>> STATE YOUR NAME FOR ME PLEASE.

>> PEARL NEWS OWNER OF NOTIONS AND POTIONS.

>> I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK AND DUE DILIGENCE ON THIS PROJECT.

I KNOW THE CITY HAS BEEN WORKING VERY HARD FOR YEARS TO FIND THE RIGHT PARTNER AND I BELIEVE YOU HAVE SUCCEEDED. I KNOW IT HASN'T BEEN AN EASY TASK. WE ALL LOVE FORT PIERCE AND DON'T WANT THINGS TO EXCHANGE, HOWEVER AS YOU KNOW THIS GROWTH IS NECESSARY FOR OUR BUSINESSES AND COMMUNITY. WE APPRECIATE THE CITY FOR STAYING PATIENT AND FINDING DEVELOPERS WHO LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS OFFERING GROWTH WITHOUT COMPROMISING OUR QUAINTNESS. FLORIDA IS A TOURIST STATE.

WE NEED THIS PROJECT FOR BUSINESSES TO BE ABLE TO THRIVE. I HEAR A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY IT WILL MAKE DOWNTOWN TOO BUSY, WE DON'T WANT IT TO GET BUSY, AND I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THEIR POINT OF VIEW. HOWEVER, THE PEOPLE I PERSONALLY HEAR THIS FROM DON'T HAVE BUSINESSES DOWNTOWN. AND THEY DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND OUR DAILY STRUGGLE.

THEY HAVE NO IDEA THEY HAVE TO BE OPEN FOR 10 HOURS JUST TO MAKE $350 ON A FRIDAY NIGHT IN SEASON.

AND THE ONLY REASON I MENTION THIS IS THAT HOPEFULLY PEOPLE LISTENING CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT THIS PROJECT IS TO DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES AND THE COMMUNITY. THANKS.

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

>> HI. JEANNIE ARRIS 223 NORTH SECOND STREET. NO, I DON'T HAVE A BUSINESS DOWNTOWN AND THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL WAS A REALLY CUTE SIX STORY BUILDING WITH A FOUR STORY HOTEL OR VICE VERSA, I'M NOT SURE WITH A LITTLE BIT OF GREEN SPACE, A NICE OPENING AND NOW WE'VE GOT QUITE FRANKLY A MONSTROSITY. AS I WAS COMING DOWN SECOND STREET I LOOKED AT THE RENAISSANCE BUILDING AND IT'S FOUR STORIES, IT JUST BARELY TOPPED OVER THE PALM TREES. YOU STICK 10 STORIES, 11 STORIES, 12 STORIES, WHATEVER THAT IS PLUS, THE EIGHT STORY BUILDINGS WITH IT IT'S GOING TO MAKE FORT PIERCE LOOK NOT LIKE THE SMALL TOWN THAT YOU WANT IT TO BE. I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD RECONSIDER ALLOWING THEM TO CONTINUE TO MAKE IT BIGGER AND BIGGER AND KEEP IT A SMALL TOWN.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> HELLO MY NAME IS HOLLY TONES I LIVE ABOUT A BLOCK FROM THE PROPOSED KINGS LANDING PROJECT.

>> AND I CAN'T BE MORE EXCITED ABOUT WHAT YOU GUY ALSO HOPEFULLY ALLOW TO COME TO FORT PIERCE.

15 YEARS HAVE RESULTED IN THIS PROJECT THIRD TIME LUCKY, BY THE WAY, WITH DEVELOPERS AND WE'RE ABOUT TO APPROVE HOPEFULLY AND ABOUT TO BREAK GROUND AND PRETTY SOON WE'LL HAVE A MARRIOTT AUTOGRAPH COLLECTION HOTEL IN DOWNTOWN FORT PIERCE.

I HOPE SO. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, MA'AM. ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE PLEASE COME FORWARD.

>> BECKY MANUAL AT 205 NORTH SECOND STREET HERE AGAIN.

I JUST WANTED TO PERSONALLY THANK ALL OF YOU FOR THE LAST MEETINGS VERY POSITIVE INPUT ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT.

I KNOW I SPEAK FOR A LOT OF BUSINESS OWNERS WHO SINCERELY APPRECIATE YOUR FORESIGHT AND THE INCREDIBLE PROSPERITY THAT KING DEVELOPMENT WILL BRING TO THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE. GROWTH IN A HISTORIC CITY CAN BE PAINFUL AND I UNDERSTAND THAT ALTHOUGH A LOT OF RESIDENTS WILL BE AS THRILLED AS WE ARE WITH YOUR DECISION THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME CONSTITUENTS WHO WILL NOT BE AS HAPPY ABOUT IT. BUT THE POSITIVES OF DEVELOPING THIS SITE WITH FAR OUTWAY THE NEGATIVES. I REALIZE LAST MONTH IT'S JUST THE BEGINNING OF A LONG PROCESS BUT I TRULY BELIEVE THAT YEARS DOWN THE ROAD THE CITIZENS OF FORT PIERCE CAN SAY THAT THE KING DEVELOPMENT AND ROLEX WILL BE THE TWO MAJOR CATALYSTS THAT PUT FORT PIERCE IN THE FOREFRONT. I FEEL STRONGLY THAT THE DECISIONS MADE TODAY WILL IN THE FUTURE BECOME THE CURRENT CITY GOVERNING OFFICIALS LEGACY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU, MA'AM.

ANYONE ELSE WISHINGIS ISSUE PLEE COME FORWARD.

[00:30:09]

>> YOUR ADDRESS FOR US PLEASE.

>> WE ARE NAME ONE MORE TIME FOR ME? SIR, ARE YOU SPEAKING ON ANOTHER ITEM?

WHICH ITEM. >> I'M TALKING ABOUT MY HOUSE. MY DAUGHTER WAS HERE THIS TIME WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THAT.

I'M JUST COME HERE TO PAY THE FEE.

WE'VE ALREADY ACTED ON THAT, SIR, I BELIEVE.

>> WE HAVE THEY HAVE APPROVED TO REDUCE THE FEE.

>> THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED. OKAY, THANK YOU.

>> YOU'RE IN GOOD SHAPE, THANK YOU.

SIR. ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO WISH THIS ISSUE ANYONE ELSE BEFORE I CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. OKAY, CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING. ANY DISCUSSION? IS THERE A MOTION OR A DISCUSSION.

>> JUST REAL QUICK, DISCUSSION.

I DON'T KNOW IF I WILL GET A CHANCE TO SAY IT AGAIN FROM THIS SEAT LOOKING BACK ON HOUSTON WE REVIEWED THIS AND LOOKING -- BACK AN HOW MANY TIMES WE HAVE THRUFD AND LOOKING AT THE PARCEL AND REMINDING OURSELVES OF WHERE WE HAVE BEEN AND WHERE WE HAVE COME FROM AND WHERE WE ARE TODAY THAT PARCEL JUST A REFRESH WAS BECAME A POWER PLANT ACTIVATED ON THANKSGIVING DAY OF 1912, RIGHT. HAS BEEN RUNNING AS A POWER PLANTED UNTIL WHAT WAS IT THE EARLY 2000S AND THEN WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN TRANSFORMED INTO WHERE WE ARE TODAY. SO IT'S ALWAYS BEEN IN PUBLIC HANDS AND NOW WE'RE AT A POINT WHERE WE HAVE THE ABILITY AS AN APPLICANT OURSELVES TO PARTNER WITH THE PRIVATE COMMUNITY AND FORGE AHEAD WITH SOMETHING GREATER FOR THE NEXT 100 YEARS, 110 YEARS OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE. SO I'M JUST EXCITED ABOUT WHERE WE ARE AND THE OPPORTUNITY I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE THAT HAS BEEN APART OF THIS PROCESS AND THE PUBLIC INPUT WHETHER FOR OR AGAINST.

THANK YOU. >> MADAM MAYOR I WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT. SO, THE DECISION HERE IS NOT ONE THAT I THINK I WANT THE PUBLIC TO KNOW THAT WE TAKE LIGHTLY. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT CHANGE, CHANGE IS TOUGH ON A LOT OF PARTS.

CHANGE FROM THE COMMUNITY, SEEING SOMETHING DIFFERENT IT'S CHANGE SITTING HERE TO MAKE A DECISION THAT COULD BE REVOLUTIONARY AND ONE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE TARGET SQUARELY HITS HERE WITH THIS DECISION.

THE CHANGE ALSO WITH OUR DEVELOPER BRINGING SOMETHING TO THIS AREA AND BEING A PERSON THAT'S NATIVE FORT PIERCE PERSON THAT'S SEEN THE EVOLUTION OF DOWNTOWN UPS, DOWNS IN BETWEEN, THIS DECISION DOESN'T COME LIGHTLY. BUT I THINK AS WE LOOK TO MOVE FORT PIERCE TO PROVIDE AN ECONOMIC STIMULUS YOU KNOW THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH, JOB OPPORTUNITIES, AND TO ALSO HELP OTHER PEOPLE DISCOVER THIS GREAT LITTLE GEM WE CALL FORT PIERCE AND TO SUPPORT THAT LOCAL ECONOMY IS ONE THAT I DON'T TAKE LIGHTLY.

AS I SIT HERE AND I'VE LISTENED TO COMMENTS BOTH SIDES, I CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THAT.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT EITHER PROOR CON FOR THIS THOSE EARS WILL CONTINUE TO BE OPEN AND THAT THAT WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. I JUST THINK THAT I COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED FOR AN OPPORTUNITY AT LEAST FOR OUR GREAT CITY OF FORT PIERCE. THIS IS A REVOLUTIONARY CHANGE THAT MANY HAVE WANTED TO SEE FOR SOME TIME.

AND THAT REVOLUTIONARY CHANGE IS ALSO SCARY TO COME IN OUR COMMUNITY. I HEAR BOTH SIDES OF IT.

SO, I WANT TO THANK MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS FOR MY DUE DILIGENCE BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAVE PORED THROUGH STUFF AND READ STUFF AND TAKEN E-MAILS AND PHONE CALLS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW WE'VE HEARD ALL ALL SIDES, AT LEAST I HAVE.

I CLEARLY UNDERSTAND IT. SO THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR.

>> YOUR WELCOME. COMMISSIONER.

>> I WASN'T BORN HERE BUT THIS IS MY 50TH YEAR LIVING IN FORT PIERCE. ALL MY BUSINESSES, MY ADULT LIFE ALL MY KIDS WERE BORN HERE.

FORT PIERCE IS MY HOME I GOT TO TELL YOU THAT THIS IS A EXCITING TO ME BUT THERE'S A PART OF US THAT WANTS FORT PIERCE TO BE A LITTLE COASTAL VILLAGE WE CAN GO FROM POINT A TO POINT B IN FIVE MINUTES NO MATTER WHERE IT IS THAT'S ALL GONE. I WILL TELL YOU BACK IN 2010 AFTER GOING THROUGH A WORLDWIDE ECONOMIC DECLINE,

[00:35:05]

ALL OUR ENERGY, STAFF, COMMISSION, ALL OUR COMMITTEES WORKED DILIGENTLY TOWARDS ONE GOAL AND THAT WAS TO MAKE THE CHANGE AND WE DID.

WE MADE THIS DECISION 12 YEARS AGO TO DO WHAT WE'RE DOING TONIGHT. WE MADE IT 12 YEARS AGO.

WE REACHED OUT TO FOLKS AND SAY GIVE US ANOTHER LOOK, LOOK AT US, COME AND TAKE, FIND OUT WHO WE ARE.

WE'RE NOT A COMMUNITY OF HIGH CRIME AND WE'RE NOT A COMMUNITY THAT DOESN'T HAVE A WORKFORCE HERE READY TO GO. WE ARE A COMMUNITY THAT HAS PROPERTIES AND BENEFITS WITH OUR SEA COAST, WITH ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON.

TAKE A LOOK AT US. FINALLY WE GOT PEOPLE TO DO SO AND HERE THEY ARE. AND HERE WE ARE TONIGHT.

SO, I'M GOING TO TELL YOU THAT THAT MOVE IS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST MOVE FORT PIERCE HAS EVER DONE IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. THIS IS FORT PIERCE 2022.

AND THIS IS WE'RE GOING TO GO FORWARD.

STILL, THERE'S A PART OF ME THAT WANTS THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE TO BE THE COASTAL FISHING VILLAGE THAT I CAN TRAVEL, I KNOW EVERYBODY WHEN I GO INTO A RESTAURANT, WE WALK UP AND DOWNTOWN SAYING HI TO FOLKS, OUR NEIGHBORS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

THOSE DAYS ARE JOHN. BUT THAT'S NOT BAD ANYMORE, IT'S STILL GOOD AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT FORT PIERCE SURVIVES AND GOES FORWARD.

THIS IS A NEW FORT PIERCE. >> COMMISSIONER GAINES.

>> JUST TO PIGGYBACK ON WHAT THE OTHER COMMISSIONER SAID, I SAID THIS LAST MEETING, BORN AND RAISED IN FORT PIERCE AND I WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT IN A MILLION YEARS THAT LITTLE BITTY FORT PIERCE, MY LITTLE BITTY TOWN WOULD BE ON THE VERGE OF HAVING A DESTINATION HOTEL DOWNTOWN FORT PIERCE THAT WOULD PROVIDE JOBS, WOULD PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE IN FORT PIERCE TO JUST LIVE A BETTER LIFE, TO JUST COME OVER AND SAY YOU KNOW WHAT, I DON'T HAVE TO TRAVEL TO ORLANDO, I DON'T HAVE TO TRAVEL TO DAYTONA I CAN JUST COME OUT FROM WEST FORT PIERCE AND GO RIGHT DOWN TO FORT PIERCE AND LIVE IN A DESTINATION HOTEL FOR A WEEKEND AND THINK YOU'RE IN A BIG CITY. [LAUGHTER] AND YOU'RE STILL IN FORT PIERCE.

TO SAY THE SAME THING THAT COMMISSIONER CURTIS JOHNSON SAID, I RECEIVED THE E-MAILS, I RECEIVED FROM BOTH SIDES, YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS FOREVER BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK FORT PIERCE NEEDS.

I LOVE MY LITTLE CITY, I LOVE IT TO DEATH BUT I THINK WE'RE ON THE VERGE OF MAKING FORT PIERCE JUST A BETTER CITY. AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE YET TO BE BORN IN FORT PIERCE THAT WE WON'T BE SITTING UP HERE BUT THEY'LL THANK US FOR DOING WHAT WE'RE DOING.

SO WITH THAT I'M JUST READY TO SEE SHOVELS IN THE GROUND

AND SEE IT COME TO FRUITION. >> WITH A THOUSAND PEOPLE A DAY MOVING TO FLORIDA, THEY'RE GOING TO GO SOMEPLACE AND WE WOULD LIKE SOME OF THEM COME HERE.

>> COME OF THEM. >> YEAH.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. THE CITY COMMISSION SERVES BOTH A LEGISLATIVE AND QUASI-JUDICIAL ROLE.

WHEN ACTING AS A LEGISLATIVE BODY THE COMMISSION ENGAGES IN LAW MAKING ACTIVITY BY PASSING LAWS AND ESTABLISHING POLICIES. WHEN ACTING AS A QUASI-JUDICIAL BODY THE COMMISSION REPLIES THOSE LAWS AND POLICIES -- APPLIES THOSE LAWS AND POLICIES.

QUASI-JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS ARE LESS FORMAL THAN PROCEEDINGS BEFORE A CIRCUIT COURT BUT ARE MORE FORMAL THAN THE NORMAL COMMISSION MEETING.

THEY MUST FOLLOW BASIC STANDARDS OF NOTICE AND DUE PROCESS AND DECISIONS MUST BE MADE BASED ON COMPETENCE SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. THEREFORE, COMMISSIONERS HAVE A DUTY TO CONDUCT THE PROCEEDS MORE LIKE JUDGES THAN LEGISLATORS. THAT IS WHY THE COMMISSION HAS ESTABLISHED THE UNIFORM PROCEDURES THAT WILL FOLLOWED THIS EVENING. FINALLY, NO ONE SHOULD APPROACH ANY MEMBER OF THE CITY COMMISSION DURING THE HEARING. IF DOCUMENTS ARE TO BE GIVEN TO THE CITY CLERK PLEASE GIVE THEM TO THE SERGEANT AT ARMS WHICH IS ONE OF THE TWO UNIFORM POLICE OFFICERS IN

>> WOULD YOU LIKE TO SWEAR IN THE WITNESSES.

ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM PLEASE STAND AND

RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. >> ALL RIGHTY.

PLEASE PROCEED. >> GOOD EVENING MADAM MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS BEFORE WE YOU WE HAVE A SITE PLAN AND DESIGN REVIEW APPLICATION FOR THE SUBJECT PROJECT AT 5553 THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY 12 ACRES IS LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF OKEECHOBEE ROAD AND MCNEIL ROAD. CURRENTLY AS A FUTURE LAND USE OF GC WHICH IS GENERAL COMMERCIAL IN THE ZONING OF C-3 WHICH IS GENERAL COMMERCIAL ZONE.

THE APPLICANTS IS PROPOSING A COMMERCIAL PLAN DEVELOPMENT WHICH WILL INCLUDE CHIPOTLE RESTAURANT, INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SEATING WITH A DRIVE-THRU AND ADDITIONAL RETAIL UNIT, ALDI GROCERY STORE, FUTURE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT TO THE EAST AND WET RETENTION POND, 123 PARKING SPACES, WE'RE REQUIRED BUT THE APPLICANT IS PROVIDING 160 SPACES WITH 15 BIKE RACKS PROVIDED. BEFORE YOU IS A NORTHERN ELEVATION AND WESTERN ELEVATION OF THE RETAIL AND CHIPOTLE COMPONENT. IT'S A SELF-EASTERN AND EASTERN EXTERIOR ELEVATION. NEXT WE HAVE THE ALDI ELEVATIONS BEFORE YOU. IT'S APPROXIMATELY 19,000 SQUARE FOOT ALDI GROCERY STORE.

VERY MODERN ARCHITECTURE. THEN THERE'S THE BAND ESCAPE PLAN. WITH BOTH I GUESS I WOULD SAY COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER. PARCELS 1, 3, 4 WILL HAVE 119 TREES, 109 PALMS, AND GROUND COVER AND AND LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR PARCEL 2 WILL HAVE 44 TREES, 27 CABBAGE PALMS, 211 SHRUBS, GROUND COVER AND IRRIGATION.

PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL WITH THREE CONDITIONS. NUMBER ONE THAT PER CITY CODE SECTION CHAPTER 121 SUBDIVISIONS PRELIMINARY AND FINAL ARE REQUIRED, NUMBER TWO, A COMPLETION CERTIFICATION BY LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT.

COST ESTIMATE LANDSCAPE BOND ARE SUBMITTED PRIOR TO CERTIFICATION OF OUNDCY IS APPROVED.

NUMBER THREE, PRIOR TO INSURANCE OF ANY SITE CLEARING PERMITS THE APPLICANT SHALL PROVIDE A TREE MITIGATION SURVEY AND CO-ORDINATE WITH THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE ARREST ORISTS FOR THE -- ADDITIONORISTS FOR THE SITE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY.

>> ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF. >> A COUPLE QUESTIONS.

IF YOU GO BACK TO THE SITE PLAN, PLEASE.

THE LANDSCAPE BOND. >> CORRECT.

IT WILL BE TWO. OKAY.

SO THAT CONDITION IS FOR BOTH OF THOSE.

>> CORRECT. >> WAS THERE ANY DISCUSSION, MAYBE THE APPLICANT CAN ANSWER WHEN THEY COME FORWARD. LOOKING AT THESIDE PLAN OVERALL THE VEHICULAR MOVEMENT BASICALLY.

SOME OF THE SOUTH SIDE WOULD BE JENKINS ROAD.

>> ARE THERE TWO POINTS OF ENTRY TO THIS PARCEL?

>> CORRECT. >> YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT HERE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT. WAS THERE ANY DISCUSSION WITH THE APPLICANT BASED ON THE SMALLER BUILDING THAT'S ON THE PLAN HERE WITH TRIP GENERATION TO THE GROCERY STORE WHICH IS TO THE EAST? BASICALLY, IF YOU LOOK AT CONVENTIONAL DESIGN. HERE'S WHERE I'M GOING WITH THIS. CONVENTIONAL DESIGN SHOWS HOW MANY PARKING SPACES WHERE I WANT TO BE BUT WE CREATE A LOT OF TRIPS RIGHT AT THE FRONT DOOR OF THESE TWO RETAIL SPACES. THERE'S ALSO A DRIVEWAY TO

[00:55:01]

THE NORTH SIDE OF THE CHIPOTLE AND RETAIL SPACE.

IS THAT ACCURATE THE OTHER DRIVEWAY ACCESS.

WAS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON MOVING THAT ON MOVING THAT TO A DIFFERENT SPOT OR HAS THERE BEEN ANY DISCUSSION? THERE WAS DISCUSSION ABOUT MOVING THE STRUCTURE FOR THE CHIPOTLE AND RETAIL FURTHER TO THE NORTH BUT THE APPLICANT WAS STATING THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THAT.

THEY COULD PROBABLY EXPLAIN FURTHER.

>> I'M KIND OF PRIMING THEM ANSWER A QUESTION WHEN THEY COME FORWARD. THAT WAS MY OTHER THOUGHT, TOO. THE ELEMENTS OF THE AESTHETIC VALUE FROM THE OKEECHOBEE ROADSIDE, RIGHT.

INSTEAD OF GENERAL PARKING LOT WHICH WE DESIGNED A LOT OF IN THE 1980S, SO WE HAVE A LOT OF PARKING LOTS THAT JUST FRONT AND HIDE, WELCOME TO THE PARADISE AS I CALL THEM ALL THE TIME. I JUST DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS ANY DISCUSSION. THANK YOU.

>> I HAVE A QUICK TECHNICAL. SO ALONG THOSE PARALLELS, COMMISSIONER JOHNSON, WHERE IS THE ACCESS OFF OF OKEECHOBEE ROAD FOR THIS PARCEL?

>> THERE IS AN EXISTING ACCESS SO IF I'M TRAVEL EAST ON OKEECHOBEE COMING ACROSS I WOULD ACCESS --

>> THAT'S SHARED ACCESS. >> OH BUT THEY WOULD STILL PROCEED DUE SOUTH TO A LEFT. OKAY.

EITHER ONE OF THESE. >> AND THEN SO COMING HEADING HEADING WEST ON OKEECHOBEE THEY WOULD HAVE TO MAKE A

U-TURN. >> THEY WOULD HAVE TO MAKE A

U-TURN. >> IF I MAY.

>> YES, MA'AM. THEY ALSO COULD GO TO THE LIGHT AT JENKINS THEN ACCESS THROUGH WAWA.

>> GOTCHA. AND THE REASON FOR THERE WAS AN ARRANGEMENT FOR THAT SHARED ACCESS OFF OF OKEECHOBEE DUE TO DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS WITH D.O.T. AS THERE IS A DRAINAGE CANAL THAT IS JUST WEST OF THE EXISTING ONE. SO THERE WASN'T ENOUGH SPACE TO PROVIDE FOR AN ADDITIONAL PLACE.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF.

BEFORE I OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

OKAY. >> I WOULD LIKE FOR THE APPLICANT TO COME FORWARD, PLEASE.

WE ARE NOW IN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND DO YOU HAVE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY

QUESTIONS OF STAFF? >>.

>> CAN YOU IDENTIFIED YOURSELF FOR ME.

>> MY NAME IS TODD AND I'M REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT.

WE THANK YOU VERY MUCH WE HAVE REBECCA.

>> GREAT. DO YOU WANT TO TELL US ANYTHING BEFORE YOU ANSWER COMMISSIONERS JOHNSON'S

QUESTION OR TALK? >> I CAN JUST GO AHEAD AND START SPEAKING TO THAT ORGANICALLY.

>> THAT'S FINE. YES.

>> GREAT QUESTION. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WAS LOOKED AT UP FRONT. WHAT THE NATIONAL TENANTS WITH AND OUR CLIENTS THAT WE REPRESENT WHO ARE GOING TO BE THE MASTER DEVELOPERS THERE WAS SOMETHING WITH BOTH THE NATIONAL WITH THE RESTAURANT THAT WAS THEIR FOOTPRINTS THAT WORKED WELL FOR THEIR FORMATS.

WITH THE PARCEL WHERE IT'S LOCATED AND ITS LOCATION WITH THE ADJACENTCY IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN A COHESIVE UNIT IT'S BEEN A JOINT WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH ALL THESE PARCELS AND HAVING SET MIDWAY ROAD IN WITH OR MIDWAY WITH THE PARKING THAT THEY HAVE BETWEEN BOTH OF THE BUILDINGS.

IT SO WAS JUST A FOOTPRINT THAT WORKED VERY WELL FOR THEM. WE DO HAVE THE STORM WATER POND IN THE BACK WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP THAT AS A BUFFER FROM THE DEVELOPMENTS IN THE BACK WE ARE COGNIZANT OF THEM BEING THERE WE HAVE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS SO DO THEY. WITH THE PARCEL DYNAMICS IT JUST WORKED BETTER WITH ALL THE ELEMENTS THAT YOU LOOK AT WITH THE SITE DEVELOPMENT.

>> COMMISSIONER JOHNSON. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT.

I WAS GOING TO BE ANOTHER QUESTION THAT I HAD FOR YOU IS THE POSITIONING OF ALDI IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT TO THE SOUTH.

SO I SEE THAT YOU EXPANDED THE STORM WATER POND AND CREATED SOME BUFFERING SPACE.

BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN EXACTLY THEY COME IN WITH THEIR LOADING AND UNLOADING. I IMAGINE THAT IT'S PROBABLY LATE AT NIGHT OR EARLY IN THE MORNING AT SOME TIMES

DURING THE YEAR. >> YOU ALREADY HAVIALDY IN YOUR COMMUNITY IT'S A -- HAVE AN ALDI IN YOUR COMMUNITY. YES, EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID WE REALLY TRY TO PUT IN SOME CONSIDERATION WE WON'T HAVE RESIDENTS BACK HERE EVENTUALLY THEY ARE STARTING UNDER CONSTRUCTION. WE REALLY WANTED TO PROVIDE THAT BUFFERINGFUL WE DO UNDERSTAND IT'S GOING TO BE AN ACTIVE GROCERY STORE IT'S A SMALLER FOOTPRINT BUT EVERYTHING TO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IT'S A BACK HOUSE THAT'S WHERE THEY HAVE THEIR DELIVERIES WE WANTED TO HAVE

[01:00:02]

THAT BUFFERING. IT'S ACTUALLY A TWO POND SYSTEM IT'S A WET POND WHICH IS A DARKER LINE SURROUNDED WITH A DRY POND WITH A BUFFER LANDSCAPE AROUND THE AREAS. A LITTLE BIT MORE THOUGHT DETAIL WENT INTO THAT FOR THE PLACEMENT.

>> THE WAY I ALWAYS THINK OF IT TAKINGING THE PIECE OF PAPER JUST TRYING TO POSITION IT ON THE SITE TO SEE WHAT WORKS BEST. YOU HAVE OBVIOUSLY DONE THAT AND I APPRECIATE YOUR ANSWER BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT'S ALWAYS A CONCERN. WE HAVE TRAFFIC COMING IN AS COMMISSIONER C-JOHNSON TALKED ABOUT EARLIER.

WE COME IN WITH THE SHARED ACCESS OR I COME ACROSS TO GRAB SOMETHING ELSE. THAT'S FOR BOTH TILTS.

IT'S A SMALL PARCEL A LOT OF THOUGHT PROCESS WENT INTO TRYING TO I WON'T SAY A MAYBE AN OCTOGON INTO A ROUND PEG. HAS THERE BLEEN ANY DISCUSSION. DOT LIKES THOSE THAT'S WHERE THEY PUSH US AND THAT'S OKAY.

>> YES, YES, YES AND YES. >> WE YES WE DEFINITELY WORK WITH STAFF QUITE A BIT IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY APART OF THAT PROCESS. WE HAD WE HAVE HIGHER TRAFFIC CONSULTANT. WHICH IS I KNOW IT'S DIFFERENT FOR PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO SAY IT'S LIKE A REPORT CARD BUT IT'S VERY GOOD TO C IS VERY GOOD.

I LIVE UP IN VERO BEACH AND IT'S D IN CERTAIN AREAS AND F IN CERTAIN AREAS THAT'S THE WAY IT IS.

I'M A NATIVE TO VERO BEACH SO I'M KIND OF BORN AND RAISE HERE, TOO. WHEN IT'S DONE EEK EVEN AFTER THIS LOADED IN. CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE LANDSCAPE PLAN TRAVELLING EAST WE WILL SEE A SHRUBBERY TREE LINE IS THAT WHAT I'M LOOKING AT THERE? COMING IN TALK TO ME ABOUT SIGN PLACEAGE HERE IN THAT AREA. WE DO NOT DO IT AT THE SAME TIME. BUT WE DO ANTICIPATE THERE BEING A MASTER SIGN STATE ROAD 70.

YOU ARE CORRECT, TOO. YOU WILL SEE A LOT OF THESE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS. AS OPPOSED TO JUST ON THE

[01:05:10]

END CAPS. I'M NOT AS TECHNICALLY DEEP TO THAT ONE. THE WHOLE MOVEMENT IS REQUIRING U-TURNS. I JUST KNOW THAT PEOPLE GETTING ACCESS HERE AND THERE IS WHAT MY CONCERN IS WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT OF ISSUES AND NEAR ACCIDENTS THE PARKING TO CHIPOTLE YOU HAVE TO PARK IT WILL BE IN THE FRONTS YOU HAVE TO PARK AND WALK ACROSS TRAFFIC THAT'S COMING IN OFF OF OKEECHOBEE ROAD.

DID I READ THAT RIGHT? >> WE HAVE JUST A LITTLE CONCERN WITH ME. THERE ARE SOME ONSITE PARKING LUCKILY CHIP OLD THEY DON'T HAVE A -- CHIPOTLE ALSO THE NORTH PART THERE'S A JOINT ACCESS BECAUSE ALSO WITH ALDI THEY HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PARKING SPACE REQUIREMENTS THEY NEED.

NEXT THERE. THERE'S A BUILDING THAT SAYS RETAIL. APPROXIMATELY HOW MUCH

SQUARE FEET. >> IT'S ABOUT 2300 SQUARE

FEET. >> SO THAT WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMEBODY TO COME IN NEXT DOOR TO ALDI OR

CHIPOTLE. >> THEY SHARE THE SAME

ROOFTOP. >> OKAY I GOT IT.

IT'S JUST MORE FOOT TRAFFIC. >> IF I MAY, MADAM MAYOR, COMMISSIONER. JUST A THOUGHT THAT PERHAPS CROSSWALK SOMETHING DELINEATED TO TRANSERS HAVE THE SITE FROM DIFFERENT AREAS.

>> I'M CONCERNED THERE, RIGHT.

COMING OFF THAT. YES, I SEE TRAFFIC MOVEMENT.

I GET IT. I'M JUST STILL CONCERNED WITH HOW THAT MOVES THERE. AND WHAT'S COMING IN THERE.

YOU KNOW, WE GET A LITTLE BOTTLENECK IN THERE COMING IN. YOU GOT PEOPLE TRYING TO MOVE OUT OF THE GAS TAMPGS IT'S JUST SOMETHING I'M THINKING ABOUT FROM ON THE FIRST PART.

IT TRIGGERED WHEN COMMISSIONER JOHNSON BROUGHT THAT UP ABOUT TRAVERSING. THAT I'M LOOKING AT THAT.

OKAY. SO YOU HAVE OPTIMIZED YOUR PLAN THERE'S NO NEED TOY GUESS SAY MOVE THAT BUILDING UP AND PUT PARKING BEHIND IT, I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT'S STICKING OUT TO ME.

>> WE CAN DO LIKE YOU SAID WE CAN PUT SOME CROSSWALKS

ON THAT THERE WITH SIGNAGE. >> WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE

SOMETHING THERE. >> OTHER BIG DEVELOPMENTS WE CAN DEFINITELY INCORPORATE THAT.

>> PEDESTRIAN WAYS. I DON'T WANT PEOPLE STUMBLING OVER THERE, TOO. IT'S A CONCERN OF MINE.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> ONE QUICK QUESTION.

I'M HEARING ALL THIS U-TURNS, I'M HEARING DOUBLE ENTRY I'M JUST CURIOUS IF YOU KNOW YOU DON'T KNOW, WITH ALL THE CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS WE HAVE RIGHT NOW AND I SEE THIS BIG SQUARE THAT SAYS FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.

ANY IDEAS RIGHT NOW WHAT YOU THINK THAT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IS BECAUSE THAT WOULD ALSO, I'M PRETTY SURE, TRIGGER QUESTIONS FROM MY COLLEAGUES ABOUT PARKING AND OTHER THINGS BECAUSE ONE THING I'M CONCERNED WITH WHAT BOTH OF MY COMMISSIONERS SAID YOU WILL

[01:10:10]

HAVE SOME TYPE OF KIDS OR PARENTS LIKE YOU SAID COMMISSIONER JOHNSON IS COMING AROUND THAT CORNER.

SO, MY QUESTION IS ANY IDEA. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS.

>> YEAH, THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT I LITERALLY DO NOT KNOW THE CLIENTS THEY HAVE NOT SAID HEY THIS IS GOING TO BE HERE WE HAVE SO AND SO WHISPERING IN OUR EAR. IT WILL BE SOME TYPE OF FUTURE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

IT WILL BE ONE OF THE IMPROVED VISAS THAT FOLLOWS WITHIN THE ZONING GUIDE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT.

>> ALL RIGHTY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ISSUE PLEASE COME FORWARD.

>> SEEING NO ONE. HAVE YOU ANYTHING MORE TO SAY. YOU'RE GOOD?

>> I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

>> THANK YOU. I'M CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING. I WILL ENTERTAIN DISCUSSION

OR MOTION. >> MADAM MAYOR JUST A COUPLE COMMENTS. I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY. I JUST THINK AS PROFESSIONALS AS ENGINEERS, AS PLANNERS, AS A COMMISSION, YOU KNOW WE JUST WANT TO ALWAYS BE SUCCESSFUL AND FORWARD THINKING IN HOW WE'RE PLAYING OUT PROJECTS AND. WE WALK ACROSS TO GO TO THE FRONT DOOR. AN EXAMPLE OF OF A DEVELOPMENT THAT DID A FAIRLY GOOD JOB AT GETTING THE STEADY FLOW OF TRAFFIC OUT OF THE PARKING LOT COMPONENT TO THE FRONT DOOR WAS CHICK-FIL-A ACROSS THE STREET. THEY'RE BUSIEST ELEMENT IS THEIR DRIVE-THRU SO THEY TOOK AWAY THE PEDESTRIAN CONFLICT WITH THE VEHICLE BECAUSE YOU CAN GO AND PARK INTO A DIFFERENT AREA AWAY FROM THE DRIVE-THRU.

SO, I'M NOT AGAINST WHAT'S HERE TODAY.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IN MY QUESTIONS WERE REGARDING DO WE THINK ABOUT THESE ELEMENTS.

DID WE LOOK AND I KNOW THEY WERE PROBABLY THOUGHT ABOUT.

BECAUSE I THINK I SEE AN OUTDOOR SEATING COMPONENT, I SEE A DRIVE-THRU ELEMENT THOSE ARE MY QUESTIONS I DIDN'T MEAN TO GET OFF TOO MUCH ON A TANGENT AND I'M GLAD WE DID BECAUSE IT'S GOOD CONVERSATION.

>> GOOD TO BRING IT TO OUR ATTENTION.

>> MADAM MAYOR I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE PROPOSALS IN FRONT OF US WITH STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS

OR STAFF CONDITIONS. >> SECOND.

SO IT'S A MOTION AND A SECOND CALL THE ROLL,

PLEASE. >> WERE THERE STAFF

CONDITIONS. >> YES.

>> OKAY, THANK YOU. >>

The property is zoned General Commercial (C-3). Parcel ID: 1433-431-0001-000-4.]

APPLICATION FOR STATED PLAN DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN REVIEW SUBMITTED AND AM CAN'T M.B.V. ENGINEERING GENERALLY LOCATED AT NORTH U.S. HIGHWAY 1 ADJACENT TO THE TAYLOR CREEK PUBLIC SHOPPING CENTER TO CONSTRUCT COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT CONSISTING OF 23,RETAIL AND FINE00 SQUARE FEET OF FINE DINING.

>> ALL RIGHTY. THESE PROCEEDS ARE NOW CALLED TO ORDER. WILL YOU CONFIRM THAT WE HAVE COMPLIED WITH THE ADVERTISING AND NOTICE

REQUIREMENTS. >> ADVERTISING FOR THIS ITEM HAS BEEN MET. ALL RIGHTY.

WOULD YOU ASK COMMISSIONERS ABOUT EX PARTE

COMMUNICATIONS, PLEASE. >> YES, MA'AM.

>> COMMISSIONER GAINES. >> YES, MA'AM.

>> COMMISSIONER C. JOHNSON. >> NO, MA'AM.

>> COMMISSIONER J. JOHNSON. >> YES, MA'AM I'VE SPOKEN TO THE APPLICANT, CITY STAFF AND ST. LUCIE COUNTY STAFF.

>> COMMISSIONER PERONA. >> I DON'T BELIEVE SO,

MA'AM. >> MAYOR HUDSON.

>> NO, MA'AM. >> WOULD YOU LIKE TO SWEAR

IN THE WITNESSES? >> ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM PLEASE STAND AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

DO YOU SWEAR, AFFIRM TO TELL THE TRUTH, WHOLE TRUTH AND

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH? >>.

>> PLEASE PROCEED. >> THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS. BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS SCAVELLO TAYLOR CREEK PLAN. A DESIGNATION OF GENERAL COMMERCIAL G-C WITH COMBATIBLE ZONING OR C-3.

THE PROPERTIESED TO THE NORTH ALSO HAVE A COMMERCIAL ZONING DESIGNATION, HOWEVER, IT'S LOCATED WITHIN THE

[01:15:04]

COUNTY. >> THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN FOR THIS JUST OVER FIVE ACRE SITE IS PROPOSING TO CONSTRUCT 33,003 FEET OF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT CONSISTING OF 23,600 SQUARE FEET OF RETAIL WHICH IS HIGHLIGHT BEFORE YOU ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER.

THIS BUILDING ABOUT CONSIST OF EIGHT DAY BAYS ONE OF WHICH WILL CONTAIN A DRIVE-THRU.

LOCATED ON THE NORTHEAST AND THERE WILL BE ROOFTOP DINING FOR THIS FINE DINING EXPERIENCE WHICH IS LOVELY BECAUSE IT WILL BE OVERLOOKING TAYLOR CREEK WATERWAY. SITE IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE ACCESS VIEWS OF TAYLOR CREEK THEY MEET ALL THE ZONING DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS. THE TOP ELEVATION IS THE CASUAL DINING AND THE FINE DINING DOWN BELOW THAT WOULD MAKE IT MORE APPEALING WHICH REQUIRE THE TREE MITIGATION PLAN AND THE SERDIFIED LETTER OF COMPLETION.

THE THIRD CONDITION WHICH HAS ALSO BEEN UNDERLINED TO ADD A LITTLE BIT MORE TO IT WHICH IS AFTER A DISCUSSION WITH THE PLANNING BOARD IS TO RETRIP THAT ACCESS DRIVE WHICH GIVES THE ACCESS INTO THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT VIA THROUGH THE TAYLOR CREEK SHOPPING CENTER TO U.S. 1 TO DELINEATE IT FROM JUST PART OF THE PARKING LOT.

THERE WAS DISCUSSION AT THE PLANNING BOARD MEETING THAT MAYBE NOT STRIPING AND THE APPLICANT WAS IN AGREEMENT THAT PERHAPS SOME PAVER BRICKS, SOMETHING THAT IS TO DELINEATE THAT AREA FROM THE REST OF THE SHOPPING CENTER AND THAT WE WOULD ALL AGREE UPON WHEN IT COMES THROUGH THE BUILDING PERMIT REVIEW PROCESS.

PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDING UNANIMOUSLY TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL AT THEIR JANUARY 10TH MEETING.

SHOWED ABOVE ARE THE THREE POSSIBLE ACTIONS OF THE CITY COMMISSION TO APPROVE WITH THE PROPOSED CONDITIONS TO APPROVE WITH CHANGES OR TO DISAPPROVE THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN. THE APPLICANT IS ALSO HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. AS WELL AS I.

>> ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF? >> COMMISSIONER PERONA.

>> HOW DO YOU ACCESS IT FROM U.S. 1?

>> THERE IS A LIGHT AT U.S. 1.

IT'S THE SAME ACCESS THAT GETS YOU INTO THE PUBLIX AND ALSO THE C.V.S. YOU WOULD JUST FOLLOW IT TAKE A RIGHT IT TAKES YOU INTO THE DEVELOPMENT.

JUST TO LET YOU ALL MADAM MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS, THIS SITE WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED ALTOGETHER.

SO THERE IS A NOW THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN SOLD OFF AND PURCHASED WISHING TO DEVELOP THIS VERY.

>> I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THAT ACCESS ROAD THAT CONNECTS TO

JAUNITA. >> I HAVE ABOUT 10 QUESTIONS

ON THAT. >> I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO

COME UP. >> I KNOW EXACTLY THAT CUT

THROUGH. >> SO THIS SAND RIDGE ROAD WILL BE ABANDONED THAT'S WHY THERE WAS SOME, WE SCHEDULED TO GO A PUBLIC HEARING THEN TOOK A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME WITH THE THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE OLD U.S. 1.

[01:20:01]

IT IS NOT SAFE. THERE WILL NOT BE ANY ACCESS RIGHT NOW THERE'S. THERE'S POTENTIAL FOR ACCESS OF NORTH 13TH STREET TO JAUNITA BUT THAT'S A FUTURE PLAN YOU LOOK AT THE ZONING MAPS.

MADAM MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS, I REALLY DON'T WANT TO MAKE THAT PART OF THE DISCUSSION TONIGHT BECAUSE THAT IS YOU KNOW JUST SOMETHING THAT FUTURE DISCUSSION.

>> THAT'S NOT APART. I GUESS JUST KNOWING THAT THE PUBLIC WHEN I FIRST INITIALLY LOOKED AT IT -- 11

QUESTIONS DID YOU SAY? >> LESS THAN 10 I THINK.

I HEARD A COUPLE ALREADY. [LAUGHTER] NOT ONLY IS IT UNSAFE AT THIS POINT.

>> I DO NOT HAVE IT AS PART OF THIS.

>> I THOUGHT I SAW SOMETHING ON-LINE THAT SHOWED SOME BOXES AND SQUARES THAT SHOWED --

>> THERE'S SOME IDEAS THAT WAS PUT FORWARD BY.

CAN YOU SHOW MEED ON THESIDE PLAN THE ACCESS.

>> THIS IS WHERE IT'S GOING TO ENDS.

>> AT THE OLD CUL-DE-SAC. >> AT THE OLD CUL-DE-SAC.

THAT'S WRITE THOUGHT IT WAS. DO WE KNOW HOW THAT INTERCONNECTIVE -- THAT'S WHERE I THOUGHT IT WAS.

TO TRAVERSE TO THE NORTH WHY IT WAS OPENED UP? 23,000 SQUARE FOOT OF RETAIL.

DID THIS DEVELOPMENT LOOK AT OTHER CONNECTIONS TO ALLOW THE TRAFFIC NOT TO TRAVERSE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH TO THE MIDDLE OF THE PROPERTY TO EXIT AND TO.

[01:25:04]

>> WHICH IS THE MAIN THOROUGHFARE THAT COMMISSIONER PERONA ASKED ABOUT IT.

COMMISSIONER C. JOHNSON ALSO DID.

FROM THE U.S. 1 TO THE FRONT DEER OF THIS PARCEL

BASICALLY. >> I DO KNOW.

THAT'S WHY THERE IS EXTENSIVE LANDSCAPING.

>> THOSE ARE GREAT ELEMENTS. THANK YOU.

SO GO BACK TO THAT ORIGINAL DRIVEWAY CONNECTION THAT WAS ON THE NORTH END THAT'S NOW NOT SHOWN HERE.

>> WAS IT OUR RECOMMENDATION TO REMOVE THAT DRIVEWAY ACCESS. IT WAS OUR RECOMMENDATION OR

THE COUNTY'S RECOMMENDATION? >> I THINK IT WAS STAFF RECOMMENDATION A COMBINATION WITH CITY AND COUNTY.

>> OKAY. >> ANY, OKAY.

WAS THERE ANY MERIT TO KEEPING IT? I'M JUST THINKING ABOUT 23,000 SQUARE FEET OF RETAIL AND WHERE FOLKS COME AND GO. SO I CAN.

I CAN SEE AN OPPORTUNITY THERE FOR AN EASY EXIT POINT MAYBE IT'S A RIGHT HAND EXIT ONLY TYPE.

I'M TRYING TO GET RID OF THE PEDESTRIAN VEHICLE INTERACTIONS IF WE CAN GET ANOTHER ACCESS AND EXIT POINT THEN WE LIMIT THE. SO I'M JUST TRYING TO -- WHAT'S THE QUICKEST POINT FOR ME TO LEAVE WITHOUT GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE SOUTH.

>> SO IF I MAY JUST TO BE CORRECT, SIR, SO LET'S SAY FOR INSTANCE YOU WERE AT THIS RETAIL BUILDING HERE RATHER THAN GOING DOWN HERE AND EXITING YOU'RE PROPOSING TO GO DOWN HERE AND THEN JUST TAKE THAT RIGHT?

>> WELL, I'M NOT PROPOSING. >> WELL, YOU'RE SUGGESTING.

>> I WANTED TO ASK, THAT'S OKAY, NO DON'T BE SORRY.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE ON THE RECORD SAYING I'M PROPOSING SOMETHING BECAUSE I'M NOT.

I'M ASKING THE QUESTION IS THAT WHY THE OLD DRIVEWAY CONNECTION THERE WAS, THE ORIGINAL PROPOSED DRIVEWAY CONNECTION THAT YOU SAID EARLIER?

>> IS THAT ONE OF THE REASONS PERHAPS?

>> IF I MAY MADAM MAYOR, COMMISSIONER JOHNSON THE ABANDONMENT OF SAND RIDGE ROAD WAS NOT SOLIDIFIED AT THE TIME WHEN THE FIRST SITE PLAN CAME.

SO WE HAD THAT ROAD OPEN EVEN THOUGH IT NOT A SAFE ROAD. I DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE GOING FORWARD. SO, THAT THIS DECISION WAS THEN MADE YOU KNOW, WE MET WITH PROPERTY APPRAISER.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN 15 PEOPLE IN THAT MEETING OF STAFF.

AND IT WAS DECIDED THAT, YES, WE ARE GOING TO ABANDON WHO WILL BE ABANDONING IT WILL IT BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS OR IT WILL BE THAT OF THE COUNTY AND IT WAS DETERMINED COUNTY WOULD TAKE ON THAT RESPONSIBILITY.

OKAY. SO, ALL RIGHT.

BASED ON WHAT YOU JUST SAID BECAUSE THIS IS QUOTE/UNQUOTE TESTIMONY, RIGHT, SO BASED ON WHAT YOU JUST SAID IF THAT RIGHT OF WAY WERE TO BE CLOSED OFF, AND THE ORIGINAL PROPOSED CONNECTION AT THE NORTH END WAS PUT BACK INTO THE PLAY WOULD THAT BE ACCEPTABLE TO STAFF, TO YOU? TRYING TO THAT VEHICLE

PEDESTRIAN INTERACTION. >> IF I MAY MADAM MAYOR, COMMISSIONER JOHNSON -- MY POSITION, I BELIEVE SHOULD NOT JUST STAND ALONE ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

I BELIEVE THAT THE CITY AND COUNTY ENGINEERS WOULD HAVE

TO OPINE ON THAT AS WELL. >> I DON'T DISAGREE WITH THAT. MY POINT IS I JUST DON'T WANTED TO BE CONTROLLED BY THE COUNTY DOING SOMETHING AND THEN THERE IS A DOT SPONSORED PROJECT THAT IS GOING TO WE ALL THE KNOW THIS THIS IS A KNOWN FACT IS THERE'S MONIES BEING SPENT ON THAT.

SO, I'LL LET THE APPLICANT MAYBE WEIGH IN ON THAT.

I JUST, I DIDN'T WANT TO BE LIMITED.

I DIDN'T WANT TO BE LIMITED AND FORCING OURSELVES TO A

[01:30:04]

DESIGN CONDITION WHERE WE CAN HAVE ADDITIONAL VEHICLE ACCESS POINTS ON A PRIVATE ROAD.

I WANT TO REMOVE THE COUNTY CONVERSATION LIKE YOU SAID EARLIER. I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO THINK ABOUT THOSE ITEMS. THAT'S ALL. FORCING ALL THE TRAFFIC INTO THE FINE DINING ESTABLISHMENT IN FRONT OF THAT, THAT WORRIES ME AGAIN. MAYBE, MAYBE NOT.

WE'LL LET THE APPLICANT TALK ABOUT IT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY QUESTIONS I ASKED IT WASN'T 10. IT MADE A LOT OF STATEMENTS.

>> THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF

STAFF? >> JUST SO I'M CLEAR MADAM

MAYOR. >> YEAH.

>> SURE. >> SO THAT IS THE ONLY ENTRY AND EXIT POINT IS THAT ONE YOU INDICATED.

SO THAT'S GOING ANY TRAFFIC STUDIES LOOK AT THIS AND THIS WHOLE IDEA THAT WENT THROUGH WITHOUT ANY GLARING I'M JUST THINKING FROM A PRACTICAL STANDPOINT.

THAT RETAIL DINING, PEOPLE LEAVING, PEOPLE LEAVING PUBLIC SHOPPING PLAZA. IT'S A VERY NARROW AREA THERE AND THEN PEOPLE TRYING TO COME OUT OF C.V.S. YOU KNOW AT C.V.S. HAS THAT BACK EXIT OFF OF THAT LOT IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. RIGHT NOW, I'M NOT SURE IF IT EMPTIES ONTO THAT SERVICE ROAD OR NOT.

I DON'T THINK IT DOES. I I HAVE YOU HAVE TO COME

OUT AND MAKE A QUICK LEFT. >> WHEN IT COMES TO THE TRAFFIC STUDY THERE'S ONE ACCESS POINT THAT GETS FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT WHETHER YOU TAKE THAT ONE TO THE NORTH OR THE ONE CLOSEST ONTO THE MAIN THE ROAD THAT'S GOING TO GET YOU OUT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT AND THAT'S THE ONE THAT GOES THROUGH PUBLIC SHOPPING CENTER.

YEAH, AND ACCESSES YOU KNOW. THOSE WERE, THOSE WERE THAT'S WHAT THE TRAFFIC STUDY WOULD LOOK LIKE.

NOT SO MUCH HOW THE THOUGHT PATTERN OF PEOPLE WHEN YOU'RE INSIDE THE SHOPPING CENTER.

>> MR. MIMS. COMMISSIONER GAINES.

>> I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M CLEAR ON ALL THESE QUESTIONS WE WERE ASKING. THE ACCESS POINT THAT MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS WERE TALKING ABOUT WAS THE ROAD WITH THE LIGHT THAT WAS GOING IN FROM BETWEEN THE

C.V.S. AND THE GAS STATION. >> YES.

THAT'S THE ROAD WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

RIGHT NOW THAT WILL BE THE ONLY WAY IN AND OUT RIGHT NOW. MY QUESTION IS THIS, THERE ARE IN THE PUBLIX PLAZA THERE ARE TWO OTHER ROADWAYS TO GET, TWO OTHER ROADWAYS TO GET BACK TO U.S. 1.

ONE GOING IN FRONT OF THAT WENDY'S AND ONE GOING

BEHIND. >> AND ONE FURTHER SOUTH.

>> AND I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS WITH THE TRAFFIC AND EVERYTHING. ARE WE SAYING THAT IF WE COME TO THIS DEVELOPMENT THOSE OTHER TWO WILL BE WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE AND PEOPLE CAN STILL COME AND OUT GO.

>> YES, YOU STILL CAN. THOSE TWO OTHER ACCESS POINTS THEY JUST WON'T BE THE MAIN BUT YOU EVENTUALLY WOULD GET TO THE POINT THAT WOULD ENTER INTO THIS PORTION OF WHAT WILL BE ONE SHOPPING CENTER IN MANY WAY.

>> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. >> IT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT FURTHER BACK ALONG THE CREEK.

>> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS WE WILL HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING OUT OF RESTAURANTS AND GROCERY STORES AND TRYING TO GET OUT OF ONE ACCESS POINT. I UNDERSTAND THE LITTLE ROAD

THAT IT IS UNSAFE. >> YEAH.

>> WE WILL ACTUALLY HAVE ONE IN BUT YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET TO THIS SITE COME FROM THAT WAY AND GOING AROUND.

>> IF I MAY, MADAM, COMMISSIONER GAINES PERHAPS A BETTER WAY TO LOOKED A THAT WOULD BE THERE'S ONE MAIN ENTRANCE THAT HAS A SIGNALIZATION AND THEN THERE'S OTHER WAYS TO GET INTO THE OVERALL SHOPPING CENTER BUT THIS PORTION WHICH SITS BEHIND AND ALONG THE CREEK WILL EVENTUALLY ALL FEED INTO ONE.

>> OKAY. NO MORE QUESTIONS.

>> ANY MORE QUESTIONS, MR. MIMS?

>> MADAM MAYOR, I HOPE I'M NOT OUT OF LINE BY ASKING ANY QUESTIONS AS I WAS LOOKING AT THIS I SEE THAT SANDRIDGE ROAD IS GOING TO BE ABANDONED, OKAY.

BUT, THE RESPONSIBILITY OF REMOVING THE PAVEMENT, THE RESPONSIBILITY OF BLOCKING THE ROAD WHO TAKES THAT RESPONSIBILITY? IS THE COUNTY GOING TO BLOCK THE ROAD AND REMOVE THE PAVEMENT, OTHERWISE YOU WILL STILL HAVE A ROAD THERE SO WHO'S GOING TO UNDERTAKE THAT RESPONSIBILITY? DO YOU KNOW.

>> MR. MIMS, MADAM MAYOR I DO KNOW THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF BARRIER THAT WILL NOT ALLOW PEOPLE TO COME DOWN THAT ROAD. I DON'T KNOW AT WHAT POINT

[01:35:02]

THE PAVEMENT AND WHO'S RESPONSIBILITY THAT WOULD BE

TO REMOVE IT. >> OKAY.

FOLKS WILL CONTINUE TO ACCESS THERE.

>> THEY WILL. >> JUST BECAUSE YOU SAY IT'S

CLOSED. >> OR IT'S NOT SAFE.

>> LIKE COMMISSIONER CURTIS JOHNSON I'M SURE HE WILL JUMP THAT BARER IF HE'S GOING TO ACCESS THAT ROADWAY -- BARRIER IF HE'S GOING TO ACCESS THAT ROADWAY.

[LAUGHTER] >> YEAH, YEAH, GOOD POINT.

VERY GOOD POINT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF. OKAY, SO IF THE APPLICANT COULD COME FORWARD, PLEASE. WE'RE OPENING THE PUBLIC HEARING. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF

STAFF? >> NOT AT THIS TIME.

DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK FIRST. >> I WANT YOU TO ASK YOUR QUESTION IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF WHAT THEY PRESENTED. ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF.

>> I DO NOT HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

>> YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND -- >> GOOD EVENING AGAIN, REBECCA KPP GRILLHALL -- GRILLHALL.

LOTS OF REALLY GOOD DISCUSSION TONIGHT DEFINITELY. SANDRIDGE ROAD I KNOW HISTORICALLY THERE'S A LOT TIED UP IN THAT ROAD AND IT'S GIVEN ACCESS TO THAT AREA FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

WE TRIED, PLEADED, I THINK TRIED TO DO CARTWHEELS TO WORK WITH THE COUNTY TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO KEEP THAT ROAD ALIVE AND INTACT. IT JUST ISN'T A LOT OF GOOD SOLUTIONS UNTIL YOU START LOOKING AT THE OPPORTUNITIES FURTHER NORTH. NORTH 13TH STREET AND THERE'S ANOTHER ROAD I APOLOGIZE I DON'T HAVE THE NAME OFF HAND THAT COMES OFF OF 13TH.

COULD PROVIDE LOTS OF EAST WEST OPPORTUNITIES.

WE'VE HAD LOTS OF DISCUSSIONS WITH THE COUNTIES ABOUT HOW AND WHERE AND HOW AND TO GET THAT ROADBLOCKED OFF. IT APPEARS THAT IT WILL REMAIN FUNCTIONAL SOMETIME WHILE THIS DEVELOPMENT MOVES FORWARD AND THEN EVENTUALLY A BARRIER WILL BE INSTALLED AND I THINK A SECTION OF PAVEMENT WILL BE REMOVED.

I THINK FOR THE TIME BEING THAT THEY WANT TO KEEP THE PAVEMENT IN THE CUL-DE-SAC WHICH IS PART OF THE COUNTY'S RIGHT AWAY. EVERYTHING SOUTH OF THAT CUL-DE-SAC IS THE PRIVATE ROAD THAT GOES PART OF THE TAYLOR CREEK DEVELOPMENT. THE CUL-DE-SAC WILL PROVIDE SOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE PARCEL DIRECTLY TO THE EAST THAT'S BEING PROGRAMMED FOR DEVELOPMENT RIGHT NOW TO AND WE HAVE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS ABOUT HOW TO KEEP THAT PAVEMENT THERE SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR PROPERTY.

THEN JUST PROBABLY LIKELY THAT THEY WOULD REMOVE THAT JUST A LITTLE FURTHER NORTH. BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT WOULD PROBABLY BE BARRICADED SIMILAR TO OLD DIXIE HIGHWAY JUST WHERE IT CAME OFF NORTH U.S. 1 WHERE THE BRIDGE WENT

OUT. >> RIGHTY.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SAY BEFORE WE HAVE

QUESTIONS? >> I DO JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS. I KNOW THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT AND I THINK WE HAVE SOME GREAT INTERNAL PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION THAT CAN GO AROUND BOTH SIDES THROUGH SIDEWALKS AT LEAST. BOTH ON THE EAST SIDE AND THE WESTSIDE. THE WESTSIDE IS KIND OF NICE BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT ALONG THE RIVER COMING OFF OF THE RESTAURANTS. INTERNALLY THROUGH THE PARKING LOT RELEASE SAFE PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALKS, TOO.

SO WITH THEM I'M HAPPY TO TURN IT OVER.

>> WELCOME. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. JUST I WANTED TO TELL YOU GUYS HOW EXCITED WE ARE TO START THIS PROJECT AND TO CREATE JOBS AND BE PART OF THE COMMUNITY FOR MANY YEARS. THANK YOU.

WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY.

>> WE APPRECIATE YOUR BEING HERE.

ALL RIGHTY. >> THANK YOU.

>> QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS.

COMMISSIONER C. JOHNSON. >> SO WELCOME AND YOUR DEVELOPMENT THIS IS EXCITING TO SEE AND TO SEE THE COMMUNITY COME TO THAT AREA WITH FINE DINING AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE GREAT VIEW, I'M SURE OF THE CREEK THAT FLOWS BACK THERE AND SOME UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES SOUNDS LIKE ROOFTOP DINING, ETC. JUST A QUICK QUESTION TO THE QUICK SERVICE IN THE RIGHT BOX THERE.

ANY IDEAS OR IMPRESSION WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE FOR YOU.

>> AS FAR AS A TENANT? >> YES.

>> NOT RIGHT NOW. WE'RE ACTUALLY, SO THE 7900 SQUARE FOOT IS GOING TO BE A RESTAURANT.

IT'S GOING TO BE OWNER OPERATED BY MYSELF.

I OWN A RESTAURANT IN CITY NEW YORK NOW ITALIAN RESTAURANT, SEAFOOD SO I'M GOING TO BRING THAT TO FORT

PIERCE. >> GREAT.

>> IT'S GOOD QUALITY FOOD AND YOU KNOW IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT. BUT THE TENANTS WE DIDN'T -- RIGHT NOW WE'RE NOT 100% SURE.

[01:40:01]

WE DID GET SOME INQUIRES BUT NOTHING SOLID.

>> BUT IT COULD BE -- WHEN YOU SAY QUICK SERVICE I THINK OF A WENDY, MCDONALD'S IS THAT QUICK SERVICE MIND

OR COFFEE SHOP OR SOMETHING? >> JERSEY MIKE'S, WE HAD SOME INQUIRES WITH SOMETHING IN THAT END OF IT.

JUST TRYING TO GENERATE THE MIX OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

YOU GOT RETAIL SPACE THERE, OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S A LITTLE THING IN THE BACK CORNER HERE, DID I MISS SOMETHING ON THAT? TOP LEFT.

YEAH. >> THE STATION.

>> I THOUGHT THAT WHAT IT WAS.

I'M GOOD. >> WHO HAS A QUESTION.

COMMISSIONERS GAINES. >> LET'S GO BACK TO THIS ROAD. I'M SORRY.

ANY, I UNDERSTAND THERE'S GOING TO BE BARRICADES, I UNDERSTAND THAT AT SOME POINT SOME PAVEMENT IS GOING TO BE MOVED, RIGHT. HAS THERE BEEN ANY THOUGHT OF BARRICADING IT SO CARS CAN'T GO DOWN THERE BUT WE CAN STILL USE IT AS A WAY FOR RESIDENTS JUST COMING OFF JAUNITA TO EITHER ONCE YOU BUILD IT SO COME FROM RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER AND WALK TO YOUR FACILITY OR THE ONES THAT WE SEE ALL THESE BICYCLES NOW IN THE AREA THAT CAN RIDE THEIR BICYCLES AND PARK THEIR BICYCLES TO GET TO YOUR ESTABLISHMENT JUST TO MAKE IT OPERATIONAL TO EVERYBODY. JUST THE IDEA THAT I JUST REACHED UP AND TOLD THE CITY MANAGER HAS ANYBODY BROUGHT UP THE WAY OF JUST KEEPING IT AS A PEDESTRIAN PUT THE BARRICADES SO THEY CAN'T GO THROUGH UNTIL WHATEVER HAPPENS AND THEY MOVE IT? JUST A QUESTION.

>> I THINK THAT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

SO I DID PITCH IT A COUPLE TIMES TO ST. LUCIE COUNTY ENGINEERING STAFF TO KEEP IT AS LIKE A FUNCTIONAL BIKE LANE/PEDESTRIAN SIDEWALK IT WOULD BE FAIRLY EASY FOR THEM JUST TO NARROW THE WIDTH A LITTLE BIT OF THAT PATH AND KIND OF CREATE THAT HISTORIC, I THINK IT WOULD BE A REALLY BEAUTIFUL WAY TO ALSO LINK INTO THE EAST COAST GREEN WAY AND JUST IDEAS.

>> I LOVE IT. >> I LOVE IT.

>> I DON'T WANT MY FELLOW COMMISSIONER GET HIS CAR STUCK ON THERE BUT HE MIGHT HAVE A BICYCLE.

I JUST KNOW IN THAT COMMUNITY, IN THAT COMMUNITY THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO TAKE THEIR BIKES TO GO TO THAT PUBLIX. YOU DON'T WANT TO EXCLUDE THEM IF YOU'RE TRYING TO BRING BUSINESS.

IN JUST SOMETHING TO THINK BY THE BLOCK IT OFF SOMEBODY CAN WALK IN AND RIDE THEIR BIKE GET IN AND GO HOME.

JUST AN IDEA. >> IF I MAY, MADAM MAYOR,

COMMISSIONER. >> YES.

>> THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE WOULD HAVE TO TALK TO THE COUNTY WITH REGARDS TO THE WAY WE ABANDON IT.

RIGHT NOW THAT'S THE PORTION THAT THE COUNTY IS PROPOSING TO ABANDON. SO HALF WOULD GO TO THE EAST, HALF WOULD GO TO THE WEST. THEY WOULD HAVE TO MAINTAIN SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TO MAINTAIN THAT PORTION THAT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS DEFINITELY WORTH EXPLORING. REALLY GOOD IDEA.

>> YES. >> SO ON THE MAP WE'RE LOOKING AT THERE THAT WHOLE AREA FROM U.S. 1 SANDRIDGE HAS THOSE PLATTED ROADWAYS THAT ARE THERE THERE'S PROBABLY SOME OPPORTUNITY IN THE FUTURE THAT LITTLE TRIANGLES I THINK COMMISSIONER IT'S A GREAT IDEA. I'LL BE GLAD TO REACH OUT TO OUR COUNTY OFFICIALS ABOUT THAT WITH YOU AT ANY TIME.

YOU WRITE YOUR LETTER I'LL WRITE MY LETTER WE'LL GET SOMETHING HAPPENING. SO YOU HEARD MY QUESTIONS EARLIER SO. IN YOUR ORIGINAL PROPOSAL IN YOUR PROPOSAL THAT'S HERE THERE'S ONE DRIVEWAY ACCESS

IS THAT PREFERRED DESIGN? >> HONESTLY, I WOULD HAVE TO SAY NO AND THAT'S WITH ALL RESPECT TO CITY STAFF I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A SECONDARY POINT OF ACCESS ON THAT PLACE. IT WOULD BE LIMITED TO A LEFT TURN IN AND A RIGHT TURN OUT.

IF THE WILL OF THE COMMISSION WAS EVEN JUST TO ALLOW THE RIGHT TURN OUT I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD BE OPEN TO. WE DID HAVE ONE PROGRAM THERE SO WE COULD ALWAYS PUT THAT BACK IN.

>> DID YOU SHOW ME WHERE JUST TO MAKE SURE I WANT TO

BE CONSISTENT IT'S THE SAME. >> IT WAS RIGHT HERE.

RIGHT THERE. YOU MAY HAVE TO MOVE IT A

COUPLE TIMES. >> HERE, RIGHT?

>> YES, IF YOU MOVE IT LEFT AND RIGHT.

[01:45:01]

IS THAT THE DRIVE OUT. CONNECTION RIGHT THERE.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE I WAS TALKING THE LANGUAGE THAT I WAS SUSPECTED THAT'S THE PRIVATE SECTION STILL THAT'S NOT THE COUNTY KEGS. THE PRIVATE SECTION JUST STOPS AT THIS HOUSE AND THAT INITIALLY WAS ALL WAS ALL PUBLIC ROADWAY. AND ST. LUCIE COUNTY WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR US THE TIMELINE OF WHEN THAT WAS ORIGINALLY ABANDONED FOR THE PUBLIX DEVELOPMENT THAT PORTION OF SANDRIDGE AT LEAST ALTHOUGH IT'S ALWAYS BEEN OPEN TO THE PUBLIC FOR THEIR USE AND CROSS ACCESS.

>> SO WHEN WAS IT? >> WHEN PUBLIX WAS BUILT,

RIGHT? >> I BELIEVE IT GOES BACK TO LIKE 1958 WHEN THE ORIGINAL PROJECT FOR WHAT'S KNOWN.

>> I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHAT PERIOD OF TIME IT WAS.

IF THAT'S REALLY OLD, IF THAT'S THE ORIGINAL U.S. 1 THAT'S ORIGINAL U.S. 1. I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF IT WENT BACK TO THERE. THAT'S ALL.

>> THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW.

>> SO, EARLIER YOU MENTIONED THAT THE COUNTY AND STAFF MENTIONED IT YOU DID, FROM WHAT I WROTE DOWN HERE THAT THAT CUL-DE-SAC THAT I'M SEEING ON THE SITE PLAN HERE THEY WANT TO MAINTAIN THAT BECAUSE THERE'S A FUTURE OPPORTUNITY FOR JUST TO THE EAST SIDE THE CUL-DE-SAC I KEEP CALLING IT. DO YOU KNOW IF THAT PARCEL HAS ACCESS TO U.S. 1 IT HAS FRONTAGE.

IT DOES. NOT MANDATED BUT ENOUGH TO BE PART OF THE PARCEL. SO MY NEXT QUESTION IS BECAUSE -- WE HAVE THAT PREVENTS YOU KNOW YOU DO A LITTLE PAW NUT ENGINEERING STAFF KNOWS HOW TO DO THAT.

YOU CAN'T JUST CAN'T A RIGHT HAND TURN IN.

IT'S GOING TO BE BLOCKED WHETHER IT'S AN OAK TREE.

TO LAUGH YOUR DEVELOPMENT GOING TO THE SOUTH I'M PARKED RIGHT IN THE MAIN DRIVE AISLE.

WE REDESIGN OUR ROADWAYS IN THE CITY OFFORD PIERCE BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT ANYBODY BACKING UP INTO THE DRIVE AISLE WE DO IT ALL THE TIME TO ELIMINATE THAT CONDITION. ONE OF THE CONDITIONS OF STAFF WAS TO LOOK AT ENHANCING THE INTO AND ALL THE WAY TO YOUR ELEMENT. TO THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PARCEL WOULD YOU ALSO BE WILLING TO IMPROVE THAT SECTION OF ASPHALT? IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO DO

TWO-THIRDS. >> YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS SECTION HERE. COMMISSIONERS I JUST WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT PART OF THIS. I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, TOO, I'M VERY GRATEFUL YOU HAVE THE FINE AN ESTABLISHMENT BEING BUILT ON TAYLOR CREEK AND I'M THANKFUL FOR THAT.

I'VE HAD MANY CONVERSATIONS IF WE CAN CONVINCE OUR COUNTY FRIENDS TO ELIMINATE THE OLD DIXIE BRIDGE, THIS IS ANOTHER CONVERSATION, BUT THIS IS PART OF WHERE THIS VISION IS. THIS IS DRIVING.

IF WE CAN HAVE BOAT ACCESS TO THIS PARTICULAR PART OF

[01:50:01]

TAYLOR CREEK DISTRICT 1 IS DRANCE FORMED, THE CITY OF FORT -- IS TRANSFORMED. THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE THAT'S TRANSFORMATIONAL TO HAVE BOAT ACCESS.

>> I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT FOR FIVE YEARS.

KEEP ON. KEEP THE THUNDER.

I JUST WANTED TO GET THAT OUT THERE.

ABANDONMENTS AND ROADWAYS. BUT I'M GRATEFUL THAT THAT HAVE YOU PROVIDED THIS SO THANK YOU.

COMMISSIONER JEREMIAH JOHNSON NOTED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT ACCESS IMPROVED.

COULD YOU PROVIDE CLARIFICATION AS TO WHAT IMPROVED MEANS? WELL, WHATEVER STAFF'S CONDITION IS THAT I SAW ON THE SCREEN IF YOU GO TO THE STAFF CONDITION LIST I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT HAS SAID YES TO THAT, BECAUSE THEY ARE THEY ARE COMING UP WITH A PLAN TO IMPROVE AND/OR REPAVE, STRIPE, MAKE NICER FROM U.S. 1 AT THE SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION ALL THE WAY TO BOTH IF WE WERE TO ADD A DRIVEWAY TO YOUR PROPERTY. MAKE IT LOOK BATH.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

SEEING NO ONE THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE.

ANY MORE? >>.

NO [LAUGHTER] ALL RIGHT. I'M CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING AND SO LET'S HAVE A DISCUSSION.

>> I'VE TALKED TOO MUCH. >> I THINK, FIRST OF ALL, I THINK THIS IS VERY EXCITING TO HAVE THE FINE DINING ON TAYLOR CREEK AND I SEE EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. IT WOULD BE TRANSFORMATIONAL FOR NORTH FORT PIERCE, IT WOULD BE.

IT WOULD MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

>> I THINK THAT AND WHAT I ALSO HEARD MADAM MAYOR WAS THE APPARENTLY IN WHAT I WOULD CALL THE FRONT OF THIS PROPERTY RIGHT NOW ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD IS A RESIDENTIAL PLACE AT THE MOMENT.

SO IT SOUNDS LIKE IF I HEARD THAT RIGHT THAT MAY NOT BE THE CASE GOING FORWARD. AND THAT AREA MAY BE OTHER IT'S A GREAT APPEAL TO BE IN THERE AND AND PROVIDING A THIS SEGMENT HERE AND THEY'RE LOOKING AT QUITE A BIT OF RETAIL DEVELOPMENT BRINGING THAT AND COMMITTEE AND SEE IT. I AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER JOHN IT'S JUST TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THAT PRESSURE, I GUESS MY POINT THAT'S A LOT PACKED INTO THAT NORTH END AND JUST EVEN IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GET PEOPLE OUT OF THERE, RIGHT.

TO HAVE TO COME ALL THE WAY BACK ACROSS THAT PARKING LOT SUNNY WILL BE CLOSED. I'M SORRY I THE MAN SANDRIDGE. ENHANCING THEY CAN GET OUT ON A RIGHT TURN, RIGHT. IT MAKES SENSE TO ME AND I ALSO COMMISSIONER GAINS IT'S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

A LOT MORE VENT, SOMEWHERE AROUND THE CORNER THERE'S A

[01:55:03]

BUS STOP. I LOVE HEARING THAT A FINE DINING RESTAURANT IS COMING IN THAT AREA.

YEAH. COMING IN BACK OVER THE BRIDGE AS SOON AS YOU GET THERE YOU YOU HAVE FINE RESTAURANT WITH THIS OTHER STUFF IT'S SCBRUD SOMETHING SO I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT I JUST KNOW THAT THEY WILL USE IT IF WE MAKE IT FOR THEM THEY WILL USE IT AND I SEE THE BICYCLES.

>> SO YOU DO HAVE SO MANY USES GOING ON.

YOU HAVE A GAS STATION YOU HAVE A C.V.S., YOU HAVE PUBLIX AND OTHER THINGS GOING ON, THIS IS BECOME BECOME A COMMERCE CENTER ONCE THIS THING GETS DEVELOPED WE HAVE A LOT OF DEVELOPED -- -- YOU'RE GOING SOUTH. THERE'S THREE DAYS TO GET OUTSIDE OF THE PLACE. THERE'S ONLY REALLY ONE I'M SURE THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT WITH IS ALSO GOING TO INCORPORATE. HAVE YOU COME UP WITH A NAME I CAN'T ASK YOU THAT I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK OF A NAME. MAYBE EVEN HAVE CONGOALAS COMING UP AND DOWN THE RIVER. BECAUSE GONDOLAS CAN GO UNDER THE RAILROAD BRIDGE. WE'RE GOOD, WE'RE GOOD.

WE'LL TALK TO YOU LATER, I'M SORRY.

COMMISSIONER JOHNSON WHERE ARE YOU IN YOUR HEAD ABOUT

THIS. >> MOTION TO AWITH STAFF'S THREE CONDITIONS IN ADDITION TO TO A 4G CONDITION OF ADDING A EXITED RIGHT OUT -- -- WITH A FOURTH CONDITION WITH ADDING AN EXIT RIGHT OUT WITH FURTHER DEVELOPMENT AND STAFF'S ACCEPTANCE. WE HAVE DISCUSSED THAT ON THE RECORD TONIGHT. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE

IT GEOGRAPHICALLY. >> IS THERE A SECOND.

>> I JUST WANT CLARIFICATION ON THAT THAT ALSO IS INCLUDED IN THE IMPROVEMENTS OF THE ROADWAY, RIGHT.

>> OH, I'M SORRY. WELL, YES, CORRECT.

SO RESTRIPE ACCESS DRIVE WOULD BE THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE ACCESS DRIVE. SO THAT WAS A MOTION YOU WANT TO RESTATE. IT I MAKE A MOTION TO I PROVE THE SITE PLAN WITH STAFF'S THREE CONDITIONS CONDITION NUMBER 3 TO INCLUDE THE ACCESS DRIVE CONNECTING BOTH DRIVEWAY CONNECTION POINTS OF THE PARCEL. THE FOURTH CONDITION WOULD BE ADDING AN EXIT POINT RIGHT OUT ONLY TO THE NORTH

[02:00:01]

OF THE PARCEL. IS THERE A SECOND.

>> SECOND. IS THERE DISCUSSION?

>> I DON'T WANT THIS TO BE A DEAL KILLER THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS POSSIBLE AND THERE ISN'T ANY REAL BIG HURDLE THAT, THAT CAUSES THIS DEVELOPER NOT TO BE ABLE TO GET THIS DONE. IS THAT TRUE? I JUST NEED TO KNOW THAT. FROM WHAT WE'VE HEARD.

>> HE AGREED TO IT ON THE RECORD.

>> LIKE AGENCIWISE. >> YEAH.

OR JURISDICTION-WISE. >> THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS POSSIBLE AND ALL IT IS IS AN ACCEPTANCE BY THE DEVELOPER? IS THAT RIGHT MR. MIMS DO YOU KNOW?

>> I CANNOT SPEAK FOR THE OWNERS OF THE TAYLOR KROOEK PLAZA BUT I'M -- THE THIRD CONDITION TO RESTRIPE THE ACCESS DRIVE AND NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IMPROVING THE ACCESS DRIVE AS IT CONTINUES TO GO NORTH TO PROVIDE OR HAVE ANOTHER DRIVEWAY ACCESS CONNECTION.

AGAIN, THIS COULD BE JUST A SIMPLE MATTER OF STRIPING AND I DON'T FORESEE ANY ISSUES WITH THAT BUT OF COURSE THE TAYLOR CREEK PLAZA FOLKS HAVE TO.

>> THE ONLY WAY THE ONLY THING I SEE THE APPLICANT GOING THROUGH WHATEVER THIS GROUP IS BECAUSE THERE'S NO CONNECTIVE THERE'S REALLY NO CONNECTIVITY TO FORT PIERCE RIGHT OF WAY IT'S JUST OUR SITE PLAN PROCESS BECAUSE IT'S WITHIN OUR JURISDICTION.

SO. >> BUT I WOULD AGREE WITH

YOU. >> I DON'T WANT IT TO BE A HURDLE. I DON'T WANT IT TO KILL WHAT

WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE. >> THIS THIS IS REALLY A VERY, VERY POSITIVE THING. GOOD POINT.

MISS COX. SO SHOULD WE SAY THAT IF THE ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS IF ALLOWABLE BY THE PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNER? OR DO YOU WANT YOU DON'T WANT THE EXIT IF THEY CAN'T DO THE IMPROVEMENT.

I'M JUST TRYING TO GET CLEAR ON WHAT IT'S GOING LOOK LIKE. THE CONDITION IS THERE IF I WERE TO NOT RECOMMEND THE FOURTH CONDITION OF ADDING A DRIVEWAY I STILL RECOMMEND THAT WE STRIPE THE HE

SECONDED IT. >> I SECONDED IT.

READY TO GO. OKAY.

ARE WE ALL COMFORTABLE AS COMFORTABLE AS WE CAN BE TO VOTE? ALL RIGHT.

CALL THE ROLL PLEASE.

NEXT IS AN APPLICATION FOR SITE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW SUBMITTED BY PROPERTY OWNER J.B.L. FOR CROTT ROADS PARKWAY WAREHOUSE GENERALLY LOCATEDDED ON THE EAST SIDE OF CROSSROADS PARKWAY AND WEST OF I-95 TO CONSTRUCT A 207,458 SQUARE FOOT OFFICE/WAREHOUSE BUILDING THE PROPERTY IS ZONED

COMMERCIAL PARKWAY CP-1. >> CITY CLERK HAVE WE MET THE ADVERTISING REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS ITEM? WE HAVE MET THE ADVERTISING REQUIREMENTS NOR I.T.

WOULD YOU ASK COMMISSIONERS ABOUT EX PARTE COMMUNICATION.

COMMISSIONERS GAINS. >> YES, MA'AM.

>> COMMISSIONER J. JOHNSON. NO, MA'AM.

>> COMMISSIONER PERONA. >> NO.

MAYOR HUDSON. >> NO, MA'AM.

>> WOULD YOU LIKE TO SWEAR ANY WITNESSES.

>> BE HAPPY TO. ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM DO YOU SWEAR AFFIRM TO TELL THE TRUTH, WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH.

THANK YOU. >> PROCEED PLEASE.

>> MADAM MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS, SECOND ITEM THAT I WILL BE PRESENTING IS CROSSROADS PARKWAY WAREHOUSE SITE PLAN. SUBJECT PROPERTY IS GENERALLY LOCATED AT 3800 PARKWAYCROSSROADS IT'S GENERALLY COMMERCIAL AND THE ZONING IS COMMERCIAL PARKWAY.

SO. THE SUBJECT APPLICATION THEY ARE PROPOSING JUST OVER 200,000 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE WAREHOUSE RIGHT NOW AS YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE IS

[02:05:01]

SOME LINES OF SEPARATION INTERNALLY BUT THAT HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED. THEY DO NOT HAVE AN END USER AT THIS TIME. BUT, THEY ARE, THEY, THEY SAW WHAT THEY COULD SEE WHAT THEY COULD FIT WITHIN THE BUILDING TO MAKE IT EQUAL SO THAT IS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN ABOVE. THERE ARE TWO ACCESS POINTS FROM CROSSROADS PARKWAY AND SHOWN IN RED ARE WHERE THE DUMPSTERS ARE. AND ALL OF THIS IS THE PARKING. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE NORTH ARROW HAS NOW SHIFTED TO WHERE RATHER I-95 IS ON THE

BOTTOM PART OF THE SCREEN. >> SO SHOWN ABOVE IS THE LANDSCAPE PLAN THAT IS BEING PROPOSED BY THE APPLICANT.

THE ENTIRE SITE DOES HAVE 10 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER BUT AS YOU CAN SEE MUCH MORE HAS ALSO BEEN PADDED INTO THE SITE. THIS IS A 10 FOOT BUT THIS ENTIRE AREA IS HEAVILY LANDSCAPED WITH NATIVE VEGETATION. THIS AREA WILL BE A DRY DETENTION AREA WHICH WILL ALSO BE HEAVILY LANDSCAPED.

SIDE DATA IS SHOWN ABOVE TO SHOW CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMMERCIAL PARKWAY ZONING DISTRICT.

THE APPLICANT MEETS OR EXCEEDS ALL OF THOSE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS. SHOWN ABOVE ARE THE ELEVATIONS FOR THE BUILDING AS YOU CAN SEE FOUR DIFFERENT COLOR CHOICES HAVE BEEN PROPOSED AND THIS, AGAIN IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE AN END USER AT THIS TIME SO IT ALLOWS FOR THOSE TENANTS TO SELECT WHICH COLOR THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ON THE BUILDING. THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL ELEVATION THAT SHOWS HOW THE SHADOWS AND DIFFERENT COLORS WILL PROVIDE ENTRANCE INTO THE BUILDING.

THE ENTIRE SITE WILL BE UPLIT AND WILL REALLY PROVIDE FOR A GREAT ENTRANCE INTO THIS AREA.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS THEN TIED INTO THE CROSSROADS INDUSTRIAL PARK WAREHOUSE BUILDING ALSO WHICH IS OVER A MILLION SQUARE FEET. SO THE WHOLE AREA IS GOING TO COMPLETELY TRANSFORM ITSELF.

SHOWN ABOVE ARE THE FOUR CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED BY STAFF TO FIRST TWO ARE THE STANDARD CONDITIONS WITH REGARD TO TREE MITIGATION AND THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE SIGN-OFF.

THE THIRD IS THAT THERE IS A PARKING FEE IN LIEU OF EIGHT PARKING SPACES THAT WILL BE REQUIRED TO ENGINEERING STAFF SUPPORTED THAT. AS THERE ARE A INSURE OF DIFFERENT PARCELS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROPERTY.

ON JANUARY 10ING, PLANNING BOARD ARE TO APPROVE WITH THE CONDITIONS APPROVED BY STAFF I AM HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF.

COMMISSIONER PERONA. >> AGAIN REMIND ME WHAT IS OUR INLIEU FEE FOR PARKING? IS IT $6,000.

>> PER SPACE. >> THAT WAS REDUCTION.

THAT WAS REDUCTION. I THOUGHT IT DROPPED TO 2.

WE MOVED IT TO 6. AND I PROBABLY SHOULD BE TWICE, THAT BUT THAT'S ANOTHER CONVERSATION.

GOOD EVENING FOR THE RECORD I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN I'M PRESENTING THE PROJECT. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU. HAVE ALSO WITH ME IS MICHAEL RIM HE WILL BE THE GENTLEMAN BUILDING AND MANAGING THE PROMPT I DID WANT TO SAY THIS BUILDING IS ABOUT 207,000 SQUARE FEET. WE ARE PROPOSING TO HAVE MULTIPLE TENANTS HERE. THIS IS PROBABLY WILL NOT BE A SINGLE TENANT BUILDING THAT'S THE INTENT.

IT'S REALLY GOING TO PROVIDE YOU KNOW 20,000 TO 50,000 TO 60,000 SQUARE FEET WHICH IS SOMETHING WE DON'T REALLY HAVE ON THE CHARTER COAST AREA RIGHT NOW THAT'S SMALLER 20 TO 50 SOUNDS PRETTY LARGE BUT IT'S NOT LIKE THE MILLION SQUARE FOOT OR 500,000 SQUARE FOOTER THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THAT MEDIUM SIZE COMPANY TO COME IN. SOMETHING WE DON'T USUALLY SEE RIGHT NOW IN THE MARKETPLACE.

[02:10:02]

>> THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS OF THE AM CAN'T. ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? OKAY.
