ITEM NUMBER 4.
5:23:32PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
FOR THE RECORD, CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE WITH DEVELOPMENT
COORDINATION.

AGENDA 4 IS REZ 25-76, A REQUEST TO REZONE 901, 903, 905,
907 AND 911 EAST ELLICOTT STREET FROM SEMINOLE HEIGHTS
RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR
SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED USES.
WE'LL START WITH AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE COMPRISED OF
MULTIPLE PARCELS.
THE SITE IS LOCATED SOUTH OF EAST ELLICOTT STREET, EAST OF
NORTH 9th STREET, AND WEST OF NORTH 10th STREET.
THE SITE IS CURRENTLY UNDEVELOPED.
IT IS SURROUNDED BY SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNITS TO THE
NORTH, EAST, AND SOUTH, ZONED SEMINOLE HEIGHTS RESIDENTIAL
SINGLE-FAMILY.
AS WELL AS SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNITS TO THE WEST, ZONED
COMMERCIAL GENERAL, WITH THE APPLICANT'S PROPOSED USE
PROVIDING A TRANSITION BETWEEN COMMERCIAL ZONED PROPERTY AND
THE EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED USES.
THE SITE ALSO LIES WITHIN THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS DISTRICT AND
MUST COMPLY WITH STANDARDS SET FORTH IN SECTION 27-211 AT
THE TIME OF PERMITTING.
THE SUBJECT SITE HAS A FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF
RESIDENTIAL 20, WHICH ALLOWS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF UP TO 18
DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE BY RIGHT AND UP TO 20 DWELLING UNITS
PER ACRE WITH A BONUS PROVISION.
GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE SITE AT 33,553 SQUARE FEET IN AREA,
MAXIMUM OF 13 UNITS IS ALLOWED BY RIGHT.

WE DO HAVE A SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.
LOOKING AT THE SITE PLAN, WE CAN SEE THE SITE IS PROPOSED
WITH FOUR BUILDINGS.
THERE ARE FOUR GUEST PARKING SPACES ORIENTED TOWARDS THE
MIDDLE OF THE SITE.
THERE IS A TWO-WAY DRIVE AISLE RUNNING EAST TO WEST,
PROVIDING INGRESS/EGRESS ALONG BOTH NORTH 9th STREET AND
NORTH 10th STREET.
THERE IS AN EXISTING 6-FOOT SIDEWALK ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF
THE PROPERTY RUNNING EAST TO WEST WITH A FIVE FOOT SIDEWALK
PROPOSED TO RUN NORTH TO SOUTH ALONG NORTH 10th STREET AND
A 6-FOOT SIDEWALK PROPOSED TO RUN NORTH TO SOUTH ON NORTH
9th STREET.
EACH OF THESE UNITS WOULD HAVE A TWO-CAR GARAGE.
LOOKING AT FRONT DOOR ORIENTATION IN BUILDING A, UNIT ONE
WOULD HAVE FRONT DOOR ORIENTATION TOWARDS NORTH 9th
STREET.
HOWEVER, UNITS 2, 3 OF BUILDING A AS WELL AS UNITS 4, 5, AND
6 OF UNIT B WOULD HAVE FRONT DOORS ORIENTED TOWARD EAST
ELLICOTT STREET.
UNIT 7 WITHIN -- UNIT 7 WITHIN BUILDING B WOULD HAVE STREET
FRONTAGE OR DOORS ORIENTED TOWARD NORTH 10th STREET AND
THEN LOOKING AT BUILDING C, UNIT 8 WOULD HAVE ITS FRONT
DOORS ORIENTED TOWARDS NORTH 9th STREET.
WHEREAS UNITS 9 AND 10 WOULD HAVE THEIR DOORS ORIENTED

TOWARDS THAT DRIVE AISLE.
LASTLY, IN BUILDING D, UNITS 11 AND 12 WOULD HAVE THEIR
FRONT DOORS ORIENTED TOWARDS THAT TWO-WAY DRIVE AISLE AND
UNIT 13 IN BUILDING D WOULD HAVE ITS FRONT DOORS ORIENTED
TOWARDS THE STREET.
NEXT WE DO HAVE SOME AERIALS.
FOR BUILDING A NORTH, SOUTH, EAST -- OR EAST AND WEST.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE PROPOSED HEIGHTS FOR THESE
BUILDINGS WOULD BE A MAX OF 35 FEET, WHICH IS IN LINE WITH
THE MAX HEIGHT FOR OUR RS ZONING DISTRICTS.
NEXT WE HAVE OUR AERIALS FOR BUILDING B.
NEXT WE HAVE BUILDING C.
LASTLY BUILDING D.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE ALSO THAT THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING
ONE WAIVER, WHICH IS NOTED IN THE STAFF REPORT.
WE DO HAVE SOME PHOTOS TO SHOW.
THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE SUBJECT SITE LOOKING EAST.
THIS PHOTO IS FROM THE NORTHEAST CORNER, NORTH 10th
STREET, EAST ELLICOTT.
THIS IS A VIEW OF THE SUBJECT SITE LOOKING SOUTH FROM EAST
ELLICOTT.
THIS IS THE NORTHWEST CORNER, EAST ELLICOTT, NORTH 9th
STREET.
NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
ONE ADDITIONAL SHOWING A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN ON THE NORTH

SIDE.
PHOTOS TO THE EAST.
SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
THIS IS ALONG EAST NEW ORLEANS AVENUE.
ADDITIONAL HOUSES ALONG EAST NEW ORLEANS AVENUE.
WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE, AND ONE ADDITIONAL PROPERTY TO THE
WEST.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE
PETITION AND WE DO FIND THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE
APPLICABLE CITY OF TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AND
SHOULD IT BE THE PLEASURE OF CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE
APPLICATION, FURTHER MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN MUST BE
COMPLETED BY THE APPLICANT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
AS STATED ON THE REVISION SHEET, AND I WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR
ANY QUESTIONS.
5:29:29PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY QUESTIONS.
AGAIN, I CAN'T SEE COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN'S VIDEO.
5:29:35PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I DO HAVE QUESTIONS.
5:29:37PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
5:29:40PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I'M LOOKING AT IT TRYING TO SEE THE GARAGE
SIZES.
AM I CORRECT IN ASSUMING SOME OF THE GARAGE SIZES ARE AS
SMALL AS 20 FEET WIDE?
I WANT TO MAKE SURE WHAT I'M SEEING IS CORRECT WITH WHAT YOU
GUYS HAVE THERE.

5:30:01PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
WE ARE SHOWING 22 FEET IN DEPTH AND
20 FEET IN WIDTH.
5:30:08PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
20 FEET WIDE.
VERY GOOD.
THANK YOU.
THAT'S WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW.
MY OTHER QUESTIONS WILL BE FOR THE APPLICANT.
THANK YOU.
5:30:14PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
5:30:19PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THERE WAS AN E-MAIL I RECEIVED FROM THE
OLD SEMINOLE HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION LAND USE
COMMITTEE CONCERNING ABOUT 4, REZ 25-76 STATING THEM THAT
NOR THE PRESIDENT -- RECEIVED NOTICE UNDER SECTION 27-149
WITHIN 300 FEET OF THE ZONING PROPOSAL.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS A FACT BUT I RECEIVED AN E-MAIL.
5:30:41PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
MS. WELLS.
5:30:43PM >>CATE WELLS:
GOOD EVENING.
CATE WELLS, FOR THE RECORD, I RECEIVED A COPY OF THE E-MAIL
THIS MORNING, I CHECKED WITH SULING LUCAS.
SHE CONFIRMED ALL OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS THAT HAD
BEEN NOTICED.
I INDEPENDENTLY DID A SEARCH ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE TO
IDENTIFY ALL OF THE REGISTERED ASSOCIATIONS THAT ARE
REQUIRED TO RECEIVE NOTICE AND OLD SEMINOLE HEIGHTS WAS NOT

INCLUDED FOR ANY OF THE FOLIO NUMBERS THAT ARE A PART OF
THIS DEVELOPMENT.
WE DID NOT SEE A MISNOTICE.
THANK YOU FOR ASKING.
5:31:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
I HAVE A QUESTION.
I NOTICED IN YOUR PHOTOS THAT EVERYTHING SURROUNDING IT WAS
SINGLE-FAMILY.
HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU FIND THIS CONSISTENT?
[ APPLAUSE ]
[ SOUNDING GAVEL ]
NO, NO, NO.
NO CLAPPING BECAUSE I'LL HAVE TO ASK PEOPLE TO LEAVE IF YOU
CLAP.
5:31:45PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
JUST A MOMENT.
LET ME GRAB MY AERIAL HERE.
IN ANALYZING THE SITE AS WELL AS THE SURROUNDING PARCELS,
STAFF DOES RECOGNIZE THAT WE DO HAVE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED
TO THE NORTH, TO THE SOUTH, EAST, AND THE WEST.
THERE ARE TWO THINGS WE LOOKED AT.
WE LOOKED AT THESE PARCELS TO THE IMMEDIATE WEST.
THEY WOULD BE ON THE WEST SIDE OF NORTH 9th STREET.
THOSE PARCELS ARE ZONED SEMINOLE HEIGHTS COMMERCIAL GENERAL.
SO WE HAD TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT ALTHOUGH THEY ARE

DEVELOPED WITH SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNITS, THERE IS ALWAYS
A POSSIBILITY IN THE FUTURE THEY COULD BE DEVELOPED FOR CG
USES.
SO WE LOOKED AT IT AND WE SAID, WELL, IF THE SITES WERE
DEVELOPED FOR COMMERCIAL GENERAL USES, WE LOOKED AT HOW THIS
DEVELOPMENT WOULD FIT IN.
IN TERMS OF IF YOU HAVE DEVELOPMENT IN THE FUTURE, LET'S SAY
YOU HAVE COMMERCIAL GENERAL DEVELOPMENT BUILT HERE, THE
TOWNHOMES WOULD PROVIDE A TRANSITION TO THOSE SINGLE-FAMILY
USES THAT ARE TO THE EAST OF THAT CG ZONING.
ADDITIONALLY, WE LOOKED AT THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION
OF THE SITE.
RESIDENTIAL 20 CALLS FOR MEDIUM AND LOWER DENSITY USES,
SMALL SINGLE-FAMILY, FAMILY UNITS, AS WELL AS DUPLEXES,
CONDOMINIUMS, TOWNHOMES, AS WELL AS MULTIFAMILY.
SO WE LOOKED AT NOT ONLY THE USES THERE, BUT ALSO THE
DENSITY LEVELS THAT ARE PERMITTED UNDER R-20.
STANDARD DEVELOPMENT, UP TO 18 WITH A BONUS PROVISION, THEY
CAN BUMP IT OUT TO 20 DWELLING UNITS AN ACRE.
5:33:41PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
AGAIN, MY CONCERN IS WE DON'T GENERALLY SEE
THIS.
IT COULD BE COMMERCIAL GENERAL.
IT'S NOT.
IT CLEARLY ISN'T.
SO, I MEAN, I JUST DON'T REMEMBER US -- YOU MAKING RULINGS

BASED ON WHAT COULD BE INSTEAD OF WHAT IS.
5:34:05PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
WELL, WE HAVE TO FACTOR IN THE
PERMITTED USES THAT ARE ALLOWED UNDER A ZONING.
SO ALTHOUGH THERE IS NOT A USE THERE, WE DO HAVE TO THINK
NOT ONLY WHAT IS THERE CURRENTLY, BUT ALSO IN THE COMING
YEARS.
SAME THING WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
WE MAY NOT SEE WHAT WOULD LOOK LIKE R-20 TYPES OF USES AS
WELL AS DENSITY, BUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LOOKS AT THIS,
WHAT'S THE VISION FOR THIS SITE AND OTHERS.
5:34:35PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
THANK YOU.
5:34:36PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
YOU'RE WELCOME.
5:34:37PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
APPLICANT.
MR. THOMAS, IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE -- I'M SO SORRY, PLANNING
COMMISSION.
APOLOGIES.
5:35:01PM >>QUINN STEELE:
QUINN STEELE, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
THE SITE IS WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT.
SOUTHEAST SEMINOLE HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD AND SEMINOLE HEIGHTS
URBAN VILLAGE.
ALSO WITHIN EVACUATION ZONE E.
SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED IN PURPLE AND DESIGNATED
RESIDENTIAL 20 WHICH SUPPORTS LOW TO MEDIUM DENSITY

RESIDENTIAL USES INCLUDING SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED, TOWNHOMES
AND MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT.
WITH LIMITED NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING COMMERCIAL USES AT .5
F.A.R.
R-10 IS LOCATED DIRECTLY EAST IN CMU 35 TO THE WEST ALONG
NORTH NEBRASKA AVENUE WHICH IS A TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDOR.
THE REQUEST WOULD ALLOW 13 SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED DWELLING
UNITS ON A VACANT SITE.
CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE R-20
DESIGNATION.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FOUND THE OVERALL DESIGN
COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA.
THE PROJECT ORIENTS FRONT DOORS TOWARDS THE STREETS WHERE
POSSIBLE, INCLUDES INTERNAL SIDEWALKS WITH UNITS 9 THROUGH
12 FACING AN INTERNAL DRIVE AISLE.
WHILE THIS MEETS THE INTENT OF LU POLICY 9.2.6, THERE
REMAINS POTENTIAL CONFLICTS FOR VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS
WHEN CARS ARE BACKING OUT OF GARAGES WITH ZERO FOOT SETBACK.
THE PROPOSAL PROVIDES COMPATIBLE INFILL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN
AN URBAN VILLAGE AND NEAR A TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDOR
PROVIDING ADDITIONAL HOUSING NEAR TRANSIT, EMPLOYMENT, AND
COMMERCIAL USES.
BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
IS REQUESTING A PAINTED CROSSWALK BETWEEN THE GUEST PARKING
AREAS ALONG THE INTERNAL DRIVE AISLE TO IMPROVE PEDESTRIAN

SAFETY.
OVERALL, THIS REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LONG-RANGE
DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ENVISIONED UNDER THE R-20 DESIGNATION
AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
5:36:31PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY QUESTIONS?
SEEING NONE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
APPLICANT.
5:36:37PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
STEVE MICHELINI.
AS YOU'VE HEARD FROM THE STAFF, BOTH THE CITY AND THE COUNTY
PLANNING COMMISSION HAVE FOUND IT CONSISTENT.
IT'S DIFFICULT TO OVERCOME A QUESTION IN ADVANCE OF A
PRESENTATION THAT SEEMS TO BE LEADING TOWARD CONCERNS ABOUT
THE DEVELOPMENT THAT GO BEYOND THE PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE OF
BOTH STAFFS.
WE WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH THEM.
WE REMOVED UNITS SO THAT WE WOULD NOT BE PUSHING DENSITY ON
THIS PROJECT.
IT IS DESIGNATED AN R-20 AND IT IS AN APPROPRIATE TRANSITION
BETWEEN THE COMMERCIAL TO THE WEST AS WELL AS CLOSE
PROXIMITY TO NEBRASKA AVENUE, WHICH IS A TRANSIT CORRIDOR.
WE'VE WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH THEM.
WE'RE PROVIDING DOUBLE THE GREENSPACE.
I THINK YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN THAT ON THE SITE PLAN, BUT I'LL

SHOW IT TO YOU AGAIN.
THIS IS NOT AN INTENSIVE -- CAN YOU SEE THAT OR MOVE IT UP?
IS THAT BETTER?
5:37:41PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THERE YOU GO.
5:37:42PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
WE PROVIDED AMPLE GREENSPACE IN THE
CENTER HERE AND HERE, WHICH PROVIDES AN OPEN SPACE AND
POTENTIAL RECREATION AREA, PASSIVE RECREATION AREA.
WE FACED ALL OF THE DOORS, EXCEPT FOR A COUPLE OF THESE
UNITS FACE THE INTERNAL DRIVEWAY.
BUT ALL OF THE OTHER ONES FACE EITHER 10th, 9th OR
ELLICOTT.
WE'VE ALSO PROVIDED OVER 4,000 SQUARE FEET OF GREENSPACE,
WHICH IS DOUBLE WHAT'S REQUIRED UNDER THE CODE.
EXACTLY.
WE'RE PROVIDING 12,738 SQUARE FEET OF GREENSPACE, WHICH IS
CONSISTENT WITH AND IT'S A NOD TOWARD SENSITIVITY REGARDING
THE DEVELOPMENT ITSELF.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS ALREADY POINTED OUT TO YOU THAT
IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USE POLICIES.
WE HAD THIS AT THE LAST MINUTE, WE HAD A LETTER FILED THAT
SAID WE WERE MISNOTICE, WHICH THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT WE
DID NOT MISNOTICE.
IN FACT, WE USED ALL OF THE APPROPRIATE PROCEDURES ASSIGNED
BY THE CITY TO IDENTIFY THE APPROPRIATE DESIGNATION AND
NOTICES TO THE PROPERTIES AND THE HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS.

WE'RE PROPOSING 13 UNITS.
THE HEIGHT, MAXIMUM HEIGHT IS 35 FEET, WHICH IS CONSISTENT
WITH SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL THAT'S SURROUNDING THERE AS
WELL AS THE OTHERS.
THE SETBACKS ARE SEVEN FEET TO THE NORTH, 23 TO THE SOUTH,
20 TO THE EAST AND 20 TO THE WEST.
WE'VE ALSO PROVIDED YOU WITH ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS FOR THE
NEIGHBORHOOD AND FOR THE AREA THAT SHOWS THE BUFFERING THAT
WE'RE PROVIDING FOR YOU FOR CONSIDERATION.
AND THE BUFFERING IS, AGAIN, BACK TO THE SITE PLAN, 20 FEET
ON THIS SIDE AND 20 FEET ON THIS SIDE.
AND THAT'S THE AREAS THAT ARE CLOSEST TO THE RIGHTS-OF-WAY.
GOING THROUGH THIS PROPOSAL, THERE WERE MORE UNITS THAT WERE
INITIALLY PROPOSED, AND THE OWNER AND DEVELOPER REDUCED
THOSE, REMOVED THEM FROM THE SITE PLAN IN CONSIDERATION OF
THE DENSITY ISSUE THAT MIGHT COME UP.
THE SITE LIES WITHIN THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS DISTRICT, AND
WE'VE MET THE STANDARDS -- OR WE WILL HAVE TO MEET THE
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 27-211.
AND THE DEVELOPMENT, AS I SAID, BY RIGHT IS 13 UNITS.
WHEN WE GO THROUGH THE CRITERIA FOR CONSIDERATION, PROMOTE
THE OFFICIAL AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF LAND AND INFRASTRUCTURE.
BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION IS FOUND THAT THE SITE IS
CURRENTLY UNDEVELOPED.
THE APPLICANT PROPOSES THE DEVELOPMENT SUBJECT TO 13 SINGLE

UNITS.
AND NATURAL RESOURCES HAS MET THROUGH THE APPLICANT'S
PROCESS.
WE'LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ALL OF THE REQUIRED TREES ON-SITE.
THE CODE TALKS ABOUT PROMOTING AND ENCOURAGING DEVELOPMENT
IN APPROPRIATE LOCATION AND CHARACTER.
THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS WILL PROVIDE APPROPRIATE INFILL
DEVELOPMENT.
THE SITE IS SURROUNDED BY SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL EAST AND
SOUTH AND SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT DETACHED.
THE WEST ZONING IS SEMINOLE HEIGHTS CG, WHICH IS THE
COMMERCIAL DESIGNATION, WHICH IS A MUCH HIGHER INTENSIVE
USE, WHICH IS IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE WEST.
PROMOTE THE MORE DESIRABLE LIVING AND WORKING CONDITIONS AND
ENVIRONMENTS.
THE SITE IS CURRENTLY -- THE APPLICANT WE'RE REQUESTING THE
SEMINOLE HEIGHTS PD AND THE ATTACHED WOULD NOT ALLOW FOR THE
CURRENT ZONING UNDER THE CURRENT ZONING.
PROMOTES THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES AND ELEMENTS AS PROVIDED
FOR IN THE CODE AND THE PROPOSED ELEVATIONS ARE
COMPLEMENTARY TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY.
WE'VE WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH THE STAFF OVER SEVERAL MONTHS
TO COME UP WITH A PLAN WHICH WE THOUGHT ENHANCED THE
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AND MADE A MINIMAL TYPE OF IMPACT FOR
ANY OFF-SITE CONDITIONS.

SO IN TERMS OF BEING COMPATIBLE, WE'VE BEEN FOUND COMPATIBLE
WITH BOTH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE CITY STAFF.
AND WE ARE CERTAINLY COMMITTING TO MAKING ANY REVISIONS
NECESSARY BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING SHOULD COUNCIL
APPROVE THE PROJECT.
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
5:42:43PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
5:42:45PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I HAVE QUESTIONS.
5:42:46PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
AND --
5:42:48PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
I LEFT OUT THE GARAGES BEING 20 FEET BY
22.
5:42:51PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCIL MEMBER YOUNG?
5:42:55PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
WHEN I THINK OF DEVELOPMENT SUCH AS THIS IN
SINGLE-FAMILY HOME NEIGHBORHOODS, I THINK ABOUT THERE ARE
SOME -- I DO BELIEVE THERE ARE TOWNHOMES THAT ARE ON CENTRAL
AVENUE, AND I THINK THEY ARE TWO-STORY, AND THEY HAVE FRONT
PORCHES.
THEY KIND OF FIT IN WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THEY WILL LOOK LIKE EXACTLY.
BUT AS FAR AS FITTING IN WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD, IS THAT SOMETHING -- CAN I ASK THAT?
IS THAT SOMETHING YOU ARE CONSIDERING.
SINCE IT IS GOING INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS MOSTLY
SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, SO THAT IT CAN FIT IN WITH THE
CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD?

5:43:43PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
WHEN WE LOOK AT THE DEVELOPMENT, THE
ACTUAL DESIGN, COUNCIL, WE PROVIDE YOU WITH THE GENERAL
CONCEPT OF A DESIGN.
THE ACTUAL DESIGN WILL HAVE TO MEET THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS
DESIGN GUIDELINES.
AND THOSE DESIGN GUIDELINES INCLUDE PORCHES, AND THAT'S WHY
WE ALSO HAVE A SIX-FOOT SIDEWALK ON TWO SIDES.
BUT IT INCLUDES A VARIETY OF FEATURES, WHICH WE CAN'T WAIVE.
SO WE WILL HAVE SOMETHING THAT WILL BE LOOKING LIKE WHAT
YOU'RE ASKING FOR, BUT IT WILL BE DEALT WITH AT THE
PERMITTING STAGE AND NOT NORMALLY AT THE ZONING STAGE.
5:44:23PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
5:44:26PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MR. MICHELINI, ONE, THIS IS A PD.
I'M KIND OF SURPRISED THAT YOU BROUGHT THE PROJECT IN THIS
FASHION WITH THE GARAGE SIZES.
I'M SURPRISED BY THAT.
SECONDLY, I'M GLAD COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG BROUGHT IT UP.
THIS PROJECT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I MADE AN EFFORT TO
GET TO THIS MEETING TONIGHT TO PARTICIPATE.
WE PASS A PD, YOU'RE BRINGING US DESIGNS.
IF THE INTENT OF THIS PD WAS TO HAVE FRONT PORCHES AND
SOMETHING THAT BLENDED WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT'S WHAT I
WOULD HAVE EXPECTED TO SEE TONIGHT, NOT THESE BOXES WITH NO
PORCHES, NO ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS, JUST A SQUARE BOX.

AGAIN, TRYING TO PUT TOO MUCH ON TOO LITTLE.
WHAT IS YOUR INTENTION OF SHOWING THIS COUNCIL THE FINAL
DESIGNS SO THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY APPROVE?
5:45:24PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
WE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK TO YOU WITH
DESIGNS INCLUDING IF YOU WANTED MORE DETAIL ON THE ACTUAL
LAYOUT.
CERTAINLY, I'M NOT OPPOSED TO COMING BACK WITH A MORE
DETAILED DESIGN, IF THAT'S YOUR WISHES.
5:45:40PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
YEAH, MY QUESTION WOULD BE, DID YOU LOOK
-- I SEE YOU HAVE THESE SPACES FOR THE VISITORS.
DID YOU ENTERTAIN REQUESTING A WAIVER TO REDUCE THE VISITOR
SPOTS TO BE ABLE TO WIDEN THESE OUT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE
BIGGER GARAGES OR BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE
CREATIVE TO CONFIRM WITH WHAT YOU KNOW IS A DESIRE FROM
COUNCIL?
5:46:02PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
WE HAVE ADDITIONAL GREENSPACE THERE WHICH
WOULD NOT REQUIRE US TO WAIVE THE VISITOR SPACES.
SO WE COULD CONSIDER WIDENING THE UNITS TO PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL WIDTH FOR GARAGES AND TO CLARIFY THE ISSUE
REGARDING PORCHES IN THE FRONT.
5:46:20PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WHAT I'M SEEING HERE IS SOMETHING THAT --
I KIND OF AGREE WITH WHAT COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK SAID EARLIER
IN THE HEARING, MR. MICHELINI, IS THAT THE CURRENT BUILT-OUT
ENVIRONMENT, GENERALLY WHAT THE COUNCIL LOOKS AT IS WHAT THE
BUILT OUT ENVIRONMENT LOOKS LIKE TODAY.

THE THEORETICAL ASPECT OF THIS IS KIND OF INCONSISTENT WITH
WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST.
EVEN THOUGH THAT PROPERTY BETWEEN NEBRASKA AND THAT STREET
IS ZONED THAT COULD PROVIDE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF INTENSITY,
RIGHT NOW IT IS SINGLE-FAMILY.
I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.
GENERALLY, THAT'S ONE OF MY LEAST CONCERNS.
MY CONCERNS, AGAIN, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS.
IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT JUST APPEARS TO ME THAT YOU'RE PUTTING A SMALLER -- OR
THESE UNITS, TRYING TO SQUEEZE TOO MUCH ON TOO LITTLE.
5:47:13PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
IF THE COUNCIL WOULD ENTERTAIN A REQUEST
TO CONTINUE THIS SO WE CAN COME BACK WITH BETTER DETAILS, I
WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT WE CONTINUE THIS HEARING.
5:47:27PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
GENERALLY SPEAKING, THAT IS NOT PART OF
COUNCIL'S RULES, BUT I WILL ENTERTAIN --
5:47:33PM >>LUIS VIERA:
I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO A CONTINUANCE.
IF THERE ARE CHANGES THAT SEEK TO ADDRESS COUNCIL'S APPARENT
CONCERNS, I THINK THAT'S REASONABLE.
MAYBE NOT.
WE HAVE TO HEAR FROM THE FOLKS HERE ABOUT IT.
I'M FINE WITH IT.
5:47:52PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPENS IS IF
WE'RE WITHIN 30 DAYS OF A HEARING, WE CANNOT MAKE CHANGES TO
THE SITE PLAN AND GIVE YOU ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

WE COULD DO THAT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING IF IT WAS
APPROVED ON FIRST READING.
BUT I THINK THE CHANGES AND THE STAFF WILL PROBABLY TELL YOU
THIS, THE CHANGES ARE SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH IT WOULD HAVE TO GO
BACK FOR STAFF REVIEW.
THEY CAN CONFIRM THAT.
5:48:17PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I DON'T THINK THAT'S NECESSARY.
DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY WANT TO ENTERTAIN?
THIS GOES AGAINST COUNCIL'S RULES.
YES, MR. SHELBY.
5:48:28PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
IF WE COULD HAVE STAFF ANSWER THAT QUESTION
WITH REGARD TO WHAT IT WOULD TAKE, IN TERMS OF SUBSTANTIAL
CHANGES TO A SITE PLAN.
5:48:39PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE, DEVELOPMENT
COORDINATION.
LOOKING AT OUR CALENDAR AND OUR SCHEDULE HERE, WE WOULD BE
LOOKING AT HAVING HIM BRING HIS REVISED PLAN TO DRC.
SO WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT JANUARY 20th OR 21st, AND HE
WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THAT PLAN SUBMITTED BY JANUARY 6 TO US IN
ORDER TO GET HIM SCHEDULED.
THAT PUTS HIM OUT TO APRIL 9 FOR A TENTATIVE PUBLIC HEARING.
5:49:13PM >>LUIS VIERA:
I KNOW IT REQUIRES A WAIVER OF THE RULES,
AGAIN, I'M FINE WITH IT.
I'D MAKE A MOTION, IF I MAY, AND SEE WHAT COUNCIL THINKS.
5:49:19PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
ONE THING I MIGHT WANT TO MENTION TO

COUNCIL, NO ONE CONTACTED US REGARDING ANY CONCERNS
REGARDING THIS.
APPARENTLY THERE ARE CONCERNS.
IT WOULD ALSO GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THE
NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION TO DISCUSS THE SITE PLANS.
5:49:35PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN VIERA.
IS THERE ANY SECOND?
TO CONTINUE THIS.
5:49:45PM >>LUIS VIERA:
I GUESS IT WOULD BE APRIL.
5:49:46PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
APRIL 9.
5:49:48PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
I'LL SECOND THAT.
5:49:50PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY COMMENT ON THAT?
5:49:52PM >>BILL CARLSON:
ARE WE GOING TO TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT AS TO
THE CONTINUANCE?
5:49:56PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES, WE CAN.
I'M JUST GOING TO SAY NO BECAUSE WE'RE OPENING A REALLY
NASTY CAN OF WORMS.
WE HAVE A RULE THAT SAYS ONCE YOU OPEN A HEARING, YOU CAN'T
ASK FOR A CONTINUANCE.
SO IF WE DO THIS ALL NIGHT TONIGHT -- IT SOUNDS LIKE WE HAVE
QUITE A FEW PEOPLE HERE WHO WANT TO SPEAK ON THIS.
I'M NOT INCLINED TO GIVE IT A CONTINUANCE.
BUT IT IS UP TO THE REST OF YOU.
5:50:19PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
COUNCIL, IF I COULD, WE ARE NOT ALWAYS --
5:50:25PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
RIGHT NOW COUNCIL IS DEBATING AMONGST

OURSELVES.
DO I HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENT ABOUT THIS BEFORE WE MAKE A
VOTE?
YES, THERE WAS A SECOND.
WE HAVE A RULE ON COUNCIL, WE HAVE CREATED RULES FOR
OURSELVES.
AND THE RULE IS THAT ONCE YOU START A HEARING, YOU ARE NOT
ALLOWED TO HAVE A CONTINUANCE.
5:50:50PM >>BILL CARLSON:
YOU SAID THAT WE WERE GOING TO HEAR PUBLIC
COMMENT AS TO THE CONTINUANCE BEFORE YOU VOTED.
5:50:55PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
COUNCIL'S PLEASURE.
CERTAINLY, IF COUNCIL WISHES TO HEAR WHETHER PEOPLE WANT TO
SAY -- FIRST OF ALL, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HERE
TO SPEAK TO THIS PARTICULAR ITEM, BUT THE QUESTION IS, MR.
MICHELINI, DID YOU WANT TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE
PUBLIC TO -- DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A FULL THREE MINUTES, BUT
WHETHER OR NOT YOU AGREE TO A CONTINUANCE OR NOT.
MR. MICHELINI HAS INDICATED THAT WHAT HE INTENDS TO DO
BETWEEN NOW AND APRIL 9.
IT'S COUNCIL'S PLEASURE AS TO HOW YOU WISH TO PROCEED.
THERE IS A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE FLOOR.
5:51:31PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON WHAT WE WANT TO HAPPEN?
5:51:36PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
NOW, IF I CAN, MR. VIERA, YOUR MOTION IS TO
CONTINUE IT TO APRIL 9, 2026.
5:51:43PM >>LUIS VIERA:
YES, SIR.

5:51:45PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
THAT WOULD BE AT 5:01 P.M. AT 315 --
5:51:50PM >>LUIS VIERA:
315 EAST KENNEDY.
5:51:54PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
33602.
THAT'S THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR, MADAM CHAIR.
5:51:59PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET PUBLIC COMMENT.
PUBLIC COMMENT ON WHETHER OR NOT FOR A CONTINUANCE.
IF YOU ARE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS AND WISH TO COMMENT ON A
CONTINUANCE --
5:52:13PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
THAT IS CONTINUANCE ONLY.
5:52:15PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES, ONLY ON THE CONTINUANCE.
IF ANYBODY HERE WANTS TO SPEAK ON THE CONTINUANCE ONLY.
IF YOU ARE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS TONIGHT, COME ON UP.
LET'S HEAR FROM YOU.
5:52:27PM >> GOOD EVENING.
STEPHANIE POYNOR.
YOU KNOW WHAT, WE USED TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO CONTINUE STUFF
AFTER THEY PRESENTED AFTER PUBLIC COMMENT AND THEN EVERYBODY
WHO IS HERE HAS TO COME BACK AND DO IT AGAIN.
IT IS UNFAIR TO THE NEIGHBORHOODS.
THERE IS A REASON WHY THIS RULE IS IN PLACE.
SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN IT.
HONESTLY, WE HAVE SEEN THIS MANY, MANY TIMES.
OH, I BROUGHT SOMETHING THAT'S CRAPPY FORWARD AND NOW I'M
WILLING TO FIX IT, NOT BEFORE.
YOU DIDN'T -- HE OBVIOUSLY HASN'T MET WITH ALL THE

NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE HERE WHO ARE UNHAPPY
ABOUT THIS.
WE DO NOT NEED TO GO DOWN THE ROAD OF MAKING EXCEPTIONS TO
THE RULES.
WE DO NOT NEED TO GO DOWN THAT ROAD AGAIN.
IT IS AN UGLY, UGLY ROAD.
WE DID IT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, SO THIS WILL BE TWO TIMES
IN A ROW.
LET'S STOP IT NOW.
STOP IS IMMEDIATELY.
5:53:16PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU, NEXT.
5:53:18PM >> CARROLL ANN BENNETT.
I WAS HERE HOUR AFTER HOUR AFTER HOUR WHEN WE HAD TO ENDURE
REQUESTS FOR CONTINUANCES AT THE LAST MINUTE, AND SOMETIMES
AFTER THE PRESENTATION HAD BEEN MADE.
IT WAS JUST STAGGERING WASTE OF RESOURCES, OF CITY
RESOURCES, OF NEIGHBORHOOD RESOURCES.
IT'S EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE TO COME DOWN HERE.
IT IS A TREMENDOUS CHALLENGE.
AND TO ASK THEM TO COME BACK AGAIN, IT'S SUCH A BARRIER, AND
IT WAS SUCH A PROBLEM THAT THE CITY COUNCIL IN ITS GREAT
WISDOM, SOME OF YOU WHO WERE PART OF THE COUNCIL AT THAT
TIME, INSTITUTED RULES ABOUT CONTINUANCES.
THEY HAVE TO BE DONE A WEEK IN ADVANCE.
ALL KINDS OF RULES AND THEY WERE DONE FOR A GOOD REASON.

THE REASONS STILL EXIST.
I PLEASE URGE YOU, LET'S NOT BACKSLIDE.
THINGS ARE PREDICTABLE.
VOTE NO ON THE CONTINUANCE.
THANK YOU.
5:54:13PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.
NEXT.
5:54:17PM >> GOOD EVENING.
ELISE BATSEL, STEARNS WEAVER MILLER.
OFTEN I REPRESENT APPLICANTS COMING BEFORE YOU.
AND IN MOST OTHER JURISDICTIONS, THERE IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO
ASK FOR CONTINUANCE, PARTICULARLY IN CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE
TONIGHT WITH MR. MICHELINI'S CASE, WHERE HE WASN'T CONTACTED
BY ANY NEIGHBORS.
STAFF RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, AND HE HADN'T HEARD CONCERNS
UNTIL THAT NIGHT.
IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE ARE SIMPLE THINGS HE COULD DO TO COME
BACK THAT MIGHT ADDRESS CONCERNS.
WE OFTEN HEAR THIS WHEN WE COME TO CITY COUNCIL, AND IT'S
OFTEN FRUSTRATING FOR THE PROCESS AS WELL WHEN AN APPLICANT,
PARTICULARLY A VERY SMALL APPLICANT THAT DOESN'T HAVE A LOT
OF RESOURCES TO DO RENDERINGS AND DRAWINGS.
IT REALLY STIFLES THEIR ABILITY TO MOVE FORWARD ON AN
APPLICATION.
I WANTED TO PUT FORWARD THAT OTHER POSITION.

THANK YOU.
5:55:03PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT.
5:55:07PM >> SHAWN PATEL.
MOVING FORWARD, I CAN'T MEET APRIL 9, SO I WON'T BE HERE TO
GIVE MY OPINION ON THAT TIME OF THE ACTUAL THING.
THERE'S PROBABLY OTHER APPLICANTS -- OTHER PEOPLE LIKE THAT
THAT WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK FOR THE APRIL 9.
I SAY NO TO THE CONTINUANCE.
5:55:27PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT.
5:55:30PM >> DEBBIE ZOMERMAAND.
I WOULD AGREE WITH MANY OF THE PRIOR SPEAKERS, THAT THE
CONTINUANCE IS INAPPROPRIATE.
US AND THE PUBLIC ARE COMING BACK TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME
FOR ITEMS IN FRONT OF YOU THAT ARE REQUIRING CONTINUANCES.
WE'RE ALL VOLUNTEERS.
NONE OF US ARE GETTING PAID.
NOT ONLY CONTINUANCES, BUT DELAYS.
IT JUST MAKES IT TO WHERE IT IS LESS LIKELY THAT YOU'RE
GOING TO HAVE THE FULL NUMBER OF PEOPLE THERE TO SPEAK TO AN
ITEM THAT AREN'T LIKE, FOR INSTANCE, HERE TONIGHT.
THE APPLICANTS NEED TO BE PREPARED AND BE READY TO MOVE
FORWARD.
I WOULD REQUEST THAT YOU DENY THIS CONTINUANCE, PLEASE.

5:56:07PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ENGINES.
IF NO ONE ELSE IS STANDING UP, THIS WILL BE OUR LAST PUBLIC
SPEAKER.
OKAY, I HAVE MORE PEOPLE.
5:56:14PM >> ALAN NU EZ.
I SAY NO TO THE CONTINUANCE.
LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, WE SHARE THE SAME SENTIMENT.
WE ARE HERE.
WE MADE THE TIME TO COME DOWN.
5:00, RUSH HOUR.
AS AN EDUCATED ARCHITECT, IF I SHOWED UP TO A JURY
PRESENTATION NOT PREPARED, I WOULD GET CRUSHED.
NO TO THE CONTINUANCE.
5:56:36PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT.
5:56:40PM >> THOMAS MAIOLO.
I LIVE AT 905 EAST CARACAS, THE CORNER OF 9th AND CARACAS.
IT IS ONE OF THE CG MENTIONED HOMES THAT I LIVED IN FOR OVER
20 YEARS.
I AM NOT MOVING.
I AM NOT SELLING MY PROPERTY.
PEOPLE ASK ME EVERY DAY ON THE PHONE IF I'M SELLING.
I'M NOT SELLING MY PROPERTY.
5:56:58PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THIS IS TO THE CONTINUANCE ONLY.

5:57:02PM >> NO TO THE CONTINUANCE AT THIS POINT.
5:57:04PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
REMEMBER, WE ARE TALKING ONLY ABOUT THE
CONTINUANCE.
5:57:07PM >> MY NAME IS LANCE ACKERMAN.
I DO LIVE ON THE -- ONE OF THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY SITES ON
THE WEST SIDE THAT WAS DISCUSSED.
ON THE CONTINUANCE, I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY ARE LOOKING FOR
THE CONTINUANCE, TO CHANGE SOMETHING OR THIS.
BUT THAT STILL DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT WE'RE DOING A
CONTINUANCE.
WE HAVE TO BRING US BACK HERE AGAIN.
WE ALL TOOK OFF OF WORK.
THAT STILL DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT THAT -- THAT THERE
ARE ROADS OF ELLICOTT AND THAT OUT ROAD COMES WITHIN LESS
THAN A HALF BLOCK.
YOU'VE GOT CARS TURNING IN THERE, WHICH DOESN'T CHANGE THE
REASON FOR THE CONTINUANCE OF CHANGING WHAT THE TOWNHOME
LOOKS LIKE.
5:57:47PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT, AND THIS WILL BE OUR LAST SPEAKER TO THE CONTINUANCE,
UNLESS I SEE ANYONE ELSE.
5:57:54PM >> I'M KIM NOONAN.
I LIVE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS PROPOSED
DEVELOPMENT, AND I VOTE NO FOR THE CONTINUANCE.
ALSO, NONE OF US WERE DIRECTLY REACHED FOR ANY DISCUSSION OF

THIS.
ALL WE GOT WAS THE FORMALITY OF THE HEARING.
NOTHING WAS SAID LET'S MEET, LET'S WORK TOGETHER, SO NO.
NO CONTINUANCE.
5:58:19PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYONE ELSE?
OKAY.
COUNCIL --
5:58:25PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
COUNCIL, MAY I ADDRESS YOU FOR A SECOND?
5:58:30PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.
5:58:31PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, YOU INSTITUTED TWO
NOTICES, ONE A NOTICE OF FILING.
THE INTENT WAS TO ALLOW HOMEOWNERS AND HOMEOWNER
ASSOCIATIONS TO CONTACT THE APPLICANT, WHOEVER IT WAS.
OBVIOUSLY, THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN BECAUSE WE DIDN'T RECEIVE ONE
CALL, NOT ONE, REGARDING THIS PROJECT OR ANY CONCERNS
RELATED TO IT.
SO THE FIRST TIME THAT WE HEAR ABOUT CONCERNS IS TONIGHT.
I THINK AS A MATTER OF DUE PROCESS AND FAIRNESS, WE NEED AN
OPPORTUNITY, AND THEY MAY COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION THAT
THEY DON'T LIKE IT.
BUT WE CERTAINLY DESERVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THEIR
CONCERNS, WHICH WE'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE.
AND THE STAFF, BOTH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE CITY
STAFF FOUND IT CONSISTENT.

HERE WE COME IN HERE AND IT IS NOT A MATTER OF NOT BEING
PREPARED.
WE ARE PREPARED.
WE ARE PREPARED TO GO WITH OUR RECOMMENDATION AND FOLLOW
WHAT THEY REVIEWED THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO THEM.
SO WHEN WE COME DOWN HERE -- I FEEL FOR THE NEIGHBORS THAT
CAME DOWN TO TALK, BUT THEY HAD A CERTAIN OBLIGATION, AND
THE COUNCIL PUT THAT OBLIGATION ON THE HOMEOWNER
ASSOCIATIONS AND ON THE NEIGHBORS.
AND THEY SAID, OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO DO TWO NOTICES, WHICH IS
AN EXTRAORDINARY MEASURE TO BEGIN WITH.
WE'LL POST THE SIGNS UP THERE SO YOU HAVE A CONTACT PHONE
NUMBER.
YOU HAVE A SCAN THAT YOU CAN GO AND SCAN TO SEE WHAT THE
PROJECT LOOKED LIKE.
NO ONE TOOK ANY ADVANTAGE OF THAT.
I'M JUST SAYING, AS A MATTER OF FAIRNESS, WE WOULD
APPRECIATE -- I KNOW THE COUNCIL RULES ABOUT ONCE YOU START
A PRESENTATION, I'M AWARE OF IT.
I'M JUST SAYING THERE ARE EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES HERE
THAT WE DESERVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THE PLAN AND MEET
WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
6:00:15PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU, MR. MICHELINI.
YES, MR. SHELBY.
6:00:18PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY.

COUNCIL, AND THANK YOU, MR. MIRANDA, FOR BRINGING INTO THE
RECORD THE LETTER THAT YOU HAD RECEIVED REGARDING
NEIGHBORHOODS GETTING NOTICE ABOUT THIS.
I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOME INVESTIGATION THIS MORNING.
IT'S COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT I BELIEVE THAT EVEN THOUGH
THIS IS LEGALLY NOT A MISNOTICE, THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A LACK
OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PERHAPS -- I'M SPECULATING TO KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED, BUT WITH THE INFORMATION PROVIDED TO
THE APPLICANT TO SEND OUT NOTICE AND THE ACTUAL
NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WERE AFFECTED.
6:00:59PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WELL, I LOOKED AT THAT NOTICE LIST, AND THERE
WERE TWO FOR THE ACTUAL NEIGHBORHOOD ITSELF.
MY QUESTION TO MR. MICHELINI IS, DID YOU REACH OUT TO THIS
NEIGHBORHOOD?
DID YOU CALL THE PRESIDENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD?
DID YOU REACH OUT TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD
ASSOCIATION?
IT IS A VERY ACTIVE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
6:01:16PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
NO, I UNDERSTAND THAT.
THERE IS A SERVICE THAT WE HIRE THAT'S PART OF THE
ENGINEERING SERVICE.
I DIDN'T PERSONALLY.
6:01:23PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THAT'S MY QUESTION.
DID YOU PERSONALLY?
6:01:26PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
I DIDN'T PERSONALLY.

BUT THE OBLIGATION RESTS ON TWO SIDES, NOT JUST ONE.
6:01:30PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
IF I CAN --
[ LAUGHTER ]
[ SOUNDING GAVEL ]
6:01:35PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
NO.
6:01:38PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
MADAM CHAIR, IF I CAN, ALSO, I SHOULD POINT
OUT THAT YOUR CODE AS PRESENTLY WRITTEN DOES NOT REQUIRE
THAT.
IT IS NOT A REQUIREMENT OF YOUR CODE.
IF IT'S COUNCIL'S PLEASURE TO MAKE THAT A REQUIREMENT, THEN
THAT HAS TO BE PLACED INTO THE CODE, BUT IT IS NOT A BASIS
FOR A DECISION IN THIS CASE.
6:01:56PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YOU ARE CORRECT.
IT IS NOT.
I JUST SIMPLY ASKED A QUESTION.
WE HAVE A VOTE IN FRONT OF US.
WE'LL GO AHEAD AND DO A ROLL CALL VOTE FOR THIS.
WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA TO CONTINUE IT TO
APRIL 9.
WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO.
ROLL CALL VOTE, PLEASE.
6:02:17PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
THE LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS ARE IF YOU VOTE TO
CONTINUE THIS, THEN IT WOULD BE A CONTINUED FIRST READING
AND PUBLIC HEARING.
IT WOULD COME BACK ON APRIL 9.

MR. MICHELINI HAS MADE REPRESENTATIONS OF WHAT HE WOULD
ACCOMPLISH BETWEEN NOW AND THEN.
YOU WOULD NOT NEED TO TAKE ANY FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENT.
MR. MICHELINI, AS OF NOW AS WE SPEAK HAS AGREED TO MEET WITH
THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
HE HAS NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE ENTIRE TESTIMONY
TONIGHT OF THE COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IN ORDER TO
MAKE A DECISION.
SO IF IT IS CONTINUED, IT WILL COME BACK AND WHATEVER
CHANGES MR. MICHELINI CHOOSES TO MAKE WOULD HAVE TO GO
THROUGH THE DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE AS MR. DEMANCHE HAS
STATED.
IF THE MOTION TO CONTINUE FAILS, THEN MY RECOMMENDATION
WOULD BE THAT YOU CONTINUE WITH THIS HEARING.
YOU CONTINUE TO TAKE THE FULL TESTIMONY OF ALL THE
COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT EXISTS FOR TONIGHT IN
THE RECORD, AND THEN COME TO A DECISION AT THE POINT THAT
YOU CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AFTER REBUTTAL OF WHAT IT IS
COUNCIL WISHES TO DO WITH REGARD TO THIS PARTICULAR
PETITION.

IF WE COULD, MS. WELLS, I DON'T KNOW
WHETHER YOU WANT TO STATE IT OR MR. DEMANCHE FROM STAFF,
WHAT CONSTITUTES A WITHDRAWAL AND WHAT IS THE EFFECT,
PLEASE.
6:05:50PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
WITHDRAWING WOULD BE PULLING IT FROM THE FURTHER REVIEW
CONSIDERATION BY COUNCIL.

6:05:56PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
WHAT WOULD THAT MEAN TO AN APPLICANT
WANTING TO GO -- GO AHEAD.
6:06:02PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
THEY WOULD HAVE TO WAIT A YEAR
BEFORE COMING BACK.
6:06:05PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
UNLESS THERE WAS A SUBSTANTIAL DEVIATION TO
ADDRESS THE CONCERNS OF CITY COUNCIL.
OKAY, NO.
6:06:15PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, WITHDRAWING IS JUST
TAKING IT AND IT'S GONE.
6:06:20PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REFILED.
6:06:23PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
YES.
THEY ARE PULLING FROM THE PROCESS.
IF THEY WERE DENIED, THEN THERE WOULD BE A PERIOD.
6:06:33PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
MR. MICHELINI, IT LOOKED LIKE YOU WANTED TO
ADD SOMETHING OR SAY SOMETHING.
6:06:38PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
WE WISH TO WITHDRAW THE PETITION SO IT IS
NO LONGER BEFORE COUNCIL.

IT'S NO LONGER HERE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER 5.
YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M GOING TO GIVE A MINUTE FOR COUNCIL
CHAMBERS TO CLEAR.
JUST ONE MINUTE.
DON'T GO ANYWHERE.
WE'RE NOT TAKING FIVE.
WE'RE TAKING ONE.
I'M JUST LETTING THESE PEOPLE LEAVE.
OKAY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER 5.
6:08:09PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
GOOD EVENING.
STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 5 IS REZ 25-88, REQUEST TO REZONE 2316
WEST NORTH B STREET FROM RM 16 TO PD FOR RESIDENTIAL
SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI DETACHED USES.
WE'LL START WITH AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND THE
SURROUNDING AREA.
YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN RED.
ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF NORTH B STREET.
THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA OF THE SUBJECT
SITE IS A MIX OF RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES.
NORTH, WEST, AND EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE IS COMPRISED OF
RESIDENTIAL USES.
SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE IS COMMERCIAL AND THEN THIS PD,
WHICH IS A RESIDENTIAL, AND WEST OF THE SITE IS RESIDENTIAL.
THERE ARE SEVERAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AREA,
INCLUDING ONE WEST OF THE SITE RECENTLY APPROVED WITH
RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY, SEMI DETACHED USES.
AND THERE ARE A FEW IN THE GENERAL AREA.
THAT ONE IS HERE.
THERE IS ONE HERE THAT WAS APPROVED FOR RESIDENTIAL OFFICE
USES, AND THEN THIS ONE, WHICH IS THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
WHICH WAS APPROVED FOR MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL CONDO USE.

NEXT I'LL SHOW YOU THE SITE PLAN.
HERE IS THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.
THE APPLICANT PROPOSES ONE BUILDING COMPRISED OF TWO UNITS.
FRONT DOOR ORIENTATION IS TOWARDS NORTH B STREET WITH FRONT
PORCHES AND INTERNAL SIDEWALK CONNECTIONS TO THE EXISTING
SIX FOOT SIDEWALK.
EACH UNIT PROPOSES A TWO CAR GARAGE WITH ACCESS FROM THE
15-FOOT PLATTED ALLEY TO THE REAR.
THE SITE IS IN THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY AND MUST COMPLY WITH
REGULATIONS AT THE TIME OF PERMITTING.
THE FUTURE LAND USE IS R-20 WHICH ALLOWS FOR UP TO 18
DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE BY RIGHT OR 20 DWELLING UNITS PER
ACRE WITH BONUS PROVISIONS MET.
GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE SUBJECT PARCEL, A MAXIMUM OF ONE UNIT
CAN BE DEVELOPED BY RIGHT AND TWO UNITS WITH BONUS
PROVISIONS.
THE DEVELOPER IS PROPOSING A BONUS PROVISION THEREBY
PERMITTING THE CONSTRUCTION OF TWO UNITS.
NEXT I'LL SHOW THE ELEVATIONS.
HERE YOU CAN SEE THE SOUTH, NORTH, WEST, AND EAST ELEVATION.
ALSO SHOW SOME PHOTOS.
THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE.
THIS IS LOOKING SOUTHWEST INTERNAL TO THE SITE.
THIS IS NORTH LOOKING ACROSS NORTH B STREET.
THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH FROM INTERNAL TO THE SITE, AND THAT'S

THE MULTIFAMILY CONDO UNIT.
THIS IS THAT NEWER DEVELOPMENT WEST OF THE SITE.
THIS IS NORTHWEST.
LOOKING WEST DOWN NORTH B STREET, AND THEN LOOKING EAST DOWN
NORTH B STREET.
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE
APPLICATION AND FIND THE REQUEST TO BE CONSISTENT WITH LAND
DEVELOPMENT CODE.
THERE ARE NO WAIVERS AS PART OF THIS REQUEST.
IF CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THE APPLICATION, THE MODIFICATIONS
TO THE SITE PLAN AS SHOWN ON THE SUBMITTED REVISION SHEET
MUST BE COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READINGS.
I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
6:12:10PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY QUESTIONS?
PLANNING COMMISSION, PLEASE.
6:12:23PM >>QUINN STEELE:
QUINN STEELE, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
THE SITE IS WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT,
NORTH HYDE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE WEST TAMPA URBAN
VILLAGE.
ALSO LOCATED WITHIN EVACUATION ZONE C.
SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN PURPLE AND DESIGNATED RESIDENTIAL
20 ALSO ALONG THIS PORTION OF NORTH B STREET.
ALSO WITHIN TWO TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDORS, NORTH HOWARD AND
NORTH ARMENIA, WHICH ARE BOTH DESIGNATED TRANSIT EMPHASIS
CORRIDORS WITH MULTIFAMILY AND COMMERCIAL USES.

THE REQUEST WOULD ALLOW FOR A DUPLEX ON UNDERUTILIZED SITE
CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE R-20
DESIGNATION.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REVIEWED THE APPLICATION AND FOUND
IT PROVIDES COMPATIBLE INFILL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN AN URBAN
VILLAGE NEAR TRANSIT AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES CONSISTENT WITH
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
BOTH HOMES ARE ORIENTED TOWARDS NORTH B STREET, PROVIDE A
PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION TO THE SIDEWALK AND LOAD FROM THE
ALLEY.
OVERALL, THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LONG-RANGE
DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ENVISIONED UNDER THE R-20 DESIGNATION
AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
6:13:22PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY QUESTIONS?
APPLICANT?
6:13:27PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
SEEMS LIKE I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE.
THIS IS ADJACENT --
6:13:36PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
START WITH YOUR NAME.
6:13:37PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
STEVE MICHELINI, REPRESENTING THE
PETITIONER.
THIS PROJECT IS ONE OF SEVERAL THAT ARE TOWN HOUSE PROJECTS
TO THE WEST OF THIS AND THE STAFF HAS POINTED OUT TO YOU

THAT THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF A DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM BETWEEN
TWO TRANSIT CORRIDORS -- HOWARD AND ARMENIA.
I HAVE SOME PICTURES HERE I WANT TO SHOW YOU THAT BASICALLY
OUTLINE WHAT THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES LOOK LIKE.
6:14:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THERE YOU GO.
6:14:19PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
SUBJECT PROPERTY IS OVER HERE.
YOU SEE THE INTENSITY HERE, OFFICES, DOWN HERE, YOU HAVE AN
EIGHT-UNIT APARTMENT BUILDING.
WITHIN THE AREA, I'VE OUTLINED IN PURPLE, EVERYTHING YOU SEE
IN PURPLE IS EITHER MULTIFAMILY, MEDICAL OFFICE, OFFICE, AND
THE SUBJECT SITE IS HERE.
AND THERE ARE ONLY THREE PROPERTIES ON NORTH B STREET THAT
ARE NOT -- THEY STILL HAVE THE SAME LAND USE DESIGNATION OF
R-20.
BUT THIS ENTIRE BLOCK IS EITHER COMMERCIAL, IS MEDICAL,
OFFICE, OR APARTMENT BUILDINGS.
BOTH UNITS HAVE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS TO THE FRONT DOORS
WITH PORCHES, ALLEY ACCESS.
THE GARAGES ARE PROVIDED.
THERE ARE NO WAIVERS BEING REQUESTED.
THE GREENSPACE, IT MEETS THE GREENSPACE REQUIREMENT.
THE CITY AND THE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAVE FOUND
IT TO BE CONSISTENT.
I GOT A LETTER THAT SAID --
[CELL PHONE]

-- THIS WAS DETERIORATION OF A SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPED BLOCK
PATTERN.
IT SIMPLY ISN'T.
THE BLOCK PATTERN IS ALREADY COMMERCIAL, AS I SAID,
RESIDENTIAL, MULTIFAMILY, OR IT'S MEDICAL OFFICE OR OTHER
APARTMENTS.
THERE IS A TEN UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX THAT SAYS IT'S LESS
THAN TEN UNITS.
IT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT, COUPLE OF LOTS DOWN TO THE WEST.
I'M SORRY, TO THE EAST.
THERE WAS A QUESTION RAISED REGARDING PARKING, TRAFFIC, AND
SAFETY CONCERNS.
THIS IS ACCESS OFF THE ALLEY.
AND THERE IS PLENTY -- WHAT WAS THAT?
6:16:20PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THAT WAS ME.
[ LAUGHTER ]
6:16:26PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
AMPLE ROOM FOR STACKING OF VISITOR
PARKING IN THE BACK BEHIND THE GARAGES.
I'LL SHOW YOU A SITE PLAN, WHICH YOU'LL SEE HAS -- MOVE THIS
UP.
THAT'S 18 FEET BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THE ALLEY AND THE BACK OF
THE GARAGES.
22 FEET IN DEPTH OF THE GARAGES AND 19 SIX ON THE WIDTH.
AGAIN, WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY WAIVERS, SO WE MEET ALL OF
THE LANDSCAPE CODES.

WE'VE BEEN FOUND TO BE CONSISTENT BY BOTH THE PLANNING
COMMISSION AND THE CITY STAFF.
THE REQUEST TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL HOUSING IN THE NORTH HYDE
PARK AREA, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DIRECTS THE GREATEST SHARE OF
GROWTH IN THE URBAN VILLAGE.
PART OF THE URBAN VILLAGE.
IT'S ALSO ON THAT BICYCLE PATH THAT WE MAY HAVE TALKED ABOUT
THAT A FEW MONTHS AGO.
IT IS JUST SOUTH OF JCC.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECOGNIZES THE ROLE OF ALLEYS AND
DEFINING THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE PROPOSED
SITE PLAN SHOWS VEHICULAR ACCESS FROM THE ALLEY, WHICH WE
ARE CONSISTENT WITH THAT.
THE REST OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT SAYS IN
CONCLUSION, THE PROPOSED PD IS CONSISTENT WITH THE OVERALL
POLICIES, DIRECTION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE REQUEST
IS CONSISTENT WITH DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ANTICIPATED UNDER
R-20.
THE DESIGNATION IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE
SURROUNDING AREA BASED ON THE CONSIDERATIONS, PLANNING
COMMISSION STAFF FINDS THE PROPOSED PLAN DEVELOPMENT
CONSISTENT WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO PROVIDE ZONING DISTRICTS THAT
RECOGNIZE UNIQUE CONDITIONS, THAT ALLOW DESIGN FLEXIBILITY
AND PROMOTE PLANNED DIVERSIFICATION AND INTEGRATION OF USES

AND STRUCTURES.
WE CHECKED ALL THE BOXES REGARDING THAT.
WITH ZONING DISTRICTS, IT CANNOT BE ACCOMMODATED.
YOU MAY RECALL THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE A LITTLE SMALLER
UNIT WHICH MAKES THOSE UNITS MORE AFFORDABLE AS OPPOSED TO
THE LARGER UNITS WHICH ARE FAR MORE EXPENSIVE.
PROMOTE THE EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF THE LAND AND
THE INFRASTRUCTURE.
ALREADY CONNECTING TO EXISTING WATER AND SEWER SYSTEMS.
IN THE EVENT ANY OF THEM ARE FOUND TO BE INSUFFICIENT, WE
WILL HAVE TO UPGRADE BOTH THE WATER AND SEWER CONNECTIONS.
THE PROPOSED -- APPLICANT PROPOSED TO MEET THE NATURAL
RESOURCES CODE AT THE TIME OF PERMITTING.
AGAIN, WE'VE MET THAT REQUIREMENT AND PROVIDED THE NECESSARY
GREENSPACE.
WE'RE NOT TRYING TO PUT TOO MUCH INTO TOO SMALL AN AREA.
WE DESIGNED THIS AROUND THE FACT THAT IT'S CODE COMPLIANT.
ENCOURAGE THE FLEXIBLE USE OF LAND DEVELOPMENT, THE SITE IS
PROPOSED TO PROVIDE GREENSPACE, 709 SQUARE FEET AS REQUIRED,
594 SQUARE FEET.
WE'RE 200 SQUARE FEET ABOVE WHAT'S REQUIRED.
THE SITE IS DESIGNED WITH A FRONT YARD SETBACK AND PRESERVES
EXISTING TREE LOCATIONS LOCATED NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE
AND THE SETBACK PROVIDES, ALLOWS FOR ADEQUATE USE OF TREE
PROTECTION AND THE TREE RADIUSES FOR EXISTING TREES.

PROMOTE AND ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT WHERE APPROPRIATE IN
LOCATION, CHARACTER, COMPATIBILITY, AND SURROUNDING IMPACTED
NEIGHBORHOODS.
AS I POINTED OUT TO YOU WHEN I SHOWED YOU THE MAP, THAT THIS
IS IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO TWO OTHER TOWN HOUSE PROJECTS ON
THE ONE SIDE, COMMERCIAL OFFICE ON THE END, WHICH IS DOWN
HERE.
THE COMMERCIAL OFFICE HERE, TOWN HOUSE PROJECT HERE.
ANOTHER TOWN HOUSE PROJECT WHICH WAS APPROVED HERE.
DOWN HERE IS WHERE -- I'M SORRY.
APARTMENT BUILDINGS DOWN ON THE OTHER END, AND ALL OF THIS
OFFICE STUFF DOWN HERE.
AND THIS IS THE PARKING FOR THAT.
ANYWAY, THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IS CLEARLY -- IT'S ALREADY
BEEN ESTABLISHED TO BE TOWN HOUSE-STYLE PROJECTS.
PROMOTE THE MORE DESIRABLE LIVING AND WORKING CONDITIONS,
THIS IS BETWEEN TWO TRANSIT CORRIDORS WHICH PROVIDES BUS
SERVICE ON BOTH SIDES, NORTH, SOUTH, AND NORTH AND SOUTH AS
WELL AS IT'S ONLY A COUPLE OF BLOCKS NORTH OF KENNEDY
BOULEVARD.
PROMOTE THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES AND ELEMENTS WHICH
COMPLEMENT THE SURROUNDING AREA AND ELEVATIONS SUBMITTED OR
COMPLEMENTARY TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY.
WE HAVE MET THE CODE.
WE HAVE NOT REQUESTED FOR ANY WAIVERS OR VARIANCES.

WE HAVE EXCEEDED WHAT WAS REQUIRED BY THE CODE, AND WE'VE
BEEN FOUND TO BE CONSISTENT BY BOTH THE PLANNING COMMISSION
AND CITY STAFF.
I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
6:21:23PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I HAVE QUESTIONS.
6:21:27PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN --
6:21:46PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I DON'T THINK YOUR MICROPHONE IS ON,
CHAIRWOMAN.
6:21:49PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I'M SO SORRY.
YOU HAD A QUESTION?
6:21:51PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I UNDERSTAND.
I SAW YOUR LIPS MOVING BUT DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING.
I DIDN'T WANT TO TALK UNTIL I WAS RECOGNIZED.
MR. MICHELINI, YOU'LL BE SICK OF HEARING FROM ME FOR THE
REST OF TONIGHT.
QUESTION FOR YOU.
I KNOW YOU SAID IT DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY VARIANCES.
YOU'RE ASKING FOR A PD, SO LET'S GET THAT RIGHT.
CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE ADJOINING PROPERTIES ALREADY
DEVELOPED AND WHAT THE FRONT SETBACK OR MAYBE THAT WOULD BE
CITY STAFF MIGHT ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
I'M WONDERING WHAT THE FRONT FACADES OF THESE HOUSES ARE SET
BACK FROM THE STREET AND WHAT THE SITE SETBACKS ARE.
6:22:39PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
THE FRONT SETBACK IS 10 FEET, REAR

SETBACK IS 18 FEET.
6:22:43PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IF WE COULD SEE THAT, CCTV.
THANK YOU.
6:22:48PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
5.6 FEET ON THE SIDE YARD SETBACK AND THE
ADJACENT PARCEL HERE IS A TOWN HOUSE.
6:22:55PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
IS THAT CURRENTLY DEVELOPED OR JUST
APPROVED?
6:22:58PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
IT'S APPROVED FOR A DUPLEX.
6:23:02PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE SETBACK WAS APPROVED
FOR THAT?
6:23:06PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
NO, SIR, I DON'T RECALL.
6:23:08PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WHAT IS THE SETBACK ON THE OTHER SIDE?
WAS THAT THE EAST SIDE?
6:23:16PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
I THINK IT'S 5.6.
6:23:20PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THAT IS A SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE THAT STILL
EXISTS ON THAT SIDE.
6:23:26PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
YES, WITH A DRIVEWAY.
THE HOUSE IS NOT ADJACENT TO THE SIDE.
6:23:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
GOTCHA.
I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE DENSITY.
I WISH THE DRIVEWAY WAS JUST A FOOT LONGER SO YOU COULD
EASILY ACCOMMODATE A CAR THERE TO KEEP IT OUT OF THE
ALLEYWAY AND CLEAR.
I THINK A 19-FOOT LONG DRIVEWAY WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE
AND THEN YOU COULD JUST BASICALLY CALL THE GARAGE WHAT IT IS

AS A ONE AND A HALF CAR GARAGE.
THAT'S ALL MY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU.
6:24:01PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
ONE OF THE STRUGGLES THAT WE HAVE IS THE
CODE STILL REQUIRES THAT.
I KNOW COUNCIL TALKED ABOUT HOW TO ADJUST THAT AND HOW TO
MAKE IT MORE REASONABLE.
BUT AS YOU REQUIRE MORE PARKING, YOU'RE ALSO -- YOU'RE
CAUSING ISSUES REGARDING DENSITY AND THE SIZE OF LOTS AND
SIZE OF DEVELOPMENT.
IT'S LIKE A WATER BALLOON.
SQUEEZE ON ONE SIDE AND IT'S GOT TO COME OUT ANOTHER.
6:24:28PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MR. MICHELINI, THE FRONT, WE DIDN'T TALK
ABOUT THAT.
THE OTHER ADJACENT PROPERTIES, WHAT IS THEIR FRONT SETBACKS?
IN OTHER WORDS, IS THIS BEING DEVELOPED WITH THE SAME
SETBACK AS ADJACENT PROPERTIES?
6:24:41PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
YES, SIR.
6:24:43PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ON THE FRONT SIDE.
6:24:46PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
THIS IS IN LINE WITH THE OTHER PROPERTIES
ON NORTH B.
6:24:52PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
STAFF, CAN YOU CONFIRM THAT?
6:24:56PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
SINCE THIS IS IN THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY, THEY WOULD HAVE TO
MEET THE BLOCK AVERAGE, AND THAT WOULD BE CALCULATED AND

GIVEN TO URBAN DESIGN, AND THEY WOULD MAKE SURE THAT THEY
MEET THAT.
6:25:09PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WOULDN'T THAT HAVE HAPPENED BEFORE WE GOT
TO THIS POINT?
6:25:13PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
YES.
6:25:15PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THAT IMPLY THEY ARE IN COMPLIANCE.
6:25:17PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
URBAN DESIGN WAS FOUND CONSISTENT, YES.
6:25:20PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
VERY GOOD.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
6:25:24PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
OKAY.
IF YOU ARE HERE TO SPEAK, PLEASE COME AND LINE UP ON MY
LEFT, YOUR RIGHT.
MR. SHELBY.
6:26:52PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
THREE NAMES, IF YOU COULD ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
YOU ARE HERE TO WAIVE YOUR TIME TO GIVE HER AN EXTRA MINUTE.
ADRIAN LARAMIE.
CARROLL ANN BENNETT.
DEBBIE ZOMERMAAND.
THANK YOU.
THREE ADDITIONAL MINUTES FOR A TOTAL OF SIX.
6:27:14PM >> DOES EVERYBODY HAVE THEIR PACKET?
6:27:17PM >> YES.
6:27:18PM >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.
MY NAME IS SANDRA SANCHEZ.

I'M HERE TO ASK YOU TO DENY THIS PETITION.
I ASKED STEPHANIE TO TURN THE PAGES OF THE PRESENTATION SO
THAT ALAN CLENDENIN CAN SEE IT.
ON PAGE 1 -- AND IF YOU WILL FOLLOW WITH ME.
ON PAGE 1 IS THE IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THIS BLOCK HAS ARMENIA ON ONE SIDE AND HOWARD ON THE OTHER.
AND THOSE BUSINESSES FACE THOSE MAJOR THOROUGHFARES.
THE BLOCK IS ENTIRELY -- OR WAS ENTIRELY SINGLE-FAMILY
HOMES, OUR MISSING MIDDLE.
I WANT TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION ON PAGE 2 THE WEST TAMPA
OVERLAY.
AND THE MAIN THING THAT I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER -- I'M SORRY.
I'M NOT WELL TONIGHT.
THE MAIN THING I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER IS THAT THE WEST TAMPA
OVERLAY TAKES PRIORITY AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FIRST BEFORE
MOVING FORWARD.
ON PAGE 3, THE TOP PICTURE IS THE COMPLETED BUILDING.
ONE OF THREE, AND MAYBE FOUR THAT ARE INTENDED TO BE BUILT
ON THIS BLOCK.
FURTHER EXPLANATION WHEN WE GET TO PAGE 4.
WORKING WITH AN OVERLAY, IF A DEVELOPER WANTS TO CIRCUMVENT
THE OVERLAY, CITY STAFF ASKED THEM TO FIND COMPARABLES THAT
ARE ADJACENT TO THE LOCATION OF THE SITE.
THE SECOND PICTURE IS WHAT I THINK THEY USED AS ONE OF THE
COMPARABLES.

STAFF REMARKS IN THE ACCELA ONLY ADDRESS THE COMPARABLE AS
BEING ADJACENT.
IT GIVES NO ADDRESSES.
THERE AREN'T ANY OTHER FLAT-ROOFED MULTIFAMILY UNITS AROUND.
THESE LOOK LIKE THE OVERLAY WAS UTILIZED, BUT IT WAS NOT.
THESE BUILDINGS WERE ACTUALLY BUILT IN 2021.
THEY WERE BUILT AGAINST CITY CODE BECAUSE THEY IGNORED THE
WEST TAMPA OVERLAY, WHICH WAS IN PLACE AT THE TIME.
ALL THREE OF THOSE BUILDINGS THAT THEY USED FOR A COMPARABLE
DID NOT USE THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
WHEN YOU LOOK THESE SITES UP IN ACCELA, THERE'S NO MENTION
OF THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
BACK THEN, BACK IN 2021, WHEN I ASKED CITY STAFF ABOUT IF
THEY SAID THEY WERE SORRY THEY MISSED IT, THEY SAID THEY
WERE SORRY THAT THEY MISSED IT.
IMAGINE, MISSING THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY FOR FOUR UNITS.
NEVERTHELESS, THESE PROPERTIES SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED TO
BE COMPARABLE.
THEY WERE BUILT ILLEGALLY PER CITY CODE.
MR. MICHELINI, TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT.
MR. MICHELINI MENTIONED THE BUILDING THAT'S BEHIND.
IT'S NOT ON -- STAFF NOT ON NORTH B.
FACES NORTH A.
IT IS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL TUTTLE BUILT.
BUILT BEFORE THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY WAS IN PLACE.
I DO NOT THINK THEY SHOULD BE USED AS COMPARABLES.
ON PAGE 4 -- AND JUST TO MENTION WITH THE EXTREME CHANGES THAT
THIS DEVELOPER WAS GOING TO MAKE, THEY DID NOT GET IN TOUCH
WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE ASSUMPTION THAT A YELLOW SIGN MEANS IT IS AN INVITATION
TO CALL THE DEVELOPER IS NOT A NOTIFICATION.
THIS DEVELOPER -- BECAUSE IT IS SO DRASTIC A CHANGE SHOULD
HAVE MADE THE EFFORT TO CONTACT THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THIS IS THE BUILDING THAT THEY ARE BUILDING.
FIRST ONE, 2320 WEST NORTH B IS COMPLETED.
YOU SAW THAT ON THE PICTURE.
2318 WEST NORTH B ALREADY HAD THE REZONING APPROVED.
2316 IS WHAT WE ARE REZONING TODAY.
NEXT TO 2320 IS 209 NORTH ALBANY.
IT IS OWNED BY A NUMBER OF LCCs, BUT I NOTICED THIS DEVELOPER
UTILIZED THE PROPERTY AS IF IT WAS THEIR OWN.
THAT IS JUST AN ASSUMPTION THAT I AM MAKING, BUT A
POSSIBILITY THAT A FOURTH ONE WILL BE THERE.
PAGE 5, I DIRECT YOU TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LIVABLE CITY LAND USE GOALS TO BUILD
LIVABLE CITY THAT ENHANCES ITS UNIQUE ATTRIBUTES OF TAMPA'S
DIVERSITY, WHERE HERITAGE IS APPRECIATED AND CELEBRATED OF
DIVERSITY OF COMMUNITY, NEIGHBORS, INTERCONNECTED THROUGH
WALKING, BICYCLING AND TRANSIT THROUGH EXCELLENT URBAN
DESIGN THROUGH PUBLIC SPACES.
I ESPECIALLY POINT OUT LAND DEVELOPMENT POLICY 1.2.1A TO
PROMOTE HARMONY IN THE VISUAL RELATIONSHIP AND TRANSITION
BETWEEN NEW AND OLDER BUILDINGS.
NEW BUILDINGS DO NOT NEED TO IMITATE OLDER BUILDINGS BUT
BE SYMPATHETIC TO SCALE, PROPORTION, AND MATERIALS.
THIS CAN OFTEN BE ACCOMPLISHED BY REPEATING EXISTING
FENESTRATION AND SURFACE.
WITH THE BUILDINGS, THEY SHOULD BE SURROUNDED AND TEXTURED
TO REFLECT THE PATTERN OF THE MOOD.
OBVIOUSLY, THIS WAS NOT CONSIDERED.
I TAKE TO YOU LAND USE 1.2.23.
IT CONTINUES TO REQUIRE THAT THE SCALE OF NEW DEVELOPMENT IS
MIXED USE AND PROVIDES BUILDING HEIGHT, BULK THAT IS
ESSENTIAL TO THE VISUAL.
PAGE 6.
PAGE 6 IS A BONUS.
I JUST THREW THAT IN THERE IN CASE YOU WANT IT.
BUT I AM ASKING YOU TO DENY IT.
THIS THIRD BUILDING THAT IS THE SUBJECT RIGHT NOW DIRECTLY
CONFLICTS WITH THE CURRENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND NEITHER
STAFF FOR DEVELOPER SERIOUSLY DIRECTED IT TO THE WEST TAMPA
OVERLAY.
OTHER TWO BUILDINGS COMPLETED ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BEING
APPROVED.
NOTHING ELSE IS TO BE DONE.
I ASK TO YOU DENY THIS BECAUSE IT DID NOT FIT IN WITH THE
NEIGHBORHOOD AND DID NOT FOLLOW THE CORRECT RULES BY
ADDRESSING THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
06:33:36PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.
NEXT.
OKAY.
WE ARE ALMOST SET.
OKAY.
06:34:19PM >> GOOD EVENING.
I'M WINSTON EVERSON, NORTH HYDE PARK CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
ALSO DISTRICT 5.
VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT MISS SANCHEZ STATED.
YOU KNOW, OUR BELIEF IS THIS IS WHAT THE PURPOSE AND INTENT
OF THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
AND OUR BELIEF IS THAT THE CURRENT PROJECT DOES NOT FALL IN
LINE WITH THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE MAPS THAT WERE
UTILIZED BY MR. MICHELINI.
IT ONLY SHOWED ONE SIDE OF THE BLOCK.
IF YOU LOOK ON OTHER SIDE OF THE BLOCK, IT ACTUALLY SHOWS
ALL OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES THERE.
SO THAT IS KIND OF ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS I WANTED TO BRING
UP.
AND SIMILAR ALSO.
WE DIDN'T -- I PROMISE I DIDN'T PLAGIARIZE MISS SANCHEZ'S
PRESENTATION, BUT SIMILARLY, I USED LAND USE OBJECTIVE 1.2
ALSO WHERE YOU WANT TO KIND OF PRESERVE THE HERITAGE OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND I DID WANT TO ALSO REFERENCE THE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH
MANAGEMENT, THAT SECTION -- THIS IS THE GENTLEMAN THAT WROTE
THE LETTER.
AND THEN I KIND OF CIRCLED WHERE THAT MEMO THAT WAS PUT IN
THE APPLICATION.
IT SAYS IT IS CONSISTENT.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT IS POSSIBLE.
WHERE YOU KIND OF NOTICED WHERE EVERYTHING IS REFERENCING
THAT ONE PD THAT WAS APPROVED HERE.
SO I THINK THAT IS WHERE THEY ARE KIND OF UTILIZING THAT PD
AS -- AS THE ENTIRE THING, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, BACK WHEN I
WENT TO SCHOOL, A BLOCK AVERAGE THAT USES MORE THAN JUST
ONE.
REZONE 23-43 IS WHERE THEY ARE UTILIZING THAT AS THE ENTIRE
-- TO REP THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH I ALSO THINK IS NOT IN LINE
WITH, YOU KNOW, WEST TAMPA OVERLAY FOR AVERAGING A BLOCK.
THAT IS JUST ONE PARTICULAR STRUCTURE.
AND THEN FINALLY, JUST WANTED TO ALSO SAY THAT -- SO BASED
ON THE CURRENT NEIGHBORHOOD, THE TAMPA DEVELOPMENT AND
GROWTH MANAGEMENT ONLY REFERENCING THE ONE PD AND THE
NEIGHBORHOOD FRAMEWORK PROVIDED BY THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY
AND LAND USE POLICY 1.2.
THE NORTH HYDE PARK CIVIC ASSOCIATION URGES TO YOU VOTE NO.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION.
06:36:53PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT.
06:36:57PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR NAME FOR AN
ADDITIONAL MINUTE.
GAIL EVERSON.
THANK YOU.
FOUR MINUTES, PLEASE.
06:37:19PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
06:37:23PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WAIT IF YOU WANT -- OKAY.
06:37:45PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
I AM NICOLE ANSIS, 1513 NORTH B STREET.
I'M PRESIDENT OF THE NORTH HYDE PARK CIVIC ASSOCIATION AND
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH, AND I AM SPEAKING IN OPPOSITION TO THIS
PROPOSED REZONING TO PD.
I ALSO WANT TO ADD THAT WE DID NOT HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
MEET WITH THE DEVELOPER TO DISCUSS OUR CONCERNS.
THIS CHANGE IS -- IT IS A FUNDAMENTAL SHIFT TO THE CHARACTER
OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT THREATENS THE LIVABILITY, THE PREDICTABILITY OF OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD, AND CURRENT ZONING ALLOWS FOR HIGH DENSITY.
SWITCHING TO A PD ZONING NOT ONLY REPRESENTS THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BUT ONE PARCEL IS ZONED PD, OTHERS WILL
FOLLOW.
AND AS IS THE CASE HERE, MORE AND MORE OF THESE RESIDENCES
AND LOTS WILL BE TRANSITIONED -- KIND OF TRANSFORMING AND
DISMANTLING THE CHARACTER OF NORTH HYDE PARK.
SO WE DEEM THIS TO BE INCOMPATIBLE.
GOING TO THE HANDOUT, THIS IS THE PROPERTY NEXT TO THE PLOT
IN QUESTION.
IT IS A THREE-STORY TOWN HOUSE.
IT IS AN ANOMALY ON THE STREET.
IT IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
THERE ARE NO TREES ON THE LOT.
AND JUST TO THE RIGHT IS A ONE-STORY BUSINESS THAT THIS
DOESN'T -- THIS NOT ONLY OVERWHELMS THAT ONE BUSINESS BUT
VIEWS ON THE STREET.
MY VIEW IS DIFFERENT THAN ALL OF THE STREET.
LOOKING AT ALL OF NORTH B FROM ARMENIA ON THE WEST TO HOWARD
ON THE RIGHT.
I WILL SHOW YOU A SERIES OF PICTURES THAT SHOW THE STREET IS
FULL OF ONE-STORY BUNGALOW SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, THE
MAJORITY.
STARTING ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER, I'LL LOOP AROUND.
THE BOX IN RED IS THE CURRENT RESIDENCE.
AND THE ONE IN ORANGE NEXT TO IT IS THE ONE THEY KEEP
REFERENCING.
SO STARTING AT 2323 ON THE TOP LEFT, AS YOU WORK YOUR WAY
ACROSS, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE STREET IS FILLED WITH ONE-STORY
SINGLE-FAMILY BUNGALOWS.
THE ONE EXCEPTION IS THIS, 2313, A CRAFTSMAN TWO-STORY.
BUT IT MATCHES NICELY WITH THE REST OF THE HOMES ON THAT
STREET.
ON THE SECOND PAGE, THIS IS NOW THE SOUTH SIDE STARTING AT
2304, ONE-STORY BUNGALOW.
2308 IS A TWO-STORY LEGACY BUILDING, AND THE REMAINING THREE
BUILDINGS, 2310, 12 AND 14, SINGLE-STORY SINGLE-FAMILY
BUNGALOWS.
2313.
TREES -- THEY ARE ONLY REQUIRED TO KEEP THREE.
A SHAME.
SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED.
AND NEXT TO IT A PD, A MONSTROSITY.
IT DOESN'T BELONG IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD --
06:40:54PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
CAN YOU SLIDE IT UP, PLEASE.
06:40:56PM >> THE LAST PICTURE SHOWS THAT -- HOW OVERWHELMING IT IS
COMPARED TO THE ONE-STORY NEXT TO IT.
NOW, WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO SMART DEVELOPMENT.
WE JUST WANT IT TO BE COMPATIBLE AND COMPLEMENTARY TO THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
TWO HOMES THAT ARE ON NORTH ALBANY.
DUPLEXES.
THESE ARE RM-16s BUT COMPLEMENTARY TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THEY ARE TWO-STORIES, AND DO NOT OVERWHELMING SURROUNDING HOUSES
NEXT TO THEM.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE CONSISTENT.
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD DESERVES GROWTH THAT RESPECTS CONTEXT,
SAFETY AND HERITAGE, NOT DEVELOPER DRIVEN TO BE OBJECTIVES.
WE URGE TO YOU REJECT THIS ZONING AND STAND WITH THE
RESIDENTS OF NORTH HYDE PARK FOR THE CHARACTER AND
LIVABILITY OF OUR COMMUNITY.
THANK YOU.
06:41:51PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT.
06:41:53PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
I AM DANA GREEN.
I OWN A PARCEL ON THE BLOCK.
I'M HERE TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT.
I THINK IT IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE AREA,
AND THE PROBABLY LOOKS GREAT.
I WANT TO GIVE MY SUPPORT.
06:42:09PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT.
06:42:12PM >> GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS STEVEN GOLD.
I AM ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS.
AND I APPROVE OF 2316 NORTH B STREET PD APPROVAL.
SO -- AND I AM A NEIGHBOR.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
06:42:26PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT.
06:42:29PM >> HE OWNS THE PROPERTY NEXT DOOR.
JUST HAD A REZONING.
I AM PRETTY SURE IS HIS NAME.
YOU CAN ASK HIM.
06:42:36PM >> A NEIGHBOR.
06:42:37PM >> NEIGHBOR, YEAH, ANYWAY.
PLEASE ASK ME ABOUT THE SETBACKS ON 2320.
I AM STEPHANIE POYNOR.
I WILL BE HAPPY TO TELL YOU WHAT THEY ARE.
GOOD EVENING.
I NEED TO DISCLOSE THAT I MANAGE THE PROPERTY THAT ABUTS ON
THE EAST SIDE.
THIS BELONGS TO THE FACALSKIS, THEY ARE IN GERMANY AND THEY
ARE ON LINE TO SPEAK.
06:43:00PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
CAN I SEE IT, CCTV?
06:43:03PM >> SORRY.
DON'T COUNT MY TIME.
06:43:05PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
CCTV.
OKAY.
GO AHEAD, PLEASE.
06:43:37PM >> FLAT ROOFS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
WHY ARE WE HERE?
WHY ARE WE HERE?
IT IS NOT ABOUT THE DENSITY OF THIS PROBABLY.
IT IS ABOUT THE DESIGN.
NEXT ONE.
AND -- IN THIS DESIGN, 35 FEET STOPS HERE.
35 FEET STOPS RIGHT HERE.
WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE ABOVE IT?
OH, THEY QUOTED YOU -- AND I GAVE YOU A COPY OF IT --
27-1258.
THAT SAYS IT CAN ONLY GO FIVE FEET OVER THE 35-FOOT LIMIT.
WHAT WE DOING HERE?
AGAIN, WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?
GO AHEAD.
SO WE HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION RM-18, 35 FEET.
WE DON'T GO UP -- UNTIL WE GET TO RM-24, WE DO NOT GO TO 60
FEET.
THIS IS NOT 35 FEET.
THIS IS 35 FEET AND A DOORWAY ON TOP OF IT.
LAST I CHECKED THEY ARE EIGHT FEET TALL.
JUST ME.
NEXT.
AND THAT -- THAT PART OF THE CODE SAYS THAT THEY NEED IT FOR
ACCESS FOR EQUIPMENT.
GUESS WHAT, THE AIR CONDITIONERS ON THE SIDE OF BUILDING.
THE AIR CONDITIONERS ARE ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND
THESE PEOPLE WANT TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE ROOF TO HAVE AN
ENTERTAINMENT SPACE ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE.
GO AHEAD, CARROLL ANN.
WE ARE HERE FOR A PD BECAUSE THEY WANT TO GO OVER THE HEIGHT
AND SQUEEZE TEN POUNDS OF CRAP IN A FIVE-POUND BAG.
WE LEARNED AT THE SYNAGOGUE HEARING THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO
PUT IN A WAIVER BECAUSE YOU AUTOMATICALLY APPROVE HEIGHT
DIFFERENCE.
YOU AUTOMATICALLY APPROVE THAT.
WHY DID WE APPROVE THIS?
NOW, I WANT TO YOU SEE -- SANDY AND THIS OTHER LADY BOTH
SHOWED YOU THE HOUSE ON ARMENIA.
THIS IS BEFORE -- THIS IS GOOGLE MAPS.
THIS IS BEFORE.
SEE THE NICE TREES BEHIND IT.
THIS IS WHAT THOSE FOLKS HAVE NOW WITH 2320.
THIS HOUSE -- I HAVE VIDEO ON MY PHONE.
I AM NOT GOING TO HAVE TIME TO SHOW IT, BUT IT DOES NOT
RECEIVE FULL SUN UNTIL NOON.
I HAVE GOT VIDEO AT 11:00 IN THE MORNING.
JUST STARTING TO SUNSHINE ON THAT HOUSE.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
I WAS ON THE PLANE FOR THE LAST HEARING.
I MISSED IT.
THESE FOLKS DESERVE BETTER.
THEY DESERVE TO HAVE THEIR HOME IN THE SUNLIGHT.
AND THIS IS FROM THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY, WHICH I AM KIND OF
DISGUSTED THAT I DIDN'T HEAR MUCH OF ANYBODY TALKING ABOUT
UNTIL THE PUBLIC GOT HERE.
EFFECTS OF THE OVERLAY DESIGNATION.
YOU GUYS CAN'T CHANGE IT.
YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE REGULATIONS OF WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
THERE IS A REASON FOR IT.
WHY ARE WE EVEN HERE BESIDES SOMEONE WANTS TO BUILD ANOTHER
MONSTROSITY.
ASK THAT GENTLEMAN IF HE OWNS THE PROPERTY ABUTTING, BECAUSE
I THINK HE DOES.
WHEN WE LOOK UP ALL THE RECORDS, IT WAS THERE.
06:46:31PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO SPEAK?
OKAY.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
OKAY.
REBUTTAL, PLEASE.
06:46:45PM >> STEVE MICHELINI.
YOU KNOW, DESIGN IS NOT PART OF THIS REQUEST.
THAT IS HANDLED BY THE URBAN DESIGN SECTION OF THE CITY.
AS THE STAFF ALREADY TOLD YOU, WHAT WE PRESENTED TO THEM WAS
FOUND TO BE CONSISTENT.
WE ALSO HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE CONSISTENT BY THE PLANNING
COMMISSION AND ALL OF THE OTHER REVIEWING AGENCIES FOR THE
CITY.
THE REASON THAT WE HAVE A REQUEST FOR A PD HERE IS BECAUSE
HAVING TWO UNITS REQUIRES A BONUS AGREEMENT, WHICH WE HAVE
TO REQUEST.
THERE ARE NO WAIVERS.
SO THERE ARE NO HEIGHT WAIVER.
WE ARE NOT TRYING -- SAYS VERY CLEARLY ON THE SITE PLAN, 35
FEET.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT THEY ARE PROPOSING ON
THE TOP, BUT WHATEVER IT IS, THE ROOF -- THE ROOF HEIGHT IS
CLEARLY IDENTIFIED AS 35 FEET.
I KNOW THIS QUESTION HAS COME UP BEFORE IS WHERE ARE YOU
GOING TO STORE THE GARBAGE.
GARBAGE CONTAINERS ARE SHOWN INSIDE.
INSIDE THE GARAGE HERE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE I CAN TELL YOU.
WE MEET THE CODE.
WE HAVE NO WAIVERS.
THE DESIGN IS NOT CONTROLLED BY ZONING.
IT IS CONTROLLED BY THE URBAN DESIGN SECTION.
AND WE HAVE TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH AND APPROVED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE WEST TAMPA OVERLY.
NO WAY TO WAIVE IT.
IT IS A RIGHT.
SO -- AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE USE HERE NOT THE DESIGN.
AND I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, THOSE WHO SPOKE FOCUSED ON DESIGN
THAT WAS A PROBLEM.
THEY DIDN'T LIKE THAT.
THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE BEFORE COUNCIL.
THE ISSUE IS, IF THIS IS A COMPATIBLE USE.
DOES IT MEET THE CODE, WHICH STAFF HAS TOLD YOU IT DOES.
AND IS IT -- YOU KNOW, IS IT CONSISTENT WITH EVERYTHING THAT
YOU WANTED.
I SHOWED YOU THE PICTURES.
I DIDN'T MAKE THEM UP.
I TOOK THEM RIGHT OFF OF THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S WEB PAGE.
AND I ALSO IDENTIFIED THE USES THAT ARE THERE.
EVERY ONE OF THESE USES IS EITHER COMMERCIAL, MEDICAL OR
TOWN HOUSE APARTMENT BUILDINGS -- EXCUSE ME.
I DON'T NEED THE INTERRUPTION.
WILL YOU PAUSE MY TIME, PLEASE.
06:49:11PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.
06:49:12PM >> SHE IS NOT ALLOWED TO SUBMIT ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
RESPECT ME THE WAY I RESPECT YOU.
06:49:19PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THAT IS UNNECESSARY.
06:49:24PM >> I MEAN, COUNCIL, THIS IS COMPLETELY UNCALLED FOR.
06:49:34PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THIS IS MY THOUGHT.
THERE WAS PUBLIC COMMENT ONLINE.
WELL, APOLOGIES -- NO, CAN YOU STOP MR. MICHELINI'S TIME,
PLEASE.
YEAH, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ADD MORE TIME.
THAT IS MY FAULT.
I AM SUPPOSED TO BE KEEPING TIME OF PUBLIC COMMENT ONLINE.
APOLOGIES.
06:50:01PM >> WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO SIT DOWN.
06:50:02PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THE PERSON WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE ON PUBLIC
COMMENT IS NOT ONLINE.
06:50:08PM >> CAN WE RESET MY TIME, PLEASE.
06:50:11PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.
WE WILL JUST TAKE A SECOND TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PERSON WHO
REGISTERED AND, AGAIN, THIS IS ON ME.
MY FIRST TIME CHAIRING SO I APOLOGIZE.
06:50:22PM >> IT IS OKAY, COUNCIL.
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE WHEN SOMEBODY JUMPED UP FROM THE AUDIENCE
AND WANT TO HAND YOU SOMETHING, COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE.
I DON'T DO THAT.
06:50:31PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
AGREED.
OKAY, SO WE HAVE NO RESPONSE.
MR. MICHELINI, GO RIGHT AHEAD.
06:51:40PM >> COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, WHEN I -- WHEN I AM PRESENTING
MATERIAL TO YOU, I DON'T MAKE THIS UP.
I MEAN, THESE ARE CLEARLY OFFICIAL RECORDS.
06:51:49PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I AM SO SORRY.
CAN YOU --
06:51:59PM >>CLERK:
MY GO TO WEBINAR -- SHE IS ON ANS WILLING TO SPEAK IF
YOU GIVE US A MOMENT SO WE CAN ALLOW HER TO SPEAK.
06:52:08PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES, OH, I SEE A FACE.
I SEE A WAVE.
WE JUST HAVE TO PUT IT ON OUR SCREEN.
06:52:15PM >>CLERK:
OKAY, THEY ARE UNMUTED.
06:52:19PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
IF WE CAN ALLOW THIS PERSON TO SPEAK, MADAM
CHAIR, AND AFTER THAT, MR. MICHELINI CAN HAVE HIS REBUTTAL.
06:52:25PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OF COURSE, HE CAN HAVE HIS FULL TIME.
06:52:29PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
MR. FALKALSKI, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND
AND BE SWORN IN.
[SWEARING IN]
06:52:39PM >> I DO.
06:52:39PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.
GO AHEAD.
06:52:42PM >> I AM ALSO OBVIOUSLY THE BUILDER OF THE TOWN HOME.
I CAME LAST TIME AND DISCUSSED A FEW THINGS, BUT I BELIEVE
IT GOT DISMISSED WE MENTIONED WITH THE LAST COUPLE OF
SPEAKERS, WHAT THEY ARE PRESENTING DOES NOT GET THE
CHARACTERISTICS FOR THE REST OF THE HOUSE.
THE HOMES ACROSS THE STREET AS THE OTHER SPEAKERS HAVE
MENTIONED ARE NOT INCLUDED, AND THE SHEET THAT HE HAS
DISPLAYED WHERE HE SAID THERE ARE ONLY THREE PARCELS ON OUR
SIDE OF THE STREET.
I BELIEVE THERE ARE ACTUAL FOUR, IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN.
AS FAR AS THE OTHER PICTURES, YOU HAVE SEEN WITH THE LIGHTS.
I AM THE HOUSE DIRECTLY NEXT TO WHERE THIS MASSIVE BUILDING
IS GOING TO BE BUILT.
SO I WILL ALSO BE AFFECTED BY THE 12:00 NOON -- OR RATHER
THE AFTERNOON SUNLIGHT IN THAT CASE.
ANY DAMAGE WITH MOISTURE -- WE ALL KNOW THAT FLORIDA IS A
EXTREMELY HUMID STATE.
AND MY HOUSE COULD BE AT RISK FOR HIGHER MOLD, THINGS LIKE
THAT.
GOING INTO THE STREET ITSELF, AS IT IS MENTIONED IT IS IN
BETWEEN TWO FAIRWAYS.
TWO ONE-WAY STREETS WITH ARMENIA AND HOWARD.
BECAUSE OF THAT, THIS STREET IS EXTREMELY BUSY.
AND CARS THAT GO THROUGH.
THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE CRASHES ON THAT STREET.
EVEN IF THEY ARE IN THE BACK, REALISTICALLY, THERE IS GOING
TO BE A LOT OF TRAFFIC STILL WITH THOSE PEOPLE IN THE FRONT.
WE CAN PARK IN THE BACK ALL THE TIME, BUT WE CAN BE
REALISTIC.
OUTSIDE OF THAT, I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE -- ABOUT THE
IMPLICATIONS IT COULD HAVE ON MY HOUSE.
I DON'T WANT TO SAY HEALTH-WISE, BUT JUST THE TOTAL
CONSTRUCTION OF IT.
ANY TIME OF WATER THAT MAY BE RUN-OFF FROM THERE -- FROM
THEIR PROPERTY IF IT IS ELEVATED AT ALL DURING THE
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS.
OUTSIDE OF THAT, I AM OPPOSED TO THIS -- TO THIS REZONING.
THANK YOU.
06:54:55PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
OKAY.
MR. MICHELINI.
I AM SORRY, GO AHEAD.
06:55:03PM >>BILL CARLSON:
IF YOU DON'T MIND, I WANT TO ASK BEFORE YOU
DO REBUTTAL.
06:55:08PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YOU WANT TO ASK OF --
06:55:11PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I WANT TO ASK LEGAL.
WHO IS HERE FROM LEGAL?
OKAY.
SORRY, MY EYES ARE NOT THAT GREAT TONIGHT.
THE PUBLIC -- SO MR. MICHELINI TALKED ABOUT HOW THIS WAS
FOUND CONSISTENT AND MET ALL THE RULES, BUT THE PUBLIC
TALKED OF IT NOT MEETING THE RULES, THE GUIDELINES OF THE
OVERLAY DISTRICT.
SO HOW DO WE COME TO TERMS WITH THOSE TWO DIFFERENCES?
06:55:37PM >>CATE WELLS:
CATE WELLS, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
SO THE PD REQUEST THAT IS BEFORE COUNCIL NOTES THAT THERE
ARE NO REQUESTED WAIVERS.
SO WHILE THE ELEVATIONS DO NOT APPEAR TO COMPLY WITH THE
OVERLAY DISTRICT GUIDELINES, IF THE PROJECT IS APPROVED AT
PERMITTING, THE DESIGN WOULD HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE
GUIDELINES.
BECAUSE NONE OF THOSE OVERLAY DISTRICT GUIDELINES OR
STANDARDS HAVE BEEN WAIVED.
06:56:05PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THANK YOU.
06:56:07PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
OKAY, MR. MICHELINI, REBUTTAL.
06:56:14PM >> I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT A COUPLE OF THINGS.
THERE ARE NO WAIVERS, AGAIN.
WE MEET NATURAL RESOURCES.
WHETHER THEY HAVE TRAFFIC VOLUME OR NOT, WE --
TRANSPORTATION DIDN'T OBJECT.
AND WE ARE UTILIZING THE ALLEY, WHICH IS PART OF THE WEST
TAMPA OVERLAY REQUIREMENTS.
SO YOUR ACCESS FOR YOUR GARAGES IN THIS CASE IS BEING
PROVIDED IN THE REAR.
THE HEIGHT OF THE STRUCTURES ARE STATED AT 35 FEET.
THAT IS STATUTORY.
WE CAN'T ALL OF A SUDDEN RAISE THE ROOF.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO DO THAT.
I PULLED THIS OFF OF THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S WEB PAGE AND
OUTLINED EVERYTHING EXCEPT THESE THREE ARE ALL EITHER
MULTIFAMILY, OFFICE, OR MEDICAL OFFICE, INCLUDING VERY HIGH
INTENSITY DOWN HERE.
NOT A HIGH INTENSIVE PROJECT.
TWO UNITS ON THE PROPOSED LOT BEING REQUESTED.
I SHOWED YOU THE SITE PLAN WITH THE PORCHES.
WE ARE 17.5 FEET AWAY FROM THE BACK OF THE SIDEWALK FOR THE
BUILDING AND TEN FEET TO THE FRONT OF THE PORCH WITH THE
WALKWAYS GOING UP.
AGAIN, STORAGE FOR GARBAGE IS INSIDE THE GARAGES.
SO WE ARE NOT -- WE ARE NOT CAUSING ANY KIND OF CLUTTER
ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.
PEOPLE FREQUENTLY CITE AS BEING A PROBLEM.
I CAN GO THROUGH ALL OF THESE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS
THAT WE MEET, BUT I WILL JUST REFERENCE.
AND I ASK THAT THIS REPORT BE RECEIVED AND FILED AND MADE
PART OF THE RECORD, BUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE GOALS AND
OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES ARE MET.
PROVIDE MULTIMODAL OPTIONS HAVE BEEN MET.
HURRICANE EVACUATION SHELTERS ISSUE IS MET.
LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
ARE MET.
OVERALL RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT ARE MET.
MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL PROVISIONS IN THE CODE ARE MET.
LOW, MEDIUM DENSITY FAMILY AREAS ARE MET.
ADEQUATE SITES TO ACCOMMODATE HOUSING NEEDS ARE MET.
COMPLIANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS CERTIFIED BY THE
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF IS MET.
POLICIES OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, CITY DESIGN,
GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES ARE MET.
CITY PLANNING GOALS, POLICIES ARE MET.
PUBLIC REALM IS MET.
URBAN VILLAGES, GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES ARE MET.
YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THE EMOTIONAL ASPECT OF IT.
I UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE DON'T LIKE CHANGES SOMETIME.
WE HAVE TO MEET THE DESIGN GUIDELINES WHEN WE GO THROUGH
PERMITTING.
THERE IS NO WAIVING OF THAT.
AND IF SOME OTHER BUILDING THAT WAS USED AS A COMPARISON
THAT THEY DIDN'T SOMEHOW MEET THE CODE IS NOT WHAT IS BEFORE
YOU AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS PROJECT.
WE INTEND TO MEET THE OVERLAY DISTRICT AS PROVIDED FOR IN
THE CODE, AND WE HAVE BEEN FOUND CONSISTENT AND RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL.
WE MET ALL THE GUIDELINES REQUIRED BY THE CITY.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR
APPROVAL.
06:59:45PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
A MOTION TO CLOSE.
06:59:47PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SO MOVED.
06:59:49PM >>LUIS VIERA:
SECOND.
06:59:51PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
AYE.
ANY OPPOSED?
DO WE WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS OR DOES SOMEONE WANT TO MAKE
A MOTION?
07:00:04PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I WILL SPEAK ABOUT IT IF NOBODY ELSE WANTS
TO.
07:00:11PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
07:00:14PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THIS IS A TOUGH ONE.
I AM NOT OPPOSED TO THE DENSITY AND LOCATION.
BUT I DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS THAT MAKE IT -- PARKING IN THIS
AREA IS PARTICULARLY HARSH AND BAD AND HAVING A SUBSTANDARD
GARAGE WITH A RELATIVELY SHORT DRIVEWAY ON A -- ON AN ALLEY.
I APPLAUD YOU OF USING THE ALLEY BUT NOT A LOT OF EXTRA ROOM,
AND I AM AFRAID IT WILL COMPOUND PROBLEMS WITH PARKING WHICH
IS THE NEIGHBORS' CONCERNS ABOUT THE -- MR. MICHELINI, AGAIN,
YOU SPOKE ABOUT NO WAIVERS AND NO THIS.
BUT THIS IS A PD.
YOU ARE ASKING SOMETHING BECAUSE NO ENTITLEMENT TO IT AND
WITH NO BONUS PROVISIONS FOR THAT DENSITY.
WITH CITY COUNCIL, WE HAVE TO WEIGH EVERYTHING OUT AND MAKE
A DETERMINATION ABOUT ARE WE GIVING UP -- ARE WE GETTING
SOMETHING THAT IS WORTHY OF GIVING SOMETHING UP.
I JUST DON'T THINK THIS PROVES THAT THIS IS A BUILDING THAT
IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE ADJOINING -- WITH THE BLOCK.
WHILE OBVIOUSLY IT IS POINTED OUT YOU HAVE A MONSTROSITY
SITTING HERE.
WE DON'T WANT TO REPEAT THAT MISTAKE.
AND DEFINITELY NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE CURRENT BUILDING
STRUCTURES THAT ALIGN BOTH THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDE OF B.
I THINK TRYING TO BRING IN HOWARD AND ARMENIA, AND THE
DENSITY IN HOWARD AND ARMENIA ARE DISINGENUOUS BECAUSE THEY
ARE DIFFERENT STREETS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I AM NOT OPPOSED TO THE DENSITY AND A LITTLE BIT MORE SITE
CONTROL AND LAND, WHICH PUBLIC SPEAKERS SHOWED EXAMPLES OF
MULTIFAMILY THAT WOULD BE HIGHLY DESIRABLE, THAT WOULD BE
SOMETHING THAT THIS COUNCIL IS WILLING TO SUPPORT AND BUILD
IN THESE AREAS.
IT LOOKS GREAT.
DUPLEXES.
BUT THEY WERE APPROPRIATELY DESIGNED AND BE THE RIGHT SIZE
FOR THIS LOT.
RELUCTANTLY, I AM SORRY, I AM NOT GOING TO SUPPORT THIS ONE
TONIGHT.
THANK YOU.
07:02:23PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG.
07:02:25PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
I WOULD JUST HAVE TO AGREE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER
CLENDENIN.
I DEFINITELY THINK WE NEED HOUSING.
HOUSING IS A VERY BIG ISSUE, AND WE WANT TO HAVE MORE
HOUSING, BUT, YOU KNOW -- HOUSING THAT FITS INTO THE
NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE CHARACTERISTIC OF NEIGHBORHOOD IS VERY
IMPORTANT.
I THINK HOUSING IS IMPORTANT, BUT I WILL HAVE TO AGREE WITH
THE SENTIMENTS OF COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
07:02:55PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
07:03:01PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I AM LISTENING TO ALL SIDES.
WHAT CONCERNS ME IS YOU EITHER HAVE A OVERLAY OR YOU DON'T
HAVE AN OVERLAY.
IN THIS CASE, YOU HAVE AN OVERVIEW.
I HAVE TROUBLE SWALLOWING IT.
I DON'T KNOW WHO IS RIGHT OR WHO IS WRONG.
IF THE CITY IS RIGHT OR THE PETITIONER IS WRONG OR THE
PETITIONER IS RIGHT AND THE CITY IS WRONG.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD DISCUSSED THEIR OPINION OF THE DIFFERENCES
IN THE SIZING OF THE DWELLING.
IT DOESN'T MEET THE OVERLAY.
IT WAS CONSISTENT WITH BOTH THE CITY AND THE PLANNING
COMMISSION.
THIS IS ONE THAT IN MY -- IN MY MANY YEARS OF PUBLIC
SERVICE, I NEVER HAD ONE LIKE THIS.
SUPPOSED TO HAVE SOMETHING IT DOESN'T HAVE BUT IT IS STILL
CONSISTENT.
THAT'S ALL.
07:03:44PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
YES, MR. VIERA?
07:03:48PM >>LUIS VIERA:
IN GENERAL, DO WE HAVE -- CAN WE HAVE, LIKE, A
FINDING ON WHETHER OR NOT IT IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE
OVERLAY?
07:03:55PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
DO YOU WANT TO REOPEN THE HEARING?
07:03:57PM >>LUIS VIERA:
IF I MAY, VERY BRIEFLY.
07:04:00PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
MOTION TO REOPEN.
WE HAVE A MOTION TO REOPEN BY COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
ANY OPPOSED.
STAFF?
07:04:15PM >>LUIS VIERA:
THAT APPEARS TO BE A RELEVANT ISSUE FOR SOME
OF US.
THAT WOULD BE A DETERMINING ISSUE.
07:04:20PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
URBAN DESIGN DOES REVIEW THESE.
THEY DO HAVE TO FOLLOW THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
THEY ALSO -- ONCE IT GOES INTO PERMITTING, THEY DO REVIEW
THAT AS WELL.
AND IT HAS TO MEET THAT AT THE TIME OF PERMITTING.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION.
07:05:12PM >>LUIS VIERA:
IF I MAY.
07:05:14PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
07:05:15PM >>LUIS VIERA:
SO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING TO PROCEED WITH THIS,
THERE IS PRESUMPTION THAT IT WILL MEET THE OVERLAY.
IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING?
AND IF YOU NEED TO CAUCUS WITH PEOPLE FOR A PROPER ANSWER,
YOU CAN TAKE YOUR TIME.
I KNOW THAT IF YOU NEED TO -- MADAM CHAIR --
07:05:31PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I HAVE A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION.
07:05:33PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THAT'S FINE.
07:05:34PM >>LUIS VIERA:
BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE PUT ON
THE SPOT.
07:05:37PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ALAN HAS A FOLLOW-UP.
ARE WE CHANGING OUR MIND?
07:05:46PM >>LUIS VIERA:
I DON'T KNOW, COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN WANTED
TO SPEAK.
THAT MAY GIVE US TIME --
07:05:51PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WHILE WE HAVE A MOMENT.
WE ARE HITTING 7:00, AND WE STILL HAVE ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN.
07:06:01PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
YOU ONLY KEEP ME FOR ONE MORE HOUR, FYI.
07:06:04PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IF ANYBODY -- IF YOU WANT TO ORDER FOOD, NOW
IS THE TIME.
WE HAVE SEVEN MORE ITEMS.
07:06:12PM >>LUIS VIERA:
I AM FINE.
07:06:14PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
07:06:15PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MAYBE I CAN ASK THE QUESTION BECAUSE WHAT
THEY ARE LOOKING INTO NOW.
07:06:24PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THEY ARE DOING A POWWOW AND MAY WANT TO WAIT
UNTIL THEY FINISH THEIR POWWOW.
07:06:35PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I CAN'T SEE THAT OFF CAMERA.
THANK YOU.
I LOOK FABULOUS WITH THE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS, BY THE WAY.
07:06:43PM >>LUIS VIERA:
MADAM CHAIR, MAY I SAY SOMETHING.
07:07:30PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES, COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
07:07:33PM >>LUIS VIERA:
COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA, WERE YOU SAYING YOU
WANT TO --
07:07:43PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
LET'S ASK MR. THOMAS TO COME IF HE HAS A-
MOMENT.
07:07:52PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
AFTER THIS ONE, WE WILL TAKE A QUICK BREAK.
MR. THOMAS, NEVER MIND.
WE WILL WAIT.
WE ARE GOING TO DO A BREAK RIGHT AFTER THIS, AND WE WILL TALK
ABOUT IT.
THANK YOU, SORRY ABOUT THAT.
DO YOU NEED HIM TO GET SOMETHING FOR YOU?
GO FOR IT.
07:08:19PM >>LUIS VIERA:
MADAM CHAIR, DO YOU THINK IT WILL BE WISE TO
TAKE A THREE-MINUTE RECESS?
WE LITERALLY DON'T --
07:08:41PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A FIVE-MINUTE RECESS.
WE WILL RECONVENE -- WE WILL DO IT -- WE WILL MAKE IT A NICE
SIX MINUTES AT 7:15.
SO WE ARE ADJOURNED AND BACK AT 7:15.
RECESS.
SORRY, RECESS.
APOLOGIES.
07:08:57PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
HERE.
07:17:23PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
HERE.
07:17:24PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
HERE.
07:17:25PM >>LUIS VIERA:
HERE.
07:17:26PM >>BILL CARLSON:
HERE.
07:17:28PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
HERE.
07:17:29PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
HERE.
07:17:30PM >>CLERK:
WE HAVE A PHYSICAL QUORUM.
07:17:32PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I BELIEVE THAT MISS POPE WAS HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF ANSWERING
COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA'S QUESTION.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO RESTATE YOUR QUESTION.
07:17:48PM >>LUIS VIERA:
YES, MA'AM, WHETHER OR NOT THE APPLICANT NEEDS
TO COMPLY WITH THE OVERLAY DISTRICT JUST BY OPERATION OF
MOVING FORWARD.
IN OTHER WORDS, IS -- THAT IS MY QUESTION.
NUMBER ONE, DOES THIS -- DOES THIS VIOLATE IN ANY WAY THE --
THE OVERLAY, AND DO THEY HAVE TO BE IN COMPLIANCE?
IS THAT A PRESUMPTION?
BECAUSE THAT SEEMS TO BE RELEVANT FOR SOME FOLKS, INCLUDING
MYSELF.
07:18:12PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
URBAN DESIGN REVIEWED THIS AND FOUND IT CONSISTENT.
JUST WANT TO SHOW THIS ON THE STAFF REPORT JUST SO WE SEE
THAT THEY DID REVIEW IT AND FOUND IT CONSISTENT.
07:18:29PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SORRY, WE CAN'T SEE IT.
WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL CCTV PUTS IT UP.
THANK YOU.
07:18:35PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
CAN YOU LEAVE IT UP.
WE DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
IF CCTV CAN TAKE THE CLOSED CAPTIONING OFF OF OUR SCREEN SO
AS WE CAN SEE BETTER, WE WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
THANKS.
07:18:52PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
AND WHEN URBAN DESIGN DOES REVIEW, THEY
LOOK AT THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.
AND THEY LOOK FOR A PRECEDENT IN THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.
SO WHEN THEY REVIEWED THAT AND FOUND IT CONSISTENT.
THEY LOOKED AT THE SURROUNDING AREA TO DETERMINE THEIR
CONSISTENCY.
07:19:15PM >>LUIS VIERA:
MAY I.
07:19:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
07:19:20PM >>LUIS VIERA:
THANK YOU.
ARE YOU TELLING ME -- CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BY VIRTUE OF
URBAN DESIGN FINDING CONSISTENCY, DOES THAT INFER OR
CONCLUDE BY PRESUMPTION OF CONSISTENCY WITH THE OVERLAY?
07:19:33PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
THAT WOULD -- THEY REVIEW FOR THE OVERLAY.
SO, YES, SIR.
YES, THAT'S CORRECT.
07:19:40PM >>LUIS VIERA:
QUESTION ANSWERED.
I HAVE GONE NOTHING FURTHER.
THANK YOU.
07:19:43PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
MISS POPE --
07:19:46PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I HAVE A QUESTION.
07:19:48PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SORRY, COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
07:19:50PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
YEAH, THIS GOES HAND IN HAND WITH WHAT
COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA SAID.
THIS IS PART OF MY GRAVE CONCERN.
I THINK WHAT THE -- HOW THAT QUESTION WAS ANSWERED KIND OF
LED US TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
IF THIS COUNCIL WAS TO APPROVE THIS RIGHT NOW, THIS -- THIS
WOULD BE ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF CONSTRUCTION THAT WILL BE USED
AS PRECEDENT SETTING TO UNDERMINE THE OVERLAY FOR WEST TAMPA
WE HAVE TO FIRST FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET TO THE URBAN DESIGN
STAFF TO SAY, YOU KNOW -- BASICALLY TO SAY BS ON THIS THING.
THEY CAN NOT USE THESE DESIGNS THAT CAN BE INAPPROPRIATELY
CONSTRUCTED AS AN EXAMPLE TO CONTINUE A MISTAKE.
SO IF A MISTAKE WAS MADE, WE CAN'T KEEP DOUBLING DOWN ON
THAT MISTAKE.
THAT IS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TODAY IF WE APPROVE THIS.
THAT WAS MY POINT OF THE QUESTION FOR STAFF WAS -- AND SHE
ANSWERED EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE.
THAT THIS URBAN DESIGN EVALUATED THIS AND FOUND IT
CONSISTENT AS YOU FOUND IN THE STAFF REPORT, WHICH MEANS THAT
WOULD HAVE BEEN -- IF WE APPROVE THIS TODAY, THAT IS THE WAY
IT IS GOING TO FLY AND ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF CONSTRUCTION WILL
BE USED FOR THE NEXT PROJECT TO BE USED FOR NEXT PROJECT.
WE HAVE TO PUT A STOP ON IT NOW AND SOMEHOW GET THE URBAN
DESIGN PEOPLE FROM KEEPING DOING THIS AGAIN.
07:21:14PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COUNCIL MEMBER
CLENDENIN.
07:21:17PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I AM GOOD, THANK YOU.
07:21:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
CAN YOU PUT A PHOTO OF THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR?
THE TOWN HOUSE NEXT DOOR.
WHEN WAS THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY PUT IN?
07:21:32PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
THAT WAS ESTABLISHED IN ... ACCORDING TO
THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY, IF A LAW OF RECORD WAS ESTABLISHED
--
07:22:20PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
MY QUESTION WAS, WHEN DID THE WEST TAMPA
OVERLAY GO INTO -- WHEN WAS IT PUT IN?
WHAT YEAR -- WHEN WAS THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY DEVELOPED?
07:23:25PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SOUNDS LIKE THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE IN THE BACK
THAT MAY KNOW.
07:23:30PM >> 2005!
07:23:33PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE STAND UP AND COME AND PUT
INTO THE RECORD, PLEASE.
I WILL TAKE -- I WILL TAKE ANY TAKERS AT THIS POINT.
07:23:42PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
IT IS SWORN TESTIMONY.
IF THEY COME UP AND ANNOUNCE THEIR NAME.
07:23:46PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SOMEBODY THAT IS FROM DOMAIN HOMES THAT WORKS
CONSISTENTLY WITH THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
07:23:55PM >> COUNCIL, CAN I JUST ADD SOMETHING --
07:23:57PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
NO, I NEED MY QUESTION ANSWERED FIRST,
PLEASE.
07:24:00PM >> KEVIN ROBLES, JANUARY 1, 2005.
07:24:08PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
2005?
THAT IS WHEN THE OVERLAY WAS CREATED.
THANK YOU.
MISS POPE --
07:24:17PM >> KEVIN ROBLES.
07:24:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
KEVIN ROBLES.
GOING BACK TO THE PHOTO OF THE BUILDING, DOES THIS MEET THE
OVERLAY?
07:24:30PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
I DO NOT REVIEW FOR URBAN DESIGN.
07:24:33PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IS ANYBODY FROM URBAN DESIGN HERE TONIGHT?
07:24:37PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
NO, MA'AM.
07:24:38PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY, THANK YOU.
07:24:43PM >>BILL CARLSON:
MAY I.
07:24:45PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON, I KEEP FORGETTING TO
TURN MY MIC ON.
07:24:53PM >>BILL CARLSON:
YOU ALL AND MISS WELLS ANSWERED MY QUESTION
EARLIER.
ONCE THIS PROCESS IS DONE, THE FINAL DESIGN WILL GO TO THE
STAFF FOR DESIGN APPROVAL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SINCE THE STAFF HAS ALREADY SAID THIS IS CONSISTENT AND IF
WE APPROVE THIS TONIGHT, WOULDN'T THAT GO TO THEM AND
PRESUME IT WILL BE APPROVED BY DESIGN OR IS THERE A CHANCE
IT WOULD BE REJECTED.
WOULDN'T IT BE THE SAME STAFF THAT FOUND IT CONSISTENT WHO
WOULD BE REVIEWING THE -- WHETHER IT -- WHETHER IT MET THE
CRITERIA FOR THE OVERLAY DISTRICT?
07:25:34PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
AT THE TIME OF PERMITTING, THERE ARE SEVERAL REVIEWERS IN
URBAN DESIGN WHO REVIEW WHEN IT GOES INTO PERMITTING FOR THE
OVERLAYS.
SO IT MAY NOT BE THE SAME REVIEWER.
07:25:50PM >>BILL CARLSON:
MY OTHER QUESTION IS, WHEN YOU SHOWED THAT
SHEET THAT WAS -- THAT WAS BLOWN UP FOR US.
I READ IT QUICKLY JUST NOW.
BUT TO ME -- THE WAY I READ IT, IT WAS SILENT WITH THE
OVERLAY DISTRICT.
I DIDN'T SEE ANY REFERENCE TO THE OVERLAY DISTRICT.
I WONDER IF SOMEHOW THE OVERLAY DISTRICT WAS NOT CONSULTED
IN THE RECOMMENDATION OF CONSISTENCY.
WHICH SHEET IS THAT?
07:26:27PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THE ONE PUT ON THE ELMO.
07:26:30PM >> THAT IS JUST A SUMMARY SHEET OF THEIR FINDING.
07:26:33PM >>BILL CARLSON:
SHOULDN'T A NOTE HAVE SAID THAT IT MEETS THE
CRITERIA OF THE OVERLAY DISTRICT?
07:26:42PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
STEPHANIE POPE, LAND DEVELOPMENT
COORDINATION.
WE GENERALLY PUT THE NOTE IN THE STAFF REPORT AT THE TIME OF
PERMITTING.
THEY MUST MEET THE OVERLAY REQUIREMENTS.
07:26:53PM >> COUNCIL, CAN I ADD A COMMENT HERE FOR JUST A SECOND.
07:26:58PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
JUST ONE MOMENT.
COUNCIL, I THINK WE ARE GOING OFF -- YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T
APPROVE THIS BASED ON THE OVERLAY.
WE CAN -- BUT WE CAN TALK ABOUT DENSITY AND SIZE AND SCALE,
BUT THE OVERLAY IS OUT OF OUR HANDS.
IT -- MR. DEMANCHE, DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING?
07:27:26PM >>BILL CARLSON:
IT CONCERNS ME NO ONE IS HERE TO TESTIFY AS
TO WHETHER THAT WAS REVIEWED.
07:27:32PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
AGREED.
07:27:36PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THE AZIMUTH THAT SAID THIS CRITERIA WAS
APPROVED.
THAT IS ALL I AM GOING TO SAY AT THIS POINT.
WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT IN NEW BUSINESS.
07:27:48PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THERE ARE NO MORE QUESTIONS.
MR. MICHELINI HAS REBUTTAL.
07:27:54PM >> I WAS GOING TO OFFER -- NO ONE IS TRYING TO WAIVE THE
WEST TAMPA OVERLAY DESIGN CRITERIA.
YOU CAN'T WAIVE IT ANYWAY.
CERTAINLY IT WOULD BE, I THINK, APPROPRIATE TO PUT A
CONDITION IN THERE AS PART OF AN APPROVAL THAT SAYS WE HAVE
TO MEET THAT DESIGN CRITERIA AND BRING IT BACK TO YOU,
WHATEVER THAT DESIGN IS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
THAT WE CAN DO.
WE CAN'T CHANGE -- IF WE START CHANGING SETBACKS AND HEIGHTS
AND THINGS LIKE THAT, WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO DRC.
WE HAVE TO HAVE A CONTINUED HEARING IN GOING FORWARD.
BUT SEEMS TO ME IF DESIGN IS THE ISSUE, WHICH IS NOT PART OF
THE REAL -- THAT IS NOT PART OF THE REZONING CRITERIA
ANYWAY, BUT THE SPACING ON THE STREET, THE SETBACKS, THAT IS
PART OF THE CRITERIA.
YOU KNOW, I THINK -- MAYBE GOING FORWARD, IF COUNCIL IS
WISHING FOR A STATEMENT TO BE PLACED ON THE SITE PLAN, I
DON'T THINK ANYONE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
MY CLIENTS HAVE SAID, YOU KNOW, IF WE HAD KNOWN, WE WOULDN'T
HAVE GIVEN YOU SOMETHING THAT LOOKED A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
WE LOOKED AT SOMETHING THAT MET THE CODE.
AND THE DESIGN IS NOT PART OF THAT PLAN REVIEW.
I MEAN, YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THE OVERLAY IS NOT PART
OF IT.
AND YET WE KEEP INSERTING IT IN THERE.
I WILL BE HAPPY TO PUT A NOTE THAT WE MUST COMPLY WITH THE
DESIGN GUIDELINES.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS COMPATIBLE.
THERE IS NOTHING IN THERE THAT SAYS YOU HAVE TO HAVE
SOMETHING BIGGER THAN A 18 -- A DEPTH OF 18 FEET ON A
DRIVEWAY.
THAT IS ANOTHER CRITERIA THAT IS NOT IN THERE.
AND, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT TO ASK JONATHAN SCOTT IF IT
COMPLIES, IT COMPLIES.
ADDING THINGS IN THE REVIEW AND CONSIDERING SUPPORT OR NOT
SUPPORT THAT IS NOT IN THE CODE.
SO THAT LEAVES US AS A PROPONENT OF A PROJECT, WHERE DO WE
GO?
ARE WE TRYING TO ANTICIPATE WHATEVER QUESTIONS YOU ALL MIGHT
HAVE OR DO WE FOLLOW THE CODE, BECAUSE YOU ARE ADDING THINGS
IN THAT AREN'T THERE.
THE STAFF HAS TOLD YOU WE MET THE CODE.
35 FEET IS ALLOWABLE ON ANY ONE OF THESE LOTS BY RIGHT.
NOT EXCESSIVE HEIGHT.
IT IS 35 FEET.
WHETHER IT CREATES A SHADOW FOR SOMEBODY NEXT DOOR OR NOT,
THAT IS THE CODE.
ANY ONE OF THESE BUNGALOWS THAT EXIST IN THE AREA, ANY ONE
OF THE OTHER PROPERTIES ARE ALLOWED BY RIGHT TO GO TO 35
FEET.
THE ISSUE HERE, AND THE REASON THEY ARE IN A PD BECAUSE WE
HAVE TO HAVE A RESOLUTION FOR THE BONUS DENSITY TO ALLOW TWO
UNITS.
NOT TO WAIVE PARKING.
NOT TO WAIVE SETBACKS.
NOT TO WAIVE ANYTHING ELSE.
WE CERTAINLY CAN'T WAIVE DESIGN.
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE.
YOU KNOW, THE STAFF HAS -- YOU KNOW, THEY HAD A LETTER WHERE
THEY ARE TALKING IT OF THE SPACING ALONG THE STREET.
THEY TALK ABOUT THE SETBACKS.
THEY TALK ABOUT A VARIETY OF OTHER THINGS URBAN DESIGN WAS
LOOKING AT.
AT THIS POINT, THEY ARE NOT LOOKING AT DESIGN.
BUT WE HAVE TO COMPLETE.
AND, YOU KNOW, COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, IF I CAN GET YOUR SUPPORT,
WE WILL CERTAINLY PUT A NOTE ON THERE THAT WE MUST COMPLY
WITH THE DESIGN GUIDELINES AND SNEAK LOOK LIKE WHAT IS
SUPPOSED TO BE, YOU KNOW, VIEWED IN THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE I CAN DO.
WE CERTAINLY HAVE TRIED OUR BEST TO MEET THE CRITERIA.
STAFF SAYS WE HAVE.
URBAN DESIGN SAID WE HAVE MET THE CRITERIA FOR SPACING,
HEIGHT, AND SETBACKS.
AND WE ADDED THE PORCHES THAT YOU ALL SAID YOU WANT.
WE ADDED THE ACCESS TO THE REAR WHICH YOU SAID YOU WANT.
WE ADDED THE GARAGES WITH THE -- WITH THE GARBAGE ENCLOSED
INSIDE.
YOU ALL HAVE SAID ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
NOT ONE THING WE IGNORED.
NOT ONE.
SO WHEN WE COME BEFORE YOU, THERE IS A REASONABLE
EXPECTATION THAT IF WE HAVE LISTENED TO YOU AND DONE WHAT
YOU ASKED, WE WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT.
CERTAINLY, I AM COMING BEFORE YOU AND ASKING RESPECTFULLY FOR
YOUR SUPPORT IN APPROVING THIS PROJECT.
WE CAN MAKE WHATEVER CHANGES AND NOTES THAT YOU WANT BETWEEN
FIRST AND SECOND READING.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
07:32:17PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
AYE.
07:32:26PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
AYE.
07:32:27PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
07:32:30PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
DISCUSSION.
07:32:32PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES, CHAIR CLENDENIN OR COUNCIL MEMBER
CLENDENIN.
07:32:40PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I SAID I WAS ON THE EDGE, BUT I HAVE PUSHED
OFF THE END IN NO WAY IN A HARD WAY.
ONE -- I WILL ADDRESS WHAT MICHELINI SAID OF WHAT HE CAN DO.
EUCLIDIAN ZONING IS THAT YOU HAVE A RIGHT OF BUILDING THERE.
WHEN COUNCIL TO THIS COUNCIL AND LOOKING FOR A PD BECAUSE
YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO BUILD IT.
YOU HAVE LAND RIGHTS AND THINGS YOU CAN BUILD ON THESE LOTS
BY RIGHT.
THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE.
YOU ARE ASKING FOR SOMETHING -- YOU ARE ASKING FOR
EXCEPTIONS.
WHEN ASK YOU FOR THE EXCEPTIONS ARE, WE HAVE TO BALANCE THE
ENTIRE PROJECT.
I AM FORTUNATE TO BELIEVE THAT URBAN DESIGN SET US UP FOR
FAILURE.
THEY DID EVALUATE THAT.
IF COUNCIL APPROVED THE DESIGN THAT WE WILL SEE IS
DESIGN THAT WAS SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT FOR THIS
PROJECT.
THEY SUBMITTED THE DESIGN.
THE DRAWINGS THAT WE SEE ARE DESIGNS THAT OBVIOUSLY DO NOT
COMPLY WITH THE OVERLAY DISTRICT.
WHY?
OKAY.
YOU ASK OF BRINGING PROJECTS FORWARD IN THE FUTURE TO THIS
COUNCIL.
I SUGGEST ALL APPLICANTS BRING PROBLEMS THAT ARE VOTE READY
THAT ACTUALLY ACCURATELY REFLECT WHAT THE APPLICANT INTENDS
TO BUILD.
WHY YOU WOULD BRING SOMETHING FORWARD THAT IS NOT
PICTORIALLY ACCURATELY REFLECT WHAT YOU WANT TO BUILD ON THE
FIRST READ IS BEYOND ME.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.
IF YOU BROUGHT SOMETHING THAT REALLY REFLECTED WHAT YOU KNOW
THAT COUNCIL WANTS.
AGAIN, YOU ARE RIGHT.
I AM NOT USING THE GARAGE SIZE BECAUSE IT IS NOT A
REQUIREMENT.
I AM JUST SAYING THAT YOU ARE ASKING FOR SOMETHING.
IF YOU HAD GIVEN A LITTLE ON IT, MAYBE I CAN GIVE IT
SOMEWHERE ELSE.
BUT HONESTLY, AGAIN, THIS IS -- THIS IS NOT THE PRECEDENT WE
WANT TO SET ANOTHER PRECEDENT TO ALLOW THIS TO -- TO CONTINUE
TO BE BUILT OF THIS KIND OF CONSTRUCTION AND BE REPLICATED.
YOU HAVE TO SAY NO SOMETIME, AND THIS IS THE DAY TO SAY NO.
07:34:44PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANYONE ELSE?
OKAY.
CAN WE GET A MOTION?
07:34:48PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
MOTION FOR EITHER --
07:34:57PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
EITHER.
I NEED SOMEONE TO MAKE A MOTION.
I AM CHAIRING TONIGHT SO I AM NOT MAKING MOTION.
OKAY, I HAVE A LIGHT.
07:35:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
WERE YOU GOING TO READ IT?
I WAS GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO DENY.
I MAKE A MOTION TO DENY REZ-25-88.
IN LOOKING AT THE TAMPA 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE
POLICY 1.2.18, I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS PROJECT PROMOTES THE
HARMONY AND THE VISUAL RELATIONSHIP AND TRANSITION BETWEEN
NEW AND OLDER BUILDINGS AS WE SAW IN PHOTOGRAPHS THAT WERE
SHOWN DURING PUBLIC COMMENT.
NEW BUILDINGS TO IMITATE OLDER DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE
SYMPATHETIC TO THE SCALE.
WE SEE SCALE AND PROPORTION, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE
SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES RIGHT AROUND THERE, RIGHT NEXT DOOR.
SO MANY DIFFERENT EXAMPLES.
LAND USE POLICIES 1.2.23 REQUIRE THE SCALE AND MASSING OF NEW
DEVELOPMENT IN MIXED USE CENTERS TO PROVIDE APPROPRIATE
TRANSITIONS AND BUILDING HEIGHT AND THAT CAN BE
SENSITIVE TO THE PHYSICAL AND VISUAL CHARACTER OF ADJOINING
NEIGHBORHOODS.
WE SAW ONE EXAMPLE OF A VERY LARGE BUILDING NEXT TO A
SINGLE-FAMILY HOME.
THERE WAS TESTIMONY THERE REGARDING HOW THE SUN DOESN'T EVEN
APPEAR UNTIL 11:00 IN THE DAY.
THAT SHOWS YOU RIGHT THERE YOU HAVE A VERY LARGE BUILDING
NEXT TO A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME.
LOOKING AT SECTION -- FOR THE PD CODE, 27-136.6, PROMOTE AND
ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT WHERE APPROPRIATE IN LOCATION,
CHARACTER AND COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING IMPACTED
NEIGHBORHOODS.
BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND EXISTING GEOGRAPHY.
WE SEE A LOT OF HISTORIC SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
WE TALK OF THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY, AND LET ME SEE WHAT ELSE.
PROMOTE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES.
SECTION 8 OF 27-136.
NOT PROMOTING ARCHITECTURE FEATURES THAT COMPLEMENT THE
COMMUNITY AND ENHANCE THE OVERALL COMMUNITY OF THE
DEVELOPMENT.
WE SEE THIS NOT JUST WITH THE HEIGHT OF THE 35-FOOT PLUS,
BUT, AGAIN, SURROUNDED BY SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THAT IS MY MOTION OF DENIAL.
07:37:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK:

A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN CARLSON.

07:44:05PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ITEM NUMBER 6.
07:44:31PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
COUNCIL, FOR THE RECORD, CHRIS DEMANCHE.
I WANT TO GIVE A BRIEF ISSUE OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
EFFORT FOR CITY COUNCIL'S KNOWLEDGE AND FOR THE PUBLIC.
GIVEN TIMELINE WE HAVE GETTING TO THIS DATE TODAY.
SO IF YOU DON'T MIND, I WILL JUST READ BRIEFLY JUST SOME
TIMELINE ITEMS HERE.
IN ADDITION TO THE LAND USE CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE YOU
TONIGHT, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS SITE IS PART OF A
CITY-INITIATED AFFORDABLE HOUSING EFFORT.
CITY ACQUIRED THE ASSEMBLAGE IN 2022 WITH CDBG AND ARPA
FUNDS AND ISSUED A COMPETITIVE RFP IN 2023 FOR DEVELOPMENT
OF THE RECORD.
IN JANUARY 2025, DOING BUSINESS AS ASHLEY EAST LCC WAS
SELECTED AND THE CITY ENTERED INTO A 99-YEAR LEASE IN JUNE
OF 2025 TO SECURE LONG-TERM AFFORDABILITY.
CRA FUNDED IN SUPPORT BOTH ADJACENT PROPERTY ACQUISITION AS
WELL AS CONSTRUCTION.
WHILE THIS BACKGROUND IS NOT PART OF THE REZONING CRITERIA
ITSELF, WE ARE PROVIDING IT IN RECOGNITION OF THE COUNCIL
REQUEST THAT STAFF HAS FULL CONTEXT AND TRANSPARENCY ON
CITY-SUPPORTED HOUSING INITIATIVES.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT COUNCIL HAS COMPLETE AWARENESS OF
THE PUBLIC INVESTMENT AND INTENT UNDERLYING THIS PROJECT.
07:45:56PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.
I HAVE A QUESTION.
IS THIS REALLY A THREE-PAGE REVISION SHEET?
07:46:04PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
IT IS, MA'AM.
07:46:07PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
HOW?
I DON'T THINK I HAVE SEEN A THREE-PAGE REVISION SHEET.
07:46:14PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
ITEMS THAT WE HAD TO WORK WITH THE
APPLICANT.
07:46:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THAT IS SIGNIFICANT.
07:46:20PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
IT IS.
WE WORKED WITH THEM OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS TO GET IT
FINALIZED.
07:46:25PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
07:46:26PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
TO OKAY, THANK YOU.
FOR THE RECORD CHRIS DEMANCHE, AGENDA ITEM NUMBER
6, REZ-25-97, ZONE 3505 EAST COLUMBUS DRIVE, 3001, 3003,
3004, 3007, 3010 EAST FIFTH AVENUE FROM RM-16 TO PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WITH RESIDENTIAL
MULTIFAMILY.
START WITH AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
07:46:59PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SORRY, MR. CHRIS DEMANCHE, I AM GOING TO HAVE
TO STOP YOU RIGHT HERE, BECAUSE I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT
THIS REVISION SHEETS, AND I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH WHAT WE
DID AGAIN EARLIER.
I AM CONCERNED THAT WE ARE GOING TO END UP IN A SPOT WHERE
WE ARE GOING TO WANT TO CONTINUE THIS BECAUSE OF THE
REVISION SHEETS.
07:47:22PM >> MAY I --
07:47:25PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
MISS BATSEL, THAT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS.
IF A CONTINUANCE IS NECESSARY, LET'S DISCUSS IT NOW.
07:47:33PM >> ELISE BATSEL FOR THE RECORD.
NO CONTINUANCE IS NECESSARY.
OUR ENGINEER FOUND AN ERROR IN THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION.
BECAUSE WE FOUND AN ERROR IN THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION LAST WEEK
CAUSED ALL OF THE CALCULATIONS TO BE JUST SLIGHTLY OFF.
WHAT YOU ARE SEEING THERE IS YOU ARE SEEING CHANGES TO EVERY
THEN CALCULATION ON THAT SITE PLAN CHANGED SLIGHTLY -- JUST
SLIGHTLY BASED ON THAT ENGINEERING CALCULATION HE IS HERE
AND HAPPY TO EXPLAIN THAT, IF YOU WOULD LIKE.
HAD TO DO WITH THE LITTLE AREA VACATED OR IS PROPOSED TO BE
VACATED.
SO, YES, WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A CONTINUANCE, AND WE WORKED
VERY CLOSELY WITH STAFF TO WORK THAT WE DON'T NEED TO ASK
FOR ONE.
07:48:17PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT MY COLLEAGUES, BUT I AM UNCOMFORTABLE
MOVING FORWARD.
I WANT TO HAVE THE DISCUSSION NOW SO WE ARE NOT -- SO I HAVE
COUNCILMAN CARLSON AND THEN COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
07:48:27PM >>BILL CARLSON:
SO THE -- SO THE APPLICANT JUST TESTIFIED
THAT -- THAT THERE WAS THIS ERROR.
AND SHE DIDN'T SAY WHO CAUSED THE ERROR, BUT THIS WAS MEANT
TO FIX THE ERROR.
IF THE STAFF CAN VERIFY THAT HAPPENED, THEN -- AND THIS IS
THE NORMAL SOLUTION, THEN IT SEEMS LIKE -- I DON'T KNOW WHAT
ELSE THE REMEDY WOULD BE.
07:48:49PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY, COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
07:48:56PM >>BILL CARLSON:
IS IT POSSIBLE TO VALIDATE WHAT SHE SAID?
07:48:59PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ONE MOMENT, COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
STAFF?
07:49:02PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
THANK YOU, CHRIS DEMANCHE, LAND
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
YES, THE APPLICANT BROUGHT IT TO OUR ATTENTION THERE WAS A
REMNANT PARCEL ON THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE PROPERTY.
AND THIS DID THROW OUT SOME OF THE NUMBERS SLIGHTLY.
IT WASN'T ANYTHING OUTRAGEOUS.
SO THERE WERE THOSE ADJUSTMENTS.
07:49:20PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY, COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
07:49:24PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
PERHAPS THIS IS BETTER STATED AS A
QUESTION TO STAFF AND MAYBE THAT WILL GIVE AN INDICATION TO
PEOPLE IN THIS DISCUSSION.
THIS PROJECT FACES A SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD ON COLUMBUS,
RIGHT, ON OTHER SIDE?
07:49:40PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
CORRECT, SINGLE-FAMILY ACROSS ON THE NORTH
SIDE OF EAST COLUMBUS DRIVE.
07:49:45PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
AND SO THE GARAGE -- AND A SUBSTANTIAL
PORTION OF THAT FRONT-FACING COLUMBUS IS OPEN.
AND NOT UNITS.
SO NOT BUILT OUT TO KIND OF BLEND IN -- OR AT LEAST BE A
BUFFER BETWEEN THE SINGLE-FAMILY AND THIS COMPLEX?
07:50:03PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
I CAN BRING UP THE LANDSCAPE PLAN TO SHOW
THAT.
THERE IS AN ITEM WITHIN THAT REVISION SHEET WITH WORDS --
WORDING REQUESTING THAT PLANNING COMMISSION AND SCREENING
AND ARCHITECTURAL DEVELOPMENTS ARE PROVIDED ALONG THE
OPEN-AIR PARKING FACE EAST COLUMBUS DRIVE.
07:50:28PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
YEAH, I DID SEE THAT.
BUT WOULDN'T IT BE MORE APPROPRIATE IN THE TRANSITION TO
HAVE --
07:50:34PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN, THAT IS A QUESTION
FOR AFTER WE HAVE A PRESENTATION.
WE ARE DISCUSSING THE FACT OF MAKING -- SEEING WHETHER OR
NOT WE WISH TO CONTINUE THIS BECAUSE OF THE REVISION SHEET
OR NOT.
07:50:46PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I GUESS I WAS TRYING TO PROVIDE LEADING
QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU.
TO GIVE AN INDICATION OF WHERE I WAS AT.
07:50:57PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
07:51:00PM >>LUIS VIERA:
YES, MA'AM.
AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE APPROPRIATE STAFF, ETC.
ON THIS.
BUT THE PETITIONER'S ATTORNEY TOLD US THIS WAS KIND OF A DOMINO
EFFECT WHERE SOMETHING SMALL HAPPENED THAT CAUSED A BUNCH OF
OTHER THINGS.
07:51:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANYONE ELSE?
COUNCIL MEMBER YOUNG.
MICROPHONE.
07:51:22PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
SO I HAVE -- I HAVE A COUPLE OF CONCERNS.
07:51:30PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IS IT ABOUT THE WAIVERS?
BECAUSE OTHERWISE WE WILL WAIT FOR THE PRESENTATION.
07:51:34PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
SO WE WILL WAIT FOR THE PRESENTATION AND THEN
WE CAN STILL TALK ABOUT IT.
OKAY.
07:51:39PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT WAIVERS.
THEN IT WAS JUST ME, BUT I WANTED TO BRING IT UP.
BECAUSE IF WE NEEDED TO CONTINUE, WE NEEDED TO DO BEFORE IT
STARTED.
I AM SORRY, THE REVISIONS, NOT THE WAIVERS.
APOLOGIES.
SO GO AHEAD, MR. CHRIS DEMANCHE.
SORRY, APOLOGIES.
07:52:18PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
MADAM CHAIR, FOR THE RECORD, CHRIS
DEMANCHE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME TO START OVER?
07:52:27PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.
07:52:27PM >> I'M NOT GOING TO DO THE OVERVIEW.
I WILL START WHERE WE NORMALLY WOULD.
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 6, REZ 25-97.
REQUEST TO REZONE 3015 EAST COLUMBUS DRIVE AND 3001, 3003,

WE DO HAVE THE SITE PLAN TO PROVIDE.
07:55:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
CCTV, CAN YOU TAKE THE CLOSED CAPTIONING OFF
OF OURS SO WE CAN SEE THE SITE PLANS.
THANK YOU.
07:55:25PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:

LOOKING EAST ON EAST 15th AVENUE, AND LOOKING WEST ON EAST
15th AVENUE.
THIS IS LOOKING NORTH ON NORTH 31ST.
AND SOUTH.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE
PETITION AND FOUND THE REQUEST INCONSISTENT WITH THE
APPLICABLE CITY OF TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.
SHOULD IT BE THE PLEASURE OF CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THIS,
FURTHER MODIFICATIONS OF THE SITE PLAN MUST BE PRESENTED
BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING OF THE ORDINANCE AS STATED
ON THE REVISION SHEETS, AND THESE REVISIONS WILL NOT RESOLVE
THE ISSUE OF TRANSPORTATION'S CONSISTENT FINDINGS.
I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
08:00:10PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I HAVE A QUESTION, AND I WOULD LIKE, IN
GENERAL, WHEN THERE ARE WAIVERS, IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU
COULD JUST ALWAYS TELL US WHAT THOSE WAIVERS ARE INSTEAD OF
JUST SAYING THEY ARE IN THE STAFF REPORT.
SO IF YOU CAN SAY WHICH WAIVER -- WHAT THE WAIVERS ARE.
08:00:23PM >>Chris:
ABSOLUTELY.
CHRIS DEMANCHE, DEVELOPMENT TOWARD THAT ILLUSTRATION.
FIRST WAIVER TO 27-283.15 TO ALLOW A 19-FOOT TO 49
FOOT LOADING SPACE IN LIEU OF THE 12 FOOT.
WAIVER TWO, THIS IS TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF OVERALL
SPACES FROM 198 REQUIRED TO 120 PROVIDED.
THIS WOULD BE A 39% REDUCTION UNDER THE WAIVER.
THIRD WAIVER SECTION 27-284.4.1.
THIS IS TO REDUCE THE PERCENTAGE OF RETENTION QUALITY TREES
PRESERVED FOR A NONWOODED SITE FROM 50% TO 30%.
THE FOURTH WAIVER IS TO SECTION 27-284.25-F-1.
REQUEST TO REMOVE FOUR NONHAZARDOUS GRAND TREES.
SPECIFICALLY TREE NUMBER 7, A 54-INCH LIVE OAK RATED C-5.
TREE NUMBER 10, 30-INCH LIVE OAK RATED C-5.
TREE NUMBER 12, A 33-INCH LIVE OAK RATED C-5.
AS SHOWN ON THE TWO REASONABLE RECONFIGURATION EXHIBITS AND
THE FIFTH AND FINAL WAIVER REQUESTED IS TO SECTION
27-284.33.
THIS IS A REQUEST TO REDUCE MINIMUM LANDSCAPED AREAS FOR
MULTIFAMILY WITH VUA FROM 50 SQUARE FEET PER UNIT TO 194
SQUARE FEET PER UNIT.
SUBJECT TO LANDSCAPE IN LIEU OF FEES AT THE TIME OF
PERMITTING.
08:02:03PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.
COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN, YOU HAD QUESTIONS?
08:02:13PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
IN REFERENCE TO THE TRANSITION BETWEEN
THIS HIGHER INTENSITY USE AND SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD,
I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU GOT IN THERE ABOUT THE SCREENS, BUT
SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE APPROPRIATE TO HAVE THE
RESIDENTIAL UNITS BASICALLY FACING COLUMBUS AND, YOU KNOW --
STREET WALK-UP KIND OF THING SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DID IN EAST
TAMPA AT THAT COMPLEX.
THAT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED BETWEEN FIRST AND
SECOND READING OR SOMETHING THAT THROW THIS THING ALL THE
WAY BACK?
08:02:45PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I THINK WE PROBABLY SHOULD WAIT FOR THE
APPLICANT ON THAT ONE.
08:02:48PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I WAS CURIOUS FROM THE STAFF'S
PERSPECTIVE, IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED.
08:02:54PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
I WOULD SAY IF IT INVOLVES RECONFIGURATION
OF THE BUILDING AND IF WE ARE LOOKING AT GROUND UNITS OR
SOMETHING THAT WOULD INVOLVE STAFF TO THOROUGHLY LOOK AT A
RECONFIGURATION OR A CHANGE IN THE LAYOUT OF THE BUILDING,
WOULD SAY WE WOULD NEED -- WE WOULD NEED ADDITIONAL TIME AND
LIKELY A DRC REVIEW.
08:03:14PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:

08:03:21PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?
APPLICANT.
I AM VERY SORRY.
I HAVE MY LIST.
I SHOULD SIMPLY BE FOLLOWING IT AND I AM NOT.
PLANNING COMMISSION.
08:03:31PM >>QUINN STEELE:
THANK YOU, QUINN STEELE, PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF.
THIS SITE IS WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT IN
THE JACKSON HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT IS IN EVACUATION ZONE E.
SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED IN PURPLE AND TWO FUTURE LAND USE
DEGREES NATION.
COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 IN PINK AND RED.
SUPPORTS RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL AND MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT.
SITE FRONT EAST COLUMBUS DRIVE WHICH IS A TRANSIT EMPHASIS
CORRIDOR.
SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ARE LOCATED TO THE NORTH AND EAST.
IN THE FUTURE, THE TAMPA INNOVATION CENTER WILL BE WEST.
AND I-4 IS DIRECTLY SOUTH.
A MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CONSISTENT WITH
THE CMU-35.
PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FOUND IT
APPROPRIATE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT WITH I-4 TO THE SOUTH AND
SINGLE-FAMILY TO THE NORTH.
BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING, THE APPLICANT AGREED TO
ADD A MARKED CROSSWALK.
ALSO STAFF NOTES THAT VEHICLE MOVEMENTS AND SERVICE
FUNCTIONS ARE CONCENTRATED IN THE CENTER OF THE SITE
WHERE ADDITIONAL PEDESTRIAN FEATURES COULD FURTHER IMPROVE
PEDESTRIAN SAFETY.
ALSO AGREED TO INCORPORATE ARCHITECTURAL SCREENING OR
TREATMENT ALONG OPEN AIR PARKING SUPPORTING POLICIES OF
PARKING TO BE SCREEN IN THE PUBLIC REALM.
OVERALL, IT WILL PROVIDE INFILL HOUSING IN TRANSIT AND
EMPLOYMENTS OPTIONS AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY
QUESTIONS.
08:05:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION?
SEEING NONE.
APPLICANT.
08:05:16PM >> ELISE BATSEL, STEARNS, WEAVER AND MILLER.
CATE WELLS WAS BRINGING UP AN ISSUE WITH THE LEGAL
DESCRIPTION.
CAN I HAVE ONE MOMENT TO CONFER WITH HER?
08:05:28PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.
08:05:28PM >> THANK YOU.
08:05:29PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WHILE THEY ARE CONFERRING, ANYONE WHO HAS
COME IN THAT NEEDS TO BE SWORN, IF YOU COULD PLEASE STAND
AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.
[SWEARING IN]
08:06:23PM >> I DO.
08:06:24PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.
A GOOD USE OF TIME.
APPRECIATE YOU.
08:06:27PM >> STEARNS -- ELISE BATSEL, STEARNS, WEAVER, MILLER.
IT APPEARS FROM A LEGAL DESCRIPTION PERSPECTIVE, WE ARE
GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO FIRST READING AT ANOTHER HEARING
BECAUSE THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION ATTACHED TO THE PD ORDINANCE
THAT YOU ARE REVIEWING MAY BE INCORRECT.
08:06:44PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
MR. SHELBY, WOULD IT BE APPROPRIATE NOW FOR COUNCIL TO TALK
ABOUT SOME OF THE CONCERNS THEY HAVE WITH THIS PROJECT?
08:06:59PM >> WE ARE HAPPY TO PRESENT FULLY, IF YOU WOULD LIKE.
08:07:01PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I KNOW COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN HAS SOME
ISSUES.
I HAVE SOME ISSUES.
IN ORDER TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAVING TO GO BACK FURTHER, I
KNOW THAT COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG HAD SOME QUESTIONS.
CAN YOU GIVE A VERY ABBREVIATED PRESENTATION SO THAT YOU CAN
TAKE THE COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS SO THAT THEY MAY CAN BE
FIXED IN BETWEEN --
08:07:27PM >> YES.
08:07:27PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I AM TRYING TO HAVE A NICE BALANCE HERE.
MR. SHELBY, THAT APPROPRIATE.
08:07:33PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE EVIDENCE
IF THERE IS NO OBJECTION BY THE COUNCIL.
08:07:38PM >> I HAVE A PRESENTATION, AND I WILL GO VERY QUICKLY AND
EQUIP SLIDES.
08:07:42PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THAT WILL BE GREAT.
08:07:44PM >> YOU KNOW WHERE THIS PROPERTY IS.
I WILL SKIP THE FUTURE LAND USE AND ZONING AND THE
PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP.
THIS IS 118 AFFORDABLE UNIT.
JUST FOR THE RECORD, 20% OF THOSE ARE 50% AMI OR LOWER AND
ALL OF UNITS ARE 80% AMI OR LOWER, AND THIS SITE HAS A NUMBER
OF REALLY IMPORTANT SITE CONSTRAINTS, SO I THINK A NUMBER OF
YOUR QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS ARE GOING TO RELATE TO SOME OF
THE SITE CONSTRAINTS.
I AM GOING TO QUICKLY MOVE FORWARD WITH THOSE FOR YOUR
BENEFIT.
THERE IS A -- THERE WAS A BIG CONCERN OF TREE PRESERVATION.
YOU CAN SEE THE TREES THAT ARE PRESERVED AND THE TWO BIG
CLUSTERS AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER, A 44-INCH LIVE OAK AND A
31-INCH LIVE OAK AT THE NORTHWEST AND A 22-INCH LIVE OAK.
THERE IS ALSO SIGNIFICANT SANITARY SEWER LINES IN PURPLE
THAT YOU SEE THERE.
THE GRAVITY SEWER SYSTEM FLOWS DIRECTLY SOUTH.
WHAT IS INTERESTING IS THAT THERE IS A PREMANUFACTURED
STORMWATER SYSTEM.
AND THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO BUILD A BUILDING
ON TOP OF THAT.
SO WE HAVE THE TREE PRESERVATION.
WE HAVE AN ODD SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM AND A STORMWATER SYSTEM
-- STORMWATER VAULT THAT CAN'T BE BUILT ON TOP OF.
OUR GEOTECHNICAL REPORT DISCOVERED AN ANOMALY.
AFTER WE DID OUR DUE DILIGENCE, WE DISCOVERED A LARGE
ANOMALY IN AREA THAT IS A WHITE CIRCLE.
THAT IS UNSUITABLE FOR A BUILDING AREA.
WE HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE EAST TAMPA OVERLAY DISTRICT
DESIGN.
FRONT DOORS HAVE TO BE TOWARD FRONT YARD.
SURFACE PARKING IN REAR AND THE SIDE.
SO DIFFERENT SETBACKS APPLY TO THIS PROPERTY.
YOU TAKE ALL OF THOSE THINGS CUMULATIVELY, THERE IS REALLY
NO OTHER WAY ON THIS PROPERTY TO CONFIGURE THIS SITE TO
DELIVER THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS THAT WERE PROMISED IN
THE RFP AND MAKE THIS SITE WORK EFFECTIVELY.
SO THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WAIVERS.
REALLY QUICK, I WILL GO THROUGH THOSE IN CASE YOU HAVE
QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE.
WE ARE ASKING FOR A PARKING REDUCTION FROM 198 TO 120
PARKING SPACES.
THAT IS 1.01 DWELLING UNITS.
THE PARKING -- WE HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE PARKING STUDY AND IT
DOES SAY THAT IS AN APPROPRIATE AMOUNT.
I WANT TO NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A LIVE LOCAL ACT PROJECT.
YOUR LIVE LOCAL ACT AFFORDABLE REQUIREMENT IS .8 SPACES PER
UNIT.
WE ARE GIVING YOU THAT 1.01 SPACES JUST FOR YOUR
INFORMATION.
THE SAME WITH GREEN SPACE.
WE ARE ASKING FOR A GREEN SPACE WAIVER, BUT YOUR NEW LIVE
LOCAL STANDARD REQUIRES 100 SQUARE FEET PER UNIT.
WE ARE PROVIDING 194 SQUARE FEET.
SO, YOU KNOW, THIS PROVIDES THE CODE REQUIREMENT.
THE LIVE LOCAL STANDARD AND, OF COURSE, WHAT WE ARE
PROVIDING FOR THE PROJECT.
FROM A TREE RETENTION PERSPECTIVE, WE ARE REMOVING FOUR
NONHAZARDOUS GRAND TREES.
THAT IS THAT CLUSTER.
AS WE DISCUSSED BETWEEN THE UNIQUE SITE CONSTRAINTS, THE
GEOGRAPHICAL ANOMALY AND EAST TAMPA OVERLAY DISTRICT, WE DID
HAVE TO REMOVE CERTAIN TREES.
THE LOADING SPACE BERTH REDUCTION, WE HAVE CHANGED THE SIZE
OF IT SO IT IS A WAIVER, BUT IT IS MORE THAN SUFFICIENT FOR
THE MOVE-IN, MOVE-OUT TRUCKS FOR THE TWO UNIT APARTMENT THAT
ARE AVAILABLE.
WE MAY SOME SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE PLAN TO ADDRESS STAFF
CONCERNS.
WE ADDED THE ADDITION OF AN ADDITIONAL FOUR REPLACEMENT
TREES OVER WHAT IS REQUIRED BY CODE.
WE PROVIDED -- YOU SEE THE DARK AREA ALONG COLUMBUS TO
THE NORTH AND YALE TO THE EAST.
WE PROVIDED SIGNIFICANTLY ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING AT STAFF'S
REQUEST.
WE ADDED TYPE 2 TREE ALONG YALE STREET AS WELL.
WE ADDED DIFFERENT PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY AREAS WITHIN THE
SITE.
YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THESE AREAS IN RED THAT LEAD TO THE
CIRCLED AREA THAT ARE ACTUALLY ENTRANCES TO THE SITE,
INCLUDING ALONG THE EASTERN BOUNDARY.
YOU WILL SEE THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL INTERNAL SIDEWALK AS
WELL AS THE EXTERIOR SIDEWALKS.
AND FINAL THING THAT WE DID TO ADDRESS STAFF CONCERNS IS
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF IN PARTICULAR WAS CONCERNED THAT
THE AREA OF THE PODIUM THAT YOU ARE SEEING FROM COLUMBUS
AVENUE WALLS OPEN AND PEOPLE WALKING BY COULD SEE THE CARS
UNDERNEATH.
WE AGREED TO A CONDITION THAT WOULD REQUIRE US TO USE SOME
KIND OF SCREENING MATERIAL SO YOU DIDN'T SEE THE CARS.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ACCEPTED PRINCIPLES THAT WE
INCORPORATED IN OUR PLAN.
WE MET WITH A SEPTIC OFFICER AND TALKED WITH HIM AND
INCORPORATED THOSE THAT WERE REQUIRED BY THE EAST TAMPA
OVERLAY DISTRICT.
AND WE WILL STOP THERE.
THANK YOU.
08:12:54PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY, QUESTIONS.
COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
08:12:58PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WELL, I APPRECIATE THE EFFORT PUT INTO
THIS.
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT, BUT I ALSO
UNDERSTAND THAT THE CITY IS INVESTING A LOT OF MONEY IN
THIS AS WELL.
I THINK TRYING TO FIND THE BEST-CASE SCENARIO.
THAT IS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO LEAD IN -- LEAD YOU IN ON
TOMORROW OF MY RELUCTANCE OF THIS.
INTEGRATION OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD.
YOU KNOW, OUR EXPECTATION, NOW THAT IS IN THE EAST TAMPA
OVERLAY, THAT WE ARE BUILDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
I THINK HAVING THAT GARAGE -- JUST LIKE WE TALK ABOUT THE
GARAGES AND THESE DEAD SPACES.
AND, AGAIN, A SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD ACROSS THE WAY.
JUST A LINE OF STUDIO APARTMENTS, TO REDUCE THE PARKING
WAIVER TO GET DOWN TO WHAT YOU ARE TALKING THE LIVE LOCAL
LEVEL.
STUDIO PERFORMANCE OR SOMETHING THERE THAT WERE STREET-FACING
UNIONS, RESIDENTIAL UNITS THAT WOULD PROVIDE, AGAIN, A SENSE
OF COMMUNITY OPPOSE $TO THIS JUST BEING SEGREGATED
WALLED-OFF COMPLEX THAT WHAT IS NOT WORKING IN ORCHESTRATION
WITH THE REST -- WITH THE REST OF YEAR.
BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT I AM SEEING.
I AM SEEING A VERY SUBURBAN WALLED-OFF BUILDING NOT
INTEGRATED WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD STANDING ALONE.
AND THAT IS MY CONCERN.
THE OTHER STUFF THAT YOU SAID MISS BATSEL.
I GET IT.
I GET THE RESTRAINT WITH THE SEWER SYSTEM AND THE TREE ISSUE
YOU ARE DEALING WITH.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE -- ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS ON COLUMBUS.
A BIG TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR AND, AGAIN, ALL SINGLE-FAMILY
ACROSS THE STREET.
I THINK WE CAN DO BETTER DOWN THERE ON THAT GARAGE LEVEL.
AND THEN LANDSCAPE SCREENING DOES NOTHING BUT -- EVEN YOUR
ARTIFICIAL LANDSCAPING.
08:14:53PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
MISS BATSEL, YOU TALKED OF SOME OF THE
CONSTRAINTS.
SINCE CITY COUNCIL IS NOT INVOLVED WITH RFPs.
WHAT WAS THE REQUIREMENT WITH THE RFP AND THE PROPOSAL
EXPECTED.
08:15:09PM >> I WILL LET KAREEM BRANTLEY WHO IS THE DEVELOPER WHO WENT
THROUGH THAT PROCESS WITH THE CITY ADDRESS THAT FOR YOU.
08:15:16PM >> GOOD EVENING.
KAREEM BRANTLEY WITH THE DEVELOPER FOR THE PROBABLY.
WE HAVE OFFICES IN EAST TAMPA -- SORRY IN YBOR ON EAST 7th
IN TAMPA HERE AS WELL AS SOUTH FLORIDA.
MAY I HAVE THE QUESTION, AND HE CAN TRY TO ANSWER IT.
08:15:42PM >>BILL CARLSON:
MISS BATSEL TALKED OF THE PHYSICAL
CONSTRAINTS BUT WITH THE RFP AND NUMBER TWO, BASED ON YOUR
SPECIFIC PROPOSAL FOR THE CITY.
THE NUMBER OF UNITS IS REQUIRED -- WHAT ARE YOU REQUIRED TO
DO BY THE CITY?
08:15:57PM >> SO WE PROPOSED WE WILL DO THE 118 UNITS FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING.
ONE CONDITIONS FROM THE CITY THAT'S 20% OF THE UNITS -- AT
LEAST 20% OF THE UNITS BE AT 50% AMI OR AREA MEDIAN INCOME
OR BELOW.
WE HAD NUMEROUS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MEETINGS AND WE STILL
HAVE MORE TO GO.
WE WILL NOT DO SOMETHING WITHOUT PRESENTING OUR PLAN EVEN
WHEN IT TAKES SHAPES WITH THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT DRAWING.
ULTIMATELY AT THE END OF THE DAY THE REQUIREMENTS FOR
THE CRA AS WELL AS THE CITY REQUIRED US TO DO COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT CAME UP WITH THE 118-UNIT PLAN AND PRESENTED THAT
TO THE CITY IN RESPONSE TO THE RFP.
WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS THE RESULTS OF THAT -- OF THAT
REQUIREMENT.
08:16:47PM >>BILL CARLSON:
JUST A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION, MAYBE.
EITHER YOU OR MISS BATSEL.
SHE TALKED ABOUT THE SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WAS
UNDERNEATH AND ALSO THAT ANOMALY WHICH WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT
IS.
WAS THE CITY AWARE OF THOSE THINGS?
08:17:04PM >> NO.
08:17:04PM >>BILL CARLSON:
ARE THEY CITY FACILITIES THAT COULD BE
MOVED?
OR WHAT IF IN YOUR DISCUSSION WITH THE REQUEST, ARE THERE ANY
OTHER POSSIBILITIES ON WHAT TO DO WITH THAT?
08:17:18PM >> WITH RESPECT TO THE ANOMALY?
IT IS AN ANOMALY.
I WON'T CALL IT A SINKHOLE.
08:17:25PM >> IT IS A VOID.
08:17:26PM >> IT IS A VOID AND THE GEOTECHNICAL SAID THAT AREA IN THE
PROTECTED RADIUS SHOULD NOT HAVE A BUILDING ON TOP OF IT.
A FURTHER CONSTRAINT.
WITH RESPECT TO RELOCATING OUR SEWER.
OUR ENGINEER JOHN EVELAN IS HERE.
BUT WE HAVE WORKED WITH THE CITY AND FDOT TAPPING INTO SOME
OF THE FDOT THERE.
JOHN, IF YOU WANT TO TALK MORE SPECIFICALLY, BUT THAT
LOCATION IS THE RELOCATED AREA GIVEN ALL THE OTHER ISSUES.
SO WE HAVE WORKED THROUGH THOSE ISSUES FROM AN ENGINEERING
PERSPECTIVE.
08:18:02PM >> YEAH, HE CAN SPEAK TO IT.
JOHN EVELAN WITH STAN TECH.
777 SOUTH HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD.
THE REASON WE HAVE TO RELOCATE THE SEWER BECAUSE IT IS
CURRENTLY RUNNING DOWN 15TH STREET.
GOES DOWN 1st AND 15TH.
LARGE 18-INCH TRUNK LINE THAT SERVES MAJORITY OF THE
NEIGHBORHOODS TO THE NORTH.
AND WE ARE PUTTING THE BUILDING RIGHT OFF 15th RIGHT AFTER
WE VACATE IT.
BUILDING HAS TO COME DOWN THROUGH THERE AND ROUTE THE SEWER
ARM THE BUILDING.
08:18:33PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
REPEAT YOUR NAME.
08:18:37PM >> JOHN EVELAN WITH STAN TECH.
DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?
08:18:44PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I THINK PROCEDURALLY MISS BATSEL, LEGAL SAID
WE HAVE TO CONTINUE THIS.
08:18:49PM >> CATE BROUGHT UP THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION -- OUR STAFF WAS
DEALING WITH THE CITY STAFF, WE DIDN'T TOUCH BASE ON THAT.
AND WE THINK THERE IS POTENTIALLY A PROBLEM WITH THE LEGAL
DESCRIPTION ATTACHED TO THE ORDINANCE.
WE DON'T WANT TO MOVE FORWARD AND HAVE IT INCORRECT BECAUSE
WE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK TO YOU AGAIN.
08:19:10PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANYTHING ELSE?
08:19:12PM >>BILL CARLSON:
SHOULD WE GET LEGAL.
08:19:13PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WE HAVE MORE QUESTIONS.
COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG.
08:19:17PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
WELL, ONE, I THINK IT IS GREAT FOR EAST TAMPA
ESPECIALLY WITH THE INNOVATION CENTER BEING NEXT TO IT.
I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE VERY GREAT.
BUT ALSO WITH THE CITY INVESTING, YOU KNOW, $9 MILLION, I
THINK, YOU KNOW, WE SHOULD TO OUR BEST TO DO THE BEST THAT
WE CAN.
I WILL BE HONEST, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND AS FAR AS THE
CONSTRAINTS.
I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE TREES.
I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND, BUT I IT SHALL THAT PART REALLY
-- YOU KNOW, WE -- WE HAVE A HABIT HERE -- NOT WE HAVE A
HABIT HERE, BUT IN OUR CONSTRUCTION, INSTEAD OF THINKING OF
OUR TREES, IT IS HOW WE MOVE AROUND THEM.
WE SOMETIMES KIND OF DISPOSE OF THEM, AND I UNDERSTAND FROM THE
PRESENTATION WHY.
BUT I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT.
I JUST HAVE TO STATE THAT.
I THINK ALSO, TOO, TOP COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN'S POINT, THE
TRANSITION FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO -- YOU KNOW, TO THE
HOUSING.
I THINK IT IS SOMETHING THAT BE SHOULD REALLY CONSIDER.
YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I'M NOT AN ARCHITECT, AND I DON'T KNOW
WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE SOMETHING TO CONSIDER TO HAVE
DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES.
MAYBE IT IS SOME -- CAN WE DO WALK-UP UNITS ON COLUMBUS OR
JUST SOMETHING SO THAT IT KIND OF FITS INTO THE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
BECAUSE THERE ARE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ACROSS THE STREET.
MAYBE THAT IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.
AND ALSO I DIDN'T SEE -- WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT THE -- AT THE
SITE PLAN, THE -- THE WALKWAYS.
IS IT -- IS IT JUST THE FIVE NUMBERS OR GOING TO BE THE
WIDE.
BECAUSE I SAW ON THE -- ON THE PROJECT, IT HAD THE WIDE
PUBLIC WALKWAYS.
ARE THEY GOING TO BE WIDE?
OR THE FIVE.
BECAUSE THE FIVE IS STANDARD WITH THE CODE, YES.
08:21:16PM >> YEAH, THESE WILL BE NON --
08:21:23PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YOU HAVE TO STATE YOUR NAME AGAIN.
08:21:25PM >> KAREEM BRANTLEY.
THE SIDEWALKS HERE ARE DESIGNED TO BE MUCH BROADER.
THEY ARE DESIGNED TO BASICALLY HAVE MORE ACTIVITY AT THE
SIDEWALK LEVEL.
SO IF PEOPLE ARE PASSING BY, IF YOU WERE ROLLING A CARRIAGE,
IF SOMETHING -- IF CHILDREN ARE PLAYING IN THE PARK AREA IN
FRONT OF THE BUILDING, IT DOESN'T CONSTRAIN THE AREA SO
MUCH.
IF YOU LOOK AT COLUMBUS DRIVE, ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANT TO
DO IS ACTIVATE THE AREA.
WE HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS GIVING LIFE TO THE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
CREATING DISTANCE FROM THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ACROSS THE
STREET.
WHEN YOU REALLY LOOK AT THIS PROBABLY, ONE OF THE THINGS WE
WANTED TO BE THOUGHTFUL ABOUT, THAT THE CONTEXT OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD IS NOT INTERRUPTED SO MUCH THAT WE HAVE THIS
BIG EYESORE BUILDING RELATIVE TO THE HOMES.
JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA WHAT I MEAN FROM THAT.
IF YOU LOOK FROM THE SOUTHEAST, YOU HAVE THE BUILDING PUSHED
BACK AND ALL THE AREA IS OPEN FOR THAT AREA ON THE EAST
SIDE.
YOU LOOK THE BUILDING IN CONTEXT OF HEIGHT.
I AM A LITTLE OVER SIX FEET.
THIS BUILDING TO THE HIGHEST HABITABLE FLOOR IS 48 FEET.
IF YOU LOOK AT THAT, IT IS EIGHT OF ME JUST STACKED ON TOP OF
EACH OTHER.
SO WE -- WE ALSO WANT TO DO THAT IN THE CONTEXT WHERE WE ARE
NOT MAKING THE INTERIOR LIVING OF THE UNITS SO CRAMPED.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT BACK IN THE DAYS, YOU USED TO HAVE
7'4" INCH ABOVE FINISHED FLOOR AND WAS DONE BEFORE ALL
REQUIREMENTS FOR FRESH AIR AND SOFFITS THAT HAD TO REACH TO
THE OUTSIDE.
WE HAVE BEEN THOUGHTFUL HOW WE DESIGN THE BUILDING SUCH THAT
THE INTERIOR LIVING IS RESPECTED AND ALSO THE EXTERIOR OF
THE BUILDING IS RESPECTED TO THE COMMUNITY SO WE ARE NOT
BUILDING OUT OF SCALE.
THE WAY IT IS SITUATED ON THE SITE WITH THE E-TECH TO THE
WEST.
YOU HAVE A SITUATION WHERE NOTHING IS STARING ON TOP OF
NEIGHBORING HOUSES.
BIG SET-BACK ON THE BASE OF COLUMBUS.
LARGE SETBACK ON EAST.
THE EAST WILL BE HIGHWAY AND THE SOUTH WILL BE THE E-TECH.
WE TAKE THAT HEART.
IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE EXTERIOR IS FINAL.
THOSE CAN BE WORKED ON AND THOSE ARE MORE AESTHETIC THINGS
TO DO.
08:23:48PM >> IF YOU CAN PUT THE OVERHEAD ON.
I WOULD LIKE TO POINT TO THAT.
WE ORIGINALLY HAD A LOT OF PARKING AREAS SKETCHED OUT
HERE, BUT WE WERE SO CONSTRAINED ON GREEN PEACE THAT WE TOOK
THE HARDSCAPE AWAY.
IF CITY COUNCIL WILL LIKE TO SEE THAT REIMPLEMENTED, WE CAN
CERTAINLY DO THAT.
OBVIOUSLY OUR GREEN SPACE WAIVER WOULD BE BIGGER THAN IT IS
NOW.
08:24:17PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY TO OTHER QUESTIONS?
08:24:25PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
NO.
08:24:26PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I AM GOING TO GO AHEAD AND ECHO WHAT THEY
SAID.
IF YOU CAN LEAVE THAT ON THE OVERHEAD.
AND CCTV -- YES, THANK YOU.
IT LOOK LIKE THERE IS MAYBE A DOZEN PARKING SPACES THERE
THAT WE CAN TURN INTO FRONT-FACING UNITS.
BECAUSE WITH -- WITH THE CENTER THAT IS GOING NEXT DOOR,
THIS WILL BE A WALKABLE NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND IF YOU PUT A WALL THERE AN GREENERY, THAT IS NOT -- THAT
IS NOT ADDING TO THE WALKABLE FEEL.
I ECHO COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
I WILL BE FINE -- PARKING WAIVER DOESN'T BOTHER ME
YOU BETWEEN GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE LIVE LOCAL PARKING
WAIVER.
BUT THIS REALLY -- THIS NEEDS TO BE -- YES, IT IS SUBURBAN.
SCREAMS SUBURBIA.
I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM ALSO WITH THE GREEN SPACE WAIVER IF
WE ARE HAVING MORE ACT VAGUE AT FRONT.
SIDEWALK.
EVEN A HARDSCAPE WITH A PATIO WITH SEATING.
SOMETHING TO CONNECTS IT TO THE STREET AND WHY I WANTED TO
HAVE THIS CONVERSATION SO YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO COME BACK.
BECAUSE WE CLEARLY SEE THIS AND SEVERAL OF US ARE SAYING THE
SAME THING.
THIS IS CITY OF TAMPA.
THIS IS A JEWEL FOR US.
WE ARE PUTTING A LOT OF MONEY INTO THIS AS WELL.
AND I KNOW -- AND WE WANT TO -- ANYTHING THAT WE PUT OUR
MONEY INTO, WE WANT -- WE WANT IT TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE
CAN POINT TO OTHERS AND SAY, WE ARE DOING WHAT YOU ARE
ASKING US -- WHAT WE ARE ASKING OF OTHERS.
SO THIS IS -- FOR ME THIS IS A DEAL BREAKER TO NOT HAVE A
WALKABLE CONNECTIVITY TO COLUMBUS AVENUE.
08:26:17PM >> CLARIFICATION THAT THE UNITS ARE NOT ON THE GROUND FLOOR.
08:26:24PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WALKABLE.
ONLY ON COLUMBUS.
DOESN'T HAVE TO HAVE MANY MORE.
I KNOW THAT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGE THE OUTCOMES BUT WHAT
YOU ARE HEARING FROM AT LEAST SEVERAL OF US THAT WE WILL BE
WILLING TO TAKE A FURTHER PARKING WAIVER FOR IT.
WE CAN -- IF YOU ARE SHOWING SOME GREEN SPACE AMENITY OR
SOME OUTDOOR AMENITY FOR THE RESIDENTS.
THAT IS FINE.
ALSO, IT WILL BE GREAT TO KNOW HOW CLOSE PUBLIC PARKS ARE IF
YOU BRING THAT FORWARD NECK TIME THERE ARE BUILDING SPACE
NEXT DOOR, WILL THERE BE ANY GREEN SPACE ACCOMMODATED IN
THAT.
HOW WILL THESE TWO THINGS INTERACT WITH ONE ANOTHER.
EVEN IF WE DON'T HAVE A FULL RENDERING, THAT IS FINE.
WHAT ARE WE ENVISIONING?
HOW ARE WE ENVISIONING THE TWO INTERACTING?
HOW DO WE ENVISION THIS BUILDING INTERACTING WITH NEIGHBORS
ACROSS THE STREET.
I DON'T THINK WE ARE CONCERNED OF THE HEIGHT -- THE
NEIGHBORS ARE WILL BE LOOKING AT I-4.
ANYTHING THAT YOU PUT THERE IS NICER THAN THEY ARE SEEING
RIGHT NOW.
THAT IS NOT A CONCERN FOR ME.
I THINK I CAN SPEAK FOR OTHERS AS WELL.
WE JUST -- YOU KNOW, UNITS -- THE HEIGHT DOESN'T BOTHER ME.
IF YOU NEED TO GO HIGHER I DON'T A PROBLEM THAT IS JUST ME.
I AM SPEAKING FOR MYSELF.
IF YOU NEED IT TO GO HIGHER.
I WANT IT TO FIT IN.
WALKABLE UNIT ON COLUMBUS.
HOWEVER THAT CAN HAPPEN.
MORE USABLE GREEN SPACE AGAIN.
MAKE IT MORE -- LESS -- LESS SUBURBAN.
MORE URBAN.
08:27:58PM >> ALL RIGHT.
RECEIVED.
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, IF I MAY RESPOND.
IT IS ON ME.
I DID NOT WANT TO HAVE THE UNITS ALONG COLUMBUS.
AND I WILL ONLY TELL YOU WHY -- I WILL ONLY TELL YOU WHY.
ONE OF THE CONCERNS I HAVE -- AND, AGAIN, WE ARE ALWAYS
TRYING TO BALANCE -- IS THAT THOSE RESIDENTS THAT WILL LIVE
ALONG COLUMBUS WILL BE A LITTLE BIT MORE ISOLATED FROM THE
REST OF THE COMMUNITY IN THE BUILDING.
WE LOOK AT THE AMENITIES IN THE BUILDING LIKE THE BODEGA,
IF YOU WERE IN YOUR EVENING WEAR AND YOU WANT TO GO TO
THE ELEVATOR AND GO TO THE BODEGA AND SHOOT A LITTLE POOL,
YOU PROBABLY CAN'T DO THAT DEPENDING ON YOUR GENDER.
YOU HAVE TO WALK OUTSIDE, WALK AROUND AND DO THAT.
I HAD A CONCERN ABOUT RESIDENTS HAVING TO DO THAT.
SO IF WE ARE COMFORTABLE WITH DOING THAT, I WILL CERTAINLY
CHANGE, BUT IT WAS DONE OUT OF A THOUGHT OF THOSE RESIDENTS
BEING EXCLUDED AND SEPARATED FROM THE LARGER COMMUNITY
WITHIN THE BUILDING, AND I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS THE RIGHT
THING TO DO, BUT I AM WILLING TO FALL ON MY SWORD AND PUT THE
UNIT IN KNOWING THAT THOSE UNITS, THREE, FOUR UNITS,
WHATEVER IT WILL BE TO FILL THAT GAP WILL NOT HAVE THE SAME
ACCESS TO THE AMENITIES THAT THE OTHER RESIDENTS WILL HAVE
IN THE BUILDING.
08:29:25PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
BUT THEY WILL STILL HAVE ACCESS.
08:29:28PM >> IT WILL BE A MORE DIFFICULT ACCESS.
08:29:32PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I WILL SAY THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN AN
APARTMENT COMPLEX THAT WOULD WANT THAT PRIVACY AND NOT WANT
THAT CONNECTIVITY.
I THINK THERE IS A WAY.
MISS BATSEL KNOWS AS SHE HAS BEEN WATCHING US SO LONG.
THESE ARE THE KIND OF THINGS THAT WE ARE ENCOURAGING TO
TRY TO DEVELOP A THEME AROUND URBAN DESIGN AND URBAN.
TRYING TO TRADITION FROM A SUBURBAN TO URBAN.
WE ARE ASKING FOR THOSE.
SO MISS BATSEL, YOU WERE RIGHT ON TARGET.
I AM GOING TO ALLOW COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO.
ANYTHING?
08:30:09PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SURE.
THANK YOU FOR KEEPING AN OPEN MIND.
WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR AN EXCEPTIONAL PRODUCT.
IT IS AN EXCEPTIONAL PRODUCT.
IT IS A BARREN LANDSCAPE.
AS WAS MENTIONED, THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE INTERSTATE.
THE INTERSTATE WAS VERY DESTRUCTIVE BECAUSE IT DIVIDED
NEIGHBORHOOD.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE COMMUNITY DESERVES AND SOMETHING
THAT WE NEED.
YOU TALK OF THE 80% AND BELOW AMI.
AND THEN EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING TO BE BUILT AROUND IT.
IT IS GOING TO BE COMMUNITY-FRIENDLY, PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY.
THERE IS A LOT OF POSITIVES.
I LOVE THE PROPERTY.
A COUPLE OF CHANGES.
YOU HEARD THE CONCERNS OF EVERYBODY.
I HAVEN'T SPOKEN UNTIL NOW.
I THINK IT IS WONDERFUL, BUT, AGAIN, IT SEEMS THAT YOU ARE
RECEPTIVE, YOU KNOW, TO WHAT WE SAID, AND WE APPRECIATE
THAT.
AS WE CONTINUE FORWARD, I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE A WORTHY
PARTNERSHIP THAT WE WILL ALL BE VERY, VERY PROUD OF.
THANK YOU, SIR.
08:31:09PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
08:31:12PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THANK YOU.
MAYBE ON A TECHNICALITY, WE HAVE TO DELAY THIS.
BUT THANK YOU FOR BEING OPEN-MINDED TO DO THIS.
I FEEL BAD TO SOME EXTENT.
MAYBE SOME OF US CAN GIVE WHOEVER IN THE CITY DOING RFPs
CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK.
IT WILL BE GREAT TO BUT THIS CRITERIA INTO THE RFP.
MAYBE THEY SHOULD TAKE FEEDBACK FROM CITY COUNCIL AND
GENERAL REZONING SO YOU HAVE EXPECTATION OF THAT TOO.
ONCE THIS PROJECT IS OVER, MAYBE WE CAN TALK OF WHAT THE
MOST EFFECTIVE WAY OF DOING IT IS.
I WISH YOU COULD GET THAT KIND OF FEEDBACK AND REQUIREMENTS
AND EXPECTATIONS IN ADVANCE SO YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO COME
BACK AGAIN.
THANK YOU.
08:31:55PM >> WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK.
IT WILL BE A BETTER PROJECT.
08:32:00PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
GREAT.
SO WE NEED A -- DO WE HAVE A DATE, STAFF?
08:32:09PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
IF YOU DON'T MIND, I NEED TO COORDINATE
WITH THE APPLICANT -- CHRIS DEMANCHE, LAND DEVELOPMENT
COORDINATION.
I WOULD LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH THE APPLICANT
BECAUSE WE HAVE TO LOOK AT TIMEFRAMES WHEN THEY CAN
RESUBMIT FOR US TO BEGIN A REVIEW.
WE HAVE OPENINGS IN THE MONTH AHEAD BUT WOULD DEPEND ON
THEIR TIMELINE AND THEIR ABILITY TO TURN AROUND.
08:32:31PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
FIVE MINUTES.
OKAY.
WE ARE IN RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES.
WE WILL COME BACK AT 8:40.
08:32:39PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK --

COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA IS HERE, AND HE WILL BE BACK.
08:51:31PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR, CHRIS DEMANCHE.
DURING THE BREAK WE TALKED TO THE APPLICANT AND THEIR TEAM
TO TALK ABOUT DEADLINES.
WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO IS COME BACK FOR A FIRST READING
IN MONTH OF FEBRUARY.
CURRENTLY, FEBRUARY IS FULL, SO WE WILL HAVE TO ASK COUNCIL TO
ALLOW THEM TO BE ADDED TO THAT AGENDA.
THE GOAL -- THE TIMELINE WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT FOR THEM TO
GET TO FEBRUARY AND BACK BEFORE YOU.
THEY WOULD BE RESUBMITTING A REVISED PLAN BASED ON THE
FEEDBACK THEY RECEIVED TONIGHT.
THEY WOULD HAVE A DRC WITH STAFF, EITHER ON JANUARY 20 OR
21.
WITHIN A WEEK'S TIME, WE WOULD BE RESUBMITTING TO US, AND
THAT WILL KEEP US ON TRACK TO GO TO FEBRUARY FOR A NEW FIRST
READING.
08:52:41PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ADDITIONALLY, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS?
ANYTHING ELSE?
COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG.
08:52:54PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO DO A
CONTINUANCE.
08:52:58PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES, THEY ARE.
08:52:59PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO REITERATE THE IMPORTANCE
OF MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE INCLUDING WHAT IS IN THE PROJECT
PROPOSAL.
YOU KNOW, THE -- THE LANGUAGE AT THE TOP THAT WE HAVE OUR
COMPUTER LOUNGE.
THE FITNESS CENTER.
THE OUTDOOR SPACE THAT WILL HAVE THE WIDE PUBLIC WALKWAYS.
DEDICATED ENTERTAINMENT AREAS.
BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEE WHAT THE DEDICATED ENTERTAINMENT AREAS
OUTSIDE WILL BE.
SO I WANT TO BE SURE THAT WHATEVER COMES BACK, THAT IN
ADDITION TO COMMENTS THAT WE HAD UP HERE, THAT WE MAKE SURE
WE PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT IS ACTUALLY IN OUR PROPOSED PROJECT
AGREEMENT.
08:53:41PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ATTORNEY SHELBY.
08:53:45PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY.
JUST A QUESTION OF PROCESS.
IS THIS GOING TO BE RESET AND RESCHEDULED AND RENOTICED.
JUST A CONTINUANCE FROM TONIGHT TO THE NEXT MEETING.
08:53:59PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
FEBRUARY 12.
08:54:01PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
THANK YOU.
08:54:04PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
WE NEED APPROVAL TO COUNCIL.
08:54:07PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
THAT WOULD BE A WAIVER TO ALLOW THAT.
08:54:10PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
IF I COULD, CAN I JUST REITERATE SOME OF
ITEMS WE ARE ASKING OF THE APPLICANT IN THEIR REVISION.
WE WANT WALKABILITY CONNECTIVITY TO EAST COLUMBUS.
THAT WAS DISCUSSED.
WALK-UP UNITS ALONG EAST COLUMBUS AND MAKE THE SITE ITSELF
FEEL MORE URBAN, NOT SUBURBAN WITH -- WITH THE WAY IT
CURRENTLY IS.
AND IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND, CAN WE GET THE APPLICANT STATE ON
RECORD THEY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THOSE CHANGES.
08:54:44PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.
08:54:47PM >> YES, FOR THE RECORD, ELISE BATSEL, STEARNS, WEAVER,
MILLER.
WE UNDERSTAND THOSE CHANGES AND PLAN TO INCORPORATE THEM IN
THE NEXT HEARING BEFORE CITY COUNCIL.
08:54:59PM >>BILL CARLSON:
MOVE TO CONTINUE.
08:55:02PM >> SECOND.
08:55:03PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WE HAVE TO WAIVE THE RULES AS WELL.
08:55:05PM >>BILL CARLSON:
AND TO WAIVE RULES.
08:55:07PM >>LYNN HURTAK:

AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 4 -- AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 7 IS REZ-25-104
TO REZONE 4311 WEST GRAY STREET.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED IN RED.
IT IS LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF WEST GRAY STREET.
BLOCK IS LOCATED -- IT IS EAST OF NORTH MANHATTAN, AND IT
IS WEST OF NORTH HUBERT AVENUE.
THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES CONSISTENT OF SINGLE-FAMILY
DETACHED UNITS ZONED RS-50 TO THE NORTH, TO THE EAST, AS
WELL AS TO THE SOUTH.
WE ALSO HAVE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
ZONING.
THESE ARE SITES THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR SINGLE-FAMILY --
RESIDENTIAL SUNSHINE ATTACHED.
WE ALSO HAVE TO THE WEST RM-18 ZONING WHERE WE HAVE
SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI DETACHED UNITS.
WE DO HAVE A SURVEY -- SORRY, A SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE
APPLICANT.
LOOKING AT THE SURVEY, WE HAVE FOUR SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED
UNITS.
THE -- ON THE NORTH SIDE OF WEST GRAY STREET.
UNIT ONE HAS FRONT-DOOR ORIENTATION TO WEST GRAY STREETS.
UNITS TWO, THREE AND FOUR HAVE FRONT DOOR ORIENTATION TO THE
WESTERN PROPERTY LINE.
A GUEST PARKING SPOT LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE
PROPERTY.
IS.
WE IS ALSO A SOLID WASTE PICK-UP STATION.

I SHOULD SAY EACH OF THESE UNIONS HAVE A TWO-CAR GARAGE.
NEXT WE HAVE SOME PHOTOS.
FIRST WE HAVE PHOTO OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNIT.
NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
ONE ADDITIONAL PHOTO SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
SOUTHEAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE, RECENTLY CONSTRUCTED
SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNITS.
EAST OF SUBJECT SITE.
AND WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
WE HAVE SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI-DETACHED.
WE DO HAVE ONE WAIVER WITH THIS APPLICATION TO SECTION
27-282.9.
A REQUEST TO ALLOW FRONT DOORS OF UNITS TWO, THREE, AND FOUR
TO FACE A SIDE LOT LINE OR DRIVE AISLE RATHER THAN INTERNAL
COURTYARD OR RIGHT-OF-WAY.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF HAS REVIEWED THIS
PETITION.
WE FIND THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE APPLICABLE CITY OF
TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.
SHOULD IT BE THE PLEASURE OF CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THIS
APPLICATION, FURTHER MODIFICATIONS OF THE SITE PLAN MUST BE
COMPLETED BY THE APPLICANT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING
OF THE ORDINANCE AS STATED IN THE REVISION SHEET.
AND I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
09:00:01PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY QUESTIONS?
PLANNING COMMISSION, PLEASE.
09:00:04PM >>QUINN STEELE:
QUINN STEELE, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
THIS SITE WITHIN THE WEST SHORE PLANNING DISTRICT, WEST
SHORE PALM NEIGHBORHOOD, AND EVACUATION ZONE B.
OUTLINED IN PURPLE AND RESIDENTIAL-20 THAT SURROUNDS THE
SITE ON ALL SIDES.
IT WAS RECENTLY APPROVED TOWN HOUSE DEVELOPMENT WEST
SHORE PLAZA FURTHER BLOCKS WEST.
FURTHER SOUTH IS WEST SHORE BAPTIST CHURCH JUST SOUTH
OF I-275.
REQUEST TO ALLOW FOUR SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED UNITS THE SITE.
CONSISTENT WITH WHAT IS UNDER THE RM-20 DESIGNATION.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FOUND IT COMPATIBLE WITH THE
SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD PATTERN.
NEIGHBORHOOD HAD APPROVALS OF TWO AND FOUR-UNIT PROBLEMS
OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.
ACCESS TO WEST GRAY STREET AND FOR UNIT ONE.
UNITS TWO AND FOUR WITH A DRIVE AISLE WITH A CONNECTING
SIDEWALK.
STAFF NOTES THERE IS POTENTIAL CONFLICT BETWEEN PEDESTRIANS
AND VEHICLES AS THEY EXIT GARAGES.
OVERALL, IT IS WITH THE R-20 AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, AND I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY
QUESTIONS.
09:01:21PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY QUESTIONS?
OKAY, APPLICANT.
09:01:23PM >> MADAM CHAIR, TODD PRESSMAN, ST. PETERSBURG.
THIS PROPOSAL COMES FORWARD WITH CONSISTENCY FROM ALL THE
DEPARTMENTS, AS INDICATED IN YOUR STAFF REPORT AND INDICATED
FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
NATURAL RESOURCES NOTES THAT ALL REQUIREMENTS ARE BEING MET
THROUGH REDUCING AS WELL AS REDUCING POTENTIAL IMPACTS TO
THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS.
THEY NOTE THAT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WILL PROVIDE
APPROPRIATE INFILL DEVELOPMENT WHICH I THINK IS AN IMPORTANT
FACTOR IN THIS AREA.
ONE IMPORTANT ITEM THAT YOU SEE FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION
IS THAT THEY DO TALK ABOUT HOW THE SITE IN PARTICULAR IN THE
VICINITY HAS BEEN IN TRANSITION AND A LOT OF REZONINGS.
AS PRESENTED BY STAFF, YOU WILL SEE THERE IS MULTIFAMILY,
SINGLE-FAMILY, DUPLEX IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA.
I DO WANT TO SHOW YOU ONE ELEVATION, WHICH IS A VERY NICE
ELEVATION FOR THE PD AN IMPROVEMENT OF THE EXISTING HOME
BUILT IN 1958.
THIS WILL BE OBVIOUSLY A QUITE NICE IMPROVEMENT.
AND ABUTTING TO THE SITE TO THE WEST IS A DUPLEX
MULTIFAMILY.
I CAN ALSO TELL THAT YOU JAMES LASCARA, WHO IS THE DEVELOPER,
HAS TOUCHED BASE WITH NEIGHBORS.
AND THE SITE BEING HERE IN THE FILE TO SUPPORT FROM THIS.
THIS NEIGHBOR HERE AND VERBALLY FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD ACROSS
THE STREET.
THESE ARE THE DUPLEXES NEXT DOOR TO THE TWO-STORY WHICH AS
YOUR STAFF HAS FOUND IS COMPATIBLE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD SO WE
ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY OPPOSITION TO THE REQUEST.
WE THINK IT IS NICE IMPROVEMENT INFILL PROPERTY, COMPATIBLE
AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION.
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.
09:03:44PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?
OKAY.
ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.
PLEASE COME -- THIS WAY.
OKAY.
GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
I AM JAMES LASCARA, THE OWNER OF THE SITE.
09:03:59PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IF YOU WERE THE OWNER YOU ARE PART OF THE
PRESENTATION AND NOT WITH PUBLIC COMMENT.
THERE IS TIME -- YOU MAY GO AHEAD AND SPEAK, BUT YOU HAVE TO
-- HOW MUCH TIME WAS LEFT IN THEIR PRESENTATION?
09:04:21PM >> I CAN BE FAST.
09:04:21PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I ASSUME YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME.
YOU DIDN'T TAKE NEARLY YOUR 15 MINUTES.
WANTED TO CLARIFY FOR THE RECORD THAT YOU WILL BE PART OF
PRESENTATION.
THAT IS FINE.
09:04:30PM >> THANK YOU, MA'AM.
OKAY.
I CAN BE FAST.
09:04:34PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
GO RIGHT AHEAD.
09:04:39PM >> A QUICK BACKGROUND FOR ME.
DISABLED VETERAN AND OWN A SMALL BUSINESS AND WAS IN THE
NAVY WHERE I WAS ON THE SEAL TEAM AND HAD A 100% DISABILITY
RATING.
I HAVE COME TO KNOW THE TAMPA BAY AREA VERY WELL.
STARTING BUSINESS IN 2021, WE COMPLETED 11 PROJECTS WITH
FOCUS ON QUALITY AND COMMUNITY VALUE.
EXCITED TO HEAR THE REPORT FROM STAFF WITH CONSISTENCY
ACROSS THE BOARD.
COMMUNITY SUPPORT IS STRONG.
I BELIEVE THERE ARE SIX LETTERS IN THE RECORD FROM NEIGHBORS
AND ZERO OPPOSITION.
WE DID QUITE A BIT OF OUTREACH TO NEIGHBORS TO MAKE SURE WE
ARE ENGAGING WITH OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
GREAT TO HAVE THEIR SUPPORT AND ESPECIALLY WITH TWO OF THE
NEIGHBORS WE RECEIVED WRITTEN SUPPORT DIRECTLY SENT TO THE
PROPERTY.
THIS PROPOSED REZONING IS IMPORTANT FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND
WELL BEING AND INCREASES DEMAND AS OUR POPULATION GROWS AND
MORE PEOPLE CALL TAMPA HOME A MIXTURE OF TYPES FROM
SINGLE-FAMILY TO MULTIFAMILY CAN ACCOMMODATE MANY NEEDS
INCLUDING YOUNG FAMILIES AND SENIORS.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR THE COUNCIL TO APPROVE THIS REZONING.
THANK YOU FOR THE TIME.
09:05:53PM >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NOW ARE THERE MEMBERS OF PUBLIC WHO WISH TO SPEAK TO THIS
ITEM?
09:06:02PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
I AM A PROPERTY OWNER.
ONE BLOCK WEST OF 43 WEST GRAY STREET.
THE AREA AS WELL.
AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD INCLUDES SEVERAL MULTIFAMILY DUPLEX AND
DUPLEXES.
CREATING AN ADDITIONAL HOME IS VERY COMPATIBLE TO THE
CHARACTER OF BLOCK.
IT WILL PROVIDE MORE PLACES FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE.
BRING NEW FAMILY INTO THE COMMUNITY AND REPLACE OLDER
HOUSING WITH MODERN WELL-PLANNED HOUSING OPTIONS.
AS SOMEONE WHO HAS SEEN THE AREA GROW AND CHANGE IN THE
YEARS.
I BELIEVE THIS PROJECT WILL BRING REAL VALUE TO THE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT WAS ATTRACT POSITIVE INVESTMENT, CREATE MORE
OPPORTUNITIES TO RESIDENTS WHO LIVE HERE, AND SUPPORT THE
CONTINUED GROWTH OF NEIGHBORHOOD.
FOR THESE REASONS, I RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU APPROVE THIS
REZONING.
THANK YOU.
09:06:52PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?
NO, WE NEED TO HAVE REBUTTAL.
ANY REBUTTAL.
09:07:01PM >> NO, THANK YOU.
09:07:03PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
ANY OPPOSED?
ANYONE WISH TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS ITEM BEFORE WE -- OKAY.
I DO.
I AM JUST -- I CAN'T APPROVE THIS BECAUSE FOR ME IT IS -- IT
IS JUST ONE UNIT TOO MANY.
THE REST OF BLOCK ALL FACES THE STREET.
AND THESE DO NOT.
AND SO FOR ME, IT REALLY BREAKS UP THE BLOCK.
AND I THINK IT IS JUST TOO MUCH.
THREE UNITS WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT ALL FORWARD.
ALL FACING THE STREET.
THIS CHANGES THE DYNAMIC OF THE STREET.
AND I DON'T -- I DON'T LIKE THESE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT.
IT DOES -- IT CUTS THE BLOCK IN HALF AND I DON'T THINK IT IS
APPROPRIATE.
COUNCILMAN CARLSON, DO YOU WANT TO READ THIS ONE?
09:07:53PM >>BILL CARLSON:

ITEM NUMBER 9.
09:17:48PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
FOR THE RECORD, CHRIS DEMANCHE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
ITEM NUMBER 9, REZ-25-123.
THE REQUEST TO REZONE 215 WEST SANTIAGO STREET FROM RM-16
TO RM-18.
START WITH THE AERIAL.
SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN RED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF WEST
SANTIAGO.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED EAST OF SOUTH FERDINAND AND WEST
OF THE SELMON EXPRESSWAY.
THE SITE DEVELOPED WITH A ONE-STORY DETACHED UNIT.
NEXT WE HAVE A SURVEY.
I SHOULD ALSO NOTE THAT ON THIS PARTICULAR STREET, THERE ARE
MULTIFAMILY -- THREE MULTIFAMILY UNITS TO THE SOUTH,
SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED TO THE EAST.
THERE IS A SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI DETACHED UNIT TO THE WEST.
AND WE HAVE COMMERCIAL USES ALONG WEST BAY TO BAY.
SURVEY SHOWS THE OUTLINE OF THE SUBJECT SITE MARKED IN RED.
50 FEET OF STREET FRONTAGE ALONG WEST SANTIAGO AND 100 FEET
OF DEPTH.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS 5,000 SQUARE FEET IN AREA.
THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS ALLOWED BY THE RM-18 ZONING WILL
BE TWO DWELLING UNITS.
GIVEN THE SURROUNDING USES OF SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED, AND
UNIT, THE REQUESTED RM-18 ZONING IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SINCE THIS IS A EUCLIDIAN, WE DO NOT HAVE SITE PLANS OR
ELEVATIONS, BUT WE HAVE PHOTOS TO SHOW.
THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE ALONG BAY TO BAY.
SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE, THESE ARE THE THREE MULTIFAMILY
UNITS OR BUILDINGS.
EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE, WE HAVE THE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED.
WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE, WE HAVE THE SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI-
DETACHED.
THIS IS LOOKING EAST ON WEST SANTIAGO.
AND LOOKING WEST ON WEST SANTIAGO.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COORDINATION AND COMPLIANCE STAFF
HAS REVIEWED THIS APPLICATION.
WE FIND THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA LAND
DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.
AND I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
09:20:36PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?
MISS STEELE.
09:20:40PM >>QUINN STEELE:
QUINN STEELE, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
THIS SITE IS WITHIN THE SOUTH TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT, PALMA
CEIA NEIGHBORHOOD IN EVACUATION ZONE B.
SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED IN PURPLE AND RESIDENTIAL-20, WHICH
SUPPORT LOW- TO MEDIUM-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL USE OPINIONS
PORTION OF WEST SANTIAGO A MIXED OF SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED
AND ATTACHED HOME TO THE NORTH OF BAY TO BAY BOULEVARD WHICH
IN CMU-35.
REQUEST THE SITE CAN BE CONSIDERED FOR TWO DWELLING UNITS.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FOUND IT
COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AND
SUPPORTED INFILL HOUSING THEIR TRANSIT AND EMPLOYMENT
SERVICES.
THIS REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LONG-RANGE DEVELOPMENT
AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THAT CONCLUDES MY
PRESENTATION.
AND I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
09:21:37PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY QUESTIONS?
OKAY, APPLICANT.
09:21:40PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
I AM MARK SORK, THE FATHER OF THE PROPERTY OWNER OF THE
PROPERTY AT 3215 WEST SANTIAGO.
I AM ASKING -- I HAVE A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION IF THEY CAN
--
09:22:00PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY, CCTV.
09:22:02PM >> IS IT IS THERE?
09:22:07PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
JUST GIVE THEM A MOMENT TO GET THE
PRESENTATION UP.
THEY DON'T HAVE THE PRESENTATION?
OR IT IS NOT -- I AM NOT SURE --
09:22:24PM >> ALL RIGHT, I WILL WING IT --
09:22:27PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I AM NOT SURE WHAT THAT MEANT.
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
DOES THAT MEAN THEY DON'T HAVE IT OR DOES THAT MEAN IT IS
NOT WORKING?
09:22:37PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
DID YOU SEND IT IN TO CCTV?
09:22:40PM >> I SENT IT IN TO THE WEB SITE THEY TOLD ME TO SEND IT TO
OR THE E-MAIL.
09:22:45PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
OKAY, THANK YOU.
09:22:47PM >> THAT'S OKAY.
THAT IS FINE.
MOST OF IT WAS A REPEAT OF WHAT THE STAFF DID.
BUT I THINK BASICALLY THE LOT SIZE IS 5,000.
THAT IS WHY WE HAVE TO REZONE TO A RM-18 TO ALLOW FOR THE
DUPLEX MY SON WOULD OCCUPY.
REPEATING FROM A COMPATIBILITY STANDPOINT.
WITHIN THAT STREET AS THEY SAID ACROSS FROM US ARE THREE,
FOUR-UNIT DWELLINGS.
TO THE -- TO THE WEST SIDE IS TWO MULTIFAMILY UNITS THAT
HAVE BEEN DONE.
TO THE NORTH SIDE IS COMMERCIAL, BECAUSE IT IS ONE BLOCK OFF
OF BAY TO BAY.
AND ON THE EAST SIDE -- I KNOW MY NEIGHBOR HERE WHO JUST GOT
BACK -- IS AN UNDEVELOPED LOT AND HIS TWO-STORY TEAM HOME
AND FURTHER DOWN THE STREET, THERE ARE ADDITIONAL
FAMILY-TYPE -- DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOUSES AND MULTIFAMILY.
SO FROM A COMPATIBILITY STANDPOINT, THIS TIME OF ZONING
WOULD NOT POSE ANY KIND OF PROPERTY IT SHALL OR PROBLEM.
AND IT WOULD FIT INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD BASED ON THE DESIGN.
I GUESS THE OTHER PART.
WE LOOKED AT COMMUNITY BENEFITS AND WOULD ALLOW FOR INFILL
HOUSE FOR AN ADDITIONAL UNION WITHIN THAT AREA WHICH, AGAIN,
HAS MANY USES.
AND THE DENSITY REPORT AND THE STAFF SAID IT WAS COMPATIBLE
OR THAT IT -- IT APPLIED WITH THE DENSITY FACTORS THAT THE
CITY IS LOOKING FOR.
LASTLY, WE LOOKED AT ITS IMPACT ON INFRASTRUCTURE.
THERE IS ADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE ON THAT STREET FOR WATER,
SEWER AND IT IS CLOSE TO TRANSPORTATION, AS WELL AS IT WILL
PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL BENEFITS LIKE SIDEWALKS IN FRONT OF
THE PROPERTY.
SO LASTLY, WE PLAN ON BUILDING -- WE WOULD LIKE YOUR
APPROVAL TO BUILD AN RM-18 CITY-APPROVED ORDINANCE STRUCTURE
THAT WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT,
THAT WILL BE SUPPORTED BY ADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE, AND IF
APPROVED, IT WILL GIVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD OR AT LEAST THIS
HOME AN UPLIFT.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?
I KNOW THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE HERE THAT ARE PROBABLY OPPOSED.
09:25:11PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
OKAY.
YOU WILL HAVE TIME FOR REBUTTAL.
IF THERE IS ANYONE -- ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WHO WOULD LIKE TO
SPEAK TO THIS ITEM, STAND UP ALONG THE WALL.
JUST GOING TO TAKE THIS TIME AGAIN TO MAKE SURE FOLKS HAVE
BEEN SWORN IN.
IF YOU NEED TO BE SWORN IN OR DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM
TALKING ABOUT, GO AHEAD AND RAISE YOUR HAND.
OKAY, MIGHT AS WELL GET A SECONDARY CHANCE TO SWEAR IN.
IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO SWEAR IN OR YOU THINK YOU
DON'T, YOU CAN SWEAR IN AGAIN.
SO GO AHEAD.
[SWEARING IN]

MICHAEL McELROY.
THANK YOU.
AND CHRIS LEWIS.
SEVEN NAMES FOR A TOTAL OF TEN MINUTES.
09:26:54PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ARE YOU READY?
GO RIGHT AHEAD.
09:27:05PM >> GOOD EVENING.
MY NAME IS JACK RODRIGUEZ, AND I LIVE AT 3218 SAN JUAN.
AND OBVIOUSLY, I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND MY
NEIGHBORS.
THE PALMA CEIA PARK SUBDIVISION WAS PLATTED IN THE '20s.
5,000-SQUARE-FEET LOTS.
THERE HAS NOT BEEN A DUPLEX OR A TWO-UNIT OR THREE-UNIT
BUILT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR OVER 38 YEARS.
THAT IS 1987.
NO REZONING APPROVED FOR A REQUEST LIKE THIS SINCE 2002.
CHAPTER 43 WAS REPLACED BY CHAPTER 27 IN 1989, AND THE R-2
ZONING CHANGED TO RM-16.
RM-16 AND RS-50 ARE THE PREDOMINANT ZONINGS IN THE AREA AND
PROVIDE FOR AND RECOGNIZES THE AREAS A 5,000-SQUARE-FOOT
LOTS AND PROHIBIT DUPLEXES.
CITY COUNCIL RECOGNIZED THE ISSUE BASED ON TESTIMONY FROM
THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT THEY DID NOT WANT ANY MORE DUPLEXES OR
TOWN HOUSES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE DUPLEXES IN THE AREA WERE BUILT PRIOR TO CHAPTER 27.
THE CURRENT HOUSE CAN BE TORN DOWN AND REPLACED WITH A
SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOUSE.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
PLANNING COMMISSION'S REPORT IS BASED ON OLD PLAN THAT
RECOGNIZES WHAT WAS BUILT PRIOR TO THE CHANGE TO CHAPTER 27
IN 1999.
IT RECOGNIZES THE DUPLEXES AND MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENTS THAT
ARE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FOREVER.
AND THAT'S WHY THE PLAN WANTS TO ALLOW FOR MORE, BUT, AGAIN,
NOTHING HAS BEEN DEVELOPED FOR 38 YEARS.
THE PLAN DOES NOT LOOK AT THE TREND OF ALL THE SINGLE-FAMILY
DETACHED HOMES BUILT IN THE AREA.
REMEMBER, NO DUPLEXES FOR 38 YEARS.
THE PLAN IS OUTDATED AND IGNORES CURRENT MARKET TREND.
IT IS TIME FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO UPDATE ITS PLAN
AND RECOGNIZE THE CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS.
THEY NEED TO LOOK AT THEIR OWN POLICY.
LAND USE POLICY 9.5.8, GENERALLY PROVIDES TO MAINTAIN THE
CHARACTER OF SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AREAS.
LAND USE POLICY 9.5.4, GENERALLY PROVIDES TO MAINTAIN THE
CURRENT DENSITY AND CHARACTER OF EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY
AREAS.
TRANSPORTATION, THE STREETS IN PALMA CEIA PARK ARE NARROW
AND SOME ARE DEAD ENDED AND FILLED WITH CARS PARKED ON THE
RIGHT-OF-WAY, IN THE STREET, AND PROVIDES A CHALLENGE FOR
EMERGENCY VEHICLES.
THE ZONING REQUEST IS A SPOT ZONING, WHICH IS DEFINED AS THE
PROCESS OF SINGLING OUT A SMALL PARCEL OF LAND FOR A USE
CLASSIFICATION, TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF THE
SURROUNDING AREA FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE OWNER OF SUCH
PROPERTY AND TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE OTHER OWNERS.
AND THAT'S FROM THE ANDERSON AMERICAN LAW OF ZONING.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS ABOUT 22 SQUARE BLOCKS, WITH ABOUT 440
SITES.
90% ARE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOUSING.

THERE HAS BEEN OVER 150 NEW SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES
BUILT IN THE LAST TEN YEARS, NO DUPLEXES.
NO MULTIFAMILY.
THERE ARE ALSO EIGHT SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES UNDER
CONSTRUCTION NOW, ONE OF WHICH IS DOWN THE STREET FROM THIS
PROPERTY.
I HAVE BEEN IN THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS FOR OVER 50 YEARS.
IN MY OPINION, THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE IS A SINGLE-FAMILY
DETACHED PROPERTY.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY DENIED SIMILAR
REQUESTS IN THE PAST, REZONING 1636 BASED ON CITY ORDINANCE
SECTION 27-156A, COUNCIL DENIES SAID PETITION BASED ON THE
RULE THAT THE PETITION DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF
SAID CODE.
REZONING 19-15, THAT COUNCIL DENY SAID PETITION BASED ON ITS
INCONSISTENCY WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH IS SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED.
UNDER LAND USE OBJECTIVE 2.1, REGULATING LEVELS OF BUILDING
INTENSITY FURTHER THAT RM 18 THAT WAS GRANDFATHERED IN FROM
PREVIOUS YEARS IS NOT AVAILABLE.
UNDER LAND USE POLICY 2.1.2 THAT LIMITED LAND RESOURCES BE
USED MORE EFFICIENTLY AND PURSUE A DEVELOPMENT PATTERN THAT
IS MORE ECONOMICALLY SOUND.
UNDER LAND USE OBJECTIVE 9.3, THAT COMPATIBLE DEVELOPMENT
AND REDEVELOPMENT SUSTAIN STABLE NEIGHBORHOODS.

REZONING 18-124, THAT COUNCIL DENIES SAID PETITION BASED ON
LAND USE POLICY 9.3.8, THAT IT IS THE INTENT OF THE CITY
THAT NEW RESIDENTIAL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT SHALL MINIMALLY
DISRUPTIVE TO ADJACENT AREAS.
THIS REZONING HEARING IS A QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING, AND TO
APPROVE THE PETITION, YOU MUST FIND COMPETENT AND
SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
I SUBMIT TO YOU THE CURRENT PETITION SHOULD BE DENIED BASED
ON THE ABOVE COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE PROVIDED
HEREIN.
COUNCIL HAS SPOKEN IN THE PAST AND SET THE PRECEDENT TO KEEP
AND PROTECT THE NEIGHBORHOOD SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOUSING.
THANK YOU AND HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS.
9:33:40PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:33:41PM >> ANY QUESTIONS?
NO.
OKAY.
9:33:45PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
NEXT.
9:33:49PM >> HELLO.
I'M BECKY FUSHAY, 3210 WEST SANTIAGO STREET.
I'D LIKE TO USE --
9:34:00PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THERE YOU GO.
9:34:02PM >> WE ARE LONG-TERM HOMEOWNERS WHO HAVE RESIDED ON THE
STREET MORE THAN 20 YEARS.
WE RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT OUR OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED

REZONING.
OUR LOT REPRESENTS A UNIQUE BALANCE OF HISTORIC 1920
RESIDENCES ALONGSIDE MORE CONTEMPORARY SINGLE-FAMILY AND
SOME SMALL MULTIFAMILY HOMES ALL ON 50 BY 100 LOTS.
OVER THE PAST TWO DECADES, WE'VE EXPERIENCED STEADY
INCREASES IN DENSITY AND A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF MATURE OAK
CANOPY THAT ONCE DEFINED OUR STREET.
LARGER HOME FOOTPRINTS AND INFILL DEVELOPMENTS REDUCED
FOLIAGE AND STRAINED THE VISUAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTER
OF THE BLOCK.
THE PROPOSED REZONING WOULD FURTHER INTENSIFY THE IMPACTS,
CONTINUED INCREASE IN DENSITY ALSO RAISES SERIOUS CONCERNS
REGARDING SAFETY, LIMITED PARKING AVAILABILITY AND LONG-TERM
PROPERTY VALUES FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE 3200 BLOCK OF WEST SANTIAGO ALREADY CONTAINS 30% MORE
FAMILY UNITS THAN THE SURROUNDING BLOCKS, AS EVIDENCE HERE,
Ds FOR DUPLEXES, Qs FOR QUADPLEXES.
WE HAVE A TRIPLEX DOWN THE STREET FROM US AS WELL.
YOU CAN SEE THE DENSITY IS MUCH MORE SO.
THE STAR IS THE HOUSE INDICATED OF THIS PETITION.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS ARE ESPECIALLY PRESSING DUE TO THE
LIMITED GREENSPACE AND RESTRICTED ACCESS FOR EMERGENCY
VEHICLES.
OUR STREET HAS EXPERIENCED TWO MAJOR STRUCTURAL FIRES IN THE
LAST FIVE YEARS.

THE FIRST IN 1920s APARTMENT BUILDING RENDERED HALF OF THE
BUILDING'S UNITS UNINHABITABLE.
IT OCCURRED NEAR THE WEST END OF THE BLOCK, SO FIRE
EQUIPMENT WAS ABLE TO REACH THE HOUSE RATHER QUICKLY.
FOLLOWING THIS FIRE, THE STREET PARKING WAS FURTHER
RESTRICTED WITH NO PARKING ALLOWED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE
STREET TO AID IN THE ACCESS OF EMERGENCY VEHICLES.
A SECOND FIRE WHICH OCCURRED LAST YEAR NEAR THE CENTER OF
THE BLOCK DESTROYED A DUPLEX AND ADJACENT SINGLE-FAMILY
HOME.
FIRE CREWS WERE ONLY ABLE TO EFFICIENTLY ACCESS THE AREA
BECAUSE VEHICLES FROM THE PROPERTY OWNERS HAD BEEN
TEMPORARILY REMOVED TO -- FROM THE ROADWAY DUE TO
HURRICANE-RELATED DEBRIS COLLECTION.
UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, THE CARS PARKED ALONG THE NORTH
SIDE OF THE STREET, FIRE TRUCKS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
REACH THE SITE.
OUR VOTE TO IS OVER A CENTURY OLD.
WE HAVE NO SIDEWALKS.
WE HAVE HEAVY PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC.
AND MANY OF THE DUPLEXES AND APARTMENTS THAT ONCE SERVED
RENTERS NOW SERVE FAMILIES IN THE AREA.
THANK YOU.
9:36:34PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT.

9:36:42PM >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.
MY NAME IS --
I AM THE PROPERTY OWNER AND RESIDENT OF 3207 WEST SANTIAGO
STREET, WHICH IS THREE DOORS DOWN OF THE PROPERTY IN
QUESTION.
I'M HERE TO VOICE MY OPPOSITION AGAINST THE REZONING FOR
REASONS THAT WERE ALREADY OUTLINED BY MY NEIGHBORS.
ONE OF THE REASONS IS THE PARKING IS ALREADY VERY, VERY BAD
TO START WITH IN OUR HIGH DENSITY AREA.
IF YOU COUNT THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPOTS SINCE THE NORTH
SIDE THERE IS NO PARKING AT ALL, THERE ARE THREE OFFICIAL
PARKING SPOTS THAT FALL WITHIN REGULATION OF THE CITY.
HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE HIGH DENSITY, THERE ARE OFTEN
PARKING VIOLATIONS.
OFTEN HAVE TWO PARKED CARS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE.
THERE'S REGULARLY BLOCKED MY MAILBOX AND OCCASIONALLY BLOCK
MY DRIVEWAY.
THAT IS AN ANNOYANCE.
BY REMOVING A THIRD OF THE PARKING SPOTS BY THE PROPOSED
REZONING, THIS WILL ONLY BE WORSE.
MOREOVER THIS DIRECTLY TIES INTO THE SAFETY ISSUE AS JUST
EXPLAINED BY MY NEIGHBOR.
WE ALREADY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TRASH COLLECTION EVERY OTHER
WEEK, HONK AND WAIT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ILLEGALLY PARKED ON
THE OTHER SIDE TO COME THROUGH.

I'M AFRAID THAT MORE CARS AND LESS PARKING WILL ONLY MAKE
THE PROBLEM WORSE, AND THEY'LL HAVE A BIG EFFECT ON THE
EMERGENCY VEHICLES IF YOU EVER NEED THESE.
LASTLY, I THINK IT REALLY IMPACTS THE CHARACTER OF OUR
STREET BY GETTING RID OF MORE AND MORE OF THESE SINGLE UNIT
HOUSING.
SO THANK YOU.
9:38:29PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT.
9:38:34PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
GARY PHILIPS.
I LIVE NEXT DOOR TO THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY.
I'M ON THE SAME SIDE AS HIS.
ONE IMPORTANT THING THAT HASN'T BEEN MENTIONED IS THE 12
UNITS ACROSS, THE THREE BUILDINGS.
THERE'S FOUR APARTMENTS IN EACH ONE OF THOSE, WHICH LEAVES
MOST OR A LOT OF THE FAMILIES HAVE TWO CARS.
WELL, THERE'S ONLY 12 SPACES BEHIND THOSE THREE UNITS.
SO AT 4:00 TO 5:00, IT'S MAYHEM OUT THERE WHO CAN GET DOWN
OUR STREET TO ONE SIDE TO TRY TO PARK BEFORE THEY ARE
LOOKING FOR A PARKING PLACE.
THAT'S BEEN VERY SERIOUS FOR US BECAUSE WE TRY TO BACK OUT
OF OUR DRIVEWAY, AND IT'S ALMOST TERRIBLE.
YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT MAKING THE CURVE.
IT'S ONLY A 19-FOOT STREET.

20-FOOT IF YOU COUNT THE CURB, BUT NOBODY PARKS ON THE CURB,
WITH THE APRON ON EACH SIDE.
SO YOU'VE GOT 12 FEET LEFT BETWEEN A CAR AND THE APRON ON
THE SIDE WHERE YOU CAN'T PARK.
THAT'S WHAT THE SITUATION WAS WITH THAT EMERGENCY VEHICLES
THAT CAME DOWN.
ALSO, A FEW MORNINGS, THE GARBAGE TRUCK EVEN BLOWS ITS HORN
BECAUSE IT CAN'T COME DOWN WITH THE GARBAGE TRUCK TO COLLECT
THE GARBAGE AT 5 AND 6:00 IN THE MORNING, WHICH IS TERRIBLE.
ALSO WHAT HAPPENED RECENTLY TO EVEN ADD TO THE PROBLEM IS ON
THE CORNER, IT COMES TO BAY TO BAY AND THEY OPENED A COFFEE
SHOP THERE AND ICE CREAM PARLOR WITH LIMITED PARKING.
SO WHAT THESE PEOPLE ARE DOING, THEY ARE COMING DOWN OUR
STREET LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO PARK.
SO THEY ARE PARKING IN FRONT OF THE DRIVEWAYS THINKING WE'RE
HERE ONLY TEN MINUTES WHILE WE GET ICE CREAM.
THAT'S BEEN A BIG PROBLEM.
ALL THESE ADDED TOGETHER REALLY AFFECTS THE SITUATION ON OUR
BLOCK.
I'VE BEEN THERE 40 SOME YEARS.
I'M A TAMPA BOY RAISED RIGHT DOWN THE STREET, LIVED IN THAT
HOUSE OVER 40 YEARS.
I LOVE IT.
I'M EVEN OUT SWEEPING THE STREET.
I LOVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

I THINK THAT'S ALL I REALLY NEED TO SAY.
I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.
GOD BLESS YOU.
I UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEMS YOU'VE GOT.
THANK YOU.
9:40:39PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK?
I'M SORRY.
THERE IS SOMEONE ONLINE.
IS SHE UNMUTED?
CAN YOU UNMUTE YOURSELF?
9:41:23PM >> CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
9:41:26PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.
CAN YOU PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND SO YOU CAN BE SWORN IN.
9:41:33PM >> DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT THE TESTIMONY YOU ARE ABOUT
TO PROVIDE IS THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH?
9:41:38PM >> I DO.
9:41:39PM >>THE CLERK:
THANK YOU.
9:41:40PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.
9:41:42PM >> HI.
I'M COLLISON.
I LIVE AT 3204 WEST SANTIAGO STREET, WHICH IS JUST DOWN ON
THE OPPOSITE SIDE TO THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION.
I'VE LIVED HERE SINCE 2008.

I HAVE TO REITERATE THE PARKING.
THE HOUSE THAT BURNED DOWN BESIDE ME.
AND WHEN THE FIRE -- IT WAS PRETTY SCARY BECAUSE THE FIRST
TIME WE HAD THE FIRE, THERE WERE PROBLEMS -- THEY WOULDN'T
HAVE GOT THROUGH.
SECONDLY, I HAVE TWO TOWN HOUSES -- TWO DUPLEXES -- I'M
REGULARLY BLOCKED IN.
WHEN YOU HAVE TWO OR THREE PEOPLE WITH CARS THERE, THERE'S
NEVER ANYWHERE TO PARK.
IT'S A BIG DEAL.
THE MAIL MAN IS ALWAYS HAVING PROBLEMS.
THE TRASH GUYS.
YOU HEARD MOST OF WHAT THEY SAID.
AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.
WALKING THAT STREET, WALK EVERY DAY AND ALWAYS CARS COMING
DOWN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER WAY, TRYING TO GET AROUND OTHER
VEHICLES.
THEN YOU ADD THE CONSTRUCTION WITH IT, IT'S JUST REALLY BAD.
THIS IDEA -- DUPLEXES AND APARTMENT BUILDINGS ANYWHERE IN
THIS AREA NOW WHERE IT NEVER USED TO BE LIKE THIS.
ANYWAY, I'M AGAINST THE MOTION TO ALLOW IT.
9:43:23PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE ONLINE?
WE HAD TWO OTHER -- THEY ARE NOT ON.
OKAY.

APPLICANT -- ACTUALLY, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF OR
ANYONE FROM COUNCIL?
APPLICANT, YOU HAVE A REBUTTAL OF FIVE MINUTES.
9:43:47PM >> YES.
FIRST, TO ADDRESS --
9:43:49PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
STATE YOUR NAME FIRST.
9:43:51PM >> MICHAEL SORK.
TO ADDRESS THE GENTLEMAN WHO SPOKE ABOUT THERE HAVE BEEN NO
DUPLEXES, CURRENTLY ON THE STREET THERE IS A DUPLEX AT THE
END.
THERE HAS BEEN DEVELOPMENT OF DUPLEXES ON THOSE LOT SIZES OR
SMALLER LOT SIZES SINCE THAT TIME.
I GUESS LIKE ALL OF US HATE CHANGE, I KNOW I'M ONE OF THOSE
PEOPLE WHO THINK I LIKE CHANGE, BUT AGAIN, I DON'T LIKE
CHANGE.
I BELIEVE IT'S TIME TO CHANGE BECAUSE THERE IS ENOUGH SPACE
THERE FROM A DENSITY PERSPECTIVE TO ALLOW FOR A DUPLEX.
MOST OF THE PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT PARKING.
THERE WILL BE ADEQUATE PARKING FOR THESE TWO UNITS IN FRONT
WITH GARAGES AND SPACES, SO IT SHOULD ALLEVIATE PARKING
THERE.
MY SON AND I DEAL WITH THE PARKING ISSUES, TOO, BECAUSE THEY
PARK IN FRONT OF HIS HOUSE.
WE DO NOT CREATE THE PARKING ISSUES.
PARKING ISSUES IS AN ISSUE FOR ALL OF SOUTH TAMPA.

IT'S NOT JUST A STREET.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IS A REASON TO NOT APPROVE THIS
REQUEST.
I GUESS IN SUMMARY, IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT THE STAFF
RECOMMENDED, THE PROPOSED ZONING IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY
OF TAMPA'S CODE OF ORDINANCES.
IT'S COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SURROUNDING
DEVELOPMENTS.
IT'S GOT ADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE.
SO I HOPE YOU CAN APPROVE THIS REQUEST.
THANK YOU.
9:45:13PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
DO I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE?
I HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA.
ALL IN FAVOR?
AYE.
ANY OPPOSED?
MS. YOUNG, WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ THIS?
COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG.
SORRY.
9:45:44PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
FILE NUMBER REZ-25-123, ORDINANCE BEING
PRESENTED FOR FIRST READING CONSIDERATION, AN ORDINANCE
REZONING PROPERTY IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF 3215 WEST
SANTIAGO STREET IN THE CITY OF TAMPA, FLORIDA, AND MORE

PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1, FROM ZONING DISTRICT
CLASSIFICATION RM 16, RESIDENTIAL, MULTIFAMILY, TO RM 18,
RESIDENTIAL, MULTIFAMILY; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
9:46:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
OKAY.
NO SECOND.
ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO MAKE A MOTION?
9:47:35PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO DENY ITEM
NUMBER 9, WHICH IS REZ-25-123 AND THERE ARE VERY SPECIFIC
POLICIES HERE AND POINTS THAT WERE MADE IN WHAT WAS PASSED
OUT AND WHAT WAS GIVEN TO THE CLERK.
LAND USE POLICY 9.5.8, GENERALLY PROVIDES TO MAINTAIN THE
CHARACTER OF SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AREAS.
I SEE THAT THE APPLICANT HAS FAILED TO DO THAT.
I'LL TELL YOU WHY.
LET'S SEE HERE.
THERE HAS NOT BEEN A DUPLEX BUILT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN
OVER 38 YEARS OR A REZONING APPROVED IN THIS AREA SINCE
2002.
THAT'S WHAT ORIGINALLY CAUGHT MY EYE.
ALSO, LAND USE POLICY 9.5.4 GENERALLY PROVIDES TO MAINTAIN
THE CURRENT DENSITY AND CHARACTER OF EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY
AREAS WHICH BRINGS ME BACK TO THERE HAS NOT BEEN A DUPLEX
BUILT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN OVER 38 YEARS, WHICH WOULD MAKE
IT 1987.

ALSO, RM 16, RS 50 ARE THE PREDOMINANT ZONINGS IN THE AREA
AND PROVIDES FOR AND RECOGNIZES THE AREA'S 5,000-SQUARE-FOOT
LOTS AND PROHIBITS DUPLEXES.
I THINK THAT'S VERY, VERY CLEAR.
THE DUPLEXES IN THE AREA WERE BUILT PRIOR TO CHAPTER 27 WHEN
THE ZONING CODES ALL CAME INTO PLACE IN THE 1980s.
THE CURRENT HOUSE CAN, HOWEVER, BE TORN DOWN AND REPLACED
WITH SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOUSE.
THERE IS APPROPRIATENESS THAT WOULD MATCH THE CHARACTER OF
THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT'S NOT PROHIBITING THE DEVELOPER OR THE PROPERTY OWNER,
I'M SORRY, FROM DOING ANYTHING ELSE.
THEY CAN REPLACE IT WITH A SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOUSE, BUT
BEING THAT THIS IS A DUPLEX, IT GOES AGAINST ALL OF THIS,
AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE IT FOR MY MOTION.
9:49:39PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO.
WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
ANY MORE DISCUSSION?
ROLL CALL, PLEASE.
9:49:50PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
YES.
9:49:51PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
YES.
9:49:54PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
YES.
9:49:56PM >>LUIS VIERA:
YES.
9:49:58PM >>BILL CARLSON:
YES.

9:50:01PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.
9:50:02PM >>THE CLERK:
MOTION PASSES TO DENY WITH CLENDENIN BEING
ABSENT AT VOTE.
9:50:09PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ITEM NUMBER 10.
MR. SHELBY, SO WE'RE NOT HAVING SIDEBARS, CAN YOU PLEASE
REMIND US OF THOSE RULES?
9:50:41PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER STATE THAT IF YOU
ARE THE MAKER OF THE MOTION, BY YOUR ACT OF MAKING THE
MOTION, YOU ARE OBLIGATED TO VOTE IN SUPPORT OF IT.
IF YOU ARE ASKED TO READ SOMETHING BUT IT IS NOT YOUR INTENT
TO SUPPORT IT, THEN YOU SHOULD NOT BE THE MAKER OF THE
MOTION.
IN THIS CASE, WHEN YOU READ THE MOTION, IT DIED FOR LACK OF
A SECOND BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE WILLING TO SUPPORT
IT.
BUT THAT RESOLVED THE ISSUE.
BUT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE, WHEN YOU ARE ASKED TO MAKE A
MOTION, IT MEANS YOU ARE ASKED TO COMMIT TO VOTE IN SUPPORT
OF IT.
9:51:15PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
AND YOU CAN ALWAYS SAY NO.
MS. POPE.
9:51:23PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
GOOD EVENING.
STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION, AGENDA ITEM NUMBER
10 IS REZ 25-128, REQUEST TO REZONE 3812 PINEWOOD STREET

FROM PD TO PD FOR HOTEL USES.
WE'LL START WITH AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND THE
SURROUNDING AREA.
YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT PARCEL OUTLINED IN RED.
THIS IS BETWEEN PINEWOOD STREET AND MARCUM STREET.
HERE IS SOUTH DALE MABRY.
HERE IS INTERBAY BOULEVARD.
THE AREA SURROUNDING THE SUBJECT SITE CONTAINS MOSTLY
INDUSTRIAL GENERAL USES.
WEST OF THE SITE IS RM 24.
SOUTH OF THE SITE IS THE CITY OF TAMPA PROPERTY AND THEN
FURTHER SOUTH IS WHERE MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE IS.
HERE IS THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.
I'LL PROVIDE A BRIEF BACKGROUND.
THIS APPLICATION HAS A PRIOR PD.
REZ 22-33 THAT WAS APPROVED FOR HOTEL USE.
THE PRIOR APPROVAL ALLOWED FOR ONE HOTEL ON-SITE.
THIS REZONING REQUEST IS FOR THE ADDITION OF A SECOND HOTEL.
THE APPLICANT PROPOSES THE CONSTRUCTION OF TWO STRUCTURES.
EACH SIX STORIES IN HEIGHT.
FRONT DOOR ORIENTATION IS TOWARD THE INTERNAL SITE AND
SURFACE PARKING, WHICH IS INTERNAL HERE.
ACCESS TO THE SITE IS PROPOSED OFF OF PINEWOOD AND WEST
MARCUM.
THERE ARE INTERNAL PEDESTRIAN SIDEWALKS PROVIDING

CONNECTIONS FROM THE HOTELS TO THE PROPOSED SIDEWALKS ALONG
PINEWOOD AND MARCUM.
BUILDING NUMBER ONE IS PROPOSED TO BE SIX STORIES TALL AND
CONTAIN 110 ROOMS AND PROPOSES A POOL TO THE WEST OF THE
BUILDING.
THIS IS BUILDING NUMBER ONE.
THIS IS THE HOTEL APPROVED IN THE PRIOR REZONING.
THE PRIOR REZONING WAS APPROVED FOR SIX STORIES, 77,925
SQUARE FEET AND 115 ROOMS.
THE CURRENT PD PROPOSES SIX STORIES, 77,925 SQUARE FEET AND
110 ROOMS.
BUILDING NUMBER TWO OVER HERE IS PROPOSED TO BE SIX STORIES
TALL, 62,223 SQUARE FEET AND CONTAINS 105 ROOMS.
NEXT I'LL SHOW THE PROPOSED ELEVATIONS PROVIDED BY THE
APPLICANT.
THIS IS FOR THE SECOND ONE, THE SECOND BUILDING, BUILDING
NUMBER TWO.
AND THEN THESE ARE THE ELEVATIONS THAT WERE APPROVED IN THE
ORIGINAL PD.
FOR BUILDING NUMBER ONE.
NOW I'LL SHOW SOME PHOTOS OF THE SITE.
HERE IS A PHOTO OF THE SITE.
THIS IS ANOTHER PHOTO OF THE SITE.
IT'S GOING TO BE A FEW PICTURES, BUT IT'S A KIND OF LARGE
SITE.

THIS IS ANOTHER PHOTO OF THE SITE.
THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE SITE LOOKING WEST.
THIS IS AT THE CORNER OF DALE MABRY AND PINEWOOD.
THIS IS LOOKING EAST DOWN PINEWOOD.
THIS IS AT THE SITE LOOKING WEST AT THAT MULTIFAMILY.
THIS IS LOOKING WEST AGAIN AT THE MULTIFAMILY.
THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH AND THAT WOULD BE TOWARDS MacDILL.
THERE IS ANOTHER VIEW OF SOUTH OF THE SITE.
THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW NORTH OF THE SITE.
THIS IS NORTH OF THE SITE.
AND THEN THIS BRINGS YOU BACK AROUND TO WHERE YOU WOULD EXIT
BACK OUT NEAR THE ENTRANCE OF MacDILL.
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION AND COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE
APPLICATION AND FIND THE REQUEST TO BE INCONSISTENT WITH THE
LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
YOU CAN SEE THE FINDINGS FROM TRANSPORTATION IN THE STAFF
REPORT.
THERE ARE FOUR WAIVERS AS PART OF THIS REQUEST.
IF CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THE APPLICATION, THE MODIFICATIONS
TO THE SITE PLAN AS SHOWN ON THE SUBMITTED REVISION SHEET
MUST BE COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
THESE REVISIONS WILL NOT CHANGE TRANSPORTATION'S FINDING OF
INCONSISTENCY.
WE DO HAVE A REVISED REVISION SHEET HERE THAT HAS A FUTURE
CHANGES TO SOME OF THE WAIVERS AS WELL AS JUST A CHANGE TO

THE SETBACKS AND ADDITION TO THE CROSSWALK INTERNAL ADDING
SOME CROSSWALKS INTERNALLY.
WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME TO PUT THEM DOWN, HAND THEM IN?
9:56:31PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.
ADDITIONALLY, I REQUESTED BEFORE, AGAIN, ANYTHING THAT COMES
IN FRONT OF US, PLEASE TELL US WHAT THE WAIVERS ARE.
9:56:39PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
YES, I CAN READ THOSE TO YOU.
9:56:42PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.
9:56:43PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
I'LL HAND THESE OUT TO YOU NOW.
SO THE ORIGINAL WAIVERS THAT WERE REQUESTED PRIOR TO THE
REVISED REVISION SHEET, WAIVER NUMBER ONE, SECTION 27,283.7
REQUEST TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED PARKING SPACES FROM 225 TO
84, WHICH IS A 63% REDUCTION.
9:57:13PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
COULD YOU SAY THAT AGAIN?
9:57:16PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
YES, MA'AM.
THE ENTIRE THING?
9:57:19PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
FROM 225 --
9:57:21PM >> TO 84, WHICH IS A 63% REDUCTION.
9:57:28PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THERE ARE 215 ROOMS?
9:57:33PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
215.
YES, MA'AM.
WAIVER 2, SECTION 27-283.14 REQUEST TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED
NUMBER OF LOADING BERTHS FROM TWO TO ZERO.
WAIVER NUMBER THREE, SECTION 27-284.3.3B REQUEST TO REDUCE
THE REQUIRED USE BUFFER ON THE EAST FROM TEN FEET TO ZERO

FEET, ADJACENT TO FOLIO 137,622.0510 AND TO SIX FEET ON THE
WEST ABUTTING RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY PARCEL.
WAIVER NUMBER FOUR, SECTION 27-284.3.3D REQUEST TO REDUCE
REQUIRED PARKING LANDSCAPE ISLANDS FROM 13 FEET TO 9 FEET.
AND NOW AS YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU THE REVISED REVISION
SHEET.
SECTION 27-284.3.3B TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED USE TO USE BUFFER
ON THE EAST FROM TEN FEET TO ZERO FEET.
ADJACENT TO FOLIO 137,622.0510.
9:58:34PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IS THAT THE PARK?
9:58:38PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
YES.
SECTION 27-284.3.3D, TO REDUCE REQUIRED LANDSCAPE ISLAND
WIDTH FROM 13 FEET TO 9 FEET.
SECTION 27-284.3.3D TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED 8-FOOT VUA
LANDSCAPE BUFFER FROM -- TO ZERO FEET ONLY WHERE THE PARKING
SPACES ABUT THE PROPERTY LINE ALONG WEST MARCUM STREET.
DID YOU WANT ME TO READ THE REST OF THE REVISIONS?
9:59:09PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
NO, BUT CAN YOU SHOW US VISUALLY WHAT NUMBER
FOUR IS?
ONLY WHERE THE PARKING SPACES ABUT THE PROPERTY LINE ALONG
MARCUM JUST SO I CAN TAKE A QUICK PEEK.
9:59:26PM >> ERIN MAEHR, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
THAT'S RIGHT HERE.
AND THEN THERE WAS A LITTLE CONFUSION AS TO HOW MUCH IS
ACTUALLY PROVIDED HERE.

JUST TO POINT THAT OUT THERE AS WELL.
9:59:39PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
THANK YOU.
9:59:47PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, IF YOU
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME.
9:59:53PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?
MS. STEELE.
10:00:03PM >>QUINN STEELE:
QUINN STEELE, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
THE SITE IS WITHIN THE SOUTH TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT.
THE GANDY CIVIC ASSOCIATION NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE COASTAL
HIGH HAZARD AREA.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED IN PURPLE AND DESIGNATED LIGHT
INDUSTRIAL WHICH SURROUNDS THE SITE TO THE NORTH, EAST, AND
SOUTH.
THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DESIGNATION SUPPORTS GENERAL INDUSTRIAL
ACTIVITY, FLEX SPACE, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, AND A RANGE
OF COMMERCIAL USES.
THE SITE IS ABOUT A QUARTER MILE NORTH OF MACDILL AIR FORCE
BASE AND EXISTING APPROVAL UNDER REZ 22-33 ALLOWS A HOTEL OF
JUST UNDER 78,000 SQUARE FEET ON THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE
SITE.
REQUEST AMENDS PD TO ALLOW ADDITIONAL HOTEL RESULTING IN
JUST OVER 140,000 SQUARE FEET AT 1.2 F.A.R.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REVIEWED THE PROPOSAL AND FOUND IT
CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT ANTICIPATED UNDER THE LIGHT

INDUSTRIAL DESIGNATION AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING
DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, MULTIFAMILY AND
COMMERCIAL USES.
HOTEL USES ARE PERMITTED AND PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT SUPPORTING
ACTIVITY NEAR THE DALE MABRY CORRIDOR.
APPLICANT WILL PROVIDE FIVE FOOT SIDEWALKS ALONG THE
ADJACENT RIGHTS-OF-WAY ALONG WITH ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS TO
ENHANCE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
READING, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF IS REQUESTING THAT THE
F.A.R. BE CORRECTED TO CLEARLY STATE 1.2 AND INTERNAL
CROSSWALKS BE ADDED TO IMPROVE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY.
OVERALL, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FINDS THE PROPOSED PD
CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
10:01:28PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?
APPLICANT?
10:01:34PM >> GOOD EVENING.
TRUETT GARDNER, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
I SEE ONE QUESTION ALREADY WHICH IS INTERESTING COMING FROM
YOU.
LIKES THE PARKING WAIVERS, BUT I'LL HAVE A --
10:01:44PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I DO, BUT IT IS A HOTEL.
10:01:47PM >> WE ARE HERE ON BEHALF OF BRIAN FUNK.
BRIAN FUNK IS A FRIEND.

HE GREW UP IN TAMPA, AND HE IS A STRONG SUPPORTER OF
BICYCLING AND PARKS IN THE CITY OF TAMPA, WHICH IS WHAT
MOTIVATED HIM TO THIS SITE.
THIS WAS SHOWN BEFORE, BUT I WANTED TO POINT OUT JUST ONE
THING, AND THAT'S WHEN YOU LOOK TO THE EAST OF DALE MABRY,
YOU CAN SEE A FAINT PATH.
THAT IS THE BICYCLE PATH WHICH THEN CONNECTS TO GADSDEN PARK
TO THE EAST.
WHAT ATTRACTED BRIAN TO THE SITE WAS THE CITY'S PROPERTY,
WHICH LEADS TO BOTH PARKING AS WELL AS KIND OF WHAT HIS
GRAND PLAN WAS BEFORE.
ON THIS SLIDE, THIS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED REALLY SINCE 2023.
WE CAME IN, GOT THE HOTEL APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY.
THE ONE ON THE WEST.
THAT PROVIDED ENOUGH PARKING FOR IT.
AND BRIAN AT THAT TIME DID NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT PHASE TWO
WOULD BE.
IT WAS CONTEMPLATED TO BE AN OFFICE.
HILTON IS THE FLAG FOR THE HOTELS.
THEY THEN EXPRESSED INTEREST AND SO THAT BECAME THE DESIRE
FOR A SECOND HOTEL WHICH THEN PRECIPITATED THE NEED FOR
ADDITIONAL PARKING WHICH IN PART IS WHAT LED US TO THE
APPROVAL LAST NOVEMBER WHICH MANY OF YOU MAY RECALL BECAUSE
MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE WAS HEAVILY INVOLVED WITH AND BRIAN.
WE ENDED UP WITH A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND ALSO LICENSE

AGREEMENT TO, ONE, IMPROVE THE PARK AND THE GREENWAY TO
REALLY SERVE AS CONNECTOR FOR THIS BIKE PATH WHICH WILL BE
HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO DO AND TO MAINTAIN.
IN EXCHANGE FOR THAT, HE GOT APPROXIMATELY 65 ADDITIONAL
PARKING SPACES, WHICH ARE NOT BEING COUNTED OR NOT ALLOWED
TO BE COUNTED ON OUR SITE PLAN FOR PARKING, BUT THAT WAS
KIND OF THE QUID PRO QUO FOR THAT.
AND THERE ARE ADDITIONAL SPACES AS WELL WHICH WILL NOT BE
EXCLUSIVE.
SO WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE PROVIDING ADEQUATE PARKING AND
MS. CLARK WILL HAVE SOME COMMENTS ON THAT AS WELL.
I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU THAT LANDSCAPE OF HOW THIS IS ALL
COMING TOGETHER.
JUST SO YOU KNOW, IN CASE THE QUESTION IS ASKED, THE PARK
AND THE IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDING THE PARKING ARE ALL REQUIRED
TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE C.O. OF PHASE ONE.
SO CLEARLY IN ADVANCE OF PHASE TWO.
SO THAT'S THE OVERVIEW.
GLADLY YOU MIGHT REMEMBER THE WAR BETWEEN MACDILL AIR FORCE
BASE AND US LAST TIME.
WE BROKERED PEACE THEN.
THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY FINE WITH THIS REQUEST.
WE ALSO REACHED OUT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, AND
HAVE NO OBJECTIONS AT ALL TO THIS SITE.
WITH THAT, I'LL LET ADDIE ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THE

WAIVERS AND SPECIFICALLY ON PARKING AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
10:04:43PM >> ADDIE CLARK, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE SLIDE OF WHAT THESE HOTELS COULD LOOK
LIKE.
AGAIN, THE MAXIMUM OF SIX STORIES FOR BOTH THE WESTERN HOTEL
AND THE EASTERN HOTEL.
WE ARE HAPPY TO FIND -- TO HAVE FINDINGS OF CONSISTENCY
AMONG STAFF EXCEPT FOR TRANSPORTATION AS MENTIONED DUE TO
THAT WAIVER, WHICH WE WILL GET INTO, I PROMISE.
AGAIN, WE HAVE THREE NATURAL RESOURCES WAIVERS AND THEN ONE
PARKING WAIVER.
STARTING WITH THE NATURAL RESOURCES FIRST, WE ARE REQUESTING
TO REDUCE THE TEN FOOT USE TO USE BUFFER AS STEPHANIE
MENTIONED TO ZERO ON THE EAST AND THAT IS ADJACENT TO THAT
CITY GREENWAY PROPERTY.
SO YOU CAN SEE THAT RIGHT THERE.
WE FELT THAT WAS PRETTY APPROPRIATE GIVEN THAT THE BUILDING
IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE PARKING LOT.
AND THEN THIS WAIVER HERE IS ABOUT THE LANDSCAPE ISLAND.
THIS IS A PRETTY COMMON REQUEST THAT I THINK YOU ALL SEE
PRETTY OFTEN AS WE BELIEVE THAT A NINE FOOT WIDE LANDSCAPE
ISLAND STILL ALLOWS FOR APPROPRIATE AND NICE TREE PLANTINGS
WITHIN THOSE LANDSCAPE ISLANDS WHILE ALSO BALANCING THAT
ABILITY TO HAVE YOUR SITE CIRCULATION IN THAT PARKING LOT

AND THE BREAKING UP OF A PARKING LOT WITH GREENERY AS MUCH
AS POSSIBLE.
GOING INTO BUFFERING, OUR REQUEST IS TO REDUCE THAT EIGHT
FOOT VUA BUFFER TO ZERO FOOT.
THE GREEN ARROWS SHOW EXACTLY WHERE WE'RE PROPOSING THAT TO
BE APPLIED.
STEPHANIE SHOWED THAT AS WELL.
REALLY, THE IMPETUS OF THAT BECAUSE SHOWN IN YELLOW, WE DO
HAVE A NEW FIVE FOOT SIDEWALK THAT WILL BE INTERNAL TO THE
PROJECT BOUNDARY, AND WE WILL BE PROVIDING AN EASEMENT FOR
THAT.
SO THERE WAS JUST A LITTLE BIT OF A CONSTRAINT ON SPACE
THERE.
GOING INTO PARKING FOR, WE ARE REQUESTING A REDUCTION AND
PROVIDE PARKING TO ALLOW 84 SPACES ON THIS PROJECT SITE.
BUT, AGAIN, TRUETT DID A GREAT JOB AT KIND OF LOOKING AT THE
WHOLE PICTURE AS TO HOW THIS WILL OPERATE IN THE FUTURE.
THE OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY, WHICH IS OUTLINED IN RED, DOES
HAVE THE EXCLUSIVE USE TO THE PARKING SPACES AND THE
PROPERTY TO THE EAST IN THE GREEN.
THAT LICENSE AGREEMENT, WHICH WAS SIGNED AND DEEDED NOVEMBER
18, 2024, JUST OVER A YEAR AGO, ALLOWS PINEWOOD, THE OWNER
OF THE RED PROPERTY, TO HAVE 24/7 ACCESS TO THOSE PARKING
SPACES IN RETURN FOR THE BUILDING OF THE PARKING AND OF THE
GREENWAY PREMISES SHOWN IN GREEN AGAIN.

THAT NUMBER, THAT 65 SPACES DOES NOT INCLUDE, AND WE CANNOT
COUNT FOR THE 13 ON-STREET SPACES THAT WILL EITHER BE ON
PINEWOOD OR MARCUM OR A MIX OF BOTH.
AND THOSE 13 SPACES WERE DEFINED AND REQUIRED PER THE
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT WAS AGREED UPON AND EXECUTED AND
RECORDED LAST NOVEMBER.
SO WE BELIEVE THAT THE PARKING PROVIDED IS SUFFICIENT AND
APPROPRIATE AS THERE WILL BE SOME OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES
BETWEEN THE TWO HOTELS, GIVEN THAT EMPLOYEES AND GUESTS MAY
BE GOING FROM ONE TO THE OTHER.
REGARDING THAT LICENSE AGREEMENT, THE PD PLAN DOES NOT
CURRENTLY REFERENCE THAT AGREEMENT.
AGAIN, THAT WAIVER CANNOT INCLUDE THOSE NUMBER OF PARKING
SPACES, BUT WE WOULD BE HAPPY, IF COUNCIL'S DESIRE, TO PUT A
NOTE ON THE SITE PLAN REFERRING TO THAT AGREEMENT AND JUST
ABOUT THE ABILITY FOR THIS PROPERTY OWNER TO UTILIZE THE
PROPERTY IN THE GREEN.
BUT AGAIN, THAT WAIVER WOULD BE AS SHOWN HERE IN NUMBER ONE.
A LITTLE BIT MORE INTO THE JUSTIFICATION OF THE PARKING,
THIS GRAPH SHOWS AGAIN HOW WE'LL OPERATIONALLY USE 149
SPACES.
THAT IS THE 84 PLUS THE 65.
AND THEN 13 ON STREET SPACES ON TOP OF THAT.
AND HOW THAT NUMBER IS ACTUALLY GREATER THAN THE AVERAGE
PARKING DEMAND THAT THE INSTITUTE OF TRANSPORTATION

ENGINEERS IN THEIR NEW PARKING GENERATION MANUAL, THE SIXTH
EDITION WHICH JUST CAME OUT, ACTUALLY PUTS FOR A HOTEL.
A HOTEL THIS SIZE WITH 215 ROOMS THAT ITE PARKING EDITION
SAYS ONLY 130 SPACES ARE REQUIRED.
SO WE ARE A LITTLE BIT ABOVE THAT.
WITH THAT, WE ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU.
10:09:00PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?
PERSONALLY, I THINK HAVING THAT NOTE ON THE SITE PLAN WOULD
NOT BE A BAD IDEA.
I THINK THAT'S REASONABLE.
10:09:13PM >> OKAY.
WE DO HAVE A DRAFT OF THAT.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR EVERYONE TO SEE.
IF THERE ARE TWEAKS TO THE LANGUAGE WE WOULD BE OPEN TO
DISCUSS THAT, BUT WE WANTED TO KIND OF ASSIST WITH A QUICK
DRAFT.
10:09:28PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I DON'T KNOW HOW OTHERS FEEL.
I'M COMFORTABLE LEAVING IT BETWEEN YOU AND STAFF BETWEEN
FIRST AND SECOND READING.
10:09:39PM >> TRUETT GARDNER.
THAT'S ABSOLUTELY FINE.
I THINK IT DOES PROVIDE THAT ASSURANCE THAT PARKING IS GOING
TO BE PROVIDED.
10:09:47PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THERE IS ANOTHER AGREEMENT, BUT I DON'T THINK

IT HURTS AS WE HAVE BEEN TALKING A LOT ABOUT SITE PLANS AND
THINGS THAT ARE ON THEM FOR FUTURE COUNCILS.
NEVER A BAD IDEA.
10:09:58PM >> WE ARE 100% AMENABLE TO THAT.
10:10:01PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
IS THERE ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS
ITEM?
I RECOGNIZE ALL THESE OTHER FACES SO I'M GUESSING NOT.
MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA.
SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
ALL IN FAVOR?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WE ARE ON TO CASE 11.
10:12:04PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
AGAIN, FOR THE RECORD, CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE WITH DEVELOPMENT
COORDINATION.
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 11 IS REZ-26-01.

STREET FROM RS 50 TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR SINGLE-FAMILY
DETACHED USES.
THE AERIAL SHOWN HAS THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN RED.
IT IS LOCATED ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF WEST SPRUCE STREET.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED EAST OF NORTH ALBANY AVENUE AND
WEST OF NORTH FREMONT AVENUE.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPED WITH THREE
SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED USES WITH CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURE

I WILL NOTE THAT ON THE AERIAL, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
PROPERTIES SCATTERED THROUGHOUT WITH PLANNED DEVELOPMENT

I WOULD NOTE THAT MANY, NOT ALL, BUT MANY OF THE PROPERTIES

WITH PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING WERE ZONED AS PART OF THE
WEST TAMPA REDEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE IN 2005 OR THE WEST
TAMPA REDEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE PHASE TWO, WHICH WAS APPROVED

ELEVATIONS, EAST AND WEST.
NEXT WE HAVE THE ELEVATIONS FOR PARCEL B AND I DO WANT TO

THIS IS LOOKING EAST DOWN THAT ALLEYWAY.
LASTLY, WE HAVE A VIEW LOOKING WEST DOWN THE ALLEY IN THE
DISTANCE THERE IS NORTH ALBANY.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE
PETITION.
WE FIND THE REQUEST INCONSISTENT WITH THE APPLICABLE CITY OF
TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, NOTWITHSTANDING STAFF'S
FINDING OF INCONSISTENCY, IF CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THE
APPLICATION AND WAIVERS REQUESTED, THE MODIFICATION TO THE
SITE PLAN AS SHOWN ON THE SUBMITTED REVISION SHEET MUST BE
COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.

THESE REVISIONS WILL NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUES OF
TRANSPORTATION'S INCONSISTENT FINDING.
AND I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
10:18:56PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS BY COUNCIL?
YES, MS. STEELE.
10:19:08PM >>QUINN STEELE:
QUINN STEELE, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
SUBJECT SITE LOCATED WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING
DISTRICT.
OLD WEST TAMPA NEIGHBORHOOD AND WEST TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE.
ALSO WITHIN EVACUATION ZONE D.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED IN PURPLE AND DESIGNATED
RESIDENTIAL 20 WHICH SURROUNDS THE SITE TO THE EAST, SOUTH,
WEST WITH R 35 TO THE NORTH OF SPRUCE STREET.
THIS PORTION OF WEST SPRUCE STREET IS PRIMARILY DEVELOPED
WITH SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES WITH SOME COMMERCIAL USES
TO THE WEST AND CHURCH IMMEDIATELY NORTH.
PROPOSED REZONING WOULD ALLOW FOUR SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED
UNITS ON AN UNDERUTILIZED SITE.
FOR THE RECORD, ONE SECTION OF OUR STAFF REPORT INCORRECTLY
REFERENCED TWO UNITS.
HOWEVER, THE REQUEST IS FOR FOUR UNITS.
THE PROPOSAL IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED
UNDER THE R-20 DESIGNATION.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FOUND IT
PROVIDES COMPATIBLE INFILL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN AN URBAN

VILLAGE AND NEAR TRANSIT AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES.
THE PD INCLUDES SIDEWALKS ALONG WEST SPRUCE STREET AND NORTH
ALBANY AVENUE AND PROPOSES ACCESS FROM THE ALLEY.
OVERALL PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FINDS THE PROPOSED PD
CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR
ANY QUESTIONS.
10:20:11PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
ANY QUESTIONS?
PETITIONER?
10:20:21PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
I'M NOT SURE HOW TO DISPLAY THESE.
YOU DON'T HAVE AN EASEL.
I DO HAVE AN -- THE SAME ONES ON OVERLAY.
10:20:31PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WE HAVE A VOLUNTEER WHO WILL BE A HUMAN
EASEL.
10:20:42PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
STEVE MICHELINI REPRESENTING THE
PETITIONER.
THEY HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND THEY ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE
WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
THESE ARE INDIVIDUAL SINGLE-FAMILY UNITS.
THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT CONCEPTS.
THIS IS THE PIPIT CONCEPT AND THIS IS THE AVOCET.
AGAIN, THEY HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND DETERMINED TO BE
CONSISTENT WITH WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
10:21:28PM >> THREE UNITS BY RIGHT, REQUESTING FOURTH UNIT WITH BONUS
AGREEMENT.

WE ARE IN DISCUSSIONS.
THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE FUNDING FOR CRA FOR THIS TWO
WEEKS AGO.
SO IT WILL BE ASSISTED BY CRA FUNDING.
AND IT IS DESIGNED TO BE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
THE ALLEY ISSUE IS THE INCONSISTENCY FINDING BY THE CITY AND
COUNCIL, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE OF THE WEST TAMPA
OVERLAY, WE'RE REQUIRED TO USE THE ALLEY, EVEN THOUGH IT'S
REALLY NOT SUFFICIENT SIZE.
BUT IF YOU CONSIDER IT TO BE A ONE-WAY ALLEY FOR ACCESS TO
THE REAR WHERE THE GARAGES ARE, IT WOULD WORK THAT WAY.
THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DONE.
WE SIMPLY ADJUSTED IT SO THAT YOU HAVE THE GARAGES AND THE
SURFACE PARKING FOR EACH OF THE UNITS.
THERE'S TWO FOR EACH UNIT.
WE MEET THE GREENSPACE.
WE HAVE THE CRA APPROVAL.
THE CITY COUNCIL, CITY STAFF HAS FOUND IT TO BE CONSISTENT
-- I'M SORRY, THE CITY STAFF HAS NOT BECAUSE OF THE
INCONSISTENCY WITH TRANSPORTATION.
BUT THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS FOUND IT TO BE CONSISTENT.
SO IT IS AN IDEAL UNIT.
THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT CONCEPT.
THIS IS A NARROWER UNIT THAN YOU ARE USED TO SEEING, SO IT
MAKES IT MORE AFFORDABLE.

WE'VE HAD THOSE DISCUSSIONS WITH YOU ALL INDIVIDUALLY ABOUT
TRYING TO MODIFY THE SIZE OF THE UNITS, NOT GOING TO MINIS,
BUT THESE ARE SMALLER UNITS WHICH MAKES THEM MORE
AFFORDABLE.
THAT'S REALLY THE CONCEPT WE'RE TRYING TO ADVANCE.
IF YOU REMEMBER THE PHOTOGRAPHS YOU JUST SAW IN THE WEST
TAMPA, THE PHOTOGRAPHS YOU JUST SAW, IT HAD A SHOTGUN STYLE
HOME THAT WAS ABOUT THE SAME SIZE.
ANYWAY, THE REQUEST SUPPORTS MANY OF THE POLICIES IN THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND RELATES TO HOUSING POPULATION AND THE
NEED.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUPPORTS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN
INTENTION OF SIDEWALKS ALONG SPRUCE AND NORTH ALBANY.
SITUATED IN WEST SPRUCE, SURROUNDING AREA IS CHARACTERIZED
BY SINGLE-FAMILY -- WE'RE NOT INTRODUCING A NEW CONCEPT.
IT IS RAMPANT THROUGHOUT THIS AREA.
OVERALL, RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES WE MEET THAT.
MOBILITY SECTION, WE MEET THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE WIDTH OF THE
ALLEY.
INFRASTRUCTURE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES ADEQUATE SITES FOR
ACCOMMODATING HOUSING NEEDS.
IN THE CONTEXT, OVERALL, I'M TRYING TO SAVE YOU TIME.
WE'RE ALL TIRED.
ANYWAY, IT MEETS THE CODE.
IT DOES WHAT IT IS INTENDED TO DO.

IT ENCOURAGES -- PROMOTES EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF
PROPERTY, ENCOURAGES FLEXIBLE LAND USE, PROMOTES, ENCOURAGES
DEVELOPMENT, PROMOTES MORE DESIRABLE LIVING CONDITIONS,
PROMOTES ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES.
AS I SAID, VERY ATTRACTIVE DEVELOPMENT.
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL.
THE BONUS AGREEMENT WE'LL HAVE TO READ AT THE SECOND
READING.
IT DOES INCLUDE THAT, AND THERE IS ALSO A PROVISION ON THE
SITE PLAN THAT SAYS WE MUST MEET THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY
DESIGN GUIDELINES.
10:24:47PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
MR. MIRANDA OR COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
10:24:49PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I JUST READ THE OTHER ONE.
10:24:52PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YOU HAD YOUR LIGHT ON.
10:24:54PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I'M SORRY.
10:24:57PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
10:24:58PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I HAD A BRIEFING ON THIS, AND I LOOKED AT THE SUPPORTING
DOCUMENTS, I WANTED TO HATE IT AND SAY NO BECAUSE, AND YOU
SHOWED THE PHOTO OF THE THREE HISTORIC HOMES.
I THINK THOSE ARE THREE ORIGINAL SHOTGUN HOMES FROM THE
EARLY DAYS WITH THE -- CIGAR WORKER HOMES.
HOWEVER, NOW THAT I'VE SEEN THE DESIGNS THAT YOU'RE DOING,
BEING THAT THIS IS AN HISTORIC AREA, IT IS OLD WEST TAMPA,

IT DOES COMPLEMENT THE AREA.
AND LOOKING AT THE CONDITION OF THOSE HOMES, YOU CAN TELL
THAT -- I MEAN, I HAVEN'T BEEN INSIDE, I DON'T KNOW, BUT
THEY ARE BOARDED UP.
THEY ARE MADE OF WOOD, THEY MUST BE BECAUSE USUALLY THEY
ARE.
THEY ARE FALLING APART INSIDE AND THEY ARE NOT SALVAGEABLE.
BUT YOU'RE REPLACING IT WITH SOMETHING THAT I THINK
COMPLEMENTS THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IS VERY GOOD.
I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE THREE BY RIGHT AND THREE HOMES THERE
NOW.
BUT THOSE THREE HOMES HAVE PRETTY ADEQUATE SPACE IN BETWEEN.
SO INTRODUCING THAT FOURTH ONE, BEING THAT THESE ARE OF
SMALLER SCALE I THINK WOULD GO WELL TOGETHER ON THIS SITE
AND COMPLEMENT THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
BECAUSE THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLE, THERE ARE A LOT OF FEATURES
THAT ARE SIMILAR TO WHAT'S AROUND IT SO I'M GOING TO SUPPORT
IT.
I'M SURPRISED, PLEASANTLY SURPRISED THAT IT'S --
10:26:27PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
TO MAKE YOU FEEL A LITTLE BETTER, THE
DEMOLITION AND THE REMOVAL OF THOSE UNITS HAS BEEN REVIEWED
ALREADY BY THE CITY HISTORIC PRESERVATION FOLKS.
WE HAVE AN ENGINEERING REPORT INDICATING THAT THE
DETERIORATION HAD EXCEEDED WHAT COULD BE RESTORED
REASONABLY.

AND WE HAVE APPROVAL TO REMOVE THOSE UNITS.
10:26:46PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
YEAH, NO, NO.
I UNDERSTAND.
10:26:48PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
I WANTED TO PUT IT ON THE RECORD.
10:26:51PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THAT PUTS ME MORE EASE IN EVERYTHING
THAT I SAID.
NO, I LIKE THE DESIGNS.
AGAIN, IT'S AN AREA -- I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS A CHURCH
ACROSS THE STREET ORIGINALLY OR IF IT WAS A CIGAR FACTORY AT
ONE POINT AND CONVERTED TO A CHURCH.
BUT KNOWING HOW THAT NEIGHBORHOOD IS AND HISTORIC
SIGNIFICANCE, THIS IS COMPLEMENTARY TO IT.
I'M GOOD.
10:27:15PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANYONE ELSE?
I LOVE THESE.
I DON'T JUST LOVE THEM.
I LOVE THEM.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS I PARTICULARLY LIKE ABOUT THIS IS THAT
YOU BROUGHT THE FACADE AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT.
YOU HEARD US EARLIER TONIGHT.
IT'S VERY CLEAR WHAT THESE ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE.
WE APPRECIATE THAT.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
I PARTICULARLY LOVE THAT THESE ARE SMALLER, THAT THESE ARE
NARROWER, THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD THEM,

EVEN BEFORE I KNEW THAT THIS WAS PART OF CITY OF TAMPA, THE
CRA PROJECT THAT WE GAVE MONEY TO THIS PROJECT, I JUST
REALLY LIKE THESE.
AND THIS IS THE KIND OF STUFF THAT WE HAD SOMEONE SPEAK IN
PUBLIC COMMENT THIS MORNING AT THE CRA SAYING THIS IS WHAT
WE NEED IN EAST TAMPA.
I DON'T DISAGREE.
THIS IS THE NARROWER LOTS, THE ABILITY TO BUILD SOME OF
THESE NARROWER STRUCTURES SO THAT THEY CAN BE AFFORDABLE.
I JUST REALLY WANT TO SAY I APPRECIATE THAT THERE IS A
LARGER DEVELOPER COMING IN TO SHOW THIS SO THAT HOPEFULLY WE
CAN GET MORE OF THESE THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
10:28:26PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO SEE CERTAINLY
BASED ON THE EARLIER DISCUSSIONS, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE BETTER
DRAWINGS REGARDING DESIGN AND THE COMMITMENTS, OBVIOUSLY,
THAT THE WEST TAMPA OR WHATEVER THE OVERLAYS ARE.
10:28:40PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I JUST HAVE ONE BURNING QUESTION.
WHAT IS AN AVOCET?
10:28:47PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
I DIDN'T NAME IT.
10:28:52PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IT'S A BIRD.
OKAY.
IS THAT THE BIRD ON TOP?
10:28:57PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
I'M NOT SURE I KNOW WHAT A PIPIT IS
EITHER.
10:29:02PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I'M PRETTY SURE THAT IS A BIRD.

SO RANDOM BIRDS.
GOOD TO KNOW.
10:29:35PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE, DEVELOPMENT
COORDINATION.
GIVEN COUNCIL'S FONDNESS FOR THESE PARTICULAR ELEVATIONS, I
WANTED TO SUGGEST US WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT TO ADD SOME
LANGUAGE TO THE SITE PLANS TO REFERENCE THESE TWO SPECIFIC
ELEVATIONS.
I BELIEVE -- ONLY THE TOP ONE.
OKAY.
AVOCET AND PIPIT.
IF YOU ARE SO INCLINED, WE CAN WORK WITH THEM ON ADDING
LANGUAGE TO THE SITE PLANS TO REFLECT THESE AND HAVE THESE
APPROVED OR CONSIDERED FOR APPROVAL AT SECOND READING.
10:30:10PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT.
I WOULD SAY, YES, LET'S ADD A NOTE TO THE SITE PLAN ABOUT
THOSE PARTICULAR ELEVATIONS.
OKAY.
IS THERE ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS
ITEM?
I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.

COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG, ANYTHING?
10:36:45PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
OVER THE WEEKEND, I WENT TO THE CIGAR FESTIVAL
IN CENTENNIAL PARK IN YBOR.
I DO NOT SMOKE CIGARS, BUT IT WAS VERY COOL.
I TALKED TO A FEW PEOPLE AND THERE ARE PEOPLE FROM LIKE ALL
OVER.
THERE WAS A GENTLEMAN I MET WHO CAME ALL THE WAY FROM
DETROIT, AND THERE ARE PEOPLE FROM LITERALLY ALL OVER.
EVEN THOUGH IT WAS RAINING, THERE WERE PEOPLE STILL OUT
THERE.
I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY COOL.
I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE SO MANY TYPES OF CIGARS.
I KNOW THE HISTORY AROUND CIGARS, ESPECIALLY IN YBOR, SO IT
WAS VERY COOL TO SEE THAT.
I GOT REALLY DELICIOUS LEMONADE.
IT WAS VERY NICE.

I WANTED TO FEEL LIKE I GOT SOMETHING, BUT IT WAS REALLY
COOL.
MY CONTINUED TOUR OF JUST GOING, EXPLORING THE DISTRICT EVEN
MORE THAN WHAT I KNOW.
IT'S VERY, VERY COOL TO SEE.
10:37:41PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IT IS A FUN PART OF OUR JOB.
COUNCILMAN VIERA.

THANK YOU -- [INAUDIBLE] THERE YOU GO.
SUNDAY EVENING.
I KNOW, RIGHT?
HANUKKAH MIRACLE.
JUST HAPPY HANUKKAH.
I KNOW SUNDAY EVENING I THINK IT IS, THE MENORAH LIGHTING

I CAN'T MAKE IT BECAUSE OF A FOREST HILLS CHRISTMAS EVENT.
10:38:06PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
UNFORTUNATELY I ALREADY SAID YES TO THE GOLF
CART PARADE AND BIKE PARADE.

10:38:43PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
10:38:44PM >>BILL CARLSON:
WHEN I CAME BACK AT 5:00, THE TRAFFIC FROM
DOWNTOWN WAS BACKED UP ALL THE WAY TO ROME AGAIN.
AND WE HAVE THAT COMING UP ON THE AGENDA IN JANUARY.
BUT THE SECOND THING THAT HAPPENED, AS I GOT CLOSE TO
DOWNTOWN, THERE WERE SIRENS EVERYWHERE.
AND THEN THERE WAS A SHERIFF'S DEPUTY SEPARATING EVERYBODY.
I WAS A BLOCK FROM HERE AND COULDN'T GO STRAIGHT.
WAS NOT ALLOWED TO GO STRAIGHT BUT EVERYBODY WAS SUPPOSED TO
SWITCH AND THEN SUDDENLY THREE BUSES WENT BY.
I THOUGHT SOME CATASTROPHE HAPPENED DOWNTOWN.
WE HEARD SEVERAL DIFFERENT SIRENS LATER.
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ASK STAFF TO PRESENT ON
FEBRUARY 5 AS TO THE PEOPLE AND REASONS ELIGIBLE FOR POLICE
ESCORT AND A DISCUSSION ABOUT BETTER MANAGING IT.
10:39:37PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YEAH, THAT IS A REALLY GOOD POINT BECAUSE ONE
OF MY NEIGHBORS WHO IS FORMER MILITARY AND FORMER DEA JUST
SAYS THAT'S JUST ABSOLUTELY WRONG.
HE COMPLAINS ABOUT IT EVERY SINGLE TIME IT HAPPENS AND JUST
SAYS HE CAN'T BELIEVE WE ALLOW THAT.
10:39:54PM >>BILL CARLSON:
WE ALREADY HAVE CONGESTION DOWNTOWN BUT THAT

WAS AN UNSAFE SITUATION.
CARS WERE ALMOST HITTING EACH OTHER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF
THE BUSES.
10:40:05PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I REALLY THOUGHT THERE WAS A MASS CASUALTY.
IT WAS JUST BUSES FOR --
10:40:16PM >>BILL CARLSON:
WHATEVER IT IS, IT WOULD BE GOOD TO FIND OUT
WHAT ARE THE CATEGORIES.
IF THE PRESIDENT COMES TO TOWN, SURE, GOVERNOR MAYBE.
BUT IF IT IS THE BUCS FOOTBALL PLAYERS OR IS IT COACHES OR
FANS, I DON'T KNOW.
BUT THAT CREATED AN UNSAFE SITUATION TODAY.
WE HEARD IT THREE TIMES.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES IT HAPPENED.
10:40:38PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
