[ROLL CALL]

LORD WE THANK YOU THAT YOU HAVE PROMISED US WISDOM AND DIRECTION AND GUIDANCE AND LORD, I WOULD ASK THAT TONIGHT. FOR THESE THAT YOU'VE PLACED IN POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY OVER US. YOUR WORD TELLS US THAT WE'RE TO PRAY FOR THOSE IN AUTHORITY. AND LORD. MANY OF US DO JUST THAT ON A REGULAR BASIS, NOT JUST ONCE A MONTH AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING, BUT WE PRAY REGULARLY.

FOR THEM FOR THEIR HELP FOR THEIR WELFARE FOR THEIR FAMILIES. LORD THAT YOU WOULD BESTOW BLESSINGS UPON THEM AND GRANT THEM THE WISDOM AND THE DIRECTION AND THE GUIDANCE THAT THEY NEED. TO DO THE WORK THAT YOU CALLED THEM TO DO IN THIS COMMUNITY. WE LOOK TO THEM.

ORDERS. THEY LEAD US. THANK YOU GOD TONIGHT FOR THIS CITY AND I PRAY THIS EVENING, NOT JUST FOR THIS MEETING. BUT I'VE BEEN REFLECTING THIS WEEK OR LAST WEEK AND OVER THE WEEKEND ABOUT HOW TO PRAY. AND LORD, I WANT TO LIFT UP ALL WHO WORK FOR THE CITY OF STEWART. FROM THE OFFICES HERE TO THE MEN ON THE STREETS TO EACH ONE, ESPECIALLY THE POLICE OFFICERS, THE FIRST RESPONDERS. LORD THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. EVERYONE GOD, WHO PUTS THEIR LIFE ON THE LINE WHO SERVED US AND SERVE YOU BY SERVING US. AND SO GOD, I THANK YOU FOR THE PRIVILEGE THAT I HAVE TONIGHT TO STAND HERE AND PRAY AND BELIEVE THAT YOU HEAR AND THAT NOT ONLY DO YOU HEAR YOU ANSWER PRAYER, AND I GIVE YOU PRAISE FOR IT.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD. MM HMM. DO I HAVE ANY COMMENTS FROM ANY OF OUR COMMISSIONERS? IS THAT IT ON THE

[COMMENTS BY CITY COMMISSIONERS ]

[00:05:05]

IF IT'S NOT AS GOOD. WHO KNOWS. SO UM, BUT LIKE I SAID, I DID FEEL BETTER ABOUT TALLAHASSEE THIS YEAR THAN I DID LAST YEAR FIRST. AH, THEM WORKING WITH US SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

COMMISSIONER. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. COMMISSIONER RICH DID YOU HAVE A COMMENT? UM. YES THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. I ALSO WENT TO TALLAHASSEE AND, UH, I AGREE. THE MOOD WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LAST YEAR. OUR GOVERNOR WAS EVERYBODY ASSUMED HE WAS GOING TO BE PRESIDENT, AND THAT CREATED THE UNIQUE ATMOSPHERE. UM I WENT UP AS A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE TREASURE COAST REGION, FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES AND I SIT ON THE UTILITIES AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE. WHICH IS VERY SENSIBLE SINCE WATER IS SO IMPORTANT TO US. IN STUART. OUR PRIMARY FOCUS IS TRYING TO UPDATE THE STORM WATER REGULATION BILL NEEDS TO BE RATIFIED. THE CURRENT RULES GOVERNING STORMWATER REGULATION ARE 20 YEARS OLD, AND MOST OF THE DATA IS ALSO VERY, VERY OLD. AND IT'S JUST NOT WORKING AS YOU ARE ALL AWARE ABOUT EVERY WEEK.

NOW WE'LL HEAR ABOUT SOME REMARKABLE PRECIPITATION EVENT 20 INCHES AND 12 HOURS AND I CAN TELL YOU WHO'S PAYING ATTENTION TO THOSE IS THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY WHO USES THE LATEST DATED AND THE UPDATED MODELING. AND SO, UH, WE FEEL IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE INDUSTRY VIEW US AS DOING THE BEST JOB WE CAN TO PROTECT ALL OF OUR RESOURCES. AND SO WE'RE. WERE I WAS CONFIDENT AND IT'S OKAY. I HAVE SOME DEGREE OF CONFIDENCE THAT THIS CAN TAKE PLACE. THE OTHER THING IS, UM A GOAL OF TALLAHASSEE HAS BEEN TO REDUCE THE POWER OF MUNICIPALITIES.

THEY WANT TO HAVE ALL THE MAKE ALL THE DECISIONS UP IN TALLAHASSEE, AND THERE'S EXPLICIT WAYS THEY CAN DO THAT. WITH RULES AND. BUT THERE'S ANOTHER WAY THEY ANOTHER WAY THEY CAN DO THAT IS BY DE FUNDING US. AND THEY WANT TO PUT THREE AMENDMENTS ON THE BALLOT.

WHICH WOULD ALLOW YOU TO VOTE TO DECREASE YOUR TAXES, WHICH IS VERY APPEALING. OBVIOUSLY. BUT ONE IS THEY WANT TO INCREASE THE MILITARY RAIDS OR ADD ANOTHER $25,000 OF EXEMPTION. TO HOME VALUES. JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA IN THE CITY OF STEWART. 64% OF THE REAL PROPERTY PARCELS. PAY LESS THAN I PAY $100 OR LESS OR YEAR. SO TWO THIRDS OF THE REAL PROPERTY IN THE CITY OF STEWART PAYS $100 OR LESS A YEAR. AH! SO WE'RE OPPOSED TO THAT. AND THE OTHER ONE IS I'M JUST GONNA MENTION TO THE OTHER ONE IS THEY WANT TO, UH RESTRICTING US RESTRICT US FROM CHARGING A FOR YOUR BUSINESS LICENSE RENEWAL, WHICH IS A VERY MODEST FEE. AH BUT IT ACTUALLY REPRESENTS CONSIDERABLE REVENUE FOR THE CITY OF STEWART AND THE OTHER THING IT DOES. IT ALLOWS US TO MAKE SURE THAT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, THOSE BUSINESSES ARE IN COMPLIANCE. THAT THEY'RE OPERATING THAT THEY'RE ADHERING TO THE CODE REQUIREMENTS AND SO AND FUNCTIONS AND VERY MANY EFFECTIVE WAYS. AND WE ARE ALSO OBVIOUSLY OPPOSED TO THAT SO STAY TUNED. HOW MUCH TIME LEFT

[00:10:01]

SURE. YES. GOOD EVENING. IN THE WORDS OF MARJORIE STONEMAN. DOUGLAS BEING NUISANCE WHEN IT COUNTS. DO YOUR PART TO INFORM AND STIMULATE THE PUBLIC TO JOIN YOUR ACTION. BE DEPRESSED.

DISCOURAGED AND DISAPPOINTED IT FAILURE. AND THE DISHEARTENING EFFECTS OF IGNORANCE, GREED.

CORRUPTION AND BAD POLITICS, BUT NEVER GIVE UP. HISTORY DOES NOT REMEMBER THOSE WHO, GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE LEADERS AND REFORMERS FOLLOWED THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE. HISTORY DOES REMEMBER THOSE WHO FOUGHT FOR WHAT WAS GOOD. WENT AGAINST THE GRAIN, NO MATTER HOW THEY WERE CHARACTERIZED AT THE TIME. PEOPLE LIKE MAGGIE HER CHALLAH. WHO OVERCAME THE SEDUCTION OF GOING ALONG TO GET ALONG. SHE DIDN'T CARE ABOUT WHAT DEVELOPERS THOUGHT ABOUT HER OR WHAT THEIR APOLOGISTS WROTE EITHER. AT THE TIME, SHE WAS DISPARAGED BY MANY BUT ASK ALMOST ANY RESIDENT TODAY AND THEY'LL TELL YOU THAT SURE WISH MAGGIE WAS BACK. MAGGIE WAS SPECIAL BECAUSE HER IDENTITY WAS NOT DEFINED BY HER SEAT OR TITLE. SHE DEFINED HER SEAT. AND USED IT TO SERVE ALL OF US, NOT HERSELF. WE LIVE WHERE WE DO BECAUSE OF THAT KIND OF LEADERSHIP. THAT IS THE KIND OF LEADERS WE SHOULD WANT TO BE. BECAUSE CONTRARY TO HOW IMPORTANT WE MAY FEEL AT COCKTAIL PARTIES ARE POSITIONS DO NOT MATTER. EXCEPT THAT WE SHOULD BE JUDGED MORE HARSHLY IF WE HELD THEM AND DID NOT DO AS MUCH GOOD AS WE COULD. WITH THE TIME WE HAD AS THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN MUCH WILL BE REQUIRED. IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO SERVE RESIDENTS. REDEMPTION IS THE BEST PART OF ANY STORY. IF YOU WILL REPRESENT RESIDENTS AND THEIR INTERESTS AT THESE MEETINGS. IF YOU WILL SPEAK THEIR WORDS FROM THIS DIESS. THEY WILL EMBRACE YOU. NOT WITH FORCED SMILES AND HANDSHAKES FOR PROPERLY TOEING THE LINE. BUT WITH ENDLESS THANK YOU BIG HUGS AND THE KIND OF SATISFACTION YOU WILL ONLY FIND BY DOING THE RIGHT THING. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S HARD. SO TONIGHT TO ALL THE RESIDENTS AFTER LAST MEETING. I WANT TO SAY PLEASE NEVER GIVE UP. AND THANK YOU FOR SHOWING UP AND SPEAKING OF INTERESTING. THE CARD. CAN YOU HEAR ME? THANK YOU. UM MADAM MAYOR, I WANT TO PULL ITEM NUMBER FOUR. JUST HAVE THE. EITHER CITY MANAGER OF THE CITY ATTORNEY JUST PROVIDE US WITH THAT DISTINCTION OF EXACTLY WHAT STAGE OF THE PROCESS. WE ARE STATED IN THE THAT PROPOSED RESOLUTION JUST FOR THE PUBLIC BECAUSE IT'S ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR, SO OKAY, JUST WANTED TO PULL IT FOR THAT, THEN THE OTHER THING IS THAT I WANTED TO THANK THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THEIR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE ANNUAL MLK. VINCE AT EVENTS WENT WELL AND I WANTED TO THANK THE CITY FOR PARTICIPATING. UM BOTH IN THEIR SUPPORT. UM IN FINANCING ORGANIZATION AND HELPING AND PARTICIPATING ON THAT DAY, AND WE JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT. WE HAVE HB 102 AND 328. UH, IN A WAY ON THE AGENDA FOR ITEM NUMBER FIVE, AND I KNOW THAT I HAVE RECEIVED LETTERS AFTER WE'VE HAD THE LAST MEETING AND VOTED ON THE PROJECT ON COLORADO. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASKING ABOUT YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON DOWNTOWN? WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO, OR WE GO IN HEADLONG INTO SOMETHING? ARE WE JUST GOING CRAZY, AND PEOPLE MAYBE HAVE FORGOTTEN. OR MAYBE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS IN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OR WHAT'S IN OUR DOWNTOWN PLAN. WHAT'S IN OUR HISTORIC AREA PLAN AND OUR TRAFFIC MOBILITY PLAN IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA, SO I WE JUST HAD A COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING RIGHT BEFORE THIS MEETING. AND I ASKED, UM. IF THERE'S SOMEHOW THAT WE COULD DO SOME KIND OF OPEN HOUSE OR WORKSHOP OR SOMETHING, I DON'T THINK WE'RE DUE FOR ANY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE. BUT I DID TALK TO. I DIDN'T TALK TO HER CITY ATTORNEY, BUT I TALKED TO HER PLANNING DIRECTOR AND ASKED ABOUT THESE, UM, HOUSE,

[00:15:03]

COMMISSIONER CARTER, I CAN TELL YOU THAT, UM, WHAT'S KNOWN AS SENATE BILL? 102 FROM LAST YEAR WAS ACTUALLY UM CODIFIED. AS FLORIDA STATUTE 1 66.4. 151. AND THEREFORE IT HAS BEEN INCORPORATED INTO THE STATE STATUTES. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE AMENDED 328 ACTUALLY HAS LANGUAGE IN IT. THAT SPECIFICALLY SAYS THE, UH. APPROVED PROJECTS UNDER SENATE BILL 102. THAT WOULD BE IN VIOLATION OF OUR COM PLAN. WILL BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN AFTER THE 30 YEARS THAT THEY'RE ENTITLED TO BE THERE. SO THE BIG ISSUE FROM LAST YEAR WAS WHAT HAPPENS AT THE END OF 30 YEARS BECAUSE THEY HAD TO COLLECT THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING RENT FOR 30 YEARS, BUT NOBODY SAID WHAT HAPPENED IN YEAR 31. AND THE INTENTION IS THAT THERE WILL BE CONSIDERED NONCONFORMING USES, AND THEY WILL NOT BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE COMPLAINT BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE COMPLAINT NOW. BUT I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT UP IN THE PUBLIC, SO WE'RE ALL AWARE OF SOME OF THE NUANCES THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH. OKAY?

[COMMENTS BY CITY MANAGER ]

JUJITSU YOU WOULD NEVER CALL YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A BEATING. READ IT FROM MY PHONE. I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU ACTUALLY PARTICIPATED IN IT. HMM BUT IT WAS AN HONOR BECAUSE PARTICIPANTS CAME FROM ALL OVER THE STATE, AND I THINK IT WAS ALL DAY. SATURDAY WAS IT SUNDAY AS WELL. IN ADDITION TO THAT, OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT AS AGAIN RECEIVED THE DISTINGUISHED BUDGET PRESENTATION AWARD, AND I KNOW THAT THEY RECEIVED IT LAST YEAR AND THE YEAR BEFORE AS WELL AND I'VE ASKED THE FINANCE DIRECTOR TO COME. TO OUR FEBRUARY MEETING THE FIRST MEETING IN FEBRUARY. WE HAVE PRESENTATIONS AND I'M GONNA HAVE HIM. DO A PRESENTATION OF OUR ONLINE BUDGET AND HOW THE TRANSPARENCY OF IT AND HOW YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS AND CLICK AROUND AND SEE WHAT'S THERE AND BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE INFORMATION AND LOOK AT AND SHOW YOU GUYS AND ANYBODY ELSE THAT WANTS TO COME. BUT THAT WILL COME TO FOLLOW NEXT MEETING.

[CONSENT CALENDAR]

[4. AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE AN ACCESS AGREEMENT WITH ASHLEY CAPITAL FOR THE OLD CITY LANDFILL (RC): RESOLUTION No. 13-2024; A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO EXECUTE THE BROWNFIELDS SITE ACCESS AGREEMENT WITH TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.]

[00:30:03]

FROM THE ASHLEY CAPITAL ENTITY. ASKING IF WE WOULD BE INTERESTED INTO ENTERING INTO DISCUSSION TO SELL THE LANDFILL TO THEM AT FAIR MARKET VALUE AFTER THEY'VE DONE AN EVALUATION AND DETERMINE IF IT WAS FEASIBLE FOR A BROWNFIELD EVALUATION. I BROUGHT IT BEFORE THE COMMISSION AND THE COMMISSION VOTED AND PASSED A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ASHLEY CAPITAL. TO EXERCISE OF DUE DILIGENCE AND DUE SPECIFIC TESTING OUT ON THE SITE, WHICH INCLUDES MORE THAN JUST PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO BORING. DURING THE COURSE OF THAT THEY'VE REACHED OUT TO ME AND SAID THAT THEY'VE QUALIFIED FOR A GRANT WITH THE TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL AND HAVE ENTERED INTO A RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM TO DO THE FULL EVALUATION OF THE SITE. TREASURE COAST REGIONAL COUNCIL ASKED THE CITY TO AUTHORIZE THEM TO GO ON THE SITE ON BEHALF OF ASHLEY CAPITAL. AND I REVIEWED THE RESOLUTION WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT WE ESSENTIALLY AUTHORIZED ASHLEY CAPITAL GO AND ASHLEY CAPITAL. COULD HAVE AUTHORIZED TRAGIC COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL AS THEIR AGENT. BUT BECAUSE TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL IS A STATE AGENCY. IT HAS A POLICY THAT IT WON'T UM, TAKE THIRD PARTY AUTHORIZATIONS AND THEY NEEDED US TO SIGN THE DOCUMENT, WHICH AUTHORIZES THEM TO GO ONTO THE PROPERTY ON BEHALF OF ASHLEY CAPITAL TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EVALUATION. OF THE BROWN FIELD.

DETERMINATION TO DETERMINE WHAT WOULD BE NECESSARY WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF THE FLORIDA D. E P IN ORDER TO RESTORE THE PROPERTY TO A NO FURTHER ACTION STATUS TO ALLOW FOR ESSENTIALLY LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USE. UM ON THE SITE THE AGENDA ITEM BEFORE THE COMMISSION TONIGHT IS AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THAT ACCESS AGREEMENT SO THAT THEY CAN GO OUT ON THE SITE.

THERE IS NO CONTRACT ENTERED FOR THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY AT ANY GIVEN PRICE. ASHLEY CAPITAL WANTED TO FIRST DO THE EVALUATION, DO THE DUE DILIGENCE AND REPORT BACK TO THE COMMISSION AS TO WHAT IT FOUND AND THEN NEGOTIATE WITH THE COMMISSION ON WHAT WOULD BE A FAIR AND MARKET PRICE FOR THE PURCHASE. AFTER THAT, SO BY VOTING TONIGHT. ALL YOUR VOTING FOR IS THAT ONE OF THE CONSULTANTS IS ALLOWED TO GO ON THE PROPERTY. UM IT'S MY POSITION THAT THE RESOLUTION AUTHORIZED ASHLEY CAPITAL IN THEIR AGENTS AND CONSULTANTS TO PARTICIPATE ANYWAY, SO IT'S A FORMALITY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR MARTEL, AND WE'RE NOT HIRING TRAGICALLY REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL BY SIGNING IT. WE'RE NOT IMPROVING THE WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. THANK YOU COUPLE. IT DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON IT? I'LL JUST MOVE FOR APPROVAL. OKAY? 1320 24 HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON FOUR. DON'T ROLL CALL. MAYOR BRUNER. YES MCDONALD . YES. NICE MAYOR RICH YES. COLLINS COMMISSIONER CLARK? YES?

[5. SUPPORTING SENATE BILL 328 RELATING TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND THE LIVE LOCAL ACT (RC): RESOLUTION No. 12-2024; A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA, SUPPORTING SENATE BILL 328 RELATING TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND IMPROVING UPON THE “LIVE LOCAL ACT,” PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED DURING THE 2023 FLORIDA LEGISLATIVE SESSION; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.]

[00:35:08]

BUT EVERYTHING LEADING UP TO WILLOUGHBY AND THEN THE US ONE CORRIDOR ALL THE WAY SOUTH TO THE VERY END OF STEWART, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MAYBE THE LAST 30 FT. OF WHAT'S KNOWN AS THE GUY, GAY TIME AND PROPERTY OR THE SPS HARDWARE'S OLD SITE ON THE SOUTH END OF TOWN. AND THEN AS IT RELATES TO LIKE THE AREA OF THE CITY, LIKE ALL OF ALL OF EAST OCEAN BOULEVARD AND INCLUDES ALL OF SORES POINT AND WE GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO MANATEE POCKET. ALMOST SO WITH THE EXCEPTION OF JUST THOSE PROPERTIES ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ROOSEVELT BRIDGE. EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE CITY IS STUART IS ESSENTIALLY REMOVED FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF SENATE BILL 102.

IF THIS. SENATE BILL 328 PASSES. AND THAT'S LINES 499 TO 5 OR WEIGHT OF THE BILL. THERE. WHICH ALSO INCLUDES WHAT'S IN THE MASTER PLAN, NOT EVEN WHAT EXISTS CORRECT. WHEN I LOOKED AT IT, IT WAS AIRPORT. IN THE MASTER PLAN, NOT EVEN LEE, DO YOU REMEMBER LOOKING AT THAT? THERE WERE OTHER. YEAH. LET ME PULL THAT UP. IT'S JUST AN INTERESTING POINT. YOU KNOW, UH CAT AND MOUSE. MAYBE THE COUNTY NEEDS TO INCLUDE SOME FUTURE AIRPORTS IN THEIR MASTER PLAN COUNTY HAS DOES HAVE A MASTER PLAN FOR AN AIRPORT? SO YES. BUT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REALLY WANT TO DIG IT UP. I WAS RIGHT THERE. YOU HAVE IT. I GO FOR IT. IT'S ALL RIGHT, I GUESS, UM IT'S SAYING THAT SECTIONS UM DEALING WITH THE COUNTY AND THE CITY DO NOT APPLY IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING. IT'S BASICALLY SENATE BILL 10 TO IT'S AS MR MARTEL SAID IT EARLIER AS CODIFIED IN THE FLORIDA STATUTES 166. 0.04151 SUBSECTION SEVEN. I'M SURE WE'LL ALL REMEMBER THAT.

BUT, UM, THE FIRST, UM SAYS THAT THE CLAWBACK IS WHAT ARE THE EXCEPTION IS A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WITHIN 10,000 FT OF THE NEAREST POINT OF ANY EXISTING AIRPORT RUNWAY. OR PLANNED AIRPORT. RUNWAY IDENTIFIED IN THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, AIRPORT MASTER PLAN AND I BELIEVE THERE'S THREE RUNWAYS AT THE MARTIN COUNTY AIRPORT. SO WHEN YOU TAKE THE 10,000 FT RADIUS, YOU CAN DO IT FROM THREE DIFFERENT POINTS, SO IT KIND OF EVEN COVERS MORE, UM, OF STEWART. UM AND SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE REFERENCING SO AND THAT'S PART OF THIS NEW SENATE BILL 328. AND THINKING ABOUT THIS. THIS THIS WAS MY ONLY CAUTION. OBVIOUSLY THIS WOULD BE AMAZING FOR THE CITY. IF THEY VOTED FOR THIS, RIGHT. THIS WOULD REALLY PROTECT US NOT SO MUCH THE COUNTY BUT FOR US, THIS WOULD BE A HUGE BLESSING. BUT I THINK OF PASCO COUNTY, WHO IS CURRENTLY SUING OVER SB 102, AND I JUST WONDER. THAT. WHAT THE UPSIDE WOULD BE HERE. I'M SURE TOBY AND GAIL ALL APPRECIATE US BEING IN SUPPORT OF WHAT THEY'RE DOING, BUT MY ASSUMPTION WOULD BE THEY'RE GOING TO VOTE HOW THEY'RE GOING TO VOTE. UM, BUT IF WE DO AS A BOARD OFFICIALLY THROUGH RESOLUTION EFFECTIVELY SUPPORT SB 12 AND BY SUPPORTING. WE BE HAMSTRINGING OURSELVES.

FROM A FUTURE COMMISSION. YOU KNOW, SUING OVER OVER THIS KIND OF AN ISSUE LIKE PASCO IS THAT WOULD BE MY ONLY THOUGHT. UM EVERYTHING ELSE IS AMAZING HERE, BUT JUST CRITICALLY LOOKING AT IT WITH MY ONLY CONCERN. I DON'T THINK IT HOLDS. KEEP THIS FROM SUING EVER OVER AFFORDED STATUE.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE STANDING TO SUE, BUT BUT DOES IT LOOK BAD, THOUGH, IF WE SUPPORTED IT, AND THEN WE'RE SUING? I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A LEGAL OPINION OVERBOARD. OH, YEAH. IT'S MORE OF A POLICY. DO YOU THINK IT LOOKS BAD? OR DO YOU THINK IT LOOKS GOOD? YOU COULD LOOK AT THE LANGUAGE OF THE RESOLUTION. AND IF YOU WANTED TO ADD CLARIFY CLARIFYING LANGUAGE TO THE RESOLUTION TO THE REASON, WHEREAS CLAUSES ARE IN RESOLUTIONS ARE TO PROVIDE THE

[00:40:04]

[00:45:01]

AS WITH THE CITY APPROVALS, THERE'S NO STATE ACCOUNTABILITY. THERE'S NOBODY AT THE STATE MONITORING WHAT'S BEING BUILT UNDER THE GUISE OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING. AND THERE'S STILL NOBODY THAT CITY OR COUNTY LEVEL WHO WILL BE TRACKING ANYTHING THAT GETS APPROVED USING THE SENATE BILL AS RATIONALE FOR BUILDING IF YOU'RE GOING TO USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SAY YOU WERE TAKING A STAND TO PROTECT HOME RULE, IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU PURSUED SOMETHING TRULY MEANINGFUL WITH THE SAME GUSTO TO TRULY HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK AT WHAT JACKSONVILLE IS DOING WITH CORNER LOT. IT'S A GREAT EXAMPLE AS TO HOW TO ACCOMPLISH A REASONABLE, FEASIBLE AND SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP. SO WHILE I APPRECIATE WHAT THIS RESOLUTION IS GOING TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH, IT MAY BE A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. IT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR YOUR CONSTITUENTS. THANK YOU, ROBERT. OKAY, CAN WE HAVE A REAL CALL? MAYOR RICH. YES COMMISSIONER CLARK? YES COLLINS. COMMISSIONER MCDONALD. YES.

BRUNER? YES. ALL RIGHT. MOVE ON TO SIX. HC A PRE STANDING. THIS IS OUR ORDINANCE. SECOND READING

THE REQUEST NUMBER FOUR IS THE REMOVAL OF THE CITY OWNED ON STREET PARKING SPACE TO ALLOW ACCESS TO THE SIDE ALONG SOUTH COLORADO AVENUE AND FOR FIRE TRUCK ACCESS. THIS IS CURRENTLY HOW THE SITE PLAN IS SITUATED. AS YOU CAN SEE, COLORADO'S DOWN THERE, UM, WHERE YOU SEE OUR FIRE TRUCK? THAT'S WHERE THEIR PROPOSED TO PARK UM THEY NEED THAT FOR ACCESS. THERE IS NO OTHER LOCATION, TOO. TO BE ABLE TO MANEUVER OUR APPARATUS THROUGH THIS SITE IF THERE WAS A FIRE UM SO THERE THE SPACE THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT IS TO REMOVE IS RIGHT WHERE THE FIRE TRUCKS IS TODAY OR WHERE IT IS IN THE PICTURE. AND THEY ALSO ARE SHIFTING THE CURB CUT AT THAT AREA SO THEY CAN GAIN ACCESS INTO THE SITE. THESE ARE FEW PROPOSED ELEVATIONS. UM THAT YOU CAN SEE THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH THE SITE PLAN PROCESS AND WE'RE UNDER THE URBAN DISTRICT AND THEY'VE MET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS MEETING THE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS FOR THE LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS. AGAIN THIS IS THIS IS THE PROPOSED ARTWORK. THIS WILL BE COMING BACK TO THE CRB BOARD FOR FINAL APPROVAL IF THE BORDER IS APPROVED THIS PROJECT. THIS IS A RADIUS MAP SHOWING THAT 33 PUBLIC NOTICES LETTERS FROM MAIL TO PROPERTY OWNERS LOCATED WITHIN 300 FT. OF THIS SUBJECT PROPERTY. THE CITY RECEIVED 16 LETTERS DURING THE CRB PROCESS IN FAVOR AND I SIGNED PETITION WAS RECEIVED AFTER THE CRB WITH 59 SIGNATURES, NOT IN FAVOR. ON NOVEMBER 7TH 2023, THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BOARD, HOW THE PUBLIC HEARING AND DISCUSS THE REZONING TO URBAN PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PETITION SITE PLAN APPLICATION FOR THE PROPOSED SITE. THE BOARD VOTED 3 TO 1, WITH TWO BOARD MEMBERS BEING ABSENT FROM THE VOTE AND FLORIDA RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO THE CITY COMMISSION, WITH SUGGESTED CONDITIONS TO BE ADDED NUMBER ONE WHEN THE RESTAURANT IS OPEN. THE VALLEY OPERATES IN THE EVENING. AND TO THERE BE NO OUTDOOR MUSIC. THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. THE APPLICANT DOES HAVE A SMALL PRESENTATION. AS WELL. PETITIONER COME FORWARD. GOOD EVENING COMMISSION. MY NAME IS NICK SCHROTH. REPRESENTATIVE OF THE AFRICAN TONIGHT WITH MIKE MCCARTY. DR SAM BACK AND QUESTIONING BACKS FAMILY, UM MY INVOLVEMENT IN THIS PROPERTY IS KIND OF ARE NOT IN KEEPING WITH WHAT OUR FIRM USUALLY DOES. BUT, UM WE'VE WORKED WITH DR SAM BACK ON VARIOUS REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS OVER THE YEARS, AND SO WHEN HIS MOTHER WAS PLANNING TO SELL THIS PROPERTY AND RETIRE HE CALLED ME AND SAID, HEY, YOU KNOW I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY BUY THIS HOUSE. IT'S BEEN IN OUR FAMILY FOR A WHILE, AND I'D LIKE TO KEEP IT IN OUR FAMILY. SO BUT WHAT DO I? WHAT CAN I DO WITH THIS? AND THE CONVERSATION WAS PRETTY LENGTHY ONE. YOU KNOW, MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS THAT YOU KNOW, TALKED ABOUT BUILDING CONDOS AND BURGOS AND VARIOUS OTHER THINGS, BUT YOU KNOW, IT ALL KIND OF CAME BACK TO, YOU KNOW, PRESERVING WHAT'S THERE AND KEEPING A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT'S THERE AND SO THE RESTAURANT IDEA WAS WAS REALLY WHERE WE LANDED, AND WE BROUGHT MIKE ONBOARD BEING A LOCAL PLANNER BEING INVOLVED DOWNTOWN. YOU KNOW HIS SKILLS AND HELPING US CRAFT PLANET THAT, YOU KNOW.

BITS AND WORKS IS WAS PART OF THE PART OF THE TEAM WAS MIKE HAS PREPARED A PRESENTATION TONIGHT. I THINK THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT ARE ORIGINAL APPLICATION. UM YOU KNOW, REQUESTED THAT WE'VE, UH YOU KNOW, SINCE HER FROM THE PUBLIC ON IT, WE'RE HERE TO, YOU KNOW, TALK ABOUT AND FIND SOME COMMON GROUND AND WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, ALTERNATE OVER TO MIKE AND YOU KNOW, WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS. ONCE HE GETS THROUGH HIS, UM HIS, UH OKAY? GOOD EVENING. MEMBERS OF THE. INSURANCE CITY COUNCIL. PLEASURE TO BE HERE, MIKE MCCARTHY, MCCARTHY AND ASSOCIATES, LAND PLANNING AND DESIGN. OFFICE LOCATED 309 SOUTHEAST OSCEOLA STREET, SUITE ONE OF FOUR. HERE THIS EVENING TO TALK ABOUT 101 COLORADO AVENUE. HE. DID IN FACT FILE THE APPROPRIATE AFFIDAVIT ATTESTING TO NOTIFICATION. OUT WITH THE MAIL OUTS STAFF INDICATED 33 MAIL OUTS WERE SENT OUT, UM, AS WELL AS THE SIGN WAS POSTED ON SITE. WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS A VERY SMALL EXISTING HOUSE THAT WAS BUILT IN 1958. UH, THIS IS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN. ON THE HOUSE WAS ROUGHLY 1200 SQUARE FEET. AND WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING,

[01:15:09]

[01:20:05]

ELEMENT OF THE RESTAURANT. THIS IS GIVES YOU SOME ELEVATION PERSPECTIVE. SO HERE YOU CAN KIND OF SEE AS A SECTION. WHAT THESE TERRORISTS IS LOOK LIKE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE GREAT CHANGE. FROM YOU KNOW? SOUTH TO NORTH NORTH THINGS DOWN HERE WHERE THE WATER'S GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. ONE STORY VERY LOW. IN KEEPING. WE TRIED TO REMAIN COGNIZANT OF HUMAN SCALE WE DIDN'T WANT TO DO. 234 STORY TOWERING BUILDING. UM, AND THE FACT YOU KNOW VIEWS OF SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS SOUTH SUCH AS THE END. GET THOSE ARE SOME MORE PERSPECTIVES. I WOULD LIKE TO KIND OF GO BACK A LITTLE BIT. AND TALK ABOUT PARKING, SO WE INITIALLY SUBMITTED THIS APPLICATION. WE SUBMITTED FOR PRE APPLICATION 2002. START WORKING ON THE PROJECT IN 2001, SO WE'RE OVER TWO YEARS IN ON THIS PROJECT. AH! THAT POINT TIME, KEV FREEMAN WAS THE DIRECTOR 2020 2020. DID I SAY. 2002 I'M SORRY, 2022. EXCUSE ME. APOLOGIZE CAN'T COUNT. SO. FAST FORWARD. HERE WE ARE, UM OUR INITIAL SUBMITTAL INDICATED, UH, UTILIZING VALET.

OKAY, SO. WE HAD OUR CRV MEETING. AND THAT WAS ON NOVEMBER. RIGHT HERE. NOVEMBER, 7TH. ALRIGHT AT THE CRV MEETING. WE HAD AN OVERWHELMING PUBLIC INPUT. THAT HAD SOME CONCERNS WITH THIS PROJECT, SO WE WENT BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD. WE DECIDED TO HOLD A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING. WE INVITED ALL OF THE RESIDENTS ALONG SEMINOLE. AND NOTIFIED THEM THAT WE'VE BEEN HOLDING A MEETING. AND YOU HELD THE MEETING ON DECEMBER 13TH AS YOU SEE THERE, WHERE WE GAVE THE SAME PRESENTATION TRYING TO UNDERSTAND EVERYBODY'S CONCERNS. THERE WAS OVERWHELMING CONSENSUS. AFTER 45 MINUTES OF DISCUSSION AND OPEN DIALOGUE. THAT VALID. THE BALLET WAS THE ISSUE AND SO STAFF PRESENTED THAT IN IN THEIR PRESENTATION. AND THAT WAS OUR INITIAL PROPOSAL AT THAT POINT. GIVEN THE INPUT FROM THE NEIGHBORS. WE WENT BACK AND SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU DON'T WANT BALLET. WE DON'T WANT VALET, EITHER. WE HAD TO DEMONSTRATE A FORM OF COMPLIANCE TO PARKING. AND ENDED UP THAT THEY WERE FINE WITH NO VALET, AND SO WE'RE FINE WITH NO DOUBT. AND WE BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN COME WHEN YOU COME INTO DOWNTOWN STUART AND WHETHER YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO THE GAFFORD. OR YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO THE RIVER WALK. AND THEN MAYBE GET SOME ICE CREAM AND KILL ONES. PARK ORGANICALLY IN DOWNTOWN AND YOU FIND THE SPACE PARK YOU WALK. AND SO TO THINK THAT WE HAVE TO CREATE ALL OF THIS ADDITIONAL PARKING REALLY JUST ISN'T TRUE. THAT'S NOT HOW WE FUNCTION IN DOWNTOWN. THE ONLY WAY WE WALKED AWAY FROM THAT MEANING, AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE DID. WE CAME BACK TO THE CITY. AND THAT WAS STAFF MET WITH YOU. WE CHANGED OUR PROPOSAL ACCORDINGLY TO MEET THE NEIGHBORS NEEDS. YOU'RE CONCERNED, SO WE ARE NO LONGER PROPOSING VALET. UM AND WE ARE REQUESTING AN EXEMPTION TO THE PARTNER. UM. I WILL SAY THAT WE DO HAVE MULTIPLE LETTERS OF SUPPORT. HERE'S ONE OF THEM.

THIS IS FROM THE STEWART MAINSTREAM, PRESENTED THE STUART MAIN STREET. AND WE RECEIVED A LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM THEM. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO NOTE THAT ALL OF THESE ARE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE CITY OF STEWART'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. ALL RIGHT. THERE ARE 23. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. THIS PROJECT SATISFIES URBAN INFILL REDEVELOPMENT. CREATION. OF

[01:25:03]

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. UM SO I BROUGHT MY FAMILY HERE, UM, AGAIN HAVE GROWN UP IN COUNTY.

GRADUATED. AS WE DISCUSSED IN 1993. UM AND THIS. THIS PROBABLY HAS BEEN WITH MY FAMILY SINCE 1988. PUT THE BRAKES SPRINKLER SYSTEM AND NOT CUT THE LAWN. I'VE SHOULDN'T HEDGES UM AND, UH, YOU KNOW, SO IT HAS THIS PROPERTY MEANS A LOT. I'VE SEEN FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS ON THE LAW. SO IT'S A FANTASTIC PROPERTY. YOU KNOW MY KIDS, WE'VE GONE UP. AND SO YOU KNOW, WHEN NICK AND I STARTED TALKING ABOUT PUTTING THIS PROJECT TOGETHER AND I PURCHASE PROPERTY FROM A FAMILY FROM MY MOM. UM WE HAD A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS. YOU KNOW, I LIKE THE RESTAURANT. I IDEA THE BEST. BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO SEE ANOTHER FOUR STORY BUILDING GO UP. AND I THOUGHT THAT THE PUBLIC WOULD WOULD ENJOY A RESTAURANT. I WOULD ENJOY A RESTAURANT. SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT MOVING FORWARD. IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS AND EXCITED ABOUT GETTING THIS MOVING FORWARD AND APPRECIATE TIME. SHIP PART I HAVE A LOT, BUT I JUST WANT TO I ASKED THEM SO THAT YOU KNOW, THE PUBLIC KNOWS WHAT WE USE WHEN WE DELIBERATE AND TALK ABOUT THESE THINGS, SO THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO BE ALL OVER THE ALL OVER THE PLACE. UM, FIRST JUSTIN LOOKING AT THIS PROJECT ON A GENERAL BASIS. IT WOULD BE WHAT WE CONSIDER AH! BECAUSE THE PLANNER'S DREAM OR PLANNER'S NIGHTMARE, WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR URBAN IN FILL. WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO. BUT THEN YOU LOOK AT THINGS LIKE PARKING AND ACCESS AND LOCATION.

AND SO THERE ARE LOTS OF THINGS TO CONSIDER, UH, WITH THIS PROJECT. SO MY, UM AH! TWO BIG THINGS IS. GOING FROM URBAN WATERFRONT URBAN P U D, WHICH ALLOWS US TO PUT SOME REQUIREMENTS ON THEM. MAYBE POSSIBLY GET THAT LAND FOR THE, UM YOU SHOWED THAT THAT THING WITH THE PROPERTY IS ON THE NORTH SIDE THAT GAVE THE BROAD WALK AREA AND THAT THAT WOULD BE A PART OF THE ACQUISITION OF A PLAN. TO CONTINUE A BOARDWALK, MAYBE ALL THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL OR AS FAR AS WE CAN GO ON DOWN TO MR GEARS, PROPERTY OR SOMEWHERE IN THAT AIR WHEREVER WE ARE ALONG, UM, SEMINAL STREET AREA TO HELP WITH OUR PLANS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE. FOR THAT AREA. BUT SO THE IDEA IS UH, WHAT'S IN THERE? AND I WANTED YOU IF YOU DON'T. MAYBE WHEN YOU FIND IT AND IT MIGHT IT IT PROBABLY IT WASN'T YOUR REPORT. BUT IF YOU COULD JUST LIST FOR THE PUBLIC WHAT ARE THE ACTUAL USES? THAT CAN HAPPEN ON THIS 0.23 ACRES ON THE URBAN WATERFRONT? AND THEN, OF COURSE, API UD WOULD BE RESTRICTED IF IT WERE EVER APPROVED. TO WHATEVER IT IS THAT WE'RE TELLING THEM THIS TIME FRAME APPROVAL SCHEDULE AS WELL AS WHATEVER IT IS THAT THEY AND US AGREED TO DO ON THAT PROPERTY UNDER THE P U D AGREEMENT, SO THAT WOULD BE THE P U D BUT ON THE URBAN WATERFRONT ON THE 0.23 ACRE PROPERTY THAT WAS USED FOR, UM

[01:30:04]

BUT I JUST WANT TO ASK THIS QUESTION. UM WHEN THE CREEK SIDE WAS A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO THE OTHER BUILDINGS THAT WERE PART OF AN EXISTING P U D, WHERE THEY COULD GET THAT PARKING EXCHANGE WITH THAT DEVELOPMENT ON THE OTHER SIDE. IN THIS INSTANCE THERE WAS SOME TALK ABOUT IF THERE WAS BALLET. MAYBE THERE COULD BE THE IDEA OF PARKING DOWN. AH I GUESS IT'S PROBABLY THE BUILDING WERE LISA BAZZAZ OFFICES OR SOME MEDICAL BUILDING WAS MENTIONED ON THERE. AND I'M NOT SURE IF ANYBODY IF, IF EVER THAT WOULD COULD BE ALLOWED UNDER OUR CODE IF THERE WAS AN IDEA OF THEM MAKING AN ARRANGEMENT TO HAVE SOMETHING IF THEY STILL HAD TO PROVIDE FOR FLAT PARKING, JUST BRINGING THAT UP. THE OTHER THING IS THAT AGAIN, PARKING IS ALWAYS THE BIG THING. AND SO THEY HAVE COME AND SAID, LET'S BE LIKE THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE OLD HISTORIC AREA AND THOSE WHO WERE APPROVED JUST NORTH OF THAT AREA FOR PARKING EXAM AND LET PEOPLE PARK WHETHER IT'S A QANTAS PARKER AT THE COURTHOUSE OR LONGEST SOCIAL BOULEVARD AND FIND THEIR WAY TO THE RESTAURANT. IF THERE WERE APPROVED FOR THAT. SO THAT'S WITH WITH IT. I WANTED TO CONFIRM IF THE STAFF REPORT AND WHAT THE DEVELOPERS SAYING WITH REGARD TO DO YOU STILL NEED TO HAVE VALET AT NIGHT. IF THIS DEVELOPMENT WE'RE GOING TO BE IN THE YOU STILL NEED TO HAVE VALET, OR IS IT COMPLETELY OPEN AND PEOPLE JUST GET IN? OR VALET WOULD BE ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT YOU YOU DO AND HAVE PEOPLE RUN AROUND THE BLOCK ON THIS 2 TO 1 WAY, PIERS. WOULD YOU STILL NEED VALET PARK IN WE ARE NOT PROPOSING VALET AT THIS POINT.

OKAY ALRIGHT. SO THAT'S JUST HOW THE I'M JUST TRYING TO DISTINGUISH WHAT HAPPENED IN THE STAFF REPORT. SO IF WE HAVE PARKING EXEMPT AND, UM. THEY'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE THEIR THEIR, UM HANDICAPPED PARKING ON SITE. YES THEY DO HAVE ONE PARKING ON SITE FOR HANDICAPPED, OKAY? AND, UM AH! WE ALSO HAVE PEOPLE WHO HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG. UH, SEMINOLES. WE HAVE THOSE CONDOS.

I THINK SOMEBODY MENTIONED THAT RECENTLY. UM. THOSE PEOPLE. I THINK THEY PROVIDED THEIR OWN PARKING AT THOSE CONDOS. MY THING IS WHATEVER WE DECIDE TO DO AS A COMMISSIONER, I KNOW THAT THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS ARE GOING TO BE GIVEN THEIR INPUT. WE HAVE TO DECIDE IF WE AGREE WITH THIS PROJECT IN TERMS OF THIS EXEMPTION FOR PARKING ALL WE GONNA GO WITH DEVELOPMENTS, WHETHER IN THIS AREA OR IN AREAS THAT DID NOT HAVE PARKING EXEMPT IN THE DOWNTOWN. ARE WE GONNA GO ON AN INCREMENTAL BASIS, AND EACH TIME SOMEBODY COMES IN, WE DO SOMETHING, WHETHER WE ARE FOR OR AGAINST OR DO WE NEED TO COME UP WITH SOME KIND OF A PLAN TO DECIDE HOW WE'RE GOING TO TRANSITION? AND OF COURSE, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO KNOW WHICH IT MIGHT COME TO IF WE HAVE THAT SATURATION LEVEL IS HOW CLOSE WOULD WE HAVE A PARKING GARAGE? I KNOW THAT WE'RE SUGGESTING A PARKING GARAGE IN THE VICINITY OF A PROPOSED, UM, BRIGHT LINE STATION IF THAT EVER CAME TO FRUITION, BUT THE IDEA IS THAT I LIKE HAVING THINGS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY, AND I LIKE HAVING INFILL DEVELOPMENT. BUT I KNOW THAT SOMETIMES AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOUR MARKETING TECHNIQUES. IF PEOPLE WOULD SAY WELL, IF IT IF THERE'S NO PARKING AVAILABLE DOWNTOWN, MAYBE I WON'T GO TO THIS RESTAURANT. I WON'T GO TO THAT PLACE. WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT PATTERN IN DOWNTOWN. WE STILL SEE PEOPLE COMING TO ALL THE PLACES AND EVERYBODY GETS EQUAL PLAY IN THEIR BUSINESS OR WHEN THERE'S A FEAR OF FESTIVAL, BUT WE STILL DO HAVE A PARKING CRUNCH IN OUR DOWNTOWN AREA. UM IF THERE'S NOTHING WITH THE VALET, THEN THAT'S PROBABLY

[01:35:01]

AND I DON'T KNOW. I DIDN'T LOOK AT THE HISTORIC UM IDEAS AND I DIDN'T TALK TO OUR CITY ATTORNEY ABOUT, UH, ANYTHING LIKE THAT. BUT MAYBE IF THERE'S SOMETHING IF IT WERE EVER APPROVED TONIGHT THAT THERE COULD BE SOMETHING BUILT INTO IT TO AT LEAST CREATE OUR RE VITALIZED SOME HISTORIC FEATURE IN AND IN KEEPING WITH PROBABLY SOME OF THOSE HOMES ACROSS THE STREET. I KNOW THAT SOME OF THOSE ARE LIKE THE CLIFTON'S HOUSE HAS LIKE LITTLE IN STORY INSIDE, AND THEY HAVE DIFFERENT LITTLE ROOMS THAT CREATE THE WINDOWS AND THE YOU KNOW, JUST TO HAVE A LOOK. SO IT'S NOT. SO I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE EXISTING HOUSE IS VERY SMALL AND MOST OF THE INTERIOR SPACE BECOMES KITCHEN OR BATHROOM. AND YOU'RE GONNA BUILD SOME SOME NEW SPACE, THOUGH NOT NOT ENCLOSED. WE'RE ADDING ON 200 SQUARE FEET, THAT'S ALL ALL FOR SERVICE NEEDS FOR THE RESTAURANT. REALLY TOUGH , UH, PROGRAM TO FIT INTO THE SMALL RESIDENTS. SO WHAT WE ARE DOING IS YOU KNOW WE'RE WORKING WITH THE EXISTING HOUSE, BUT THE COVERED DINING TERRORISTS. IT'S EXPOSED STRUCTURE, SO WE ARE ADDING INTEREST THROUGH THE FRAMING MEMBERS THAT IT'S KIND OF A BEAUTIFUL LOOK AS OPPOSED TO GROUP TRUST IS WE HAVE A FLAT CEILING WITH SOME TREATMENT AND THIS WILL BE THIS WILL HAVE SOME INTEREST AND THAT WAS AS MUCH AS WE COULD OFFER AS WELL AS ADDING SOME. I THINK, WRITING SOME STONE CLADDING ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE HOUSE WHERE WE COULD JUST WE DIDN'T WANNA. WE WANT IT TO BE ELEGANT, SO WE DON'T OVERWHELM IT BECAUSE IT'S AGAIN. IT'S A SMALL STRUCTURE. SO WE HAD A HINT HERE AND HIT THERE.

OKAY SO LONG AS THE STRUCTURE CARE, LIFT UP MR TROUGH, AND I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, MR MCCARTHY. SORRY, NICK SHROVE FOR THE RECORD, UM THE PUBLIC RTC TODAY HAS NOT. THAT'S NOT THE END GAME PUBLIC GUARD AND I KNOW THAT THE CRV LEVEL THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT PUBLIC GARDEN, THE CITY BEING MORE THAN SELFISH STATUES. SO, UM YEAH, COMMISSIONER PARK. YOUR POINT'S WELL TAKEN, AND I THINK WE CAN YOU KNOW? FIND A WAY TO INCORPORATE SOMETHING INTO THAT PUBLIC GUARD. UM AS AS JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT MIGHT, YOU KNOW, DRAW SOME HISTORY AND THE GOAL OF THE PROJECT WAS TO KEEP THE ACQUAINTANCE OF THE EXISTING STRUCTURE AND YOU KNOW TO WHATEVER EFFECT WE CAN DO THAT WITH FINISHES. AND STUFF. YOU KNOW THAT. THE OUTSIDE IS BEING PRESENTED TO YOU TODAY. THE CONCEPT WILL COME WITH TIME. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I THINK WE'D BE FOOLISH NOT TO INCLUDE YOU KNOW SOMETHING IN THAT? YOU KNOW INSIDE THAT INCLUDES A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY OF SKILLS. THANK YOU. MR MCCARTHY MAY CONTINUE, MADAM MAYOR. SO UM, RIGHT BEHIND THAT PROPOSED PUBLIC ART, THE DRIVEWAY. I THINK WHAT I MET WITH YOU ASK YOU HOW MANY, UM, YOU KNOW WHETHER IT'S YOU HAVE THE FIRE TRUCK SHOWING HOW A PARKING SPACE LOOKS. BUT WHEN YOU HAVE A GARBAGE TRUCK OR A BUDWEISER BEER OR EARNEST AND PRODUCE WHATEVER THAT TRUCK IS THAT DELIVERY VEHICLE. BECAUSE THEY HOLD UP TRAFFIC NOW ON FLAGLER AND OSCEOLA AND EVERY OTHER PLACE THAT HAS TO DELIVER TO A DOWNTOWN BUSINESS. HOW DOES IT LOOK ON THAT DRIVEWAY WHEN YOU HAVE TO COME IN FROM COLORADO AND GO BACK UP THROUGH SEMINOLE TO HOLD A DELIVERY TRUCKS? SO WE THANK YOU, MIKE MCCARTHY FOR THE RECORD. SO WE HAD TO DO AN AUTO TURN. UM MOVEMENT THROUGH HERE. WITH WITH TRUCKS. UM. BOTH FOR PUBLIC WORKS AND FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. WHICH ARE I THINK THEY'RE LIKE 48 OR SOMETHING. REMEMBER CORRECTLY, UM AND THEY DID THEY DO WORK ON THIS. ON THIS RADIUS HERE. AND THEN THE FIRE TRUCK, LIKE LIKE SHOWN HERE ON THIS EXHIBIT. SITS OUT HERE. SO YES, WE DO. WE DO ADEQUATELY PROVIDE FOR CIRCULATION OF THOSE TYPES OF VEHICLES WHEN SOMETHING IS TURNING INTO INTO THAT BUILDING, THEY'RE NOT STICKING

[01:40:05]

UM, ACROSS, YOU KNOW. WHAT WOULD BE THIS PROPERTY IS REPAIRING RIGHTS, HOWEVER. AH! RESERVING THE RIGHT TO EXTEND A DOCK FOR THIS PROPERTY AS WELL. POSSIBLY SO. WOLF WILL WORK OUT THAT LANGUAGE. BELIEVE WE DISCUSSED THAT WITH THE CITY MANAGER AT SOME POINT. AND THEN BETWEEN THE STAFF REPORT IN YOUR REPORT. OR MAYBE OUR CONVERSATION. IS IT 150 OR 151 AS THE PROPOSED CAPACITY 151 50. UH IF I WAS IRVING MAYOR, IF I CAN THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE COMMISSIONER MCDONALD'S THANK YOU VERY MUCH. UH SINCE WE'VE GOT THE SCREEN UP HERE, SO IN THE INITIAL APPLICATION. YOU HAD THE TRAFFIC. UH COMING IN FROM COLORADO EXITING ON THE SEMINAL BUT NOW WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING IS THE ANY THE ANY TRAFFIC DRIVING THROUGH AND ENTER FROM SEMINAL AND EXIT ON COLORADO'S THAT'S CORRECT. THAT'S CORRECT, SIR. WOULD WOULD THE. WOULD THE, UH UM GARBAGE TRUCK BE ENTERING THE SAME WAY OR THE GARBAGE TRUCK HAVE TO GO. THE OTHER WAY TO GET THE GARBAGE TRUCK WOULD ENTER OFF OF COLORADO AND TURN INTO IT. IT'S COMMONPLACE BECAUSE IT'S SO YEAH, BUT MY QUESTION IS WHEN THERE'S A CAR PARKED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF COLORADO, WHO WILL STILL BUILD TO MAKE THE TURN IN ONE OF THOSE PARKING SPACES THERE. AND THE OTHER ON THE NORTH, AND THE WOULD BE ACTUALLY THE WEST SIDE OF COLORADO. CAUSE COLORADO RUNS NORTH AND SOUTH SO YES, YES, THOSE TURNING RADIUS IS DO WORK. THOSE THEY DO WORK. YES, OKAY. YEAH, RIGHT THERE.

THOSE IF THERE'S CARS PARKED THERE, THE GARBAGE TRUCK WILL BE ABLE TO OKAY, MAKE IT INTO THE TURN NOW, ARE YOU GONNA HAVE SIGNAGE THERE SO THAT BECAUSE ONE OF CORRECT YES, YES. OKAY SO YOU'RE GONNA HAVE DECIDED THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS JUST COUPLE OF CONDITIONS. UM IF I WERE TO VOTE FOR THIS, IT WOULD BE A COUPLE OF CONDITIONS I WOULD NEED ONE IS AN ABSOLUTE CONDITION OF NO BALLET. HMM. UM BECAUSE WE'VE CERTAINLY HEARD FROM THE NEIGHBORS ON THAT. MHM ALSO, UH, REGARDING DISREGARDING THE, UH PARKING AT SEA. NO VALET . LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE HERE LIMITING THE NUMBER OF SEATS 250. HMM. LIMITING THE SQUARE FOOTAGE TO I THINK THE PROPOSED SQUARE FOOTAGE OF WAS IT, 1500. I BELIEVE SO I'D HAVE TO REFER WHATEVER THE EXACT SQUARE FOOTAGE IS ALSO THAT THE COVERED AREA THAT'S NOT PART OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE JUST TO COVER DEREK DOES NOT GETTING CLOSED. BECAUSE THEY'RE SEEING IT INCLUDES I'VE SEEN OTHER RESTAURANTS COME

[01:45:06]

[01:50:04]

ALRIGHT. I UNDERSTAND THE INTENT OF WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO, AND I DO AGREE WITH IT, HOWEVER RESPECTFULLY, IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE FOR A PRIVATE ENTITY TO GO SECURE PARKING. UNDER LEASE, WHICH WE WOULD THEN BE LIABLE FOR TWO THEN GIVE IT TO THE CITY. FOR PUBLIC USE. THE APPROPRIATE THING IS FOR YOU TO INSTRUCT STAFF TO SAY, GO SECURE THAT PARKING UNDER A LEASE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY. AND YOU CAN GHOST PUT SIGNAGE UP AND SAY PUBLIC COLLEGE PUBLIC PARKING.

YOU CAN LEASE IT FROM THOSE PRIVATE ENTITIES WAS NOT APPROPRIATE APPROPRIATE FOR US.

WE'RE NOT ENOUGH POSITION TO DO THAT. DO YOU HAVE A COMMENT ON THAT? LEAGUE OR THAT DOES EXPOSE THEM. WE HAVE SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY, WHICH PROTECTS US. I AND MAYBE A HAPPY MEDIUM WAS THAT THEY STILL LEASED THE PARKING AND MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO THEIR CLIENTELE OR PAY THE CITY TO COST THE LEAST. FOR THAT. OKAY? HMM THIS IS THE FIRST HEARING SO WE CAN EXPLORE WHAT OPTIONS MAY BE AVAILABLE THERE. THOSE ARE MY ONLY COMMENTS. THANK YOU, MADAM. THERE.

PROVINCE. I WOULD LIKE TO RESERVE MINE UNTIL AFTER PUBLIC COMMENT. LOOKING HERE FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD. ALL RIGHT BEFORE YOU GO TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. CAN I ASK UM, I THINK IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN HERE IF THEY IF THEY HAD TO PROVIDE THOSE PARKING SPACES. IS IT THE 46 OR IS IT MORE? IF THEY HAD TO PROVIDE ACTUAL PARKING. WHAT WAS THAT NUMBER WAS 46. THEY WERE GOING TO PROVIDE 72. OKAY, SO THEY TRY TO DO DOUBLE ALRIGHT, FINE. THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM THANK YOU. MR COLLINS IS GOING TO HOLD AND I WILL HOLD MY COMMENTS ALSO. SO WE WILL, UH.

NOW HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC. WE HAVE. MANY MANY PEOPLE HERE TO SPEAK TODAY, SO I'LL START WITH DENNIS STILLMAN. MR STILLMAN. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, MADAM. CHAIR COMMISSIONERS SKILLMAN, MY WIFE AND I UM, RESIDE AT 101 SOUTHEAST SEVEN OR PROPERTY THAT'S BEEN IN MY FAMILY SINCE 1939. AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN A SERVICE ALLEY DESPITE WHAT MR MCCARTHY SAYS. I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS PROPOSAL TO BE CONSIDERED FROM THE REQUESTER HAS YET TO STATE WHAT SORT OF RESTAURANT HE IS PROPOSING. HE STATES WILL BE HIGH END BUT WHAT'S THAT THEME THE STUART REALLY NEED ANOTHER HIGH END RESTAURANT, ESPECIALLY AFTER THE LOSS OF THE HUNGER, THE PELICAN AND MULLIGANS. ARE WE GETTING A HIGH END MICKEY D'S ANOTHER WATERFRONT OR A HIGH END HOOTERS? WE DON'T KNOW. COULD WE BE BACK? ACTUALLY, COULD WE BE REACHING A POINT? WITH THE PROLIFERATION OF RESTAURANTS. WILL BECOME A DETRIMENT TO ALL. THE 150 SEATS MENTIONED SEEMS TO BE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE REQUIREMENTS FOR OBTAINING THE POOR COPS SRX OR SFX. SOME LIGHTS THIS RELATIONS REQUIRES 51% OF REVENUE BE DERIVED FROM FOOD SALES. I FIND THIS EXTREMELY UNLIKELY GIVEN THE 50 BY 130 FT SIZE OF THE PROPERTY. IN FACT, THE PROVIDED ARTIST SKETCH WITH PEOPLE GIVEN AT THE MEETING THAT WAS REFERENCED SHOWED ONLY 93 SEATS. WELL, THIS REQUIREMENT BE MONITORED AND ENFORCED. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE REQUESTER HAS REVISED THE PLAN TO USE THE PARKING LOT ON THE LEFT IN OSCEOLA. VALET PARKING. WHAT ALTERNATIVE IS HE PROPOSING? WHAT IS YOUR INCE'S? DO WE HAVE THAT THIS ISSUE WILL NOT BE RAISED IN THE FUTURE.

[01:55:07]

ESPECIALLY THE ORDINANCE REQUIRING VALET PARKING BE WITHIN 500 QUOTES. QUICK NOTE HIS GRAPHIC WHERE HE SAID 600 FT. IT'S ACTUALLY 756 100. FT. REQUIRES YOU GO THE WRONG WAY DOWN THERE. TO REPEAL THEM. ELECTORALLY MAKES A MOCKERY OF THE WHOLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, SIR. THAT LUANN LUANN STILLMAN DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY RIGHT NOW CONDUCTED BY ME, TOO. WE NEED TO. ALRIGHT I'LL PICK YOU LAST. HOW WAS THAT? OKAY. CHIP HAZARD. AND I'M GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE HARD TIME ADDRESSING ALL THE ISSUES THAT ARE BROUGHT UP HERE, MAINLY BECAUSE THIS APPLICATION IS NOT THE SAME APPLICATION THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE, UH, THE OTHER BOARD COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT. FOR NOW, THEY'RE SAYING THERE NOT REQUESTING BALLET, AND THEY'RE REQUESTING PARKING EXCEPTIONS. THAT HAPPENS UP A WHOLE BIG CAN OF WORMS, AND I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO ADDRESS IN THIS AMOUNT OF TIME, ESPECIALLY WITH ONLY THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK. BROUGHT UP ABOUT A DRINK, YOU KNOW, ADDRESSING THAT ISSUE CASE BY CASE YOU CAN'T DECIDE THAT TONIGHT. IT'S JUST NOT FAIR. THE PUBLIC HASN'T HAD MUCH NOTICED.

THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ADVICE, SO I'M GOING TO READ MY PREPARE EVERY MONTH. I APPRECIATE THE DIFFICULTY OF THE POSITION. YOU PLACE YOURSELVES IN WHEN APPLICATIONS LIKE THIS ONE. ONE WE ARE DISCUSSING REQUEST SPECIAL CONSIDERATION AND DEVIATION FROM ESTABLISHED ZONING. YOU FIVE COMMISSIONERS ARE ASKED ABOUT YES OR NO APPLICATION THAT'S BEEN PRESENTED TO YOU AND REPRESENTED TO THE PUBLIC. BUT THAT IS NOT THE APPLICATION OF PRESENTING TONIGHT YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER THE APPLICANT BUT PLEASE REMEMBER ALL OF YOU THAT YOU REPRESENT THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY. NOT THE CITY. THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY. SOUTHEAST SEMINAL AGAIN IS NOT AN ALLEYWAY. IT'S A NEIGHBORHOOD AND YOU'LL SEE THAT TONIGHT BECAUSE YOU HAVE A LOT OF NEIGHBORS HERE. MOST OF THE NEIGHBORS, THERE'S 30/30 RESIDENTS SINCE RESIDENCES THERE AND OVER 70 RESIDENTS THAT I KNOW ARE OPPOSED TO THIS PROJECT AND VOICE THAT OPPOSITION YOU NEED TO CONSIDER US OVER THE WISHES OF ONE APPLICANT. ISSUES THAT EVERYONE HAS PRESENTED AN I'VE EVEN EMAILED EVERYONE OF YOU. YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE? THEY'RE TRAFFIC, THEIR SAFETY AND THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE. THOSE ISSUES ARE REALLY UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO EVERYONE WHO HAS CHOSEN TO LIVE HERE ON SOUTHEAST SEMINAL AND BECOME A RESIDENT OF STEWART. SO I ASKED YOU AND I ANTICIPATE THAT YOU WILL YOUR WAY OUT OUR CONCERNS AND OUR OPINIONS BECAUSE WE'RE RESIDENTS AND TAXPAYERS. AND NOT JUST WAY OUT THE CONSIDERATIONS AND THE APP OF THE APPLICANTS. YOU HAVE A DEVELOPMENT IN FRONT OF YOU. HE HAS A RIGHT TO REQUEST DEVELOPMENT. BUT YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO CONSIDER US THE RESIDENTS. NOW I TAKE EXCEPTION TO A LOT OF THE WAY THIS WAS PRESENTED IN PARTICULAR. THE APPLICANT TOLD YOU THAT THERE WAS OVERWHELMING CONSENSUS THAT THE RESIDENTS WERE NOT WERE ONLY CONSIDERED WITH VALET THAT MAYBE HIS OPINION, BUT THAT IS NOT THE FACT. HE'S ASSUMING THAT'S THE OPINION BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY ISSUES RAISED. WE COULDN'T ADDRESS THEM ALL, JUST LIKE WE CAN'T ADDRESS THEM ALL NOW. IT WAS BROUGHT UP AT THIS MEETING JUST EARLIER TONIGHT ABOUT EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ABOUT ZONING AND LAND USE. BUT WHAT USE IS THAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO SIT HERE AND EXEMPT AND JUST DISREGARD ALL OF THAT ZONING TO SATISFY DEVELOPER THANK YOU. MARTY BLINKY MARTY, MR BLAKE. AT LAST EVERYONE'S LATE, MISTER ED

[02:00:01]

WELCOME, BRUCE. UM I LIVE ON SOME WALL STREET. I LIVED THERE. ABOUT 15 YEARS. I DROVE DOWN THAT STREET TO TRY AND FIND OUT HOW FOR 15 YEARS. HMM. THERE WASN'T FINALLY WOMAN PUT A SIGN FRONT AND I'M MORE. I LIKE IT THERE WITH TOWARD DOWN OUR HOUSE AND TURNED ON THE OTHER HOUSE.

AND WE BUILT A BEAUTIFUL HOME. YEAH I GOTTA TELL YOU ONE THING THAT REALLY REALLY GRABS. THESE PEOPLE SO FAR THEY CALLED US IN AN ALLEY. AND. SOME OF THE PEOPLE YOU HEARD JUST NOW. THEY HAD MORE TIME MILLION DOLLAR HOUSES. EVERY NIGHT I GO OUT AND I WALKED MY DOLLAR. AND. THERE'S YOU KNOW, YOU SEE MORE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME. COME AROUND. WHICH WAS FINE. BUT HOW LONG ARE THEY GOING TO DO THAT? AND OH, ARE THEY GOING TO GET AROUND THERE WHERE THEY COULD TURN IT INTO HER RAISED HER. AND SOMEBODY'S GOING TO GET HELP. SO I LIVED THERE. I LOVE IT THERE. YOU HEARD MY NEIGHBORS. YOU HEARD MY FRIENDS. IT'S JUST IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE WHATSOEVER. THANK YOU, SIR. MR CAMPENNI, TOM. THANK YOU. YOU SAID, YOU KNOW. WHEN WE APPROVED IT AT THE CRB,

[02:05:07]

BECAUSE CURRENTLY THEY DO TAKE UP PARKING SPACES THAT WOULD GENERALLY GO TO THE PUBLIC EATING DOWNTOWN, SO I THINK IT'S THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU KEEP THAT AND GIVE THEM THE PARKING EXEMPTION, BUT THEY NEED TO PROVIDE THE OTHER 42. IF YOU CAN WORK OUT A DEAL AS MIKE AND WE BELIEVE YOU CAN FOR LIABILITY . I THINK THAT'S PERFECT SOLUTION. AS TO THE MUSIC. I ADDED THAT CONDITION. I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO NOT BE ABLE TO SIT ON MY BACK PORCH SATURDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. BECAUSE OF MUSIC. NO I'M ON THE WATER AND ON THE WATER MUSIC TRAVELS. AND SO I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO USE MY BACK PORCH BY THE FRIDAY OR SATURDAY NIGHT. IN YEARS. AND YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO NOW LIVE ON SEMINOLE, AND THEY'RE GONNA EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM BECAUSE I GOT TO TELL YOU THERE IS NO ENFORCEMENT OF THE NOISE ORDINANCE. IT'S ALL MAKE BELIEVE. AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. I'M SURE MY FRIEND KURT COULD SPEAK TO THAT. SO I AM. I AM SAYING THAT THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT BECAUSE WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE RESIDENTIAL ON SEMINAL FOR THAT SPACE. WHAT I THINK YOU NEED TO BRING IT A FEW PROTECTIONS FOR THE PEOPLE THAT LIVED THERE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. MR. MARK MARK BRECK VILLE. MARK BRACK BILL AND I'M A RESIDENT IN THAT AREA DOWN TO EIGHT SOUTHEAST ON THE STREET. I WAS ALSO THE NO VOTE ON THE CRB RELATIVE TO THIS PROJECT. UM AND, UH, THE REASON I VOTED AGAINST IT WAS THAT THERE IS NO PARKING AND I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE A PARKING PROBLEM IN STUART AND WE DON'T NEED YOU KNOW EVERYTHING'S FINE, BUT BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THE WAY IT WAS BEING PROPOSED WAS LUDICROUS. THE ALTERNATIVE AFTER THE MEETING THEY HAD WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH WAS GOOD IS A BETTER ALTERNATIVE. BUT UM, BUT IT'S STILL AN ISSUE. IT'S STILL A PROBLEM THAT WE'RE PUTTING ANOTHER THING RIGHT THERE. THAT'S GOING TO GENERATE A LOT OF TRAFFIC. SO I THINK IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THIS, YOU NEED TO DO IT WITHIN WHAT THE EXISTING PLAN WAS DOWNTOWN. I MEAN, THE EASIEST WAY TO MOVE THE DO THIS IS TO MOVE IT IN UNDER THE DOWNTOWN EXEMPT PARKING BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO IT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, PUT IT IN THE SATURATION DISTRICT. BECAUSE THAT'S THE REASON WE HAVE. THAT SATURATION DISTRICT IS TO AVOID SOMETHING LIKE THIS BECOMING A BAR. SO I UNDERSTAND THE NEIGHBORS AND I HAVE A CONCERN, TOO. AND I WOULD HAVE MORE OF A CONCERN. IF THAT'S A BAR, AND PEOPLE ARE COMING OUT OF THERE, DRUNK AND STUMBLING DOWN MY STREET AND YOU KNOW WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT YOU KNOW THAT SHOULD BE WITHIN OUR OUR DISHES ARE SATURATION DISTRICT AND IT SHOULD BE SUCH THAT RIGHT NOW. THERE IS NO ROOM FOR THAT KIND OF LIQUOR LICENSE IN THE CITY OF STEWART. SO ANYWAY, THAT'S MY TAKE. THANK YOU, SIR. UH MISS LAUREAN, STILLMAN, YOUR TURN. COME ON, SAY THE NEXT. THEY'RE NOT HEARING YOU, BECKY. GOOD EVENING PLANNING ON SPEAKING AND I'M VERY NERVOUS. EVEN THE MARKET RETIRED TEACHER I'M USED TO SPEAKING BUT I HAD TO SAY SOMETHING.

YOU'RE JUST BOMBARDED BECAUSE YOU'RE BY THE WATER AND THE SOUNDS REALLY SOMETHING ELSE , SO I KNOW IT SHOULD BE NO MUSIC. SECONDLY, THERE IS ONE HANDICAPPED PARKING SPOT. IT'S A CITY AND IT'S ON THE CITY STREET. IN FRONT OF THE HOME. THIS MORE THAN ONE HANDICAPPED PERSON. IN STUART. LET ME TELL YOU, IT'S VERY HARD TO FIND HANDICAPPED PARKING. IF YOU KNOW YOU'VE GOT NO AND SECONDLY, I APOLOGIZE BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE SAYING THE ALLEY I BELIEVE IT HERE 50 YEARS AND I DO LOVE TALKING TO SENIORS IN YOUR SISTER PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN HERE LONG BEFORE I WAS WHEN YOU COME DOWN COLORADO. YOU TAKE A RIGHT YOU'RE ON SEMINOLE STREET.

BEAUTIFUL HOME. IF YOU TAKE A LEFT, THAT'S OUR BUSINESS DISTRICT. AND IT WAS AN ALLEYWAY FOR THE BUSINESSES. THAT'S GOOD DELIVERIES WERE MADE. THE GARBAGE WAS PICKED UP. AND THAT BACK IN THE OLD DAYS. BEFORE ALL THESE YOUNG PEOPLE MOVED THEIR HOME IN HERE AT THEIR HOMES.

THAT THAT'S THAT'S THE CONFUSION. TAKE A. THE RIGHT. YOU'RE ON SIMINO STREET IF YOU TAKE THE LEFT IT WAS THE ALLEYWAY AND THEN PEOPLE STARTED WITH THE THEY MADE IT ABROAD.

IT'S LIKE A LOT OF OUR ALLEYWAYS, BUT ANYWAY I PERSONALLY. WITH THE NEIGHBORS WOULD BE LIKE IT. COMMISSIONER ACCOUNTS WANTED TO PUT A RESTAURANT ON MY STREET. LET ME TELL YOU, I'D HAD MY NEIGHBORS HERE. JUST LIKE ALL THESE ARE HERE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, MR MCMILLAN. HI THERE, ANNIE MCMILLAN. UM.

HERE I GUESS I CONTINUE TO STAND BY MY WORDS ON ON JANUARY, THE EIGHTH THAT WE. THAT WE MEANING THAT THE TAXPAYERS, THE VOTERS, AND THE RESIDENTS NEED TO NUMBER ONE. CLEARLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS CURRENTLY ALLOWABLE IN OUR COMPACT DOWNTOWN AREA. WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT NUMBER TO AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOICE AS WE'RE DOING TONIGHT, AGAIN, OUR OPINIONS ON WHAT IS DISRUPTIVE AND TROUBLING. WE'RE DOING THAT.

AND NUMBER THREE TO BE GIVEN AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT CAN BE CHANGED. IN OUR CODES AND

[02:25:03]

A BETTER PLACE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL OF THE PEOPLE IS ANYONE ELSE? OKAY? NO MORE. UM, I WILL SAY. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY A FEW MORE WORDS LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND? SOME OF THE COMMENTS IF I MAY, IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE AFRICAN. MIKE MCCARTHY. MCCARTHY ON ASSOCIATES LAND PLANNING. APPRECIATE IT. UM I HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS HERE. I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS SOME INACCURACIES IN SOME STATEMENTS OF FALSE CLAIMS. UM YOU KNOW ALL A LOT OF THESE RESIDENTS WHEN THEY SAY THEIR ADDRESS AND WHERE THEY'RE LOCATED. THEY PURCHASED WITHIN A C R A COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA. AND MIXED USE ER FOR THAT. THERE ARE A PLETHORA OF USES THAT ARE ALLOWED THROUGHOUT THE SCIARRA IN THE URBAN WATERFRONT. AND THE SURROUNDING AREA AND I KNOW THAT AND I UNDERSTAND WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM WHEN THEY LIVED HERE FOREVER. 10 YEARS.

MAYBE THEY'VE ONLY LIVED HERE TWO YEARS. YOU KNOW, THE SEMINAL BLUFF RIVER HOUSE WAS JUST CEO IN THE LAST A COUPLE OF YEARS. AND IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, ONCE YOU GET HERE AND YOU SHUT THE YOU SHOULD SHUT THE PEARLY GATES AND EVERYTHING SHOULD JUST STOP. RIGHT? WELL LET'S LET'S REWIND.

LET'S THINK ABOUT WHAT STUART WAS 2030 YEARS AGO. OKAY, BECAUSE. STEWART WAS IN A BAD PLACE. 2030 YEARS, MIKE. I WOULD SAY, FOCUS ON YOUR PROJECT AND NOT MISSING THEM. I AM. NO, THIS IS PART OF MY PROJECT. THANK YOU. AND SO IF IT WASN'T FOR REVITALIZATION AND REHAB. AND URBAN INFILL AND REUSE CITIES THROUGH WINDY, VIBRANT LIKE IT IS TODAY THAT IS ATTRACTED ALL THESE PEOPLE TO MOVE HERE. SO AS FAR AS THE EXEMPTION BOUNDARY. THERE WAS A STATEMENT MADE ABOUT ADJUSTING AN EXEMPTION BOUNDARY. WE'RE NOT PROPOSING TO ADJUST ANY EXEMPTION BOUNDARY THROUGH THIS P D. WHAT IS OF DISCUSSION TONIGHT REGARDING EXEMPTION IS ONLY FOR THIS PIECE OF PROFIT.

SO I JUST WANT TO CLEAR THE YEAR THERE AS FAR AS I USE THE REFERENCE OF AN ALLEY. VALLEY. I UNDERSTAND. EXTENDS YOU KNOW, FROM COLORADO ALL THE WAY BACK UP AROUND SEMINAL BLUFF AND AROUND THE BOATHOUSE. I APOLOGIZE IF THAT'S OFFENSIVE, NOT TRYING TO FIT ANYBODY BY REFERENCE AGAINST AN ALLEY. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF FACT OF WHAT IT IS. UM AS FAR AS A. PARKING LEE SO WE REALLY CAN'T GO SECURE PARKING LEASE ON ANOTHER PERSON'S PRIVATE PROPERTY, AND THEN BE THE MIDDLEMAN AND GO GIVE IT TO THE CITY. HAPPY TO INTRODUCE WHOEVER WANTS TO REPRESENT THE CITY AND TAKE YOU TO MEET THE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE THESE PARKING LOTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE. AS FAR AS A LEASE. IF YOU'D LIKE TO LEASE THOSE WOULD BE HAPPY TO MAKE THAT TRANSACTION HAPPENED FOR US. UM. SATURATES SATURATION DISTRICT. WE'RE NOT IN THE SATURATION DISTRICT. THIS IS A STANDALONE P U D. UM. ANYWAY I THINK I'VE COVERED MOST OF MOST OF THE ISSUES AT HAND. BUT WE'RE HERE TO REQUEST APPROVAL. IF YOU HAVE ANY ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.

I'M HERE TO ANSWER THEM. YOU HAVE ANY FINAL COMMENTS YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE. AND I'D LIKE TO ALSO RESERVE THE RIGHT FOR OUR CLIENT ALSO SPEAK. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, NICK SCHROEPFER. THE RECORD THERE'S JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANTED TO, UM UM CLEAR UP SO UM. WE BROUGHT THIS FORWARD AND I THINK DR SAM BACK AND I ORIGINALLY DISCUSSED THIS PROPERTY AND 2020 2021. AND, UM.

WE APPROACHED THE CITY, PROBABLY IN OVER SIMPLISTIC. UTOPIAN. SORT OF CONCEPT LIKE. HEY 18 7

[02:30:07]

AFTER A CERTAIN TIME OR AT ALL I THINK WOULD BE CONSIDERED. UM I THINK PROHIBIT, YOU KNOW, AN EXEMPTION THAT PROHIBITED YOU KNOW, EVEN LIVE MUSIC OF ANY TYPE, I THINK WOULD BE YOU KNOW? SOMETHING THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED, UM THIS ISN'T AH! INTENDED TO BE A ROUGH AND ROWDY PLACE, AND I WOULD EXPECT NOTHING LESS THAN THIS COMMISSION TO YOU KNOW. TRY TO PLACE CONDITIONS ON THIS PROJECT THAT WILL PREVENT THAT. UH, SO. I THINK THAT WAS THE ONLY THOSE WERE THE ONLY THINGS UM, SATURATION DISTRICT. UM YOU KNOW IF THIS CONVERSATION SPILLS INTO EXTENSION OF THE SATURATION DISTRICT IF IT TURNS INTO EXTENSION OF THE PARKING EXEMPT DISTRICT I DO ASK THAT YOU ALL RECOGNIZE WE'VE BEEN OUT THIS FOR TWO YEARS AND, UM YOU KNOW? THE P U D KIND OF ENCOMPASSES THOSE THINGS, BUT FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROPERTY WITHOUT OPENING THIS UP INTO A PANDORA'S BOX OF WELL, WE'RE GOING TO INCLUDE THEM, YOU KNOW, I WANT TO BE INCLUDED HER. THEY WANT TO BE INCLUDED, OR DO WE INCLUDE THE NEXT ONE? UM SO I DO. ASK THAT THIS CONVERSATION, YOU KNOW, KIND OF FOCUS ON THIS, YOU KNOW, LITTLE BITTY PROJECT THIS LITTLE BITTY HOUSE THAT WE'D LIKE TO TURN INTO A LITTLE BITTY PLACE THAT WE CAN ALL GO AND YOU KNOW, IF THAT'S NOT THE COMMISSION'S WILL, THEN THEN THAT'S NOT THE COMMISSION'S WILL . AND WE'LL FIND ANOTHER USE FOR THE PROPERTY. BUT IT'LL LOOK A LOT DIFFERENT LOOK A LOT BIGGER AND BE A LOT MORE TIME. THANK YOU. HMM FOR MADAM, YOU'RE GONNA GO JUST GOING. I'LL GO AFTER COACH TO, UM EXPRESS HOW I FELT ABOUT THE PROPERTY. UM I CAN'T VOTE FOR THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY.

IT'S LIKE OVERKILL FOR ME. PEOPLE HAVE SPENT MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN RESTAURANTS AROUND THERE. I MEAN, MILLIONS. AND WE'RE GETTING TO WHERE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE PARKING PROBLEMS SO I CAN'T VOTE FOR IT BECAUSE OF PARTY. COMMISSION. SO I. I HAD JUST REALLY A QUESTION AROUND THAT PARKING LOT. I REALLY LIKED COMMISSIONER. RICH'S IDEA OF HAVING THAT PARKING STILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PATRONS. I THINK THE MAIN ISSUE OF IF I'M GATHERING THAT IS THE FEAR OF VALET DRIVER ZIPPING BACK AND FORTH AND THAT STREET AND SOMEBODY GETTING HURT. WHAT WAS THE. ARRANGEMENT THAT YOU GUYS WERE PLANNING ON HAVING WITH

[02:35:11]

[02:40:01]

[02:45:03]

LEVEL SATURATION DISTRICT LEVEL. NO THEY WOULD NOT BENEFIT AT THIS TIME UNLESS WE BROUGHT IN OTHER PROPERTIES. WHAT THEY DIDN'T SERVE ALCOHOL. CORRECT. CORRECT JUST FOR CLARITY. I DON'T THINK I THINK IT'S ITS RESTAURANT SPACE RIGHT RESTAURANTS PAID YES RESTAURANT WITH SERVING THE BUSINESS. IT'S THERE'S AN EXEMPTION FOR ANYTHING UNDER 50 SEATS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, OR CAFE, EXCEPTIONAL AS WELL. SQUARE FOOTAGE. JUST TO ADDRESS A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I DON'T THINK A DEED RESTRICTION IS SOMETHING. YOU KNOW, WE'RE PREPARED TONIGHT TO 13. I THINK THAT'S. THAT'S A PRETTY BIG DEAL. UM ZONING, YOU KNOW CONDITIONS WITH THE PROPERTY. WE GOT TO COME BACK HERE TO ASK. YOU KNOW PERMISSION TO CHANGE.

THERE'S DEED RESTRICTIONS ARE BOUGHT OUT AND YOU KNOW THAT BECOMES FAIRLY HEAVY. YOU KNOW? QUESTION MARK DOWN THE ROAD WHEN . PANDORA'S BOX OPENS BACK UP, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S ON THE TABLE. THE NOISE CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND IT REAL PROBLEM, BRO. YOU KNOW, SOLUTIONS CAN BE FOUND . I THINK NO NOISE AND MAYBE MR COMPANY CAN YOU KNOW ELABORATE ON WHAT HIS INTENTION WAS, BUT I THINK YOU'RE HARD PRESSED TO WALK INTO ANY RESTAURANT THAT HAS ZERO MUSIC AND SO YOU KNOW, FINDING A HAPPY MEDIAN, PRESENTING THE DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR WITH THE NOISE STUDY OF OUR FINAL, YOU KNOW, SPEAKER LAYOUT WITH OUR BUILDING PLANS, YOU KNOW THAT MIGHT ALLOW FOR ENOUGH MUSIC TO KEEP YES, YOU KNOW. STIMULATED IF YOU WILL, OR ENTERTAINED OR WHATNOT WITHOUT SPILLING OVER THE PROPERTY. UM, WE DID. DID YOU A RESTAURANT DOWN IN THE KEYS? WHERE WE WORK WITH THE SOUND STUDY GUY AND YOU KNOW, WE WERE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, DEMONSTRATE. HOW YOU KNOW? THE PROPOSED USE WOULD REMAIN ON THE SITE. SO IF THAT WERE TO BE A CONDITION OF THE OF THE APPROVAL THAT YOU KNOW THAT GETS SUBMITTED WITH BUILDING PLANS WHERE WE'RE SHOWING SPEAKER LAYOUTS THAT MIGHT BE WAY TO ADDRESS THAT. UM SO IF. MIKE. DR SHANE BACK, YOU GUYS HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD? IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS. UM I MEAN, WE'RE HERE AT YOUR MERCY. WE'VE PUT TWO YEARS INTO THIS. IT'S APPROPRIATE TO HAVE A RESTAURANT DOWNTOWN. I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS. UH REGARDING THE NOISE. I THINK WE CAN WORK THROUGH THAT BETWEEN NOW AND SECOND READING, FIND SOME SOMETHING THAT'S PALATABLE FOR EVERYONE. UM. YOU KNOW, WE'VE TRIED TO ADDRESS ALL THE CONCERNS OF THE RESIDENTS. I'M NOT NOT SURE ELSE. WHAT'S TO OFFER AT THIS POINT. UM TO ONE STORY RESTAURANT. IN KEEPING WITH OUR SMALL DOWNTOWN BOUTIQUE RESTAURANT. PROVIDES A PUBLIC BENEFIT. PUBLIC ACCESS TO THE WATERFRONT EXTENSION OF THE BOARDWALK, ETCETERA. UM YOU KNOW, I GUESS THE OTHER ALTERNATIVE, MY CLIENT WILL MOVE

[02:50:06]

THEN THE MUSIC WOULD BE CONTAINED INDOOR WHEN YOU HAVE A RESTAURANT, AND EVERYTHING IS OUTDOOR. THAT MUSIC IS GOING TO TRAVEL. AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S ON THE WATER IT'S GONNA TRAVEL AND I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST MUSIC. BUT I KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

THE POLICE ARE GOING TO BE INUNDATED WITH COMPLAINTS. POLICE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TRY TO RESPOND. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO RESPOND TO A NOISE COMPLETE. AND SO YOU'RE SETTING YOURSELVES UP.

TO HAVE A BATTLE BETWEEN THIS RESTAURANT. AND THOSE PEOPLE LIVING ON SEVEN I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS. SO THAT'S WHAT I MEANT WAS INDOORS. I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE MADE THAT CONDITION. I STAND CORRECTED. UM THERE'S NOT A MOTION TO APPROVED. AND UM YOU KNOW, WE'D LIKE TO RESPECTFULLY TABLE THIS ITEM AND, YOU KNOW, BRING IT BACK AFTER YOU KNOW, FOR THEIR DELIBERATION AMONGST OUR TEAM, AND YOU KNOW, COORDINATION WITH THE NEIGHBORS AND. I CAN ALWAYS REQUEST THAT AFTER THE HEARING. OKAY THANK YOU. AND I ALSO WANT TO THINK OF ALL THE CITIZENS ON SEMINOLE STREET FOR COMING TONIGHT. AND THE HOURS YOU'VE SAID HERE AND ALL YOUR LETTERS AND YOUR CONCERNS. WE HEARD THEM. ARE WE GOING TO TRY AGAIN? DO WE HAVE EMOTION. I GUESS WE'RE DONE. POINTS. FIRST HEARING. BILL. AND SO WE SET FOR ANOTHER HEARING. WITHOUT WITHOUT DOING. THIS WILL BE SET FOR A SECOND READING. THIS IS THE FIRST READING SO IT'LL COME BACK FOR A SECOND READING AND THEN YOU VOTE FEBRUARY. RIGHT. WE'RE DRUNK. I UNDERSTAND THAT PROCEDURAL HERE SO WE'RE SAYING THAT THE FIRST READING WAS A NO VOTE, AND THEN THIS IS GOING TO COME BACK FOR A SECOND READING, AND THAT VOTE IS GOING TO CARRY THE DAY. THEY'RE THE FIRST READING VOTE DOESN'T ACTUALLY HAVE ANY BEARING ON THE ORDINANCE. ANYONE INDICATED OF THE SUPPORT FOR, UM LACK OF SUPPORT OF THE BOARD DIDN'T GET EMOTION. DOESN'T STOP THE DUE PROCESS OF THE TWO HEARING PROCESS TO THE APPLICANTS, SO THE APPLICANTS FREE TO RETURN ON WHATEVER DATE IN FEBRUARY. THE HEARING IS, I THINK IT'S FEBRUARY 12. AND PURSUE A VOTE OR PURSUE A CONCLUSION, OR BETWEEN NOW AND FEBRUARY 12TH.

THE APPLICANT COULD REQUEST A CONTINUANCE OF THE APPLICANT WOULD COULD REQUEST TO COULD WITHDRAW THE APPLICATION OR MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE APPLICATION ACCORDINGLY. SO DO WE NEED A REQUEST OF CONTINUOUS TO DATE CERTAIN OR IT'S JUST SECOND READING IS SCHEDULED FOR FEBRUARY AND SECOND READING IS CURRENTLY SCHEDULED. IF IT'S REQUESTS A CONTINUANCE BETWEEN LET'S SAY TOMORROW YOU CALLED AND SAID THAT I REQUESTED ON FEBRUARY 12TH. THE BOARD WOULD HAVE TO REQUEST OR WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A MOTION TO SCHEDULE IT FOR A DATE CERTAIN OF WHENEVER THAT IS AND IT WOULD BE MOVED TO THE DATE CERTAIN ON FEBRUARY 12TH.
