FIRST OFF, LET ME SAY WHAT AN HONOR IT IS, COUNCIL CHAIR GUDES AND DISTINGUISHED COUNCILMEMBERS TO BE GIVEN THIS LETTER OF COMMENDATION. WHAT STARTED AS A FUN LOOK BACK AT A TAMPAHAT -- OF YESTERYEAR HAS RAPIDLY BECOME A HISTORY PRESERVATION PROJECT. ONE THING WE ARE CERTAIN IS AS OUR ELDERS ARE LEAVING US, THEY ARE TAKING THESE WONDERFUL STORIES WITH THEM. IT HAS BECOME INCUMBENT UPON ALL OF US, BUT I ESPECIALLY TAKE IT PERSONALLY TO PRESERVE THESE STORIES FOR PROSPERITY THAT CHILDREN BORN NOW HERE IN OUR NEW TIME AND THOSE FINDING US AND COMING HERE REMEMBER OUR ANCESTORS. I HAVE TO GIVE A TIP OF THE P FOE PRODUCTION FROM ITS EARLIEST DAYS. STEVE CANELLO, AGAIN MY WIFE, SALLY, THERE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING AND COUNTLESS NUMBERS OF PRODUCTION STAFF THAT HAVE CONTINUED TO HELP ME WITH THE PROGRAMMING. MY CURRENT PRODUCTION TEAM AT TAMPA BAY ARTS AND EDUCATION NETWORK. SCOTT AND JESSICA STURGES AND THE INTERNS THERE CONTINUE TO PROVE WEEK AFTER WEEK THAT THERE IS NO STORY THAT IS NOT WORTH TELLING. YOU KNOW, AS TAMPA CONTINUES TO KIND OF FIND ITS WAY THIS NEW TIME IDENTITY WISE, WE WERE CIGAR CITY FOR SO MANY YEARS. WE WONDER WHAT WE WILL BE IN THE NEXT 20, 25 YEARS. ARE WE GOING TO BE SIMI VALLEY EAST OR A CENTER FOR TELEVISION AND ARTS AND PRODUCTION. THAT IS EVOLVING NOW, THAT STORY. AND I AM GRATEFUL TO BE PLAYING A SMALL PART OF THAT.

AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL DISCUSS THAT ANOTHER DAY. BUT, YOU KNOW, AS WE -- AS WE ARE DEVELOPING TAMPA AND DEVELOPING OUR BRAND, ONE THING IS IMPORTANT WHAT WE CALL OURSELVES. AND THE VERSION THAT MOST OFTEN USED IS TAMPANIAN AND ANOTHER ONE THAT SOUNDS LIKE A BAD WORD OR A WORD THAT ISN'T NICE. I WOULDN'T USE THAT ONE. AND TAMPANO IS DIFFERENT. IT DIFFERENT REN YATES US. OUR ROOTS ARE LATIN. WE HAD A CHANCE TO BE THE HUB OF LATIN AMERICA AND IT WENT TO MIAMI. AND LATIN AMERICA WANTS AN ALTERNATIVE TO MIAMI AND WE SHOULD BE IT. THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH TAMPA, TAMPAN O DOESN'T JUST MEAN LATINOS OR LATIN, IT COULD MEAN EVERYBODY. A DISCUSSION OF ANOTHER DAY. ALSO YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE FLAG. THAT IS DISCUSSION FOR ANOTHER DAY ALSO. BUT I WANT TOIN PARTICULAR, SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR REALLY HARD EFFORTS TO SAVE FAIRY L LND.

CHAIRMAN, WITH OUT FURTHER ADO, WE ARE PRESENTING A COMMENDATION TO OUR PURCHASING DIRECTOR GREG SPEARMAN AND CITY OF TAMPA PURCHASING DEPARTMENT. AS I TELL YOU GUYS PERIODICALLY AND I TOLD THESE GUYS OFTEN, MY VERY FIRST JOB OUT OF COLLEGE WAS A PURCHASING OFFICER UP IN TALLAHASSEE. I ONLY DID IT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS BEFORE LAW SCHOOL, BUT MADE A SIGNIFICANT MARK ON ME THAT PURCHASING IS THE CORE IN TERMS OF THE INTEGRITY OF PUBLIC PURCHASING IS THE CORE OF GOVERNMENT. IF YOU DON'T HAVE INTEGRITY IN PUBLIC PURCHASING, THEN THE ENTIRE PROCESS FALLS APART AND THE PUBLIC DOESN'T HAVE ANY BELIEF IN THE SYSTEM. SO THESE GUYS ARE FANTASTIC. I KNOW I GIVE THEM A HARD TIME EVERY NOW AND AGAIN AND I ASK THEM A LOT OF QUESTION AND I HOPE THEY DON'T MIND IT. WE ARE GIVING THEM A COMMENDATION AND WE WILL READ IT AS FOLLOWS AND MR. SPEARMAN WILL SPEAK TO US. IN RECOGNITION OF RECEIVING THE NATIONAL PROCUREMENT INSTITUTE EXCELLENCE IN PROCUREMENT AWARD FOR 2021, THIS AWARD SYMBOLIZES ORGANIZATIONAL EXCELLENCE IN INNOVATION PROFESSIONALISM PRODUCTIVITY, E PROCUREMENT AND LEADERSHIP.

[APPLAUSE] >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER AND COUNCIL CHAIR GUDES AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL. AN HONOR AND PLEASURE FOR THIS DEPARTMENT TO SERVE THE CITY OF TAMPA THE WAY WE DO. AS COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER SAID WE DO IT BY INTEGRITY. WE ABIDE BY ALL OF THE BEST PRACTICES. AND BY THE CODE OF ETHICS. WE BELIEVE IN EXCELLENCE, YOU KNOW. WE LOOK AT CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT. BEHIND ME ARE THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT REALLY MAKE THIS HAPPEN EVERY DAY. SO A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO ARE BEHIND THE SCENES. YOU DON'T REALLY SEE IT, LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, MAKING SURE THE RESCUE CARS ARE EQUIPPED WITH THE DRUGS THEY NEED TO TREAT PATIENTS IN THEIR CRITICAL TIME OF NEED. OUTFITTING THE FIRE TRUCKS FOR THE CRITICAL SCUBA GEAR. EVERYTHING THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT NEEDS IN TERMS OF THE VEHICLES, THE CAGES, EVERYTHING THAT IS NEEDED BY THE WARE AND WASTEOUR DEPARTMENT AND THE WASTE ENERGY PLANT. ALL THOSE THINGS THAT REALLY KEEP THE CITY RUNNING AND HUMMING. YOU KNOW THE UNIFORM PROVIDED. YOU SEE THAT THE POLICE OFFICERS WEAR AND THE FIRE FIGHTERS WEAR AND ALL THOSE THINGS. THIS TEAM BEHIND ME REALLY MAKES THAT HAPPEN EVERY SINGLE DAY. SO I ALSO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE SOMEONE WHO IS VERY IMPORTANT TO OUR TEAM WHO IS NOT HERE TODAY MICHELLE BLIZZARD. SHE IS THE ADMINISTRATIVE EXECUTIVE AIDE FOR PURCHASING, AND SHE BASICALLY PUTS TOGETHER THE APPLICATION FOR US. IT IS A DAUNTING TASK. I GOT TO TELL YOU THE CRITERIA KEEPS ELEVATING YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR. IT BECOMES MORE INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO WIN THIS AWARD. BUT WE ARE UP TO THE CHALLENGE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MAINTAIN THE STANDARDS, THE PROFE PROFESSIONALISM, THE EDUCATION THAT IS NECESSARY TO DO THAT. AND I ALSO WANT TO RECOGNIZE MY TWO MANAGERS.

I CANNOT BE HERE TONIGHT ON THE MURLTI FAMILY ISSUE. AND I WANT TO SPEAK VERY BRIEFLY ON THAT. LIKELY TO BE A DECISION TO BAN THE USE OF FLOOR AREA RATIO IN MULTIFAMILY PROJECTS IN SOUTH TAMPA -- SOUTH TAMPA AND THE NEW TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICTS. I PERSONALLY FEEL THIS WILL RESULT IN MORE LIMITED W WORKFORCE AND HOUSING OPTIONS IN SOUTH TAMPA, I FEEL DEVELOPER ALSO BE FORCED TO BUILD LARGER LUXURY UNITS AND CHARGE ACCORDINGLY AND I THINK THIS ISSUE PROBABLY HAS BEEN PUT TO BED -- I WONDER THAT F.A.R. WILL BE AVAIL AFFORDABLE DENSITY IF INCORPORATING MIXED USE. MIXED USE IS NOT AN OPTION IN MANY AREAS OF SOUTH TAMPA. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY, STILL NOT A PEDE PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY CITY IN MOST AREAS. WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID, I HOPE THAT ADDITIONAL INCENTIVE THAN ALLOWING THE USE OF F.A.R. IN AREAS OF STATUS QUO OF THE CENTRAL DISTRICT ARE INCORPORATED 37. THE CENTRAL PART OF THE CITY HAS A LOT OF PROMISE AND REMAINS A MUCH HARDER SALE FOR DEVELOPERS LAND HAVE TO DISCOUNT ACCORDINGLY AND INVESTMENT INCENTIVE IS SOMEWHAT LOWER. I HEARD RUMORS OF PLAN AND CONCEPTS FOR ADDITIONAL INCENTIVES IN THE REMAINING PLANNING DISTRICT WHERE F.A.R. FOR A MULTIFAMILY DENSITY FOR A SOLE USE AND MULTIFAMILY USE, AND I HOPE THE PLAN ALSO COME TO FRUITION AND HOPE THE COUNCIL TO INCORPORATE INCENTIVES FOR THOSE DISTRICTS TO INCIDENT IS VIES DEVELOPMENT AND GIVE US A PLACE TO PUT STARTER AND WORKFORCE HOUSING IN TAMPA IN A WAY THAT -- A PLACE THAT IS CONVENIENT ENOUGH FOR PEOPLE TO GET TO WOR THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR. >> UHURA. MEANS FREEDOM IN SWAHILI. WE AS AFRICAN PEOPLE SHOULD BE THINKING OF OUR FREEDOM. MENTESNOT, CITY OF TAMPA, FLORIDA. I WANT TO SAY TO THE PEOPLE AND OUR CITY COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVES THAT SLAVERY IS WORSE TODAY 2021 THAN IT HAS EVER BEEN IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. PERIOD. ESPECIALLY LIVING HERE IN THE TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED, ECONOMICALLY ADVANCED, SUPPOSEDLY SOCIALLY ADVANCED SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. WE AS AFRICAN PEOPLE HAVE IT REALLY, REALLY, REALLY HARD THROUGH DISIMINORY PRACTICES THAT IMPLEMENTED AGAINST US SPECIFICALLY. I WANT TO SAY THAT RIGHT HERE IN THIS CITY OF TAMPA, FLORIDA, WE ARE 26% OF THE POPULATION. AND WE ARE DESERVING OF 26% OF THE CITY BUDGET. WE ARE DESERVING OF 26% OF THE CITY EMPLOYMENT. AND WE ARE DESERVING OF 26% OF THE CITY'S ECONOMY THAT IS IN PRIVATE INDUSTRY AND IN GOVERNMENT. IF IT IS COUNTY GOVERNMENT, CITY GOVERNMENT, WHEREVER IT IS, WE ARE DESERVING OF THAT. WE WOULD LIKE TO BE REPRESENTED PROPORTIONATELY INSTEAD OF DISPROPORTIONATELY IN AREAS OF HEALTH CARE, CRIME, UNEMPLOYMENT EDUCATION ACCESS TO HOUSING, AND ALL THESE OTHER THINGS. I THINK THAT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, THAT THIS CITY COUNCIL JUST AS PREVIOUS CITY CITY COUNCILS, PREVIOUS MAYORS, PREVIOUS ELECTED OFFICIALS, AND CURRENT ELECTED OFFICIALS HAVE FERED LIP SERVICE TO AFRICAN PEOPLE AND ONLY LIP SERVICE. AND THEY GO ABOUT THEIR DUTIES, AWARDS, OTHER THINGS. IT IS REALLY INSIGNIFICANT. BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE A CONCRETE CHANGE OR PUT YOUR HANDS ON IT AND PUT YOUR HANDS ON SCIENTIFIC AND ANALYTICAL CHANGE. YOU CAN'T SEE IT FOR AFRICAN PEOPLE IT IS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE AND WORSE AND WORSER. WE AS AFRICAN PEOPLE WANT REPARATIONS FROM THIS CITY AND THE BUSINESSES THAT PRACTICE OR DO CONDUCT BUSINESS IN THIS COMMUNITY. WE WOULD ALSO LIKE AN END TO ALL THE BICYCLE STOPS AND LIKE THE OVERTURNING -- WE WOULD LIKE THAT TO BE OVERTURNED FOR ANYBODY WHO HAS BEEN CITED FOR THAT -- FOR THAT TO BE OVE OVERTURNED. WE ARE ALSO LIKE TO SEE A RETURN OF -- WE WOULD LIKE OUR CITY COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVES TO CALL OUR STATE REPRESENTATIVES AND SAY RETURN THOSE STIMULUS CHECKS THAT HAVE BEEN GARNISHED BY THEM FROM THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION. AND ALSO WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT GET OUT OF KICKING PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR HOMES. AFFORDABLE HOUSING ISN'T A HOME IN WILDING AND 30th FOR $449,000. THAT IS CALLED GENTRIFICATION IN ITS WORST FORM AND WE HAVE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO MAKE A CHANGE ABOUT THOSE THINGS. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR. >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL. MY NAME IS NATHAN HAGAN. I KNOW HOUSING TOPICS COMING UP AND KEEP MY SPEECH IN MIND FOR THOSE ITEMS. PIECEMEAL PD DEVELOPMENT IS NOT ENOUGH. I'M HERE TO INTRODUCE MY ONE TO THREE TRIPLEX HOUSING PLAN. WE NEED MORE HOUSING, NEIGHBORS AND DEVELOPERS AND NEED TO ACT NOW TO HAVE MORE HOUSING FOR EVERYBODY IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE NEED TO MAKE IT LEGAL FOR STACKED TRIPLEXES IN THE CITY OF TAMPA CURRENTLY ZONED FOR SINGLE FAMILY, SEMINOLE HEI HEIGHTS, TAMPA HEIGHTS, YBOR, NORTH HYDE PARK, HYDE PARK, PALMA SEE I CAN'T AND SOUTH OF GANDY. HERE IS MY STORY. I AM WHITE AND SOLIDLY MIDDLE CLASS. HISTORICALLY BLACK AND DISENFRANCHISED NEIGHBORHOOD IN TAMPA. I LOVE THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. I KNOW MY PRESENCE IS OF HIGHER HOUSING COST AND MOST INFILL IS SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSING AND ANY GROWTH IS REPLACING SOMEONE ELSE WITH DEEPER CONNECTION TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAN I DO OR NEWER RESIDENTS DO. THE TRUTH IS DESPITE ALL MY PRIVILEGE, I CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE IN ANY COMMUNITIES WITH SIMIR AMENITIES AND ACCESS IN TAMPA. I'M HERE. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? WHAT IS WORSE TWO YEARS INTO LIVING HERE I WILL HAVE TO LEAVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE THE COST OF HOUSING IS RISING REAL QUICKLY. BUYING THERE IS BEYOND MY MEANS. ALL AROUND ME NEW LUXURY VILLAS SUBSIDIZED BY OUR LAND USE CODE WHICH IS ILLEGAL TO BUILD ANYTHING THAT IS MORE AFFORDABLE TO REGULAR PEOPLE. I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE, BUT THE CITY LAND USE CODE DOES NOT ALLOW REGULAR PEOPLE TO LIVE THERE. WHEN RENT GOESP, WHERE WILL I GO AND WHO WILL I DISPLACE. IS MY BEST OPTION TO LEAVE AND WILL I BE DISPLACED. HOW COULD EVERYONE WITHOUT MY GOOD FORTUNE FEEL? YOU MUST KNOW. THE ONLY THING SHOW UP TO TELL THAT YOU THINGS NEED TO CHANGE AND WE ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH TO MAKE TAMPA A WELCOMING CITY. WE NEED MORE HOUSING NOW. WE NEED TO MAKE IT LEGAL FOR STACKED TRIPLEXES ON EVERY LOT THAT WE ARE BUILDING SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ON TODAY. WE COULD DO SO MUCH MORE AND WOULD BE A START. IF WE DON'T HOUSING SCAITY AND POWER OF WEALTH WHERE TAMPA WILL BE A DIVERSE PLACE FOR EVERYONE THAT COMES HERE WILL ENJOY ALL THAT MAKES TAMPA GREAT. I HOPE YOU AND OTHERS LISTEN ALSO SAY YES IN MY BACK YARD FOR ABUNDANT EQUITABLE HOUSING IN OUR COMMUNITY NOW. THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU. >> OKAY, HELLO. I AM SOVEREIGN DEXPA HOLDER OF THE COURSE KING JOHNNY BERNARD BOOTH. I'M HERE TO PRESENT DOCUMENTATION FOR THE GLOBAL I. D. PASSPORT TRAVELERS CARD PAID IN FULL CARD. THESE RIGHT HERE ARE GOING TO BE SOMETHING TEMPORARY UNTIL WE GET THE NEW LAWFUL CURRENCY UP AND RUNNING. I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU A MASTER SPREAD OF MINDS. OUT I AM ALSO GOING TO CONTINUE TO SPREAD THE NEWS ON THIS RIGHT HERE BECAUSE THIS IS STILL IMPORTANT. OKAY. OUR AFRICANS AMONG US. I DECREE AND EXPLAIN TO YOU, LOOK, NO ONE IN COMMUNITY WENT TO -- WE ARE OFFERING AN OLIVE BRANCH TO YOU. WE LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU ARE IN OUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE LIKE MANY CULTURES, MANY INFLUENCERS. LOOK, HOW DOES THIS SOUND? WE WILL COME UP WITH AN AFRICAN DISTRICT IN THREE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. WE HAVE SEEN THE ENCORE AREA IN AFRICAN HISTORY, BUT I WANT SOME OF YOU IN DIFFERENT LIVING LIKE MANSIONS ALSO. AND WE ALSO WANT TO YOU BE IN DIFFERENT AREAS ALSO SO THAT YOU CAN WORK WITH OUR COMMUNITY MORE AND MORE. AND I HEARD WHAT THE MAN SAID OF REPARATIONS. 26%. NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. WE CAN SWING THAT. MINGLE WITH EVERYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY, PRACTICING AGAINST EACH OTHER'S SKIN TONE. THAT IS NOT GOOD AT ALL AND WILL NEVER REALLY GET TO KNOW THE COMMUNITY THAT YOU ARE IN. WE LOVE EVERY ONCE. AND INCLUDING -- >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU FOR COMING. >> THAT WAS THE FINAL PUBLIC SPEAKER. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR. ANY REGISTERED PUBLIC SPEAKER AS SOON AS. >>CLERK: GOOD MORNING, CHAIR. THE FIRST SPEAKER IS STEPHANIE POYNOR. STEPHANIE, IF YOU WERE ON THE LINE. UNMUTE YOURSELF AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK. >> GOOD MORNING, GENTLEMEN. I AM HAPPY TO BE SPEKING TO YOU -- CAN YOU HEAR ME? >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE CAN HEAR YOU. >> HAPPY TO BE SPEAK TOWING TODAY ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS MY J-O-B. I KNOW YOU DON'T THINK I HAVE ONE BUT I DO. A PROPERTY MAN JEER I SUPPORT THE TENANTS BILL OF RIGHTS. SOME MAY FEEL DIFFERENTLY. I DON'T SEE TENANTS AS A MONEYMAKING VENTURE OF A NEED OF A HOME TO LIVE IN. HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY'S PROGRAM HAS PROPER GUIDELINES. I FEEL THE CITY SHOULD FOLLOW SUIT. WHY REINVENT THE WHEEL. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU COLLABORATE WITH THE COUNTY TO USE THE SAME FORM. WHY DO I ASK THIS? SINCE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY HAS STATED THE TENANTS RIGHTS, MY BROKERAGE WHICH HAS A HANDFUL OF PROPERTY MANAGERS, THE ADMIN ASKED ME FOR THE FORM FOR CITY PROPERTIES WHICH I HAD AND SUBMITTEDUT I ALSO HAD TO TAKE THE TIME TO EDUCATE THAT NOT ALL PROPERTY MANAGERS WITHIN THE CITY AND PROPERTIES WANT CITY ARE GOING TO HAVE THAT FORM. MANYS REDENTSD OF THE CITY AND COUNTY DON'T REALLY REALIZE THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO. IT JUST MAKES SENSE FOR THE CITY AND COUNTY TO USE THE SAME FORM AND COLLABORATE. ALSO TAKE A MINUTE TO ADDRESS RENTAL REGISTRATION SYSTEM ON THE 10/28 AGENDA. AS A BUDGET COMMITTEE MEMBER, I FIND THIS PROGRAM OFFENSIVE AS IT WASTES TIMEND ERGY FROM STAFF NOT TO MENTIONED 125 BUCKS A POP FOR THEM TO BE REGISTERED. IF YOU WANT TO FIND A LANDLORD, CHECK THE TAX ASSESSOR'S OF OFFICE. IF YOU WANT TO FIND THE TENANT, U PUSPS OR KNOCK ON THE DOOR. IF YOU HAVE A TENANT BILL OF RIGHTS DOCUMENT, EVERY CITY WILL ABLE TO PRODUCE THE DOCUMENTS FOR THE CURRENT TENANT. PUTS THE BURDEN OF RECORDKEEPING ON THE LANDLORD NOT THE CITY STAFF OR THE CITY AT $125 BUCKS A POP. I HAVE 44 UNITS IN MY SMALL LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD. 14 OF THEM ARE RENTED. REMEMBER I LIVE NECK TO Ma MacDILL. EIGHT OF THEM ARE CURRENTLY NOT REGISTERED. THREE OF THOSE ARE -- ARE RUN BY LARGE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES WITHIN THE CITY. 57% OF MY OWN LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD IS NOT REGISTERED. DOES THAT MAKE THEM BAD LANDLORDS? I DON'T THINK SO. IT JUST MEANS THAT THEY LIKELY DON'T KNOW THAT THE PROGRAM EXISTS. GET RID OF THE RENTAL REGISTRATION. ALIGN THE TENANTS BILL OF RIGHTS WITH HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY. AND PLEASE TONIGHT PUT NUMBER 14 BEFORE NUMBER 12, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE PAST MIDNIGHT. AND ALL OF THE BUILDINGS IN SOUTH TAMPA THAT HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH OR WITHOUT THE CAR IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, NOT ONE UNIT OF THE 477 HAVE BEEN AFFORDABLE. LET'S NOT KID OURSELVES. HAVE A GOOD DAY, GENTLEMEN. SEE YOU TONIGHT. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WAY WAS THE NUMBER SHE WAS SPEAKING ON. >>ORLANDO GUDES: 14 VERSUS 12. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I THINK THAT WAS TONIGHT. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MENTIONED RENTAL CERTIFICATE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THE RENTAL REGISTRATION.

WE ARE AWARE OF THE GENTLEMAN THAT IS GOING TO SPEAK IN HOP SIGNIFICANCES OF OUR REZONING PETITION TODAY THE PROPERTY NER HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THEM.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPL APPLICANT? ALL RIGHT, WE WILL GO TO THE SECOND FLOOR FOR THE OPPO OPPOSITION. YOU ARE FREE TO ATE UR NAME AND SPEAK. >> NICK CLARK, 106 WEST ADDELY STREET ARE, THE PROPERTY ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY PROPOSED TO BE REZONEI'M HERE TO STATE MY OPPOSITION TO THE REZONING. I AM NOT OPPOSED TO BUILDING ON THE PROPERTY AS A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME, JUST OPPOSED TO THE SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED FOR TOWN HOMES, THREE STORIES EACH WITH A ROOF TOP TERRACE THAT WOULD LOOK INTO ABOUT TEN PROPERTIES, PRIVATE SINGLE FAMILY HOME BACKYARDS. JUST CONCERNED ABOUT THE PRIVACY ISSUES. WHEN WE MOVED INTO THAT HOUSE AND THE PROPERTY NEXT DOOR, YOU KNOW, WE -- WE LOOKED TO HAVE PRIVACY AND WE THINK THAT HAVING PEOPLE ON A ROOFTOP TERRACE OVERLOOKING OUR PROPERTY AND PARKING ON A ALREADY CONGESTED 106 WEST ADDELY STREET WILL COMPLICATE THINGS FOR THE NEIGHBORS IN THE SURROUNDING AREA. WHEN WE BUY A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME, WE EXPECT SINGLE-FAMILIES TO BE IN THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES AND I WARRANTED TO STATE MY OPPOSITION TO THAT. I HAVE TWO OF MY NEIGHBORS HERE TO SPEAK ON THE MATTER ALSO. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR. >> I THINK I NEED TO BE SWORN IN. >>CLERK: PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT THE TESTIMONY YOU ARE ABOUT TO IS THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. >> I DO. MY NAME IS MICHAEL DELANO. THE RESIDENT 3012 NORTH TAMPA STREET. LIVED THERE SIX YEARS AND LIVED I AVELED EXTENSIVELY IN SALES AND BEFORE THAT HOMELAND SECURITY AND BEFORE THAT U.S. NAVY AND ALAVRMD WHAT I AM SEEING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS A LACK OF CONTINUITY COMPARED TO MOST CITIES I SEE AND IN LACK OF THE CONSIDERATION OF THE PARKING AND SAFETY ISSUE THAT ARISE WITH THE PUSH FOR MULTIFAMILY. YOU DRIVE ALONG HIGHLAND AVENUE AND THE ONE-WAY STREETS FROM SEMINOLE HEIGHTS, 1.75-MILE STRETCH WE LIVE ON ALL THE WAY TO FLORIBRASKA. ALONG THAT I DON'T KNOW ANY DUPLEX FOR TRIPLEX OR A QUAD FLEX AS A PROPOSED DESN. VERY ALARMED BY THAT AS WELL AS THE HEIGHT. I DON'T THINK ANY BUILDING ALONG THAT STREET THAT IS OVER TWO STORY INSPECTION WOULD HAVE A FOUR-STORY TERRACE. IN ADDITION TO THAT ALMOST EVERY HOME FACES INWARD TO TAPA. THIS DOES NOT. MOST EVERY HOME HAVE DRIVEWAYS THEY CAN PARK IN. THIS AS FAR AS I CAN TELL DON'T HAVE TOUGH PARKING. CONCERNED OF THAT SAFETYWISE. AND ALMOST EVERY OTHER HOME HAVE CANOPIES AND TREES. THIS DOES NOT AS WELL. WE HAVE PRIVACY AND SECURITY THAT NICK TOUCHED ON. AN EXAMPLE USING NORTHBOUND FROM MIRE YARD BEFORE AND PROPOSED AFTER. WITH PEOPLE BEING ABLE TO LOOK DOWN. WE HAVE ABOUT TEN HOMES IN THE VICINITY. WE HAVE ABOUT TEN HOMES IN THE VICINITY -- I ONLY HAVE THREE MINUTES -- THAT WILL BE AFFECTED THINK ABOUT AND ONLY TAKES A SCATTERING OF THIS THROUGHOUT THE HEIGHTS TO OPEN UP EVERYBODY HE IS BACK YARD. I HAVE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE CITY, TINDEL OLIVER AND THE MOBILITY STUDY AND FDOT AS WE ARE TRYING TO IMPROVE TAMA AND FLORIDA STREET FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS. I HAVE AN E-MAILROM TINDEL OLIVER THAT THE DESIGN THEY ARE LEANING TOWARD IS TO REDUCE THE TRAFFIC FLOW FROM TWO LANES TO -- FROM THREE LANES TO TWO LANES FOR MORE SEPARATION OF VEHICLES. THEIR PROPOSED DRIVE LANE FOR IN QUADLEX WAS ORIGINALLY ON TAMPA STREET AND GOT REJECTED. THEIR SOLUTION TO PUT THIS ON ADDELY STREET WHICH IS POORLY MAINTAINED STREET THAT PEOPLE PARK ON BOTH SIDES OF. WE HAVE SAFETY CONCERNS OF THE ELDERLY AND EMERGENCY VEHICLES AREOT AE TO GET BACK THERE. THERE ARE TALKS OF JUST NOT ENOUGH PARKING AND ADDING THIS WHERE PEOPLE WILL BE PARKING ON A STREET THAT IS POORLY MAINTAINED WOULD BE AN ISSUE AS WELL. I WENT OUT THERE AND MEASURED I. LESS THAN 24 FEET CURB TO CURB ON THE INSIDE. PROPOSED DRIVE LANE ON THE DRAWING IS 24 FEET WIDE. IN A SENSE IT IS DUMPING THE TRAFFIC ON A SLIGHTLY SMALLER STREET THAT I SAID IS POORLY MAINTAINED AND DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH PARKING AS WHOLE. JUST KIND OF AS A SUMMARY, I WILL BE HAPPY TO LEAVE THIS MATERIAL BEHIND, BUT WE ARE CONCERNED WHERE IT IS HEADED ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS A HURRICANE OROMETNG LE THT. WE ARE SHORT ON PARKING AND SHORT ON TRAFFIC. EVEN FDOT WHO IS TRYING TO PUSH THE CORRIDOR IS TRYING TO ADD A 12-FOOT BIKE LANE AND PEDESTRIAN LANE AND REDUCE THE TRAFFIC THROUGH THERE. SO WITH THAT, WE ARE VERY OPPOSED TO IT AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. QUESTION FOR THE GENTLEMAN. AND THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN THIS MORNING, TAKING OUT OF YOUR BUSY SCHEDULE. THE PHOTOGRAPH THAT YOU HELD UP OR THE DRAWING THAT YOU HELD UP I AM LOOKING AT A SIMILAR A SIMILAR DRAWING ON THE COM COMPUTER. MY UNDERSTANDING -- CAN YOU HOLD THAT BACK UP AGAIN. >> THIS ONE? >>JOHN DINGFELDER: RIGHT. MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE LITTLE PERSON ON THE SIDE IS WALKING ON WHAT WOULD BE TAMPA STREET. AND WHEN YOU -- SO -- AND -- BECAUSE -- BECAUSE OF WHAT I THOUGHT YOU SAID QUICKLY THAT ALL THOSE REAR GARAGES WERE GOING TO BE ON TAMPA STREET. YOU ARE COMING IN OFF OF TAMPA STREET. YOU ARE TURNING. AND THEN -- THEN YOU LOAD INTO THOSE GARAGES. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE ON THAT. >> SIR, WOULD YOU TURN -- CORRECT, ON TO ADDELY STREET. THIS STREET THAT IS ALREADY A BRICK STREET THAT IS ASPHALTED OVER IN POOR SHAPE. DRIVE DOWN THERE AND A POSED DRIVE LANE INTO THE SIDE THAT WILL WRAP AROUND INTO THOSE GARAGES. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THE REAR GARAGES WERE NOT FACING TAMPA STREET BECAUSE CLEARLY THAT WOULD BEESTHICALLY PRETTY HORRIFIC. THE FIRST GENTLEMAN WHO SPOKE THIS MORNING SOUNDED TO ME LIKE ONE OF, YOU BIGGEST CONCERNS WAS THE ROOFTOP AMENITY, YOU KNOW, LOOKING DOWN INTO YOUR BACKYARDS. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT EVEN CAME UP DURING THE INITIAL HEARING. I DON'T THINK I WAS NECESSARILY AWARE THAT THERE WERE GOING TO BE ROOFTOPS, I DON'T THINK -- I DON'T THINK THAT THESE TOWN HOMES ARE -- ARE OVER 35 FEET. AND WE WILL HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK WITH STAFF ON TT, B EVEN -- EVEN NEW SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ARE ALLOWED TO BE 35 FEET TALL. IN THE CODE. WE WILL HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK WITH STAFF TO SEE IF THE TOWN HOMES ARE AT THE 35 FEET. BUT THEN IF YOU ARE TALKING 35 FEET PLUS PEOPLE STANDING ON THE ROOF, YOU HAVE AN ADDITIONAL ISSUE. SO WE WILL ADDRESS THAT WITH STAFF AND THE APPLICANT IN A MINUTE. THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN, GENTLEMEN. >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE GENTLEMAN WHO JUST SPOKE. U SA WOU YOU LEAVE THOSE BEHIND. WHEN YOU SAID THAT, IS THAT YOUR INTENTION THAT YOU WANT THAT INTO THE RECORD? >> LEAVE WHAT -- >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOUR DOCUMENTS. YOU MADE REFERENCE OF LEAVING THEM BEHIND. THE QUESTION IS, IS IT YOUR INTENTION TO HAVE THEM PART OF THE RECORD? >> I WILL BE HAPPY TO. >>MARTIN SHELBY: I AM ASKING WHAT YOUR INTENTION. >> IF THEY CAN BE VIEWED PRIOR TO THE DECISION AND BE PART OF THE DECISION, YES, I WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE IT BEHIND. IF NOT, NO. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY, WE HAVE VIEWED THEM ON THE TELEVISION SCREEN. I WOULD RECOMMEND LEAVI THEM AS PART OF THE RECORD. >> I WILL DO. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WE HAND THOSE TO THE STAFF PERSON WHO IS THERE? >>MARTIN SHELBY: YES. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR. >> THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: GOOD MORNING. STATE YOUR NAME FOR US PLEASE. >> YES, MY NAME IS VIVIAN -- >>ORLANDO GUDES: I NEED FOR YOU TO BE SWORN IN. >>CLERK: DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT THE TESTIMONY YOU ARE ABOUT TO GIVE WILL BE THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH? >> YES. >>ORLANDO GUDES: STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUAN BIN. >> MY NAME IS VIVIAN BANKS WHITE. I LIVE AT 109 WEST ALFRED STREET. I HAVE MY PROPERTY ACTUALLY EXTENDS OUT OVER TEN FEET. AND RUNS BEHIND WHERE THE -- WHERE THEY ARE WANTING TO BUILD THERE OKAY. SO I DID SPEAK I WAS SHOCKED ACTUALLY -- I LEFT A LETTER. I WAS TOLD YOU FOLKS WOULD GET IT. PUT IN YOUR QUASI BOX OPPOSING THIS. SO YOU CAN IMAGINE MY SHOCK WHENEVER I SEEN WHEN I DID VIEW THIS LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING REGARDING THIS PROPERTY, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT I OPPOSED THIS. AND WHENEVER JOE CAME AND SPOKE WITH ME, HE KNEW I WAS OPPOSED AND HE STOOD UP THERE SAYING SHE IS ALL FOR THIS. NO OKAY. SO I'M HERE TODAY TO STATE THAT. MY ISSUE IS AGAIN IS THE GETTING AMBULANCES IN AND OUT, THE TRAFFIC. I HAVE LIVED HERE FOR -- FOR 20 YEARS. AND HAVE WORKED, OKAY TO AGAIN THE DRUGS AND THINGS AND ALL OF THAT WORKING WITH PD TO GET ALL OF THIS REMOVED, OKAY. THE HOUSE REMOVED. ANYWAY, I'M HERE TO OPPOSE IT. OKAY. IT IS OUR QUALITY OF LIFE. I HAVE BEEN HERE 20 YEARS. I WANT TO RETIRE -- I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE MY HOME. I WANT MY PRIVACY, OKAY. WE ALL WANT TO COME HOME AT THE END OF THE DAY AND ENJOY OUR YARDS, OUR NEIGHBORS. BUT THE THING IS, IF THIS GOES -- I AM LEAVING. I AM LEAVING. I HAVE BEEN HERE 20 YEARS AND I HAVE FOUGHT FOR MY NEIGH NEIGHBOROD AY. I HAVE FOUGHT IT. I HAVE FOUGHT TO MAKE IT A BETTER NEIGHBORHOOD. AND IT IS. AND WE ARE STILL LEARNING AND GROWING AND IMPROVING. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME, I AM SURE YOU HAVE A COPY OF THE LETTER, BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS -- THAT YOU HAD IT. SO, AGAIN, LIKE I SAID, I WAS SHOCKED WHENEVER I HEARD HIM SAY WHAT HE SAID THAT I WAS -- OH, YEAH, I WAS ALL FOR IT. THAT IS NOT TRUE. AND THEN HE ALSO APOLOGIZED FOR HAING DOWN -- HACKING UP MY TREES ON MY PROPERTY, OKAY. ALL RIGHT, HE SAID THE CITY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT. YOU KNOW. AND I -- I ACCEPT HIS APOLOGY. AND I JUST WANT TO SEE A SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE HERE. OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR EFFORTS AND YOUR UNDERSTANDING. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, MA'AM. THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I HAVE A QUESTION. MA'AM. >>ORLANDO GUDES: YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OUR ATTORNEYS ALWAYS TELL US THAT, OF COURSE, EVERYBODY CAN COME DOWN HERE AND TALK TO US. BUT OUR ATTORNEYS TELL US THAT IT ISMPORNT TO TESTIFY AND PROVIDE US EVIDENCE WITH SPECIFICS ON -- ON WHAT YOU OBJECT TO IT. AND I HEARD YOU RUN THROUGH A COUPLE OF THINGS, BUT BASICALLY SAID YOU DON'T WANT IT. YOU DON'T LIKE IT. BUT I THINK IF YOU COULD HONE IN ON WHATEVER ONE, TWO, THREE THINGS CRITICAL FOR YOU AND I WANTED CLARIFICATION. YOU SAID ABOUT THE TRAFFIC, BUT DIDN'T YOU SAY YOUR PROPERTY IS TO THE REAR OF THIS? >> RIGHT. AND THERE IS ALSO AN ALLEYWAY THAT RUNS THROUGH IN BETWEEN THE HOUSES, OKAY. AND SO WE HAVE THE CONSTRAINT TRAFFIC. BECAUSE PEOPLE ALREADY USE IT -- CONSTANT TRAFFIC. PEOPLE ALREADY USE IT AND PEOPLE COME THROUGH THERE. WE ARE TRYING TO GET AMBULANCES -- A LITTLE OVER MONTH AND A HALF -- MONTH AND A HALF, MONTH AGO ON TWO OCCASIONS. AMBULANCES WERE CALLED, AND SO WITH PEOPLE PARKING ON THE STREET, EVEN THOUGH ON MY STREET IT SAYS "NO PARKING" PEOP. YOU DON'T PARK ON -- ON -- THE STREETS ARE SO NARROW YOU CAN'T GET ANY VEHICLES THROUGH IF YOU PARK ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET. OKAY. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WHAT OTHER ISSUE? WHAT OTHER ISSUE, I AM SORRY. >> OKAY, THE PRY HAVE SEE, O OKAY. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WITH REGARD TO THE ROOFTOP? >> IN REGARD TO THE ROOFTOP, OKAY AND JUST -- AND JUST THE MULTI-- AGAIN, BEING -- BEING MULTIFAMILY OKAY. YOU KNOW, AGAIN, IT'S -- IT'S WHERE THEY -- PEOPLE -- YOU KNOW -- IF YOU BUILD SOMETHING THERE, IT'S -- YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC. AND ANYBODY CAN PARK ON ADDELY, OKAY. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MA'AM. APPRECIATE IT. THANKS FOR COMING DOWN. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYBODY ELSE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM ON THE SECOND FLOOR? ANYBODY REGISTERED TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION. >>CLERK: THE ONE REGISTERED SPEAKER IS IN PERSON. >>ORLANDO GUDES: LET'S GO BACK TO REBUTTAL FROM THE APPLICANT. >> THANK YOU. SO FIRST OF ALL, WE WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY COUPLE OF THINGS ON THE -- FROM THE SITE PLAN PERSPECTIVE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY IS AWARE THAT EVERY TOWN HOME IS GOING TO PROVIDE TWO-CAR GARAGE AND THE PROPERTY WILL PROVIDE A VISITOR PKING SPACE. WE ARE MEETING THE CODE. SO THE STATEMENT THAT INDICATES THAT WE ARE GOING PROMOTE PARKING ON THE STREET IS INCORRECT. AND JOE, DO YOU WANT TO ALSO CLARIFY YOUR INTERACTION WITH THE LADY AND ALSO WITH THE SITUATION WITH THE -- WITH THE ALLEYWAY PLEASE. >> YES, IF I MAY. I DID SPEAK WITH THE NEIGHBOR VIVIAN WHITE PROBABLY ABOUT 30 DAYS AGO. >>ORLANDO GUDES: HOLD ON A SECOND. MR. SHELBY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE SPEAKER, IF EX-IDENTIFY HIMSELF BY NAME. >>ORLANDO GUDES: YOUR NAME, SIR. >> JOSEPH BONADONO WITH BRICK AND MORTAR CONSTRUCTION. I AM OWNER OF THE PROPERTY AND THE APPLICANT. IT DOES SAY BROJILO'S NAME BUT THAT IS A LITTLE GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM. I DID SPEAK WITH MISS VIVIAN WHITE WHO JUST SPOKE. AND I AM SURE YOU CAN CHECK THE RECORD FROM THE FIRST HEARING. I MADE NO REFERENCE TO HER PPOR OR OPPOSITION TO THE PROJECT. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT HAS COME FROM. I DID SPEAK WITH HER IN PERSON. I STOPPED BY HER HOUSE JUST TO REACH OUT. AND LET HER KNOW THAT THE 9 9.46-STRIP OF LAND WOULD NOT BE ENCROACHED ON AND WE WOULD BE RESPECTFUL NEIGHBORS. SHE JUST SEEMED OPPOSE TO THE DEVELOPMENT IN GENERAL. AND DIDN'T REALLY SEEM LIKE SHE WANTED TO TALK VERY MUCH TO ME. BUT I ALSO SPOKE WITH MR. NICK CLARK ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS VIA E-MAIL REGARDING OUR PROPOSAL. AND I HAD HIS SUPPORT UP UNTIL JUST LAST WEEK WHEN MR. DELANO VOICED HIS CONCERNS, WHO WAS THE OTHER REGISTERED SPEAKER. WHEN MR. DELANO VOICED HIS CONCERNS, I BELIEVE HE DISCUSSED IT WITH MR. CLARK, AND BROUGHT MR. CLARK INTO OPPOSITION AFTER I HAD HIS SUPPORT. WHICH IS FINE. I UNDERSTAND THAT EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OPINION. AND I BELIEVE FROM THE ROOFTOP PRIVACY CONCERNS. IF YOU DO LOOK AT THE PLANS, THE ROOFTOP TERRACE IS MEANT TO BE A SITTING AREA THAT IS CONTAINED IN THE MIDDLE OF ROOFTOP TERRACES. NOT INTENDED TO CONGREGATE ALONG THE WALLS TO BE PEERING IN OTHER PEOPLE'S YARDS, BUT WE WILL BE WILLING TO ACCOMMODATE, YOU KNOW, A BARRIER OR BLOCKADE ON THE EAST AND WEST SIDE AS A BARRIER TO NOT PEER INTO MR. CLARK'S YARD AND ON THE SOUTH SIDE, WE WOULD BE WILLING TO -- TO ALSO CREATE A BARRIER INSIDE THE SOUTH SIDE WALL TO AVOID PEOPLE PEERIN IN -- INTO THEIR YARDS WHERE WE COULD MAKE IT -- WHERE THEY COULDN'T CONGREGATE ALONG THE EDGE OF THE WALL AND ONLY BE ABLE TO SEE DOWNTOWN AND FURTHER OUT. WE WOULD BE WILLING TO DO THAT TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEIGHBORS' CONCERNS OF PRIVACY. I RESPECT THEIR PRIVACY. AND, YOU KNOW, I AM WILLING TO OFFER THAT AS AN OPTION IF NEED BE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE APPLICANT? MR. DINGFELDER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES, SIR. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. THE -- YEAH, THE -- YOU KNOW, I -- I CAN SEE A LITTLE BIT WHERE THEY ARE COMING FROM, IF THEY HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT PRIVACY AND LOOKING INTO THEIR BACKYARDS AND THAT SORT OF THING. AND ESPECIALLY EXACERBATED, PERHAPS, BY THE ROOFTOP ISSUE. I THINK OUR RULES ARE SUCH THAT IF YOU -- IF YOU WERE GOING TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES, AND I THINK THOSE ARE GOOD CHANGES. IF YOU WILL MAKE THOSE CHANGES WE PROBABLY NEED TO GO BACK -- MR. HUSSEIN CAN ELABORATE FURTHER, BUT WE PROBABLY NEED TO GO BACK. HAVE YOU MAKE THOSE CHANGES AND COME BACK FOR A -- FOR A FUTURE SECOND READING. MR. SHELBY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. DINGFELDER, YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT YOU WANTED TO INQUIRE OF STAFF GENERALLY WITH REGARD TO THE ROOFTOP. I ASK THAT DO YOU THAT AND TALK WITH MR. HUSSEIN BEFORE CLOSING COMMENTS AND REBUTTAL BY THE PETITIONER. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: NO I THINK THE APPLICANT ADDRESSED MY ISSUE ABOUT THE ROOFTOP. I THINK THAT IS GOOD. A GOOD CHANGE THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD WANTS. WELL, THEY PROBABLY DON'T WANT ANY ROOFTOP, BUT AS LONG AS WE CAN PULL THE ROOFTOP OVERLOOKS SO THEY LOOK LONG DISTANCE AND DON'T LOOK STRAIGHT DOWN, I THINK THAT IS A GOOD IMPROVEMENT AND I WILL BE WILLING TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE APPLICATION WITH THOSE CHANGES. BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO -- ZANE, WE WOULD NEED TO COME BACK FOR SECOND SECOND READING, CORRECT? >> CORRECT, SIR, SECOND READING. SORRY, CAN YOU REPEAT THAT SIR? I DIDN'T HEAR THAT CLEARLY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: WITH REGARD TO THE ROOFTOP ISSUE. DID YOU HEAR MR. DINGFELDER AND THE APPLICANT'S CONCERN, MR. HUSSEIN? >> YES, SIR ON THE SITE PLAN PROPOSED AT 40 FEET. THIS WAS THE SAME SITE PLAN, SAME ELEVATION AS PER THE FIRST SITE PLAN PROVIDED. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I STAND CORRECTED. 40 FEET. NOT 35 FEET. >> I HAVE A REMARK THAT, IF I MAY. THE ONLY PART OF THE ELEVATION AT 40 FEET IS THE TOP OF THE STAIRS THAT ACCESS THE ROOFTOP TERRACE. THE HEIGHT OF THE WALLS THERE, I BELIEVE, IS RIGHT AROUND 30 FEET. THE ONLY JUT OUT IS CURRENTLY THE STAIRCASE -- THE STAIRWELL, THE ROOFTOP OF THE STAIRWELL 40 FEET WHICH IS VERY SMALL FEATURE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOF DECK, JUST TO CLARIFY. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: APPRECIATE THE CLARIFICATION. IF THE GENTLEMAN IS AMENDABLE TO THOSE CHANGES, I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE THIS FOR -- FOR HOWEVER MANY WEEKS, MAYBE ADDITIONAL TWO WEEKS TO BRING IT BACK FOR SECOND READING WITH THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MAY I INQUIRE -- >>ORLANDO GUDES: YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MISS WELLS, IS IT INAPPROPRIATE FOR CONTINUATION OF A SECOND READ. DOES IT HAVE TO GO BACK -- LOGISTICALLY HOW DOES THIS COME BACK -- A CHANGE FROM THE ORIGINAL SITE PLAN? >>CATE WELLS: CATE WELLS FOR THE RECORDS. CAN YOU HEAR ME SNOO? >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE CAN HEAR YOU. >> YES, WILL WOULD HAVE TO BE CONTINUED. SECOND READ ALSO HAVE TO CONTINUED TO ALLOW STAFF SUFFICIENT TIME TO WORK WITH THE APPLICANT TO HAVE THE REVISED CONDITIONS IN THE SITED PLAN. ASK FOR CLARITY OF THE RECORD AND THE STAFF UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONDITIONS TO BE ADDED TO THE SITE PLAN. >> EXCUSE ME, I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY -- >>ORLANDO GUDES: HOLD ON A SECOND SIR. MR. DINGFELDER? >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I GUESS, CATE WAS ASKING IF ZANE UNDERSTANDS WHAT THE CHANGES ARE. >> CORRECT. AND THANK YOU, SIR. CORRECT, WE CAN HAVE THEM PUT CONDITIONS ON THE SITE PLAN TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE CHANGES. >>CATE WELLS: I AM CONCERNED -- THERE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSION OF CONDITIONS. BUT IF THEY CAN BE REPEATED OF THE CONDITIONS TO BE ADDED TO THE SITE PLAN WITH RESPECT TO THE USE OF THE ROOFTOP TERRACE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IF E APPLICANT WANTS TO RESTATE THE SORT OF SHRINKING OF THE ROOFTOP WITH MORE SPECIFICITY. GO AHEAD. >> BEFORE -- >>ORLANDO GUDES: ONE AT A T TIME. GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL APPLICANT OF THE BRICK AND MORTAR AND THEN GO TO YOU, SIR. >> OKAY JUST TO REITERATE WHAT I WAS SAYING TO ADDRESS THE NEIGHBORSY PRIVACY CONCERNS, ON THE EAST AND WEST SIDE THE ROOFTOP TERRACES, WE COULD RAISE THE WALLS SO THEY WOULD BE HIGHER AND OBSTRUCT YOUR VIEW FROM THE EAST AND WEST. AND ON THE SOUTH SIDE, WHICH IS FACING DOWNTOWN, WE COULD CREATE AN INTERIOR BARRIER OR GATE WHICH WILL PROHIBIT PEOPLE FROM CONGREGATING ALONG THE SOUTH WALL TO BE ABLE TO VIEW INTO THE NEIGHBOR ACE YARDS. AND WE WILL ALSO POINT OUT WHERE THE ROOFTOP TERRACE IS WHICH WILL BE IN AN AREA WHERE WE WON'T BE -- YOU KNOW, OBSTRUCTING ANYONE'S PRIVACY. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. MIRANDA, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I NEED SOME CLARITY. AGREEING WITH MR. DINGFELDER WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING. IF I GET THIS RIGHT, WE WILL LEAVE THE BUILDING AT -- THE WALLS ARE GOING TO BE OVER 35 FEET. TO ME, THAT IS ALREADY AN INFRINGEMENT ON WHAT THE INTENT OF THE ZONING LAWS REGULATE AT 35 FEET. SECONDLY, WHEN YOU MOVE SOMETHING THAT NOW YOU ARE SAYING YOU ARE GOING TO SHRINK WHATEVER IT WAS TO WHATEVER IT IS, IT IS LIKE PUTTING A POU OF SOMETHING INTO A POUND BAG. NOW PUT A POUND AND A HALF INTO A POUND BAG, BECAUSE NOW YOU ARE GOING TO GOING TO SAY SHRINK IT TO THE CENTER OF THE BUILDING. TO ME A MENTAL VIOLATION OF THE RULES. SOME OTHER PETITIONER -- AND I AM NOT SPEAKING TO YOU DIR DIRECTLY, SIR -- CAN COME IN AND SAY DECEMBER 30, 2021, YOU DID THIS AND YOU I PROVED IT. AND SIZE OF A FOOTBALL FIELD AND 50 YARDS IN THE CENTER. AND IT IS GOING TO GET USED AGAINST WHAT THE PRINCIPLES OF THE IDEAS ARE OF ZONING. THAT IS WHY I AM OBJECTING TO IT NOW. I WASN'T BEFORE, BUT WHEN YOU SCALE DOWN AND YOU STILL WANT TO HAVE INDIVIDUAL CONVERSATION OR PARTNERS -- JUST IN A SMALLER AREA SNAP WHAT I AM HEARING? MR. PETITIONER? IS THAT WHAT I AM HEARING? >> UM -- >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES OR NO. I DON'T WANT AN "UM." YES OR NO, A VERY SIMPLE QUESTION. >> YES. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER, WHAT IS YOUR INTENTION WITH THE PETITIONER TO BRING THIS IN FOR A LANDING. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I THINK WHAT I HEARD THE RESIDENT'S MAIN CONCERN ON THE PRIVACY ISSUE WAS PEOPLE LOOKING OVER OFF THE ROOF TOP GARDEN INTO THEIR BACKYARDS. AND I BELIEVE -- AND WE AREN'T -- IT IS NOT A FINAL VOTE TO TODAY. THE FINAL VOTE WILL BE FROM A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER WE LOOK AT HIS REVISED SITE PLAN, BUT THE PETITIONER IS DISCUSSING A WAY TO IS THAT RINK DOWN THE -- THE ROOF TOP ARE AND RAISE THE WALLS SLIGHTLY TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE PRIVACY CONCERNS. BETWEEN THOSE TWO ADJUSTMENTS, I THINK IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD LOOK AT MERELY VOTING FOR MY MOTION TODAY DOES NOT APPROVE THE REZONING, IT MERELY GIVES THIS GENTLEMAN AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVISIT THAT ROOFTOP GARDEN TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE NEIGHBORS AND WE CAN VOTE ON IT SEVERAL WEEKS FROM NOW. SO THAT IS -- MY MOTION IS TO WHY THAT HEAKE THOSE ADJUSTMENTS AND WE BRING IT BACK IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS WHEN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHEN THE APPROPRIATE DATE WILL BE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. MIRANDA, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AM JUST GOING TO SAY THIS. I UNDERSTAND OR I THINK I DO WHAT THE INTENT IS, AND I AM NOT OPPOSED TO VOTING FOR THIS TO CONTINUE TO A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD IN THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO WEEKS OR WHATEVER; HOWEVER, IF IT COMES BACK AND MORE THAN 35 FEET, I AM GOING TO VOTE NO. BECAUSE IN ANY BUILDING THAT I HAVE SEEN SO FAR, IF THE INTENT OF THE LAW IS 35 FEET PERIOD. AND BUILD A WALL -- THE WALL IS NOT GOING TO BE LOWER THAN THE ROOFTOP AND WILL BE HIGHER. RIGHT THERE A VIOLATION OF LAW. IF YOU SHRINK IT DOWN, THE INTENT OF THE LAW IS FOR PRIVACY AND TOO HAVE A SCOPE WITHIN THE BUILDING NOT WITHIN THE ROOFTOP AND YOU MIGHT -- MIGHT -- NOTICE WHAT I AM SAYING. MIGHT BRING IN INDIVIDUALS FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAVE BEEN FOR THE OWN PROJECT. YOU ARE THE PETITIONER. I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT TO DO OR WHAT NOT TO DO. THAT'S ALL I AM SAYING. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIRMAN, I PROBABLY LED COUNCIL DOWN THAT IMPROPER P PATH. ZANE. WHAT IS ALLOWABLE HEIGHT FOR THIS DOCTOR YOU KNOW, FOR THIS PROPOSED PD. I SAID 35. BUT OBVIOUSLY I MISSPOKE, BECAUSE THE STAIRCASES ARE AT A HIGHER HEIGHT. SO I APOLOGIZE TO FOR LEADING US DOWN -- ASTRAY. >> CORRECT. YES SIR. AS FOR RS-50 ZONING, 35 FEET IS THE MAX. AS FOR THE PD, THEY CAN GO 40 FEET. IF IT IS THE DECISION OF CITY COUNCIL THAT WE WANT TO PUSH THIS TO ANOTHER SECOND HEARING, THE APPLICANT WILL NEED TO PROVIDE ELEVATION AND NEW SITE PLAN WEEK PRIOR TO STAFF SO WE CAN REVIEW IF ANY CHANGES IF ALL CHANGES HAVE MADE DUE TO THE EAST AND WEST ROOFTOP AND ALSO TO THE SOUTH SIDE ROOFTOP. SO STAFF WILL REVIEW THAT A WEEK PRIOR. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WHAT DATE WOULD YOU SAY IS COMFORTABLE FOR EVERYBODY? >>CLERK: THE NEXT AVAILABLE DATE. >>MARTIN SHELBY: NOVEMBER 4, COUNCIL. THAT IS A DAY MEETING NOVEMBER 4. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IS THE PETITIONER AMENABLE FOR THOSE REVISIONS AND FOR POSSIBLE APPROVAL ON NOVEMBER 4? SECOND READDING. >> YES, MA'AM, I AM. THAT GIVES US PLENTY OF TIME TO GET THE DRAWINGS SUBMITTED MORE THAN A WEEK IN ADVANCE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: LET ME SAY TO MR. DINGFELDER. I AM LOOKING AT FACES OF COUNCILMEMBERS AND WITH -- NOW WITH KNEES NEW DEVELOPMENTS. I HAD TO VOTE TODAY ON THIS PROJECT, IT WOULD BE A DOWNERY AND EVEN WITH THE POSSIBLE CORRECTIONS -- POSSIBLE CORRECTIONS INDUSTRIAL TO GO THROUGH A WHOLE RIGMAROLE TO SEE THIS DONE STILL MAY BE A DOWNER. I WANT TO CAUTION YOU EVEN WITH SOME OF THESE CHANGES MR. DINGFELDER IS TALKING ABOUT, IT MAY GO THROUGH MR. HUSSEIN'S OFFICE. MR. MIRANDA HAS A POINT. IF STILL GOING UP, STILL MAY BE A VIOLATION. YOUR DECISION WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IF MR. DINGFELDER PUTS A VOTE FOR CONTINUANCE, I WILL GO WITH THE CONTINUANCE. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIRMAN. LET ME THROWN THIS OUT AND I THOUGHT OF THIS INITIALLY. THE OTHER ALTERNATIVE IS TO RECOMMEND THAT THE APPLICANT STRIKE THE ROOFTOP AMENITY COMPLETELY. IF YOU STRIKE THE ROOFTOP AMENITY COMPLETELY, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT IS KIND OF NICE. I HAVE SEEN SOME TOWNTHEMES HAVE THE ROOFTOP GARDENS IN PLACE WHERE IS IT IS NOT INTRUSIVE OF THE NEIGHBORS. ONE OFF THE EXPRESSWAY IN WEST TAMPA AND THEY ARE PRETTY NICE. I CAN SEE IF YOU LIVE IN A T TOWNHOME AND ENJOY THE NICE WEATHER OF OCTOBER THAT WE ARE HAVING SEPTEMBER OCTOBER THAT IT WOULD BE NICE TO GO OUT ON THE ROOF TOP, BUT IF IT IS REALLY INTRUSIVE ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IF IT IS COU COUNCIL'S PLEASURE, WE CAN RECOMMEND TO STRIKE THE ROOFTOP PERIOD AND THAT WILL ADDRESS THE HEIGHT ISSUE BECAUSE HE DOESN'T NEED A STAIRWELL TO THE TOP AND WLD ARESS THE -- THE HIGHER SIDE WALLS AND -- AND THE WHOLE -- THAT WHOLE -- THAT WHOLE LINE OF DISCUSSION. SO I AM FLEXIBLE. I WAS -- I AM A MEDIATOR. I TRY WORK THESE THINGS OUT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I GET IT. FROM WHAT I AM HEARING AND WE DON'T WANT TO MAKE PEOPLE DO THINGS THEY MAY NOT WANT TO DO. MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE IF YOU CONTINUE IT THAT THE APPLICANT DECIDE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO WITH THEIR DESIGN. IF THEY CHANGE. WHATEVER YOU ARE GOING TO DO AND BRING IT BACK WHATEVER THEY DECIDE TO DO RATHER THAN SAY MANDATE AND STILL MAY NOT BE RIGHT WHEN IT COMES BACK US TO. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN. >>ORLANDO GUDES: YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>MARTIN SHELBY: AND MISS WELLS CAN ADD TO THIS. HAS TO BE PURSUANT TO COUNCIL'S DIRECTION OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO FIRST READING BECAUSE COULD BE SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE TO THE NEW SITE PLAN. I GUESS THE QUESTION ULTIMATELY SOMEBODY YOU HEARD TESTIMONY. I DON'T BELIEVE ANY OTHER PUBLIC PEOPLE -- ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO WISH TO SPEAK. SO COUNCIL, IT IS ULTIMATELY UP TO THE PETITIONE TO KE THE CASE FOR REBUTTAL IF HE HAS REQUEST FROM COUNCIL TO DO SO, BECAUSE ULTIMATELY THE REQUEST FOR A CONTINUANCE IS STILL COUNCIL'S TAMPA WANTS AND WHATEVER DECISION IT MAKES NEEDS TO BE BASED ON THE RECORD. SO ULTIMATELY IT -- IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE PETITIONER, MR. DINGFELDER, RELATIVE TO THE SUGGESTION, NOW WOULD BE THE TIME BEFORE YOU ASK. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YEAH, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE PETITIONER WITH REGARD TO -- I GUESS THREE OPTIONS ON THE FLOOR. THE FIRST OPTION WE CAN VOTE ON TO THE WAY IT IS IN FRONT O US RIGHT NOW. THE SECOND OPTION IS, WE CAN TWEAK THE ROOFTOP AREAS. AND THE THIRD OPTION IS, WE CAN ELIMINATE THE ROOFTOP AREAS. OPTION B AND OPTION C WOULD REQUIRE OF BRINGING IT BACK FOR SECOND READING. YES SIR. >> YES. ONE ONLY -- I AM WILLING TO STRIKE THE ROOFTOPS IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD. ONLY ONE ISSUE THAT REMAINS IF WE DO THAT IS THE STAIRWELLS WOULD HAVE TO REMAIN DUE TO THE AIR CONDITIONING PLACEMENT ON THE ROOF TECH TERRACE. I WOULD BE WILLING TO STRIKE THE ROOF DECK AS LONG AS WE CAN LEAVE THE STAIRS TO ACCESS THE AC AND NOT HAVE TO RELOCATE THOSE AND WE CAN MOVE FORWARD, OTHERWISE, I WOULD REQUEST A CONTINUANCE FOR A SECOND HEARING. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: RIGHT. OKAY. SO I WILL MODIFY MY MOTION AND STRIKE MY EARLIER MOTION. THE NEW MOTION THAT THE GENTLEMAN STRIKE THE HABITABLE AREAS ON THE ROOF COMPLETELY AND BRING BACK THOSE DRAWINGS BACK TO US ON NOVEMBER 4 FOR SECOND READING. >>ORLANDO GUDES: SECOND BY MR.

AGAIN, ITEM NUMBER 94 IS A PETITION FILED BY RON FAIR REGARDING THE DECISION OF THE VARIANCE REVIEW BOARD, VR VRB-21-25 FOR PROPERTY 3305 WEST LYKES AVENUE. THE PROPERTY OWNER IS THOMAS BUCKING HAPPHAM AND ZONING IS R S-100. APPROVED VARIANCE TO DECREASE -- INCREASE FROM 15 FEET TO 25 FEET FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A T TWO-STORY ACCESSORY STRUCTURE. AGAIN, THE BOARD -- THE VARIANCE REVIEW BOARD BASES THEIR DECISION ON SECTION 27 27-80. THE VARIANCE REVIEW BOARD HEARD CASE APRIL 14, 2021 AND APPROVED THE REQUEST 6-0. HERE IS AN AERIAL MAP OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WITH SURROUNDING ZONING. AS YOU CAN SEE IT IS RESIDENTIAL IN NATURE. SHOWN HERE IS THE SURVEY PROVIDED BYHE APPLICANT AND A SITE PLAN PROVIDED FROM THE APPLICANT SHOWING THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE. THESE ARE THE ELEVATIONS FOR THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE. THESE ARE EXTERIOR PICTURES OF THE PROPERTY AS WELL SURROUNDING PROPERTY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. AND I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? ALL RIGHT. WE WILL HEAR FROM THE APPL APPLICANT. >> GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS FRED MILLS. I AM AN ATTORNEY. SITTING TO MY RIGHT IS THE APPLICANT RON -- OR THE PETITIONER RON FAIR. WE ACTUALLY REQUESTING THAT OF THE REMEDIES THAT WERE MENTIONED EARLIER THE DECISION OF THE BOARD BE OVERTURNED. THERE WAS BE A BE INTO COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY CODE ITSELF. THE ACTUAL CODE READS THAT ACCESSORY STRUCTURES SHALL NOT EXCEED 15 FEET IN HEIGHT, CO COMMA, UNLESS -- AND IT GIVES TWO EXCEPTIONS THAT THE STRUCTURE ILOCADED IN A NATIONAL OR LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, WHICH NEITHER ONE OF THOSE APPLY. IN THIS PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, THE HARDSHIP WAS NOT MET. IT HAD A SIMPLE BOX TO CHECK AND SAY YES. THE DISCUSSION WAS THAT THERE WAS A PRE-EXISTING STRUCTURE THERE THAT HAD BEEN REMOVED AND THEY WERE JUST BUILDING IT BACK. WHICH IS, IN FACT, NOT TRUE. NOTHING PRESENTED TO SHOW WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY THERE. THERE IS NO HEIGHT. THIS WAS LIMITED TO 15 FEET. EV IF EVEN IF EITHER OF THESE EXCEPTIONS WHICH WERE THE NATIONAL AND LOCAL DISTRICT APPLY, THEY WOULD BE ALLOWED TO GO TO 50%. SO YOU WOULD HAVE THE 15 AND ANOTHER 7.5 WHICH A MAXIMUM OF 22.5 IF IT APPLIED. BUT IT DIDN'T APPLY. MR. FAIR WAS PRESENT. HE WALKED THROUGH ALL OF THESE ITEMS. AND THEY DON'T MEET. IT IS CLEARLY A DETACHED STRUCTURE. OTHER WAY IT CAN BE REMEDIED. IT HAS A FULL -- THOUGH THE PLAN, STORAGE FOR THE SECOND OR A BONUS ROOM FOR THE FLOOR A FULL BATHROOM. BASICALLY A SECOND STRUCTURE. THE CODE WAS SET UP FOR MANY REASONS. IF YOU HAVE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. THAT THEY WILL REMAIN SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. THIS IS OT ATTACHED DUE DETACHED. AIR CONDITIONING THROUGHOUT. WE PROPOSE NO DIFFERENCE WITH A LTIFAMILY STRUCTURE ADJACENT TO IT, FRONT, BACK. ONCE THE PERMIT GOES TO 25 F FEET. MR. FAIR HIMSELF LIVES BEEN TWO HOUSES OF THIS PROPERTY. HE WENT THROUGHOUT PROCESS TO BUILD HIS GARAGE. HE WAS TOLD ABSOLUTELY NO WAY COULD IT BE A ATTACHED GARAGE OF THIS BY ABBYE FEELEY PRIOR TO THE CONSTRUCTION AT THE HIS HOUSE WEST OAKLAND. HE HAD TO REGISTER AND DO EVERYTHING ELSE WITH THE PLANS TO CONSTRUCT IT AS AN ATTACHED GARAGE SO IT FEM WITHIN THE SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONING THAT IT HAD. IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, NONE OF THOSE HARDSHIPS WERE MET. NONE OF IT WAS MET. IT WAS APPROVED. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF HAVING THE CODE IF, IN FACT, IT IS GOING TO BE BLATANTLY DISREGARDED. THE CODE IS THERE FOR ANY NUMBER OF REASONS. NOT JUST THE ZONING, FIRE CODE, ANYTHING THAT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT WHEN BUILDING ADDITIONAL STRUCTURES ON THE PROPERTY. WE REQUEST THAT IT BE OVERTURNED AND DENIED. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU. THESE FOLKS ARE ONES THAT FILED THE PETITION TO GET THE CASE REVERSED. WHO WOULD BE UP NEXT, MR. SHELBY? >> GOOD MORNING MR. CHAIRMAN. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THAT WAS THE PRESENTATION BY THE AGGRIEVED PERSON. >>MARTIN SHELBY: EXACTLY, THE AGGRIEVED PERSON. SDOYNGZ HERE IS THE APPLICANT. >>MARTIN SHELBY: WAIT. A CLARIFICATION. I THINK -- I THINK MISS PE PETTIS-MACKLE NEEDS TO MAKE THE CLARIFICATION SO CLEAR OF THE ORDER AND PRESENTATION. MISS PETTIS-MACKLE, WILL YOU PLEASE. >> POINT OF CLARIFICATION, MR. FAIR IS THE PETITIONER FOR THE PETITION FOR REVIEW. THE PROPERTY OWNER IS -- HE IS PRESENT. D I BELIEVE THERE GRANDOFF THERE TO REPRESENT THE PROPERTY OWNER. BUT THE AGGRIEVED PERSON IS THE PETITIONER FOR THE PETITION FOR REVIEW. HE ALSO FINISHED HIS PRESENTATION. [INAUDIBLE] >>CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE: MR. GRANDOFF IS THE PETITION OWNER. >JOHN DINGFELDER: HEAR FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER -- THE IFOU LK AT THE AGENDA, IT FLIPS IT AROUND. SO ANYWAY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN -- SORRY, FORGIVE ME FOR SAYING THIS AND IF PEOPLE I SPEAK OUT OF TURN, CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE WITH CORRECT ME, BUT AN AGGRIEVED PERSON IS NOT NECESSARILY ON OPPONENT. AN AGGRIEVED PERSON WHO HAS STANDING TO BRING REVIEW ON A DECISION OF A LOWER BOARD. AND THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS CASE. AND BY DEFINITION, THAT -- ON THAT BASIS WHAT GIVES THEM STANDING TO BE ABLE TO REQUEST A REVIEW. I CORRECT ON THIS, MISS CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE? OR DID I STATE SOMETHING INCORRECT? I WANT TO MAKE SURE. >>CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE: THAT IS CORRECT. MR. FAIR IS THE PETITIONER -- FAILED A PETITION FOR REVIEW BECAUSE HE IS AN AGGRIEVED PERSON. >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I LOOK AT THIS FORM HERE, WE PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE. WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE APPLICANT'S LAST PETITION, CORRECT? >>CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE: NO. YOU CAN GO ON TO MR. GRANDOFF WHO REPRESENTS THE PROPERTY OWNER WHO FILED THE UNDERLYING VARIANCE. THE APPLICATION FOR THE VARIANCE REVIEW BOARD. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT COCHLEAR FAY OCCASION. MR. GRANDOFF. >> GOOD MORNING, MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COU COUNCIL. MY NAME IS JOHN GRANDOFF. MY ADDRESS SUITE 3700 BANK OF AMERICA PLAZA. AND I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF REPRESENTING MR. THOMAS BUCKINGHAM. AND I AM ALSO JOINED BY HI DAUGHTER, MAGGIE CHRISTIE WHO IS BEHIND ME. MAGGIE, IF YOU RAISE YOUR HAND PLEASE. IF I MIGHT CELT THE STAGE FOR A MOMENT. THE VARIANCE FILED BY THE BUCKINGHAM BY MR. ZADOK MILLS WHO WAS THEIR GENERAL CONTRACTOR. THE VARIANCE WAS APPROVED 6-0. MR. FAIR APPEALED THAT APPROVAL WHICH IS BEFORE YOU THIS MORNING. I'M HERE TO REQUEST THAT YOU AFFIRM THE VARIANCE WHICH WAS GRANTED 67-0. MISS MACKLE, CAN YOU CONFIRM THE TIME I HAVE AVAILABLE FOR THE ARGUMENT. >>CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE: GOOD MORNING, MR. CHAIR. ACCORDING TO THE PROPOSED RULES OF PROCEDURES THINK THAT PROVIDED I PROPOSED THE -THE -- THE PROPERTY OWNER TO HAVE 15 MINUTES. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: BUT YOU DON'T NEED TO TAKE IT ALL, MR. GRANDOFF. >> I WILL BE VERY BRIEF. OKAY. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO START WITH FIRST IS THE VARIANCE WAS APPROVED 6-0. WHAT IS IMPORTANT OF THAT, THE MOTION FOR APPROVAL WAS MADE BY MR. DUSTIN PASTEUR WHO WAS APPOINTED BY YOU TO THE VARIANCE REVIEW BOARD. WHY IS THAT SIGNATURE? BECAUSE MR. PAST EUR IS AN AIA ARCHITECT AND HE MADE THE MOTION FOR APPROVAL. HE HAPPENS TO BE THE CHIEF ARCHITECT OF TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL. HIS MOTION FOUND THAT THE VARIANCE WAS IN HARMONY WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT, BECAUSE THIS IS A GENTLEMAN WITH SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE. MAKING A MOTION FOR APPROVAL. THE MOTION PASSES 6-0. SPEAKS OF AN AGGRIEVED PERSON, THIS IS THE -- LET ME TRY TO GET THIS FOR YOU THE BEST I C CAN. THIS IS THE BUCKINGHAM PRO PROPERTY. MR. FAIR LIVES HERE, JUST INSIDE THE 250-FOOT MARK. HE IS IN A SEPARATE PLAT. PARKLAND ESTATES. ZONING IS RS-75. THIS IS A DIFFERENT PLAT, GULFVIEW ESTATES. R S-100. THIS IS A NEW HOME GOING UP. I WILL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A MOMENT. THE SOLNER, THE MONARI, THE ARMIST PROPERTY IS IMMEDIATELY TO THE SOUTH. WHAT IS SIGNIFICANT ABOUT THAT? THE MOLINARIS HAVE ISSUED A LETTER APPROVAL. THE BRANDEWES A LETTER APP APPROVAL. THE SOLNERS ISSUED A LETTER OF APPROVAL. WHAT YOU HAVE IS A LETTER THAT MAGGIE CRAFTED WITH MY ASSISTANCE EXPLAINING HER REQUEST. AND SEARCH OF THESE NEIGHBORS CONFIRM AN APPROVAL. BASICALLY SPEAKING, THEY ARE FINDING THAT THE APPLICATION WAS IN HARMONY WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. LET'S GO ON THE PROPERTY FOR A MOMENT. LET'S LOOK AT A COUPLE OF THINGS. THIS IS MR. FAIR'S HOME WITH HIS ATTACHED GARAGE AT 27 FEET, 11 INCHES. IN FACT, MR. FAIR IS A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER AND WAS PROBABLY INTIMATELY INVOLVED IN THE PREPARATION OF THESE PLANS FOR HIS HOME. AND THIS IS MR. FAIR'S WESTERN ELEVATION. THIS IS THE WAY HE WOULD BE LOOKING FORWARD MY CLIENT'S PROPERTY. TALKING ABOUT AGGRIEVED PERSON. MR. FAIR TRULY AGGRIEVED? A VIEW FROM MR. FAIS FRONT YARD. THE DETACHED GARAGE WILL BE BACK HERE. AGAIN, TWO LOTS BACK, MOVING TOWARD LINCOLN AVENUE. THIS IS FROM ACROSS THE STREET FROM MR. FAIR. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. GRANDOFF, WITH THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME THAT YOU HAVE, IF I COULD JUST ASK YOU ONE THING. >> SURE. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WE ARE NOT HERE ON A QUESTION OF STANDING. MR. FAIR HAS STANDING OTHERWISE YOU WOULD BE OBJECTING TO IT. >> CORRECT. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: BUT WE ARE HERE ON THE QUESTION OF H HARDSHIP ASR. CRO A I SERVED MANY, MANY YEARS ON THE VRB. THE FIVE BASIC HARDSHIP QUESTIONS. UNFORTUNATELY WHEN I LOOK AT THE APPLICATION, THE ANSWERS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY GIVEN ON THE APPLICATION OF THE HARDSHIP SAYS YES, OKAY, NO, OKAY, OKAY, OKAY. NOT A LOT OF ELABORATION. WE WEREN'T PRIVY TO THE DELIBERATIONS OF THE VRB AND THE EXPLANATION. IF YOU FOCUS ON THE HARDSHIP CRITERIA, I THINK IT WILL BE FANTASTIC. >> OKAY, WELL I WILL DO SO. I WILL TAKE YOU -- >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YOU ARE ALLOWED DE NOVO EVIDENCE ACCORDING TO MR. SHELBY. NOW WE ARE LOOKING TO THE REAR OF THE BUCKINGHAM PROPERTY. WHAT IS SIGNIFICANT IS THE TREE THERE. AND HERE IS ANOTHER VIEW OF THE TREE. THE MOLINARI PROPERTY THAT IS NOT OBJECTING TO THE APPLICATION. HERE IS THE TREE. AND HERE IS THE VIEW FROM THE FRONT OF THE BUCKINGHAM PROPERTY. NOW WHY IS THE TREE SIGNIFICANT? PARDON ME FOR A MOMENT. THE PREVIOUS DETACHED STRUCTURE WAS BUILT IN 1925. 18 FEET. 18 AND A HALF FEET PREZONING AND WAS DEMOLISHED BUILD THE NEW STRUCTURE 23.5 FEET ON THE STAPLE FOOTPRINT. THEY CAN NOT MOVE TO THE EAST OR THE WES, BECAUSE THEY ARE HEMMED IN BY THAT TREE AND THEY CAN NOT MOVE TO THE EAST BECAUSE HEMMED IN BY THE EXISTING POOL. HERE IS THE BOUNDARY SURVEY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I CAN HAVE THAT BROUGHT UP, PLEASE. >> MR. MILLS SAID THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE RECORD EXPLAINING THE LOCATION OF THE -- OF THE PREVIOUS STRUCTURE. THAT IS INCORRECT. THIS WAS THE PREVIOUS STRUCTURE. HERE IS THE TREE. THAT I JUST SHOWED YOU. HERE IS THE SITE PLAN THAT MR. MILLS PREPARED. AGAIN, THERE IS THE TREE. HERE IS THE REPLACEMENT STRUCTURE BOWED OUT A LITTLE BIT HERE. HERE IS THE WOOL. THEY CAN NOT MOVE EAST. THEY CAN NOT MOVE WEST. THEY CAN ONLY GO UP. A HARDSHIP WITH THE PROPERTY. THE MOLINARIS LIVE HERE. RICK SOLNER LIVE HERE. NO OBJECTION. MR. FAIR LIVES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF LYNN CAN STREET ON ANOTHER PLAT IN ANOTHER ZONING DISTRICT. NOW MR. MILLS, THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR -- >>ORLANDO GUDES: REPEAT THAT AGAIN SIR. >> MR. FAIR WHO IS OBJECTING LIVES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF LINCOLN IN A DIFFERENT SUBDIVISION IN A DIFFERENT ZONING. HE IS IN PARKLAND ESTATES. ZONING RS-75. THIS PROPERTY IS IN GULFVIEW ESTATES R S-100. HE IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PROPERTY CHARACTER. THESE ARE TO PROVE HARMONY WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. LET ME BACK -- LET ME PAUSE FOR A MOMENT. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE HARDSHIP PROOF THAT I PLACED ON THE RECORD? >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU MARCH THROUGH ALL FIVE OF THEM WITH SOME DETAIL. I DON'T THINK THE OPINIONS OF THE NEIGHBORS IS OF THE H HARDSHIP. >> CERTAINLY IS NOT BUT PART OF THE CRITERIA. PARDON ME A SECOND. I NEED TO LOCATE THE CODE. HERE IS THE CODE. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YOU NEED TO STAY IN FRONT OF THE MICR MICROPHONE JOHN. >> SORRY. HERE IS THE CODE. WHAT IS IMPORTANT -- THE APPLICANT MR. FAIR HAS TO BE AN AGGRIEVED PERSON WHICH SAN APPLICANT OR ANY OWNER WITHIN 250 FEET OF A SUBJECT PROPERTY. AGGRIEVED PERSON. HAS TO PROVE THERE IS SOME HARM HERE. LET'S GET INTO THE CRITERIA. THAT WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE. NEW MEXICO ONE, HARDSHIPS ARE UNIQUE AND SINGULAR RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY AND NOT SUFFER IN COMMON WITH OTHER PROPEIES. NONCONFORMING STRUCTURE DEMOLISHED. A TREE I HAVE SHOWN. THE SPATIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LAYOUT OF THE PROPERTY TO GO EAST AND WEST IS IMPOSSIBLE BASED ON THOSE CONVICTIONS. THAT UNIQUE. NUMBER TWO, HARDSHIP DOES NOT RESULT FROM ACCESS OF THE APPLICATION. THEY DO NOT. THE TREE EXIST THERE IS AND A NONCONFORMING GARAGE THAT WAS DECREPIT AND BEING REMOVED AND ERASED. THEY WANT TOO RAISE IT TO 23 AND A HALF FEET. GRANTED WILL NOT SUBSTANTIALF INTERFERE AND INJURY THE HE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF OTHERS. THE THREE NEIGHBORS WHO DO NOT OBJECT. HOW ON MR. FAIR ON THE ORDINARY SIDE OF THE STREET BEING SUBSTANTIALLY INTERFERED WITH? HE DID NOT DEMONSTRATE THAT AT THE HEARING. HE BASICALLY SAID I DON'T LIKE IT. TAKE IT DOWN. THIS MORNING, HE NOW COMPLAINS TO YOU ABOUT THE PROCESS HE HAD TO GO THROUGH TO BUILD HIS STRUCTURE. WHO CARES. THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CASE. NUMBER 4, THIS IS THESE PIC PICTURES. THIS IS DUSTIN PASTEURS MOTION. THE VARIANCE IS IN HARMONY WITH AND SERVE THE GENERAL INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THIS CHAPTER AND THE ADOPTED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THAT HAD WAS HIS FINDING. SEVERAL HOURS IN THE GULF VIEW PLAT WITH DETACHED STRUCTURES THAT EXCEED THE 15-FOOT LIMITATION. NUMBER FIVE, FINALLY, BOTH PUBLIC BENEFITS ARE INTENDED TO BE SECURED BY THIS CHAPTER. THERE WILL BE SUBSTANTIAL JUSTICE DONE. AND THE INDIVIDUAL HARDSHIPS OR PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES THAT WILL BE SUFFERED DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE BOARD TO GRANT A VARIANCE. IF YOU HAVE A NONCONFORMING 18-AND-A-HALF-FOOT DECREPIT GARAGE THAT YOU DEMOLISH, IT IS PUNITIVE TO REQUIRE THAT GARAGE TO BE BUILT AT 15 FEET WHEN YOU DEMONSTRATED THE HARDSHIPS WE PUT IN EVIDENCE THIS MORNING. I WILL SUMMARIZE IN A MOMENT. LET ME LOOK AT MY NOTES. MR. FAIR PUT INTO EVIDENCE AT THE HEARING THIS WAS A 66% INCREASE. THIS IS ERRONEOUS BECAUSE MY CLIENT HAD THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE THE 18 AND A HALF-FOOT GARAGE. HE IS MEASURING 15 FEET TO 25 FEET WHICH IS 66%. THIS IS 18 AND A HALF FEET TO 25 FEET. MY CLIENT WILL BUILD 23.5 FEET. AND WITH THREE NEIGHBORS ON ALL SIDES, NO OBJECTIONS. THAT TESTIMONY WAS INCOMPETENT AND WAS UNSUBSTANTIAL AND DID NOT SUPPORT ANYTHING CLOSE TO A MOTION OF DENIAL. AGAIN, REMEMBER MR. DUSTIN PASTEUR'S MOTION FINDING OF HARMONY AND CONSIDERING OF THE HARDSHIPS MY CLIENTS HAVE SH SHOWN. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOU AFFIRM THE DECISION THAT WAS GRANTED BY YOUR VARIANCE REVIEW BOARD BY 6-0. I REMAIN AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. GRANDOFF? MR. DINGFELDER. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MR. GRANDOFF. I APPRECIATE YOU HONING IN ON THE HARDSHIP CRITERIA BECAUSE OOBIOUSLY THAT IS THE MOST CRITICAL PART PUT UP THE SITE PLAN IF YOU CAN ONE MORE SECOND, MR. GRANDOFF. THIS IS THE -- THE SITE PLAN PRESENTED BY ZADICK MILLS WHO WAS THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY. THE TWO THINGS SHE IS LOOKING FOR IS THE GARAGE. LOOKS LIKE PROBABLY A DOUBLE GARAGE ON THE SAME FOOT PRINT SHE HAD BEFORE AND SOME TYPE OF LIVING AREA ABOVE. I AM ASSUMING A LITTLE GUEST AREA OR PLAYROOM. >> HE HAS YOUNG CHILDREN, PLAYROOM. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IN THIS PARTICULAR -- IT IS NOT ALLOWED AS A MATTER OF RIGHT SO WHY PEOPLE HAVE TO COME IN FOR A VARIANCE. THE QUESTION IS, COULD -- COULD THOSE TWO STRUCTURES BE BUILT AT THE ALLOWABLE HEIGHT WITHIN THAT EXISTING FOOTPRINT. IN OTHER WOR, CAN YOU PUSH THE GARAGE UP TO TOWARD. IS SHE ON LINCOLN STREET. >> HERE IS THE HOME. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: COULD IT BE PUT SOMEWHERE ELSE NEAR THERE. SO THE GARAGE IS ONE-STORY AND THE ADDITIONAL HOME -- THE ADDITIONAL PLAYROOM OR WHATEVER SHE WANTS FOR THE KIDS IS ON ONE STORY AND EVERYTHING STAYS WITHIN THE CODE. IF NOT, THEN IT -- THEN YOU ARE SAYING IT HAS TO BE TWO STO STORIES. >> I WILL VENTURE A GUESS ON THAT. I DON'T THINK THE FIRE REGULATIONS WOULD ALLOW THAT BECAUSE THE HOUSE -- THE STRUCTURES WILL BE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YOU ARE SAYING BECAUSE OF THE TREE, NOWHERE TO MOVE THAT GARAGE CLOSER -- CLOSER UP TO THE TREE AND NO SPACE FOR THAT ADDITIONAL SQUARE FOOTAGE. >> A GRAND TREE AND EXISTING SWIMMING POOL HERE ALSO. YOU CAN'T GO EAST AND WEST. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WE ARE HAVING TROUBLE HEARING. >> YOU LET ME POINT. THE TE IS HERE. THE GRAND TREE. I SHOWED YOU A PICTURE OF IT. SO THEY CAN'T GO EAST AND KEEP IT AT 15 FEET. THE POOL IS HERE. CAN'T GO -- CAN'T GO WEST. CANNOT GO EAST. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SOMEBODY HAS TESTIFIED FACTUALLY THAT THE PRIOR STRUCTURE WAS HOW TALL? >> 18.5 FEET. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SHE IS LOOKING FOR AN ADDITIONAL FOUR OR FIVE FEET? HE IS E EXISTING. HERE IS THE PREVIOUS STRUCTURE. IT IS LITERALLY ON THE F FOOTPRINT. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU. I HAVE NO OTHER QUESTIONS. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, MR. GRANDOFF? >>BILL CARLSON: MAYBE THIS IS A STAFF QUESTION BUT MAYBE YOU CAN ANSWER. YOU TESTIFIED OF THE AI ARCHITECT WHO MADE THE MOTION. WHEN THAT VARIANCE REVIEW BOARD MET, DID THEY HAVE THE BENEFIT OF THE AGGRIEVED PARTY'S TESTIMONY? DID SHE HEAR THE SAME ARGUMENTS WE HEARD A LITTLE WHILE AGO FROM ATE GRIEVED PARTIED? >> YES, I WATCHED THE TAPE OF IT. >>BILL CARLSON: THEY DID, THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, WE GO BACK TO THE APPLICANT/PETITIONER. >> YES. THANK YOU. COUPLE OF THINGS THAT -- >>ORLANDO GUDES: RECOGNIZED MR. SHELBY BEE. >>MARTIN SHELBY: SORRY TO INTERRUPT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE PROCESS. I BELIEVE THE ONLY TESTIMONY WAS THE ATTORNEYS. THE QUESTION SIEVE -- DO WE WANT TO GO PUBLIC COMMENT AND THEN HAVE PERIODS OF REBUTTAL. >>ORLANDO GUDES: CAN WE ASK MISS CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE. >>CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE: CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. I DON'T KNOW IF THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO CROSS-EXAMINE ANY WITNESSES, BUT BOTH COUNSELS ADVOCATED FOR CLIENTS. AND ITEM -- THE PROCESS THAT THE PETITIONER AND THE PROPERTY OWNER CAN PARTICIPATE IN IF THERE WILL ANY EVIDENCE TO CROSS EXAMINATION. THAT IS WHY I PROVIDED THAT PROCESS. BUT IF THEY DO NOT WANT TO UTILIZE THAT PROCESS, I WOULD ASK TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY ADDITIONAL -- ANY ADDITIONAL MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON THIS. >>ORLANDO GUDES: DOES EITHER SIDE WANT TO COMMENT FURTHER? CROSS EXAMINATION? >> NO. >> WE DO NOT WISH TO CROSS-EXAMINE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYBODY FROM THE PUBLIC TO HEAR THIS IM? ANYBODY FROM THE PUBLIC TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? >>CLERK: I HAVE NO ONE REGISTERED GUDES GHOOUDZ ONE IS REGISTERED. ALL RIGHT, -- >>ORLANDO GUDES: NO ONE IS REGISTERED. FINAL REBUTTAL, APPLICANT. >> FRED MILLS, A COUPLE OF POINTS THAT MR. GRANDOFF MADE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS. I BASICALLY EARLIER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE -- I WILL AGAIN REPEAT THAT, THAT THE INITIAL HEARING AS TO WHAT THE PRIOR STRUCTURE WAS. THERE WAS -- TODAY, THERE WAS A DISSSIO THAT WAS 18 FEET. THEN WENT TO 18 AND A HALF. TWO DIFFERENT COMMENTS MADE. THE COMMENT TODAY WAS THAT IT WAS A NONCONFORMING STRUCTURE THAT WAS BUILT IN 1925. THAT WAS NOT -- AND YOU CAN LISTEN TO THE TAPE -- IN THE PRIOR HEARING. THE -- THE BUILDING HAD BEEN REMOVED. SO MY COMMENT EARLIER WAS THAT THE BUILDING WOULD -- WOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED SO THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE AS TO WHAT WAS THERE PRIOR. THE STATEMENT WAS THAT THEY WERE BUILDING BACK WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY THERE THE COMMENT WITH REGARD TO THE PETITION. ALL WE CAN DO IS APPEAL THE PETITION THAT WAS ACTUALLY FILED BY THE HOMEOWNER. A NORTHBOUND THAT PETITION, THEY APPLIED TO GO FROM 15 TO 25 FEET. THERE WAS NO MENTION OF ANY OTHER STRUCTURES. NO OTHER MENTION OF ANY OTHER HEIGHT OF THE STRUCTURE SO WHEN MR. FAIR APPEALED AND PUT THERE WAS A 66%XCEDCE OF THE ORDINANCE OF THE 15. AND THEY FALL WITHIN APPEAR CERTAIN CRITERIA WHICH NEITHER ONE OF THOSE CRITERIA WAS ADDRESSED BY COUNSEL BECAUSE IT WAS NOT -- WHETHER GULFVIEW ESTATES OR PARKVIEW ESTATES. THE PROPERTY WAS STATED TO BE IN GULFVIEW. IT IS NOT A NATIONAL -- OR LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT. THE SAME CODE APPLIES TO BOTH SUBDIVISIONS. DOESN'T MATTER ONE IS ONE AND ONE IS THE OTHER. IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THE MAXIMUM -- EVEN IF IT WAS IN NATIONAL AND LOCAL WOULD HAVE BEEN 22 AND A HALF. SO THE STATEMENT TODAY IT WAS 18 AND A HALF AND THEY SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO HALF OF THAT ARE THE WAY THAT WAS CALCULATED THAT MR. FAIR'S CALCULATIONS IS WRONG IS IN FACT INCORRECT. BECAUSE WE ARE APPEALING THE PETITION AND THE VOTE ON THERE. WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE H HARDSHIPS THAT WAS THE, EVEN THE DISCUSSION AS TO WHAT MR. FAIR WOULD OR WOULD NOT SEE IS IMMATERIAL. THE ONLY MATERIAL POINT WAS WHEN THEY DREW THE AIDIOUS OF IT, MR. FAIR WAS A NOTICED PARTY. HE IS WITHIN IT. HE HAS ESTABLISHED A STANDING. SHOWN TO DEMONSTRATE -- OR TO SHOW MR. FAIR'S STRUCTURES IS ACTUALLY IMMATERIAL TO THE HEARING THAT IS TODAY. THE COMPLIANCE -- SO AS THEY WENT THROUGH THE HARDSHIPS, THERE ARE MANY OTHER THINGS THAT CAN BE EXPLORED. AND SO MR. FAIR MADE THE POINT AT THE HEARING, AND WILL MAKE IT AGAIN TODAY, THAT WITH ENGINEERING AND WITH RED REDESIGNING, YOU CAN TRY TO COMPLY WITH THE CODE THAT APPLIES TO EVERYBODY. OTHERWISE THERE IS NO SENSE OF HAVING THE CODE. SO IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, HAVING STATED I HAVE A TREE TO THIS SIDE AND A POOL TO THIS SIDE. MY ONLY WAY TO DO IT IS TO GO UP, WELL, TO GO UP, WHAT ABOUT YOU JUST COMPLY WITH THE CODE AND YOU DON'T GO UP. WHAT IF YOU DO WHATAS REQUIRED OF MR. FAIR ON HIS PROPERTY TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD, GO BACK TO YOUR ENGINEERS, GO BACK TO YOUR CONTRACTOR, GO BACK TO THE PROCESS AND COMPLY WITH THE TERMS AS ENUMERATED WITHIN THE CODE. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR. WE DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING TODAY THAT STATED THAT THEY WOULD COMPLY WITH THE CODE. IN THE HARDSHIP, IT DOESN'T GET THEM TO THE POINT OF THE 25 FEET THAT WAS REQUESTED, NOR DO THEY QUALIFY AS A NATIONAL OR A LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT. SO, AGAIN, WE WOULD ASK THAT IT BE OVERTURNED AND NOT. THAT'S IT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALL RIGHT. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MOVE TO CLOSE. >>LUIS VIERA: SECOND. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALL IN FAVOR. ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. MR. MIRANDA. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO SAY OTHER THAN I AM HEARING BOTH SIDES. AND I BELIEVE WHEN THIS -- I BELIEVE WHEN THIS HAPPENED WE -- WE EXTENDED TO SOMEONE WHO YEARS AGO TO COMPLAIN WITH 250 FEET. IF I SAW THE MAP, YES HE QUALIFIES FOR THAT, BUT ONLY PARTIAL OF THE PROPERTY OF 200 FEET. I VOTED WAY BACK THAT THIS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTABLE FOR ME AS A COUNCILMEMBER MANY YEARS AGO. THAT IS ALL I AM GOING TO SAY. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IF YOU WERE LOOKING FOR A MOTION TO MOVE THIS ALONG, I WILL BE GLAD TO MAKE ONE. OFHE REQUEST FOR VRB-21-25.RB I DO BELIEVE THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT THE PETITION MEETS THE HARDSHIP CRITERIA 27-80. >> HE SPECIFICALLY -- I WILL WALK THROUGH WHAT -- I WILL WALK THROUGH THESE BRIEFLY JUST SO IT IS A MATTER OF RECORD SINCE IT IS CONTEST $. FIRST ONE SAYS THE ALLEGED H HARDSHIP OF PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES UNIQUE AND SINGULAR WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY AND OF THE YOU CAN HAVETURE AND NOT SUFFERED IN COMMON WITH OTHER PROPERTIES AND SIMILARLY LOCATED. THAT IS USUAL LET MOST CRICAL ISSUE THAT THE VRB ADDRESSES. IN THIS CASE, THE TESTIMONY UNCONTROVERTED THAT THERE IS A GRAND TREE THERE THAT WE ALL KNOW TAKES UP A LOT OF SPACE. AND THE TESTIMONY THAT WE HEARD WAS THAT A GARAGE -- A GARAGE WITH A LITTLE PLAYROOM COULDN'T -- COULD NOT BE LOCATED ON THE FIRST FLOOR, ONE LEVEL AREA ANYWHERE ELSE. THE SECOND ONE -- SECOND PART OF IT IS HARDSHIP OR PRACTICAL DIFFICULTY DOES NOT RULT OM THE ACTIONS OF THE APPLICANT, SELF-CREATED HARDSHIP SHOULD NOT JUSTIFY A VARIANCE. NO EVIDENCE THAT THIS WAS SELF-CREATED. THE EVIDENCE WAS TO THE CONTRARY. THAT THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE WAS AN OLD STRUCTURE THAT NEEDED TO BE TAKEN DOWN BECAUSE IT WAS DILAPIDATETHIRD FACT THEIR VARIANCE WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF OTHERS. MR. GRANDOFF PUT TESTIMONY THAT THE IMMEDIATELY SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS WERE IN FAVOR OF IT, ALTHOUGH MR. FAIR IS NOT. SO THAT IS SORT OF A BALANCING ACT. NUMBER FOUR, I THINK THAT MR. PASTEUR DID ANSWER THAT. BECAUSE HE IS A VERY WELL ESTABLISHED ARCHITECT IN THE COMMUNITY THAT THE CONSTRUCTION PROPOSED IS IN HARMONY AND SERVES THE GENERAL INTENT OF THE CHAPTER IN THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND NUMBER FIVE, ALLOWING THE VARIANCE WILL RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL JUSTICE BEING DONE, ETC. THAT GOES WITH THE EQUITIES OF THE SITUATION. I THINK IN MY OPINION NUMBER 5 CAN BE ANSWERED BY THE FACT THIS IS NOT A BRAND-NEW OPPORTUNITY NOR PROPERTY OWNER. THIS IS REPLACEMENT STRUCTURE. AND THE FACT THAT IT IS AN ADDITIONAL FOUR OR FIVE FEET TALLER, I DON'T THINK THAT IT CREATES ANY SUBSTANTIAL INJUSTICE TO ANYBODY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. MANY OF THE HOMES IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD HAVE TWO-CAR GARAGES WITH PLAYROOMS AND OFFICES ABOVE THEM. I DON'T THINK THAT IS UNUSUAL FOR THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AND I THINK THEY MEET AL FIVE OF THE CRITERIA. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SECOND. >>ORLANDO GUDES: SECOND BY MR. MIRANDA. ROLL CALL VOTE. >>BILL CARLSON: YES. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES. >>LUIS VIERA: YES. >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES. >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES. >>CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU. GENTLEMEN, A FEW DECISIONS TO MAKE VERY QUICKLY. >> THANK YOU, SIR. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED ITEM NUMBER 95 HAS 10 TO 12 SPEAKERS. SPA THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I WILL ASK THAT WE HOLD OFF ON AT. WE WILL NOT GET TO 12 SPEAKERS AND APPLICANTS IN OPPOSITION. ITEM NUMBER 96 WILL NOT BE HEARD TODAY. SO MAKE A MOTION TO MOVE THAT. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MOVE TO STRIKE THAT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER MOVED IT AND MR. MANISCALCO SECONDED. MOTION CARRIED. THREE STAFF REPORTS BECAUSE WE RELEASED FOLKS ALREADY BECAUSE WE HAVE SUFFICIENT. I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THE THREE STAFF REPORTS AND GET THEM OUT OF THE WAY BY 12:15 OR 12:30 AND HANDLE THE HEARINGS WITH THE MULTIPLE OF PEOPLE ON 95. MR. SHELBY, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>MARTIN SHELBY: FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE SCHEDULED FOR 10:30 MEETING. THE QUESTION IS WHAT TIME DO YOU BELIEVE THE COUNCIL WILL RECONVENE TO PLAN ACCORDINGLY. >>ORLANDO GUDES: LOOKING AT THE SCHEDULE. I BELIEVE I CAN GET THESE THREE OR FOUR STAFF ITEMS BY 12:30 AND RECONVENE AT 1:30, POSSIBLY 2:00. >>MARTIN SHELBY: BUT THE THING IS, THE QUESTION IS -- I AM JUST CONCERNED -- >>ORLANDO GUDES: 2:00, SIR. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIRMAN, I APOLOGIZE. IAM USUALLY GOOD AS LONG AS YOU WANT ME I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT NOON. POYV BOLT AT -- >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHY DON'T WE BREAK FOR LUNCH UNTIL 1:15 AND COME BACK WITH THE STAFF REPORTS. I DON'T THINK THEY WILL TAKE ANY MORE THAN 15 MINUTES AND GO INTO THE ITEM NUMBER 95 AND IT WOULD ACCOMMODATE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THAT IS COUNCIL'S PRESSURE. >ORLANDO GUDES: BREAK NOW AND COME BACK AT 1:15? >>BILL CARLSON: MR. CHAIR, COULD WE START WITH THE ONE WITH THE PEOPLE WAITING AT 1 1:15. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALL RIGHT. THAT IS COUNCIL'S PRESSURE. I USUALLY LIKE TO GET STAFF OUT OF THE WAY, BUT GET IT CRACKING THIS TIME. AND WE WILL BRING THEM UP FIRST. >>MARTIN SHELBY: SO IT IS CLEAR FOR THE PEOPLE ON THE SECOND FLOOR. >>ORLANDO GUDES: 1:15. >>MARTIN SHELBY: COUNCIL WILL TAKE A LUNCH RECESS RIGHT NOW AND RECONVENE WITH NUMBER 95 AT 1:15. >>ORLANDO GUDES: 1:15. THANK YOU.
