Please remember to turn off your cell phones so they do not become a distraction during the meeting. Please also refrain from having conversations in this room so that you might hear all the testimony given today. To ensure a complete record of this board's actions, we ask that each individual wishing to speak, including the applicant speaking to the microphone at the podium in front of us, clearly state your name and spell your last name for the clerk. Now we'll ask all those in attendance today who plan to speak to please rise and be sworn in by the clerk. Thank you.

Agendas of today's meeting are on the podium to your left near the entry door. Also on this podium are a roster of the community development board, the list of city staff experts and their resumes, the board's rules of procedure, and the annual schedule of this board. Our first order of business is to review and approve the minutes from last month's meeting. If no one's had a chance to do so, may I have a motion to approve? I make the motion to approve. Second. Second. Motion made and seconded. All in favor say aye. Aye. All opposed? Motion carries. Our next agenda item is items not on the agenda. Is there any person wishing to address the board concerning any matter does not appear on today's agenda? Seeing none, we'll proceed with our consent agenda.

We do have a request for continuance first, so I'll take that first. Yes, sir. So in matter FLG twenty twenty five-seven 17, TDR twenty twenty five-seven thousand and one, which was a flexible development approval, tag one, resort attached dwelling unit through a transfer development rights as part of a proposed six resort attached dwelling units in the tourist zoning district in the Old Florida Bay. Old Florida District was beach by design for the property located at 6112 Bay Esplanade. They have requested a continuance to do some changes in the type of the structures and it needs to be advertised correctly.

Does anybody have any questions on this one or do I a motion to continue? I make a motion to continue. FLD twenty million two fifty thousand seven hundred seventeen slash DDR2025-seven thousand and one. Do I have a second? Second. Motion made and seconded. Any discussion? All in favor say aye. Aye. All opposed?

Motion carries. This board has adopted a consent agenda format and the consent items are identified as such on the agenda. Consent agenda items are those items for which the planning and development department recommends approval and the applicant is in agreement with any proposed conditions. Please note that written comments to the case that have been received to date do not result in the item being removed from the consent agenda. Items may be removed from the consent agenda today by a member of the board, a member of the staff, or any person in the audience for questions or objections.

I'll read each item on the consent agenda and if any person wishes to remove this item from the consent agenda, please state or raise your hand and we will remove it from the consent agenda. Items removed from the consent agenda will be heard in the regular order of the meeting. Items that remain on the consent agenda will be approved with a single vote as to each type of hearing. Today's consent agenda items include, there's only one, FLD twenty twenty five-ten and 25, flexible development approval of an existing eighteen thirty eight square foot commercial dock, new boat lift accessory to 27 unit attached dwellings within the high density residential Island Estates neighborhood conservation overlay and preservation districts for the property located at 125 Island Way. Does anybody wish to have this item removed from the consent agenda?

Seeing none, does any Board member wish to disclose any ex parte communication on any Level two matters that we have on the Consent Agenda? Seeing none, may I have a motion for approval of the Level two applications on the Consent Agenda? Can I ask one

question, Lauren? It was, have we heard this before, this property? Yes. Yes, we have. This is, doesn't qualify for a minor amendment, this is why we need to come back. They're adding sorry. They're adding a new lift, so it's essentially the same extent as before. So it's a new hearing since it's a real it's a more substantial request, then we can do an administrative level. So it was turned down before, is that

what you No,

was approved before, so it was approved.

Oh, it approved, but they're adding a lift. So they're not changing the size or structure I was just trying to

remember the history. Was

my question.

Yes. All right. CDB has approved this.

Do I have a motion for this consent agenda item?

I move to approve case number FLD2025-ten25 on today's consent agenda based on evidence in the record, including the application and the staff report and hereby adopt the findings of fact and conclusions of law stated in

the staff report with conditions of approval as listed.

Do I have a second? Second. Motion made and seconded. Is there any further discussion? There being none, all in favor say aye. Aye. All opposed? Motion carries. That concludes our consent agenda items and we don't have any other items on our regular agenda. Is there anything in the director's report?

I have nothing formal to report. Just hope that everyone has an excellent holiday season, gets to spend a little bit of time with family or friends and relax, which I think we all need every once in a while. Please treat yourself.

Thank you. And the same to you and to all the staff. We appreciate everybody's efforts bringing everything to us each month for our consideration. Any board members wishing to be heard on any matters?

Yeah. Could you slow it down just a little bit?

Mean, I can't even I'm Greek and I'm from New York. That doesn't happen. Yes, I can slow it down. I'll try to sometime. Alright. If there's no other board members to be heard, then today's meeting is adjourned. Merry Christmas.
