[a. Zoning Atlas Map Amendment - Coral Sands Planned Development - 511 S. Ocean Drive]

I BELIEVE WE HAVE HEARD THIS PROJECT.

>> CORAL SAND, NO. NO.

>> WE HAVE NOT HAD THIS AT ALL? OKAY.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON PLANNING BOARD MEMBERS AND PLANNING CHAIR, BEFORE YOU AS A ZONING APPLETS MEMBER FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY OF 511 SOUTH OCEAN DRIVE. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY 1.7 ACRES, GIVE OR TAKE.

AND IS LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF PURPOSE AVENUE AND SOUTH OCEAN DRIVE. THE CURRENT FUTURE LAND USE IS HI ART WHICH IS FUNSTON ISLAND RESIDENTIAL, BUT THE ZONING OF WHICH IS HUTCHISON ISLAND RESIDENTIAL ZONE.

JUST AS STATED THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A REZONING FROM ART 482 PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATED PLAN DEVELOPMENT PLAN. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE

[00:05:03]

AND 125 -- 136 OF THE CITY CODE AND THE COMPANY HAS A PLAN.

IT ALSO DOES NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT THE PUBLIC HEALTH SAFETY AND CONVENIENCE AND GENERAL WELFARE.

BEFORE IT WAS A PD PLAN WHICH CONSISTS OF 12 PLATTED LOT FOR A SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED AND DETACHED HOMES.

STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST, POSSIBLE PLANNING BOARD ACTING CHANCE. RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ZONING ATLAS MERRIMENT WITH NO CHANGES, RECOMMENDED WITH CHANGES, OR RECOMMEND DISAPPROVAL. AND I WILL GO BACK TO THE PD.

FOR YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> ARE WELCOME. >> WE DIDN'T HEAR ONE OVER THERE

DID WE NOT? >> THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL, IT WAS NOT THIS ONE. NOT THIS ONE.

>> OKAY,. >> I THINK IT WAS I'LL SHORES?

>> MAYBE. >> AND THAT IS ON SEAWAY.

YES THAT IS THE ONE YOU SAW. >> OKAY, ALRIGHT THANK YOU.

I JUST TRY TO KEEP ME STRAIGHT. >> IS THE SAME DEVELOPER.

>> MAYBE THAT IS WHY IT CLICKED IN MY MIND GIVE ME ANOTHER EXCUSE. IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS, FOR

MR. GILMORE BY OUR BOARD? >> YES MR. CHAIR, THIS IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES. CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS BEING SHIFTED, FROM MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION? UNDER THAT ZONING CLASSIFICATION I AM ASSUMING THAT THE SITE PLAN WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE IN THAT FORMAT? WHAT IS THE REASON FOR SHIFTING

IT TO PLAINTIFF ELEMENT? >> IT HAD TO DO WITH THE DIMENSIONS OF THE PARCELS, AND I BELIEVE THERE WAS ALSO SOMETHING ABOUT THE DRIVEWAY, I WILL LET THE APPLICANT.

>> SPEAKER2: THAT DENNIS MURPHY. BUT I BELIEVE THERE WAS SOME

DISCREPANCY ABOUT THE ALLEYWAY. >> OKAY THANK YOU.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NOT SEEING ANY I WILL OPEN TO THE PUBLIC MEETING, IF THE APPLICANT WOULD LIKE TO STEP

FORWARD. >> YES, SIR MR. CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSIONERS, FOR THE RECORD MY NME IS DENNIS MURPHY I AM WITH CULPEPPER INTERPRETING HERE AND FOR PRAYERS.

WE ARE THE ENGINEERS AND LAND PLANNERS FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT. AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER SOME YOUR QUESTIONS MR. BRODRICK AND THEN GIVE YOU A BRIEF OVERVIEW FOR THE WHOLE PROJECT THAT WE ARE DOING.

STAFF SPECIFICALLY, IDENTIFIED WHERE WE ARE AND WHAT WE ARE DOING. WE ARE LOCATED ON ABOUT 13 QUARTER EAGLE PARSER OF LAND ON THE EAST SIDE OF A 1A, AT THE INTERSECTION AND BETWEEN HER PORPOISE IN FRANCIS OVER ON FORT PIERCE PIECE. PROPERLY IS CURRENTLY PLATTED UNDER THE OLD EXISTING PLATS FROM EONS AGO.

AND IT IS I THINK IT HAS 13 LOTS THAT ARE PART OF THE EXISTING PLAT, TO GET RIGHT TO YOUR QUESTION WHY ARE WE DOING THE PD IN A SUBDIVISION? LOT SIZE.

LOT SIZE AND FLEXIBILITIES THERE TOO.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN FOR THE PROJECT, YOU WILL SEE THAT WE DO NOT HAVE DRIVEWAYS COMING OUT ON EITHER A 1A, OR HERNANDO. THEY CONSCIOUSLY DECIDED THAT WE WERE GOING TO FOCUS ON THE DRIVEWAYS INTERNALLY, AND HENCE WE HAVE DEVELOPED WHAT WE ARE CALLING AND ALLEYWAY A GLORIFIED ALLEYWAY, ACCESS WAY, WHERE OUR FRONT OF OUR HOUSE FACES END, AND IN THE BACK OF THE HOUSE FACES OUT.

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THE ACTS ACTUALLY HAVE THE BETTER VIEW, AND THAT'S WHERE THE ACTIVITY IN THE HOME AS IT USUALLY IN THE REAR OF THE HOUSE. AND IT HAS UP THEIR VIEW OF THE OCEAN AND THEN TOWARDS THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND THE REST OF THE BEACH AREA. THE HOMES, I BELIEVE YOU HAVE IT IN YOUR PACKAGE, ARE THREE STORIES.

THEY ARE SIMILAR TO THE POINT OF BEING IDENTICAL.

TO THE PROJECT THAT WE HAD APPROVED AT THE INTERSECTION OF DESOTO AND A 1A, ACROSS FROM THE OLD COAST GUARD STATION.

THE REAL OLD COAST GUARD STATION WHICH IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

THAT CONSISTED OF 12 FAMILY STRUCTURE AND TWO SINGLE-FAMILY STRUCTURES. I AM SORRY, I HAVE GOT IT BACK WAS DIRECT DUE TO STRUCTURES AND ONE SINGLE FAMILY STRUCTURE.

SEEM BASIC IDEA AND PRODUCT. PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD, AGAIN THEIR THREE-STORY DESIGN THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE LAYOUT.

WE ARE IN PART, SO WE ALL KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING, WE ARE IN PART LOCATED WITH THE COAST CONTROL LINE.

SO THOSE HOMES THAT ARE CLOSEST TO A 18 WILL COMPLY WITH STATE CCL REQUIREMENTS. THERE WILL BE ELEVATED UP TO MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS EXCEPT BY DEP, AND WE WILL BUILD FROM THERE. THE HOMES THAT ARE CLOSEST TO

[00:10:05]

AGAIN, THIS IS A PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD DEVELOPMENT PLAN. I BELIEVE IT WILL BE A MAJOR ENHANCEMENT, TO THIS PORTION OF THE ISLAND.

WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE PROPERTY LOOKS LIKE AS YOU COME DOWN A ONE A AND YOU LOOK AT IT YOU HAVE A POEM FOR STOCK AND THE EDITION OF THESE HOMES ON THE STREET FRONTAGE RIGHT THERE, WILL BE A NET POSITIVE FOR THE OVERALL COMMUNITY.

IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PLANS OR THE PROPOSALS THAT WE HAVE BEFORE YOU, WE WILL TRY TO ANSWER THEM OTHERWISE OUR APPRECIATE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL FOR THE CITY COMMISSION SO THAT WE CAN COMMENCE CONSTRUCTION.

>> I HAVE ONE QUESTION. >> PLEASE.

>> I NOTICED THAT THE DRY RETENTION POND, IS IN THE SECTION OF THE PROPERTY, THAT THE NEW MAPS SHOW IS ON THE GRANITE RIDGE SO IT IS NOT IN AN AE AREA IT IS IN AN X AREA.

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HYDRAULICS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, I AM WONDERING IS YOUR ENGINEERING FIRM AWARE OF THE FACT THAT THERE IS A GRANITE RIDGE THAT RUNS ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY AND THAT IS AND IT SEEMS TO ENCOMPASS THE AREA WHERE YOUR RETENTION POND IS?

>> WE HAVE DONE, PRELIMINARY GEOTECH TESTS IN THE AREA.

YES, MA'AM WE HAVE DONE PRELIMINARY GEOTECH TESTING IN THE AREA THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED WITH THE FLOODPLAIN IS A ON THE SITE PLAN IS SEA AND THE SCALE ON THE SITE PLAN THERE IS A COPY OF THE FLOODPLAIN LINES. THE ANALYSIS THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IS, WE WILL GET THE PROPER WORK THROUGH THE SOIL.

WE ARE DOING A 100 HERE RETAIN ON-SITE DESIGN.

BECAUSE THERE REALLY IS NO OUTFALL OF THE OTHER THAN EVAPORATION. AND WE ARE NOT GOING HAVE TO DEAL WITHOUT THAT. SO THE BEST ANSWER I CAN GET FOR YOU IS IS EVERY INDICATION THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW FROM ALL THE MOLDING AND THE ANALYSIS THAT WE HAVE DONE IS THAT THE PERK RATES ARE SUFFICIENT TO HANDLE THE 100 YEAR STORM.

AND WE WILL GO FROM THERE. ONE THING TO KNOW, ON THE BASIS OF THIS DESIGN, THESE DRAINAGE SYSTEMS ARE ALL INTERCONNECTED, SO THAT THE PIPING AND IS WILL BE LOOKED TOWARDS THE LARGER OF THESE THREE AREAS THAT YOU SEE. OUT HERE, SO IT WILL NOT BE, IF THE OTHER SMALLER ONES ARE REALLY JUST TRANSIENT STOPS.

WE HAVE DESIGNED IN A MANNER THAT THE DRAINAGE FOR THE EAST SIDE. THEY AT OF THOSE HOMES, FROZE INTO A YARD DRAIN EXFILTRATION LINE.

THAT RUNS ROUGHLY UP AND DOWN THE A1 A RIGHT OF WAY IT IS SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE AND PEAKS THAT WERE ASKED TO GO.

THEN IT WRAPS AROUND IT COMES BACK INTO THE BIG POND.

AND THEN IT WILL PERK OUT IN THAT BIG POND IS LOCATED IN ON YOUR MAP HERE, IT IS IN ZONE AE, AND AGAIN THE PERK INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE FOR THAT AREA IS SUFFICIENT.

>> OKAY. I WAS JUST WAS WONDERING IF YOU ARE AWARE OF THE GRANITE RIDGE, BECAUSE SOME OTHER PROPERTIES HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH DRAI DRAINAGE,.

>> I WILL PASS THAT BACK TO MY DESIGN GUYS, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE FULLY AWARE OF THAT, AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY

LAST-MINUTE SURPRISES. >> THANK YOU.

>> WE ARE OVER THAT WAY. >> A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, THE FIRST ONE THE ROADWAY THAT IS GOING TO BE THROUGH THE CENTER.

WHO IS GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE ROADWAY?

>> WE WILL HAVE A PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION AND THE ASSOCIATION WILL WE BE THE RESPONSIBLE ENTITY MAINTAIN THE

ALLEYWAY. >> ARE YOU ANTICIPATING THAT

ROADWAY TO BE GETTING? >> .

>> WHY NOT? >> WE HADN'T WON TRIPLICATES ON IT. NO PARTICULAR REASON.

>> IT COULD BE AGGREGATED FOR ADDITIONAL PRIVACY AND SECURITY?

>> , IT MIGHT WE COULD LOOK INTO IT, IF THE ASSOCIATION WANTS TO LOOK INTO IT THEY CAN LOOK INTO IT, THERE'S GOING TO BE A COUPLE FUNDAMENTAL DESIGN ISSUES. PRINCIPALLY IN THE SELL SIDE, GIVING CLARENCE FOR CHEWING. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE HAVE NOT SEEN THE PARTICULAR VALUE TO GATING IT OFF.

>> SOME PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO LIVE IN A GATED COMMUNITY SOME

[00:15:12]

LOOKS LIKE LANDSCAPING,. >> THERE WILL BE LANDSCAPING AND THERE WILL BE DENSITY AROUND THE PROPERTY.

IT WILL BE KIND OF A MIX OF THE WAY IT IS CONTEMPLATED RIGHT NOW. EVERY ONE OF THE PROPERTIES WILL HAVE A PRIVACY FENCE AROUND IT AND A SECURITY FENCE FOR THE SIGNPOSTS. EACH ONE OF THESE HOMES THAT YOU SEE HAS A POOL OPTION INTO IT. SO RIGHT THAT WE ARE REQUIRED TO FENCING IN THE REAR. WE WILL HAVE PRIVACY FENCING ALONG THE NORTH AND SOUTH PROPERTY LINES.

AND THE HOMES IN ESSENCE SERVE AS THE DEFENSE AND PERIMETER FOR THE EAST AND THE WEST PROPERTY LINES.

THERE WILL BE SOUND, MINOR GRADE ISSUES ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. WHERE WE ARE GOING TO BE, BECAUSE OF THE WAY WE ARE DOING THE SITE GRADING AND THE FACT THAT WE ARE NOT RUNNING DRIVEWAYS UP TO THAT SIDE OF THE ROW, EVERYTHING COMES INTO THE PROPERTY.

WE ARE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE A FOOT AND A HALF I GRAVITY WALL, ALONGSIDE THE RIGHT OF WAY. SO I GET THAT WILL PROVIDE FOR ADDITIONAL SCREENING AND PRIVACY FOR OUR BUYERS.

>> I AM NOT LOOKING FOR PRIVACY I'M LOOKING FOR SECURITY.

I WOULD THINK VERY MUCH LIKE A GATED COMMUNITY, A SECURITY FENCE AROUND MY AROUND THE TOTAL DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE A SELLING POINT. NOT A DETERRENT BUT ACTUALLY A SELLING POINT. THAT I AM IN A GATED COMMUNITY AND I AM ALSO IN A FENCE COMMUNITY.

SO THE 6-FOOT FENCE OR WHATEVER THE MINIMUM MAXIMUM THAT THE CITY WOULD ALLOW FOR THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT.

TO ME IT IS JUST A SECURITY THING.

>> OUR PERIMETER FENCING IS EXACTLY THAT IT IS A COMBINATION OF AESTHETIC ARCHITECTURAL AESTHETIC LANDSCAPING AESTHETIC INSECURITY. AND TOGETHER THE COMPONENTS

WELCOME TOGETHER. >> YEAH, IS THERE GOING TO BE ANY ALIGHTING ALONG THAT ROAD? THE ANTERIOR ROAD FOR THE BACK.

>> WELL THERE'LL BE PORCH IN COACH LIGHTING FOR EACH ONE OF THE HOMES. THAT MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO LIGHT THE CORRIDOR GIVEN THE DENSITY OF THE HOMES.

WE ARE STILL CONTEMPLATING AND STILL EVALUATING FULL OR WHETHER OR NOT WOULD POP IN HIS SECURITY LIGHT OR DECORATIVE STREETLIGHT OR TWO. WE DO HAVE ISSUES TO BE CONCERNED OF, AS WE ARE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROJECT, BECAUSE WE HAVE SEA TURTLE LIGHTING ISSUES TO MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT VIOLATED. SO ANYTHING THAT WE PUT IN HERE OF COURSE WILL BE COMPLIANT WITH THOSE SEA TURTLES.

AGAIN THE ROAD AND THE ALLEYWAY IS ALL WITHIN THAT CCL AREA.

SO WE HAVE TO BE COGNIZANT OF HOW WE SHOOT LIGHTS DOWN AS

OPPOSED TO OUT. >> RIGHT, HERE AGAIN ANOTHER SECURITY THING THAT I AM THINKING OF.

I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS THANK YOU.

THANK YOU MR. MURPHY. >> NO PROBLEM.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. MURPHY BY THE BOARD?

>> I KNOW THIS IS NOT COMING IN FOR A CONDITIONAL USE, FOR HEIGHTS, WHAT IS THE FINISH TYPE?

>> 35 FEET GIVE OR TAKE A LITTLE BIT.

WE ARE UNDER CODE REQUIREMENTS. >> THE 38 AND THE CONDITIONS.

>> ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU MR. MURPHY.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

>> ANYONE ELSE IS SPEAKING TO THIS PROJECT PLEASE STEP FORWARD. NOT SEEING ANYONE I WILL CLOSE

THE,. >> I WERE TO FIGHT CANCER.

>> CERTAINLY. >> I AM PHIL THOMPSON I AM A DEVELOPER AND THE OWNER OF THE PROJECT.

MY SON IS A PARTNER AS IS MY WIFE.

WE LIVE A FEW BLOCKS AWAY FROM THE DEVELOPMENT.

AND I ALSO LIVE A FEW BLOCKS AWAY FROM THE OTHER DEVELOPMENT WE ARE BUILDING ON DE SOTO STREET, AND WE ARE PART OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE THINK THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT, I THINK IT'LL ADD TO INTRINSIC VALUE TO THE PROPERTY I THINK THE NEIGHBORS ARE HAPPY ABOUT IT, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO BUILDING THIS GREAT PROJECT. SO PEOPLE COME DOWN A1 A AND EVERYBODY IS HAPPY AND EVERYBODY SEES A GREAT JOB GOING UP.

WE ARE NOT ACTING A MILLION HOUSES IN THERE, IT IS MOSTLY DETACHED HOUSING FOR THE MOST PART.

WE WILL BRING GOOD-QUALITY PEOPLE AND WILL BUILD A GOOD QUALITY PROJECT. AND EVERYTHING WILL BE A LITTLE HIGHER RENT, AND I THINK IT'LL BE A GREAT ENHANCEMENT WHICH WE LOVE SO MUCH. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> QUICK QUESTION IN THIS IS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR PLAN APPROVAL HAVE YOU JUST DETERMINE A PRICE PERMIT ON THE UNIT CHECK?

>> YES, WE HAVE A PRICE RANGE. ROUGHLY THE HOMES ON THE BEACH,.

>> [LAUGHTER]

>> I DO NEED YOU TO REMEMBER, THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION HAS GONE UP 30%. EVEN MY HOUSES ON DE SOTO STREET I AM UP 30% OF MY COST OF THAT. BUT I AM STILL MAINTAIN THE QUALITY, I HAVE NOT JOB ANY QUALITY ON DE SOTO, AND I DON'T

[00:20:03]

EVERYTHING WILL BE TOP NOTCH EVERYTHING WILL BE TOP-OF-THE-LINE, WHEN YOU DRIVE DOWN YOU SEE THE JOB IT WILL BE

TOP-OF-THE-LINE PROJECTS. >> HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THE COST DOWN, AND I CAN PASS IT ON THE CONSUMER.

>> TODAY IT IS TOUGH. I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE BUILDING

TODAY. >> IT IS VERY DIFFICULT, BUT IT IS WHAT I DO FOR LIVING, SO I AM HERE TO STAY.

AND I WILL FINISH WHATEVER I NEED TO FINISH, AND WHATEVER CAUSE A CAUSE. AND IT WILL BE DONE PROPERLY

100%. >> WE APPRECIATE THAT.

>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> ANYONE ELSE SPEAKING? NOT SEEING ANYONE I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE MEETING AND COME BACK TO THE BOARD ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION WITH MR. GILMORE?

>> WERE THERE ANY WAS THE WORD I AM LOOKING FOR ANY STIPULATED ITEMS THAT YOU NEED TO GO WITHOUT APPROVAL HERE?

>> NO. >> GOOD.

>> ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY, I ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

>> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION BY MR. RODRICK BY A SECOND BY MS. BAKER CALLED A ROW PLEASE.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I DON'T THINK MR. BRODERICK MEANT TO PUT

YOU ON THE SPOT LIKE THAT. >> BOOM WE GET THE FINAL COST WE

WILL ADDRESS THAT ISSUE. >> IT'LL BE ON A SIGN OUT THERE

I'M SURE. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH I

APPRECIATE IT. >> THANK YOU.

>> AND I HAVE GOT TO STOP HERE FOR A MOMENT, AND JUST TAKE CARE OF SOME HOUSEKEEPING. THAT I JUST BEEN INVITED TO.

I AM APOLOGIZING TO YOU AND I AM EMBARRASSED.

WE HAVE MR. KEVIN FREEMAN WITH US TODAY.

AND HE IS OUR NEW PLANNING DIRECTOR, AND I, I LOOK FOR GOOD THINGS FROM YOU. AND I AM SURE YOU ARE GOING TO

DELIVER. >> I CERTAINLY HOPE SO.

>> I AM LOOKING FOR LONGEVITY OUT OF THIS ONE.

>> SO AM I. >> EVERYBODY IN THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, PLEASE DON'T BE DON'T BE KEVIN UP TOO BADLY WE NEEDED TO STICK AROUND FOR A WHILE.

>> THEY HAVE A GOOD TO BE SO FAR.

>> ALL RIGHT, THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO TAKE YOU OUT TO LUNCH EVERY DAY. THAT IS WHAT I HERE? AND ONCE A QUARTER THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE A GATHERING AT A LOCAL JUST LOOK FORWARD TO THAT. AND IF YOU DO NOT GET IT, JUST

REMIND THEM. >> SEND A BOAT TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD. [LAUGHTER]

>> ALL RIGHT, I APOLOGIZE, I BELIEVE YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO MOST EVERYBODY ON THE BOARD MS. CLEMENTS CAME IN A LITTLE LATE FOR THAT, BUT WE WILL GET TO SPEAK.

[b. Major Amendment to Site Plan - Jetson - 4145 S. US Highway 1]

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> OKAY, BACK TO THE AGENDA, NEW BUSINESS, ITEM B, MAJOR AMENDMENT TO SITE PLAN FOR JETSON 4145 SOUTH U.S. HIGHWAY ONE.

AND WE HAVE SEEN THIS ITEM BEFORE A FEW TIMES, THERE HAS BEEN A MINOR CHANGE, AND THAT IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

I WE HAVING A GUY CHANGER? >> YES.

>> I AM NOT PREPARED FOR THAT. >> WE HAVE ANOTHER INTRODUCTION.

>> YEAH WELL SOMEBODY'S GOING TO DO THIS FOR ME, BECAUSE I AM SORRY IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE YOU HAVE BEEN WITH US, I MISPLACED YOUR NAME IN MY MEMORY BANK.

>> THAT'S OKAY. I AM RYAN ALTIZER I AM A PLANNER HIT WITH THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE MY FIRST TIME IN FRONT OF YOU

ALSO PLEASE GO EASY ON ME. >> FIRST TIME?

>> I WOULD DREAM UP SOME QUESTIONS RIGHT HERE.

[LAUGHTER] >> LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GET

THROUGH. >> OKAY WELL THANK YOU PLANNING BOARD, AND TO THE PLANNING CHAIRMAN FOR BEING HERE TODAY, I AM PRESENTING TO YOU THE MAJOR AMENDMENT TO A SITE PLAN DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN REVIEW FOR JENSEN TV AND APPLIANCES 4145 SOUTH U.S. HIGHWAY ONE. THIS IS THE LOCATION OF JENSEN IT IS APPROXIMATELY 7 ACRES OR 7.42 ACRES, THE FUTURE LAND USE IS FOR GENERAL COMMERCIAL, AND THE ZONING OF IT IS ALSO GENERAL COMMERCIAL ZONING. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL SITE PLAN THAT THE CITY COMMISSION APPROVED OF, AS WELL AS THE PLANNING BOARD WHEN THIS CAME BEFORE YOU ALL.

THIS IS THE AMENDED SITE PLAN BASICALLY, THERE ARE THREE MAJOR CHANGES, THEY ARE CHANGING THE SITE OF THE WAREHOUSE FROM

[00:25:05]

THEY HAD THREE BUT NOW THERE ARE FOUR, YOU CAN SEE THE ARROW RIGHT AROUND HERE. DUE TO THE CHANGE, THEY ARE MOVING ONE OF THE ACCESS STREETS.

THEY ARE DOING AWAY WITH THAT, AND THERE IS GOING TO BE AN ACCESS KNOW IN THE REAR END. HERE ARE THE ELEVATIONS FOR THE PROPOSED WAREHOUSE, AND THE STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS WITH FOUR CONDITIONS A COMPLETION CERTIFICATION BY A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT. PURSUANT TO CITY CODE, 1236 SHALL BE REQUIRED BEFORE THE FINAL CERTIFICATION OF OCCUPANCY AS A PROOF OF THE SITE. WE ASK THAT THE BICYCLE PARKING SHALL BE PROVIDED AT A RATIO ONE SPACE PER EVERY TEN PARKING SPACES. WE HAVE ASKED THAT THEY PROVIDE A TURN WHEN SHOWING HOW TRUCKS WILL BACK INTO THE NEW LOADING BAY, AND THEN LASTLY THE UNITY OF TITLE AT THE SAME AT THE COUNTY CLERK OF COURTS IN THE PARTIAL WITH THE ST. LUCIE PROPERTY APPRAISER, TO BE CONDUCTED BEFORE THE ISSUANCE OF THE BUILDING PERMIT. BECAUSE ONE OF THE PARCELS WAS ANNEXED INTO THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE.

SO THAT THEY COULD MAKE THIS CHANGE.

AND AT THE WAREHOUSE. THE POSSIBLE ACTIONS OF THE PLANNING BOARD ARE RECOMMEND APPROVAL, WITH THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN AND DESIGN REVIEW WITH NO CHANGES COME WITH THE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED SITE CHANGE IN REVIEW WITH CHANGES, AND THEN A RECOMMENDATION OF DISCIPLINES OF THE PROPOSAL SITE PLAN AND REVIEW.

THANK YOU WILL. >> HAS I RECALL WHEN THIS FIRST CAME TO US. THERE WAS DISCUSSION CONCERNING THE INGRESS AND EGRESS IN THE DRIVEWAY.

AND, IT WAS GOING TO SHIFT A LITTLE BIT AT THAT TIME.

AND WITH THE CHANGES THAT WE HAVE GOT NOW, THAT OLD

DISCUSSION IS MUTE. >> I WOULD THINK SO YES, SIR.

>> OKAY. >> IT IS A PRETTY GOOD

IMPROVEMENT ACTUALLY. >> IT ACTUALLY IS, I AM NOT MUCH HAPPENING THERE PERSONALLY WITH THE DRIVEWAY THE WAY IT IS TODAY. OPEN FOR DISCUSSION FROM THE

BOARD. >> YES, I HAVE A QUESTION CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE NEXT SLIDE THE ONE AFTER THIS.

I GUESS IT WAS IN THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

WHAT IS, AND THIS WAS NOT IN THE ORIGINAL APPLICATION WHAT ISN'T ALL THE RETURN MOVEMENT OUT SHOWING HOW TRUCKS WILL BACK INTO THE LOADING BAY CAN YOU GIVE ME DETAIL ON THAT?

>> THIS WAS A COMMENT BY THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AND I THINK IT IS PRETTY MUCH TO SHOW HOW THESE TRUCKS RIGHT HERE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO BACK OUT AND ACCESS THE DRIVEWAY THAT IS HERE

TO GET ONTO THE STREET. >> THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE PROVED BY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT OR IS THAT YOU WHAT

IS THAT? >> I WOULD SAY IT WILL BE

THROUGH ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT. >> THEY HAVE TO SIGN OFF ON THAT PRIOR TO THIS GOING TO THE BILLING DEPARTMENT.

>> YES OR. >> THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> NOT HEARING ANYTHING I WILL LOOK AT THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE MEETING IF THE APPLICANT WOULD STEP FORWARD PLEASE. GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIRMAN AND BOARD, I AM ON BEHALF OF JENSEN TV AND APPLIANCE TAKING THIS MAJOR AMENDMENT TO THE SITE PLAN.

I THINK MR. WALK THROUGH THE BUILDING, BUT WE ARE OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS THAT THEY MAY HAVE.

A QUICK LITTLE BACK STORY IS, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE RIGHT YOU GET CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL, THE EPIPHANY ON THE CLIENT SITE ABOUT HOW THEY WANT TO FUNCTION IN THE FACILITY.

SO THE KEY DRIVING FACT IT WAS THE REORIENTATION OF THE LOADING BASE ALLOWING THEM TO HAVE A UNIFIED OPERATIONAL STANDPOINT.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN THE VICINITY OF THAT FACILITY THEY HAVE AT PEAK TIME WHERE THEY HAVE A LOT OF VEHICLES IN-AND-OUT, AND THIS ALLOWS THEM TO HAVE A LOT OF VEHICLES THE LOADING BAYS THAT ADDED A LONG TERM.

THAT IS WHERE THE LARGE SUPPLIER LG OR SAMSUNG WOULD COME IN-AND-OUT THESE VEHICLES FOR ALL DAY UP TO TWO DAYS.

AND THEN REASONABLY SMALLER VEHICLES THE ONES THAT WOULD MAKE DELIVERIES WITH FUNCTION OUT OF THAT CONSISTENTLY.

IN DOING SO ALLOWS US TO REMOVE THAT ACCESS ROAD.

YOU HAD MENTIONED BEFORE IT CLEARS UP ANOTHER ACCESS AND ALLOWS US TO COME OFF OF THAT AND WE WERE PLAYING WITH KEEPING AND ALLOWS US TO BASICALLY SO OF COURSE YOU GAIN A LITTLE BIT OF SQUARE FOOTAGE, THEY ARE ACTUALLY COMING BACK OFF OF THE PUSHING OF THE EXISTING WAREHOUSE WILL BETWEEN THE BACK 2100 SQUARE FEET. IT IS A NET REDUCTION PER SQUARE FOOT IS WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED.

[00:30:02]

IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER

WHAT YOU MAY HAVE. >> QUESTIONS FROM THE APPLICANT?

>> I THINK THE FLOW OF THIS IS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL PLAN SO I THINK THE EPIPHANY WAS, WELL TIME.

I THINK THE SITE WORKS BETTER AND ACCESS IS BETTER.

YES, I THINK IT IS A GOOD CHANGE.

>> THANK YOU. >> ANYTHING ELSE? I TEND TO AGREE. I'D LIKE IT, I THINK THAT MOST EVERYBODY IN FORT PIERCE, IS FAMILIAR WITH THIS SITE.

MANY OF THIS IS PROBABLY SPENT HARD EARNED DOLLARS A.

AND I WOULD HOPE THAT WE CONTINUE TO DO THAT AND KEEP JETSONS HAPPY, AND HEALTHY. FOR THIS CITY OF FORT PIERCE

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU.

>> IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE PUBLIC SPEAKING? NOT SEEING ANYONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE MEETING AND COME BACK TO THE BOARD ANY FURTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? NOT SEEING ANY OR HEARING ANY, I

WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION. >> I MOVE APPROVAL WITH THE

CONDITIONS. >> SECOND.

>> WE HAVE AN APPROVAL BY MS. BAKER, AND SECOND BY MS. CLEMENS CALL THE ROLE PL PLEASE.

FIRST PRESENTATION UNSCATHED. >> I WAS LOOKING FOR SOME TOUGH QUESTIONS BUT THEY NEVER CAME. [LAUGHTER]

>> IT WILL COME EVENTUALLY. >> OUR NEXT ITEM OF BUSINESS IS

[c. Preliminary Plat - The Oaks at Moore's Creek - 1206 Avenue B (Lot 1) and Lots 1-10 and 16-24, South of Moore’s Creek and North of Avenue B]

AVENUE B. >> GOOD AFTERNOON PLANNING CHAIRMAN AND BOARD MEMBERS, BEFORE YOU WE HAVE A PLENARY PLAT, FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY LOCATED AT WITH CHAIRMAN CAP MILLER SAID. [LAUGHTER] BEFORE YOU WE HAVE THE AREA MAP.

THE CURRENT FEATURE OF LAND USE IS RESIDENTIAL MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, THE CURRENT ZONING IS FOR WHICH IS MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL, THE PRELIMINARY PLAT MEETS THE CRITERIA AS SPECIFIED IN CHAPTER 125 CODE ORDINANCES AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL, STAFF RECOMMENDS THE PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDS FORWARD A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COMMISSION. SUBJECT TO ONE CONDITION OF APPROVAL PRIOR TO THE SUBMITTAL OF THE FINAL PLAT THE APPLICANT SHALL ADDRESS ALL CITY OF FORT PIERCE ENGINEERING COMMENTS, ON THE PLAT. THANK YOU.

>> MR. GILMORE, WHICH YOU GIVE US A LITTLE HISTORY ON THIS

PARCEL PROPERTY? >> YES, SO THIS IS THE SECOND PHASE OF A CITY INITIATED PROJECT TO PROVIDE WORK FOR HOUSING IN THE COMMUNITY. THE FIRST PHASE WAS THE SINGLE-FAMILY OATHS TO THE REST OF THIS ALONG NORTH 13TH STREET. THIS IS THE SECOND PHASE THAT THE CITY IS WORKING WITH A DEVELOPER.

TO ADD EVEN MORE WORKFORCE HOUSING.

>> THANK YOU, ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. GILMORE?

>> ARE THESE THE SAME HOMES THAT WAS PRESENTED WHEN THEY HELPED COMMUNITY OUTREACH ON D AND 29TH?

I FORGOT THE BUILDING NAME. >> I AM NOT SURE I WAS NOT

THERE. >> I SEE AUBREY OVER HERE GIVES

US A NOD OF YES. >> SO THEY ARE NOT GOING TO LOOK SIMILAR BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THE HOMES THAT WERE PRESENTED WAS

DIFFERENT DESIGN. >> DIFFERENT THAN THE ORIGINAL ONES, YES THEY ARE GOING TO BE DIFFERENT.

>> OKAY. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

[00:35:03]

COMMENTS? >> I JUST THINK IT IS AN

EXCELLENT UNDERTAKING. >> I DO TOO.

>> WILL GET THIS MOVE TOO QUICKLY.

>> I WILL OPEN TO THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE MEETING AND I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE GOT A DEVELOPER?

>> GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIRMAN AND BOARD MEMBERS MY NAME IS CORY, I AM FAR EAST AND WEST DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION A NONPROFIT PARTNER IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROJECT.

AND, I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AS YOU ALL KNOW, THIS DOES HAVE SOME HISTORY IN THE COMMUNITY.

THERE IS SOLICITATION BACK IN 2015, ACTUALLY WE WERE PART OF IT AT A TIME. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD AT THE TIME, AND THE SOLICITATION WENT BACK OUT THROUGH THE FORT PIERCE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, MORE RECENTLY, AND WE WEREN'T SMART ENOUGH TO WAIT UNTIL THE CONSTRUCTION COST STARTED TO INCREASE BEFORE WE GOT TO A POINT OF ACTUALLY CONSTRUCTING. SO WE ARE THANKFUL THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH THE FORT PIERCE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND THE CITY. WHO IS UNDERTAKING THE DESIGN OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE, AND WE ARE WORKING ON THAT PLAT.

AT ONCE THAT PLAT IS APPROVED AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS BUILT, THE NONPROFIT, AND DEPARTMENT WILL BUILD THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS NOW OF REACHING OUT TO THE EMPLOYERS IN THE AREA.

AND ONCE HOPEFULLY, HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE STARTED, WE WILL HAVE ENOUGH PREQUALIFIED BUYERS, THAT WE CAN BUILD ALL OF THE HOMES. HOPEFULLY WITHIN A LOGICAL SEQUENCE, TO TRY TO GET THEM ALL DONE WITHIN EIGHT YEARS.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THE PLAT TODAY AND ONCE AGAIN WE ARE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

AND WE WOULD LIKE TO PUBLICLY THANK AUDREY FOR ALL OF OUR HELP, AND TO CONTINUE TO HELP THAT SHE GIVES US AS WE WORK

THROUGH THE PROCESS. >> THANK YOU.

QUESTIONS? >> YES ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE

APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS? >> I DON'T BELIEVE WE WILL MAN, MA'AM, WE WILL BE REACHING OUT TO LOCAL CONTRACTORS I DON'T TO GET THE BIG A PROJECT TO HAVE APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS. SOME OF OUR CONTRACTORS, IT MAY HAVE SOME AS PART OF THE

STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES. >> OTHER QUESTIONS? NOT SEEING ANY, AUDREY, WOULD YOU MIND COMING UP? AND TELLING US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS PROJECT FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE CITY? AND WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF WE HAVE ANY PLANS FOR FUTURE PROJECTS SIMILAR TO THIS, OR PROJECTS THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE HOUSING FOR FIRST RESPONDERS, SCHOOLTEACHERS AND SUCH.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON, AUDREY WELLS, I AM THE SPECIAL PROJECTS COORDINATOR AND THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT WORKING WITH THIS DEVELOPER IN PROVIDING THESE HOMES FOR OUR COMMUNITY. IT IS GOING TO INCREASE HOUSING STOCK WHICH IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO DOING. AS A PART OF THE PLANT AND A PART OF THE VISION. BECAUSE WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE OF OUR RESIDENTS OWNING HOMES RATHER THAN RENTING.

RIGHT NOW THIS PROPERTY IS OWNED BY THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE WE ARE VIGOROUSLY AND A BASICALLY IN OUR PLAN TO DO OUR INFILL RESIDENTIAL AND FEEL. WE HAVE SEVERAL PROPERTIES WITHIN THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE, AND WE RECENTLY WENT TO BED AND WENT OUT TO BID ON A GROUP OF THOSE.

AND WE ARE GOING TO BE GOING BACK, TO DO THAT, SO WE CAN TRY TO GET SOME DEVELOPERS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN BUILDING WORKFORCE AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR RESIDENTS.

AS IT RELATES TO THE CITY EMBARKING ON THE PROJECT OF THIS NATURE. I DO NOT THINK WE HAVE I'M NOT CERTAIN THAT WE HAVE ANOTHER LARGE PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT IS EITHER OWNED BY THE CITY OR OWNED BY THE F PRA IN ORDER TO DO THINGS LIKE THIS. SO THIS TYPE OF A PROJECT, OF THIS MAGNITUDE, IS WHERE, AND WE EXCITED THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THIS IS GOING TO ACTUALLY COME TO FRUITION.

IN ADDITION, THE FIRST PHASE ACTUALLY INCLUDES HOMES THAT ARE WRONG 13TH STREET AND ALONG 12 STREET, SO THESE HOMES WILL BE NESTED RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THAT FIRST PHASE OF HOPES AT MORRIS CREEK. SO THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, AND WE WILL LOOK FORWARD TO MOVING AHEAD.

>> THIS IS EXCITING. VERY GOOD I AM GLAD TO SEE THIS.

[00:40:01]

I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE MEETING.

QUESTIONS FOR MR. GILMORE? DOES ANYBODY WANT TO DONATE TO

THIS EFFORT? >> THAT WOULD BE NICE.

>> AND THE TIMING YOU WILL WRITE YOUR TIMING IS SPOT ON.
