THE PROPERTY OWNER, RICHMAN HILLSBOROUGH APARTMENTS, SUBMITTED TO THE TAMPA REQUESTING DESIGNATION OF THE PROPERTY AS BROWNFIELD AREA AND THAT APPLICATION CONTINUES TO BE SUPPORTED BY SUCCESSOR IN INTEREST, RICHMAN EAST TAMPA MIXED INCOME LLC. THE PROPERTY OWNER PLANS TO REHABILITATE AND REDEVELOP THE SITE INTO 356 AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS AVAILABLE TO HOUSEHOLDS EARNING 120% OR LESS OF THE AREA MEDIAN INCOME.

ITEM NUMBER 3. >>McLANE EVANS: ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY. THIS IS THE FIRST OF TWO SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR PROPOSED BROWNFIELD AREA DESIGNATION OF PROPERTIES GENERALLY LOCATED AT 2606 EAST 10th AVENUE. CITY OF TAMPA IS REQUESTING DESIGNATION OF THESE PROPERTIES AS BROWNFIELD AREA TO ASSIST IN THE ASSESSMENT AND REMEDIATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS THAT MAY EXIST ON THE PROPERTY. DETAILS OF THE DESIGNATION OUTLINED IN A DOCUMENT ENTITLED STAFF REPORT ON EAST YBOR DEVELOPMENT AREA PROPOSED BROWNFIELD AREA DESIGNATION WHICH IS AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC REVIEW AT THE CITY'S CLERK WEBSITE AND OnBase. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING, WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER 5, 2024 AT 10:30 A.M. OR SOON THEREAFTER AS POSSIBLE, COUNCIL WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PASS A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING EAST YBOR DEVELOPMENT AREA AS A BROWNFIELD AREA. THIS EVENING NO ACTION IS REQUIRED BUT FOR TAKING PUBLIC COMMENT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? YES. COME ON UP, SIR. ITEM NUMBER 3. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> HELLO. MY NAME IS MATTHEW RODDICK. I HAVE A PROPERTY ADJACENT TO THE EAST YBOR IN ITEM NUMBER 3 HERE. I ASSUME NO ACTION WILL BE TAKEN UNTIL AFTER THE SECOND HEARING, IS THAT CORRECT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR, THAT'S CORRECT. >> SORRY I WASN'T COMPLETELY PREPARED FOR TONIGHT. BECAUSE WHEN I WENT TO PRINT OUT THE INFORMATION ON THIS THING, THIS IS WHAT I WAS GETTING. I WAS GETTING INCOMPLETE, LIKE GETTING HALF A PAGE AND EXTREMELY SMALL PRINT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: LET'S GET IT UP ON THE OVERHEAD. >> I WAS HAVING TO USE MY MAGNIFYING GLASS AND MY READING GLASSES TO TRY TO READ THIS THING. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEHOW I COULD POSSIBLY GET A PRINTED COPY OF THIS REPORT. IS THAT POSSIBLE, McLANE? ALSO, I LOOKED UP THE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE, AND I COULD NOT FIND ANY EVIDENCE OF ANY COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY. FROM WHAT I COULD GATHER, I GOT A FEW TIDBITS OF INFORMATION ABOUT SAID POSSIBLE OLD OIL PUMP HOUSE. AND THEN ALSO TESTING WAS NOT INTENDED TO PROVIDE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TARGET ANALYSIS OR SERVE AS A SITE ASSESSMENT. AND LOW LEVELS OF ALL ITEMS TESTED FOR SINGLE ROUND OF SITE ANALYSIS IS NOT ADEQUATE AND MAY NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT DATA. I DO BELIEVE THEY MAY HAVE DONE A LIMITED PHASE TWO ANALYSIS, BUT I COULDN'T GET ALL THE DETAILS FROM THIS HALF A PAGE AND SMALL PRINT THAT I HAVE HERE. ALL I'M REQUESTING IS I'LL BE HAPPY TO ATTEND THE SECOND MEETING AND HOPEFULLY I CAN GET A BETTER PRINTED COPY AND UNDERSTAND AND I'LL BE MORE PREPARED FOR NEXT MEETING. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN PROVIDE THE GENTLEMAN? >>McLANE EVANS: ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE REPORT ITSELF FROM THE STAFF REPORT? >> I'M NOT SURE WHERE THE -- IT IS THE ONE YOU E-MAILED ME. AND I DIDN'T GET AROUND TO OPENING IT UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE TO DO SOMETHING, CONTACT YOU BACK. >>McLANE EVANS: I BELIEVE HE'S SPEAKING ABOUT A PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST THAT I RESPONDED TO AT HIS REQUEST, WHICH IS THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PAGES OF A STUDY THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER DID ON THEIR SITE. MY CONCERN IS TO PRINT SOMETHING OF THAT VOLUME FOR ONE INDIVIDUAL OF THE PUBLIC, WE MAY HAVE TO DO THAT FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO YOUR BEST TO REVIEW IT IN A DIGITAL FORMAT. >> OKAY. I'LL TRY ONE MORE TIME AND THEN I'LL CONTACT YOU BACK WITH E-MAIL IF I CAN'T GET IT DONE. IS THAT OKAY? >>McLANE EVANS: CERTAINLY. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY ELSE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 3? NO. ANYTHING ELSE -- DO WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING OR LEAVE IT OPEN? >>McLANE EVANS: YOU CAN CLOSE TODAY. THE SECOND ONE IS IT'S ONLY STAND-ALONE HEARING. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN WITH THE MOTION TO CLOSE. SECOND FROM MIRANDA. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.% ANY OPPOSED? >>MARTIN SHELBY: IS THAT GOING TO BE ADVERTISED? COULD BE ANNOUNCED. >>THE CLERK: SECOND PUBLIC HEARING TO BE HEARD ON DECEMBER 5, 2024, AT 10:30 A.M. IN OLD CITY HALL, 315 EAST KENNEDY BOULEVARD, THIRD FLOOR, TAMPA, FLORIDA 33602. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU. ITEM NUMBER 4. >>McLANE EVANS: GOOD EVENING. McLANE EVANS, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY. ITEM NUMBER 4 IS A BROWNFIELD DESIGNATION. THIS IS THE FIRST OF TWO SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR PROPOSED BROWNFIELD AREA DESIGNATION OF A PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED AT 810 CHANNELSIDE DRIVE. CITY IS REQUESTING DESIGNATION OF THIS PROPERTY AS A BROWNFIELD AREA TO ASSIST IN ITS ASSESSMENT OR REMEDIATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS THAT MAY EXIST ON THE PROPERTY. DETAILS OF THE DESIGNATION HAVE BEEN OUTLINED IN A DOCUMENT ENTITLED STAFF REPORT CHANNELSIDE DRIVE PARK PROPOSED BROWNFIELD AREA DESIGNATION WHICH IS AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC REVIEW IN THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE AND IN OnBase. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING, WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER 5, 2024, AT 10:30 A.M.

THIS IS A CITY-OWNED PROPERTY PLANNED TO BE MADE INTO A PARK. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY QUESTIONS? ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 4? MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES MA'AM. >>THE CLERK: SECOND PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE HEARD ON DECEMBER 5, 2024, AT 10:30 A.M. IN OLD CITY HALL, CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS, 315 EAST KENNEDY BOULEVARD TAMPA FLORIDA 33602. THANK YOU. ITEM NUMBER 5. >> GOOD EVENING. EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. THIS IS TA/CPA 24-08 LOCATED AT 3901 AND 3905 NORTH OLA AVENUE AND 3904 NORTH DARTMOUTH AVENUE. THIS IS A PRIVATELY INITIATED SMALL-SCALE AMENDMENT. IT IS APPROXIMATELY 0.51 ACRES. AND THE REQUEST IS TO GO FROM RESIDENTIAL 10 TO RESIDENTIAL 20. THIS IS A GENERAL LOCATION ON THE MAP OF THE SITE. IT IS LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT, THE TAMPA HEIGHTS URBAN VILLAGE AND THE TAMPA HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS IS AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE. IT IS OUTLINED HERE IN PINK. AND YOU CAN SEE SURROUNDED BY SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL WITH SCATTERED NONCONFORMING DUPLEXES THAT ARE MOSTLY LOCATED ALONG NORTH TAMPA STREET. ALONG DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. BOULEVARD, WHICH IS FURTHER NORTH TO THE SUBJECT SITE AND ALONG FLORIDA AVENUE WHICH IS -- SORRY, NORTH TAMPA STREET, EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE IS A MIX OF COMMERCIAL USES WITH SOME RESIDENTIAL USES. THIS IS LOOKING EAST ON NORTH DARTMOUTH AVENUE. AND THE SUBJECT SITE IS BEHIND THE PHOTOGRAPHER. THIS IS LOOKING NORTH ON NORTH DARTMOUTH AVENUE. SUBJECT SITE IS ON THE LEFT. THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH ON WEST VIRGINIA AVENUE. THE SITE IS OUT OF FRAME BEHIND THE PHOTOGRAPHER. THIS IS LOOKING WEST ON NORTH OLA AVENUE AT THE SITE ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE SUBJECT SITE. THIS IS LOOKING AT THE SUBJECT SITE ON THE CORNER OF NORTH OLA AVENUE AND WEST VIRGINIA. AND THIS IS LOOKING AT THE SUBJECT SITE, VACANT LOT ON THE LEFT AND ADJACENT SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ON THE RIGHT. THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE. THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP. OUTLINED HERE IN BLACK AND REPRESENTED WITH THE ORANGISH COLOR WHICH IS THE RESIDENTIAL 10 DESIGNATION WHICH IS TO THE NORTH, EAST, SOUTH AND WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE. FURTHER NORTH ALONG MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. BOULEVARD IS THE CMU 35 DESIGNATION IN THE PINK COLOR AND CC-35 DESIGNATION IN THE RED. AND FURTHER SOUTHWEST HERE IN THE R/OS DESIGNATION IS CALVIN TAYLOR PARK AND WOODLAWN CEMETERY. THIS IS THE PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE MAP. YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED HERE REPRESENTED WITH THE RESIDENTIAL 20 DESIGNATION. THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF THE SITE WOULD ALLOW HIGHER RESIDENTIAL DENSITY AND GREATER COMMERCIAL INTENSITY. UNDER THE CURRENT DESIGNATION OF RESIDENTIAL 20, THE SITE CAN BE CONSIDERED FOR FIVE DWELLING UNITS OR SLIGHTLY OVER 7,700 SQUARE FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL USES IF LOCATIONAL CRITERIA IS MET. UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL 20 DESIGNATION, THE SITE COULD BE CONSIDERED FOR 10 DWELLING UNITS OR SLIGHTLY OVER 11,000 SQUARE FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL USES IF LOCATIONAL CRITERIA IS MET. THIS WENT OUT FOR AGENCY REVIEW. CITY OF TAMPA DOES OBJECT TO THE REQUEST AND THEY ARE IN CHAMBERS IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS? >>EMILY PHELAN: I HAVE ANOTHER SLIDE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I'M SORRY. WE'VE BEEN HERE SINCE 9:00 JUST CASE AFTER CASE AFTER CASE. SORRY. >>EMILY PHELAN: IT'S ALL GOOD. THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOUND THE REQUEST INCONSISTENT WITH TWO MAIN AREAS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. FIRST, THERE ARE SEVERAL POLICIES DEALING WITH OVERALL COMPATIBILITY OF DEVELOPMENT WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN. STAFF FOUND THAT THOUGH THERE ARE SOME VERY SCATTERED DUPLEXES WITHIN THE AREA, MANY OF THESE ARE NONCONFORMING AND PREDATE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRANSITIONS IN DENSITY, THEY FOUND THAT THE INTRODUCTION OF THE R-20 COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY R-10 WOULD NOT FURTHER LAND USE POLICIES 2.1.1, 9.6.1, 9.6.3, 9.6.4 AND NEIGHBORHOOD POLICY 1.3.10. ADDITIONALLY, REQUEST ALSO FOUND INCONSISTENT WITH NEIGHBORHOOD POLICY 1.1.2, WHICH SEEKS TO PROVIDE FOR LOGICAL DENSITY TRANSITIONS IN ESTABLISHED SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED NEIGHBORHOODS AND THAT THE REQUEST FOR R-20 IN THIS LOCATION WOULD NOT PROVIDE FOR THE LOGICAL TRANSITION IN DENSITY. WITH THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDS THAT THE PROPOSED MAP AMENDMENT BE FOUND INCONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. CAN YOU PUT THE POSSIBLE CHANGE MAP UP AGAIN? WHERE THE ORANGE GOES TO BROWN. I'M CURIOUS WHY THEY SAY -- WHILE THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOUND IT NOT CONSISTENT, BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ANY SURROUNDING WHEN LITERALLY A BLOCK AWAY YOU HAVE MORE RESIDENTIAL 20, WHICH IS THE ONLY RESIDENTIAL 20 IN THE AREA. >>EMILY PHELAN: RIGHT. >>LYNN HURTAK: I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD SPEAK TO THAT. >>EMILY PHELAN: THIS IS ALSO ON A CORRIDOR THAT IS CLOSER TO A HIGHER DENSITY, AND THAT WOULD PROVIDE A LOGICAL TRANSITION FROM THE C, C 35 TO THE R-20 AND TO THE DETACHED SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD. SO THAT PROVIDED THAT LOGICAL TRANSITION TO THAT. AND WITHIN THE R-20 HERE, ARE WHERE SOME DUPLEXES ARE EXISTING. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. DO WE HAVE AN APPLICANT FOR THIS ITEM? >> YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT. COME ON UP, SIR. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS MATT SINK. ADDRESS IS 410 WEST PARK AVENUE. I DO THINK MY SLIDES ARE LOADED SOMEWHERE ON HERE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THEY'LL COME UP IN JUST A SECOND. >> IN THE MEANTIME, I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE YOUR PACKETS. MAKE IT A LITTLE EASIER FOR YOU IN CASE IT DOESN'T SHOW UP. WE'RE GOOD. WE'RE GOING TODAY. VERY COOL. MY NAME IS MATT SINK. YOU HAVE SEEN ME IN THE PAST IN THIS SAME ROOM. I'M HERE TODAY LUCKILY TO PRESENT CPA 24-08. THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO PROVIDE OBTAINABLE, COMPATIBLE, MISSING MIDDLE OPTIONS IN TAMPA HEIGHTS, WHICH IS SOMETHING I KNOW WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR YEARS ALREADY. LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON IT, I'VE BEEN A TAMPA HEIGHTS RESIDENT FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER. I'M ALSO A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER AND MY OFFICE IS LITERALLY BLOCKS AWAY FROM THIS PROJECT. BECAUSE I SPEND SO MUCH TIME IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IN COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, I'VE BECOME KIND OF AN EXPERT ON WHAT NEIGHBORS ARE LOOKING FOR, WHAT THIS AREA IS TRYING TO ACHIEVE LONG TERM. AND I HAVE A PROVEN RECORD OF MAINTAINING AND PRESERVING COHESIVE COMMUNITIES. THERE IS A PHOTO RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE, WHICH IS ONE OF THE HOUSES I BUILT. YOU WOULD BE HARD-PRESSED TO PICK IT OUT BETWEEN THE TWO 1930s BUNGALOWS ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT-HAND SIDE. BECAUSE MY COMMITMENT TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS WE MAKE SURE THINGS ARE CONSISTENT AND FEELS LIKE TAMPA HEIGHTS. ADDITIONALLY, YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN ME IN THE CAPACITY OF TAMPA CIVIC HEIGHTS ASSOCIATION. I'M ALSO ON THE CAC FOR THE TPO AND I'M THE LAND USE COMMITTEE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS WELL. IN THOSE CAPACITIES, I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF MEETING NEIGHBORS AND ALSO LOSING NEIGHBORS WHO ARE GETTING PRICED OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE COMMUNITY IS GREAT, WHICH IS WE'RE GETTING MORE RENTAL UNITS, MORE HIGHER DENSITY APARTMENTS, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A PATH FOR OWNERSHIP. WE KNOW THAT OWNERSHIP IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR LONG-TERM FAMILY WEALTH AND TRANSFERRING OF WEALTH, BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANY GOOD OPTIONS FOR THAT GOING ON RIGHT NOW. SO MY SOLUTION WITH THIS IS TO LOOK FOR MISSING MIDDLE OPTIONS. YOU ARE SUPER AWARE THAT TAMPA HEIGHTS IS SPECIAL. IT'S REALLY ECLECTIC. IT HAS FAMILIES THAT ARE STRUGGLING TO STAY THERE. AND WE'RE TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION AND COME TO YOU GUYS WITH SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE MEANINGFUL THAN COMPLAINING, RIGHT? YOU GUYS HEAR ABOUT HOUSING PROBLEMS, BUT HOW CAN ME AS A NEIGHBOR HELP THAT SOLUTION? SO THE MISSING MIDDLE IS A GREAT SOLUTION. IN ORDER FOR THAT TO HAPPEN R-20 IS NECESSARY BECAUSE R-10 WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO GET THE DENSITY TO DO DUPLEXES. RIGHT NOW, THE WAY IT'S SET IS THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO BUILD DUPLEXES ON R-10. JUST ISN'T POSSIBLE. SOME OF THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE LITTLE HUNG UP ON ARE DESIGN DETAILS DURING THE REZONING I INTENTIONALLY AM NOT DOING THE REZONING AND THE COMP PLAN AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE OF THE REQUEST OF THIS COUNCIL BEFORE, WHICH IS LIKE DO THEM SEPARATELY. IT DOES GET CONFUSING. I'VE ALSO HAD GREAT SUPPORT FROM IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORS. THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF WHY TAMPA HEIGHTS IS TAMPA HEIGHTS. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE LEE'S GROCERY, THE BEST PLACE FOR BEER, WINGS, SALAD IN THE MIDDLE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD. NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN, RIGHT? WE HAVE OUR CIVIC ASSOCIATION IN A REFURBISHED CHURCH. WE HAVE DUPLEXES, QUADPLEXES, TRIPLEXES APLEXES LIKE YOU NAME IT, TAMPA HEIGHTS HAS IT ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT'S ALSO DRIVEN THE DIVERSITY AND THE FUN WALK YOU CAN HAVE IN TAMPA HEIGHTS BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT. HERE IS A SLIDE THAT IS SUPER IMPORTANT, WHICH IS FAMILIES ARE STRUGGLING. THE COST OF HOUSING IS GOING UP, BUT OUR INCOMES ARE NOT. SO A KEY PILLAR OF THE AMERICAN DREAM IS OWNING A HOME BUT INCREASINGLY IT'S OUT OF REACH OF PEOPLE. WHAT DO WE DO AND WHAT POLICIES CAN WE HAVE TO FIX THAT PROBLEM? I FEEL LIKE THE MISSING MIDDLE IS A GREAT SOLUTION FOR THAT. WHAT IT'S GOING TO PROVIDE IS SMALLER SCALE TOWNHOMES AND MULTIFAMILY UNITS THAT WILL ACTUALLY BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. MISSING MIDDLE ALSO DOES A LOT OF THINGS FOR TAMPA BECAUSE IT ADDRESSES THE HOUSING SHORTAGE THAT WE HEAR ABOUT IN EVERY MEETING WE HAVE BUT ALSO REDUCES URBAN SPRAWL. IT INCREASES DENSITY TO DRIVE OUR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION INITIATIVES, SO WE'RE GETTING THOSE CLOSER TO THE CITY. IT'S ACTUALLY CONSISTENT WITH THE CHARACTER OF TAMPA HEIGHTS. RIGHT NOW, R-10 DOES NOT ALLOW FOR MISSING MIDDLE. ON THE FIVE HISTORIC LOTS THAT WE HAVE, WE COULD ACTUALLY BUILD FIVE HOMES. BUT THE FUN THING ABOUT THAT IS WE COULD BUILD 4,000-SQUARE-FOOT SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. THE BIG MANSION, RIGHT? THE 900 TO $1.2 MILLION HOUSES THAT WE'RE SEEING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. IF WE GO TO R-20, WE CAN HAVE A SIMILAR, ACTUALLY SMALLER FOOTPRINT AND GET TWO UNITS IN THE FORM OF A DUPLEX. IF THIS REQUEST IS APPROVED, A REZONING OTHER PUBLIC HEARINGS WILL BE REQUIRED BECAUSE I WANT TO COMPLY WITH THE TAMPA HEIGHTS OVERLAY AND GET THE DESIGN RIGHT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WHAT'S KIND OF INTERESTING ABOUT THIS, AND IT WASN'T SHOWN ON THE OTHER MAPS, IS TRANSIION IN DENSITY. ON THE EAST SIDE OF FLORIDA AVENUE, THEY WERE GIVEN THE PRIVILEGE TO TRANSITION FROM COMMERCIAL TO R-10, FROM R-20 TO R-10 RIGHT. FOR SOME REASON THAT STOPPED ON THE WEST SIDE OF TAMPA STREET AND FLORIDA. WE DON'T KNOW WHY. WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO SAY IS ESSENTIALLY THERE IS NO TRANSITION BECAUSE IT WASN'T GIVEN TO THIS AREA, AND IT'S INCONSISTENT FOR THE ACTUAL NEIGHBORHOOD, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. THE OTHER THING THAT I THINK IS SUPER IMPORTANT IS THAT IT DOESN'T SHOW UP WELL ON THE MAP, BUT TAMPA STREET IS AN ARTERIAL ROAD. PEOPLE ARE GOING 60 MILES AN HOUR. IT FEELS LIKE A HIGHWAY SOMETIMES RIGHT? BUT ON THE MAP, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S JUST A SMALL COLLECTOR STREET, BUT IT'S NOT. SO IN LOGICAL SENSE, WE WOULD BE GOING FROM COMMERCIAL TO R-20 TO R-10 AND STEPPING DOWN DENSITY JUST ON THIS SIDE OF IT, LIKE IT'S GIVEN ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE. THE THING TO TAKE NOTICE OF, THESE LITTLE STARS. THESE LITTLE STARS ARE LEGAL NONCONFORMING DUPLEXES AND TRIPLEXES THAT ALREADY EXIST IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY ARE ALREADY THERE. WE ALREADY HAVE THAT. SO KIND OF THE WAY I'M LOOKING AT THAT, YOU LOOK ON THE RIGHT-HAND PHOTO, THIS IS THE AREA THAT I THINK LOGICALLY WOULD MAKE SENSE TO HAVE R-20 DENSITY VERSUS THE R-10. COMPATIBILITY ON PAPER VERSUS COMPATIBILITY IN REAL LIFE, LIKE, THIS IS A HUGE THING FOR US. TAMPA HEIGHTS IS NOT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL COMMUNITY, LIKE WE'RE DIVERSE, SUPER ECLECTIC, BUT ALSO THE COMMUNITY IS OVER A HUNDRED YEARS OLD, FAR BEFORE THEY HAD PLANNING, ZONING, ANY OF THOSE THINGS EXISTED. SO THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP KIND O IGNORES THESE LEGAL NONCONFORMINGS THAT GIVE OUR COMMUNITY THE STYLE AND UNIQUENESS THAT I PERSONALLY LOVE. SO EXAMPLES OF LEGAL NONCONFORMING JUST IN A COUPLE OF BLOCKS I FOUND 8. IF YOU LOOK ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE, THERE'S OVER 20. ONE OF THOSE IS A HOSTEL WITH 12 ROOMS. TO SAY IN THIS AREA IT'S NOT COMPATIBLE OR NOT CONSISTENT, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S NECESSARILY TRUE. IT'S JUST NOT CONSISTENT ON PAPER. SO HERE IS AN EXAMPLE -- HERE ARE EXAMPLES A COUPLE OF BLOCKS. THIS IS A FOURPLEX, A TRIPLEX, ANOTHER FOURPLEX, TRIPLEX, APLEX UP THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE. DUPLEX, ANOTHER QUAD. THESE ARE AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPTIONS THAT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD NEEDS AND RELIED ON FOREVER. HERE IS GRAHAM'S PLACE. IT IS A 12 ROOM HOSTEL IN THE MIDDLE. THIS IS ON THE SAME STREET. THIS IS ON OLA. IT IS IN THE SAME LOCATION. BUT THESE ARE ALL REALLY GOOD EXAMPLES OF HOW DIVERSE OUR NEIGHBORHOODS ARE. THESE ALREADY EXIST. BASICALLY, WE HAD MISSING MIDDLE BEFORE IT WAS TRENDING. MISSING MIDDLE EXISTED FOR A LONG TIME IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF NEW MISSING MIDDLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE ONE ON THE LEFT IS HIGHLAND. THAT'S ABOUT 15 BLOCKS SOUTH. BUT THAT'S CLOSER TO COLUMBUS AND THEY GIVE THEM R-20 DOWN THERE. WE DON'T HAVE R-10 BY MARTIN LUTHER KING, WHICH I DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND BASED ON TRAFFIC PATTERNS. AND THEN THE ONE ON THE RIGHT IS ACTUALLY ON COLUMBUS, AND THAT IS A DUPLEX IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF NEW CONSTRUCTION THAT WOULD BE MISSING MIDDLE THAT I FIND RELATIVELY CONSISTENT WITH THIS PROJECT ARE THESE TWO. I INCLUDED A WHOLE BUNCH OF DIFFERENT LAND USE CODES IN HERE FOR YOU GUYS. I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THEM BECAUSE I KNOW YOU GUYS KNOW THEM, BUT THERE ARE REALLY GOOD ONES TALKING ABOUT HOW THIS WORKS AND HOW WE CAN SUPPORT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WITH WHAT IT ALREADY IS, A COOL, ECLECTIC NEIGHBORHOOD. ONE THING THAT I AM VERY THANKFUL FOR IS I HAD THE ABILITY TO WORK WITH THIS COUNCIL AND STAFF AND BRIAN SEEL FOR THE TAMPA HEIGHTS OVERLAY DISTRICT. AND BASICALLY THE TAMPA HEIGHTS OVERLAY DISTRICT WAS DESIGNED TO CREATE MORE EQUITABLE, DIVERSE, AND SUSTAINABLE LIVING ENVIRONMENTS THAT CAN BETTER ACCOMMODATE THE NEEDS OF OUR RESIDENTS. THIS WAS FOUND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMP PLAN AND ADOPTED IN 2023. THIS IS THE NEXT STEP. SO ONCE WE GET COMP PLAN AMENDED, I'M BACK IN FRONT WORKING ON DESIGN FOR THE REZONING. ADDITIONALLY, I REACHED OUT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I'M ALWAYS AROUND SO I ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT I'M INCLUDING PEOPLE IN THESE CONVERSATIONS. THE LAND USE COMMITTEE FOR THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION AND THE TAMPA HEIGHTS CIVIC ASSOCIATION BOARD, YOU'LL SEE IT IN THE BULLET, PROVIDED UNANIMOUS APPROVAL FOR THIS PROJECT. THE FUN THING IS, SO DID THE NEIGHBORS. EVERY CHECK BOX YOU'LL SEE IN YELLOW, WHICH IS THE PROPOSED SITE. THESE ARE ALL THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORS THAT ARE LIKE GREAT, LIKE, LET'S DO THIS. THAT HAVE NO OBJECTION TO THE PROJECT. SO IN CLOSING, I BELIEVE THAT R-20 IS THE APPROPRIATE TRANSITION IN THIS LOCATION. THE R-20 DOES NOT SET A PRECEDENT. COMP PLANS, AS YOU GUYS KNOW, ARE UNIQUE AND DONE CASE BY CASE. JUST BECAUSE THIS GOES DOESN'T MEAN THE NEXT ONE MAKES SENSE. I ALSO DON'T HAVE ANY INTENTION OF SEEKING ANY PARKING WAIVERS. AND ANY CONCERNS ABOUT NOISE OR TRAFFIC OR PARKING, THAT'S GOING TO BE HANDLED THROUGH THE ZONING PART OF THIS. GO BACK THROUGH ZONING, WE CAN HANDLE ALL THOSE CONCERNS WITH NEIGHBORS. DO I BELIEVE THAT THE R-20 IS -- I DO BELIEVE R-20 IS CONSISTENT AND VALUES WILL NOT BE HURT BY THIS. I AM PERSONALLY COMMITTED TO PHYSICAL COMPATIBILITY THROUGH THE MASSING AND ARCHITECTURAL DETAIL ON THIS PROJECT. SO IN FINAL PHASE FOR YOU, MY REQUEST TODAY IS THAT WE FIND CPA 24-08 CONSISTENT WITH THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BASED ON THE FOLLOWING POLICIES. THANK YOU GUYS. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TONIGHT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? IS ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? COME ON UP ONE BY ONE. WE'LL TAKE YOU ONE AT A TIME. JUST PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. FEEL FREE TO COME ON UP. YES MA'AM. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> MY NAME IS TINA DALLAS. I LIVE WITHIN 250 FEET OF THE PROPERTY. HELLO EVERYONE, BY THE WAY. SORRY. I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS. I LIVE WITHIN 250 FEET OF THE PROPERTY. MATT HAS NEVER COME TO ME OR THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT ALSO LIVE IN THE AREA. WE DO OBJECT TO THIS PROPOSAL. HIS PLAN IS TO BUILD DUPLEXES. MY QUESTION IS, RESIDENTIAL 10 SAYS LIMITED TOWNHOMES AND DUPLEXES. SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE NEEDS THIS PROPOSAL. THE OTHER THING IS, THIS OPENS US UP TO HAVE CONDOMINIUMS AND WHAT VALUE DOES THAT BRING TO OUR SINGLE-FAMILY HOME AREA. WITHIN BLOCKS OF MY PARTICULAR HOUSE, IT'S MOSTLY SINGLE HOMES, AND THAT'S WHY, YOU KNOW, I PURCHASED AND MOVED TO THE AREA. SORRY. I HAVE A LOT OF POINTS. I FEEL THAT THIS PROPOSAL THREATENS THE CHARACTER OF THE COMMUNITY. I LIVE IN A 1916 BUNGALOW. AND I MOVED HERE FOR THE CHARACTER OF THIS COMMUNITY. ALSO, I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE DRAINAGE AS WELL. THE INFRASTRUCTURE, THE DRAINAGE AND THAT TYPE OF THING. THIS JUST SETS A PRECEDENT TO CAUSE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD TO BECOME A LOT MORE DENSE AND POSSIBLY HAVE CONDOMINIUMS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AS WELL. IT JUST DOESN'T FIT THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES SIR. COME ON UP. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> MY NAME IS MATT COHEN. 207 WEST VIRGINIA. SAW MY HOUSE EARLIER. I LIVE DIRECTLY ACROSS TO THE EAST. I THINK WHEN YOU GET NEW NEIGHBORS, IT'S KIND OF A ROLL OF THE DICE. I'D RATHER ROLL IT ONCE THAN WITH HOWEVER MANY UNITS HE PLANS ON BUILDING. I ALSO HEARD COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK ASK ABOUT THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE ALREADY ZONED FOR R-20. I KNOW THAT THE ONES ALONG VIRGINIA ARE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, EVEN IF THEY ARE CURRENTLY ZONED AT R-20. I DON'T THINK A LOT OF THOSE LOOK LIKE R-20 PROPERTIES AT THE MOMENT. I DON'T HAVE PICTURES. BUT I KNOW THE ONES THAT ARE ON VIRGINIA. THAT IS THE CASE. MR. SINK MENTIONED ALSO THAT PEOPLE FLY THROUGH THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. IT'S CONSTANTLY USED AS CUT-THRU. PEOPLE GET OFF OF MLK AND STUFF LIKE THAT. THIS JUST FURTHER CONGESTS IT. WITHIN A YEAR OR TWO, THE POWER POLE ON THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION WAS KNOCKED OVER DURING AN ACCIDENT. I DON'T SEE WHY WE NEED MORE CARS ON THE STREET. ON OUR BLOCK, THREE UNDER ONE. I WOULD RATHER NOT FURTHER PUT THEM AT RISK. THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY. THANKS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES MA'AM. COME ON UP. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> HELLO. DANA LASERROUS. I BIKED ALL THE WAY HERE FROM MY HOUSE BECAUSE I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT PROVIDING MORE HOUSING FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA AND ALSO BECAUSE IT IS A BEAUTIFUL DAY. I'M HONESTLY REALLY SURPRISED TO SEE THAT THE CITY STAFF FOUND IT INCONSISTENT WHEN IT'S A BLOCK AWAY FROM SO MANY THINGS, FROM ALREADY LIKE UPZONED AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES. THIS ZONING DESIGNATION THAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR IS ONE JUMP UP FROM THE ONE THAT IS EXISTING, ONE NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR UP, IF YOU WILL. THIS LOCATION IS LESS THAN A MILE FROM A GROCERY STORE. THERE ARE SEVERAL SCHOOLS IN LESS THAN A MILE RADIUS. I BIKED HERE TONIGHT FROM A LOCATION, MY HOUSE IS ABOUT THE SAME DISTANCE AS THIS PROPOSED PROPERTY. IT'S ALSO RIGHT NEXT TO THE ROUTE 1 BUS LINE, WHICH IS SOON TO BE FARE FREE. THIS IS A GREAT SPACE FOR US BE PROVIDING MORE HOUSING. I'M SURE YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN THE NUMBERS ABOUT HOW MUCH MORE HOUSING WE REALLY NEED IN TAMPA. A FRIEND OF MINE, I WAS TALKING TO LITERALLY TODAY, WAS TELLING ME HOW THE YOUTH THAT GO TO TAMPA HEIGHTS JUNIOR CIVIC ASSOCIATION FOR THEIR AFTER-SCHOOL CARE, THAT SHE'S WORKED WITH OVER THE YEARS HAVE ALL MOVED OUT. THERE'S BEEN A 100% DISPLACEMENT RATE OF THOSE UNDERPRIVILEGED FAMILIES IN TAMPA HEIGHTS. SO I APPLAUD THE SMALL-SCALE DEVELOPER FOR TAKING A RISK TO GIVE TAMPA MORE HOUSING. SMALL-SCALE DEVELOPMENT ISN'T EASY. IT MIGHT BE THE HARDEST KIND OF DEVELOPMENT TO ACCOMPLISH BECAUSE OF ALL THE LITTLE RULES LIKE SETBACKS AND BUFFERS AND PARKING THAT GET IN THE WAY. THIS IS ONLY FIVE ADDITIONAL UNITS. THAT'S NOT THAT MUCH PARKING. LIKE I SAID, THEY CAN WALK, THEY CAN BIKE. AND SO IT'S SMALL-SCALE DEVELOPMENT REALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE. IT REALLY DOES PROVIDE THAT MISSING MIDDLE HOUSING THAT WE DESPERATELY NEED IN TAMPA. ONE THING THAT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO THINK ABOUT IS THAT, YES, GENTRIFICATION IS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM BUT EXCLUSION THROUGH SINGLE-FAMILY ONLY ZONING IN MY OPINION IS WORSE. RATHER THAN PROVIDING MORE HOUSING TYPES FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T AFFORD A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME IN THIS CITY, IN THIS MARKET, YOU'RE GOING TO FAVOR PRIVILEGED SINGLE-FAMILY HOMEOWNERS SITTING THERE WATCHING THE RESALE VALUE OF THEIR HOMES GO UP AND UP, WHY? IS THAT YOUR JOB? SORRY. I PROMISE THE VALUE OF THEIR HOMES IS GOING TO BE OKAY, ESPECIALLY IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. SO PLEASE THINK ABOUT PROVIDING MORE HOUSING, MORE HOUSING TYPES FOR THOSE WHO REALLY NEED IT, RENTERS AND PEOPLE WHO NEED THE SMALLER SCALE DEVELOPMENT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES SIR. NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD EVENING. NATHAN HAGAN. I'M HERE TO SPEAK TONIGHT ON MY POINT OF VIEW ON THE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT. WHEN I MOVED BACK TO TAMPA, I DON'T KNOW, SIX YEARS AGO, I LIVED IN SOUTH SEMINOLE HEIGHTS ABOUT FIVE BLOCKS NORTH OF HERE. WHEN I LEFT THAT HOUSE, IT WAS BECAUSE I COULDN'T AFFORD TO LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AT THAT TIME AND BECAUSE I DIDN'T LIKE THE HOUSING OPTIONS THAT EXISTED FOR ME THEN. IF THESE TYPES OF HOMES WERE BUILT TEN YEARS AGO, I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STAY IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AND I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO AND I WOULD HAVE HAD MORE OPTIONS AND MANY MORE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE OPT OPTIONS IE HAVE HOMES LIKE THAT. IF YOU LOOK IN THE AREA AND TRY TO FIND HOMES LIKE THIS THE PRESENTER POINTED OUT SEVERAL THAT EXIST. HOW OFTEN ARE THOSE AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED IT? THERE IS A SUPPLY AND DEMAND PROBLEM. THERE IS -- IT IS A FOUNDATIONAL PROBLEM THAT'S DRIVING THIS HOUSING AFFORDABILITY ISSUE THAT IS AT THE CENTER OF OUR POLICIES THAT EXIST ALREADY IN OUR COMP PLAN. WE NEED TO CREATE ENOUGH HOUSING FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO GROW. THAT IS A REQUIREMENT BY THE STATE LEGISLATURE THAT DRIVES YOUR ZONING POWERS. IF YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO DO THAT, AS WOULD BE ACCOMPLISHED IN APPROVING A PROJECT LIKE THIS. I DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE FOLLOWING THROUGH ON OUR OBLIGATION WITH STATE LAW REGARDING OUR ABILITY TO MANAGE LAND USE IN THE CITY OF TAMPA. SO I'LL JUST SAY WE NEED MORE TYPES OF HOUSING, AND THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THE TYPE OF HOUSING THAT I WOULD HAVE REALLY LIKED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT WOULD HAVE MADE THE NEIGHBORHOOD MORE AFFORDABLE TO ME. I THINK THAT'S COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT THIS WOULD IMPROVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD IF YOU THINK KEEPING PEOPLE LIKE ME IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD BE HELPFUL. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. YES MA'AM. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> HI. MY NAME IS KATHERINE OLIVIERA. FORMER ST. PETE NEIGHBOR AND NOW A CURRENT WEST TAMPA RESIDENT. I APPRECIATE THE CHANCE TO SPEAK TO YOU ALL THIS EVENING. SPEAKING FROM A LITTLE BIT OF EXPERIENCE, TWO MONTHS AGO, OUR HOUSE WAS COMPLETELY FLOODED AND DESTROYED BY HURRICANE HELENE. MY WHOLE FAMILY WAS UPROOTED AND WE WERE LOOKING FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING. WHEN WE ORIGINALLY MOVED TO FLORIDA, WE HAD LIVED IN TAMPA AND WE DECIDED THAT WE WANTED TO MOVE BACK, BUT WERE COMPLETELY SHOCKED AT THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOME PRICES. SO THE ONLY WAY OUR FAMILY COULD AFFORD TO CONTINUE BEING HOMEOWNERS IN THE URBAN CORE WAS TO BUY A TOWNHOME, ONE OF THESE DUPLEXES. AND WE MOVED THERE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. MY HUSBAND AND I, OUR TWO KIDS AND OUR FOUR DOGS. YEAH. IT'S GREAT. OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, ARMORY GARDENS IS ALREADY AN R-20 ZONED AREA. I KNOW THAT'S BEING REQUESTED TODAY. FROM EXPERIENCE, I THINK WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE. WE'VE MET ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE FROM ALL DIFFERENT HOMES. NEW DUPLEXES, OLDER HOMES, BIG, SMALL, AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT VERY SPECIAL AND ALLOWS TO WELCOME FAMILIES OF DIFFERENT INCOME LEVELS AND BACKGROUND AND I BELIEVE THE SAME LOGIC APPLIES TO TAMPA HEIGHTS. WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THIS PROJECT, I FELT COMPELLED TO SHOW MY SUPPORT AND HIGHLIGHT HOW PROJECTS LIKE THIS AFFECT PEOPLE LIKE ME. AND ALLOW US TO HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN AREAS THAT WE HAVE BEEN PRICED OUT OF. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES MA'AM. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> HI. CAROL SANTOS. I LIVE ON OLA AVENUE PRETTY MUCH CORNER ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY WE'RE SPEAKING ABOUT. THE COMMENT OF THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMEOWNERS SITTING THERE WATCHING THEIR PROPERTY, I'M A SINGLE MOTHER. I SCRAPED UP MY SAVINGS AND I PURPOSELY CHOSE THIS NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE IT WAS SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, BECAUSE KIDS COULD BE THERE, THE DOGS COULD BE THERE. IT WAS WHAT ATTRACTED ME TO THAT AREA. SO TO SAY THAT BRINGING THESE DUPLEXES IS BENEFICIAL TO ANYBODY THERE, I JUST DON'T SEE IT. ALSO, THEY KEEP MENTIONING THE R-20 ZONING AROUND THE AREA, BUT THEY ARE REFERRING TO LIKE FLORIDA AVENUE, TAMPA AVENUE. THOSE ARE BUSY, YES, THAT'S OUT OF OUR CONTROL. THOSE ARE VERY BUSY STREETS. BUT WHEN YOU STEP INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, IT'S QUIET. IT'S SINGLE FAMILIES. IT'S ALL A LOT OF OLDER HOMES. THE LOT NEXT TO ME ACTUALLY WAS ONE HOME, A DEVELOPER PURCHASED IT, PUT TWO HOMES ON IT. EACH HOME SOLD FOR $800,000. NOT ONE PERSON UP HERE HAS MENTIONED HOW MUCH THESE HOMES ARE GOING TO GO FOR. THIS AFFORDABLE, I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S REALLY TRUE. THESE ARE ALL MUCH OLDER HOMES THAT ARE ACTUALLY STILL AFFORDABLE. SO I'M AGAINST THIS. THE WHOLE REASON I BOUGHT THERE AND I JUST MOVED THERE. I GOT ALL MY SAVINGS TOGETHER TO MOVE THERE. IT IS AN OLDER HOME, BUT I LOVE IT. THERE IS A PARK BEHIND US. A BEAUTIFUL PARK, AND I JUST DON'T AGREE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES MA'AM. COME ON UP. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> MY NAME IS MINDY FISHER. I LIVE ON NORTH OLA RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM CAROL. EVERYBODY KEEPS MENTIONING THESE AFFORDABLE HOMES. I HAVE NOT SEEN ONE AFFORDABLE HOME IN THE AREA THAT'S BEING BUILT. IT'S BEEN A MILLION FOR EACH OF THESE TOWNHOMES. SO IF THEY THINK THAT'S AFFORDABLE, I JUST HAVE TO SAY IT'S NOT AFFORDABLE, THAT WE ALL SCRAPE AND WE ALL WORK AND WE MAKE OUR MONEY BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY THAT THIS IS COMING IN AND GETTING -- WE'RE BEING PRICED OUT OF OUR OWN HOMES. JUST WANT TO SAY THAT. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES SIR. COME ON UP. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> MY NAME IS JASON MOORE. I'VE BEEN A TAMPA RESIDENT FOR OVER 20 YEARS. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO HEAR ME SPEAK ABOUT AN ISSUE THAT I THINK REALLY IS CRUCIAL FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S FUTURE. ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO, I BOUGHT A DUPLEX RIGHT OFF FLORIDA AVENUE. I RENTED OUT ONE SIDE AND I LIVED ON THE OTHER SIDE AS I WAS STARTING MY CAREER. ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO, I MOVED OUT AND SINCE I'VE BEEN ABLE TO RENT BOTH SIDES AT AN AFFORDABLE RATE. MY TENANTS ARE REAL PEOPLE WITH BLUE COLLAR AND SERVICE JOBS WHO WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD RENT TO BE ABLE TO RENT A SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED HOME FOR THREE TO FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS PER MONTH WHICH IS THE GOING RATE FOR A RESPECTABLE HOME IN TAMPA HEIGHTS. I'M PROUD TO SAY THAT MY DUPLEX IS STILL PROVIDING ALL OF THESE PEOPLE AFFORDABLE PLACES TO LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ALL THESE YEARS LATER. I'VE SEEN MANY PEOPLE GET PRICED OUT OF THE MARKET AND PRICED OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD OVER THE YEARS BECAUSE NEW SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ARE GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER AND IN TURN LESS AND LESS AFFORDABLE. WHAT I BELIEVE WE NEED IS MORE AFFORDABLE OPTIONS TO A WIDER GROUP OF PEOPLE. A WIDER GROUP OF PEOPLE. JUST LIKE WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST FOR RENTERS AND FIRST-TIME HOME BUYERS. WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THIS PROJECT, I KNEW I NEEDED TO COME FORWARD AND VOICE MY SUPPORT. THIS IS REALLY GOOD FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD. PLEASE APPROVE IT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. YES MA'AM. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS CHANEL. I'M HERE TONIGHT WITH MY FIANCÉ, TEDDY. AND WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE WITH YOU ALL. RECENTLY, TWO YEARS AGO, MY FIANCÉ AND I HAD THE DREAM OF BEING FIRST-TIME HOMEOWNERS IN TAMPA HEIGHTS AND WE GOT REALLY LUCKY IN FINDING A BUNGALOW JUST A FEW BLOCKS AWAY FROM HERE WHICH WE'RE SO INCREDIBLY FORTUNATE FOR. BUT DURING THE TIME OF LIVINGTH IN NEIGHBORHOOD, WE'VE WITNESSED A LOT OF BIG BUILDERS WHO COME IN WITH THESE REALLY LARGE PROJECTS. THEY ARE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES THAT ARE EASILY TWO, THREE TIMES THE SIZE OF OURS, AND THEY EASILY SELL FOR 900,000 OR MORE. FRANKLY, IT'S BEEN EYE OPENING FOR US BECAUSE WE KNOW WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD THAT. WE PROBABLY WON'T IN OUR LIFETIME NOR WOULD MANY OF OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS. THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE, AS MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS IN THIS ROOM HAVE SHARED. THIS IS A REALLY IMPORTANT TOPIC FOR MORE DIVERSITY. WE HOPE THERE IS A CLEAR NEED FOR MORE DIVERSE HOUSING FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES, SIR, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> MY NAME IS TED MARCELLO. I WANTED TO ADD THAT WHILE I'M HERE IN MY CAPACITY AS A RESIDENT OF TAMPA HEIGHTS, I DO WANT IT TO BE KNOWN THAT THE TAMPA HEIGHTS CIVIC ASSOCIATION HAS EXPRESSED ITS SUPPORT FOR THE PROPOSED ITEM IN A LETTER SENT TO CITY COUNCIL EARLIER THIS WEEK AS ITS THOUGHTFUL APPROACH TO INCREASING DENSITY IN THE AREA DOES ALIGN WITH THE TAMPA HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN, SPECIFICALLY AS PART OF THE PLAN'S VISION THAT STATES TAMPA HEIGHTS HOUSING CHOICES WILL BE DIVERSE AND AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE OF ALL INCOMES AND CULTURES. IN THAT LAST PART, I AM FAR TOO FAMILIAR WITH THIS NEED AS A FIRST GENERATION AMERICAN, I HAVE BORN WITNESS TO MY FAMILY BEING PRICED OUT OF THE AREA DUE TO THAT VERY LACK OF REAL ALTERNATIVE HOUSING OPTIONS. WE DO BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE DESERVES THE OPPORTUNITY TO CALL THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HOME AND ASK THAT YOU SUPPORT THIS REQUEST. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK? IF NOT, I'LL ASK THE APPLICANT FOR A REBUTTAL. SIR, IF YOU HAVE A REBUTTAL, COME ON UP. YOU GET FIVE MINUTES. >> THANK YOU GUYS. I LOVE THE FEEDBACK. LIKE, THIS IS WHY I DO WHAT I DO AND WHY I SPEND THE TIME I DO OUT IN THE COMMUNITY. A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT STRUCK ME IN THE FEEDBACK OF IT, THOUGH, WERE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES SELLING ANYWHERE BETWEEN -- UP TO A MILLION DOLLARS. THAT'S EXACTLY THE POINT. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M TRYING TO SOLVE. I AM A ONE-MAN SHOW. LIKE, I AM A BROKER AND I HAD THE HOME BUILDING SITE. I DON'T WANT TO DO BATTLES FOR NO REASON, BUT I KNOW THIS NEIGHBORHOOD NEEDS AFFORDABLE OPTIONS. SO WHEN I SAY I'M DOING THIS FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD, I'M DOING IT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND AFFORDABILITY. I DON'T WANT MY NEIGHBORS GETTING PRICED OUT. SOMETHING A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T THINK ABOUT IS THAT OUR EXISTING NEIGHBORS ARE GETTING PRICED OUT BECAUSE THE INSURANCE BILLS ON 1930 BUNGALOWS HAVE TRIPLED FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. EVEN IF YOU WANT TO STAY IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD AND YOU HAVE EQUITY, IT'S EXPENSIVE TO DO THAT AND YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO STAY HERE SOMETIMES. PROVIDING NEW OPTIONS OF MORE AFFORDABLE, SMALLER FORMAT HOMES IS ESSENTIAL TO KEEPING PEOPLE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND ALSO GETTING NEW BLOOD, RIGHT? LIKE, THIS IS A GREAT LOCATION FOR YOUNG FAMILIES AND PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN GIVING UP THEIR CAR. LITERALLY 540 FEET AWAY FROM A BUS STOP. WE'RE LESS THAN A MILE FROM DOWNTOWN. I CAN BE IN ARMATURE WORKS IN LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES ON MY BICYCLE. I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE THIS KIND OF PROJECT MAKES SENSE THAN WHERE THIS IS. THE OTHER THING I THOUGHT IS GREAT IS THAT PEOPLE WHO WORK HARD TO PUT MONEY DOWN TO BUY THEIR HOUSE, SAME THING. PEOPLE WILL SAVE MONEY TO PUT DOWN TO BUY THEIR FIRST HOUSE. DOGS AND KIDS LIVE IN TOWN HOUSES TOO. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IS OUT THERE. I'M PERSONALLY COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE MY NEIGHBORHOOD STAYS THE COOL ECLECTIC THING IT IS. I'M GOING OUT ON A LIMB TO DO IT THIS WAY INSTEAD OF BUILDING A McMANN SCHUSS AND MAKING A HIGHER PROFIT MANSION. BUILDING A REALLY EXPENSIVE 4,000-SQUARE-FOOT HOUSE DOES NOT SERVE MY NEIGHBORHOOD. IT MAY SERVE ME INDIVIDUALLY. I'M BEYOND THAT IN MY LIFE. I NEED A LEGACY. I'M ALWAYS AROUND AND I ALWAYS REACH OUT TO ALL MY NEIGHBORS TO MAKE SURE I'M DOING THE BEST THING FOR US. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. PLEASE SUPPORT THE CHANGE IN DENSITY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN MIRANDA AND THEN -- >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SIR, YOU MENTIONED AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOUR OR FIVE TIMES IN YOUR DELIBERATION AND YOUR REBUTTAL. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU, WHAT IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING? >> ESSENTIALLY MISSING MIDDLE ALLOWS FOR A SMALLER FORMAT. INSTEAD OF 3,000 OR 2500 SQUARE FOOT FLOOR PLAN, YOU CAN GO DOWN TO 1500 OR 1800 SQUARE FEET. TAKE THAT TIMES A HOUSE AND YOU'LL GET A LOWER PRICE HOME. IT'S NOT AFFORDABLE UNDER CERTAIN INCOME THRESHOLDS BY PRODUCT. IT'S GOING TO CREATE A MORE AFFORDABLE OPTION. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: DIDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION -- >> IN MY WORLD, UNDER 600. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WE MAY BE IN DIFFERENT WORLDS. WHAT IS THIS PROJECT YOU'RE HAVING TO ASK FOR MORE UNITS, WHAT ARE THE COST? I WANT YOU TO SAY ABOUT. >> SAY UNDER 600,000. STICKS AND BRICKS JUST FOR COST FOR ME STICKS AND BRICKS IS 230 A SQUARE FOOT PLUS THE COST OF LAND. INFLATION IS NOT GREAT ON ANYTHING. TO BE REALISTIC AND NOT SET BASS EXPECTATIONS, 230 BUCKS A SQUARE FOOT IS THE COST TO BUILD PLUS LAND COST. MULTIPLY THAT TIMES 1800, YOU'LL GET THERE PRETTY QUICK. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN AND COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU HIT ON A BUNCH OF TO INTS THAT I TRY TO MAKE ON LAND USE -- POINTS THAT I TRY TO MAKE ON LAND USE AS WELL. SAME BLOCK. VERY FIRST BLOCK COMING OFF OF MLK CORRECT? >> RIGHT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ON THE NORTH END OF THIS BLOCK IS MIXED USE COMMERCIAL? >> IT IS A PARKING LOT AND AN OFFICE SPACE ON BOTH SIDES. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: EAST AND WEST ON MLK? OFFICES AND COMMERCIAL? >> RIGHT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OKAY. I'LL SAVE THE REST OF MY COMMENTS. I JUST WANTED TO VERIFY. IT WASN'T CLEAR. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WAS CLEAR IN MY ASSESSMENT. >>GWEN HENDERSON: THANK YOU, CHAIR. I KNOW YOU TALKED ABOUT THE MISSING MIDDLE. CAN'T YOU GET TO THE MISSING MIDDLE WITH RS 10? >> NO, UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE OF THE ACREAGE AND THE STAFF REPORT BROUGHT THAT UP. THE MAX WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW PUTS IT AT FIVE UNITS. THE ONLY WAY THAT I CAN GET TO A DUPLEX ON EACH LOT IS TO GO TO R-20 WHICH WOULD GIVE A MAXIMUM OF 10. IT IS ACTUALLY 9 AND HAD TO GO FOR BONUS DENSITY. >>GWEN HENDERSON: I KNOW THAT YOU SAID THAT YOU MENTIONED THAT THE RS 20, WHICH IS RIGHT ON HIGHLAND AVENUE, THE ONLY LITTLE SPOT. THIS IS CLEARLY A RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY, SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES AND I KNOW WE HAVE DUPLEXES THERE AND THINGS THAT OCCURRED WHEN THERE WAS NO ORGANIZATION OR STRUCTURE FOR WHAT YOU COULD BUILD WHEN PEOPLE WERE FLEEING TAMPA HEIGHTS AT ONE TIME. THE RS 10 IS FIVE UNITS, RIGHT? UP TO FIVE UNITS. >> ON THIS PARCEL IT ALLOWS UP TO FIVE. >>GWEN HENDERSON: THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE, BUT TEN -- UP TO TEN UNITS, WHAT IS IT RS 20 IS UP TO 10 RIGHT? I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY CAN'T YOU BUILD MISSING MIDDLE WITH RS 10 BECAUSE YOU CAN GO UP. OR YOU WANT A DUPLEX SIDE BY SIDE. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? >> WELL, NO. THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. RS 20 ALLOWS FOR 20 UNITS PER ACRE. WE CAN'T GET TO 20 -- THE SIZE OF THE LOT IS ABOUT HALF AN ACRE. IN ORDER TO GET 10 UNITS, WE HAVE TO BE AT R-20. SO THE STAFF REPORT ACTUALLY SHOWS THE MAXIMUM WITH THE EXISTING AND WHAT IT WILL BE WITH R-20. R-20 IS NECESSARY TO BE ABLE TO BUILD MISSING MIDDLE. >>GWEN HENDERSON: BUT YOU WANT TO GET TO TEN UNITS. THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, RIGHT? >> YES. SO FIVE LOTS, A DUPLEX ON EACH LOT. THAT IS A TOTAL OF TEN HOUSING UNITS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE? >>GWEN HENDERSON: I JUST WOULD LEAVE IT AT THAT. BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION SAID THAT THEY SUPPORT IT, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD AND AT THIS TIME, IT DOESN'T -- I DON'T THINK IT SUPPORTS BUILDING BEYOND THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOME IN THIS PARTICULAR PART OF TAMPA HEIGHTS BECAUSE IT'S CLEARLY A SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD AND WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR, WHILE IT DOES HELP SUPPORT THE MISSING MIDDLE, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY SUPPORT AFFORDABLE HOUSING. IT'S DIFFICULT FOR ME TO SUPPORT IT BECAUSE I TEND TO AGREE WITH THE NEIGHBORS THAT CAME AND SPOKE TODAY WHO LIVE WITHIN CLOSE PROXIMITY. I JUST DON'T SEE IT BENEFITING THE COMMUNITY AT THIS TIME TO CHANGE IT FROM RS 10 TO RS 20. I'M JUST NOT CONVINCED THAT IS THE BEST USE. >>LYNN HURTAK: MOTION TO CLOSE. >> SECOND. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE. YES MA'AM. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: LEGAL DEPARTMENT. ONE OF THE SPEAKERS MENTIONED COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. I WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT THAT IS A STANDARD THAT IS USED FOR A QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING, WHICH THIS IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT. IT IS A LEGISLATIVE DECISION. SO COUNCIL IS CONSIDERING WHETHER OR NOT AS A POLICY MATTER THE REQUESTED CHANGE IS APPROPRIATE IN THIS LOCATION FOR THIS PARCEL OF PROPERTY. I WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION TO CLOSE, SECOND FROM CLENDENIN. ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK? >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE THIS IS EXACTLY WHERE INCREASED DENSITY IS NEEDED. IT IS RIGHT OFF OF MLK, RIGHT ON A BUS LINE. ACTUALLY, OLA AVENUE, WHICH I'M SHOCKED PEOPLE DIDN'T MENTION, IS THE NEW BIKE BOULEVARD. THE BIKE BOULEVARD IS GOING RIGHT DOWN THIS OLA AVENUE, WHICH WILL ADD MORE DIVERSE TRANSPORTATION ALONG THIS CORRIDOR. TAMPA HEIGHTS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT PUSHES FOR CHANGE IN DENSITY. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS FIGHTING TO KEEP THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE, THERE. WE DON'T SEE THAT IN MANY OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS TO THE EXTENT THAT TAMPA HEIGHTS IS SUPPORTING THIS. SO I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR IT AND I WILL -- >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DO YOU WANT TO READ THE ORDINANCE? >>LYNN HURTAK: I'LL READ THE ORDINANCE. FILE TA/CPA 24-08, ORDINANCE BEING PRESENTED FOR FIRST READING CONSIDERATION, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT, FUTURE LAND USE MAP FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3901 AND 3905 NORTH OLA AVENUE AND 3904 NORTH DARTMOUTH AVENUE FROM RESIDENTIAL 10, R-10, TO RESIDENTIAL 20, R-20, PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND, COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN, DISCUSSION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MR. SINK, CAN YOU THROW UP SLIDE NUMBER 9 SO I CAN TALK TO IT? I JUST WANTED TO USE THIS AS A VISUAL. THIS IS WHY I CONCUR WITH COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK IN THE ASSESSMENT ABOUT WHY I WAS ASKING THE DEVELOPMENT ALREADY EXISTING ON MLK. IT'S NO SECRET THAT I'M AN ADVOCATE FOR TRANSPORTATION AND TRANSPORTATION FRIENDLY ZONING AND LAND USE. WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, MLK IS THAT EAST-WEST CORRIDOR. IT IS A MAJOR EAST-WEST TRANSIT STREET. THIS IS THE VERY FIRST BLOCK. I'VE SAID IT FROM THE DAIS I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES, ANYBODY THAT LIVES WITHIN A BLOCK OF A MAJOR TRANSIT CORRIDOR EXPECT INCREASED DENSITY. THEN WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT STEP-DOWN DENSITY. IN A PERFECT WORLD AS WE LOOK AT THIS ON MLK, YOU WOULD HAVE THAT MORE INTENSE DENSITY ALONG MLK, AND YOU WOULD CONTINUE TO STEP DOWN DEEPER INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, POSSIBLY EVEN DEEPER THAN THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. SO I THINK GOING TO R-20 IN THIS IS QUITE MODEST. FOR COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON, YOUR THOUGHTS -- I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS WERE BECAUSE ECHOING SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS. I THINK WHAT HAPPENS IS IF YOU ASK A DEVELOPER THE COST OF DIRT AND AGAIN, SO IF HE DEVELOPED IN SINGLE-FAMILY, HE WOULD HAVE TO BUILD 4,000-SQUARE-FOOT UNITS TO GET A RETURN ON THE INVESTMENT. SO THIS IS WHAT WOULD END UP HAPPENING BECAUSE OF THE COST OF THE DIRT, HAVE TO OVERDEVELOP THAT PROPERTY AND BUILD THESE BIGGER HOUSES. THIS WAY THEY CAN BUILD MORE MODEST AND SMALLER HOUSES BECAUSE THE COST OF THE DIRT. IF THE DIRT WAS CHEAPER -- >>GWEN HENDERSON: NOT TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT PART -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WAS JUST ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION. I DON'T THINK IT WAS FULLY ANSWERED. MY BIG THING, AGAIN, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS MAP, CAN'T SEE WHERE I'M POINTING, YOU LOOK AT THE MAP AND LOOK AT TAMPA STREET AND THE WAY THE LAND USE HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED, SO YOU GET DOWN TO THIS COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AND THEN THE R-20 DOWN TO THE SOUTH AND, OF COURSE, TO THE EAST. IF YOU ARE JUST GOING TO NATURALLY CREATE IN AN OFFICE HOW YOU'RE GOING TO DEVELOP THIS LAND, YOU WOULD CONTINUE THAT R-20 ALL THE WAY UP TAMPA STREET AND ALL THE WAY EAST-WEST OFF OF MLK AND TRANSITION INTO SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD FURTHER SOUTH. AGAIN, WE ARE LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE RIGHT PLACE IN THE CIY OF TAMPA. THIS IS KIND OF HIGH AND DRY. AND IT'S ALONG OUR TRANSPORTATION CORRIDORS. WE'RE NEVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET TO THE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS THAT I'M PURSUING BEFORE I DIE IN THE CITY OF TAMPA IF WE DON'T INCREASE DENSITY ALONG THESE CORRIDORS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON AND COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA AND THEN CARLSON. >>GWEN HENDERSON: IF IT WERE ALONG FLORIDA AVENUE OR MARTIN LUTHER KING, I COULD EASILY SEE RS 20 AND BE SUPPORTIVE BUT THIS IS A SINGLE-FAMILY COMMUNITY, PERIOD. AND NOTHING ELSE -- IF I'M THINKING ABOUT THIS IN TERMS OF SOUTH TAMPA, YOU-ALL WOULD BE VOTING NO. SO THIS IS LIKE, I AM NOT GOING TO SUPPORT IT BECAUSE THIS IS A SINGLE-FAMILY PARTICULAR AREA. IF IT WAS ALONG THE TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR, THAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT, BUT IT'S NOT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: [INAUDIBLE]% >>GWEN HENDERSON: THAT IS A TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR. THIS IS INSIDE THE COMMUNITY. THIS IS CLEARLY INSIDE THE COMMUNITY. NOT BECAUSE I'M A TAMPA HEIGHTS RESIDENT. THIS IS CLEARLY INSIDE THE COMMUNITY AND IT DESERVES TO BE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA. SO I CAN'T SUPPORT IT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA AND CARLSON. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: IF YOU LOOK AT THE CORNER TO THE RIGHT, YOU HAVE NORTH BOULEVARD AND MLK. FIRST ONE THAT HAD A GAS STATION IN THE BACK OF THE PLACE. IT WAS PACKED EVERY SUNDAY, FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY. COULDN'T GET NEAR THE PLACE. ALONG THESE CORRIDORS, I'M NOT OPPOSED TO CHANGING, BUT IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF ARMENIA AVENUE, YOU COULDN'T DO IT. >> OTHER SIDE OF WHAT STREET? SORRY SIR. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I UNDERSTAND THAT. YOU'RE SETTING A PRECEDENT, THAT BLOCK YOU'RE IN, THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION, NOTHING LIKE THAT THERE FROM WHAT I SEE HERE. YOU WOULD BE THE FIRST ONE DOING IT. THEY CALL THE DOMINO EFFECT. YOU HAVE ONE AND THEN HAVE A LOT MORE. IF IT IS A SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE LIKE I SEE NOW, NOT SAYING I'M HUNDRED PERCENT CORRECT OR ANYBODY ELSE IS WRONG, YOU HAVE A DIFFERENCE IN ZONINGS. I UNDERSTAND ABOUT TRANSPORTATION. MY WHOLE LIFE WHEN I WAS LIVING IN THE HOUSING PROJECT. I'M NOT OPPOSED TO TRANSPORTATION, BUT THIS IS THE START OF SOMETHING I DON'T WANT TO SEE THE END OF. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBERCARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: SINCE THIS IS LEGISLATIVE, I CAN SAY THINGS THAT I COULDN'T SAY IN QUASI-JUDICIAL. ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT COMES UP IS WE SHOULDN'T PUT THINGS IN OTHER PEOPLE'S NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE WOULDN'T PUT IN OUR OWN. THE NEIGHBORHOOD I LIVED IN FOR 15 YEARS IN HYDE PARK WAS FULL OF THESE -- >>GWEN HENDERSON: WHAT THESE? >>BILL CARLSON: DUPLEXES. THE PROBLEM IS THAT -- AND I WON'T MENTION ANY NAMES, THE PROBLEM IS IF A DEVELOPER COMES IN AND CUTS AND PASTES SOMETHING FROM THE SUBURBS INTO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, THEN IT LOOKS TERRIBLE. WE ARE NOT APPROVING THE EXACT PLAN HERE TODAY. BUT I THINK FROM YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT YOU HAVE AN AESTHETIC, IF YOU GO TO HYDE PARK, GO TO THE MOVIE THEATER IN HYDE PARK VILLAGE JUST NORTH OF THERE, ALL AROUND THERE ARE THESE. THEY ALL LOOK LIKE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. SO IT DOESN'T TAKE AWAY FROM -- THIS IS HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD, NATIONAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, DOESN'T TAKE AWAY FROM THE LOOK AND FEEL. IN FACT, IT ADDED TO IT BECAUSE THERE WERE DEVELOPERS THAT WENT IN AND DID THE RIGHT THING. IF YOU ARE NOT A DEVELOPER, IF YOU ARE A DEVELOPER LOOKING TO TAKE A SUBURBAN DESIGN AND STICK IT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT WOULD BE A CONCERN. I THINK READING BETWEEN THE LINES WITH WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION SAID, YOU HAVE THE SENSITIVITY AND AESTHETIC TO BUILD SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE ADDITIVE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND WE'LL LOOK AT THAT LATER. I'M AGAINST PUTTING MULTIFAMILY IN A PLACE ALSO WHERE THERE'S SINGLE-FAMILY, BUT IN A CASE WHERE SOMEBODY IS GOING TO PUT IT IN AND IN A WAY THAT IT HAS THE AESTHETIC AND FITS IN AND ADDS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THEN I'M NOT AGAINST. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. >>GWEN HENDERSON: BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S GOING TO PUT HERE. WE DON'T KNOW THAT UNTIL THAT'S PRESENTED. THAT IS A DIFFERENT SITUATION. RIGHT NOW IT IS ABOUT CHANGING THE LAND CODE. HE COULD SELL IT TOMORROW AND THEN IF WE VOTE TO CHANGE IT TO R-10, THEN THAT PERSON CAN MAXIMIZE IT AND IT WOULD BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT. >>BILL CARLSON: THE OTHER PROBLEM HE MENTIONED IS THE McMANSIONS. I GET A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THOSE. THAT WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE BECAUSE PART OF THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE WITH STORMWATER IS ALL THESE McMANSIONS DON'T HAVE A YARD AND THEY ARE BUILT UP HIGHER AND RUN WATER INTO OTHER PEOPLE'S HOUSES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. LET'S TAKE A ROLL CALL VOTE. >>LUIS VIERA: YES. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NO. >>BILL CARLSON: YES. >>LYNN HURTAK: YES. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YES. >>GWEN HENDERSON: NO. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES. >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED WITH MIRANDA AND HENDERSON VOTING NO. SECOND READING AND ADOPTION WILL BE HELD ON DECEMBER 19, 2024, AT 10:00 A.M. IN OLD CITY HALL, CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS, 315 EAST KENNEDY BOULEVARD, TAMPA, FLORIDA 33602. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ITEM NUMBER 6. >> GOOD EVENING. ERICA LARSON, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. THIS ITEM IS PLANNING COMMISSION'S REVIEW OF THE CITY OF TAMPA'S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT SECTION, CIS, SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS UPDATE. THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM. CHAPTER 163 REQUIRES A SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS OR THE LIST OF PROJECTS ADDRESSING LEVEL OF SERVICE AND ADOPTED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BE UPDATED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. THE UPDATE WOULD REPLACE EXISTING CIS SCHEDULE AND COMP PLAN WITH THE SCHEDULE LISTED IN YOUR PACKETS. THE LATEST SCHEDULE REFLECTS THE ADOPTED C.I.P. THAT WERE RECENTLY APPROVED. THE UPDATE IS ACCOMPLISHED BY ORDINANCE WHICH IS EXPLICITLY PERMITTED UNDER CHAPTER 163. THIS IS A ROUTINE ANNUAL UPDATE. WE COME BEFORE YOU EACH YEAR WITH THIS INFORMATION TO SUPPORT THE ORDINANCE. CITY STAFF IDENTIFIED PROJECTS IN THE CIS THAT AFFECT THE LEVEL OF SERVICE. THESE ITEMS MAKE UP THE SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS. THERE WAS A RECENT CHAPTER 163 UPDATE THAT ALSO REQUIRES THE CIS TO INCLUDE BASIN MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN, BMAP PROJECTS UPDATED ANNUAL. IT IS A FRAMEWORK FOR WATER QUALITY RESTORATION, THAT INCLUDES A COMPREHENSIVE SET OF SOLUTIONS TO ACHIEVE THE POLLUTANT REDUCTIONS ESTABLISHED BY A TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOAD TMDL AS DEFINED BY THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. THESE BMAP PROJECTS WERE COORDINATED WITH CITY STAFF FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL DEPARTMENT. ADDITIONALLY, THE PLANS OF OTHER AGENCIES ARE INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE. DISPLAYED IS A SUMMARY OF THE CIS SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS WHICH ARE PLACED INTO SEVEN PROGRAM AREAS. YOU CAN SEE THE LARGEST GROUPS IN TERMS OF FUNDING ARE WASTEWATER AND WATER. THE TOTAL FUNDING AMOUNT FOR FISCAL YEAR 25 THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 29 IS 1.331 BILLION FOR 75 PROJECTS. THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE BREAKDOWN OF LEVEL OF SERVICE PROJECT TYPES IDENTIFIED BY THE CITY AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LEVEL OF SERVICE PRIORITIES OUTLINED IN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT SECTION, OBJECTIVE 1.3 AND POLICY 1.3.2. WHICH STATE THE SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS SHOULD BE PLANNED TO BOTH ELIMINATE EXISTING DEFICIENCIES AND REPLACE ONE-OUT FACILITIES. ON THIS SLIDE, YOU WILL SEE OBJECTIVE AND POLICY EXCERPTS USED IN THE CONSISTENCY REVIEW, HOWEVER A FULL LIST OF THE POLICIES CAN BE FOUND IN YOUR PACKET. THE COASTAL OBJECTIVE IN POLICY LISTED DISCUSSES THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA AND LIMITING PUBLIC EXPENDITURES FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES WITHIN IT. AFTER REVIEW, STAFF FOUND THAT PROJECTS WITHIN THE CHHA WERE MINIMAL AND WERE EITHER TO SERVE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT, REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OR ENHANCE PUBLIC ACCESS TO NATURAL AREAS. THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICY DISCUSSES PROJECT FUNDING SHOULD BE -- SHOULD FIRST BE EXPENDED ON PROJECTS THAT MAINTAIN LEVEL OF SERVICE AND CORRECT DEFICIENCIES BEFORE BEING EXPENDED ON PROJECTS THAT SERVE FUTURE GROWTH. THE REST OF THE OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES LISTED ON THIS SLIDE ARE RELATED TO INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC FACILITIES. PLANNING COMMISSION FOUND THE CITY OF TAMPA'S PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 25 THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 29 CIS SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND RECOMMENDS ADOPTION BY ORDINANCE.

THE REQUEST IS FOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES SMLL VENUE CLASSIFICATION FOR THE SALE OF BEER AND WINE, CONSUMPTION ON PREMISES ONLY. THIS REQUEST DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY OUTDOOR AB SALES AREA. THIS IS ALL CONTAINED INDOOR AREA. THERE ARE TWO BUILDINGS ON THE SITE. BUILDING ONE WOULD CONTAIN 4,343 SQUARE FEET AND THEN BUILDING TWO CONTAINS 580 SQUARE FEET. THIS GIVES A TOTAL AB SALES AREA OF 4,923 SQUARE FEET. AB SALES HOURS ARE CONSISTENT WITH CHAPTER 14. THERE ARE 20 SPACES REQUIRED AND PROVIDED ON-SITE. SO I HAVE A ZONING MAP TO SHOW.

THERE ARE TWO WAIVERS THAT ARE REQUESTED WITH THIS REQUEST. AND THERE ARE SITE PLAN MODIFICATIONS WHICH ARE REQUIRED TO BE MADE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. I'M AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS? NO. APPLICANT. >> TYLER HUDSON. 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE. YOU HAVE A LONG AGENDA, SO WE HAVE A SHORT PRESENTATION. WITH ME HERE THIS EVENING IS MICHAEL LEAVEN WHO IS THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY AND THE PROPRIETOR OF THE ESTABLISHMENT THAT WE'LL TALK TO YOU ABOUT. ALSO HERE IS HIS OPERATING PARTNER AND HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW. IT IS A FAMILY AFFAIR. ALSO KALEB JOHNSON HERE, THE DAY-TO-DAY MANAGER OF THE FACILITY. UNTIL THE FLOWER SHOP WINE BAR, I THOUGHT WE WOULD BE THE MOST UNUSUAL USE THIS EVENING. THIS IS A PRIVATE INDOOR GOLF PRACTICE FACILITY. I THINK WE KNOW WHERE IT IS. IT'S ON MacDILL ACROSS FROM BAYSHORE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL BETWEEN EUCLID AND GANDY. THIS IS, AGAIN, A PRIVATE MEMBERSHIP BASED GOLF PRACTICE FACILITY. TWO GOLF SIMULATOR BAYS WHICH ARE LARGE ROOMS THAT YOU HIT GOLF BALLS INTO A WALL. IT'S GROWING IN POPULARITY. THERE ARE A FEW OF THESE. CERTAINLY NOT THE FIRST ONE IN TAMPA. WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS BE ABLE TO SELL BEER, WINE, SELTZER'S ON PREMISES TO MEMBERS. ACCESS WITH YOUR PHONE, BLUETOOTH KEY CARD, PRECISE DATA ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE THERE. AT PEAK 8. AVERAGE TWO OR THREE PEOPLE. THIS IS BY THE NATURE NOT A SITE THAT INVITES A LOT OF PEOPLE OR LOT OF EXTERNALITIES THAT SPREAD OUT. PRIVATE EVENTS THAT VERY, VERY OCCASIONALLY HOSTED ON-SITE. TOP RIGHT, THAT'S ONE OF THE ROOMS. BELOW IT IS THE OTHER ROOM. THE BOTTOM LEFT IS SORT OF THE COMMON FACILITY THAT JOINS THE TWO OF THEM AND IS OCCASIONALLY USED FOR EVENTS. ON PARKING, ALSO WANT TO MAKE CLEAR, MIKE WILL ADDRESS THIS -- NOT GOING ANYWHERE. THAT'S BEEN SERVING ICE CREAM SINCE 1995. THAT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE. THIS IS THE FACILITY NEXT DOOR IN THE SAME BUILDING THAT'S BEEN THERE SNCE WE BELIEVE THE 1940s. WE'RE DELAYED BECAUSE OF THE HURRICANE BUT FURTHER DELAYED BECAUSE WE DECIDED TO ADD IN THIS PARCEL THAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE TO THE NORTH. RIGHT NOW WOULDN'T CALL IT REALLY A DIRT LOT. MORE OF A COMPACTED CLAY THAT HAS BEEN IN THAT CONDITION FOR QUITE SOME TIME. BETWEEN THAT, THE SPACES BEHIND THE BUILDING AND THE EIGHT NONCONFORMING SPACES THAT FRONT MacDILL AND HAVE FRONTED MacDILL FOR QUITE SOME TIME, WE HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH PARKING. WE HAVE AS MUCH AS WE NEED FOR ZONING BUT FROM OPERATIONS WE HAVE FAR MORE PARKING THAN THE FACILITY HAS EVER NEEDED. THIS IS A NEW ONE. IT'S NOT A PARKING WAIVER. IT IS A PAVING WAIVER. THE CODE WOULD REQUIRE US LOT. DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. THERE IS A REALLY COOL TREE, GRAND TREE. VERY HEARTY TREE. I DON'T THINK ANY DAMAGE AT ALL FROM THE VARIOUS STORMS WE'VE HAD. IT WAS THERE LONG BEFORE, BEFORE THE BUILDING WAS THERE AND WE DON'T WANT TO COVER IT IN ASPHALT. THE PARKING LOT WILL OCCASIONALLY POOL A LITTLE BIT IF THERE'S SOME RAIN. IN OUR VIEW, SOUTH TAMPA, THIS PIECE OF SOUTH TAMPA DOESN'T NEED MORE IMPERVIOUS SURFACE. THIS IS THE CATEGORY IF IT'S NOT BROKE, DON'T FIX IT. WE'RE ASKING FOR A WAIVER TO NOT COVER THIS PARKING LOT IN CEMENT. ACCESS IS A LITTLE UNUSUAL. NATURALLY HAS A DRIVE-THROUGH WHICH AS YOU ALL PROBABLY KNOW, DRIVE-THROUGHS ARE PRETTY RARE. PRETTY VALUABLE BECAUSE THEY ARE TOUGH TO GET NEW ONES. THE WAY YOU ENTER THE SITE AND AGAIN, GIVEN THAT IT'S A PRIVATE OR A MEMBERSHIP BASED FACILITY, EVERYONE KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE IN THIS PLACE BECAUSE THEY ARE PROBABLY ICE CREAM PATRONS AS WELL. ONCE YOU'RE IN, YOU CAN GO BACK OUT ON BAY VISTA. NARROW. AREAS ON THE DRIVEWAY. ONCE YOU'RE IN, YOU'RE IN. THE YELLOW BOXES ARE PARKING. AGAIN, THERE'S NO PARKING ISSUES. MORE THAN ENOUGH PARKING. THEN YOU EXIT OUT RIGHT ON MacDILL. ONCE YOU'RE IN THE FACILITY, IT'S REALLY HARD TO GET BACK INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE'RE NOT AWARE OF ANY COMPLAINTS. PEOPLE DRIVING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO WORK AWFULLY HARD TO GET BACK IN THERE. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. I'LL ASK MIKE TO SHARE A FEW WORDS ABOUT HIS BACKGROUND AND WHAT HE WANTS TO DO HERE AND THEN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES SIR. >> MICHAEL EVAN, OWNER OF THE PROPERTY AS WELL AS CO-OWNER OF THE BUSINESS. BOUGHT THE PROPERTY FOUR YEARS AGO DURING COVID AND I'VE LIVED OFF MacDILL IN FOUR DIFFERENT HOMES. ONE WAS TWO BLOCKS AWAY. NOW I'M IN PALMA CEIA WITH MY FAMILY. BOUGHT THE PROPERTY, I LOVE MacDILL. IT WAS A UNIQUE SPOT ON MacDILL THAT HAD RETAIL. HAD ZERO INTEREST IN TRYING TO DO SOMETHING WHERE WE'RE GOING TO DEVELOP IT. I'M NOT A DEVELOPER. NOT IN THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS. BUT THIS PROPERTY WAS UNIQUE. MY FAMILY, WHEN I TALKED TO MY WIFE ABOUT IT, SHE SAID THAT'S COOL, BUT DON'T EVER LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOGURT NATURALLY. THEY WILL ALWAYS STAY, AND THEY PROBABLY VERY MUCH ENJOY THE LEASE RATE THEY ARE CURRENTLY AT. THIS IS NOT A MONETARY THING THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING WITH THIS BEER AND WINE LICENSE FOR THE MEMBERS TO ENJOY AT THE GOLF SIMULATOR CLUB. IT'S MORE SO THAT IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO HAVE A SELTZER OR BEER WHILE THEY ARE HITTING GOLF BALLS FOR AN HOUR THAT THEY CAN DO SO. NOT SEEKING ANYTHING ON THE LIQUOR SIDE BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE -- I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF OVERINDULGENCE AND CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANYTHING IN LIFE THAT CATERS TO IT. THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS. THE IDEA BEHIND THIS IS WHEN WE BOUGHT THE BUILDING AND PUT IN A SIMULATOR AND IT JUST KIND OF GREW FROM THERE. AND KIND OF WORD OF MOUTH AND HAS BEEN ENJOYED BY MANY PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE THERE'S JUST NOT A LOT OF GOLF ACCESS WITHIN SOUTH TAMPA. HOPING WE CAN MAKE THE MEMBER EXPERIENCE A LITTLE BIT BETTER AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 8? WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER -- ANYBODY? MIRANDA? ALL IN FAVOR, AYE.

REQUESTING AB SALES 2,076 SQUARE FEET OF INDOOR AREA AND 725 SQUARE FEET OF OUTDOOR AREA FOR A TOTAL AB SALES AREA OF 2801 SQUARE FEET. AB SALES HOURS ARE CONSISTENT WITH CHAPTER 14. THE TOTAL PARKING REQUIRED IS 27 SPACES. AND THEY ARE PROVIDING 22 SPACES. THEY ARE REQUESTING A WAIVER TO THIS STANDARD. I'LL PUT UP AN AERIAL MAP. THE SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED IN RED HERE. THIS IS HENDERSON BOULEVARD. THIS IS BETWEEN SOUTH HIMES STREET AND STERLING AVENUE AND SWANN AVENUE IS HERE TO THE NORTH. THIS IS -- THIS PROPERTY IS ZONED CG. YOU CAN SEE THAT THE CG COMMERCIAL GENERAL ZONING FOLLOWS THIS PATTERN ON HENDERSON BOULEVARD. THIS IS THE SITE PLAN THAT THE APPLICANT PROVIDED. THE APPLICANT CURRENTLY HAS AN AB SALES APPROVAL WITH SPECIAL RESTAURANT FOR SALE OF BEER AND WINE. THIS REQUEST WILL ADD LIQUOR. THE ABILITY TO SELL LIQUOR. AND CHANGES THE DESIGNATION TO SMALL VENUE WITH CONSUMPTION ON PREMISES AND PACKAGE SALES. YOU CAN SEE THE PROPERTY BOUNDARY HERE AND THE SUBJECT SITE. THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED ON THE SITE PLAN THE OUTDOOR SALES AREA AND THE INDOOR SALES AREA. THEY ARE PROVIDING PARKING ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND ALSO IN THE REAR WITH ACCESS FROM HENDERSON BOULEVARD. I ALSO HAVE SOME PICTURES OF THE SITE. THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF CONSTRUCTION GOING ON. WHEN I WENT TO TAKE PHOTOS. THIS IS THE PICTURE OF THE SUBJECT SITE OFF OF HENDERSON BOULEVARD. BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY. THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE WEST PARKING LOT. THIS IS ANOTHER PHOTO OF THE WEST ELEVATION AND THE PARKING LOT. THIS IS A PHOTO LOOKING NORTHEAST ON HENDERSON BOULEVARD AND TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA ABOUT WHAT THE SURROUNDING AREA IS, THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE SITE ACROSS THE STREET. SO YOU CAN SEE THE COMMERCIAL PATTERN. DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION AND COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THIS APPLICATION AND FOUND -- SORRY -- AND THEY FOUND THE REQUEST INCONSISTENT. THEY ARE REQUESTING TWO WAIVERS RELATED TO DISTANCE SEPARATION FROM OTHER AB SALES ESTABLISHMENTS AND REDUCTION IN THE PARKING, THE REQUIRED PARKING. MINOR SITE PLAN MODIFICATIONS ARE REQUIRED TO BE MADE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS? YES MA'AM. >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAD NOTICED AND I TALKED TO MS. JOHNSON VELEZ ABOUT THIS DURING MY PREP, TOO. THIS IS A QUESTION POSSIBLY FOR THE APPLICANT, BUT SEEMS TO BE A LOT THAT WE'RE GETTING SOME APPLICATIONS NOT FOR JUST EXPANDING TO LIQUOR BUT ALSO PACKAGE SALES. WILL THIS HAVE A STORE COMPONENT? >>LEO DEBARDELEBEN: I WILL LET% THE APPLICANT ANSWER THAT. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: APPLICANT, COME ON UP, SIR. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. WERE YOU SP SWORN IN. >> I WAS. TRUETT GARDNER, NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE. TO YOUR QUESTION, IT IS A GOOD ONE AND LITTLE CONFUSING, THE SMALL VENUE IS A LITTLE BIT OF A MISNOMER. NOT A PACKAGE STORE, STILL 51% OF SALES HAVE TO BE FOOD SALES. BUT THIS WILL HAVE A SMALL GRAB AND GO MARKET WHERE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GET FOOD AND ALSO BOTTLED WINE. SO THAT'S WHAT TIPS IT OVER TO SMALL VENUE, SMALL VENUE VERSUS LARGE VENUE I THINK VENUE IS LESS THAN 200 PEOPLE. SMALL VENUE GREATER THAN THAT IS LARGE VENUE. HOPE THAT HELPS. I HAD THE SAME EXACT QUESTION AND WANTED TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT. WE ARE THRILLED TO BE IN FRONT OF YOU TONIGHT. WE'RE PRESENTING A NEW FRENCH BISTRO CONCEPT BROUGHT TO TAMPA BY THE SAME GROUP THAT BROUGHT ROCCA TO ARMATURE WORKS. THIS IS THEIR CONCEPT. AS MENTIONED, IT ALREADY HAS ALCOHOL APPROVAL. THE SQUARE FOOTAGE IS A LITTLE BIT OFF. WE'RE ALSO ADDING SOME OUTDOOR DINING AS WELL TO GIVE IT THAT BISTRO FEEL. WE HAVE RECEIVED NOTHING BUT POSITIVE COMMENTS AND ALL OF THE SOCIALIZATION THAT WE'VE DONE FOR THIS CONCEPT AND DID WANT TO ADDRESS THE WAIVER. I KNOW YOU'VE HAD A LONG DAY AND LONG NIGHT. NOT EXPECTING OPPOSITION AT ALL, BUT I DID FEEL IT WAS IMPORTANT TO ADDRESS THE WAIVERS. ADDIE WILL RUN THROUGH THOSE REAL QUICK AND HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU, SIR. >> GOOD AFTERNOON. ADDIE CLARK, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE. LEO DID A GREAT JOB OF SHOWING WHERE YOU THIS SITE IS. I THINK EVERYONE KNOWS WHERE IT IS. I DID WANT TO MENTION IT WAS PREVIOUSLY A LITTLE LEON. YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE BUBBLE THERE. AGAIN, WHAT IS ALLOWED TODAY? SO ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE IS THE HIGHLY TECHNICAL AB PERMIT FROM 2005. AS TRUETT SAID, WE ARE UPDATING THIS TO INCLUDE OUTDOOR SPACE AS WELL AS TO CLEAN UP WITH A MORE ACCURATE SURVEY THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED SINCE THEN. HERE, AGAIN, WE ARE DOING A PROPOSED ADAPTIVE REUSE OF THE EXISTING BUILDING. SO TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THOSE EXISTING STRUCTURE AND THEN ALSO THE EXISTING PARKING LOT. AGAIN, SPECIFICALLY HERE DUE TO THAT OUTDOOR SEATING AND TO CORRECT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE FROM BEFORE. AGAIN, LEO DID A GREAT JOB OF GOING THROUGH WHAT WE'RE SEEKING TODAY, BEER, WINE AND LIQUOR SALES AND THEN THE SQUARE FOOTAGE WE'RE PROPOSING AS WELL AS OUTDOOR SQUARE FOOTAGE. IMPORTANT TO NOTE, TOO, THAT THE PATIO DOES EXIST TODAY. WE ARE JUST NOW UTILIZING IT FOR OUTDOOR SPACE. AND GOING INTO THE WAIVERS, SO WE BELIEVE THAT WAIVER NUMBER ONE ABOUT THE DISTANCE SEPARATION REALLY IS JUST AN EFFECT OF DOING BUSINESS ON HENDERSON. AGAIN, THIS WAS AN EXISTING RESTAURANT BEFOREHAND AND THE LOCATION ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET, HENDERSON, HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE FOR QUITE SOME TIME AS WELL. AND THEN FOR THE SECOND WAIVER, REGARDING PARKING, WE HAVE 27 SPACES REQUIRED. ACTUALLY 18 PROVIDED. THAT WAS JUST ONE CORRECTION WE WANTED TO POINT OUT. BUT THERE IS SOME NUANCE TO THAT. YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT PARKING IS EXISTING AND WE ARE ACTUALLY -- WE HAVE 18 SPACES ON-SITE IN BLUE SHADED BUT THEN THERE ARE ACTUALLY SEVEN SHARED SPACES AT THE PROPERTY RIGHT NEXT DOOR AVAILABLE VIA A SHARED PARKING AGREEMENT. SO WE HAVE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO THE SEVEN SPACES STARTING AT 5 P.M. EACH NIGHT AND NONEXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO THE SEVEN SPACES 24/7. WE BELIEVE THEN WE'RE KIND OF LOOKING AT A TOTAL OF 25 TOTAL SPACES WHEN THE RESTAURANT IS IN OPERATION. AND THEN HERE WE GO IS A SNIPPET OF THE SHARED PARKING AGREEMENT, ESTABLISHING THE RIGHT TO A MINIMUM OF SEVEN SPACES. THAT'S GOING INTO THE DISTANCE SEPARATION. WE KNOW YOU'VE HAD A LONG DAY, SO WE'RE HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS? ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 9? WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED?

THE PROJECT CONSISTS OF EXISTING BUILDING WHICH IS LOCATED HERE. WE HAVE PROVIDED 95 PARKING SPACES. AND 46 SPACES ARE REQUIRED. THIS IS A NEW CONCEPT BEING BROUGHT TO THE TAMPA AREA, AND IT INVOLVES AN ENTERTAINMENT AREA WHERE MUSIC IS PROVIDED IN A LIVE FASHION, THURSDAY, FRIDAY SATURDAY. BUT THE FACILITIES ARE OPEN TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. IT IS A FULL THE-SERVICE SERVICE RESTAURANT. OPERATES AS LIVE MUSIC ON THURSDAY FRIDAY, SATURDAY. WE CONDUCTED A SOUND ANALYSIS WHICH YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU. AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO GO THROUGH . THE MAIN PA SYSTEM WAS ANALYZED AND IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE WITHIN APPROPRIATE LEVELS ESTABLISHED BY THE CITY. THE ENTRYWAY DOORS, WE DID AN ANALYSIS THERE. WE ALSO DID ONE FROM ACROSS THE STREET, ALL OF WHICH ARE CERTIFIED BY A SOUND ENGINEER. AND YOU HAVE THAT REPORT IN FRONT OF YOU. WE'LL BE HAPPY TO MAKE THAT AS PART OF OUR RECORD. WE ALSO ENGAGED A SECURITY COMPANY. WE HAD A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING AND SOME OF THE DISCUSSIONS WE HAD INVOLVED BOTH THE SOUND AND THE SECURITY AND HOW YOU WERE GOING TO HANDLE THAT. WE DID HIRE WARDEN SECURITY AND I HAVE REUBIN, THE OWNER AND DIRECTOR OF THAT AGENCY, TO COME UP AND FILL YOU IN ON ALL THE MEASURES THAT WERE BEING EMPLOYED THERE. IN TERMS OF MEETING THE CRITERIA, INGRESS AND EGRESS, DUE CONSIDERATION HAS TO BE GIVEN FOR THE ADEQUACY OF INGRESS AND EGRESS. AND THAT WAS APPROVED PER THE CITY OF TAMPA SITE PLAN FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND SITE PLAN AND ALL OF THE CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS WERE APPROVED. OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING WAS ALSO APPROVED VIA THE SITE PLAN. AS I SAID, THAT'S FULLY PERMITTED AND READY TO GO. REFUSE AND SERVICE AREAS, THAT ALSO WAS APPROVED VIA THE SITE PLAN. LIGHTING, THERE'S INSIDE AND OUTSIDE LIGHTING IN THE PARKING LOT TO ENHANCE THE SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS. UTILITIES WERE APPROVED AGAIN PER THE BUILDING PLAN AND SPECIFIED. THERE WAS NO ADDITIONAL DRAINAGE REQUIREMENT BECAUSE IT WAS EXISTING BUILDING. GENERALLY, ADJOINING NEARBY PROPERTIES, THERE ARE NO ADJOINING PROPERTIES, EXCEPT FOR THE PARKING LOT AND THE VACANT LOT TO THE NORTH. THIS IS WITHIN THE URBAN VILLAGE AND WE ARE WITHIN 250 FEET OF ANOTHER ESTABLISHMENT SELLING ALCOHOL. AND AS STAFF HAS POINTED OUT, THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE WAIVER. THERE ARE NO OPERATIONAL OR CONSTRUCTION WAIVERS THAT ARE BEING REQUESTED FOR THIS PROPERTY. IT IS ONLY AN INSIDE SERVICE AREA. THERE ARE NO OUTSIDE VENUES THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH IT IN ANY WAY. THE REST OF THE CRITERIA THAT WE'VE MET INCLUDE THE USE TO ENSURE THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE AND GENERAL WELFARE OF OTHERS. AND IT IS DEVELOPED AND OPERATED ACCORDING TO SITE PLAN, TO THE PLAN AS SUBMITTED. WE'RE NOT PROPOSING ANY EXTERIOR CHANGES. EXISTING BUILDING, AS I SAID, HISTORIC AND WAS FULLY RESTORED TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE STANDARDS. THE USE, WHICH IS LISTED AS A SPECIAL USE DISTRICT, IS PROPOSED AND COMPATIBLE AND THE USE IS SIMILAR TO OTHERS IN THE AREA, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT OF THIS PARTICULAR CULTURAL SELECTION. THE USE IS COMPATIBLE WITH CONTIGUOUS AND SURROUNDING PROPERTIES AND THE USE OF THE PUBLIC. AS I SAID, IT'S VACANT EXCEPT FOR THE PARKING LOT THAT IS ADJACENT TO IT THAT SERVICES THIS BUILDING AND THE VACANT LOT TO THE NORTH. THE USE WILL NOT ESTABLISH A PRECEDENT OR ENCOURAGE MORE INTENSIVE OR INCOMPATIBLE USES IN THE SURROUNDING AREA. IT'S NOT MORE INTENSIVE AND IT DOES NOT ESTABLISH ANY USE THAT WOULD BE INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE CITY. I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO REUBIN WARRIOR WHO CAN TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE SECURITY MEASURES THAT WE'VE EMPLOYED. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HELLO, SIR. >> RUBEN WARRIOR. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, SIR. >> YOU KNOW, I WAS ASKED BY SADDLE BACKS TO ASSESS THEIR SECURITY ASSESSMENT, THEIR SECURITY PLAN, SO I USED TEN STEPS THROUGH THERE AS I WENT THROUGH THEIR PLAN. THE FIRST SET OF PLANS WAS OKAY, BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SOME EXTRA ADVANCEMENTS ON THAT. SO I JUST HAD TO MAKE A FEW CHANGES AND NOW I SUBMITTED THE REPORT TO YOU GUYS HERE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE GENTLEMAN? ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD? COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSESSMENT. IT LOOKED VERY NICE. I ALSO WANT TO SAY THIS SADDLE BAGS, YOUR COMPANY, I GUESS, THIS NEW VENUE, IS RIGHT DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM A RESTAURANT THAT'S OVER A HUNDRED YEARS OLD. ONE OF THE FINEST IN THE COUNTRY. THAT'S ALL I'M GOING TO TELL YOU. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYTHING ELSE? YES MA'AM. >>LaCHONE DOCK: THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN AND COUNCIL. LaCHONE DOCK, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. I JUST WANT TO PROVIDE CLARIFICATION ON THE REQUESTED AB SALES CLASSIFICATION. SO THE REQUEST IS FOR A VENUE DESIGNATION. AND I HAVE HEARD MENTION OF REPORTING THIS IS A RESTAURANT. YOU CAN HAVE THE USE OF A RESTAURANT, BUT THE DESIGNATION OF VENUE DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU TO REPORT ANNUALLY. THE ONLY WAY THE ESTABLISHMENT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPORT ANNUALLY IS BY ADDING A CONDITION AS DIRECTED BY COUNCIL. SO IF THAT IS THE DESIRE BEFORE WE CLOSE THE HEARING, IF YOU WOULD MAKE THAT DIRECTION THAT THAT CONDITION BE ADDED TO THE SITE PLAN. OTHERWISE, THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO REPORT ANNUALLY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> AS THE APPLICANT, WE WOULD REQUEST THAT THAT CONDITION BE PLACED ON THE SITE PLAN. IT'S NOT OUR INTENTION TO AVOID THAT. WE INTENDED ALL ALONG FOR THE RESTAURANT TO BE FULLY OPERATIONAL, WE WERE THE DOORS WERE OPEN AND PATRONS WERE THERE. AS I SAID, WE ENGAGED A SECURITY CONSULTANT BECAUSE THAT COMMENT CAME UP AS PART OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING AND THE SOUND AND ALSO THE SECURITY ELEMENT. WE ARE REQUIRED BECAUSE IT'S IN AN URBAN VILLAGE IN YBOR CITY TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE SOUND ATTENUATION STUDY, BUT WE ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PLACE THE SECURITY PLAN WITH YOU. BUT WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO ADD THOSE TO THE SITE PLAN AS A CONDITION AS WELL. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL. LIKE I SAID, IT'S A NEW CONCEPT, BUT WE HAVE TAKEN MEASURES TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS NOT OFFENSIVE AND/OR CREATE ANY ADVERSE IMPACT TO ANY SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNER. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU, SIR. WE'RE GOING TO GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT. I HAVE SOME REGISTERED SPEAKERS ONLINE. IS FRAN COSTANTINO ONLINE? IS CHRISTINA JOHNSON ONLINE? DID YOU SWEAR THEM IN OR DO WE NEED TO SWEAR THEM IN? FRAN AND CHRISTINA, PLEASE TURN ON YOUR CAMERAS, RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND, AND WE WILL SWEAR YOU IN. FRAN, TURN ON YOUR CAMERA. ALL RIGHT. PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND, FRAN, AND WE WILL SWEAR YOU IN. GO AHEAD. >>THE CLERK: DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT THE TESTIMONY THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO PROVIDE IS THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH? >> YES. >> YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: FRAN COSTANTINO IS THE FIRST SPEAKER FOLLOWED BY CHRISTINA JOHNSON. STATE YOUR NAME. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. >> FRAN COSTANTINO. APPRECIATE IT. I WOULD BE THERE WITH YOU TONIGHT BUT I'M NURSING TWO FRACTURED RIBS. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME APPEARING VIRTUALLY. I BEG YOUR FORGIVENESS. I SENT AN E-MAIL YESTERDAY. LIKE TO READ A COUPLE OF PARAGRAPHS IN THE RECORD. THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS WITH US BEFORE AND THOSE OF YOU WHO WILL LEARN OF THE ISSUES THAT HISTORIC EAST YBOR CITY HAS BEEN THROUGH FOR YEARS WITH SHOOTINGS, FIGHTS, CROWD NOISE, UNDERAGE DRINKING, ILLEGAL PARKING, DEBRIS, PUT ON YOUR SEAT BELTS BECAUSE HERE WE GO AGAIN IF THIS APPLICATION IS APPROVED. WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH ALL OF THE ABOVE WITH MUCH SMALLER VENUES SUCH AS CLUB MANILA, PA TRONE AND THE BROADWAY BAR. SADDLE BAG YBOR IS A LARGER VENUE AND ADVERTISES ITSELF AS ULTIMATE YBOR CITY DESTINATION WITH HOURS THAT ARE TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE. I THINK THEY ORIGINALLY PRESENTED SEVEN DAYS A WEEK UNTIL 3 IN THE MORNING. I UNDERSTAND THEY MODIFIED TO THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY UNTIL 2. AT ONE MEETING THE REPRESENTATIVE STATED THEY WOULD BRING IN TOP NAME COUNTRY BANDS THAT WILL START AT 10:30 IN THE EVENING, WHICH IS ABOUT WHEN THE RESIDENTS ARE PLANNING TO RETIRE FOR THE EVENING. WHY WASTE MORE TPD TIME AND RESOURCES WHEN THEY ARE ALREADY STRETCHED ACROSS SOHO AND THE REST OF THE CITY? AS IT IS, ESTABLISHMENTS ON THE WEST SIDE OF YBOR CITY WEREN'T ABLE TO GET ENOUGH OFF-DUTY OFFICERS TO SIGN UP OR VOLUNTEER AS REQUIRED BY ORDINANCE. SADDLE BAGS STATED THEY WILL HAVE TOP-NOTCH SECURITY ON-SITE WITH NO POWER TO MAKE ARREST IF NECESSARY. SO WHAT'S THE POINT? IF THEY STILL NEED TPD RESOURCES IF ANYTHING ERUPTS. CITY INSTALLED PAY BY PLATE ON THE EAST SIDE OF 7th AVENUE. THAT CAN ONLY MEAN THAT THE PATRONS WILL BE PARKING IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAYS AND ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, OUR PROPERTY. THE PROOF OF THAT IS WHEN THERE ARE NIGHT PARADES AND NEIGHBORHOOD GET-TOGETHERS, INUNDATED WITH PEOPLE AVOIDING PAID PARKING, THEREFORE DRINKING, RELIEVING THEMSELVES AND THROWING TRASH ALL OVER OUR YARDS. THIS MUST BE STOPPED, PERIOD. THERE ARE MANY MORE INCOME PRODUCING BUSINESSES THAT CAN GO THERE OTHER THAN A DRUNK RIDING A MECHANICAL BULL UNTIL TWO OR THREE IN THE MORNING AND THEN DRIVING THROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS, BLARING MUSIC AS THEY EXIT. I AM OBVIOUSLY IN OPPOSITION TO THIS APPLICATION. I JUST WANTED TO BRING UP A COUPLE OF THINGS. THEY ARE USING A FORMULA THAT FOR 95 PARKING SPACEDS FOR 803 PEOPLE VISITING THIS VENUE. I DON'T KNOW, THAT MAY WORK ON THE WEST SIDE OF Y YBOR BECAUSE THERE ARE PARKING GARAGES AND PARKING LOTS, BUT FOR THE WEST SIDE, THERE'S NO PLACE TO GO THERE. AND THEY ARE SUPPOSEDLY GOING TO HAVE 5 EMPLOYEES. WHERE ARE THOSE EMPLOYEES GOING TO PARK? IN THE 95 PARKING SPACES OR IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD? THERE IS A ROOFTOP BAR BUT THEY ARE NOT ENCROACHING INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. WHEN I EXTENDED THE HISTORIC DISTRICT -- FROM THE COLUMBIA TO 26th STREET, WE DIDN'T HAVE THIS IN MIND. IT WAS ALL TO KEEP IT RESIDENTIAL. I'M JUST ASKING FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IN REJECTING THIS. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. CHRISTINA JOHNSON, YOU ARE THE NEXT SPEAKER. GO AHEAD, MA'AM. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> HELLO. I'M CHRISTINA JOHNSON. 2407 EAST 10th AVENUE. I LIVE THREE BLOCKS BEHIND THE VENUE. I ATTENDED THE NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, THE LAYOUT AND LIMITED MENU, THE WAY IT IS SET UP, IT IS A CLUB. IT IS A COUNTRY CLUB, BUT STILL A CLUB. IT IS A CLUB THAT HAS VENUES, MUSIC BANDS PLAYING BEGINNING AT 10:00, I THINK. IT'S A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, AND WE'VE NOT -- I MEAN, HAVE ANOTHER CLUB IN THIS PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD ALSO RIGHT DOWN THE STREET FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY BAR DOESN'T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE. THE PARKING IS A HUGE ISSUE. I MEAN, WHERE ARE THESE PEOPLE GOING TO PARK? WE KNOW WE'LL END UP WITH DAMAGED FENCES, DAMAGE TO PROPERTIES, DRUNKS HAVING FIGHTS AND BRAWLS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. PEOPLE THROWING THEIR GLASS CONTAINERS OUT ONTO THE STREETS. HAVE A VENUE THAT STARTS THAT LATE FOR MUSIC IS CLEARLY NOT A RESTAURANT. IT'S GOT LIKE FIVE THINGS ON THE MENU. FIVE FRIED THINGS ON THE MENU. THE NOISE, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE NOISE. OF COURSE, I WOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WE SLEEP. WE HAVE TO SLEEP. WE CAN STILL ALREADY HEAR SOME OF THE NOISE FROM 7th AVENUE PROPER THAT COMES THROUGH ON CERTAIN WINDY DAYS, COMES RIGHT THROUGH OUR HOUSES AS IT IS. AND THIS IS RIGHT IN OUR BACKYARD. THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. I HOPE YOU VOTE NO ON THIS. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MA'AM. IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? PLEASE COME UP. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES. >> HI. MY NAME IS DENISE HANDSTIR. I'M IN FRONT OF THE COUNCIL TODAY, I WANT TO FIRST THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING. JUST TO SPEAK ON THE CONCERNS THAT MANY OF US HAVE FOR SADDLE BAGS COMING INTO OUR COMMUNITY. NUMBER ONE, YOU KNOW, WE HEARD MR. MICHELINI SPEAK, BUT I NEVER HEARD ANY REFERENCE ABOUT THE RESIDENTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS ESTABLISHMENT WOULD BE WITHIN 50 SQUARE FEET OF THE FIRST HOME AND SO TO THE OTHER SPEAKER'S POINT IS THAT WE WILL BE AFFECTED BY NOISE AND PARKING. AND FOR A VENUE OF THIS SIZE, 1300 SQUARE FEET WITH A CAPACITY OF 800 PERSONS, YOU KNOW, AND A STAFF OF 50, WHERE ARE THE STAFF GOING TO PARK? WHERE ARE 803 PEOPLE GOING TO PARK? WE THAT LIVE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, WE ARE AFFECTED BY WHEN THERE ARE PARADES. THEY DO COME AND PARK IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. THERE IS THE NOISE. THERE IS THE TRASH. THERE ARE THE FIGHTING. SO THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT. FIRST OF ALL, THIS ESTABLISHMENT ITSELF FOR AS LONG AS WE KNOW HAS ALWAYS BEEN OVER A HUNDRED YEARS, HAS ALWAYS BEEN A RETAIL OR A FURNITURE STORE. IT NEVER HAD ANY LIQUOR SOLD ON THE PREMISES. WE WANT TO KEEP THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OF YBOR CITY. FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN ON THE APPLICATION, THEY HAVE ONLY APPLIED FOR A WAIVER FROM DISTANCE FROM OTHER BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENTS, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE DISTANCE FROM RESIDENTIAL THAT THEY ARE NOT WITHIN THE APPROPRIATE SPACES -- APPROPRIATE DISTANCE. THE PAPER THAT I PASSED OFF TO YOU, THIS IS ALL THE NEIGHBORING BUSINESSES THAT SURROUND SADDLE BAGS. IF YOU TAKE A LOOK, THEY ALL CLOSE BY 10 P.M. WE'RE NOT EXACTLY AGAINST THE PROPOSED VENUE, BUT IF THEY WOULD ADHERE TO A BETTER TIME WHERE IT'S NOT GOING TO DISRUPT THE RESIDENTS, THEN MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN WORK WITH. BUT AS IT IS NOW, IF YOU START A VENUE AT 10 P.M., IT'S NOT GOING TO REALLY GO ON UNTIL 11:00, THAT MEANS WE'LL HAVE SPILLAGE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS UNTIL 2 AND 3 A.M. IN THE MORNING. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM HERE, THERE'S PLENTY OF RESIDENTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WILL BE AFFECTED. MY OTHER CONCERN IS THAT THEY WILL NOT MEET THE 51% OF FOOD SALES. IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR MENU, IT'S FRIED FOOD. THE COLUMBIA RESTAURANT THAT CLOSES AT 10 HAS BETTER FOOD. AND I DON'T THINK THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE THAT. IT IS ON THEIR APPLICATION AS A RESTAURANT CLUB, NOT AS A RESTAURANT. IN ENDING, IF THEY ARE GOING TO BE A RESTAURANT, THEN PLEASE TREAT THEM AS SUCH. THANK YOU. AND I YIELD MY TIME. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES SIR. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD EVENING. JOSE, 2402 EAST -- I LIVE ABOUT TWO BLOCKS AWAY FROM IT. I'VE BEEN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OVER TEN YEARS. IN REGARDS TO SADDLE BAGS, WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT THE ESTABLISHMENT WHEN I FIRST LEARNED ABOUT IT, I REACHED OUT TO THE LANDLORD AND ASKED WHAT THIS BUSINESS IS ALL ABOUT AND THEY MENTIONED IT WAS A RESTAURANT. WE ALL GOT EXCITED. WE NEEDED RESTAURANTS. BUT COMING TO FIND OUT AFTER A WHILE, AFTER FINDING SOME NEWS ON THE WEBSITE AND THEN LOOKING INTO THE APPLICATION THAT THIS WAS BEING REFERRED AS A RESTAURANT CLUB COUNTRY STYLE, THEN 13,000 SQUARE FEET LIKE SAID BEFORE, 800 CAPACITY. I'M SURE YOU'RE AWARE, EAST YBOR HAS A POPULATION OF 600. 600 PEOPLE. A LOT OF PEOPLE MENTIONED TODAY IN A PREVIOUS ITEM SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF DUPLEXES TRIPLEXES COTTAGES BUT MOSTLY SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES FOR A HUNDRED YEARS. [ENCODER DISCONNECT] -- CAN'T STOP THEM FROM HAVING CONCERTS OR HAVING EVENTS, ANY DAY OF THE WEEK IN THE EVENING. SO BASICALLY EVERY EVENING WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO ENJOY OUR HOMES, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ALMOST A THOUSAND PEOPLE CLOGGING OUR STREETS. WHEN WE HAVE PARADES IN THE PAST, WE'VE HAD ISSUES WITH GETTING EMERGENCY VEHICLES. THIS NEIGHBORHOOD WAS DESIGNED FOR BUGGIES AND HORSES. THE STREETS ARE VERY NARROW. WE DON'T HAVE DRIVEWAYS, DON'T HAVE GARAGES FOR THE MOST PART. WE ALREADY STRUGGLE WITH PARKING. IT MAY NOT BE -- THEY ARE PROVIDING 90 PARKING SPACES. THEY HAVE 50 EMPLOYEES. WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO PARK? THIS IS TOTALLY FOR ME THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I LOVE WHAT THEY HAVE DONE HISTORICALLY WITH THE BUILDING, BUT THIS BUILDING HAS ALWAYS BEEN RETAIL AND THAT WAS THE EXPECTATION WHEN IT WAS RENOVATED. RETAIL. NOT A LARGE CONCERT VENUE THAT WAS SOLD TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS A RESTAURANT. NOT A RESTAURANT THIS SIZE. OBVIOUSLY, WE LOVE THE COLUMBIA RESTAURANT, BUT THESE ARE AMAZING NEIGHBORS. THESE PEOPLE -- YOU GO TO CASA AND YOU SEE NEIGHBORS. THEY CLOSE AT 10 P.M. THEY ARE NOT A NUISANCE BY NO MEANS. BUT, HONESTLY, I DON'T THINK I CAN BE IN SUPPORT OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT. I THINK THIS IS A DETRIMENT TO OUR LIVES AND WE ALREADY FOUGHT FOR YEARS TO GET -- SLEEPLESS NIGHTS, COUNTLESS SLEEPLESS NIGHTS. I'M ASKING YOU TO . >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD EVENING, KIMBERLY McCRAY. NOT SO SOUND REPETITIVE TO WHAT MY NEIGHBORS SAID, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I LIVED IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD FOR 30 YEARS, AND WE HAVE SEEN A LOT OF POSITIVE CHANGES, BUT IF SADDLEBAGS IS GOING TO BE OPEN UNTIL 2 A.M., AROUND 10:30 SELLING ALCOHOL IF NOT A RESTAURANT IN MY OPINION. WE HAVE SEEN A LOT OF POSITIVE CHANGES IN A NEIGHBORHOOD. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE ALL SEEN THIS MOVIE BEFORE, ESPECIALLY IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THE BROADWAY, WITH MANILA AND WE KNOW THAT THE SEQUELS ARE ALWAYS WORSE. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I MEAN, A COUPLE OF GOOD SEQUELS. GOOD EVENING. >> GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. MY NAME IS FRANK DELAGRANA FOURTH GENERATION YBOR CITY NATIVE AND I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE TEAM OF SADDLEBAGS. I HEAR EVERYBODY'S CONCERNS ESPECIALLY THE PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WORRIED ABOUT THE CHANGES THEY WILL BRING ON THAT SIDE OF 7th AVENUE. HAVING GROWN UP IN YBOR CITY, I HAVE SEEN PLACES COME AND GO. WHAT BROUGHT ME HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE TEAM BUYING SADDLE BAGS THE OPPORTUNITY TO WALK THROUGH THE BUILDING. TO SEE THE ROBINSON BUILDING BEFORE THE RENOVATIONS AND SEE WHAT THE TEAM DID WITH IT. I CAN TELL YOU THAT THEY SPARED NO EXPENSE IN THE BUILDOUT. THEY COMPLIED WITH ALL THE CITY'S REQUESTS. THEY HAVE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND KNOWING THAT THEY WILL FACE ADVERSITY WITH GETTING THIS ZONING CHANGE. THEY EXPECT IT, BUT THEY HAVE COMPLY. RYTHING NECESSARY TO - I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS IS A VERY CRUCIAL DECISION FOR THEM. I HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW THEM BECAUSE OF SOME WORK I HAVE DONE IN YBOR CITY. AND AS I HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW THIS TEAM, THEY HAVE VOICED TO ME THEIR CONCERNS AND THEIR FRUSTRATION TRYING TO COMPLY WITH THE CITY'S REQUEST. THEY ARE NOT GETTING ANYWHERE. I CAN UNDERSTAND THEIR FRUSTRATION. AND I THIRD IN YBOR PORTE COCHERE FOR CLOSE TO FIVE YEARS AND I CAN TELL THAT YOU IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PLACE FOR PEACE AND QUIET, IT IS NOT THE PLACE. THE ROOSTERS CHASE ME OUT OF THERE. I CAN'T BLAME THE CLUBS. I JUST HAVE TO SAY THAT IF YOU -- IF YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WALK THROUGH THIS PLACE. IF YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THEIR KITCHEN, THIS ISN'T A PLACE THAT IS JUST LOOKING TO SELL ALCOHOL AND HAVE SHEET MUSIC. THESE PEOPLE DESERVE A CHANCE. I KNOW THAT THEY WILL COMPLY WITH ANY REQUEST THAT THE CITY ASKS THEM TO DO. AND I JUST THINK IT IS FAIR GIVEN THE INVESTMENT THEY MADE IN OUR CITY AND ALL THE JOBS THEY ARE WILLING TO BRING. AND THEY ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE THAT CHANCE. THANK YOU, ALL FOR YOUR TIME. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES, SIR. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK? >>S} >> HE PART OF THE APPLICATION. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE? IF NOT, WITH WE WILL GO TO REBUTTAL. COUNCILMAN MIRANDA. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THAT BUILDING THERE WAS -- MANY, MANY YEARS NOT ONE SOLID BUILDING BUT DIVIDED INTO A WESTERN PART -- THE SMALLER PART WAS FLORIDA DRUGS, WHICH WAS A DRUG STORE. THE FELLA WHO RAN IT, THE PHARMACIST WAS NAMED ROY VALDEZ. DOWN THE STREET METROPOLITAN DRUGS AND THAT WAS ALSO THERE. THEY ARE BOTH GONE AND I REMEMBER IT LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR. >> HE CAN SPEAK, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE I DON'T EAT UP ALL MY REBUTTAL TIME. >> MY NAME IS RON. I AM PART OF THE PARTNERSHIP THAT IS BRINGING SADDLEBAGS TO YBOR CITY. WE STARTED THIS PROJECT THREE YEARS AGO. AND WE -- OUR FIRST STEPS WERE TO INVITE THE NEIGHBORS TO COME AND TALK TO US. WE SENT E-MAILS OUT. AND NO ONE CAME AND SPOKE US TO ABOUT ANYTHING. AND WHEN WE HAD THE NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING, THEY TOLD US THE REASON WHY THEY COULDN'T COME IS THEY WERE GOING THROUGH SOME CHANGES AND THEY COULDN'T MAKE IT. HOWEVER, WE WENT AHEAD WITH THIS PROJECT. AND WE -- TO BE HONEST YOU WITH GUYS, WE WERE NOT AWARE OF HAVING TO APPLY FOR A WET ZONE PERMIT. WE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS UNTIL MARCH. WE STARTED THIS PROJECT THREE YEARS AGO. WE SPENT $2.5 MILLION TO BUILD OUT THIS PROJECT BECAUSE OF THE HISTORICAL REQUIREMENTS AND HOW MUCH STUFF WE HAD TO PUT IN THE BUILDING. OUR CONCEPT IS BASICALLY, WE ARE A FULL RESTAURANT. NOT A FIVE ITEM MENU. WE HAVE 25 ITEMS ON THE MENU. WE HIRED A CHEF. THIS IS A FULL-BLOWN RESTAURANT OPERATE TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. WE ONLY CLOSE ONE DAY A WEEK WHICH IS MONDAY. THEY ARE A MUSIC VENUE SITE. WE WILL ONLY HAVE MUSIC ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 8 P.M. AND 2 A.M. THURSDAY, WE ARE OFFERING WHAT IS CALLED LINE DANCING LESSONS THAT WILL START AROUND 8:00 AT NIGHT. IT WILL FINISH ROUGHLY AROUND MIDNIGHT. AND THE RESTAURANT -- EVERYTHING WILL CLOSE UP ON THURSDAY BETWEEN 12 AND 1 A.M. THE ONLY TWO DAYS WE ARE GOING TO 2 A.M. IS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. WE ARE HIRING AROUND 50 PEOPLE, BUT IT ONLY REQUIRES 25 PEOPLE ON THE OPERATIONS NIGHT BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WHEN YOU ARE RUNNING A RESTAURANT, YOU CAN'T HAVE PEOPLE WORKING 12-HOUR SHIFTS. IT WILL START MORNING SHIFT, EVENING SHIFT. VOLUME SHIFT. TO CLARIFY WHAT WE ARE DOING, WE ARE NOT TRYING TO DIMINISH ANY CONCERNS FROM THE NEIGHBORS. WE HAD A MEETING WITH THEM. WE ASKED THEM TO GIVE US A CHANCE. AND SEE HOW WE ARE GOING TO OPERATE. OUR OPERATIONS ARE GOING TO -- WE PLAN TO CLEAN UP OUR AREAS WHEN WE CLOSE. THE PARKING LOTS, THE SURROUNDING AREAS, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE OUR GUYS OUT THERE GOING AROUND AND PICKING UP ALL THE TRASH. WE ARE NOT GOING TO ALLOW CUPS TO LEAVE THE CLUB OR THE BAR. THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LEAVE WITH DRINKS. IT IS A NARROW -- WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO-GO DRINKS. NOBODY SHOULD BE LEAVING OUR AREA WITH DRINKS AND STUFF. SO IT SHOULDN'T CAUSE A PROBLEM WITH LITTERING. THANK YOU, ALL. APPRECIATE IT. >> YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THE NEIGHBORS MENTIONED ARE NOT PART OF THE APPLICATION THAT WE SUBMITTED. WE HAVE MET OR EXCEEDED EVERY REQUIREMENT THAT THE CITY HAS. THE CALCULATION BASED ON OCCUPANCY IS ON SQUARE FOOTAGE. BECAUSE THERE IS A DANCE FLOOR INSIDE, THE NUMBERS GO WAY UP, BUT YOU COULDN'T PUT THAT MANY PEOPLE IN THERE IF YOU WANTED TO. THEY BE STANDING ON TOP OF EACH OTHER. THIS IS ALL INSIDE. THERE IS NO OUTSIDE. I SHOWED YOU AND I PROVIDED YOU WITH THE SOUND ANALYSIS, WHICH WAS DONE WITH LIVE MUSIC. SO THERE IS NO OUTSIDE MUSIC. AT THE STREET SIDE, IT IS 47 DECIBELS ACCORDING TO THE REPORT OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING. THAT IS WELL WITHIN THE CITY PARAMETERS. AND THE SECURITY IS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE, SO THE PARKING AREAS ARE SECURE. AND THEY ARE WELL LIGHTED. AS FAR AS THE TRASH AND NOISE, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO TELL YOU, THEY POLICE IT. THEY HAVE PEOPLE. THEY HAVE STAFF OUTSIDE THAT ARE SECURITY AND WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN. IT IS NOT RELATED TO -- IT IS A COMMERCIAL BUILDING. SO THERE ARE A VARIETY OF USES THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED THERE. AND THE RESTAURANT IS AS JOHNNY JUST TOLD YOU IS GOING TO OPERATE COMPLETELY. I WILL BE HAPPY TO PUT THIS ON THE SCREEN TO SHOW YOU THE DECIBEL LEVEL WITH -- WITH THE CONTROLS THAT ARE APPLIED TO THE -- TO THE SOUND SYSTEM INSIDE. AND ALL OF THE SOUND IS CONTROLLED BY A MASTER COMPUTER AND SET SO THAT IT CAN NOT EXCEED ANY OF THE APPROPRIATE LEVELS ESTABLISHED BY THE CITY. SOMEONE LIVING THREE BLOCKS AWAY AND TWO BLOCKS AWAY AND SAYING THEY ARE GOING TO BE AFFECTD WHEN THE NOISE ISN'T EVEN OUTSIDE. THE CAR NOISES AND THE MOTORCYCLE NOISES AND THE TRUCK NOISES EXCEED ANYTHING THAT COULD BE GENERATED INSIDE. ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE AVOIDED ANYTHING OUTSIDE WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ENTIRE AREA WAS CONTAINED. IT WAS CONTAINED FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY, AS WELL AS FOR NOISE ATTENUATION. AND ANY POSSIBLE EFFECT ON ANY ADJACENT PROPERTY. YOU KNOW, WE NOTIFIED EVERYBODY. WE HAD A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING. THEY MENTIONED SECURITY. THEY MENTIONED NOISE. AND WE ADDRESSED IT. NOBODY CAME BACK TO US FOLLOWING THAT AND SAID, HEY, I GOT A PROBLEM BECAUSE WE DON'T LIKE THE USE OR WE DON'T LIKE WHAT TYPE OF FOOD YOU ARE SERVING. THAT IS NOT THE CRITERIA FOR CONSIDERATION HERE. WE HAVE MET OR EXCEEDED EVERYTHING THAT IS REQUIRED IN THE CITY -- IN THE CITY CODE. AND THEN WE ALSO ENGAGED SECURITY ANALYSIS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MET THAT AND ADDRESSED THAT UP FRONT, NOT SOMETHING THAT WE SUDDENLY, YOU KNOW, AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT CAME HERE AND SAID, OH, IT WAS AN AFTERTHOUGHT, WE NEED TO HAVE TIME TO ENGAGE A SECURITY ANALYST. WE DID IT EARLY. AND A WELL-RESPECTED FIRM. THEIR REPORT, YOU HAVE IT THERE. WE WILL BE HAPPY TO MAKE IT PART OF THE RECORD THAT THE SOUND ANALYSIS. HAPPY TO MAKE THAT PART OF THE RECORD. AND, AGAIN, WE ARE REQUESTING THE RESTRICTION OF 5149. SO WE ARE MAKING SURE THAT IT REMAINED A RESTAURANT AND THAT THE KITCHEN REMAINED OPEN AND FULLY OPERATIONAL ANY TIME THAT THE DOOR WAS OPEN FOR PATRONS. I DON'T -- YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, THE SQUARE FOOTAGE IS PER OCCUPANCY. WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THAT. THE CITY APPLIES THEIR OWN FORMULA TO THAT. WE MET THE CODE ESTABLISHED BY THE CITY. NO WAIVER REQUESTED FOR THAT THE ONLY WAIVER BETWEEN US AND ANOTHER ESTABLISHMENT SELLING ALCOHOL. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN AVOID THAT IN YBOR CITY. WE ARE ON 7th AVENUE BETWEEN 7th AND 8th AVENUE. EVERY ESTABLISHMENT IN YBOR CITY IS BETWEEN 7th AND 8th AND THE RAILROAD TRACKS GOING TO THE SOUTH. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU AVOID THOSE ISSUES. I THINK WE ADDRESSED EVERYTHING THAT THE STAFF HAS REQUESTED US. WE TRIED TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS THAT WERE RAISED BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND I THINK WE HAVE DONE THAT, AS WELL AS MEETING THE CODE. AGAIN, THE DISTANCE SEPARATION, I CAN'T CONTROL THAT. THE BUILDINGS ARE THERE. WE DIDN'T BUILD A NEW PORTION OF THE BUILDING. WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL. THESE FOLKS HAVE COME IN. THEY HAVE PUT THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTH IS TO TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT ANYTHING AND ANY ADVERSE IMPACT WAS ATTENUATED, UP FRONT, AND NOT AFTER THE FACT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSI CONSIDERATION. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU, SIR. COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I DID. SO THE OWNERSHIP GROUP, ARE THEY THE ONES THAT RENOVATED THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING AS WELL? >> THAT WAS PART OF THEM AND, ALSO, THE PROPERTY OWNER DARRYL SHAW. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OKAY. AND QUESTION. BECAUSE I THINK SOME OF THE CONCERN IS -- NEIGHBORHOOD BEING BIT BY SOME OF THE PREVIOUS ESTABLISHMENTS. WILL THERE BE AN ISSUE OF HAVING A SITE PLAN RESTRICTION OF 1 A.M. INSTEAD OF 2 P.M. AND LESS LIKE A CLUB? >> WHERE DID YOU GO, JOHNNY? >> ONE OF THE REASONS WE CHOSE 2 A.M. BECAUSE I THINK IN YBOR, THE BARS STAY OPEN UNTIL 3:00. WE CHOSE AN HOUR EARLIER. AND ALSO, SOME OF THE MUSIC BANDS THAT WE CAN GET AND BRING, SOME OF THE UP AND COMING, SOME OF THE NATIONAL GUYS, THEY LIKE TO HAVE A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME TO PLAY AND STUFF. SO WE CHOSE 2 A.M. POSSIBILITY THAT WE CAN CLOSE EARLIER, WE JUST CAN'T PREDICT HOW IT IS GOING TO GO. >> ASKING FOR A COMMITMENT OF 1 A.M. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WILL FLY UP HERE, BUT I THINK THE SENSITIVITY WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS TURNING INTO MORE OF A CLUB TYPE OF ATMOSPHERE OPPOSED TO A VENUE TYPE OF ATMOSPHERE. WHEN YOU HAVE -- BY NATURE WHEN YOU HAVE A 1 A.M., YOU ARE LESS LIKELY TO GET THE CLUB TYPE OF PEOPLE LOOKING TO PARTY ALL NIGHT AND THEY START CLEARING OUT A LITTLE BIT EARLIER AND GOING. AS FAR AS YOU ARE ENCROACHING. THAT IS WHY I BROUGHT THAT SUBJECT UP. >> I MEAN, IF IT IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO CONSIDER, WE WILL CONSIDER IT, YES. >>S} >> HE ASKING FOR A COMMITMENT. YOU EITHER HAVE TO SAY YES OR NO. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: A SITE PLAN COMMITMENT. >> YOU COULD COME BACK AND REVISIT THAT IN THE FUTURE IF YOU PROVED YOURSELF AT 1 A.M. >> OKAY, I MEAN, YEAH, WE CAN COMMIT TO CLOSING AT 1 A.M. IF IT APPEASES THE NEIGHBORHOOD. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I BELIEVE -- AGAIN, THAT LENDS ITSELF TO A DIFFERENT TYPE OF FEELING AND VIBE OPPOSED TO SOMEBODY WHO STAYS OPEN TO 2 OR EVEN 3:00 IN THE MORNING. BY RIGHT, YOU KNOW YOU HAVE THE COMMITMENT FOR 2 A.M., BUT BEFORE THEN 3. AND BECAUSE WHAT YOU REQUESTED -- >> ALL THE BARS IN YBOR CLOSES AT 3:00. >> THAT IS WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO AVOID THAT ENCROACHMENT AND THAT TYPE OF ATMOSPHERE. WE ARE TRYING TO PULL THAT BACK A LITTLE BIT. I APPRECIATE THAT OF YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE COMMUNITY. AND, OF COURSE, THE OWNER OF THE BUILDING, THE INVESTMENT OF THIS BUILDING. I THINK WE HAD PRECEDENT UP HERE. BECAUSE WE -- ON THE OTHER SIDE OF 7th ON THE WEST SIDE OF 7th, WE APPROVED ALCOHOL SALES AND AN OUTSIDE PATIO VENUE RIGHT NEXT TO RESIDENTIAL. WE HAVE DONE THAT IN THE PAST IN THE OPPOSITE SIDE. I VOTED AGAINST THAT. >>BILL CARLSON: WITH THAT COMMITMENT OF 1 A.M., I CAN SUPPORT THAT. >>BILL CARLSON: THE OTHER ONE WE GOT THEM TO SHUT AT 10 OR 11. >>LYNN HURTAK: IT WAS 1. 1B A.M. >>BILL CARLSON: MAYBE TALKING OF A DIFFERENT ONE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: FOR ME KNOWING WHAT IS SURROUNDING IT. WHAT SURROUND SOMETHING ARE RESTA RESTAURANTS. AND PASSING 22nd STREET IS KIND OF THE DIVIDING LINE FOR ME AND NOTHING ELSE CLOSES AFTER 10. BEST I WOULD BE WILLING TO GO IS 11:00. I AM NOT OKAY WITH 1 A.M. THIS IS NOT THE CLUB PART OF YBOR, SO I CAN'T SUPPORT ANYTHING THAT -- THAT WOULD BE GREATER THAN 11 P.M. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE? COUNCILMAN MIRANDA? >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AM NOT SAYING I LIKE IT OR DISLIKE IT, BUT I AM THINKING HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU PUT $2.5 MILLION INTO SOMETHING WHEN YOU DIDN'T GET AN APPLICATION FOR A RESTAURANT AND BAR BUT BEFORE YOU SPENT THE MONEY. >> LIKE I SAID, WHEN I FIRST STARTED, WE WEREN'T APRIL WARE OF THE WHOLE PROCESS WITH THE WET ZONING. WE WENT TO THE ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO OFFICE. AND WE ASKED THEM WHAT IS THE CRITERIA BEFORE WE DID ANYTHING. AND THEY TOLD -- NOBODY -- NOBODY MENTIONED US TO ABOUT WET ZONING UNTIL MARCH, WE GOT AN E-MAIL FROM A FELLOW CLUB OWNER DOWN THE STREET. HE SENT US AN E-MAIL AND TOLD US, HEY, DID YOU GET A WET ZONING. THAT IS WHEN WE FOUND OUT ABOUT IT. WE WEREN'T AWARE OF IT, TO BE HONEST. IT IS NOT AN EXCUSE, BUT WE -- I MEAN, OUR REALTORS, OUR LANDLORD, NOBODY MENTIONED TO US ANYTHING ABOUT US. IF THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF CRITERIA, ARCHITECTURE COULD HAVE BROUGHT IT TO OUR ATTENTION. NOBODY BROUGHT IT TO OUR ATTENTION UNTIL MARCH, AND THAT IS WHEN WE APPLIED. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY ELSE? IF NOT, I WILL ASK FOR A MOTION TO CLOSE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION TO CLOSE -- >>BILL CARLSON: JUST REAL FAST. WE HAD DISCUSSIONS OF NOT ALLOWING CONCENTRATIONS OF ALCOHOL. I AM GOING TO GET MORE AND MORE STRICT ABOUT THE 250 RULE AND NOT APPROVE AS MANY OF THEM, AT LEAST PAST 11:00. >> COUNCILMAN, THE REASON WE RESTRICTED TO -- COUNCILMAN, THE REASON FOR THE 51/49 RESTRICTION SO IT WOULDN'T BE PER SIDE AS AN EXTENSION OF A BAR AND CLUB. THAT WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HOW IS IT ENFORCED? >> GOING ON THE SITE PLAN. >> 51% FOOD SALES AND 49% ALCOHOL SALES. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YOU KNEW THAT BEFORE? >> ALCOHOL LICENSE, WHEN YOU READ THE CRITERIA FOR THE TYPE OF LICENSE, IT TELLS YOU THAT YOU HAVE TO SELL 51% FOOD AND 49% ALCOHOL. >> FROM THE BEGINNING HE SAID HE NEVER ANTICIPATED IT BEING A STRAIGHT 4-COP. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I UNDERSTAND THAT AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SOMEBODY PUTS 2.5 MILLION IN A BUILDING AND CAN'T FIND OUT WHAT TO DO. >> I UNDERSTAND THAT, WHEN THEY CALLED ME, I ADVISED THEM -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: JUST SO WE ARE CLEAR. IF WE VOTE ON THIS, THE SITE PLAN IS GOING TO REFLECT THE 51/49 AND THE 1 A.M. CLOSING TIME. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MISS DOCK, IS THAT CORRECT? >>LaCHONE DOCK: A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT NEED CLARIFICATION ON THE RECORD, LaCHONE DOCK, NUMBER ONE, THE NOTE THAT THE - APPLICANT HAS AGREED. IN ADDITION TO THE SITE PLAN REVISIONS IN THE STAFF REPORT, THE ADDITIONAL CHANGES ARE TO ADD A NOTE THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT WILL PROVIDE ANNUAL REPORTING. WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE RESTAURANT DESIGNATION. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MAY I INQUIRE ABOUT THAT, MR. CHAIRMAN. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CITY REMOVED THE REPORTING REQUIREMENT. IS THERE ANY OTHER SPECIAL USE PERMITS THAT HAVE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS STILL ON THEIR SITE PLAN? >>LaCHONE DOCK: THAT REPORTING REQUIREMENT HAS NOT BEEN REMOVED. >>MARTIN SHELBY: SO THEY STILL HAVE TO DO ANNUAL REPORT SOMETHING IN. >>LaCHONE DOCK: YES, ABSOLUTELY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION. >>LaCHONE DOCK: OUR DESIGNATION WITH ALCOHOL BEVERAGE SALES AND OLD WET ZONING IS A CONDITION OF THEIR APPROVAL. THEY MUST REPORT ANNUALLY. >>BILL CARLSON: THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION. >>LaCHONE DOCK: THAT NOTE WILL NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE SITE PLAN. DEVELOPER IS PROVIDED TO MAINTAIN A SECURITY PLAN. THAT LANGUAGE WOULD HAVE TO BE TWEAKED A LITTLE. I WILL WORK WITH THE APPLICANT IN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING SHOULD THIS BE APPROVED AT FIRST READING. ANOTHER NOTE TO BE ADDED TO THE PLAN AND THE CONDITION. THE OTHER IS FOR THE APPLICANT TO STATE WHAT ARE THE HOURS OF OPERATION. BECAUSE I HAVE HEARD DISCUSSION OF DIFFERENT HOURS AND CLOSING TIMES. I WOULD LIKE FOR THEM TO STATE NOW ON THE RECORD WHAT THEIR HOURS ARE. AND THOSE HOURS CAN ONLY BE AMENDED BY NEW APPLICATION AND GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS AGAIN. YOU CAN NOT AMINUTE THE HOURS ADMINISTRATIVELY, JUST SO THE APPLICANT UNDERSTANDS. >> WE ARE REQUESTING THE 1 A.M. CLOSING TIME FOR ALL OF THE DAYS OF THEIR OPERATION. AND ONE THING -- >>LaCHONE DOCK: WHAT DAYS ARE THOSE, PLEASE. >> ONLY TWO DAYS THAT WE ARE GOING TO STAY OPEN UNTIL 1 A.M. IS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THURSDAY WE PROBABLY CLOSE AROUND MIDNIGHT BECAUSE IT IS LINE DANCING LESSONS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. THE RESTAURANT IS OPERATING FROM 11 A.M. UNTIL 11 P.M. AND THE NIGHT THAT WE STAY OPEN UNTIL 1 A.M., THE RESTAURANT WILL STAY OPEN UNTIL 1 A.M. >> SO THE RESTAURANT -- THE RESTAURANT AND THE BUILDING WILL BE OPEN ON -- >>SPEAKER: TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY AT 11 A.M. AND CLOSE AT 11 P.M. THE OTHER TWO NIGHTS THAT WE STAY OPEN UNTIL 1 A.M., THE RESTAURANT WILL STAY OPEN >> THAT WILL BE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. >> FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. BASICALLY THE RESTAURANT WILL CLOSE AT 11 P.M. UNLESS WE ARE STAYING OPEN ON THE MUSIC SIDE UNTIL 1 A.M. IT WILL ALSO STAY OPEN TO THAT TIME. >> LET'S MAKE SURE WE ARE CLEAR. TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY ARE OPEN UNTIL -- THEY CLOSE AT 11:00. THE KITCHEN WILL BE OPEN UNTIL 11:00. WEDNESDAY. >> AT 11. >> TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, 11. AND THURSDAY. >> THURSDAY -- LET'S SAY THURSDAY 1 A.M.

WE CREATED, LIKE, A FAMILY-STYLE BRUNCH. FUN WITH GAMES AND STUFF. >> ONE OTHER THING WE NEED TO ADD IS THIS ONLY APPLIES TO THE FIRST FLOOR OF THE BUILDING. AND NOT THE SECOND FLOOR. IT IS A TWO-STORY BUILDING. SO WILL BE RESTRICTED TO THE FIRST FLOOR ONLY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MONDAYS ARE CLOSED. >> MONDAY IS CLOSED, YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OF MISS DOCK? >>MARTIN SHELBY: MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY.

JUST FOR THE SAKE OF THE RECORD, THERE HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE TO CITY COUNCIL. EX-PARTE COMMUNICATIONS. NO VERBAL COMMUNICATION WITH ANY CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. I SEE NOBODY RESPONDING AFFIRMATIVELY. COULD THERE BE A RECEIVE AND FILE FOR THE WRITTEN DOCUMENTS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DO WE HAVE A SECOND. SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN. OPPOSED? COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN. GO AHEAD. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: FILE NU NUMBER ABZ MACHINE 15, LARGE VENUE CONSUMPTION ON PREMISE MAKING LAWFUL OF THE SALE OF BEVERAGES, BEER, WINE AND LIQUOR ON THAT CERTAIN, LOT, PLOT OR TRACT OF LAND EAST 7th AVENUE PROVIDING THAT ALL ORDINANCE AND PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT ARE REPEALED. PROVIDED A EFFECTIVE DATE WITH SITE PLAN CHANGES BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DO WE HAVE A SECOND? DO WE HAVE A SECOND? IS THERE A SECOND? THE MOTION FAILS FOR LACK OF A SECOND. COUNCILMAN CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: I KNOW THAT -- I KNOW THAT -- BUT I WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO STAY OPEN UNTIL 11:00 EACH NIGHT. I KNOW THAT IS NOT WHAT THE APPLICANT WANTS, BUT IF IT GETS REJECTED COMPLETELY, HE IS STUCK WITH THIS INVESTMENT WITHOUT NO LICENSE. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MARTIN SHELBY, I WILL DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO THE STAFF REPORT FOR THIS CASE AND ALL ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SPECIAL USES, 27-129, THE GENERAL STANDARDS. THAT IS YOUR CRITERIA, ONE THROUGH FIVE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DECIDE OF COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. ALSO WITH REGARD TO WHAT COUNCI COUNCILMEMBER CARSON STATED, IF YOU LOOK AT -- IF YOU LOOK ON PAGE 4, SUBSECTIONS B, NUMBER 7, CONTROL OF POTENTIALLY ADVERSE EFFECTS GENERALLY AND IN ADDITION TO CONSIDERATION OF DETAILED ELEMENTS INDICATED ABOVE IS APPROPRIATE TO THE APPROPRIATE CLASSO OR KIND OF SPECIAL USE AND TECH CASE, DUE CONSIDERATION SHALL BE GIVEN TO POTENTIALLY ADVERSE EFFECTS GENERALLY ON ADJOINING AND NEARBY PROPERTY, THE AREA, THE CITY OR THE USE OR OCCUPANCY WITH THE LOCATION, DESIGN, CHARACTER, SCALE OR MANNER OF OPERATION. WHERE SUCH POTENTIALLY SUCH ADVERSE EFFECTS WILL BE FOUND, CONSIDERATION FOR SPECIAL REMEDIAL MEASURES APPROPRIATE IN THE PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE CASE INCLUDING SCREENING, BUFFERING, LANDSCAPING, CONTROL OF MANER OR HOURS OF OPERATION, ALTERCATION OF DESIGN OF CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS RELOCATION, ETC., ETC. IF THAT IS SOMETHING -- IF YOU WISH TO REOPEN THE HEARING, MAKE INQUIRY AND SEE WHAT THE -- WHAT THE APPLICANT WISHES TO DO. JUST A REMINDER, COUNCIL -- AND FORGIVE ME THAT I DIDN'T DO THIS AT THE BE BEGINNING BUT WE DID MENTION THIS THE LAST REGULAR MEETING. PER COUNCIL RULES, NO REQUEST FOR A CONTINUOUS SHALL BE GRANTED AT A QUASI JUDICIAL HEARING AFTER THE PETITIONER COMPLETED THEIR PRESENTATION UNLESS DETERMINED BY CITY COUNCIL IT IS NECESSARY FOR PURPOSES OF PROCEDURAL. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WILL SECOND THE MOTION TO REOPEN. >>LUIS VIERA: I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO REOPEN. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: A MOTION TO REOPEN THE HEARING. COUNCILMAN CARLSON. SECONDED FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPOSED? THE HEARING IS REOPENED. CARLSON I KNOW IT IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT, BUT I WOULD SUPPORT A MOTION UNTIL 11 P.M., WHICH IS MAYBE BETTER THAN NOTHING. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IS THERE ANY THOUGHT ON THAT, COUNCILMAN VIERA. >>LUIS VIERA: YEAH, I AM GLAD COUNCILMAN CARLSON SAID THAT. I WAS THINKING ALONG THE SAME LINES. AND MAYBE IF YOU GUYS NEED -- IF YOU DON'T THINK PUBLICLY, SO TO SPEAK. BUT A DECISION TO MAYBE STEP OUTSIDE FOR TEN MINUTES AND WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT ONE. JUST A THOUGHT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WANT TO SAY THE NATURE OF THIS TYPE OF A VENUE. THEY HAVE A RESTAURANT AND A CONCERT VENUE. IF THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE PERFORMANCES, I DON'T KNOW OF ANYBODY THAT CAN CLOSE DOWN A PERFORMANCE BY 11 P.M. YOU CAN'T GO DOWN TO THE STRAZ AND CLOSE DOWN -- >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: FRA FRANKIE VALLI. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YEAH, YANKEE VALLI. PROHIBITIVELY EARLY FOR A CONCERT VENUE. >>BILL CARLSON: THE PROBLEM JUST SO THE APPLICANT KNOWS THIS GOES WITH THE LAND. AND SO YOU MAY BE A GREAT OPERATOR, THE PROBLEM IS THAT SOMEBODY ELSE MIGHT COME IN AND DO SOMETHING THAT IS NOT SO GREAT. AND WE HAVE TO THINK AHEAD OF THE ENTITLEMENT. >> I THINK THE RESTRICTION FOR THE 51/49 WEIGHS HEAVY ON ANY ESTABLISHMENT NOT BECOMING SOMETHING THAT IS OBNOXIOUS. YOU KNOW IT IS A SELF-IMPOSED REQUEST FOR THAT RESTRICTION. SO PERHAPS CONSIDER THAT FOR THOSE OTHER NIGHTS, PARTICULARLY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT, IS THERE ANY CONSIDERATION FOR A LITTLE BIT LATER TIME ON THOSE MEETS? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN VIERA. >> 11:30. >> OUR BUSINESS HINGES ON THE -- THE RENT IN YBOR IS SUPER HIGH. I MEAN, IT'S 50 K A MONTH. AND OVERHEAD CLOSING AT 11 P.M. IS GOING TO BE -- WE ARE GOING TO JUST BE THERE BREAKING EVEN EVERY MONTH. AND IT IS GOING TO BE HARD TO HAVE -- NOT BE ABLE TO HIRE THE BANDS TO PLAY ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AND MAKE A LITTLE EXTRA MONEY. BUT JUST TO MEET OUR BUSINESS GOALS, YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD TO CLOSE AT 11 P.M. EVERY NIGHT. >> WHEN IS THE EARLIEST YOU CAN SURVIVE AT? >> 1 A.M. IS LIKE -- I MEAN, WE -- WE COMPROMISED TWO HOURS OFF THE NORMAL TIME OF EVERY OTHER ESTABLISHMENT IN YBOR. I KNOW EVERYBODY IS SAYING LIKE WE ARE ON THE DIFFERENT SIDE OF YBOR, BUT FLEX IS RIGHT DOWN THE STREET FROM US. RIGHT NEXT TO COLUMBIA IS A BAR NAMED FLEX. AND THEY STAY OPEN UNTIL 3:00 IN THE MORNING, YOU KNOW. SO I -- I AM NOT TRYING TO BRING EVERYTHING DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT TO THAT AREA. >> THE REASON WE WENT TO THE REAL LENGTHS OF HIRING A SOUND ANALYST AND A SECURITY FIRM SO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NO ADVERSE IMPACTS. WE GREATLY APPRECIATE WHATEVER CONSIDERATION YOU CAN GIVE US FOR A LITTLE BIT LATER ON THE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: I DON'T THINK THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THE COMMUNITY IS TALKING ABOUT WHEN THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT NOISE. THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY TALKING OF NOISE FROM THE ESTABLISHMENT. THEY ARE TALKING OF NOISE WHEN PEOPLE LEAVE THE ESTABLISHMENT. THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE NOISE FROM PARKING LOT AND FROM WALKING TO THE CARS. THAT IS PART OF THE ISSUE. THIS PART OF YBOR. THIS PART OF 7th AVENUE DOES NOT HAVE CLUBS. WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE REST OF YBOR. IF YOU HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO COUNCIL, WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO PULL BACK ON CLUBS ON 7th AVENUE IN YBOR. SO I AM NOT SURE WHERE YOU COME HERE AND THINK THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE OKAY WITH THE 1 A.M. CLOSING WHEN EVEN IN THE REST OF YBOR WE ARE STARTING TO PULL BACK ON THAT. I AM SORRY FOR THE INVESTMENT, BUT THAT'S NOT -- THAT IS NOT MY ISSUE. MY ISSUE HERE IS EVERYTHING ELSE SURROUNDING IT CLOSES AT 10 P.M. AND I THINK 11:00 IS GENEROUS. AND THAT IS WHAT I AM WILLING TO DO. I AM NOT WILLING TO GO ANY FURTHER, AND THAT IS JUST ME. OTHERS MAY FEEL DIFFERENTLY. AND I'M TRYING TO BE IN THE -- IN THE MINORITY, BUT I AM NOT -- I AM NOT GOING TO ENTERTAIN ANYTHING MORE THAN 11 P.M. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MR. SHELBY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: I THINK WHAT COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK JUST IS IT IS SOMETHING I WAS GOING TO SUBJECT OR RAISE OR EXPRESS CONCERN ABOUT IS THAT WHAT SHE DID WAS IN THE RECORD EXPLAINED THE PURPOSE OF THE CONDITION THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO PLACE. AND THE BASIS AND COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE BASED ON EVIDENCE YOU HEARD IN THE RECORD. WHAT I AM SAYING TO YOU IS FINE. THAT IS WELL AND GOOD, BUT TO CONTINUE TO -- I DON'T WANT TO SAY HORSE -- TO CONTINUE TO DO THIS. I DON'T WANT THIS THE RAISE OF THE EX-ANGST SOMETHING THAT I WAS COERCED INTO IT. THERE IS EITHER AN AGREEMENT AND CONSENT OR NOT. >> COUNCIL, COULD YOU JUST GIVE US TEN MINUTES TO GO OUTSIDE AND CONFER, PLEASE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES, COME BACK, AND THEN -- WHEN YOU ARE READY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. . >>BILL CARLSON: HERE -- >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WAIT A MINUTE. >>CLERK: CARLSON. CAP. >>BILL CARLSON: HERE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: HERE. >>LUIS VIERA: HERE. >>GWEN HENDERSON: HERE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HERE. >>CLERK: YOU HAVE A PHYSICAL QUORUM. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HAVE YOU COME TO AN AGREEMENT OR CONCLUSION? >> WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO OPEN MONDAY TO OFFSET SOME OF THE COSTS. SO MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, 11 A.M. TO 11 P.M. WE WANT TO KNOW IF WE CAN DO FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AT MIDNIGHT AND SUNDAY 11 P.M. AND WE TALKED TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION. THEY ARE FOLLOWING SUPPORT US IF WE CLOSE AT MIDNIGHT ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AND SHE CAN COME UP HERE AND SAY SOMETHING. >> CAN THEY COME UP TO SPEAK AT LEAST CONFIRM THAT WE HAD THAT DISCUSSION. >>BILL CARLSON: CAN WE ASK THEM TO SPEAK? >> THE HEARING IS STILL OPEN. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: A FEW SECONDS EACH. YOU ARE SPEAKING IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. >> WE ARE HERE SPEAKING FOR OUR BEHALF BEHALF. JOSE CAYON AND NOT REPRESENTING THE ASSOCIATION. I AM THE TREASURER AND THIS IS THE SECRETARY, BUT WE ARE NOT REPRESENTING THE SOCIAL DISTANCING. THIS IS -- THAT IS WHY WE NEVER MENTIONED IT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL. >> AS AN INDIVIDUAL, THE RESTAURANT IS ALL WE WANT. WE -- I -- MIDNIGHT I PROBABLY WOULD AGREE IF, YOU KNOW. I ALSO FEEL FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE AND EVERYTHING, SO -- ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. BUT THIS IS YOUR DECISION, NOT OURS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: BUT YOU LIVE THERE. >>MARTIN SHELBY: JUST SO -- >>BILL CARLSON: ASK ANOTHER LADY TO SPEAK. >>MARTIN SHELBY: SOMEBODY ELSE. >> DENISE SANSORE. WHILE I -- AS I SAID BEFORE I AM NOT OPPOSED TO THE BUSINESS AND JUST THE HOURS. WE WANT TO MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY. SO I AM FOLLOWING WORK WITH THEM. 11:00 DURING THE WEEK IS FINE. FRIDAY AND SATURDAYS UNTIL MIDNIGHT. I AM OKAY WITH, BUT I WILL GIVE IT BACK TO COUNCIL. SO YOU CAN DECIDE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU, MR. SHELBY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: AS A REMINDER, COUNCIL. THIS FIRST READING AND COME BACK WITH SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING AT WHICH TIME YOU CAN TAKE ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY IF NECESSARY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION TO CHOSE FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA AND SECONDED FROM CLENDENIN. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN, READ IT WITH THE NEW HOURS ON THE SITE PLAN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: AB-24-15.

AB HOURS -- THE AB SALES HOURS ARE CONSISTENT WITH CHAPTER 14. TOTAL REQUIRED PARKING IS 06 SPACES AND 28 SPACES REQUIRED FOR THE SITE. THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED A WAIVER TO THAT STANDARD. I HAVE THE AERIAL ZONING MAP ON THE SCREEN HERE. THE SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED HERE IN RED. THIS IS ON SOUTH MacDILL BETWEEN WEST SAN JOSE STREET TO THE NORTH AND WEST PALMYRA AVENUE TO THE SOUTH THIS IS SOUTH MacDILL. OTHER COMMERCIAL GENERAL ZONED SITES HERE. THE APPLICANT HAS A AB SALES APPROVAL FOR SMALL VENUE WITH THE SALE OF BEER AND WINE FOR CONSUMPTION ON PREMISES AND PACKAGE SALES. THE REQUEST WILL ALLOW THE ABILITY TO SELL LIQUOR FOR THE RESTAURANT USE. THIS IS THE SITE PLAN. YOU CAN SEE THE PROPERTY BOUNDARY HERE. THIS IS THE BUILDING HERE. IT HAS OTHER COMMERCIAL USES AN PROPOSED AND CURRENT AB SALES AREA AND THE PARKING TO THE WEST. I HAVE PICTURES ALSO TO SHOW. THIS IS A PHOTO LOOKING AT THE SUBJECT SITE. SOUTH MacDILL. THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE PARKING LOT TO THE NORTH OF THE BUILDING. HERE IS A PHOTO LOOKING NORTH ON SOUTH MacDILL. THIS IS A TOWANDA ANTHONY LOOKING SOUTH ON MacDILL. HERE IS A PICTURE FROM ACROSS THE STREET. THERE ARE OTHER COMMERCIAL USES AND ANOTHER PHOTO OF THE -- OF THE COMMERCIAL USES ACROSS THE STREET. DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION AND COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE APPLICATION, AND FOUND THE APPLICATION INCONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. THIS -- THERE IS ONE WAIVER THAT WAS REQUESTED RELATING TO THE DISTANCE SEPARATION FROM OTHER AB SALES ESTABLISHMENTS. MINOR SITE PLAN MODIFICATIONS ARE REQUIRED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING AND I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH,ER IS. APPLICANT, COME ON UP. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. COLIN, RICE. WITH THE FIRM OF LUNDY. STORY BINGHAM BEHIND ME. THEY HAVE BEEN OPERATING HERE SINCE 2010. I WILL TRY TO BE BRIEF TONIGHT. I KNOW IT HAS BEEN A LONG DAY. BUT IN SHORT, WE ARE SEEKING TO ADD LIQUOR SALES TO AN ESTABLISHED RESTAURANT SPACE. AGAIN ESTABLISHED IN 2010. LAST MODIFIED IN 2012. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT NO PACKAGE LIQUOR -- NO PACKAGED LIQUOR IS PROPOSED. CURRENTLY PACKAGED WINE HAPPENING THAT IS PROPOSED TO CONTINUE BUT IN A SLIGHTLY MODIFIED WAY WHICH I WILL SHOW YOU SHORTLY. SO TO ORIENT YOU, WE ARE IN SOUTH TAMPA AS LEO HAD DEPICTED. ON SOUTH MacDILL NORTH OF BAY TO BAY. SO THIS IS DUE NORTH HERE. AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE. YOU SEE THE ESTABLISHED COMMERCIAL CENTER, THE PARKING AREA, AND MacDILL HERE. SO ZOOMING IN ON THE SITE PLAN, I HAVE ADDED RED LABELS TO SHOW WHAT WE ARE WITH. A BIT OF A UNIQUE SITE. EVERYTHING HERE IS A WET ZONE. PHARMACY. NOT SERVING ALCOHOL AND INCLUDED IN THE PRIOR WET ZONING. NOTHING OF THEIR USE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO CHANGE. THEY ARE NOT SERVING. WE HAVE THE CREW'S CELLAR RESTAURANT SPACE WITH INDOOR AND OUTSIDE AREA. WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING -- I AM SURE COUNCIL CAN APPRECIATE THERE ARE MANY ALCOHOL APPROVALS AND STATE AND LOCAL HAVE TO BE COMPATIBLE. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE. PROPOSING TO ADD LIQUOR SERVICE FOR RESTAURANT PATE REASON TOS -- AGAIN, NOT PACKAGE, EASE SLATED RETAIL COMPONENT TO THIS CORNER WHICH IS 300 SQUARE FEET. THAT WAY WE CAN HAVE THE APPROPRIATE STATE APPROVAL. WE ARE NOT ADDING ONE INCH OF SALES AREA. TO SPEAK TO THE WAIVERS, THERE WERE FOUR -- EXCUSE ME -- LET ME MAKE SURE I AM NOT MISSPEAKING, FOUR PRIOR APPROVED WAIVERS. WAIVERS ARE IDENTICAL EXCEPT THAT BECAUSE CROUP BECAME SO POPULAR AND EVERYBODY WANTED TO MOVE IN THIS AREA, THE BT RESTAURANT ACROSS THE STREET. THE SAME WAIVER, DISTANCE ACCEPT OPERATION AB ESTABLISHMENTS AND A RESTAURANT THAT IS CLOSER. THAT IS NOW 75 FEET INSTEAD OF 187 FEET. WE HELD A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING. THIS IS WAY BACK IN JULY. THIS WAS DUE TO THE HURRICANE AS I AM SURE A NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS TONIGHT WERE -- WE HEARD FROM NOBODY WITH ANY COMMENTS, OPPOSITION OR OTHERWISE, SO WE FEEL AS THOUGH WE HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED AND THIS IS A MINOR FIX. AND AN UPDATE GIVEN MARKET CONDITIONS AND CONSUMER TASTES TO REFLECT THE NEEDS FOR 2024 AND BEYOND. SO TO CONCLUDE, YOU KNOW CREW'S CELLAR IS A COMMUNITY ANCHOR. THEY HAVE BEEN GOOD NEIGHBORS. A MINOR TWEAK INNING A GRE GAPT SO PEOPLE ENJOYING THE RESTAURANT HAVE A BROADER ARRAY OF BEVERAGE OPTIONS CRUCIAL TO THE SURVIVABILITY TO THE VERY LOW MARGIN INDUSTRIES. IT IS AN IMPORTANT FEATURE TO HELP OUR FRIENDS PROLIFERATE INTO THE FUTURE. SO WITH THAT, I WILL CLOSE. I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S TIME AND CONSIDERATION AND REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL TIME. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM? >>LYNN HURTAK: I JUST WANT TO SAY I APPRECIATE HOW YOU ARE NARROWING THE FOCUS OF THE SALES AREA. BECAUSE THIS RUNS WITH THE LAND. IF GIVES US LESS CONCERN ABOUT THIS BECOMING A PACKAGE STORE IN THE FUTURE. I HOPE OTHERS LISTEN TO THAT.

IT'S OKAY, MA'AM. I UNDERSTAND. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS? ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK? COME UP AND, YES, SIR. YES, MA'AM. >> MY NAME IS JENNETTE YATES. MY HUSBAND AND I OWN THE TWO BUILDINGS JUST WEST OF THIS VENUE. AND I WANT TO CORRECT THAT WE HAVE THE RAILROAD DIRECTLY BEHIND US. BUT ACROSS THE RAILROAD, ALL KINDS OF RESIDENTIAL. WHEN THEY WERE SPEAKING OF AN OUTDOOR VENUE, THAT MEANS A ROOFTOP THAT THEY PUT ON THE TOP OF THEIR BUILDING. IT BLARES -- I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS PERMITTED -- I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS STRUCTURALLY SOUND TO HAVE A ROOFTOP, BUT THE MUSIC BLARES. AND I HAVE A REAL ESTATE OFFICE THAT HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 48 YEARS RIGHT NEXT DOOR. I HAVE PEOPLE COMING IN SATURDAY, SUNDAYS, EVENINGS WHERE WE ARE DOING BUSINESS. I OBJECT ALREADY TO THE -- I THINK THAT WITH THE CHAMBERLAIN HIGH SCHOOL BEING LESS THAN A BLOCK AWAY. YOU GOT KIDS OUT -- ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO THERE WAS A STUDENT KILLED RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR OFFICES. THEY WALK. AND I BELIEVE IT IS HAZARDOUS. IT IS MORE HAZARDOUS WITH PEOPLE COMING OUT BEING DRUNK. THEY ARE TOO CLOSE TO THE HIGH SCHOOL. THIS IS MOSTLY BUSINESS AREA. BUSCH BOULEVARD IS ALREADY HEAVILY TRAVELED. AND I THINK THIS WILL JUST MAKE IT EVEN MORE HAZARDOUS. OUR BUILDINGS ARE SEVEN FEET APA APART. WE FOUND BOTTLES, BEER BOTTLE ON OUR ROOF. THE ROOFS ARE SEVEN FEET APART. AND THE MORE ALCOHOL THEY DRINK, THE WORSE IT IS GOING TO GET. I OBJECT TO HAVING THE BEER BOTTLES THROWN ON TO MY ROOF. I QUESTION THE PARKING. EVEN WITH THAT SMALL LOT, IT IS NOT ■GOING TO BE SUFFICIENT. IN THE PAST, WHEN THEY HAD AN EVENT, THEY FILLED UP BOTH THE PARKING AT MY BUILDING AND MY BUILDING NEXT DOOR, OKAY. THERE IS NOT SUFFICIENT PARKING THERE TO HAVE A BIG PARTY. I AM GOING TO LET MY HUSBAND SPEAK. AND SEE WHAT HE HAS TO SAY. BUT I OBJECT TO ALCOHOL BEING SOLD AT THIS VENUE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES, SIR. PLEASE COME UP. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> CARL YATES. I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS, YOU KNOW, POINTS THAT EVEN THIS EVENING I AM PICKING UP DEBRIS FROM THEIR ROOFTOP VENUE. YOU KNOW IT IS -- IT WASN'T PUT TOGETHER VERY WELL STRUCTURALLY, SO I CAN'T REAL LLY SPEAK TO TH. I CAN SPEAK TO THE FACT I HAVE PICKING UP THINGS THROWN FROM THEIR ROOFTOP OVER ON OUR ROOFTOP AND IN BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS. AND IT IS -- IT IS AN AREA WHERE WE HAVE HOMELESS PEOPLE SOMETIMES THAT HANG OUT IN THERE AS WELL. AND -- SO IT KIND OF DREW A DIFFERENT CROWD TO THAT AREA. BUT HAVING THE HIGH SCHOOL CLOSE BY IS ALSO A CONCERN TO ME TOO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANYONE ELSE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK? IF NOT, IF THE APPLICANT WOULD LIKE TO COME UP. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD. ANY REBUTTAL? >> YES, SIR. I UNDERSTAND THEIR CONCERN REGARDING THE HIGH SCHOOL. AND I THINK THAT IS MORE THAN 1,000 FEET AWAY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I THINK. AND I -- I REALLY NEVER SEEN ANYONE WALK THAT WAY. REGARDING THEM SAYING WE HAVE THROWN THINGS ON THEIR ROOF. I NEVER -- THERE IS NO SALES. I MEAN THERE HAS NEVER BEEN -- WE HAVEN'T OPENED, IN OTHER WORDS. WE DO HAVE A CHURCH THAT HAD REUNIONS BEFORE. MAYBE THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE SPEAKING OF? BUT WE DO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH HOMELESS. AND WE HAVE BOTH HAD THAT ISSUE, HERSELF AND I. REGARDING -- I DON'T KNOW, I DID HAVE HER APPROACH ME -- OR SOMEONE FROM HER REALTOR ASK IF THEY COULD RENT OUR AREA. LIKE I SAID, I DON'T KNOW. THE HURRICANE DID CAUSE A LOT OF DEBRIS ON HER SEED, BUT MOSTLY WE HAVE PICKED UP EVERYTHING. MOSTLY -- THE WHOLE AREA BEHIND US WE HAVE FIXED AND TAKEN CARE OF ALL THE TREES BACK THERE. ALL CLEANED. LIKE I SAID, I DON'T -- I APOLOGIZE IF SHE SAID WE THREW SOMETHING ON THERE, BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANY BEER BOTTLES. WE ARE NOT OPEN. I BELIEVE THAT IS THE HOMELESS PEOPLE WE HAD ISSUES WITH BACK THERE. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: ANY MUSIC AT ANY TIME? >> SO SORRY, SIR? >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: ANY MUSIC AT ANY TIME? >> WE HAD ISSUES WITH THE MUSIC BECAUSE THERE IS A CHURCH DOWN THERE. THERE IS A CHURCH. AND THEY DO GATHERINGS AND THEY DO FESTIVE STUFF. AND THEY DO PUT MUSIC ON ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAYS AND I THINK WEDNESDAYS THEY HAVE GATHERINGS. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YOU KNOW WHAT TIME THE MUSIC ENDS? >> I DON'T KNOW, SIR. LIKE I SAID, SOMETIMES THEY ARE THERE UNTIL 11:00. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I JUST LIKE -- LIKE TO GET A DEFINITE TIME TO CLOSE THE MUSIC IF YOU WANT THE ALCOHOL. THAT IS JUST WITH ME -- >> THE DEFINITE TIME TO CLOSE THE MUSIC? IS MIDNIGHT? IS MIDNIGHT OKAY, SIR? I AM WILLING TO -- LIKE I SAID, WE WOULD OPEN JUST UNTIL MIDNIGHT OR 11:00 DURING THE WEEK. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YOU GOT TO TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH THE MUSIC AND WHAT TIME YOU WANT TO STOP IT. >> I CAN STOP THE MUSIC AT NOON -- MIDNIGHT, I AM SORRY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, DO YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING ELSE? >>LYNN HURTAK: NO, I THINK THAT IS FINE. >> IT IS ALL COMMERCIAL AREA, SIR. THE OFFICE IS CLOSED -- >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: LET ME FINISH. >> OKAY, SIR. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YOU ARE UPPING ANOTHER FLOOR, THE WIND PICKS UP THE MUSIC AND TAKES IT A LONG, LONG WAY. >> IT ECHOS, SIR, I UNDERSTAND. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: FOOTBALL OR BASEBALL STADIUM ENCLOSED AND YOU CAN HEAR THE MUSIC FIVE MILES AWAY. BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU. >> THE MUSIC WILL BE IN THE EVENINGS WHEN ALL THE OFFICES ARE CLOSED IN THE AREA, SIR. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AM NOT DISPUTING THAT.

THE LOCATION IS CURRENTLY OPERATED AS A RECREATIONAL FACILITY, A PRIVATE RECREATIONAL FACILITY. THE SHRINER'S LOCATION. THE AB SALES REQUESTED THE INDOOR AREA 25,317 SQUARE FEET. OUTDOOR AREA 12,948. FOR A TOTAL AB SALES AREA OF 38,265 SQUARE FEET. THE HOURS ARE CONSISTENT WITH CHAPTER 14. TOTAL OF 225 SPACES ARE REQUIRED AND 158 SPACES ARE PROVIDED. SO THIS LOCATION HAS CURRENT AB SALES APPROVAL. IT WAS APPROVED IN 2023. AND IT WAS UNDER AB 22-23-03 FOR A LARGE VENUE CLASSIFICATION, BEER, WINE AND LIQUOR, CONSUMPTION ON PREMISE ONLY. THIS WHY BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING WILL ALLOW THAT ABILITY FOR PACKAGE SALES. IN ADDITION, IT ADDS AN ADDITIONAL OUTDOOR SALES AREA TO THE REQUEST. SO THIS IS THE SITE. AND WE CAN JUST ZOOM OUT JUST A LITTLE BIT. YOU CAN SEE THE SITE IS OUTLINEDED IN RED. THIS IS WASHINGTON STREET. THIS IS SOUTH 50th STREET. SOME THIS IS THE LOCATION OF THE SITE. THE RED ACTUALLY EXTENDS BEYOND THAT -- NOT CORRECT. IT REALLY SHOULD BE THIS YELLOW LINE HERE. THE EASTERN BOUNDARY. BUT THE FACILITY, YOU CAN SEE, OF COURSE, IS BUILT -- IT IS IN OPERATION CURRENTLY. THERE IS AN OUTDOOR AREA THAT IS LOCATED IN THE REAR. THIS WOULD EXTEND THAT OUTDOOR AREA FURTHER TO THE EAST. YOU CAN SEE IT HAS THE CI ZONING ON THE PROPERTY. THIS IS THE SITE PLAN WHICH WAS SUBMITTED WITH THAT REQUEST. SO THIS IS WASHINGTON STREET. YOU CAN ENTER THE SITE ON WASHINGTON, AND THEN THE SURFACE PARKING IS JUST IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING. THIS IS THE OUTDOOR AREA WHICH HAS BEEN ADDED TO THIS REQUEST. BUT THE AB SALES AREA IS OUTLINED ON THE DARK ITEM ON THE SITE PLAN. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE SITE. SO THIS IS THE VIEW OF THE SITE ON WASHINGTON. THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW THAT SHOWS THE PARKING. ANOTHER VIEW, THIS IS THE PARKING THAT IS IN FRONT OF THE SITE LOOK TOWARD THE COMMERCIAL TOWARD 50th. THIS IS THE VIEW LOOKING EAST TO WASHINGTON. THE SITE IS OFF TO THE RIGHT OF THIS PICTURE. THIS IS NORTH ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PARCEL. THIS IS ALSO NORTH AS IF YOU ARE LOOKING WEST FROM WASHINGTON. AND THIS IS WEST OF THE SITE AT 50th STREET. FINDS THE REQUEST INCONSISTENT. THERE ARE SITE PLAN MODIFICATIONS TO BE MADE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. AND I AM AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS? IS THERE AN APPLICANT? JAMIE MAIER. YES, MA'AM. >> JAMIE MAIER OF HILL WARD HENDERSON. TWEET 3700, I HAVE BEEN SWORN. OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE FACT YOU HAD A 12-HOUR DAY AS OF ABOUT NOW, I AM GOING TO BREEZE THROUGH MY SLIDES. AS MISS DOCK EXPLAINED, THIS IS THE GENT SHRINE CENTER AND MEMBERS OF COUNCIL WHO SEEN US COME BEFORE YOU IN 2021 AND 2023. A LONG PROCESS TO GET THIS SITE BUILT. THEY FINISHED CONSTRUCTING IT AND OPENED DURING COVID. SO THEY STARTED KIND OF IN PHASES. ALSO HAVE TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT IT IS NONPROFIT AND CAN'T GET THEIR FUNDING AT ONE TIME. THEY SPACE THINGS OUT AND THEN THEY FINALLY GOT TO FINISH THEIR PATIO IN 2023 AND AN EVENT LAWN THAT I WILL SHOW YOU A PHOTO IN A MINUTE TO ADD TO THE AB AREA. PACKAGE SALES AND I WANT TO CLARIFY -- FOR THEM IT IS FOR CHARITY AUCTIONS, FUND RAISING AND EVENT THAT MAY BE SELLING CHAMPAGNE, BOTTLES OF PINE. NOT A STORE. BUT PACKAGE SALES TO HAVE THESE BOTTLES SOLD AT CHARITY AUCTIONS AND EVENTS SO PEOPLE CAN LEAVE WITH THEM. >> AS MISS DOCK ALREADY STATED THE EXISTING AB AREA THE WHOLE FIRST FLOOR OF THAT STRUCTURE BECAUSE MULTIPLE ROOMS, EVENT ROOMS RENTED FOR WEDDINGS AND ALL KIND OF CHARITY EVENTS. THE ADDITIONAL AREA I HIGHLIGHTED WITH A LITTLE YELLOW THERE. THAT IS THE EVENT LAWN THEY JUST FINISHED THAT WILL BE ADJACENT TO AND CONTINUOUS WITH THE OUTDOOR PATIO. AND THAT IS THE THE ADDITION IS 5400 FEET. THIS FOR CONTEXT, THIS IS THAT WHOLE 14,000-SQUARE-FOOT ARIR * AREA OF OUTDOOR ELSE AND THE EVENT LAWN AS YOU CAN SEE IS MORE GEARED TOWARD LUXURY ELEVATED KIND OF EVENTS WEDDINGS. JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU LITTLE CONTEXT ABOUT THE INTERIOR. THEY HAVE A LOT OF SPACE SO THEY CAN HOST A WIDE VARIETY OF EVENTS. I WILL NOTE THISES AS THEIR HEADQUARTERS AND OFFICES THAT ARE NOT WET ZONED AND A SIGNIFICANT SOURCE OF FUNDING FOR THEIR CHARITABLE WORKS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE THEY ARE NONPROFIT. SO HAVING THIS EVENT CENTER. THEY USED TO HAVE ONE IN DANA SHORES A SIMILAR CONCEPT, A LARGE INDOOR, OUTDOOR. AND A HUGE SOURCE OF THEIR FUNDING WHEN THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO KEEP THAT BUILDING, THEY BUILT THIS ONE. STAFF FOUND INCONSISTENT FOR THE WAIVERS THAT YOU SEE WITH MANY OF THESE APPLICATIONS. WE DID PREVIOUSLY HAVE A WAIVER APPROVED FOR 158 SPACES. PARKING LOT IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE AND THEY HAVE AN ARRANGEMENT WITH THE ADJACENT MARATHON GAS STATION. THEY HAVE A VERY LARGE OPEN AREA WHERE THEY CAN PARK OVERFLOW, IF NEEDED. THEY NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE PARKING, BUT THEY HAVE SOME OVERFLOW AREA AND A VERY LARGE PARKING LOT. THEY NEVER HAD AN ISSUE OR ANY COMPLAINT OF ANYONE USING. THE MARATHON GAS STATION IS THE SITE THAT THEY NEED A WAIVER FROM BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALCOHOL SALES WITH A CONVENIENCE STORE. WITH THAT, I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS AND RESPECTFULLY REQUEST COUNCIL'S APPROVAL. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS?

WITH ME HERE THIS EVENING IS AL RODGERS THE CONTRACT PURCHASER OF THIS BUILDING ALONG WITH MAUREEN AROL THE CURRENT OWNER OF THE BUILDING. BOTH WILL SPEAK AND WILL GO IN THAT ORDER. WE KNOW WHERE THIS IS, THE FERRIS BUILDING. HALL AND FRANKLIN. THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF FRANKLIN AND HENDERSON, RIGHT SMACK-DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE YELLOW BRICK ROW DOOR DOOR WITH FRANKLIN STREET. THIS IS WHAT IS THERE TODAY. I WANT TO WALK THROUGH VERY CAREFULLY WHAT IS ALLOWED AND I WILL TALK ABOUT WHAT WE ARE SEEKING .WHAT IS ALLOWED TODAY IS BEER, WINE AND LIQUOR SALES ON THE ENTIRETY OF THE FIRST FLOOR. ABOUT 8,000 SQUARE FEET. BAR, LOUNGE USE IN PARTICULAR. AND SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, YOU CAN OPEN FROM 7 P.M. TO 1 A.M. THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, OPEN FROM 7 P.M. TO 3 A.M. AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT HOW THAT CAME UP. I WILL GIVE YOU A HINT. RELATES TO PARKING. MANY YEARS PRIOR TO MAUREEN ACQUIRING THE BUILDING. RIGHT NOW WET ZONED FROM 7 P.M. TO 1 A.M. AND 7 P.M. TO 3 A.M. ON THE WEEKEND NIGHTS. WHAT WE ARE SEEKING TO WET ZONE THE SECOND FLOOR TO ACCOMMODATE A WET ZONING -- TO ACCOMMODATE AN EVENT VENUE RATHER THAN CHANGING FROM BAR-LOUNGE USE, IS A LARGE-EVENTUAL RUE RESTAURANT. PRETTY MUCH 8,000-SQUARE-INTO THE SPACE. TOO MUCH SPACE TO HAVE A SINGLE CONCEPT. TOO DIFFICULT TO OPERATE AND COVER THE PREMISE WITH THE SUNGLE LARGE VENUE CATEGORIZATION. WE WANT TO OPEN AT 7 P.M. RIGHT NOW THIS IS TAILOR-MADE TO FUNCTION AS NIGHT CLUB AND ONLY A NIGHT CLUB ONLY. THE ARE REASON FOR THAT, WHEN THIS WAS FIRST APPROVED YOU COULDN'T PARK IT. IN 1920, THEY DIDN'T BUILD A PARKING GARAGE BUT IT WAS FULL OF CARS BECAUSE IT WAS AS CAR DEALERSHIP. ONLY TIME THAT PARKING WAS AVAILABLE IN THE PEREMPTORY OF THIS BUILDING WITH THE WET ZONE WITH THE OFFICE BUILDINGS NEARBY AND DIDN'T EMPTY OUT IN UNTIL 7 P.M. A WEIRD ORDER OF EFFECTS WITH ZONING REGULATIONS, PARKING, AND THINGS LIKE. WHAT YOU SEE ON SCREEN IS WHAT WE ARE SEEKING. PRESERVE THE HOURS. MAXIMUM HOURS. NOT MINIMUM HOURS PLACES OF THE VICINITY. MEAT MEATERY, ARMATURE WORKS. THEY HAVE HOURS BUT DON'T USE THEM ALL THE TIME. IMPORTANT TO NOTE. ON THE COMMITMENT FRONT, NO OUTDOOR AM POPLIFIED SOUND AT A THERE ARE LIMITED OPPORTUNITY FOR OUTDOOR SEATING. YOU COULD -- AND WE WILL HAVE A SIDEWALK CAFE TO GET PROBABLY ONE ROW OF SEATS ALONG THE SIDEWALK. A VACATED ALLEY BEHIND THE SITE WHICH IS CURRENTLY SUBJECT TO AN EASEMENT THAT COULD PROBABLY CHANGE AND MAYBE FIT SEATS IN THE BACK. DOES NOT LEND ITSELF TO SURFACE LEVEL OUTDOOR. WE ARE PROPOSING A PROHIBITION ON OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND. THERE HAS BEEN CONCERNS WITH ROOFTOP PLACES IN TAMPA HEIGHTS, PROHIBITING COMMERIAL USE OF THE ROOFTOP. IT WOULD BE AWESOME CANDIDLY. HAS A GREAT VIEW. THE VIEW SHED IS LIMITED TO THE SOUTH. NO TALLER BUILDINGS, BUT WE ARE -- WE ARE WE THINK THIS IS PAN IMPORTANT THING TO HIT IT COMMIT TO. WE ARE NOT GOING TO COMMERCIALIZE THE ROOFTOP. THAT IS IN THE REVISION SHEET, THE SUPPLEMENTAL REVISION SHEET IF WE ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE A MOTION FOR SUPPORT, MAKE SURE THAT IS PART OF ANY MOTION WE MIGHT GET. NOT CHANGING THE WEEKDAY HOURS PAST 1 A.M. MAXIMUM. THIS IS TAMPA HEIGHTS WHERE PEOPLE MEETING OFF SHIFT, TAMPA GENERAL. WE WANT IT TO BE A PEOPLE WHERE PEOPLE CAN COME LATER IN THE EVENING. NOT TO MAKE THIS HUGE LOCUST OF NIGHT LIFE. BUT PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT SCHEDULE AND HAVING A PLACE TO GRAB A BITE TO EAT AFTER 11 P.M. IN A CITY WHAT TAMPA IS BECOME SOMETHING A REASONABLE THING TO OFFER GIVEN THE INVESTMENT GOING INTO FRANKLIN STREET. I KNOW THERE ARE SOME HIS HISTORY BUFFFS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PODIUM. BRIM BY A GENTLEMAN NAMED FRED FERRIS. IF YOUR NAME IS FRED FERRIS AND THE 1920s AND SELL CARS, PROBABLY ONLY ONE BRAND YOU CAN SELL IS FORD. IT IS FRED FAR REFORD IN THE MID-1930s. FERRIS BUILDING. PAINSTAKING AMOUNT OF WORK SHE WENT TO REVITALIZE THIS BUILDING. TO LANDMARK IT. TO PRESERVE IT FOR -- NEVER GOING TO GO AWAY. YOU NEVER ARE GOING TO SEE MULTIFAMILY ON TOP OF THIS. THIS IS THE BUILDING AND THE LAND IS EXPENSIVE. WE NEED TO FIND FLEXIBLE WAYS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN MAKE MONEY AT THE BUILDING, AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHY WE ARE HERE TO GET RID OF THE NIGHT CLUB ONLY WET ZONING. SINCE THIS WET ZONING FIRST GOT APPROVED, THIS -- THIS -- SOME OF YOU, THIS COUNCIL AND SOME OF YOUR PREDECESSORS, A LOT OF MULTIFAMILY UNITS APPROVED IN THE AREA. IF YOU ADD ALL THE NUMBERS, 1952. SOME OF THOSE ARE BUILT LIKE THE PEARL, 314 UNITS. OTHER ONES LIKE THE YMCA, 477 UNITS .THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT, BUT THE 321 UNITS, RAPIDLY GOING TO COMPLETION. PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THESE APARTMENTS WANT PLACE TO EAT. P NIGHTCLUB. INTEREST OF IT BEING A NIGHTCLUB. THAT IS NOT THE PREFERENCE AND NOT WILL BE BEST FOR FRANKLIN STREET GIVEN THE INVESTMENT WITH THE CITY AND --CRA HATS TO PUT REAL MONEY BEHIND THE REAL WORK THAT THE TAMPA DOWNTOWN PARTNERSHIP AND CRA AND MAUREEN WHO DESERVE AS TON OF CREDIT WHO SAW THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVITALIZE. HIDDEN SPRINGS. GREAT. REALTO, YOU NEED A CATALYTIC. HALL AND FRANKLIN AND HAD ISSUES, GROUP THAT WILL REVITALIZE LIST. WILL SPEAK TO THAT POINT. BUT THE EXTENT. I WOULD LIKE AL TO SPEAK NOW WHAT HE WOULD LIKE TO DO. A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HIM AND MAUREEN WILL CLOSE TO TALK ABOUT HER EXPERIENCES, UPS AND DOWNS WITH THIS PROPERTY. THANKS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME, SIR. >> MY NAME IS AL RODGERS. I LIVE AT 922 GULFVIEW. GOOD EVENING. UP KNOW YOU ARE TIRED. I AM TOO. I AM UNDER CONTRACT TO ACQUIRE THE FARRIS BUILDING AT 1701 NORTH FRANKLIN AND THRILLED OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO RESTORE AND REVITALIZE A HISTORIC BUILDING IN A CORRIDOR WE ALL BELIEVE NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE. BEFORE TALKING OF MY PLANS, I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY BACKGROUND. FIRST OF ALL, I AM NOT A REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER. I HAVE BEEN A BANKER FOR 35 YEARS. I ARRIVED IN TAMPA IN 1988. AND BEGAN MY CAREER AS A REAL ESTATE LENDER AT FIRST UNION. IN 1998 ALONG WITH JOE CHILLURA JOINED MANUFACTURERS BANK HEADQUARTERED AT LAKE AVENUE AND ARMENIA. WE SOLD THAT BANK TO COLONIAL, AND AFTER WORKING FOR THE ACQUIRING BANK, WE STARTED A NEW LOCAL COMMUNITY BANK NA NAMED US AMERIBANK. FROM 20067 FOR TED YEARS, WE GREW THAT BY LENDING OVER $5 BILLION TO LOCAL BUSINESSES AND BUILDERS AND DEVELOPERS BEFORE MERGING WITH VALLEY NATIONAL BANK. IN MY CAREER AS A BANKER, I HAVE MADE LOANS TO MANY TYPES OF BUSINESSES. SEEN MANY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSES. BUT I HAVE ALSO SEEN MANY FAIL. IN FACT, MOST RESTAURANTS FAIL, WHICH IS YOUR SAYING WHY WOULD A BANKER TAKE ON SUCH AN ENDEAVOR. EXACTLY WHAT MY WIFE SAID THIS MORNING. SHE IS A RESTAURANTEUR AND HAS A FAMILY IN THE RESTAURANT BUSINESS AND SHE THINKS WE CAN DO IT BUT IT WILL NOT BE EASY. SHORT ANSWER IS THIS. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE BUILDING AND I SEE A FUTURE IN THE NORTH FRANKLIN CORRIDOR. THE RESTAURANT CONCEPT BRIEFLY SUCCEEDED IN THIS BUILDING, FOUR YEARS SINCE THE DOORS WERE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. AND IT IS GOING TO TAKE QUITE A BIT OF CAPITAL AND FORTITUDE TO BRING THIS BUILDING BACK TO LIFE AGAIN. NOW THAT YOU HAVE MY BACKGROUND, LET'S TALK ABOUT WHY I NEED YOUR HELP TONIGHT. CURRENT WET ZONING FOR THE BUILDING IS TAILER-MADE FOR ONE USE AND ONE USE ONLY, A NIGHT CLUB. WE RECEIVED LETTERS OF ATENT FROM NATIONAL NIGHT CLUB OPERATORS WHO WANT TO COME TO TAMPA. I DON'T WANT TO OPERATE A NIGHT CLUB AND REFER NOT TO HAVE ONE AS A TENANT. I KNOW THE CHALLENGE. I WAS PART OWNER OF A BAR ON HOWARD AVENUE. AND HAPPILY I SOLD THAT FIVE MONTHS AGO. AND ON TIRED ARE TIESHD OF THE LATE NIGHT PHONE CALL AND THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THAT BUSINESS. LET'S SEE. I HAVEN'T INVESTED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY IN DEVELOPING THE ACTUAL CONCEPTS UNTIL I KNOW WHETHER THIS APPLICATION WILL BE APPROVED, BUT I HAVE WORKED CLOSELY WITH SOME RESTAURANT INDUSTRY VETERANS, SPECIFICALLY FRANK CHEVIS FROM SALT ROCK GRILL AND RENEE VALENZUELA FROM RENEE'S KITCHEN. WE HAVE AN OUTLINE AND A PLAN, BUT BEING ABLE TO SELL ALCOHOL TO SUPPLEMENT FOOD SALES IS A REQUI REQUIREMENT. TYLER MENTIONED A LOT OF THE THINGS, YOU KNOW, THAT DON'T NEED TO PROBABLY BE REHASHED. BUT WE HAVE SUBMITTED TO THE SECOND FLOOR AS AN EVENT RENTAL SPACE WITH OVER A DOZEN WEDDINGS ALREADY BOOKED. WE BELIEVE WEDDING RECEPTIONS AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS, BIRTHDAY PARTIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT WILL BE PERFECT FOR THAT VENUE. I KNOW THERE ARE SOME CONCERNS OF NEIGHBORHOOD AMPLIFIED SOUND. AND REACHING INTO THE RESIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WHILE WE ARE QUITE FAR AWAY FROM HOMES, WE ARE VOLUNTARILY WILLING TO PROHIBIT ANY AMPLIFIED OUTDOOR SOUND AND AS TYLER MENTIONED, WILLING TO PROHIBIT ANY ACTIVATED ROOFTOP. MAUREEN HAS POURED HER HEART AND SOUL INTO RESTORING THE FARRIS BUILDING, AND I DON'T JUST BELIEVE, I KNOW THAT A THRIVING ALL-DAY CONCEPT AT 1701 N. FRANKLIN STREET IS THE KEY CATALYST OF MAKING THIS CORRIDOR WORK. JUST DAYS AGO, YOU ALL UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED A MULTIMILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT IN THE FRANKLIN STREET CORRIDOR AND HUMBLY SUGGEST THAT APPROVING IN APPLICATION IS EQUALLY A CRITICAL STEP TOWARD RESTORING FRANKLIN STREET TO THE PROMINENCE IT HAD DECADE AGO. I APPRECIATE YOUR THOUGHTFUL CONSIDERATION FOR THIS REQUEST. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHEN YOU WERE AT THE MANUFACTURER'S BANK, DID YOU WORK MANNY ALVAREZ. >> MANNY AND RICHARD AND TONY AND LOU AND ALL OF THEM. I THINK THEY KNOW YOU WELL TOO. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I KNOW CHARLIE AND MANNY'S WIFE WAS MARY ALIAL HAVE A, OUR CITY COUNCILMEMBER. I WENT THERE AS A KID WITH MY DAD. I HAD MY FIRST CHECKING. YOU. >> REMEMBER THE VELVET ROPES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MANNY'S OFFICE. AL LOPEZ BASEBALL RIGHT ON THE DESK. >> FRED McGRIFF AND ALL THOSE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM. >>GWEN HENDERSON: SIR, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. I GOT A LOT OF LETTERS FROM THE COMMUNITY INDICATING THAT THEY WOULD PREFER IT CLOSE AT 1:00 -- 1:00 A.M. INSTEAD OF 3:00. DO YOU WANT TO ADDRESS THAT. HAVE YOU TALKED TO THE COMMUNITY? >> EXTENSIVELY -- CAN MAUREEN SPEAK. WITH THIS OUR PRESENTATION STILL. WE WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS -- BUT I WOULD LIKE MAUREEN -- >>GWEN HENDERSON: THEY WERE TALKING. >> SORRY. >> THANK YOU. YES, MAURICE EREL, 3401 BAYSHORE BOULEVARD. AND THIS BUILDING WAS MY VERY FIRST COMMERCIAL PURCHASE. AND DESTINED TO BE MY LAST IN CASE ANYBODY AS A TIMELINE. I PURCHASED THIS IN 2014, FREE WATER WORKS PARK, PREARMATURE WORKS. WHAT DREW ME TO THIS AREA IS THAT IT WAS A HISTORIC DISTRICT. THE BUILDING ITSELF WAS ABSOLUTELY DREADFUL. AS A MATTER OF FACT, LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING IT, I HAD TO REACH OUT TO DENNIS FERNANDEZ TO PLEASE COME OVER AND ADVISE ME HOW I CAN STOP THE -- THE ROOF FROM COLLAPSING WITHOUT LOSING AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK GRANT DOLLARS, BECAUSE BACK THEN, YOU HAD TO GET THE GRANT BEFORE YOU COULD DO THE WORK. AND WE HAD RAIN POURING IN. ALL THE WINDOWS WHEN I PURCHASED THIS WERE BRICKED OVER AND THE DOORS WERE PAINTED BLACK. THERE WAS ZERO SUNLIGHT YOU COULD GET IN AND IT WAS BEING OPERATED BY A BIKER BAR. AS FAR AS I KNEW, IT WAS OPERATING 24-7. THEY HAD HADN'T PAID RENT IN OVER SIX MONTHS AND THE OWNER OF THE BUILDING WAS FOLLOWING LET ME WALK IN. I REQUIRED THAT HE EVICTEDED THAT TENANT BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. AND FROM THEN FOR TWO YEARS, I RESTORED EVERYTHING STARTING AT THE ROOF. ALL THE AC WAS RIPPED OFF. THE ROOF WAS REPLACED. THE UPSTAIRS 26 WINDOWS WERE MERELY POLYURETHANE. THEY WEREN'T WINDOWS. I WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE DOWNTOWN PARTNERSHIP. I LOBBIED FOR THREE YEARS TO GET THEM TO EXTEND THEIR SERVICE DISTRICT TO REACH PALM AVENUE SO WE WOULD BE CONSIDERED PART OF IT. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT BENEFIT, TO HELP US RELOCATE HOMELESS PEOPLE AND CLEAN UP THE MESSES THAT, AT THAT TIME, WAS EVERYWHERE. RAMPANT. THE SALVATION ARMY WAS OPEN. PEOPLE WOULD LINE UP AT NIGHT ALL THE WAY DOWN THE BLOCK. THE ONES THAT DIDN'T GET ROOMS WOULD PARK THEMSELVES AROUND OUR BUILDING FOR WHATEVER SAFETY. MY NINE-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER WOULD NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR FOR TWO YEARS BECAUSE EVERY SATURDAY, I WOULD GO WITH A PRESSURE WASHER. I WOULD GET AS MANY PEOPLE OFF OUR SIDEWALK. AND THEN I WOULD CLEAN UP THE MESS SHE IS LEFT IT WAS A TREMENDOUS ADVENTURE. I HAVE TO SAY I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE BUILDING. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE COMMUNITY. ACTUALLY, I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA BECAUSE BOB McDONAUGH AND FORMER BOB BUCKHORN WERE TREMENDOUS ASSISTANTS. AS A MATTER OF FACT, BOB BUCKHORN ATE LUNCH THERE MANY TIMES A WEEK ONCE THE HALL OPENED. AND I APPROACHED HIM AND HE GOT -- HE PERSONALLY IT ORDERED A STOP SIGN WHEN I TOLD HIM PEOPLE WERE GOING TO GET KILLED IF WE DIDN'T PUT A STOP SIGN ON HENDERSON. HE SAID I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT. HONESTLY, I JOINED HIS NEIGHBORHOOD UNIVERSITY. LONG STORY SHORT, IT'S BECOME A LIFESTYLE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE BUSINESS THAT REALLY REVITALIZED THIS AREA, THE HALL ON FRANKLIN, CAME TO A HORRIBLE END BECAUSE OF COVID. SO THE BUILDING HAS ACTUALLY BEEN VACANT SINCE DECEMBER OF 2020. PRIOR TO THAT, HE HAD 10 TO 15 THOUSAND VISA TRANSACTIONS A MONTH. THE NUMBER OF PEDESTRIANS IN THIS AREA WAS OFF THE CHAIN, AND EVERY SINGLE BUSINESS DOWN THE STREET LOVED US AND THEIR BUSINESSES WERE VIBRANT. I HAVE GOTTEN MANY LETTERS AND PHONE CALLS AND E-MAILS IN THE LAST WEEK AS NEWS HAS GOTTEN AROUND AND NOT TO DEBATE WHAT OUR COUNCILWOMAN SAID, BUT ALL OF THE NOTICES I HAVE GOTTEN ARE IN SUPPORT OF THE 3 P.M. CLOSE. BUT THEY WANT LUNCH. THEY WANT AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE HAPPY HOUR AND THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE DINNER THERE. THIS BRINGS PEOPLE, ACTIVITY AND ALL OF THAT BRINGS GOOD THINGS. WHEN YOU HAVE NO ONE THERE, WE WILL HAVE REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH CRIME AND UNHOUSED PEOPLE. SO I CAME TO THE SAD DECISION BECAUSE I BOUGHT THIS AS A LEGACY ASSET FOR MY CHILDREN. NEITHER ONE OF THEM WANT TO PARTICIPATE NOW AFTER SEEING WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS. AND I CAME TO THE DECISION THAT I HAVE TO SELL IT AND THAT THE BEST PERSON TO BUY IT MOVING FORWARD WOULD BE AN OWNER/OPERATOR. COY HAVE EASILY LEASED IT -- I COULD HAVE EASILY LEASED IT TO A NUMBER OF BARS OR NIGHTCLUBS WHO CONTACTED ME FROM NEW YORK AND ORLANDO, EVEN A PREVIOUS OWNER WHO RAN THE CLUB CHAMBERS AND HAMBURGER MARY'S, ALL LOOKING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET BACK INTO THIS AREA. I DON'T WANT TO BE A LANDLORD ANYMORE AND I CANNOT BE AN OWNER/OPERATOR BECAUSE I HAVE A FULL-TIME JOB WITH WELLS FARGO. I'M A FIDUCIARY FOR 200 CLIENTS. I'M AN OFFICER OF THE BANK. THAT'S MY DAY JOB. AND I NEED TO SPEND TIME THERE NOW. SO I FELT VERY BLESSED TO HAVE MET AL. I WASN'T MARKETING THE PROPERTY. I'M NOT EVEN SURE HOW HE LEARNED ABOUT IT, BUT I HAVE SPENT THE LAST SIX MONTHS WITH HIM, WITH HIS VENDORS. I'VE BEEN ON THE ROOF. THEY ARE NOT ONLY GOING TO REPLACE THE ROOF, THEY'LL PUT SOLAR IN IT. HE'S GOING TO MAINTAIN $300,000 WORTH OF EXHAUST HOODS THAT WERE PUT INTO PLACE BY THE FORMER TENANT THAT I HAD TO EVICT. BASICALLY, I THINK IT WILL ONLY TAKE OFF FROM HERE WITH THE RIGHT OWNERSHIP. AND I THINK WE'VE GOT THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITY IN FRONT OF US. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON, YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS. >>GWEN HENDERSON: I DID READ A LOT OF E-MAILS THAT ARE DEFINITELY IN SUPPORT OF THE PROJECT BUT WAS CLEAR THE MAJORITY OF THEM DID STRESS THAT THEY WANTED TO SEE IT CLOSE AT 1 A.M. IT ALREADY IS TIED TO A NIGHTCLUB LIQUOR LICENSE, THEY CAN SELL UNTIL 3 A.M. IS MY UNDERSTANDING, WHICH IS BELIEVABLE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COME ON UP. >> IN RESPONSE TO THAT, LET ME SAY I DID SPEAK WITH BRIAN SEEL AND TAMPA HEIGHTS CIVIC ASSOCIATION, AND THEIR CONCERN WAS ABOUT NOISE AND COMPLAINTS. I DON'T KNOW WHO IS GOING TO COMPLAIN. THIS PARTICULAR AREA IS ABSOLUTELY BLIGHTED. THERE ARE NO HOMES. THERE ARE 8 SURFACE PARKING LOTS ACROSS THE STREET FROM US. I WISH WE HAD RESIDENTIAL TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT. THAT WOULD BE MY ULTIMATE DREAM AND MAYBE SOMEDAY IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. BUT IF WE DON'T GET ACTIVITY THERE SOON, IT'S LESS AND LESS LIKELY. >>GWEN HENDERSON: I ACTUALLY AGREE WITH YOU. I'M INCLINED TO SUPPORT IT BECAUSE WHERE IT IS SITUATED. I DRIVE THAT STREET EVERY SINGLE DAY. I ALWAYS LOOK OVER THERE TO SEE IF SOMETHING IS EVER GOING TO HAPPEN. >> YAY, ME TOO. >>GWEN HENDERSON: I WANTED TO POINT IT OUT THAT I DID RECEIVE THOSE LETTERS. IT DOES SIT IN TAMPA HEIGHTS, BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, THERE'S NOTHING AROUND IT THAT I WOULD SEE BE A GREAT DISTURBANCE. IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE SOME LIFE THERE AGAIN. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? IT'S ACTUALLY WHERE I PARK BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR PARKING AT ARMATURE WORKS, SO I PARK OVER THERE. WELL, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SPACES. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SPACES. >>LaCHONE DOCK: LaCHONE DOCK, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. THERE IS A SUPPLEMENTAL REVISION SHEET TO ENTER INTO THE RECORD THAT CONTAINS THE AB SALES HOUR IN ADDITION TO THE NO COMMERCIAL ROOFTOP PERMITTED IN ADDITION TO THE OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND AND REVISION OF THE WAIVER. SO THAT IS INCLUDED IN THAT COPY, SO I WILL SUBMIT THAT INTO THE RECORD. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WANT TO REMIND COUNCIL THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE AREAS TRYING TO EXTEND THE STREETCAR UP FLORIDA AND BACK DOWN TAMPA STREET. THESE TYPE OF VENUES WILL ASSIST IN ACTIVATING THAT AREA. GREAT TO SEE THE OLD PICTURE OF THE BUILDING WITH THE STREETCAR IN FRONT OF IT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DO YOU NEED REBUTTAL, MR. HUDSON? >> TYLER HUDSON, FOR THE RECORD. I THINK YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH FOR TODAY. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: NO, LET'S KEEP GOING. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MIGHT AS WELL GO TILL 10:00. CAN I GET A MOTION TO CLOSE? MOTION TO CLOSE FROM MIRANDA, SECOND FROM CLENDENIN. I LEFT OFF WITH -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: STREETCAR GUY. CCHOO-CHOO ALLEN. NO NO. DON'T WANT THAT TO STICK. DID NOT WORK OUT WELL FOR THE LAST GUY. MOVE FILE AB 2-24-48, AN ORDINANCE BEING PRESENTED FOR FIRST READING CONSIDERATION, AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT SU 2 FOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES, LARGE VENUE, CONSUMPTION ON PREMISES, PACKAGE SALES CONSUMPTION OFF PREMISES AND MAKING LAWFUL THE SALE OF BEVERAGES REGARDLESS OF ALCOHOLIC CONTENT, BEER, WINE AND LIQUOR, AT OR FROM THAT CERTAIN LOT, PLOT OR TRACT OF LAND LOCATED AT 1701 NORTH FRANKLIN STREET AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 3, PROVIDING THAT ALL ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT ARE REPEALED, REPEALING ORDINANCE NUMBER 2013-125, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE, ALONG WITH THE SUPPLEMENTAL REVISION SHEET. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.

IT WAS DEALING WITH THE COUNTY'S PRESENTATION TONIGHT ON THE CITY-COUNTY REVIEW ON INFRASTRUCTURE AND EVERYTHING POST-MILTON AND HELENE AND THEIR REVIEW. TO MAKE IT OFFICIALLY A CITY-COUNTY, AS WELL AS TEMPLE TERRACE AND PLANT CITY ENDEAVOR, THE IDEA IS FOR US TO JUST GIVE A TINY AMOUNT OF MONEY JUST FOR CONSIDERATION, IF YOU WILL. I'VE SPOKEN TO TEMPLE TERRACE AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT DOING THE SAME THING AND I BELIEVE PLANT CITY. THIS IS, BY THE WAY, I THINK HALF A MILLION DOLLAR AND I'M REQUESTING A TINY AMOUNT, ADMINISTRATION HAS NO OBJECTION TO IT AS DISCUSSED.

I DON'T KNOW HOW I DID THAT. MAYBE I DID IT ON A DIFFERENT DAY. MY LEGISLATIVE AIDE SENT A MEMO OUT LAST WEEK ABOUT DOING AN IN-PERSON COMMENDATION FOR ANDY JOHNSON. I THINK YOU ALL KNOW HIM. RETIRED METEOROLOGIST. DURING THE STORMS, HE VOLUNTARILY SENT OUT A LOT OF VALUABLE INFORMATION THAT HELPED A LOT OF PEOPLE. HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TO TALK ABOUT HOW THE STORM SURGE WAS GOING TO HIT EVERYONE. SO THERE'S SOME TIME SENSITIVITY TO THIS. SO I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO PRESENT AN IN-CHAMBER COMMENDATION ON DECEMBER 19, 2024, TO ANDY JOHNSON, FORENSIC METEOROLOGIST FOR HIS PUBLIC SERVICE DURING THE 2024 HURRICANE SEASON. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON. SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. YES, SIR, ANYTHING ELSE? CAN I GET A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE? HENDERSON WITH THE MOTION, SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. [ SOUNDING GAVEL ] HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
