>> THANK YOU, MADAME MAYOR. THE CITY COMMISSION SERVES THE LEGISLATIVE AND QUASIJUDICIAL ROLE. WHEN ACTING AS A LEGISLATIVE BODY THE COMMISSION ENGAGED THE LAWMAKING ACTIVITY BY PASSING LAWS AND ESTABLISHING POLICIES. WHEN ACTING AS A QUASIJUDICIAL BODY THE COMMISSION APPLIES AS LAWS AND POLICIES AND IS HELD TO STRICTER PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS.UASIJUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS ARE LESS FORMAL IN THE PROCEEDINGS BEFORE A CIRCUIT COURT BUT ARE MORE FORMAL THAN THE NORMAL COMMISSION MEETING.

QUASIJUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS MUST FOLLOW BASIC STANDARDS OF NOTICE AND DUE PROCESS AND COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. COMMISSIONERS HAVE A DUTY TO CONDUCT THE QUASIJUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS LIKE JUDGES AND LIKE LEGISLATORS.

THAT'S WHY THE COMMISSION HAS ESTABLISHED FORMAL PROCEDURES FOR QUASIJUDICIAL HEARINGS THAT

WILL BE FOLLOWED THIS EVENING. >> THANK YOU. SO THESE PROCEEDINGS ARE NOW CALLED TO ORDER. WITH THE CITY CLERK PLEASE CONFIRM COMPLIANCE WITH THE

ADVERTISING AND NOTICE REQUIREMENTS. >> THE ADVERTISING AND NOTICE

REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS ITEM HAVE BEEN MET. >> AT THIS TIME, ANY EXPERT TO COMMUNICATIONS SHOULD BE DISCLOSED BY EACH MEMBER OF THE CITY COMMISSION.

COMMISSIONER SESSIONS? >> WE WILL PROCEED WITH THE HEARING.

WITH THE CITY CLERK PLEASE SWEAR IN THE WITNESSES? >> WILL ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM PLEASE STAND, RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND? DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM TO TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH? THANK YOU.

>> ALL RIGHT. CITY STAFF WILL NOT MAKE THE PRESENTATION.

>> GOOD EVENING, MADAME MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS. WE ARE HERE TODAY TO DISCUSS THE CONDEMNATION AND REQUEST FOR DEMOLITION OF 2607 AVENUE D.

>> DO I NEED TO COME UP AND BE SUPPORTED?

>> WHENEVER WE CALANNI WE WILL SWEAR YOU AND, OKAY? THANK

[00:15:04]

>> THERE'S QUITE A LENGTHY HISTORY WITH THIS PROPERTY. IT WAS ORIGINALLY LY CONDEMNED BY MR. MYERS THE BUILDING OFFICIAL BACK IN K IN 2016 ON JUNE 10 2016 WE RECEIVED THE FIRST OF MULTIPLE REQUESTS FOR EXTENSION, AND IT WAS GRANTED. MULTIPLE EXTENSIONS WERE GRANTED BY THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT. BUT THEN DUE TO NO ACTION, THE PROPERTY WAS RECITED ON OCTOBER 30, 2018, AND THAT WAS DONE ONCE CONDEMNATIONS WERE TRANSFERRED TO THE CODE ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT. THE OWNER REACHED OUT TO STAFF.

I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE OWNER SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF EARS.

SHE HAD STATED THE PROPERTY WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO THE FAMILY AND THAT THEY WANTED TO REHABILITATE THE STRUCTURE. BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT I WAS PROVIDED, I DID TRY TO GET MULTIPLE EXTENSIONS ALLOWING HER TO TRY TO GET FINANCING FOR THE REHAB AND TRY AND MAKE SOME DECISIONS. ON MAY 8, 2019, A APPLICATION WAS SUBMITTED BUT IT WAS REJECTED BECAUSE IT DIDN'T COVER THE FULL SCOPE OF WORK THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE.

ON OCTOBER 22, 2019, I GRANTED ONE FINAL EXTENSION. THEY WERE GOING TO TRY TO RESUBMIT THE PLANS. BUT NURSERY SUBMITTALS HAVE BEEN DONE.

NO ACTION HAS ACTUALLY BEEN TAKEN SINCE MAY OF LAST YEAR. AND THEREFORE, STAFF WOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CONDEMNATION WITH DEMOLITION REQUEST. THE CURRENT STATUS ÃTHE PROPERTY MAINTENANCE INSPECTION REPORT WAS COMPLETED BY THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT IN SEPTEMBER 2018 AND DUE TO THE ROOF COLLAPSE AND OVERALL POOR CONDITION OF THE STRUCTURE THEY DID RECOMMEND DEMOLITION OF THE STRUCTURE. THE NOTICE OF UNSAFE BUILDING WAS SENT CERTIFIED MAIL. THE OWNER DID RECEIVE IT. IT WAS SIGNED AND RETURNED.

THERE WAS ONE LIENHOLDER THAT WE NOTICED BUT IT WAS RETURNED UNCLAIMED.

IT IS A NON-HOMESTEAD PROPERTY. IT'S NOT OCCUPIED. IT'S VACANT.

THERE WAS ONE PERMIT APPLICATION SUBMITTED IN 2019, BUT IT WAS DENIED.

THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL CODE ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AT THE PROPERTY.

IT'S NOT HISTORIC AND THERE ARE NO UTILITIES. I CONFIRMED TODAY THERE WAS NO BUILDING PERMITS. SO THAT NUMBER DIDN'T GET UPDATED.

I CONFIRMED THIS AFTERNOON THERE'S NO BUILDING PERMITS IN HOUSE AND WE ARE WAITING ON THE RESULTS OF A TITLE SEARCH, BUT WE DID NOTIFY THE ONE LIENHOLDER WE WERE ABLE TO FIND WITHOUT THAT. THIS IS THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY.

IT IS A CONCRETE STRUCTURE. THERE'S FOUR WALLS. THERE'S NO ROOF.

THIS IS FROM THE AVENUE D SIDE. THE FIRST PHOTO WAS FROM 26TH ST. NSS AVENUE D. THIS IS AGAIN ON THE 26TH ST. SIDE AND YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE. YOU CAN SEE WHERE OVER THE BOARD, THERE'S NO ROOF. THE ROOF IS GONE. THIS IS A BRIEF OVERHEAD VIEW OF THE LOCATION, AND THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS. AND THE CITY COMMISSION CAN'T APPROVE, AMEND, OR DENY STAFF PUBLIC RECOMMENDATION FOR DEMOLITION.

IF THE COMMISSION WAS TO APPROVE THE DEMOLITION, 30 DAYS WOULD BE GIVEN FOR AN APPEAL PROCESS. IF NO APPEAL IS FILED, THEN THERE WOULD BE ANOTHER 15 DAY NOTICE PROVIDED TO THE OWNER. SO THAT'S ESSENTIALLY 45 DAYS FOR THE OWNER TO TAKE CARE OF THE DEMOLITION ON THEIR OWN. AND THEN AT THAT DID NOT TAKE PLACE, AND THE CITY WOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH TAKING CARE OF THE PROPERTY AND HAVING THE BUILDING DEMOLISHED.

AND NOT STAFF'S PRESENTATION. >> ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF? >> MADAME MAYOR? WAS LOOKING THROUGH THE REPORT. ARE THERE ANY VIOLATIONS THAT ARE ONGOING, ANY OTHER CHARGES THAT ARE HAPPENING LIKE WE JUST SAW AN EXAMPLE TONIGHT IN A REQUEST FOR REDUCTION IN FINES?

IS THERE ANYTHING HAPPENING WITH THIS PROPERTY RIGHT NOW? >> NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF.

I HAVE NOT DONE A LIEN SEARCH TO THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT BUT THROUGH MY DEPARTMENT THERE IS NONE THAT I'M AWARE OF. AND THEN GO BACK TO YOUR SITE WHERE YOU SHOWED THE WINDOW THE TIGHT BEAM AT THE TOP. I SAW THE REPORT TALKING ABOUT STRUCTURAL DEFICIENCY.

IS THAT WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE? ABOVE THE WINDOW. >> THE CRACK THAT'S GOING RIGHT

HERE?YES. >> AND THEN HE CAN GO BACK ANOTHER PICTURE, IS ALSO EXPOSED STEEL. MAYBE ONE MORE. ZOOM IN THE MIDDLE THERE.

RIGHT AT THE CORNER IT LOOKS LIKE SOME REBAR. IS THAT WHAT I SEE?

>> DUSTY CORNER OF THE BUILDING. THAT'S THE REBAR.

>> SO IT'S BEEN EXPOSED. YOU SAID THERE WAS A REROOF APPLICATION IN MAY 2019.

>> YES. >> THERE WERE TRUSSES ON THE STRUCTURE AT THE TIME?

[00:20:03]

>> NO. THAT'S WHY IT WAS DENIED. >> BECAUSE YOU CAN'T REROOF

OKAY. >> PEGGY, WHEN DID YOU SAY THIS BUILDING WAS BUILT?> THE BUILDING WAS BUILT ÃTHE PROPERTY APPRAISAL DOES NOT HAVE IT.

>> HOW CAN YOU SAY IT'S NOT HISTORICAL? >> I CHECKED WITH THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER AND SHE STATED IT WASN'T IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT OR A HISTORIC

BUILDING. >> WELL, I KNEW THE FAMILY THAT LIVED THERE, AND SHE WAS OLD ENOUGH TO BE MY GRANDMOTHER, AND I'M OLD ENOUGH TO BE YOUR GRANDFATHER.

SO HOW IS IT THAT THE BUILDING CANNOT BE HISTORICAL? WHAT DETERMINES Ã

>> IT WOULD BE LOCATED WITHIN THE DESIGNATED HISTORIC DISTRICT AND IT'S OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT, OR IT WOULD HAVE TO BE INDEPENDENTLY DESIGNATED AS HISTORIC.

>> THAT'S CORRECT. >> HISTORIC AVENUE D, IT RAN ALL THE WAY OUT.

SO WHY WOULD NOT ANY OF THE BUILDINGS THAT'S WITHIN AVENUE D ÃI'M JUST ASKING

>> HANG ON. WE SHOULD HAVE RESPONDED SHE'S GOING TO ADD TESTIMONY TO THE

RECORD. >> I APPRECIATE YOU DOING THAT. >> RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM TO TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH?

>> YES. >> YOU. >> THERE ARE UNFORTUNATELY MANY HOMES THAT LIE OUTSIDE OF OUR HISTORIC DISTRICTS THAT WILL ESTABLISH A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO. THAT ARE BY THE YEAR THEY WERE BUILT, ALL OF US WOULD CONSIDER HISTORIC BUT THEY ARE NOT OFFICIALLY EITHER WITHIN A HISTORIC DISTRICT OR HAVE GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS OF HAVING A RESOLUTION DESIGNATED AS A HISTORICAL STRUCTURE.

WITHOUT THAT, THEY DON'T HAVE THE PROTECTION. >> WE DON'T UP AND JUST VOLUNTEER AND GIVE THESE INDIVIDUALS THAT KIND OF INFORMATION? THAT ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS ASK FOR DESIGNATION OR SOMETHING? AGAIN, THAT FAMILY HAS BEEN ON THAT CORNER THERE, I'D BE SCARED TO SAY HOW LONG. BUT ARE THEY BEING GIVEN INFORMATION THAT YOU SAY HAVE APPLIED FOR A PERMIT LAST YEAR, AND WERE THEY TOLD WHAT TO DO, BUT THEY NEED TO DO AND HOW THEY NEED TO DO IT? THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE HAVE ALL OF THESE EMPLOYEES TO WORK WITH ONE INDIVIDUAL, AND YOU KNOW, ÃIF SOMEBODY WANTS TO SAVE THE BUILDING FOR WHATEVER THE REASON THEY WANT TO SAVE IT, YOU DON'T KNOW, RIGHT?

YOU DON'T KNOW THE REASONS, RIGHT >> I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE OWNER MULTIPLE TIMES. I UNDERSTAND THE FAMILY HISTORY WHICH IS WIDELY GRANTED FOUR YEARS OF EXTENSIONS. WE REALLY TRIED TO ALLOW THE OWNER THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THIS ON THEIR OWN. IT'S ONLY AFTER 40 YEARS HAVE ELAPSED WITH NO ACTION BEING

TAKEN STAFF IS MOVED TO THIS POINT. >> OKAY.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF? SO I WOULD LIKE TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING NOW. IF YOU WOULD COME FORWARD, PLEASE.

IF YOU COULD SIGN IN FOR ME, PLEASE, AND THEN >> I APOLOGIZE.

>> NO. LISTEN ÃYOU ARE FINE. WE ARE GOING TO WORK WITH YOU.

>> I THINK SHE WOULD LIKE TO SWEAR YOU AND FIRST >> RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM TO TELL YOU TRUTH THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH? THANK YOU. IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR US FOR THE

RECORD >> MY NAME IS NORMA BRADBURY I LIVE AT 2410 NORTH 51ST ST., FORT PIERCE, FL. MADAME MAYOR MISSIONARIES, I DO APPRECIATE THIS TIME AND THIS

[00:25:02]

OPPORTUNITY TO COME AND TO LET YOU KNOW MUCH HAS HAPPENED. I DON'T WANT TO GO THAT FAR BACK BECAUSE CURRENTLY, MY SON HAS TAKEN OUT A LOAN. HE'S GIVEN A DEPOSIT TO THE CONTRACTOR ALREADY AND WHAT TO APPLY FOR THE PERMIT, AND IN OUR HASTE AND EXCITEMENT AND ANTICIPATION TO GET THE BUILDING DONE, WE COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THE BLUEPRINT.

AND I HAVE ONE, HOWEVER IT WAS DESTROYED IN THE OTHER PLACE WE LIVED DURING THE STORM.

SO I DON'T HAVE THAT, BUT I DO HAVE THIS. THIS IS BLACK HISTORY MONTH.

MY FAMILY IS A WELL-KNOWN FAMILY, AND MANY MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN THIS FAMILY, BUT I KIND OF FELT LIKE AND SINCE THEY NEED TO DO THIS PRESENTATION.

IT'S JUST A FEW SLIDES BUT MY MOTHER ALWAYS TOLD ME A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS.

SO WE ARE GOING TO GO FORWARD MRS. LENA SCOTT BAILEY, THIS PROPERTY WAS OWNED BY HER, NOT JUST THAT PARTICULAR PROPERTY HOUSES ACROSS THE STREET. THE HOUSES ARE THERE NOW.

SHE OWNED THAT, BUT PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHING ONE OF THE FIRST FEMALE AFRICAN HOMES AND RESIDENTIAL RENTERS IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY ON THE TREASURE COAST.

DAUGHTER, WIFE, MOTHER, GRANDMOTHER, SISTER AND MUCH MORE.

MOTHER WAS ELIZABETH BUT SHE GAVE UP THE ROSA FOR SOME REASON.

AND DECIDED TO USE ELIZABETH. THIS PICTURE HER BROTHER JULIUS CAESAR SCOTT, ARE YOU ALL FAMILIAR WITH THAT? I AM SURE YOU ARE. THAT MEMORIAL SITS RIGHT ON 13TH ST. AND AVENUE D. UNCLE JULIUS HUSBAND CHARIS AUGUSTUS BAILEY AND I PUT THIS PICTURE OF THE CHILDREN. THAT'S NOT QUITE A GOOD PICTURE, BUT THAT MY MOTHER AND ALL OF THE GOING ON BEFORE HER. SHE WAS THE LAST SIBLING, SISTERS AND BROTHER.

MY BROTHER AT THE VERY BOTTOM CENTER. AND THIS IS NOT A VERY CLEAR PICTURE BUT I TRIED TO BLOW IT UP. MY SISTER DID THAT AND WORKED WITH IT FOR THANKSGIVING AND WE WERE HAVING. BUT IT'S THERE, JUST FAMILY.

MY MOTHER ALWAYS TOLD ME FAMILY IS EVERYTHING. YOU DON'T HAVE FAMILY, YOU JUST LOSE EVERYTHING. THANK GOD THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE DOCTORS AS FAMILY.

THESE GRANDCHILDREN I GUESS GRANDCHILDREN THAT'S US.OUR SISTERS LEFT ONE OF THE GRANDCHILDREN FROM MY UNCLE'S Ã ACTUALLY, TWO OF THEM HAVE GONE ON.

CLIFFORD, I DIDN'T FIND A PICTURE OF HIM, BUT HE'S THERE. THIS IS THE CLOTHES-KNIT FOUR SISTERS THIS IS CONTINUED. THE YOUNG MAN SITTING WITH THE WHITE SHIRT WITH THE BROWN STRIPE PASSED OVER A YEAR AGO FROM GLIOBLASTOMA RIGHT HERE. MY ELDEST SISTER THERE IN THE FRONT WITH THE WHITE HAIR. SHE RETURNED BACK TO ATLANTA. AND, OF COURSE, THESE ARE BRANDS AND GREAT CRAYONS AND WE ALSO LOST ANOTHER ONE, A YOUNG ONE IN THEIR FOR A HEART ISSUE.

SO THIS IS THE LADY WHO IS BUILDING THE LAST BUILDING, THE LAST PROPERTY THAT I TOLD MY MOTHER. MY STEPFATHER, VERNON LEE, HE WAS LIKE A DAD TO ME.

I MADE A PROMISE TO THEM THAT I WOULD DO EVERYTHING WITHIN MY POWER WITH THE GRACE OF GOD TO HOLD TO THIS LAND BUT WE GOT BACK AND THAT BUILDING IS WHERE THIS LADY USED TO SIT AND TALK

[00:30:03]

TO US AND SHARE ALL OF THE WISDOM AND TELL US ALL OF THE FAMILY STORIES, COLLECT THE RENT WHICH I HELPED HER DO. GOT MY FIRST BICYCLE AND COLLECTED RENT FIXED SCREEN AND SCREEN DOORS. DO KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT CONSTRUCTION, LEARN HOW TO FRAME A HOUSE.

AND EVERYTHING. BUT THIS MOMENT, MRS. BAILEY, PASSED ON SEPTEMBER 21 AFTER A SHORT ILLNESS IN DAYTONA BEACH WHERE SHE HAS LIVED FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS WITH HER SON GODFREY. SHE WAS 95 YEARS OLD. SOME PEOPLE SAY SHE WAS OLDER.

SHE WAS A RETIRED PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER WHO HAS TAUGHT IN ALL IN STUART AND FT. PIERCE DURING HER 40 YEARS IN THE PROFESSION. HER FIRST TEACHING ASSIGNMENT WAS AT ST. LUCIE COUNTIES NORTHWEST SCHOOL 1923. THAT SCHOOL PROVIDED INSTRUCTION FOR THE CHILDREN WHOSE PARENTS SUPPORT FOR THE BILL TURPENTINE STEEL. HER LAST TEACHING ASSIGNMENT WAS AT THIS CHESTER A MOORE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN FORT PIERCE.

SHE RETIRED IN 1962. SHE WAS LISTED IN WHO'S WHO FOR OUTSTANDING BLACK WOMEN OF AMERICA. 1976. RECEIVED AN AWARD FROM NEW YORK TIMES FOR HISTORICAL WRITING RECEIVED ATTRIBUTE OF PUBLIC SERVICE FROM MOUNT OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH IN 1975 ORGANIZED THE FIRST CLUB IN FORT PIERCE CALLED MOTHERS CLUB OF GOLDEN GATE HOUSEHOLD NUMBER 3717. ANSWER DESK SECRETARY.

GOOD GRACIOUS. THIS IS A LOT OF READING. SERVICE SECRETARY WAS A MEMBER OF THE WOMEN'S MISSION AND THE WOMEN'S FEDERATED CLUB. SHE WAS ALSO THE COMPOSER OF MANY POEMS AND SONGS ONE SONG JIMMY DARLING WAS PUBLISHED BY ÃSHE RECEIVED ORDERS FROM THE ST. LUCIE STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION ON HER RETIREMENT FROM THE LOCAL SCHOOL SYSTEM AND RECEIVED BIRTHDAY GREETINGS FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. ON BOTH HER 94TH AND 95TH BIRTHDAYS. SHE WAS KNOWN AS THE OLDEST WALKER IN DAYTONA BEACH BECAUSE SHE AND HER SON WALK ONE MILE EVERY DAY EXCEPT THE DAY BEFORE HER DEATH.

SHE WAS CHRISTENED LENA AGNES SCOTT AND SHE WAS BORN JULY NIGHT 1889 IN SANFORD, FLORIDA TO CARE CLARENCE LUTHER SCOTT AND ROSA ELIZABETH BURKE AT A VERY YOUNG AGE LENA AND HER MOTHER MOVED TO FORT PIERCE IN 1903 WHEN LENA WAS 14 YEARS OLD NOT ALL BAPTIST WAS FOUNDED.

SHE PARTICIPATED BY GIVING THE CHURCH TO SONG IN JUNE 1911 LENA AGNES SCOTT COMPLETED HER STUDIES AT THE FLORIDA BAPTIST INSTITUTE IN SAINT AUGUSTINE. THAT SCHOOL WAS LATER NAMED FLORIDA NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE. ON DECEMBER 23, 1911, LENA MARRIED THE LATE HARRIS AUGUSTUS BAILEY WHO HAD RECENTLY SETTLED IN JENSEN BEACH WITH HIS FATHER THE LATE JEFFERSON SAMUEL BAILEY. THEY WERE MARRIED AT METABOLIC BAPTIST CHURCH BY ITS PASTOR THE LATE REVEREND RJ TAYLOR. THEY WERE BOTH VERY ACTIVE WORKERS NOT ALL BAPTIST CHURCH FOR MANY YEARS. SHE SERVED AS ORGANIST FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS AND HARRIS SERVED AS A DEACON CHURCH AND SUNDAY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT AND THEY LIVED IN JENSEN BEACH FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS BEFORE SETTLING IN JENSEN BEACH WHERE THEY PURCHASED THEIR FIRST HOME IN MAY 1924: 46 NORTH 9TH ST. BY THE LATE MR. BOLINT.

A.J. BOLINT. TO THAT UNION FOUR CHILDREN WERE BORN THE LATE BAILEY MORRIS WHO WAS FIRST OF THE FOUR, SHE SERVED ALSO AS A PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER AND ACTIVE CHURCH WORKER BEFORE THE ANGELS CAME AND TOOK HER TO HEAVEN.

THE OTHER CHILDREN ARE MRS. EMMA JEAN BAILEY LEE OF FT. PIERCE WAS ÃMR. COFFEE SCOTT BAILEY SENIOR OF DAYTONA BEACH OTHER SURVIVORS INCLUDE SO FORTH AND SO FORTH.

AMEN. ALL RIGHT. ON THIS PARTICULAR PICTURE, A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT. BUT PROMISE THAT I MADE TO MY GRANDMOTHER, THEY PROMISE OF

[00:35:01]

TURNER VERNON LEE MADE TO MY WIFE ÃHIS WIFE IS THE PROMISE OF HOLDING ONTO THE PROPERTY AND THAT LAST STRUCTURE, WHATEVER WE HAVE TO DO TO REVIVE IT.

I TOLD MY MOTHER THREE DAYS BEFORE SHE DIED BUT I WOULD DO WHAT I CAN, AND I HAVE DONE IT.

PAY TAXES, I'VE BEEN BEHIND THE SCENE WORKING. SOME PEOPLE DON'T KNOW.

I MEAN, TIME IS UP IN ESSENCE AND UNDERSTAND THAT. I HAD TO END UP PURCHASING A HOME MYSELF TO LIVE IN, AND THAT PROCESS TOOK ME MORE THAN I THOUGHT.

IT TOOK ME ABOUT A YEAR, AND WE FINALLY GOT IT DONE, AND THEN LIKE I SAID, WE WERE ON A ROLL.

ET'S GET TO 2607. AND I'LL BE DARN, ENDED UP FORGETTING ABOUT THE BLUEPRINT AND MR. BENNETT IS SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING ON IT, BUT I'VE GOT TO GO A LITTLE WAY AND I HAVE TO FIND SOMEONE ELSE IF YOU CAN'T COMPLETE THE TASK OF FINISHING THE BLUEPRINT AND TIME. SO, YOU KNOW, THAT REBAR YOU SAW IN THAT STRUCTURE, MY GRANDMOTHER WAS GOING TO ADD A SECOND STORY HERE. THAT'S WHY THAT REBAR WAS THERE. SO THE PLAN WAS TO DO A SLIGHT PITCH FLATTOP AND LATER ON EVENTUALLY DO A ROBOCALL, WHICH I'VE SEEN THE BAILEY PLAN. I WASN'T ABLE TO GET IT HERE TODAY. I WAS GOING TO TRY TO ASK FOR AN EXTENSION BUT I SAID I BETTER GO TONIGHT AND JUST GET THIS DONE. AND BELIEVING THAT YOU ALL WILL BE FAIR AND LET'S TRY TO WORK THIS OUT. MY SON HAS ALREADY SPENT MONEY TO GET THE BUILDING DONE. WE JUST NEED A BLUEPRINT NOW. YOU WILL HAVE ÃI ALMOST HIT THE FLOOR. I SAID IT WASN'T IN MY BUDGET. THIS IS WHAT THE INTERIOR OF THE LITTLE STRUCTURE IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE PLANNED.

THAT ONE BUILDING. AND THEN LATER ADDITION. SO I THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS OF THIS APPLICANT?

>> YOU SAY YOU CAME NOT WITH THE PURPOSE OF ASKING FOR AN EXTENSION BUT YOU WANT THE CITY TO WORK WITH YOU. COULD YOU BE MORE SPECIFIC AND TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT

TO ACCOMPLISH? >> I NEED AN EXTENSION. I WAS TALKING ABOUT AN EXTENSION TO DO THIS POWERPOINT. I HAD MORE PHOTOGRAPHS, BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO PROLONG IT. YOU KNOW, ON OCCASION, I DO SCAN THE CHANNEL, AND I KNOW YOU ALL ARE FAIR, GOD FEARING PEOPLE. I KNOW THIS.

I KNOW THIS. I'VE SEEN YOU ALL MANY PLACES, YOU KNOW, SO I KNOW THAT WE ALL ARE HERE IN THE SAME PLACE FOR ONE COMMON GOAL. I GO DOWN AVENUE D AND I'M GRATEFUL TO SEE THE BEAUTIFICATION, AND I WANT TO SEE THAT RIGHT THERE ON AVENUE D. THAT'S WHY I SAID I WAS SO EXCITED UNTIL ÃI GOT OVERLY EXCITED.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION. MAN, DO YOU HAVE INSURANCE ON THIS PROPERTY NOW?

>> NO, WE DON'T. COULDN'T GET ANY AT THE TIME. NOBODY WAS LIVING THERE, SO

THAT WAS ANOTHER ISSUE. >> COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER, DID YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING EARLIER? I WAS REMINISCING BECAUSE THIS FAMILY GOES SO FAR BACK WITH MY FAMILY, AND, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO PROLONG ÃTHAT'S ALMOST LIKE A SHRINE FOR THEM. HER GRANDPARENTS AND HER PARENTS.

AND I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD DENY THEM FROM COMPLETING WHAT THEY WISH ÃWHAT THEIR WISHES

ARE. I AM JUST ONE PERSON. >> COMMISSIONER JOHNSON, DO YOU

HAVE ANYTHING? >> THANK YOU. YOU TALKED ABOUT THE BLUEPRINTS AND COMING UP WITH PLANS AND YOU MADE UP PLANS OR SPEND MONEY WITH CONTRACTOR

[00:40:06]

>> THE CONTRACTOR IS READY TO GO. HE'S READY TO GO TOMORROW IF WE GET THE PLAN, GET THAT BLUEPRINT RIGHT. AND WHEN WE WENT INITIALLY WHEN HE TOLD ME WHAT THE PRICE WAS, THAT WAS NOT IN OUR INITIAL BUDGET.

SO I WENT BACK TO MR. BENNETT WHO I KNEW ÃI THOUGHT HE DID HAVE A PLAN AT ONE TIME, BUT HE SAID HE DIDN'T HAVE IS.O HE WAS TRYING TO HELP US AND REDO IT BUT THEN I UNDERSTAND HE'S NOT HERE. YOU KNOW, HE IS NOT ABLE TO, I GUESS, DO WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO.

I'VE LEFT TWO MESSAGES FOR HIM, BUT I HAVE CALLED ANOTHER SOMEBODY WHO WAS RECOMMENDED, AND I UNDERSTAND HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD AND I'M HOPING HE WILL CONTACT ME TOMORROW.

MR. MURRAY'S SHADIER. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'D HEARD THAT NAME

>> I APPRECIATE THAT. THE REASON I'M ASKING IS THAT I'M HOPING THEY'RE GOING TO HELP AND GUIDE YOU WITH THE COST OF REHABBING A STRUCTURE THAT'S BEEN SITTING IN THE WEATHER. IT GETS EXPENSIVE. REMODELING IS EXPENSIVE.O YOU EXPECT IT TO BE A NUMBER AND JUST MULTIPLY IT BY 2 1/2 OR THREE TIMES BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST. SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S A CHALLENGE IN THIS CASE BECAUSE YOU HAVE A STRUCTURE EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS AND THE REBAR AND THIS IS AT THE CORNER OF 27.

AND MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS, WE TALK ABOUT AVENUE D A LOT AND WE WANT TO EMBRACE THE CHARACTER IN THE HISTORY AND WE BRING THAT FORWARD AND WE TALK ABOUT ALL THE TIME.

SO I WAS LOOKING THROUGH SOME OF THE PHOTOS THAT WERE SUPPLIED TODAY.

PART OF THE FENCING IS FALLING DOWN >> I ACTUALLY HAVE SOMEONE WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO DO AN ESTIMATE. SOMEBODY RAN INTO THE GATE AND I GOT A SUMMONS TO APPEAR IN COURT FOR THAT. MAY NOT GET ANY MONEY FOR THAT BUT WE WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT.

>> YOU MEAN THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT? >> SOME GUY WAS ELUDING THE POLICE AND JUMPED OUT AND HIT THE FENCE AND JUMPED OUT AND TOOK OFF.

REX MY OTHER QUESTION TO YOU WOULD BE WE ARE THINKING ABOUT HOW YOU MOVE FORWARD WITH THE DESIGN FOR THE PLAN OR REHAB STRUCTURE. HAVE YOU CONSIDERED OTHER STRUCTURES LIKE PRESERVING THE WALL TO TIE IN SOMETHING NEW WE WOULD LIKE TO BUILD THERE? HERE'S WHY I ASKED. I ASK BECAUSE TODAY'S BUILDING COLD IS A LOT DIFFERENT.

AND WHEN YOU START TO REHAB YOU START TO LOOK AT ENERGY-EFFICIENT CODES, AND YOU ARE GOING TO BE BATTLING SOME OF OUR BUILDING CODE JUST TO MAKE IT SO YOU CAN LIVE THERE AND MAKE IT AFFORDABLE WITH ELECTRIC AND WATER AND SEWER, WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE.

THE CODE IS JUST A DIFFERENT. SO I APPRECIATE THIS PICTURE BECAUSE YOU HAVE A PLAN AND YOU ARE THINKING FORWARDLY WITH WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO. SO IT'S JUST SOME

CONSIDERATIONS. >> WE HAVE TAKEN ALL OF THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.

>> I TOLD YOU BEFORE ÃI HAVE WORKED WITH CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES AND I HAVE HELPED THEM BUILD FROM THE GROUND UP. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH INTO WHAT TO DO TO HELP GET THE STRUCTURE PRESERVED AND ACTUALLY CLEANED THE WALLS, THE BRICK AND EVERYTHING.

>> AND DO YOU HAVE A TIME IN MIND THAT IF THIS COMMISSION WAS ABLE TO SAY, WE WILL GIVE YOU UNTIL A CERTAIN TIME, AND DO YOU HAVE SOMEBODY THAT COULD ABSOLUTELY EVALUATE IF IT'S

DOABLE FOR YOU AND DOABLE AT THE PRICE YOU CAN AFFORD? >> SOMEONE HAS ALREADY LOOKED AT IT AND AS I FOR STATED WE HAVE ALREADY PAID THE CONTRACTOR.

I SPOKE WITH HIM TODAY TO FIND OUT HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE HIM ONCE WE GET THE BLUEPRINTS TO GET THAT JOB DONE. AND HE TOLD ME, WELL, IT WOULD TAKE ME LONG BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE AS MUCH WORK AS HE MIGHT HAVE HAD. HE SAID WE CAN JUMP ON IT IN A

FEW DAYS OR SO. >> AND SO ÃBUT EARLIER YOU APPLIED FOR A BUILDING PERMIT

AND IT WAS NOT GRANTED BECAUSE OF EFFICIENCY? >> WE DIDN'T HAVE THE BLUEPRINT

>> AND I THOUGHT I HAD A COPY BUT I DIDN'T. I COULDN'T FIND IT.

MR. BENNETT DIDN'T HAVE ONE, SO IT WOULD BE BACK TO SQUARE ONE. >> IF THE COMMISSION WAS SO

[00:45:02]

INCLINED, HOW MUCH TIME WOULD YOU NEED? ASK IT WOULD BE FAIR.

CONSIDERING THE WEATHER AND EVERYTHING, DO YOU THINK SIX MONTHS? DO YOU THINK THAT'S TOO LONG? AND I'M SAYING THAT FOR A REASON BECAUSE OF OTHER THINGS I HAVE ENCOUNTERED IN THE PAST AND I DON'T WANT TO NOT GIVE MYSELF ENOUGH TIME AND THEN

HAVE TO COME BACK AND REQUEST ADDITIONAL TIME. >> AND I DON'T KNOW EITHER.

I JUST WANT ÃI CAN TELL YOUR HEART IS IN US. AND SO SOMETIMES WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS DOABLE AND THAT YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO DO IT.

IF YOU DON'T ÃAT SOME POINT A HARD DECISION IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE MADE IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN

>> WE ÃTO GET THIS PROJECT UP AND RUNNING. IT'S JUST THAT I WON'T BE BUILDING A REPLICA TOMORROW OR SIX MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD. THE FIRST THING WAS TO GET THIS

STRUCTURE UP TO PAR >> AND ALSO IT CAN'T DETERIORATE ANYMORE BECAUSE OUR BUILDING DEPARTMENT HAS ALREADY SAID IT'S A COMPROMISED SITUATION.

THANK YOU, VERY MUCH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE?

THIS WOULD BE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT ARE NOT SWORN IN. >> WE STILL HAVE TO SWEAR THEM AND PICK RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM TO TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH? >> I DO. >> SIGN IN FOR US, PLEASE.

STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. >> 2625 S. U.S. 1. THE ISSUE THAT I SEE WITH THIS IS THAT IS SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT. TO THE BEST OF MY MEMORY, I DIDN'T GO BACK AND LOOK. ABOUT A YEAR AGO, IN THE LAST YEAR, YOU HAD ANOTHER PROPERTY AT 13TH AND I THAT WAS IN THE SAME CONDITION AND YOU GRANTED A CONDITIONAL USE AND ALLOWED THEM ÃTHEY NEEDED A FAIR ANSWER OF CONDITIONAL USE TO LEASE OUT ÃI BELIEVE PART OF IT WAS TO A SCHOOL, TALKING ABOUT THE LAW REGENERATION CENTER AND I'M AWARE OF THAT PROPERTY BECAUSE WHEN JOHN WARD WAS HERE, WE GAVE HIM $900,000 OF OUR CITY MONEY, AND AT THAT TIME, THAT BUILDING WAS LEFT LIKE THAT, AND IT CONTINUES TO LOOK LIKE THAT.

NOW, THEY HAVE COVERED UP SOME WINDOWS, THERE'S A STAIRS THAT GOES TO HEAVEN.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT GOES. IT SITS THERE AT 13TH AND I. AND OUR TAX MONEY IS INVESTED IN THAT BUILDING. OVER $900,000 WAS GIVEN AT THE TIME BY THIS COMMISSION.

MAYBE NOT ALL OF YOU BUT SOME OF YOU. THAT BUILDING AT 13TH AND I SAT THERE FOR YEARS, BOARDED UP, OPENED UP, YOU HAVE PEOPLE LIVING AROUND THE CORNER.

YOU ALL ARE LIVING IN THE COMPOUND AND YOU HAVE ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN.

SO TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT. BUT THAT IS OUR TAX MONEY THERE. AND YOU'LL HAVE ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN.

THE MAN CAME HERE WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. YOU IGNORED THAT ISSUE, AND YOU GRANTED HIM AND PRAISED HIM AND ALL OF THE, NO REFLECTION ON JEROME BUT WHAT'S GOOD FOR ONE CITIZEN IS GOOD FOR ALL. THIS IS SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT. AND I'M SURE THIS PROPERTY, AFTER THE PRESENTATION THE LADY MADE IS IMPORTANT TO HER AS JEROME'S PROPERTY IS TO HIM AND WE HAVE PAID FOR HER PROPERTY. WE PAY FOR JEROME'S RYAN 'S PROPERTY PROBABLY SEVERAL TIMES. AND SO IT'S JUST SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT.

I'M JUST CURIOUS WHY NOW. WHAT'S THE ISSUE? WHY CAN'T WE WORK WITH THIS LADY AND HIS FAMILY THE SAME WAY WE DID? I WATCHED YOU SOMETIME BACK.

YOU HAD AT WILSON'S BAR. HE WILL CAVE 26 OR 21 OR $2600 FOR A POOL TABLE.

AT THE SAME TIME ON THE SAME COMMISSION, YOU WILL ARE GOING TO TURN THE LIGHTS OUT

[00:50:02]

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. YOUR TIME IS UP.

>> ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, PLEASE COME FORWARD.

SEEING NO ONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ENTERTAIN DISCUSSIONS.

>> I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF DISCUSSION. I WANT TO ASK PEGGY A QUESTION OR TWO. WITH REGARDS TO THIS PROCESS. AND THAT WOULD BE DID THE APPLICANT HAS INDICATED THAT SHE IS IN THE PROCESS NOW OF OBTAINING THE BLUEPRINTS.

IF IN DOING SO SHE ACCOMPLISHES THAT, WHERE WOULD THAT PUT US IN TERMS OF CONDEMNATION

PROCESS FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE? IF SHE ACCOMPLISHES DOCUMENT >> JUST FOR THE RECORD, WE HAVE SPOKEN MULTIPLE TIMES. WE WORKED TOGETHER MANY TIMES. HER CONVERSATIONS USUALLY INCLUDE SOME TYPE OF HISTORY LESSON I GET MORE HISTORY ON THE BACKGROUND OF THIS FAMILY AND THIS PROPERTY. THE PROBLEM THAT STAFF HAD IS THAT IT CAME TO A STALLED POINT. SHE NOTIFIED ME IN OCTOBER 2019 AND MR. BENNETT WAS WORKING ON THE PLANS. BUT THE REJECTION FROM THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT HAPPENED IN MAY. SO IT'S BEEN NINE OR 10 MONTHS SINCE THE REJECTION HAPPENED.

AND IF THE PERMITS HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE EVERYTHING WOULD HAVE STOPPED.

ONCE THE BUILDING PERMIT IS IMPROVED AND IN HAND AND THEY CAN START THE WORK, WE GO ON HOLD TO ALLOW FOR TIME TO DO THAT. AND IF THAT PERMIT HAD BEEN APPROVED IT WOULD'VE PROCEEDED TO THE NEXT STEP. WE ARE HERE AND THE COMMISSION CAN MAKE A DECISION AND IF SHE GETS THAT PERMIT AND IT STARTS ÃWORK STARTS HAPPENING EVERYTHING GOES ON HOLD AS LONG AS A BUILDING PERMIT REMAINS ACTIVE.

IF FOR SOME REASON WORK STARTED AGAIN WE WOULD HAVE TO REVISIT AGAIN.

AS LONG AS THAT PERMIT IS ACTIVE AND WORK IS BEING DONE, WE DON'T REPORT.

WE STOPPED. >> THAT WILL FOR THE MOST PART SO IF SHE CAN GET THAT PERMIT, I STOP. I DON'T TAKE ANY ADDITIONAL STEPS FORWARD AS LONG AS THAT PERMIT REMAINS ACTIVE JUST TO LOOK. IN ÃTHAT SHOWS UP ON THE PROPERTY APPRAISER SITE. THAT MIGHT BE A SURPRISE. I DIDN'T SEE THE EARLIER I'M SEEING IT NOW. I'M JUST CURIOUS. WAS HER PREVIOUS WORK DONE? YEARS AND YEARS AGO. THE OTHER THING ÃIF I CAN JUST SAY A FEW WORDS WHILE YOU'RE WAITING I'M A I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE UNREASONABLE TO ALLOW THE PROCESS FOR AN ENGINEER TO MOVE FORWARD THE APPLICANT HAS SAID SHE WANTS A MONO PITCH REFLECT WHAT WAS THERE BEFORE.

THAT'S PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. MY POINT IN SAYING THAT IS IT COULD TAKE NO MORE THAN 4 TO 5 WEEKS TO DO EVALUATION SET OF PRELIMINARY ÃTO REHAB A STRUCTURE LIKE THAT.

PROCURING A CONTRACTOR OR GETTING INTO THE BUILDING PROCESS.

I COULD SAY IN 60 DAYS YOU COULD HAVE APPLICATIONS SITTING IN PAUL THOMAS'S OFFICE.

THAT'S AGGRESSING. >> UNFORTUNATELY IT'S FROM 01 IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS NOT

[00:55:12]

AS DEVELOPED BACK THEN. SO THERE IS VERY LITTLE INFORMATION IN HERE BUT IT ACTUALLY SAYS DEMOLITION DUE TO CONDEMNATION. SO PERHAPS THE OWNER MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE MORE HISTORY. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS CONDEMNED BACK IN 2001.

BUT THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT IS SHOWING UP IN THE COMPUTER.

>> THANK YOU. >> CONSIDERING WHAT WE ARE DEALING WITH HERE, THEY STRUCTURE SEEMS TO BE PRETTY FAR GONE. WE HAVE BEEN CONDITIONED TO SAY THAT WILLING TO DO WHAT IT TAKES TO DO SOMETHING I WOULD BE WILLING TO SEE DAYS TO 90 DAYS OF REST WITH A CERTAIN THING NEEDED ÃA CERTAIN ACTION THAT HAS TO BE DONE BY THAT TIME. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A VALID BLUEPRINT AND BUILDING PERMIT OR CAN YOU HELPED ME, WHAT WOULD HAVE TO BE VALID AND BE DONE BY 60 TO 90 DAYS.

>> I BELIEVE 90 DAYS WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE. JUST SO THAT IF THERE WAS ÃTO OBTAIN A PERMIT. THAT WOULD BE STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS.

THAT WOULD ALLOW HOPEFULLY SOMETIME TO SUBMIT THE APPLICATION POSSIBLY TO A NEW SET OF REVISIONS AND MOVE FORWARD FROM THERE. BUT I BELIEVE 90 DAYS TO OBTAIN THE PERMIT. ONCE YOU OBTAIN THE PERMIT AS LONG AS THE PERMIT REMAINS

ACTIVE, GO ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME. >> )

>> EVERYTHING IS OKAY. >> AND TO OBTAIN THE PERMIT WE HAVE TO ÃNOT JUST ONE THING.

BUT TWO THINGS. THAT'S GOING TO BE COMPREHENSIVE.

>> YES. THEY CLEARLY UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING THEY WOULD NEED.

>> AND SO COMMISSIONERS? IS THERE A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION OR A BETTER IDEA?

>> JUST TO GET THE PERMIT. AFTER THAT WE GO FROM THERE. AND THEN IF NEED BE SHE WILL

COME UP >> IF THERE'S NO PERMIT IN 90 DAYS AND WE ARE BACK TO THIS

PARTICULAR SQUARE ONE, CORRECT? >> THERE IS A PROCESS THAT'S HERE.

I THINK COMMISSIONER JOHNSON JUMPED ON IT A LITTLE BIT. THERE IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE SOME ENGINEERING INVOLVED. THIS IS JUST SUBMITTING BLUEPRINTS AND GETTING THE STAMP FROM THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT. I DON'T THINK THAT HAPPENS

ANYMORE. I DIDN'T THINK SO. >> I THINK SOMETHING WOULD BE

MORE WORTHWHILE >> MR. MIMS, WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP US?

>> ON THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION I HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH OUR BUILDING OFFICIAL AND OUR BUILDING OFFICIAL IS THE OPINION THAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE AT LEAST ONE YEAR FROM THE TIME YOU ACQUIRE A QUALIFIED DESIGNER, ARCHITECT, STRUCTURAL ENGINEER TO COMPLETE THE PLANTS, COMPLETE THE BLUEPRINTS AND COMPLETE THE WORK. WE ARE LOOKING AT THE ONE YEAR TIMEFRAME TO COMPLETE THE WORK. SO AS FAR AS THE BLUEPRINTS, IS UP TO THE ACTUAL ARCHITECT OR STRUCTURAL ENGINEER, HOW FAST AND HOW QUALITY OF A PRODUCT THEY CAN PROVIDE.

>> I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT COMPLETING THE WORK. I'M TALKING ABOUT A GOOD FIRST

ÃEIGHT GOOD FAITH FIRST STEP >> SO BACK AT THIS I AGREE AND BUILDING ON WHAT YOU ARE SAYING THERE IS THERE'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE FROM THE APPLICANT TO KNOW ÃYOU CAN'T BRING IT IN TWO DAYS BEFORE YOUR 90 DAYS ARE UP AND EXPECT THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS. IT'S GOING TO BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICANT TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE TIMING OF HOW SENSITIVE THE SOUL IS TO BE ABLE TO HIT THE 90 DAYS. THE OTHER THING THAT I WOULD Ã I WOULD INSIST UPON IS THAT THE SITE BE SECURED IMMEDIATELY. THERE'SNOT ANY TYPE OF INSURANCE ON IT.

IT'S UNSAFE. I'M LOOKING AT IT THINKING IS UNSAFE.

KIDS WILL PLAY ON IT. I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A KID I LOVED PLAYING IN VACANT BUILDINGS. I WAS FASCINATED WITH IT. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO SECURE THE PROPERTY IMMEDIATELY AND I WOULD SUPPORT A 90 DAY PERMIT IN HAND IN 90 DAYS

>> EXCUSE ME JUST ONE SECOND FROM WHAT OUR CITY MANAGER IS SAYING WE ARE SETTING UP TO

[01:00:05]

FAIL IF IT'S GOING TO TAKE A YEAR FOR THE COMPLETION.O I'M THINKING MORE ALONG THE LINES OF AT LEAST FOUR MONTHS. REALISTICALLY. THAT'S JUST FOR PURPOSES OF OBTAINING THE PERMIT, NOT TO INCLUDE COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION.

WE NEED AT LEAST FOUR IF I CAN PERMIT IN HAND, THE PERMIT GOES, I THINK, SIX MONTHS, AND THEN YOU HAVE ANY TYPE OF ACTION ON TOP OF THAT AND IT EXTENDS BACK ON AND ON.

THIS THING COULD GO ON FOR TWO YEARS. NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO Ã THERE'S A LOT OF HURDLES SO THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE MADE IN THE NEXT I WOULD SAY 45 DAYS TO BE ABLE TO GET THIS PERMIT DONE IN TIME, AND IF THOSE HURDLES ARE ACCOMPLISHED AND THE PAPERWORK AND BLUEPRINTS, WHATEVER, ENGINEERING DRAWINGS ALL OF THE SPECS AND EVERYTHING ELSE ARE SUBMITTED TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT IN A TIMELY FASHION THAT'S GOING TO BE THE TELLTALE OF EVERYTHING.

IT SEEMS LIKE IF THEY HAVE THIS KNOWLEDGE AND DESIGN FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, SO IT'S NOT JUST SOMETHING THEY ACQUIRED YESTERDAY AT ANY TIME TO GET GOING.

THIS HAS BEEN AN INVENTION. IT'S BEEN THOUGHT THROUGH. THERE'S MONEY THAT'S BEEN EXTENDED. THE PROCESS JUST NEEDS TO HAVE TIMESTAMPS ON IT.

I AM WILLING TO SUPPORT A 90 DAY TWO PERMIT. >> PLATINUM MAYOR, I WANT TO CLARIFY. THIS IS A QUALIFIED JUDICIAL HEARING SO I WANT TO CLARIFY SOMETHING THAT WAS TESTIFIED TO US FIRST LEGAL PROCESS IN CLARIFY THAT BECAUSE MR. RAY UNDER OATH SENT IT'S THE PATTERN AND PRACTICE AND PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, PATTERN AND PRACTICE NOT TO CONTINUE WITH CONDEMNATION IF A BUILDING PERMIT IS OPEN AND ACTIVE. HOWEVER, THERE'S NOTHING IN THE TOAD THAT PREVENTS THE CONDEMNATION FROM CONTINUING ON EVEN IN LIGHT OF A BUILDING PERMIT BE ISSUED AND OPEN AS THIS COMMISSION IS AWARE THERE'S ANOTHER PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY THAT HAS HAD THAT EXACT SITUATION GO ON FOR MANY YEARS. SO I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT AS TO SOME OF THE COMMENTS THERE'S NO LEGAL PROHIBITION TO PREVENT THAT FROM CONTINUING IN THE

CONDEMNATION PROCESS. >> IF I COULD ÃTHE CONDEMNATION STATUS WOULD NOT

CHANGE. >> THE PROPERTY WOULD REMAIN UNDER THE CONDEMNED STATUS UNTIL IT'S INSPECTED BY BUILDING INSPECTOR AND THEY SAY IT'S NO LONGER CONDEMNED.

BUT IT'S THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS THAT I DO THAT I HAVE BEEN TASKED WITH TO MOVE FORWARD THING AT A CERTAIN POINT I NEED TO COME TO THE COMMISSION AND RECOMMEND DEMOLITION BECAUSE NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. SO THE DEMOLITION PROCESS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS TOWARDS DEMOLITION WOULD STOP WITH THE ISSUANCE OF A PERMIT.

THE CONDEMNATION STATUS STAYS INTO THE BUILDING INSPECTOR EXPECTS IT AND SAYS THAT IT'S NOT LOVABLE. SO THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE PIECES Ã

>> AND I APPRECIATE ÃAND I Ã AT LEAST I CAN SEE THAT THIS STRUCTURE HAS BEEN VERY, VERY COMPROMISED STATE, AND IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LOT TO GET IT. AND I KNOW YOU HAVE MADE SEVERAL EXTENSIONS, MORE THAN SEVERAL. SO THERE HAVE BEEN GOOD FAITH EFFORTS ON THE APPLICANT PROSPECT PARK TO PULL IT ALL TOGETHER AND IT HASN'T HAPPENED. AND THAT MAY HAPPEN THIS TIME. I AM INCLINED TO MAKE THIS ONE LAST EFFORT BEFORE WE PROCEED ON IT. THAT'S WHAT I'M INCLINED TO.

SO I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR A REALISTIC TIMEFRAME. YOU THOUGHT 90 DAYS WAS NOT A

REALISTIC TIMEFRAME? >> MCNAMARA, IT'S NOT REALISTIC.

IT'S ALL BASED UPON ACQUIRING THE SERVICES OF A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL EITHER STRUCTURAL ENGINEER AND IN THE TIEBREAK IT TAKES ARCHITECT TO COMPLETE THE PLANS, SUBMIT THE PLANS AND HAVE THEM REVIEWED BY OUR DEPARTMENT AND ANY OTHER DEPARTMENT AND THEN ISSUING THE PERMIT. SO 90 DAYS, I THINK IS A LITTLE TIGHT, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO SAY IT CAN'T BE DONE. BUT CONSERVATIVELY I THINK MAYBE THE NEIGHBOR OF 100 TO 120 DAYS, FOUR MONTHS WOULD BE A LITTLE MORE CONSERVATIVE TO COMPLETE THE DESIGN AND GET THE BLUEPRINTS READY, SUBMIT AND HAVE A BUILDING PERMIT ISSUED AND IN HAND OF THE OWNER.

>> I MAKE THAT MOTION. >> I HAVE A QUESTION. >> YOU MADE THE MOTION.

DID SOMEBODY WANT TO SECOND IT? COMMISSIONER JOHNSON. >> THANK YOU.

MR. HOW LONG IS IT TAKING US TO ISSUE RESIDENTIAL PERMITS FOR SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES?

[01:05:04]

>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TOP OF MY HEAD. >> AND I HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR AND IT MAKES SENSE. I JUST KEEP GOING BACK TO WHAT I SAW IN THE RECORD CARD AND SOME OTHER HISTORY ON THE PROPERTY. MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS ARE ALWAYS ASKING US TO FOCUS ON AND HELP WITH THE AVENUE D COURT ORDER.

I THINK IF IT'S AN AGGRESSIVE APPROACH, 30 DAYS FOR A PROFESSIONAL MAYBE EVEN 45 AND 45 DAYS FOR PERMIT APPLICATION AND REVIEW AND SITTING DOWN WITH STAFF IF THERE'S A QUESTION OR AN RFI OR QUESTIONS A PROFESSIONAL HAS TO ANSWER BACK TO THE PLAN REVIEWER.

I MEAN, THERE'S A MOTION, AND I DIDN'T HEAR YOU MAKE THE MOTION ON HOW MANY DAYS.

>> FOUR MONTHS. >> 120 >> WHATEVER FOUR MONTHS EQUATES

TO. >> ONE THING THAT REALLY MOTIVATES ME IS THE MENTION OF MR. ÃMAURICE. TAKING ON THIS PROJECT, I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR ALONG YOU ARE ON THAT, BUT I KNOW HE'S INTO DOING THESE KINDS OF THINGS, PERFORMING MIRACLES WITH THINGS THAT APPEAR TO BE IMPOSSIBLE. HE IS FROM THIS COMMUNITY AND HAS TAKEN ON THIS PROJECT AND HAS PROBABLY GOT GOOD RECOMMENDATIONS AND I KNOW IF HE'S GOING TO BE INVOLVED, IT WILL GET DONE. I TRULY AND REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT BASED ON HIS HISTORY AND WHAT HE'S DONE FOR THIS AREA IN TERMS OF REVITALIZING. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT YOU SAY NO WAY. MAURICE CAN TACKLE IT. HE WILL BRING ALL THE PARTS

PTOGETHER. >> I WOULD ASK THE MOTION COULD ALSO INCLUDE THE SECURING OF THE PROPERTY AND FIXING THE FENCE AND MAKING SURE THAT THE PROPERTY IS SUSTAINABLE.

>> MAKING THEM PRESENTABLE AND LOOKING AT EVERYBODY ELSE BECAUSE THAT'S AN AREA WE WORK

WITH THE THIRD >> ON THE OFF CHANCE SHE DOES NOT COMPLY WITH ANY FORM

NECESSARY DATE CERTAIN TO BRING THIS BACK TO THE COMMISSION >> SHORT.

WHAT IS THAT DATE? >> ABSOLUTELY. THAT WOULD BE

>> THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH. 120 DAYS OF THE NEXT MEETING AFTER THAT, I SUPPOSE.

>> SOMETIME IN JUNE >> I WILL FIND IT IN JUST A SECOND.

COMMISSIONER JOHNSON, I BELIEVE, WAS CURIOUS BECAUSE THE QUESTION TO ADD THE AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION ALSO SHOULD BE SECONDED. SO THAT'S DEFERRED TO THE

COMMISSIONER. >> >> IT'S SECURE.

>> SECURE ÃCOMMISSIONER, WAS IT THAT YOU COMMIT >> ARE MORE COMMITTED TO THE

MOTION MAKER AND THE MOTION MAKER AGREED. >> I JUST WANTED TO CLEAR THE

RECORD >> I APOLOGIZE. 120 DAYS FROM NOW WILL BE THURSDAY, JUNE 18, SO THE QUESTION IS, WOULD YOU WANT TO MOVE TO THE NEXT REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING AFTER THAT AND THAT WOULD HAVE TIME TO ALSO KNOW ÃIT WOULD BE EARLY JULY, BUT THAT WILL ALSO GIVE YOU TIME TO UNDERSTAND WHETHER OR NOT 120 DAYS HAS BEEN MET AND THEREFORE ANY OTHER ISSUES. YOU WOULD HAVE SEVERAL DAYS BUILT AND AFTER THE FACT.

>> OKAY. >> AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO MAKE SURE IS THAT THE APPLICANT UNDERSTANDS WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO BY THE FIRST MEETING IN JULY.

AND SO SOMEBODY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EXPLAINING ALL OF THE DETAILS OF WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO. BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS TO OBTAIN THE PERMIT BY JULY 6.

>> RIGHT. >> IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO UNDERSTAND HOW MANY DAYS IT'S

TAKING TO REVIEW THE PLAN. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT DAVIS WRIGHT >> IT WILL BE JUNE 18.

>> WHAT DATE DID YOU SAY? >> JUNE 18 IS 120 DAYS FROM TODAY TO BE BROUGHT BACK AT A

HEARING POTENTIALLY ON JULY 6, 2020. >> IF NOT COMPLY.

IF COMPLIED WE WILL BRING IT BACK. >> GENTLEMEN YOU CAN TELL ME TO SOME DEGREE WE COULD ENTERTAIN WHAT HE WANTED TO SAY HE MAY BE ABLE TO HELP YOU OUT.

[01:10:10]

BECAUSE THE PROCEDURE DOESN'T ALLOW US BUT HE MIGHT BE VERY HELPFUL.

THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT. LET'S VOTE.

[b. Legislative Hearing - Ordinance No. 20-004 - An ordinance amending the Future Land Use of four parcels at or near 2152 S Jenkins Road from Medium Density Residential (RM) to High Density Residential (RH). FIRST READING]

ORDINANCE BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE, FLORIDA AMENDING THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO CHANGE THE DESIGNATION OF FOUR PARCELS GENERALLY LOCATED AT OR NEAR 2152 SOUTH JENKINS ROAD FROM CITY OF DENSITY RESIDENTIAL RM TO CITY OF FORT PIERCE HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL RH PROVIDING FOR OPERABILITY CLAUSE PROVIDING FOR A REPEAL OF ORDINANCES OR PARTS IN CONFLICT IN PROVIDING FOR AN

EFFECTIVE DATE. THIS IS THE FIRST WRITING. >> WELCOME BACK.

>> THANK YOU. MADAME MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, BEFORE YOU DECIDE THE FUTURE LAND USE AMENDMENT FOR FOUR PROPERTIES LOCATED AT APPROXIMATELY 2152 SOUTH JENKINS ROAD. THE CURRENT VIGILANTES ON THE PROPERTY IS RM MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A FUTURE LAND USE CHANGE FOR THE FOUR PARCELS FROM RM MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO OUR AGE HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST AS IT IS CONSISTENT WITH SURROUNDING FUTURE LAND USES. IT IS CONSISTENT WITH SECTION 20 FEBRUARY 1, 2021 IN THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN DOES NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, CONVENIENCE AND GENERAL WELFARE OF THE LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY HAS RECOMMENDED APPROVAL UPON THE REQUEST.

SO THE PURPOSE FUTURE LAND USE JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA WOULD BE OUR AGE HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL. THERE ARE TWO OTHER PARCELS THAT ABOUT THIS PROPERTY THAT ALSO HAVE OUR AGE HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL USE AND WHAT ADDITIONAL INTO THE SELF THAT IS NOT ABOUT THE PARCEL. POSSIBLE ACTION YOU CAN APPROVE THE REQUEST TO HAVE THIS ITEM TRANSMITTED TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOR REVIEW OF STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THE LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY IS RECOMMENDING HER APPROVAL OR YOU CAN DISPROVE THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TRANSMITTAL TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA. I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS

YOU MAY HAVE. THANK YOU. >> ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF?

>> YES. I'M SORRY. CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE MAP AND SHOW ME THE EXISTING ZONING? WHAT'S THE STRUCTURE TO THE SOUTH OF US PARCEL COMMIT

>> THAT IS A SCHOOL. >> OKAY. >> IT WAS RECENTLY ANNEXED AND

FROM THE COUNTY. >> ALL RIGHT. AND THEN TO THE NORTH OF THIS

PARCEL WE HAVE MEDIUM DENSITY? >> GUESS >> AS INDICATED HERE AND INTO

THE NORTH ABOUT HIS WHAT DEVELOPMENT COMMIT >> CELEBRATION POINT.

>> AND WHAT IS THE ZONING IN THE FUTURE >> [BLEEP] DEE PLANT DEVELOPMENT AND FUTURE LAND USE IS OUR DUTY. THEY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 744

UNITS WITHIN THAT DEVELOPMENT. >> RIGHT. SO THIS REQUEST WE HAVE AN IDENTITY REQUEST. WHAT'S IT GOING TO DO TODAY PARCEL THE CITY TO THE EAST OF THIS? I MEAN, IT FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO ISOLATE A MEDIUM

DENSITY BY ITSELF. THERE IS A SQUARE PARCEL THERE. >> WE HAD AN APPLICATION MEETING A FEW MONTHS AGO ABOUT THE THREE PARCELS I'M GOING TO POINT OUT RIGHT HERE AND THEN THIS ONE TO THE NORTH. PRELIMINARILY, THE WOULD LIKE TO DO MULTIFAMILY HOUSING WITH THAT AREA AND THEY WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PUTTING IN A ROAD INTO THAT DEVELOPMENT.

THIS ROADWAY RIGHT HERE IS UNIMPROVED COUNTY ROAD. IT EVENTUALLY WAS SUPPOSED TO GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH TOWARDS THIS AND LINCOLN TO MISS THE FANEUIL STREET

>> THERE IS A CANAL THERE AT A WATER FEATURE AND STRUCTURE >> THEY WOULD HAVE TO GET OVER

THE CANAL. >> RIGHT. THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE IS ABOUT THE ZONING DISTRICT ITSELF. SO THERE IS A REQUEST HERE FOR THE HIGH DENSITY. TALK TO ME ABOUT THE ZONING DISTRICT.

WHAT ÃTHE DENSITY IS THE HEIGHT. WHAT HAPPENS WITH THIS

DISTRICT? >> BASED OFF OF THE REQUEST WHICH YOU WILL HEAR ASK FOR THE R5, THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT IN THE R5 COULD BE 200 FEET, HOWEVER, DENSITY WILL ALWAYS BE HEIGHT,

[01:15:03]

SO MOST LIKELY THERE WILL NEVER BE A BUILDING THAT WOULD GO 200 FEET TALL BECAUSE THE DENSITY ON THE PARCEL WOULD NOT ALLOW IT TO GO 200 FEET TALL. CURRENTLY UNDER THE R FOR ZONING DISTRICT IT HAS A MAX OF 12 UNITS PER ACRE FOR AN INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT.

10 UNITS PER ACRE PER YEAR CONVENTIONAL DEVELOPMENT. IF IT WERE TO GO TO HER OR FIVE YOU COULD HAVE A MAX OF 10 UNITS PER ACRE. IS THERE ANY BONUS DENSITIES IF

THEY CONSIDER FEATURES IF THE OWNER WANTED Ã >> THERE IS A BONUS DENSITY IF YOU ARE WITHIN ONE FOURTH MILE OF A TRANSIT STOP YOU CAN REQUEST UP TO THREE ADDITIONAL

UNITS PER ACRE IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE OF THE CRA DISTRICT. >> THAT'S WHAT I WAS GETTING TO. SAY THAT ONE AGAIN WHAT'S IF YOU'RE OUTSIDE OF A CRA DISTRICT YOU CAN REQUEST UP TO THREE ADDITIONAL UNITS. IF YOU ARE WITHIN THE CRA YOU GET FIVE ADDITIONAL UNITS. IF YOU ARE WITHIN ONE FOURTH MILE OF A TRAIN STOP.

>> ALL RIGHT. AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL, RIGHT?

>> YES. >> OKAY. I KNOW WE ARE ALWAYS ENCOURAGING AND WE ENCOURAGED A LOT OF INFILL AND DEVELOPMENT WITHIN OUR CRA.

HOW CLOSE IS THE CRA BOUNDARY TO THIS? >> I BELIEVE IT STOPS AROUND

25TH ST. WEST 33RD. >> SO WE ARE A LITTLE WAYS AWAY FROM THE CRA AT LEAST AT THIS

POINT. >> ALL RIGHT. THAT'S GOOD FOR NOW.

THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM STAFF? OKAY. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. ANYONE WISHING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, PLEASE COME FORWARD. WELCOME. SIGN IN AND STATE YOUR NAME AND

ADDRESS FOR US, PLEASE. >> FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS DENNIS MURPHY.

THE FIRM OF CULPEPPER & TERPENING IN FORT PIERCE AND I'M HERE REPRESENTING THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY ALONG JENKINS ROAD AND YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOUR PETITION FOR CHANGE IN LAND USE IN A PETITION FOR CHANGE IN ZONING. THE FIRST READING FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTIES. AS BRANDON POINTED OUT IN REGARD TO THE FUTURE LAND USE PETITION ÃI'M GOING TO KEEP MY COMMENTS SEPARATE ON THIS BECAUSE OF THE WAY THIS IS STRUCTURED. IT'S QUASIJUDICIAL. AS BRANDON POINTED OUT THIS IS A PETITION TO AMEND THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION FROM RM TO OUR AGE TO PERMIT THE MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT CONSISTENT WITH THE OTHER DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AREA.

EVERY INDICATION THAT MY CLIENT IS GIVEN HE IS HE HAS NO INTENTION OF BUILDING A 200 FOOT HIGH BUILDING. IT WOULD BE SOMETHING MORE AKIN TO WHAT YOU WOULD SEE DOWN THE STREET AND ACROSS OVER BEHIND US A LITTLE TO THE SOUTHEAST. FOR THIS PARTICULAR MATTER, THIS IS THE FIRST OF TWO REQUIRED STOPS THAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH UNDER THE REVIEW PROCESS. ONCE ÃASSUMING IT LEAVES YOU WITH A POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION AND I SINCERELY HOPE THAT IT DOES. IT'S MYUNDERSTANDING WILL GO TO THE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY FOR A REVIEW AND THEN BACK HERE IN ABOUT 60 DAYS Ã90 DAYS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR FINAL ACTION AND FINAL REVIEW.

I AM OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE, AND I'M AWARE THERE MAY BE SOME COMMENTS OR SOME CONCERNS, SOME BROADER COMMUNITY CONCERNS THAT AFFECT THIS AND OTHER PROPERTIES ALONG THE JENKINS ROAD CORRIDOR THAT I JUST MAY HAPPEN TO BE THE UNFORTUNATE OR FORTUNATE DEPENDING UPON YOUR POINT OF VIEW CATALYST TO BRING THEM ALL FORWARD FOR FURTHER COMMUNITY DISCUSSION. RESPECTFULLY, I WOULD ASK YOU FORWARD THIS ON FOR FURTHER REVIEW AND COMMENT AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS OR MAJOR ISSUES OR MINOR ISSUES OR ANY ISSUES THAT COME UP OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.

>> ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? >> YOU HEARD SOME OF MY QUESTIONS. JUST LOOKING AT THE CORRIDOR ITSELF ON JENKINS ROAD IS GOING TO CHANGE IN THE NEXT 15 YEARS, AS WE ALL KNOW. YOU KNOW, WE HAD A SCHOOL ADJACENT TO THE PARCEL, AND I'M JUST LOOKING LONG TERM. WHY NOT JUST COME FORWARD WITH

A [BLEEP] DEE INSTEAD OF TRYING TO CHANGE THE ZONING? >> ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THIS ITEM FOR THE NEXT ITEM? I DON'T KNOW WHICH DOOR TO GO THROUGH.

I WILL PROBABLY ASK AT THE WAY THE NEXT TIME >> HOW ABOUT I ANSWER THEM.

>> OKAY. >> SO YOU HAVE GIVEN A PRESENTATION.

IS IT CONSISTENT FOR THE CORRIDOR TO ASK FOR THIS? >> I BELIEVE IT IS.

I BELIEVE THE JENKINS RECORDER REPRESENTS ÃIF YOU TAKE THE COUNTY MAP OUT AND YOU GO LOOK TO SEE WHERE JENKINS ROAD LOGICALLY SHOULD START AND WHERE IT SHOULD LOGICALLY END,

[01:20:01]

YOU GOT A PRETTY LONG ARTERIAL CORRIDOR THAT TRAVERSES THE BULK OF THE CENTER PART OF THE COUNTY. IT'S NOT A LOCAL ROAD. IT IS A MAJOR NORTH-SOUTH ARTERY THAT HASN'T DEVELOPED YET. IT EVENTUALLY WOULD CONNECT TO THE AIRPORT AND CONNECT INTO THE INDUSTRIAL AREAS DOWN THE ROAD.

IT HAS POTENTIAL FOR CONNECTIONS TO I-95 AT MIDWAY POTENTIAL THE TURNPIKE AT MIDWAY CLEARLY I-95 AT OKEECHOBEE, THE TURNPIKE AT OKEECHOBEE.

ORANGE AVENUE AND WORKING YOUR WAY UP TO THE AIRPORT EXTENSION CORRIDORS AS THEY MOVE WEST OUT TOWARDS THE TURNPIKE AND THE INTERSTATE. YOU'VE GOT A COURT ORDER.

IT'S NOT A LOW-DENSITY COURT ORDER. IS IT A STRIP COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR? HELL NO. LET ME BE BLUNT ABOUT THAT.

I AM NOT Ã >> WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE FOR ME TOO, PLEASE.

>> EXCUSE ME. I AM NOT AN ADVOCATE IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM FOR STRIP COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. SOME KIND OF COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY.

WE USE THE TERM HIGH DENSITY. I THINK A LITTLE MORE LIBERALLY, IF THAT'S THE RIGHT WAY TO DO IT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT NUMBERS IN OUR AREA. HIGH TO US IN THE TREASURE COAST AREA, HIGH DENSITY, IS SOMETHING MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES TO THE ACRE COULD YOU GO INTO A TRUE URBAN ENVIRONMENT OR A TRUE SUBURBAN DEVELOPING ENVIRONMENT IDENTITY IS A LOT HIGHER THAN THAT. IT'S NOT THAT SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT DENSITY OR INTENSITY WHEN YOU ARE WORKING WITH WALKED UP TO HER THREE-STORY TYPE BUILDINGS AND YOU GET INTO FOUR, FIVE, SEVEN, EIGHT AND NINE THE NUMBERS ARE DIFFERENT.

AND THEN YOU HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AND SEE IS THAT KIND OF DEVELOPMENT APPROPRIATE THROUGH HERE HI AND I THINK THE ANSWER IS CLEARLY NO. WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT WHAT REALLY GOVERNS WHAT GOES ON THE PROPERTY IS ULTIMATELY WHAT SITS THERE.

AND WHAT FITS TRANSLATE BACK INTO WHAT IT COSTS TO BUILD AS MUCH AS WE DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT, IT IS A KEY FACTOR IN DEVELOPMENT AND DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS.

WHAT DOES IT COST TO COME OUT AND BUILD THIS PARTICULAR STRUCTURE.

AND THE LAND ECONOMICS ARE SUCH THAT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET MUCH MORE THAN A THREE-STORY ABF ARCHITECTURALLY INTERESTING FOUR-STORY HERE AND THERE. BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT.

SO IT'S STAGE AND YOU GO ANYWHERE AROUND THE STATE OF FLORIDA OR ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY YOU WILL SEE A GARDEN APARTMENT TYPE COMMUNIIES SIMILAR IN NATURE TO THAT.

GO INTO TRADITION AND THE NUMBER OF APARTMENTS THAT ARE BEING CONSTRUCTED GATHER OVER THE LAST COUPLE ÃTHE LAST YEAR OR SO. YOU SEE WHAT YOU CAN HAVE THERE. AND THE OTHER PART OF IT IS WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT Ã IT'S MORE OF A STATEMENT OF UNFORTUNATE ECONOMIC REALITIES, THERE IS A GROWING AND CONTINUING SHIFT TO ATTACH AND MULTIFAMILY HOUSING IS BEING ESSENTIALLY AFFORDABLE.

I'M NOT TALKING ÃI'M TALKING FROM AN AFFORDABLE TYPE OF HOUSING UNIT.

THE HOUSE THAT WE GREW UP IN WITH THE CONCEPT OF THE ATTACHED SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE AND A LARGE SIZED LOT IT IS BECOMING MORE DIFFICULT ECONOMICALLY TO ACHIEVE EVERY DAY. FOR REASONS THAT GO WELL BEYOND ALL OF THIS, IT IS WHAT WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT GIVES YOU AN ANSWER OR AN OPINION OR

A COMBINATION OR BOTH. >> IT DOES, AND I APPRECIATE IT.

LOOKING AT THE BROADER SCOPE OF THE CORRIDOR AND TRYING TO FIT IT ALL IN AND ALL THE PARTS AND PIECES. YOU KNOW, IT IS THE FUTURE LAND USE.

SO IT'S JUST IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT IT AND GO TO THE COMMUNITY.

IF THERE'S ANYONE HERE THAT'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT >> OF THE STATE PUBLIC SCHOOL

NEXTAR? >> THIS IS SAM GAINES. >> OKAY.

AND SO IN THE PROCESS OF THE PERSON, THE OWNER, IS GOING TO BE DEVELOPING IT AT SOME POINT WOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE TRAFFIC IMPACTS AND THE SCHOOL IMPACTS WOULD HAVE TO DO HAT?

>> YES. BECAUSE WHEN WE COME IN FOR FINAL DEVELOPMENT ORDER, THE ACTUAL AUTHORIZATION, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO THE STANDARD CITY AND REVIEW PROCESS OR THE PLANT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS OR WHATEVER PROCESS WE GO UNDER THAT COMES IN AND ASSESSES ALL OF OUR SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT TYPE OF IMPACTS.

AND OUR OBLIGATION TO MITIGATE WHATEVER OUR IMPACTS ARE, WE UNDERSTAND THAT.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? >> THANK YOU, VERY MUCH.

ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, COME FORWARD. I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE COMING FORWARD.IMON FOR US, PLEASE, AND THEN STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

[01:25:06]

>> YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES WITH A THREE SECOND WARNING. >> I AM GLAD SHE TOLD YOU THAT.

PROCEED. YES. I AM HERE ÃLESLIE OLSON PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR FOR ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FOR THE RECORD.

I'M JUST HERE THIS EVENING ON BEHALF OF THE COUNTY ON JENKINS ROAD AS A COURT ORDER.

IT IS A COUNTY ROAD. WE HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE TO SEE A LOT DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS ON JENKINS ROAD OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. DURING THE BOOM WE HAD SOME DEVELOPMENT THAT IS BEING BUILT. WE ARE FORTUNATE TO BE SEEN CELEBRATION POINTS BEING BUILT OUT. CANDOR OUTDOORS IS BEING BUILT OUT. WE ARE SEEING A LOT OF ACTIVITY HAPPENING ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF OKEECHOBEE BEING BUILT OUT. AND SO WHAT I AM HERE TO DO TODAY IS TO ASK THAT PRIOR TO THE SECOND READING OF THIS ORDINANCE, AFTER IT GOES UP TO THE STATE FOR REVIEW AND IT COMES BACK, I AM ASKING THAT WE CAN PLEASE EVALUATE THE FULL TRIP ÃTHE FULL TRIP NOT ONLY WHAT IS EXISTING TODAY ON JENKINS REST, BUT ALSO THOSE APPROVED TRIPS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED OVER TIME YET NOT BUILT OUT. SUCH AS CELEBRATION POINT, CANDOR OUTDOORS, WHISPERING OAKS, OTHER DEVELOPMENTS PERHAPS ON THE SOUTH SIDE THAT NEED TO BE EVALUATED KOA, AND THOSE IMPACTS ON THE JENKINS ROAD CORRIDOR.

ASK THE COUNTY ÃAS THIS IS OUR ROADWAY TO MAINTAIN, WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP TO EVALUATE ALL OF THESE THINGS THOROUGHLY AT THE TIME THAT WE PROVIDE THESE ENTITLEMENTS FOR THIS DENSITY AND FOR THESE EXTRA TRIPS. WE ARE ÃWE HAVE PURSUED A STUDY TO DETERMINE WHEN WE CAN EXPECT THE ROAD TO FAIL ITS LEVEL OF SERVICE GIVEN ITS CURRENT ENTITLEMENTS, NOT EXTRA ONCE, BUT JUST EXISTING ONES. AND WE HAVE PROVIDED THOSE.

THE STUDY TO THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND WE ARE ALSO PURSUING FUNDING TO EXTEND JENKINS ROAD AS A MAJOR ARTERIAL AS MR. MURPHY IDENTIFIED.

ALL THE WAY SOUTH TO MIDWAY. AND SO THIS IS GOING TO BE A MAJOR NORTH-SOUTH CORRIDOR FOR US, BUT WE DO NEED TO EVALUATE THOSE IMPACTS AS WE GO FORWARD AND AS WE IDENTIFY EACH INDIVIDUAL PROJECT BECAUSE AT SOME POINT, THE LEVEL OF SERVICE DOES FAIL.

THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT. ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? PLEASE COME FORWARD. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ENTERTAIN DISCUSSION. I HAVE A QUESTION. DIDN'T WE HAVE AN ISSUE BEFORE US THAT DEALT WITH IMPACTS ON THIS ROAD AND IT WAS A SCHOOL THAT WAS ON JENKINS ROAD? WASN'T THAT IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MEETINGS? AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT WAS THERE WAS A STUDY THAT I THINK CAME FROM THE COUNTY THAT TALKED ABOUT THE IMPACTS OF DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND WE WERE WONDERING WHY THIS ROAD WHICH WAS SO FAR AWAY FROM THIS PARTICULAR SCHOOL PLAYED INTO IT. SO I AM WONDERING IF THAT IS WHAT THE SPEAKER WAS TALKING PABOUT, ABOUT THE TRAFFIC STUDY. DO WE HAVE THAT TRAFFIC STUDY?

> OKAY. >> THAT'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS, I KNOW.

SORRY. >> I THINK YOU ADEQUATELY SUMMED UP WHAT OCCURRED.

I BELIEVE IT WAS OUR LAST COMMISSION MEETING. THERE WAS A CHARTER SCHOOL, AND THAT SCHOOL HAD SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT ST. LUCIE COUNTY WAS ASKING OF THEM WITH REGARD TO THE INTERSECTION OF SALVAS AND EDWARDS. AS FAR AS JENKINS ROAD, I BELIEVE THEY WERE AMENABLE TO THIS OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENTS. I AM NOT QUITE SURE IF WE HAVE THAT STUDY. LOOKS LIKE JEN IS SHAKING HER HEAD.

>> WE DID RECEIVE THAT TODAY. >> I DO AGREE. I SAW LESLIE COME UP AND SHE TALKED ABOUT HAVING A JOINT APPROACH. WE DO NEED TO HAVE A JOINT PLANNING APPROACH. WE NEED TO LOOK AT THIS FROM THE ASPECT OF DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH AND ROADWAY CAPACITY. I THINK WE NEED TO START TAKING A HARD LOOK AT JENKINS ROAD

[01:30:04]

BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE THE FUTURE OF THAT WESTERN NORTH-SOUTH CORRIDOR, AND WE'VE GOT TO GET ON TOP OF IT RIGHT NOW. I THINK WITH THE COUNTY ABOUT TO SPEND ALL THE MONEY THEY WILL SPEND ON JENKINS ROAD THE LEAST WE CAN DO IS GIVE THEM

THE INFORMATION >> THE TPO HAS GOT IT ON THE DRAWING BOARD.

TPO. >> MADAME MAYOR, IF I MAY JUST ADD TO THAT THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE OUR FIRST JOINT MEETING WITH THE COUNTY ON MARCH 6 WILL BEAR GOING TO BE LOOKING AT A MORE COOPERATIVE APPROACH TO A TRAFFIC PLAN LOOKING AT PERHAPS CONCEPTS FOR CREATING ALTERNATIVES FOR OUR ROADWAY NETWORK MORE OF A GRID PATTERN IN SOME OF OUR DEVELOPING PATTERNS SO TRAFFIC DOESN'T ALWAYS HAVE TO ENTER AND EXIT ON TWO MAJOR HIGHWAYS.

>> AND IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, WE HAVE SOMEBODY IN THE COUNTY AND THE AUDIENCE MIGHT BE PAYING ATTENTION IS WHAT WE FELT ÃAT LEAST FOR THAT CHARTER SCHOOL WAS THE IMPACTS BUT IT WAS PASKED TO DO SEEMS TO BE ALL ON MAN EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS OTHER DEVELOPERS THAT COULD HAVE

SHARED IN THE COST OF THOSE DEDICATIONS. >> I HAVE SENT SUBSEQUENT TO THAT MEETING THERE HAS BEEN DISCUSSION WITH PETITIONER FOR THE CHARTER SCHOOL AND THERE'S

A FAIR SHARE. >> GOOD. I APPRECIATE THAT.

>> I DIDN'T HEAR THAT. FAIR SHARE OF WHAT? >> EXCUSE ME.

THE CHARTER SCHOOL REPRESENTATIVES, WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE COUNTIES REQUIREMENTS REQUESTED CONDITIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT AND THE PETITIONER HAS ACCEPTED TO TAKE SOME

RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROVIDING FUNDS FOR THAT INTERSECTION. >> AT A FAIR SHARE.

>> CORRECT.> OKAY. MADAME MAYOR, Y QUESTION IS, YOU KNOW, I WELCOME THESE DEVELOPERS THAT'S COMING IN TO THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE AND NOT PORT ST. LUCIE BECAUSE WE NEED TO GROW. AND SO OUR TAXES DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE ROOF.

IT SEEMS AS THOUGH EVERY TIME WE WELCOME ONE DEVELOPER, WE DENY ANOTHER.

AND I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY MY CITY CAN'T GROW. AND IF I SAID HERE IT WOULD BE ON THE SIDE OF THE NON-GROWTH, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SAYING IT ON PURPOSE.

>> ANOTHER THING, I APPRECIATE BEING UP ON THE COUNTIES RADAR BECAUSE THINGS ARE ABOUT TO HAPPEN. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS REAL HARD, BUT I GIVE SOME THOUGHT TO WHAT COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER IS SAYING. I DON'T WANT TO SCARE ANYBODY OFF. AND WE KNOW THAT EVERYBODY HAS TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE.

WE WALKED A THIN LINE BECAUSE THEY CAN GO OTHER PLACES. HE USED TO WORK HERE.

FT. PIERCE IS FINALLY GETTING SOME ATTENTION. AND PEOPLE ARE COMING HERE BUILDING. A PRIME EXAMPLE, WE HAVE MORE PERMITS PULLED HERE THAN IN THE HISTORY OF THE CITY. IT'S AS A RESULT OF THE STAFF AND THE ARTWORK AND THE POTENTIAL THAT OUR CITY HAS. I JUST WANT US TO BE CAREFUL WITH HOW WE ÃDO NOT DEPRECIATE AGAIN WE WILL DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO BUT LET'S NOT THERE THERE SCARE PEOPLE OFF.

I BELIEVE IT'S WHAT WE ALL WANT MS GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT AND TAKES SOME OF THIS BURDEN OFF OF THE TAXPAYER SO WE CAN PAY THE POLICE OFFICER, SO WE CAN DO SO MANY THINGS WE HAVE BEEN

SUFFERING FOR IN THE PAST. WE NEED THAT GROWTH. >> AND THE GROWTH IS SUPER IMPORTANT, AND IT SEEMS LIKE WE ALL HAVE DONE OUR OWN EFFORTS TO TRY TO PUSH THAT NEEDLE FORWARD. I HAVE BEEN SAYING PARTNERSHIP MORE THAN I HAVE IN 10 YEARS LATELY. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE COUNTY AND I THINK WE NEED TO START STEPPING IN THE SAME STEP. I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE GOING THROUGH A PLANNING PROCESS NOW AND WE SHOULD BE SHARING HOURS AND SITTING DOWN WITH THEM. I TALKED TO MR. MINTZ TODAY ABOUT A WORKSHOP WHERE WE CAN SIT THERE AND IDENTIFY WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO FT. PIERCE, WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO THE COUNTY. HOW CAN WE DO THIS TOGETHER RATHER THAN EVERYBODY GO OUT AND PLANT THEIR OWN AND PUSH THEIR OWN AGENDAS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WE ARE HERE AND WE HAVE ISSUES BACK AND FORTH. THE ONLY WAY THIS WILL WORK OUT IS IF WE ALL UNDERSTAND WHAT WE ARE ALL TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH. SO THIS IS ALL GOOD. THESE ARE THE GOOD PROBLEMS WE HAVE ALWAYS WANTED. IT WAS BEFORE EVERY MAN FOR THEMSELVES.

IT'S NOT ANYMORE. THIS IS THE WORLD WE LIVE IN, AND WE MAY BE LOOKING AT

[01:35:02]

DEVELOPMENTS IN A CERTAIN AREA WHERE THE ROAD IS OWNED AND MANAGED BY THE COUNTY AND VICE VERSA. THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT

AND THEN UNDERSTANDING ABOUT WITH OUR PARTNERS >> AND WE WERE UNHAPPY WHEN ALL THOSE DEVELOPMENTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE BUILT AND HAD TO HOLD AT THE LAST RECESSION.

SO NOW IT'S HAPPENING AND WE WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT WHEN IT HAPPENS.

>> AND TO BUILD ON THAT ÃI APPRECIATE LESLIE BEING HERE. WE DIDN'T EVEN TALK ABOUT THIS AND IT WAS MY INTENTION TO COME TALK TO YOU AND I DID NOT. I'M SO GLAD YOU ARE HERE.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU START LOOKING AT THE ENTIRE AREA, ONE THING WE HAVE TO DO ÃWE WENT TO EMBRACE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH AND I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR RESIDENTS, YOU KNOW, AND WHEN YOU CHANGE FUTURE LAND USES AND YOU START LOOKING AT THESE THINGS, IT GOES THROUGH THE REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL AND THEN IT GOES THROUGH TPO AND THEY START LOOKING AT THE ROAD AND THE LEVEL OF SERVICES AND WE START LOOKING AT ÃFROM A COUNTY AND A CITY LEVEL, YOU KNOW, AND IN THIS CASE WHY I WAS ASKING ABOUT DENSITIES EARLIER AND WE WILL TALK ABOUT IT MORE TIME IN A MINUTE.

YOU ARE OVERJOYED. I CAN SEE IT. YOU'VE DONE A GOOD JOB.

THANK YOU, SIR. YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT OVER 120 UNITS ADDITIONAL FROM WHAT'S ALREADY THERE RIGHT NOW, SO WE HAVE TO START THAT FOCUS AND THAT PLANNING AND GETTING IN TUNE WITH EACH OTHER BECAUSE OTHERWISE WE ARE FIGHTING AN UPHILL BATTLE.

AND THERE'S NO NEED FOR THAT. >> WE ARE GOING TO BE BROWARD COUNTY IS WHAT WE ARE SO WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. SO RIGHT. SO I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION OR

MORE DISCUSSION. >> I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO MOVE THE APPROVAL OF STAFF'S

RECOMMENDATION >> IS THERE A SECOND? >> I WILL SECOND

>> IS THERE DISCUSSION? CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

THE ZONING IS OUR FOUR MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL. THE REQUEST IS FOR A ZONING ATLAS MAP AMENDMENT TO CHANGE FOR PARCELS FROM MEDIUM DENSITY ARE FOR RESIDENTIAL TO HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ARE FIVE.

STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST BASED ON CONSISTENT WITH SURROUNDING ZONING CONSISTENT WITH SECTION 22 131 OF THE CITY CODE AND ENCUMBRANCE OF PLAN.T DOES NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY WELFARE AND THE PLANNING BOARD IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL. 23 NOTIFICATIONS WERE SENT OUT TO PROPERTY OWNERS.

WHAT IS THE PLANNING BOARD AWARE OF THE COUNTIES ÃOR OF THE TRAFFIC IMPACTS AND THE

[01:40:13]

KIND OF DISCUSSION WE HAD TONIGHT? DID THAT HAPPEN AT THE PLANNING

BOARD LEVEL? >> THERE WAS A LITTLE DISCUSSION ABOUT IT.

THERE USUALLY IS ALMOST PRODUCTS THAT HAPPEN ON JENKINS ROAD

>> THEY USUALLY DO THAT?KAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> IN THE REPORT THAT YOU GAVE BRANDON THAT TALKED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC REPORT, SOUTH JENKINS ROAD IN THIS AREA THE LEVEL OF SERVICE C? WAS NOT STUDY DONE BEFORE OTHER APPLICATIONS OF COME UP?> YES, THE STUDY WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE ÃLET'S SEE. SO THIS IS TRAFFIC REPORT FROM

THE TPO FROM 2019. SO YEAH. >> THANK YOU

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF? I WOULD LIKE THE APPLICANT TO COME FORWARD, PLEASE. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF BEFORE YOU BEGIN?

>> NO >> YOU MAY BE EXCUSED. >> MADAM MAYOR

>> YOU'VE BEEN SWORN IN. YOU EXCITED >> I HAVE SIGNED IN.

YEAH. I APOLOGIZE. IT'S BEEN A WHILE.

FOR THE RECORD I AM DENNIS MURPHY WITH THE FIRM OF CULPEPPER AND GERMANY HERE REPRESENTING THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY ON JENKINS ROAD AS DISCUSSED ON THE LATEST [INDISCERNIBLE] FOR THE SIMPLICITY OF THE RECORD I WILL REFER TO MY COMMENTS ON THE PRIOR PRESENTATION. I WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOU FORWARD OR YOU FORWARD ON FIRST READING IN OUR PETITION FOR A CHANGE IN ZONING TO OUR FIVE AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS PETITION FOR A ZONING CHANGE WITHIN BE HELD PENDING THE RETURN OF THE PETITION APPROXIMATELY 60 DAYS, 90 DAYS WHATEVER THE PROCESS TIME IS AS OPPOSED TO THE STANDARD TWO OR THREE WEEKS TO COME BACK IN FRONT OF YOU SO IT WILL SIT HOLD FOR A WHILE. DURING THE INTERVIEWING TIME PERIOD, WE WILL WORK ON BEHALF OF OUR CLIENT, WE WILL WORK WITH THE COUNTY TO TRY AND DO THE BEST THAT WE CAN TO HELP PARTICIPATE AND HELP FACILITATE ANY KIND OF COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF THE JENKINS CORRIDOR TO ADDRESS THE BROADER COMMUNITY CONCERN ABOUT TRANSPORTATION, IT IS MORE THAN A LINEAR CORRIDOR. OTHER THAN NORTH OR SOUTH OR OTHER TRANSPORTATION CONSIDERATIONS THAT CAN BE GIVEN, AND WEARING MULTIPLE HATS OVER THE YEARS I THINK AS YOU ALL KNOW I AM KIND OF KNEE-DEEP IN A LOT OF THIS STUFF.

KIMBERLY TOOK IT AT THE CITY AND THE COUNTY AND THE PRIVATE PROPERTY AND IN THE AREA ITSELF CAN COME UP WITH A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO COME IN AND FIX THIS BECAUSE AS WE ALL KNOW IT'S EXPENSIVE TO BUILD A ROAD. AND, YOU KNOW, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE THAT OUT. TPO OR NOT TPO. IT TAKES TIME FOR THEM.

>> FIVE YEARS. >> YOU ARE OPTIMISTIC, AREN'T YOU?

>> WITH THAT I WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THIS BE ADVANCED TO THE NEXT STAGE AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I AM HERE TO TRY TO ANSWER THEM.

>> ANY QUESTIONS? >> WE TALKED ÃTALKING ABOUT ZONING.

SO WHY WOULD WE WANT TO CHANGE THE ZONING AT THIS POINT AND NOT LOOK AT A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TYPE APPLICATION? WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE HERE FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE?

>> FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, MY CLIENT 'S EASIEST PATH TO MOVE FORWARD.

ANYBODY'S GOING TO TELL YOU THAT. THAT'S THE SIMPLEST WAY OF DOING IT. WE ARE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF DOING SOME MASTER PLANNING AND SITE PLANNING FOR THE PROPERTY ITSELF. AND IT IS GOING TO BE A MULTIFAMILY COMMUNITY SIMILAR IN NATURE TO THOSE THAT ARE IN THE SURROUNDING AREA RIGHT NOW.

WE BELIEVE THAT THE ARE FIVE ZONING GIVES US THE BASIC CODE REQUIREMENTS AND CODE ISSUES WE NEED. I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS ABOUT THE APPLICATION AND DPD.

I UNDERSTAND THE PROTECTIONS THAT IT GIVES THE CITY, AND I WILL RELATE SOME OF THESE CONCERNS AND COMMENTS BACK TO MY CLIENT SO WHEN WE RETURNED BACK HERE AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME OF THE PLAN AMENDMENT WE MAY HAVE AN AMENDED PETITION IN FRONT OF YOU.

I CAN'T TELL YOU RIGHT NOW YES OR NO BECAUSE I'M NOT AUTHORIZED TO DO THAT BUT I CAN TELL YOU I WILL TAKE IT BACK AND HAVE A CONVERSATION AND GIVE THEM THE BODY LANGUAGE

READ. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT. THE BIGGEST IMPACT TO ME IN A CORNER LIKE THIS JENKINS ROAD HAS CHANGED AND IS MORPHING INTO SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN

[01:45:08]

WHAT RESIDENTS ARE USED TO. THE BIGGEST IMPACT ÃTHE BIGGEST CHANGE.

NOT THE BIGGEST IMPACT. IT'S JUST THE HEIGHT PARAMETERS BECAUSE IT CHANGES THE PARAMETER, WHICH THE ÃTHE APPLICANT WAS ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT.

IT COMES DOWN TO COST. YOU TALK TO US BEFORE ABOUT COST, AND THERE IS COST ASSOCIATED WITH MULTILEVEL, MULTISTORY TYPE DEVELOPMENT, BUT THERE IS STILL THE OPTION THERE. SO I DON'T KNOW. JUST HAVE MORE RESERVATION IN THIS ONE THAN I DO BUT THE LAST ONE BECAUSE OF ARBITRARILY LOOKING AT ZONING, CHANGING ZONING.

HAVE A SCHOOL NEXT DOOR, I HAVE A BODY OF WATER OR A COMMAND SYSTEM ADJACENT TO THIS PARCEL, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE SOME RESERVATIONS, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS,, I UNDERSTAND THE CORRIDOR AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING WITHOUT HAVING THE APPROVAL TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DEVELOP OR WHAT YOU ÃWHAT YOUR CLIENT IS LOOKING AT. SO IT'S A CHALLENGE. FROM THIS PERSPECTIVE.

>> COMMISSIONER JOHNSON I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERNS. I UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY FEAR IS OR NOT NECESSARILY THE FEAR OR THE PERCEPTION OR THE WHAT IF COULD OCCUR.

THE BEST I CAN TELL YOU AT THIS PARTICULAR POINT IN TIME IS THAT THIS IS A TWO-STAGE HEARING PROCESS, AND I AM NOT IN A POSITION TONIGHT TO COME IN AND GET ANY DEFINITIVE COMMITMENT, ALTHOUGH I UNDERSTAND AND I THINK I CAN ADDRESS YOUR CONCERN.

I WOULD ASK THAT THE COMMENTS BE NOTED FOR THE RECORD, THEY OBVIOUSLY ARE, AND BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN WE COME BACK TO YOU WILL, PROBABLY WELL IN ADVANCE OF YOUR STAFF.

WE MAY HAVE SOMETHING THAT COMES IN AND ADDRESSES THE CONCERN THAT YOU HAVE.

AS YOU JUST ARTICULATED IT IN THIS REGARD FROM A DESIGN POINT OF VIEW.

WE WILL SEE WHERE WE FALL FROM THERE. >> THAT'S YOUR ANSWER

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.E MIGHT ASK YOU TO COME BACK. ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO ADDRESS

THIS ISSUE, COME FORWARD. >> I THINK YOU WERE SWORN IN, RIGHT?

>> YES, MA'AM. >> MEMBERS OF THE CITY COMMISSION AGAIN I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR WELCOME AND YOUR COLLABORATION WITH US IS THE COUNTY.

THE LEGISLATURE, THE STATE LEGISLATURE HAS TAKEN ACTIONS THAT MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR US TO PLAN OUR TRANSPORTATIO SYSTEMS. ESSENTIALLY, OUR PROPORTIONATE PER-SHARE SYSTEM HAS BEEN GUTTED, SO ONLY THE LAST PERSON IN PLACE BEFORE IT FAILS.

IT'S ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL FOR US TO WORK WITH YOU BECAUSE THERE IS ÃWE ARE WORKING FOR WAYS TO FIND WAYS AS MR. MIMS SAID SPEND LOTS OF MONEY ON JENKINS ROAD.

THERE IS SO MUCH MONEY AND THEY ARE EXPENSIVE. ANY CLOSING REMARKS WE WOULD

CLOSE A PUBLIC HEARING. >> I WANT TO MAKE COMMENT OVER THIS PAST WEEKEND.

YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A BEAUTIFUL CITY. >> SHE DRUG ME ALL OVER CLAREMONT. I'M JUST SAYING EVERYTHING I'M LOOKING AT IS BEING NEW, BEING BUILT, BEING BUILT NOW. AND FOR US TO SPEAK ABOUT JENKINS ROAD.

PEOPLE GO THAT DIRECTION. YOU HAVE A SCHOOL RECORD. YOU HAVE DEVELOPMENT AFTER DEVELOPMENT AND I THINK ÃIT'S TIME FOR THE COUNTY TO LIVE UP TO ST. LUCIE COUNTY BEING ST.

[01:50:02]

LUCIE COUNTY BECAUSE IT WILL ALLOW PORT ST. LUCIE TO GO ALL THE WAY TO OKEECHOBEE.

AND THEY ARE SERIOUS. SERIOUS. FOR US TO DENY THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE ÃAND I HARP ON THIS BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN PAYING ÃTHEY HAVE BEEN PAYING ALL OF THESE YEARS FOR FORT PIERCE TO SURVIVE AND WE CAN'T DENY THAT TO THEM.

THAT'S IT. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? >> JUST, AGAIN TO ECHO MY COLLEAGUE IN TERMS OF WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE COME FROM. WE COME FROM NOTHING, AND IT SEEMS LIKE A LITTLE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL, AND WITH THAT BEING SAID, THINGS ARE STARTING TO FINALLY FALL IN PLACE IN TERMS OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY AND ALL I CAN SAY

IS HATS OFF TO MR. MURPHY AND KEEP THEM ROLLING. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR

EMOTION? >> MOVE FOR THE APPROVAL WITH STAFF'S RECOMMENDATIONS >

SECOND. >> I AM CHALLENGED HERE IF IT DOES GO THROUGH, YOU HEARD MY COMMENTS. YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT A MATTER OF EXACTLY HOW, BUT IT'S WHY ARE WE CHANGING AT THIS POINT I'VE GOT A LITTLE RESERVATIONS. THERE'S TWO READINGS.

YOU KNOW MAYBE ON NUMBER 2 WE GOT SOME TIME TO CHANGE MY OWN MIND SO I CAN'T SUPPORT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I THINK THERE ARE OTHER AVENUES FOR DENSITY DEVELOPMENT, P.D. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TYPE MOVEMENTS, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS TO THE SCHOOL AND TRAFFIC.

THERE'S JUST SOME UNKNOWNS FOR ME AT THIS POINT. SO I APPRECIATE YOUR ANSWERS

TONIGHT. >> ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ARE WE READY TO VOTE? CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.

BUT I RECALL THIS, AND I WAS THANKFUL BECAUSE WE WERE TRYING TO SEARCH OUT AND FIND OUT HOW WE WERE GOING TO ACCOMMODATE THE COLLEGE STUDENTS, AND I AM LOOKING AT THIS AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEED AND EXACTLY THE AREA AND THE SPOT AND THE PLACE. I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WILL YOU HAVE AN ON-SITE MANAGEMENT?

>> ON-SITE MANAGEMENT? >> THE COMPANY OR ANYTHING AS SUCH?

>> YES. THERE WILL BE ON-SITE MANAGEMENT

>> SO I MEAN I KNOW THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE A PARTY OR TO. >> COLLEGE KIDS?

IMAGINE THAT. >> IMAGINE. I KNOW.

I JUST WANTED TO WELCOME YOU AGAIN BECAUSE I WAS HOPING IT WAS BEING BUILT BY NOW, BUT I

CAN WAIT. >> A LITTLE BIT OFF THE WALL AND OUTSIDE THE DESIGN STANDARDS, BUT JUST THINKING ABOUT 20/20 AND THINKING ABOUT COLLEGE CAMPUSES LIKE DCF AND I ARE GOING TO BE ACROSS THE STREET FROM [INDISCERNIBLE] WHICH NEVER STOPS GROWING AND WE ARE THANKFUL FOR THEM. WHAT KIND OF INNOVATIVE DESIGN IDEAS OR DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT IS NOT REQUIRED, BUT THAT IS THERE ANYTHING LIKE ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS, SCOOTER, PARKING STATIONS? THERE'S ALL KINDS OF THINGS HAPPENING IN UNIVERSITY TOWNS, MAYBE NOT AT THE STATE COLLEGE LEVEL. ANY THOUGHTS THERE?

>> I KNOW THERE WAS MORE BIKE RACKS THAN WERE REQUIRED. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THOSE OTHER ITEMS, AND I DON'T THINK THEY WORK RECIPROCALLY ADDRESSED IN THE SITE PLAN.

>> IT'S JUST A FAMOUS TALK ABOUT MORE AND MORE EVERY TIME WE GO TO A TPO MEETING.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MULTIMODAL AND MICRO-MOBILITY TYPE TRANSPORTATION.

SO TRADITIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS GREAT. HOWEVER, HOW DO WE CHANGE WITH

IT? >> IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.

MY SON IS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA AND IT'S AMAZING THE AMOUNT OF SCOOTERS THERE.

THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN A GOOD THING. IT'S KINDA DANGEROUS WHEN ALL OF THEM ARE ON THE ROADS WITH THE TRAFFIC. THEY ARE VERY POPULAR.

>> I APPRECIATE THAT. >> THESE ARE RENTALS, RIGHT? THESE ARE GOING TO BE RENTALS?

ND SO IT IS OBVIOUSLY GEARED TOWARDS COLLEGE >> I ANTICIPATE THAT THAT WOULD

BE A PRIME USER FOR IT, FOR THE LOCATION >> WE HAVE A GOOD PIZZA PLACE

RIGHT THERE TOO. >> SO OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE

[02:05:02]

>> I WAS GOING TO JUMP ON YOU. >> I FELT IT COMING. >> IT'S UP TO THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.

>> 5 AND 6. >> I CONCUR. >> SO MY QUESTION IS TO STAFF, AND I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN GO OUTSIDE, BUT STAFF, WITH THIS AMENDMENT, WHO IS WHAT I FIGURE IS YOU ANTICIPATED BUT THE COUNTY NEEDS WERE GOING TO BE AND THAT'S WHY YOU PUT THE LANGUAGE IN THERE. IF THAT'S THE WAY IT IS YOU WOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH OUR AMENDMENT BUT IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE AMENDMENT THIS IS A GOOD CHANCE FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO TELL US WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT AND WHY WE NEED TO AMEND SOMETHING THAT'S ARTY

BEEN DONE >> SEARCHES FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES, THESE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS WERE ACTUALLY VERBATIM FROM THE COUNTY. BUT I THINK THE CHANGES THAT MR. DOBBINS HAS PRESENTED STILL SATISFIES THE INTENT OF THE TWO CONDITIONS SO I WOULD BE

COMFORTABLE WITH MOVING FORWARD. >> OKAY.

I'M HAPPY WITH THAT. >> THE LAWYER VER THERE IS UP WITH THAT? OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? SHALL WE VOTE?

>> BECAUSE OF THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND JUST PASSING. I WAS OUT OF TOUCH BUT I WASN'T ABLE TO ÃAGAIN, I CAN JUST GIVE YOU HIS LAST NAME AND I CAN CALL HIM MR. JOHNSON.

JOHNSON. >> CAN I MAKE MY APPOINTMENT? >> I WOULD LIKE TO APPOINT GRACE FEE. BRI KACEN. SEND

[02:10:04]

SO YOU CAN EITHER RANK THEM, CHOOSE TO AND RANK THEM AND I CAN TALLY THEM AND IF YOU WANT TO CALL OUT HER NAME AND THAT THE MAJORITY OF YOU COME

FORWARD >> WHAT I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT WE CAN PICK TO BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE RESOLUTION CALLS FOR. BUT I'M SO PLEASED THAT WE HAVE FOUR NAMES.O I WOULD LIKE FOR STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT THE TWO PEOPLE THAT DON'T GET PICKED FOR WHATEVER REASON, ENCOURAGE THEM TO ATTEND THE MEETINGS AND BE A PART OF THE PROCESS BECAUSE WITH YOUNG PEOPLE AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME IN HER LIFE, THINGS COULD CHANGE VERY RAPIDLY, AND THEY ARE INTERESTED ENOUGH TO FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, I WOULD LOVE FOR THEM TO BE INVOLVED.

I DON'T WANT TO CUT ANYBODY OFF OR MAKE THEM FEEL THEY ARE CUT OFF FROM THE PROCESS.

SO I WOULD ÃIS THERE ANY ÃI DON'T KNOW ANY OF THE FOUR. [INDISCERNIBLE] I WILL GO FOR THAT. EVERYBODY LIKES LASHAWNDA? SO Ã

>> THAT'S A WESTWOOD. >> WHICH SCHOOL TO ME NOT? >> WE HAVE ALL OF THEM.

SO I WOULD SAY KEISHA. I LIKE THAT ONE CENTRAL. >> THAT'S COMMISSIONER

ALEXANDER STRIKES. ALL RIGHT. >> AND THEN WE CAN ENCOURAGE THE OTHER TWO BECAUSE AT THIS AGE YOU DON'T WANT TO FEEL LIKE YOU'VE BEEN REJECTED.

THEY HAVE BEEN REJECTED. I DON'T WANT THEM TO FEEL THAT WAY.

I WANT THEM TO ATTEND THE MEETINGS AND PARTICIPATE. >> WHAT DO YOU CALL THE PEOPLE THAT STAND BY? ALTERNATES. WE DIDN'T CREATE THEM.

IT'S A PUBLIC MEETING AND THEY CAN COME AND PARTICIPATE, AND IF ANY OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE FULFILLING MESS ÃIT MIGHT EVEN BE SOMEWHAT BENEFICIAL BECAUSE THEY CAN INTERACT WITH ALL OF THEM. IF YOU ARE THE ULTIMATE BUT NOT FORMALLY ON THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS HAVE TO DO COMMITTEE WORK AND ABIDE BY THE. BUT THE OTHER TWO ÃTHEY ARE

FREE. >> WHAT WE WANT THEM TO BE A PART OF THIS PROCESS VERY MUCH X AND THE OTHER THING, IF WE COULD, MR. HEADY WAS ONE OF THEM.

THOSE WERE THE TWO? I THINK ONE IS A SOPHOMORE AND ONE IS A FRESHMAN.

THERE'S LOTS OF OPPORTUNITY. THEY ARE UNDERCLASSMEN. KEEP THEM INVOLVED

>> I HAVE A QUESTION. HE IS MY NEIGHBOR AS WELL. >> WHAT THE STATUS HERE?

>> YOU AND I HAVE CONSULTED ABOUT THIS AND ALTHOUGH I CANNOT CONCEIVE OF ANY TYPE OF SPECIAL INTEREST, HOWEVER, THE PERCEPTION IS REALITY AND IN AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION NOT TO HAVE ANYBODY MAKING ANY ACCUSATIONS FOUNDED OR OTHERWISE THERE IS SOME TYPE OF ÃI WOULD ADVISE YOU NOT TO VOTE ON THAT ISSUE.

AND ADDRESS. >> RICK B 2625 S. U.S. 1. I WROTE A LETTER THE OTHER DAY TO MR. MEN'S AND COPIED YOU ALL AND IT WAS REGARDING ALLOWING KEITH HOLMES'S MEDICAL RECORDS, 61 PAGES, TO BE POSTED ON THE FORT PIERCE POLICE DEPARTMENT.ORG IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. IT WAS INTIMATE MEDICAL RECORDS.

AND THEY SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ALLOWED.HE LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS ÃI DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND. IT'S ABOVE MY PAY GRADE. BUT IT WAS DESPICABLE.

WE HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN TO DO THAT TO SOMEBODY. AND IT JUST GENERATES CONSTANT LEGAL ISSUES WITH THIS CITY. INSTEAD OF PAYING POLICE OFFICERS AND BUILDING ROADS AND DOING ALL THE THINGS YOU CLAIM YOU CAN'T DO NOW WE ARE INVOLVED IN THIS QUAGMIRE.

AND IT COMES BACK TO OUR POLICE CHIEF. SO I WENT BACK AND I LOOKED AT HER BACKGROUND REPORT. IT TOOK US FOREVER TO GET IT. AND WHEN SHE WAS HIRED, THERE WERE THREE ISSUES THAT WERE NOTED. AND IN DEPOSITIONS THAT WERE GIVEN IN A FEDERAL CASE THAT WERE PAID FOR ACROSS THE STREET.

ONE, AND YOU ALL KNEW OF THIS, ONE WAS HER CREDIT BACKGROUND. IN OUR READING RIGHT OUT OF HER BACKGROUND REPORT IN HER FILE HERE AT THE CITY. ONE ACCOUNT WAS SETTLED FOR LESS THAN FULL BALANCE IN ONE ACCOUNT WAS IN FORECLOSURE. SHE HAD DISPLAYED LATE PAYMENTS AND AN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT DISPLAYED LATE PAYMENTS AND WAS IN FORBEARANCE ON HER STUDENT LOANS. AND FORBEARANCE ALLOWS THE DELAY ALONE IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO PAY. AND IT JUST ACCRUES INTEREST. SHE DID EVERYTHING SHE COULD TO GET OUT OF A BACKGROUND CHECK. SHE ALSO REFUSED TO BE CERTIFIED FOR HER GUN HERE.

SHE THREW A HISSY FIT ABOUT THAT. AND THEN THE MOST INTERESTING THING WAS THE FDLE AGENT THAT WAS TASKED AT THE TIME IN A DEPOSITION WAS ASKED, WHY DID YOU LEAVE YOUR POSITION WITH THE FDLE? THE FDLE AND I WERE NO LONGER SEE EYE TO EYE ON A NUMBER OF ISSUES AND IT WAS MAKING MY JOB DIFFICULT IN THE SENSE THAT WAS PUT IN A POSITION THAT I DIDN'T NECESSARILY THINK WAS ETHICAL FOR MY OWN PERSONAL STANDARD.

DID ANY OF THESE ISSUES WHERE YOU FELT YOU WEREN'T SEEING EYE TO EYE WITH THE FDLE ANY LONGER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FORT PIERCE POLICE DEPARTMENT? IT WAS PART OF MY DECISION TO LEAVE, YES. THAT WAS AN FDLE AGENT. YOU KNOW, TO PUT THIS BAND'S MEDICAL RECORDS IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN, 61 PAGES, AND EVEN I WON'T STAND HERE AND SAY WHAT THOSE MEDICAL RECORDS STATED, BUT THEY WERE THE MOST INTIMATE, PERSONAL BETWEEN A

MAN AND HIS DOCTOR, BETWEEN A PATIENT AND HIS DOCTOR. >> THANK YOU, SIR.

ANYONE ELSE? SEEING NO ONE, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD AND
