THE APPLICANT, MISS LAMONT. >> COUNCIL, GOOD EVENING. >>ORLANDO GUDES: GOOD EVENING. >> I WANT TO SIMPLY STATE THAT IT IS A PLEASURE TO BE HERE. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS IMPORTANT TO THIS PROPERTY IS THIS IS A PROJECT THAT HAS BEEN IN MY FAMILY FOR A FEW YEARS, AND SOMETHING MY BROTHER STARTED. WE ARE TRYING TO FINISH IT. UNFORTUNATELY HE PASSED AWAY EARLY. AND WE HAVE BEEN A PART OF THE WELLS WOOD AREA SINCE THE EARLY '0s. THE PROPERTY MEANS A LOT. I KNOW IT IS A VERY UNIQUE PROPERTY AS WE SEE, AND WE IKE TO BUILD A SINGLE-STORY 1800-SQUARE-FOOT HOME WITH A DOUBLE CAR GARAGE AND DESIGN WITH DECORATIVE BRICK AND STUCCO. THE BUILDING HEIGHT WILL BE 20 FEET. THERE ARE SOME TREES LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY THAT WOULD BE RELOCATED AND TRANSPLANTED. THEY ARE ACTUALLY EIGHT TREES, SEVEN PALMS AND A MAGNOLIA.

THE -- IF YOU GOT THE APPROVAL, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO KEEP ONE OF THE HOUSES, IS THAT CORRECT, THE ONE TO THE LEFT? >> THAT'S CORRECT. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND THEN THE ONE TO THE RIGHT YOU ARE GOING TO BUILD A NEW HOUSE. HOW -- WHAT SORT OF SEPARATION WOULD YOU BE HAVING BETWEEN THE TWO -- THE TWO HOMES? IN OTHER WORDS, SOMETIMES WE GET THESE AND THE -- THE LEFT SIDE, THE OLD HOUSE, IS ALREADY VERY, VERY CLOSE TO THE PROPERTY LINE, YOU KNOW, AFTER THE SPLIT AND THEN IT SORT OF LOOKS AND FEELS KIND OF STRANGE. WHAT IS YOUR SITUATION IN THAT REGARD? >> WE HAVE SEVEN FEET ON EACH -- FROM EACH DWELLING TO THE PROPERTY LINE SO A TOTAL OF 14 FEET BETWEEN DWELLINGS. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THAT IS CODE. THAT WAS MY MA QUEIONTION OT OTHERWISE IT APPEARS THAT THE WHOLE REASON THEIR HAVING TO DO THE PD IS BECAUSE YOU ARE TWO FEET -- YOU ARE TWO FEET OFF OF THE REQUIRED 60 FEET.

AS COUNCILS AWARE, THERE ARE SOME NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE VERY SENSITIVE AND TICKLISH ABOUT THIS, QUOTE, LOT SPLIT AND REQUIRED 60 FEET TO 58 F FEET. THIS NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH WAS DULY NOTICED AND ADVERTISED WITH A SIGN OUT FRONT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE HERE AND DON'T BELIEVE WE HEARD FROM THEM IN WRITING. AS I LOOK AROUND, THE OTHER CONCERN I NORMALLY WOULD HAVE IN ADDITION TO NEIGHBORHOOD OBJECTION IS PCEDE. AS I LOOK AROUND IN THE SURROUNDING BLOCKS ON HER SIDE, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THERE IS A WHOLE LOT OF OPPORTUNITY FOR ADDITIONAL LOT SPLITS ON THE NORTHERN SEGMENT TOWARD THE SOUTH, THERE IS QUITE A FEW. QUITE A FEW LARGER LOTS AND WE MIGHT BE SEEING THOSE DOWN THE ROAD. SO I GUESS WE WILL CROSS THAT BRIDGE WHEN WE GET TO IT. THANK YOU, MR.

I WILL REFER TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND PLEASE RETURN TO ME AFTER. >> JENNIFER MALONE WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION. I AM GOING TO SHARE MY SCREEN. FILE NO. REZ-21-04. THERE IS A TRANSIT SPOT 400 FEET EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND IN EVACUATION SGLOEJ ZONE A AND IN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA. THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN THE PURPLE. RETENTION POND TO THE EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE. TO THE WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE IS A MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT. TO THE SOUTH IS STRICT COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND A PARKING LOT. THERE ARE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES TO THE NORTH. GANDY BOULEVARD IS LOCATED TO THE SOUTH A MAATTAN AVENUE IS LOCATED TO THE EAST. THE SUBJECT SITE IS DESIGNATED URBAN USED MIX 60. TO THE NORTH COMMUNITY MIXED. AND ORANGE IS RESIDENTIAL-10, THE SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED A AREA. THE ROWN COLOR IS THE RESIDENTIAL-35 THAT IS THE MULTIFAMILY THAT I POINTED OUT EARLIER. YOU CAN SEE THAT THE URBAN MIXED USE-60 PATTERN IS PRESENT ALONG GANDY BOULEVARD AS WELL. SO THE SUBJECT SITE IS PROPOSING THE MULTIFAMILY AS RYAN STATED AND BE CONSIDERED FOR MAXIMUM OF 443 DWELLING UNITS. UP TO 411 DWELLING UNITS WITH THE BONUS AND THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING 313 DWELLING UNITS BELOW THE MAXIMUM THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED FOR THE LAND USE DESIGNATION. THE APPLICANT HAS ADDRESSED THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA FOR A COMMITMENT TO MEET MITIGATION PAYMENTS WITH HILLSBOROUGH THUGH GENERAL NOTE NUMBER 5A ON THE SITE PLAN. THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FOUND THAT THE ORIENTATION OF THE BUILDING, WHICH I AM SURE RYAN WILL GO INTO MORE FOR HIS REPORT. WE FOUND THAT THE ORIENTATION PROVIDED SENSITIVITY TO THAT SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NORTH. THE APPLICANT HAS ALSO PROVIDED SOME PEDESTRIAN ACCESS AND SIDEWALK CONNECTIONS AS WELL FOR THE RESIDENTS OF THIS PROPOSED MULTIFAMILY BUILDING. SO OVERALL, IT WAS -- IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENSITY AND DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE LD US DESIGNATION YOU ARE BANAL MIXED USE 60 AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AND DEVELOPMENT ANTICIPATED THROUGH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE MAP. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, BUT I WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANY QUESTIONS GENTLEMEN? MR. MANASSE. >>RYAN MANASSE: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. IF YOU MAY SHARE MY TEAM.

ALSOHE -- TO ALLOW THE LOADING SPACE IN LIEU FOR WAIVER NUMBER ONE, REDUCTION IN THE LOADING BERTHS, AND RETAIN LESS THAN 40% OF EXISTING TREES AND THE TREE TRUST FUND AND -- AND REDUCTION IN THE MINIMUM GREEN SPACE REQUIREMENT AND YOU CAN SEE THE OUTLINE THERE. ALSO, THERE IS A REDUCTION REQUEST FOR THE BUFFER ALONG OLD KELLER AVENUE. WITH THAT BEING SAID, THE PETITIONER AT 4465 AND 4467 WEST GANDY BOULEVARD TO REZONE PI TO PD TO CONSTRUCT THE MULTIFAMILY 2452 SQUARE-FOOT BUILDING.

SOUTH BY CI, AND EAST BY COMMERCIAL USES IN THE PD AND CI ZONING DISTRICT AND WEST BY OFFICE USES IN THE RO-1 AND RESIDENTIAL IN THE RM 24-7B. THE PROPOSED BUILDING SETBACKS NORTH, 0 FEET. AND THERE IS -- I PUT A NOTE ON HIRE. THAT NEEDS TO BE READVISED IN OUR REVISION SHEET AS WELL FEW TO THE PORTE COCHERE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE, GOING ALMOST ZERO TO THE PROPERTY LINE TO THE NORTH. THAT SETBACK WE ARE REQUESTING LABELED AT ZERO. SOUTH 10 FEET. EAST 5 FOOT. AND WEST 10 FEET. THE MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT IS 60 FEET, FOUR STORIES AND PROPOSED NUMBER OF DWELLING UNITS AND 437 PARKING SPACES ARE REQUIRED AND 394RE BNG PROVIDED WHICH IS 10% REDUCTION AND ASSOCIATED WAIVER THAT IS PRESENTED IN THE STAFF REPORT AS WELL. VEHICULAR ACCESS TO THE SURFACE PARKING LOT WITH A CIRCULAR DRIVE AND THREE ADDITIONAL ACCESS POINTS AT THE SOUTH END OF THE SUBJECT SITE.

TO THE EAST, THERE IS THAT RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY. TO THE WEST AS WELL AS THAT OFFICE AND RS-60 ZONING DISTRICT WHERE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ARE LOCATED. THE SITE PLAN -- THE BUILDING OUTLINE WILL SHOW YOU HERE TO THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. I AM TRYING TO ROLL MY CURSOR OVER IT. HERE IS THAT CIRCULAR DRIVE THAT IS OUTLINED ON OAK GELLAR AND TO REFERENCE THE ZERO FOOT SETBACK THE PORTE COCHERE ON THE SITE PLAN WANT THAT SETBACK TO BE REDUCED NICK OVER 36 INCHES NEEDS TO BE CALLED OUT AS A SETBACK. THE OTHER ACCESS ON OAK KELLER AND THREE ACCESS POINTS TO THE SOUTH. AND HERE IS THE LARGE SURFACE PARKING LOT BEING REQUIRED FOR -- PROVIDED FOR THE REQUIRED PARKING. A BLOCK FORMATION BUILDING WITH A COURTYARD IN THE MIDDLE AND LAP POOLS AND SUCH IN THE CENTER OF THE MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING. THE ELEVATION PROVIDED ARE ALSO FRONT, BUT THEY ALSO SHOW THE DIRECTIONS TO THE WEST. THE RIGHT END AND THE LEFT END. AND THEN JUST SOME PICTURES OF THE SUBJECT SITE. A LARGER SITE. SO FORGIVE ME FOR USING THE AERIAL MORE. IT IS EASIER TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THE LOCATION IS. A LARGE STRIP CENTER WHERE THE SUBJECT SITE IS AND GOES ACROSS TO THE WEST TO THE EAST. HERE IS THAT RETENTION POND THAT YOU PROBABLY SAW ON THE AERIAL, AND THIS STREET DIRECTLY TO THE EAST AND THE PROPERTIES ACROSS THE STREET THERE. THE LEFT PICTURE IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NORTH. THAT RESENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY. CENTER IS THE COMMERCIAL AND PICTURE TO THE RIGHT IS THE REAR OF THE EXISTING STRUCTURE THAT WILL HAVE TO BE DEMOLISHED IN ORDER TO CONSTRUCT THE PROPOSED BUILDING. BASED ON THE STAFF REPORT, THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF FIND THE PETITION INCONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA REGULATIONS AND LOOK FOR FINDINGS FROM TRANSPORTATION FOR WAIVERS BEING REQUESTED SHOULD IT BE THE PLEASURE OF CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE WAIVERS AS IDENTIFIED IN THE REPORT, AS WELL AS THE APPLICATION. THERE ARE FURTHER -- SORRY, FURTHER MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN REQUIRED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING OF THE ORDINANCE AS STATED ON THE REVISION SHEET. AS SUCH, STAFF IS AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE, AND THAT COMPLETES MY PRESENTATION. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS, GENTLEMEN? >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I HAVE A QUESTION.

WHAT IS THE CURRENT ACCESS IN TERMS OF -- TO GANDY AND/OR TO THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NORTH AND WHAT IS THE PROPOSED ACCESS. >> JONATHAN SCOTT, CITY OF TAMPA, TRANSPORTATION AND PLANNING. THE PROPERTY CURRENTLYAS ACCESS TO OAK HELLER AND GOES INTO THAT ALLEY. AND I GUESS IT HAS CROSS CROSS-ACCESS, YOU CAN GO OVER TO THE GANDY, OF COURSE. AND THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN, THEY ARE GOING TO ACCESS OAK HELLER AND THEY WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE ALLEY AS WELL TO THE EAST OF THE PROPERTY THERE. OR ACTUALLY IT IS TO THE SOUTH, I SHOULD SAY -- NO, TO THE E EAST. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO ALL -- >> ACCESS WELL TO THE SOUTH AS WELL. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO HAS THERE BEEN A TRANSPORTATION STUDY DONE IN TERMS OF COMPARING THE -- IT LOOKS LIKE THAT STRIP MALL HAS BEEN CLOSED DOWN -- OR AT LEAST PARTIALLY CLOSED DOWN FOR A WHILE. HAS THERE BEEN A STUDY COMPARING THE EXISTING TRAFFIC COMPARED TO THE PROPOSED TRAFFIC THAT MIGHT GO THROUGH THAT NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NORTH? >> YES. THEY DID DO A COMPARISON. NOW CERP CONSIDERED A NET DECREASE IN OVERALL TRAFFIC THE WAY WE LOOK AT IT. WE LOOK AT IT BASED ON THE I.T. INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORTATION OF ENGINEER TRIPS, SO THE EXISTING USE OF THE STRIP CENTER TO THE PROPOSED MULTIFAMILY USE HAS ABOUT 4,000 TRIPS PER DAY YES. AND THAT IS A NET DECREASE. THE TRAFFIC STUDY AND TRAFFIC MEMO, THE STATE IMPACT REQUIRED TO DO A TRAFFIC STUDY AND LESS TRAFFIC. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THERE IS NO ACTUAL COUNTS OR ANYTHING, YOU KNOW, RUBBER -- I GUESS THEY USED TO DO THE RUBBER THING IN THE ROAD. NO COUNTS IN TERMS OF WHAT THE EXISTING FLOW IS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS COMPARED TO WHAT THE PROPOSED FLOW MIGHT BE? >> JONATHAN SCOTT: NO, THEY WEREN'T REQUIRED TO DO THAT AND BASED ON ITE CALCULATIONS. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THE TRIP CALCULATIONS ARE BASED ON THE COMMERCIAL SPACE THAT IS THERE, NOT NECESSARILY HOW IT HAS BEEN USED IN RECENT YEARS OR NOT U USED IN RECENT YEARS. JUST THE AMOUNT. >> JONATHAN SCOTT: THAT'S CORRECT. I WILL BE ON STANDBY. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYBODY ELSE? WE WILL HEAR FROM THE APPL APPLICANT. >> JOHN LUM, 2811 BAY POINTE CIRCLE BROADLY 33611. I AM PUTTING ON THE ELMO A PICTURE OF WHAT THE SITE LOOKED LIKE 25 YEARS AGO WHEN THE CONSTRUCTION STARTED ON THIS SITE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: HAVE YOU BEEN SWORN SIR? >> YES, I HAVE BEEN SWORN, SIR. YOU CAN SEE -- ALL THE SOUTH TAMPA RESIDENTS WATCHED THIS THING GET BUILT, AND 180,000 SQUARE FEET OF RETAIL WAS BUILT HERE. KASH AND KARRY THE ORIGINAL, THEY FAILED, WINN-DIXIE, SONIC DRIVE-THRUS, ROLLER SKATES, YOU FIT GYMS ON AND ON. THE AMOUNT OF RETAILERS THAT HAVE BEEN BACK HERE AND THEY ALL FAILED. THE BREWERY THERE RHT N HAS BEEN STRUGGLING. THE THREE RESIDENTS THERE ON THE WEST SIDE, THERE IS A BEAUTY SHOP, A NAIL SALON. THEY ARE PAYING ABOUT $10 A FOOT RENT WHICH IS WAY, WAY BELOW MARKET. AND WE HAVE A NICE MASSAGE PARLOR WITH HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND WHATEVER IS GOING ON IN THOSE THINGS AND IT IS VERY SUCCESSFUL, OTHERWISE NOT A SUCCESSFUL PLAZA. THE CHURCH OF THE OLD WINN-DIXIE SITE AND NOT A RETAIL USE EITHER. WE FEEL THAT IT IS A GREAT ADAPTIVE REUSE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY. OUR GOAL HERE IS TO DO SOME MARKET RATE AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR OUR HOMETOWN HEROES. I DON'T THINK THEY EVER SEEN A 66% PROJECT LIKE THIS WHERE 66% OF THE -- OF THE APARTMENTS WILL BE EITHER MICRO UNITS OR STUDIOS. COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER AND I SPOKEN ABOUT THIS BEFORE THAT DEVELOPERS DON'T USUALLY DO THIS MUCH OF A -- YOU KNOW, AFFORDABLE HOUSING CENTRIC DEVELOPMENT AND WE ARE HERE TO DO THAT. AND WE HOPE THE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT IN 100 YEARS FROM NOW WE WILL PROBABLY BUILD IT OUT OF CONCRETE BLOCK, THESE WILL STILL BE HERE FOR FOLKS WHO NO LONGER CAN AFFORD HO HOUSING IN SOUTH TAMPA, FOLKS MAKING BETWEEN $39,000, $45,000 A YEAR, TEACHERS, FIREMEN, FIRST RESPONDERS. APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TONIGHT. >> HELLO, MY NAME IS BOB GRIESE, JOHN LUM'S PARTNER A MEMBER OF THE TAMPA BAY COMMUNITY AND A PHILANTHROPIST. MANY OF MY EMPLOYEES TELL ME THEY ARE MOVING TO PINELLAS COUNTY BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT FORDO LIVE HERE. THIS IS NOT ABOUT BUILDING ANOTHER APARTMENT COMPLEX. WE HAVE A DESPERATE NEED FOR NEW MARKET RATE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. CURRENTLY IF YOU HAVE $1200 A MONTH TO SPEND, YOU ARE EITHER GOING TO LIVE IN 40-YEAR-OLD APARTMENTS OR YOU ARE MOVING TO PINELLAS, LUTZ, OR BRADENTON. MY PARTNER, JOHN, AND I ARE TRYING TO BUILD AFFORDABLE MARKET RATE HOUSING FOR NURSES, TEACHERS, FIRST RESPONDERS AND OTHERS SO THEY STAY IN OUR COMMUNITY. THIS IS A RETAIL SITE THAT HAS NEVER WORKED FOR 30 YEARS. AND IFORCETO TILL THIS TO ANOTHER LARGE RETAIL DEVELOPER TRAFFIC WILL BE TEN TIMES WORSE THAN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX. AS FOR MICHAEL BEARD OF 813 BREWING HAVE TRIED TO MAKE US THE EVIL REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS AND PUBLICIZED PLEASE KNOW HE HAS NOT PAID RENT FOR ONE AND A HALF YEARS, NOT A SINGLE DO DOLLAR. THIS DOESN'T WORK AS A RETAIL COMPLEX. I HOPE YOU WILL SUPPORT MY PARTNER JOHN LUM AND I IN BUILDING DESPERATELY NEEDED -- I WILL SAY IT AGAIN, DESP DESPERATELY NEEDED MARKET RATE AFFORDABLE HOUSING SO WE STOP LOSING TAMPA RESIDENTS TO OTHER COMMUNITIES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL. THOSE WERE THE TWO PROPERTY OWNERS INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT. FULL CUE UP THE POWERPOINT AND WE WILL GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION FOR YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE KNOW YOUR NAME BUT STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. >> STE MICLINI I HAVE BEEN SWORN. AND I AM THE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE PROJECT AT 4465 GANDY. FILE NO. REZ-21-04. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. IF YOU COULD BLOW UP THAT SOME. THIS IS THE -- THIS IS THE PROPOSED SITE THAT IS BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL. AND I AM JUST WANTING TO GO THROUGH A COUPLE OF THINGS WITH YOU. THERE IS A VERY LARGE ACCESS DRIVEWAY ON THE EAST END OF THIS PROPERTY THAT GOES INTO OAK KELLER AND THAT DRIVEWAY LL BE REMOVED. IT IS VERY, VERY WIDE AND I THINK IN SOME OF THE DISCUSSION WITH THE NEIGHBORS, THEY HAD REQUESTED THAT THAT -- THAT WE CONSIDERED THAT TO BE REMOVED AND WE CAN DO THAT AND WE CAN MAKE THE CHANGE IF THE COUNCIL MOVES FORWARD WITH THIS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. ALSO, FULL NOTE, THEY ASK FOR SOME ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING ALONG OAK KELLER. AND INSTEAD OF BEING TWO-INCH TREES, THEY WILL ALL BE F FOUR-INCH TREES THROUGHOUT THE SITE, WHICH WILL GIVE AN IMMEDIATE HIGH VISIBILITY AND GREEN CORRIDOR. ON REAR OF THE PROPERTY, I THINK YOU WILL SEE ON SOME OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS HERE THAT -- JUST ONE SECOND HERE. IF YOU GO TO THE OVERHEAD. THIS IS THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY THAT CURRENTLY FACES OAK KELLER AND YOU WILL E THAT THERE IS A CELL PHONE TOWER BACK TO THE OVERHEAD. AND THERE IS AN EXTREMELY LARGE GENERATOR THAT IS HERE THAT WILL ALSO BE REMOVED. THIS IS THE SECTION ALONG OAK KELLER CURRENTLY AND THIS IS WHAT FACES THE NEIGHBORHOOD. YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE EDGE OF THE DRIVEWAY THAT IS GOING TO BE REMOVED. THIS IS A VIEW FROM OAK KELLER TO THE BACK OF THE BUILDING. WE ARE ALSO WORKING WITH TECO TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE POWER LINES. AND THERE IS A PLAN FOR THOSE TO BE BURIED ALONG THAT SDE. THIS IS THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY THAT FACES AN APARTMENT COMPLEX IN ANOTHER PARKING LOT AND AGAIN THE PROPOSAL THROB REMOVE ALL OF THAT. THIS IS THE AERIAL FORECAST OF TG PLANNED FOR DEMOLITION. AND IF YOU LOOK ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OVER HERE, THIS IS THE DRIVEWAY THAT GOES INTO OAK KELLER THAT IS BEING PLANNED TO BE REMOVED. THIS THE DRIVEWAY THAT CURRENTLY ACCESSES OAK KELLER. YOU CAN SEE IT IS VERY WIDE. AND THAT IS GOING TO BE REM REMOVED. WE CAN GO CK T THE POWERPOINT PLEASE. NEXT -- NEXT SLIDE -- WELL, LET'S STAY ON HERE FOR A SECOND. WE ARE ACTUALLY INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF GREEN SPACE THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS ON THE SITE. WE ARE SHORT AND ASKING FOR A WAIVER AND WE ARE EXCEEDING WHAT CURRENTLY EXISTS. THIS SITE -- >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. MICH MICHELINI, THE -- TECHNICAL -- WE DON'T HAVE ANY SCREENS ON THE DAIS AT ALL. THANK YOU, SIR. YOU MAY CONTINUE SIR. >> EXCEPT FOR THE -- EXCEPT FOR THE ISLANDS, THERE IS NO GREEN SPACE ON THIS PROPERTY. RELATIVELY SMALL. I THINK -- WE KEEP SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH. ARE YOU SEEING THIS SCREEN? >> YES, SIR, WE ARE SEEING IT. >> WE ARE ACTUALLY REDUCING THE IMPERVIOUS AREA BY 15 -- 15%. AS YOU WELL KNOW WE CAN NOT WAIVE TECHNICAL STANDARDS REGARDING DRAINAGE AND MEET ALL OF THE STORMWATER AND DRAINAGE CODE. WE ALSO ARE TRYING TO ESTABLISH THIS AS A RETROFIT FOR CI ZONING. IT HAS URBAN MIXED USE-60 DESIGNATION WHICH IS EXTREMELY HIGH AND YOU CAN SEE FROM THE EARLIER DISCUSSION THAT WE TALKED ABOUT GANDY BEING A CORRIDOR AND BEING ACCEPTABLE FOR THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT AND SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED. IT ALREADY HAS THE CORRECT ZONING. OUR ISSUE IS THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE SOME OF THOSE WAIVERS. WE HAVE RECONFIGURED THE PARKING LOT SO WE NOW ARE AT 422 SPACES. AND WILL REQUIRE A REDUCTION FROM 444 TO 422, WHICH WILL BE 20 SPACES. AND NOT THE LARGER NUMBER. WE ARE PROPOSING A 313 UNITS. IF WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT PAGE HERE -- NEXT SLIDE. WE HAVE SUFFICIENT INFRASTRUCTURE FOR WATER AND SEWER. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE FRONT OF THE BUILDINGS THAT WE ARE PLANNING TO DEMOLISH AS WELL AS THE BACK SIDE THAT FRONTS ON OAK KELLER AND THE EAST -- AND THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING. NEXT. THE SUBJECT SITE IS ALREADY CLASSIFIED AND IDENTIFIED AS A MIXED USE CORRIDOR AND AS I STARTED TO SAY EARLIER, A TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDOR AND CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USE PROVISIONS CONTAED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THEY ARE OUTLINED FOR YOU. THE TRANSFORMATION MAKING THE CORRIDORS INCLUDED A BROADER MIX OF USES HAS BOTH WHO SGLONT ALE AND VERTICAL AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR OPPORTUNITY AND DENSITY HOUSING. HOUSING IS A CRITICAL NEED AND I THINK AS MR. GREASE AND MR. LUM BOTH POINTED OUT, THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST TIME WE ARE TRYING TO ACHIEVE A LOWER PRICE POT ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND THIS IS WHAT IS DRIVING THIS DENSITY UP ALTHOUGH STILL BELOW THE 50 UNITS PER ACRE THAT WILL BE ALLOWED BY RIGHT. 60 UNITS PER ACRE WOULD REQUIRE A F.A.R. AND SPECIAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY. IF YOU LOOK AT LAND USE POLICY 6.1.5, DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT ALONG MIXED USE CORRIDOR AND USE PUBLIC TRANSIT, PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE TRANSIT MAXIMIZING A POTENTIAL. WE PLAN TO HAVE A BICYCLE RENTAL STAND ON-SITE AS WELL AS A SCOOTER STAND ON-SITE AND A NEW CONCEPT WHICH IS CALLED ZIP CAR, WHICH IS AN INSTANT CAR RENTAL FOR LOCAL COMMUTING USE ON-SITE TO HELP MITIGATE THE REDUCTION IN PARKING. WE ALSO ARE EXPLORING THE USE THROUGH A LEASE AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE OF AN ADJACENT PARCEL WHICH IS ALREADY A PARKING LOT. BUT WE IS IT NOT WANT TO GET INTO THAT WITH OUR PROPOSAL BECAUSE IT WOULD CHANGE OUR SITE PLAN AND POTENTIALLY KICK US BACK INTO A COMPLETE NEW REVIEW. WE BELIEVE WE HAVE MET THE CRITERIA REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR PROPOSAL. WE HAVE TRANSPORTATION -- WE HAVE BEEN IF FULL DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM REGARDING THIS. THEIR OBJECTION AND FINDING OF INCONSISTENCY IS BASED ON THE NUMBER OF SPACES THAT WERE -- THAT WERE BEING REQUESTED TO BE WAIVED; HOWEVER, WE BELIEVE THAT WE PRESENTED ENOUGH SUFFICIENT MITIGATING ALTERNATIVES TO ACCOT FO THOSE 22 SPACES. AND, AGAIN, WE WILL HAVE TO SHOW THAT RECONFIGURATION BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING SHOULD THE COUNCIL CHOOSE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS. WE ALSO ARE GOING TO PROVIDE SIDEWALKS ALONG OAK KELLER THAT PREVIOUSLY HAD NO SIDEWALKS, AND THEY WILL BE BUILT ACCORDING TO THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE AND NOT SEEKING WAIVERS OR IN LIEU FEES. REMOVING 100,000 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE CODE, YOU WILL S BY RIGHT, THEY COULD NOT ONLY GO TO OVER 100,000 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, BUT THEY ALSO COULD INCREASE THAT EVEN FURTHER BECAUSE THE F.A.R. THERE WITHOUT AN AGREEMENT IS 3.25. SO THAT YIELDS IN A -- IT IS IN YOUR STAFF REPORT, SOMETHING LIKE 900,000 -- 900 -- YEAH, 900,000 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL PROPERTY. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE ON THE POWERPOINT. WE DID -- WE D A TRAFFIC ANALYSIS AS MR. DINGFELDER REQUESTED, AND THIS BASED ON THE ITE TRIP GENERATION MANUAL WHICH ASSUMES THAT THE 100,000 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL WILL BE OCCUPIED. AND IT ALSO ASSUMES THAT THE APARTMENT -- THE PROPOSED APARTMENTS AT 313 WOULD BE FULLY OCCUPIED. YOU CAN SEE THERE IS A DIFFERENCE HERE BETWEEN EXISTING USE THAT IS PERMITTED AND ALLOWED, 5934 VEHICLES AND TRIPS WE ARE DAY VERSUS 1682 TRIPS PER DAY, WHICH IS ABOUT THREE AND A HALF TIMES MORE THAN THE -- THAN THE PROPOSED USE IS LESS THAN THE EXISTING USE IS ALLOWED. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. THIS SHOWS YOU THE TRANSIT CORRIDOR'S EVACUATION MAP. WE HAVE TALKED TO BOTH TAMPA FIRE RESCUE AND TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT REGARDING THE EVACUATION PLANS. THOSE EVACUATION PLANS START OFF FIVE DAYS IN ADVANCE, NOT ONE OR TWO DAYS IN ADVANCE AND TR IN TERMS OF THEIR ENCOURAGEMENT TO LIFE IF THAT IS THE CHOICE OF THE -- OF THE RESIDENTS THERE. AND THIS WILL INCLUDE ALL OF THE HOMEOWNERS ALONG OAK KE KELLER, CORTEZ, AND HESPIRDIES AS THIS APARTMENT AS PROPOSED. THOSE CRITERIA INVOLVED, THE FIRST IS AN ENUNCIATION WITH LOUDSPEAKERS UP AND DOWN THE STREET AND ALSO MULTIMEDIA MEA ENCOURAGING PEOPLE IFSOCIAL THEY LIVE IN CERTAIN AREAS TO CONSIDER EVACUATION. AS IT GETS CLOSER TO THE EVENT, IF THERE IS ONE, ON THE FOURTH DAY OUT, IT GETS MORE INTENSIVE AND ON THE THIRD DAY AND THE SECOND DAY AND THE -- AS -- IF THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE EVENT THAT IS ABOUT TO OCCUR, IT GETS EVEN MORE STRINGENT. THAT INCLUDES TRANSPORTATION FOR ANY OF THOSE RESIDENTS IN THE EVENT THEY CAN'T OR WON'T DRIVE THEIR OWN VEHICLES. IT INCLUDES TRANSPORTATION TO SHELTERS -- >>ORLANDO GUDES: HOW MUCH MORE TIME YOU NEED, MR. MICHELINI? >> JUST A COUPLE MORE MINUTES WOULD BE GOOD, I THINK. I THINK WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH ALL OF THE SITE PLAN, BUT I WANTED TO COVER THE EVACUATION PLAN THAT EVERYONE IS COVERED AND THE LAST THING THAT HAPPENS IS THAT THE POLICE OR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT GOES DOOR TO DOOR AND INDICATES TO INDIVIDUALS THAT THEY HAVE A WAY OUT IF THEY WANT ONE. NECK SLIDE, PLEASE. THIS SHOWS THE CAPACITY OF THE EVACUATION SHELTERS. AND BASICALLY THAT HILLSBORO HAS 52,316 VACANCIES OR SPACES FOR INDIVIDUALS. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. THIS IS THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AND JOHN WENT OVER IT. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. -- NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. WE ARE REMOVING THE CELL TOWER. REMOVING THE GENERATOR. REMOVING THE STRUCTURE BECAUSE DIDN'T WANT THE MAIN BUILDING TO FACE OAK KELLER AND REMOVING THE BALCONIES THAT FACE OAK KELLER. AND LOOKING AT OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENTS TO OAK KELLER AND THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY CROSSWALKS PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. AND AS THE STAFF MENTIONED ADEQUATE RETAIL AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION WITHIN LESS THAN A QUARTER MILE. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. THIS IS AN OVERVIEW SHOWING YOU ALL OF THE RETAIL AVAILABLE WITHIN THE AREA AND ALL OF THAT IS WITHIN LESS OF A MILE, BICYCLE STATIONS, COOLER STATIONS AND RENTAL CAR. THE FAILED RETAIL CENTER. NEXT, ARE THE APARTMENTS. THIS IS WHAT COULD BE BUILT THERE BY RIGHT. IT IS MASSIVE AND THIS IS NOT WITH -- WHAT WE ARE WANT CAN TO DO. NEXT SLIDE. THIS IS WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS THE LAST SLIDE SHOWING YOU REESTING AT 313 UNITS, FOUR STORIES AND WITH THE APPROPRIATE AMENITIES AND THE CHANGES THAT WE HAVE RECOMMENDED THAT WE MAY BE ABLE -- TO BE MADE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING AS WELL AS THE CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE CITY'S REQUEST FOR US TO MAKE CHANGES. SO ANYWAY, WE WOULD RESP RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR ASSISTANCE IN MAKING THIS PROJECT HAPPEN. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU. SHOULD WE GO FORWARD WITH THIS. >> MR. CHAIR. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CARLSON, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>BILL CARLSON: MR. GREASE MENTIONED A TENANT, TWO-THIRDS OR THREE QUARTERS OF THE E- E-MAILS HAVE CONCERN OF THE TENANT MOVING OUT. UNLESS LEGAL TELLS US OTHERWISE I DON'T THINK CITY COUNCIL HAS ANY CONTROL OVER THAT. BUT CAN YOU TELL US WHAT -- WHAT ARE THE -- WHAT -- WHAT -- FROM YOUR UNDERSTANDING IS AVAILABLE NOW? WHAT COULD YOU TO DO THE PROPERTY NOW WITH THE ENCOURAGEMENT EN TITLES THAT YOU HAVE, ARE YOU LIKELY TO KEEP THAT BUILDING AT ALL. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU WANT TO TEAR IT DOWN. IS IT LIKELY THAT BUILDING WILL STAY IF THIS DOESN'T GO THROUGH TONIGHT. WHAT WOULD YOU BE ENTITLED TO DO TODAY. >> IT IS NOT LIKELY THAT THE BUILDING WILL STAY. I HAVE DISCUSSED THE ISSUE REGARDING THE TENANT WITH THE CITY LEGAL DEPARTMENT, AND IT IS A CIVIL MATTER BETWEEN THAT TENANT AND THE LANDLORD. AND SO WE ARE REALLY NOT GOING TO ADDRESS THAT. BUT I THINK THE NUMBER IS 970,000 SQUARE FEET BY ENTITLEMENT WHICH IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER AND MORE INTENSIVE THAN WHAT IS CURRENTLY THERE. AND IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER AND MORE INTENSIVE THAN WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING. >>BILL CARLSON: THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYONE ELSE? MR. DINGFELDER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, MR. MICHELINI. JUST FOR CLARITY AND CLARIFICATION, YOU DESCRIBED MR. LUM AND MR. GREASE AS THE OWNERS. THE PROPERTY OWNERS. ARE THEY CURRENTLY THE OWNERS. >> MR. GREASE IS THE OWNER AND MR. LUM AND MR. GREASE ARE PARTNERS ON THE PROJECT. DING DINGFELDER SO THEY ARE NOT UNDER CONTRACT. THEY ARE ACTUALLY THE OWNERS. >> MR. GREASE IS THE ABSOLUTE OWNER, THAT'S CORRECT. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY. . >> IF I MAY, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, FOR CLARIFICATION ON THE APPLICATION IT INDICATES THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER IS GF FINANCE LLC. RATHER THAN INDIVIDUALS ARE THE OWNER PERHAPS THEY ARE REPRESENTING THE OWNER. >> THAT COMPANY IS -- MR. GREASE IS THE PRINCIPAL IN THAT COMPANY. HE CAN -- >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IS ON THE RIGHT PAGE WHEN WE SAY THINGS. WITH REGARDS TO MR. LUM STARTED OUT -- AND MR. GREASE START AND YOU WERE THE THIRD TO TALK ABOUT MARKET RATE, AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND WHEN WE LOOK AT THE -- THE PUBLICATION THAT YOU PROVIDED US TO, CAMEO, IT ALSO SPEAKS TO MARKET RATE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. AND THEY SPOKE TO HOUSING, TEACHERS AND THIS SORT OF TH THING. WHICH I THINK IS A WONDERFUL THING. IS THERE ANYWHERE ON THE SITE PLAN OR CONDITIONS THAT SPEAK TO THE -- THE AMOUNT OF RENT THAT IS GOING TO BE CHARGED OR EVEN THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE INDIVIDUAL UNITS? I BROUGHT THE WRONG GLASSES TODAY SO I AM HAVING TROUBLE READING THE FINE PRINT ON THE SITE PLAN. AND THAT'S WHY I AM AE QUESTION. FIRST TO YOU, STEVE. AND THEN I WILL ASK STAFF THE SAME THING. >> FIRST OF ALL, THAT -- THAT IS A CONDITION THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED AT THE END WHEN THE PROJECT WAS FINALLY BUILT. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT CONSTRUCTION COSTS ARE GOING TO BE. BUT WE DID OUTLINE THE NUMBER OF UNITS PER CATEGORY. AND THAT IS ON THE SITE PLAN. I CAN RUN THROUGH THOSE NUMBERS IF YOU WOULD LIKE. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YEAH. AND TELL ME WHERE ON-SITE -- I WAS HAVING SE TRBLE READING -- READING THE FINE PRINT. >> IT SAYS 111 MICROUNITS -- >>JOHN DINGFLDER: WHERE IS THAT ON THE SITE PLAN? >> RESIDENTIAL AND VISITOR PARKING REQUIREMENTS. >>RYAN MANASSE: COUNCIL, RYAN MANASSE, IF I MAY. THANK YOU, CHAIR. SORRY TO INTERRUPT AND I WANT TO BE CLEAR -- I HEARD 111 AND I HAVE SCOOT IT PLAN ZOOMED IN. COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, IF YOU DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER UNDER GREEN SPACE CALCULATION -- NOT GREEN SPACE CALCULATION BUT RESIDENT AND VISITOR PARKING REQUIREMENTS IS WHAT MR. MICHELINI IS GOING TO READ OFF, JUST FROM STAFF'S PERSPECTIVE, WE LOOKED AT IT -- A PARKING REQUIREMENT THERE IS INDICATED FOR DIFFERENT KINDS OF DWELLING UNITS. MR. MICHELINI STATED 313 MULTIFAMILY UNITS, 103 BEING MICRO, 09 APPROXIMATING STUDIO, 1212 BEING ONE TO TWO-BEDROOM UNITS AND THAT WAS PRESENTED ON THE SITE PLAN FOR CLARIFICATION ON THE STAFF SIDE. TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS ABOUT RENT, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IS SOMETHING WE N PUT ON THE SITE PLAN. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: RIGHT. I WAS ALSO A LITTLE CONFUSED BECAUSE IT WAS REFERRED TO, STEVE, AS "MARKET RATE" AND THEN "AFFORDABLE HOUSING." AND MARKET RATE IS WHATEVER THE MARKET WILL BEAR AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING HAVE OTHER DEFINITIONS DEPENDING IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT FEDERAL STATUTES OR STATE STATUTES WHATEVER. DID WE LOSE MR. MICHELINI? >> WE DIDN'T WANT TO GET INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL ON THAT BECAUSE THE COST AND THE EVENTUAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE -- OF THE PROJECT ARE -- OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE VARIABLES THAT EFFECT WHAT THE RENTAL RATES WOULD BE. THE GOAL AND THE OBJECTIVE WAS AND WE HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE VARIOUS UNIONS REGARDING IN, BUT THE GOAL WAS TO GIVE PREFERENCE TO FIRST RESPONDERS AND THOSE THAT NEEDED HOUSING BECAUSE THE HOUSING CRISIS BASICALLY IS -- IS SO -- SO HIGH THAT THE AFFORDABILITY OF THAT WAS -- WAS ALSO CAUSING SOME ISSUES. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO -- >> WE DON'T -- >>JOHN DINGFELDER: LET RYAN TO FIRM UP ON THIS. IN THE BOTTOM, RYAN, WHEN IT TALKS TO PARKING, 103 MICRO UNITS, 90 STUDIO UNITS. THAT IS GOOD, STEVE. I AM GLAD THAT WE ARE PROVIDING SOME SMALLER UNITS WHICH HOPEFULLY WILL BE LESS -- LESS EXPENSIVE AND MORE AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY. I THINK THAT IS A GOOD THING. BUT WHAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE IS WHEN -- HOW BINDING, RYAN -- RYAN MANASSE, HOW BINDING IS THAT OR CATE, EITHER ONE OF YOU, YOU KNOW, CAN -- YOU KNOW, AFTER -- AFTER THE PD IS APPROVED, CAN THEY -- THIS IS JUST ABOUT PARKING. SO COULD THEY ADD MORE PARKING AND IGNORE -- IGNORE THIS 103 MICRO UNITS AND 90 STUDIO UNITS. I GUESS THAT IS MORE OF A "CATE" QUESTION. >> I WAS THINKING MORE OF A RYAN QUESTION. >>RYAN MANASSE: I CAN START OFF AND THEN CATE. COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, YOU ARE CORREC AS FAR AS THE PARKING THEY CAN'T INCREASE THE PARKING. ONCE COUNCIL APPROVES A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, THERE IS A REQUIREMENT OR CODE, IF YOU WERE GOING TO TRY TO COME IN FOR A SUBSTANTIAL DEVIATION, THERE IS A REVIEW PROCESS AND IT IS A MINIMAL FACTOR THAT YOU CAN ADJUST. SOME OF THEM BEING YOU CAN'T ADJUST AT ALL USES, MEANS OF EGRESS AND TOUCH. AS FAR AS THE PARKING, IT CAN'T GO UP TOO MUCH OR DOWN TOO MUCH WITHOUT TRIGGERING A SUBSTANTIAL DEVIATION FROM A SITE PLAN THAT IS FOR CITY COUNCIL. AS FAR AS THE USE ON THE PROPERTY AND CATE, MAYBE I CAN HAVE YOU CONFIRM, MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL. AS FAR AS IT IS LAID OUT FOR THE PARKING REQUIREMENT IF THEY ARE MEETING THEIR PARKING REQUIREMENT, THAT PD WILL BE APPROVED AS IS. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND MAYBE I CAN -- MAYBE I CAN HELP A LITTLE BIT. STEVE MICHELINI, SINCE YOU ARE -- SINCE YOU ARE COMMITTING TO IT HERE AT THE BOTTOM UNDER THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS, BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING, WOULD -- WOULD YOUR SAME CLIENTS BE WILLING TO COMMIT THAT THIS IS THE ACTUAL NUMBER -- YOU KNOW, TYPE AND NUMBER OF UNITS THAT WOULD BE BUILT IF ANDHEN THIS -- YOU KNOW -- YOU HEAR WHERE I AM COMING FROM, STEVE. I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO PLAY ANY GAMES ABOUT PARKING SPACES AND THEN BACKING OFF ON THE TYPE OF UNITS. >> NO, SIR, WE DON'T HAVE ANY INTENTION OF DOING THAT AND I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM PUTTING THAT IN THERE AS THE DISTRIBUTION THAT WE ARE REQUESTING. AND TAKING IT -- WE WOULD -- WE WOULD DUPLICATE IT IN ANOTHER PORTION AND SAY THE HOUSING DISTRIBUTION WILL BE THIS IN ADDITION TO THE -- >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND THEN WOULD YOU BE MORE BOUND TO DOING IT. AND THEN MY OTHER -- MY LAST QUE. AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR -- FOR YOUR INDULGENCE IS, YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING OF MODIFYING THE OAKELLAR ACCESS POINT. ARE YOU ELIMINATING THE ACCESS TO GO BACK INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD? BECAUSE I KNOW IF I SURE LIVED UP INTO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS PROJECT ISOLATED TO GO IN AND OUT ONLY FROM GANDY AND NOT IN AND OUT THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. >> I SHOWED YOU A PICTURE AND I AM GOING TO GIVE IT TO YOU AGAIN. THE PHOTOGRAPH SHOW THER DRIVEWAY TO THE EAST THAT IS BEING REMOVED. WHERE DID IT GO HERE? MIGHT BE EASIER TO SEE ON THE OVERHEAD DINGFELDER PULL THE MIC TO YOU, STEVE. >> CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? THIS OVERHEAD, CAN YOU SEE IT? THIS IS AN EXISTING DRIVEWAY HERE TO THE EAST. AND IT IS A DOUBLE DRIVEWAY. IT IS VERY, VERY WIDE. THAT DRIVEWAY IS BEING ELIMINATED. AND THEN THE NEXT DRIVEWAY IS DOWN -- DOWN HERE. THIS ONE IS ON THE SITE PLAN THAT I SHOWED YOU. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WHY NOT BUILD THIS WONDERFUL PROJECT AND INGRESS, EGRESS FROM GANDY AND NOT THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I READ SOME OF THE LETTERS OF RECORD THAT MADE REFERENCE OF TRAFFIC THROUGH THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT PLAZA. ON ONE HAND YOU SAY THE PLAZA HAS BEEN A COMPLETE FAILURE AND YOU ARE USING THEIR TRAFFIC NUMBERS LIKES IT IS MAXED OUT AND THE GREATEST EVER AND IN REALITY IT HAS BEEN A FAILURE AND NOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC THROUGHOUT NEIGHBORHOOD FROM THIS PLAZA. WHY NOT BLOCK IT OFF AND GO IN AND OUT THROUGH GANDY? >> I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR YOU. I WOULD HAVE TO DEFER BACK TO JOHN. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I AM SURE WE WILL HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC AND IN THE MEANTIME YOU GUYS CAN PONDER THAT QUESTION. >>RYAN MANASSE: I AM SORRY, CHAIR, BECAUSE IT KIND OF COMES FROM COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER'S QUESTION. THERE WAS SOME ON MR. MICH MICHELINI'S PRESENTATION ABOUT SOME ADDITIONS AND SUBTRACTIONS SUBMITTED.ITE PLAN THAT WAS AND WE CAN TAKE IT ON THE END AND WANTED SOME CLARIFICATION NOW BECAUSE REMOVING EGRESS. AND ON THE SITE PLAN I AM LOOKING AT, THREE ACCESS POINTS ON OAKELLAR AND MAKING THAT CLEAR FROM THE SITE PLAN I REVIEWED AND MY STAFF HAVE REVIEWED THE CIRCULAR DRIVE WHICH CONTAIN TWO ACCESS POINTS ON OAKELLAR AND THEN THE ONE TO THE WEST WHICH IS THE MAIN ACCESS POINT IT APPEARS FOR THE PARKING LOT WITH THE THREE TO E SOUTH AS JONATHAN STATED CROSS-ACCESS POINTS. SORRY CHAIR. WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAD SOME CLARIFICATION ON THAT AND INDULGE US AFTER PUBLIC COMMENT BEFORE WE GO TO FINAL COMMENTS, WHATEVER YOU PREFER. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER, DO YOU WANT TO INFORMATION NOW? >>JOHN DINGFELDER: NO, WE CAN DO IT AFTER PUBLIC COMMENT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYBODY ELSE? MR. MICHELINI. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. I AM CONFUSED ON THE PROJECT. I HEAR A LOT OF WORDS BUT I WANT SOME CLARIFICATION WHAT THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO BE. I HEAR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND MARKET RATE AND HAIRED MICRO -- WHAT IS THE PROJECT? >> START WITH THE MICRO UNITS. THE SMALLER UNITS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO BE MORE AFFORDABLE. THERE ARE OTHER UNITS. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I CAN'T SEE THEM ON THE SCREEN. THANK YOU, SIR. CONTINUE. >> YOU WANT ME TO START OVER? >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES, SIR, YOU CAN. >> MICRO UNITS ARE THE SMALLER -- THEY ARE SMALLER THAN AN EFFICIENCY, BUT THEY ARE DESIGNED TO BE AFFORDABLE. THERE ARE OTHER UNITS THAT ARE LARGER THAN THAT THAT ARE MARKET RATE. THE ONE BEDROOM, THE TWO BEDROOMS AND THE EFFICIENCIES. THOSE ARE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE MICROS. SO YOU HAVE THREE DIFFERENT LEVELS -- ACTUALLY FOUR IF YOU INCLUDE THE TWO BEDROOMS OF -- OF UNIT COUNTS, BUT THE PREDOMINANT NUMBER OF COUNT -- UNITS.OUNT IS IN THE MICR THAT -- SO ANYWAY, THAT IS THE WAY THEY ARE DISTRIBUTED. YOU HAVE 96 STUDIOS WHICH ARE EFFICIENCIES AND THEN YOU HAVE THE 103 WHICH ARE MICROS WHICH ARE THE PREDOMINANT NUMBER OF AFFORDABLE UNITS. AND THEN YOU HAVE THE -- THE ONE AND TWO BEDROOMS WHICH ARE ABOUT 100 UNITS. SO YOU HAE -- YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE LEVEL OF -- OF TYPE OF -- OF APARTMENT THAIS BEING PROVIDED. DID THAT -- I DID ANSWER THAT. WAS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH? >>ORLANDO GUDES: I GET YOU ARE SAYING FOUR DIFFERENT LEVELS -- TYPES OF HOUSING IN THERE, BUT I GUESS I AM LOOKING AT -- YOU KEPT SAYING "MARKET." I GET CONFUSED WITH THE FOUR LEVELS OF MARKET. YOU SAID "AFFORDABLE HOUSING." >> THE MARKET PROVISION ONLY APPLIED TO ONE COMPONENT OF THE DOMINANT NUMBER OF UNITS IN THE WHOLE PROJECT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR. I SEE YOUR LIGHT ON, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I WAS LISTENING TO YOUR CONVERSATION ALONG COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER. YOU TALK OF MARKET RATE, EVERYTHING IS RELEVANT AND I CAN TELL YOU BY MY EXPERIENCE IN SEEING HOMES IN CERTAIN PART OF TOWN AND I AM NOT GOING TO MENTION WHERE THAT THEY ARE DIVIDED INTO TWO TO THREE APARTMENTS, FOUR APARTMENTS AND ONE HOUSE. SOMETIMES THEY GET A CARPORT AND THEY CLOSE THE CARPORT AND CHARGING ANYWHERE FROM $600 TODAY00 FOR CARPORT 9 TO 10 FEET TO FEET AND MAKE A LITLE SHOWER, A LITTLE STOVE, DANGEROUS TO LIVE THAT WAY. AND IT'S -- IT'S HARD TO SEE WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING WITH. AND I SEE WHAT THEY CALL IT MARKET RATE OR AFFORDABLE HOUSING, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. THE NAME IS IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT, YOU CAN MOVE. IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT, YOU CAN'T STAY. I DON'T CARE EAST TAMPA, WEST TAMPA, SOUTH TAMPA, YBOR CITY OR NEW. THE PROBLEM WE HAVE IN SOCIETY THAT NO MATTER IF YOU ARE MAKING $15 AN HOUR, AT THE END OF THE MONTH, IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY, YOU CAN'T MAKE IT. TWO OF YOU WORKING THE FAMILY TO GET BY. AND IT IS SAD TO SAY THAT, BUT THAT'S HOW I VIEW IT. AND I AM NOT TAKING A STEP FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. I AM JUST SAYING THE STATE OF WHAT I SEE FROM MY TWO EYE OR ONE EYE THAT WORKS ANYWAY TO SEE HOW IT IS GOING. WE HAVE A PROBLEM NOT ONLY THIS IN CITY BUT IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY OF AFFORD -- AFFORDABILITY ON MANY THING AND THE MAIN THING IS YOUR DWE DWLINGTO G FROM POINT A AND POINT B. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WHY DON'T WE LISTEN -- >> IF I CAN JUST CLARIFY REAL QUICK. >>ORLANDO GUDES: SAY THAT AGAIN -- >> HI, JOHN LUM HERE. WE PROBABLY SHOULDN'T USE THE WORD AFFORDABLE. ATTAINABLE. AFFORDABLE IS SUCH A BUZZWORD. WHEN THE MAYOR EVEN SAID WE NEED MARKET RATE DEVELOPMENTS FOR MULTIFAMILY HOUSING THAT ARE NOT GOVERNMENT-SUBSIDIZED A THAT IS -- THE ONLY SMALL AND AFFORDABLE-PRICED JUNK RATE, RENT RATE APARTMENTS HAVE TO BE SUBSIDIZED BY THE GOVERNMENT. WHEN SEA SAY MARKET RATE, THE MARKET WILL DICTATE HOW MUCH PEOPLE WILL PAY FOR 450- 450-SQUARE-FOOT TINY HOUSE IN THE SKY. AND AS MY PARTNER SAID, PEOPLE UNDER $1200 A MONTH HAVE TO LEAVE THIS AREA. THEY HAVE TO MOVE TO ST. PETE OR GO UP NORTH. THERE IS NO PLACES FOR THEM TO LIVE. AND WE ARE JUST TRYING TO PROVIDE SOMEWHERE FOR FOLKS TO BE ABLE TO LIVE IN THE URBAN CORE HERE BECAUSE THE LAND DOWNTOWN AND EVERYWHERE ELSE IS TOO EXPENSIVE AND YOU GOT TO CHARGE $2,000, $1800 A MONTH FOR RENT EVERYWHERE AND I HOPE THAT CLARIFIES THINGS GOOU GUDES THANK YOU FOR YOUR -- >>ORLANDO GUDES: THOUGHT FOR YOUR XHEENTS, SIR. GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 20 PEOPLE TO SPEAK US TO THIS EVENING. HOW MANY DO WE HAVE REMOTELY, MADAM CLERK? >>CLERK: WE HAD 21 SPEAKERS. >>ORLANDO GUDES: 21 SPEAKERS. ALL RIGHT, GENTLEMEN, THAT IS GOING TO BE A MINUTE SO I WOULD ASK WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE A QUICK LITTLE RECESS BECAUSE WE WILL BE SITTING FOR A WHILE. >> HOW MANY PEOPLE IN PERSON? >>JOHN DINGFELDER: 20 AND 20. >>ORLANDO GUDES: 20 AND 20. SO FIVE MINUTES -- TAKE A FIVE-MINUTE RECESS, GENTLEMEN. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HERE. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: HERE. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: HERE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: HERE. >>CLERK: WE HAVE A PHYSICAL QUORUM PRESENT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU. GO WITH IN-PERSON ON SECOND FLOOR. >> THIS IS JANE MAD O, THERE ARE TEN PEOPLE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. THEY HAVE BEEN SWORN IN. >> MR. CHAIR. >> YOU ARE RECOGNIZE. >> SORRY -- I WANT TO MAKE THE CORRECTION. LOOKING AT THE PARKING CALCULATIONS ON THE PROVIDED SITE PLAN. I WANT TO SHOW ON THE RECORD 345 RESIDENTIAL UNITS NOT 313. JUST BEFORE WE GO INTO PUBLIC COMMENT SO COUNCIL IS AWARE OF THAT A DISCREPANCY IN THE PARKING CALCULATIONS. CALCULATIONS BEING PROVIDED ARE FOR 305 DWELLING UNITS. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THA YOU MR. MANASSE. GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT. >> I CAN'T TELL IF YOU CAN SEE ME. >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE CAN HEAR YOU AND SEE YOU. >> PAMLY ELKINTON ON THE ROAD WHERE THEY WANT TO BUILD THIS. SEVERAL PROBLEM AND THE MAJOR PROBLEM IS THE TRAFFIC AND SAFETY PROBLEM FOR THE COMMUNITY. WHEN THEY COME OUT ON OAKELLER, THAT THE ONLY WAY WE HAVE BEEN LET KNOW THAT THEY ARE COMING OUT FROM THIS COMMUNITY AND IT IS ALREADY BACKED UP BECAUSE RIGHT NEXT DOOR IS THE POST OFFICE THEY DIDN'T TALK ABOUT AND THEY ALREADY HAD A LOT OF TRUCKS THAT GO TO THE POST OFFICE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT GO TO THAT POST OFFICE AND A LOT OF TRAFFIC ALREADY. AND THEY ARE GOING TO BE SHOOTING THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY TO GO OUT OTHER WAYS BECAUSE WHEN OAKELLAR BACKS OFF GO TO ALL THE SIDE STREETS. I HAVE BEEN HIT ON THE CORNER OF CORTEZ AND THE NEXT BLOCK OVER IS COACHMAN. T-BONED HIT BY SOMEONE COMING FROM THE POST OFFICE. NOT LIKE WE DON'T ALREADY HAVE ISSUES IN THE COMMUNITY AND DOWN THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE -- PARKING SPOTS FOR THEIR PEOPLE. ACCORDING TO WHAT IAW AND LISTENING TO THE CONVERSATION, IT IS CONFUSING TO THE FINAL NUMBERS OF A LOT OF THINGS AND WHAT THEIR FINAL THINGS ARE, BUT FROM WHAT I SAW AGAIN WHAT I WORKED DOWN 313 UNITS, DOUBLE OBJECTING PAN TEE, 347 PEOPLE IF THERE ARE NO VEHICLES. AND WANT TO DOWN THE AMOUNT OF PARKING SPOTS SO THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO PARK OUT IN OUR COMMUNITY. THEY WANT TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL WAY FOR PEOPLE TO GET AROUND, THE REALITY IS TO GO PLACES IN TAMPA, THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A CAR. MOST PPLE WL HAVE A CAR AND 347 PEOPLE COMING OUT OF THAT. THERE HAS BEEN NO INDICATION OF IT BEING ABLE TO GO OUT THE GANDY WAY AT ALL. SO THE ONLY WAY OUT WHETHER THEY ELIMINATE THE DRIVEWAY THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT OR NOT THEY ARE STILL COMING OUT THE SAME WAY AS THE SAME SIDE STREET IN OUR COMMUNITY. AND IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA, THERE ARE ALREADY BIG UNITS ALL THE WAY AROUND THE WHOLE COMMUNITY. THERE ARE -- I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE THIS CAN'T SEE IT TOO GOOAND I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO ADJUST IT. THE CIRCLE SPOT IS WHERE THEY WANT TO BUILD. THE POST OFFICE AND OAKELLAR AND ARMS HAVE 28 UNITS. FOUR STORIES. BRANDY CHASE APARTMENTS WITH 56 UNITS. I AM JUST TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE THERE. IT'S A TWO-STORY. SOUTH ON MANHATTAN RIGHT ACROSS GANDY, 287 UNITS, IT IS THREE STORIES. IN THE CORNER OF GANDY AND WEST SHORE, A T OF STUFF BEING BUILT OVER THERE. ON THE 2040 PLAN, THAT IS ACTUALLY TOWARD THE RED COLOR. THERE IS SO MUCH BEING BUILT AND OVER HERE IS THE GEORGETOWN WHICH IS RIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE. THEY WANT TO BUILD HERE. OAKELLAR AND THE NEXT SIDE STREET WHICH IS COACHMAN AND FAIR OAKS. WE ALREADY HAVE A LOT OF TRAFFIC GOING FROM FAIR OAKS BACK AND FORTH FROM MANISCALCO TO WEST SHORE. THIS IS GOING TO ADD A HUGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND WEST SHORE IS ONLY ONE LANE GOING BOTH W WAYS THEY WILL BE SHOOTING THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, MA'AM. IS MY TIME UP? >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. >> OKAY. >>ORLANDO GUDES: STATE YOUR NAME SIR. >> CAN YOU SEE ME? >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES, SIR, I CAN SEE YOU. >> MY NAME IS MICHAEL BEARD OWN BREWING COMPANY 645 WEST GANDY BOULEVARD. I WOULD LIKE TO COME OUT IN OPPOSITION OF THIS REZONING. I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY A FEW THINGS THAT WERE SAID ABOUT ME AND MY BUSINESS. AND JUST GIVE MY GENERAL OPINION OF WHAT THIS REZONING WOULD TO DO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. FIRST OFF, MR. GREASE SAID I SOMEHOW VILIFIED HIM IN THE MEDIA OR ONLINE. THIS IS NOT TRUE IN ANY WAY. I HAVE MADE NO PUBLIC STATEMENTS ABOUT HIM WHAT WHATSOEVER. SIMPLY POSTED A SIGN FOR THE REZONING, WHICH WAS PUBLIC RECORD AND SAID IF ANYONE HAS ANY OPINIONS ABOUT THIS, HERE IS WHEN AND WHERE YOU CAN MAKE THOSE STATEMENTS KNOWN. SECOND, MY BUSINESS IS ABSOLUTELY THRIVING. IN 2020, WE WON THE BEST LARGE BREWERY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AT THE BEST FLORIDA BEER CHAMPIONSHIPS. [APPLAUSE] SORRY -- 2020 WAS OBVIOUSLY A BIT OF A SETBACK FOR THE ENTIRE BAR INDUSTRY, BUT PREVIOUS TO THAT WE HAVE GROWN BY DOUB DOUBLE-DIGIT REVENUE EVERY YEAR YEAR-OVER-YEAR. 2021 LOOKS TO BE THE BEST YEAR ON RECORD EVER. WHEN THE CRAFT BEER MARKET O LARGE SHRUNK 90%, MY VOLUMESHIP WENT UP 27% YEAR-OVER-YEAR. SO WE ARE ONE OF THE BEST BREWERIES IN THE STATE. WE ARE THRIVING BOTH FINA FINANCIALLY AND AS OUR BRAND. AND WE HAVE NO PLANS WHATSOEVER TO MOVE UNLESS FORCED TO DO SO SOMEHOW, WHICH I DON'T SEE IS A POSSIBILITY IN REALITY SEEING HOW WE BELIEVE WE HAVE AN ENFORCEABLE LEASE FOR 15 MORE YEARS. LASTLY, WE ARE A BIT OF A COMMUNITY CENTER FOR SOUTH TAMPA. PEOPLE COME IN. WE HAVE FUNDRAISERS FOR THE LOCAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, PTA. WE HAVE A BOOK CLUB. WE DO LOCAL TRIVIA AND 90% OF MY CUSTOMERS IN THE TAP ROOM ARE THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO VERY FAR TO FIND A 5,000-SQUARE-FOOT PLACE TO MEET WITH THEIR FRIENDS FAMILY COLLEAGUES. AND IF YOU TAKE THAT TYPE OF BUSINESS AWAY FROM THIS NEIGHBORHOOD AND YOU PUT IN A LOT MORE PEOPLE, YOU ARE NOT ONLY ENSURING THAT THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE ON THE ROAD, YOU ARE ENSURING THAT EVERYONE AROUND US HAVE TO DRIVE A LOT FARTHER TO CONGREGATE WITH THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND I THINK THAT IS A MAJOR MISTAKE FOEVERNE. THAT IS ABOUT ALL I HAVE TO S SAY. I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING PRE PREPARED. I WANTED TO COME OUT IN OPPOSITION OF THIS REZONING AND KIND OF SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT FOR WHO WE WERE AND WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO THERE. AS FAR AS THIS BEING A FAILED RETAIL CENTER, IF YOU LOOK THROUGH SOME OF THE LITIGATION THAT IS PUBLIC RECORD THAT HAS THIS ADDRESS ON IT. YOU MIGHT COME TO DIFFERENT CONCLUSION THAN THE LOCATION IS THE REASON FOR A FAILED RETAIL RETAIL ENTER OR THE TENANTS ARE THE REASON FOR THE FAILED RETAIL CENTER. YOU LOOK THROUGH THOSE DOCUMENTS I WILL LET YOU DRAW YOUR OWNONCLION FOR THEM AND A GREAT SITE FOR RETAIL. WHY I MOVED FROM SAN DIEGO, ONE OF THE BREWERY CAPITALS OF THE WORLD TO OPEN A BREWERY HERE BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS SUCH A GREAT LOCATION TO OPEN A TAP ROOM AND START A GREAT BREWERY WHICH WE HAVE DONE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, HAVE A GREAT NIGHT. [APPLAUSE] >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MAYBE THEY HAVE BEEN SAMPLING A LITTLE BIT. [ LAUGHTER ] >> OKAY. GOOD EVENING, COUNCILMEN. HOW IS EVERYONE DOING. SHAWN BROWN, PRESIDENT OF THE GANDY CIVIC ASSOCIATION. FIRST REAL QUICK, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO COUNCILMAN CARLSON. DOESN'T WANT TO SPENDS YOUR BIRTHDAY HERE ON A THURSDAY. THANKS FOR WHAT YOU DO AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY. COMING OUT HERE TO OBJECT TO THIS CRAZY PROPOSAL, TO BE QUITE FRANK. FIRST OFF, THE THOUGHT OF 100,000 COMMERCIAL SQUARE FEET GOING AWAY -- THAT IS TAKING AWAY JOBS. WHEN YOU LOOKT HERE ON THE ELMO, YOU -- ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT MIXED USE CORRIDOR, TALKS ABOUT-TO-CREATE NEW HOUSING AND JOB OPPORTUNITIES WHILE IMPROVING THE PEDESTRIAN ENVIRONMENT. NOW LET ME BE BLUNT. THE FACT THAT THEY ARE RE-ORIENTING THIS WHOLE PROJECT IS TO AVOID GANDY BOULEVARD AS A MIXED USE CORRIDOR. THE REQUIREMENTS OF A MIXED USE CORRIDOR. THEY ARE TRYING TO AVOID THAT BY PUTTING IT ON OAKELLAR. AND THE TRANSPORTATION STUDY TRAFFIC REDUCED ON GANDY IF IT IS NOT COMMERCIAL. THEY DIDN'T GF OAKELLAR AT ALL AND HOW THE TRAFFIC WILL INCREASE. IDIOTIC IN AND OF ITSELF. THEY ARE TRYING TO AVOID GANDY AND AVOID THE REQUIREMENTS ON THAT, ALL RIGHT. WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS, AGAIN, IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, LOOKING AT PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT WHEN YOU LOOK AT LAND USE POLICY 6 6.1.1 AND THE OBJECTIVES, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, IT TALKS ABOUT TRANSIT. YOU KNOW, TRYING TO INCORPORATE THINGS. ALL THESE POLICIES ARE TALKING ABOUT TRANSIT. LET ME PUT SOMETHING OUT THERE AND RIND ALL OF YOU, NO HART BUSLINE THAT GOES ALONG CANDY WHATSOEVER. NOTHING. SO HOW IS IT -- GANDY WHATSOEVER. NOTHING. SO HOW IS IT SMART TO PUT 800 UNITS WHEN THERE IS NO BUS L LINE. HART SCHEDULE. THE ONLY BUS SOUTH OF EUCLID IS DOWN MANHATTAN. NO BUS LINE ON GANDY, NOTHING OF THAT SORT WHATSOEVER. SO, AGAIN, THE REASON THE PROJECT IS PROPOSED THE WAY IT IS TO AVOID THE REQUIREMENTS OF GANDY. AND IT BEING CLASSIFIED AS A MIXED USE CORRIDOR. BUT IT IS LACKING IN THAT SEE BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, HART HAVEN'T PUT ANYTHING OUT THERE AS FAR AS IT BEING A BUS ROUTE. IN ADDITION, THE IS, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS PROJECT. IN 2008 WYNN DIXIE WENT BANKRUPT. ALL OF WYNN DIXIE SO GROCERY STORE CLOSED. LOOK AT AESTHETICS OF THIS PROPERTY. IT HAVEN'T BEEN MAINTAINED AT ALL. YES, IT MAY BE DETERRING RETAIL AND PUT UPGRADES AND THINGS LIKE THAT YOU WOULD PROBABLY GET COMMERCIAL IN FLORIDA. WE NEED COMMERCIAL. LOOK, THEY CAN DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS. THIS IS THE MORRISON ON THE ELMO RHT HERE ON HOWARD, RIGHT HERE. APARTMENTS ON TOP. ALL THAT COMMERCIAL IS FULL AT THE BOTTOM INCLUDING A SMALL PILATES GYM AND THINGS LIKE THAT. RIGHT THERE ON HOWARD AND HOWARD IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THOSE TRANSIT CORRIDORS AND ANOTHER PROJECT DOWN HOWARD, APARTMENTS ON THE TOP AND COMMERCIAL ON BOTTOM. ONE OF THESE FOLKS SAID THE APPLEBEE'S ON THE PROPERTY WILL BLOCK THE OPPORTUNITY FOR IT TO BE SEEN. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, MR. BRAWN. >> THANK YOU, GUYS. I APPRECIATE IT. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. >> GOOD EVENING. >> I AM KEN CHAPMAN AND I AM AN ATTORNEY AND REPRESENT GRACE CHURCH WHO IS THE PROPERTY OWNER IN THE PLAZA. I'M HERE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION WH I FOUND KIND OFPLICATION. INTERESTING IN LISTENING TO THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF INFORMATION THAT HAS BEEN OMITTED. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: CAN YOU GO CLOSER TO THE MIC, SIR. >> CERTAINLY, MY APOLOGIES. PROBABLY WHAT NEEDS TO BE POINTED OUT, TECHNICAL ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. ONE IS THAT TE APPLICANT'S OWNERSHIP INTEREST IS BEING CHALLENGED. ANOTHER PARTY IS CONTESTING WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE A PRIOR RIGHT TO OWN THE PROPERTY VIS-A-VIS A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. THE LAWSUIT IS PENDING AND SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE COUNCIL MAKES A DECISION ON THE APPLICATION. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT IS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT A SET OF DECLARATIONS AND COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS THAT APPLY TO THE PLAZA. THIS IN AND OF ITSELF OF ALL PROPERTY INCLUDING THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY FOR RETAIL OPERATIONS. ASKING FOR A ZONING CHANGE TO RESIDENTIAL VIOLATE THOSE PROVISIONS. THEY DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THAT. THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE. ON A PRAC CYCLE LEVEL, 586 TOTAL PARKING SPACES IN THE PLAZA. PARKING SPACES ARE SRED AMONG ALL OWNERS IN THE PLAZA. 300 THAT ARE ALLOCATED TO MY CLIENT FOR ITS SERVICES. 437 PROPOSED FOR THE PROJECT THAT LEAVES 737 TOTAL PARKING SPACE REQUIRED 151 PARKING SPACES. PHYSICALLY THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR TO GO FORWARD AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IN THE BASIS OF DENYING THE APPLICATION. CITY STAFF IS ACTUALLY POINTED OUT IT IS INCONSISTENT CURRENT CODE AND PLAN REQUIREMENTS. THE APPROVAL WILL ESSENTIALLY WIND UP SHUTTING DOWN THE OTHER OWNERS IF THEY WERE ALLOWED TO SEQUESTER 300 PARKING SPACES AND USED FOR THE RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX. THE OTHER THING I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE ARE SOME COMMUNITY ISSUES HERE RELATED TO THIS. THE TRAFFIC AND PARKING PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED FOR THIS COUNCIL LAST MONTH. IN FACT, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, APPROVAL FOR DRAFTING A PROPOSAL TO LIMIT PROJECTS JUST LIKE THIS. HIGH DENSITY APARTMENT COMPLEXES. SO ESSENTIALLY, TO ENTERTAIN THE ZONING APPLICATION IN AND OF ITSELF LIES IN WHAT THE COUNCIL IS TRYING TO ACHIEVE OTHERWISE. BASICALLY LOOKING AT THIS FROM ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE, THIS IS ACTUALLY GOING TO HARM THE COMMUNITY. HURT THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE RETAIL, RESTAURANT, AND OTHER SER SERVICE-TYPE INDUSTRIES THAT CAN ACTUALLY MOVE INTO THESE UNITS THAT ARE EXISTING HERE NOW VERSUS TURNING THEM INTO RESIDENTIAL UNITS. THE ISSUE RIGHT NOW IS WE ARE SUFFERING FROM THE EFFECT OF COVID NOT JUST THE TRAGIC LOSS OF LIFE, BUT ALSO A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF JOBS AND EMPLOYMENT. WITH THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSE SOMETHING TO ESSENTIALLY GO IN. RAZE A BUILDING. CALL 81 BREWING COMPANY TO SHUT DOWN, FIRE THEIR EMPLOYEES -- >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR. ONE MOMENT, I SEE A LIGHT ON. MR. MIRANDA? >> PARDON? >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. MIRANDA, I SAW YOUR LIGHT. YOU WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED? MR. DINGFELDER, YOU WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES, SIR. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU WERE WRAPPING UP THE PRESENTATION. >> I HAVE ONE OTHER POINT IF I CAN ASK FOR THE COUNCIL'S INDULGENCE? >> QUICKLY -- I BELIEVE I AM THE LAST SPEAR TH EVENING. I UNDERSTAND SOME QUESTION FOR THE COUNCIL IN ACCESSING GANDY BOULEVARD. THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THE APPLICANT DOESN'T OWN THAT RIGHT. THEY DON'T OWN THAT PROPERTY. THAT IS AN EASEMENT THAT IS PROVIDED THROUGH THE DECLARATIONS. IF THE DECLARATIONS ARE HONORED AND UTILIZED WITH THE PUMP TO PROVIDING ACCESS WITH GANDY HAS TO BE RESPECTED WITH THE FACT THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPERATE A PROJECT THAT IS NOT RETAIL. NOW THE EXCEPTION TO THAT WOULD BE THEY WOULD HAVE TO GET CONSENT BY MY CLIENT, WHO OWNS PARCEL A WITHIN THE PLAZA. THAT IS THE ONLY BASIS WHERE AN OPERATION OR ACTIVITY OTHER THAN RETAIL CAN BE PERMITTED WITHIN THE PLAZA ITSELF. SO BEFORE THE APPLICANT CAN MOVE FORWARD, THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GET PASS -- AND GET MY CLIENTS APPROVAL AND CONSENT WHICH IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AND WILL NOT HAPPEN BASED ON THE CURRENT PLANS PROPOSED, BASED ON THE FOREGOING WE WILL ASK FOR THE COUNCIL TO DECLINE THE ACTION FOR REZONING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. [APPLAUSE] >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER, U ARE RECOGNIZED. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: COUNSELOR, I AM CONFUSED BUT I THINK YOU CLARIFIED IT A LITTLE BIT. FROM -- FROM THE OAKELLAR NEIGHBORHOOD PERSPECTIVE, TAKE -- TAKE YOUR CHURCH HAT OFF FOR A SECOND. FROM THE OAKELLAR NEIGHBORHOOD PERSPECTIVE, I THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER AND ASSUMING THEY HAD THE LEGAL RIGHT AND THE CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS TO BUILD THIS APARTMENT COMPLEX, I WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER NOT TO ROUTE THE TRAFFIC THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THAT IS JUST AS A COUNCILMAN. I WOULD RATHER SEE IT GO IN AND OUT OF GANDY BOULEVARD. BUT MY QUESTION IS, AND THIS IS SORT OF A LEGAL QUESTION TO YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE LOOKED AT ALL THESE DOCUMENTS. DO THEY HAVE ACCESS ACROSS THAT PARKING LOT RIGHT NOW TO GET TO GANDY. THAT IS MY BASIC QUESTION. >> YES, THEY DO. THERE IS -- THERE IS A CROSS EASEMENT AGREEMENT THAT ALLOWS ALL THE OWNERS WITHIN THE PLAZA TO UTILIZE ACCESS TO AND FROM THE RIGHT-OF-WAYS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PARCEL. BUT THE ISSUE WE ARE LOOKING AT IS NOT JUST THE EASEMENT. IF 300 OF THE 584 PARKING SPACES ARE SEQUESTERED. THAT DOESN'T LEAVE ENOUGH PARKING FOR ANY OTHER BUSINESS TO OPERATE. THE CONCERN THAT WE HAVE IS IF -- IF THAT IS PERMITTED, THEN MY CLIENT WON'T HAVE REQUISITE NUMBER OF PARKING TO OPERATE ITS ACTIVITIES AS A PLACE OF WORSHIP. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: RIGHT. >> THEN IT HAS TO SHUT DOWN. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MY CONCERN IS EVEN THOUGH IT SOUNDS LIKE AN IMPORTANT ISSUE FROM YOUR CLIENT'S PERSPECTIVE, IF I ASK MISS WELLS OUR ATTORNEY WATCHING, SHE IS PROBABLY GOING TO TELL US THAT THAT IS AN ISSUE BETWEEN PRIVATE PARTIES AND THE COUNCIL CAN'T NECESSARILY INCLUDE IN THEIR ZONING CONSIDERATION. MR. WELLS ARE WOULD YOU LIKE TO COMMENT ON THAT. >>CATE WELLS: THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, A FEW THINGS MENTIONED WITH RESPECT TO THE ALLEGATIONS THERE IS A QUESTION OF OWNERSHIP. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME HEARING OF THAT. BUT IF THERE IS A QUESTION ABOUT OWNERSHIP AND IT IS UNCLEAR WHO IS THE APPROPRIATE PARTY TO BE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS APPLICATION, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM MR. MICHELINI ON THAT ISSUE. WITH RESPECT TO THE PRIVATE COVENANTS, YOU ARE CORRECT, THOSE ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE BY THE CITY AND WOULD BE BEYOND THE REACH FOR CITY COUNCIL DURING TODAY'S MEETING. WITH REGARD TO THE PARKING SPACES, THIS SITE PLAN THAT IS SUBMITTED TO YOU MUST BE A SITE PLAN -- MUST INCLUDE ONLY THAT PROPERTY THAT IS WITHIN THE APPLICANT'S OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL. >> THAT IS EXACTLY CORRECT. >>CATE WELLS: THEY ARE SHOWING PARKING FOR THIS PROJECT THAT IS SHARED WITH ANOTHER USE. THAT NEEDS FURTHER DISCUSSION WITH OUR STAFF. BECAUSE IT WOULD -- I DON'T KNOW HOW WE COULD MOVE FORWARD WITH A SITE PLAN THAT INCLUDES PROPERTY THAT PERHAPS IS -- IS OWNED BY ANOTHER ENTITY THAT HAS NOT CONSENTED TO THIS APPLICATION. SO A YOU FEW QUESTIONS PROCEDURALLY OF HOW WE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS BASED ON THIS TESTIMONY. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MISS WELLS. THANK YOU, COUNSELOR. >> THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: AND COUNSEL, WITH PENDING LITIGATION WITH THIS PROPERTY AND HOPEFULLY WILL GET INFORMATION FROM MR. MICHELINI. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP. >> DID YOU WANT ME TO RESPOND TO THIS, COUNCILMAN? >>ORLANDO GUDES: I WILL WAIT FOR REBUTTAL AND GET THROUGH THE PUBLIC COMMENT AND GET TO IT. >> OKAY, TT IS FINE. >> NO MORE PERSONS HERE AT THIS MOMENT. GUDES NO MORE PERSONS? OKAY. WE WILL GO TO REBUTTAL. MR. MICHELINI. >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOU HAVE THE ONLINE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I AM SORRY ABOUT THAT. I FORGOT. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WISHFUL THINKING. >>ORLANDO GUDES: LET'S GO TO THE PHONE LINE. >> CHAIR, I AM CURRENTLY BRINGING FIVE OVER AT A TIME BECAUSE WE HAVE QUITE A FEW. >>ORLANDO GUDES: KAY, SWEAR THOSE KNIFE AT A TIME THEN. >>CLERK: I NEED KEVIN FREEDY, LARRY GISBERT, STEPHANIE POYNTE, SARAH FREEDY TO TURN ON YOUR MIC AND TURN ON YOUR VI VIDEO. >>ORLANDO GUDES: WAITING FOR ONE MORE, DEPUTY CLERK. >>CLERK: PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM YOU WILL TELL THE TRUTH THEHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH FOR THE RECORD, THE CLERK DID RECEIVE WRITTEN COMMENTS FOR THIS ITEM. >>ORLANDO GUDES: START WITH KEVIN FREEDY. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. CAN YOU HEAR ME? >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES, SIR. >> IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR IMAGE 2040 MAP OF TAMPA, THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION IS QUOTED FOR -- CODED FOR HIGH INTENSITY SUBURBAN AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NORTH IS CODED ESTABLISHED. I WOULD ARGUE A FOUR-STORY BUILDING WITH 300 UNITS, MOST OF THEMICRO FACING OAK WE WE WILLER IS NOT IN KEEPING WITH THE CITY PLAN FOR HIGH INTENSITY SUBURBAN. ORIENTED A STRUCTURE IN SUCH A WAY TO DIRECT TRAFFIC INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE NORTH IS NOT IN KEEPING WITH THE CITY PLAN FOR ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD. HIGH INTENSITY SUBURBAN IS NOTED FOR LOW-RISE BUILDINGS. SO THERE IS SOME OPPORTUNITY FOR MID-RISE STRUCTURES, THESE ARE THE EXCEPTIONS RATHER THAN THE RULE. THERE IS A LIMITED TRANSIT AVAILABILITY. SO THE ASSUMPTION BE THAT THE COMPLEX SHOULD NOT HAVE THE WAIVER GNTEDOR PKING. YOUR PLAN CALLS FOR PLANTABLE SPACES. AND YET THE DEVELOPER IS ASKING TO REDUCE BY APPROXIMATELY HALF THE AREA PROPOSED JUST THE OPPOSITE. IN ITS THREE YEARS OF EXISTENCE 81 BREWERY HAVE BECOME A PLACE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD LIVING ROOM A PLACE TO MEET FOR NEIGHBORS AND TALK TO THE COMMUNION. IF YOU MAKE WAY FOR THE PROPOSAL WE WILL LOSE THIS VALUABLE SPACE IN THIS REZONING -- THAT THE FIRER IN THE ZONING HAVE OPENLY DISPARAGED. WHAT WOULD THE RESIDENTS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD GAIN? I SENT YOU A PARKING MAP. THE PROPOSED BUILDING IS SET CLOSE TO RESIDENT HOWSER AND OAKELLAR DESPITE THE ADDRESS. PUSHES THE STRUCTURE ABOUT 100 FEET FROM A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME. CURRENT OCCUPANT IS 90 YEARS OLD. WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS CREATING -- IF YOU ALLOW THIS BUILDING A SITUATION RIFE FOR CONFLICT. MUCH OF THE 4600 OF CORTEZ AND HESPIRIDES IS FURTHER THAN THE PARKING SPACE WHICH IS 300 FEET AWAY. THE STAPLE CAN BE SAID FOR THE BANK OF AMERICA, CVS AND GRACE FAMILY CHURCH LOT, THREE WONDERFUL CORPORATE NEIGHBORS, I MIGHT ADD. AND ALSO OAKELLAR AVENUE AND THE ACCESS ROAD CONNECTING OAKELLAR TO CVS. THIS WILL PROVIDE INCENTIVES FOR RESIDENTS TO PARK IN THE NEIGHBORING RETAIL AND RESIDENTIAL STREETS AND I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THESE RESIDENTIAL STREETS NORTH, UTH, HAVE NO SIDEWALKS. SO WHILE THE REST OF THE CITY -- MUCH OF THE REST OF THE CITY IS GETTING BIKE LANES BECAUSE OF THE MAYOR'S PLAN, WE ARE GOING TO GET LOTS AND LOTS OF PARKING FROM THESE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS, WHICH WILL FORCE OUR KIDS TO WALK NOT ON THE CURB WHERE THEY CURRENTLY WALK BUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. 9 DEVELOPER IS ASKING FOR THREE THINGS. WANT TO ZONED FROM COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL. THEY WANT FEWER PARKING SPACES. THEY WANT LESS GREEN SPACES. NONE GO WITH YOUR PROPOSED PLAN. ALL OF THIS HURTS THE NEIGHBOROD. THIS IS A PROPOSAL THAT YOU SHOULD EASILY OBJECT. IF YOU APPROVE IT, YOU ARE GIVING DEVELOPERS A SIGN THAT ANYTHING CAN GO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU, SIR. LARRY GISPERT. UNMUTE YOURSELF. WE CAN'T HEAR YOU. WILL YOU UNMUTE YOURSELF. >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE CAN'T HEAR YOU AT ALL. >>CLERK: CLICK THE MICROPHONE. THE RED MICROPHONE ON THE PA PANEL. >>ORLANDO GUDES: SHE NEEDS TO YOU CLICK THE RED MICROPHONE ON THE PANEL. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SEE THE MICROPHONE ON THE COMPUTER. >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE WILL COME BACK TO HIM. TO STEPHANIE POYNTER. [INAUDIBLE] >> GOOD EVENING, MY FRIENDS. >>ORLANDO GUDES: GOOD EVENING. >> I AM GOING TO START AT THE END OF MY SPEECH, BECAUSE I THINK THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT IS AFFORDABLE. AND I HAD A LESSON WITH A FRIEND OF MINE FROM LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY WHO IS CONSIDERED AN EXPERT BY HUD. AND SHE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE WAY THEY CALCULATE AFFORDABLE HOUSING ACCORDING TO HUD IS TO TAKE 80% OTHE MEDIAN INCOME. THE MEDIAN INCOME FOR BAYSHORE WST WHICH IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH THIS LOCATION IS THIS IS AROUND $48,000. YOU REDUCE THAT TO $38,140. THEN YOU TAKE 30% OF THAT 80% AND THAT IS HOW YOU CALCULATE HOW MUCH AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNIT CAN COST. BUT IT MUST INCLUDE UTILITIES. SO FOR THAT PARTICULAR AREA, ACCORDING TO CENSUS DATA, $ $953.50 IS WHAT AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING SHOULD COST INCLUDING UTILITIES -- DON'T LEAVE THOSE UTILITIES OUT. SO WHATEVER MR. MICHELINI AND MR. LUM COME BACK WITH, IT BETTER BE LESS THAN $900 A MONTH AT LEAST. ANYWAY, LET ME GET BACK TO MY ORIGINAL TASK. STOP OVERBUILDING MONSTER APARTMENTS IN SOUTH TAMPA. I SAID IT BEFORE. I WILL SAY IT AGAIN. YES, I KNOW THIS ISN'T SOUTH OF GANDY, BUT IT CERTAINLY IS CLOSE ENOUGH FOR GOVERNMENT WORK. SPEAKING OF THE GOVERNMENT, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SAYS ON PAGE 14 AND 15 THAT SOUTH TAMPA IS DEFINED AS AN AREA OF STAYABILITY. SOUTH TAMPA NEEDS MORE SUSTAINABLE MIX OF USES THAT PROVIDE GOODS AND SERVICES WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF RESIDENTS ALONG THE COMMERCIAL DESIGNATED CORRIDORS IS ANOTHER WAY TO ENHANCE NEIGHBORHOOD LIVABLE -- LIVABILITY AND STABILITY. YELLE YET HERE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT -- YET HERE WE ARE, TALKING ABOUT TEARING DOWN SOMETHING THAT FOLKS ARE BEGGING FOR IN ORDER TO PACIFY A DEVELOP OTHER WANTS TO DO SOMETHING FOR OUR COMMUNITY WE ARE VEHEMENTLY AGAINST. STOP BUILDING MONSTER APARTMENT SOUTH TAMPA. I KNOW THE LAWS ABOUT LANDOWNER RIGHTS. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE LANDOWNERS IN BAY SIDE WEST. WHAT ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS WHEN YOU JAM 305, 313, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE INTO A SPACE OF 6.687 WITH SUPPOSEDLY THREE EXITS. THIS IS WHAT THE PAPERWORK SAYS. I DIDN'T MAKE THIS UP. THOSE THREE -- ARE GOING TO BE. SORRY? OAKELLAR, MANHATTAN AND GANDY. I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING BUT OAKELLAR ON THEIR SITE PLANS. OAKELLAR IS A LOCAL ROAD. THIS PROJECT WILL BE SHOT DOWN IF IT WASN'T THROUGH THE NORMAL ZONING PROCESS. IT WOULD NEVER GET TO THIS POINT IF IT WERE -- IF IT WERE IN A REGULAR ZONING PROCESS. ONO GANDY FROM THAT PROPERTY. MANHATTAN. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, MR. POYNTER. >> PLEASE, PLEASE LET ME FI FINISH. PLEASE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: TEN SECONDS. TEN SECONDS. >> YOU ARE TAKING YOUR LIFE IN YOUR HANDS GOING NORTH ON MANHATTAN. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WILL GO THROUGH TO MANHATTAN. MR. SCOTT ONLY ASKED FOR THE EASEMENT TO BE UPLOADED ON THE ACELA FOR GANDY. HE DID NOT ASK FOR THE EASEMENT WHERE THE EXIT ON TO -- ON TO MANHATTAN. SO WHERE IS THE EASEMENT GOING TO BE? CITY OF TAMPA OWNS THE LAND. BANK OF AMERICA OWNS THE LAND. AND CVS OWNS THE LAND. NOBODY SHOWS WHERE THEY WILL GET OUT ON MANHATTAN. PLEASE LET'S HEAR IT FROM MR. MICHELINI AND MR. LUM. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU. >> LARRY GIFFORD. I HAVE MICROPHONE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: SIR, WE WILL HEAR FROM YOU. >> ARE YOU READY? >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES, SIR, I AM READY. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MY NAME IS LARRY GISPERT, MY WIFE SHIRLEY AND I LIVE AT CORTEZ AVENUE AND LIVE THERE R OV 31 YEARS. THE PROPERTY INDICATED IN THE PROPERTY FOR REZONING IS LESS THAN 150 FEET FROM MY FRONT DOOR. NOW I SENT IN A TWO-PAGE E-MAIL WITH ALL MY ISSUES BUT BECAUSE OF TIME I WILL TRY SUMMARIZE. I HAVE THREE ISSUES. THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD HURRICANE EVACUATION, THE USE OF OAKELLAR AND ALSO LOCALIZED FLOODING. THE CURRENT CITY OF TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, ALSO CALLED IMAGINE 2040. THAT IS A GREAT NAME, STATES THAT THE OBJECTIVE OF THE CITY IS TO THE TO INCREASE THE DENSITY OF THE POPULATION RESIDING WANT COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA ALSO KNOWN AS HURRICANE EVACUATION LEVEL A. THE ENTIRE PROPERTY FOR THE REZONING APPLICATION LIES IN THAT AREA. I SPEND A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MY PROFESSIONAL TIME WITH HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AS THEIR DIRECTOR FOR 17 YEARS TRYING TO CONVINCE PEOPLE TO EVACUATE OUT OF THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA. LET ME TELL YOU MY BATTING AVERAGE WAS NOT THAT GREAT. THEY DON'T WANT TO LEAVE. THIS THING OF FIVE DAY PRIORY VENT AND COUNTING DOWN. THAT IS HSE MANEUVER. PLIT LEADERSHIP WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MOMENT TO PULL THE TRIGGER AND AS A CONSEQUENCE A MASS EVACUATION IF THERE IS ONE AT ALL. YOU DON'T NEED 300-PLUS PEOPLE WITH THEIR CARS INTO THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA. THE CURRENT PLANS SHOW THEY WILL BE INGRESSING AND EGRESSING OFF OF OAKELLAR AVENUE, A SMALL RESIDENTIAL AREA WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 25 MLES PER HOUR. IF YOU FOLLOW THE NORMAL TRAFFIC LOAD THEY GO DOWN TO MANHATTAN, AN INTERSECTION CONTROLLED BY A STOP SIGN ONLY. MANHATN IS A MAYOR ARTERIAL THROUGH PUT NORTH AND SOUTH AND HAVE TWO LANES IN EACH DIRECTION WITH THE MIDDLE LANE FOR TURNING. THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION CURRENTLY RATES MANHATTAN'S LEVEL OF SERVICE AS D AS IN DELTA. AND THIS MANHATTAN WILL STOP AND COME TO A STOP WITHIN NORMAL PEAK HOURS. A HORRIBLE PLACE FOR EVAC EVACUATION. OPINION ONE OF THE BIGGEST INFRASTRUCTURE PROBLEMS WE HAVE IN SOUTH TAMPA AND I DON'T NEED TO TELL YOU AND IT HAS BEEN FOR CEURIEIS LOCALIZED STREET FLOODING. MANHATTAN AVENUE TRADITIONALLY GOES UNDER WATER WITH SEVERAL INCHES OF RAIN ESPECIALLY IF THE RAINFALL OCCURS AT SAME TIME AS HIGH TIDE IN TAMPA BAY WHICH BY THE WAY IS A MILE AWAY FROM THIS PROPERTY. THE LAST TIME MANHATTAN WENT UNDER WATER YOU COULD NOT GET OUT TO THE NORTH OR SOUTH UNLESS YOU WERE WILLING TO CHANCE YOUR CAR STALLING BECAUSE OF THE WATER. PUTTING AN ADDITIONAL 300 RESIDENTS AND THEIR VEHICLES IN AN AREA THAT ONLY HAS TO ACCESS MANHATTAN TO GET OUT IS ASKI FOR TROUBLE. FINALLY, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD JUST TO THE NORTH OF IT, 150 FEET, IS A BEAUTIFUL TREE-LINED SUBDIVISION IN SOUTH TAMPA. UNFORTUNATELY, THE NORTH-SOUTH STREETS CORTEZ, HESPIRDIES, ETC. DO NOT HAVE SIDEWALKS ON THEM. RESIDENTS HAVE TO WALK AL ALONGSIDE ROAD IN ORDER TO DO SOMETHING. WE NOW HAVE PROBLEMS DODGING CARS BECAUSE CARS WILL USE OUR RESIDENTIAL STREETS TO BYPASS MANHATTAN WHEN IT IS BACKED UP. IF YUT 300-PLUS VEHICLES, IT IS GOING TO BE A HORRIBLE TROUBLE. I WAS PERSONALLY HIT BY A VEHICLE SEVERAL YEARS AGO. IT IS NOT FUN. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR. >> FINALLY -- >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR. >> THANK YOU. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. GISPERT. MR. CHAIRMAN. CALLING PERSONAL PRIVILEGE. MR. GISPERT, I KNOW YOU SERVED OUR COUNTY AND OUR COMMUNITY FOR DECADES DURING EMERGENCY EVACUATION AND EVERYTHING ELSE ASSOCIATED WITH IT. AND I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF OUR COMMUNY F YOUR SERVICE, FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE, AND FRANKLY, THIS COUNCILMAN IS GOING TO BE TAPPING INTO SOME OF THAT KNOWLEDGE OVER THE NEXT YEAR AS WE DISCUSS THESE IMPORTANT ISSUES. SO, THANK YOU, MR. GISPERT. >> THANK YOU, MR. DINGFELDER. GLADLY, CALL ME ANY TIME. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, PETE TRILA. >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN. FIRST I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOU THE HARD WORK FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA. I AM SPEAKING TO EXPRESS MY STRONG OPPOSITION TO REZONING. MY WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN HAVE BEEN RESIDENTS ON SOUTH CORTEZ. WE ARE LESS THAN 2,000 FEET FROM THE PROPOSED PROJECT. OUR CONCERNS ARE PLENTY BUT WE WANT TO ADDRESS SPECIFIC CONCERNS THAT DO NOT GO WITH THE CURRENT GROWTH OF THE CITY OF TAMPA. FIRST, LITTLE OUT OF LINE OF WHAT I HAD PREPARED. I KEEP HEARING AFFORDABLE OR NICE CATCHY TERM AFFORDABLE HOUSING. AND PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN ONE OR TWO BEDROOM HOUSING. CONSIDER AFFORDABLE HOUSING I BELIEVE THAT MR. MIRANDA MENTIONED I CAN RENT MY CLOSET FOR $50 A MONTH. I DON'T THINK MY CLOSET WILL BE VERY COMFORTABLE BUT IT IS VERY AFFORDABLE. CURRENTLY THE PARCEL THAT WE ARE DISCUSS SOMETHING ZONED COMMERCIAL AND PROVIDE FAMILY, FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK OUT TO A FARMER'S MARKET AND LIVE MUSIC, MARTIAL ARTS AND AS WELL AS PURCHASE PRODUCTS THAT ARE NOT FOR MY WIFE AND DAUGHTERS. THESE EXACT BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL ON THIS PARCEL THROUGHOUT PANDEMIC THAT SPEAKS A LOT TO THE VIABILITY. LOSING THESE BUSINESSES HURT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS. KEEPING THIS IN INTACT IS MY PERSONAL PRIORITY. AND THE PARCEL OF LAND FOR THE MRARMENTS HAVE ONLY ACCESS FROM WHAT WE HAVE SEEN FROM OAKELLAR ROAD WHICH IS A RESIDENTIAL STREET. I LOOKED EVERYWHERE IN SOUTH TAMPA AND SPOKE TO RESIDENTS FOR OVER 15 YEARS AND I CANNOT FIND ONE EXAMPLE OF A LARGE APARTMENT COMPLEX THAT HAS THEIR MAIN ACCESS TO AND FROM A RESIDENTIAL STREET. EVERY OTHER COMPLEX HAS DIRECT ACCESS TO A MAIN LOAN AND TRAFFIC TO FLOW ON TO AND OFF OF A ROAD DESIGNATED FOR HIGH TRAFFIC. THERE IS NO TRAFFIC SIGNAL ON ANY OF THE OUTBOUND ROADS FURTHER CREATING TRAFFIC WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD STOP SIGN. THE BUSINESSES ON THIS PARCEL AS COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER MENTION READY MOSTLY ACCESSED BY GANDY BOULEVARD AND WE DO NOT CONSIDER THE CONCERNS OF THIS PROJECT IF IT PASSES AS IT IS PROPOSED. THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE IN TA TAMPA, WALKING, BIKING HAVE TO APPROVE AND WE KNEE FOR DEC DECADES. OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS PART OF THIS ISSUE BECAUSE ZERO SIDEWALKS RUNNING NORTH AND SOUTH. AND FURTHER INCREASING OUR CONCERN AND ADDING 400-PLUS VEHICLES RESIDING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WITH NO ACCESS TO GANDY OR WEST SHORE WITHOUT USING RESIDENTIAL. LASTLY TWO SPECIFIC VARIANCES THAT THE DEVELOPER IS ASKING FOR APPROVAL THAT FURTHER ELEVATES MY CONCERN IN WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO FOR THE PROJECT. ASKING FOR A REDUCTION OF REQUIRED PARKING PUTS VISITORS TO THIS APARTMENT COMPLEX NEEDING TO PARK THEIR VEHICLES ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS WHERE THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS. SECONDLY, REDUCTION OF GREEN SPACE, WHICH I JUST FIND HARD TO BELIEVE IN TODAY'S ENVIRONMENT, WE IN TAMPA CAN ALL AGREE CREATING A MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY SPACE HAVE ZERO DRAWBACKS OF IMPROVING OUR CITY'S APPEARANCE AND VIABILITY. IN THE END WE HOPE THAT THE DEVELOPER WILL REWORK THE PLAN IN THE EXISTING LIFE-OFF OF THE PROPERTY. HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ONLY PROPERTY WITH A LARGE BUSINESS WILL NOT IMPROVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOVE CONTINUE TO TO SARAH FRIDAY. >> GOOD EVENING AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TONIGHT. I AM THE RESIDENT THE OF THE 4600 BLOCK OF SOUTH CORTEZ. I LIVED HERE WITH MY HUSBAND AND DAUGHTER FOR 13 YEARS. AND WE ARE LOCATED DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE ENTRANCE OF THE PROPOSED CLUBHOUSE VISITOR ENTRANCE. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF BIKERS, PEDESTRIANS AND IN PARTICULAR, MY CHILD AND THE OTHER CHILDREN WHO LIVE ON THIS STREET. AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THIS PROPOSED APARTMENT COMPLEX. THE DEVELOPER'S TRAFFIC STUDY SUGGESTS DIMINIMUS IMPACT AND MAKES ASSUMPTIONS OF CURNT TRAFFIC PATTERNS AND DOES NOT CONSIDER THE COMMUNITY IT FA FACES. SOME OF US WHO LIVE ON THE 4600 BLOCK OF SOUTH CORTEZ AVE COLLECTED TEN HOURS OF TRAFFIC DATA ON OUR STREET NEIGHBORING THE PROPOSED APARTMENTS. VERY FEW CARS PARKED ON OUR STREET THROUGHOUT OUR OBSERVATIONS. DURING MORNING AND EVENING RUSH SHOWER, DURING NONRUSH HOUR, WEEKDAY TIME AND DURING WEE WEEKENDS, VEHICULAR TRAFFIC AVERAGES WERE UNDER EIGHTS PER HOUR. YOU RECEIVED THIS DATA AS AN RESIDENT'S E-MAIL TO YOU. ALLOWING AN ENTRANCE AND EXIT ON OAKELLAR WILL DRASTICALLY INCREASE OUR TRAFFIC AS OUR STREETS WILL BE USED AS A CUT-THRU FOR THE APARTMENTS. OTHER COMMUNITIES ARE REAPING THE BENEFITS OF THE MAYOR'S COMPLETE STREETS, THE DEVELOPER IS ASKING TO YOU APPROVE VARIANCES THAT WILL MAKE OUR STREETS LESS SAFE. THE BUILDING HAS A GANDY ADDRESS AND SHOULD BE GANDY FACING. THE IMPACT ON OUR COMMUNITY NEW BE NEGLIGIBLE. PROPOSE APARTMENT COMPLEX IS REQUESTING A VARIANCE ON PARKING SPOTS. AS YOU KNOW TAMPA IS ONE OF THE LEAST SAFE CITIES FOR PEDESTRIANS AND BIKE RIDERS. THE REDUCTION IN REQUIRED PARKING SPOTS WILL DIRECTLY IMPACT OUR STREETS AND OUR NEIGHBORING STREETS. IN THE EVENINGS AND ON WEE WEEKENDS, OUR CHILDREN VISIT EACH OTHER'S YARDS AND RIDE THEIR BIKES IN THE STREETS AS THERE ARE NO NORTH-SOUTH SIDEWALKS. IF YOU PROVIDE THE VARIANCE ON PARKING, VISITORS AND RESIDENTS OF THE APARTMENT COMPLEX WILL USE OUR STREETS FOR OVERFLOW PARKING. PROVIDING OUR PARKING VARIANCE WILL FORCE O KIDS TO WALK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET THAN THE SHOULDER OF THE STREET. THEY WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO RIDE THEIR BIKES BECAUSE PARKED CAR ALSO POSE TOO MANY SAFETY HAZARDS FOR THEM. PLEASE REJECT THE PROPOSED APARTMENT COMPLEX AND REQUIRE THE DEVELOPER TO MAKE A SAFER PLAN THAT IS CONSIDERATE OF THE RESIDENTS OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU. MADAM DEPUTY CLERK, OUR NEXT FIVE TO BE SWORN IN? >>CLERK: YES, I HAVE TWO THAT ARE NOT ON -- ANA DIEGO AND CHRISTINA ROSTEIN, IF YOU CAN TURN ON YOUR VIDEO AND UNMUTE YOURSELVES PLEASE.

THE 2511 WEST VIRGINIA LOC LOCATION. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THAT WAS CONTINUED. >>CLERK: THANK YOU, JUST ST STANDBY. >>ORLANDO GUDES: SHE IS ON 21-05. THAT WAS CONTINUED. >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE OCTOBER 14 DATE. >>CLERK: ANA. DID YOU HEAR THAT? >> 2511 WEST RGIN GOT POSTPONED. >>MARTIN SHELBY: THIS IS MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY. IT WAS CONTINUED ON A MOTION OF THE APPLICANT TO OCTOBER 14 OF 2021 AT 6 P.M. AND IF YOU ARE WITHIN A NOTICE AREA YOU WILL RECEIVE NOTICE OTHERWISE IT WILL BE POSTED. BUT YOU SHOULD MAKE THE DATE PLEASE AND MARK IT OCTOBER 14 AT 6 P.M. >> THANK YOU. >>CLERK: ALL RIGHT, CHAIR. TH ARE HERE, THANK YOU.HE ONES >> PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT H HAND. DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT YOU WILL TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. >> I DO. >> THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: START OFF WITH ANA D. DIEGO. I SAW -- I SAW -- SHE LOGGED OFF. OKAY, GO TO -- TO STEPHANIE DOCILE. I SEE -- >> YES. >> CARROLL ANNE BENNETT, JAY CODE AND MARCUS DOCILE. >> MARCUS DOCILE IS THE HUSBAND OF STEPHANIE DOCILE. I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO SPEAK ON MARCUS BECAUSE HE CAN'T BE HERE TONIGHT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MARCUS DOCILE. >> YES. MY NAME IS LANE ANDREWS. I WAS ASKED TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF MARCUS BECAUSE HE CAN'T MAKE IT TONIGHT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THAT IS FINE. GO AHEAD, SIR. >> THANK YOU. I AM THE OWNER OF SOUTH TAMPA JUJITSU AND MMA, A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS IN THE PLAZA THAT REALLY HAVEN'T BEEN ADDRESSED VERY MUCH TONIGHT. WE ARE A RELATIVELY NEW BUSINESS THERE. OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, WE ARE A STRONG BUSINESS. WE MADE IT THROUGH COVID. AND JUST WHEN BUSINESS IS STARTING TO PICK UP, WE FIND OUT ABOUT THIS BUILDING PROJECT GOING ON. SO ANYWAY, YOU KNOW, THEY REFERENCED EARLIER LIKE THIS APARTMENT COMPLEX WILL BE A PLACE FOR HEROES TO LIVE. THE HEROES TRAIN AT MY GYM. I HAVE FIRE FIGHTERS. I HAVE POLICE OFFICERS. I HAVE MILITARY PEOPLE. WE HAVE KIDS FROM AGE 3 TO SENIORS AT AGE 65. MANY OF THEM ARE PART OF THIS COMMUNITY THAT WILL BE AFFECTED BY THIS. YOU KNOW, THERE IS SUCH AN EMPHASIS ON BUILDING IN SOUTH TAMPA. AND THE CONTINUAL BUILDING OF THESE HUGE APARTMENT COMPLEXES. BUT I THINK WHAT WE NEED IS MORE SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSES THAT ARE FAMILY SERVICES, YOU KNOW. BUSINESSES LIKE MINE. BUSINESSES LIKE 81 BAY. PEOPLE COME TO MY GYM NOT JUST BECAUSE THEY NEED A WORKOUT. THEY COME THERE BECSE IT'S -- IT'S A COMMUNITY, A SOCIAL THING FOR THEM NOT TO MENTION ALL THE STRESS RELIEF IT PROVIDES. WE HAVE BEEN A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS IN THERE. WE MOVED IN 2019. WE MORE THAN DOUBLED THE ENROLLMENT SINCE THEN. UP 300 MEMBERS. AND, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE -- LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE A LOT OF KIDS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT TRAIN THERE. I THINK IT IS AN UNFORTUNATE TIME TO TELL BUSINESSES LIKE SOUTH TAMPA JUJITSU AND 1 BAY THEY NEED TO MOVE JUST -- 81 BAY THAT THEY NEED TO MOVE JUST WHEN WE ARE STARTING TO RECOVER FROM COVID. THE BUSINESS -- ALL OF OUR BUSINESSES ABIDED BY THE RULES SET FORTH BY THE ELECTED OFFICIALS AT THE EXPENSE OF OUR BUSINESS AND OUR PERSONAL LIVELIHOOD TO ABIDE BY ALL THE RULES OF COVID AND PRO PROTECT THE COMMUNITY. NOW IS OUR TIME TO GROW OUT OF THAT. OUR BUSINESSES HAVE TO RELOCATE WHICH IS A TREMENDOUS EXPENSE. AND IN THE CASE OF 81 BAY. I AM NOT EVEN SURE IF IT IS REASONABLE. YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS PROPERTY COULD BE BETTER USED IF SOMEONE WOULD INVEST IT. THEY TALKED OF THE HISTORY OF LITIGATION WITH THE PRIOR OWNER THERE. IN THE 81 BAYSIDE. I DO NOT THINK THAT THEY CURRENTLY OWN THE PART OF THE STRIP THAT I AM IN. I AM RIGHT NEXT TO GRACE CHURCH. I THINK THAT IS STILL OWN BY GANDY PARTNERS IF YOU WANT TO LOOK INTO THAT. YOU KNOW, I THINK WE CAN ATTRACT RETAILERS HERE NOW THAT THE PRIOR OWNER IS GONE GIVEN THE HISTORY OF LITIGATION TH THERE. SO I WOULD ASK -- OBVIOUSLY I AM STRONGLY OPPOSING THIS MOVE. AND I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIMEO HE ME AND HEAR MY THOUGHTS. THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR. GO TO KATHERINE YANT. >> GOOD EVENING, THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING. I AM A RESIDENT OF THE 4500 BLOCK OF COOPER PLACE. COOPER IS ABOUT HALFWAY BETWEEN MANHATTAN AND WEST SHORE. AND WE ARE PROBABLY ABOUT A BLOCK FROM THE PROPOSED ENTRANCE ACCORDING TO THE SITE PLAN THAT WAS PROPOSED. AND WE STRONGLY OBJECT TO THE PROJECT AS PROPOSED. MY HUSBAND AND I LIVE HERE WITH OUR THREE SMALL CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY DURING COVID, WE ENJOYED OUR FAMILY WALKS AND BEING ABLE TO GO OUT, TEACH OUR DAUGHTER HOW TO RIDE HER BIKE ON THE STREET. AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE NOTED THERE ARE NO NORTH-SOUTH SIDEWALKS IN THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND WE WERE ABLE TO TEACH OUR DAUGHTER HOW TO RIDE HER BIKE ON THE STREET BECAUSE, ESPECIALLY DURING COVID, THAT SLOWDOWN IN TRAFFI NOW WE ARE TALKING OF ADDING A LARMENT APARTMENT COMPLEX WITH, AGAIN, THE ONLY INFORMATION ON THE SITE PLAN THAT WAS PROPOSED, THE ONLY INGRESS AND EGRESS IS GOING TO BE RIGHT ON OAKELLAR ABOUT A BLOCK FROM OUR HOUSE. AND WHILE THEY HAVE USED TRAFFIC COMPARISONS BASED ON WHAT APPEARS TO BE A MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY FOR THAT AREA. MR. DINGFELDER SAID THAT IT DOESN'T QUITE MAKE SENSE THAT THEY ARE USING THE MINIMAL IMPACT OTRAFC BAD ON THE APARTMENT COMPLEX. AND THAT DRIVEWAY THAT THEY WERE REFERRING TO ON OAKELLAR THAT EMPTIES ON TO OAKELLAR, I DRIVE PAST IT A DOZEN TIMES A DAY DOING VARIOUS PICK-UPS AND DROP-OFFS WITH MY KIDS AND IT IS HARDLY UTILIZED. THERE ARE NOT MANY CARS THERE. AND THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO CREATE A SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THE THREE CROSS STREETS, THE EAST-WEST CROSS STREETS THAT DUMP ON MANHATTAN AND WEST SHORE ARE FAI OAKS, COACHMAN AND OAKELLAR. NONE OF THOSE STREETS HAVE A LIGHT. AT MANHATTAN OR AT WEST SHORE. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, ON THOSE TWO STREETS, TRYING TO TURN LEFT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. THE SUICIDE LANE REALLY FEELS LIKE A SUICIDE MISSION WHEN YOU ARE JUMPING OUT THERE IF YOU WERE TRYING TO HEAD NORTH ON MANHATTAN. AND WHEN IS WEST SHORE NOT BACKED UP. IT IS GOING TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE IMPACT AND I IMPLORE TO YOU DENY THE REZONING APPLICATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU. WE WILL GO TO MISS JAY COGI. >> UNMUTING. ANYWAY, HI, SIR, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I AM VERY HE CAN SI SIGHTED TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY PARTICIPATE IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND I AM HAPPY TO BE HERE AND THANK YOU FOR THIS TIME. AT THIS TIME, I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE PROPOSED REZONING OF THE PROPERTY. TO THE NEXT DOOR APP, YOU CAN SEE THAT JOHN LUM CARES FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA. WE NEED CHAMPIONS LIKE THAT, BUT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE HE DOESN'T LIVE HERE, AND I DON'T THINK MR. GREASE DOES EITHER. SO I THINK WHAT THE LAST YEAR HAS TAUGHT US THAT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT CONSIDER TO LIVE IN EXPERIENCES AND I AM GLAD YOU ARE TAKING THE TIME TO LISTEN TO US AND TAKE OUR E-MAIL NOTES PRIOR. I WROTE IN MY NOTE ABOUT TRAFFIC. SO I WILL REPEAT THE OAKELLAR CONCERN AND WHAT WE ALSO NEED TO FOCUS ON THE CHANGE IN MANHATTAN TRAFFIC. IF I DO, I WOULD -- I DIDN'T SNAPSHOT MR. MICHELINI RETAIL IN THE MAP WHERE HE HAD THE APPLEBEE'S LOGO. I CAN PULL IT UP BUT I DIDN'T SNAPSHOT IT AT THE TIME. A LOT OF RETAIL OCCURS ACROSS FROM MANHATTAN. IF WE TURN THIS INTO THE PROPOSED PLAN WILL BE MORE PEOPLE MOVING FROM -- IN WALKING DISTANCE ACROSS MANHATTAN. ALL THAT AWESOME RETAIL -- A LOT. AND I DON'T KNOW IF I HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT MANHATTAN MITIGATION. JUST TODAY AS I TURNED RIGHT ON TO MANHATTAN FROM GANDY THREE PEOPLE WERE CROSSING THE STREET NOT USING THE CROSSWALK. ALL OF THEM LOOKED TO BE UP IN AGE. AND WERE MAKING AN ESTIMATE WHEN TO CROSS MANHATTAN AT A SAFE TIME. I SUSPECT THE ARGUMENT MIGHT BE THAT THE AREA WILL NOT SUPPORT MIXED USE, BUT IN THIS LAST YEAR, I THINK WE CAN'T RELY ON WAY WE USED TO DO THINGS. ADDITIONALLY THE LIC ARGUMENT I HEARD IN FAVOR ARE FALLACY. THAT MEANS THEY SOUND GOOD BUT CANNOT BE PROVEN AT THE TIME. FOR EXAMPLE THE TRAFFIC STUDY PROJECTION THAT THEY HAVE MADE IN INA ACCURATE HISTORICAL DATA THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL REDUCE TRAFFIC IS A NARRATIVE. THAT IS NOT A FACT. AIM FOR THIS TO BE AFFORDABLE AND AGE TAINEABLE, THAT IS HEARTFELT HOPE, NOT FACT UNLESS THERE IS REGULATION. MR. GREASE SAID HE MIGHT BE FORCED TO SELL THE PROPERTY, THAT IS A NARRATIVE. MADE $75 MILLION. I DOUBT HE IS FORCE TODAY DO ANYTHING 300 APARTMENTS WITH TRADITIONAL PARKING THAT REQUIRE LESS GREEN SPACE. FEELS LAZY AND DATED AND WITHOUT INNOVATIVE PEDESTRIAN SOLUTIONS, IT ALSO SEEMS UNSAFE. IN CONCLUSION I ASK THAT MR. LUM AND MR. GREASE EVEN FOR A MOMENT ABANDON THEIR HISTORICAL LAND AND THINK OF THE ART OF THE POSSIBLE. INSTEAD OF LISTING THINGS COULD NOT WORK, THINK OF WHAT COULD BE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE HAVE MISS CARROLL ANN BENNETT NEXT. >> HI, MY NAME IS CARROLL ANNE BENNETT A LIFELONG RESIDENT OF SOUTH TAMPA. UNITED RESIDENTS OF SOUTH TA TAMPA. A GRASS-ROOTS GROUP ADVOCATING FOR GREATER DETERMINED DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA AND YOU READ THEIR"NEW YORK POST"FACEBOOK AND KNOW THEY ARE ADVOCATES OF TAMPA. THEY SAY GROWTH HAS NO VALUE. THEY SAY IF YOU WERE GROWING IN A WAY THAT INCREASES QUALITY OF LIFE, THAT IS SMART GROWTH. THAT IS WHAT URBAN TAMPA BAY ADVOCATES. GROWING THE POPULATION IS MEANINGLESS IF IT DOES NOT APPROVE PEOPLE'S DAY-TO-DAY LIFE. GROWTH IS NOT AN END, IT IS A MEANS. COMMERCIAL USE IN ALL APARTMENT PROJECTS, AND INCREASE DENSITY AND WALK UP DESIGN ALONG SIDEWALKS. THIS SMART GROWTH ENSURES THAT GROWTH IS CONTRIBUTING TO A HIGHER QUALITY OF LIFE. OPPOSING SMART GROWTH SAYS YOUR CONCERN PROPER REGULATIONS OF PLAN ALSO HURT YOUR PERSONAL PROFITS. AGNST BUILDING MORES WE ARE NOT APARTMENTS IN TAMPA. WE NEED MORE APARTMENTS IN ORDER TO BLUNT RISING HOUSING COSTS, BUT ONLY IF THEY ARE PROPERLY DESIGNED. POJECTS OF SIGNIFICANT SIZE NEED TO BE MIXED USE. NO EXCEPTIONS. DEVELOPER OBJECTIONS HERE ARE FRIVOLOUS. THEY HAVE BEEN PLOPPING SI SINGLE-USE PROJECTS DOWN IN TAMPA FOR SOME TIME NOW. THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE CASH COW FOR THEM BUT DOES LITTLE TO ENHANCE THE CITY. THE CITY IS NOT A GUARANTOR OF DEVELOPER PROFITS AND DESIGNED PREFERENCES. PURELY PLANNED GROWTH LOWERS QUALITY OF LIFE. TAMPA HAS GROWN DESPERATE TO IN DEMAND. THAT MEANS IT IS TIME TO RAISE STANDARDS. DON'T KEEP LOW DESIGN QUALITY JUST BUILD APARTMENTS RAPIDLY. THAT IS NOT BEING AFFORDABLE. THAT IS BEING CHEAP. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. INDUSTRY AND COMMERCE SHOULDN'T BE REPLACED WITH HOUSING UNITS BECAUSE INDUSTRY AND COMMERCE EQUAL JOBS AND WAGES. THERE ARE LOTS OF USES WHICH COLLECT NICE RENTS FOR COMMERCIAL LANDLORDS FOR OFFICE SPACE, MEDICAL OFFICES AND NEIGHBORHOOD RETAIL WITH A LOCAL DRAW. THE DEVELOPER DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO OWN THE SPACE THEMSELVES BUT SELL IT TO OTHERS. THAT IS HOW SS COMMERCIAL SPACE. >> HANDLED. DEVELOPERS LIKE TO PLAY DUMB OR PRETEND THE MARKET ISN'T THERE FOR COMMERCIAL USES WHEN THE TRUTH IS THEY ARE LAZY AND DON'T WANT TO DO SIGNIFICANCE OUTSIDE OF THEIR HIGH MARGIN, RESIDENTIAL ONLY COMFORT ZONE. ONE COMMENTER ON URBAN'S FACEBOOK PAGE SAID IT BEST. ENTITIES THAT ARE FOCUSED ON EXTRACTING AS MUCH PROFIT FROM THIS COMMUNITY AS THEY CAN GET. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE GOVERNMENT FORCING THEM TO TAKE A MORE THOUGHTFUL APPROACH FOR DEVELOPMENT OR NOT BE ALLOWED TO OPERATE HERE. THEY CAN GO TRASH SOME OTHER TY. THEY HAVE ALREADY MADE OURS UNLIVABLE ENOUGH. THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU. MADAM DEPUTY CLERK, WE HAVE OUR NEXT FIVE UP? >>CLERK: YES, SIR, I NEED LEANN FINETI TO TURN OFFER HER VIDEO. >> UH-OH. HOW I DO DO THAT. >> LEANN, JUST TURN ON THE VIDEO ICON. YOU SHOULD SEE THE VIDEO IN IN THE PANEL. >> OKAY. THERE WE GO. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALL RIGHT. >> PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT H HAND. DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT YOU WILL TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH? >> YES, I DO. >> I DO. >> I DO. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALL RIGHT, START OFF WITH HIS JEAN STROHMEYER. GOT YOU ON MUT >> CAN YOU HEAR ME? DO A SOUND CHECK? OKAY. HI, MY NAME IS JEAN STROHMEYER, THE GOAL OUTLINED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND USE WAS FOR SOUTH TAMPA PENINSULA TO REMAIN STABLE WITH NO NET INCREASE IN POPULATION DENSITY. I AM NOT SURE WHY THIS IS SO DOVE COMPREHEND AND IMPLEMENT SINCE POPULATION ALMOST DOUBLED IN FIVE YEARS. THIS PROJECT DID NOT HAVE ANY TRAFFIC STUDIES DONE. MR.UM MENTIONED -- HE IS BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING BY MENTIONING NURSES AND TEACHERS AND FIRST RESPONDERS AND THAT IS JUST TO YANK YOUR HEARTSTRINGS. . I LIVED IN A STUDIO EFFICIENCY WHEN I WAS 15 -- 15 AND 16 YEARS OLD. WHEN I GREW UP I HAD NO DESIRE TO LIVE THERE AGAIN. PROFESSORS LIKE TEACHERS, FIRST RESPONDERS WANT TO LIVE IN MICRO APARTMENTS AND NOT HAVE FAMILY WHEN THEY COME TO VISIT THEY HAVE TO SLEEP ON THE MICRO FLOOR? FAILING BUSINESSES AT THIS SITE. WELL, HOW LONG DOES A BUSINESS HAVE TO BE IN BUSINESS TO BE A SUCCESS? WHAT MAKES IT A FAILURE. THE SKATING RINK WAS SET UP TO FAIL. THEY DIDN'T HAVE REAL SKATES. WAS COME IN KICK, MAKE A BUCK. THE BREWERY IS AN ASSET. EVERYBODY LOVES A BREWERY. COULD THOSE BUSINESSES IN THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION BE FAILING BECAUSE THE OWNER LACKS INTEREST IN THE AREA? HE HAS BEEN TRYING TO SELL, GET RID OF AND HAD A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY BUT JUST HAVEN'T DONE IT. I HAVE HAD -- HIS PEOPLE TELL ME ABOUT THAT. MICRO APARTMENTS AND STUDIO APARTMENTS ARE NOT THE ANSWER. WE NEED THESE BUSINESSES FOR JOBS. AT THIS PROJECT, THEY WANT YOU TO RETAIN LESS THAN 40% OF THE EXISTING TREES ON THE SITE. THERE ARE BARELY ANY TREES THERE ANYWAY. THEY WANT TO PAY INTO THE TREE FUND AND BE DONE WITH IT. IT IS ALL ABOUT THAT BUT NOT GREEN SPACE. BASICALLY REMOVE ALL THE TREES ON THE SITE. THEY WANT HALF THE GREEN SPACE AND WHERE WILL THE DOGS POOP OR WILL THEY NOT HAVE THAT. THEY WANT ZERO EASEMENT ON OAKELLAR AND KEEP FILLING THE PENINSULA, AND KEE ON TAKING AWAY OUR GREEN SPACES AND IGNORE THE CITIZENS. I AND OTHERS INCLUDING THE EXPERTS ARE -- WERE TOLD THAT -- POTENTIAL TO DIE IN OUR CARS WHILE EVACUATING DO YOU REMEMBER A STORM SURGE EVENT. -- EVENT. THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB IS TO KEEP THE CITIZENS. IF A MAJOR EVACUATION HURR HURRICANE, STORM SURGE AND ANOTHER 9/11 AND WE DIDN'T GET OUT, I AND OUR NEIGHBORS WILL REMEMBER EACH ONE OF OU -- EVERY ONE OF YOU BY NAME. AND YOU WILL BE THE ONES WHO KILLED THEM. WILL BE YOU. AND I AM TELLING YOU. SO, GOOD NIGHT A HAV A GOOD DAY. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU. MISS DEFAULT IN. -- DENAULT. MISS DENAULT. >> GOOD EVENING, KALI DENAULT, THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION. AND FOR THE REASONS BUT FOR -- BUT EXPRESSED OUR DESPERATE NEED FOR COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL. NOT ONLY DOES THIS REMOVE AMAZING LOCAL BUSINESSES FROM OUR COMMUNITY BUT THIS PROPOSAL DOES NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THE THE ARE -- THEY WANT TO REDUCE THE TREES THEY WILL ADD AND REDUCE PARKING SPACES PUSHING PARKED CARS TO THE NEIGHBORHOODS NEXT DOOR. THE MAIN ENTRANCE AND EXIT FOR THE BUSINESS IS GANDY BOULEVARD PROTECTING THE NEIGHBORHOOD BEHIND IT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO HAVE A LEGITIMATE TRAFFIC STUDY HOW THIS WILL IMPACT THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN THEY OPEN THE ROAD TO OAKELLAR. IT SOUNDS RIDICULOUS THAT IT WILL IMPACT THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN A POSITIVE WAY. NOT ONLY SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT THE APARTMENTS, BUT ALLOW PEOPLE TO EASILY CUT THROUGH FROM GANDY TO WEST SHOREND AVOID GANDY. DUE TO THE SIZE AND NATURE OF THE EXIST BUILDING AND THE PARKING ON-SITE A GREAT LOCATION WITH A LOT OF POTENTIAL FOR FUTURE BUSI BUSINESSES. WITH MARKETING IVRTS IN SPACE COULD BRING WHAT OUR COMMUNITY IS DESPERATELY LACKING COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL. OUR COMMUNITY COULD USE AFFORDABLE HOUSING BUT $12300 FOR A STUDIO APARTMENT FEASIBLE FOR A FAMILY? ARE WE REALLY CALLING THAT AFFORDABLE. ATTAINABLE SURE. PRACTICAL FOR A FAMILY, NO. ARE YOU IMPLYING THAT NURSES AND FIRST RESPONDERS DON'T HAVE FAMILIES AND WON'T NEED ADDITIONAL BEDROOMS. PLEASE DON'T SET THIS PRECEDENCE FOR FUTURE REZONING REQUESTS. WHAT WAS FAILED TO MENTION YOU FIT FAILED DURING COVID-19. A GYM. THEY COULDN'T ALLOW PEOPLE TO USE IT. THEY LOST THEIR MEMBERS. OF COURSE IT WILL FAIL. I UNDERSTAND VACANT SPACES IN THE BUILDING BUT WE ALL KNOW WE ARE INCREASING THAT LOW FOOT TRAFFIC THAT WAS MENTIONED. INCREASING THE DENSITY OF THIS AREA LIKE CRAZY. WE WILL HAVE TO ALLOW PLENTY OF PEOPLE TO FREQUENT WHATEVER BUSINESS CAN MOVE INTO THE SPACES. ACCORDING TO, METRO TAMPAS ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO START A BUSINESS PER WALLET HUB. LET US LET THE ABILITY TO DO SO 81 BAY IS NOT ONLY ONE OF THE BUSINESSES OF ITS KIND IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BUT GIVES BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. IT SUPPORTS OTHER LOCAL BUSINESSES BY HOSTING MARKET NIGHTS. IT HOSTS EVENTS IN SUPPORT OF VETERANS. IT WELCOMES FAMILY WITH KIDS BY PROVIDING GAMES, FOOD TRUCKS AND LIVE MUSIC. CONSISTENTLY LOOKING FOR WAYS TO ENTERTAIN THE COMMUNITY AND PROVIDE A LOCAL OUTLET FOR PEOPLE TO GO. LOOK UP AND DOWN GANDY BOULEVARD TOE AND FROM WEST SHORE. CONSISTENTLY MIXED USE. I ASK YOU TO LEAVE THE SPACE AS IS, COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE CONSISTENT WITH GANDY BOUL BOULEVARD. DON'T PENALIZE THE COMMUNITY FOR THE PAST AREA. DO NOT ALLOW 300 CARS TO FEED INTO THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD BY OAKELLAR. I ASK YOU TO RELY ON THIS. GUDES GO TO MISS BANETI. >> I AM LeANN BANETI IN MR. MANISCALCO'S DISTRICT. I LIVED HERE FOR 6 0 YEARS AND WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW MUCH WE IN SOUTH TAMPA PRESERVE THE CHARACTER OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND QUALITY OF OUR LIFE. I RECENTLY COMMUNICATED WITH A BUNCH OF SOUTH TAMPA RESIDENTS AND I HEAR THE CONCERN REPEATEDLY. STOP MULTIFAMILY APARTMENT COMPLEXES INVADING SINGLE FAMILY HOME NEIGHBORHOODS. CITY OF TAMPA HAVE PLACED A HIGH PRIORITY ON THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS WHY IT IS EMPHASIZED COMPLETE -- REPEATEDLY IN THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. ALL OF SOUTHD TO BE A SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD. COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE FOR URBANIZATION. SOUTH TAMPA IS A SUBURB AS YOU ALL KNOW. ITS VERY IDENTITY IS A SUBURB FILLED WITH SINGLE-FAMILY HO HOMES. ITS IDENTITY IS NOT MULTI FAMILY APARTMENT NEIGHBORHOOD. QUITE A QUITE EDUCATION IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. THE COMP PLAN CLEARLY STATES THAT SOUTH TAMPA IS UNSUITABLE FOR HIGH DENSITY. I BEG YOU, BE PROACTIVE NOT REACTIVEREACVE. CONTINUE TO APPROVE THE HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENTS, WE, THOSE WHO LIVE HERE WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH IF FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING AND CONSIDERING OUR VERY VALID CONCERNS. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU. JENNIFER SPARKS. >> HI, MY NAME IS JENNIFER SPARKS. AND LIVE AT 23 WEST SPANISH MAIN STREET IN BEACH PARK, AND I AM SPEAKING TONIGHT IN OPPOSITION OF THIS REZONING. I DON'T LIVE RIGHT BEHIND WHERE THIS COMPLEX IS PROPOSED TO BE BUILT, BUT THAT DOESN'T MN IT DOESN'T EFFECT ME. I AM IN EVACUATION ZONE A IN A COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA AND IF YOU CRAM MORE PEOPLE IN THE MOST VULNERABLE PARTS OF THE CITY, YOU MAKE IT HARDER FOR ME TO EVACUATE AND RISKING THE LIVES OF ME, MY FAMILY AND MY NEIGHBORS. THE ISSUE OF COASTAL HIGH HAZARD IS SO SIGNIFICANT THAT GOVERNOR DeSANTIS SIGNED TWO SEPARATE BILLS YESTERDAY TO BETTER PREPARE FLORIDA FOR FUTURE FLOODING SEA LEVEL RISE. FUTURE FLOODING AND SEA LEVEL RISE SHOULD ALSO BE ISSUES THAT THIS COUNCIL IS CONCERNED WITH. THESE MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPERS COME INTO OUR CITY, MAKE MASSIVE PROFITS, THEN LEAVE THIS COUNCIL AND THE RESIDENTS WITH THE PROBLEM TO DEAL WITH. IT IS SIMPLY TIME TO SAY NOT IN. RECENTLY SHAWN COLLEGE ON THE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION PRESENTED A REPORT -- SORRY -- PRESENTED A REPORT ON BUILDING IN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA. MR. LLEGE SAID THE L PROBLEM WE HAVE IS EVACUATION TIME. HE SAYS IF YOU INCREASE THE POPULATION, YOU INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE GETTING IN THEIR CARS AND LEAVE. HE SAID YOU CAN NO LONGER GET ALL THE PEOPLE OUT IN THE COMP PLAN. POTENTIAL FOR PEOPLE TO BE SNUCK THEIR CARS AND IN DANGER DURING A STORM SURGE EVENT. POWERFUL STATEMENT OF THE DANGER WE ARE IN. THE 2015 FLOOD ACT REQUIRES STOYS ADOPT GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES AND STRATEGIES INTO THE COASTAL MANAGEMENT OF THEIR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. TAMPA HAS COMPLIED WITH THAT LETTER OF THE LAW BUT NOT THE SPIRIT OF THAT LAW. EVEN THOUGH EXACT WORDING FROM THAT LAW WAS ADDED TO THAT COMP PLAN, NO CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO HOW REZONINGS ARE EVALUATED. THESE GOALS OF COASTAL MANAGEMENT ARE NOT PART OF THE DECISION WHETHER A REZONING IS CONSISTENT OR INCONSISTENT WITH THE COMP PLAN. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CLEARLY STATES THAT INTENSE DENSITY AND URBANIZATION IS DIRECTED AWAY FROM SOUTH TAMPA AND THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA. I HOPE MR. MANISCALCO AND ALL OF THE CITY COUNCIL UNDERSTANDS HOW DANGEROUS IT IS TO PUT HIGH DENSITY MULTIFAMILY IN OR NEAR THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA AND EVACUATION ZONE A. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU. NEXT GO TO SYDNEY SPARKS. >> MY NAME IS SYDNEY SPARKS. I LIVE IN BEACH PARK WHICH IS MR. MANISCALCO'S DISTRICT. I HAVE LIVED IN SOUTH.TAMPA MY WHOLE LIFE AND I STRONGLY OPPOSE THE REZONING OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4465 AND 4467 GANDY BOULEVARD. THE ISSUE I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO IS OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. AS A STUDENT, I ATTENDED MABRY ELEMENTARY, COLEMAN MIDDLE AND GRADUATED FROM PLANT HIGH SCHOOL. I KNOW FIRST HAND WHAT STUDENTS AND TEACHERS FACE WITH OVERCROWDED SCHOOLS. WHEN SIZES INCREASE TEACHERS AREN'T ABLE TO GIVE ONE ON ONE INSTRUCTION AND CAUSES STUDENTS TO FULL FURTHER BEHIND. AND MORE OPPORTUTIES FOR CONFLICT, DETENTION AND MORE DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR. OVERCROWDING LEADS TO LESS ACCESS TO SCHOOL EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR SCIENCE LAB AND COMPUTER LABS. IT ALSO LEADS TO LESS SPACE ON CAMPUS WHICH RESULTS IN SOME STUDENTS NOT HAVING A PLACE TO EAT LUNCH BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH ROOM IN THE CAFETERIA. OUR SCHOOLS ARE SO OVERCROWDED THAT MANY STUDENTS EAT IN THE HALLWAYS BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR EVERYBODY TO HAVE SEAT IN THE CAFETERIA AND SOME SCHOOLS HAVE TO SERVE LUNCH A 10:30 FOR EVERYONE TO HAVE AN ABILITY TO EAT. AS A RESIDENT OF BEACH PARK. OUR SCHOOLS ARE OVERCROWDED ENOUGH AND I THANK CITY COUNCIL FOR SPEAKING ON THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU. MISS MADAM DEPUTY CLERK DOWN TO THE LAST FIVE. >>CLERK: YES, ANA D. DIEGO IS STILL ON LINE AND NEEDS TO ENABLE HER VIDEO AND SWORN IN AS WELL. WE ALSO HAVE STEPHANIE DOCILE. SHE NEED TO ENABLE HER VIDEO AS WELL. >> MR. CHAIR, MAY I. >> MR. VIERA, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>LUIS VIERA: CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, DID WE IMPLEMENT A RULE AND ADDRESS -- BECAUSE 9:00 -- HAVING TO DO A MOTION TO GO PAST 11. >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES, SIR, WE DID. JUST TO LET EVERYBODY TO BE PREPARED FOR THAT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. SHELBY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN CLARIFY AND WORKING WITH THE CHAIR ABOUT THIS BUT YOU DID DO THAT BY MOTION TO AMEND YOUR RULES, BUT YR RULES HAVEN'T BEEN FORMALLY AMENDED YET, BUT CERTAINLY IT IS A SUBJECT THAT IS WORTHY OF DISCUSSION IF COUNCIL WANTS TO DO SO. >>LUIS VIERA: IF I MAY, MR. CHAIR, THAT IS FOR ANOTHER TIME. I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE WERE BOUND BY THAT FOR PURPOSES FOR TONIGHT. IF NOT, THAT IS FINE. I WANTED TO ADDRESS THAT IN CASE WE HAVE TO VOTE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I THINK ONCE WE GET PAST ITEM TWO, WE MAY BE ABLE TO BEAT THE TIME. >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT, COUNCILMAN VIERA. >>CLERK: SAMANTHA SPARKS AND ANA DIEGO ON THE LINE -- >>ORLANDO GUDES: CARROLL MOORE AND CHRISTINA -- >>CLERK: CAROL IS NOT LOGGED ON. WHO IS THE OTHER PERSON? >>ORLANDO GUDES: DANA GORDON. >>CLERK: THAT TN CIRCUMSTANCES WORKING WITH RIGHT NOW. >>ORLANDO GUDES: CHRISTINE THAT ROTHSTEIN. >>CLERK: SHE WAS THE ONE ON FOR ANOTHER ITEM. SO WE ARE SET. YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: GO AHEAD AND SWEAR IN THESE TWO LADIES, MISS DOCILE AND MISS SPARKS. >> PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM YOU WILL TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MISS DOCILE. >> GOOD EVENING ALREADY THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME ON. WE ARE OFF OF 4605 SOUTH CORTEZ AVENUE. WE ARE COMPLETELY OPPOSED TO THIS 313-UNIT DEVELOPMENT THAT IS LESS THAN 200 FEET FROM OUR FRONT DOOR. WE HAVE 19 CHILDREN ON CORTEZ ALONE. OUR CHILDREN ARE GROWING UP RIGHT NOW. THEY ARE ALL UNDER THE AGE OF 10. AND THIS IS AN EXTREME CONCERN FOR US. SPEED BUMPS AND CROSSWALKS WOULD SOMEWHAT BE HELPFUL BUT DOESN'T HELP THE PARKING RATIO. AND THOUGH THE MAIN ENTRANCES, YOU KNOW -- IT IS A BIG DEBATE WHETHER IT WILL BEN OAKELLAR OR WHETHER ON GANDY, THE CITY ENTRANCE, THERE IS THE POST OFFICE RIGHT THERE. WE HAVE HAD -- WE HAVE HAD A NIGHTMARE WITH THE CROSSTOWN TRAFFIC BEING REDIRECTED AND THE CUT-THRU TRAFFIC THROUGH CORTEZ ALONE. AND IT IS JUST BEEN -- WE JUST -- WE ARE JUST NOW GETTING A RELIEF WITH THE CROSSTOWN BEING OPEN, AND NOW WE HAVE ANOTHER NIGHTMARE ON OUR HANDS WITH THIS 313-UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX. ALSO, INCLUDED IN THE PLANS WITH THE SOUTH TAMPA JUJITSU BUILDING. MY SON GOES THERE MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. SO MANY OTHER KIDS IN OUR COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW, THAT -- IT IS SUCH A PLACE FOR THEM TO HAVE -- YOU KNOW, LITTLE EXTRACURRICULAR PLACE TO GO TO. ANOTHER SMALL BUSINESS WE LIKE TO SUPPORT IS 81 BAY, WHICH OUR FAMILY -- IT IS ANOTHER LITTLE OUTLET FOR US TO GO TO. IT IS JUST -- AND ANOTHER THING THAT WASN'T CONSIDERED AND I APPRECIATE THE YOUNG LADY PRIOR TO ME IS THE SCHOOLS. WHERE ARE THOSE KIDS GOING TO SCHO? MY SON -- YOU KNOW IT IS HARD NOW GET THEM INTO A GOOD SCHOOL DISTRICT AND, YOU KNOW, TO BE PART OF A GOOD COMMUNITY. , AND WHERE ARE ALL THESE KIDS GOING TO GO? LIKE, THESE NURSES AND THESE DOCTORS, ARE THEY GOING TO COME -- ARE THEY NOT GOING TO HAVE FAMILIES YOU? KNOW. ANOTHER THING, YOU KNOW, ON OUR LIST WAS, YOU KNOW, JUST -- JUST -- JUST THE TRAFFIC AND THE SAFETY FOR OUR CHILDREN AND I DO APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. I HATE TO RAMBLE. I COULD GO ON AND ON BUT THE MAIN CONCERN FOR OUR FAMILY IS SAFETY FOR OUR CHILDREN. LIKE I SAID 19 KIDS ON OUR STREET ALONE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU. GO TO SAMANTHA SPARKS. >> MY NAME IS A MAN THAT SP SPARKS. AND I LIVE ON BEACH PARK WHICH IS MR. MANISCALCO'S DISTRICT. I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN SOUTH TAMPA AND I FIRMLY OPPOSE THE REZONING OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4465 AND 4467 GANDY BOULEVARD. ATTENDED PUBLIC SCHOOL FOR THE PAST 12 YEARS, AND I AM CURRENTLY A GRADUATING SENIOR AT PLANT HIGH SCHOOL. WE HAVE HEARD MANY DISCUSSINGS TONIGHT REGARDING THE ISSUE CAUSED BY THESE MULTIFAMILY COMPLEXES. BUT WHAT I HOPE YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION IS THE IMPACT DEVELOPMENT HAS ON OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. OVERCROWDING IS ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ISSUES FACING OUR SCHOOLS, STUDENTS AND TEACHERS TODAY. IT REDUCES STUDENTS' ABILITY TO PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS AND LEAD TO INCREASES IN BULLYING AND SCHOOL VIOLENCE. STUDENTS IN OVERCROWDED SCHOOLS LEARN LS OR ACHIEVE LESS WITH INSTRUCTIONAL TIME, LIMITED ACCESS TO HONOR AND AP CLASSES AND LIMITED OR NO ACCESS TO VALUABLE RESOURCES SUCH AS TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE LABS. WHEN THERE ARE MORE STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM, THE INCREASED NOISE LEVEL MAKE IT HARDER FOR TEACHERS TO TEACH AND STUDENTS TO CONCENTRATE. THINK OF THE VALUABLE TIMES THIS ARE WASTED AND LESSONS MISSED WHEN TEACHESER FOCUS ON CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT AND NOISE CONTROL. TEACHER BURNOUT AND MANY EXCELLENT TEACHERS ENDS UP LEAVIN THE PROFESSION BECAUSE IT IS NOT WORTH THE STRESS THEY DEAL WITH ON A DAILY BASIS. AS A CURRENT HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR AND RESIDENT OF BEACH PARK, I AM STRONGLY OPPOSED TO THE REZONING OF THIS PROPERTY TO MULTIFAMILY. ALL THAT MR. MANISCALCO AND THE OTHER COUNCILMEMBERS WILL SUPPORT THE PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS RESIDENTS IN SOUTH TAMPA. THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER, I SAW YOUR HAND. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED SIR. DINGFELDER DUNGY I DON'T KNOW THE SPARKS FAMILY AND I DON'T KNOW HOW I AM GOING TO VOTE AND I AM NOT COMMENTING ON THE TEXT -- ON THE COMMENTS THAT THE SPARK FAMILY GAVE, BUT GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO MISS SPARKS THE MOTHER FOR RAISING TWO GREAT DAUGHTERS WHO ARE WILLING TO STAY UP LATE AND TALK ON CIVIC ISSUES. WE APPRECIATE THAT AND THE POISE YOU HAVE PRESENTED TONIGHT IS VERY IMPRESSIVE, YOU AND YOUR STAR. THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALL RIGHT, MADAM DEPUTY CLERK. WHAT DO WE HAVE LEFT? >>CLERK: THE ONLY ONE WE HAVE LEFT IS ANA D. DIEGO AND HAS NOT ENABLED HER VIDEO AND I AM ASSUMING SHE DOESN'T WT TO SPEAK AND DANA GORDON IS NOT ABLE TO JOIN BECAUSE HER DEVICE IS NOT COMPATIBLE TO GO TO W WEBINAR SO THAT WILL CONCLUDE PUBLIC COMMENT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, MA'AM. GO TO REBUTTAL, MR. MICHELINI. >> A NICE LONG EVENING WITH YOU FOLKS AND I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. LET ME START BY SAYING FOR THE RECORD THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT HAS BEEN PUT ON THE RECORD BY VARIOUS INDIVIDUALS SPEAKING IN OPPOSITION TO THIS HAVE THAT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REZONING. THEY ARE -- SOME HAVE TO DO WITH CIVIL ISSUES. SOME HAVE TO DO WITH SCHOOL CONCURRENCY AND ALREADY GOTTEN LETTER FROM THE SCHOOL INDICATING THAT IS HAPPENING. WE SUBMITTED A LEGITIMATE TRANSPORTATION PLAN AND COORDINATION WITH THE MOBILITY DEPARTMENT WHICH THEY ACCEPTED. THIS ISN'T ABOUT THE COMPONENTS THAT GO INTO A COMMERCIAL CENTER. YOU CAN BUILD A REGIONAL SHOPPING CENTER HERE WITH 20 RESTAURANTS BY RIGHT AND MAINTAIN TWO ACCESSES OFF OF OAKA REZONING. WE ARE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. AND THAT IS REGARDING DECREASING THE DENSITY AND GOING FROM COMMERCIAL TO A RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT. WE ARE MEETING THE FLOOD ZONE ELEVATION REQUIREMENT. WE CAN NOT INCREASE FLOODING. THAT IS A TECHNICAL STANDARD. WE CAN NOT INCREASE TRAFFIC. THAT IS ALSO A TECHNICAL STANDARD. BUT ANYWAY, WITH RESPECT TO THE COMMENTS AND THE COUNCIL'S T TIME, WE WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOU CONTINUE THIS IT. LET US GO BACK, WORK WITH THE STAFF. LET US COME BACK WITH A PLAN THAT IS BETTER AND MORE PALATABLE. AND WE -- WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY DO THAT. REWORK THE SITE PLAN. MAKE SURE THAT THE COMPONENTS OF THAT SITE PLAN ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE STAFF AND I REALIZE THAT WILL REQUIRE SOME TIME. SO I AM ASSUMING THAT IF THAT IS A POSSIBILITY FROM THE COUNCIL TO GO BACK AND RESTUDY THIS ISSUE, THAT IS PROBABLY PUTS US INTO OCTOBER SO I WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT WE CONTINUE THIS MATTER UNTIL OCTOBER, AND IF NECESSARY, THEN WE WOULD ALSO RENOTICE THE -- THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: QUESTION BEFORE WE GO THERE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MR. MICHELINI BEFORE WE -- BEFORE WE JUMP INTO THE CONTINUANCE, THE QUESTION I ASKED EARLIER IN THE EVENING ABOUT CORDONING OFF THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NORTH LITERALLY BLOCKING OFF THAT -- THAT CURRENT ACCESS AND TAKING ALL THIS TRAFFIC OUT TO GANDY. . IS THAT SOMETHING THAT -- A, SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN LEGALLY DO WITH YOUR -- WITH YOUR EXISTING CROSS-ACCESS. B, IS IT SOMETHING YOU LOOKED INTO. AND C, -- WELL, GIVE ME A AND B AND THEN I WILL MENTION C. >> YES, SIR. THE ISSUE THAT WE HAVE IS THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT CRS-ACSS ON THE WESTERNMOST DRIVEWAY DOESN'T EFFECT ANY OF THE OTHER INTERNAL PROPERTIES, FOR EXAMPLE, IT DOESN'T EFFECT GRACE CHURCH TO THE NORTH. AND I AM JUST NOT SURE. I CAN'T TELL YOU, YOU KNOW, THIS EVENING THAT THAT IS AN ISSUE. AS THE OWNER HAS REPRESENTED -- AS REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE OWNER, THEY DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE OF ELIMINATING THE DRIVEWAY ON THE WEST SIDE. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I AM HAVING TROUBLE WEST SIDE, NORTH SIDE. WHAT I AM SAYING ELIMINATE ALL OF THE AESS TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND JUST TAKE ALL OF YOUR TRAFFIC OUT TO GANDY. THAT IS WHAT I AM GETTING AT, STEVE. >> YES, SIR. WE ALREADY COMMITTED TO REMOVING THE EAST DRIVE, THE WEST DRIVE I DON'T KNOW ABOUT CR BECAUSE THERE MAY BE A CROSS-ACCESS THAT CONTROLS T THAT. BUT WE DON'T HAVE AN OBJECTION TO THAT. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I AM SURE IT IS NOT A NOVEL THOUGHT, BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN -- I HAVE BEEN, ONCE AGAIN, READING THESE 70 LETTERS IN OPPOSITION AND MANY, MANY OF THEM JUST LIKE THE PEOPLE WHO SPOKE TONIGHT WHO LIVE BACK THEREN COEZ, ETC. , THEY HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU GUYS THAT THEY DON'T WANT THIS TRAFFIC COMING THROUGH THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD FOR MONTHS. SO THIS IS NOT JOHN DING DINGFELDER'S NOVEL IDEA. >> I UNDERSTAND COUNCILMAN. IF YOU WOULD PREFER, WE COULD -- WE COULD ASK FOR A CONTINUANCE FOR COUPLE OF WEEKS JUST TO EXPLORE THAT ONE PARTICULAR ITEM, BUT IT DOES INVOLVE A SITE PLAN CHANGE THAT REQUIRES A CITY STAFF TO LOOK AT IT. IT IS ONLY ONE DEPARTMENT, BUT THAT WOULD REQUIRE A CONTINUANCE FOR AT LEAST THREE WEEKS BECAUSE THEY NEED TWO WEEKS IN TERMS TO -- RHINE VINE ON -- RYAN MANASSE IS ON LINE AND HE CAN TELL YOU HOW MUCH TIME FOR THAT CHANGE. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THAT IS NOT MY ONLY ISSUE BUT A BIG ISSUE FOR THOSE WHO LIVE IMMEDIATELY TO THE PROJECT. >> I UNDERSTAND AND WHY I WAS SUGGESTING AND REQUESTING A CONTINUANCE TO RESOLVEHAT ISSUE AND THEN -- IF YOU HAVE OTHER ISSUE, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR WHAT THEY ARE SO WE CAN ADDRESS THEM. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYONE ELSE? MISS WELLS, ARE YOU STILL THERE. >>CATE WELLS: YES, I AM, MR. CHAIRMAN. ONE THING I WANTED TO MENTION FOR THE RECORD, MR. MICHELINI IN HIS PRESENTATION MADE REFERENCE TO HOW HIS CLIENT IS WORKING WITH MOBILITY. AND LOOKING AT PROVIDING O OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WOULD HELP THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. I SPOKE WITH MR. MICHELINI THIS WEEK A COUPLE OF TIMES ON THIS ISSUE AND I AM SURPRISED THAT HE BROUGHT THAT UP IN HIS PRESENTATION, BECAUSE WE MADE IT CLEAR TO HIM THAT WHATEVER NEGOTIATIONS ARE UNDER WAY WITH MOBILITY, THAT IS A COMPLETELY SEPARATE DISCUSSION AND AGREEMENT THAT HIS CLIENT WOULD HAVE WITH MOBILITY AND WOULD NOT BE PART OF THIS REZONING APPLICATION. IT WOULD NOT BE INCLUDED AS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL. SO I WANTED COUNCIL TO BE CLEAR ON THAT POINT GIVEN THAT WAS INCLUDED IN HIS PRESENTATION, BUT IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT THIS COUNCIL CAN CONSIDER IF YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE ACTION THIS EVENING. >> I APOLOGIZE TO ATTORNEY WELLS. I WASN'T INDICATING THAT IT SHOULD BE PART OF THE SITE PLAN. IT WAS A STATEMENT THAT WE WERE WORKING WITH THEM. WE CAN NOT COMMIT TO OFFSITE IMPROVEMENTS. AND I THOUGHT I ALSO SAID THAT. BUT THE DRIVEWAY THAT MR. DINGFELDER WAS REFERRING TO IS ON OUR SITE. GUDES MISS WELLS, I WANT TO GET BACK EARLIER THE ATTORNEY THAT CAME IN AND TALKED ABOUT POSSIBLE PENDING LAWSUIT TO THIS PROPERTY AND NOT KNOWING THE PROPERTY OWNERS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT -- WHAT FLOOR YOU NEED TO GET ON WITH THAT QUESTION, BUT I AM JUST CUR CURIOUS, DOES YOUR CLIENT -- ARE THEY IN PENDINGLY LITIGATION OF THE PROJECT. DO THEY OWN THE PROPERTY BEFORE COUNCIL MAKE ANY DECISION ON THIS. >> THIS PROPERTY IS OWNED OUTRIGHT BY THE PETITIONER. AND THEY HAVE THE TITLE AND THE DEED T -- THAT REFLECTS ALL OF THAT, AS WELL AS THE OWNERSHIP DOCUMENTS. BUT, AGAIN, WE ARE GETTING INTO A CIVIL ISSUE. AND I WAS TRYING TO AVOID THAT BECAUSE WE ALSO HAD THE CIVIL ISSUE REGARDING THE BREWERY. >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE ARE IN LITIGATION BASICALLY. >> YES, SIR. THERE IS LITIGAION INVOLVING THE BREWERY. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MISS WELLS, WHAT IS THIS BOARD'S ROLE -- WE HAVE A PETITIONER COMING FORWARD TO GET AN APPROVAL ON A ZONING, AND THEY HAVE -- THEY ARE IN CURRENT LITIGATION. >>CATE WELLS: WELL, I CAN'T SPEAK TO ANY THE LITIGATION. THERE HAS BEEN ONE COMMENT THAT THERE IS PENNING LITIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THE OWNERSHIP. BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING NOR WOULD OUR OFFICE ROUTINELY CHECK PUBLIC RECORDS AND CONFIRM OWNERSHIP. THE APPLICATION INCLUDES TWO AGENT AUTHORIZATIONS FROM TWO SEPARATE PROPERTY OWNERS. AN WE HAVE TO RELY ON THAT DOCUMENTATION AS EVIDENCE THAT THE TWO ENTITIES THAT SUBMITTED THIS APPLICATI ARE, IN FACT, THE OWNERS, AND ARE AUTHORIZING JOHN LUM AND OTHERS TO PROCEED ON THEIR BEHALF. WE HAVE TO RELY ON THAT. WE DON'T INDEPENDENTLY REVIEW THAT. IF, HOWEVER, THE ATTORNEY FOR GRACE CHURCH BELIEVES THAT THERE IS A GENUINE DISPUTE AS TO OWNERSHIP, THEN THAT IS A CONVERSATION THAT CAN BE HAD SEPARATE FROM OUTSIDE OF THIS HEARING. THAT HAS NOT BEEN RAISED TO DATE. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ATTORNEY HAS REACHED OUT TO ANYBODY WITH THE CITY TO RAISE THAT AA QUESTION AS TO WHETHER THIS YOU KNOW, ASKING MR. MICHELINI TO CONFIRM THE OWNERSHIP ON THE RECORD, THERE'S NOTHING INAPPROPRIATE WITH THAT. WITH REGARD TO LITIGATION BETWEEN THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY AND TENANTS THAT IS SEPARATE AND APART FROM YOUR CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING, IT SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. A DISPUTE WITH REGARDS TO THE OWNERSHIP OUTSIDE ANYTHING WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO RESOLVE TONIGHT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I JUST HAVE A CONCERN OF THE POSSIBLE TAKING AND YOU DON'T HAVE CLEAR FACTS. EVERYTHING IS NOT THERE, APPEARS TO BE NOT THERE. LIKE YOU SAID, WE CAN'T TONIGHT APPROVE THAT, OR GET THOSE FACTS. SO I'M KIND OF LEERY AT THIS POINT, BECAUSE ALL THE INFORMATION WITH THE CHURCH ATTORNEY COMING IN HERE, I JUST DON'T KNOW. >>CATE WELLS: IF THIS COUNCIL WERE TO TAKE ACTION THIS EVENING, IT WOULD NOT CONSTITUTE A TAKING, IN MY OPINION, BECAUSE AGAIN YOU ARE RELYING ON WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO RELY ON THE APPLICATION AS FILED. THEY HAVE SUBMITTED DOCUMENTATION, IDENTIFYING WHO THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE, AND WE HAVE AGENT AUTHORIZATION TO RELY ON. SO TO THE EXTENT THAT THERE'S A QUESTION, THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THAT APPLICATION, THAT WOULD BE FOR THE CHALLENGING PARTY TO ADDRESS THAT SEPARATELY. BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IF COUNCIL WERE TO TAKE ACTION THIS EVENING THAT IT WOULD CONSTITUTE A TAKING OF THAT BASED UPON THE ALLEGATIONS. AT THIS POINT THEY ARE JUST ALLEGATIONS THAT SOME ENTITY, UNIFIED AS THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL, AND THERE'S PENDING LITIGATION. AT THIS POINT, AS LONG AS THE SITE PLAN THAT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED FOR THE PROPERTY, THAT IS IDENTIFIED IN THE APPLICATION, AND IN FACT THE TWO IS NOTHING INAPPROPRIATE ABOUTE COUNCIL MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS APPLICATION. >>ORLANDO GUDES: IS PLANNING COMMISSION STILL ON? IF NOT -- THERE SHE IS, MS. MALONE. I KEEP HEARING IN THIS APPLICATION THERE IS NO BUS LINE ON BUSY GANDY BOULEVARD? IS THAT CORRECT? >>JENNIFER MALONE: OUR STAFF REPORT SAYS -- I AM NOT HART. I AM NOT A HART REPRESENTATIVE, BUT I CAN CERTAINLY CHECK THE HART MAP. BUT THAT IS MY PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGE AT THIS MOMENT, YES. >>ORLANDO GUDES: UNBELIEVABLE. THIS IS GANDY BOULEVARD. NO BUS ROUTE? THANK YOU, MS. A MALONE. >>JENNIFER MALONE: YOU'RE WELCOME. >>STEVE MICHELINI: MR. CHAIRMAN, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF SIGNIFICANT ISSUES THAT WE WOULD REALLY LIKE TO RESOLVE. AND AGAIN I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT WE CONTINUE THIS HEARING SO THAT WE CAN ADDRESS THE BRING THE NECESSARY PROOF OF OWNERSHIP TO THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, RESOLVE THE ISSUES REGARDING ACCESS. OUR PARKING NUMBERS, WHEN WE SWITCHED THEM, AND RECONFIGURED THE PARKING LOT, THEY DON'T MATCH WHAT'S ON THE SITE PLAN THAT THE CITY STAFF HAS, AND I THINK WE RESPECTFULLY WOULD REQUEST THAT WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THOSE ADJUSTMENTS, COME BACK TO YOU, GIVE US ENOUGH TIME. WE HAVE HAD TWO NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS. WE CAN CERTAINLY HAVE MORE. AND TRY TO REACH SOME UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IS POSSIBLE HERE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I SAW MR. MANASSE. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED, SIR. >>RYAN MANASSE: WANTS TO LET YOU KNOW THAT OUR SCHEDULES ARE PRETTY PACKED SO I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT WITH A CONTINUANCE THAT -- A COUPLE OF CONTINUANCES THAT WE ALREADY DEALT WITH TODAY, REZONING NIGHTS ARE OUT UNTIL NOVEMBER. AND THAT WOULD BE THE EARLIEST DAY I CAN STAY WITHIN THE LIMIT AND PLACE ANOTHER HEARING, SO JUST FOR YOUR REFERENCE, SIR. ORLAO GUDES: YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> JUST TO THE CONTINUANCE, I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD PUNISH THIS APPLICANT BECAUSE WE HAVE TRADITIONALLY ALLOWED CONTINUANCES, BUT I WISH THAT WE COULD HONOR THE RULE THAT WOULD PROHIBIT CONTINUANCES AFTER THE PRESENTATION IS ALREADY STARTED. BUT STAFF HAS ASKED US MANY TIMES TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT WE ARE SPENDING ON ALL THESE THINGS, LIMITED TIME AT MEETINGS. IT SEEMS TO BE THE THING THAT'S TAKING THE MOST TIME IS CONTINUANCES. IT'S NOT FAIR TO THE PUBLIC, AND IF WE ALLOW THIS FOR TONIGHT, WE DEFINITELY SHOULD REQUIRE NOTIFICATION, WHICH MR. MICHELINI OFFERS ANYWAY. BUT IT'S NOT FAIR TO THE PUBLIC, THE PEOPLE WATCH, THEY SCHEDULE, THEY COME OUT, THEY TAKE AWAY FROM THEIR FAMILY TIME, AND IT'S NOT FAIR TO CONTINUE, BUT THAT'S A DISCUSSION INFORM ANOTHER DAY. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. SHELBY, A WORKSHOP DAY AND TAKE THAT ISSUE UP? MR. SHELBY? >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT WOULD BE FINE SIR. AS A MATTER OF FACT, I AM GOING TO BE BRINGING -- IF IT'S COUNCIL'S PLEASURE WE CAN BRING IT UP NEXT WEEK AT THE REGULAR MEETING AND RENEW THAT. WE CAN EVEN ADD THAT TO THE LIST OF THINGS THAT WILL BE ADDRESSED IF THAT'S COUNCIL'S PLEASURE DURING THE REVISION OF THE RULES OF PROCEDURE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES, SIR? >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AGREE WITH THE CONSENSUS. I FEEL THAT MR. CARLSON AND YOURSELF AND OTHERS, CONTINUATION IS ONE THING, BUT THK IF WE DO CONTINUES THIS, WE OUGHT TO PUT A TIME LIMIT. WE HAVE ALREADY HAD DOCUMENTATION FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THOSE THAT ARE AFFECTED THE MOST, AND WE SHOULD KEEP IT TO TWO OR THREE ITEMS, OR WHATEVER IT IS, BUT WE SHOULD TO EACH SIDE.N 15 OR 20 MINUTES- ONE SIDE GETS A COUPLE OF SPOKES BERN'S, AND THEY HAVE VERY WELL-SPOKEN INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE SPOKEN TONIGHT AND OF COURSE THE PETITIONER HAS THE SAME 15 MINUTES, AND 30 MINUTES, AND I THINK THAT SHOULD DO IT. I MEAN, THERE'S ISSUES HERE, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. AND IT'S GOING TO BE RESOLVED ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD OR ANYONE EMS. I KNOW THE CITY -- THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE HAVE HAD SO MUCH WORK IN THIS DEPARTMENT THAT THEY CAN'T SWIM FORWARD FAST ENOUGH BECAUSE THE TIDE IS COMING AGAINST THEM. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. SHELBY, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, JUST ONE MORE COMMENT AS AN ASIDE TO THE PUBLIC WITH REGARD TO THE CHAT FUNCTION. A REMINDER TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT THE CHAT FUNCTION IS NOT TO BE USED TO COMMUNICATE SUBSTANTIVE MATTERS DURING THE HEARING. IF YOU HAVE TECHNICAL ISSUES, THAT'S ONE THING. BUT THOSE PEOPLE WHO DO USE THE CHAT FUNCTION VERY WELL RISK BEING BUMPED FROM THE PLATFORM AND BEING UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE THROUGH THAT MEDIUM, IF THEY USE THAT CHAT FUNCTION FOR COMMUNICATING TO COUNCIL MEMBERS OR AMONGST THEMSELVES, WHICH IS ACCESSIBLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN TECHNICAL PURPOSES OR PROBLEMS. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE THE PUBLIC VERY CLEAR THAT THEY PUT THEMSELVES AT RISK OF BEING ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IF THAT CHAT FUNCTION IS MISUSED. >>ORLANDO GUDE THK YOU, SIR. MR. VIERA. >>LUIS VIERA: I THINK WE HAVE CONSENSUS ON CONTINUING THIS FOR THE PURPOSE OF TIME, AND I DON'T WANT TO BELABOR THE POINT ANYMORE. IF YOU ALL WOULD ENTERTAIN THE CONTINUANCE MOTION? I SO MOVE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION BY VIERA. MR. SHELBY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: I JUST WANT CLARIFICATION AS TO THE SPECIFIC DATE, THE SPECIFIC TIME, AND WHETHER THERE'S GOING TO BE A RENOTICE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. >>LUIS VIERA: I WOULD MOVE WITH RENOTICE, OBVIOUSLY, IF I MAY, AND THAT THE FIRST AVAILABLE IN NOVEMBER, THE APPLICANT IS AMENABLE WITH THAT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: NOVEMBER, CORRECT SIR? >>RYAN MANASSE: YES, SIR, CHAIR. NOVEMBER 18th IS THE REZONING NIGHT PUBLIC HEARING, AND 6:00 P.M. AGAIN, JUST FOR THE RECORD, WE ARE TAKING CASES IN THERE, SO THIS WOULD HOLD UP ANOTHER SPOT FOR POSSIBLE CASES THAT HAVEN'T MET THE DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION YET. BUT THAT IS THE NEXT AVAILABLE REZONING NIGHT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: LET ME CAUTION YOU ABOUT SOMETHING. THE NIGHT THAT WE HAD TONIGHT, IT'S ALMOST GOING ON AFTER 9:00 NOW. I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T GET BACK ON THAT. I'M SURE THIS HEARING HERE TONIGHT, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE SHOW UP. SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I KNOW WE ARE TRYING TO GET THEM IN, BUT AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS GOING TO BE HOT TOPICS, AND WE ARE HERE ALL NIGHT ON THE 58 H 18th. >>RYAN MANASSE: CHAIR, I WOULDN'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THAT UNLESS CATE, CAN WE LIMIT -- WE DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE CASES ALREADY. I'M NOT SURE HOW THE CHAIR WANTS TO HANDLE THAT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I WE ALREADY NOTICE THAT. WE HAVE GOT THIS AMOUNT OF TIME. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN. >>LUIS VIERA: >> YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOU RAISE A VERY INTERESTING POINT AND A VALID DISCUSSION AND RELATES BACK TO COUNCILMAN CARLSON'S INITIAL CONCERNS, BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF THIS CONTINUANCE IS IF THEY COME BACK WITH A TOTALLY REVISED SITE PLAN, AND IT'S A DIFFERENT PROJECT IN AND OF ITSELF, THEN IT RAISES THE DIFFICULTY OF LIMITING PEOPLE'S OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS IT ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE AN INTERESTS IN IT, A LEGAL INTEREST IN IT, TO LIMIT THAT. SO THAT IS AN ADDITIONAL RISK THAT YOU TAKE WHEN YOU GRANT THESE CONTINUANCES. SO IT MAY BE SOMETHING THAT WE MAY CONSIDER DOWN THE ROAD.@>> . >>CATE WELLS: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. THE ONE CHALLENGE WITH SCHEDULING IS WHENHE APPLICATIONS ARE BEING RECEIVED, THEY ARE SO FAR IN ADVANCE OF THE TENTATIVE HEARING DATE, AND AT THAT POINT IT'S NOT POSSIBLE FOR STAFF TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE APPLICATIONS ARE GOING TO BE CONTROVERSIAL. SO I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING DISCUSSION FOR CITY COUNCIL, AND I AGREE THAT IT REQUIRES FURTHER ATTENTION, BUT TO ASK STAFF TO KEEP THE AGENDA LIGHT ON A CERTAIN EVENING, UNTIL WE GET CLOSE TO THAT EVENING, AND THE HEARINGS ARE ALREADY SET, THE APPLICATIONS ARE ALREADY SET, IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO TELL WHAT KIND OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION YOU ARE SO IT'S A WORTHWHILE CONVERSATION TO CONTINUE HAVING, AND I DON'T KNOW THAT I HAVE ANY ANSWER THIS EVENING HOW TO MANAGE THE AGENDA. BUT THAT'S THE CHALLENGE WITH YOUR REQUEST, MR. CHAIRMAN. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I CAN UNDERSTAND, BUT YOU HAVE ON THE h E HAVE THREE, BUT NOVEMBER DOESN'T HAVE AN APPLICATION DEADLINE UNTIL JULY 26th. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AGREE WITH YOU, WHAT MR. MANASSE WAS TRYING TO ADDRESS. I WOULD IMAGINE FOR CONTINUATION, SOMEONE WHO IS IN THE MODE OF APPLYING MAY BE THE ONE TO SELECT THAT. SO I AM NOT ANSWERING FOR THEM. I AM JUST SAYING REALITY IS, IF WE GO TO A CERTAIN LIMIT AND SOMEONE PASSES THAT LIMIT, THEN WHOEVER IS THE ONE THAT GOT LEFT OUT SHOULD HAVE BEENN. SO WE HAVE CONTINUATIONS. I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR. I AM JUST SAYING IN GENERAL. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. MANASSE. >>RYAN MANASSE: JUST TO BE CLEAR, TOO, IF THERE IS A POSSIBLE MOTION TO CONTINUE, I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR, BECAUSE I THINK MR. SHELBY STATED IT AS WELL, THE APPLICANT EXPECTED TO REDESIGN THE SITE AND RESUBMIT BECAUSE TYPICALLY BACK TO THE ARC REVIEW. SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT I PRESENTED BEFORE, WE HEARD PUBLIC COMMENT, WAS I HEARD DIFFERENT THINGS FROM MR. MICHELINI'S REPORT, BY REMOVING ANAGE ACCESS, I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHICH ONE. I HEARD ABOUT NORTHBOUND BEING REMOVED. I HEARD ABOUT 4-INCH TREES INSTEAD OF THE CODE REQUIRED ONES. I HEARD DISCUSSION ABOUT THE LOCK-IN TO TYPES OF UNITS. SO I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR FOR MY SIDE, AS FAR AS IF THE APPLICANT IS GOING TO RESUBMIT A SITE PLAN, I JUST NEED CLEAR DIRECTION ON WHAT THEY ARE RESUBMITTING TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS THAT WERE PRESENTED HERE TONIGHT, OR IF THEY ARE JUST RESUBMITTING A REVISED PLAN, AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO RESUBMIT BY A CERTAIN DEADLINE IN ORDER TO STAY ON TRACK WITH THAT NOVEMBER HEARING BECAUSE THAT STAFF HAS TO HAVE ADEQUATE TIME IF IT TAKES TWO OR MORE REVIEWERS TO MAKE SURE ALL THE REVIEWS ARE COMPLETED APPROPRIATELY AND PRESENT A REVISED STAFF REPORT TO COUNCIL. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I THINK AT THIS POINT THE APPLICANT IS ASKING -- IT WOULD BE ON THE APPLICANT, IT'S NOT ON US. WOULD I BE CORRECT WITH THAT? >> YES, SIR. AND SOMETIMES IS CONTINUED FOR A SPECIFIC REASON. SO IF MR. MICHELINI ADDRESSES THOSE FIVE ITEMS THAT I OUTLINED AND RESUBMITS, THEN STAFF IS SAYING, OKAY, IT'S ONLY GOING TO TAKE TWO OR LESS REREVIEWERS, THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH AN ARC REVIEW WHERE WE HAVE ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL REVIEW. IF THEY ARE JUST TALKING ABOUT AN EGRESS IT MAY BE OKAY, BUT JUST PARTIAL STAFF REVIEWING THAT. BUT JUST FOR THE RECORD I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WAS TALKED ABOUT TONIGHT, IF MR. MICHELINIAN PRESENT WHAT HE'S REQUESTING A CONTINUANCE FOR, TO ADDRESS SPECIFICALLY TO COUNCIL AS WELL AS STAFF, SO WE HAVE AN ACCURATE RECORD TO BE RESPONSIBLE ONCE HE DOES RESUBMIT THIS PLAN, NO TIMELY MANNER, SO STAFF CAN RE-REVIEW THIS. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THERE IS A MOTION BY VIERA, SECOND BY MANISCALCO. ANYTHING YOU CAN DISCUSS, MR. MICHELINI, SO THE STAFF CAN BE CLEAR? >>STEVE MICHELINI: LET ME MAKE SURE I DON'T MISS ANY OF THEM. ONE INVOLVED THE ACCESS ON OAKELLAR TO BE ADDRESSED. THE OTHER WHE REMOVAL OF BALCONIES ON THE OAKELLAR SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. THE OTHER WAS TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE TREES FROM TWO INCHES TO FOUR INCHES. TO ALSO ADDRESS THE GREEN SPACE WAIVER THAT WAS BEING REQUESTED. THE PARKING WAIVER THAT WAS BEING REQUESTED AND THE RECONFIGURATION OF THE PARKING LOT. DID I CATCH THEM ALL? RYAN, DID I MISS ANY? >>RYAN MANASSE: THERE WAS DISCUSSION ABOUT LOCK IN THE -- >>STEVE MICHELINI: OH, YES, THE MATRIX ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE TYPE OF UNITS. AND THE NUMBER OF UNITS. I THINK THERE WAS A VERSUS -- [NO ENCODER] ONE FINAL COMMENT IS THERE MAY BE OTHER ISSUES THAT WE DISCOVER IN THE PROCESS THAT WOLD HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED, AND WE CERTAINLY ARE NOT OBJECTING TO RUNNING IT THROUGH ANOTHER DRC, YOU KNOW, TO DEFINE AND REVIEW THOSE ISSUES. BUT AS RYAN SAID, YOUR DEADLINE IS JULY, SO WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME TO ADDRESS THAT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY MR. VIERA. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>MARTIN SHELBY: VERY BRIEFLY, COUNCIL, I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU, AND SPECIFICALLY YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, THAT I DID HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH ABBYE FEELEY TODAY ABOUT THIS VERY SUBJECT OF YOUR NIGHT MEETINGS, AND SHE HAS INFORMED ME THAT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CITY HAVE PICKED UP TREMENDOUSLY AND SHE HAS INFORMED ME THAT YOUR SCHEDULES PRETTY MUCH ARE NOW BOOKED UP THROUGH NOVEMBER. SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO, JUST TO INFORM COUNCIL, AND I WILL WORK WITH THE CHAIR AND MS. WELLS AND MRS. FEELEY, TO SET UP A MEETING WITH THE CHAIR TO DISCUSS THE ISSUES, IN ADVANCE OF BRINGING IT TO COUNCIL, BECAUSE THIS IS A CERTAIN CONCERN THAT'S BEEN EXPRESSED BY BOTH MS. WELLS AND MR. MANASSE TONIGHT AS WELL AS COUNCIL. YOU RECOGNIZE THE ISSUE THAT YOU ARE FACING. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU. >>STEVE MICHELINI: JUST FOR THE RECORD, WE ARE AGREEING TO A CONTINUANCE TO NOVEMBER 18thALITY 6:00 P.M. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION ON THE FLOOR. >>STEVE MICHELINI: YES, SIR. I WANTED TO CONFIRM THAT WE WERE AGREEING TO THAT. >>MARTIN SHELBY: AND WITH RENOTICE AGAIN? >>STEVE MICHELINI: WITH RENOTICE AND REPOSTING THE PROPERTY. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION BY VIERA, SECOND BY MANISCALCO. ROLL CALL VOTE, PLEASE. >>BILL CARLSON: YES. >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES. >>LUIS VIERA: YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: NO. >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED WITH CITRO BEING ABSENT AND DINGFELDER VOTING NO. >>STEVE MICHELINI: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COUNCIL. >> GENTLEMEN, ARE WE GOOD OR DO WE NEED FIVE MINUTES? >> UP TO THE CLERK. >> WE'LL TAKE FIVE MINUTES. TAKE A BREAK. (CITY COUNCIL RECESS) >>ORLANDO GUDES: ROLL CALL. ROLL CALL. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HERE. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: HERE. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: HERE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: HERE. >>THE CLERK: WE HAVE A PHYSICAL QUORUM PRESENT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ITEM NUMBER 5. MR. MANASSE? >>JOHN DINGFELDER: RYAN, YOU ARE UP. ITEM NUMBER 55. OR JENNIFER? NUMBER 5? NOBODY CAN HEAR US. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. MANASSE? >>ORLANDO GUDES: I.T.? CAN YOU HELP WITH THAT? MS. WELLS, ARE YOU THERE? MS. MALONE? >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IT FEELS LIKE THE TWILIGHT ZONE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CARLSON, CAN YOU HEAR US? >>JOHN DINGFELDER: NO NO? >>ORLANDO GUDES: IT'S AN I.T. PROBLEM. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: CATE, WE CAN'T HEAR YOU. CAN YOU HEAR US, CATE ARE? OKAY, NOBODY CAN HEAR US. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I BELIEVE WE HAVE AN I.T. PROBLEM. MR. SHELBY, CAN YOU RUN INTO THE HALL? >>JOHN DINGFELDER: HAVE RYAN LOG OUT AND LOG BACK IN. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S GOING TO HELP US. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I DON'T THINK MR. CARLSON CAN HELP US EITHER. I SEE BOTH LADIES RUNNING IN. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: LET'S SEE IF ERIC IS -- >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE ARE TRYING TO GET I.T. TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. ERIC, ARE YOU DOING TONIGHT'S >> YES.? I AM TALKING WITH CTTV RIGHT NOW. SO WEAK HEAR WEBINAR BUT WE CAN'T HEAR CHAMBERS. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: DO YOU WANT US TO TAKE ANOTHER FIVE-MINUTE BREAK? >> YES, PROBABLY GIVE ANOTHER TWO MORE MINUTES AND SEE IF WE CAN GET IT BACK UP. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALL RIGHT. BACK IN RECESS. (CITY COCIL RECESS). >>JOHN DINGFELDER: HERE. >>LUIS VIERA: HERE. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: HERE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: HERE. >>THE CLERK: WE HAVE A PHYSICAL QUORUM. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MADAM CLERK, IF YOU COULD JUST RECOGNIZE WHEN COUNCILMAN CARLSON ALSO JUST INED FOR THE PURPOSES -- CARLSON? >>MARTIN SHELBY: YES. >>THE CLERK: PRESENT. WE HAVE A PHYSICAL QUORUM. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. MANASSE, ITEM NUMBER 5. >>RYAN MANASSE: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. ITEM NUMBER 5 IS FILE NUMBER REZ 21-21. IT'S FOR A REQUEST TO REZONE PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED AT 704 EAST LAKE AVENUE AND THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS REZONING FROM RS-50 RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY TO PD FOR RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED. I WILL DEFER TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE RETURN TO ME AFTERWARDS. >>JOHNINGFDER: MR. CHAIRMAN, THE VOLUME IS A LITTLE LOW, WHOEVER IS CONTROLLING THAT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I.T., WILL PICK UP MR. MANASSE. MS. MALONE, YOU ARE UP. >>JENNIFER MALONE: PLANNING COMMISSION. REZ 21-21, THIS IS LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT, EAST TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE AND YBOR HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD, ON EAST LAKE AVENUE, JUST EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 275, AND THEN WE HAVE NEBRASKA AVENUE TO THE WEST. THIS IS RESIDENTIAL 10, THAT'S THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THE SURROUNDING AREA, AND THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 WHICH IS THE COLOR ALONG NEBRASKA AVENUE IS THE OTHER COMMERCIAL USES THAT ARE PRESENT ALONG NEBRASKA AVENUE. THE RED COLOR IS COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35, AND THAT ALSO ALLOWS COMMERCIAL USES AS WELL. THIS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, THE CLOSEST TRANSIT STOP IS APPROXIMATELY 1,000 FEET EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE ON NEBRASKA AVENUE NEXT TO TRANSIT. THE SUBJECT SITE ISOT LOCATED WITHIN AN EVACUATION ZONE. AND THE CLOSEST PUBLIC RECREATIONAL FACILITY IS FLORAL PARK, NEBRASKA AVENUE PARK, WHICH IS ABOUT A QUARTER MILE. SO THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DOES PROPOSE THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE FOR SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNIT AND OVERALL DENSITY OF 6 .74 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CURRENT NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE RESIDENTIAL 10 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ENCOURAGES THE IN-FILL HOUSING, ANDE DO FIND IT IS IN THE SAME LOT CONFIGURATION AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE OVERALL NEIGHBORHOOD. AND IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LONG-RANGE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AND VISION OF RESIDENTIAL 10. THAT DOES CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION. I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANY QUESTIONS, GENTLEMEN? MR. MANASSE? >>RYAN MANASSE: IF I COULD PLEASE SHARE MY SCREEN. IF YOU WILL LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU SEE THE WELCOME. >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE SEE IT. >>RYAN MANASSE: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION, AGAIN ITEM 5 IS REZ 21-21. THIS REQUEST BEFORE YOU DOES PROPOSE TWO WAIVERS, THAT COME FROM SECTION 27-240 AND ONE OF THEM IS TO INCREASE THE BLOCK FACE AVERAGE FROM 15.26 AS MIRED FROM EDGE OF PAVEMENT WHICH THERE'S A AS STATED IN THIS PROPOSED WAIVER AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IS TO REDUCE SIDE YARD EAST AND WEST SETBACK FROM FIVE FEET TO FOUR FEET. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO REZONE THIS PROPERTY AGAIN 4 -- 704 EAST LAKE AVENUE TO PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR CREATION OF A SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED LOT A TOTAL LOT AREA OF 6,075 FEET. THE LOT IS CURRENTLY VACANT. IT IS LOCATED IN THE EAST TAMPA OVERLAY AND MUST COMPLY WITH EAST TAMPA OVERLAY STANDARD, SECTION 240 AT THE TIME OF FINAL PERMITTING UNLESS WAIVED BY CITY COUNCIL. CODE SECTION 27-240 FOR THE RECORD STATES IN PART ANY RESIDENTIAL LOT OF RECORD EXISTING AS OF JANUARY 1st, 2000, WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE EAST TAMPA OVERLAY DISTRICT, BE BE CONFORMING AND MAY BE DEVELOPMENT WITH ANY OF THE UNDERLYING PERMITTED USES FOR THAT ZONING DISTRICT. THE SUBJECT LOT DOES NOT MEET THAT CRITERIA, BUT TO CORRECT SOME ENCROACH. ISSUES FROM THE ADJACENT PROPERTY TO THE EAST, THIS PD IS REQUIRED. THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT MAY NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM DENSITY ALLOWED BY THE ADOPTED CITY OF TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THIS APPLICATION IS REQUESTING ONE DWELLING UNIT. THE APPLICATION REQUEST FOR THE LOT AS CONFIGURED TO BE CONSTRUCTED WITH ONE DETACHED SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE. THE SITE IS LOCATED ONE LOT EAST OF EAST LAKE AVENUE AND NORTH TALIAFRO INTERSECTIONS. THE PROPOSED SETBACKS ARE NORTH 15 FEET, SOUTH 17 FEET, STAFF RECOMMENDS THE SITE PLAN SHOWS LESS THAN 18 FEET, AND THE REASON I PUT THAT THERE IS BECAUSE THERE WAS A DIMENSION THAT WAS LESS THAN 18 FEET SO WE ARE REQUESTING 17 FEET. THE EAST 4.5 FEET AND THE WEST 4.5 FEET. THE MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT FOR THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE IS 35 FEET. AND THE PROPERTY IS SURROUNDED BY ZONING DISTRICT RS-50 TO THE NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND WEST WITH SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES. THE AERIAL ON SCREEN SHOWS, IF THERE ARE ANY LOCAL OR NATIONAL A WHICH THERE ARE NOT, AND JENNIFER DID POINT OUT THAT THE INTERSTATE 275 IS TO YOUR WEST, AND ONE BLOCK TO THE EAST, AND THERE'S LAKE AVENUE, AND THEN NORTH NEBRASKA AVENUE. THE SUBJECT PARCEL OUTLINED IN THE RED DASHED LINE. THE SITE PLAN SHOWS THE CUSTOMARY SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED DWELLING ON THE LOT. STAFF DOES SEE THE WAIVERS REQUESTED KIND OF REFLECT DUE TO THE TREE BEING RETAINED HERE TO THE NORTH, AS WELL AS THE ENCROACH. ISSUE FROM THIS PROPERTY THAT WAS TO THE EAST. THAT PROPERTY BEING CONSTRUCTED BACK IN THE 1922 TIME FRAME. SOME SUBJECT SITES PHOTOS, YOU CAN SEE THE POSTING OF THE SIGN. YOU CAN SEE THOSE TREES REFERENCED TO AS WELL. THIS IS LOOKING TO THE EAST. THE PICTURE TO THE RIGHT. CUSTOMARILY SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES, TO THE WEST I-275 OVERPASS, UNDERPASS AS WELL, SOUTH SINGLE-FAMILY. THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF HAS REVIEWED INCONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. URBAN DESIGN RELATED TO THEBACK WAIVERS BEING REQUESTED FROM THE EAST TAMPA OVERLAY. SHOULD IT BE THE PLEASURE OF CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION FURTHER MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN MUST BE COMPLETED BY THE APPLICANT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING AS OUTLINED IN THE REVISION SHEET. STAFF IS AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS IT MAY HAVE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANY QUESTIONS, GENTLEMEN? >>JOHN DINGFELDER: A QUICK QUESTION. MR. MANASSE, I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING ABOUT THE TREE, AND I WILL BE LTENI CLOSELY TO THE APPLICANT, BUT IT WOULD SEEM STRANGE TO ME THAT -- AND THE ENCROACHMENT FROM AN ADJACENT PARCEL CAN HAVE ANY IMPACT ON WHAT YOU ARE DOING ON YOUR OWN PARCEL. SO BUT FOR THE TREE, WOULD THAT STILL BE TRUE? >>RYAN MANASSE: WELL, I WAS REFERRING TO THE SIDE SETBACK REDUCTION, BECAUSE ON THE SITE PLAN THE ADJACENT PARCEL IS GOING UP TO THAT ORIGINALLY PLATTED LOT LINE WHICH IS MAKING THEM DECREASE THIS SIDE YARD SETBACK A LITTLE BIT. I THINK THE APPLICANT MAY BE ABLE TO DISCUSS IT FURTHER. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YOU SEE WHAT I AM SAYING? I MEAN, IF THEY WERE ASKING FOR A REDUCTION IN THEIR OWN SIDE YARD SETBACK FOR THEIR NEW CONSTRUCTION, THEN YES, THEY WOULD NEED A PD OR VARIANCE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT IN TERMS OF MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR HAS A 100 YEAR OLD HOUSE THAT'S TOO CLOSE TO MY PROPERTY LINE, HOW COULD THAT PUSH ME INTO A PD? >>RYAN MANASSE: THEY ARE CREATING A LOT THAT'S -- AS I STT DOESN'T MEET THE CEE CRITERIA FOR THE LEGAL LOT OF RECORD UNDER EAST TAMPA CODE SO THEY ARE CREATING THIS LOT. SO THAT'S WHY -- THE OTHER LOTS TO THE EAST ARE ALL 48.5 AND THIS ONE IS REQUESTING 45 FEET. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY. SO IT'S THE DIMENSION OF THE LOT ITSELF, NOT THE ENCROACHMENT FROM THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR. >>RYAN MANASSE: YES, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE IT FOR THE RECORD TO BRING UP THE ENCROACHMENT BECAUSE WE DO FEEL THAT IT DOES PLAY A PART WITH REVIEWING THIS AS WELL HOW WE ARE PERCEIVED, THE LOT BEING ADJUSTED, THE SIZE FOR THE STRUCTURE. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AT THE END OF THE DAY WHAT'S THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION? >>RYAN MANASSE: INCONSISTENT BASED OFF THE URBAN DESIGN COMMENTS, BECAUSE OF THE TWO WAIVERS, SECTION 27-240 DOES NOT MEET THE CODE. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU. >>RYAN MANASSE: KRESS YES, SIR. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALL RIGHT. ANYONE ELSE? WE'LL GO TO THE APPLICANT. KEVIN ROBLES, 2107 CHESTNUT FOREST DRIVE AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN. RYAN GAVE YOU A PRETTY GOOD OUTLINE OF THIS. LET ME ANSWER A FEW OF COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER'S QUESTIONS THAT HE HAD. THIS PD IS SOLELY TO ALLEVIATE THE ENCROACHMENT BY THE STRUCTURE TO THE EAST. THIS PROPERTY TO THE EAST IS A RENTAL DWELLING WITH AN ABSENTEE E HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH HIM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AND IF YOU WERE TO REQUIRE THAT TO BE MOVED OVER, THERE'S ONLY TWO PATHWAYS TO COMPLETE THAT. THAT IS THROUGH CODE ENFORCEMENT, OR BY TAKING UP A CIVIL MATTER WITH THE OWNER. IT WAS MUCH EASIER TO ADJUST THE LOT LINE AND DO A PD IN ORDER TO CREATE -- IN ORDER TO TAKE THE ENCROACHMENT OUT OF THE LOT. THIS LOT IS THE FINAL URBAN 360 AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNIT. THIS IS THE 95th UNIT. AND THIS PROPERTY HAS A BUYER ON IT, ELIGIBLE BENEFICIARY FOR THIS LOT. COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, YOU ASKED ABOUT THE TREE. I THINK THAT WAS SOME TECHNICALITY ON THE FRONT SETBACK IN ORDER FOR THE TREE. IT HAS TO BE A MINIMUM 18 FEET, WHICH THE TRANSPORTATION AND TRAD US TO MOVE IT BACK TO 18 FEET. I THINK RATHER THAN ADJUSTING IT PRIOR TO THIS HEARING WAS, AND I BELIEVE MR. MANASSE WAS ALLUDING, WE PICK THAT UP BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING AND MAKE THAT ADJUSTMENT. I CAN ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT COUNCIL MAY HAVE. ANY QUESTIONS? YOU DON'T HAVE ANYBODY ON THE SECOND FLOOR, DO WE? >> EVERYBODY LEFT AFTER THE LAS- THERE ARE NO REGISTERED SPEAKERS FOR THIS ITEM. >> MOVE TO CLOSE. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: A QUICK QUESTION. MR. ROBLES, SO I'M LOOKING AT THE STAFF REPORT PAGE 2 AND I AM SURE YOU HAVE SEEN IT. URBAN DESIGN SAYS INCONSISTENT DUE TO THE WAIVERS FOR THE REDUCTION OF THE SIDE YARD TBAC WHICH WE HAVE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE BIT. AND THE INCREASE IN THE BLOCK AVERAGE FOR THE FRONT YARD BUILD-TO LINE. YOU COULDN'T -- SO DID YOU WORK WITH THE URBAN DESIGN TO TRY AND WRESTLE -- THEY USED TO SAY RATTLE ON THIS ISSUE. >> NO, UNDER THE TRANSPORTATION CODE, THAT WOULD HAVE THAT FRONT BLOCK FACE AVERAGE WOULD HAVE HAD TO HAVE BEEN SETBACK BACK AT LEAST 18 FEET TO ACCOMMODATE VEHICULAR PARKING. SO IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER WHAT THE BLOCK FACE AVERAGE WAS. YOU ARE GOING TO GO TO MOVE THAT FRONT FACADE OF THAT HOUSE BACK TO A MINIMUM OF 18 FEET. HOWEVER, THE BLOCK FACE IS LESS THAN 18 FEET. NOT UNUSUAL FINDING IN A 1920s NEIGHBORHOOD PRIOR TO VEHICLES. AND ZONING CODES. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO ULTIMATELY WHERE DOES YOUR HOUSE START? >> AT 18 FEET OFF THE PROPERTY LINE, OR WILL START 18 FEET OFF MODIFICATION BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND THEY ARE SAYING THAT'S TOO FAR BACK? IS THAT WHAT THEY ARE SAYING? >> UNDER THE URBAN DESIGN, THAT WOULD BE TOO FAR BACK. BUT AS SOON AS URBAN DESIGN SAID THAT DOESN'T MEET BLOCK FACE AVERAGE, IT'S TOO FAR BACK, THEY WOULD SAY, OH, BUT TRANSPORTATION NEEDS A MINIMUM OF 18 FEET FOR FRONT GARAGE. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND YOU HAVE NOWHERE ELSE TO PARK. YOU CAN'T PARK ON THE SIDE. >> THAT IS CORRECT. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: HOW ABOUT FRONT PORCH? GOT A FRONT PORCH? >> YES, SIR. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WELL, YOU ARE A GOOD MAN. MOVE TO CLOSE. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: ALL YOU NEED IS A HOUSE TO EXPAND FROM 18 FEET TO 17½ AND YOU MOVE IT HOW YOU WANT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. [ LAUGHTER ] >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION TO CLOSE. >> SECOND. >>ORLANDO GUDES: CAN I GET A MOTION? MOTION TO CLOSE. SECONDED BY MR. DINGFELDER. ROLL CALL VOTE.

IF YOU COULD INDULGE ME FOR 30 SECOND AS WELL, SINCE I INDULGED YOU FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS FROM THE PREVIOUS CASE. [ LAUGHTER ] YOU ARE TOO KIND. I DO WANT TO MAKE ONE COMMENT. YES, WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT WE DID. THIS IS THE FINAL URBAN 360 HOUSE IN EAST TAMPA. NOW THAT WE HAVE GOT THE ZONING STRAIGHTENED OUT. BUT POLITICIANS LIKE THE SPEECH OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND THAT SORT OF THING. YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO BE FACING A CRISIS LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. IF YOU THOUGHT IT WAS BAD NOW, GET READY, GUYS. GET READY. I PROMISE YOU. AND I COME UPON POLITICAL LEADERS LIKE YOURSELVES TO TAKE THE POLITICAL CAPITAL, TAKE THE POLITICAL HEAT AND GO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET HOUSES IN THE FOLKS. IT IS IMPERATIVE. I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING THAT YOU ALL DO IS IMPORTANT. BUT IT REALLY BEGINS WITH HOUSING AND PEOPLE COMMITTED INTO THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS, AND WITHOUT SOME PATHWAY TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING IT IS GOING TO GET TO A CRISIS LEVEL SO QUICKLY, EVERYTHING ELSE YOU GUYS DO IS NOT GOING TO MATTER, I PROMISE YOU. SO I'M DONE. I SAID MY SPEECH. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I APPRECIATE THAT. JUST A LITTLE COURTESY TO EVERYONE. A 2-BY-4 USED TO BE A COUPLE OF BUCKS. >> NOT ANYMORE. >> IT'S 9.37. AND THIS IS WHY I WAS GOINGN, AND REPAIR A LITTLE SIDE ROOF OR WHATEVER WENT UP BY 20%. AND THINGS ARE JUST GOING SKY HIGH. I DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT A SHEET OF PLYWOOD COSTS. >> I KNOW WHAT THEY COST. I BUY THEM EVERY DAY. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: IN BUILDING A HOUSE NOW. >> THANK YOU FOR INDULGING ME TO ALLOW ME TO SAY THAT. I AM PRETTY PASSIONATE ABOUT IT. AND IT WILL BECOME HIGHER AND HIGHER ON YOU ALL'S AGENDA AS YOU MOVE FORWARD, AND I WOULD NOT BE DRAMATIC IN SAYING AT A CERTAIN POINT THIS IS GOING TO SLIP PT EVERYBODY ON THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING ISSUE FOR CITIZENS OF TAMPA, CITIZENS WHEREVER BUT CERTAINLY IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.

THESE ARE CREATURES OF STATUTE ESTABLISHED BACK IN THE EARLY 70s FOR DEVELOPMENTS THAT WOULD HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL EFFECT ON HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE CITIZENS IN MORE THAN ONE PART OF THE COUNTY SO FROM A MIXED USE PROJECT, THESE WERE THE PRIME KIND OF TARGET FOR THESE DEVELOPMENTS OF REGIONAL IMPACT. AND THERE ARE SEVERAL HUNDRED ACTIVE DRIs IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA CURRENTLY. HOWEVER, SINCE 2015, THERE HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN DRI STATUTES BY THE LEGISLATURE, SUCHHAT NOW INSTEAD OF PROVIDING FOR STATE, REGIONAL, AS WELL AS LOCAL REVIEW OF THESE PROJECTS, THE REVIEW FOR THESE OR AMENDED CITY PROJECTS IS NOW WITHIN THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT'S PURVIEW, SO CITY OF TAMPA NOW HAS THE ABILITY TO REVIEW AND APPROVE AMENDMENTS TO DEVELOPMENTS OF REGIONAL IMPACTS, AND THE REZONING BEFORE YOU AS ITEM NUMBER 8 IS PROPOSING TO ADD USES THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY APPROVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL IMPACT PROJECT, AND S ITEM NUMBER 9 WOULD BE TO SIMPLY CONSIDER ADDING THOSE TWO USES TO THE APPROVED DEVELOPMENT THAT IS IN THE DRI. SO ITEM NUMBER 8 WILL BE TAKEN UP FIRST, AND THEN WE'LL CONSIDER ITEM NUMBER 9 IF YOU DECIDE THAT ITEM 8 IS APPROPRIATE AND THE REZONING IS APPROPRIATE.

THE USES PROPOSED UNDER THE PD ARE CONSISTENT WITH THAT COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION, ALSO THE ORIENTATION ON THE BUILDINGS IN KEEPING WITH THE MIXED USE CORRIDOR POLICIES.

THE PowerPoint ON SCREEN OR THE PRESENTATION ON SCREEN RATE NOW DOES SHOW THE 7 PREVIOUS APPROVED WAIVERS FROM REZ 17-01. AND THEN THE NEW WAIVERS ARE DOWN BELOW. THERE IS A STRICKEN WAIVER, AND I WILL EXPLAIN THAT BRIEFLY. OF THE WAS TO REMOVE THE NONHAZARDOUS GRAND TREE BUT BECAUSE THE TREE WAS PREVIOUSLY CUT DOWN, IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WILL GO THROUGH WITH THE REZONING, IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT CODE ENFORCEMENT OR ANOTHER AGENCY WITH THE CITY WOULD HAVE TO HANDLE. SO THAT'S WHY IT BE STRICT FRIEND THIS NEW WAIVER REQUESTED AND THE WAIVER WE ARE LEFT WITH IS SECTION 27-284.4 AND THAT'S TO PAY PAYMENT INTO CITY OF TREE TRUST FUND FOR THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF TREES. THE PETITIONER PROPOSING TO -- THE PROPERTY AT 4110 GEORGE ROAD ALSO KNOWN AS INDEPENDENCE PARK, FILE REZ 17010th 1, TO ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL OPTION FOR MIX OF USES LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY.

PROPOSED USES ARE LIMITED TO SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED RESIDENTIAL, AND RESTAURANT USES AVAILABLE ONLY TO THE AREA ENTIFIED ON THE ASSOCIATED SITE PLAN AS OPTION 2. CONSISTENCY WITH THE PD ZONING IS EVALUATED THROUGH THE INCREMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS PRIOR TO PERMITTING. THE SUBJECT PARCEL CONTAINS 43.21 ACRES, UNDER THE EXISTING ZONING AND DRI APPROVALS IS 825,000 GROSS SQUARE FEET, AND INCLUDES THE EXISTING 125,575 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE BUILDING WHICH IS A MINIMUM ALLOWABLE OFFICE DEVELOPMENT. THE ABILITY TO DEVELOP BEYOND 82N MAXIMUM DEVELOPMENT IS SUBJECT TO AN ADDITIONAL TRANSPORTATION IMPACT AND REVIEW AND REQUIRES THE COUNCIL APPROVAL. THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED 2006-2017 AND THE NEW 2021 ALTERNATIVE USES EXECUTED THROUGH THE EQUIVALENCY MATRIX ARE SUBJECT TO ENSURE THERE ARE NO NET TRIP IMPACTS. THERE ARE NO STAND ALONE CHANGES TO THE DRI AND THE ASSOCIATED DRE' ORDINANCE IF APPROVED WILL ALLOW THE CHANGES PROPOSED IN THE PD REQUEST TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE REZONING. PROPOSED USES ARE SUBJECT TO THE EQUIVALENCY NATURE APPROVED AS PART OF THE INDEPENDENT PARK PROJECT PREVIOUSLY APPROVED IN 2017, 1701, ORDINANCE 20-17 -08 AND THE NEW USES REQUESTED AS PART OF THIS APPROVAL. THIS ALTERNATIVE USE IF DEVELOPED WOULD DRAW DOWN FROM THE OVERALL PROJECT ENTITLEMENTS, SETBACKS MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE HEIGHT OF 150 FEET. THE PD REQUEST PROPOSES TWO OPTIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT, AND IN THE SCREEN KIND OF OUTLINE OPTION 1 AND OPTION 2, I WILL HAVE THE APPLICANT PRESENT MORE ON THAT IN THEIR PRESENTATION. IT IS IN YOUR STAFF REPORT AS WELL AS THE ONE SLIDE. VEHICULAR ACCESS TO THIS SITE IS PROPOSED ON MEMORIAL HIGHWAY. INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY AND GEORGE ROAD. THESE VEHICULAR ACCESS POINTS WERE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED IN 2017. APPROVAL WILL NOT CHANGE UNDER THIS PD REQUEST.

PARKING RUIRE FOR OPTION 2 IS 1,710 SPACES INCLUDING 38 ADA SPACES AND 47 ADA SPACES WILL BE PROVIDED. AND THEN FOR OPTION NUMBER 1 AND TWO I TOOK A SNIPPET FROM THE STAFF REPORT SHOWING THE SETBACKS FROM NORTH MEMORIAL HIGHWAY SOUTHWEST INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY AND EAST WHICH WOULD BE GEORGE ROAD. JENNIFER DID A GREAT JOB OUTLINING THE AREA AND I WILL KIND OF SHOW YOU THAT THE LOCAL OR NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARKS ARE NOT WITHIN 1,000 FEET OF THE PROPERTY. GENERALLY MEMORIAL HIGHWAY, AND JENNIFER DID OUTLINE THAT TO THE NORTH AND YOU SEE THE GOLF COURSE TO THE SOUTH AS WELL AS RECREATIONAL USES OVER HERE SOUTH OF INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY. THIS IS SHOWING YOU OPTION NUMBER 1 PLAN. THIS IS THE SITE PLAN THAT WAS SUBMITTED A LONG WITH THE REZONING FOR FINAL REVIEW IN THE STAFF REPORT. THEN I TOOK A SNIPPET FROM THE 24 PAGE PACKET OF OPTION NUMBER 2 PLAN AS WELL. EXISTING ELEVATIONS OF THE EXISTING BUILDING. OPTION 1. THERE'S SOME MORE ELEVATIONS, OPTION 1 AND 2 BUILDING ELEVATIONS. OPTION 1 AND 2 PARKING STRUCTURE ELEVATIONS. OPTION 2 BUILDING 14. YOU CAN SEE THE PLAN DOWN HERE TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT. AND THIS IS OPTION 2 BUILDING 14 AS WELL. OPTION NUMBER 2 BUILDING 17. AND THEN STAFF WENT OUT AND TOOK SOME PHOTOS, BUT GENERALLY THE AERIAL WOULD GIVE YOU A BETTER IDEA OF THE SURROUNDING AREA AND THE DEVELOPMENT SITE. WITH THAT E DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE APPLICATION AND WE FIND IT QUINT THE CITY OF TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. SHOULD IT BE THE PLEASURE OF CITY COUNIL TO APPROVE THIS APPLICATION FURTHER MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN ARE REQUIRED AS STATED ON THE REVISION SHEET AND ALL MY STAFF IS AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANY QUESTIONS, GENTLEMEN? DO WE HAVE THE APPLICANT? >>DAVID MECHANIK: GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIRMAN. MY NAME IS DAVID MECHANIK. I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT HIGHWOODS REALTY. WITH ME THIS EVENING IS DAN WOODWARD OF HIGHWOOD. RANDY COEN OF COEN AND COMPANY. AND WE ARE HERE TO RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL. RYAN HAS DONE A VERY THOROUGH REPORT. AND I WOULD STATE FOR THE RECORD THAT WE AGREE THAT ALL THE REVISIONS [~AUDIO CUTS OUT~] MY PRESENTATION WILL ADDRESS ITEMS 8 AND 9. I UNDERSTAND YOU WILL VOTE ON THOSE SEPARATELY. TAMPA CHANGES ARE REALLY QUITE SIMPLE. WE ARE ONLY ASKING TO ADD SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENTIAL TO THE PROPERTY, TOWNHOMES, AND ASKING TO ADD A RESTAURANT TO THE PROJECT. THE REST OF THE LONG LIST OF USES ARE ALL ONES THAT WERE APPROVED IN PREVIOUS APPROVALS OF THE PROJECT. AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE RANDY COEN WHO IS GOING TO WALK YOU THROUGH THE SITE PLANS, AND DISCUSS THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED -- AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO NOTE, RYAN'S REFERENCE TO THE REMOVAL OF THE GRAND TREE, THAT WAS AN ERROR ON THE PART OF THE TREE REMOVAL COMPANY. HIGHWOOD WILL ADDRESS ANY MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE NECESSARY AND ENSURE THAT WE ARE FULLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY'S REGULATIONS. WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT OVER TO RANDY. >>THE CLERK: PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. (OATH ADMINISTERED BY CLERK). >>RANDY COEN: I DO. GOOD EVENING. RYAN AND DAVID HAVE BOTH DONE FINE JOBS DESCRIBING THE PROJECT AND YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE ADDED TWO SMALL LAND USES TO THE PROJECT BEING SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED. WE UPDATED OUR TREE EVALUATION AND IMPACT ANALYSIS WHICH WERE REQUIRED BY PERMIT AND ZONING CONDITION. THOSE HAVE BEEN DONE AND THOSE HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED AS FINE. WE DID DO SOME MINOR CHANGES TO SETBACKS TO ACCOMMODATE -- AS WELL AS THE TOWNHOUSE USES, AND I WILL GO THROUGH THE WAIVERS. THERE ARE SEVEN EXISTING WAIVERS. THE CHANGES WE ARE PROPOSING TONIGHT HAVE NOT CHANGED ANY OTHER JUSTIFICATIONS TO THESE WAIVERS. THE FIRST WAIVER IS REDUCING THE NUMBER OF LOADING BERTHS TO ONE FOR EACH BUILDING WHERE A LOADING BERTH IS REQUIRED. THAT'S A STANDARD CONDITION IN THE WESTSHORE AREA. THIS PROJECT IS ADJACENT TO IT. SO IT'S A WAIVER HERE. THAT'S HOW THE BUILDING WOULD BE BUILT THAT EXISTED TODAY. THE SECOND WAIVER IROCALL IS ANOTHER GRAND TREE THAT WAS ACTUALLY REMOVED IN 2017, OR 2018. BUT THERE IS A LEGACY WAIVER AND WAIVERS 3 THROUGH 7, THE REMAINDER OF THE EXISTING APPROVED WAIVERS, ALL RELATE TOTAL ALTERNATIVE SIGN PLAN THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR THE PROJECT.
