>> PLEASE PROCEED. MADAM MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COMMISSION BAR YOU THIS EVENING A PRESENTATION ON BOTH THE PRELIMINARY PLAT AND SITE PLAN.

ASSOCIATED WITH OLEANDE OAKS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

I WILL BE ONE PRESENTATION AND THEN I WILL ASK THE COMMISSION TO VOTE ON THE TWO ITEMS. OLEANDER OAKS APPROXIMATE 12 POINT 129 ACRE.

LOCATED WEST OF OLEANDER AVENUE JUST NORTH OF TUMBLIN KLING ROAD. THE FUTURE LAND USE IS RESIDENTIAL MEDIUM WHICH ALLOWS UP TO 12 UNITS TO THE ACRE. THE CITY COMMISSION JUST APPROVED THE ZONING MAP AMENDMENT WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL FUTURE LAND USE AND THIS IS A PROPOSED PLAN DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL ALLOW UP TO 3.47 DWELLING UNITS.

IT'S RESTRICTED IN ITS DEVELOPMENT.

BEFORE YOU SUMMARY OF THE APPLICATIONS BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS SITE PLAN FOR SOMETIME.

AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A BENEFIT TO THE COMMISSION THE PUBLIC FOR ME TO GO THROUGH THIS.

IT WAS INITIALLY A REQUEST FOR THE ZONING MAP AMENDMENT. TO -- FROM RESIDENTIAL R-4 TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WHICH WAS APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL BY THE PLANNING BOARD AT THE OCTOBER 11TH MEETING. AT THAT SAME MEETING WHEN THE PRELIMINARY PLAT AND THE SITE PLAN WERE ALSO REVIEWED BY THE PLANNING BOARD. AT THAT TIME, THE BOARD DID

[00:15:01]

RECOMMEND FOR APPROVAL. THE PRELIMINARY PLAT HOWEVER THERE WAS CONCERNS WITH REGARD TO THE SITE PLANS.

SPECIFICALLY, THE LOCATION AND THE MAY NOOUF RAABILITY MAY NOOUFABILITY FOR THE BEST STOBLT.

THEY ASKED US TO TABLE THE ITEM AND ALLOW SOME TIME FOR THE APPLICANTS AND THE SCHOOL BOARD AND STAFF TO TALK ABOUT IT AND COME UP WITH A BETTER DESIGN.

AND THAT DID SOME TIME. WE DID MEET WITH THE COUNTY ALSO AND TOOK A COUPLE OF MONTHS, AND THE APPLICANT PRESENTED TO THE PLANNING BOARD THE SITE PLAN WHICH ALSO REQUIRED MODIFICATION TO THE PRELIMINARY PLAT AND BOTH OF THOSE WERE APPROVED BY THE PLANNING BOARD.

THAT WOULD BE DECEMBER 13TH MEETING.

THE FIRST READING OF THIS ZONING MAP AMENDMENT APPROVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION ON THE 3RD AND JUST NOW THE FINAL APPROVL OR SECOND READ FOR THE PLANNING BE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WAS JUST APPROVED. THE ORIGINAL SITE PLAN AND LANDSCAPE PLAN RENDERING OF IT.

WHICH WAS PRESENTED TO THE PLANNING BOARD OCTOBER 11TH MEETING. AND AT THIS POINT WHERE THE PLANNING BOARD HAD ASKED FOR A REDESIGN OF SPECIFICALLY THAT ENTRANCE POINT. WHAT REALLIES THE FOCUSES THE ENTRANCE OFF OF OLEANDER OAKS.

AND SHOWN ABOVE ARE THE TWO AREAS WHERE MODIFICATIONS WERE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THAT.

THERE WAS INITIALLY UNIT 50 RIGHT HERE.

IT SHIFTED TO WHERE THE COMMUNITY AMENITIES ARE PROPOSED. AND IT ALLOWS FOR THE BUS TO DO A TURN AROUND AND EXIT. AND BECAUSE THIS IS A GATED COMMUNITY, THE GATE WILL THEN BE RIGHT UP HERE.

IT'S BEFORE THE GATE. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT DID NOT WANT THEY DON'T ENTER INTO GATED COMMUNITIES.

THIS IS WHERE IT TOOK SOME TIME TO COME UP WITH A DESIGN. BUT IT ALSO ALLOWED THE APPLICANT TO PROVIDE MORE AMENITIES INTO THE DEVELOPMENT WHICHES ALSO SOMETHING RAISED BY BOTH STAFF PRIOR TO PUBLIC HEARING AND REITERATED BY THE PLANNING BOARD. IT RESULTED A NEW SITE PLAN FOR THIS 50 UNIT DEVELOPMENT.

THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF PERIMETER LANDSCAPING.

THERE'S A WETLAND AREA AND ALSO DRY RETENTION AND TREE PRESERVATION AREA. LARGE BUFFER THROUGHOUT IN THE CENTER AREA IS ALSO -- WHICH WILL BE PLANTED A DRY RETENTION AREA THAT WILL SERVE AS A CENTER POINT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE FIRST STAGE THERE WAS NO COMMUNITY POOL. THAT WAS GOING TO BE PROVIDED AND NOW THERE IS. THERE'S OUTDOOR RECREATION.

AREA FOR SITTING AND NICE COMMUNITY PULL.

IT TURNED OUT TO BE MUCH BETTER DESIGN WHEN IT CAME TO ADDRESSING THE ENTRANCE WAY.

THESE ARE THE FEW OF ELEVATION FOR THE DIFFERENT MODEL PROPOSED. THEY ARE ALL THREE BEDROOM TWO BATH UNITS. THE PRELIMINARY PLAT IS SHOWN IN THIS NOW HAS MODIFICATION TO THAT ENTRANCE POINT. WHEN REVIEWING THE PLAT THE CITY CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING STANDARD THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED. ADEQUATE VEHICULAR ACCESS AND TRAFFIC CIRCULATION. THE ADOPTED LEVEL OF SERVICE MUST BE MAINTAINED. AND ALL OTHER COMPREHENSIVE PLANNED POLICY MUST BE ADDRESSED WITH THE PLAT.

ALL OF THOSE HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE APPLICANT.

STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT WITH ONE CONDITION WHICH IS STANDARD CONDITION AND READING FINAL PLAT APPROVAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH 21 SUBDIVISION VIOLATIONS OF THE CITY SHALL BE OBTAINED PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF THE FINAL BUILDING CERTIFICATE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE.

I BELIEVE I SHOULD STOP AT THIS POINT.

AND VOTE ON THIS. OR I COULD GO FURTHER TO WHAT THE SITE PLAN CONDITIONS ARE AND WE CAN ALWAYS GO BACK. IT'S UP TO.

>> LET'S STOP ON THIS AND SEE IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. HOW ABOUT THAT.

ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF? >> NO QUESTIONS.

YOU'RE PROPOSING TO GO ON WITH THE NEXT.

WE HAVE TO HAVE PUBLIC HEARING.

>> I COULD CONTINUE THROUGH. >> IS THERE AYOU WANT HELP ME. I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU

PRELIMINARY PLAT. >> BECAUSE THE SAME ACTION WILL BE REQUESTED THE COMMISSION WHEN IT COMES TO SITE PLAN. BUT I CAN STOP NOW AT THE PRELIMINARY PLAT IF YOU LIKE.

WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS SEVERAL TIMES.

ONE OF THE BIG POINTINGS IS THE FACT THAT YOU'RE DEALING WITH ALMOST 13 ACRINGS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT 50 RESIDENTIAL LOT. MOST OF THE NEIGHBORS ARE MORE DENSE. SOMEONE PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT AND WORK BETWEEN THE CITY, THE SCHOOL BOARD AND EVERYBODY ELSE AND I'M PROUD OF THE WAY THIS THING TURNED OUT. WE MAY NOT BE SAYING A LOT UP HERE. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF MOVEMENT. ALL THE WHEELS ARE SPINNING AND EVERYTHING ELSE LIKE THAT.

WE HAD THE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS.

ON DIFFERENT THINGS FROM WILDLIFE ACCESS TO OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS AND WE'VE ADDRESSED -- AND THE ACCESS TO UNTIL OLEANDER. WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT.

I DIDN'T WANT THE PUBLIC TO THINK THAT WE JUST SIT HERE AND JUST TAKE OUR RUBBER STAMPS OUT AND DO THIS TYPE OF THINGS. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF MOVEMENT. I'M PROUD OF THIS DEVELOPMENT. IT'S THE WORK OF MANY DIFFERENT HANDS AND MANY DIFFERENT MINDS.

PHASE 1-A THIS THE PART OF APPLICANT SUBMITTAL AND BACKGROUND IN THE AGENDA. AND IT'S A FULL SET OF PLAN TO PROVIDE DETAILS FOR SHEET.

EACH OF THESE SHEETS ARE PART OF THE OVERALL CIVIL PLANS THAT WERE SUBMITTED THIS WITH APPLICATION.

IN THE AREA THAT IS SHADED ARE THE AREAS THAT ARE GOING TO BE COMING IN SUBSEQUENT APPROVALS WHICH WILL THEN ALSO BE AMENDMENTED AND REINSTATED TO THE ADOPTING ORDINANCE. JUST TO GO OVER SOME OF THE USES THAT ARE PROPOSED FOR PHASE 1-A.

WITHIN THE HUB AREA THERE'S GOING TO BE A NUMBER OF USES FOR THOSE INTERESTED OR TALENTED SURFERS BUT THOSE THAT JUST WANTED TO COME AS THE TOURIST DRAW.

THERE WILL SURF WATER SHOP AND WATER SPORT SHOP, STORAGE, CHANGING ROOMS, A SCHOOL FOR SURFERS, THERE WILL BE FOOD AND BEVERAGE. I WILL SHOW YOU IN A FEW.

OUTDOOR TERRACE AND BAR, LAWN TERRACE AND ALSO AMPHITHEATER. SHOWN ARE ELEVATION AND RENDERING FOR THIS HUB WHICH IS UNIQUE IN IT'S DESIGN.

AND THE WAY THE APPLICANT HAS DESIGNED IT.

THE ARCHITECTURE HAS A LOOK AND FEEL AS THOUGH THE BUILDING WERE A WAVE. IT'S CREATIVE.

AND AGAIN NUMBER OF THE USES PROPOSED YOU CAN SEE IN THE DIFFERENT LEVELS. I WILL GO THROUGH EACH ONE OF REALLY FOR ALL OF US HERE.

RESIDENTS AND TOURIST. THIS IS THE HUB.

THIS IS WHERE THE SURF POOL WOULD BE.

AND THIS IS GRADE. YOU SEE THE USES PROPOSED AT GRADE LEVEL WHICH INCLUDE THE SHOP.

STORAGE AREAS. USES FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC WHICH INCLUDES SOME FOOD AND BEVERAGE AREAS.

SOME OF THE SURF SCHOOL CHANGING ROOMS, PLACES FOR STAFF, REST ROOMS AND YOU CAN START TO SEE HOW IT THEN CONNECTS INTO THIS REALLY INTERESTING FEATURE.

WITH THE LAWN AND TERRACE. LEVEL 3 WHICH IS OPEN TO THE SKY PROVIDES FOR THIS AMPHITHEATER.

BREWERY AREA AND PLACES FOR PEOPLE O CONCREGATE AND ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS.

GO INTOIK THE LA NYE. THE ARCHITECTURE IS MUCH MORE IT HAS A MODERN FEEL. I WILL GO INTO EACH OF THOSE. WHAT IS UNIQUE IS THE LANDSCAPING. BECAUSE THEY WANT TO CREATE A COASTAL ENVIRONMENT THE EL MEANTS OF DESIGN INCORPORATED THE SPECIES OF PLANTS AND TREES AND THAT WILL CONTINUE ON THROUGH THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT.

GOING THROUGH EACH OF THE LEVELS THEY PROVIDED THE GROUND LEVEL AND THEN A ROOFTOP.

THOSE WILL BE RENTED OUT AS THOUGH THEY WERE HOTELED.

>> I'VE TAKEN REVIEW COMMITTEE.

REVIEWED ALL OF THIS. CHANGES WERE MADE.

AND TRC DID APPROVE IT. STANDARD TREE MITIGATION FOR CERTIFIED LETTER OF COMPLETION.

TO INCORPORATE WITH APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE REGULATIONS FOR THE SURF POOL AND THE PDV TO BE IN THE ORDINANCE.

PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDED APPROVAL ON NOVEMBER 11TH.

ACTION BEFORE THE CITY COMMISSION TO APPROVE WITH STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION THE APPROVE WITH ANY AMENDMENTS TO THE RECOMMENDATION OR TO DISAPPROVE.

I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AS WELL AS THE

APPLICANT. >> ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF?

>> MADAM MAYOR? >> YES.

>> JUST A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

MAYBE THE APPLICANT MAY BE SUITED TO ANSWER.

IT'S REGARDING THE TRAFFIC STUDY AND TRAFFIC IMPACT THAT ARE WITHIN THIS AREA HERE.

IN THE APPLICATION WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE TO STAFF?

>> THE TRAFFIC IMPACT STATEMENT AND STUDY WAS DONE INITIALLY WITH THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENTS.

ITS APPROVED AT THE TIME WHEN LITTLE LAKES COMMUNITIES APPROVED. IT WAS TREATED AS THOUGH

[00:50:04]

DRI. WE LOOKED AT ALL IMPACT WHAT THE OVERALL GROWTH COMPLETION WOULD BE.

THIS THE TRAFFIC IMPACT HAVE ALREADY TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT BUT OF COURSE THE COUNTY AND OUR CITY ENGINEER AND THE CONSULTANT BECAUSE THEY DID PROVIDE SITE SPECIFIC STUDY AND THEY WILL DO THAT WITH EACH PHASE.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF?

>> I WOULD LIKE FOR THE APPLICANT TO COME FORWARD PLEASE. OBVIOUSLY STATE YOUR NAME AND WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE. BUT WE WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW

WHO YOU ARE. >> LEE DOBIN.

I'M REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT AND I HAVE THE OWNER/DEVELOPER AS WELL AS THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM.

I WOULD LIKE TO DO A BRIEF POWERPOINT PRESENTATION JUST TO SHOW YOU SOME OF THE IMAGES OF THE BUILDING

PREPARED BY THE ARCHITECTS. >> I CAN DO IT FOR YOU IF

YOU LIKE. >> DO I HAVE TO TURN

SOMETHING ON? >> THERE, WE GO.

>> YOU ALREADY KNOW WHERE IT IS.

THERE'S PHASE ONE. >> THIS THE CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN. ULTIMATELY BEYOND PHASE ONE WILL INCLUDE COMMERCIAL AREA AS WELL AS RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY AND MULTIFAMILY.

THE IDEA THE COMMERCIAL TO HAVE FACILITIES ON SITE WHERE PEOPLE TOURIST CAN SPEND TIME ON SITE WITH THE SHOPPING AND RESTAURANT AND COFFEE SHOPS.

AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. THIS THE LOOKING AT PHASE 1-A AND 1-B. THERE'S A FUTURE HOTEL PLANNED FOR THE NORTHEAST OF THE PARK AND SMALLER HOTEL TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE SURF PARK.

THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW LOOKING NORTH OF THE SURF GARDEN AND YOU LOOK UP THE MAIN STREET KNOWN AS THE STRAND WHERE THE SHOPPING AND RETAIL WILL BE IN PHASE ONE-B. THAT'S AT THE BOTTOM OF THE

SCREEN. >> THERE'S A CLOSE UP OF THE WAVE PARK. YOU CAN SEE THE BIG HOTEL TO NORTHEAST AND SMALLER HOTEL TO NORTHWEST.

>> IN THE LOOKING OUT I BELIEVE FROM THE HUB BUILDING LOOKING AT THE SURF BAR.

NOW WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE HUB BUILDING UP CLOSE.

THIS CHECKING IN. THIS WHERE THE GUESTS WOULD COME IN. THIS WOULD CONTAIN CHANGING ROOMS CHECK-IN. THE SURF SCHOOL.

SURF SHOP AND BAR & GRILL ON THE TOP FLOOR.

AND THERE YOU CAN SEE THE DESIGN THAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT WITH THE ROOF OF THE FIRST FLOOR LOOKING LIKE A WAVE AS IT GOES OFF TO THE RIGHT.

THAT'S LOOKING ACROSS THE LAGOON AND LA NYES.

THERE'S THE HOTEL TO THE LEFT.

THIS THE LOOKING OUT FROM THE ROOFTOP BAR & GRILL AT SUNSET LOOKING OUT AT THE WAVE PARK.

>> THERE'S A HOTEL TO THE LEFT.

AERIAL VIEW OF THE HUB WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE GREEN ON THE ROOF. IN THE LOOK AT THE BUNGALOWS. THAT'S ALTERNATIVE IF PEOPLE WANTED TO STAY IN THOSE AS OPPOSED TO HOTEL, HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE SPACE FOR A FAMILY, THEY COULD DO THAT.

>> HERE'S THE DESIGN OF THE HOTEL.

THAT'S A LOOK AT THE CHECK-IN SIDE OF THE HOTEL.

>> THIS IS THE COMMERCIAL STREETIST TELLING YOU ABOUT.

THIS IS IN 1-B. RESTAURANT AND COFFEE SHOP AND RETAIL FOR PEOPLE TO VISIT WHEN THEY ARE NOT

ACTUALLY IN THE SURF PARK. >> THE IDEA TO MAKE THIS AN ENTIRE DESTINATION. IT'S DESIGNED TO BE WALKABLE AND CONNECTED THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.

WITH THAT WE'RE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU

MIGHT HAVE. >> ANY QUESTIONS OF THE

[00:55:05]

APPLICANT? >> FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM AND THE APPLICANT FOR A PHENOMENAL PROJECT. WITHOUT A DOUBT THIS IS GAME CHANGER WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.

I'M EXCITED THAT YOU'RE HERE.

I SEE SOME SURFING PALS IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WILL BE THERE MORE THAN ME. THEY ARE OUT THERE.

BACK TO TRAFFIC. WE'RE PHASING THIS PROJECT.

WE'RE LOOKING HUE WE BRING IT INTO PLAY.

TALK TO ME ABOUT THE ELEMENTS THAT HAVE TO BE IMPLEMENTED OVERTIME AS THE PROJECT IS -- COMES TO LIFE.

I ACTUALLY REPRESENT THIS PROJECT.

VILLAGES AT MIDWAY WHICH SURROUNDS THIS PROJECT TO THE NORTH AND WEST. AND LTC RANCH DOING THE RESIDENTIAL ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF MIDWAY BEING DEVELOPED BY GREEN POINT. ALL THREE OF THOSE PROJECTS IN THEIR APPROVALS HAVE REQUIREMENTS FOR WIDEN AND IMPROVING MIDWAY ROAD. IF ANY ONE OF THEM CAME FORWARD FIRST THEY HAVE AN OBLIGATION FOR MIDWAY ROAD.

THEY GET ROAD IMPACT FEE CREDITS FOR CONTRIBUTING ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY AND FOR DOING IMPROVEMENT.

FOR ALL -- ALL THREE OF THOSE PROJECTS MIDWAY ROAD HAS TO BE TAPERED OFF TO THE WEST.

AS THE PART OF WILLOW LAKES WE'RE DOING A LAND SWAP WITH THE COUNTY ON PROPERTY WHERE WE GIVE THEM RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR MIDWAY ROAD. IT CONNECTS TO MIDWAY.

THAT WILL BE THE MAIN CONNECTION.

IT WILL HAVE TO BE IMPROVED. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF WORK LOOKING AT GORDIE ROAD AND THAT INTERSECTION AND HOW THAT WILL WORK. HOW THE CONNECTIONS WORK FOR OUR PROJECT. AS WELL AS FOR YOU KNOW CONNECTING THROUGH TO VILLAGES AT MIDWAY.

IT'S ACTUALLY A LITTLE BIT OFF OF THIS PICTURE.

MAYBE YOU GO BACK. >> YOU CAN BARELY SEE IT THERE. THAT'S GORDIE ROAD.

THANK YOU. SNAKES ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY AND CONNECTS FROM THE SUBSTATION.

WE'RE OBLIGATED TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO MIDWAY ROAD.

AND YOU KNOW THE ENGINEERS HAVE BEEN WORKING ON COORDINATING THAT FOR QUITE SOMETIME.

AT SOME POINT I KNOW THERE'S A BREAK IN THE MEDIAN.

IS THAT GOING TO SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS RIGHT UP FRONT

OR LATER IN PHASING? >> THE OTHER PROJECTS DON'T

MOVE FORWARD. >>

>> IT WILL BE SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION RIGHT UP FRONT.

>> THE TRAFFIC COUNTS WARRANT THAT.

>> I BELIEVE THAT'S RIGHT. >> I FIGURED SO AND BASED ON SPEED EASTBOUND TRAFFIC ON MIDWAY ROAD JUST BASED ON THAT ALONE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CITIZENS ARE PROTECTED IN THAT INTERSECTION.

LOGISTICAL QUESTION. WE TALK ABOUT PHASE ONE AND THE WAVE POOL. LET'S SAY THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT EVENT AS FAR AS WEATHER.

DOES THIS POOL OVERFLOW? ARE THERE PARAMETERS THAT SOMETHING HAPPENS IN A SIGNIFICANT RAIN EVENT?

>> WHAT HAPPENS WITH THAT. >> MAYBE OUR ENGINEER COULD

HAPPEN WITH THAT. >> I THINK ABOUT STORMWATER SYSTEM AND ON SITE STORAGE SYSTEMS THEN I THINK ABOUT DISCHARGES OFF SITE. IT WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT EVENT BUT SOMETHING THAT CAME TO MY MIND.

>> TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION WE COORDINATE WITH THE WAVE GARDEN COMPANY WHO HAS ONE IN OTHER AREAS.

ANSWER YOUR QUESTION WE ARE COORDINATING WITH THEM.

THEY ARE PRETTY SURE THAT JUST GIVEN THE SURFACE AREA OF THE POOL THAT YOU KNOW, ENOUGH WATER JUST EVAPORATES

[01:00:07]

NATURALLY. IF THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT RAIN EVENT THAT YOU HAVE AN OVERFLOW SYSTEM THAT GOES .

THE POOL WATER IT'S ALMOST DRINKABLE.

IT'S ALL RIGHT POTABLE WATER.

WE WOULDN'T NEED TO TAKE ANY LIKE SPECIAL FACTOR IN BEFORE IT GOES INTO THE STORMWATER SYSTEM.

>> THAT WOULD BE MY NEXT QUESTION.

>> EXECUTE ME. JUST ONE SECOND.

>> YOU WERE SWORN IN; WEREN'T YOU?

>> THE WHOLE ROW THERE. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT. ANY OTHER ELEMENTS.

YOU DOING THE SITE DESIGN. ANY OTHER ELEMENTS THAT OF CONSERVATION OF LAND THAT YOU HAD TO LOOK INTO IN THIS AREA. IT'S BEEN THERE FOR QUITE A LONG TIME. THE POND HAS BEEN THERE.

IS THAT PART OF YOUR PROPERTY OR FDOT POND?

>> THAT'S PART OF OUR PROPERTY.

>> AND SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF ON SITE

RETENTION. >> OUR STORMWATER SYSTEM DOES FLOW INTO THE LAKE. THAT EVENTUALLY FALLS INTO ONE OF THE CANALS TO THE NORTH.

>> IF YOU TALK ABOUT SLAMATION IN THE LARGE BODY OF WATER. HOW DO YOU MAKE UP THE WATER

LOST? >> FROM THE LAKE ACTUALLY.

THIS THE ALL ACCORDING WITH THE WAVE GARDEN DESIGN TEAM.

THERE'S GOING TO BE A PIPE SYSTEM THAT CONNECTS TO LAKE THAT BRINGS WATER INTO THE WAVE GARDEN POOL.

YOU SHOULDN'T NEED IT. >> YEAH.

>> EXCELLENT. THANK YOU.

>> YOU SAID ALMOST DRINKABLE.

I THINK THAT'S WHAT I HEARD. I HAVE TO ASK THE QUESTION.

WE'RE IN SOUTH FLORIDA. WAVE POOL, CHLORINE, GOOD BUT THEN YOU SAID ALMOST DRINKABLE WATER.

THE WAVE GARDEN DESIGN TEAM NAY PROVIDE A WATER ALLITY REPORT THAT WE HAVEN'T SUBMITTED THAT TO YOU.

IT'S JUST -- IT'S NOT CHLORINE.

THEY HAVE GUIDELINES. ONE OF THE THINGS ADDRESSED BY THAT. ONE OF THE THINGS WE LEARNED. CHLORINE DOESN'T WORK WELL IN THE WAVE POOL. WAVE ACTION DISANTICIPATES THE COLOR LIEN. YOU HAVE TO DUMP SO MUCH CHLORINE IN ONE END TO KEEP THE CHLORINE LEVELS YOU DON'T WANT THAT MUCH CHLORINE NEXT TO SURFERS.

THEY HAVE THEIR OWN SYSTEM WHICH DOESN'T USE CHLORINE.

USES OTHER CHEMICALS AND CLEANING SYSTEMS TO KEEP THE WATER CLEAN. AS A PART OF THE SURF POOL GUIDELINES WHICH WERE APPROVED PURSUANT TO STATE STATUTES, WATER HAS TO BEEN CLEANED AND REPORT GIVEN TO CITY AND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO CONFIRM THAT THE WATER IS CLEAN AND THERE'S NOT DANGEROUS LEVEL OF BACTERIA OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

THERE'S OTHER WAYS TO CLEAN WATER OTHER THAN CHLORINE.

>> I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE CHLORINE.

MY INITIAL QUESTION HOW WILL BE CONTROL THE MOSQUITO POPULATION THAT'S ALREADY OUT THERE.

I KNOW THAT AREA. >> IN THE WAVE POOL IN

PARTICULAR? >> IF YOU HAVE A BIG POOL OF WATER; I KNOW WE HAVE A POND OF HERE THAT WE GET WATER FROM. THEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GUESSES GOING. IN THE EVENING TO THE RESTAURANTS. DO -- JUST SOME CONSIDERATIONS. WE'RE IN SOUTH FLORIDA.

I JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE CHANCE OF MOSQUITOES.

>> THE LAKE AND THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM WITHIN THE

[01:05:02]

COMMUNITIES AS THE WHOLE THOSE WOULD BE TREATED USING MORE TRADITIONAL MOSQUITO CONTROL METHODS.

>> THANK YOU. >> GOOD POINT, THOUGH.

>> COMMISSIONER PERONA. >> I THINK WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT THIS THREE YEARS AGO.

AND FOUND OUT THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

ITS A SWIMMING POOL. YOU HAD TO HAVE A FLAT BOTTOM. YOU HAD TO DO THIS OR THAT.

THAT NEVER WORKED. FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU AND YOUR TEAM ON WORKING WITH THE STATE OF FLORIDA IN CHANGING ALL OF THAT.

I WILL SAY THAT THERE'S VERY FEW COMMUNITIES THAT ARE CONSIDERING WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE TONIGHT WITH -- I THINK THERE'S A DOZEN IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS PRETTY LARGE. I HAVE A QUESTION.

I'M A NONSURFER. IN THINKING ABOUT.

FLORIDA SURFERS SURF FROM EAST TO WEST.

AND WESTERN COAST SURFERS GO FROM WEST TO EAST.

THIS GOES FROM NORTH TO SOUTH.

IS THERE A DESIGN IN THAT OR DID IT JUST FIT THE PROPERTY

THAT WAY? >> IT'S PROBABLY A LOT OF SUN ISSUES THAT WORK OUT WELL.

IS IT PART OF THE DESIGN? IS IT JUST FITTING IN A

SQUARE? >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT MAY HAVE GONE INTO CONSIDERATION.

>> MY SON WAS A TURFER WHEN HE WAS A KID.

WHEN IT COMES TO WATER TEMPERATURE ALL THAT STUFF MATTER. HE SPENT MORE TIME DOING THAT THAN THE HOMEWORK. THIS QUESTION WAS FOR HIM.

>> MADAM MAYOR. >> I WILL ECHO THE CONGRATULATIONS ON THIS. I'VE BEEN ON THE COMMISSION A LITTLE BIT OVER A YEAR. NOW WE'RE AT THIS PROCESS WHERE WE ARE. MOVING FORWARD WITH IT.

MY CONCERN AND QUESTION MORE TOWARD THE ACTUAL PLEDGE OF THE BUILDING OF IT; RIGHT? YOU MAY ANSWER THIS OR MAYBE STAFF CAN HELP WITH THIS. THIS IS PHASE ONE.

LARGE PROJECT; RIGHT? HAVE WE LOOKED AT OR DECIDED ON CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AND THE FIRMS INVOLVED.

I'M MORE CONCERNED WITH UNDERSTANDING THE ECONOMIC IMPACT LOCALLY AND EMPLOYMENT OF PEOPLE THROUGHOUT FT. PIERCE ST. LUCIE COUNTY FOR THESE TYPE OF GREAT OPPORTUNITIES AND JOBS.

>> THEY ARE TALKING TO FIRMS ABOUT CONSTRUCTION NOW.

I DON'T KNOW IF THOSE DECISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE.

THERE WILL BE LOCAL FIRMS AND BUSINESSES INVOLVE IN NOT JUST THE CONSTRUCTION BUT LATER PHASES OF WHAT GOES INTO THIS. PREVIOUS APPROVAL HAVE GOTTEN LOTS OF CALLS FROM LOTS OF DIFFERENT PARTY INTERESTED IN BEING PART OF THIS ONE CAPACITY OR ANOTHER. INVOLVED IN CONSTRUCTION.

INVOLVED HAVING A BUSINESS IN THERE.

I'VE BEEN PASSING THIS ALONG TO CLIENT.

I THINK IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN WHAT WILL BE IN THERE.

DEFINITELY A LOCAL COMPONENT.

>> ARE YOU MEASURING -- WILL YOU BE MEASURING THE -- THAT RESULT OF WHAT IS DONE LOCAL EMPLOYMENT.

I THINK THIS IS A GREAT CASE STUDY FOR FT. PIERCE.

I THINK THIS MAKES FOR GREAT STORY AND THE GREAT DATA FOR US IN THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE TO BE ABLE TO MEASURE AND UNDERSTAND IN IMPACT ON OUR LOCAL ECONOMY ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO EMPLOYMENT AND JOBS AND THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE PUT INTO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.

WILL YOU BE MEASURING THIS THAT?

>> IF NOT I WANT TO GO ON RECORD.

THAT'S WHY I BRING IT OUT. IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME.

I THINK THAT WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THAT.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT HOW DO WE INCREASE WAGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR LOCAL PEOPLE THAT DO LABOR WORK.

AND I SEE THIS AS PROVIDING A GREAT BENEFIT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE HERE AND SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS IF WE ARE NOT, I WOULD ASK AND WILL BE LACKING FOR THAT AS THE MEASURED OUTCOME TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT AND TRACKING THAT DATA.

>> >> I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING

WE COULD MEASURE AND TRACK. >> THANK YOU.

DO YOU KNOW OF THE OTHER WAVE GARDENS, THAT DO THEY HAVE THE SAME KIND OF HOTEL ARRANGEMENT AND THE SAME KIND OF SHOPS AND THE WHOLE VILLAGE KIND OF --

[01:10:03]

>> I'VE SEEN SEVERAL ONLINE THAT DID NOT.

THEY WERE STAND ALONE. ARE THERE OTHER ONES THAT

HAVE THAT TOO? >> THIS SEEMS TO BE PRETTY SELF-CONTAINED. I GUESS MAYBE YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO OFF PROMPT TO GO TO GROCERY STORE, PERHAPS.

THAT'S ABOUT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO.

YOU HAVE EVERYTHING ELSE THERE.

>> THIS ANCHORS THE REST OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND HELPS MAKE THE REST OF THE DEVELOPMENT POSSIBLE.

>> RIGHT. RIGHT.

>> WHAT A WONDERFUL ATTRIBUTE TO HAVE IN THIS AREA BECAUSE ALTHOUGH WE HAVE SURFING IN THIS AREA THAT WE WON'T -- THIS WOULD BE WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL OF SURFING BECAUSE IT WOULD 365 DAYS.

I WON'T BE THERE. BUT I MIGHT BE THERE

WATCHING. >> I SAW A NUMBER OF RETAIL PARCELS. HOW MANY RETAIL AND THAT WILL BE OPEN TO HOW THEY FIGURED OUT WHO WOULD DO RETAIL. THEY MAY HAVE A SMALL

GROCERY STORE. >> THE -- OVERHEAD DEVELOPMENT MENTIONED SETS A CERTAIN SQUARE FOOTAGE OF RETAIL. I DON'T HAVE THAT IN FRONT

OF ME. >> THERE WAS A PICTURE THAT

HAD THAT. >> 99,000 SQUARE FEET IN

PHASE 1-A. >> THAT WOULD BE SUBDIVIDED

IN ONE DIFFERENT PARCEL. >> A LITTLE BIT MORE.

THERE'S SUMMARY ONE MORE. >> OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR RECREATION. YOU HAVE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOUSING WHETHER SINGLE FAMILY, CONDOMINIUMS ALL THROUGHOUT THERE. EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED THROUGH SIDEWALK SYSTEM. THERE'S OPPORTUNITY FOR A

GROCERY STORE OF SOME. >> THIS IS JUST PHASE ONE.

THIS IS 1-A AND 1-B. THERE'S RETAIL ALONG THE STRAND THAT COMES WITH PHASE 1-B.

AS WELL WITH THE HOTELS. >> THEN THE RESIDENTIAL.

>> FOR THE OVERALL APPROVAL BROKEN INTO VARIOUS COMPONENT LIKE SHOPPING CENTER, ENTERTAINMENT.

NEIGHBORHOOD CAFES. FAST FOOD.

YOU ADD IT ALL UP. IT'S ABOUT 600,000 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL ENTERTAINMENT SHOPPING

RESTAURANTS. >> MAYBE 500.

>> GORDIE ROAD GOES OFF MIDWAY.

THAT'S THE INTEREST. THAT GOES OFF OKEECHOBEE ROAD. DO THEY CONNECT?

>> THEY WERE GOING TO CONNECT AT ONE TIME.

AND THEN FOR WHATEVER REASON ITS DECIDED THEY WOULD NOT CONNECT. THERE'S THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH. THAT'S THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. I THINK WHEN THAT WAS TAKEN BY THE DISTRICT, THAT BROKE THAT CONNECTION FOREVER.

RIGHT NOW IT DEBT ENDS ON OUR PROPERTY.

THEN THERE'S AN EASEMENT THAT CONTINUES INTO THE

MIDWAY PROPERTY. >> PRIVATE EASEMENT.

THE ROAD -- THE COUNTY ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY DOESN'T PUNCH

THROUGH. >> IF THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS. I WILL SEE IF THERE'S ANY OTHER MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC OR TEAM WHO WOULD WANT TO ADDRESS US. IS THERE ANY OTHER MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE?

>> PLEASE COME FORWARD. >> SEEING NO ONE, ALL RIGHTY. DO I HAVE ANY LAST WORD BEFORE I CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING?

>> NO LAST WORDS FOR ME OR THE TEAM.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARINGS.

COMMISSIONERS? MADAM MAYOR.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A FEW COMMENTS.

I'VE SAID IT ALL. THIS IS JUST A PIVOTAL

[01:15:01]

PROJECT IN THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE.

IT'S AT THE SOUTHERN MOST BOUNDARIES.

IT'S EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE WITH I-95 CORRIDOR.

THERE'S GOING TO BE THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT.

THERE'S A TOURISM COMPONENT THAT HAS AN IMMEDIATE POSITIVE IMPACT WITHIN THE ENTIRE TREASURE COAST TO BE

HONEST WITH YOU. >> THIS IS JUST A PHENOMENAL OPPORTUNITY. THE APPLICANT AND LAND OWNER HAS BEEN AROUND HERE FROM FOR A LONG TIME.

WAITING TO BRING THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY INTO SOME SORT OF DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION. AND HERE WE ARE TONIGHT.

IT'S EXCITING. THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY HERE. THERE'S A GOOD PHASED APPROACH TO IT. WHICH IS WHAT I'M VERY ENCOURAGED ABOUT. AND THE CONDITIONS YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT COMMISSIONER JOHNSON.

YOU KNOW, AND JUST LOOKING WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS AND THE ECONOMIC IMPACT THEY PLAY RIGHT INTO THIS.

THE REASON I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD OF MIDWAY ROAD IS UNTIL THIS YEAR THE END OF LAST YEAR.

I WILL GIVE IT A CREDIT OF 2021.

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A CLOUD OVER MIDWAY ROAD WHEN WILL IT BE DONE AND WHEN IS NEXT --

>> I COULDN'T BELIEVE YOU BROUGHT UP CONSTRUCTION ON

MIDWAY ROAD. >> I WENT THERE.

I DID. WE'RE TURNING THE CAR.

MIDWAY ROAD HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN IMPORTANT ROAD.

IT'S AN EAST WEST CONNECTOR. HERE WITH TODAY.

THAT'S WHO I ASK THE QUESTIONS.

IT'S HUGE. I WILL ADD THE COMMENT TO THAT. ABSOLUTELY IT'S GROWTH IT'S OPPORTUNITY. AND I'M EXCITED FOR FT. PIERCE. I THINK IT ALSO SIGNALIZES TO OUR PARTNERS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE OUR WORKFORCE IS PREPARED FOR THESE OPPORTUNITIES. AND THAT'S THE ROAD I WANTED TO GO DOWN; RIGHT? BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS IT THE BUILDING OF THIS FACILITY, IT'S ALSO THE MAINTENANCE OF THIS FACILITY. SOMETHING WILL BREAK; RIGHT? AND YOU WILL NEED REPAIR AND THEN THERE'S ALSO THE MAINTENANCE DAILY OF THIS PLACE AS WELL AS THE WORKFORCE THAT'S GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO RUN THIS STAFFING THIS PLACE. AND I THINK AS WE LOOK FURTHER DOWN THE LINE AS THEY BRING IN RESIDENCY AT SOME COMPONENT OF PEOPLE WHO MAY LIVE THERE.

THAT MAY ALSO LOOK AT SOME OF OUR VOTING LINES AND POPULATION AS WE LOOK AT THIS TEN YEARS DOWN THE LINE. OBVIOUSLY THERE'S SOME PEOPLE LIVING THERE PERHAPS AS FAR AS RESIDECY.

ITS A LOT OF EXCITING COMPONENTS AS I LOOK AT IT.

IT'S A GREAT AD FOR THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE.

THIS IS ANNEXED INTO THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE.

THAT'S WHAT EXCITING FOR US AND ME TO BE A PART OF THIS PROCESS LOOKING AT THIS TONIGHT.

>> AND A GREAT WATER CUSTOMER.

>> I KNOW THE COMMISSIONER WANTINGS TO SPEAK.

YOU TALK ABOUT JOBS. I FORGET TO MENTION EARLIER THE LEVEL OF JOBS YOU KNOW AND THE DIFFERENT ASPECT OF JOBS. YOU TALK ABOUT SCIENTIST.

CHEMIST AND ENGINEERS JUST TO OPERATE THE PARK.

THIS IS NOT AN EASY TASK WITHOUT A DOUBT.

THE ONLY SPECULATION THAT I KNOW OF THAT IS CLOSE -- LIVES IN ORLANDO. THAT HAS SUCH HIGH PAYING TECHNICAL JOBS TO HANDLE A FACILITY LIKE THIS.

YOU KNOW THEN THE MECHANIC THAT KEEP IT OPERATING EVERY DAY. VERY IMPORTANT.

>> THEN YOU HAVE ALL THE SURFERS WHO COME.

>> OF COURSE. ALL THE SURFERS.

>> WE ALL HAD TO DESCRIBE WHAT FT. PIERCE MEANT TO US AND TRY TO SAY WHO WE ARE. WHAT WE DO.

WE DO A GOOD JOB WITH HISTORY AND ALL THE THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED. ONE THING WE'VE KIND OF FAILED WITH AND I'M NOT SAYING SURFER ARE ALL YOUNG.

THE YOUTH OF COMMUNITY. WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE THAT'S

EXCITING? >> I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN.

ALL MY FOUR CHILDREN WENT SOMEWHERE ELSE.

THIS THE MAJOR STEP THAT HELPS DEFINE WHAT THAT IS.

YOU WILL FIND SOMETHING HERE.

I GOT A GOOD JOB HERE. I CAN GO SURFINGFULLY TIME I WANT. A LOT OF TIME, I THINK IN THE GRAND SCALE OF THINGS. THIS WILL HELP WITH RETENTION. THIS HELP BUILD WHOSE WE ARE. IT WILL CHANGE THE WAY WE DEFINE OURSELVES. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HANDFUL.

[01:20:02]

A DOZEN IN THE WHOLE WORLD. IT'S PRETTY REMARKABLE.

IT DOES REACH MORE THAN JUST THE YOUTH OF THE COMMUNITY.

LONG BORDERS OUT THERE. I MAY HAVE TO GET A LONG

BOARD. >> THIS IS SCHOOL FOR OLD GUYS AND THE LONG BOARD. I THINK IN WHAT WE TRY TO ACHIEVE HERE. COMMISSION LEVEL IS TRY TO NOT ALWAYS APPROVE THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND OVER

AGAIN. >> WE'RE TRYING TO HAVE A FULL COMPLIMENT OF JUST AMENITIES GOING ON.

I THINK WE'VE REALLY STEPPED THAT UP OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. WE HAVE STATE OF THE ART PORT FACILITY RIGHT NOW. AND OUR TOURIST HOTELS, AND STUFF COMING DOWN THE LINE. ALL THIS STUFF IS REALLY LARGE. AND IT'S GETTING TO BE A BIG PART OF WHO WE ARE. I'M HAPPY TO MAKE THAT

CHANGE. >> YOU KNOW, TO TAG ON THAT.

ONE LAST TIME. WE JUST APPROVED A 50 HOME DEVELOPMENT. FOR THE DEVELOPERS OUT THERE, I THINK THIS IS A TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO BRING HOMEOWNERSHIP TO FT. PIERCE.

BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE WILL COME HERE, LIKE IT AND BUY A HOME, WE HOPE. THIS IS I THINK TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE HIGH PAYING JOBS AND HIGH-PAYING PEOPLE THAT WILL RELOCATE AND COME TO OUR AREA FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY. %-RH OUR INFIELD CHALLENGES AND SQUARING OFF SOME OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES AND SOME OF THESE AREAS TO BRING HOMEOWNERSHIP THERE NOW.

I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

>> JUST TO ECHO WHAT THE COMMISSIONER SAID.

I'VE ALWAYS SAID ONE OF MY GOALS WAS TO PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE AND RESIDENTS OF FT. PIERCE TO GO FROM JOB TO CAREERS. AND PROJECT LIKE THIS GIVES THEM THAT CHANCE. BECAUSE AS YOU SAID, WE'RE GOING TO NEED CHEMIST; WE'RE GOING TO NEED MECHANICS.

WE'RE GOING TO NEED ENGINEERS TO KEEP THIS RUNNING FOR YEARS. IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY WITH THE COLLEGE HERE TO SAY ONLY COME TO STUDY TAKE THE ENGINEER DEGREE OVER HERE AND STAY IN THE COMMUNITY.

WITH THE HOMEOWNERSHIP AND BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE.

>> I THINK IT'S -- IT'S REALLY GOING TO BRING A LOT OF ATTENTION TO FT. PIERCE. AND THE LOT OF EXCITEMENT.

AND I'M VERY, VERY PLEASED THE TO HAVE BEEN A PART OF IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS. AND WATCHED IT EINVOLVE AND DEVELOP. AND IT'S JUST PRETTY EXCITING. WITH THAT IS THERE A MOTION

>> I MAKE AMOTION WE ACCEPT FOR APPROVAL THE ORDINANCE WITH THE NECESSARY OR FOLLOWING CONDITIONS

PRESENTED BY STAFF. >> SECOND.

>> THERE'S A MOTION AND THE SECOND.

CALL THE ROLL PLEASE.

THANK YOU. >> THAT WAS THE EASY ONE.

[g. Quasi-Judicial Hearing - Ordinance No. 22-003, Amending and Restating Ordinance No. 20-012 to replace the previously approved conceptual master plan with a site plan for the property generally located at or near 322 North 2nd Street. ]

I HAVE RECEIVED MANY E-MAILS FROM CONSTITUENTS.

[01:25:04]

AND OUR RESIDENTS. AND NONRESIDENTS.

I'VE WATCHED THE PLANNING BOARD AND LISTENED TO THREE HISTORIC BOARD MEETINGS. I ATTENDED THE EDC PRESENTATION. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DEVELOPER MANY TIMES AND BECAUSE HE'S BEEN HERE FOR MANY SOCIAL EVENTS IN FT. PIERCE SINCE THIS RFP WAS APPROVED. BUT NEITHER REALLY HAD A SUBSTANTIVE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT.

I ATTENDED MEETING AT THE LUMINARY HOTEL WHICH IS THE SAME PRODUCT THAT IS INTERESTED IN COMING IN FT. PIERCE. I MET WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE AT THAT HOTEL.

REPRESENTATIVE WITH EDC AND DEVELOPER.

>> WOULD YOU LIKE TO SWEAR IN THE WITNESSES?

>> WOULD ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK PLEASE STAND AND RAISE

YOUR RIGHT HAND. >> ANYONE IF YOU PLAN TO SPEAK. DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM TO TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE

TRUTH. >> I WILL ASK YOU TO STATE YOU WERE SWORN IN WHEN YOU COME FORWARD, WHEN IT'S

TIME. >> PLEASE PROCEED.

>> AS STATED THIS AN AMENDED AND RESTATED ORDINANCE.

NUMBER 20-021 ORDINANCE NUMBER 22-003.

THIS IS A MAJOR MODIFICATION TO THE PD OF THE KINGS LANDING SITE WHICH IS GENERALLY LOCATED 322 NORTH SECOND STREET. FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.

WITH AN UNDERPLANNED DEVELOPMENT AND CENTRAL COMMERCIAL. FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC I WILL GO THROUGH THE BACKGROUND OF THIS DEVELOPMENT. IT BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 14TH.

2018 WHEN THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE AND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ISSUED A REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF SEVERAL PARCELS GENERALLY PHONE AS FORMER HD KING PLANT. ON DECEMBER 2ND OF 2019.

THIS CITY AND FPRA AND AUTOBAHN DEVELOPMENT ENTERED INTO AGREEMENT. THE CITY ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE AMENDMENT AS IT WAS INDUSTRIAL AND CHANGED TO CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT TO ALLOW FOR THE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT. JUNE 21ST OF 2021 THE CITY APPROVED ABOUTMENT OF PORTION ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY.

THIS WAS RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CITY THAT WAS PER THEIR

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. >> ON MAY 24TH, 2021 HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD 2119.

THAT WAS A 4-0 VOTE AND TWO OF THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD HAD RECUSED THEMSELVES FOR THE KINGS LANDING MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT. ON OCTOBER 25TH, 2021.

PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDED APPROVAL.

THEY REVIEWED THE SITE PLAN ON 6-1 VOTE OF THE MAJOR AMENDMENT AND SITE PLAN APPROVAL THAT DEVELOP REVIEW FOR KINGS LANDING PD. IT WORTH NOTING THAT BECAUSE OF THE PROPERTY THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD SERVES AS THE DESIGN REVIEW FOR THEIR CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS. AND THE PLANNING BOARD REVIEWS IT AS RECOMMENDATION TO THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW WHICH ULTIMATELY IS THE CITY COMMISSIONS FINAL AUTHORITY.

ON NOVEMBER 15TH, 2021 THEY REVIEWED FOR A SECOND TIME COA2019R THE PLANNING BOARD MEETING AS THE PROPERTY CHANGED SUBSEQUENT TO THE ORIGINAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD MEETING IN MAY.

THAT MOTION TO APPROVE FAILED AND MOTION TO DENY WAS NOT MADE. THEREFORE ON DECEMBER 14TH, THE THIRD REVIEW OF THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS WAS HELD BY THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD. THERE WAS REQUIREMENT FOR A MOTION TO BE MADE. THERE WAS MUCH DISCUSSION ON CHANGES TO HEIGHT AND MASSING AND ADDITION TO TOTAL NUMBER OF HOTEL FLOOR WHICHES DISCUSSED IN PREVIOUS PLANS. SHOWED AS FIVE STORY.

THE HEIGHT WAS ALWAYS 107. AND AT THE MEETING WAS AFFIRMED THAT HOTEL WAS WOULD BE 8 FLOORS RATHER THAN FIVE. AND THE HEIGHT REMAINED THE SAME AT 107. THE BOARD DID APPROVE THAT COA AT THE MEETING. AS PART OF THE BOARD'S -- CITY COMMISSION RATHER BOARD PACKET, THERE ARE -- THERE WERE TWO SITE PLANS THAT WERE INCLUDED.

ONE WAS THAT ORIGINAL ONE THAT WENT TO PLANNING BOARD.

[01:30:03]

AND ONE THE SECOND WAS THE SITE PLAN THAT SHOWED WHICH WAS ALL AGREED UPON THE 8 STORIES RATHER THAN THE FIVE. THE CURRENT APPLICATION WILL REPLACE THE PLAN APPROVED BACK IN 2020 WITH THE SITE PLAN THAT'S PART OF THE PACKET AND THE ELEVATIONS.

THIS IS CONSIDERED A MAJOR AMENDMENT FOR THOSE VERY REASONS. THE USE AND THE DENSITY AND INTENSITY ARE SHOWN IN THE SLIDE.

THE PROPOSAL IS AN 8-STORY HOTEL AND RESTAURANT USES.

THIS IS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN.

AND I WILL GO INTO IT FURTHER WITH SOME COLORED RENDERING. JUST TO HIGHLIGHT ON THE ELEMENTS OF THE SITE PLAN ENTRANCE 2-A ACCESS FROM INDIAN RIVER DRIVE. FROM AVENUE B AND NORTH SECOND STREET AND FROM THE NORTH VIA MAIN ACCESS DRIVE FROM THE SOUTH FROM AVENUE B.

THERE'S TOTAL OF 299 PARKING SPACE.

SOME WILL BE SURFACE AND REMAINING 170 WILL BE WITHIN PARKING STRUCTURE THAT'S PROPOSED INTERNAL TO THE SITE. THE LANDSCAPING CONNECTIVITY THE DEVELOP ELEMENT BE INNER CONNECTED WITH PAYER BRICK SIDEWALK AND OUTDOOR SEATING.

MORRIS CREAK AMENITY WILL INCLUDE BUNCHES FOR THE PUBLIC. POTTED PLANT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE HARDSCAPE BECAUSE THERE'S INTERNAL HARDSCAPE TREE LINE STREETS. THERE'S AN ELEMENT OF HARDSCAPE DESIGN THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THE OVERALL ARCHITECTURE OF THE DEVELOP. .

HERE'S THE COLOR RENDERING. I WILL GO THROUGH EACH OF THE BUILDINGS. STARTING WITH BUILDING A WHICH IS THREE STORY RESTAURANT RETAILED A RESIDENTIAL. HEIGHT OF 50 FEET.

BUILDING B IS A TWO STORY RESTAURANT WITH 40-FEET IN HEIGHT. THESE BUILDINGS THAT ARE ALONG SECOND ARE LOWER IN SCALE.

BUILDING C IS THE TEN STORY BUILDING WITH ROOFTOP AMENITIES. THIS IS WHAT OFTEN REFERRED TO AS RESIDENTIAL TOWER. IT'S DESCRIBED AS 11 STORIES. BUT THE ARCHITECT WENT ON TO DESCRIBE THE LEVELS BUILT 1110 AND 11 .

TEN STORY WHAT IS HABITABLE. 11 STORY IS OPEN AIR.

THIS IS WHERE YOU HAVE YOUR ROOFTOP AMENITIES.

AND DURING THAT TIME REALLY DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN THE LEVELS THE LEVEL 10 IS REALLY WHAT THEY WOULD REFER TO AS 123. 11 OPEN TO AIR GOES TO 137 FEET I BELIEVE AND THEN THERE'S ROOFTOP AMENITIES THAT MAKE IT LIKE TOWER FEATURE THAT ARE REALLY EM-BELLISHMENT ARCHITECTURALLY.

E IS THE 8 STORY 140-ROOM HOTEL WHICH ALONG LARGE CREEK. BUILDING F IS THE ONE STORY RESTAURANT THAT WILL BE RETAIL AND PARKING STRUCTURE WHICH IS INTERNAL TO THAT. AND G8 STORY RETAIL AND RESTAURANT BUILDINGS. LASTLY THERE ARE TOWN HOME RIGHT ALONG MORRIS CREEK AND BACK.

WHICH WILL BE -- CONSIST OF TWO STORY TOWN HOMES WITH TWO UN-IS TOTHER WITH OPEN SPACES IN THE

DIFFERENTIATING THAT UNITS. >> THE ORIGINAL CONCEPTUAL RENDERING AS PART OF THE REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS.

THEY WERE AWARDED BASED ON. SHOWN HERE I WILL GO THROUGH NORTH AND SOUTH ELEVATION ON THIS SLIDE THEN EAST TO WEST ON THE FOLLOWING ONE. WHAT THEY TOOK THAT CONCEPT WITH THOSE RENDERING AND DEVELOPED ELEVATIONS THAT ARE STAFF CONSISTENT WITH THE INITIAL PROPOSAL.

THE ELEVATION REVIEWED BY HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD AND PLANNING BOARD. HERE'S THE EAST ELEVATION AND THE WEST ELEVATION. THIS IS THE PEDESTRIAN CROSS WAY THAT WILL CONNECT THE BUILDING ON SKY WALKWAY.

THERE WAS TRAFFIC ANALYSIS PLANNED.

THE CITY DID OPINE ON THIS. BASED ON FUTURE TRAFFIC

[01:35:06]

GENERATION. MULTIFAMILY HOUSING SHOPPING HOTEL AND HIGH TURNOVER RESTAURANT.

PEEK HOUR DAILY TRIP WAS ANALYZED AND THE FINDING OF NEW PEEK HOUR TRIP WERE DETERMINED TO MEET TO OPERATE RATHER AT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF SERVICE.

>> STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION, WE DO FEEL THIS SUBJECT IS PERFECT I WILL POSITIONED AND PROMINENT DOWNTOWN LOCATION OVERLOOKING THE WATERWAY AND THE CITY MARINA. ARCHITECTURAL STYLE BLEND WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA. IT'S HISTORIC DISTRICT BUT

THIS IS NEW BUILDING. >>THE SCALE THE DEVELOPMENT PROVIDES TRANSITION WE KNEEL TO NEIGHBORING SETTLEMENT.

TREE LINES, STREETS, EXPANSIVE STOREFRONT AND OUTDOOR DINING. AND WE DO ENVISION THAT THE KING LANDING DEVELOPMENT WILL COMPLIMENT FINERMAN'S WHARF SOON TO BE COMING YOUR WAY.

AND SERVE AS THE CATALYST FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC PROSPERITY FOR THE DOWNTOWN AND THE CITY AS THE WHOLE AND WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE PLAN MAJOR AMENDMENT TO THE PD AND THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL.

>> PLANNING BOARD DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS MAJOR AMENDMENT. OCTOBER 25TH, MEETING.

POSSIBLE ACTIONS OF THE CITY COMMISSION WERE -- WOULD BE TO APPROVE, TO APPROVE WITH CONDITIONS.

OR TO DISAPPROVE THE MAJOR AMENDMENT TO THE PD.

I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

>> ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF? >> MADDAM MAYOR?

>> YES. >> YOU MENTIONED IN THE PRIEST SLIDE PLANNING BOARD SAW THIS IN OCTOBER.

AND THEY WERE ABLE TO SEE THE APPLICATION THAT WAS -- THAT'S IN FRONT OF US NOW.

IS THAT ACCURATE? >> YES, SIR.

WHICH IS DENSITY. THE CONDITIONS OF TRAFFIC IMPACT STATEMENTS AND WHAT NOT?

>> YES. PLANNING BOARD.

THEY REVIEWED THE HEIGHT INCREASE AND THE MASSING AND THE TRAFFIC. IT DID GO BACK.

IT WENT BACK TO HISTORIC PRESERVATION FOR THE SECOND

MEETING. >> SECOND OR THIRD.

IT WAS THE SECOND AND NOT OFFICIAL MOTION.

IT DID HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE THIRD.

>> YOU PRESENTED THAT TOO. >> IN THAT PROCESS, WHEN IT WENT BACK TO HISTORICAL PRESERVATION THERE'S DESIGN ELEMENT AND REVIEW. YOU TALK ABOUT THE HOTEL CHANGING. AT THAT TIME HISTORIC PREFKS. AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION.

THAT CHANGED. WHERE THERE COMMENTS ABOUT THE OTHER AMOUNTS PARLIAMENTS OF THE SITE.

DESIGN ELEMENT OF THE BUILDING.

WHAT WAS THE FINAL MOTION I GUESS WHERE I'M GOING?

>> ALTERNATE THE SECOND MEETING WHEN FIRST DISCUSSED. THAT'S WHEN THERE'S NO MOTION TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE.

AT THAT MEETING THIS LENGTHY DISCUSSION ON THE INCREASE IN HEIGHT AND WHAT THEY FELT THE MASSING HAD CHANGED FROM WHAT THEY HAD SEEN INITIALLY AND WHAT THEY WERE SEEING AT THAT MOMENT. I CAN'T SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT. I WAS PRESENT.

IN THAT DISCUSSION BECAUSE THERE IS NO HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS IN THE DOWNTOWN, AND WITH KNOWING THAT THERE'S SOME REFINEMENT.

WHEN IT WENT FROM RENDERING TO ELEVATION THERE'S TWEAKS AND CHANGES THAT OCCUR. I KNOW THERE WAS DISCUSSION WITH POTENTIAL HOTEL WOULD ALSO CAUSE FOR SOME REFINEMENTS BECAUSE HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD ONLY SAW

THE RENDERINGS AT THAT TIME. >> THE SECOND TIME AROUND THEY SAW THE ELEVATION. THAT'S WHAT THE PLANNING BOARD SAW. IT'S DURING THAT TIME THEY FELT THAT YOU KNOW THERE WERE CHANGES THAT THEY NEEDED MORE EXPLANATION FOR WHY DID IT CHANGE.

A LOT OF THE QUESTIONS. I BELIEVE THE THIRD MEETING, THOSE ANSWERS THOSE QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED BECAUSE IT WAS AT THAT TIME THAT THEY DID RECOMMEND

APPROVAL. >> OKAY.

WHAT I THOUGHT I SAWEN THE SLIDE HERE ORIGINALLY, IF YOU GO BACK TO THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION TIME LINE.

I'M OKAY. JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS TOO,

[01:40:01]

I SAT ON THE WORDS AS THE VOLUNTEER IN MY LIFETIME BEFORE COMING TO THE COMMISSION.

AND WHEN YOU GO THROUGH THESE THINGS.

YOU THINK YOU MAKE A MOTION AND THE DECISION.

SOMETIMES THE MEETING CLOSES, WITHOUT REALLY A DECISION BEING MADE. THAT'S MEETING NUMBER 2 WHAT I RECALL. IN LOOKING AT THE MINUTES AND LOOKING IN NOVEMBER 15TH HERE ON THE SCREEN.

THE MOTION WAS MADE AND VOTED DOWN.

IT DIDN'T PASS. ALTERNATE -- AT THE END OF THAT THE MEETING WAS ADJOURNED.

IF THERE ARE ANY FOLKS QUESTIONING THAT.

JUST BECAUSE YOU DENY A MOTION DOESN'T MEAN ACTION WAS TAKEN. IT MEANS THE MOTION DIDN'T PASS AND THERE WAS NO ACTION TAKEN.

>> IN THE DISCUSSION COMOUT HERE IN HOTEL FLOORS WHICH OKAY. THAT'S GOOD.

GOOD DISCUSSION. 8 FLOORS RATHER THAN PREVIOUSLY STATED FIVE FLOORS.

DID THE HOTEL CHANGE AT THAT POINT.

STILL 140 ROOMS. I THOUGHT PROPOSED OR WHAT WAS THE CONVERSATION WITH THAT BOARD AND THEIR REVIEW

OF THIS? >> I THINK IT WAS TWOFOLD.

>> BECAUSE THE HEIGHT DEPOSIT CHANGE THERE WAS CONFUSION THE CEILING HEIGHTS HIGHER? IT'S ONLY FIVE STORIES. WHY IS THE BUILDING 107 AND FIVE STORIES WHEN THE RESIDENTIAL RETAIL BUILDING IS 107 AND MUCH MORE LEVELS. I DON'T LIKE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT. THE ARCHITECT WAS THERE.

THEY WERE NOT SURE HOW MANY LEVELS.

THEY KNEW THE HEIGHT WOULD REMAIN 107.

AT THE LAST MEETING BEFORE THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD ITS DETERMINED THAT -- AND VERY DEFINITIVE THAT THEY ARE PROPOSING AN 8-STORY HOTEL.

IT WAS AT THAT TIME THAT WAS WHY THAT REVISED SITE PLAN WAS INCLUDED AS PART OF THE PACKET FOR TODAY.

>> WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER CONDITIONS OF THE SITE

ITSELF? >> GET AWAY FROM THE HOTEL FOR A MINUTE AND TALK ABOUT THE INDIAN RIVER DRIVE

FRONTAGES AND THOSE? >> THOSE OF COURSE CONCERN OVER YOU KNOW VIEWS OF THE RIVER FOR EVERYONE ELSE.

THERE WAS HEIGHT DISCUSSION. WHAT WILL BE ELEMENT BE.

I BELIEVE IT PASSED AND BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO SEE THIS PROJECT GO THROUGH AND ULTIMATELY BE PRESENTED TO THE BODY. TO THIS CITY COMMISSION.

>> I THINK SOME SUSTAINED. THERE WAS 3-2 AS INDICATED HERE. YOU KNOW, THERE WERE COMMENTS MADE ABOUT THE DESIGN, THE ELEMENTS OF DESIGN. SO STAYING ON THAT RSIDENTIAL COMPONENT, YOU ALSO MENTIONED WITHIN THE SAME BOARD PRESENTATION THE ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS ON THE TOP. WE HAVE 11 FLOORS.

JUST COUNTING A FLOOR. THE FLOOR CAN BE OBVIOUSLY IT'S GOING TO BE A CERTAIN HEIGHT WITHIN THE INTERIOR.

WE KNOW EVERY BUILDING HAS THE HEIGHT.

TALK TO ME ABOUT THE OVERALL HEIGHT FROM EXISTING GRADE.

EXISTING ROADWAYS SURROUNDING ROADWAYS.

WHAT IS THEOVER ALL ELEMENTS OF THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS THAT ARE THERE AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE

PROPERTY? >> THE WAY THE BUILDING IS DESIGNED IT'S GRADE TO THE TOP OF THE LIVABLE SPACE.

THE BUILDING HEIGHT. THAT'S 121 TO 123 NOW.

THEN THERE'S YOUR NOT MEASURING AS PART OF THE HEIGHT WHAT'S OPEN AIR. THAT'S THE ROOFTOP ELEMENTS.

AND ALSO THESE EM-BELLISHMENTS ARE NOT PART HABITABLE SPACE FOR HEIGHT. THIS THE NOW MORE CLEARLY DEFINED. WHAT THEY WILL BE APPROVED

AT. >> IF THERE ARE CHANGES, IT

WOULD REQUIRE COMING BACK. >> COMING BACK TO NOT THIS COMMISSION ZBROOCHLT IF THEY ARE MAJOR CHANGES, STAFF DOES NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE APPROVING, IT WOULD HAVE TO GO TO HISTORIC PLANNING BOARD AND BACK TO YOU IF

[01:45:01]

IT'S A MAJOR AMENDMENT. >> IT'S AN IMPORTANT PROJECT AS EVERYONE KNOWS. BACKGROUND INFORMATION THAT I SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABILITY.

IS THERE ANY INFORMATION AS FR AS THE TIME LINE THAT WHERE HERE. WE WENT THROUGH PLENTY.

WE WENT THROUGH HISTORIC PRESERVATION.

ANYTHING I SHOULD BE CONCERNED OF?

>> I WILL JUST SAY THIS COMMISSIONER JOHNSON.

BASED ON THE INFORMATION WE WERE GIVEN, WHAT'S BEFORE THE COMMISSION TODAY IS THE ITEM THAT WAS APPROVED BY WAY OF CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS BY THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD. WHAT'S BEFORE THE COMMISSION TODAY IS THE ITEM THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE PLANNING BOARD. THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME CHANGES EARLY ON BUT WHAT'S BEFORE YOU TODAY IS WHAT HAS BEEN APPROVED BY WAY OF YOUR ADVISORY BOARD AND BY WAY OF YOUR QUASI-JUDICIAL BOARD. IT'S UP TO THE COMMISSION TO LOOK TOT THE SIGN PLAN PRESENTED TO YOU.

AND APPLY THE PROVISION OF THE CODE AS YOU WOULD BE ANY OTHER MAJOR SITE PLAN YOU WERE CONSIDERING.

I APPRECIATE THAT. THAT'S WHY I ASK.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE WITH ALL THE CHANGES AND ALL THE MOVING PARTS AND PIECES, THAT HAVE HAPPENED AND THE RECORD THAT'S OUT THERE, JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT APPLICATION THAT'S BEEN APPROVED THROUGH THE STANDARD PROCESS WITHIN THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE JUST LIKE WE DONE WITH THREE OR FOUR APPLICATIONS BEFORE US

TONIGHT. >> YES.

>> THANK YOU. .

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF?

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAR?

>> I WOULD LIKE FOR THE APPLICANT TO COME FORWARD.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF STAR?

>> I DO NOT. >> DO YOU MIND INTRODUCING YOURSELF. I THINK YOU WERE SWORN IN.

>> FOR THE RECORD, LEE DOBBINS WITH THE LAW FIRM HERE'S IN FT. PIERCE REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT.

VERY FORTUNATE TO BEFORE YOU.

WE TALK ABOUT WHAT'S GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. WE DESIGNED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ON DECEMBER 2ND. I GUESS APPROVED.

THAT'S ALREADY. IT WAS SIGNED ON DECEMBER 2ND. DECEMBER 2ND.

2019. ABOUT TWO YEARS OUT FROM WHEN THAT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WAS SIGNED.

THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS THE DOCUMENT THAT SET FORTH HOW THIS GET DEVELOPED. IT LAID OUT WHAT OBLIGATIONS THE CITY HAD, WHAT OBLIGATIONS THE APPLICANT HAD. THE CITY HAD TO DO THE STONING CHANGE AND LAND USE AMENDMENT.

HAD TO AND A STREET. APPLICANT HAD TO COME FORWARD WITH SITE PLAN APPROVAL AND BRING THEM THROUGH THE PROCESS TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

I GET A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS PROJECT IN THE COMMUNITY AND THE STATUS OF IT.

AND PEOPLE OFTEN ASK WHAT THE TAKING SO LONG.

WHEN WILL THIS HAPPEN. WHEN WILL IT COME BEFORE THE BOARD. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S NOT A MATTER OF DRAGGING FEET OR THE TEAM NOT KNOWING WHAT THEY WERE DOING. THERE'S BEEN A NUMBER OF ISSUE WE HAD TO WORK THROUGH AND WORK THROUGH WITH YOUR CITY STAFF. WHICH REALLY DONE A GREAT JOB. AND IT'S BEEN VERY GOOD TO WORK WITH. A FEW OF THOSE ISSUES.

WE FOUND OUT FAIRLY EARLY ON.

THERE'S SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF BURIED CONCRETE UNDER THE SITE. THE POWER PLANTS DEMOLISHED BUT THERE'S A LOT OF BURIED CONCRETE IN THE GROUND.

AND TO BUILD A TALL BUILDING YOU'VE GOT TO DIG DOWN FAIRLY FAR TO PUT IN THE FOOTERS FOR THAT.

WE HAD TO DO GROUND PENETRATING RADAR TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THAT CONCRETETHS AND IF WE COULD WORK AROUND.

IF IT WAS POSSIBLE TO SINK THE FOOTER AROUND WHERE IT WAS AND WHAT NEEDED TO BE REMOVED.

ONCE WE FIGURED OUT WHAT CONCRETE NEEDED TO BE REMOVED, THERE WAS THE ISSUE OF THE CONTAMINATED SOIL.

THERE'S RESTRICTION ON THE WATERING ON THIS SITE.

YOU CAN'T JUST PULL WATER OUT OF THE GROUND LIKE YOU NORMALLY WOULD IN A CONSTRUCTION SITE AND LET IT FLOW SOMEWHERE. BECAUSE OF THE CONTAMINATION YOU HAVE TO TREAT THAT WATER.

YOU HAVE TO FILTER IT. THAT MADE IT MORE COMPLICATED WHEN YOU WILL BE DIGGING INTO THE GROUND, PULLING UP CONCRETE AND PUTTING IN FOOTERS FIGURING

[01:50:02]

OUT HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THE CONTAMINATED SOIL AND NOT MOVE THE GROUNDWATER AROUND. THERE'S ALSO MAJOR UTILITY LINES RIGHT THROUGH THE SITE.

WATER SEWER AND ELECTRICAL LINES GO THROUGH THERE.

>> MR. MIMMS DOESN'T LIKE ME TO MENTION SUBMERGED LANDS.

BUT THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT SUBMERGED LAND ISSUE.

THE OLD SHORELINE FOR THE RIVER USED TO BE ABOUT A THIRD OF THE WAY INTO THE SITE.

AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT MORRIS CREEK DIDN'T ALWAYS RUN STRAIGHT. IT USED TO MEANDER THROUGH THE PROPERTY. IT GOT FILLED IN SOMEWHERE AROUND 1904 OR 1905. IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA SUBMERGED PLANS ARE OWNED BY THE STATE.

EN IF YOU FEEL THEM IN. THEY ARE STILL OWNED BY THE STATE. BACK IN '04 AND '05 THEY DID THINGS MORE CASUALLY THAN TODAY.

WE HAD TO GO TO STATE OF FLORIDA BACK IN THE MIDDLE OF COVID WHEN IT WAS HARD TO GET ANYONE TO RETURN YOUR PHONE CALLS AND TRY TO GET THEM TO WAVE THOSE SUBMERGED LANDS ISSUE AND HAD A GREAT TIME TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT TO THEM WHEN I COULDN'T GIVE THEM AN AERIAL.

I HAD TO TELL THEM AERIALS WEREN'T A THING.

I CAN'T TELL YOU WHERE THE CREEK WAS.

ALL THAT TOOK TIME TO WORK OUT.

YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL VERY PROFESSIONAL STAFF AND THEY HELPED US WORK THROUGH EACH OF THOSE ISSUES ONE BY ONE TO GET US WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

THAT'S WHAT TOOK IT TWO YEARS IN GETTING HERE.

WITH THAT DALE HAS A SHORT PRESENTATION AND POWERPOINT HE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE ON THAT AND IF WE CAN GO AHEAD AND CUE THAT UP. THEN AFTER THAT, I WILL COME BACK UP. DO WE HAVE A TIME ELEMENT ON

THIS? >> I DIDN'T START THE TIMER.

>> I DIDN'T DO IT FOR THE STAFF EITHER.

MAKE SURE THAT IS ON THE DESKTOP.

>> WELCOME AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE. >>

>> THE DEVELOPER OF KINGS LANDING.

AND HONOR TO BE HERE TONIGHT.

I FEEL LIKE I KNOW EVERYONE. THIS HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL PROJECT. AND LET'S -- WE WON'T TAKE A LOT OF TIME ON THIS. WE JUST CLICK THROUGH IT.

CAN I CONTROL FROM HERE. I CAN'T.

WHEN WE STARTED YOU ASKED US TO DO MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT.

THIS WAS PART OF RFP. YOU WANTED RESIDENTIAL.

RETAIL, RESTAURANT AND HOTEL.

THERE WERE NOT HEIGHT RESTRICTION AND PARKING RESTRICTIONS. WHAT WE LEARNED ALONG THE WAY IS THAT IN ADDITION TO WHAT YOU WANTED -- THEY WANTED THE SMALL TOWN CHARM THAT MAKES FT. PIERCE, FT. PIERCE. THEY WANTED US TO ADDRESS PARKING AND DESIGNATION HOTEL.

THOSE THREE ELEMENTS WERE UNDERPINNING WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO BUILD HERE. SMALL TOWN CHARM COMES IN A LOT OF WAYS. MOST IMPORTANTLY THE INTERACTION WITH THE PEDESTRIAN AND THE WALKWAYS AND WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TRYING TO CREATE THAT PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE. BOTH FOR THE PARKING WITH THE EXPANSIVE WALKWAYS AND THEN THE NORMAL WORK WAYS ARE HUGE WALKWAYS. THE OUTDOOR DINING EXPERIENCE OR WALKING IN THE SHADE.

THERE'S A RIVER WALK THAT GO ALL THE WAY FROM INDIAN RIVER DRIVE UP MORRIS CREEK. AROUND THE PROPERTY AND COMES OUT RIGHT HERE AT CITY HALL.

WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH THE PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE.

THE OTHER THING THAT MAKES SMALL TOWN CHARM IS WHAT

[01:55:06]

FILLS THE TOWN. THE LOCAL RESTAURANTS ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. AND I'M PROUD THAT EVERY ONE OF THE RESTAURANTS IN KINGS LANDING IS LOCAL.

THERE'S YOU KNOW INTEREST FROM A LOT OF DIFFERENT RESTAURANTS. WOW FIND ANY APPLEBEES.

THEY APPROACHED US. WE DID END WHAT I THINK ARE VERY STRONG GROUP OF LOCAL RESTAURANTS, NOT ONE OF THEM SHUT DOWN A LOCATION. THIS ISSED ATY.

THEY ADDED THE NEW PRODUCT. 12-A BUOY IS ADDING A IRISH PUB. DONNA DOBBS LANDING ADDING TAPPS AND TEQUILA. THE PICKLE ADDING ITALIAN.

JOHN AT PIERSIDE DOING A DO DOLLY -- DELI AND BREWERY. ONE OF THE THINGS I MOST INTERESTED THIS IS A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT INDIAN RIVER STATE COLLEGE HAS A FANTASTIC CULINARY PROGRAM. AND DR. TIM MOORE AND I TALKED ABOUT HOW GOOD THE CULINARY PROGRAM IS AND WHAT OPPORTUNITIES IT PROVIDES FOR THEIR STUDENTS.

AND SO WE HAVE OFFERED TO BUILD AT NO CHARGE TO THE UNIVERSITY OR TO THE COLLEGE RESTAURANT AND IT WILL EMBODY THE CULINARY PROGRAM AT INDIAN RIVER STATE COLLEGE IN THE NAME OF THE RESTAURANT IS THE KIDS ARE COOKING. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE COOKING. IT'S WHATEVER IS ON THE CURRICULUM THAT WEEK. IT COULD BE GOOD OR BAD.

IT WILL BE CHEAP BUT THE KIDS ARE COOKING.COM.

IT'S ONE OF THE RESTAURANTS THAT WILL BE THE MOST FUN.

THEY ARE ALL GOOD. ALL LOCAL OPERATORS AND ALL STRONG WE'VE ALL EATEN AT THEIR RESTAURANTS.

THE OTHER THING THAT GIVE SMALL TOWN CHARM RETAIL.

THERE'S LOCALS. THERE'S SEVERAL RETAILERS.

THERE'S A SURF SHOP. THERE'S REAL ESTATE OFFICE.

THERE'S INSURANCE OFFICE. THERE'S A FURNITURE AND DESIGN STORE. I CONSIDER THAT LOCAL.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LEAVE KINGS LANDING TO LIVE AT KINGS LANDING. THAT'S WHAT I THINK KEEPS THE SMALL TOWN CHARM. THE BUILDING, THE ARCHITECTURE THAT DESIGNED FOR US IS FABULOUS.

IT'S THE MARSH MEDITERRANEAN OLD FLORIDA CHARM AND I THINK THAT THE ARCHITECTURE ALONG WITH WHAT WE FEELED THE ARCHITECTURE WITH KEEPS THE SMALL TOWN CHARM.

PARKING WAS THE OTHER ISSUE. THIS CENTER PICTURE.

I DOESN'T LOOK LIKE BUT THAT'S A PARKING GARAGE.

THREE STORY PARKING DECK. BOTTOM FLOOR IS RETAIL AND RESTAURANTS. TOP FLOOR ROOFTOP AMENITIES WHICH IS OUR POOL AND FITNESS CENTER FOR RESIDENTS. PARKING IS KIND OF UGLY.

WE WORKED HARD TO MAKE IT LOOK GOOD IN THE CENTER OF KINGS LANDING. WE HAVE 299 PARKING SPACES.

PARKING WAS A BIG ISSUE. THROUGH RESEARCH, THROUGH PARKING CONSULTANTS, THERE'S A FORMULA NOT EVERYONE IS HOME AND USING THE PARKING STRUCTURE AT THE SAME TIME.

WE HAVE 114 RESIDENTS. YOU HAVE TO 1.5 SPACES FOR EACH RESIDENCE. THAT'S 171 PARKING SPOTS.

THAT LEAVES AN EXTRA 128 I GUESS IT IS THAT ARE FOR PATRONS AND VISITORS AND STUFF.

IF YOU ADD TWO DECKS YOU HAVE 140 MOORPARKING SPACES FOR THE PUBLIC PARKING. ONLY THING YOU HAVE TO DECIDE FAIRLY SOON BECAUSE ONCE WE PUT A POOL ON THE TOP, YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT A PARKING STRUCTURE ON TOP OF

[02:00:01]

THE POOL. THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY WRINKLE THERE. WHEN WE STARTED THIS, THIS IS A PICTURE OF OUR HOTEL PARTNER.

THIS HOTEL IN TRADITION. IT'S A MARRIOT HOTEL.

MARRIOT HAS A LOT OF DIFFERENT BRANDS.

THEY GO FROM RITZ-CARLTON ON DOWN.

THIS TOWN PLACE SUITES. AND THIS IS HOTEL PROJECT.

THEY BACKED OUT ON US 30 DAYS AFTER WE SIGNED THE AGREEMENT WITH YOU. WE WERE IN THE PICKLE.

THEY HAD BETTER OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO FORT LAUDERDALE.

RATHER THAN FT. PIERCE AND THEY TOOK THAT OPPORTUNITY.

THEY ARE SMALL COMPANY. FAMILY COMPANY AND THEY TOUGHT THE GEOGRAPHY OF DOING TRADITION AND FT. PIERCE ROUNDED OUT THE FOOTPRINT.

MADE SENSE TO ME AND EVERYONE ELSE THAN THE FORT LAUDERDALE OPPORTUNITY THEY THOUGHT THEY LOST AND THEY CHOSE. MONTH LATER COVID HIT.

TRYING TO FIND HOTEL PARTNER IN THE MIDDLE OF COVID WAS A DIFFICULT THING. NO ONE WAS TALKING ABOUT TOURISM AND TRAVEL IN THE MIDDLE OF COVID.

WE SPENT THE BETTER PART OF 2020 HUNTING FOR HOTEL PARTNER. WE HIRED HOTEL BROKER.

IF YOU FIND SOMEONE INTERESTED IN HOTELS IN 2020, THEY ARE SERIOUS. THEY ARE NOT TIRE KICKERS.

BECAUSE NO ONE REALLY IS LOOKING FOR ADDITIVE HOTELS IN THIS COVID ENVIRONMENT. WE FOUND A COMPANY CALLED MAIN SALE OUT OF TAMPA. THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE HOTEL IN FORT MEYER CALLED THE LUMINARY.

AND THIS COMPANY SPECIALIZES IN MARRIOT PRODUCT CALLED THE AUTOGRAPH AND THE TRIBUTE COLLECTION.

THEY ARE TWO LUXURY BRANDS, AND THE WHOLE PROMISE IS THAT THEY DON'T LACK LIKE MARRIOT.

THE ARE PART OF THE MARRIOT REWARDS AND RESERVATION SYSTEM AND ALL THE MARKETING.

BUT THEY LET THE HOTELS TAKE ON THE PERSONALITY OF THE TOWN THEY SERVE. THAT'S THEIR MOVE.

ONE OF THE HOTELS THAT IS ALSO PART OF THE AUTOGRAPH COLLECTION CLOSER TO HOME HERE IS CALLED THE BIN IN WEST PALM BEACH. DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A MARRIOT.

BUT SIT. IT'S CALLED THE BIN.

WE WERE FORTUNATE, I THINK IN THAT THE STRUGGLE THAT WE HAD WITH THE HOTEL THAT WE FOUND MAIN SALE.

WRINKLE WAS THAT MAIN SALE WANTED A LOT.

THIS HOTEL HERES 120 ROOMS FOR 20 MILLION DOLLARS.

MAIN SALE WANTED TO DO 140 ROOMS A FEW MORE ROOMS BUT 45 MILLION DOLLARS. MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE.

MUCH NICER HOTEL. WHILE COVID WAS SLOWING EVERYBODY ELSE DOWN. WE HAD THE LUXURY OF REALLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE THIS PROJECT SOLID.

WITH THE HELP OF REAL ESTATE ANALYST CBRE WE SPENT MOST OF THE YEAR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE THIS PROJECT BULLETPROOF. HOW TO MAKE KINGS LANDING REALLY FINANCIALLY SOUND AND HOW TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO GET A MUCH BETTER HOTEL HERE.

THE WAY I COMPARE. THE ONE ON THE TOP FINE HOTEL. OVER NIGHT STAY.

IT'S ONE NIGHT OR TWO NIGHTER ON YOUR WAY TO SOME PLACE ELSE. WHAT WE ENDED UP WITH IS A DESTINATION HOTEL IN MAIN SALE, PROCESSED MORE.

WE HAD TO GIVE THEM THE LAND.

WE HAD TO GIVE THEM A LOT OF STUFF.

WE'RE INTO FOR ABOUT 4 AND A HALF MILLION TO ATTRACT THE RIGHT HOTEL. IN ORDER TO DO THAT, CBRE SAID OKAY, DALE, IF YOU WANT THAT NICER HOTEL FOR FT. PIERCE, WE HAVE TWO QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

NUMBER ONE, DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH DEMAND FOR YOUR PRODUCT? DO PEOPLE WHAT WANT TO LIVE

IN KINGS LANDING? >> WE HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH

[02:05:03]

THAT. WE'RE SOLD OUT.

ALL 114 HOMES ARE RESERVED. WE HAVE A WAIT LIST GOING NOW. WE DIDN'T HAVE A DEMAND PROBLEM. THE NEXT QUESTION WAS DO YOU HAVE HEIGHT RESTRICTION? WE HAVE NO HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS PER THE RFP PER CITY CODE.

SO THEY SAID OKAY IF YOU HAVE NO RIGHT RESTRICTIONS AND YOU HAVE ENOUGH DEMAND HERE'S HOW WE MODEL YOUR PROJECT AND SO THAT KIND OF HOW WE ENDED UP WHERE WE ARE TODAY. THIS CAN BE A LITTLE OVERWHELMING CHART. ON FEBRUARY OF 2021.

WITH THE HELP OF CBRE, WE FINALLY GOT OUR DEAL DONE WITH MAIN SALE AND WE SUBMITTED A PLAN FOR DESIGN REVIEW ON FEBRUARY 30 THEY ADDED 140 ROOMS. IT HAD 37,000 SQUARE FEET OF RETAIL.

AND 118 HOMES. AND THESE THINGS REFINE A LITTLE BIT OVER TIME. BUT IT STAYS PRETTY CLOSE.

THE 24TH WE WENT TO HISTORIC REVIEW BOARD FOR THE FIRST TIME. WITH 140 ROOM AND 37,000 SQUARE FEET OF RETAIL. 22,000 SQUARE FEEL OF RESTAURANT AND 118 HOMES. WE WENT TO PLANNING AND ZONING IN OCTOBER, SAME NUMBER OF HOTEL ROOMS. YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE RETAIL AND THE RESTAURANT NUMBER ALMOST SWAPPED, BECAUSE WE REALIZED LESS RETAIL MORE RESTAURANTS IS WHAT WE NEEDED AND WE LOST A FEW UNITS BECAUSE OF THE APPROACH ON THE PARKING GARAGE. OUR SECOND RUN AT HISTORIC REVIEW BOARD SAME EVERYTHING AND THE THIRD ROUND SAME EVERYTHING. THE DEMISTFICATION OF THIS WHOLE PRODUCTS THAT WE NEVER THOUGHT WE HAT HEIGHT RESTRICTION PER CODE. WHEN WE STARTED MASSING THE BUILDINGS, TO AFFORD THE NICER HOTEL, IT WENT UP FROM 8 FLOORS TO 10 FLOORS OF RESIDENTIAL.

AND THAT'S HOW THIS ALL HAPPENED.

NOW THE NICE HAT AND THE AMENITY DECKS.

THOSE ARE CERTAINLY FEATURES THAT WE LIKE AND WE THINK IT MAKES IT LOOK GOOD AND WE DON'T WANT THE BUILDINGS TO BE THE SAME HEIGHT. HOPEFULLY I KNOW THAT'S A LOT TO ABSORB. FROM FEBRUARY OF LAST YEAR, WE HAVE BEEN PRETTY CON SIS ABOUT WITH HOW MANY HOTEL ROOMS. HOW MANY HOMES AND THE ONLY THING THAT FLIP PLOPPEDS RETAIL AND RESTAURANTS.

SO RIGHT NOW OUR TALLEST BUILDING TEN FLOORS OF RESIDENTIAL. WE MEET ALL OF THE FT. PIERCE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.

PLANNING AND ZONING APPROVED US.

HISTORICAL PRESERVATION BOARD APPROVES US AND WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO APPROVE US.

THAT IS A PICTURE OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE NOW IN ALL IT'S GLORY AND THAT'S IT TOO. THAT'S KINGS LANDING.

I WILL TURN IT OVER TO. WE WILL SPEAK ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT JOB AND THAT SORT OF THING.

>> >> THANK YOU.

WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TOUR TEAM IS HERE AND AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

>> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

>> QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT BEFORE I OPEN UP

THE PUBLIC HEARING. >> ANY QUESTIONS?

>> MADAM MAYOR, I WILL MAKE A COMMENT.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO LOOK AT ECONOMICS WHETHER IT'S NOW OR AFTER PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.

IF WE HAVE EDR HERE AND TOURISM HERE.

I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT DATA AND INFORMATION FOR THIS COMMISSION TO EVALUATE. I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE

APPROPRIATE TIME IS. >> I KNOW THAT'S PART OF IT.

>> MR. TESH WILL SPEAK TO THAT.

IF YOU LIKE I CAN GIVE SOME INFORMATION TO THE BOARD IF

YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO. >> ALL RIGHT.

PLEASE DO. >> A FEW POSITIVE IMPACTS FOR THE CITY. FIRST OF ALL, HIGH-END DESTINATION HOTEL, IT'S ESTIMATED TO PROVIDE 221 HOTEL JOBS WITH 6.7 MILLION IN WAGES.

[02:10:05]

THAT'S JUST THE HOTEL. THAT DOESN'T JOBS AND RESTAURANT AND RETAIL. 1.4 MILLION IN BED TAX REVENUINGS. AND ALSO THE HOTELS ESTIMATED TO PRODUCE 13 MILLION PER YEAR IN DIRECT SPENDING FOR THE HOTEL GUEST.

ON TOP OF THAT. YOU HAVE 114 NEW RESIDENTS LIVING DOWNTOWN. SPENDING THEIR MONEY IN DOWNTOWN. AND THEN OF COURSE THE INTANGIBLES OF IT. I WILL DRAW PEOPLE TO SPEND MONEY AND IT WILL DRAW ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT INTO DOWNTOWN. YOU WHETHER SEE NOBODY WANTS THE BE THE FIRST TO INVEST IN THE NEW AREA.

IT WILL SHOW THAT FT. PIERCE DOES WORK.

INVESTING IN DOWNTON CAN BE PROFITABLE AND OTHER INVESTORS WILL FOLLOW. WITH THAT I WILL LEAVE THE REST OF IT FOR PETE. HE HAS DETAILS TO PRESENT.

>> WAS HE GOING TO SPEAK IN THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD?

>> >> IS THAT REVIEW?

>> WE'RE OPENING UP THE PUBLIC AND MR. TESH.

I WILL LET YOU GO FIRST. IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEAK, WOULD YOU GO NEXT AND THEN WE'LL --

>> GOOD EVENING. I'M PRESIDENT OF THE ST.

LUCIE EDC AND EXCITED TO BE HERE.

AS I ALWAYS STATE I AM THE RESIDENT OF THE GREAT CITY

OF FT. PIERCE. >> AND A SURFER.

>> WELL, WE WILL -- THAT'S NOT PART OF THE PUBLIC

RECORD. >> I DO HAVE A LONG BOARD

FOR YOU, SIR. >> AS MR. DOBBINS STATED.

THERE'S SOME DEFINITIVE ECONOMIC IMPACTS HERE.

I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WANT TO TALK.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO OUTLINE THESE AND I WILL JUST TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO DO SO.

AS MR. DOBBINS MENTIONED THERE'S BEEN MANY STUDIES.

COMPREHENSIVE STUDIES. EDC DID INTERNAL ECONOMIC ON THE CONSTRUCTION WITH THE HELP OF CHARLOTTE LAST YEAR WE WERE ABLE TO LOCATE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT ECONOMIC RESEARCH FIRM OF DOWNS AND SAINT GERMAINE RESEARCH FROM TALLAHASSEEMENT. THEY MEASURED THE TOTAL ECONOMIC OUTPUT OF THE HOTEL.

AND THEN MR. MADISON WITH AUDUBON DEVELOPMENT DID SOME INTERNAL MEASUREMENT OF THE ACTUAL KINGS LANDING.

ANY WAY. IMPORTANT THING I KNOW COMMISSIONER CURTIS FEELS THE SAME WAY.

JOB SKRAEGS, PAYROLL. AND THEN MORE TO THE TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY THAT DIRECT SPENDING AND ECONOMIC OUTPUT. FIRST THING IS THE ONE-TIME IMPACT OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF 140 ROOM FULL SERVICE TRIBUTE PORTFOLIO HOTEL. WE TOOK OUT ALL THE SOFT CAST AND LOOK AT THE HARD COST.

TOTAL OUT PUTT 40 MILLION. 382 JOBS DIRECT, INDIRECT AND INDUCED. TOTAL PAYROLL FOR THAT ONE TIME IMPACT IS A LITTLE BIT OVER 15 MILLION.

THE HOTEL GENERATES AND PROPERTY TAXES ALONE AROUND 779,000 DOLLARS IN PROPERTY TAXES.

BASED ON THE CURRENT MILLAGE RATES.

THAT WAS DONE IN 2020. THE TOTAL ILL ECONOMIC IMPACT IS OVER 20 MILLION A YEAR.

THAT GROWS SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE YEAR FIVE GOES TO 25 MILLION. DIRECT SPENDING FROM THE VISITORS. 253,000 IN TOURISM

[02:15:01]

DEVELOPMENT TAXES. 20% OF THE TAXES LEVIED.

AS DALE MENTIONED THIS IS A DESIGNATION HOTEL.

AND YOU WOULD STAY THERE MORE.

OVER 16,000 WHICH TRANSLATED OVER 33,000 ROOM NIGHTS.

>> THAT'S VERY IMPACT VISION IF YOU THINK ABOUT 16,000 ADDITIONAL VISITORS COMING DOWN TO THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE. SPENDING THEIR MONEY, AND ENJOYING OUR BEAUTIFUL DOWNTOWN.

BOTH DIRECT, INDIRECT AND INDUCED JOBS.

221 WITH HOTEL AND A COLLECTIVE PAYROLL OF 6.7 MILLION DOLLARS. AND THEN 2 MILLION DOLLARS IN STATE AND LOCAL TAXES PAID ACCRUING TO THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE. ALSO AS I MENTIONED DALE HAD DONE SOME INTERNAL CALCULATIONS ON THE ESTIMATED ANNUAL PROPERTY TAXES AND THIS WOULD BE THE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, THE CONDOS, TOWN HOMES, SHOPS, RESTAURANTS, ET CETERA ABOUT 5.8 MILLION WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO MATCH THESE UP WITH THE OTHER STUDIES.

I'M SURE THERE'S BLEED OVER. JUST QUICKLY ON THE UNDERSTANDING DIRECT INDIRECT INDUCED.

THE DIRECT IMPACT THE FUNCTION OF THE CAPITAL INVEST. .

PAYROLL AND THE SPENDING AS A RESULT OF THIS HOTEL.

INDIRECT THE BUSINESS TO BUSINESS FUNCTION.

VENDOR SUPPLIERS AND OTHER BUSINESSES ENTITIES SUPPLYING THE GOODS AND SERVICES.

THE NEW JOB THAT ARE CREATED THAT ARE SO INTERESTED IN.

THE INCOME AND THE EFFECT OF HAVING ADDITIONAL CONSUMER SPENDING TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO TAKE THE TIME TO DO THAT.

AS YOU CAN SEE. IT'S TREMENDOUS ECONOMIC IMPACT. TO THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE.

AND HAVING THAT TYPE OF CAPITAL INVESTMENT I DON'T THINK WE'VE SEEN THAT. ALSO COMMISSIONER JOHNSON I DID FIND THE WILLO LAKES AND THE WAVE GARDEN ECONOMIC IMPACT. I CAN SHARE THAT WITH YOU

LATER. >> I WILL BE STANDING BY.

>> THANK YOU. >> WELCOME.

>> THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING.

CHARLOTTE BOWYERLY DIRECTOR OF TOURISM FOR ST. LUCIE COUNTY. FEW BRIEF COMMENTS BUT FIRST I WANTED TO BE NOTED THAT I'M NOT SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

THEY HAVEN'T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO WEIGH IN ON THIS. I WANT TO SHARE COMMENTS WITH YOU. BASED ON MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION. I WOULD LIKE TO HONE IN ON THE HOTEL PORTION. JUST TO GIVE YOU BACKGROUND SPECIFICALLY IN FT. PIERCE. WE HAVE ROUGHLY 250 HOTEL ROOMS. THE PROPOSED PROJECT AS DALE MENTIONED EARLIER. WHICH IS CONSIDERED A UPSCALE HOTEL. THIS LEVEL OF HOTEL BEING PROPOSED DOESN'T CURRENTLY EXIST IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY.

THIS FIRST OF ITS KIND. HAVING HOTEL LIKE THIS COULD POTENTIALLY OPEN UP DOORS OF OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY WHICH I'M SURE YOU THOUGHT OF WHICH HAS BEEN MENTIONED IN PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS. FROM TOURISM ATTRACTOR PERSPECTIVE, OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE ATTRACTING MORE AFFLUENT TRAVELLER WITH HOTEL PRODUCT.

WITH PROPENSITY TO SPEND MORE IN YOUR CITY.

AND SUPPORT THE LOCAL BUSINESSES THAT ARE BUILT AROUND THE HOTEL AND BEYOND. ANOTHER COMPONENT THAT HASN'T BEEN TOUCHED ON IN MY -- SOME MY CONVERSATIONS IN HOTEL HAS AN OPPORTUNITY FROM WHAT I GATHERED WITH LUMARY. THIS THE MARKET THAT FT. PIERCE AND REALLY THE COUNTY DOESN'T REALLY TAP INTO VERY MUCH. WHAT IS IMPORTANT ABOUT THAT IT PUTS HEADS TO BED DURING WEEK NIGHT.

IT KEEPS YOU HUSTLING AND BUSTLING IN SLOWER TIMES OF

[02:20:07]

THE WEEK. WE KNOW DOWNTOWN IS DESIGNATION. HAVING OVER NIGHT ACCOMMODATION WILL ENHANCE THAT MORE.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> NOW I WOULD LIKE TO OPEN THIS UP TO THE PUBLIC.

AND WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO IS YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.

AND IF YOU'LL -- YOU CAN START WITH THE FIRST PERSON CAN COME UP, MAYBE YOU CAN CUE IN THE BACK.

>> IF YOU COULD PRINT YOUR NAME LEGIBLY.

IF YOU CAN JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. IF YOU PRINT IT ON THE SIGNING SHEET. YOU WILL SAVE US A LOT OF PAIN LATER.

THIS IS WRONG PROCESS. I WANT TO GIVE YOU SOME INSIGHT. 96 YEARS AGO YOUR PREDECESSORS HAD DECISION TO MAKE WHEN DOWNTOWN FT. PIERCE. I KNOW THAT BECAUSE MY CURRENT BUILDING WAS BUILT IN 1926.

YOU MAKE THE SAME DECISION THEY MADE.

COMMENTS ABOUT THE OTHER PROJECT WHICH I'M EXCITED.

I'M EXCITED BECAUSE TO YOUR POINT, COMMISSIONER JEREMIAH JOHNSON.

CURTIS JOHNSON YOU SAID THE WORKFORCE WAS IMPORTANT.

HOMEOWNERSHIP TO FT. PIERCE AS YOU HEARD JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO. IT'S ALL HAPPENING.

AND THEN COMMISSIONER PERONA.

WE TALKED ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE -- I MOVED HERE FIVE YEARS. INVESTED IN MY BUSINESS AND RESIDENCE. I BELIEVE IN THIS.

WE WILL MAKE THIS MONUMENT ADD ON TO WHAT WE HAVE FROM A SMALL TOWN PERSPECTIVE BUT PROVIDE US TO THE NEXT LEVEL SO THAT 100 YEARS FROM NOW WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS MEETING. AND TALK ABOUT ALL OF THE TRIAL AND TRIBULATIONS THAT I WENT THROUGH.

AS THE RESIDENT, BUSINESS OWNER AND LONG-TERM I LIKE

THE PROJECT. >> YES, SIR.

>> GOOD EVENING. RYAN COLLINS.

I LIVE AND WORK IN FT. PIERCE.

112 ORANGE OF. I CAN CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THE AMOUNT OF TIME, EFFORT, MONIES EVERYTHING THAT'S PUT INTO THIS, THIS BY THE COMMISSION AND STAFF OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS PLUS. I THINK PERSONALLY IT WOULD HAVE SAVED A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT AND CONTROVERSY IF THE CITY WOULD HAVE SOLD THE PROPERTY. GOT IT ON THE TAX ROLES TO HIGHEST BIDDER. BUT SINCE THE CITY AND THE COMMISSION PREFER PARTICIPATE IN THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS, HERE WE ARE.

WHEN THE COMMISSION COLLECTED THIS DEVELOPER IN 2019, THE PROJECT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE IN COMMUNITY HAD PUT INPUT ON. HAD SPOKE ABOUT AND WERE SOLD ON QUITE FRANKLY WAS 201960 CONDITIONO.

TO-ROOM HOTEL. TWO RESTAURANTS AND RETAIL SPACE. NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT 114 RESIDENTIAL UNITS. 140 ROOM-HOTEL.

FIVE RESTAURANTS AND RETAIL SPACE.

IT'S SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED IN SIZE AND MASS WITHOUT ANY ADDED PARKING SPACES. THAT'S MY BIG CONCERN.

WE HAVE ABOUT 300 PARKING SPOTS.

WE ALL KNOW THERE'S A PARKING ISSUE.

WE COULD WALK THROUGH DOWNTOWN.

EVERYBODY AGREES THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH PARKING.

WE CAN ALL ACKNOWLEDGE THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH PARKING. YOU KNOW AND TO ADD ALL OF THAT MUCH OF AN IMPACT INTO COME UP WITH THE NET GAME OF NEGATIVE ONE PARKING SPOT IS CONCERNING.

[02:25:01]

MY THOUGHT IF YOU WANT TO BE IN THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS; SERIOUSLY WORK ON YOUR NEGOTIATING SKILLS.

FIRST OF ALL YOU ARE GIVING AWAY A PIECE OF PROPERTY WORTH 3 AND A HALF OR 4 MILLION.

IT WAS 2.8 WHEN YOU SIGNED THE AGREEMENT.

THEN THIS DEVELOPER COME IN BEEN ABLE TO EXPAND IT TWICE. AND YOU KNOW MEANS MORE MONEY. MORE PROFIT FOR HIM.

ON THE CITY SIDE ON THE CITIZENS SIDE NO MOORPARKING SPOTS, NO MORE PUBLIC SPACES GREEN SPACES.

ART PROJECTS ANYTHING LIKE THAT ADDED TO THE PROJECT.

YOU KNOW, IF THIS GETS BUILD DOWN THE ROAD, THE CITY WILL BEING ON THE HOOK FOR TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLAR FOR ANOTHER PARKING GARAGE. WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO MARK? IT'S NOT ABOUT DENYING THE PROJECT. WE SEE THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ITS GOING TO HAVE. JOBS IT'S GOING TO BUILD AND GROW. THAT'S ALL UNDERSTANDABLE.

IT'S ABOUT REPRESENTING THE CITIZENS AND NEGOTIATING MORE EFFECTIVELY ON THEIR BEHALF.

GROWTH IS INEVITABLE. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE IT BENEFITS THE PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES HERE.

>> THANK YOU, SIR. >>

>> I LIVE DOWNTOWN. RESTORED 1905 HOUSE.

IT'S TWO STORIES TALL. BECAUSE THAT WAS THE TECHNOLOGY WE HAD IN 1905. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT KINGS LANDING. FT. PIERCE DESERVES THIS PROJECT. I HAVE ATTENDEDERETTE WHERE THIS PUBLIC HAD INPUT FOR THE LAST TEN OR FAEB YEARS WHAT WE WANTED TO SEE ON THAT PARCEL.

HOTELS, LIVE WORKPLACE RESIDENTIAL.

RESTAURANTS, RETAIL. WE WENT THROUGH TWO PRIOR RFP'S THAT DIDN'T MEET THE STANDARD OF WHAT THIS CITY DESERVES. I ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO MOVE THIS FORWARD. SO GROUND CAN BREAK AND THE FUTURE CAN BEGIN. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, MA'AM. YOU HAVE TO SIGN IN FIRST.

>> 116 NORTH SECOND STREET. YES, I WAS SWORN IN.

OKAY. UNDERSTAND THAT AS HISTORIC DOWNTOWN WE DON'T WANT TO CHANGE THE LAGOON FEEL WITH LARGE OVERDEVELOPED BUILDINGS.

THERE'S ONLY ONE BUILDING ASKING FOR TEN STORIES FOR RESIDENTIAL TO ACCOMMODATE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE.

THEN THE BUILDING DECREASE IN SIZE AS IT SCALES DOWN.

THE LARGER BUILDING ONLY BLOCKS THE RAILROAD TRACKS.

THERE ARE MANY -- THERE ARE PLENTY OF CITIES THAT HAVE EMBRACED PROJECT LIKE THIS ONE.

I CURRENTLY HAD A CUSTOMER FROM FT. MYERS.

THE COUPLE STATED THAT FT. MYERS WENT THROUGH SIMILAR STRUGGLES BECAUSE OF THEIR HISTORIC DOWNTOWN.

THEY SAID IN THE END IT WAS WELL WORTH IT.

AND THE BUSINESSES ARE FLOURISHING.

IT'S NOT AS INDRESS INTRUSIVE AS PEOPLE THINK.

I LOOK AT LUMINARY HOTEL. AND THEY DO GREAT JOB COLLECTING LOCAL JOB. THEY HAVE COMMUNITY EVENTS MOST EXACTLY THE SAME AS OURS.

THIS HOTEL IS A DESTINATION HOTEL.

NOT JUST AN OVER NIGHT HOTEL.

I HEARD PEOPLE SAY THAT IF AUDUBON DOESN'T GET WHAT THEY WANT THEY ARE OUT. THIS IS BUSINESS.

AND YOU HAVE TO CUT YOUR LOSSES AT SOME POINT.

THE PROJECT CONTINUED AGAIN THERE WILL BE NO PROJECT.

EVERY TIME A PROJECT IS CONTINUED IT COST MONEY.

I BELIEVE THIS DEVELOPER IS BETTER THAN MOST.

THE SIX RESTAURANTS THAT ARE IN THIS PROJECT ARE OUR NEIGHBORS. WE'VE GOT COB, PIERCE, PICKLE. 12-A BUOY.

THE COLLEGE, COFFEE SHOP FROM PORT ST. LUCIE.

THEY ARE NOT CHAINS. WE COULD HAVE HAD AN ANCHOR.

BUT INSTEAD WE ARE THE ANCHORS.

THE CITY AND THE BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY HARD TO MAKE DOWNTOWN A DESTINATION.

AND THIS PROJECT WILL HELP MAKE THAT POSSIBLE.

WE OBVIOUSLY NEED RESIDENTIAL AS WELL.

HOWEVER WE DEPEND ON TOURISM.

I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR MY LOCALS BECAUSE THEY GET ME THROUGH MONTH TO MONTH TO PAY MY OVERHEAD.

[02:30:03]

BUT IT'S ACTUALLY THE TOURISM THAT GIVES ME THE PROCHIT THAT I NEED TO AC

ACTUALLY LIVE ON. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> GOOD EVENING MADAM MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS.

I'M MICHAEL BROWN. I HAVE LIVED AND WORKED IN FT. PIERCE FOR 48 YEARS. AND DURING MUCH OF THAT TIME I HAVE SPENT IN MEETING LIKE THIS.

WE SEEN ALL THESE. DURING THE TIME ONE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT IN DOING IS BRINGING MORE RESIDENCES HERE AND THEN OF COURSE LATER ON IN THE PROCESS WE NEEDED A HOTEL. IN THE 48 YEARS EAR I THINK THAT WAS 15 YEARS AGO PLUS OR MINUS.

THAT'S THE ONLY ONE. AS FAR AS HOTEL AREN'T CONCERNED. THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY BUILT IN DOWNTOWN FT. PIERCE. I BELIEVE THE LAST ONE OF ANY CONSEQUENCE WAS PROBABLY TWENLT YEARS AGO.

AND IT'S NOT THE SAME AS IT WAS.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING FOR THIS 20 YEARS.

YOU HAVE WORKED ON PARKING. WE HAVE TO DO MORE OBVIOUSLY. YOU MADE SO MANY IMPROVEMENT. IT'S LIKE WE'VE BEEN DRESSED UP WITH NO PLACE TO GO. MR. PERONA.

NOW WE GET THE RESULTS FROM WHAT WE'VE DONE.

QUITE FRANKLY I'M DELIGHTED WE FOUND A DEVELOPER WILLING TO DO IT AND TAKE THE HISTORY.

I THANK HIM AND I HOPE YOU DO APPROVE THIS PROJECT.

>> THANK YOU, SIR. >> I'M BECKY DEMANUAL.

I LIVE IN FT. PIERCE AND HAVE A BUSINESS 205 NORTH SECOND STREET. I'VE RUN MY BUSINESS HERE FOR 8 YEARS. DURING THAT TIME WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT HOTEL. A LOT ABOUT RESIDENCES.

AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY CAME TO FRUITION.

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE HEIGHT OF BUILDING OR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A GARAGE. IT IS MORE FOR FAR REACHING.

ABOUT BRINGING LONG-TERM ECONOMIC PROSPERITY, ATTRACTING INCREASED TOURISM, ENCOURAGING BUSINESS GROWTH TO A CITY THAT HAS AND STILL IS STRUGGLING WITH THE NEGATIVE BRANDING.

AS ONE OF THE TOP ATTRACTSIVE CITY IN FLORIDA.

CITY ITSELF HAS SO MANY TREMENDOUS AT TRIBUTES.

PROXIMITY TO THE OCEAN. THE FANTASTIC INLET ACCESS FOR THE DIRECTOR SHIP BUILDING COMPANY AND OUR GORGEOUS MARINA ALONG WITH FISHERMAN'S WHARF PROJECT WILL BRING WITH THEM AN INCREASED NEED FOR HOUSING, RENTALS, HOTEL ROOMS AND PARKING.

THE KING DEVELOPMENT PROJECT PROVIDES THE ANSWER TO ALL OF THE NEEDS WITH INCREDIBLE VISION.

ALLOWS FOR DOWNTOWN SHOPS RESTAURANTS, BARS AND ENTERTAINMENT TO BE WITHIN EASY WALKING DISTANCE TO PROVIDE DRAW TO VISIT AND MAKE A HOME.

I KNOW I SPEAK FOR ALL THE BUSINESS OWNER WHEN I SAY THE APPEAL OF FT. PIERCE IS NOT JUST IT'S NATURALS A TRIBUTE BUT AN ATMOSPHERE THAT ALL OF US STRIVE TO CREATE TO APPRECIATE OUR LOYAL LOCAL RESIDENCES FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND PROVIDE THE KIND OF SERVICE AND WARM WELCOME THAT FUTURE VISITORS WILL COME TO EXPECT FROM OUR CITY. IN CLOSING I WOULD LIKE TO REITERATE WHAT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE A CONCERN THAT DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES CUSTOMERS AND PEOPLE THAT VISIT HAVE EXPRESSED MULTIPLE TIMES THE SERIOUS LACK OF PARKING AND TRAFFIC FOLLOW THAT EFFECTS US TODAY. AND WE'LL BECOME AN EXTREME PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE IN THE PARKING PLANNING AND IMPACT STUDIES NEED TO START NOW. SO A DECISION CAN BE MADE AND THE PROJECT COMPLETED BY THE TIME HOTEL PORTION OF THE KING DEVELOPMENT SITE IS COMPLETED.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> GARY MORRIS.

[02:35:12]

I NEEDED TO MAKE SOME NOTES. I'M PROBABLY THE ONLY PERSON SPEAKING NEGATIVE LLY ABOUT THE PROJECT.

TE ONLY REASON IT'S HERE NOW.

HISTORIC SOCIETY PUNTED THE FOOTBALL TO THE COMMISSION BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT IT TO BE TIED UP QUASI-JUDICIAL COMMITTEE ANY LONGER THAN IT NEEDED TO BE.

THEY CITY COMMISSION NEED TO MAKE A DECISION.

I CAME HERE 18 YEARS AGO FROM THE U.K.

I CHOSE THE PLACE BECAUSE OF THIS SMALL TOWN.

FEEL. ALL OF THE PEOPLE I SPOKE DIDN'T HAVE NEGATIVE WORD TO SAY ABOUT FT. PIERCE.

THE MAIN CONCERN ARE THE MASS AND THE PARKING.

THE SITE PLAN SAYS 161. WHICH IS YOU KNOW JUST OVER TEN FEET TALLER THAN THE SILOS ANOTHER PROJECT THE CITY COMMISSION PUSHED THROUGHOUT WITHOUT REAL PUBLIC INPUT. THE LACK OF PARKING.

THERE'S 299 SPACES. 140 PEOPLE COULD BE LIVING IN THE DEVELOP. ANYONE CONDOS.

ANYBODY SAYING AT HOTEL WILL HAVE CAR OR TRUCK OR

WHATEVER. >> THERE'S ANOTHER LOAD ON THE PARKING. THE CONFERENCE CENTER WILL OBVIOUSLY BRING YOU KNOW EVEN MORE PEOPLE.

AND ADD TO THE PROBLEM OF PARKING.

LOOKING THROUGH THE CITY RECORDS AND STUFF I SEE THERE'S A PARKING COMMITTEE. THEY MUST MEET FOR COFFEE AND BISCUITS AND TALKING AND FISHING.

I'M GLAD THE COMMISSION WITH THE OTHER PROJECT.

50 HOMES TO 50 ACRE. WHY ARE WE TRYING TO CRAM SO MANY HOMES. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME.

>> WE HEARD FROM EDC ON THE ECONOMIC IMPACT.

I'M A SIMPLE MAN. BUT 365 DAYS IN THE YEAR, DIVIDED BY 16,000 VISITORS IS 43 PEOPLE LESS THAN 66%

OCCUPANCY. >> THAT'S YOUR TIME.

>> I WILL HAVE TO COME BACK ANOTHER TIME.

>> LOCAL BUSINESS OWNER AND RESIDENT HERE.

>> YOU WERE SWORN IN; CORRECT?

>> YES, I WAS. >> REAL REAL REAL HAPPY THAT TO HAVE HOTEL DOWNTOWN. I USED TO WORK FIVE YEARS .- PRIOR TO HURRICANES. THERE'S NOT ANYWHERE FOR EVERYONE TO STAY. I'VE BEEN IN THE BUSINESS HERE 25 YEARS NOW. IT'S JUST ASTONISHING THERE'S NEVER A PLACE TO HAVE DOWNTOWN.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T GO THROUGH WE WILL KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD AND DEFINITELY IS GOING TO CONTINUE HURTING THE BUSINESSES THAT WE HAVE DOWNTOWN. I THINK THEY SAID 250 HOTELS IN THREE-MILE RADIUS. I WOULD WOULD PAY TO STATE AT 50 OF THEM. THE OTHER 200 YOU COULDN'T PAY ME TO STAY OUT. LEVEL OF HOTEL THAT'S COMING I'M BIG FAN OF. I'M ALSO LOOKING TO WORK AND HAVE A BUSINESS IN THERE AS WELL.

PARKING I'M EFFECTED BY THAT AS WELL.

THIS IS GOOD TIME FOR THE CITY TO STEP UP AND HE'S OFFERED TO ADD ADDITIONAL FLOORS AT THE CITY COST.

[02:40:04]

IF YOU GO DOWN THERE AS IS, YOU KNOW IT'S TOUGH PARKING DOWN THERE. JUST REALLY THINK YOU SHOULD STEP UP AND PAY FOR MOORPARKING GET MORE LEVELS ON WHAT HE'S DONE EVERYTHING THAT YOU GUYS HAVE ASKED OUT OF HIM. WHAT AMENITIES.

I THINK SUPERCEDED THAT BUT I'M A BIG FAN OF IT.

DESPERATELY WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO OPEN THERE.

IT'S BEEN EMPTY AND DERELICT FOR WAY TOO LONG.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>

>> WADE MURPHY JR. I WAS SWORN IN.

>> MAYOR AND COMMISSIONER, OUR FAMILY HAS BEEN WAITING FOR THIS GAME CHANGER TYPE OF PROJECT FOR 73 YEARS TO

HAPPEN IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. >> YOU LOOK PRETTY GOOD FOR

THAT. >> OUR OFFICE COMPLEX IS TWO BLOCKS NORTHWEST OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT.

EVEN THOUGH WE DONE GOOD BUSINESS FROM THAT LOCATION FOR THE LAST 73 YEARS WE'VE HAD MAJOR ISSUES OVER THOSE YEARS. ONE OF THE BIGGEST BEING THE PERCEPTION ISSUES OF FT. PIERCE.

HAS HAD PARTICULARLY IN THE PAST.

PEOPLE KNEW TO THIS AREA SAY IT'S A BAD PLACE TO LIVE.

IT'S A BAD PLACE TO HAVE A BUSINESS.

YOU CAN'T DRIVE DOWN U.S. ONE I'M REFERRING MORE TOWARD MY AREA. THE REALITY IS OUR OFFICE COMPLEX ONE BLOCK FROM AVENUE D HAS BEEN BROKEN INTO ONE TIME IN 73 YEARS. ALL MATCH WITH ANY COMMERCIAL PROPERTY IN STEWART AND VERO BEACH OR PALM BEACH. WE HAVE SEEN DEFINITE IMPROVEMENT IN OUR AREA. THE FEDERAL COURTHOUSE STATE OFFICE BUILDING. THEY BOTH GREATLY IMPROVE BLIGHTED AREAS. BUT NEITHER THE STATE OFFICE BUILDING OR FEDERAL COURTHOUSE HAS THE ECONOMIC -- IT'S NOT AN ECONOMIC GAME CHANGER LIKE THIS IS. TO OUR AREA.

THEY PAY NO PROPERTY TAXES. THE TAX REVENUE GENERATED BY THIS PROPERTY IS GOING TO BE TRANSFORMATIONAL TO FT. PIERCE. THE ENTIRE CITY WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS. THE DOWNTOWN MERCHANTS, THE DOWNTOWN RESTAURANTS STRUGGLE AREAS OF FT. PIERCE BECAUSE OF ALL THE ADDITIONAL CRA FUNDS.

I'VE ALWAYS SAID ONE OF THE BEST THINGS TO HAPPEN TO DOWNTOWN FT. PIERCE THE RENAISSANCE BUILDING BECAUSE FOR A DOWNTOWN TO THRIVE, YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE PEOPLE LIVING IN DOWNTOWN THAT HAVE THE FINANCIAL MEANS TO SUPPORT THE SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS.

ALWAYS SAID IF WE HAVE FOUR MORE OF RENAISSANCE WE WOULDN'T HAVE ISSUE WITH STRUGGLING BUSINESSES THAT GO IN AND OUT OF BUSINESS IN OUR AREA.

I KNOW THIS FIRSTHAND BECAUSE I AM LANDLORD OF SEVERAL OF THOSE BUSINESSES DOWNTOWN AND YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED WHO STRUGGLES DOWNTOWN.

AS BUSINESS OWNERS. THIS THE PROBABLY GOING TO BE EQUIVALENT OF FIVE RENAISSANCES.

AND I SAY GOD BLESS THEM. THE CONCERN ABOUT IT BEING OPENING THE WALL-TO-WALL 11 STORY BUILDING.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE CASE.

IT'S THE LARGEST UNDEVELOPMENT SITE.

ANOTHER SITES ARE FRACTION OF THE SIZE.

I DON'T THINK THEY CAN ACCOMMODATE WHEN IT COMES TO HEIGHT AND MAGNITUDE OF THIS.

I HOPE YOU VOTE IN FAVOR IT. JUST ONE REQUEST, PUT A ROOFTOP BAR AND RESTAURANT ON TOP OF THAT HOTEL AND

I'LL BE YOUR BEST CUSTOMER. >> THANK YOU, SIR.

>> >> I'M BROOK HARRIS.

IST I WAS SWORN IN. WE PURCHASED A HOME BUILT IN THE 1970. WE'RE FULLY INVESTED IT BACK TO LIFE AND UP WITH CURREN TIME.

RENOVATION IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN FT. PIERCE AND WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO GROWTH IN POSITIVE WAY. SAME WE BELIEVE IN KINGS LANDING. I REMEMBER THE FIRST CITY COMMISSIONER MEETING THAT APPROVED THE PROJECT PROPOSAL OF KINGS LANDING IN 2019.

THE ROOM WAS FULL OF LIFE AND EAGERNESS.

YOU COULDN'T HELP BUT IMAGINE THE FUTURE OF FT. PIERCE. THE POSSIBILITY FOR THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES AND LOCAL HOMEOWNERS BECOME

[02:45:07]

ENDLESS. I UNDERSTAND THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE CAUGHT UP ON THE UPDATED HEIGHT OF 11 STORIES. HOWEVER THE ORIGINAL POWER PLANT THAT EXISTED BEFORE WAS 15 STORIES HIRE.

THERE'S NO HEIGHTED RESTRICTION.

>> IMAGINE WHAT THE HOTEL AROUND.

COULD IT BE BASED ON THE WHAT AMAZING TOWN AND AMAZING PLACE TO SHOW CASE WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT.

AUDUBON HOTEL CREATES DESTINATION AND STAY-CATION.

TONIGHT NO-BRAINER TO ALLOW THE 11 STORIES SO WE HAVE NOTEWORTHY LOCATION AS LOCAL AND POTENTIAL VISORS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU, MA'AM.

>> I'M DAVID PIERCE. I WAS SWORN IN.

MAYOR HUDSON AND THE CITY COMMISSION.

FIRST OF ALL I'M 35-YEAR RESIDENT OF THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE BORN AND RAISED. I CAN REMEMBER WHEN THE SUNRISE THEATER WAS BOARDED UP.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU TO TURN DOWNTOWN INTO MUCH MORE TLIEFING PRODUCT LIKE IT IS NOW.

I'VE SEEN THE CONCERNS WITH THE RENAISSANCE.

I SAW IT WOULD BE THE NEXT MIAMI AND EVERY OTHER PROPOSAL WOULD MAKE THE NEXT MIAMI.

WE'RE STILL NOT MIAMI. I HOPE YOU WILL CONSIDER THAT GOING FORWARD. I TRUST THAT YOU CAN MAKE THE PARKING DECISIONS NECESSARY.

AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING YOUR GUYS THOUGHTS

ON THE PROPOSED COMMUNITY. >> THANK YOU, SIR.

>> I'VE BEEN SWORN. YOU JAMES TOBCIHCH.

I'M A BUSINESS OWNER ACROSS THE STREET.

>> I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SIX YEARS.

I WANTED TO TAKE A FEW MINUTES NOTHING REALLY PREPARED OTHER THAN TO SAY I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. WE NEED HOTEL SPACE.

WE NEED THIS KIND OF ATTENTION.

IT'S A WONDERFUL PROJECT AND I THINK IT'S PERFECT I WILLT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE HERE. THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE TO SAY. THANK YOU, SIR.

>> >> GOOD EVENING.

LESLIE OLSON, 1001 SOUTH EIGHTH STREET FOR THE

RECORD. >> WERE YOU SWORN?

>> YES. >> I'VE BEEN SINCE DAY ONE EYE BEEN BIG SUPPORTER OF THIS PROJECT.

UNTIL IT GOT TOO TALL. IT GOT TOO TALL AT THE PLANNING BOARD AND HAS CONTINUED TO GROW SINCE THAT TIME. IT'S CONTINUED TO GROW SINCE THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD ISSUED A COA.

FOR 121 FEET. STAFF PRESENTED 123 FEET.

THE SITE PLAN BEFORE YOU TONIGHT THAT YOU WILL BE APPROVING SAYS 135 FEET. OF FLOORS.

THAT'S REALLY MORE LIKE 13 STORIES.

WITH UP TO 160 FEET. OF OUR ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS HARD FOR US AS HUMANS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HEIGHT LOOKS

[02:50:03]

LIKE FROM JUST FEET; RIGHT? WHAT IS THAT? WHAT IS 1 -- EVEN 121 FEET WAS TOO TALL.

THIS STARTED AS 8 STORIES WHICH WAS PERFECT.

BECAUSE 88 STORIES IS ABOUT 1 AND A HALF TIMES AS TALL AS THE TALLEST BUILDING IN DOWNTOWN FT. PIERCE.

THAT WOULD BE GOOD -- THAT WOULD BE A GOOD PROPORTION TO GO UP. AND THAT WOULD FEEL RIGHT.

NOW WE'RE AT 11 BUT IT'S REALLY LIKE 12 AT 121.

THAT'S I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THE CONDO BUILDINGS ON NORTH BEACH. THOSE HAVE A HEIGHT LIMITATION OF 120 FEET. THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU'RE STAN STANDING NEXT TO 120-FOOT TALL CONDO BUILDINGS HOW MASSIVE THAT FEELS. THAT'S WHAT THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD APPROVED. IT'SEN TALLER TONIGHT.

I'M ASKING YOU, MY FRIENDS, I'VE BEEN HERE A LONG TIME.

THIS ROOM IS FILLED WITH MY FRIENDS.

I'M ASKING YOU TO REALLY CONSIDER WHAT THIS DOES.

IT WILL, ALL THINK SURPRISE EVERYONE.

HOW MASSIVE THIS WOULD FEEL. 8 STORIES WAS PERFECT.

12 STORIES TOO TALL. WHAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR TONIGHT WAY TOO TALL. JUST TO PUT ON RECORD I'M AICP CERTIFIED PLANNER. I'VE SERVED AS HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER. ASSISTANT PLANNING DIRECTOR.

I'VE CERTAINED AS PLANNING MANAGER AND DIRECTOR FOR OTHER LOCAL JURISDICTIONS. I HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE.

AND I'M TELLING YOU, THIS IS TOO TALL.

>> THANK YOU, MA'AM. >> TIM O'CONNELL NORTH

SECOND STREET. >> YOU WERE SWORN IN.

>> I WAS SWORN IN. QUICK AND SWEET.

I'M TIRED OF WALKING BY A VACANT PIECE OF PROPERTY.

BEEN WALKING BY FOR YEARS. PLEASE PUT THE SHOVEL TO THE GROUND. WE'VE BEEN THROUGH ALL THE MEETINGS. THIS WHAT THE TOWN WANT.

LIVE WORK AND PLAY. FIREMENS CONVENTION THAT WAS HERE, ALL THOSE FIREMEN COULD HAVE STAYED DOWNTOWN.

ALL THAT MONEY COULD HAVE STAYED DOWNTOWN.

WE NEED A HOTEL. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, SIR. >>

>> GOOD EVENING. KARA WOOD.

IST SWORN IN I LIVE AT 20 ORANGE AVENUE.

THAT'S THE REST SAUNT BUILDING.

I'M APPARENTLY ONE OF THOSE SPENDING MONEY IN DOWNTOWN SHOPS. I WILL MAKE A NOTE OF THAT.

>> SHOPPING ALL THE TIME. >> SHOPPING ALL THE TIME.

I CAME HERE TONIGHT WITH THE INTENT OF SPEAKING ABOUT THE CONCERN OF HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING.

I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING LESLIE JUST SAID.

I USED TO WORK IN THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.

I RAN HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROGRAM.

I STARTED THE URBAN DESIGN DIVISION WHEN THERE WAS URBAN DESIGN DIVISION IN THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE.

I'VE REVIEWED 16 YEARS WORTH OF DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.

IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY IN THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE.

I HAVE TO SAY THAT THE APPLICANT HAS DONE AN AMAZING JOB OF PRESENTING THE HISTORY OF WHAT'S HAPPENED HERE AND YOU KNOW I HAVE A MASTER'S DEGREE IN ARCHITECTURE. I CAN GET GEEKY ABOUT WHY IT'S TOO HIGH AND THE TOWER VERSES THE BASE VERSES THE HAT. YOU KNOW ALL OF WHAT LESLIE SAID IS ACCURATE IN THE ANALYSIS.

AND THE ECONOMIC IMPACT THAT EVERYONE IS VERY EXCITED ABOUT IS VERY TRUE. IT'S HARD TO SPEAK AGAINST THIS PROJECT. IT'S BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED.

I PROBABLY SAID THAT. MAYBE FIVE TIMES AND THE HUNDREDS OF PROJECTS THAT I'VE LOOKED AT.

I PERFORMIATE THE -- APPRECIATE THE INTEGRITY OF THE DEVELOPER. IF I SPEAK TOO STRONGLY AGAINST IT PETE MAY FIRE ME FROM THE BOARD.

THERE'S THAT TO CONSIDER. EVERYTHING THEY'VE SAID IS IMPORTANT. IT'S A HARD DECISION FOR THE COMMISSION TO WEIGH. I APPRECIATE THAT.

I WILL ASK FOR TWO THINGS. REFOCUS MY COMMENTS NOT ON THE HEIGHT BUT ON THE PARKING.

ON THE HEIGHT ONE THING I THINK IS VERY CONFUSING IS THE WAY THE NUMBERS HAVE PLAYED OUT.

THIS NUMBER OF 160. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT'S COMING. THE 135.

THERE'S A LOT OF NUMBER BEING THROWN AROUND.

[02:55:01]

IT'S HARD TO SEE AS A TRANSPARENT PROCESS.

I'M SURE IT'S ACCURATE. BUT THAT BECOMES VERY CONFUSING. STAFF CAN SPEAK TO THAT BEFORE THEY CAN APPROVE THE PROJECT SO THE PUBLIC CAN BE CLEAR. THEN ON THE PARKING ISSUE I HAVE TO ADMIT I DIDN'T FOLLOW TO THE END.

THERE'S SO MANY PUBLIC MEETINGS I CAN ATTEND.

I WOULD MAKE THAT AS THE PLEA TO THE COMMISSION TO CONSIDER FOR THE FUTURE AND THE WAY THIS IS TRENDS STARTS TO GO.

>> THERE IS THIS PHILOSOPHICAL PROBLEM OF FAVORING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND MONEY IN YOUR DOWNTOWN AND THEN OSTRACIZING THE EXISTING RESIDENCE OF ST. LUCIE COUNTY SOLD TO KENDRA

SITTER THAT. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. FIGURE 9.

>> STANLEY. >> 'SRIGHT HAND. YOU SWEAR TO TELL THE TRUTH AND

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. >> I DO. >> THANK YOU.

>> HELLO MY NAME IS STENSON AND I'M A RESIDENT OF FORT PIERCE AND ALSO A BUSINESS OWNER AND I JUST FINISHED RENOVATING THE OLD POST OFFICE BUILDING. WHEN I TOOK THAT ASSIGNMENT, A LOT OF PEOPLE QUESTIONED MY SANITY DOING SOMETHING ON THE WEST SIDE OF ORANGE AVENUE.

AND I CANNOT BE MORE HAPPY. ONE OF OUR COMMISSIONERS WAS THERE AND THANK YOU FOR COMING.

I'M ALSO 20 YEAR EXECUTIVE IN THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY WITH THE HOTEL CHAIN CALLED MARRIOTT AND UNDER THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN OVERNIGHT HOTEL AND THE DESTINATION ITSELF AND I THINK WHAT THEY HAVE DONE HERE WITH THE DESTINATION HOTEL IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED HERE IN

THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE. >> THANK YOU. REESE WANTED.

>> I WAS. >> INET AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

>> MY NAME IS BARRY PARKER AND I LIVE IN ST. LUCY WEST. WE MOVED TO FLORIDA ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO FROM PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY AND WE HAVE BEEN DRAWN TO DOWNTOWN FORT PIERCE BECAUSE IT REMINDS US A LOT OF WHAT WAS LEFT. LEFT A VERY VIBRANT LITTLE DOWNTOWN. IT HAD THEATERS, RESTAURANTS, CULTURE.

BUT IT ALSO HAD A BEAUTIFUL DOWNTOWN HOTEL CALLED THE NASSAU IN WHICH IS A DESTINATION HOTEL, PART OF THE OMNI CHAIN. I TRAVELED A LOT IN MY CAREER AND I AM A LIFETIME PLATINUM ELITE MEMBER FOR MARRIOTT IS A LOVE MARRIOTT HOTELS.

AND WHAT THE HOTEL THAT IS BEING PROPOSED HERE IS A BEAUTIFUL TYPE OF HOTEL.'VE STAYED AT THE RITZ CARLTON, THE JW MARRIOTT. ALL THE DIFFERENT PRODUCTS AND MARRIOTT. I THINK TO HAVE THIS CLASS OF HOTEL IN A SMALL TOWN IS A GAME CHANGER. SO LIKE I SAID, I'M A RESIDENT OF ST. LUCIE WEST BUT I'M LOOKING FOR TO BE A RESIDENT OF ST. SO VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT. VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT. I THINK IT IS A GAME CHANGER. WE'RE LOOKING TO BUY A CONDO ALL OVER FLORIDA THAT KIND OF REMINDED US. WE WANTED A LITTLE URBAN DOWNTOWN AND WE LOOK FROM THE PANHANDLE TO DOWN SOUTH. NOTHING FELT RIGHT UNTIL THIS PROJECT. THIS WILL FELT RIGHT FOR US. UNTIL WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO BECOMING A RESIDENT OF FORT PIERCE. AND WHAT I WANT TO SORT OF STATE IS AT THE SITE USED TO BE A POWER COMPANY AND PROVIDE ELECTRICITY TO THE CITY.

YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LET THE SITE PROVIDE ELECTRICITY AGAIN IN A RESIDENT SCIENCE TO THE CITY AND I THINK IT IS A GAME CHANGER AND UNFAVORABLE AND I HOPE IT GOES FORWARD.

>> 'S GOOD EVENING MET AMIR. MY NAME IS JAMES GLASPIE AND I LIVE IN FORT PIERCE.

[03:00:06]

A COUPLE OF QUICK COMMENTS. THIS DEVELOPER IS ASKING FOR MORE IN THIS MAJOR MOVEMENT WITHOUT OFFERING REAL PUBLIC BENEFIT IN RETURN. THE CITY IS OVER OFFERING GENEROUS INCENTIVES IN RETURN FOR WHAT THEY PREVIOUSLY AGREED TO BUILD.

IN FACT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THOSE INCENTIVES ITEMIZE OUT AND SHOW HIM WHAT EXACTLY WE HAVE GIVEN AND WE ARE OFFERING DOLLAR WISE TO THIS DEVELOPER JUST SO WE CAN HAVE THAT AS PART OF THE DISCUSSION. THE DEVELOPER SAID THE PARKING GARAGE CAN ACCOMMODATE ADDITIONAL FLOORS. IF WE ARE GOING TO TAKE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING -- IF WE ARE GOING TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER GRANTING THE DEVELOPER THESE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS THINK WE OUGHT TO MAKE THEM PAY FOR THESE ADDITIONAL FLOORS. I THINK WE SHOULD ALSO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER MR. MURPHY'S COMMENT THAT PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE BAR SHOULD BE REQUIRED AS A PUBLIC AMENITY ON THE TOP FLOOR OF THE TALLEST BUILDING AND WHY SHOULDN'T THE PUBLIC HAVE ACCESS TO THE GREAT VIEWS AT THE TOP. ALTHOUGH THESE ARE THINGS THIS BOARD CAN ASK FOR. THIS IS NOT SET IN STONE. THE BOARD HAS THE POWER AND AUTHORITY TO REQUIRE ALL OF THESE THINGS. THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD APPROVED THE COA THROUGH THE TUBE AT THEIR DECEMBER 14 MEETING.

WITH THE CONDITION THAT IF ANY CHANGE IS MADE TO HEIGHT, MASS, SCALE, SQUARE FOOTAGE OR PARKING THE CEO WOULD BE REVOKED AND THE APPLICANT WILL BE REQUIRED TO COME BACK TO THIS TORT BOARD FOR REVIEW. THE TALLEST BUILDING VERIFY THAT HER START PRESERVATION BOARD AND TONIGHT THE DEVELOPER IS ASKING FOR MORE THAN WHAT WAS APPROVED.

SITE PLAN CALLS OUT 160 FOOT ARCHITECTURAL FEATURE. I'VE HEARD THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OVER THAT AND IGNORE THAT CONDITION. BUT I THINK THAT IS A VERY SERIOUS THING THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A LITTLE MORE PCLOSELY AND PERHAPS YOU'VE BEE GIVEN BAD LEGAL ADVICE TONIGHT BUT I THINK THAT WAS THE CONDITION THAT WAS VERY CLEAR AND I THINK WE ARE NOT MEETING THAT CONDITION. I DON'T THINK THAT IT FITS OUR

HISTORIC DOWNTOWN. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU SIR.

ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION LEASE AND FORD. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADDRESS THAT WAS SENT HERE SINCE YOU LAST SPOKE.

I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING ADDITIONAL TO ADDRESS JUST ON THE HIDE ISSUE I JUST LIKE TO REPEAT WHAT STAFF POINTED OUT. THE HEIGHT IS MEASURED FOR THIS PROJECT AND THAT IS THE SPACE AND THEN ON TOP OF THE BUILDING ON A COUPLE OF BUILDINGS BACK FROM THE VERY FIRST RENDERINGS

AND THAT HASN'T CHANGED. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO CLOSE

THE PUBLIC HEARING AND WE ARE GOING TO DISCUSS THIS OR. >> WE ARE.

>> WE ARE. >> THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE TO DO.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO START OFF BY SAYING THAT THIS IS THE THIRD BITE OF THE SAMPLE WE HAVE HAD I'VE BEEN MAYOR. I THINK THERE WAS ONE OTHER PROPOSAL BEFORE THE SITE WAS EVEN CLEANED IN 2008 AND 2009. O THE FIRST TIME WE HAD AN RFP AND WERE GOING TO GO THAT ROUTE, THE PUBLIC SAID NO THAT IS NOT THE KIND OF DEVELOPMENT WE WANT.

IT IS NOT THE CALIBER YOU WANT. WANT A BETTER QUALITY AND SO THAT WAS WITH A COMPANY CALLED MOSAIC AND EVERYBODY WAS OPEN ARMS AND I REALIZED ONE OF THE WAYS YOU FIND OUT WHAT THE PUBLIC WANTS IS TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING THEY DON'T WANT BECAUSE THEN YOU HEAR FROM THEM. SO THE NEXT TIME WE GOT A HOTEL PROPOSAL AND IN THE FINAL

[03:05:01]

ANALYSIS WE DID NOT APPROVE THAT BECAUSE WE WERE TOLD DON'T SETTLE.

THAT HOTEL IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR FORT PIERCE. THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR WHAT WE WANT. DON'T JUST SETTLE. BUT THAT WAS TWO TIMES WE WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE RFP PROCESS. AND THEN WE SAID NO. SO HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS PROCESS WE HAVE GONE THROUGH FOR TWO YEARS AND WE HAVE GONE THROUGH DURING THE PANDEMIC DURING ALL KINDS OF OBSTACLES BILLING FOR THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN CONSISTENT IS THIS TOWN HAS WANTED A DOWNTOWN HOTEL.

THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN CONSISTENT. AND I WILL JUST SAY FROM THE HOTEL STANDPOINT SINCE I STAYED IN THE LUMINARY FROM FORT MYERS HAVING NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS PROJECT. THAT IS THE DESTINATION HOTEL. THEN I TALKED TO ONE OF THE COUNCILMEMBERS OF CITY OF FORT MYERS AND ASKED THEM WHAT FORT MYERS WAS LIKE BEFORE THAT HOTEL WAS THERE AND WAS IT A GAME CHANGER AND WHAT I FOUND OUT IS THAT THE POUND HAS KEPT A STRONG. THIS IS WHERE THOMAS EDISON SPENT HIS CLEANERS AND THAT IS WHY IT'S CALLED THE LUMINARY AND EVERY PLACE IN THE HOTEL HAS THE WHOLE THEME OF ELECTRIC LIGHTS IN THE FACT THAT THOMAS EDISON INVENTED THE ELECTRIC LIGHTS AND SO MUCH MORE INCLUDING MOTION PICTURES AND ALSO HENRY FORD WINTERED IN FORT MYERS AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF HISTORY IN FORT MYERS AND THAT TOWN HAS KEPT A STRONG. BUT RIGHT ON THE WATERFRONT WITH THE MARINA NOT TOO FAR AWAY THE LUMINARY HOTEL AND IT IS A 12 STORY HOTEL AND WHAT THE COUNCIL MEMBER FROM FORT MYERS TOLD ME IS THAT IT ATTRACTS LOCALS AS WELL AS TOURISTS BECAUSE LOCALS LIKE TO COME AND HAVE A DRINK ON THE ROOFTOP BAR.

AND OVERLOOKED THE COLUSA HASSEY RIVER. EVERY RIB TO HAVE A PHYSICIAN EXPRESS THEIR CREATIVE THINK ABOUT IT DOWNTOWN FORT PIERCE YOU CAN'T HAVE A MEETING FORT PIERCE BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO STAY. SO I THINK THAT IS A PROPOSAL THAT IS REALLY WONDERFUL FORT PIERCE SOMETHING FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS FIRST MADE SOMEBODY SAID TO ME I WILL DWELL IN A CONDO AND TOWNHOUSES, I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT I HAD DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN. BECAUSE DOWNTOWN IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PLACE 12 YEARS AGO. AND SO I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT THE HISTORY WERE REAL AS THE ASSISTANT ACREAGE AND WE'VE GOT A LOT OF POSITIVE WE HAD TWO NEGATIVES NOTE. ONE NEGATIVE IS SOME PEOPLE THINK BUILDING IS TO TALK THE OTHER NEGATIVE IS WE KNOW WE HAVE A PARKING PROBLEM. BUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT, THE PARKING PROBLEM IS NOT THE DEVELOPER'S PROBLEM, IT IS THE CITY'S PROBLEM. THAT IS THE CITY'S PROBLEM.

IF THE DEVELOPER WITH NO HEIGHT RESTRICTION AND NO PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR DOWNTOWN. SO THAT IS OUR PROBLEM.

AND THAT IS ALL OF OUR PROBLEM AND WE HAVE A VERY CAPABLE PARKING COMMITTEE THAT IS DOING MORE THAN DRINKING COFFEE AND EATING BISCUITS, AND WE ARE STRUGGLING TO DO BECAUSE WE ARE STRUGGLING THROUGH BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT WE COME UP WITH IS NOT NECESSARILY POPULAR LIKE SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY ON A NEW PARKING GARAGE. THAT MEANS MORE TAX DOLLARS AND TAKEN AWAY FROM SOMEPLACE ELSE CHARGING FOR PARKING.

NOBODY LIKES THAT. BUT WE ARE WORKING ON THAT AND WE KNOW WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

I THINK THIS IS A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME PROPOSAL

[03:10:02]

WITH A COUPLE OF NEGATIVES THAT SOME PEOPLE SEE IS NEGATIVES THAT I DO NOT THINK ARE GAME CHANGERS.

SO THAT IS JUST WHERE I AM. >> I USUALLY LET HIM LIKE MY

FELLOW COMMISSIONERS FOR START. >> WE ARE ALL IN SHOCK THE

MAYOR STARTED. >> AND WHEN I DO EVERYBODY

LISTENS RIGHT. >> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT AND LISTEN INTENTLY AND I THINK FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF HERE WE ARE IN FORT PIERCE SO WHEN RAISED, PRESIDENT OF FORT PIERCE TO ASSUME FORT PIERCE TRANSFORM IN AND OUT AND REMEMBER WHEN FORT PIERCE WAS THE MALL AND IT WAS CLOSED OFF ON SECOND STREET AND IT WAS AN OUTDOOR MALL AREA AND WHEN JC DENISE WAS DOWNTOWN. I GREW UP THERE AND GRIP THE REMEMBER WHEN THE POWER PLANT WAS THERE AND TICKLE TOMMY HILL IN THE ICEHOUSE IS TO BE DEPRESSED THE STREET.

I GREW UP WITH ALL THAT. AND WE FLASH FORWARD TO TODAY WHERE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE DOWNTOWN HAVING BREAKFAST AND I SAW A BRIGHT LINE COMPUTER AND I SAW THE TRAIN IN THAT TRADE CAN FIGURE I WAS MORE EXCITED FORT PIERCE AND THE OPPORTUNITY THAT THAT WILL BRING, I HOPE IT STOPS.

I DO PERSONALLY BUT THAT IS ANOTHER SUBJECT MATTER BUT THAT CHANGED, THROUGH TODAY AND FLASH FORWARD TO TONIGHT'S CONVERSATION ABOUT THE CRUISE OUT WEST AND A REAR WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT SOMETHING DOWNTOWN THAT WILL.

THE PERSON THAT I LEFT HERE AND CAME BACK HERE AS RESIDENT BEFORE I LEFT AGAIN AND WE USED TO HAVE THE CALLED DESTINATION HOTELS AND THERE WERE ANOTHER NUMBER OF CONFERENCES THAT WOULD COME TO TOWN PERIODICALLY TO SERVICE THE LOCAL.

WE LOST OUT IN THE HOLIDAY INN AND THE BEACH GOT DESTROYED BY THE HURRICANE.MID-LEVEL THEY LOST THE ECONOMIC ENGINE AT THAT POINT THAT BROUGHT COMMERCE OF THE TOWN THAT PEOPLE ALL OVER THE TOWN COMPARED TO HAVE THEIR FRATERNITY AND SORORITY CONFERENCES OR IF THE MASONIC CONFERENCES. WHATEVER IT WAS PEOPLE CAN HEAR A LOOK AT IT FROM THE ECONOMIC ENGINE OF JOBS.

TO BUILD THE SITE. MY COMMENTS STILL REMAIN THE SAME OF LOOKING FOR LOCAL BUILDERS AND PEOPLE THAT WILL GET INTO THESE TRADE-OFFS THAT WERE CURRENTLY TRYING TO DEVELOP TRAINING PLATFORM SO THAT HOUSES SCALE HIGH-PAYING JOBS TO BUILD THIS AND ALSO MAINTAIN IT ONCE THINGS START TO GET BROKEN BECAUSE IT WILL GET BROKEN BUT AT THAT IT'S A PART I LOOK AT AND YES WE ARE AWARE OF PARKING.

WE HAVE HAD A LONG DISCUSSION HERE ABOUT PARKING WE HAVE A LIAISON ON THE BOARD AND WE HAVE HAD TOUGH MEETINGS ABOUT THAT WE ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BUT BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR WHEN YOU SAY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT ALSO MAY MEET INCREASING TAXES.

WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WE WILL DELIVER WHAT WE HAVE TO DELIVER BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WE ARE TRYING TO BALANCE THIS BUT I AM IMPRESSED WITH THE WORK THE COMMITTEE IS DOING.

GIVEN THAT THE CURRENT SITUATION EVEN A STRATEGIC PLANNING MEETING WITH UNDERGROWTH.

WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ADDITIONAL BENEFITS AND THINK THAT THIS PROJECT, THE PROJECT ON THE STREET WITH THE WHARF, FISHERMAN'S WHARF AREA THAT THE THINGS THAT WE KNOW THAT ARE COMING TO THIS AREA THAT WE ARE TAKING THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WE ARE NOT GOING TO TRY TO PIECE MELISSA.

WILL LOOK AT A CONFERENCE PLAN OF WHAT THE FUTURE LOOKS LIKE 5 TO 10 YEARS DOWN THE LINE AND THAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE PARKING. I DO SAY THAT BECAUSE I WANT

[03:15:01]

THE PUBLIC TO BE AWARE THAT THESE MEETINGS ARE HAPPENING AND THAT'S NOT ALWAYS AN EXCITING MEETING LIKE THIS WE GET A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE BUT JUST KNOW THAT WE ARE DOING THE WORK AND HAVING THESE TOUGH CONVERSATIONS EVEN IN THE RAIN IS NOT THE FAULT OF THINK ABOUT.

AN ECONOMIC ENGINE THAT WE ALL WANT.

IT IS THE ONE THING WE SHARE HERE IS THAT WE ALL NEED THAT ENGINE WAS FORT PIERCE THE SCIENTISTS WITH DOWNTOWN.

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE SHORT ONE OVER ON THE WEST SIDE AND HOW THAT WILL PROVIDE FOR OPPORTUNITIES.N A DESTINATION FOR PEOPLE TO COME AND ENJOY THEMSELVES.

AND SO THAT IS MY COMMENT. I WOULD AT SOME POINT LIKE STAFF TO CLARIFY FOR ME THIS HEIGHT AND I WILL LOOK OVER WHAT THE HEIGHT IS AND THEN TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE CAP OR WHATEVER THAT LITTLE THING IS.

TO BEGIN AT SOME POINT. AND I WANT TO GET THAT CLEAR MY MIND BEFORE WE PROCEED BACKS I THINK YOU'RE INTERESTED EARLIER. BIKES THE HEIGHT OF THE TOWER HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON ELEVATIONS. AT THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD WITH NO HEIGHT, EVERYTHING WAS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN FOR EVERY BUILDING WAS DESCRIBED.

SO ON THE BOARD THAT WAS DISCUSSED AND AGREED UPON, THE ARCHITECT WAS THERE AND THE FIRM WENT TO FURTHER DEFINE AND PITTED ON THE SITE PLAN AND THAT IS WHERE THE NEW SITE PLAN IS THAT I INCLUDED AS PART OF THE AGENDA PACK.

IT TAKES WHAT THOSE FEATURES ARE AND IT DIFFERENTIATES THE 10TH AND 11TH FLOOR BECAUSE IT ALWAYS HAD 11 FLOORS FOR THAT RESIDENTIAL TOWER BUILDING AND IT WAS AGREED UPON THAT THE 11 FLOORS RELATE OPEN AIR THERE PORTIONS THAT THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE IT WAS BEING DEFINED AS HABITABLE SPACE AND UNINHABITABLE AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE THE DIFFERENTIATION IN THE ONE 2101 23.

IT IS VERY MINOR AND IT'S SOMETHING DARK THAT FELT SHOULD BE THE CORRECT NUMBER. AND THEN THESE INVESTMENTS AND FEATURES WHICH HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE AND IT IS MEASURED ON THE ELEVATIONS. IT JUST WAS NOT PLACED ON THE SITE PLAN AND NOW IT IS.> I REMEMBER THE EMBELLISHMENT AT SOME POINT. MY LAYMAN'S TERMS IS LIKE A LIGHTHOUSE CANE. PEOPLE WOULD BE UP TO SEE THIS LITTLE THING UP THERE WHEN YOU'RE OUT WEST OR EAST OR WHATEVER TO REALLY KNOW THAT THAT'S THERE.

I'M ASSUMING THAT'S WHAT IT IS. AND THAT'S A MUCH BETTER BUT

THE SOUTHWEST. >> SOUTHEAST.

>> GOT VERY UNDONE. >> THIS IS A QUASIJUDICIAL HEARING TO HAVE TO STICK TO SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE AND AM REMINDED OF THAT ALL THE TIME. WHAT I LIKE AND DON'T LIKE AND ALL THE OTHER TYPE OF THINGS REALLY DOESN'T MATTER.

IT IS SYMBOLS ARE. THE FIRST OF ALL, I RECALL BACK IN 2010 WE ARE IN A STRATEGIC PLANNING AND THE COMMISSION AS WE TALKED ABOUT BUILDING THE ECONOMIC BASE.

WE NEED MORE AND BETTER PUBLIC SERVICES AND INFILL DEVELOPMENT. WE HAD TO REMOVE THE FLIGHT IN EDGARTOWN AND THAT WAS A BIG DEAL.

WE HAD TO FIND MORE FUNDING FOR POLICE AND MORE JOBS.

SO WE CAME UP WITH IN PART OF THE STAFF AND THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE CAME FORWARD AND WE CREATED THIS IS AN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT AND WITH THAT WE TOOK AWAY THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND A LOT OF OTHER THINGS TO LURE PEOPLE TO DOWNTOWN BECAUSE WE COULDN'T GET ANYBODY TO LOOK AT US.

WHEN MORE VACANT STOREFRONTS THAN WE HAD ACTIVE STOREFRONTS.

WE WERE DESPERATE IN TRYING TO DO THAT AND IT WORKED.

I LEARNED PEOPLE IN THIS AREA AND THIS IS ONE OF THE DEVELOPMENTS WE LURED. SO I WOULD THINK MOST OF MYSELF. IF GOT TO FIX THE PARKING ISSUE.CITY OF FORT PIERCE AT THAT MOMENT IN TIME TO PERMIT RESPONSIBILITY 100 PERCENT. THE ONLY REASON WHY THERE IS

[03:20:05]

PARKING INCLUDED IN THIS DEVELOPMENT PLAN RIGHT NOW IS BECAUSE IF THE CITY DOESN'T PROVIDE SOME PARKING IN THAT AREA, THE BODY WILL GO TO THE RESTAURANTS, NOBODY WILL DO ANYTHING TO PROVIDE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF THAT.

SO WE KNEW THAT. THAT WAS AN EASY CALL FOR US 12 YEARS AGO. IT IS NOT SO EASY ANYMORE.

NOW WE HAVE TO DELIVER. IN OUR PARKING COMMITTEE HAS BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS.

RIGHT NOW WE ARE REACHING OUT AND TRYING TO FIND AND IDENTIFY POLICY AREAS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO INVEST AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET PRIVATE INVESTMENT ALSO.

SO TO ME THAT GETS REMOVED FROM THIS ENTIRE TOPIC RIGHT NOW.

IT'S NOT ABOUT PARKING. WE GET A HEIGHT, YEAH.

EIGHT STORIES, 10 STORIES, 12 STORIES, ALL OF THE VERTICAL FEET GOING INTO THE AIR. THAT IS IMPORTANT ON THE LOOK OF THE COMMUNITY AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

IF WE HAD THAT IN MIND, WE SHOULD'VE HAD THAT RESTRICTION LONG BEFORE WE GOT TO THIS POINT.

IN SOME OF THE FOLKS THAT WERE IN FRONT OF US TODAY AS PAST EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY IN THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT COULD HAVE BROUGHT THAT TO THE COMMISSION AND THAT COULD HAVE BEEN ORDAINED AT THAT MOMENT IN TIME.

WE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS.

SO WHEN IT COMES TO THIS, WE OPENED THAT DOOR UP.

WE SAID BRING IT ON IN. WE HAVE NO HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS.

WE HAVE NO PARKING REQUIREMENT GIVE US SOMETHING THAT ACCOMPLISHES ALL THOSE ISSUES THAT WE TRIED TO FIX IN 2010.

AS WE ARE. AND I HAVE SAID NOTE TO HISTORY TIMES MAN, A RIGHT. EARLY ON EVERYBODY GOT INCITED BY THE HOTEL. IT WAS SOMETHING I REMEMBER SOMEBODY SITTING IN MY OFFICE AND WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING IT TOOK A LOT OF UNDERSTANDING AND A LOT OF HOPE TO SAY THAT'S NOT THE FORT PIERCE SC BECAUSE IF WE GET A 95 -- ROUTE 95 HOTEL IN DOWNTOWN FORT PIERCE, THAT DEFINES US GOING FORWARD FOREVER. AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT.

WE GOT OUT FOR THIS REALLY RIGHT NOW WE ARE PLANNING THAT IS SO GOOD, IT'S TOO BIG, TOO WONDERFUL.

WHILE THIS IS REALLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED THE LAST 12 YEARS I'M NOT TRYING TO DOWN ANYBODY THAT TALKED AGAINST THE DEVELOPMENT AT ALL BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT ON MANY LEVELS.

BUT THIS IS A QUASIJUDICIAL ISSUE.

BASED ON DECISIONS MADE IN THE LAST 12, 15 YEARS AND HERE WE ARE. WE CAN'T COME ALONG AT LAST MINUTE AND SAY HEY,, YOU KNOW, WE THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND WE WOULD LIKE TO REMAIN THE LITTLE COASTAL OFFICIAL THING TO LEACH FISHING VILLAGE WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN.

THAT DEAL HAS BEEN RUN. WE NEED TO OPEN OUR ARMS UP AND BRING THESE FOLKS AND IN DOING IT IN THE RIGHT AND PROPER WAY.

SO AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, I SEE NO SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE TO DENY THIS OR EVEN GIVE THIS A SECOND THOUGHT.

>> COMMISSIONER, BEING THE NEW GUY ON THE SEAT.

>> YOUR HONEYMOON IS STILL GOING ON.

>> I THOUGHT I WOULD BE QUIET BUT SOMETHING YOU JUST SAID IS -- I HAVE READ EVERYTHING THAT I'VE BEEN GIVEN.

I AGREE YOU CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THE FOURTH QUARTER AND ITS FIRST IN 10 ON THE GOAL LINE AND THEN YOU SAY YOU DON'T HAVE BUT ONE THING DOWN TO MAKE A TOUCHDOWN.

IF WE SAY THERE'S NO HEIGHT REQUIREMENT, AND NOW ARE FRIGHTENED ABOUT HEIGHT REQUIREMENT, THAT IS SOMETHING I FEEL THAT THE DEPENDENCE OF YEARS AGO BEFORE WE EVEN GOT THE POINT. I LISTENED TO SOME OF THE CONCERNS. IN ONE OF MY FIRST MEETINGS WAS THE REPORT FROM THE PARKING COMMITTEE.

I WAS LIKE WOW, THIS IS WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR.

AND THE REASON I SAY THAT IS BECAUSE IT WASN'T EXCITING LIKE TONIGHT. IT WAS ABOUT PARKING SPACES AND I'M LIKE I'M SITTING HERE LISTENING TO PARKING SPACES.

WHERE TRYING TO FIND MORE PARKING SPACES.

SO WE UNDERSTAND THE PARKING PROBLEM.

WE DO, THEY DO AND THEY BROUGHT ME UP TO SPEED OR CLICK ON THE PARKING SPACES. BUT I TOO BORN AND RAISED IN PIERCE, BORN AND RAISED IN FORT PIERCE AND I WILL BE HERE TO TELL YOU THAT I WOULD NEVER HAVE THOUGHT GROWING UP CURTIS

[03:25:02]

THAT WE WOULD BE SITTING HERE TALKING ABOUT A DEVELOPMENT LIKE THIS IN FORT PIERCE. I WILL JUST BE HONEST WITH YOU.

I REMEMBER THE HOLIDAY INN THAT TURNED INTO THE RADISSON BEFORE THE HURRICANE DESTROYED. I REMEMBER DAD AND HIS ORGANIZATIONS MEETING AT THE HOLIDAY INN OUT BY THE TURNPIKE AND ME AS A LITTLE KID RUNNING AROUND THINKING THIS WAS A BIG DEAL. I HAVE NEVER STAYED AT THE PROPERTY IN FORT MYERS BUT I STAYED ANOTHER HOTELS LIKE THIS. AND TO SAY THERE IS A DESTINATION FOR THEIR COULD BE A DESTINATION HOTEL IN FORT PIERCE. EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT I'M SAYING. IN FORT PIERCE.

THAT IS A BIG ALONG WITH OVER GOING TO THE DESTINATION HOTEL BUT BY THE WAY BEFORE YOU START THERE ONCE YOU GET YOURSELF AMOUNT. THIS IS FORT PIERCE WERE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT. AND I HEAR ALL THE STORIES ABOUT UNWANTED CHANGE IN THE MIND ENEMY AND BE FORT LAUDERDALE. I NOTE THE RESIDENCE OF FORT PIERCE AND THIS IS NOT CAN HAPPEN.

SO THIS IS A BIG DEAL TO ME. I DON'T HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE ECONOMICS. EVERYBODY KNEW THE ECONOMICS.

T'S FORT PIERCE. AND IT'S JUST ME.

I GOT TO DO SOME MORE READING OF PLANS AND WHATEVER HAS IF I'M CONFUSED OR HAVE SOME CONCERNS ON THESE NUMBERS.

CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE PUBLIC IS SEEING THE SAME NUMBERS AND HAVING SOME CONCERNS BUT I'LL FIGURE THAT OUT.

I'M LOOKING AND I REMEMBER READING THE RENAISSANCE BUILDING WAS BUILT AND I THINK WE HAD THE SAME CONCERNS ABOUT THAT RENAISSANCE BUILDING INTO THE OFFICE.

IT WASN'T GONNA LOOK RIGHT DOWN THERE AND IT WAS A TAKE AWAY FROM EVERYTHING DOWN THERE AND IT AND NOW IT'S JUST PART OF DOWNTOWN. AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT. I HAVE SOME CONCERNS FROM THE PARKING AND I THINK WHAT YOU BROUGHT UP ABOUT THE STUFF.

AS FAR AS GOING FORWARD, I LIKE THE PROGRAM IN THE PROJECT AND I THINK IT'S JUST GOING TO MAKE FORT PIERCE JUST WHEN YOU DO THAT GOOGLE SEARCH ON THE EAST COAST, FORT PIERCE SHOULD POP UP FIRST AND WORKING ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

>> COMMISSIONER X SITTING IN SILENCE.

GOOD JOB COMMISSIONER. WELL SPOKEN AND WELL STATED.

MONA TALK ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE PROJECT ITSELF.

THIS IS ALWAYS BEEN THE PUBLIC HANDS, ALWAYS.IN 1912 ON THANKSGIVING DAY IS TODAY THE TERM THE POWER PLANT ON ON THE PROPERTY. SHOW YOUR COMMISSION AT THAT TIME HAD TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY WANTED TO BE AFTER THEY TURN THE CEMENTED ON THAT AND THAT THE SUPPLY POWER TO THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE AND THEY SUPPLY POWER TO THE CITY AND SO IT'S ALWAYS BEEN IN PUBLIC HANDS AND SO I TALKED ABOUT THAT HISTORY BECAUSE THERE IS SOME SPEAKER TO THE TALKED ABOUT GETTING OUT OF THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS AND I CAN PROMISE YOU IF YOU HAD ASKED MR. MIMS THAT I'M NOT THE JOB GUY THAT WANTS TO BE THE LANDOWNER BUSINESS. ALONG TO HIM AS MUCH AS I POSSIBLY CAN BE OF GOVERNMENT NOT BEING IN THAT REAL ESTATE BUSINESS SO THAT ARBITRARILY SAY SO SOLD AND MOVED ALONG WE DECIDED IN 1912 AND I WOULD HAVE TO MAINTAIN AND CLEAN UP THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY. WE DECIDED THAT THE CITY.

WHEN HIS SISTER IN THE CITY SO HERE WE ARE REMOVING THAT ALONG. I'M VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THE CITY FROM MOVING THAT ALONG AND CLEANING UP.

[03:30:18]

BUT ABOUT 10 VOLUNTEER THE BOARDS AND ALSO VOLUNTEER ON THE PLANNING BOARD AND WE TALKED ABOUT AND WE GET FOLKS LIVING DOWNTOWN. WHEN WE DO WE TALK TO THE PERRUSO ABOUT TRANSFERRING THE COURT FROM OUT OF TOWN MAYBE FROM THOSE SERVICES HAVE MORE EMANCIPATION OF OTHER STOREFRONTS OF THE FACT THAT LOCAL BUSINESSES DOES THAT MEAN THAT WERE NOT OPEN TO IT NO IT DOESN'T.HOWEVER BE TO HAVE A COMMUNITY OF LOCAL INTEREST IMMEDIATELY INVESTING IN POTENTIAL OF THE DEVELOPMENT RIGHT HERE IN DOWNTOWN.

I'M NOT GOING TO PARKING HAVE BEEN GOING THERE.

TAX REVENUE AND TAX CREDITS. THERE'S BEEN CONVERSATION AND A LOT OF SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS THINK WHAT IS GOING TO BE THE CREDIT OVER TIME. I WAS DECIDED IN THE MEETING AND I'M PRETTY SURE I THOUGHT OF WHAT THAT SEND HOTEL COMPONENTS ALL COME TO FRUITION.

THAT IS OUT THERE AND I THINK THAT'S VERY SHORT.

LET'S TALK ABOUT BRIGHT LINE FOR A SECOND.

AUDUBON'S TALKED ABOUT HAVING CONVERSATIONS BRIGHT LINE CAME THROUGH. HE TALKED ABOUT IT TODAY.

BREITLING WAS ONE OF OUR APPLICANTS.

THERE HAS BEEN AN LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT.

AND THEY PROBABLY HAD A GOOD IDEA BUT WE GUESS THEM WHEN THEY WERE GONNA COME TO FORT PIERCE AND NO ANSWER.O YOUR ANSWER. I LOOKED HIM SQUARE IN THE FACE AND ASKED HIM WHAT ARE YOU COMING AND I SAID WELL COMMISSIONER TO BE HONEST, THE COURT ORDER I HAVE TO BE ON THE TREASURE COAST UNTIL FIVE YEARS AFTER ORLANDO'S STATION IS COMPLETE. SO MY NEXT QUESTION, MS. ORLANDO GOING TO BE COMPLETE AND THEY SAID WELL WE THINK IN 2022 AND THIS WAS PREACH OF IT AND IT IS HAPPENING.

IF YOU GET HIM 528. IF YOU GET ORLANDO IT'S HAPPENING. IT'S A HUGE STATION AND I'M FAIRLY IMPRESSED. MIAMI, BEEN THERE, LOOK AT THAT. HUGE STATION IN EACH OPPORTUNITY BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO FORT PIERCE.

I DID NOT HAVE AN ANSWER. SO A DECISION TO CHOOSE OUT OF BONDS IN THIS CASE. WHEN I LOOK AT FEC IN THE PROPERTY, MOST OF OUR PROPERTIES AROUND THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE AND THE CROSSINGS THAT ARE HERE, OKAY LOOK AT THE SEVEN ACRES AND SEE WHAT KIND OF OPPORTUNITY THERE IS ALONG THE RAILROAD TRACKS. THERE IS OPPORTUNITY THERE.

WHEN I FIRST BECAME A COMMISSIONER IN THERE IS OPPORTUNITY THERE. WHEN I FIRST BECAME A COMMISSIONER IN 2016 BUT WE MADE AN INVESTMENT IN 2017 TO BUY SOME PROPERTY OF TO THE SOUTH OF ORANGE AVENUE, NOT KNOWING EXACTLY BUT WE HAVE PARKING THERE SO WE DECIDED TO CONTROL HER OWN DESTINY SO WE WOULD HAVE ADDITIONAL PARKING.

WE ALSO OWNED THE LAND HE SAW AN APPLICATION TONIGHT RIGHT ALONG THE PARKING GARAGE TO THE NORTH AND WEARING AWAY.

WE ARE REBRANDING AND CHANGING BUSINESS.

SO IS THERE A CHANCE FOR BREITLING, SIR.

I'M EXCITED. I WANT THEM TO BE HERE.

I HEAR FROM ST. WE MESSED UP. I DISAGREE.

FROM THE CONVERSATIONS I SET IN WHERE IT THE RIGHT PLACE THE RIGHT KIND TODAY. AND I WILL GIVE YOU HINTS ENOUGH TO THE MEDIA HERE THERE'S ABOUT FIVE OR SIX ACRES

[03:35:03]

TO THE SOUTH OF ORANGE AVENUE WEST SIDE OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS BETWEEN THE RAILROAD TAX AND US1.

GUESS WHO OWNS IT, FEC, CITY OF BERKELEY.

SOME CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY STRENGTH THAT IS ALL THE WAY TO THE CITRUS OVERPASS. IF YOU START LOOKING AT WHERE A BRIGHTLINE STATION SHOULD BE IT'S OVER THERE.

THERE ARE SOME MASSIVE LAND OVER THERE AND IT IS BETWEEN THE CITRUS OVERPASS TO ORANGE AVENUE.HE BRIGHTLINE, WHEN YOU'RE LISTENING, WE WANT YOU HERE AND WANTED TO BE AN OPPORTUNITY WITH THE CROSSWALK ACROSS THE RAILROAD TRACKS THAT CONNECTS TO MAYBE THE COUNTIES PARKING GARAGE THAT CONNECTS TO THAT COMPLEX IN DOWNTOWN. MAYBE IT'S A DECISION THAT AUDUBON. MAYBE THERE'S SOME OF THE PARKING GARAGE TO THE NORTH. I DON'T KNOW BUT WE WILL CROSS THAT WHEN IT COMES. I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

AND YOU ARE HERE WAS SAYING TO MY IDEAS OF THINGS FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD FROM THE PUBLIC AND NINE BEING THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. I AM SITTING HERE TODAY TALKING ABOUT WHAT I HAVE HEARD AND LISTEN TO.

SO LET'S GET INTO THE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION AND COMMISSIONER BROUGHT UP A PAGE. IF YOU SCROLL DOWN TWO OR THREE PAGES ALL THE SCREENS, IF YOU CAN SCROLL DOWN A COUPLE OF SHEETS I BELIEVE IT IS THE ELEVATIONS OF THE BUILDING.

NOTE A FEW MORE. THE MORE TIME.

THAT IS IT. IT IS NOT JUST SAYS SO.

THE SOFTWARE THEM THERE ON THE PAGE.

THE WERE GOING FIRST PART TALKING ABOUT ARCHITECTURAL STYLE AND I WAS PART OF THE VOTING MEMBERSHIP OF THE COMMISSION WOULD LOOKED AT THE PROPOSED DESIGN.

IT IS DIFFERENT TODAY. SAW A LOT OF QUESTIONS I REALLY DO. LESS LESSONS WITH THE HEIGHT OF MATH QUESTIONS WITH WHERE THINGS ARE PLACED IN A TALK TO THE DEVELOPER TALK TO DALE AND I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT TALK TO PETE ABOUT THE TIMELINE PRESENTED IN HOW WE GOT THROUGH TO THIS FAMILY TO WHERE WE ARE. PLAN THE NUMBERS.

START LOOKING AT NUMBERS AND I LIKE NUMBERS EVENTUALLY BUDGETS AND FORECASTS AND I UNDERSTAND WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM AND I KNOW WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR. I THINK I KNOW VERY HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING BASED ON INPUT FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES INCLUDING THE GROUP, AUDUBON GROUP.

WHY WOULD YOU TRANSITION RETAIL AND INTO OTHER RESTAURANT SPACE. I HAVE HEARD FROM RESTAURANT OWNERS IN ADVANCING THAT IS COOL BUT I'M NOT SO SURE ABOUT THAT AND I HAVE FEDERAL CONVERSATIONS WITH FOLKS ABOUT THAT AND THAT THE REAL WORRY FOR THEM.

AT THE SAME TIME, I HAVE ASKED THAT THEY LOOK AT THE ASPECTS OF THE ENTIRE MOVEMENT OF WHO AND WHAT AND WHEN AND WHY FOLKS ARE COMING IN FOR DOWNTOWN. WHAT KIND OF OFFERINGS ARE THERE GOING TO BE. SO BACK TO THE ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS. I AM NOT FULLY CONCERNED.

THE ELEMENTS ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME.

BRETT STARTED TO DEVIATE IS GETTING IN THE PARKING, STARTED GETTING INTO PEOPLE MOVEMENT. AS FOR TICKETING AND TO ATTRACTIVENESS. I LOOKED OUT THE EYE AND ASKED HIM A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HOTEL AND THE ACT OF COMING HERE AND I HEARD CONVERSATION ABOUT MAYBE THE HOTEL PARTNERING WITH THE CITY. HERE WAS A COMMENT IN ONE OF THE PUBLIC MEETINGS ABOUT REVENUE SHARE SO THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE REVENUE SHARPLY REDUCED.

MY QUESTION IS WHY WOULDN'T AUDUBON USE THAT REVENUE SHARE TO BUILD ONE OR MORE EMPLOYEES ON THE GARAGE SO THE CITY TAKING HER CONGRATS ON THE 10TH FLOOR.

THAT REVENUE SHARE IS CLEAR YOU GO DOWN IN DETAILS SIGNIFICANTLY DUPLICATE HARBORSIDE VALLEY PARK.

YOU VALLEY PARKING LOT HOTELS STAFF THE VEHICLE.

THAT WILL BE CHARGING AN AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR PARKING VALET FIRST THIS PLACE IS IN CHARGE OVERNIGHT.

IF YOUR DESTINATION POINT LIKE THIS YOU MAY HAVE A SMALL

[03:40:02]

CHARGE FOR A DAY. SO YOU'RE IN THERE FOR FIVE OR $10 TO PARK FOR THE DAY TO GET THE PREMIUM PARKING SPACE.F IT WAS OFFERED. SO THOSE ARE CONVERSATIONS.T BROUGHT FORWARD AND MOVE UP'S CONDITION AND HAVE A BETTER FOODS THAT ARE AMUSEMENT SHOULD BE PARKING CONSULTANTS.

I WOULD WELCOME THEM TO BECOME A PARKING CONSULTANT.

THE DIFFERENCE DESPITE TAKEN ON SOCIAL MEDIA BY THE WAY IF YOU'RE WONDERING TALKING ABOUT. IT IS THE CUSTOM.

PARKING IS MY NEMESIS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO COME.

TO. ATAAPS PARKING SIGNAGE AND GOOGLE MAPS AND PARKING WAYS. WAZE IS ANOTHER APP THAT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE. SO TO SUM IT UP, THERE ARE THINGS. IT IS A GIVE-AND-TAKE.T IS MY FIRST TIME IN A PUBLIC MEETING TAKING A BIG BITE AND DISCIPLE AT THE NEGOTIATION TABLE.

SO I THINK THE CITY HAS DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB AND I THINK AUDUBON HAS DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB.

I WAS JUST CHALLENGE IN OUR DISCUSSION TONIGHT BY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS TO THINK ABOUT THE OTHER PARKING ELEMENTS.

WHERE WE TO BE WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT INFLUENCING OUR DOWNTOWN AND SHOULD BE ASKED ABOUT MORE PARKING AND ADDED, SHE WOULD LOOK AT OTHER AMENITIES AND I BROUGHT THIS UP BUT UPON THE DEPTH AND OTHER MEETINGS SUCH AS THE IMPROVEMENT FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE ROADWAYS LIKE INDIAN RIVER DRIVE BETWEEN SEVERE NEGATIVE ENHANCEMENT.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT INDIAN RIVER DRIVE BECOMES A FOCAL POINT OF REPAIR AND IMPROVEMENT ALONG THE SECTION FROM SEAWAY DRIVE INTO DOWNTOWN AT THE MARINA WAY ROUNDABOUT.

THERE ARE TWO REASONS WHY. NUMBER ONE, THE ROAD IS NOT OWNED BY THE CITY AND I WOULD LIKE IT TO BECOME.

IF IT DOESN'T THAT'S OKAY. BUT WE NEED ARE PARTNERS IN ST.

LUCIE TO APPROVE THAT RIGHT AWAY BUT THINK ABOUT THE SPEED THAT YOU CAN GAIN FROM SEAWAY DRIVE MOVING SOUTH.

FOLKS TURNED THE CORNER, THE PBRIDGE WHICH THEY JUST SPREAD OVER TOP OF THE BRIDGE THEY TURN ORDER AND THEY COME FROM US1 TURNING RIGHT AND HEADING SOUTHBOUND ON INDIAN RIVER DRIVE AND BY THE TIME I GET THIS TO CEDAR I CAN BE EASILY AT 40 MILES AN HOUR IN A DOWNTOWN ELEMENT.

WHY AM I TELLING THAT STORY? MAYBE WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE PARKING ELEMENT AND THE IMPROVEMENTS OF INDIAN RIVER DRIVE. WE PUT THAT ON THIS RIGHT NOW.

DO NOT TALK ABOUT. WE PUT ANOTHER ROUNDABOUT AT INDIAN RIVER DRIVE AND BACCHUS AVENUE.

WITH THE DENSITY OF THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT THERE WILL BE A LOT OF PEDESTRIAN WILL BE A LOT OF PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC MOVING FROM EAST TO WEST AND THAT IS WHY BRING THIS THINGS UP AND THAT IS GOOD. THAT IS A GOOD PROBLEM TO HAVE.

I DIDN'T GET THE CALL. I GET TO CALL MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS AND TALK ABOUT THOSE THINGS.

THOSE ARE MY IDEAS AND THOUGHTS IN THE CIRCUIT PLANNING ELEMENTS. WHERE DO WE START TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE AND OUR REVENUES RECEIVED BY STERN ATTRIBUTING TO OUR BUDGET TO ACCOMMODATE THAT.

THE LAST THING I WANT IS SOMEONE TO MOVE INTO ONE OF THE FLOORS IN KING'S LANDING AND THUS A 3 TO 5 YEAR PROJECT FROM TODAY AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE NEXT TWO YEARS ARE SPENT REPAIRING AND REBUILDING INDIAN RIVER DRIVE.

I JUST MOVED INTO MY PLACE. SORRY ABOUT THE INCONVENIENCE YET TO SUFFER A NEW STOMACH AND OTHER CONVENIENCE.

[03:45:04]

SO I'M GOING WITH ALL THIS AS FAR AS THE PROJECT I WILL LEAVE THOSE QUESTIONS OPEN AND I'M CHALLENGE FOR THOSE COUPLE OF ISSUES AND A CHALLENGE FOR THAT AND A FAVOR THE PROJECT.

THIS IS WHAT WE NEEDED WHEN WE DENIED THE FIRST TIME WHEN I WAS ON THIS COMMISSION DOES THE DREAM OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS THAT'S WHERE I AM RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU.

>> HAVE A QUESTION. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON BROUGHT UP POINTS ABOUT ROADWAYS AND AND OBVIOUSLY WITH CONSTRUCTION BEING DONE ALL OVER THAT. THERE WILL BE SOME TRACKS MOVING AND UNFAIR. THAT WAS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I HAD. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S APPROPRIATE TO HAVE THEM TALK TO ANY OF THAT.

ARE YOU ESTIMATES BARS THAT WOULD BE CONCERNED BECAUSE IN MY DISCUSSIONS I BROUGHT THAT UP AND THERE WERE SOME THINGS TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS. MAYBE NOT INDIAN RIVER DRIVE THAT MY CONCERNS WAS WHERE I MAKING SURE THAT WAS AT LEAST I WAS ASSURED THAT WOULD BE THE CASE.

THEN ALSO KNOWING THEY PROBABLY WOULD COME DOWN AND COME IN THE BACKEND AND GO FROM THERE AND EXIT OUT AND GO BACK OUT.

I GUESS THIS IS AVENUE A AND HEAR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE.

IN SELVES GIVING SOME ASSURANCE THAT THERE WOULD BE ALLOCATIONS TO ACCOMMODATE THIS ROOTS AND EVEN ON THE ILLUSTRATIONS SAW SOME RENDITIONS HERE WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE BASED ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF THOSE ROADS. BUT THE CONCERN EACH IS PHRASED AS ONE CONCERNING INDIAN RIVER DRIVE WHICH WE DO NOT OWN; IS THAT CORRECT? AIS A COUNTY ROAD.HE COUNTY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UPKEEP FROM SEAWAY DRIVE TO CITRUS I

BELIEVE. >> I THINK IT IS THE ROUNDABOUT BIKES I THINK THAT IS OUTSIDE I DIDN'T HEAR THAT TESTIMONY THINGS TO RELEVANT CONVERSATION AND I THINK IT'S RELEVANT TO THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF WHAT IS IN FRONT OF US AND I ASSUME THE DATA OVER THE YEARS AND WE EITHER SAW IT AS A CONCEPTUAL PLAN ERASING INFORMATION NOW. MAYBE GOING TO SEE SOME INFORMATION THAT YOU ARE RIGHT. WE HAVE TO BE AWARE THAT.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM MR. MIMS AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THE TRUCKS WILL GO WHERE THE CONSTRUCTION STAGING WILL BE. THAT IS A QUESTION FOR THE OWNER AND OUR PARTNER THAT I BELIEVE AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS CONSTRUCTION WE WILL HAVE MORE OF AN IDEA BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE ARE THE CO-APPLICANT. THIS IS OUR PARTNER.

BUT ASK YOU TO SET A BIG STATEMENT RIGHT THERE.

CO-APPLICANT. THERE ARE LEGAL CLAUSES THAT SAY IF THIS THAN THIS. AND UNTIL THEN OUR NAME IS ON THE PAPER. WE ARE ASKING FOR RIGHT-OF-WAY

USE PERMIT. >> I GUESS FROM A MATTER FOR WE ARE WITH THIS MAY BE LEGAL CAN HELP.

WE HAVE ALREADY CLOSED PUBLIC PUBLIC COMMENT.

>> I DON'T KNOW HOW WE GET THAT INFORMATION.

>> I DO BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY BE THE MAINTENANCE OF TRAFFIC PLAN THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE THE BUILDING PERMIT THAT COULD ADDRESS THESE ISSUES.

SO I DON'T KNOW I FEEL ABOUT THAT MR. MIMS.>> RIGHT NOW TODAY AT THIS MEETING, WE CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION.S WE GET CLOSER TO THE APPLICATION FOR BUILDING PERMIT BEING APPROVED IN OUR CITY ENGINEER AND OUR DIRECTOR WILL WEIGH IN ON THE ENTIRE CONSTRUCTION IS AN ASPECT WILL COME UP WITH ANSWERS. BUT RIGHT NOW THIS IS ABOUT

SITE PLAN APPROVAL.>> IT IS. IS THAT TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE ANY OTHER CONDITIONS WE NEED. I BROUGHT IT UP NOT FOR

[03:50:04]

CONSTRUCTION STAGING POINT OF VIEW.

IF THERE ARE OTHER CONDITIONS WE WANT TO PUT ON OURSELVES OR OUR PARTNER TO SAY THIS IS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

DISCUSS THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROSPERITY IMPACT.

IT IS ALL THE EMOTIONS AND IT'S GOING TO BE HISTORIC VISITS TO FORT PIERCE. SO THAT'S WHY OFFER IT.

THOSE ARE CONVERSATIONS I HAD THAT I CANNOT CALL YOU ON THE

PHONE ABOUT. >> I THINK THAT IS WHAT THE PUBLIC HAS UNDERSTAND. THIS IS OUR FIRST UNDER DISCUSSES. WE DON'T GET TO TALK TO EACH OTHER AND HAVE MEETINGS ABOUT WHAT'S ON EACH OTHER'S MIND.

WE OPERATE INDIVIDUALLY BECAUSE WE OPERATE IN THE SUNSHINE AND THIS IS A PUBLIC FORUM SO THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IS US HAVING DISCUSSIONS IN TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHERE OUR THOUGHTS WERE INDIVIDUALLY IN THE PUBLIC IN FRONT OF YOU.

SO THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT AND I HEAR YOU COMMISSIONER.

IT WAS ALLUDED TO ABOUT A COUPLE OF COMMENTS ABOUT PUBLIC ACCESS TO CERTAIN PARTS OF THIS.

IT IS THE HOTEL. DON'T QUITE KNOW IT'S ON THE TOP OF BASED ON THE SITE REVIEW, ONE OF THE CONCERNS IS WHAT THEY HAVE PUBLIC ACCESS TO THAT TOP FEATURE WAS THAT

THERE. >> I THOUGHT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE CONDO. THE HOTEL WILL HAVE THE

ROOFTOP. >> THE APPLICANT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE ELEMENT IN THE RESIDENTIAL TOWER.

SPECS FOR THE HOTEL THERE WILL BE.> PUBLIC ACCESS.

>> AND SETTLEMENT WE CAN SEND SITE PLAN LOOKS GOOD AND WE NEED THAT ELEMENT TO BE INCORPORATED BUT JUST FOR CLARIFICATION FOR MYSELF, THIS HEARING WILL WERE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT. THIS IS OUR FIRST TIME IN THE PUBLIC BUT THIS HEARING TONIGHT IS ABOUT THE SITE PLAN THAT WAS PRESENTED TO US. WE GET THE SITE PLAN WERE SUPPOSED TO LISTEN TO THE COMMENT FROM HER PARTNER, COMMENT FROM THE RESIDENCE AND COMMUNITY THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BOAT ON SITE PLAN, OUR FIRST READING OF THE SITE PLAN WAS PRESENTED TONIGHT. I THINK WE ARE SUPPOSED TO TAKE IN OTHER TYPE OF EVIDENCE. I THINK HER BOAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE SITE PLAN TONIGHT, THE FIRST READING AND THEN AFTER FIRST READING GET BACK IN HER CHAMBERS IN THE WE PUT OUR QUESTIONS DOWN AND WE CAN LET. CONSENT HOUSES IN THIS QUALITY JUDICIAL HEARING OPERATE ONE EXTERNAL SOUND THAT.

UNDERSTAND WE CAN HAVE OUR COMMENTS AND THOUGHTS BUT I THOUGHT OUR EVENT TONIGHT AND WHAT EVERYBODY WAS PUTTING ON HIS JUST THE SITE PLAN. TONIGHT IS SO FRUSTRATING IS JUST THE SITE PLAN AND THEN WE CAN GO BACK AND GO FROM THERE AND SET MY UNDERSTANDING BIKES MCNAMARA IS FROM A? THIS IS AN ORDINANCE THAT IS YOU SAID PROPOSES A SITE PLAN THAT'S WHAT YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING AT AND THAT'S WHAT YOU SHOULD BE CONSIDERING. I DON'T WEIGH EVIDENCE.

AGENDA WITH ATTORNEY SAY PROCESS OR PROCEDURAL QUESTION AND I'M GOING TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION IN TERMS OF PROCEDURE.

WHAT IS BEFORE YOU TODAY IS ESSENTIALLY THE SITE PLAN BECAUSE THAT IS ONLY CHANGE THAT IS BEING MADE TO THE ORDINANCE PREVIOUSLY PASSED IN 2020.

WE ARE TAKING OUT THE CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN FOR STAFF IS PROPOSING TO TAKE IS THAT PLAN ENSCONCED IN THE ACTUAL SITE PLAN PRESENTED TO YOU TODAY.

AND SO THIS IS THE CHANCE TO GET ALL THE INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE ABOUT THAT SITE PLAN. BUT I THINK SEPARATELY FROM THAT THIS IS NOT AS STRICT AS A COURT OF LAW WHERE TOES MIGHT SHUT DOWN COMMENTS THAT ARE COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT THOUGH

[03:55:03]

THERE'S MORE FREEDOM IN THAT SENSE AND I THINK WITH THE COMMISSION IS EXPERIENCING AT YOUR FIRST OPPORTUNITY AS THE FIVE REVIEW TO DISCUSS IT. I THINK THERE ARE LOTS OF IDEAS AND OPINIONS THAT MAY BE HAVE BEEN PENT UP IN EVERYONE'S GETTING A CHANCE TO EXPRESS IT. AT THE END OF THE DAY LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT WAS PASSED BEFORE ANY QUESTIONS NOW'S THE TIME TO GET THEM OUT.

THIS IS THE FIRST READING. SPECS I AGREE WITH THAT AND THEY'RE JUST ELEMENTS IN THE PICTURES IN FRONT OF US WHERE THERE ARE UNKNOWNS AND THERE IS NO ACTUAL TESTIMONY PROVIDED ME TO SAY THIS IS THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE.

WANTED TO BE VERY CLEAR AND WAS TO HAVE INPUT ON MY AGENDA ITEM. AS YOUR ELECTED LEGISLATURE AND I GET TO PROVE I CAN IMPROVE OR DISAPPROVE CONDITIONS THAT IS WHAT I'M STICKING TO. BETTER COME UP WITH SOME OF THOSE IDEAS I THINK THERE'S SOME GOOD THINGS HERE BUT I THINK. BIKES HAVE AMENDED PLAN AND AGENDA FIND WHAT IMPACTS THAT PLAN IS SOMETHING YOU NEED.

COMMISSIONER JOHNSON IS TO THEM NOW.

>> IS SOMETHING THAT THOSE QUESTIONS SEEM TO BE ANSWERED AND I'M THINKING TO MYSELF IS GONE SO FAR DOWN THIS TRAIL THAT THOSE CONDITIONS RIGHT NOW NOT BASED ON ANY IMPACT BUT BASED ON QUESTIONS IS PROBABLY NOT APPROPRIATE TO ME AT LEAST BARS CONCERNS. I THINK STAFF PRESENTED THE LAND VERY WELL. IT WAS SUPPORTED BY THE DEVELOPER. WE HEARD FROM THE PUBLIC AND WE BOTH THROUGH ALL OF THAT IS THE END OF THE DAY THIS ITEM.

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED I'M READY TO BOAT ON IT.

IF THERE'S NO MORE DISCUSSION I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 22Ä03.> SECONDLY DISCUSSION BIKES GO AHEAD.
