19:08:27 HOW MANY UNITS ULTIMATELY CAN YOU BUILD IF YOU GO TO THE
19:08:31 RM-16?
19:08:32 >> PER THE REPORT, WE COULD DO 11 AND WE ARE PLANNING ON
19:08:37 DOING 8.
19:08:39 FOUR DWELLINGS.
19:08:40 EACH WITH TWO SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED PRODUCTS.
19:08:44 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: FOUR BUILDINGS, TWO UNITS PER, SPACE
19:08:47 BETWEEN THEM?
19:08:47 OR --
19:08:48 >> WHATEVER THE RM-16 SETBACKS ARE.
19:08:51 AGAIN IT'S EUCLIDEAN ZONING SO WE HAVE TO MEET ALL THE
19:08:54 REQUIREMENTS OF THE RM-16.
19:08:56 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WELL, I GUESS I DON'T KNOW THAT OFF
19:09:01 THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
19:09:02 IS THERE SPACE BETWEEN THOSE BUILDINGS?
19:09:06 OR CAN ALL THOSE BUILDINGS BEING CONJOINED?
19:09:10 >>RYAN MANASSE: PLANNING AND DESIGN. THIS IS BEFORE
19:09:13 EUCLIDEAN REZONING REQUEST.
19:09:15 HE WILL HAVE TO MEET ALL REQUIREMENTS FOR RM-16 AT TIME
19:09:18 OF PERMITTING.
19:09:19 IF THERE ARE BUILDING SEPARATION REQUIREMENTS, THAT IS IN
19:09:20 OUR CODE, IF YOU WERE TO TRY TO SEPARATE RESIDENTIAL
19:09:23 MULTIFAMILY DWELLING UNITS.
19:09:25 BUT THAT WOULDN'T BE DISCUSSED AT THIS EUCLIDEAN
19:09:28 REZONING.
19:09:28 I CAN SHOW YOU THE RM-16 REQUIREMENTS THAT'S IN YOUR
19:09:30 STAFF REPORT AS WELL SO IT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF THE
19:09:32 SETBACKS.
19:09:33 >> IT'S 7 ON EACH SIDE.
19:09:36 >>RYAN MANASSE: MINIMUM LOCALITY WITH 50 ON THE FRONT.
19:09:39 MINIMUM SIDE SETBACK 7.
19:09:40 REAR SETBACK 15.
19:09:44 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: BUT WHAT I AM STILL NOT HEARING, RYAN,
19:09:47 IS -- STAFF, WHAT I AM STILL NOT HEARING, CAN I BUILD ALL
19:09:53 THOSE UNITS AND THEN HAVE A SPACE BEFORE I GO TO THE NEXT
19:09:56 NEIGHBOR AND NOT BUILD ALL THOSE UNITS JAMMED TOGETHER?
19:09:59 OR DO I HAVE -- OR DOES THE CODE REQUIRE TWO, TWO, TWO?
19:10:05 I KNOW IT'S NOT A PD.
19:10:06 BUT WHAT I AM SAYING IS, I NEED A BETTER UNDERSTANDING
19:10:10 WHAT THE CODE ALLOWS.
19:10:11 IS IT TWO, TWO, TWO, SPACE, TWO, SPACE, TWO, SPACE?
19:10:16 OR FOUR OR EIGHT TOGETHER?
19:10:18 >> SO EIGHT MAX.
19:10:23 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: TOGETHER.
19:10:23 SO IT COULD BE ONE SOLID BUILDING?
19:10:25 >> CORRECT.
19:10:26 WELL, THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE PLANNING ON DOING, EIGHT
19:10:28 UNITS.
19:10:29 SO THE CODE WOULD ALLOW IN A PERFECT WORLD ELEVEN UNITS.
19:10:33 >> WE ARE DOING LESS THAN THE CODE ALLOWS UNDER THE
19:10:35 RM-16.
19:10:37 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IN THE EIGHT UNITS YOU ARE DOING, WHAT
19:10:39 I AM ASKING STAFF, THOSE EIGHT COULD BE JAMMED TOGETHER
19:10:41 IN ONE SOLID BUILDING.
19:10:42 >> CORRECT.
19:10:45 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.
19:10:46 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYONE ELSE, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
19:10:49 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I DIDN'T HEAR THE ANSWER.
19:10:52 NOT DOING SINGLE FAMILY. WHY NOT?
19:10:54 >> WE FEEL IT'S A REALLY GOOD TRANSITION FROM THE
19:10:56 COMMERCIAL ON KENNEDY TO SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED, AND THEN
19:11:00 UP TOTS REGULAR SINGLE-FAMILY.
19:11:02 IT'S WHAT THE PLAN IS LOOKING FOR.
19:11:04 WE ARE BUILDING THE DENSITY, THREE BEDROOM, TWO BATH, TWO
19:11:10 CAR GARAGES, FOUR PARKING SPOTS.
19:11:11 SO WE FEEL THAT IT'S A REALLY GOOD TRANSITION FROM THE
19:11:14 COMMERCIAL TO THE SINGLE-FAMILY.
19:11:23 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ANYONE ELSE?
19:11:23 THANK YOU, SIR.
19:11:24 IS ANYONE HERE TO PUBLICLY COMMENT ON ITEM NUMBER 4?
19:11:26 IF SO, PLEASE COME FORWARD.
19:11:28 >> ANDREW ONDRET.
19:11:34 I HAVE THE NUMBERS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SEMINARS WHAT OAK
19:11:36 FORD PARK AS THE PRESIDENT FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS, I
19:11:41 HAVE A THREE MONTE OLD AT HOME.
19:11:43 OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN, I THINK
19:11:46 YOU GUYS HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU, IS PREDOMINANTLY
19:11:49 SINGLE-FAMILY ACTUALLY.
19:11:50 WE HAVE 620, 620 HOMES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, OKAY?
19:11:55 ADD THAT UP WITH THE VACANT PARCELS.
19:11:57 THAT'S 85% OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
19:12:01 THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT IS RESERVED FOR NORTH HYDE PARK
19:12:05 AND WESTSHORE.
19:12:07 THERE'S TONS OF PEOPLE IN HERE WEARING RED SHIRTS.
19:12:11 NOT EVERYBODY WANTS TO SPEAK TODAY BUT THE BACK HALF OF
19:12:13 THIS ROOM IS OAKFORD PARK.
19:12:16 AND I HAVE 32 NAMES OF PEOPLE RIGHT HERE THAT COULDN'T
19:12:18 COME TO THIS MEETING TODAY, OKAY, FOR VARIOUS REASONS,
19:12:21 THAT I WOULD LOVE TO PUT ON THE RECORD, AND THEY DON'T
19:12:23 MIND PUTTING THEIR NAME ON THE RECORD, TOO.
19:12:26 >>MARTIN SHELBY: COUNCIL, I'M IN RECEIPT OF THIS
19:12:34 PETITION WHICH IS SIGNED AND DATED BY PEOPLE WHO SAY WE
19:12:37 AS HOMEOWNERS WITHIN THE ORTHOPEDIC FORWARD PARK
19:12:40 NEIGHBORHOOD OBJECT TO THE REZONING REQUEST FOR
19:12:42 PROPERTIES LOCATE ON NORTH A STREET.
19:12:44 I REMIND COUNCIL FOR PURPOSES OF THE RECORD THAT A
19:12:46 PETITION SUCH AS THIS IS NOT COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL
19:12:49 EVIDENCE, AND YOU CANNOT RELY ON THIS AS A BASIS FOR YOUR
19:12:54 DECISION, NOR CAN YOU RELY ON THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO
19:12:56 SHOW UP EITHER IN SUPPORT OR IN OPPOSITION.
19:13:00 THE COURTS FIND THAT IS NOT COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL
19:13:03 EVIDENCE.
19:13:03 YOU ARE REQUIRED TO RELY ON THE FACTS THAT YOU HEAR IN
19:13:07 THE CASE OR THE EXPERT TESTIMONY IF YOU GET SUCH AS
19:13:11 CONTAINED WITHIN STAFF REPORT.
19:13:13 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MR. SHELBY.
19:13:14 CONTINUE SIR.
19:13:15 >> THE FACTS ARE RIGHT HERE IN WRITING.
19:13:17 THE PREDOMINANTLY SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, WE WANT TO KEEP
19:13:20 OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, LIKE COUNCILMAN
19:13:24 DINGFELDER SAID, OKAY.
19:13:26 THIS IS PRIMARILY SINGLE-FAMILY HOME.
19:13:28 WE HAVE NO OBJECTION IF THEY WANT TO TEAR DOWN AN RS-50
19:13:33 AND BUILD ANOTHER RS-50, THAT'S WHAT PREDOMINANTLY IS
19:13:37 HAPPENING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:13:38 IT'S A GREAT THING.
19:13:39 IT'S ADDING MORE MONEY TO THE TAX ROLLS, PROVIDING
19:13:42 YOUNGER FAMILIES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:13:44 WE ARE AGAINST THIS REZONING OF THESE PROPERTIES.
19:13:46 WE DON'T WANT IT ENCROACHING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:13:49 IT SHOULD BE THE SAME THING THAT YOU GUYS DID IN THE
19:13:51 WESTSHORE AREA.
19:13:52 REZONE FUTURE SLOTHS OF LAND AND PLAN FOR THIS.
19:13:56 BECAUSE IF YOU APPROVE THIS, IT'S GOING TO NOT STOP A
19:13:59 DEVELOPER FROM SAYING, OKAY, ONE, TWO, THREE HOUSE, NOW
19:14:02 LET'S BUILD EIGHT TOWNHOMES, OKAY?
19:14:04 AND THAT'S NOT CONSISTENT WITH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:14:06 AGAIN I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN SUBMIT THIS TO THE RECORD,
19:14:09 BUT I'LL SUBMIT THIS TOO.
19:14:12 THE GIS REPORT.
19:14:14 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU.
19:14:15 >> FURTHERMORE THE LAST THING THAT I WILL CLOSE WITH IS
19:14:18 THE PARKING OKAY.
19:14:20 FROM WHAT WE UNDERSTAND THEY ARE GOING TO BE USING THE
19:14:22 ALLEYWAY AS HE SAID, FOUR SPOTS, FOUR ADDITIONAL SPOTS.
19:14:25 WE DON'T HAVE ON-STREET PARKING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:14:27 NOR CAN WE AFFORD IT.
19:14:29 AND THAT IS A BIG CONCERN BECAUSE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HAS
19:14:31 ALREADY BEEN VASTLY OVERUSED, FOR THE TRANSIENT, BECAUSE
19:14:37 KENNEDY IS ALWAYS JACKED UP.
19:14:39 SO IS CYPRESS.
19:14:41 AND PEOPLE ARE CUTTING THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.
19:14:43 SO IF WE HAVE ON-STREET PARKING, WHICH NORTH A IS NOT
19:14:46 MEANT AND BUILT FOR THAT, IT'S GOING TO FURTHER
19:14:48 EXACERBATE THE TRAFFIC ISSUE IN OUR AREA.
19:14:51 THANK YOU.
19:14:52 [BELL SOUNDS]
19:14:53 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
19:14:54 GOOD LUCK WITH THAT THREE MONTH OLD.
19:14:55 >> GOOD EVENING.
19:14:59 MY NAME IS JOHN MCDONAUGH, A RESIDENT IN OAK FORD PARK,
19:15:02 218 NORTH WOODLAND AVENUE.
19:15:06 I'M ASKING YOU TO DENY THE REQUEST.
19:15:07 WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THE NEIGHBORHOOD SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES
19:15:09 AND NOT HAVE IT MULTIFAMILY HOMES.
19:15:13 IF THIS IS ALLOWED, THEN I COULD SELL MY TWO LOTS AND
19:15:16 BUILD OR ASK FOR EXPANSION OF MULTIPLE HOMES TO GO UP.
19:15:21 I THINK IF WE OPEN THIS CAN, IT WILL PERHAPS ALLOW OTHERS
19:15:25 TO COME IN, AND AGAIN HOUSE, HOUSE, HOUSE, DUPLEX,
19:15:29 DUPLEX, QUADPLEX, HOUSE, HOUSE, HOUSE.
19:15:32 THAT'S NOT WHAT IS CONSISTENT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND
19:15:35 CURRENTLY THE WHOLE PERIPHERAL OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:15:38 THANK YOU.
19:15:40 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: QUESTION.
19:15:42 YOU LIVE CLOSE TO NORTH A?
19:15:44 >> YES.
19:15:46 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY.
19:15:46 >> OPPOSITE END.
19:15:48 BLOCK FROM THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN.
19:15:50 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: CAN YOU TESTIFY IN REGARD TO NEW
19:15:52 CONSTRUCTION, WHETHER OR NOT THERE HAVE BEEN NEW
19:15:58 SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES BUILT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF NORTH A IN
19:16:04 THE LAST, LET'S SAY, FIVE YEARS?
19:16:07 >> I CAN TESTIFY THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY NEW
19:16:11 SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF NORTH A.
19:16:15 THERE HAVE BEEN RENOVATIONS, REMODELS, NEW DEVELOPMENT
19:16:20 IMMEDIATELY ADJOINING AND ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE
19:16:24 PLANNED SITE AND ALL ALONG NORTH A ON THE NORTH SIDE.
19:16:28 AND SPECIFICALLY THE STREET THAT IS WOODLAWN AVENUE, THE
19:16:36 MAJORITY OF THE HOMES ON THAT BLOCK ARE NEWLY DEVELOPED
19:16:38 AND PERHAPS THE VALUES WOULD DECREASE DUE TO MULTIFAMILY
19:16:42 HOMES ADJOINING OSHA BUTTING OR BEING AT THE END OF THE
19:16:45 STREET.
19:16:45 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: BUT YOU ARE TESTIFYING IN YOUR
19:16:46 NEIGHBORHOOD, THERE ARE TEAR-DOWNS THAT ARE BEING
19:16:50 REPLACED, OLDER HOMES THAT ARE BEING REPLACED WITH BRAND
19:16:53 NEW SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES?
19:16:55 >> THAT'S CORRECT.
19:16:57 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY.
19:16:57 THANK YOU.
19:16:57 >> THANK YOU.
19:16:59 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
19:16:59 NEXT, PLEASE.
19:17:02 >> MY NAME IS JOHN SMOT, 3106 NORTH A DIRECTLY TO THE
19:17:09 EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION.
19:17:11 I HAVE HAD A BUSINESS THERE NOW FOR 27 YEARS, AND FIRST
19:17:14 OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER'S
19:17:17 COMMENT ABOUT NEW HOUSES THAT ARE COMING IN THE
19:17:19 NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:17:21 IN THE QUARTER CENTURY OR SO THAT I HAVE BEEN AT MY
19:17:24 BUSINESS, THERE'S BEEN A LARGE RESURGENCE OF NEW HOMES
19:17:28 COMING IN, AND YOUNG FAMILIES COMING IN.
19:17:31 AND AS I LEFT WORK THIS EVENING, THERE WERE YOUNG KIDS
19:17:34 PLAYING IN THE STREET, AND THERE'S GREAT RESURGENCE IN
19:17:40 THERE FROM WHAT YOU SEE OF SOME OF THOSE OLD SINGLE BLOCK
19:17:45 HOMES.
19:17:45 WE HAVE QUITE A FEW NEW HOMES.
19:17:47 MY BUSINESS IS A VIDEO PRODUCTION BUSINESS.
19:17:49 I RELY AND CHOSE MY PROPERTY FOR THE QUIET NATURE OF IT.
19:17:55 IT'S AWAY FROM THE AIRPORT, AWAY FROM A LOT OF OTHER
19:17:58 NOISES THAT IMPACT ME.
19:18:00 I RECORD IN MY STUDIO ON AN ALMOST DAILY BASIS, AND JUST
19:18:04 THE CONSTRUCTION ALONE OF SOMETHING RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO ME
19:18:08 WOULD PROBABLY PUT ME OUT OF BUSINESS FOR HOWEVER LONG IT
19:18:11 TAKES TO PUT THOSE THINGS UP AND THEN THE ADDITIONAL
19:18:13 NOISE FROM THE MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD BE
19:18:17 THERE.
19:18:18 I WOULD ALSO OPPOSE IT ON THE DENSITY ISSUE.
19:18:23 WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH?
19:18:24 WE DON'T HAVE WATER, SEWER, DRAINAGE, STORMWATER, YOU
19:18:29 NAME IT.
19:18:29 WE HAVE THOSE PROBLEMS IN SOUTH TAMPA.
19:18:31 AND ADDING ON TOP OF THAT A MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT WITH
19:18:34 THE PAVING AND ROOF AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF THAT'S GOING
19:18:37 TO BE THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE GOOD FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:18:40 SO I WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOU TO DECLINE THIS
19:18:43 REQUEST.
19:18:44 THANK YOU.
19:18:44 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
19:18:45 NEXT, PLEASE.
19:18:46 >> MY NAME IS TIM HEALEY, 3120 WEST NORTH A STREET,
19:18:55 DIRECTLY NEXT DOOR TO THE PROPERTY.
19:18:59 I OPPOSE THE REZONING.
19:19:01 AND FOR ME IT'S A DENSITY ISSUE.
19:19:03 I LIKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT I'M IN.
19:19:05 I SENT IN AN E-MAIL EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON WITH MORE
19:19:09 SPECIFIC DETAILS.
19:19:11 I WANT TO GO ON THE RECORD AS BEING OPPOSED TO THE
19:19:13 REZONING.
19:19:14 THANK YOU.
19:19:15 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
19:19:16 NEXT, PLEASE.
19:19:16 >> GOOD EVENING.
19:19:23 I'M JACKSON MORRIS.
19:19:24 I'M THE OWNER OF 3116 WEST NORTH A STREET.
19:19:28 THE SECOND PROPERTY.
19:19:29 AND THE VACANT LAND NEXT TO IT.
19:19:32 MY DAD STARTED ACCUMULATING THIS PARCEL IN 1948.
19:19:38 IT HAS A LAND USE DESIGNATION OF MU 60 WHICH IS ELIGIBLE
19:19:42 FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
19:19:43 THE ENTIRE BLOCK EXCEPT FOR MR. HEALEY'S RESIDENCE NEXT
19:19:48 DOOR TO THE WEST IS ALL COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AT THIS
19:19:50 POINT.
19:19:51 AND I BELIEVE THAT DEVELOPMENT INTO EIGHT UNITS ON THE
19:19:57 PROPERTY IS SUITABLE TRANSITION.
19:20:02 THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER HOMES TORN DOWN IN THE
19:20:05 NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:20:06 IN FACT, IN THE BLOCK ON WOODLAWN AND DIRECTLY ACROSS THE
19:20:12 STREET WHERE THERE'S ONLY ONE HOME.
19:20:13 I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE PROPERTY.
19:20:15 BUT TWO HOMES HAVE BEEN BUILT IN PLACE OF THE SINGLE
19:20:19 RESIDENCE.
19:20:20 I THINK THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT HERE IS ENTIRELY
19:20:24 APPROPRIATE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND DOES MAKE A NICE
19:20:27 TRANSITION FROM THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES ON WEST KENNEDY
19:20:31 AND THE REMAINDER OF THIS BLOCK INTO THE SINGLE-FAMILY
19:20:34 NATURE OF BALANCE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:20:38 THANK YOU.
19:20:39 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
19:20:40 NEXT, PLEASE.
19:20:41 AND JUST TO CONFIRM, IS THIS GENTLEMAN COMING UP THE LAST
19:20:44 PERSON WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 4?
19:20:47 >> NO.
19:20:47 >>LUIS VIERA: OKAY.
19:20:49 >> I GUESS WE HAVE MORE.
19:20:52 GOOD EVENING.
19:20:53 YEAH, I'M ONE OF THE -- MY NAME IS CLARK ISBONN, AT THE
19:20:59 INTERSECTION OF NORTH B WHICH IS ONE BLOCK TO THE NORTH
19:21:01 OF NORTH A.
19:21:02 AND I GUESS I AM ONE OF THE NEW FAMILIES THAT ARE MOVING
19:21:05 TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:21:05 I HAVE BEEN THERE FOR FIVE YEARS NOW AND I JUST WANTED TO
19:21:07 GO ON RECORD TO ASK THAT YOU DECLINE THE REQUEST FOR THE
19:21:10 REZONING FOR A HANDFUL OF REASONS BUT MOST NOTABLY I
19:21:14 THINK WOULD BE THE DENSITY WHICH IS CERTAINLY A CONCERN
19:21:16 FOR US.
19:21:18 I HAVE RECENTLY A YOUNG CHILD THAT STARTED ELEMENTARY
19:21:21 SCHOOL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND SO WE ARE FREQUENTLY
19:21:22 WALKING THERE, AND I THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE A
19:21:25 SIGNIFICANT CONCERN AMONG MOST OF THE FOLKS IN THE
19:21:27 NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THE INFLUX OF TRAFFIC.
19:21:29 CERTAINLY WITH MIDTOWN COMING IN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
19:21:31 NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:21:32 IT'S REALLY NOT THE MOST PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENTS
19:21:35 THERE.
19:21:35 SO WE CERTAINLY HATE TO PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK AS A RESULT
19:21:39 OF SOME OF THESE GROWING RESIDENCES AND SO FORTH.
19:21:42 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WERE YOU DONE?
19:21:44 >> YES, I'M THROUGH.
19:21:45 THANK YOU.
19:21:47 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YOU HAVE GOT FIVE YEARS OF HISTORY A
19:21:49 BLOCK AWAY.
19:21:49 >> I'M NEW, YES.
19:21:52 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE COMPATIBILITY
19:21:54 AND CONSISTENCY, THE POTENTIAL, POTENTIAL BUILDING THAT'S
19:22:00 BEEN DESCRIBED THERE IS AN 8-UNIT STRUCTURE, AND ALL
19:22:05 TOGETHER POTENTIALLY.
19:22:09 THEY COULD CHOOSE THE SPACE BUT THE POTENTIAL IS THERE
19:22:12 FOR THAT.
19:22:13 AND IN REGARD TO THE MASS AND SIZE AND SCALE OF THAT.
19:22:17 IS THERE ANY PRECEDENT FOR THAT IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT
19:22:20 YOU CAN PICTURE ON NORTH A, NORTH B, THE CROSS STREETS OR
19:22:24 ANYTHING ELSE?
19:22:24 >> NOT TO ME.
19:22:25 THAT'S OAK FORD PARK NEIGHBORHOODS WITHIN THE CONFINES OF
19:22:29 THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:22:30 I BELIEVE WE DO HAVE -- I THINK I HAVE SEEN SOME MAPS
19:22:33 THAT KIND OF OUTLINE THIS BUT I THINK THE OUTLINE THAT WE
19:22:36 SUBMITTED PREVIOUSLY SHOWS THERE ARE NOT TO THAT DEGREE
19:22:40 IN THAT VICINITY.
19:22:42 TO MY KNOWLEDGE ANYHOW.
19:22:43 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, SIR.
19:22:44 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
19:22:48 NEXT, PLEASE.
19:22:51 AND JUST SO THAT WE KNOW, THIS GENTLEMAN OVER HERE IN THE
19:22:55 RED SHIRT AFTER HIM, IS ANYONE ELSE PLANNING ON SPEAKING?
19:22:58 YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO SPEAK.
19:22:59 I JUST WANT TO KNOW.
19:23:02 GO AHEAD, SIR.
19:23:02 >> I AM DAVID ROBERTS.
19:23:04 I AM AT 212 NORTH MATANZAS, JUST NORTHWEST OF THE
19:23:10 PROPOSED PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT.
19:23:12 I JUST WANTED TO VOICE MY DISAPPROVAL AND HOPE THAT YOU
19:23:18 WOULD DENY THE REQUEST FROM THE RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY
19:23:23 TO MULTIFAMILY.
19:23:26 I BUILT MY HOUSE, A SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE, IN THAT AREA
19:23:31 SEVEN YEARS AGO.
19:23:32 SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE SEEN -- I'M SORRY, IN 2007.
19:23:37 SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE SEEN LIKE YOU HAD MENTIONED A
19:23:40 SIGNIFICANT RESURGENCE IN THAT AREA.
19:23:43 AND YOU WERE ASKING ABOUT THE POTENTIAL SUCCESS OF, SAY,
19:23:50 SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF NORTH A IN
19:23:54 THAT VICINITY.
19:23:55 YOU WERE CORRECT, THAT TO MY KNOWLEDGE, I DON'T BELIEVE
19:23:58 THERE HAVE BEEN TOO MANY SINGLE-FAMILY SALES ON THE SOUTH
19:24:01 SIDE OF NORTH A WITHIN THE SPECIFIC AREA OF OAKFORD PARK.
19:24:06 HOWEVER, OAKFORD PARK IS A SMALL SECTION WITHIN THAT
19:24:12 ENTIRE KENNEDY BOULEVARD AREA.
19:24:13 IF YOU GO IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST ON THE MacDILL,
19:24:16 WHERE YOU HAVE SEEN AN EARLIER RESURGENCE OF THE
19:24:20 SINGLE-FAMILY PROPERTIES, YOU WILL SEE SEVERAL SUCCESSFUL
19:24:23 SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES THAT HAVE BEEN TORN DOWN AND
19:24:26 REBUILT SIMILARLY TO THE WEST OF OUR AREA.
19:24:30 OUR AREA WAS A LITTLE LATER IN THAT RESURGENCE.
19:24:34 WE ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH A GOOD NICE FAMILY AREA.
19:24:39 AND LIKE YOU HAD MENTIONED, I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY
19:24:42 GOOD REASON FOR A MULTIFAMILY PROPERTY.
19:24:46 IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE REST OF KENNEDY BOULEVARD,
19:24:49 THERE ARE NO MULTIFAMILY RESIDENCES TO MY KNOWLEDGE IN
19:24:54 THAT IMMEDIATE AREA ALONG NORTH A.
19:24:56 YOU DO NOT NEED THAT TYPE OF BUFFER.
19:24:59 THE CONSISTENCY WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS YOU HAVE AN
19:25:02 ALLEY SEPARATION, AND THE REST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS ALL
19:25:06 SINGLE-FAMILY.
19:25:11 MY OBVIOUS CONCERNS WOULD BE.
19:25:13 LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, PARKING, DENSITY, TRAFFIC.
19:25:16 IT IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM ON NORTH A, NORTH B AND GRAY.
19:25:20 IT'S EXACTLY WHY YOU JUST REDID ALL OF THE HIMES TRAFFIC
19:25:22 TO AVOID THE ADDITIONAL DENSITY AND TRAFFIC IN OUR AREA
19:25:26 BY PUTTING IN ADDITIONAL MULTIFAMILY RESIDENCES IN THIS
19:25:30 VERY SAME LOCATION.
19:25:31 YOU ARE ALMOST NEGATING EXACTLY WHAT YOU JUST WERE
19:25:35 PUSHING FOR.
19:25:37 THANK YOU.
19:25:38 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU.
19:25:39 >> MY NAME IS DINO MARVELLA, 506 NORTH WOODLAND AVENUE
19:25:50 BETWEEN TRASK AND GRAY ONE BLOCK WEST OF MacDILL.
19:25:55 I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR 4 YEARS. I BOUGHT THE HOUSE WHEN I
19:25:56 WAS 20 YEARS OLD.
19:25:58 I DON'T PLAN TO LEAVE THE AREA.
19:25:59 IT'S BEEN GREAT.
19:26:01 THE THING IS, THIS IS NOT GOING TO FIT IN THIS AREA.
19:26:04 JUST LIKE MR. MIRANDA HAD SAID EARLIER EVEN THOUGH IT'S A
19:26:07 DIFFERENT PROJECT AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
19:26:08 WE LET THIS IN HERE AND IT'S JUST GOING TO CONTINUE.
19:26:11 THEY ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND START GOING ALL THE WAY
19:26:13 AROUND THE PERIMETERS.
19:26:14 GO AHEAD AND TRY TO SQUEEZE THESE IN.
19:26:17 LIKE YOU SAID, IT'S BEEN GOOD AND BAD.
19:26:19 IT'S BEEN REAL GOOD THAT WE ARE GETTING YOUNGBLOOD IN
19:26:22 THERE, YOUNG FAMILIES IN THERE.
19:26:23 MY KIDS NOW 33, 35.
19:26:25 WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN ALL THROUGH THAT.
19:26:27 YOU KNOW, THE PROBLEM THAT I SEE IN THE FUTURE, LIKE I
19:26:31 SAID, WITH THIS PARTICULAR THING HERE IS YOU ARE GOING TO
19:26:34 GO AHEAD AND SAY, HEY, IT WORKED, LET'S PUT A UNIT OVER
19:26:37 HERE, AND THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE THESE LITTLE AREAS
19:26:40 ESPECIALLY ON THE PERIMETER.
19:26:41 THE MIDTOWN PROJECT, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WE ARE GOING
19:26:43 TO GET WITH TRAFFIC WHEN WE GET THAT THING.
19:26:45 THE OTHER THING IS, IN THE AREA NOW, THE ONLY THING I
19:26:48 DON'T LIKE, WHEN YOU DO ONE HOUSE FOR ONE HOUSE I HAVE NO
19:26:51 PROBLEM WITH TAKING IT DOWN. BUT NOW WE ARE STARTING TO
19:26:53 GET THESE PEOPLE DOMAIN, PERFECT EXAMPLES, THEY ARE BIKE
19:26:57 THESE CORNER LOTS AND PUTTING TWO TO THREE HOUSES ON
19:26:59 THERE AND SQUEEZING IT IN THERE AND DENSITY STARTING TO
19:27:02 GET OUTRAGEOUS IN THE AREA.
19:27:04 TRAFFIC IS GOING CRAZY AND YOU CAN TELL TRAFFIC AROUND
19:27:06 THE PERIMETERS.
19:27:07 SO THAT'S BASICALLY ALL I HAVE TO SAY, YOU KNOW.
19:27:10 BUT LIKE I SAY, IT'S CHANGED DRAMATICALLY.
19:27:13 AND LIKE I SAID, I LOVE THE YOUNG FAMILIES NOW.
19:27:16 BUT IT'S STARTING TO GETS A LITTLE CRAZY.
19:27:19 THANK YOU.
19:27:20 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
19:27:23 ANYONE ELSE?
19:27:23 OKAY.
19:27:23 REBUTTAL IF YOU WISH.
19:27:25 >> THANK YOU.
19:27:29 I GUESS I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE WITH MOST OF WHAT I JUST
19:27:34 HEARD.
19:27:35 ONE OF THE GENTLEMEN SAID ABOUT PARKING IN THE ALLEYWAY.
19:27:39 WELL, WE WILL HAVE 32 TOTAL PARKING SPOTS.
19:27:42 EACH UNIT WILL HAVE A TWO-CAR GARAGE PLUS A DRIVEWAY.
19:27:45 SO THESE ARE FRONT LOADS.
19:27:47 THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF PARKING.
19:27:49 WE ARE NOT USING THE ALLEY FOR PARKING.
19:27:53 THEY ARE NOT CONDOS.
19:27:54 THEY ARE SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED.
19:27:57 THEY ARE OWNED FEE SIMPLE, OKAY.
19:27:59 THERE'S NOT A HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.
19:28:01 THEY ARE FEE SIMPLE.
19:28:01 THIS IS GOING TO GIVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR MORE YOUNG
19:28:04 FAMILIES TO MOVE IN.
19:28:07 THE PLAN WANTS MORE DENSITY.
19:28:09 WE THINK WE ARE DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE CITY WANTS US TO
19:28:12 DO.
19:28:13 THE CITY STAFF AGREES WITH WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO.
19:28:16 WE ARE NOT TRYING TO DO ANYTHING -- WE THINK THIS WILL
19:28:20 INCREASE THE VALUE OF ALL THE HOMES IN THE AREA.
19:28:22 WE ARE GOING TO BUILD NEW BEAUTIFUL HOMES.
19:28:29 SO AGAIN I GUESS I WOULD JUST LIKE YOU TO THINK ABOUT IT.
19:28:32 YOU KNOW THE CITY.
19:28:34 AND I WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU MOVE FORWARD WITH
19:28:36 THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION.
19:28:39 AND I THINK THE RESIDENTS HOPE THAT THEY WILL BE VERY
19:28:43 HAPPY WITH WHAT TURNS OUT.
19:28:46 THANK YOU.
19:28:47 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
19:28:51 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: JUST A QUICK TECHNICAL QUESTION.
19:28:53 I DON'T THINK IT'S PROBABLY MORE TOWARDS STAFF.
19:28:56 WHAT IS THE HEIGHT FOR HATE POTENTIAL?
19:29:01 $35.
19:29:02 >>RYAN MANASSE: 35.
19:29:05 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SAME AS SINGLE-FAMILY.
19:29:06 >>RYAN MANASSE: CORRECT.
19:29:08 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYTHING ELSE?
19:29:09 MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE?
19:29:10 MOTION BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
19:29:12 SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CITRO.
19:29:13 ALL IN FAVOR?
19:29:15 WHAT'S THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL?
19:29:18 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO
19:29:22 DENY THE APPLICATION REZ 19-107, AND I BASE THAT ON
19:29:32 FAILURE TO MEET CERTAIN LAND USE POLICIES, AND I WILL
19:29:35 BEGIN WITH LAND USE POLICY 9.1.2 WHICH IS ENCOURAGE
19:29:40 SENSITIVE DESIGN AND SITE PLAN IN URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS
19:29:43 THAT MITIGATE THE SCALE OF LARGER BUILDINGS THROUGH
19:29:45 CAREFUL USE OF BUILDING MASS SETBACKS, FACADE,
19:29:48 ARTICULATION, FENESTRATION, PAR A PETS, AND ARCHITECTURAL
19:29:53 DETAILS, LAND USE OBJECTIVE 9.3, COMPATIBLE DEVELOPMENT
19:29:57 AND REDEVELOPMENT TO SUSTAIN STABLE NEIGHBORHOODS AND
19:29:59 ENSURE THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC HEALTH OF THE CITY.
19:30:04 AND I WOULD LEAVE IT AT THAT.
19:30:06 >>LUIS VIERA: OKAY.
19:30:06 >>MARTIN SHELBY: DID YOU WANT TO SPECIFICALLY REFER TO
19:30:10 ANY TESTIMONY THAT YOU HEARD RELATING TO THAT SUPPORTS
19:30:14 THAT POSITION?
19:30:16 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I DON'T BELIEVE THE APPLICANT PUT
19:30:24 ANY EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THEIR CLAIM TO SUPPORT THE
19:30:29 APPLICATION IN GENERAL.
19:30:30 THEREFORE THAT'S WHY I STATE THESE SPECIFIC LAND USE
19:30:33 POLICIES.
19:30:33 I FEEL THAT THEY FAILED TO MEET THAT.
19:30:36 >>LUIS VIERA: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
19:30:39 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I'LL SECOND THE MOTION AND ADD
19:30:41 FRIENDLY COMMENTS TO THE MAKER OF THE MOTION IF HE
19:30:44 DESIRES.
19:30:45 BUT SPECIFICALLY CITING TO THE TESTIMONY THAT WE HEARD
19:30:51 UNCONTROVERTED TESTIMONY AS TO COMPATIBILITY.
19:30:56 THIS IS A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT AT LEAST WE HAVE TESTIMONY
19:30:59 FROM THE FIRST PERSON WHO CAME UP THAT DID A CALCULATION,
19:31:04 AND I HOPE THAT GOT SUBMITTED INTO THE RECORD, BUT 85% OF
19:31:09 HIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS SINGLE-FAMILY.
19:31:11 I SPECIFICALLY ASKED THE QUESTION, AND THE ONLY RESPONSE
19:31:14 I GOT WAS FROM THE NEIGHBORS IN OPPOSITION AS RELATED TO
19:31:20 OTHER MULTIFAMILY UP AND DOWN THAT AREA AND THAT STREET,
19:31:28 AND WE ARE NOT SEEING THAT.
19:31:32 THIS PROJECT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING
19:31:35 SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
19:31:39 AND I APPRECIATE THE MAKER OF THE MOTION.
19:31:41 >>LUIS VIERA: ANY FURTHER COMMENT BEFORE WE VOTE ON THIS
19:31:44 MOTION?
19:31:45 OKAY.
19:31:46 WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MANISCALCO.
19:31:48 A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
19:31:50 ALL IN FAVOR?
19:31:51 ANY OPPOSED?
19:31:52 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

19:38:39 AND 1370 SQUARE FEET BUILT IN 1955.
19:38:44 SO THEY ARE AGING SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
19:38:47 THE PROPERTY TO THE EAST HAS A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME, 1214
19:38:54 SQUARE FEET BUILT IN 1949.
19:38:57 THE PROPERTY TO THE WEST
19:38:59 HAS 1176 SQUARE FEET, SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES BUILT IN 1974.
19:39:06 AND THE PROPERTY RIGHT HERE IS 768 SQUARE FEET BUILT IN
19:39:13 1958.
19:39:15 AND THIS ONE IS A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME BUILT IN 1961, 1529
19:39:20 SQUARE FEET.
19:39:22 THESE TWO ARE VACANT.
19:39:23 AND THIS ONE IS VACANT.
19:39:26 THIS WHOLE AREA IN HERE IS ZONED RM-16.
19:39:31 AND THEN ON THE PERIMETERS ARE SOME INDUSTRIAL ZONED
19:39:35 PROPERTIES.
19:39:42 THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A REDEVELOPMENT OF
19:39:44 RESIDENTIAL, AGAIN THE EXISTING ZONING ALLOWS
19:39:48 MULTIFAMILY, BUT THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR REDEVELOPMENT
19:39:52 TO, WELL, TO BRING IN SOME NEW HOUSING BASICALLY, AND TO
19:39:59 REPLACE AGING HOMES THAT ARE AT THE END OF THEIR USEFUL
19:40:05 LIFE.
19:40:09 AS I STATED, THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION TU-24
19:40:13 DOESN'T ALLOW THE DENSITY, AND ALSO THE TU-24 ALLOWS FOR
19:40:18 A MIXTURE OF RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL AND LIGHT
19:40:21 INDUSTRIAL.
19:40:22 SO THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THAT.
19:40:25 TU-24 USUALLY IS FOUND IN HISTORIC URBAN AREAS SUCH AS
19:40:29 THIS, THAT DEVELOPED BEFORE THE ZONING CODES.
19:40:33 AND THE REZONING WOULD ALLOW, AS I SAID, A MORE
19:40:39 ECONOMICALLY VIABLE PROJECT TO ALLOW JUST A FEW MORE
19:40:44 RESIDENTIAL UNITS.
19:40:47 IN FACT THE REZONING WOULD ALLOW PRECISELY WHAT THE LAND
19:40:50 USE DESIGNATION CONTEMPLATES, A MIXTURE OF RESIDENTIAL,
19:40:54 COMMERCIAL, AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES.
19:40:56 IT WILL MAINTAIN THAT MIXTURE OF RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL
19:41:00 AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WHILE PROVIDING SO MUCH NEEDED
19:41:03 HOUSING, AND PARTICULARLY IN THIS AREA WORKFORCE HOUSING.
19:41:08 THE SITE IS CLOSE TO JOB SENSORS SO THERE ARE BUSINESSES
19:41:12 AND POTENTIAL EMPLOYMENT CLOSE BY.
19:41:15 THE SITE IS ONLY .3-MILE FROM A TRANSIT STOP, AND THAT
19:41:20 TRANSIT STOP IS SERVED BY BUS ROUTES THAT CONNECT THE
19:41:23 SITE TO DOWNTOWN AND ALSO TO THE UNIVERSITY AREA.
19:41:26 SO THERE'S OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO WORK, TO LIVE AND
19:41:29 WORK IN THE AREA, AND ALSO TO TAKE TRANSIT TO OTHER AREAS
19:41:34 TO WORK AND GO TO SCHOOL.
19:41:37 AGAIN, IT'S AN UNDERDEVELOPED AREA, UNDERDEVELOPED
19:41:42 PARCELS.
19:41:43 SO IT WILL REPLACE AGING SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES WITH NEW
19:41:47 MULTIFAMILY HOUSING IN AN URBAN AREA WHERE HOUSING IS
19:41:51 DESPERATELY NEEDED.
19:41:52 IT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE STABILITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD
19:41:55 BY PROVIDING SUSTAINABLE, SAFE, MODERN WORKFORCE HOUSING
19:42:00 IN AN AREA THAT IS SURROUNDED BY BUSINESSES AND JOBS AND
19:42:05 NEAR TRANSIT TO GET TO OTHER JOB CENTERS AND SCHOOLS.
19:42:09 IT'S COMPATIBLE WITH AND SENSITIVE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD
19:42:11 AND APPROPRIATE -- IT'S AN APPROPRIATE USE WHERE THE
19:42:15 SURROUNDING ZONING WOULD ALSO ALLOW MULTIFAMILY HOMES.
19:42:21 WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE STATEMENT IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S
19:42:23 REPORT THAT THE SITE MIGHT BE BETTER SUITED FOR
19:42:26 INDUSTRIAL USES.
19:42:27 HOWEVER, THESE ARE SMALL PARCELS, AND THEY ARE NOT WELL
19:42:32 SUITED, AT LEAST INDIVIDUALLY FOR INDUSTRIAL USES, AND
19:42:36 THEY ARE ALL INDIVIDUALLY OWNED BY DIFFERENT OWNERS.
19:42:41 AND SO WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT IF THEY WERE DEVELOPED AS
19:42:45 COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL USES THAT THAT WOULD REALLY
19:42:49 UNDERMINE THE MYTHS THAT THE TU-24 LAND USE CONTEMPLATES.
19:42:55 AS I SAID THE TU-24 DOES CONTEMPLATE A MIXTURE OF USES.
19:42:59 AND WOULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE
19:43:02 EXISTING RESIDENTIAL USES THAT ARE IN THIS LITTLE
19:43:09 NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:43:10 SO THE MULTIFAMILY USE IS BETTER SUITED AND WOULD BETTER
19:43:13 STABILIZE AND MAINTAIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE MIXTURE
19:43:15 OF USES ALLOWED BY TU-24.
19:43:19 SPECIFICALLY, THE PLANNING COMMISSION CITE TO
19:43:25 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES, LAND USE POLICY 1.1.1 WHICH
19:43:29 RECOGNIZES THE CENTRAL TAMPA DISTRICT AND THE MIXED YOUTH
19:43:33 USE DEVELOPMENT AND URBAN LIFESTYLE THERE.
19:43:36 LAND USE OBJECTIVE 9.3, WHICH CALLS FOR SUSTAINABLE
19:43:41 NEIGHBORHOODS AND SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC HEALTH OF THE CITY.
19:43:46 LAND USE OBJECTIVE 9.6 TO INCREASE THE DENSITY AND
19:43:52 IMPROVE THE SUSTAINABILITIES OF MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL
19:43:54 AREAS.
19:43:57 LAND USE POLICY 9 POINT 6.1 ENCOURAGES THE DEVELOPMENT
19:44:00 AND RETENTION OF A DIVERSITY OF MULTIFAMILY HOUSING TYPES
19:44:04 TO MEET THE CITY'S PRESENT AND FUTURE POPULATIONS.
19:44:08 LAND USE POLICY 9.6.2 WHICH PROMOTES A RESIDENTIAL
19:44:13 DEVELOPMENT PATTERN CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPACT CITY
19:44:16 FORUM STRATEGY, AND INCREASED AVAILABILITY OF HOUSING, OF
19:44:20 DENSITIES THAT PROMOTE WALKING AND TRANSIT USE NEAR
19:44:24 EMPLOYMENT CENTERS.
19:44:25 THERE'S ALSO POLICIES IN THE HOUSING ELEMENT, HOUSING
19:44:29 OBJECTIVE 1.3 ENCOURAGING THE ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF HOUSING
19:44:33 THAT'S AVAILABLE TO MEET THE CITY'S NEEDS.
19:44:35 HOUSING POLICY 1.3.1 DESIGNATING SUFFICIENT LAND FOR
19:44:40 RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TO ACCOMMODATE TAMPA'S SHARE OF
19:44:43 REGIONAL HOUSING -- HOUSEHOLD GROWTH.
19:44:46 HOUSING POLICY 1.3.3, MONITOR THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
19:44:51 TO ENSURE THERE ARE ADEQUATE SITES TO ACCOMMODATE DEMAND.
19:44:55 AND FINALLY, POLICY 1.3.4 ENCOURAGING NEW HOUSING OR
19:45:00 VACANT IN-FILL OR UNDERUTILIZED LAND, WHICH THIS IS
19:45:04 UNDERUTILIZED.
19:45:05 AND HOUSING POLICY 1.3.6, CONTINUE TO DEVELOP A
19:45:10 COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY FOR PROVIDING ADDITIONAL WORKFORCE
19:45:12 HOUSING SERVING MODERATE TO MIDDLE INCOME WORKERS IN
19:45:15 TAMPA.
19:45:18 SO WITH THAT WE REQUEST THAT THE CITY APPROVE THIS
19:45:23 REZONING TO RM-24, AND I'M HEAR FOR QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE
19:45:29 THEM.
19:45:29 ALSO, MATTHEW NORMAN WITH VAUGHAN'S ENGINEERING, OUR

19:46:57 NEXT WE MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER 6.
19:46:58 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: ITEM NUMBER 6, REZ 19-56, A REZONING
19:47:07 REQUEST FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 302 EAST 7TH AVENUE
19:47:11 FROM RM-24 TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR ATTACHED
19:47:14 SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.
19:47:15 >> DANNY COLLINS WITH YOU'RE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
19:47:34 I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.
19:47:36 OUR NEXT CASE IS IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT
19:47:38 AND MORE SPECIFICALLY IN THE TAMPA HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:47:42 THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED IN PROXIMITY TO TRANSIT.
19:47:46 THERE'S A TRANSIT STOP AT THE CORNER OF WEST PALM AVENUE
19:47:48 AND NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE.
19:47:50 THE CLOSEST RECREATION FACILITY IS FERNANDO MESA PARK
19:47:57 APPROXIMATELY A QUARTER MAIL NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
19:47:59 THE SITE IS NOT IN AN EVACUATION ZONE.
19:48:03 THIS IS AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND SURROUNDING
19:48:06 PROPERTIES.
19:48:07 IT'S HARD TO SEE BUT THE SUBJECT SITE IS HERE.
19:48:09 IT'S OUTLINED IN THE COLOR PURPLE.
19:48:12 THIS IS WEST 7th AVENUE.
19:48:16 AND THEN GOING NORTH TO SOUTH HERE IS NORTH MORGAN
19:48:20 STREET.
19:48:21 THIS IS INTERSTATE 275 NORTH.
19:48:25 RUNNING TO THE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
19:48:31 THIS IS THE ADOPTIVE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
19:48:34 THE SITE SHOWN HERE AND OUTLINED FROM PURPLE.
19:48:37 IT'S IN THE RESIDENTIAL 83 FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY WHICH
19:48:41 IS ONE OF THE HIGHER MORE INTENSIVE RESIDENTIAL
19:48:44 CATEGORIES.
19:48:45 IT'S SURROUNDED BY RESIDENTIAL 83 ON ALL SIDES.
19:48:48 JUST TO THE WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE YOU WILL SEE SOME CC
19:48:51 35 WHICH IS SHOWN IN THE COLOR OF RED.
19:48:54 AND THEN TO THE NORTH YOU WILL SEE SOME TRANSITION
19:48:58 RESIDENTIAL 35.
19:49:01 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE APPLICATION
19:49:03 AND FOUND NO ADVERSE IMPACTS TO THE SURROUNDING
19:49:06 NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:49:06 THE REQUEST WOULD ALLOW FOR COMPATIBLE DEVELOPMENT WITHIN
19:49:09 AN AREA PLANNED FOR UP TO 83 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.
19:49:13 THE REQUEST FURTHER POLICIES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
19:49:18 THAT RELATES TO HOUSING IN THE CITY'S POPULATION.
19:49:20 THE PLAN ENCOURAGES DEVELOPMENT AND RETENTION AND
19:49:23 DIVERSITY OF HOUSING TYPES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF TAMPA'S
19:49:26 PRESENT AND FUTURE POPULATIONS.
19:49:28 BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
19:49:30 FOUND THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
19:49:33 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
19:49:37 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: PLANNING DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
19:49:45 COORDINATION.
19:49:47 AGAIN, THIS IS A REZONING REQUEST FOR PROPERTY RM-24 AND
19:49:53 THEY ARE REQUESTING TO REZONE TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR
19:49:58 ATTACHED SINGLE-FAMILY, A TOTAL OF 15 DWELLING UNITS.
19:50:01 THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT THE VERY CORNER OF THE TAMPA
19:50:06 HEIGHTS HISTORIC DISTRICT.
19:50:09 AND I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU A MAP, A ZONING MAP.
19:50:13 I'M SORRY, AN AERIAL MAP OF THE SURROUNDING AREA.
19:50:19 THE SURROUNDING AREA.
19:50:31 AND THIS AREA ENCOMPASSES THE TAMPA HEIGHTS HISTORIC
19:50:35 DISTRICT. THIS PROPERTY IS ON THE EDGE.
19:50:38 IT'S CURRENTLY AN UNDERUTILIZED PARKING LOT.
19:50:43 AND THEY WILL MAKE A FULL PRESENTATION WHEN I CONCLUDE.
19:50:46 THEY ARE REQUESTING 15 TOTAL DWELLING UNITS, ATTACHED.
19:50:51 THIS HAS COME BEFORE THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE
19:50:55 COMMISSION FOR REVIEW, BECAUSE IT IS IN TAMPA HEIGHTS
19:51:00 HISTORIC DISTRICT.
19:51:01 THEY DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL WITH THE CONSIDERATIONS THAT
19:51:03 THIS IS FOUND ON THE STAFF REPORT ON PAGE 2, THAT THE
19:51:07 APPLICANT PROVIDE A AN OCCASION REGARDING GRANITE CURBS
19:51:11 AND DETAILING AND THE PROPOSES FENCING ON THE SITE PLAN.
19:51:19 I HAVE MADE NOTES BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING IF YOU
19:51:22 MOVE TO APPROVE THIS APPLICATION.
19:51:24 AS FAR AS THE SITE DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA, AND LAYOUT,
19:51:32 THERE IS THE ESSENTIAL DRIVE AISLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
19:51:35 PROPERTY.
19:51:35 THESE ARE FRONT DOORS ALL FACING THE MAIN STREET.
19:51:42 A FRONT DOOR FACING THIS STREET.
19:51:45 SIX UNITS HERE, THEY DO REQUEST A WAIVER FOR NOT FACING A
19:51:51 PUBLIC STREET.
19:51:52 STAFF DID NOT HAVE ANY DESIGN PROBLEMS WITH THAT WAIVER
19:51:56 REQUEST, THAT THE FRONT DOOR DOES NOT FACE THE STREET.
19:52:01 THEY DID PROVIDE GUEST PARKING SPACES.
19:52:03 HOWEVER BASED ON THE TOTAL NUMBER OF UNITS THEY ARE
19:52:05 REQUIRED 34 PARKING SPACES.
19:52:07 THEY ARE ONLY PROVIDING 32.
19:52:08 SO THAT THE 6% PARKING WAIVER REDUCTION.
19:52:12 TRANSPORTATION DID FIND IT INCONSISTENT BECAUSE OF THE
19:52:14 PARKING REDUCTION.
19:52:16 BUT AGAIN THEY ARE REQUIRED 34.
19:52:17 THEY ARE GOING DOWN TO 32 SPACES.
19:52:20 THE ONLY OTHER WAIVERS THAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR BASED ON
19:52:25 THE TOTAL NUMBER OF UNIVERSITIES, IT'S 5,250 SQUARE FEET.
19:52:30 THEY ARE ASKING TO GO DOWN TO 3,660 SQUARE FEET WITH
19:52:35 PAYMENT IN LIEU AT THE TIME OF PERMITTING.
19:52:37 AND THEN A USE-TO-USE BUFFER ALONG THE EAST PROPERTY
19:52:40 LINE.
19:52:44 IT ONLY GOES DOWN TO FIVE IN THIS SPECIFIC LOCATION
19:52:48 BECAUSE OF THE REQUIRED BACKUP DISTANCE TO PULL INTO THE
19:52:51 PARKING SPACES.
19:52:54 AS FAR AS THE OVERALL DESIGN, IT'S AN RM-24 LAND USE
19:52:59 CATEGORY, BUT THE APPLICANT IN EFFECT IN ORDER TO DO A
19:53:07 PRODUCT, THE RM-24 ZONING DISTRICT STANDARDS WITH
19:53:11 SETBACKS IN THE HEIGHT DON'T NECESSARILY CONFORM WITH
19:53:14 THOSE OF THE ARC AND THE HISTORIC DISTRICT SO THE PD
19:53:17 PROCESS IS A GOOD WAY TO IMPLEMENT THE DESIGN ELEMENTS OF
19:53:22 THE TAMPA HEIGHTS HISTORIC DISTRICT AS FAR AS BUILDING
19:53:25 AND MASSING IS DEFERRED TO BY CITY STAFF.
19:53:29 THERE IS A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION
19:53:31 STAFF IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
19:53:34 THERE ARE CHANGES BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING FOUND
19:53:37 IN THE STAFF REPORT FROM PLANNING DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
19:53:40 COORDINATION.
19:53:40 SOME MINOR CHANGES IN THE SITE PLAN.
19:53:42 AGAIN, TRANSPORTATION DID FIND IT INCONSISTENT WITH A 6%
19:53:47 PARKING REDUCTION.
19:53:48 AND THERE IS ONE CHANGE TO THE SITE DATA TABLE.
19:53:53 AND LANDSCAPING INFORMATION FROM NATURAL RESOURCES.
19:53:56 SO OVERALL THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DID FIND THIS
19:54:00 INCONSISTENT BECAUSE OF THE 6% PARKING WAIVER.
19:54:02 DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
19:54:04 >>LUIS VIERA: ANY QUESTIONS?
19:54:06 THANK YOU, MA'AM.
19:54:06 APPLICANT, PLEASE.
19:54:07 >> MY NAME IS ROBERT COVINGTON AND I WAS SWORN IN
19:54:19 EARLIER, THE DEVELOPER FOR THE PROJECT.
19:54:21 AND LIKE SHE SAID BEFORE, LIKE STAFF SAID BEFORE, WE DID
19:54:24 HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH BOTH ARC AND ALSO I HAD
19:54:27 EXTENSIVE MEETING WITH THE CITY COUNCIL AND TAMPA HEIGHTS
19:54:33 CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
19:54:35 AND I MET WITH THE COMMUNITY TWICE IN REGARDS TO THE
19:54:37 PROJECT.
19:54:38 WE CAME UP WITH ONE DESIGN.
19:54:39 THEY HAD SOME CONCERNS.
19:54:41 WE REVISED THE DESIGNS TO FIT THEIR NEEDS.
19:54:44 WE PRESENTED AGAIN.
19:54:45 AND THE COMMUNITY IN THE AREA WAS VERY PLEASED WITH WHAT
19:54:47 WE PRESENTED.
19:54:48 OUR MAIN FOCUS WAS TO PAY HOMAGE TO THE AREA, WHICH IS A
19:54:52 VICTORIAN INFLUENCE PRODUCT, AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE DID.
19:54:57 WHAT WE PRESENTED TO THE COMMUNITY IS A VICTORIAN
19:55:00 PRODUCT.
19:55:00 AND WE ARE ACTUALLY PROUD OF, WE ARE HAPPY ABOUT.
19:55:04 AND I WOULD SAY WE ASKED FOR A COUPLE OF VARIANCES BUT
19:55:08 THINGS THAT WE PRESENTED TOTS CITY AND THEY WERE PRETTY
19:55:11 HAPPY WITH IT.
19:55:13 DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
19:55:15 >>LUIS VIERA: ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT?
19:55:16 MR. SHELBY.
19:55:17 >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOU HAVE MADE REFERENCE TO DISCUSSIONS
19:55:20 WITH THE CITY COUNCIL.
19:55:21 DID YOU MEAN --
19:55:22 >> NO, I APOLOGIZE.
19:55:23 IT'S FOR TAMPA HEIGHTS ASSOCIATION.
19:55:24 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE TAMPA HEIGHTS ASSOCIATION.
19:55:27 >> I'M SORRY.
19:55:28 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT'S OKAY.
19:55:31 >>LUIS VIERA: I WAS GOING TO SAY, I HAVE NO PRESENT
19:55:33 RECOLLECTION.
19:55:34 [ LAUGHTER ]
19:55:35 >> I DON'T KNOW IF YOU RECEIVED A LETTER BUT THEY
19:55:38 ACTUALLY GAVE A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION.
19:55:40 >>MARTIN SHELBY: DO YOU WANT TO PUT THAT THE INTO THE
19:55:41 RECORD?
19:55:42 >> SURE.
19:55:42 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYTHING ELSE SIR?
19:55:44 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
19:55:44 IS ANYONE HERE TO COMMENT ON THIS ITEM AT ALL?
19:55:50 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MOVE TO CLOSE.
19:55:51 >> SECOND.
19:55:53 >>LUIS VIERA: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
19:55:54 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THERE ARE DRAWINGS ON THE FOURTH AND
19:56:02 FIFTH PAGES THAT SHOW THE PROPOSED ELEVATIONS IN A LOT OF
19:56:08 DETAIL.
19:56:12 [RUSTLING PAPERS] THE VICTORIAN REFERENCE THAT PETITIONER
19:56:17 MADE REFERENCE TO.
19:56:22 I DON'T KNOW IF THIS QUESTION IS TO STAFF OR TO LEGAL.
19:56:26 IF THAT IS PART OF THE PD SUBMITTAL, ARE THEY NOW ABLE TO
19:56:31 DO THAT, TO DO THESE ELEVATIONS?
19:56:33 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: PLANNING DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
19:56:36 COORDINATION.
19:56:37 TYPICALLY, PER THE CODE REQUIREMENT, BUILDING, DESIGN
19:56:42 ELEVATIONS ARE REQUIRED TO BE SUBMITTED WITH THE PLANNED
19:56:44 DEVELOPMENT.
19:56:45 TYPICALLY THOSE ARE FOR MASS AND SCALE AND THE APPLICANTS
19:56:48 ARE NOT NECESSARILY HELD TO THE SPECIFIC ARCHITECTURAL
19:56:52 DESIGN.
19:56:52 HOWEVER, IN THIS INSTANCE, THEY DID GO BEFORE THE ARC AND
19:56:57 DID PRESENT ELEVATIONS TO GET THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS ON
19:57:00 THE REZONING.
19:57:02 I AM SURE THAT THE APPLICANT INCLUDED THOSE EXACT
19:57:04 ELEVATIONS IN THIS PD PACKET SO THEY MATCH WHAT THE ARC A
19:57:10 R REVIEWED AND DID APPROVE.
19:57:12 HOWEVER, SAYING THAT, BECAUSE IT IS IN A HISTORIC
19:57:15 DISTRICT, WHEN THE SPECIFICS OF THE ARCHITECTURAL
19:57:17 STANDARDS COME FORWARD, THEY WILL HAVE TO GET A
19:57:19 CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FROM THE ARC.
19:57:23 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO IF THEY JUST FOR ARGUMENT SAKE, IF
19:57:28 THEY STRAYED FROM THE DESIGNS THAT WERE PRESENTED TO THE
19:57:32 ARC, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE ARC TO
19:57:38 ADDRESS THAT?
19:57:41 >>REBECCA KERT: LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
19:57:44 THIS DID END UP BEING A LEGAL QUESTION.
19:57:45 THEY WILL HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE ARC ANYWAY, WHAT THE
19:57:50 HARC DID AT THAT HEARING WAS MAKE A RECOMMENDATION ON THE
19:57:52 REZONING.
19:57:52 SO AS FAR AS THE FINAL ARCHITECTURAL APPROVAL, IT WILL BE
19:57:57 UNDER YOUR CODE DELEGATED TO THE ARC.
19:58:01 WHERE THEY COULD VARY FROM THESE PLANS BUT THEY STILL
19:58:04 WILL HAVE THE MEET THE TAMPA HEIGHTS DESIGN GUIDELINES
19:58:07 AND YOUR CHAPTER 27 HISTORIC GUIDELINES.
19:58:11 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.
19:58:12 >>LUIS VIERA: ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE WE CLOSE?
19:58:14 OKAY.
19:58:14 WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
19:58:16 SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CITRO.
19:58:18 ALL IN FAVOR?
19:58:19 ANY OPPOSED?

20:22:37 IF IT IS CITY COUNCIL'S PLEASURE YOU CAN OPEN THESE AND

20:26:18 CSX RAILROAD, TRANCE PLANNING, URBAN DESIGN, AND TRAFFIC
20:26:24 DESIGN.
20:26:24 I DO BELIEVE I HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM CSX HERE THAT
20:26:27 WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THEIR OBJECTION AND ALSO JONATHAN
20:26:30 SCOTT HERE TO REPRESENT TRANSPORTATION AND PLANNING FOR
20:26:33 THEIR OBJECTION.
20:26:34 IF YOU CHOOSE TO APPROVE THIS VACATING REQUEST EASEMENTS
20:26:40 WILL BE RESERVED.

20:26:50 IN REGARDS TO TREE PRESERVATION, NEED TO REMOVE ANY

20:26:57 I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO NOTE THAT THE REZONING APPLICATION
20:27:01 IS NOT CONTINGENT ON THE VACATING.
20:27:03 SO IS THE YOU DENY THE VACATING THE REZONING CAN MOVE
20:27:07 FORWARD WITHOUT THIS.
20:27:08 THEY HAVE TO REVISE THEIR SITE PLAN AND TAKE THAT'S IT.
20:27:18 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. COOKE, CAN YOU PUT UP THE VERY
20:27:20 FIRST AERIAL MAP?
20:27:24 >>JAMES COOK: AERIAL?

20:27:27 SO THE VACATING THERE IN YELLOW THAT'S ON THE EAST SIDE
20:27:39 DIRECTLY UP TO THE CSX RIGHT-OF-WAY?
20:27:41 >> CSX RIGHT-OF-WAY IS RATE HERE.
20:27:45 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THERE'S NO CONNECTION TO ANY OTHER
20:27:46 STREET OR ANYTHING ELSE?
20:27:49 >> FROM THE PIECE THEY WANT TO VACATE.
20:27:53 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IT DOESN'T --
20:27:55 >> THERE WAS AN OLD ALLEY RIGHT HERE PREVIOUSLY VACATED
20:27:57 SOMETIME BACK THAT RUNS NORTH-SOUTH RIGHT THROUGH THIS
20:28:00 BLOCK.
20:28:02 THIS IS IMPROVED RIGHT-OF-WAY.
20:28:03 THIS IS IMPROVED RIGHT-OF-WAY.
20:28:06 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YOU SAY OBJECTIONS FROM CSX AND
20:28:09 TRANSPORTATION.
20:28:09 WHO ELSE EXACTLY?
20:28:11 >> URBAN DESIGN AND TRAFFIC DESIGN.
20:28:13 AND BASICALLY ALL FOUR OBJECTIONS ARE BASED B THE SAME
20:28:16 THING.
20:28:18 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: URBAN DESIGN, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM.
20:28:21 >> ACCESS TO URBAN CORRIDOR.
20:28:23 THERE'S A MASTER PLAN FOR GREENWAYS AND TRAILS PROJECT TO
20:28:26 USE THE CSX CORRIDOR AND POTENTIAL LIGHT RAIL IN THE
20:28:30 FUTURE.
20:28:31 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO AREN'T THERE OTHER WAYS TO GET INTO
20:28:34 THAT CSX CORRIDOR?
20:28:36 I AM LOOKING AT FIG, AND NORTH B, AND --
20:28:39 >> CSX IS HERE.
20:28:42 I CAN LET THEM TALK ABOUT THAT.
20:28:44 BECAUSE THERE ARE SEVERAL RIGHTS-OF-WAY ALONG THE
20:28:46 CORRIDOR THAT STILL EXIST.
20:28:48 BUT THERE ARE A LOT THAT HAVE BEEN VACATED OVER THE
20:28:51 YEARS.
20:28:51 NOTHING RECENTLY, THOUGH.
20:28:53 EVER SINCE THE MASTER PLAN HAS BEEN ADOPTED BY THE
20:28:55 PLANNING COMMISSION.
20:28:57 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I MEANT FROM THE CITY'S PERSPECTIVE IN
20:28:59 TERMS OF AN URBAN TRAIL.
20:29:01 I MEAN, IT'S NOT -- TO ME IT DOESN'T LOOK THAT CRITICAL
20:29:05 BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY OTHER PLACES TO --
20:29:09 >> I DON'T HAVE THE ACTUAL MAP.
20:29:11 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IF YOU RIDE YOUR BIKE TO THE
20:29:13 NEIGHBORHOOD AND YOU WANT TO GET ON THE TRAIL YOU COULD
20:29:15 GO FIG, CASS --
20:29:20 >>JAMES COOK: THEY REMOVED CASS FROM THIS PETITION SO
20:29:22 ORIGINALLY THEY WERE APPLYING FOR THAT JUST BASED ON THE
20:29:24 OBJECTION.
20:29:24 SO FIG WOULD STILL EXIST.
20:29:27 NORTH B IS GONE.
20:29:28 DOWN HERE IT DOESN'T -- KENNEDY IS RIGHT HERE, IT
20:29:31 CROSSES.
20:29:32 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: COULD WE REQUIRE THEM TO AT A MINIMUM
20:29:34 ALLOW PEDESTRIAN ACCESS THROUGH THERE, IF AND WHEN THERE
20:29:36 WAS A TRAIL?
20:29:39 >>JAMES COOK: THAT'S PART OF THE CONDITION IF YOU CHOOSE
20:29:40 TO APPROVE THIS, IT'S RESERVED IN THE ORDINANCE AN ACCESS
20:29:44 EASEMENT AND TRANSPORTATION.

20:37:10 A GOAL SINCE THE BEGINNING.
20:37:12 TRANSIT ORIENTED, WE ARE 82 FEET, IF YOU LOOK BACK AT THE
20:37:18 SITE PLAN, YOU WILL SEE WE ARE ADJACENT TO THE CSX RAIL
20:37:22 CORRIDOR, BUT THE ACTUAL RAIL LINE IS ON THE FAR EASTERN
20:37:26 SIDE, SO WE ARE 82 FEET AWAY FROM THAT.
20:37:29 THIRD, WE'LL HAVE AN URBAN POCKET PARK, AND THEN LASTLY,
20:37:34 WE BELIEVE THIS WILL HAVE A POSITIVE COMMUNITY IMPACT.
20:37:37 AND WITH THAT WE JUST WANTED TO THANK STAFF.
20:37:39 THIS IS AN OUT OF THE BOX DEVELOPMENT, AND THEY HAVE BEEN
20:37:43 GREAT THROUGHOUT.
20:37:45 AND I WANT TO THANK THEM FOR ALL THEIR EFFORTS.
20:37:47 WITH RESPECT TO THE VACATING, IF I COULD,.
20:38:02 WHEN WE WERE LAST IN FRONT OF YOU AND REQUESTED A
20:38:12 CONTINUANCE, WE ACTUALLY HAD TWO VACATINGS PROPOSED.
20:38:16 MOVE THIS UP.
20:38:18 SINCE THE SCRIPT IS RUNNING OVER IT.
20:38:20 ON THE BOTTOM, THIS IS FIG STREET.
20:38:22 WE WERE PROPOSING TO VACATE THIS SECTION HERE WHICH IS
20:38:24 ACTUALLY IMPROVED.
20:38:26 AND THEN ON THE NORTH SIDE, THIS IS PORTION OF CARMEN
20:38:30 WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNIMPROVED.
20:38:32 CSX AT THAT TIME WAS THE PRIMARY REASON FOR OUR
20:38:36 CONTINUANCE.
20:38:37 AND WHAT WE DID WAS WE DROPPED THE FIG VACATING
20:38:40 ALTOGETHER, THE IMPROVED SECTION.
20:38:42 LEAVING THE UNIMPROVED PORTION OF CARMEN.
20:38:45 SO WANTED TO JUST CLARIFY WHERE WE WERE BEFORE, AND WHERE
20:38:49 WE ARE NOW.
20:38:51 SO MR. DINGFELDER, YOU MENTIONED THERE ARE OTHER ACCESS
20:38:55 POINTS, BUT SPECIFICALLY WE WERE PROPOSING TO VACATE ON
20:38:58 THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH.
20:39:00 WE DROPPED THE VACATING TO THE SOUTH BUT WOULD LIKE TO
20:39:04 MAINTAIN THE CARMEN VACATING ON THE NORTH.
20:39:08 NEXT, AND JIMMY DID A GREAT JOB OF SHOWING THIS BUT THIS
20:39:15 IS JUST ANOTHER MAP SHOWING IN YELLOW IS OUR PROPERTY,
20:39:20 AGAIN GILCHRIST ON THE LEFT, CARMEN ON THE NORTH, FIG ON
20:39:24 THE SOUTH, EVERYTHING YOU SEE IN THE PURPLE COLOR ARE
20:39:28 EXISTING VACATINGS IN THAT IMMEDIATE AREA.
20:39:31 SO YOU CAN JUST SEE THE PATTERN OF VACATING THAT'S
20:39:34 OCCURRED.
20:39:34 AND THEN ANOTHER QUESTION THAT CAME UP EARLY ON, MR.
20:39:37 DINGFELDER, I BELIEVE IT WAS YOU, WHICH I THINK WAS THE
20:39:40 QUESTION WAS, IS THIS AT ALL IMPEDING ACCESS THROUGH THE
20:39:44 STREETS, NOT NECESSARILY TO THE CORRIDOR, BUT THROUGH THE
20:39:47 STREETS?
20:39:48 AND IF I MAY, WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS JUST THIS STUB
20:39:53 RIGHT HERE, SO NO N NO WAY DOES THAT IMPEDE THE ACCESS
20:39:57 FOR VEHICLES AROUND THERE AT ALL.
20:40:03 THEN WHERE THINGS REALLY GET INTERESTING, I THINK THIS IS
20:40:06 BOTH IRONIC BUT ALSO SPEAKS TO THE MERITS OF THE
20:40:09 VACATING, AS MARY MENTIONED, THERE ARE THREE PRIMARY
20:40:16 OBJECTIONS THAT APPLIED BOTH TO CSX, TO TRANCE
20:40:21 TRANSPORTATION, AS WELL AS URBAN DESIGN.
20:40:23 AND WHAT'S INTERESTING IS FOR THE VACATING AND
20:40:26 APPLICATION ITSELF, WHEN STAFF REVIEWS, ONE OF THE
20:40:32 REASONS WHY ONE OF THESE APPLICATIONS TO BE HEARD
20:40:34 TOGETHER IS BECAUSE I THINK THAT EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE
20:40:37 OBJECTIONS, WHAT WE ARE PROVIDING HERE DIRECTLY ANSWERS
20:40:41 THOSE OBJECTIONS.
20:40:43 SO WHAT I AM GOING TO BE REFERRING TO IS A BLOW-UP OF
20:40:46 JUST THAT SECTION RIGHT THERE.
20:40:48 OF CARMEN.
20:40:49 AND THIS IS WHAT IT WILL BECOME.
20:40:57 SO AGAIN, OBJECTIONS, MAINTAIN ACCESS TO A RAIL CORRIDOR,
20:41:06 TO TRANSPORTATION, A RAIL PAD ALONG THE CSX RIGHT-OF-WAY,
20:41:11 AND THREE, THIS IS THE GREENWAY AND TRAILS MASTER PLAN
20:41:14 AREA, AND WHICH GOES BACK TO THE ACCESS.
20:41:17 SO WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING, AGAIN, THIS IS JUST THAT LITTLE
20:41:20 STUB SECTION OF CARMEN, IS THIS POCKET PARK, EASEMENTS
20:41:24 WILL BE GRANTED BACK OVER FOR PEDESTRIAN, AS WELL AS FOR
20:41:27 VEHICLES, AND THEN YOU WILL NOTICE DIRECTLY -- AND AGAIN
20:41:31 THIS IS ON THE PD SITE PLAN AS A REQUIREMENT, THIS AREA
20:41:33 RIGHT HERE IS DESIGNATED FOR FUTURE RAIL PAD, ONE OF THE
20:41:39 EXACT OBJECTIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION, AND THEN SECONDLY,
20:41:41 ACCESS.
20:41:43 THIS IS PEDESTRIAN ACCESS.
20:41:45 AND AGAIN TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT IS NOT ALLOWING US TO
20:41:49 PUT ANY SORT OF PERMANENT FIXTURES OR FURNITURE OR
20:41:52 IMPROVEMENTS IN THIS, SO VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO BE ABLE TO
20:41:54 TRAVERSE IT TOO.
20:41:56 SO WE THINK IT HAS THE BENEFIT OF ACTING LIKE A PARK,
20:42:00 GREAT FOR A DOG PARK.
20:42:03 WE WANT IT TO SERVE, WE WANT THIS TO BE ONE OF THE
20:42:09 PRIMARY POINTS OF ACCESS TO THAT TRAIL HEAD.
20:42:19 FURTHER, JUST ONE FOLLOW-UP ON THE VACATING ITSELF.
20:42:23 IF IT'S APPROVED, THE DEVELOPER WOULD HANDLE ALL THOSE
20:42:27 IMPROVEMENTS, ALL THE ONGOING MAINTENANCE, AND AGAIN
20:42:30 EASEMENTS WILL BE GRANTED BACK TO THE CITY.
20:42:32 SO IT WOULD FUNCTION AS IT WAS OPEN.
20:42:34 IT WOULD BE IMPROVED AS A PASSIVE PARK.
20:42:37 IT WOULD HAVE THE CONNECTIVITY.
20:42:38 IT WOULD HAVE THE RAIL PAD.
20:42:40 AND WE WOULD SIMPLY OWN IT AND TAKE CARE OF IT, WHICH IS
20:42:47 NO POSITION TO DO THAT THAN THE CITY BECAUSE THEY WILL BE
20:42:50 IMMEDIATELY NEXT DOOR TO IT.
20:42:52 SO THAT'S IT ON THE VACATING SIDE.
20:42:55 HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON IT NOW.
20:42:57 OR I CAN GO INTO THE REZONING AND ANSWER QUESTIONS ON
20:43:00 BOTH.
20:43:00 >>LUIS VIERA: ANY QUESTIONS ON THE VACATING?
20:43:02 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
20:43:04 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: NOT A QUESTION.
20:43:08 MR. GARDNER -- OFF WHAT YOU PROVIDED ELEVATION, ON PAGE
20:43:16 3, IT LOOKS LIKE THE APARTMENTS ARE DOWN ON THE FIRST
20:43:19 FLOOR.
20:43:22 >>TRUETT GARDNER: CORRECT.
20:43:23 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ALSO I SEE SOME ACCESS ON THIS
20:43:28 ELEVATION.
20:43:29 WHEN I LOOK AT THAT PICTURE THERE, IT IMPLIES MAYBE
20:43:35 COMMERCIAL?
20:43:42 >>TRUETT GARDNER: I SEE EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE TALKING
20:43:44 ABOUT.
20:43:44 AND WHAT'S INTERESTING IS, I AM GOING TO GET INTO
20:43:47 COMMUNITY OUTREACH.
20:43:48 BUT ONE OF THE COMMENTS THAT WE GOT EARLY ON WAS FOR
20:43:54 COMMERCIAL, THE FEELING IS SINCE IT'S INTERNAL TO A
20:43:57 BLOCK, THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN NOT PROVIDING COMMERCIAL
20:43:59 IS PROVIDING COMMERCIAL THAT DOESN'T WORK.
20:44:03 THE OUTREACH TURNED OUT TO BE THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT, BUT
20:44:07 WHAT THEY DID ASK FOR WAS TO TRY TO ACTIVATE THAT GROUND
20:44:11 LEVEL.
20:44:12 SO INITIALLY, ALL THOSE UNITS DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO
20:44:16 ACCESS THEM FROM THE STREET LEVEL.
20:44:19 WE THOUGHT THAT WAS A GREAT SUGGESTION, WENT BACK TO THE
20:44:22 DRAWING BOARD, AND BASICALLY ALL THOSE GROUND FLOOR UNITS
20:44:26 ARE WALK-UPS SIMILAR TO A BROWNSTONE TYPE DEVELOPMENT YOU
20:44:30 WOULD SEE.
20:44:30 SO WE FELT THAT WAS A GREAT SUGGESTION AND PLAYED THE
20:44:33 CHANGES AS A RESULT OF IT.
20:44:35 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ONE OF THE FIRST PROJECTS THAT CAME
20:44:36 ALONG BARK IN THIS AREA BEHIND U.T., LINDA SAUL-SENA AND
20:44:42 I WERE IN THE SAME POSITION, IT WAS 15 YEARS AGO.
20:44:48 >> THAT WAS PRETTY NORMAL FOR THE TWO OF YOU.
20:44:50 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN DOING IT.
20:44:51 BUT WE BOTH ASKED FOR THAT GROUND FLOOR WALK-DOWN ACCESS.
20:44:55 AND WHEN I DRIVE BY, I STILL SEE IT TODAY.
20:44:58 AND I THINK IT'S KIND OF NICE, BECAUSE PERHAPS PEOPLE
20:45:00 ACTUALLY USE IT.
20:45:02 INSTEAD OF HAVING TO GO INTO THE BUILDING OR USE THEIR
20:45:05 CAR OR WHATEVER.
20:45:06 MAYBE THEY CAN JUST WALK OUT THEIR STEPS AND BE RIGHT
20:45:09 THERE.
20:45:09 >> AND ONE OF THE GROUPS WE WERE TALKING TO FELT THAT AND
20:45:13 THEY HAD A STUDY TO REFLECT IT THAT THE RENTS WERE HIGHER
20:45:16 ON THOSE GROUND FLOORS WITH THE ACCESS, MAINLY THIS IS
20:45:21 ANECDOTAL, BUT WITH A PATH MUCH BETTER TO WALK DIRECTLY
20:45:25 OUT THAN WALK THROUGH THE CORRIDORS AND OUT.
20:45:27 AGAIN WE THOUGHT THAT WAS A GREAT SUGGESTION AND
20:45:29 INCORPORATED IT INTO THE PLAN.
20:45:32 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WE ARE NOT REPRESENTING COMMERCIAL
20:45:35 HERE.
20:45:37 >>TRUETT GARDNER: NO.
20:45:39 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PIGGYBACKING ON THAT I LIKE THE
20:45:42 ACCESS ON THAT ACCESS ON THAT GROUND LEVEL.
20:45:46 HOW ABOUT THOSE PALM TREES?
20:45:47 CAN WE HAVE REGULAR SHADE TREES?
20:45:50 PEOPLE ARE USING THOSE ACCESS POINTS.
20:45:52 IS THAT AN ISSUE WHERE CONCRETE PROVIDES LITTLE TO
20:45:56 NOTHING.
20:45:59 >>TRUETT GARDNER: WE ARE NOT COMMITTED AT THIS POINT TO
20:46:01 ANY SPECIMEN TREE.
20:46:02 I CAN TELL YOU IT'S A TIGHT AND CHALLENGING SITE.
20:46:06 AND THEN I BELIEVE THERE ARE SOME ACTIVE LINES ABOVE.
20:46:10 BUT THE CITY CODE PROVIDES A WHOLE HOST OF TREES THAT
20:46:14 WORK, THAT STAY OUT OF THE POWER LINES.
20:46:16 >> SO YOU ARE NOT COMMITTED TOTE PALM TREES?
20:46:19 >> NO.
20:46:20 THAT'S PART OF THE REASON FOR THE PALMS, FOR THE
20:46:22 ARCHITECT, THAT YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO NOT ONLY SEE THE
20:46:25 TREES BUT SEE THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE BUILDING BUT WE ARE
20:46:27 NOT COMMITTED TO PALMS.
20:46:30 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: JUST AS A SUGGESTION FOR TREES THAT
20:46:33 DO OFFER SHADE AND WHAT NOT, SINCE YOU FOCUS SO MUCH ON
20:46:37 THAT GROUND LEVEL ACCESS, SO PEOPLE WILL BE UTILIZING
20:46:40 THAT SIDEWALK.
20:46:42 >>TRUETT GARDNER: I APPRECIATE THE COMMENT.
20:46:43 WE'LL PASS IT ON.
20:46:44 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYONE ELSE?
20:46:46 AND I ALSO HAVE A SUGGESTION THAT YOU HAVE A SUBWAY ON
20:46:50 THE FIRST FLOOR.
20:46:51 [ LAUGHTER ]
20:46:54 >>TRUETT GARDNER: THANK YOU.
20:46:55 DULY NOTED.
20:46:56 BUT NOT A RUBY TUESDAY'S.
20:47:02 ON THE REZONING, MOST OF THE OBJECTIONS WERE ON THE
20:47:05 VACATING SIDE.
20:47:06 I DO WANT TO TOUCH ON THE REZONING.
20:47:10 AS MARY STATED, STAFF FOUND IT TO BE CONSISTENT.
20:47:14 THAT INCLUDED PLANNING COMMISSION AS WELL AS THE PLANNING
20:47:16 AND ZONING STAFF.
20:47:17 WE DO HAVE THE ONE TECHNICAL OBJECTION ON TRANSPORTATION.
20:47:22 WITH RESPECT TO NOTICES AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH, ALL WE
20:47:25 HAVE HEARD IS NOTHING BUT POSITIVES.
20:47:27 I HAVE GOT FOUR LETTERS OF SUPPORT THAT I WILL SUBMIT AT
20:47:30 THE END.
20:47:32 SO NOTHING BUT POSITIVES THERE.
20:47:34 PEOPLE REALLY GET THIS.
20:47:36 UNDERSTAND IT.
20:47:37 WHEN WE TALK THROUGH THEM ABOUT THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS,
20:47:39 THE LIGHT BULB WENT ON ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT
20:47:43 THE SITE CURRENTLY IS USED FOR.
20:47:45 AND WITH RESPECT TO PARKING, TWO THINGS.
20:47:48 ONE, I HAVE A LETTER THAT WAS ACTUALLY JUST MODIFIED
20:47:51 TONIGHT THAT I WILL SUBMIT FOR THE RECORD.
20:47:56 THIS IS FROM OUR CONSULTANTS AND KIMLEY-HORN.
20:47:59 AND THE CONCLUSION IS, AGAIN, WE ARE PROPOSING 333
20:48:07 PARKING SPACES, TOTAL REQUIRED PROPOSED 382.
20:48:12 THAT'S THE 13% REDUCTION.
20:48:15 AND KIMLEY-HORN DID A STUDY WHICH WE DID OUR OWN ANALYSIS
20:48:19 OF OTHER AREAS.
20:48:20 I AM GOING TO FOCUS ON ONE ASPECT OF THEIRS WHICH IS
20:48:23 USING THE TRIP GENERATION TABLE AND THEIR CONCLUSION WAS
20:48:28 THAT 329 WOULD BE REQUIRED, AND WE ARE PROVIDING 333.
20:48:33 I'LL SUBMIT THIS.
20:48:35 BUT THAT'S THEIR CONCLUSION.
20:48:38 AND YOU CAN SEE IT'S AN OFFICIAL LETTER FROM THE
20:48:40 TRANSPORTATION ANALYST AND SIGNED AND SEALED.
20:48:43 THE COMPARISON THAT WE DID, WHICH I THINK IS REALLY
20:48:45 INTERESTING FOR COUNCIL, AND I KNOW THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN
20:48:48 COMING UP, BUT REALLY SO YOU CAN SEE IT.
20:48:50 SO WITH THIS NORTH HYDE PARK AREA OBVIOUSLY ADJACENT TO
20:48:54 DOWNTOWN, VERY URBAN, INTENDED TO BE VERY URBAN, SO WHAT
20:48:59 WE DID IS WE TOOK OUR PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, 251 UNITS,
20:49:05 ONCE YOU APPLIED CITY CODE YOU SEND END UP WITH 33
20:49:08 PARKING SPACES WHICH INCLUDES NOT ONLY THE SPACES FOR THE
20:49:12 UNITS BUT ALSO THE VISITOR COUNT, AND SO 333 MATCHES WITH
20:49:17 THE 3282 REQUIRED, THAT'S OUR 13% REDUCTION.
20:49:21 AND WHEN YOU LOOK TO SEMINOLE HEIGHTS, WHICH I THINK YOU
20:49:24 CAN ARGUE IS LESS DENSE THAN THIS AREA, AND INTENDED TO
20:49:28 BE LESS DENSE THAN THIS AREA, THEY HAVE THE SAME GENERAL
20:49:33 PARKING REQUIREMENT.
20:49:34 THEY DO NOT HAVE THEIR OWN PARKING CODES, DO NOT HAVE
20:49:38 THAT VISITOR REQUIREMENT THAT WE HAVE TO WAIVE SO OFTEN,
20:49:42 BUT SMARTLY THEY HAVE OFFSETS, IF YOU NEED BICYCLE
20:49:44 PARKING, IT OFFSETS IF YOU DO MOTORCYCLE PARKING.
20:49:48 SO WE HAVE IN OUR DEVELOPMENT 55 BIKE PARKING SPACES AND
20:49:54 13 MOTORCYCLE SPACES THAT WE ARE NOT GETTING CREDIT FOR.
20:49:58 SO IF THIS DEVELOPMENT WAS JUST IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS
20:50:00 ALONE, PARKING REQUIRED WOULD BE 261, WE ARE PROVIDING
20:50:05 233.
20:50:06 MORE TELLING DOWNTOWN TO THE CBD AND THE CHANNEL
20:50:09 DISTRICT, WHEN YOU APPLY THOSE, I THINK PROBABLY THE BEST
20:50:14 ANALOGY IS THE CHANNEL DISTRICT, ON THE EAST SIDE OF
20:50:17 DOWNTOWN. THIS IS ON THE WEST SIDE OF DOWNTOWN.
20:50:19 THOSE HAVE THE SAME PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
20:50:22 IF THIS DEVELOPMENT WAS IN EITHER OF THE CHANNEL DISTRICT
20:50:24 OR THE CDB, 152 SPACES REQUIRED WHICH IS BASICALLY HALF
20:50:30 OF WHAT IT IS THAT WE ARE PROVIDING.
20:50:32 SO WITH THAT WE FEEL THAT THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THE
20:50:36 PARKING WAIVER IS FAIR AND REASONABLE.
20:50:39 THE LAST THING THIS DEVELOPER WANTS, AND ITS END LENDING
20:50:44 PARTNERS, IS TO CREATE A DEVELOPMENT THAT DOESN'T PARK
20:50:45 ITSELF AND FAILS AS A RESULT OF IT.
20:50:48 WE FEEL THAT WE HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH PARKING, AND THIS
20:50:51 TRULY IS GOING TO BE AN ATTAINABLE PROJECT.
20:50:54 THE COST OF THESE SPACES IS EXORBITANT SO YOU NEED TO
20:50:57 KEEP THOSE DOWN.
20:50:59 I THINK WE COULD ARGUE THAT FURTHER JUSTIFICATION IS
20:51:02 WARRANTED BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED.
20:51:04 BUT WE FEEL THIS IS APPROPRIATE FOR THIS AND HOPE IT'S
20:51:10 JUSTIFIED IN YOUR EYES.
20:51:13 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YOUR TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC, WHO DO YOU
20:51:17 LOOK AT, YOUR CUSTOMER BASE HERE?
20:51:20 IS IT GOING TO BE STUDENTS?
20:51:22 >>TRUETT GARDNER: THAT QUESTION HAS COME UP ALL THE TIME.
20:51:24 THIS IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A STUDENT HOUSING DEVELOPMENT.
20:51:28 THOSE ARE SPECIALIZED DEVELOPERS THAT DO THOSE.
20:51:31 THERE PROBABLY WILL BE SOME STUDENTS, BUT IT WILL BE
20:51:34 CONTROLLED, WHEN YOU HAVE A STUDENT HOUSING DEVELOPMENT,
20:51:37 IT'S ITS OWN MANAGEMENT GROUP THAT SPECIALIZES.
20:51:40 THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE AT ALL.
20:51:42 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO, AND THE REASON I ASK IS BECAUSE
20:51:45 NOT EVERYBODY OWNS A CAR OR CHOOSES TO OWN A CAR.
20:51:47 YOU ARE PROVIDING AN ADD QUALITY NUMBER, I BELIEVE A
20:51:50 SMALL REDUCTION CONSIDERING THE SIZE, AND THE VICINITY OF
20:51:54 DOWNTOWN, AND THE PLACES THAT POTENTIAL RESIDENTS COULD
20:51:59 BE WORKING OUT, WHATEVER, TO GET AROUND.
20:52:03 I DON'T THINK IT'S AN UNREASONABLE WAIVER REQUEST.
20:52:06 AND IF THAT'S THE ONLY REASON THAT THEY FOUND IT
20:52:08 INCONSISTENT, THIS IS NOTHING.
20:52:15 >>TRUETT GARDNER: AND THAT IS THE ONLY REASON FOR THE
20:52:17 INCONSISTENCY.
20:52:17 THAT BEING SAID, IN FULL CANDOR, WE HAVE AS I MENTIONED
20:52:20 BEFORE, IT'S A CHALLENGING SITE.
20:52:22 WE HAVE GOT A TOTAL OF 7 WAIVERS.
20:52:24 I HAVE GOT JUSTIFICATIONS FOR EACH OF THOSE 7.
20:52:27 ONE OF THE 7 IS THE PARKING.
20:52:29 WHICH WE TOUCHED ON.
20:52:31 SO ON REBUTTAL, OR IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS NOW ON ANY OF
20:52:34 THOSE, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS THEM.
20:52:37 >>LUIS VIERA: ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS?
20:52:40 >>TRUETT GARDNER: I WILL JUST CLOSE WITH SUBMITTING FOUR
20:52:42 LETTERS FOR THE RECORD FROM IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORS AS WELL
20:52:47 AS STAKEHOLDERS, AND ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY
20:52:53 WANTED TO EXPRESS THEIR SUPPORT.
20:52:55 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
20:53:00 AND NOTHING ELSE, MR. GARDNER?
20:53:03 >>TRUETT GARDNER: NOT AT THIS TIME, NO.
20:53:05 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
20:53:05 IS ANYONE HERE TO PUBLICLY COMMENT ON ITEMS 11 AND 12?
20:53:09 IF SO, PLEASE COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME.
20:53:10 >> MY NAME IS LOLITA WHITEFIELD AND I INTEND TO BE
20:53:29 PRESENT TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT, BUT DUE TO THIS PROJECT
20:53:31 BEING THIS NUMBER 11 AND 12 ON THE AGENDA, I EXPECT A
20:53:38 LATE NIGHT AND I COULD NOT ATTEND.
20:53:40 I HAVE GAINED POSITION FOR MY LETTER TO BE READ.
20:53:48 THE FIRST LETTER IS FROM THE REZONING OF 1102 WEST
20:53:56 CARMEN.
20:53:57 HONORABLE COUNCIL MEMBERS, I AM WRITING FOR REQUEST FOR
20:54:03 11302 NORTH CARMEN STREET FROM IG TO PD FOR MICHAEL
20:54:09 FAMILY PROJECT.
20:54:10 THE PROJECT HAS BEEN REDESIGNED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE
20:54:13 NORTH OF HYDE PARK STREET LIGHT AND HAS CONSIDERED
20:54:17 CURRENT AND FUTURE CONNECTIONS TO ALTERNATE MODES OF
20:54:21 TRANSIT.
20:54:22 AND SOON TO BE INSTALLED CYCLE TRACKS ON CASS AND
20:54:29 OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHS TO RAIL.
20:54:33 AS OUR URBAN DEVELOPMENT GROWS, IT ALSO IS IMPORTANT THAT
20:54:38 DEVELOPMENT LIKE THIS SET ASIDE UNITS FOR MORE AFFORDABLE
20:54:43 RATES AND PROVIDE VARIETY TO ACCOMMODATE THE VARIETY
20:54:48 TYPE.
20:54:50 THIS PROJECT IS HAIL QUALIFIED DESIGN, AND FILLING THE
20:54:57 NORTH HYDE PARK AREA IN ADDITION TO THE PROJECT TEAM HAS
20:55:01 PROVIDED SUFFICIENT INVESTMENT TO THE WALKABILITY OF THE
20:55:08 NORTH HYDE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD BY SKY WALKS IMPROVEMENT TO
20:55:13 THAT COMMUNITY.
20:55:15 I HOPE YOU WILL AGREE AND WILL MOVE TO APPROVE THIS
20:55:19 PROJECT.
20:55:20 THIS IS BY TELLA GRAFF.
20:55:26 I HAD INTENDED TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT.
20:55:29 DUE TO THIS PROJECT BEING LISTED NUMBER 11 AND 12 ON THE
20:55:33 AGENDA, I EXPECT LATE NIGHT AND I CANNOT ATTEND.
20:55:38 I HAVE GIVEN PERMISSION FOR MY NOTICE TO BE SUPPORTED AND
20:55:41 READ.
20:55:42 THIS IS FROM THE URBAN RETREAT.
20:55:45 I AM WRITING YOU TO LEND MY SUPPORT FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT
20:55:50 THAT IS PLANNED FOR NORTH OF HYDE PARK AS THE MANAGER OF
20:55:53 THE URBAN -- IS MY TIME UP?
20:55:56 [BELL SOUNDS]
20:55:57 >>LUIS VIERA: 30 SECONDS.
20:55:57 >> FOR THE URBAN, A DOG CARE AND BOARDING RESORT.
20:56:08 AND THE VALUE OF SURROUNDING AREA.
20:56:10 THIS PORTION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS OVERLOOKED, AND A
20:56:13 PROJECT LIKE THIS OPENS OPPORTUNITIES FOR BUSINESSES
20:56:16 AROUND NORTH HYDE PARK TO FLOURISH.
20:56:21 NOT CREATING A NEW --
20:56:23 [BELL SOUNDS]
20:56:24 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
20:56:25 IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT THOSE, WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT
20:56:28 THOSE.
20:56:33 THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MA'AM.
20:56:34 WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
20:56:35 NEXT, PLEASE.
20:56:35 >> 500 WATER STREET, JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA, CSX OBJECTS
20:56:45 TO THE VACANCY OF THAT PORTION OF CARMEN STREET.
20:56:49 IT'S A PUBLIC ROAD THAT'S IN THERE FOR ALMOST AS LONG AS
20:56:52 THE RAILROAD HAS BEEN THERE.
20:56:54 ELIMINATING THAT ACCESS, I KNOW YOU SAID THAT THERE ARE
20:56:57 OTHER ACCESSES.
20:56:58 BUT AS YOU HAVE SEEN, DIFFERENT ACCESS ROUTES HAVE
20:57:03 ALREADY BEEN CUT OFF.
20:57:04 WE WANT TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE THE ACCESS RIGHTS THAT WE
20:57:07 HAVE.
20:57:07 VEHICULAR ACCESS THROUGH A PARK IS GOING TO REQUIRE
20:57:11 COORDINATION, IT'S GOING TO DAMAGE OUR PROPERTY VALUE, WE
20:57:15 DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WOULD ELIMINATE MORE ACCESS FOR
20:57:18 A DOG PARK.
20:57:19 AND THEN WE ARE ABOUT PROTECTING THE RAILROAD PROPERTY.
20:57:25 THEY HAVE THEIR PROPERTY THAT THEY CAN DEVELOP ON.
20:57:26 THERE'S NO NEED TO VACATE THAT STREET.
20:57:29 THEY CAN JUST PUT THE DOG PARK SOMEWHERE ON THEIR
20:57:32 PROPERTY OR ELIMINATE IT ALTOGETHER.
20:57:35 CSX HAS THIS PROPERTY CURRENTLY UNDER CONTRACT.
20:57:39 AND IT COULD DAMAGE OUR TRANSACTION IF THE ROADWAY IS
20:57:44 CLOSED.
20:57:44 I DON'T KNOW IF THE BUYER WOULD WALK AWAY AND THEN WE
20:57:47 WOULD REALLY BE DAMAGED BY THAT.
20:57:48 WE JUST WANT TO OBJECT.
20:57:50 SO ANOTHER QUESTION ON THE SETBACK, 3 FEET FROM THE
20:57:54 PROPERTY LINE TO THE CSX RAILWAY PROPERTY CORRIDOR, HOW
20:57:59 ARE THEY GOING TO MAINTAIN THAT BUILDING?
20:58:01 HOW ARE THEY GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THEIR WORK ON IT,
20:58:05 MAINTENANCE, PAINTING, WHATEVER HAPPENS.
20:58:07 SO AGAIN, ARE WE GOING TO BE DAMAGED BY THEM NEEDING TO
20:58:11 COME ONTO OUR PROPERTY WANTING TO TAKE ADDITIONAL
20:58:13 PROPERTY TO DO MAINTENANCE ON THEIR BUILDING?
20:58:16 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
20:58:17 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
20:58:19 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: QUESTION.
20:58:24 UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY ARE
20:58:25 GOING TO LEAVE THE OTHER 25 FEET FOR THE ADJACENT PARCEL.
20:58:31 >> I THROAT IT WAS A 3-FOOT SETBACK.
20:58:34 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IT'S FLIPPED THE STREET IN HALF.
20:58:36 I THINK THE STREET IS 50 FEET WIDE.
20:58:38 >> OH, YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT CARMEN, NOT THE SETBACK
20:58:41 BUILDING.
20:58:42 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MAYBE WE ARE ON A DIFFERENT PLANE
20:58:44 THEN.
20:58:45 BUT MY QUESTION TO CSX, ARE THE PICTURES, IT DOESN'T
20:58:49 APPEAR THAT YOU ALL HAVE BEEN USING THAT RIGHT-OF-WAY TO
20:58:51 GET TO YOUR PROPERTY.
20:58:52 IS THAT CORRECT?
20:58:53 >> WE USE IT NOT ALL OF THE TAME.
20:58:56 WITH THE RAILROADS, WE HAVE SITES ALL OVER THE PLACE
20:58:59 WHERE WHEN WE DO USE A PROPERTY, IT MIGHT BE EVERY NINE
20:59:03 YEARS, BUT WHEN WE NEED IT WE REALLY NEED IT.
20:59:06 SO TO SAY THAT WE DON'T HAVE DAILY USE OF IT, WE PROBABLY
20:59:09 DON'T.
20:59:09 BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT AT SOME POINT WE WOULDN'T NEED
20:59:12 IT AND WE HAVE BEEN MARKETING THIS PROPERTY WITH THOSE
20:59:15 ACCESS POINTS.
20:59:16 AND SO WE HAVE BEEN MARKETING IT FOR TWO YEARS.
20:59:20 SO WE FINALLY ARE UNDER CONTRACT AND NOW THIS HAS COME UP
20:59:23 AND IT COULD BE VERY DAMAGING TO US.
20:59:29 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO YOUR TRACK RUNS DOWN THROUGH THE
20:59:31 MIDDLE OF THAT, CORRECTED?
20:59:32 >> OUR TRACK IS MORE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THAT.
20:59:35 AND SO OUR SETBACK FROM THE CENTER LINE IS 20-FOOT.
20:59:40 FROM THE CENTER LINE OF TRACK.
20:59:41 SO WE ARE SELLING AN 80-FOOT CORRIDOR TO A POTENTIAL
20:59:46 DEVELOPER.
20:59:47 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THAT'S AN 80-FOOT CORRIDOR.
20:59:50 >> SO WE HAVE OUR 20-FOOT, MAYBE IT'S 65 FEET.
20:59:56 I THINK TOTAL IT'S 85 FEET.
21:00:00 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: DOES YOUR CORRIDOR EXTEND DOWN TO
21:00:02 THROWS OTHER STREETS THAT I MADE REFERENCE TO, FIG?
21:00:04 >> YES.
21:00:04 DEFINITELY DOWN FIG AND THERE IS SOME CONNECTIVITY FROM
21:00:08 NORTH A, NORTH B.
21:00:10 BUT THOSE AREN'T AS PRIME ACCESS ROUTES AS FIG AND CARMEN
21:00:15 ARE.
21:00:16 SO NOW YOU HAVE GOT TO TAKE THIS -- I DON'T KNOW IF YOU
21:00:20 HAVE DRIVEN IT BUT IT'S VERY NARROW. YOU HAVE DONATION
21:00:24 CENTER THERE.
21:00:25 YOU HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE PARKING ON THE STREET SO IT'S
21:00:27 NOT A GREAT ACCESS ROUTE AS CARMEN AND FIG TO GET TO THAT
21:00:31 CORRIDOR.
21:00:33 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.
21:00:33 >>LUIS VIERA: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
21:00:36 GO AHEAD, SIR.
21:00:37 >> BRUCE RAINS, 2910 NORTH 16th STREET.
21:00:48 I INTENDED TO BE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT BUT DUE TO THIS
21:00:52 PROJECT BEING LISTED NUMBER 11 AND 12 ON THE AGENDA, IT'S
21:00:58 A LATE NIGHT AND I COULD NOT ATTEND.
21:01:00 I HAVE GIVEN PERMISSION FROM MY LETTER OF THE SUPPORT TO
21:01:04 BE READ, REZONE 92-1116 WEST CARMEN STREET, APARTMENTS.
21:01:12 ON BEHALF OF CARLOS RAMIREZ, I AM WRITING TODAY AS A
21:01:16 CITIZEN OF THE CITY OF TAMPA AND NOT AS A BOARD MEMBER OF
21:01:19 THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION OF THE NORTH HYDE PARK.
21:01:23 I HAVE SPOKEN TO MR. CORN AND ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS
21:01:29 PROJECT.
21:01:30 I HAVE LISTENED TO IMPLEMENT THE CHANGES THAT WE NEED TO
21:01:35 CONTINUE THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THIS AREA.
21:01:39 WE HAVE HAD ISSUES IN THE PAST WITH HEAVY POPULATION AND
21:01:44 SPILLING INTO THE NEXT MORNING AND CAUSE ISSUE WITH
21:01:47 NOISE, PROPERTY AND DAMAGING OUR AREA.
21:01:49 MY CONCERN FOR THE MEMBER OF STUDENTS RENTING THESE UNITS
21:01:53 WAS ADDRESSED BY LIMITING THE NUMBER OF APARTMENTS THAT
21:01:55 CAN BE LEASED TO APPLICANTS WITH A COSIGNER.
21:02:01 EXISTING COMPLEX IN THIS AREA ONE THIRD ARE EMPTY BECAUSE
21:02:05 OF THE RESIDENT CHOSE TO PARK IN THE STREET.
21:02:07 THIS CAUSES PROBLEMS FOR EXISTING HOMEOWNERS AND AREA
21:02:12 BUSINESS HOE RELY ON STREET PARKING.
21:02:15 WITH THE NEW RESTAURANT AND BUSINESS COMING IN THE AREA,
21:02:19 PARKING WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN ISSUE.
21:02:23 I SPOKE WITH MR. CORN AND HIS TEAM AND ALLOWED THE FIRST
21:02:28 FLOOR OF THE GARAGE FOR VISITOR PUBLIC PARKING WITH TAME
21:02:31 RESTRICTIONS TO ELEVATE SOME OF THE PARKING ISSUES.
21:02:34 WE HAVE ALLOWED VISITORS OF NEARBY RESTAURANT BUSINESSES
21:02:38 TO UTILIZE THESE SPOTS.
21:02:41 THE EXHIBITS WE WERE SHOWN CONTAIN PALM TREES, ENCOURAGE
21:02:46 ALL DEVELOPERS TO USE THE SHADE TREES THAT WILL ALLOW
21:02:52 SOME RELIEF OF THE FLORIDA SUN.
21:02:55 AND SPEAKING TO MR. COHEN, HE AGREES TO INCLUDE
21:03:01 SHADE-PRODUCING TREES IN THE AREA.
21:03:04 I AM IN SUPPORT OF REZONING OF THE PROJECT.
21:03:06 THANK YOU.
21:03:06 CARLOS RAMIREZ.
21:03:11 SECOND, I INTEND TO BE PRESENT AND SPEAKING --
21:03:15 [BELL SOUNDS]
21:03:16 BUT DUE TO THE -- I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE
21:03:23 NORTH OF HYDE PARK.
21:03:24 FOR YEARS THE COMMUNITY ASKED ABOUT THE DIVISION OF
21:03:28 TRANSPORTATION, HAS TAKEN THE APPROACH LOCATED CSX RAIL,
21:03:34 THE POSSIBILITY OF FUTURE PUBLIC USE IN ORDER TO SHOW
21:03:36 TRANSIT AVAILABILITY IN OUR CITY AND WE NEED TO DEVELOP
21:03:42 AND STEP UP DEVELOPMENT TRANSIT CORRIDORS WITH THE --
21:03:46 [BELL SOUNDS]
21:03:48 >>LUIS VIERA: IF YOU WOULD LIKE, SIR, YOUR TIME IS UP BUT
21:03:50 YOU CAN SUBMIT THOSE AND WE'LL TAKE THOSE LETTERS.
21:03:53 THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
21:03:53 >> OKAY.
21:03:55 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
21:03:58 NEXT, PLEASE.
21:03:58 >> CASE I ALSTON, 1717 EAST 9th AVENUE AND I HAVE NOT
21:04:10 BEEN SWORN.
21:04:11 >>LUIS VIERA: IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE SWORN, THIS IS YOUR
21:04:13 OPPORTUNITY.
21:04:14 AND IF ANYBODY ELSE IS PLANNING ON SPEAKING THIS EVENING
21:04:16 AND YOU HAVE NOT BEEN SWORN THEN YOU MAY RISE IF YOU ARE
21:04:18 ABLE TO DO SO AND PREPARE TO EXPERIENCE BEING SWORN IN BY
21:04:21 MR. JIM CREW.
21:04:22 (OATH ADMINISTERED BY CLERK).
21:04:28 >> I DO.
21:04:32 THIS IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF URBAN DESIGN.
21:04:36 CASEY ELLISON, 1717 EAST 7th AVENUE. THIS IS AN
21:04:40 EXAMPLE OF URBAN DESIGN.
21:04:43 THESE ARE THE TYPES OF PROJECTS THAT NEED TO HAPPEN IN
21:04:45 THE CITY OF TAMPA.
21:04:46 IT HAS AN ATTAINABLE HOUSING ELEMENT TO IT.
21:04:49 IT HAS GREAT ROOM DESIGN.
21:04:51 I PERSONALLY HAVE VISITED WING SPAN'S PROJECTS IN THE
21:04:54 CHICAGO AREA AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT EVERYTHING THEY DO
21:04:56 IS FIRST CLASS.
21:04:57 AND WE AS A CITY SHOULD EMBRACE DEVELOPERS LIKE WING SPAN
21:05:03 TO COME HERE TO OUR CITY.
21:05:06 THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN COHEN AND WING SPAN IS A STRONG
21:05:09 ONE.
21:05:10 AND I THINK THAT TONIGHT WE SHOULD THANK THEM FOR ALL THE
21:05:14 HARD WORK THEY PUT INTO THIS, AND THE EXCELLENCE THAT
21:05:17 THEY ARE BRINGING HERE TO OUR CITY.
21:05:18 AND I MOVE YOU GUYS TO APPROVE THIS DEVELOPMENT.
21:05:22 THANK YOU.
21:05:23 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
21:05:23 NEXT, PLEASE.
21:05:25 AND AFTER THIS GENTLEMAN IS ANYONE ELSE PLANNING ON
21:05:27 SPEAKING THIS EVENING ON THESE ITEMS?
21:05:28 >> DERRICK SECKINGER, GREEN GAUGE LANE.
21:05:35 I AM HERE TO LEND MY SUPPORT TO THIS PROJECT.
21:05:38 HAS ANYONE WHO KNOWS THIS AREA VERY WELL SOUTH OF CASS
21:05:41 STREET AND TO THE EAST OF WILLOW, IT IS HIGHLY
21:05:45 INDUSTRIALIZED AREA.
21:05:46 I THINK THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO BE A BEAUTIFUL ADDITION
21:05:50 AND ALSO HELP CHANGE THE AREA.
21:05:52 IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S CONSISTENT WITH DEVELOPMENT THAT'S
21:05:54 GOING ON IN THE CITY.
21:05:56 AND I THINK SIMILAR TO WHAT'S HAPPENED IN NORTH HYDE
21:05:59 PARK, AND BASICALLY REDEVELOP THAT WHOLE AREA.
21:06:05 SO IT ALSO IN REFERENCE TO THE CSX, THE VACATING, THE
21:06:10 COMMENT MADE BY CSX, THE VACATING OF THAT PROPERTY, I CAN
21:06:14 TELL YOU IF ANYONE HAS DRIVEN BY THAT PROPERTY MAYBE
21:06:16 TAKEN A SHORTCUT TRYING TO BYPASS CASS STREET
21:06:19 DEVELOPMENT, THE PROJECT THAT'S GOING ON, YOU WILL SEE
21:06:22 THAT PROJECT, THAT GATE PROBABLY HASN'T BEEN OPENED IN
21:06:25 TEN YEARS.
21:06:26 THE GROWTH IS SO HIGH THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO WALK
21:06:29 THROUGH THAT.
21:06:29 SO TO SAY THAT IT'S A WALKABLE, I WOULD DEFINITELY
21:06:34 DISAGREE WITH THAT.
21:06:36 AND THERE'S A BIG ACCESS TO THE SOUTH ON FIG STREET.
21:06:39 IN FACT, IT WAS SO BAD ON FIG STREET THE DUMPING THAT WAS
21:06:43 GOING ON ON THE CSX PROPERTY WAS NOT MAINTAINED THAT BIG
21:06:47 BARRIERS WERE PUT UP TO KEEP THE DUMPING FROM BEING HAD
21:06:51 OVER THERE.
21:06:52 SO I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT ADDITION.
21:06:54 I THINK THE GREEN SPACE FOR THE DOGS IS A GREAT IDEA.
21:06:57 AND AGAIN, JUST LEND MY SUPPORT TO THE PROJECT IN
21:07:00 GENERAL.
21:07:00 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
21:07:04 ANY REBUTTAL OR ANYTHING FURTHER, MR. GUARDER?
21:07:08 >>TRUETT GARDNER: I DID.
21:07:08 AND I TRIED TO SOMEWHAT CONTAIN MYSELF BECAUSE THE REASON
21:07:11 FOR THE CONTINUANCE THE LAST TIME WAS FOR CSX AS I
21:07:15 MENTIONED BEGINNING.
21:07:16 WE WERE PROPOSING TO VACATE CARMEN AND FIG SO THEY COULD
21:07:20 KEEP ACCESS.
21:07:23 WE DECIDED TO DROP FIG AND A LOT OF THOUGHT WEPT INTO
21:07:27 THAT.
21:07:27 WE ACTUALLY LOST UNITS AS A RESULT OF IT.
21:07:29 WE DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE CASE LAW.
21:07:31 IT'S VERY WELL SETTLED THAT WHILE A PROPERTY OWNER WITH
21:07:36 ADJACENT PROPERTY IS ENTITLED TO ACCESS, IT'S NOT
21:07:38 ENTITLED TO EACH AND EVERY ACCESS POINT THAT IT DESIRES.
21:07:43 FIGURING INTO OUR DECISION TO DECIDE ON CARMEN VERSUS
21:07:48 FIG, AND AGAIN THIS GOES TO THE USAGE THAT WAS STATED,
21:07:55 HOW THEY UTILIZE THESE.
21:07:57 IF YOU WILL LOOK, THIS IS FIG.
21:07:59 THEY HAVE GOT A SERIES OF JERSEY BARRIERS, I DON'T KNOW
21:08:03 WHEN THE LAST TIME THAT WAS USED, BUT THIS ASSERTION ON
21:08:08 CARMEN BEING USED, I FLOW THE GENTLEMAN IN FRONT OF ME
21:08:11 JUST MENTIONED THIS.
21:08:13 THIS IS THE CURRENT STATE OF THAT.
21:08:14 I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE LAST TIME THAT WAS USED BUT IT
21:08:17 DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ANYTIME AT ALL.
21:08:23 LASTLY, THE ISSUE WITH AN AGENCY LIKE CSX THAT GETS UP
21:08:26 HERE AS A QUASI-PUBLIC AGENCY WANTING TO MAIN TAPE ITS
21:08:30 ACCESS POINTS, BUT THEN AT THE SAME TIME AS THE CSX
21:08:35 REPRESENTATIVE ADMITTED THEY HAVE GOT THIS PROJECT FOR
21:08:38 SALE TO A PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNER.
21:08:41 SO ON THE ONE HAND SAYING WE ARE A QUASI-PUBLIC AGENCY,
21:08:45 WE WANT TO MAKE ACCESS POINTS, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND TO
21:08:48 SAY WE ARE TRYING TO ENHANCE OUR PROPERTY VALUES SO WE
21:08:50 CAN MAKE THE MOST MONEY ON A SALE TO A PRIVATE PROPERTY
21:08:54 OWNER.
21:08:55 WITH THAT, I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY
21:08:57 HAVE.
21:08:58 BUT I DO WANT TO RESTATE THOSE POINTS.
21:09:02 >>LUIS VIERA: COUNCILMAN GUDES.
21:09:04 >>ORLANDO GUDES: IT'S SO INTERESTING.
21:09:11 >>ORLANDO GUDES: RIGHT THERE ON CASS WHEN I WAS A YOUNG
21:09:13 BOY, I'M FAMILIAR WITH THAT AREA.
21:09:15 JUST CURIOUS.
21:09:16 HOW MANY ACRES IS THAT PROPERTY?
21:09:18 >> MAKE SURE I STATE THIS RIGHT.
21:09:24 BECAUSE THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT.
21:09:27 THE ACREAGE ITSELF PRE-VACATING IS 1.77.
21:09:35 THE VACATING ITSELF THAT WE WOULD BE PICKING UP IS ONLY
21:09:39 2500 SQUARE FEET WHICH IS .05 ACRES.
21:09:43 FOR A TOTAL OF 1.28 ACRES.
21:09:46 >> >>ORLANDO GUDES: I GUESS I AM STILL LOOKING AT THESE
21:09:48 PROJECTS IN THE ACREAGE, AND THE ACREAGE I HAVE OVER ON
21:09:52 THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN.
21:09:55 BUT I WAS LISTENING TO THOSE WONDERFUL LETTERS THAT WERE
21:09:58 READ BY THOSE TWO INDIVIDUALS THAT TALKED ABOUT
21:10:01 AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
21:10:03 ARE THESE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS?
21:10:06 >>TRUETT GARDNER: SO TO BE CLEAR, AS I MENTIONED AT THE
21:10:08 BEGINNING, THIS IS ATTAINABLE, WHICH IS SEPARATE AND
21:10:11 DISTINCT FROM AFFORDABLE.
21:10:13 AFFORDABLE HAS A COMPONENT TO IT OF SOME SORT OF PUBLIC
21:10:17 CONTRIBUTION.
21:10:17 THIS IS A STRAIGHT MARKET RATE DEVELOPMENT, BUT IT IS
21:10:22 GEARED TOWARDS SMALLER, MORE AFFORDABLE UNITS, WITH A LOT
21:10:26 OF THESE UNITS HAVING RENTS HOPEFULLY ONCE THINGS SHAKE
21:10:29 OUT UNDER $1,000 A MONTH, WHICH IS REALLY UNHEARD OF IN
21:10:33 THIS AREA ESPECIALLY IN THE CBD.
21:10:41 YOU SHOULD GET TWO OF THEM.
21:10:43 [ LAUGHTER ]
21:10:46 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYONE ELSE?
21:10:50 OH, MA'AM, YOU MAY NOT.
21:10:52 SORRY.
21:10:52 TIME IS UP.
21:10:53 SORRY.
21:10:53 >> ONE BITE AT THE APPLE.
21:10:57 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYONE ELSE FROM COUNCIL?
21:10:58 OKAY.
21:10:59 MAY WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE?
21:11:02 MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
21:11:03 SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CITRO.
21:11:05 ALL IN FAVOR?
21:11:06 ANY OPPOSED?
21:11:07 OKAY.
21:11:07 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, WOULD YOU MIND TAKING NUMBER 11?
21:11:13 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I WOULD BE GLAD TO.
21:11:14 I WOULD ASK MR. GARDNER IF HE HASN'T ALREADY THAT FOR
21:11:21 SALE FLYER THAT YOU HAD, IS THAT IN THE RECORD?
21:11:24 >> IT'S NOT BUT I AM HAPPY TO PUT IT INTO THE RECORD.
21:11:28 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IS THAT OKAY?
21:11:34 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MOVE TO REOPEN.
21:11:36 >>LUIS VIERA: MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CITRO. SECONDED BY
21:11:38 COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.

21:11:49 SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
21:11:51 ALL IN FAVOR?
21:11:52 ANY OPPOSED?
21:11:54 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I CAN REMAINED COUNCIL
21:11:56 THAT THE ORDINANCE IS THE ONE THAT WAS HANDED OUT TO YOU.
21:12:09 ACTUALLY WE ARE TAKING ONE AT A TIME.
21:12:11 WE'LL TAKE A MOTION AND VOTE ON 11.
21:12:14 AND THEN WE'LL MOVE TO 12.
21:12:15 SO JUST READ THE TITLE OF THE VACATING PLEASE.
21:12:20 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IN REGARD TO VAC 19-27, I'LL MOVE THE
21:12:24 FOLLOWING ORDINANCE FOR FIRST READING, AN ORDINANCE
21:12:26 VACATING, CLOSING, DISCONTINUING, ABANDONING PORTIONS OF
21:12:29 RIGHT-OF-WAY KNOWN AS CARMEN STREET LYING SOUTH OF CASS
21:12:32 STREET NORTH OF NORTH B STREET EAST OF GILCHRIST AVENUE
21:12:35 WEST OF CSX RAILROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE IN THE CITY OF
21:12:40 TAMPA, HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY FLORIDA THE SAME BEING MORE
21:12:42 FULLY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1 HEREOF SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
21:12:45 EASEMENT RESERVATIONS, COVENANTS, CONDITIONS, AND
21:12:48 RESTRICTIONS MORE PARTICULARLY SET FORTH HEREIN PROVIDING
21:12:51 AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
21:12:53 SPECIFICALLY, THAT'S A LITTLE STUB PORTION.
21:12:58 I'M NOT BIG ON VACATING ALLEYS OR STREETS AND YOU GUYS
21:13:01 NOTICE THAT.
21:13:02 BUT IN THIS CASE, IT'S A LITTLE DEAD-END STUB PORTION OF
21:13:05 THE STREET AMOUNTING TO 2500 SQUARE FEET, WHICH IS NEXT
21:13:09 TO NOTHING.
21:13:11 CSX OBJECTS BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THEIR OBJECTIONS ARE,
21:13:16 WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO THE YOUNG LADY, I DON'T BELIEVE
21:13:18 THE OBJECTIONS ARE SUBSTANTIVE.
21:13:23 THEY HAVEN'T BEEN USING IT, THAT RIGHT-OF-WAY, FOR
21:13:27 ACCESS.
21:13:27 IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS, ALL OVERGROWN.
21:13:30 FRANKLY, THEIR FENCE WAS PROBABLY ILLEGAL TO START W.BUT
21:13:35 ANYWAY WITH, THAT I WILL MOVE THE VACATING.
21:13:37 >>LUIS VIERA: WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
21:13:40 CERTIFICATED BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
21:13:41 ALL IN FAVOR?
21:13:42 ANY OPPOSED?
21:13:43 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
21:13:46 SECOND READING AND ADOPTION WILL BE HELD ON FEBRUARY
21:13:49 6th, 2020 AT 9:30 A.M.
21:13:53 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIRMAN, DO YOU WANT ME TO READ
21:13:54 THE ORDINANCE?
21:13:55 >>LUIS VIERA: SURE, YOU MAY.
21:13:56 GO AHEAD, SIR.
21:13:58 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: REZ 19-92.
21:14:00 I'LL MOVE THE FOLLOWING ORDINANCE FOR FIRST READING.
21:14:03 AN ORDINANCE REZONING PROPERTY IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF
21:14:05 1102, 1112 AND 1116 WEST CARMEN STREET IN THE CITY OF
21:14:10 TAMPA, FLORIDA AND MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN SECTION
21:14:12 1 FROM ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATIONS IG INDUSTRIAL
21:14:16 GENERAL TO PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, RESIDENTIAL
21:14:19 MULTIFAMILY, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
21:14:23 SPECIFICALLY, I BELIEVE THAT THE PETITIONER HAS MET ITS
21:14:38 BURDEN OF PROOF TO PROVIDE COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL
21:14:41 EVIDENCE THAT THE SITE PLAN IS CONSISTENT WITH THE SITE
21:14:45 PLAN AND TAMPA CITY OF TAMPA CODE SPECIFICALLY BUT FOR
21:14:49 THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF AND THE STAFF REPORTS ALL
21:14:54 INCORPORATE AS WELL AS OUR OWN STAFF REPORT, AND OUR OWN
21:14:57 STAFF MEMBER BECAUSE EXCEPT FOR THE PARKING REQUIREMENT
21:15:02 OUR CITY STAFF WAS IN SUPPORT.
21:15:04 IN REGARD TO THE PARKING REDUCTION, I DO BELIEVE THAT THE
21:15:07 PETITIONER HAS MET ITS BURDEN IN SHOWING US THE DISPARITY
21:15:15 THAT WE HAVE ON PARKING REQUIREMENTS IN SOME URBAN PARTS
21:15:17 OF TOWN, FOR EXAMPLE, SEMINOLE HEIGHTS, WHERE THIS
21:15:20 PROJECT WOULD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED WITHOUT A WAIVER, AS
21:15:22 COMPARED TO THIS PARTICULAR AREA, WHICH HAS A STRICTER
21:15:27 REQUIREMENT.
21:15:28 AND I BELIEVE THAT WITH ALL THAT'S GOING ON THESE DAYS,
21:15:32 WITH RIDESHARING AND SCOOTERS AND THAT THIS IS KIND OF A
21:15:38 COLLEGE AREA, AND I HAVE GOT A FEELING THERE'S GOING TO
21:15:40 BE A LOT OF YOUNG PEOPLE, A LOT OF COLLEGE PEOPLE WHO
21:15:43 DON'T HAVE AS MANY CARS AS WE DO, THAT IT JUSTIFIES THE
21:15:48 PARKING WAIVER.
21:15:49 >> I STILL SECOND.
21:15:51 >>MARTIN SHELBY: AND ALSO IF YOU CAN THERE WOULD BE
21:15:55 PROVISIONS REQUIRED ON THE REVISION SHEET BETWEEN FIRST
21:15:58 AND SECOND READING?
21:16:00 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
21:16:00 I INCORPORATE THAT.
21:16:01 >>LUIS VIERA: SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CITRO. ALL IN FAVOR?

21:16:41 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: ALL RIGHT.

21:16:46 THE LAST ITEM ON YOUR AGENDA, ITEM NUMBER 13, IS REZ
21:17:03 19-97.
21:17:05 IT'S A REZONING REQUEST FOR PROPERTY LOCATED ON HOWARD
21:17:08 AVENUE, NASSAU STREET, GRACE STREET, FROM PLANNED
21:17:12 DEVELOPMENT COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
21:17:14 COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE FOR A HOTEL USE.
21:17:16 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: [OFF MICROPHONE] I'M A TRUSTEE OF
21:17:27 PROPERTY ADJACENT TO THIS SUBJECT PARCEL SO I WILL NOT BE
21:17:30 VOTING.
21:17:39 >>LUIS VIERA: UNDER FORM 9-D IT SAYS I'M TOO LATE.
21:17:47 GO AHEAD, SIR.
21:17:47 >> DANNY COLLINS, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
21:17:51 I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.
21:17:52 OUR LAST CASE IS IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT.
21:17:55 AND MORE SPECIFICALLY IT'S IN THE WEST TAMPA URBAN
21:17:58 VILLAGE.
21:18:00 THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITH PROXIMITY TO TRANSIT.
21:18:03 THERE'S A TRANSIT STOP ON NORTH HOWARD AVENUE.
21:18:06 NORTH HOWARD IS A TRANSIT EMPHASIS AND MIXED USE CORRIDOR
21:18:10 WHICH IS IDENTIFIED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
21:18:14 THE CLOSEST PUBLIC RECREATION FACILITY IS VILLA BROTHERS
21:18:18 PARK WHICH IS LOCATED WITHIN A HALF MAIL TO THE SOUTHWEST
21:18:21 OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
21:18:22 THE SITE IS WITHIN A LEVEL D EVACUATION ZONE.
21:18:31 THIS IS AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
21:18:33 YOU WILL SEE THE SITE IS EXISTS OF THREE PARCELS, NORTH
21:18:38 HOWARD, IN THE COLOR PURPLE. THIS IS NORTH HOWARD HERE.
21:18:42 THIS IS WEST NASSAU STREET.
21:18:46 AND THIS IS CYPRESS STREET TO THE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT
21:18:48 SITE.
21:18:54 THIS IS THE ADOPTIVE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
21:18:57 THE SITE HAS TWO FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORIES.
21:19:02 THIS RED REPRESENTS THE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35 AND THEN
21:19:05 THIS BROWN REPRESENTS THE RESIDENTIAL 20, COMMUNITY
21:19:12 COMMERCIAL 35 FOUND UP AND DOWN NORTH HOWARD, THEN
21:19:16 TRANSITIONS TO THAT RESIDENTIAL 20 AND THEN RESIDENTIAL
21:19:20 10, THE ORANGISH TAN COLOR.
21:19:24 THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FOUND THE REQUEST TO BE
21:19:27 CONSISTENT WITH MANY OF THE POLICIES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE
21:19:29 PLAN AS IT RELATES TO URBAN VILLAGES AND MIXED USE
21:19:34 DEVELOPMENT.
21:19:35 THE PD IS RETAINING A FRONT ENTRANCE ALONG NORTH HOWARD
21:19:38 AVENUE, PROVIDING PEDESTRIAN ACCESS AND CONNECTING TO THE
21:19:41 EXISTING SIDEWALK.
21:19:43 THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ENCOURAGES THE REDEVELOPMENT OF
21:19:46 THE CITY'S HISTORIC STRUCTURES.
21:19:50 THE PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT OF THE CIGAR FACTORY WILL
21:19:54 BECOME AN ASSET TO THE COMMUNITY AND WILL ENHANCE TAMPA'S
21:19:56 UNIQUE HISTORICAL CONTEXT.
21:19:58 BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION
21:20:00 STAFF FOUND THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE TAMPA
21:20:02 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
21:20:03 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
21:20:06 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YOU MIGHT HAVE SAID THIS AND I
21:20:07 APOLOGIZE IF I MISSED IT.
21:20:09 IS THIS PARTICULAR BUILDING ACTUALLY BEEN DESIGNATED
21:20:13 LOCALLY?
21:20:15 >> IT HAS HISTORIC BALDWIN BROTHERS CIGAR FACTORY.
21:20:22 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: BUT IN ITS OUR HISTORIC REGISTRY?
21:20:26 >> I BELIEVE SO.
21:20:27 >> RON VILA, STAFF WITH HISTORIC PRESERVATION.
21:20:34 THIS CIGAR FACTORY IS KNOWN AS THE TAMPA CUBAN AND
21:20:40 BALDWIN CIGAR FACTORY.
21:20:41 IT IS A LOCALITY LANDMARK STRUCTURE.
21:20:43 AND THE PARCEL THAT RECTANGLE THAT'S A CIGAR FACTORY SITS
21:20:47 ON.
21:20:47 THERE IS A SUBSEQUENT SATELLITE SITE THAT IS DESIGNATED
21:20:51 FOR PARKING AS PART OF THE OVERALL REQUIREMENTS HERE.
21:20:53 THAT IS NOT UNDER REVIEW OR WAS NOT UNDER REVIEW BY THE
21:20:57 ARC.
21:20:58 JUST THE LANDMARK BUILDING AND THE LANDMARK SITE.
21:21:01 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.
21:21:01 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: PLANNING DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
21:21:09 COORDINATION.
21:21:23 I'LL SHOW YOU AN AERIAL OF THE ZONING MAP OF THE SUBJECT
21:21:26 PROPERTY.
21:21:28 AGAIN, AS MR. VILA STATED AND IT'S ON PAGE 3 OF THE STAFF
21:21:34 REPORT, THIS IS A LOCAL LANDMARK, CIGAR FACTORY.
21:21:38 CURRENTLY THE PROPERTY IS ZONED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, AND
21:21:41 THERE'S A PORTION OF PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO THE SOUTH.
21:21:49 IN THE STAFF REPORT YOU SHOULD ALL HAVE BEFORE YOU AND
21:21:54 HAVE REVIEWED, THE EXISTING ZONING OF THE SPECIFIC
21:21:57 PROPERTY WAS APPROVED SEVERAL YEARS AGO.
21:22:01 THEY WERE GOING TO CONVERT THE CIGAR FACTORY TO BUSINESS
21:22:04 PROFESSIONAL OFFICE AND THEN USE THIS PROPERTY
21:22:06 APPROXIMATELY A BLOCK TO THE SOUTH FOR ADDITIONAL
21:22:09 PARKING.
21:22:10 NOW THE PROJECT THAT'S BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS TO REZONE
21:22:15 THE CIGAR FACTORY PROPERTY PROPER TO A PD AS WELL AND
21:22:19 THEN REZONE THE PROPERTY DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTH FOR
21:22:24 ADDITIONAL PARKING, AND THEN THE OTHER PORTION THAT'S ON
21:22:27 THE NORTH SIDE OF GRACE WOULD BE REZONED BACK TO
21:22:32 COMMERCIAL.
21:22:34 SO THIS IS WHAT THE ZONING MAP CURRENTLY LOOKS LIKE.
21:22:37 AND THEN THIS IS WHAT THE PROPOSAL WITH THE ORDINANCE
21:22:40 THAT'S BEFORE YOU TONIGHT.
21:22:42 SPECIFICALLY
21:22:43 AS FAR AS THE PROJECT AND THE PROPOSAL, HERE IS THE SITE
21:22:52 PLAN FOR JUST THE PD PORTION OF THE APPLICATION.
21:22:56 THE EXISTING CIGAR FACTORY IS APPROXIMATELY 26,000 SQUARE
21:23:01 FEET.
21:23:01 THEY ARE PROPOSING TO CONVERT IT INTO A HOTEL USE.
21:23:07 THE BUILDING SETBACKS ARE NORTH 5, SOUTH ZERO, EAST 10,
21:23:11 AND WEST 136 FEET, AND THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF THE PROPOSED
21:23:16 BUILDING IS 50 FEET. THIS PROPERTY IS UNIQUE, NOT A
21:23:22 LOCAL LANDMARK AS RYAN STATED.
21:23:24 IT DID GO TO THE ARC FOR REVIEW OF THE REZONING REQUEST.
21:23:28 THEY DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REZONING FOR THE
21:23:34 REASON THAT THE APPLICATION WILL KEEP THE HISTORIC
21:23:37 BUILDING INTACT.
21:23:40 THE APPLICANT RESTRICTED THE HISTORIC -- THE PROPOSED
21:23:44 PARKING.
21:23:45 ALSO THIS PROPERTY IS IN THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
21:23:47 SO THOSE STANDARDS ARE ALSO APPLICABLE TO THIS REVIEW.
21:23:54 URBAN DESIGN DID FIND IT CONSISTENT, AS TWO SMALL
21:23:59 MODIFICATIONS TO BE MADE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
21:24:02 READING.
21:24:03 AS FAR AS THE WAIVERS THAT ARE THEY ARE REQUESTING, THERE
21:24:06 ARE A TOTAL OF FOUR WAIVERS.
21:24:10 AGAIN, I WOULD REMIND CITY COUNCIL THAT AGAIN WE ARE
21:24:14 DEALING WITH AN EXISTING STRUCTURE, A LOCAL HISTORIC
21:24:17 LANDMARK THAT HAS TO BE REVIEWED THROUGH ARC CRITERIA AS
21:24:21 WELL AS IT'S IN THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY SO THOSE CRITERIA
21:24:25 ALSO CAME INTO PLAY.
21:24:26 SAYING THAT, THEY ARE ASKING FOR FOUR WAIVERS TO SECTION
21:24:30 27-284 FOR VARIOUS BUFFERING FOR PRIMARILY FOR THE
21:24:36 PARKING SPACES UP AGAINST RESIDENTIAL USES, AS WELL AS
21:24:40 SOME OF THE BUFFERING BASED ON THE LOCATION OF THE
21:24:43 EXISTING BUILDING.
21:24:44 I'M ON PAGE 2, THE REDUCTION OF PARKING FROM REQUIRED 75
21:24:49 PARKING SPACES DOWN TO 62.
21:24:50 THAT'S A 13 PARKING SPACE REDUCTION WHICH IS 17%.
21:24:55 THE TRANSPORTATION DIVISION DID FIND AND THIS IS BASED ON
21:25:00 THAT PARKING WAIVER.
21:25:01 THEY ARE ASKING FOR A WAIVER FOR COMMERCIAL ACCESS ON THE
21:25:05 NASSAU STREET FOR THE DRIVEWAY CUTS.
21:25:08 BECAUSE THERE ARE RESIDENTIAL USES FURTHER TO THE WEST.
21:25:11 SO THAT'S A WAIVER THAT'S REQUIRED.
21:25:13 AND LAST WAIVER IS TO ONE OF THE WEST TAMPA DESIGN
21:25:17 CRITERIA TO ALLOW CHAIN LINK FENCING ON THE NORTH
21:25:21 PROPERTY LINE FACING A PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY WHICH IS THE
21:25:25 RIGHT-OF-WAY.
21:25:26 AND OVERALL THE DEVELOPMENT -- COMPLIANCE STAFF DID FIND
21:25:30 IT INCONSISTENT AGAIN PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF THE PARKING
21:25:34 WAIVER REQUEST.
21:25:36 IF IT WOULD BE THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL, TO APPROVE FOR
21:25:43 THE REVISION SHEET.
21:25:45 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MR. DINGFELDER?
21:25:48 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WHERE DOES DID CHAIN LINK FENCE GO,
21:25:51 FROM WHERE TO WHERE?
21:25:52 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: APPEARS TO BE A 4-FOOT HIGH DECORATIVE
21:26:06 FENCE IN THIS LOCATION AND AS A RESULT OF THE -- THEIR
21:26:13 POLE SO IT'S REQUIRED TO HAVE SOME SORT OF PROTECTIVE
21:26:15 FENCE AROUND IT.
21:26:16 HOWEVER, THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY CRITERIA SAYS YOU CANNOT
21:26:21 HAVE A CHAIN LINK FENCE THAT'S VISIBLE FROM A
21:26:23 RIGHT-OF-WAY.
21:26:24 AND ALLEYWAYS ARE RIGHTS-OF-WAY.
21:26:26 SO THERE ARE WAIVERS REQUIRED.
21:26:29 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I GUESS IT JUST CAUGHT MY ATTENTION,
21:26:30 YOU SAID CHAIN LINK.
21:26:32 BUT I GUESS I WILL ASK THE APPLICANT.
21:26:33 MAYBE THEY HAVE SOMETHING PRETTIER IN MIND.
21:26:36 THANK YOU.
21:26:36 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
21:26:41 APPLICANT PLEASE.
21:26:41 >> GOOD EVENING.
21:26:47 BRIAN SYKES REPRESENTING CIGAR FACTORY TAMPA LLC, OWNER
21:26:51 OF THE PROPERTY.
21:26:52 ADDRESS IS 4923 WEST CYPRESS STREET, TAMPA, FLORIDA
21:26:55 33607.
21:26:56 AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.
21:26:59 I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A LITTLE HISTORY FOR BUILDING THE
21:27:02 PROPERTY.
21:27:04 IT'S KIND OF FASCINATING.
21:27:10 FACING ME.
21:27:11 ALL RIGHT.
21:27:11 SO THE BUILDING WAS ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED IN 1904, THE
21:27:15 SAMUEL DAVIS AND COMPANY CIGAR FACTORY.
21:27:19 IT OPERATED TO ABOUT 1910 UNDER SAMUEL I. DAVIS AND IN
21:27:24 1910 PLUS OR MINUS THERE WAS A FIRE, ALLEGEDLY ARSON, I
21:27:28 HAVE TO SAY ALLEGEDLY, AND SUFFERED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE.
21:27:32 IN 2011 CAME IN AND ACQUIRED THE FACTORY AND CONTINUED
21:27:35 THE CIGAR FACTORY OPERATIONS.
21:27:37 THAT LASTED UNTIL ABOUT 1915 WHEN TAMPA CUBA, THE TAMPA
21:27:42 CUBA CIGAR FACTORY ACQUIRED THE PROPERTY AND THAT'S WHEN
21:27:45 THEY INSTALLED THE WATER TOWER THAT YOU NOTICE ON THE
21:27:48 STRUCTURE.
21:27:50 FROM THERE, IT OPERATED UNTIL ABOUT 1934 AS A CIGAR
21:27:53 FACTORY.
21:27:54 AND IN 1934 WITH THE REPEAL OF PROHIBITION, OSTENSIBLY
21:27:59 HAD OUR FIRST MICROBREWERY THERE. DESOTO BREWING COMPANY
21:28:04 CAME IN AND THEY WERE BREWING BEER FROM 34 TO ABOUT 36.
21:28:08 FROM 36 ON, THERE HAS BEEN A VARIETY OF USES THAT HAVE
21:28:11 NEVER SURVIVED.
21:28:12 THERE'S BEEN MERCANTILE COMPANIES THAT HAVE BEEN CLOTHING
21:28:16 COMPANIES, EVER-WEAR PRODUCTS, ROYAL, CASE GUARD.
21:28:25 IT WAS ACQUIRED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND THEY WERE
21:28:28 LOOKING AT DEVELOPING IT AS AN OFFICE PROPERTY,
21:28:31 PROFESSIONAL OFFICES.
21:28:31 BUT IN 2016 MY CLIENT ACQUIRED IT WITH THE INTENTION OF
21:28:35 DEVELOPING A HOTEL.
21:28:37 MY CLIENT IS AN OWNER/OPERATOR OF HOTELS.
21:28:40 THEY HAVE ABOUT 30 PROPERTIES IN THE SOUTHEAST U.S.
21:28:43 THEY BUILT THEIR OWN PROPERTIES, MANAGE A LOT OF THEIR
21:28:46 OWN PROPERTIES, AND THEY SELL THIS AS KIND OF A UNIQUE
21:28:49 EXPERIENCE.
21:28:51 THE PROPERTY IS 1.77 ACRES.
21:28:54 THE PORTION THAT IS GOING TO BE DEVOTED TO THE HOTEL
21:28:57 ITSELF IS TWO SEPARATE PARCELS, AS WERE SHONE EARLIER.
21:29:03 THE MAIN CIGAR FACTORY PARCEL, AND THEN TO THE SOUTH, THE
21:29:08 PARKING PARCEL.
21:29:10 THE ORIGINAL PD ZONING FOR THE OFFICE USE HAD THE PARKING
21:29:15 A LITTLE BIT FURTHER SOUTH DOWN HERE.
21:29:17 MY CLIENT DID NOT ACQUIRE THAT PARCEL WHEN THEY ACQUIRED
21:29:20 THE CIGAR FACTORY.
21:29:22 AND ACCORDINGLY, WE HAD TO TAKE THAT PIECE OUT OF THE PD,
21:29:26 BRING THIS PIECE INTO THE PD, WHICH IS WHY WE ARE HEAR
21:29:29 BEFORE YOU TONIGHT.
21:29:31 WHY DO THIS?
21:29:33 NOTHING SURVIVED THERE FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.
21:29:36 WE ARE IN THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY DISTRICT.
21:29:37 WE HAVE A HISTORIC STRUCTURE.
21:29:39 SEEMS LIKE WE WOULD BE CRAZY TO TAKE THIS PROJECT ON.
21:29:43 LOOKING AT IT, WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TODAY IN THE INSIDE,
21:29:47 IT'S DEFINITELY NOT ATTRACTIVE.
21:29:50 THERE ARE -- THIS IS THE LOWER LEVEL BASEMENT AREA.
21:29:56 YOU CAN TELL IT'S VERY DILAPIDATED.
21:30:00 UPPER LEVEL WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TODAY.
21:30:03 A COUPLE MORE SHOTS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON THE INSIDE.
21:30:11 CLEARLY IT'S GOING TO NEED A LOT OF WORK.
21:30:16 BUT AS YOU CAN SEE WITH THIS PHOTO AND THE NEXT ONE THAT
21:30:19 I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU, THERE'S A LOT OF CHARACTER TO
21:30:21 THIS PROPERTY.
21:30:29 AND THE FRONT FACADE.
21:30:31 THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING.
21:30:33 AND THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF MY FAVORITES.
21:30:39 BEAUTIFUL TILE WORK THAT STILL EXISTS OWN WHAT WAS THE
21:30:42 MAIN LEVEL OF THE CIGAR FACTORY.
21:30:47 THE PROPOSED USE IS A 70 ROOM BOUTIQUE HOTEL, WILL BE
21:30:52 SURFACE PARKING AS WAS SHOWN IN THE PRIOR SITE PLAN.
21:30:56 WE ARE REQUESTING A PARKING WAIVER WHICH I WILL GET TO IN
21:30:59 A MINUTE.
21:31:02 THIS PROPERTY WILL HAVE AN ENTRANCE OFF OF NASSAU THAT'S
21:31:04 ONE OF THE OTHER WAIVERS WE ARE REQUESTING.
21:31:08 THERE IS NO REASONABLE WAY THAT WE COULD HAVE AN ENTRANCE
21:31:11 OFF OF SOUTH HOWARD WITH THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC ON SOUTH
21:31:14 HOWARD, AND THE ACCESSIBILITY OFF OF SOUTH HOWARD.
21:31:17 THE ACTUAL ENTRANCE TO THE HOTEL WILL BE OVER HERE.
21:31:20 I ACTUALLY HAVE A COUPLE OF ELEVATIONS THAT WE CAN SHOW
21:31:24 WHAT THE PROPOSED AREA WILL LOOK LIKE.
21:31:27 IT SHOWS IT A LITTLE BETTER.
21:31:32 YOU CAN SEE THERE WILL BE THE ENTRANCE.
21:31:34 THAT IS WHERE THE -- THIS IS THE STRUCTURE, WHERE THE
21:31:37 WATER TOWER WAS AT ONE POINT IN TIME.
21:31:40 THAT WILL BE THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE HOTEL.
21:31:42 THE LOBBY WILL ACTUALLY BE IN WHAT IS CONSIDERED THE
21:31:45 BASEMENT TO IT TODAY.
21:31:47 WE ARE HAVING TO RAISE THE CEILING A LITTLE BIT BETWEEN
21:31:51 THE FIRST AND SECOND LEVELS TO ACCOMMODATE THAT CEILING
21:31:53 HEIGHT THAT WE NEED.
21:31:55 BUT THERE WILL BE A LOBBY THERE.
21:31:56 THERE WILL BE ROOMS.
21:31:57 THERE WILL BE A LOUNGE OVER HERE.
21:31:59 OUTDOOR SEATING AREA THERE.
21:32:01 SO IT'S NICE INVITING STREETSCAPE.
21:32:06 THERE WILL BE A POOL ON THE PROPERTY.
21:32:08 AND AS MARY NOTED, THE POOL IS ACTUALLY OVER HERE.
21:32:13 THE POOL WILL HAVE A DECORATIVE FENCE AROUND IT.
21:32:17 AND THERE MAY BE A MISNOTATION ON THE SITE PLAN WHICH IS
21:32:21 WHY IT SAID CHAIN LINK FENCE.
21:32:23 BUT IT WILL BE A DECORATIVE ALUMINUM FENCE.
21:32:25 WE WANT TO TIE IN WITH THE NATURE OF THE PROJECT.
21:32:31 OBVIOUSLY A CHAIN LINK FENCE WOULD SEVERELY TAKE AWAY
21:32:33 FROM THAT.
21:32:36 THERE WILL BE TWO ADDITIONS TO THE BUILDING THAT ARE
21:32:43 STRUCTURAL ADDITIONS BUT THEY ARE NOT INCREASING IN THE
21:32:46 OVERALL SQUARE FOOTAGE OR FOOTPRINT OF THE BUILDING AND
21:32:49 THAT IS WE HAVE TO HAVE TWO EXTERIOR STAIR ACCESSES.
21:32:53 IN WORKING WITH FOLKS AT HISTORIC PRESERVATION, AND
21:32:57 WORKING WITH STAFF, WE HAVE ELECTED TO GO WITH A
21:33:00 STRUCTURE THAT IS INDUSTRIAL IN FEEL, KIND OF IN KEEPING
21:33:03 WITH THE INDUSTRIAL NATURE OF THE CIGAR FACTORY.
21:33:06 SO THERE WILL BE ONE THAT IS AT THE REAR OF THE BUILDING,
21:33:09 AND THEN THERE WILL BE A SECOND ONE, AND YOU CAN'T QUITE
21:33:13 SEE IN THE THIS ONE BUT THERE WILL BE ONE ALONG THE
21:33:16 ALLEYWAY THAT ACTUALLY SHOWS UP BACK IN MY SITE PLAN.
21:33:23 THAT'S RIGHT THERE.
21:33:28 THERE WILL BE A LOUNGE, LIMITED SERVICE MENU.
21:33:31 IT'S NOT INTENDED TO BE A FULL SERVICE RESTAURANT.
21:33:34 THERE WILL BE ON-SITE LAUNDRY FACILITIES, WORKOUT
21:33:37 FACILITIES, WHAT HAVE YOU.
21:33:39 THE PROJECT, BECAUSE IT IS A HISTORIC BUILDING, HAS TO BE
21:33:43 RESTORED AND MAINTAINED IN ITS HISTORIC DID.
21:33:48 SO WE ARE GOING TO BE REPOINTING THE BRICK, THE EXTERIOR
21:33:52 WILL LOOK AS IT DOES TODAY, BUT HOPEFULLY MUCH NICER
21:33:56 FASHION.
21:33:57 EVERYTHING WILL BE CLEANED UP.
21:33:58 WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH RON'S GROUP.
21:34:01 IN FACT MY CLIENT IS EVEN WORKING ON GETTING HEAD START
21:34:04 HOPEFULLY ON GETTING THE REPOINTING OF THE BRICK GETTING
21:34:07 THE WINDOWS ORDERED AND WORKING WITH ARC ON ALL OF THAT.
21:34:12 THERE ARE TWO MAIN WAIVERS THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS.
21:34:15 ONE IS AS I MENTIONED, THE ACCESS OFF OF NASSAU.
21:34:20 IT'S IN THE AN ESSENTIAL WAIVER.
21:34:22 THERE'S JUST NO POSSIBLE WAY WE COULD BRING TRAFFIC IN OR
21:34:25 PEDESTRIAN OR VEHICULAR TRAFFIC SAFELY OFF OF HOWARD.
21:34:29 BY BRINGING IT IN OFF OF NASSAU, WE WILL REDUCE THOSE
21:34:33 CONFLICTS AND THOSE ISSUES.
21:34:35 AND IT WILL ALLOW THE BUILDING TO FUNCTION AS A HOTEL.
21:34:38 THE SECOND WAIVER WE ARE REQUESTING IS A PARKING WAIVER
21:34:41 FROM 75 TO 62 PARKING SPACES.
21:34:46 TRANSPORTATION STAFF HAS GIVEN US TECHNICAL OBJECTION TO
21:34:50 THAT.
21:34:51 WE HAVE A COUPLE THINGS WE PRESENT, AND I WILL ACTUALLY
21:34:53 PUT THESE IN THE RECORD AS WELL.
21:34:55 WE DID HAVE GULF COAST CONSULTING WHO IS OUR
21:34:58 TRANSPORTATION PLANNER WHO DID OUR TRANSPORTATION STUDY
21:35:01 FOR US ON THIS PROJECT.
21:35:03 THEY HAD GONE THROUGH AND LOOKED AT ITE, AND BASED UPON
21:35:07 THE ITE MANUAL, WE WOULD REQUIRE -- I'M SORRY -- 52
21:35:15 PARKING SPACES AND WE ARE GOING TO BE PROVIDING 62 SO WE
21:35:18 WOULD HAVE IN EXCESS OF 10 BASED UPON ETE GENERATION
21:35:21 STANDARDS.
21:35:23 MY CLIENTS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT WING SUBMITTED A LETTER
21:35:26 WHICH I WILL SUBMIT FOR THE RECORD ALSO WHICH INDICATES
21:35:30 THAT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, BECAUSE OF UBER,
21:35:34 BECAUSE OF LYFT, THERE'S BEEN A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN
21:35:37 THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT PARK ON THE PROPERTIES AND THEY
21:35:40 ARE FLOWING THAT AS WELL.
21:35:42 BROUGHT SEVERAL ARTICLES THAT WE WILL SUBMIT INTO THE
21:35:45 RECORD.
21:35:45 JUST READING A COUPLE OF THINGS, THAT BACK IN 2015,
21:35:51 CITIES HAVE BEGUN RELAXING ZONING REQUIREMENTS AND SET
21:35:54 MINIMUM PARKING ALLOTMENTS, THERE'S MORE SIGNS DAN AND
21:35:58 PLANNERS ARE EVEN THINKING DIFFERENTLY ABOUT PARKING.
21:36:01 EVERYTHING POINTS TO THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON WITH RIDE
21:36:05 SHARE, THERE ARE LESS AND LESS PEOPLE DRIVING THEIR OWN
21:36:09 VEHICLES AND PARKING THEIR OWN VEHICLES TODAY.
21:36:11 AND QUITE HONESTLY AT THIS HOTEL THIS IS GOING TO BE MORE
21:36:15 THAN LIKELY A SPECIALTY BUSINESS TRAVELER, SOMEONE WHO IS
21:36:18 COMING IN, PROBABLY FLYING INTO TAMPA INTERNATIONAL,
21:36:22 CATCHING UBER, CATCHING LYFT, DOING THE SAME THING WHEN
21:36:27 THEY GO DOWNTOWN IN WESTSHORE DISTRICT.
21:36:31 BOTH WAIVERS, ALL OF THE WAIVERS WE ARE REQUESTING, WE
21:36:33 BELIEVE ARE JUSTIFIED DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS
21:36:35 HISTORIC PROPERTY.
21:36:36 WE ARE CONSTRAINED.
21:36:38 WE CAN'T CHANGE THE STRUCTURE OF THE BUILDING.
21:36:42 IT'S A DESIGNATED HISTORIC PROPERTY.
21:36:46 WE HAVE NO WAY TO REALLY DO ANYTHING FURTHER WITH THE
21:36:49 PARKING.
21:36:50 WE HAVE DONE AS MUCH AS WE CAN.
21:36:51 WE KEPT IT WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE PROPERTY.
21:36:54 WE HAVE TRADE TO STAY AWAY FROM GOING FURTHER AND DEEPER
21:36:57 INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, TRYING TO KEEP EVERYTHING OUT ONTO
21:37:00 HOWARD.
21:37:02 WE REASONABLY BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE MET OUR BURDEN OF
21:37:05 PROOF WITH RESPECT TO THE REQUESTED WAIVERS.
21:37:07 OTHER THAN THE PARKING WAIVER, STAFF FOUND THE REST OF
21:37:11 THE REQUEST CONSISTENT, AND WE WOULD ASK THAT YOU DO.
21:37:18 >>LUIS VIERA: ANY QUESTIONS?
21:37:19 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
21:37:20 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IT'S GETTING LATE, BUT MR. SYKES, CAN
21:37:23 YOU CLARIFY THE STAFF MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT A CHAIN
21:37:27 LINK FENCE.
21:37:28 ALL I SEE IS A 4-FOOT DECORATIVE FENCE.
21:37:32 >> IT IS A 4-FOOT DECK RAH T TIFF FENCE AROUND THE POOL,
21:37:35 YES, SIR.
21:37:35 >> WROUGHT IRON?
21:37:38 MORE THAN LIKELY THE ALUMINUM THAT LOOKS -- I KNOW THAT
21:37:43 STAFF IS GOING TO BE IN CLOSING --
21:37:45 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: NO CHAIN LINK ASSOCIATED?
21:37:47 >> NO, SIR.
21:37:48 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND JUST AS AN ASIDE, I KNOW I
21:37:52 SHOULDN'T PREJUDGE ANY PROJECT, MR. SHELBY.
21:37:54 I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS BUILDING ONCE OR TWICE.
21:37:56 IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING INSIDE.
21:37:59 IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT.
21:38:00 AND THEN I HAVE TO SAY I SEE ON THE PROJECT IT'S NAMED
21:38:04 THE HOTEL SADIE, AND MY DAUGHTER IS SADIE.
21:38:08 >> WISH I COULD SAY WE PLANNED THAT.
21:38:15 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: NO IMPACT ON MY VOTE.
21:38:16 >>LUIS VIERA: COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
21:38:20 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I THINK IT'S A VERY EXCITING
21:38:22 PROJECT.
21:38:23 I HAVE ALWAYS SAID IF I WIN THE LOTTERY I WOULD BUY A
21:38:26 CIGAR FACTORY AND MAKE IT MY MANSION BUT I AM NOT GOING
21:38:30 TO WIN THE LOTTERY.
21:38:31 BUT YOU MENTIONED REGARDING THE PARKING WAIVERS AND
21:38:33 WHATNOT, YOU KNOW, CAME UP IN THE PREVIOUS THING, IF IT
21:38:38 WASN'T FOR THE PARKING, YOU ARE CONSTRUCTED BECAUSE IT IS
21:38:42 A HISTORIC PROPERTY.
21:38:43 BACK IN THE DAY THE CIGAR WORKERS WALKED FROM WHERE THEY
21:38:46 LIVED IN THE AREA.
21:38:47 SO PARKING AND PARK LOTS, YOU SHOWED THAT PHOTOGRAPH AND
21:38:51 I THINK THERE WAS ONE CAR ON THE ROAD.
21:38:53 AND OF COURSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE AUTOMOBILE OWNERSHIP LIKE
21:38:56 THAT.
21:38:56 IT'S A SPECIALTY HOTEL FOR A SPECIALTY CLIENT, A BUSINESS
21:39:00 TRAVELER, WHATEVER IT IS.
21:39:02 THEY ARE GOING TO UBER.
21:39:04 THEY MAY RENT A CAR.
21:39:05 BUT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO FILL UP ALL THOSE PARKING SPACES
21:39:08 BECAUSE GENERALLY NO HOTEL IT'S NOT LIKE THAT.
21:39:12 I AM GLAD TO SEE SOMEBODY INVESTING IN HISTORIC PROPERTY
21:39:14 THAT HAS SAT VACANT FOR SO LONG.
21:39:17 YOU SEE HOW DETERIORATED IT IS INSIDE.
21:39:20 IT WILL BE DEMOLITION BY NEGLECT BECAUSE BEFORE YOU FLOW
21:39:25 IT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE MADE OF BRICK AND HEAVY I HAVE
21:39:28 MATERIALS, YOU CAN'T FIGHT MOTHER NATURE AND YOU CAN'T
21:39:31 FIGHT THE TROPICAL CLIMATES AND THE HUMIDITY AND LACK OF
21:39:34 AIR CONDITIONING AND WHATNOT.
21:39:36 SO WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING AND THE INVESTMENT THAT'S
21:39:37 BEING MADE, IT IS A UNIQUE PRODUCT.
21:39:39 LOOK AT LE MERIDIAN DOWN THE STREET HOW THAT'S A BOUTIQUE
21:39:44 HOTEL AND IT'S A BEAUTIFUL HOTEL.
21:39:46 AND IN YOU HAD TO BUILD SOMETHING LIKE THAT TODAY, LOOK
21:39:48 AT ALL THAT MARBLE, ALL OF THAT LABOR.
21:39:52 LOOK AT WHAT YOU SHOWED IN THE LOBBY, THE TILE,
21:39:54 EVERYTHING ELSE.
21:39:56 HOW COULD THAT BE PROFITABLE AND AFFORDABLE?
21:39:58 AND WHO WOULD BUILD IT?
21:39:59 WHERE DO YOU FIND THAT KIND OF SKILLED LABOR IN TODAY'S
21:40:02 WORLD?
21:40:02 SO THIS IS VERY EXCITING.
21:40:04 I AM NOT TESTIFYING.
21:40:05 I AM JUST GIVING MY OPINION.
21:40:07 THAT HISTORIC AREA IN WEST TAMPA IS VERY IMPORTANT TO THE
21:40:11 COMMUNITY, AND CIGAR FACTORIES ARE THE CASTLES OF WHAT I
21:40:17 LIKE TO SAY OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS.
21:40:20 THOSE ARE JUST MY THOUGHTS.
21:40:22 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
21:40:23 COUNCILMAN CITRO.
21:40:25 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I APPLAUD YOU FOR SAVING AN HISTORIC
21:40:27 BUILDING BUT I JUST HAVE TO ASK, YOU ARE NOT PLANNING ON
21:40:30 PAINTING THIS BUILDING, ARE YOU?
21:40:32 >> NO, SIR.
21:40:34 ALTHOUGH I WILL ADMIT, AS I TOLD MR. VILA AND THE STAFF I
21:40:38 THINK AT OUR FIRST MEETING, WHEN I FIRST SAT DOWN WITH MY
21:40:41 CLIENT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE PROJECT AND HE SAID SO
21:40:43 WE CAN GO AHEAD AND STUCCO THIS STEREO, RIGHT?
21:40:46 AND I SAID, NO.
21:40:47 NO.
21:40:47 IT'S GOING TO BE REPOINTED.
21:40:49 WE HAVE HAD A LENGTHY DISCUSSION A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO
21:40:53 ABOUT RESTORATION OF THE BRICK, ABOUT MAINTAINING SOME OF
21:40:57 THE AREAS THAT WERE PAINTED THAT PROBABLY SHOULDN'T HAVE
21:41:00 BEEN PAINTED BUT YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS AGO AND JUST
21:41:03 KEEPING THAT CHARACTER AND FEEL OF THE HISTORIC NATURE OF
21:41:05 THE BUILDING.
21:41:06 SO BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, NO.
21:41:09 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YOU HAVE JUST MADE MOST OF WEST TAMPA
21:41:11 HAPPY.
21:41:12 THANK YOU.
21:41:12 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYONE ELSE?
21:41:14 OKAY.

21:42:38 MOTIONS, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER?
21:42:41 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES, SIR.
21:42:41 A COUPLE OF ITEMS.
21:42:43 I'M LOOKING FOR A STAFF REPORT FROM TRANSPORTATION NEXT
21:42:47 THURSDAY, AND I USUALLY GIVE THEM MORE TIME.
21:42:49 BUT IN THIS CASE THERE'S SOME URGENCY.
21:42:52 AS RELATED -- I GOT AN E-MAIL FROM A CONSTITUENT ON THE
21:42:59 SOUTH DESOTO IN HYDE PARK AND SAID THE CITY IS TAKING
21:43:05 DOWN LAUREL OAKS UP AND DOWN THE STREET AS PART OF OUR
21:43:08 REPAVING EFFORT.
21:43:10 AND THEY ARE OLD OAK TREES.
21:43:14 SO I'LL ASK TRANSPORTATION STAFF TO COME NEXT THURSDAY
21:43:20 AND GIVE US A REPORT ON THAT.
21:43:23 I HAVE ALSO REPORTED THIS TO THE MAYOR AND CHIEF OF STAFF
21:43:27 ALREADY TO TRY AND PUT A STOP TO IT.
21:43:32 >>BILL CARLSON: SECOND.
21:43:33 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
21:43:33 AND COUNCILMAN CITRO WANTED TO ASK.
21:43:38 >>JOSEPH CITRO: [OFF MICROPHONE] YES.
21:43:39 ALSO ASK WHEN THEY ARE HAVING THE SPEED BUMPS AND SPEED
21:43:44 LIMIT SIGNS REPLACED ON OKLAHOMA IN BETWEEN DALE MABRY
21:43:47 AND WESTSHORE.
21:43:48 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: DO YOU WANT TO DO THAT SEPARATE?
21:43:53 >>JOSEPH CITRO: WHILE THEY ARE HERE.
21:43:56 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I WAS JUST THINKING IT'S KIND OF
21:43:58 DIFFERENT.
21:44:00 I THINK IT WOULD BE CLEANER.
21:44:01 >>LUIS VIERA: OKAY.
21:44:02 WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
21:44:04 SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
21:44:05 ALL IN FAVOR?
21:44:06 ANY OPPOSED?
21:44:09 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MY NEXT ONE RELATES TO AN ITEM THAT
21:44:11 CAME UP A LITTLE WHILE AGO, WHICH IS TO -- UNLESS WE HAVE
21:44:17 ALREADY DONE THIS, WHICH IS POSSIBLE, BUT ASK FOR A STAFF
21:44:21 REPORT IN PERSON TO ADDRESS THE PARKING CODE,
21:44:27 SPECIFICALLY IN URBAN AREAS NEAR DOWNTOWN.
21:44:31 WE KEEP HEARING TESTIMONY.
21:44:34 WE KEEP GETTING WAIVER REQUESTS, TALKING ABOUT UBER AND
21:44:37 THIS AND THAT.
21:44:38 AND FRANKLY IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.
21:44:41 AND MAYBE OUR CODE IS OUT OF DATE.
21:44:42 >> I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A REPORT.
21:44:49 >>MARTIN SHELBY: AND IF I MAY, I HAVE A RECOLLECTION OF
21:44:52 IT BEING DISCUSSED AND I DON'T KNOW [OFF MICROPHONE] BUT.
21:45:02 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: DO YOU WANT TO RESEARCH IT AND I WILL
21:45:04 DEFER THIS ONE?
21:45:06 THAT'S FINE.
21:45:07 OKAY.
21:45:09 I WILL DEFER THAT ONE.
21:45:11 AND THE LAST ONE CAME UP IN REZONING 19-92 WHICH IS NOW
21:45:18 OVER, BUT SPECIFICALLY, I WOULD LIKE OUR SENIOR STAFF,
21:45:24 PERHAPS REAL ESTATE STAFF, TO INVESTIGATE THE POSSIBILITY
21:45:28 OF A CITY PURCHASING THE 80-FOOT CSX CORRIDOR THAT WE SAW
21:45:34 THE FLYER COME UP FOR SALE, 3.71 ACRES OF CORRIDOR.
21:45:42 AND AS WE ALL KNOW, THAT CORRIDOR CAN BE EXTREMELY
21:45:45 VALUABLE TO OUR COMMUNITY AND IS IRREPLACEABLE IN TERMS
21:45:50 OF THE FUTURE FOR GREENWAY TRAILS, MASS TRANSIT,
21:45:55 ET CETERA.
21:45:55 SO I WOULD LIKE TO ASK STAFF AND MAYBE REAL ESTATE STAFF
21:46:01 TO EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITY OF THE CITY PARTICIPATING OR
21:46:05 PURCHASING THAT 80-FOOT CSX CORRIDOR THAT IS MADE
21:46:10 REFERENCE TO IN FILE REZ-19-92 ON THE FLYER.
21:46:15 >> SECOND.
21:46:16 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN, MR. CHAIRMAN.
21:46:19 I AM GOING TO RAISE A CONCERN IN THAT THIS IS COMING BACK
21:46:25 FOR SECOND READING, AND IT'S RELATIVE TO AN OBJECTION.
21:46:33 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
21:46:35 ALL RIGHT, I'LL DEFER THIS ONE, TOO.
21:46:36 I HEAR YOUR POINT.
21:46:38 WELL TAKEN.
21:46:38 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU.
21:46:40 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I'LL BRING THAT ONE BACK IN A FEW
21:46:42 WEEKS OR WHATEVER.
21:46:43 ANYTHING ELSE, SIR?
21:46:46 >>MARTIN SHELBY: OR I RECOMMEND THAT YOU KEEP THAT IN
21:46:50 YOUR MIND FOR CONSIDERATION UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THIS
21:46:52 MATTER IS FULLY RESOLVED.
21:46:54 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO NOTED.

21:48:35 SO IT WILL BE GOOD TO BRING IT BACK UP.
21:48:40 >>JOSEPH CITRO: AND THAT DATE WILL BE FINE WITH ME.
21:48:43 ALSO GIVING A TIME ESTIMATE ON WHEN THE SPEED HUMPS AND
21:48:48 SPEED LIMIT SIGNS WILL BE REPLACED ON OKLAHOMA BETWEEN

21:51:22 ANY OPPOSED?
21:51:23 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I WON'T BE MAKING A MOTION UNTIL WE
21:51:25 KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING.
21:51:26 THERE'S OVER 100 CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES, CHICAGO AND
21:51:29 NEW YORK I THINK IS TWO OF THEM, THAT HAVE CAMERAS LIKE
21:51:33 WE DO IN RED LIGHTS BUT THEY GET SPEEDERS INSTEAD OF RED
21:51:37 LIGHTS.
21:51:37 PEOPLE WHO ARE SPEEDING.
21:51:39 AND IT CUTS DOWN THE POLICE OFFICERS DO SOMETHING THAT
21:51:42 THEY NEED TO DO, THAT'S INVESTIGATIVE THINGS THAT THEY
21:51:44 ARE UP TO THEIR NECK IN, AND I AM NOT MAKING A MOTION TO
21:51:47 THAT NOW.
21:51:48 I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW WHERE WE ARE COMING FROM AND IN

21:51:52 WILL MAYBE MAKE A MOTION.
21:51:54 I AM GOING TO TALK TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE

21:51:56 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
21:51:58 COUNCILMAN CARLSON, ANYTHING, SIR?
21:52:00 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
21:52:01 SORRY TO HOLD US UP FOR A COUPLE OF EXTRA MINUTES.
21:52:04 ON JANUARY 23rd, I AM SUPPOSED TO GIVE A FOLLOW-UP TO
21:52:07 THE TAMPA SCORECARD, AND I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THAT TO
21:52:11 MARCH 19th SO THAT I CAN DO ANY COORDINATION WITH
21:52:16 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
21:52:17 SO I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO MOVE MY UPDATE UP
21:52:21 FROM JANUARY 23rd TO MARCH 19.
21:52:24 >>LUIS VIERA: WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
21:52:26 SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
21:52:27 ALL IN FAVOR?
21:52:29 OPPOSED?
21:52:31 >>BILL CARLSON: SECOND ONE A LITTLE BIGGER.
21:52:32 YOU ALL REMEMBER WHEN WE HAD THE BIG DISCUSSION ABOUT THE
21:52:34 EDC, SORRY TO HIT YOU ALL WITH THIS AT NIGHT, BUT ONE OF
21:52:38 THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED WAS THAT THE INTERN THAT WEIGHED
21:52:43 FIGURED OUT THAT THERE WAS AN ERROR IN THE WAY THE EDC
21:52:46 REPORTED THEIR INFORMATION.
21:52:47 THEY SAID JUST IN ONE SECTION THEY SAID THERE WERE 100
21:52:50 JOBS, $150,000 EACH, AND WHEN WE ASKED THE QUESTION
21:52:54 BECAUSE THAT LOOKED HEY, THEY SAID IT'S ACTUALLY 75,000.
21:52:59 SAID THAT WAS A 7.5 MILLION ERROR OUT OF ABOUT 90 MILLION
21:53:02 THAT THEY CLAIMED THAT YEAR.
21:53:03 WE HAVE ON MARCH 5th CAROL POST IS GOING TO BE GIVING
21:53:06 A REPORT ON THE ROI OF THE EDC BUT WE DON'T KNOW ALL THE
21:53:11 NUMBERS THAT THEY PRESENTED WERE CORRECT.
21:53:13 AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ASK THEM TO
21:53:16 JUST DO A REVIEW OF THEIR OWN NUMBERS AND PRESENT BACK --
21:53:20 I WILL READ THE MOTION, MAKE A MOTION THAT THE TAMPA BAY
21:53:23 EDC REVIEW ITS REPORTS TO THE CITY OVER THE PAST FIVE
21:53:26 YEARS TO FIND I AM AND CORRECT ANY ERRORS AND SUBMIT A
21:53:30 WRITTEN REPORT TO THE CITY BEFORE FEBRUARY 16th THAT
21:53:33 WILL INCLUDE THE CORRECT DATA LONG WITH A REPORT ON WHAT
21:53:37 CHANGED AND WHY.
21:53:37 >>LUIS VIERA: IF I MAY, YOU WANT THE EDC TO DO A REPORT
21:53:42 ON THE LAST FIVE YEARS.
21:53:45 >>BILL CARLSON: TO REVIEW THEIR REPORT.
21:53:47 THEY SUBMITTED REPORTS I THINK MONTHLY TO THE CITY OVER
21:53:51 THE LAST FIVE YEARS, AND THE INTERN, THE CITY COUNCIL
21:53:55 INTERN IN ONE HOUR FOUND A 7.35 MILLION ERROR.
21:53:58 SO MY CONCERN IS IF THE NEW HEAD OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
21:54:02 IS REPORTING ON THE ROI, WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE WHETHER
21:54:05 THE NUMBERS ARE CORRECT.
21:54:06 AND SO ALL I AM ASKING THE EDC TO DO IS LOOK AT THEIR OWN
21:54:10 NUMBERS AND VERIFY THAT THEY ARE CORRECT.
21:54:12 WE KNOW AT LEAST ONE OF THEM IS WRONG.
21:54:13 BUT VERIFY THEIR OWN NUMBERS, AND JUST GET BACK WITH US
21:54:17 ON WHAT THE REAL NUMBERS ARE SO THAT MS. POST WILL HAVE
21:54:22 THE CORRECT NUMBERS.
21:54:23 >>LUIS VIERA: HAVE YOU INQUIRED WITH THEM WHAT THE
21:54:25 NUMBERS ARE?
21:54:26 I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF -- IF THIS IS A LARGE --
21:54:30 >>BILL CARLSON: I HAVE NOT TALKED TO THEM.
21:54:31 BUT THEIR NUMBERS ARE NOT THAT COMPLICATED.
21:54:33 I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL HAVE SEEN THEIR REPORTS BUT IT'S
21:54:35 JUST A LISTING OF THE PROJECTS.
21:54:36 IT'S THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS WITH -- IT'S THE PROJECTS
21:54:39 WITH THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES TIMES THE ANTICIPATED
21:54:44 SALARIES.
21:54:46 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYTHING ELSE?
21:54:53 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MAYBE JUST OVER TWO OR THREE YEARS.
21:54:54 I'M FAMILIAR WITH THOSE REPORTS.
21:54:56 IT SEEMS LIKE A FAIR AMOUNT OF WORK OVER FIVE YEARS.
21:55:00 >>BILL CARLSON: IF YOU WILL SECOND IT I WILL CHANGE IT TO
21:55:01 THREE YEARS.
21:55:03 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I WILL SECOND IT FOR THREE YEARS.
21:55:05 >>LUIS VIERA: OKAY.
21:55:08 >>BILL CARLSON: OKAY.
21:55:09 I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT.
21:55:10 THIS IS NOT A PUNITIVE THING.
21:55:11 I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE CORRECT NUMBERS ARE.
21:55:14 AND IF THE NUMBERS ARE ALL CORRECT OTHER THAN THAT ONE,
21:55:16 CITY STAFF ALREADY VERIFIED THAT ONE WAS WRONG.
21:55:19 BUT IF THE OTHER NUMBERS ARE CORRECT, THEN FINE, AT LEAST
21:55:23 WE HAVE THE CORRECT NUMBERS THAT WE CAN USE TO LOOK AT
21:55:25 IT.
21:55:26 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ACCURACY IS IMPORTANT.
21:55:27 YOU HAVE GOT MY SECOND FOR THREE YEARS.
21:55:29 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MAY I INQUIRE, MR. CHAIRMAN, HOW WILL
21:55:31 THIS MOTION BE COMMUNICATED TO EDC?
21:55:34 THROUGH THE ADMINISTRATION OR THROUGH CITY COUNCIL?
21:55:38 >>LUIS VIERA: I WOULD ASSUME THROUGH COUNCILMAN CARLSON'S
21:55:40 OFFICE.
21:55:41 >>BILL CARLSON: I AM HAPPY TO PASS IT ON.
21:55:43 >>LUIS VIERA: I WILL VOTE FOR IT.
21:55:44 I DON'T WANT TO GO DOWN A RABBIT MOLE HOLE WITH THE EDC,
21:55:48 NUMBER ONE.
21:55:48 NUMBER TWO, IF THEY NEED MORE TIME I WOULD EXPECT A
21:55:51 PROFESSIONAL COURTESY GIVEN TO THEM I.DON'T WANT THEM TO
21:55:54 COME IN HERE AND SAY WHERE IS THIS INFORMATION, SENATES
21:55:56 THEY RECEIVE MONEY FROM THE CITY.
21:55:57 SO I THINK IT'S A REASONABLE FOR SOME ACCOUNTABILITY IN
21:56:00 THAT REGARD.
21:56:01 BUT JUST IF THEY NEED MORE TIME THAT THEY SHOULD BE
21:56:06 AFFORDED THAT COURTESY.
21:56:08 >>BILL CARLSON: THE ONLY REASON I SET THAT DATE, IT'S A
21:56:10 MONTH FROM NOW BUT ALSO WE ARE ASKING TWO WEEKS LATER FOR
21:56:13 MS. POST TO COME BACK WITH HER REPORT SO WE WILL MOVE
21:56:17 THAT BACK.
21:56:19 IT'S MARCH 5th.
21:56:22 >>LUIS VIERA: SO AS A PROFESSIONAL COURTESY TO YOU, I
21:56:25 WILL DO IT AS LONG AS WE HAVE THE PROFESSIONAL COURTESY
21:56:27 TO THEM.
21:56:27 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE AN
21:56:31 APPEARANCE ON THAT DATE BY THE --
21:56:34 >>BILL CARLSON: NO, THEY DON'T HAVE TO COME.
21:56:35 IT SAYS A WRITTEN REPORT.
21:56:36 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU.
21:56:38 >>LUIS VIERA: WE HAVE A MOTION.
21:56:39 ANYONE ELSE?
21:56:41 SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
21:56:43 ALL IN FAVOR?
21:56:44 ANY OPPOSED?
21:56:45 ANYTHING ELSE, SIR?
21:56:47 >>BILL CARLSON: THE LAST THING IS HALF OF US HAVE THE
21:56:50 BAYSHORE AREA AS A CITIZENS.
21:56:53 I THINK WE -- CITIZENS.
21:56:56 I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A WORKSHOP ON BAYSHORE.
21:56:59 WE WOULD HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE SHOW UP, AND THERE HAVE
21:57:02 BEEN THREE PLANS OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS.
21:57:04 ONE OF THEM WAS ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO, ONLY PART OF THE
21:57:08 RECOMMENDATIONS WERE IMPLEMENTED.
21:57:10 RIGHT NOW A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE MOVED INTO THE AREA AND
21:57:12 THERE'S NOT CONSENSUS ON WHAT THE PLAN SHOULD BE.
21:57:15 I IMAGINE THE CITY WILL GO THROUGH SOME LENGTHY PROCESS.
21:57:17 BUT THE PUBLIC IS ASKING US TO HAVE SOME KIND OF WORKSHOP
21:57:20 ON THAT.
21:57:20 AND SO IF YOU ALL WERE SO INCLINED I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT
21:57:24 I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION -- LET ME ASK YOU WHAT YOU
21:57:27 THINK FIRST AND THEN I CAN MAKE A MOTION.
21:57:29 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WITH BAYSHORE AND SPEEDING, THE KIDS
21:57:34 THAT WERE RACING, THAT WAS A HUGE ISSUE.
21:57:37 AND OF COURSE THE MOTHER AND THE CHILD DADE.
21:57:41 NOW WITH THIS OTHER INCIDENT, YOU KNOW, BAYSHORE PEOPLE
21:57:45 CALL IT A PARK.
21:57:46 IT'S THE WORLD'S LONGEST CONTINUOUS SIDEWALK.
21:57:49 BUT PEOPLE DON'T FEEL SAFE THERE.
21:57:50 EVEN THOUGH WHERE THE WATER IS AND THE SIDEWALK IS
21:57:54 FARTHER OFF THE STREET, WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENCES
21:57:58 WHERE PEOPLE ARE GETTING KILLED.
21:57:59 AND IT SHOULDN'T BE LIKE THAT.
21:58:02 SHOULD IT BE TAKEN DOWN TO TWO LANES?
21:58:07 THE NORTHBOUND LANE GOING SOUTHBOUND CLOSED OFF SO IT
21:58:11 WOULD JUST BE LEFT LIKE THAT?
21:58:12 YOU KNOW, MAKE IT TWO WAY, WHICH WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY
21:58:17 CHANGE EVERYTHING.
21:58:18 EMERGENCY SERVICES ARE GOING TO HAVE THEIR OPINION ON
21:58:22 GETTING TO THAT AREA IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME.
21:58:25 THE AMOUNT OF CARS THAT MOVE THROUGH THERE ALL THE TIME
21:58:27 ON A DAILY BASIS.
21:58:29 BUT I KNOW THE ADMINISTRATION, YOU KNOW, CHANGES SPEED
21:58:32 LIMIT, REDUCE IT BY FIVE MIAMI MILES AN HOUR.
21:58:35 WE HAVE THE CROSSING CROSSWALKS FOR PEOPLE TO CROSS OVER
21:58:37 BUT IT'S STILL NOT ENOUGH.
21:58:38 IT SHOULD BE PEDESTRIAN CENTRIC, NOT CAR-CENTRIC.
21:58:42 WE ARE SO FOCUSED ON MOVING THE TRAFFIC AND WE NEED TO
21:58:45 LOOK AT DIFFERENT OPTIONS AND IDEAS.
21:58:46 SO I THINK A WORKSHOP WOULD BE GREAT BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE
21:58:49 DYING.
21:58:49 IT IS A LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION.
21:58:52 >>LUIS VIERA: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
21:58:55 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ABOUT 14, 15 YEARS EARLIER ANOTHER
21:58:57 TRAGIC ACCIDENT, THE MOTORCYCLE THAT HIT THE PEDESTRIAN,
21:59:00 AND MAYOR IORIO COMMISSIONED THE BAYSHORE TASK FORCE.
21:59:09 VICKI POLLYEA SERVED ON IT AS WELL AS MYSELF AND
21:59:12 ANOTHER'S.
21:59:13 I LOVED IT AND IT WAS REALLY COMPREHENSIVE.
21:59:16 WE MET FOR LIKE TWO MONTHS, EVERY OTHER WEEK AND HAD LOTS
21:59:19 OF DIFFERENT STAFF AND THE PUBLIC AND ALL.
21:59:23 AND THEN WE CAME BACK WITH A REPORT, A REPORT TO THE CITY
21:59:28 AND A REPORT TO COUNCIL.
21:59:31 AND WITH RECOMMENDATIONS, SOME OF WHICH WERE IMPLEMENTED.
21:59:33 AND EVERY TIME WE DO IT, I THINK BAYSHORE GETS A LITTLE
21:59:37 BETTER, A LITTLE SAFER. I DON'T KNOW IF PART OF THE
21:59:40 MOTION MIGHT WANT TO BE -- AND MAYBE WE CAN KICK IT OFF
21:59:44 WITH A WORKSHOP BUT MAYBE INCH THE ADMINISTRATION TO GO
21:59:47 AHEAD AND COMMISSION A FULL-BLOWN TASK FORCE TO REALLY
21:59:52 TAKE A BIG LOOK AT THIS.
21:59:55 >>ORLANDO GUDES: [OFF MICROPHONE] I THINK THERE ARE
22:00:02 OTHER AREAS OF THE CITY AS WELL.
22:00:05 YOU TALK ABOUT COMMISSIONING A TASK FORCE.
22:00:09 AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A JOINT UNIVERSAL TASK FORCE FOR
22:00:13 THE WHOLE CITY, NOT JUST FOR BAYSHORE.
22:00:16 UNFORTUNATELY, BAD BEHAVIOR ON THE INCIDENT LAST WEEK
22:00:19 CREATED THAT PROBLEM.
22:00:20 NOT JUST SPEED.
22:00:21 BAD BEHAVIOR OF SOMEONE DRINKING AND DRIVING.
22:00:24 LET'S BE CLEAR.
22:00:25 I KNOW BAYSHORE HAS SOME ISSUES.
22:00:27 BUT SOMEONE WAS DRINKING, AND MADE A BAD ERROR IN
22:00:32 JUDGMENT AND WOUND UP KILLING SOMEONE, AND IT HURT HIS
22:00:36 FAMILY AND THE FAMILY OF THE PERSON THAT PASSED AWAY.
22:00:39 I CAN TELL YOU AS A PERSON WHO WROTE SPEEDING TICKETS,
22:00:42 CERTAIN AREAS, LASERS, BAD BEHAVIOR IS BAD BEHAVIOR.
22:00:47 AND I DON'T CARE HOW YOU TRY TO CHANGE LANES, DROPPING IT
22:00:53 TO TEN MILES AN HOUR, PEOPLE STILL HAVE BAD BEHAVIOR AND
22:00:56 SPEED.
22:00:57 BUT I CAN SUPPORT THE MOTION.
22:00:59 BUTT IF WE ARE GOING TO SAY A TASK FORCE, I CAN SUPPORT A
22:01:02 TASK FORCE BUT NOT JUST MERELY FOR BAYSHORE, BECAUSE I
22:01:05 GET CALLS ALL THE TIME ABOUT 40TH STREET, TO BUSCH
22:01:09 BOULEVARD, AND OTHER AREAS.
22:01:10 SO I THINK IF YOU WANT TO DO A TASK FORCE, WE DO IT FOR
22:01:14 THE WHOLE CITY.
22:01:16 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: BY THE WAY, MR. CHAIRMAN, I'M SURE IF
22:01:18 WE HAVEN'T DONE IT ALREADY, I WOULD LIKE US TO EXPRESS
22:01:21 OUR CONDOLENCES TO THE GAUGE FAMILY FOR THAT TRAGEDY.
22:01:31 >>LUIS VIERA: AND COUNCILMAN CITRO.
22:01:34 >>JOSEPH CITRO: [OFF MICROPHONE] COUNCILMAN, I AGREE WITH
22:01:37 YOU, PUT SOME PEOPLE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A 3,000-POUND
22:01:41 VEHICLE WHO IS INTOXICATED NOT ONLY ON ALCOHOL BUT
22:01:44 MARIJUANA, THAT VEHICLE TURNS INTO A WEAPON.
22:01:48 AND THAT WEAPON THROUGHOUT OUR COUNTRY HAS KILLED MORE
22:01:52 PEOPLE THAN HANDGUNS.
22:01:53 AND PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT.
22:01:55 I LIVE ON BAYSHORE.
22:01:58 SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ON BAYSHORE.
22:02:01 I WILL GRANT THAT.
22:02:02 BUT I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING, THAT THE CITY NEEDS TO BE
22:02:04 LOOKED AT IN ALL NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS.
22:02:07 YES, SIR.
22:02:07 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYONE ELSE?
22:02:10 SIR?
22:02:14 >>BILL CARLSON: IF YOU ALL WANT TO COMBINE THOSE TWO I
22:02:15 WILL MAKE A COMBINED MOTION.
22:02:17 I DON'T KNOW A DATE THAT WE CAN TAKE IT.
22:02:19 IT'S GOING TO TAKE AT LEAST AN HOUR TO DO SOMETHING LIKE
22:02:21 THAT.
22:02:23 BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE HOLD A WORKSHOP
22:02:26 ON THE ISSUES AROUND BAYSHORE BOULEVARD.
22:02:31 AND THAT WE ASK THE ADMINISTRATION TO FORM A TASK FORCE
22:02:36 REGARDING SPEEDING THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
22:02:38 >>LUIS VIERA: LET ME SAY IF I MAY, I STRONGLY SUPPORT
22:02:43 THIS.
22:02:44 WE DO NEED TO NOT JUST TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES THAT
22:02:47 COUNCILMAN CARLSON HAS SAID BEFORE BUT ALSO ABOUT
22:02:51 RESIDENTS OF BAYSHORE HAVE A VENUE BY WHICH THEY CAN
22:02:54 EXPRESS THEIR FRUSTRATIONS AND THEIR SENTIMENTS AND THEIR
22:02:58 PROPOSALS TO ALL OF US AS THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS.
22:03:02 I STRONGLY DO SUPPORT THAT.
22:03:05 YOU ALL TALK ABOUT CITY OF TAMPA AND BRANDING, AND
22:03:09 BAYSHORE ALWAYS COMES ON TOP OF THE LIST.
22:03:12 COUNCILMAN GUDES POINTS TO OTHER AREAS OF THE CITY OF
22:03:14 TAMPA IS OBVIOUSLY WELL TAKEN, AND WE DID A WORKSHOP NOT
22:03:18 LONG AGO ON BUSCH BOULEVARD WHERE I HOPE WE SEE SOME REAL
22:03:21 PROGRESS IN THAT REGARD, LIKE BAYSHORE CERTAINLY IS
22:03:24 WORTHY OF OUR ATTENTION.
22:03:26 THAT GOES WITHOUT SAYING.
22:03:32 >>BILL CARLSON: IS THERE A DATE YOU THINK WE HAVE TIME TO
22:03:34 DO THIS?
22:03:35 >>LUIS VIERA: LET ME LOOK AT IT FIRST.
22:03:37 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYONE HAVE A CALENDAR?
22:03:48 WE HAVE WORKSHOPS FEBRUARY 27, MARCH 26 AND APRIL
22:03:52 23rd.
22:03:54 >>LUIS VIERA: HOW IS FEBRUARY 27th, MR. SHELBY?
22:03:57 >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOU HAVE TWO STAFF REPORTS.
22:03:59 YOU HAVE A COMMENDATION.
22:04:01 AND YOU HAVE ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR WORKSHOPS.
22:04:08 >>LUIS VIERA: OH, BOY.
22:04:09 WHAT ARE THE WORKSHOPS?
22:04:10 >>MARTIN SHELBY: ONE IS TO DISCUSS THE ISSUES OF HOUSING
22:04:12 AND CONTRACTING THE CITY'S HIRING PROCESS.
22:04:15 AND IN REGARD TO PRIVATE SECTOR HOUSING PRACTICES.
22:04:19 THE SECOND ONE IS DISCUSS HUMAN TRAFFICKING WITH REGARD
22:04:21 TO THE SUPER BOWL.
22:04:23 THE THIRD ONE IS CATHERINE COYLE TO EXPLAIN THE CURRENT
22:04:27 TREE ORDINANCE WITH A REPORT ON THE NUMBER OF TREES.
22:04:30 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HOW IS MARCH 26th?
22:04:34 >>LUIS VIERA: ARE YOU OKAY WITH GOING TO MARCH,
22:04:35 COUNCILMAN CARLSON?
22:04:37 OR DO YOU WANT TO TRY TO FIT IT INTO FEBRUARY?
22:04:40 >>BILL CARLSON: I THINK IF WE SCHEDULE IT, THEN THE
22:04:42 LONGER WE PUT IT OUT THE MORE TIME WE GET THE PUBLIC TO
22:04:45 ORGANIZE.
22:04:47 >>LUIS VIERA: OKAY, GOOD.
22:04:48 JUST MAKING SURE.
22:04:48 >>MARTIN SHELBY: AGAIN POLICE OFFICER OF THE MONTH, ONE,
22:04:53 TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX WORKSHOPS.
22:05:03 >>BILL CARLSON: APRIL 23rd HAS NOTHING.
22:05:05 >>LUIS VIERA: APRIL 23rd FIRST IN LINE?
22:05:08 >>BILL CARLSON: WELL, SULPHUR SPRINGS.
22:05:10 >>LUIS VIERA: SECOND IN LANE.
22:05:14 >>BILL CARLSON: IT GIVES US TAME.
22:05:15 I THINK WE NEED TO LEAVE AT LEAST AN HOUR FOR PUBLIC
22:05:18 INPUT ON THAT.
22:05:18 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MAY I SUGGEST SULPHUR SPRINGS IS SET
22:05:23 FOR 9:00.
22:05:24 PERHAPS WE SET IT FOR 10:00 AND COUNCIL MIGHT WANT TO
22:05:27 CONSIDER JUST LIMITING THE SUBJECT MATTERS THAT DAY.
22:05:33 >>LUIS VIERA: SURE.
22:05:33 WE CAN DO THAT.
22:05:34 SO ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT?
22:05:36 IN FACT, COUNCIL WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CARLSON,
22:05:40 SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
22:05:44 GIVE TO THE DINGFELDER?
22:05:45 ALL IN FAVOR?
