Planning Commission - Regular Meeting

Thank you all. Could you stand up to swear the flag, please? Pure loyalty to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic that represents a nation under God, indivisible, with freedom and justice for all.

And a moment of silence.

Is there anyone here?

Thank you all for coming. Could you pass the list, please? Present.

Here.

Good. Can I get a motion for the acts, please?

Motion to approve the acts of... What was it? The meeting of July or June.

It's June. Do you have a motion for a second? Does anyone have a motion?

I have a second. I'm sorry, I thought I had that part. I'm sorry, I have it. Yes, sir.

Does anyone have any correction or adjustment? Nothing. Voting. You don't have to do it. Very good. Thank you very much.

I'm trying to see more deeply.

Can I get a motion on our request for this afternoon? I make a motion to consider the request number of case PRSA 26001. Amendment to the MDA of the fifth modification of the Robinson PCD. I can get a second.

The property in question is located at 4900 Clyde Morris Boulevard in the northeast corner of Clyde Morris and Dunton and is part of the planned commercial development PSD Robinson approved in 1987. This master development agreement of the PSD established the allowed uses and the dimensional criteria applicable to the property in question. The property was developed as a bank in 1989 and operated as such for 37 years, but has remained vacant for 5 years. The application would allow the existing area of ​​banking self-service, where the store is marked here, to close and become an additional office space incorporated into the building and this vacant bank would be approved to be remodeled as a dental clinic. The applicant asks for two amendments to the MDA to allow this remodeling. The first is to reduce the internal lateral retreat of 15 to 10 feet, which is consistent with the standard lateral retreats of other zoning districts in the city comparable to those that allow the use of offices and institutions. And the second is to eliminate the requirement for the separation of 75 feet between buildings and allow the building to be developed under the separations required by the Florida Construction Code and the National Association of Protection Against Fire. The current dimensional criteria of the city in our territorial development code do not have requirements for the separation of buildings for commercial districts and zoning, and basically create the separation through mandatory retreats and following the Florida Construction Code and the rules of the NFPA. So if the amendment is approved, the lateral retreat for the property in question would be 10 feet. The property adjacent to the south has a minimum required lateral retreat of 15 with a real retreat of 26. Therefore, if this is approved and the building is closed and re-urbanized, there would be a separation of approximately 36 feet between the two buildings, which exceeds the separations applicable under the Florida Construction Code and the NFPA. Therefore, the staff recommends approval and is here to answer any questions you may have.

Does anyone have questions? What is the separation space between the two buildings?

That was the way I also want to make sure it was.

Based on the CPC amendment and the separation and the... That part.

From now on, you will have to present engineering and design plans.

For the building.

For the building. Yes. We are only changing the retirements.

And the separation to follow the construction code of Florida.

Very good. Yes. This place has been empty for a long time. It would be good for someone to install it. I agree. Yes, I agree.

Something else. We don't have anything else to request.

So we can do dentistry for a self-employed person. What could we do?

That would be interesting. I love that.

Price and time, guys. Anyone have questions for the applicant?

I'm going to hang up. It's a purchase consideration. I don't see that very often nowadays. So yes, it looks good on you.

No te hemos visto en varios meses.

¿Te gustaría hacer algún comentario?

Estamos muy, muy contentos de tenerte. Muchas gracias. ¿Algún otro comentario? Comentario. Comentario público.

No he escuchado nada. Sobre esto. Sobre este punto en particular.

No hay comentario. Perdón. Tiene que pedir la votación.

Mi disculpa.

Necesito una votación nominal. Sí. Yes.

I remember that.

Thank you very much for that. Commissioner Colin.

I have a question for Tim. We haven't talked in a while, Tim. I was trying to find something to talk to you about. What is the state of River Yard? I say, what's going on over there? Is there any activity or is there some kind of river walk?

It's new in the market. I think the city administrator gave an update on that in the last meeting of the council. There have been some offers. Our intention cards have been sent. The person is currently evaluating them. And as the city administrator, we are looking to present them to the council. I think in September or October. The most likely thing is that it will be in October.

So there is no plan established now.

We have the plan and the zoning there, but basically we are waiting for people to make similar proposals to those of the last group in terms of their design, how they would develop the site. Then we have the zoning framework established there to allow the use of commercial and entertainment multifamilies. We are seeing what they contribute to the table and then we will evaluate that and similar to the last time, you know, there will be a recommendation on how to move forward with a developer and we will continue forward with that. But yes, that has been actively in the market since January. So yes, about that we are trying to get another developer for that property. And if one is selected, we will probably bring you articles so that you can see them in terms of conceptual plans and things like that too.

It was a long meeting that night.

Interesting, but long. A long meeting until the night, until dawn.

Paga.

Sir, are you happy with what is happening right now?

Like with Riverwalk, or in general. Well, in general, me.

It's American football season, to start here. So, of course, I'm happy.

We do it. We like to watch.

You know, basically, we're seeing, you know, interest in the property. Yes. I don't know if you already know what we want to see there. We will basically evaluate the proposals that we have in Tamsutro.

Do you really have any interest in it now?

We have some interest in that property.

Well, that's good. I'm sure I would really like to see it.

Yes, let's see it. But you also know that there is a lot going on with the provisional uses that the city and the planning commission supported to advance. So we are working with many different people in those provisional uses. You know, the market issue has been very successful in that area. So while we keep working on the permanent solution, there is still a lot of effort put into the provisional uses to give people a reason to go to the water and enjoy that property while we look for development. And that's why I think we're balancing both sides.

Hey, I have one more question for you. Apparently, Florida has joined Maine, California, Maryland, Montana, New Hampshire, and through the H.R. 399 project. Are you familiar with that at all?

No, from our camera.

We are talking about that project.

What does that mean?

What do we expect from that? It sounds like something that is going to cause some more meetings here.

Well, there will be, I say, an amendment to the code that we must present in which we are currently working to evaluate that bill and you will see an amendment to the code soon that will basically discuss how the city will proceed. So that will be a personal report and a presentation probably next month.

Follow me. What this bill does is allow prefabricated houses or modular houses to enter any Residencial area.

Yes. Again, it is a state mandate, but we are reviewing it and we will prepare an ordinance that aligns with what the state requires and we will have the complete update in that report.

So basically, if it was approved, one could put a prefabricated house.

It was approved, so they are done. They say that basically we continue to review the language there to see how we should write our code and we will present it then.

someone, since Tim took the trouble of coming here. Does anyone else have questions? Although I did not know that the rest of your life in general. Thank you for the update too. I don't know where this fits exactly, but they told me that this is my last night. I was just going to ask, do we have any wonderful ones? They are. What happens is that they already know, they name us for a two-year mandate. And I think I just finished eight years.

that they never realized that you were still here.

Well, it was funny because I had to ask them since you have to resign to apply to the municipal council. So I had to resign with an effective date of November 30th.

And then we entered this great discussion.

I said, I think my mandate must have ended because I know they didn't re-elect me last year.

So they had to investigate a little. I think Amanda was the one who found the correct answer.

And it was, you're out. That was it. Anyway, it has been an interesting trip. Tom has been with me all the time. Bo has been with me for a long time, I think.

So what are we going to do with the pumpkin bread?

Well, it turns out that some of them followed me, which is amazing. So don't leave without a... I think that as a follow-up, that means that we have to attend the meeting of the October-November commission to be on the list of pumpkin bread, because I don't know, for the people. I think my memory is still enough to remember them until December. I'm checking everything. Oh, the name. Someone is taking notes. It's in the act, right? It's more accepted. Remember that you have an advantage. We will be attending, at least I think, to your contract arrangements for the year. Your contract here said that your pumpkin bread is necessary to extend it for another two years. I think there was an option. That was... You should have read it. I don't think you read all the papers before signing. The audience also receives one of these. Don't go.

Someone else. Stan.

If you allow me to say something. I've only been here for three of your eight years, but I appreciate all your service and part of the guidance you gave me when I started here. Do you believe it? I didn't believe most of it, but I heard. I heard everything. First three years are good.

Like this.

They hook you up and then it's just like, here you have it. But I know that his service has been appreciated by everyone. Some of whom you said yes, some of whom you said no. And everyone, absolutely everyone is sure. It's a really interesting place and I've been trying to find people to come because, as you know, these places are designated by the municipal council and I think I have a person who signed up for a position in the planning commission. The gentleman... I think... Our real estate agent.

Or not, another one of those from Roddy, no, it's... Brian, his son.

And I was talking to... ...another guy today. I was talking to Michael Agri today. To see if he would be interested. When they named me again, that was my first comment, that during the first year you don't know anything, and you just wait not to say any nonsense. And then the second year you start asking some questions, and it takes two years before you really understand what the job is. And you ask yourself why someone asked you to sit here, because you are reading things that you really don't understand.

That's what it does.

This. Yes, it's a really interesting role to be sitting here.

What you're saying is that after a couple of years you're not stupid anymore.

Om, I'm not saying I'm not stupid anymore. I say that I didn't ask any stupid question.

Oh, I was just thinking. I was just thinking about myself.

The commission, when I asked to be named again, said that they would remove my payment checks from the first two years. I clearly believe that now I have to survive until I receive another check. Anyway, thank you very much. It's a really interesting job. If there is someone out there listening who wants to do it, go to the city's website, there are the requests, fill them in and talk to the members of the municipal council. It's fine. If you don't do it, if they don't know who you are, guess what? You're not going to get any votes. Boom!

Bring the pumpkin bread.

Uh!

So it has been very interesting to see what happens and also have a little voice in what is happening. So we will see you all. Are you Mr. York? No, I'm fine. Thank you very much. Okay. Well, since there are no more comments from the public, Robert. Robert. Oh, he has a notebook. Okay. members of the Royal Reinhagen Commission. And since we were talking about River Walk, that guy who owns the fish restaurant or whatever now, I was going to build condominiums and I would like you to ask Tim what happened to that.

There he was. Speak.

The owner.

The zoning that exists, the current zoning, does allow condominiums, condos. So basically he has that right there. He just didn't move forward with the project. His project is dead. But the zoning is still there for the condominiums.

Did you want to build a New Rover?

It happens. Do you want to build a condominium or do you just want to live in it?

I mean, we're all ears, friend.

There you have it. Well, I have more than one benefit, right? How much again? Oh, thank you very much. I will raise the session at 5.46.

Stan, thanks for the bread. Thanks for your service.

I just wanted it quickly. And Robert, it was very nice to see you. Really and sincerely, I have asked for you in several meetings. I thought, you're fine, right? So we were worried. We like to have you here, we appreciate your support. Well, we were going to go... Are you part of the game? You have a better history of assistance than... You have a better history of assistance...
