NIGEL JOSEPH: ALL RIGHT. OUR FIRST AND ONLY AGENDA ITEM IS 2A, PC/CPA 25-06. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAP AMENDMENT NORTH OF TRAPNELL ROAD, EAST OF MUD LAKE ROAD AND THE PRESENTER IS KRISTA KELLY.

THANK YOU, KRISTA KELLY, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. THIS EVENING I'M PRESENTING PC/CPA 25-06. THIS IS A SITE LOCATED NORTH OF TRAPNELL ROAD AND EAST OF MUD LAKE ROAD. IT'S A PRIVATELY INITIATED AMENDMENT, APPROXIMATELY 23 ACRES IN SIZE. THE SITE ABUTS THE PLANT CITY CITY LIMITS AND IS CURRENTLY PENDING APPROVAL OF A VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION CONCURRENT WITH THIS AMENDMENT REQUEST. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A CHANGE FROM HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY RESIDENTIAL 1 TO PLANT CITY RESIDENTIAL 4. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE LOCATION MAP THE SITE IS LOCATED IN THE FAR SOUTHERN PORTION OF PLANT CITY, AGAIN NORTH OF TRAPNELL ROAD AND EAST OF MUD LAKE ROAD. IT'S APPROXIMATELY A MILE AND A HALF WEST OF STATE ROAD 39 AND TWO MILES NORTH OF STATE ROAD 60. THIS AREA SHOWS THE SITE OUTLINED IN PINK IN THE PLANT CITY DELINEATED IN BLUE. THE SITE IS NORTHEAST OF THE INTERSECTION AT TRAPNELL ROAD WHICH RUNS EAST-WEST ON THE BOTTOM PORTION HERE. AND MUD LAKE ROAD WHICH RUNS NORTH-SOUTH. THE AREA REFLECTS A MIX OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS, RURAL HOME SITES AND LARGE LOTS AND RURAL SCALE NEIGHBORHOODS. SURROUNDING THE SITE AND THE SITE IS CURRENTLY USED FOR AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES. CONVERSELY, WITHIN PLANT CITY'S CITY LIMITS TO THE NORTHWEST AND WEST AND SOUTHWEST, THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN APPEARS TO TRANSITION TO A SUBURBAN SETTING THAT'S UP IN THIS CORNER. THE SUBURBAN TONE OF THE AREA IS ESTABLISHED BY THE WA WALDEN LAS COMMUNITY WHICH SPANS OVER 2,00N SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ON QUARTER ACRE AND HALF ACRE LOTS. NON-RESIDENTIAL USES IN THE AREA

INCLUDE A CONVENIENCE STORE, AGAIN AT THE INTERSECTION OF MUD LAKE AND TRAPNELL ROAD. AND TO THE EAST OF THE SITE AT THE INTERSECTION OF TRAPNELL AND SAM ALLEN ROAD, THERE IS AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. TRAPNELL ELEMENTARY. THIS IS A STREET VIEW LOOKING EAST AT THE SITE FROM MUD LAKE ROAD. THIS IS LOOKING NORTHEAST AT THE INTERSECTION OF MUD LAKE ROAD WHICH IS TO THE LEFT AND TRAPNELL ROAD WHICH IS TO THE RIGHT. THE SITE IS BEYOND THESE HOME SITES. THIS IS LOOKING EAST FROM TRAPNELL ROAD. THE SITE AGAIN IS IT ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE BEYOND THE HOMES. THIS IS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP. THE SUBJECT SITE AND LANDS IMMEDIATELY TO THE NORTH, WEST AND SOUTH ARE WITHIN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY AND ARE DESIGNATED HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY RESIDENTIAL 1. THIS FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY PROVIDES FOR A DENSITY OF UP TO ONE UNIT PER ACRE AND IS INTENDED TO RECOGNIZE EXISTING RURAL COMMUNITIES IN THE COUNTY AND TO ALLOW FOR USES THAT ARE COMPATIBLE WITH AGRICULTURAL USES. ABUTTING THIS SITE TO THE EAST, WHICH IS WITHIN THE PLANT CITY BOUNDARY, THE LAND IS IDENTIFIED AS A TRANSITIONAL AREA. AND BEYOND THE TRANSITIONAL AREA, THE AREA IS DESIGNATED RESIDENTIAL 4 IN THIS PEACH COLOR HERE. THE TRANSITIONIAL AREA DENOTES THE LAND HAS BEEN DESIGNATED INTO PLANT CITY AND HAS NOT ADOPTED AN AMENDMENT FROM THE COUNTY DESIGNATION TO A PLANT CITY DESIGNATION. THE LAND BEYOND THE TRANSITIONAL AREA ALLOWS FOR UP TO FOUR DWELLING UNITS HER ACRE AND DOES NOT ALLOW FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL USES. LANDS WITHIN THE PLANT CITY LIMITS TO THE NORTHWEST ARE PREDOMINANTLY DESIGNATED RESIDENTIAL 6. AND GENERALLY FOLLOW THE BOUNDARY OF THE WALDEN LAKES

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. THE R-6 ALLOWS FOR DENSITIES UP TO 6 UNITS PER ACRE AND NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE NON-RESIDENTIAL USES SUCH AS CONVENIENCE TYPE COMMERCIAL USES UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. THIS IS THE PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE MAP SHOWING THE SUBJECT SITE NOW DESIGNATED RESIDENTIAL 4. RESIDENTIAL 4 IS INTENDED TO RECOGNIZE THE LEASE INTENSELY DEVELOPED RESIDENTIAL AREA IN PLANT CITY AND TYPICALLY SERVES AS A TRANSITIONAL BUFFER BETWEEN AGRICULTURAL AREAS AND MORE INTENSIVE USES IN PLANT CITY. AS NOTED ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, R-4 ALLOWS UP TO FOUR DWELLING UNITS HER ACRE AND DOES NOT ALLOW NON-RESIDENTIAL USES. UNDER THE CURRENT DESIGNATION OF HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY RESIDENTIAL 1, UP TO 23 DWELLING UNITS CAN BE CONSIDERED AND APPROXIMATELY 257,000 SQUARE FEET OF NON-RESIDENTIAL USE COULD BE CONSIDERED. IF THE AMENDMENT WERE CHANGED TO RESIDENTIAL 4, UP TO 94 DWELLING UNITS AND 257,000 SQUARE FEET CAN ALSO BE CONSIDERED. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT WILL ALLOW ADDITIONAL -- THE ADDITION OF 71 DWELLING UNITS. HOWEVER, THE NON-RESIDENTIAL SQUARE FOOTAGE REMAINS THE SAME AS THE FLOOR AREA RATIO. STAFF REVIEWED AND FOUND 25-06 CONSISTENT WITH THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES WHICH WERE USED AS THE BASIS FOR THIS DETERMINATION. STAFF FOUND THAT THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT ALIGNS WITH OBJECTIVE 1.1 AND 1.1.3 UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT SECTION. THIS OBJECTIVE AND POLICY CALLS FOR MAINTAINING AN ADEQUATE RESIDENTIAL LANDS AND ENCOURAGES

THE CONSIDERATION OF A WIDE VARIETY OF HOUSING TYPES AND DENSITIES TO BE RESPONSIVE TO THE COMMUNITY'S NEEDS. ADDITIONALLY, THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT IS SUPPORTED BY POLICIES UNDER THE ANNEXATION OR RELATED TO THE ANNEXATIONS. LAND USE POLICY 7.5.5 AND HOUSING POLICY 1.4.2 SPEAK TO THE TIMING OF GROWTH IN COORDINATION WITH THE AVAILABILITY OF INFRASTRUCTURE. AND LAND USE POLICY 2.7.1 TO THE USE OF THE PLANT CITY VISION MAP TO IDENTIFY APPROPRIATE AREAS FOR FUTURE ANNEXATION ACTIVITIES. IN KEEPING WITH THESE POLICIES, THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT SITE IS IN HARMONY WITH THE VISION MAP WHICH SHOWS THE AREA FOR FUTURE ANNEXATIONS AND RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. LASTLY, THE SITE IS CONSISTENT WITH GUIDELINES PROVIDED FOR COMPATIBILITY BY LAND USE POLICY 7.4.5. THESE GUIDELINES PROMOTE COMPATIBILITY BY CALLING FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT TO BE LIKE USES THAT ARE COMPLEMENTARY WITH THE USES IN THE SURROUNDING AREA AND REQUIRES THE MITIGATION OF POTENTIAL ADVERSE IMPACTS. AS NOTED, THE SUBJECT SITE PROPOSES A DENSITY OF FOUR UNITS PER ACRE WHICH IS COMPARABLE WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THE AREA. AND IT PROVIDES FOR A TRANSITIONAL BUFFER BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL AND AGRICULTURAL AREAS. STAFF ALSO CONSIDERED RELATED POLICIES FOR THE CONSISTENCY REVIEW. UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT SECTION, LAND USE POLICIES 1.3.1 DIRECTS HIGHER DENSITIES TO AREAS IN NEAR PROXIMITY TO ACTIVITY CENTERS WHILE NOT DIRECTLY IN CONFLICT WITH THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT, WHICH IS SEEKING TO ALLOW FOR GRADUAL INCREASES OF DENSITY ON THE FRINGE OF THE CITY LIMITS,

POLICY 1.3.1 HAS A DIFFERENT FOCUS WHICH PROMOTES SUSTAINABILITY AND PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY DEVELOPMENT WHICH IN GENERAL IS A GROWTH GOAL FOR THE CITY OF PLANT CITY. UNDER THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT SECTION POLICY 7.1.3 AND POLICY 1.5.1 FOCUS ON ENSURING THAT PUBLIC FACILITIES INCLUDING TRANSPORTATION, SCHOOL FACILITIES ARE COORDINATED WITH NEW DEVELOPMENT. AGAIN, THESE POLICIES DO NOT DIRECTLY CONFLICT WITH THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT, HOWEVER, IT DOES PROMPT CONSIDERATION FOR ASSESSING THE APPROPRIATE TIMING FOR NEW AND MORE INTENSE DEVELOPMENT. STAFF DID RECEIVE COMMENTS FROM THE CITY OF PLANT CITY, PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT AND UTILITY DEPARTMENT. THE CITY'S PLANNING -- I'M SORRY. UTILITIES DEPARTMENT. THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S TRANSPORTATION SECTION, THE SCHOOL BOARD AND INDICATED A CAPACITY CONCERN OR ISSUED ANY OBJECTIONS. BASED ON THESE FINDINGS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE PROPOSED MAP AMENDMENT PC/CPA 25-06 BE FOUND CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES OF THE PLANT CITY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

NIGEL JOSEPH: THANK YOU. DOES THE APPLICANT HAVE A PRESENTATION?

GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSIONERS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND STAFF. MY NAME IS TU MAI, OFFICE ADDRESS IS NORTH DALE MABRY HIGHWAY TAMPA, FLORIDA, 33618. I'M HEAR REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT WHO IS HERE WITH ME TONIGHT AS WELL. SUBJECT SITE IS 23.6 ACRES AND IS LOCATED NORTHEAST OF THE INTERSECTION OF TRAPNELL ROAD AND MUD LAKE ROAD. THE SUBJECT SITE IS CURRENTLY ZONED AS-1 WITH A FUTURE LAND USE OF RES-1. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO CHANGE THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION FROM UNINCORPORATED HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY TO RES-1 OF -- TO PLANT CITY RES-4 TO ALLOW FOR A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. THERE ARE TWO ACCOMPANYING APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED TO THE CITY OF PLANT CITY FOR AN ANNEXATION. PETITION NUMBER ANX-2025-06 AND REZONING APPLICATION NUMBER PB-2025-33. STAFF HAS ALREADY PROVIDED A THOROUGH REPORT AND PRESENTATION SO I'LL BRIEFLY HIGHLIGHT HOW THIS REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES OF THE PLANT CITY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AS STAFF INDICATED, OBJECTIVE 1.1, POLICY 1.1.3 CONTRIBUTES TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN'S COMPRESS GOALS OF MAINTAINING AN ADEQUATE INVENTORY OF LAND DESIGNATED FOR RESIDENTIAL TO FUTURE ACCOMMODATE GROWTH. POLICY 2.7.1 SUPPORTS THIS AMENDMENT BASED ON ITS LOCATION WITHIN AN AREA ENVISIONED FOR ANNEXATION AND RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AS SHOWN ON THE PLANT CITY VISION MAP. POLICY 7.4.5 PROMOTES THE INTEGRATION OF NEW DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE CREATION OF LIKE AND

COMPLEMENTARY USES. COINCIDENTALLY THERE WAS AN ARTICLE IN THE "TAMPA BAY BUSINESS JOURNAL" WRITTEN BY BRIANNE WILLIAMS DATED AUGUST 21st, 2025 ENTITLED PLANT CITY PRESENCE FOR GROWTH AS SUBDIVISIONS ENCROACH ON STRAWBERRY FIELDS. I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT A FEW POINTS TO THE BOARD WHICH SUPPORTS THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT. IN THE ARTICLE, THE JOURNALIST STATES PLANT CITY'S POPULATION IS EXPECTED TO GROW 76,000 BY 2050 WHICH IS AN INCREASE OF 82% OVER THE PRESENT DAY ACCORDING TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION. CITY MANAGER BILL McDANIEL IS QUOTED IN THE ARTICLE AS SAYING WE JUST HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO MEET THAT GROWTH AND SHAPE OURSELVES. AND THIS PROCESS THAT WE'RE EMBARKING ON IS A BIG PART OF THAT. IN ADDITION, KATRINA CORCORAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STRATEGIC PLANNING AND POLICY MANAGER SAID THE EMPLOYMENT DATA WE HAVE FOR 2024 SHOWS THAT WE ARE APPROXIMATELY 41,000 JOBS AS OF 2024, WHICH IS AN INCREASE OF 39% FROM 2016. BY 2050, WE'RE EXPECTING THAT THE INCREASE IS JUST SHIEL OF 70,000 JOBS WHICH IS AN INCREASE OF 69%. IN CLOSING, WE BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE DEMONSTRATED THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT ACHIEVES THE LAND USE POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. WE RECEIVED NO OBJECTIONS FROM THE REVIEWING AGENCIES. WE CONCUR WITH STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION OF CONSISTENT WITH THE PLANT CITY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION FOR CONSISTENT AND FORWARD YOUR RECOMMENDATION TO PLANT CITY COMMISSION. THANK YOU TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FOR THEIR FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION. AND THANK YOU TO THE PLANNING BOARD FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU.

NIGEL JOSEPH: THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WE HAD A COUPLE OF PEOPLE SIGN UP IN THE PUBLIC COMMENT FOR THIS ONE. I WILL START OFF VIRTUALLY WITH CHELSEA STALK. IS CHELSEA STALK ON THE LINE, HTV? YES, HI. NIGEL JOSEPH: YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.

GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS CHELSEA STALK. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT I HOLD AN UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE IN GEOLOGY AND HYDROLOGY AND I LIVE ACROSS THE ROAD FROM THE PARCEL. I SPEAK AS A NEIGHBOR AND SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS HOW LAND AND WATER INTERACT. I UNDERSTAND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS LAND MAY BE INEVITABLE, I THINK IT'S CRUCIAL THAT ANY DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT PUT ANY NEARBY RESIDENTS AT RISK. I'D LIKE TO SPEAK QUICKLY AND SPECIFICALLY ABOUT FLOODING AND RUNOFF CONCERNS THAT I HAVE WITH THE PROPOSED PLAN. THE PLAN DOCUMENTS AS PROVIDED DO NOT REFERENCE ANY FORMAL ELEVATION SURVEY OR STORMWATER MITIGATION PLAN. THE PROPERTY WAS MARKETED AS HIGH AND DRY AND I FIRMLY BRIEF THAT BOTH THE PROPERTY OWNER AND THE PROSPECTIVE BUYERS ASSUME THAT THIS IS TRUE. BUT IT'S JUST NOT. TWO SUMMERS AGO OUR NEIGHBOR'S YARD AT THE END OF THE ROAD WAS COMPLETELY FLOODED. AND THIS PAST RAINY SEASON THE PROPERTY ACROSS FROM US HAD 4 INCHES OF WATER FOR WEEKS. THOUGH NOT STATED IN THE PLAN DOCUMENTS OR PART OF THIS MEETING INDIVIDUALLY, IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT DEVELOPMENT WILL LIKELY RAISE THE LAND FOR THE NEW HOMES THAT ARE PROPOSED. THERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT OVERSIGHTS THAT I'D LIKE TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION AS YOU MAKE THIS DECISION ON THIS AMENDMENT. LOOKING AT THE BARE EARTH THROUGH THE PROGRAM, THE LOWEST SPOT ARE DIRECTLY ON THE NORTH SIDE OF OUR DIRT ROAD. THE RETENTION POND IS AT ONE OF THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS IN THE PROPERTY. FROM A HYDROLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE, THIS IS PROBLEM ." THE WATER WILL FLOW DOWNHILL AND IN THIS CASE, THAT MEANS TOWARD OUR HOMES, O OUR DRIVEWAY, AND E DIRT ROAD WHICH IS THE ONLY ACCESS IN AND OUT OF OUR SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS CREATES A BIG RISK FOR US IN WASHOUTS AND ERADIATION OF OUR DIRT ROAD.

EVEN WITH THAT POND, ITS ELEVATED POSITION MAKES IT VIRTUALLY INEFFECTIVE. ANY HEAVY RAINS WILL BYPASS IT AND DASH WITH THE FLOODING ON OUR PARCELS. WITH ALL OF THIS, I WOULD JUST QUICKLY LIKE TO URGE THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TO PAUSE THE APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT UNTIL A THOROUGH SITE SPECIFIC STORMWATER AND RUNOFF STUDY IS CONDUCTED, ONE THAT CONSIDERS THE ELEVATION OF THE POND, THE RAISED LOTS, THE DIRT ROAD, AND THE EXISTING DRAINAGE LIMITATIONS. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT NOT ONLY FOR THE PURCHASERS OF THIS PROPERTY AND ALSO FOR YOU AS COMMISSIONERS AND AS PLANNING PEOPLE FOR OUR COUNTY AND FOR OUR TOWN, THAT WE REALLY DO LOOK AT ALL THE DATA THAT'S AVAILABLE TO US. OUR COMMUNITY ALONG THIS DIRT ROAD IS SMALL. THERE'S ONLY FOUR FAMILIES HERE, BUT I THINK THAT WE DESERVE PROTECTION FROM PREDICTABLE FLOODING AND IMPACTS. AND PROPER PLANNING SHOULD ENSURE NEW DEVELOPMENT DOESN'T HARM THE PEOPLE WHO ALREADY LIVE HERE. SO WITH THAT, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR CONSIDERATION OF REAL LIFE HYDROLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF THE PROPOSAL AND FUTURE PROPOSAL.

NIGEL JOSEPH: ALL RIGHT. YOUR TIME IS UP. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU! NIGEL JOSEPH: MOVING ON TO PEOPLE IN PERSON, WE WILL START WITH MARIO PEREZ.

ALL RIGHT, GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. SO I CAME OUT HERE ON A WHIM. I WASN'T REALLY PLANNING ON IT AND THEN THE MORE I LOOKED AT IT, THE MORE I WAS JUST LOOKING AT THE LAND AND EVERYTHING AND I REALIZED THAT I HAD TO AT LEAST COME AND SAY MY PIECE. PART OF SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD THAT THE LAST SPEAKER JUST REFERENCED, I REALLY JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT -- I CAN'T GET INTO THE SCIENCE THAT SHE JUST GOT INTO. I'M NOT THERE. BUT I JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE SPECIFICALLY INFRASTRUCTURE BURDEN AND THE PUBLIC SAFETY. I HAVE THREE SMALL CHILDREN. HE'S GOING TO BE 2 HERE IN TWO WEEKS, 5-YEAR-OLD AND 8-YEAR-OLD. AND THERE ARE OTHER SMALL CHILDREN JUST IN OUR FOUR HOUSES. COUPLE THAT WITH ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE AREA, 93 EXTRA HOMES ON A ROAD THAT CANNOT SUPPORT IT WITH ANY OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE IS GOING TO BE DANGEROUS IF NOTHING ELSE. NOT TO MENTION THE ISSUES WITH TRAFFIC THAT'S GOING TO CREATE. 93 HOMES IS 93 CARS. YOU FIGURE TWO CARS PER HOME OR MORE, THAT'S 186 OR MORE. AND THERE'S ONE STOP SIGN AND THEN ON THE ROAD TO HIGHWAY 60, THERE'S STRAWBERRY FIELDS ON BOTH SIDES. BOTH ROADS ARE LIMITED TO ONE 45 AND ONE 35 AND THERE'S ALREADY SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES THAT BASICALLY LIVE THERE MAKING SURE PEOPLE DON'T SPEED. THAT'S GOING TO CREATE EXTRA BURDEN ON THAT INFRASTRUCTURE AND BACK ALL THE WAY UP TO US AND THE EXTENDING ALEXANDER ROAD. IT IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK THE THOROUGH THOUGHT I DON'T THINK WAS GIVEN, MAYBE FOR THE 23.6 ACRES, YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK AT THAT, YOU CAN PUT X NUMBER OF HOUSES ON IT. BUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE, THE WAY IT AFFECTS EVERYTHING, I KNOW THERE'S A PLAN FOR PLANT CITY. BUT I THINK THAT CLAIMING THAT THIS IS IN LINE WITH THAT PLAN IS JUST INCORRECT. PUTTING 93 HOMES IN FARMLANDS, THE FACT THAT WE'RE HERE TO SPECIFICALLY CHANGE THE FARMLAND VERSUS BUILDING OUT IN AREAS WHERE PLANT CITY COULD ABSORB THE INFRASTRUCTURE, ABSORB THE

GROWTH AND ACTUALLY USE IT, IS JUST SHORTSIGHTED AND SOMETHING THAT WE CAN'T REALLY WORK WITH. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU, EVERYONE. NIGEL JOSEPH: THANK YOU, SIR. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP WE HAVE RUSSELL STALK. I THINK IT'S RUSSELL.

HI, GUYS. [SPEAKER OFF MIC] I'M A G.C., GENERAL CONTRACTOR, [INAUDIBLE]. I DO KNOW A LOT ABOUT BUILDING. I HAVE BUILT FOR LEONARD, D.R. HORTON, DAVID WEEKLEY, ETC., ETC. I KNOW ABOUT CONSTRUCTION. IT IS INEVITABLE THEY ARE GOING TO RAISE THIS PROPERTY UP. THEY HAVE TO RAISE THIS PROPERTY. SO WHEN THEY ADD, LET'S SAY, FROM THE HIGH POINT OF THE ROAD 2 FEET OF DIRT ACROSS THE WHOLE PROPERTY, YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK AT LET'S GO 75 TO 80 HOUSES. I THINK 67 ARE PROPOSED. YOU'RE GOING TO ELEVATE THAT WHOLE PROPERTY. THE PERMEABILITY RATE IS GOING TO CUT THAT PROPERTY DOWN 60%. IF YOU HAVE 2,000 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE -- SORRY ABOUT THAT. 500 TO 600 SQUARE FOOT DRIVEWAY AND RETENTION POND, YOU HAVE ASPHALT IN THE MIDDLE. THE PERMEABILITY RATE IS GOING TO CUT DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FLOODING ISSUES. WE ALREADY HAVE FLOODING ISSUES. THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S THERE RIGHT NOW DOES NOT WORK. WHEN IT RAINS, IT GATHERS UP AT THE VERY END AND COMES UP EVERY TIME. SO I'M GOING TO REQUEST THAT YOU GUYS JUST HAVE THEM TAKE A LOOK AT THAT DRAINAGE SITE PLAN. MY WIFE SPOKE EARLIER ON THE PHONE. AND, YOU KNOW, I DO CONSTRUCTION IN THE AREA SO I KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. WE ALSO HAVE A LOT OF WILDLIFE AROUND THERE. WE HAVE COYOTES THAT RUN FROM THE YMCA, THAT RUN THE WOOD LINES AND THEY LIVE IN THOSE WOODS. I KNOW WE CAN GET RID OF THEM BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF WILDLIFE. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE WE'RE GOING TO PUT THIS PROPERTY FOR BUILDING 60, 70 NEW HOUSES? DOES THAT SOUND LIKE AN AREA WE NEED 60, 70 NEW HOUSES? WE HAVE COYOTES LIVING RIGHT ACROSS THE ROAD FROM US. NOT REALLY. I'M GOING TO BEG TO DIFFER THAT MIGHT BE THE VISION OF PLANT CITY. I DON'T REALLY THINK IT IS. I THINK MAYBE THAT NEIGHBORHOOD COULD BE USED SOMEWHERE ELSE. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A LOT OF GROWTH. WE HAVE 360 NEW TOWNHOMES PUT IN ABOUT A MILE AND A HALF AWAY

FROM US. THAT MAKES SENSE OVER THERE. IT REALLY DOES MAKE SENSE TO PUT IT ALL NEXT TO THE CITY. I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE ABSORBED. WE DO A LITTLE SHOOTING AND STUFF LIKE THAT AROUND OUR HOUSE. WE ARE IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY. WE ARE ALLOWED TO SHOOT ON OUR PROPERTY. A HILLSBOROUGH DEPUTY, WE BOUGHT IT FROM A HILLSBOROUGH DEPUTY AND HE DID SHOOTING ON THAT PROPERTY. IT'S A GREAT COUNTRY SETTING. WE LIFT THE CITY AND MOVED TO THE COUNTRY. WE DIDN'T MOVE TO HAVE 60, 70 HOUSES RIGHT ACROSS THE ROAD. WE MADE SURE WE ARE IN THE COUNTY. WE HAVE CHICKENS, WE HAVE TURKEYS. WE HAVE THOSE THINGS. THEY ARE WELL-KEPT. AND I DON'T THINK THAT IT'S THE RIGHT MOVE. THANKS, GUYS. NIGEL JOSEPH: THANK YOU. YOUR NAME. RUSSELL STALK. NIGEL JOSEPH: IN THE MIC. RUSSELL STALK.

NIGEL JOSEPH: THANK YOU, SIR. NEXT UP WE HAVE JULIE HILSON.

GOOD EVENING, COMMISSION. MY NAME IS JULIE HILSON, I AM AGAIN PART OF THAT SMALL COMMUNITY OFF OF MUD LAKE ROAD. WE HAVE A LOT OF FLOODING. OKAY. WHEN I SAY FLOODING, 2 TO 3-FOOT WITH JUST A RAIN STORM. WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A HURRICANE. OKAY. THIS FLOODING IS COMING OFF OF THAT PROPERTY AND INTO MY NEIGHBORS' HOMES, INTO OUR YARDS. OKAY. IF SOMEBODY DRIVES OFF OF THAT LITTLE DIRT ROAD INTO OUR YARD, THEY GET STUCK. OKAY. WE HAVE AMAZON DRIVERS THAT GET STUCK. FEDEX DRIVERS THAT GET STUCK WITH A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN. TO TOUCH ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE, OUR ROADS CAN'T HANDLE THIS, OKAY. THE ROAD -- MUD LAKE ROAD WITH THE STOP SIGN, JUST YESTERDAY THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT THERE AND IT WAS BACKED UP ALL THE WAY ALMOST TO WALDEN LAKE. WE COULDN'T EVEN GET OUT OUR DRIVEWAY. ALSO, THE WILDLIFE. WE HAVE GOPHERS IN THAT FIELD, OKAY. WE HAVE BOBCATS, OKAY. THERE'S NO TELLING WHAT ELSE IS OUT THERE. BUT THOSE GOPHERS HAVE BEEN THERE A WHOLE LOT LONGER THAN WE HAVE BECAUSE THEY ARE HUGE. OKAY. I MEAN MY FAMILY HAS BEEN ON THIS PROPERTY FOR FIVE GENERATIONS, OKAY. IT'S ALWAYS FLOODED. WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD THIS WILDLIFE. WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A FARMING COMMUNITY. LIKE HE SAID, WE HAVE CHICKENS, WE HAVE PARTIES. WE LIKE TO GET LOUD. EVERY WEEKEND, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A MARIACHI BAND. HOW IS THE CITY GOING TO CONTROL THAT WHENEVER THEY HAVE A TURN-OFF TIME? ON OUR WEEKENDS, WE DON'T HAVE A TURN-OFF TIME UNTIL LATER.

AND ALSO, I HAVE A SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD, OKAY. WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE, IS HE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PLAY OUT IN THE YARD? BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A WHOLE LOT MORE TRAFFIC, OKAY. WILL I BE COMFORTABLE LETTING HIM PLAY IN HIS OWN YARD, ON HIS OWN SWING? SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AGAIN. NIGEL JOSEPH: ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, MA'AM. THAT WAS ALL WE HAD FOR THE PUBLIC COMMENT SO I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER TO THE APPLICANT FOR A THREE-MINUTE PERIOD OF RESPONSE.

TU MAI AGAIN FOR THE RECORD. THANK YOU FOR THE CITIZENS FOR THEIR CONCERNS. WE DULY NOTED ALL THEIR CONCERNS. HOWEVER, AS MR. CHAIRMAN HAS INDICATED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE HEARING, THAT THE PLANNING BOARD IS TASKED TO DEEM THIS PROPOSAL AS CONSISTENT WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THEREFORE, ANY SITE DEVELOPMENT ISSUES WILL BE ADDRESSED DURING THE SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW FOR THE CITY OF PLANT CITY. HOWEVER, STAFF DID NOTE ON THE REPORT THAT THE FEMA MAP DID NOT INDICATE ANY FLOODPLAIN ISSUES. HOWEVER, WHEN WE GO THROUGH SITE DEVELOPMENT, WE WILL ADDRESS ANY STORMWATER ISSUES THAT WILL MEET STATE REQUIREMENTS AS WELL AS CITY OF PLANT CITY REQUIREMENTS. AS FAR AS THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS WITH THE WILDLIFE, WE DID DO A PHASE 1ESA ASSESSMENT AND THEY DID NOT SHOW ANY IMPACT OR WILDLIFE FOR THAT AREA. THANK YOU.

NIGEL JOSEPH: THANK YOU. OVER TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION BOARD FOR QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, DISCUSSIONS OF THIS ITEM? COMMISSIONER LOUK. I DO THINK THE APPLICANT MADE AN INTERESTING COMMENT IN HER REBUTTAL. TRACY, COULD YOU EXPAND UPON OUR OBLIGATION TO LOOK AT SITE PLANS OR NOT LOOK AT SITE PLANS IN TERMS OF WATER RUNOFF AND SOME OF THE PRIMARY CONCERNS OF THE NEIGHBORS? JUST FOR OUR EDIFICATION OF THE BOARD AND THE PUBLIC? SITE PLANS ARE NOT A PART OF THE CONSIDERATION OR DETERMINING CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANY MORE THAN ZONING CONSIDERATIONS ARE. SO THOSE ARE FOR ANOTHER DAY. DOES THAT ANSWER AND ADDRESS YOUR QUESTION?

THAT'S PERFECT. WHERE WOULD THE PUBLIC GO TO VOICE THOSE CONCERNS REGARDING THE SITE PLAN? SO I BELIEVE THAT THE APPLICATION -- DO THEY HAVE A CONCURRENT REZONING, KRISTA? YES, THEY HAVE A CONCURRENT REZONING. AND IN PLANT CITY, THEY CONSIDER BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. THEY CONSIDER THE PLAN AMENDMENT AND THE ZONING. AND THEY CONSIDER THAT AT THE SAME TIME AT THE PLANNING BOARD AND AT THE CITY COMMISSION. YES, I'M SORRY, YEAH. BOTH THE MEETING AND THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND THEN QUESTION FOR STAFF SINCE I HAVE THE MIC. CAN WE WALK THROUGH LOOKING AT THE MAPS IN THE PACKET? IT APPEARS TO BE ALMOST A BIT OF SPOT ZONING IN THIS PARTICULAR SPOT AND THEN RUNNING AROUND ON THE DRIVE-BYS ON THE AERIALS AND LOOKING AT THE GROUND LEVEL STUFF -- THE COMPATIBILITY OF CHANGE SEEMS TO BE A REACH FOR ME. I'M WONDERING WHAT DID I MISS, DID I MISREAD THE MAPS. COULD YOU DIRECT ME TO THE MAP THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO?

I'M LOOKING IN THE SECTION WHEN WE GET TO THE END IN THE DIFFERENT MAPS. YOU LOOK AT THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE AND THEN CURRENT FUTURE IF WE GO BACK. THIS IS THE ADOPTED MAP. THIS IS THE PROPOSED. THIS IS THE ADOPTED. THIS IS WHAT IS CURRENTLY -- THE LAND USE IS CURRENTLY RESIDENTIAL 1, HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY RESIDENTIAL 1.

RIGHT. THEN WHEN WE GO TO THE FUTURE ON THE NEXT ONE, THAT SEEMS TO ME LIKE IT'S A LITTLE SPOT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEA OF R-1. I'M WONDERING IF THERE'S OTHER DEVELOPMENTS OUT THERE I DIDN'T SEE IN THE AERIALS. ARE THERE OTHER PLANS THAT ARE UNDER WAY THAT WOULD MAKE THIS MORE IN LINE WITH THE AREA?

THAT'S A VERY GOOD POINT AND WE DID LOOK. TO THE EAST YOU SEE THAT TRANSITIONAL AREA WHERE THEY DIDN'T TAKE THE STEPS YET TO CHOOSE AN APPROPRIATE PLANT CITY CATEGORY. IT'S IN A HOLDING PATTERN. HOWEVER, FURTHER TO THE EAST IT IS RESIDENTIAL 4. AND IT'S SOMEWHAT ANTICIPATED AND I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE FUTURE. THAT'S THE TREND IN THIS AREA. WE ALSO LOOKED, YES, IT IS SURROUNDED BY AGRICULTURAL LANDS IN THE COUNTY BUT IT IS QUICKLY BECOMING ALMOST AN ENCLAVE BECAUSE WALDEN LAKE AND ON THE FRIENG OF WALDEN LAKES, THERE IS SUBURBAN SCALE DEVELOPMENTS EXTENDING AND MIMICKING THAT DEVELOPMENT PATTERN. THAT'S WHAT WE ARE BALANCING IN A BG PICTURE SORT OF WAY.

THANK YOU. NIGEL JOSEPH: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION ITEMS? COMMISSIONER LINKOUS. I GUESS I'M NOT FULLY CLEAR ON WHAT THAT TRANSITIONAL AREA MEANS. I DIDN'T QUITE FOLLOW THE EXPLANATION.

SURE. SO THAT LAND HAS BEEN ANNEXED INTO PLANT CITY. THEY HAVE NOT YET DONE THROUGH THE STEP OF DOING A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT. SO NOW THE CITY REQUIRES THAT TO OCCUR CONCURRENTLY WITH ANNEXATIONS BUT THEY DIDN'T ALWAYS. SO THIS WAS FROM A LITTLE WHILE AGO, BEFORE THEY REQUIRED IT. WHEN THEY SELECT A CATEGORY, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE MAP LEGEND, RESIDENTIAL 4 IS ONE OF THEIR LOWEST LEVEL CATEGORIES. AND THE ONE THAT THE CITY TYPICALLY ENCOURAGES THEM TO GO TO BECAUSE THAT THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE ON WATER AND SEWER IN THE CITY OF PLANT CITY AND THAT IS A MORE EFFICIENT USE OF THOSE SERVICES. SO TO SOME DEGREE, YES, AS KRISTA SAID, WE SORT OF ASSUMED THAT WHEN THEY DO COME AROUND TO DO THEIR LAND USE CATEGORY, THAT THEY ARE GOING TO ASK FOR WHAT THE OTHER PROPERTIES HAVE DONE. AND THAT FACTORED IN TO OUR VIEW OF THE COMPATIBILITY.

NIGEL JOSEPH: ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, DISCUSSION OF THIS ITEM? COMMISSIONER SIEBEN.

I JUST WANTED TO MENTION, I KNOW IT'S -- IN THESE SITUATIONS, IT CAN BE DIFFICULT SEEING NEW DEVELOPMENT COME INTO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. AND EVERYBODY HAS CONCERNS ABOUT STORMS AN RUNOFF AND THAT'S TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE. BUT I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT WITH THE WELL-DESIGNED PLAN BY A VERY GOOD CIVIL ENGINEER, IT CAN OFTENTIMES IMPROVE THE STORMWATER ISSUES FOR THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD IF DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED WELL. SO IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THAT DEVELOPMENT IS COMING AND, THEREFORE, IT'S GOING TO BE MORE PROBLEMATIC. IN A GOOD CIRCUMSTANCE, IT CAN ACTUALLY IMPROVE THE SITUATION FOR THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD.

NIGEL JOSEPH: GOOD POINT, COMMISSIONER SIEBEN. ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS, THOUGHTS? QUESTIONS FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS ON THIS ONE? I'M NOT SEEING A LOT OF EXCITEMENT, SO I WILL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM AND OPEN IT UP TO MOTIONS FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS ON THIS ONE. COMMISSIONER CONA. YEAH, MOTION TO FIND PC/CPA 25-06 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. NIGEL JOSEPH: COMMISSIONER LOUK. SECOND.

NIGEL JOSEPH: ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION OF CONSISTENCY FINDING BY COMMISSIONER CONA, SECOND TO THAT MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LOUK. ARE THERE ANY MORE QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR DISCUSSION ITEMS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS BEFORE WE TAKE OUR VOTE? I'M GOING TO KICK IT TO YOU FOR A ROLL CALL VOTE ON THIS ONE, PLANNING COMMIMR. CLERK, PLEASE. BOWDEN. YES. CONA. YES. JEMISON. YES. KUGLER. YES. LINKOUS. YES. LOUK. YES. SIEBEN. SIENK. YES. JOSEPH. NIGEL JOSEPH: YES. THANK YOU. MOTION CARRIED 9-0.

NIGEL JOSEPH: ALL RIGHT. THAT WAS OUR ONLY AGENDA ITEM FOR THIS EVENING. WITH THAT, AT 6:08 P.M., I WILL ADJOURN THE CITY OF PLANT CITY PUBLIC HEARING AND I WILL MOVE ON TO READING US INTO OUR CITY OF TEMPLE TERRACE PUBLIC HEARING. IF YOU WILL BEAR WITH ME JUST A MOMENT.

NIGEL JOSEPH: FIRST AND ONLY ITEM, 2A, TT/CPA 25-01, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TEXT AMENDMENT, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT SECTION POLICIES 1.1.1 AND 1.1.3 AND THE PRESENTER IS ERICA LARSON.

GOOD EVENING, MARIELLE OVERDORFF. THIS IS A PUBLICLY INITIATED TEXT AMENDMENT. THE PURPOSE OF THIS AMENDMENT IS TO REMOVE OUTDATED LANGUAGE FROM THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT SECTION. AND ADD ONE NEW POLICY. SPECIFICALLY, REMOVAL OF OUTDATED LANGUAGE INCLUDES REFERENCES TO THE 15-YEAR MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM, THE ANNUAL LEVEL OF SERVICE REPORT AND TH CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT REPORT. THE REASON FOR THE UPDATE IS THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE NO LONGER MANDATED BY STATE STATUTE. UNDER PREVIOUS GROWTH MANAGEMENT LAWS, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WERE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN A 15-YEAR MULTIMODAL DISTRICT SCHEDULE, ANNUAL LEVEL OF SERVICE REPORT, AND A CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT REPORTING PROCESS. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT ALIGNS THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WITH CURRENT STATE LAW AND ENSURES THAT TEMPLE TERRACE CAPITAL IMPROVE SECTION REFLECTS ONLY WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR COMPLIANCE. AS WRITTEN, THE POLICIES REQUIRE THE CITY TO INCORPORATE PORTIONS OF THE 15-YEAR MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM INTO THE ANNUAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT SECTION. SINCE THIS IS NO LONGER REQUIRED, THE AMENDMENT REMOVES THIS LANGUAGE. THE NEW PROPOSED POLICY 1.1.10, CLARIFIES THAT THE CITY MAY CONTINUE USING A 15-YEAR MULTIMODAL PROGRAM FOR LONG-RANGE PLANNING IN COORDINATION WITH REGIONAL PLANNERS AND PARTNERS IF DESIRED. THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECEIVED COMMENTS FROM HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY DEPARTMENTS AND FROM HILLSBOROUGH PUBLIC SCHOOLS. BOTH AGENCIES HAD NO OBJECTIONS TO THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT. STAFF ALSO COORDINATED WITH TEMPLE TERRACE STAFF ON THIS

AMENDMENT. THE PROPOSED REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES AND THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT SECTION LISTED HERE. THESE POLICIES REFER TO THE PROCESS OF UPDATING THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT SECTION IN REGARDS TO ADDRESSING INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS, MAINTAINING SERVICE LEVELS AND PLANNING FOR FUTURE GROWTH. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT TEMPLE TERRACE CPA 25-01 BE FOUND CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES OF THE TEMPLE TERRACE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. NIGEL JOSEPH: THANK YOU. IS THERE AN APPLICANT PRESENTATION? NO? NO ONE FROM TEMPLE TERRACE?

KATRINA CORCORAN PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. THIS WAS PUBLICLY INITIATED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION. NIGEL JOSEPH: I WAS MAKING SURE NO ONE FROM TEMPLE TERRACE HAD ANYTHING TO SAY. WE DIDN'T HVE ANYONE SIGN UP IN THE PUBLIC COMMENT FOR THIS ONE. SO I WILL TURN IT OVER TO THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS FOR COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, DISCUSSION. DON'T EVERYBODY RUSH NOW. ALL RIGHT. GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ONE AND OPEN IT UP TO MOTIONS FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS ON THIS. COMMISSIONER LINKOUS. I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT TEMPLE TERRACE CPA 25-01 BE FOUND CONSISTENT WITH THE TEMPLE TERRACE PLAN. NIGEL JOSEPH: COMMISSIONER LOUK. SECOND. NIGEL JOSEPH: A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LINKOUS, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER LOUK. ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, THOUGHTS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? COMMISSIONER CONA.

NICE JOB ON YOUR PRESENTATION. NIGEL JOSEPH: YES, VERY GOOD JOB. ANY OTHER THOUGHTS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? NOT SEEING ANY, WILL ALL SIGNIFY THEIR AGREEMENT BY SAYING AYE? [AYES] THOSE OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. AND THAT IS OUR LAST ITEM OF BUSINESS FOR THE NIGHT. SO GOOD NIGHT, HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY. AT 6:15 P.M., THIS PUBLIC HEARING IS ADJOURNED. MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYON
