We're going to go ahead and call the June 23rd Carver Heights Montlair area CRA to order. If you would please stand for the invocation and pledge. Gently Father, we come to you this evening. We ask that you give us wisdom to make the best decisions for the city of Leburg in your precious name. Amen.
I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Move to section two, the approval of the
minutes for the meeting held on June 9th, 2025. I'll move for approval. Second. We have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Seeing none, roll call. Commissioner Peterson, yes. Commissioner Barry, yes. Commissioner Connor, yes.
Commissioner Bur, yes. Chairperson Rayman, yes. Item three, discussion, discussion of budget requests for fiscal year 2026. I will turn that over to the city manager. Okay. So, this is uh this is a uh topic really for for you all to get feedback and kind of pontificate on
the upcoming budget process. uh the uh initial workshops for the bud for fiscal year 26 budget is we'll be starting about two weeks I think July 7th is the first one and then I think we tackle the CRAAS in that second meeting which is
the 12th 10th 10th okay 10th um so I I wanted the CRA to kind of talk a little bit about uh and at y'all's request uh some of the goals that you have so with that I put together a quick little presentation I handed it out to It's up here as well. Ann, if you hit the slide.
So, it's just kind of give you where the where the draft is at from a staff level right now. So, our revenues this year are about $989,000. That's only about $10,000 more in fiscal year 26 versus fiscal year 25. Um, now
we're looking like we're going to have about 10% growth uh overall our taxable uh funds. So we don't know the the breakdown quite yet of general fund and then the three tiff funds. Uh but in short that that number feels a little
low. The biggest reason why it's a little bit low is because we received notice from the water authority that indicated that they should not be paying an incremental payment into the community CRA.
That is pretty correct. Um however how the the phenomena that this had that this why this was going on is is it's gone on inception and as a water district the county has been in control of setting that levy and collecting that
levy and then it's distributed to the the to the uh to the water management district and the county included the their t their millage rate as part of what's payable to the tiff fund. Um,
in short, I think that was a generous interpretation by the county in our favor and really to make matters right moving forward. I think we're the the the concept the concept in general although no nothing formal has taken place is moving forward do not include
those special districts. the the the the TIFF fund should really only be comprised of the city's increment and the county's general fund increment and so that's why you don't see a big jump in revenue.
Um so with that just a boilerplate as far as your expenses. So, we have uh a personnel which is and you've got the details of this broken down in your in in front of you and again you'll get this agnosium as we get through the workshops but about $88,000 in personnel
general operations bunch of different things in there about 58,000 the resource center operations about 665 and then debt the debt payment is on the resource center that's about the the $100,000 payment for the million dollars or so that the the tiff borrowed
from the electric fund which I think has about three years left on it. Is that right Brandy? So it's under a thousand 600. Oh 600. Yeah. So so it's about so about six years left. Okay. So then I just made one big cash
unallocated number. So that um so there's 80 $682,100 really is what you have in projected fiscal year $26 uh to reallocate to assign to different projects so on and so forth. So then I
made another little box there on things that trying to if all things being equal if we repeat so that would give you enough money to do the another $600,000 home grant and then put the rest in reserve at 82100. Um, and then also, uh,
you've got about 530,000 in unallocated reserve funds. And if you hit that next chart, that chart that that shows you kind of our projection as of April 25 where your unrestricted cashes. So, and if you go back, so in
total, you really have, you know, effective October one of this year, which would be the new fiscal year, about $1.2 2 million of funds that you can that you can put towards whatever projects you all deem as important. So,
I thought that that was um an important kind of debrief as you pontificate on goals and objectives for fiscal year 26 and that gives you the opportunity here to discuss a little bit prior to the workshop. I have a question please. Can you go back to the explanation of the um
calculation from the county of the water district revenues? How long how many years have they been including it since inception? That's what since inception and someone realized now that it effective for this year fiscal year 26. I want to just make sure
question for you with regard to the uh the reserve balance. Yes. Previous years historically is do we like to keep half a million? Is that or is that kind of a a number that
um this is going to run contrary to to some things I you know in a in a district probably the reserve requirement isn't as critical as the general fund right or some of your other
enterprise funds. So I wouldn't be hard fast set on that. So you with that being said, you you know there's another 400 grand in reserve there. So that 1.2 could really be closer to 1.6. Um I don't know if you want to run it bone
dry. Um but I I don't think you it it's not as a hard fast rule as the general fund. Although I just think out of just some fiduciary and and being conservative, you want to keep a little cash in there. Um, but I I don't think it needs to be as great as the 90-day
requirement. Couple couple comments or question, Al. Um, number one, it's in the city commission meeting tonight. Um, the res the CRA is going to have to absorb 137,000 on the new AC, the air
condition. The air condition. Um, and I I hope I'm wrong, but I'm going to bet there will be cost overruns on Susan Street. So, I just want to keep that in mind. I just don't want to go spend all this money. No. And I mean, I like having the reserves there and and obviously with Susan Street primarily. So, the five the 532 in cash number. So,
right there that 532 less the AC. So, right off the and remember that's as of April. So, and that was a July expense. So, you've you're already looking at the 130 grand lower than that. So, it's not destitute the AC. in great shape financially. I just I'm just talking about Susan Streets. We're going to have
surprises like we do. It's a major project. I just want to bring that to everybody's attention. Those two funds, the the Carver Heights CRA and the 44127 CRA probably if we do hopefully we don't have overruns, but you know, inevitably we got to deal with them. Those would be
the two places where we would go. um question. The funding that was um pulled from the CRA for Carver Heights Montlair, I thought that was a solid amount. I didn't know that was in addition to overruns. I thought whatever
was pulled from what was granted. The the amounts are fixed right now. I'm just anticipating cost overruns, which we typically have on almost every project. That's all I'm saying. I understand. So, could we rely on the CRA from 44127 or it's going to be both? I
would think you would I think you probably want to look at both. Um, and I and you know, if we're really going to split hairs, then we probably need to to figure out because remember that the Carver Heights CRA and the 44127 CRA line really kind of split the middle of
that park. So, I mean, if we're So, if we're going to split hairs, we almost need to figure out what dollars are on this side of the line and what dollars are on that side of the line and then do a proportional adjustment. So, rough house, you know, I would think if we run over a hundred grand then then my
suggestion to y'all would be 50/50. Okay, fair enough. I was just saying when you said run over, I was thinking that if any Well, I'm I'm still hopeful, right? Anything that is not in plan, we just automatically go to CRA car height because I'm hoping to really not I mean
you want to do some new projects and things and put in place and as far as the CRA I mean I know we'll discuss that in that budget for 27441. What kind of estimate is given from the I mean what what dollars from the tiff
comes back to that each year? Do you the 44127 it's hangs out around 3 million 3 million total revenue. So that's a million and a half from the county and a million and a half from the city. Okay. I was just curious to see and then the debt on it is around a million. So you
generally have about 2 million of of and I think we've spent that one down a little bit. I don't have that number off the top of my head because we've allocated a lot of that tiff towards the Susan Street project. Go ahead. No. Um I was just going to
point out also I mean I don't think the risk is as great as it was a month ago but you know the CRAAS were being talked about in Tallahassee with the risk threat of them going away in one two three years. We also I don't want to forget about the debt service we have here. So my whole angle here is I don't
want people see these reserves and just go on a spending spend. Uh yeah, and I think on that note, it's probably important to talk a little bit about that and I think we can be I can be super brief on that. So when that uh CRA policy came out in the legislature this
past session, the initial bills were to eliminate CRAAS period. Carblanche and the only thing that was the the the saver in that was uh the ex if you had existing debt your tiff increment could still be paid and cover existing debt
but it was no new CRAAS no new projects and so remember anything you do in the CRA I think by definition is going to be a project so home grant as a project so uh the payment to the CDC would be considered a project the the the the the
the money going to Susan Street is a project. And so the wording of that initial legislation was no new projects which mean which basically meant no new spending other than debt. Uh that then
got modified to uh and whenever this start state legislature starts defining uh a specific category, it means they're picking on somebody. So then that modification uh that that legislation got modified so that there was a a
specific kind of area so they were picking on somebody and said okay no more CRAAS can be started was kind of the the how that that manifested. It's changed and then it and then it didn't go forward again. Does it come back next
year? Probably. In what form? Anybody's guess. So my advice to you is just to be mindful that that legislation's out there. You're probably going to deal with it again next session. Um and yes, you're you probably you don't want to
spend everything. Um but but most of that legislation was date certain. So start of a fiscal year moving forward. So what's in the hopper probably could stay in the hopper if they go back to something pretty draanian. Um but we we'll see where it goes next year.
And I realize the legislature could change the rules, but I just want to be sure I understood you clearly. What you're saying right now, what was talked about this past year? You're saying existing debt, would that would that phase out the county's obligation? Would it it would phase out? We wouldn't just lose half and have to pay out of our
Yeah. We never got to interpretations of what that legislation meant. Okay. And I realize you could change. I don't want to get bogged down. My interpretation of what it meant was uh if you have let's say you have a million dollar CRA and of that million dollars that you're getting
total increment half a million was debt that would mean instead of getting a half a million in an incremental payment from another jurisdiction you would only get the portion that's the half of the debt that's what I understood as well
I have um just a little concern if this is a big concern if CRAAS go away because it doesn't just affect again I still continue to say it's not just one um dis one CRA district of district 1. I think it will affect the entire city and
that's what I'm really worried about and I'm hoping that this will all be gone away and I'm being reassured constantly but in the back of my mind I'm understanding that we should play and be prepared to expect and of course if it doesn't that's a great thing we can
continue another year but if there is possibility for the CRA 441 funding if we could consider some of the homes um on the east side of town that runs on a quarter of the district one for that
area for CRA 44120 to use that CRA budget to try to apply some of the home improvement grant if we can get pull from there for homes where now 441 and 27 using that CRA for the east side of town
because there's no funding on the east side of town for town for CRA to be in the district. It is in the district. So, we're I think Commissioner Barry is going back to is trying to find and fund the home grant
program outside the Carver Heights CRA. So, the way the city has it funded currently is the Carver Heights CRA is the sole funer of the city home grant program. So it's a it's a citywide
program, but the commission and the CRA boards have only funded it in the Carver Heights CRA. So as the program operates right now, that home has to be located within the Carver Heights CRA. There's a couple other areas that Commissioner
Barry has talked to me about agnosium as well as the commission and she has been seeking other places uh to expand the home grant too. Um, and those locations would be um kind of up there by John L. Johnson Park, uh, which which might
touch into some areas of the 44127 CRA, some areas on in in kind of the I'm going to call it the East Main Street CRA, you know, the the Pine Street corridor area that is that so both of those areas don't have funding. And then, of course, if you're not in one of
the three CRAAS, then the program would be eligible for the general fund. But again, that would be uh allocations that the bodies would have to formulate. Um so this body is obviously funding the home grant and the Carver height CRA, the Carver Heights
CRA board or the the 44127 CRA board, which the city commission, you all would have to do that. Um the downtown CRA honestly in in in in all due respect that CRA is pretty tapped out with how we have the incremental funding um to um
the CDC and then the remainder of those funds go to run the event the division of the city. So there's really not a whole lot of money left. So to to fund to to really to fund and we I I'll double check commissioner you asked me to look into this and I and I failed to
do so. I think there's a tag of homes up there by John L. Johnson Park that would fall into the 44127 CRA. Um but but budgetarily wise to expand the home program to Eastern Pine Corridor, you
probably would then have to lean on the general fund. So I think this is again the commissioner's plea to this body to consider expansion of the home grant to other funds of the city. Well, that's my reason for requesting because I know the general fund is pretty tapped out and to
the penny of what is expected as well as what's res remaining in reserve. That's why I'm asking for the CRA 441 to be a consideration for the homes from New Hill Road down to I think it's right at Katroli East Street if I'm not mistaken.
And it's not many, but it's on if you're traveling north side. It's on the north side of Yes. if if you're traveling on the north side, I think there's more homes to the right versus to the left. So, that's just a consideration. I continue to get calls from um
constituents that live on the east side of town wanting and needing home improvements and asking when will this be on our side. when it was initially introduced, it was stated that the home improvement grant will be hopefully funded for the next year and the next
year with potential chances for it to come across. So, I'm just asking for the commission to consider um I know this is not the right board, but I'm just saying I'm just putting it out there of what I'm asking to consider. Just thinking about the
home improvement grant. [Music] With that said, is there any more discussion on this? Um, I also would like to um make note of um Excuse me. I don't I didn't know if
you were you saying Okay. I also would like to make note if possibilities of mending the CRA um general plan if we could consider that amendment. Say it again. amending the CRA plan.
What what kind of amendment? Um just to consider additional homes that have been built. Um I think the plan was last date 2015 and just putting in um just considering the changes that have happened just from the economic development. We have more
new homes in the Carver Heights area. Um there's other issues that we need to consider. uh will go in further detail, but I was just wanting to put it in the the mindset of some to think about. Is that you? I don't know. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. So that we can amend the
plan. You can a commissioner Barry. Again, this is Commissioner Barry's plea with the commission. We we talked about this last year and this was putting aside some money for a consultant to update the CRA master plan and in the CRA master plan
we outlined projects and and priorities of where to spend the money. We estimated I think last year that bringing in such a consultant would be about 50 grand to update, review, freshen up the project. Again, Commissioner Barry is asking this body
to consider uh spending that sum to update, upgrade, and and bring up a new priority list would be the the hope of what the consultant would bring us. It's just that we have new stakeholders now
in the area to consider. Um homes have been built, so we have more um affordable home as well as expected building to come that is has been approved. D I don't know what when and exactly when that would take place for
maybe 2026 but just want to just put it out there just to consider and I could provide further details of my reasons why but just for the sake of stakeholders in the area the economy itself has shifted um the actual district has grown more
people so just a lot to put in place [Music] the CRAAS are working beautifully Um, I remember I can't believe it's been a year. I remember the 50,000. I remember being vocal. I'd rather give that 50,000 to two more homeowners for home improvement grants versus just another
piece of paper. That was my opinion a year ago. Um, we also a year ago talked about the uh the the downtown CRA gives 50% of the revenue to the CDC. I don't want to get go sideways on that, but you know, if you compare it to the Carver Heights CRA, about half is going to home
improvement grants and half is operations and to me half is going downtown, but half is going to the CDC. So, I suggested this last year. I can't tell them how tell them how to spend their money, but you know, I think that there's some involvement there, you know, with the CDC on the homes. My last
comment, if we're going to continue to talk about home improvement grants and we're going to even begin to talk about the general fund, this has got to be opened up to the opened up to the entire city. Uh it's not fair just to focus on, you know, two areas of the city when there are plenty of areas in the city that need beautifification and home
improvements if we're going to expand it. So, that's that's my comments. Oh, that is my goal as well. I'm talking to the entire city of Leburg. Preferably now CRA is where the cash is available and that's where the home improvement is working. But I am would love to see this go across the whole city of Leburg. That
is my goal. That was my goal from the beginning. Any other commissioner comments? Any public comments? Seeing none, we will move on to roll call. [Music]
Mr. Peterson. Nothing tonight. Commissioner Barry. Um, that that pretty much was the gist of my plans and I can definitely talk further later on when we get into the actual budget planning. Commissioner Connor,
I am going to leave with the commissioners just a pre-budget thing I want you guys to look at of certain things that I want to kind of have added into the new budget coming up. So I I have it and I'll just disperse it out to you guys. Would that I think that would
need to go to Al to send it to him. Yeah. Send it to Al and then he can disperse it. Okay. Commissioner Alderman. All right. I have some things that I would like to send in some ideas. Uh I think we had talked about eventually doing a like a project meeting so that
we can just discuss things. Yeah. So I would recommend you get your ideas to the city manager and then he can disseminate those to the whole board. Right. Okay. Yeah. Just like we talked about the last meeting. Yeah. Just to bounce some things off. Yes, sir. Thank you. Commissioner Con? Nothing. Commissioner Bur? Nothing tonight.
Chairperson Reason? Nothing tonight. I'll take a motion to adjourn. So moved. Meeting is adjourned. The next meeting will start at 5:30. [Music] Everybody ready? Jimmy, you guys ready? Yeah. You ready?
Let me switch my meeting. We'll call the city commission meeting for Monday, June 23rd to order. We have had the invocation and the pledge in the prior meeting. We'll do the proclamation. Uh we have a pride month proclamation. Whereas pride month commemorates the June 1969 Stonewall
uprising in the New York City which is generally recognized as the catalyst of the LGBTQI plus rights movements. Whereas the nation was founded on principle that every individual has infinite dignity and worth. And the city of Leburg calls upon all our citizens to embrace this tenant and work to
eliminate prejudice everywhere it exists. And whereas the city of Leburg passed ordinance 15-20 on May 6 26, 2015 prohibiting discrimination based on race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, handicap, or marital
status. Whereas the city of Leburg acknowledges and appreciates the cultural, civic, and economic contributions of the LGBTQI plus community, which strengthens our city as a whole. And whereas it is important for communities like the city of Leburg to show support for all residents to actively promote the principles of
equality and acceptance and to stand in opposition of intolerance and discrimination. Now there I for I Alan Reeseman, mayor of the city of Leburg, Florida do hereby proclaim the month of June 2025 as Pride Month and encourage everyone to reflect on the ways we all can live together through mutual consideration and respect and
understanding. Is there anyone here to accept that award? Yes. Yes. [Applause] Thank you so much. [Applause] So, we have the presentation and in
recognition of K9 officer Joe Hoiser and K9 Nick. He's on his way up right now. He just went down to get the dog. We were a little concerned with all the Okay. So, I'll go ahead. I have a little thing to read. We'll read that while he's he's getting ready. So, tonight was telling
me to slow down. Now, I know what he meant. Tonight we are proud to highlight a major achievement by two outstanding members of the Leburg Police Department, Senior Officer Hoyer and his K9 partner Nick. This evening is a celebration of their second place overall finish at the
Treasure Coast Police K9 Competition. An impressive accomplishment at one of the most competitive K9 events in the region. I had the pleasure of attending this event and witnessed firsthand the level of precision, discipline, and professionalism required to comp compete. Senior Officer Hoyer and K9
Nick stood out among top law enforcement agencies from across Florida and other states, making this recognition all more meaningful. Their performance reflects the excellence they bring to our community every day through patrol work, narcotics detection, and the unwavering commitment to public safety. We're
incredibly proud of their achievement and equally proud of all the men and women at the Leburg Police Department who serve this city with integrity, courage, and heart. on behalf of the city of Leburg City Commission and all the residents of Leburg. Thank you employees. Join me in presenting this plaque in your honor and I'm we'll give
them a minute to get up here. Yeah. I would just like to thank the commission for recognizing uh particularly K9 and K9 Nick. They've uh they've competed in several competitions, have done very well. They exhibit everything that we hope that our K9 unit uh shows uh for
the hard work and effort that they put in. um they're a force multiplier to any organization and they do a lot of great work for for our city. So, thank you to the commission for your support of the police department and in particular here tonight for the K9 unit. Yes, sir. Nice.
I hear them. Here comes K9 Nick. [Applause] So I'm happy to talk to you. We are so proud of your hard work and dedication.
[Applause] He knows he's getting his picture taken. He's bigger than the Jeep. Thank you so much. [Applause] Next, we'll move on to public comments.
This section is reserved for members of the public to bring up matters of concern or opportunities for praise. Please note that issues raised during this time will not be discussed in detail during the current meeting. They will either be referred to the appropriate staff or scheduled for consideration at a future city commission meeting. Each speaker is
allocated three minutes to provide their comments. I adhere to this time limit to ensure equal opportunity for all participants and to support the efficient conduct of the meeting. Thank you. Are there any public comments? And this will be for anything that's not on the agenda. We'll allow public comments at the end on for each item, but if this
is not on the agenda, you can come up. Just state your name and address for the record. Yes. My name is Richard Tolman. I'm here on behalf of the V um the Leburg Shuffle Club. I'm a member there. I'm not a
member or I don't have an address in the I live in the villages. I don't live in Leburg, but I'm here on behalf of the shelfboard club. Um, a number of communications have been addressed with the city staff. There's been some work there and done there cleaning up the
benches and that and we appreciate that and a little bit of the uh work that was done at the hurricane through the hurricane and that was taken care of. We appreciate that. What we need though is the courts resurfaced. There was quotes that were taken last year and the prior
year there was money in the budget and then it didn't get done. Last year after the quotes came in didn't get done. If we have all the other work done and don't have courts that are sufficient to play on and host tournaments that are other players coming from across the
state to play on, then it's kind of useless. But we need the courts resurfaced otherwise they're going to get in worse shape. So I know that your workshop for the budget for next year is coming up and we wanted to address this here. Could everyone here representing
the shuffleboard club just raise their hands? Okay. We we had a little bit of a light turnout today but I'm glad we didn't have more. It's kind of crowded in here. We just wanted to bring it to your attention so that you can talk about this in your workshop. If you need
any more information on it and what is needed, please contact our club president or vice president and we can get you all the information needed. But it is a city-owned facility and it should be in the budget. I speak
to you as a former city council member back in Minnesota. And I say former, you know, I'm not a city council member anymore. I did serve and I'm just saying I know the process and when you're going to start your budget workshop, we'd like you to have that in consideration for
our shuffle boards. Appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Any other public comments? Yes, ma'am. If you guys just would create a line that way we can go right the same if if you're speaking for public comments, if you could start a line up there, that would be great. Thank you.
Okay. My name is Carolyn Kuchi. I'm a resident in the plantations development. Uh, as everybody should know, we have a new development going in next to us, uh, at our, uh, Westgate. It's called Manor
Oak. I just went to the plantation HOA meeting to find out that the developers at Manor Oak want to use our property in order to have emergency services because they've only planned for one entrance,
which means if an ambulance needs to get in, if the traffic on 33 is backed up, they're screwed. uh they do have the opportunity maybe to use the um I don't know what you would call it the causeway underneath the electrical lines or they
want to use us and that's not fair if you keep building the developers need to have the wherewithal to figure how emergency personnel can get there if there's an evacuation plan how people
are going to get out of their facilities. uh if if you know the area, there was flooding after the hurricane. There were trees down. Anyone in that new community and any other community that's uh projected
that's going in if they don't have the resources thought out, those people are going to get hurt. the communities around them are being imposed upon to a thing that is impacting our safety, our
resources. It's not right. Somebody needs to put a a little bit of a thought process into it. If an emergency crew has to get into this new development, they have one way in. If 33 is backed up with all the dump trucks,
person might not make it. And that's poor planning on the developer part as well as the city. And anyone that would leave here to go to the plantation right now, you're going to take a 10-minute or
a 10 mile process into a 30 to 40 minute uh traffic mess because of all the traffic this is generating without expanding roads, without expanding resources. So, as a concerned citizen of the plantations, I'm also a concerned
citizen of the Leburg. And I think it really needs to be addressed, looked at, and it'd be really helpful if there would be an updated map of what you've already approved because when I asked for a map, it was over three years old.
So, there's a lot that you guys have approved without updating that map for the citizens to see. Thank you. I will say that there is a development map on our website of all all the commercial and residential growth, but it's not if if I could if I could add, there is an
updated map. It's on the website. And and as far as the emergency entrance, uh Dan Miller is is floating around here somewhere is our public is our uh planning and zoning director. that that emergency in ingress egress into plantation will probably not move
forward because that subdivision in question has a boulevard entry. So there's an exception to the rule on that. So if you go speak to Dan, he can probably give you more data on that. So pretty much your whole concerns probably will be nullified on a staff level.
There's Dan. You can speak to him to get more details on that issue. Yes, ma'am. Okay. My name is Gail Howell and I am the president of the Leburg Shuffle Board Club. I and many of our members have come to ask for your help
in renovating our courts by resurfacing before they are ruined. The cost is $22,000. We have been requesting this for the last two years, but we're told it isn't in the budget, and it should be. It's always been in the budget because this is done every 5 to seven years. Our
courts are deteriorating to the point that the finish on them comes off every time we sweep and they run very slowly and very unpredictably. Other city courts like Tavaris, New Smyrna Beach, Coronado and Dand have all been renovated and glide like ours used
to. Our members enjoy playing together, laughing together, and crying together all because of the shuffleboard. 19 of us worked through the hurricane, raking out debris, carrying loads of metal and hardware off the courts, and even clearing the sewer so water could go
down. We painted, fixed, patched, taught, cooked, and garden for Leburg, as well as becoming good shufflers. Some good enough to be in the Hall of Fame. We have all kinds of shufflers. We have teens, a homeless man, married
couples, widows, widowers, and singles. All of whom make up our club with ages up to 92. And the 92year-old and I just made made it into the Hall of Fame last year. So these people are not little slouches. So you see, shuffling is a wonderful sport for senior citizens, and
we welcome all. I have asked Congressman Daniel Webster to look into a grant for us, but have not yet heard from him. We first need the $22,000 for the resurfings f resurfacing for our courts to bring them back to a good playing level by October 1st. That's when we
start our meets and they can't be done afterwards. I was told that might be done by then, but we have to have it done before. Then we would like to have roofs over all of our courts, not the nailed shut rusty ones we have now. Thirdly, we would like toilets at work when we have tournaments. It gets
embarrassing. Fourth, we would like the ceiling in the director's room fixed. I know the last three are ne necess necessary dreams, but the courts are are of prime importance. Please help us. Miss, can you state your address for the
record? Um 1313 Mo Court, Leburg. Thank you, Miss. Hi, my name is Carol Halur and I am the secretary of the Leburg Shuffleboard Club and I've had that position since 2016.
I live in the Villages, but in 2006, Leburg offered to let the villages have their senior games there, and I learned about your facility. It's amazing. I'm I don't want to speak negative about the villages, but their courts are terrible.
Um, we we have I have learned from them become a I'm a pro shuffler and I became a Hall of Famer because of the help that I got from the people in the Leburg Club. We would like to expand our club to the city. We we meet in the mornings,
but we could do the evenings so people in the community could take a chance to be in and learn shuffle board. Shuffleboard is a healthy sport. It's a mind sport. Um, we have young people, we have old people, but we need to have
your help to get this out in the community. We're willing to come in the evening to get our club to grow and let the community use it. I'd like to tell you real quickly how shuffle board started in Leburg. It was a hundred
years ago. They had a it was a community event and they had shuffle boarding. And then in 1950, the WPA made the Venetian gardens and they put 16 courts over in the Venetian gardens, but it was real
swampy and the courts deteriorated. So in 1971, our facility was made with the director's um house with our clubhouse and 24 courts. Okay, it's 44 years old. Things
get old. things need to be replaced. And Gail said some of the things that need I'm not going to repeat that, but you've kept up with giving us new courts when we needed it. You've kept up with keeping the things in order. Um, we just
are asking for you to consider redoing our courts so we can continue playing and helping us find a way to get more people involved in the city. We are willing to work with you on that matter. Um, I know you have a website for us,
but not many people that work can come in the morning. So, we'd like to expand our club and we'd like to have um your help to make it a better place. And I appreciate all you did to give us a club. Thank you. Miss Helper, would you state your address for the record? Yes.
It's 1841 Harding Path, The Villages 32162. Thank you. But I come down here all the time. Thank you, Miss Albert. Yes. Um Deborah Fred, 1205 Susan Street. Um on an agenda about a couple of months
ago, it was something on there that they were going to put sidewalks on Susan Street. Um just curious, you know, is is it both ties? Because I just can't imagine that. But my most concern is we really don't need sidewalks. We need
speed bumps because it's like a little curve and they I don't know if they be distracted, but they have knocked my mailbox down three or four times. And just this weekend, it was a fourc car accident cuz they they just get distracted. So, I'm asking if you consider because we asked for speed
bumps four or five years ago. We got an email saying wasn't in the budget telling us how much they cost. But I would like you to consider speed bumps. And if I had to have a choice between the speed bumps and the sidewalk, we would rather have the speed
bumps, especially with this new complex coming up pretty soon. Thank you. Yeah. Uh sidewalks was a CDBG application. I'm not sure which sidewalks it were that the the grant application is pending, but if you see Cliff, I just saw him
walk around in the back. If you speak to him about your speed brows, he'll take some information from you. Okay. Cliff Cliff Street will be cut off. It's traffic facility. Hello. Oh, shoot.
My name is Jacob Slal and I'm one of the teenage members of the Leburg Shuffleboard Club. So, when I was 10 years old, I won my first tournament there and that's when I became totally ambitious into playing shuffleboard. I've been playing since I was 6 years old, 7 years old, since I was this high
and holding up a stick. For the past few years that I've been a member, I've been seeing that the courts have been deteriorating. I know that they've already told you this. I'm just here to say that I'm one of the people who want to continue playing shuffleboard and that this is not just investing into the next couple of years. This is a
long-term investment that I can then continue playing shuffleboard and my twin sister Olivia also plays shuffle board with me. This is also for a whole bunch of teenage kids who could grow up learning this sport and then become Hall of Fame members like Al who's here or Carol.
Thank you. Thank you, Mr. My name is El Grfield. I'm the first vice president of Leburg Shuffle Club. I've been the president, the court master, president twice. I play professionally all over the world. And I
can assure you the Leburg courts right now would not make it in international competition. They'd shut it down. I played on every type of court there is from the Nikico finishes to uh embedded
bead courts. The central district has many of those courts. That's down in Zephr Hills, Lakeland, so on. They're enclosed facilities. They take a little bit more pride in their senior citizens and keeping them healthy, keeping them
out of the sun, maybe cheating a dermatologist out of a little bit of their money. But these courts have got to be addressed and they have to be addressed before we start the season October 1st. That's six six months of our season.
October 1st through the end of October. Our courts are supposed to be smooth like that tabletop. Right now they're so porous that the beads we use to make these discs that we use run faster.
It doesn't work. The beads are finding the little nooks and crannies in the porseness of the court. They don't do their job and people are throwing the rotators and everything else out trying to get the disc down the courts. These courts have got to be taken care
of real soon. Like I said before October 1st, um I've worked with DC Modellin. I've worked with Jennifer, Amy, and now Cliff Kelsey. Cliff's a top-notch guy, and he's helped us out in many ways,
getting our benches redone. Uh he fastened down our sliding roofs to where we can't adjust those according to the sun anymore. But people are coming to Leburg. They're not coming there to play dominoes and checkers. They're coming there to play
shuffleboard. And without the courts, we're dead in the water. We'd appreciate you getting on that as soon as possible. Thank you. Any other public comments? Seeing none, we'll move to the consent agenda. Routine items are placed on the consent agenda to expedite the meeting.
If the commission or staff wish to discuss any item, the procedure is as follows. One, pull the items from the consent agenda. Two, vote on remaining items with one roll call vote.

Do you swear or affirm that all testimony you'll give tonight will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? All right. Thank you all,
Mr. Mayor. We're all good. All right. Would someone please introduce 6 A1, 2, and 3 to be read by title only? I'll introduce. Has to be read by title only. 6 A1. An ordinance of the city of
Leburg, Florida, indexing certain real property consisting of approximately 8.77 plus minus acres, being generally located east of US Highway 27 and north of Magnolia Avenue, lying in section 2, Township 20 South, range 24 East, Lake
County, Florida. Provided that said property so annex shall be liable for its proportionate share of the existing and future indebtedness of said city. providing that such annex property shall be subject to all laws and ordinances of said city as if all such territory had
been a part of the city of Leburg at the time of passage and approval of said laws and ordinances providing that such annex territory shall be placed in city commission district 3 and providing an effective date 62 an ordinance amending the future land use map of the
comprehensive plan of the city of Leburg changing the future land use map designation of certain property containing 8.77 plus minus acres from Lake County urban low to city of Leburg low density residential for property
generally located east of US highway 27 and north of Magnolia Avenue lying in section 2 township 20 south range 24 east lake county Florida and providing an effective date 683 an ordinance of the city of Leburg Florida changing the
zoning on approximately 8.77 plus minus acres from Lake County C1 neighborhood commercial and R six urban residential district to city of Leburg Spud small plan unit development to allow for commercial and attached single family
residential uses for property generally located east of US highway 27 and north of Magnolia Avenue lying in section 2 township 20 south range 25 east lake county Florida and providing an effective date. Thank you Andy. Can I
get a motion move for approval? Second. We have a motion and a second. Uh Dan staff presentation. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Under the overall proposal for this property, it consists of 8.7 plus or minus acres. It's generally located east of US Highway 27
north of Magnolia and south of Corley Island Road. This is request for annexation smallcale comp plan and reszoning. Under the future land use would go from Lake County urban low to city of Leburg low density. The zoning would go from Lake County C1 which is
their neighborhood commercial and R six which is their urban residential to city spud which is small plan unit development. Uh they're requesting future development of 26 attached single family units which are town houses and a
commercial area on the west side there along US 27 under the PUD requirements as we stated 26 attached town houses two floor maximum height an area of commercial development which would be contiguous to highway 27 that includes
approximately 21,000 square ft of retail uses there. No other uses would be permitted in the proposal. All the units would be rear loaded, meaning the garage is on the back side of the home. And so that would give you a a shorter front setback that could be used in the
design. The townhouse units would be 20 ft in width with uh 1,000 square ft minimum size and two off- streetet parking spaces for each unit. Extra spaces are also provided in the concept plan. Um there are urban excuse me there
are design and architectural standards required um which would apply and that's a five features that must be selected from a list provided in the plan unit development. Dark sky lighting is required. There's significant buffering to the adjacent properties is provided
in the site plan in the PUD with a 25- ft buffer tract around the property. There's also a 40ft buffer required on the south side of the property. Uh landscape buffers are not part of the lots. They are separate and must be maintained by the HOAs. So they're not individually maintained. There would be
a 6'5 privacy fence provided adjacent to the parcels on the northern eastern boundaries unless the vegetation is opaque. In other words, you can't see through it and of comparable height. Uh we are requiring beet and bermuda grass, one tree on each between each lot
because these are town houses. Uh there will be signage consisting of decorative entryway feature no greater than 5t in height on the entryway. Under recreation, there's a requirement for 5200 square ft devoted to a separate recreation area which has various
amenities such as a pool, playground, trails, dog parks, pavilions, etc. The recreation area must be constructed at a the time the 13th unit is completed. That's 50% of the structures there. And finally, we have the standard phasing
clause which allows four years to reach uh substantial commencement or there's automatic reversion to the RE1 zoning standards which is one acre per unit. Um all the development has to be on city water and wastewater. Um Lake County
Public Works has given their comments including drainage and flood study, storm water management basin study um and traffic study and requested that the applicant meet with Lake County Public Works. Um, we did receive significant public response to this pro to this
request as a part of the original sending out of the surrounding property owner letters and advertisements. Uh, summarizing those comments, they included concerns regarding the wetlands that are present on the site, flooding, water contamination, trees, traffic, and wildlife. And that's just a summary. The
residents also provided a petition, which I believe has approximately 80 signatures on it, which is in your packet. Uh staff did request that the applicant would conduct a neighborhood meeting to speak with the neighbors and staff wanted to thank the neighbors and the applicant for participating in that.
Both the applicant and the neighbors have presentations tonight um which I'm sure they would like to bring to you today, Mr. Mayor. And finally, Mr. Logan Upsell from the firm Louns Caner in Orlando is here to answer any of the questions that you may have, sir. Thank
you, Mr. Miller. Any comments for Dian before we move to the developer presentation? What was the the planning commission recommendation? The planning commission recommendation was two to five in a no vote. They they
recommended a denial basically. Thank you, sir. All right, we'll move forward with the developer presentation. Is the developer here? Yes. had a hike today. Good evening, Logan
Opsall, 215 North Yola Drive. Good to be with the commission. I'm going to grab the clicker. I see it here. Do you have their presentation, Miss Anna? We do not have it. It's from the May May 12th. No changes.
We don't have that. Yeah, it should have been rebrought to us. Sorry. Hey, they don't have the presentation. I don't know. It should be It's in the main
Here comes Mike. Sorry. Thanks. That should work. May 12th. All Thank you, Miss. Thank you very much. Appreciate everyone's patience. Um, so I'll be I'll be brief because Dan went
through this. We are here tonight on second reading. So, I want to touch on some of the specific details, particularly what we heard from our neighborhood meeting um and some of the changes we've made in light of those. Um, so I'll move forward with this in haste and then at at some points uh
cover more substantively. But here's the subject property. It is an assemblage and what Dan noted to you previously was there is some split zoning although there is a consistent uh future land use there in Lake County. Here's a look at the future land use map. We are urban
low density consistent with the area around us. There's urban medium across the street and you have some some denser development there to the south. Currently counting zoning designation is C1 and R six. Again, consistent with what's around in the area. I want to
pause here just a second because what's unique about this project is we're here with you tonight and and virtually identical entitlements standpoint from unincorporated Lake County to the city. Of course, we're here because the
interlocal service boundary agreement designates this property uh as being annexed into the city for the provision of utilities. What's being accomplished through your PUD process is a mixeduse of C1 retail commercial, which I have
some renderings we'll get to, and of course the site plan, and R six uh consistent with the R six zoning. However, uh what's being proposed to you today is a total of 26 units. So, in Lake County, because of the underlying future land use designation, we have R
six zoning, but because of the underlying future land use designation, we're capped at four units an acre. What's being proposed to you today uh equates to 2.96 units an acre with a commercial component, again, consistent with what you see today. So, this is the
previous concept plan. This is not what's before you tonight for approval. This was what was proposed at the neighborhood meeting and and working with staff. It shows the town homes which had uh this this equates to 46 units and a
smaller retail component. Uh in our discussions with your city staff and what we've heard from the neighborhood meeting is a reduction in the unit counts would be appreciated. Uh other topics we'll we'll cover as well. Uh what we've heard somewhat consistently
at the neighborhood meeting at first reading um and from staff is that the retails out there. We understand that Highway 27 has significant uh commercial and that there's there's not a a large issue with the commercial. Um it's the
retail component. Um this is another look at the previous plan. And so what we did is provide for 40 approximately 40% reduction in units to allow for 26 town homes. What you see
here is an improvement of the open water which connects to Lake Harris. You also have a uh significant retention pond on the northern portion of the property to accommodate any flooding uh any runoff and all the storm water as required by your city code.
What you'll also note is it allows the retention of a whole lot of natural vegetation and buffering. Um particularly on the east side with the recreation, you can see a tree preservation area. It's pretty pretty heavily wooded uh at that portion of the
property. And so Dan mentioned in his uh initial presentation that uh we we can maintain that that vegetation or provide fencing. What we've heard consistently is as much of the vegetation we can preserve the better to allow for that buffering. So signifi significant
buffering and of course a whole lot of uh capacity for uh storm water and and again that open water which US 27 drains to. If you'll indulge me very briefly, I want to call up here Mitch Collins, our project engineer. uh he's going to spend
just a minute uh talking about the retention pond, this open water area, and and specifically some of the concerns we heard about flooding and and runoff. So, Mitch, hello, mayor, commissioners. My name's uh Mitch Collins, uh 801 East South Street, Orlando. Um I'm the project
engineer. I just want to give you a broad overview of some of the permitting requirements that uh if we're fortunate enough to move forward after tonight, uh we'd need to work through in order to get under construction. Um this project's a bit unusual in the amount of uh permitting site related permitting
that would be required. Um we would have looking specifically at storm water. Um we would have two local agencies, two state agencies and one federal agency that would uh be reviewing the project. And again that's just regarding storm water. Um city staff would review to
make sure that our pond is sized large enough and that we're not uh affecting any existing drainage patterns for neighboring properties. uh Lake County Public Works both because of our driveway on Magnolia and our storm water work and any uh modifications to this
canal. They would also be reviewing the project. Um I believe they're already aware of the work. Um we have a requirement to have a St. John's River Water Management District permit. They're going to be reviewing the project as far as storm water uh drainage as well as any wetland impacts.
Um, we have a a Department of Transportation permit that we need to get as far as any impacts to the canal. We normally need a permit for any ponds that drain to the department. Um, in this case, we actually have the the
department draining to us on its way to uh Lake Harris. So, we've had meetings with them and uh that would be a very complicated and detailed uh review. Um if everything goes fine with that, we have a uh some flood zone uh impacts
that would be proposed. Um that would need to be approved through the uh through FEMA. Uh so that would be the f federal agencies. So in total there will be five agencies reviewing this. So if we are fortunate enough to move forward tonight, I just wanted to provide that assurance to you that there would be
several agencies reviewing uh the project and that's specifically with uh with regards to storm water. Thanks. So, appreciate that outline and and of course there is a whole lot of permitting that goes into this which we we know and and expect for a project of
of this caliber and in this particular area. I want to outline those because we're here tonight at zoning. uh we're coming to you on the annexation uh to avail ourselves to to your code and your requirements, your design standards, which we're happy to have reached a a
really successful resolution here. Um and and in working with the neighbors, but also to outline that at this at this stage, this is the concept plan, the unit count, uh the the layout that we would be committed to. Uh but as we move
forward to engineering uh we have full confidence in your staff uh thirdparty consultants and of course federal state and your agencies to effectuate a fully engineered plan that handles appropriately the storm water runoff for
the site and for the area as outlined by the project engineer. This is just another look at the proposed concept plan which shows that it's uh kept at two stories. a little bit more detail on the layout of the parking and where things will be located in relation to
the aerial we just saw. Just some future land use and zoning maps for your reference. So, I I think this is a helpful slide because it outlines what uh we've been able to achieve in hearing some of the concerns, some of which you'll you'll
hear tonight. Um there'll be two phases of the project. the the retail commercial component and the town home residential component. What was initially initially proposed was 42 town homes. Tonight for your approval is 26. Again, that's approximately a 40%
reduction with significant buffering setbacks, landscaping, preservation of uh natural vegetation, and of course the retention and improvements to the open water for the storm waters. uh expansion of the retail commercial
component to better service the area which was feedback we heard uh both from residents uh and and the city. Um and of course that equates to a big reduction in density um to under three uh from where it was at 4.79.
Um again in the county it would allow four dwelling units an acre and keep in mind as well that what's being proposed from the county C1 to to urban low to again in the city a reduction in density
commercial and and and residential while being able to achieve these significant setbacks and a minimum of 35% open space which is in the ordinance before you. Here's a conceptual rendering of the of the town home. This is the residential component um with some unique
architectural details that will meet or exceed your city code. And commercial uh this is the commercial buildout uh concept plan which shows the elevations for what would be built out on US 27. Um we do have a recommended approval
from staff. Uh I will tell you we've done a number of things. Uh I'm going to go back just a few. We've done a number of things and and working through this process. It's been over a year going through um this process and and and working with your staff providing things
like the recreation area, tree preservation, extensive buffering, reduction in units by approximately 40%. Improving the open water, the canal to allow for better flow. Uh there will be a boat ramp there to accommodate kayaks
only, not motorboats. um improvement of the open water and retention pond area to alleviate uh some of the flooding that quite frankly happened during the hurricane and we can appreciate those concerns. This uh keeps all of those capacities in mind uh fully
amenitized with a small trail and a courtyard before you. So quite a number of list of things we've been able to accomplish and I just want to thank your staff, your time, your resources and particularly those folks who are here and and some of which remain in opposition but I want to thank them for
their time and thoughtful feedback and represent to you that those have been heard and affectuated to the best of our ability. I'll reserve a little bit of time to respond to specific comments but thank you for your time. Thank you sir. Any comments for the developer?
I know in the first reading we heard a lot of comments on the wet lands and all these drainage concerns and I and I I don't think everybody understands the process. I think you touched on it and I appreciate that how there's you know St. John's all these other people with oversight but I guess if you maybe we're going to hear the we're going to hear
the opposite from them. I guess if there's any more you could add to that maybe you want to include in your wrap-up. I just know that's been a big topic and I do understand it that projects have to be self-contained uh and so forth. I mean it is a lowlying area. Sure, I have concerns, but that's I guess that's not really my role. I
mean, I'm not here to manage the wetlands. Um, that's other agencies, but uh if there's anything to add to that, may maybe do it in your wrap-up maybe now. But that's I heard so much comments on that in the meeting and outside the meeting. Yes. And I'll be very brief because I I know we want to get to
public comment. Uh, yes, that's a good note. There's there's open water. So, we understand the topography is is rather low in relation. uh the open water will remain. There are some impacts to to a wetland area around the water. Most open water has wetlands surrounding them. Uh
Mitch, maybe you can briefly talk to the fact that we have to self-contain the drainage very briefly before we move into public comment what that requirements are. Uh sure. Um of the five agencies that review this, um when FEMA reviews it, they'll be looking just at the flood zone issues. Um basically
the the city review, the the county review, uh DOT and especially St. John's. Um the two main items they look for is uh are you uh retaining the storm water you need to retain before you outfall to someone else. And the second
item would be that you're not affecting uh any existing drainage patterns of any neighbors. So both of those items are going to be looked at by four different agencies, primarily St. John's and and uh Lake County. Um but those are the two main things that we'll have to be uh
will have to adhere to and that will be reviewed by several groups. So um will be looked at by uh like I said two local agencies, two uh state agencies and then then also FEMA. Um, but all of them will be looking or four of them will be
looking specifically at are we providing enough storm water uh management facilities on site and number two are we uh make sure that we're not affecting any existing drainage patterns for any upstream or downstream uh neighboring properties.
Thank you, sir. That was Thank you, Commissioner Peterson. We're happy to cover specifics as well. Thanks. All right. Any other comments before we open up for public comment? We're going to open it up for public comment now if you would. Um, this is for people who were sworn in. If you would come up to the microphone and create a line and
everyone will have three minutes. And don't forget to state your name and address for the record. Good evening everybody. Um, thank you for your time. My name is Michelle Norb. I live at 4243 Corley Island. Um, I was here for the meeting before last and I
wasn't able to speak last meeting. So, I know you've heard a lot of what I want to say also, but what I want to reiterate is the way that these the neighborhoods are designed. We're elevated and everything runs down into this wetlands.
It works 99% of the time except when we get overrun by a hurricane. If you look at the original slide of this proposed area, it's heavily heavily wooded with mature, beautiful trees that drink all
that water and keep that area um level, if you will. When those trees are removed and concrete and asphalt and recreation areas are put in, there's there's there's going to be no balance.
It's going to be a concrete playground. Those wetlands are alive, too. There's so many animals in this whole area. Gopher, tortoise, eagles, turtles, frog, you know, it's it's an it's it's its own
environment. And our neighborhoods are used for e for owls. If this development goes in and those lights are put in, then we lose our owls, too. So, please take that into consideration. I
appreciate your time. Any other public comments on these items? Yes, sir. Did you Did you get sworn in, sir? You did. You did not. So, we'll do it one more time. If you're here to speak on any of the items, you do have to stand up and get sworn in.
Okay. Yes. Thank you all. Anybody else that was not sworn in previously, if you would stand up and raise your right hand so we can get you sworn in. All right. Do you swear affirm that all testimony that you'll give tonight will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? Okay. Thank you. Thank you.
Yes, sir. You can come up. I'm Lauren Lon at 29213 South Corley Island Road. My house will be on the very back side of their recreation area. I've lived out there. my entire life which has been 75 years so far. My
grandfather bought bought and that property back in the 20s. So where the town houses are at one time was a pond. My grandfather dug a drainage ditch in there and it drained it out. So that's
why you see it the way it is now today. and uh they crossed Corley Island Road where Dr. Littinger's office is now. There were three small springs that fed under the road through there into that
where you see the pond there. Two of them have been covered up. One is still working. And so basically where the houses are was a reptention was a pond area that we drained out for
cattle at the time back in the 40s and the 50s as before a lot of you people were around. But uh I've been I'm not too happy about the recreation area being built right behind my right
beside my house. But uh that's gives you a little more idea of where where that was. That was all a ret a pond at one time. Not a retention pond, but a pond that was a natural pond. So
that's all I got to say. Hello, my name is Victoria Williams, 4227 Corley Island Road. Um I have lived there now 16 years with my husband Jack Jr., My father and mother-in-law could not be
here. They're Jack and Deianne Williams. Um, they are dealing with some things right now, but they have asked me to speak and to ask, please do not allow this to go through. I understand there's growth. I understand people want it, but right
here, this is not it. There is a lot of wetlands back there, and once you take out all of that, it is like Mr. list and said it is literally going to be like a sinkhole city back there. And I understand there's going to be fil dirt or whatever brought in, but if you look
at all the different subdivisions and things coming in, there's a lot of places getting sink holes because too much is being put and strained on the resources here. I know a lot of people spoke about water runoff, storm runoff,
and I can attest to it because several hurricanes were up to our knees if not more. And my husband and I live on a higher elevated part, but the house that my in-laws live in, it's up to their door almost. We do not want this. I know they do not want this. Our whole family
does not want this. And the nature that's also behind there and the canal is it's going to be devastated. And we really would appreciate if you would vote no for this. Thank you. My name is Mark Staylor. I live at 4246
Lanzen Lane. It's right off of Corley Island Road. Um, the only thing that I want to bring to light is when you guys make your decisions as far as what's going to be built and what's not going
to be built. I understand that there has to be certain amounts of fill brought in to build on. When you do that, you're bringing up that elevation and there's absolutely no way you can tell me that that's not going to affect the
neighborhoods that are in place currently. Number two, if they go to build this, how are they going to get their materials in there? Are they going to build that bridge right away when they're not going to build the rest of the recreation facilities right away?
How are they going to get all that material in there? most likely coming down Corley Island Road through the back end of the property and in right through our neighborhood. That's three years worth of aggravation.
And then we will have what we have, which will be probably most likely flooding. You can't do it without it. I mean, I know uh I watch the news at night like you all do. You see the flooding after storms, the best minds
that were available at the time said, "Well, okay, we're going to do this, we're going to do this, and we're going to do that." It still happens. I can't see where this has to be squeezed in to an existing neighborhood
that all of the things that they've done still aren't going to address the main problem. that you're taking a natural wetlands and you're building on it. Simple fact.
Thank you. Any other public comments? Yes, ma'am. Good evening. My name is Jamie Queen Roosevelt. I live at 29411 Jesse's Lane. Um, I have lived in this neighborhood
for nearly 40 years. I've lived there pretty much my entire life. Um, I am extremely blessed to have a daughter um, who I just had. She is now four months old. I would like to introduce you to her. I bring this up because I was
blessed enough to grow up in a neighborhood that we were able to ride our bikes through the neighborhood. I knocked on the door of pretty much everyone there at some time or another. The Williams family, their grandmother, Mrs. Carmichael, I regularly visited.
Uh, someone lives in Mrs. Goodrich's house. Now, I say this to help you guys understand, we are a family. We're not neighbors. We're a family. My daughter, we refer to my next door neighbor as Mimi.
Uh, Mrs. Williams, we refer to her as Aunt D. We are bringing in additional people, doubling the population of our area. She has input, too. Um, I'll be taking her three minutes now. So, doubling the
population of our area is not the way to go about uh building our family. All it's going to do is tear us apart. Um, I do want to bring up also that in all of this development, everyone out there is
on wealth. What will this do to our wells? I know living on the lake, we already have enough issues, well issues, drainage issues for those wells and those septic systems. What is this development going to do with the
pre-existing and in most cases very old structures that are already there? I know when my house was built 40 years ago or 38 years ago, we still have all of the the plumbing and everything from that point.
Advancements have been made since then, but I really don't have the $50,000 that it would take to make those improvements to make this a viable option for me. I do want to touch on what Mark was saying about bringing
in dump trucks and things like that to access the back of the building or the back of the property. So, the average SUV is 50 I'm sorry, 85 in or just over 7 feet, not including
the mirrors. That's the axle width. The narrowest area of our road of Corley Island Road is 112 in or less than 10 feet. So in other words, this is not including mirrors. If you drive through there, you have less than a foot and a
half on either side. Again, not including your mirrors. What are dump trucks going to do? Any other public comments? All right, we'll Yes. Yes, ma'am. Sorry. Hi, Angie Lon, 29213 South Corley Island
Road. Pull the microphone down just a little bit. There you go. Is that better? Yeah, I can hear you better. Um, hope I can remember. We're, as my husband said, right next to the recreation center, that little piece of road that's owned by this development
that comes out into the funky tea. I have concerns about that and the six or eight houses that properties access from that road. I've expressed concerns before. I've never heard answers. I'd really like to know
for these couple homes if this goes through, is there any chance of something coming in the future that the development could
limit or interfere with our access on that road? Is there anything where they could claim they need to do something? they need easement and they take easement off of our property that our lots are then reduced. Who maintains this little chunk of road? Um, if this
is zoned in the city because these few homes are now only accessible on a city zoned road, would we be forced to go onto city water, city sewage, anything
at all? are are all these just crazy fears that I can totally ignore or is there any legitimate concerns for anything? And that little chunk years ago when the county paved that
road, they forced us the execut of that listed estate. That was all of that property. Um, she had to sign that over to the county. that should have been under county rule. I don't know how that ever ended
up in the development. Um, but it is what it is. So, what happens now? What are future negative impacts if any? So, thank you. If anybody's got answers, I'd
love to know them. Any other public comments? Yes, ma'am. I can't stand up, but I just say there are no curves at any you know um
part that uh is part of this and that side they're saying that u this is not going to have a fence on the west side and we own the property that backs up to this uh area that they're talking about
parking cars for overflow And we're right next to it. Yes, ma'am. Ma'am, can you can you say your name again? I'm Diane Kelly. Diane Kelly. Thank you, Miss Kelly. Any other public comments? Seeing none, we're going to
close public comments and we'll give the developer a chance to answer any of the questions from the public. Thank you all again for your time. I would take a note so I want to address all of them. Um I'll kind of go in reverse order so it's fresh on
everyone's mind. Uh first there is a portion of the roadway. It's it's indicated on your screen as a private roadway with easement. That's not going to be impacted by this site. And so I want to just state on the record for for your comfort level as well that that will not be interfered with this
development. In fact, there is a a legally binding document that that allows uh that runs with the land that allows access to those roadways. We would not be interfering with that area. And if it would be helpful to make that as an additional condition, we're we're we're very much comfortable with that to
ensure that that will not be interfered with. Um the the fencing that was just me mentioned, the tree preservation area is heavily wooded. Um, and I my understanding is is preferred not to interfere with that by virtue of installing a fencing. However, I believe
that the PUB ordinance accomplishes that already. But again, if we want to put in there that fencing be required in that area in addition to the tree preservations to to make sure that any glare is is accommodated for or other uh
issues raised, we're in agreement with that as well. Um, again, we talked about flooding. uh we are mandated to accommodate flow both before and the after. We've addressed the the topo and I I actually the history lesson was really enlightening that this was
previously drained but I want to be clear that that there is a significant portion of this property that that is upland uh that is where the residential going. I noted at my case and chief that there are some wetland areas around the open water. Uh all of those will have to
be fully permitted, go through all the proper uh jurisdictions and permitting agencies. That open water area will remain, will be improved, allow for uh the flow of water into uh that drainage basin into that open water which the
surrounding area would benefit from particularly in instances like a hurricane to allow that flow fully engineered in the after condition which again we're legally required to do. um phasing uh access around Corley Island Road. I that I can completely appreciate
that infrastructure will begin on a hor horizontal basis. So it will accommodate the access roads first. If we need to come up with again a condition that that relates to access, we're comfortable with that. Uh we do not want to disrupt this neighborhood, particularly folks that have lived there for decades. Um
and I will say thank you again to this to this group. Uh their feedback continues to be positive, substantive, and things that we can address. So, I I thank you. I've actually enjoyed getting to know them and and please give my best to your mom and dad. I've really enjoyed getting to know your mom and dad, Mr.
and Mrs. Williams, as as well, too. Now, in conclusion, I will wrap up this time with with where I started. This is a unique project. um what's being proposed to you, why why we're here, why I'm at this podium in the first place is by virtue of the interlocal agreement that
was negotiated and executed by the city and and and the county to allow for the provision of utilities here. The silver lining in all that is we we avail ourselves now to your performance standards, your design criteria, your requirements, and the conditions that are in the PUD and the ones just offered
to make sure we're providing the best project we can. This is not a whole lot of concrete. That's a whole lot of preservation of tree areas and open water and a retention pond. Why I keep saying this is unique is because this isn't
agricultural land. This is not we're not creating uh entitlements out of nowhere. This is zoned commercial and it's zoned R six in the county. that what we're providing you is the same development program but with far less density and
again to your city's standards and requirements and no matter what we do today those entitlements exist and I just want to be clear about that for everyone's purposes those who have been sitting with this for a year and providing all this feedback deserve to know that and uh I
appreciate their feedback and how we've been able to address it with your staff which is ultimately uh recommending approval and thank you for your What is what is the width of the road to get back there? The proposed of the
asphalt the proposed asphalt road is I believe 35 ft. Is that correct, Dan? It's in the PUD. I'll pull it up. What are you talking about? This would be the road. You're talking about the boulevard entryway. Commissioner, I'm talking about to get back to your subdivision. This one right here on the
north of Mr. That doesn't exist. Okay. We're gonna the proposed public city standard city standards. So it looks like 30 feet 30t when it's back and it's 50 ft of rightway at the mouth
40t wide. Thank you. And just curious your your your roadway is going across. I'm assuming the I'm assuming the blue is water. Yes, sir. It's an existing canal into Lake Harris. It's open water.
So, how So, you build a bridge or you There will be a bridge over that open water. Okay. And the bridge will be the same width as the the bridge will be 30 feet. Yes, sir. I I just heard some comments in the back. I I don't know if they can
hear you or they clearly understand. But what I heard you represent to me is this is your only this is your only entrance. It's your primary entrance and you just I just heard you say the site work will all be done first. So the I just want them to be clear the road will be built.
Sure. And I can let Mitch confirm this is the the boulevard opening there is our main access point and there is an exit on Magnolia as well. Yeah. I just wanted to clarify that there would be a a second access point on Magnolia that's proposed. So, it's
not 100% just on uh US 27, but just at the bottom of the screen, there's a U access to Magnolia, which I believe is a county uh roadway. Do you need a second exit for the this size? I I don't see it. Number one, number two, I didn't think you I didn't think
you needed one. Sure. Let me handle these in kind. The canal doesn't go that far south where it's being shown on Magnolia. Um that's that's all canal goes all the way to the lake. Yes sir. Do you So how do you get access to Magnolia? So on the bottom left side
that's that's all part of the upland portion of the parcel after you come off. Yes sir. Yes sir. Okay. I thought you were referring to I appreciate I appreciate the clarification. Yeah. Thank you. That helped me too. Thanks.
Any other commissioner comments? All right, seeing none, we will do roll call on Thank you. Yes, sir. Thank you. 6A1. Well, I mean, I I thought you meant for him. I have Oh, no. Sorry. Go ahead. Um
I I just think this is a really bad location for any type of development. Um I I just don't think we should be putting those type of units, twotory units down here in this this area. I'm sure most of it is sensitive, but um
with with um vegetation, everything else, but I just think it's a bad location to be put any additional development. And you know, I've heard several times, we can do this in the county. Well, then how about this? Do it in the county because they're coming to us because the county is not going to let them do it. Let's be honest. I mean,
that's why they're coming to us because if they can do it in the county, then let them go to the county commission and get the county commission to approve it. I don't think we should approve it. I I know the the zoning and everything else density they're talking about. Well, they're coming to us for a reason because the county is not going to let
them do it. I don't think we should have let them do it either. So, I think we should deny the annexation. Any other commissioner comments? All right, we'll do roll call on 6A1. Commissioner Bur? No. Commissioner
Peterson? Yes. Commissioner Barry? No. Commissioner Conell? No. Mayor Reeseman. No. So with that, the project fails and 6 2 and three fail as well. Yeah. Two and three would become moved. Mr. Become
you. Yes. All right. We'll move on to 6 A, four, five, and six. If I could get someone to please introduce those. We'll give it a minute for the room to clear. Thank you. If if you guys could remain quiet. [Music] Did we get a motion to
introduce yet? Yes, sir. Okay. All right. So, if we could get someone to introduce 6 A45 and 6. I'll introduce and ask to be read by title only, please. Thank you, sir. 6 A4 an ordinance of the city of Leburg, Florida, annexing certain real property
consisting of approximately 39.05 plus minus acres being generally located north of East Dwey Robins Road and south of Dwey Robbins Road lying in section 5, Township 21 South, range 25 East Lake County, Florida. Provided that said
property so annex shall be liable for its proportionate share of the existing and future indebtedness of said city. Provided that such annex property shall be subject to all laws and ordinances of said city as if all such territory had been a part of the city of Leburg at the
time of passage and approval of said laws and ordinances providing that such annex territory shall be placed in city commission district 3 and providing an effective date. 6A5, an ordinance amending the future land use map of the comprehensive plan of the city of
Leburg, changing the future land use map designation of certain property containing 39.05 05 plus minus acres from Lake County Rule to City Leburg Estate Residential for property generally located north of East Dewey
Robbins Road and south of Dewey Robbins Road lying in section 5, Township 21 South, range 25 East Lake County, Florida, and providing an effective date 66, an ordinance of the city of Leburg, Florida, changing the zoning on
approximately 39.05 05 plus minus acres from Lake County Agricultural to City Leburg PUD plane unit development to allow for residential for property generally located north of East Dwey Robbins Road and south of Dwey Robbins
Road lying in section 5 township 21 South range 25 East Lake County Florida and providing an effective date. Thank you Miss Handy. Can I get a motion to approve? Second. We have a motion and a second Mr. Miller. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Excuse
me. This is the Bar Key 2/Grace Groves property. It's request for an annexation smallcale comp plan and reszoning to SP to PUD. Property as indicated is 39 uh plus or minus acres. Generally located east of US Highway 27 south and
south of Dewey Robbins Road as you can see on the map on the screen. project is surrounded by the existing Barke Grace Groves project and is proposed to in in the end be a part of that project. Um project was not under contract at the
time the Barke project was reviewed and approved by the city commission. Um so it's basically just going to be integrated into the overall Barke project. Future land use would go from Lake County Rural to City of Leburg estate. The zoning would be Lake County agricultural to city PUB planned unit
development. Um the request is for future development of 156 single family units. Um does not over add to the overall density of the existing bar project. It simply becomes part of it. Um two floor maximum height under the
PUD requirements. I should say you have 156 single family detached units. Two floor maximum height. It will be a platted subdivision. So individual units will be sold just like in the rest of Barke. No other uses are permitted in the proposal. There are the standard
design and architectural requirements that require listing five features choose choosing five features from the list of architectural features. Again 35% in open space which is exceeded the dark skylighting. Um significant
buffering is provided to adjacent properties in the PUD around areas that are not directly bounded by the bar key development. So if they're adjacent to the existing bar key that they become part of it, they don't have to have that buffer. There's
an open style fence or a landscape burm which will be required along the eastern boundary of the site. Um landscape buffers are not part of the lots as always. We are allowing BA and Bermuda grass instead of St. Augustine, the standard sign requirements, no more than
5 feet in height at the entryways. And we did receive a letter from Lake County requesting that we work with them on um taking over some roadways in the area. Staff is working with the city manager in Lake County to um in that regard. And
our PUDs are written specifically to support any roadway upgrade requirements that Lake County has. So, we will add that. um we will work with them on that. And then finally, there is a phasing or expiration clause which you have heard before that allows the four years or um
going back to RE1 zoning requirements. And Miss Cindy Terrapany of Terrapany Planning Strategies is here to represent the case and answer any questions you may have. The planning commission did recommend approval on this project. Dan,
I have a question for you, sir. Uh what was the reason this 39 acres didn't come in when the Barke property was originally brought in. It was not part of it was it was separately owned. That was a couple years ago and they So, they're continuing to add property to
Yes, sir. This this one um actually is surrounded by the uh Bari property. It was kind of a hole in that in that PUD and they were they were ongoing negotiations going on for a long time. So, any other questions for Dan for the
developer presentation? Yes, ma'am. Thank you. Good evening, uh, mayor and commissioner. Cindy Terrapany with Terrapany Planning Strategies. I represent the applicant culture development. Um, just to um add to Dan's comments, uh, Commissioner, um, this
case today that you're hearing today, we're calling it bar key 2 really, you know, original as compared to the original bar one, the larger property. It's completely separate ownership. It wasn't available. Wasn't under contract at the time that BARC, the original Barke went through. It has subsequently
been put under contract and that's why Culture is here today to add it to the rest of the Barke project. Some of these is there a Yes, right there on the side. Um, just briefly, you've heard this before. I'll just outline our staff
that's here with me today. Um with from Brookfield Culture is Eric Morset the vice president with them. Also Tom Daly who's the landscape architect for the project. Our civil engineer Brett Tobias our traffic engineer Iman Sidi and Biotech is the environmental consultant. They're not with us today but they're
working furiously I'm sure back at their office on all these projects. A culture has been around since at least 1997 over 28 years. And they're building communities in these five states. Um they have 100 plus active projects and they have recently done a project um it's similar size and scope and
complexity um in Lady Lake. This is the uh just an um a master plan for that project really just to illustrate the culture um has the capability financially and management wise to be able to do projects of this complexity and size.
So as uh Mr. Miller mentioned the site is kind of the hole in the middle of the donut. The blue outline there is the original Barke that was approved, you all approved in November 2022. The yellow 40 acre outline. So you can see it's surrounded on three sides by Barke. The east side to the east of it is um
the Anthony property that is always also approved for residential. This is the original uh concept plan for Barke. Um and this is the master plan for Barke 2. this parcel we're talking about today.
It will access through the lighter yellow colored parcel and then onto the loop road. It is landlocked today. So, um really Barky is really the only is the most logical developer um for it to be added into. It's only 39 acres. Uh has no road
frontage at all of any type. Um the maximum proposed development is 156 single family detached units. And again, as I said, they'll access through the existing village 10 of Bar Key. Yeah, I'm sure you all remember the access road, uh, the loop road, um, for
the project is is a pretty major feature of the project. Um, the project has two major entrances. One on US 27 and the second one on the north side at Dewey Robbins Road. Um, the loop road that's shown in the dark orange on this map shows how the project project will be
completely interconnected. You can go from one village to another without having to go go on the local roads. You can also get to the commercial shopping center which fronts on 27. It's the west edge of the property without again without going on any local roads just through the loop road proc uh loop road
that is proposed. Actually it's that part is approved and the a phase one of this project has been approved by the city in March of this year. It includes 546 units. the major in the original entrance, the big entrance on US 27, the
secondary entrance on Dewey Robbins Road, um and the community amenity center on on the lake. So all of those are part of the first phase of the project. This new uh Bar Key 2 part portion, the 40acre portion will be in phase two of the Barke overall
development. Again, just to show you um how the project will be laotted out and again show you how that uh new bar key piece is added in. The orange is the parcel that we're talking about today to be annexed and added into your comp plan into your zoning code. The blue is an
estimated size of the storm water management area. Uh just one quick slide to show you. We have just just slightly under one acre of wetlands,8 acres of wetlands on the that little blue dot in the very southern portion of the property.
We are asking tonight for a voluntary annexation into the city of Leburg. Um as I mentioned before, the site is surrounded on uh three side well four sides by city property. Three sides of those are Bar Key 1, the fourth side being the Anthony property. We're also
within the ISBA area for the city of Leburg to annex. The plan amendment request is the same plan category as exists on the Barke one and exists on the Hodgees Reserve to the north, the Anthony property to the east, and Lake Co to the west. So, it's the same plan
category that you have in this area. And the reasoning, all those projects I just mentioned are also in the city's PUD zoning district. Of course, each one of them has their own master plan, but they're also are in uh using the PUD district, which the benefit to you all and to the public and to anyone who buys
in that project is it's what you see is what you get. Only the only things that can be built within that project are exactly what is shown on the master plan that you all approve. And if you approve the second uh portion, this bar key 2, same thing would apply. It's exactly
what you see is what you get. No major changes can be done to either this part or the larger original Barky one unless it comes back through the public hearing process. Uh again, this is just what I was mentioning. All the surrounding properties have the estate residential
plan category. Just a couple of quick uh notes about different comp plan policies with which we are consistent. within the 45 foot lots uh um both in Bar Key 2 and the original Barke. We are adding additional parking at the ends of
each blocks to account for overflow parking, parties, holidays, things that you know where there might be a need for additional parking where your family comes over for a big event. Want to make sure that didn't overflow into the streets. So these would be parallel parking spaces at the end caps of the
blocks. And as was required by your code, we're happy to present these architectural elevations. They are the same models that will be in bar key one. There are three models uh excuse me, four models. Three of them are one story as you can see. The fourth one is uh the other
fourth one is a one-story. They range in size from 1500 square feet to 2400 square feet. So we think they'll be very compatible um with the neighborhood and with what's going on in that particular area. Uh before I finish uh and then happy to answer your questions, I just wanted to
mention um I've had the pleasure of working with uh Mr. Miller and his staff, Miss Harper and Miss Van Allen, um now for gosh almost six months, I guess. Um it's the second project we've worked on with them. I found them to be extremely professional. You're very lucky to have a really great staff.
They're professional. They're thorough and fair in their evaluation, and they're genuinely nice people, and they return your phone calls, and we appreciate all of that. So, I just want to give um Dan a shout out in public. We do appreciate that. I'm going to stop here and I'll be happy to answer any of your questions. And again, if you have more technical questions that I can't
answer, our engineer is here as is our landscape architect and our traffic engineer. Any questions for the developer? All right, we'll open Thank you. We'll open public comments. If you're here to speak on these items, you have three minutes. Please state your name and address for the record.
Feel like I should live here. Um, Michael Anne Houston, 8601 East Dewey Robbins Road, technically in Howy, but I want to just say you have already approved just on Dewey Robbins Road, in case you aren't aware, 3,440 homes on
just Dewey Robbins Road. That road is what, two miles long. Now you go down south Dewey Robbins and there's another,000 homes going on South Dwey Robbins all the way on East Robbins to 27. How many cars do we have to put on
these roads to make it totally inhumane to be there? People are selling their homes now. Nobody wants to live near this. I'm sorry. If I wanted to live in the villages, I would have bought in the villages. You have destroyed the entire neighborhood, everything out there. There is no farmland. We just came from
Lake County City Council. They know that farmland and agriculture land is being thrown to the wolves constantly. They're working hard. Actually, amazingly enough, Lake County City Council is against all of this. They actually want to preserve agriculture land. They want
people to be able to drive down a road or ride a bike down a road and not get hit by cars going by you. Also, since none of you care, this is the road that they use when the turnpike blocks off and they have to divert traffic. I can't
even get out of my own driveway because they divert the turnpike onto 19 east Robins south Robins Dewey Robinson back up to 27. This is not just your housing. This is also an emergency road. But go ahead, put 20,000 cars out there and
don't think anything about it. This you you've just made the whole neighborhood just the worst. I mean, is this the intent to really We are the people that Well, I don't get to vote because I live in Howie, but the people who voted for you didn't intend for you to make every square inch of Leburg concrete. Nobody
in the world would want that. Would you please stop? They really need another hundred. And funny, that number wasn't even in your little bylaws thing, but it was in your listing. They really need another 147 acres or 150 some homes. Seriously,
can we just stop for a minute? Why don't we stop and see what happens with what they're doing? All of this destruction out there is going to cause a problem. Do you have to say, "Okay, do it. Do it. Do it." Can you just stop? You're creating a snowball. You aren't prepared
to stop because you're doing it. How's doing it, and Groveland's doing it, and all three of you have access to these roads. It's really shameful. Any other public comments? Seeing none, we'll close public comments. Would the developer like to say anything
in regards to that? Uh um well, what I will say is um all the project all the roads within our development are required to be they're the obligation of the developer, of course. Um number two, any improvements to Dewey Robbins Road that's required by the county, which will be required by
the county, um are also the obligation of the developer. a separate developer is putting a light is obligated to put a light at Dewey Robbins Road in 27. Not our developer, but a another developer on that road. And if and when uh the project triggers a traffic signal at its
main entrance at US 27 and the main entrance to the project, we would be obligated um to put in the traffic signal at that point as well. Um, so we're we're we're regulated by FTO of course and by this county for Dewey Robbins Road and of course by you all
for your um for your development as well. We really feel like with two entrances, two major entrances to a project that we will be able to handle all of that. But again, we're not talking about Bari 1 today. That project has been approved. We're only adding the
39 acres with 100 maximum of 156 lots to the Barke project. Um, that's what we're asking you to do is just that last 39 acres um to be added. I'd be happy to answer any more questions that you might have um for me. Thank you so much. How many how many lots does Barky have in
it? Uh 1,700 was the maximum approved on 717 acres. Any other questions? Any other commission comments? Seeing none. I I mean I Yeah, that's what that's what Yeah, this is what this is
for. Please go ahead. I agree with some comments made today. Um as I've discussed many of times, we have over 30,000 lots already approved out here in the city. Um there's already 1,700 already approved of Barke. Do we
really need to add another 156? I don't think we need any more lots. Um, you've got a slew of them. It would take the city 30 years to build out what you already have. I don't think we need to keep adding to, in my opinion, an existing problem we already have. Um, I
think we need to consider this and and and not move forward. I mean, they've already got 1,700 lots to build on. It's already been approved. I don't think we need to add plus or minus another 150 to it. Any other final commission comments?
Seeing none, we will do roll call on 6 A4. [Music] Commissioner Peterson, yes. Commissioner Barry, yes. Commissioner Cono, no. Commissioner Burray, yes. Mayor Reeseman, yes. 65. Roll call. Need a
motion. Motion to approve. Yeah, we need a motion. Motion. Motion to approve 65. We have a second. We have a motion and a second. Any final discussion? Seeing none at roll call. Commissioner Barry, yes. Commissioner Conell, no. Commissioner
Bur, yes. Commissioner Peterson, yes. Mayor Reeseman, yes. Would someone please make a motion for 68? Motion to approve 686. Second. We have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Seeing none, roll call. Commissioner Connell.
Uh, no. No. Not on the density. Commissioner Bur? Yes. Commissioner Peterson? Yes. Commissioner Barry? Yes, Mayor Reeseman. Yes. [Applause] Before we I did want to say one thing and I think Al touched on this. Uh,
paragraph 3E of the 2014 ISBA agreement between the Lake County and the city ensures that all current and future roads are brought up under the city dedication. Can we do a study to see which roads need to fall under that? You want to take that or Yeah, we'll we'll speak to that. the the agreement um
stipulates that if the city accumulates a certain percentage along roadways then that roadway becomes the cities with some maintenance requirements. That paragraph is a little tricky for two reasons. Uh the reason number one uh how do we calculate 50% of the linear
roadway the because the the paragraph stipulates collector roads. So we're probably going to have some issue or we need to have some discussion on what the definition of a collector road is going to be. So for example, Dewey Robbins a collector road could be the 50% of the
the linear frontage from collector roads which would be 27 and 19 is any little intersection along 27 a collector road for example. Um, and then the second one is the last sentence of that paragraph has a however clause that kind of then
unwraps the the maintenance requirements. Um, as you all know, we sent a uh or I sent an email to the county to talk about some JPA issues, roads being a primary one. So, we'll have some initial discussions with the
county on how we go about firming up our portions of of the ISBA agreement. But as far as your adoption, I don't think what we added uh this evening complicates that issue any more than it's already complicated. All right.

Motion to approve 6A7. Second. Motiony. Mr. Miller. Sir. Um, thank you, Mr. Mayor. This site, as indicated by our city clerk, is 81 plus or minus undeveloped acres. Part of it's undeveloped, the backside, I should say.
The request of is basically in four separate parts. One is an annexation, one is a small scale comp plan, one is the zoning, which is standard. Then we added one more which would be a planned development overlay under the future land use. It would go from Lake County urban medium to city of Leburg general
commercial. The zoning would go from Lake County R six which is urban residential to city C3 general commercial under this very simple uh PDO we put together. Um, it would allow for the standard C3 general commercial uses
along with, and I want to point out the property right here. Um, there we go. You have the 301 Richie Road, which is the existing building. This property down here, and there's a fence running along the east side, the
south side, and the PDO requires a fence along this side as well. Um, and that's where they wanted to have the RV storage. So, there's nothing on there now. They wanted to add RV, boats, those
kind of things to storage there. Um, there's no other, it's a very, it's a straight zoning other than that. Uh, standard C3 zoning like the rest of the property in the area. Um, so the sundown provision is not applicable because it just goes to a straight zoning. We
didn't have to put much um much into this. The proposed use is consistent with the zoning standards and comp plan. We received no comments from Lake County Public Works and we got an approval from one neighbor as long as there was a fence. So, it's it's really just
annexing a piece of land zoning at C3 like the property and there may be a zoning map in there, Anna, I I believe on one of the next pages, I hope. Um, but that'll show you it makes it consistent with the zoning in the rest of the area. Yes, sir. I I thought I saw something. One of the
neighbors wanted a higher fence or That's correct. The neighbor that meet that criteria. Yes, sir. Um he wanted and what we did was put in the PUB that it could be from 6 to 8 ft. Anywhere from six up to eight. So, um if you want us to require the eight, we can do that.
I have Would the eight be only on the Richie Road portion or the eight can be wherever you want it, sir? Because I know they do. They already have a fence on the back. There's fence on the south and the west side. I think I might have said east earlier, but it's on the west side and the south right now here and
here. But we can make that requirement if you like, sir. Yes. I would like to see it at 8 ft. Okay. Especially with RV and the height of those the height of things. Yes. Okay. Taller fence. I would like to ask does
will tractor trailers be included in this or is this just tra I mean any kind of outdoor storage would be possible. Yes ma'am. And anyone can utilize this property. It would be open it would be open to the public as long as you paid your monthly fee. Yes ma'am. And then
this would be protected and um secured for security reasons for anyone. The fence would be the security. I do not know if the applicant plans to add any further security measures but at least the fence would be there as a security. this be possibility for jobs for people
for security? I would hesitate to say yes on that because it's just a fenced area. If they wanted to hire someone as a security person, they they would have the option to do that, but I'm not sure it would not sure it would be needed. It's it's a
small space. It's point. Is there anything in the language that when they put RVs or semis there that no maintenance can be done on site? We can add no maintenance. And how long are they allowed to sit? I mean, how long to be there? I'm thinking
of um RVs that you roll out to put in that would that Yes, ma'am. That's But is it all specific for each vehicle? A storage, someone pulling something, a you RV, a tractor, trailer, a boat. I'm just curious of what it would be.
Somebody might pull their boat out summertime so it's out every weekend then back in winter time is there. Is there a term to say 6 months, eight months? That would be that would be whatever they wanted to do in the contract. Yes, ma'am. I think it's like
a storage facility. It's a parking lot. You're written a little place. My cons Oh, go ahead. Yeah, I'll just jump in and say I think there is some difference um potentially in terms of how long the person might be renting their space. I think that if it's 6
months or lower, I believe they're considered a transient uh renter. And so that's a little bit easier for the landowner to deal with removal of those types of folks. A little bit more rights come the longer you're there. If you hit that six-month threshold, then you get a little bit uh a little bit stronger
protection, I I believe, is my understanding of that. So, it very well could vary depending on whatever the owner wants to do with their sights and um you know, someone may have an RV like you said that's you know easily movable and and someone may be storing something
that's a little more difficult but and this could be done with any private property in a commercial zoned area or I mean if they because we are having other things going forward. I'm thinking now food trucks. Um, in terms of the
food trucks, we've got we've got an item coming up about that and I think the answer potentially is yes. It depends on the individual site, but I I believe that something like that would be possible. Dan, I thought this I thought this was a
permitted use under C3. Well, I did too until we found it wasn't. Okay. Okay. Okay. I mean, I didn't mean to question you. I was just No, that's I mean at least it was a couple years ago. My last comment and I we talked about it when we did our ride along. Yes, sir. Is there anything to add? It can't be an
immobilized vehicle. The vehicle has to be running. I know there's trailers, but like a junkyard. I just don't want it to become like a junkyard of dilapitated. We can we can add under um it would be required. Everything that's allowed under the C3 zoning would
be allowed. We can call out that it cannot store junk vehicles. You know, it would have to be something like that. I believe that is called out in the C3, but we can add that as as a particular that uh um must be licensed, registered, something like that. I would think I
mean I I'll just say I don't have any problem with the annexation, reszoning, whatever. I have my concerns with outdoor stores. We Lord knows we drive you drive down the roads, we have enough junk already we're staring at. We don't need to keep adding to this problem. Um, well, this this this one's set well well
off the road in a area I would call heavy commercial, light industrial, so it's a pretty good fit. I understand it's not the main drive, but still, I mean, I I just don't want to continue to add to something I think we already have a problem with. I would think anything that's stored out
there, I think it needs to be very limited. I think we need to have a real scope of what is allowed. Um, I agree with you, Commissioner Barry. Tractor trailers, I I don't see it. Um, if we're going to limit to boats and RVs, then I think it needs to say boats and RVs. Um,
and I think anything that's there needs to be properly registered and tagged. It's this isn't a just a junkyard drag in some old piece of junk and you Well, I don't know what to do with, so I'm just going to leave it here for a year and I'll figure it out later. I mean, I
just no problem with the zoning annexation, but I don't know we need more outdoor storage, but if we're going to do it, I think there's need to be some major restrictions on it. Commissioner, I I disagree. I think we're grossly overly complicating
outdoor storage area for the applicant. Um, my you seen some of the other stuff down that outdoor storage? I would not approve this on a major thoroughfare. It's it's this is a good location for this type product. I'm just trying to be respectful to the applicants. Well, I mean, I'm not trying to be disrespectful
and just say I just I just don't think this I'm not saying it's a bad fit. I'm just saying it needs to be some high restrictions on it if we're going to allow more outdoor storage in this town. I would like to add, please, I don't want to see this on a major thoroughare foot as well. Um, I agree to this area,
but I'm just concerned now that with what's in yards that need to be moved to an area to be parked here. When you ride through neighborhoods that are in our HOA or have nothing but my personal property,
you have a boat or RV and now you're going to have maybe possibly a food truck. I'm thinking that we have to have something stronger restrictions put in place. the length of time, the in and-out, security, something just to provide.
I respectfully disagree with all that. We're about to talk about an ordinance, you know, that addresses food trucks have to leave their basically moved out every night. So, that's, you know, you can't you can't go block storage areas in town. I mean, I guess I'm missing something.
You're saying they just they Well, we won't let them store at their house. So, they're they're going to have to resort they go to this place if we would approve it. Exactly. So, which is a perfect fit. That's a in and out. That's what I'm stating. That's what it's for. That's what I That's what I'm saying. I'm not That is what I'm saying. I stand
on my comment. I think we're overly complicating it. I'll try to be quiet. There's no restrictions on what they can store. Is that what you're saying? In this area. Okay. First of all, it's only 081 acres. He can only store so much. Um I don't want to be a We're not approving a junkyard. That's a different
zoning category. Um it's not if it's not tagged and registered. It's probably junk. So, I'm not going to argue all those points. Um, I I I just think we're overly complicating it. Um, we don't want a junkyard. I agree with that. The tractor trailers, I don't think that's
how his intent is, but the property's big enough, but so we can put a restriction on. Um, that was just a question I'm asking you. It stated RVs, boats, and I was asking if that's that's what I think of. There is a problem with tractor trailers being parked on sides of roads in community in residential
areas. This is need and that would be in the county by the way in the city that would be prohibited. Yeah. So that's a code violation. Exactly. So they're not only are they on the side of the roads, they're also in their back against their side of their homes. So that is my concern. I'm not disagreeing with the
zoning. I'm supporting. I listen. I mean I'm hearing what you're saying. But my question, I'm just concerned is will there be more of these? Will we have to hopefully get an area to store things if we have something coming down the pipe
that will make um food trucks move? They can't go to their homes, right? Trailers that drag um yard landscaping industries, they can't park their trucks on the side of somebody else's property or on this would be ideal for a
landscaper. Yes. to park um boats, RVs, landscaper. The owner and applicant is here if you'd like to hear from him. But I I do have a question. Why Why can't we limit on what could be stored there? As long as we're reasonable. I mean, let's talk to the applicant. I mean, tractor trailers, I don't think he
cares. Um I don't think that's his intent. I I more parts. Um I I know you're I know you're going with that. Um, I I just got through saying I don't support it on a major thorough affair, so I don't need I don't need that kind
of badger on the applicant and see what his thoughts are. Um, good evening uh, commissioners, Mr. Mayor. My name is Chris Kelly. I reside at 4525 Myrtle Street in Edgewater, Florida. And, uh, first of all, I want to thank you and also thank staff and
Dan. They did a great job in helping us go through this process. This was sort of a an evolution overlay. Uh initially we didn't really have any kind of a storage facility in mind. We still don't. Um our first preference on this
property actually is to uh put a warehouse uh that meets all the setbacks and possibly have some outdoor storage because there's some types of businesses that like to store for instance PVC or something if they're in the sprinkler
business or whatever. So having lay down space uh as they call it in the uh industrial storage uh or in the industrial business having that as availability could make that a little more marketable. And I think what Dan and his staff was trying to do was to
not have us come back before you with uh something that didn't meet what your requirements were under the zoning that you have. So this is sort of evolving into something that it was never intended to be. Um, our first preference really is not to store boats or RVs or
junk or any of that stuff. Our first preference is to put some sort of a warehouse. And we have talked to an engineer locally here in the city. I think he's done several projects with you guys and and and have them do a conceptual plan because it's not part of
a storm water uh retention system that's in place for some of the other properties around it. So, we'll have to we'll have to come back. we'll have to store water to do a development and it would be small. Um, but we're we're sort of just trying to uh not have to come
back before you for a second um a second time and I'm uh sensitive to the comments that have been made about what's happened on Main Street. I've seen it. We don't want to be a part of that either. Our our intention is to have a very clean uh nice warehouse with
possibly some outside storage if that requires going from 6 to 8 ft. There's already a nice white vent uh vinyl fence on two sides. We keep it mowed. Uh we're doing our best to be good neighbors. We own the warehouse that's immediately adjacent to it to the north. Um and we
just we're just looking for options, developmental options, and just trying to keep the door open to do something that's going to be beneficial for that property. and for the city and and just a good business move. So, we're open to your suggestions. Um I certainly have no
um issues with junk and cars and boats that aren't registered and all those things. We would not entertain doing that anyway. And to be blunt with the commission and and you, Mr. Mayor, we really don't want to get into that business. But I think um Commissioner Connley before has said, "Well, if it
gets approved, it rides with the land." and he's absolutely correct. So, I'm sensitive to what your what your wishes are. So, gaging the commission, you're okay with 8 foot fence restriction uh registered entitled vehicles and then is the commission want to just put a
restriction on no semis and then allow the other ones. Is that are you happy with Commissioner Canel? I would like to conclude. I mean, I know the space is limited, but and I Mr. Kelly, I mar I think this is a great idea and I think it's much needed in the
city. I just would just had questions like how would they enter in and out? Do they just drive in freely? Is it an automatic gate of Well, again, we're to answer your question, we're really not interested in doing that product at all. Our our first preference is to put a warehouse and and in some cases those
those types of businesses like if they're I could think of one that was in Sanford. was a sprinkler supply um business and they had the warehouse where they they stored a lot of their stuff, but then they also had racks outside where they kept a lot of the PVC. Like for instance, if it's a
plumbing business or something like that. So, it's it's outside storage, but it's not RVs. And in some cases, businesses need to um if they're in the um uh you know, they do land development, they might have uh pieces
of equipment like skid steers or something. they need to put those in a place and so that might be considered outside storage. So it's in conjunction with a warehouse concept. I don't think that we're really anticipating going into the storage business with it being
a self, you know, standing boat or RV, although Dan and his staff has brought this because it's not part of that zoning um wording. So, you know, but again to to be sensitive to uh Commissioner Connley, you know, we're
you know, once it's once you vote on it, you voted on it and and if we sold the land, then that then those entitlements run with the land and we're sensitive to what you guys want to see uh longer term. So, um Okay. So, it's a warehouse that you're putting in. That's our
objective. Stacy, boat. That's their final objective. They're still working on that. So, right now, they're wanting to do storage. Their ultimate objective is to do a warehouse later down the road, but right now they're with us for storage. Okay. So, take the warehouse out of the picture. Right now, we're
focused on storage. So, we've had discussion. If someone wants to make a motion, Commissioner Canel, then we can move forward. Um, well, I mean, I just want to clarify now referenced possibly PVC piping and everything else. Now, we're getting them completely away from vehicles. Correct. I mean, so what is
it? I think if if I'm going to pass it, I mean, I I want it listed on what is permissible to be stored there. If if it's just going to be an open-end storage u that they can just kind of put whatever they want out there, then I'm going to absolutely know what if if I
may, Mr. Mayor. Mr. I didn't explain it correctly to begin with. I apologize for that. He wants to come in and use the C3 uses basically expand the existing warehouse or add another warehouse. The PDO is simply to add an option for
outdoor storage if it is necessary once the project is annexed. For example, if a plumber uh someone does sprinkler systems, as he was saying, they're going to need that storage area to lay out their pipes and and they need large amounts of storage. When you have
outdoor storage, you can easily get into vehicles. That's not his primary consideration. And the primary consideration is to warehouse either a new small warehouse or expand the existing one. But the PDO is simply to
say if outdoor storage is needed then you can use it for outdoor storage. But if you use outdoor storage we have to take into account that people may want to rent a space for an RV, an old car, um whatever. And if you wish to restrict
that to say no semis. Well, let let me ask you. That would be fine. But it would be a great place for the the um uh food trucks. Can we can we do the annexation and reszoning tonight? Not do the PDO until we get a a full list
easily of what would be allowed underneath it. And if you if you'd allow us to put it off for u we we could do that, sir. You have to do the PDO. Yes, but then we need to to res
Well, actually, isn't it just an overlay for 10? So, that's a separate separate separate zoning. So, I don't think we need to I I'm with you. I'm with you. Yeah. Yeah, I'm with you. So, we need time, date, and location. We can bring back the list at that
meeting. We can if if this is first this is second reading. So if we if we continue it annex it tonight do all three and then when you get to the zoning and land use we just make it a
time certain. Okay. Just the PD just the PDO piece. Just the PDO. Yes sir. Okay. That would be great. We can make that work. We can get a list for ready to go. Just to kind of give you a little
history on it before you before you do your vote. There was 50 ft that was owned behind the existing warehouse there when we purchased that warehouse. We added another 50 ft from the owner to the south and none of that property that
81 acres was wasn't was still in the county. But some of our tenants that were um that are leasing that space in the warehouse were using that big grass field to park trailers and they were parking uh linares there. They're parking some of their trucks. So
actually technically they're parking on county property and they're using it to to park a couple vehicles there. So, um, we acquired the extra 50 ft and then this all we we realized we got to bring this into the city and we've got to change the zoning so that we meet what
your expectations are as a city. So, that's that's how this all sort of began. We actually do not have any kind of a business plan for that property. It may stay uh a grass field for quite some time, but at least the two or three cars
that are there or if we have a tenant that um has a a trailer that they need to park behind the warehouse that's there, we'll have the fence up and at least we'll be in compliance with what the city would want us to be. So, well, may I ask?
May I ask then and you come back? Can we have a business plan of what you are looking to do with this? Doesn't temporary storage ancillary to the primary to the
warehouse, right? Okay. Wow. Um, any other commission comments before we open up for public comments? Any public comments on these items? All right. Seeing none. So, we're going to vote on 6 A7, which is the annexation of the
property. Yes, sir. You already made the motion to approve. I I'll second it. We We already had that. So, any final comments? Seeing none, roll call. Commissioner Bur? Yes. Commissioner Peterson? Yes. Commissioner Barry? Yes. Commissioner Connell? Yes.
Mayor Reeseman? Yes. All right. Would someone please introduce 688? Motion to approve. Motion to approve. We already introduced this. A motion to approve 6A8. You're right. Sorry. So, we have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Seeing none. Roll call. Commissioner
Peterson? Yes. Commissioner Barry? Yes. Commissioner Connell? Yes. Commissioner Bur? Yes. Mayor Reeseman? Yes. Would someone make a motion to approve 689? Okay. So moved. Second. Motion a second. Any discussion? Seeing none, roll call. Commissioner Barry, yes. Commissioner
Connell, yes. Commissioner Bur. Yes. Commissioner Peterson. Yes. Mayor Reese. Yes. 6810. Would someone make a motion? Motion to approve. We have a motion. Second. And then but we're going to amend that. Motion to table. Someone
make a motion to table it till I move that we table this um 610 until is it two weeks? July 14th. July 14th when we have more information to consider before voting. Good job. Second. We have a motion. We have a second. Any discussion
on that motion? Roll call. Commissioner Connell? Yes. Commissioner Bur? Yes. Commissioner Peterson? Yes. Commissioner Barry? Yes. Mayor Reeseman? Yes. Would someone please introduce 6 A11? Introduce has to be read by only. Yes.
We're okay just by going to the table with that, right? Or do we need do we need a Yeah, we didn't we didn't deal with 10, right? Yeah. No, but we amended the motion to table 10. That's right. Yeah. Just to confirm, Andy, the yes
vote was a motion to table item 10 into July 14th. Correct. Yes. And that passed. That's all we need. We're on. Okay. All right. Would someone please introduce 6A11? You did. We have a Do we have a second? We have a motion in a second.
Giving Andy a second to catch up. You're good though. 6 A1. An ordinance of the city of Leburg, Florida, amending the city's code of ordinances, chapter 25, section 25-292, parentheses 18, mobile food vending,
providing for conflict, severability, and an effective date. Motion for approval. Motion to approve. We have a motion and a second. Uh, Mr. Miller. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. As noted in the June 9 meeting, there has been a significant increase in
the number, excuse me, of food trucks in the city over the last few years. Uh the city's under the city's current ordinance. Technically, they're required to get a permit and meet specific standard listed on the permit specific standards. The Florida legislature preempted permitting on food trucks
under section 509.102 102 Florida statute which included that we can't require licenses, registrations, permits and fees. Um this is the case with food trucks, tree permits, group homes, business tax receipts, other functions of local
government when the legislature chooses to control those because of that preemption staff is charged with updating the local codes to meet those state requirements. And under the ordinance that is being proposed for you, I'm just going over this real quickly. There'll be three
options to allow for mobile food vendors. One is to require a letter of location compliance, which we're allowed to do under the state statute. That's not a permit. That's just saying this location in particular meets the requirements of the ordinance in the
statute. Two would be to allow them two times per year under a temporary use permit. That's if someone comes in and says, "I want to try this spot. See if it works." Then they could come back for a permit if it worked. excuse me, for a letter of location compliance. And
finally, would we be allow mobile food vendors in conjunction with a special event such as Bikefest, Artfest, and those kind of things. So, at the June 9 meeting, senior planner Max Allen gave us a presentation about the proposed changes to the mobile food vending
ordinance and answered some questions from the commission. And she is here tonight to go over the revisions of that ordinance with you as requested by you last meeting. Thank you, Mr. Miller. Good evening, commissioners. Today,
staff is providing an update from first reading on the mobile food vendor ordinance, city code section 25-292, parenthesis 18. Next slide, please. Thank you so much. So, the first section that was amended
was section I, location requirements. We added no active unresolved code enforcement cases as a requirement for an eligible location. Um that was per commission wishes. We have also added no
mobile food trucks within a 200 ft buffer from a brickandmortar restaurant unless express written consent is provided. Also per commission wishes. This secondary uh location requirement that I mentioned is based on the
following research. Next slide please. Thank you so much. So we conducted some research looking at 500 ft, 200 feet and 100 ft radi. We were looking at this particular
location and we measured from food truck to property line in this case for this study. So the 500 foot buffer you can see is quite large. We have uh four conflict areas that are uh showing up
here as brickandmortar restaurants. The yellow dot in the center is our mobile food vendor and you can see that the larger yellow circle the buffer crosses North 14th Street and beyond. So, our research shows that for the 500
foot buffer, we're dealing with a very large radius with the potential for many conflicts, especially when it comes to smaller parcels with single mobile food vendors. Next slide, please. The 200 foot buffer is a more medium radius. In
this case, we found two restaurant conflicts. Still crosses across North 14th Street in this case. So, we are still picking up a good area. It's not so much radius, however, to pick up extraneous conflicts. This is planning and zoning's current
recommendation based on the research. Um, backing up a little bit, this research involved plotting the current mobile food vendor permits on a map and then running this buffer to create the the circle radius. Um, so that this is
just one case example, but we did do this for every permit going back to 2023. Next slide, please. The 100 foot buffer staff feels is small. In this case, we did find one restaurant conflict at this
location still, but it did not sufficiently cross across the street um as the other buffers have. This is highly dependent on where the mobile food vendor is parked on the property. if we were measuring from food truck to restaurant property line. So that was
our major concern with the 100 foot buffer. Next slide please. Moving on to section K operational standards. Uh we clarified special event permits would allow overnight parking in
the case of weekendl long special events such as bikefest. Uh we also added all state licenses must be clearly displayed to customers in the window of the mobile food dispensing vehicle during operation per commission wishes.
Next slide please. Next section was section L grounds for revocation. Clarified the police as the backup enforcement agency outside of city code enforcement operating hours. We also added no unresolved code enforcement
cases for mobile food vendors, vehicle or principal business. So this is another area where we're clarifying that sir. Um we wanted to add that those changes came about as a result of the conversation from our last meeting. So they're all specifically taken from what
you asked for. Yes. Thank you, Mr. Miller. Moving on, we discussed at the last meeting a food truck alley. So staff went ahead and identified three sites, one publicly owned, two privately owned
as potential options. The first being this portion of the city resource center property highlighted in green in the top. This is a city-owned property. We would need to work out some sort of mechanism for food truck leases. Um, and
we felt this was an appropriate area because there was a lack of restaurant options surrounding there. So, this would fill a need at this particular site. Next slide, please. Another option, privately owned, would be a portion of
the Lakes Square Mall. Um, we've had interest from both the mall and planning commission to have multiple food trucks at this site. So, we feel that this may be an appropriate uh location to look into uh multiple vendors. Of course, we
would have to work with the property owner, drop some sort of agreement, perhaps a plan development overlay to get that to work. Next slide, please. Site three, we discovered on our ride around mapping
the mobile food vendors around the city. There's a vacant property across from Yellow Jacket Way, which is currently privately owned. It's off of US 27, so it's off a major thoroughfare. Of course, we would have to work with a property owner in this case, but it is a
vacant property that could be developed at this time. And that is all I have for today. I'm available for any questions or clarifications. Thank you, Max Allen. Any questions from Miss Max Allen's or Dan?
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. So, you're saying staff proposed a 200 foot radius? Yes, sir. So that 200 foot from the location of the food court from the location of the food truck to the property line of the property with a restaurant. We are open
to amending that based on commission wishes if you have some thoughts. Okay. So I just want I'm clear. So the location of the food car to the actual brick and mortar building or to the property line that the brick and mortar building sits on? The property line that the brick and mortar sits on. Okay. But
if you just if you pull it off the food cart, how do you know it's going to be parked the same exact same location every day? That is something we could look at versus if it versus 200 ft away from the property line that the cart sitting on to the property line the
brick and mortar buildings on. I mean to me if you do it off the food cart they're mobile so not be parked in exactly the same spot. It may you know I mean we you know if it parked in St. Plaza. I mean, you know, that's 200 f
feet across the parking lot. So, it's Tempon Plaza, but now it's much closer because it's parked, you know, way farther to the north this time than than what was shown yesterday. The park further south. I just I just want to make sure if if we move along with this,
it doesn't become a problem for staff trying to keep track of of where these carts are exactly parked at every day. Absolutely. There are two ways I could see to address this. One would be doing property line to property line. The other is uh adding a site plan as part
of that letter of location compliance where they show us where they're going to be parked and that would be part of their location compliance. We would add it into some of the language saying a site plan would be needed to be compliant. That's something staff could
investigate or we could switch to property line to property line for that measurement. Thank you. In the last meeting, we discussed, you know, we debated, you know, the 100, 200, 500. I think you just alluded to it. U in this example, this guy's out of
business. Well, I guess he can move his truck on the property, but we put we put this guy out of business, period. I My question is at 200, how many what percentage or how many food trucks are we impacting in the city? I'm trying. Sure. Uh I don't I'm not looking for exact number.
I'm just trying to get some kind of idea. Uh I would say based on the mapping I did probably roughly about a half. Yeah, I would agree with that. And how many do we have roughly? I'm not looking for exact numbers. I have no
idea. We probably got close to 20 right now. Okay. I would have guessed 20 30. Okay. Right. There's quite a number. Um the food trucks would if they're within that buffer then they would have to get permission of the property owner saying that they didn't mind they were there
the of the other of the restaurant I should say and may I one question please it's one per property so whatever it's one truck on that property correct and that part that does that rotate if another truck wants to come another month or that's
one forever that is one per property until written uh revocation is um provided saying that this vendor is no longer here. Then the new vendor could apply for that location. But we do need it in writing to say that the and what
would be the time frame then for that? Uh one year. Oh, one year. Or would it be based on the principal business? How long they want them to be there? But what if the vendor decides after two days they weren't successful with revenue and they don't want to be there?
So they have to wait one year before they can go anywhere else. The one year is the uh letter of compliance. So on a permanent basis they reup every year by uh providing coming in for their letter
of location compliance and providing that packet. And then in addition if they wanted to leave and go somewhere else then they would provide that written uh paperwork to us. And so they have an option. They have an option where they could say, "Hey, this site
didn't work for me. I'm going to revoke." Okay. Here, this new site doesn't have anyone there yet. Let's try my fortunes here. Commissioner Barry, I think if they try option two, which is the two days two times a year to test the site to see if it's revenue generating and then they if that is,
they could go back and apply for the letter of compliance which gives them the year long. So, yes, that is correct. Commissioner Bur, did you have something? So, uh, the state of Florida, do they require a 200 foot on these? Do
they require that the food truck has to leave every night? They do not. So, we are we are putting restrictions on folks that are operating businesses and putting half
out of business. it. I would say more than that. Um, and not only So, just be aware of what we're doing. You know, I'm just not I'm not really in favor of this. And Commissioner Bur, not even to mention the out of business, we're also taking residential areas, making parking
lots in the front yards for the food truck to move the next day or whenever they go out. And that's what's happening now. It's not a good look at They they can't do that. Uh, that's what's being done. It's just call enforcement. And then what? Well, I'm just saying, okay, I'm being I was being a little bit
smart about my last uh No, no, but but listen, we we're coming up with a plan, but we don't have a plan. I mean, no offense, I'm saying we need to think this through cuz now you're telling a truck that they can't set sit at the auto station. You got to move your truck. Where are they going? Home. They
live in a residential area where it's not allowed. Where will the truck store stay? So, they go to a storage facility like U-Haul or something like that. That's what I'm trying to say. But who's going to go there every day if they don't know that? We have to give a plan, a time frame. I think to say there's lots of businesses that store their pro
business property at a a storage facility and go there every day to get it and get back go back. And there's also that's my point. I'm trying to figure out what will be our plan for providing a storage area for someone to go to. I know the city's not into the storage business, but
we have to consider this when we say no. We just tried to approve. It got very complicated. Well, it wasn't complicated. He didn't It wasn't clear what was being presented for me. And then as we see, we He didn't have a plan. He's saying, "Oh, where we're Well, we're not going there. Just we're talking about the food trucks. I'm just
trying to be clear. How can we be fair for these people? I mean, people who is this is their income feeding families. Most families are working these food trucks. I can't see us just coming in saying this, this, this. But we don't really you I mean I just I do know that
we don't need the eyes of the food truck sitting right on the streets. We don't need them next in front of restaurants or businesses where we want people to patronize. But just remember some of the five-star restaurants started on a corner in major cities that are now have a restaurant to sit down.
So I just want to be fair, equitable across the board and not just hastily make a decision when we haven't really thought it through. That's all I'm stating. So, I mean I mean I brought it up two weeks ago on the food truck issue because I I want to make sure that these
food trucks are not harming our brick and mortar restaurants and I think it's fair enough the proposal the the 200 foot distance but if the the the the established business if they don't have an issue with it they
can release it and it the 200 feet goes away. I think that's fair to to our business owners that hey, if you don't think it's affecting your business with this food truck sitting right basically practically in your parking lot, then sure, sign the waiver and let them sit there and I'm fine with that. I'm trying
to give our business owners some protection here. I agree. I agree with you. All right. So, are we good with comments and we'll open it to public for right now? I'm fine. All right. Thank you. We'll open public comments. If you have any
comments on this, you have three minutes. State your name and address for the record. Afternoon, evening, I guess. No. Gary Kuster, 89. Pull the mic up just a little bit so we can hear. 8909 East Treasure Island Avenue, Leburg. Um, I'm in the county, so this really doesn't
affect me, but I do have a food truck on my property. I rent spaces to park big trucks. Uh, I rent spaces to park boats and and it's all through the county. But
you are in effect they are businesses, Jay. They're a business too. These people are are providing jobs. Some of them in the case four different people work for them on a food
truck. So they're they're making money for the family to live on. I understand I understand the difference between a food truck and a brick and mortar established restaurant. If a brickandmortar restaurant who has air
conditioned place now's another thing. You've eliminated having tables and chairs at a food truck. That that's in the old ordinance. You took a took a four-page ordinance and made it eight
pages and now they just added some more. But you got a brick-and-mortar restaurant with air conditioning, weight staff, and if if somebody wants to go to a food truck to get food, they're going to go to a food truck because they don't want to go in a
restaurant and sit down. These are the people that mow your grass, the people that paint your house, that put your roof on. They want to eat food quick and easy. We're not eliminating them. You're You just eliminated half of them.
Eliminating the the location. If the restaurant doesn't think it's not if if it's the restaurant doesn't think it it's affecting them, then they can they can sign off. But if a brick and if a brickandmortar restaurant can't compete with a food truck with weight
staff and an air conditioned facility, then they need to step their game up. I I respectfully disagree with you, Gary. Well, I don't I agree with me. I'm sure you do. I just cannot believe that you want to
put these people out of business. Now, I went around and I talked to all of them. That's what you ought to do. Most of them are minorities that are running these places. So, if you put them out of business, what are they going to do?
They got to go somewhere and you just don't have a place for them to go. You want to put them on an alley, a food food alley or in the mall. Not everybody has access to the mall. You know, it's it's close to me where I
live, but it's not close to everybody. You know, that's why they're spread out because people work in different locations. Thank you, sir. Yes sir. Uh good evening. My name is Colon Roles.
I'm the owner of Super Tagos truck in 441. Uh first of all, they have to be some special provisions. I'm the owner of the plaza where my food truck is located at so I'm not renting a space or something. My parking lot is where is it registered
to through the same corporation. So if I have to move it where I'm going to move it from this parking lot to the next one to start. I got five families that are supported by this food truck. I don't believe is any business any restaurants
is going to allow going to give me a letter saying h it's okay do it. That's just how I think ridiculous. I mean if you put that clause nobody's going to accept that. So so you own your property and and this ordinance will put you out of business. The 200 foot rule will put
you out of business. Okay. No, I'm sympathetic to that. Okay. No, thank you. I didn't mean to interrupt you. I was just seeking clarification. Thank you. I know where your business is. Which restaurant does it conflict with? You got uh Ranchito, you got now a new breakfast place. And I heard some
complaints about us because we are Yeah, I know where it's happen. Yes. Uh yeah, I mean they're China one, but they they okay, but I mean nobody is going to say yes, here's a letter. If you're the property owner though, you can get a you're authorized to put it on your property though, right? That's what I
say. I mean, if I have it in my property, got to move it says though too every night. It's your property. I agree. But he also I'm not picking on you, but you're also storing two food trucks there, an RV and a boat. That That's correct. But they are I'm I'm constructing right now and I understand
that it's been that way for a couple years. Those are going to be gone. They're not going to be there. And when I talked to you months ago about this, I brought that to your attention. Yes. Correct. And I've been working in the roof. Put a new roof in the building. It's a I respect it. I'm doing Yes. Just
a bad idea. I just Is the buffer what's catching everybody or I mean, I chimed in when Jay brought it up. I I think the intent is good and I fully understand the intent, but when you get into the the weeds here, I I just don't like the we're putting people
out of business. I'm troubled by that. I'd like to slow this down and maybe let staff work on a little bit more. I don't have the answers tonight. It's a tough one, but I can't I I can't support a mo a uh a resolution that puts 10 out of 20 food vendors out of business tonight. I mean, granted, they could move and this and that, but it just troubles me a
little bit. And and Jimmy brought up a good point. I mean, it the state has regulations on this. Um it's a complicated issue. Well, it is and isn't. Um I'd like to slow it down just a little bit. I mean, but I don't I don't know if we're going to accomplish anything. Is there a way for staff to tell us how many of these food trucks
are on uh code violation facilities? Now, that's a whole different issue there that um we can we can do some research on that. It may be a good idea. A lot of them are at like slow it down because there is some there I'm sure there's plenty out there that are not permitted.
Yeah. Um we should start with I mean I should say letterance. I mean uh yeah, the ones that aren't properly licensed. um the ones that have code viol you know code enforcement issues I think we I think we need to toughen up on them but the
hardworking gentlemen like this I I don't feel good this guy owns his own property that makes that even compounds it I'm not being sarcastic I'm just saying it's a tough issue if we go with the recommendation of putting areas that was suggested for the trucks to sit and
let that be a known area that um vendors can experience to see if it's financially feasible. If we have an area that we know that it's nowhere near brick and mortar and that we could address um workers that
need to eat quickly, get there quickly and provide several spots like what was recommended and then see how that goes to see. And we'll have to approve a zoning overlay to allow this on any property by the way. I mean, so this whole thing just can Yeah, it it does
kind of um scroll down. Um, I do like the idea of slowing it down and give us some time to come back and do additional research. I know that in our ride around we talked about some different locations that could potentially be food truck
areas. Um, but staff would appreciate a little additional time on it to um, if it's possible to continue to do some re research, get some individual feedback. Yeah. And I think we can come up with some clarifications. And I think staff did a great job on it. I mean, it it's a
tough assignment. This is a tough This is a great presentation, but uh it's a tough ordinance. Putting people out of business bothers me. I think we can satisfy everyone's concerns. It gives a little extra time. We can put in a buffer uh which is what Mr. Connell wants. We can look for some different places which I think really becomes a
separate issue than just this ordinance and figure out about not taking them out overnight perhaps. I'm not sure. you know, we but we need some feedback if we could and um we can we can do some um changes and make it make it better.
There were some good things in here. Personally, the the moving every day that bothered me. That's that's very that's very burdensome. Um you would be okay with long-term if they have the year compliance then they can stay permanent based on what I've heard here. Um I guess we're not letting them put up
table chairs. I mean, it's it's I mean, I haven't seen one that really bothered me too much. Um I I understand how this started competing with restaurants. Um I think I'm openminded. I some of them were putting like tents and drilling into the ground and things like that and dumping oil on the ground and things
like not saying these guys are, but that's where a lot of Well, I think that's Yeah, I think we need to be tougher on those type issues. Um so earlier I said um you know, let's let's focus on the ones who are not licensed, the ones with code enforcement issues. let's focus on them in the short term
while we sort this out. But if you could give us 30, 45 days, something like that, that'll be a big help. And we can come back with some revisions and if we get some additional feedback from the individual commissioners on what you like and what you don't like. I do believe we can make something work. May
I ask for private property? Is there did we say no private property or we can can private property host an area to have private property can? Absolutely you could. No, I mean not at a storefront. I'm talking about private property of a area, but I think it requires a zoning
overlay if it would it would potentially require a zoning overlay potentially. But if it's a C3, if there's good access, if there's parking and so forth, um we we could make that work on a private property situation. The owner is
going to want to charge each truck and that's that's contractual private sector. We don't have to worry about that. But we do need to worry about access and enough parking and those kind of things. If the city owns the property and doesn't have a plan for it, then we need to get with the city manager and
and this city commission and see if that's something that would work because there are food deserts um out there even in Leburg where it's difficult if you if you don't have a car access to transportation. um you know there's there's things that we need to pay
attention to in that and uh and the idea of the one over there by the resource center staff really like that one um to be honest because that is a a food desert area and so I think there are some things that we could add and make
some revisions. I think Max has done a great job with making changes. So um I think if you give us the opportunity we'll make it happen. I'd like to make a motion to table this item to date certain second meeting in August
August 25th. Second and uh in that meantime maybe speak with individual you know we got a lot of different ideas and I think we need to thank you I appreciate that and look at it and let's announce that he is planning and zoning so for people like you and other food truck people they can maybe contact
planning and zoning because we want their input too. If you could stay after I want I want to ask you a few questions. Need a second. We have a motion and we did get a second from Commissioner Barry. All right. So we have a motion and a second to table till date certain of August 25th.
Any We will not be here that meeting. Will you be here the 11th? You want to change? I'll change that to 11th. August 11th. I won't be here. No, I'm just You won't be here. No, I'm just Okay. So, we have a I could say something so smart right
now. All right. So we have August 11th. Got your comeback as well. Make it August 11th. All right. And we from Commissioner Bur. Do we have a second on that? Allison seconded it. Oh, I second. Okay. I second the August 11th date now. All right. Any further discussion?
Commissioner Peterson. Uh, roll call. Commissioner Bur? Yes. Commissioner Peterson? Yes. Commissioner Barry? Yes. Commissioner Connell? Yes. Mayor Reeseman? Yes. Thank you staff for your presentation and I apologize. I cut I I I didn't let you speak. I didn't see you. So, if you want
to give your three minutes. Yes, sir. Good. Yes, sir. Uh me and my wife, we have a food truck. We started hard. We started from the flea market. We just have a grill. We have all dream to do it. Um
we have a rain days, cold days, hot days. Okay. We go to the next step. We go vacation. When we go on the vacation, they call us and say we cannot do any more sell in the flea market. So we decided to buy a new food truck for $45,000.
We started dreaming Lisbour again. We lost all the customer because it was on Mar County. So we moved to Lisbour. We start over. Zero client, zero money for couple of weeks. We put all tables, we put all tents, we make it back. And then
we have a s news. We had to remove the tables and the tents. So you cut the hands off for us. We almost one step for open a business with the food truck and a builder. I think I took with you couple of month with Mr. Tony and
Tony and Mr. Hu. Right. Soon you take the tables out at the tent. We lost a lot of clients. So you tie the hands to us. Okay. We have all the permit. We have all legally with us. We have it everything we needed to sell on the street and now they send us a
letter say we had to move the trucks every single day or every single night. That's going to be hard because she work in the cool trucks. I work in lawn care. So the only person can driving heavy trucks is me. So it's going to be difficult to us to start over with new
trouble like that. So we coming here together we hear the meeting. So we want to poor little bit comments about it. We cannot competition with a restaurant. Reference was a restaurant but they cannot competition with food trucks.
We feed the workers on the street. We feed the labors on the street. They not want to go inside the restaurant and pay $65 in 30 minutes. Compared to food, they pay 15, 12, 10.
And we even support the people work for the city here for the lake. When they come into we say a free drink for you because you working for the lake for the city. We want to help you pass you know but we needed your help guys to
can help more little bit to the food trucks. We starting there tomorrow can be we have a restaurant but that's all dream. Please thinking about it in those. Thank you. May I ask where your food truck is sir? What was your name? What was your name? Oh,
Jesus. Jesus. My food is on the plaza across the street for rural king. We saw chicken on the grill and ribs on the grill. Okay. So, where the trash? No. No. He's at we're like one mile from him next to the Palmer restaurant.
You're next to La Palama. Yes, sir. Supply. He's He's a trash supper. Yeah. All right. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Moving along to 6B. First readings. Would someone please introduce 6B 1, 2, and three to be read by title only? I'll
introduce to be read by title only, please. 6B1, an ordinance of the city of Leburg, Florida, annexing certain real property consisting of approximately 91.07 07 plus minus acres being generally located
south of County Road 48 and east of number two road lying in sections 17 and 20 township 20 south range 25 east Lake County, Florida. Provided that said property so annex shall be liable for its proportionate share of the existing

County, Florida and providing an effective date 6B3 an ordinance of the city of Leburg, Florida changing the zoning on approximately 196.07 07 plus minus acres from Lake
County A agriculture, city RE1 estate density residential and city A agricultural to city of Leburg PUD planned unit development to allow for 586 detached single family residences for property during located south of
County Road 48 and east of number two road lying in section 17 and 20, Township 20 South, range 25 east, Lake County, Florida and providing an effective date. This is a first reading and Mr. Miller. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. This is the Lake
Margareta Escapes project, 196 acres located south of County Road 48 and east of number two road. Um there is a annexation large scale comp plan and reszoning. Approximately 103 of this 196 acres are already in the city limits. So
a part is being annexed and then the entire property 196 acres is being reszoned in comp plan city the currently has city zoning districts of agricultural and estate density residential and future land use of estate that agg that's the property that
is in the city and the comp plan for this property is for the remaining 90 acres and zoning is for the entire 196 acres the comp plan is requesting a change from lake county future land use of rural transition and rural to city of Leburg estate. The zoning would then go
from Lake County agriculture city RE1 and and the one of the last few remaining areas of city agriculture to city of Leburg PUD. Um the request is for the development of 586
attached and detached single family units as seen in the conceptual plan. Uh, no substantiative comments came from the city that's outside the Leburg U electric area. Project is subject to school concurrency. Lake County Public
Works had a number of comments including sidewalks, um, potential traffic signal at County Road number county road 48 and number two road. Um, additional right ofway, left and right turn lanes, and
um, a number of other requirements. In addition, they also had comments on number two road. So, the county is fully involved in uh the expansion of the roadways should this project be approved. Um, we did not receive any specific public comments. We did request
that there would be a neighborhood meeting to discuss the project and we'd like to thank the neighbors and the applicants who attended and provided input. I believe some neighbors are here tonight. Under the PUB requirements, 586 single family homes, two floor
maximum height. It is a platted subdivision, so the lots would be individually sold. No other uses. There will be three sizes of lots, 50, 60, and 70 feet. Two parking spaces for each unit. Under design and architectural standards, you have the standard
architectural requirements with a list five um five different um items coming from the list of about 20 that they must apply to each home. 35% open space which is exceeded in their in their plan. Dark
sky lighting is required. Significant buffering to adjacent properties is provided in the PUB including a 25- ft buffer tract around the entire property. Um the landscape buffers are not part of the lots again as is standard. Um
signage will consist of decorative entryway features. Bermuda and bea grass are permitted. Excuse me. A minimum of 2.7 acres is devoted to recreational uses including a swimming pool and cabana with on-site parking, children's playground, and
gazeos. In addition, there's requirement dog for dog parks, trails around the retention areas. And if a retention area is dry, it can be used for a field as a play area if it's dry most of the year, which we've done in quite a few of the PUDs.
The recreation areas have to be constructed by the time 50% of the residential units are complete. All the development has to be on city water and wastewater and there is our standard phasing or expiration clause which you're all familiar with. Um believe Mr. Mike Rankin of land planning
group is here to represent the case and several other uh members of their proposal team are here as well if you have any questions. Thank you Mr. Mayor. Any questions for Dan? No. Would you guys like to see the presentation from the developer?
I I do have one qu one concern I had that uh so uh in the middle the stuff that's staying in the county where residents live those folks two of the two of the homes have access to number
two road currently right yes so that's my understanding so how that is preserved for them through this okay so how are you going to keep the new folks
off of Dewey number two road. A um I know that they've been talking about this. The last I talked about it was a gate with a some type of keying mechanism and we're confident that that is going to keep that's going to I guess if you can't get through the gate
because you don't have a key that's but I can't guarantee it. That's my only concern because what, you know, the idea is to keep the traffic off of number two exiting on to 48 and
but you do have a couple folks. Yes, sir. And and that's part of the PUB is to preserve their if those folks are are confident with what you know what has I have not talked to them. I believe these the applicants have no if so that's my only Okay.
Would you guys like to see the presentation? I don't need to see until second read. Okay. Any questions for the developer? That that was my only only thing I wanted to make sure everybody's happy with that. Thank you, Commissioner. Any
public comments? Yes, ma'am. Anybody else? No. That would be because when we had our meeting with the developers, if you would state your name and address for the record, ma'am. My name is Sandy Russ. I live at 6813 Lake View Drive in
Yalaha, right down the street. So, the reason there's not more people here is because when we met with the developers representatives, they told everybody at the meeting that we wouldn't be able to speak at this meeting. So, that's why nobody's here because
when I called this morning and spoke to Andy, I put it out on social media, please come to this meeting so we can get some input. But you can see I'm the only one here with my neighbor. And it was also printed on the table for us to take as we sign.
It was printed on there. Okay. So we we spoke with the developers representative about a lot of different topics. when he presented to the planning board meeting, he said it was mainly traffic and people passing, you know, illegally on County Road 48, we
talked about density levels. We talked about the fact that there's no wildlife corridors provided here. We talked about traffic. We talked about the access points number two road. We talked about the quality of life for the current residents who are encompassed in that and the ones in Trippy Triumpy Place.
And we also talked about the need for this amount of homes. I am not against growth. I know you have to have it for to sustain the city. I know it's it's necessary. I'm only lived here for five years. I'm so happy that there was a lot
that I could buy and build my own house so I wouldn't end up in one of these developments where you're on a 50-foot lot and you can reach out and touch your neighbor. I like rural. I came from South Dade County. Grew up in a rural area. Watch it be destroyed by this. why
I moved here. You take a 50 by 120 lot, that's 6,000 square feet. An acre is 43,560 square feet. That's 14% of an acre what the majority of these lots will be.
Those four and five acre lots there, that's 2.75% of that. So that to me is not compatible. In the Lake C, the Leburg comprehensive plan, it talks about compatible densities. I know you all know what it means to us that is not
compatible. We talked about the housing needs. Oh, before I forget, I watched the planning meeting. I was really surprised that two of the board members said they didn't they didn't understand rural and rural transition densities, which is what this area is in Lake
County. Thank God they came out and looked themselves at what this area looks like. I looked at the Leburg comp plan to see why would they not understand that it's not in there. It's not defined. Why is that? Is there no rural land in Lake County or Leburg?
This is a rural area here. You've annexed all this land and there's hardly anything to show for it except a lot of rooftops and traffic. We talked about housing needs. I will say this, your development map is stupendous. I think every city and county should have one
because it shows the residents exactly what's being approved, where it is, how much, what year. So, what I found 2020 when I moved here, let's see, you approved 6,500 houses from 2020 to 2025. 6,500
houses from US27 east south of County Road 48. About seven developments. Do we really need that many houses here? So I looked at the comp plan. So it says that the Leburg midlevel
average estimated demand is for approximately 7,374 new housing units through 2045. So the area that I'm talking about here, east of 27, south of 48, that's going to supply almost 90% of your needs through
2025. So, what's going to happen to those other 20,000 or so houses that are approved that are on the development map? So, you can see our frustration. Thank you, ma'am. I have I have a lot more, but I'll just ask you just say no.
Think about it. Just say no to this. Thank you. Just for the record, you will be permitted to speak at this at the public hearing. That's an advertised public hearing. That's the second reading. So, let your neighbors know. I'll be back. I'll finish today
and our neighbors will be back. Mr. Mayor, my name is Tom Daly. I'm I'm the applicant or representing the applicant and I just wanted to respond to this lady. We we had a community meeting and it was a couple months ago and what we
told them at the community meeting was that we told them there'd be a first reading and a second reading. We gave them the dates of what we anticipated that to be. We told them we weren't sure if the first reading was going to be open to public, you know, open to
discussion or whether that was the second reading. We asked them to reach out to your staff to determine which hearing was the the one that you would be opening up. So, there's no smoking mirrors here. We didn't try to deceive them or try to tell them anything. In
fact, we tried to be overtly open of telling them what the dates were, relaying to them what, you know, obviously what we're doing. But I don't want you to come away thinking that we tried to trick them into something that they weren't supposed to be here or not. We gave them the dates of the meetings.
We asked them to reach out to Dan and and Candy and your staff to determine whether they would be coming and and you know, presenting or whether they would do on the first reading or the second reading. And that's that's it. Thank you. Can I say something? I took a note.
