ACTUALLY A LEGISLATIVE HEARING. THAT'S AN ORDINANCE BY THE CITY COMMISSION AND THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE, FLORIDA AMENDING THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP TO CHANGE THE DESIGNATION OF A PORTION OF ONE PARCEL GENERALRY LOCATED AT OR NEAR, 1602 SOUTH 30TH STREET FROM THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE, RL LOW DENSITY COMMERCIAL, AND TO GENERAL COMMERCIAL. PRYOVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE, THIS IS

[00:45:02]

THE FIRST READING. >> BEFORE YOU YOU HAVE A FUTURE LAND USE AMENDMENT FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AT 1602, SOUTH 30TH STREET. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE CHANGE AND THE ASSOCIATED ZONING AMENDMENT IS TO CON FORM THE USE OF A SMALL PORTION, APPROXIMATELY 0.16 ACRES, ONE PARCEL. UTILIZED BY THE HASLEY FUNERAL HOME AS A PART OF THE SAME BUSINESS. THE LOT CURRENTLY HAS A LOW DENSITY, RESIDENTIAL LAND USE AND AN R-3 ZONING BOTH OF WHICH ARE STRICT COMMERCIAL USES. THE LARGER PART OF THE PROPERTY IS UTILIZED BY THE BUSINESS CURRENTLY HAS THE GC, GENERAL COMMERCIAL, FUTURE LAND, AND THE ZONING OF C-3. THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. AS YOU COULD SEE, THE YELLOW LINE, BASICALLY, SHOWS YOU THE DESIGNATION OF THE ENTIRELY PARCEL. BUT, THIS PART OF THE PARCEL HAS A RESIDENTIAL ZONING.

AND THIS IS AN ELEVATION, STREET VIEW OF THE PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE AMENDMENT. THERE'S A FUTURE LAND USE MAP OF THE SURROUNDING AREA. AND THIS IS THE MAP CHANGE TO THE GENERAL COMMERCIAL. I HAVE BEFORE YOU A FUTURE LAND USE COMPARISON.

WITH THIS CHANGE, THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF AN INCREASE OF TWO DWELLING UNITS AND ALSO, AN INCREASE OF APPROXIMATELY 6,969-SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL SPACE. AND ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS JUST A POTENTIAL, BUT, THIS IS NOT EXACTLY WHAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING. PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST. STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL BASED ON AND IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY CODE SECTION 125-136 OF THE CITY CODE IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND IT DOES NOT HURT THE SAFETY AND CONVENIENCE OF THE GENERAL WELFARE. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION IS THE DISAPPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED

AMENDMENT. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR HUDSON: QUESTIONS OF STAFF? YES, SIR, COMMISSIONER GAINES?

>> DO WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING THERE?

>> I BELIEVE A PET, UM, CREMATORIUM, OR, FUNERAL HOME.

>> IT'S ALREADY THERE? >> YEAH, IT'S ALREADY THERE.

>> OKAY, I WAS JUST CURIOUS. >> MAYOR HUDSON: ANY OTHER

QUESTIONS OF STAFF? >> TECHNICAL QUESTION, AND MAYBE I MIXED THIS IN THE MIX SOMEWHERE, BUT, THIS IS ONE LOT?

>> YES. >> AND THE ZONING CUTS RIGHT

THROUGH THE LOT? >> YES.

>> THAT'S A LITTLE UNUSUAL. >> YES.

>> THIS KIND OF CLEANS UP A PROBLEM?

>> MAYOR HUDSON: ALL RIGHT. DOING SOMETHING RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF? OKAY, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, ANYONE WISHING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME, AND, UM... COME TO THE MIC FOR ME, PLEASE, SIR.

>> HOW ARE YOU TODAY? MY NAME'S ROBERT HERNANDEZ AND I LIVE RIGHT NEXT TO THE PARCEL THAT HE'S TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, CHANGE INTO COMMERCIAL. I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO THERE. THEY USE IT FOR PARKING, SO, UM, THEIR FUNERAL HOME, THEY GET A LOT OF PEOPLE, AND SOMETIMES IT COULD BE A LITTLE OVERWHELMING. I HAD ISSUES WITH THE OWNER OF THE FUNERAL HOME, UM, I TRIED TO TALK TO HIM, A FEW TIMES, AND HE WAS A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON THERE, AND WHAT THEY'RE PLANNING TO DO THERE, BECAUSE, THEY HAVE BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS IN THE PAST. IT'S BEEN CALM, BUT, I GUESS THE STAFF WHO WERE KIND OF RUDE, THEY'RE NOT THERE ANY MORE, AND THAT'S A GOOD THING. BUT, I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE CHANGE, YO KNOW, BECAUSE, UM, LIKE, I'M RIGHT NEXT DOOR, YOU KNOW?

>> MAYOR HUDSON: THANK YOU, VERY MUCH, SIR, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. ALL RIGHT. ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE PLEASE COME FORWARD, ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE? OKAY. I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS, UM, AND,

[00:50:05]

MR. GILMORE, CAN YOU ENLIGHTEN ABOUT ANYTHING MORE THAT'S GOING

ON THERE? >> SO, WE HAVE HAD A PUBLIC CONCERN WHICH MORE SO PERTAINS TO THE ZONING IN OUR CITY CODE 123-37, AND I THINK IT'S NINE, I BELIEVE, IT STATES THAT IF YOU'RE A COMMERCIAL ZONING AND YOU APPLY FOR RESIDENTIAL, THERE HAS TO BE A LANDSCAPE BUFFER. THE APPLICANT AGREED TO DO THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER. AND I WAS GOING TO MENTION THAT IN THE

NEXT SLIDE. AND. >> MAYOR HUDSON: AND I THINK THAT I SEE THE APPLICANT HERE, AND I HAD A PUBLIC HEARING, ARE I'M GOING TO REOPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, THEN, AND PLEASE COME

AND WE WELCOME YOU. >> THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO BE HERE THIS EVENING, QUINN HAZILY WHEELER.

>> RICHARD HAZILY. >> IN REGARDS TO THE CONCERNS OF OUR NEIGHBOR TO THE SOUTH OF OUR PROPERTY, WE HAVE HAD SOME ISSUES IN THE PAST, AS YOU KNOW, WE'RE A FUNERAL HOME, WE DO SERVICE THIS COMMUNITY AND SOMETIMES HAVE LARGE SERVICES AT OUR PROPERTY, CURRENTLY THAT AREA IS USED AS AN OVERFLOW PARKING LOT. IT HAS BEEN THAT WAY SINCE WE PURCHASED THE PROPERTY IN 2011 WE OPENED A PET CREMATORIUM WHICH IS ON THAT PROPERTY AS WELL. SO, THAT PARKING LOT ALSO SERVES AS PART OF THE PARKING FOR THAT FACILITY. THERE WAS A HICCUP WHEN THIS WAS REZONED, THIS GOES BACK TO PROBABLY 2009-2010, IT WAS WHEN WE FIRST ESTABLISHED THE PET CREMATORIUM, AND FOR SOME REASON, THIS SMALL SLIVER OF PROPERTY WAS NOT ZONED PROPERLY, AND WE WANT TO MAKE IT RIGHT FOR FUTURE USE OF THE PROPERTY. WE'RE NOT BUILDING ANYTHING ON THE PARKING, IT'S GOING TO BE USED FOR PARKING FOR THE PET FACILITY. AND AS I SAID, WE WILL BE PUTTING IN A BUFFER THERE TO PROTECT OUR NEIGHBOR TO THE SOUTH FROM SEEING OR HEARING ANYTHING, AND SO FAORTH. WE WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING TO PROTECT HIM AND HIS FAMILY FROM THE CARS IN THE PARKING LOT.

>> MAYOR HUDSON: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> SHE SAID IT WAS ALREADY THERE, AND IT'S GOING TO BE PARKING. SO, NO NEW CONSTRUCTION OR BUILDING?

>> NOT ON THAT PARCEL, NO, SIR. >> RIGHT. GOT YOU.

[01:00:35]

RESEARCH ROAD. THE APPLICANT IS. THE PROPERTY IS AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF PRUITT RESEARCH ROAD AND SOUTH KINGS HIGHWAY. AS I PREVIOUSLY STATED, THE CURRENT FUTURE LAND USE IS RM RESIDENTIAL MEDIUM DENSITY. THE PROPOSE FUTURE LAND IS GC, GENERAL COMMERCIAL AND YOU'LL ALSO SEE A PROPOSED ZONING FOR THE NEXT ORDINANCE. WE DID A FUTURE LAND USE COMPARISON AND ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A PROBABILITY IT HAVE WHAT THEY COULD HAVE, WHAT COULD BE AN INCREASE OF 59 RESIDENTIAL UNITS, AND, UP TO POSSIBLY, 8,500,000, MORE OR LESS, SQUARE FEET, OF COMMERCIAL SPACE. PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT 5-1.

THE FUTURE LAND USE CHANGE FROM THE ONE PARCEL FROM RM TO GC, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST.

>> MAYOR HUDSON: QUESTIONS OF STAFF? ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF? THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, ANYONE WISHING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE,

PLEASE COME FORWARD. WELCOME. >> MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS, FOR THE RECORD I'M LEE DOBENS, WITH THE DB LAW FIRM AND I HAVE WITH ME SUSAN O'ROURKE, AND UNFORTUNATELY, OUR LAND PLANNER, BRIAN NOLAN IS ON VACATION, SO, I'M FILLING IN FOR HIM. I DON'T HAVE A PRESENTATION TONIGHT. THIS IS A LAND USE AMENDMENT, A ZONING CHANGE THAT ARE FAIRLY STRAIGHT-FORWARD, BUT, I HAVE MY CLIENT, LOGAN HUNTLY HERE, AND THIS PROJECT IS FOR THE EXPANSION OF A FAMILY BUSINESS. AND LOGAN AND HIS FATHER, WARD, RUN THAT BUSINESS THEIR FAMILY BUSINESS IS INSTALLING AND MAINTAINING THERMO KING COOLING UNITS. WHAT THE HUNHUNTLY'S, W TO DO IS BUILD A FACILITY ON KING'S HIGHWAY, HAVE FACILITIES AROUND FLORIDA. THEY REFRIDGE RATED, TRACTOR TRAILER STARTS TO LOSE REFRIGERATION, THE TRUCK CAN PULL INTO A FACILITY TO GET THE UNIT SERVICED. AND THEY HAVE CREWS ON THE ROAD TO FACILITATE. THE HUNTLY'S, CURRENTLY HAVE A FACILITY HERE BUT THIS WOULD BE A NEW, BETTER, EXPANDED FACILITY. WHAT THEY DO IS REALLY A PERFECT FIT FOR THE KINGS'S HIGHWAY CORRIDOR, AND THE EDC HELPED THEM TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL SITES THERE.

UNFORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NOT A SHOVEL-READY PROPERTY AVAILABLE ON KING'S HIGHWAY, THAT FIT THEIR NEEDS SO THEY LOOKED AT A FEW DIFFERENT PROPERTIES AND ULTIMATELY BOUGHT THIS SITE WHICH IS ABOUT 19 ACRES. BUT, THE SITE'S BIGGER THAN WHAT THEY NEED FOR THEIR BUSINESS, SO, OUR LAND PLANNER, BRIAN NOLAN HELPED THEM DESIGN THE SITE THAT YOU SEE IN THE MATERIALS, WHICH

[01:05:02]

PROVIDES FOR THREE LOTS. SO, ONE OF THE THREE LOTS WOULD BE FOR THE THERMO KING FACILITY AND THERE ARE THREE OTHER LOTS THAT CAN BE SOLD TO OTHER BUSINESSES AND THE SITE INCLUDES A ROAD TRACT AND DRAINAGE TRACT THAT WOULD BE USED FOR THE ENTIRE SITE. SO, BASICALLY, THE APPROVAL WOULD PROVIDE FOR THEIR SITE AND TWO OTHER SHOVEL-READY SITES WHERE TWO OTHER BUSINESSES CAN GO INTO THAT PROPERTY. SO, THAT'S KIND OF THE BIG PICTURE HERE. AS STAFF INDICATED, THIS IS, FIRST READING ON THE FUTURE LAND USE AMENDMENT AND THE ZONING CHANGE. AND THEN, WE WOULD COME BACK TO YOU IN A FEW WEEKS FOR THE SECOND READING AND AT THAT TIME, WE WOULD COME FORWARD WITH THE PLAT AS WELL SUBDIVIDING THE THREE LOTS. THAT'S BASICALLY IT. WE'RE JUST HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR US.

THE PARKING WILL INCLUDE 18 SPACES WITH ONE OF THOSE TWO PARKING SPACES BEING HANDY CAPPED ACCESSIBLE. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL LANDSCAPE PLAN

[01:10:02]

FOR THE THERMO KING THAT THE APPLICANT SUBMITTED. DURING THE PLANNING BOARD MEETING THERE WAS SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE WESTERN PROPERTY LINE, WHICH ABUTS A CURRENT RESIDENTIAL ZONING IN A PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT HASN'T BEEN APPROVED YET.

THE APPLICANT HAS SINCE SUBMITTED A REVISED LANDSCAPE PLAN WITH ENHANCED LANDSCAPING AND THEY HAVE MET THE SUBJECT COAT SECTION 123-37 SUBSECTION 9. SOME OF THE PLANTINGS THAT THEY PLAN TO INSTALL FOR LOT 1, TREES INCLUDE THREE RED MAPLE, 15 HOLLY, FOUR SOUTHERN MAGNOLIA, AND 44 SOUTHERN LIVE OAK, FOR PALMS, TWO FLORIDA OR CUBAN ROYAL PALMS, 54 PALMETTOS AND 577 COCOA PLUM AND 17 SIMPSON STOPPER AND 22 OLEANDER.

AND, HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF THE HEDGE THAT WAS ADDED WHICH IS THE SMALL LEAF HEDGE. THIS IS THE LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR LOTS ONE AND TWO WHICH IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WHEN THE SITE PLAN IS SUBMITTED. AND THIS IS THE LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR THE STORM WATER TRACT WHICH IS ALSO A BUFFER FOR THE RESIDENTIAL TO THE EAST AND TO THE SOUTH. THIS IS A TYPICAL RENDERING OF A THERMO KING FACILITY. AND PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT 5-1, NOTING THE 10 RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS.

[01:15:03]

DIRECTIONS? THREE FEET IS VERTICAL HEIGHT, SEPARATION,

WHICH DIRECTION? >> NO, IT'S NOT VERTICAL, IT WILL BE MORE LIKE LATERAL THREE FEET.

>> BUT, IF THE SIGN IS PROPOSED TO BE A LOWER STYLE SIGN, WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH THE APPLICANT?

>> YES. DEFINITELY. >> YES.

>> OKAY. >> WE'RE JUST TRYING TO

BEAUTIFY THE ROADWAY. >> I UNDERSTAND. AND ALSO WITHIN THE SITE ITSELF, I DIDN'T SEE A CONDITION OF THE LIMITS OF WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE PHASE ONE. SO, THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S GOING TO BE IN PLACE TO, UM, SERVE THERMO KING SPECIFICALLY.

SO, DO YOU HAVE THAT COVERED AS FAR AS THE LIMITS OF CONSTRUCTION, I KNOW THERE WAS ONE CONDITION THAT TALKED ABOUT THE ROAD OR THE COMMON INFRASTRUCTURE, MAY BE? MAY BE, NUMBER FOUR WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT THE AGREEMENTS AND COVENANTS?

>> YES. >> WHAT ABOUT THE LIMITS OF CONSTRUCTION, HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THAT PART OF IT, IF THERE'S

ANY DISCUSSION THERE? >> I THINK THE LIMITS OF CONSTRUCTION WILL BE BASED ON THE LOT PHASING PLAN. AND SO, AS THE LOTS ARE DEVELOPED, THE INFRASTRUCTURE WILL BE DEVELOPED ACCORDING TO THOSE LOTS. IF THERE ARE MASTER REQUIREMENTS FOR STORM WATER TREATMENT, THEN, THAT WOULD BE IN PLACE PRIOR TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ANY OTHER LOTS.

>> YOU ANSWERED MY QUESTION. THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR HUDSON: COMMISSIONER BRODERICK?

>> THE, UM FIRST OFF, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT AND A GREAT LOCATION. AND IT IS EXACTLY WHAT THAT CORRIDOR IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT. HAVING SAID THAT, THERE WAS A NOVO RELATIVE TO THIS FROM THE PLANNING BOARD, WAS THAT RELATIVE TO THIS LANDSCAPE BUFFER?

>> MAYOR HUDSON: ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT?

>> THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO BE IN PLAY FOR PHASING AN CONSTRUCTION OF THIS FIRST PHASE OR FIRST LOT NUMBER ONE, COULD YOU TELL ME ABOUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE STORM WATER PLAN?

>> YES, SIR. I JUST SPOKE WITH MY CLIENT AND GIVEN THAT IT'S JUST A THREE-LOT SUBDIVISION, IT'S MORE COST EFFECTIVE TO BUILD THE INFRASTRUCTURE UP FRONT, SO, IT WOULD ALL BE BUILT

IN THE ONE PHASE. >> AND YOU'VE WORKED WITH THE COUNTY OR THE DOT FOR THE CONNECTION? NOT CORRECTLY ON THE PROPERTY GOING ON PRUITT, ONLY ON KINGS, THEY LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF CONNECTIONS THAT YOU CAN HAVE ON KINGS AS YOU KNOW.

>> THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> MAYOR HUDSON: I HAVE A QUESTION, JUST, WHERE IS THE CURRENT FACILITY. YOU SAID

THERE'S A CURRENT ONE. >> 'IT'S OFF

>> MAYOR HUDSON: WAS IT OLEANDER? .

AND, UM, I'VE HAD SOME APPLICATIONS TO ST. LUCY COUNTY WHERE THE SAME CHALLENGESES ARE COMING FORTH. AND I WAS TALKING WITH MMR. MIMMS ABOUT IT. AND ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAD, AND IT REGARDED GUTTERS AND DOWN SPOUTS SPECIFIC TO PROXIMITY OF A ROOF LINE. SO, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ALWAYS HAVE A COMMON SENSE PERSPECTIVE, THE WAY THAT THE BLACK AND WHITE LETTERING READS IS THAT YOU ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A GUTTERING AND A DOWN SPOUT, BUT, IT DOESN'T TAKE SAY IF YOU HAVE A GABLEED ROOF, WE'RE NOT GOING TO PUT A GABLEED ROOF IF WE HAVE A DOWN SPOUT. I MENTIONED IT WITH MR. MIMMS WITH A SMILE, LIKE I AM NOW. BECAUSE, IF YOU TOOK THE LETTER OF THE LAW, IT'S GOING TO SAY, WE'RE GOING TO PUT A GUTTER ON A GABLE. AND I THINK WE ALL UNDERSTAND, THAT WE'RE NOT GOING

TO DO THAT >> I APPRECIATE THAT. FOR INSTANCE, THERE'S MANY DIFFERENT TYPE OF ROOF STRUCTURES TO PUT ON YOUR PROPERTY. IF YOU WERE TO USE PALM FRONDS, HOW WOULD YOU PUT A GUTTER ON THAT. SO, THERE ARE COMMON SENSE MEASURES THAT HAVE TO BE TAKEN. BUT, DEFINITELY, I RESPECT YOUR PERSPECTIVE, IF YOU WERE MAKING AN ADDITION AND YOU'RE GOING OUT AND THE GABLE END IS TOWARDS THE PROPERTY LINE, THERE'S NO USE FOR A GUTTER, IT WOULD BE ON THE

SLOPED END. >> SO, MY OTHER COMMENT WAS, IS THE 200 SQUARE FEET, IF I WANTED TO EXPAND MY OWN PERSONAL DRIVEWAY AND WIDEN IT, DOES THE 200 FEET COME INTO CALCULATION ON THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY SIDE IN ADDITION TO MY PROPERTY SIDE?

>> I THINK THERE'S A LIMIT FOR THE LENGTH, PLANNING AND ZONING, I'M SORRY, ENGINEERING LIMITS THE LENGTH THAT YOU COULD HAVE.

SO, THAT'S COVERED OVER THERE, BASICALLY, IF YOU'RE GOING TO GET A PERMIT, THEY'RE GOING TO SAY IF IT'S TOO WIDE OR NOT AS IT APPROACHES THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AND WHATEVER HAPPENS ON YOUR PROPERTY, THAT'S WHAT THIS IS INTENDED TO COVER.

>> I LITERALLY DROVE UP TUSE TF SCENARIOS FOR MY OWN PARCEL.

[01:25:08]

BECAUSE, I COULD SEE SOMEONE COMING IN AND SAYING, I WANT TO EXPAND MY DRIVEWAY. AND THIS IS THE ISSUE THAT I HAVE WITH THE COUNTY IS THAT THERE ARE PORTIONS OF THE PROPERTY IN THE BACK OF THE YARD THAT WERE NOT B BEING TOUCHED. THE FRONT OF THE YARD WAS BEING TOUCHED, HOWEVER YOU HAVE TO CREATE A DRAINAGE PLAN FOR THE ENTIRE PARCEL.

BECAUSE, WE CAN'T HEAR YOUR FACIAL EXPRESSIONS, I'M GOING TO

SAY IT. >> MAYOR HUDSON: HIS FACIAL EXPRESSION SAID THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

>> THE DRAINAGE PLAN WOULD BE FOR THE AREA THAT YOU ARE EFFECTING, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU WOULD DO THAT.

>> SO, OUR PLAN REVIEWERS NEED TO KNOW LOGICALLY, THIS IS WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT THE AREAS OF IMPROVEMENTS.

>> ABSOLUTELY. >> THANK YOU.

>> MAYOR HUDSON: SO, YOU'RE NOT SUGGESTING ANY CHANGES,

RIGHT? >> NO.

>> MAYOR HUDSON: OKAY. >> I'M GOING TO REITERATE WHAT COMMISSIONER J JOHNSON SAID, I THINK THAT THE CHANGES MADE WERE PRACTICAL, AND FUNCTIONAL AND IT KIND OF FIXES THE WHOLE SCENARIO. I'M ALL EXCITED ABOUT INSTALLING GUTTERS ON MY GABLE ENDS NOW. BUT, I THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE MODIFICATIONS. I THINK IT'S MORE USER FRIENDLY AND I THINK THAT WILL ADD TO COMPLIANCE AS WELL. SO, NICE WORK.

>> THANK YOU. >> MR. MIMMS.

>> I'M GOING TO WEIGH IN, AND I AGREE WITH YOUR COMMENTS, COMMISSIONER JOHNSON, BUT, RIGHT NOW, BASICALLY, WHAT YOU SAID IS FOR DIFFERENT SCENARIOS WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE IT AT THE DISCRETION OF THE BUILDING DIRECTOR, THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT

YOU'RE SAYING? >> YES, SIR.

>> BUILDING DIRECTORS CHANGE, PEOPLE CHANGE.

>> MAYOR HUDSON: I WAS GOING TO SAY, THIS BUILDING DIRECTOR.

>> THIS POSITION COULD CHANGE, SIR, I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE IT TO THE DISCRETION OF THE BUILDING DIRECTOR, I THINK WE COULD PUT IN ONE WORD, MAY BE USED. THE REQUIREMENT IS TO HAVE A DRAINAGE PLAN AND TO HAVE A DESIGN PROFESSIONAL PROVIDE THAT DRAINAGE PLAN. GUTTERS AND DOWN SPOUT ARE NOT REQUIRED TO FULFILL THAT REQUIREMENT. SO, ALL I'M SAYING IS, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE SAYING LEAVE IT AT PAUL'S DISCRETION, I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT FIVE YEARS FROM NOW, IT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER TYPE OF THINKING. YOU COULD JUST GET RID OF IT RIGHT NOW, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO.

>> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE GUTTERS AND DOWN SPOUTS?

>> ABSOLUTELY. BECAUSE, WITH EVERY TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION,

THERE ARE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS. >> THAT'S A VALID POINT.

COMMISSIONER J JOHNSON. WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON THAT? I THINK THAT'S A VALID CONCERN. NOT NECESSARILY TODAY, BUT, IN THE

FUTURE. >> SO, I UNDERSTAND THE INTENTION, THE INTENTION IS THE SETBACK IS WITHIN THE PROPERTY LINE BOUNDARY, LET'S CALL IT THAT, SO, WE DON'T HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT TO OUR NEIGHBOR. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO SAY.

COLLECT THE WATER AND GET RID OF IT IN A DIFFERENT WAY. I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT THREE SCENARIOS THAT CAME UP, THE DOWN SPOUT COULD BE AIMED AT THE NEIGHBORING YARD WHICH WILL CREATE THE EXACT SCENARIO. IF THEY WOULD HAVE A SEPTIC ON THAT SIDE OF THE HOUSE, SAME SCENARIO. YEAH, I WOULD BE MORE COMFORTABLE WITH STRIKING THAT ITEM BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S SOME PRACTICALITY THAT WILL COME INTO PLAY DURING THE CONSTRUCTION AND THE CONSTRUCTION REVIEW PROCESS.

>> I AGREE WITH THAT. IT'S ALL GOING TO BE VETTED IN THAT

CAPACITY. I'M GOOD WITH THAT. >> MADAM MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS, IF I MAY, UM, THE WATER SHED THAT COMES OFF OF THE ROOF IS GOING TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE MAJORITY OF THE WATER OFF OF YOUR PROPERTY, THAT'S THE STORM WATER. BESIDE YOUR DRIVEWAY OR YOUR IMPERVIOUS SURFACES. I THINK THAT IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN WHOSE GOING TO MAKE THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER THEY'RE REQUIRED OR NOT, PERHAPS INSTEAD OF STRIKING THE WHOLE DISCUSSION ABOUT IT, BECAUSE, IT MAY BE REQUIRED, THEN, MAKE IT THE DETERMINATION OF WHOMEVER YOUR DESIGN PROFESSIONAL IS. IF THEY FEEL IT IS REQUIRED TO PUT THAT IN, THEY'RE DESIGNING THE WHOLE PLAN, IF THEY SAY, HEY, THIS IS GOING TO PRODUCE THIS MUCH WATER, AND WE NEED TO DIRECT IT NOT FRONT. THEY PUT THAT IN

[01:30:05]

THERE. THERE MAY BE TIMES WHEN YOU WOULD NEED GUTTERS AND DOWN SPOUTS. THAT'S A REQUIREMENT OF BEING ABLE TO PROTECT YOUR

NEIGHBORS. JUST MY THOUGHTS. >> AND I APPRECIATE THAT. AND I THINK I HEARD YOU SAY, WE COULD STRIKE IT OR SAY THE WORDS, GUTTERS AND DOWN SPOUTS MAY BE REQUIRED. AND THAT GIVES MORE LATITUDE WITHIN AND WE HAVE THE DRAINAGE PLAN WITH THE

REVIEW. >> ABSOLUTELY.

>> MAKES SENSE? >> SO, IT'S ITEM, G?

>> UNDER WHICH SUBPART, THOUGH? IS THERE NOT ONE IT IS G.

>> SO, UNDER ITEM G, GUTTERS AND DOWN SPOUTS, "MAY" INSTEAD

OF SHALL. >> MAYOR HUDSON: DID I HEAR A

MOTION? >> WE'RE DONE SPEAKING.

>> MAYOR HUDSON: DOES ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO CHIME IN ON THIS?

>> MADAM MAYOR I MOVE TO APPROVE THIS ITEM WITH THE MODIFICATION OF ITEM G, THE WORD BEING MOVED FROM "SHALL", TO

"MAY". >> SECOND.

>> MAYOR HUDSON: CALL THE ROLL.

>> ROLLROLL. >> MAYOR HUDSON: YES, MA'AM.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK ON THIS, AND LISTENING TO THE COMMISSION AND COMING BACK WAS GOOD. YES.

>> I'M GOOD WITH IT. MR. FEE DOING A GREAT JOB.

BUT, SITTING HERE TONIGHT HAS BEEN A LESSON. BUT, I COME BECAUSE I'M CONCERNED ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS OCCURRING IN THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE. NOW, I'VE LISTENED TO YOU TALK ABOUT CHICKENS. AND I UNDERSTAND THERE HAS BEEN A PRICE PUT ON THE CHICKENS, OF $10 FOR ROOSTERS, AND $5 FOR HENS. I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT PEACOCKS. PEACOCKS WERE BEAUTIFUL, WHEN THEY WERE TWO OR THREE IN AND THOSE TWO OR THREE HAVE GROWN INTO UNKNOWN NUMBERS. AND THEY ARE ALL OVER THE CITY. YOU PUT UP YOUR SIGNS, PEACOCK CROSSING, STOPS THE TRAFFIC. AND NOW, IT'S MORE THAN TIEING UP THE TRAFFIC. I HAVE BEEN IN A BUSINESS NOW, AT 317 NORTH 7TH STREET. AND WE HAVE THE PARKING LOT WHERE THE CARS ARE POPPED. I'VE HAD FOUR INDIVIDUALS, FOUR CARS, FOUR VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY THE PEACOCKS.
