if you would uh I was going to ask that that very thing. Uh do you have anything you would like to discuss with the commissioners? Uh that's outside of the one agenda item we have today. If not, no pressure. That's fine.
No pressure. She's giving it seriously. Watching a little Mexico beach and a little Panama City and a little haven. Very good. They had
Okay. Well, now that we're live, uh before Mr. Pageant gets here, we can discuss uh this meeting. Uh so let's go ahead and discuss the one agenda item that we have. Uh we have a request to combine partials 26187-01500 and 26187-016-0000
uh otherwise known as 308 and 310 Blackshere Drive. When Mr. pageant gets here. Uh my question uh is um when we go on to when we're looking at this this survey, um it appears as though parcel
one and parcel two have already been combined. Okay. Is that right, uh Kevin? I believe so. Okay. Uh that's at least what the Bay County Assessor's Office looks like. So if you look at those parcels of land, then you would have a
100 ft by 70 foot parcel of land. If you just simply do the math, you've got 7,000 square feet. Uh that one part and the parcel three. Uh here we go, Mr. Pageant. How are you, sir? Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. We heard about the
automobile accident. Yeah. And I didn't realize it had already gotten B5. I had to wait for the police and all. Everything's good. They just rear ended my gutter trailer. It's a nice big enclosed trailer. Oh, Jesus. I'm sorry, but sir, if you don't mind coming coming to the uh the the podium here, and I'm
sorry. I know it sometimes it rattles you when you get uh but uh we have reviewed these uh the questions I've got are it looks like when we go to the Bay County Tax Assessor's Office that parcel one and parcel two on your survey have already been combined. Is that correct?
No, I'm here for the combination. Uh because what I'm looking at is parcel one and parcel two and then parcel three. So you're simply wanting to combine parcel one to parallel two. Yes, sir. Okay. They're they both fall
under the new CRA regulations. And uh according to the Bay County Property Appraiser website, I've got 100 foot across there, but according to the survey, I only got 75. So I couldn't have split it and did anything with it if I wanted to. It have been too narrow
at the front. Oh. So, um, okay. So, so is parcel one and parcel two would that be.16 acres or 7,000 square ft? No, sir. It's like 33.3. Okay. Why don't we if if you'll take a look at this for me. Come on up
here if you sir, if you don't mind. So, um, so are you talking about So, right, this is what we received. So, this is what we're going on. So, as we see parcel one and we see parcel two. Now, when I go in the when I go in the Bay County Properties Appraisers Office, this looks like it's this is one parcel
that has been combined then. Okay. So, it is combined. So, what you're wanting to do is you're wanting to combine this parcel to this parcel. Yes, sir. Okay, that's good. And I'm glad that that because that's an easy one for us. And let me tell you why. Um because each of those two parcels individually
uh would be too small because they don't meet either the density rule or they don't meet the minimum lot size rule. CRA. Yes. Or 7500. If those would have both, they would have been 7,000 if I'd had actually had a 100 foot of footage, but I only got 75. So, it's a little bit
that, but they but yeah, they're too small. But, but you but so on on what looks here, parcel two and parcel three, you're going to have 32 acres, which is plenty because all you need is uh is really about 8,700 square feet. You
you've heard the but but you have a density rule that you have to abide by in here as well. And what the density rule is related to is five residences per this is single family uh I'm sorry yeah low density residential area. So
you can put five residences there. If you're just building on a piece of property you need 8,700 square feet 8715 and that will that'll give you plenty. What I feared you were going to try and do is put a home here and a home here and we were going to have to disappoint
you. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. We're Yeah. I'm just trying to com Like I said, I honestly missed that when I looked at the survey, but this is already combined and I'm just looking Yes, sir. to combine all and for the and for the other commissioners, the property uh Bay County Property Appraisers Office does
confirm with M what Mr. Pageant just said. So, does anybody have any questions for him? Okay. So, uh, what Mr. Pageant wants to do is he wants to combine, uh, those two properties. Like I say, the parcel two
on your survey to partial three. Parcel two and three are now exactly the same size. 75 uh, 100 rather by 70 ft and 100 by 70 ft. It'll give them uh each of them will be 0.16 acres combined.32 acres clearly
meeting both the density as well as the as the minimum lot size ruling. Uh and he's wanting to build one home with those combined properties. And I actually have a copy of the plans if y'all would like to see the home. Uh you know what? Uh that's going to be a different time. The only thing that our
clerk has put on the menu for these group these people right now and that they've studied is the lot combination. Yes. Um, and because it is a single family home, she has full authority to approve it on her own. She doesn't have to go before anybody else. Okay. The
only thing that has to happen is the council members next week or the week after. Um, so the next meeting that you would be attending is going to be June 3rd and that one is at 5:30. Here, sir, if you want to borrow this pen. I'm gonna write it down. There you go. I had I owe the board an apology from last
week because I was here and I was supposed to be here. Hey, listen. That's if that's the worst that happens, we're all doing good. Jamie. Yes, sir. And that that's going to be at 5:30. Thank you. You're welcome, sir. So, what I'll look for is any questions? A quick question? Yes, sir. I'm just curious,
Mr. Padant, which parcel is uh 308 and which one's 310? I think 308 was the lot on the road and 310 was the rear lot, but honestly, I don't I don't know if that's 100% correct, but I do believe 308 was the outside lot. What are you going to call the combined lot? Now,
that's something This is all new to me. So, I didn't know if that got handled at Bay County when I turned it in and they give me one. I just assume keep it 308 and be good with it. That's what it's going to be. That's That's where it is on on Black Shear Drive. Okay. That was more for my education. Thank you. I
appreciate that. Very good. So, uh I'll ask for then any any remaining questions, John. Any questions from you? No, sir. All right. Very good. So, what I'll ask for then is a motion to uh approve or recommend to the council members an approval uh for these
combined lots two uh two and three. I'll make a motion that we recommend an approval to combine the two lots. Very good. Can I get a second, please? Second. Very good. I have a second for Mr. Hall. Can I get a vote, Madame Clerk? Absolutely. Mr. Hall? Yes. Mr. Merrick? Yes. Miss Powering? Yes. Mr.
Striker? Yes. And Chairman Re? Yes. And I'm very sorry, Mr. pageant for your automobile accident for the confusion we had. We we were blessed. No one was hurt. Little rear end. Like I said, he hit my closed trailer. So Oh, I'm sorry.
Well, just uh just show up uh at the um at the council meeting at 5 that one starts at 5:30. Um, and uh, just I think if I were you, if I could just offer a little bit of coaching, just inform them because I was a little confused when I saw it that it's actually parcel 2
that's going to be combined to parcel three. You're going to end up with 32 acres that meets all of the minimum and the density lot sizes. Yes, sir. All right, that'll just clarify it for him. All right, sir. Thank you. Appreciate y'all. Thank you very much for waiting on me. We appreciate you, sir. Thank
you. All right. Um, just a couple of other house cleaning items, guys. Um, okay. In Ingred sent us the financial disclosure docs. Uh, I believe we have to fill out form one by July 1st. Is that correct? Is that form one?
Okay. Now, if you hadn't filled out these before, uh, form one is pretty simple. There is no requirement to put any dollar amounts on there. You just have to identify, for example, if you own securities or Vanguard or Meil Lynch, just that you have those
securities and what they are. No, no dollar amounts because it's, you know, being sent into a a public environment there. Um, and um, so just that information, I don't think that there's any requirement for dollar amounts. That's on form six that they have that
added level of of requirement. Okay. Um, and I think it has to be done electronically now. I think it has to be done via their email and that should have come across a day or two ago from Ingred. Okay. So, have any questions on that? Uh, okay. Very good.
All right. And then, um, Terry, I'm going to be gone next month. Uh, so if you would be so kind to, uh, play the role of chairman, uh, next month, that would be much appreciated. Also be gone. Oh. Oh. Oh. Okay. Very good. Very good.
So, uh, but, uh, you two fellas will be your second. Okay. You'll have a quorum. Okay. So, uh, that'll be that'll be okay. And I don't have I don't have any idea what the agenda is. Just, uh, remember if there's anything that you feel uncomfortable with, feel free to
push it off to the following meeting or or handle it yourself. Whatever whatever your preference. Are you going to leave those huge shoes? Yeah, that's very kind. But I I know for sure you have a lot more knowledge about this stuff. All right. Very good. And
then the only other thing to mention is that uh uh I'll make this statement and then I'll and then I'll tell you what what I'm thinking. So um in July uh we have to vote on the chair for the next year. The role of the chair plays that role for one year and um I'm happy to do
it for another year if you if I have your full support. However, I think everybody in here is capable of filling this role as well. So, if you would like uh to uh be considered for that, please let us know. Uh and in July, we will
vote on the chair for another year. Okay. Can we just go ahead and make an early motion? Well, I I rather you sit on it. We don't It's just here in May and at the end of the day, uh think about it. I mean, any one of you guys could could could take and I I wouldn't
leave. I would be a commissioner. Uh but uh it would just mean that somebody give somebody else an opportunity to be the chair. Mark, you missed the point. Some of us are we're not dumb enough to ask for that. Um it it is the uh the council asks that
we vote every every July. And um so uh when I when I'm back in July, uh we'll we'll take a vote and see if we still have everybody's uh blessing and or or if you've got some additional thoughts. Okay. And we can install an extension
next to me. Yes. Uh Terry, anything that you'd like to discuss with the group? I was just thinking, you remember talked to you about the SEM MI apostrophe? Yes s is still there. Yes. Yes.
Got it. That's the teacher. Commissioner an any any uh any thoughts? Anything you'd like to share with the group? I'm grateful for the uh learning throughout the process. So, it's been interesting. Oh, you've been a
terrific addition. I'm really glad you're here. Very analytical. And you know, I'm sitting here thinking we have some very, very credentialed individuals here. I mean, my god, this fell here is like an electronic genius and he does all kinds of other things. Banking
presidents, PhD, top brass in in the in military. uh person who's had, you know, clerking uh skills in the past and has rolled into this job like it was her like she'd been here 10 years the day she walked in the front door. So, I think we're very very fortunate to have
this team and I I appreciate each and everybody. Uh and uh of course, John, I I'm very happy to see uh your knowledge of real estate and how that's helped us remarkably. And of course, I know sometimes you have to explain to Mr.
slow on some of our cockami decisions. So, he didn't and I' and I've met with him afterwards and quite frankly, he didn't seem, you know, like he was getting ready to explode. So, thanks for, you know, covering us and doing those things. So, I've enjoyed my time here. Do you have anything that you'd
like to share with uh No, sir. All right. Very good. Kyle, anything movie night uh you want to tell the rest of the group about that? That might be kind of neat. Yeah, we're planning it for next month. Inkrid is gonna headed up. Um, we've done movie nights a couple
times. I think most of y'all have been out at some of it and so maybe planning one for October to go along with it. Maybe just but just something we'll work with Ingred to to make it happen. Um, one thing I do want to talk about with in relationship to something
that you had recommended to the mayor some months ago, Kyle had come up with a really remarkably great idea. If you go to certain communities, partic particularly artistic communities, you will see sometimes like large buildings that are just kind of a bland uh you
know, white or or beige or something like that color. And every once in a while, you'll pass one. It'll have something like a uh who was the prolific artist who puts like sea scenes like whales and you know, beluga whales and
dolphin and stuff. Was it while uh while you know what I'm talking about? You see him? No. You know what I'm talking about? Um I think he started in Hawaii and then it migrated to the United States. Well, Kyle had come up with an idea. He said, "You know what?" He said, "We have all this fence line. We've got
these big, you know, bare buildings out here. What about if we invite like amateur artists to uh come to the city of Parker to kind of beautify certain areas?" And I know he ran it past the mayor and the mayor really liked it. I guess I'm wondering if do we have any
traction? I'll do it. Yeah, I'll I'll get on the schedule for a for a meeting. I just been a little bit busy before that. But I was also thinking in upkeep, you know, because upkeep is we don't want them to put up there then a year later they look ugly and it actually
make it look worse. So upkeepw wise um leasing the space for free to organizations like maybe Tindle Bank or a school um also as well as some community artists and and they have to manage the upkeep of it by replacing it yearly or you know re having it
repainted but we we give them the the opportunity to do it for free and then we do unveilings when there's new ones and and make it you know like a thing with the news um where they can come out and maybe even have um an area like in in one of our parks where it becomes a focal point um where people want to come
just to see it and take pictures and things like that. Maybe a joint venture with the um Bay County Art Center. Oh, nice. Yeah, we got a lot of local professional artists. Agreed. Paul by Jason Critzer
does all comic books. Yeah. And and the way Kyle was kind of explaining it to me a couple of months ago would be, you know, he'd ask him for like a rendition of what they're going to do just so that you don't end up with some goblin like, you know, thing that we, you know, cryptic and, you know, maybe something
that that the community wouldn't necessarily like. And then perhaps those visions could then be voted on by the council members in terms of, yeah, that would look good on this fence or on that city building or that maintenance building. And I I've seen them and they
look uh they look tremendous. That's what they're doing downtown. Correct. The random butterflies wings on the side and they'll photo off. And if it goes over well, I'd love to see something like an art park. Absolutely. And because I think like proms, wedding
every you know that would be a thing. We don't have one in Panama City, but you can look up Winwood walls in um in Miami which started I don't know like maybe 10 years ago um and it went to like a free exhibit. Now it's like one of the main things people go to Miami to see and now
they charge like $40 a ticket and you pay it to go see it. It's so cool. Um and uh it's worth it too. But it's just I wouldn't say it's in a space any bigger than this park right here, but it's just murals all around the park and people like hundreds thousands of people
go each day to see it. So, and the other thing too is the event of having it being painted could be an event all on its own, you know, to bring people into Parker, make them more aware of, you know, we we have some of the prettiest coastline anywhere anywhere. We do. And uh I think a lot of people don't know we
exist. This city exists. So, uh, it'd be nice to that'd be sort of an awareness campaign, you know, to kind of come to the forefront, but cool. Mr. Hall, anything from you? I'd like a jet from
another one from Saudi Arabia. Oh, that kind of a jet. Yeah. Very good. Well, with that, I'll I'll put the May 13th meeting to bed. Thank you, everybody. Thank you, John. Sorry it was such a short
