[OLD/UNFINISHED BUSINESS]
THIS. THE APPLICANT IS THE SUNRISE PLAZA ENTERPRISE, INC., AND THEY'RE REPRESENTED BY RICHARD FRANZBLAU.THE LOCATION IS AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF GLEN COVE AVENUE NORTHWEST AND EMERSON DRIVE NORTHWEST.
THE FUTURE LAND USE IS COMMERCIAL, AND THE EXISTING ZONING IS NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL.
THE SITE IS APPROXIMATELY THREE ACRES IN SIZE.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A CONDITIONAL USE TO ALLOW RETAIL, AUTOMOTIVE, GAS AND FUEL SALES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 185 .042 OF THE PALM BAY CODE OF ORDINANCES.
AND THE RECOMMENDATION IS THAT Q 23 00003 MEETS THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE, AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AND STAFF IS AVAILABLE, AND THE APPLICANT IS AVAILABLE IF THE BOARD HAS ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? SEEING NONE WITH THE APPLICANT.
CAN WE CHECK THE PODIUM? THERE'S NO ADJUSTMENT ON THAT ONE.
THIS IS THE ONE THAT THIS ONE'S WORKING.
TWO. THREE. IT'S ON. OKAY, WELL.
THANK YOU. MY NAME IS RICHARD FRANZBLAU.
I'M THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PROPOSED DEVELOPER, SUNRISE PLAZA ENTERPRISES INC.
MR. NAZIM ALI IS THE PRINCIPAL OF SUNRISE PLAZA.
HE IS HERE THIS EVENING, AND IT'S WORKING NOW, SO.
I KNOW I HAVE A LOUD, BOOMING VOICE, BUT I GUESS IT IS.
MR. ASAF KHAN WILL BE THE CONTRACTOR ON THE PROJECT AND HE IS HERE THIS EVENING AS WELL, AND CAN EXPLAIN SOME OF THE CONCEPTUAL NATURE OF THE PROJECT.
IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED BY THE PLANNING BOARD.
AND I NOTICED THERE WAS ONE POINT WHERE THE SETBACK REQUIREMENT IS 25FT, BUT THE CONCEPTUAL PLAN SAID 20FT.
AND THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM FOR US TO COMPLY WITH THAT, THAT REQUIREMENT.
ANY ANYTHING ELSE? THAT'S IT. OKAY.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT, MR. CHAYEFSKY? THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
SO DID YOU MENTION YOU HAVE CONCEPTUAL DRAWINGS WITH YOU? PRESENTATION? YES.
[00:10:02]
THEY'RE RIGHT THERE. THE PART OF IT IS IN YOUR PACKET, I BELIEVE.I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU HAD IT TO DISPLAY TOO, SO THAT THE PUBLIC COULD SEE.
THE QUESTION I HAVE FOR YOU IS, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMPANION SERVICES IN MIND WITH THIS GAS STATION? YOU CAN HAVE LIKE A CAR WASH OR AN OIL CHANGE PLACE OR ANY OF THAT KIND OF STUFF? NO. JUST GASOLINE.
ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE ELECTRIC CHARGING STATIONS CONCEPTUALLY? YEAH. GOTCHA. THEY WILL HAVE.
GOTCHA. BUT IN GENERAL, FUELING STATION, GENERAL STORE, SODA POP, CANDY.
PART OF IT MAY DEPEND ON HOW FAST THE ELECTRIC CHARGING TAKES OFF.
BUT IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'LL JUST CAPITALIZE.
THE OTHER THING IS, HAS THE STAFF TALKED TO YOU AT ALL ABOUT SIDEWALK ON YOUR PROJECT OR NEAR YOUR PROJECT, AND HOW IT'S GOING TO CONNECT TO THE DIFFERENT SIDEWALKS IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD? I BELIEVE THERE ARE SIDEWALKS ON EMERSON AND GLENCOVE.
GOTCHA. SO YOU'LL MATCH UP TO THAT.
UM, THOSE ARE THE QUESTIONS I HAD.
THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU.
SEEING NONE, THE FLOOR IS NOW OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.
IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS REQUEST? ANYONE OPPOSED? YEAH. WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME TO THE PODIUM AND SPEAK? STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
IF YOU SAW THAT PICTURE ON THE MAP, IT'S GOING THE THE PROJECT IS GOING TO BE.
I LIVE ON THE THIRD HOUSE OFF OF KASLO, SO IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE RIGHT BEHIND THE PROJECT.
UM, I'VE GROWN UP, LIVED HERE SINCE 1990, SO I'VE SEEN THE AREA GROW.
THERE'S DISCOVERY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
I WENT TO DISCOVERY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
MY MAIN CONCERN IS HAVING A GAS STATION OR JUST ANYTHING RIGHT THERE.
I WENT TO SIXTH GRADE, FIFTH GRADE.
I WENT THERE MY WHOLE LIFE OR MY WHOLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AND I KNOW HOW KIDS WERE WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL THERE AND KNOWING THAT THERE WOULD BE A GAS STATION WALKING ON MY WAY BACK HOME, OR TO ANY OF THE LITTLE THE HOUSES IN THAT AREA, I KNOW THAT THINGS HAPPEN AT GAS STATIONS, DRUGS, STUFF LIKE THAT, AND I KNOW WHEN I WENT THERE, IF KIDS WERE DOING IT, IT'S GOING TO BE EVEN WORSE WITH THE GAS STATION THERE.
MIGHT NOT THINK ABOUT IT, BUT I KNOW IT WILL HAPPEN.
AND SO THAT'S A CONCERN FOR ME, KNOWING THAT THERE'S BUS STOPS ALL THROUGHOUT GLENCOVE AND ON EMERSON, KIDS WALK EMERSON AND GLENCOVE MORNINGS AND AFTERNOONS.
SO I KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO STOP AT THE GAS STATION OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT WOULD BE THERE.
SO THAT'S A CONCERN FOR ME, ESPECIALLY SINCE I WILL BE IN INHERITED THE HOUSE.
SO MY FUTURE WILL BE IN THAT HOUSE AND I WOULDN'T WANT.
THAT KIND OF AN ACTIVITY WITH JUST GAS STATION IN GENERAL BEING THERE.
IT'S KIND A LOWER PROPERTY VALUE FOR THE HOUSES.
THERE WAS A HOUSE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET THAT JUST SOLD IN IN NOVEMBER.
IT'S GOING TO BE NOT EVEN FACING EMERSON.
IT'S GOING TO BE FACING GLEN COVE.
AND I JUST DON'T WANT THAT FOR MY FUTURE.
SO IN GENERAL, IT'S JUST GOING TO CAUSE A LOT OF GAS POLLUTION IN THE AIR.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TRUCKS DRIVING ALL DAY, ALL THE TIME, ANY TIME OF THE DAY, DAY AND NIGHT.
GAS STATIONS ARE 24 OVER SEVEN.
AND KNOWING THAT AREA, IT'S PRETTY GENERALLY SAFE.
SO IN GENERAL I JUST AM NOT FOR IT.
I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE NOT FOR IT, BUT BUT YEAH, SO IT'S NOT MY CUP OF TEA.
BUT YES. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE.
[00:15:03]
SEEING NOW WITH THE APPLICANT, LIKE TO RESPOND.DID YOU HAVE ANOTHER COMMENT? WELL, I WOULD LIKE KNOW IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK.
YOU HAVE TO COME TO THE PODIUM.
STATE YOUR NAME AND FILL OUT A COMMENT CARD, PLEASE.
MY NAME IS HELEN MULLIS AND I'M AT 1429 CASTLE.
I AM, I THINK, THE FIFTH HOUSE IN.
I'VE OWNED MY HOME SINCE 2011.
I APOLOGIZE, I HAVE A BIT OF A DIFFICULTY SPEAKING, I HAVE COPD.
I APPRECIATE WHAT THE YOUNG LADY HAD TO SAY, BUT I THINK LUMPING ALL BAD THINGS THAT HAPPEN BECAUSE THERE'S A GAS STATION ON THE CORNER IS KIND OF NARROW MINDED.
WE ARE EXPANDING RAPIDLY TO THE WEST OF TOWN, BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THAT PALM BAY HAS TO GROW IS WEST OF TOWN WITH THE INCEPTION OF THE NEW PARKWAY.
THEY ARE BUILDING HOMES AND APARTMENTS AS FAST AS THEY CAN.
NAIL THE BOARDS UP, AND THERE IS GOING TO BE GAS STATIONS.
AND OUR CORNER HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ONE OF THE FIRST TO HAVE THE DEVELOPMENT.
I HAVE SEEN SOME OF THIS GENTLEMAN'S PROPERTIES AND HE IS EVERYTHING HE SAYS HE IS.
BUT TO PUT A BEAUTIFULLY DEVELOPED PLAZA WITH SELF-CONTAINING RETENTION PONDS.
BUT NOT JUST BIG CONCRETE MONSTROSITIES.
THEY HAVE FOUNTAINS IN THEM, THEY HAVE LIGHTS.
AND AS FOR THE THE SIDEWALK COMING FROM THE CHILDREN, WE'VE HAD CROSSING GUARDS THERE SINCE 2011 WHEN I BOUGHT THERE HAS NEVER NOT A GUARD TO HELP THOSE CHILDREN ACROSS THAT THOSE THOSE SIDEWALKS FROM THE FROM THE SCHOOL TO THE INTERSECTION OF GLEN COVE AND EMERSON.
SO I THINK FOR THE BASED THE DECISION ON WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS THE PROPENSITY TO HAVE BAD THINGS HAPPEN BECAUSE THERE'S A GAS STATION, IS NARROW MINDED ON OUR PART.
BAD THINGS CAN HAPPEN IF YOU PUT UP A NEW MCDONALD'S.
IF YOU PUT UP A NEW CHURCH, BAD THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN.
THANK YOU MA'AM. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? WITH THE APPLICANT. LIKE TO RESPOND TO THE COMMENTS.
GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ASAF KHAN.
I'M AN ENGINEER AND A GENERAL CONTRACTOR.
I'M SURE AS THE LADY MENTIONED, THERE ARE ALWAYS CROSSING GUARDS AT THE SCHOOL.
AND TO THINK ABOUT, THEY'RE GOING TO BE DRUG DEALERS OUT THERE.
I THINK THIS IS A DISRESPECT TO THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.
I'M SURE THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES ARE GOING TO BE THERE.
AND IN MY EXPERIENCE, DEVELOPING THESE THINGS, NORMALLY THESE KIND OF GAS STATIONS IS USED BY THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES FOR THE AS A PIT STOP ALSO, AND TO GRAB A CUP OF COFFEE AS WELL.
SO I DOUBT, UH, WHATEVER SHE'S CLAIMING IS GOING TO BE HAPPENING THERE.
SO NO TRESPASSING OR ANYTHING FROM THE SITES OR ANYTHING.
THE FLOOR IS NOW CLOSED FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS IN THE CASE.
IS BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD FOR DISCUSSION BOARD.
DO DO YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR EMOTION, IF I MAY? THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THIS PROPERTY IS ALREADY ZONED COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL.
[00:20:03]
THEY CAN BUILD A CONVENIENCE STORE IN HERE.THE ONLY REASON IT'S EVEN HERE IS BECAUSE THEY NEED A CONDITIONAL USE TO PUMP GAS.
IT'S THE ONLY REASON. SO HAVING SAID THAT, MOTION TO APPROVE CU 23 00014.
SECOND. IS THAT MISTER GOOD? YES, YES. OKAY.
ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
THE NEXT BUSINESS IS Q 23 00014.
[NEW BUSINESS]
MISS HAGLER.THE APPLICANT IS A BUSINESS CORP., REPRESENTED BY KEVIN ARBOR.
THIS LOCATION IS EAST OF AND ADJACENT TO DIXIE HIGHWAY.
NORTHEAST IN THE VICINITY, SOUTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF DIXIE HIGHWAY NORTHEAST AND ANGLERS DRIVE, SPECIFICALLY 4391 DIXIE HIGHWAY NORTHEAST. MANY KNOW IT AS THE PREVIOUS OZ'S CRAB SHACK LOCATION.

THANK YOU. DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? MR. OLSZEWSKI? THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
BRIEFLY, MA'AM. I JUST WANT TO GAIN THE UNDERSTANDING.
IS THIS PARCEL ZONED IN AS THIS MIXED USE VILLAGE THAT WE'VE KIND OF CHANGED THAT CORRIDOR TO ALREADY, AND WE'RE ONLY TALKING CONDITIONAL USE.
OR IS IT IN ONE OF THOSE OLDER USES? IT'S JUST CONDITIONAL USE.
IT'S OKAY. SO IT'S ACTUALLY ALREADY BEEN CLASSIFIED TO THAT THAT VILLAGE.
THAT'S THE POINT OF CLARIFICATION I NEEDED.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? SEEING NONE WHEN THE APPLICANT LIKE TO COME FORWARD.
GOOD EVENING. I'M KEVIN ARBER.
I'M THE APPLICANT AND THE PRINCIPAL OF BOSTON AND BAILEY CORPORATION DBA GETTING CRABBY.
OUR PLAN IS JUST TO REOPEN THE RESTAURANT ALMOST EXACTLY AS IT WAS.

WE HAVE A VERY SUCCESSFUL RESTAURANT IN JENSEN BEACH, AND WE HAD ONE IN PORT SALERNO CALLED GETTING CRABBY THAT I VACATED AND BECAUSE OF THIS SPOT BECAME AVAILABLE.
SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING A FAMILY FRIENDLY RESTAURANT THAT WAS THAT HOPEFULLY WILL MIMIC OZ'S AND BE, AS IS WELL KNOWN, PLACES.
WE'RE A VERY SUBDUED FAMILY, FAMILY FRIENDLY PLACE.
IF WE HAVE MUSIC, IT'LL BE SOLO ACTS.
NO, YOU KNOW, BAR BRAWLS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO WE HOPE THAT TO MAKE THAT PROPERTY A VERY PROUD PLACE OF PALM BAY AGAIN.
THANK YOU SIR. DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? OH, YES, MA'AM, IF I MAY.
OH. ANYWAY, SO MY ONLY QUESTION I HAVE WAS, IS, IS THE ARE YOU ALL SERVING FULL BAR OR IS IT JUST GOING TO BE BEER AND WINE OR FULL ALCOHOL? WELL, WE ANTICIPATE TO HAVE FULL BAR.
SO IT'S GOING TO BE A FULL BAR. YES.
[00:25:01]

OKAY. THANK YOU. FOR THE RECORD, THERE IS ONE LETTER OF CORRESPONDENCE IN THE PACKET ON THIS CASE.

JUST. HEY, GOOD EVENING, KIM HAGLER, GIS PLANNER.
THE APPLICANT AGAIN IS AD BUSINESS CORP., REPRESENTED BY KEVIN ARBOR.

THE FUTURE LAND USE COMMERCIAL.
THE EXISTING ZONING IS BAYFRONT MIXED USE VILLAGE DISTRICT.
SO THIS REQUEST, THE APPLICANT REQUESTS TO ALLOW OUTDOOR DINING AT A DINING ESTABLISHMENT WITHIN THE BAYFRONT MIXED USE VILLAGE DISTRICT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. AND IN 2009, SITE PLAN NUMBER 1247 WAS APPROVED FOR A RESTAURANT WITH OUTDOOR OUTDOOR DINING.
THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR 102 SEATS AND 12 STAFF ARE MET THROUGH ONSITE PARKING AND A PERPETUAL GRANT OF EASEMENT, WITH THE VFW SITE TO THE SOUTH, AND BY A PARKING VARIANCE WITH THE CITY.
STAFF RECOMMENDS CASE Q 2316 FOR APPROVAL, SUBJECT TO STAFF COMMENTS CONTAINED IN THE REPORT.
THANK YOU. DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? SEEING NONE WILL THE APPLICANT COME FORWARD? THIS IS KEVIN ARBOR AGAIN.
I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, MR. OLSZEWSKI? THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
THANK YOU, SIR, FOR COMING OUT AND PRESENTING THIS PROJECT AND BEING SO INVESTED IN PALM BAY QUESTION FOR YOU IS ON THE OUTDOOR SEATING, ARE YOU ADDING TO THE FOOTPRINT THAT OZ'S KIND OF USED? WHAT IS THE OUTDOOR SEATING? YEAH, THERE'S VERY LIMITED OUTDOOR SEATING.
THERE'S THERE'S A A SECOND STORY PORCH THAT HAS, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE 20 SEATS UP THERE.
AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER 10 OR 20 BELOW.
WE DIDN'T CHANGE THE FOOTPRINT OR THE SEATING AT ALL.
OKAY. YOU HAVEN'T MADE A NEW DECK OR ANYTHING.
SO THAT 102 SEATS IS FOR YOUR ENTIRE RESTAURANT, INCLUDING THE FEW THAT YOU HAVE OUTSIDE.
THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION.
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR AND MADAM.
MADAM CHAIR, JUST TO ADD TO THAT, JUST TO ADD TO THAT QUESTION, ARE THERE ANY FUTURE EXPANSIONS IN THE PLANS OR IN THE WORKS? THERE IS NOT. AT THIS TIME WE WOULD WE WOULD BE INTERESTED IF EVERYTHING GOES GREAT TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY FROM THE EXISTING LANDLORD.
AND AT THAT POINT I CAN'T SAY.
BUT RIGHT NOW ABSOLUTELY NO PLANS.
AND WITHIN THE NEXT 5 TO 10 YEARS.
THANK YOU. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU SIR.
THANK YOU. FOR THE RECORD, THERE IS A CORRESPONDENCE IN THE FILE ON THIS CASE.
ANY OPPOSED? SEEING NONE, IT'S BROUGHT BACK TO THE FLOOR IS NOW CLOSED, AND IT'S BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD FOR A MOTION OR FURTHER DISCUSSION.
BOARD. MOTION TO APPROVE CU 23 00016.
SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS IN THE STAFF REPORT.
SECOND MOTION BY MR. WEINBERG. SECOND BY MR. BOEREMA. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
[00:30:01]
OKAY. YES, SIR.THE OWNER IS DIAZ TREASURES, LLC AND THE REPRESENTATIVES ARE TONY MASON AND JAKE WISE.
AND IT CURRENTLY HAS A FUTURE LAND USE OF RESIDENTIAL ONE FROM BREVARD COUNTY.
SO THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A SMALL SCALE.
SMALL SCALE FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT FROM THE REZ ONE TO COMMERCIAL, AND THE REASON FOR THIS IS THIS PROPERTY IS RECENTLY BEING ANNEXED OR RECENTLY ANNEXED INTO THE CITY.
FUTURE LAND USE AND ZONING CLASSIFICATIONS.
SO THE FUTURE LAND USE OF COMMERCIAL IS BEING PROPOSED FOR THIS SITE.
THE REQUEST FOR COMMERCIAL FUTURE LAND USE PROVIDES A TRANSITION BETWEEN MAJOR ROADWAYS AND OTHER COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT INTO THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS, AND THE SITE IS NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF ARTERIAL ROADWAYS WITH BOTH RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES NEARBY.
SO CASE CP 23 000 17 IS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL AND STAFF IS AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
AND JAKE WISE IS HERE REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT.
DOES THE BOARD, MR. OLSZEWSKI? THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
MISS RAMOS, MAY I ASK THE THE DEVELOPER THIS QUESTION TOO? BUT. ARE THEY EXPRESSING HOW SOON THEY WANT TO START? AND WITH THAT SAID, HAS STAFF INDICATED IN THEIR COMMENTS HOW SOON THEY CAN START? WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS THE UPGRADES TO THE INTERSECTION.
SO THE CLARIFICATION I'M SEEKING IS WILL THE TRAFFIC LIGHT EXIST? AND MOREOVER, WILL THE UPGRADED TRAFFIC LIGHT EXISTS BEFORE THIS PROJECT EXISTS? AND AGAIN, IF MAYBE YOU'RE NOT THE RIGHT PERSON.
I'LL LET THE DEVELOPER SPEAK TO THAT.
BUT THIS IS THE FUTURE LAND USE RIGHT NOW.
SO I THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE MORE APPLICABLE ONCE WE GET FURTHER INTO THE PROCESS.
BUT I AM JUST REPRESENTING THIS ONE FOR ALEX BERNARD.
SO I DIDN'T DO A LOT OF IN DEPTH.
SO I'LL LET MR. WEISS SPEAK ON THAT AS WELL.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
THANK YOU. MR.. MR. RAMOS. MS..
YOU SAID THAT THIS PROPERTY HAS ALREADY BEEN ANNEXED INTO THE CITY.
THAT'S NOT TRUE, IS IT? THIS IS SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE ANNEXATION BY CITY COUNCIL, CORRECT? IT MAY BE STILL.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT DAY IT'S GOING TO CITY COUNCIL? OR HAS IT ALREADY? I BELIEVE, AND I'M SORRY, MICHAEL, I BELIEVE IT'S ALREADY GONE TWICE BEFORE COUNCIL.
AM I CORRECT IT OR IT ALREADY HAS BEEN AN EXCELLENT.
THAT'S CORRECT SIR. SO THERE WAS.
YEAH, THAT WAS ON THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
OKAY. YES, SIR. THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD FOR THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE, MR. WEISS? OH.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS AS WELL.
THIS ITEM, THIS PROPERTY HAS THREE ITEMS TONIGHT.
THE NEXT THREE IN CONSECUTIVE ORDER.
THE FIRST ONE IS THE FUTURE LAND USE.
WE DID ALREADY GO BEFORE COUNCIL.
THEY DID UNANIMOUSLY AGREE TO ANNEX IT.
WE DID HAVE SECOND READING ALREADY.
AND COUNCIL LIKE THE PROJECT THEY ARE AS THIS BOARD IS VERY WELL AWARE, LOOKING FOR MORE AND MORE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING HERE.
SO FOR THE ANNEXATION, IT WAS COUNTY.
SO IT HAD COUNTY ZONING, HAD COUNTY LAND USE.
SO NOW THAT THE ANNEXATION IS APPROVED, THIS IS THE NEXT STEP TO BE ABLE TO GET THE FUTURE LAND USE APPROVED, THE ZONING APPROVED, AND THE CONDITIONAL USE APPROVED OF THIS BOARD IS IN AGREEMENT.
SO WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH CITY STAFF FOR YEARS ACTUALLY, ON THIS PROJECT.
[00:35:05]
THE FUTURE EXTENSION OF THE PARKWAY SOUTH RIGHT NOW, IT TERMINATES AT MALABAR ROAD WEST AND A T INTERSECTION WOULD GO THROUGH THIS PROPERTY. SO THE CITY LUCKILY HAD LAND THAT THEY ALREADY OWNED TO THE WEST.AND THERE'S THREE AGENDA ITEMS LATER TONIGHT RELATED TO THAT AS WELL.
THAT INTERSECTION AT BABCOCK AND THE PARKWAY IN SOUTHEAST PALM PALM BAY IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION, SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE AS THOSE IMPROVEMENTS KEEP MOVING FORWARD.
SO AS FAR AS WE ARE REQUESTING TONIGHT FOR THIS PROJECT AND FOR THIS CURRENT VOTE THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU, AND THIS AGENDA ITEM IS JUST SIMPLY THE FUTURE LAND USE.
I WON'T GO THROUGH THE DETAILS OF IT.
WE HAVE THE TEN CRITERIA THAT WE GO THROUGH FOR THESE.
YOU GUYS ARE FAMILIAR WITH THEM.
WE BELIEVE AND STAFF AGREED THAT WE MEET ALL THAT CRITERIA AND THEY DO RECOMMEND US FOR APPROVAL.
SO WITH THAT TIME FRAME YOU ASKED ABOUT AS WELL A TIME FRAME, THIS IS REALLY THE SECOND STEP.
IF THOSE ARE APPROVED, WE WOULD THEN MOVE FORWARD WITH A SITE PLAN.
THAT PROCESS IS PROBABLY GOING TO TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 6 TO 9 MONTHS FROM NOW.
OUR NEED IS FOUR LANING OF THE ROAD THROUGH THERE AND ALSO FOUR LANING OF THE PARKWAY TO THE NORTH.
SO IF I DIDN'T ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, I'D BE HAPPY TO RESPOND.
AND IF THERE ARE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS, APPRECIATE A CHANCE TO RESPOND TO THEM.
THANK YOU, MR. WISE. ANY MORE QUESTIONS, MR. OLSHEVSKY? THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
THANK YOU, MR. WISE, FOR THIS PRESENTATION TONIGHT.
AND OBVIOUSLY ALL YOU DO IN OUR CITY.
MY QUESTION STANDS ABOUT THE UNFOLDING OF THIS PROJECT AND BEING A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY.
BUT THREE MONTHS, SIX MONTHS, NINE MONTHS FROM NOW, THE TRAFFIC ON THAT PARTICULAR PORTION OF MALABAR AND THE TRAFFIC ON THAT PARTICULAR PORTION OF THE PARKWAY IS HORRIBLE. IT'S IF THERE WAS A VISUAL OF OUR CITY AND THE TRAFFIC, THAT ONE IS PURPLE.
IT'S NOT EVEN RED. IT'S DARK PURPLE AT MOST HOURS OF THE DAY, MOST FUNCTIONAL HOURS.
SO IF WE'RE TO BRING THIS TO A COMMERCIAL FUTURE, LAND USE AND SUBSEQUENT CASES, AND YOU GUYS PUT SHOVELS IN THE GROUND, WHICH I'M ALWAYS VERY EXCITED ABOUT, I HAVE A LITTLE APPREHENSION HAVING SEEN OTHER THINGS UNFOLD IN THE CITY.
AN EXAMPLE, FOR YOUR SAKE AND FOR THE BOARD'S IS MINTON ROAD, THE PROPERTY ON MINTON ROAD.
THEY HAVE THE APARTMENT COMPLEX.
SO SUBSEQUENTLY, WE HAVE PROPERTY THAT WAS ANNEXED INTO THE CITY, WANTED TO BECOME COMMERCIAL, AND NOW WE'RE INHIBITED FROM DOING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THAT INTERSECTION IS WOEFULLY PURPLE.
SO I JUST I'M TRYING TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF FORESIGHT HERE AND SAY, WHERE ARE WE REALLY AT WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THAT INTERSECTION? BECAUSE TO YOUR POINT, THE PLAN TO BRING THE TRAFFIC LIGHT UP FROM THE OTHER INTERSECTION IS UNDERWAY.
WE ALL KNOW THAT THAT IS A BAND AID.
IT'S IT'S A LITTLE PIECE OF TAPE ON A ON A PRESSURIZED WATER PIPE.
AND THAT'S WHEN I WOULD SEE YOUR EXTENSION COMING IN AND THIS PROPERTY GOING.
BUT THIS PROPERTY BECOMING COMMERCIAL AND BEING DEVELOPED AS COMMERCIAL.
BEFORE THIS, THE PARKWAY IS EXTENDED AND BEFORE THE INTERSECTION IS SIGNALIZED IN THE PROPER WAY WITH BIG, PROPER MAST ARM SIGNALS. I'M NOT SEEING IT.
THE QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT, I THINK I THINK I HEARD A QUESTION IN THERE.
YEAH. AND MR. WISE ALWAYS HEARS MY QUESTION.
[00:40:01]
I DO SIT ON WEEKLY MEETINGS ABOUT THE IMPROVEMENTS AT BABCOCK AND THE PARKWAY PROJECTS MOVING FORWARD.I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THE ANTICIPATION OF THAT SIGNAL MOVING IS.
THEY DO HAVE PERMISSION FROM THE COUNTY TO DO SO, THOUGH.
THE OTHER GOOD THING IS THIS PORTION OF THE PARKWAY IS IN THE CONTROL OF THE CITY.
THAT PROJECT IS WORKING CLOSELY WITH THIS ONE.
THEY DON'T PLAN TO MOVE FORWARD UNTIL THAT SIGNAL IS INSTALLED.
THE TIME FOR PERMITTING IS MANY, MANY MONTHS.
WE WOULD HAVE TO DO A TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY BECAUSE IT WOULD CREATE MORE THAN 100 TRIPS PER DAY.
IT'S TO COMPLIMENT THE EXISTING PASSER BY TRAFFIC.
IT'S NOT GOING TO CREATE A LOT OF TRIPS.
IT'S GOING TO ACTUALLY BE A BENEFIT TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ALREADY TRAVELING THIS SEGMENT.
BUT WE DO ANTICIPATE THAT THOSE IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BE INSTALLED BEFORE A PROJECT LIKE THIS WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET ALL THE WAY DOWN THE ROAD AND TO HAVE A GRAND OPENING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THERE IS NO END USER AT THIS TIME, SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY KIND OF SPECIFIC TIMEFRAMES.
IT'S VERY ARTICULATE RESPONSE TO A VERY ARTICULATE QUESTION, AND I APPRECIATE IT.
SIR. ONE BRIEF FOLLOW UP, DOES ANYTHING DEVELOP ON THIS PRESUMABLY COMMERCIAL PARCEL BEFORE THE SAINT JOHNS HERITAGE PARKWAY EXTENSION TO THE SOUTH IS HAPPENING? THE ACCESS IS ON THIS.
DOES THIS PROJECT ACCESS ONLY MALABAR BEFORE THAT HAPPENS? IT CERTAINLY IS POSSIBLE THAT IT COULD IT COULD MOVE AHEAD.
THAT WOULD BE DEPENDENT ON ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT.
AND SO WE WOULDN'T WANT TO PUT THE BURDEN OF ONE DEVELOPMENT ON ANOTHER ONE MOVING FORWARD.
WE'VE LEARNED A LOT OF LESSONS ON THAT IN SOUTHEAST QUADRANT OF THE CITY.
AS MANY PROPERTY OWNERS AS THERE IS, THERE'S ONLY TWO OF YOU GUYS.
BUT ANYWAYS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR.
I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS INFORMATION.
IT HELPS ME MAKE A MORE EDUCATED DECISION AND I HOPE IT DOES.
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, MR. WEINBERG? YEAH.
HAS HAS THE CITY ALREADY AGREED TO THAT LAND SWAP WITH THE 2.77 ACRES, JAKE? THEY HAVE. IN FACT, THERE'S 2 OR 3 AGENDA ITEMS RIGHT AFTER THIS ONE.
WELL, THAT'S THE 13 ACRES, BUT THERE'S 2.77 SPECIFICALLY.
AND ALSO THE SAINT JOHNS HERITAGE PARK.
I'M SORRY. YES. ALSO, THE 49, 50FT AT THE NORTH END, THAT IS ALSO PART OF THE AGREEMENT.
JAKE. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT FROM THE BOARD? SEEING NONE. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. FOR THE RECORD, THERE ARE NO LETTERS IN THE FILE ON THIS CASE.
THE FLOOR IS NOW OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.
IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS REQUEST? ANY OPPOSED? SEEING NONE IS BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION OR OR EMOTION.
THIS IS GOING TO SERVE THE PEOPLE IN THE LOCAL, YOU KNOW, NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO MOTION TO APPROVE CP 23 00017.
SECOND, AND JUST TO ADD A LITTLE BIT OF FURTHER DISCUSSION TO THIS, IF YOU DON'T MIND, MADAM CHAIR, IT'S APPRECIATIVE TO TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT'S GOING TO WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THOSE CORRIDORS AND WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THOSE CORNERS.
I MEAN, AS YOU ALL KNOW, I'M A LITTLE BIT FOR COMMERCIAL, BUT UNDERSTANDING HOW AND BECAUSE WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A FORESIGHT AS TO WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE CITY, BUT TO HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT'S COMING INTO THE CITY AND HOW ALL OF THIS AND HOW WE'RE MOVING LAND AND HOW THINGS ARE TO PLAY, IT GIVES US A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW WE CAN, HOW WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE WITH THESE PROJECTS.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? NAY. MR..
OLSZEWSKI. NAME? THAT'S CORRECT MA'AM. OKAY.
THANK YOU. MOTION CARRIES THE COMPANION CASE CPC 23 00009, MISS RAMOS.
THIS IS THE ACCOMPANYING REZONING.
THE APPLICANT AGAIN, IS DIAZ TREASURES LLC, REPRESENTED BY TONY MASON AND JAKE WISE.
[00:45:07]
AGAIN, THE PROPERTY IS SOUTH OF AND ADJACENT TO MALABAR ROAD IN THE VICINITY OF SAINT JOHNS HERITAGE PARKWAY, AND THIS IS SIX ACRES.THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A REZONING FROM THE BREVARD COUNTY DESIGNATION OF AEW, WHICH IS AGRICULTURAL RESIDENTIAL, TO THE CITY OF PALM BAYS, WHICH IS COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL.
AND THIS IS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COMMERCIAL FUTURE LAND USE REQUEST.
THIS NEWLY ANNEXED PROPERTY DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A PALM BAY ZONING CLASSIFICATION ALREADY, AND IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE VISION OF EXPANDING COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY.
CP 23 00009 IS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL AND I'M AVAILABLE, AND THE APPLICANT IS AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, MISS RAMOS.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? JUST JUST ONCE AGAIN, WE'RE JUST GOING TO BE CLEAR THAT THIS CASE IS ALSO PERTAINING TO THE PREVIOUS CASE THAT'S ALREADY ANNEXED INTO THE CITY.
CORRECT. YES. THIS IS THE ZONING TO GO ALONG WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE.
AND IT'S ALREADY ANNEXED INTO THE CITY.
CORRECT. OR IS IN THE PROCESS.
THANK YOU. MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
OKAY. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE WITH THE APPLICANT.
SAME PROPERTY WE JUST SPOKE ABOUT.
ONE QUICK CLARIFICATION I AM COLORBLIND.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEANT BY PURPLE.
MY ESTEEMED COLLEAGUE WAS EXPLAINED TO ME WHAT IT IS.
SO NOW I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN BY PURPLE.
SO THANK YOU. BUT YEAH, THIS IS JUST THE ZONING FOR THE SAME PROPERTY.
WE'RE ASKING FOR IT TO BE CHANGED FROM A COUNTY ZONING TO A CITY ZONING WITH COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL AND YOUR STAFF REPORTS IS THE SIX CRITERIA FOR ZONING CHANGE. AND WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THOSE.
AND STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL.
WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
AND AGAIN, IF THERE'S ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS, I'D APPRECIATE A CHANCE TO RESPOND.
ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD FOR THE APPLICANT? MR. OLSZEWSKI? THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
THANK YOU, MR. WEISS, FOR YOUR PRESENTATION THIS EVENING.
COMMERCIAL. WHERE? WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET AT IS WHAT LEVEL OF RESEARCH GOES INTO ARTICULATING AND MAKING THE STATEMENT THAT WE'RE WE'RE A PASSING THROUGH BUSINESS, WHEN CURRENTLY THAT PIECE OF LAND IS AT A DEAD END FROM THE EAST AND FROM THE NORTH, AND EVEN, YOU KNOW, A FEW YEARS OUT, THE PROSPECTS ARE A FEW HUNDRED, MAYBE A COUPLE THOUSAND RESIDENTS DOWN IN THIS POCKET.
SO I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THE THOUGHT PROCESSES OF THE PASSER THROUGH AND THE TRAFFIC PATTERNS, BECAUSE WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO IS PURPLE IS A IS A THUNDERSTORM REFERENCE.
MY APPREHENSION IN THIS PROPERTY AND NOW IN THIS CASE AND COME INTO COMMUNITY, COMMERCIAL, AND ALL OF THOSE USES THAT ARE AVAILABLE, IS TO NAVIGATE THAT YOU HAVE TO PASS THROUGH THE DEAD END.
THE NATURE OF COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL IS IT'S FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.
THERE'S GAS STATIONS A MILE DOWN THE ROAD TO THE EAST.
THERE'S OTHER GAS STATIONS UP TO THE NORTH, THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO IT'S FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT'S ALREADY IN THE AREA, ALREADY DRIVING.
SO WE SAY PASSERBY BY TRAFFIC.
IT'S TRAFFIC THAT'S ALREADY ON THE ROAD COMING PAST HERE MOSTLY IT'S NOT A DESTINATION.
IT'S NOT THE NEW RESTAURANT YOU JUST APPROVED OR SOMEBODY'S GOING TO DRIVE ACROSS TOWN.
SOMEBODY'S GOING TO COME FROM MELBOURNE AND GO TO IT.
THEY'RE GOING TO GO TO A MORE CONVENIENT GAS STATION, UNLESS THEY ALREADY HAPPEN TO BE IN THAT AREA.
WELL, I STILL UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN.
[00:50:03]
AND IT WAS ALSO JUST BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THERE'S ALREADY SOME INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE BEING PERMITTED AT THE COUNTY RIGHT NOW AT THIS VERY INTERSECTION, IN ADDITION TO THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL I MENTIONED BEFORE.SO ALL OF THAT IS IN THE WORKS MOVING FORWARD.
SO REFLECTING YOUR SENTIMENTS, I THINK IT IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST PRIORITIES.
WELL, I THINK FOR THE RESPONSE THERE, IT HELPS ME MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION.
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? THANK YOU, MR. WEISS.
FOR THE RECORD, THERE ARE NO LETTERS IN THE FILE IN THIS CASE.
THE FLOOR IS NOW OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.
DOES ANYONE WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS REQUEST? ANY OPPOSED? SEEING THAT IT'S BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD FOR A MOTION OR FURTHER DISCUSSION.
YEAH, THIS PROPERTY HAS ALREADY BEEN ANNEXED INTO THE CITY.
AND, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY NOBODY'S GOING TO BUILD RESIDENTIAL HOUSING ON THIS PROPERTY.
SO, YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL JUST MAKES SENSE.
SO MOTION TO APPROVE CPC 23 0009.
SECOND. MOTION BY MR. WEINBERG. SECOND BY MR. GOOD. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? NAY. MOTION CARRIES 5 TO 1.
THE TREASURER'S REPRESENTED BY TONY MASON AND JAKE WISE.
AND THIS IS A CONDITIONAL USE TO ALLOW RETAIL, AUTOMOTIVE, GAS AND FUEL SALES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 185 .043. THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED A CONCEPTUAL PLAN.
SO THIS IS REALLY JUST FOR THE RETAIL USE FOR FUEL SALES.
AND THEY HAVE SHOWN THAT THEY CAN MEET ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS ON THE SITE.
CU 23 000 12 MEETS THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL, AND STAFF AND MR. WISE ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? MR. OLSZEWSKI? THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. THANK YOU, MISS RAMOS, FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.
IS IT THE STAFF'S UNDERSTANDING THAT THE RETAIL, THE GAS STATION, IS GOING TO TAKE UP THE ENTIRETY OF THE SIX ACRES OR JUST PART OF IT? I'M LOOKING AT THE DRAWING.
IT LOOKS LIKE JUST PART OF IT, BUT BUT WHAT'S YOUR YOUR UNDERSTANDING? IT'S PROPOSED 5135 SQUARE FOOT GAS STATION, ALONG WITH 2330 SQUARE FOOT RESTAURANT AND 2500 SQUARE FOOT COFFEE SHOP.
SO THAT'S HOW IT'S SHOWN AS A CONCEPT.
OKAY, SO IT'LL PROBABLY ONLY BE PART OF THE PROPERTY.
SO THE REASON I ASK THAT QUESTION IS TO ASK, IS IT MOST APPROPRIATE TO PARCEL OFF WHAT'S GOING TO BE WITHIN A RESTRICTED USE AS OPPOSED TO BLANKET APPROVE THE WHOLE PROPERTY? I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE THE PROCESS.
WHEN ALEX WROTE THIS STAFF REPORT, SHE NOTED THAT THE APPLICANT INTENDS ON KEEPING THE PROPERTY UNDIVIDED SO THEY WOULD BE OWNING THE WHOLE PARCEL AND MAYBE LEASING THE UNITS.
BUT THIS SEEMS TO OFFER A BLEND OF THINGS.
BUT I GUESS FURTHER QUESTIONS WOULD BE FOR THE APPLICANT.
BUT I APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR BACKGROUND THERE.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? MR. WISE? THANK YOU. SO THE ENTIRE SITE IS SIX ACRES, WHICH IS LARGER THAN YOUR TYPICAL GAS STATION.
WE'VE EVEN AGREED TO PROVIDE AN EASEMENT FOR THE CITY TO PROVIDE STORMWATER FROM THE FUTURE PARKWAY EXTENSION THROUGH THE SOUTH END OF THE SITE, WHERE STORMWATER TREATMENT WOULD BE PROVIDED ON CITY LAND.
SO THAT'S THE LEVEL OF DETAIL WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE CITY.
THE CITY STAFF HAS AGREED THAT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD USE AT THIS CORNER.
JUST FOR EXAMPLE, THE NORTHEAST CORNER WOULD HAVE A VERY DIFFICULT TIME CROSSING THE CANAL, SO THAT IS ANTICIPATED TO BE SOME OTHER TYPE OF COMMERCIAL USE IN THE FUTURE. FOR THE CONDITIONAL USE, THERE ARE SIX CRITERIA AND WE EITHER MEET THOSE ALREADY OR DURING THE SITE
[00:55:02]
PLAN APPROVAL PROCESS.WE'LL GIVE THE FURTHER DETAIL THAT WE WOULD.
WE JUST HAD A RECOMMENDATION FOR THE LAND USE AND THE ZONING TONIGHT.
WE STILL DON'T HAVE THOSE ESTABLISHED, SO WE HAVEN'T GONE TO A FULL SITE PLAT.
AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, WE DON'T HAVE AN END USER YET.
TYPICALLY THAT WOULDN'T HAPPEN UNTIL WE HAVE AT LEAST ZONING AND LAND USE, AND THEN NORMALLY WE WOULD GO THROUGH A SITE PLAN APPROVAL PROCESS AS PART OF ALL OF THAT AS WELL, WHICH AGAIN WOULD INCLUDE A TRAFFIC STUDY.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH OF THE SITE WOULD BE UTILIZED BY A GAS STATION, BUT BASED ON TYPICAL GAS STATIONS, WE DON'T THINK IT WOULD USE THE WHOLE SITE.
SO A PORTION OF THE SITE COULD BE FOR THE GAS STATION, IT COULD BE FOR SOMETHING ELSE.
THE CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN IN THE STAFF REPORT IDENTIFIES A COUPLE OF FAST FOOD COFFEE SHOP TYPE RESTAURANTS, AGAIN TYPICALLY PASSERBY TRAFFIC, BUT NONE OF THAT'S BEEN FINALIZED.
WE'RE JUST TONIGHT ONLY ASKING FOR THE CONDITIONAL USE FOR THE POTENTIAL OF A GAS STATION DOESN'T MEAN THERE WILL BE ONE THERE SOMEDAY, IT'S JUST THE POTENTIAL FOR IT AT THIS TIME.
SO WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE APPLICANT? THANK YOU. I DO HAVE.
YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ANSWER IT WITH THIS, WITH THIS SITE AND WITH THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SITE, WHETHER IT'S A GAS STATION, WHETHER IT'S SOME OTHER COMMERCIAL USE. HOW DO YOU SEE THIS? I MEAN, I KNOW WE'RE KIND OF LOOKING AT THIS SITE FOR THE, FOR THE FUTURE USE FOR THE, FOR THE PARKWAY.
SO HOW DO YOU AND LIKE I SAY, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO ANSWER YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BUT HOW DO YOU SEE THIS BEING ABLE TO TIE INTO THAT, INTO THE INTO THE HERITAGE. I KNOW IT DOESN'T MATTER FOR FOR THE FOR THE CONDITIONAL USE, BUT WE'RE ALMOST DONE.
SO. AND I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO ANSWER.
SO JUST I MEAN, IF YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF HOW WOULD IT FIT IN THE.
SO MAYBE I CAN HOLD OFF TO THAT FOR THAT, FOR THAT OR BUT YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANTED TO MAYBE JUST.
YEAH. IF YOU, IF YOU I MEAN, IF YOU CAN LIKE I SAID, IF YOU CAN ANSWER IT IF YOU IF YOU CAN'T.
SO NORTHWEST CORNER OF THIS INTERSECTION IS PUBLIX WITH SOME OUTPARCELS.
SO THIS ONE WOULD BE ANTICIPATED TO BE COMPLEMENTARY USES FOR THAT.
SO WE'RE NOT ANTICIPATING MULTIPLE PARCELS.
WE'VE EVEN TALKED WITH THE STAFF ABOUT DRIVEWAY LOCATIONS.
THEY WOULD HAVE SHARED DRIVEWAYS FOR THE SHARED USES OR DIFFERENT USES.
THANK YOU. SIR, CAN I ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? YEAH. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, OUR GOAL IS TO EVENTUALLY GET THAT PARKWAY, YOU KNOW, TO WHERE WE CAN, YOU KNOW, START BRINGING RESIDENTS DOWN THAT ROAD, TOO.
SO SO THAT'S WHERE. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
JAKE, HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY? YEAH, I HAD A QUESTION THAT JUST CAME TO MIND.
THERE WOULD BE NO BIG TRUCK FUELING AT THIS STATION, WOULD THERE? THAT'S NOT ANTICIPATING.
BUT OF COURSE, FUEL TRUCKS WOULD HAVE TO COME TO REFILL THE TRUCKS FUEL.
BUT OKAY, IT'S NOT A CONSTRUCTION GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
AND A LOT OF DIESEL TRUCKS LOOKING FOR PLACES TO FUEL UP.
YEAH. NO, WE DON'T ANTICIPATE TO BE A BIG GAS OR REFUELING FOR TRUCKS LIKE THAT.
NORMALLY THOSE ARE ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS.
OKAY. THANK YOU. WE DO HAVE A LOT OF LOCAL DIESELS WITH ALL THE CONSTRUCTION GOING ON.
MADAM CHAIR, I DID HAVE A QUESTION FOR MR. WEISS. OKAY. MR. WEISS, ONE MORE QUESTION.
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. THANK YOU, MR. WEISS. SIR, HOW CLOSE IS THIS PARCEL TO PROTECTED WETLANDS? WE HAVEN'T DONE A WETLAND STUDY ON SITE OR OFF SITE TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
GIVE OR TAKE TO THE THREE FORKS.
THREE FORKS HAS ONE SMALL WETLAND LESS THAN AN ACRE, ISOLATED VERY FAR AWAY FROM THE SITE.
AND THERE'S A GIANT CANAL IN BETWEEN.
GOTCHA. SO IT WOULDN'T BE SHARING ANY OF THE HYDRAULICS IF THAT'S THE QUESTION.
SO IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BACK UP TO ANY TO YOUR CURSORY KNOWLEDGE.
[01:00:05]
BUT WE HAVEN'T LOOKED OFFSITE.THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION, SIR.
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. THANK YOU, MR. RICE. FOR THE RECORD, THERE ARE NO LETTERS IN THE FILE IN THIS CASE.
THE FLOOR IS NOW OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.
DOES ANYONE WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS REQUEST? AND HE OPPOSED.
SEEING NONE IS BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD.
DO HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION OR MOTION? MOTION TO APPROVE CU 23 00012.
SECOND MOTION BY MR. WEINBERG. SECOND BY MR. GOOD. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED.
SO IT IS ALSO SOUTH OF MALABAR ROAD IN THE VICINITY OF SAINT JOHNS HERITAGE PARKWAY.
THIS SITE IS 13.05 ACRES AND IT CURRENTLY HAS COUNT BREVARD COUNTY ZONING OF YOU WHICH IS AGRICULTURAL, RESIDENTIAL AND FUTURE LAND USE OF RESIDENTIAL ONE WHICH IS ALSO BREVARD COUNTY CLASSIFICATION.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A SMALL SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT FROM REZ ONE FOR BREVARD COUNTY TO COMMERCIAL FOR THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
CLASSIFICATION AND THE REQUEST FOR COMMERCIAL FUTURE LAND USE PROVIDES A TRANSITION AGAIN BETWEEN THE MAJOR ROADWAYS AND OTHER COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT INTO THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS.
THE SITE IS NEAR AN INTERSECTION OF ARTERIAL ROADWAYS, BOTH RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES NEARBY, AND IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOODS AND WILL PROVIDE SUPPORTING COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
SO CP 23 00019 IS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL AND STAFF IS AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? SEEING NONE. THE FLOOR IS NOW OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.
IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS REQUEST.
ANY OPPOSED? THE FLOOR IS NOW CLOSED. IS BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD FOR MOTION OR FURTHER DISCUSSION.
SO. MOTION TO APPROVE CP 23 00019.
SECOND. I'M A MOTION A SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. OPPOSED.
NEXT CASE IS ZONING CASE CPC 23 00011.
MISS RAMOS. THIS IS THE ACCOMPANYING ZONING.
THE APPLICANT, AGAIN IS THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
AND THIS IS THE PROPERTY SOUTH OF MALABAR ROAD IN THE VICINITY OF SAINT JOHNS HERITAGE PARKWAY.
YES. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A ZONING REZONING FROM THE BREVARD COUNTY CLASSIFICATION OF AEW, WHICH IS AGRICULTURAL RESIDENTIAL TO CC, WHICH IS COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL, AND THAT WOULD BE THE CITY OF PALM BAY CLASSIFICATION.
THE PROPERTIES BEING ANNEXED OR HAS BEEN ANNEXED, AND THE CITY ZONING CLASSIFICATION IS NECESSARY FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, AND THE REQUEST FOR COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL IS TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY'S CURRENT AND FUTURE NEEDS BY INCREASING COMMERCIAL LAND TO BETTER SERVE THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY.
CP'S 23 00011 IS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL, AND I'M AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD FOR STAFF? YES, MA'AM. THIS MAY BE A QUICK STUNNER, BUT THE OUR COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT DO THAT INCLUDES SCHOOLS.
I DON'T KNOW THAT ONE OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
THERE'S A LONG LIST OF THINGS THAT CAN GO COMMERCIAL.
KNOCK ON MY HEAD. IS THAT INCLUDED ONE OF THEM? THANK YOU, MR. REYNOLDS.
THE FLOOR IS NOW OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.
DOES ANYONE WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS REQUEST?
[01:05:01]
ANY OPPOSED? SEEING NONE. IT'S BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD FOR A MOTION OR DISCUSSION.MOTION TO APPROVE CPC 23 00011.
ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
MISS HAGLER. THE APPLICANT ON THIS CASE IS MICHAEL AND REBECCA CRUZ, REPRESENTED THIS EVENING BY JOSEPH CRUZ.
THE LOCATION IS SOUTH OF AND ADJACENT TO ALCANTARA STREET, SPECIFICALLY AT 242 ALCANTARA STREET.
NORTHWEST SIDES, APPROXIMATELY 10.5 ACRES.
THE NURSERY IS A PREEXISTING NON-CONFORMING USE, WHICH CANNOT CURRENTLY BE EXTENDED TO THE ADJOINING APPROXIMATELY HALF ACRE PARCEL WHICH THEY RECENTLY PURCHASED. THE REZONING OF BOTH PARCELS TO RURAL RESIDENTIAL WILL ALLOW THE EXISTING BUSINESS TO EXPAND OPERATIONS, COMBINE THE TWO PARCELS AND BRING THE ENTIRE SEAT SITE INTO CONFORMANCE WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, AND CASE Z 2313 IS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL, SUBJECT TO STAFF COMMENTS CONTAINED IN THE STAFF REPORT. THANK YOU, MISS TAYLOR.
ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD FOR STAFF? MR. OLSAVSKY? THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
MA'AM, CAN WE VISUALLY ON THE MAP COME TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THE PARCELS THAT ARE RECENTLY ACQUIRED ARE IN RELATIVE? IS IT IS IT UP? DOWN AT THE TOP.
SEE WHERE THE BROWN BECAUSE IT'S R'S TWO.
BUT JUST ABOVE THAT IT'S THAT CROSSHATCH O WITH THE CROSSHATCH THAT'S STILL BROWN.
CORRECT. SO IT'S THE WHOLE FRONTAGE TO ALCANTARA.
YEAH. AND FORGIVE ME FOR ASKING, BUT WHO WAS THE PROPERTY OWNER.
MAYBE IT'S BETTER FOR THE THE APPLICANT.
BUT THEY RECENTLY OBTAINED THIS PROPERTY IS WHAT WE'RE SAYING HERE.
THEY RECENTLY OBTAINED THE PROPERTY.
FROM WHO. MEANWHILE, THOSE VARIOUS PROPERTY OWNERS, IT WAS MALAYALAM.
OKAY, OKAY, SO IT WAS IT WAS RESIDENTIAL LOTS.
AND NOW THEY'RE COMING FORTH FORWARD.
BUT THEY AREN'T THEY AREN'T A CONFORMING SIZE.
THEY'RE FOR RESIDENTIAL ANYWAY.
THEY COULDN'T PUT YOU COULDN'T PUT A HOUSE ON THEM.
ODD LITTLE LOTS. AND SO OUR ACTION TONIGHT WILL MAKE THIS WHOLE NURSERY ONE PIECE OF PROPERTY, ALL WITH THE SAME USES, ALL WITH THE SAME LAND USE THAT CONFORMS EVERYTHING.
THE ZONING HAPPENED AROUND THEM.
SO THAT ZONING HAPPENED ON TOP OF THEIR BUSINESS AFTER IT HAD BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR FOR YEARS.
THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION.
IT REALLY HELPS ME MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, MISS HAGLER. MAYBE FOR THE.
OH NO. NO, THIS WILL PROBABLY BE FOR THE APPLICANT.
IT WOULD PROBABLY BE FOR THE APPLICANT.
WHEN THE APPLICANT PLEASE COME FORWARD.
GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS JOSEPH CRUZ.
REPRESENT THE FAMILY THAT OWNS THIS PROPERTY.
DO YOU WANT TO TELL US ANYTHING FURTHER ABOUT YOUR.
WE'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR ALMOST 29 YEARS.
WE BOUGHT THE ADJACENT PROPERTY FROM DAVID MOYLAN.
TO US, IT WAS A GIANT EYESORE.
SO THE 100 FOOT AUSTRALIAN PINES WERE BECOMING A PROBLEM.
SO WE ENDED UP BUYING IT OFF OF IT AND CLEARED IT.
AND FROM WHAT EVERYBODY'S TOLD IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY ENJOY IT.
IT GIVES US A BETTER SIGHT LINE GETTING OUT AND IN IN OUR PROPERTY.
SO I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU. DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? MR. OLSZEWSKI? THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
THANK YOU, SIR, FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY'S PARTICIPATION IN OUR COMMUNITY.
IT'S REALLY SOMETHING SPECIAL.
AND I THINK THAT YOUR NURSERY IS IS A COOL LITTLE HONEY HOLE.
WHAT FURTHER PLANS DO YOU HAVE TO IMPROVE THE DRAINAGE SITUATION SUBSEQUENT TO THE PRESUMABLY SUBSEQUENT TO THE LAND CLEARING, BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF DRAINAGE SITUATION ON YOUR FRONTAGE? CORRECT. YEAH. THERE IS.
[01:10:05]
UNDER IT. THAT WORKS.SO THEREFORE THE NEIGHBOR TO THE WEST OF US DOESN'T DRAIN OUR WAY.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO HELP HIM FIGURE THAT OUT.
AND WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO EXTEND THAT DRAINAGE IN FRONT OF US.
AND IT PULLS ON THE WEST END OF OUR PROPERTY.
AND THIS IS HARD, HARD TO ASK YOU ABOUT, BUT I HAVE TO.
I THINK IT'S YOUR LONG TERM GOAL TO HAVE THAT NOT BE LIKE THAT.
YOU GOT PRODUCT ALL THE WAY TO THE FENCE LINE.
THE DITCH AND THE FRONTAGE AND THE FENCE LOOKS REALLY BAD.
WE DISCUSSED WITH PUBLIC WORKS ABOUT THEM COMING IN AND HELPING US, BECAUSE THE REASON WE CLEARED THAT ALL WAS BECAUSE IT STAYED SO WET, BECAUSE ALL THE TREES HELD ALL THE MOISTURE, AND TRYING TO GET PUBLIC WORKS WITH US TO MAYBE HELP US WITH TRENCHING THAT WITH THEIR MACHINE.
IF IT MEANS WE HAVE TO GO OUT THERE AND MAKE THAT DITCH OURSELVES, WE'LL END UP DOING THAT.
DID THEY TRENCH IT FOR YOU? THEY JUST HAVEN'T YET.
OKAY. NOT YET. THEY NEVER DID BEFORE.
EVEN WHEN MO'ALLEM OWNED IT, IT WAS VERY, VERY WET.
SO. WELL, AS I SAY OUT LOUD, WE WORK ON THE DRAINAGE.
WE LIKE TO FLOW OUT AND TRY TO KEEP IT FLOWING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
OH, I APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE IT'S BETTER FOR YOUR BUSINESS FOR IT TO BE ACCESSIBLE.
AND I KNOW, YOU KNOW, BEING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THE SCHOOL, THAT MAKES IT TOUGH ENOUGH.
THE ROAD HAS BEEN REPAVED AND IT'S UNDER WATER THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME.
I'M SCARED. I'M SCARED THAT THE INTEGRITY IS GOING TO GO AWAY.
BUT WE TRY TO HELP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
IT ONLY BEHOOVES YOU, I HOPE, THAT THE STAFF IS HEARING LOUD AND CLEAR THAT THAT THE GENTLEMAN AND HIS FAMILY AND HIS OPERATORS NEED SOME HELP WITH THAT SITUATION BECAUSE IT IS A HINDRANCE TO THE CAR LOOP TRAFFIC AND TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR, AND THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU.
LET'S SEE. FOR THE RECORD, THERE ARE NO LETTERS IN THE FILE ON THIS CASE.
THE FLOOR IS NOW OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.
DOES ANYONE WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS REQUEST? ANY OPPOSED? SEEING NONE.
DO YOU HAVE A MOTION OR FURTHER DISCUSSION? YES, CHAIRMAN.
THE TEN ACRES HAVE BEEN A LEGAL, NONCONFORMING USE FOR MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS.
HAVING SAID THAT, MOTION TO APPROVE Z 23 00013.
SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
THE NEXT CASE, Z 23 00014, MISS RAMOS.
OKAY. THIS IS CASE Z 23 00014.
THE APPLICANT IS SK PROPERTIES, LLC AND THEY'RE REPRESENTED BY RICHARD PRICE AND RICK KERN.
THE LOCATION IS WEST OF AND ADJACENT TO GLENHAM DRIVE, NORTHEAST IN THE VICINITY WEST OF PALMDALE CIRCLE, AND THE PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY 15.53 ACRES.
THE APPLICANT REQUESTED A ZONING CHANGE FROM ONE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO AN MRS TWO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT, AND IN AN ANALYSIS, THE ZONING REZONING WILL ALLOW FOR A SUBDIVISION WITH 75 FOOT WIDE LOTS INSTEAD OF THE CURRENTLY REQUIRED 80 FOOT WIDE LOTS, AND OTHERWISE, THE REQUESTED DISTRICT IS NOT SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF THE SURROUNDING AREA, AND SO CASE Z 23 00014 IS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL AND STAFF IS AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AND SO IS THE APPLICANT.
THANK YOU. MS.. RAMOS, ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD FOR STAFF?
[01:15:05]
SEEING NONE WHEN THE APPLICANT PLEASE COME FORWARD.I'M REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT HERE.
THEY'RE A LOCAL PALM BAY HOME BUILDER.
UM, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY THE ONLY THING THAT WE'RE SEEKING WITH THE ZONING CHANGE IS TO HAVE A 75 FOOT WIDE LOTS INSTEAD, AND INSTEAD OF THE 80 FOOT WIDE LOTS.
AND. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY, ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE BOARD HAS ON ON THE, ON ON THE REZONING.
YEAH. I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION.
SO HOW MANY MORE HOUSES WILL YOU BE ABLE TO PUT ON HERE NOW AS OPPOSED TO THE CURRENT ZONING? THREE. THAT'S IT.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU SIR.
FOR THE RECORD, THERE ARE THREE CORRESPONDENTS IN THE FILE ON THIS CASE.
THE FLOOR IS NOW OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.
IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS REQUEST? ANY OPPOSED? SIR, WE'LL START WITH YOU OVER HERE ON THE.
SO ARE WE. THE REASON I'M OPPOSED TO IT IS BECAUSE.
CAN YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD? GARY RAYBURN, 921 SUNNYBROOK ROAD, RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD FROM HERE.
WELL, I JUST SAW A 75 FOOT LOTS.
MY FRONT LOT IS 90, AND IT'S 150 SOMETHING BY THE WATER.
BUT THE PROBLEM IS, WE HAVE A SCHOOL RIGHT THERE.
AND EVERY MORNING IT'S PACKED.
WE CAN'T EVEN GET THROUGH THERE.
THOSE ARE ALL PACKED. GETTING IN AND OUT, IN AND OUT.
IT'S EVEN WORSE WHEN THEY'RE PICKING UP THE KIDS.
IT'S TERRIBLE. YOU CAN'T GO THAT WAY AT ALL.
AND IT'S ONLY A TWO LANE ROAD.
AND IF THEY PUT HOW MANY? I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MANY HOUSES THEY WANT TO PUT THERE.
DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW MANY THEY WANT? I SAID 15 ACRES UP NORTH WITH ONE HOUSE.
DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW MANY HOUSES THEY WANT TO PUT THERE? KNOW HOW MANY? IT'S NOT BACK AND FORTH.
SO YOU JUST MAKE YOUR COMMENTS.
WELL, I'LL STEP ASIDE AND HE CAN TELL US.
HE CAN RESPOND AFTER YOU FINISH.
OKAY. OKAY. BUT ANYHOW, IT'S JUST GOING TO BE TOO CONGESTED THERE.
THEY TRIED TO PUT APARTMENTS THERE LAST YEAR AND WE GOT THAT TAKEN DOWN.
AND ALSO THERE'S A CHURCH RIGHT THERE RIGHT NEXT TO WHERE THAT PURPLE IS I THINK.
AND THEN THERE'S A BALLPARK NEXT DOOR.
YOU'D HAVE TO PUT A SIX LANE ROAD IN THERE TO ACCOMMODATE ALL THIS STUFF.
AND I DON'T THINK THEY WANT TO DO THAT.
THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? MA'AM. YOU.
I'M RIGHT AT THE END OF GLENHAM ROAD FROM WHERE THIS DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO BE.
I THINK MY NEIGHBORS WERE ALL RESIGNED TO THE FACT THAT THIS AREA IS GOING TO BE DEVELOPED.
BUT BEYOND THE SIZE OF THE LOT, THERE'S ALSO A CHANGE TO THE SIZE OF THE HOUSES.
SO I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE RECOGNIZED HERE.
AND IT'S NOT IT'S NOT COHESIVE WITH THE REST OF THE AREA.
SO THAT WHOLE AREA IS ONE, AND THE RS TWO ALLOWS THEM TO GO FROM 1600 FEET HOUSE TO 1400.
IT'S A MUCH SMALLER HOUSE, ONE CAR GARAGE THAT'S GOING TO HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON OUR HOUSES.
WE HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH TRAFFIC ON GLENHAM AND THERE'S NO TRAFFIC LIGHT.
WE'VE GOT THE CHURCH, THE SCHOOL, WE'VE GOT THE BALLPARK, WE'VE GOT A DAYCARE.
BUT THIS WILL HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON OUR HOUSES AND OUR THE VALUE OF OUR HOUSES.
[01:20:06]
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.MA'AM. SIR, WOULD YOU LIKE TO RESPOND? HOW ARE YOU DOING? MY NAME IS WENTWORTH KERRY.
I LIVE OF 2595 HAMLIN, WHICH IS RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD FROM WHERE THIS IS.
SOME OF THE QUESTIONS HAVE ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED.
I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS EVEN GOING DOWN TO 70 FOOT WIDE.
I GOT ONLINE WHERE THERE WERE 100 FOOT WIDE LOTS.
MY QUESTION TO YOU IS I'VE BEEN THERE 35 YEARS.
I WOULDN'T NEED ANYTHING COMING OUT OF THERE.
NOW, THE THING IS, IS ARE THESE HOUSES GOING TO BE AND IT'S QUESTIONS MORE THAN CRITICISMS. ARE THESE HOUSES GOING TO BE ON SEPTIC BECAUSE THE ONES ON GLENARM ARE ON SEPTIC TANKS.
EVEN THOUGH THERE'S A CROSSING GUARD THERE WITH SO MUCH TRAFFIC, THEY'RE STOPPED.
YOU CAN'T GET THROUGH THERE AND PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SQUEEZE AROUND TO GO HOME.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMETHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
ALSO ON THE OTHER CORNER OF GLENHAM AND PALM BAY ROAD.
ARE THEY GOING TO PUT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THERE? WHAT'S GOING TO BE DONE TO RELIEVE THE TRAFFIC, OR ARE WE JUST GOING TO MAKE PROFIT? AND THE HECK WITH EVERYTHING ELSE, LET EVERYTHING GO BY THE WAYSIDE.
WOULD YOU FILL OUT A COMMENT CARD AND LEAVE IT AT THE PODIUM? EXCUSE ME, YOU NEED TO FILL OUT A COMMENT CARD AND YOU CAN BRING IT BACK TO THE PODIUM.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION IN THE RED? EILEEN STEP. 1234 RAIL ROAD NORTHEAST.
I DON'T LIVE IN THIS AREA, BUT I'M.
SPEAKING AGAINST ANY INCREASE IN RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AT THIS TIME.
WE JUST PAT. THE CITY JUST PASSED A MANDATORY CITY WATER AND SEWER.
EVERY TIME IT RAINS, THERE'S FLOODING EVERYWHERE.
THE CANALS ARE NOT KEPT OR MAINTAINED CLEAN.
THE LAST TIME THE ONE NEAR MY HOUSE WAS CLEARED WAS TWO MONTHS AGO, AND IT'S ALREADY BACKING UP.
THE DRAIN FROM THE CULVERTS GOING INTO THE CANAL ARE COMPLETELY BLOCKED BY DEBRIS.
EXCUSE ME, MA'AM, YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS CASE IN PARTICULAR.
WE'RE JUST ON THIS CASE, NOT YOUR PROPERTY.
I'M SORRY. WELL, I'M JUST SAYING, IN GENERAL, THIS CITY, THE UTILITIES CANNOT ACCOMMODATE ANY NEW DEVELOPMENT OR EXPANSION OF WHAT'S ALREADY PROPOSED.
WE REALLY NEED TO STOP AND HESITATE AND GET THESE THINGS CLEANED UP BEFORE WE EXPAND IT.
BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIVED HERE FOR YEARS, IT'S ONLY GETTING WORSE.
EVERY TIME IT RAINS, IT'S WORSE.
THERE ARE TIMES WHERE YOU NEED A CANOE TO GET DOWN THE STREET.
AND THE DEVELOPMENT'S A BAD IDEA FOR ANY EXPANSION OR INCREASING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WE HAVE UNTIL WE GET OUR UTILITIES UNDER CONTROL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK, SIR? HELLO, I'M WILLIAM SUMMERS.
I'M AT 1209 GLENHAM DRIVE, NORTHEAST PALM BAY.
MY WIFE GINA AND I, WE MOVED THERE TWO YEARS AGO FROM WEST MELBOURNE TO GET AWAY FROM THE TRAFFIC.
YOU'VE HEARD FROM OUR NEIGHBORS.
MOST EVERYBODY HAS TROUBLE GETTING IN AND OUT ON GLENHAM DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC.
YOU'VE GOT IT POSTED AT 30 MILE AN HOUR.
THERE'S VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC AT 30 MILES AN HOUR.
[01:25:07]
TRAFFIC AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP THIS SAFE.WHATEVER YOU DO WITH THIS PARCEL, WE GOT TO MAKE THAT ROAD SAFER.
IF YOU PUT MORE HOUSES IN THERE, YOU CAN'T DUMP A BUNCH OF EXITS AND ENTRANCE WAYS ON THE GLENHAM.
WE NEED STOP SIGNS OR SOMETHING AT THESE INTERSECTIONS TO AT LEAST SLOW THE TRAFFIC DOWN, TO GIVE PEOPLE A CHANCE TO WALK THOSE SIDEWALKS THAT WE HAVE AND GET TO SCHOOL.
AND THAT'S REALLY MY OBJECTION.
THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER TO ADD ON THIS CASE? PAT ALPER, 14 GEORGE'S AVENUE NORTHEAST.
I HAVE BROUGHT THIS UP BEFORE IN THE NORTHEAST SECTION OF PALM BAY.
WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE BUILDING BECAUSE OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE.
SO I AGREE WITH EVERYBODY WHAT THEY SAID BECAUSE NORTHEAST IS SO CRAMMED WITH TRAFFIC.
OUR ROADS AND THERE'S NO SIDEWALKS.
THE SIDEWALKS NEED TO BE REPAIRED IN MANY PLACES.
THERE'S FLOODING EVERYWHERE IN THE NORTHEAST.
SO THE NORTHEAST NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AS FAR AS INFRASTRUCTURE BEFORE WE DO ANY MORE BUILDING.
ANY FURTHER COMMENTS? I SAY ONE MORE THING.
NO, SIR. YOU'VE HAD YOUR CHANCE.
OKAY. SEEING NONE WITH THE APPLICANT, LIKE TO RESPOND? SURE. IN RESPONSE TO THE NUMBER OF HOMES WE EXPECT, WE'LL BE PROPOSING 43 HOMES ON THE ON THE SITE.
AS FAR AS THE MINIMUM HOUSE SIZE GOES, WE'LL BE BUILDING ABOVE, ABOVE, ABOVE THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE OF THE OF THE OF THE ONE ZONING.
THE EXPECTED MINIMUM HOUSE SIZE IS 1800 SQUARE FEET.
AS FAR AS THE HOUSE VALUES GO, THEY'LL BE GENERALLY IN THE $400,000 RANGE ON THE HOUSES.
AND WE WILL NOT BE ON ON ON A SUBJECT TANKS.
WE'LL WE'LL BE ON CITY SEWER ON THIS PROJECT.
UM, MR. CHAYEFSKY, MAY I ASK A QUESTION? THE APPLICANT? YES, PLEASE.
THANK YOU, SIR, FOR BEING WITH US TONIGHT AND BRINGING FORTH THIS PRESENTATION.
HOW MANY HOMES ARE IN THAT SUBDIVISION? THERE ARE 50 IN THAT ONE.
THERE'S 50 HOMES IN THE SUBDIVISION BEHIND FIRE STATION NUMBER ONE.
AND APPROXIMATELY HOW LONG HAS THAT SUBDIVISION BEEN THERE? THEY STARTED ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO, AND THEY FINISHED IT UP ABOUT 1 OR 2 YEARS AGO.
UNDERSTOOD. THANK YOU FOR THAT.
JUST A POINT OF CLARIFICATION.
IN THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, 43 HOMES, APPROXIMATELY 1800 SQUARE FEET.
YOU MENTIONED A PRICE POINT OF 400,000.
NOW, SIR, I'M NOT A REALTOR BY TRADE.
ARE YOU COINING THIS AS A LUXURY ACCOMMODATION TYPE OF.
OR IS THIS A WHAT DO YOU TAG IN THIS DEVELOPMENT? WHAT? I'LL BRING THE THE APPLICANT UP.
I THINK HE CAN. ADJUST THAT BETTER.
JUST TRYING TO GET A VISION FOR IT.
HELLO. BILL PRICE, 619 DENNIS STREET.
YOU HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE TYPE OF HOUSES I BUILD.
WELL, SPECIFICALLY THIS PROJECT, SIR, YOU GOT 1800 SQUARE FOOT HOMES.
THEY'RE GOING TO GO FOR THE FOUR HUNDREDS.
IS THAT ADVERTISED AS LUXURY? IS THAT JUST WHAT'S NORMAL IN TODAY'S MARKET OR TOMORROW'S MARKET WHEN YOU BUILD THESE, WHAT KIND OF PROJECT IS THIS? WHAT'S THE CHARACTER OF THIS PROJECT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO ADD TO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD? JUST GOOD QUALITY HOMES.
I DON'T REALLY POINT TO A LUXURY HOME.
WE DON'T BUILD REALLY LARGE, GIANT MANSIONS.
WE JUST BUILD GOOD QUALITY HOMES FOR THE LOCAL FAMILIES HERE.
[01:30:02]
THAT'S AWESOME.THANK YOU FOR THE INFUSION IN THE COMMUNITY.
CAN YOU HELP ME AND THE REST OF THE BOARD UNDERSTAND HOW MANY OF THESE SUBDIVISIONS INTO EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND COMPANY HAVE BUILT IN THE RECENT YEARS? I'VE BUILT TWO.
OKAY. AND WHERE ARE THOSE LOCATED? THE ONE BEHIND THE FIRE STATION.
THAT WAS 15 HOMES ONE FIVE AND ONE FIVE, NOT 50.
CORRECT. AND THEN THERE'S 55 ZERO HOMES THAT WAS OUT OFF OF MALABAR ROAD OUT WEST OF JUPITER.
GOTCHA. WAS THAT HURLEY OR GARVEY THAT NEITHER ONE.
WAIT. I'M SORRY. IT'S OFF OF HURLEY.

MR. VICE. THANK YOU, JAKE, CIVIL ENGINEER FOR THE PROJECT.
THIS IS PART OF THE OVERALL WATERSTONE MASTER PLAN.
THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL WAS BY A DIFFERENT DEVELOPER.
IT WAS SINCE PURCHASED BY KB HOMES.
THEY PURCHASED PHASES TWO AND THREE.
PHASES TWO AND THREE DIDN'T HAVE ANY DIVERSITY OF PRODUCT AND LOT SIZES.
ONLY PHASE ONE DID, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE PHASE ONE.
SO WE HAVE COME BACK WITH MODIFICATIONS TO ONLY PHASE THREE.
AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT TODAY.
THE LAYOUT IS EXACTLY THE SAME.
THE AMENITIES ARE EXACTLY THE SAME.
STORM WATER, RECREATION ROADS.
ALL OF THAT IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS WHAT YOU PREVIOUSLY APPROVED.
LOTS. SO WITH THAT IT WAS ALREADY MASTER PLANNED AND APPROVED FOR STORMWATER ROADS.
WE HAVE A MASTER TRAFFIC STUDY FOR THIS WHOLE MASTER DEVELOPMENT PHASE TWO OF THIS PROJECT.
DID THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT MERALOMA AND BABCOCK STREET ARE CURRENTLY OTHER PHASES OF WATERSTONE, AND OTHER PARTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT ARE LOOPING MIRALOMA AROUND AND WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO BEING OPEN UP.
WE ALREADY HAVE THE ZONING AND THE LAND USE.
WE'RE FULLY COMPLIANT WITH ALL THOSE REQUIREMENTS AND ALL LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE REQUIREMENTS.
SO WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THOSE AS WELL, ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO GO THROUGH THEM ALL YET.
[01:40:02]
THE SCHOOL HAS PROVIDED CONCURRENCY APPROVAL FOR THIS AND THE OWNER IS HERE.THANK YOU, MR. WISE. DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? ONE QUESTION. YEAH, JAKE, I'M ALWAYS UPSET ABOUT THE 40 FOOT WIDTH OF A LOT.
WHAT KIND OF DEMOGRAPHIC? WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE WOULD BE BUYING THESE 40 FOOT LOTS? YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING.
DECADE PLUS AGO, EVERYTHING WAS LARGER.
LOTS. EVER SINCE THEN, THE SAME BUYERS WANT THE 40, THE 50 FOOT WIDE LOTS.
WE DON'T EVEN DO 60 FOOT WIDE LOTS REALLY ANYMORE.
AND THE BUYERS SEEM TO BE THE SAME.
THEY'RE LOOKING FOR SMALL YARD, SOMETHING THEY DON'T HAVE TO MAINTAIN OR COMMON YARD MAINTENANCE.
BUT IT IS A MIX OF ALL TYPES OF BUYERS PROFESSIONALS, RETIREES, YOUNG NEW FAMILIES, FIRST HOUSES, SOMETIMES SECOND HOUSES IN THIS AREA.
SO WE SEE A MIX ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE BOARD, BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE FROM PREVIOUS CASES TONIGHT THAT GOING FROM 80 FOOT TO 75 IS A PROBLEM. NOW WE'RE TALKING 40 FOOT.
AND THIS I KNOW WE'VE OKAYED 50 FOOT OUT IN THAT AREA BEFORE.
I'M FROM CHICAGO, VERY WELL ACCUSTOMED TO 40 FOOT LOTS.
MY MAMA COULDN'T HOLLER AT MY DAD WITH HALF THE NEIGHBORHOOD KNOWING, SO I JUST CAN'T SEE IT.
BUT YEAH, IT'S REALLY MARKET DRIVEN AND THAT'S JUST SEEMS TO BE WHAT IS WANTED TODAY.
THERE'S IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
THERE'S 10,000 PLUS 80 FOOT WIDE LOTS AVAILABLE.
OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, MR. WEINBERG? YEAH, JUST JAKE, THIS IS A GATED COMMUNITY.

SECOND I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND BY MISTER GOOD.
ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
OH, I'LL JUST TAKE IT FROM HERE, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
THE APPLICANT IS TWO TREE ISLAND APARTMENTS, LLC, ROBERT COMBO, AND THE REPRESENTATIVE IS BSC CONSULTANTS AND STEWART BUCHANAN AND ALLIANCE COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE.
THE SITE IS APPROXIMATELY 7.02 ACRES.
ZONING IS EXISTING ZONING OF TEN SINGLE TWO AND FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, AND THE FUTURE LAND USE IS PSP PUBLIC SEMIPUBLIC USE AND WHICH IS RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE USE.
SO THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A SMALL SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
THE AMENDMENT IS FROM THE PUBLIC SEMIPUBLIC.
OPEN SPACE USE TO HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL USE.
THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT WILL PROMOTE THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, WELFARE AND ESTHETICS OF THE REGION BY PROVIDING A HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF ARTERIAL ROADS AND NEAR TO THE COLLEGE RETAIL AND EMPLOYMENT CENTERS.
THIS LAND USE IS AN APPROPRIATE BUFFER TO THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS TO THE SOUTH, AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL FOR CP 23 0018. AND I AM HERE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU, MR. FRAZIER. DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? I HAVE A QUESTION. MR..
I'M JUST CONFUSED AT THE CURRENT ZONING.
IT HAS TEN SINGLE, TWO AND MULTIFAMILY ALL ON THE SAME SITE, ALL ON THE SEVEN ACRE SITE.
WELL, NO, IT HAS A LAND USE, TWO DIFFERENT LAND USES.
WE'RE LOOKING AT THE LAND USE RIGHT NOW.
I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY. THAT'S OKAY.
SO THE LAND USE IS THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF LAND USE ON THE ONE SITE.
AGAIN, I INHERITED THIS FROM FROM A LEAVING.
I WISH I HAD THE LITTLE THINGY THERE.
UM, YOU'LL SEE THE DIFFERENT TWO DIFFERENT COLORS ON THE PROPERTY.
SO THERE'S THE GREEN IN THE SHADING THERE AND THEN THE BLUE.
OKAY. SO THOSE ACTUALLY THOSE DIFFERENT TRIANGLES SHOULD BE A DIFFERENT COLOR.
OKAY. THANK YOU. SO SO THE MAJORITY OF THE SITE IS WHAT WHAT IS THE MAJORITY OF THE MAJORITY IS PSP.
PSP THIS DOESN'T WORK HERE BUT THAT'S OKAY.
IF YOU LOOK AT THIS MAP ITSELF, YOU HAVE INDUSTRIAL REALLY TO THE RIGHT YOU HAVE ALL OF THE COLLEGE IS TO THE RIGHT, WHICH IS THE EAST ALONG TREE LINED BOULEVARD, NORTH IS COMMERCIAL AND TO THE WEST IS MULTIFAMILY.
IT'S HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY.
SO THIS PARTICULAR CORNER WOULD BECOME MORE COMPATIBLE WITH THE GENERAL LAND USE IN THE AREA.
OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? SEEING NONE WHEN THE REPRESENTATIVE.
[01:50:02]
MCKINNON. THANK YOU.MY WORKING MAILING ADDRESS IS P.O.
BOX 1545, TITUSVILLE, FLORIDA.
I'M HERE TONIGHT REPRESENTING MR. CAMPBELL. OUR BSC IS OUR SITE CIVIL ENGINEER, WHICH IS A LOCAL ENGINEER.
I'M SURE YOU'VE WORKED WITH IN THE PAST.
I SEE THAT THE BOARD HAS A FULL AGENDA, HAD A FULL AGENDA TONIGHT.
SO I'M GOING TO BE SHORT AND THEN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
THE FIRST THING I'D LIKE TO SAY IS IF YOU LOOK AT THE THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP OVER THERE.
SO THE BLUE THAT SAYS PSP WITH THE YELLOW LINE THROUGH IT THAT HAS THE MULTIFAMILY ZONING, THE SQUARISH PIECE THAT'S GREEN WITH THE RECREATION THAT'S IN THE MIDDLE.
THE COLLEGE FOUNDATION SOLD US THAT TO MAKE THE PROJECT COMPLETE.
AND SO THE COLLEGE ACTUALLY SOLD US THAT GREEN, SQUARISH PIECE.
THE TWO BLUE TRIANGLES ARE NOT PART OF THIS PROJECT.
THEY ARE ENCLAVES THAT HAVE BEEN ENCLAVES FOR OVER 80 YEARS.
I'M NOT SURE AT SOME POINT IF THE COLLEGE WILL BUY THEM OR NOT.
HOWEVER, THOSE HAVE BEEN EXISTING ENCLAVES FOR OVER 80 YEARS.
THERE'S A LITTLE PIECE THAT'S RECREATION, OPEN SPACE.
AS STAFF ALREADY MENTIONED, THE ACREAGE IS 7.02 ACRES.
THE CITY COUNCIL REZONED IT TO EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR NOW.
WE RECEIVED 100% OCCUPANCY IN 30 DAYS AFTER 30 DAYS.
IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO SWING BY AND LOOK AT THE EXISTING APARTMENT COMPLEX, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE RARE OCCURRENCES WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE SOMETHING WE'RE REQUESTING BECAUSE WE BUILT IT ACROSS THE STREET.
OUR MAKEUP OF THE POPULATION, OUR TENANTS INCLUDE EIGHT NURSES, TEN PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS, SIX POSTAL WORKERS, ONE OF YOUR POLICE OFFICERS, AND A BUNCH OF COLLEGE STUDENTS WHO CAN RIDE THEIR BIKES ACROSS THE STREET TO WORK.
YOU'RE THERE, INCLUDING THE FIRE ACADEMY.
SO WE'VE ALREADY APPROACHED THE FIRE ACADEMY AND SAID, WE'LL BE HAPPY TO GIVE YOU A IF YOU WANT SOME SORT OF A PACKAGE DEAL FOR YOUR CADETS WHILE THEY'RE WHILE THEY'RE ATTENDING THE ACADEMY, WE'LL BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH YOU.
AGAIN, AS WE MENTIONED, WE'VE GOT DIRECT ACCESS TO THE COLLEGE CAMPUS, WHICH IS GOING TO BE FANTASTIC FOR INTERNAL TRIP CAPTURE SO STUDENTS DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE FROM ANOTHER PART OF THE CITY ON YOUR LOCAL ROADS TO GET TO CLASS.
THEY CAN WALK ACROSS THE PARKING LOT, WHICH PROVIDES REDUCTION OF OUR STUDENTS ON OUR ROADWAYS.
I MENTIONED THE FIRE ACADEMY IS NEXT DOOR.
YOU'LL SEE IT IN THE STAFF REPORT.
THEY TALK ABOUT THE IDENTICAL REZONINGS THAT SIMILAR REZONINGS NEARBY, PROVIDES MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND IT HAS QUICK ACCESS TO A COLLECTOR ROADWAY. THE UTILITIES ARE EXISTING THE ROADWAY CAPACITY.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK STAFF FOR THEIR TIMELY REVIEW AND PROCESSING OF OUR APPLICATION.
THEY'VE BEEN GREAT TO WORK WITH.
I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
THANK YOU. DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? MR. GORDON? YEAH.
RIGHT. AND IT'S A GREAT, GREAT LOOKING PROJECT.
AND THIS IS GOING TO BE SIMILAR TO THAT.
IS THAT YOUR VISION FOR THIS? EXACTLY THE SAME UNITS.
IN FACT IF YOU IF YOU EVER WANT TO VISIT IT THE WE HAVE ONSITE LIVING MANAGEMENT BARBARA.
I WOULD JUST STOP BY ANYTIME YOU WANT.
ASK FOR BARBARA. AND HOW MANY UNITS DO YOU PLAN TO PUT ON THIS SITE? 140 140 ON THIS SITE.
OKAY. OUR OTHER ONE IS BIGGER.
RIGHT, RIGHT. IT'S PRETTY HIGH TOO.
HOW MANY? HOW MANY STORIES IS IT? IT'S FOUR. FOUR STORIES.
IT'S JUST UNDER YOUR HEIGHT LIMIT.
THEY ALL HAVE WALK IN CLOSETS, GRANITE COUNTERTOPS.
YOU DON'T PAY TO CHARGE YOUR CAR.
WE HAVE CHARGING STATIONS AND WE DON'T CHARGE LIKE MOST APARTMENT COMPLEXES.
[01:55:01]
THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE THE APARTMENTS WHEN I GREW UP.
AND SO THIS WOULD BE RIGHT ON THE, ON THE ROADWAY.
YEAH THAT'S TREELINE AND THAT'S COLLEGE CAMPUS COMPLETELY SURROUNDING US.
EVEN THOUGH YOU SEE DIFFERENT FUTURE LAND USES.
THAT'S COLLEGE OWNED PROPERTY.
THE COLLEGE HAS US ON OTHER THREE SIDES.
THANK YOU. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, MR. OLSZEWSKI? THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
THANK YOU, SIR, FOR BEING WITH US AND FOR YOUR PRESENTATION AND FOR YOUR PREVIOUS PROJECT.
I DO BELIEVE IT ADDS VALUE TO THE COMMUNITY.
UM, FRANKLY SPEAKING, SIR, HOW MUCH OF A CONCERN IS THE SAN FILIPPO AND MALABAR CORRIDOR TO YOU AS YOU DEVELOP AND AS YOU HOPE TO SEEK 100% OCCUPANCY AND MOVE 140 PEOPLE MORE IN TO ADD TO THAT DAILY COMMUTE? WELL, THE ONE THING I WOULD THE ONE POINT I WOULD MENTION OUT TO YOU, SIR AND THE PREVIOUSLY THE THE CITY COUNCIL ACTUALLY REDUCED OUR TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEES BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER FOR THE CITY AT THE TIME RECOGNIZED THAT WHEN WE RENT A STUDENTS, THIS WAS WHEN ACROSS THE STREET, THIS IS EVEN CLOSER TO THE COLLEGE.
IN OTHER WORDS. THE THE TRAFFIC THAT'S PUT ON THE ROAD GENERATED BY THE COLLEGE GETS REDUCED.
NOW, I'M NOT GOING TO SAY WE'RE GOING TO RUN 100.
ALL COLLEGE STUDENTS WILL SNAP UP ALL 140 UNITS.
BUT WHAT I AM SAYING IS IT HELPS WITH THE TRAFFIC TO THE POINT THAT THE CITY COUNCIL AND YOUR OLD TRAFFIC ENGINEER RECOGNIZED THIS, AND HE ACTUALLY REDUCED OUR TRAFFIC IMPACT FEES BY 15% BECAUSE OF THAT TRIP REDUCTION.
AND WILL YOU TRAFFIC ALL SPILL OUT ON A TREE, OR WILL IT CUT ONTO SAN FILIPPO AS WELL? BOTH. YEAH. SO SO INTERESTING YOU MENTIONED THAT.
SO WHAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE DONE IS WE DO HAVE AN ENTRANCE AND EXIT OUT ONTO SAN FILIPPO, BUT WE CHANGED THE THE ARCHITECT SLIGHTLY MODIFIED THE DESIGN TO PROMOTE TREELAND.
AT SOME POINT, THAT INTERSECTION WILL GET SIGNALIZED.
WE KNOW IT, SO WE THOUGHT AHEAD.
WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO COME. I FIND THAT WISE.
YOU HAVE A PROJECT THERE, SO I'M SURE YOU ARE.
SO I DO FEEL THAT THIS PROJECT IS COMPATIBLE.
IT'S GOING TO MAKE YOU A MORE DESIRABLE PROPERTY IF THEY CAN GET TO AND FROM.
THANK YOU SIR. YEAH, WE DID SHIFT THE ENTRANCE ON TREELINE.
THINKING AHEAD ABOUT THE FUTURE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
SEEING NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, THE THE FLOOR IS NOW OPEN.
DOES ANYONE WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE? SEEING NONE IS BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD FOR A MOTION OR DISCUSSION.
YEAH. THIS IS THE IDEAL LOCATION FOR THIS TYPE OF PROJECT.
SO MOTION TO APPROVE CP 23 00018.
SECOND MOTION A SECOND BY MR. OLSHEVSKY. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
THE COMPANION CASE CPC 23 00010.
MADAM CHAIR, THIS IS THE CONTINUATION OF THE LAST PRESENTATION.
WE WE CHANGED THE LAND USE AND NOW WE WILL BE WE ARE FOLLOWING UP WITH THE REQUEST FOR THE CHANGE OF THE ZONING FOR CPC 23 000 TEN TO TREE LINED APARTMENTS, ROBERT CAMPBELL AND THE APPLICANT OR THE REPRESENTATIVES OR BRC CONSULTANTS AND STUART BUCHANAN.
THE LOCATION AGAIN IS AT TREELINE BOULEVARD SOUTHEAST AND SAN FILIPPO FILIPPO DRIVE SOUTHEAST.
IT'S APPROXIMATELY SEVEN ACRES.
THE ZONING IS ONLY ONE THIS TIME.
[02:00:06]
TO ACCOMMODATE THAT ZONING.SO WE'RE ASKING FOR THE AMENDMENT FROM THE TEN TO CHANGE IT TO AN 20, WHICH ALLOWS FOR 20 UNITS PER ACRE AS OPPOSED TO THE TEN UNITS PER ACRE, AND ONLY ALLOWS FOR MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL IN THIS DISTRICT.
THIS ALLOWS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF MORE AFFORDABLE UNITS FOR WORKFORCE AND STUDENT HOUSING, WHICH IS CLOSE TO THE COLLEGE AND MAJOR TRANSPORTATION CORRIDORS, SO STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR CPC 20 300 TEN.
AND AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS MAP, THE SURROUNDING LAND USE IS MUCH MORE INTENSE AND IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THAT. I'M SORRY, ZONING.
IT'S MORE COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING ZONING.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. FREDERICK. DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? SEEING NONE. DO YOU WANT TO ADD SOMETHING? STUART BUCHANAN THE ONLY THING I WOULD DO IS EXACTLY WHAT STAFF SAYS.
YOU CAN SEE FROM THE ZONING MAP.
WE'RE SURROUNDED BY MULTIFAMILY 20 UNITS PER ACRE OR TEN UNITS PER ACRE OR NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL.
THANK YOU. I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? SEEING NONE WOULD ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE? THE FLOOR IS NOW CLOSED FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.
BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD FOR A MOTION OR DISCUSSION.
A MOTION TO APPROVE CPC 23 000 TEN.
SECOND. MOTION AND SECOND BY RASHEVSKY.
ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
THIS IS A TEXTURAL CHANGE TO AMENDMENT TO THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
066A3. AND IT SPECIFICALLY LET ME GET TO THIS.
THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT IS REQUESTING TO ALIGN TIMELINES REFERENCED IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE RELATED TO PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SUBMITTALS, WITH THE TIMELINES REQUIRED BY SECTION 166 .033 FLORIDA STATUTE, WHICH PROVIDES MUNICIPALITIES MORE APPROPRIATE AND REALISTIC TIMEFRAMES TO ENSURE APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED ARE COMPLETE AND ADEQUATELY REVIEWED BY ALL NECESSARY CITY DEPARTMENTS.
THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN.
ALL SUPPLEMENTAL DOCUMENTS REQUIRES A MORE COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW, AND DEPARTMENTS ARE CHALLENGED WITH MEETING TIMELINES SET FORTH BY THE ZONING CODE FOR PUD APPLICATIONS, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE QUANTITY OF DEVELOPMENT PERMIT APPLICATIONS RECEIVED BY THE DEPARTMENT AND CURRENT STAFF CAPACITY.
SO STAFF RECOMMENDS CASE TEXTUAL CHANGE T 20 3-00028 FOR APPROVAL.
AND TO JUST GIVE YOU ALL A LITTLE CONTEXT.
CURRENTLY, STAFF HAS TO TURN THESE PLANS AROUND WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 45 DAYS WITH THE AMOUNT OF APPLICATIONS WE RECEIVE WEEKLY.
AND THEY ARE ALL IN DIFFERENT LEVELS OF APPROVALS.
THERE'S PRE APPS. THERE'S THERE'S ZONING.
MOST OF THEM THE THE THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE WHICH CONSISTS OF ALL OF THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS HERE IN THE CITY AS WELL AS THE LAND DEVELOPMENT DIVISION, ONLY HAS A VERY SHORT TIME TO REVIEW THESE BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN MEMORIALIZED WITHIN YOUR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
BACK IN 2019, THE FLORIDA STATUTE CHANGED TO TO CHALLENGE MOST LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO HAVE THESE REVIEWS DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER, BUT GIVING A MUCH BETTER AVAILABILITY OF TIME.
AND THEY DID THIS ALSO WITH THE BUILDING CODE.
SO FOR INSTANCE, THE BUILDING DEPARTMENTS, THEY NEED TO HAVE THEIR REVIEWS DONE WITHIN 30 DAYS, AND SO DOES LAND DEVELOPMENT DIVISIONS OR GROWTH MANAGEMENT DIVISIONS.
SO BEING ABLE TO TO ELONGATE THE TIME FRAME IS GOING TO ALLOW STAFF TO BE ABLE TO.
AND WHEN I SAY STAFF I MEAN THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS ALSO PUBLIC WORKS UTILITIES SURVEY IS GOING TO GIVE US A BETTER A CHANCE TO DO A BETTER REVIEW AND PROVIDE YOU THE DECISION MAKING BODY WITH A MORE INFORMATIONAL REPORT.
[02:05:09]
NOT THAT WE HAVE BEEN FAILING IN THE PAST, BUT IT HAS TO GO SO QUICK THAT WE ARE.IT'S RETENTION OF STAFF IS DIFFICULT.
I HAVE BEEN REVIEWING THE PROCESS FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS, AND WE ARE LOOKING AT WAYS TO STREAMLINE TO MAKE IT MORE ACCOMMODATING FOR STAFF AND THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY.
THERE ARE MANY THINGS WITHIN OUR CODE.
WE'RE DOING A HEAVY LIFT ON IT THAT CONFUSES AND FRUSTRATES THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY AS WELL AS STAFF, AND SO WE ARE LOOKING AT WAYS OF REALLY MAKING THIS CHANGE BETTER FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY.
SO WILL THEY GIVE US A BETTER LIKE HISTORY, LIKE FOR INSTANCE, LIKE SOME OF THESE CASES, THERE'S A THERE THERE IS A HISTORY TO TO TO A LOT OF THE CASES LIKE FOR INSTANCE, I CAN GO BACK AND HAVE STACKS OF, OF CASES WHERE THERE'S A HISTORY.
SO WILL YOU ALL BE ABLE TO TIE SOME OF THAT HISTORY, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAVE NEW BOARD MEMBERS.
SO WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING THAT TIE INTO THAT, IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE AS FAR AS, AS FAR AS YOUR WE WORK FOR YOU. OKAY.
AND THIS IS WHAT I CONSTANTLY SAY TO MY STAFF EVERY DAY WE WORK FOR YOU.
AND THESE ARE YOU HAVE A LOT OF REALLY GOOD CODES AND A BRAND NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN PLACE.
AND SO IF WE CAN HELP AND ASSIST THIS BOARD, AS WELL AS OUR CITY COUNCIL IN MAKING MORE INFORMED DECISIONS BY PROVIDING A LITTLE BIT MORE HISTORY OF THE PRODUCT IN FRONT OF YOU, WE WE'D BE HAPPY TO IF THAT IS SOMETHING YOU WANT US TO TO ADD INTO THE I MEAN, THIS DOESN'T REALLY AFFECT THIS, BUT IT WOULD ALLOW US TO BE ABLE TO DO A LITTLE BIT MORE RESEARCH THAT YOU ASKING FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME.
I'D BE HAPPY TO ADD THAT TO MY LIST I'VE BEEN MAKING ALL NIGHT.
THANK YOU. MR. FRAZIER. DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF, MR. RESHEVSKY? THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
THANK YOU, MA'AM, FOR YOUR PRESENTATION AND FOR YOUR EFFORTS IN ESTABLISHING EFFICIENCIES.
I WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT OPPORTUNITIES EXIST FOR YOUR DEPARTMENT TO CUT STRAIGHT TO IT FISCALLY, OFFSET SOME OF THE TRAFFIC. I'LL USE AN EXAMPLE.
RIGHT. MORE AND MORE BUILDING MORE AND MORE PERMITS.
WHATEVER BUILDING OPERATES IS AN ENTERPRISE FUND.
THEY FILLED UP THEIR WHOLE FACILITY.
THEY HAD THEY WITHIN THEIR DEPARTMENT NOW HAVE ENOUGH MONEY BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE PAYING MORE AND MORE FEES TO GO GET THE PLACE IN WINN DIXIE TO GO HIRE MORE PEOPLE, WHAT HAVE YOU. YOU.
I'VE SEEN YOUR ACCOMMODATIONS.
IT'S NOT EVEN FULL WITH PEOPLE.
SO HEADCOUNT, THIS, THAT OR THE OTHER.
HOW DO WE GET SOME REVENUE DIRECTED BACK TOWARDS YOUR DEPARTMENT SPECIFICALLY? IS THERE ANY TODAY THROUGH THE FEES THAT DEVELOPERS PAY, IS THERE OPPORTUNITY TO TO GET FEES.
SO OUR DEVELOPERS BUT I'M SEEKING SUCH OPPORTUNITIES.
THANK YOU. THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION.
THIS IS MY LESS THAN THIRD MONTH HERE, BUT I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS A LONG TIME.
WE DID GO THROUGH SOME FEE EXPANSIONS AS FAR AS THE APPLICATIONS AND THE FEES.
RETENTION OF STAFF HAS BEEN DIFFICULT, AND AND IT NOT NECESSARILY HAS TO BE BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT WHEEL THAT STAFF IS ON AS FAR AS THESE APPLICATIONS.
BUT IT'S ALSO, YOU KNOW, THE MARKET, THE PRIVATE INDUSTRY CAN OFFER MORE, YOU KNOW, AND REMOTE WORK.
AND AND SO WE TRY TO BE COMPETITIVE IF THAT'S YOUR IF THAT'S YOUR QUESTION.
MANAGEMENT HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE OF OF WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO HELP TO ASSIST GROWTH MANAGEMENT IN STABILIZING ONE OF THE WHICH YOU WILL SEE ON THE COUNCIL AGENDA TOMORROW NIGHT, IS TO DO SOME PIGGYBACK CONTRACTS WITH SOME PLANNING GROUPS OR PLANNING CONSULTANTS THAT WE, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH AND HAVE WORKED WITH IN THE PAST.
AND THEY WILL TAKE ON SOME OF THE BIG BULK REVIEWS, LIKE THE PODS AND THE PLANTS.
[02:10:10]
REVIEWS AND PROVIDE US WITH MORE COMMENTS AND OVERSIGHT ON A LOT OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS.SO SO JUST AS A QUICK FOLLOW UP TODAY, AS IT STANDS, DO YOU KEEP ANY OF THE REVENUE ASSOCIATED WITH THESE PERMIT FEES WITHIN YOUR DEPARTMENT TO HELP OFFSET YOUR COSTS? NO, THE REVENUES ARE GENERALLY THERE TO ASSIST WITH THE ADVERTISING, THE PUBLIC INTEREST ADVERTISING THAT WE HAVE TO DO BEFORE EVERY SINGLE MEETING. RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, THE NEWSPAPER IS NOT CHEAP AND WE HAVE TO PUT OUT MAILERS.
AND SO A LOT OF THAT REVENUE GOES TOWARDS THAT.
IT'S REALLY NOT TOWARD STAFF TIME.
THANK YOU FOR THIS INFORMATION.
I'M TRYING TO THOROUGHLY UNDERSTAND I WANT THIS FOR YOU AND YOUR STAFF, BUT I WANT FURTHER.
SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
MS.. FRAZIER IN YOUR IN YOUR YOUR GENERAL COMMENTS.
YOU STATE THAT YOU'RE REQUESTING A LINE TIMELINES REFERENCE IN OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE CHAPTER 185 TO THE TIME LINE REQUIRED BY SECTION 166 .033 OF THE FLORIDA STATUTES.
AND THEN IN OUR CHAPTER 185 CODE, YOU HAVE ALL THE REFERENCES TO SPECIFIC TIMES JUST CROSSED OUT WITH NO NO REPLACEMENT OF WHAT THE NEW TIME LIMITS ARE. WHAT ARE WHAT IS THE TIME LINE REQUIRED BY FLORIDA STATUTE SECTION 166 .033? WELL, I DO HAVE IT IN FRONT OF ME, BUT LET ME LET ME START BY STATING THAT IT IS UNUSUAL AND NOT STANDARD TO HAVE PROCESS TIMELINES MEMORIALIZED WITHIN A LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
THAT IS, THAT IS A DIFFICULT CROSS TO BEAR FOR MOST MUNICIPALITIES, AND IT HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE THUS HERE IN THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
SO IT'S UNUSUAL, I UNDERSTAND THAT, I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT WHAT IS THE TIMELINE REQUIRED BY THE FLORIDA STATUTE? THERE YOU GO. SO IF YOU GO TO THE STATUTE, IT BASICALLY GIVES 30 DAYS RIGHT AFTER RECEIVING AN APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF A DEVELOPMENT PERMIT OR DEVELOPMENT ORDER.
WE AREN'T STRIVING TO TAKE 30 DAYS.
THIS IS THE EXACT SAME VERBIAGE THAT IS GIVEN FOR THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU RECALL, YOU PROBABLY DON'T.
BACK IN THE 90S, THEY DID THIS TO THE SAINT JOHNS RIVER MANAGEMENT MANAGEMENT DISTRICT.
THEY HAD TO COME BACK WITH COMMENTS WITHIN FOUR WEEKS.
IT'S A IT'S A VERY STANDARD TYPE OF TIMELINE.
THAT IS CERTAINLY NOT SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO STRIVE FOR, BUT AT LEAST GIVES STAFF THE ABILITY FOR BREATHING ROOM AND TO DO A BETTER, REALISTIC REVIEW OF WHAT'S IN FRONT OF THEM.
SO IN ESSENCE, WHAT YOU'RE YOU'RE IMPLYING IS THAT THE FLORIDA STATUTE, THE TIMELINE SET FORTH IN FLORIDA STATUTE, IS IN EXCESS OF THE TIMELINE THAT WE HAVE STATED IN CHAPTER 185.
IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT SIR.
OKAY. THANK YOU. WHO WERE THE QUESTIONS, MA'AM? YEP. JUST VERY BRIEFLY, TO FURTHER UNDERSTAND MR. WEINBERG'S POINT, WHAT WE'RE AT WITH OUR TIMELINE IN OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE THAT HAS BEEN MEMORIALIZED IS LESS THAN 30 DAYS.
WELL, IT GIVES US 45 DAYS TO GO TO YOU.
OKAY. OKAY. SO IT'S NOT JUST THE FIRST COMMENT.
SO WHEN WHEN YOU GET IN AN APPLICATION AND IT'S COMPLETE AND YOU BEGIN YOUR REVIEW.
OKAY. IN THE FLORIDA STATUTE ALLOWS YOU 30 DAYS TO SUBMIT COMMENTS RIGHT BACK TO THE DEVELOPER.
THAT IS CORRECT. HERE IN IN THIS PARTICULAR ONE, IT'S SAYING THAT WE HAVE 45 DAYS BASICALLY TO GET EVERYTHING TO THE NEXT BOARD MEETING.
SO YOU WOULD NEED THE COMMENTS BACK, BACK.
WE HAVE TO GET THE COMMENTS THERE.
EVERYBODY NEEDS TO HAVE EVERYTHING PUT BACK TOGETHER.
IT REALLY DOES NOT LEAVE ROOM FOR A REALISTIC TIMELINE IN DETERMINING COMPLETENESS.
[02:15:06]
AND I'VE BEEN DOING THIS A LONG TIME.THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU DO IN A DAY.
WELL, YOU CAN IF YOU'VE GOT A WHOLE EIGHT HOURS.
SO WE HAVE TO GET IT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BECAUSE OF THE VERBIAGE IN HERE.
I MEAN, IT BASICALLY STATES, HOLD ON.
NEXT PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD WITHIN THE MONTH THAT THEY SUBMITTED THE APPLICATION.
SO. BUT IT'S UP TO YOU IF THAT'S HOW YOU WOULD LIKE IT TO CONTINUE TO BE.
WELL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE ONE, MISS FRAZIER.
OF COURSE. ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR MORE TIME THAN THE STATE ALLOWS? NO MA'AM, NO, I AM NOT.
I AM STATING THAT WHAT'S IN THE EXISTING CODE ARE TIMELINES AND STRICT DATES OF RETURN THAT ARE NOT REALLY REALISTIC.
IN ORDER TO DO A GOOD REVIEW OF ESPECIALLY WE'RE TALKING PODS AND NEXT WE'RE TALKING PLATTS.
WHEREAS THE STATE STATUTE GIVES YOU 30 DAYS TO BRING BACK COMMENTS.
SO YOU HAVE 30 DAYS TO DO ONE ROUND OF COMMENTS.
THE STATUTE ALSO STATES THAT YOU CAN DO TWO ROUNDS OF COMMENTS, BUT IF THERE'S A THIRD ROUND, THEN YOU REALLY NEED TO ASK THE APPLICANT FOR A MEETING.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE DO ANYWAY.
WE WANT THE APPLICANT TO COME IN AND WONDER WHY.
OKAY, WE'VE ALREADY DONE TWO ROUNDS OF COMMENTS.
HOW CAN WE COME TO A MEETING OF THE MINDS AND REALLY MAKE OURSELVES, YOU KNOW, COME UP WITH A GOOD PLAN? THEN WHERE ARE WE? WHERE'S THE STICKING POINT RIGHT BEFORE IT THEN GETS APPROVED OR IT IS BROUGHT TO THE DECISION MAKING BODIES? SO NO, WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR MORE TIME THAN THE STATE IS GIVING US.
WE'RE ASKING TO FOLLOW THE STATE RULES.
THE FLOOR IS NOW OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.
WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE? MR. BUCHANAN? THANK YOU, MR. BUCHANAN. MY WORKING MAILING ADDRESS IS P.O.
BOX 1545, TITUSVILLE, FLORIDA.
IN REFERENCE TO WHAT MRS. FRAZIER SAID, I CAN TELL YOU AT BREVARD COUNTY, I DID RAISE THE FEES, AND I ACTUALLY GOT THE SUPPORT OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING COMMUNITY BECAUSE BY RAISING THE FEES, IT LET ME OUTSOURCE REVIEWS FOR SITE PLANNING, JUST LIKE MRS. FRAZIER IS TALKING ABOUT.
AND IN THE COUNTY COMMISSION THAT WAS OUT.
THAT WAS ANTI FEE AND ANTI RAISING THE TAXES.
SO INSTEAD OF PAYING 3500 I'M GOING TO PAY 4500.
BUT NOW YOU GET TO SEND IT TO AN OUTSIDE ENGINEERING COMPANY TO DO THE PLAN.
THEN I CAME HERE AND ONE OF THE VERY FIRST THINGS I DID WAS EXACTLY WHAT MRS. FRAZIER IS DOING.
THAT'S EXACTLY. I BELIEVE YOU HAVE AN RFP COMING OUT, AND I FULLY SUPPORT THAT.
THE IT STAFF IS CONSTANTLY GETTING CALLS ON ALL KINDS OF THINGS FROM RESIDENTS, EVERYTHING FROM SHEDS TO POOLS, YOU KNOW, AND AND WHEN YOU OUTSOURCE IT AND YOU GIVE IT TO A PRIVATE ENGINEER WHO ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS CONCENTRATE AND THEY ALL HAVE TO DEAL WITH DAILY.
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE COME IN OFF THE STREET ALL THE TIME.
I'VE DONE IT, RAISED THE FEES SO YOU CAN FUND THE THIRD PARTY.
ANY FURTHER COMMENTS FROM THE.
SORRY, I WAS ONE OF THE LAST ITEMS, SO I FIGURED I'D HANG AROUND FOR THIS ONE.
I UNDERSTAND THE INTENT TO TRY AND MEET THAT 30 DAYS AND EVERYONE'S GOT GOOD INTENTIONS.
MY EXPERIENCE ON THIS SIDE OF THE FENCE IS IF YOU HAVE 30 DAYS, YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE 30 DAYS.
[02:20:03]
YOU KNOW, NOT THAT LONG AGO IT WAS IF WE MADE A SUBMITTAL BY THE FIRST OF THE MONTH, YOU WERE ON THE FOLLOWING MONTH'S AGENDA, AND THEN YOU WENT TO THE THE MONTH AFTER THAT.COUNCIL. RIGHT. SO IF I TURNED IN JANUARY 1ST, I WENT TO THE FEBRUARY 1ST, P AND Z AND THEN THE, THE, THE MARCH COUNCIL MEETING. IF MY PACKAGE WAS COMPLETE AND HAD EVERYTHING IN IT.
RIGHT. I GET THAT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO THAT CHANGED TO, HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT? CAN WE ADD TWO EXTRA WEEKS ON THE FRONT END? SO INSTEAD OF SUBMITTING BY THE FIRST, CAN YOU SUBMIT BY THE 15TH? IF YOU DO THAT, WE'RE GOING TO CUT IT OFF ON THE BACK END.
YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO THE SAME P AND Z AND COUNCIL IN THE SAME MONTH.
SO NO ONE'S REALLY LOSING ANY TIME, BUT IT'S GIVING STAFF SOME ADDITIONAL TIME.
IT'S JUST MY CONCERN IS AND I GET THAT YOU'RE WORKING WITH A LIMITED STAFF RIGHT NOW TOO.
SO YOUR HANDS ARE A LITTLE BIT TIED AND THERE'S THERE'S CHALLENGES THERE.
SO IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE IT SAYS RIGHT BASED ON CURRENT STAFF CAPACITY.
SO IF WE'RE GOING TO OUTSOURCE IT, IS IT DO WE NEED TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL TWO MORE.
AND NOT THAT TWO WEEKS BREAKS ANYBODY'S BANK.
LIKE PLEASE LET ME BE CLEAR THAT I GET THAT.
BUT DO WE REALLY NEED TO CHANGE ALL OF THOSE CRITERIA AGAIN AND GO THROUGH THAT EFFORT IF WE'RE GOING TO BE ADDING STAFF, WHETHER IT'S OUTSOURCED OR NOT? TO. I MEAN, IF WE'RE ADDING STAFF BY OUTSOURCING IT, WHY DO WE NEED TO MAKE THE TIMEFRAME SHORTER? OR IS THERE GOING TO BE SOMETHING WRITTEN INTO THE DOCUMENT THAT SAYS REVIEWS WILL BE COMPLETED AND PROVIDED BY 30 DAYS? AND THE ONLY REASON I TRULY CARE IS BECAUSE WE HAVE TIME FRAMES THAT WE'VE GOT TO WORK AGAINST TOO.
SO IF I MAKE A SUBMITTAL ON THIS DATE, I NEED TO BE ABLE TO TELL OUR GUYS, HEY, WE SHOULD BE ON THIS NEXT AGENDA MEETING, AND THEN PLEASE KNOW THAT 100% OF THAT ONUS IS ON US TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A COMPLETE PACKAGE.
IF I GIVE YOU FOUR OF THE TEN ITEMS, I'M NOT GOING TO ANYBODY'S PUBLIC HEARING AND I SHOULDN'T BE.
AND JUST AS MISS FRAZIER SAID, YOU KNOW, IF WE KEEP DOING THAT, BANGING OUR HEADS AGAINST THE WALL, WE SHOULD BE COMING DOWN AND SITTING IN AND HAVING A MEETING WITH STAFF AND FIGURING OUT WHY. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THE FULL INTENT AND NOT REALLY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, BUT THAT WAY I CAN JUST REPORT IT BACK AND ADJUST OUR SCHEDULES AND TIMEFRAMES ACCORDINGLY FOR HOW WE'RE PLANNING FOR SUBMITTAL DATES AND DESIGN TIMEFRAMES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
WHEN IS THE PROPOSED RFP PROPOSED TO GO OUT? OH, THAT IS THAT IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING IN ADDITION TO WHAT I HAD STATED BEFORE.
THE RFP, THOUGH, WILL BE COMING OUT IN THE NEW YEAR, AND IT WILL BE CITYWIDE AND INCLUDING SO THAT ALL OF OUR DEPARTMENTS AND DIVISIONS CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF CONTINUING SERVICE CONTRACTS, BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO PROCUREMENT, BUT IT JUST MAKES BETTER SENSE FOR THE FOR THE CITY.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? IT. THE FLOOR IS NOW CLOSED FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS AND BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD.
DO WE HAVE A MOTION OR DISCUSSION? MOTION TO APPROVE T 23 0008 WITH THE CONDITION THAT THE APPROVALS REQUIRED UNDER THE SECTION 166 .033 OF FLORIDA STATUTES NOT BE EXCEEDED.
DO I HAVE A SECOND? FORGIVE ME, BUT IS THAT REDUNDANT, SIR? I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE THE MOTION.
RIGHT. SO THE CONDITION IS THAT WE DON'T BREAK THE STATUTE.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M NOT MISSING ANYTHING.
WE'D BE RE CODIFYING WITHIN OUR PALM BAY CODE THAT WE ARE GOING TO.
WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW THE FLORIDA STATUTE.
IF THIS AMENDMENT WERE TO GET PASSED BY COUNCIL, THAT'S WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.
DO WHAT YOU LIKE, BUT THAT'S IT.
I'M JUST WONDERING IF WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF OURSELVES, IF WE'RE GOING TO MAYBE ALLEVIATE SOME OF THIS WITH SOME OTHER, WITH SOME HELP FROM THIRD PARTIES THAT.
MAYBE IN ANOTHER COUPLE, ANOTHER FEW MONTHS.
I DON'T KNOW. JUST THROW THAT OUT THERE FOR DISCUSSION.
I'VE BEEN THINKING THAT AS WELL.
[02:25:04]
A COUNCIL OR A FEW MEMBERS OF COUNCIL THAT WANTED TO KIND OF FORGIVE MY EVALUATION HERE, BUT OVERSTEP THE THE COUNCIL AND MANAGER FORM OF GOVERNMENT AND GOVERN FROM THE DAIS IN THE FORM OF CREATING THESE THESE TIMELINES SO THAT THE DEPARTMENT WOULD HAVE TO MEET THEM RATHER THAN ENCOURAGING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENCOURAGE THE DEPARTMENT MANAGER TO GET STAFFING.IT'S A IT'S AN OVERSTEP FROM OUR FORM OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
BUT I AM REALLY HESITANT TO WANT TO TO LIFT OFF RIGHT BEFORE A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL BECAUSE TO THE POINT, WILL IT ONLY BE, HEY, ENGINEERING FIRM, YOU JUST GOT TO MEET WITH STATUTORY STATUTORILY NECESSARY? OR WOULD OUR PROPOSALS HAVE MORE ROBUSTNESS BEHIND THEM IF YOU SAID, HEY, NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE TO DO FLORIDA STATUTE, BUT WE ACTUALLY HAVE A REALLY STRICT TIMELINE IN OUR CITY, WOULD THAT MAKE THEM MORE AGGRESSIVE AND MAKE THEM WORK WORK HARDER FOR PALM BAY WHEN THEY HAVE OUR BUSINESS? TO YOUR POINT? MR.. GOOD. SO I'M REALLY CONFLICTED IN THAT WAY TOO, SIR, BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE OUR CURRENT PROPOSAL.
THAT'S JUST A TOUGH HUMP TO GET OVER.
I THINK I'M OVER IT, BUT I'M HESITANT AS WELL, SIR.
SO I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU SHARING, MADAM CHAIR.
BEFORE BEFORE THE MOTION GOES TO TO TO A VOTE, I NEED SOME CLARIFICATION ON THIS LEGAL CLARIFICATION BECAUSE THE CURRENT MOTION IS STATING TO APPROVE THE CURRENT REQUEST.
YET THE MOTION IS ASKING TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT WITH A CONDITION.
IS THE INTENT THAT THE CONDITION BE THAT THE LANGUAGE THAT THE MOTION MAKER HAS ASKED, IS THAT TO BE ADDED AND CODIFIED TO THE CODE SO THAT THE WORDING WILL BE, I MEAN, IN ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, THE THE FINISHED PRODUCT? ACTUALLY, I ACCIDENTALLY MOVED ON TO THE NEXT ITEM.
BUT LET ME GET TO THE LANGUAGE.
IS THE INTENT THAT THE LANGUAGE STATE FOR 185 06263A1, AND I GO THREE LINES DOWN THAT THE CITY SHALL PROVIDE THIS NOTIFICATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TIMELINE SET FORTH IN SECTION 160 603 FLORIDA STATUTES, AND THAT THE CITY SHALL NOT VIOLATE SECTION 166 033 FLORIDA STATUTES.
YOU SEE WHERE THAT'S THAT'S THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONDITION.
UM, AND THEN WHAT YOU HAVE NOW, WE DO HAVE WE DO HAVE WHAT WAS STATED AS A REDUNDANCY AND ALSO IS THIS THEN BECOMES AN ISSUE WHEN IT COMES TO CERTAIN LEGAL.
INTERPRETATIONS THAT COULD OPEN UP A WHOLE CAN OF WORMS IN THE FUTURE, AS OPPOSED TO THE LANGUAGE.
THIS STATUTE REQUIRES THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO FOLLOW IT AND OR BE SUBJECT TO PENALTIES.
IT'S. BUT THAT'S WHY I WANT TO WORRY, BECAUSE THE LANGUAGE OF THE MOTION WAS A CONDITION.
YOU'RE HERE TO RECOMMEND AN AMENDMENT TO THE CODE, TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
AND IF YOU DO WANT TO ADD SUCH A CONDITION, THEN IT HAS TO BE CLARIFIED THAT THAT CONDITION IS ACTUALLY ADDING TO THE LANGUAGE, TO THE VERBIAGE OF THE ORDINANCE ITSELF, SO THAT IT IS CLEAR SO THAT THE DRAFTER, WHEN IT ARRIVES AT CITY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL, THIS THIS BODY HAS RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE BEYOND WHAT WAS PRESENTED TO IT BY STAFF.
I JUST NEED TO GET THAT CLARIFICATION BEFORE IT GOES TO VOTE.
THANK YOU. MR. WEINBERG, WOULD YOU LIKE TO LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION, MISS FRAZIER? ARE THERE ANY PENALTIES BUILT INTO THE FLORIDA STATUTES TIMELINE? SORRY IF THEY WERE TO EXCEED THE TIMELINES IN THE FLORIDA STATUTE.
ARE THERE ANY RECOMMENDED PENALTIES FOR EXCEEDING THAT? NO, SIR. NO, I DIDN'T THINK SO.
MY MY CONCERN IS THIS WE'VE HAD YOU KNOW, THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FROM DEVELOPERS ABOUT ABOUT GETTING APPROVALS ON TIME, ABOUT HOLDING UP PROJECTS TO THE POINT WHERE I HAPPEN TO KNOW THAT THERE THERE ARE DEVELOPERS WHO JUST ABSOLUTELY AVOID COMING TO THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
IT'S JUST THIS IS WHAT THE FLORIDA STATUTE SAYS.
BUT HEY, IF YOU EXCEED THOSE, WELL, SO BE IT.
THAT'S WHY I ADDED THE CONDITION THAT WE DO NOT EXCEED THE TIMELINES IN THE FLORIDA STATUTES.
[02:30:09]
DAYS. FIVE DAYS.GET IT TO THE VERY NEXT COUNCIL MEETING.
GET IT TO THE VERY NEXT MEETING AFTER THEY SUBMIT AN APPLICATION.
DO YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY SUBMITS TO US APPLICATIONS THAT MEET ALL OUR CODES AND DO NOT NEED TO BE REVIEWED, AND YET WE GIVE THEM 30 DAYS TO COME BACK AND ADDRESS THEIR DEFICIENCIES.
WE'RE GIVING THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY 30 DAYS.
I'VE BEEN DOING THIS A LONG TIME.
DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY CONTINUOUSLY COMPLAINS.
I'VE BEEN PRIVATE AND I'VE BEEN PUBLIC.
THEY CONTINUOUSLY COMPLAIN THAT IT TAKES SO LONG FOR THEIR THEIR APPROVALS TO GET DONE.
AND YET IF YOU REALLY DO A CHRON OF THE WHOLE SYSTEM OF THE MINUTE, THEY SUBMIT AN APPLICATION AND THEY GET AN APPROVAL, IT IS THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY THAT TAKES THE 4 OR 5 SIX MONTHS BEFORE THEY REPLY.
AND YET WE'RE SAYING TO STAFF.
HOW MANY THINGS ARE ON YOUR YOUR AGENDA? 17 TONIGHT.
OKAY, OBVIOUSLY IT'S TWICE AS MUCH BECAUSE WE DID NOT MEET IN NOVEMBER AND I RECOGNIZE THAT.
BUT TYPICALLY YOU HAVE ABOUT TEN ITEMS ON THAT AGENDA.
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THOSE TEN ITEMS, HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU THINK THAT IT TAKES TO PREPARE FOR THOSE TEN ITEMS TO BE ADEQUATELY REVIEWED AND BROUGHT BEFORE THIS BOARD? THINK ABOUT IT.
AND YET WE ALLOW IN OUR CODE, THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY TO HAVE 30 DAYS TO COME UP WITH AND REPLY TO THE COMMENTS AND CORRECT THEIR DEFICIENCIES. BUT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ALLOW STAFF TO HAVE 30 DAYS TO REVIEW IT AND MAKE SURE THAT IT IS SUFFICIENT AND BROUGHT TO BE BROUGHT TO THIS, TO THIS BOARD OR TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
THEY ARE NOT STANDARD IN A CODE TO PUT IN TIMELINES, ESPECIALLY ONEROUS TIMELINES LIKE THIS.
AND SO I'M ASKING FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF THIS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION TO LISTEN TO THEIR STAFF AND THEIR STAFF NEED. AND THE RFP WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT'S COMING OUT IN JANUARY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY DEPARTMENT.
THESE ARE FOR CONTINUING SERVICES.
CONTRACTS CITYWIDE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SERVICING THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY IN MY IN MY DEPARTMENT, SO THAT ONE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OTHER, THAT I DIDN'T BRING IT UP.
SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS CLARIFIED TO YOU ALL SO YOU CAN MAKE A CORRECT DECISION.
CHAIR, IF I CAN JUST GO ANSWER THE QUESTION.
THAT WAS ONE 60 I JUST REVIEWED ONE 60 633.
UNTIL THEN, YOU REACH A POINT WHERE THE REMEDY IS NOT A PENALTY, BUT THE REMEDY IS IT'S DONE.
THE TIME IS UP. THE MATTER HAS TO BE PRESENTED FOR APPROVAL, FOR APPROVAL OR DENIAL.
SO THERE COULD BE THE YOU COULD HAVE INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS.
BUT THAT'S WHAT THE REMEDY IS.
UNDER THE STATUTE, YOU HAVE X AMOUNT OF TIME.
ONCE THE CLOCK IS UP, THE DEVELOPERS, THE REMEDY IS ACTUALLY THE DEVELOPER PRESENT.
THE DEVELOPER SAY, OH NO, NO, WE PROVIDED THAT AND IT'S NOW GOING TO COME DOWN TO THIS BOARD TO MAKE THE TO REVIEW IT AND MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION TO PRESENT IT UP TO THE CITY COUNCIL. SO THAT'S SO ADDING THAT ADDED LANGUAGE AT LEAST I WOULD ADVISE THAT THAT COULD POTENTIALLY OPEN THE DOOR TO CREATE CERTAIN CAUSES OF ACTION AGAINST THE CITY BY THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY, WHICH WOULD NOT NECESSARILY WHICH WOULD NOT BE NECESSARY, BECAUSE THE STATE STATUTE ALREADY CLEARLY ENUMERATES THAT THERE'S CERTAIN TIMELINES.
AND ONCE THE TIMELINE YOU REACHED THE END, THERE IS ALREADY A REMEDY THAT'S PRESENT.
[02:35:01]
THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.SO GOING FORWARD, DO WE? WHAT DO WE DO NOW? WELL, THE MOTION IS THE MOTION IS MADE.
AND YOU CAN YAY OR NAY WHETHER YOU TO ACCEPT THE CONDITION.
FIRST, I'D LIKE CLARIFICATION AS A CONDITION.
YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT WOULD SIMPLIFY THE THING.
I MEAN, THE SITUATION I THINK IF YOU KNOW ALL THE LANGUAGES WITH REFERENCING TIMELINES IN THE IN OUR CODE IS JUST DELETED SAYING WE HAVE TO MEET THE SECTION ONE 60 633 OF THE FLORIDA STATUTES.
WELL, LET'S PUT IN SECTION ONE 60 633 TIMELINES IN OUR IN OUR CODE.
IT WOULD CODIFY IT TO, TO TO COMPLY WITH THE FLORIDA STATUTES.
I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
OKAY. FOR FOR THAT'S THAT'S FINE.
THAT'LL BE YOUR DECISION TO MAKE.
JUST AS WHEN IT COMES TO LEGISLATIVE DRAFTING USUALLY THE I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT MOST, MOST OF THE TIMES WHEN A LOCAL ORDINANCE REFERS TO A STATE STATUTE OR A STATE REGULATION, THE ADDED CAVEAT IS THAT YOU REFER TO IT SO THAT YOU YOU MOVE FORWARD WITH WHAT THE LEGISLATURE HAS ADOPTED.
LEGISLATURE HAS A GREAT HABIT OF EVERY YEAR DECIDING TO CHANGE THEIR MIND AND KEEP CHANGING THINGS.
THEREFORE, WHEN THE STATE LEGISLATURE AMENDS IT, OUR CODE IS AUTOMATICALLY AMEND TALES.
BUT IF WE ADD WE IF WE ENUMERATE, THESE ARE GOING TO BE THE LIMITS AND THE STATUTE.
AND THEN WE BECOME INCONSISTENT WHERE WE HAVE AN INCONSISTENCY WITH WHAT THE STATE HAS REQUIRED.
THEY SEE THAT. THEY KNOW WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW IT.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S IT'S YOUR DECISION.
MR. WEINBERG, WOULD YOU LIKE TO CHANGE YOUR MOTION? LOOK, YOU KNOW, IT DEPENDS ON WHATEVER THE BOARD WANTS TO DO.
IT'S, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, IT'S I THINK IT'S JUST TOO VAGUE, FRANKLY.
SO, YOU KNOW, I'LL WITHDRAW MY, MY, MY MOTION AND LET THE BOARD DO WHAT THEY WILL.
MADAM CHAIR, WHAT WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF VIOLATING THE 45 DAYS TODAY? WHAT ARE THE WHAT'S THE RECOURSE? WHAT'S THE POSSIBLE RAMIFICATIONS? DOES THAT GIVE A DEVELOPER RECOURSE TO USE OUR OWN CODE AND ORDINANCES AGAINST US IN A COURT, AND TRY AND SEEK SOME SORT OF ACTIONS OR COMPENSATIONS? IN THEORY, THE THE REQUIREMENTS OF 160 603 WOULD ACTUALLY GOVERN.
SO IT'S SO YOU'RE GOING TO DEFER BACK TO ONE 6633.
SO DOES IT RENDER OUR ORDINANCE MOOT? I THINK IF THE STATE HAS STEPPED IN AND CAN CONFIRM THIS, BUT IF THE STATE HAS STEPPED INTO THIS MATTER AND NOW IS DETERMINED, THIS IS WHAT THE LEGISLATURE.
THE LEGISLATURE DEEMS WHAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CAN DO, THEN OUR OUR TIMEFRAMES, IF THEY GO BEYOND THE SCOPES THAT THE STATE PROVIDES, THEN THAT INCONSISTENCY THE STATE LAW WILL GOVERN.
NOW, WOULD WOULD A WOULD SOMEONE BE ABLE TO SEEK RECOURSE AGAINST THE CITY FOR VIOLATING THE CITY'S OWN CODE OF ORDINANCES? THE RECOURSES WE HIT THAT WE HIT ZERO OUR AND THE STATUTE STATES IT'S GOT TO GO TO IT'S GOT TO GO TO THE GOVERNING BODY.
WHAT ABOUT OUR ORDINANCE TODAY THAT SAYS THAT WE HAVE TO BE START TO FINISH IN THIS 45 DAYS? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT DOESN'T HAPPEN IF IT STARTS TO FINISH AT 45, IF IF WE ARE PROVIDING A TIME FRAME THAT'S LESS THAN THE STATE REQUIRES, THEN THEN WE CAN BE CONSISTENT. USUALLY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CANNOT MAKE LEGAL WHAT THE STATE HAS DEEMED ILLEGAL.
RIGHT. BUT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CAN BE MORE STRINGENT THAN THE STATE.
BUT AGAIN, IF WE ARE PROVIDING GUIDELINES, THESE ARE NOT PUNITIVE MEASURES.
[02:40:05]
IN ORDINANCES BECAUSE IT TIES THE HANDS.IT DOESN'T PROVIDE FOR FLEXIBILITY FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.
IF THERE ARE SITUATIONS THAT WARRANT EXTENDED TIME FOR MUCH MORE COMPLEX MATTERS.
THE STATE HAS NOW STEPPED INTO THAT, INTO THAT ARENA, HAS SET TIMELINES, HAS PROVIDED FOR TIMES FOR THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, CAN GO BACK AND ASK FOR MORE INFORMATION, BUT YOU ONLY GET THREE BITES OF THE APPLE UNDER ONE 60 633.
IT AIMS TO I THINK IT'S ONE CONCESSION TO THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY, BECAUSE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CAN DELAY IT BY CONSTANTLY GOING BACK AND ASKING FOR MORE INFORMATION, OR CREATING NEW ISSUES TO DRAG OUT AN APPLICATION.
IF IT'S A CONTROVERSIAL MATTER OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN ALMOST SEE, LIKE, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO TO KILL THE CLOCK SO YOU GET ANOTHER ELECTION WHERE YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GOING TO GET SOMEONE'S GOING TO VOTE THE MATTER DOWN.
THE TWO PARTIES CAN MUTUALLY AGREE TO EXTEND THE TIMES IF THERE IS A VALID.
AND NOW THE MATTER IS PROCEEDS FORWARD.
I MEAN, THAT'S THAT'S REALLY THE REMEDIES FOR THE DEVELOPER AT THE END OF THE DAY IS IF THEY BELIEVE THAT THE CITY IS STALLING OR CERTAIN TIMES ARE JUST BEING ABUSED, THE REMEDY IS NO, IT'S GOING FORWARD TO PLANNING AND ZONING OR TO THE LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY, AND IT'S GOING TO GO TO CITY COUNCIL.
WHETHER STAFF BELIEVES THE MATTER IS COMPLETE OR NOT, IT'S MOVING FORWARD.
THAT'S THE REMEDY. AND THAT'S A PRETTY IT'S A PRETTY STARK REMEDY THAT AT THAT POINT.
THEN WHEN YOU REACH THAT END, THEY DEEM IT, WE'RE GOING FORWARD AND IT'S TIME TO GO FORWARD.
AND THEN IT'S UP TO THE GOVERNING BODY TO APPROVE, DENY OR APPROVE WITH CONDITIONS AS IF IF AN APPLICATION IS COMPLETED TO BE PRESENTED. SO THE REMEDIES ARE THERE.
THESE ARE THESE ARE GUIDELINES TO FOLLOW.
IT GIVES EVERYBODY KIND OF THE REALM, THE LAY OF THE LAND.
BUT THERE IS A FINISH LINE AND THAT YOU HAVE TO REACH THAT FINISH LINE AT ONE POINT.
IT DOESN'T DRAG ON INDEFINITELY.
AND THAT'S WHAT THE LEGISLATURE CHANGED WHEN THEY STEPPED INTO THIS.
AND LET'S SAY THIS WAS I WAS WORKING AT THE I WAS WORKING AT VOLUSIA COUNTY WHEN THIS HAPPENED.
SO THIS IS 2019 I THINK IS WHEN THIS WAS.
AND THEY DIDN'T JUST DO IT FOR CITIES, THEY DID IT TO COUNTIES AS WELL.
COUNTIES AND CITIES ARE BOUND BY THE SAME REQUIREMENTS TO STREAMLINE THE MATTER, WHERE THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO KEEP GOING BACK AND FORTH, BACK AND FORTH AND STRINGING ON DEVELOPERS. YOU'VE GOT A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME TO GET THIS THING DONE, AND IF YOU CAN'T COME TO AN AGREEMENT, THEN THEY'RE GOING TO LET THE GOVERNING BODY MAKE THAT, MAKE THAT AGREEMENT AND NOT HAVE IT BE NOT NOT HAVE STAFF KIND OF DELAY THE MATTER.
I'M RESOLUTE ON THE FACT THAT I THINK THAT OUR CURRENT ORDINANCE IS AN ATTEMPT TO ADMINISTRATIVELY ACT UPON THE STAFF FROM THE DAIS, WHICH IS INAPPROPRIATE FOR OUR FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
THE COUNCIL IS ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE.
THE CITY MANAGER IS CHOSEN BY THE COUNCIL.
THE CITY MANAGER RUNS THE CITY.
SO IF THE DEPARTMENT NEEDS TO DO BETTER THAN THE FLORIDA STATUTE BY THE CITY MANAGER'S TERMS, BECAUSE THE COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, INFLUENCES THAT, THEN THAT HAS TO GET PASSED THROUGH ORGANICALLY.
T 20 3-0028 BASED ON THOSE MERITS THAT I FIND IN IT.
AND I'D TAKE A SECOND ON THAT, OF COURSE.
I HAVE A MOTION. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. HAVE A MOTION, A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. ANY OPPOSED? WE HAVE FIVE.
MISS FRAZIER. MADAM CHAIR, SO THIS IS ANOTHER TEXTUAL AMENDMENT BEING RECOMMENDED BY STAFF.
THIS IS IN REGARDS TO SUBDIVISIONS.
[02:45:07]
TIMELINES REQUIRED BY SECTION 166 .033 FLORIDA STATUTES, WHICH PROVIDES MUNICIPALITIES MORE APPROPRIATE, REALISTIC TIMEFRAMES TO ENSURE APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED ARE COMPLETE AND ADEQUATELY REVIEWED BY ALL NECESSARY CITY DEPARTMENTS.THE CURRENT TIMELINE FOR ROUTING, REVIEWING AND PROVIDING ALL STAFF COMMENTS, PREPARING A STAFF REPORT AND SCHEDULING PRELIMINARY PLAT AND FINAL PLAT APPLICATIONS FOR PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD IS APPROXIMATELY 45 DAYS.
AND I'M GOING TO EXPLAIN THAT BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE THAT THAT'S VERY CLEAR.
WE STATE THAT THEY HAVE TO HAVE THESE AS AS ANA STATED WITH BSE.
WE STATE THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR APPLICATIONS IN BY THE 15TH OF THE MONTH.
NOW, IN ORDER TO MAKE THE VERY NEXT MONTH'S PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD.
SO IF YOU ARE IN THE 15TH OF DECEMBER, YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE FEBRUARY'S.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
THAT'S 45 DAYS FOR A PRELIMINARY OR A FINAL PLAT.
THESE ARE LARGE PROJECTS, MAINLY SEVERAL HUNDRED ACRES.
WE HAVE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODES THAT HAVE TO BE MET.
WE HAVE PERMITS THAT NEED TO BE LOOKED AT.
OUTSIDE AGENCIES NEED TO DO THESE REVIEWS.
THAT'S THAT'S TOO SHORT OF A TIME FRAME.
SO NOW YOU'RE DOWN TO 30 DAYS TO GET EVERYTHING BACK AND FORTH WITH WITH THE APPLICANT.
DEPARTMENT STAFF CAPACITY IN THE CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS.
SO STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT CASE T 20 3-00029 IS APPROVED RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE 184.07, WHAT IS BEING CHANGED IS SO FOR PUBLIC MEETINGS, IT STATES CURRENTLY IT STATES THE PRELIMINARY PLAN APPLICATION SHALL BE HEARD BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD AT ITS REGULAR MEETING IN THE MONTH FOLLOWING THE SUBMITTAL DEADLINE DATE.
NOW IT'S BEING CHANGED TO READ.
IT WILL BE HEARD AT THE NEXT AVAILABLE REGULAR MEETING.
SO ALL WE ARE STATING IS THAT WE NEED ENOUGH TIME AND ADEQUATE TIME AND REALISTIC TIME TO DO A THOROUGH REVIEW OF THESE LARGE SUBDIVISIONS.
SO THAT IS OUR REQUEST AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS.
THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? JUST ONE. HOWEVER, WITH THAT, THAT STILL GIVES THE DEVELOPER THE OPPORTUNITY, IF THEY NEEDED TO, TO WITHDRAW THE TWO TO WITHDRAW THE THEIR PROJECT IF THEY NEEDED TO.
OH, ABSOLUTELY. THIS THIS HAS NO EFFECT ON THAT.
THE APPLICANT CAN GO FORWARD OR WITHDRAW.
YOU KNOW THIS JUST GIVES STAFF MORE, GIVES STAFF BASICALLY THE SAME AMOUNT OF RESPECT AS FAR AS PROVIDING A A COMPLETE AND ACCURATE SITE PLAN OR DEVELOPMENT PLAN AS THE APPLICANT ITSELF.
I MEAN, RIGHT NOW WE'RE GIVING THE APPLICANT 30 DAYS TO RESPOND AND, AND PULL TOGETHER ALL OF THE COMMENTS AND, AND PROVIDE YOU ALL WITH, YOU KNOW, A DEVELOPMENT PLAN. BUT WE'RE NOT ALLOWING STAFF TO THAT SAME TYPE OF RESPECT TO BE ABLE TO REVIEW IT AND MAKE SURE IT'S MEETING ALL OF THE CODES AND ALL OF THE PERMITS THAT ARE BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY.
SO THAT'S REALLY ALL THAT THIS IS DOING, IS ALLOWING BOTH PARTIES TO BE ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER IN BRINGING TOGETHER A BETTER PLAN FOR THE CITY IN MUCH RESPECT TO THAT, BECAUSE I REMEMBER I REMEMBER A TIME THAT WHEN WE HAD ASKED STAFF TO GIVE US TO GIVE US A LITTLE BIT MORE OF AN IN-DEPTH REVIEW OF SOME OF THE SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT WERE COMING THROUGH SO THAT WE CAN MAKE A BETTER DECISION ON SOME OF THEM.
SO IN IN MUCH OF THIS, I CAN RESPECT WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO AND WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
WE'RE TRYING TO WORK WITH YOU.
[02:50:09]
THROW IT OUT. BRING WHAT WE CAN.WE GOT TO HURRY UP. HEY, I SUBMITTED IT A MONTH AGO.
WHY ISN'T IT GOING TO THE NEXT PLANNING AND ZONING? WELL, IT'S NOT MEETING ANY OF THE CRITERIA, SO HOW CAN I SUBMIT IT NOW? HOW CAN I BRING IT TO YOU ALL? IT'S UNFAIR TO THE COMMUNITY.
IT'S UNFAIR TO THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY.
SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR THIS CHANGE.
AND I, I AGAIN, THIS IS NOT BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO DO OUR JOB IN A TIMELY MANNER BECAUSE I HAVE GREAT STAFF, THEY'RE STILL HERE AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE.
AND I'M DOWN TO TWO AND A HALF PLANNERS NOW, BUT WE HAVE OTHER STAFF THAT WORKS JUST SO DILIGENTLY AND HARD FOR THIS COMMUNITY AND HAS FOR 25 YEARS, AND THEY DESERVE THAT TYPE OF RESPECT.
AND THAT'S THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING.
MR. OLSZEWSKI. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MADAM CHAIR.
I REALLY DO APPRECIATE YOU AND YOUR EFFORTS.
THANK YOU. AND FOR BEING HERE WITH US TONIGHT.
IT'S THE LAST ONE, SO I WON'T WEAR IT TOO THIN.
DIRECTLY SPEAKING TO YOU, MA'AM, DOES THIS EMPOWER YOU AS A LEADER TO ESTABLISH A STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE WITHIN THE STAFF? REPORTS THAT THIS BOARD AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE COUNCIL WILL GET THAT WE WILL NOT HAVE ISSUES MISSED, ADVERTISED OR WRONGLY WRITTEN THAT IT'S EAST INSTEAD OF WEST.
TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS, SCRIBNER'S ERRORS.
TO BE LEGAL, WILL YOU BE ABLE TO ESTABLISH THE STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE THAT THAT WE ALL WANT TO HOLD IF THESE THINGS GO YOUR WAY, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WAY OF SAYING IT? YES, BUT I'M NOT MAKING ANY 100% PROMISES.
WE'RE ALL HUMAN. THAT BRINGS ME TO MY FOLLOW UP QUESTION.
CAN WE ESTABLISH THIS FACT THE SIZE OF YOUR DEPARTMENT WHEN IT'S FULL? HOW MANY HEADS ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE AND HOW MANY HEADS ARE YOU TODAY? WE HAVE CURRENTLY? OH MY GOODNESS, 12345 OPENINGS.
AND WE SO WE ARE DOWN TO EIGHT I THINK EIGHT STAFF RIGHT NOW.
SO YOU WOULD BE AT ROUGHLY 13.
HOLD ON. LET ME DO THE COUNT AT CONSTANTLY 246 WITH ME.
WE HAVE TEN AND WE HAVE FIVE OPENINGS.
AND THAT'S REALLY NOT EVEN ADEQUATE FOR THE AMOUNT OF VOLUME THAT COMES INTO OUR OFFICE.
AND, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE EVER EVEN SEEN OUR REPORTS OF WHAT WE DO, BUT LET ME JUST GIVE YOU SOME DATA, OKAY? SO YOU ALL UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE WORKING HARD AND WE AREN'T DOING THIS JUST TO TO HAVE A DAY OFF.
IN THE MONTH OF, LET ME JUST SAY, YEAR TO DATE WE HAVE DONE 20 COMP PLAN AMENDMENTS, 24 REZONINGS, FIVE VARIANCES, 26 TEXT AMENDMENTS, 40 SUBDIVISIONS OF ALL TYPES, 15 CONDITIONAL USES, ONE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, AND FIVE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATIONS.
OF COURSE, WE HAVE ALL OUR ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEWS WHICH ARE REVISED PLAN SUBMITTALS.
THIS WILL REDUCE THAT 91 TO DATE OUR TAPS 44 TO DATE SITE PLAN APPROVALS 38.
OH BUILDING PERMIT REVIEWS 4089.
THIS IS MY STAFF, AND I'M NOT EVEN READING ALL OF ALL OF THE PRE-APPLICATION MEETINGS.
62 THIS IS YEAR TO DATE, WHICH ONLY CAME ACTUALLY THROUGH THIS.
THIS RECORD IS ONLY NOT EVEN THROUGH OCTOBER.
IT'S MISSING THE TOP ONES FOR OCTOBER.
THIS IS ACTUALLY ONLY THROUGH SEPTEMBER 20TH 3RD JANUARY, SO THAT'S NINE MONTHS.
THAT'S HOW MUCH VOLUME WE PRODUCE.
AND SO I'M JUST ASKING YOU TO BE RESPECTFUL OF OUR TIME AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE TO YOU, BECAUSE WE WORK FOR YOU AND WE WANT TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE THE BEST PROFESSIONAL INFORMATION.
WILL WE STILL SLIP, SLIP UP? I'M SURE WE WILL.
BUT THIS GIVES US A LOT BETTER GRASP ON WHAT'S GOING ON AND WE CAN HAVE BETTER REVIEW TIME.
UNDERSTOOD. WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THOSE FIVE PEOPLE WOULD BE TOUCHING THESE PLANS AND WORKING TOWARDS THAT TIMELINE.
[02:55:02]
BUT I SEE THE DIRECTION YOU'RE GOING HERE.MADAM CHAIR, I'M NOT GOING TO SPEAK OUT OF TURN, SO I'LL WAIT FOR YOU TO CALL FOR SUCH.
BEFORE I SAY ANYTHING FURTHER.
DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY FURTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? DOES ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE? SEEING THAT IT'S BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD FOR A MOTION.
MADAM CHAIR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND FOR APPROVAL.
AGAIN, BASED ON THE MERITS I MENTIONED ON THE LAST CASE OF FOLLOWING FLORIDA STATUTE AND ALLOWING OUR DEPARTMENTS AND OUR CITY ADMINISTRATIVELY TO RUN IN THE FORM OF GOVERNMENT THAT IT'S INTENDED TO RUN.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE THE MOTION TO RECOMMEND FOR APPROVAL THIS TEXT AMENDMENT TO 20 3-000 29.
SECOND. OH, YEAH, THAT WAS ME.
DID I HAVE A SECOND? YEAH, THAT WAS ME.
I'M SORRY. SECOND. SECOND BY MR. WARNER. OKAY. NO. MR. WARNER. SECOND.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THANK YOU. THE CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
ANY FURTHER? THE SPREADSHEET. EVERYTHING ELSE FOR THE BOARD? NO THANK YOU.
I GET A LITTLE ENGAGED IN MY REQUEST BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN WORKING SO HARD IN REALLY IDENTIFYING OUR PROCESS AND TRYING TO BECOME MORE EFFICIENT AND, AND, YOU KNOW, AND STREAMLINE THIS NOT JUST FOR OUR BENEFIT, FOR THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE HEAR THEIR COMPLAINTS, TOO.
AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO WORK TOGETHER ON THIS.
AND I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU LISTENING TO MY EXPLANATION.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, AND THANK YOU TO THE STAFF.
MADAM CHAIR, BEFORE WE DISMISS VERY QUICKLY, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO PAY COMPLIMENTS AND THANKS AND GRATITUDE TO YOU, YOURSELF AND YOUR FELLOW COPS THAT ENABLE ALL THESE WONDERFUL EVENTS WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.
WE JUST RECENTLY HAD THE PARADE.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WERE OUT THERE, BUT I'M SURE YOU HAD THE DETAIL.
I DIDN'T SEE YOU, BUT ALL THE OTHER EVENTS I JUST WANT TO SAY IN EVERY PUBLIC FORUM I CAN HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE YOU AND ALL YOUR ASSOCIATES THAT DO THAT FOR US AND EMPOWER US TO DO THAT. SO THANK YOU, MA'AM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
NOT TONIGHT, BUT ALL THE OTHER TIMES TOO.
