FOR THE RECORD, CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE WITH DEVELOPMENT
COORDINATION.
AGENDA ITEM 1 IS REZ 26-06.
THIS IS A REQUEST TO REZONE 4420 WEST CARMEN STREET FROM RS
50 TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY
ATTACHED USES.
THIS ITEM WAS CONTINUED TO TONIGHT'S AGENDA.
IT WAS VOTED TO PLACE AS THE FIRST ITEM ON THE AGENDA.
LAST MONTH, THERE WAS NOT AN AUTHORIZED AGENT PRESENT TO
SPEAK AND ANSWER QUESTIONS.
BEFORE I GO INTO ANY PRESENTATION, I WANTED TO ASK, DOES THE
COUNCIL WISH FOR A FULL PRESENTATION OR CONDENSED
PRESENTATION GIVEN THAT WE WERE CONTINUED TO TONIGHT'S
HEARING?
5:11:10PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I THINK WE HAVE A CONSENSUS THAT CONDENSED IS
FINE.
5:11:13PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
THANK YOU.
AT THIS TIME, I'LL YIELD TO PLANNING COMMISSION.
5:11:25PM >> MEAGHAN McCARTHY, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
THIS IS REZ 26-06 LOCATED IN THE WESTSHORE PLANNING DISTRICT
AND WESTSHORE PALMS NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN EVACUATION ZONE A.
THIS PORTION OF WEST CARMEN STREET BETWEEN NORTH HESPERIDES
STREET AND NORTH MANHATTAN AVENUE CONTAINS MAINLY
SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES WITH MULTIFAMILY TO THE SOUTH.
LAND OWNED BY F.D.O.T. BORDERING I-275 IS TO THE NORTH AND
TECO SUBSTATION AT THE END OF THE BLOCK IS TO THE EAST.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE RESIDENTIAL 20
DESIGNATION.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE APPLICATION AND
FOUND NO ADVERSE IMPACTS TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE REZONING WILL ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL HOUSING WITHIN THE
WESTSHORE PALMS NEIGHBORHOOD AND MEETS POLICY DIRECTION FOR
INFILL DEVELOPMENT ON UNDERUTILIZED PARCELS.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY RESIDENTIAL
20 SUPPORTS MEDIUM AND LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT,
INCLUDING THE PROPOSED SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED.
THE PROPOSED PD WOULD DEVELOP THE PARCEL AT 16.6 DWELLING
UNITS PER ACRE, CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED
UNDER THE R-20 DESIGNATION.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS DETERMINED THAT THE PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT FOR FOUR SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED UNITS IS BOTH
COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA AND
PROVIDES ADDITIONAL HOUSING AND PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION IN
PROXIMITY TO THE WESTSHORE EMPLOYMENT CENTER AND NORTH
WESTSHORE BOULEVARD, A TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDOR LOCATED TWO
BLOCKS TO THE EAST.
BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
5:13:02PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY QUESTIONS?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
5:13:12PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
FOR THE RECORD AGAIN, CHRISTOPHER
DEMANCHE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
THE SUBJECT SITE ON THE AERIAL IS OUTLINED IN RED.
IT'S LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF WEST CARMEN STREET.
THE SUBJECT BLOCK IS LOCATED EAST OF NORTH HESPERIDES STREET
AND WEST OF NORTH MANHATTAN AVENUE.
SURROUNDING USES INCLUDE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED DWELLINGS TO
THE EAST, TO THE SOUTH, AND TO THE WEST.
THE PROPERTY TO THE WEST IS ZONED RM 18.
WE ALSO HAVE I-275 TO THE NORTH.
THIS AREA OVERALL IS AN AREA IN TRANSITION.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF EXISTING PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONED
PROPERTIES SOUTHWEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE, WE HAVE TWO
PROPERTIES ZONED PD, IMPROVED WITH SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED
ALONG WITH SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF GRAY
STREET.
SOUTHEAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE, WE HAVE SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI
DETACHED USES, AND WE HAVE AN ADDITIONAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
ZONED PROPERTY DEVELOPED WITH SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED USES.
NEXT WE HAVE SITE PLAN.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS PROPOSED WITH FOUR UNITS.
THE FRONT DOOR FOR UNIT ONE FRONTS WEST CARMEN STREET.
THE FRONT DOORS FOR UNITS 2, 3, AND 4 ARE DIRECTED TOWARDS
THE EASTERN BOUNDARY LINE.
THERE IS A GUEST PARKING SPOT JUST SOUTH OF UNIT NUMBER 4.
NEXT WE ALSO HAVE ELEVATIONS TO SHOW.
MAX HEIGHT PROPOSED FOR THE UNITS IS 40 FEET.
ALSO WANT TO NOTE THAT THERE ARE TWO WAIVERS REQUESTED WITH
THE APPLICATION.
FIRST SECTION 27-282.
THIS IS A REQUEST TO ALLOW FOR FRONT DOORS OF UNITS 2, 3, 4
TO FACE A SIDE LOT LINE OR DRIVE AISLE RATHER THAN AN
INTERNAL COURTYARD OR RIGHT-OF-WAY.
THE SECOND WAIVER IS SECTION 27-284, THIS IS A REQUEST TO
REDUCE THE REQUIRED FIVE FOOT USE-TO-USE BUFFER TO FOUR FEET
ALONG THE WESTERN BOUNDARY AND TO THREE FEET ON THE SOUTHERN
BOUNDARY.
WE ALSO HAVE PHOTOS SHOWING THE SUBJECT SITE.
LOOKING NORTH.
SOUTH.
EAST.
AND WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION COMPLIANCE STAFF HAS REVIEWED THIS
APPLICATION AND WE FIND THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND
DEVELOPMENT CODE.
SHOULD IT BE THE PLEASURE OF CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE
APPLICATION, MODIFICATION TO SITE PLAN AS SHOWN ON THE
SUBMITTED REVISION SHEET MUST BE COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND
SECOND READING.
I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
5:16:16PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? DO WE HAVE AN
APPLICANT TONIGHT?
5:16:26PM >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.
FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS ARI ALEJO.
I'M HERE FOR REZ 26-06.
FIRST OFF, I'M A FIRST-GENERATION AMERICAN BORN AND RAISED
IN TAMPA, FLORIDA.
GROWING UP IN WHAT IS NOW CONSIDERED UPTOWN TAMPA, I HAVE
SEEN HOW THE CITY HAS EVOLVED AND DEVELOPED.
WITH THIS PROJECT, I AM HOPEFUL THAT MY CONSTRUCTION
EXPERIENCE WILL HELP PROGRESS THIS PROJECT FORWARD IN THE
CITY AS WELL.
BOTH THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF AND
PLANNING COMMISSION HAVE REVIEWED AND FOUND CONSISTENT WITH
THE APPLICABLE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AND
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THIS SMALL INFILL SITE SITS ON EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE
ADDING TO THE MISSING MIDDLE OWNERSHIP ORIENTED UNITS WHERE
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ALREADY HAS ANTICIPATED MORE THAN
JUST DETACHED HOMES, THE EXACT DIRECTION THE CITY IS MOVING
WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE.
I'M EXCITED BY THE CITY'S VISIONARY WESTSHORE REDEVELOPMENT
PLAZA.
THIS PROJECT ADDS MUCH-NEEDED WALKABLE HOUSING WITHIN
WALKING DISTANCE, STRENGTHENING THE WALKABLE VIBRANT FUTURE
JUST ON THE ROAD, .4 MILES TO BE EXACT.
IN SUMMARY, THIS REQUEST IS SUPPORTED AS CONSISTENT BY BOTH
CITY STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
IT PROVIDES COMPATIBLE INFILL TOWNHOME PRODUCT THAT ADDS
NEEDED HOUSING WITHOUT OVERWHELMING THE NEIGHBORHOOD FABRIC.
WITH THIS, WE POLITELY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL OF REZ 26-06.
5:17:55PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY QUESTIONS?
I HAVE A QUESTION.
WHEN LOOKING AT THE AERIAL MAP, IT SEEMS LIKE THE TOWN
HOUSES AND THE SURROUNDING ALL ARE FORWARD FACING.
5:18:06PM >> SO THERE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE RIGHT HERE.
IN THE SAME BLOCK, THERE IS ONE THAT HAS THE SAME
ORIENTATION AS THE ONE I'M PROPOSING AS WELL AS -- I
COULDN'T PUT IT ON THIS ONE.
SOUTHEAST CORNER, ANOTHER ONE HERE AND A COUPLE MORE IN THE
AREA AS WELL.
5:18:25PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SO WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO DO THESE FOUR
INSTEAD OF POSSIBLY THREE?
5:18:33PM >> JUST CONSISTENT WITH WHAT PDs WERE GOING ON AT THE
TIME.
I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE FEASIBLE AND DOABLE.
ACROSS THE STREET FROM 275.
HOPEFUL THAT IT ACTS AS A SOUND BARRIER AS WELL FOR THE
HOUSES BEHIND IT.
ALL THE HOUSES AND TENANTS ARE LOOKING AT 275 TRAFFIC AND
WHATNOT.
5:18:53PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
ANYONE ELSE?
DO WE HAVE ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK
TONIGHT?
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, PLEASE COME UP.
I DO HAVE SOME FOLKS ONLINE.
YES, IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK, IF YOU COULD COME AND STAND NEXT
TO THE WALL, AND YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.
IF THERE'S ONLY ONE, THEN YOU CAN COME RIGHT ON UP.
ALL WE ASK IS THAT YOU START WITH YOUR NAME.
HAS EVERYONE BEEN SWORN IN?
5:19:32PM >> YES.
5:19:32PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
GREAT.
5:19:33PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
MY NAME IS PASTOR THOMAS.
I'M THE PASTOR AND FOUNDER OF GRACE OF GOD MISSIONARY
BAPTIST CHURCH ON THE CORNER OF IDA AND 26th STREET.
I DON'T WANT TO BE LONG, BUT I JUST WANT TO JUST LET MY
VOICE BE HEARD TO THE COMMITTEE, WE ARE A LITTLE SMALL
CHURCH.
WE'VE BEEN SERVING THE COMMUNITY FOR OVER TEN YEARS, AND WE
HAVE A LITTLE SMALL CHURCH WHERE THE SURROUNDING TREES THAT
DON'T BELONGS TO US, THEY BELONGS TO THE CITY OF TAMPA.
AND THE TREES ARE INFECTED.
HOW DO I KNOW?
I SERVED AS PROJECT MANAGER FOR HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY IN PARK
AND RECREATIONS WHERE I DESIGNED AND BUILT PARKS FOR OVER 15
YEARS.
I CAN JUST ABOUT EXAMINE A LIVE OAK TREE JUST AS WELL AS AN
-- THOSE TREES AROUND ME ARE DYING AND INFECTED.
DURING THE LAST TWO PREVIOUS HURRICANES, THEY HAVE DAMAGED
MY ROOF ON THE EXISTING CHURCH.
I HAVE WENT BEFORE REZONING IN A HUMBLE MANNER TO TRY TO GET
MY CHURCH REBUILT, BUT I HAVE BEEN STUMBLING BLOCKS AND
SETBACKS ON THE NEW VARIANCES AND THE REQUIRED SETBACKS OF
THE OAK TREES.
I TOLD THEM I WOULD TRY TO GET THEM INSPECTED BUT THE
ARBITERS TOLD ME IT IS THE CITY OF TAMPA RESPONSIBILITY
BECAUSE IT'S THEIR TREES AND ON THEIR PROPERTY.
WE HAVE BEEN WITHIN THE LAST FOUR, FIVE MONTHS GOING AROUND
IN CIRCLES WITH THE REZONING DEPARTMENT, AND WE JUST GOT IT
PUT ON THE RIGHT APPLICATION WHERE WE HAVE BEEN STALLED AND
SET BACK.
NOW I SEE ACROSS THE STREET SOMEBODY IS BUILDING A
MULTIPURPOSE UNIT AND THEY ARE ASKING TO BE REZONED.
AND MY QUESTION IS THIS: WHY ARE THEY GETTING REZONED AND
CUTTING -- THEY'LL HAVE TO CUT DOWN AT LEAST FIVE OAK TREES,
OKAY, WHY ARE THEY GETTING THE REZONE TO CUT DOWN FIVE OAK
TREES AND AT THE SAME TIME, TOO, WE HAVE HELD OUR FEET TO
THE FIRE AND NOT TO TOUCH THOSE TREES.
NOW, I ONLY WANT TO ASK YOU, I DON'T WANT TO GIVE A WORD TO
IT.
YOU GIVE ME A WORD TO IT.
WHERE THAT YOU GET INVOLVED WITH THE ZONING COMMISSION AND
THE ZONING COMMISSION, WE TELL THEM THAT'S YOUR TREES.
YOU NEED IT INSPECTED.
AND THEY SAY WE'LL GET BACK WITH YOU.
LITTLE CAR LOT IN THE BACK OF MY CHURCH.
THEY WAS TOLD IT NEED TO BE REZONED AND THE TREES NEED TO BE
INSPECTED.
GUESS WHAT TREES THEY INSPECTED?
THE CITY OF TAMPA TREES.
SO THAT PUTS ME IN A QUERY.
MY TIME IS UP.
I'M JUST WORRIED.
THANK YOU.
GOD BLESS.
5:22:46PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT.
5:22:54PM >> GOOD EVENING.
MY NAME IS MATON KLEFF FOR THE RECORD.
I'M A RESIDENT.
SPEAKING FOR REZ 26-06.
I'M A RESIDENT.
I LIVE ON FIG STREET.
I ACTUALLY LIVE IN TOWN HOUSES JUST LIKE THE PROPOSED -- IS
PROPOSING WITH THE FOUR TOWN HOUSES.
I'M A SINGLE FATHER.
I'M SORRY.
I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS SPEAKING IN FRONT OF PUBLIC.
BUT I'M A SINGLE FATHER.
IF ANYONE IS FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY'LL SEE ME WALKING
AROUND WITH MY DAUGHTER AND A BACKPACK.
BUT I AM PERSONALLY FOR ADDING HIGHER DENSITY AND MORE TOWN
HOUSES TO THE AREA BECAUSE IF YOU KNOW THE NEIGHBORHOOD,
WESTSHORE PALMS, THERE ARE A LOT OF FAMILIES.
FOR MY DAUGHTER WHO IS ONE AND A HALF, I'M ALWAYS LOOKING
FORWARD TO HER MEETING NEW KIDS AND MEETING OTHER FAMILIES
AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
I JUST WANTED TO GET UP HERE IN FRONT OF CITY COUNCIL AND
SPEAK MY PIECE.
I APPRECIATE YOUR GUYS' TIME.
5:23:51PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT.
IF ANYONE ELSE WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS PETITION, PLEASE
STAND UP NOW.
5:23:58PM >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.
JAMES LASCARA.
DONE MULTIPLE PROJECTS IN THIS AREA ON MANHATTAN, GRAY, AND
FIG.
I THINK ADDING DENSITY IN A CONSIDERATE WAY IS REALLY
IMPORTANT FOR OUR CITY, ESPECIALLY IN AREAS NEAR THE KENNEDY
CORRIDOR WHERE IT IS WALKABLE TO SHOPS AND ALSO NEAR THE
WESTSHORE PLAZA REDEVELOPMENT.
I SUPPORT THIS PROPOSAL.
5:24:21PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WE HAVE TWO FOLKS ONLINE.
ARE THEY BOTH THERE?
THERE'S ONE.
IF YOU COULD PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND, MS. WOLF, SO YOU
CAN BE SWORN IN.
5:24:35PM >>THE CLERK:
DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT THE TESTIMONY YOU
ARE ABOUT TO PROVIDE IS THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH?
5:24:41PM >> I DO.
5:24:42PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
IF YOU COULD START WITH YOUR NAME.
AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.
5:24:46PM >> MY NAME IS ALEXANDRA WOLF.
HOPEFULLY YOU CAN HEAR ME.
I'M OBJECTING TO THIS REZONING APPLICATION.
THERE ARE TOO MANY PROPERTIES BEING REZONED TO MULTIFAMILY
IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD WITHOUT ANY CONCERN AS TO WHETHER OR
NOT OUR INFRASTRUCTURE CAN ACTUALLY HANDLE THE ADDITIONAL
DENSITY.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS ALREADY EXPERIENCED UNUSUAL AMOUNTS OF
FLOODING, AND I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO THE REDUCED
GREENSPACE.
ALSO, THE ADDITIONAL DENSITY DOES NOT SEEM TO ENSURE
SUFFICIENT PARKING.
IF YOU DRIVE THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD NOW, YOU'LL ALREADY
SEE NUMEROUS CARS PARKED ILLEGALLY ON THE RIGHT-OF-WAYS AS
WELL AS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD.
I'VE ALREADY PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED IT WHEN I'M DRIVING THAT
YOU CAN'T EVEN GET THROUGH THE ROAD.
SO IF AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE NEEDED TO GET THROUGH, THERE ARE
TIMES WHEN THAT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE.
THIS PARTICULAR SITE PLAN WITH THIS SIDE ENTRANCE IS
ESPECIALLY CONCERNING BECAUSE OWNERS CAN'T PARK IN THE
DRIVEWAY, THEY WILL PARK ON THE ROAD OR ON THE
RIGHT-OF-WAYS.
SO THESE SITE PLANS HAVE NOT BEEN BENEFICIAL TO OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT EVERY OTHER PROPERTY ON THE
BLOCK IS A SINGLE BUILDING, SINGLE-STORY BUILDING, AND THIS
SITE PLAN CALLS FOR THREE STORIES.
THE APPLICANT ALSO MENTIONED THE NEED FOR ADDED HOUSING IN
THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE OVER 20 TOWNHOMES.
NONE OF WHICH ARE SELLING AND HAVE BEEN ON THE MARKET FOR A
SIGNIFICANT PERIOD OF TIME.
I'M NOT SURE THAT THIS IS ADDRESSING A NEED OR A PERCEIVED
NEED FOR THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
ALSO, ME PERSONALLY, I OWN THE PROPERTY TO THE WEST OF THIS
SITE PLAN, SO I SERIOUSLY OBJECT TO THE REDUCED SETBACK.
I JUST URGE YOU TO CONSIDER WHAT ALL THIS REZONING IS DOING
TO OUR WESTSHORE PALMS NEIGHBORHOOD.
THANK YOU.
5:26:36PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
IS OUR SECOND PERSON ONLINE?
5:26:41PM >> I'M HERE.
5:26:42PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
MR. CASTILLO, IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, PLEASE TURN
YOUR CAMERA ON.
5:26:48PM >> I THOUGHT IT WAS ON.
5:26:50PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SEE YOU
IN ORDER TO TAKE TESTIMONY.
5:27:00PM >> I'M NOT AN I.T. PERSON.
I'M NOT SURE.
DOES THAT DO IT?
5:27:16PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
NO, UNFORTUNATELY, YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR
CAMERA ON, SIR.
5:27:20PM >> I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO TURN THE CAMERA ON.
LET ME SEE WHAT THIS DOES.
IT'S TRYING TO DO SOMETHING.
5:27:30PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I'M VERY SORRY, SIR.
IF THE CAMERA DOESN'T WORK, WE CAN'T TAKE YOUR TESTIMONY.
I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.
OH, IT'S ON YOUR DEVICE.
WHATEVER DEVICE YOU HAVE, YOU NEED TO TURN THE CAMERA ON.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TELL YOU HOW TO DO THAT.
5:27:58PM >> I DON'T KNOW.
5:27:59PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I'M SORRY.
IF WE CAN'T SEE YOU, WE CAN'T TAKE YOUR TESTIMONY.
I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.
5:28:06PM >> THAT'S FINE.
5:28:07PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.
OKAY.
SO IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO MAKE
COMMENTS?
IT IS NOW TIME FOR REBUTTAL.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO WHAT THE PUBLIC COMMENTERS HAD TO
SAY?
IF YOU WOULD, YOU HAVE TIME FOR REBUTTAL.
IF NOT, IT IS YOUR CHOICE.
5:28:32PM >> DON'T HAVE A COMMENT.
5:28:33PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
WE WILL GO AHEAD --

WOODLAND AVENUE.
ADDITIONALLY, VACANT LAND COMPRISES MUCH OF THE BLOCK
DIRECTLY ACROSS SOUTH MacDILL AVENUE TO THE EAST.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE RESIDENTIAL 20
DESIGNATION.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE APPLICATION AND
FOUND NO ADVERSE IMPACTS TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE R-20 DESIGNATION SUPPORTS MEDIUM AND LOW DENSITY
RESIDENTIAL AND LIMITED NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING COMMERCIAL
USES.
PROVIDED THE SITE MEETS LOCATIONAL CRITERIA, THE SUBJECT
SITE HAS A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED REZONING, Z 04-96 AND
THEREFORE IS NOT REQUIRED TO MEET LOCATIONAL CRITERIA AGAIN.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REQUESTS THE FINAL REVISED SITE
PLAN REFLECT SIDEWALK CONNECTION ALONG ALL BUILDING MAIN
ENTRANCES AND ADJACENT -- TWO ADJACENT PUBLIC RIGHTS OF AWAY
ALONG SOUTH MacDILL AVENUE, AS WELL AS FOR THE PROPOSED
F.A.R. OF .18 TO BE ADDED TO THE DATA TABLE BETWEEN FIRST
AND SECOND READING.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS FOUND THE DEVELOPMENT IS
COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT
PATTERN ALONG MacDILL AVENUE CORRIDOR.
THE REQUEST MEETS COMMERCIAL LOCATIONAL CRITERIA AND IS
COMPARABLE WITH THE HEIGHT AND INTENSITIES OF EXISTING PDs
IN THE AREA CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
WHILE SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES ARE DIRECTLY TO THE EAST OF
THE SITE, THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED REZONING CITES AN IMPROVED
WAIVER TO THE WEST AND SOUTH BUFFER REQUIREMENTS.
ADDITIONALLY, PROVIDED THE REQUESTED MODIFICATIONS TO THE
SITE PLAN ARE MET, THE PROPOSED PD SUPPORTS POLICIES RELATED
TO PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY NEAR WEST KENNEDY BOULEVARD, A
TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDOR.
IF APPROVED, THE SUBJECT SITE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING COMMERCIAL USES TO THE PALMA
CEIA NEIGHBORHOOD CONSISTENT WITH THE PLAN.
BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
FIND THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND
I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
5:33:15PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY
MUCH.
5:33:31PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE, DEVELOPMENT
COORDINATION.
HAVING A LOOK HERE AT THE AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE,
SUBJECT PROPERTY IS OUTLINED IN RED.
IT IS LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF SOUTH MacDILL AVENUE.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS ALSO LOCATED SOUTH OF WEST KENNEDY
BOULEVARD, AS WELL AS NORTH OF WEST AZEELE STREET.
LOOKING AT THE SUBJECT SITE AND THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES,
TO THE IMMEDIATE NORTH, WE HAVE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONED
PROPERTY.
THIS IS A MEDICAL OFFICE.
SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE WE HAVE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING
FOR ANOTHER MEDICAL OFFICE SITE.
ON THE EAST SIDE OF SOUTH MacDILL AVENUE, WE HAVE
COMMERCIAL GENERAL ZONING.
WE HAVE A DENTIST OFFICE ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE SUBJECT
PROPERTY.
IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF THE COMMERCIAL GENERAL ZONE PROPERTY WE
HAVE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING.
THIS SITE WAS APPROVED FOR SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED USES.
AND IMMEDIATELY WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE WE HAVE RS 60
ZONING.
THIS IS -- THIS AREA IS IMPROVED, ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD
WITH SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED USES.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS ALSO IMPROVED WITH THREE ONE-STORY
STRUCTURES.
WE ALSO HAVE THE SITE PLAN PROPOSED BY THE APPLICANT TO SHOW
NEXT.
HAVING A LOOK HERE AT THE SITE PLAN, WE HAVE BUILDING ONE,
BUILDING TWO, AND BUILDING THREE.
THERE IS A TWO-WAY DRIVEWAY LOCATED BETWEEN AN EXISTING
TWO-WAY DRIVEWAY LOCATED BETWEEN BUILDING ONE AND BUILDING
THREE.
SOUTH OF BUILDING THREE, WE HAVE AN EXIT-ONLY DRIVEWAY.
THERE IS A TOTAL OF 31 PARKING SPACES THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR
THIS SITE WITH 14 SURFACE PARKING SPACES AND ONE BIKE SPACE
PROVIDED ON THE SITE PLAN.
THERE IS ALSO -- I'LL SHOW ELEVATIONS NEXT.
ACTUALLY, WE DON'T HAVE ELEVATIONS WITH THIS BEING EXISTING.
WE HAVE SITE PHOTOS.
I'LL JUMP INTO THE WAIVER REQUEST.
NEXT WE HAVE THREE WAIVER REQUESTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
APPLICATION.
THE FIRST IS TO SECTION 27-283.
THIS IS TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED PARKING FROM 31 SPACES TO 14.
THIS WOULD BE A 54.8% REDUCTION ON THE SITE.
THE SECOND WAIVER IS TO ALLOW A REDUCTION IN AISLE WIDTH
FROM 18 FEET TO 16 FEET FOR ANGLED SPACES.
AND THAT IS LOCATED ALONG THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE SITE.
AND THE THIRD AND FINAL WAIVER IS TO SECTION 27-284.
THIS IS TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED 15-FOOT USE-TO-USE LANDSCAPE
BUFFER WITH A 6-FOOT TALL MASONRY WALL TO 0 FEET AND 6-FOOT
TALL WHITE FENCE TO THE WEST DUE TO EXISTING CONDITIONS.
THIS WOULD BE WEST OF BUILDING 2.
NOW WE HAVE SOME PHOTOS SHOWING THE SITE.
THIS IS A VIEW OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
THIS WAS TAKEN FROM THE EAST SIDE OF SOUTH MacDILL
AVENUE.
YOU CAN SEE BUILDING ONE IS IN THE FOREGROUND ALONG WITH
BUILDING THREE.
YOU CAN SEE BUILDING TWO IN THE DISTANCE.
THIS IS A CLOSE-UP OF BUILDING ONE CURRENTLY USED FOR A
SALON.
BUILDING TWO, WHICH IS LOCATED ALONG THAT WESTERN BOUNDARY.
BUILDING THREE MORE ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.
NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE, WE HAVE A MEDICAL OFFICE.
SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE, ANOTHER MEDICAL OFFICE.
LOOKING ACROSS SOUTH MacDILL, WE HAVE DENTIST OFFICE AND
THEN WE HAVE THE PARCEL APPROVED FOR SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED
USES.
AND THEN THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE
IMMEDIATE WEST ZONED RS 60.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF HAS REVIEWED THIS
APPLICATION, AND WE FIND THE REQUEST INCONSISTENT WITH THE
APPLICABLE CITY OF TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
SHOULD IT BE THE PLEASURE OF CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THIS
APPLICATION, FURTHER MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN MUST BE
COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING AS STATED ON THE
REVISION SHEET AND STAFF REPORT.
THESE REVISIONS WILL NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE OF
TRANSPORTATION'S FINDING OF INCONSISTENCY.
I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
5:37:53PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
APPLICANT?
5:38:03PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
START WITH AN UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS ON MacDILL
BETWEEN AZEELE AND KENNEDY BOULEVARD.
THESE ARE EXISTING CONDITIONS.
THERE'S NO CONSTRUCTION BEING PLANNED OR ANTICIPATED.
THESE ARE EXISTING BUILDINGS.
THIS IS BUILDING ONE.
5:38:32PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
CAN YOU ZOOM OUT A LITTLE BIT?
THANK YOU.
5:38:42PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
BUILDING TWO, AND BUILDING THREE.
THIS IS A REQUEST TO MAKE THESE BUILDINGS AND THE USES
CONFORMING.
THEY ARE CURRENTLY -- ONE IS A HAIR SALON, PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES, THEY WANT TO RETAIN.
AND MEDICAL OFFICE IS THERE.
NONCONFORMING.
SO THIS REQUEST WOULD MAKE THESE CONFORMING FOR THE USES
THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED.
THE HAIR SALON AND THE MEDICAL USES.
IT'S DESIGNATED AS R-20, AND THE WAIVERS THAT ARE BEING
REQUESTED ARE FOR EXISTING USES AND EXISTING DIMENSIONS.
AS I SAID, THERE'S NO NEW CONSTRUCTION BEING PLANNED HERE.
IT'S AN ADAPTIVE REUSE OF EXISTING BUILDINGS, SO IT SAVES
AND MAINTAINS THE EXISTING STRUCTURES AND EXISTING MEANS OF
INGRESS AND EGRESS.
THAT HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN THERE.
THE CRITERIA IS TO PROMOTE THE EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE USE
OF LAND, AND THIS DOES THIS BY MAINTAINING THE USE THAT'S
THERE.
IT RESERVES IT AND ALLOWS IT TO CONTINUE TO BE USED.
PROMOTE AND ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENTS WHERE APPROPRIATE IN
LOCATION.
THIS IS SURROUNDED BY OTHER MEDICAL OFFICES, BOTH NORTH AND
SOUTH OF IT AND ACROSS THE STREET.
WE ARE GOING TO PLAN TO IMPROVE THE BUILDINGS THROUGH
REMODELING AND RENOVATIONS.
HOWEVER, THE EXTERIORS AND THE FOOTPRINTS REMAIN THE SAME.
PROMOTE THE MORE DESIRABLE LIVING AND WORKING CONDITIONS.
THOSE OF YOU FAMILIAR WITH MacDILL AND AZEELE, THIS IS A
HUB OF MEDICAL OFFICES FOR SMALL PROVIDERS.
AND THIS WILL CONTINUE IN THAT VEIN.
PROMOTE THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLE.
AGAIN, THE BUILDINGS ARE WHAT THEY ARE.
THEY ARE BASICALLY VERNACULAR FROM THE 1940s, AND THEY
WILL NOT BE CHANGED.
AGAIN, THE TRANSPORTATION'S OBJECTION IS RELATED TO THE FACT
THAT PREVIOUSLY, BEFORE THEY HAD THE NEWER STANDARDS
REGARDING ACCESS WIDTHS AND DRIVE AISLES, THIS DID MEET THE
CODES AT THAT TIME.
IT SIMPLY DOESN'T MEET THEM NOW.
BUT WE CANNOT MAKE THEM ANY WIDER BECAUSE THE BUILDINGS
AREN'T BEING CONSTRUCTED NEW.
THEY ARE EXISTING AND PROMOTE THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLE AND
FEATURES.
THEY ARE ALL THREE EXISTING BUILDINGS, ONE STORY ON THE SITE
AND THEY WILL ALL BE RETAINED.
I GUESS THE ISSUE IS REALLY MAKING THEM CONFORMING AND
ALLOWING THEM TO CONTINUE TO EXIST AT THIS SITE, AT THIS
LOCATION, AND MOVING FORWARD.
I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
AS I SAID, THIS IS NOT NEW CONSTRUCTION, SO THE BUFFERS, THE
FENCING, THE ACCESS POINTS, THE DRIVE AISLES, THESE ARE ALL
EXISTING CONDITIONS AND WE'RE ASKING THAT THEY BE CONSIDERED
AS THE WAIVERS.
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
5:41:45PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY QUESTIONS?
I HAVE ONE.
SO IT'S CURRENTLY BEING USED AS A DOCTOR'S OFFICE.
AND YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO CONFORM.
5:41:58PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE THEM CONFORMING.
THERE'S ALSO A HAIR SALON IN ONE OF THE BUILDINGS AND THEY
WANTED TO MAKE THAT CONFORMING AS WELL.
5:42:04PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
BUT THE QUESTION WAS, THERE'S ALREADY A
MEDICAL OFFICE THERE.
5:42:07PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
YES.
5:42:08PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
THANK YOU.
ANYBODY ELSE?
IS THERE ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS?
OKAY.
CAN I GET A MOTION TO CLOSE?
I HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR?
AYE.
ANY OPPOSED?
OKAY.
COUNCILMAN VIERA.
5:42:25PM >>LUIS VIERA:
READ AN ORDINANCE PRESENTED FOR FIRST READING
CONSIDERATION, REZONING PROPERTY IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF
301 AND 305 SOUTH MacDILL AVENUE, IN THE CITY OF TAMPA,
FLORIDA AND MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1 FROM
ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION PD, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, TO
PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, MEDICAL OFFICE, PERSONAL SERVICES;
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
5:42:54PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
I HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA.
A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR?
AYE.
ANY OPPOSED?
5:43:02PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
5:43:05PM >>THE CLERK:
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY WITH CLENDENIN
ABSENT.
SECOND READING AND ADOPTION WILL BE HELD ON MAY 7, 2026 AT
10 A.M. AT OLD CITY HALL LOCATED AT 315 EAST KENNEDY
BOULEVARD, THIRD FLOOR, TAMPA, FLORIDA, 33602.
5:43:21PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NUMBER 4.
5:43:27PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
FOR THE RECORD, CHRISTOPHER
DEMANCHE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
ITEM 4 IS REZ 25-115, REQUEST TO REZONE 3724 WEST SAN PEDRO
STREET AND 3717 OBISPO STREET FROM RS 50 IN PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR BUSINESS,
PROFESSIONAL OFFICE AND MEDICAL OFFICE USES.
I'LL ALLOW PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF NOW TO PRESENT.
5:43:58PM >> MEAGHAN McCARTHY, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
THIS IS 25-115 LOCATED IN THE SOUTH TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT
AND PALMA CEIA NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN EVACUATION ZONE B.
THIS PORTION OF WEST SAN PEDRO STREET AND WEST OBISPO STREET
SURROUNDING THE SUBJECT SITE BETWEEN SOUTH STERLING AVENUE
AND SOUTH DALE MABRY HIGHWAY IS PRIMARILY DEVELOPED WITH
SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED DWELLING UNITS.
COMMERCIAL USES EXIST TO THE WEST ALONG SOUTH DALE MABRY
HIGHWAY.
1/2-MILE SOUTH IS BRITTON PLAZA.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE RESIDENTIAL 20 FUTURE
LAND USE CATEGORY.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE APPLICATION AND
FOUND NO ADVERSE IMPACTS TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE R-20 DESIGNATION SUPPORTS MEDIUM AND LOW DENSITY
RESIDENTIAL AND LIMITED NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING COMMERCIAL
USES, PROVIDED THE SITE MEETS LOCATIONAL CRITERIA.
THE PD PROPOSES CN USES INCLUDING PROFESSIONAL AND MEDICAL
OFFICE WHICH MEETS THESE CRITERIA BY HAVING ACCESS TO SOUTH
DALE MABRY HIGHWAY WHICH IS A TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDOR.
THE PD PROPOSES A 600-SQUARE-FOOT ADDITION TO THE EXISTING
BUILDING ON THE NORTH PARCEL AND THE NEW 4,400 SQUARE FOOT
OFFICE BUILDING ON THE VACANT SOUTHERN PARCEL.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REQUESTS THAT THE FINAL REVISED
SITE PLAN PROVIDED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READINGS REFLECT
THE REVISED TOTAL OF 8,752 SQUARE FEET AS WELL AS THE
PROPOSED F.A.R. OF .49 CONSISTENT WITH THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED
UNDER THE R-20 DESIGNATION.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS FOUND THE DEVELOPMENT IS
COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT
PATTERN ALONG SOUTH DALE MABRY HIGHWAY CORRIDOR.
THE REQUEST MEETS LOCATIONAL CRITERIA, PROVIDES APPROPRIATE
BUFFERING AND PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY, AND IS COMPARABLE
WITH THE INTENSITY OF EXISTING PDs IN THE AREA CONSISTENT
WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
IF THE REZONING IS APPROVED, THE SITE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING COMMERCIAL USES ON
AN UNDERUTILIZED PARCEL CONSISTENT WITH THE PLAN.
BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
FIND THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND
I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
5:46:04PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY.
THANK YOU.
5:46:18PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
AGAIN, FOR THE RECORD, CHRISTOPHER
DEMANCHE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
WE'LL START WITH AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY CONSISTS OF TWO PARCELS.
WE HAVE LOT ONE, WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF WEST
SAN PEDRO STREET.
WE ALSO HAVE -- I SHOULD NOTE THAT LOT ONE HAS A PARTIALLY
CONSTRUCTED BUILDING ON IT.
AND THEN WE HAVE LOT TWO TO THE IMMEDIATE SOUTH, WHICH IS
LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF WEST OBISPO STREET.
THAT LOT IS IMPROVED WITH A SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED DWELLING.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED ON A BLOCK THAT IS LOCATED TO
THE EAST OF SOUTH DALE MABRY HIGHWAY AND TO THE WEST OF
SOUTH STERLING AVENUE.
LOOKING ALSO AT THE SURROUNDING PARCELS TO THE IMMEDIATE
NORTH, WE HAVE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING.
THIS SITE IS IMPROVED WITH BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL OFFICE
BUILDING.
TO THE IMMEDIATE SOUTH OF LOT NUMBER TWO, WE HAVE ANOTHER
SITE ZONED PLAN DEVELOPMENT, IMPROVED WITH BUSINESS
PROFESSIONAL OFFICE USE.
TO THE IMMEDIATE EAST OF BOTH LOTS, WE HAVE SINGLE-FAMILY
DETACHED DWELLINGS AND ACROSS DALE MABRY, WE HAVE PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT ZONING APPROVED FOR BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL
OFFICE.
AND WE HAVE AN ADDITIONAL LOT HERE ZONED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
APPROVED FOR BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL OFFICE USES AND RETAIL
USES.
NEXT WE HAVE SITE PLAN TO SHOW.
HAVING A LOOK HERE AT THE SITE PLAN, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE
HAVE TWO BUILDINGS INDEPENDENT OF ONE ANOTHER.
BOTH OF THESE LOTS PROVIDE BOTH SURFACE PARKING IN THE FRONT
OF THE BUILDINGS ALONG THE ROADWAYS AS WELL AS
UNDER-BUILDING PARKING.
THERE IS A MAIN INGRESS/EGRESS POINT FOR BOTH LOTS.
THERE IS NO VEHICULAR CONNECTIVITY OR PEDESTRIAN
CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THESE TWO LOTS.
PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY IS ACCOMPLISHED BY AN EXISTING
SIDEWALK THAT RUNS NORTH TO WEST ALONG DALE MABRY HIGHWAY.
BOTH BUILDINGS HAVE A SIMILAR LAYOUT IN THAT THEY EACH HAVE
THEIR MAIN ENTRANCES FACING DALE MABRY HIGHWAY.
A TOTAL OF 41 PARKING SPACES IS REQUIRED BASED ON THE SIZE
OF THESE PROPOSED BUILDINGS, BUT 26 SPACES ARE PROVIDED
ALONG WITH BICYCLE -- ONE BICYCLE SPACE.
THIS REQUIRES A WAIVER FOR 15 SPACES TO BE REQUESTED.
NEXT WE HAVE AERIALS.
FIRST SET OF AERIALS IS FOR LOT ONE.
THIS IS ON SAN PEDRO.
SHOWING A TWO-STORY STRUCTURE.
THE NEXT SET OF ELEVATIONS IS FOR LOT TWO.
THIS IS ALONG OBISPO STREET.
AGAIN, TWO-STORY STRUCTURE.
ALSO WANT TO NOTE THAT THERE ARE THREE WAIVERS REQUESTED
WITH THIS APPLICATION.
FIRST SECTION 27-283.
THIS IS TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES FROM
41 TO 26.
THIS WOULD BE A 36.6 PERCENT REDUCTION.
WAIVER TWO IS TO SECTION 27-284.
THIS IS TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED USE-TO-USE BUFFER ON THE EAST
FOR LOT TWO FROM 15 FEET IN A SIX-FOOT TALL MASONRY WALL TO
15 FEET AND A SIX-FOOT TALL PVC FENCE.
THIRD AND FINAL REQUEST IS TO SECTION 27-284.
THIS IS TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED USE-TO-USE BUFFER ON THE EAST
FOR LOT ONE FROM 15 FEET IN THE SIX-FOOT TALL MASONRY WALL
TO FOUR FEET IN A SIX-FOOT TALL PVC FENCE.
WE DO HAVE PHOTOS TO SHOW.
SUBJECT SITE.
THIS IS A VIEW OF LOT ONE.
THIS IS THE PARCEL ON SAN PEDRO.
ONE ADDITIONAL PHOTO OF IT ALONG DALE MABRY.
NEXT WE HAVE LOT TWO.
THIS IS ON OBISPO.
IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF LOT ONE, THIS IS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF
SAN PEDRO.
SOUTH OF LOT TWO.
A CLOSE-UP OF THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONED PROPERTY SOUTH
OF LOT TWO.
SOUTHWEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
EAST OF LOT ONE.
EAST OF LOT TWO.
AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENT NORTHWEST
OF THE SUBJECT SITE ACROSS DALE MABRY, IMMEDIATELY ACROSS
WEST OF THE SITE ON DALE MABRY.
AND ONE LAST PHOTO SHOWING ANOTHER SITE-TO-SITE PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT WITH BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL AS WELL AS RETAIL
USES.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE
APPLICATION.
WE FIND THE REQUEST INCONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA LAND
DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.
SHOULD IT BE THE PLEASURE OF CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THIS
APPLICATION, FURTHER MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN MUST BE
COMPLETED BY THE APPLICANT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READINGS
OF THE ORDINANCE.
AS STATED ON THE REVISION SHEET, AND THESE REVISIONS WILL
NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE OF TRANSPORTATION'S INCONSISTENT
FINDING.
I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
5:51:53PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?
YES, COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
5:51:56PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
I HAVE CONSISTENT ON THE STAFF REPORT.
DO YOU HAVE AN UPDATED ONE?
YOU SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF TRANSPORTATION.
5:52:11PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
THAT IS AN ERROR.
THAT IS AN ERROR.
WE ARE INCONSISTENT DUE TO --
5:52:19PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
OKAY.
I SEE IT HERE.
IT DOES SAY INCONSISTENT ON THE INSIDE PART.
5:52:23PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
YES, INCONSISTENT DUE TO THE
TECHNICAL STANDARDS FOR TRANSPORTATION.
THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT CORRECTION OUT.
5:52:32PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
DO WE NEED TO MAKE A CORRECTION TO PUT INTO
THE RECORD OR ARE WE OKAY?
5:52:38PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
I CAN STATE ON THE RECORD FOR
STAFF'S FINDING ON THIS IS A FINDING OF INCONSISTENCY.
IT'S BASED ON THOSE TECHNICAL STANDARDS THAT THE APPLICANT
IS WAIVING FROM FOR TRANSPORTATION.
5:52:48PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANYTHING ELSE?
5:52:52PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
NO.
5:52:53PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I HAVE A QUESTION IF YOU COULD PUT THE SITE
PLAN BACK UP AGAIN.
5:52:56PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
ABSOLUTELY.
5:53:05PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I CAN VERY CLEARLY SEE THE HANDICAP PARKING
SPACE IN THE SOUTHERN BUILDING, BUT I DO NOT SEE IT IN THE
NORTHERN SECTION.
I WAS CURIOUS AS TO WHY, IF THEY ARE NOT ATTACHED.
5:53:23PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
I'LL PULL IT UP SO I CAN TAKE A LOOK
AT IT CLOSER.
YES, THERE SHOULD BE TWO ADA SPACES.
5:53:57PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THE OTHER ONE JUST SIMPLY ISN'T NOTATED.
I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE THAT ADDED TO THE SITE PLAN.
I THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE IT.
5:54:06PM >> JONATHAN SCOTT, MOBILITY, FOR THE RECORD.
THEY HAVE ONE.
IT'S JUST NOT LABELED, BUT IT'S GOT THE AISLE AND MEETS THE
WIDTH AND ALL THAT.
5:54:13PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE ADDED BETWEEN
FIRST AND SECOND READING.
5:54:17PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
YES, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
WE CAN ADD THAT AS REVISION SHEET ITEM JUST TO NOTATE THAT
AS AN ADA SPOT.
5:54:25PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYONE ELSE?
APPLICANT.
5:54:31PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
I'M GOING TO STEAL ALL OF CHRIS' NOTES UP
HERE.
STEVE MICHELINI.
I'M HERE REPRESENTING THE PETITIONER.
I THINK PART OF THE QUESTION THAT YOU ASKED, CHAIR, WAS --
BUILDING ONE, WHICH IS LOCATED HERE, WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED
UNDER A PD.
SO ALL OF THOSE CONDITIONS REMAIN.
WE'RE PICKING UP THOSE SAME WAIVERS AND CONDITIONS,
REINSTATING THEM UNDER THIS PETITION.
WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE ALIGNED THE BUILDINGS SO THAT THEY
HAVE THE SAME BASIC SETBACKS IN THE FRONT AND THE REAR.
AND WE'VE ALSO ADDED BECAUSE WE HAD ADDITIONAL PROPERTY,
WE'VE ADDED ALMOST 29 FEET OF BUFFER ON THE REAR THAT'S
CLOSEST TO THE SINGLE-FAMILY.
NOW, WE COULD HAVE BROKEN THIS WALL OUT AND ADDED A LITTLE
MORE PARKING BACK HERE, BUT WE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS MORE
IMPORTANT TO ADD THE BUFFER BETWEEN THE MEDICAL OFFICE USE
AND THE BUILDING ITSELF AND THE SINGLE-FAMILY TO THE EAST.
WE'RE MAINTAINING THE SAME ACCESS POINTS IN TERMS OF
DISTANCE FROM DALE MABRY, AND WE HAD TO MAINTAIN THAT
BECAUSE OF D.O.T. STANDARDS.
WE ALSO HAVE USED THE FRONTAGE ACCESS HERE FOR THE
PEDESTRIAN ACCESS TO THE FRONTS OF THE BUILDING.
BUT YOU MIGHT WANT TO THINK ABOUT WHY ARE WE ASKING FOR THIS
AGAIN.
THIS IS OWNED BY THE SAME PROPERTY OWNER, AND THE BUILDINGS
WILL BE OWNED BY THE SAME COMPANY.
INSTEAD OF HAVING TWO SEPARATE PDs, WE WANTED TO BRING
THEM BACK IN AS ONE PD AND THEN REESTABLISH THE SETBACKS AND
ALL OF THE WAIVERS INTO ONE PD SO THAT IT WOULD BE TRACKING
A LOT EASIER.
IT IS ON A TRANSIT CORRIDOR.
IT DOES FRONT ON DALE MABRY, WHICH IS ALSO SURROUNDED ON
EACH SIDE BY PROFESSIONAL OFFICES, NORTH AND SOUTH AND
RETAIL ACROSS THE STREET.
WHEN YOU GO TO THE CRITERIA FOR THE PD, TO PROMOTE THE
EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF THE LAND, THIS OTHER PARCEL
HERE WAS NOT AVAILABLE WHEN WE CAME TO YOU IN 2021, WHICH IS
WHEN THIS WAS REDEVELOPED AND REZONED.
IT IS FULLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND PERMITTED NOW.
SO ALL OF THOSE CONDITIONS THAT WE PREVIOUSLY HAD APPROVED
WILL REMAIN AND THEY WILL BE PICKED UP AND THEN REFLECTED
AGAIN ON THIS REQUEST.
TO PROMOTE THE EFFICIENT USE OF THE PROPERTY, WE THOUGHT
THAT THIS WAS MUCH -- A MUCH BETTER USE, AND EASIER TO DEAL
WITH.
THIS WAS A VERY NEGLECTED BUNGALOW-STYLE HOUSE.
IT WAS AN EARLY SHOTGUN STYLE HOUSE.
IT WAS IN REALLY BAD SHAPE.
ANYWAY, THEY PURCHASED IT, AND LIKE I SAID, IT WASN'T
AVAILABLE PREVIOUSLY.
OTHERWISE WE WOULD HAVE BROUGHT THIS IN EARLIER.
PROMOTE AND DEVELOP AND ENCOURAGE WHERE APPROPRIATE IN
LOCATION.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE HAPPENING WITH THESE
OTHER OLDER STRUCTURES IN THE REDEVELOPMENT EFFORT, TO CLEAN
THEM UP, TO CLEAN UP THE FRONTAGE, ALSO TO MEET THE VARIOUS
NEW CODES REGARDING THE SETBACKS, THE FACING, AND THE
ACCESSES.
AND WE'VE BEEN VERY PARTICULAR ABOUT PROTECTING THE
RESIDENCES TO THE EAST.
TO PROMOTE AND ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT WHERE APPROPRIATE,
AND WE THINK WE'VE DONE THAT.
AND WE'VE REPLACED A PARCEL, A HOUSE THAT BASICALLY WAS NO
LONGER SERVING A PUBLIC PURPOSE.
CURRENTLY ZONED RS 50 AND PD.
AGAIN, WE'VE INCREASED THE KIND OF BUFFERS BACK HERE SO THAT
WHEN YOU ASK FOR THE WAIVER FOR THE FENCE, WE'RE REALLY
PROVIDING THE GREEN AREA HERE.
THIS IS NOT A WET POND.
IT'S A DRY POND, BUT THE FENCE THERE WILL PROVIDE A NICE
BUFFER BETWEEN THEM AND THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE.
THE ELEVATIONS ARE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT'S IN THE AREA.
AGAIN, THE TWO BUILDINGS WILL MATCH EACH OTHER.
THEY ARE NOT CODEPENDENT, BUT THEY WILL COOPERATE WITH EACH
OTHER IN TERMS OF FUNCTION.
WITH RESPECT TO THE FINDINGS, SURPRISE TO ME THAT WE ARE NOW
INCONSISTENT.
BUT I UNDERSTAND THE TECHNICAL STANDARDS.
WE SIMPLY CAN'T MEET THEM.
BUT IN EVERY OTHER RESPECT, WE ARE CONSISTENT, INCLUDING
WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
THIS IS AN ADAPTIVE INFILL TYPE OF USE, WHICH IS APPROPRIATE
FOR DALE MABRY.
IT IS ON A TRANSIT CORRIDOR, SO WE DO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE
FACT THAT THERE ARE BUS STOPS AND TRANSIT AVAILABLE HERE.
THIS IS ONLY ABOUT A BLOCK AND A HALF SOUTH OF BAY TO BAY.
AND THERE IS A MAJOR TRANSIT BUS STOP THERE AT BAY TO BAY
AND DALE MABRY AS WELL AS ALONG DALE MABRY.
I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
I THINK THAT WE'VE BEEN SENSITIVE TO THE ISSUES THAT ARE
RELATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SECOND LOT.
WE PROVIDED ADDITIONAL BUFFERS AS A PROTECTION FOR THE
NEIGHBORS, AND WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL.
I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TALK TO YOU AND ANSWER ANY FURTHER
QUESTIONS.
6:00:27PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY QUESTIONS?
OKAY.
IS THERE ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS
ITEM?
THANK YOU.
HAVE YOU ALL BEEN SWORN IN?
6:00:39PM >> YES, MA'AM.
6:00:40PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
COME FORWARD.
STATE YOUR NAME FIRST PLEASE AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.
IF YOU'D LIKE TO USE THE WOLF, IF YOU PUT IT RIGHT DOWN, IT
SHOULD SHOW.
OOOH, IT'S A LITTLE FUZZY.
MAYBE THEY CAN -- THERE WE GO.
JUST PLEASE START WITH YOUR NAME.
YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.
6:01:00PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
MY NAME IS PHIL SCHLOSSNAGLE.
I LIVE AT 3715 WEST SAN PEDRO STREET, WHICH IS THIS PROPERTY
RIGHT HERE.
MY WIFE AND I HAVE LIVED THERE 26 PLUS YEARS.
BEEN HERE A COUPLE OF TIMES.
YOU GUYS MAY REMEMBER ME.
ANYWAYS, LIKE MR. MICHELINI WAS SAYING, MILANO CUSTOM HOME
PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY IN 2020.
IT WAS REZONED IN 2021.
THIS WAS GOING TO BE THEIR HEADQUARTERS, THEIR CORPORATE
OFFICE.
MOVE FROM MacDILL AVENUE OVER HERE.
ALREADY GOT TWO HOME BUILDERS ON THE OTHER CORNER.
CAROLINA HOMES AND TB HOMES.
THIS PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
NOTICE IT IS THE SMALLEST OF ALL THE FOUR PARCELS.
AND YOU NOTICE THE SETBACK ARE NONEXISTENT BUFFER ON THIS
SIDE, WHICH I THINK PROVED PROBLEMATIC.
AGAIN, THEY ARE ALL EXCITED.
THIS WILL BE THE HEADQUARTERS.
THEY STARTED CONSTRUCTION IN 2024.
DEEP FOUNDATION, SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON THAT.
POURED THE SLAB, DID SOME MASONRY WALLS, FORMED UP COLUMNS
AND CALLED IT QUITS.
WHY?
BECAUSE WHAT WAS THE CONCEPTUAL PLAN HERE FOR THE PARKING ON
THAT GROUND FLOOR, YOU SEE THESE COLUMNS.
WHEN IT ACTUALLY WENT TO CONSTRUCTION, THERE ARE COLUMNS AT
EACH BAY HERE.
8-FOOT CLEAR BETWEEN THOSE COLUMNS.
TRY GETTING A STANDARD SIZED CAR, NOT EVEN AN SUV, STANDARD
SIZED CAR IN HERE.
YOU'D FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT.
BECAUSE THIS IS A TOYOTA CAMRY PLACED IN THE SPOT.
STANDARD CAR, RELATIVELY SMALL, SMALLER THAN MOST SUVs.
IF YOU ZOOM IN, THIS GUY COULDN'T OPEN HIS DOOR.
YOU HAVE 13 INCHES TO GET BETWEEN YOUR CAR AND THESE
COLUMNS.
I THINK THAT'S WHY MILANO ABANDONED THE PROJECT.
THEY WENT TO SELL IT, AGAIN, YOU HAVE EFFECTIVELY -- YOU
ASKED ABOUT THE HANDICAP SPOT.
IT'S HERE.
THAT'S PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN BE ACCESSED UNDER THE
BUILDING.
THE OTHER FOUR ARE OUT NEAR THE STREET.
AGAIN, THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE FOR ALMOST THE PAST TWO YEARS.
IMAGINE TRYING TO COME UP HERE AND GET A CAR IN BETWEEN
THOSE COLUMNS.
AGAIN, THEY LISTED IT FOR SALE.
AGAIN, OFFERING -- THEY COULD BUILD IT OUT IN 120 DAYS OR
LESS.
YOU SEE ALL THE COLUMNS THERE.
AGAIN, MULTIPLE LISTINGS.
IT NEVER SOLD BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS IT IS A PIG IN A POKE.
IT'S NOT FEASIBLE TO PARK IN THE SPOTS.
WHAT WAS 13 SPACES IS NOW 5.
SO THEY WENT SEVERAL ITERATIONS.
FIRST ONE, EXTENDING THE PARKING OUT HERE, SURFACE PARKING
ON THE OBISPO SPOT, 11 SPACES.
OCTOBER, 15 SPACES.
AND THEN NOVEMBER, 18 SPACES.
BUT WITH A SMALL OFFICE BUILDING HERE.
BUT THEN THEY WANTED TO MIRROR THIS ONE, WHICH OBVIOUSLY
DOESN'T WORK WITH THE PARKING.
MIRROR THAT SAME BUILDING HERE, SO NOW WITH THOSE TWO
BUILDINGS, YOU'VE GOT 41 SPACES REQUIRED, YOU'VE ONLY GOT
TEN SPACES REALLY.
AND EVERYONE ELSE IS GOING TO BE OUT ON THE STREET.
SO THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM IF THIS GETS APPROVED.
I'M SUGGESTING IT BE DENIED AND KEEP THIS LOT AS SURFACE
PARKING.
6:04:05PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
EVERYBODY WHO IS STANDING.
WE'LL DO ANOTHER ONE IN JUST A MINUTE.
THANK YOU.
STATE YOUR NAME.
6:04:26PM >> MARK ODOM.
I LIVE NEXT DOOR TO LOT ONE.
WE CAME HERE A FEW YEARS AGO TO GET LOT ONE APPROVED.
AND I HAD SOME CONCERNS.
I WORKED WITH THE OWNER, AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN HE'S KIND
OF GHOSTED ME AND DODGE MY TEXT.
MY CONCERNS WERE SAFETY.
THIS LOT HAS BEEN UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND NOTHING HAS BEEN
DONE, AND IT JUST LOOKS TERRIBLE OUT THERE.
WE HAVE A HOMELESS PROBLEM.
WE GOT HOMELESS PEOPLE, AND THIS IS PRETTY DARK, SO I'M NOT
SURE IF IT'S GOING TO COME THROUGH, IF YOU COULD SEE IT.
THIS IS TWO NIGHTS AGO, RIGHT THERE FROM MY CAMERAS.
AND WE GOT GUYS COMING INTO MY YARD.
THIS IS HAPPENING.
ONE LEAVES AND THEN THE NEXT ONE COMES.
IT'S CONSTANT.
ALL I ASKED THEM WAS TO PUT UP A WALL.
GIVE A WALL TO PROTECT MY FAMILY.
WE'VE GOT DOGS GOING INTO THE YEAR, STRAY DOGS.
AGAIN, I TEXT THEM.
I CALLED, NO RESPONSE.
SO I HEARD THIS MAN SAY THEY ARE PROTECTING THE RESIDENTS.
THAT'S NOT MY DEFINITION OF PROTECTION.
TELL YOU THAT RIGHT NOW.
ALL I ASK IS, YOU KNOW, NUMBER ONE, REALLY, REALLY THINK
THIS THROUGH, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE -- I'M A CAPTAIN ALSO.
I HAVE TO TAKE MY BOAT IN AND OUT.
IF I GET ALL THESE CARS IN THE STREET, I'M IN TROUBLE JUST
TO TRY TO GET A BOAT OUT.
I NEED TO GET THIS WALL UP, TOO.
WE GOT TO PROTECT IT.
I'VE GOT DOGS, AND I JUST REALLY NEED THIS PROTECTED.
THANK YOU.
6:05:56PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT.
ACTUALLY, SIR, IF YOU COULD JUST COME AND STATE YOUR NAME
AGAIN.
I WAS TALKING OVER YOU.
I APOLOGIZE.
6:06:03PM >> MARK ODOM.
6:06:04PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
IF ANYBODY ELSE WISHES TO SPEAK, THE TIME TO STAND IS NOW.
GO RIGHT AHEAD, SIR.
STATE YOUR NAME, YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.
6:06:14PM >> JAME LE -- JAKE LEVAN.
LITTLE NERVOUS.
PRINTED OUT WHAT I WANTED TO SAY.
3715 WEST OBISPO STREET, DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY,
LOT 2.
WHICH IS BEING CONSIDERED FOR REZONING AND HAS THE
QUESTIONS.
I'M NOT OPPOSED TO ANY DEVELOPMENT.
I JUST BEING NEAR DALE MABRY SOME LEVEL OF COMMERCIAL USE
WHICH IS REASONABLE.
HOWEVER, I DO SEE A SERIOUS CONCERN ABOUT THIS PROJECT BEING
PROPOSED BECAUSE IT SETS A PRECEDENT FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
FIRST IS THE PARKING.
THE TRAFFIC, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A REDUCTION OF 41
REQUIRED PARKING SPACES DOWN TO 26.
36% REDUCTION I THINK THEY SAID.
SO WE ALREADY EXPERIENCING OVERFLOW PARKING FROM THE NEARBY
BUSINESSES, INCLUDING A SALON DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET
WHICH HAS PROBABLY AROUND 15 ADDITIONAL CARS PARKING UP
ALONG THE STREET.
RESIDENT STREETS ARE NARROW AND THIS OVERFLOW ALREADY MADE
IT DIFFICULT FOR TRASH PICKUP, MAIL DELIVERY, EMERGENCY
ACCESS.
REDUCING THE PARKING FURTHER WILL ONLY PUSH MORE VEHICLES
INTO THE STREET.
IT'S NOT REALLY A PARKING REDUCTION.
IT'S MORE OF A PARKING RELOCATION ONTO THE RESIDENTIAL
STREETS.
SECOND, THE BUFFERING AND NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY, THE
PROPOSAL REPLACES A REQUIRED MASONRY WALL WITH PVC FENCE.
IN ONE CASE, REDUCES THE BUFFER SIGNIFICANTLY.
THIS IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH OTHER NEARBY PROPERTIES ALONG
DALE MABRY, WHEREAS MASONRY WALLS ARE STANDARD.
MASONRY WALL IS NOT JUST AESTHETIC, PROVIDES NOISE
REDUCTION, SECURITY, AND SEPARATION BETWEEN COMMERCIAL
ACTIVITY AND RESIDENTIAL HOMES.
I HAVE THREE YOUNG CHILDREN AT HOME AND SEPARATION MATTERS
TO ME BECAUSE OF SAFETY AND QUALITY OF LIFE.
THE THIRD IS THE CONSTRUCTION CONCERNS.
AS MARK WAS TALKING ABOUT, THE SAME DEVELOPER HAS THE ACTIVE
PROPERTY BEHIND IT.
JUST BEHIND SAN PEDRO, SITTING LARGELY UNFINISHED FOR AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.
ALREADY LED TO ISSUES OF TRASH, OVERGROWTH, TRANSIENT
ACTIVITY.
GIVEN THE HISTORY, IT IS DIFFICULT TO SUPPORT THE REDUCED
STANDARDS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE'S NO ASSURANCE OF A TIMELY
COMPLETION OR PROPER MAINTENANCE BEING DONE.
LASTLY, I HAVE CONCERNS BOTH AROUND THE PROPOSED RETENTION
POND, BUT I SEE IT IS A DRY POND, SO THAT'S FINE.
IN ADDITION -- SO, IN SUMMARY, I RESPECT TO ASK THE COUNCIL
TO DENY THESE WAIVERS AND REQUIRE THAT THE PROJECT MEETS
EXISTING CODES, ESPECIALLY AROUND PARKING AND THE BUFFERS
AND THE PVC WALL.
THOSE ARE MY BIG CONCERNS.
I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.
6:08:35PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE?
REBUTTAL?
6:08:45PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
ALL I CAN DO IS SAY THAT I APOLOGIZE FOR
THEM NOT PUTTING A FENCE UP THAT PROTECTS THEM.
I WASN'T AWARE OF THAT.
IN TERMS OF THE BUFFERS, THERE'S 28 FEET BETWEEN THE EDGE OF
THE BUILDING AND THE PROPERTY LINE BACK HERE.
THIS PROPERTY OVER HERE HAS ALREADY BEEN REZONED.
IT'S THAT PD, REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU DO, STILL STANDS THE
WAY THAT IT WAS APPROVED.
WE'RE ONLY CONSOLIDATING THAT AND MAKING IT PART OF THIS
APPLICATION.
THE ISSUES REGARDING THE LAYOUT OF THE PARKING AND ALL OF
THAT, THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN PERMITTED.
THIS IS ALREADY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
THIS PORTION IS NOT UNDER CONSTRUCTION, AND THAT'S WHAT IS
REALLY BEFORE YOU IN TERMS OF A NEW PROJECT.
I WILL ADDRESS THE ISSUE REGARDING THE FENCE IMMEDIATELY.
AS SOON AS I HAVE THIS GENTLEMAN'S CONTACT PHONE NUMBER, I
CAN ADDRESS THAT TOMORROW.
THE CORPORATE OFFICE IS STILL PART OF THE PLAN.
THEY ARE NOT ABANDONING THAT.
I KNOW THAT WE HAD COVID ISSUES REGARDING CONSTRUCTION AND
THE ABILITY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT, WHICH DID
DELAY IT.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I HEARD ABOUT, AND THEY HAVE MY
PHONE NUMBER.
BECAUSE WE MET WITH THEM BEFORE.
FIRST TIME I HEARD ABOUT HOMELESS BEING AN ISSUE.
I CAN'T CONTROL THAT, BUT I CAN ADDRESS THE ISSUE REGARDING
FENCING.
AND IF COUNCIL WISHES FOR A MASONRY WALL HERE INSTEAD OF THE
PVC FENCE, WE CAN CERTAINLY AGREE TO CHANGING THAT TO A
MASONRY WALL.
WITH RESPECT TO THE TECHNICAL STANDARDS OF TRANSPORTATION,
THE PROJECT IS WHAT IT IS.
I CAN'T MANUFACTURE ANY MORE SPACE FOR PARKING.
AS I SAID EARLIER, WE MADE A CONSCIOUS DECISION NOT TO PUT
SURFACE PARKING BACK HERE TO PROVIDE A BETTER BUFFER BETWEEN
THE RESIDENTIAL AREA AND THE BUILDING ITSELF.
WE MET THE CODE REGARDING THE PARKING ON THE OTHER BUILDING.
THAT IS A REQUEST FOR A WAIVER ON THIS SIDE.
IF COUNCIL WISHES, WE CAN WORK WITH THAT AND POTENTIALLY
REWORK THE SITE PLAN TO SEE IF WE CAN REDUCE THE SIZE.
RIGHT NOW, IT IS WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS WHAT IT IS.
AS I SAID, THE OTHER SITE -- AND I KNOW THE GENTLEMAN HAD
CONCERNS ABOUT IT -- THE OTHER SIDE IS APPROVED AND
PERMITTED AND UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, BUT I CAN MAKE ADJUSTMENTS
ON THIS SIDE.
I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
6:11:46PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.
COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
6:11:47PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
I HEARD QUITE A FEW CONCERNS, BUT I
HEARD A LOT ABOUT THAT MASONRY WALL.
WHAT CAN YOU DO BETWEEN NOW AND SECOND READING?
6:11:56PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
WE CAN ADD A MASONRY WALL AND NOT REQUEST
THE WAIVER FOR THE PVC FENCE.
I WOULD COMMIT TO THAT.
BUT I CAN'T CHANGE THE OTHER ONE.
6:12:09PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
YEAH, THIS IS ONLY FOR THIS PARCEL HERE.
NOT THE ONLY ALREADY -- YES, SIR.
6:12:14PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
WE DO HAVE -- THE WAIVER THEY ARE
REQUESTING, THEY HAVE -- THERE ARE TWO WAIVERS REQUESTED
PERTAINING TO THE EAST BOUNDARY.
WAIVER TWO IS TO LOT TWO.
EAST BOUNDARY IN WAIVER THREE IS TO LOT ONE.
SO IF THE APPLICANT WOULD AGREE, WE COULD ALWAYS CHANGE THAT
SIX-FOOT-TALL PVC FENCE TO SIX-FOOT-TALL MASONRY AND --
6:12:44PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
COULD I ASK THE GENTLEMAN A QUESTION
THAT'S ADJACENT ON LOT ONE?
BECAUSE AS I RECALL, HE HAS A BOAT AND --
6:12:57PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
DOGS.
6:12:59PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
-- TREES.
I WOULD LIKE A CLARIFICATION BECAUSE IF WE CAN INSTALL A
MASONRY WALL THERE, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO THAT.
BUT I THINK THERE WERE SOME SITE CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIM
MANEUVERING HIS BOAT.
WHERE DID HE GO?
6:13:16PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
[INAUDIBLE]
6:13:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THE CONCERN WAS ABOUT STREET PARKING.
IF YOU WOULD COME UP AND STATE YOUR NAME AGAIN.
6:13:26PM >> MARK ODOM.
STREET PARKING IS WHAT I HAD THE CONCERN WITH GETTING THE
BOAT OUT.
MY BOAT RIGHT NOW IS ON THE EAST SIDE IN THE DRIVEWAY.
IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE WEST SIDE WHERE YOUR PROPERTY
IS.
BUT I CAN'T GET IT OVER THERE.
6:13:39PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
DO YOU HAVE AN OBJECTION TO A MASONRY
WALL?
6:13:43PM >> I DO NOT.
6:13:44PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
6:13:44PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
WE'LL COMMIT TO THE MASONRY WALL ON LOT
ONE AND TWO.
6:13:49PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.
MR. MIRANDA.
6:13:50PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I WANT TO SAY, MASONRY WALL IS A LOT
DIFFERENT FROM A PLASTIC OR VINYL FENCE.
I'VE HAD A MASONRY WALL BETWEEN ME AND MY NEIGHBOR THAT WAS
PUT UP MAYBE 60 YEARS AGO.
ONCE IN A WHILE, ODDLY ENOUGH, IT WAS STUCCOED.
ONCE IN A WHILE, THE STUCCO FALLS OFF THE WALL.
I SCRAPE IT AND PAINT THE WALL.
GUESS WHAT, IT WILL BE THERE ANOTHER 60 YEARS.
PLASTIC FENCE WOULD NOT.
THAT'S NUMBER ONE.
NUMBER TWO IS ON THE SIZE AND THE WIDTH OF THE PARKING IS
THAT MEETING ALL THE CODE REQUIREMENTS?
WHAT I'VE HEARD HERE FROM A GENTLEMAN THAT SPOKE, I FORGOT
HIS NAME RIGHT NOW, BUT SAID 13 INCHES.
BUILT A HOUSE, 20 OR 21-INCH FOR EACH CAR OR SOMETHING?
6:14:36PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
ON THE SITE PLAN, THEY ARE SHOWING 9 BY
18 FOR THE PARKING SPACES.
6:14:41PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
9-FOOT WIDE?
6:14:44PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
9 FEET WIDE.
6:14:51PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
DID YOU WANT TO ASK THAT OF STAFF OR --
6:14:54PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
UNLESS EVERYBODY DRIVES A VOLKSWAGEN, I
DON'T KNOW.
6:14:58PM >> JONATHAN SCOTT, MOBILITY.
THE PARKING SPACES ARE OKAY.
9 BY 18 AND 24-FOOT OF BACKUP.
6:15:04PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
WHAT IS THE WIDTH?
6:15:06PM >> 9 FEET.
6:15:07PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
REQUIREMENT?
6:15:08PM >> THAT'S CORRECT.
MEET THE REQUIREMENTS.
6:15:13PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I'M HEARING TEN BACK THERE, BUT I SEE
NINE.
EIGHT IS THE REQUIREMENT.
6:15:18PM >> [INAUDIBLE]
6:15:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I'M SORRY.
IF YOU WANT TO -- MR. MICHELINI, YEAH, UNFORTUNATELY, YOU
SAID UNLESS HE HAS A QUESTION FOR YOU, YOU CAN'T COME BACK.
6:15:30PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.
6:15:31PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I'M SORRY.
STATE YOUR NAME AGAIN, SIR.
6:15:36PM >> PHIL SCHLOSSNAGLE.
YOU HAD A QUESTION FOR ME?
6:15:43PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
YEAH, THE WIDTH.
6:15:44PM >> THOSE COLUMNS, EVEN THOUGH THE PARKING SPACE CENTER LINE
TO CENTER LINE ARE NINE FEET, THOSE COLUMNS ARE ONE FOOT
WIDE EACH.
SO THEY BECOME -- YOU ONLY HAVE EIGHT FEET BETWEEN THOSE TWO
COLUMNS.
IF YOU LOOK AT THAT, FIRST OF ALL, THE BUILDING SQUEEZED IN
TO BEGIN WITH.
IT IS A TIGHT SQUEEZE.
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO PULL IN THERE AND SAY I CAN'T MAKE THAT
TURN, BACK OUT AND PARK ON THE STREET.
AGAIN, YOU GO FROM 13 DOWN TO 5 EFFECTIVELY USABLE SPOTS PER
LOT.
IT'S GOING TO BE CRAZY, ESPECIALLY BEING A MEDICAL OFFICE
BUILDING, LIKE, THEY ARE GOING TO BE WAY UP AND DOWN THE
STREET.
6:16:17PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
LET ME SAY THIS, ANYBODY CAN PARK IN ANY
PARKING SPOT ON THE STREET, INCLUDING WHERE I LIVE, AND YOU
CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE JUST PUBLIC PROPERTY.
CHANGE SOME TIME AGO, USED TO GIVE TICKETS, CAN'T DO THAT NO
MORE.
PARK IN ANYBODY'S FRONT YARD AS LONG AS YOU DON'T GET ON THE
PROPERTY OWNED BY THE RESIDENT AND THERE.
I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT, FOR BOTH THE DEVELOPER AND THE
LANDOWNER.
6:16:49PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
WELL, I DON'T KNOW -- HE SAID HE WAS
PUTTING HIS BOAT THERE.
THE BOATS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE BEHIND THE FRONT --
6:16:56PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THAT'S ANOTHER QUESTION FOR ANOTHER DAY.
I UNDERSTAND THAT.
6:16:59PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
I MEAN, I'M SYMPATHETIC.
THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT I CAN DO AND I CAN MAKE A
COMMITMENT ON.
AND OTHER THINGS THAT I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER.
THE PLAN IS TO MAINTAIN THE PARKING THAT IS REQUIRED FOR THE
USE.
IT'S AN ELEVATED BUILDING SO THAT THE PARKING IS UNDERNEATH.
AS I SAID, WE REDUCED THE SIZE OF THE BUILDING FOOTPRINT AND
INCREASED THE BUFFER ON THE BACK.
6:17:32PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS?
6:17:37PM >> [INAUDIBLE]
6:17:41PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
CHRIS DEMANCHE, DEVELOPMENT
COORDINATION.
I WANTED TO PROVIDE A SUMMARY OF THE CHANGES THAT WE'RE
LOOKING TO DO.
IN ADDITION TO THE ITEMS REFERENCED ON THE REVISION SHEET AS
IT IS, WE ARE ADDING A NOTE TO UPDATE WAIVERS 2 AND 3 ON THE
SITE PLAN TO REFLECT A SIX-FOOT MASONRY WALL TO BE PROVIDED.
THIS WOULD BE REPLACING THE REFERENCE TO SIX FOOT PVC FENCE.
AND THEN THE OTHER ITEM WOULD BE TO ADD A HANDICAP LABEL TO
LOT ONE SPOT WHICH IS DESIGNATED FOR HANDICAP PARKING.
THERE IS THAT ONE SPOT.
6:18:19PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
YOU WANT THE OTHER SITE ON LOT ONE TO BE
CLEARLY IDENTIFIED?
6:18:23PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
YEP.
ADD A HANDICAP LABEL TO THIS ONE HERE.
BECAUSE THAT LOT RIGHT THERE IS CLEARLY LARGER THAN THE
OTHERS.
WE'LL ADD THE LABEL TO THAT PARTICULAR SPOT ON LOT ONE.
MAKE SURE THAT WAS IT.
JUST THOSE THREE ITEMS.
6:18:45PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
[INAUDIBLE]
6:18:46PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
6:18:48PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
DO YOU AGREE?
6:18:50PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
WE AGREED TO THE CHANGES THAT CHRISTOPHER
JUST OUTLINED.
6:18:54PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.

I DO HAVE A QUESTION, WAS THERE A REVISION SHEET ON EITHER
OF THE FIRST TWO ITEMS AND I JUST MISSED THEM?
I REMEMBER PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF SAID SOMETHING ABOUT
CHANGING SITE PLAN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING FOR
NUMBER 1.
DO WE NEED TO REOPEN THAT OR JUST REDO THAT?

CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
AGENDA ITEM 6 IS REZ 26-09.
THIS IS A REQUEST TO REZONE 3415 WEST HARBOR VIEW AVENUE
FROM RS 60 TO RS 50.
I'LL TURN IT OVER NOW TO PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
6:27:29PM >> MEAGHAN McCARTHY, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
THIS IS REZ 26-09 LOCATED IN THE SOUTH TAMPA PLANNING
DISTRICT IN THE BAYSHORE BEAUTIFUL NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN EVACUATION ZONE B.
THE SURROUNDING AREA CONTAINS SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES.
PUBLIC, SEMI-PUBLIC USES EXIST TO THE WEST, INCLUDING THE
SOUTH TAMPA FAMILY YMCA AS WELL AS COMMERCIAL USES ON THE
WEST SIDE OF THE SELMON EXPRESSWAY.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE RESIDENTIAL 10 FUTURE
LAND USE DESIGNATION.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE APPLICATION AND
FOUND NO ADVERSE IMPACTS TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
THIS REZONING WILL ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL HOUSING WITHIN THE
BAYSHORE BEAUTIFUL NEIGHBORHOOD AND MEETS POLICY DIRECTION
FOR INFILL DEVELOPMENT ON UNDERUTILIZED PARCELS.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY RESIDENTIAL
10 SUPPORTS LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
DUE TO THE CONCENTRATION OF SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL WITHIN
PROXIMITY TO THE LIGHT COMMERCIAL WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE,
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS DETERMINED THAT THE PROPOSED
RS-50 ZONING DISTRICT IS BOTH COMPARABLE TO AND COMPATIBLE
WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA AND PROVIDES ADDITIONAL HOUSING
OPPORTUNITIES WITH CONNECTIVITY TO SOUTH HIMES AVENUE AND
BRITTON PLAZA, A COLLECTOR ROADWAY AND A COMMERCIAL -- AND
COMMERCIAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
FIND THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
6:28:52PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
6:29:07PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:

SUBJECT BLOCK IS LOCATED EAST OF SOUTH HIMES AVENUE AND WEST OF
SOUTH LYNWOOD AVENUE.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS ALSO DEVELOPED WITH A SINGLE-FAMILY
DETACHED DWELLING.
SURROUNDING SUBJECT SITE TO THE NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, AND WEST,
WE HAVE RS-60 ZONING.
SINGLE-FAMILY DETACH DWELLINGS ON THREE OF THE FOUR SIDES
WITH ITS SOUTH TAMPA FAMILY YMCA LOCATED WEST OF THE SUBJECT
PROPERTY ACROSS SOUTH HIMES AVENUE.
NEXT, WE HAVE A SURVEY SHOWN IN YELLOW HERE.
OUTLINE FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
PROPERTY HAS APPROXIMATELY 110 FEET OF STREET FRONTAGE ON
WEST HARBOR VIEW AVENUE AND 136 FEET OF STREET FRONTAGE ALONG
SOUTH HIMES AVENUE.
NEXT, I HAVE A CORRESPONDING MAP.
THIS MAP HIGHLIGHTS PROPERTIES WITHIN 1320 FEET OF THE

AND I HAVE PROVIDED ANALYSIS IN MY STAFF REPORT, WHICH IS ON
PAGE THREE.
AS PART OF MY PRESENTATION, I AM GOING TO BE PROVIDING
ANALYSIS SPECIFICALLY ON THE BLOCK FACE, WHICH INCLUDES THE
SUBJECT LOT ON THE NORTH SIDE OF WEST HARBOR VIEW AVENUE
BETWEEN HIMES AND SOUTH LYNWOOD AVENUE.
AND THE LOTS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF WEST HARBOR VIEW AVENUE
BETWEEN HIMES AND LYNWOOD, AND THEN NORTH OF THE SUBJECT
SITE, THIS WILL BE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF WEST WALLCRAFT
AVENUE BETWEEN HIMES AND SOUTH LYNWOOD AVENUE.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS PART OF THE HARBOR VIEW PALMS
SUBDIVISION, BLOCK 2, LOT 7 AND 8 PLATTED.
AREA ANALYSIS, 177 PARCELS OR 57% HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH
THE WIDTH OF 60 FEET FOR GREATER AND 132 PARCELS OR 43%
HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH A WIDTH OF 59.99 FEET OR LESS.
SUBJECT BLOCK FACE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF WEST HARBOR VIEW
AVENUE CONTAINS SEVEN PARCELS, INCLUDING SUBJECT SITE, WITH
WIDTH RANGING FROM 50 TO OVER 100 FEET.
EXCLUDING SUBJECT PROPERTY, SIX OR 100 PARCELS ON THE
SUBJECT HAVE A WIDTH OF 59.99 FEET OR LESS WITH FOUR
MEASURING 50 TO 54.99 FEET IN WIDTH AND TWO MEASURING 55 TO
59.99 FEET IN WIDTH.
BLOCK FACE ON THE WEST SIDE OF HARBOR VIEW BETWEEN SOUTH
HIMES AND LYNWOOD AVENUE CONTAINS FIVE PARCELS WITH WIDTHS
RANGING FROM 75 FEET TO OVER 100 FEET.
TOTAL OF 100.
A LOT OF 50 FEET OR GREATER WITH MEASURES 75 TO 79.99 FEET
IN WIDTH.
THE PARCELS MEASURING 80 FEET TO 99.99 FEET IN WIDTH AND
ONE OR 20% OF THE PARCELS MEASURES 100 FEET OR GREATER IN
WIDTH.
NEXT, WE ANALYZE THE BLOCK FACE JUST NORTH OF THE SUBJECT
SITE ON THE WEST SIDE OF WEST WALLCRAFT AVENUE BETWEEN SOUTH
HIMES AND SOUTH LYNWOOD AVENUE.
THAT BLOCK FACE CONTAINS SEVEN PARCELS WITH WIDTHS RANGING
FROM 50 FEET TO OVER 100 FEET.
A TOTAL OF FIVE OR 72% OF THE PARCEL MEASURE 50 TO 54.99
FEET IN WIDTH AND ONE OR 14% OF THE PARCEL MEASURING 55 TO
59.99 FEET IN WIDTH AND ONE PARCEL OR 14% OF THE PARCELS
MEASURING 100 FEET OR GREATER IN WIDTH.
NEXT, WE HAVE PHOTOS TAKEN OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
SURROUNDING PARCELS AS WELL.
THIS IS THE VIEW OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM WEST HARBOR
VIEW AVENUE.
NEXT, WE HAVE A VIEW COUNTRY SUBJECT SITE.
THIS IS FROM SOUTH HIMES AVENUE.
THIS PROPERTY IS IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF THE SUBJECT LOT.
THIS IS ON WALLCRAFT.
NEXT, WE HAVE A PROPERTY ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
THIS IS IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF SUBJECT PROPERTY.
THIS WOULD BE ON WEST HARBOR VIEW AVENUE.
NEXT, WE HAVE A PARCEL IMMEDIATELY EAST OF SUBJECT SITE.
ONE MORE PARCEL.
THIS IS ONE PARCEL OVER FROM THE PHOTO I JUST SAW JUST TO
GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS
NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND, OF COURSE, THIS IS WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
THAT IS THE YMCA FACILITY.
THIS IS THE VIEW LOOKING EAST DOWN WEST HARBOR VIEW AVENUE.
NEXT PHOTO WE HAVE LOOKING WEST.
LOOKING AT THE YMCA AT WEST HARBOR VIEW AVENUE.
STAFF HAS IDENTIFIED IN THE OVERALL STUDY AREA THAT 51% OF
THE PARCELS DEVELOPED WITH A WIDTH OF 50 FEET OR GREATER AND
59.99 FIGHTS OR LESS IN THE STUDY AREA.
VARIETY OF LOT SIZES WITHIN THE VICINITY, STAFF FINDS THE
PROPOSED REQUEST INCONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT
PATTERN OF THE OVERALL STUDY AREA, AND I AM AVAILABLE FOR
ANY QUESTIONS.
06:34:50PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?
OKAY.
APPLICANT.
ACTUALLY, I AM SORRY, BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER, I KNOW WE
WILL HAVE SOME PEOPLE WHO COME IN.
IF WE CAN HAVE A MOMENT TO SWEAR ANYONE IN WHO HAS JUST
ARRIVED.
IF YOU PLAN ON SPEAKING, THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW PEOPLE
WHO HAVE COME IN.
PLEASE STAND AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND SO WE CAN SWEAR YOU
IN.
[SWEARING IN]
06:35:25PM >> I DO.
06:35:25PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
MR. MICHELINI.
06:35:27PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
STEVE MICHELINI REPRESENTING THE PETITIONER.
LET ME SHOW YOU A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES HERE OF WHAT -- IS
THERE AN ECHO ON THE MICROPHONE?
06:35:42PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I DON'T KNOW.
EXTRA ECHO.
THIS IS THE PLAT THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROJECT.
I HAVE FOUR LETTERS OF SUPPORT FROM ADJACENT PROPERTY
OWNERS.
THIS IS PROPERTY OWNER SUPPORTING IT HERE, HERE, AND HERE.
NOW, THESE ARE ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PETITIONER PROJECT,
WHICH IS THERE.
06:36:17PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
CAN YOU POINT TO THE PETITIONER PROJECT
AGAIN?
06:36:31PM >> IT IS THIS CORNER.
06:36:32PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
06:36:33PM >> THIS IS IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF THIS PROPERTY.
THESE ARE ALL 50 FOOT -- 53-FOOT LOTS, IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF
THIS PETITIONER.
THIS -- THIS IS THE PETITIONER'S SITE HERE.
THESE ARE ALL 50-FOOT LOTS, AND THE ONES I SHOWED YOU ON THE
FLAT ARE UP HERE.
SO WE HAVE SUPPORT AND LETTERS OF SUPPORT FROM HERE.
THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE HERE, HERE, HERE, AND HERE.
THIS IS THE VIEW DOWN THE STREET SHOWING THE DEVELOPMENT
PATTERN THAT CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THESE PROPERTIES ARE 50-FOOT
LOTS.
THEY ARE OLDER HOMES.
THESE ARE PROBABLY FROM THE '40s OR '50s.
AND THEY WERE MOST LIKELY MADE NONCONFORMING WHEN ZONING
CONFORMANCE CAME THROUGH, SO EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE STILL
ZONED RS-60, THEY ARE NONCONFORMING.
WHEN I TALKED TO CITY STAFF ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOW THEY GOT TO
THE CONCLUSION THAT THIS WAS FOUND TO BE INCONSISTENT, IT IS
BECAUSE OF THE DISTANCE THAT THEY HAVE TO GO OUT.
AS YOU GO FURTHER AWAY FROM THIS SECTION, THE LOTS DO GET
LARGER, BUT THIS PARTICULAR STREET AND THIS AREA IS
CHARACTERIZED BY SMALLER LOTS.
AND THIS IS A SPECULATION, BUT I BELIEVE THIS WAS PROBABLY
DONE MUCH LATER IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS TO HELP TO
ESTABLISH SMALLER LOTS FOR SMALLER HOMES THAT WERE
AFFORDABLE.
AND SIMPLY DIDN'T HAVE THAT.
WHEN WE TALK OF THE PROJECT ITSELF, THE OWNER IS HERE, AND I
WANT TO BRING HIM UP AND LET HIM TALK ABOUT THAT THEY LIVED
THERE SINCE THEY WERE -- BASICALLY, SINCE THEY WERE BORN.
COME ON.
INTRODUCE YOURSELF.
GIVE THEM YOUR NAME.
06:38:44PM >> MY NAME IS CALVIN SULLENBERGER.
I DO WANT TO SAY WE ARE NOT COMING IN NEIGHBORHOOD TO FLIP
THE LOTS.
WE HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE 1952.
WE HAVE BEEN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR 75 YEARS.
REASON WE ARE SELLING THE LOT, MY MOTHER PASSED AWAY IN MAY.
I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT MOST OF THE LOTS IN THE AREA ARE 50
FOOT.
I LIVE AROUND THE CORNER, AND MY LOT IS 59.
PEOPLE ACROSS THE STREET WITH TWO-STORY HOUSES ARE ALL 50
FOOT.
IT HAS BEEN THAT WAY FOREVER.
I HAVE BEEN IN MY HOUSE -- THIS JULY, 56 YEARS, AND I LIVE A
BLOCK AND A HALF FROM THIS ONE.
MY FRIEND JUST AROUND THE CORNER FROM ME ON MY SAME STREET,
HE JUST HAD HIS HOUSE REZONE TO 55 FEBRUARY 12.
SO, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE ALL 50 FOOT.
AND WE ARE NOT IN HERE TO FLIP THE LOT AND, YOU KNOW, SHORT
CIRCUIT ANYTHING, BUT I JUST WANT TO SAY WHEN WE MOVED IN
THERE, HIMES WASN'T THERE.
THAT WAS A DEAD-END STREET AND HIMES RIGHT THERE, WHERE
THE YMCA.
NO HIMES AND JUST A DITCH TO GANDY BOULEVARD.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW WE HAVE BEEN HERE FOR QUITE A WHILE.
06:39:49PM >> TELL THE COUNCIL WHAT YOU WANT.
YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE APPROVAL.
06:39:53PM >> YES, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE APPROVAL, SURE.
06:39:57PM >> THEY ARE NOT MIND READERS.
YOU GOT TO PUT ON THE RECORD WHAT YOU WANT.
ANYWAY, I THINK THAT BASED UPON WHAT I HAVE SHOWN YOU WITH
THESE OTHER LOTS, ALL 50-FOOT LOTS IN HERE.
THIS IS THE LOT -- THIS IS THE SUBJECT LOT.
ALL OF THESE ARE 50-FOOT LOTS BEHIND HERE.
AND THIS ONE JUST GOT AN ADU APPROVED.
SO THERE ARE ACTUALLY TWO UNITS THERE.
AND THESE ARE OTHER LETTERS OF SUPPORT THAT I PROVIDED FOR
YOU ON THE RECORD.
THIS IS IMMEDIATELY TO THE NORTH.
ALL OF THESE ARE 53 FEET.
AND I THINK THAT THE STAFF SHOWED YOU THOSE PICTURES.
CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE Y.
IT IS ON A TRANSIT CORRIDOR WITH HIMES.
AND HERE IS A DELINEATION OF THE LOTS I TOLD YOU TO THE
NORTH.
THESE ARE ALL 53 FEET.
THIS IS 50, 53, AND 50-FOOT LOTS.
IF YOU WERE LOOKING AT IN BLOCK ITSELF, YOU WILL SEE THAT
THE CHARACTERIZATION THERE ARE SMALLER LOTS.
AND THIS IS THE PLAT MAP SHOWING -- ORIGINALLY THEY WERE
PLATTED IN THAT CONFIGURATION.
AND THE SUBJECT LOT IT THERE.
I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.
I THINK THAT THE IMMEDIATE AREA IS CHARACTERIZED BY THE
SMALLER LOTS.
AND, AGAIN, WE ARE NOT ASKING TO SET A PRECEDENT FOR OUTSIDE
OF THIS AREA, BUT THESE PROPERTIES CLEARLY DEMONSTRATE THAT
THE LOTS IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY ARE SMALLER.
I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
06:41:48PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY QUESTIONS?
COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
06:41:51PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
NO, I AM SORRY.
06:41:53PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM?
SO IF YOU DO, JUST GO AHEAD AND -- NO, MA'AM, COME RIGHT
AHEAD.
ALL OF WE ARE GOING TO ASK THAT YOU STATE YOUR NAME.
AND YOU HAVE A -- THAT GOES UP --
06:42:33PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
ONE NAME ON THE SPEAKER WAIVER FORM.
SANDY SANCHEZ.
ONE ADDITIONAL MINUTE.
TOTAL OF FOUR.
06:42:40PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
START WITH YOUR NAME AND, YOU HAVE FOYER MINUTES.
06:42:43PM >> HI, I AM MELODY LEVIN, AND I LIVE AT 3411.
THE YELLOW HOUSE THAT YOU SAW ON THE PICTURE.
GLAD THAT THE CITY FOUND THIS INCONSISTENT WITH THE PLAN
BECAUSE I THINK THIS WILL BE A HORRIBLE DECISION FOR OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD.
FIRST THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS SAFETY.
WE ARE LOOKING AT A HOUSE ON THE CORNER OF A BUSY ROAD.
WHERE WE SPECIFICALLY ARE AT HARBOR VIEW A ESPECIALLY BUSY
BECAUSE THE YMCA SECONDARY PARKING LOT WHEN THEY GO NORTH ON
HIMES, THEY HAVE TO MAKE A U-TURN ON HARBOR VIEW.
THAT INTERSECTION IS THE BUSIEST INTERSECTION IN THAT ENTIRE
AREA.
PEDESTRIANS AND KIDS WALKING TO YMCA, AND GOLF CARTS AND
PEOPLE GOING TO LITTLE LEAGUE THERE.
I WAS LOOKING AT THE MAP AND ESSENTIALLY EVERY SINGLE CORNER
HOUSE ON HIMES FROM HARBOR VIEW, BURGESS, CARRINGTON,
ALL OF THOSE ARE LARGE LOTS.
THEY ARE CLEAR.
KEEPING IT OPEN FOR PEOPLE TRANSGRESSING AT THE
INTERSECTION.
THIS IS OUR INTERSECTION CURRENTLY, AND I PUT A PICTURE UP
HERE SO YOU CAN SEE IT.
YOU CAN SEE IT IS WIDE OPEN.
VISIBILITY IS GREAT.
I PUT TWO PICTURE THERE, ONE SHOWING A CAR ON LEFT BECAUSE
USUALLY CARS PARKED TO THE LEFT OF OUR STREET THERE --
06:43:58PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IF TNI CAN SHOW THAT, THAT WILL BE GREAT.
06:44:02PM >> USUALLY CARS PARKED ON THE LEFT SIDE AND DIRECTLY ACROSS
FROM THIS PROPERTY.
AND THE PICTURE I TOOK THIS MORNING SHOW HOW THE CARS ARE
MAKING THE U-TURN IN THE CENTER OF IT.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE INTERSECTIONS ARE OPEN, SAFE
AND CLEAR FOR PEOPLE ON HIMES.
I PUT THIS HERE BECAUSE I WANTED TO SHOW THAT, LOOK, WE HAVE
THIS HOUSE.
IT IS ONE HOUSE NOW.
NOW ENVISION BEING TWO HOUSES, TWO HUGE HOUSES BECAUSE YOU
KNOW THEY WILL BE.
TWO DRIVEWAYS, MULTIPLE CARS IN THE PARKING LOT.
MORE CARS ON THE STREET.
YOU HAVE TWO BEAUTIFUL PRIVACY FENCES AND GORGEOUS
LANDSCAPING AND WILL STOP THE MOBILITY OF PEDESTRIANS,
PEOPLE MAKING THE TURN.
I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A CAR WALKING TO THE Y.
CARS ARE THERE AND THEY HAVE TO AVOID THE CARS PARKED.
PEOPLE ARE WALKING.
GOLF CARTS ARE COMING.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THAT AREA CLEAR.
WITH THE REZONE, THE DRIVEWAY WILL BE SHORTER AND
COMMUNITIES WITH THOSE RS-50 ZONINGS YOU SEE CARS ESSENTIALLY
BACKED UP TO STREET BECAUSE THE DRIVEWAYS ARE SOFTER AND
MORE DANGEROUS, AND PEOPLE HAVE TO WALK OFF THE SIDEWALKS TO
GO AROUND THE CARS AND CREATES A WHOLE ANOTHER HAZARD.
THERE IS NO LOT ZONED FOR RS-50 IN THIS AREA.
I GET EVEN THOUGH I AM RS-60, MY LOT IS 50 FEET.
YOU LOOK DOWN BLOCK ON THE HARBOR VIEW, HUGE LOTS, HUGE LOT,
HUGE LOT, AND ON OUR SIDE RS-60.
NO RS-50.
ALLOWING THIS HOUSE TO BE RS-50 WITH ITS OWN SETBACK AND OWN
ZONING RULES SETTING THE PRECEDENT THAT SIX BEAUTIFUL HOUSES
ON HARBOR VIEW, NOW YOU CAN BECOME 12 HOUSES AND ALTERNATING
SETBACKS AND CREATING THIS CLAUSTROPHOBIC FEEL IN THIS
NEIGHBORHOOD, AND WE CHOSE THIS AREA BECAUSE HOUSES WERE
NOT LIKE THAT.
I READ THE TRANSCRIPT FROM THE MARCH 12 HEARING, REZONING
HEARING FOR 2907 WEST EUCLID, AND THIS COUNCIL VOTED
UNANIMOUSLY AGAINST THAT.
THIS CASE IS IDENTICAL.
CITY OF TAMPA SAYING THE ZONING PROPOSAL WAS INCONSISTENT
WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA PLAN.
YOU HAVE A BUSY STREET.
YOU HAD PEDESTRIANS.
YOU HAD ALL THE ZONES -- ZONED FOR RS-606 OR HIGHER.
AND, OF COURSE, CONCERN FOR SLIPPERY SLOPE THAT WE DON'T
WANT TO HAVE IN BAYSHORE BOULEVARD OF SOUTH TAMPA.
LASTLY, I WANT TO ADDRESS THE LETTERS OF SUPPORT THAT MR.
MICHELINI HANDED YOU.
WHEN I GOT HOME FROM WORK, I WAS TOLD A REALTOR, OLD
PRINCIPAL OF COLEMAN CAME BY AND TALKING TO ALL PEOPLE HE
KNEW.
I SAID. WHY DID YOU SIGN THIS DOCUMENT?
THEY SAID HE WAS SO NICE AND TALKED TO ME FOR 30 MINUTES
ABOUT THE GOOD OL' DAYS AND THOUGHT -- PLEASE DON'T PUT STOCK
IN THAT.
I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
06:46:51PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT?
06:46:57PM >> HI, MATTHEW HOWELL.
I AM ONE BLOCK UP ON WEST WALLCRAFT, TWO BLOCKS OVER.
I SHOULD PROBABLY SAY DITTO BECAUSE THAT IS MUCH MORE
ELOQUENT.
I AM NOT NEARLY AS PREPARED BUT GOOD PRACTICE TO SAY WE ARE
VERY CONCERNED.
I AM THE ONLY ONE HERE FROM MY BLOCK THAT I SEE, BUT
BASICALLY ABOUT CONGESTION AND INCREASED POPULATION DENSITY.
MANY OF THE NEIGHBORS FEEL THE SAME, BUT I'M HERE SPEAKING
FOR MYSELF, MY FAMILY, AND MY TWO YOUNG GIRLS ELEMENTARY AGE
LIVING ON THAT BLOCK AND SEEN THE DETRIMENT OF THE NICE
LOTS SPLIT TO BUILD ANOTHER HOME.
DEFINITELY HAD AN IMPACT ON NOT ONLY COMMUTING BUT CHILDREN
PLAYING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH CONCERNS ME.
I VERY MUCH ECHO WHAT SHE SAID BEFORE ME.
I AM AGAINST THAT.
ALSO, FOR PRECEDENT, IT MAY SET BECAUSE SOMEBODY ON MY BLOCK
CONSIDERING THE SAME KIND OF PROPOSAL.
AND SO IN PREPARATION FOR THAT, I WANTED TO TRY TO GET
ACTIVE FOR MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
THANKS.
06:47:53PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS PETITION?
OKAY.
REBUTTAL?
06:48:11PM >> CAN YOU SEE THAT ALL RIGHT?
06:48:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.
06:48:13PM >> THIS IS THE MAP THAT CHRISTOPHER OF CITY STAFF PUT UP.
THERE ARE OTHER LOTS THAT REZONED FOR RS-50.
A WHOLE SECTION IN HERE.
THERE IS ONE HERE.
I AM NOT SURE WHAT THAT PD IS, BUT THERE ARE OTHERS.
AND ALL COUNTRY LOTS -- OF THE LOTS THAT I SHOWED YOU ARE
ADJACENT NONCONFORMING 50-FOOT LOTS.
HOMES ARE BUILT THAT WAY.
THIS IS -- THIS IS WALLCRAFT, AND HARBOR VIEW.
ALL OF THESE, EVERY ONE OF THEM IS NOT A 60-FOOT LOT.
THEY ARE ALL NONCONFORMING.
IT IS NOT INTRODUCING A NEW DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OR A NEW
PRECEDENT.
IT IS NOT GOING TO INCREASE NECESSARILY THE TRAFFIC -- WE
GOT THE ECHO GOING AGAIN.
WHAT IT DOES DO IS ALLOW THESE GENTLEMEN WHOSE MOTHER PASSED
AWAY TO -- TO BE ABLE TO REDEVELOP THAT LOT.
I SHOWED YOU THE PICTURE.
THOSE -- THAT IS LOOKING DOWN THE STREET ON HARBOR VIEW.
THOSE ARE 50-FOOT LOTS.
THOSE ARE NOT BIG LOTS.
AND, YOU KNOW, STILL HAVE TO MEET IN THE EVENT THAT YOU
APPROVE THIS, YOU STILL HAVE TO MEET THE CODE.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO OBSTRUCT VIEWS.
REGARDING TRAFFIC.
YOU ARE STILL GOING TO HAVE SAME KIND OF SETBACKS.
WITH RESPECT TO THE DISTANCE, THERE IS ALMOST 15 FEET
BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THE PAVEMENT.
LET ME SHOW YOU ON THE -- BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THE PAVEMENT
AND THE RIGHT-OF-WAY WHERE THE BUILDING LINE STARTS.
NOW YOU CAN SEE IT HERE.
THERE IS A DISTANCE BETWEEN EDGE OF THIS CURB AND THEN THE
BACK OF THE SIDEWALK HERE.
IT IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 12 AND 15 FEET.
BEFORE THE PROPERTY LINE EVEN STARTS.
AND THIS PROPERTY IS 55 -- AT LEAST THE PROPOSAL IS THAT
LOTS WILL BE 150 FEET VERSUS 106 FEET DEEP.
THEY WILL NOT BE CRAMMED UP AND UP TO THE EDGE OF THE
SIDEWALK OR CREATING A TRANSPORTATION ISSUE.
AND, AGAIN, THEY HAVE TO MEET ALL OF THE CODES.
THEY HAVE TO MEET TRANSPORTATION.
AND THEY WILL BE LOOKING AT THE VIEW TRIANGLE.
SO THIS IS THE -- THIS IS THE ORIGINAL PLAT FOR THE -- FOR
THIS -- THIS PARCEL.
AND ALL THESE LOTS WERE PLATTED THAT WAY.
SO IT WAS -- IT WAS THE CITY THAT CAME IN AND REZONED THEM
TO RS-60 THAT MADE THEM NONCONFORMING.
ANYWAY.
YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING?
COME ON UP, QUICKLY, YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES.
06:51:14PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
CAN YOU PAUSE FOR A SECOND AN LET HIM COME
UP.
06:51:20PM >> MY NAME IS ROBERT SULLENBERGER.
AND I JUST WANT TO SAY AS FAR AS THE SAFETY AND STUFF LIKE
THAT, AS LONG AS I HAVE BEEN THERE, I HAVE SEEN MAYBE ONE OR
TWO ACCIDENTS.
SOMEBODY MAKING A U-TURN WHICH WAS THEIR FAULT BECAUSE THEY
WERE MAKING A U-TURN.
MOST OF THE TRAFFIC COMES FROM THE Y.
RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD, THEY HAVE BRICKS, FLASHING LIGHTS, TWO
OR THREE OF THEM WITH SIDEWALKS ON EITHER SIDE.
SO AS FAR AS PEOPLE WALKING, MOST PEOPLE WALK ON THE
SIDEWALK AND NOT IN THE STREET.
SO AS LONG AS I LIVED THERE, I -- I WAS THREE YEARS OLD WHEN
I MOVED INTO THAT HOUSE.
AND LIKE HE SAID, THERE WAS NO HIMES.
AND THEY HAD JUST BUILT BRITON PLAZA AND ALL THE LAND WHERE
THE Y IS USED TO BE PALMA CEIA LITTLE LEAGUE.
BUT BEFORE THAT PALMA CEIA LITTLE LEAGUE WAS ON MacDILL.
WHEN THEY GOT THE PROPERTY FOR THE Y, THEY USED PALMA CEIA
DOWN FURTHER.
AND YOU HAVE GOT KIDS PLAYING THERE ALL THE TIME.
AND, I MEAN, I HAVE SEEN NO PROBLEMS WITH THE SAFETY OR
ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
I LIVED IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD FOR 750 -- 70 SOMETHING YEARS
AND I SEEN ANY CONCERN.
06:52:55PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANYTHING ELSE, MR. MICHELINI?
30 SECONDS.
06:52:59PM >> RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL.
THIS IS NOT A NEW DEVELOPMENT PATTERN.
IT ALREADY EXISTS.
WE ARE SIMPLY TRYING TO MAKE IT CONFORMING AND ALLOW THESE
INDIVIDUALS TO DEVELOP TWO LOTS.
THANK YOU.
06:53:11PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
CAN I GET A MOTION TO CLOSE?
06:53:19PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:

ANYBODY WANT TO SAY ANYTHING BEFORE THE VOTE?
I WILL SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ONE, BECAUSE THIS IS GOING
TO BE UNUSUAL FOR ME, BUT THIS BLOCK VERY CLEARLY ON THAT
SIDE OF STREET ALREADY HAS 50- TO 53-FOOT LOTS.
SO I AM -- I AM GOING TO SUPPORT THIS, BECAUSE THIS IS ONLY
THIS SIDE OF THE BLOCK.
IF IT WAS ON THE OTHER SIDES, I WOULD NOT AGREE, BUT THIS --
THIS BLOCK HAS 50 FEET ALL THE WAY ACROSS, AND SO BECAUSE OF
THAT AND I DO APPRECIATE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THE TRAFFIC,

A REZONING.

06:56:06PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
A QUICK QUESTION FOR US FIRST.
I NEVER SEEN AN ADDRESS NORTH MASSACHUSETTS 1/2.

I WANTED TO ASK BECAUSE I NEVER HAVE SEEN THAT BEFORE.
06:56:31PM >>MEAGHAN MCCARTHY:
MEAGHAN McCARTHY WITH YOUR PLANNING
COMMISSION STAFF.
NEXT IS REZ-26-27.
THE TAMPA HEIGHTS URBAN VILLAGE AND THE TAMPA HEIGHTS
NEIGHBORHOOD.
SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN EVACUATION ZONE D.
THIS PORTION OF NORTH MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE BETWEEN WEST
PLYMOUTH STREET AND WEST BRADDOCK STREET CONTAIN
SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES AND VACANT LAND.
ADDITIONALLY, DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTH IS THE TECO SUBSTATION.
TO THE WEST, COMMERCIAL USES ALONG NORTH BOULEVARD AND TO THE
NORTH AND EAST ARE PUBLIC, QUASI-PUBLIC WOODLAWN CEMETERY,
PLYMOUTH PLAYGROUND, AND AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN RESIDENTIAL-20 LAND USE
DESIGNATION.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE APPLICATION AND
FOUND NO ADVERSE IMPACTS AND NO SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS.
THIS REZONING WILL ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL HOUSING IN THE URBAN
VILLAGE AND MEETS POLICY DIRECTION FOR UNDERUTILIZED
PARCELS.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY RESIDENTIAL-20
SUPPORT MEDIUM AND LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
INCLUDING ATTACHED AND DETACHED SINGLE-FAMILY, AS WELL AS
MULTIFAMILY.
DUE TO THE MIXTURE OF USES WITHIN PROXIMITY TO LIGHT
COMMERCIAL ALONG NORTH BOULEVARD, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
HAS DETERMINED THAT THE PROPOSED RM-18 ZONING DISTRICT IS BOTH
COMPARABLE TO AND COMPATIBLE WITH SURROUNDING AREA AND
PROVIDES ADDITIONAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES WITH CONNECTIVITY
TO NORTH BOULEVARD, A COLLECTOR ROADWAY WITH COMMERCIAL
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND
I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
06:58:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU.
06:58:22PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
GOOD EVENING, STEPHANIE POPE, LAND
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
START WITH THE AERIAL VIEW SUBJECT SITE IN THE AREA.
YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN RED ON THE WEST
SIDE OF NORTH MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE.
HERE IS NORTH BOULEVARD, WEST PLYMOUTH AND WEST WEST STREET.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS SURROUNDED BY RS-50 DEVELOPMENT ON ALL
SIDES NORTH, SOUTH, WEST AND EAST, WITH RESIDENTIAL
SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNITS ON THE NORTH, WEST, SOUTH,
AND TO THE EAST IS THE PLYMOUTH PLAYGROUND.
FURTHER TO THE EAST IS GOING TO BE THAT WOODLAWN CEMETERY.
AND ONCE YOU TRAVEL A LITTLE BIT MORE WEST TO -- TOWARD NORTH
BOULEVARD, THERE ARE FOUR RO, RESIDENTIAL OFFICE, ZONINGS AND
TWO PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS TO THE NORTHEAST.
BOTH OF THOSE PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS ARE APPROVED FOR BUSINESS
PROFESSIONAL OFFICE USES.
NEXT, WE WILL SHOW A SURVEY OF THE PROPERTY.
IT IS OUTLINED IN YELLOW.
THERE IS -- THE PROPERTY HAS A 50-FOOT FRONTAGE ALONG NORTH
MASSACHUSETTS AND 100 FOOT IN DEPTH.
SINCE THIS IS A EUCLIDIAN REZONING, THERE ARE NO SITE PLANS
OR ELEVATIONS.
NEXT I WILL SHOW SOME PHOTOS.
HERE IS A PHOTO OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
THIS IS NORTH.
THIS IS LOOKING NORTH ON MASSACHUSETTS.
THIS IS EAST.
AND THIS IS LOOKING AT THE PLYMOUTH PLAYGROUND.
THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH DOWN MASSACHUSETTS.
THIS IS SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
AND THIS IS WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION AND COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE
APPLICATION AND FIND THE REQUEST TO BE INCONSISTENT.
THE REQUESTED RM-18 ZONING DISTRICT IS INCONSISTENT WITH
AREA SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AND
THEREFORE NOT AN APPROPRIATE TRANSITION FOR SUBJECT PROPERTY
NEAR THE CENTER OF THIS BLOCK TO MORE INTENSE RESIDENTIAL
MULTIFAMILY ZONING.
I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
07:00:48PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY QUESTIONS?
OKAY.
APPLICANT.
07:00:50PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
I HAVE A POWERPOINT THAT HOPEFULLY WILL LOAD UP.
07:01:05PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
START WITH YOUR NAME.
07:01:12PM >> MY NAME IS MATT SIENK, 401 WEST PARK AVENUE.
I AM THE APPLICANT AND THE PROPERTY OWNER.
SO THE -- THIS IS ACTUALLY MOST EXCITING PROJECT I HAVE DONE
FOR A LONG TIME, BECAUSE IT IS ACTUALLY MISSING MIDDLE
PRODUCT IN TAMPA HEIGHTS, WHICH KIND OF MATCHES THE ORIGINAL
WAY THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS.
JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND, I HAVE BEEN IN
TAMPA HEIGHTS FOREVER.
I ACTUALLY HAVE MY OFFICE IN THERE.
AND I SPECIALIZE IN THAT LOCATION.
I ALSO HAVE A HISTORY OF BUILDING THROUGHOUT.
DESIGN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE SEE THE THINGS I BOUGHT AND BUILT AND THEY
DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY ARE BRAND-NEW.
GOAL IS TO ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE BUILD MATCHES
COMMUNITY AND IS RESPECTFUL TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE
HERITAGE THAT WE HAVE.
I ALSO AM PRETTY ENGAGED WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I AM ON THE TAMPA HEIGHTS CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
AND I AM ALSO IN THE LAND USE COMMITTEE FOR THAT.
SO THE GREAT THING ABOUT THAT, I GET INSIGHT FROM THE
NEIGHBORHOOD ON WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR AND WHAT IS
IMPORTANT TO THEM.
JUST TO GIVE YOU GUYS AN IDEA WHAT OUR PRODUCT LOOKS LIKE.
THESE ARE THREE EXAMPLES.
AND MY JOB IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE BUILDING AND CREATING
COMPATIBLE HOUSING WITHIN THE TAMPA HEIGHTS AREA.
THE REASON I'M DOING THIS REQUEST IS THAT TAMPA HEIGHTS,
WHEN WE MOVED THERE WAS AN AFFORDABLE PLACE CLOSE TO
DOWNTOWN.
AND IT IS VERY, VERY QUICKLY BECOMING NOT AFFORDABLE.
AND IT IS KIND OF SAD TO SEE OUR NEIGHBORS WHO LIVE THERE NO
LONGER TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT.
BY GOING TO RM-18, ALLOWS US TO DO DUPLEXES, TRIPLEXES,
MIDDLE MISSING PRODUCTS WE ARE ALL TALKING ABOUT TO INCREASE
DENSITY AND BRING THE PRICING OF HOUSING CLOSER TO IN LINE
WITH WHAT PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY AFFORD.
THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT A DUPLEX LOOKS LIKE NEXT TO
SINGLE-FAMILY, NEXT TO JUST OUR ECLECTIC NEIGHBORHOOD WE
HAVE IN GENERAL.
THE BIG UNIQUE THING OF MISSING MIDDLE AND YOU ALL KIND OF
KNOW IT IS THE SMALLER SCALE.
IT IS MULTIUNIT BUT STILL COMPATIBLE IN FAMILY FRIENDLY
NEIGHBORHOODS.
WE CAN DO THIS BY DOING A COUPLE OF WAYS.
BUT ESSENTIALLY MAKING THE DESIGN APPEAR AND TO BE
COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
ALSO ALLOWS US TO ADDRESS HOUSING SHORTAGES.
INCREASES DENSITY WHICH IS GREAT FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.
IT IS GOOD FOR WALKABILITY.
IT IS GOOD FOR NEIGHBORHOOD ENGAGEMENT.
DENSITY IS GOOD IN DOWNTOWN.
AND ALSO CONSISTENT WITH THE CHARACTER OF TAMPA HEIGHTS.
FUNNY THING.
THIS IS KIND OF MISLEADING, AND I HAVE TO CORRECT THIS SLIDE
A LITTLE BIT, BUT IF WE LOOK AT THE AVERAGE SOLD PRICE
MULTIFAMILY ABOUT $338 PER SQUARE FOOT.
SINGLE-FAMILY IS $414 PER SQUARE FOOT.
THESE ARE RECENT CLOSINGS ON HOMES BILL WILL AFTER 2025.
NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION, RIGHT.
YOU LOOK AT AVERAGE SQUARE FOOTAGE, MULTIFAMILY AVERAGING
2,300 SQUARE FEET AND SINGLE-FAMILY IS AVERAGING CLOSE TO
3,000 SQUARE FEET.
LITTLE OVER 3,000 SQUARE FEET.
SO PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT IS ACTUALLY 20% LESS FOR
MULTIFAMILY VERSUS SINGLE-FAMILY.
BUT IF YOU ALSO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE DIFFERENCE IN
SQUARE FOOTAGE, YOU ACTUALLY BRING THE COST OF HOUSING DOWN
40%.
SOURCE HAVING LOWER PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT BECAUSE YOU ARE
SPLITTING LAND COST.
AND YOU ARE BRINGING SIZE OF SQUARE FOOTAGE DOWN AND
REDUCING THE PRICE THERE.
YOU TAKE SOMETHING THAT IS OVER $1 MILLION IN THAT
NEIGHBORHOODS AND NOW BRINGING THINGS DOWN BY 40%, WHICH
ACTUALLY MAKES IT SOMEWHAT MORE ATTAINABLE IN OUR MARKET.
THIS IS MY PASSION.
THIS IS WHY I KIND OF CAME IN FRONT OF YOU GUYS TO BUILD THE
MISSING MIDDLE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE OTHER REALLY COOL THING ABOUT THIS SITE IS -- IT IS, LIKE,
THE POSTER CHILD OF REALLY GOOD LOCATION.
WE ARE WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE TO ROUTE ONE, WHICH WE ALL
KNOW IS THE NUMBER ONE BUS ROUTE IN THE CITY, RIGHT.
OLA, THE BIKE ROUTE JUST OPENED UP.
SO NOW WE ARE ON A BIKE PATH INTO STRAIGHT INTO DOWNTOWN.
AND IF YOU GO RIGHT ACROSS THE PARK IN FRONT OF GRAHAM'S
PLACE, THE HOSTEL.
A NEIGHBORHOOD IS A COLLECTIVE.
WE HAVE A HOSTEL/HOTEL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
NOT EVERYTHING LOOKS LIKE IT DOES ON THE MAP.
WE HAVE EVERY MOBILITY OPTION THERE IS FOR PEOPLE IN AN
UNDER FOUR-MINUTE WALK AND IT'S FANTASTIC.
I DON'T WANT TO SQUANDER THAT SITE FOR SOMETHING THAT
DOESN'T MAXIMIZE THIS USE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO R-20 FUTURE LAND USE IS ESSENTIAL FOR MISSING MIDDLE AND
SO IS RM-18, AND WE CAN GET THE DENSITY.
REDUCES THE COST FOR HOUSING TO HAVE MORE UNITS.
IT IS A PRIME LOCATION FOR TRANSPORTATION AND TRANSPORTATION
ALTERNATIVES.
AND IT ACTUALLY MATCHES OUR PREZONING LAYOUT OF OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE HAD MULTIFAMILY IN TAMPA HEIGHTS FOREVER.
IF YOU LOOK THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY
SHOW UP ON A MAP, BUT THEY ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE.
AND SO ONE OF THE SUPPORTING POLICIES IS -- IT IS TO HAVE
DENSITY FOR TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT.
THIS IS GREAT LOCATION FOR THIS.
COMPATIBILITY.
TAMPA HEIGHTS, AS WE KNOW, IS ECLECTIC.
NOT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL.
IT IS A VILLAGE, URBAN VILLAGE AND HOW WE OPERATE.
ONE OF THE GOALS IS TO HAVE DIFFERENT USES IN DIVERSITY OF
HOUSING AND THIS DOES EXACTLY THAT.
AND MANY EXAMPLES OF SIMILAR SITES WITH R-50 THAT ARE
ACTUALLY NOT ON OUR MAPS.
SO I WENT AND LOOKED AT STAFF'S FINDING AND THEIR REQUEST
FOR RM-18 WAS INCONSISTENT WITH AN AREA OF SINGLE-FAMILY
DETACHED DEVELOPMENT PATTERN.
BUT I COULD NOT FIND ANY CODE THAT SAYS THAT YOU CONDITION
HAVE A DIFFERENT ZONING MIDBLOCK.
YOU COULDN'T FIND IT.
AND IT WAS NOT CITED ON THE REPORT.
SO I DON'T REALLY KNOW -- I AM DOING EUCLIDIAN SO WE ARE NOT
LOOKING FOR ANY MODIFICATIONS.
GOING FOR TAMPA HEIGHTS OVERLAY DISTRICT.
WE WILL BUILD WITHIN THESE GUIDELINES.
I AM A LITTLE BIT CURIOUS HOW WE HAVE CONSISTENT MATRIX
THAT SAYS R-20.
COMPATIBILITY IS RM-18.
ON THE COMPATIBILITY MATRIX.
FOR IT TO BE FOUND INCONSISTENT WAS KIND OF JARRING FOR ME.
BUT I WANTED TO GIVE EXAMPLES HOW THIS LOOKS IN OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD.
THESE ARE TWO EXAMPLES.
ONE IS ON COLUMBUS, AND ONE ON HIGHLAND.
THESE MATCH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE WALK BY THESE THINGS AND SEE THIS VARIETY EVERY DAY.
THIS IS IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.
ONES UP IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS UP FROM CHELSEA AND A GOOD
EXAMPLE OF WHAT GOOD DESIGN LOOKS LIKE IN HISTORIC
DISTRICTS.
SO ON A MAP, YOU MIGHT NOT SEE RM-18 USES, LIKE, DUPLEXES,
BUT ONE HOUSE DOWN, IF YOU LOOK AT THE SUBJECT SITE, YOU
WILL SEE A STAR RIGHT BELOW IT.
IT IS ACTUALLY A DUPLEX.
YOU GO ONE BLOCK OVER, IT IS ACTUALLY A DUPLEX.
GO ACROSS THE PARK, GRAHAM'S PLACE IS HOSTEL.
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS PEPPERED WITH THESE DIFFERENT USES, AND
THEY ARE NONCONFORMING BUT THE WAY OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HAS
BEEN.
THIS HOW THEY ARE PEPPERED AROUND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN AROUND.
THIS IS WHAT IS IT LOOKS LIKE.
30 UNIT ONE AND TWO IS ONE HOUSE DOWN NEXT TO THE BLUE HOUSE
TO THE SOUTH AND HAS BEEN THERE AS LONG AS I HAVE BEEN
THERE.
IT HAS BEEN OVER 20 YEARS.
GRAHAM'S PLACE, BECAUSE IT IS JUST FUN.
AND IT A TRIPLEX ON ARLINGTON THAT IS REALLY NEAT BECAUSE IT
FITS THE NEIGHBORHOOD VERY WELL AND KIND OF SHOWS THE
VARIETY THAT WE HAVE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
SO SUPPORTING POLICY.
ODDLY ENOUGH, THE POLICY THEY STATED IN THE REPORT IS
ACTUALLY WHAT SUPPORTS IT, WHICH IS RM-18, RESIDENTIAL
MULTIFAMILY PROVIDES LOW AND MEDIUM-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL
USES INCLUDING SINGLE-FAMILY AND TWO FAMILY DEVELOPMENTS.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE GOING FOR.
AND I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SAY, COMPATIBILITY IS NOT EQUAL.
DOES NOT EQUAL OR EQUATE TO IDENTICAL ZONING.
IT CAN STILL BE COMPATIBILITY.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO HAVE THE SAME ZONING.
THE WAY IT FEELS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL FEEL GOOD.
TAMPA HEIGHTS OVERLAY DISTRICT.
INTENT OF THE OVERLAY DISTRICT THAT I ACTUALLY WAS LUCKY
ENOUGH TO BE A PART OF ALSO SUPPORTS THAT, WHICH IS PROMOTING
UNIQUE CHARACTER, WALKABILITY, TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
AND HOUSING OPTIONS.
COVERED EACH ONE OF THESE THINGS BY HAVING A DUPLEX ACROSS
FROM A VERY GOOD PARK IN MIDDLE OF TAMPA HEIGHTS.
AGAIN, CONSISTENCY MATRIX ALSO SHOWS US THAT R-20 LAND USE
IS COMPATIBILITY WITH RM-18.
I ALSO PRESENTED THIS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE IT IS
IMPORTANT TO ME.
SO I PRESENT TO THE TAMPA HEIGHTS LAND USE COMMITTEE.
AND THEY SHOWED APPROVAL FOR IT.
IT IS ON THE RECORD FOR ITS CIVIC ASSOCIATION LAND USE
COMMITTEE.
SO BASED ON THE INFORMATION PRESENTED, I AM ASKING THAT
COUNCIL APPROVE THE REZONING FROM RS-50 TO RM-18.
AND I'M HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU ALL MAY HAVE.
07:10:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?
OKAY.
DO WE HAVE ANYONE FROM PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS
ITEM?
YOU CAN COME THIS WAY.
THAT'S FINE.
AND YOU BOTH HAVE BEEN SWORN?
07:10:37PM >> YES.
07:10:37PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YOU CAN EACH HAVE THREE MINUTES IF YOU
PREFER.
07:10:41PM >> MY WIFE CAN DO IT.
SHE IS A BETTER SPEAKER.
07:10:44PM >> I AM SORRY, I WILL TRY TO PROJECT.
07:10:46PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YOU WANT TO BE BOTH.
07:10:48PM >> I AM MICHELLE ROSARIO.
07:10:52PM >> AND KEVIN ROSARIO.
07:10:53PM >> WE LIVE ON THE PROPERTY DIRECTLY BEHIND THE PROPOSED LOT
TO THE LEFT OF THAT PROPERTY.
SO WE BELIEVE THAT REZONING FROM A SINGLE-FAMILY TO A
MULTIFAMILY IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE OVERARCHING THEME OF
NEIGHBORHOOD'S CHARACTER.
MOST HOMES ON THAT STREET ARE SINGLE-FAMILY.
HE DID MENTION THE ONE EXCEPTION THAT IS DIRECTLY NEXT TO
THAT, BUT IT IS STILL ZONED AS RD-50 AS SINGLE-FAMILY HOME.
THAT AREA HAS GROWN, ALL YOU THIS DEVELOPMENTS TO MAINTAIN
THE CHARM AND CHARACTER OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH INCLUDES
BEING SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
MOST OF THESE NEW FAMILIES HAVE ENJOYED THE NEW CHARM AND
PRIVACY.
MY HOME IS ONE SUCH EXAMPLE.
SO MY LOT WAS A SMALLER LOT ADJOINING TO A LARGER LOT THAT
BECAME A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME.
IT IS ABOUT AS -- ALMOST AS WIDE AS THE PROPOSED LOT.
THERE IS ONLY ONE ELEVATED APARTMENT DWELLING AT 3104 NORTH
MASSACHUSETTS ON THAT STREET.
IT IS CAUSING HEIGHT AND PRIVACY ISSUES FOR US.
IT IS DIRECTLY BEHIND US TO THE RIGHT.
THIS IS ALREADY AN EXISTING DWELLING THAT I BELIEVE
DEMONSTRATES THE SAME DIFFICULTIES THAT THE PROPOSED SITE
WOULD HAVE.
THE SITE IS NOT PARTICULARLY WIDE; THEREFORE, ITS
INHABITANTS -- OH, SORRY.
THEY TEND TO BE A LITTLE LOUD.
BECAUSE IT IS NOT A VERY WIDE AREA, THEY TENDS TO HAVE TO
PARK EITHER IN ADJOINING STREETS OR DIRECTLY ACROSS THE
STREET.
THERE IS A SMALL AREA THAT IS CLOSE OFF TO THE BACK OF THE
PARK THAT IS USUALLY LOCKED.
THEY USUALLY JUST PARK THEIR CARS RIGHT THERE.
THE HEIGHT -- I BELIEVE THIS NEW PROPOSED STRUCTURE WILL
ACCOMMODATE TO BE A TRUE MULTIFAMILY HOME WILL EN FRINGE ON
PRIVACY OF OUR YARD AND THE YARD TO OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE
LEFT OF US.
MOST LIKELY SCENARIO THAT LOT IS NOT FLIPPED TO IMPROVE
HOUSING, BUT A LOT OF HOUSES THAT ARE FLIPPED, ESPECIALLY
OLDER HOUSES IN NEED OF TENDER, LOVE AND CARE TO BE ABLE TO
MAINTAIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND INSTEAD TRYING TO CRAM AS MUCH
PEOPLE IN THAT SMALL LOT AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE.
AND ANOTHER ONE YOU HAVE THESE PROPERTIES THAT WILL BE
FLANKING OURS I THINK WILL LESSEN PRIVACY FOR OUR NEIGHBORS
AND OURSELVES, AS WELL AS AFFECT OUR PROPERTY VALUE SHOULD
WE NEED TO SELL IN THE FUTURE.
IN ADDITION, WE FEAR THIS WILL CAUSE SIGNIFICANT PRECEDENT
FOR FUTURE REZONING FOR OLDER HOMES AS THEY SELL.
THAT'S IT.
THANK YOU.
07:13:22PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK?
OKAY.
REBUTTAL.
07:13:28PM >> THANK YOU, GUYS FOR COMING.
MATT SEINK, WEST PARK AVENUE.
I LOVE THAT PEOPLE COME TO SPEAK ON THIS BECAUSE WE COME
INTO SOMETHING EDUCATED.
WHAT THIS HIGHLIGHTS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RS-50
AND RM-18.
WHAT YOU WILL FIND IS THAT THE SETBACKS AND THE HEIGHT
REQUIREMENTS, THINGS THAT CAUSE PRIVACY WILL BE SAME WHETHER
IT IS A SINGLE HOME OR MULTIFAMILY H MULTIFAMILY.
YOU CAN GO UP TO YOU 35 FEET.
IF YOU WERE ON THE SECOND FLOOR LOOKING OUT WINDOWS,
SINGLE-FAMILY HOME, IT WILL BE WINDOWS.
MULTIFAMILY, IT WILL BE WINDOWS.
DIFFERENCE ON PRIVACY WILL BE SAME FOR OUR NEIGHBORS.
BECAUSE WE HAVE TO ABIDE BY THE SAME RULES.
OTHER THING THAT WAS ALWAYS MENTIONED IS PARKING.
I AM NOT ASKING FOR A PARKING WAIVER.
WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR ANY REDUCTIONS IN PARKING.
WE CAN MAKE OUR DESIGNS WORK AND MAKE SURE WE ARE HOLDING
APPROPRIATE VEHICLES ON THE SITE PER TAMPA CODE.
SO I JUST THINK -- I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT
THE SETBACKS ARE ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME.
GO FROM 25 FEET FRONTAGE AND 15 REAR.
I COULD PROBABLY SEE TO DO A 20-FOOT SETBACK IF THE CITY
ALLOWS ME, BUT I WAS TRYING TO COME IN THIS WITH A CLEAN NO
WAIVER EUCLIDIAN ZONING TO MAKE SURE I AM ABIDING BY THE
TAMPA HEIGHTS OVERLAY DISTRICT AND ALL THE RULES AND
REGULATIONS FOR RM-18 WITHOUT CAUSING ANY HEARTACHE.
ANY QUESTIONS?
WE ARE HAPPY TO HELP.
07:15:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
IS THAT IS IT?
07:15:16PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:

CEREMONIAL THING.
IT IS MAGIC.
07:16:46PM >>MEAGHAN McCARTHY:
MEAGHAN McCARTHY, PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF.
LOCATED WITHIN CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT, WEST TAMPA
VILLAGE AND WEST ARMORY GARDENS NEIGHBORHOOD.
SUBJECT SITE IS WITHIN EVACUATION ZONE Z.
MAINTAINS SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES WITH SCATTERED FAMILY
USES, MULTIFAMILY, COMMERCIAL AND OFFICE USES ARE TO EAST.
STATE ARMORY, VILA BROTHERS PARK, AND THE BRIAN GLAZER JEWISH
COMMUNITY CENTER ARE LOCATED TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST
ALONG NORTH ARMENIA AVENUE.
SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE RESIDENTIAL-20 FUTURE
LAND USE CATEGORY.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAVE REVIEWED THE ACTION AND FOUND
NO ADVERSE IMPACTS TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
REZONING WOULD ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL HOUSING WITHIN THE WEST
TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE AND MEETS POLICY DIRECTION FOR IN FILL
DIRECTION ON UNDERUTILIZED PARCELS.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY RESIDENTIAL-20
SUPPORTS MEDIUM AND LOW-DENSITIES RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
INCLUDING PROPOSED SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI-DETACHED.
PROPOSED PD WILL DEVELOP THE PARCEL AT 18.8 DWELLING UNITS
PER ACRE FOR DENSITY UNDER RESIDENTIAL-20 DESIGNATION.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF DETERMINED THAT THE PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT IS BOTH COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE
SURROUNDING AREA AND SUPPORT POLICY THAT A LOW SOUTH
CAROLINA HOUSING IN HIGHER TENSE DEE.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUPPORTS THE REQUESTS' INTENTION TO
PROMOTE A PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENTS THROUGH BUILDING
ORIENTATION AND THE ADDITION OF SIDEWALKS.
MOBILITY STAFF INDICATED ADJACENT ALLEY DOES NOT MEET THE
CRITERIA FOR AN OPEN AND IN-USE ALLEY, BUT ACCESS BY THE
ALLEY WILL BE SUPPORTED BY THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
IF APPROVED, THE REQUEST HAS POE TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
INFILL HOUSING WITHIN THE WEST CONTINUE URBAN VILLAGE WHERE
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DIRECTS THE GREATEST SHARE OF GROWTH.
BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
FIND THE REQUEST CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND
I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
07:18:51PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ANY QUESTIONS, NO?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
SIR, PLEASE COME ON UN.
07:18:58PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
AGAIN, FOR THE RECORD, CHRIS DEMANCHE, LAND
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
WE WILL START WITH AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
PROPERTY IS OUTLINED IN RED ON THE AERIAL.
LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF STATE POLICE.
SUBJECT BLOCK OF NORTH TAMPANIA AND NORTH ARMENIA AVENUE.
SINGLE-FAMILY DETACH DWELLINGS, AS WELL AS SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI
DETACHED DWELLINGS.
ZONING TO THE NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND WEST IS ALL RM-16.
PROPERTY IS ALSO LOCATED IN THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
IT HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY THE URBAN DESIGN TEAM FOR COMPLIANCE
WITH THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY DEVELOPMENT DESIGN STANDARDS.
WE DO HAVE A SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.
THE SITE PLAN SHOWS A SINGLE STRUCTURE WITH TWO
SINGLE-FAMILY DETACH DWELLING UNITS.
EACH UNITS CONTAIN AS ONE-CAR GARAGE AS WELL AS DRIVEWAY.
FRONT DOORS ARE ORIENTED TO WEST STATE STREET.
A WALKWAY PATH THAT CONNECTS TO A FIVE-FOOT SIDEWALK THAT
WILL RUN EAST TO WEST ON WEST STATE STREET.
WE ALSO HAVE PROPOSE ELEVATIONS.
I WILL SHOW THOSE.
SO WE HAVE THE SOUTH ELEVATION AND THE NORTH ELEVATION ON
THIS SHEET.
AND WE HAVE EAST AND WEST ELEVATIONS SHOWN AS WELL.
AND OF COURSE THE PROPOSED ELEVATION DEPICT THE TWO-STORY
STRUCTURE.
HEIGHT IS 31 FEET, 9 INCHES.
OF COURSE, THESE ELEVATIONS DEPICT THE RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER
OF THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
ONE WAIVER REQUEST WITH THIS APPLICATION, SECTION 27-241,

PROVIDED FOR WEST STATE STREET IN LIEU OF THE ALLEYWAY.

PETITION AND FIND THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF
TAMPA APPLICABLE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, AND I AM
AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
07:22:03PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I HAVE A QUESTION.
WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THE WAIVER?
IS THERE -- IS THERE NO ALLEY?
07:22:11PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:

THAT THIS IS AN OPEN BUT UNUSED PUBLIC ALLEYWAY.

OKAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
OKAY, APPLICANT.
07:22:31PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
JAMES LASCARA, REQUESTING A REZONING FROM RM-16 PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT FOR SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI-DETACHED.
I LIVE CLOSE THIS PROJECT ON GRACE STREET, AND I AM ALSO A
NEIGHBOR WITH A COMMUNITY OF THE PROPERTY ON CASS STREET
TWO BLOCKS AWAY.
A SMALL DEVELOPER IN TOWN.
100% SERVICE DISABLED VETERAN-OWNED BUSINESS, AND VAST
MAJORITY OF THE PROJECTS ARE LOCATED WITHIN SAME OVERLAY AS
THIS PROJECT, THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
I AM ENCOURAGED TO HEAR THAT STAFF REPORT WAS CONSISTENT IN
EVERY DEPARTMENT.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS ALSO BEEN VERY RECEPTIVE TO THIS
PROPOSAL.
WE HAVE RECEIVED EIGHT LETTERS OF SUPPORT FROM NEARBY
RESIDENTS WITH NO OPPOSITION, ALL OF WHICH HAS BEEN
SUBMITTED INTO THE RECORD FOR YOUR REVIEW.
WE ALSO HAD A POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE CIVIC
ASSOCIATION, WHICH I WILL ELABORATE ON FURTHER IN A MOMENT.
I WANTED TO MENTION THE SUBJECT SITE IS MARKED IN BLUE HERE.
AND LETTERS OF SUPPORT CAME FROM NEIGHBORS MARKED IN GREEN.
IN ORANGE ON THIS -- ON THIS MAP IS A PROPERTY THEIR HAS A
SEMI DETACHED USE NOW, WHICH IS THE SAME USE WE ARE
PROPOSING WITH THIS SUBMISSION.
AND A YELLOW WOULD BE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED USE CURRENTLY.
I WOULD LIKE TO READ A PETITION FOLLOWING DIRECT OUTREACH
AND CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER MEMBERS OF THIS BLOCK ON THIS
STREET AND LONG-TIME NEIGHBORS OF THE COMMUNITY.
I SPOKE IN DETAIL WITH HOPE AND LANA GONZALEZ, WHO ARE BOTH
SISTERS WHO LIVE ON ITS EXACT BLOCK OF STATE STREET AND WISH
--
07:24:16PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE SILENCE THEIR PHONE.
THANK YOU.
GO AHEAD.
07:24:20PM >> THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO MEET IN PERSON.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO READ THAT NOW.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I AM A LONG-TIME RESIDENT OF THIS
NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I AM AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY.
I AM WRITING TO SHARE MY PERSPECTIVE REGARDING THE PROPOSED
DEVELOPMENT REZ 26-29 AT 2114 WEST STATE STREET.
I LIVE ON THE SAME BLOCK.
ALLEY SOUTH OF STATE STREET DUE WEST OF ARMENIA AVENUE HAS
NOT BEEN IN ACTIVE USE FOR 25 YEARS.
BASED ON MY LONG-TERM EXPERIENCE IN THE COMMUNITY AND LIVING
IN THIS COMMUNITY UTILIZING THIS ALLEY WILL BE
INAPPROPRIATE.
THE ALLEY IS NOT OPEN FOR USE FOR USED AND ALL VEHICLES
ACCESS PARKING FOR THE HOUSES FROM THE STREET, NOT THE
ALLEY.
THE ALLEY IS NOT IN ACCESSIBLE.
WE APPRECIATE THE DEVELOPER TAKING TIME TO MEET WITH MEMBERS
OF NEIGHBORHOOD AND DISCUSS ANY CONCERNS WE SUPPORT THE
DEVELOPMENT, BUT DO NOT SUPPORT THE REUSE OR REOPENING OF
THE ALLEY.
DESPITE THE ALLEY NOT OPEN AND NOT USED ALLOWING VEHICLE
ACCESS THROUGH THE ALLEY WILL INTRODUCE INCREASED SAFETY
CONCERNS WHERE IT CONNECTS TO ARMENIA AVENUE.
WE FEEL CONFIDENT THIS WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT US AND OUR
SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS.
WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THE ALLEY STAY UNUSED.
AND THE NEIGHBORS UNDERSIGNED ARE IN AGREEMENT OF THIS
REQUEST.
THAT PETITION HAS BEEN SIGNED BY FIVE NEIGHBORS AND WAS
ADDED INTO THE RECORD, WHICH YOU ALL HAVE ACCESS TO.
WHILE THERE IS DISTINCT SUPPORT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT, A CLEAR
CONSENSUS REGARDING THE ALLEY.
EVERY NEIGHBOR I SPOKE WITH DOES NOT SUPPORT THE USE OF
ALLEY AS PART OF THIS PROPOSAL.
ALL THE SIGNATORS THAT ALL HOMES ACCESS PARKING FROM THE
STREET RATHER THAN THE ALLEY.
DISCUSSED WITH THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION MR. JEFF BALL AND WE
HAD A GREAT CONVERSATION THAT I ADDRESSED HAD IS AN CIVIC
ASSOCIATION'S CONCERN OF THE PROJECT.
I WANT TO DISCUSS SOME OF THE CONCERNS.
PD ASPECT OF THE PROPOSAL.
CONCERNS OF THE NATURE OF PD, MEANING THAT A DEVELOP CAN DO
WHATEVER THEY WANT WITH A SITE TO INCLUDE POTENTIAL
COMMERCIAL USE.
I EXPLAIN TO HIM AND AS WE ALL KNOW, THIS IS JUST NOT THE
TRUTH.
EVERY PD ZONING CARRIES A SPECIFIC USE IN THIS CASE IS
RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI DETACH.
PD IS JUST THE VEHICLE TO ACHIEVE THAT.
THIS INHERENTLY MEANS THE SITE WILL ONLY EVER BE TWO UNITS.
VERY CONSISTENT WITH WHAT ALREADY EXISTS NOW.
ALSO A CONCERN OF PD PROJECTS TAKE EVERYTHING THE
NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH WE ALSO KNOW CANNOT HAPPEN WITHOUT EVERY
SINGLE ONE BEING APPROVED BEFORE CITY COUNCIL.
THIS REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS IS INHERENTLY THE SAFEGUARD
PREVENTING A SCENARIO WHERE DEVELOPERS ARE RUNNING WILD
DOING WHATEVER THEY WANT.
I, TOO, DON'T WANT DEVELOPERS ARE WILD AND CREATE
OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE INCONSISTENT.
I, TOO, AM A NEIGHBOR OF THIS COMMUNITY.
CONCERNS OF HEIGHT THROUGH THE PD.
WE ARE NOT EXCEEDIN THE MAX HEIGHT PRESCRIBED BY CODE NOW
AND.
BLOCK FRONT AVERAGING FOR WEST TAMPA OVERLAY AND FIVE-FOOT
SETBACKS.
LASTLY, I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO DISCUSS THE BONUS
PROVISION AGREEMENTS.
APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT CARRIES SIGNIFICANT TO CITY BECAUSE
YOU HAVE BONUS AGREEMENTS.
MATHEMATICS WHICH IS 50 FEET WIDE AND 909 FEET DEEP,
TOTALING 8940 SQUARE FEET.
WE ARE 40 SQUARE FEET LESS THAN THE 4480 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM
REQUIRED BY RM-18 ZONING.
ONLY WAY FOR US TO ACHIEVE TWO UNITS ON THIS SITE IS TO
INHERENTLY GO THROUGH THE PD PROCESS.
HAND IN DOING SO, DO A BONUS AGREEMENT.
THE REZONING REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE SURROUNDING
AREA.
THERE ARE MULTIPLE TWO-UNIT PROPERTIES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY
MARKED IN ORANGE ON THE MAP DEMONSTRATING THAT IT IS
COMPATIBLE AND APPROPRIATE, I INCLUDED A PHOTO AND MAP WITH
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE, WHICH I WILL
EXPLAIN.
IN CLOSING, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST APPROVAL OF REZ-26-29.
WE HAVE OVERWHELMING SUPPORT OF NEIGHBORS ON THE STREET
WHICH WILL BE MOST AFFECTED BY THE PROPOSAL.
THOUGHTFUL ALIGNED GROWTH ADDRESSING NEED OF MISSING MIDDLE
IN THE COMMUNITY AND BRINGING NEW HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES TO
THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.

WHENEVER YOU ARE READY, TEN MINUTES.
07:31:34PM >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.
MY NAME IS SANDRA DIEGO SANCHEZ, AND I LIVE IN ARMORY
GARDENS.
IT IS A HERITAGE COMMUNITY UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF WEST TAMPA
OVERLAY.
BEFORE I ASK YOU TO DENY THIS FRIVOLOUS PD.
I WANT TO TELL YOU OF THE WAIVER -- THEY ARE REQUESTING A
WAIVER APPROVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR BASED ON
ERRONEOUS FINDINGS BY THE MOBILITY DEPARTMENT.
BUT FIRST I WILL TALK ABOUT THE REZONING.
ON PAGE ONE THAT I GAVE YOU IS THE ZONING MAP, AND THIS MAP
IS EAST SIDE OF ARMORY GARDENS.
ARMORY GARDENS HAS AN MANAGE FAIRY DIVIDE AT HABANA WEST
SIDE IS RS-50.
EAST IS OLDER AND OF THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE CITY'S ZONING MAP, NO PDS IN ARMORY
GARDEN.
JUST ON ARMENIA AND KENNEDY FOR COMMISSION USING LIKE
DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND ATTORNEYS.
THE SECOND IS THE TOWN HOUSES AND TRIPLEXES BUILT IN THE
COMMUNITY IN THE LAST FEW YEARS.
26 OF THEM.
MOST OF THEM AFTER 2015.
ALL OF THEM WERE COMPLETED WITH RM-16 OR RM-18 DESIGNATION.
NO PDs NECESSARY.
FIRST ITEM ON THE LIST ARE THE TOWN HOUSES THAT THIS
DEVELOPER BUILT A FEW MONTHS AGO.
IT IS ON THE SAME STREET A BLOCK AWAY.
HE BUILT UNDER RM-16 AND ABIDED BY THE GUIDELINES OF THE
WEST TAMPA OVERLAY WITH GARAGES THAT ACCESS THROUGH THE
ALLEY.
THE PETITIONER CANNOT PLEAD IGNORANCE.
HE KNEW HOW MUCH PROPERTY WOULD BE NEEDED TO BUILD TWO TOWN
HOUSES, AND HE KNEW THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE WEST TAMPA
OVERLAY.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE THROUGH ACELA.
A CERTIFIED SURVEY FROM ANOTHER DEVELOP THEIR WALKED FROM
IT.
MUNI CODE STATES AND I QUOTE PD IS RESERVED FOR UNIQUE
CONDITIONS.
THIS LOT IS NOT UNIQUE.
IT IS UNDERSIZED.
AT 4700 SQUARE FEET, TYPICAL SMALL LOT THAT HAS LONG
SUPPORTED ONE MODEST HOME.
SIZE ALONE IS NOT AN UNIQUE CONDITION.
THE HARDSHIP IS SELF-CREATE.
LOT DID NOT SHRINK AFTER THE PURCHASE.
THE PETITIONER KNOWINGLY BOUGHT A SINGLE UNIT LOT AND NOW
SEEKS A PD TO SIDE-STEP THE ZONING RULES.
THIS IS NOT WHAT PD ZONING IS FOR.
CALLING THIS LOT UNIQUE IS SIMPLY AN ATTEMPT TO MANUFACTURER
AN EXCEPTION.
AS LIST SHOWS, ARMORY GARDENS SUPPORT TOWN HOUSES, A
WELCOMES RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT IN OUR CURRENT ZONED
DENSITY.
BONUS REQUEST ATTACHED TO THE PD REQUEST OPENS A PANDORA'S
BOX HIGHER DENSITY.
WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ADD DENSITY WITH A CURRENT RM-18 AND 16
THAT COMPLEMENTS OUR AND ANY.
THE DEVELOPER DID MEET WITH SOME OF THE IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORS,
AND THE NEW ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE ARMORY GARDENS.
HE DID NOT FULLY EXPLAIN THE DANGERS OF THE PD REQUEST, FOR
HE DID MENTION WHAT THE BONUS DENSITY REALLY MEANT.
NOT KNOWING THIS IMPORTANT DETAIL, NEIGHBORS THOUGHT TOWN
HOUSES WOULD BE OKAY.
AND I WOULD AGREE, IF I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT THE ZONING
WAS SET UP A VERY DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.
NOW ON PAGE TWO.
THIS WAIVER IS IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH THE WEST TAMPA
OVERLAY PROVISION FOR ALLEYS.
MOBILITY REPORTS THAT THE ALLEY IS CLEAR BUT UNUSED.
THIS IS UNTRUE.
THE ALLEY IS USED.
MOBILITY STAFF, CITY PLANNER, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR DO NOT
RESIDE IN THE ARMORY GARDEN NEIGHBORHOOD.
THEY HAVE NO LOCAL KNOWLEDGE, AND HE DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE
DYNAMICS OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON ARMENIA AND HOW THIS
CONGESTION IMPACTS THE ALLEYS AND STREETS IN ARMORY GARDENS.
THE WORD "UNUSED" IS AMBIGUOUS AT BEST.
OUR ALLEYS ARE USE INCLUDING THIS ONE.
CLEAR IF THERE ARE STANDARDS FOR UNUSED BUT THEY ARE NOT.
LET ME BE CLEAR A HEAVY BUILDUP OF YARD WASTE IN THE CENTER,
BUT, AGAIN, WE ARE TALKING OF YARD WASTE THAT CAN BE
CLEANED.
THE ALLEY HAS NO OBSTRUCTION, AND THERE ARE NO POTHOLES.
THERE ARE TWO ALLEYS THAT ARE USED ARMORY GARDENS.
ONE IS BETWEEN NORTH A AND B AND WE ASKED FOR A STOP SIGN
BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC IS SO HEAVY.
THIS ONE IS USE.
NOT AS MUCH BUT IT IS USED.
TEN HOMES HAVE GATES TO THE ALLEY AND USE IT FOR UNLOADING,
AND UNFORTUNATELY, SOME RESIDENTS STILL DUMP AS WELL AS
STREAKERS.
ALLEY FUNCTIONS AS A WALKING ROUTE, BELIEVE IT OR NOT.
AS BAD AS IT IS.
ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS HERE TONIGHT WALKS HER DOG.
SAY NO METAL OR BROKE GLASS AND WALKED IT AS WELL, AND I
AGREE.
THIS ALLEY IS 14 FEET WIDE AND IT IS PAVED.
I HAVE DRIVEN THROUGH THE ALLEY SEVERAL TIMES.
MY CAR WAS NOT DAMAGED, NOR WAS I.
LAST PICTURE COMING DOWN THE ALLEY IS ME DRIVING IN THE CAR.
THIS DECISION WAS MADE BY ZONING ADMINISTRATOR AND NOT
THROUGH A DESIGN EXCEPTION, WHICH MEANS THERE WAS NO SIGNAGE
AND NO NOTICE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
IN THE PAST, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A DESIGN EXCEPTION ONE A
NOTICE ON THE PROPERTY.
NEIGHBORS ARE NO LONGER NOTIFIED AND THE ZONING
ADMINISTRATORS ARE MAKING DECISIONS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
PERMITS ARE BEING ISSUED ANTHER MOVING FORWARD.
THESE WAIVERS ARE IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH THE PURPOSE OF THE
WEST TAMPA OVERLAY AND ANY OTHER COMMUNITY OVERLAY.
MOBILITY HIGHLIGHTS THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY -- EXCUSE ME, ALSO
REFERENCE MUNI 27-283-12, OFF-STREET PARKING STANDARDS, AND I
QUOTE, IF THE ALLEY IS UNIMPROVED, DEVELOPER MUST IMPROVE
THE ALLEY PER DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS STANDARD, OR IF THE
ALLEY IS ALREADY ACCESSED BY OTHER PROPERTIES ON BLOCK, THAT
-- THE ALLEY MUST BE DETERMINED EXISTING CONDITION OF THE
ALLEY ABLE TO SUPPORT THE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC.
THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS MAY REQUIRE THE DEVELOPER TO
IMPROVE THE ALLEY.
NOTE THE DEVELOPER IMPROVES THE ALLEY.
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPEN.
USUALLY WE DON'T FIND OUT UNTIL AFTER THAT BEGINS.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURE ON PAGE 4, THIS ANOTHER EXAMPLE.
MOBILITY SAID THAT THE ALLEY WAS CLEAR BUT UNUSED.
IT HAD TALL GRASS.
AS SOON AS THE WAIVER WAS PASSED, THE DEVELOPER MOWED THE
ALLEY.
THE SUBS BEGAN USING THE ALLEY TO BUILD TO STAY OFF OF GRAY
STREET.
AND THEY HAD ROOM FOR ANOTHER CAR TO PASS.
IF YOU LOOK AT THAT PICTURE, THEY DECIDED IT WAS MORE
IMPORTANT TO GIVE THEM A WAIVER OF NOT PARKING ON -- ON AN
ALLY THAN FIRE HYDRANT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TWO
DRIVEWAYS THAT HAVE BEEN THERE.
WE WORKED AND WORKED AND WORKED TO GET THE DESIGN EXCEPTIONS
AND SIGNAGE TO LET COMMUNITIES KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING,
ESPECIALLY A CHANGE IN WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
THE WEST -- TAMPA OVERLAY ADMINISTRATION APPROVES IT IF IT
IS CONSISTENT WITH STATED PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THE OVERLAY.
PURPOSE AND INTENT INCLUDES DIRECT ORIENTATION.
INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THE ALLEY SUCCESSION WAS TO SHIFT THE
VEHICLE ACCESS FOR NEW HOMES TO THE ALLEY.
ALSO, PLEASE REMEMBER IF THERE IS A CONFLICT WITH THE WEST
TAMPA OVERLAY, THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY IS PREDOMINANT.
I HAVE CALLED CODE ENFORCEMENT.
I ASKED THEM TO COME AND HELP US CLEAN UP THANK ALLEY SO WE
CAN USE IT AS ALTERNATIVE SIDEWALKS.
WE HAVE ONE SIDEWALK IN ARMORY GARDENS, AND IT IS ON HABANA.
I AM WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM.
THEY WERE GOING TO SEND SOMEBODY.
I SENT THEM THE PICTURES.
I SENT THEM THE VERY WORST PICTURES BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO
MISREPRESENT WHAT NEEDED TO BE DO.
PLEASE CONSIDER DENYING THIS REZONING.
THIS WAIVER DOES NOT COMPLY FOR IS IT TRUE AND ACCURATE.
THIS IS NOT A HARDSHIP FOR THE DEVELOPER.
DENSITY IS HIGH THE MULTIFAMILY THAT THE DENSITY.
THE PD WILL SET A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.
CITY AND COUNTY STAFF FINDING IT CONSISTENT.
HOW CAN IT BE CONSISTENT IF THE REQUIRED SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT
IS NEED IS NOT THERE.
THE ARMORY GARDEN COMMUNITY SHALL NOT BE PENALIZED FOR
OVERREACH AS PART OF THIS DEVELOPER FOR THE BAD DECISIONS OF
THIS.
PLEASE DENY THIS REZONING.
I AM AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS, IF YOU HAVE ANY.
07:40:25PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK?
07:40:37PM >> PLEASE START WITH YOUR NAME.
YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.
07:40:40PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
MY NAME IS BETH COTTER AND A RESIDENT OF ARMORY GARDENS.
I'M HERE TONIGHT TO RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE MR. LASCARA'S
REQUEST TO REZONE HIS 4800-SQUARE-FOOT LOT FROM A RM-16 A
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS.
FIRST RM-16 ZONING REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF 54606 SQUARE FEET
TO BUILD A DUPLEX.
MR. LASCARA IS 660 FEET SQUARE FEET SHORT OF IT.
USING A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT SIMPLY TO SIDE STEP A BASIC
MINIMUM LOT SIZE STANDARDS UNDERMINES THE INTEGRITY OF
THE RM-16 DISTRICT AND THE PUMP OF HAVING ZONING RULES IN
FIRST PLACE.
SECOND, PLAN DEVELOPMENT IS INTEND FOR COMPLEX OR UNIQUE
SITES.
AND THIS ONE IS NOT UNIQUE.
IT HAS JUST BEEN -- NOBODY CONDITION OR UNIQUE CONDITION OR
HARDSHIP, THE LOT IS SMALLER THAN THE STANDARD FOR A DUPLEX.
PD FOR THIS REASON ALONE WILL SET THE WRONG PRECEDENT.
THIRD, IF THIS COUNCIL APPROVES A PD FOR THIS UNDERSIZED
LOT, IT WILL INVITE SIMILAR REQUESTS FROM ALL THE
OTHER RM-16 PROPERTY OWNERS.
THAT CREATES A PIECEMEAL APPROACH, WEAKENS THE CONSISTENCY
OF THE ZONING MAP, AN OPENS THE DOOR TO SPOT ZONING.
OUR COUNCIL HAS ALWAYS EMPHASIZED PREDICTABLE AND FAIR
APPLICATION OF ZONING STANDARDS.
AND THIS REQUEST RUNS COUNTER TO THAT PRINCIPLE.
FINALLY, THE APPLICANT IS NOT BEING DENIED REASONABLE USE.
RM-16 ALREADY ALLOW AS SINGLE-FAMILY HOME OR OTHER COMPLIANT
RESIDENTIAL OPTIONS.
ZONING DOES NOT PREVENT DEVELOPMENT.
IT SIMPLY ENSURES THAT NEW CONSTRUCTION ALIGNS WITH WHAT
NEIGHBORS CAN RELY ON TO UNDERSTAND WHAT CAN BE BUILT BESIDE
THEM.
FOR ALL THESE REASONS, I RESPECTFULLY URGE THE COUNCIL TO
DENY THIS ZONING REQUEST AND PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF RM-16
ZONING IN OUR COMMUNITY.
THANK YOU.
07:42:51PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYONE ELSE?
07:42:57PM >> HI, AGAIN, COUNCIL.
MATAN CLAFF.
I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING TIME TO HEAR ME.
AND I JUST WANT TO START WITH, I AM FOR THIS MOTION -- FOR
REZONING.
I FIRST MET MR. LASCARA WHEN HE CAME AND KNOCKED ON MY DOOR.
HE WAS DOING A PROJECT NEXT TO WHERE I LIVE ON FIG STREET.
AT THAT TIME, I LOOKED THROUGH THE PEEPHOLE, A GUY
PRETTY STIFF HIGH AND TIGHT HAIRCUT.
WHO IS THIS GUY SHOWING UP TO MY HOUSE?
I GUESS AT THAT TIME HE WAS SERVING OUR COUNTRY AS A NAVY
SEAL.
A FEW YEARS BACK.
AND HE SAT ME DOWN AND LET ME KNOW, HEY, THIS IS WHAT WE ARE
DOING IN NEIGHBORHOOD.
I AM GOING DOOR TO DOOR JUST TO INTRODUCE MYSELF.
DO YOU HAVE ANY CONFLICTS OR -- ISSUES WITH THIS, AND CAN I
ADDRESS THAT DIRECTLY?
I APPRECIATE THAT.
I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND FULLY WHAT HE WAS DOING, BUT AS HE SAT
ME DOWN, I REALLY UNDERSTOOD.
WHY THIS ONE IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.
MY DAUGHTER'S MOM, KYRA RIVERA, SHE LIVES -- SHE LIVES --
SHE LIVES -- SORRY, SHE LIVES NEXT TO THE PARK, NOT TOO FAR.
SO WE AS MY CO-PARENT, WE TAKE MY DAUGHTER, ADIYA TO THE
PARK AND I PLAY PICKLEBALL AT THE COURTS THERE.
AND WE ARE ABOUT TO SIGN HER UP FOR SWIM LESSONS AT THE JCC.
SO I THAT NO ONLY THE STAFF AS SAID IS REALLY CONSISTENT
WITH THE FINDINGS, BUT ADDING DENSITY TO THESE NEIGHBORHOODS
WITH SPOTS NEAR THE JCC AND THE SPOT AND OTHER AMENITY IS
ONLY HELPING WALKABILITY WHICH IN MY OPINION -- SORRY -- IN
MY OPINION, IT IS IN LINE WITH CITY OF TAMPA'S GROWTH.
AND I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS LISTENING AND HEARING ME.
THANK YOU.
SORRY, I AM A NERVOUS SPEAKER IN FRONT OF THE CROWD.
07:44:51PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YOU DID A GREAT JOB.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK?
OKAY.
REBUTTAL.
07:44:58PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
JAMES LASCARA.
I GUESS I AM A LITTLE BIT CONFUSED WITH -- I AM PERPLEXED
HONESTLY.
WE DO TWO ROUNDS OF NOTICE.
WE DID GET OUR NOTICES ACCEPTED.
THIS IS THE SITE TODAY.
I THINK THERE WAS -- I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS ABLE TO BE
SEEN.
BUT I THINK THERE WAS DISCUSSION OF NOT RECEIVING NOTICES.
WE COMPLY WITH ALL OUR NOTICES.
WE DO NOT MISS ANY NOTICES.
THAT WAS ACCEPTED BY -- BY THE CLERK.
YOU KNOW, WE MEET WITH THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
WE NIGHT WITH THE STREET.
WE MEET WITH THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE MOST AFFECTED
BY THIS.
AND THE ONES MARKED IN GREEN SUPPORT IT.
WE RECEIVED NO OPPOSITION.
I AM JUST A BIT SURPRISED TO HEAR THIS EVENING.
I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE ALLEY.
WE DO HAVE ALLEYS BEFORE.
2711 WEST STATE STREET, 1318 WEST ARCH STREET, 1112 WEST
LaSALLE.
ALL PROPERTIES IN WEST TAMPA OVERLAY WITH SIMILAR PLANS
WHERE IS WESTERN USING THE ALLEY.
WE ARE RELIANT ON STAFF.
I THINK THIS HE DO A GREAT JOB OPINION BUT WE ARE RELIANT ON
STAFF FOR THAT FINDING.
AND -- IN A SITUATION WHERE WE HAVE TO MAKE A DETERMINATION,
WE ARE RELIANT ON STAFF'S FINDING TO GIVE US THAT
INFORMATION IN COMPLIANCE WITH CODE.
I JUST WANT TO READ CITY OF TAMPA CODE 27-241.E2-C-51 THAT
GOVERNS ALLEYS.
WHAT I AM REQUIRED TO ABIDE BY WHEN WE ARE CONSIDERING HOW
WE ARE GOING TO DEVELOP IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
IF AN EXISTING LOT IS ADJACENT TO AN OPEN AND USED PUBLIC
ALLEY, VEHICULAR ACCESS WILL BE PROVIDED FROM THE ALLEY AS A
PRIMARY VEHICULAR ACCESS POINT PROVIDING IT MEETS THE MINUTE
MONEY STANDARDS.
TO MAKE THAT ULTIMATE DETERMINATION, I AM RELYING ON
STAFF.
I AM NOT ABLE TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION ON MY OWN.
I HAVE MY OPINION, BUT I AM RELYING ON STAFF.
AND I HAVE AN E-MAIL FROM THE TRANSPORTATION REPRESENTATIVE
SAYING IN FEBRUARY, BASED ON THE FIELD VISIT OF THE ALLEY IN
FEBRUARY, THEY DO NOT FIND THAT THE ALLEY MEETS THE CRITERIA
FOR AN OPEN AND USED PUBLIC ALLEY.
I WANT TO PROVIDE SOME PHOTOS OF THE ALLEY.
THAT IS ONE SET OF PHOTOS.
I AM SCRATCHING MY HEAD HERE UNDERSTANDING HOW WE CAN CALL
THIS USED.
IN AREAS OF ALLEY BETWEEN UTILITY EQUIPMENT, TREES, BRUSH,
SHRUBBERY, FENCE ENCROACHMENTS, AND OVERGROWTH.
BETWEEN ALL OF THAT, THERE ARE AREAS THAT HAVE LESS THAN
SEVEN FEET OF CLEARANCE.
FROM WHAT EXISTS NOW.
HERE IS ANOTHER SET OF PHOTOS.
AGAIN, I AM STRUGGLING TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE CAN CALL THIS
OPEN AND USE.
WHICH IS WHAT CODE PRESCRIBES.
LASTLY, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT -- I THINK SAFETY IS A REALLY
IMPORTANT THING WHEN WE CONSIDER DEVELOPMENTS.
I WANT TO TALK COUNTRY SAFETY CONCERNS.
SO WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS AN APPROVED PD ON THE CORNER FOR
MEDICAL OFFICE USE.
IF WE ARE FORCED TO USE THE ALLEY, THEN WE ARE GOING TO BE
PUT IN A SITUATION WHERE THE -- THE ONE-WAY TRAFFIC
TRAVELING SOUTH DOWN ARMENIA, THE PERSON COMING -- VEHICLE B
COMING OUT YOU HAVE ALLEY WILL HAVE 100 FEES OF VISIBILITY.
STREET PARKING THERE.
SETBACK OF THAT BUILDING IS ONLY NINE FEET.
40-MILE-PER-HOUR ZONE.
40-MILE-PER-HOUR IS EQUAL TO 58.7 FEET PER SECOND.
I LOOKED THIS UP FROM THE DRIVER RESEARCH INSTITUTE.
RESPONSE TIME FOR A DRIVER FOR A SIDE ROAD INTRUSION FROM A
VEHICLE STARTING FROM THE STOP IS 1.73 SECONDS.
VEHICLE A, BY THE TIME THEY SEE VEHICLE B PULL OUT OF THE
ALLEY, NOT A VEHICLE THAT COULD STOP.
THEY ARE GOING TO THEM.
IT WILL CAUSE A TRAFFIC SAFETY CONCERN.
VEHICLE B WILL PULL OUT NOT KNOWING THAT VEHICLE A.
100 FEET OF VISIBILITY.
VEHICLE B CANNOT SEE IT AND VEHICLE A CANNOT STOP IN TIME
OBSERVING VEHICLE B.
ANOTHER REASON WHY I THINK THAT USING ALLEY IS SAFE,
APPLICABLE, CONSISTENT OR SMART.
SAME SITUATION QUESTION SEE FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS TURNING
INTO THE ALLEY FROM ARMENIA.
IT IS JUST AN UNSAFE SITUATION.
ACROSS BOARD, STAFF FINDING WAS CONSISTENT, HAD OVERWHELMING
AMOUNT OF NEIGHBORHOOD SUPPORT COMING INTO THIS.
I NOTICED ON THE NICE LADY'S PRESENTATION, I NOTICED THAT
SHE REFERENCE SOMETHING BUILDER GRADE.
WE TRY OUR BEST TO COMPLY WITH THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
URBAN DESIGN REVIEW IT AND AGREED, CONFIRMED IT WAS
CONSISTENT, AND HERE IS THE CONSENSUAL RENDERING THAT
APPLIES WITH ALL OF THE WEST TAMPA GUIDELINES.
I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU.
07:50:10PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR MR. SCOTT.
ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG.
NO, I AM CHAIRING, SO I ALWAYS FORGET.
GO RIGHT AHEAD.
07:50:22PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
I JUST WANTED TO -- STAFF.
THAT IS WHERE WE ARE ASKING NOW.
07:50:29PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.
07:50:31PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
HI, COULD YOU JUST SPEAK TO THE ALLEY.
07:50:36PM >> DO YOU WANT DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION?
07:50:44PM >>JONATHAN SCOTT:
JONATHAN SCOTT, MOBILITY.
WE WERE IN SUPPORT OF WAIVER SINCE I HAD THE OPINION THAT IT
WAS -- THE ALLEY WAS OPEN BUT NOT USED.
IT IS BASED ON THE EVIDENCE AT THE TIME OF OUR -- OUR
INSPECTION OF IT, WHICH WAS IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR.
SO I PROVIDE THIS EVIDENCE THAT I TOOK WHEN I WAS OUT THERE.
YOU CAN SEE IT IS PRETTY OVERGROWN.
THERE IS ALL KINDS OF DEBRIS IN IT.
THERE IS PAVEMENT IN THERE, AND IT IS OPEN, BUT NOT PART
EVER THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
YOU KNOW, WHOLE THING WHERE -- WHERE THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT
USED IN THE PAST.
I AM SURE IT WAS USED AT ONE TIME IN THE PAST, BUT TO SAY
THAT IS PARTS OF THAT DEFINITION.
WE DON'T LOOK AT THAT.
I WAS DIRECTED TO LOOK AT IT AT THE TIME OF WE LOOK AT --
THAT IS HOW WE HAVE TO LOOK ON IT.
BECAUSE IT PROBABLY WAS USED AT SOME POINT IN THE PAST, YOU
KNOW.
BUT THAT IS THE -- THAT IS HOW IT CAME TO THAT OPINION, BUT
I HIGHLY RESPECT NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEIR OPINION TOO.
SO IF THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION.
07:52:02PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
YES.
SO I -- JUST TO CONFIRM.
SO THE PICTURES THAT WERE PROVIDED, WILL THAT BE THE SAME
ALLEY THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT HERE.
07:52:11PM >>JONATHAN SCOTT:
THAT'S CORRECT.
07:52:12PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
07:52:14PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
IF I CAN JUST ADD.
CHRIS DEMANCHE, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
I WAS ACTUALLY AT THE SITE.
I WALKED THE ALLEY FROM ONE SIDE OF BLOCK TO THE OTHER.
OF COURSE I TOOK PICTURES AS WELL.
OTHER THING I WOULD NOTE, TOO, AS YOU WALK DOWN THIS
ALLEYWAY, THERE IS FENCING BEHIND EACH OF ITS HOMES.
SO, YOU KNOW, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE PD ZONED PROPERTY AT
THE END OF THE BLOCK, I DON'T RECALL ANY OTHER LOTS THAT DID
NOT HAVE FENCING ALIGNING THE ALLEYWAY.
WOULD YOU SEE AN OCCASIONAL GATE ON THE FENCING, BUT IT WAS
BASICALLY CHAIN-LINK, WOOD AND PVC FENCING AS YOU WALK DOWN
THAT ALLEYWAY.
THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT BRUSH.
THERE WERE SOME TREES THAT ARE ADJACENT TO THAT ALLEYWAY.
I WILL SAY THERE WAS A NEIGHBORHOOD ENHANCEMENT TEAM OUT
THERE.
THEY ARE IN SOME OF THE PHOTOS.
YOU CAN SEE THEM IN THE DISTANCE.
I CAN ADD THEM TO THE RECORD, BUT I ASKED THEM ABOUT THAT.
AND I WAS TOLD THAT ONCE A YEAR, THEY GO OUT THERE.
THEY REMOVE DEBRIS, TRASH, AND THEN THEY GO THROUGH WITH THE
MOWERS.
BUT AS YOU WALK THROUGH THAT ALLEYWAY, THERE ARE AREAS WHERE
THERE IS SIGNIFICANT VEGETATION AND GROWTH THERE WHERE YOU
ARE NOT EVEN SEEING, YOU KNOW, THE PAVEMENT.
YOU CAN SEE IT ON THE ENCORE LOT 12 MAINLY, BUT AS YOU ARE
WALKING THROUGH, IT IS HEAVILY VEGETATED.
07:53:44PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
ANYONE ELSE?
07:53:51PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I CAN JUST SAY THIS.
I MOVED TO WEST TAMPA IN 1968, AND NOW I AM QUESTIONING
MYSELF.
AM I IN VIOLATION.
BECAUSE IN 1968, WHEN I BOUGHT THAT HOUSE, IN FACT YOUR
GRANDFATHER LIVED BEHIND ME.
07:54:03PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
1972.
07:54:05PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
MOVED IN '76.
I WAS THERE SINCE '68.
WE SHARED THE SAME CHAIN-LINK FENCE.
YOU DIDN'T KNOW IF THERE WAS AN ALLY THERE.
WHEN I GOT THERE WASN'T AN ALLEY.
I DON'T KNOW IF A YEAR BEFORE ME.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I AM IN VIOLATION NOW FROM 1968.
I AM TELLING YOU THE TRUTH.
SO WEST TAMPA IS A HODGEPODGE OF ALLEYS, ALL YOU HAVE IT.
SOME ARE 12 FEET.
SOME ARE SIX FEET.
SOME HAVE BIG TREES IN CENTER.
AND SOME HAVE NO TREES IN CENTER.
AND SOME YOU CAN'T SEE THROUGH THEM.
SO WHAT -- I REALLY WANT TO FIX IS THIS ALLEY SITUATION.
I KNOW CITY HAS DONE AN ALLY STUDY BEFORE SOMEWHERE.
BUT I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, WHAT IS IT THAT WE ARE
LOOKING AT?
WHAT IS IT THAT WE NEED?
BECAUSE THESE ALLEY -- I WAS GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME AND
MEASURE EVERY ALLEY IN WEST TAMPA.
I JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME.
I DON'T HAVE TIME.
I STILL MAY DO IT BECAUSE SOMETHING IN MY MINDS TO CLEAR OUT
PITCH UNDER UNDERSTAND ITS NEIGHBORHOOD AND I AM JUST AS
CONFUSED AS I WAS WHEN I MOVED TO WEST TAMPA NOW.
AND YBOR CITY IT WAS ALLEYS.
KNOW WHAT IT WAS USED FOR, ITS GARBAGE WAS PICKED UP THERE.
AND THEY HAD FOUR PEOPLE IN THE TRUCK.
ONE DRIVER, ONE CATCHER, AND ONE THROWER FROM EACH SIDE AND
THAT'S IT AND IT WAS OPEN.
THAT WAS REAL NICE NOW IT IS AUTOMATE.
MUCH MORE ADVANCED.
THESE ARE THINGS THAT I GOT TO FIGURE OUT FOR MYSELF BECAUSE
IT HAS BEEN BUGGING THE HELL OUT YOU HAVE ME.
THAT'S IT.
07:55:42PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
07:55:43PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
MOTION TO CLOSE.
07:55:46PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANYTHING ELSE, BECAUSE I KNOW THE APPLICANT
GETS THE LAST WORD.
07:55:52PM >> JAMES LASCARA.
I WANT TO MENTION ONE THING ABOUT THE ALLEY, THE NICE LADY
SAID WE DEVELOPED 2711 WEST STATE STREET.
I THINK WE -- I THINK WE NEED TO BE REALISTIC ABOUT WHAT
REALLY HAPPENS WHEN FORCE OWNERS TO USE THE ALLEY WHEN THEY
ARE NOT WELL-KEPT.
NOT WELL-KEPT BY NEIGHBORS.
NOT WELL-KEPT BY THE CITY.
WE CAN SAY, WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IS IT.
WE HAVE TO FACE REALITY.
WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT IS A FINISHED UNIT OF OURS AFTER IT
WAS SOLD.
I THINK THIS WAS TAKEN ABOUT A YEAR AFTER IT WAS SOLD.
WHAT YOU WILL NOTICE IS, WHY IS THE GRASS DEAD RIGHT THERE.
REASON THE RASS IS DEAD BECAUSE THEY PARK -- THAT OWNER PARKS
THEIR CARS IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY BECAUSE GETTING -- GETTING
ACCESS TO THE REAR PARKING THAT IS FACING THE ALLEYWAY IS
TOO CUMBERSOME BASE ON HOW MUCH IT IS OVERGROWN AND JUST NOT
KEPT UP WITH.
SCRATCH THEIR VEHICLES PULLING THROUGH THE ALLEY SO THEY GO
TO THE NEXT MOST AVAILABLE THING.
WE ACTUALLY SEE THIS QUITE A LOT.
I LIVE IN WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
YOU SEE THIS QUITE A LOT.
PEOPLE PARKING IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
AND WHEN WE ARE FORCING DEVELOPERS TO USE ALLEY.
WE CAN DO IT, RIGHT, IT IS POSSIBLE TO PUT A GARAGE.
POSSIBLE TO PUT A DRIVEWAY OUT BACK.
AND THEN WE HAVE THIS.
AND I JUST THINK THIS IS A -- THIS IS -- THIS IS A BLOCK
AWAY FROM THE PROPOSE SITE.
2711 WEST STATE STREET, AND THE SITE THAT I AM REFERENCING
IS 2414.
SO I THINK WE NEED TO FACE REALITY WITH THIS -- WITH THESE
ALLEY CHALLENGES.
AND THIS IS NOT REALLY WHAT I WANT TO SEE IN THE COMMUNITY,
PEOPLE PARK IN THE FRONT.
ONCE THERE IS A NEW OWNER, THAT -- THEY ARE GOING TO DO WHAT
WE ARE ABLE TO DO.
I DON'T THINK ALLEY USE IN THIS -- IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE IS
WAR RANKED.
I DON'T.
07:57:43PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
07:57:47PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
MOTION TO CLOSE.
07:57:48PM >>LYNN HURTAK:

08:01:02PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
CAN YOU ANNOUNCE THE VOTE, AND I ACTUALLY DO
WANT TO ASK THE APPLICANT AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE AVAILABLE
THAT DAY.
08:01:07PM >>CLERK:

SO IT WAS YOUNG, MANISCALCO, AND HURTAK VOTED YES.
AND CARLSON AND MIRANDA VOTED NO WITH VIERA BEING ABSENT AT

08:01:27PM >>LYNN HURTAK:

THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND IT HAD TO BE SENT TO TALLAHASSEE.
AND THEY LOOK OVER AND SEE WHAT WE CAN AND CANNOT DO.
SO TA-CPA CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT, RECREATION/OPEN SPACE, SOLID
WASTE AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL DEFINITIONS.
24-05 HAD IF FUTURE LAND USE.
AND 24-06 IS THE COASTAL MANAGEMENT SECTION OPINION.
08:04:06PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
08:04:08PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I E-MAILED PLANNING COMMISSION BACK, AND SAID
CAN YOU GIVE US YOUR ANALYSIS OF THIS AND WHY THEY DID IT.
AND MR. O'NEAL SAID IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO DO IT.
I WOULD RATHER HAVE COME AND REPORT ON THAT BEFORE WE DO
THIS.
BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE PUBLIC TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
I THINK DOCUMENTS THEY SENT OVER WERE INSUFFICIENT.
08:04:32PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
POINT IS, WE CAN'T HAVE HEARING.
08:04:35PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THAT IS IT FINE.
I THINK WE SHOULD DELAY THE HEARING.
08:04:39PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THAT'S WHAT THIS IS.
08:04:41PM >>BILL CARLSON:
WHAT I WANT TO DO IS HAVE -- YOUR
RESCHEDULING IT, RIGHT.
08:04:48PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
SO THE MOTION WAS TO REMOVE THOSE -- THOSE
THREE FROM THE PUBLIC HEARING.
SO TO NOT EVEN DISCUSS IT.
08:04:56PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I WOULD RATHER HEAR FROM THEM AS TO WHAT
HAPPENED WITH THESE BEFORE WE -- THERE IS SO MUCH CRAZY
POLITICS HAPPENING BETWEEN THE CITY AND PLANNING COMMISSION,
THAT I THINK THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO HEAR WHAT HAPPENED ON THESE
BEFORE WE HAVE A HEARING.
WE SHOULD NOT ARBITRARILY SPEAK TO THAT.
08:05:15PM >>DANNY COLLINS:
DANNY COLLINS WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF.
THIS MOTION IS TO REMOVE THESE AMENDMENTS.
24-04, 24-05 AND 24-06 AND 25-06 FROM THE MAY 28 AGENDA.
AS IT STANDS NOW, THOSE APPLICATION CAN'T MOVE FORWARD.
WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING THROUGH A RESPONSE TO THE STATE IN
THEIR LETTER.
SO STAY TUNED WITH THAT.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO -- WOULD LIKE US TO APPEAR, WE CAN
CERTAINLY ACCOMMODATE THAT.
PROBABLY WOULD HAVE TO BE A SEPARATE MOTION, I WOULD THINK.
08:05:52PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WOULD THAT WORK FOR HER TO TAKE IT OFF AND
MAKE A MOTION TO HAVE THEM COME AT THAT TIME ANYWAY.
08:05:58PM >>BILL CARLSON:
AS LONG AS --
08:06:01PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
I GET THAT.
JUST TO EXPLAIN WHY IT IS BEING --
08:06:04PM >>BILL CARLSON:
MY THING IS THAT WE KEEP HEARING THAT WE
HAVE TO RUSH THIS BECAUSE THE STATE -- BECAUSE WE ARE OUT
YOU HAVE BOUNDS WITH THE STATE, BUT I -- BUT THIS IS SO
POLITICAL.
SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT.
I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD RUSH ANYTHING.
IF WE HEAR IT -- IF WE HEAR THE ANALYSIS BEFORE MAY 28, THEN
I THINK WE SHOULD RESERVE RIGHT TO CANCEL THAT HEARING OR
MOVE IT FARTHER IN THE FUTURE.
08:06:27PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WE ARE CANCELLING IT.
THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT.
08:06:30PM >>BILL CARLSON:
HE SAID YOU ARE JUST TAKING THE WHOLE THING
OFF.
08:06:33PM >>DANNY COLLINS:
REMOVING THEM FROM AGENDA.
08:06:36PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
MOTION TO REMOVE TA/CPA 24-04, 05 AND 06 TO
THE MAY 28 MEETING.
08:06:45PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
MAY I BE HEARD, MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL
ATTORNEY.
THEY HAVE TO BE ALSO -- IT HAS TO BE RESET OBVIOUSLY
SOMEWHERE DOWN LINE.
AND IT HAS TO BE PROPERLY NOTICED AND GO THROUGH THE
PROCESS.
WHAT THIS DOES IS THIS STOPS THE PROCESS OF WHAT HAS TO BE
SET FOR THE NOTICE.
08:07:04PM >>BILL CARLSON:
YOU GUYS MAY CORRECT ME, WE ARE REMOVING
THESE AND NOTHING ELSE BEING PRESENTED.
08:07:13PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
NOTHING ELSE BEING PRESENTED.
08:07:15PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THEY CAN'T GO FORWARD UNTIL THEY FIGURE OUT
WHY THE STATE SAID NO.
08:07:19PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I THOUGHT THEY WERE REMOVING THREE THINGS
FROM A LONGER LIST.
IF THIS IS THE TOTAL LIST.
08:07:26PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
SORRY TO INTERRUPT, IF YOU LOOK AT THE
CALENDAR, COUNCILMAN CARLSON, AT THE BOTTOM OF PAGE MAY 28,
AN ADOPTION HEARING SECTION FOR NIGHT OF EVENING SESSION OF
MAY 28.
THOSE ARE TO REMOVE THOSE SO THEY WILL NOT BE NOTICED AND
ANYTHING HEARD RELATIVE TO THIS ITEM.
08:07:45PM >>BILL CARLSON:
SORRY FOR CONFUSION.
08:07:47PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
UNTIL IT IS BROMELIAD BROUGHT BACK AT SUCH
TIME BY PLANNING COMMISSION.
08:07:53PM >>DANNY COLLINS:
WE WILL HAVE THE ADOPTION HEARINGS IN
FUTURE.
RIGHT NOW WE ARE WORKING FOR OUR RESPONSE OF DRC.
08:08:06PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER YOUNG.
A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
OPPOSED.
CAN WE ASK THAT ONCE YOU HAVE AN IDEA, THAT YOU TRY TO SET
SOMETHING ON ONE OF OUR AGENDAS, EVEN DURING A REGULAR
COUNCIL SESSION AN JUST KIND OF EXPLAIN IT TO THE PUBLIC.
08:08:25PM >>DANNY COLLINS:
YEAH, DEFINITELY WE CAN DO THAT.
I DON'T HAVE A DATE RIGHT NOW.
08:08:30PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
NO, NO, NO.
I AM JUST SAYING REACH OUT TO US WHEN YOU ARE AFFIDAVIT THAT

THEY LET THE EGGS GO.
I THOUGHT THERE IS A LOT OF EGGS.
DONE IN FIVE MINUTES.
TALKING TO A PARENT AND I LOOKED BACK AND ALL EGGS WERE
GONE.
BUT IT WAS VERY NICE.
IT WAS VERY, VERY CUTE.
I ALSO -- I ATTENDED THE TAMPA BAY BLACK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND FREE BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS AND
OPPORTUNITIES WITH INFORMATION FOR SMALL BUSINESSES.
I WAS ON A CONFERENCE CALL WITH THE HOMELESS COMMITTEE.
I THINK YOU REMEMBER TWO MEETINGS AGO.
A GENTLEMAN THAT CAME -- HE LIVED IN HIGHLAND PINES.
I HAD A MEETING WITH THEM.
WELL, WE ALL WERE THERE, BUT WE PUT OUR SIGNATURE ON THE
EXPANSION PROJECT FOR THE STRAZ CENTER.
THAT WAS REALLY FUN.
I ALSO ATTENDED A EAST TAMPA C AC MEETING WHICH IS GOOD.
SAW COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
WE SENT TO THE CIP, SMILE AND AUTISM EVENT.
I STARTED TO HAVE SOME MEETING WITH USF RECORDING ADDITIONAL
INTERNSHIP HAVING INTERNS IN MY OFFICE THROUGH THE YEAR.
I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.
WE WERE ALL AT TAMPA HOPE ADDING 100 NEW COTTAGES, AND MY
FIRST TIME SEEING THAT SPACE, AND IT WAS VERY NICE.
08:10:25PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ISN'T THAT AMAZING.
08:10:26PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
SORRY, MARTIN SHELBY, STATE ATTORNEY.
I WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON YOUR TOWN HALL AT FAIR OAKS.

08:13:27PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THAT'S IT.
08:13:28PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
SINCE VIERA IS NOT HERE, I HAVE THREE OF
THEM.
ONE, I WOULD LIKE A RECOMMENDATION -- A COMMENDATION -- NO A
RECOMMENDATION BUT COMMENDATION OF THREE INDIVIDUALS WHO
HAVE SUCCEEDS IN BUSINESS OF BEING JOCKEYS.
AND LIVED IN TAMPA ONE TIME.
AND ONE STILL LIVES IN TAMPA, RAMON PEREZ, AND HE WON 2700
RACES.
THAT IS A LONG CAREER.
NEXT ONE WON 3200 RACES, AND HIS NAME ROBERTO RIVERA,
JR., AND THIRD ONE WON 3700 RACES, ABOUT $88 MILLION IN EARNINGS
INCLUDING SIX GRADE ONES AND 32 GRADE TWOS, AND ONE TIME HE
LIVED JUST BEHIND ON HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE ON OTHER SIDE BY
POST OFFICE THAT IS ON HILLSBOROUGH AND THE FIRE STATION
RIGHT BEHIND THERE.
HE LIVED IN TAMPA FOR A WHILE.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THIS, IF POSSIBLE ON MAY 1.
I WILL GIVE IT TO THE CLERK'S OFFICE BECAUSE MY AIDE NOT
HERE TODAY AT NIGHT.
08:14:26PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THE RAMON THAT I KNOW.
08:14:29PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YOU HAVE TO HAD KNOWN MY COUSIN, BILL HURTAK.
08:14:36PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
HE AND I WORKED TOGETHER.
HE DIDN'T LIKE TO BE CALLED BILL OR WILLIE.
HE HATE WILLIE.
I USED TO HARASS HIM.
08:14:45PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I HAVE ANOTHER COUSIN --
08:14:47PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS YOUR COUSIN.
08:14:50PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YEAH, THEN I HAVE OTHER COUSINS THAT WORK AT
THE RACETRACK DOWN IN HIALEAH, THAT MANAGE HORSES.
08:14:58PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THIS IS WHY I MARRIED A WOMAN FROM
VIRGINIA BECAUSE EVERYBODY KNOWS EVERYBODY AROUND HERE.
08:15:04PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU.
YOU GO TO WEST VIRGINIA, EVERYBODY KNOWS EACH OTHER IN WEST
VIRGINIA.
08:15:09PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IT IS FUNNY BECAUSE YOU GO ANYWHERE IN MIAMI.
I WENT TO SOME RANDOM PLACE AND SOMEONE WAS LIKE, HURTAK,
ARE YOU RELATED TO DANNY.
DANNY HURTAK IS MY COUSIN DOWN IN HIALEAH THAT WORKS --
ANYWAY.
I HAVE A MOTION TO -- TO GIVE THREE COMMENDATIONS.
AND WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN --
08:15:35PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
HURTAK.
08:15:36PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
MAY 21.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
ANY OPPOSED?
08:15:46PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
AND I WILL GIVE YOU THESE IN THE MORNING.
SECOND, IF YOU GO AND APPLY FOR REMODELING OF A HOUSE,
SAY I WANT TO REMODEL TWO BEDROOMS, THAT, THAT AND OTHER AN
GET A PERMIT.
A NEIGHBOR COMES TO SEE ME ON THE OTHER SIDE AND SAID,
CHARLIE, THAT HOUSE HAS ABOUT EIGHT BEDROOMS.
THEY REMODELED.
I DIDN'T GO IN THE HOUSE, BUT I SAW HOUSE CHANGE COMPLETELY.
THEY CLOSE IN THE GARAGE DOOR.
CLOSED ITS DOORS AND DO THIS, THAT AND OTHER.
WHAT I AM TOLD THAT IT HAS BEDROOMS THAT ARE SPLIT NOW AND
GOING TO REN THEM OUT BY THE WEEK IN A RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MAKES HOUSE ANY DIFFERENT, BETTER OR
NOT WORE.
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT WHAT CAN BE DONE AT THE TIME OF
PERMITTING AND WANT TO REMODEL MY TWO BEDROOMS AND WHATEVER.
YOU GOT TO GO IN AND IN THE THEM, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY
DON'T MAKE IT A MOTEL.
THAT IS WHAT I AM SAYING.
08:16:44PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WHAT IS YOUR MOTION?
08:16:46PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I DON'T KNOW YET.
08:16:47PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WHY DON'T YOU TALK TO STAFF.
BUT I AGREE.
I HAVE SEEN THE SAME THING.
08:16:52PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THEM AT LEAST.
I JUST WANT TO BRING THAT ONE UP TO US.
NEXT ONE ARE THE ALLEYS.
08:16:58PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I ACTUALLY HAVE A SIMILAR STORY.
WHEN I WAS -- I DID A RIDE-ALONG WITH -- WITH FIRE RESCUE.
THIS WAS BACK WHEN I COULD.
AND THEY -- WE WENT ON TO A THANK HAD -- IT WAS SUBDIVIDED.
WOULD YOU HAVE HAD NO IDEA.
YOU WALKED IN AND THERE ARE NUMBERS ON THE DOORS.
IT WAS WILD.
08:17:17PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING ELSE.
I GUARANTEE YOU THERE ARE HUNDREDS.
HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS.
08:17:25PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I NEVER SEEN THAT.
08:17:27PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
DO NOT ARE RENTAL CERTIFICATES AND NO
HIGH TAX.
NO INCOME TAX.
YOU RENT A PROPERTY AND PAY 22% TO THE FEDS AND YOU PAY TO
THE CITY.
IF IT IS $1,000, YOU PAY THE CITY ABOUT 3500 OR THEREABOUTS.
THAT IS A DAY FOR ANOTHER STORY.
THAT TO BE LOOKED AT.
AND THEN ALLEYS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MEASURE ALLEYS.
I HAVE A TAPE MEASURE.
I AM GOING TO GO OVER WEST TAMPA MEASURING ALLEYS.
SOMEONE HAS TO LOOK AT ALLEY, BECAUSE ONE SIZE SHOE DOESN'T
FIT EVERYBODY.
08:18:05PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, WE NEED
STANDARDS FOR ALLEY USES BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE
THEM.
APPARENTLY, WE DON'T HAVE MEASURABLE ONES.
08:18:15PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
PASSABLE.
SOME HAVE BIG OAK TREES.
08:18:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
08:18:19PM >>BILL CARLSON:
IN THE CRA, DIDN'T WE PUT UP A FUND --
08:18:24PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
NOT ALL YOU HAVE WEST TAMPA IS IN CRA.
08:18:27PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SOME OF WEST TAMPA IS IN THE CRA.
THAT WAS -- THE IDEA FOR THAT WILL BE A PILOT PROGRAM AND WE
MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO IT IN OTHER PLACE.
BUT NEVER WENT TO SECOND STEP WHICH IS WHAT -- WHAT REALLY
SHOULD BE THE STANDARD AND WHAT ARE -- SO I THINK THAT
SHOULD BE PART OF LAND DEVELOPMENT COLD AS WE GO FORWARD.
MISS WELLS, THEIR -- THAT IS AN APPROPRIATE PLACE TO PUT
THAT, RIGHT?
YOU CAN JUST THUMBS UP OR THUMBS DOWN.
OKAY.
08:18:54PM >>CATE WELLS:
WELL, CATE WELLS WITH THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
I WILL WORK WITH STAFF TO SEE IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT
SHOULD BE IN CHAPTER 27 OR IN THE TRANSMIT THE CODE.
08:19:03PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.
BECAUSE OF THE LDC, YOU ARE RIGHT.
WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT SOME STANDARDS SO WE ARE NOT HERE
CONSTANTLY ASKING -- AND UNFORTUNATELY, THE DEVELOPER HAD
THEM E-MAILED.
LIKE WITH STAFF SAYING IT WAS UNUSABLE.
SO ANYWAY.
ANYTHING ELSE?
YEAH?
08:19:24PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
I WAS GOING TO ASK.
DO WE HAVE ANYTHING -- OR HAVE WE DONE A STUDY JUST TO SEE
WHAT ALLEYS WE CAN ACTUALLY USE OR WHAT CAN'T BE USED?
08:19:36PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THAT WAS WEST TAMPA CRA STUDY.
08:19:40PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
ONLY PART OF WEST TAMPA.
08:19:44PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
AGAIN, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A PILOT.
YOU REMEMBER 350000, SORE WANT CHEAP.
08:19:52PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
A LEAST THAT AREA WE KNOW ALLEY -- HURTAK
HORIZON I RECOMMEND ASKING CEDRIC FOR A COPY OF THAT REPORT.
AS A GREAT REPORT, AND GIVE YOU IDEAS WHAT CAN AND CANNOT
USED.
I CAN THERE IS A COUPLE OF PROJECT THEY ARE DOING TO
ACTIVATE SOME OF THE ALLEYS.
THAT MAY BE A GOOD WAY FOR YOU TO -- CAN I HAND GAVEL TO
YOU.
08:20:16PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
OKAY.
08:20:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SO I HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS.
OH, SHE JUST PUT THE SECOND ONE ON HERE.
SO HILLSBOROUGH SCHOOL BOARD VOTED ON TUESDAY, APRIL 7, 2026
TO CHANGE SULFUR SPRINGS K-8 TO K-5 AND MOVE TO THE 8th
GRADE TO SURROUNDING MIDDLE SCHOOLS BEGINNING IN THE
2028-'28.
PSA EXPRESSED CONCERN OF LACK OF SAFE ROUTE TO THE MIDDLE
SCHOOLS.
THEY SAID THEY WILL REACH OUT TO CITY STAFF TO TALK ABOUT
SIDEWALKS.
I ASK THAT MOBILITY STAFF REACH OUT TO HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY
PUBLIC SCHOOL OF CREATING SAFE ROUTES BY FILLING SIDEWALK
GAPS.
PLEASE PROVIDE A WRITTEN REPORT ON 6/18/26 TO INCLUDE A MAP
OF CURRENT GAPS, PROJECTED TIMELINE FOR COMPLETION AND
ESTIMATED BUDGET NEED.
08:21:12PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
A MOTION FROM CHAIR PRO TEM HURTAK AND
SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
OPPOSED.
08:21:20PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I THINK WE DID A VERSION OF THIS SEVERAL
YEARS AGO.
IT DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE, BUT THEY PROBABLY HAVE THAT THAT THEY
CAN PULL OFF SHELF.
08:21:30PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
LOOKING FOR THIS SPECIFIC SCHOOL TO GO FROM
SULFUR SPRINGS TO WHATEVER PICK --
08:21:38PM >>BILL CARLSON:
WE HAVE A PROBLEM THAT LOTS OF SCHOOLS DON'T
HAVE SIDEWALKS.
WITH A LOT OF THINGS, WE NEED ADMINISTRATION TORSION
IMPLEMENT THEM.
08:21:47PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
WHAT'S NEXT.
08:21:49PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
NOW I DID WHAT I SAID I WAS GOING TO DO AT
THE CRA.
I FIGURED OUT A DATE FOR THE RAYS MOU WORKSHOP.
BEST DATE WE COULD HAVE IS MAY 5.
IT HAS BEEN CLEARED WITH THE CONVENTION CENTER, CLERK'S OFFICE,
AND CCTV.
IT IS AVAILABLE.
WE CAN HAVE IT AT THE CONVENTION CENTER AT THAT DATE.
THAT IS THE WHOLE REASON WE ARE TRYING TO HAVE THIS
CONVERSATION CONTINUED.
SO I HAVE SEVERAL QUESTIONS THAT MISS SHARP PREPARED.
START TIME.
IS 5:00 TOO EARLY?
IS 5:00 FINE.
SHOULD IT BE 6:00.
WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK.
08:22:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
5:00 IS FINE.
08:22:36PM >>BILL CARLSON:
WE USED TO DO 6:00.
BUT PEOPLE ARE USED TO 5.
08:22:41PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SO 5 P.M. WORKSHOP AGENDA.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER TALKING ABOUT THIS, STAFF CALLED, WHAT DO
YOU WANT TO DO?
HOW IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE?
WE DON'T KNOW YET.
WHOLE POINT IS TO GET THE DATE.
08:22:55PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I HAVEN'T READ THE DOCUMENT, AND THE
NEWS MEDIA SAYS IT DOESN'T HAVE NUMBERS.
WE CAN SET THIS UP.
IF WE DON'T HAVE SOMETHING SUBSTANTIVE, WE CAN LOOK TO SHIFT
IT ALL.
08:23:05PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
AGAIN, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO HAVE A TWO-WEEK
NOTICE, WE AT LEAST NEED TO GET IS IT STARTED.
NOW SO THESE ARE JUST QUESTIONS THAT I AM GOING TO THROW
OUT.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANSWERS TONIGHT, THAT IS FINE.
MISS SHARP WILL SEND OUT TO EVERYBODY TO THINK ABOUT IT
MORE.
BECAUSE WE REALLY NEED TO THINK -- WE NEED TO MAKE DECISION
BY NEXT THURSDAY.
FIRST QUESTION IS WHO WOULD YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE, CITY
STAFF, LEGAL, COUNTY REPRESENTATIVES, ITS RAYS.
08:23:35PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I THINK YOU NEED THEM ALL.
08:23:36PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THESE ARE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO THINK
ABOUT.
WHAT WOULD THE WORKSHOP AGENDA ITEM BE.
AND DO WE WANT TO GO DOWN THE PATH OF GETTING AN INDEPENDENT
LEGAL OPINION ABOUT CIT OR DO WE WANT TO WAIT UNTIL THE
COUNTY HAS DONE SO.
08:23:55PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THE COUNTY HAS A WORKSHOP NEXT WEEK.
08:23:59PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
NOT THE WORKSHOP.
THEY HAVE GOTTEN AN OUTSIDE INDEPENDENT LEGAL TO MAKE A
DETERMINATION ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY CAN USE CIT MONEY ON
STADIUM.
08:24:08PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THE COMMISSIONER MYERS' MOTION?
08:24:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I DON'T KNOW.
08:24:13PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
WHEN DO THEY GET A RESPONSE AT THE NEXT
BOARD MEETING?
08:24:18PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
WE SHOULD WAIT FOR THEM TO FINISH IT IF
IT IS NOT TOO LONG SO WE DON'T HAVE ANOTHER CONFLICT
ON WHAT HAPPENED THEN.
08:24:25PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU WANT US TO CONSIDER.
BECAUSE I AM GOING TO WRITE THESE DOWN LIKE I SAID.
MISS SHARP WILL SEND THEM TO EVERYBODY SO WE CAN BE THINKING
ABOUT IT.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO PUT THIS UNDER OLD BUSINESS ON
THURSDAY SO WE CAN AT LEAST TRY TO --
08:24:40PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
CAN I TAKE WEEK TO THINK OF THAT ON THAT
THURSDAY -- I MEAN, A WEEK FROM TODAY, I WILL HAVE MORE
SUBSTANTIAL QUESTIONS.
08:24:47PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
AND WE WILL HAVE MORE ANSWERS.
ALSO, IF YOU WANT TO SEND QUESTIONS TO KELLY, I CAN HAVE HER
COORDINATE.
08:24:54PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THE COUNTY, THEIR WORKSHOP, WEBS OR
THURSDAY?
08:24:59PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
WEDNESDAY.
08:25:00PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WE MIGHT HAVE ANSWERS BY NEXT THURSDAY.
08:25:02PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
SORRY, WHAT IS THE DATE OF THE COUNTY'S
WORKSHOP?
08:25:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
I CAN IF IT IS WEDNESDAY.
08:25:08PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
THE 15th?
I CAN IF IT IS THE 15TH.
08:25:11PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT THE E-MAILS THAT CAME
TODAY.
AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATORS AND LEGAL PEOPLE ARE SAYING THE SAME
THING THAT CITY IS SAYING IS THAT THIS CAME FROM THE RAYS.
AND NONE OF THEM HAVE REVIEWED IT YET, THE CONTRACT OR CITY.
THE COUNTY WAS INVOLVED IN NEGOTIATING IT.
ALLEGEDLY JOHN BENNETT WAS INVOLVED IN IT, BUT I DON'T
KNOW.
I THINK THE MAIN THING FOR US IS A WORKSHOP FOR USES TO HEAR
FROM PUBLIC HOPEFULLY, BUT ALSO TO TALK TO EACH OTHER ABOUT
SOME OF THE DEAL POINTS AT LEAST IN CONCEPT BECAUSE WE CAN'T
TALK TO EACH OTHER OUTSIDE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING.
SO AT LEAST WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT IN CONCEPT.
SOME OF THE THINGS I MENTIONED THIS MORNING THAT I SUGGESTED
IS YOU GUYS PROBABLY HAVE OTHER IDEAS AND BETTER IDEAS AND
WE CAN ALL TALK ABOUT THEM.
AND IF WE COULD ORGANIZE IN DEAL POINTS.
FOR EXAMPLE, HOW MUCH MONEY AND LOOK AT EACH BUCKET
INDIVIDUALLY.
A LOT OF RESISTANCE FOR THE CIT.
I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS OF THE CRA, IF THEY DO WHAT THEY
SAY THEY ARE GOING TO DO.
GENERATE MORE IN CRA THAN WHAT THEY SAID ORIGINALLY.
ONE OF THE IDEAS IF CRA GOES ABOVE THAT AND USE CRA TO BUY
DOWN CIT AND THEY ARE SAYING THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE.
08:26:34PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
WILL NOT DO MORE THAN WHAT THEY ARE DOING
NOW.
08:26:37PM >>BILL CARLSON:
IF YOU PUT IT AROUND WATER STREET, AND
WATER STREET IS GENERATING $20 MILLION A YEAR NOW.
MIGHT TAKE TEN YEARS TO GENERATE SOMETHING, BUT IF THEY DO
IT SND ISSUE A BOND BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO TALK OF INTEREST
RATES.
IF WE BOND IT, WE ARE TAKING AN UP-FRONT RISK.
08:26:54PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I AM NOT DISAGREEING.
BONDING HAS AN ADVANTAGE OPINION BUYING AT ONE PRICE OPINION
30 YEARS FROM NOW IS IN ANOTHER PRICE.
SO IF WE BUILD, YOU GET WHERE YOU ARE MONEY BACK ON YOUR
INTEREST IF YOU BUILT IT RIGHT.
LONG TERM, YOUR NET -- IT SHOULD BE NET ZERO, IN MY OPINION.
08:27:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ONE OF MY QUESTIONS WAS IF -- AND THE RAYS ARE
SAYING IF WE BUILD THIS OR IF WE GIVE THEM SOME MONEY, THAT
WE WILL NEVER HAVE TO DO ANY TIME OF MAINTENANCE.
WITH BUCS COSTS BEING -- I HEARD $1 BILLION.
08:27:27PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
$850 MILLION.
08:27:31PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IN THE LONG RUN, THAT MAY PAN OUT FOR US.
THESE ARE JUST QUESTIONS.
SO DO THESE QUESTIONS WORK AS BEGINNING?
08:27:39PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
WE ARE NOT CONSIDERATION.
WE ARE NOT CONSIDERING.
BECAUSE I THINK OF THE WEIRDEST THINGS.
THEY ARE A BUSINESS, AND WE NEVER DONE THAN TO ANY OTHER
BUSINESS OTHER THAN SPORTS.
