>> Uh Greg Thomas, uh 6509 Oakshore Drive. Uh we've got a real problem with speeding down Oakshore Drive. Uh we got people doing 50 60 mph. Uh we've seen an increased police presence. We appreciate that. Uh every time they're out there,
they get a handful of people. it just as fast as they can park. They're getting somebody pulled over. We need speed bumps. That's a park. It's a dead end road. There's no reason not to have speed bumps out there. Or at the very least, maybe the little camera that
flashes the speed used to be down here. >> I think we dropped the speed limit to 15, didn't we, the last time you came, and that hasn't helped. >> Yeah. I mean, it helps when when the officers are there, but they're just they can't be there all the time. >> No, we don't have enough citations. I
think they write up all the tickets they got. >> So, um, you think the speed bumps would make a difference? >> I think it would make a huge difference. Uh because there's one, we can't, as it is, we can't walk down our road. The people are coming through there 40, 50,
60 miles an hour. Okay. >> I've got a four-year-old >> trying to ride a bike. >> I will take care of this first thing Thursday. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Not the little white dot speed. Little white ones. >> Oh yeah, >> we need to specify
>> those only work on bicycles. >> Not the little dot ones, actual real speed breaker. >> It doesn't slow anybody down and just wakes the neighbors up hearing them go. >> They just put them all over there.
>> We're good. All right. Um, approval of the minutes will be item one. You should have them in your package in front of you. This will be for um October the 7th. >> I make a motion to approve. >> Got a motion. Do we have a second? >> Second it.
>> Got a second. Call a roll, please. Ma'am, >> Miss Barrow. >> Yes. >> Miss Bford. >> Yes. >> Mr. Chapel. >> Yes. >> Mr. Haney. >> Yes. >> Mayor Kelly. >> Yes. Thank you. Item two is the um uh consolidation of the two lots at the fire department. Chief, would you come
to the podium, please? Everything's in your package. If you have any questions for the chief, he's here to answer those right now. And if he doesn't have the answer, I think I probably know it. So, um essentially what's happening is the fire department, the volunteer fire
department is building an extension on the building for uh dormitories. uh hurricane rated dormitories and a downstairs office as a two-story extension. Um we were hoping to use the uh money from
uh FDM and FEMA, but that grant is going to close out before we're able to get this finished. Um the shell of the building was 85,000, probably another 200,000 to finish. It won't cost taxpayers, nothing. It's all
paid for by the volunteer savings. So, um, he's here tonight to ask you or you can ask him any questions that you may have. It's all in those photographs in front of you. So, >> I have no questions. I'll make a motion
to approve this combination. >> Okay. As a member of the fire department, I don't know after taking this seventh ethics class if I'm allowed to abstain. I don't think I am. I have to vote, don't I? You don't have >> You're not getting any personal gain out of >> No. No. Not unless I get to sleep there in a hurricane.
>> Um, so we have a motion. Do we have a second? >> We have a second. You call a roll, please. >> Miss Barrow? >> Yes. >> Miss Bifford? >> Yes. >> Mr. Chapel? >> Yes. >> Mr. Haney? >> Yes. >> Mayor Kelly? >> Yes. Thank you. Chief, >> thanks. >> Okay. Next item.
is the uh planning commission recommendation is for an approval of an application for parcel package uh for South Louisiana Marine Construction and this gentleman is trying to build a office. to come to
the podium please sir um on this land at the corner of 98 business and Ivy Road and he in I normally I wouldn't have been at the planning commission but I was at this one and uh I noticed that he
had um was made aware by uh chairman Reagan that um because of the lot one's on the street and one's on 98 there are some restrictions on construction but by consolidating this he'll be able to have like runoff from his office and
everything that he wants. Um, and Mr. Reger's team verified that uh everything was uh to code and he's asking for the consolidation of those two lots. We have to have a first and a second. >> I make a motion.
>> We have a first. >> Second. >> We have a second. Would you call the role, please, madam clerk? >> Miss Barrow? >> Yes. >> Miss Bford? >> Yes. >> Mr. Chapel? >> Yes. >> Mr. Haney? >> Yes. >> Mayor Kelly? >> Yes. Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Build a pretty building. >> This is item four is the planning
commission recommendation to approve a combination of applications for a lot split. Uh the company's name is Dan Holmes LLC. Are they here? >> Would you come to the podium, please, ma'am? >> Good evening. >> Uh essentially what they're going to do,
if my my understanding is correct, you're going to split that lot, build two houses. Yeah. >> Okay. Everything should be in your package. Council >> motion. >> We have a motion. Do we have a second? >> Second. >> We have a second. Do we would you call the role, please?
>> Miss Farah? >> Yes. >> Miss Bifford? >> Yes. >> Mr. Chapel? >> Yes. >> Mr. Haney? >> Yes. >> And Mayor Kelly? >> Yes. Thank you, ma'am. Um, >> Mr. Sloan, you're up. This is the introduction of first reading. The uh council had instructed me following some
discussion in prior meetings to come up with a draft of an ordinance that would amend the land development regulations relating to uh what's commonly called grandfathering. But in this case, it it would be a very limited situation where
the ownership would would have remained constant from uh on or prior to November 20, 1990 through the date of potential enactment of the ordinance. And um if
that were the case, if the same uh owner uh owned the property and they did nothing other than want to sell the property, uh then they would be allowed to do that without cutting off the grandfathering.
The limitations would be one if uh the owner had eliminated the non-conforming use prior to uh November 4, which is the anticipated date, then that would be one of the uh reasons to that that that
grandfathering uh exemption would not apply. The second uh would be if uh the purchaser modified or altered or deleted uh from what's constructed on the property more than 1% of the square footage that existed on
November 4th or C uh the purchaser modified, altered, added or deleted uh uh to the property in such a way that it affected the value uh by more than 1%.
So those were the the three basic u ideas that were contained. I did uh update the language a little bit since the planning commission to just separate them out into AB and C. There is a u an
example that I included in there about that if somebody had a a duplex on November 20, 1990 and converted into single family before November 4, 2025 in a low density residential, they couldn't go back. So that's just an example of
that uh paragraph A. So, um that's the language proposed for you all to consider uh in the 6-3.1 of the land development regulations. >> This would be a first reading, right? >> It would be a first reading.
>> So, we need a first and second read. >> We have a motion to read. Do we have a second? I have a second. You call a roll. >> Miss Barrow? >> Yes. >> Miss Bifford? >> Yes. >> Mr. Chapel? >> Yes. >> Mr. Haney? >> Yes. >> Mayor Kelly? >> Yes. Ordinance number 2025-429, an ordinance of the city of Parker, Florida, amending the land development
regulations. Ordinance number 2022-49 as amended to amend certain provisions relating to existing non-conforming development in the city, providing for severability, providing a mechanism for the correction of scrier's errors, providing for the liberal construction
of this ordinance, providing for a repealer clause, and providing for an effective date. Are we going to get in 14 days >> at the next meeting? >> Yep. Okay, sounds good. Thank you, Mr. Sloan. Mr. Chapel, do you have anything?
>> Uh, nothing other than the pavilion out there still for anybody wants to use it. We had a baby shower out there the other day and we had a birthday party out there the other day and then uh we had our flea market or
yard sale second Saturday but uh like to see it getting be more used. >> Do you think there's any possibility of a farmers market in the future that we talked about in the past? Uh, I had an interview with Channel 7
yesterday and we talked about that and uh, he was going to get a number for me and give it to me so I can farmer market. >> Okay. I understand that they charge uh
quite a bit for people to do farmer market and I indicated to him uh at the present time everything's going to be free unless it gets uh messed up and stuff like that but uh we don't charge
right now is uh to use it but uh and the people have been keeping it clean I I look at it just about every day and uh as long say, you know, as long as we don't have to have people go out there and clean it.
>> Yeah. >> Stuff like that, I don't see no reason for charging. >> Okay. >> But, uh, if it gets where we have to have people go out there and clean it and stuff like that, then we're going to have to put a charge on it. >> Okay. Sounds good. Mr. Haney, nothing.
Sir, Mr. Bear, Miss Bford, >> Mr. Sloan. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for participating. This was quick tonight.
