ESTABLISHED LAND USE CATEGORIES ON THE PROPERTY FOR SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL USE, COMMERCIAL USE, MULTIPLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL USE AND RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE USE IN TWENTY SIXTEEN SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS WERE AMENDED TO ALLOW FOR A MAXIMUM OF 4000 RESIDENTIAL UNITS, WHICH STATED THEY COULD BE PLACED ON THE LANDS OF PALM VISTA IN 2019.
PH.D. 28 2019 WAS APPROVED FOR A 162 LOTS SUBDIVISION CALLED PALM VISTA EVELYN'S, WHICH
[00:05:06]
IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.THIS PHASE IS APPROXIMATELY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF PACE AND THE PARKWAY.
THE TOTAL ENTITLEMENTS ENCUMBERED OUT OF THE 4000 UNITS ARE AS FOLLOWS ONE HUNDRED SIXTY UNITS, SIXTY TWO UNITS FOR PALM BAY, MR., EVELYN'S ANALYSIS OR CHAPTER ONE TWENTY THREE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REGULATIONS.
SECTION ONE EIGHTY THREE POINT ONE BE THE PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS TO ENCOURAGE THE MOST APPROPRIATE USE OF LAND AND RESOURCES TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY AND ONE FUTURE WELLNESS ELEMENT.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE L.A.
ELEMENT GOAL FLOOD ONE IS TO ENSURE A HIGH QUALITY DIVERSIFIED LIVING ENVIRONMENT THROUGH THE EFFICIENT DISTRIBUTION OF COMPATIBLE LAND USES.
ELEMENT GOAL FLUID, TOO, IS TO PROVIDE FOR AND MAINTAIN VIABLE NEIGHBORHOODS AND RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TO MEET THE EXISTING AND FUTURE NEEDS OF THE RESIDENTS OF PALM BAY. ELISE ELEMENT GOAL FLOODGATE IS TO PROVIDE FOR A DIVERSE AND SELF-SUSTAINING PATTERN OF LAND USAGE THAT SUPPORTS THE PRESENT AND FUTURE POPULATION OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
WHICH RELIGIOUS ELEMENT GOAL, IF ALLOWED NINE IS TO CREATE LARGE SCALE, SUSTAINABLE, MIXED USE COMMUNITY COMMUNITIES? THE MULTIPLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY ALLOWS FOR A MAXIMUM RESIDENTIAL DENSITY OF 20 UNITS PER ACRE WITH A RANGE OF ZERO TO 20 EPA.
TYPICAL USE IS ALLOWED INCLUDE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, DUPLEXES, MULTIFAMILY UNITS, CONGREGATE LIVING UNITS, RECREATIONAL USES AND INSTITUTIONAL USES SUCH AS SCHOOLS, CHURCHES AND UTILITIES.

SUBJECT PROPERTY IS NOT LOCATED WITH ANY OF THE FOUR DESCRIPTIVE POLYGONS IDENTIFIED ON THE CITY'S HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN.
NO OTHER PROTECTED SPECIES ARE KNOWN TO INHABIT SUBJECT PROPERTY.
ANY PROTECTED SPECIES THAT WILL BE FOUND ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WOULD NEED TO BE MITIGATED AS REQUIRED BY STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS AND PER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICY.
RECREATION. MOST FLU AMENDMENT WOULD INCREASE THE DEMAND FOR RECREATION SERVICES AS COMPARED TO THE EXISTING LAND USE.
HOWEVER, THE REQUESTED USE WOULD NOT EXCEED THE EXISTING PARKLAND OR RECREATION LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS FOR THE PLANNING AREA.
SHELBY NOTED THAT THE RECREATION OPEN SPACE ELEMENT OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SETS A LITTLE SERVICE STANDARD OF TWO ACRES PER 1000 RESIDENTS THAT HE MAINTAINS PARK OWNERSHIP OF. PARK DOESN'T LAND THAT FAR EXCEED THIS REQUIREMENT OR HOUSING ELEMENT.
BOTH FLU AMENDMENT DOES NOT ADVERSELY IMPACT THE SUPPLY AND VARIETY OF SAFETY, DECENT, ATTRACTIVE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING WITHIN THE CITY.
INSTEAD, IT WILL SERVE TO CREATE ADDITIONAL MULTIFAMILY HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES NEEDED IN PALM BAY AND FIVE INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT.
THE CITY EVALUATES PRESENT AND FUTURE WATER, SEWER DRAINAGE AND SOLID WASTE AND ASSESSES THE ABILITY OF INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT.
ABILITIES. THE FLU CHANGE WILL NOT CAUSE THE LEVEL OF SERVICE TO FALL BELOW THE STANDARDS ADOPTED IN THE CONFERENCE PLAN FOR THESE SERVICES FOR THE CURRENT PLANNING PERIOD.

THANK YOU, PATRICK JORDAN, BOARD, HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.
GOT A QUESTION. HOW MANY IS THIS FIFTEEN THOUSAND? IS THAT ALL THIS IS THIRTY TWO HUNDRED ACRES IS GOING TO? OVERALL, IS THIS FAIR? YOU SHOULD ALSO I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT HAS A PRESENTATION WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE PHASES OF THIS CONSTRUCTION OF THIS OVERALL SOLAR FARM AND BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW MANY HOMES THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO SERVE.
THEY DO HAVE A POWERPOINT PRESENT THAT WE HAVE MINIMIZED HERE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH. YOU KNOW, THE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.
GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS BART JETSONS AREA EXTERNAL AFFAIRS MANAGER, NINE THOUSAND ONE ELLIS ROAD, MALVERN.
WE ARE PLEASED TO PREVENT PRESENT TO YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
A NEW SOLAR PROJECT NAMED THE IBIS SOLAR ENERGY CENTER, THE SOLAR FACILITY WOULD GENERATE CLEAN EMISSION FREE ENERGY WHILE KEEPING RELIABILITY HIGH IN OUR CUSTOMER BILLS WELL BELOW THE NATIONAL AVERAGE.
WE SHARE PALM BAY, THE CITY OF PALM BAY MISSION, ADVANCING SUSTAINABILITY, REDUCING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT AND MAKING PALM BAY AN EVEN GREATER PLACE IN WHICH TO WORK AND LIVE NOW TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE DETAILS OF THE PROJECT.
PLEASE ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE GEOFF WEST, OUR PROJECT MANAGER.
YEAH. HI, GOOD EVENING, SHARON AND BOARD MEMBERS, THANK YOU.
I PRESENT OR THREE HUNDRED HASTINGS ROAD IN ST.
I AM THE PROJECT DIRECTOR FOR FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT AND THE PROJECT MANAGER FOR FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROJECT.
IT'S A PRIVILEGE TO PRESENT THE PROJECT TONIGHT.
WHAT WE'RE SEEKING HERE IS A BASICALLY TO BRING IN THE PROPERTY THE THREE THOUSAND ACRES IN CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S FUTURE LAND USE MAP ELEMENT.
OK, IT WAS IN BREVARD COUNTY FLUME, SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR TO BRING IT INTO UTILITIES UNDER THE CITY AND THEN SUBSEQUENT.
THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS A ZONING TO GENERAL HOLDING'S USE.
SO VERY SIMILAR TO THE PROJECT WE BROUGHT TO YOU A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO CALLED THE PALM BAY SOLAR ENERGY CENTER.
THIS ONE WOULD BE LOCATED DIRECTLY WEST OF THAT FACILITY, SO IT WOULDN'T TAKE UP THE ENTIRE PROPERTY.
WE'RE WE'RE SEEKING THE LAND USE CHANGE FOR ALL THE PROPERTY JUST TO BRING IT IN AND CONSISTENT WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP ELEMENT.
WE HOLD FUTURE PROPERTY FOR FOR FUTURE USES POTENTIAL MORE SOLAR ENERGY FACILITIES IN THE FUTURE AS WELL. WE.
SO FPL, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A LOT OF YOU PROBABLY KNOW FPL IS SINCE THE PALM BAY FACILITY, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CHANGES AND ADVANCEMENTS IN TECHNOLOGY.
SO I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU JUST A LITTLE BRIEF PRESENTATION AND I WILL TRY TO BE BRIEF BECAUSE I KNOW YOU HAVE A PACKED AGENDA, BUT WE'RE IN THE BUSINESS OF ELECTRICITY.
OUR MISSION, HOWEVER, THOUGH, IS TO PROVIDE SUPERIOR VALUE FOR OUR CUSTOMERS AND THE CLEANEST, MOST RELIABLE ENERGY IN AMERICA.
HOW DO WE DO THAT? WE DO THAT BY REDUCING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT.
WE'VE ACTUALLY DECOMMISSIONED OUR LAST COAL FACILITY IN 2020.
SO OUR CARBON PROFILE IS 30 PERCENT LOWER THAN NATIONAL AVERAGE.
WE CREATE RELIABILITY BY ADVANCING TECHNOLOGIES IN OUR GRID.
OUR GRID IS 60 PERCENT MORE RELIABLE THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE.
WE USE A LOT OF DRONES FOR INSPECTIONS, YOU KNOW, UPGRADING THE GRID.
AND THEN WE ALSO ARE LOOKING AT WAYS TO LOWER OUR CUSTOMERS BILL, OUR BILL RIGHT NOW IS 30 PERCENT LOWER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE.
[00:25:02]
ONE WAY WE DO THAT IS BY MAKING LONG TERM SMART INVESTMENTS IN CLEAN ENERGY BENEFITS OUR CUSTOMERS. SINCE 2001, WE'VE ACTUALLY SAVED OUR CUSTOMERS ALMOST $11 BILLION IN FUEL COSTS AND PREVENTED ALMOST ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE MILLION TONS OF CARBON EMISSIONS.WE'RE MAKING GREAT STRIDES IN PROVIDING CLEAN, SAFE, RELIABLE POWER TO TO OUR CUSTOMERS IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. WE ARE THE LARGEST UTILITY IN FLORIDA WITH OUR RECENT EXPANSION OF GULF POWER IN THE PANHANDLE.
WE NOW SERVE 43 OF 67 COUNTIES IN FLORIDA.
THAT'S ABOUT FIVE POINT SIX MILLION CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS AND WE SERVE CUSTOMERS RIGHT NOW FROM MIAMI ALL THE WAY TO PENSACOLA.
PALM BAY, ALONG WITH BREVARD COUNTY, HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL PARTNER IN OUR CLEAN ENERGY INITIATIVES, AND WE COMMITTED TO CONTINUING THAT POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP.
WE SERVE ROUGHLY THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR THOUSAND CUSTOMERS IN BREVARD COUNTY, ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY OF THOSE IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
YOU PROBABLY HAVE SEEN SOME OF OUR FACILITIES IN THE COUNTY, WE ARE CURRENTLY OPERATING FOUR SOLAR ENERGY CENTERS IN THE COUNTY.
ONE OF THE FIRST ONES BUILT BACK IN 2010 WAS A MUCH SMALLER PROJECT CALLED OUR SPACE COAST NEXT GENERATION SOLAR FACILITY.
THEN WE FOLLOWED WITH THE BAREFOOT BAY FACILITY OFF OF MEEKER ROAD.
THE DISCOVERY SOLAR ENERGY CENTER ALSO WENT COMMERCIAL IN TWENTY TWENTY, AS WELL AS THE PALM BAY FACILITY, WHICH IS LOCATED OFF THE CENTER LANE ROAD.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE OPERATE A NUMBER OF OTHER CLEAN SOLAR INITIATIVES, SUCH AS THE FIVE SOLAR TREES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY, WHICH ARE TWO OF THEM STANDING IN FRONT OF THIS BUILDING. WE'RE INSTALLING ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGERS ACROSS THE STATE, INCLUDING EIGHT WITHIN THE COUNTY, AND THEN WE HAVE ONE FAST CHARGER STATION.
THEY CHARGE THESE VEHICLES IN LESS THAN 30 MINUTES.
I TELL YOU ALL THIS BECAUSE WE'RE MAKING GREAT STRIDES IN TECHNOLOGY AND WE'RE PUSHING TO PROVIDE MORE CLEAN, RELIABLE ENERGY THROUGHOUT FLORIDA, AND WE DO THIS BY, AS I SAID, MAKING SMART ENERGY INVESTMENTS.
WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING AHEAD, LOOKING AT THE NEXT TECHNOLOGY, THE NEXT INNOVATION THAT CAN HELP BRING OUR CUSTOMERS BILLS DOWN, BUT ALSO PROVIDE CLEAN POWER.
SO A COUPLE OF THESE INITIATIVES, ONE WHICH WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR A WHILE NOW, IS THE 30 BY 30 WHICH WE WANT TO GET TO.
WE WANT 30 PERCENT OF OUR ENERGY PORTFOLIO BY 2030 TO BE FROM SO CLEAN SOLAR ENERGY.
PART OF THAT IS BRINGING COMMUNITY SOLAR TO PEOPLE WHO ARE SOLAR TOGETHER PROGRAM.
ANOTHER THING WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE BUILDING THE WORLD'S LARGEST INTEGRATED SOLAR BATTERY RIGHT NOW IN MANATEE COUNTY, AND IT'S ACTUALLY REPLACING TWO OF OUR NATURAL GAS PEAKING UNITS. SO BASICALLY FROM THE OUR IN THE WINTER FOR THE HOURS OF LIKE SEVEN TO 10 IN THE MORNING, WE'LL USE OUR BATTERY THAT'S CHARGED BY SOLAR TO DISCHARGE ENERGY THAT'S NEEDED FOR WINTER PEAKING.
AND THEN WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT.
INTEGRATING HYDROGEN WITH SOME OF OUR FACILITIES, SO WE'LL USE WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR OKEECHOBEE SOLAR ENERGY CENTER TO ACTUALLY BASICALLY DRIVE THE ENERGY FOR AN ELECTROLYZER THAT WILL CREATE HYDROGEN THAT WE CAN STORE AND BLEND WITH NATURAL GAS AS A MEANS OF ENERGY STORAGE.
WELL, AND FINALLY, OUR EVOLUTION PROGRAM IS WE'RE INSTALLING OVER A THOUSAND ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGERS.
OBVIOUSLY THAT'S YOU'VE HEARD OF THAT.
YOU'VE HEARD. YOU KNOW, ELECTRIC VEHICLES ARE THE NEXT BIG THING.
SO WE'RE LOOKING TO PROVIDE A THOUSAND ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING PORTS ACROSS THE STATE OF FLORIDA. WE CURRENTLY NOW ARE OPERATING FORTY TWO SOLAR ENERGY CENTERS ACROSS THE STATE, TWENTY TWO DIFFERENT COUNTIES.
THE EIGHT SITES YOU SEE LISTED, THEY'RE THE ONES THAT WILL COME INTO OPERATION BY THE END OF THIS YEAR. MOST OF THEM ARE IN SOUTH FLORIDA, WITH SEVERAL UP IN THE PANHANDLE.
WE REPRESENT NEARLY SIXTY FIVE PERCENT OF THE SITES AND SOLAR SITES BUILT AND INSTALLED AND OPERATING IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA RIGHT NOW.
ARE OUR SOLAR ENERGY CENTERS CREATE JOBS? CHANCES ARE, IF YOU LIVE IN A COMMUNITY LIKE LAKE PALM BAY, YOU KNOW SOMEBODY THAT'S WORKED AT A FACILITY OR HAS SUPPLIED MATERIALS TO THAT FACILITY.
WE HIRE LOCAL ENGINEERS, JUST LIKE OUR ENGINEER THAT'S SITTING DOWN NEXT TO BART CGS, WORKING ON THIS PROJECT WITH US, THEY'RE BASED OUT OF PALM BAY MELBOURNE AREA.
AND THEN WE ALSO USE OTHER LOCAL CONTRACTORS THROUGHOUT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SITE.
EACH SITE TYPICALLY EMPLOYS ABOUT 200 JOBS DURING THAT NINE MONTH CONSTRUCTION PERIOD.
AND WE WE ENCOURAGE OUR CONTRACTORS, OUR EPC CONTRACTORS, TO HAVE JOB FAIRS AND HIRE LOCALLY. AND THEN WE ALSO DO A LOT OF TRAINING WITH INDIAN RIVER STATE COLLEGE AND SOME
[00:30:03]
OTHER PROGRAMS. WELL, THE LOCAL IMPACTS ARE OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A LOCAL IMPACT TO THE TAX BASE. AND THEN WE ALSO SUPPORT LOCAL COMMUNITY EFFORTS AND INITIATIVES AS WE CONSTRUCT THESE PROJECTS AND THEN ALSO DURING THE LIFE OF THE OPERATION.THESE FACILITIES MAKE GREAT NEIGHBORS, AND WE TRY TO MAINTAIN THE RURAL LANDSCAPE OF OF THE AREA THAT WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE BUILDING THEM.
AS YOU MENTIONED EARLIER, YOU HEARD OR YOU READ THROUGH THE PACKET THAT EACH SITE GENERATES ENOUGH POWER EQUIVALENT FOR ABOUT 15000 HOMES.
THE SITE THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DEVELOP NEXT TO PALM BAY, WHICH WOULD BE VERY SIMILAR IN SIZE OF SEVENTY FOUR AND A HALF MEGAWATT SOLAR ENERGY CENTER, WOULD WOULD PROVIDE ENOUGH POWER FOR FIFTEEN THOUSAND HOMES OR MOVE ENOUGH REMOVE EQUIVALENT TO FIFTEEN THOUSAND CARS OFF THE ROAD.
THEY'RE QUIET, THEY'RE CLEAN, THEY'RE SAFE.
WE EMPLOY STEWARDSHIP PROGRAMS, MEANING WE LOOK AT THE PLANTING MATERIALS, PLANT MATERIALS THAT WILL ACTUALLY INCREASE POLLINATOR HABITAT.
WE INCORPORATE DIFFERENT TYPES OF STEWARDSHIP.
AND WE ALSO OBVIOUSLY, IT'S A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR FOR THE COMMUNITY.
ONE THING THAT WE'RE DOING NOW BECAUSE WE'VE HEARD THE COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW, YOU'LL SEE PALM BAY AND WE USED A CHAIN LINK FENCE.
IT'S A SIX FOOT CHAIN LINK FENCE WITH THREE STRANDS OF BARBED WIRE ON IT FOR SECURITY PURPOSES. WE'VE HEARD THE COMMUNITIES THAT WE'VE DEVELOPED AND WORKED WITH.
THEY DON'T LIKE THOSE FENCES, SO WE ARE NOW INCORPORATING A FARM FRIENDLY FENCE.
WE'RE USING FOUR FOOT OR SIX FOOT FARM FRIENDLY FENCING, JUST THE THE MESH FENCING, WHICH ALSO HELPS ALLOW WILDLIFE MOVEMENT ACROSS OUR FACILITIES.
THAT'S BEEN A BIG IMPROVEMENT THAT HELPS MAINTAIN THE KIND OF THE RURAL LANDSCAPE OF THE SITES WHERE WE'RE DEVELOPING THESE PROJECTS.
IT LOOKS A LOT BETTER. SO HOW DO THESE SITES WORK IF YOU'VE SEEN OUR SITES, YOU'VE SEEN THESE PRESENTATIONS BEFORE? THERE ARE GROUND MOUNTED FIXED TILT PANEL CONSTRUCTION LIKE THE PICTURE ON THE LEFT YOU SEE THERE, THOSE PANELS COLLECT THE SUN'S ENERGY.
THEY SEND IT TO AN INVERTER, WHICH IS THAT LITTLE BOX YOU SEE TO THE RIGHT.
THAT INVERTER TRANSFORMS THE POWER FROM A DIRECT CURRENT TO AN ALTERNATING CURRENT.
THAT'S WHAT WE USE IN OUR HOUSE, IN THESE ROOMS ON A DAILY BASIS.
AND FROM THE INVERTER, IT'S TRANSMITTED TO OUR COLLECTOR SUBSTATION.
SOME OF OUR SITES WERE INCORPORATING BATTERY STORAGE SO WE CAN ACTUALLY USE THAT ENERGY AT NIGHT. I MEAN, THAT WORKS IN CONCERT WITH THE SUBSTATION AND TRANSMITTING THAT THAT ELECTRICITY ONTO THE GRID.
AND FROM THERE IT GOES OUT TO OUR CUSTOMERS.
IT'S KIND OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE OF OUR SOLAR FACILITIES, THEY'RE VERY LOW IMPACT.
YOU CAN SEE THEY SIT LOW TO THE GROUND.
THEY'RE BASICALLY SUPPORTED BY A PILE THAT'S DRIVEN INTO THE GROUND JUST ABOUT EIGHT FEET IN A TRACKING SYSTEM.
AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE INVERTER ON THE LOWER LEFT AND THEN THE PICTURE ON THE LOWER RIGHT IS OUR WORKERS INSTALLING THE PANELS.
SO THE PROPOSED FACILITY RIGHT NOW, WE'RE WORKING THROUGH PLANNING AND ENGINEERING, BUT IT WOULD BASICALLY BE JUST TO THE WEST OF OF THE EXISTING PALM BAY SOLAR FACILITY THAT YOU CAN SEE THERE IN THE AERIAL IMAGE.
THIS SITE WAS PREVIOUSLY UNDER AGRICULTURE AND CITRUS.
OBVIOUSLY, CITRUS HAS BEEN REMOVED FOR YEARS NOW.
IT'S CURRENTLY BEING USED FOR PASTURE, THE AREA TO THE NORTH.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE VERY TOP NORTH IS AN ABOVE GROUND IMPOUNDMENT THAT WAS USED FOR THE CITRUS THAT WILL REMAIN, THAT THAT'LL BE INCORPORATED INTO OUR DRAINAGE DESIGN AND THEN THE REMAINDER OF THE PROPERTY.
WE'RE SEEKING THE THE FLUME AMENDMENT TO THE ACTUAL IBIS SOLAR ENERGY FACILITY THAT WE ARE DESIGNING WOULD ONLY BE ABOUT FIVE HUNDRED ACRES OF THAT, THAT TOTAL ACREAGE OUT THERE ON THE SITE. THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAD TO PRESENT TONIGHT.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM AGAIN.
WE'RE SEEKING BASICALLY A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL THAT WE TRANSMIT THIS THIS FLUME AMENDMENT TO THE DEO FOR REVIEW AND THEN ULTIMATELY IT WOULD COME BACK FOR ADOPTION BY THE CITY. OUR TIMELINE, WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT DESIGNING PERMITTING THIS SITE OVER THE NEXT YEAR AND THEN LIKELY START CONSTRUCTION IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF TWENTY TWENTY THREE FOR A EARLY TWENTY TWENTY FOUR COD.
QUESTIONS OR HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
WE COMMENT. I WAS DEFINITELY GOING TO ASK THE QUESTION ABOUT VEGETATION BECAUSE I KNOW THAT. IT'S A PROBLEM WHEN YOU HAVE THAT, SO IT'S GOOD TO HEAR THAT YOU'RE WORKING WITH
[00:35:04]
THE AUDUBON SOCIETY JUST NOW, YOU MENTIONED YOU WERE JUST GOING TO DEVELOP 500 ACRES OFF THIS 32 APPROXIMATELY.WE HAVE WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THE LAYOUT, BUT IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY THE SAME SIZE AS PALM BAY. PALM BAY WAS FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FIVE ACRES, SO THIS WOULD BE ROUGHLY ABOUT 500 ACRES AS WELL.
AND IS THERE A PLAN IN THE FUTURE TO DEVELOP MORE ON THIS? YEAH, WE'RE HOLDING THAT LAND FOR FUTURE USE, BUT MOST LIKELY, WE WOULD PROBABLY DEVELOP FACILITIES DOWN THE ROAD.
THANK YOU. AND THE OTHER QUESTION, YEAH, SO THAT FIVE 500 ACRES THAT ARE GOING TO SERVICE THE FIFTEEN THOUSAND HOMES OR IS THAT YES, OK, SO THAT THE ADDITIONAL ACREAGE WOULD, YEAH, ANY ADDITIONAL SITES THAT WE DEVELOP, WE'D HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE CITY FOR AND GET APPROVAL FROM THE STAFF ON A SITE PLAN BASIS WOULD WOULD BE ADDITIONAL, YOU KNOW, 15.
IT'S ROUGHLY FIFTEEN THOUSAND HOMES, EQUIVALENT HOMES FOR EVERY SEVENTY FOUR AND A HALF MEGAWATT PROJECT THAT WE CONSTRUCT.
I FEEL A LOT MORE COMFORTABLE NOW KNOWING THAT.
YOU KNOW, LIKE A LOT OF LAND FOR 15000 HOMES.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MR. MS., THANK YOU VERY MUCH AT THIS TIME, I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR BILL? GILBERT IN 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET, SOUTHWEST FIRST.
I LOVE THE IDEA OF THE SOLAR FIELD.
IT'S THEY'VE ALREADY DEMONSTRATED THEIR CAPABILITIES AND THEY'RE ONLINE NOW, WHICH IS A PLUS. BUT BILL BATON BEING WHO BILL BATON IS IN 2012 ON THE SAME PROPERTY, WE RECEIVED $5000 IN TAX REVENUE.
TWENTY THIRTEEN, WE RECEIVE $4000 OF TAX REVENUE FROM THE SAME PROPERTY FROM TWENTY FOURTEEN TO TWENTY TWENTY ONE.
WE HAVE RECEIVED ZERO TAX DOLLARS OFF OF THIS LAND.
SO ALL I KEEP HEARING IS WE NEED DEVELOPMENT AND WE NEED COMMERCIAL TO COME INTO THE CITY OF PALM BAY TO GENERATE TAXING FUND SERVICES FOR THE CITY.
WELL, THIS GENERATES ZERO TAX DOLLARS TO THE CITY OF PALM BAY BECAUSE IT'S CLASS.
AND THE OTHER THING THAT GOT MY ATTENTION ON THIS WAS IT WAS CLASSIFIED AS CONSERVATION EASEMENT. SO WHEN YOU PUT WHEN YOU BUILD SOMETHING ON THE LAND, IT IS NO LONGER CONSERVATION. IT IS NOW INDUSTRIAL.
IT'S GONE FROM CONSERVATION TO USAGE, AND THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE TWO.
I'M NOT SAYING THAT THE SOLAR IS NOT A GOOD THING.
ALL I'M SAYING IS THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH CONSERVATION LAND AVAILABLE.
THEY'VE BEEN RECEIVING A TAX BREAK BECAUSE IT'S CONSIDERED CONSERVATION.
AND I'M SAYING, HOW DO WE KEEP A CONSERVATION AND THEN STILL BUILD A SOLAR FIELD? ALL RIGHT. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE USING IT UNDER WHAT'S CALLED LAND BANKING, LAND BANKING MEANS WE'RE HOLDING IT UNTIL WE DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING ELSE WITH IT.
IF IN 2012, WE COULD GENERATE $5000 AND NOW IT'S JUST STILL BEEN THE SAME PROPERTY AS JUST SITTING VACANT ALL THESE YEARS.
RIGHT? NOW, WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'M IN FAVOR OF IT, BUT I'D ALSO LIKE TO HEAR ONE OTHER THING FOR THE COMPANY, IF THEY COULD DO THAT, AND THAT WAS TO GIVE THE SAME PRESENTATION THEY JUST PRESENTED TO THE CITY OF PALM BAY SUSTAINABILITY BOARD BECAUSE WHAT YOU'RE ACCOMPLISHING IS SOMETHING GOOD.
AND IN A CONSERVATIVE PERSON THAT I AM, I DON'T LIKE SEEING MY LAND DISAPPEAR, BUT I ALSO APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU'RE USING IT TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY.
THAT BEING SAID? IT'S A GOOD THING, BUT I HATE TO SEE IT COME, BUT I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT GO TO HOUSES INSTEAD. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, BILL. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK EITHER IN FAVOR OR OPPOSED TO THIS APPLICATION? NOW, AT THIS POINT, DO YOU WANT TO RESPOND? WAS. YEAH, SO WE DO PAY TAXES FOR OUR SOLAR ENERGY FACILITIES.
THERE IS AN EXEMPTION ON ON THE TAXES, BUT IT'S STILL IS EQUATED TO ABOUT TWO HUNDRED TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR JUST ON THE SOLAR INFRASTRUCTURE.
SO THAT WOULD EQUATE OVER THE LIFE OF THE PROJECT.
AT SEVEN MILLION, ROUGHLY AROUND $7 MILLION OVER THE LIFE OF THE PROJECT WOULD BE PAID IN TAXES, AND THAT'S TANGIBLE PROPERTY TAXES.
THESE AREN'T. THEY DON'T GET A CONSERVATION OR LAND BANKING KIND OF EXEMPTION.
WE'RE SEEKING THE FLUME CHANGE TO UTILITIES.
AND SO WE WOULD PAY TAXES JUST LIKE WE HAVE FOR THE BAREFOOT BAY FACILITY AND THE PALM BAY FACILITY.
WE PROBABLY GET THOSE TAX NUMBERS BY THE END OF THE YEAR BECAUSE IT CAME ONLINE IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE. SO I WOULD IF WE CAN FOLLOW UP WITH THOSE NUMBERS, I'M HAPPY TO REACH OUT TO THE GENTLEMAN AND DISCUSS THAT AND ALSO APPROACH HIS SUSTAINABILITY.
[00:40:04]
BOARD IF YOU'D LIKE US TO DO THE SAME PRESENTATION.SURE, WE'D BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH A SUSTAINABILITY CO.
OF SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE AND SHOW THEM THIS PRESENTATION.
SO I THINK, YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A VERY GOOD IDEA IF YOU WOULD REACH OUT TO OUR CITY MANAGER, SUZANNE SHERMAN.
I WILL. SHE CAN WORK THAT OUT WITH YOU.
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. OK, THANK YOU.
ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISH TO SPEAK? NONE AT THIS POINT, HOW CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD FOR A MOTION. I GET A MOTION, PLEASE.

THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN. IT BRINGS US TO.
[NEW BUSINESS]
HER LAST CASE, THE ONLY CASE WE HAVE UNDER NEW BUSINESS, I ASSUME, PATRICK, ARE YOU GOING TO HANDLE THAT? MS..SEP 16, 2021 BACKGROUND THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED SOUTH OF AN ADJACENT A COCONUT STREET SOUTHEAST IN THE VICINI WEST OF EMERSON DRIVE.
SOUTHEAST SPECIFICALLY TRACKED A OF PORT MARLBOROUGH UNIT 11, SECTION EIGHT TOWNSHIP 29 RANGE 37 BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA.
THE TRACK WAS PLANTED IN 1961.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WAS ACQUIRED BY THE APPLICANT IN 2006.
THIS IS ACTUALLY THE THIRD TIME THIS REQUEST HAS BEEN BROUGHT BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD. IN 2006, THE BOARD VOTED TO DENY THE REQUEST IF THERE WAS AFTER, THERE WAS NO APPLICANT OR REPRESENTATIVE IN ATTENDANCE.
IN THE CASE WHICH WAS WITHDRAWN BEFORE GOING TO CITY COUNCIL.
[00:45:04]
2007, THE CASE WAS BROUGHT BEFORE THE BOARD, WHO VOTED TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL.CITY COUNCIL HEARD THE REQUEST ON APRIL 5TH, 2007 AND APPROVED IT SIMILAR TO THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS.
HOWEVER, THE CASE WAS NEVER TRANSMITTED TO THE STATE AND NEVER HEARD A SECOND TIME BY CITY COUNCIL. THEREFORE, THE AMENDMENT WAS NOT ADOPTED.
ANALYSIS FOR CHAPTER 193 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REGULATIONS SECTION ONE THOUSAND THREE POINT ONE BE THE PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THE COMP PLAN IS TO ENCOURAGE THE MOST APPROPRIATE USE OF LAND AND RESOURCES TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY.
EACH ELEMENT GOLD FLOODS TO PROVIDE FOR AND MAINTAIN VIABLE NEIGHBORHOODS AND RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TO MEET THE EXISTING AND FUTURE NEEDS OF THE RESIDENTS OF PALM BAY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USE CATEGORY ALLOWS FOR MAXIMUM RESIDENTIAL DENSITY OF FIVE UNITS PER ACRE. THE RANGE OF ZERO TO FIVE UNITS PER ACRE.
TYPICAL USES IN PERMITTED INCLUDE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, RECREATIONAL USES AND INSTITUTIONAL USES SUCH AS SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, UTILITIES.
AT A MAXIMUM OF FIVE UNITS PER ACRE, AT ELEVEN POINT NINE ONE ACRES, THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS IS 59.
THE APPLICANT HAS SUBMITTED THE NUMBER OF 46 UNITS TO THE SCHOOL BOARD OF BREVARD COUNTY FOR CONCURRENCY DETERMINATION, WHICH FALLS UNDER THE MAXIMUM OF 56 UNITS ALLOWED.
SOCIAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT SUBJECT PROPERTY IS NOT LOCATED WITHIN THE COASTAL MANAGEMENT AREA. RACIAL ELEMENT, ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTER OF THE CITY IS MAINTAINED THROUGH CONSERVATION, APPROPRIATE USE AND PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES.
SUBJECT PARCEL IS NOT LOCATED WITHIN THE FLORIDA SCRUB, POLYGON IDENTIFIED THE UNITED STATES FISH AND WILDLIFE SCRUB SURVEY AREA, AND HE LISTED SPECIES, INCLUDING THE SCRUB, WOULD NEED TO BE MITIGATED FOR AS REQUIRED BY STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS AND PER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICY SEAL AND ONE POINT SEVEN BE MS..
MITIGATION MUST OCCUR PRIOR TO ANY DEVELOPMENT ON THE PARCEL.
NO ADDITIONAL LISTED SPECIES ARE KNOWN TO INHABIT THE SUBJECT RECREATION.
SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USE DOES HAVE MORE OF A DEMAND UPON THE PARKS AND RECREATION LEVEL SERVICE STANDARDS IN PUBLIC SEMIPUBLIC USE.
THEY'LL BE NOTED THAT THE RECREATION OPEN SPACE ELEMENT OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SETS A LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARD OF TWO ACRES PER 1000 RESIDENTS.
CITY MAINTAINS PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF PARK DESIGNATED LANDS THAT FAR EXCEED THIS REQUIREMENT. FURTHERMORE, PRIVATELY OWNED LAND WITH A RECREATION OPEN SPACE LAND USE DESIGNATION MAY NOT BE USED TO MEET THIS LEVEL SERVICE.
HOUSING ELEMENT PROPOSED BLUE AMENDMENT DOES NOT ADVERSELY IMPACT THE SUPPLY AND VARIETY OF SAFE, DECENT, ATTRACTIVE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING WITHIN THE CITY.
FUTURE LAND USE CHANGE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PROVIDE AN INCREASE IN AVAILABLE HOUSING TO CITY RESIDENTS OR FUTURE RESIDENTS.
THE EVALUATES PRESENT IN FUTURE WATER, SEWER DRAINAGE AND SOLID WASTE, AND ASSESSES THE ABILITY OF INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDED TO SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT UTILITIES, THE FLU CHANGE WILL NOT CAUSE A LITTLE SURGE TO FALL BELOW THE STANDARDS ADOPTED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THESE SERVICES FOR THE CURRENT PLANNING PERIOD.
THE WATER IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO THE PROPERTY HERE.
ALL PROPOSED LOTS WOULD NEED TO BE CONNECTED TO CITY SEWER DRAINAGE IF DEVELOPED.
A DRAINAGE PLAN MUST BE PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH CURRENT REGULATIONS AND APPROVED BY THE CITY. IF THE PROPERTY GOES THROUGH THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS AND PROPOSED STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WILL BE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY DURING THE BUILDING PERMITTING REVIEW PROCESS.
OLD WASTE ON WASTE COLLECTION IS PROVIDED TO THE AREA BY OUR PUBLIC SERVICES, SUFFICIENT CAPACITY EXISTS WITHIN BREVARD COUNTY LANDFILLS TO SERVICE THE PROPERTY.
INTER-GOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
THE PROPOSED FLOO AMENDMENT REQUESTED IS TO ALLOW THE SITE TO BE SUBDIVIDED INTO LOTS FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES UNDER THE CURRENT TWO ZONING SCHOOL BOARD OF OUR COUNTY HAS DETERMINED THAT TURNER ELEMENTARY, SOUTHWEST MIDDLE AND HERITAGE HIGH SCHOOL ARE PROJECTED TO CONTAIN ENOUGH CAPACITY FOR STUDENTS FROM THIS POTENTIAL SUBDIVISION TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT. THE OBJECTIVES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANS TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT ARE TO PROVIDE A SAFE, BALANCED AND EFFICIENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM THAT MAINTAINS THE ROADWAY LEVEL SERVICE ADEQUATELY SERVES THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY.
THAT WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE ANY ISSUES THAT MAY BE ACCOMMODATED BY THIS LAND USE.
HOWEVER, WHEN THE SUBDIVISION COMES IN, WE WILL PROBABLY BE LOOKING FOR SOME TYPE OF TRAFFIC ANALYSIS OR STUDY, DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF HOMES THAT THEY DO SUBMIT.
PROPERTY RIGHTS SETTLEMENT IS PROPOSED, LAND USE CHANGE DOES NOT APPEAR TO INFRINGE UPON THE PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THE APPLICANT STAFF RECOMMENDATION A CPA 16, 20 21 IS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL, SUBJECT TO STAFF COMMENTS.
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THE BOARD MAY HAVE.
THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.
THANK YOU, PATRICK. WELL, THE.
APPLICANT, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM.
HI, EVERYONE. MY NAME IS ALEX WINDORAH.
I'M THE CEO OF BLACK STALLION ENTERPRISES, A COMPANY THAT HAS THE CURRENTLY CONTRACT ON THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY.
SO MY PLAN, OUR PLAN IS ACTUALLY TO DO A SUBDIVISION THERE OF MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE.
[00:50:02]
WE DON'T SEE ANYTHING MORE THAT ACTUALLY THAN 40 UNITS BEING ABLE TO BE BUILT THERE BASED ON TWO ZONING.WE'VE DONE AN ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY, AN INITIAL ONE, ONE MORE HAS TO BE DONE.
YEAH. WE DEFINITELY BRING SEWER ALL THE WAY FROM EMERSON.
WE'VE STUDIED THAT HAVE TO BRING THE SEWER IN FROM EMERSON TO THE SITE AND WHATEVER OTHER REQUIREMENTS ZONING IS GOING TO ASK OF US.
THAT'S GOING TO BE HOW WE BUILD OUT A FEW OTHER THINGS, LIKE A RESERVOIR, POND OR WHATEVER ELSE REQUIRED.
OH, QUESTIONS LIKE WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING THAT THIS WAS PROBABLY A PRUDENT SOUND TO, AND I WAS ACTUALLY SURPRISED WHEN I SAW THE LETTER IT WAS IT WAS APPROVED AND IT JUST NEVER GOT PROCESSED TO THE STATE.
UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE GENTLEMAN.
AND NOW HERE WE ARE AGAIN, 14 YEARS LATER.
YEAH, IT'S A BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. FROM DORA. YES.
QUESTION IS THIS GOING TO BE A GATED COMMUNITY? I I DON'T ANTICIPATE BEING A GATED COMMUNITY.
WE WERE GOING TO GIVE BACK TO THE COUNTY, TO THE CITY.
YOU KNOW, THAT WAS WOULDN'T BE A FENCE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
NO, IT WASN'T GOING TO DO A FENCE, HUH? YEAH, HE HAD A QUESTION.
YEAH, IT'S A QUICK QUESTION FOR STAFF, WERE THEY REQUIRED TO DO A COMMUNITY MEETING? IF THEY PLAN TO DO A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, THEY WOULD DO A CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN IF THEY DO A CONVENTIONAL SUBDIVISION UNDER OURS TOO.
THEY WOULD NOT. THERE WOULD BE THE ABILITY TO DISCUSS THE PLAN WITH STAFF WHENEVER IT WAS SUBMITTED, THOUGH. AND THE OTHER QUESTION IS FOR MR VONDRA.
THANK YOU, SIR. IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS APPLICATION? OPPOSED.
MA'AM, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM.
AND THIS IS FOR OPPOSITION TO CPI, SIXTEEN TWENTY TWENTY ONE, CORRECT? OK. I'M A RESIDENT ON COCONUT, I'VE LIVED ON COCONUT STREET FOR 17 YEARS AND WE'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THE DRAINAGE, WHICH I DID NOTE THAT YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO DO SOME WORK WITH THE DRAINAGE ON THAT BECAUSE I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THAT FOR YEARS.
ANOTHER ISSUE THAT I HAVE WITH THIS IS THE TRAFFIC.
THE ONLY IN AND OUT ON THIS UNIT THAT THE GUY WANTS TO BUILD IS ON COCONUT COCONUT.
WE HAVE ISSUES WITH TRAFFIC NOW AND SPEEDERS.
SO SOMETHING'S GOING TO HAVE TO GET DONE ABOUT TRAFFIC.
I PROPOSE THAT WE DO NOT GO THROUGH WITH THIS BUILDING OF THE ACREAGE.
MA'AM, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE? MA'AM. TO MA'AM, TO A LADY WHO JUST SPOKE, DID YOU FILL OUT A COMMENT CARD? I HEAR. IT WOULD FILL THAT OUT AND LEAVE IT BACK AT THE PODIUM BEFORE YOUR TIME.
I LIVE A SEMINOLE IN COCONUT ST PALM BAY, FLORIDA.
ALSO, I HAVE MANY OF THE SAME CONCERNS OR GOING AROUND TALKING TO SOME OF THE PEOPLE IN THERE AND EVERYBODY I HEAR FROM.
I WAS SURPRISED NOT TO SEE HIM TONIGHT.
THEY ARE OPPOSED TO THIS LIKE THEY WERE BACK IN 2006 OR SEVEN RIGHT NOW, AS DONNA INDICATED. WE HAVE TOO MUCH TRAFFIC.
THEY FLY DOWN THERE 70 80 MILES AN HOUR.
WE'VE TRIED TO GET IN SPEED BUMPS.
THEY SAID IT'S NOT ZONED FOR IT.
IF WE GET NOW, YOU'RE GOING TO GET FIVE HOUSES PER ACRE, WHICH IS NOT EVEN A QUARTER ACRE. AND THAT'LL BE MUCH SMALLER THAN THE SURROUNDING AREAS.
ALREADY, I'M ON A CORNER, WHICH IS ABOUT A THIRD OF AN ACRE.
SO I HAVE ISSUES WITH THAT AND I BELIEVE BEFORE WAS ALSO FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD, IDENTIFIED AS A CONSERVATION HABITAT.
WE HAD ONE ALSO THEY BUILT BETWEEN MYSELF AND DONNA JUST RECENTLY.
THEY BOUGHT THE HOUSE LAST YEAR, BUT THEY HAD TO STOP BUILDING BECAUSE THERE WERE SCRUB JAYS ON THERE. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU ENDED UP GETTING THAT FIXED, BUT WE ALSO HAVE THE TURTLES OVER IN THAT AREA.
SO I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT ANYTHING HAS CHANGED BECAUSE MANY MORE ACRES HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED AROUND THERE AND ALL THESE ANIMALS ARE TRYING TO FIND A PLACE TO GO HOME, YOU KNOW, SO I WOULD IMAGINE SOME OF THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO MOVE INTO THAT AREA, AND I MENTIONED THAT THE UNITS THERE SEEMS TO BE TOO MANY THE SCHOOLS AGAIN.
WE SAY IT MIGHT NOT IMPACT THE PLACE, BUT FORTY SEVEN UNITS, I MEAN, THE UNITS THEY HAVE FOR FIFTY NINE UNITS, I GUESS, ARE PLANNING THAT WILL IMPACT THE SCHOOLS, ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, WHEN I HEARD THE OTHER TWO.
[00:55:02]
I'VE NOT BEEN TO A MEETING HERE FOUR YEARS SINCE I LIVED DOWN ON CUSA.BUT THE THING IS IT WILL AFFECT THE SCHOOLS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW PEOPLE CAN'T UNDERSTAND THAT.
I MEAN, WE HAVE FULL SCHOOLS NOW AS IT IS.
YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT.
YOU GOT TWO PLACES OUT THERE WITH A LOT OF ACRES.
YOU GOT THIS ONE HERE WITH 12 ACRES.
YOU KNOW WHERE ALL THESE KIDS GOING? WHERE ARE PEOPLE GOING TO PARK? YOU KNOW, I HAVE SOMEBODY WHO LIVES NEXT DOOR TO ME WITH FIVE CARS IN THE DRIVEWAY.
SIX PEOPLE LIVING IN THE HOUSE.
IT'S A THREE BEDROOM. SO THAT'S AFFECTS ME PERSONALLY.
BUT THAT IS PROBABLY GOING TO AFFECT THE PEOPLE IN THIS DEVELOPMENT AREA, TOO.
I WOULD ASSUME, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO SEE PALM BAY GO TRASHY.
YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE PALM BAY AS IT IS.
THEY THINK IT'S WORSE THAN MELBOURNE.
YOU KNOW, I'VE LIVED HERE SINCE NINETEEN NINETY ONE.
SO ANYWAYS, THE EX AT THE ENTRANCE, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE THAT SAWGRASS PLACE DOWN THERE IN WEST MELBOURNE.
YOU KNOW, THEY ONLY HAVE ONE EXIT AND ONE ENTRANCE.
THAT'S NOT GOOD FOR THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THEY HAVE.
THERE'S AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE REQUIRED.
YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE SOME KIND OF BETTER IN AND OUT NOW.
THERE'S ONE BEING BUILT OVER ON GRAPEFRUIT, A BIG DEVELOPMENT OVER THERE WITH MIRANDA AND HOLIDAY BUILDERS.
ANOTHER ONE THAT'S GOING TO HAVE ABOUT 47 UNITS.
AGAIN, ALL THOSE ARE GOING IN THERE.
VERY SLOW, OF COURSE, BUT THERE'S NO WAY THIS CANNOT AFFECT THE PEOPLE AROUND THEM, ESPECIALLY WHEN, LIKE DONNA INDICATED, WE GOT ONE LANE COMING AND GOING.
WE JUST GOT THEM, YOU KNOW, DONE RECENTLY.
BUT WITH PEOPLE FLYING DOWN THERE AND STUFF, IT'S JUST IT'S DANGEROUS FOR CHILDREN, ANYBODY THAT WE GET A LOT OF WALKERS DOWN THERE.
SO I WOULD THINK THAT THAT SEEMS TO BE AN AWFUL LOT OF HOUSES THAT YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS MAY APPROVE. IF YOU LIVED IN AN AREA LIKE IT, IT'D PROBABLY AFFECT YOU.
SO THAT'S WHY I DECIDED TO COME AND HOPEFULLY ON DECEMBER 3RD, IF IT COMES BACK UP LIKE IT INDICATED, I'M GOING TO HAVE PROBABLY A LOT MORE PEOPLE COME IN IF I CAN.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE? HI, MY NAME IS BENNY WOODLEY, I ALSO LIVE ON CAMPANHA AND I'VE LIVED THERE FOR 30 YEARS, AND MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS TRAFFIC.
THAT'S ONE WAY IN ONE WAY OUT.
FORTY EIGHT UNITS, EVERYBODY HAS AT LEAST TWO CARS, SOME KIDS HAVE THREE.
THAT'S GOING TO BE ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY CARS A DAY GOING IN AND OUT OF THAT, THAT THAT'S NOT GOING TO WORK. I LIVE RIGHT ALMOST ON THE CORNER THERE.
WHERE THEY'D ENTER WOULD BE RIGHT NEXT TO MY HOUSE AND.
THAT'S MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE TRAFFIC.
AND HOW COME EVERYBODY ELSE HAS QUARTER ACRE LOTS AND THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD FIVE PER? THAT'S NOT WHAT'S THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED UNDER THAT ZONING, BY THE WAY, THEY'RE EVEN 46 UNITS, NOT 59.
SO LIKE WHAT WHAT ZONING IS THERE ALL AROUND HERE IS, ARE ONE, ISN'T IT? WELL, WE'LL LET OUR WARNER RESPOND TO THAT, SIR.
OH, AND LIKE THIS LADY SAID, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HERE, BUT THE WHOLE I COULDN'T BELIEVE THEY DIDN'T COME EITHER. BUT THERE'LL BE A WHOLE LOT MORE AT THE NEXT ONE.
THANK YOU, MR. WOODLEY. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISH TO SPEAK? MR. FUNDER, DID YOU WANT TO RESPOND TO ANY OF THOSE COMMENTS? YES, I. I EXPECTED A TRAFFIC STUDY WOULD BE DONE FOR THE ROADS.
THAT'S THE FIRST THING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE ANYTHING IS APPROVED, OBVIOUSLY, AS FAR AS THE FLOODING IS CONCERNED AND WE ARE GOING TO BRING THE THE SEWER ALL THE WAY FROM EMERSON TO THE SITE, AND WE'RE ALSO BUILDING OUT THE PUMP STATION THERE TO HELP WITH THE DRAINAGE. SO I THINK THAT'LL HELP THE ROAD A LOT TREMENDOUSLY.
THE TRAFFIC IN THE CIRCLE, YOU KNOW, AT R-S TO IT'S PROBABLY 38 UNITS WILL BE APPROVED BY ZONING DEPARTMENT. IT WOULDN'T BE 46.
WE PUT 46 SIX, BUT I'D ASK TWO LINES 7500 SQUARE FOOT, EIGHT THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT.
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET. THERE IS A ROAD AROUND THE BACK LIKE THE GENTLEMAN I'VE DRIVEN AROUND THERE, AROUND THE BACK THAT COMES OFF OF STARLING.
SO THERE'S MULTIPLE ACCESSES THERE.
I DON'T KNOW. WE HAVE TO DO ANOTHER ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY, THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT THAT WE DID, WHICH IS DONE BY CONSOLIDATED SOMEBODY HERE IN THE CITY.
THERE WAS NO GOPHER TORTOISES.
THERE WAS ANOTHER ASSESSMENT THAT HE RECOMMENDED FOR THE SCRUB JAYS THAT WE DO KNOW BALD
[01:00:02]
EAGLES NEST. I WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE COME HERE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING LIKE THAT WITH AN ISSUE, SO I HOPE WE CAN WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY.YOU KNOW, YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY, MAKE IT, MAKE IT AS LEAST DIFFICULT AS POSSIBLE.
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
MR. FROM NEWARK. PATRICK, I JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT THE LAND USE CATEGORY ALLOWS FOR A MAXIMUM FIVE YEARS PER ACRE AND THAT IS IN PLACE FOR HIGHER DENSITY DEVELOPMENT THAT GOES THROUGH A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT.
WHAT YOU TYPICALLY SEE WITH A DEVELOPMENT LIKE THIS, ONCE YOU TAKE OUT THE ACREAGE FOR THE ROADS AND YOU TAKE OUT THE ACREAGE FOR THE STORMWATER, YOU DON'T GET FIVE UNITS PER ACRE. WHAT WE'VE BEEN SEEING IN THESE SUBDIVISIONS IS CLOSER TO ABOUT THREE, THREE AND A HALF THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY OF OURS.
TWO ZONING ARE BASICALLY QUARTER ACRE LOTS, WHICH WORKS OUT TO DENSITY OF FOUR UNITS PER ACRE. SO WHEN WHEN GDC DEVELOPED THE PORT MALABAR UNITS, YOU CAN SEE THEY PUT ROADS AND THEY PUT SOME DITCHES, BUT THERE'S NOT LARGE STORMWATER PONDS.
THAT'S NOT A TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT THAT YOU CAN DO NOWADAYS THROUGH THE ST.
JOHN'S REQUIREMENTS YOU HAVE TO DO ON SITE RETENTION.
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DO A DUAL DRY AND TO WET STORMWATER RETENTION, AND IT STARTS TO EAT INTO THE OVERALL SIZE OF THE SUBDIVISIONS.
THAT'S WHY IN THE LAST, YOU KNOW, 10, 15 YEARS WE'VE BEEN SEEING SUBDIVISIONS NOT GETTING THAT HIGH OF DENSITY.
IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO DO THAT WITH JUST SINGLE FAMILY.
SO WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS PROBABLY THREE TO THREE AND A HALF BACKS ONCE YOU ONCE YOU TAKE OUT ALL THE OTHER DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.
THANK YOU, PATRICK. AT THIS POINT, I'LL CLOSE A PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD FOR A A MOTION.
I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF.
WHO DO DO THE PROCESS START ALL OVER AGAIN FOR THIS GENTLEMAN IF THIS IS APPROVED? I NOTICED THAT IT WAS AND APPROVED AND SUBMITTED TO THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS, BUT SOMEHOW IT DIED THERE.
WHEN THIS WAS ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED BECAUSE IT WAS OVER 10 ACRES AT THAT TIME, IT WAS CONSIDERED A LARGE SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAP AMENDMENT.
THERE WAS A HOUSE BILL THAT WAS APPROVED ABOUT MAYBE SIX OR SEVEN MONTHS AGO THAT CHANGED THE THRESHOLD FOR WHAT'S CALLED A LARGE SCALE AMENDMENT TO 50 ACRES.
SO THIS IS NOW CONSIDERED A SMALL SCALE AMENDMENT, SO IT DOES NOT NEED TO GO TO THE STATE. IT GOES THROUGH CITY COUNCIL AND THEY VOTE ON IT.
NOW THE PREVIOUS ONE WHERE YOU SAW ESPINAL, THAT WAS FIVE SQUARE MILES, I MEAN, THAT'S OBVIOUSLY A LARGE SCALE THAT IF IT GETS APPROVED BY COUNCIL, HAS TO GO TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY.
THEY REVIEW IT, PROVIDE COMMENTS BACK TO US IF THEY RECOMMEND APPROVAL, COMES BACK TO US AND COUNCIL HAS TO HEAR IT ONE MORE TIME AND ADOPT THAT ONE.
THIS IS A SMALL SCALE, SO IT WON'T GO UP TO THE STATE.
IT'LL JUST GO TO CITY COUNCIL.
IF THERE ARE NO THE QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS, I NEED A MOTION, PLEASE.
MOTION TO APPROVE CP 16, DASH 20 21.
OKAY. SUBJECT TO STAFF'S COMMENTS.
SECOND. THE WEB A MOTION A MOTION FROM RICHARD, SECOND FROM JAMES.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY I.
MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY MR. VON DER. BEFORE WE ADJOURN, I JUST WANT TO REMIND THE BOARD THAT WE HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING. SECOND, MEETING FOR THIS MONTH ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15TH, AND THAT MEETING WILL START AT SIX O'CLOCK.
SO EVERYONE, PLEASE TRY TO BE HERE.
IF THERE'S NO OTHER BUSINESS, MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
