[00:00:01]
SO GOOD EVENING, I'M GOING TO CALL THE BAYFRONT COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING TO
[CALL TO ORDER]
ORDER. I'M GOING TO START BY ASKING DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON TO LEAD US IN THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, PLEASE. THE FOSTER UNITED STATES OF COURT, WHICH.OK, SIR, THE GUY, THE PHYSICAL PRIVACY, KARL ROVE.
THANK YOU, DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON DANIELLE ROEKEL, CHAIRMAN, MEDINA, PRESIDENT, VICE CHAIRMAN, JOHNSON HERE, COMMISSIONER FELIX COMMISSIONER, FOSTER YEAH.
COMMISSIONER FILIBERTO, YOU'RE BAYFRONT CITY ATTORNEY PATRICIA SMITH HERE.
SO WE HAVE THE ADOPTION OF THE MINISTERIAL.
[ADOPTION OF MINUTES]
YES. ADOPTION MINUTES FOR BAYFRONT CIARA, REGULAR MEETING NUMBER 20, 21, 12 SEP 16, 2020 ONE.I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION GENTLEMAN SO MOVED I'VE A MOTION BY.
VICE CHAIRMAN JOHNSON ABOUT COUNCILMAN FELIX, I THINK.
A SECOND HOUSE, SECOND BY MR. COMMISSIONER FILIBERTO.
ALL IN FAVOR. HI, WE'RE ON PUBLIC COMMENTS.
[PUBLIC COMMENTS]
MR., OR VICE CHAIR, YES, CHAIR, WE HAVE MR. M. HOWARD.I AM MEL HOWARD, 13, 31, SOUTH HARBOR CITY BOULEVARD, MELBOURNE, FLORIDA.
I'M YOUR CURRENT COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE BROKER.
WHICH ONE ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? THE. THE OPEN.
SIXTEEN, TWENTY SIX. ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL, YES, SIR.
THERE'S A PARCEL, I BROUGHT A THUMB DRIVE, BUT THERE WAS NO ONE HERE TO PUT THAT IN.
BUT ANYWAY. SIXTEEN TWENTY SIX IS A PART OF YOUR SURPLUS PROPERTIES THAT YOU HAVE FOR SALE. AND THEN WE RECENTLY TOOK THEM OFF THE MARKET BECAUSE THERE WAS A GLITCH IN HOW THEY WERE PUT ON THE MARKET.
SO WE HAD TO GO BACK AND DO THE PROCESS OVER AGAIN.
I BELIEVE PATRICIA BROUGHT SOMETHING UP THAT THERE WAS A MISTAKE DONE WHEN WE WERE DOING IT. AND SO THEN THERE WE ARE.
HOWEVER, I DO HAVE A CLIENT THAT WANTED TO BUY THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY, AND THE CLIENT WANTS TO OFFER FULL PRICE FOR IT.
BUT THERE'S ANOTHER LITTLE SMALL PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT'S NEXT TO THE RETENTION POND ON ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL, AND IT IS A DIAMOND SHAPE AND THERE'S A PARCEL THAT'S TO THE NORTH OF SIXTEEN TWENTY SIX.
ORANGE BLOSSOM AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS A AN EASEMENT FOR A ROAD.
NOW, THE CLIENT THAT WANTS TO BUY 16 TWENTY SIX WANTS TO BUY IT AND ASK THE CITY IF THEY WOULD THROW IN THE REST OF THAT LITTLE TRIANGLE, THAT'S A PART OF THE RETENTION POND PROPERTY, AND IT'S HARD TO DESCRIBE WITHOUT SHOWING YOU ON ON THIS THUMB DRIVE, BUT HE WANTS THAT THROWN IN.
TO SEE IF IF HE AND HE'S WORKING ON A DEVELOPMENT PROJECT IN THAT AREA, WHICH YOU ALL KNOW ABOUT. SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING IS IF YOU ADVOCATE THAT EASEMENT OR THE ROAD BECAUSE THE ROAD GOES TO NOWHERE AND THERE'S NO REASON TO EVER BUILD THE ROAD AND THE PROPERTY THAT IT GOES TO IS A TRIANGULAR SHAPE AND JUST AN OFFSHOOT OF SOMETHING ELSE.
AND IF THIS WOULD BE INCLUDED IN ON 16 TWENTY SIX, IT WOULD REALLY HELP THE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT CURRENTLY UNDERWAY.
AND THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT TODAY.
SO I DO HAVE A THUMB DRIVE THAT I BROUGHT THAT I CAN LEAVE WITH YOU ALL SO YOU CAN SEE EXACTLY WHAT PROPERTIES THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, AND I DID AN AERIAL SHOWING WHAT WE WANT INCLUDED. I APOLOGIZE THAT WE DON'T HAVE SOMEONE TO SHOW YOU THAT TODAY.
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO DO, THANK YOU.
THE ADDITIONAL SPEAKER CARDS, MA'AM.
HE COMMENTS REGARDING THE VACATING THAT EASEMENT.
SHARE THAT THAT WAS PART OF THIS.
WHAT WE SHOULD DO IS CERTAINLY BE VACATING THE EASEMENT IS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO COME BEFORE COUNCIL AND THAT ACTUALLY HAS TO COME SEPARATE.
WE CAN'T ACTUALLY, IN OUR CONTRACT SAY WHAT COUNCIL IS GOING TO DO REGARDING THE
[00:05:01]
EASEMENT. WE CAN'T CONTRACT THAT BECAUSE I ALSO CAN'T BE BOUND BY SOMETHING THAT WE CONTRACT. YOU ALL HAVE THOSE POWERS AND THEY CAN'T BE CONTRACTED AWAY.THERE IS A WHOLE HOST OF CASES AS FAR AS CONTRACT IN YOUR POLICE POWERS.
THAT CAN BE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED.
STAFF CAN BRING IT FORWARD, BUT YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER THAT LIKE YOU WOULD CONSIDER ANYTHING ELSE. AND IT CAN'T BE THAT YOUR DECISION IS PREDETERMINED BY A CONTRACT IP.
THANK YOU. MR. MR., JUST WONDERING IF WE CAN PUT THIS ITEM ON FOR THE NEXT BCR MEETING, WE PUT ON A NEW BUSINESS REGARDING.
INDICATING THAT. I THINK IT'S A IT'S A COUNCIL DECISION IS WHAT OUR CITY ATTORNEY SAID.
RIGHT, WELL, WE HAVE TO CONSIDER THAT HERE IT'S TWO SEPARATE ISSUES.
I THINK WHAT'S BEFORE US TODAY IS THE ACTUAL PROPERTY LISTING, IT IS THAT THAT CORRECT? RIGHT, AND ONE OF THOSE PROPERTIES IS THE PROPERTY THAT THE GENTLEMAN IS MENTIONING, RIGHT? YEAH, BUT HE'S TALKING ABOUT 16 26 ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL, OH, I'M SORRY.
TWENTY SIX, THERE'S AN EASY MEASUREMENT, AND SO THAT'S WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.
BUT I BELIEVE THE ATTORNEY IS SAYING THAT WE WOULD TAKE THE VACATION OF AN EASEMENT SEPARATELY. THAT IS CORRECT.
BUT. PUTTING THIS BACK FOR SALE IS IS PROBABLY WHAT HE'S LOOKING TO DO.
JUST THE SALE CAN'T BE CONTINGENT.
IF I'M TRACKING YOU CORRECTLY, THE SALE CAN BE CONTINGENT ON THE THE VACATING OF THE EASEMENT. IS THAT CORRECT, MADAM ATTORNEY? YES, SIR. OK. JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT, YOU KNOW, CLARIFY THAT ON THE RECORD.
BUT AT LEAST STEP ONE IS GET ONE OF ONE OF THE THREE PROPERTIES THAT ARE WE'RE DISCUSSING TODAY IS GOING TO BE LISTED BACK IF THIS COUNCIL OR THESE COMMISSIONERS DECIDE TO PUT IT BACK ON THE MARKET. SO THAT'S THAT'S HOW THAT EQUATES, BUT WE CAN'T VACATE THAT EASEMENT.
BUT THAT'S THE DUTIES OF SOMEONE ELSE OR ANOTHER.
ANOTHER BODY, RIGHT? THANK YOU. SO, NO, WELL, THE SPEAKER CARDS, NO OTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS, SO WE'LL GO RIGHT INTO THAT BAY FROM TIARA SURPLUS REAL ESTATE ITEM NUMBER ONE.
[NEW BUSINESS]
I'M AT THE SPECIAL MEETING ON NUMBER 20 21 12, WHICH WAS HELD ON SEPTEMBER 16.THE SIERRA AWARDED AN RFP FIFTY NINE TWO ZERO TWO ZERO TWO ONE S Z FOR COMMERCIAL BROKERAGE TO ONE SOTHEBY'S INTERNATIONAL BOVARD MELBOURNE.
SO THIS WAS FOR A ONE YEAR CONTRACT AND RENEWABLE FOR FOUR MORE ONE YEAR TERMS. IN THAT RFP WAS AN ATTACHMENT FOR A LIST OF PROPERTIES INCLUDED FIVE PROPERTIES, FOUR OF WHICH WERE OWNED BY THE CRA.
THEY ARE FIFTEEN EIGHTY TWO WATER DRIVE 16 AND EIGHT ORANGE BLOSSOM.
AN UNKNOWN ADDRESS ON ORANGE BLOSSOM.
AND THEN A CITY OWNED PARCEL LOCATED AT FOURTEEN HUNDRED SPORTSMAN LANE.
SO THE BROKER LISTED THE PROPERTIES.
AND AS WE WERE PREPARING FOR THE SPECIAL BCRA MEETING ON FEBRUARY 22ND, TWENTY TWENTY TWO STAFF IDENTIFIED THAT THE THREE PARCELS ON OBUCHI, WHICH WERE ORIGINALLY LISTED ON THE LIST ATTACHMENT. A LIST OF PROPERTIES WITH THE FORMER BROKER WERE REMOVED SUBSEQUENT BEFORE THE ACTUAL APPROVAL BY THE CRA AND THE CITY COUNCIL.
SO WE HAVE NOT OFFICIALLY SURPLUS THOSE THREE PARCELS PARCELS ON.
SO THIS IS JUST GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS TO APPROVE THOSE PROPERTIES AS SURPLUS.
YOUR PLEASURE. SO MOVED ON, A MOTION BY VICE CHAIRMAN JOHNSON GOT A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER FELIX.
ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION, LET'S DISCUSS THIS QUESTION.
FILIBERTO. THAT'S JUST JUST SOME DISCUSSION, SOME THOUGHTS.
I WAS TRYING TO I DON'T KNOW IF THIS.
THE WAS INTERESTED IN GETTING A BRIGHT LINE STOP HERE IN PALM BAY.
THAT WAS SOMETHING I'VE BEEN TRYING TO WORK ON ALONG WITH STAFF.
THIS IS KIND OF OUR LAST PROPERTY NEXT TO THE RAILROAD TRACKS, SO I JUST WANT TO MENTION THAT. THE ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION.
[00:10:04]
SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT THAT THAT PROPERTY COULD BE USED? TO CREATE A STOP, I FEEL I FEEL IT COULD.THERE'S ALREADY A PARKING LOT THERE NEXT TO A POLICE STATION.
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACKS, BUT I FEEL THAT, YEAH, IT COULD BE A VIABLE SPOT FOR A SMALL, BRIGHT LINE STOP.
BRIGHT LINE WISHES TO HAVE A STOP IN PALM BAY.
I WOULD LOVE FOR BRIGHT LINE TO HAVE A STOP IN PALM BAY COMMISSIONER.
I JUST THINK THAT PERHAPS WE NEED TO CREATE A DESTINATION, MAKE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL FOR THEM TO SAY, OK, SOME OF THE PASSENGERS WANT TO GET OFF HERE AND GO.
THE THING IS, IS THAT WE DO HAVE THE RESIDENCY, THE 120000 PEOPLE HERE WHO WOULD PROBABLY LOVE TO USE THAT BRIGHT LINE, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
SO THAT'S WHY THAT'S WHAT I WAS CONSIDERING TO STOP FOR.
AND THEN ONCE THE STOP HAPPENED, THEN WE CAN CONSIDER THE BEAUTIFICATION ASPECT OF IT.
AND I THINK THIS COUNCIL, I THINK VICE CHAIRMAN JOHNSON AND COMMISSIONER FELIX AND I WE WE RECENTLY WITNESSED A A BRIEFING BY BRIGHTLINE AS A MATTER OF FACT, THIS PAST WEDNESDAY, RIGHT? AND THERE THEY ARE, LOOKING AT BREVARD COUNTY TO STOP.
HOWEVER, THEY WON'T DISCLOSE WHERE THEY DID MENTION THEY ARE LOOKING.
WELL, STOP SOMEWHERE IN BOVARD COUNTY.
THEY MAY HAVE THEIR EYES SOMEWHERE ELSE.
UNDERSTOOD, BUT FOR US TO HAVE ANY SHOT, IT WOULD BE THE PROPERTY.
AGAIN, I'M NOT TRYING TO HOLD THIS UP.
I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT THAT'S ALSO, YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S WELL MENTIONED AND IT'S WELL NOTED, COMMISSIONER, BECAUSE QUITE FRANKLY, I AGREE WE SHOULD.
IF ANYONE SHOULD GET A STOP, IT SHOULD BE CITY OF PALM BAY, THE GREATEST CITY ON THE FACE OF THE YEAR. SOMEONE SHOULD SHARE THAT WITH BRIGHT, PLEASE.
SO I'VE GOT A MOTION IN A SECOND.
ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION, GENTLEMEN? SEEING ON I'M CALLING THE QUESTION ALL IN FAVOR.
AND HE NAMES PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
CONSIDERATION OF THE PURCHASE OFFER OFFER FOR THE BAYFRONT SIERRA LEONE SURPLUS REAL ESTATE, LOCATED AT FIFTEEN EIGHTY TWO WATER DRIVE NORTHEAST FROM BUYER MIKE TIMMONS IN APRIL TO TWENTY SEVENTEEN, THE SIERRA ACQUIRED THE FOUR POINT FORTY FOUR ACRE PARCEL.
CURRENTLY LOCATED AT FIFTEEN EIGHTY TWO WATER DRIVE, THE SIERRA WANTED TO LAND BANK AND THROUGH THEIR PROPERTY ACQUISITION INITIATIVE AND PURCHASED IT FROM THELMA VAN GORDER QUAY AND TERENCE HILL FOR THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, THERE WAS A SIX THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE SQUARE FOOT TWO STORY BUILDING ON THE PROPERTY, WHICH HAS SINCE BEEN DEMOLISHED.
ON MARCH 5TH, 2020, THE SIERRA DECLARED THIS PROPERTY AS SURPLUS, SO THE COMMERCIAL BROKER DID A COMPARATIVE MARKET ANALYSIS AND SUGGESTED A LISTING PRICE OF THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY, WHICH IS WHAT TO THE SIERRA PURCHASE IT AT THE CITY CONTRACTED WITH W.H.
BENSON AND CO. TO COMPLETE AN APPRAISAL ON THIS PARCEL AND IN SEVERAL SEVERAL OTHER COMMERCIAL PARCELS THAT WE OWNED AND WE RECEIVED.
THEIR APPRAISAL WAS DETERMINED TO BE ABOUT ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY TWO THOUSAND.
SO ON FEBRUARY 22ND TWENTY TWENTY TWO, THE CITY RECEIVED VACANT LAND CONTRACT FROM MIKE TIMMONS IN THE AMOUNT OF ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY TWO THOUSAND.
BOTH MIKE TIMMONS AND, OF COURSE, OUR COMMERCIAL BROKERS HERE, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.
ANY QUESTIONS, COUNCILMAN? I KIND OF LIKE THE 330000 THAT WAS MENTIONED, OF COURSE.
AFTER THE APPRAISAL, IT CAME DOWN.
AND SEE, WHEN WAS THE SUPREME COURT? THE. ON DECEMBER 23RD, 2021.
TWO MONTHS THIS PAST DECEMBER, I'M SORRY.
PERHAPS YOU MAY WANT TO HAVE THE COMMERCIAL BROKERS SPEAK TO IN HIS KMA, HE TALKED ABOUT FINDING COMPARABLES AND HOW DIFFICULT IT WAS.
HE ACTUALLY SUGGESTED IN THERE THAT THE SALES PRICE WOULD BE AROUND TWO HUNDRED.
IT WAS TWO HUNDRED AND TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY THOUSAND, BUT HE WANTED TO LIST IT AT THE 330 BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT THE AREA AS A WHOLE, IT WOULD BE ONE PARCEL IN A LARGER PROJECT. FELT THAT BECAUSE WE PURCHASED IT FOR 330, THAT'S WHAT HE LISTED IT.
[00:15:01]
MR. MALE HOWARD. NEED TO DO MY NAME THING AGAIN.MAL HOWARD, 13, THIRTY ONE, SOUTH HARBOR CITY BOULEVARD.
LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE MORE HISTORY ON THAT.
I WAS AT A CRA MEETING BEFORE YOU BOUGHT THAT PROPERTY.
DANIELLE WAS THERE AND I THINK IT WAS JAMES MARSHALL.
HE TOLD US THAT THE CITY WAS GOING TO BUY THAT PROPERTY FOR FOUR HUNDRED FORTY OR FOUR HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND.
AND I STOOD UP AT THAT MEETING AND WENT, NO WAY YOU SHOULD OFFER THIS WOMAN THREE HUNDRED THIRTY. SHE'LL TAKE IT BECAUSE THE BUILDING WAS DILAPIDATED.
THE MASONS WERE IN THE BUILDING.
I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING THE MASONS OUT OF THAT BUILDING TO ANOTHER AREA DOWN THE ROAD. AND SO ANYWAY, WE KNEW THE THAT BUILDING PRETTY WELL.
SO THE CITY, THE SIERRA DID BUY IT FOR THREE 30 UNDER MY RECOMMENDATION BECAUSE I WAS PUTTING TOGETHER AN ASSEMBLAGE OF OTHER PROPERTIES AROUND IT.
ORIGINALLY, I CAME TO THE CITY AND TALKED TO PATRICK MURPHY BECAUSE I WANTED TO PUT A WAWA ON THE CORNER OF U.S.
AND HE SAID, THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN'T GET PUT GAS ON THAT CORNER.
AND I SAID, WHAT DO YOU WANT ON THE CORNER? BECAUSE I CAN SEE THERE COULD BE A REALLY GOOD PROJECT HERE OVERLOOKING THE BAY THAT WAS IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN.
SO THEN WHEN YOU BOUGHT IT FOR THREE THIRTY, IT MADE SENSE AT THAT TIME BECAUSE THE OTHER PROPERTIES WERE SELLING FOR FIVE HUNDRED AND FIVE FIFTY AND THIS IS FIFTEEN TWENTY SIX WATER DRIVE, FIFTEEN SIXTY EIGHT WATER DRIVE.
AND THEN YOU HAD FIFTEEN EIGHTY TWO, WHICH YOU BOUGHT.
SO THAT ALL BEING SAID, WE WERE TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER THIS PROJECT TO ENTICE SOMEONE TO DEVELOP OVERLOOKING THE BAY.
WE EVEN DID DRONE SHOTS SHOWING WHAT YOUR CONDO WOULD LOOK LIKE IF YOU'RE ON THE EIGHTH FLOOR LOOKING AT THAT BAY.
WELL, ANYWAY, THAT ALL BEING SAID, I BECAME THE BROKER FOR THE CITY OF PALM BAY, AND THE PREVIOUS BROKER PUT THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND ON THAT PROPERTY.
SEEING THAT YOU PURCHASED IT, PURCHASED IT FOR THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND.
I WENT AHEAD AND RECOMMENDED THREE 30 BECAUSE REAL REALIZE I'M A REAL ESTATE BROKER.
I'M ALWAYS GOING TO GO FOR THE HIGHEST PRICE IF I'M SELLING SOMETHING.
SO THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO DO.
THEN WHEN THE APPRAISAL WAS DONE, I WAS TOLD I WAS TOLD BY THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE THAT, HEY, THE APPRAISAL IS WHAT DO THEY CALL THAT NOT OPEN SEASON, BUT OPEN RECORD AND MR. TIMMONS KNEW WHAT THE APPRAISAL WAS.
AND SO THEN WE WERE KIND OF BLINDSIDED BY THAT APPRAISAL.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT DID APPRAISE FOR 192 BECAUSE IT'S A A SMALL PIECE OF LAND.
IT'S REALLY HARD TO BUILD ON AND THAT I'M SORRY, DO I NEED TO STOP? THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
AND IN OUR APPRAISALS, ONE, ONE, NINETY ONE, NINETY TWO.
I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THAT APPRAISAL.
BUT I CERTAINLY I DON'T I DON'T.
IF YOU WANT TO STEP UP, SIR, BUT I DON'T, I'M NOT SURE OF LOSING MONEY FOR THIS.
FOR THE CITY. GO AHEAD, MR. TIMMONS, CHAIRMAN.
HARD TO GO BACK AND FORTH FROM THE MAYOR, BUT CHAIRMAN, VICE CHAIRMEN AND COMMISSIONERS, OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE YOU KNOW, I HAVE ACQUIRED MULTIPLE LAND PARCELS IN THE AREA.
THE SOME OF THE COMPS WERE COMPARED TO LAND THAT I'VE ALREADY PURCHASED IN THE AREA AND THAT LAND WAS AROUND.
SIX DOLLARS, SEVEN DOLLARS A SQUARE FOOT WITH BETTER FRONTAGE AND ALSO RIPARIAN RIGHTS ON THE OTHER SIDE. SO THOSE WERE THE COMMENTS THAT CAME IN.
IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT THE LAND OFFER IS, IT'S IT'S ABOUT $10 A SQUARE FOOT.
I HAVE PURCHASED THE LAND NEXT DOOR TO THAT AND NEXT DOOR TO THE OTHER ONE.
AND I THINK YOU'LL FIND THAT THE COMPS ARE EXTREMELY STRONG FOR WHAT THAT LAND IS.
IT HAS ONE ACCESS, WHICH IS JESSE IN THE FRONT ACCESS.
IF THAT STAYS OPEN BEHIND THAT HOUSE IS A HOUSE THAT'S I DON'T KNOW, I'M GUESSING 100 YEARS OLD THAT I WAS TOLD HE WILL SELL IN THE 21ST CENTURY BY HIM.
HE HAS NO INTEREST IN SELLING, SO CERTAINLY DEVALUES THAT PROPERTY TO MAKE A BIGGER
[00:20:05]
PARCEL OUT OF IT.BUT I HAVE TOLD THE CITY BEFORE, YOU KNOW, I AM INVESTING IN THE MARINA, I AM INVESTING IN THAT AREA. I HAVE BOUGHT LAND ACROSS THE STREET.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A DOWNTOWN CITY CENTER IN THAT AREA, WHICH SO I THINK THAT THE OFFER THAT I PUT FORWARD IS A FAIR OFFER.
AND YES, IT WAS. IT WAS GIVEN TO ME BY THE CITY.
I WAS LOOKING TO DO A SWAP ON SOME OTHER PROPERTY THAT I HAD THAT I THINK WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE CITY. SO THAT WAS INCLUDING INCLUDE AT THE TIME IN THAT ONE.
IT'S AN IMPORTANT PIECE FOR ME, BUT.
THE CITY CAME BACK AND THEY HAD A PRAISE, AND I SAID, JUST DO THE APPRAISAL AND WHATEVER THAT APPRAISAL COMES BACK IS, THAT'S FAIR.
I DON'T KNOW ANY APPRAISERS IN THE AREA.
SO DO AN APPRAISAL CAME BACK AT ONE NINETY TWO AND THAT'S WHAT I BELIEVE IS A FAIR OFFER.
UNDERSTAND THAT YOU PAID MORE FOR IT, BUT YOU ALSO PAID MORE BECAUSE THERE WAS A DEVELOPED SEVEN THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT STRUCTURE ON THE LAND.
THANK YOU, MR. TIMMONS, AND I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
THE DISCUSSION. MY LEFT, ANYTHING ON MY RIGHT.
I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO CONSIDER THE PURCHASE OFFER OF ONE HUNDRED NINETY TWO THOUSAND OR THE BAILEY FRONT CRA OWN SURPLUS REAL ESTATE LOCATED AT 15 A82 WATER DRIVE NORTHEAST.
I HAVE A SECOND. A SECOND FOR DISCUSSION.
I'M VICE CHAIR, YOUR CHAIR, I'LL BE BRIEF CHAIR BECAUSE HE DID SAY SOMETHING THAT I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING. THERE WAS A STRUCTURE THERE AT THAT TIME.
YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE WITH THE HOUSE, IF IF IT'S AN EMPTY LOT, IT'S GOING TO BE A DIFFERENT APPRAISAL VALUE COMPARED TO A HOUSE BEING THERE.
WHETHER THE HOUSE IS PERFECT OR NOT IS GOING TO BE A DIFFERENT APPRAISAL VALUE.
I KNOW COMMISSIONER FELIX IS GOING TO WEIGH IN MORE ON IT, BUT THAT'S WHY, YOU KNOW, IF IT WOULD BE IN ONE THING IF IT WAS 190 TWO AND MR. TIMMONS TRY TO, YOU KNOW, HIT US WITH ONE 80000, THEN I'LL LOOK AT MR. TIMMONS AND SAY, NO WAY.
BUT BEING THAT HE'S HE'S NOT TRYING TO GO BELOW THE OFFER LIKE WE'VE SEEN OTHER CASES, IT'S SOMETHING I CAN DO WITH.
THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR COMMISSIONER FELIX.
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. NORMALLY, I'LL BE THE ONE THAT SAYS, YOU KNOW.
LET'S LET'S GET A LITTLE MORE.
OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S WHY YOU'RE GETTING IT, AND I TELL YOU WHAT, I TRULY BELIEVE IN COLLABORATION AND PARTNERSHIP.
I SEE WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO IN THAT AREA.
I'VE READ THAT YOU REALLY PUT SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL THERE, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE SIMPLY TRYING TO ASSEMBLE ANY PIECE OF PROPERTY.
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER FELIX, AND I TRULY BELIEVE WHEN YOU SAY THAT YOU'D BE THE LAST ONE, YOU'D BE THE ONE HOLDING SOME OF OUR POTENTIAL BUYERS TO THE FIRE, EVEN EVEN TRYING TO GET AN EXTRA FIVE OR TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.
THAT HAS BEEN YOUR HISTORY, COMMISSIONER FILIBERTO.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO WEIGH IN, SIR? YES, THANK YOU, CHAIR. MR. TIMMONS, I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE PART OF YOUR MASTER PLAN.
I LOOK FORWARD TO WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO FOR THE BAYFRONT COMMUNITY, SO I'M GOING TO SUPPORT THIS DECISION FOR THE 192.
WE'RE PUTTING A LOT OF FAITH IN YOU, SO I HOPE YOU COME THROUGH, SIR.
PALM BAY, THANK YOU, YOUR CHAIR.
AT THE START, I WOULDN'T SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE CITY MADE A MISTAKE BY IT.
BUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING IN THE COMMUNITY GIVES ME HOPE FOR THE PAYPHONE.
I'M GOING TO SUPPORT IT. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER FOSTER, AND I'M RIDING ALONG SIDE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. I THINK MR. TIMMONS HAS SHARED THE INVESTMENT THAT HE'S DONE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
I KEEP DECLARING THAT THIS IS THE GREATEST CITY ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH, AND THIS GOES RIGHT ALONG WITH WHAT COMMISSIONER FILIBERTO INTERESTINGLY HAD PREVIOUSLY SAID IN OUR PREVIOUS ITEM OF OF GETTING BRIGHT LINE HERE IF THERE IS A DESTINATION.
OUR CHANCES INCREASE FOR THAT STOP.
I HAVE A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER FELIX.
I'M CALLING TO QUESTION ALL IN FAVOR PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
[00:25:03]
CONGRATULATIONS, MR..A COMMISSIONER REPORTS I'LL START OUT MY LEFT END.
[COMMISSIONER REPORTS]
MR. IN FILIBERTO. WELL, THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR, JUST FOR ONE REPORT, I WANTED TO MENTION THOSE IN BAYFRONT COMMUNITY THAT THE SHORELINE MOTEL AND THE CONCRETE PLANT NEXT DOOR WAS FINALLY DEMOLISHED.I KNOW THAT WAS AN EYESORE, BUT WE FINALLY GOT RID OF IT.
SO JUST WANT TO REPORT THAT ALSO SOMETHING ELSE TO REPORT.
I'M SURE THERE'S THIS COMMISSION KNOWS OUR U.S.
ONE IS PART OF THE NATIONAL SCENIC BYWAY PROGRAM.
I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT THERE'S BEEN RENEWED FUNDING FOR THAT PROGRAM.
AND THERE'S A POSSIBLE POSSIBILITY OF A GRANT OR WHAT HAVE YOU POSSIBLY TO CLEAR THE BRAZILIAN PALM BAY TREES ALONG THE SHORELINE OR TO PLANT SOME MANGROVES TO DO SOME IMPROVEMENTS ALONG U.S.
ONE? AGAIN, I'M LOOKING FOR TAXPAYERS DOLLARS FOR THIS.
JUST SEEING I WENT TO THIS COMMISSION IS OK WITH IT.
I WOULD LIKE STAFF TO EXPLORE WHAT KIND OF FUNDING WE CAN GET FROM BEING THAT U.S.
ONE AND BAYFRONT COMMUNITY AS PART OF THE NATIONAL SCENIC BYWAY PROGRAM.
SO I GOT A THUMBS UP FOR THAT.
ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAVE A REALLY OUTSTANDING TEAM WHEN IT COMES TO THE GRANT, SO YOU GOT A THUMBS UP HERE, I THINK VICE CHAIRMAN'S GOT A THUMBS UP.
YOU GOT A UNANIMOUS THUMBS UP ON THIS SUGGESTION.
COMMISSIONER FILIBERTO AND I THINK STAFF WILL MOVE FORWARD.
IS THAT DOES THAT CONCLUDE YOUR REPORT? YES, SIR. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER FELIX CHAIR I DON'T HAVE TIME.
THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER FOSTER REPORT.
I SHARE NO REPORTS AND NO REPORTS FROM THE CHAIR, OTHER AGENCY BUSINESS SEEING NONE.
I'M CALLING THIS MEETING ADJOURNED.
