SO WE ARE NOW ON PROCLAMATIONS AND RECOGNITIONS AND DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.[00:05:05]
NO, YOU'RE. YEAH, YOU GO.GOOD EVENING. AND I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE THE CHAMBER OR CHAMBER'S FULL.
I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT IN A WHILE, SO I ASKED TO LEAN OVER OVER.
MY CITY MANAGER ASKED WHAT'S THE DRAW TONIGHT? SO THERE'S A LOT OF GREAT THINGS GOING ON AND I KNOW A LOT OF GREAT RECOGNITION, SO I'M VERY PLEASED TO BE PART OF THIS AND I'M EXCITED TO BE HERE TONIGHT.
UM. I'M PARTICULARLY HONORED TO RECOGNIZE THIS GENTLEMAN THAT I'M ABOUT TO PRESENT TO YOU TONIGHT.
HIS BIO IS SO IMPRESSIVE, IT WILL TAKE A LONG TIME TO READ AND TO GO OVER.
SO. BUT THREE THINGS STOOD OUT FOR ME.
HE SERVED THIS NATION IN OUR MILITARY AS AN OFFICER.
HE ALSO AND I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT SO MUCH A PART OF IT, BUT HE CARES SO MUCH FOR OUR COMMUNITY, THE LEAST OF THESE THOSE THAT OFTEN TIMES THAT MARGINALIZED AND THAT SOCIETY KIND OF CAST AWAY.
ITS ALL HOMELESS, A HOMELESS COMMUNITY.
AND A FEW YEARS BACK I'VE HEARD OF THE NAME.
I TOOK THE TIME AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU.
HE'LL PROBABLY MENTION THE SPECIFIC TITLE.
AMONGST THEM FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS, IF NOT AT LEAST A YEAR OUT OF HIS.
JUST IMAGINE. LEAVE YOUR HOUSE, LEAVE YOUR COMFORT.
HOMELESSNESS TO ME THAT THAT THAT JUST HUMBLE.
AND NOT ONLY DID THAT AFTER THE MILITARY, ONCE HE RETIRED FROM THE MILITARY, IT THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO START TEACHING THE NEXT GENERATION, PUT THEMSELVES BACK TO SCHOOL, BECOME AN EDUCATOR.
THE IMPORTANCE OF CIVICS TO BE INVOLVED, TEACHING THEM ABOUT CIVICS.
PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR THIS GREAT AMERICAN.
YOU CERTAINLY DESERVE EVERY BIT OF IT.
NOW, DEPUTY MAYOR, THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE FLAG? WHAT WAS THAT FLAG FLOWN? SO THIS IS A PROGRAM THAT STARTED LAST YEAR.
AND IDEALLY, WHAT WE WANTED TO RECOGNIZE PEOPLE THAT SERVE OUR COMMUNITY, RATHER SERVE AS A, YOU KNOW, IN OUR MILITARY OR FIRST RESPONDERS. SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE RECOGNIZE THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT GAVE SO MUCH BACK TO OUR NATION AND TO OUR COMMUNITY.
AND THIS PARTICULAR FLAG FLOWN OVER CITY HALL FOR A FEW DAYS.
AND NOW MR. REDMOND IS THE RECIPIENT OF THIS FLAG.
SO THE ONLY THING I CAN REALLY SAY IS I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT MY WIFE.
I KNOW THAT'S A VERY TRITE LINE.
I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY IT, BUT IT'S THE TRUTH.
WITHOUT HER SUPPORT, THERE'S ZERO CHANCE I WOULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING IN MY WHOLE LIFE.
SHE MOTIVATES ME, SHE PUSHES ME.
SHE KICKS ME IN MY BEHIND WHEN I NEED IT.
AND SO I WANT TO THANK HER FIRST AND SECOND.
I JUST HAVE TO SAY THAT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE TAKE CARE OF OUR YOUTH.
AND I COULD USE ALL THE HELP I COULD GET AS AN EDUCATOR.
SO IF YOU COULD DO THAT WITH YOUR CHILDREN, THAT WILL HELP MAKE OUR COMMUNITY MUCH BETTER.
I LOVE PALM BAY DEPUTY MAYOR, THANKS SO MUCH.
[00:10:13]
THREE. ONE, TWO, THREE.THANK YOU. CAN I GET ONE WITH MY WIFE, PLEASE? OF COURSE. OKAY.
I'LL GET THEM THERE IN A SECOND. ONE, TWO, THREE.
PERFECT. I'LL PUT HER IN THE OTHER.
THANK YOU. SO AT THIS TIME, WE HAVE A REALLY SPECIAL PRESENTATION AS WELL.
WE'RE CELEBRATING NATIONAL POLICE WEEK.
SO WE'RE WE'RE GOING TO KICK THIS OFF WITH THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AND ADDRESSING OUR COLORS.
SO IF OUR FIRST RESPONDERS WOULD PRESENT THE COLORS, PLEASE RISE.
OH, SAY, CAN YOU SEE? BY THE DAWN'S EARLY LIGHT WHAT SO PROUDLY WE HAILED AT THE TWILIGHT'S LAST GLEAMING? WHOSE BROAD STRIPES AND BRIGHT STARS THROUGH THE PERILOUS FIGHT.
O'ER THE RAMPARTS WE WATCHED WERE SO GALLANTLY STREAMING. AND THE ROCKETS RED GLARE.
AIR GAVE PROOF THROUGH THE NIGHT THAT OUR FLAG WAS STILL THERE. OH, SAY, DOES THAT STAR SPANGLED BANNER YET WAVE O'ER THE LAND? AND. OF THE THREE.
WHAT AN OUTSTANDING RENDITION OF OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM.
EVERY TIME SHE SINGS IT, IT GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS.
I THANK GOD FOR MRS MARTINS, BECAUSE TRUST ME, YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO HEAR ME SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEMS. SO TODAY WE CELEBRATE NATIONAL POLICE WEEK, AND THIS IS A FORM OF OF SHARING THE LOVE AND APPRECIATION WE HAVE FOR OUR FIRST RESPONDERS.
YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY INTERESTING, TOO, TO NOTE THAT IT TAKES A SPECIAL HEART.
I TRULY BELIEVE IT'S A CALLING.
IT IS A CALLING TO SERVE PEOPLE 24 OVER SEVEN.
THESE INDIVIDUALS CANNOT TURN IT OFF.
[00:15:02]
BECAUSE THEY'RE CALLED TO SERVE AND PROTECT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US.SO I LIKE TO CALL UP THE CHIEF.
AND I LIKE FOR HIM TO BRING UP THE ENTIRE TEAM.
SO EVERYONE THAT'S FIRST RESPONDER, THAT'S A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL ON YOUR FEET AND COME JOIN US.
PRETEND LIKE YOU LOVE EACH OTHER.
GET REAL CLOSE. UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL.
IT IS TRULY AN HONOR AND BLESSING FOR ME TO READ THIS PROCLAMATION.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LET ME TELL YOU, THE CITY OF PALM BAY LOVES YOU.

MANY OF US DON'T RECOGNIZE THE FACT WHEN THESE OFFICERS GO ON CALL AFTER CALL.
OF UNCERTAINTY, OF APPREHENSION OF WHAT THEY'RE ABOUT TO FACE.
THEY DEAL WITH THE PEOPLE THAT WE WOULD PREFER NOT TO DEAL WITH.
THEY DEAL WITH INDIVIDUALS THAT WOULD WANT TO DO THEM HARM.

[PUBLIC COMMENTS/RESPONSES]
MAYOR, THANK YOU.WE'LL CALL MR. TAMBLYN, FOLLOWED BY BILL GEORGE.
GOOD EVENING COUNCIL AND STAFF.
TIM BLAND 1992 WINBROOK DRIVE PALM BAY.
I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS TO SAY.
[00:40:09]
I'D LIKE TO THANK THE CHIEF AND ALL OF OUR FINE PALM BAY OFFICERS FOR EVERYTHING THEY DO EVERY DAY.THEY LEAVE THEIR HOUSE KNOWING EVERY SINGLE DAY NOT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
SECOND POINT IS I BRING IT UP AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.
YOU ALL KNOW THE MAJOR'S GOLF COURSE.
SO THE MAJOR'S CLOSED ON FATHER'S DAY LAST YEAR, WHICH WAS, WHAT, JUNE 13TH? 14TH. SO IT'S ALMOST BEEN A YEAR.
JANUARY 10TH OF THIS YEAR WAS THE ONLY TIME IT HAS BEEN MOWED.
BUT THE PROPERTY OWNER IS SAYING, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
WE'RE LOOKING AT 4 TO 5 FOOT HIGH WEEDS, HUNDREDS OF TAX PAYERS IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
IT SHOULD DELAY, DELAY, DELAY.
THIS PROPERTY OWNER IS PLAYING YOU IS PLAYING THIS CITY.
AND SHE'S LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK.
SITTING IN MY LANAI LOOKING AT THESE FIVE FOOT TALL WEEDS.
CODE COMPLIANCE HAS BEEN REALLY, REALLY GOOD.
BUT WE NEED CODE ENFORCEMENT ENFORCEMENT.
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT'S PROBABLY THE MAGISTRATE THAT'S GOING TO BE MEETING ON JUNE 14TH.
WE WE GOT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON AROUND HERE WITH CODE COMPLIANCE.
I KNOW THEY'RE VERY, VERY BUSY AND THEY'RE VERY, VERY GOOD AT THEIR JOB.
BUT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH FOR THESE LAND OWNERS AND PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS AROUND THIS COURSE.
THE CAN YOU DRAW THAT MIC CLOSER TO YOU TO MAYBE DROP BY MY HOUSE AT 194 EXMOOR COURT NORTHEAST SO I CAN SHOW YOU IN PERSON WHAT I'M PRESENTING TONIGHT.
I WAS GOING TO BRING PICTURES, BUT WITH THE RAIN I WAS AFRAID THEY WOULD THEY WOULD GET DESTROYED.
I WAS MADE AWARE THIS MORNING AFTER BUYING ACTUALLY REPLACING OUR FIFTH WHEEL CAMPER LAST YEAR.
TWO YEARS AGO, A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, WE WE TRADED THAT IN AND BOUGHT A CLASS C RV.
THAT CLASS C RV HAS BEEN IN OUR DRIVEWAY FOR A YEAR AND A HALF, NOT BOTHERING ANYBODY UNTIL THIS MORNING WHEN CODE ENFORCEMENT CAME BY AND WANTED TO GIVE ME A CITATION FOR PARKING THAT CAMPER IN MY DRIVEWAY, BUT TELLING ME I COULD MOVE IT AND PUT IT BESIDE MY GARAGE ON THE GRASS ON A 12 DEGREE SLOPING ANGLE AND ON TOP OF MY IRRIGATION SYSTEM.
NOW I'M FACED WITH HAVING TO HIRE A CONTRACTOR GOING THROUGH THE PERMITTING PROCESS TO HAVE MY DRIVEWAY EXTENDED AND A 15 FOOT WIDE PARKING SPOT PUT THERE NEXT TO MY GARAGE SO I CAN PUT MY CAMPER OFF MY DRIVEWAY ONTO ANOTHER SECTION OF MY DRIVEWAY.
I'M ASKING THIS COUNCIL TO REVISIT THAT PART OF THE ORDINANCE FOR SMALL MOTORIZED RVS TO BE ALLOWED TO BE PARKED ON OWNERS DRIVEWAYS.
WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO MAKE A SPECIAL PARKING PLACE FOR THEM NEXT TO OUR HOUSE.
[00:45:01]
BOTH SIDES OF MY CAMPER AGAINST AGAINST PEOPLE COMING IN AND MAYBE DOING SOMETHING SUCH AS CUTTING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER OFF OR SPRAY PAINTING THE SIDE OF IT.AT LEAST I WOULD HAVE CAMERA COVERAGE OF IT.
NOW I'M BEING ASKED TO PUT IT WHERE I DON'T HAVE CAMERA COVERAGE.
I WOULD ON ONE SIDE, BLACK AND WHITE.
SO I'M A LITTLE BIT ANGRY TODAY, I GUESS.
BUT I WOULD REALLY LIKE YOU TO COME BY AND SEE MY.
IT'S NOT CAUSING ANYBODY TO LOSE PROPERTY VALUE.
WE DON'T HAVE MANY MORE YEARS TO GO CAMPING, SO I'M JUST ASKING FOR THIS PROVISION TO BE REVISITED, TO GIVE SOME KIND OF CHANGE THAT WILL ALLOW OLDER PEOPLE LIKE US TO KEEP OUR STUFF CLOSE TO OUR HOME.
BEFORE WE CALL THE NEXT SPEAKER, MADAM SHERMAN, CAN WE HAVE STAFF VISIT THAT OR HAVE THEY ALREADY? WELL, IT SOUNDS LIKE CODE HAS BEEN OUT, BUT CERTAINLY WE'LL GET MR. GEORGE'S INFORMATION AND AND FOLLOW UP WITH HIM A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.
JOSEPH MILLS FOLLOWS BY ROBERT STICE.
GOOD EVENING. I'M JOSEPH MILLS 338 BRANTLEY STREET, PALM BAY.
32909. I'M HERE FOR THE SOLE REASON OF I'M CONCERNED WE DON'T HAVE A FIFTH SEAT COUNCIL MEMBER MUCH HAS BEEN DONE ALREADY.
THINGS HAVE BEEN TALKED ABOUT.
2024. THERE'S NO REASON TO WAIT.
I WANT TO THANK THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT HERE FOR PROVIDING DOCUMENTS TO ME THAT WERE IMPORTANT.
THAT IS IN THE CHARTER THAT WAS UPDATED 2022.
AND WHAT WAS THERE? 2012 IN THE CHARTER.
THE LANGUAGE IS NIGHT AND DAY MUCH.
I'M WAITING ON ONE MORE LEGAL DOCUMENT, WHICH WOULD BE THE FLORIDA ORDER FOR THE SPECIAL ELECTION.
THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE MUST BE HEARD.
WE'VE ALREADY PASSED THE 60 DAYS, BUT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE NOW MUST BE A SPECIAL ELECTION.
MY FOCUS NOW IS MY RACE, MY CAMPAIGN FOR THE US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, DISTRICT EIGHT.
I DO NOT WANT A U-TURN JUST TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE AND GO PETITION THIS WHOLE CITY TO CREATE A NEW ORDINANCE WHEN WE HAVE ONE ALREADY FOR US TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW AND THEN GO TO A COURT WHEN WE ALREADY HAVE SOMETHING TO GO BY.
TO GET A FIFTH SEAT COUNCIL ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE.
I MEAN, WE MUST ECHO THE WORDS OF THOMAS JEFFERSON.
WHY HAVE THREE PEOPLE SITTING HERE? FOR NO REASON.
THIS IS NOT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
WE MUST ALLOW THE VOICES OF THE PEOPLE BE HEARD.
AND THERE WERE THOUSANDS, TENS OF THOUSANDS THAT WANTED THE SPECIAL ELECTION.
IF THE OTHER METHOD DID NOT WORK.
IT'S SIMPLE. SUBMIT TO THE SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS AND FOLLOW THE PROCESS.
NOW, UNFORTUNATELY, WE WON'T HAVE JUNE, BUT WE IN JULY.
I DO EXPECT EVERYONE TO BE READY TO BRING THIS ISSUE FORWARD.
BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO USE A TERM FROM ANOTHER ATTENTION.
VERY IMPORTANT JUST TO COME OUT AND TALK TO 100,000 CITIZENS IN PALM BAY AND BRING THEM ALL HERE.
AND AND THEN I HAVE TO RUN FOR ONE OF THESE SEATS AND 2024 TO SEND A STRONGER MESSAGE.
THANK YOU, MR. STICE. GOOD EVENING, COUNSEL. ROBERT STICE, 1796, LYNBROOK DRIVE SOUTHEAST.
AS YOU KNOW, I LIVE ON A GOLF COURSE AS WELL.
[00:50:03]
GOING ON WITH THE GOLF COURSE NOW.UM, I DON'T SEE THE GRASS GROWING UNDER YOUR FEET, AND I.
YOU NEED TO GET SOME ACTION DONE OVER HERE.
EVERY ONE OF THESE HOLES, WHICH, YOU KNOW, I'M THE PRESIDENT OF MY HOA.
IF YOU LEFT YOUR YARD LIKE THAT WITH THOSE KIND OF WEEDS, YOU'D GET 30 DAYS WARNING UP TO 90 DAYS.
AND THAT THE 90TH DAY YOU'D GET FINED $1,000.
THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I BELIEVE THAT YOU PARTNERED WITH US ON THAT.
LET'S GET THIS DONE. IT'S ZONED FOR FIVE ACRE LOTS.
I HOPE TO GOD THERE'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER GOLF COURSE THERE.
I'M PRAYERFULLY CONFIDENT THEY WILL BE OKAY, BUT.
YOU KNOW, 17 AIR WAYS AND ALL OF OUR VALUES HOMEOWNER PROPERTIES ARE GOING DOWN.
WHY HAS IT TAKEN THAT LONG? I MEAN, SOME OF THESE WEEDS ARE CHEST HIGH.
SO LET'S LET'S GET THAT IN GEAR, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE, MISTER MAYOR OR ANYBODY ELSE.
I MEAN, WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE OF FAITH IN HERE.
I GIVE YOU KUDOS FOR STANDING YOUR GROUND ON YOUR BELIEF AS WELL AS AS WELL AS THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS, GIVING THEM KUDOS FOR EXPRESSING THEIR OPINION ON WHAT THEY FELT WAS RIGHT, TOO. THAT'S WHAT A REPUBLIC IS ABOUT, NOT DEMOCRACY.
AND IF AND WHEN YOU GET TO THE OTHER TWO SEATS THAT YOU HAVE TO FILL, LOOK AT IT AS A REPUBLIC.
AND FINALLY, MR SHERMAN, YOU PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH DEREK ACKER.
WELL PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH HIS BOSS AND WHO REFERRED ME BACK TO DEREK.
HE'S BEEN OUTSTANDING WITH REGARD TO LIFT STATIONS AND WHAT'S GOING ON THERE AND WHAT ARE WE WORKING WITH? AND I'M TRYING TO SUPPORT HIM BY GETTING MESSAGES ON OUR BOARD ABOUT NOT PUTTING RAGS AS WHAT THEY CALL ON THAT.
HEY, MADAM. MADAM ATTORNEY, I'M NOT SURE.
IS THERE ANY HE MENTIONED? MAGISTRATE, IS THERE A CASE GOING BEFORE TODAY? I'M NOT SURE IF YOU'RE READY TO TO MAKE A COMMENT ON THAT.
YES, MA'AM. REGARDING THE GOLF COURSE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE CODE ENFORCEMENT CASE.
IS THERE? I'D HAVE TO ALSO GET AN UPDATE.
I DON'T HAVE THAT HANDY. OKAY.
THEY'RE SAYING IT'S SCHEDULED FOR THE MAGISTRATE.
I'LL FIND OUT. MR. BLAND. SO IF WE CAN MAYBE PASS THAT INFORMATION ON AND FOLLOW UP, LET COUNCIL KNOW WHERE WE ARE, WHAT THE STATUS IS.
NEXT SPEAKER RANDY OLSZEWSKI FOLLOWS BY KENNETH DELGADO.
GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
RANDALL OLSZEWSKI 348, BROOK STREET, NORTHEAST.
BUT I HAVE TO START WITH MY GRATITUDE AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL TO OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE RECOGNITION THAT WE HAD FOR THEM TODAY, AS WELL AS ALL THE OTHER RECOGNITION THAT WE HAD FOR ALL OF OUR DIFFERENT COMMUNITY PARTNERS.
IT'S REALLY, REALLY, REALLY NICE TO SEE.
COUNCIL, MAYOR, CITIZENS, MY NEIGHBORS.
I'M TALKING TO YOU. I'M TALKING TO YOU.
SO MOST NOTABLY HOUSE PAYMENTS, RIGHT? YOUR MORTGAGE PAYMENT, IF YOU'RE A HOMEOWNER, YOU PAY A MORTGAGE AND YOUR MORTGAGE PAYMENT IS IS FLOATING BECAUSE THERE'S THREE PIECES TO YOUR MORTGAGE PAYMENT.
RIGHT. YOU GOT YOUR PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST.
YOU GOT YOUR INSURANCE, WHICH WE LIVE IN THIS FINE SUNSHINE STATE OF FLORIDA.
AND WE'RE HAVING A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH INSURANCE RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT. IT'S PROBABLY PEOPLE NODDING THEIR HEADS LIKE CRAZY BEHIND ME.
GOT THEIR THEIR PLACES CANCELED ON THEM.
THEY HAD TO GET THROUGH CITIZENS.
NOW THEY'RE PAYING TRIPLE WHAT THEY USED TO PAY.
THE THIRD ONE IS TAXES, PROPERTY TAXES.
SO WHEN EITHER ONE OF THOSE TWO BECAUSE THE OTHER ONE, THE FIRST ONE IS NOT VARIABLE, OKAY.
UNLESS YOU GET A VARIABLE RATE, WE'RE NOT GETTING INTO THAT.
BUT HEY, PRICES ARE GOING UP, AREN'T THEY? SO, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE DEALING WITH YOUR INSURANCE.
[00:55:03]
YOU'RE JUST HAPPY THAT YOU CAN GET SOME INSURANCE AND YOUR INSURANCE RATE JUST KEEPS GOING UP AND YOUR TAXES FLOAT UP.BE AWARE, CITIZENS AND NEIGHBORS OF PALM BAY THAT YOUR PROPERTY TAX BILL IS HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY ALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT SIT RIGHT THERE THAT I'M LOOKING AT AND TALKING TO, UP TO THE TUNE OF 40% OF THE PROPERTY TAXES THAT YOU PAY ON A PROPERTY YOU OWN IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY IS INFLUENCED BY THESE PEOPLE RIGHT HERE.
NOW, THERE IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT THESE PEOPLE WERE WISE ENOUGH TO MAKE CALLED THE CITIZENS BUDGET ADVISORY BOARD A FEW YEARS BACK TO TALK AND HAVE THE CITIZENS COME AND LET THEIR OPINIONS BE HEARD.
NOW, UNFORTUNATELY, THROUGH TIME, THE BOARD HAS HAS LOST DIRECTION.
AND AS THE CHAIR I HAVE COME FORWARD IN A PUBLIC ENVIRONMENT, I'VE COME FORWARD IN A FORMAL LETTER ENVIRONMENT ASKING FOR DIRECTION ON HOW THE CITIZENS BUDGET ADVISORY BOARD CAN BE EMPOWERED TO HELP THESE NEIGHBORS GET THEIR VOICES HEARD.
BEFORE THE THREE OF YOU AND A HALF A VOICE ON THE PHONE MAKE A VERY MAJOR DECISION WHEN YOU GET BACK FROM VACATION THAT THIS SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE ACCIDENTALLY VOTED IN TO ALLOW YOU TO HAVE.
THAT'S RIGHT, FOLKS. YOU VOTED TO LET THEM HAVE A JUNE VACATION.
YOU VOTED TO LET THEM MAKE IT SO THERE IS NO SPECIAL ELECTION.
NOW TAKE CONTROL OF THE TAXES PORTION OF YOUR PRICES GOING UP.
GET INVOLVED WITH THE BUDGET PROCESS.
WHEN THESE FOLKS GET BACK, GET TO YOUR BUDGET WORKSHOPS.
IF YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE BUDGET PROCESS, YOU FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO ME ONLINE.
I'VE SHARED MY INFORMATION IN PUBLIC ENVIRONMENT AGAIN, RANDALL OLSZEWSKI.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO HAVE INFLUENCE OVER OUR TAXES.
THE SUPERMAJORITY EXISTS RIGHT THERE.
THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT, GET INVOLVED.
MAYOR, I'M SORRY, BUT I FIND IT DISTASTEFUL TO SAY THAT THE VOTERS ACCIDENTALLY VOTED FOR CERTAIN ITEMS ON THE ON THE REGARDING THE CHARTER BECAUSE OUR VOTERS ARE WELL EDUCATED.
THIS IS THE CITY OF PALM BAY, THE GREATEST CITY ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
SO I JUST FIND THAT DISTASTEFUL.
SO I WANT US TO BE CAREFUL WITH OUR COMMENTS WHEN WE REFER TO OTHER PEOPLE.
I'M SORRY. I WAS CAPTIVATED THERE FOR A MINUTE.
ANGELO ROAD, SOUTHEAST TWO LIGHTHEARTED 11A LITTLE MORE SERIOUS.
FIRST OF ALL, AGAIN, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SO THANKFUL FOR THEM.
I DID NOTICE THAT CHIEF ABUELO WAS WAS SIZING ME UP.
I WASN'T SURE IF IT WAS THE SIZE OF MY STOMACH OR WHETHER HE WAS THINKING ME AS A POLICE OFFICER.
BUT I FIGURED WITH MY AGE, HE'S PROBABLY SIZING UP SOMETHING ALONG ON THE MID SECTION.
NUMBER TWO, I'M SO GLAD YOU HAVE A VACATION.
I'M GOING TO MISS ALL THE FIREWORKS.
UH, I DIDN'T VOTE FOR YOUR VACATION.
I'M JUST. JUST SAYING I WANT A VACATION.
I'M HERE BECAUSE OF RICHARD SPELLMAN.
I SAID, WHEN I GROW UP, I WANTED TO BE LIKE HIM.
AND SO I'M HERE BECAUSE OF RICHARD SPELLMAN.
AND SO I'VE GOT COLOSSIANS CHAPTER FOUR AND VERSE SIX.
LET YOUR SPEECH BE WITH GRACE SEASONED WITH SALT.
SO MAY YOU MAY KNOW HOW YOU OUGHT TO ANSWER EACH PERSON, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN ALL STRIVE FOR AND PROBABLY SOMETHING WE ALL FALL SHORT MANY TIMES JUST BECAUSE WE'RE HUMAN.
AND SOMETIMES WHEN ANGER RISES, OUR OUR SPEECH GOES DOWNHILL.
BUT IT DOES SAY, LET YOUR SPEECH BE FILLED WITH GRACE.
AND THEN IT SAYS SEASON WITH SALT.
SALT IS USED FOR HEALING AND FOR PURIFYING.
AND HOPEFULLY WORDS ARE MADE TO EDIFY, TO BUILD UP, TO MAKE US FEEL BETTER.
HOPEFULLY. I'M HONORING RICHARD SPELLMAN AT THIS MOMENT AND FOR ALL THAT HE DID FOR US.
AND THEN SO THAT WE MAY KNOW HOW WE OUGHT TO ANSWER EACH PERSON.
AND YOU ALL HAVE TO ANSWER TO SO MANY PEOPLE AND HOW TO ANSWER.
YOU PROBABLY HAVE THE LION'S SHARE OF EFFORT TRYING TO ANSWER WITH THAT GRACE AND WITH THAT SALT.
[01:00:08]
BACK TO TAXES.GOD BLESS YOU ALL. HAVE A GREAT REST OF YOUR DAY.
NEXT SPEAKER. MR. EVANS. ANYONE EVANS.
THOSE KIDS AT ONE 681 WICHITA BOULEVARD ISN'T GETTING ANY BETTER.
LIKE I SAID BEFORE, IF A POLICE OFFICER SITS THERE IN A CAR MARKED, THEY'RE GOING TO DO RIGHT.
THEY PUT A MONITOR ACROSS THE STREET ABOUT THE SPEEDING.
BUT MY CONCERN IS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE KIDS.
WE TALKED ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE AND ALL OF THIS.
WHAT ABOUT THE SPEEDING? THEY'RE NOT GOING TO WALK ON THAT WET GRASS IN THE MORNING.
ALL I ASK IS FOR ONE OF YOU, JUST ONE OF YOU TO COME OUT THERE AND SEE HOW WET THAT GRASS IS.
AND THEY DON'T HAVE A SIDEWALK.
WE WILL BUDGET IT FOR A SIDEWALK.
WAS NICE ENOUGH TO HAVE THE FELLA COME OUT AND DO A SURVEY OF WHAT'S HAPPENING.
AND IT WAS I SAID, IF IT'S 8:00 IN THE MORNING, YOU CAN COME OUT THERE.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO WALK ON THAT DUDE IN THE MORNING.
SO SOMEONE WAS SUPPOSED TO SUPERINTENDENT OR WHOEVER HE IS, HE NEVER CALLED.
HE NEVER SAID HE WENT OUT THERE.
SO THE OFFICER CAME AND TOLD ME TO DO THAT AND I DID IT.
AND HE SAID, WELL, BUDGET IT FOR A SIDEWALK NEXT YEAR.
BUT UNTIL THEN, WHAT ABOUT THOSE KIDS SAFETY? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, NOTHING ELSE.
SO NO ONE GOT BACK WITH ME FROM THE SCHOOL BUS DEPARTMENT.
AND THE ONE THING HE TOLD ME TO DO, DON'T GIVE UP.
I'M FRUSTRATED, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO STOP.
I'M GOING TO COME IN HERE EVERY TIME AND MAKE MY POINT.
I ALSO MY CONCERN IS ABOUT THE HOMELESS.
I BROUGHT THIS UP BEFORE. I TRY NOT TO MIX THE TWO TOGETHER.
I SEE THOSE PEOPLE LAYING ON THE GROUND ON THE SIDEWALK.
THEY GOT MENTAL PROBLEMS. IT'S NOTHING ABOUT THEIR ABILITY, THEIR INTELLIGENCE.
THEY HAVE MENTAL PROBLEMS. BUT I GO THERE, I GIVE SHOES, CLOTHES, SOCKS, WHATEVER, AND I GO INTO ROSES AND I BUY NEW STUFF.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM ME OVER AND OVER UNTIL WE FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH THE SAFETY OF OUR KIDS.
IS THIS ONE OF THOSE PROJECTS? YES, SIR, I BELIEVE IT IS.
AND SO THAT WOULD TAKE AFTER EXCUSE ME, OCTOBER 1ST.
WELL, THAT'S WHEN THE FUNDING WOULD BE IN THE BUDGET, THEORETICALLY.
I'LL GET WITH STAFF, THOUGH. I KNOW THAT BOTH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY ENGINEER HAVE WORKED WITH MR. EVANS AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT UNTIL WE GET IT RESOLVED.
WE CAN ALSO CIRCLE BACK WITH THE THE SCHOOL SCHOOL BOARD AND SEE IF THERE'S A I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR POSITION IS ON THE LOCATION OF THE BUS STOP, BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY ASK THEM IF THERE'S A POTENTIAL TO MOVE IT TO A SAFER LOCATION.
BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING THEY'D CONSIDER.
IF WE COULD OPEN UP THAT DIALOG WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD.
THAT WAY WE'RE BOTH IN COMMUNICATION AND PARTNERING.
THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER MAYOR, IF I MAY ADD SOMETHING TO TO THAT THIS CONVERSATION.
I WANT TO REASSURE YOU, WE ARE LOOKING INTO IT.
WE CERTAINLY ARE WORKING ON IT.
IN FACT, WE WERE LOOKING INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR FOR BUDGET, WE'RE LOOKING AT EVEN LOOKING AT POTENTIAL GRANT OPTIONS TO MAYBE ATTEND TO THAT FIRST.
SO THAT VERY WEEK I HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE CITY MANAGER ABOUT YOUR ISSUE.
[01:05:05]
SO I WANT YOU TO KNOW YOU'RE BEING HEARD.GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS TAQUAN GIBSON.
MY ADDRESS IS 720 CAROLINE STREET.
I'M HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE, GUN VIOLENCE AND OUR KIDS.
MY BIGGEST ISSUE IS EVERY TIME WE SPEAK ABOUT SOMETHING OR THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT A BUDGET OR THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT TAXES BEING RAISED, OUR KIDS ARE NEVER A PART OF THOSE DECISIONS.
AT LEAST I DON'T SEE IT HAPPENING.
I'M A MOTHER THAT HAS THREE YOUNG CHILDREN.
MY COUSIN SITS RIGHT BEHIND ME.
AND YOU ALL ARE FAMILIAR WITH US.
WE'RE HERE AND WE'RE GOING TO BE HERE.
MY GRANDMOTHER AND I HAVE PUT TOGETHER A COMMUNITY OUTREACH IN HONOR OF JEREMIAH ON SATURDAY, JUNE 10TH AT 10 A.M. AND IT WILL END AT 3 P.M.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO BRING THEIR CHILDREN OUT SO THAT WAY WE CAN RAISE AWARENESS TO EVERYTHING THAT THESE KIDS ARE FACING AS FAR AS GRIEF, PEER PRESSURE, BULLYING AND OTHER THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
MY BIGGEST THING IS MY GRANDMOTHER DIDN'T SHE'S NOT RICH.
I MEAN, SHE LIVES ON A FIXED INCOME, BUT JUST WORD OF MOUTH, WHO SHE IS AND THE REASONING FOR HER PUTTING THIS COMMUNITY OUTREACH TOGETHER, SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL IT, PULL IT THROUGH WITH DONATIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO MY THING IS, IF ONE WOMAN OVER THE AGE OF 80 CAN PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER ON A FIXED INCOME AND BRING OUT A SLEW OF CHILDREN FOR FROM THIS WHOLE COUNTY, NOT JUST PALM BAY AND MELBOURNE, YOU KNOW, HOW COME IT TAKES SO MUCH FOR A CITY OR A COUNTY TO PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER TO TAKE CARE OF THESE KIDS? I DEFINITELY I APPRECIATE THE OFFICERS.
I HAVE MUCH RESPECT FOR POLICE OFFICERS.
THAT'S JUST A JOB THAT I COULDN'T DO.
I DON'T HAVE THE HEART TO DO IT.
BUT LATELY, ME AND MY FAMILY, WE'VE BEEN KIND OF ON ON FOOT.
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO RAISE AWARENESS AT THIS POINT, GOING OUT TO FOOTBALL FIELDS AND SPEAKING TO PARENTS THAT HAVE THEIR KIDS OUT THERE LITERALLY SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF A BATTLEFIELD.
SO JUST JUST HERE TO KIND OF SHARE THE FACT THAT OUR FAMILY IS MOVING FORWARD.
I MEAN, WE GOT PEOPLE ON BOARD WITH US.
WE'RE MOVING FORWARD AS FAR AS TAKING CARE OF OUR CHILDREN.
WE'RE GRABBING OUR YOUTH BACK FROM THE STREETS.
AND, YOU KNOW, IF THE CITY IS WITH US OR NOT, LIKE OUR TRAIN IS JUST GOING TO KEEP ROLLING.
SO I JUST WANT Y'ALL TO KNOW THAT Y'ALL ARE INVITED TO OUR COMMUNITY OUTREACH.
AND I LOVE TO SEE YOU ALL FACES.
THANK YOU, MA'AM. AND JUST SO THAT, YOU KNOW, I DID RECEIVE AN INVITATION EARLY TODAY.
YES, SIR. RIGHT BEFORE THE MEETING STARTED.
AND AND I SHARED IT WITH MY COUNCIL MEMBERS.
KNOW THAT OUR PRAYERS ARE CONTINUE TO BE WITH YOU.
AND AND EVEN MOREOVER, I ATTEMPTED TO REACH OUT BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE BROTHER.
AND I WANTED TO PLUG HIM IN WITH A REALLY GOOD YOUTH CHURCH.
WITH YOUR PERMISSION, WITH THE FAMILY'S PERMISSION AND THEIR GUIDANCE AND THEIR SUPERVISION, BECAUSE I REALLY THINK THAT IT GOES BEYOND JUST, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE CAN DO. IT'S ABOUT BUILDING AND LIFTING THAT RELATIONSHIP UP WITH HIS PEERS AS WELL.
YES, SIR. MAKE SURE YOU INVITE YOUR YOUTH GROUP.
SO FROM THE CHURCH? YES, SIR. OKAY.
IF YOU HAVE ANY CHURCHES THAT HAVE YOUTH, HAVE ONE OF THOSE FLIERS.
[01:10:01]
OH, I HAVE. SO PLEASE PASS IT TO THAT YOUNG MAN RIGHT THERE AND HE'LL PASS THE WORD.HE'LL PUT IT IN THE RIGHT HANDS.
THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER, MISS.
MISS. EILEEN CEP, 1233 OLD ROAD NORTHEAST.
MR. WATANABE, THANK YOU FOR FINALLY, AFTER SEVEN YEARS OF CALLING AND SHOWING UP AND ASKING FOR HELP WITH A SECTION IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE AROUND THE STORMWATER DRAIN 18FT BY ABOUT THREE FEET WIDE.
THAT HAS BEEN SINKING FOR THAT LONG AFTER FOUR DIFFERENT CREWS CAME IN FOR A TOTAL OF ABOUT EIGHT HOURS OVER FOUR DAYS, IT'S FINALLY FIXED.
THANK YOU. I SINCERELY HOPE, THOUGH I SINCERELY HOPE THAT THE NEXT TIME SOMEONE CALLS ABOUT SOMETHING, IT WON'T TAKE SEVEN YEARS TO GET IT FIXED.
OH, SEAN. FOLLOWED BY MISS SANTA ISABEL.
EXCUSE ME. PUT YOUR RAN TO 19 TRENTON AVENUE.
UM, I JUST WENT PAST A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING AT MALABAR AND HARLEY.
IT HAS A PUSH BUTTON ACTIVATION THAT FLASHES A YELLOW LIGHT.
IT ALLOWS TRAFFIC TO BE AWARE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO CROSS THE STREET, AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO STOP.
THERE'S NUMEROUS FOLKS THAT WALK THAT SIDEWALK TO GO TO THE LIBRARY AND TO THE PLAZA.
THEY GET TO THAT INTERSECTION.
SECOND THING IS, IS THERE ANY WAY YOU CAN GET A SIDEWALK BETWEEN MADELINE LANDINGS AND THE WINN-DIXIE PLAZA? IT NEEDS ABOUT 200FT TO COMPLETE IT.
THERE'S SECTIONS ALL THE WAY ALONG MALABAR, BUT THEY'RE NOT CONNECTED.
ONE MORE. HOW LONG? IS THE COUNCIL GOING TO ALLOW PHONE IN PARTICIPATION FROM THE DIOCESE? IF IT'S GOING TO BE A GIVEN.
CAN I CALL IN TO COUNCIL WITH MY QUESTIONS FROM HOME? AND I HAVE SOME MORE, BUT I'LL GET THEM LATER.
I GUESS OUR ENGINEER WOULD HAVE TO LOOK INTO THAT LIGHTING CROSSWALK THAT HE REFERRED TO.
RIGHT. RIGHT HERE AT THE LIBRARY.
AND THEN. AND THEN FOLLOWED WITH THOSE 200FT OF SIDEWALK.
THANK YOU, MA'AM. THIS IS RIGHT.
AND I'M HERE TODAY TO ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
I AM THE PRESIDENT OF UNITED COALITION COUNCIL AND THE FLORIDA HISPANIC CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
WE ARE JOINING CONGRESSIONAL HISPANIC CAUCUS SENATOR CONGRESSMAN DARREN SOTO IN CONDEMNING THE IMMIGRATION LAWS IN FLORIDA THAT WOULD IMPLEMENT A SERIES OF HARDLINE MEASURES AGAINST UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS.
THE RECENT POLICIES IMPLEMENTED BY A REPUBLICAN LED FLORIDA LEGISLATURE DEMONSTRATE GOVERNOR DESANTIS PREFERENCE FOR FEAR MONGERING, PROMOTING RACIAL PROFILING AND DEMANDING AND DAMAGING FLORIDA'S ECONOMY RATHER THAN SUPPORTING OUR STATE'S HISPANIC POPULATION AT THE TIME OF NEED. THIS LAW DAMAGES ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING FAITH BASED GROUPS, INCENSED BY A PROVISION THAT WOULD BAN TRANSPORTING UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS, POTENTIALLY CRIMINALIZING SOME PASTORAL SERVICES.
WE ARE REQUESTING FAITH LEADERS AS YOURSELF, MAYOR, CIVIL RIGHTS GROUPS, CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO COME OUT AGAINST THIS DRACONIAN MEASURES BECAUSE IT WILL SLOW DOWN OUR ECONOMY, OUR GROWTH, REDUCE OUR WORKFORCE,
[01:15:03]
HURT OUR SMALL BUSINESSES, DRIVE UP INFLATION, AND DEEPLY DAMAGE OUR INTERNATIONAL TOURISM.THE RECENT POLICIES POLICIES IMPLEMENTED BY THE REPUBLICAN LED FLORIDA LEGISLATURE DEMONSTRATES GOVERNOR DESANTIS PREFERENCE AGAIN FOR FEAR MONGERING PROMOTING RACIAL PROFILING.
I AM HERE TODAY TO ASK THE CITY OF PALM BAY TO JOIN US AND SAY WE STAND AGAINST GOVERNOR DESANTIS AND HIS DECISION TO HARASS AND PROFILE OUR HISPANIC COMMUNITY.
ARE YOU ALL AND THE FARMERS? IF WITHOUT FARMING WE HAVE NO FOOD AND IF NOBODY CARES ABOUT EATING, THEN IT'S OKAY TO CONTINUE.
BUT THE FARMERS ARE GOING TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS AS WELL.
SO I'M HERE TODAY TO ASK YOU TO PLEASE JOIN US AND SAY NO TO THE GOVERNOR, NO TO ANDY FINE AND NO TO EVERYBODY ELSE AS VOTING AGAINST HISPANICS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HEARING ME.
AND I HOPE THAT YOU, MAYOR, A MAN OF GOD, WOULD JOIN US AND SAY NO TO GOVERNOR DESANTIS ON THIS LAW THAT IS SO WRONG FOR OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. ANY OTHER ONES? THIS CONCLUDES OUR PUBLIC COMMENT.
UM, I TRULY COMMEND YOU THE EFFORT YOU PUT IN, AND I CERTAINLY CAN TELL YOU YOU CANNOT SPEAK FOR THE REST OF US, BUT YOU HAVE A ONE COUNCILMAN THAT WOULD THAT FULLY IN SUPPORT OF YOUR INITIATIVE AND HOWEVER I CAN SUPPORT, I WILL.
THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC PUBLIC COMMENTS.
WE ARE NOW ON NEW BUSINESS NUMBER ONE.
[NEW BUSINESS (Part 1 of 2)]
MADAM SHERMAN.THIS IS THE FIRST OF THE TWO CO-SPONSORSHIP ITEMS. THIS ONE IS FOR THE GROUP CALLED BOKOSUKA.
SO I'LL LET FRED GIVE US AN OVERVIEW.
SO THIS THIS IS THE EVENT YOU WERE ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT EARLIER IN YOUR PROCLAMATION.
AND THE BOKOSUKA FOLKS ARE STILL HERE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, THIS IS AN EVENT THAT WE DID LAST YEAR AS WELL, VERY WELL ATTENDED.
I BELIEVE MOST OF THE COUNCIL WAS THERE AS WELL.
THERE'S BEEN A FEW CHANGES, BUT BUT STILL GOING TO BE A GREAT EVENT.
SO WE'RE HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCIL FOR BOKOSUKA.
THANK YOU. MR.. IF WE COULD HAVE MARSHA CAMPBELL STEP UP.
PREVIOUSLY, WE WERE HAVING DISCUSSION OF MONITORING HOW MANY PEOPLE WE WERE BRINGING TO THESE EVENTS, HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE BRINGING FROM OUTSIDE OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY, BRINGING THEM TO SUPPORT THIS EVENT.
DO YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE AN ESTIMATE OR A NUMBER FROM LAST YEAR? LAST YEAR IT WAS ABOUT 3000 INDIVIDUALS.
OKAY. THANK YOU. AND ARE YOU PROJECTING BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS MASSIVE LAST YEAR, TOO.
DO YOU THINK IT'S GOING TO BE BIGGER THIS YEAR OR IT SHOULD BE BIGGER? WE'RE HOPING, IF NOT BIGGER, THE SAME, BUT WE ARE EXPECTING IT TO BE A WONDERFUL EVENT AND WELL ATTENDED.
AND THEN TO THE MAYOR'S POINT, WILL THERE BE ENOUGH JERK CHICKEN? IT'S GOING TO BE MORE THAN ENOUGH.
ALL RIGHT. ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE THOSE STILT PERFORMERS?
[01:20:02]
YES, WE ARE.THAT THAT IS SUCH A WONDERFUL ATTRACTION, THEN.
DEPUTY MAYOR. THANK YOU, MAYOR.
DID DID THAT IS THE METHOD THAT WAS USED.
SAY THAT AGAIN. THAT WAS THE METHOD THAT WAS USED.
OKAY. OKAY. SO THAT'S HOW WE DO WE KNOW I GOT THAT FIGURE FROM THE FROM THE CITY IN TERMS OF WHO FROM OUT OF TOWN WERE WERE WE ABLE TO IDENTIFY SO SEPARATE? I DON'T THINK WE HAD THAT DOWN PAT AS YET.
OKAY. YEAH, I WOULD PROBABLY FOSTER THAT RELATIONSHIP SO WE CAN PAY AND THAT'S IMPORTANT.
AND WHAT THAT TELLS US IS THAT THE INVESTMENT WE MAKE AND IT'S REALLY FRUITFUL BECAUSE FOLKS FROM OUR TOWN, THEY TEND TO STAY AND SPEND MONEY IN THE COMMUNITY THAT'S HAVE AN ECONOMIC IMPACT.
SO IF WE CAN CONTINUE THAT TRACKING, WE WILL.
YES. THANK YOU. AND WE HAVE VENDORS THAT ARE COMING FROM OUT OF TOWN AS WELL.
SO THEY BRING PEOPLE WITH THEM.
SO WE'RE LOOKING, AS I SAID, FOR IT TO BE BIGGER THAN LAST YEAR, BUT WE WANT TO CONTINUE DOING IT.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DEPUTY DEPUTY MAYOR, TO YOUR POINT, THE TDC HAS THAT TECHNOLOGY.
SO EVEN IF, AS AN EXAMPLE, THE THRESHOLD IS 800 AND THEY BRING IN 300 FROM OUT OF TOWN, THEY'RE STILL BRINGING IN 300 FAMILIES FROM OUT OF TOWN. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT POINT.
AND THEY THEY HAVE THAT ABILITY.
ASK ME HOW I KNOW BECAUSE THE FAMILY CHRISTMAS EXTRAVAGANZA THAT THRESHOLD I THINK FOR OUT OF OUT OF COUNTY WAS CLOSE TO 1000 THIS YEAR. SO THANK YOU MA'AM.
OKAY. THANK YOU. HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? DO WE HAVE SPEAKER CARDS? YES. MAYOR. MR. BILL BATTEN. BILL BATTEN, 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET SOUTHWEST. I FIND IT STRANGE THAT WE BROUGHT NEW BUSINESS, NUMBER ONE AND NUMBER TWO UP BEFORE WE ADDRESS SOMETHING THAT WAS COVERED UNDER CONSENT.
BUT YOU'RE ADDRESSING IT WITH THE INDIVIDUALS IN IT.
IN THE TDC, YOUR SEQUENCE OF EVENTS IS OUT OF ORDER.
YOU SHOULD FOLLOW YOUR PRECEDENCE.
KEEP IT THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE.
WE ALMOST CALL IT POINT OF ORDER ON THIS, RIGHT? CONSENT AGENDA. ITEM NUMBER NINE USE USE THESE FUNDS TO OFFSET THE RESIDENT WHAT THE RESIDENTS HAVE TO PAY TO THE CITY.
COSPONSORSHIP OF SPECIAL FUNCTIONS.
THAT'S WHAT YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT.
NUMBER ONE, THIS COULD BE FUNDED OUT OF CONSENT AGENDA ITEM NUMBER NINE, WHICH WOULD KEEP THE FUNDS OF WAGES $5,722 IN THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET BECAUSE GENERAL FUND BUDGET FOR PARKS AND RECREATION CURRENTLY MAKES UP 7% OF OUR OF OUR CITY'S BUDGET.
RIGHT. I'M GETTING A LITTLE TIRED OF THE CITY GIVING AWAY MY TAX DOLLARS TO NONPROFIT IDENTITIES.
YET WE ARE THE HIGHEST TAXED CITY IN BREVARD COUNTY.
WHEN YOU ADD IN ALL OF OUR ADD ONS.
THAT BEING SAID, KEEP YOUR SEQUENCE OF EVENTS PROPER, BECAUSE WHAT I HAD TO SAY SOUNDS OUT OF ORDER AND NOBODY EVEN KNOWS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ADJUST BECAUSE YOU HAD IT UNDER CONSENT. AGENDA ITEM.
THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER NO MORE, SIR.
SO MOVED. SECOND GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
DID YOU WANT TO KNOW MAJORITY OF THE WAIVER? THE THE DOLLARS ARE WAIVERS THAT ARE NOT BEING PAID.
IT'S NOT THAT THE TAX DOLLARS ARE BEING USED.
IT'S WAIVERS OR FEES THAT ARE NOT BEING PAID.
AM I CORRECT, MR. POPPY? MADAM. MADAM SHERMAN WILL RESPOND TO THE TOTAL VALUE OF THIS CO-SPONSORSHIP IS $6,207.50.
OF THAT, $2,910 ARE IN-KIND WAGES.
TO YOUR POINT, FOR THE PARKS MAINTENANCE TEAM AND THEN $2,812.50 FOR THE POLICE MAINTENANCE TEAM.
SO THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF IN-KIND WAGES, IN OTHER WORDS, STAFF TIME VALUE IS $5,722.50.
[01:25:09]
SO $485 TOTAL IN FEES THAT WERE WAIVED.THANK YOU. UM, DEPUTY MAYOR, ANY COMMENTS? NOTHING TO ADD. IS COUNCILMAN FOSTER STILL ON THE LINE? I LIKE TO CHECK IF HE HAS ANY COMMENTS.
THIS LAST WEEK, THIS NATION MOURNED THE LOSS OF A GUN VIOLENT UP IN THE AIR.
A CRAZY MAN WENT TO A SUPERMARKET AND SHOT EIGHT PEOPLE AND THE POLICE WOUND UP RESPONDING.
THIS IS THE WORLD WE LIVE IN TODAY.
AND WE NEED POLICE PROTECTION WHERE THEY CAN PAY FOR IT OR NOT.
AND I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE I WANT OUR FINEST.
LIKE YOU SAID EARLIER TODAY, YOU GAVE THE POLICE THE KUDOS.
I WANT OUR FINEST TO BE AT EVERY CULTURAL EVENT, WHETHER THE SPONSORSHIP CAN PAY FOR IT OR NOT.
AND I'D BE PRAYING. ALL RIGHT.
SO I GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
ALL IN FAVOR. SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
WE ARE NOW ON NEW BUSINESS NUMBER TWO, MADAM SHERMAN.
IT LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THE REPRESENTATIVES IS HERE, SO I'LL TURN IT OVER TO HER.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
I'M HERE TO ASK THE MAYOR AND AND COUNCIL FOR A SPECIAL EXCEPTION TO THE CO-SPONSORSHIP POLICY AMENDING THE MEMORANDUM OF MEDIATED SETTLEMENT.
IN THE PAST WE'VE HAD OUR PARADE OCTOBER AND MAYBE EVEN IN NOVEMBER, BUT WE ARE WANTING TO KEEP IT WITHIN HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH, WHICH IS SEPTEMBER.
AND I KNOW YOUR FISCAL YEAR STARTS OCTOBER 1ST AND WE'RE ASKING FOR AN EXCEPTION FOR IT TO BE HELD SEPTEMBER 30TH, WHICH IS ON A SATURDAY.
AND THERE'S A FEW REASONS FOR THAT.
ONE IS THAT A LOT OF OUR PARTICIPANTS ARE ALSO PARTICIPATING IN OTHER PUERTO RICAN DAY PARADES ACROSS FLORIDA, NEW YORK, CONNECTICUT, NEW YORK, PUERTO RICO.
WE HAVE TO CONSIDER THAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO IT ON A SUNDAY BECAUSE WE RESERVE THAT AS A CHURCH DAY MOVING FORWARD.
I JUST WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU GRANT US THIS EXCEPTION THIS YEAR MOVING FORWARD AND WE CALCULATE IT OUT SEVEN YEARS AHEAD, IT WOULD ALWAYS BE IN SEPTEMBER.
SO THIS WOULD ONLY HAPPEN ONE TIME.
AND MOVING FORWARD, IT WOULD ALWAYS STAY WITHIN SEPTEMBER.
OUR WEEKEND EVENTS ARE EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL TO OUR COMMUNITY, BOTH PALM BAY AND BREVARD COUNTY, BECAUSE, FIRST OF ALL, ON FRIDAY, THE DAY BEFORE THE PARADE, SEVERAL OF OUR ATTENDEES, OUR ARTISTS, OUR PERFORMERS, OUR DIGNITARIES ARE COMING FROM OUT OF TOWN.
SO THEY WILL BE SPENDING MONEY HERE ON HOTELS, ON FOOD, ON YOU KNOW, IT BRINGS TOURISM HERE FROM FROM THIS EVENT BECAUSE IT'S A IT'S A VERY BIG EVENT.
AND AGAIN, WE BOOST THE LOCAL ECONOMY ALONG WITH TEACHING AND FOSTERING CULTURAL PRIDE AND STRENGTHENING OUR COMMUNITY TIES ONSITE. AND OFFSITE SPENDING HAPPENS THE ENTIRE WEEKEND ON OUT OF TOWN.
ARTISTS AND DIGNITARIES VISIT AND THEY STAY.
[01:30:01]
THEY SHOP, THEY GO TO GAS STATIONS, RESTAURANTS, SO FORTH.SO WE FEATURE LOCAL BUSINESSES AND ARTISTS.
WE DO NOT CHARGE THE PUBLIC A FEE TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR PARADE AS WELL AS THERE IS NO COST TO THE PUBLIC TO ATTEND OUR MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL, WHICH HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER THE PARADE.
SO WE'RE ASKING FOR THAT EXCEPTION THIS YEAR.
ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCIL? NO, MISS EVELYN.
MISS EVELYN KNOW, WE SPOKE THROUGHOUT THIS WEEK BECAUSE I DID HAVE QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS, ESPECIALLY REGARDING SINCE THERE WAS ALREADY A SETTLEMENT WITH US IN THE CITY. SO.
BUT YOU DID ANSWER MY QUESTIONS.
I APPRECIATE THAT, ESPECIALLY REGARDING FOR YEARS TO COME FROM NOW.
AND THAT'S WHERE YOU LOOKED? YES. AND I HAVE THOSE DATES THIS YEAR WOULD BE SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2024 WOULD BE SEPTEMBER 28TH, SEPTEMBER 27TH, 2025, SEPTEMBER 26TH, 2026.
SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2028, AND SEPTEMBER 29TH, 2029.
AND THANK AND THANK YOU FOR GETTING THOSE.
OF COURSE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROPER PROCEDURE WOULD BE, BUT SINCE IT ALREADY IS A SETTLEMENT IN PLACE, I WOULD LOVE TO GO AHEAD AND GET THAT LOCKED DOWN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WITH STAFF. MAYOR, I DON'T WANT TO GO TOO FAR AHEAD, BUT JUST I THINK THE ONLY ISSUE THAT THAT LIES IS IT'S WE'RE WE'RE TWICE IN ONE FISCAL YEAR THIS YEAR.
BUT THEN MOVING FORWARD, WE WON'T RUN INTO THAT.
WE'RE MOVING FORWARD. WE'RE GOOD TO GO.
IS THAT CORRECT, MA'AM? YES, SIR. THIS APPEARS TO BE A ONE TIME SCENARIO, AS WE UNDERSTAND IT.
OKAY. SO BUT I WAS TRACKING WHAT YOU WERE TRYING TO DO, SIR.
UH COUNCILMAN. OR DEPUTY MAYOR? FELIX YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MISS THOMPSON? NO, SIR. NO, MAYOR.
FOSTER. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MISS? MISS THOMPSON? NO, SIR. THANK YOU.
DO WE HAVE SPEAKER CARDS? WE DO. MR. BILL BATTEN. BILL BATTEN, 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET SOUTHWEST.
THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FUNDED OUT OF CONSENT AGENDA ITEM NUMBER NINE, WHICH WOULD KEEP THE FUNDS AND FUNDS OF THE WAGES IN THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET BECAUSE THAT IS ONE FUND THAT CANNOT BE PAID FOR OUT OF THE PARKS IMPACT FEES.
RIGHT. CURRENTLY, PARKS AND FACILITIES MAKE UP 7% OF OUR GENERAL FUND BUDGET.
ALL RIGHT. I'M GETTING A LITTLE TIRED OF MY CITY GIVING AWAY MY TAX DOLLAR TO NONPROFIT IDENTITIES.
YET WE ARE THE HIGHEST TAXED IN ALL OF BREVARD COUNTY.
WHEN YOU ADD UP ALL OF OUR ADD ONS.
SIDE NOTE FOR NEW BUSINESS NUMBER TWO.
THIS ORGANIZATION HAD TO SUE THE CITY IN ORDER TO HAVE THIS PARADE HAPPEN.
SO MY SUGGESTION IS, SINCE WE'RE UNDER COURT ORDER, STICK TO THE COURT ORDER AND DON'T GIVE A NICKEL MORE THAN WHAT YOU HAVE TO BECAUSE THEY HAD TO SUE THE CITY IN ORDER FOR US TO BE HERE.
DID YOU WANT TO ADDRESS ANYTHING REGARDING THAT? THE THE ONLY THE ONLY THING I WOULD ADD, ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT RELEVANT TO THIS ITEM, IT'S RELEVANT TO THE ITEM THAT'S COMING UP ON CONSENT.
SO I DON'T WANT TO GET A POINT OF ORDER, UM, CALL, BUT IS THAT THAT GRANT IS TO APPLY FOR FUNDING TO SUPPORT THE CITY SPONSORED EVENTS, NOT THESE CO SPONSORED EVENTS. SO IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT GROUP OF.
SO MOVED. SECOND FOR DISCUSSION.
GOT A MOTION JOHNSON SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
YOU MADE THE MOTION, MISS EVELYN ANSWERED MY QUESTION.
YES. THIS POLICY'S BEEN CHANGED AND ALTERED AND SHIFTED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE IT'S BEEN IN PLACE, BUT SHE MADE ME FEEL COMFORTABLE GOING FORWARD, SO I'LL SUPPORT THIS.
JUST JUST GOING TO PIGGYBACK ON ON COUNCILMAN JOHNSON'S POINT.
WHAT I WOULD ASK IS MISS SMITH WOULD WEIGH IN IN TERMS OF WHAT IS OUR LEGAL PARAMETERS WHEN IT COMES TO IF WE CONSIDER SHOULD WE CONSIDER MAKING A CHANGE TO THIS OR DO WE MAKE AN EXCEPTION, I SHOULD SAY, DO WE CHANGE THE ORDINANCE OR THE PROGRAM AS IT
[01:35:04]
IS? OR DO WE ARE WE ABLE TO MAKE JUST AN EXCEPTION AND KEEP IT AS AS AS IS? AS FAR AS THE DATES? WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS AN AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT.AND WE CAN ALWAYS IT'S LIKE ANY OTHER CONTRACT, SO LONG AS THERE IS AN AGREEMENT AND IT'S NOT OTHERWISE PROHIBITED BY LAW, WE'RE FULLY ABLE TO DO THAT. SO WE CAN.
SO WOULD THAT BE WOULD THAT SET A PRECEDENT IN TERMS OF CHANGING THE THE RULE AS IT IS IN THE BOOK NOW? CERTAINLY ANYBODY AS FAR AS ARE GOING TO COME FORTH AND SAY YOU DID THIS IN THAT CASE.
BUT AS FAR AS WHETHER IT IS SOMETHING WHERE YOU LEGALLY CAN'T CHANGE YOUR MIND, YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK AT EACH CASE BASED UPON THE FACTS AND YOU STILL HAVE YOUR ABILITY, YOUR DISCRETION TO DO THAT.
APPEAR THAT YOU ARE FAVORING ONE GROUP OR THE OTHER, BUT YOU CERTAINLY WILL HAVE DISCRETION.
FOSTER. DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? HEY, MAYOR. THANK YOU.
GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
ALL IN FAVOR. SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
WE ARE NOW GOING TO PUBLIC COMMENTS.
[PUBLIC HEARINGS]
NUMBER OR PUBLIC HEARINGS, NUMBER ONE.ORDINANCE 2023 DASH 15 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA.
VACATING AND ABANDONING A PORTION OF THE REAR 20 FOOT PUBLIC UTILITY AND DRAINAGE EASEMENT LOCATED WITHIN LOT 21 BLOCK 1865 PORT MALABAR UNIT 41, ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF AS RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 21 PAGES 36 THROUGH 42 OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, AND LEGALLY DESCRIBED HEREIN PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
IS THE APPLICANT HERE? DOMINIC IS THE APPLICANT HERE? HE HAD TO COME BACK.
ANY. ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD, MADAM SHERMAN? NO, SIR. IT IS FINAL.
OKAY, SO I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK FOR A MOTION.
IS THERE ANYONE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? STEP RIGHT UP. CAN I SAY SOMETHING? YES. IS IT REGARDING THIS ITEM? IS IT ABOUT A SAFETY ISSUE HERE? PALM BAY? NO, IT'S GOT TO BE.
WE ALREADY HAD OUR PUBLIC COMMENTS.
YOU CAN WAIT TILL THE END AND WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS AGAIN.
IS THERE ANYONE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK FOR A MOTION.
SO MOVED. GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON.
SECONDED BY SECOND DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
ANY COMMENTS, GENTLEMEN? NO. JUST FOR THE PUBLIC THAT MAY NOT KNOW.
THIS IS JUST FOR THE GENTLEMAN TO PLACE A SHED IN HIS BACKYARD.
CORRECT. AND COUNCILMAN FOSTER.
ALL IN FAVOR. SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
WE ARE NOW ON ITEM NUMBER TWO.
I'M GOING TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING, MADAM SHERMAN.
AS THIS WAS HEARD LAST MEETING, HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? MR. BATTEN. BILL BATTEN, 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET SOUTHWEST ON PAGE 37, LETTER G, THAT'S WHEN THEY'RE ADDRESSING THE PERMANENT MAST ARM FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN PLACE BY APRIL 30TH OF THIS YEAR.
[01:40:02]
IT'S NOT THERE.SO MY QUESTION IS, HAVE WE RECEIVED THE DESIGNATE, THE DESIGNATED FUND BOND THAT THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO PRESENT BECAUSE THESE CONTRACTORS HAVE FAILED TO MEET THEIR COMMITMENT AS PER THIS AGREEMENT? SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE PUTTING THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTHS ARE AND HELPING US OUT A LITTLE BIT.
AND THEN ON PAGE 71, QUESTION STATES THAT ALL ROADS PRIVATE, NO, NOTHING DEDICATED TO THE PUBLIC.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IF SOMEBODY COULD ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
FRANK, DO YOU KNOW? I DON'T SEE.
THE LAST I HEARD IT WAS STILL IN DESIGN IS STILL IN REVIEW BY THE COUNTY.
A THIRD REVIEW BY THE COUNTY ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO.
I HAVE NOT HEARD THE STATUS OF WHERE THE DESIGN IS, AND MR. BATTEN IS CORRECT IN THE AGREEMENT.
IT DOES STATE BY APRIL OF THIS YEAR TO HAVE THE SIGNAL INSTALLED.
THE SECOND ITEM REGARDING THE STREET FOR BEING ALL PRIVATE.
SO THAT MUST BE A MAYBE AN ERROR, BUT THAT MAIN ROAD WILL BE A PUBLIC ROAD.
CAN WE ADD A NOTE TO THAT? AT THIS POINT? MS. SHERMAN. OR MADAM ATTORNEY.
WHAT COUNSEL COULD DO IS SUGGEST WHAT CHANGES THEY WOULD LIKE AND NOT APPROVE IT AT THIS MEETING.
ALLOW US TO NEGOTIATE THOSE CHANGES AND BRING BACK THE AGREEMENT WITH THE CHANGES THAT COUNSEL HAS REQUESTED OR HAVE THE THE APPLICANT, YOU KNOW, EXPLAIN WHY THEY DON'T WANT TO GO ALONG WITH THOSE CHANGES.
OKAY. YEAH, THAT'S WHERE I WOULD BE COUNSEL IN PARTICULAR WITH THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL.
AND BECAUSE I'M SURE THAT THE THE ROAD MAY BE SOME SOME OTHER ISSUE.
I WOULDN'T BE VOTING TO APPROVE THIS COUNSEL.
MY, MY MY ONLY OTHER POINT WITH WITH THEM BEING PRIVATE ROADS, IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING IS FOR THEM TO MAINTAIN, NOT THE CITY.
IS THAT CORRECT OR NO? THE INTERNAL STREETS, I BELIEVE THEY'RE ALL GOING TO BE PRIVATE STREETS THAT THE TO BE MAINTAINED.
BUT THE EXTENSION OF MARYLAND EVENTUALLY TURNS INTO A JOURNEY THAT WILL BECOME A PUBLIC ROAD.
AND IT'S BEING DESIGNED AND IT'S BEING CONSTRUCTED IN THAT WAY.
THAT'S WHY OUR INSPECTORS ARE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW AS JOURNEY BEING CONSTRUCTED.
WE'RE INSPECTING BECAUSE WE KNOW FOR SURE IN THE FUTURE THAT WILL BE A PUBLIC ROAD.
BUT TO THE POINT WITH THE BOND.
YES, MAYOR, WE CAN'T MOVE FORWARD UNTIL THAT'S ADDRESSED.
ADAM SHERMAN WE JUST MOVED THE TABLE THIS OR PENDING NEGOTIATION.
MADAM TERESE, YOU WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT? I'M SORRY, SIR. WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT THE DATES.

BRUCE MOYE WITH MBB ENGINEERING, REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT.

THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO OPEN UP THE QUESTIONS TO COUNCILMAN FOSTER SINCE HE HE'S REMOTE RIGHT NOW.
COUNCILMAN. FOSTER. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT REGARDING THIS ITEM NUMBER THREE? THEN THERE. OKAY.
ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? THANK YOU. THE SPEAKER CARDS? YES, MR. BILL BATTEN.
BILL BATTEN 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET SOUTHWEST.
I'M STILL CURIOUS WHERE ALL THESE EXECUTIVES WANT TO START LIVING IN THEIR ESTATE HOMES, BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIND THEM HERE IN PALM BAY BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING RID OF ALL THE ONE ACRE SITES THAT WOULD MAKE THOSE BEAUTIFUL ESTATE HOMES.
OKAY. ITEM NUMBER TWO, TURN LANE EXTENSION.
SO THE SCHOOL ZONE HAVE THE TURN LANE EXTENDED PAST ABOUT BREVARD AVENUE.
THEN YOU COULD HAVE THE TRAFFIC ENTERING ON ELLINGTON STREET AND THAT WOULD MAKE A COMPLETE YOU COMING BACK AROUND ONTO THE TURN DURING THIS THAT WOULD ALLEVIATE ALL THE TRAFFIC BACKING UP ONTO JUPITER BOULEVARD ONE HALF OF THE OF THIS SOLUTION COULD EVEN BE MADE WITHOUT THE DEVELOPER'S INVOLVEMENT THE CITY COULD COULD DO THAT RIGHT NOW SO WE COULD SOLVE THAT PROBLEM.
[01:50:04]
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.MR. MOORE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO ANY OTHER SPEAKERS? NO, SIR. DEPUTY MAYOR. MR. MOORE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADDRESS THAT REQUEST? SOUNDS LIKE YOU WANT ME TO.
SO I THINK WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THAT ISSUE AND I'M SURE THAT WE KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT, MR. MAYOR. AND AS FAR AS THE TURN LANE, WE'VE NEGOTIATED THAT WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD TO MAKE IT ANY ANY FURTHER THAN IT ALREADY IS BEING PROPOSED WOULD BE MORE OF A BURDEN ON SCHOOL BOARD, FOR ONE. AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WOULD HAVE A TURN LANE THAT WOULD INCORPORATE ANOTHER CITY STREET IN THE TURN LANE THAT YOU WOULD BYPASS.
THAT WOULD BE KIND OF UNUSUAL.
SO I DON'T THINK YOUR YOUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER WOULD PROBABLY APPRECIATE THAT.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE DID NEGOTIATE THAT.
WE TALKED ABOUT THAT. WE'RE PROVIDING THAT AS REALLY ON OUR ON OUR DIME.
SO WE'RE HOPING THAT'S GOING TO SOLVE THAT PROBLEM.
I DON'T THINK IT NEEDS TO BE ANY LONGER.
SO THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT.
ALL RIGHT. AND AND YOU ALSO WORKED WITH I'M SORRY, MAYOR COUNCILMAN, YOU ALSO WORKED WITH THE RESIDENTS OF BREVARD AVENUE, CORRECT? YES, SIR. SIR? YES, SIR. OKAY.
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS WHILE HE'S THERE? THANK YOU, SIR. OKAY.
I'M CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASKING FOR A MOTION.
SO MOVED. SECOND, GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.

FINDING HOME OWNERSHIP IN THAT AREA.
IF WE MAY ADD, SIR. THANK YOU.
OKAY. I GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
ALL IN FAVOR. SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
AND AGAIN, MR. MOY, I TRULY BELIEVE IN ONE ACRE LOTS.
AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD FIT THERE FOR, AS YOU KNOW, THESE EXECUTIVES ARE COMING DOWN.
SO THANK YOU. WE ARE NOW ON ITEM NUMBER FOUR ORDINANCE 2023 DASH 13 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE TRANSPORTATION, HOUSING, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE CONSERVATION, INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION, COASTAL MANAGEMENT, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, INFRASTRUCTURE AND PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS.
ELEMENTS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
YES. THANK YOU, MAYOR. I'M GOING TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING, MADAM SHERMAN.
THANK YOU, SIR. THIS IS FINAL READING.
OUR CONSULTANT INSPIRES ON THE PHONE IF NEEDED FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS SINCE THE LAST DISCUSSION, I'M SIGNALING TO COUNCILMAN JOHNSON.
HE HAS NO QUESTIONS. DEPUTY MAYOR.
ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING COUNCILMAN? FOSTER? ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE NO QUESTIONS.
SO I'M GOING TO ASK IF THERE'S ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK.
BILL BATTEN 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET, SOUTHWEST ON PAGE 509.
SO WE HAVEN'T EVEN PUBLISHED THIS YET.
YET WE'RE PROMOTING THE MAJORS GOLF COURSE AS A PLUS.
AND THE THE THING ABOUT THE MAJORS GOLF COURSE THAT WAS ZONED LAND ZONED OF 0.2 ACRES PER PER HOUSE, I MEAN 0.2 ACRES.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE FIVE ACRES IN ORDER TO HAVE A HOUSE.
YET WHEN I GO THROUGH THE REST OF THE PACKET ON PAGE 514, WHEN IT STARTS TALKING ABOUT RURAL SINGLE FAMILY, IF YOU LOOK AT THAT GRAPH, IT SHOWS UNDER RURAL SINGLE FAMILY 0.02 ACRES.
SO THAT MEANS IN ORDER TO HAVE A HOUSE, YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE 50 ACRES.
I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S JUST A TYPO.
YOU GO TO THE NEXT COLUMN OF UNDER SF, IT'S 0.2.
SO WE HAVE SF, WHICH IS THE SMALLEST YOU COULD HAVE.
THEN IT GOES TO LOW DENSITY AND IMMEDIATELY JUMPS TO FIVE HOUSES PER ACRE.
SO WE CAN HAVE 0.2 HOMES OR WE CAN HAVE FIVE HOUSES PER ACRE.
[01:55:05]
I'M JUST, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST ALWAYS UPSET BECAUSE WE HAVE NO PLACE IN ANY OF OUR PLANNING WHERE WE CAN HAVE A STATE HOMES.EVERYBODY SAYS RURAL RESIDENTIAL IS A FARM.
THAT'S THE TYPE OF PROPERTY EXECUTIVES THAT ARE WORKING AT HARRIS WANT TO HAVE.
THEY DON'T WANT TO LIVE ON A 30 BY 70 FOOT LOT.
I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE WERE SO HARD TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE LOST SOMETHING GOOD FOR THIS COUNTRY CITY.
ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? MADAM SHERMAN. DRESSING THE GULF.
THE MAJOR'S GOLF COURSE IN THIS.
I MY PAGE NUMBERS DIDN'T TRACK WITH MR. BATTEN. SO I'M GOING TO HAVE TO FOLLOW UP AND SEE IF THERE ARE TYPOS THAT HE WAS REFERENCING THAT MAYBE WE NEED TO JUST CORRECT THE SCRIVENER TYPE ISSUES.
BUT I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT BECAUSE I COULDN'T FOLLOW HIS HIS REFERENCES WITH HIS PAGE NUMBERS.
OKAY. SO DO YOU WANT TO BRING THIS BACK? I DON'T THINK YOU NEED TO. THEY SOUND LIKE MINOR CORRECTIONS THAT WE NEED TO MAKE.
OKAY. I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK FOR A MOTION.
GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON.
SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
ANY COMMENTS? NO COMMENT ANY FURTHER.
YOU'RE FINE, MAYOR. THE ONLY THING IS I DO.
I PERSONALLY AM HAPPY THAT THE MAJOR'S GOLF COURSE IS LISTED IN THERE.
SO THAT WAY ANYBODY WHO POTENTIALLY MAY WANT TO PURCHASE IT OR LOOK INTO IT CAN DO SO.
OKAY. AND I SENT THEM THE CONTACT FOR THE OWNER.
SO PEOPLE ARE LOOKING INTO IT.
SO I DON'T HAVE A I DON'T SEE ANY ISSUE WITH HAVING IT LISTED THERE.
IT'S ALL THERE. COPY THAT, DEPUTY MAYOR.
I GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
ALL IN FAVOR. SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
IS THAT AN EYE? YES, SIR. ALL RIGHT.
WE ARE NOW ON ITEM NUMBER FIVE.

I'M GOING TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK THE APPLICANT TO PRESENT THEIR CASE.
HEY, GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS JESSE DETWEILER.
1431 PARAGON ROAD, SOUTHEAST PALM BAY, FLORIDA.
32909. I WANT TO REQUEST THE EASEMENT BE VACATED SO I COULD PUT A POOL IN.
THAT'S ALL I GOT. THANK YOU, SIR.
NO QUESTIONS ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM.
[02:00:01]
PLEASE STEP FORWARD. HAVE A SEAT, SIR, AND WE'LL SO YOU CAN SIT UP FRONT IN CASE YOU WANT TO ADDRESS THAT QUESTION, SIR, PUT YOUR HAND TO 19 TRENTON AVENUE HERE IN PALM BAY.UM, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU GUYS HAVE PEOPLE SIT IN THE AUDIENCE FOR HOURS UPON A TIME TO DO THESE VARIATIONS. YOU JUST PASSED ONE.
COULDN'T ASK HIM QUESTIONS IF YOU WANTED TO.
THIS GENTLEMAN HAS BEEN SITTING HERE QUITE A WHILE.
WHY CAN'T YOU JUST GIVE IT TO THEM WHEN THEY APPLY FOR IT OR DO IT WITHOUT THEM HAVING TO MAKE AN APPEARANCE? THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR YOU.
ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, I'M CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASKING FOR A MOTION.
GOT IT. GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
ANY COMMENTS? I WOULD LIKE IF.
THANK THANK, THANK YOU, MA'AM.
BECAUSE I REMEMBER IT WAS I WAS SEEING A TREND OF MULTIPLE, MULTIPLE RESIDENTS COMING BEFORE US.
AND THEN WE GOT COUNCIL'S BLESSING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH MAKING IT MORE ADMINISTRATIVELY.
BUT WE STILL HAVE ITEMS SUCH AS SHEDS AND POOLS.
BUT IF YOU CAN JOG MY MEMORY OR HELP ME OUT.
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF GROWTH MANAGEMENT JESSE ANDERSON.
SO WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TWO DIFFERENT THINGS HERE.
WHAT WAS MENTIONED BY I BELIEVE THE PERSON FROM THE AUDIENCE WAS A VARIANCE.
THIS IS ACTUALLY A VACATION OF AN EASEMENT.
SO THIS EASEMENT IS IN PLACE BY EITHER A PUBLIC OR PUBLIC UTILITIES OR DRAINAGE EASEMENT.
SO THEY HAVE TO ABANDON THAT TO ACTUALLY CLAIM RIGHT TO IT.
AND THAT'S COMING BEFORE YOU TO MAKE A DETERMINATION ON THAT ABANDONMENT.
THE VARIANCE PROCESS IS SOMETHING THAT WE DID AMEND PREVIOUSLY WHERE WE ALLOW FOR UP TO 20% DISCRETION BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF LEVEL, WHICH IS FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT AND UP TO 12IN FOR ALREADY DEVELOPED SITES.
ACTUALLY, I THINK I SAID THAT BACKWARDS.
THAT'S WHAT IT WAS. ALL RIGHT. I'M GOOD.
THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU, DR.
AND I DIDN'T RECALL AS FAR AS THAT VARIANCE, BUT AS FAR AS THE VACATION OF EASEMENTS FOR THEIR RELATED TO UTILITIES THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARINGS ON. THERE IS A STATUTE FOR THAT.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM ATTORNEY.
ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE. I'M CLOSED.
AS YOU WERE. WE ALREADY MADE A MOTION.
I GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
ALL IN FAVOR. SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
CONGRATULATIONS. ORDINANCE 2023 DASH 29 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
SEEING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.
WHICH PROPERTY IS LOCATED SOUTH OF AND ADJACENT TO CONSIGNATA STREET IN THE VICINITY EAST OF GREENBRIER AVENUE, AND LEGALLY DESCRIBED HEREIN PROVIDING FOR A CHANGE WITH A ZONING MAP PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
HELLO. MY NAME IS ANTHONY ROSAK.
I LIVE AT 1251 OLD BAILEY LANE IN MELBOURNE, FLORIDA.
I RECENTLY MOVED THERE ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO.
A YEAR AGO, I PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY ON CASTANEDA FOR MY FAMILY.
I WENT TO THE CITY BEFORE I PURCHASED IT AND ASKED THEM ABOUT REZONING.
THEY SAID THERE WAS STEPS I HAD TO TAKE.
NUMBER ONE, I HAD TO HAVE IT HOLD A MEETING FOR PEOPLE WITHIN 500FT.
I HAD THAT MEETING, EVERYBODY THAT WAS INTERESTED, I THINK THERE WERE 7 OR 8 SHOWED UP.
THEY DIDN'T HAVE. THEY HAD CONCERNS.
I HAD A ZONING MEETING LAST WEEK AND I BELIEVE IT WAS OKAY UNTIL A GENTLEMAN CAME UP AND HE DIDN'T LIKE ME CHANGING MY ZONING FROM RESIDENTIAL TO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THAT THE CITY SHOULD HAVE
[02:05:04]
MORE RURAL RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.THE AREA THAT'S IN AT THIS MOMENT, THERE'S A LOT OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.
RURAL, RESIDENTIAL TO ME IS HAVING HORSES AND BEING ABLE TO RIDE YOUR YOUR HORSE AROUND.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO RIDE A HORSE ON PORT MALABAR BOULEVARD? I MEAN, ON MALABAR ROAD.
I LIVED WE MOVED HERE 50 YEARS AGO TO PORT MALABAR AND IT WAS A LOT OF RURAL RESIDENTIAL AND I DID SEE HORSES WALKING DOWN PORT MALABAR, BUT I JUST WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT REZONE.
I GUESS THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY.
ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT COUNCIL? ANY QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCILMAN. FOSTER.
ANY SPEAKER CARDS ON THIS, MR. BATTEN? GILBERTON 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET SOUTHWEST.
I HAVE FOUR ITEMS TO ADDRESS ON THIS.
FIRST ONE IS IT'S THE LOSS OF RURAL RESIDENTIAL.
RURAL RESIDENTIAL DOES NOT MEAN HORSES, COWS, PIGS AND SHEEP.
THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT AT RURAL RESIDENTIAL.
IF YOU HAVE MORE, THAT'S GREAT.
BUT THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED TO FOCUS IN ON IS ONE HOUSE PER ACRE, RIGHT? THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES ON THREE SIDES.
THE ONLY SIDE THAT IS NOT IS TO THE WEST SIDE OF THIS PROPERTY IS RURAL RESIDENTIAL.
THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY EASEMENT TO THE SHOULD BE VACATED TO THE CITY.
IT WOULD ALLOW CONTINUITY FOR THE ROAD.
I JUST NOTICED THAT THE EASEMENT ON THE THIS PROPERTY STICKS OUT INTO THE STREET.
HOW COULD YOU PUT FOUR HOUSES IN THIS ONE ACRE LOT AND STILL MEET ALL YOUR CRITERIA FOR ZONING? IT'S NOT IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
UNLESS SOMEBODY CAN SHOW ME A PLAN THAT SAYS THAT I STICK TO MY GUNS.
AND THEY KIND OF AGREED WITH ME.
I'M EMPATHETIC TO THE TO THE GENTLEMAN.
I UNDERSTAND HE WANTS TO HAVE A HOUSE, TOO.
HE SAYS TWO HOMES, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT HE PUT IN FOR HIS REQUEST.
IT SAYS FOR TWO HOMES ON ONE ACRE WOULD BE PRACTICAL.
I COULD SEE THAT, BUT NOT FOUR.
AND THAT'S WHAT'S IN THE REQUEST.
SO I HAVE TO STAY TRUE TO MY GUNS.
CHANGING OF RURAL RESIDENTIAL.
I'M AGAINST IT AND THAT'S WHERE I STAND.
ANY OTHER SPEAKER CARDS? YES. MAYOR CAROL RIVER.
GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS CARLA WEAVER.
I AM A RESIDENT OF 172 GREENBRIAR NORTHWEST.
THE GENTLEMAN IS STATING THAT TO THE WEST OF THE PROPERTY THAT'S IN QUESTION.
CASTANADA IS RURAL RESIDENTIAL.
WE ALL WENT TO THE MEETING PRIOR, LIKE MR. ROSATI MENTIONED, THERE WERE NO OBJECTIONS TO HIS REQUEST FOR HAVING THE REZONING TO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE MR. BHATT LIVES.
HE DOESN'T LIVE WITHIN OUR AREA.
WHY DOES HE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THIS? I AM ALL IN FAVOR OF MR. ROSSETTI REZONING.
GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS SARAH BERGE.
I LIVE AT 181 GREENBRIER AVENUE.
MY PROPERTY IS DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH THE PROPERTY THAT WAS REFERENCED.
[02:10:01]
THAT LADY SOLD THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY.SHE DIVIDED HER RURAL RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY AND CUT THAT PIECE OFF.
PRIOR TO ALL THIS, ALL DOWN, GREENBRIER USED TO BE RURAL RESIDENTIAL.
IT WAS ALL ZONED SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING.
I LIVE ON A VERY RARE PIECE OF PROPERTY.
I'M NOT SELLING RIGHT NOW, BUT MY HOME IS RURAL RESIDENTIAL.
ALL THE OTHER PROPERTY AROUND THAT EVEN FURTHER FORWARD IS NOT RURAL RESIDENTIAL ANYMORE.
SO WHEN ALL THIS WAS BROUGHT TO US, EVERYBODY WAS NOTIFIED AND SIX PEOPLE SHOWED UP TO THAT MEETING.
SO THERE IS NO ISSUE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
IF YOU LOOK ALL AROUND THERE, EVERY PIECE OF PROPERTY IS A SINGLE FAMILY HOME.
HE DID NOT SAY HE WANTED TO BUILD A DEVELOPMENT.
THE REST OF NORTHWEST LOOK AT HERITAGE PARKWAY.
THEY'RE BUILDING HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS OF HOMES ON TINY LITTLE LOTS.
HE'S NOT SAYING, HEY, I'M COMING IN AND PUTTING ALL THESE HOUSES IN THERE.
HE DID. HE JUST ASKED FOR IT TO BE REZONED.
WAS THERE TALK ABOUT WHAT HE MIGHT DO? ABSOLUTELY. BUT HE'S NOT A HUGE BUILDER COMING IN ASKING YOU TO APPROVE BUILDING ALL THESE HOMES ON TINY LITTLE LOTS.
AND WHEN IT COMES TO THAT, IF HE BRINGS IT TO YOU AND WE OPPOSE IT, THEN WE CAN COME BACK TO A MEETING AND TALK ABOUT IT, CAN WE NOT? I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE ISSUE IS.
SO THAT'S WHERE I STAND ON IT.
I'M ALL IN FAVOR OF HIM REZONING THAT PROPERTY TO SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING.
AND I SEE ABSOLUTELY NO REASON WHY IT CANNOT BE CHANGED.
FROM RURAL RESIDENTIAL TO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.
90% OF THE LOTS IN A SEVERAL BLOCK AREA ALL SURROUND THERE BECAUSE I TAKE WALKS EVERY DAY.
THE GENTLEMAN MAY PUT ONE HOME.
HE'S NOT GOING TO BUILD A SUBDIVISION IN THERE.
HE JUST NEEDS TO HAVE THAT ZONING.
AND I AM FULLY BACK READY TO BACK HIM.
NEXT SPEAKER. NO MORE SPEAKER CARDS, SIR.
YOU WANT TO STEP UP AND ADDRESS THE COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE? WELL, I NEVER SAID I WAS GOING TO BUILD FOR SIR.
I'M SORRY. ADDRESS THE QUESTION.
HE YOU APPROACHED? OKAY. WANTED NEW AT.
OKAY. THERE WERE FOR HIS CONCERNS.
ARE THERE? YOU SPLIT IT UP INTO FOUR.
I NEVER SAID I WAS GOING TO SPLIT.
THE ZONING GOES SINGLE FAMILY.
AND THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID. YOU HAVE TO.
I CAN'T SAY I WANT TO SPLIT IT IN TWO.
THEY DIDN'T. THEY TOLD ME, I HAVE TO SAY SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.
SO THAT'S WHAT THE THAT'S WHAT THE ZONING IS.
IT'S EITHER RURAL, RESIDENTIAL OR SINGLE FAMILY.
SO FIRST I WOULD HAVE TO SAID HAVE IT CHANGE TO SINGLE FAMILY AND THEN I CAN GO TO THE OR GO TO ZONING AND TELL THEM WHAT MY PLAN WOULD BE, WHETHER I WANT TO PUT TWO, THREE, FOUR.
THERE'S NO WAY I COULD PUT THAT MANY AS FAR AS THE THE RIGHT OF WAY GOES.
THAT'S HOW THE PROPERTY WAS WHEN I BOUGHT IT.
I SEE HOW WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT WHERE THE RIGHT OF WAY GOES OUT TO THE ROAD.
SO IF I HAD TO VACATE IT TO THE CITY, I WOULD VACATE IT.
IT'S NOT NOTHING THAT I WOULD OPPOSE TO.
WHAT WERE THE OTHER TWO? THINK THAT WAS REALLY IT THAT I RECALL.
SO I THINK YOU ADDRESSED THOSE.
SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT JUST PUTTING TWO HOMES ON THAT ACRE.
I WOULD LIKE TO PUT TWO HOMES ON THERE.
CORRECT. YOU WOULDN'T PUT ANY MORE AND YOU WOULD VACATE AS IS? YES, I WOULD VACATE.
SO COULD COULD WE MAKE THAT PART OF THE MOTION? MADAM. MADAM SMITH, YOU CERTAINLY COULD LIMIT THE DENSITY AS FAR AS VACATING, MAKING IT DEPENDENT
[02:15:06]
ON ON THIS REZONING.I WOULD BE MORE COMFORTABLE IF, YOU KNOW, STAFF REACHED OUT TO HIM AND SEPARATELY DISCUSSED VACATE AND WHAT OUR NEEDS ARE AS OPPOSED TO MAKING IT A CONDITION OF THE REZONING.
WHAT? WHAT IS. THANK YOU, SIR.
I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
AND COUNSEL, WHAT IS YOUR PLEASURE? MAYOR I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 2023 DASH 29 TO LIMIT THE SPLITTING OF PROPERTY TO TWO SINGLE FAMILY LOTS. FIRST READING.
I'LL SECOND THAT. I GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON.
MY UNDERSTANDING WHAT'S BEFORE US IS JUST A CHANGE OF, YOU KNOW, FROM R TO R.
S TO I WAS READY TO SUPPORT IT AS, AS IS, I GUESS, ADDING MORE TO IT.
MY UNDERSTANDING, ANYWAY, WHATEVER THIS FUTURE PLAN IS WOULD HAVE TO STILL HAVE TO COME BACK TO US.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S NECESSARILY NEEDED WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO, BUT I THINK AS THE REQUEST PRESENTED TO US, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD JUST AS IS, BECAUSE ANY FUTURE PLAN GOT TO COME BACK BEFORE THIS BODY.
SO TO ME, JUST WE'RE DOING A LITTLE MORE THAN THAN NEEDED TO BE DONE.
WELL, WELL, THE MOTION, THE MOTIONS.
ARE YOU ASKING ME TO TO COMMENT? AND THAT'S MY I'M READY TO MOVE FORWARD AS THE MOTION IS MADE.
BUT OKAY, TO ME, I JUST I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS NEEDED.
I'M JUST WANTING TO PUT THAT ON THE RECORD.
BUT THE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE, BECAUSE OF THE SIZE I DO NOT BELIEVE COMES BACK TO COUNCIL.
IT WOULD JUST BE HANDLED ADMINISTRATIVELY.
SO I WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT FOR YOU.
GOOD WITH THE WITH THE MOTION ADDED ON THAT.
COUNCILWOMAN JOHNSON ADDED TO THE MOTION.
SIR, I THINK THERE'S A CLARIFICATION FROM OUR ASSISTANT DIRECTOR.
I'LL HAVE HIM COME UP AND JUST STATE THAT ON THE RECORD.
GOOD EVENING. ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF GROWTH MANAGEMENT, JESSE ANDERSON.
SO THE CONDITION THAT YOU CAN PLACE ON THIS HAS TO BE ON THE DENSITY, NOT ON THE NUMBER OF LOTS.
SO IT'S ON THE NUMBER OF DWELLING UNITS FOR THE PROJECT AREA IN QUESTION.
SO A SIMPLE LOT SPLIT JUST ONE INTO TWO WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD DO THROUGH THE COUNTY.
IF IT'S MORE THAN TWO LOTS, THEY WOULD COME THROUGH THE CITY.
SO IF YOU ARE TO CONDITION IT TO, FOR INSTANCE, TWO UNITS PER ACRE ROUGHLY, THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT WOULD POTENTIALLY SATISFY THE TWO UNITS THAT ARE LOOKING FOR IT WOULD BE SOMETHING YOU'D BE ALLOWED TO DO AND THEY WOULD NOT THEN COME THROUGH THE CITY AGAIN BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE DOING A SIMPLE LOT SPLIT AND JUST BUILDING TWO HOUSES.
THANK YOU. SO SO WHAT I'M HEARING IS A MOTION NEEDS TO BE AMENDED FOR TWO UNITS PER ACRE.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
YES, SIR. HOW MANY ACRES ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? ONE ACRE. IT'S. YES, SIR.
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS.
YES, SIR. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A HOUSE PER ACRE, RIGHT? TWO? YES. TWO.
NO MORE THAN TWO DWELLING PLACES ON THAT.
SO I GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY MAYOR MEDINA.
ALL IN FAVOR. SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
WE ARE NOW ON ITEM NUMBER EIGHT RESOLUTION 20 2314, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE TO ALLOW FOR A SELF-STORAGE FACILITY IN CC COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT ZONING, WHICH PROPERTY IS LOCATED WEST
[02:20:02]
AND ADJACENT TO MINTON ROAD AND IN THE VICINITY SOUTHWEST CHANDLER ROAD AND LEGALLY DESCRIBED HEREIN, GRANTING THE USE AS A CONDITIONAL USE, PROVIDING FOR A COMMENCEMENT PERIOD, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS JOSH NICHOLS WITH SCHMIDT.
NICHOLS, AGENT FOR THE APPLICANT ON THIS ITEM.
SO I'LL KEEP THIS BRIEF IN THE INTEREST OF TIME AND HOPEFULLY THERE'S NOT MANY CARDS ON THIS ONE.
BUT SO THIS IS THE PALM BAY SELF-STORAGE, AND THE FORMAL REQUEST IS FOR A SITE PLAN AMENDMENT.
SO WE'RE JUST AMENDING THAT TO TO RECONFIGURE THE PLAN AND ALSO ADD SOME SQUARE FOOTAGE.
OUR OUR CLIENT ACTUALLY PURCHASED THE PROJECT AFTER IT GOT APPROVED.
AND THEN THEY HAVE CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS FROM THEIR FLAG USER FOR THIS THAT THEY NEEDED TO AMEND.
SO AGAIN, HERE'S THE 6.06 ACRE LOT ON MINTON JUST BY THE PINEAPPLE GROVE ACADEMY WITH ZONING AND FUTURE LAND USE CONSISTENT WITH COMMERCIAL AND COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL ZONING.
THIS IS THE APPROVED SITE PLAN THAT YOU MAY REMEMBER.
AGAIN, IT'S BEEN JUST OVER A YEAR, BUT ALL ONE STORY, THE TRADITIONAL ROLL UP DOOR STYLE.
SO OUR OUR CLIENT AND WHO'S PROPOSING THIS DEVELOPMENT HAS HAS SIMILAR ONE STORY BUILDINGS OUT THERE BUT ALSO CHANGE THAT ONE STORY AT THE SOUTH END TO A THREE STORY BUILDING THAT'S ALL CLIMATE CONTROLLED ACCESS CONTROLLED SECURITY MEASURES ALL IN PLACE THERE.
SO REALLY, THIS IS THE THE BEST VIEW OF IT, THE PRETTY PICTURES.
SO THE SITE RENDERING TO KIND OF SHOW WHAT THE BUILDING WILL LOOK LIKE, VERY MODERN DESIGN.
AND I THINK IT'LL BE NICE ALONG THE STREETSCAPE THERE.
SO AGAIN, PROJECT DATA WON'T TAKE TOO MUCH TIME ON THIS, BUT WE DO MEET THE PARKING, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SELF STORAGE WITH THE CONDITIONAL USE APPROVED IN THE LAST GO AROUND. TOTAL BUILDING COVERAGE 27% FOR SO WE'RE IN IN LINE WITH ALL OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS.
SO AGAIN WE'LL GO THROUGH A THROUGH EYE HERE.
BUT THESE ARE THE CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS IN EACH OF THOSE HAVE BEEN MET OR EXCEEDED.
AND WE'RE IN AGREEMENT WITH STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF'S CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE. IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN THOSE.
ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCILOR COUNCILMAN? JOHNSON. NOT REALLY A QUESTION, MAYOR.
IT'S EYE PLEASING, ESPECIALLY COMING OFF A MAIN CORRIDOR SUCH AS THAT.
SO I APPRECIATE YOUR WORK ON THIS.
THANK YOU. ANY SPEAKER CARDS FOR THIS ITEM.
ADAM SHERMAN. ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD? NO, THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN.
FOSTER. ANY QUESTIONS ON ITEM NUMBER EIGHT? THANK YOU. NO SPEAKER CARDS, NO QUESTIONS.
I'M CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASKING FOR A MOTION.
GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON.
SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
AS YOU WERE. LET ME REPHRASE THAT.
I GOT A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON.
ALL IN FAVOR. SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
WE ARE NOW ON ITEM NUMBER NINE, RESOLUTION 2023 DASH 15, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE TO ALLOW FOR A RETAIL STORE OCCUPYING MORE THAN 5000FT² OF GROSS FLOOR AREA IN NC NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT ZONING.
WHICH PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE VICINITY NORTH AND ADJACENT TO SAINT ANDRE BOULEVARD AND WEST OF AND ADJACENT TO DEGROOT ROAD AND LEGALLY DESCRIBED HEREIN GRANTING THE USE AS A CONDITIONAL USE AND PROVIDING CONDITIONS HEREIN, PROVIDING FOR A COMMENCEMENT PERIOD, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
I'M OPENING UP THE PUBLIC HEARING TO ASK THE APPLICANT TO PRESENT THEIR CASE.
[02:25:02]
MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL JACK SPIRA, FIVE 205 BABCOCK STREET, PALM BAY.I REPRESENT THE APPLICANT IN THIS.
BASICALLY UP TO 5000FT² IS A PERMITTED USE WITHIN THIS.
THEY'RE LOOKING TO CONSTRUCT A DOLLAR GENERAL RETAIL STORE OF 10,640FT².
THE GROSS SALES AREA WOULD BE 8513FT² ON 2.25 ACRES.
THE AGAIN, AS I INDICATED, A CONDITIONAL USE IS REQUIRED SINCE IT IS IN EXCESS OF 5000FT².
THERE WAS A CITIZENS PARTICIPATION MEETING HELD.
I THINK ONE PERSON APPEARED ASK SOME QUESTIONS.
THIS DID GO BEFORE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD.
AND I HAVE WITH ME HOLLY IRISH.
SHE'S VICE PRESIDENT, ENGINEERING FIRM, AND SHE'LL GIVE YOU SOME BACKGROUND ON IT.
I'D LIKE TO RESERVE THE TIME IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS.
GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. HOLLY IRISH VECTOR CIVIL ENGINEERING HERE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT.
BUT AS MR. SPIRO MENTIONED IN THE STAFF REPORT, WE ARE ASKING FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR THIS TO ALLOW A COMMERCIAL RETAIL STORE, A DOLLAR GENERAL OF ABOUT 10,700FT², AND THAT IS IN EXCESS OF THE 5000 SQUARE FOOT ALLOWED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.
UM, SOME AERIAL VIEWS, SOME SURROUNDING ZONING OR LAND USE.
THE YOU'LL SEE THAT THIS IS A 2.25 ACRE.
THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT WE INTEND TO HAVE.
THE DEVELOPMENT FOR THIS SITE, THE BUFFERS AND SETBACKS THERE THAT YOU SEE ARE BASED ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL REMAINING PARCEL THAT WOULD REMAIN THERE.
BUILDING COVERAGE IS A REQUIREMENT OF UP TO 30% AND WE ARE AT 11% WITH THIS BUILDING.
WE ARE ABLE TO MEET OTHER DESIGN CRITERIA, AS MENTIONED.
WE HAVING SOME TROUBLES WITH THIS.
A COUPLE OF OTHER ITEMS TO NOTE.
WE HAVE SIDEWALK PROPOSED ALONG BOTH FRONTAGES OF THE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT AREA AS FAR AS ITEM C OF SECTION 185 087 PERTAINS TO UTILITY AVAILABILITY.
THERE IS NOT POTABLE UTILITIES THERE.
PUBLIC UTILITIES ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO THE SITE AT THIS TIME IN LIEU OF USING A POTABLE WELL.
WE ARE PROPOSING A WATER MAIN EXTENSION FROM FELTON STREET, AND THAT'S A LITTLE OVER A HALF A MILE.
SO WE'LL WORK WITH PUBLIC WORKS ON THAT AND ENTER A DEVELOPER AGREEMENT.
BASED ON OUR PRELIMINARY COORDINATION.
WE WOULD PROBABLY INCREASE THE SIZE OF THAT FOR THE CITY FOR FUTURE AVAILABILITY.
SO ALL OF THAT WOULD BE HANDLED DURING THE SITE PLAN PERMITTING PROCESS AS WELL AS STAFF REVIEW OF COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER DESIGN CRITERIA AND OTHER THAN THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCIL? YES, SIR. CARRY ON.
WHAT ABOUT SEWER? SEWER WILL BE.
SO YES, THERE WAS NOTHING CLOSE ENOUGH PROXIMITY TO CONNECT TO PUBLICLY.
OKAY. AND ALL THE STAFF REQUESTS ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED OR IT'S STILL IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THAT? YES. SO WE'RE STILL IN THE PROCESS.
SOME OF THOSE HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED.
YOU'LL SEE THERE'S A TRAFFIC STUDY IN THE COMMENTS IN THE REPORT, TRAFFIC STUDY IS MENTIONED.
SO THAT KIND OF STUFF WILL COME OUT DURING THE SITE PLAN PERMITTING PROCESS.
AND WE WOULD COMPLY WITH EVERYTHING AT THAT POINT IN TIME.
THE OTHER THING I WOULD ADD, LOOKING AT THE SITE IN TERMS OF WORKABILITY FROM ONE POINT TO THE VERY NEXT TO THE CLOSEST STREETS CONNECTION AS FAR AS SIDEWALKS AVAILABILITY, IS THAT SOMETHING I KNOW WE'VE DONE THE SAME THING TOO, ON THE ROOF WHERE THE THE DEVELOPER, WE REQUIRED THAT THEY EXTENDED THE SIDEWALKS TO THE NEXT 1 OR 2 STREETS JUST TO ALLOW
[02:30:09]
WALKABILITY. MAKES IT A LITTLE EASIER IN THE INTERSECTION.UM, WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING THAT YOU GUYS WOULD CONSIDER? SO, SO WHAT DEPUTY MAYOR IS SAYING IS WE HAD A WE HAD A SAME COMPANY COME BEFORE US ON DEGROOT, JUST NORTH AND COUNCIL AT THAT TIME REQUESTED TO EXTEND THAT THAT SIDEWALK TO THE, THE NEAREST INTERSECTIONS.
UM AND THEY, THEY, YOU GUYS ACTUALLY OBLIGED WITH THAT REQUEST.
SO I THINK THAT'S WHERE HE'S GOING WITH THAT.
SO THERE'S KIND OF ZERO FOOT CANDLE REQUIREMENTS ALONG THE PROPERTY LINE AND THAT SORT OF THING.
SO WE WOULD ALSO HAVE TO DO A CROSSWALK TO THAT.
OKAY. DOES THAT SATISFY YOU? YES. I'M GOING TO YIELD TO YOU.
COUNCILMAN JOHNSON. BECAUSE YOU'RE ALL ABOUT FILLING IN FOOD DESERTS OR.
YES, MAYOR. SO MY FIRST QUESTION, THE NEED FOR AN INCREASE OF 10,640FT². THEY ALLUDED TO IT.
SO YES, SIR, AS THE ENGINEER FOR THIS AND EVEN THE DEVELOPER, THEY DO NOT CHOOSE THE MARKET LOCATIONS FOR DOLLAR GENERAL THAT COMES FROM DOLLAR GENERAL.
AND THIS WOULD BE WITH THIS SIZE STORE, THE 10,640 PROTOTYPE.
THERE WILL BE MORE OF THAT THAN THERE HAS BEEN IN THE PAST.
SO TRYING TO PROVIDE A LITTLE MORE HEALTHY EATING AND MORE OPTIONS.
BUT WITH THAT, WITH THAT AREA GROWING, WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING YOU ALL WOULD CONSIDER FOR FUTURE GROWTH OF THIS AREA AND FUTURE CUSTOMERS OF DOLLAR GENERAL? IT'S IT'S REALLY HARD TO GUESS WHAT THOSE ARE.
SO EVERYTHING WE HAVE IS BASED ON THE CURRENT USE.
SO I CAN'T SPECULATE AS TO WHAT KIND OF GROWTH IT WOULD TAKE TO ACTUALLY WARRANT THAT.
I'D HAVE TO SAY IT'S NOT ANYTHING THAT WE'VE CONSIDERED ADDRESSING WITH THIS PROJECT.
YEAH, RIGHT ALONG THAT SAME LINE THAT THAT, THAT VEIN, MA'AM A TURN LANE GOING INTO THE DG WOULD WOULD REALLY ENHANCE AND PREVENT ANY ACCIDENTS IS HOW I'M LOOKING AT IT AND I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
AND THE INCREASE IN SQUARE FOOTAGE COUNCILMAN JOHNSON ALLUDING TO MY TOSSING IT TO YOU, I SAID BECAUSE YOU WERE A HEALTHY EATING. I SPECIFICALLY REMEMBER YOU WANTING DOLLAR GENERAL TO HAVE PRODUCE DURING A CERTAIN TIME, BUT I'M IN AGREEMENT.
[02:35:05]
CAN'T SEE HOW IT'S NOT HEAVILY TRAFFICKED BECAUSE IT JUST GOES THROUGH ALL THAT COMMUNITY OUT THERE.WHAT IS THAT UNIT 51 RIGHT NOW? IS THAT UNIT 51 THAT IT LEADS INTO, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, 49 AS YOU WERE 49.
OKAY. UM, SO THAT, THAT'S, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT WOULD ENHANCE THE PROJECT, BUT IT'S IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WASN'T CONSIDERED OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO ASK TO COME FORWARD AGAIN? I GUESS AND I WOULD SAY I WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE THAT FOR THE SITE PLAN PERMITTING PROCESS.
I MEAN, THEY REVIEW THAT AND THOROUGHLY AND I'M NOT SURE MR. WATANABE HAS HAD A CHANCE TO EVEN REVIEW THE TRAFFIC STUDY.
SO I CERTAINLY KNOW IF HE CONSIDERS THAT A CONDITION LATER ON, HE WOULD.
ALL RIGHT. I THINK I'D LIKE TO, MA'AM.
THANK YOU, MA'AM. WE'LL GET BACK.
UH, GOOD EVENING AGAIN. FRANK WATANABE, THE CITY ENGINEER.
I HAVE READ AND REVIEWED THE TRAFFIC STUDY.
AS ERA GROWS, WE KNOW THE GROUP VENTURE MAY HAVE TO BE A FOUR LANE ROAD.
SAINT ANDRE IS ONLY ONE OF THREE MAJOR ROADS THAT GOES INTO UNIT 49 AND INTO THE COMPOUND.
SO IN THE FUTURE THAT INTERSECTION WILL BE A BUSY INTERSECTION.
I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THOUGH, BECAUSE OF THE CROSSWALK AND BECAUSE OF THIS CURVE AND WE KNOW THIS CURVE IS PRETTY HIGH SPEED CURVE, I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IF THERE IS GOING TO BE A CROSSWALK PUT IN SOME SORT OF A FLASHING BEACON.
THE NEW RECTANGULAR, RAPID FLASHING BEACON.
SO IT'S PUSHBUTTONS AND THEN THE PROTECTED RESIDENTS AND PEDESTRIANS CROSSING THE STREET.
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU COMING UP, MA'AM.
MISS IRIS, DID YOU DID YOU GET THAT INTEL THAT FRANK JUST SPOKE OF? UM, YES.
BASICALLY, THE TRIP THRESHOLDS ARE LOW.
THE AREA IS INTENDED TO GROW AT SOME POINT IN TIME, SO I WOULD JUST AGAIN ASK THAT WE REALLY ADDRESS THAT DURING THE SITE PLAN PERMITTING PROCESS AND NOT MAKE IT A CONDITION OF THIS, BUT WITH THE CROSSWALK AND THE FLASHING BEACON, THAT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD DO WITHIN THE REALM OF THE SIDEWALK REQUIREMENTS.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MA'AM.
SIR, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COUNCILMAN. YEAH. UM, BECAUSE AFTER THIS, WE WON'T SEE IT AGAIN.
YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S MY ONLY CONCERN WITH.
WITH BEING FORTHCOMING AND TRYING TO ESTABLISH A TURN.
LANE, SIR. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHERE I'M AT.
YEAH. YEAH. I'M THINKING OF THE FUTURE, TOO.
THAT IS AN AREA THAT THAT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW.
AND AND I'M, YOU KNOW, I'M IN A QUANDARY HERE BECAUSE I.
I KNOW THE INCREASE IN SIZE, HOW MANY EMPLOYEES YOU PLAN ON HAVING.
THAT'S A CORPORATE ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW THAT NUMBER.
I'M SORRY. I WOULD THINK THAT WOULD BE A CORPORATE ISSUE.
YOU. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANTED TO ADD, MISS? NO, JUST THE REITERATION OF THE TURN LANE TO BE APPLIED TO CONSIDERATION OF THE PROJECT AS IT STANDS AND UPON FURTHER REVIEW AT SITE PLAN WITH PUBLIC WORKS.
ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCILMAN THE MAYOR.
I TEND TO SUPPORT THE IDEA OF A TURNING LANE AS WELL.
I'M SAYING THE AREA NEEDS TO SOME TO SOME EXTENT, YOU NEED A GALLON OF MILK.
YOU HAVE TO EITHER GO GO NORTH OR GO SOUTH.
I THINK THE AREA, YOU KNOW, CAN I'VE.
BUT AGAIN, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S IMPORTANT FOR US IS SAFETY.
I MEAN, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE GROWTH.
BUT IF THAT AREA IS GROWING VERY, VERY RAPIDLY, VERY RAPIDLY.
SO I FORESEE THIS BEING AN ISSUE BEFORE.
I THINK THAT SHOULD BE FAIRLY REASONABLE OR.
FAIRLY EASY FOR THE DEVELOPER TO CONSIDER THAT.
I CAN'T SEE THAT ADDING ANY OTHER ENDURANCE OR ANY ISSUES OR COST WISE, I JUST CAN'T SEE WELL.
[02:40:03]
PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE KIND OF COST AND THAT IS THE COST FOR THIS IS KIND OF BEING PUT INTO THAT WATER MAIN.SO I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND FUTURE GROWTH.
AND FOR A FOR A PROJECT THAT DOES NOT WARRANT THAT, THAT IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AT THAT POINT IN TIME.
MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. YEAH.
THANK YOU. YES, SIR. I MEAN, CLEARLY I'M GETTING THE DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL THAT THEY'D LIKE TO SEE A TURN LANE AND I THINK, I THINK WHAT MISS IRISH INDICATED THAT CERTAINLY WHATEVER STAFF RECOMMENDS THEY WOULD AGREE TO THAT.
I THINK COUNCIL CAN GO AHEAD AND SEND A RECOMMENDATION TO TO TO STAFF.
AND AS MRS IVERS INDICATED, WITH THE WITH THE WITH THE WITH THE EXTENSION OF THE WATER LINE, WITH THE EXTENSION OF THE SIDEWALK, YOU KNOW, IT JUST MAKES IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT.
BUT CERTAINLY I'D REQUEST THAT THE COUNCIL COUNCIL CONSIDER APPROVING THIS, BUT GIVING DIRECTION TO STAFF THAT IN FACT IF IT'S NEEDED, THEY ABSOLUTELY WILL GO AHEAD AND DO IT. BUT IT MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT AS THEY CONTINUE TO PUT ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL CONDITIONS ON THEM, WHICH MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DEVELOP THAT PROPERTY.
BUT BUT I THINK THEY UNDERSTAND THAT'S WHAT COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO SEE, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT TOO.
I'M TRYING TO FIND SOME WAY TO, AT LEAST SINCE STAFF YOU HAVE THE CONFIDENCE IN STAFF THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT AS MUCH CLOSER AS TO WHETHER THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S THAT'S NECESSARY OR NOT.
BUT IT JUST BECOMES MORE DIFFICULT AS ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS ARE PLACED ON THERE.
RIGHT. AND MR. SPEER, ALL DUE RESPECT, I THINK WHAT WE'RE WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
THIS CAN BE AT 5000FT², BUT WE'RE ADDING IT TO 10,000FT².
IT MAY NOT BE PART OF THE STUDY.
THAT FORWARD VISION, THAT THAT TURN LANE, WE COULD BE AVOIDING SOME SOME HAZARD AND SAFETY ISSUES.
THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING FROM COUNCIL.
WHAT I'M HEARING FROM FROM THE APPLICANT IS THAT NO, WE'RE WE JUST WE DON'T WANT TO DO THIS IN THIS FORWARD THINKING. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MAY BE THE THE PROCESS, BUT IT MAY NOT BE WARRANTED WHEN WE'RE THINKING IT IS WARRANTED FOR SAFETY MEASURES AS THE WHAT'S BEFORE US IS AN INCREASE.
THUS WE'RE BELIEVING THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT MORE TRAFFIC.
THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING FROM FROM THIS COUNCIL.
COULD I HAVE A MINUTE TO SPEAK WITH MY CLIENT? YES, SIR. ABSOLUTELY.
ABSOLUTELY. IN THE MEANTIME, ARE THERE ANY SPEAKER CARDS? IS IT? SIR, I'D LIKE TO CALL THE SPEAKER CARDS AND THEN YOU COULD ADDRESS US AND ADDRESS THE QUESTIONS.
SPEAKER CARDS? YES. MAYOR JONATHAN.
MY NAME IS JONATHAN RAYNOR :44.
SIXTH STREET, PRETTY MUCH WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING.
JONATHAN, CAN YOU RAISE THAT UP? THAT THAT LECTERN? YOU CAN RAISE IT UP.
THERE'S A BUTTON RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.
THAT WAY YOU CAN SPEAK INTO THE MIC.
OKAY. SO I HAVE A FEW ITEMS I WANT TO BRING UP.
SO AS YOU MENTIONED BEFORE, THERE ARE SEVERAL DOLLAR GENERALS IN A LOCATION.
I CAN HIT THREE OF THEM, PROBABLY FOUR, ACTUALLY.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR AN ADDITIONAL ONE, ESPECIALLY THE ECONOMIC IMPACTS, THE ONE THEY JUST BUILT UP NORTH ON DEGROOT AS WELL THAT ONLY EMPLOYS LIKE TWO PEOPLE PART TIME.
IT SEEMS IT'S FULLY AUTOMATED.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE BEEN IN THERE.
ALSO, AS YOU NOTICED IN THE GRAPH THERE OR ON THE SITE PLOT, THAT'S A BLIND 90 DEGREE CURVE.
IF YOU TAKE A RIDE DOWN THERE, YOU ACTUALLY NOTICE THAT A REFLECTOR SIGNS GOING SOUTH ON DEGROOT.
THEY'RE DIFFERENT COLORS BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE GONE THROUGH THEM.
[02:45:06]
YOU CAN IMAGINE A CAR COMING CAREENING THROUGH A STORE.THE TRAFFIC STUDY ALSO DOES AN ACCOUNT FOR THE FACT THAT THE TRAFFIC COMING OFF OF SAINT ANDRE FROM THE WEST OR FROM THE EAST TURNING LEFT ONTO SAINT ANDRE TO TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT, IT YES, THE TRAFFIC FLOWS FROM SAN FILIPPO UP TO GROOT AND VICE VERSA.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A BACKUP ON SAN FILIPPO OF PEOPLE TURNING IN, WHICH THEN YOU'VE GOT A BLIND CURVE WHERE PEOPLE CAN'T SEE ALSO THE SIDEWALK COMMENT ABOUT A FLASHING LIGHTS, DEPENDING ABOUT WHERE THAT'S PLACED THAT YOU MAY NOT SEE IT ON EITHER APPROACH.
SO THAT IS AN INCREASED CONCERN THERE AS WELL.
AS FAR AS THE I GOT A FEW OTHER NOTES.
ALL THE PEOPLE WHO OWNED THOSE LOTS WERE NOT IN TOWN OR NOT RESIDENTS OF PALM BAY.
SO THAT PUBLIC HEARING REALLY DOESN'T AFFECT THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE.
PLUS, THE THE MAIN LOT RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET IS A SCHOOL.
SO OBVIOUSLY NO ONE'S GOING TO COME FOR THAT AS WELL.
UM. I THINK THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT.
THANK YOU. ANY OTHER SPEAKERS? NO, SIR. ALL RIGHT, MR. SPERRY. YOU WANTED TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS FROM THE RESIDENT MAYOR? YES. BEFORE THAT, CAN I JUST ADD ONE BIT OF CLARIFICATION? YES. REGARDING THE REQUEST FOR THE TURN LANE, IF IT'S NOT WARRANTED BY THE TRAFFIC STUDY, THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES IN THE PAST WHEN STAFF HAS WORKED WITH DEVELOPERS TO REQUEST SOMETHING OVER AND ABOVE.
OBVIOUSLY, IF THEY AGREE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THEN IT WOULD BE IMPACT FEE CREDITABLE.
SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT AS A POTENTIAL SCENARIO AS WELL AS AN IMPACT CREDIT.
I ONLY HEARD PART OF WHAT THE GENTLEMAN WAS SAYING.
HE'S CORRECT. MOST OF THE AREA AROUND HERE IS VACANT.
I THINK THERE'S ONE HOUSE THAT'S WITHIN ABOUT 200 AND 300FT.
THE NEXT HOUSE IS SOMETHING LIKE 500FT.
SO THERE'S JUST THERE'S JUST NOT NOT A LOT OF HOMES WITHIN THE AREA.
AND THAT'S THE REASON WE WENT WITHIN 500FT.
BUT THAT'S WHY THERE WEREN'T THAT MANY PEOPLE.
ON THE QUESTION OF THE IMPACT, CREDIT IMPACT FEE, CREDIT.
LET ME JUST AND I APOLOGIZE IF YOU WANT IF IF YOU'D LIKE IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THE NEXT ITEM, BE AFTER US AND WE'LL THEY'LL GIVE US A CHANCE TO TALK AND THEN AND CALL US BACK AFTER YOU TAKE THE NEXT ONE, IF THAT WOULD.
NO, WE'RE ALREADY ON THIS ITEM.
OKAY. WE'RE ALREADY DISCUSSING THIS ITEM.
OKAY. IF YOU JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE, THEN I APOLOGIZE.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND SO LET'S TAKE A FIVE MINUTE RECESS.
[02:55:30]
OKAY. I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO CALL THIS MEETING BACK TO ORDER.[02:55:39]
I'M GOING TO CALL THIS MEETING BACK TO ORDER, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.I'M CALLING THIS MEETING BACK TO ORDER.
MY UNDERSTANDING ALSO, MR. WATANABE ALSO HAS SOMETHING NEEDS TO BRING UP WITH REGARDS TO THE ROAD RIGHT AWAY.
SO I'LL LET HIM MAKE HIS COMMENTS THEN I CAN RESPOND.
YES, SIR. AGAIN, FRANK WATANABE, THE CITY ENGINEER, JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT ON THE PLANS THAT'S BEING SHOWN.
DEGROOTE ROAD IS CONSIDERED ONE OF OUR COLLECTOR ARTERIAL ROADWAYS, AND IN OUR STANDARDS, THAT ROADWAY FOR FUTURE WIDENING HAS TO HOLD AT LEAST A MINIMUM OF 100FT, 50FT ON EITHER SIDE.
THE PLAN CURRENTLY SHOWS YOU CAN SEE IT'S AN 80 FOOT.
SO IT'S IT'S A TIGHTER RIGHT AWAY.
SO OUR REQUIREMENT IS TO HAVE 100FT FOR THAT CORRIDOR FOR THE FUTURE.
FOUR LANE WIDENING, PLUS ANY FUTURE TURN LANES.
SO I JUST WANT TO PUT THAT ON THE RECORD.
SO THAT MEANS THEY WOULD HAVE TO REDESIGN ANYWAY AT THIS POINT TEN MORE FEET.
THEY NEED TO ADD TEN MORE SEATS.
TEN MORE FEET OF RIGHT OF WAY.
THANK YOU, FRANK. AND MR. WATANABE WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO MENTION THAT TO ME DURING THE MEETING.
WE WEREN'T AWARE OF THIS. THAT HADN'T COME UP IN THE REVIEW.
WHAT? WHAT DISCUSSIONS WE'VE HAD WITH STAFF NUMBER ONE, AS FAR AS THE RIGHT OF WAY WE CAN GO AHEAD AND GIVE WE CAN MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO MAKE ANOTHER TEN FOOT RIGHT OF WAY ON OUR SIDE. SO TEN, TEN FOOT ON OUR SIDE, TEN FOOT ON OTHER SIDE, WE'LL HAVE 100FT.
AS FAR AS THE TURN LANE IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT POSSIBLY THAT WE COULD GET IMPACT FEE CREDITS FOR THAT WE WOULD DO WE WOULD DO THE TURN LANE AND WE'D GET IMPACT FEE CREDITS SO WE CAN GO AHEAD AND CLARIFY THAT.
SO BASED UPON THAT, I THINK THAT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM SHERMAN.
YES, SIR. SO THE TRAFFIC STUDY DOES NOT WARRANT THE TURN LANES, BUT THE IS WILLING TO PUT THOSE TURN LANES IN AS AN ADDITIONAL EXPENSE FOR THE BUILD THAT THEY'RE NOT WARRANTED OR REQUIRED TO DO.
THEN THEY WOULD BE IMPACT FEE ELIGIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS TO OUR SYSTEM.
ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU, MA'AM.
AND THANK YOU, JACK, FOR FOR HELPING US WITH THAT.
SPEAKER CARDS? YES. MAYOR JOSEPH MILLS, WE.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. WE ALREADY DID THE.
BUT THE POINT. I CAN TAKE ANOTHER SPEAKER.
WE DIDN'T CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
OKAY. WE HAVE NOT CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
THEN WE'LL HAVE TO GIVE THE APPLICANT ANOTHER CHANCE TO.
YEAH, OF COURSE. YEAH. YEAH, OF COURSE.
GO AHEAD, SIR. THIS WILL BE BRIEF.
I THINK WE JUST HANDLED MY CONCERN WITH THE STATEMENTS JUST MADE.
WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LANE WILL BE PROTECTED.
THE LEFT TURN LANE WILL BE PROTECTED AS LONG AS THE LANGUAGE THAT'S PROTECTED.
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I COME FROM VIRGINIA BEACH AND THEY'RE LIKE 15 YEARS AHEAD OF OUR PROBLEMS. SO I GET A GOOD ADVANTAGE OF SEEING WHAT WE'RE GOING TO FACE.
AND THAT'S WHERE I JUST CAME FROM THIS OVER THE WEEKEND.
SO I GOT TO SEE THEIR SMART GROWTH.
SO I'M ACTUALLY VERY ENCOURAGED TO SEE THAT Y'ALL WERE LOOKING AT THAT.
SO IT'S GOOD THAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT THIS FUTURE AND GET IT JUST GET IT IN THERE NOW BECAUSE IT WAS STATED THIS IS THE ONLY CHANCE WE'RE GOING TO GET AND I DON'T WANT YOU ALL TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE LATER DOWN THE ROAD.
WOULD YOU WANT TO ADDRESS ANYTHING ELSE, SIR? ALL RIGHT. SO I'M CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASKING FOR A MOTION.
COUNCIL. MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 2023 DASH 15.
IT'S LIKE YOU'VE GOT A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR JOHNSON OR DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN FOSTER DEPUTY MAYOR. NO MAYOR, NOTHING MUCH MORE TO ADD.
I'M GLAD CONSIDERATION IS BEING MADE.
THE DEVELOPER OR THE APPLICANT IS WILLING TO MOVE FORWARD AS WE PREPARE OUR REQUEST.
[03:00:01]
SO I'M GOOD WITH SUPPORTING THE PROJECT.YES, MAYOR. YOUR COMMENTS YOU MADE, YOU SECONDED, TALKING ABOUT THE VERY GENERAL, RIGHT? YES, SIR. THE FOR DELEGATE, GENERAL? YES, SIR. YES.
YES. THIS ONE'S ON SAINT ANDREW'S AND, UM, DE GROOT.
AS THE GROOT TURNS INTO SAN FILIPPO IN THAT.
YEAH, I'M FAMILIAR WITH THE LOCATION.
THE ONE ON MALABAR ROAD IS RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE WINN-DIXIE, AND I TRAVEL THIS ROAD EVERY DAY AND I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE WALKING FROM APARTMENTS AND SINGLE FAMILY HOMES TO GET TO THAT DOLLAR GENERAL.
I DON'T KNOW THE SIZE OF THAT DOLLAR GENERAL, BUT THEY KEEP PRETTY BUSY.
AND THE TRAFFIC IS A IT'S A TURN LANE TO GO IN, A RIGHT TURN LANE TO GO IN AND A RIGHT TURN LANE TO GET OUT. YOU CAN'T CROSS IT.
YOU CAN'T CROSS THAT DOUBLE LINE OR YOU'RE GOING TO GET HIT FROM YOUR LEFT AND YOUR RIGHT.
SO YOU GOT TO MAKE THAT RIGHT TURN PAST THE AUTO VAN.
SORA TOLLEY, I BELIEVE THAT'S IT.
UM. AND TRAFFIC IS VERY IMPORTANT AND IT'S NOT WELL LIT.
SO WITH THE DEPUTY MAYOR SAYING IT NEEDS TO BE WELL LIT.
THE TRAFFIC TURN WILL TURN, LANE WILL MAKE IT MORE SAFER.
ONCE YOU PASS MALABAR AND MINTON, I HOPE YOU AGREE TO THAT.
THAT'S A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION.
AT 5:00 IN THE MORNING, 6:00 IN THE MORNING, AND AT 6:00 AT NIGHT IT STAY BUSY AND PEOPLE GO.
MATTER OF FACT, I USE THE DOLLAR GENERAL.
IT'S BECAUSE THEY DON'T GO TO THE WINN-DIXIE.
SO BECAUSE THEY GOT CERTAIN ITEMS THAT I WANT WINN-DIXIE DON'T HAVE.
AND THAT'S WHEN OUR LARGEST WINN-DIXIE AND PALM BAY.
SO I THINK IF THE OWNERS ARE WILLING TO MAKE A TURN LANE, YOU KNOW THE TRAFFIC STUDY DON'T WANT IT, WANT IT.
MADAM ATTORNEY, THE MOTION THAT WAS MADE AND SECONDED.
IT DOES HAVE THE THE AGREEMENT OF THE APPLICANT AND THEIR WILLINGNESS TO TO ADD THAT TURN LANE WITH IMPACT FEE CREDITS.
IS THAT CORRECT? THE MOTION THAT YOU CAN MAKE A MOTION WITH THAT, BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IT IS THE MOTION THAT YOU MADE.
SO THAT, SO THEN THAT, UM, THEN COUNCILMAN OR DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
UM, ARE YOU, ARE YOU WILLING TO CHANGE YOUR MOTION AND COUNCILMAN.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHERE YOU WERE GOING OR IF THAT WAS YOUR INTENT, BUT WAS THAT YOUR INTENT? ABSOLUTELY. OKAY.
SO THAT MEANS I WOULD NEED COUNCILMAN FOSTER TO WITHDRAW HIS SECOND AND THEN YOU READDRESS THAT MOTION IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE WILLING TO DO. YES, SIR.
OKAY. SO THAT OTHER MOTION DIES WITHOUT A SECOND.
UM. OR HE COULD JUST AMEND HIS MOTION.
YOU AMEND IT TO WHAT? TO A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 20 2315 TO INCLUDE A TURNING LANE.
UH, FROM THE GROUP INTO THE PROPERTY, INTO THE PARKING LOT.
IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS SUFFICIENT.
IS THAT SUFFICIENT, MA'AM? OR IS IT FROM DEGROOT OR IS IT FROM.
IT WAS ACTUALLY FROM SAINT ANDREWS.
UM, WHAT I WAS HEARING COUNCIL REQUEST WAS TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
ONE WAS THE, THE TURN LANES THAT WOULD LEAD ONTO SAINT ANDRE FROM DEGROOT SLASH SAN FILIPPO.
[03:05:07]
OKAY. THE TURN LANES WOULD BE A LEFT TURN AND A RIGHT TURN LANE.A. THE RIGHT SIZE FOR THE FULLY WIDENED ROAD IN THE FUTURE.
SO TO ADD THAT RIGHT OF WAY AS WELL.
TURN LANE FROM SAINT ANDRE TO SO DE GROOT SAN FILIPPO KIND OF CONVERGED.
I ALSO THOUGHT IT'D BE GREAT TO GET THAT ENTRANCE INTO THE THE ENTRANCE THAT TURN LANE INTO THE FACILITY.
SO IT'S NOT ONLY THE SAFETY ISSUE THERE, BUT THAT.
YOU SEE THE VISUAL OR YOU'RE JUST GOING TO GO WITH THAT.
NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DIFFERENT TURN LANES.
SO I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE IT'S THE IT'S THE SAME TURN LANE TURN LANE IT'S THE SAME TURN LANE JUST ONE ONE LEFT TURN, ONE LEFT TURN LANE HE WAS SAYING IT'S A TWO TO FACET BENEFIT IN REGARDS TO RELIEF AND TRAFFIC, BUT THEN ALSO EASIER ACCESS TO DOLLAR GENERAL.
OKAY. IS THAT CORRECT, MAYOR OR WANTED TO ADD THAT TO.
MAYBE I'LL HAVE FRANK BACK UP, TOO, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
SO THERE YOU SEE THE ENTRANCE WAY ON SAINT ANDREW BOULEVARD.
YOU SEE THAT? THAT'S THE ENTRANCE WAY.
THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED, SO WE GOT TO WE'LL HAVE TO OPEN THEM BACK UP FIRST.
CARRY ON. CARRY ON WITH YOUR MOTION.
WE'RE REOPENING THE PUBLIC HEARING.
SO NOW THAT IT'S REOPENED, ANY ANY SPEAKER CARDS? NO, SIR. OKAY.
WAIT, WAIT. MAYOR. MAYOR, MY REQUEST SO TO REOPEN SO WE CAN BRING SO.
SO THAT STAFF CAN COME UP AND SPEAK.
IF MR. WATANABE WANTS TO SPEAK.
OH, IT'S OKAY. IT'S BEEN WITHDRAWN ALREADY.
AGAIN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. FRANK WATANABE.
WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS THE FUTURE WIDENING OF DEGROOT AND SAN FILIPPO.
THE CURRENT PLAN SHOWS AN 80 FOOT TYPICAL ON THOSE TYPE OF MAJOR COLLECTORS.
WE HAVE 100FT BECAUSE OF THE TURN LANES.
SO WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING IS WITHIN THE SAME GET TEN FEET ON EITHER SIDE.
SO IT'S 100FT, SO 50FT RIGHT AWAY.
AND THEN WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR IS ANOTHER RIGHT TURN LANE INTO THE SITE OFF OF SAN ANDRE.
YES, SIR. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT? YES, SIR. A RIGHT TURN LANE INTO INTO SAINT ANDRE.
SAINT ANDRE OFF OF SAINT ANDRE'S INTO THE PROPERTY FROM FROM SAINT ANDRE ONTO THE PROPERTY THAT WILL ALLEVIATE ANY ANY CONGESTION TURNING IN CORRECT THAT MR SECTION AND AND GO INTO COUNCILMAN FOSTER POINT.
THAT'S WHAT HE WAS REFERRING TO ON MALABAR ROAD.
YEAH. WE'RE LOOKING IN THE FUTURE RIGHT NOW.
NOT THE EXISTING RIGHT, NOT THE PROJECT, THE FUTURE CONDITION OF THAT INTERSECTION.
WE'RE LOOKING AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION.
THAT IS CORRECT. THAT IS CORRECT.
I SUPPORT THAT, TOO. ALL RIGHT.
SO DOES THAT MAKE SENSE, MR. SPEIER? NO, SIR.
MAYBE IT'S GETTING LATE. BUT MY UNDERSTANDING ORIGINALLY WAS THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A LEFT TURN.
THE ISSUE WAS A LEFT TURN LANE IN.
AND SO NOW IT SEEMS TO BE OTHER OTHER LANES.
AND WE ALSO AGREED TO GIVE AN ADDITIONAL TEN FOOT RIGHT OF WAY.
SO THERE'S A TOTAL OF 100 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY.
SO NOW THE 100 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY IS IS REQUIRED, IS REQUIRED.
WE'LL GIVE AN ADDITIONAL ADDITIONAL TEN FEET.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S SOME CONFUSION.
IS IT BETTER TO TABLE THIS THING AND TRY TO FIGURE THIS OUT RATHER THAN TO TO TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT? BECAUSE I'M JUST HEARING DIFFERENT THINGS AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ON THE SAME BOOK.
[03:10:01]
YOU'VE ALREADY IT'S JUST THAT I THINK THIS OTHER PART WAS OVERLOOKED, THAT'S ALL.WHAT PART WAS OVERLOOKED? SO THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL THIS IS THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S ADDITIONAL? YES, SIR. YES, SIR.
AND SO WHAT WHAT PART WAS OVERLOOKED? SO THE RIGHT TURN LANE INTO THE FACILITY FROM SAINT ANDREW.
SO WHEN YOU'RE COMING IN SO NOW YOU WANT TO.
GO AHEAD. I WAS JUST SAYING, SIR.
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO CERTAINLY BE FLEXIBLE AND MAKE THIS WORK ON THE FLY.
AND I THINK RIGHT NOW THERE IS SOME CONFUSION AS TO WHAT IT IS THAT EVERYONE IS AGREEING TO.
WE CAN HAVE IT AS PART OF THE AGENDA.
I AM NOT ADVERSE TO THAT AND I THINK IT MAY BE A GOOD IDEA.
SO AS LONG AS YOU'RE WE WE HAVE COMPREHENSION.
I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO TABLE UNTIL OUR NEXT MEETING.
ALL RIGHT. SO I DO JUST WANT TO SPEAK ON THE TABLING TOPIC.
SO WHEN MR. SPYRA MENTIONED THAT WE WERE WILLING TO DO THE TURN LANE LEFT TURN, LANE WAS WHAT WAS MENTIONED AND WE WERE IN IMAGINING A LEFT TURN LANE FROM DEGROOTE ROAD ONTO SAINT ANDRE BOULEVARD.
SO THAT WAS WHAT WE INTENDED WHEN WE MADE THAT STATEMENT.
BUT YES, AT THIS TIME FOR THE THE THREE TURN LANES COMING INTO PLAY, WHEN WE WEREN'T EXPECTING ANY AT THE BEGINNING, WE DO ASK TO TABLE THE APPLICATION FOR THAT.
I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO TABLE.
MOTION TO TABLE THIS ITEM TO JULY 6TH, 2020 3:06 P.M..
COUNCIL MEETING. SECOND, I GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX TO TABLE THIS ITEM TILL JULY 6TH. ALL IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TODAY.
THANK YOU. WE ARE NOW ON ITEM NUMBER TEN ORDINANCE 20 2330.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, APPROVING A FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO BE KNOWN AS GARDENS AT WATERSTONE.
PHASE THREE AND PUD PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ZONING, WHICH PROPERTY IS LOCATED SOUTH OF AND ADJACENT TO MELBOURNE TILLMAN DRAINAGE DISTRICT CANAL 38 AND THE VICINITY WEST OF MERALOMA BOULEVARD AND LEGALLY DESCRIBED HEREIN PROVIDING FOR A COMMENCEMENT PERIOD PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
JOSEPH NAGY I WORK FOR THE AGENT OF THE APPLICANT.
I'VE. SINCE EVERYBODY HAD THEIR.
SO WE'RE PROPOSING THIS AREA GARDENS THREE TO BE.
ALLOWED TO HAVE 40 AND 50 FOOT LOTS WHERE PREVIOUSLY IT HAS ONLY BEEN 50 FOOT LOTS.
SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE SECOND PAGE, YOU'LL SEE THAT ALL THIS AREA IS RECREATIONAL IN THE DARK GREEN.
THE LIGHTER GREEN IS ALL THE 50 FOOT LOTS.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE THIRD ONE, YOU WILL SEE THAT WE ARE KEEPING THE SAME RESIDENTIAL TRACTS.
AND A LOT OF THE 50 FOOT LOTS WERE JUST ADDING SOME AS 40 FOOT LOTS BECAUSE THE DEVELOPER OF THE THIS PHASE AND PHASE TWO HAD ALL 50 FOOT LOTS WHEN ORIGINALLY GARDENS PHASE ONE, WHICH WAS BOUGHT BY A DIFFERENT DEVELOPER, ONLY HAD 40 FOOT LOTS. SO TO BE COMPETITIVE IN THIS AREA, THEY NEED SOME 40 FOOT LOTS WITHIN THEIR DEVELOPMENT.
SO WE HAD THE PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING, WHICH WE HAD UNANIMOUS APPROVAL ON.
[03:15:05]
STAFF SUPPORTS THIS AND WE HAVE NO ISSUES WITH THE COMMENTS MADE BY THE CITY ON THIS.IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.
OKAY. SO YOU HAD YOU HAD AN APPROVAL FOR 171.
RIGHT? CORRECT. AND NOW YOU WANT TO BUMP IT UP TO WHAT? 199. IT'S APPROXIMATELY 20.
ADDITIONAL. SO YOU WANT TO INCREASE THE DENSITY? WE'RE STILL WITHIN THE ALLOWABLE DENSITY OF THIS.
OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COUNCIL. ANY SPEAKER CARDS.
GILBERTON 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET SOUTHWEST.
THIS WAS PART OF MY ORIGINAL QUESTION WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU DIDN'T PASS PUBLIC HEARING? NUMBER TWO, BECAUSE THIS IS GARDENS AT WATERSTONE WHICH PERTAINED TO YOUR INNER CITY AGREEMENT.
IT'S ALL PART OF THAT DEVELOPMENT.
SO NOW WE KNOW WE WON'T KNOW WHAT'S IN THAT INTER-LOCAL AGREEMENT UNTIL JULY.
SO MY QUESTION IS, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH THIS AND DID WE PASS THIS ONE? WOULD YOU STILL DON'T HAVE THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE DEVELOPERS.
QUESTION NUMBER TWO OR STATEMENT NUMBER TWO, TRAFFIC IMPACT FEES HAVE TO STAY WITH THE SAINT JOHNS WATER HERITAGE PARKWAY IN THIS AREA FOR BOTH THE CITY AND THE COUNTY.
YET THE RESIDENTS ARE CURRENTLY PAYING A $9 MILLION BOND FOR THE SAINT JOHNS HERITAGE PARKWAY.
RIGHT. SO SO MY SIDE OF THIS WOULD BE THAT THE DEVELOPER, SINCE WE'RE PAYING FOR THEIR PORTION WITH THE SAINT JOHNS HERITAGE PARKWAY FROM THESE DEVELOPERS IS THAT THEY PAY FOR ALL THE REMAINING SAINT JOHNS HERITAGE PARKWAY EXPENSES.
I DON'T KNOW HOW IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT THE ORIGINAL QUESTION IS JULY 19TH FOR THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT OR JULY MEETING IS WHEN THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT IS GOING TO BE VOTED ON.
SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE NO INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS WITH WATERSTONE HOLDINGS OR WHAT ARE WE CALLING THIS ONE? WATERSTONE PHASE THREE JUST CURIOSITY.
MAYBE THE LEGAL CAN TELL US HOW WE'RE GOING TO PROCEED WITH THAT ONE BECAUSE IT DIDN'T PASS.
PUBLIC HEARING NUMBER TWO DID NOT PASS.
ANY OTHER SPEAKER CARDS, SIR? MADAM ATTORNEY? YES, SIR. CERTAINLY.
WE INCORPORATE THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND ANY OTHER DEVELOPMENT ORDERS, WHETHER THEY BE ORDINANCES OR ANYTHING ELSE, GIVING OUR PERMIT DEVELOPMENT.
BUT THE TWO OF THESE THINGS ARE NOT CONNECTED IN THAT WAY.
IF YOU ALL WANT TO MAKE CHANGES OR NOT MAKE CHANGES TO WHAT THEIR FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS, THAT ACTUALLY SHOULD OCCUR HERE WITHIN THIS ORDINANCE, IT WOULD NOT BE SOMETHING WHERE WE WOULD CHANGE IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
CERTAINLY IF WE WANTED TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT, WE WOULDN'T AMEND THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
AS FAR AS WHAT THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS, WE WOULD ACTUALLY CHANGE THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN.
THANK YOU, MA'AM. ANY OTHER SPEAKER CARDS? DEPUTY MAYOR? NO, SIR.
OKAY. I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK FOR A MOTION.
SO MOVED. GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON.
SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS, GENTLEMEN? NO, NO MAYORS.
IT'S A IT'S A FEW ADDITIONAL LOTS.
I UNDERSTAND THE COMPETITIVENESS OF TRYING TO STAY WITHIN THEIR OTHER COLLEAGUES IS WHAT I'LL SAY.
BUT IT'S STILL WITHIN THE THRESHOLD, SO I'M FINE WITH IT.
DEPUTY MAYOR. FOR ME, IT'S JUST A MATTER OF PREFERENCE.
BUT YOU KNOW, 40 40 FOOT LOT IS.
WHAT? SMALL? AND I GET IT. THAT'S STILL WITHIN THE DENSITY PER ACRE WITHIN A POD.
[03:20:01]
YOU KNOW, MY PREFERENCE WOULD BE TO KEEP IT.AS YOU KNOW, EVEN 50 IS RELATIVELY SMALL.
I UNDERSTAND THE REALITY OF THAT, BUT I WILL SUPPORT IT UNLESS YOU LIKE IT.
BUT IT'S CERTAINLY NOT ABOUT ME.
BUT I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT ON RECORD.
THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN FOSTER ANY COMMENTS.
ALL IN FAVOR. SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
ITEM NUMBER 11 RESOLUTION 20 2316.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, GRANTING APPROVAL OF A PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR A PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT TO BE KNOWN AS. LIPSCOMB STREET IN R.E.M.

YES. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS CHRIS OSA.
I AM THE ENGINEER OF RECORD FOR THE PROJECT.
I REPRESENT KIMLEY-HORN AND I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF MY CLIENT, KIMLEY-HORN KIMBERLY PULTE HOMES OF FOR THE LIPSCOMB STREET TOWNHOME PROJECT. THIS PROJECT WAS PRESENTED TO THIS COUNCIL A FEW MONTHS BACK.
THE SOUTHERN TWO TRACKS ARE IN A FLOOD ZONE.
SINCE THAT TIME, THE SURFACE WATER ENGINEER HAS PROVIDED US THAT INFORMATION AND THEN WITH DISCUSSIONS WITH THE PALM BAY PALM BAY COLONY AND THE ADJACENT CANALS TO THE EAST AND WITH DISCUSSIONS WITH STAFF, WITH THE EXISTING FLOODING ISSUES THAT THE PALM BAY COLONY HAS DUE TO THE LACK OF EXISTING DRAINAGE OF THAT COMMUNITY.
WE'VE LOOKED AT THE DRAINAGE ISSUE AND WE HAVE COME TO THE DETERMINATION THAT IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THE CURRENT CONDITION THAT'S THERE AND BE, YOU KNOW, WITH THE NEW PROJECT, WE HAVE SEPARATED AND BASICALLY CREATED TWO DIFFERENT STORMWATER SYSTEMS, ONE THAT PROVIDES THE FLOODPLAIN COMPENSATION ON THE SOUTHERNMOST TRACK AND THEN A SEPARATE SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES THE REQUIRED DRAINAGE FOR THE PROPOSED TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT.
IN ORDER TO DO THAT, THE PROJECT ENDED UP LOSING TOWNHOME UNITS.
SO THE DENSITY ACTUALLY IS BEING REDUCED FROM 226 TOWNHOMES TO 202 UNITS.
SO SO IN THIS CASE, UNLIKE OTHER CASES, WE'RE ACTUALLY REDUCING THE PROPOSED DENSITY OF THE PROJECT IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T CREATE A FURTHER FLOODING PROBLEM, ACTUALLY IMPROVE THE CURRENT CONDITIONS THAT IS THERE AND ALSO MAKE THE PROJECT WORK FOR OUR CLIENT.
SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING GREAT WITH STAFF DURING THIS PROCESS AND THAT'S WHY WE ARE HERE IN FRONT OF THE COUNCIL TODAY TO SHOW YOU THE PREDEVELOPMENT PLAN ONCE AGAIN WITH THE AMENDMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE SINCE THEN.
AND YOU'RE MAINTAINING THAT THAT.
THE PALM BAY COLONY RETENTION POND AS WELL.
THE TWO THEIR LINEAR CANALS, THERE'S FOUR OF THEM.
SO WE'VE GOTTEN CLARIFICATION ON THAT.
THOSE CANALS ARE PART OF THE LAND PURCHASE FOR PULTE.

WE DID HAVE TWO COMMUNITY MEETINGS.
THE FIRST ONE WE HAD WAS ON A THURSDAY, SO WE HAD TO REDO IT.
WE HAD THREE PEOPLE SHOW UP THURSDAY.
WE HAD A SECOND ONE IN JANUARY.
NO ONE SHOWED UP. AND SO WE HAVE BEFORE YOU THE THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THOSE THREE DIFFERENT BUSINESSES AND THEY ARE READY TO GET RUNNING AND GET THEM BUILT SO THEY WILL BE OPERATIONAL.

THIS IS THE COMMERCIAL THAT THE CITY THAT THE CITY NEEDS.
THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ALL ALONG.
THAT'S WHAT WE WHAT WE NEED AND WHAT THE WHAT THEY'RE OFFERING.
THIS IS ALSO WHAT WAS LAID OUT IN THE ORIGINAL PLANS FOR BAYSIDE LAKES.
THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO SEE FOR THE BUSINESS TAX DOLLAR COMING IN.
WHY HAS IT TAKEN SO LONG FOR THE JEWEL OF CITY OF PALM BAY TO TO GET THESE BUSINESSES? JUST CURIOSITY THERE.
ANY OTHER SPEAKER CARDS? NO, SIR. OKAY.
WOULD YOU? I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK FOR A MOTION.
GOT A MOTION BY KENT COUNCILMAN JOHNSON.
SO. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S GOOD TO HAVE IT BACK.
SO. IT'S GREAT TO HAVE HIM BACK.
YEAH. MAYOR, MAYOR, ON THAT SAME SAME, YOU KNOW, TONE, I WOULD SAY THE SAME.
I REMEMBER SPECIFICALLY OF THAT TIME AND I CAN TELL YOU MY FAMILY WILL BE HAPPY.
I DON'T KNOW IF MY POCKET WILL BE AS HAPPY.
I HAVE A TEENAGE DAUGHTER THAT LOVES STARBUCKS, SO.
WE ARE NOW ON ITEM 14 ORDINANCE 20 2333 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA APPROVING A FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO BE KNOWN AS TIRE SERVICE CENTER PALM BAY IN PUD PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ZONING, WHICH PROPERTY IS LOCATED NORTH OF AND ADJACENT TO BAYSIDE LAKES BOULEVARD IN THE VICINITY WEST OF ELDRIDGE BOULEVARD, AND LEGALLY DESCRIBED HEREIN PROVIDING FOR A COMMENCEMENT PERIOD, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
I'M GOING TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK THE APPLICANT TO PRESENT THEIR PRESENT HER CASE.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR. MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL.
WITH ME IS THE DEVELOPER, REPRESENTATIVE JACK ZUCKERMAN.
AND THE ENGINEER OF RECORD IS CHANGING.
ROGER IS HERE. IF YOU HAVE ANY ENGINEERING QUESTIONS, THIS IS THE PARCEL THAT'S TO THE WEST.
OF THE THREE THAT WE JUST DISCUSSED.
IT AGAIN IS PART OF THE OLD 2000 POD OF 500 PLUS ACRES.
THIS WAS NOT PART ACTUALLY, IT IS PART OF THAT SAME PROJECT.
AND THIS IS A COMMERCIAL ZONED AREA.
THIS IS A SMALLER PARCEL THAN THE THREE YOU JUST HAD.
NEW ROOF TOP OF MY HEAD A MINUTE AGO.
IT IS. IT IS A LITTLE OVER AN ACRE PARCEL.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A MAVIS TIRES YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN.
ONLY 25% IS REQUIRED BY BY CODE.
THIS IS COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
IT MEETS THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND THE STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED APPROVAL.
THIS WAS ALSO RECOMMENDED UNANIMOUSLY AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD.
SO THERE WAS NOT A COMMUNITY MEETING AND WE DID HAVE TWO COMMENTS AT PNC.
AGAIN, THIS WILL MEET ALL PERFORMANCE CRITERIA AS IF THERE IS NOISE, WHICH WE DON'T ANTICIPATE.
IT WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY, MAVIS TIRES.
[03:35:06]
THE THE DRIVEWAY OR THE.RIGHT. THEY'RE CONNECTED THROUGH ONTO PUBLIX, CORRECT? YES. IT GOES TO THE PUBLIX PARKING LOT, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM.
AND THEN WHEN YOU MENTIONED THE NOISE, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE DECIBEL RATING WHEN IT COMES TO THE, YOU KNOW, THE I BELIEVE IT WAS FROM AND IT WAS AND I HAVE COCHRAN, I DON'T REMEMBER WHO THAT WAS, BUT THERE WAS A CONCERN ABOUT NOISE.
YEAH. YEAH. HOW DOES IT GO? G OH, I THOUGHT IT WAS MORE LIKE SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
MY EARS ON THIS SENSITIVE IS YOURS, MAYOR.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S GOT TO BE HUMOR AND EVERYTHING, RIGHT? THANK YOU SO MUCH.
GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL. DANIEL CORCORAN 2124 WIN BROOK DRIVE.
I'M ACTUALLY HERE ON BEHALF OF MY BROTHER, MR. PHILLIP CORCORAN, WHO LIVES AT 1878 LYNBROOK DRIVE, WHICH IS MUCH CLOSER TO THIS THIS LOCATION THAN THAN WHERE I LIVE.
HE HAS A PREVIOUS OBLIGATION TO TONIGHT AND COULDN'T BE WITH YOU.
THIS IS THE PNEUMATIC GUNS THAT MAKE THE NOISE THAT YOU KNOW FOR PUTTING ON AND TAKING OFF TIRES.
SO HE ASKED HOW THE IMPACT WOULD BE, HOW THE THE THE THE NOISE IMPACT WOULD BE HANDLED.
NOW WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE NOISE IS NOT CONSIDERED PART OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
BUT HERE WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TO PERHAPS MAYBE HEAD OFF A PROBLEM.
AND WHY NOT TRY TO ADDRESS THIS AND DESIGN SOMETHING IN THAT'S DIFFERENT THAT MITIGATES OR ELIMINATES THE NOISE PROBLEM? SO EACH OF YOU RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM PHIL LAST WEEK AND WE DID WE DID GET SOME RESPONSE ON THAT.
BUT I VOLUNTEERED TO TO GO AND PUT TOGETHER SOME EXHIBITS HERE TO TAKE TAKE YOU THROUGH THIS AND PERHAPS PROPOSE SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE AGREEABLE TO THE DEVELOPER THAT WOULD PERHAPS EITHER MITIGATE OR ELIMINATE THE NOISE PROBLEM.
SO, BRIAN, NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
OKAY, SO THIS IS AN EAGLE'S EYE VIEW OF WHERE WE ARE.
THE RED BLOCK ON BAYSIDE LAKES BOULEVARD.
THE RED DASHED LINE IN THE LOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER IS THE PROPERTY AREA WHERE SUMMERFIELD MEETS MEETS THE THE THE PROPERTY NEXT TO IT. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
THIS IS FROM THE PACKAGE THAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU.
THE BROWN BLOCK IN THE MIDDLE IS THE SQUARE BUILDING THAT WILL HOUSE THE TIRE CENTER AND THE RED BLOCKS REPRESENT THE TIRE BAYS. SO YOU SEE THAT FOUR OF THE BAYS NUMBERS ONE THROUGH FOUR POINT TOWARDS THE DOLLAR TREE AND BAYS FIVE THROUGH EIGHT POINT ACROSS BAYSIDE LAKES BOULEVARD TOWARDS TOWARDS THE TOWARDS THE THE SUMMERFIELD DIVISION SUBDIVISION.
SO YOU CAN SEE IT'S 1200 FEET FROM THE I'M SORRY, 1200 FEET FROM THE TIRE CENTER'S BAY, EIGHT ACROSS TO THE PROPERTY LINE.
YOU'VE GOT THE FOUR ELEVATIONS.
YOU CAN SEE THE TOP TO THE CURRENT POSITION ON THE LEFT.
IT FACES WEST AND SOUTH WHERE THE BAY DOORS WOULD BE.
WE'RE ASKING, WHY CAN'T THIS BUILDING BE ROTATED 90 DEGREES CLOCKWISE SUCH THAT THE THE THE THE BAYS ONE THROUGH FOUR WOULD FACE NORTH TOWARDS MR. STEWART AND FACES AND BAYS FIVE THROUGH EIGHT WOULD FACE WEST TOWARDS THE DOLLAR TREE AND WE WOULDN'T HAVE ANY BAYS POINTING TOWARDS ACROSS BAYSIDE LAKES BOULEVARD TOWARDS SUMMERFIELD.
SO THANK YOU. THAT'S OUR PROPOSAL.
THANK YOU. ANY OTHER SPEAKER CARDS.
ROBERT SACHSE 1796 WESTBROOK DRIVE SOUTHEAST.
[03:40:03]
YOU GOT THIS OPEN SPACE RIGHT THERE THE WAY IT IS NOW.WHAT HAD HAPPENED WHEN WE FIRST CAME ON BOARD AS AS PART OF THE DIRECTORS IN SUMMERFIELD IS THAT WE DENIED ANOTHER ISSUE, NOT AN ISSUE, BUT A PROPOSED TIRE PLACE.
CAN I GET THAT SOUND AGAIN? HOW DO YOU DO THE PNEUMATIC TOOLS? IT'S IRRITATING, IT'S IRRITATING AND IT'S NOISY AND IT'S EIGHT TO 5 OR 8, 8 TO 6.
ALL OF THAT FROM ACROSS FROM WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE TO BAYSIDE LAKES IS FLAT PROPERTY.
OKAY, THAT NOISE IS GOING TO TRAVEL.
RIGHT. BAYSIDE LAKES, THE CROWN JEWEL OF PALM BAY.
I'D LIKE TO GET A CHEER ON THAT.
YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME ACROSS.
I MEAN, THESE ARE NOMADIC GUNS GOING TO BE GOING CONSTANTLY.
IT'S NOT THAT WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE LOW ON TIRE COMPANIES.
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER TIRE PLACE RIGHT THERE? AND WHY ARE YOU GOING TO DEGRADE THE QUALITY OF LIFE AT BAYSIDE LAKES THAT THERE IS NOTHING BLOCKING THAT SOUND? I LIKE THE INITIAL IDEA OF TURNING IT, BUT WHY DO YOU WANT TO PUT THAT IN THERE AT ALL? I MEAN, WE ARE SLOWLY DEGRADING.
WHAT IS THE CROWN JEWEL OF BAYSIDE LAKES? THAT NOISE IS GOING TO TRAVEL.
THAT'S NOT A THAT DOESN'T IMPROVE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE.
DO YOU WANT THAT FOR YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE YOU'RE AT? DO YOU WANT THAT FOR YOUR SIR OR YOU? THAT'S NOISE POLLUTION.
LET'S LOOK AT IT FOR WHAT IT IS.
ANY OTHER SPEAKERS? ALL RIGHT, MADAM ROSENKER.
THANK YOU, MAYOR. I HAD NOT KNOWN ABOUT THIS INFORMATION.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT'S PRESENTED, BUT I DO HAVE A RESPONSE.
1200 FEET ACROSS BUSY BAYSIDE LAKES BOULEVARD.
NO ONE HAS RAISED THOSE CONCERNS.
AND TO RIGHT NOW THESE ARE SPECULATIVE CONCERNS.
1200 FEET IS IS A LONG DISTANCE AND NOISE AND SOUND DOES TRAVEL, BUT IT DOES NOT AMPLIFY.
SO I DON'T KNOW YOUR SOUND CODE.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE IMPULSE NOISE.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE DECIBELS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
BUT WHATEVER IT IS, THIS BUSINESS HAS TO COMPLY.
AND AS SOON AS IT DOESN'T, THE CITY WILL HEAR THAT IT'S NOT.
AND THEN MEASURES WILL HAVE TO BE TAKEN.
AT THIS POINT, THERE'S BEEN NO PLAN TO ROTATE IT.
THERE'S BEEN NO NOISE ABATEMENT.
SO I WOULD SUBMIT THAT THIS NOISE IS SPECULATIVE AND THAT THAT IS A PERFORMANCE STANDARD.
SO I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE.
IF IT IS, IT WOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE BUSINESS OWNER, BUT THAT WE DO HAVE A NOISE ORDINANCE.
WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW THAT DECIBEL LEVEL BY CHANCE? UH, I DON'T KNOW THE STANDARDS.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A STRAIGHT DECIBEL OR IF IT'S A NOISE STANDARD.
WELL, THERE'S THERE'S DECIBEL.
AND WE ALSO DO IT BY THE RECEIVING PROPERTY LOCATION.
SO THERE'S DIFFERENT TIMES AND DAYS.
BUT YES, THERE IS A NOISE ORDINANCE AND THEY THEY AS ANY OTHER BUSINESS AND RESIDENTS SUBJECT TO IT.
COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCIL. COUNCILMAN.
AND NO ADDITIONAL SPEAKER CARDS.
I'M CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASKING FOR A MOTION.
SO MOVED. SECOND, GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
COUNCILMAN. JOHNSON. YES, I'LL WEIGH IN, SIR.
[03:45:02]
I REALLY DON'T THINK THERE WILL BE AN ISSUE OF NOISE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE CARS.I'VE HAD WE ALL HAVE HAD OUR TIRES SERVICED AND TO ME IT'S A MAJORITY OF THE NOISE IS WHEN YOU'RE THERE AND WHEN YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE CARS TRAVELING BACK AND FORTH.
I THINK THAT'S MORE OF A NOISE ISSUE THAN THE TIRE CENTER WILL BE TO THAT POINT.
WHEN WE HAD ISSUES BACK IN 2018, 2019 WITH A DIFFERENT BUSINESS OFF OF PALM BAY ROAD AND WE HAD THE NOISE ORDINANCE IN PLACE. RESIDENTS WERE ABLE TO BRING THOSE CONCERNS TO US AND CODE ENFORCEMENT AND POLICE WENT OUT, MEASURED THE DECIBELS AND IT WAS EXCEEDING THE DECIBEL AMOUNT AND THEN IT HAD TO BE ADDRESSED AS SUCH AND THE BUSINESS ADDRESSED IT AS SUCH.
SO IF IT IS A ISSUE, IT WILL BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE IT'S BEEN ADDRESSED BEFORE BACK IN 2018 AND 2019.
MAYOR DEPUTY MAYOR ANY, ANYTHING TO ADD? I DON'T HAVE MUCH. OKAY.
THANK YOU. I GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
ALL IN FAVOR. SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE CHAPTER 174 FLOODPLAIN AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SUBCHAPTER STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND CONSERVATION PART TWO DRAINAGE PLAN BUT MODIFYING PROVISIONS RELATED TO ELEVATIONS FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION, PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT.
THANK YOU, MA'AM. I'M GOING TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING, MADAM SHERMAN.
THANK YOU. WE HAVE VALENTINO HERE THIS LATE.
GOOD EVENING, SIR. COUNCILMAN VALENTINO PEREZ.
PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. TRYING TO GET USED TO THAT TITLE AND BEING HERE SO LATE.
SO THIS ITEM IS SOMETHING THAT I'M WRAPPING MY HEAD AROUND.
I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF CONCERN TO A LOT OF THE EXISTING HOMEOWNERS.
BUT AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE STAFF REPORT, WE'RE ADDRESSING NOT ONLY SOMETHING THAT'S ESTHETICALLY PLEASING TO THE HOMES THAT ARE CONNECTING TO EXISTING SEWER, BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, SOME OF SOME OF THE HOUSES ON THESE STREETS WERE DEVELOPED ON SEPTIC TANK AT THE TIME THAT THEY WERE BUILT.
THERE IS A MANDATORY CODE AND UTILITIES FOR CONNECTION.
SO IT'S ESTABLISHING A MAX HEIGHT OF HOW HIGH THE FINISH THE FINISHED FLOOR ELEVATION CAN BE.
SO IT COULD BE ESTHETICALLY PLEASING AT THE SAME TIME REGULATES THE HEIGHT, LEGAL DRAINAGE, HISTORICAL DRAINAGE AND THE ASSURANCE THAT THAT WATER IS RETAINED ON THE LOT AND IT DOESN'T AFFECT THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES.
THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, VALENTINA.
ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM.
STEP FORWARD, SIR. AND I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE, BUTCH.
BILL BATTEN, 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET SOUTHWEST.
THIS ORDINANCE STILL DOES NOT ADDRESS THE VARIANCE IN HEIGHTS FROM LOT TO LOT, RIGHT? RIGHT. EVERYTHING STILL RELIES ON WHAT THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT SAYS, AND THAT IS DETERMINED BY BASS AND FLOOD LEVEL OF YOUR WATER LEVEL. RIGHT.
IT'S GOOD TO HAVE AN ORDINANCE, BUT BUT WE REALLY DON'T HAVE A SAY WHERE THIS IS TONGUE IN CHEEK BECAUSE THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT IS THE ONES THAT ARE SAYING FOR WHAT THE HEIGHTS OF OUR HOMES HAVE TO BE.
SO AND IF YOU LOOK FROM LOT TO LOT GOING DOWN ANY STREET, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE JUST SIDE BY SIDE NEIGHBORS, YOU'LL SEE ANYTHING FROM 2 TO 5 FOOT DIFFERENCES IN THE HOUSES.
[03:50:01]
WHICH RAN TO 19 TRENTON AVENUE.I WANT TO THANK STAFF, CITY COUNCIL AND WHOEVER ELSE WAS INVOLVED WITH THIS ABOUT A YEAR AGO.
IT'S KIND OF LATE FOR MY NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE I GOT AN EIGHT FOOT, SIX FOOT AND GROUND LEVEL ALL ON THE SAME BLOCK, BUT HOPEFULLY IT WILL HELP THE OTHER RESIDENTS OF PALM BAY.
MY QUESTION IS, WHO DETERMINES? THE SEPTIC SYSTEM THAT WILL BE INSTALLED INTO A NEW HOME.
I UNDERSTAND THERE'S 3 OR 4 DIFFERENT TYPES.
IS IT THE BUILDER? IS IT THE SEPTIC TANK GUYS? IS IT THE CITY OR THE COUNTY HAS NO INPUT AS TO WHAT YOU PUT.
THEY TELL YOU THE HEIGHT THAT YOUR DRAIN FIELD AND YOUR TANKS HAVE TO BE.
THEY GIVE YOU A HEIGHT ABOVE THE WATER LEVEL, JUST LIKE MR. BATTEN JUST SAID THERE.
SO WHO DETERMINES WHAT SEPTIC SYSTEM GOES INTO A NEW BUILD? THE OTHER FOLLOW UP I HAVE I UNDERSTAND THAT YEARS AGO THERE USED TO BE A 30% BUILD OUT FOR A STREET OR A NEIGHBORHOOD OR UNIT. I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING TO REFERENCE IT TO.
I GUARANTEE YOU WE MAY GET WATER, BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET SEWER.
SO I'D LIKE TO SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE IF YOU'VE GOT 15 LOTS AND YOU GOT 15 SEPTIC SYSTEMS, SOONER OR LATER WELLS ARE GOING TO START TO BE POLLUTED.
OKAY. IT SAYS HERE IN THE ORDINANCE, IT SAYS SEPTIC PERMIT CALCULATIONS ARE BASED AROUND 34 TO 46IN ABOVE THE CROWN OF THE ROAD.
IT DOESN'T MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT WATER TABLE LEVELS OR ANYTHING ELSE.
SO I'M KIND OF NEEDING AN INTERPRETATION ON THAT TOO.
BUT I DO WANT TO SAY THANK FRANK AND HIS CREW AND THE GENTLEMAN.
I CAN'T RECALL HIS NAME BACK THERE.
VALENTINA? YEAH. THE GUY THAT YOU KEPT HER LATE.
BUT LAST YEAR, MISS SUSAN AND I HAD TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS MATTER.
SO, SIR, IT TAKES A WHILE, BUT GOVERNMENT REACTS SOMETIMES.
VALENTINA, YOU WANT TO STEP FORWARD? AND MAYBE IF YOU NEED FRANK, ADDRESS SOME OF THESE CONCERNS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP.
JUST LIKE BUTCH STATED THERE IS THAT ESTABLISHED 34 TO 46.
I WILL ADD ALSO THAT WITHIN OUR ORDINANCES THERE IS A REQUIREMENT THAT AFTER THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT DETERMINES THE FINISHED FLOOR ELEVATION, THERE'S A BUFFER OF SIX INCHES, NO HIGHER THAN THAT.
SO I JUST WANT TO ADD THAT TO THE RECORD.
AND I CAN ALSO OFFER MR. RANDY, IF HE WANTS TO COME BY THE OFFICE AND MEET WITH MY TECHNICAL, MY ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN, AND WE CAN HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSIONS ON THE SEPTIC.
OKAY. AND WHAT ABOUT HIS QUESTION ABOUT WHO DETERMINES WHAT TYPE OF SEPTIC TANK IS THAT THE BUILDER OR IS THAT THE ACTUAL OWNER OR DO WE KNOW? IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS THE BUILDER, THE MATERIAL EQUIPMENT THAT'S AVAILABLE.
BUT THE SYSTEM IS INSPECTED BY THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
THE INVOLVEMENT WITHIN THE REGULATORY ASPECTS OF IT IS UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
AS FAR AS THE HEIGHTS AND REGULATIONS.
YES, SIR. IT'S ESTABLISHED BASED ON THE WATER TABLE.
I CAN GO IN DEPTH HERE OF THE EXPLANATION THAT I'M GETTING FROM MY TEAM.
BUT THERE IS AN ESTABLISHED WATER TABLE THAT GOES INTO EFFECT WHEN THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT ESTABLISHES WHAT THAT FINISHED FLOOR ELEVATION IS GOING TO BE FOR THAT SYSTEM.
OKAY. THE REASON THE REASON WHY I ASK BECAUSE WE HAVE A FORMER COUNCILWOMAN, KRISTINE ZONKA, WHO'S NOW THE HEALTH OFFICER FOR THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH IN BREVARD COUNTY.
IT'S NEW AND GOOD INFORMATION FOR ME.
I APPRECIATE IT, SIR. AND I'LL LOOK.
I'LL LOOK INTO IT. MR SUZANNE.
NO, SIR. SO. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.
I'M CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING, ASKING FOR A MOTION.
[03:55:01]
SO MOVED. SECOND.GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
HEY. OKAY? YES, SIR. CAN YOU HEAR ME? YEAH, I CAN HEAR YOU NOW.
OKAY, I'M CALLING THE QUESTION.
DID YOU WANT TO. DID YOU WANT TO COMMENT ON ITEM NUMBER 15? YEAH, I DON'T NEED TO COMMENT.
OKAY. I GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
ALL IN FAVOR. SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
AYE. IS THAT AN EYE FOR YOU, SIR? YES, SIR. ALL RIGHT.
WE ARE NOW ON ITEM 16, ORDINANCE 2023, DASH 35, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, TITLE 17 LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE CHAPTER 185 ZONING CODE.
I'M GONNA OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING.
MADAM SHERMAN. YOU WANT TO TOSS IT OR I'LL TAKE IT REAL QUICK.
THANK YOU, SIR. SO THIS ITEM ACTUALLY YOU ALL HEARD BACK IN APRIL AND WE HAD AN OVERSIGHT WITH SOME OF THE TEXTUAL CHANGES NOT ACTUALLY BEING IN THE ORDINANCE THAT YOU OFFICIALLY ADOPTED.
SO THIS IS THE SAME ITEM WITH NO NEW CHANGES JUST COMING BACK THROUGH AT THIS MEETING AND THE FIRST MEETING IN JULY FOR YOUR RECONSIDERATION WITH EVERYTHING ADDED IN, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO, NO QUESTIONS.
I APPRECIATE I APPRECIATE US CATCHING IT.
AND JUST FOR THE AUDIENCE, JUST TO REEMPHASIZE FROM PREVIOUSLY, THIS IS JUST TO MAKE IT WHERE SELF STORAGE FACILITIES ARE ALLOWED AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND HEAVY INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS, AS WELL AS MAKING GENERAL COMMERCIAL A CONDITIONAL USE WHILE MAKING SURE WE HAVE, LIKE WE SPOKE ABOUT EARLIER, MAYOR, EYE PLEASING VISUALS, YOU KNOW, NOT ESTHETIC.
THANK YOU. I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO TRY TO REPEAT THAT.
UM, IT'S LATE, BUT THAT'S ALL THIS IS.
THANK YOU, SIR. ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? VALENTINO. WAS THAT YOU? DID YOU RAISE YOUR HAND? YOU WANTED TO. SEEING NONE.
I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK FOR A MOTION.
SO MOVED. SECOND, GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
ANY COMMENTS? NO, SIR. ALL IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE? AYE. PASSES FOUR ZERO, MA'AM.
ITEM 17 MADAM SMITH ORDINANCE 20 2336 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES TITLE 17.
LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE CHAPTER 183 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REGULATIONS CREATING A NEW SUBCHAPTER V TITLED TITLED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT.
I'M GONNA OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING, MADAM SHERMAN.
SO IT PROVIDES CONNECTION TO FLORIDA STATUTES AND ALSO ADDS SOME ADDITIONAL MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS AND HOW WE WILL HANDLE THE DETAILS OF THIS IN THE FUTURE.
SO IT JUST REALLY FORMALIZES OUR PROCESS A BIT FURTHER.
THANK YOU, MA'AM. ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF COUNCIL? ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? PLEASE STEP FORWARD, MASTER CHIEF.
BILL BATTEN 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET SOUTHWEST.
THIS IS WHAT WE'VE NEEDED ALL ALONG WAS THIS PROCESS.
IT'S A GREAT TOOL FOR THE CITY COUNCIL.
HOWEVER, IT IS TOO VAGUE ON THE CRITERIA.
IT COULD BE ABUSED, WAIVED FOR SOME AND MAXIMUM IMPACT FOR OTHERS.
IT DIDN'T GIVE YOU GUIDELINES OF WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR OR WHAT DEVELOPERS WERE LOOKING AT.
NOW, THAT BEING SAID, I UNDERSTAND AT LEAST IT'S IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION BECAUSE WHAT YOU WERE DOING WITH JUST EVEN TONIGHT DURING COUNCIL CHAMBERS, THAT WAS NEGOTIATION, THAT WAS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS.
I FIND IT STRANGE, THOUGH, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS NOT EVEN DONE YET.
[04:00:06]
WE ARE PROPOSING MODIFICATIONS.THAT'S WHY WE CALL IT A LIVING DOCUMENT.
THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? MADAM. DID YOU WANT TO? MADAM SHERMAN, DO YOU WANT TO COMMENT ON THE VAGUENESS OF OF THE ORDINANCE? WE'RE FOLLOWING STATE STATUTE.
YOU INTENTIONALLY KEEP IT OPEN SO THAT YOU CAN NEGOTIATE BASED ON THE DETAILS OF THE SITUATION.
THANK YOU. YOU DON'T WANT TO GET HANDCUFFED.
ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, I'M CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASKING FOR A MOTION.
SO MOVED. SECOND, GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN OR DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
ANY COMMENTS? NO, SIR. SEEING NONE.
ALL IN FAVOR. SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
I'M GOING TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING AND AND HAVE MISS SHERMAN PRESENT THIS.

IT'S CURRENTLY BUDGETED AT 95,000.
THE THIRD AMENDMENT IS PURCHASE OF GOLF CARTS.

WE ARE NOW ON ITEM 19, MADAM SMITH.
RESOLUTION 20 2317, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA IDENTIFIES CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE CITY, WHICH MAY BE USED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAMS IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY, PROVIDING A SURPLUS PROPERTY DETERMINATION AND DISPOSITION OF SAID PROPERTY FOR THE BENEFIT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
I'M GOING TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK MISS SHERMAN TO PRESENT THIS.
THANK YOU, MAYOR. I'LL HAVE NANCY HANDLE THIS ONE AS WELL.
THIS IS JUST A RESOLUTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH FLORIDA STATUTES SECTION 166 .045 ADMITTING IDENTIFYING ANY PROPERTY THE CITY OWNS THAT COULD BE USED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
AND SO WITHIN THE STATUTE, THERE ARE SEVERAL OPTIONS.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK ON THIS, MA'AM.
ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM?
[04:05:01]
STEP FORWARD, SIR.MASTER CHIEF BATTEN. BILL BATTEN, 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET SOUTHWEST.
YOU'VE MADE THE LIST, BUT NO DECISION ON WHAT YOU WERE ACTUALLY GOING TO DO WITH THE HOUSE.
THAT WASN'T ENOUGH FOR US TO REVIEW, RIGHT? ME BEING A PERSON WHO WATCHES HISTORY AND SOME THINGS I DON'T WANT TO REPEAT.
RIGHT. LET'S NOT HAVE A REPEAT OF SPACE COAST PARATROOPERS, HOMES FOR WARRIORS WITH LAND THAT THE CITY DONATED, DONATED TO A NONPROFIT. THEY DONATED IT TO THEM.
AND SOME PEOPLE WALKED AWAY WITH A LOT OF MONEY WHEN THEY GOT OUT OF IT.
I THINK THIS IS THIS IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT WITH THE STATE STATUTE, THE REQUIREMENTS.
MADAM SHERMAN, CAN YOU TOUCH A LITTLE BIT ON THAT OR DO YOU WANT TO ANSWER? I WOULD DEFER TO NANCY FOR THE DETAILS IF YOU'D LIKE HER TO GET INTO THAT.
NANCY, CAN YOU COVER A LITTLE BIT ON THE NONPROFIT AND YOU KNOW, WHAT TYPE OF NONPROFIT CAN.
AND THIS IS JUST DESIGNATING THE PROPERTY.
AND THIS WE'RE JUST COMPLYING WITH THE FLORIDA STATUTES.
SO SO ANY OF THESE PROPERTIES WOULD COME BACK TO YOU IF WE WERE TO DO ANYTHING WITH THEM? THANK YOU. OKAY.
ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? YES, SIR. STEP. STEP UP.
ROBERT STACE 1796 WOODBROOK DRIVE SOUTHEAST.
I NEVER HAD AN ANSWER BEFORE, BUT MAYBE COUNCIL CAN EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHAT IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WE HAD WE HAD PROPOSED CONDOS OR APARTMENTS GOING UP THAT WERE DENIED OFF OF MALABAR ROAD AND BABCOCK STREET.
AND I THINK I REMEMBER A ONE BEDROOM WAS GOING FOR $1,760 A MONTH.
NOW THAT'S PROBABLY HAVE GONE ON NOW, WHAT IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING? CAN SOMEBODY GIVE ME SOME ANSWER ON THAT?
[7. Consideration of submitting a grant application to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s 319(h) program to fund recommended improvements as outlined in the Turkey Creek Restoration Feasibility Study.]
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.AFFORDABLE MEANS A MONTHLY RENT, INCLUDING TAXES, INSURANCE AND UTILITIES.
UTILITIES DO NOT EXCEED 30% OF THEIR OF THEIR CLIENT'S GROSS ANNUAL INCOME.
THANK YOU, MA'AM. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE. I'M CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASKING FOR A MOTION SO MOVED.
AGENDA ITEM SIX, SEVEN, NINE AND 13.
DOES COUNCIL WISH TO PULL ANY ADDITIONAL ITEMS? SEEING NONE. I NEED A MOTION.
MOTION TO APPROVE CONSENT AGENDA WITH THE EXCEPTION OF AGENDA ITEM SIX, SEVEN, NINE AND 13.
SECOND. SECOND, I GOT A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
JOHNSON. ANY DISCUSSION, GENTLEMEN? SEEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR.
GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
RANDALL OLSZEWSKI 348 BRICK STREET, NORTHEAST.
I DRAW ATTENTION TO CONSENT ITEM NUMBER SIX, WHICH IS A CHANGE ORDER FOR $658,454.
[04:10:03]
ONE. SO THE PROJECT ITSELF COSTS THAT SECTION OF PROJECT, I BELIEVE, GOING OFF MEMORY THREE AND SOME CHANGE MILLION DOLLARS.BUT WHAT I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT HERE IS THAT THIS CHANGE ORDER IS PREMISED IN WHAT I'M INTERPRETING BY THE STAFF REPORT AS A LACK OF THOROUGH RESEARCH AHEAD OF PLANNING FOR THIS PARTICULAR IMPROVEMENT.
ADDITIONALLY, THE ISSUE THAT'S COME ABOUT IS AN ABUNDANCE OF ASPHALT IN THESE PARTICULAR AREAS.
I FEEL AS THOUGH THAT'S BECAUSE PORT MALABAR BOULEVARD HAS BEEN PRIORITIZED MANY TIMES OVER WHEN THE CITY ACTUALLY WAS INTERESTED IN REPAVING ROADS WHERE AS OPPOSED TO OTHER ROADS WHEN ABANDONED.
I BRING ATTENTION TO THIS CONSENT AGENDA ITEM BECAUSE CONSENT AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 20, WHICH I SUPPOSE I COULD HAVE BROUGHT SOME ATTENTION TO AS WELL, HIGHLIGHTS THAT THIS THIS PROJECT, THIS PROGRAM OF GO ROAD BONDS IS BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL TO THE TUNE OF $65 MILLION.
AND NOW WE HAVE A CHANGE ORDER HERE OF AN ADDITIONAL 658,000 FOR A PARTICULARLY PAINFUL CORRIDOR FOR THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE I WILL HIGHLIGHT WITHIN TALKING ABOUT THIS CHANGE ORDER, WITHIN TALKING ABOUT THIS SECTION OF ROAD, HOW MY PERSONAL OPINION IS THAT THE CITY DID NOT COMMUNICATE WELL WITH THE RESIDENTS OF THAT AREA BECAUSE PERCEPTION IS REALITY.
AND AS THAT PROJECT CONTINUES TO EVOLVE AND CONTINUES TO SLOWLY COME TO COMPLETION, THE RESIDENTS IN THAT AREA ARE VERY, VERY UPSET WITH THEIR INABILITY TO NAVIGATE THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE HAVE TO ADD A MILL AND SOME CHANGE TO OUR PROPERTY TAX ASSESSMENTS YEAR IN, YEAR OUT.
WHEN WE TAKE THE ADDITIONAL 50 MILLION, HOW MUCH MORE WILL THAT DEBT SERVICE INCREASE? WILL WE GET TO THE POINT OF BEING TWO MILL SPECIFIC FOR DEBT SERVICE AT THAT? HOW LONG ARE WE ANTICIPATED TO SERVICE THAT DEBT ON OUR PROPERTY TAX BILLS? AND LASTLY, WHAT'S THE GAME PLAN FOR THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING THAT'S GOING TO BE NEEDED? BECAUSE THE PROJECT IS ALREADY FORECASTED BEHIND $66 MILLION BY THE TIME IT GETS TO PHASE FIVE, WHICH HAPPENS TO BE WHERE I LIVE, BUT I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO GET TO PHASE FIVE, IT'S GOING TO BE PLUMB OUT OF MONEY.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO TO FINISH THE GO ROAD BOND PROJECT AND THE MULTI MILLION DOLLARS THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED HERE IN ADDITION TO THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT WE NEED FOR MANY DIFFERENT ROAD PROJECTS WIDENING MALABAR, WIDENING SAINT JOHNS, THE LIKE.
SO HOPEFULLY THOSE QUESTIONS CAN BE ANSWERED.
AND ANY OTHER SPEAKER CARDS ON THIS ITEM? NO, SIR. MADAM SHERMAN, YOU WANT TO ADDRESS A FEW OF THOSE? I'LL ADDRESS PARTS OF THAT.
SO I CAN'T OFFHAND GIVE YOU WHAT THE MILLAGE RATE WILL BE WHEN WE DO THE THIRD DRAW, IN PART BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TIMING WOULD BE AND WHAT OUR CURRENT, UM, OUR TAX BASE WOULD LOOK LIKE AT THAT MOMENT.
BUT THERE'S, THERE'S DEFINITELY GOING TO BE OBVIOUSLY AN INCREASE THERE.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON DIFFERENT STRATEGIES SINCE OUR WORKSHOP WITH COUNCIL.
[9. Consideration of submitting a grant application for the Fiscal Year 2023/2024 Tourism Development Council (TDC) Cultural Support Grant Program for multiple City events.]
AND WE HAD A LOT OF, I THINK, REALLY GOOD IDEAS THAT CAME OUT OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS TO TRY TO REDUCE COSTS ON FUTURE BONDS EXCUSE ME, ON FUTURE ROAD BOND PROJECTS WHILE STILL PROVIDING QUALITY ROADS, WHICH IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THIS FOR US.I DO NOT HAVE THE ANSWER YET, ALTHOUGH OBVIOUSLY WE'RE WORKING TOWARD THAT, WHICH IS WHEN WE GET TO THE END AND WE'VE DONE ALL WE CAN TO REDUCE THE COSTS OF THE OF THE PROJECTS AND WE SEE WHERE WE'RE AT.
WE DON'T HAVE A GOOD FUNDING STRATEGY YET.
OBVIOUSLY, ROAD MAINTENANCE FUND IS IMPORTANT FOR FUTURE UPKEEP.
SO THE HOPE, OBVIOUSLY, AND I DON'T LIKE TO PLAN SOMETHING THIS BIG ON A HOPE, BUT THE HOPE IS THAT THERE WILL BE SOME GOOD ADDITIONAL BENEFIT THAT WE GAIN FROM THE CHANGES WE'RE GOING TO MAKE TO FUTURE SCOPES AS WE BID THESE PROJECTS OUT.
BUT WE HAVE WE HAVE AN UPHILL BATTLE RIGHT NOW TO FIGURE THAT OUT.
SO I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT, BUT WE ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND WE'RE WORKING ON IT.
SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
ALL IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
ITEM SEVEN DEPUTY MAYOR, MR. OLSZEWSKI. GOOD EVENING, MR.
[04:15:04]
MAYOR. GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL RANDALL OLSZEWSKI 348 BROOK STREET, NORTHEAST.ITEM NUMBER SEVEN AND ITEM NUMBER EIGHT SEEM TO BE RELATIVELY RELATED TO ME IN THAT THEY'RE DIRECT ACTIONS BEING TAKEN NOW THAT THE THE CONSULTANT, IF YOU WILL, GAVE US A PLAN OF, HEY, THESE ARE SOME ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE TO FIX UP THE TURKEY CREEK, LET'S DO THEM.
HERE'S TWO THINGS TOWARDS DOING THEM.
SO I CHOSE NUMBER SEVEN TO TO TO BRING AND TO HIGHLIGHT.
BUT THE POINT REALLY GOES TO NUMBER EIGHT AS WELL, THAT IT'S MY STRONG ASSERTION.
EACH ONE OF THESE THESE PROJECTS COMES CLOSE TO $1 MILLION AND THERE'S A HANDFUL OF THEM.
AND IT'S MY ASSERTION THAT AS FAR AS EACH ONE OF THEM IS INTENDED TO IMPROVE WATER QUALITY, I FEEL THAT WE NEED TO HAVE A ROBUST PROCESS TO CONSISTENTLY TEST WATER QUALITY BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THESE PROJECTS IN PERPETUITY.
QUITE FRANKLY, A PROPOSITION THAT I HAVE IS MY THOUGHT PROCESS.
WE HAVE PLENTY OF RESIDENTS WHO HAVE WATERBORNE TOYS AND ADVENTURE TYPE VEHICLES, MYSELF INCLUDED.
I WOULD BE THE FIRST IN LINE TO VOLUNTEER.
YOU GIVE ME A DESIGNATED AREA, YOU TELL ME HOW MANY TIMES A MONTH YOU NEED ME AND MY DAUGHTER TO VENTURE BACK INTO THE MEANDERING CREEK AND GET SOME MUCK SAMPLES FOR YOU? I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO THAT.
THEN WE'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION THAT IS FIT, AND THERE'S FOLKS THERE THAT ARE STUDYING BIOLOGY ON TINIER MOLECULAR LEVELS THAN I CAN EVEN COMPREHEND. NOW, I'M SURE WITHIN THOSE PROGRAMS THERE'D BE SOME STUDENTS THAT WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO GET SOME VOLUNTEER HOURS AND BE AN INTERN FOR US OR WHAT HAVE YOU, THAT IF WE COULD GET MUCK AND WATER TO THEM, THAT THEY COULD SCIENTIFICALLY CHECK IT OUT FOR US AND LET US KNOW IF THESE PROJECTS ARE, YOU KNOW, GIVEN THE BENEFIT THAT WE'RE
[13. Consideration of designating two (2) City-owned single-family residential lots as surplus property and donating said lots for an affordable housing development.]
LOOKING FOR OR NOT.SO I HOPE TO SAY THIS OUT HERE IN A PUBLIC ENVIRONMENT TO PLANT THE SEED, I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO TO BE A LEADER WITHIN MY COMMUNITY AND WITHIN MY NEIGHBORS TO TO TO WORK WITH STAFF TO DEVELOP SUCH A PROGRAM.
BUT I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE CONSISTENT SAMPLING OF THE WATER AND AS DEEP DOWN AS WE CAN REACH THE MUCK AND THEREFORE THE NUTRIENT DENSITY THAT IS IN THE TURKEY CREEK, IF WE ARE GOING TO ENDEAVOR TO ASK WHETHER IT'S THE STATE OR THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT FOR SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF MONEY, THE PROJECTS ARE NECESSARY, THEY'RE NEEDED.
BUT IF WE'RE NOT MONITORING THE PROGRESS OF THEIR EFFICIENCY OR EFFECTIVENESS, I FEEL AS THOUGH THERE'S A CHANCE THAT WE MAY DO SOME THINGS THAT WORK BETTER THAN OTHERS, OR WE MIGHT GO DOWN A RABBIT HOLE THAT WE THINK IS WORKING AND SPEND A BUNCH OF MONEY AND THEN REALIZE, MAN, WOULDN'T WE BE BETTER SUITED? SO I THINK WE SHOULD TEST AS WE GO.
SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
THANK YOU. I SEE NANCY NODDING HER HEAD OR NATALIE.
YES, I WAS LOOKING AT HER, TOO.
YOU WANT TO COME UP OR YOU WANT ME? NATALIE, COME STEP RIGHT UP.
AS YOU WERE. NATALIE, NATALIE CHAMBERS, OUR ENGINEER.
WHO'S THE LEAD ON THIS PROJECT? GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.
AND MADAM SHERMAN AND MADAM PATRICIA.
AND SO I WANT TO THANK MR. LEBOWSKI FOR HIS OBSERVATIONS.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, WRITTEN INTO THOSE GRANTS ARE CONDITIONS THAT REQUIRE CONTINUOUS MONITORING.
SO THAT IS A PLAN GOING FORWARD FOR EVERY SINGLE PROJECT.
AND BEAR IN MIND, MANY OF THESE PROJECTS ARE MISSED OPPORTUNITIES IN A SENSE.
THESE ARE EXISTING BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES THAT I'M SO SORRY THAT MAY HAVE MISSED THE MARK TO SOME EXTENT OR MAY REQUIRE SOME MAINTENANCE THAT PERHAPS, YOU KNOW, WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO OVER THE YEARS. AND WE'RE WE'RE USING THOSE.
[PROCUREMENTS]
UH, ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.AND THOSE PROJECTS ACTUALLY HAVE AND I KNOW YOU LISTEN TO GEOSYNTEC WHEN THEY PRESENTED, THEY HAVE VERY, VERY HIGH COSTS TO REMOVAL RATIOS.
SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE GOOD PROJECTS.
WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE ACTUALLY WE HAVE TO DO BEFORE AND AFTER, RIGHT? WE'RE GOING TO DO MONITORING BEFOREHAND AND AFTER, AND WE WELCOME CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.
[04:20:07]
I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE PART OF THE PLAN AS WELL.WE ALSO WANT THAT NATIONAL CERTIFIED LABS TO DO ANY SORT OF ANALYSIS OF OF EITHER OK OR WATER QUALITY.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
SECOND MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
ALL IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
WE ARE NOW ON ITEM NUMBER NINE.
DEPUTY MAYOR. MR. BATTEN. BILL BATTEN 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET SOUTHWEST.
THIS IS THE TOPIC THAT WAS RELATED TO NEW BUSINESS NUMBER ONE AND TWO.
SO THAT'S WHY I WISH WE WOULD HAVE STAYED WITH CONCEPTS TOO LATE NOW TO GO BACK THERE.
THAT'S WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE, RIGHT?
[UNFINISHED AND OLD BUSINESS]
USE THIS FUND TO OFFSET WHAT THE RESIDENTS HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR CO-SPONSORSHIP OF SPECIAL FUNCTIONS.THAT'S WHAT THIS FUND COULD BE USED FOR RIGHT NOW.
I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT THAT STILL COULD BE $20,000.
IT DID NOT COME OUT OF MY GENERAL FUND BUDGET FOR SALARIES.
RIGHT. THE OTHER ITEM I DON'T WANT TO SEE ON THIS IS THAT WE DO NOT USE ANY OF THIS MONEY TO ADVERTISE OVERSEAS. FOR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS HERE.
[NEW BUSINESS (Part 2 of 2)]
OVERSEAS FOR THEIR TO THEM.FOR A NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION IF THAT'S WHAT YOU SPIN IT ON.
I DON'T MIND JUST SPENDING IT TO PROMOTE PALM BAY, BUT DON'T USE IT TO PROMOTE A NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION BECAUSE MOST NON PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS I KNOW MAKE A PROFIT.
THANK YOU. UM, WOULD YOU WANT TO RESPOND TO THAT? UM. THANK YOU, MISS JULIET.
WE NEED TO CHECK THAT SOUND SYSTEM.
I'M JULIETTE MOSCONI, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER.
THIS GRANT IS FROM THE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL.
IT IS A GRANT THAT HAS NO MATCHING REQUIREMENT FOR THE CITY.
BUT THERE ARE TWO GRANT STIPULATIONS.
ONE IS THAT 50% OF THE GRANT VALUE MUST BE SPENT ON ADVERTISING OUT OF THE COUNTY.
AND THE OTHER REQUIREMENT IS THAT THE EVENTS MUST HAVE A MINIMUM OF A 1000 OUT OF COUNTY PARTICIPANTS IN ORDER TO EVEN QUALIFY TO APPLY FOR THE GRANT. THE CITY WAS NOTIFIED THAT WE DO QUALIFY WITH THE THREE EVENTS WE'VE SELECTED THE INDEPENDENCE DAY FESTIVAL, HOLIDAY LIGHT PARADE AND MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL.
SO THE INTENT IS TO USE THESE GRANT FUNDS TO OFFSET THE COSTS OF SOME OF OUR EVENTS AND FOCUS OUR GRANT DOLLARS ON THE EVENTS THAT OUR CITY SPONSORED AND HOW. HOW IS THE TDC FUNDED? THE TDC IS FUNDED FROM THE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT TAX THAT COMES FROM HOTEL STAYS, AND THERE ARE MANY FLORIDA STATUTE REQUIREMENTS THAT STIPULATE WHAT THOSE GRANTS CAN BE.
I'M SORRY, WHAT THAT TAX DOLLARS CAN BE USED FOR.
THANK YOU, MA'AM. I THINK YOU ANSWERED ALL THE QUESTIONS.
I HAVE MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
MR. BATTEN. BILL BATTEN, 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET SOUTHWEST.
[COMMITTEE AND COUNCIL REPORTS]
FOR THIS IDENTITY, MY TAX DOLLARS ALREADY AWARDED.$857,326. ON TOP OF THAT, WHERE MY TAX DOLLARS ARE ALSO GOING TO
[04:25:03]
HELP TOWARDS DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE.ON TOP OF THAT, $28,000 FOR THE LAND.
ON TOP OF THAT, AN ADDITIONAL $4,700 TO WORK ON THE LIEN THAT'S CURRENTLY ON THIS LAND.
MY QUESTION IS, HOW MUCH DOES THE ADMINISTRATION OF HOPE MAKE OUT OF THIS SWEETHEART DEAL? HOW MUCH ARE WE PAYING TOWARDS THE ADMINISTRATION? THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
ANY OTHER SPEAKER CARDS? NO, SIR. I NEED A MOTION.
SO MOVED. GOT A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
GOT A SECOND? BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON.
I'VE. THE ONLY REASON WHY, MAYOR, I WOULD LIKE MR. BENTON'S QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
YEAH, WELL. I'LL ASK NANCY TO COME BACK UP.
GOOD EVENING. TYPICALLY, THE DEVELOPMENT FEE IS BASED ON DIFFERENT FACTORS.
FOR THIS. SPECIFICALLY, IT'S 11% OF THE DEVELOPMENT.
SO THE HOMES ARE GOING TO BE SELLING FOR ABOUT $300,000.
SO THEY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SELL THEM FOR MORE.
SO I GOT A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON.
ALL IN FAVOR. SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
WE ARE NOW ON ITEM NUMBER ONE OF PROCUREMENT.
MADAM SHERMAN. THANK YOU, MAYOR.
I'M GOING TO HAVE JULIET MOSCONI GIVE A QUICK HIGHLIGHT OF THIS ITEM FOR US REAL QUICK.
OH, PERFECT. JULIET MOSCONI, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER.
HE DID THE SOLICITATION, BUT THE REASON THAT THIS IS ON AS AN AGENDA REVISION IS BECAUSE IT IS FUNDED FROM CDBG FUNDS SIMILAR TO WHAT MISS BUNT SPOKE ABOUT EARLIER. THEY HAVE A GRANT EXPIRATION TIME FRAME BECAUSE THIS IS THE LAST MEETING BEFORE YOU RECESS IN JUNE.
WE ARE ASKING FOR YOU TO AWARD THE LOW BIDDER.
HOWEVER, STAFF HAS ALREADY SCHEDULED A MEETING ON FRIDAY FOR THIS BIDDER TO REVIEW THE FEDERAL PROCUREMENT REQUIREMENTS AND ENSURE THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIVE AND RESPONSIBLE TO PERFORM THE WORK.
IF THERE ARE ANY CONCERNS, WE'RE ASKING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SECOND LOW BIDDER AT STAFF'S ADMINISTRATIVE LEVEL, I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR MR. BARBER. ANY QUESTIONS? NO. NO, SIR.
ANY QUESTIONS, SIR? ANY SPEAKER CARDS ON THIS ITEM? NO. PROCUREMENT ITEM NUMBER ONE.
GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
ALL IN FAVOR. SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
WE ARE NOW ON UNFINISHED AND OLD BUSINESS.
SO I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO APPOINT THE FOLLOWING THREE INDIVIDUALS TO THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY BOARD. NUMBER ONE IS CHRISTINA WRIGHT TO THE EMPLOYER WITHIN THE CITY POSITION.
AS THE ESSENTIAL SERVICES PERSONNEL POSITION.
SO THE REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL POSITION.
SECOND, I GOT A MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON DEPUTY MAYOR.
THEY. THEY CURRENTLY SERVE NOW, RIGHT? THOSE. THOSE SAME.
THEY REAPPLIED. THEY REAPPLIED.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT, SO I GOT A MOTION AND A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR. SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
THANK YOU, MAYOR. AS COUNCIL WILL RECALL FROM LAST YEAR'S PRESENTATION ON PUBLIC SAFETY, WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT IMPACT FEES AND THEIR STATUS, AND WE SHARED THAT THIS YEAR WE'D BE COMING FORWARD WITH SOME REQUESTS TO UPDATE THE IMPACT FEES, SPECIFICALLY TRANSPORTATION.
TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEES WERE LAST UPDATED IN 2012.
[04:30:09]
IDENTIFY THE VENDORS.IT APPEARS WE WILL NEED TWO DIFFERENT VENDORS TO COMPLETE THIS PROCESS.
AND IF ALL GOES ACCORDING, ACCORDING TO THE SCHEDULE, WE ANTICIPATE THESE PROPOSALS FOR IMPACT FEE CHANGES, IF WARRANTED, WOULD COME BACK TO YOU SOMETIME IN JANUARY OR FEBRUARY OF NEXT YEAR.
DEPUTY MAYOR. SPEAKER CARDS ON THIS ONE.
SECOND, GOT A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX.
ALL IN FAVOR. SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
THANK YOU, MAYOR. YES, WE HAVE A SECTION OF ROADWAY THAT IS, IT'S EMERSON IN THE LONGMONT AREA THAT WAS IDENTIFIED BY A STUDY DONE FOR THE SPACE COAST TPO THAT NEEDS SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS FOR PEDESTRIANS.
SO WE'VE IDENTIFIED THE POTENTIAL TO APPLY FOR A FEDERAL DOT GRANT FOR A SIGNIFICANT SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT THAT WOULD EXTEND FROM FRED LEE PARK ALL THE WAY, ALL THE WAY TO BASICALLY LAMAR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
THIS ITEM IS TO REQUEST PERMISSION TO APPLY FOR THE GRANT, BUT ALSO TO SET ASIDE IF WE WERE TO BE AWARDED THIS GRANT, TO SET ASIDE THE MATCH FROM GENERAL FUND UNDESIGNATED FUND BALANCE.
IT'S A $2 MILLION TOTAL PROJECT.
SO THE THE MATCH IS 20% OR $400,000.
THANK YOU, MA'AM. ANY SPEAKER CARDS ON THIS ONE? DEPUTY MAYOR? NO, SIR.
DEPUTY MAYOR FELIX ANY DISCUSSION, GENTLEMEN.
WE ARE NOW ON COUNCIL REPORTS.
COUNCILMAN. FOSTER. ANYTHING TO REPORT, SIR? YEAH. I'M GOING TO GET OFF THE PHONE.
THIS MORNING AND MY ENERGY LEVEL IS GONE.
GOOD EVENING, MR. JOHNSON. YES, MAYOR.
BUT I FEEL THE GREATER PALM BAY SENIOR CENTER COULD ALSO BE UTILIZED FOR YOUTH AS WELL.
UM, SO I'VE TALKED TO STAFF ABOUT IT.
I THINK THIS IS A PRIME LOCATION, AN AREA WHERE WE CAN START IMPLEMENTING SOME THINGS FOR THE YOUTH.
WELL, THANK YOU FOR THAT INITIATIVE.
SO I THINK THAT THAT'S A GREAT, GREAT IDEA.
WISH EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW, A GREAT SUMMERTIME, ESPECIALLY THE STUDENTS STAFF AS WELL TAKE THAT TIME TO DO SOME YOU KNOW SOME SPEND SOME VACATIONS AND DO SOMETHING NICE WITH WITH FOR A FAMILY, UM, AS WELL.
SO WITH MY COLLEAGUES, I KNOW IT'S JUST TWO MEETINGS FOR US, BUT MORE STAFF WILL BENEFIT FROM THAT.
I'M GLAD THAT CAME TO FLOURISH.
THANK YOU. AND ON THAT NOTE, I JUST WANT TO WANT US TO REMIND OR REMIND OURSELVES THAT THIS MONTH, NOT ONLY IS IT NATIONAL POLICE FORCES DAY IN MAY, WE CELEBRATE, BUT IT'S SOMETHING CRITICAL THAT WE HAVE TO REMEMBER.
AND AND THIS REPUBLIC WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STAND IF NOT FOR THE BLOOD THAT WAS SHED BY THESE MEN AND WOMEN IN COMBAT AND THROUGHOUT THROUGHOUT OUR NATION'S HISTORY.
SO ON MEMORIAL DAY, IT'S JUST NOT ABOUT GRILLING.
[04:35:09]
HOLIDAY. I ALSO WANTED TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO TO JUST SEE IF COUNCIL WOULD AGREE WITH ME TO HAVE STAFF LOOK INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF PARTNERING WITH EITHER THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF VETERAN AFFAIRS OR BREVARD COUNTY TO TO SEE IF WE CAN HAVE A VETERAN SERVICE OFFICER HERE WITHIN THE CITY.[PUBLIC COMMENTS/RESPONSES]
AND THAT PARTNERSHIP COULD LOOK ANYTHING LIKE JUST OFFICE SPACE SO THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE A SERVICE FOR OUR VETERANS.THAT NEED ASSISTANCE IN FILING CLAIM.
FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW.
VETERANS MAY QUALIFY FOR A SERVICE CONNECTED CONNECTED DISABILITY, WHICH MEANS THEY SUFFERED SOMETHING DURING THEIR SERVICE AND AND IN THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERAN AFFAIRS COMPENSATES THEM ON A DIFFERENT RATING, ANYWHERE FROM 0 TO 100%.
AND PART OF THAT WOULD HELP OUR NOT ONLY OUR LOCAL ECONOMY, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT VETERANS STRUGGLE WITH IN PUTTING CLAIMS IN IN OTHER WORDS, INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE VETERAN SERVICE OFFICERS, THEY GET CERTIFIED ONCE A YEAR ON A CONTINUAL BASIS TO FILE CLAIMS FOR VETERANS AND THEIR SURVIVORS AND THEIR SPOUSES.
AND THAT IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE IF YOU EVER NEED TO NAVIGATE THE QUAGMIRE OF THAT HUGE BUREAUCRACY, IT IS REALLY UNBELIEVABLE.
SO THERE ARE VETERANS THAT THEY DO APPLY THEMSELVES AND YOU FIND YOURSELF THAT YOU NEED ASSISTANCE.
AND SOMETIMES IT COMES IN AN APPELLATE.
WE DID THAT ONCE BEFORE AND FOR POLITICAL REASONS IT WAS TAKEN AWAY.
SO I WANTED TO SEE IF WE COULD HAVE STAFF EXPLORE THAT AND I WANTED TO GET YOUR FEEDBACK ON THAT.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT AND DEFINITELY THE HISTORY OF IT PREVIOUSLY.
YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S WELL, THE PRIOR THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION.
THE PRIOR RELATIONSHIP WE THE WHERE THE VETERANS PARK WAS OR IS THERE WAS A FACILITY THERE THAT THE VETERANS SERVICE OFFICER HIS NAME WAS HIS NAME ESCAPES ME TODAY DONALD OVERTON WHICH BY THE WAY HE WAS DON OVERTON TESTIFIED BEFORE THE US CONGRESS, THE HOUSE OF VETERAN THE HVAC.
AND, AND ALSO WE, WE PROVIDED THAT.
SO IT WAS A SPLIT OF 50 OVER 50.
SO WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? IN SUPPORT OF EXPLORING THE IDEA AS WELL.
I THINK IT COULD BE VERY BENEFICIAL TO TO THE OVER 9000 VETERANS WE HAVE WITHIN THE CITY.
SO I THINK IT'S IT'S A IT'S A COMMUNITY THAT.
VERY DESERVING OF OF OF THAT SERVICE.
I APPRECIATE THAT. COUNCILMAN.
AS YOU WERE. I MEAN, HE SIGNED OFF AS YOU WERE.
ALL RIGHT, SO WE DO HAVE CONSENSUS.
I HAVE COUNCILMAN COUNCILMAN, JOHNSON AND DEPUTY MAYOR.
MA'AM, IF YOU COULD SOMEHOW START THOSE DISCUSSIONS THAT I REALLY WOULD APPRECIATE THAT.
THEN SECONDLY, I WANTED TO SHARE I DID SHARE ABOUT MEMORIAL DAY, BUT I WANTED TO SHARE THE SUCCESS THAT THAT THAT WE HAVE AS AS A TEAM HERE IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY. AND I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
EVERY APPROPRIATION REQUEST THAT WE PUT FORWARD THROUGH SUNRISE, OUR LOBBYISTS, THROUGH THE HARD WORK OF OUR STAFF, THROUGH THE HARD WORK OF EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US.
I WAS REALLY QUITE PLEASED TO KNOW THAT THAT MADE THE APPROPRIATIONS.
NOW ALL WE'RE WAITING ON IS THE GOVERNOR TO SIGN.
BUT I AM HOPEFUL AND I GOT TO THANK SENATOR MAYFIELD.
I'M GOING TO CALL THEM BY NAME.
[04:40:02]
I'M GOING TO THANK SENATOR MAYFIELD, THAD ALTMAN.I'M GOING TO THANK TYLER SEROY, THE WHOLE DELEGATION.
I'M GOING TO THANK REPRESENTATIVE FINE, BECAUSE IF YOU UNDERSTAND THE WAY THIS WORKS, HE HE MIGHT HAVE PULLED IT, LIKE WE ALL KNOW, BUT HE DIDN'T FIGHT AGAINST OUR REQUEST.
AND THAT WAS HUGE WHEN IT CAME TO BUILDING THOSE RELATIONSHIPS OUT THERE.
SO I WANT TO THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM.
WHEN THE TIME COMES, I HOPE WE FIND OUT THAT THAT SENATOR DOES OR THE CONGRESSMAN DOES OR THE GOVERNOR, GOVERNOR THE GOVERNOR SIGNS THAT WE IT'S GOING TO BE CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION FOR EVERYONE BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BATTING A THOUSAND.
AND SO I'M GOING TO END RIGHT THERE.
I AM EXHAUSTED. SO IS EVERYONE ELSE.
THANK YOU, MAYOR. I HAVE TWO ITEMS. ONE IS JUST A REMINDER FOR THOSE WHO MAY BE LISTENING THAT THIS SATURDAY, MAY 20TH, IS KIDS TO PARKS DAY IN THE CITY.
A LOT OF FUN AND VERY CREATIVE IDEAS THAT THEY CAME UP WITH.
THE OTHER THING IS, I GOT AN EMAIL THIS AFTERNOON THAT IS SOME GOOD NEWS REGARDING US GETTING SOME ATTENTION FROM DOT ON OUR REQUEST REGARDING THE MALABAR 95.
UM, INTERCHANGE AND THE ISSUES WE'VE HAD IN THAT CORRIDOR.
SO IT IS OFFICIALLY WE WERE NOTIFIED THAT IT IS ON THE LIST OF THE TPOS EXCUSE ME, DOT'S PRIORITY PROJECTS TO REVIEW AND DO A PLANNING STUDY FOR THAT PARTICULAR CORRIDOR IN THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.
SO THAT IS STILL GOING THROUGH SOME LEVELS OF APPROVAL.
SO APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S SUPPORT TO GET US THERE.
YEAH, THAT WAS EXCITING BECAUSE AND YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT'S A GREAT SEGWAY FOR ME TO THANK.
WE WENT AND MOVED UP THE PROJECT OUT THERE FOR EMERSON AS WELL IN THAT SAME MOTION, AND I DID.
IT ONLY TAKES THREE MEETINGS, BUT HEY, WE'RE IT'S GETTING DONE.
THANK YOU, MAN, FOR YOUR REPORT, MADAM SMITH NO, SIR.
ANYONE ELSE WISH TO COME SPEAK? YES, SIR. MASTER CHIEF BATTEN.
OH, YOU GOT. YOU GOT. BY BUTCH.
SO YOUR SECOND. BILL BATTEN, 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREET, SOUTHWEST.
FIRST, I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY THE MONTH OF JUNE.
AND AS YOU CAN TELL BY MY COMMENTS, I READ IT.
SO I FIND THESE LITTLE IDIOSYNCRASIES.
BUT THAT MEANS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN ENTIRE THIS WAS ONLY THE SECOND MEETING IN MAY.
THAT MEANS WE HAVE AN ENTIRE MONTH TO BUILD UP OF MORE MEETINGS.
SO I'M CURIOUS TO HOW BIG THE AGENDA PACKET FOR THE FIRST MEETING IN JULY IS GOING TO BE.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, MAY YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD EVENING.
NOW. HE'S GOOD. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK? OKAY. THIS MEETING IS HEREBY ADJOURNED.
