POSSIBLE ACTIONS ARE TO APPROVE THE PROPOSED CONDITIONAL USE AND SITE PLAN WITH NO CHANGES. STAFFRECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST SUBJECT TO THE THREE CONDITIONS .

YOU CAN ALSO APPROVE THE CONDITIONAL USE SITE PLAN WHICH CHANGES OR DISAPPROVE THE CONDITIONAL USE SITE PLAN.

THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO DEFER ALL QUESTIONS TO THE APPLICANT! NO QUESTIONS OF STAFF BECAUSE HE IS DEFERRING THEM TO THE APPLICANT.

NICELY DONE. YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF MR.

GILMORE? >> I HAVE NO QUESTION.

>>LINDA HUDSON - MAYOR : THANK YOU.

>> I WILL ACCEPT ALL QUESTIONS ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT AND STAFF FOR THIS EVENING. FOR THE RECORD, LEE DOBBINS WITH THE LAW FIRM. WE ALSO HAVE WITH US BLAINE WITH KINLEY HORN ENGINEERING, THEY ARE THE ENGINEERS FOR THE APPLICANT. AS MR. GILMORE INDICATED, THIS IS THE SAME PROJECT ON THE PREVIOUS TWO VOTES THAT THE BOARD JUST CAST FOR THE LAND-USE AMENDMENT OF THE ZONING CHANGE. THIS IS THE FINAL STEP, WHICH IS THE CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL AND SITE PLAN.

WITH THAT, I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

>LINDA HUDSON - MAYOR : ANY QUESTIONS.

>> JUST QUICK ONES. MR. DOBBINS, IN OUR DISCUSSION WE TALKED ABOUT THIS PROJECT WE TALKED ABOUT THE BUFFER ZONE AT GRAHAM ROAD RIGHT THERE. IF YOU COULD BRING THE SITE PLAN OF. I SEE ASKEW IN THE PROPERTY LINE, A LITTLE ANGLE IN THE NORTH PROPERTY LINE.

IS THAT BECAUSE OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY ON THE BRIDGE?

WHAT IS HAPPENING THERE? >> THAT IS THE ACTUAL PROPERTY LINE FOR THE PROPERTY. I AM NOT SURE WHY IT GOES LIKE

THAT. >> I KNOW THAT THERE IS A LOT OF OAK AND VEGETATION ALONG THE RIGHT-OF-WAY RIGHT THERE.

AND I WANT TO MAINTAIN THE PARTS AND PIECES OF THIS IS BEING A COMMERCIAL, GETTING CLOSE TO RESIDENTIAL.

WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A GOOD BUFFER ON THE NORTH RIGHT-OF-WAY. NORTH PROPERTY LINE, I'M SORRY.

>> THERE IS EXISTING VEGETATION THERE, WHICH IS WHY THAT AREA WAS PRESERVED. I BELIEVE THIS LANDSCAPING PLAN SHOWING THE NEW PLANTINGS GOING ON.

SO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING THERE IS YOU SEE THE TREES ON THE IMAGE SHOWING THE NEW PLANTINGS FOR THAT ENTIRE GREEN AREA UP THERE IS SOMEBODY VEGETATED AND IF YOU LOOK AT IT FROM AN AERIAL, THERE ARE TREES BEING PRESERVE .

>> AND THOSE ARE NEW PLANTINGS HE SAID REPRESENTED ON THIS GRAPH? BUT CORRECT.

THOSE THINGS ARE NEW TREES BEING PLANTED IN ADDITION TO WHAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE PRESERVED AREA.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU!

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >>THOMAS PERONA : THANK YOU.

AND IT IS REALLY JUST A CONSIDERATION.

I SEE IT IS 503 COVERED RV SPACES.

I SEE THE ILLUSTRATION RIGHT THERE IN A THINKING TO MYSELF WE HAD A A LOT OF PROPOSALS COME THROUGH RECENTLY THAT INCORPORATE SOLAR WITH THE THINKING THAT THIS WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY TO PUT SOLAR ON THE STRUCTURES TO MAKE THE POWER THE WATER FEATURE, MAYBE HAVE SOME OF THE ANCILLARY BENEFITS OR WHATEVER AT THIS PLACE AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT WAS EVER CONSIDERED OR NOT.

>> THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY HAVE EVER CONSIDERED SOLAR ON A PER THIS ENOUGH COVERING YOU COULD

MAKE A SOLAR POWER PLANT. >> PROBABLY THE CITY.

>> I CAN'T HELP BUT SEE THAT OPPORTUNITY WITH ALL THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OUT THERE AND THINKING TO MYSELF WE ARE IN THE 21ST CENTURY SO AT LEAST CONSIDER IT.

I KNOW WE CAN'T MAKE IT A REQUIREMENTS, BUT I JUST THOUGHT THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY THERE FOR SOMEBODY TO DO SOMETHING. AND I KNOW HAVING SPENT THE LAST MONTH IN IN RV, I WILL SAY THAT SOLAR AND CONSERVATION ARE BIG ITEMS FOR FOLKS WHO DEAL WITH THAT AND IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING IN THE MARKETING AND AS A RECOMMENDATION.

>> THAT'S AN INTERESTING IDEA. I WILL PASS IT ALONG TO THE

APPLICANTS BUT MR. JOHNSON. >> QUICK QUESTION.

THE ENTRY POINT WILL BE OFF OF WHAT IS AT ROAD THERE IN FRONT OF THAT? I SEE TWO ENTRY POINTS HERE.

IS THAT CORRECT? BUT THAT IS RIGHT.

THAT IS PETERS ROAD ON THE SIDES OF THEIR.

>> THE ONLY WAY TO ACCESS THIS WOULD BE FROM PETERS?

>> RIGHT. THIS IS NORTH OF THE CRACKER BARREL TO KIND OF GIVE SOME CONTEXT.

>> THE BUFFERS ON THE BACK ALONG 95, THEY COME DOWN 95 AND YOU WILL BASICALLY SEE A TREE LINE LOOK LIKE COMMUNITY FROM 9

TO 5. >> CORRECT.

THAT WAS A BIG PRIORITY TO HAVE IT PRESENT WELL FROM THE PETERS

[00:20:05]

ROADSIDE ON THE I-95 SIDE. >> RIGHT.

AND NO HARD BARRIERS OR WALLS? >> THAT IS ALL JUST VEGETATION.

>> SO THERE WOULD BE A SECURITY FENCE AROUND THIS WHOLE ENTIRE

PERIMETER. >> YES, SIR.

>> ON BIG ON THAT. ONLY ONE WATER FEATURE ON THE WESTERN PART OF THAT? NOT ON THE I-95 PART.

>> ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE. >> BUT IT IS FOR THE WEST, THOUGH? BASED ON WHAT I SEE, THE WATER FEATURE THERE? BUT YES, I SEE WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. YES, SIR.

>> IS NOT LIT AT NIGHT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT IS IT?

>> I GUESS THEY COULD. >> YOU ARE GOING DOWN 95 ON WE WANT TO GIVE THE ILLUSION WE ARE GROWING IN THE COMMUNITY AND THEY SAY THEY ARE GROWING, LET'S BUILD SOME MORE, RIGHT? IT JUST JUMPED OUT AT ME AS I LOOKED AT THIS.

NOTHING MAJOR. I WAS JUST TRYING TO GET APPLICANT MADE IT TO WHAT WAS HERE PARIS TO ACCESS POINTS AND THEY BOTH COME OUT OF PETERS ROAD, RIGHT? AND SOME IMPROVEMENT WILL BE DONE TO PETERS?

BUT THAT IS RIGHT. >> OKAY.

THANK YOU. >>LINDA HUDSON - MAYOR : ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE MAY ASK YOU ÃDOES YOUR PARTNER WANT TO SAY ANYTHING? NO? OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO REVISIT ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE?DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD.

>> I DO NOT. >> GREAT.

JOHNSON. >> YES.

[f. Legislative Hearing - Ordinance 21-067 Amending Code Section 2-270(c) regarding the maximum pension annuity payments for members hired prior to October 1, 2012. SECOND READING]

>> THANK YOU. GOOD LUCK.

! NEXT WE HAVE 21 Ã067 IN AMENDMENT TO THE CODE OF ORDINANCES FOR THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE AMENDING CODE SECTION 2 Ã270 SUBSEA ALIGNING MAXIMUM PENSION PAYMENTS FROM MEMBERS JOINING THE SYSTEM BEFORE OCTOBER 1, 2012 WITH PROVISIONS OF INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE CODE AND OTHER APPLICABLE LAW PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF INCONSISTENT CODE PROVISIONS AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

THIS IS THE SECOND READING. >>LINDA HUDSON - MAYOR : ANYONE WISHING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, PLEASE COME FORWARD.

STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR ME, PLEASE! MY NAME IS JAMES. I RESIDE IN FORT PIERCE.

I AM HERE TO QUESTION WHY THE CHANGES NEEDED.

HOW DOES THIS HELP THE TAXPAYERS OF FORT PIERCE, WHERE DOES THE QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS COME FROM, HOW MUCH IS THIS GOING TO COST OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS, HOW MUCH MONEY WAS SPENT TO HIRE CONSULTANTS TO PRODUCE THE STUDY.

BASICALLY I THINK THIS MONEY COULD BE BETTER UTILIZED THE NEW PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS, AND I BELIEVE THE CITY SHOULD DENY THIS. THANK YOU.

>>LINDA HUDSON - MAYOR : ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, PLEASE COME FORWARD. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ENTERTAIN DISCUSSION FOR A MOTION.

>>LINDA HUDSON - MAYOR : I'M NOT UNCOMFORTABLE WITHTHE SILENCE. I WILL WAIT .

I WILL START THIS ROLLING SINCE EVERYBODY IS PONDERING THIS.

THIS IS THE SECOND READING OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE RETIREMENT ORDINANCE AND THIS IS SOMETHING WE ARE PASSING SO IT WILL BE A

[00:25:07]

FAIR THING TO PEOPLE WHO ARE HIRED, IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, FOR 2012. THIS WAS A FAIRNESS ISSUE AND SOMETHING WE ASKED THE RETIREMENT BOARD TO RECONSIDER AND THEY BROUGHT THIS FORWARD TO US.

IS THAT RIGHT? >> YES.

DIDN'T THANK YOU FOR THAT. SPOKE ON THIS A COUPLE OF TIME . WE HAD PENSION REFORM HAPPEN.

AND BECAUSE OF THAT WE CHANGED THE WAY, WE CHANGED THE BENEFIT PLANS THAT ALSO AFFECTED PEOPLE HIRED UNDER A CERTAIN RULE AND REGULATION AT THAT TIME. PART OF THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT PACKAGE WAS SET. AND THEN WE CHANGED IT.

WE DIDN'T THINK IT WAS GOING TO AFFECT ANYBODY.

YOU HAD TO EARN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY BEFORE THIS WOULD HAVE ANY RELEVANCE.BUT IT HAD.

AND SO EFFECTIVELY WE HAVE TAKEN AWAY SOMETHING FROM SOMEBODY THAT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT ORIGINALLY. IT'S A BENEFIT.

A BENEFIT TO DO THAT.AND SEVERAL RETIRED, NOT SEVERAL, A FEW FOLKS AT THE CITY LEVEL RETIRED WITH THIS BENEFIT.

AND SO IN ORDER TO FIX THIS, THE RETIREMENT BOARD DID TAKE A LOOK AT IT, WENT THROUGH, WE DISCUSSED IT INTENTLY.

WE FOUND THE IMPACT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT COULDN'T BE HANDLED OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

IN REMINDER, OUR RETIREMENT SYSTEM, IF I CAN RECALL, IT'S AND THAT 95 PERCENT FUNDED. WE ARE IN THE TOP THREE PERCENT IN THE NATION FOR PUBLIC PENSIONS OUR SIZE.

THEY USE US AS A MODEL WHEN THEY TALK TO OTHER PENSIONS MUNICIPALITIES AND SAY HERE'S WHAT A SMALL TOWN IN FLORIDA DOES AND THEY'VE DONE IT RIGHT FOR ALL OF THESE YEARS.WE GOT TO THE END OF IT, WE ARE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT THE IMPACTS OF WHAT IT DOES TO THE SYSTEM AND I'M GOING TO TELL YOU THIS IS A FAIR CHANGE TO CORRECT THOSE THINGS WE TOOK AWAY WITH PENSION REFORM. AND IT PASSED UNANIMOUSLY AT THE RETIREMENT BOARD AND I TOTALLY SUPPORT IT.

IF THERE'S ANY OTHER ISSUE AT ALL, IT'S NOT MONEY ON THE TABLE WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SPEND THIS YEAR.

THIS IS GOING TO BE REALIZED OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

THE IMPACT. THE IMPACT IS SO MINIMAL IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS. AND SO THE BENEFIT OUTWEIGHS

THE COST. >>LINDA HUDSON - MAYOR : ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? PICK A QUICK QUESTION HERE.

YOU ARE ON THE RETIREMENT BOARD SO MAYBE THE BACKGROUND HERE WOULD BE HELPFUL. HOW MANY ACTUAL PEOPLE ARE IMPACTED PARIS TO BE TALKING TWO OR THREE?

>> I THINK ONE. I THINK WE ARE AT ONE.

>> I RECALL THAT. I THOUGHT IT WAS ONE OR TWO.

>> IT WOULD BE THE SAME THING IF YOU WERE HIRED INTO A JOB AND THEY PROMISED YOU THE ABILITY OVER A PERIOD OF TIME THAT IN THEIR ADVANCEMENT OR YOU WILL HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF RETIREMENT. THE YEARS THAT YOU PUT IN WILL BE USED IN YOUR RETIREMENT CALCULATION AND THEN 10 YEARS INTO THE PROGRAM THE COMPANY DECIDES TO CHANGE EVERYTHING.

IT REALLY SENDS THE WRONG MESSAGE BECAUSE IT IS A BENEFIT. IT IS A LONG-TERM COMMITMENT OF PROMISE AND THAT IS WHAT WE DO WITH OUR BENEFITS.

ALONG TERM PROMISE TO OUR EMPLOYEES THAT WHEN YOU'RE HIRED THIS IS WHAT WE CAN DO. AND SERIOUSLY, I REALLY THINK YOU CAN ALWAYS EMBELLISH A BENEFIT.

BUT YOU REALLY CAN'T TAKE ONE AWAY.

AND AWAY THIS REALLY TOOK AWAY AN OPPORTUNITY AND FIXED IT.

>> AND WE FIXED IT GOING FORWARD? THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM THAT'S GOING TO COME UP AGAIN? WE ANTICIPATE. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, IT WAS TAKEN AWAY. IT WAS THERE, IT WAS TAKEN AWAY AND NOW IT IS BACK FIXED WITH THIS ONE INDIVIDUAL, BUT YET

GOING FORWARD. >> ON THE HIRE DATE.

>> RIGHT. RIGHT NOW THIS IS A SITUATION

OF ONE. >> IT IS ONLY RELEVANT TO THOSE HIRED BEFORE 2012. OCTOBER 1 I THINK IT WAS.

AND THAT DOESN'T SEEM THAT LONG AGO, AND YOU HAVE TO BE IN A CERTAIN POSITION TO PASS THOSE THRESHOLDS.

WITH ALL THOSE THINGS OUT THERE, IT'S DE MINIMIS.

IT DOESN'T REALLY. >> AND WE DID PASS REFORM AND THE REFORM IS IN PLACE. THIS WAS A MISSED GLITCH.

>> WE WILL SAY THAT AT THE TIME BECAUSE THE CITY WAS IN DIRE

[00:30:01]

STRAITS AS ALL CITIES WERE IN THAT 2011/12 ERA TRYING TO FIND FUNDING FOR ESSENTIAL SERVICES AND EVERYTHING.

WE HAD TO DIG DOWN. EVERYBODY HAD TO PAY THE PRICE.

I WAS ON THE RETIREMENT BOARD AT THAT MOMENT TOO AND WE HAD A BUDGET REVIEW COMMITTEE IT WAS A SHARP BLADE THROUGH EVERYTHING THAT WE HAD AT THE TIME TO REACH THESE NUMBERS AND WE DID.

THERE'S BEEN SOME THINGS THAT WE'VE HAD TO GO BACK.

IF YOU RECALL WE WENT TO THE 10 YEAR VESTING AND WE HAD TO BACK OFF FROM THAT BECAUSE IT WAS AFFECTING OUR EMPLOYMENT. WE DID THE RIGHT THING AT THE TIME BUT THEN YOU HAVE TO TAKE A GOOD HARD LOOK ON IT AND FIND OUT WHAT THE LONG TERM AFFECT IS AND WHAT'S THE IMPACT TO YOUR CITY AND YOUR COMMUNITY.

IN THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION THE IMPACT WAS THAT WE TOOK SOMETHING AWAY THAT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN AWAY AND THOSE THAT ARE INVOLVED IT'S ONE IF THERE'S TWO I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO NUMBER TWO IS.

BUT, IT WILL NOT REPEAT ITSELF.

>> IT'S MINIMAL FINANCIAL IMPACT OVER TIME.

>> YES. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS. WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A

MOTION? >> YES, MAYOR, I MOVE

APPROVAL. >> SECOND.

>> RELEASE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

BEFORE YOU WE HAVE A ZONING ATLAS MAP ATTEMPT TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT. SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THE WESTSIDE OF OLD ANDER AVENUE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS 12.92 ACRES. APPROVAL TO DEVELOP 50 UNIT FAMILY SINGLE HOME DEVELOPMENT.

CURRENT FUTURE LAND USE IS MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

WHICH IS 6.5 TO 12 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

THE PROPOSED CURRENT ZONING IS R-4 WHICH IS MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL 10 TO 12 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE AND THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT 3.47 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE WHICH IS DOWNSIDING THE ZONING. THERE WAS A REQUEST FOR ZONING ATLAS TO PLAN DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF A PRELIMINARY PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OCTOBER 11TH. IT'S SCHEDULED FOR CITY COMMISSION FOR CONSIDERATION JANUARY 18TH THIS IS FOR THE PRELIMINARY FLAT AND THE SITE PLAN AND DESIRE TABLED UNTIL STAFF IS READY TO PRESENT THEIR REVISED BUS STOP AREAS THAT OCCURRED OCTOBER 11, 2021, PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDED APPROVAL ON DECEMBER 13TH, 2021.

AND THE SITE PLAN IS SCHEDULED FOR CITY

[00:35:03]

COMMISSION CONSIDERATION ON JANUARY 18TH, 2022.

IN ORDER TO PRELIMINARY FLAT IS IN ORDER TO SUBDIVIDE THE PROPERTY. -- PLAT IS IN ORDER TO

SUBDIVIDE THE PROPERTY. >> REPORTER: THE CURRENT ZONING IS R-4 WHICH PERMITS SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS, DUPLEXES AND TOWNHOUSE DWELLINGS, AND MOBILE HOMES WITH THREE OR MORE DWELLING UNITS.

A MAXIMUM GROSS DENSITIES WILL GENERALLY NOT EXCEED 10 UNITS PER ACRE FOR CONVENTIONAL DEVELOPMENTS AND 12 UNITS INNOVATIVE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO PROVIDE FLEXIBILITY IN DESIGN AND PERMIT DIVERSIFICATION AND INTEGRATION OF THE USE AND STRUCTURES WHILE AT THE SAME TIME GRANTING THE CITY COMMISSION THE ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH SUCH LIMITATIONS AND REGULATIONS AS IT'S DEEMED NECESSARY TO PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH SAFETY, AND GENERAL WELFARE. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A FEW VARIATIONS FROM THE R-4 MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT FOR THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

TWO OF THOSE WOULD BE THE RIGHT OF WAY WIDTH OF THE INTERIOR ROAD IS NORMALLY IT'S A REQUIREMENT OF 60 FEET, THEY ARE PROPOSING 50. THE SETBACK WOULD NORMALLY BE 25 FEET FOR THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT IT WOULD BE 15.

BEFORE YOU ARE FOUR DIFFERENT ELEVATIONS WHICH SHOW RENDERS OF THE PROPOSED HOMES IT'S A CIRCULAR WITH AMENITIES ON BOTH SIDES. STAFF AND PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OTHER REQUEST ZONING ATLAS MAP AMENDMENT ON OCTOBER 11, 2021.

POSSIBLE ACTIONS BY THE CITY COMMISSION APPROVED THE ZONING ATLAS MAP AMENDMENT ALTERNATIVE ACTION WOULD BE TO DISAPPROVE. I WILL DEFER ALL QUESTIONS

TO THE APPLICANT. >> ALL RIGHTY.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM MR. GILMORE BEFORE WE OKAY.

NOW I WILL ASK THE APPLICANT TO COME FORWARD PLEASE REPRESENTEDDING THE APPLICANT TODAY.

I DON'T HAVE A FORMAL PRESENTATION FOR THE REZONING I THOUGHT STAFF DID A GOOD JOB STATING WHAT OUR CHANGES WERE FROM THE CONVENTIONAL ZONING AND WHY WE ARE GOING TO A P.D. THE MAIN REASON FOR GOING TO A P.D. WAS SO WE COULD SHRINK THE INTERIOR ROADWAYS RIGHT OF WAY SO WE COULD HAVE MORE OF A LARGER SETBACK IN THE REAR OF THE HOMES. I'M AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE FOR STAFF REFERRED TO THE

APPLICANT. >> ANY QUESTIONS OF THE

APPLICANT. >> YES, SIR.

>> THIS IS QUASI-JUDICIAL. >> YES.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. >> HE WAS SWORN IN.

>> THANK YOU FOR ASKING. >> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.

>> SO CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP OR ONE OF THOSE MAPS THAT SHOWS YOU MENTION OUR STAFF MENTIONED THE SPLIT OF THE PROPERTY. ARE THE SPLITTING THIS PROPERTY IS THAT ONE -- NO, WE'RE JUST DOING A POLITICAL

PLAT BECAUSE IT'S >> DOES -- DOES THE OWNER ALSO OWN THE NORTH PIECE RIGHT THERE IN RED.

>> NO, THEY DO NOT. >> SO THIS IS ONE PIECE OF

PROPERTY. >> GOT IT.

>> ALL RIGHTY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT COULD YOU EXPLAIN WHY THOSE THE R-4 DISTRICT REQUIRES A 25 FOOT FRONT SETBACK FOR THE BUILDING.

MAIN REASON IT'S THE PRODUCT WE ARE PUTTING ON HERE.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE REAR WE WANT TO PROVIDE MORE OF A LARGER BACKYARD AREA. SO FOR THOSE PUTTING THE SING MANY FAMILY HOME JUST 10 FEET CLOSE SORRY WE CAN MORE OF A REAR YARD FOR PEOPLE ON THIS PRODUCT.

TIPIC LITTLE IN THE SINGLE FAMILY WE WANTED TO PUSH

[00:40:08]

PUSH THAT TO 82. WE DISCUSSED THAT WITH THE ENGINEERS STAFF AT THE CITY THEY WERE ON BOARD WITH THAT AND APPROVED SHRINKING THE RIGHT OF WAY TO 50 FEET.

>> SO THINKING ABOUT WHAT IT IS ZONED TODAY VERSUS WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES WHAT ARE THE OTHER OPTIONS IF YOU HAD TO MAINTAIN AND KEEP A MEDIUM DENSITY. SO YOU ARE LOOKING AT 120 MULTIUNITS ON THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY.

WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS MUCH REDUCED DENSITY OF SINGLE FAMILY. WE ARE GETTING MORE GREEN SPACE IN THIS ELEMENT RATHER THAN A DENSE ELEMENT GOING

VERTICAL POSSIBLY, RIGHT? >> CORRECT.

I BELIEVE CITY CODE ALLOWS THREE STORIES FOR MEDIUM DENSITY SO WE'RE DOING A SINGLE STORY HOMES ONLY PUMP LOOK ON OUR I BELIEVE OUR WHAT'S THAT NORTHERN PROPERTY LINE WE'RE PRESERVING AN ACRE OF WETLAND THAT'S EXISTING. SO WE'RE TRYING TO HAVE A LOT MORE OPEN GREEN SPACE THAN WHAT THE CONVENTIONAL ZONING ALLOWS FOR US. AND THE OTHER ELEMENT YOU JUST MENTIONED IT, TOO. THIS WETLAND AREA ABUTTS A

CREEK, RIGHT? >> THAT'S CORRECT.

THERE'S AN EXISTING CREEK THAT SPLITS THE TWO PROPERTIES THAT YOU ARE REFERRING TO EARLIER.

DUE TO THAT CREEK BEING THERE IT HAS CAUSED A NATURAL WEST LAND TO SECURE ON THE SITE.

SO AS PART OF KIND OF PRESERVING NATURE AND I THINK ALSO ADDING AN AMENITY TO THE SITE WE ARE KEEPING THAT WETLAND IT IS A -- AND FILLED IT IN.

BUT WE ARE PROPOSING TO KEEP IT AS AN ESETIC FOR THE

NEIGHBORHOOD. >> THANK YOU, SIR.

>> MADAM, MAYOR. I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS.

CAN WE GO BACK TO THE ACTUAL REPLICAS OF WHAT THEY WERE BASICALLY YOUR FOOD PRINT IS 50 UNITS GOING IN THE SUBDIVISION. YES THAT BECOMES A CHALLENGE AT SOME POINT THEN WE HAVE MOSQUITOES, RIGHT.

SO I'M THINKING DOWN THE ROAD OF WHAT'S THE INTENTION OF THIS. AN INTENT FOR US TO BE GREEN SPACE, GREEN GRASS DRY AND GREEN AND STAYS THAT WAY.

>> THING FOR FLORIDA WE HAVE TO PROVIDE FOR STORM WATER.

WE WILL PLAN WE WILL PLANT DIFFERENT GRASSES AND I BELIEVE PALMETTOS. SO YOU ARE NOT JUST LOOKING AT LIKE AN OPENING THING OF SOD.

NOW WHEN IT COMES TO THE IT BEING WET WE SUPERTO GET PERMITS FROM SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT.

SO WE HAVE DIFFERENT FILTERS IN ORDER TO MEET THAT REQUIREMENT. THANK YOU.

THAT HELPS ME. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I WILL ASK YOU TO COME BACK UP. RIGHT NOW I'M LOOKING FOR ANYTHING ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE PLEASE COME FORWARD. ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN SWORN IN PLEASE COME FORWARD. STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS

AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. >> HOW ARE YOU DOINGND MY NAME IS JASON FITZSIMMONS I'M THE NEW OWNER.

JUST MOVED HERE TO FORT PIERCE AT 4201 SUNRISE

BOULVARD. >> WELCOME.

>> THANK YOU. PROBABLY MY FIRST TIME DOING THIS. THE QUESTIONS I HAVE BECAUSE I JUST MOVED THERE JUST RECEIVED INFORMATION ABOUT THIS GOING ON AND I KNOW A STREET THAT RUNS INTO SUNRISE HERE IS BACK SIDE TO THIS COMPLEX.

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS COMES IN ON OWE LEANDER OR IF THIS RUNS OLD ANDER. IT'S MARKED AT 35 MILES PER HOUR.

MIDWAY ROAD IT'S MARKED AT 30 MILES PER HOUR.

SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS IT'S FASTER TO INGREDIENT THROUGH

[00:45:02]

THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAN A MAIN ROAD.

SO NOW WE'RE ADDING MORE HOUSES NOW WHERE IS THIS EXIT ON OLEANDER. SO IT LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT GO TO SUNRISE I MIGHT BE WRONG, I'M NOT SURE.

>> WE'LL ANSWER THAT LATER FOR YOU.

>> AND IF SO, WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE BACK SIDES OF THE ROADS TO THIS COMMUNITY THAT YOU'RE PUTTING IN? BECAUSE IT IS ONLY FOUR

HOMES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE. >> OKAY.

THANK YOU, SIR. >> THANK YOU.

>> ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE PLEASE COME FORWARD.

I NEED ONE PERSON TO SPEAKING AT A TIME.

>> ONE PERSON AT A TIME. IN THE MICROPHONE.

>> MY NAME. >> MARGOT BARNES.

>> YOUR ADDRESS. 4040 SUNRISE BOULVARD.

>> ALL RIGHTY. YOU WANT SOMETHING ELSE BACK UP THERE ON THE SCREEN, IS THAT RIGHT? WE'LL WAIT UNTIL HE SPEAKS. YOU GO AHEAD.

I HAVE THREE DIFFERENT POINTS THAT I THINK ARE VERY IMPORTANT. ONE IS HAVING TO DO WITH THE TRAFFIC JUST LIKE THE GENTLEMAN JUST SAID ON OLEANDER BECAUSE SUNRISE IS ALREADY GETTING VERY CROWDED. THEY ARE ALREADY GOING VERY FAST ON SUNRISE. WHEN I GO TO PULL OUT ON OLEANDER IT TAKES ME A WHILE TO PULL OUT ALREADY.

YOU PUT A 50 UNIT DEVELOPMENT IN THERE THAT WILL TAKE A HECK OF A LONG TIME I KNOW THEY'RE TRYING TO WIDEN THE STREET BUT I CAN'T SEE THAT WORKING VERY WELL. I ALSO WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE PRICE OF THESE HOMES. IS THIS LIKE LOW INCOME, IS IT LIKE I PERSONALLY MOVED OUT OF PORT ST. LUCIE TO GET AWAY FROM ALL OF THAT AND I LIKE THAT MEDIUM DENSITY POPULATION GROWTH THERE AND IT WAS A QUAINT LITTLE TOWN.

AND A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND ME FEEL THE SAME WAY.

AND NOW IT'S BECOMING WE ALSO HAVE ANIMALS THAT ARE COMING OUT SINCE THE CLEARING IS GOING ON AND THERE'S GOPHER TURTLES NEXT DOOR AND THE SURVEYORS HAVE TOLD US SOME OF US ABOUT THE GOPHER TURTLES SO I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY WILL DEAL WITH ALL THAT.

IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THIS IS ALL ABOUT MONEY AND I KNOW FORT PIERCE WILL GET A LOT OF TAX MONEY FOR THIS BUT WHAT ABOUT YOUR CITIZENS THAT'S MY MAIN OBJECTIVE

HERE. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> MY NAME IS PAUL FITZPATRICK I'M AT 4042 SUNRISE BOULVARD.

I'M BORDERING EXACTLY BEHIND THESE 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 AND 20 LOTS RIGHT HERE WHERE IT SAYS THOSE NUMBERS.

I UNDERSTAND THEY ARE AN ENDANGERED WILL THEY RELOCATE THEM AND I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT HOW MUCH SPACE FROM THE BACKDOOR OF THESE HOUSES AND HOW MUCH ROOM IS GOING TO BE BETWEEN THEM AND MY PROPERTY LINE.

THAT TRAVERSE THE CREEK AND THE RIVER WHICH THEY HAVE COME ONTO MY PROPERTY NOW THEY HAVE ACTUALLY CAUGHT SOME BOBCATS AND COYOTES. WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE DENSITY OF THE AMOUNT OF PROPERTIES.

I JUST RECEIVED THIS NOTICE LAST WEEK I MEAN YOU WOULD THINK THAT WE WOULD HAVE RECEIVED NOTICE THEY SAID SOMETHING LIKE IN DECEMBER THEY SENT THESE NOTICES OUT HOW COME I ONLY GOT THEM BEGINNING OF DECEMBER THEY SAID. I JUST GOT THIS LIKE DECEMBER 24TH. SO, HOW COME WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS SOONER? WHAT'S IT GOING TO DO TO SUNRISE BOULVARD. IS THERE GOING TO BE AN ENTRANCE FROM SUNRISE BOULVARD OR IS IT ALL GOING TO BE ON OLEANDER. CAN YOU PUT 50 UNITS ON 12 ACRES, THAT'S TO ME THAT'S JUST WAY TOO MUCH TOO MANY HOUSES ON TOO SMALL A PROPERTY.

SO THESE ARE MY CONCERNS. >> THANK YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE PLEASE COME FORWARD.

[00:50:03]

APPLICANT WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS THAT

HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. >> YES I WROTE DOWN SOME NOTES SO I WILL TRY TO ANSWER THEM.

>> SO IT SEEMS LIKE FIRST QUESTION WAS ABOUT WHERE THE ENTRANCE WAS. I BELIEVE SUNRISE IS ON PAGE NORTH OF OUR SITE RIGHT HERE ON THE SCREEN.

IF YOU SEE DOWN TO THE SOUTH THAT OUR ENTRANCE IS ONLY GOING TO BE UP OLEANDER THAT'S OUR ONLY ENTRANCE ONTO THE SITE. THERE WILL NOT BE ANY OTHER ENTRANCES OFF OF SUNRISE OR ANY OTHER ROAD FOR THE PROJECT. A SECOND QUESTION WAS ABOUT THE TRAFFIC GOING ONTO THE SITE.

WE HAVE TO SUBMIT A TRAFFIC PROJECT IT GETS REVIEWED NOT ONLY BY THE CITY IT'S A THIRD PARTY CONSULTANT BUT ALSO BY ST. LUCIE COUNTY AS WE HAVE TO GET A RIGHT OF WAY PERMIT FROM THEM. IT WAS BOTH APPROVED BY THE THIRD PARTY CONSULTANT AND ST. LUCIE COUNTY DUE TO THE FACT ALSO THAT WE ARE DRASTICALLY REDUCING THE NUMBER OF TRIPS THAT WILL OCCUR FROM US SWITCHINGING THE ZONES. I BELIEVE SOMEONE ELSE MENTIONED THAT OLEANDER RIGHT NOW THE COUNTY IS LOOKING AT EXPANDING IT. THAT'S IF YOU LOOK AT THE SITE LINE YOU CAN SEE HOW LONG OUR DRIVEWAY IS AND HOW BIG THE RIGHT OF WAY IS. THERE WAS OTHERS WITH THE

ABOUT PRICE OF HOMES. >> SO THE HOMES WON'T BE IT'S NOT GOING TO BE AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT.

KIND OF WHAT THEY'RE GEARING TOWARDS IS MORE YOUNG FAMILIES. IF YOU LOOK AT THE MODELS THAT WE PROVIDED I BELIEVE THEY'RE ALL THREE BEDROOM TWO BATH AROUND 1500 TO 1700 SQUARE FEET.

WITH A TWO CAR GARAGE I DON'T HAVE AN EXACT NUMBER ON PRICING AS YOU CAN IMAGINE IT'S ALWAYS GOING UP. IT'S THE WOULD-BE LIKE A STARTER HOME TO YOU KNOW MID-PRICED HOME FOR THE AREA. THERE BIG CONCERN ABOUT THE PROXIMITY TO SUNRISE. HOW CLOSE IS IT TO SUNRISE DO YOU KNOW HOW CLOSE IS THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY TO

SUNRISE? >> I BELIEVE SUNRISE IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DEVELOPMENT TO THE WEST OF US. I COULD BE MISTAKEN? HERE WE GO. SUNRISE IS TO THE WEST.

IS THAT SUNG RISE WHERE YOUR MOUSE WAS JUST AT? RIGHT THERE. CORRECT.

WE WILL HAVE 15 FOOD SETBACK TO THE LOT LINE TO THE HOME SO YOU ARE LOOKING AT 54 FEET WOULD BE THE CLOSEST THAT IT OCCURS. RIGHT NOW IT'S TOTALLY UNIMPROVED THIS BEING CLEARED THAT I UNDERSTAND THAT CORRECT. EXISTING PROPERTY IS JUST EXISTING TREES I THINK TWO PEOPLE BROUGHT UP GOPHER TORTOISES WE ARE REQUIRED TO DID GOPHER TORTOISE SURFACE -- SURVEYS TO RELOCATE THEM SO THAT WILL OCCUR BEFORE ANY TYPE OF CLEARING OCCURS ON THE SITE.

>> IS THAT IN PROCESS? IS THAT SOMETHING YOU DO

CONCURRENTLY WITH THIS? >> SO WE DO A PRELIMINARY GOPHER TORTOISE SURVEY. I DON'T KNOW OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD HOW MANY WE FOUND. BUT WE'RE REQUIRED TO DO IT I BELIEVE WITHIN 90 DAYS OF US STARTING THE CLEARING.

SO IT'S ONLY GOOD FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME SO WE'RE WAITING TO WORK FINAL TO OUR FINAL APPROVALS.

>> IS THERE ANY OTHER THIS IS DONNED FOR MEDIUM DENSITY OR R AND THE TO 3.87 SO THE CONCERN ANY OTHER QUESTIONS

OF THE APPLICANT. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH THIS

[00:55:08]

CLOSES THE PUBLIC HEARING. I WILL ENTERTAIN DISCUSSION.

>> I THINK THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IT'S ALWAYS IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE THE CITIZENS OUT AND I THINK JUST AS A REMINDER THIS IS OUR FIRST READING SO WILL WILL BE A SECOND READING SO IT WILL ALLOW FOR OFTEN MORE INVESTIGATION CONVERSATION AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS TO GO FORWARD SO I JUST WANT TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW THIS IS JUST FIRST READING TONIGHT. I APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED. I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ENTRY POINTS SO JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT ENTRY WE ARE OFF OLEANDER. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY IN AND OUT OF THIS CIRCLE AND SUBDIVISION.

OKAY? >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION.

>> YES, SIR. >> A FEW COMMENTS.

THE DENSITY BEING THE BIGGEST IN THE ZONING.

THERE IS STILL SOME MASSAGING TO DO.

WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO PUT ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS DURING THE SITE PLAN PROCESS MISS MS. EARLY TELLS ME OTHERWISE BUT I'M PRETTY SURE SHE SHARED WITH ME BEFORE.

WHEN I LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS AND I LOOK AT THE EXISTING ZONING I'M TALKING 10 TO 12 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE PER OUR CODE THAT MEANS 140, 144 UNITS POTENTIAL SINGLE STORY LOOKING AT IT. THERE'S ALWAYS TALK OF OLD ANDER AVENUE. I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF DRAINAGE CONCERNS IN THIS AREA THAT ARE BEING ADDRESSED. BUT LOOKING AT IT THROUGH A PURE ZONING PERSPECTIVE I THINK WE'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK FOR A LESS DENSE COMPONENT LESS DENSITY A LOT OF ELEMENTS HERE THAT THE APPLICANT IN US AS A COMMISSION IMPOSING IN HEARING IT IN A WE CAN WORK WITH THEM ON PUTTING ALL THE EFFORTS THERE.

THERE'S HALF ACHER A LITTLE LESS A LITTLE SHY HALF ACRE OR SOMETHING THAT I PERCEIVE AS LITTLE LESS THAN HALF ACHE SORRY YES IT IS A LITTLE MORE DENSE BUT NOT AT ITS UTMOST ELEMENT OF AN R-4.

>> RIGHT. >> COMMISSIONER PERONA.

I AGREE WITH THAT DISCUSSION.

IF NOT THIS THEN WHAT? SOMETIMES THE WHAT CAN BE SOMETHING THAT WILL BE A LITTLE BIT HARDER TO DIGEST.

IN ANTICIPATION OF TAKING A LOOK AT THIS.

I'M HAPPY THAT IT DOES OPEN UP INTO OLEANDER WHICH IS RESHL RESIDENTIAL, INDUSTRIAL NOW AND EVERYTHING ELSE GOING ON. SO I'M SURE THAT THAT ROADWAY WILL BE LOOKED AT IN FUTURE USE YEARS AND BROUGHT UP TO STEED BECAUSE IT MAY BE GETTING CLOSE TO DEGREE DEFICIENT BUT THAT'S NOT OUR CHARGE RIGHT NOW.

THIS DEVELOPMENT MAKES WHOLE LOT OF SENSE WHEN YOU START TALKING ABOUT AN IMPACT OF 12 ACRES AND 50 HOMES I MEAN IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT OUR AVERAGE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY COMPONENT IN THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE YOU KNOW 28.2 ACRES IS A HOME SITE. IT'S A .25 IS ALMOST A LUXURY IN SOME AREAS. SO I DON'T THINK THAT'S OUT OF WHACK. I REALLY LIKE THE FACT THAT IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S IT'S WELL DESIGNED.

IT'S, IT'S SMALLER IN UNIT IT WILL HAVE A VERY SMALL I THINK FOOTPRINT AS FAR AS BEING ABLE TO REACH OUT INTO THAT PART OF THE COMMUNITY AND CAUSE A LOT OF NEGATIVE IMPACTS

[01:00:05]

THE THIS IS BETTER THAN THE THAT.

>> CORRECT. CORRECT.

>> AND SO TO THE GENTLEMAN THAT WANTED TO REQUEST QUESTIONS WE ONLY HAVE ONE BITE AT THE APPLE FOR PRESENTING AND MAKINGS YOUR DIALOGUE HERE DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING. BUT I'M SURE THE APPLICANT WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS FOR YOU AS WELL AS OUR STAFF. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON IS RIGHT, YOU GET ANOTHER BITE AT THE APPLE.

FOR WHEN IT COMES BACK FOR THE NEXT HEARING.

SO, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TRY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. SO WITH THAT IS THERE SOMEONE THAT'S WILLING TO MAKE A MOTION?

>> MADAM MAYOR I VOTE THAT WE APPROVE ORDINANCE.

>> MOTION AND THE SECOND. CALL THE ROLL PLEASE.

>>> ROLL CALL]

THAT'S LANGUAGE IS STILL IN THERE.

THEY DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO EXCUSE AN ABSENCE.

>> WE TALKED ABOUT IT AND I DON'T I JUST DIDN'T

REMEMBER. >> YEAH.

IT WENT BACK AND FORTH. >> ALL THE OTHER ONES YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO TO EXCUSE AN ABSENCE BUT IT HAS

TO BE FOR AN VALID REASON. >> THAT ADVISORY BOARD MAKES

THAT, RIGHT? >> CORRECT.

>> AND ALL OF BUT THERE'S STILL A LIMIT.

EVEN IF IT'S AN EXCUSED ABSENCE YOU CAN STILL NOT MISS OVER A CERTAIN NUMBER. WE'LL KEEP TRACK OF THAT AND I COUNT ON STAFF TO LET ME KNOW.

>> MADAM MAYOR. I REMEMBER WE START TALKING ABOUT SOME SPECIFICS ABOUT VALUABLE PEOPLE BEING ON THESE BOARDS THAT HAVE, THAT TRAVEL TO ANOTHER COUNTRY OUT OF STATE, WHATEVER ELSE LIKE THAT AND BECAUSE WE HAD THAT AUTOMATIC REMOVAL, IF YOU MISSED YOU KNOW THE THREE, IT CAUSED PROBLEMS AND WE PUT IT BACK INTO THE BOARD'S TO BE ABLE TO TO VIEW THAT SITUATION.

PUBLIC. ARE THERE MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WHO WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION PLEASE COME FORWARD AND I THINK IT'S MR. BAY.

WELCOME. >> MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS, DARRYL BAY 1005 KENTUCKY AVENUE.

HAPPY NEW YEAR. I WANT TONIGHT TO THANK THE COMMISSION PARTICULARLY MY DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS FOR HELPING WITH AN ISSUE THAT WE'VE HAD ON 11TH STREET FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS CONSISTS OF POKE SPEEDING AND THERE'S A FOUR-WAY STOP AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMING THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION FOR YEARS AS IF THERE WAS NO STOP

[01:10:04]

SIGNS AND UNLIMITED AMOUNT OF SPEED THAT YOU CAN TAKE THROUGH. THERE I HAVE LIVED HERE FOR 20 YEARS AND I TOLERATED, NOT TOLERATED BUT I'VE BEEN ANNOYED BY THIS FOR YEARS SO FINALLY I REACHED OUT AND TRIED TO SEE WHAT I COULD GET DONE ABOUT IT.

AND TALKING WITH MR. PERONA, MR. JOHNSON, JEREMIAH JOHNSON, THEY PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. A MY WIFE CALLED ME ONE NIGHT IT WAS ON MY WAY HOME SHE SAID BABY THERE'S A POLICE CAR IN OUR YARD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? SO IT DAWNED ON ME THAT THAT WAS THE VEHICLE THAT THE POLICE PUT THERE TO WARN PEOPLE YOU KNOW THAT THEY NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE STOP SIGN SO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

AND ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVED BUT THAT'S THE FIRST STEP IN TERMS OF GETTING I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT. ONE OF THE THINGS I'M NOT SURE THAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THERE'S SEVERAL SCHOOLS AROUND THAT AREA THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS AND THEIR KIDS THAT WALK IN THE STREET TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO SCHOOL. PEOPLE GO THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION LIKE I SAID LIKE IT'S DAYTONA 500 OR SOMETHING. AND I'M AFRAID THAT SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT, PARTICULARLY A KID.

SO, LET'S PAY ATTENTION TO THIS AND LET'S MAKE THIS AN ONGOING PROJECT TO TRY TO REDUCE THE SPEED AND MAKE PEOPLE PAY ATTENTION TO THAT INTERSECTION.

>> THANK YOU, SIR. >> THANK YOU, VERY MUCH.

>> ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION.

PLEASE COME FORWARD. >> GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY.

WELCOME COMMISSIONER DID FOR THE RECORD WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
