THE APPLICANT TODD MOWERY W WITH AICP WITH RED TAIL DESIGN GROUP. PARCEL ID IS 2401-502-0085-00077. TO SUBDIVIDE ONE PARCEL INTO SIX PLATTED LOTS. THIS IS THE SITE LOCATION WITH A SITE AREA GIVE OR TAKE .81 ACRES.

CURRENT FUTURE LAND USE OF HIR WHICH IS HUDSON ISLAND RESIDENTIAL. 4-A, WHICH IS OUR MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL. THIS IS THE FINAL PLAT IN QUESTION. AND THIS IS TIED TO A VARIANCE THAT WAS BROUGHT BEFORE THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT IN MARCH OF 2022. A DEVELOP NATION TO CITY CODE TO ALLOW FOR REDUCTION OF 14.66 FEET OF LOT WIDTH FROM THE SINGLE STANDARD SINGLE-FAMILY OF 60 FEET IN THE MUCHENSON ISLAND MINIMUM ZONING. THE LOT SIZE IS 44.34 FEET.

THIS IS THE VARIANCE THAT WAS REQUESTED AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS. AS YOU CAN SEE.

WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED ARE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.

PREVIOUSLY ON THIS LOT THERE WERE 11 BUILDINGS DESTROYED BY HURRICANE FRANCES AND JEAN. AND THE APPLICANTS CAME IN TO SUBDIVIDE THAT LAND.

ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATIONS CAN BE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS OR A RECOMMENDATION OF DISAPPROVAL. THANK YOU.

>>MAYOR HUDSON: QUESTIONS OF STAFF?

YES, SIR. >>COMMISSIONER BRODERICK: OKAY.

NOW I REMEMBER. THIS HAS BEEN NAGGING AT ME THAT I HAVE SEEN THIS SOMEWHERE BEFORE.

AND IT GOES BACK A COUPLE OF YEARS -- A YEAR AND A HALF.

[00:20:01]

AND I THINK IT WENT THROUGH THE PLANNING BOARD AT THAT TIME AS WELL. I COULD BE MISTAKE BIN THAT.

>> I KNOW IT DID GO THROUGH THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT BUT USUALLY WILL NOT GO THROUGH THE PLANNING BOARD.

>>COMMISSIONER BRODERICK: WHERE IT WENT THROUGH THE PLANNING BOARD AT THE TIME A RIGHT-OF-WAY ABANDONMENT THAT WAS REQUESTED.

AND WENT TO THE PLAN BOARD AND WENT TO THE CITY COMMISSION.

JUST TO REFRESH MY MEMORY, T CONCEPT HERE WAS TO SEEK REDUCED SIZED LOTS, BUT A MOTIVATION BEHIND THAT, NOT TO MAXIMIZE THE LOT, BUT PUTTING -- I AM NOT GOING TO REFER TO THEM AS TINY HOMES, BUT SMALLER COTTAGE-TYPE HOMES.

IS IT YOUR UNDERSTANDING THAT IS IT STILL THE PLAN OR MAYBE THAT WILL BE FOR THEIR -- FOR THEIR CONSULTANT?

>> TO MY KNOWLEDGE, IT IS STILL THE PLAN TO PUT THE SMALLER HOMES. THEY HAVE SETBACKS OF SIX FEET ON THE SIDE, SO IT DOES RESTRICT THE SIZE OF THE BUILDINGS THEMSELVES. SO I WOULD -- I WOULD SAY THAT TINY HOMES OR SMALLER HOUSES WOULD PROBABLY BE THE BEST FIT,

BUT I WILL -- >>COMMISSIONER BRODERICK: THE DEVELOPER SAID THEY REFERRED TO IT AS A COTTAGE COMMUNITY OR SOMETHING OF THIS NATURE. I WANTED TO TOUCH ON THE SETBACK ISSUE. WITH THE REDUCED LOT SIZE, THE SETBACKS ARE NOT CHANGED, CORRECT?

THE SETBACKS REMAIN THE SAME? >> THE SETBACKS THAT WERE PUT IN THE VARIANCE WHICH THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE AT.

15 IN THE SIDE, 15 IN THE BACK AND 25 IN THE FRONT.

>>COMMISSIONER BRODERICK: OKAY, I THINK -- THIS PLAN IS REFLECTIVE OF WHAT THAT DISCUSSION WAS AT THAT TIME.

SO I DON'T -- THE VARIANCE IS A WHOLE SEPARATE ISSUE.

I WASN'T INVOLVED WITH THAT. THAT WENT TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, BUT THAT -- THAT IS LITIGATED A LONG TIME AGO.

>> THIS IS THE FINAL STEP IN THAT PROCESS.

>>COMMISSIONER BRODERICK: I AM GOOD.

THANK YOU. >>MAYOR HUDSON: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY.

I WOULD LIKE TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ASK THE APPLICANT TO COME FORWARD, PLE

PLEASE. >> GOOD EVENING, MADAM MAYOR, COMMISSION REMEMBER, TODD MOWERY WITH RED TAIL REPRESENTING ON THIS PROCESS. YES, HISTORY IN THE PAST AND FIVE LOTS THAT WERE OWNED BY THE HOMEOWNER -- OR THE LANDOWNER AND ONE LOT THAT WAS ABANDONMENT AREA THAT WENT THROUGH.

SOME IN ESSENCE, IT DID CREATE WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SIX LOTS.

THE FIVE LOTS IN TERMS OF A QUICK HISTORY, THE FIVE LOTS DUE TO A PREVIOUS PLANNER WERE RECOMMENDED THAT THEY WERE COMBINED INTO ONE LOT. NOW ONE BIG LOT.

AND SO NOW WE ARE SORT OF UNWINDING THAT.

THERE ARE 11 STRUCTURES IN PLACE.

THESE ARE NOT TINY HOMES BUT TWO-STORY HOMES THAT WILL BE MATCHING SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ALREADY. AND AS A RESULT OF THAT SIZE HOME, WHICH -- WHICH ORIGINALLY WHAT HAPPENED IS HE WAS TOLD THAT HE WAS ABLE TO GO TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT AND TO IT BE ABLE TO DEVELOP HAND THIS HAS NOW BECOME A TWO-YEAR JOURNEY.

DUE TO THE SIZE OF THOSE HOMES TO MAKE SURE THEY MATCH WHAT IS SURROUND IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY HAD TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF MAKING SURE THEY WERE ABLE TO MEET SETBACKS AND WORK THROUGH THAT WITH THIS VARIANCE PROCESS WE WENT THROUGH.

>>MAYOR HUDSON: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT?

>>COMMISSIONER CURTIS JOHNSON: A QUICK QUESTION.

THIS IS A FINAL PLAT. >> IT IS, YES, COMMISSIONER.

>>COMMISSIONER CURTIS JOHNSON: TALK TO ME A LITTLE BIT OF ACCESS TO THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY.

I AM HAVING A LITTLE DIFFICULTY? >> SURE.

EACH OF THESE LOTS, THEY ARE FRONTING RIGHT ON HERNANDO.

SO YOU WILL HAVE A NORMAL, TYPICAL DRIVEWAY JUST LIKE YOU SEE -- IN THAT AERIAL, YOU CAN SEE IS THE EXISTING HOME AND THE POOL JUST ABOVE THAT. IT WILL LOOK JUST LIKE THOSE AS YOU GO RIGHT DOWN THE LINE THERE.

SO THEY USED TO BE -- AT THE SOUTHERN END OF THIS, COULD YOU SEE A LITTLE STRUCTURE. THERE WERE SOME OLD ABANDONED.

LITERALLY LOOKING ABANDONED APARTMENT BUILDINGS THAT WERE THERE IN 2004 AND 200 5 THAT HAD A DEVASTATING HURRICANE THAT TOOK OFF THE MARINA. THEY LOST STRUCTURES IN THAT AREA. INSTEAD OF COMING BACK WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY WAS THERE AND INCLUDING 11 UNITS CRAMMED IN.

INSTEAD WE ARE DOING NICE TWO-STORY SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES THAT WILL SHALL THERE. 1500 SQUARE FEET MINIMIZED.

>>COMMISSIONER CURTIS JOHNSON: THAT WAS THE NEXT QUESTION, 1500. THAT HELPS, YES.

>>MAYOR HUDSON: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT?

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SHARE? >> APPRECIATE THE TIME.
