXACT SAME THING.
WHETHER IT IS VISION ZERO.
YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO BE DEEP IN THE LITERATURE AND
SCHOLARSHIP OF PEDESTRIAN SAFETY THAT THIS MAKES ABSOLUTELY
NO SENSE IN ITS CURRENT CONFIGURATION.
AN ABERRATION AND LOOKS WEIRD.
AND THE GUY IN THE BLACK DENALI WAS HAVING TO PARK ON THE
SIDEWALK, PRETTY BUSY SIDEWALKS WITH SOME OF THE BUSY
BUSY RESTAURANTS, DI COFFEE BAR, AND THAI ISLAND.
PEOPLE WALKING TO THEIR CAR HAVE TO WORRY -- PEOPLE DRIVE
LARGE CARS IN SOUTH TAMPA, RIGHT OFF THE STREET INTO THIS
EIGHT-SPACE PARKING LOT.
SO WE ARE TALKING OF SAFETY -- WITH ANY ALCOHOL APPLICATION
THAT I WORKED ON OR WITNESSED, WE HAVE TO THINK OF
SAFEGUARDS.
THIS IS A FAMILY RESTAURANT.
THIS IS WHAT WORKS HERE.
ALEX TOUCHED ON THIS A LITTLE BIT.
BEING A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER IS REALLY HARD.
BEST-CASE SCENARIO.
WORKING IN THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.
IT IS AN INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT PLACE TO MAKE A LIVING.
AND WHAT WILL WORK HERE AND WHAT NICKY IS PROPOSING TO DO IS
REALLY JUST SPRUCE UP WHAT ALREADY WORKS.
MAKE IT A FAMILY-FRIENDLY RESTAURANT.
SUPER HIGH-END FINE DINING WOULDN'T WORK HERE.
CHICK-FIL-A -- THEY PROBABLY WOULD DO WELL.
THAT IS A DIFFERENT STORY.
WE THINK WHAT WOULD WORK WITH A LUNCH, DINNER, WEEKEND
BRUNCH PLACE THAT WAS SUCCESSFUL THERE BUT GOT WIPED OUT BY
THE HURRICANE.
BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THIS RESTAURANT, WITH THIS ENTIRE STRIP
HERE IS THE UNSAFE PARKING LOT IN THE FRONT.
IN TERMS OF THE OTHER COMMITMENTS, WE ARE PROPOSING THE
STANDARD SRX.
THE SAME HOURS YOU GET ADMINISTRATIVELY FROM THE SITE WHICH
IS 11 P.M. AND THEN YOU CAN STAY OPEN -- THAT IS YOUR LIMIT.
NOT A MINIMUM.
NOT A REQUIREMENT, BUT YOU CAN STAY OPEN UNTIL 1 A.M. AFTER
THURSDAY, FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY.
WE ARE PROPOSING NO OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND THROUGHOUT THE
ENTIRE RESTAURANT.
COUNCILMAN CARLSON ASKED OF PRIOR RESTAURANTS.
RIHT NOW YOU CAN DO IT UNTIL 11.
WE ARE GOING TO ELIMINATE THAT ENTIRELY.
NO AMPLIFIED SOUND.
THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
ALCOHOL SERVICE IS TO INDOORS, AND THE PATIO, HOWEVER, WE
DEALT WITH THIS ON THE PRIOR ONE.
WE ARE PROPOSING TO WET ZONE THAT GREEN AREA.
THAT WILL BE THE PARKING LOT.
PARKING LOT WILL BE REPLACED WITH TURF, THINK CORNHOLE
SETS, THINGS LIKE THAT FOR KIDS TO PLAY.
A FENCE SO KIDS ARE NOT RUNNING INTO THE STREET.
WE HAVE A SITE PLAN NOTE THAT PROHIBITS SERVICE, TABLES, AND
CLEAR IN THAT OUT FRONT WAITING AREA, BUT, AGAIN, THAT IS
WHAT DRIVES -- CAN DRIVE THESE PARKING REQUIREMENTS WHEN WE
TALK ABOUT IT WILL BE FULL OF SERVICE.
IT IS NOT.
WE ARE PROVIDING A BINDING SITE PLAN AN OUTDOOR WAITING AREA.
IT WILL BE SAFE, IT WILL BE CONTROLLED, AND IT IS GOING TO
BE A MASSIVE IMPROVEMENT OVER WHAT IS THERE NOW.
AND IT IS GOING TO GIVE THIS RESTAURANT THE BEST CHANCE OF
SUCCESS.
THAT IS THE POWER YOU ALL HAVE.
WE THINK A LOT OF ZONING, LAND USE AND THINGS THAT CAN GET
ESOTERIC.
WHEN YOU DO SOMETHING YOU PRESERVE SOMETHING IS THE APPROVAL
OF THIS.
WE COULD HAVE GONE -- IF THIS WAS IN A DIFFERENT PLACE OR A
DIFFERENT SETTING, WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN AN ADMINISTRATIVE AB
1 APPROVAL LIKE RESTAURANTS DO.
IT IS THAT PARKING.
THAT DANGEROUS PARKING LOT THAT MAKES NO SENSE.
THERE ARE EIGHT SPACES.
WE ARE PROPOSING SEVEN, AND THE DEVELOPER WILL PAY FOR IT.
I THINK THAT IS A VERY GOOD DEAL THAT I RECOMMEND WE TAKE.
WITH THAT, NICKY WANTS TO SAY A FEW CLOSING WORDS BEFORE WE
TURN TO QUESTIONS AND PUBLIC COMMENT.
THANK YOU.
07:10:18PM >> HEY, GUYS, IT IS ME AGAIN.
SO I DON'T KNOW --
07:10:27PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
START WITH YOUR NAME.
07:10:28PM >> NIKKI PATEL, DAVIS ISLAND RESIDENT, AND AS YOU KNOW, THE
HURRICANE COMPLETELY WASHED OUT THE BUILDING.
FOUR FEET OF WATER INSIDE THIS WHOLE SPACE.
SINCE THEN, BUSINESS HASN'T BEEN THE SAME SINCE, YOU KNOW.
WE SHUT DOWN WITH OUR FAMILY AND DECIDED WHAT TO DO.
AND WE SUBMITTED PERMITS TO REBUILD THE SPACE AND BRING
EVERYBODY BACK TO THE RESTAURANT.
AND LIKE TYLER MENTIONED TO YOU, YOU KNOW, THE -- IT IS
NOT REALLY A RESTAURANT SPACE FOR KIDS TO, YOU KNOW, BE
KIDS WHILE THE PARENTS ARE EATING.
SO THAT IS WHY IT WAS SUBJECTED -- WHY WE SUGGESTED TO TURN
IT INTO A GREEN SPACE AND MOVE THE PARKING ON TO THE STREET
AT OUR OWN COST.
SO WE ARE JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT A MORE KID-FRIENDLY SPACE
AGAIN WHERE FAMILIES CAN ENJOY, YOU KNOW, DINNER AND
BREAKFAST AND LUNCH AND EVERYTHING.
07:11:25PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I HAVE -- I HAVE SOME CONCERN ABOUT WHAT
-- WHAT THE -- ARE YOU DONE?
07:11:34PM >> YES.
07:11:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SO I HAVE SOME CONCERN WHAT YOU HAVE GOT
PRESENTED HERE AS FAR AS JUST THIS BLANK ASTROTURF SPACE IN
FRONT.
I THINK I WILL BE AGREEABLE IF YOU SAID YOU WOULD PLANT
LARGER OAK TREES FOR SHADE WITH SOME KIND OF DESIGN THAT
BLENDS INTO THE STREETSCAPE IN DAVIS ISLAND.
AS A BARREN AREA, IT IS A PROBLEM -- PROBLEMATIC FOR THIS
PARTICULAR AREA.
I WOULD BE WILLING TO SUPPORT THIS IF YOU WILL WORK WITH OUR
NATURAL RESOURCES TO PLANT A FAIRLY -- MAYBE TWO DECENT
SIZED TREES TO PROVIDE THAT AESTHETIC AND SHADE, IF YOU HAVE
THE CONCEPT OF THE WAITING AREA AND SO MAYBE MR. HUDSON
WANTS TO CHIME IN THERE.
07:12:22PM >> NO, THAT IS UP TO YOU.
07:12:26PM >> I WOULD HAVE NO ISSUES WITH THAT.
07:12:28PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I THINK THAT IS CALLING OUT FOR THAT.
REALLY.
07:12:31PM >> I HAVE NO ISSUES WITH THAT.
07:12:33PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
OF A MORE INVITING AREA AND BE MORE
AESTHETIC TO THE ISLAND.
07:12:39PM >> I HAVE NO ISSUES WORKING WITH NATURAL RESOURCES TO PUT
TREES OUT THERE.
07:12:44PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILMAN CARLSON AND THEN COUNCILWOMAN
HURTAK.
07:12:47PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR ONE OF YOU.
WHY ARE ALL OTHER BUILDINGS TO THE ROAD AND WHY IS THAT ONE
DESIGNED THAT WAY?
07:12:56PM >> I AM NOT THE BUILDING OWNER.
I AM A TENANT.
07:12:58PM >>BILL CARLSON:
COULD YOU BUILD OUT TO THE ROAD?
SORRY, I DIDN'T SEE THE EXISTING SITE PLAN.
07:13:06PM >> WE ARE NOT BUILDING OUT TO IT --
07:13:08PM >>BILL CARLSON:
ARE YOU ALLOWED TO?
07:13:10PM >> NOT WITHOUT COMING BACK AS A PD AND ESTABLISH AN ENTIRELY
NEW SETBACK PRECEDENT FOR DAVIS ISLAND, WHICH I THINK WILL BE
UNPOPULAR.
WE ARE TRYING TO PRESERVE BUILDING WALLS TO REDUCE COSTS AS
BEST WE CAN.
07:13:26PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
07:13:27PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES, I HAVE A QUESTION.
SORT OF THE SAME QUESTION THAT WAS LINGERING IN MY HEAD FROM
THE LAST ONE.
SO YOU WANT THIS TO BE A WAITING AREA, BUT YOU DON'T WANT
ANY BENCHES OR TABLES OR CHAIRS?
07:13:42PM >> CORRECT.
SO BASICALLY IF YOU ARE COMING IN -- YOUR TABLE IS NOT
READY, YOU CAN JUST HANG -- BE WAITING OUT THERE WHILE
YOUR TABLE GETS READY AND EVERYTHING.
07:13:53PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WHAT ABOUT WHEN GRANDMA COMES?
07:13:57PM >> OUTDOOR SEATING -- EXISTING SEATING.
07:14:03PM >> THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF MAKING THIS A LESS GREAT
DEVELOPMENT.
IN A PERFECT WORLD, WE WILL HAVE TABLES AND CHAIRS BUT
THAT MEANS OCCUPANCY.
OCCUPANCY DESTROYS BUSINESSES BECAUSE OF THE PARKING.
162 SQUARE FEET FOR EVERY -- THAT IS THE ISSUE.
07:14:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I AM NOT TALKING OF TABLES AND CHAIRS.
I AM TALKING ABOUT A BENCH.
07:14:23PM >> BETWEEN US, BENCHES WILL HAD BEEN OKAY.
TRYING TO MAKE THE COMMITMENT AS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE TO THE
NEIGHBORS THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO SERVE PEOPLE HERE.
SOMEONE CAN WALK OUTSIDE.
IF WE DIDN'T WET ZONE THIS, WE WOULDN'T HAVE OCCUPANCY AND
-- SOMEBODY WILL CHECK ON THEIR KID AND HAVE A GLASS OF
WINE.
WE ARE TRYING TO TREAT THIS THE RIGHT WAY.
THAT IS WHY WE DECIDED TO WET ZONE IT, BUT MAKE THE
COMMITMENT NO SALES, NO KIOSKS.
CAN'T HAVE A LITTLE BEER CART.
07:14:55PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
PAUSE FOR A SECOND.
I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN HURTAK.
WHAT CAN WE PUT ON THE SITE PLAN ALLOW THEM TO PLACE BENCHES
AND NOT WET ZONE --
07:15:06PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THEY ARE WET ZONING.
07:15:09PM >> WITH THE CODE, WE ARE REALLY IN A TOUGH PLACE LIKE THIS.
WE ARE TRYING TO COMMIT TO THE NEIGHBORS IT IS NOT GOING TO
BE A RAGING OUTDOOR PLACE IN THIS GREEN TURF AREA.
TO YOUR POINT, MY MOTHER-IN-LAW USES A WALKER.
SHE WILL NEED TO GET A TABLE QUICKLY.
07:15:29PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
DADDY NEEDS A SEAT.
SO -- HOW PROBLEMATIC IS THAT ADDING AN OPPORTUNITY --
07:15:37PM >> I THINK YOU CAN ADD A LIMIT ON A NUMBER, A BENCH
OR TWO, WE DON'T WANT TO VOLUNTEER THIS.
WE ARE VOLUNTEERING BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW SENSITIVE THIS IS.
07:15:46PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
TRYING TO MAKE IT A MORE OF AN ASSET.
07:15:49PM >> WE APPRECIATE THAT.
BUT WE ARE TRYING TO TAKE -- NICKY KNOWS WELL SINCE WE HAVE
BEEN WORKING TOGETHER ON THIS.
THIS IS -- SOUTH TAMPA CAN BE TOUGH, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE
AFRAID OF CHANGE, AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT.
THIS ISLAND HAS GONE THROUGH A HELL OF A LOT.
WHEN YOU ARE ANXIOUS YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO CATASTROPHIZE.
07:16:11PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
CAN I HEAR FROM OUR STAFF'S OPINION ON
THIS FIRST?
07:16:16PM >>LaCHONE DOCK:
THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
LaCHONE DOCK, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
I WANT TO -- JUST A POINT OF CLARIFICATION JUST REGARDING
THE WAIVER REQUESTED WITH THIS AB SALES AREA.
ONE, THIS RED AREA WILL BE DESIGNATED AS THE INDOOR AB
SALES AREA.
THIS IS THE OUTDOOR AREA, THE AREA IN BLUE.
THERE WAS MENTIONED IF THIS WAS SHIFTED.
THESE AREAS WERE SPECIFIED FOR INDOORS AND OUTDOORS AND
CHANGE THE ALCOHOL SALES --
07:16:44PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SALES OR CONSUMPTION OR BOTH.
07:16:46PM >>LaCHONE DOCK:
CONSUMPTION ALSO.
THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS A RESTAURANT USE FOR BEER, WINE
AND LIQUOR ON-PREMISE ONLY.
THEY CAN CONSUME ON-PREMISE.
NO PACKAGE SALES ALLOWED.
SO THE -- NORMALLY, WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE IS YOUR INDOOR AREA.
YOU USE YOUR RESTAURANT AND CALCULATE YOUR OCCUPANCY.
PARK BASED ON THE OCCUPANCY FOR THE DINE DOOR AND OUTDOOR
AREA.
THIS APPLICANT HAS PUT A NOTE -- WILL PUT A CONDITION ON THE
PLAN THAT STATES NO TABLES AND CHAIRS ARE PERMITTED IN THE
OUTDOOR AREA.
WITH THAT NOTE AND THAT CONDITION, THAT ALLOWS THEM TO NOT
INCLUDE THAT OCCUPANCY INTO THE PARKING CALCULATION.
07:17:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ARE YOU INTENDING TO SELL LIQUOR OR
ALCOHOL IN THE OUTSIDE AREA?
IS THERE SUCH A DESIGNATION AS CONSUMPTION BUT NO SALES IN
THE AREA.
YOU CAN BUY A DRINK IN THE INDOOR AREA AND THE BAR AND WALK
OUT --
07:17:51PM >> THE CODE DOESN'T HAVE THAT.
AS LEGISLATIVE BRANCH OF THE CITY, CONSIDER THAT WHEN YOU
ARE REWRITING THE CODE.
WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE SAME FOR KIKI'S, THE GREEN AREA
THAT IN THE BACK THAT YOU JUST APPROVED, WE HAVE TO PARK ALL
THAT.
BECAUSE THIS IS IN THE FRONT AND A TRUE WAITING AREA
INSTEAD OF A MISCELLANEOUS KID TURF, WE DON'T HAVE TO PARK
IT.
WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE THE COMMITMENT -- PART OF PROBLEM AND
I DISCUSSED IT WITH MISS JOHNSON-VELEZ IS THE NOMENCLATURE.
AB SALES AREA.
ONE THING WE CAN PUT ON THE REVISION SHEET FOR THE AVOIDANCE
OF DOUBT AS LAWYERS LOVE TO SAY, WHERE IT SAYS "AB SALES
AREA," SUBJECT TO NOTE.
I DO NOT WANT TO CREATE AN INCONSISTENCY WHERE A DEVIOUS
SUCCESSOR SAYS IT SAYS SALES.
WE WANT TO SAY OUTDOORS, YOU CAN HAVE A DRINK IN THE HAND,
THE CODE DIDN'T CONTEMPLATE -- THE CODE SAID THE ONLY REASON
TO MAKE A PIECE OF EARTH WET IS IF YOU WERE SELLING ON IT.
AND HERE WE ARE NOT GOING TO SELL ON THAT.
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO WALK FROM OUTSIDE TO CHECK ON YOUR KID
OR WHATEVER.
07:18:59PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MISS JOHNSON-VELEZ, QUESTION, LEGAL
QUESTION.
SO WITH THAT -- COULD THIS BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH THAT -- WITH
A NOTE?
07:19:11PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ:
I THINK IF THE APPLICANT AND STAFF
CAN WORK TOGETHER ON COMING UP WITH SOMETHING, IT IS
POSSIBLE.
I THINK THE WAY THE LABELS ARE CURRENTLY, THE INDOOR SPACE
AND THE OUTDOOR SPACE, THE LABELS ARE THE SAME.
TO ME THAT IS THE SAME REASON, AND NOTE 6 THAT SPEAKS TO NO
FOOD SERVICE IN THE OUTDOOR AREA WHERE ITS KINDS OF HASHED
BUT STILL SAYS "SALES AREA," AN INCONSISTENCY OF THE NOTES
IN THE SITE PLAN.
07:19:39PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SOMETHING RESOLVED BETWEEN FIRST AND
SECOND.
07:19:43PM >> IF I CAN SUGGEST, LABELING "AB CONSUMPTION AREA" OUTSIDE.
AGAIN, THE VERNACULAR OF THE CODE.
I AM TELLING YOU ON THE RECORD WE ARE NOT SELLING ALCOHOL
OUTSIDE, ANDI AM CONFIDENT THAT MISS JOHNSON-VELEZ CAN WORK
ON SOMETHING THAT REALLY TIGHTLY --
07:20:00PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
RESOLVE THAT OUTDOOR IS CONSUMPTION ONLY
AND ADD FOUR OR FIVE BENCHES.
NO MORE THAN X NUMBER OF BENCHES ALLOWABLE FOR CONSUMPTION
OF SALES.
07:20:13PM >> THAT IS PART OF THE PATIO -- PART OF THIS IS THE PATIO.
07:20:19PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ:
MAYBE PUT A DIFFERENT COLOR.
07:20:21PM >> MAYBE DO THREE COLORS.
07:20:23PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ:
SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ, LEGAL
DEPARTMENT.
I THINK THIS AREA -- PART OF THE OUTDOOR AREA WILL BE SALES.
BUT THIS LARGER AREA THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MAYBE DOING
IT A DIFFERENT COLOR SO THAT MAYBE --
07:20:35PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THE WAITING AREA.
07:20:36PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ:
CONSUMPTION BUT NO SALES.
07:20:39PM >> AND CLEANER CROSS-HATCHING.
07:20:42PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
NICE ADDITION FOR DAVIS ISLANDS.
07:20:46PM >> CLEAN UP THE CROSS-HATCHING.
ENGINEERS DON'T ALWAYS HAVE THE BEST CROSS-HATCHING.
07:20:54PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THROW THE ENGINEER UNDER THE BUS.
S THE APPLICANT OKAY WITH ALL OF THAT?
07:21:02PM >> WITH THE APPLICANT, AND HE IS OKAY WITH THAT.
07:21:04PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
OKAY.
VERY GOOD.
WE NEED A MOTION TO CLOSE --
07:21:10PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
PUBLIC COMMENT.
07:21:11PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
PUBLIC COMMENT.
SEEMS LIKE WE ALREADY HAD PEOPLE WITH PUBLIC COMMENT BUT A
DIFFERENT ISSUE.
COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
07:21:19PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I WANT TO SAY THIS, MANY YEARS AGO, ABOUT
16 YEARS AGO, THAT RESTAURANT OPENED UP AS A 200 -- THAT WAS
NAME --
07:21:32PM >> 220.
07:21:33PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
BEHIND THAT RESTAURANT WAS DANUBE STREET
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I CAN SAY I WENT ON TO THAT RESTAURANT QUITE OFTEN WITH MY GOOD
FRIEND, AGLIANO, BUSTER.
I HAVE BEEN THERE, AND IT'S A WONDERFUL PLACE WHEN I WAS THERE.
AND IT LOOKED NICE.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
I HAVEN'T BEEN IN YEARS BECAUSE SINCE MY WIFE PASSED AWAY, I
DON'T GO OUT ANYMORE.
07:21:58PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
YOU USED TO BE ABLE TO CATCH YOUR OWN FISH
-- YOU COULD BRING YOUR OWN FISH AND THEY COOK IT FOR YOU.
07:22:04PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I WENT WITH THE FISH GUY THAT SOLD THE
FISH TO HIM.
CAFE PEPE.
07:22:11PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
PUBLIC COMMENT, IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO
THIS ITEM.
ANYBODY NOT SWORN IN?
ANYBODY SNEAK IN?
EVERYBODY HAS BEEN SWORN IN?
VERY GOOD.
START WITH YOUR NAME AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.
.>>SPEAKER: JAMES TRISHMAN.
I AM IN FAVOR OF THIS WAIVER.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU, SIR, BECAUSE I MENTIONED MY
WIFE IS THE -- MY WIFE AND I OWN DI PILATES.
MY WIFE AND MOTHER-IN-LAW ARE MASTER GARDENERS.
WE CREATED A 30-PAGE BEAUTIFICATION PLAN FOR DAVIS ISLAND,
AND MR. PATEL HAS BEEN WORKING ON THIS.
WE ARE GOING TO PROBABLY PRESENT IN MAYBE ANOTHER TIME, BUT
WHEN YOU BROUGHT UP THE OAKS, SITTING HERE WITH THAT 30-PAGE
PROPOSAL TO BRING NATIVE PLANTS AND TREES TO LOCATIONS THAT
ARE PART OF THIS.
WE USE THE TERM "COMMUNITY."
IT IS REALLY AN OPPORTUNITY, AN OPPORTUNITY TURN DAVIS ISLAND
VILLAGE INTO SOMETHING GREAT -- BETTER THAN IT IS NOW.
IT HAS BEEN THROUGH A LOT.
BUT YOU PUT TREES.
MY WIFE HAS BEEN HITTING ME UP.
SHE SAID BRING UP THE NATIVE PLANTS AND TREES TO THE COUNCIL.
YOU BROUGHT IT UP, SO I GOT IT.
THIS IS HUGE PART OF WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO, A LARGER VISION.
NOT A LOT OF SPECIFICS BUT WE ARE TRYING TO DO GREAT THINGS
HERE.
WHAT YOU BROUGHT UP IS ABSOLUTELY SOMETHING WE WANT TO BE A
PART OF.
I AM A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE DAVIS ISLAND BUSINESS ASSOCIATION
THAT WAS JUST RECENTLY CREATED.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST INITIATIVES THAT WE HAVE.
WE WANT TO BRING -- MY WIFE IS GOING TO SAY NATIVE PLANTS.
BRING NATIVE PLANTS TO BRING BUTTERFLIES AND WILDLIFE.
I WILL LEAVE THIS FOR YOU AND COME ACROSS YOUR DESK ANOTHER
TIME AND VERY IMPORTANT TO US, AND I WANT TO BRING THIS UP IN
SUPPORT OF THIS.
NOT JUST THAT WE ARE TRYING TO SERVE ALCOHOL AND HAVE A GOOD
TIME.
PART OF A LARGER OPPORTUNITY TO BRING THE VILLAGE TO
SOMETHING SPECIAL.
THANK YOU.
07:24:01PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
07:24:04PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
A PLAN LIKE THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS E-MAIL TO ALL
OF US.
07:24:08PM >> YES, MA'AM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:24:09PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
NEXT.
07:24:12PM >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME BACK, MEGAN DEVEREAUX.
I WAS A RESIDENT SINCE 1997.
PLEASE COME BACK TO OUR ISLAND.
WE WOULD LOVE TO HOST YOU.
I THINK I AM IN AN UNIQUE POSITION BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN THIS
ISLAND GROW IN THE LAST 20-PLUS YEARS AND OVERJOYED WITH ALL
THE WONDERFUL IMPROVEMENTS BEING MADE.
I HAVE A SPECIFIC PASSION ABOUT THE PARKING, BECAUSE I HAVE
-- I AM IN AT THAT POSITION WHERE I VOLUNTEER AT -- AT ALL
OF OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
BEEN IN THE PTA PRESIDENT AND THE BOOSTER PRESIDENT AND
LOOKING AT ALL OF THESE KIDS AND GIVES ME A HEART ATTACK WITH
THE CARS BACKING OUT.
NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN.
THE PARKING IS A MESS.
TO COME UP WITH A PLAN AND THAT WILL BE SAFER WITH THEIR
OWN MONEY PROVIDE ENOUGH SPOTS FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE TO
STILL PARK ON THIS WONDERFUL ISLAND WE ALL LIVE IN.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR
TAKING AN EXTRA SPECIAL CARE OF THIS PARKING SITUATION.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME.
ALSO, THE OUTDOOR SPACE THAT EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT.
I HAVE SEEN IT ALREADY HOW THEY ARE WORKING WITH THE KIDS IN
THIS PARKING LOT, AND I CHAIR THE DAVIS ISLAND IN THE
VILLAGE THIS PAST YEAR, AND I SEE THE WONDERFUL COMMUNITY AND
EVERYBODY GATHERING TOGETHER.
I PROMISE, IT IS NOT A BUNCH OF CRAZY DRUNKEN GASPARILLA
PIRATES TAKING OVER THE ISLAND.
07:25:32PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
JUST ONCE A YEAR.
07:25:33PM >> THEY MOVE IT TO BAYSHORE.
KEEP IT NICE ON OUR ISLAND.
220 IS THE CHEERS OF OUR ISLAND, AND I GO THERE ALL THE TIME
BECAUSE I DON'T COOK AND BUSY VOLUNTEERING, AND I JUST LOVE
IT.
I WANT TO FLOURISH.
THINK WITH YOUR HEARTS ABOUT THE COMMUNITY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
07:25:52PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
HAVE A WONDERFUL NIGHT.
THEY COME IN TWOS.
07:25:55PM >> MIKE AND MICHELLE GRAZELL.
108 CHESAPEAKE AVENUE.
JUST A LITTLE NOTE LIKE WE SAID BEFORE.
WE HAVE EIGHT-YEAR-OLD TWIN GIRLS THAT GO TO GORRIE
ELEMENTARY.
WE FREQUENT 220 FOUR TO FIVE TIMES A WEEK.
WE ARE THERE ALL THE TIME AND OUR KIDS ARE THERE ALL TIME.
THE PARKING LOT CONFIGURATION IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US AND
THE OVERALL EXCITEMENT OF GETTING THAT WHOLE BUILDING
WHERE OG PIZZA HAS BEEN VACANT FOR FIVE-PLUS YEARS DOING
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
IT IS JUST A REFRESHING THING TO GET SOME NEW THINGS.
I LOVED YOUR IDEA OF THE TREES FOR SHADE, FOR OUR KIDS AND
STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO WE ARE REALLY, REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY IN
OUR VILLAGE.
07:26:41PM >> WHAT SHE SAID.
ESSENTIALLY.
WE REALLY LOVE -- AGAIN, 220 IS THE ONLY PLACE THAT IS
CURRENTLY OPEN AND EXISTS ON THE ISLAND THAT IS THE CHEERS,
LIKE MEGAN HAD MENTIONED, THAT ULTIMATELY, ALL THE OTHER
FAMILIES.
A MEETING PLACE.
YOU RUN INTO YOUR NEIGHBORS, YOUR FRIENDS.
AND A GREAT, FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT, BUT THE WAY IT EXISTED
WITH THOSE EIGHT PARKING SPOTS FOR WHATEVER REASON THE
BUILDING AS DESIGNED AT SOME POINT IN TIME.
ONE OF THE GENTLEMAN BACK THERE SAID A 7-ELEVEN YEARS AGO
AND WHY IT WAS SET IN LIKE THAT.
BUT WHEN WE INITIALLY HEARD THERE WAS OPPOSITION TO
ELIMINATING THOSE PARKING SPACES AS THOUGH THEY WERE A
BENEFIT TO BE UP AGAINST A BUILDING LIKE THAT.
I WAS QUITE ASTONISHED BECAUSE WE ARE THERE VERY FREQUENT
AND KIDS ARE OUT FRONT.
OTHER FAMILIES' KIDS ARE OUT THERE AND NO PLACE FOR THE
KIDS TO REALLY BE SAFE AND TO HAVE THE INGRESS AND EGRESS.
GOING OVER A SIDEWALK JUST -- YEAH, A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND
CONCERN ULTIMATELY AND REALLY FOR MAXIMIZING ENJOYABILITY
OUT OF THE SPACE AND AREA.
07:27:44PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
GO JAGUARS.
07:27:47PM >> YES, GO JAGUARS.
I DO ALL THE GORRIE GEAR.
07:27:54PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I HAVE A GRANDDAUGHTER THERE.
07:27:56PM >> HI, SHAUNA WIGS.
DAVIS ISLAND RESIDENT.
I LOVE YOUR IDEA ABOUT THE TREES.
ONE THING I LIKE ABOUT THIS PROPOSAL IS IT MAKES BOTH
STREETS MORE UNIFORM.
YOU MOVE THE SPOTS OUT.
YOU MAYBE ADD SOME TREES.
A SAFE PLACE TO WALK.
MY SON IS EIGHT.
HE PLAYS BAYSHORE LITTLE LEAGUE.
HE AND HIS FRIENDS ARE OUT THERE IN THIS PARKING LOT RUNNING
AROUND.
IT IS SO DANGEROUS AND I CAN'T STRESS HOW DANGEROUS THIS
PARKING SITUATION IS.
ANYTHING THAT WE SAID TONIGHT IF WE SOLVE OF THAT PROBLEM
WILL BE THE BIGGEST ISSUE FOR ME.
I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS CONSIDERING IT.
THANK YOU.
07:28:33PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
NEXT SPEAKER.
07:28:35PM >> DANIELLE SCHUMACHER.
LIKE I SAID, I LIVED HERE 17 YEARS AND SO MUCH CHANGE GOING
ON WITH THE ISLAND.
I DIDN'T SAY PREVIOUSLY THAT I HAVE TWO CHILDREN, 14 AND 15.
SO I HAVE GROWN UP WITH SOFTBALL, BASEBALL BAYSHORE ON THE
ISLAND.
MY DAUGHTER ACTUALLY HAVE BROKEN HER ARM TRIPPING ACROSS THE
CURB RECENT IN FRONT OF ISLAND PIZZA.
I STRONGLY FEEL THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH THAT
FRONT PARKING AREA.
ALSO, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW THE SAME FEMA
GUIDELINES WITH BUILDING.
YOU GUYS SAID WHY DON'T THEY BUMP IT OUT, WELL, YOU KNOW,
YOU ARE DAMNED IF YOU DO AND DAMNED IF YOU DON'T ON DAVIS
ISLAND WITH FEMA AND REGULATIONS OF BUILDING NEW.
SO, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT THOSE PICTURES, PREVIOUSLY WHEN YOU
GUYS PUT UP ALL THE PICTURES, KIND OF EMBARRASSING ON HOW
POORLY AND HOW SHABBY EVERYTHING LOOKS.
AND I THINK ANYTHING ON IMPROVING DOING THE TREES, NOT
NECESSARILY OAK TREES.
I LOVE MY OAK TREES, BUT I ALSO HAVE THEM POP UP MY
SIDEWALKS BECAUSE I HAVE FOUR OF THEM IN MY FRONT YARD IN
DAVIS ISLAND.
I THINK THE GREEN SPACE IS IDEA TO THE BEAUTIFICATION OF
THIS PROJECT.
SO HOPING YOU APPROVE IT.
THANK YOU.
07:29:54PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
07:29:56PM >> HI, JEFF SIEGEL.
THE OTHER WAY?
07:30:04PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THERE YOU GO.
07:30:05PM >> ALL RIGHT, PERFECT.
JEFF SIEGEL, LONG-TIME DAVIS ISLAND RESIDENT BUT THE
OPERATING PARTNER OF 220 EAST.
I LIVE RIGHT BEHIND THE VILLAGE.
I HEAR THE NOs.
I HEAR ALL THAT.
ONE THING THAT I CAN ANSWER BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE IN THE
ROOM IS HOW UNSAFE THAT PARKING LOT IS.
EVERY DAY I AM THERE.
SO IF YOU SEE WHERE THIS WHITE CAR IS, THAT IS COMPLETELY
ILLEGALLY PARKED.
SO ITS BLOCKING THE ENTRANCE.
SO SOMEONE TURNING RIGHT INTO OUR LOT, THEY CAN'T SEE IF
SOMEBODY IS WALKING.
I SEE IT EVERY DAY.
SOMEBODY WALKING THEIR DOG, YANKING THE DOG BACK.
SOMEBODY WALKING WITH THEIR KIDS, PULLING THE KIDS BACK.
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT, I PUT THE CONES OUT FOR KIDS TO PLAY
IN THE PARKING LOT, A NICE SAFE PLACE TO PLAY SO THE KIDS
AND NO ONE CAN COME IN AND INJURY THEM.
I AM FOR IT.
ITS FOR SAFETY AND BRINGS SYMMETRICAL AND THE WHOLE VILLAGE WILL
LOOK BETTER.
07:31:01PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU FOR NOT HAVING A PICTURE OF MY CAR
ILLEGALLY PARKED.
07:31:06PM >> WELL, IT IS EVERY DAY.
EVERY DAY.
NOBODY CAN -- THEY HAVE COFFEE AND RUN IN.
THAT IS WHAT HAS HAPPEN.
IT WILL BE MUCH SAFER.
07:31:14PM >>BILL CARLSON:
A SWORN CONFESSION.
07:31:17PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
YES, SIR.
07:31:19PM >> AGAIN, D.J. HAMILTON.
620 COLUMBIA DRIVE, AND A 15-YEAR RESIDENT IN DAVIS ISLAND AND
BUSINESS OWNER IN THE VILLAGE.
REALLY, I WANT TO GET BEHIND MOVING THESE PARKING SPACES TO
THE STREET.
I CANNOT EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE BEEN EATING
OUTSIDE OF 220 IN THE PATIO AREA, AND JUMPED UP IN HORROR AS
SOMEONE IS WHIPPED AROUND IN THE CORNER, INTO THAT LOT, AND
MISSED A KID BY TEN FEET.
IT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED.
NOW AS FAR AS THE VILLAGE BEAUTIFICATION THAT JAMES SPOKES
ON EARLIER.
WE ARE BEHIND THAT 100%, AND GREEN SPACE IN THAT PARKING LOT
AREA WILL LOOK BEAUTIFUL FOR THE BEAUTIFICATION OF OUR
VILLAGE.
WE HOPE YOU SUPPORT IT.
THANK YOU.
07:32:11PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
07:32:12PM >> GOOD EVENING, CHRIS BENTLEY.
AS MR. HAMILTON JUST SAID, THE PARKING LOT IS A BIG DEAL FOR
ME.
WE ARE GIVING ONE SPOT.
NO BRAINER OF MOVING THIS PARKING LOT TO ADDRESS ALL THE
CONCERNS THAT OTHER RESIDENTS HAVE MADE.
WITH REGARD TO THE OTHER SPOT, IF THERE ARE OTHER OPPOSITION
WITH REGARDS TO NOISE OR WHATNOT, THIS IS EVEN FARTHER INTO
THE VILLAGE NOW AND NEXT TO OTHER BARS ACROSS THE STREET.
WE ARE EVEN NEAR ISLANDS WITHOUT PIZZA AND ANCHOR BAR ALL IN
THAT VICINITY.
A NO BRAINER KIND OF LIKE THE PREVIOUS REQUEST.
I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
07:32:51PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU, SIR.
07:32:52PM >> SCOTT PRADES, 410 EAST DAVIS.
I AM SAYING I AM IN FAVOR OF THEM ACTUALLY FIXING THIS
PARKING BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR A WHILE.
AS A DAVIS ISLAND CIVIC ASSOCIATION BOARD MEMBER, WE DIDN'T
HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS FROM THE BOARD'S STANDPOINT.
WE DID HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE PREVIOUS ONE, BUT YOU GUYS
ALREADY DECIDED THIS.
I WANT TO ADDRESS SOMETHING BY THE GROUPS HERE, OLD TIME
RESIDENTS DON'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT WE DON'T WANT CHANGE.
WE WANT CONTROLLED CHANGE.
YOU HAVE WAIVERS FOR A REASON.
SO THOSE WAIVERS SHOULD BE CAREFULLY SCRUTINIZED BY THIS
GROUP, AND THOSE ARE THE THINGS.
THIS, I BELIEVE, ARE THREE WAIVERS, AND THE LAST ONE WAS TWO
WAIVERS.
ENCROACHING CLOSER TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, RESIDENTIAL AREAS, WE
NEED TO BE RESPECTFUL OF THAT.
ONE OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES ON DAVIS ISLAND IS I AM WORKING
WITH THE TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT AS THE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
COORDINATOR.
THIS IS A PROBLEM, AND I AM GLAD IT IS BEING TAKEN CARE OF.
AND OTHER PROBLEMS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED, AND I LOOK TO
YOU, ALL OF YOU FINE FOLKS --
07:34:09PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SIR, YOU HAVE TO SPEAK TO YOU --
07:34:11PM >> I LOOK TO YOU MY FINE PEOPLE AND NEIGHBORS, THEY COME TO
THE DAVIS ISLAND ASSOCIATION TO WORK WITH US TO FIND OUT HOW
THIS WHOLE PLAN WILL BE MAPPED OUT FOR THE FUTURE.
THIS AREA RIGHT HERE IS AN AREA WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN BARS
AND RESTAURANTS FOR A LONG TIME.
WE DON'T WANT IT TO CREEP INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT TAKE
CARE OF THIS PARKING, AND I AM TOTALLY IN FAVOR OF IT.
AND US LONG-TIME RESIDENTS ARE NOT ADVERSE TO CHANGE.
AND WE WANT TO WORK TOGETHER WITH THE BUSINESSES, WHICH ARE
MOST OF THE PEOPLE HERE TODAY.
THANK YOU FOR ALL OF WHAT YOU DO.
I VOLUNTEER, AND I MAKE SURE I LEAVE MY NEIGHBORHOOD BETTER
THAN I FOUND IT.
THANK YOU.
07:35:01PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
EXCELLENT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YES, SIR.
BRING IT HOME.
07:35:05PM >> GOOD EVENING, AGAIN, ALEX SANTOS, 37 LADOGA.
YOU KNOW AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE
LITTLE LEAGUE, BUT I ALSO COACH THREE TEAMS.
I HAPPEN TO BE AT THE FIELD MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY,
THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, BETWEEN PRACTICES AND GAMES,
WHICH LEADS ME TO 220, MARGARITAS, ISLAND PIZZA A LOT.
I WILL SAY ONE THING AS A PARENT AND COACH THAT BRINGS A
BUNCH OF KIDS HERE.
THIS PARKING LOT IS THE ONLY SPACE ON THE ACTUAL AVENUE AND
STRIP WHERE THE KIDS CAN HANG OUT.
THE ONLY AREA ON THE STRIP WHERE THE PARKING SPACES DON'T
MATCH THE REST OF DOWNTOWN DAVIS ISLAND.
BY BRINGING THE PARKING SPACES OUTSIDE, ISOLATING THAT
AREA, YOU ARE ACTUALLY CREATING THE LARGEST SAFE PLACE IN
DOWNTOWN DAVIS ISLANDS OF THE VILLAGES OF FOR THE KIDS AND
FAMILY.
THERE ARE ISSUES WITH TRAFFIC AND PROTECTING THE KIDS,
NOT ONLY KIDS BUT DOGS, PETS, AND EVERYONE ELSE.
FROM A COMMON ESSENTIALS PERSPECTIVE, I DON'T KNOW THE
LOGISTICS OF PLANNING AND ZONING.
THE FACT THAT THERE IS ALCOHOL ALLOWED ON ONE SIDE AND
PARTIAL AREA OF THE OTHER SIDE.
IT MAKES SENSE TO ALLOW ALCOHOL TO BE SOLD THROUGHOUT THE
WHOLE BUILDING INSIDE, FOR THE WHOLE UNIT, IN MY OPINION.
I AM OKAY WITH THAT.
BUT IN TERMS OF THE PARKING AND THE OVERALL PROJECT LIKE THE
IDEA AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
07:36:42PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENT.
STAFF, DO WE HAVE A MEETING OF THE MINDS.
07:36:48PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ:
SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ.
LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
YES, THANK YOU FOR ASKING.
I WANTED TO PUT THIS BACK UP SO EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM
INCLUDING COUNCIL -- ESPECIALLY COUNCIL, IS CLEAR WHAT WE
ARE TALKING ABOUT.
SO THIS AREA IN PINK, THIS LITTLE SQUARE DOWN HERE OF WHAT
IS NOW BLUE.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL STAY BLUE, BUT THESE TWO AREAS THAT
ARE HASHED MARKED HERE ARE GOING TO BE THE AB SALES AND
SERVICE AREA.
THIS AREA ON THE SITE PLAN COMES WITH REVISIONS IN A DIFFERENT
COLOR AND CONSUMPTION IN THIS AREA AND NO SALES.
07:37:32PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
PERFECT.
07:37:33PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ:
I AND THE APPLICANT AND STAFF WILL
LOOK AT NOTE 6 ON THE SITE PLAN TO ACCURATELY DEPICT WHAT
WILL BE SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN.
AND THEN FINALLY, BECAUSE THIS AREA IS GOING TO BE AN AB
SALES AREA, SALES AND SERVICE AREA, IT WILL NEED TO BE
COUNTED TOWARD THE REQUIRED PARKING.
IT WILL BE 36-PLUS WHATEVER THE ADDITIONAL OCCUPANCY.
EITHER WAY, COUNCIL IS BEING ASKED TO REDUCE WHATEVER THAT
NUMBER IS DOWN TO ZERO.
07:38:07PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
AND WORK WITH NATURAL RESOURCES TO SEE
WHAT THEY WILL DO WITH THE TREES.
07:38:11PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IF YOU CAN LEAVE THAT THERE.
07:38:12PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I WANT TO ASK ONE QUESTION.
NO OUTSIDE AMPLIFIED MUSIC.
07:38:19PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I THINK THAT WAS ON THERE.
07:38:23PM >> IT IS CURRENTLY ALLOWED BUT ELIMINATING IT FOR THE WHOLE
PROPERTY.
ON THE NATURAL RESOURCES.
I KNOW WE LIVE IN A LOW TRUST SOCIETY, I WOULD ASK THAT WE
MAYBE NOT REGULATE THAT.
IT COULD BE SHADE STRUCTURES.
I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT COULD LOOK LIKE.
I AM HAPPY TO PUT A NOTE -- AND I KNOW THE APPLICANT IS
HAPPY TO PUT A NOTE TO COORDINATE WITH, BUT I DON'T THINK WE
CAN YET COMMIT TO WHERE TREES WILL GO ON HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE
GOT, YOU KNOW, ROOTING ISSUES.
WE WANT TO MAKE THIS PLACE VERY INVITING AND MAY BE A SHADE
STRUCTURE, MIGHT NOT BE A TREE.
IF YOU ALL INSIST, WE ARE NOT GOING TO LOOK A GIFT HORSE IN
A MOUTH, BUT I WANT TO BE CAREFUL TO NOT OVERCOMMIT.
07:39:01PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I THINK IT IS REASONABLE TO CONSULT WITH
NATURAL RESOURCES.
IF THEY STATED THAT A TREE WOULD NOT LIVE HERE FOR SOME
PARTICULAR REASON.
07:39:09PM >> MIGHT BE MORE ALIGNED HERE.
07:39:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
IF THERE IS VIABILITY.
VIABILITY, I WOULD THINK THAT HAD THE NATURAL --
07:39:17PM >> WE ARE HAPPY TO CONSULT.
I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A SITE PLAN NOTE THAT COMMITS US TO A
NUMBER OF TREES.
WE WILL TALK TO NATURAL RESOURCES.
07:39:28PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I THOUGHT TWO WERE REASONABLE.
07:39:39PM >> THERE ARE TWO PLANTERS.
07:39:40PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
CRAPPY PARKING LOT TREES.
07:39:43PM >> THAT IS NOT THEIR NAME BUT I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE REFERRING
TO.
[LAUGHTER]
07:39:50PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I HAVE A QUESTION NOW THAT I LOOKED AT THIS
CAREFULLY.
FOR US, IT LOOKS PURPLE.
I GUESS THAT IS BLUE.
THAT WILL BE FENCED IN, YOU ARE SAYING?
07:40:04PM >> YES.
07:40:04PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SO THEN I'M GOING TO PUT ON MY BIKE HELMET
AND TELL YOU THAT GETTING A BIKE INSIDE A FENCED GATED AREA
IS A GIANT PAIN.
I DON'T KNOW THAT IS A GREAT PLACE FOR A BIKE RACK, BUT AS
THE VILLAGE CONSIDERS THEIR -- A NEW PLAN FOR THAT AREA,
MAYBE IT IS MUCH BETTER TO LOOK AT A SPACE THAT -- THAT THAT
WOULD WORK FOR MULTIPLE BUSINESSES ALONG THAT AREA TO KIND
OF COALESCE YOUR BIKE PARKING IN ONE SPACE.
BUT I AM SAYING FROM A BIKE -- YOU ARE JUST GOING TO HAVE A
HUNK OF METAL THERE, BECAUSE CYCLISTS WON'T BE ABLE TO USE
THAT.
YOU CAN'T GET IN THE GATE.
AND YOU DON'T WANT YOUR BIKE AROUND A BUNCH OF KIDS.
BIKES ARE EXPENSIVE.
07:40:55PM >> UNDERSTOOD.
07:40:57PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
AT BEST, PEOPLE WILL LOCK THE BIKES TO THE
FENCE.
07:41:02PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
YOU MAY WANT TO REVISIT THAT.
07:41:04PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OVERALL -- I HEARD PEOPLE TALKING OF A DAVIS
ISLAND BUSINESS PLAN.
I DO BELIEVE THAT WILL BE BETTER SERVED IF THE DAVIS ISLAND
BUSINESS PLAN HAS MORE COLLATED --
07:41:15PM >> LIKE A CENTRALIZED --
07:41:16PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
BIKE PARKING LIKE FOUR DIFFERENT SPOTS, ONE
ON EACH BLOCK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I APPRECIATE IT.
I AM THE CYCLE ADVOCATE, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT IS A GOOD
PLACE.
07:41:27PM >> A HELPFUL PERSPECTIVE.
THANK YOU.
07:41:29PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I REALLY DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP ON THE TREE
THING.
07:41:33PM >> WE ARE HAPPY TO ADOPT A NOTE TO CONSULT WITH NATURAL
RESOURCES.
07:41:41PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THE VIABILITY.
I WON'T BE UNREASONABLE --
07:41:45PM >> I WILL BE HERE AT SECOND READING, AND I WILL EXPLAIN WHAT
WE DID AND DIDN'T DO AND WHAT CONVERSATIONS WE HAD.
I DIDN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT DRAWING TREES ON THE MAP, AND
RICKY IS NOT HERE, AND I NEED RICKY FOR THAT.
07:41:58PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I GET THAT.
THAT PLACE HAS BEEN PAVED OVER FOR YEARS.
GOD KNOW WHAT IS UNDERNEATH IT.
07:42:06PM >> THESE ARE PROPOSED TO BE LIVE OAKS FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH.
07:42:11PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WHAT ARE THEY CALLED SPRING OAKS --
07:42:16PM >> I REALLY NEED RICKY FOR THAT.
07:42:17PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
LIVE OAKS.
